In this episode of Reimagine Childhood, Monica Healer, the host, offers a heartfelt discussion aimed at early childhood educators, focusing on how personal growth in wisdom, physical well-being, and faith can impact their teaching and caregiving roles. Drawing from Luke 2:52, Monica emphasizes the continuous journey of learning, the importance of physical care, and the necessity of deepening one's relationship with God. She shares practical strategies for daily reflection, self-care, and spiritual development, encouraging educators to seek God's guidance, nourish their bodies, and strengthen their faith. Ending with a reminder of the eternal impact educators have on children and their communities, Monica provides actionable steps to grow in wisdom, stature, and favor with God and man in the coming year. 00:00 Introduction to Reimagine Childhood 01:01 A Different Kind of Episode 01:41 Growing in Wisdom 04:39 Taking Care of Your Physical Body 10:26 Nurturing Your Relationship with God 16:50 Growing in Favor with Man 20:39 Final Encouragement and Farewell

In this Christmas-themed episode, Renee Swanson explores the impact of covert narcissism on personal relationships, particularly during the holiday season. Using the metaphor of the Grinch, she discusses how covert narcissists can subtly steal joy, anticipation, and traditions, leaving individuals feeling hollow and anxious. However, she emphasizes the importance of community and reclaiming one's truth, integrity, and peace, encouraging listeners to recognize their strength and the joy that can still exist despite past trauma. Takeaways: Humor grounded in truth can be healing. Covert narcissists often appear friendly but drain joy. They steal emotional peace rather than physical items. Anticipation for joyful events can turn into dread. Community support is crucial for healing. Your truth and integrity remain intact despite abuse. Healing is a personal journey that can be complicated. Recognizing patterns of abuse brings clarity. Peace belongs to the present, not the past. Christmas can be redefined on your own terms.

Hit Play ⏯️ WHAT TO EXPECT within your YEAR of ORACLE READINGS!Beloved, As we close 2025 and complete a nine-year cycle, it's time for new beginnings. I always say to my clients - “not your experience, not your truth.” It's easy to live in self doubt and “compare and despair” when you see others that have a clear “channel' and inner sense of confident knowing and peace.It is a presence cultivated from the inside out - but requires self comtiment, self love and not taking life so damn personal. This inner knowing is your constant state and destiny when you accept the invitation on this LAST DAY of celebrating one year of unlimited readings.Collectively, as our inner power expands, it collapses the old matrix and our inner resilience evolves as we see the lies as they become prevalent. We're about to enter a TRUE GOLDEN ERA (you just cannot see it - YET).

 “The Word became flesh.” God has made Himself known by becoming human. John does not say the Word appeared human or visited for a while. He says the Word became flesh. When John says, “the Word”, he means God himself, His voice, His message, His heart. And then he says something extraordinary: the Word became flesh. Not a story. Not an idea. Not a dream. God became a real human being. He breathed our air. He walked our roads. He knew what it was like to be tired, hungry, joyful, and sad. God didn't stay far away. He came close. He made His dwelling among us. The phrase means to pitch a tent. It echoes the tabernacle in the wilderness, where God lived among His people and met with Moses face to face. What the tent pointed to has now arrived. God has chosen to live with His people again, not in a place, but in a person. If we want to know what God is like, we look at Jesus. 

Your coach isn't your bestie. And that's a good thing. When you admit your marriage is in trouble, you need love that sees your blind spots, challenges your excuses, and won't let you settle. I share a Q&A moment where a woman wanted a pep talk about reconciling while still in an affair. I paused and chose the truth: “I could make you feel better, but I kind of don't want to.” I called her higher, named the avoidance, and laid out her real choices: end the affair and give the marriage your all release the marriage and see where the affair goes keep lying until it blows up That's the love I offer as a coach: I hold up the mirror and walk beside you while you do the hard, honest work. Because “when someone pushes you to be better, it's not criticism. It's an act of love.” Struggling to decide whether to stay or go in your marriage and you're serious about finding that answer? Book a Truth & Clarity Session with a member of my team. We'll discuss where you are in your marriage and explore if there's a fit for you and I to work together so you can make - and execute - the RIGHT decision for YOU and your marriage.

Christmas is a magical, busy season of joy and celebration. It's so easy to get caught up in all the festivities and excitement that we don't pause long enough to consider what the Christmas story is actually about.  Because if you look closely, the story of Christ's birth challenges our assumptions about power, generosity, status, and what it actually means to reflect the heart of God.  The nativity isn't merely a sentimental moment; it is God intentionally choosing the margins, stepping into human vulnerability, and redefining what greatness looks like.  And if we let it, that truth forces us to ask harder questions about the way we show up for others, especially the overlooked, the lonely, and the forgotten. The first Christmas wasn't designed around abundance, convenience, or comfort. It unfolded in obscurity, among shepherds no one valued, in a manger no one wanted, to a young woman no one expected.  And the people who recognized Jesus first weren't the powerful. They were the poor, the humble, the ones most longing for God to break into their story.  Christmas, then, isn't about what we receive; it's about what we can give. How do we let the generosity of God shape the generosity we extend? Beyond celebrating Emmanuel, how do we embody Emmanuel for others?  In this episode, I'm joined by Rev. Dr. Emily Gierer, a pastor, educator, and spiritual leader who has spent nearly two decades guiding students, families, and faith communities.  Together, we explore why the true meaning of Christmas has far less to do with tradition…and far more to do with transformation.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  God's Upside-Down Kingdom God chooses shepherds, not kings, to receive the first announcement of Christ's birth. What does that tell us about the kind of people God notices first? Generosity Was Never Meant to Be Comfortable The incarnation is the ultimate act of sacrificial giving. How does Jesus' costly example redefine the way we think about giving our time, resources, and talents? Why Loneliness Intensifies During Christmas "God with us" is not poetic language; it's God stepping into human fear, abandonment, and suffering. What would it look like to embody that same presence for someone who feels unseen this season? How to Teach Children a Different Kind of Christmas Kids are shaped more by what we model than what we say. How do families train children to value compassion over accumulation in a culture obsessed with getting?   About the Guest Rev. Dr. Emily Gierer serves as the co-Lead Pastor of St. Timothy's Church in Storrs, Connecticut, where she guides worship, preaches regularly, disciples students, and develops spiritual formation initiatives. With a Ph.D. from the University of Connecticut, a Master of Divinity from Yale Divinity School, and a Doctor of Ministry from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, Emily has almost two decades of pastoral leadership and campus ministry experience at the University of Connecticut. In addition to her pastoral work, Emily teaches in the English Department at the University of Connecticut, offering courses in American literature, women's literature, and Biblical literature.  Together with Dr. Jana Holiday, she will also launch and co-lead Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary's new Doctor of Ministry track, Women in Leadership, beginning in July 2027. Emily and her husband, Vince, live and minister in Connecticut with their two young daughters.

As we celebrate five years of the Healing Medicine podcast, this episode is a reflection on what has truly sustained us—intention, alignment, and choosing with awareness.  Together, we explore how consistency rooted in love, not obligation, leads to energy, creativity, and sustainability. We share personal stories about letting go, taking pauses, and returning to what feels alive.  This conversation is also a joyful announcement: our Connect in Nature Retreat is returning July 30–August 2, 2026. It's a decision made not out of expectation, but because we missed it, and because we chose it again. Whether you're feeling weary from "pushing through" or simply curious about a gentler way to stay committed, this episode offers a new lens and a powerful invitation to rechoose, realign, and return to yourself.     Pearls of Wisdom: Sustainability isn't about willpower, it's about choosing with presence and letting alignment lead. Feelings of resistance or resentment are gentle cues to pause, reevaluate, and possibly release. Healing happens when we release the pressure to perform and give ourselves permission to rest and evolve. Fun, ease, and joy aren't frivolous, they are wise signals of what's truly aligned. Spaciousness, non-judgment, and collaboration support the longevity of meaningful work.     Reflection Questions: Where in your life are you being consistent by force, rather than by choice? What would it feel like to choose instead of push? Which commitments feel alive and which might be asking for a pause, a shift, or a graduation? Where could more lightness or joy gently be welcomed in?   Why Connect in Nature is a Different Kind of Retreat Connect in Nature is unlike any other retreat I offer. It is the only opportunity to work in person with both Dr. Ni-Cheng Liang and Dr. Jessie Mahoney. It's intentionally designed for healers, physicians, and wellness professionals who crave a reset rooted in nature, mindfulness, and joy. Held at the Green Gulch Zen Center just north of San Francisco, you'll be surrounded by eucalyptus groves, redwoods, gardens, and the quiet beauty of the California coast. Here's what makes it special: Nature as co-teacher: Forest bathing, beach meditation, and fog hikes support nervous system healing. Freedom to choose: All practices are optional and guided with non-judgment—you participate in what serves you. Spaciousness: Core retreat hours are 10:30–3:30, with optional morning offerings and space for rest, reflection, or local exploration. Inclusive and welcoming: Open to all genders and professions—bring a partner, a colleague, a friend, or come solo. Choose your own lodging at local inns, allowing for private rest and personal integration. This retreat isn't about pushing yourself. It's about letting nature and mindfulness gently bring you home. Join us July 30–August 2, 2026 at Green Gulch Zen Center.   And yes—it's over my birthday weekend, and there's no better way to celebrate than in community, in nature, and in joy.

Joseph shows us a path to welcoming the Christ child beyond the standards of the world.

Pastor Matt Horsfall

In A Different Kind of Love, Pastor Will reflects on Matthew's Christmas story, showing love that isn't sentimental or perfect. Through Joseph's choice and God's first move, we see Emmanuel—God with us—entering life's mess. This love comes close, protects, forgives, and meets us in confusion, fear, and unfinished lives, inviting us to receive God's presence as we are.

It's Christmastime again—and somehow life feels louder, faster, and crazier than ever. The shopping lists. The pressure. The hurry. The sense that this season we're supposed to savor just keeps flying by. Every December, we celebrate the most important birth in the history of Creation…yet so often we blink, and suddenly it's January. In this episode of the Impactus podcast, Dean sits down with pastor and best-selling author Rich Villodas to explore how Advent invites us to slow down, breathe, and re-center our lives on Jesus. Through the lens of his brand-new book, Waiting for Jesus: An Advent Invitation to Prayer and Renewal, Rich offers a refreshing path back to peace and purpose this busy holiday season. Together, Dean and Rich explore how the practices of Advent—waiting, contemplation, prayer, and peacemaking—can ground us in the story of Christ, rather than the chaos of our cultural consumerism. Whether you're walking through joy or grief this season, Advent reminds us that hope is not just an idea—it's a Person. Settle in for a meaningful, timely, and deeply encouraging Christmas conversation with Dean and Rich!

Craig Okpala

Pastor Will explores a different kind of Christmas joy—one deeper than lights and cheer. Acknowledging grief, doubt, and weariness, he points to Isaiah 35 and John the Baptist to show joy breaking in amid hardship. Jesus offers joy that welcomes questions, notices God's quiet work, and joins in restoring lives, even when circumstances don't change, during Advent and everyday faith.

Just five per cent of people with a learning difference are in paid work, something highlighted by the recent case of Tom Boyd, who was let go by Morrisons after his family asked that he be paid for his work. That case spurred Liz Warner, a former CEO of Comic Relief, into action. Because the same thing had happened to her son and, we can all agree, needs to stop happening. Liz is launching a new initiative in the new year aimed to double the amount of people with a learning difference in paid work, so Hannah got on the Zoom to find out more.

In our final episode of Season 4, The Best Biome team discusses the state of grasslands conservation in the current year (and what an eventful year it has been). We discuss the most significant threats and daunting challenges that we'll need to meet head on to protect our underappreciated and overlooked ecosystems. Topics include rollbacks to the Endangered Species Act, attacks on research funding, extraction on public lands, the truth behind grazing leases, and much, much more. Of course, we have plenty of good news to share as well! Join us as we bid 2025 farewell and get ready for whatever next year will bring.

In a world that feels anything but peaceful, the prophet Micah reminds us that God's peace isn't found in calm circumstances, but in the presence of Jesus. We hope you will be encouraged.

Pastor Will continues A Different Kind of Christmas by exploring Isaiah's vision of new life growing from a stump—reminding us that God brings peace where life feels cut down. Pointing to Jesus as the promised shoot, he invites anyone feeling stressed, grieving, or overwhelmed this season to receive Christ's deeper peace that grows even in hard places and unexpected seasons.

The Last Sunday after Pentecost: Christ the King. Christ the King Sunday asks us to take a final look back before Advent begins. But the King we celebrate is nothing like the rulers of this world. In Luke's Gospel, Jesus is crowned not with gold but with suffering love — serving, healing, reconciling, and welcoming all as friends and children of God. His Kingdom isn't a place we wait for; it's a way of living the love already within us.

Are you carrying more weight than you need to? As single mothers, we often pride ourselves on our ability to handle everything alone, but what if that very strength is also our greatest burden?In this powerful audio exploration, I share something extraordinary that happened when I used Google's NotebookLM to analyze a single page from my devotional "Courage to Believe: 21 Day Devotional For Single Moms." The AI created an insightful breakdown of my message to single moms about finding sustainable strength while learning to release unnecessary burdens.This isn't just another "you've got this" pep talk. We're examining the profound tension between the determination that defines us and the overwhelming responsibility that threatens to crush us. The analysis reveals how our quiet strength - that consistent ability to show up day after day - can be both our superpower and our prison.The Weight We CarryThrough the lens of AI interpretation, we explore why the advice "don't give up" resonates so deeply with single mothers, yet why willpower alone eventually leads to burnout. The discussion reveals how our burdens extend far beyond immediate problems to include our wants, dreams, and aspirations - creating an exhausting mental load that cuts into our peace like grocery bag handles digging into our hands.A Different Kind of StrengthWhat emerges is a revolutionary approach to resilience: the courage to maintain our determination while actively choosing to release what we cannot control. This dual strategy combines scriptural wisdom with practical psychology, offering a roadmap for those who refuse to give up but desperately need relief.The grocery bag analogy presented here will change how you think about burden-bearing forever. Sometimes the strongest thing we can do is let someone else carry the load.What You'll DiscoverHere are 5 key insights you can expect from this episode:Why "quiet strength" is more sustainable than aggressive resilienceThe difference between carrying burdens and managing outcomes How to identify which "wants" are weighing you down unnecessarilyThe active choice required to maintain relief once you find itA practical framework for persistent surrender instead of persistent struggleThis AI-generated analysis of Courage To Believe: 21 Day Devotional For Single Moms, offers a fascinating mirror into the heart of single motherhood - revealing truths about our strength that we might not even recognize ourselves. It's a glimpse into how technology can help us understand our own experiences in new and profound ways.But the analysis also helped me realize that I'm on the right track with this book.https://solomomstalk.mysites.io/podcast-2-copy/solo-mother-quiet-strength-and-burden-reliefThis podcast is hosted by Captivate, try it yourself for free.This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy

In this episode, Josh Dahlke breaks down one of the most unique rifle suppressors to hit the market: the brand-new AC30 B.O.B. from Savage. Unlike traditional muzzle-mounted suppressors, the AC30 B.O.B. (Back-Over-Barrel) partially encloses the barrel—creating added internal volume, improving balance, and delivering impressive sound suppression without stacking unnecessary length onto your rifle. Josh dives into what makes this design different, why it matters for hunters, and how a suppressor like B.O.B. can elevate your shooting experience in the field. If you're a gear-focused hunter or shooter looking for cutting-edge innovation, this episode gives you a clear, no-nonsense look at Savage's latest breakthrough.

Pastor Will explores how Advent invites hope amid holiday pressure, grief, and global uncertainty. Looking to Isaiah 2, he shows that God offers a future shaped not by fear but by peace, transformation, and shared journey. Hope grows as we walk together, learn from God, and let God reshape our hearts—taking small steps toward the light even when the world feels dark.

The film of this story won four Oscars in 2018. Daniel's 2023 novel Whalefall is being turned into a 20th Century Fox motion picture, and I hope that at some point his latest novel, Angel Down, will also be on film.  Both the premise and writing in Angel Down are unique. It is the story of a group of World War I soldiers told to go into No Man's Land to rescue what they think is a wounded soldier. What they find is an angel.

They said, “He saved others; let him save himself if he is God’s Messiah, the Chosen One.” The soldiers also came up and mocked him. They offered him wine vinegar and said, “If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself.” Luke 23:35-37 A Different Kind of King When people think of a king, most people immediately conjure up the image of a big, strapping man with a crown on his head, sitting on a majestic throne, and living in a palace. To say that a man has a kingly appearance does not suggest weakness; instead, it implies strength, power, and majesty. So, is it any wonder that the people standing near the cross of Jesus did what they did, knowing that Jesus and his disciples had openly claimed that he was the Messiah, the Chosen One, the King of all kings? They sneered and mocked him, and apparently for good reason. After all, they could see his beaten and bloodied body nailed to a cross. They could hear him gasping for his final breaths. They could hear him crying out in agony. To their physical eyes, there was nothing kingly in his appearance at all. But to the eyes of faith, Jesus’ appearance on that bloody cross makes perfect sense. After all, it’s exactly what the Lord had urged his faithful people to watch for as they waited eagerly for the Messiah, their Savior, to appear. Seven hundred years earlier, the prophet Isaiah had said of him, “He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.” (Isaiah 53:2-3). If anyone has ever matched this description, it’s Jesus. This is a truly kingly appearance because Jesus is a different kind of King. What makes him different? He’s not interested in appearances. He’s interested in saving his people. He’s interested in saving you. And that’s what he’s done. Perfectly. On the cross. Prayer: Dear Jesus, help me to see you as the powerful and gracious King of kings that you are. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

How Daily Habits Transformed His 36-Year Marriage: Harvey's Story Marriage is holy work. Maybe you're reading this today because you're hoping your marriage will change. Maybe you're reading this because you've prayed, "Lord, please help my marriage," when really you mean "Lord, please help my spouse!" I hope this blog and episode will make you feel both comforted and inspired — that you'll be reminded your marriage can change, not by grand gestures or perfect communication, but by small, faithful, daily habits of love. This is what Harvey discovered as well. That it wasn't grand gestures or big sweeping shifts that changed his marriage, but small, daily, consistent habits that brought it God's love, peace, and patience into his marriage. Changing Your Priorities: When Hard Work is Leading to Disconnect Harvey and his wife have been married nearly 37 years. Together, they raised four kids and built a life on their dairy farm. For decades, he worked two full-time jobs—teaching high school by day and farming by night. He says, "Every day was between 12 to 16 hours. My wife was incredibly supportive, but I just wasn't there emotionally." Maybe you can relate. Life's responsibilities pile up, and before you know it, years have passed. You're functioning—but not really connecting. Despite his faith and commitment, Harvey admits that emotional and spiritual intimacy were missing. He wanted closeness, but didn't know how to get there. A Different Kind of Prayer—and a Different Kind of Growth After retiring from teaching, Harvey finally had space to seek help. He'd been listening to our podcast for years and decided it was time to join Masculinity Reclaimed, our men's program. The first surprise? It wasn't about changing his wife! It was about learning to love her the way Christ loves the Church. He started with one habit: daily time with God. Reading Scripture. Praying. Reflecting. And eventually, he began praying with his wife in the mornings—a completely new rhythm in their 36 years together. That quiet time, over coffee and prayer, became a beautiful and cherished time for emotional connection. The Turning Point: Accepting Your Wife as She Is Halfway through the program, Harvey realized that for years, he had been looking at his wife through the lens of what she wasn't. She wasn't this, she wasn't that... But when he stopped trying to change her and started accepting her for who she is, the woman he fell in love with, the woman she had always been, rather than who he hoped she might someday become–everything began to shift. That acceptance made her feel safe. Seen. Loved. And when a woman feels safe, her heart opens. His wife began to blossom before his very eyes and the connection Harvey had longed for finally began to grow. The Habits That Build a Marriage Here's the truth: marriage is a system of habits. Paul says, if you're married, you will have trouble. (1 Corinthians 7:28) You'll have to think about how to please your spouse. (1 Corinthians 7:34) Are you in the habit of thinking about your spouse? Are you in the habit of considering them and putting them first? Are you in the habit of encouraging, loving, praying, and serving them? It's not always easy work — but it is good work. Every word, every look, every morning prayer can help build connection. That's why transformation doesn't happen overnight. It happens in the daily choices. Final Thoughts Friends, you don't have to wait to start changing your marriage. Harvey shared with us, "I wish I had learned these things earlier in my marriage." We want that for you as well!  You don't have to wait to retire or for your kids to be out of the house. You don't have to wait to be a certain age or have been married a certain number of years. You can start investing in your marriage now, today, to say that the next 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 years of marriage were incredible. That is what we want for you. And we know, that no matter where your marriage is at right now, it can change. Just ask Harvey. We are rooting for you and we know that we serve a God who makes all things new– and that includes marriages.   God bless you!   With love, The Delight Your Marriage Team   PS - If you're ready to take the next step and get into a community that knows what it's like and are doing the hard work themselves– we'd love to chat with you.

PPPS - Here is what another recent grad had to say about our program: "I've become more contented and patient and focused on [my wife's] needs and a better listener I think. She says our home has less tension since I've been doing the program. I take that as a win!"
