Podcasts about Daring

Episode Summary: When you are crushed and broken hearted, where do you go to find hope? Jesus said that in this life we will have pain, heartbreak, and trials. So how do we deal with our pain? What does it look like to walk with God in our grief. Our guest today has experienced her share of pain including a traumatic brain injury as well as cancer diagnoses for two of her daughters. In her suffering, Linda boldly asked God tough questions like How do I keep going? God, where are you? And How do I keep trusting. In honor of Grief Awareness Day, today we’re going to be talking about Daring to Hope When Your Heart Is Shattered: Trusting God Through Pain and Loss. Quotables from the episode: I'm going to dare to hope anyway. I am going to dare to hope. God, I can't give up. I have to keep trusting you. I will not give up. I will not give up. I will not give up. Hope does not come from a change in your circumstances, but from a change in your thinking. I had to look up, I had to look at him, and I had to say ‘I won't give up.’ You are my hope, God, and my hope will be in you. If I got on my knees and opened my hands and surrendered to him, I got my perspective right because my eyes were lifted up to him. The greatest way to pour hope into your hurting heart is to sink deep into the love of God. Because being with you, my beloved, is the most important thing in my life. Peace can't be in our circumstances. It has to be in him. Scripture References: Lamentations 3:21-24 “Yet I still dare to hope when I remember this: The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. I say to myself, ‘The Lord is my inheritance;’ therefore, I will hope in him!” Habakkuk 2:4 “The just shall live by faith.” Romans 15:13 “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Recommended Resources: Hope for My Hurting Heart: 8 Heart Skills to Help You Cling to God and Not Give Up by Linda Dillow Calm My Anxious Heart by Linda Dillow Free Stress-Response Personality Assessment Sacred Scars: Resting in God’s Promise That Your Past Is Not Wasted by Dr. Michelle Bengtson The Hem of His Garment: Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner AWSA 2024 Golden Scroll Christian Living Book of the Year and the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Christian Living and Non-Fiction categories YouVersion 5-Day Devotional Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms Today is Going to be a Good Day: 90 Promises from God to Start Your Day Off Right by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, AWSA Member of the Year, winner of the AWSA 2023 Inspirational Gift Book of the Year Award, the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Devotional category, the 2023 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in four categories, and the Christian Literary Awards Henri Award for Devotionals YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 1 YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 2 Revive & Thrive Women’s Online Conference Revive & Thrive Summit 2 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 1 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 2 Breaking Anxiety’s Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the AWSA 2020 Best Christian Living Book First Place, the first place winner for the Best Christian Living Book, the 2020 Carolina Christian Writer’s Conference Contest winner for nonfiction, and winner of the 2021 Christian Literary Award’s Reader’s Choice Award in all four categories for which it was nominated (Non-Fiction Victorious Living, Christian Living Day By Day, Inspirational Breaking Free and Testimonial Justified by Grace categories.)

In this special episode we go behind the scenes with memoirist Deepa Paul, essayist, cookbook author Gina Beach, and novelist Daisy Buchanan and talk about the two things that keep them going: the passion behind the work, and the practice that makes the work possible. From an essay that no editor wanted to a Women's Prize-longlisted memoir, a personal research rabbit hole that became a four-year book project, and the journey from idea to novel, this is a personal conversation with three writers about about why they write the things they write — and what kept them going. You'll learn Why an essay no editor wanted a decade ago turned out not to be an essay at all. How to break a book into tasks small enough to finish inside a single hour. The case for treating your own interior life as seriously as any grand subject. How a rabbit hole of personal research turned into a four-year book project. Why the hardest part of self-publishing has nothing to do with production. When procrastination is doing useful work, and when it's just filling the gaps. What changes in your writing once you stop trying to get it right. A reason to stop measuring a writing session by its word count. How sitting alongside other writers quietly rearranges your sense of your own work. The tidal metaphor that makes a bad writing day easier to let go of.

This week, Pastor John dives into the third chapter of Ruth, exploring what it means to keep trusting God while we wait for his promises to unfold. He highlights how Ruth takes a courageous step of faith by approaching Boaz at the threshing floor, showing us that daring to hope often requires moving forward even when we don't have all the answers yet. Pastor John reminds us that just because we don't see the full resolution to our struggles immediately doesn't mean God isn't at work. Just as Ruth experiences a partial provision and still has questions about the future, we are encouraged to remain faithful in the small, daily tasks God gives us. He emphasizes that we can find peace by trusting in God's character, knowing that he is writing our story and providing for our needs even in the middle of the waiting.

Tamar: Daring to trust God's big plan for the world - Gen 38:24-30, Matthew 1:1-3aWei-Han KuanRidley College Chapel Sermon (Semester 2/Week 5/Tuesday 2026)

What happens when too much goes unsaid at work? The conversations we avoid don't simply disappear. Over time, unspoken concerns can become resentment, erode trust, and cause people to disengage from their colleagues and their work. Even when no one is openly arguing, unresolved tension can quietly shape how a team communicates, collaborates, and makes decisions. The long-term costs are even more significant - and frequently reflected in lost productivity, personnel, and revenue. In fact, in a Crucial Learnings study of 1,000 employees across various organizations and industries, 33% shared that leaving things unsaid at work cost their organization at least $25,000. Another 19% shared that leaving things unsaid at work cost their organization a staggering $50,000 or more.  In this episode, I'm exploring the hidden emotional and organizational costs of leaving important things unsaid. We will examine why high-performing, “nice” teams can be especially prone to conflict avoidance, how much energy people expend working around unresolved issues, and how a daring conversation is very different from an aggressive confrontation. Daring conversations aren't about being harsh or creating unnecessary conflict - they're about addressing what matters with honesty, courage, curiosity, and respect - in order to work toward a common goal and shared vision.  I also share a simple way to begin saying the thing that needs to be said, even if you don't have the perfect words. If unresolved tension or avoided conversations are affecting your leadership or your team, this is work I support through executive coaching and customized leadership development for teams. Together, we can build the trust, communication skills, and shared practices needed to address hard things before they become costly problems.

Ann was in her late eighties when her adult granddaughter asked, “Grandma, what was the very best time in your life? Ann was one of 10 kids born to Norwegian immigrants who arrived at Ellis Island and settled on the North Dakota prairie. She came from tough stock and was raised in the kind of circumstances where you either made do — or you did without.She and her husband briefly moved to Seattle during World War 2. At that time, Ann was a real-life Rosie the Riveter, working as a riveter in a big city factory to support the war.She was also a cook for cowboys on the open range on a large ranch. Her husband Olaf helped manage the ranch, and Ann hauled water and cooked hearty meals over an open fire with a baby on her hip.  Not one to stay home and bake cookies, Ann was an office manager in their small hometown when they returned to raise their daughters — an astonishing feat for a woman and mother in the 1950s. Romans 14:8 says, “If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.” And as for the very best time in Ann's life? “Well,” Ann replied, “I think the very best time in my life was my early 40s, when I learned I could have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.”Travel. Adventure. Daring feats on the dusty prairie and the factory floor. Ann was a woman who had truly lived — and her best adventure of all was taking her relationship with the Lord to the next level. Live as if living for the Lord, and whether you live or die, you'll know you have eternity in heaven to look forward to by God's grace. That's living in a Jesus state of mind.Let's pray. Lord, thank you for men and women who inspire us to live our lives for you. May we grow and thrive in their light — reaching for you as we learn by their example. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

Bob Zimmerman highlights several developments in space, starting with the startup Catalyst's daring mission to rescue the decaying Swift space telescope. Despite thruster failures, engineers are attempting to use the remaining hardware to move the telescope's orbit. Zimmerman also discusses a Falcon 9 upper stage that impacted the moon, providing valuable spectroscopic data. Good news arrives from Voyager 2, which underwent a "big bang" power reconfiguration to extend its life to at least 2027. On Pluto, new analysis of Sputnik Planitia suggests the planet is geologically active, featuring melting nitrogen underneath its frozen surface. Regarding corporate updates, Blue Origin has identified an oxygen valve failure as the cause of a recent engine explosion, while SpaceX prepares for an orbital Starship flight this month. Finally, Zimmerman reviews the struggles of commercial spaceports in New Zealand and the UK. (5)

John Fortunato joins us for a wildly unfiltered episode that somehow manages to cover everything from grassroots drifting and project cars to YouTube, gaming, and life. We talk about what keeps drifting fun, building cars your own way instead of following the crowd, and why figuring things out yourself is still part of the experience. Along the way, the conversation takes a few unexpected turns—including some personal stories and reflections that made this one a little deeper than we planned.

Kim Svoboda is the founder of Aspiration Catalyst and author of BOLD Leadership: The Adventure of Building Excuse-Proof, Goal-Crushing Teams. Kim argues that leadership isn't about position, power, or title. It's about creating a vision others believe in while leading in a way that aligns with your values. Too many leaders achieve external success without ever asking whether the life they're building reflects what matters most. In this conversation, Kim shares how a simple values exercise exposed the gap between the leader she wanted to be and the life she was actually living. She explains how that experience became the foundation for her BOLD framework (Brilliant vision, Oneness, Lighthouse leadership, Daring drive), why intentional leadership starts with knowing what you stand for, and how leaders create stronger cultures by serving as a lighthouse for others rather than simply driving results. If success looks good on paper but feels disconnected from what matters most, this conversation is a practical reminder that leadership begins with leading yourself first.

"Get 80% of the data and information that you need to make a solid decision, and then go. The next 20% isn't really going to matter that much." "When you're tolerating behavior that isn't in alignment with the goals that you have, it is soul crushing for teams." "Sometimes your top performer, if they don't have the right cultural and values piece, is actually hurting you more than they're helping." "What do you truly have control over? I like people to just focus on what you have agency over and start there." "I actually did take a step back and spent time really getting clear on what it was that I wanted. And I don't think that most people do that." "Every relationship we have starts with trust." "I think it's to treat others the way that they wish to be treated."

The Roof Man: McDonald's Rooftop Heists, a Daring Prison Escape, and Living Inside Toys "R" Us | Ol' Dirty Basement PodcastIn this Ol' Dirty Basement Podcast episode, the hosts discuss Jeffrey Allen Manchester, aka the “Roof Man,” whose Army 82nd Airborne training and McDonald's management experience helped him commit a string of late-1990s rooftop break-ins and morning armed robberies at McDonald's across multiple states, often locking employees in walk-in freezers and calling police to free them. After being caught in North Carolina in 2000 and sentenced to 45 years, he executed a bold 2004 escape by hiding under a delivery truck. Instead of fleeing far, he secretly lived for months inside a Charlotte Toys "R" Us and later created a hidden room in an abandoned Circuit City next door, built surveillance with baby monitors, and planned a post-Christmas Toys "R" Us robbery. He was identified, attempted to destroy dental records, and was arrested in January 2005, receiving a 40-year sentence with release expected in 2036, after later escape attempts in 2009 and 2017.00:00 Podcast Cold Open00:21 Holiday Rain Talk00:34 Mandalorian and He Man01:09 Meet the Roof Man01:46 Urban Dictionary Detour02:37 Manchester Origins05:18 Army to Civilian Struggles09:21 McDonalds Roof Robberies11:06 How He Pulled It Off17:25 Marker18:01 Caught and Sentenced22:16 Prison Escape Masterplan26:52 Toys R Us Hideout30:09 Mall Memories and Cameras36:15 Church Alias and New Life38:08 Hiding in Plain Sight39:27 Holiday Heist Setup41:01 Circuit City Nostalgia43:32 Living Under the Stairs46:03 Day After Christmas Robbery46:51 Lair Discovered and Arrest52:07 Breaking Down the Mistakes57:54 Sentencing and Parole Math59:35 McDonalds Breakfast Tangent01:06:17 Shrinkage and Inventory Gaps01:09:04 Wrap Up and Next Pick

We mogen hier niet eens zijn. En het kan gevaarlijk zijn."En: "Bram, are you sure this is a good idea? We're not even allowed to be here. And it can be dangerous."Nl: Haar stem klonk twijfelend, maar Bram was al bezig naar een open raam te kijken.En: Her voice sounded doubtful, but Bram was already busy looking at an open window.Nl: "Kom op, Iris. Denk aan de hoge cijfers en de bewondering van de klas. Het wordt legendarisch!"En: "Come on, Iris. Think of the high grades and the admiration of the class. It will be legendary!"Nl: Bram klom voorzichtig naar binnen en stak zijn hand uit naar Iris.En: Bram carefully climbed inside and reached out his hand to Iris.Nl: Met enige aarzeling nam Iris zijn hand.En: With some hesitation, Iris took his hand.Nl: "Ik hoop echt dat dit het waard is," mompelde ze terwijl ze hem volgde naar binnen.En: "I really hope this is worth it," she muttered as she followed him inside.Nl: De loods was precies wat ze verwachtten: oude kratten, spinnenwebben overal en zonnestralen die door de kapotte ramen vielen.En: The warehouse was exactly what they expected: old crates, cobwebs everywhere, and sunrays falling through the broken windows.Nl: Binnen zagen ze ineens iets verrassends.En: Inside, they suddenly saw something surprising.Nl: Oude schilderijen en beelden bedekt met stof, maar in verrassend goede staat.En: Old paintings and sculptures covered with dust, but in surprisingly good condition.Nl: "Dit is het, Iris!" zei Bram met een brede glimlach.En: "This is it, Iris!" said Bram with a broad smile.Nl: "Een geschiedenisproject over verloren kunst.

Maar misschien kunnen we de volgende keer een veiliger plek kiezen?" zei ze, met een zacht glimlachje.En: "I'm glad we tried something new. But maybe next time, we can choose a safer place?" she said, with a soft smile.Nl: Bram knikte.En: Bram nodded.Nl: "En ik zal proberen de regels een beetje meer te respecteren."En: "And I'll try to respect the rules a bit more."Nl: Zo leerden ze beiden iets essentieels: avontuur kan mooi zijn, maar voorzichtigheid en creativiteit moeten hand in hand gaan.En: Thus, they both learned something essential: adventure can be wonderful, but caution and creativity must go hand in hand.

  Patrick K. O'Donnell, guest author, describes how, in early 1864, the Union launched the Dahlgren Raid, a daring "decapitation raid" aimed at infiltrating Richmond to burn the city and kill or capture Jefferson Davis. Led by Ulric Dahlgren and General Kilpatrick, the mission disintegrated in the Richmond suburbs, and Dahlgren was killed. Orders found on his body—initially dismissed as a Southern plant but later proven authentic through forensic analysis—sparked massive controversy over "ungentlemanly warfare." While the Union struggled with these covert actions, the Confederacy developed a highly sophisticated Secret Service. This shadow organization utilized a signal corps for coded telegraphy and conducted influence operations in the North, plying Democratic editors with gold to write defeatist stories about the "forever war." These agents even helped draft the 1864 Democratic campaign platform, which called for an armistice. Amidst this shadow war, the author Herman Melville embedded with the Union's Second Massachusetts Cavalry to observe Mosby's Rangers. Melville's subsequent poetry captured the terror Mosby inspired as his men lurked in the shadows of "Mosby's Confederacy." By this point, Mosby's force had mushroomed into multiple companies totaling nearly 1,800 men, gaining fame for daring coups like kidnapping a Union general from his encampment. This segment underscores the integration of partisan activity and political subversion used to undermine the federal government's credibility. The Unvanquished (3)

frågade han med skeptiska ögon.En: he asked with skeptical eyes.Sv: Linnea kände ett hugg av osäkerhet men förberedde sig att försvara sin idé.En: Linnea felt a pang of uncertainty but prepared to defend her idea.Sv: Men innan hon hann stiga fram, pekade en turist på skyltfönstret och sa: "Det här är fantastiskt!"En: But before she could step forward, a tourist pointed at the window display and said, "This is fantastic!"Sv: Där stod Hjalmar, stirrande på den lyckliga turistskaran som köpte souvenirer i rask takt.En: There stood Hjalmar, staring at the happy crowd of tourists buying souvenirs at a fast pace.Sv: Han vände sig till Linnea och nickade bekräftande.En: He turned to Linnea and nodded approvingly.Sv: "Det verkar som om du hade rätt, Linnea.En: "It seems you were right, Linnea.Sv: Ditt modiga val har givit resultat," sa han.En: Your bold choice has paid off," he said.Sv: Hjalmar såg på henne med nya ögon och gav henne befordran hon längtat efter.En: Hjalmar looked at her with new eyes and gave her the promotion she had longed for.Sv: Linnea var överlycklig.En: Linnea was overjoyed.Sv: Hon hade inte bara säkerställt pengar för sin studio, utan också lärt sig värdet av att tro på sig själv och sina idéer.En: She had not only secured money for her studio but also learned the value of believing in herself and her ideas.Sv: Axel, som observerat detta hela tiden, närmade sig henne och sa tyst: "Du inspirerade mig.En: Axel, who had observed this the whole time, approached her and quietly said, "You inspired me.Sv: Kanske finns det plats för mer konst hos oss båda."En: Maybe there's room for more art with both of us."Sv: Med befordran och nyfunnen beslutsamhet, fortsatte Linnea och Axel att ge liv åt butiken i Gamla Stan, omgivna av de historiska stenraderna som ekade av deras drömmar och framtidsvisioner.En: With the promotion and newfound determination, Linnea and Axel continued to breathe life into the shop in Gamla Stan, surrounded by the historic stone rows that echoed with their dreams and visions for the future.

What if one of the most powerful medicines for longevity, resilience, happiness, cognitive health, and disease prevention wasn't found in a supplement, a prescription, or a cutting-edge biohack—but in the people around you? In this powerful solo episode, Darin Olien dives into one of the most overlooked health crises of our time: loneliness. Drawing from the landmark 85-year Harvard Adult Development Study, the U.S. Surgeon General's loneliness epidemic report, Blue Zones research, neuroscience, and evolutionary biology, Darin reveals why meaningful human connection may be one of the strongest predictors of health and longevity ever discovered. From oxytocin, cortisol, inflammation, vagal tone, and nervous system regulation to suburban design, social media, and the collapse of community structures, Darin exposes the hidden biological costs of isolation—and offers a practical roadmap for rebuilding the human connections we were biologically designed to need.     What You'll Learn The stunning findings from Harvard's 85-year Adult Development Study Why relationships outperform wealth, genetics, diet, and exercise as predictors of well-being How loneliness increases the risk of premature death, dementia, heart disease, and stroke Why social isolation creates measurable biological stress responses The role of oxytocin in lowering inflammation and regulating stress How human connection affects the autonomic nervous system Why Blue Zone communities consistently prioritize social connection The biological difference between digital interaction and real human presence How modern architecture and technology contribute to loneliness Why community is a biological necessity—not a luxury Practical ways to rebuild meaningful relationships today How connection may be one of the most powerful health interventions available   Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:33 – Sponsor: Bite Toothpaste and reducing plastic waste 00:02:49 – The most powerful health study ever conducted 00:03:01 – Harvard follows 724 people for 85 years 00:03:40 – The surprising predictor of a long, healthy life 00:04:00 – Why relationships beat wealth, genetics, diet, and exercise 00:04:42 – The Surgeon General's loneliness epidemic warning 00:05:19 – Introducing the medicine you're not taking 00:05:53 – The health benefits of genuine community 00:06:21 – The fatal convenience of modern life 00:06:47 – Replacing human connection with digital connection 00:07:12 – Why modern convenience may be creating isolation 00:07:23 – Social isolation and premature mortality 00:08:02 – Loneliness and the equivalent of smoking 15 cigarettes a day 00:08:43 – Increased risks of heart disease, stroke, and dementia 00:09:10 – Why loneliness is a biological threat 00:09:52 – The science behind social isolation 00:10:11 – Sponsor: Manna Vitality 00:12:06 – Humans as the most socially dependent species 00:12:53 – Why connection regulates the nervous system 00:13:29 – The autonomic nervous system and social safety 00:13:56 – The brain's constant question: Am I safe?

Human connection isn't a luxury, a personality trait, or a nice bonus when life slows down. It is biology. It is medicine. And in a world increasingly designed for isolation, rebuilding community may be one of the most important health decisions we ever make."     Bibliography/Sources: Primary Research — Loneliness, Social Isolation & Health Associated Press.

We all have gaps in our leadership skills and capabilities that can be tough to spot on our own. But once seen, we cannot unsee these gaps, and we know we must take responsibility for our own growth and development. In this episode, I'm digging into Brené Brown's framework of Armored Leadership versus Daring Leadership from her book Strong Ground, with the hope that you will be able to spot some of your gaps in your leadership habits. I break down the 11 aspects of armored leadership, those self-protective behaviors that feel like safety but actually keep us stuck, and explore what shifts when you choose daring leadership instead: vulnerability, authenticity, and real growth.  We talk about what drives armored leadership in the first place, from scarcity mindset and social conditioning to past trauma, and how those patterns show up in organizational culture without us even realizing it. Then we flip the lens to daring leadership, where leading proactively and strategically rather than reactively becomes possible. We talk about values in leadership, the role of failure, and how building a belonging culture starts with the willingness to be vulnerable as a leader. This is leadership development that meets you where you actually are, for better or worse. This is an invitation to take an honest look at where armor and your need for self-protection are costing you.

What if the smallest act of vulnerability… could completely change someone's life? In this deeply heartfelt solo episode, Darin explores a simple but radically transformative idea: go first. In a world where people are more digitally connected yet emotionally isolated than ever before, Darin breaks down the neuroscience, psychology, and human power behind making eye contact, giving genuine compliments, expressing appreciation, and risking authentic connection. From oxytocin and nervous system regulation to loneliness research and real-life stories of spontaneous connection with strangers, this episode is a reminder that healing doesn't always begin in a therapist's office—it can begin in a coffee shop, a grocery line, or a brief moment where one human being chooses to truly see another.     What You'll Learn Why modern society is experiencing a crisis of disconnection and loneliness The hidden psychological cost of avoiding vulnerability Why brief positive interactions with strangers improve mental health The neuroscience behind social rejection and fear of connection How oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin are activated through authentic interaction Why vulnerability is a trainable "muscle" that rewires your nervous system The power of eye contact, compliments, and acknowledgment Why meaningful human interaction lowers stress and inflammation How small moments of courage create ripple effects for others Practical ways to "go first" and create more connection every day Chapters 00:00:32 – Sponsor: Fatty15 and the science of cellular health 00:01:03 – C15:0, mitochondrial function, and healthy aging 00:02:12 – Why many people may be deficient in C15 00:03:19 – "Celebrate science": discovering new essential fatty acids 00:04:13 – Opening reflection: noticing strangers in everyday life 00:04:52 – The moment we stop ourselves from speaking 00:05:10 – How many genuine moments do we suppress every day? 00:05:33 – Why these "tiny swallowed moments" matter deeply 00:06:02 – Humanity starving for real human connection 00:06:23 – "I see you.
