Board-certified orthopedic foot and ankle surgeon Dr. Matthew Buchanan joins the World XP Podcast to explain what athletes often misunderstand about injury and recovery. We discuss Achilles ruptures, recurring ankle sprains, strength and injury prevention, when rest becomes counterproductive, how doctors determine when an athlete is ready to return to play, and why the right amount of loading can be just as important as protecting an injury. We also get into artificial turf, minimally invasive surgery, young athletes, arthritis, and the mental challenge of a long recovery.If you're enjoying the content, please like, subscribe, and comment!

The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk www.LearningLeader.com The Price of Becoming www.LearningLeader.com/Becoming My guest: Angela Duckworth is a psychologist and professor at the University of Pennsylvania, and a MacArthur "genius" grant recipient. Her book Grit was a #1 New York Times bestseller, and her TED Talk is among the most-watched ever. Her new book is Situated: Find the People and Places That Bring Out Your Best. Key Learnings She almost lost her mom in the Atlantic. Angela took her 87-year-old mom snorkeling miles offshore. Her mom had not swum in decades. Within minutes, she had aspirated water into both lungs and was unconscious. Angela treaded water, held her mom's head up with one arm, and waved the other until help came. Her mom is 91 now and painting. No amount of grit would have saved them. Angela could not have swum her mother to shore. What saved them was changing the situation, which meant getting other people to their side. The situation is the ocean. It's that powerful, and most of us don't know what water we're swimming in. Grit isn't wrong. It's incomplete. Angela hasn't renounced anything. She's expanding it. Effort is what you bring. The situation determines whether that effort compounds or gets swallowed. Angela was a striver, and it worked for a long time. She knew she wasn't the most talented kid, but nobody was going to outwork her. She wanted to make the cheerleading squad without being able to do a split. She wanted a solo in choir while barely able to carry a tune. She worked her way to both. Most people would be surprised how far sheer effort can take them. Then it stopped being enough. To get as far as she actually wanted to go, and to do it sustainably for herself and the people around her, ignoring the situation was a mistake.  The shift: stop making the best of your situation through effort alone, and make the situation better first. "Of all the ways you can change your behavior, willpower is the absolute worst." You can white-knuckle a donut. You just can't do it forever. Resisting works in the moment and reliably leaves people exhausted, which is why it fails on day three. Your urges come from your thoughts. Your thoughts come from your surroundings. Donut, delicious. Then your hand moves. Instead of fighting the urge, ask where the thought came from. The better question: what situation would give me different thoughts? Not "how do I resist," but "where can I be so that the thought never arrives?" Three inputs shape what you think: the people around you, the physical objects within reach, and the place you're in. Situational agency. Angela coined the term. The situation isn't given to you. It's taken. Leon Marchand was already sixth in the world. His parents, both former Olympians, didn't tell him to train harder or wake up earlier. They told him to change his situation. He emailed Bob Bowman, moved to Arizona, and within two years cut more than eight seconds off his personal best and broke Michael Phelps's last-standing individual world record. A year after that, he won four golds in Paris. What actually changed for Marchand: the best coach in the sport, a lane full of people who all believed they could win it all, better facilities and nutrition and physical therapy, and a culture where world-class was the baseline rather than the ceiling. The situation isn't a given. The situation's taken. Control the controllables. The situation is one of them. Angela agrees with the mantra. Her objection is that most people apply it only to what's between their ears: mindset, attitude, goals. Marchand didn't rethink his attitude. He got on a plane. Get the outside game right, and you get much of the inside game for free. Change the room and the thoughts change with it. Every reason you can't change your situation is probably true, and beside the point. When Angela told people what she was writing, they immediately listed the reasons they were stuck. The mother-in-law, the spouse's job, the kids' school. None of it is wrong. All of it ignores the list of things they could change. Her late father-in-law's whole philosophy was two words: show up. Wedding, funeral, baseball game. Show up. John Wooden taught high school English for 14 years. He kept an apple on his desk. He thought of himself as a teacher first, which is also why he sat high in the bleachers during games instead of courtside. He'd taught them in practice. The game was theirs. What Wooden's players took with them: to be your best at anything, find a great teacher. Angela sees a DIY culture pulling the other way. When she tells young people to email someone, the answer is often that they'll just learn it on YouTube or ask a chatbot. You can teach yourself a lot of guitar that way. You will not become a great guitarist alone. Belief is borrowed more than you'd think. Nobody tries hard at anything without the thought "I can do this" somewhere in their head. That thought usually arrives from someone else first. Angela was a self-described ditzy cheerleader throwing keg parties. Her 10th- and 12th-grade English teacher, Mr. Carr, saw a writer. He handed her books. He took time on her pages. By graduation, she was the rare Harvard freshman who signed up for a second semester of the required writing course, just to keep going. The Pygmalion effect. Bob Rosenthal made up a test, told elementary teachers which kids were about to bloom, and picked the names at random. The teachers called on those kids more, listened harder, encouraged more. By year's end, the kids fulfilled the prophecy they'd been randomly assigned. Every single person she has interviewed has a Mr. Carr. Olympic athletes, Olympic coaches, CEOs, world leaders. Someone who could see farther than they could see. Confidence is a half-filled helium balloon. It has to get batted back up again and again. Which means you don't need your mentor once. You need them on the bad days. Angela forwards her rejection letters to her team. The journals she submits to reject over 90 percent of submissions, and the rejections run eight single-spaced pages. She sends them around so the younger scientists watch her fail, hear that she's angry and discouraged, and then watch her get back up. She failed writing this book the first time. Up before dawn seven days a week through an entire sabbatical, and the clock ran out. She called her publisher and her agent to give the money back and asked whether she owed interest. They called it a pause. She said remote controls have separate buttons for pause and stop. Burnout and imposter syndrome were abstractions until they weren't. She had taught both. She had never lived either. Not eating, not sleeping. What got her out was not more effort. It was a better situation: additional editorial support and mentors to get her back on track. Frankl and Maslow argued about this for decades, and Maslow conceded. Self-actualization aimed only at yourself leaves you unfulfilled. Maslow's final writing added a level above it and named it self-transcendence. There are only two types of people: those who are humble, and those who are about to be humbled. Angela's champagne moment a year from now: celebrating the people around her. Erikson called this stage generativity, and the question it asks is how everything you've learned can help the next generation do better than you did. Her students should excel her. They should be the ones on podcasts. She wants to cede the spotlight on purpose rather than have it taken. Her core identity is psychological scientist. Not speaker. Not author. The stage is a flow state, and she's good at it, but take away the research, and it isn't her anymore. Worth knowing which one yours is. Reflection Questions Pick the goal you've been grinding on the longest with the least to show for it. Is that an effort problem or a situational problem? Who is the best in the world at the thing you're trying to learn? What would it take to send the email this week, and then get on the plane? What is your purpose, in one sentence, written down? Mine is to inspire others to value and pursue excellence. What's yours?

John Padgett is a South Carolina real estate agent with more than a decade of experience serving buyers and sellers throughout Horry County and the greater Myrtle Beach area. After working demanding jobs in steel mills, construction, road work, medical equipment delivery, and restaurants, John entered real estate with little industry experience and no established sphere of influence. His early approach was simple: work hard, talk to people, and keep going. In this episode, John shares how those principles helped him build a sustainable real estate business centered on prospecting, relationships, referrals, and consistent follow-up.John walks through his journey from manually tracking prospects in a binder to using REDX to prospect expired listings and build a qualified database. He explains how consistent calling dramatically increased his listings, why he believes prospecting provides one of the strongest returns on investment in real estate, and how he transitioned from door knocking to expireds and geo-prospecting. He also shares how past-client follow-up, targeted mailers, YouTube property tours, social media, and his Google Business Profile have helped him continue to nurture relationships and expand his reach. Most importantly, John explains why discipline and perseverance matter more than constantly changing strategies and why new agents should choose a path, stick with it, and give their efforts enough time to compound. This episode is especially valuable for both new and experienced agents seeking practical prospecting strategies, improved follow-up systems, and a sustainable approach to building a real estate business.Here's What You'll Discover in This Episode...• How John transitioned from demanding blue-collar jobs into a decade-long real estate career.• Why he believes consistent prospecting provides one of the strongest ROIs in real estate.• How door knocking helped John build his first database before he had a CRM.• What changed when John began prospecting expired listings with REDX.• How John organizes, qualifies, and continuously cleans his database.• Why following up with prospects can create opportunities far beyond the original conversation.• How geo-prospecting and neighborhood marketing can help build a pipeline for future business.• What John learned from using YouTube property tours and expanding his digital presence.• Why discipline and perseverance are more important than constantly switching strategies• How new agents can avoid becoming overwhelmed by choosing a few strategies and consistently working them.JUMP TO THESE TOPICS00:00 –

In this special child dedication service, Pastor Jason Polk reminds us that dedicating a child is ultimately about dedicating the parents. Families publicly commit themselves to raising their children to know, trust, and follow Jesus, while the church commits to surrounding and supporting them along the way. Grounded in Deuteronomy 6, this special moment celebrates the gift of family and the calling to make disciples first in the home.

The Invisible Line Between Dedication and Self-Destruction in Law Enforcement In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton talk about a line that exists inside every first responder career — the line between dedication that serves the mission and dedication that quietly becomes self-destruction wearing the costume of commitment. The problem with this line is that it is invisible from the inside. What looks like dedication from the outside — and feels like dedication from the inside — can cross into something far more dangerous without a single dramatic moment announcing the transition. This episode is about learning to see that line before it is crossed so far that the cost of crossing it cannot be recovered.

Have you ever been in an argument where the other person refuses to engage with the evidence? No matter what you say or show, they've already made up their minds. That's exactly where Jesus finds himself at the Feast of Dedication — what we know today as Hanukkah. After three chapters of debate with the religious leaders, they still won't budge. So Jesus ends the argument. But what he says isn't just for them. It's for anyone who's wondered whether their faith is secure, whether the evidence holds up, and whether there's something here worth staking your life on. John 10:22–39. Pastor Jeff Bucknam.

Dedication and Impartation ServiceJoel and Amy Siegel

Send us Fan MailI am your host, Neo Griot.This is Rational Black Thought, Episode 295, August 15, 2026.This week's title comes from Nipsey Hussle's "Dedication":"How long should I stay dedicated? How long 'til opportunity meet preparation?"I like that line because there's frustration in it. Not despair. Not quitting. Frustration — the kind you feel when you've been doing exactly what you're supposed to do. Preparing. Working. Building. Waiting for the moment when all that preparation finally has somewhere to land.And Black people know something about that kind of waiting.We've spent generations being told that progress requires patience. Be patient with America. Be patient with the political system. Be patient with the courts. Be patient with the police. Be patient with the church. Be patient with capitalism. Be patient because things are getting better, just slowly, just wait.And look — sometimes patience makes sense. You can't build anything substantial without it. Movements take time. Institutions take time. Wealth takes time. Political power takes time. Understanding that reality isn't weakness. It's clarity.The problem is when patience becomes the strategy instead of part of the strategy.Because eventually you have to ask what exactly you're waiting for.If I'm waiting while I build capital, organize people, strengthen institutions, and prepare for the next opening — I'm not passive. I'm getting ready. But if I'm waiting because somebody keeps telling me justice is coming eventually, someday, they promise — then I might not be practicing patience at all. I might just be tolerating my own exploitation.Those are not the same thing.Nipsey asks how long until opportunity meets preparation. That question assumes preparation is already happening. The question is whether the opportunity ever shows up. And if it doesn't — at some point we have to stop waiting for the opportunity and start creating one.That's where we're going this week.Intro: Quote of the Week: George Jackson Unmasking the News: Democracy Watch: They Don't Defeat Black Voters, The Redraw Them The Racist Got Recorded and the Whistleblower Got 16 Felonies  When Religious Freedom Means Hiding Child Abuse  Good News: The Data Says HBCUs Work    Bible Study with an Atheist: The Devil Made Me Do It: God, Satan, and The Bible's Body-Count Problem Reflections and Call to Action:Closing/Outro: Power Concedes Nothing without a Demand...

In this episode of Holy Days, Holy People, we explore Hanukkah—the Festival of Lights—and discover why this beloved Jewish holiday continues to inspire hope in every generation.Yael Eckstein traces the remarkable story of the Maccabees, whose faith and courage preserved the worship of the one true God against overwhelming odds. Along the way, she explains the meaning behind the menorah, the miracles of Hanukkah, and what this holiday teaches us about choosing faith over fear and light over darkness.You'll also hear timeless teachings from Fellowship Founder Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein, of blessed memory, as he explores the biblical and historical significance of Hanukkah and its enduring call to rededicate our hearts to God. Bishop Paul Lanier also reflects on why Hanukkah matters to Christians, reminding us that Jesus Himself celebrated the Feast of Dedication and that its message remains deeply relevant today.The episode also shares a moving Hanukkah story from the Holocaust, revealing how light continued to shine even in humanity's darkest hour. Together, these stories remind us that God's light cannot be extinguished, His miracles are still worth proclaiming, and even the smallest flame of faith can illuminate the deepest darkness.Whether Hanukkah is familiar to you or completely new, this episode will deepen your understanding of this remarkable holiday, strengthen your faith, and encourage you to become a bearer of God's light and hope in the world.Continue your journey through the Bible and the Jewish roots of your faith at The Fellowship's Learn Center.

Why don't Catholics just dedicate babies the way so many evangelical churches do? In this episode we look carefully at the difference between a sincere baby dedication and the Catholic sacrament of baptism. Dedication is a beautiful public commitment by parents and the church to raise a child in the faith—but it leaves the child's spiritual state unchanged. Catholic baptism claims something more: that Christ acts first, remitting original sin, conferring sanctifying grace, and incorporating the child into His Body before the child can answer for himself. We examine the theology that produces dedication, the scriptural and historical reasons the Church has always baptized infants, and why the order of God's action matters for both the child and the parents.

Most of us have been told that burnout is caused by overwork and that the solution is to rest, take a break or slow down. Set some boundaries. But what if that's only part of the picture? What if the very thing that made you good at your job - your values, your drive, your commitment to never letting anyone down - is exactly what keeps burning you out? And what if rest, on its own, isn't enough to get you out?In this conversation with Nick Petrie, author, leadership researcher and burnout specialist, we go deeper than the usual burnout conversation. Nick has interviewed hundreds of leaders across high-stakes professions, and his findings challenge almost everything we think we know about why burnout happens and what recovery actually requires.We cover:Why high values alignment is a burnout risk, not a protection - and why caring deeply about your work can mean you have no brakeThe "outdated success formula" - the beliefs and behaviours that got you here, and why they stop working as the stakes get higherThe burnout curve: first, second, and third degree - and how to recognise which stage you're at before your body decides for youThe 1-1-1 mechanism: a simple, pre-scheduled way to build recovery into a life that otherwise never stopsWhat post-burnout growth actually looks like, and why the version of you on the other side of burnout can be more sustainable than the one before itThis episode is for you if the drive that makes you good at what you do is also the thing that makes it impossible to stop. This episode may help you understand why our ingrained programming - the one that says delivering, caring, and never letting people down is what makes us safe - is something we can actually look at and decide whether to keep.

Today’s Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Father Charles Murr joins Terry Gospel – Matthew 15:21-28 – At that time Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And behold, a Canaanite woman of that district came and called out, “Have pity on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is tormented by a demon.” But He did not say a word in answer to her. His disciples came and asked Him, “Send her away, for she keeps calling out after us.” He said in reply, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” But the woman came and did Him homage, saying, “Lord, help me.” He said in reply, “It is not right to take the food of the children and throw it to the dogs.” She said, “Please, Lord, for even the dogs eat the scraps that fall from the table of their masters.” Then Jesus said to her in reply, “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish.” And her daughter was healed from that hour. Memorial of the Dedication of the Basilica of Saint Mary Major at Rome Saint Mary, pray for us! Bishop Sheen quote of the day

Dedication of the Basilica of Saint Mary Major in Rome (Optional Memorial)

Friends of the Rosary,We celebrate today, August 5, the Memorial of the Dedication of the Basilica of St. Mary Major, one of the four most illustrious churches of Rome, along with St. John Lateran, St. Peter, St. Paul Outside the Walls, and St. Mary Major.The Basilica of St. Mary Major was built at the indication of the Blessed Mother after the miracle of the snowfall that took place on the night of August 4 - 5 in the year 358.The Virgin Mary had announced it in a dream to two faithful Roman Christians, the patrician John and his wife, as well as to Pope Liberius.The basilica was completed a century later, after the Council of Ephesus in 431 declared Mary the Mother of God as dogma.Yesterday, during the pontifical Mass in Rome, a traditional shower of flower petals descended from the basilica's ceiling to commemorate the August snowfall of 358.The memorial of the Dedication of the Basilica of Saint Mary Major is also known as Our Lady of the Snows.Our Lady of the Snows teaches that grace can appear where it seems impossible, even “snow” in the heat of summer. God can mark out a place of mercy where human expectation says nothing should happen.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Wednesday of the 18th Week in Ordinary Time Optional Memorial of the Dedication of the Basilica of St. Mary Major Office of Readings and Morning Prayer for 8/5/26 Gospel: Matthew 15:21-28

27 And it came to pass, as he spoke these things, a certain woman from the crowd, lifting up her voice, said to him: Blessed is the womb that bore thee, and the paps that gave thee suck.Factum est autem, cum haec diceret : extollens vocem quaedam mulier de turba dixit illi : Beatus venter qui te portavit, et ubera quae suxisti. 28 But he said: Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God, and keep it.At ille dixit : Quinimmo beati, qui audiunt verbum Dei et custodiunt illud.The Basilica of Our Lady of the Snows, called also St Mary Major, was built on the Esquiline at Rome by St Liberius, Pope from 352 to 366. Popular tradition relates that the site was traced out by a miraculous fall of snow on this date, which is that of the Feast of the Church's Dedication.In the city of Rome there lived a holy nobleman named John. He and his good wife Mary were very devoted to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Since they had no children, they asked Our Lady in fervent prayer to let them know what good deeds they should perform with their great fortune. The Blessed Mother answered their prayer in a marvellous way. On August 5th, when it is very hot in Rome, they both dreamed that she told them to build a church in her honor on the spot they would find covered with snow! John told Pope Liberius went to the spot on the Esquiline Hill where the snow lay, and traced out a plan for the new church, which became the most famous church of Mary in all the world. This church has been called the Liberian Basilica (after the Pope), and St Mary of the Snow, because of the miracle. After a relic of the crib in which Jesus was born was brought to this church, it was called St Mary of the Crib too. Today, we call it St Mary Major, to show that it is the major church of Our Lady.Many great Saints, such as St Stanislaus Kostka and St Aloysius, loved to pray in the Church of St. Mary Major. One of the oldest pictures of Our Lady is venerated there. This picture, which people say was painted by St. Luke, was carried from the church in possession by the Pope when a terrible sickness was killing the people of Rome. Everyone begged Mary to stop this plague and their prayers were answered. Another time, with this picture from the Church of St. Mary Major, the Pope blessed homes that were on fire, and the fire stopped by a miracle. These are just a few of the many wonderful graces the Blessed Mother has granted to those who turn to her with faith and love.Let us purify our souls well with the Sacrament of Confession. Only in this way can we hope to receive all graces from our Blessed Mother.

On August 5, the Catholic Church annually celebrates the Optional Memorial of the Dedication of the Basilica of Saint Mary Major, Santa Maria Maggiore, one of the four most illustrious churches of Rome, along with St. John Lateran, St. Peter, and St. Paul Outside the Walls, and Christendom’s first Marian shrine for pilgrims. An annual feast commemorates a miracle of the snowfall that occurred on the site where the Basilica of St. Mary Major now stands. The Virgin Mary had appeared in a dream to two faithful Roman Christians, as well as to Pope Liberius (352-366), asking that a church be built in her honor on the site where snow would fall on the night of August 5th.That’s why another name for the basilica is Our Lady of the Snow, Saint Mary of the Snow, and the feast of today is Our Lady of Snows, la Virgen Blanca, in Spanish. Nowadays, in Rome, during the Pontifical Mass, the traditional shower of flower petals descends from the ceiling of the basilica to commemorate the miraculous snowfall. Pope Francis’ mortal remains are buried in St. Mary Major. He was laid to rest near the icon of Mary Salus Populi Romani, translated to "Health or Salvation or Protectress of the Roman People." The image is a deeply revered ancient tableau purported to have been painted by Saint Luke the Evangelist. Saint Jerome (347–420) is buried at the Basilica, following his death in Bethlehem on September 30, 420 AD. Jerome was s Christian priest and Doctor of the Church best known for translating most of the Bible into Latin, a seminal work known as the Vulgate. He is also the patron saint of translators, librarians, archivists, and biblical scholars.

Like Governor Felix, who delayed righteousness for personal convenience and selfish gain, many believers only serve God when it suits them or when they expect something in return. However, true Kingdom service requires sacrifice, not convenience; we must stop holding God's work hostage and willingly pour ourselves out for His glory.

Full Text of Readings Wednesday of the Eighteenth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 409 The Saint of the day is Dedication of Saint Mary Major Basilica The Story of the Dedication of Saint Mary Major Basilica First raised at the order of Pope Liberius in the mid-fourth century, the Liberian basilica was rebuilt by Pope Sixtus III shortly after the Council of Ephesus affirmed Mary's title as Mother of God in 431. Rededicated at that time to the Mother of God, St. Mary Major is the largest church in the world honoring God through Mary. Standing atop one of Rome's seven hills, the Esquiline, it has survived many restorations without losing its character as an early Roman basilica. Its interior retains three naves divided by colonnades in the style of Constantine's era. Fifth-century mosaics on its walls testify to its antiquity. St. Mary Major is one of the four Roman basilicas known as patriarchal churches in memory of the first centers of the Church. St. John Lateran represents Rome, the See of Peter; St. Paul Outside the Walls, the See of Alexandria, allegedly the see presided over by Mark; St. Peter's, the See of Constantinople; and St. Mary's, the See of Antioch, where Mary is supposed to have spent most of her later life. One legend, unreported before the year 1000, gives another name to this feast: Our Lady of the Snows. According to that story, a wealthy Roman couple pledged their fortune to the Mother of God. In affirmation, she produced a miraculous summer snowfall and told them to build a church on the site. The legend was long celebrated by releasing a shower of white rose petals from the basilica's dome every August 5. Reflection Theological debate over Christ's nature as God and man reached fever pitch in Constantinople in the early fifth century. The chaplain of Bishop Nestorius began preaching against the title Theotokos, “Mother of God,” insisting that the Virgin was mother only of the human Jesus. Nestorius agreed, decreeing that Mary would henceforth be named “Mother of Christ” in his see. The people of Constantinople virtually revolted against their bishop's refutation of a cherished belief. When the Council of Ephesus refuted Nestorius, believers took to the streets, enthusiastically chanting, “Theotokos! Theotokos!”Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media
