In this transparent, relatable, and deeply personal episode, David Archuleta opens up about faith, identity, and self discovery while discussing his memoir Devout: Losing My Faith to Find Myself. Raised by a Honduran mother and a white father, David reflects on growing up between cultures, navigating Latinidad, and learning to fully embrace his heritage. He shares how serving a mission in South America strengthened his Spanish and expanded his understanding of community, culture, and belief. The conversation also explores the pressure of religious expectations, family trauma, and the emotional toll of reconciling faith with his same sex attraction. David speaks honestly about his three engagements to women, shame, healing, and what it took to step away from what no longer aligned with who he truly is even his church. From the legacy of his multi platinum hit Crush to honoring Latin classics like Contigo en la Distancia, this episode connects music, culture, and identity in a way that feels raw and real. At its core, this conversation is about courage, growth, and choosing authenticity. If you have ever questioned your faith, struggled with belonging, or felt caught between cultures, this one will resonate. David Archuleta’s memoir DEVOUT: Losing My Faith to Find Myself is out now.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This week, Emily sits down with advisory teacher Rebecca Duffus, and neurodiversity advocate Lyric Rivera, to discuss the critical shift from viewing autism as a purely medical diagnosis to embracing it as a core identity. Lyric shares their personal journey of late discovery and the complex emotions that accompany it, from grief to validation. Rebecca provides some insight into the importance of authentic, affirming language. They also discuss how to empower autistic youth to advocate for their needs, navigate a world that isn't always accommodating, and ultimately discover the power of being exactly who they are. Rebecca and Lyric are co-authors of Autism, Identity and Me. TAKEAWAYS Identity vs pathology is all about framing autism as a core identity, rather than strictly a medical diagnosis or a list of deficits. Late-diagnosis autism often results in a complex cocktail of emotions, including grief, anger, and eventually relief. There is a crucial difference between forcing an upbeat perspective, and using language that genuinely validates an autistic person's lived experience. Equipping, not just protecting, will help autistic kids understand neurodiversity, handle misunderstandings, and utilize an autism identity statement for self-advocacy. There is a shifting landscape of autism support, language, and systemic challenges in the US, especially compared to the UK. Mental health professionals, join us for our next live 90-minute CE training, Inherited Neurodivergence: Supporting Parents' Identity Journeys, featuring presenter, Dr. Amy Marschall. The event is Friday, March 6 at 2:00 pm Eastern/11:00 am Pacific. It's approved for continuing education through the American Psychological Association and the National Board of Certified Counselors. If you can't make it live, you can still register for the self-study version. Rebecca Duffus, BSc, PGCE, MA, is an experienced Advisory Teacher with a background in psychology and a master's in Autism and Education. Based in the UK, she has worked across mainstream and specialist education settings, as well as with local councils, charities, and educational services to support autistic students and the professionals who serve them. Rebecca is the author of Autism, Identity & Me, a workbook and guidebook set published by Routledge in both the U.S. and the UK. She regularly speaks at conferences, develops parent programmes, and provides training and coaching for educators and schools. Her work centers on supporting identity-affirming practices and building inclusive, informed environments for neurodivergent learners. Lyric Rivera is the founder of NeuroDivergent Consulting and the author of the best-selling business ethics book Workplace Neurodiversity Rising, praised by Forbes as "an excellent 'how-to manual' based on lived experience and professional competence," and named a "Trend for 2023." A prominent voice in the neurodiversity movement, Lyric is also the creator of the popular blog NeuroDivergent Rebel and the originator of the #AskingAutistics hashtag, which has sparked wide-reaching conversations about the Autistic experience. Through their writing, consulting, and online advocacy, Lyric helps organizations and individuals build more inclusive, neurodiversity-affirming environments. Their work fosters connection and understanding across communities and empowers neurodivergent people to be heard, supported, and celebrated.

When you are in the thick of raising children, it can feel overwhelming to sort through expectations, opinions, and the daily logistics of family life. In this conversation, Jennifer shares what nearly three decades of motherhood have taught her about choosing peace in each season, homeschooling at your own pace, navigating special needs with a focus on progress, and letting go of unnecessary pressure. This episode offers perspective and encouragement for building a peaceful family culture that reflects your unique family. In this episode, we cover: - Introducing Jennifer's family of seven children ranging from 28 to 12 years old, life on a Wisconsin cranberry farm, and decades of homeschooling - What no one tells you about having a wide age range of children and the surprising gift of older kids becoming your “allies” in family life - How perspective shifts as children grow up, get married, and start families of their own, and why the years truly do move faster than you think - Letting go of early motherhood pressures about tidy homes, perfect routines, and outside expectations in order to create a peaceful family culture - Rethinking homeschool success through the lens of progress over grade levels, especially when navigating special needs - Practical rhythms for homeschooling multiple children with different abilities without doing everything at the same time - The freedom that comes with age and experience—why comparison loses its grip and confidence grows over time - Overthinking in modern motherhood, the pressure to “get it right” the first time, and permission to change your mind as you grow - What it's actually like to become a young grandmother while still raising children at home and how that dynamic reshapes family life - Embracing the evolving nature of family seasons instead of trying to control or predict them View full show notes on the blog + watch this episode on YouTube.

When we hear the word foreplay, most of us immediately think about the bedroom. But intimacy in marriage was never meant to be confined to a single moment behind closed doors. Today, we're talking about foreplay 24/7/36 the idea that emotional, spiritual, and relational connection is built continually, hour by hour, day by day. We'll explore how intentional connection outside the bedroom sets the stage for deeper intimacy inside it, why this matters so much for the health of our marriage, and how small, everyday choices can radically change the temperature of our relationship. Episode Highlights: What happens in the bedroom is directly affected by what happens outside the bedroom. There are five types of intimacy that every strong marriage needs. The goal is not perfection, it's progress. Quotes from this Episode: When couples neglect the other four intimacies and they only focus on the physical the relationship becomes transactional sex becomes about physical release instead of real connection. - Dr. Kim That's often how affairs begin, not with physical attraction, but with unmet emotional needs. - Dr. Kim When intimacy is only in the bedroom, the temperature of the marriage runs cold. - Dr. Kim Replace bad patterns with good ones. Don't just stop the negative, start positive. Instead of scrolling, ask about their day. Instead of logistics, share something you're grateful for about them and finally give each other grace. -Dr. Kim When you come home, prioritize your spouse above anything else. -Dr. Kim When there's unresolved tension,when there's hurt or anger or distance, that vulnerability feels unsafe. -Dr. Kim Awkward is better than distant. Have the conversation. -Dr. Kim Intimacy isn't built in a single grand gesture. It's rebuilt, one conversation, one touch, one prayer at a time. -Dr. Kim Questions Worth Discussing: What's one moment from today (or this week) where we felt connected—or disconnected—and why do you think that was? Did anything in the episode help you see everyday moments differently when it comes to intimacy or connection? What's one small thing we could do differently this week to stay more connected outside the bedroom? Mentioned in this Episode: Awesome Marriage is on Instagram!

In a culture that is obsessed with perfection, it's easy to believe that hospitality requires a spotless home, a carefully planned menu, and a seamless itinerary. But the truth is, connection has never required perfection.Sometimes, the most meaningful moments in life happen with dishes in the sink and pillows on the floor. Deep down, most of us already know this to be true. And yet, inviting people into our space can still feel overwhelming.That's why, today, we're asking the question:What if hospitality isn't about impressing others, but about making space for them to feel seen and loved?My guest today is Abby Kuykendall, author of Let the Biscuits Burn. Abby has spent years exploring what it means to build God-centered community around the table. Through her own journey of singleness, growth, and opening her home in different seasons, she has discovered that hospitality is less about performance and more about presence.In this episode, you'll hear:The difference between entertaining and true hospitalityWhy it's important to gather with people who are different from usThree simple qualities that can help you practice hospitality right where you areAnd more!I loved this conversation with Abby! It was such a freeing reminder that we don't have to do hospitality perfectly to do it faithfully.Find resources mentioned and more in the show notes: jillsavage.org/abby-kuykendall-286Join us for 6 weeks of our Great Sexpectations focus in our Date Night membership where we dive deep into intimacy.

I am joined by artist, author, and creative director Kate Schelter to talk about what happens when motherhood and crisis completely crack your identity open. Kate shares how leaving New York City after twenty years, having two babies in two years, and living through COVID left her feeling stripped of her professional self and flooded with fear and anxiety—even while she was sitting in the “abundant nest” she'd always dreamed of. We dive into how she slowly rebuilt a sense of self by fiercely advocating for her own needs, like non‑negotiable solo trips back into the city, and why doing what lights you up is essential for your kids, not selfish. Kate explains her philosophy of personal style as authentic handwriting, the danger of “snowplow parenting,” and how to model courage, creativity, and self-trust instead of martyrdom. This conversation is a love letter to ambitious moms who refuse to choose between their art, their work, and their children.

Far more than simply not eating or drinking from dawn to sunset, Ramadan is a spiritual reset button: a month-long journey of self-discipline, gratitude, empathy, and drawing closer to God. It's a celebration of faith that transforms ordinary days into moments of deep meaning and shared joy.Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar and one of the Five Pillars of Islam. For 29 or 30 days—depending on the sighting of the new crescent moon—adult Muslims who are physically able fast from just before sunrise (the pre-dawn meal called suhoor) until sunset (the meal that breaks the fast, called iftar). The fast includes abstaining from food, drink, smoking, and intimate relations, but it also means guarding against anger, gossip, dishonesty, and negative thoughts. The goal is spiritual purification, increased devotion, and a heightened sense of compassion for those who go hungry every day. The day often begins with the quiet alarm of the pre-dawn call to prayer, followed by suhoor—a light but sustaining meal to carry people through the hours ahead. Throughout the day, many increase their prayers, read the Quran, give charity, and practice patience. At sunset, the fast is broken—usually with dates and water in remembrance of the Prophet Muhammad's practice—followed by a larger iftar meal shared with family and friends. Special nightly prayers called taraweeh fill mosques with beautiful recitations, and the month reaches its emotional peak during Laylat al-Qadr (the Night of Power), believed to be the night the Quran was first revealed.The month ends with Eid al-Fitr, a joyous three-day festival of feasting, new clothes, gift-giving, and gratitude for the strength to complete the fast.Ramadan's roots reach back to 610 CE in the deserts of Mecca, when the Prophet Muhammad received the first verses of the Quran from the angel Gabriel during a period of intense spiritual retreat in the Cave of Hira. That night—later called Laylat al-Qadr—marked the beginning of Islam's revelation.Fasting itself became obligatory about a decade later, after the Muslim community had migrated to Medina. The practice built on earlier traditions of fasting found among Jews and Christians in Arabia, but Islam gave it a distinctive form and purpose: a month-long act of worship open to the entire community, rich and poor alike. The name "Ramadan" comes from the Arabic root meaning “scorching heat” or "intense burning,” symbolizing both the blazing desert sun and the way fasting burns away impurities from the soul.Over the centuries, as Islam spread across continents, Ramadan absorbed beautiful local customs while retaining its core rituals. From the grand iftar banquets of the Ottoman palaces to the quiet devotion of early African American Muslims who fasted in secret, the month has always been a unifying force. Ramadan turns neighborhoods into living tapestries of light, sound, and generosity. Streets fill with lanterns, fairy lights, and colorful decorations. In many countries, people exchange special greetings—“Ramadan Mubarak” (Blessed Ramadan) or “Ramadan Kareem” (Generous Ramadan)—and share food with neighbors, even those who are not fasting.Mosques become community hubs, bustling late into the night with taraweeh prayers that feel like spiritual concerts. Charity surges: food drives, donations, and zakat al-fitr (a mandatory giving before Eid to ensure the poor can celebrate too). Families gather every evening for iftar, turning meals into moments of laughter, storytelling, and reconnection.

AI is capable of pulling together data and creating new threads of insights.AI brings the opportunity to case-assess more richly and not only understand the care that's being rendered, but in what context the person lives. Using AI in affordable housing allows analysis of social determinants of health data—answering questions like: Does beingsocial and having a wide friend set prevent heart disease and dementiaAI needs contextual thinking provided by humans The risk of AI is misinformation from scaping the internet, which is not always reliable. We need “guidelines and guide rails.” To reduce risk, be specific with prompts and rely on credible reports and studies.Precision medicine eliminates a one-size-fits-all approach. Genomic data and social determinant data allows us to render solutions that are individualized in ways we couldn't imagine a decade ago.
Read OnlineJesus saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the customs post. He said to him, “Follow me.” And leaving everything behind, he got up and followed him. Then Levi gave a great banquet for him in his house, and a large crowd of tax collectors and others were at table with them. Luke 5:27–29Levi's life changed in an instant. He encountered the Messiah, the Son of God, the Savior of the world, and in response to Jesus' simple yet profound invitation—“Follow me”—Levi left everything behind and followed Him. This radical decision offers an inspiring witness as we begin our Lenten journeys.Christ's call is often twofold. Even those baptized as infants must eventually hear and respond to that call for themselves. There comes a moment after the age of reason when those raised in the faith must choose whether to embrace the call to follow Jesus. For those who did not encounter Christ in their youth or who might have strayed from Him, the call is ever-present, continuously offered by God. Like Levi, once that invitation is heard and internalized, it demands a response—a radical choice to follow Him. And with that choice, life is never the same.When Levi accepted Jesus' invitation, his life underwent a complete transformation. He “left everything behind.” While his career as a tax collector was financially lucrative, it likely left him spiritually empty. Tax collectors were viewed with disdain by their fellow Jews because they worked for the Roman oppressors and often took more than what was owed for their own profit. This position, though offering wealth, created a life of moral compromise, guilt, and isolation. It was into this interior emptiness that Jesus entered. Levi, touched by an intuitive grace, recognized that abandoning everything and following Christ was the answer to his deepest longings.Have you heard Christ's call in your own life? Have you abandoned everything that stands in the way of fully following Him? This question is especially significant for those who were raised in the faith. While being baptized as a child and growing up in the Church is a great gift, it does not automatically mean that we have internalized the faith or personally responded to Jesus' invitation. Have you truly heard Jesus call you? Have you left behind everything that hinders your complete “Yes” to Him?Levi's transformation didn't stop with his “Yes.” He wanted to share his newfound joy and faith with others. Levi hosted a “great banquet” for Jesus in his home, inviting a large group of tax collectors and others to meet the One who had changed his life. His encounter with Christ was so profound and life-giving that he couldn't keep it to himself—he wanted others, especially those whom he knew were also spiritually empty, to encounter the same transformative love.If you have responded to Jesus' call and given your life to Him, your heart will naturally burn with a desire to share that joy with others. As you look at your family, friends, and acquaintances, do you see the same restlessness or emptiness that once filled your heart? How might God be calling you to invite them to encounter Christ? Perhaps, like Levi, you are called to “host a banquet” in your own way, sharing the Good News with those who need it the most.Reflect today on Levi's conversion and see your own life in his story. Recognize the restlessness within your heart and listen for Jesus' call. Identify Him as the answer to your deepest desires. Say “Yes” to His invitation, abandoning everything that competes with His will, and share the treasure of your faith with others. Embracing this twofold path is one of the best ways to ensure a truly fruitful Lent. My inviting Lord, You call to me each day, yet I often fail to listen. Help me to hear Your voice more clearly this Lent and to respond with all my heart. I choose to leave behind all that stands in the way of following You, and I pray that You will use me to invite others to Your heavenly banquet.
