During the late 1960s and early 1970s, Stamford, Connecticut was terrorized by a killer who was strangling women and leaving their bodies by the side of the parkway. After four years and five confirmed victims, police arrested a local self-proclaimed preacher named Benjamin Miller, bringing the murders to an end and closing the case on what the press had dubbed the Bra Murders—or so they thought. From the moment Miller was arrested, there were some in the community who questioned whether the police had arrested the right man or if they'd simply chosen Miller as a scapegoat. Among other things, Miller had a long history of mental illness and, although he had initially confessed to the murders, he eventually recanted his confession and claimed that detectives had manipulated him into confessing. To this day, many Connecticut residents still wonder whether Benjamin Miller was really responsible for the Bra Murders, or if the real killer was allowed to walk free.

"I think it's a great point with writing. You know early on you realize like putting pen to paper or starting to type early on was a massive achievement. There were huge gains, and now you're still grinding to figure out like 'I don't know how to end this chapter. How do I not know how to end a chapter? I've been writing for 20 years. What's wrong with me?' And you realize like this is the gig. This is part of the fun, though. It's also part of the grind, which is why if you asked a runner their their most fun runs, they're usually their hardest runs, and it's the same thing with any other passion," says Coach Chris Bennett, author of This is About Running. This is Not About Running.It's Coach Chris Bennett! He is the Nike Running Global Head Coach and now he's the author of This is About Running. This is Not About Running.: Lessons for Between and Beyond the Start and Finish Line. It's published by Dey St.If you're looking for workouts and training plans and pace charts and Zone 2 up the wazoo, this is NOT the book for you. But if you're looking for a 220-page metaphor for being a better writer, a better person, and yes, maybe even a better runner, then you're going to love this book. I read it twice. The chapters are, by and large, lean and range from confidence to doubt to hope and play and regrets. Maybe this podcast is about writing and not about writing.A little more about Coach Bennett, who is something of a real-life Ted Lasso. Prior to working with Nike, he was a high school history teacher who helped coach one of the most successful running programs in the U.S. He attended the Univ. of North Carolina where he captained the XC and Track teams. After college, he spent five years on the Olympic Development Nike Farm Team out of Palo Alto, CA. He used to live in Oregon, but moved back to his native New Jersey.In this episode, we cover a lot of ground including: Why longform content is not dead How he went from working in finance to Nike How he cultivated his coaching philosophy Confidence vs. Arrogance Vulnerability Reckoning with and the fear of success The power of just focusing on yourself Self-sabotage And how running helped his writingI'd pair this episode Ep. 419 with Maggie Gigandet and her Atavist story about an ultrarunning couple and Ep. 525 with Mary Cain and her memoir of abuse at Nike called This is Not About Running.

What do you do when your sins feel too heavy to carry, when your closest friends turn against you, or when you look at the world and wonder why the wicked seem to prosper while the faithful suffer? In Psalms 49–101, the psalmists give voice to our rawest cries, leading us from the depths of personal brokenness straight into the healing sanctuary of God. Summary: In this moving exploration of Psalms 49–101, we walk through the second major collection of the Hebrew Psalter. Moving between searing prayers of confession and breathtaking anthems of praise, these chapters provide an emotional and spiritual compass for every trial of mortality. The Agony of Confession: We dissect Psalm 51, David's brokenhearted plea after Nathan confronted him regarding Bathsheba. We examine what it means to offer a "broken and a contrite heart," asking God not just for a pardon, but to "create in me a clean heart". The Sting of Betrayal: In Psalm 55, we explore David's lament over being betrayed not by an open enemy, but by an equal and trusted companion—a passage that powerfully foreshadows Judas's betrayal of Jesus Christ. Envy and the Sanctuary Perspective: We study Asaph's crisis of faith in Psalm 73, where his feet almost slipped while envying the ease of the worldly—until he entered the sanctuary of God and understood their end. Tears in a Bottle & God's Memory: We dive into Psalm 56, discovering the tender truth that God numbers our wanderings, stores our tears in His bottle, and never leaves us to face mortality alone. Divine Potential and Council: We analyze Psalm 82, exploring the divine council and the Savior's quotation of verse 6 ("Ye are gods") to understand the balance between human humility and divine heritage. Entering His Gates with Praise: We conclude with the exuberant joy of Psalm 100, examining the seven invitations to worship and the remarkable story of how the Spirit prompted B. H. Roberts to read this exact psalm in a moment of public trial. Call-to-Action: When your heart feels overwhelmed, David pleads: "Lead me to the rock that is higher than I" (Psalm 61:2).

Prosecutors in the Lindsay Clancy trial called Dr. Avram Mack to tell the jury she was responsible. He did. He also told them she described a laughing male voice, cried during his interview, and said she doesn't want to be alive. Jennifer Coffindaffer, a 25-year FBI veteran, joins Tony Brueski for the credibility fight that now defines this case.The guilt camp has moved off the evidence and onto the witnesses, and Tony takes the attacks in order. Resnick, 88, examined her at four months; Mack got his one interview in April 2026. The rules kept the Commonwealth's experts out until the insanity defense was filed, but the jury still heard who got there first.The chaplain, Sheila Cavanaugh, isn't a clinician, and her notes don't mention the voice. She testified Clancy described it in the first week of January 2023 hospitalization, off a breathing tube, and that she's visited about two hundred times. The malpractice lawsuit the voice was supposedly invented for was filed in January 2026.Courtroom face-reading meets Dr. Paul Zeizel's roughly sixty meetings and Mack's own account of her tears. The bipolar denial meets two examining doctors who diagnosed it and the clinical reality that sick people deny being sick.The family blame meets December 2022, when Clancy told them about harm thoughts and they got her admitted to McLean Hospital. McLean's psychiatrist saw no safety concerns and sent her home. The children died nineteen days later. Her providers had the harm thoughts in their records too.Clancy has entered a not guilty plea and argues she lacked criminal responsibility; prosecutors allege premeditation and a staged suicide attempt. She can't be a mastermind and an obvious danger at the same time. The jury gets to pick.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Turnbuckle Tavern is powered by G FUEL and Official Dick Lazer. Use code TAVERN for 20% off at GFUEL.com and DickLazers.com. Episode 207 of Wrestling Tonight opens with a surprising WWE departure that appears to have come together very differently than many would have expected. Ilja Dragunov is leaving WWE, but the circumstances surrounding his exit make this much more interesting than a straightforward contract expiration. WWE reportedly wanted him to remain with the company, and the two sides were still having serious discussions about getting him back on television only a couple of months ago. So how did we go from negotiating a return to Dragunov becoming a free agent? We break down what is known about the timeline, where things apparently changed and what comes next for one of the most distinctive wrestlers to come through WWE in recent years. Then there is The Rock and WrestleMania 43. WWE is heading to Riyadh for WrestleMania next April, but a major commitment on Dwayne Johnson's schedule could make one of the biggest possibilities surrounding the show considerably more complicated. There is an important distinction between The Rock appearing at WrestleMania and actually wrestling at WrestleMania, and the latest information raises questions about whether there will realistically be enough time for the latter. We get into what his schedule looks like, why the timing matters and where that leaves WWE as the road to WrestleMania 43 begins to take shape. AEW All In is just days away, and we now have an updated look at how Wembley Stadium is filling up before Sunday. With Kenny Omega vs. Will Ospreay for the AEW World Championship at the top of the card, the latest ticket numbers give us a much clearer idea of the size of the crowd AEW could be looking at when the company returns to Wembley. We'll go through where ticket distribution currently stands, how that compares with the stadium setup and what AEW still has available heading into the final days before All In. And Wembley is not the only major European story for AEW. Grand Slam is heading to Paris, giving the company another significant international date and its first event in France. There are some notable details about when and where the show will take place, what AEW intends to tape that night and where it fits into the company's European schedule coming out of All In. We also have movement on the John Cena Classic, an event WWE announced months ago without providing many concrete details. A potential date has now emerged, and its placement on the calendar carries an obvious connection to Cena's retirement that is difficult to overlook. There are still unanswered questions about the location, the lineup and exactly how WWE plans to execute Cena's unusual fan-voting concept, but we finally may have an idea of when the event is actually happening. We'll get into the reported date, why it stands out and what Cena has said about making sure the fans legitimately determine the winner. Elsewhere, Royce Keys returned to Raw and brought OTM with him, immediately inserting the group into an already crowded situation involving The Usos, Solo Sikoa and LA Knight. Rather than choosing one side, Keys, Bronco Nima and Lucien Price made their intentions clear by going after everyone. We'll cover how WWE brought Keys back after his absence, the significance of OTM appearing alongside him and how recent developments involving Nima may have helped set up the new alliance. The Women's World Championship picture also has its next major match. Stephanie Vaquer now has a date with Liv Morgan, but Becky Lynch remains directly involved in the story after what happened on Raw. With Vaquer and Lynch both pursuing Morgan since returning after SummerSlam, WWE now has multiple directions it can take as the championship match approaches. And on SmackDown, WWE advertised Blake Monroe vs. Giulia, but fans are still waiting for Monroe's official SmackDown in-ring debut. Instead of giving away the match, WWE used the confrontation to push their rivalry another step forward. Their history goes beyond WWE, and what happened before the bell ensures there is still unfinished business between them. Episode 207 of Wrestling Tonight covers Ilja Dragunov's unexpected WWE exit and the negotiations that preceded it, the scheduling issue hanging over The Rock and WrestleMania 43, the latest numbers heading into AEW All In at Wembley, AEW's first trip to Paris and the potential date for the John Cena Classic. Plus, Royce Keys resurfaces with OTM, Stephanie Vaquer moves closer to the Women's World Championship and Blake Monroe and Giulia's rivalry takes another turn on SmackDown.
God wants to speak to us—to guide us, direct us, encourage us, correct us, and lead us into His purpose for our lives. But hearing God's voice is only the beginning. We are called to respond with obedience and faith, even when we don't have all the details or understand how everything will come together. In this message, we are challenged to tune in to God's voice, trust His direction, and be willing to step out of the boat when He says, "Come."What happens when we obey God, but things don't go according to our plan? It's in those seasons of waiting, uncertainty, and difficulty that doubt can begin to creep in. Through the story of David and the promise God gave to Abraham and Sarah, we are reminded that God's timing is not always our timing, but His promises remain true. When the path gets dark, we must not allow our circumstances to make us doubt what God spoke to us in the light. Don't give up too soon. Keep trusting, keep obeying, and keep believing that God will bring His Word to pass.Support the show
Episode Summary: In this episode of the Work at Home Rockstar Podcast, Tim Melanson chats with Dr. Rob Yonover, founder and CEO of Sea Rescue Corporation, who has worked from home for over 30 years inventing survival gear for military and civilian use. What started as him "screwing around with a piece of plastic" on his patio became the SeeRescueStreamer, a signaling device he says is now military-approved worldwide and has even flown on SpaceX missions. Rob gets candid about what it actually takes to make working from home sustainable: brutal self-discipline, a simple math equation for building a passion project around a day job, and a thick skin built from years of rejection, including five no's on Shark Tank. He walks through the relentless, old-school media hustle that got his product into outlets like the Miami Herald, Outside Magazine, and Playboy, and explains why he still believes trade shows and face-to-face relationships beat digital marketing for building trust. The conversation also covers how a 15-year licensing deal with guaranteed royalties gave him the cash flow to keep inventing, what's exciting him now with a new pocket desalinator project and his published books, and his strong personal views on keeping kids off phones and social media. Who is Dr. Rob Yonover? Dr. Robert Yonover is a Ph.D. geochemist/volcanologist with a history of innovative scientific contributions and technologies that have been awarded U.S. Military/DARPA funding and U.S. Patents. The military-approved/adopted SeeRescueStreamer has saved lives on land and in water. A North Shore big wave surfer and Molokai Channel rough-water fisherman, Dr. Yonover uses the ocean as his laboratory. He's the founder and CEO of Sea Rescue Corporation and has worked from home in Hawaii for over 30 years, describing himself as a third-generation work-at-home entrepreneur following his grandmother, who ran an early medical practice out of her Chicago home, and his father, who built a mail-order business in the 1960s. The SeeRescueStreamer earned Navy approval and has since been adopted across military branches, including the Canadian Air Force. He's also the author of four books, Hardcore Inventing, Caregiver's Survival Guide, Hardcore Health, and Brainstorm Islands, and is currently working on a pocket desalinator that converts saltwater to freshwater.

Text us your questions!Randy and Kyle get brutally honest about the moment doubt stops feeling like “questions” and starts feeling like unbelief, including what it's like to say that out loud when you're a pastor with a church, a family, and a job that takes for granted that you believe in God.We dig into the philosophy and the lived spirituality behind the words we toss around too easily: belief, disbelief, doubt, and faith. Kyle unpacks the senses in which belief is (and isn't) an attitude toward a proposition, why certainty is basically impossible, and why faith can't survive if it's treated like a 100% confidence score. From “faith that” (propositions like the resurrection) to “faith in” (trust, loyalty, relationship), we explore how acceptance, hope, desire, and resilience can carry a Christian faith journey through seasons when your mind won't cooperate.We also talk Bible language like pistis as faithfulness, the hiddenness of God, and why the tradition is full of saints and spiritual giants who knew darkness from the inside. Our goal isn't to shame atheism or glorify doubt, but to make space for honesty and widen the possibilities for understanding what faith can mean.=====Want to support us?The best way is to subscribe to our Patreon.

Dr. Stephen Meyers Book- Darwin's Doubt
Deconstruction, doubt, and church hurt are reshaping how many people see Christianity, but what happens after you pull everything apart? In this episode, Dave and Josh unpack the deconstruction movement, share honestly about pain, abuse, and big questions about God, and wrestle with whether atheism, science, or “spiritual but not religious” offers anything solid to stand on. They explore what it could look like to move from endless critique to reconstructing a thoughtful, durable faith in Jesus.

Have you ever stopped and asked yourself, what is truth? Not the surface answer, not what we've been told, but the deep, quiet question underneath. What if everything we know about reality, about who we are, is just one layer of a much bigger story? Alan Gillanders, an author and quantum consciousness teacher who has spent over four decades studying spiritual traditions and quantum theory, joins host Sreemedha to talk about truth beyond dogma, why he sees all of us as co-creators of reality, and what happens when we sit in stillness long enough to actually listen. About the Guest: Alan Gillanders is a quantum consciousness teacher, artist, and author who bridges science, spirituality, and lived experience. Drawing on decades of studying ancient spiritual traditions and quantum theory, he is the author of the forthcoming book The Sacred Hum of I AM, exploring consciousness, manifestation, and the unseen aspects of reality. Key Takeaways: Alan describes the truths that matter most, why we're here, what we are, where we're going, as the ones institutions and upbringing rarely address directly. Everyone's understanding of truth looks a little different, and that diversity of perspective is something to allow rather than correct. Turning off the noise, social media, distractions, and sitting in quiet stillness is how Alan describes tuning into deeper guidance. What we focus on and believe, according to Alan, shapes the reality that follows, small and large. When someone else's frustration is directed at you, Alan suggests it usually has more to do with what they're carrying than anything about you.

What does it mean to believe something—and can we genuinely believe while also experiencing doubt? In this episode of the Center for Hebraic Thought and the Biblical Mind Podcast, Mike Tolliver talks with philosopher Dr. Joshua Mugg about his book From Human Reasoning to Belief and his alternative to the influential “dual process” theory of human reasoning.Mugg explains why he rejects the idea that the mind is simply divided between fast, intuitive thinking and slow, rational thinking. Instead, he proposes that human reasoning operates across multiple dimensions, allowing us to adjust how we think, gather evidence, recruit other beliefs, and repeatedly reconsider our conclusions.The conversation then explores how this account of human cognition helps illuminate one of the Bible's most intriguing statements: “I believe; help my unbelief” in the Gospel of Mark. Mugg's theory of fragmented belief suggests that people can hold different beliefs within distinct cognitive contexts, helping explain how faith and doubt can coexist.Mike and Josh also discuss anxiety, emotion and reasoning, conspiracy theories, religious belief, deconstruction, Michael Polanyi, Esther Meek, the relationship between faith and certainty, and whether faith will remain in the eschaton. This wide-ranging conversation offers a fresh perspective on belief, doubt, faith, and what it means to know.Buy Dr. Mugg's book here: https://www.routledge.com/From-Human-Reasoning-to-Belief-An-Empirical-Account/Mugg/p/book/9781032736952Contact us at The Biblical Mind: Click HereWe are listener supported.

We spend years building a career, following a path that looks impressive, the one everyone tells you matters. Then one day you stop and ask yourself: is this actually my life, or the life that was assigned to me? Joe Wearmouth spent almost 20 years as a federal attorney, including work for the Department of Homeland Security and the Justice Department, before walking away to research and write about the American Revolution. He joins host Sreemedha to talk about the quiet signals he ignored for years, what it actually took to leave, and why chasing external validation rarely leads anywhere good. About the Guest: Joe Wearmouth practiced law for nearly two decades, including as a federal prosecutor for the U.S. Department of Justice and an attorney for the Department of Homeland Security. He now writes historical fiction set during the American Revolution, including his novel Rising Sons, and works as a freelance attorney in El Paso, Texas. Key Takeaways: You can build an impressive career on external validation and still feel miserable doing it, every single day. The feeling that something isn't right rarely goes away on its own, most people know deep down and simply fight against it. Change doesn't require jumping off a ledge, start by figuring out what you want to spend your day doing, then figure out how to make that profitable. Doubt doesn't mean you made the wrong call, it's often a sign you're doing something that actually matters to you. A stable job you leave will likely still be there in some form if things don't work out, so the risk is often smaller than it feels.

Henry's Motto:"De omnibus dubitandum" Doubt everything.Episode DescriptionLong before ultralight backpacking became mainstream, Henry Shires was simply trying to solve a problem.In 1999, while preparing to hike the Pacific Crest Trail, Henry designed a lightweight shelter for himself. That idea would eventually become Tarptent, one of the original cottage gear companies and a brand that has helped influence backpacking shelter design for more than 20 years.In this episode of the Trailblazing Texas Podcast, I sit down with Tarptent founder Henry Shires to go all the way back to where it started.We talk about Henry's introduction to hiking and backpacking, the shelter he built for his PCT journey, and the moment he realized other backpackers wanted what he had created. Henry shares what those early years of Tarptent looked like, the challenges of growing a small cottage company, and why Tarptent has intentionally remained relatively small even as the outdoor industry around it has changed.We also get deep into the world of shelter design, where ideas come from, balancing weight and durability, testing prototypes in real-world conditions, learning from designs that didn't quite work, and figuring out when a shelter is finally ready to leave the drawing board and head into the backcountry.Having spent more than two decades in the industry, Henry also gives us his perspective on how backpacking has changed. We talk about the rise of ultralight gear, social media's impact on the outdoor community, the growth of the cottage gear industry, and what he hopes never changes about backpacking.But perhaps my favorite part of the conversation is looking beyond the gear.For more than 20 years, Tarptent shelters have been carried on first backpacking trips, weekend adventures, long trails and thru-hikes around the world. Behind every one of those shelters is a story, and a memory made underneath it.So what does it mean to Henry knowing something he first designed for himself has become part of so many other people's adventures?And after more than 20 years of designing, building and questioning how things can be done better...what does he hope the legacy of Tarptent will ultimately be?This one is about innovation, taking chances, staying small, and the incredible things that can happen when a backpacker decides there has to be a better way.

Ever wonder how political operatives coordinate high-stakes power plays without ever issuing a explicit command? Discover how sowing doubt has replaced winning arguments as the primary strategy in modern politics—and why recognizing this tactic is your best defense against narrative manipulation.By tracing conservative media frustration from the 1960s up to modern frameworks like Project 2025, this discussion exposes how political insiders instinctively execute their roles through unspoken cues and calculated legal maneuvers. Former RNC Chairman Michael Steele breaks down the hidden mechanics behind today's headlines to show how subtle strategies shape public perception.Catch Michael Steele on The Weeknight Mondays - Fridays at 7pm EST on MSNBC: https://www.msnbc.com/weeknightFollow Michael on X: https://x.com/MichaelSteeleFollow Michael on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/michaelsteele.bsky.socialFollow Michael on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chairman_steele/Follow Michael on Threads: https://www.threads.net/@chairman_steeleListen to The Michael Steele Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-michael-steele-podcast/id1412905534Watch The Michael Steele Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJNKzTkCZE9uNqPiKYw5eU5YkS_mMsr6oIf you enjoyed this, be sure to share it with a friend!

Do you put more value on your doubting mind than you do on the reality of what is always present?" In this episode, Gangaji speaks about "the wheel of doubt"—addressing the way the mind generates doubt from the "fear of being open, or being still, and not knowing." While doubt has a very legitimate purpose in our lives, when we are caught up in a pointed search for certainty it can become a life-long source of suffering. The invitation she offers is to recognize the activity of the mind and to recognize what is always here regardless of what thoughts are passing through our minds. Meet with Gangaji live for an online public meeting on Saturday, September 5 at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time—Sunday, September 6 at 10:00 a.m. AEST in Australia.

When I first started learning about PDA six years ago, so much of what I encountered was focused on behavior. What I was not seeing discussed was something I kept observing in my own family, and have since seen in thousands of families I have worked with: the way cumulative nervous system activation can disable a child or teen from accessing the things they need to stay alive.In this episode, an excerpt from the Understanding PDA Masterclass, I walk through what basic needs struggles actually look like across five domains: toileting, sleep, hygiene, eating, and safety. I share why I conceptualize PDA as a nervous system disability, how the survival drive for autonomy can override other survival instincts, and why paradoxically the most effective intervention for a basic needs struggle is often to stop focusing on it directly.Key TakeawaysWhy PDA May Be a Nervous System Disability, Not a Behavioral Disorder | 00:00:00 I define PDA as a survival drive for autonomy and equality that consistently overrides other survival instincts, including the instinct to eat, sleep, stay safe, maintain hygiene, and use the bathroom. This is what makes it distinct from other neurotypes and what led me to begin theorizing it as a nervous system disability. This also makes it distinct from "a behavioral problem". The challenges our children face are physiological, and this is part of what I am researching with the University of Michigan.The Fire, the Traffic, and the River: When Autonomy Overrides Safety in the Moment | 00:03:30 On a night of camping when my son was four and a half, he kept moving toward the campfire the more we told him to stay back, to the point where I had to physically restrain him from running into it. I have heard similar accounts from families of children running toward oncoming traffic or accelerating into a lake when told to move away. These are extreme examples that I share to show how the survival drive for autonomy can override the instinct to stay safe in real time. They are not defiance. They are a nervous system response that has overridden the instinct that should have protected the child.Five Basic Needs and What Struggles Can Look Like | 00:06:32 Toileting struggles can include regression to diapers, UTIs from withholding, accidents, and refusing to use the toilet. Sleep struggles can include a non-twenty-four-hour cycle, intensifying bedtime resistance, and needing to co-sleep at eleven or twelve years old with no prior history of it. Hygiene can include refusing tooth brushing, bathing, nail cutting, or hair cuts. Eating can present as extreme restriction, similar to ARFID but without the body image component, or as compulsive eating. Safety struggles can range from running toward traffic or fire to self-harm, suicidal ideation, or harming others. Two PDA children can have the same root cause and look dramatically different across all five domains.The Paradox: Focusing on the Basic Need Often Makes It Worse | 00:11:09 When my son stopped eating, every instinct told me to find strategies to make him eat. I went to feeding therapy. I tried every approach in the moment. But for a PDA child, focusing attention and gentle pressure on eating registers as a loss of autonomy and can intensify the avoidance. What I have seen across thousands of families is that bringing down cumulative nervous system activation across all domains, not in the moment of the basic need struggle, is what allows the control to release and the need to become accessible again. That is the paradigm shift.Doubt, Fluctuation, and Why Basic Needs Must Be Part of the PDA Profile | 00:09:34 Because basic needs struggles fluctuate, parents are often doubted or doubt themselves. A child may brush their teeth at the beginning of the week and refuse by Friday. They may eat one food for months and then drop it. They may have had no toileting issues and then regress at age eight. This fluctuation is a feature of the cumulative model, not evidence that the disability is inconsistent. Basic needs have largely been left out of the behavioral literature on PDA. I believe they belong at the center of the profile, because if a child cannot access safety, sleep, eating, hygiene, or toileting, their health and survival are at risk.Relevant ResourcesUnderstanding PDA — The free masterclass from which this episode is excerpted, covering the full nervous system disability framework and basic needs indicators described here.Burnout — Free class with context for the burnout threshold at which basic needs struggles tend to intensify and become most disabling.Tracking Progress — Free class on the three dimensions I track with families, including basic needs access as a primary indicator of whether cumulative nervous system activation is coming down.Paradigm Shift Program — My signature program where the basic needs framework, cost-benefit decision making, and the full accommodation toolkit are taught across twelve weeks of live coaching.Mentioned in this episode:Free Live WorkshopI'm offering a free live workshop this month: "Supporting your PDA child or teen through burnout without breaking yourself in the process."Free Live Workshop Registration

Visit https://sagehaus.com/molly and use code MOLLY with your first hiring deposit. In this episode of The Modern High Performer, I'm joined by Marc Pitman, founder of the Concord Leadership Group and author of The Surprising Gift of Doubt, for a conversation about something even highly successful leaders experience: uncertainty. We talk about what happens when doubt starts creeping into your leadership, career, finances, or identity and why that uncertainty doesn't necessarily mean you're on the wrong path. Sometimes, it's an invitation to lead differently. In this conversation, we explore: Why self-doubt often surfaces when leaders enter a new season or level of growth How to separate failure from your identity and give yourself permission to get things wrong The difference between healthy vulnerability and oversharing as a leader Why having safe people and strong support systems matters when you're carrying significant responsibility How scarcity, fear, and your inner critic can influence leadership decisions Why dropping the "mask and armor" can create more authentic collaboration and connection Practical tools for understanding your leadership style and working through moments of doubt Marc also shares some of the personal failures, pivots, and unexpected seasons that shaped the way he leads today. If you're navigating a season where the old answers aren't working anymore, this conversation offers a different way to look at uncertainty, not as something you need to eliminate, but as information you can learn to lead through.

Algunos cristianos piensan, erróneamente, que la fe y la duda son excluyentes. La realidad es que, mientras tengamos fe, también tendremos dudas. La duda puede ser una oportunidad para ejercitar nuestra fe; nos impulsa a buscar la verdad y a no conformarnos con el “dios que nos vendieron o nos heredaron”, ni con la imagen del “dios que nos imaginamos”. A veces, nos vendría bien un poco de modesta incertidumbre, aunque eso sea mal visto en nuestro ámbito religioso.
(Tisarana Buddhist Monastery) Ajahn Viradhammo reflects on the use of the "Who is thinking" Koan/question. Used during meditation. When one's whole psychological makeup is all about thinking/problem solving only, then doubt will come up. As thinking begets doubt. The depth of spiritual life is about "silence". And one cannot arrive there through thinking. Then one tries to get rid of thinking, and we fall into the trap, of aversion. One has to be able to see thought as an object, in awareness.

Episode Summary James warns that a double-minded man is unstable in all his ways. Jim Van Gelderen explains how the soul can be driven by changing circumstances, moving between faith and doubt and often producing anger, discouragement, or sinful coping. This message diagnoses the danger of a divided soul and points toward the engrafted Word as the answer developed in the next episode. Topics Discussed The meaning of saving the soul within Christian sanctification The spirit, soul, and flesh in the Christian life How circumstances and sensory evidence can produce wavering faith The connection between unbelief, anger, discouragement, and sinful coping Lessons from Elijah after Mount Carmel and Israel at Jericho Prayer opportunities for WAR Special Forces and the Thee Generation Youth Summit Key Takeaways Spiritual instability grows when circumstances decide whether God can be trusted. The flesh cannot be reformed; it must be crucified as the believer depends upon Christ. Unchecked doubt often expresses itself through anger, discouragement, or destructive responses. The Word of God remains true even when sensory evidence appears to say otherwise. Recognizing a double-souled condition prepares the heart to receive the engrafted Word with meekness.

THIS IS A PREVIEW PODCAST. NOT THE FULL REVIEW. Please check out the full podcast review on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture Our 2008 retrospective is coming to an end this month, and our second-to-last podcast review is for David Fincher's epic romantic fantasy drama, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," starring Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, Taraji P. Henson, Julia Ormond, Jason Flemyng, Elias Koteas, Mahershala Ali, Jared Harris & Tilda Swinton. A more sentimental and whimsical film for Fincher than what we're usually used to seeing from him (mostly in part due to Eric Roth's adaptation of the 1922 short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald) it's another wonderful collaboration between Pitt and Fincher (Who we will see reunite later this year in the "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood" standalone sequel, "The Adventures of Cliff Booth") on love, destiny, death and finding an appreciation for life in the brief time we have here. Featuring state-of-the-art visual effects for its time and other dazzling technical elements, the film led the 81st Academy Awards with 13 nominations, winning three for its crafts.

Moreland is one of the most influential Christian philosophers alive and he's spent the last twelve years enduring what most of us never will: a rare genetic condition, more than two dozen cancer surgeries, and two seasons of debilitating anxiety and depression.

去年12月,澳大利亚实施全球首个针对16岁以下未成年人的社交媒体禁令,此后不久,法国、英国、西班牙等更多国家便相继跟进。但反对者的声音也随之而来。他们认为禁令本身难以执行、年龄划分过于一刀切,更关键的是,科学尚未证明社交媒体与青少年心理问题之间存在明确的因果关系。然而,这些反对的理由真的成立吗? 今年3月,社交媒体迎来「大烟草时刻」。被视为风向标的 K.G.M. v. Meta et al. 一案迎来判决,Instagram 和 YouTube 被认定在产品设计上存在过失,无限滚动、自动播放视频等功能被认定对青少年原告造成了伤害。这一判决撬动了自 1996 年的《美国通信规范法》第 230 条款出台以来平台免责的边界,平台再也无法声称自己只是一个「中立的工具」。 这一期节目,我们和老朋友方可成老师一起,从围绕禁令的一系列反对意见出发,聊聊社交媒体平台如何通过不断游说和制造怀疑来规避监管责任,K.G.M. 案的律师团们又是通过怎样的策略转变,压实了平台的主体责任。 本期人物 方可成,香港中文大学新闻与传播学院副教授 徐涛,声动活泼联合创始人 主要话题 [00:48] 监管转折点:澳、英、法等多国出台青少年社媒使用禁令 [05:17] 无定论、有益处、一刀切、执行难:反对禁令的理由真的成立吗?

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260813dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Romans 8:31-33 Without a Doubt! There are very few things you can say without a doubt. When making plans, you can’t say they will happen without a doubt. When someone asks you a difficult question, can you always answer confidently, without a doubt? Thankfully, we can answer life’s most crucial question without a doubt, and not because we’re so smart, but because God is so great! Life’s most crucial question is, “Am I right with God?” or “Will God let me into heaven?” Some people struggle to answer those questions without a doubt. Those doubts come from the reality of sin. God is holy and perfect; we are not. Just one sin is enough to bar us from heaven, and we've committed more than one. More than we can count. It would be presumptuous to believe we can simply walk through heaven’s gates, except that God assures us of this without doubt or hesitation. God is for us! He’s on our side. He says that our sins are forgiven. This removes any and every shred of doubt. Who can bring any charges against us that will stick? Our own doubts and guilty conscience might try to tell us we aren’t forgiven or worthy, but they don’t call the shots! God does. He has justified us. That means he declares, with absolute authority, that we are not guilty because he’s forgiven all our sins. And if any doubt should remain, here’s proof: God did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all. This is how the guilty are declared innocent and the accused become acquitted, without a doubt. God spared no expense to make things right between you and him. God left heaven and carried a cross to make heaven your home. It’s yours through Christ, without a doubt. Prayer: Lord, spare me from doubt and temptations to justify myself and let my confidence rest on Christ alone who has already justified me. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

“Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again—my Savior and my God!” (Psalm 42:11 NLT) It’s not unusual for sincere believers to have days of doubt, discouragement, and despair. Even the heroes of the faith struggled in these areas. Moses was handpicked by God to lead the Israelites out of slavery and to deliver the Ten Commandments. Yet, on at least one occasion, he was so overwhelmed by the consistent complaining of the Israelites that he said to the Lord, “I can’t carry all these people by myself! The load is far too heavy! If this is how you intend to treat me, just go ahead and kill me. Do me a favor and spare me this misery!” (Numbers 11:14–15 NLT). Elijah, after his contest with the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel, heard that Queen Jezebel had put a contract out on his life. He was so overwhelmed by his circumstances, so discouraged, so uncertain, and so filled with doubt that he said to God, “I have had enough, Lord. . . . Take my life, for I am no better than my ancestors who have already died” (1 Kings 19:4 NLT). The prophet Jeremiah struggled as well. He was ridiculed and harassed for communicating the Word of God. Because he was tired of the pressure he was facing, it made him want to stop communicating God’s Word altogether. He said, “When I speak, the words burst out. ‘Violence and destruction!’ I shout. So these messages from the Lord have made me a household joke” (Jeremiah 20:8 NLT). Even the apostle Paul had moments when he was discouraged. He wrote to the church at Corinth, “We were crushed and overwhelmed beyond our ability to endure, and we thought we would never live through it” (2 Corinthians 1:8 NLT). So, if we ever feel overwhelmed, the first thing we need to understand is that we’re in good company. Wrestling with doubt or uncertainty or being perplexed as to why God didn’t work in a certain way doesn’t set us apart from other believers. The second thing we need to understand is that fear and faith are separated by a very thin line, one that often gets blurred during our walk with Christ. One moment we say, “Everything will be fine—no problem.” Then the next moment we can look at the same circumstances and find ourselves in absolute despair. So, what’s the answer? We must recognize that we’re human, just like the great people of Scripture. We must cast our burdens on God and pray for the strength to place our problems in their proper perspective. The psalmist had that perspective when he wrote, “Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again—my Savior and my God!” (Psalm 42:11 NLT). We can’t see the big picture of God’s work in this world. And our limited perspective is bound to cause some heightened emotions. That’s why we must place our trust in the One who can see everything and is working it all for good. Reflection question: How can you keep a proper perspective when you struggle with doubt, discouragement, or despair?

In this Ultimate Issues episode of Timeless Wisdom, Dennis explores the idea that doubt is not something to be feared or ashamed of, but rather something to be acknowledged and worked through. By examining the experiences of Mother Teresa and other individuals who have grappled with faith and doubt, the speaker offers a nuanced perspective on the nature of faith and the importance of questioning.

https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/ins.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/TSM739_MDM_Jul13_26.mp3 Success without the struggle isn’t a fantasy — it’s the other side of a law most of us were never taught to use. For years I believed, like most people do, that the harder something felt, the more it counted. Then I sat down with a piece of paper, the Law of Polarity, and everything about how I chase goals changed. Success Without the Struggle Begins With the Law of Polarity Draw a horizontal line. Put a vertical line through the middle. Negative on the left — lack, difficulty, not having. Positive on the right — the money, the people, the opportunity, already here. Those two sides are not separate. They’re connected in the middle, the same way my phone has a left side and a right side that both belong to the same object. When you’re chasing a goal, especially one tied to money, your perception convinces you that only the negative side is real. That’s what success without the struggle actually requires: recognizing both sides already exist right now, not someday, not once you’ve earned it. Success Without the Struggle Means Questioning Your Perception Here’s the part that took me years to fully get: the problem you’re carrying doesn’t exist in reality. It exists in your perception. You’ve been so locked onto what you don’t have that your mind has stopped registering what’s already available to you. Doubt, fear, and worry aren’t proof that something is wrong — they’re just what happens when you emotionally align with the wrong side of the line. You were handed a paradigm as a kid, probably one that said good things come from struggle. Success without the struggle means catching yourself the moment that old paradigm speaks up, and choosing the truth instead of the story. Why Success Without the Struggle Still Takes Action None of this is magical thinking. Choosing truth over perception doesn’t mean you sit still and wait. It means you stop assuming the goal requires suffering and start doing the plain, practical thing in front of you — the calls, the outreach, the conversation you’ve been avoiding. I was raised, like a lot of people, to believe I shouldn’t bother anyone or ask for anything. But you’re not asking anymore. You have something of real value to offer, and the people who need it are already close to you. Success without the struggle doesn’t mean success without effort — it means effort without suffering, faith applied daily through what you actually do. What you want — the sale, the client, the house, the shift in your bank account — isn’t something you have to force into existence. It’s already here, waiting on the other side of the same line you’re standing on. Success without the struggle simply means getting in harmony with what’s true instead of what your perception has convinced you is missing.

Episode 333 – The Psychology of Sales YOU'VE LEARNED THE STRATEGIES… SO WHY DOES YOUR REVENUE STILL CONTINUE TO PLATEAU?Here’s what I know about most business owners: They’re working hard, doing the right things, and still hitting the same income ceiling year after year. That ceiling has a name — it’s your Financial Set Point.
