We often find ourselves tethered to the burdens of the past or anxieties about the future, losing sight of the peace and clarity that exists in the now. I emphasize the importance of redirecting our awareness away from the chaos of future worries and past regrets, encouraging listeners to experience the simplicity and richness of living fully in the moment they are currently inhabiting.Life is happening right now, yet many struggle to grasp this idea. I highlight how our minds tend to pull us into a cycle of overthinking, where we plan excessively, rehearse conversations, and envision worst-case scenarios in an attempt to feel prepared. This, however, often leads to a forfeiture of the present, where true joy and serenity reside. I share my personal experiences and insights, acknowledging that many of us mistakenly believe that worrying can safeguard us from future discomfort, yet the reality is that this incessant mental dialogue detracts from the vibrant moments unfolding around us.To help listeners immerse themselves in the present, I provide practical, accessible techniques that don't require formal meditation or additional tasks on an already overloaded to-do list. I illustrate how we can embrace the now in our daily routines – whether during mundane activities like washing dishes, walking, or even brushing our teeth. By simply being aware of our physical sensations and surroundings, we can cultivate moments of presence that reinforce our ability to find peace amidst daily life.#PresentMoment #LiveInTheNow #MindfulnessPractice #AnxietyRelief #StressManagement #InnerPeace #EmotionalHealth #StayPresent #WorryLess #CalmYourMind #TheNow #HappinessIsNow #AnxietyCoachesPodcast #GinaRyan #MentalWellness #BeHereNow #EverydayMindfulness #SensoryAwareness #NervousSystem #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, Hunter invites us into the heart of the Gospel of John, exploring chapters 9 through 11. Together, we witness Jesus as the light of the world—healing the blind, calling the dead to life, and challenging us to consider what stones need rolling away in our own lives. As Hunter guides us through these moving passages, we're reminded that resurrection is not just a story from the past, but an invitation to live anew, even through the darkest nights of the soul. Alongside the Scripture reading, Hunter offers reflections on the significance of letting go of the barriers that separate us from true life and encourages us to trust in God's sufficient grace—no matter how long the night may seem. With moments of prayer and encouragement, this episode becomes a space to find renewed hope, knowing that God's love holds us through every season. Settle in as we journey together through the pages of the Bible, seeking transformation, light, and the joy that comes with knowing that, truly, we are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Roll the stone aside. There was a stone in front of Lazarus' tomb—a barrier between the grave and life, between the living and the dead. And that stone is an important symbol in this story. For we all have a stone that God is wanting to move away in our lives. What's yours? What's standing between you and life? Lazarus came to life when Jesus spoke his name inside that grave. But the stone still had to be moved away. There was still a barrier, something that stood between him and the life that waited—and the love of those who stood on the other side. Trapped alive in a tomb is no life at all. And yet this is what many Christians experience in their lives. That stone must be rolled away at Jesus' command. And indeed it was. A man once dead is alive. Now there is nothing in the way. Now he is truly alive. And there is no life like resurrection life. For Lazarus, life after the grave was surely sweet indeed. What stone needs to be removed in your life? What is still standing in the way, preventing you from experiencing all that God has for you? Don't ignore, don't shut your ears to his command to come forth. He's done everything that's necessary for you to walk forward in life. The stone has been rolled away. He has raised you from the grave. Now is your time to begin to learn to walk in resurrection life. So come forth. Come forth today. Take that step. Move forward in faith, trusting that God is indeed the God of resurrection, the one who raises us from the dead. He has removed all that needs to be moved, and he stands on the other side ready to embrace you, to walk with you into your new life. Hallelujah. That's a prayer I have for my own soul. That's a prayer I have for my family, for my loved ones. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL

The central theme of this podcast episode revolves around the profound intersection of science and spirituality, particularly as it pertains to the concept of light. We engage in an enlightening dialogue with Dick Foth, who shares his insights on the significance of light both as a scientific phenomenon and as a metaphorical representation of hope and divine presence. Throughout our discussion, we explore the multifaceted nature of light, its essential role in the universe, and its profound implications during the Christmas season, a time often associated with illumination and reflection. As we traverse this topic, we aim to draw connections between the scientific understanding of light and its spiritual connotations, emphasizing its importance in our lives and its capacity to bring clarity in times of darkness. Ultimately, we hope this conversation serves as an encouragement to our listeners, especially during this reflective season, to contemplate the illuminating power of light in both the physical and spiritual realms.Takeaways: The podcast emphasizes the significance of light as a metaphor for life, hope, and clarity. A conversation with Dick Foth illustrates how light serves as God's signature in the universe. The discussion includes how light is essential for life, both physically and spiritually, especially during the Christmas season. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their relationships and connections as sources of light in times of darkness.

In this profound Christmas message we conclude "The One and Only" series by examining the Magi's gift of myrrh to baby Jesus, symbolizing His ultimate sacrifice and healing role as King. From Matthew 2:1-12, these Persian "king-makers"—influenced by Daniel's prophecies—acknowledged Jesus as the true King of the Jews, bringing myrrh used for embalming, anointing, and healing, foreshadowing His suffering and death (Isaiah 53:5). Myrrh appears throughout Jesus' life: at birth, mixed with wine at crucifixion (Mark 15:23), and in His burial (John 19:39-40), highlighting the cost of our salvation—His life for ours.This message calls us to respond by bringing our "myrrh": living sacrificially through persecution, generosity, and service, as Romans 5:1-5 shows suffering produces perseverance, character, and hope. It also invites us to be healers, offering forgiveness and peace smeared with the myrrh of Christ's grace. If Jesus is King, embrace sacrifice not as waste but as productive, turning temporary pain into eternal glory.Join this Christmas reflection to see the Magi's gifts anew and let myrrh challenge you to honor Jesus' sacrifice with your own bold, healing faith.CONNECT WITH US:→ Request Prayer: https://bit.ly/3zMyf5E→ Request Care: https://bit.ly/3fBTX5G→ Share a Testimony: https://bit.ly/3Jo7Ped→ Find Events and More: https://bit.ly/3TcrkcR→ Leave us a Review on Google: https://bit.ly/47925jP→ Plan a Visit in Person: https://bit.ly/3sfQdg7FOLLOW US:→ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/illuminatec...→ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@illuminate_ch...→ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/illuminatech...WE HELP PEOPLE FIND ABUNDANT LIFE IN JESUS!

The lively voice calling Minjun belonged to Hyungjin.Ko: 형진은 민준의 사촌 여동생으로, 시골 생활에 깊이 뿌리내린 인물이다.En: Hyungjin was Minjun's cousin, deeply rooted in rural life.Ko: "도와줘. 팥죽 준비해야 해." 그녀는 웃으며 말했다.En: "Help me. We need to prepare patjuk." She smiled as she spoke.Ko: "알겠어, 형진아. 어떻게 하면 돼?" 민준은 고개를 끄덕였다.En: "Alright, Hyungjina. What should I do?" Minjun nodded.Ko: 그는 형진의 활기에 약간 놀랐으나, 그녀의 초대에 기쁘게 응했다.En: He was slightly surprised by Hyungjin's energy but gladly accepted her invitation.Ko: 두 사람은 따뜻한 집안으로 들어갔다.En: The two entered the warm house.Ko: 가족들이 저마다 준비에 분주했다.En: Each family member was busy with preparations.Ko: 형진의 가족들은 전통적으로 팥죽을 끓이고, 동지날 무사함을 기원하는 시간을 가졌다.En: Hyungjin's family traditionally boiled patjuk and spent time praying for safety during the winter solstice.Ko: 그날의 하이라이트는 한밤중까지 이어지는 이야기 시간이었다.En: The highlight of the day was the storytelling session that continued until midnight.Ko: 민준은 팥죽을 저으면서 묘한 기분에 사로잡혔다.En: As Minjun stirred the patjuk, he was filled with a strange feeling.Ko: 이곳에서 그는 도시에서의 생활과는 전혀 다른 차분함과 평화를 느꼈다.En: Here, he felt a calmness and peace that was entirely different from city life.Ko: 하지만 동시에 자신이 얼마나 가족의 전통과 떨어져 지냈는지를 깨닫게 되었다.En: Yet, at the same time, he realized how much he had been distanced from his family's traditions.Ko: "오빠, 생각하는 거 있어?" 형진이 물었다.En: "Oppa, is something on your mind?" Hyungjin asked.Ko: "그냥, 좀 부끄럽기도 하고 그렇네. 도시 생활에 치여서 이곳 전통에 신경 쓸 여유가 없었던 것 같아." 민준은 솔직하게 고백했다.En: "Just, I feel a bit ashamed. It seems I've had no time or space to care about these traditions because of the city's demands." Minjun confessed honestly.Ko: "걱정 마. 우리 이야기를 나눌 때 말해 봐, 다들 이해할 거야." 형진은 위로했다.En: "Don't worry. Share when we have our storytelling; everyone will understand." Hyungjin comforted him.Ko: 밤이 깊어가며 가족들은 모닥불 주위로 모였다.En: As the night deepened, the family gathered around a bonfire.Ko: 작은 화로가 방을 따뜻하게 해주었다.En: A small brazier warmed the room.Ko: 모두가 함께 앉아 이야기를 나누었다.En: They all sat together, sharing stories.Ko: 형진의 할머니가 먼저 옛날이야기를 시작했다.En: Hyungjin's grandmother started with an old tale.Ko: 가족들은 할머니의 이야기를 경청했다.En: The family listened intently to her story.Ko: 이윽고, 민준의 차례가 되었다.En: Eventually, it was Minjun's turn.Ko: 그는 깊은 숨을 들이쉬고, 마음속 이야기를 빼놓지 않고 털어놓았다.En: He took a deep breath and shared his heartfelt story.Ko: "제가 도시에서 어떻게 지내왔는지, 그리고 이곳에 와서 느낀 소중함에 대해 말하고 싶어요."En: "I want to talk about how I've been living in the city and the invaluable things I've realized since coming here."Ko: 그는 자신이 얼마나 두 가지 삶 사이에서 방황했는지 솔직하게 말했다.En: He spoke honestly about how he had been torn between two worlds.Ko: 민준의 이야기를 듣던 가족들은 이해와 격려의 눈빛을 보냈다.En: The family listened to Minjun's story with understanding and encouragement in their eyes.Ko: 그들은 민준을 다시 가족의 일원으로 따뜻하게 맞이해 주었다.En: They warmly welcomed him back as a member of the family.Ko: 그 순간, 민준은 새로운 연결과 소속을 느낄 수 있었다.En: At that moment, Minjun felt a new sense of connection and belonging.Ko: 모든 이야기가 끝난 후, 민준은 마음이 가벼워졌다.En: After all the stories were told, Minjun felt lighter.Ko: 그는 가족의 품에서 따뜻함과 애정을 느낄 수 있었다.En: He could feel the warmth and affection of his family.Ko: 그날 밤, 민준은 자신이 전통과 가족을 진심으로 사랑하고 있다는 것을 깨달았다.En: That night, Minjun realized that he sincerely loved his traditions and family.Ko: 이렇게, 민준은 새로운 결심과 함께 하루를 마무리했다.En: With this, Minjun ended the day with a new resolution.Ko: 가족과 함께하는 시간은 그에겐 소중한 의미가 되었다.En: The time spent with his family held precious meaning to him.Ko: 그는 이곳에서 시작된 이야기를 이어 가기로 마음먹었다. 그곳, 겨울이 춥지만 따뜻한 시골 평야에서.En: He decided to continue the story that began here, in the cold yet warm countryside plains.

In this episode, I sit with Blake Zealear and Jack to explore the transformative experience of men's work and embodied brotherhood. We open up about how connection, vulnerability, and shared experience among men create the foundation for true leadership and self-acceptance. Through honest conversation and lived stories, we reflect on what becomes possible when men learn to slow down, feel deeply, and be witnessed without judgment.Blake shares his journey in the wake of losing his father, and how mentorship and community shaped his healing. His story reveals how grief can become a teacher—guiding us toward integrity, presence, and a steadier sense of self. We talk about the practices that support this path—naming the truth, listening with the body, and cultivating trust over time—so that strength is no longer performance, but rootedness.Jack opens up about rediscovering softness, setting healthy boundaries, and honoring the dance of masculine and feminine within. Together, we unpack common misconceptions about men's gatherings and highlight what actually happens in these spaces: accountability with compassion, real emotions brought into the light, and the quiet magic that emerges when men allow themselves to be seen. This conversation is a heartfelt invitation to step into your body, open your heart, and reimagine strength as wholeness.[b]Chapters[/b]0:02 - Welcome to Love, Sex and Leadership1:16 - The Big Why in Menswear9:03 - Resistance to Men-Only Spaces13:45 - The Soul Quality in Masculine Softness17:02 - Holding Space for the Alpha and the Feminine20:27 - Building Trust and Vulnerability Among Men28:29 - Embracing the Feminine Within Men

Here are the top 5 takeaways:* AI is Rapidly Transforming Legal Practice.Artificial intelligence is accelerating changes in law firms, from automating routine tasks to enabling new business models. The adoption of generative AI has made it possible to handle complex, unstructured data and deliver legal services faster and more efficiently than ever before.* The Billable Hour is Obsolete.The traditional billable hour model is under pressure. As AI automates more legal work, clients increasingly value output and results over time spent. The billable hour could disappear within five years, replaced by value-based and alternative fee structures, like subscriptions.* Subscription and Alternative Fee Models Offer Major Advantages.Subscription-based and alternative fee arrangements provide pricing transparency, encourage client engagement, and align incentives for efficiency. These models help lawyers focus on long-term client relationships and accessibility, rather than maximizing short-term profits.* AI Enhances Client Service and Access to Justice.By leveraging AI tools, lawyers can serve more clients at lower costs, helping to close the access to justice gap. Subscription models make legal help more affordable and encourage clients to seek advice proactively, preventing problems before they escalate.* Cultural Change is Essential for the Future of Law.Embracing technology and new business models requires a cultural shift within the legal profession. This includes rethinking mentorship, collaboration, and how value is measured. Firms that adapt will reduce burnout, improve teamwork, and better meet evolving client needs.__________________________Sign up for Paxton, my all-in-one AI legal assistant, helping me with legal research, analysis, drafting, and enhancing existing legal work product.I've partnered with Pii to make it easy for you to purchase the hardware I use in my law firm: (1) Studio Setup; (2) Midrange Setup; (3) Highrange Setup.Get Connected with SixFifty⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, a business and employment legal document automation tool.Sign up for ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Gavel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, an automation platform for law firms.Visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Law Subscribed⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to subscribe to the weekly newsletter to listen from your web browser.Prefer monthly updates?

198.The High Cost of Leadership Silence This episode of the Visibility Factor podcast discusses the often-overlooked topic of leadership silence and its hidden costs to organizations. She emphasizes that invisible leaders lead to invisible results, affecting not only their personal growth but also their teams and the organization as a whole. The episode explores the reasons behind leadership silence, its consequences, and practical strategies for leaders to become more visible and impactful.   takeaways Leadership silence can have hidden costs for organizations. Invisible leaders often miss key opportunities for innovation. Silence can lead to a lack of influence and missed promotions. Clear communication is essential for team motivation and alignment. Burnout can result from silent leadership and lack of delegation. Visibility is about demonstrating value, not self-promotion. Intentional actions are necessary for effective visibility. Embracing vulnerability can inspire others to follow suit. Feedback from mentors can help improve visibility efforts. Visible leaders unlock opportunities for themselves and their teams.   Link to Order Your Journey to Visibility Workbook   Thank you for listening to The Visibility Factor Podcast!    Check out my website to order my book and view the  videos/resources for The Visibility Factor book.   As always, I encourage you to reach out!

Carolina Allen, Dana Robb, and Shelli Spotts talk Christmas traditions, how to have an abundant holiday, and how to decide what really matters with your family during the holiday season.   “The world around us is so rich in natural abundance, and yet we're so distracted from it by the abundance of worry and the abundance of tasks.” - Shelli Spotts   “Gift giving is a beautiful expression of love and that someone else is on your mind and in your heart, and it's a genuine offering from you to them. I think that when we understand what a true gift is . . . you will come to recognize the bounty all around you, found in nature, found in service, found in repurposing things, and your eyes change so you're able to see things in a more beautiful way.” - Carolina Allen   “Christmas can be a time of an abundance of patience with other people.” - Carolina Allen   “Maybe sometimes there are going to be those moments that don't feel like abundance, but we push through and we get this beautiful experience on the other side and it's worth it.” - Dana Robb   “I think if we don't teach our children and include our husbands as well in creating the magic of the season that it falls all on the mother, and that's robbing them of their opportunities to learn and grow and develop this capacity to be active participants in creating the family magic.” - Carolina Allen   To read guest bios and to find out more about what we do go to www.bigoceanwomen.org.   00:00 Introduction to Currents Podcast 00:25 Exploring the True Meaning of Abundance 03:31 Gift Giving and Financial Strain 06:10 Creating Meaningful Family Traditions 08:56 Navigating Strained Relationships During Holidays 12:56 Personal Reflections on Holiday Traditions 19:24 Involving Family in Holiday Preparations 24:42 Encouraging Family Participation and Abundance 26:41 Family Traditions and Unique Contributions 27:50 Connecting Through Technology 29:55 Embracing an Abundance Mindset 31:50 Finding Joy in Small Moments 35:09 Creating New Traditions 36:03 The Power of Music and Prayer 38:43 Cherishing Small Moments and Memories 40:26 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

Click Here to View the Original Episode Shownotes Improv in Therapy and in Life – Explore the power – and sheer fun – of using improvisation in therapy! Dr. Ann Kelley and Lisa Kays discuss how improv can deepen conversations around tough topics like race and oppression. They examine white supremacy culture and show how improv values like collaboration, slowing down, and embracing complexity can challenge these norms. Improv fosters creativity, playfulness, and self-reflection to help reduce defensiveness and strengthen relationships in everyday life, at work, or in our closest relationships. By creating a supportive, collaborative environment, improv deepens connections and helps people tap into a wider range of emotions. “A culture of improvisation is collaborative – it is nature – you cannot do it by yourself.” – Lisa Kays Time Stamps for Improv in Therapy & Life 03:30 The integration of improv and tough conversations 10:03 The origins of improv and its connection to social justice 14:27 Contrasting white supremacy culture and improv culture 19:20 Questioning cultural norms and valuing relationships 25:29 The power of the ‘And’ in joining and connecting 38:27 The power of improv in building secure relationships 53:25 Embracing creativity and letting go of perfectionism 58:12 Creating a culture of support and collaboration 01:05:04 Applying improv in everyday life 01:09:10 Deepening connections and accessing different emotions About our Guest for Improv Therapy – Lisa Kays LICSW, LCSW, LCSW-C Lisa Kays, LICSW, LCSW-C, LCSW, is an independently licensed clinical social worker in Washington, D.C, Maryland, Virginia, Oregon and New Jersey.

As the days get shorter and the cold settles in, I can feel the pull to just hunker down and survive until spring, and I have to consciously choose not to give in to it. Maybe your winter is the literal season, the dark mornings and the gray stretches that feel endless. Or maybe your winter looks different—a season of grief, a transition you didn't choose, something in your life that just feels stuck and heavy and long. Either way, we've been taught to brace ourselves and push through hard seasons, to just survive until things get better. But what if there's a different way? What if the struggle isn't really about what's happening around us, but about how we've learned to relate to it? This week, I'm talking with Jamie from Rise Meditate, who spent years dreading winter and has now developed a beautiful framework for working with hard seasons instead of just enduring them. In this episode, you'll hear: ❄️ Why your winter struggle might have nothing to do with the actual weather (and everything to do with the stories you're carrying) ❄️ The study that proved fear can be passed down for 14 generations and what that means for your nervous system ❄️ What happened when Jamie finally stepped outside after years of avoiding winter (and why it felt like escaping from prison) I know winters—whether they're the actual weather or the seasons of life that feel impossible to get through—can be so hard. If even one thing from this conversation helps you feel a little less stuck or a little more empowered, that matters. For full show notes, including takeaways, click here. *** Announcements:
