Frontline healthcare workers and the patients they serve are facing a major crisis at the University of Vermont Health network—the state's leading healthcare provider. “In June, UVM Health eliminated over 140 positions across its network, a third of which were union positions,” Matt More reports at The Rake Vermont. “The cuts, which the hospital estimated will save $9.5 million, comes as the network faces a $300 million budget shortfall… Later that month, UVM Health handed down a speed-up order to its Medical Group, which includes outpatient clinics and more than 1,000 physicians, which practitioners say will result in briefer appointments with patients.”How did Vermont's flagship health network end up in this crisis? How is it affecting healthcare workers and their patients? And what can be done to fix it? In this episode of Working People, we speak with Melissa Lavallee, secretary of UVMMC Support Staff United and VP of healthcare for AFT-Vermont; and Teagan Cook, lead outpatient chemotherapy scheduler at her hospital and a chief steward in UVMMC Support Staff United.Additional links/info: UVMMC Support Staff United website, Facebook page, and InstagramAFT-Vermont website, Facebook page, and InstagramMatt Moore, The Rake Vermont, “UVM Health's unions fight hospital cuts to protect their patients' healthcare and their working conditions”Town Meeting TV, “Put workers and patients first! - Solidarity town hall meeting with UVM Medical Center unions”Olivia Gieger, VT Digger, “UVM Health cuts 142 jobs — an estimated $9.5 million in staff positions”Featured Music: Jules Taylor, Working People Theme SongCredits: Audio Post-Production: Jules TaylorBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-news-podcast--2952221/support.Help us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!

Transcript:Ca: Amb el sol brillant reflectint-se sobre les carenes verdes dels Pirineus, Pere, Júlia i Marta es dirigiren al seu refugi de muntanya.En: With the bright sun reflecting off the green ridges of the Pirineus, Pere, Júlia, and Marta headed to their mountain refuge.Ca: Llavors, l'aire era fresc, ple de l'aroma de les flors d'estiu que envoltaven el xalet.En: The air was fresh, filled with the aroma of summer flowers surrounding the chalet.Ca: Pere havia escollit meticulosament aquest lloc per fer realitat el seu somni: demanar matrimoni a Júlia en un indret màgic.En: Pere had meticulously chosen this place to make his dream come true: to propose to Júlia in a magical setting.Ca: Júlia, en canvi, desitjava descansar i alleugerir-se de l'estrès acumulat a la feina.En: Júlia, on the other hand, wanted to relax and relieve the accumulated stress from work.Ca: Marta, la millor amiga de Júlia, era allà per donar suport, conscient dels plans secrets de Pere.En: Marta, Júlia's best friend, was there to support, aware of Pere's secret plans.Ca: Un matí assolellat, mentre passejaven pels senders envoltats de natura, Júlia va aturar-se davant d'una planta amb flors brillants.En: On a sunny morning, as they walked along the trails surrounded by nature, Júlia stopped in front of a plant with bright flowers.Ca: Sense pensar-hi, s'hi va acostar per olorar-la.En: Without thinking, she approached to smell it.Ca: En pocs minuts, la seva pell començà a envermellir, i va sentir una picor intensa.En: Within minutes, her skin began to redden, and she felt an intense itch.Ca: Pere notà immediatament que alguna cosa no anava bé.En: Pere immediately noticed something was wrong.Ca: Júlia va començar a tenir dificultats per respirar, i el terror es va apoderar d'ella.En: Júlia started to have difficulty breathing, and terror overpowered her.Ca: Pere, amb el cor a mil, havia d'actuar ràpidament.En: Pere, with his heart racing, had to act quickly.Ca: La ciutat més propera era lluny, almenys trenta minuts en cotxe per camins sinuosos de muntanya.En: The nearest city was far, at least thirty minutes by car on winding mountain roads.Ca: La seva ment recordà les lliçons de primers auxilis que havia rebut unes setmanes abans.En: His mind recalled the first aid lessons he had received a few weeks earlier.Ca: Amb una veu ferma, Pere li demanà a Marta que ajudés Júlia a seure i respirar profundament.En: With a firm voice, Pere asked Marta to help Júlia sit and breathe deeply.Ca: Marta estava nerviosa.En: Marta was nervous.Ca: Havia renovat les seves pors a les emergències.En: Her fears of emergencies had been renewed.Ca: Pere corregué cap al xalet, buscant l'antihistamínic que havia portat per si de cas.En: Pere ran to the chalet, searching for the antihistamine he had brought just in case.Ca: Va tornar ràpidament i va administrar la medicació a Júlia.En: He quickly returned and administered the medication to Júlia.Ca: Els nervis anaven afluixant-se una mica.En: The nerves began to ease a little.Ca: Júlia començà a respirar més fàcilment, però encara necessitava atenció mèdica.En: Júlia started to breathe more easily, but she still needed medical attention.Ca: Decidits, van carregar el cotxe i es dirigiren a la ciutat amb Marta animant Júlia.En: Determined, they loaded the car and headed to the city with Marta encouraging Júlia.Ca: El viatge semblava etern, però, gràcies als esforços de Pere i Marta, van arribar a la clínica abans que la situació empitjorés.En: The journey seemed endless, but thanks to the efforts of Pere and Marta, they reached the clinic before the situation worsened.Ca: Júlia fou atesa d'immediat pels metges que confirmaren que estava fora de perill.En: Júlia was immediately attended to by doctors who confirmed she was out of danger.Ca: Un sentiment d'alleujament envaí tots tres.En: A sense of relief engulfed all three.Ca: Júlia, encara dèbil però agraïda, somrigué a Pere.En: Júlia, still weak but grateful, smiled at Pere.Ca: Ell, en veure que la situació estava controlada, sentí un nou nivell de compromís cap a ella.En: He, seeing that the situation was under control, felt a new level of commitment towards her.Ca: Pere aprengué a afrontar situacions crítiques, i Marta es va adonar que, tot i les seves pors, podia mantenir la calma.En: Pere learned to face critical situations, and Marta realized that, despite her fears, she could remain calm.Ca: Más tard, en un moment tranquil, Pere prengué la mà de Júlia sota el cel estrellat dels Pirineus.En: Later, in a quiet moment, Pere took Júlia's hand under the starry sky of the Pirineus.Ca: Amb cor valent i feliç, li demanà compartir la vida junts.En: With a brave and happy heart, he asked her to share their lives together.Ca: Júlia, emocionada, respongué "sí" amb un somriure radiant malgrat les llàgrimes als ulls.En: Júlia, emotional, responded "yes" with a radiant smile despite the tears in her eyes.Ca: Les estrelles brillaven amb força aquella nit, com si celebressin el seu amor acabat de segellar.En: The stars shone brightly that night, as if celebrating their newly sealed love.

It's amazing how much Harley Quinn has grown and changed since her first appearance on Batman: The Animated Series. And the biggest and most important change is in her relationship with the Joker. First appearing as a simple henchwoman, then as a regularly abused partner, Harley has grown into an independent characters separate, and possible as popular, as Joker. But that wasn't an easy process. This week, Patreon backer Sam Hopper returns and we investigate three of the stories that took place during the latter part of that relationship in DC comics continuity (or adjacent to it). We read one of their last confrontations in the post-Crisis canon, their first meeting on panel in the New 52, and a weird little possible future.

J.J. McCarthy's stunning fall in Minnesota has Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber wondering whether the Jets should make a move. With the Vikings already naming Kyler Murray the starter, they argue New York cannot afford to ignore a former first-round quarterback while its own room remains unsettled around Geno Smith. Even if McCarthy never becomes the answer, the Jets need to keep taking swings at the most important position. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber as they also react to Aaron Glenn sounding far more comfortable as a head coach, the Jets' commitment to Geno, and why young quarterbacks now have such a short window to prove themselves. Plus, the conversation turns to Jaxson Dart's development and the NFL's renewed value of running backs.

DESCRIPTION Biblical leadership and spiritual warfare were never meant to be separated. From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture repeatedly connects godly authority with the responsibility to guard, protect, preserve, and advance what God has established. In this powerful Biblical Life teaching, Dr. Michael Lake examines a truth the modern Church desperately needs to recover: Every legitimate biblical leader is called to stand under God's authority—and biblical authority carries with it the responsibility to resist darkness. The shepherd's staff provides a powerful picture of this principle. It steadies the leader's walk, guides those who follow, and can become a weapon when the flock is threatened. That pattern begins in Genesis. Adam was commissioned to exercise dominion, guard what God entrusted to him, and extend God's order throughout the earth. Yet the spiritual conflict was already underway. Leadership was necessary precisely because there was something that needed to be guarded. This principle continues throughout Scripture. ·      Noah protected humanity through obedience. ·      Abraham defended the covenant family. ·      Moses confronted Pharaoh. ·      Joshua led Israel against the corruption of Canaan. ·      David defended Israel from its enemies. ·      Nehemiah rebuilt Jerusalem while preparing the people to fight. And Jesus Christ—the perfect Shepherd, Leader, and Warrior—came "doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil" (Acts 10:38). The modern Church has often separated leadership from spiritual warfare. The result has been weakened families, passive believers, exhausted pastors, confused authority structures, and Christians who have never been taught how to stand their ground spiritually. That must change. Dr. Lake examines how biblical leadership establishes God's order, while spiritual warfare protects it. You will discover why: ·      Leadership begins with submission to God's authority. ·      The home is one of the first places biblical leadership must operate. ·      Husbands and wives were designed to function together under God's order. ·      Spiritual warfare did not begin in Genesis 3—the conflict was already present in Genesis 1. ·      Adam was commissioned to rule, guard, and preserve what God entrusted to him. ·      The shepherd's staff symbolizes both leadership and warfare. ·      Satan consistently targets leaders because destroying leadership scatters those under its protection. ·      The fivefold ministry carries specific responsibilities in the spiritual conflict. ·      Truth, holiness, prayer, obedience, discernment, and forgiveness are powerful weapons of biblical leadership. ·      Spiritual authority grows as believers themselves submit to the authority of Christ. ·      The name of Jesus must govern us before we presume to exercise His authority against the enemy. One of the most important principles in this teaching is simple: ·      Because I am under authority, I can move in authority. ·      Spiritual authority is not bravado. ·      It is not yelling at demons. ·      It is not religious theatrics. It flows from submission to Jesus Christ, obedience to the Word of God, holiness, covenant faithfulness, and a life increasingly governed by the character of Christ. The days ahead will require believers who know how to lead themselves, protect their households, discern deception, stand on biblical truth, and resist the kingdom of darkness. It is time to take up the shepherd's staff again.  It is time to LEAD.  It is time to GUARD.  It is time to STAND.  And when necessary, it is time to FIGHT. The Bible is not merely a devotional book.  It is also a war book. And God is preparing His remnant to understand how biblical leadership and spiritual warfare function together. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ HELP US REACH AND EQUIP THE REMNANT If this teaching strengthens you, please: ✓ LIKE this video—it helps YouTube recommend this teaching to others. ✓ SUBSCRIBE to Biblical Life TV and turn on notifications so you don't miss future teachings. ✓ SHARE this message with pastors, fathers, husbands, ministry leaders, intercessors, and believers who understand that the Church must recover biblical leadership. ✓ COMMENT BELOW: What area of biblical leadership do you believe the Church most urgently needs to recover?

A series of 16 influential political pamphlets published between 1776 and 1783 during the American Revolutionary War (1775-83) titled The American Crisis, or simply The Crisis, by eighteenth-century Enlightenment philosopher and author Thomas Paine — an Englishman living in the colonies who signed his essays anonymously as "Common Sense," the title of his earlier influential work. Each essay, bolstered the morale of the American colonists to fight hard for their independence, appealed to the English to support the colonist's cause, clarified the issues at stake, and denounced any type of negotiated peace. The essays were gathered into one volume in 1882, showcasing the iconic opening line: "These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman."

In this episode of Catching Up, Nate McClennen and Mason Pashia tackle three of the most urgent tensions in modern education. They explore a landmark Penn study revealing that while AI can streamline lesson planning, it may inadvertently erode student intrinsic motivation and engagement. The hosts also dive into the "truancy triangle"—a framework for understanding chronic absenteeism that balances policy and wraparound support with the often-overlooked necessity of designing learning experiences that students genuinely find relevant and worth attending. The conversation extends to the broader future of work, contrasting the fears of an "AI job apocalypse" with the reality of an impending demographic job cliff in sectors like healthcare, skilled trades, and education. Balancing these heavy topics, the episode highlights the power of real-world learning, featuring New York City's Summer Youth Employment Program—which leverages World Cup excitement to connect students to paid, hands-on projects—and a "good guy" neighborhood microgrant initiative designed to strengthen community ties. Join Nate and Mason for an honest, layered conversation on how school leaders can cut through the noise to design schools that foster belonging and meaningful outcomes.

American Red Cross declares blood crisis The American Red Cross has declared a national blood crisis, only the second time in its history it has taken that step. The first was in January 2022 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. This time, blood donations have fallen to a four-year summer low, and demand remains elevated. The shortage is especially urgent for type O blood, as supplies of O positive fell below a one-day supply in late July. Wednesday on the "Sound of Ideas" hosted by Stephanie Haney, we'll look at what's driving this shortage, how it's affecting hospitals and patients, and how you can help rebuild the nation's blood supply. Guest:- Christina Peters, Northern Ohio Regional Communications Director, American Red Cross Global HIV/AIDS research continues despite cuts to U.S. funding Later in the hour, a conversation about HIV/AIDS funding and the latest in research and treatment options. In 2019, during his State of the Union address, President Donald Trump called for the elimination of HIV transmission in the U.S. by 2030. Two years later, the United Nations adopted a similar declaration globally. But in 2026, those goals are facing significant challenges. In March 2025, the Trump administration terminated a federal advisory committee on HIV prevention and treatment. By the end of the year, global government funding to low and middle-income countries fell 25% compared with 2024, according to KFF. This February, the administration rescinded $600 million in Centers for Disease Control grants supporting HIV prevention and surveillance programs. Then in April, Trump announced plans to remove all members of the HIV/AIDS Presidential Advisory Council. Those changes came shortly after the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services laid off more than 10,000 federal health employees, including staff working on infectious disease and HIV/AIDS. The U.S. set out to reduce new HIV infections by 75% by 2025, which would have brought the number of new cases down to about 9,300. But the latest CDC data from 2024 puts the number of cases closer to 39,000. So, is the 2030 goal line still within reach? The future is uncertain. Guest:- Asia Russell, Executive Director, Health GAP (Global Access Project) Ideastream's Summer Interns Last week, we said goodbye to our 2026 cohort of interns here at Ideastream Public Media. Throughout the summer, our nine Cleveland interns learned about their respective fields and honed their crafts throughout our multiple departments – including news, marketing and radio broadcast. To learn more about these interns– what they accomplished here, their career aspirations and what they took away from this experience – we brought them on the show. We heard from four interns last week, and on Wednesday we will hear from the remaining five.

Step inside the AI gold rush, where billions flood into data centers, and the scramble for electricity, water, and infrastructure ignites fierce political battles. John Rush, Andy Peth, and America's Money Answer Man Jordan Goodman unpack how this tech arms race with China could transform how Americans work, invest, and compete. From robots in farming to the future of the skilled trades, discover whether technology will spark new opportunity or wipe out entire industries. The debate gets real about the growing gap between open jobs and a workforce facing soaring college costs and vanishing interest in hands-on careers. Corporate America is shaking as a wave of mergers and AI-driven startups crash onto the scene. With China pouring resources into the same race, is this the dawn of a revolution even bigger than the Internet? Timestamps 1:19 — Jordan Goodman — America's Money Answer Man HOUR 2 Colorado GOP Showdown: Power Struggles and the Battle for the Party's Soul Power plays, public feuds, and accusations fly as John Rush and Andy Peth expose the escalating battle for control of the Colorado GOP. From party bylaws and free speech wars to the heated question: Can Republicans ever win statewide while locked in civil war? No campaign tactic escapes scrutiny. Marx's fundraising, debate strategy, and even his place as the nominee come under the microscope—all while John and Andy lay out the stakes for the party's future. The hour crescendos with the ultimate question: Will Republicans unite, or will inner turmoil doom their chances? Hear why the opt-out controversy, Greg Lopez's rogue campaign, and whispers of replacing Marx could decide Colorado's political future. HOUR 3 Prophecy, Power, and Political Crossroads: Faith, Accountability, and Colorado's GOP Crisis The hour launches with filmmaker Matthew Thayer's gripping look at modern prophecy and whether anyone can truly hear the voice of God. Thayer's documentary, featuring one of Charlie Kirk's last unseen interviews, dares to question political prophecies and reveals why real faith means facing hard truths, not just predicting the future. Next, Mark Meckler of Convention of States tackles government accountability: Will Anthony Fauci ever face consequences? How far should states go to rein in federal power? The conversation dives deep into term limits, balanced budgets, and the controversial reforms some say are the only way to save Social Security. The show wraps with a return to Colorado's high-stakes governor's race. Will Greg Lopez's outsider campaign make real waves, or will the party rally behind Marx in time to win big or risk losing it all in November?

Sitting still should be the easiest thing in the world, right? But for a lot of people, it's maybe the hardest.This episode moves into the third mixed state: stillness and intimacy — safety plus shutdown, immobility without fear. What actually makes it safe to sit still, use the restroom, or fall asleep at night. Why meditation, yoga, and even bedtime can feel dangerous for someone who lives in flight, fight, or freeze. And what changes the moment a safe person joins you in stillness.This is Episode 12 of the Stuck Not Broken audiobook — Book 1, Trauma & the Polyvagal Paradigm.

What does it mean to be a man according to Scripture? In this episode of inContext, Michael Easley welcomes Dr. Paul Pettit to discuss his book A Courageous Identity and the urgent need for Christ-centered masculinity. Together they examine why so many young men are struggling with loneliness, fatherlessness, addiction, and a lack of purpose, while offering a biblical vision of courageous leadership rooted in the example of Jesus Christ.

In a shocking conversation, Heather Mac Donald, author of "When Race Trump's Merit," joins the show to discuss the state of homelessness in Los Angeles and the city's misguided approach to addressing the issue. The numbers are staggering: despite a record amount of money being spent on homeless services, the number of people living on the streets has actually increased. The city's leaders are quick to blame the federal government and the state government for cuts in funds, but the reality is that the problem is a result of public officials' decisions to allow street vagrancy and neglect the needs of law-abiding citizens. This episode delves into the world of homelessness, where the lines between reality and fiction are blurred. The speaker and Heather Mac Donald discuss the root causes of the problem, including the permissive attitude towards drugs and the glorification of vagrancy in popular culture. They also touch on the idea that many politicians are more interested in maintaining the status quo and protecting their own interests than in finding real solutions to the crisis. The conversation also covers the topic of street takeovers, where groups of people block off streets and engage in reckless behavior, often with little to no consequences. The speaker and Heather MacDonald discuss the need for a zero-tolerance approach to these incidents and the importance of holding public officials accountable for their actions. If you're interested in learning more about the state of homelessness in Los Angeles and the city's misguided approach to addressing the issue, tune in to this episode to hear Heather Mac Donald's insightful perspective and the speaker's thought-provoking analysis.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Returning guest Marguerite Lorenz is here to talk about all things trust and estate related. She has a new book, Luck or Control, The Life-Improving Power of Estate Planning,” reflecting on how a rushed, outdated will during the host's husband's terminal cancer diagnosis made planning urgent and life-easing. Lorenz argues estate planning is not about wealth or only death, but about documenting preferences for incapacity, healthcare, and distribution to avoid confusion, family conflict, fraud risks, and costly probate (noting a $46,000 minimum in California for a $1 million estate). They discuss choosing qualified estate-planning attorneys, updating plans, naming multiple healthcare agents, tracking fiduciary actions, avoiding “early inheritance” ambiguity, and real cases involving elder financial abuse, safe deposit boxes, life estates, pet trusts, no-contest clauses, and special needs/public benefits concerns, directing listeners to planforthis.com for a free toolkit.and you need to go and get it!  https://planforthis.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/californiatrustee/Previous episode with Marguerite: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-21-marguerite-c-lorenz-ctfa-clpf-master-trustee/id1530413097?i=10005103724910:58 Why Estate Plans Matter03:14 Cost Versus Probate06:17 Free Toolkit And Hiring Help07:28 Fiduciary Duty Explained08:37 Family Caregiving Gray Areas12:43 Document Everything As Trustee15:31 The Black Box Problem17:52 Choose Your Three People20:35 Agency And End Of Life Choices24:42 Mabel Casino Cautionary Tale27:23 Preventing Inheritance Fights29:46 No Contest Clauses And Spite32:17 Leaving Love Not Destruction33:26 Fairness Between Children34:02 Fairness Can Flip34:37 Needs Based Trusts35:39 Love Not Punishment37:46 Planning for Incapacity41:04 Life Estates and Marriage Myths43:51 Pet Trust Pitfalls46:53 Sign the Documents48:44 Wills and POA Basics50:28 Stop Clever Workarounds52:05 Safe Deposit Box Chaos55:35 Special Needs and Flexibility01:00:34 Fund the Trust and Wrap Up

Welcome to episode 258 of Grasp the Bible. In this episode, we will examine faith in the fire — what Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego teach us about trusting God when deliverance is not guaranteed, and obedience may cost everything.  Key takeaways:   The furnace did not create the faith of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego — it revealed it. Crisis does not build character; it exposes what is already there. You do not develop convictions in the crisis. You discover in the crisis what convictions you have already developed. Their response showed no panic, no search for loopholes, no deliberation. Just calm, settled resolve. Why? Because they had already decided — long before the furnace — that they would worship Yahweh alone regardless of consequences. The heat of the moment is the worst time to figure out what you believe. They distinguished clearly between God's ability and God's will. “The God we serve is able to deliver us” — no doubt about His power. “But even if He does not” — full submission to His will. Mature faith trusts God's character when it cannot understand His plan. Immature faith says, “I will trust God if He does what I want.” Mature faith says, “I will trust God whether or not He does what I want.” Their obedience was not contingent on deliverance. They were not negotiating. They were declaring. God's love is not measured by whether He gives us what we ask for. It is demonstrated by what He has already done in Christ. Unanswered prayer is not evidence of God's absence — it may be evidence that He is accomplishing purposes beyond what we can see. Their faithfulness was not contingent on rescue — and rescue came because of their faithfulness. They did not know they would be delivered when they took their stand. They were prepared to die. Faithfulness means doing right because it is right, regardless of outcome. We are outcome-oriented people who measure faithfulness by results. The three Hebrews define faithfulness differently: obedience to God's commands regardless of consequences. Redefine success as faithfulness, not outcomes.  Quotable:   The furnace question is not “Will God deliver me?” It is “Will I worship Him even if He doesn't?” Faith in the fire is not about demanding rescue — it is about trusting the God who is worthy of worship whether the answer is yes or no.  Application:    Settle your convictions before the crisis arrives. The time to decide what you believe about Christ's lordship, the authority of Scripture, and the non-negotiables of obedience is now — not when you are standing in front of the furnace. Will you compromise biblical truth to keep your job? Deny Christ to preserve a relationship? Conform to cultural pressure to avoid social cost? Decide now. When the pressure comes, your conviction will produce courage — or your lack of it will produce compromise.  Stop demanding that God prove His love through favorable outcomes. “If God really loved me, He would heal this, fix that, give me this.” The three Hebrews destroy that theology. The cross already proved God's love. You do not need rescue to confirm what Calvary already demonstrated. When you face unanswered prayer, resist the conclusion that God is absent or indifferent. Trust His character when you cannot understand His ways.  Redefine faithfulness as obedience, not outcomes. What would it look like to keep worshiping, keep obeying, keep trusting if God never answers your prayer the way you want? If the prodigal does not come home? If the health does not improve? If the ministry does not grow? The measure of your faith is not what God does in response — it is what you do regardless. Obey today whether tomorrow brings rescue or not.  Learn the difference between God's ability and God's will — and submit to both. Confidence in God's power and submission to God's plan are not in tension — they are the two halves of mature faith. Pray boldly for deliverance. Believe He is able. Then hold the outcome loosely. He may be more concerned with your holiness than your comfort, and more interested in writing a story bigger than your rescue.  Connect with us:    Web site:  https://springbaptist.org  Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/SBCKleinCampus (Klein Campus) https://www.facebook.com/SpringBaptist (Spring Campus)  Need us to pray for you?

When your family is in crisis, the last thing you want to do is start the orientation process of finding support. You need help - ASAP. So that time when things feel a bit calmer, and your teen seems to be doing okay, might actually be the best time to build the support system they'll need for the road ahead.In this episode, Seth Gottlieb joins me to explore why waiting until your family is in crisis often makes it harder to get the right help in place. We discuss the unique roles of therapists, mentors, and parent coaches, why they aren't interchangeable, and how creating a strong support system before problems escalate can make all the difference for both you and your teen.If you're looking for support for parents of struggling teens, we'll help you think beyond crisis management and toward proactive, long-term support.

Why do we so often wait until our relationship is in crisis before we do something about it?In this episode of Geordie Lass & Doc Sass, we explore the slow, often almost invisible slide from feeling connected to simply going through the motions.Sometimes there's a big event that knocks a relationship sideways. But often it's much quieter. We stop making time for each other. Appreciation disappears. Conversations become functional. We tell ourselves it's just a busy month, work is stressful or things will get better when life calms down. Until one day we wonder: how did we get here?❤️ THE DESK OF LOVEWe start with research into what happens when women earn more than their male partners, and why the real issue may be less about who brings home the bigger salary and more about who is still carrying the mental load.When one person is managing the appointments, childcare, holidays, meals, laundry and household admin, resentment can quietly build.And yes, we somehow end up discussing that age-old relationship battleground: the dishwasher.

A lot is said about the crisis facing American young men, but America's young women are in a crisis of their own — including young women who consider themselves conservative and Christian.
