One of the most famous writers of the 20th century, C. S. Lewis was a scholar of medieval literature, an influential Christian thinker and a supremely gifted storyteller. A professor at the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, Lewis is perhaps best known for his Chronicles of Narnia – stories which captured the imagination of millions with their blend of spiritual depth and swashbuckling adventure. But how were the seeds of the magical world of Narnia first planted? How did Lewis' unconventional personal life, and the writers and scholars with whom he spent his days, influence his work? And what part did his complex relationship with faith play in the stories that still enchant adults and children around the world? This is a Short History Of C.S. Lewis. A Noiser podcast production. Hosted by John Hopkins. With thanks to Dr Michael Ward from the Faculty of Theology at the University of Oxford, and author of Planet Narnia: The Seven Heavens in the Imagination of C.S. Lewis.

It’s easy to move through life noticing what’s on the surface. We see how people present themselves—their confidence, their success, their outward expressions—and we often assume that tells the whole story. But Scripture reminds us otherwise: “The LORD looks at the heart” (1 Samuel 16:7). Every person carries an inner world that isn’t immediately visible. Beneath appearances, there are hidden struggles, quiet fears, unspoken griefs, and unmet longings. While we may not always see these things, they are real—and they matter deeply to God. We often try to hide what’s going on inside us. Vulnerability can feel risky. We fear rejection, misunderstanding, or being seen as weak. So we present a version of ourselves that feels safer, even if it isn’t fully honest. But God invites us into something different. He sees beyond the surface and cares about what’s happening in our hearts. And He calls us to extend that same kind of awareness and compassion to others. When we begin to recognize that everyone around us is carrying something unseen, it changes how we interact. We become more patient, more understanding, and more willing to listen. James 5:16 encourages believers to share their struggles and pray for one another so that healing can take place. There is something powerful about being known—about allowing someone else to see what we’ve been carrying inside. And there is also something powerful about being the kind of person who creates a safe space for others to be honest. This doesn’t mean we force deep conversations with everyone we meet. But it does mean we approach others with empathy, recognizing that there is always more beneath the surface. When we allow ourselves to be honest before God and open with others in wise and safe ways, we create opportunities for healing, connection, and grace. And in those moments, we reflect the heart of a God who sees, understands, and cares deeply about what’s within us. Main Takeaways God looks beyond outward appearances and sees the heart. Every person carries unseen struggles and emotions. Vulnerability can lead to healing and deeper connection. Believers are called to approach others with compassion and understanding. Creating safe spaces for honesty reflects God’s love and care. Today’s Bible Verse “The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” - 1 Samuel 16:7 Your Daily Prayer Prayer excerpt for listeners: “Lord, help me see others with compassion and be honest about what’s in my own heart.” Listen to the full prayer here.

Words are powerful. Though small and easily spoken, they can carry immense weight—capable of bringing comfort or causing deep wounds. Scripture compares the tongue to a fire, something that can quickly grow out of control and cause lasting damage. In James 3, we are reminded that even a small spark can set an entire forest ablaze. In the same way, a single careless or angry word can leave scars that linger far longer than we expect. Many of us know what it feels like to be on the receiving end of those words—to be hurt, discouraged, or deeply wounded by something spoken in anger. And if we’re honest, we also know what it’s like to be the one who spoke too quickly. Anger itself is not the problem—but unrestrained anger often leads to words we cannot take back. In those moments, our natural response may be to fight fire with fire—to return hurt for hurt. But Scripture calls us to a different way. Jesus modeled this perfectly. Even when He was insulted and mistreated, He did not respond with harsh words. Instead, He chose restraint, grace, and trust in the Father. His example shows us that strength is not found in reacting quickly, but in responding wisely. When we are hurt by others, forgiveness can feel incredibly difficult. Yet holding onto anger only continues the cycle of pain. God invites us to release that burden, to forgive as we have been forgiven, and to allow His Spirit to guide our responses. Likewise, when we are tempted to speak in anger, we can ask God to help us pause—to listen more than we speak, and to choose words that build up rather than tear down. The same mouth that can wound also has the power to heal. Through the work of the Holy Spirit, our words can become instruments of encouragement, truth, and grace. Main Takeaways Words have the power to deeply wound or to bring healing. Uncontrolled anger can lead to harmful speech. Believers are called to respond to hurt with grace, not retaliation. Jesus modeled restraint and love even when facing harsh words. The Holy Spirit helps guide our speech and transform our responses. Today’s Bible Verse “When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell” (James 3:3-6, NIV).

Episode 3498: Anthony Ongaro challenges the common habit of automatically donating unwanted items, explaining how overloaded donation centers often can't resell everything. He argues that selling items first helps recover value, encourages more intentional consumption, and ensures products actually continue their lifecycle with someone who wants them. His approach reframes decluttering as a responsible, sustainable process rather than simply passing clutter somewhere else. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.breakthetwitch.com/stop-donating/ Quotes to ponder: "Dropping a bunch of things off at the donation center really just makes your clutter someone else's problem." "If no one wants to buy it from you, what are the chances that someone else will be able to sell it, including the donation center?" "The most sustainable item is the one that already exists."

Episode 3499: Darrow Kirkpatrick explains that the traditional idea of retirement, working steadily until benefits begin, is often unrealistic for modern retirees facing early retirement, delayed Social Security, or staggered spousal timelines. He introduces the concept of modeling uneven retirement income using a detailed cash-flow approach to better understand how savings, expenses, and investment returns interact over time. By building your own financial model, you gain the ability to adapt quickly to life changes and make more confident retirement decisions. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.caniretireyet.com/how-to-model-the-retirement-income-gap/ Quotes to ponder: "The textbook, or fairy tale, version of retirement goes something like this: you work your entire career, until you save your retirement 'number,' or reach the pension or Social Security age around 65." "If you're serious about modeling and understanding your cash flow in retirement, knowing if you'll have enough, how do you handle this kind of retirement income 'gap'?" "Ultimately, what you wind up with from a cash flow analysis, is a long term picture of your net worth, year after year, going into the future." Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 3952: Michael Mehlberg argues that the most powerful “life hack” isn't productivity tricks, it's having a clear purpose that guides every decision you make. When your actions align with a deeper reason for being, distractions fade, motivation grows, and even success gets redefined on your own terms. Discovering your purpose can transform how you spend your time, how fulfilled you feel, and even how long and meaningfully you live. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.moderndavinci.net/blog/2019/6/5/an-obvious-life-hack-nobody-seems-to Quotes to ponder: "Purpose gives you focus. When you have a single guiding light to follow, everything else lies on the fringe." "Loading your day with meaningful activities that align with your reason for being fills you up with energy, happiness, and satisfaction." "Goals, when not aligned with your purpose, will distract you from doing what's necessary to live a life of meaning."

Many believers carry a quiet burden—the longing to see loved ones come to know Jesus. Whether it’s a family member, friend, or coworker, we recognize their need for hope, peace, and truth. Yet even with that desire, we can feel unsure, hesitant, or even inadequate when it comes to sharing our faith. We often think boldness means having the courage to say all the right words at the right time. We imagine bold faith as something loud, visible, and fearless. And when we don’t feel that way, we may begin to believe we’re falling short. But biblical boldness is not always about volume—it’s about faithfulness. In Philippians 1:27, Paul encourages believers to live in a way that is “worthy of the gospel of Christ.” This kind of boldness is seen not only in what we say, but in how we live. It shows up in our choices, our attitudes, and our responses to others. Boldness can look like extending kindness when others choose criticism. It can look like offering prayer when someone is hurting, even if it feels uncomfortable. It can look like choosing integrity in situations where compromise would be easier. These everyday actions reflect the heart of Christ and quietly point others toward Him. Sharing the gospel is important, and we should continue to pray for opportunities and courage to speak truth clearly. But we should not underestimate the power of a life that consistently reflects Jesus. Love, peace, humility, and grace are testimonies that others can see and experience firsthand. God uses both our words and our actions to reach others. When we take even small steps of obedience, He works through them in ways we may not immediately see. If you feel hesitant or unsure, you are not alone. Ask God for boldness—not just to speak, but to live in a way that reflects His love. Trust that He is already at work in the lives of the people around you, and that He can use your faithfulness to draw them closer to Him. Main Takeaways Many believers desire to share their faith but struggle with boldness. Boldness is not only about speaking—it is also about how we live. Living in a way that reflects Christ is a powerful witness to others. Small acts of obedience can have a lasting spiritual impact. God uses both our words and actions to reach those around us. Today’s Bible Verse Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the gospel.

Episode 3497: Courtney Luke explains how escaping the debt cycle starts with simple but disciplined financial habits like cutting credit card use, adjusting lifestyle choices, and committing to consistent payments.

Luke shows how small financial changes today can build a stronger and more secure financial future.

Dr. Mariel Buqué opens with a revelation that stops you in your tracks: trauma isn't just something that happened to you, it is something that was passed down to you at the genetic level, beginning at conception. Most people move through life in a low-grade survival state, reacting to triggers they cannot explain, carrying the emotional weight of ancestors who never got the chance to heal. This is why depression, anxiety, and a persistent sense of not being enough feel so impossible to shake, they were wired in long before you had any say. Dr. Buqué walks you through how to regulate your nervous system daily, how to challenge the limiting beliefs that run your life, and why healing your body first unlocks your ability to think, create, and finally thrive. The work is hard and it bends you into uncomfortable shapes, but today is always a good day to start breaking the cycle.

This week, Kate is breaking her hiatus for a special report recorded before Thursday's news that ABC was scrapping TFP's season of The Bachelorette. Ultimately, she decided this episode was still a relevant conversation to have, given that she and her guest (Sam Dalton, LCSW @sam.the.therapistt) talked through the systems and cycles that made this week's fallout unsurprising long before the video leaked. Together, they unpack the rose colored glass ceiling of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, where women perform rebellion without ever actually leaving the structures that constrain them. They discuss how ABC and Hulu built a cross-platform content pipeline on top of a woman's unresolved trauma, why the show's premise was always rooted in Taylor's reactivity, the pattern of Dakota's strategic sabotage, what it means when healing requires the opposite of what reality TV rewards, and the uncomfortable question of why so many of us, Kate included, glossed over a 2023 aggravated assault charge that was packaged as the starting point of a redemption arc. Content note: this episode discusses domestic violence, child abuse allegations, and toxic relationship dynamics. SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS! Order Kate's NYT Bestselling book, One in a Millennial here!

Andrew grew up in the shadow of his older brothers and disconnected from his father. Paired with early pornography exposure, he developed an incomplete and insecure understanding of his masculinity, which manifested in same-sex attractions. However, several key events, including some important risks, helped him better understand his God-given masculinity and sexuality -- to the point where he's now happily married with children and helping others with their sexual brokenness.

There is something uniquely peaceful about the early morning. Before the noise of the day begins, there is a quiet invitation to sit with God—to listen, to speak, and to simply be in His presence. Morning reminds us that each day is a fresh start, a new opportunity to walk with Him. Psalm 5:3 captures this beautifully: “In the morning, Lord, You hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before You and wait expectantly.” God is not distant or distracted. He hears us. He meets us right where we are, even in the stillness of a new day. Spring mirrors this same sense of renewal. After months of cold and dormancy, life begins to reappear—buds form, colors return, and warmth slowly replaces the chill of winter. It’s a reminder that seasons of barrenness do not last forever. Just as morning brings light after darkness, spring reflects the deeper truth of new life found in Christ. Jesus declared in John 11:25 that He is the resurrection and the life. His resurrection is the ultimate picture of renewal—life overcoming death, hope rising where despair once lingered. When we welcome both a new morning and a new season like spring, we are reminded of God’s faithfulness. His mercies are new every morning. His love continues to renew and restore us, even after difficult or dry seasons in our lives. Spring invites us to open our hearts again—to notice God’s work around us and within us. It calls us to trust that just as He brings life to the earth, He is also bringing new life to our hearts. Main Takeaways Morning is a powerful time to connect with God in stillness and prayer. God hears our prayers and invites us to seek Him at the start of each day. Spring reflects God’s faithfulness and the promise of renewal. Jesus is the ultimate source of new life and hope. Every new day is an opportunity to trust God and follow His leading.

Join us for an awe-inspiring conversation with astrobiologist and astronomer Caleb Scharf as he eloquently makes the case for "dispersal," the nearly inevitable advance of life and humanity across our solar neighborhood. From the book: "The idea of Dispersal is one where the sheer scale and scope of life’s future extension into the solar system profoundly changes things: not because of some new (and unlikely) cultural enlightenment from within but because of what the enormous expanse of space will do to dilute and change our species and all others.” Adam Frank says of the book, “If we can make it through the many crises of the next century, then the Solar System and the stars beyond await us. In The Giant Leap, Caleb Scharf demonstrates how becoming a true space-faring species is more than just humanity’s future.” Discover more at: https://www.planetary.org/planetary-radio/book-club-caleb-scharfSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Spring is a time of new beginnings. When I was younger, it reminded me that the endless days of darkness were behind me. As someone who struggles with depression, spring brings a renewed sense of hope. It helps me feel more positive about life and breaks the cycle of staying inside, hiding from the world, and feeling empty. When spring arrives, we are greeted by blooming flowers and the warm sun on our faces. Many springs have filled my heart with joy and given me a fresh start emotionally. There is something about winter’s darkness that brings dread, yet spring ushers in hope and joy. You may have experienced this too; spring has a way of leading our hearts toward warmth, tranquility, and happiness. A few years ago, I began searching for subtle signs of spring even during the winter months. On walks, I would look for the tiniest flower bud or a green vine stretching quietly in the shadows. Without fail, God would reveal a small sign of what was coming. Even the smallest glimpse gave me hope for happier, warmer, longer days ahead. The frigid season was passing, and spring was on its way. Spring feels especially beautiful after winter because it restores our view of the world’s beauty. During winter, nature lies dormant; in spring, it awakens and flourishes once again. Spring is not a season to overlook, even if it stirs up our allergies. Instead, we can rejoice in it and give God glory for the fresh start we have in Him. Just as the earth returns to life, we can experience renewal too, especially if winter has been a difficult season for us. If winter was hard, we need to be honest with ourselves without condemning our struggles. Some seasons are heavier than others. Yet we can hold onto the promise that spring will come. Some years it may feel delayed, but it will arrive. And when it does, we can rejoice and praise the Lord with hopeful hearts. Intersecting Faith & Life: The Bible tells us, “When a king’s face brightens, it means life; his favor is like a rain cloud in spring” (Proverbs 16:15). In biblical times, retaining a king’s favor was vital. His disfavor could result in death, but his approval meant protection and preservation. Likewise, a rain cloud in spring is a blessing. It nourishes the plants and flowers, sustaining their growth. In the same way, a king’s joy brought life to his people. The proverb reminds us that favor and blessing produce renewal, just as spring rain revives the earth. Take special notice of spring this year and allow it to warm your soul. Winter has passed, along with its bitter cold and long, dark days. The sorrow and mental heaviness that sometimes accompany those months can begin to lift as well. Spring carries the promise of new life, renewed joy, and restored hope. Praise the Lord for the beauty and life He brings through this season. What is your favorite thing about the season of spring? What are a few ways you can give God praise for the beauty of spring?

Following Jesus often begins with small, daily choices that require us to set aside our own desires in order to serve others. These moments can appear ordinary—helping someone in need, offering encouragement, or sacrificing our time for those we love. Yet these everyday acts reflect something deeply spiritual: the practice of “dying to self.” In 1 Corinthians 15:31, the Apostle Paul wrote that he “dies daily.” Paul understood that living for Christ requires a continual surrender of our own ambitions, preferences, and comforts. The Christian life isn’t about pursuing self-centered goals; it’s about allowing Christ’s character to shape our actions. Jesus Himself modeled this perfectly. Though He was fully God, He chose to live in humility and dependence on the Father. He spent time in prayer, sought God’s will, and dedicated His life to serving others. As Mark 10:45 reminds us, Jesus did not come to be served, but to serve. Imitating Christ means learning to follow that same pattern. It may involve sacrificing our time, choosing patience when we feel frustrated, or putting someone else’s needs ahead of our own. These choices are not always easy. Our natural instincts often push us toward comfort and self-interest. But the good news is that we are not expected to live this way through our own strength. God has given believers the Holy Spirit to guide and empower us. As we remain connected to Christ, the Spirit produces qualities like love, patience, kindness, and self-control in our lives. When we surrender our desires and follow Christ’s example, we discover something surprising: true joy often grows from a life of selfless service. What may initially feel like sacrifice becomes a pathway to deeper purpose and fulfillment. Every day presents new opportunities to reflect Christ’s love. As we choose humility, service, and obedience, we grow into people who more clearly mirror the heart of Jesus. Main Takeaways The Christian life involves daily surrender and “dying to self.” Jesus modeled humility, obedience, and service during His life on earth. Imitating Christ often happens through small acts of sacrifice and love. The Holy Spirit empowers believers to live selflessly. Serving others reflects the character and love of Christ. Today’s Bible Verse “I affirm, brethren, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily” (1 Corinthians 15:31, NASB).

Are your vitamins causing nerve pain? Discover the vitamins that worsen nerve pain and peripheral neuropathy, why certain nerve pain vitamins make matters worse, and what you can do to fix it.0:00 Introduction: Vitamins that worsen nerve pain0:12 Vitamin B6 1:59 Vitamin B12 4:17 Vitamin B1 deficiency and peripheral neuropathy4:35 Nerve pain vitamins 5:39 Alpha-lipoic acid for peripheral neuropathy6:41 Avoiding vitamins that worsen nerve pain Download Dr. Berg's Free Daily Health Routine: https://drbrg.co/45qtO07If it seems that your vitamins are making nerve pain worse, the solution might be simple. Vitamin B6 is vital in neurotransmission, but must be converted to its active form through the liver. Unconverted vitamin B6 can accumulate in the body and affect the nervous system if your liver is sluggish, if you don't have enough bile, or if you're low in glutathione. Inflammation, high blood sugar, and low magnesium can also inhibit your ability to make this conversion. Most vitamin B12 supplements contain cyanocobalamin, which is useless unless converted into the active form, methylcobalamin. Vitamin B1 is vital in supporting the mitochondria and the myelin sheath. Low vitamin B1 is a common cause of peripheral neuropathy. Vitamins B1, B6, and B12 are water-soluble vitamins, so they can't easily penetrate the brain and myelin sheath. Benfotiamine is a fat-soluble form of vitamin B1 that can penetrate the myelin sheath to help reverse peripheral neuropathy. Alpha-lipoic acid is a powerful antioxidant that can help with peripheral neuropathy, support mitochondrial function, and improve insulin sensitivity. Key takeaways:1. Use the right forms of vitamin B1, vitamin B6, and vitamin B122. Don't go over 50 mg per day3. Ensure you have enough bile4. Consume fermented foods5. Make sure your insulin is balanced6.

The Power of Modeling: Accountability begins with the leader; if those in positions of authority do not own their mistakes or seek feedback, others in the organization are unlikely to do so. Defining Results: In a faith context, “results” should be defined broadly—such as bringing people closer to Christ—and then distilled into specific goals, such as building testimonies or improving how members feel about their Sunday experience. Setting Clear Expectations: High-performing teams agree on general guidelines for how they will work together—such as preferred communication methods and response times—before diving into the work. Three Habits of Personal Accountability: Michael highlights three essential behaviors for leaders: avoiding blame, “looking in the mirror” to see how they contributed to a problem, and “engineering the solution” by fixing broken systems or processes. Motivation Through Ownership: Motivating volunteers is best achieved by giving them a say in outcomes, providing frequent positive feedback to trigger a sense of progress, and granting them true decision-making power within councils. Leadership Applications Requesting Feedback: Leaders can improve performance by sincerely asking those they lead for feedback on how to make it easier for them to achieve their goals. Systemic Problem Solving: When a task is not completed, Michael suggests leaders should ask “where did the process break down?” rather than “who dropped the ball?” to reduce defensiveness and improve future results. Standardizing Procedures: Implementing standard operating procedures for recurring events—such as meeting agendas or baptismal services—helps ensure consistency and reduces the mental load on volunteers.

Let's have some fun. On today's minisode of The CLS Experience we have a mini bonus injection of consciousness. This one challenges you to stop listening passively and start engaging with the version of you that your life is calling forward. Dive into the concept of the identity gap, the space between who you currently experience yourself as and who you are becoming. Explore why growth is not a strategy or discipline problem, but an internal misalignment where your results are expanding faster than your self concept. Discover how more money, visibility, and opportunity can actually feel uncomfortable when your identity is still anchored in the past.

West, author of Endowed by Our Creator: The Bible, Science, and the Battle for America's Soul. Marking America's 250th anniversary, they unpack the Declaration of Independence's timeless truths—that all men are created equal, endowed by their Creator with unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness—rooted in biblical principles, natural law, and the founders' belief in objective morality. West reveals how these "self-evident" ideas made America a unique creed-based nation and why surveys show most Americans today misunderstand or reject their divine source. The discussion contrasts the American founding with the French Revolution's utopian failures, then traces how 19th-century Darwinian evolution undermined human equality, objective morality, human exceptionalism, and consent-based government—fueling racism, eugenics, moral relativism, and technocratic rule. Yet West offers hope: modern science increasingly reaffirms a Creator, human dignity, and the Declaration's core truths. Essential viewing for anyone passionate about America's founding principles, liberty, virtue, and the future of the nation. Get the book now! "Endowed by Our Creator" by John G.
