A new generation is rising up to spread the Gospel despite persecution.

Real change doesn't happen in isolation. It's built in community and fueled by small, intentional steps. What I have learned in my journey is that courage rarely feels comfortable, but it grows as we move. If you've ever waited for clarity, or felt stuck in fear, I want this episode to be a  reminder that courage is built in motion. Let's talk about what it means to step forward, even when your voice shakes, and how being rooted in community can sustain the change we hope to create.   Big Takeaways 00:00 -Introduction and Overview 03:22 -  Courage is Built in Motion, Not Before It 13:07 - Courage Calls Us to Community, Not Just Conviction 23:43 - Outro   Mentions Pod Save the People   I would love to connect with you and hear your thoughts on this!

Show NotesSummaryAre your thoughts running the show—and running you into the ground? In this episode, I share how fear hijacks your head brain and pulls you into overthinking, over-controlling, and shutting down. You'll learn how to renew your mind, interrupt fear's grip, and move from spinning to spirit-led. If your brain's been buzzing and your peace has peaced out… this one's for you.TakeawaysYour head brain is the logic and vision center—but fear can hijack it.Fear often shows up as fight (control), flight (overthinking), or freeze (shutdown).Martha tried to control dinner and missed the moment with Jesus.Gideon needed sign after sign—proof before progress.Elijah called fire from heaven, then collapsed in a cave from fear.Business overthinking shows up as endless planning and delayed launches.Freeze can look like procrastination or ghosting opportunities.Truth shift: Clarity comes after courageous action, not before.God's design includes sound thinking and Spirit-led movement.You can interrupt your fear loop and step into peace, one small move at a time.Sound Bites"Clarity doesn't create courage. Courage actually creates clarity.""Your head brain is a brilliant strategist—until fear hijacks it.""Control doesn't equal peace. Trust is where your rest is found.""You're not stuck. Your head's just in safe mode."Courageous ActionPick your dominant fear response and interrupt it:Fight: Ask Holy Spirit before acting. Act from peace, not pressure.Flight: Set a timer and decide.

Sermon: Be Strong and Courageous, 6-15-25 by Pastor Scott Dalen

In a world that often tolerates fear, timidity, and passivity, God is calling His people to rise with boldness—not a boldness rooted in personality or pride, but one fueled by the power of the Holy Spirit. The gospel was never meant to be consumed quietly, but to be proclaimed powerfully.In June, Pastor Josh, will lead us as we discover what it truly means to walk in Holy Ghost Boldness—the kind of courage that shakes rooms, opens doors, and speaks truth no matter the cost. We'll explore what it looks like for men, fathers, and leaders to rise with Bold Courage, how to walk with Bold Faith that defies circumstance, and how to have a Bold Approach to God—confident, unashamed, and full of expectation.“When they had prayed… they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.” – Acts 4:31It's time to get BOLD. Because Power is not a thing of the past—God is moving today.#bold #sermonseries #overflowdfwwww.overflowdfw.comSupport the show

In this episode, Lauren sits with Leah -- a mama she served as a midwife in 2023 for her vaginal home birth after 2 cesareans. You'll hear her first birth stories and then about how she moved into a stance of renewed self-responsibility which she carried with her into her next pregnancy. During that pregnancy and birth, she dealt with many rounds of discouragement but met them with resilience by getting back up again to continue on her path. Leah's deep connection with her Orthodox faith paired with courageous determination, saw her through a birth that was not particularly easy but was very redemptive. As a fun aside: Leah also used Embrace Birth Journey for her childbirth education and labor preparation, which means both Brooke AND Lauren got to work and walk with her during this pregnancy and birth!

zijn moed om eindelijk een stap te zetten.En: Pieter laughed, not just at her reaction, but because he realized it wasn't the tulip that made an impression, but his courage to finally take a step.Nl: De rest van de dag, genoot hij van het festival, wetende dat hij Sanne niet hoefde te imponeren om plezier te hebben.En: For the rest of the day, he enjoyed the festival, knowing that he didn't have to impress Sanne to have fun.Nl: Het zonlicht zette de tuin opnieuw in vuur en vlam, maar nu was het Pieter die oplichtte, tevreden en vol zelfvertrouwen.En: The sunlight set the garden ablaze once more, but now it was Pieter who lit up, content and full of confidence.

Trigger Warning: This episode contains detailed discussions of child sexual abuse, rape, trauma, and the failures of the justice system.In this powerful and deeply affecting conversation, Neige Sinno speaks with Adam Biles about her landmark book Sad Tiger, recently published in English in a luminous translation by Natasha Lehrer. A searing literary interrogation of the years of abuse Sinno suffered at the hands of her stepfather, Sad Tiger explores the limits of testimony, the insufficiencies of language, and the deep societal denial that silences victims. Sinno reflects on the ethics and formal challenges of writing about trauma, the intellectual and emotional paradoxes of bearing witness, and how literary form can both expose and protect. The conversation touches on Nabokov's Lolita, the myth of the “monster,” and how society colludes in refusing to see evil when it wears a familiar face. Courageous, lucid, and unflinching, Sinno's presence and insights make this an unforgettable episode.Buy Sad Tiger: https://www.shakespeareandcompany.com/books/sad-tigerNeige Sinno is a French writer who has studied American literature in the United States and Mexico, and worked as a translator and literature professor.

Hello, my beautiful friends—this week, we go deep. Not just into the roots of fear, but into the bold, often quiet heartbeat of courage. Inspired by Memorial Day and those I call the Maesters of bravery—from Grandma Gatewood's canvas shoes on the Appalachian Trail to my own personal moments of standing in fear and choosing love—we explore how real courage doesn't mean the fear disappears. It means something else matters more. And yes, that something is often love. In this episode, I share practical, research-backed tools to help you access your own courage—no matter how loud the fear feels. From hiking updates to history's unsung heroes (hello Sherpa Tenzing!), from family memories to the neuroscience of bravery, I hope this one sparks something in you. If it does, please share it. We all need reminders of our light.Reference:1.    Rate, C. R., Clarke, J. A., Lindsay, D. R., & Sternberg, R. J. (2007). Implicit theories of courage.

Have you ever wished you could go back in time to warn someone you love? Maybe stop them from a painful moment or help them avoid a disaster? That's the whole premise of time travel movies—change the past, save the future. But in Acts 21, we meet someone who knew what was coming—and walked straight into it anyway. Paul was warned again and again that danger, imprisonment, and suffering waited for him in Jerusalem. But he went. Why? In today's message, we're exploring Paul's remarkable courage—and how we can have that same unshakable resolve in the face of difficulty. Whether you're facing uncertainty, pressure, or pain, you'll find strength and clarity in this powerful story of Spirit-led surrender. Let's dive in.

In this episode of the Self-Employed Life, I had the great privilege of speaking with Nesha Pai, author of the book “Overcoming Ordinary Obstacles”. Nesha shared how she transitioned from running a fully remote accounting firm to empowering others to pursue their boldest dreams.  She further explains how personal tragedies deepened her mission. We explored the difference between courage and bravery, the “Four C's” framework she uses to guide dreamers into bold action, and how cultivating personal style and daily confidence practices can help us show up as the person we're becoming. Nesha's story is a great reminder that taking courageous, intentional steps—especially through life's hardest seasons—can lead to extraordinary transformation. Nesha Pai is the founder of Pai CPA, PLLC, a fully remote bookkeeping firm in Charlotte, NC.   She started her firm in February 2011,  and was one of the first in the industry to create a fully remote office model, along with giving employment opportunities to primarily to stay-at-home moms. As a single mom, sole owner, she grew from one client on her kitchen table to over 72 with revenues in the multiple six digits. In January 2020 , Nesha published her book “Overcoming Ordinary Obstacles”, which won the award in the Multicultural Non-Fiction category by the 2020 competition of the American Book Fest.  She is currently known as an international speaker, activating women and entrepreneurs to go boldly into the life of their dreams by cultivating the right tools to overcome the obstacles in their way. Nesha is a recent breast cancer survivor and was named one of the Top 50 Infulential Women in The Mecklenburg Times (2020 and 2024), on of Charlotte's biggest media publications.

MJ DePalma sees marketing as an act of human connection, not a numbers game. As Head of Marketing with Purpose at Microsoft, she helped turn the phrase “inclusion is personalization” into a company-wide growth playbook, and a case study in countless business schools.  In her conversation with Ryan, MJ revisits the day Satya Nadella's growth-mindset culture lured her back to Microsoft, and explains why every KPI should ladder to a single mission.  MJ also warns that a two-degree course error in AI can send brands hundreds of miles off track, and describes how quantum computing may rewrite the rules of brand empathy.

It began with good intentions to help Christians be “salt of the earth,” but it's become a trap that convinced Christians to abandon the public square, shrinking the gospel to a private, individualized experience that neglects our duty to engage the world.In other words, the salt has lost its saltiness.How can its saltiness be restored? That's what this essay is about.A real-world example of what's at stakeTo give a live example, Colorado's monstrous bill HB1312 was signed into law last week. The bill criminalizes “deadnaming” and “misgendering” someone who claims a transgender identity.This bill is state-supported child abuse. And we cannot ignore the fact that this bill passed the legislature along party lines, with every Republican voting against it and nearly every Democrat voting for it.Courageous pastors like Chase Davis and Chris Goble led the charge against this bill, pleading with larger and more powerful Colorado-based Christian organizations to wield their influence to prevent the bill's passage. Some of them reluctantly complied after being publicly shamed for their cowardice.

They also chat about the importance of self-care when touring, the power of poetry in bringing out the vulnerability of students, particularly boys, unraveling the patriarchy and practising courageous vulnerability.

In this episode, we're going to explore the power of being fully present with the painful emotions we experience and how, exactly, to do this (as well as how not to do it). This topic might seem like an oddly placed one in the midst of a season of episodes that's intended to be geared towards conscious relationships. And yet, the truth is that emotional opposites are intimately entangled. Painful emotions and pleasurable emotions are, in essence, two sides of the same dualistic coin. And that's why this episode is included here in the midst of a season about conscious relationships, love, connection, etc. Because to love more consciously we must bring more consciousness to all of our feeling experiences—the painful ones included.ResourcesFocusing ResourcesFocusing Therapy: The Classic Six StepsFocusing-Oriented Therapy Instructions (PDF guide)Focusing-Oriented Therapy One: Learning How the Body Speaks and Listening so it Heals (workshop)Podcast EpisodesEp. 92: Beyond Victimhood—Reclaiming and revealing your own inner HeroEp. 88: Healing Beyond Shame: How shame sustains shadow repression + how to disintegrate 'Shamewalls'Ep. 32: Spiritual Bypassing and the Fragmented SelfEp. 10: Triggered: Using emotional triggers as a roadmap to healingReclamation Radio by Dr. Kelly Brogan: Ep. 100—How to Stop Repeating Toxic Relationship PatternsBooksHow to Be Loving* by Daniella LaPorteHow to Do the Work* by Dr. Nicole LePeraThe Surrender Experiment* by Michael A.

Emily Bond turns life-quakes into page-turners, turning chemo rooms into writing rooms and everyday crises into bestselling fiction. In her conversation with Ryan, Emily shares how a surprise Stage 2 breast-cancer diagnosis collided with a two-year-old at her feet, and how she finished her “magical realism rom-com” Sort of Seeing Someone between infusions. She explains the mental trick that kept her buzzing her hair with a toddler by her side, and offers blunt advice on talking to friends who are fighting for their lives. From inking a HarperCollins deal to shelving a pandemic-dated manuscript, she shows that humor, strict deadlines, and a touch of woo-woo can turn any detour into a new chapter.

Solo travel can be one of the most radical ways a woman learns to trust herself, hear herself, and build a life that actually fits.   In this episode, Nesha Pai shares how a solo trip to Paris turned into part-time living, and why she believes every woman should try traveling alone at least once. She talks about the years of intentional choices that made this possible, from starting her own business to setting aside $25 at a time for a travel fund. None of it happened overnight. But over time, it added up to something bigger: a life designed with purpose.   What happens when you give yourself space to be fully alone? What do you learn when there's no one else to consult, compromise with, or wait for? Nesha explains how solo travel creates clarity, confidence, and connection, and how Paris gave her a sense of ease she couldn't find anywhere else.   This episode is for anyone who's felt the pull to step outside their routine and listen to the voice that says, “There's more.” Whether or not part-time living is on your radar, the real question is this: what would change if you stopped waiting for the perfect time and just went?   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Introduction 00:54 Why Solo Travel Matters for Women 03:15 How I Built a Remote Life on Purpose 05:05 Why I Chose Paris 08:00 The Real Benefits of Solo Travel 09:25 What Part-Time Living Can Offer 10:19 The Truth About Traveling Alone 11:25 Stop Waiting - Take the Leap   Connect with Nesha:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/neshapai/ Website: https://www.neshapai.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/neshapai LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/neshapaicpa Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
