SUMMARY In this episode of Martial Arts Radio, Jeremy and Andrew discuss the implications and controversies surrounding the use of the terms 'master' and 'grandmaster' in martial arts. They explore cultural connotations, the subjective nature of mastery, and the relevance of these titles in today's martial arts community. The conversation emphasizes the importance of language and its impact on perceptions within the martial arts world. TAKEAWAYS The term 'master' carries significant cultural implications. Many martial arts schools have moved away from using the term 'master'. Mastery in martial arts is subjective and ongoing. Titles can create barriers in the martial arts community. The term 'master' can imply a finality that doesn't exist in martial arts. Cultural translations of martial arts titles can be misleading. Master is gendered term and should be considered. There is a growing preference for using original language terms in martial arts. The conversation around titles is important for community growth. Feedback and discussion on this topic are encouraged.

She explains how cultural messages about independence often conflict with our biological need for connection, and how healing happens through safe, consistent relationships.

Pastors live in a world overflowing with smart-sounding ideas, leadership hacks, and cultural “truths.” But how do we discern what aligns with Christ—and help the people we lead do the same? In today's episode, John and Jim explore Paul's warning in Colossians 2, the difference between gospel essentials and disputable matters, and how pastors can resist cultural currents that subtly try to reshape their faith and leadership.
On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Andrew Wilson—a trauma-informed fear coach, QHHT practitioner, author, and host of “Beyond Transcendence with Andrew.” They unpack why discomfort is a catalyst for growth, how high achievers slip into self-sabotage, and practical ways to face fear without re-traumatization. We cover shadow work, inner-child healing, journaling, breathwork, and building balance so you can move from reaction to awareness. About the guest: Andrew Wilson helps people transform fear into freedom through trauma-informed coaching and Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT). His work blends mindset, somatic awareness, and practical tools for sustainable emotional regulation and growth. Key takeaways: Discomfort signals growth. Learning to stay present with hard feelings builds resilience and focus. Avoiding emotions like fear, grief, and shame can lead to burnout, anger, and depression; facing them restores balance. Journaling quiets mental noise and clarifies patterns; it's a low-risk starting point for self-inquiry. Understand and work with the subconscious. Awareness plus repetition helps rewrite self-sabotaging scripts. High achievers often carry poverty-oriented beliefs about worthiness; catching self-sabotage early prevents derailment. Vulnerability isn't weakness. Cultural messages like “real men don't cry” create emotional armor that becomes a cage. Shadow work and inner-child repair help integrate parts shaped by trauma, reducing reactivity. To avoid overwhelm, use grounding tools: breathwork (e.g., box breathing), meditation, yoga, movement, nature time, and consistent self-care. Balance is the goal. When balanced, choices align with values and long-term outcomes improve. Practical litmus test for growth vs. re-traumatization: growing self-awareness, faster repair after conflict, and the ability to pause before reacting.

The gift was co-sponsored by Kentucky Wounded Heroes, continuing a Wyler tradition that began two years ago when another veteran received a Toyota 4Runner.Bell's message back to veterans: “Never give up. If you don't quit, you'll make it.”Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

In this episode, Molly Painschab and Clarissa Kennedy reconnect after three transformative weeks together—first in London for the International Food Addiction and Comorbidities Conference, then exploring the magic of Scotland. From castles and waterfalls to ancient standing stones, they share the joy of work, play, and community in recovery. But the heart of today's conversation is the fawn response—a trauma survival strategy often misunderstood as “people pleasing.” Drawing on their own stories and professional experiences, Molly and Clarissa explore how fawning develops, why it feels so challenging to change, and how it manifests in recovery and relationships. What We Talk About Fawning explained: Why it's more than people pleasing and how it functions as a survival strategy. Personal stories: Growing up in emotionally immature households, learning to appease, and the impact on identity and relationships. Adaptive vs. maladaptive fawning: When appeasement helps us survive—and when it harms us. Symptoms and signs: From difficulty saying no, over-apologizing, and hypervigilance to identity loss and emotional exhaustion. Why fawning is reinforced: Cultural, gender, and relational factors that reward compliance at the cost of selfhood. Professional insights: What clinicians and helpers need to know about clients who fawn—including vulnerability to relapse, self-neglect, and difficulty with boundaries. Pathways to healing: Building awareness, practicing small boundaries, parts work, somatic tools, and self-compassion as antidotes to shame. Grief and growth: Naming the loss that comes with shifting out of fawning while also reclaiming voice, choice, and authenticity. Invitation for Listeners This week, reflect on a time you said “yes” when you truly wanted to say “no.” What small, safe boundary might you practice instead? Notice how your body responds, and give yourself permission to honor your needs—one step at a time. ✨ Resources Mentioned Are You Mad at Me? by Meg Josephson Sweet Sobriety Membership & Groups: www.sweetsobriety.ca
This episode takes a hard look at two unfolding stories—Cracker Barrel's disastrous San Francisco-led rebrand and the growing free speech crackdown in the UK. From a restaurant chain alienating its Southern roots to “speech police” raiding homes in the middle of the night over tweets criticizing Hamas, we explore how culture, censorship, and political double standards are colliding. We cover Jewish couples murdered in hate crimes, Islamists celebrating in the streets, and even a 75-year-old woman arrested for silently offering support outside an abortion clinic. What do these stories have in common? A warning about where selective outrage, weaponized laws, and government-backed speech policing can lead—and why Donald J. Trump's supporters see him as the last line of defense.
In this episode I am joined by Dr Francisco José Luis, scholar of Indo-Iranian Studies and Comparative Religion trained at the Sorbonne, Paris and SOAS, London. Francisco recalls his upbringing and education in Luxembourg; details his rigorous academic training in classical languages such as Latin, Greek, and Sanskrit; and laments what he sees as the rise of idealogical indoctrination in modern education Francisco discusses his PhD in pre-reformist Sikhism, his years of field work living in the Punjab, and expresses his love of the German intellectual tradition. Francisco reveals the influence of Neoplatonism in Islamic theology and mysticism, describes his own turn to Shiʿi Islam, and explains why he believes that even today there is a living lineage of Neoplatonism that stretches directly back to Plotinus. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep327-neoplatonic-mystic-dr-francisco-jos-luis Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'. … Topics include: 00:00 - Intro 01:01 - Upbringing in Luxembourg 02:56 - Classical education 04:28 - Learning Latin, Greek, and Sanskrit 08:03 - Germanic intellectual tradition and WW2 12:37 - Advantages of an anti-American education 15:06 - Critical thinking and intellectual independence 17:04 - Boomer educators and idealogical indoctrination 20:59 - German literature 22:56 - Post WW2 culture shock and the boomer revolution 27:20 - Vatican II and loss of trust 30:35 - Filling education gaps 32:06 - A deeply pagan Catholic 35:21 - Meditation practice and interest in Neo-Vedanta 37:52 - Studying two masters degrees simultaneously at the Sorbonne 39:57 - Rigorous training in Sanskrit 43:56 - MA theses in French literature and pre-reform Sikhism 45:20 - PhD at SOAS in pre-reformist Sikh monastic orders 46:48 - Living among the Sikh community and learning Punjabi 49:54 - Young Sikh's interest in pre-reformist religion 50:54 - Death threats from Sikhs 53:00 - Changes in Sikhism 55:20 - Tradition religious music of Sikhism and other pre-reformist features 01:00:18 - Neo-traditionalist Sikh movements in the UK and India 01:03:59 - Falling in love with Shiʿi Islam 01:10:16 - Conversion to Islam? 01:11:45 - Shi'ism as a personal practice 01:13:23 - Cultural barriers against European converts 01:16:12 - Neo-Platonic Vajrayanism 01:17:43 - Mysticism perceived as a threat 01:21:48 - Neoplatonic influence on Islam 01:27:28 - Surprising Neo-Platonic features of Islamic mysticism 01:33:30 - Metempsychosis in Islam 01:37:16 - Francisco is a Neoplatonist 01:43:08 - Vajrayana and Shiʿi inner alchemy and dream yoga 01:50:43 - Islamic tummo … To find our more about Dr Francisco José Luis, visit: - https://www.instagram.com/hludvig_tradicionalista For more interviews, videos, and more visit: - https://www.guruviking.com Music ‘Deva Dasi' by Steve James

Some filmmakers chase trends. Eddie Musa chases truth. Born to Sierra Leonean parents and raised on the beats of hip hop, the grit of 90s Black cinema, and the shadows of Italian neorealism, Eddie doesn't just capture stories — he conjures them. This episode of Visual Intonation Podcast brings you deep into the mind of a filmmaker who sees the world in frames, colors, and feeling.He built his own lane. From student activist to CEO of Musa Majic TV, Eddie turned vision into vocation. You'll hear how he went from college classrooms to directing shorts like Sugar Daddy and Flowers, all while building a creative agency rooted in authenticity. No shortcuts. Just hustle, clarity, and craft.In this conversation, we break down the process. The pressure. The poetry. Eddie talks about making moments that stick — in the mind, in the culture, in the memory of the lens. It's not just about the shot. It's about the soul behind it. The why. The weight. The work.If you care about cinema that moves you, if you live for visuals that speak before words arrive, this one's for you. Eddie Musa doesn't just make films. He makes meaning.

Did you know you can hold a podcast in your off hand? Welcome to the 200th and (kind of) final episode of NOCLIP! With it being both the 200th episode and our tenth anniversary, we figured now would be as good a time as any to finally play Minecraft, one of the most popular and the best selling game of all time, which neither of us had actually played before. Minecraft popularized the previously niche genre of survival games, captivated a huge number of people, and to some degree altered the landscape of online content creation, all while being a procedurally generated game full of blocks created predominately by one guy. Reputation of that one guy aside, it's impressive what this once small game accomplished and the culture it developed. The simplicity of its design allows for more complexity in its systems, with hundreds (probably? Thousands maybe?) of items to craft and a huge world to plumb for resources. The game is also very self-directed, allowing for a lot of player creativity if it does leave you a little directionless at times. The world is equal parts hostile and enticing due to unforgiving enemy spawns and procedural generation, so it is up to the player to determine where and how far they want to go given their current gear and needs. We're going to be talking about the ubiquity of Minecraft in modern culture, the ups and downs of the open nature of the game, and how Minecraft is about two inputs away from a dissociative experience. Thank you for listening this week and for the last, shockingly, ten years. Minecraft is probably the biggest milestone type game we haven't covered yet, and for those of you who have been playing this game for a decade or more, we probably only embarrassingly scratched the surface, so be sure to let us know in the comments or over on our Discord. We have a lot of changes coming soon, the biggest of which is that we are changing the name of the podcast (same great taste though, we aren't changing the format or the contents), so keep an eye on things and don't be shocked when elements of our branding change. Additionally, to celebrate both occasions, we have released a list of my top 100 games of all time, something I've personally wanted to do since I was a kid, so give that a read here (splattershot.pro/top100) if you're interested! Next time, and for the first episode of Describing the Skybox, we're going to be talking about Mouthwashing to kick off the Halloween season! We hope you'll join us then.

With America In Major New Administration & the Political News View Headlines Changing Everyday, This Book is Particularly Intriguing Now!!In 1974 John Egerton published his seminal work, The Americanization of Dixie. Pulitzer Prize-winner Cynthia Tucker and award-winning author Frye Gaillard carry Egerton's thesis forward in The Southernization of America, a compelling series of linked essays considering the role of the South in shaping America's current political and cultural landscape. They dive deeper, examining the morphing of the Southern strategy of Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan into the Republican Party of today, the racial backlash against President Obama, family separation on our southern border, the rise of the Christian right, the white supremacist riots in Charlottesville, the death of George Floyd, and the attack on our nation's capitol. They find hope in the South too, a legacy rooted in the civil rights years that might ultimately lead the nation on the path to redemption. Tucker and Gaillard bring a multiracial perspective and years of political reporting to bear on a critical moment in American history, a time of racial reckoning and democracy under siege.Frye Gaillard is an award-winning journalist with over 30 published works on Southern history and culture, including Watermelon Wine; Cradle of Freedom: Alabama and the Movement that Changed America; The Books That Mattered: A Reader's Memoir; Journey to the Wilderness: War, Memory, and a Southern Family's Civil War Letters; Go South to Freedom; A Hard Rain: America in the 1960s, Our Decade of Hope, Possibility, and Innocence Lost; and The Slave Who Went to Congress. A Hard Rain was selected as one of NPR's Best Books of 2018. Writer-in-residence at the University of South Alabama, he is also John Egerton Scholar in Residence at the Southern Foodways Alliance at the University of Mississippi. He is the winner of the Clarence Cason Award for Nonfiction Writing, the Lillian Smith Book Award, and the Eugene Current-Garcia Award For Distinction in Literary Scholarship. In 2019, Gaillard was awarded the Alabama Governor's Arts Award for his contributions to literature.Cynthia Tucker is a Pulitzer Prize-winning syndicated columnist who has spent most of her career in journalism, having previously worked for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution as an editorial page editor and as a Washington-based political columnist. She has also been featured as a political commentator on television and radio. Tucker's work as a journalist has been celebrated by the National Association of Black Journalists (who inducted her into its hall of fame), Harvard University, and the Alabama Humanities Foundation. She spent three years as a visiting professor at the University of Georgia's Grady College of Journalism and is currently the journalist-in-residence at the University of South Alabama.© 2025 Building Abundant Success!!2025 All Rights ReservedJoin Me on ~ iHeart Media @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASSpot Me on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23baAmazon Music ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAudacy: https://tinyurl.com/BASAud

110. How to Rethink Drinking Without "Hitting Rock Bottom"What if your relationship with alcohol doesn't require a dramatic rock-bottom moment to change? In this episode of SetSet, I sit down with sobriety coach Martha Wright, who went from building a life around wine—professionally and personally—to questioning its role in her daily rituals. Just as I did with cannabis. Together, Martha and I explore what it means to be a “gray area drinker,” how midlife hormonal shifts impact our cravings and consumption, and how reframing our beliefs about alcohol can free us from it—without shame or labels. This conversation is rich in neuroscience, compassion, and personal insight, offering a fresh and empowering approach to alcohol use.

In this exclusive Pop Culture Edition of Sasquatch Odyssey, Dani dives headfirst into the world of comics to explore one of the most fascinating pop culture interpretations of Bigfoot: Marvel's Sasquatch. Created in the late 1970s, Marvel's Sasquatch isn't just a towering cryptid lurking in the woods—he's Dr. Walter Langkowski, a Canadian scientist whose experiments unlock a transformation into a massive, orange-furred creature with superhuman strength.A longtime member of Alpha Flight, Marvel's premier Canadian superhero team, Sasquatch has stood shoulder to shoulder with legends like Wolverine and the X-Men, bringing the folklore of Bigfoot into the heart of the Marvel Universe.In this episode, Dani paints a vivid picture of the character's design and evolution: the towering frame, the primal roar, the duality of man and beast. But more than just description, we dig into what this character means. How does Marvel's Sasquatch reflect our cultural fascination with cryptids? Why do we continually reimagine Bigfoot in new forms—from wilderness monster to sports mascot to superhero? Drawing on psychology and sociology, Dani explores how this superhero iteration taps into deeper human questions: the tension between science and myth, the fear and fascination of transformation, and the way folklore adapts to modern storytelling. By turning Bigfoot into a hero instead of a horror, Marvel redefined the cultural script, showing how the same legend can embody both primal terror and protective strength.And, in true Sasquatch Odyssey fashion, the episode also asks: how do these portrayals ripple back into the real world? Could repeated depictions of Sasquatch as noble or heroic actually shape how people process their own encounters in the wild?Finally, stick around until the end of the episode for a special surprise: Brian joins the conversation to share his take on Marvel's Sasquatch, and how he sees pop culture constantly influencing real-life beliefs about Bigfoot.This is an episode that blends comics, folklore, psychology, and the enduring mystery of the creature in the woods.Whether you're a Marvel fan, a Bigfoot believer, or just curious about how myths evolve, this Pop Culture Edition proves one thing: Sasquatch isn't just hiding in the forest—he's alive and well in the pages of our favorite comics.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

Cultural humility is a lifelong practice of self-reflection, openness, and respect for the diverse backgrounds of the families we serve. Unlike cultural competence, which can imply mastering knowledge about “other cultures,” cultural humility emphasizes curiosity, listening, and shared decision-making. In pediatrics, this is especially important because care involves both the child and the family, whose cultural values strongly shape health beliefs and practices.Today's discussion is an opportunity to reflect together: how do we approach cultural humility in pediatrics, and what steps can we take to deepen it in our daily practice?Dr. Ana Aguilar, DO is originally from Loveland, OH. She went to Transylvania University where she did not major in Blood-Sucking and Shadow-Walking, but instead earned a dual degree in Molecular Biology and Anthropology. She attended Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine and is a very recent Loyola graduate, now completing a chief year with her best friend and co-chief, Dr. Sana Moqeet, MD.

In this episode, Lindsey Maestas tackles the outrage and confusion surrounding Charlie Kirk's death with a bold Christian perspective. Why casual Christianity is no longer acceptable — lukewarm faith won't survive in a world that mocks conviction. Why celebrating murder is pure evil — and how Christians must reject a culture that cheers for death. The weaponization of memory & “martyr” narratives — how both sides twist a man's life and death for political gain. The silencing of dissent and free discourse — why cancel culture threatens both faith and freedom. God's uncompromising view on murder — the sanctity of life and the danger of playing judge. God's call to radical love over destructive division — how believers can be peacemakers in a fractured, hostile world. This is a wake-up call for Christians who are tired of surface-level faith and cultural compromise. With biblical truth and real talk on politics and discipleship, Lindsey calls us higher: to boldness, holiness, and unity in a world that's tearing itself apart.
Summary In this special episode of InContext, Dr. Michael Easley sits down with the late Dr. Voddie Baucham, Jr.—pastor, professor, and cultural apologist—for a wide-ranging conversation about faith, family, and living with conviction in a confused culture. Voddie shares his remarkable journey to Christ, from growing up without the gospel to encountering Christ in college and pursuing a call to ministry. At the time of this conversation, he was serving as Dean of the School of Divinity at African Christian University in Lusaka, Zambia. With candor and humor, he reflects on raising nine children, the discipline of homeschooling, and the patience and selflessness required in marriage. He also describes how God's providence led his family to Zambia, teaching them to live with “open hands.” The discussion moves into cultural apologetics, where Voddie explains his bold approach to addressing issues like BLM, social justice, marriage, and sexuality—not by chasing headlines but by exposing false foundations and pointing people back to God's design. Though he has since gone home to be with the Lord, this conversation remains a testimony to Voddie's unwavering courage, pastoral heart, and legacy of faithfulness that continues to inspire. Key Takeaways Voddie's journey to Christ began in college, shaping his lifelong ministry calling. Raising nine children taught him discipline, faith, and the need for patience. God called the Bauchams to Zambia through providential open-handed obedience. Cultural apologetics requires exposing false foundations, not chasing headlines. Modern education and parenting philosophies leave generations unable to think critically. Believers are called to steward “what's in their hand” for God's purposes.

Preview: The origins of the UK involve many cultural incomers, including the earlier Anglo-Saxons and Romans. The Viking "great heathen army" (c. 865), referred to in Old Englishas micel here, should be understood as smaller, mobile war bands with various leaders. This structure allowed the Norseinvaders to utilize waterways, split their forces, and maintain the element of surprise, complicating defensive predictions. Retry
