Full Transcript Below: God Working in Us By Lauren Fletcher Bible Reading: “We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.” - Romans 5:3-5 Maybe what God is doing is working in you, I told my friend. I had run out of ideas. I didn’t know what to suggest. Her circumstances were not easy, and I could hear the frustration in her voice and tears on the other side of the phone. God must have a plan right now. In a season where she didn’t know what God was doing, I was sure He was doing something. I had heard this idea at church recently, that during challenging circumstances, God works in us. He works things out in us and through us. Whenever I go through trials or hard times, Romans 5:3-5 have been my favorite verses. It says that when we go through trials, it develops within us endurance and strength of character. There is something good that can come out of our suffering. One time, in particular, I can remember these verses speaking to me. During quarantine, sickness hit our home. At the same time, our air conditioner stopped working (it was late summer). I got a painful bite from what I guessed to be a horsefly. Then, our ceiling started leaking due to a storm. Surprisingly, at that point, I took it in stride, because so many things had been happening. I found my strength in the Word, in God. I turned to my Bible and read this passage from Romans aloud. If nothing else, I could trust that there is a purpose behind the hard things that happen. God is still doing something. He can work in us. Not only does God develop endurance and strength of character in us, but this passage in Romans says that “… character strengthens our confident hope of salvation” (Romans 5:4). This encourages my heart. Paul continues, “And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.” There is a purpose for our struggles, and we are reminded that our loving God is trustworthy. In this time of trial, my friend has also said that God is refining her. In 1 Peter, there is a passage that says, “These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world” (1 Peter 1:7). There have been many moments in my life that I haven’t understood, but the changes within myself have been worth it. His saving me and growing me brought me to the closeness I have with God and a better understanding of the Gospel. Intersecting Faith & Life: Another passage to lean on during hard times is James 1:2-4: “Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.” How can the passages in Romans and in James encourage you during challenging times? Are you going through a hard time right now? Let His Word give you hope. Lord, Thank You that we always have hope in You. Thank You that there’s always a purpose for our suffering and that You are working something out in us. Thank You for what You are developing in our hearts. Lord, draw near to and comfort those who are suffering right now. In Jesus’s name, Amen.

In our second conversation, with my father-in-law and renowned author, John Bevere, he confronts the spiritual roots shaping modern relationships. We explore how sin nature influences attraction, why God's design for marriage clashes with today's dating culture, and how compromise—often mistaken for chemistry—can quietly cost us covenant.Drawing from biblical truth and traditional Jewish courtship, John challenges common dating patterns and unpacks why so many Christian women (and men) find themselves choosing the wrong partners again and again. This episode calls listeners to move from emotion-led decisions to discernment rooted in truth.Pray while you wait with Future Husband, Present Prayers and trust God with your love story with the Dear Future Husband Prayer Journal.

Do you find yourself being the one everyone relies on — the responsible one, the capable one, the one who holds everything together? If you’re overly responsible, rest can start to feel impractical, joy gets postponed, and peace becomes something you hope to get to later — after everything else is taken care of. In today’s episode, Bonnie shares a deeply personal story about laying down over-responsibility. Through Scripture, neuroscience, and soul care, this episode gently invites you to make space for peace and joy — not by doing more, but by letting go.This episode will help you recognize how over-responsibility shapes your inner life and offer a compassionate path toward rest, safety, and renewal — without pressure or obligation.Key TakeawaysWhy being overly responsible often leaves little room for rest and joy
How Jesus’ invitation to “lay down your nets” can lead to peace instead of pressure
Why chronic responsibility keeps the nervous system on alert — even during good One soul care practice to help you release stress & renew peace & joyBreath Prayer
Inhale: I lay down my netsExhale: I follow You in peaceToday's Scripture:“Then Jesus said to them, ‘Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.’
Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.”

Dear friends,Fathers are so important in life, even in this anti-patriarchal age. For fatherhood is derived from God the Father. He is the provider and protector of us all, who knows our needs before we even ask. He is not far from us, and he is open to our prayers.This is an important point in Paul's logic as he attacks the inconsistency and incoherence of Athenian idolatry.Yours,PhillipFreely available, supported by generosity.If you enjoy Two Ways News, why not lend us a hand?

John 13:31-35,“31 When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him. 32 If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and glorify him at once. 33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You will seek me, and just as I said to the Jews, so now I also say to you, ‘Where I am going you cannot come.' 34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. 35 By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”“Can I ask you something? Is, is this heaven?” And Ray said, “No, it's Iowa.”That was one of my favorite parts of a book I wrote when I was a little kid. This is a true story. When I was a kid, I had this small blank notebook and I wanted to write a book in it, so I wrote a story about man in Iowa who had a big cornfield in his backyard, but he mowed part of it down to build a baseball field, and a bunch of old-timey baseball ghosts came out there and played ball together. I titled the book “Field of Dreams” — that's what kids did in the early 90s before all the screens! They plagiarized.Y'all ever heard of the movie Field of Dreams? It came out in 1989, starred Kevin Costner. Great movie. And really one of my favorite parts in the movie is the scene at the end, when Ray, the main character, reunites with his dad. His dad had died years before, but his ghost had come back to play ball. They're standing on the baseball field, and his dad asks him: “Is this heaven?” And of course the answer is No — everybody watching the movie knows the answer is No. But what's great about Ray's answer is that he doesn't just say it's not heaven, he says it's Iowa. He tells him where they are.And that's the same thing Jesus is doing for his disciples at the end of John 13.Jesus is telling his disciples where they are, and it's a turning point in the Gospel of John — and really, it's a turning point in the history of the world.And what I'd like to do this morning is unpack one sentence for you that captures the essence of what Jesus is doing. It's a simple sentence. Goes like this: Jesus is giving his disciples a new commandment for a new location. A new commandment for a new location. That's what I want to show you in this passage, which means I'm going try to answer two questions. First, What is the new location? And second, what is the new commandment? That's the outline.1. What is the new location?Let's start here with the setting. Longest Thursday EverIn verse 31, we are still on that same Thursday night that started in verse 1. In fact, for most of this year in the Gospel of John — through chapter 18 — we're gonna be in this same Thursday night. It was the longest Thursday night ever.We saw at the start of this chapter that Jesus washed his disciples' feet; then he explained the meaning of why he did that; then last week we saw the betrayal and exit of Judas. And that's a big deal for this setting.John wants us to know that who is in the room matters for what Jesus is about to say.Think about this: from verse 1 through verse 30, it has been Jesus and his twelve disciples, but then after verse 30 the twelve become eleven because Judas leaves. And John puts an emphasis on this. He tells us:Verse 27: after Satan entered Judas, Jesus says to him: “What you are going to do, do quickly.”Then verse 30, “After receiving the morsel of bread, [Judas] immediately went out.”Then verse 31 starts, “When he had gone out.”John wants to be clear that Judas is gone, which means now it's only Jesus and his true disciples. His Best FriendsAnd we're gonna get to the big picture, but before we do, I think it's good to slow down for a minute and try to be in this room, on this Thursday night. I agree with one author who has said:“While [Jesus's] universal motives in his passion and death are stressed by theologians, his immediate human motives are not well explored. (Podles, 79)Those “immediate human motives” have to do with the fact that, after verse 30, the men Jesus is with are his real friends. Now that Judas is gone, Jesus is with the men he loved to the uttermost — and they're men who love him. Some have said that the closest analogy to the relational dynamic here is a military comradeship.This is a band of brothers, and Jesus is their captain. And I think that's a good perspective to have as we look at what Jesus says.Maternal-Like CareJesus's tone changes in verse 31, and what drives him is care. Jesus cares for his disciples, for his real friends, and he shows that care by giving them advance knowledge of what's about to happen — because Jesus knows it's not going to be easy. This actually reminds me of my mom (she just celebrated her birthday this past week, and I thank God for her). But one thing I appreciate about my mom (now) is that, when I was a kid and had a doctor's appointment, she never told me I would not get a shot. I remember that's what I'd always ask her — we'd be on the way to the doctor's office, and I'd be sweating bullets — Mom, am I getting a shot? And of course, I wanted her to say No. She never said No. I always thought if I was around a doctor I might get a shot.It was a brilliant parenting move: because my mom would have rather me be surprised by relief than shocked by false hope — and it taught me to trust her. And Jesus is doing something similar here. His best friends are about to step into a new location and Jesus wants to prepare them. So he says: You are about to be in a world where I am not, and I won't be here for the sake of glory.That's the new location — it's not a new literal place; it's not a different geography. It's a new location in the history of redemption: the followers of Jesus are about to live in a world where Jesus is physically absent — but he's physically absent for the sake of glory.Over the next four chapters — what's called the Farewell Discourse — this is main idea that Jesus explains: he's physically absent, yet presently glorified.Physically AbsentHe starts this in verse 31, but I want you to see the absent part first in verse 33.And this is one I want everybody to see. So help me out, everybody find Chapter 13, verse 33. Verse 33:“Little children” In the original this is just the single word “children,” but it's a term of endearment and affection. I think a better translation is to say “Dear children.” Jesus is leaning into their closeness. Verse 33:Dear children, yet a little while I am with you. You will seek me, and just as I said to the Jews, so now I also say to you, ‘Where I am going you cannot come.'Jesus has said this twice already to the unbelieving crowds: John 7:34,“You will search for me but not find me. And you cannot go where I am going.”John 8:21“I am going away. You will search for me but will die in your sin. You cannot come where I am going.”So Jesus has said this to the crowds, now he's saying it to his closest friends. And what's he talking about? Where is he going?Track with me here: Jesus is talking about the whole gospel event — his being lifted up! This is his cross, his resurrection, his return to the Father. Jesus started talking about this as early as Chapter 2! He has said he will die and be raised and ascend to the Father's right hand — it's just that now this is not something in the future, but it's finally unfolding. It is in motion!And only Jesus can do this. Only Jesus can go there.Which means he won't be with his disciples any longer. He's leaving them. And that means his disciples are about to live in a world where Jesus is physically absent.And that could be devastating, right? It could be the end of the whole thing.Are they on the verge of a tragedy here? Is this a total loss? Is this a defeat? Because it sounds like it is! It will certainly look like it is tomorrow, on Friday.But Jesus is telling them in advance because he wants to make sure they know what his leaving is truly about: It's just the opposite of defeat. It's about triumph. Jesus GlorifiedThat's what Jesus is saying in verses 31–32. I'm gonna read these verses again, and just count how many times Jesus mentions “glory.”Verse 31:When [Judas] had gone out, Jesus said, “Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him. If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and glorify him at once.Five times! (Repetition means emphasis — the emphasis is glory.) This is how we should think about Jesus leaving, according to Jesus! That is what he says it means.That's really why we call it Good Friday — because that's how Jesus taught us to think about his death. …A friend and I were talking recently about why we call the day that Jesus was crucified “Good Friday” — because that's kinda ‘inside baseball.' It doesn't really make sense to people who are less familiar with the gospel. Shouldn't we call it Horrible Friday? Well, yes, if we look at it through a microscope, but see, Jesus teaches us to see the whole thing altogether.And when we do, we see that Jesus's lowest moment was when his highest glory began to unfold … there is no death without resurrection; there is no resurrection apart from death, and his enthronement is the final word. All of that is the Son of Man being glorified and God being glorified in him!And that is the ultimate reason the followers of Jesus live in a world where Jesus is physically absent.And this matters for us now! What Jesus is saying in John 13 is as relevant for us this morning as it was when these eleven disciples first heard it, because we live in that same world. This new location for the eleven is the only location we've ever known: a world where Jesus is physically absent, yet presently glorified.So then how do we live in this world? Jesus tells us where we are. It's not heaven. But how does he want us to live in this new location?Well, he gives us a new commandment — a new commandment for the new location.This is the second part of the sermon.2. What is the new commandment?And the answer here is about as straightforward as it gets. Everybody look at verse 34, and help me fill in the blank. Verse 34: “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another …”Isn't that amazing? Here we are, in this new location within redemptive history, and the first thing Jesus tells us about how he wants us to live in this world is that we're to love one another.And this is amazing, but I'm concerned that we could be either not very impressed by this or confused by it. We either hear the word “love” and it doesn't really move us, or we hear the word “love” and think it means something different from what Jesus means. This is a modern problem we face because we live in a society that has so diluted the meaning of love. My dad says that “love” is the most over-used, under-used word in the English language, and he's right. And that's a complexity! Jesus has left us in a world where he is physically absent, he told us to love one another, but how do we know what love is? So did Jesus prepare us for that?Yeah, he did. Look at the whole of verse 34. Verse 34 again:“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.”Jesus reports himself here, tells us twice to love one another, because he knows we need help understanding what love really is!And so he tells us, once and for all! If you want to know what love is, he says, look at me! Love one another just as I have loved you!This is important. Listen: We learn from Jesus how to love one another.So how does that look?How does Jesus-like love actually look in real life?In closing, I want to tell you three things our love must be if it's Jesus-like love.If we will love one another like Jesus loves us, it means 1. Our love will be particular.I want to remind you that the love Jesus is talking about here is love that his disciples have for one another. This is not the common benevolence that we should have for all peoples everywhere. We call that neighbor-love, and it's commanded. We seek everybody's ultimate good in God.That's what we mean when we say we seek the good of the Twin Cities. We love these cities — we're not giving up on the cities. We want everybody in these cities to know God. But there is a particular kind of love that we have for our fellow blood-bought brothers and sisters in the family of God. And by “particular,” I don't mean stingy, I mean focused. This is family-love. There's neighbor-love, but this is family-love. That's what covenant membership intends to clarify: of all the people (and even all the Christians), in these cities, of whom do we have most assurance that they are truly in Christ? Well, it's those whose profession of faith we have corporately affirmed — it's our covenant members. So when Jesus commands us to love one another, we should hear that command as starting here, first. This is love for a particular people — the household of faith, our brothers and sisters in Christ. If we will love one another like Jesus loves us, it means 2. Our love will be sacrificial. Jesus's love for us meant, of course, the ultimate sacrifice — he went to the cross to bear the weight of our sin; he suffered the wrath of God in our place. That was the ultimate sacrifice, but it's not where his sacrifice started. Jesus's entire life was a sacrifice — the very fact that he became a man tells us that. Jesus was continually spending and being spent for us. It was constant cost.But think with me here … just because something has a cost, it doesn't mean it's sacrifice. What makes a cost a sacrifice? It's when the pain of the cost is considered worth the good of the goal. The pain of the cost is worth the good of the goal.This definition of sacrifice applies to a lot of things, big and small.This is why you get up early in the morning to read your Bible. You consider the pain of losing 30 minutes of sleep is worth being shaped by the word of God. The good of the goal is worth the pain of the cost.So what good for Jesus made his pain worth it?Well, it was not that the people he loves feel better about themselves. That's how a lot of people in our society confuse the meaning of love. They think love is mainly therapeutic — it's about making people feel better. But that's not what Jesus was aiming for. Now of course Jesus cares about our suffering — he binds up the brokenhearted! (Psalm 147:3) — but listen: his ultimate aim is not our transient ease … it's our everlasting joy in God!The cost was worth it for Jesus because he wants to bring people to God — that's the purpose of his love. That's the good of his goal. He wants his disciples to be happy in all that God is for them — because that is what magnifies the glory of God and satisfies the human soul. Real love ultimately wants the beloved to know God, and sacrificial love seeks that at a cost. Because the cost is worth it.Last point: If we will love one another like Jesus loves us, it means 3. Our love will be identifiable.This is verse 35. Jesus says:“By this” — by what? By loving one another the way Jesus loves us — “By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”Jesus is saying that everybody — all people — will be able to recognize us as the people of Jesus because of how we love one another. People will see our love here and say, They must be Jesus-people. Does it surprise us that Jesus says this? Because there are many marks of a Christian! The apostle Paul talks about eight other fruits of the Spirit. He tells us that faith and hope also abide! They're important too! There's a lot of important stuff.And yet, the primary, public identity marker that we belong to Jesus is love.Our love for one another is what speaks the loudest in this new location … in this world — in what seems to be an ever-darkening world — Hey, nobody is looking around here asking, “Is this heaven?”Everybody knows this is not heaven. But our love for one another is meant to be a glimpse of heaven. We live in a world where Jesus is physically absent, but he is spiritually present through his church. And his glory shines through our love for one another. And that's what brings us to the table.The TableI want to be clear that the love Jesus commands is not a love that we ourselves can manufacture, it's actually the overflow of his love for us. John writes later in 1 John 4:19, “We love because he first loved us.” Paul says, “God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit he's given to us” and this is love that God has shown us in the cross (Romans 5:5, 8). And here at the Table we rest in his love.If you trust in Jesus Christ, if you have known the love of God, I invite you to eat and drink with us this morning with thankful hearts.

What could possibly be so important?   We look forward to worshipping with you!

Ephesians 5:1-21Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. 2 And walk in love, asChrist also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrificeto God for a sweet-smelling aroma.Today we are looking at Ephesians 5:1-2, where the Apostle Paul gives us theclear admonition to walk in love. Also in in these two verses, Paul also givesus several reasons why we should walk in love. First, he tells us in verse 1 to“be imitators of God as dear children.” As the children of God, we areto be reflectors of who He is. God is love, and therefore we should reflectthat love—the love God has for us and for the world around us. Themost quoted verse in the Bible, one we all know so well, tells us: “For Godso loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son.” God is a lovingGod, and because He is love, He is also a God who gives. As His children, weare called to love and to give of ourselves sacrificially for His glory. Ilove the phrase Paul uses here, “as dear children.” Sometranslations say, “as beloved children.” Remember, at least twicein the Gospel of Matthew, the Father speaks from heaven and declares His lovefor His Son. At the baptism of Jesus in Matthew chapter 3, and again on theMount of Transfiguration in Matthew chapter 17, God says, “This is Mybeloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Nowthink about this—we too are His beloved children. 1 John 3:1–3, tells us, “Beholdwhat manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be calledchildren of God.” In Romans chapter 8, we are told that we cry out, “Abba,Father.” We have an intimate, personal relationship with our Father inheaven. Because of that relationship, and as proof of it, we should desire toshow forth His love to the world around us as imitators of God and as Hisbeloved children. Ialso think about what Jesus prayed in John 17:23. He said, “I in them, andYou in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may knowthat You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.”Jesus prayed and said, “Father, just as You have loved Me, You love them.”Can you imagine that? Jesus is the beloved Son of God, and He tells us that theFather loves us in the same way He loves Him. How much does God love you? Heloves you with the same love He has for His beloved Son—whom He gave as asacrifice for the sins of the world. So,we see several reasons here for walking in love. We are children of God. Weshare in His nature, and His nature is love. We are beloved children who desireto please our Father in heaven. We cry out, “Abba, Father.” And then we see athird reason in verse 2: “Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us,an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.” Thisphrase, “a sweet-smelling aroma,” is very meaningful. Our reflection ofChrist's love is pleasing to God—it rises as a sweet fragrance before Him. Inthe book of Leviticus, chapters 1 through 3 describe the three sweet savorofferings: the burnt offering, the meal offering, and the peace offering. Theburnt offering pictures Christ's complete devotion to God. The meal offeringreflects His perfect character. The peace offering shows Christ making peacebetween sinful man and a holy God. Thesin offering and the trespass offering, found in Leviticus chapters 4 and 5,are not sweet savor offerings. Why? Because sin is not sweet or beautiful. Sinis what put Christ on the cross. Sin is what condemned us and would send us toa devil's hell apart from Christ.  Oh,my friend, today let us remember who we are. We are dear children ofGod—beloved children—loved with an unimaginable, unconditional, selfless love.Therefore, let us walk in love as “His beloved children” Godbless you and may you have a wonderful, wonderful day.

In this episode, I sit down with award winning journalist and author Jennifer Wallace, to talk about her new work on mattering—the need to feel seen, valued, and needed. We explore how mattering emerged as a powerful protective factor for kids growing up in high-pressure, achievement-driven environments, and why so many adults today feel lonely, disengaged, or untethered. Jennifer shares the SAID framework—feeling significant, appreciated, invested in, and depended on—and we talk about what this looks like in real life, at home, at work, and in our communities. This conversation is about practical, doable ways to help our kids (and ourselves) feel like we matter—without more pressure, perfection, or performance.I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

Dear boss babe.. if you've ever asked yourself “Why do I keep setting goals and somehow never fully hitting them?” this episode is for you. And let me say this upfront: it's not because you're lazy, undisciplined, or not wanting it badly enough. The real issue is that most of the goals you've been setting were never designed to fit inside your real life — especially if you're a high achiever. In this episode, I'm giving you a real pep talk — the kind I wish someone gave me sooner. I'm sharing what I learned after a year of big wins, big ambition, and a whole lot of emotional whiplash. On the outside, things looked great. Behind the scenes, I was stuck in a cycle of pushing hard, crashing, recovering, and starting over again. I talk about how hustle culture and surface-level manifestation keep high achievers stuck in burnout loops — and why vision boards can start to feel heavy instead of inspiring. When your goals don't honor your energy, your schedule, or your current season of life, they slowly turn into something you avoid… even when you still want them. This episode is about rebuilding your 2026 goals in a way that supports your nervous system, protects your self care, and creates momentum that actually lasts. You don't need to become a different version of yourself to succeed — you need a better structure. Why you're not failing — you're working inside a broken goal system How hustle culture trains high achievers to sprint and crash Why manifestation without structure leads to burnout and guilt How vision boards can disconnect you from your real life The hidden cost of constantly starting and stopping (time, money, momentum) How to set 2026 goals that are achievable, not just impressive Why clarity creates more progress than pressure ever will You don't need more discipline — you need goals that fit your real life Self care isn't something you earn after success, it's what sustains it High achievers don't struggle with dreaming — we struggle with sustainable systems A calm, grounded plan will take you further than hustle ever will Your 2026 vision board works best when it sits on top of real structure I want you to pick one goal you've been avoiding and ask yourself: Does this fit into my real, current life — or just my fantasy vision board life? What would make this goal achievable instead of impressive? What would it look like to give this goal a simple weekly plan? That's where everything starts to change — not with more pressure, but with more clarity. ✨ If this episode resonated, make sure you listen to this week's full episode Episode 134 where I break down how to set goals you'll actually achieve in 2026 and beyond, and how to turn your vision board into something that works in real life.

We read your comments on the college basketball point shaving scandal that broke today, and we laugh at the NFL Insider who got it all VERY wrong.

7:00 HOUR: Two Grand Slam, Dear Jon

1/15/26 - Thursday Touchdown, Tigers vs. Skubal in arbitration, Two Grand Slam, Dear Jon

1-15 Adam and Jordana 11a hour

I went into this interview a little nervous - because let's be honest, Mariana van Zeller is famously serious. She interviews assassins, drug lords, traffickers, and people living in the darkest corners of the world. I was fully prepared for an intense, heavy conversation. Instead… we laughed. A lot. This episode ended up being funny, warm, surprising, and genuinely joyful - while still being jaw-dropping. Mariana shares what it was like moving to Syria right out of college to become a reporter, the surreal moments of being picked up in the middle of the night, blindfolded, and driven somewhere unknown, and an interview where she wasn't allowed to bring a phone and had no idea where she was going. We also talk about the personal side of a life spent taking massive risks - how her husband and family support her completely, how she manages fear, and what it really takes to walk into dangerous spaces with empathy instead of ego. This conversation reminded me that the bravest people aren't hardened - they're human, curious, and often unexpectedly funny. Mariana is all of that and more, and this ended up being one of my favorite interviews I've ever done.Listen to Mariana's Podcast The Hidden Third HEREProduced by Dear MediaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hosted by Steve Nerlich. Well… Cheap Astronomy confirms some mysteries are still mysteries! Dear Cheap Astronomy – Is warp drive looking any more possible? Well, no, insofar as it looks about as possible as it ever did, which is to say, it's probably impossible, but at the same time, it's best to never say never. As we've covered before, the nature of space-time precludes the possibility of faster than light travel simply because light travels as fast as it is possible to travel in space-time.   Dear Cheap Astronomy – What is X-17? X-17 is a mysterious and somewhat hypothetical particle. Somewhat hypothetical means there is a bit of evidence for its existence, although it's more a case of there being evidence of something unusual, rather than definitive evidence of a new particle that does something unusual.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

What do toxic mom groups, 2026 to-do lists, and being spiritually chopped have in common? Absolutely nothing — except they're all on the What We Said Podcast's agenda this week. The girls break down Ashley Tisdale's recent mom-group drama and unpack who's really at fault (and whether she's as innocent as she claims), then shift into new-year reset mode as Jaci shares what's actually helping her step into a clearer, more intentional mindset for 2026. To wrap it all up, Chelsey explains what it means to be “spiritually chopped,” how to spot it, and why you should avoid being it, at all costs!// WHAT WE ARE WEARING/MENTIONING // https://shopmy.us/shop/whatwesaidpodcast SHOP OUR MERCH: https://shop.dearmedia.com/collections/what-we-said !!!

In this episode, Dr. Will Cole sits down with Seatopia co-founder James Arthur to explore the hidden truth about seafood, omega-3s, and what most people don't realize about the fish they're eating. They discuss mercury, microplastics, fish fraud, misleading labels, and why sourcing matters more than “wild-caught.” James explains how regenerative fishing can support both human health and ocean ecosystems, and why clean protein choices are foundational for inflammation, longevity, and sustainability.

The girls are starting the year real chatty, with a Christmas break recap of Chelsey's bold — and very accidental — “bricking” from social media. Spoiler alert: it ended up being the perfect way to free up time and energy for baking, movies, and the things they actually want to lean into this year.
