Is Burnout an Individual or Organisational Problem?

In this episode, Cait puts our very own Chartered Occupational Psychologist, Leanne Elliott, in the hot seat. They dive deep into the messy, nuanced reality of workplace culture, systemic stress, and employee wellbeing. Cait doesn't let Leanne off lightly, challenging her on everything from the validity of psychometric tests to where manager training fails and where individual responsibility ends and organizational responsibility begins. If you've ever wondered why workplace stress persists despite wellness initiatives, or how we can build truly supportive work environments, this honest, no-bullshit discussion is for you.

This is a conversation about the gap between checking the box and being genuinely competent and confident when it counts. Bryan Williams, Chancey Pogue, Matt Pranka, and Dustin Mowery walk through the real roadmap: why the stigma against competition shooting is rooted in ego and not evidence, why the qualification score is one of the most useless metrics in law enforcement, and what training in isolation actually means when you strip away the buzzwords and get honest about the work.Dry fire is the thread running through the whole episode, and not in the vague, post-it-on-Instagram way. You'll hear what to focus on, how long to go, when to stop, how to marry it to live fire when you only have 50 rounds to your name, and why grip and vision are the only two things that matter until you have truly mastered them. The principles are simple. The work isn't. But if you understand why you are doing it, the framework and roadmap becomes clear.If you've ever said, "I can't do that at my agency" or "I'm not trying to be a GM," this episode is specifically for you. The guys lay out exactly what it looks like to start wherever you are, eliminate the excuses, and build the kind of skill that holds up when everything is moving fast and the stakes are real.In this episode:• Law enforcement qualifications are a box to check, not a measure of skill: shooting at seven yards on a line with no time pressure is not a test of your ability to run a gun under stress, and anchoring your identity to that score is actively holding you back• The stigma against competition shooting comes from ego, not evidence: the best shooters in the world are practical shooting competitors, and the 'targets don't shoot back' argument falls apart the moment you realize no targets on any LE range shoot back either• Peer pressure inside a ranked department is a more powerful culture driver than any mandate: when officers can see exactly where they rank in ability, the bottom of the stack starts climbing, and culturally the whole group shifts upward over time• Grip and vision are the foundation that everything else is built on: if those two things are not dialed in, every rep of dry fire and every round of live fire is reinforcing a flawed pattern, not building a better one• Dry fire sessions should be short, focused, and honest: when your grip pressure, visual discipline, or mechanical consistency starts to degrade, that session is over for that task, point of diminishing returns is real and ignoring it means taking steps backward• A 10 to 1 dry fire to live fire ratio maximizes limited ammo: settle grip and vision in dry fire first, then test it live, do not use your 50 rounds to figure out things that cost you nothing to figure out in your living room• Chancey's recruit class averaged 98.6 out of 100 on their qualification after eight weeks of structured dry fire with zero live rounds fired beforehand, two 30 minute sessions per week, no fancy facility required• Visual discipline and visual control are the two principles that govern the vision side: use the right aiming scheme for the distance and difficulty at hand, connect to the exact spot on the target you need to hit, and do not over confirm or under confirm, no more and no lessChapters:0:56 Welcome to TTPOA 2026 in Round Rock2:17 Guest introductions around the table3:57 Setting the stage: what is wrong with LE firearms training11:05 Breaking the stigma against practical/competition shooting14:22 Why the qualification score is a broken measuring stick20:55 How practical shooting culture spreads inside departments28:36 The ego reset: your first match is supposed to hurt40:19 Training in isolation: what it actually means47:57 Building the dry fire habit: capturing time wherever you can1:05:40 Chancey's recruit dry fire protocol and the 98.6 average1:28:46 Making the most of limited ammo: the 10 to 1 rule1:37:34 Wrapping up: grip, vision, and the two principles that never changeMentioned:Bryan Williams — Nearly 39-year law enforcement veteran, former police chief in Central Texas, one of the first five USPSA Grand Masters in the nation and the first in Texas, joins the roundtable at TTPOA 2026.Chancey Pogue — Lieutenant over the weapons range and all reality-based training at a large North Texas agency with approximately 2,000 officers, credited with implementing practical shooting and a structured recruit dry fire program.Matt Pranka — Owner of X-Ray Alpha, retired Army Special Operations background, USPSA competitor for about 13 years and GM, has spent six years working to bring practical shooting and competition-style training to law enforcement and military.Dustin Mowery — Retired Ohio police officer with 27 years of service, helped introduce practical shooting to his department's firearms unit around 2019 after connecting with Matt Pranka, now teaches classes independently and with Matt.Kim Pastore — Described as a runaway train working tirelessly through the Jorge Pastore Foundation to get the right coaches in front of law enforcement and raise money to send officers to training for free.Ben Stoeger — Referenced as having done more for the practical shooting training world than anyone, praised for his ability to reverse-engineer classifiers, self-teach to a GM level, and present foundational concepts in the simplest and most effective way.Jerry Barnhart — Legendary practical shooter Bryan Williams saw run stages at the nationals in Reno in the nineties, described as a beast whose performance was a formative, eye-opening demonstration of what is possible with a handgun.Sean Griffith — Described as a world-class shooter who teaches more cops on a day-to-day basis than almost anyone through the entity he works with, called out as a heavy lifter at the TTPOA match.Gabe Rivera — High-level shooter whose dramatic skill improvement since 2019 is highlighted as an example of the hockey-stick trajectory possible with focused training; was about to appear in the booth after the roundtable.Adrian Yun — High-level shooter praised alongside Gabe Rivera and Clay for the rapid skill development they achieved, also noted during the match for his grip awareness and in-stage self-correction.Clay B — High-level shooter nicknamed 'speed demon,' noted for shooting with the wrong hand and called out as one of the heavy lifters whose improvement since 2019 is remarkable.Jay — Person Chancey met who was highly skilled at shooting without ever having competed, described as someone whose natural drive and desire to improve explained everything about how he got that good.

Season One  Some scenes deserve a conversation all their own. The SyFy Sistas Scene Draft continues! Each month, we'll revisit Season 1 of a different Star Trek series, one scene at a time. This time, we're diving into Season 1 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Each Sista brings her picks across five categories: the scene that changed how we looked at a character, broke our heart, made us fall in love with Star Trek all over again, hit differently on a rewatch, and was better than the entire episode. Three Sistas. Fifteen scenes. Every pick has a story.

What does real, living faith look like when life gets hard, uncertain, or dangerous? In this verse-by-verse study of Hebrews 11.17–31, Dave Bigler walks through the lives of the Old Testament saints to uncover how genuine faith moves beyond passive belief into bold, obedient action. From Abraham willingly placing Isaac on the altar to the Patriarchs blessing the next generation on their deathbeds, this teaching explores how God's people trusted His promises even when they could not see the ultimate outcome.Continuing through the life of Moses, the miraculous crossing of the Red Sea, the fall of Jericho, and the redemption of Rahab, this message highlights how everyday people with real struggles were used by God in extraordinary ways because of their faith. Wrapping up with the sobering warning from James 2.14–26, this study challenges us to stop waiting for full understanding before obeying, and instead step out in active faith today.

Serhii Plokhy, Part Two: The second part focuses on the 2022 full-scale invasion, defined by Putin's catastrophic miscalculation that his troops would be welcomed as liberators. Instead, Ukraine demonstrated remarkable resilience under President Zelenskyy and military leaders like General Oleksandr Syrskyi. Plokhy highlights the "outright criminality" of Russian tactics, specifically the reckless use of nuclear sites like Chernobyl and Zaporizhzhia as military shields and tools of international blackmail. He notes that the defense of sites like the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupolbecame global symbols of Ukrainian resistance. The war has triggered profound global shifts, including Germany's "Zeitenwende" and Japan's move toward providing military support. Former "interlocutors" like Emmanuel Macronhave shifted from seeking accommodation to joining the US-led coalition, while diplomatic mediation has fallen to leaders like President Erdoğan of Turkey. Furthermore, Ukraine's effective defense has likely contributed to stability in East Asia by discouraging a Chinese military adventure in Taiwan. While Putin views the war through an imperial lens, NATO has rediscovered its purpose in defending the international order. Plokhy concludes that while Putin is destroying Russia's future, the war may eventually force the nation to rethink itself as a modern state rather than an empire. (2)

Jack Burnham explains the FCC's efforts to prohibit military-grade, foreign-produced drones, specifically targeting Chinese firms like DJI due to security concerns. These "dual-use" systems are defined by their ability to carry heavy loads and utilize advanced sensor arrays. A significant security gap exists because critical infrastructure like power grids and hospitals lacks the same protections afforded to airports and military bases. Burnham cites a 2024 arrest of a man flying an unregistered drone over Vandenberg Space Force Base in California as evidence of the threat. The Trumpadministration has issued executive orders to secure American airspace from unidentified objects. (7)

What if doing whatever you want doesn't actually make you free?In this episode, John Ortberg explores one of Dallas Willard's most profound ideas from The Renovation of the Heart: true freedom isn't the ability to satisfy every desire. It's becoming the kind of person who desires what is good and has the strength to live it out.Discover why self-denial is not the enemy of freedom, how envy quietly steals our joy, and why the path Jesus offers leads to the deepest kind of human flourishing.

His extraordinary story reveals the true meaning of American grit and the sacrifices that built the United States. Most Americans have never heard of Declaration signer John Hart, yet his life captures the courage, resilience, and unwavering conviction that made American independence possible. As British troops and Hessian mercenaries swept across New Jersey during the Revolutionary War, Hart fled his home, lost his wife, watched his thirteen children scatter, and saw his livelihood destroyed.

As America celebrates its 250th birthday, this episode of the America's Founding Series on The P.A.S. Report Podcast uncovers the remarkable story of one of America's most overlooked Founding Fathers while exploring why his example of character, resilience, self-reliance, and civic responsibility remains just as relevant today. Discover how John Hart's story reveals the qualities that built the American Republic and why preserving freedom still depends on ordinary citizens willing to stand by their convictions. Our independence did not rest solely on famous figures like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and John Adams. What You'll Learn In This Episode: Why John Hart risked everything by signing the Declaration of Independence How the Revolutionary War transformed a respected New Jersey farmer into a hunted fugitive The heartbreaking personal sacrifices Hart endured, including the loss of his wife while living in hiding What American grit truly means and why conviction only matters when it faces real tests How ordinary citizens, not just famous Founding Fathers, built the foundation of American self-government Why John Hart's life offers timeless lessons about resilience, self-reliance, civic responsibility, and preserving freedom ⭐ Enjoying America's Founding Series?

In this verse-by-verse teaching through Hebrews 11:1–16, Dave Bigler from Iron Sheep Ministries examines the true biblical definition of faith—not as wishful thinking or subjective optimism, but as a rock-solid contract (hypostasis) and Spirit-given conviction (elegchos) rooted entirely in the character of God. Moving through the opening hall of faith, this study explores how believers understand Creation by faith and how Abel, Enoch, and Noah demonstrated genuine trust through a faithful daily walk with God, and a holy reverence that cared far more for God's voice than the crowd's applause. We also trace the steps of Abraham and Sarah, who stepped out into the unknown, waited 25 years for the promised heir, and discovered that God's supernatural power begins right where human capacity drops to zero. As followers of Christ, we are challenged to stop measuring God's unlimited power by our own physical limits and self-imposed rulers. Like the patriarchs who openly confessed they were foreigners and strangers on this earth, true biblical faith refuses to look back at the comforts of our past lives (Ur of the Chaldeans), choosing instead to fix its eyes on the heavenly city prepared by God. Join us for this deep dive into God's Word as we examine our own hearts, hand over our zero-capacity areas to the Promise-Maker, and learn what it means to walk by faith every single day.

In this Conflicted Conversation, Thant Myint-U talks about his new book Peacemaker: U Thant, the United Nations and the Untold Story of the 1960s. It tells the story of his grandfather U Thant, the Burmese schoolteacher turned UN Secretary-General who guided the United Nations through some of the most dangerous crises of the 1960s, yet is now woefully forgotten or badly misremembered. Thant explains: U Thant's forgotten role as UN Secretary-General during the great crises of the 1960s His sociability, humour, directness, and moral imagination How Buddhism shaped U Thant's approach to crisis How newly independent post-colonial states tried to remake the world order Burma/Myanmar after empire: colonial destruction, weak institutions, and postcolonial state-building The Non-Aligned Movement: Afro-Asian internationalism beyond the US–Soviet Cold War Congo, Katanga and sovereignty: U Thant's defence of postcolonial borders against neo-imperial fragmentation The Cuban Missile Crisis: U Thant's overlooked role in helping Kennedy, Khrushchev and Castro de-escalate Vietnam and the lost peace channel: U Thant's ignored 1964 attempt to open talks with Ho Chi Minh The Six-Day War and the UN-Israel rupture: UNEF, Nasser, Israel, and the myth that the UN abandoned Israel U Thant's late one-world vision, the decline of Bandung idealism, and the lost promise of postcolonial internationalism Join the Conflicted Community here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://conflicted.supportingcast.fm/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Visit Thant's website: thantmyintu.com Find us on X: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/MHconflicted⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ And Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/MHconflicted⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ And Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/conflictedpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

What must happen before a business can trust AI agents to detect and resolve operational problems without waiting for human intervention? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Josh Clay, Regional Vice President of Solution Engineering for Dynatrace in the UK, about autonomous operations, AI observability, fragmented telemetry, business outcomes, and the growing pressure to control token and data costs. Josh has spent much of his 11 years at Dynatrace discussing the road toward autonomous operations. The earliest version involved reducing the time organizations spent inside IT war rooms. He remembers calls with 30 or 40 people attempting to establish which team was responsible for an incident. He jokingly calls this the "mean time to innocence." Modern observability reduced many of those investigations from several hours to between 30 and 60 minutes. Agentic AI creates the possibility of going further by identifying a problem, understanding its cause, and resolving it before the customer experience is affected. That ambition also introduces risk. Josh cites Dynatrace research showing that 52% of respondents view security, privacy, and compliance concerns as barriers to AI adoption. He believes many organizations still lack full observability across their existing technology environments, making autonomous agents harder to supervise. Josh shares a warning from Alex Hibbert of Storia Group: AI can amplify existing technology problems. If telemetry is fragmented, data quality is poor, or teams cannot see how services depend on one another, adding autonomous agents may increase the speed and scale of the resulting failure. Trust therefore depends on visibility. Josh describes observability as a control plane for agentic AI because it can show what an agent is doing, why it made a decision, and what happened afterward. Defined guardrails and real time information can give leaders confidence without asking them to surrender control blindly. The adoption figures show how early this work remains. Josh says 50% of businesses have AI operating in limited production use cases, often performing one isolated task. Only 23% describe their deployments as connected across the wider organization. We discuss how observability has progressed beyond technical monitoring. An airport can measure whether technology changes improve e-gate availability and passenger processing times. A bank can examine whether application performance affects mortgage completion rates. These connections allow leaders to measure AI through business results rather than relying entirely on response times and infrastructure metrics. Reliable agents also need suitable data. Dynatrace says AI agents operating with deterministic data can work 12 times more accurately and three times faster while using two and a half times fewer tokens. These remain company findings, but they demonstrate why context and causality can affect cost as well as reliability. Fragmented telemetry creates another barrier. Logs may sit in one platform, front end monitoring in another, and metrics or traces somewhere else. Attempting to reconstruct every relationship for an AI agent can become expensive and difficult. Josh recommends bringing observability data into a connected environment where relationships between services, cloud resources, traces, metrics, and logs are already understood. He also warns against collecting information simply because it exists. Data hoarding increases ingestion costs and can introduce personal information into systems without a clear business need. The conversation then moves toward AI FinOps. Leaders want to know what agents cost, how many tokens they consume, and whether those costs produce a measurable return. Josh describes a Dynatrace proof of concept that identified potential annual savings just below £250,000 within one small environment. That example reinforces a recurring concern. Organizations are racing to place AI into production, then moving to the next project without reviewing whether the previous environment is appropriately sized or financially efficient. Josh hopes companies will develop a more pragmatic view of AI as another enterprise tool. That means establishing agreed methods for deployment, monitoring, cost management, incident response, and measuring business results. Could observability provide the confidence businesses need to move from isolated AI experiments toward autonomous operations? Listen to the episode and share your thoughts with me.

“How many people do you think go into a bar and say: ‘I'd like an Everclear on the rocks, please…'?”   Looking back, 1997 seems utterly surreal…   To put things in perspective, 1997 marked the debut of South Park on Comedy Central, the release of Radiohead's breakthrough, third album, OK Computer, the beginning of the final season of Seinfeld, and (of course) the arrival of Metallica's conclusion to The Loads with Reload.   Perhaps one of the most surreal (and tragic) parts of 1997 was the time a bunch of children in a band called Hanson went viral with a song called MMMBop while a lesser known, criminally underrated, and FAR SUPERIOR band (with an extremely similar sounding name, consisting of former members of Helmet & Quicksand) called Handsome released their one (and only) album, Handsome, earlier that same year.     Sometimes life is just too weird and utterly unfair…   It's time to discover the power of “a better magical piece of paper” that is not a college degree and understand that whenever someone uses the term ‘dating' that “we know exactly what they're talking about”.    Find out who “stayed metal the whole time”, who was “chuggin' the D”, and who wasn't going to metal shows “unless it was Metallica” when you JOIN US as we go back in time almost 30 years with THE CLASS OF 1997.

Nick Lloyd describes British leadership during the Great War as defined by constant arguments, doubt, and backstabbing among its political and military elite. Prime Minister H.H. Asquith and War Minister Lord Kitchener struggled to manage the war's unexpected scale, which saw the British army balloon from a tiny expeditionary force to a massive 60-division organization within eighteen months. The replacement of Asquith by David Lloyd George brought a new wave of "infectious energy" to the war effort, though he maintained notoriously poor relations with Douglas Haig. Lloyd George's distrust of Haig's optimistic "breakthrough" strategies led to deep strategic disagreements, particularly as the British were forced to support the failing French offensives of 1917. This friction underscored the broader challenge of coalition warfare, as the British resisted subordinating their troops to French command until the dire military crisis of 1918 finally necessitated a unified leadership under Ferdinand Foch.

A Well-Defined Faith — Proverbs 9:1-18 — Wisdom Sermon from July 26, 2026 – Deron Spoo, Pastor Part 15 of 20 in the series “A Well-Defined Faith”   Thanks for worshiping with us! Let us know you're here at tulsafbc.org/next we'd love to connect with you!

The sermon defines the flesh as a corrupted physiological and spiritual condition that opposes God, contrasting it with the life of the Spirit. It integrates biblical theology with neuroscience to explain how human behavior is shaped by brain circuitry and attention. The speaker argues that sinful patterns become hardwired through repeated actions, while yielding to the Spirit reorganizes neural pathways toward self-control. This holistic view affirms that human problems involve both material physiology and immaterial soul dynamics. Ultimately, the message calls for discernment between naturalistic worldviews and biblical truth regarding human nature.

Haystack Full of Needles: A memoir of research on mechanisms of memory in the decades that defined neuroscience by Louis Neal Irwin https://www.amazon.com/dp/1664140603 Lirwin.org How do we store information in the brain? Is memory a thing in a place, like a specific molecule in a particular cell? Or does learning require a process in a population, like neurons firing in a specific pattern for each experience? This combination of memoir and history tells the story of how the mechanisms of memory were gradually revealed, through biographical vignettes of the scientists who set out to solve the riddle of memory, including the author?s own efforts as he was coming of age as a scientist. It shows how individual goals intertwine with the technologies at hand to push scientific knowledge forward, often erratically, and always in the context of social forces and private ups and downs. Not only a compelling personal story with the war in Vietnam, civil rights movement, and downfall of two presidents as backdrop, this is a lucid explanation of brain function for the nonscientist and valuable contribution to the history of science in the decades that saw neuroscience join molecular biology as the marquee biomedical accomplishments of the twentieth century About the author Writer, neuroscientist, astrobiologist, educator, and political activist.

"As with all things with the IRS, document, document, document." Our hosts, Stephanie McCullough and Kevin Gaines, explain what actually happens when you move an investment or retirement account from one custodian to another. The mechanics may seem as simple as filling out a form and waiting a few days. But Kevin walks through the fine print that trips up even seasoned advisors. Taxable accounts can usually move without triggering a sale, so cost basis and unrealized gains transfer intact. Retirement accounts are where the real danger lives. There are two ways to move retirement money: a trustee-to-trustee transfer, where the funds never touch your hands, and a 60-day rollover, where they briefly become yours. The second path can be a minefield because, if you miss the 60-day window by even a day, the money is reclassified as a taxable distribution. The only way back is IRS self-certification for a handful of approved hardships, or a costly private letter ruling. And if you mix up traditional and Roth buckets during a move, you risk an illegal conversion or double taxation. Beyond the rollover clock, Kevin brings up the mandatory 20% withholding on 401(k) distributions, and after-tax "basis" dollars that shouldn't be taxed twice. Then there's Form 5498, an easily discarded document that turns out to be essential for tracking IRA contributions and conversions for years to come. Needless to say, all of this can be overwhelming. That's why it's so important to ask questions, document everything, and use direct transfers whenever possible.   Key Topics: Taxable Accounts and Custodians, Defined (04:38) The Myth That You Have to Sell Everything to Move (06:26) Transfer vs. Rollover: The Critical Difference (13:37) Inside the 60-Day Rollover Danger Zone (17:39) RMDs, Penalties, and the First-Dollar Rule (21:31) After-Tax Basis: Money You've Already Paid Tax On (26:51) The Mandatory 20% Withholding Trap on 401(k) Rollovers (31:50) Annuities and Surrender Periods (35:21)   If you like what you've been hearing, we invite you to subscribe on your favorite platform and leave us a review.

Who Gets to Define the Next Generation? Gen Z Finds Its Voice—and Its Anchor—in Christ Is Gen Z lost in the noise of culture, media, and politics—or are they quietly forging a radical new path of faith? In this powerful episode, Catherine sits down with high school senior and gifted poet Charis Shoemaker to explore how today’s young Christians are wrestling with identity, truth, and calling in an ever-fractured world. If you wonder what the next generation truly believes, and how Christian parents can encourage their kids to pursue God in the midst of cultural chaos, this is an episode you cannot afford to miss. About Our Guest:Charis Shoemaker is no ordinary teenager. A state award-winning actress, an eloquent poet, and—most importantly—a passionate follower of Christ, she represents a new wave of young believers speaking up for authentic faith. Charis’ original poem, “They Say,” recently brought a packed house to their feet at her homeschool graduation, voicing the hopes and struggles of a generation determined to follow Christ—no matter the cost. What You’ll Discover in This Episode: Gen Z Under the MicroscopeListen as Charis shares firsthand what it’s like to grow up constantly defined—often unfairly—by societal labels, politics, and the relentless barrage of social media. In an era of fractured opinions, what do young people really hear about who or what they’re supposed to be? The Power of Godly InfluenceCharis opens up about her own journey, including profound family challenges and the steady faith of her mother, a night-shift nurse who made time for Scripture and prayer no matter how hard life got. Her story testifies to the quiet resilience that shapes faith behind the scenes. A Poetic Anthem for Gen ZHear Charis' captivating poem, “They Say,” in full. Her words challenge generational stereotypes and culture’s attempts to define identity—while serving as an anthem for those who choose to be defined not by people, but by the voice of God. “If my life is to revolve around opinions, I would much rather they come from a God who is preeminent than a people who are insignificant... I would much rather they be words spoken by the Word who became flesh for me.” – Charis Shoemaker, 19:15 Dealing with Church Hurt and PainCharis recounts personal battles—including abuse and disappointment with the Church—and how those wounds could have derailed her faith. Yet, she found hope, healing, and her truest identity in Jesus. Parents will find wisdom here for helping kids process pain with grace rather than anger or withdrawal. Who Gets to Define Us?The conversation zeroes in on the theme of authority, urging listeners to ask tough questions: Is our identity determined by culture, by the Church, by ourselves—or solely by God, the Creator who names us and calls us His own? Hope Rising in Gen ZContrary to stereotypes, Charis reveals that a growing number of her peers are returning to church and hungry for real, unfiltered truth. She challenges parents not to underestimate Gen Z's capacity—and desire—for deep faith, and encourages both generations to risk bold, loving conversations about what matters most. “There’s a generation coming up after you that wants truth…Be there for us. Give us that thing to hold on to.” – Charis Shoemaker, 53:38 Why This Matters:In a season when so much is said about the failures and fears of the next generation, this episode highlights a surprising undercurrent: Gen Z isn’t just walking away—they’re wrestling, seeking, and often returning to the God who defines them. Catherine and Charis Shoemaker’s honest exchange offers hope to every parent praying for their child’s faith journey. Memorable Moments: The story of Charis Shoemaker's friend whose final words were simply, “Trust Jesus”—a moving reminder of the enduring legacy of authentic faith (35:33). An inspiring encounter with a peer who worships “mother earth” and how open conversation sows seeds of truth and friendship (52:53). The recognition that every generation faces labels, but the only voice that matters is God’s. Modern Application:Christian parents, take heart! The next generation is listening, watching, and longing for truth—especially from you. Your example, prayers, and honest conversations matter more than ever. As you foster their search for identity, remember: God alone must anchor our children in a world desperate to define them. Call to Action:How are you helping your children—or the young people in your life—listen to God’s voice above all others? This week, try having an open conversation about identity and faith at home. Share your own story, and invite them to share theirs—uncut, unfiltered, and real.

NSC-68: The Blueprint for Cold War Rearmament GUEST: Nick Bunker Following the 1949 Soviet atomic test, Paul Nitze and Dean Acheson drafted NSC-68, a top-secret strategic document that defined the Cold War struggle. The document portrayed the Soviet threat in the "starkest, grimmest possible terms," identifying 1954 as the "year of maximum danger." To counter Soviet military spending — estimated at 15% of their national output — NSC-68 proposed trebling the U.S. defense budget from $13 billion to $40 billion. Simultaneously, McCarthy targeted Owen Lattimore, an Asia expert, as a "master Soviet agent" to undermine the State Department's policy. While Lattimore was eventually cleared, the political pressure forced the administration into an awkward defensive position. Ultimately, the outbreak of the Korean War in June 1950 "overtook" the measured rollout of NSC-68, leading to the massive military build-up the document envisioned, but in a far more chaotic and urgent manner.

Have you ever held back from saying something you know, teaching something you have lived, or going for the thing you want - because a voice whispered that you haven't earned the right yet? Not the ordinary self-doubt. The deeper kind. The one that says your story isn't painful enough, your struggle wasn't dramatic enough, and other people are allowed to lead, but you have to wait until you've suffered the right way first. That belief has a name. It's the qualification myth - and this episode is about taking it apart.ABOUT THIS EPISODEI got a piece of feedback recently that stung. Not because it was cruel, but because it pointed straight at something she knows a lot of high-achieving women quietly carry: the belief that authority has to be earned through visible suffering. In this solo episode, she breaks down the qualification myth - where it comes from, how it shows up in your job right now, why it hits women harder than men, and the three things that actually qualify you to teach, lead, and take up space. None of them require you to have hit rock bottom first.INSIDE THE EPISODEThe Qualification Myth, Defined. The belief that you are only allowed to teach what has nearly destroyed you - that your authority comes from how much you have bled, not from what you actually know. Let's name it, define it, and trace it back to where it starts.Why It Hits Women Differently. Men teach from theory and are handed authority based on confidence. Women are asked to prove it - to be both wildly accomplished and deeply humble at the same time. The invisible tax is real, and it is costing you bandwidth every single day.The Promotion You Didn't Go For. Women apply for a role when they have closed every qualification gap. Men apply when they meet about half. The gap is not competence - it's permission. Men give it to themselves. We wait to earn it.Pre-Discounting in Real Time. Every time you open with 'I'm not really an expert, but...' or 'it might be obvious...' you are handing the room a script for doubting you. You are paying the qualification tax before anyone even asks for it.You Cannot Suffer Your Way Into Everyone's Approval. There is no amount of pain that earns you universal permission. Some people have already decided what your story should look like, and your actual life is never going to match the version living inside their head.The Three Things That Actually Qualify You. You have lived it. You have done the work to understand it. And what you know can move one person one step forward. That is it. That has always been it. Full stop.The SNAP Method in Real Time. I walk through how she used her own framework to process the feedback - stop, name the sticky floor, ask if the thought is true and helpful, and pivot. Not to pretend it didn't sting, but to decide not to sit in it.

George Black, guest author, describes how Manus Campbell's experience in the mountains of I Corps was defined by the arbitrariness of death and survival. His unit frequently walked into triangular ambushes set by elite North Vietnameseregulars, resulting in horrific firefights where survival had little to do with skill. Campbell witnessed companions die in his place due to random movements, a primary root of his subsequent PTSD and survivor guilt. Meanwhile, Chuck Searcy experienced the Tet Offensive from Saigon, realizing that while the North suffered military losses, they won a strategic victory by turning the American public against the war. Searcy and his colleagues in intelligence were acutely aware that they had been asked to misrepresent the war's progress to the public. A pivotal moment for both men occurred in June 1968, when they heard about the death of Robert F. Kennedy on Armed Forces Radio. This event signaled a deep fracture in American society, leaving them to wonder what kind of country they would return to. After their tours, Campbell struggled with alcoholism and psychological torment in Europe, while Searcy eventually joined the anti-war movement after becoming convinced of its credibility during his time in Germany.

Ronald White, guest author, explains that the 20th Maine's early service was defined by the grim realities of warfare, from the massacre at Fredericksburg to a debilitating smallpox outbreak caused by defective vaccination serum within the camp. By June 1863, the regiment was forced on grueling 30-mile marches toward Gettysburg under oppressive summer heat. On the second day of the battle, Chamberlain received desperate orders to hold the far left of the Unionline at Little Round Top "at all cost." Facing superior Confederate numbers and having exhausted his unit's ammunition, Chamberlain executed a legendary bayonet charge that broke the enemy assault. During the chaotic melee, he personally confronted a Confederate officer at gunpoint, taking his pistol as the position was secured. Though he suffered from malaria following the victory, his leadership at Gettysburg cemented his reputation as a tactical hero who saved the Union flank.

Adrian Wooldridge explains that for most of history, society was defined by a hierarchical presumption where individuals were born into "proper stations." This Great Chain of Being posited that social and natural orders were divinely ordained; disrupting this hierarchy was believed to cause chaos and natural disasters. Royal dynasties served as the central organizing principle, yet they were inherently fragile due to the "frailties of human flesh," such as madness, infancy, or the inability to produce male heirs. Walter Bagehot later viewed these royal houses as mere "decorations" to distract the masses. 179 AD POMPEII
