JB White opens the show on a reflective note, acknowledging the departure of Brad Zerbo and Abbey Blue Eyes from Badlands Media and expressing appreciation for their contributions. From there, JB pivots into a deeper discussion about the moment he believes the United States is currently facing and why discernment is essential when interpreting global events and commentary circulating online. The episode focuses heavily on how people analyze geopolitical conflict. JB argues that many commentators begin their analysis in the wrong place and that understanding the structure and capabilities of the United States military is fundamental to interpreting world events accurately. He emphasizes the importance of studying combatant commands, alliances, and military relationships when trying to determine which narratives are credible. Throughout the episode JB returns to the theme that the United States is operating from a position of strength and that many predictions about the decline of American power have proven wrong. He challenges listeners to sharpen their judgment, step back from reactionary commentary, and evaluate global developments through a broader strategic lens.

 In this episode of Another Way For Them, I explore what the future could look like if we do not become more thoughtful about the role technology, social media, and AI play in children's lives. The conversation looks at how constant digital exposure may shape the next generation's social and emotional development. I touch on concerns like declining social skills, the rise of virtual relationships, and the growing influence of pornography on young people. The heart of the episode focuses on the role of parents. Discernment, awareness, and honest communication are essential if we want to help our kids grow into emotionally healthy, connected humans in an increasingly digital world.

2 Corinthians 10:1-18 - Speaker: Lukus Counterman - In the final section of 2 Corinthians, Paul shifts gears. But it feels like he does it without using the clutch. In chapters 8-9 he was talking about generosity and abounding grace. But in chapters 10-13 the tone feels heavy and a bit foreboding. Paul is trying to vindicate his apostolic authority and convince the church to deal with dangerous imposters who are promoting false doctrine. Rainbows and lollipops are exchanged for weapons and warfare. Things get serious rather suddenly. But all of this is because Paul knows that the good of the church and the glory of God are at stake. So, may the Lord lead us in discernment and discipline.

This week on The Sidebar Podcast, Leise Winny and Mr. Royce move from local culture to national dysfunction with one central idea: discernment is survival.The episode opens by pushing back against the lazy idea that Baltimore begins and ends with The Wire, before diving into accents across Baltimore and the DMV, Black speech, and the way identity gets heard before it's understood. From there, the conversation spirals into bigger questions: Are we living in a cult? Are we already at war? And why do people keep dressing dysfunction up as depth?The middle of the episode gets sharper, tackling Trump's name in the files, the repeated disappointment Black women face in America, and the reality that capitalism keeps presenting itself as the final boss in every conversation.By the end, the discussion turns inward — to work, gender, leadership, and the exhausting performance of modern life. Are men natural leaders, or just socialized to think they are? Are jobs just renting your personality? And why does discernment feel more necessary than ever when everything is trying to sell itself as truth?Funny, blunt, observant, and a little chaotic — classic Sidebar.0:00 — Show snippet0:30 — Show disclosure0:38 — Show music1:04 — Intro1:30 — Baltimore is more than The Wire9:59 — Accents in Baltimore & the DMV10:57 — Black accents14:00 — Beyhive is in a cult16:34 — We are at war20:40 — Weird is really just weird23:20 — Trump in those files28:30 — Black women keep getting disappointed by America50:00 — America is capitalism's final boss1:22:20 — Jobs are renting your personality1:30:00 — Discernment is key1:36:01 — Are men natural leaders?1:52:00 — Potlucks are nastyOutro — End of show

Why does the modern pursuit of happiness so often leave people feeling lost? In this episode of The Lectern, John Vervaeke speaks with cognitive scientist Mark Miller about the emerging science of happiness and the deeper architecture of the human mind. Drawing from predictive processing theory, the conversation explores how human beings function as epistemic agents who constantly construct models of the world and themselves. The discussion examines why common cultural narratives about happiness are often misleading and why genuine flourishing requires understanding the underlying cognitive processes that shape perception, motivation, and meaning. Mark introduces the framework behind his Lectern course Generations of Joy, which integrates cognitive science, philosophy, contemplative practice, and modern neuroscience. Mark Miller is a cognitive scientist specializing in predictive processing, wellbeing, and the cognitive science of happiness. He teaches in the psychology and cognitive science programs at the University of Toronto and conducts research with the Center for Consciousness and Contemplative Studies at Monash University. He is also affiliated with Hokkaido University where he contributes to interdisciplinary work on artificial intelligence, neuroscience, and human nature.

In this episode, I'm breaking down a subtle dating pattern many high-achieving women experience: leaving too soon and realizing it later. You'll learn how your Attraction Blueprint® influences the way you interpret uncertainty in dating, why some women unconsciously search for reasons to end promising connections, and how to tell the difference between true incompatibility and a familiar pattern. If you've ever looked back and thought, "Maybe I ended that too quickly," this conversation will give you a new way to understand what was really happening. Inside this episode: 2:58 - The uncomfortable feeling you're mistaking for a red flag 6:22 - How your Attraction Blueprint quietly sabotages good connections 10:36 - What secure women do differently when they're not sure yet 15:28 - Why uncertainty feels so dangerous (and what it actually means) 17:49 - The one question that reveals if you should stay or go 19:06 - Discernment vs. self-sabotage: how to tell the difference 21:11 - The real work isn't choosing better men

Are you feeling like the world is reorganizing at warp speed, systems wobbling, leadership shifting, truth surfacing, and your nervous system trying to keep up? In this unexpected (and deeply personal) episode, Michael is joined by renowned intuitive and energy teacher Lee Harris for a conversation that starts as a "2026 forecast"… and turns into something far more grounding: how to stay regulated, discerning, and heart-led during intense collective change. Lee shares why 2026 carries a theme of energetic reorganization, why more people are waking up to uncomfortable realities, and how to avoid getting pulled into reactivity, blame, and overwhelm. The focus isn't on fear, it's on learning to hold your center, honor your emotions, and choose the most aligned way to serve (whether that's frontline activism, building a better future, or restoring your own capacity first). This isn't about "keeping up with everything." This is about staying connected to your inner truth, so you can move through chaos without becoming it. Key Topics The deeper theme of 2026: energetic reorganization and why it's reshaping everything. Why the world can feel destabilizing when the "system" looks different from what you believed. The emotional toll of constant information, and how to choose healthy boundaries. Discernment over outrage: knowing what's yours to respond to (and what isn't). The difference between a spiritual "revelation" and real-life "transformation" (and why the body needs time). How crisis can sharpen focus, and reveal what truly matters. Two kinds of activism: calling out injustice vs. building what comes next. Michael's resilience journey, and what it teaches about identity, healing, and staying present. A powerful, intuitive "mirror" reading for Michael (leadership, curiosity, peacemaking, justice). Choosing the right timing: when to push forward, and when to restore your nervous system first. A brief "Zs" message (with a tech glitch twist) about inner focus vs. external engagement. Music as medicine: why sound can help reset your state and support healing. If you're searching for a "2026 energy forecast," "Lee Harris," "nervous system regulation," or "spiritual tools for overwhelm," this episode is part prophecy, part permission slip, and part practical reminder: you don't need to carry the entire world, your job is to stay steady enough to bring your unique light to the moment.

In this episode of the Not Your Average Autism Mom podcast, Shannon Urquiola explores a topic many parents quietly wonder about but don't always know how to navigate: biomedical testing and autism.Shannon discusses common tests that are often mentioned in the autism community—including OATS testing, MTHFR genetic variants, CBC panels, vitamin deficiencies, gut health testing, and sleep studies—and why some parents begin asking whether certain behaviors could have underlying biological contributors.This conversation is not about curing autism.It's about understanding that sometimes discomfort, inflammation, nutritional deficiencies, or sleep disruptions can affect a child's regulation—and those things deserve attention.Throughout the episode Shannon emphasizes three key principles:• Autism is not something to cure• Curiosity should guide decisions—not panic• Discernment matters in a very noisy spaceYou'll also hear real-life scenarios that many parents will recognize, along with the important reminder that biomedical testing isn't the right path for every family—and that's okay too.Shannon also invites listeners to share their own experiences with biomedical testing so the community can learn from one another.If you've ever wondered whether certain behaviors might have medical contributors, this episode will help you think through the conversation in a thoughtful and grounded way.Shannon is also hosting a FREE 3-part educational series on stem cells and autism beginning March 17th.If you're curious about emerging research in this area, you can register HERE or find the information across Not Your Average Autism Mom social media.We have so many of you who are NEW here, we wanted to share Shannon's feature on News Nation Now with Nichole Berlie. She shares her perspective as a mom raising an autistic son and as the founder of Not Your Average Autism Mom.Every chance she gets to use her voice for families like ours is a privilege—and this conversation was no exception.

Pastor Hank lays a biblical foundation for understanding how God speaks and how believers can discern truth in a time when many voices compete for attention. Through Scripture, he explains the difference between true prophecy and false mixtures, helping believers stay anchored in the Word of God and recognize authentic prophetic voices.

Questions? Comments? Text Us!How do you know when an inner prompting is truly guidance — and when it is illusion? In this intimate dialogue, Jerry L. Martin and Abigail L. Rosenthal explore the challenge of spiritual discernment: learning to trust your spiritual senses without abandoning realism, reason, or common sense. What does it mean to follow an inner call responsibly? How do you test intuition against experience, wisdom, and the counsel of others?Drawing from lived experience — including Jerry's hearing of the “God voice,” their shared leap into marriage, and Abigail's reflections in A Good Look at Evil and Confessions of a Young Philosopher — they consider how faith and practical wisdom must work together. Faith is not unrealism. It is not a shortcut. Nor is it blind emotion. Instead, it is a disciplined attentiveness to the deeper currents of your life, guided by both sincerity and discernment.The conversation widens into a larger question: What story are you living? And what is your ideal story? Abigail reflects on the idea that God is not a distant abstraction but a Player — with a capital P — in the unfolding drama of your life. To live spiritually is not to withdraw from reality but to engage it more fully, with courage, humility, and intellectual honesty.If you have ever wondered how to distinguish true guidance from impulse, how to balance faith and reason, or how to bring your actual life closer to your ideal life, this episode offers a thoughtful and grounded exploration of divine guidance, inner calling, and life as a story.Other Series:The podcast began with the Dramatic Adaptation of the book and now has several series:The Life Wisdom Project – Spiritual insights on living a wiser, more meaningful life.From God to Jerry to You – Divine messages and breakthroughs for seekers.Two Philosophers Wrestle With God – A dialogue on God, truth, and reason.Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue – Love, faith, and divine presence in partnership.What's Your Spiritual Story – Real stories of people changed by encounters with God.What's On Our Mind – Reflections from Jerry and Scott on recent episodes.What's On Your Mind – Listener questions, divine answers, and open dialogue. Stay ConnectedShare: questions@godanautobiography.comGet the books: God: An Autobiography, Radically Personal, Confessions of a Young Philosopher, A Good Look at EvilShare Your Story | Site | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube

What's the difference between God's peace and emotional relief?In this episode of The Catholic Coaching Podcast, Matt and Erin talk about one of the most important discernment mistakes people make: confusing relief with peace.Relief can feel good in the moment. It can feel like pressure is gone, tension has lifted, or discomfort has stopped. But that does not always mean a decision is from God.Peace is different.True peace is deeper, steadier, and rooted in truth, surrender, and right relationship with God. It can remain even when a decision still feels difficult, sacrificial, or scary.In this conversation, we cover: • the difference between peace and relief • why relief can be misleading in discernment • how the enemy can mimic peace through relief • why fear and discomfort do not automatically mean you are outside God's will • examples from our own lives where relief and peace felt very differentIf you are trying to discern God's will, make a big decision, or grow in spiritual maturity, this episode will help you slow down and listen more carefully.If this episode helps you, please like, subscribe, and share it with a friend.Send a textSupport the show____________________ ► Make sure to SUBSCRIBE to the Metanoia Catholic YouTube Channel!► Find out your temperament: Take the Free Quiz► Get the Conversation Starter Guide (FREE) ► Take the Quiz: WHAT TYPE OF COACH ARE YOU?► GET THE DAILY SEVEN JOURNAL!This interactive journal will help you transform your life from the inside out by teaching you how to grow in gratitude, set healthy goals, and gain mastery over your thoughts.► JOIN THE ACADEMY!Your online resource of classes, tools, and community to ramp up your growth and really change your life.

For more information and support, join us at https://thecirsgroup.com Jacie and Barbara discuss why unlimited money and access to extreme treatments doesn't usually lead to better or faster healing. Wealth can remove “financial friction,” which inadvertently encourages fear-based, urgent, and uncoordinated decision-making, including fringe or unregulated therapies, constant protocol switching, and symptom-focused biohacking without tracking or testing. They emphasize the importance of strategy, sequencing, and objective measurement, highlighting the Shoemaker Protocol as a foundational, ordered approach for CIRS treatment.

Your personal power isn't about perfection or having all the answers — it's about recognizing when you're giving it away and learning how to reclaim it. When we pedestalize leaders, influencers, or even friends, we blind ourselves to their human flaws and the gray areas in their character. This episode reveals how putting others on a pedestal can secretly diminish your own discernment, trap you in absolutes, and leave you vulnerable to manipulation—and how to break free.  Hit play and start reclaiming your personal power today.   Follow us on social media: TikTok account: https://www.tiktok.com/@estrogen.dropouts?_t=ZT-8wTKvGNOQv5&_r=1 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/estrogendropouts?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@EstrogenDropouts  

Episode 275 – When Discernment Becomes JudgmentIn a season where exposure and scandal seem to dominate conversations within the church, we're challenged to examine our own hearts and tongues. Drawing heavily from James chapter 3, this episode of Mavericks & Misfits confronts the dangerous reality that our tongues—including our social media posts, comments, and casual conversations—are set on fire by hell when not governed by the Holy Spirit. Jeff Lyle reminds us that with the same mouth we bless God and curse people made in His image, a contradiction that should not exist among believers. We're living in an age where everyone has an instant platform, where suspicion has become normalized, and where Christians pile on to denounce one another without investigation, relationship, or love. The call here is sobering: before we add our voice to the chorus of accusation, have we talked to the person? Have we investigated both sides? Are we operating in the patient, kind, truth-rejoicing love described in 1 Corinthians 13? The prophetic gift, when not tempered by love, can produce chronic suspicion and bitterness rather than intercession and hope. We must learn to discern what hills to die on, to withhold hasty judgment, and to take our discernment into the prayer room rather than onto social media. The reformation the church needs isn't just about removing corrupt leaders—it's about reforming how we respond to what's wrong, choosing intercession over assassination, and remembering that Jesus doesn't divorce His flawed bride but continues to sacrifice to beautify her.

Today, Paul M. Neuberger throws down the gauntlet.This isn't business as usual—this is a wake-up call to every Christian leader in the marketplace.Because Jesus Himself declared, “By their fruit you will recognize them” (Matthew 7:16).In a world drowning in Christian branding but starving for Christian fruit, Paul M. Neuberger unapologetically dismantles weak faith, cultural conformity, and the lies that threaten to rot the roots of the church.He exposes the cost—the ridicule, isolation, and backlash that come when you choose Scripture over popularity, truth over tone, and courage over comfort.But Jesus is still Lord—and discernment is not optional.What will you do when silence feels safer than standing, when the cost is your reputation and comfort?Will you watch fruit rot? Or will you inspect, confront, and bear Christ-like results?"By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?" –Matthew 7:16Episode Highlights09:46 - Bad fruit, on the other hand, often looks attractive at first. It usually sounds compassionate. It frequently appeals to emotion, but its long-term outcomes are unmistakable. Bad fruit produces confusion instead of clarity. It produces compromise instead of conviction. It produces pride disguised as empowerment and rebellion disguised as freedom. It replaces repentance with self-justification and obedience with personal truth.16:29 - Niceness without truth produces spiritual anesthesia. It numbs conviction. It soothes consciences while leaving hearts unchanged. It creates churches full of people who feel affirmed but remain untransformed. That's not good fruit. It's counterfeit fruit. Godliness on the other hand, is often uncomfortable. It tells the truth even when the truth stings.48:08 - Every generation of believers has got to choose whether they will discern truth or inherit deception. Scripture makes it clear the fruit will always reveal reality. Trees can't hide what they produce forever. God calls his people not to be impressed by appearances but to be anchored in outcomes, not to be led by charisma but by character, not to chase influence but to pursue faithfulness. This is the call before us—not comfort, not applause, not safety—faithfulness.Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite 

In a world of information overload, propaganda, and social media manipulation, how can Christians discern truth from deception? In this episode of Fearless with Mark & Amber, we discuss the importance of biblical discernment in an age of chaos. From global conflicts and media narratives to viral misinformation online, believers must learn to evaluate what they see through the lens of Scripture and wisdom. The conversation explores how wars and rumors of wars, online manipulation, and cultural confusion are shaping public perception — and why Christians are called to be watchmen on the wall, warning others while standing firm in truth. We also share insights from our documentary filmmaking work where investigating cultural narratives has revealed how patterns of deception repeat throughout history. Most importantly, this episode reminds believers that fear is not the answer — discernment, prayer, and a disciplined mind are. If you're looking for encouragement to stand firm in truth, think critically, and stay grounded in God's Word, this episode is for you.

JB White opens the week celebrating a dominant Florida Gators basketball win before turning to what he believes is a much bigger story unfolding globally. The discussion quickly pivots to the importance of discernment in a chaotic information environment, where competing narratives, intelligence operations, and geopolitical propaganda are constantly shaping online discourse. JB highlights a series of posts breaking down what he describes as the Trump Doctrine, a strategic framework aimed at dismantling hostile alliances and reasserting American power across the Western Hemisphere and beyond. He argues that recent moves involving Venezuela, Iran, and Cuba are not isolated events but part of a coordinated effort to neutralize threats that have been building for decades. Throughout the episode, JB pushes back against what he sees as misinformation circulating in political commentary circles, including narratives about Russia, Israel, and global alliances. He urges listeners to step back from distractions, examine the broader strategic board, and recognize what he believes is a historic geopolitical shift taking place under President Trump's leadership.

In this episode, you'll learn: Why expert advice feels so seductive during high-stakes decisions What a “context swap” is and how it silently creates strategic damage The three patterns of the External Wisdom Trap: The Credential Override The Proof Point Illusion The Wisdom Surrender How to filter outside expertise through your own organizational reality The difference between adopting advice and adapting wisdom The powerful leadership question:“What would have to be true for this to work here?” Key Insight: The most effective leaders do not eliminate outside input. They develop the discernment to know what applies to their specific situation and what does not.

Send a textSeven Days That Changed The World Signs Of The Times | Part 3Senior Pastor Keith StewartMarch 8, 2026 With everything that's happening in the Middle East right now, we're getting a lot of questions about end times prophecy. People are concerned is this the beginning of the end? Maybe it's coincidence or God's design, but day three of the seven days that changed the world is centered around the Olivet Discourse. This is the second longest sermon of Jesus and it's the most extensive teaching He does around prophecy. If there's ever been a time when we need to sit at the feet of Jesus to learn, it's now. Christ speaks clearly about things that are coming but also clarifies what He wants us to do. Discussion Questions Warm-up When you hear “end times” teaching, what emotions tend to surface for you (curiosity, fear, skepticism, urgency, confusion)? Why? Scripture understanding Read Mark 13:1–4. What prompts Jesus' teaching, and what does that tell you about what the disciples valued versus what Jesus wanted them to see?The message used the “now and not yet” (bifocal) framework. Where do you see “near” and “far” elements in Mark 13? What difference does this make in how you read the passage? Read Mark 13:7–8 and Mark 13:32. What do these verses correct in us when we're tempted toward speculation or anxiety? Discernment and discipleship The sermon argued that prophecy is best understood through Scripture and history—not by scanning today's headlines. What are some modern “headline-driven” habits Christians can fall into? How can we practice healthier discernment? Discuss this line: “Christian discipleship is a call to persevering gospel-centered faithfulness, not fascination with end-times speculation.” What would it look like to live that out practically this week? Mission and application Read Matthew 24:14. According to Jesus, what is the church's responsibility “in the in-between time”? How does that shift your view of the future? The message said: “When the world runs out of hope, that's when Christians run in.” Where is God inviting our group (or our church) to “run in” right now—locally or globally? In suffering, people often ask: “Where is God?” The sermon suggested a different set of questions (“Where's the opportunity? Who can I help?”). Which of those questions do you most need to practice, and what is one concrete action step? Prayer focus Spend time praying in three directions:Upward: expectancy and trust in Christ's returnInward: perseverance, alertness, and freedom from fearOutward: boldness and compassion to share the gospel and serve others

What does sacrifice actually mean in the Christian life—and is it supposed to feel costly?In this Ask the Seminarians episode, we wrestle with the tension between comfort and obedience, desire and surrender. Is sacrifice about giving things up? Is it about suffering? Or is it about love?We explore how Scripture reframes sacrifice—not as spiritual performance or misery for misery's sake—but as a response to God's goodness. Along the way, we talk about misplaced guilt, modern confusion around self-denial, and how to discern when something is truly sacrificial versus simply inconvenient.If you've ever wondered whether following Jesus is supposed to hurt—or how to think about sacrifice in everyday life—this conversation will help clarify and ground you.Takeaways Biblical sacrifice is rooted in love, not punishment. Sacrifice is about surrendering control, not earning favor. Not every hard thing is holy, and not every comfortable thing is compromise. Obedience often feels costly before it feels fruitful. Jesus redefines sacrifice as self-giving love. Discernment is essential in a culture that confused discomfort with devotion.

Is the Bible itself changing?In this thought-provoking conversation, Peter King sits down with researcher John Kirwin to explore one of the most controversial topics circulating among truth seekers and Christians today — the idea that certain Bible verses may be supernaturally changing.From the famous “lion and the lamb” vs “wolf and the lamb” debate to deeper questions about scriptural preservation, the Mandela Effect, and spiritual deception, this episode examines claims that challenge long-held assumptions about Scripture.Whether you agree or disagree, the conversation raises important questions about discernment, biblical authority, and the search for truth.In This Episode• The claim that some Bible passages appear to have changed• The “lion and the lamb” Mandela Effect debate• Biblical promises about the preservation of Scripture• Theological paradoxes in scripture• Why discussing this topic is controversial in the church• Discernment in an age of spiritual confusionTimestamps00:00 Introduction — Are Bible verses changing?01:03 The concept of theological paradoxes10:16 Biblical promises about preserving Scripture12:16 Humility and searching for truth17:29 The preservation debate in Christianity19:13 How the Bible defines the “Word of God”21:12 Strange or controversial passages in scripture24:11 The responsibility to pursue truth31:33 Interpreting preservation promises32:17 The debate around cessationism45:14 Prophecy and God's sovereignty49:23 Challenging doctrinal assumptions51:24 Research and survey results60:16 Final reflectionsIf you enjoyed this conversation, subscribe for more deep discussions on faith, truth, culture, and the times we're living in.#Bible #MandelaEffect #ChristianPodcast #BiblicalTruth #EndTimes #FaithAndTruth #BibleStudy #ChristianDiscussion

Week 9 of the All I Do Is Win series, “The Discipline of Discernment,” looks at Book of Joshua 9 and the story of Israel being deceived by the Gibeonites. Pastor Leonard Davis reminds us that the enemy often works through subtle deception rather than obvious attack, and that spiritual discernment—seeking God before we decide—is essential to avoid unnecessary complications in our lives. As you listen, use the Sermon Reflection Guide linked below to prayerfully process the message and practice discernment in your own decisions.     Week 9 "All I Do Is Win" Sermon Reflection Guide: "The Discipline of Discernment"

This episode is for the woman who has ever looked back and said, "I knew it. Why didn't I trust myself?"Sade unpacks why so many women dismiss their own instincts and how that dismissal — not the red flags themselves — leaves them most exposed. Memorizing red flags doesn't protect you. Situational awareness does. When you build that skill, no disguise fools you.Your nervous system collects data. Fear, discomfort, that "off" feeling — those are not signs you are dramatic or paranoid. They are signals. The problem is that women spend decades in training to ignore those signals, and then wonder why they feel anxious, confused, and stuck.Sade also names the two fears that keep women frozen: the fear of being wrong and the fear of being right. Both traps lead to the same outcome — doing nothing while things get worse.The work is the same whether you're dating, married, or navigating divorce. Discernment. Self-leadership. Knowing what a safe relationship looks and feels like. Building your own life and emotional resources.You didn't choose the conditioning that trained you to doubt yourself. But you can choose differently now.Ready to build your situational awareness with real support? Schedule a free consultation with Sade at sadecurry.com/schedule-appointment

I answer listener-submitted Bible questions live on the first Wednesday of every month. On today's livestream, the first four questions I will answer are: 1) Is THIS evidence that people believed in the pre-tribulation rapture in the early church? 2)How do you understand Jeremiah 30 and Amos 9 based on your belief that all God's promises to Israel have been fulfilled in Christ? 3) What does John 1:18 say in the original language? AND 4) Should I avoid teachers who seem to be hyper-focused on Israel and the end times? That You May Know Him, Episode 290.

Today I'm continuing my Bold Pastor Series: Shepherds in the Storm with Pastor Gary Hamrick from Cornerstone Chapel. We're talking about Israel, the headlines that won't stop coming, and what biblical discernment and civic engagement should actually look like for Christians right now. If you've been feeling overwhelmed or confused, this conversation will help get you grounded back in God's Word and back to peace.Prime Sponsor: No matter where you live, visit the Functional Medical Institute online today to connect with Drs Mark and Michele Sherwood.

Eisenhower, for a deeply expansive conversation on astrology, collective timelines, and the energetic dynamics shaping our world.Laura shares why she sees linear time as increasingly fluid and why astrology is best understood as a map of cycles and probabilities rather than fixed prediction. Together, we explore the South Node in Virgo / North Node in Pisces axis and what it is teaching humanity about mind–body–spirit integration and learning to trust the body's intelligence. We also dive into the powerful outer-planet alignments, including Saturn and Neptune, and what they may be dissolving within old authority structures. A key part of our conversation explores Laura's research into the Iran region as a significant energetic gateway within the planetary stargate framework, and how she believes trauma loops and reversal patterns in key global locations can ripple through the collective field. “We don't want to lose ourselves to the fear and the outcome — we want to hold what we want to see.” - Laura Eisenhower In this episode, we explore:- The dissolving illusion of linear time and “divine timing”- South Node Virgo → North Node Pisces integration- Saturn–Neptune dynamics and collapsing old structures- Nervous system regulation as a spiritual technology- Discernment in the age of information overload- Iran and the 10th Gate in Laura's planetary stargate framework- Reversal timelines and collective trauma loops- Planetary grids and global energetic hotspots- Working with water, prayer, and emotional coherence- Choosing love, family, and community in volatile timesIf you have been feeling the intensity of the current moment, this conversation offers both cosmic context and grounded tools to help you stay centered, sovereign, and connected to your inner knowing.Guest: Laura EisenhowerWebsite: CosmicGaia.orgIf you enjoyed this episode we would love to hear from you!

In this episode of the Lead Culture Podcast, Jenni Catron sits down with renowned leadership expert and bestselling author Patrick Lencioni to explore his groundbreaking framework, The Six Types of Working Genius.Lencioni—best known for The Five Dysfunctions of a Team and his work on organizational health—shares how the Working Genius model helps leaders and teams understand the kinds of work that energize them and the tasks that drain them. When teams gain a shared language for how people are wired to contribute, collaboration improves, frustration decreases, and culture becomes healthier.Patrick explains the six types of work required in every project—Wonder, Invention, Discernment, Galvanizing, Enablement, and Tenacity—and how each person typically excels in two of these areas. By identifying these strengths, leaders can build more balanced teams, place people in roles where they thrive, and reduce unnecessary guilt and judgment in the workplace.Throughout the conversation, Catron and Lencioni discuss:Why organizational health is more important than strategy aloneHow the Working Genius framework improves team communicationWhy many leaders unintentionally place people in the wrong rolesHow shared language around strengths transforms team culturePractical ways leaders can use the model to hire, develop, and align teamsWhether you're new to the Working Genius assessment or already using leadership tools like DISC, Myers-Briggs, or the Enneagram, this conversation will help you rethink how work gets done—and how understanding your team's natural gifts can unlock greater engagement, productivity, and purpose.If you want to build a healthier culture, lead people more effectively, and help your team do their best work, this episode is a must-listen.Take the assessment here with 20% off. We need your help to get the LeadCulture podcasts in front of more leaders!

What happens to your soul when you let an algorithm do your thinking? Spoiler alert: it's not great. In this episode, Dr. Jeffery Skinner dives into the sneaky ways AI and digital platforms are reshaping our conscience and dulling our discernment. You might think you're just scrolling through memes or getting your daily news fix, but you're actually sidelining the part of you that wrestles with deeper questions about faith and morality. It's like outsourcing your soul's workout to a couch potato. We'll explore how this digital age affects our spiritual growth and discernment, and why it's crucial for us to reclaim our ability to think critically and seek God authentically. So grab your headphones, and let's get into why your soul might be missing out on some serious gym time while you're busy clicking ‘like' on everything.Scripture ReferencesRomans 12:2 — Transformation through the renewing of the mindHebrews 5:14 — Mature believers train themselves to discern good and evilMatthew 25:14–30 — The Parable of the TalentsLuke 6:40 — A disciple, when fully trained, will be like their teacherActs 15 — The Jerusalem Council as communal discernmentGalatians 5:13–25 — Life in the Spirit and formation of character1 Timothy 4:7–8 — Training in godlinessJAMES K.A. SMITH — Desiring the Kingdom & You Are What You Love Smith's big idea is that we are formed by what we habitually do, not primarily by what we intellectually believe. He draws from Augustine — we are lovers before we are thinkers. Our desires are shaped by repeated practices, or what he calls cultural liturgies.The Wesleyan Arminian angle: Smith gives us the mechanism of formation that Wesley always assumed but didn't systematize. Wesley's class meetings, his means of grace, his disciplined rhythms — these were all essentially liturgical formation practices. Smith helps you articulate why they worked and why their absence hurts.Key ideas to track down:∙ Liturgy as desire formation — practices shape loves before the mind engages∙ The mall as cathedral — his famous illustration of secular liturgies forming us toward consumption∙ Counter-formation requires intentional, embodied, communal practiceALAN JACOBS — How to Think (2017)Jacobs is winsome, careful, and genuinely funny. His core argument is that thinking well is not primarily an intellectual skill — it's a moral and social practice. We think badly not because we're stupid but because we're embedded in communities that reward certain conclusions and punish others.He introduces the idea of the “inner ring” — borrowed from C.S. Lewis — the social pressure to think like your tribe. Algorithms weaponize the inner ring. They identify your tribe, amplify its voice, and make departure feel socially costly.Key ideas to track down:∙ Thinking as a communal practice that can be corrupted by social incentives∙ The “repugnant cultural other” — his term for how we're trained to caricature those who think differently∙ Charitable interpretation as a spiritual disciplineJOHN DYER — From the Garden to the City (2011)Dyer is the most theologically careful of the group and writes from an evangelical framework that translates well into Wesleyan categories. His central argument is that technology is never neutral — it always shapes the user, not just the world the user acts on.He traces this from Genesis forward. Every technology from agriculture to the printing press to the smartphone changes what humans pay attention to, what they value, and ultimately who they become.Dyer gives biblical and historical credibility. This isn't a panic about modern machines — it's a pattern as old as humanity. The question has always been whether we are using tools or being used by them.Key ideas to track down:∙ Technology as transformation — it changes us, not just our circumstances∙ The Babel narrative as a technology cautionary tale∙ The difference between tools that extend human capacity and tools that replace human judgmentTRISTAN HARRIS — Humane Technology WorkHarris is not a theologian but he is our most credible secular witness. As a former Google design ethicist he speaks from the inside. His core argument is that social media and AI are not neutral platforms — they are persuasion engines optimized for engagement, which means optimized for outrage, anxiety, and compulsion.His most useful concept for your episode is “the race to the bottom of the brain stem” — the competition among tech companies to capture attention by appealing to the most reactive, least reflective parts of us.For Wesleyan Arminian framework: Wesley was deeply concerned with what he called the “carnal mind” — the unregenerate, reactive, self-centered orientation of the human soul. Harris, without knowing it, has mapped the technology infrastructure that feeds the carnal mind and starves the renewed one.Key ideas to track down at humanetech.com:∙ The asymmetry of power between algorithm and user∙ Engagement vs. wellbeing as competing design goals∙ His congressional testimony — specific, quotable, publicly availableSHOSHANA ZUBOFF — The Age of Surveillance Capitalism (2019)Zuboff is dense but her core idea is accessible and important: human experience has become raw material harvested by technology companies to predict and modify behavior. She calls this behavioral modification at scale.I did not go deep into her economics. What matters is her moral argument: this system requires human beings to be predictable. And predictable people are, by definition, not growing. Not being transformed. Not surprising even themselves.The Wesleyan connection is sharp: entire sanctification, growth in grace, the Spirit's renewing work — all of these assume a human being who is genuinely changing. Surveillance capitalism needs you to stay the same. Grace refuses to let you.Key ideas to track down:∙ Behavioral surplus — the data harvested beyond what you knowingly give∙ The goal of certainty over human behavior as the system's deepest aim∙ Her concept of instrumentarian power — shaping behavior without direct coercionDALLAS WILLARD — Formation TheologyWillard isn't writing about AI but he is your theological backbone for the whole episode. His central claim is that spiritual formation is the church's primary task and that it requires intentional, disciplined, often uncomfortable engagement with practices that renovate the soul.His concept of “the gospel of sin management” is particularly useful. The critique that the church has reduced discipleship to behavior modification rather than genuine transformation of the whole person.For your Wesleyan Arminian framework: Willard was deeply influenced by Wesley, and his formation theology maps almost directly onto Wesley's via salutis — the way of salvation as a journey of genuine transformation, not just positional declaration.Key ideas to track down:∙ Spiritual disciplines as training, not trying — you don't try to run a marathon, you train for one∙ The renovated will as the goal of formation∙ “Non-discipleship is the elephant in the church” — this is one of his most quotable lines and widely attributed so worth verifyingReferenced ResourcesAndy Crouch — The Life We're Looking For (2022)James K.A. Smith — Desiring the Kingdom (2009) and You Are What You Love (2016)John Dyer — From the Garden to the City (2011)Reverend Dr. Tim Gaines-Christian Ethics (2021)Alan Jacobs — How to Think (2017)Shoshana Zuboff — The Age of Surveillance Capitalism (2019)Shoshana Zuboff Youtube Harvard LectureTristan Harris — most of his quotable material lives at humanetech.com and his congressional testimonies, which are publicly searchable.The episode unfolds as a candid examination of how our reliance on artificial intelligence might be weakening our spiritual discernment and moral agency. Dr. Skinner introduces a fictional conversation where Mia, a young woman grappling with personal dilemmas, seeks advice from an AI. This scenario sets the stage for a larger discussion on the implications of turning to technology over human interaction for guidance. The AI, while appearing supportive and non-judgmental, represents a broader trend of individuals seeking validation and answers from algorithms, rather than engaging in the messy, beautiful work of community and spiritual growth. As the episode progresses, listeners are invited to reflect on their habits and the subtle shifts in their spiritual practices caused by digital engagement. Dr. Skinner articulates how algorithms prioritize efficiency and comfort, often at the expense of genuine moral engagement and personal growth. He details the necessity of re-establishing practices that encourage discernment, such as communal discussions and personal reflection, which can counteract the passive consumption of information. The episode concludes with a powerful call to action: to put down our devices, engage with our conscience, and embrace the challenging yet rewarding path of spiritual formation that requires presence, conversation, and the courage to...
