From the deserts of Central Asia to the gates of ancient China, from the bazaars of Persia to the harbours of the Mediterranean, the Silk Roads were never just one route. A living network of paths, mountain passes, and caravan trails, they carried not only silk and spices, but stories, beliefs, technologies, and ideas that would reshape entire civilisations. For more than a thousand years, they connected worlds that might otherwise never have met, and, in doing so, transformed them. The Silk Roads have witnessed empires rise and crumble, faiths spread and evolve, and cultures meet, merge, and create anew.   But what drove people to risk their lives travelling them? How did they impact the disparate worlds they joined together? And why, even today, do the Silk Roads still matter? This is a Short History Of The Silk Roads. A Noiser podcast production. Hosted by John Hopkins. With thanks to Peter Frankopan, Professor of Global History at Oxford University, and author of The Silk Roads.

Obedience to God isn’t always easy—especially when life feels unfair, confusing, or painful. Many of us find ourselves in seasons we never would have chosen: job struggles, long-term illness, relationship tension, infertility, loneliness, or waiting on God for answers that seem delayed. This devotional reminds us that God’s discipline is not meant to harm us, but to shape us. When the Lord convicts us or redirects us, it can feel uncomfortable at first. But when we stop resisting and surrender fully, we begin to discover something surprising on the other side: joy. Jesus is our greatest example of obedience. He endured rejection, suffering, and even the cross—not because it was easy, but because He trusted His Father completely. Scripture shows us that Jesus obeyed with the joy set before Him. He knew the pain was not the end of the story. In the same way, God may be calling you to surrender something today—an unhealthy relationship, a destructive habit, fear, pride, control, or even a schedule that leaves no room for Him. Obedience may require hard decisions, but God never asks us to surrender without purpose. The promise is clear: joy is found in God’s presence. When we obey Him, we aren’t losing freedom—we’re stepping into the fullness of life He designed for us. Obedience isn’t just duty; it’s a pathway to deeper peace, deeper joy, and deeper closeness with Jesus. Main Takeaways God’s discipline is rooted in love, not punishment. Obedience may feel painful at first, but it leads to joy and peace. Jesus is our model: He endured suffering while trusting the Father’s will. God may be calling you to surrender something so He can restore your joy. True joy is found in God’s presence, not in perfect circumstances. Today’s Bible Verse: "This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command.” John 15:8-14 NIV Your Daily Prayer Prayer excerpt for listeners: “Help us to have hearts to love You, minds to know You, and wills to obey You.” Listen to the full prayer here.

What if the diet you've been following diligently — eating all the right things, tracking your macros, staying committed — is actually wrong for your specific biology? In this solo episode I share the anonymised case of a real client who gained eight kilograms following a ketogenic diet perfectly. Not because she was doing it wrong. Because her genetics made her one of the worst possible candidates for high saturated fat eating — and nobody had ever looked at her DNA. We go deep on the three specific genetic variants that predicted her poor response to keto, what her full microbiome mapping revealed that standard testing would have completely missed, and how her hormonal picture and chronic stress were silently driving the whole metabolic picture. This episode is for anyone who has tried hard, followed the advice, and still isn't getting results. It's time to stop blaming yourself and start looking at your biology. We cover why Instagram diet advice is genuinely dangerous for people with different genetics, what comprehensive functional testing actually looks like — DNA panels, microbiome mapping, DUTCH hormone testing, detailed bloodwork — and the universal dietary principles that apply to almost everyone regardless of their genetic profile. Your body is not broken. It just needs the right instructions.

There are seasons when strength feels thin and tears fall faster than we can hold them back. In those moments, it can feel like we’re barely surviving the weight of what we’re carrying. Yet Psalm 34 reminds us of a powerful truth: the Lord hears the cries of the righteous, stays close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Sometimes we wish God would instantly remove the hardship. We know He has the power to do it. But often, He doesn’t. Not because He is distant—but because He is deeply invested in a greater good we cannot yet see. Jesus does not stand far off while we struggle. He draws near. He sees every tear. He understands every ache. His compassion is not theoretical; it is personal. He is present in the sorrow, strengthening us step by step. Hard seasons are not wasted seasons. Even when circumstances don’t feel good, God promises to work them for good for those who love Him. His plan is redemptive. His love is steady. His presence is constant. If you are fighting through something heavy today, remember: you are not fighting alone. The Lord is close. He is holding you. And He is leading you toward something more beautiful than you can yet imagine. Main Takeaways God hears your cries and stays close when you are brokenhearted. Jesus feels compassion for your pain and walks with you through it. Not all hardship is removed immediately, but none of it is wasted. God is working redemption even when you cannot see it. You can find fortitude by leaning on His presence and promises. Today's Bible Reading:The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. (Psalm 34:17-18) Your Daily Prayer Prayer excerpt for listeners: “Help me remember how much You love me and that right where I am is part of Your good plan.” Listen to the full prayer here.

Being afraid of something doesn't sound preferable, but throughout the Bible we see benefits from fearing the Lord. Find out what that can look like for us today and what we'll experience when we do!Receive The fear of the Lord is the starting place for wisdom and it leads to a never-ending friendship with a loving God. Scripture reveals that fearing the Lord is intended to comfort us not to scare us. Because the more we understand God's character, the more we are compelled to revere Him. God's Word guides us to express our fear of the Lord through right living, rejecting evil, and clinging to what is good.  Reflect Read the verses connected with this episode below. As you reflect on the Scripture, what stands out to you? Matthew 1:20 Matthew 2:22 Matthew 9:1-8 Acts 13:16, 26, 43 1 Peter 1:1 1 Peter 5:12-13 Revelation 19:4-10 John 4:13-18 Matthew 10:26-31 helps the disciples understand how much God cares for them—and how much He's in control, even during tribulations. How does this encourage you to know that God is on your side?  Acts 10:1-2, 34-35 shows that those who fear God leave an openness to be surprised with how He works. How does this encourage you to look for God's mighty presence and expansive invitation in your life?  1 Peter 2:11-17 summarizes a picture of what it looks like to fear God (live in freedom, respect everyone, love the family of believers, honor authority). How does keeping God first in these kinds of ways help you live in the world better? Revelation 14:6-8 shows that the fear of the Lord is linked to God's judgment which can lead to worship and praise. How does this fear of the Lord draw you closer into relationship with Him? Respond (Use this prayer to start a conversation with God) “Jesus, help me demonstrate my reverence for God by living in His freedom, respecting others, loving fellow believers, and honoring the authorities He has placed in my life.

Fertility specialist Oluyemisi Famuyiwa discusses her article "Uterine aging in IVF: Why the 'soil' matters as much as the seed." Oluyemisi explains that while clinicians often focus on egg quality, the aging of the uterus itself is a frequently overlooked factor in implantation failure. She explores clinical data showing that even with chromosomally perfect embryos, success rates decline as the endometrium loses its resilience due to cellular senescence and weakened progesterone signaling. The conversation challenges the standard "seed and soil" analogy by revealing that normal ultrasound thickness does not guarantee a receptive environment for pregnancy. Oluyemisi advocates for a precision medicine approach that scrutinizes the uterine environment as rigorously as the embryo to refine hope for patients. Discover how acknowledging the biological history of the uterus can transform unexplained failure into actionable data. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform.

He shows how to manage internal triggers, protect time for traction with timeboxing, and reduce external triggers, then lock it all in with a meaningful "pinky promise" pact that makes follow-through non-negotiable. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.nirandfar.com/pinky-promise/ Quotes to ponder: "The root cause of all human behavior is the desire to escape discomfort." "The most effective technique for staying on track is timeboxing, planning out periods of time to do what you say you will each day." "When I wanted to finish the first draft of my book Indistractable, I swore a pinky promise to my accountability partner that I would pay him $10,000 if I didn't finish the draft by my deadline."

Standing firm in your faith isn’t always applauded — sometimes it costs you deeply. In this episode, we talk about the pain of facing opposition from those closest to us and the tension between defending our beliefs and guarding our hearts. When family members mock or reject our faith, the temptation is to respond with anger, silence, or distance. But the gospel calls us to something higher: compassion instead of offense, prayer instead of retaliation, and trust instead of control. The truth? No one is too far gone for God’s reach — not your skeptical friend, not your resistant sibling, not even the person who hurt you most. What We Discuss Why opposition from family hurts differently The danger of treating loved ones like arguments to win How bitterness quietly builds walls Why salvation isn’t powered by persuasion What Epistle to the Romans 5 teaches about God’s initiating love How to pray effectively for those who reject your faith This episode is sponsored by Trinity Debt Management. If you are struggling with debt call Trinity today. Trinity's counselors have the knowledge and resources to make a difference. Our intention is to help people become debt-free, and most importantly, remain debt-free for keeps!" If your debt has you down, we should talk.

Whether we're helping people pay off their unsecured debt or offering assistance to those behind in their mortgage payments. https://trinitycredit.org Full Transcript Below: No One Is Too Far Gone for God’s Reach By: Emily Rose Massey Bible Reading:“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” - Romans 5:8, NASB My convictions were just too strong to stay silent on that Facebook post. I knew it was a controversial topic, but I didn’t think my own family would turn on me and lash out because of my beliefs. As a Christian, there are times when I need to stand up for what is right, and just like countless times before, I was left to stand alone to be ridiculed for my faith in God and His Holy Word… I just didn’t think my own brother would be the one to hurt me the most with his callous words. Often, the wounds cut deeper when it is those closest to us who wield the sword at us. In that moment, instead of finding the comfort and understanding of my family, the harsh reality that my brother was a lost soul began to set in. I wanted to become angry and lash back, but my heart was much too heavy at the thought that he would spend eternity in hell. When we meet opposition regarding sharing our faith, it is very easy to become offended at those who mock or push back; perhaps our first instinct is to turn our backs on them or set it in our heart to never discuss the Lord around them ever again. Instead of bitterness or offense towards those who might not agree with our beliefs, we should have compassion on them because, at one time, before Christ saved us, we too were enemies of God and lost. Even if our unsaved friends and family hurt us, these situations should truly drive us to our knees to pray for our lost loved ones. We have to ask the Lord to help us keep our hearts from resentment or offense that would drive a wedge between us or even tempt us to burn a bridge. The Lord is so faithful to fill us up with love for the unlovable. We, too, were the unlovable ones, but God lavished His love upon the cross. Romans 5 is a powerful chapter in the book of Romans, and in verse 8, we are reminded of God’s great love for us: “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8, NASB) Intersecting Faith & Life: God loved us so much that He gave His only Son to die for sinners. Not only should this truth cause us to rejoice in the gift of our own salvation, but it should fill our hearts with so much hope that God’s mercy is available to those whom we love. We have to rest in the Lord’s sovereignty and remember that His ways are higher; No amount of persuasive, articulate words of man’s wisdom can save them - the power of salvation is found in the gospel We have to be careful not to look at our lost loved ones as an argument to win, but a soul that the Lord is more than able to save and rescue from sin and death. If we personally cannot reach them with our words of truth, we can pray that the Lord may bring someone else who could share the gospel with them. Do you long for your family and friends to know God as you do? Does it often feel impossible to get through to them regarding the things of God? Do not lose heart, and continue to pray for their eyes to be opened. Ask the Lord to begin to prepare their heart to receive His grace to believe that Jesus is the only way to true forgiveness and eternal life. God loves them so much because He created them. Let us have hope that those who seem unreachable can be reached by God Almighty. His grace draws sinners to repentance, and if you are a believer, you are living proof of that. No one is too far gone for His arm to rescue!

The world often tells us we can’t help anyone else until we’ve fully taken care of ourselves first. And while rest and care matter, Scripture calls believers to a different kind of mindset—one rooted in humility, sacrifice, and dependence on God’s strength rather than our own. In today’s devotional, we’re reminded that Jesus didn’t wait until everything felt comfortable or easy before serving others. Instead, He poured Himself out completely in obedience to the Father. His life was marked by humility, selflessness, and a willingness to put others first. Paul challenges us in Philippians 2 to live with that same attitude—choosing to consider others more important than ourselves and looking beyond our own interests. That kind of love isn’t possible through sheer willpower. It requires God’s grace. When we feel depleted, we’re tempted to retreat inward, distract ourselves, or try to fill our emptiness with things that don’t truly satisfy. But God invites us to come to Him first. He supplies strength when we have none, and He teaches us how to love others even in our weakness. Being “poured out” doesn’t mean living burned out—it means living surrendered. It means trusting God to fill what we cannot, and letting Him use our lives to reflect Christ’s humility and love. Main Takeaways God calls believers to live with humility and selflessness, not self-focus. Jesus modeled what it looks like to pour out your life for others. True strength to serve comes from God’s grace, not personal endurance. Feeling empty can become an invitation to rely more fully on Christ. God uses weakness to shape us and reflect His power through us. Today's Bible Reading:“Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others” (Philippians 2:3-4, NASB).

Pediatrician and certified coach Jessie Mahoney discusses her article "Leading with love: a physician's guide to clarity and compassion." Jessie shares how a personal crisis involving her husband's severe depression forced her to abandon her training in logic and control for a more intuitive approach. She explains how the simple question "What would love do?" became a compass that transformed her decision-making in both the clinic and the boardroom. The conversation challenges the misconception that love is too soft for health care, arguing instead that it provides the necessary strength for boundaries and honest leadership. Jessie details how this shift from managing to connecting can fund wellness programs and heal the broken culture of medicine.

The most damaging words we hear are often the ones we say to ourselves. Negative self-talk—phrases like “I’m not good enough” or “I’m a failure”—can quietly shape how we see our worth. Over time, those words begin to feel like truth. But Scripture reminds us in Proverbs 15:4 that our words hold power: “The soothing tongue is a tree of life, but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit.” While this verse certainly applies to how we speak to others, it also applies to how we speak to ourselves. God never intended for our internal dialogue to crush our spirit. Highlights Negative self-talk often stems from comparison and unmet expectations Internal words can wound as deeply as spoken ones Awareness is the first step in silencing harmful self-criticism God’s Word offers life-giving truth to replace destructive thoughts Speaking to ourselves with kindness reflects God’s grace toward us This episode is sponsored by Trinity Debt Management.

As someone who struggles with negative self-talk, it is hard not to speak badly about myself. Growing up, I could never measure up to my sisters in skill or ability, and even in the present day, I still feel that I fall short. I’m not a gifted speaker, writer, or artist like my family members, and this makes me feel insecure. My eldest sister was a pro at basketball, and my dad loved watching her play. She was also great at drawing various creatures, including Pokémon, as they were her favorite. My other older sister is a master at writing, crafting stories, creating artwork, and playing the piano. My mom used to praise her splendid piano concertos and art assignments. I tried my best at art, music, and sports, but I was never good enough. I simply couldn’t measure up. There was no praise, encouragement, or someone cheering me on from the sidelines. This left me feeling completely worthless, which led to the start of negative self-talk. A few days ago, I was sitting in my primary care doctor’s office when my doctor asked me why I was so glum. I didn’t want to go into detail with him about recent events that led me back to the same feelings of worthlessness. I chose to look at the white and blue checked floors as he went through a depression screening with me. As someone with clinical depression, I’m no stranger to these screenings; however, I had never scored so high as I did at that appointment. I left the office with a new prescription and a referral to restart therapy, but I did not feel hopeful. On the drive home, I told myself, “I’m just not good enough,” and “I’m a failure.” Anytime we are condescending, hurtful, or mean to ourselves, we are practicing negative self-talk. When I was in therapy years ago, my therapist asked me to name an adult figure in my life who had been supportive of me. My first thought was my grandma; I called her Mawmaw. My therapist asked me to think of a time when Mawmaw was proud of me. After thinking for a few minutes, my mind flashed back to when my Mawmaw told me I was good at making other people laugh and smile. Her warm smile filled my heart, and I finally felt like I was good at something. To stop negative self-talk thoughts, we are going to have to dig deep. I didn’t remember the words of my Mawmaw right away, yet after searching for them, I finally knew I could heal. Negative self-talk can eat away at us, yet we must become aware of its voice. Once we start naming negative self-talk and addressing it, we will notice the voice grow quieter. Intersecting Faith & Life: The Bible tells us, “The soothing tongue is a tree of life, but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit” (Proverbs 15:4). Whenever we are tempted to start talking badly about ourselves, we need to reflect on this passage. While many people think Proverbs 15:4 is only referring to our communication with others, it also includes the way we communicate with ourselves. By following Proverbs 15:4, we will begin to speak kindly to ourselves. It might sound cliché, but it is important to talk to ourselves as we would talk to a friend. We wouldn’t make mean or derogatory remarks to our friends; therefore, we don’t need to talk to ourselves in this manner. We need to use our words to build ourselves up rather than tearing ourselves down (Ephesians 4:29). As you navigate life more positively, remember to end the cycle of negative self-talk. Avoid comparing yourself to others or thinking negatively about yourself because of how others have treated you. Focus on what God says about you in the Bible, memorize Bible passages, and reflect upon His love when you are struggling. Stopping comparison and blotting out unhelpful comments can make a world of difference. How might you start taking Proverbs 15:4 to heart today? What would your self-talk look like if you started being kinder to yourself?
