Make up your mind….get's some accountability….and l pray you will experience the power of the Holy Spirit moving upon every dark area in your life in the powerful name of JESUS. AMEN!

He emphasizes the importance of recognizing and treating sleep disorders as independent issues.00:08:28 - Importance of Sleep Quality, Dr. Krakow highlights the significance of sleep quality over the number of hours slept. He explains that fragmented sleep with disrupted brainwave patterns can lead to feelings of unrefreshed sleep and daytime fatigue.00:12:18 - Sleep's Impact on Mental Health, The discussion delves into the various mechanisms by which sleep affects mental health. Dr. Krakow explains how sleep improves energy levels, cleanses the brain of toxic molecules, and its correlation with the glymphatic system, which may influence the risk of dementia.00:14:57 - Long-term Consequences of Untreated Sleep Disorders, Dr. Krakow emphasizes the wide-ranging consequences of untreated sleep disorders on both mental and physical health, including cardiovascular and neurological issues. He warns against prolonged reliance on medications or ineffective advice, urging individuals to seek proper treatment for their sleep disorders.00:16:26 - The Importance of Sleep Technology, The guest discusses the importance of having advanced technology in sleep centers to accurately diagnose sleep disorders. He shares a story about a single mom who was constantly tired and struggling at work. After being dismissed by other sleep centers, she found relief through a specific technology that measured her breathing in a unique way.00:19:14 - The Life-Changing Impact of Proper Treatment, The guest recounts the story of the single mom who experienced a miraculous improvement in her life after receiving proper treatment for her sleep disorder.

Therapists who specialize in treating nightmares and insomnia can help adolescents overcome these issues.00:34:09 - Nonpharmacological Treatments for Nightmares and Insomnia Imagery Rehearsal Therapy is a leading nonpharmacological treatment for chronic nightmares, but it is not widely known or practiced. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for insomnia is another specialized program that can help individuals improve their sleep quality. Both therapies focus on changing behaviors and patterns associated with sleep.00:35:16 - Changing Perspectives on Sleep Two important paradigms to consider when addressing insomnia are stopping clockwatching and understanding the difference between feeling sleepy and feeling tired. Clockwatching can worsen insomnia, while recognizing the feeling of sleepiness and only getting into bed when feeling that way can improve sleep quality.00:38:05 - Finding Therapists for Treating Insomnia and Nightmares Therapists who specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for insomnia can be found through sleep centers or online programs. However, finding therapists who practice Imagery Rehearsal Therapy may be more challenging. Military sleep centers often have mental health professionals trained in IRT due to the high prevalence of PTSD and nightmares among military personnel.00:48:02 - Gratitude for Sleep Expert, The host expresses gratitude for Dr. Krakow, an expert on sleep who has been working in the field for over 30 years.

She highlights the valuable information she has already learned from him and hopes that listeners will also find his insights helpful for improving their sleep and the sleep of their families.00:49:20 - Join the Difference Maker Community, The host invites listeners to join the Difference Maker community for extra content with Dr. Krakow and other experts. She emphasizes the importance of sleep and encourages everyone to spread the news about how to sleep better by sharing the episode with others.00:49:35 - Farewell and Gratitude, The host concludes the episode by thanking listeners and bidding farewell. She encourages everyone to have a great day and to continue making a difference in the world.When you treat somebody's sleep disorder, not only do they sleep better, but their mental health improves.

Join host Lori Adams-Brown on A World of Difference as she sits down with Dr. Lynn Cohick, a New Testament professor and author of "A Second Edition Dictionary of Paul in His Letters." Brown discusses Cohick's journey as a professor, her love for scriptures, and her contribution to including more women's voices in the conversation around Paul and Paul's letters. Cohick shares her project of creating a visual museum online for free access showcasing ancient artwork and sculptures that represent what women were doing in the ancient church. They also discuss how women played a large role in the formation of Christian theology and liturgy. The discussion moves to the challenges women face in male-dominated industries such as biblical studies, theology, and academia and how they have to work twice as hard as men to be perceived at the same level. Cohick encourages women to take risks and not be afraid to fail. They then discuss the importance of acknowledging gender stereotypes and biases and the need to break free from them.

This debut episode introduces The Leading Difference podcast, sharing its mission and purpose, along with logistics for format, frequency, and who you'll be hearing as featured guests. Interested in being a guest on the show or have feedback to share? Email us at podcast@velentium.com.    HOST: Lindsey Dinneen EDITOR: Tim Oliphant PRODUCER: Velentium  SHOW NOTES Episode 001 - Introduction to The Leading Difference Lindsey Dinneen: Hi, I'm Lindsey with Velentium and I'm talking with MedTech industry leaders on how they change lives for a better world. Diane Bouis: The inventions and technologies are fascinating and so are the people who work with them. Frank Jaskulke: There was a period of time where I realized, fundamentally, my job was to go hang out with really smart people that are saving lives and then do work that would help them save more lives. Diane Bouis: I got into the business to save lives and it is incredibly motivating to work with people who are in that same business, saving or improving lives. Duane Mancini: What better industry than where I get to wake up every day and just save people's lives. Lindsey Dinneen: These are extraordinary people doing extraordinary work, and this is The Leading Difference. Lindsey Dinneen: Hello and welcome to the very first episode of The Leading Difference. My name is Lindsey Dinneen, and I will be your podcast host, happily interviewing leaders in the MedTech industry who are changing lives for a better world. I'm excited to be bringing a differently angled podcast to the MedTech space. I'm interviewing extraordinary people to learn about who they are as people. What is their background? How did they get to where they are, and where do they plan to go from here? Most importantly, I want to know what attracted them to the MedTech industry specifically. I love hearing a wide variety of stories, conventional and unconventional, from an assortment of diverse perspectives. These people are making a profound difference, and I'm excited to learn why and how. As an outsider who came into the MedTech industry just two years ago, I was vaguely aware of an unjust stigma hovering over the industry: that of the folks who worked in it being primarily financially driven in their motivation to innovate. However, I have found that to be a pretty unfair assumption. I am so grateful to have gotten to meet some of the coolest, smartest, most respectful, curious, humble, and innovative people I've ever met in this industry. And their "why" stories are incredibly compelling. They're in this industry to make a living, of course, but much more importantly, they're here to make a difference. These are the stories I wanna share with the world. Here are the details of what to expect from The Leading Difference. You'll hear a wide variety of voices. I'm especially passionate about elevating people who don't always get to share their stories. The episodes will generally last about 30 minutes. We'll be releasing new episodes every two weeks on Fridays for a way to end your work week on a positive and inspiring note. You'll hear from CEOs, engineers, scientists, researchers, and more. If you ever wanted to get to know some of your favorite medtech leaders on a more personal level, now's your chance. I invite you to join me on this journey to discover what makes The Leading Difference. Lindsey Dinneen: The Leading Difference podcast is brought to you by Velentium.

Who do you know? When Be the Difference Podcast began, the goal was simple - highlight everyday people making the difference at their jobs, in their communities, and around the world.

In this episode, Chris and Sammy discuss a staggering statistic around childhood literacy.

Her work is a clarion call to redefine missions from charity giving to disciple making and justice seeking.In 2020 Mekdes created an online community “Just Missions” with the purpose of helping missionaries, receivers of missionaries and ministry leaders engage with one another on an open platform and discuss the harmful effects of western missions.The group gives westerners the chance to hear from the receivers of missions without the financial power dynamic that typically robs them from openly discussing the truth. Her hope is that these conversations will lead to a wholesome method of supporting and equipping local churches and their leaders without the focus being on the one who is sent but rather the ones God wants them to reach. Mekdes Haddis is the founder and executive coach of Just Missions, an online community that elevates diaspora voices and equips Western allies to become mutual partners for the work of the gospel.

Dr. Mullen is a world renowned expert on abuse in the church. He served ten years in pastoral ministry and then five years as a seminary M.Div. program director and assistant professor before transitioning to full-time research and writing, consulting, speaking, and advocacy. Wade earned a Ph.D. in Leadership Studies and completed a dissertation titled “Impression Management Strategies Used by Evangelical Organizations in the Wake of an Image-threatening Event.” You can get that dissertation for free https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rXrd8MYay5Vg5s7JXFx7S91hDTlm1CVX/view (here). He founded Pellucid Consulting in the Fall of 2021 to provide consulting and independent assessment services for institutions. He started a Substack Newsletter called https://wademullen.substack.com/ (Pellucid) in the Fall of 2021 where I write about the ways in which deception is used to abuse and cover up abuse and how leaders and institutions can act with integrity and speak truthfully. The content is free, but there are also paid options for those who want to support my work. He speaks on occasion at events related to the subject of abuse and institutional response and participates as a guest on podcasts. You can listen to the podcasts https://wadetmullen.com/interviews/ (here). He continues to engage in research efforts to better understand abuse within Christian cultures and institutions. I'm currently working on preparing a manuscript for a second book. He has also been serving when needed as an institutional response specialist with https://www.netgrace.org/ (GRACE) since 2020, assisting them primarily with institutional assessments. Wade's work in the local church first introduced him to the needs of abuse victims and the potential for institutional betrayal and trauma when those who are supposed to protect the victim(s) choose to protect the abuser(s). He also learned the challenge of advocating from within and how to confront the system when necessary.  His personal story is told in a profile piece by https://sojo.net/magazine/november-2019/how-we-let-abuse-thrive (Sojourner's Magazine) and in a talk he gave at the https://churchleaders.com/news/379648-wade-mullen-spiritual-abuse.html (Restore conference in Chicago).

November is here! This means many things, but for the Be the Difference Podcast, it means a month of new guests who bring their own stories and experiences in being the difference. It also means we are highlighting a new topic: voices in leadership! To kick off, Sammy and Chris meet with special guest, Beth Guckenberger, and ask for her insight on women in leadership and why it matters. Beth is co-executive Director of Back2Back Ministries, as well as an author and speaker who has long held leadership positions within the evangelical world. She is currently writing a new book about the very topic of women being used by God in leadership positions. In this episode, hear a little bit more about the heart behind this month's topic, why Beth's next book started as a secret between her and Jesus, and how her heart has grown and expanded on this topic. Hear words of encouragement as we engage in this conversation and who Beth's own examples of women in leadership are. And please join us throughout this month to hear from two other women who lead within their own spheres of influence and ministry, and how we can each support the women in our lives who are leading with grace and love.

Welcome to season two of Be the Difference! It's a new month, which means the Be the Difference Podcast is highlighting a new theme. In season two, Chris and Sammy will highlight one big question every month and dive into that question with our guests. October is here, and we are focusing on one big question - how can we be the difference in others' lives through art and creativity? Do you consider yourself creative? An artist? Is there a chance we're all more artistic than we give ourselves credit for? Chris and Sammy answer this question for themselves, discuss how art draws us into community, and how it always unlocks something new within us. This month, you will hear from two different special guests - Katie Guiliano and Brad Wise - two founders of creative endeavors who have designed their lives after being present through art. Join us this month as our co-hosts take part in creative, honest, vulnerable conversations about art, how it impacts the creator and those who engage with the creation. Together, all around the world, we are highlighting those who are being the difference. Join us.
