Send us a textWhat happens when society values people solely by their economic output? In this powerful conversation, Janell welcomes classics scholar Nadya Williams, author of "Mothers, Children, and the Body Politic: Ancient Christianity and the Recovery of Human Dignity" (IVP), to explore how our modern devaluation of motherhood parallels pre-Christian attitudes toward women and children. Prepare to have your perspective challenged.Nadia's book "Mothers, Children and the Body Politic: Ancient Christianity and the Recovery of Human Dignity" examines the striking similarities between ancient Greco-Roman views of women as "intellectually lightweight" and "vessels" for children, and today's cultural messages suggesting women without children are happier and wealthier. When presidential candidates on both sides agree that stay-at-home mothers are "bad for the GDP," we must ask: Have we lost sight of human dignity?Order Nadya's new book: Mothers, Children, and the Body PoliticLearn more from Nadya: Nadya WilliamsRead The Bloomberg Report: Women Who Stay Single and Don't Have Kids Are Getting Richer.Read "Does Having Children Make You Happier?"Support the showBegin Your Heartlifter's Journey: Visit and subscribe to Heartlift Central on Substack.

Send me a text! I'd love to know what you're thinking!Work hurt is real, and ministry leaders aren't exempt. Whether it's being let go, navigating toxic work environments, or simply enduring deep disappointments, our vocational pain can shape us in ways we never expected—and often never wanted.In this episode, author of When Work Hurts, shares her own journey through work hurt, explores the different ways leaders experience vocational pain, and offers practical and spiritual resources for healing and resilience. THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:Meryl Herr shares her personal story of “work hurt” and how it led her to address the topic in her work and writing. Meryl Herr describes feeling disillusioned early in her career when her expectations for work did not align with reality, leading to discouragement and even unexpected job loss. Work hurt occurs when people sustain physical or psychological injuries in their workplace. Meryl Herr categorizes work hurt as stemming from toxic systems, unhealthy cultures, issues of job fit, and personal mistakes. Work hurt can be experienced as disappointment, disillusionment, or devastation, each having different causes and emotional impacts. Meryl Herr notes that people's tolerance for disappointment, disillusionment, and devastation is highly individual. Significant numbers of workers experience work hurt, including burnout, discrimination, and disengagement, as reflected in recent research and statistics. Discrimination and harassment at work affect certain demographic groups more acutely, highlighting systemic injustice and inequity. Meryl Herr stresses the need for individuals to acknowledge and process their work-related pain, rather than internalizing it or transmitting it to others. If people do not transform their work pain, they risk transmitting it as cynicism, projection, or stress in personal and family relationships. Community support, honest conversation, prayer—especially lament—and listening to God are central strategies for healing from work hurt. Meryl Herr encourages practices of discerning God's presence and call, likening vocational discernment to “wayfinding” that requires attention to context, one's gifts, and God's invitation. Being called to a vocation or job does not mean one is exempt from pain or suffering; Meryl Herr and Markus Watson both connect this to biblical examples of hardship in the midst of calling. Pastors play an important role by understanding and addressing the work hurt in their congregations and by providing practical, emotional, and spiritual support. Meryl Herr recommends cultivating “everyday faithfulness,” showing up and doing the daily work set before us as a foundational way to keep moving forward through disruption, loss, and fear.RELEVANT RESOURCES AND LINKS:Meryl Herr:Website – www.merylherr.comDePree Center for LeadershipBooks mentioned:When Work Hurts, by Meryl HerrFalling Upward, by Ruchard RohrRelated episodes:114.

Embracing Your Season: Raising Littles and Understanding Teens with Paige Clingenpeel
God is a healer and a redeemer of pain” - Denise JonesIn this powerful episode of Embracing Your Season, Paige sits down with Denise Jones—founder of Reclaiming Hearts and host of DivorceCare—to talk about navigating the emotional and spiritual aftermath of divorce. Denise shares insight on the heavy burdens of shame and guilt, the critical difference between solitude and isolation, and how the Church can be a place of healing rather. Together, they explore how divorce impacts children—and even more deeply, how a parent's own healing journey directly shapes their child's. Denise unpacks the meaning of forgiveness, common missteps parents make, and gives hope to parents experiencing divorce.Paige's TakeawaysYou can't walk into God's purpose for your life while carrying shame. Until you release guilt and shame, they will block your ability to move forward in the healing and freedom God has for you.Unresolved shame affects your relationships. When you live under a blanket of guilt, it impacts the way you connect with your family, friends, and even your children.Bring your pain to God. Healing often begins with asking the Lord for forgiveness and allowing His grace to cover the places you feel most broken.If we stay stuck, our kids stay stuck as well. Don't just focus on surviving day to day—look at your emotional, spiritual, and relational well-being as a whole.Kids can't move forward emotionally if their parent remains emotionally stuck. A parent's healing paves the way for a child's.Kids ask when they are ready for the informationLet your children lead the timing. Kids will start asking questions about the divorce or family dynamics when they're emotionally ready—don't force the conversation.Be honest, but age-appropriate. When your child does ask, respond with truth wrapped in love, always considering what's appropriate for their developmental stage.Reclaiming Hearts: https://reclaiminghearts.org/ DivorceCare: https://www.divorcecare.org/ Paige Clingenpeel: PaigeClingenpeel.comQuestions About the Podcast?

You must put the old version of yourself to death.Start fresh and commit to being born again each day.Confidence comes from keeping your word to yourself.Surround yourself with men who inspire and challenge you.It's not about getting outside your comfort zone, but leaving your zone of familiarity.Define your daily non-negotiables and stick to them.Accountability is crucial for personal growth.Discipline is about commitment regardless of feelings.Empathy for yourself is as important as empathy for others.Your journey is personal, and you don't have to do it alone.Chapters00:10 - Introduction to the Modern Man Podcast01:10 - The Role of Empathy in Transformation04:11 - David's Journey: From Darkness to Light08:11 - Defining Manhood: The Third Option12:13 - The Importance of Self-Discovery15:56 - Creating Alignment in Life20:09 - Flipping the Boat: A New Perspective on Change21:34 - The Death of the Old Self25:26 - Rebuilding the New Man33:09 - The Journey of Transformation38:11 - The Power of Connection and AccountabilityWaldy's Links Website: www.davidwaldy.comInstagram: @davidwaldyLinkedIn: @davidwaldyYouTube: @DavidWaldy Tiktok: @davidwaldyFree eBook Here: Mastering Self-Development: Strategies of the New Masculine: https://rebrand.ly/m2ebook ⚔️JOIN THE NOBLE KNIGHTS MASTERMIND⚔️https://themodernmanpodcast.com/thenobleknights

There's a missing link in our mental health routines, and it has everything to do with our HRV (heart rate variability) and the emotional alignment of our mind and heart.In this week's quickie, we're diving into the science of heart coherence — a powerful physiological state that can regulate your nervous system, reduce stress, and help you reconnect to your emotional intuition. This isn't just a woo-woo idea… it's backed by decades of research from the HeartMath Institute, and it shifted how I think about emotional wellness after I tried it in a recent therapy session.Tune in as I recount my experience with HeartMath, a heart rate variability (HRV) tool that measures your emotional state and alignment in real time. We cover how heart-brain coherence works, how it improves emotional resilience, and why regenerative feelings like gratitude, compassion, and connection are more effective than logic or deep breathing alone.Listen to learn about:What heart coherence really means and why it optimizes our mental and physical healthThe science behind HeartMath and HRV (Heart Rate Variability)How emotions like gratitude and humour can instantly improve your physiological coherenceWhy common coping strategies (like walking or box breathing) might not lead to coherence on their ownThe role your heart plays in decision-making, emotional regulation, and stressHow to practice heart-focused breathing and coherence-building techniquesWhether you're feeling burnt out, anxious, disconnected, or out of sync, this one's for you.
Nothing truly prepares you for the pain of losing your husband. It changes everything—your daily rhythm, your sense of security, your future. If you—or someone you love—is walking the path of widowhood, I want to gently introduce a resource that offers comfort and strength in the midst of heartbreak. In this week’s episode of The Love Offering Podcast, I’m sharing about a devotional titled Widow’s Might: A 365-Day Devotional for Widows. This beautiful book weaves together powerful stories from women who have walked this road before—women who have found solace, strength, and the sustaining love of Jesus. This devotional isn’t just a book—it’s a companion for your grief and a light for your journey. It’s a place to be reminded that you’re not alone, and that God is still writing a story of redemption in your life.
You've been taught that spiritual maturity looks like control. Stoicism. Discipline. Measured responses. But what if that's not maturity at all—just emotional suppression dressed in a Bible verse? This week on Win Today, Zach Meerkreebs, known for his role in the Asbury Outpouring, joins me to dismantle the cultural scorecard we've built around spiritual growth. We're talking about the false belief that spiritual people don't struggle. That leaders don't wrestle with anxiety. That if you're in pain, you're just not “surrendered” enough.

NEED PRAYER? Please send your prayer requests to us on Instagram @chosenbyjesuscbj or email kelleytyan21@gmail.com In this bold and eye opening episode, Kelley and Taylor share a sobering breakdown of how the enemy works subtly to destroy the minds, hearts, and spirits of young people today. "If you were the devil, how would you take out the next generation, without them even noticing?" This scary question was a reel that went viral. We are dissecting the answer it gives from ChatGPT and wait until you hear this! We pray this message will stir your heart to make changes in your lives where you need to. Imagine this: If the devil wanted to destroy a generation, he wouldn't come with horns and fire- he would come through confusion and comfort. He'd start early-before children even know who they are-and he would distract them with: *social media and noise that drowns out their purpose *addictive dopamine highs that leave them overstimulated and underdeveloped *instant gratification that makes silence unbearbale *rebellion marketed as "self love" *sin glamorized as "self expression" The truth? > Many kids today can't sit still or in silence without a screen > Faith is treated like a chore > Porn, parties, and celebrity culture are normal before they're even teens > Mental and emotional health is crumbling under the weight of comparison, isolation, and performance > The absence of God is never identified as the root cause BUT THERE IS HOPE! And we are calling parents, mentors, and believers to WAKE UP and fight back! Listen in how Taylor share how the Holy Spirit can break the chains of addiction, confusion, and cultural bondage. Follow Taylor and Kelley on Instagram for more truth and spiritual insight @taylortyan and @kelleytyan Listen now and ask yourself, what boundaries are you setting in your homes, heart, and in your habits?

In this raw and reflective episode of the Mind Bully Podcast, I'm closing out Mental Health Awareness Month with a deep dive into what it really means to heal—not just emotionally, but spiritually. If you've been silently battling anxiety, depression, or negative thoughts, this one is for you.I share how my own experience with emotional torment exposed the real battle—not just in my mind, but in my spirit and soul. While the world may offer therapy and coping strategies, I explain why true peace and mental clarity can only come through a relationship with Jesus Christ.You'll hear what it looks like to live in alignment with your spiritual identity, how I learned to separate myself from the inner critic, and why so many of us are tired because we've tried to fix mental health with everything except faith.Topics Covered:The difference between mental health challenges and mental illnessWhy the spirit-soul-body framework matters for healingHow I learned to confront my negative inner voice with truthWhy spiritual warfare often disguises itself as emotional fatigueThe power of speaking the Word of God to silence fear and shameLessons Learned:Healing doesn't come by numbing your pain—it comes by naming it and surrendering it.You have authority over depression and anxiety through Christ.Not all tiredness is physical—some of it is spiritual disconnection.You can't fight a spiritual battle with emotional tools.God's Word isn't just comfort—it's your strategy.

The Dad Edge Podcast (formerly The Good Dad Project Podcast)
Ever look at your kids and see echoes of your own struggles? Today, Larry Hagner dives into a powerful and often uncomfortable truth: the unhealed wounds we carry as fathers can cast unseen shadows on our children. Inspired by the Netflix series "Adolescence," this episode unpacks the subtle yet significant ways our unresolved childhood pain impacts our ability to connect with and truly support our kids. Larry uses the story of Eddie and Jamie from "Adolescence" to illustrate how even well-intentioned dads can unintentionally pass down emotional scars if they haven't actively confronted and healed their own pasts. It's not about blame; it's about awareness and the courage to break free from generational cycles. In this raw and honest episode, you'll learn: The subtle ways your own unhealed childhood experiences can manifest in your parenting. How unresolved pain can create emotional distance and hinder genuine connection with your children. Why repeating the mistakes of our fathers is often an unconscious act rooted in our own unresolved issues. Practical steps you can take to begin confronting and healing your past wounds. The profound impact of emotional presence and intentionality in breaking generational cycles. This episode is a powerful call to action for fathers to step up—not just as providers, but as emotionally aware men who are committed to healing themselves for the sake of their families. It's a guidepost on the journey to living and fathering more intentionally, creating a new legacy for the next generation. www.thedadedge.com/friday208 www.1stphorm.com/dadedge www.thedadedge.com/25questions www.thedadedge.com/alliance
