Sex is one of the most sensitive, and misunderstood, areas of marriage. When intimacy struggles go unspoken, couples often feel alone, ashamed, or disconnected. In Episode 273 of The Family Meeting Podcast, we talk honestly about the real sex struggles married couples face and how to move toward healing, connection, and God-honoring intimacy. This episode addresses issues many couples deal with quietly, including: One spouse wanting sex without emotional connection. A spouse with little or no desire for sex. How poor personal hygiene impacts attraction. Lust, pornography, and masturbation. Unmet sexual expectations and comparison to past relationships. Lingering memories of an ex. Premature ejaculation and performance anxiety. Difficulty climaxing due to overthinking or stress. Low self-esteem and its effect on intimacy. Rather than offering shame or quick fixes, this conversation focuses on understanding the roots, rebuilding emotional safety, and rediscovering intimacy as a gift meant to unite, not divide, married couples. If sex has become a source of tension, avoidance, pressure, or quiet pain in your marriage, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and biblical wisdom to help you take a healthier next step.

How should Christian faith shape work in an era of pluralism, fear, and systemic inequality? Sociologist Elaine Howard Ecklund (Rice University) is presenting new insights for faith at work through data, theology, and lived experience. "People love to talk about individual ethics … but what was really hard for them to think about was, what would it mean to make our workplace better as a whole?" In this episode, Ecklund joins Mark Labberton to reflect on moving from individual morality toward systemic responsibility, dignity, and other-centred Christian witness at work. Together they discuss faith and work, the gender and race gaps created by systemic injustice, fear and power, religious diversity, rest and human limits, gender and racial marginalization, and the cost of a credible Christian witness. Episode Highlights "People love to talk about individual ethics." "What would it mean to make our workplace better as a whole?" "People are much more apt to take us seriously if we first take them seriously." "Suppression of faith in particular is not the answer." "God is God and I am not." About Elaine Howard Ecklund Elaine Howard Ecklund is professor of sociology at Rice University and director of the Boniuk Institute for the Study and Advancement of Religious Tolerance. She is a leading sociologist of religion, science, and work whose research examines how faith operates in professional and institutional life. Ecklund has led large-scale empirical studies on religion in workplaces and scientific communities, supported by the National Science Foundation, Templeton Foundation, and Lilly Endowment. She is the author or co-author of several influential books, including Working for Better, Why Science and Faith Need Each Other, and Science vs. Religion.

It's funny how becoming a parent instantly makes you care more about stuff. As a child, I used to find it really embarrassing when my Dad would yell out at cars that were driving too fast. Now, I'm that guy. Every time a car hoons up our street, I want to scream at the driver. Sometimes I do. “There are kids here, you tosser!” My values in education have very much sharpened since becoming parent. My views on kids and smart phones have only intensified. And as Australia's world-leading ban on social media for under-16s comes into effect, I'm fascinated to see what's going to happen. I really, really dislike social media. I think what was initially sold to the world as a way for people to connect has morphed into something far more cynical. The likes of Facebook know they maximise profits by keeping people scrolling. And while once upon a time when you were on Facebook or Instagram, you'd mainly be seeing pictures of your friends, the various platforms have all worked out that nothing keeps people scrolling for longer than making them really angry. For all of the relatively harmless accounts, cat videos, and people making creative or funny content, the net effect has been poisonous. The platforms that were meant to connect us have done the opposite. They have isolated and divided us. I said last year on this show that social media platforms should be subject to better regulation (not to mention proper taxation!) and that at the very least, we should be considering Australia's social media stance. But for those of us who nerd out on public policy, the actual design of Australia's legislation has underscored why this is such a tricky issue to legislate. It comes down to the definition: What is social media? Even though they can try and work to a common set of standards, ultimately someone needs to make a judgement call. So while Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok have been banned, Discord doesn't yet face the same restrictions. There are thousands of different platforms and sites where young people can still post and interact. YouTube has argued it isn't social media at all. You can still access many videos without an account. And Reddit is taking legal action arguing that its platform is totally different to many of the others. Teenagers are industrious. You try and play whack-a-mole and ban every new platform that pops up, but obviously some of them will find ways around the law, just as anyone who got their hands on alcohol or cigarettes before their 18th birthday will attest. But supporters of the law say that's actually a good analogy. No one is suggesting the ban is going to stop every last kid from accessing social media. But it generally makes it more difficult. Truthfully, I don't know how effective this law is going to be. I understand the impulse to want to protect children. I was a big supporter of banning phones in schools and I think unregulated social media has been disastrous. But this is super complex. I think the sensible thing for New Zealand to do is to take six months or a year. Learn from the Aussies, and then make a call. And even if we do act in the future, just as with booze or cigarettes, the state can only do so much. Easy to say this now, perhaps. Come back to me when my kids are a bit older! But the primary responsibility for keeping kids safe in the digital age cannot fall to governments or legislators... the responsibility is with us, parents.

Every family has an origin story—and it's not always the one told at holidays. In this episode, Tony explores the fascinating concept of the butterfly effect and how it applies to family systems. From a scientist's obsession with Gila monster saliva that led to Ozempic, to a wrong turn that ignited World War I, small moments can create massive ripples. But what happens when the butterfly in your family isn't an event—it's a person? Through the story of "Uncle Ray," Tony unpacks how one emotionally overwhelmed parent can set patterns that echo for decades, and how family roles—the helper, the peacekeeper, the fixer, the scapegoat—get assigned long before we're even aware of them. You'll learn about the patterns of emotional immaturity (black-and-white thinking, mind reading, magical thinking, and more) and how they show up in everyday family dynamics. Most importantly, Tony shares the hopeful truth: the butterfly effect works both ways. One person's dysfunction can ripple through generations—but so can one person's healing. If you've ever wondered how to break cycles in your own family or show up differently this holiday season, this episode is for you. 00:00 Introduction: Family Dynamics and Roles 01:05 The Butterfly Effect in Families 03:02 Crossover Episode: Emotional Immaturity and Family Systems 04:36 The Butterfly Effect: Scientific Examples 10:02 The Butterfly Effect in Family Systems 14:33 Uncle Ray: The Catalyst of Chaos 23:25 Pathological Kindness: Janet's Role 27:39 Emotional Immaturity: Patterns and Consequences 33:10 Black and White Thinking 33:40 Mind Reading and Assumed Intent 34:28 Difficulty with Accountability 35:39 Emotional Reasoning 36:35 External Validation Dependence 37:58 Magical Thinking 39:03 Managing Other People's Emotions 40:40 The Butterfly Effect in Family Dynamics 41:15 Curiosity and Emotional Maturity 43:28 Reconnecting with Uncle Dave 51:30 The Impact of Family Systems 55:55 The Cost of Emotional Immaturity 58:25 Breaking the Cycle 58:45 Setting Boundaries and Responding Differently 01:02:38 Hope and Creating Positive Ripples Contact Tony at contact@tonyoverbay.com to learn more about his Emotional Architects men's group.

What do you do when someone in your family needs drama to feel alive? In this crossover episode, Tony dives deep into the anatomy of emotional immaturity through the story of "Uncle Ray"—a family member whose constant need for conflict, grievance, and the "one-up position" sent shockwaves through an entire family system. Tony breaks down the key patterns of emotional immaturity you'll recognize: black-and-white thinking, assumed intent without curiosity, difficulty with accountability, emotional reasoning ("I feel it, so it must be true"), external validation dependence, magical thinking, and the exhausting game of "whack-a-mole" that comes with trying to have a conversation with someone who's looking for attack surfaces rather than connection. You'll also learn about "pathological kindness"—the breakup-resistant dynamic that keeps enablers locked in relationships with emotionally immature people—and how these patterns get passed down through generations. Tony traces Uncle Ray's patterns back to his mother's divorce and the emotional template that shaped him, showing how one grandmother's pain rippled forward into holiday traditions lost and family relationships fractured. If you have an Uncle Ray in your life, this episode offers clarity: you can't change them, but you can set boundaries, refuse triangulation, grieve the family you wished you had, and become the catalyst for a different kind of ripple in your own family system. 00:00 Introduction: Family Dynamics and Roles 01:05 The Butterfly Effect in Families 03:02 Crossover Episode: Emotional Immaturity and Family Systems 04:36 The Butterfly Effect: Scientific Examples 10:02 The Butterfly Effect in Family Systems 14:33 Uncle Ray: The Catalyst of Chaos 23:25 Pathological Kindness: Janet's Role 27:39 Emotional Immaturity: Patterns and Consequences 33:10 Black and White Thinking 33:40 Mind Reading and Assumed Intent 34:28 Difficulty with Accountability 35:39 Emotional Reasoning 36:35 External Validation Dependence 37:58 Magical Thinking 39:03 Managing Other People's Emotions 40:40 The Butterfly Effect in Family Dynamics 41:15 Curiosity and Emotional Maturity 43:28 Reconnecting with Uncle Dave 51:30 The Impact of Family Systems 55:55 The Cost of Emotional Immaturity 58:25 Breaking the Cycle 58:45 Setting Boundaries and Responding Differently 01:02:38 Hope and Creating Positive Ripples Contact Tony at contact@tonyoverbay.com to learn more about his Emotional Architects men's group.

Gospel Luke 21:34-36 Jesus said to his disciples: "Beware that your hearts do not become drowsy from carousing and drunkenness and the anxieties of daily life, and that day catch you by surprise like a trap. For that day will assault everyone who lives on the face of the earth. Be vigilant at all times and pray that you have the strength to escape the tribulations that are imminent and to stand before the Son of Man.” Reflection One of the gifts of the Holy Spirit is full consciousness. Understanding the nature of life, understanding the nature of the Kingdom. It is always going to include things that are destructive seemingly, and that they are dangerous and destructive to us. And we have to be ready to understand that that's part of the process. Other times it's everything is working and we're filled with gratitude. That's part of the process. So always we need to be vigilant. Everything has its purpose. Everything has its time and always the intention of the God who created us and allows our life to be what it is, is because of his love. Closing Prayer Father, everything has its place. Everything is for us, no matter what it is. Difficulty. Pain. Joy. Enthusiasm. Help us to stay with you in all that you offer us, so we truly can grow in the Kingdom of God. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The U.S. Constitution likely would not have been ratified in 1788 without Article 5, which allowed for amendment. Many of the original founders championed the idea that the document would need to change as the country changed. As historian Jill Lepore points out in her newest book most of the 27 amendments to the constitution have happened just after times of war or conflict, and after 33 years without an amendment, we may be headed that way again. OPB’s Geoff Norcross speaks to Lepore in front of an audience at the 2025 Portland Book Festival about “We the People: A history of the U.S. Constitution.”

Él había creído en la promesa de Dios, de que pondría a su pueblo en posesión de la tierra de Canaán, y en esto había seguido fielmente al Señor. Había sobrellevado con su pueblo la larga peregrinación por el desierto, y compartido las desilusiones y las cargas de los culpables; no obstante, no se quejó de eso, sino que ensalzó la misericordia de Dios que le había guardado en el desierto cuando sus hermanos eran eliminados. En medio de las penurias, los peligros y las plagas de las peregrinaciones en el desierto, durante los años de guerra desde que entraron en Canaán, el Señor le había guardado; y ahora que tenía más de 80 años su vigor no había disminuido. No pidió una tierra ya conquistada, sino el sitio que por sobre todos los demás los espías habían considerado imposible de subyugar. Con la ayuda de Dios, quería arrebatar aquella fortaleza de manos de los mismos gigantes cuyo poder había hecho tambalear la fe de Israel. Al hacer su petición no fue movido Caleb por el deseo de conseguir honores o engrandecimiento. El valiente y viejo guerrero deseaba dar al pueblo un ejemplo que honrara a Dios, y alentar a las tribus para que subyugaran completamente la tierra que sus padres habían considerado inconquistable” (Elena de White, Patriarcas y profetas, pp. 547, 548). “Fue la fe de Caleb en Dios lo que le dio valor, lo mantuvo alejado del temor humano y lo capacitó para mantenerse audaz e inquebrantablemente en defensa de lo recto. Al confiar en el mismo poder, el poderoso General de los ejércitos del Cielo, todo verdadero soldado de la cruz puede recibir fortaleza y valor para vencer los obstáculos que parecen insuperables” (Elena de White, “How to Meet Trial and Difficulty”, Review and Herald, 30 de mayo de 1912, p. 4). PREGUNTAS PARA DIALOGAR:1. Analiza el poder de la presión grupal y el valor que se necesita para hablar cuando otros no lo hacen. ¿Cuál es el papel de la valentía en la práctica de nuestra fe? ¿Cómo podemos evitar ser groseros mientras defendemos lo que creemos que es correcto? 2. Comparte en tu clase ejemplos de fe de algunos integrantes de tu iglesia o comunidad que hayan moldeado tu vida y tu carácter. ¿Cuáles son los rasgos de estas personas que vale la pena imitar? 3. Piensa y dialoga con los miembros de tu clase acerca de la influencia que los medios de comunicación tienen en nuestra vida. ¿Cómo podemos evitar su efecto negativo y, al mismo tiempo, aprovechar su potencial para los buenos propósitos? 4. Reflexiona más acerca de la humildad de Josué como líder y su deseo de vivir cerca del Santuario. ¿De qué manera te habla su ejemplo?

Could your daily frustrations actually be pointing you toward your next purpose?Dr. Matt Jones shares his remarkable journey through what he calls a "triple transition"—moving his family from Chicago to Denver, leaving his medical career, and launching towlos, a peer-to-peer trailer sharing marketplace. His parents taught him not to feel boxed in by expectations. That courage serves him still. Matt reveals the power of a "frustration journal" that transforms daily annoyances into entrepreneurial opportunities. "Difficulty doesn't mean bad," he reminds us. His story challenges the belief that life must always go "up and to the right," showing how curiosity and authenticity can lead to unexpected fulfillment.Dr. Matt Jones is a former orthopedic surgeon turned entrepreneur and founder of towlos, a peer-to-peer trailer sharing marketplace connecting trailer owners with renters across the U.S. After completing his residency at the University of Arizona and sports medicine fellowship at UCLA, he practiced orthopedic surgery for a decade in Indiana and Chicago. In 2021, Matt made the bold pivot from medicine to full-time entrepreneurship. Since 2023, he's also served as Managing Partner at AJM Development. He lives in Denver with his wife and three children, where they enjoy the Rocky Mountains and active outdoor adventures.About The Show: The Life in Transition, hosted by Art Blanchford focuses on making the most of the changes we're given every week. Art has been through hundreds of transitions in his life. Many have been difficult, but all have led to a depth and richness he could never have imagined. On the podcast Art explores how to create more love and joy in life, no matter what transitions we go through.

China's Tech Espionage and the Difficulty of Reverse Engineering Advanced Chip Tools. Chris Riegel discusses how TSMC and ASML technology face constant threats from Chinese industrial espionage. ASML's chipmaking tools are highly complex, making reverse engineering nearly impossible. Europe is waking up to the risks; recently, the Dutch government seized China-owned chipmaker Nexperia. China is estimated to be two to three years behind US high-end chip technology and requires access to advanced ASML tools to catch up.

Cliff May explains how the Gaza ceasefire focuses on the return of hostages, with 19 (including two Americans) still unaccounted for. Hamas is suspected of withholding hostages to retain bargaining power and resist relinquishing political control in phase two of the peace plan. Rhetoric about regional forces disarming Hamas is dismissed. May notes that in the Middle East, there are only permanent battles, viewing the current truce as a hudna, allowing jihadists to regroup and rearm. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 US Escalates Pressure on Maduro Following Machado's Nobel Prize. Evan Ellis discusses how, following the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to opposition leader María Corina Machado, the US escalated pressure on Venezuela. President Trump authorized CIA operations, coupled with naval deployments and B-52 overflights, to pressure the Maduro regime. The goal is triggering a tipping point where Maduro's inner circle calculates that leaving is preferable to facing US action. Separately, Peru's President Boluarte was ousted due to corruption and the nation's struggle with extreme urban violence and illegal mining. 1015-1030 US Escalates Pressure on Maduro Following Machado's Nobel Prize.

THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Iran's Women-Led Uprising: Origins, Brutality, and Defiance. Nilo Tabrizy discusses how the Iranian women-led uprising, detailed in For the Sun After Long Nights, was triggered by the 2022 murder of Mahsa Amini by the morality police. The slogan "Woman, Life, Freedom" (Zan, Zendegi, Azadi) is the rallying cry. The regime's brutality is severe, suppressing protests through executions. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) acts as an octopus, maintaining control across society. Defiance continues today, demonstrated by women actively ignoring state-mandated dress codes. 1115-1130 Iran's Women-Led Uprising: Origins, Brutality, and Defiance.

FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 US Military Pressure Campaigns Maduro Amid Silence from Regional Allies. Mary Anastasia O'Grady explains how Venezuela's illegitimate leader, Maduro, faces escalating pressure from the US, including a Navy flotilla, B-52 flights, and authorized CIA operations. The goal is to compel Maduro and his generals, who profit from transnational crime, to flee. The silence from traditional allies like Russia and China suggests they lack political justification to defend Maduro's record. However, Mexico's president offered no comment regarding Nobel Peace Prize winner María Corina Machado, reflecting leftist sympathies. 1215-1230 Tariffs Harm Consumers, Reduce Hiring, and Cause Customs Backlogs. Veronique De Rugy explains how tariffs are costing American consumers and businesses over 80% of the expense, leading to higher prices and reduced corporate margins. The tariff policy is harming the job market, causing 40% of CEOs to pause hiring and investments. Customs authorities are overwhelmed by the volume of small packages now requiring assessment, causing significant backlogs and lost goods for consumers. Special interests are expanding the tariff application to derivative products, such as peanut butter packaged in metal containers. 1230-1245 Russia Debates Orbit and Costs for Post-ISS Space Station. Anatoly Zak explains how Roscosmos faces a debate over the orbit of its new space station: a low-inclination 51-degree orbit or a more expensive near-polar orbit. The polar orbit offers strategic Arctic observation but increases radiation risk and reduces payload capacity. Economic realities may push Roscosmos toward the cheaper 51-degree orbit, possibly using existing ISS infrastructure, to ensure an operational station for cosmonauts by 2031. 1245-100 AM Russia Debates Orbit and Costs for Post-ISS Space Station.
