Podcasts about Doubt

Doubt is one of the most silent and persistent forces in leadership — and it takes more principals out of the game than burnout, conflict, or workload ever will. In this first episode of our 3-part leadership series, we break down the truth about doubt: what it is, why it shows up, and how it quietly erodes confidence, clarity, and culture inside schools. Drawing from insights from my mentor Paul Martinelli and 20+ years of leading and coaching school administrators, this episode will help you understand doubt as more than an emotion—it's a signal, a teacher, and sometimes a trap. In this episode, you'll learn: Why even highly successful leaders wrestle with doubt The 5 types of doubt that show up in school leadership How doubt creates the emotional space where assumptions grow Why doubt is not a weakness—but silence around it is How doubt turns into hesitation, overthinking, and poor decision-making The mindset shift every leader needs to break the doubt cycle The truth vs. fact distinction that can transform your confidence How to move into 2026 with clarity, purpose, and conviction Doubt never disappears—but how you interpret it determines whether it becomes a catalyst for growth or a weapon against your potential. This episode sets the foundation for Lesson 2 on Assumptive Leadership—the behavior that destroys trust faster than anything else in schools.

Assumptions are the most dangerous form of leadership — not because they're loud, but because they're silent. In this second episode of the 3-part leadership series on Doubt, Assumptive Leadership, and Cultural Erosion, we expose how assumptions quietly destroy trust, relationships, clarity, and alignment inside schools. Assumptions don't start with behavior. They start in your mind — in the stories you create when you don't have all the information. And because leaders operate under immense pressure, these stories often turn into: resentment miscommunication broken trust culture drift In this episode, you'll learn: What's inside Lesson 2: Why “in the absence of information, we assume the worst” The 5 types of assumptions that erode school culture How assumptions form when doubt is left unaddressed The “Assumption Gap” and how it grows silently inside teams Warning signs you're leading by assumption (not fact or truth) My real-life 7:30 classroom-door story and what it revealed How assumptive leadership wastes emotional energy and damages relationships Three proven strategies to eliminate assumptions from your leadership: Clarifying expectations Declaring noble intent Leading with questions instead of narratives How to transform assumptions into observations and productive conversations Assumptions are common — but they are not harmless. This lesson gives you practical tools to eliminate assumptive leadership and rebuild trust one conversation at a time. This sets the stage for Lesson 3, where we tie it all together and show how doubt + assumptions = culture erosion — and how to reverse the entire cycle.

In what was the most watched regular season game in NFL History on Thanksgiving, the Chiefs fell short yet again in claiming a victory, losing 31-28 to the Cowboys. Now at 6-6 on the year with only 5 games left in the season, the Chiefs playoff hopes are in serious doubt. We talk about the continuous issues plaguing the team, the coaching discourse, and looked ahead towards SNF vs the Texans.Follow us @KingdomSaysPodlinktr.ee/kingdomsaysMISSOURI: Draftkings Sportsbook is here!

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.Most traders think success is all about being right on the very next move. Call the top, call the bottom, nail the perfect entry. But this video flips that whole idea on its head in the best way possible. What really separates profitable traders from frustrated ones is not prediction. It is having a real edge, trusting the math, and sticking with the plan when things feel uncomfortable.This breakdown walks through why judging yourself or anyone else based on one trade, five trades, or even ten trades is a massive mistake. A single win does not make you a genius. A single loss does not make you a failure. Trading does not work that way in real life. What matters is how your results stack up over hundreds and thousands of trades using a proven strategy.You will see exactly what a true mathematical edge looks like in action. A system with a realistic win rate around 55 percent might not sound exciting on the surface. But when that edge is applied consistently, with clean risk control and zero guesswork, the long-term results can be powerful. The uncomfortable truth is that even great systems still go through painful drawdowns, flat periods, and strings of losses. That is not broken trading. That is normal trading.Halfway through the video, the message becomes impossible to ignore:✅ One trade is noise, not proof✅ Even profitable traders hit long losing streaks✅ Small edges compounded over time create big results✅ Drawdowns are part of the process, not a failure✅ Discipline matters more than being right todayThere is also a real look at how different plans perform over time. From active strategies to cash-based approaches to retired systems, you see how returns actually behave in the real world. Some years are great. Some years are slow. Some years are frustrating. But over time, the systems with positive expectancy do what the math says they should. They grow.The most important lesson here is psychological. Most traders quit right before the edge can even show up. Two losses turn into doubt. Doubt turns into abandoning the system. Abandoning the system wipes out any chance of long-term success. This video shows why patience is not optional if you want to win consistently.There is also a big reminder that you do not trade for the internet. You trade for yourself. You do not need to prove anything with one lucky win or spiral after one bad loss. The real power comes from staying locked in on the long game, trusting tested data, and executing without emotion.If you have ever questioned a good strategy too early, felt shaken by a drawdown, or wondered whether your edge actually works, this video will snap your perspective back into place. Profitable trading is a marathon, not a highlight reel. Once that really sinks in, everything changes.Gain instant access to the AI-powered tools and behavioral insights top traders use to spot big moves before the crowd. Start trading smarter today

BT & Sal are fired up over the Yankees' hot stove buzz, particularly the stunning report that the Yankees are "not expected to be a threat" to sign top free-agent closer Edwin Diaz. Sal argues the Yankees should be a threat to sign every elite player, while Tierney is slightly less concerned, noting the team already has a cheap, controlled, and effective closer in Bednar. The conversation pivots to the Yankees' need for a massive offensive upgrade, with Sal expressing frustration that the Yankees are once again being "priced out" of the top tier of talent, unlike the Mets or Dodgers. The hosts agree that the Yankees must pivot aggressively to get better after losing Soto and not letting other rivals gain ground. The segment closes with breaking news that Cody Bellinger remains the Yankees' number one target, making a "big effort" to sign him, although the hosts debate if he'll give them a hometown discount or leave for the highest bidder.

今回は 「自分と向き合うとはどういうことか？」 がテーマ。内側での変化と、まだ外に現れていない状態、「間」の季節をどう感じるかについて深く探ります。 1. 恐怖と疑念 / Reframing Fear and Doubt 恐怖や疑念は止まるためのものではなく、次の一歩を映す鏡。勇気は恐怖があるからこそ生まれます。 2. 「間」の季節 / Navigating the "In-Between" 内側は変わっても、外の現実はまだ追いつかない。この不完全さの時間も成長の一部。拒絶や挑戦も、新しい可能性へのリダイレクションです。 3. 二元性 / Understanding Duality 恐怖と平安、興奮と不安――相反する感情は同時に存在します。両方を抱えながら、どこにエネルギーを置くかを意識することが重要です。 4. 信頼から知覚へ / Shifting from Trust → Knowing 小さな一歩を重ねることで、信頼は自然な知覚へ。繰り返す経験を通して、体で理解できるようになります。   My Coaching Service:  もし今、こんな感覚を抱えていたら 結果は出してきたのに、これ以上進めない 外から見れば順調なのに、内側は止まったまま はっきり言えない違和感がずっと残っている 何をやっても前のように動けない 次の章に行きたいのに、方向が見えない その静かな混乱には、理由があります。 あなたはいま、転機の真ん中にいます。 これまでのやり方では前に進めない。 でも新しい道もまだ見えない。 そのIn Between, 間をどう進むかが、次の章を決めていきます。 私のコーチングは、 内側で起きている変化を整理し、 言葉になっていない本音を読み解きながら、 これからの方向性を"自分に合う形"で明確にしていくプロセスです。 判断力が戻る 無理のない方向性がはっきりする 何にエネルギーを使えばいいか迷わなくなる これまでの成功と、これからの願いがつながる 心と体が軽く動き出す あなたが求めているのは、努力ではなく明瞭さ。 その明瞭さを、この場所で一緒に取り戻していきます。 詳細リンク

Welcome to episode 226 of Grasp the Bible. In this episode, Pastor Drew continues our study, "Piercing Questions: From the One Who Was Pierced." Today we will cover:• A question on Doubt.• “Why did you doubt?” — Matthew 14:31Key Takeaways:• Great faith can quickly become great fear — and fear opens the door to doubt.• Doubt is a lack of confidence in God's character, God's power, or God's promises.• We can see God move powerfully and still allow doubt to creep in.• Doubt grows when human logic overshadows faith.• Satan uses doubt as one of his oldest tools — 'Did God actually say?' (Genesis 3).• Doubt pulls our eyes from the Protector and fixes them on the problem.• Doubt is defeated by remembering what God has done, what He has promised, and who He is.Quotable:• “The wind and waves were always there — doubt overcomes us when we give more attention to our problems than our Protector.”• “Once we understand what God has done in the past and promised for the future, we can act in faith instead of doubt.”• “Faith is stepping out — fear keeps us from stepping to Jesus.”Application:• Recognize that doubt is a confidence problem — not a circumstance problem.• Ask God to help your unbelief (Mark 9:24).• Remember His deeds (Psalm 77:11) and His promises — faith comes by hearing the Word (Romans 10:17).• Submit your logic to God's truth — don't let reasoning overshadow faith.• Keep your eyes on Jesus, not the wind and waves.• Worship as your response — let it anchor your heart.• Take your step out of the boat — obedience builds faith.Connect with us:Website: https://springbaptist.orgFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/SBCKleinCampus (Klein Campus)https://www.facebook.com/SpringBaptist (Spring Campus)Need us to pray for you?

What does youth ministry look like when the world — and young people — are changing faster than ever? In this in-person episode recorded at Broomfield United Methodist Church, host Loren Richmond Jr. sits down with longtime student ministries director Mike Orr to talk about faith formation, Gen Z and Gen Alpha, belonging, spiritual maturity, and what it really means to cultivate community in a post-Christian culture. With warmth, honesty, and decades of ministry experience, Mike reflects on: Highlights from the Conversation His early spiritual experiences and how actual transformation — not willpower — shaped his faith. The surprising power of belonging-first ministry for Gen Z & Gen Alpha. Why emotionally coercive youth ministry of the 90s left deep marks — and how churches can do better. How to hold space for students with radically different political or cultural views. Why youth ministry should never be about indoctrination, but about helping young people own and explore their faith. How to handle deconstruction as a natural part of spiritual growth. The crisis facing young men — and how to model a healthier version of Christian masculinity. Why the future of church isn't about producing spiritual “products,” but creating a context where real faith can flourish. The essential role parents play in forming faith, whether they realize it or not. His hope for Christianity: “Keep adding leaves to the table. There's room for everyone.” This is a rich, grounded conversation about what actually works in youth ministry today — and what kind of church the next generation is longing for. Mike Orr has been a youth worker since the late 1990's, serving churches in Pennsylvania, Connecticut, California, and Colorado. He earned his MDiv from Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California. For over 10 years he has been the Director of Student Ministries at Broomfield United Methodist Church, located in the northern suburbs of Denver, CO. He lives with his wife and 3 dogs in Denver, CO. He has written zero books.    Mentioned Resources:

Balance in board games is one of those much-talked-about topics that keeps cropping up. Some people want games to be perfectly balanced, so that players' only advantage comes from their skill and hours of practice and graft. Others relish highly unbalanced games, where it's nigh-impossible to win, but when you do win, it feels amazing. Yet, balance in board games is much more complex and subtle than that. In this article, I want to look at the role that balance plays in board game design.Read the full article here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2025/12/02/losing-balance-the-role-of-balance-in-board-games-topic-discussion/Useful LinksCosmic Encounter Board Game Geek page: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/39463/cosmic-encounterVotes for Women review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2024/02/10/votes-for-women-digital-eyes/Godzilla: Tokyo Clash review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2025/08/09/godzilla-tokyo-clash-saturday-review/Pandemic review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2020/01/18/pandemic-saturday-review/Root review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2022/02/12/root-a-game-of-woodland-might-and-right-saturday-review/[1] Cole Wehrle interview on balancing powerful positions with strategic liabilities, Elevation Games, https://www.elevation.games/blog/interview-with-cole-wehrle-designer-of-root-john-company-and-pax-pamirOath review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2021/11/27/oath-chronicles-of-empire-and-exile-saturday-review/[2] Cole Wehrle interview on emergent asymmetry in Oath, Tabletop Gaming, https://www.tabletopgaming.co.uk/features/oath-an-interview-with-cole-wehrle/Doubt is our Product Board Game Geek page: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/401361/doubt-is-our-productMusicIntro Music: Bomber (Sting) by Riot (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)Music: Relaxing Lofi - Ena, produced by Sascha EndeLink: https://ende.app/en/song/12224-relaxing-lofi-enaMusic: Relaxing Lofi - Dyo, produced by Sascha EndeLink: https://ende.app/en/song/12225-relaxing-lofi-dyoSupportIf you want to support this podcast financially, please check out the links below:Ko-Fi: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ko-fi.com/TabletopGamesBlog⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/tabletopgamesblog⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tabletopgamesblog.com/support/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠(Photo by Austin Neill on Unsplash)

Sometimes our doubts feel like a monster hiding in the dark - awkward, intimidating, and bigger than it really is. We try to ignore it or hide it, afraid that admitting our questions might make us seem faithless. But the real danger isn't doubt itself; it's keeping it in the dark. In The Shadow of Doubt, we'll bring that “monster” into the light and discover that it's not so scary after all. We will see, biblically, that God isn't threatened by our questions - He meets us in them. Through this series, we'll give practical tools for wrestling with doubt and strengthening faith. -At Discover Church, we exist to see our city changed by Jesus, one life at a time by helping people discover LIFE in Christ, BELONGING in Community & PURPOSE in God's Calling on their life so that they can MAKE A DIFFERENCE.-You can join us live on Sunday mornings at 9:00 or 10:45am, either in person or online!

November 30th, 2025 | Attributes of Advent | Luke 1:5-25In this powerful Advent message, Pastor Matt Darby kicks off our series, “Attributes of Advent,” by taking us deep into the story behind the story—the God who longs to be known. Advent means arrival, and in the arrival of Jesus we don't just discover a Savior—we discover the very heart, character, and nature of God Himself.Walking through Luke 1:5–25 and the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth, Pastor Matt reveals two attributes that shine brilliantly in the Christmas narrative: God's sovereignty and God's mercy. Through a faithful but barren couple, an unexpected priestly assignment, and a long-awaited angelic message, we see a God who rules over every detail and moves with relentless compassion.Pastor Matt shows us:God's Sovereignty over Seasons — Our waiting is never wasted. God orchestrates every chapter of our lives with purpose, even when circumstances feel silent or stagnant.God's Mercy in Our Suffering — He sees our obedience, acknowledges our hurt, and meets us with His presence before His provision.God's Sovereignty Over Every Detail — Nothing about Zechariah's moment in the temple was random; God had placed him precisely where he needed to be.God's Mercy in Hearing Every Prayer — Even long-buried prayers are remembered by the God who treasures the cries of His people.God's Sovereignty Over the Impossible — Age, biology, and limitation cannot hinder the purposes of God.God's Mercy in the Miracle — God not only gave Zechariah and Elizabeth a child—He gave them a prophet who would prepare the way for the Messiah.God's Sovereignty and Mercy in Our Doubt — Zechariah's unbelief didn't derail God's plan. God lovingly disciplines, but He never abandons. Doubt doesn't disqualify us—God's mercy holds us even there.Through this message, Pastor Matt calls us to see our own lives through the lens of who God truly is: a sovereign King writing every line of our story, and a merciful Father filling those lines with compassion, patience, and purpose.If you find yourself waiting, suffering, longing for the impossible, or wrestling with doubt—this episode will remind you that God is working in every season, hearing every prayer, and moving in ways far greater than you can see.Do you know JESUS? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support through GIVING: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠

We were thrilled to welcome back acclaimed psychological thriller author and Richard & Judy Bestseller, Lizzy Barber, to the show. Lizzy is the author of several gripping novels, including Be Mine, and has a knack for cutting right through the polished facade of the author life to reveal the messy, chaotic, and often hilarious reality.As The Writing Community Chat Show, recently ranked among the top 10 writing podcasts in the UK, we've interviewed over 360 authors, from NYT best-sellers to indie superstars. Few, however, have been as candid as Lizzy about the sheer struggle of creative output when life throws everything at you.This conversation is essential listening for anyone who feels they are running out of time, energy, or hope while chasing their writing dreams.1. The Real Cost of ‘The Slow Draft.'Lizzy shared that her current novel, her fifth, has been the slowest to write, a process she describes as being “on ice.” This wasn't due to a lack of ideas but due to life: the birth of her daughter, dealing with family loss, and major personal hardships.The interview kicked off with a major truth bomb about managing expectations. Lizzy, who is working on this novel while juggling motherhood and dealing with family issues, admitted she has learned to accept a 500-word-a-day target.“I have worked out that for me that has meant 500 words a day. And I'm comfortable with that. And some days I will write a thousand and think, ‘what a great day.' And then the next day I might write two.”She argues against the perceived hierarchy in the writing community that values speed and high word counts. While some authors happily “splurge 4,000 words a day,” Lizzy opts for quality, slow progress, where her 500 words are likely to be “500 really good words that won't get cut up or replaced.”This is a powerful reminder: the goal is the finished product, not the speed of the first draft.2. Navigating Publishing: Big Five vs. Indie.Lizzy has the unique experience of having worked with both ‘Big Five' publishing houses and an indie publisher (Dura). She offered a rare, side-by-side comparison of the two models:3. The Uncomfortable Question: Imposter Syndrome.Perhaps the most resonant part of the conversation for aspiring and established writers alike was Lizzy's raw honesty about self-doubt.When discussing the draft she just completed after two years, she was upfront about her inner turmoil: “There is a part of me that thinks that this might not actually work as a book and that I might junk it.”This is imposter syndrome at its highest level - the doubt that creeps in after hundreds of hours of work. For Lizzy, this feeling is exacerbated by an “uneven publishing experience” and the anxiety of never finding a constant publisher “home.”“The worst thought is this kind of awareness of never being published again—that you're kind of you're done... That's the kind of constant fear that you kind of live on the highwire of as an author.”Her advice for surviving this? Focus solely on the writing, because that is the only thing you can control. Don't chase trends, and don't let external noise or sales charts dictate your self-worth.4. The Author Brand: Be Yourself. (Even If You're ADHD)Lizzy, who recently started to explore the possibility that she has undiagnosed ADHD, spoke about how she manages her time and how her personality informs her public persona.She admits she is good at jumping into pockets of time but “can't write around the chaos.” She needs to compartmentalize her writing time, a vital lesson for any busy creative.On building an author brand, her advice is simple: Be authentic.If you are an introvert who hates reels and being on camera, don't force it, it won't feel fun or look genuine. But if you, like Lizzy, are comfortable debating, answering difficult questions, and being visible:“I love being on camera. I trained as an actress... I like the sound of my own voice. I don't mind being silly. I don't mind being filmed. I say [to my publisher] use me for that. I'm very comfortable to kind of debate and be asked hard questions.”Find your niche, whether it's through newsletters, blogs, or public appearances, and commit to it. But whatever you do, avoid the pressure to join the “5 a.m. writer's club” just because it sounds productive. Prioritize your sleep and your process.Watch the Full Interview.Lizzy's interview is full of crucial, honest advice for writers at every stage of their career.

Send us a textA friend of the show and I continue talking about faith and doubt. This episode we talk about what to do when the bottom falls out-- to have faith or not to have faith?We both believe that whenever something truly horrible happens, we actually have a choice whether to lean into God/Source/Universe/Being/Oneness, or to lean out. At these times people either grow in faith immensely or become very bitter and angry. Along the way, we talk about Jesus' disciple Thomas, hope for all of us part-time believers, and how God fights us with kid gloves. We hope you love it!For Text and Rock Poetry, Podcasts, and Video Content or to contact Mark and Eric, visit us at www.textandrock.com.

As part of our Hidden Killers 2025 Year in Review series, we're revisiting the most disturbing, politically charged, and psychologically revealing chapter in the Gilgo Beach murder investigation — one that now includes the alleged discovery of Rex Heuermann's “manifesto.” In this explosive special, Tony Brueski unpacks two powerful narratives unfolding in parallel: the discovery of a chilling document allegedly authored by Heuermann detailing methods for serial murder, and the growing skepticism of his ex-wife Asa Ellerup, who's beginning to wonder if her former husband might be a pawn in a much darker story of corruption and cover-ups. Investigators reportedly found a meticulously written digital file on Heuermann's computer — a step-by-step “how-to” guide for abducting, killing, dismembering, and disposing of victims while avoiding forensic detection. The alleged instructions include forensic countermeasures that mirror the real-world evidence found across multiple crime scenes, including Manorville and Ocean Parkway, where the remains of victims like Jessica Taylor and Valerie Mack were discovered. Prosecutors say this “manifesto” could become the smoking gun in proving premeditation, linking Heuermann to multiple unsolved murders, and showing a disturbing consciousness of guilt. But with a county marred by scandal — from former police chief James Burke's porn-and-violence scandal to DA Thomas Spota's obstruction conviction — the defense is asking: how much of this can be trusted? Enter Asa Ellerup. After watching Netflix's Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer, she isn't pushing wild conspiracies — but she is questioning the system. Her legal team is raising alarms about Suffolk County's history of corruption, claiming it taints everything from the DNA evidence (derived through a contested “whole genome sequencing” technique) to the investigative integrity itself. Could a broken system be capable of building a monster to hide its own sins? Or is this simply the final unraveling of one of America's most terrifying suburban nightmares?

photographer, Lars had previously been successful.Da: Men nu?En: But now?Da: Færre opgaver, mere tvivl.En: Fewer assignments, more doubt.Da: Hans kamera hang slapt over skulderen.En: His camera hung limply over his shoulder.Da: Han stoppede ved en af de små caféer ved vandet.En: He stopped at one of the small cafés by the water.Da: Her plejede han at sidde i timevis, fange livets små øjeblikke med sin linse.En: Here he used to sit for hours, capturing life's small moments with his lens.Da: I dag stirrede han bare ud i det blå, fortabt i tanker.En: Today he just stared into the blue, lost in thought.Da: Pludselig brød en velkendt stemme hans drømmeri.En: Suddenly a familiar voice broke his reverie.Da: "Lars?En: "Lars?Da: Er det dig?"En: Is that you?"Da: Det var Freja.En: It was Freja.Da:

var beslutningen klar.En: But as he looked at her encouraging smile, the decision was clear.Da: "Ja," svarede han, "jeg vil det gerne."En: "Yes," he replied, "I'd like that."Da: De brugte hele

on.Da: Denne dag havde ændret alt.En: This day had changed everything.Da: Som han så ud over vandet, vidste han, at han kunne gøre det.En: As he looked out over the water, he knew he could do it.Da:

Text 'em here!My friend… can we be real for a moment?So many Christian entrepreneurs say they are building their business for God, yet deep down, they are still trying to sustain everything by their own strength. And if things have been feeling heavy, confusing, or discouraging… this episode is your heart check.We're diving into the truth that doing business with God is completely different from simply dedicating your business to Him. One leads to burnout. The other leads to clarity, peace, and God empowered consistency.Inside this episode, we will walk through:✨ Why your business feels heavier when you're building alone✨ How your reactions reveal who you are really depending on✨ The role Scripture plays in clarity, peace, and direction✨ Why burnout is often a sign you shut the door on God unintentionally✨ What God wants you to remember about obedience and timing✨ How money becomes an idol without you realizing it✨ The difference between chasing results and chasing GodIf you feel overwhelmed, inconsistent, stressed, or like nothing is moving the way you hoped… this episode is your reminder to return to truth.You were never meant to build this by yourself. God is not just the One who called you to it… He is the One who wants to carry it with you.Your business is holy.Your process is intentional.Your next step is already known by the One who holds the plan.Keep going, my friend. You are not failing. You are being led.

In this episode, we explore the tension between doubt and trust in our faith journey, especially in times of pain. We discuss how pain can lead us to question everything, including God's character, and the importance of letting God's infinite perspective guide us. We also address how doubt is not inherently sinful but rather a crucial part of our spiritual growth, depending on whether it leads us closer to or away from God.
