Life can leave us feeling like victims of our circumstances—overwhelmed by grief, hardship, or unfair struggles. In today's prayer and devotional, Scripture calls us to shift our perspective: instead of asking “Why me, God?” we can ask “How can You use this, Lord?” Keri Eichberger shares the inspiring story of her friend Mark, who battled cancer with unshakable faith. Even in his hardest days, Mark chose to see himself not as a victim but as a vessel of God’s glory. His testimony reminds us that God can redeem our suffering for good and use our pain to point others to His strength and hope. When we lean not on our own understanding but on the Lord, our hardships become platforms for His faithfulness. Today, ask yourself: Am I living as a vessel of God’s light, or am I letting my circumstances define me as a victim? Today's Bible Reading: “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” – Proverbs 3:5 Key Takeaways God can use even the hardest circumstances to bless others and bring Him glory. Choosing to be a vessel shifts our mindset from despair to purpose. Trusting God with all our heart allows us to endure trials with peace and hope. Our legacy can inspire faith in those who watch how we live and suffer with trust in God. Let’s Pray Together Heavenly Father, You are the one I can hold tight to. Thank You that You use every valley, every hardship, and every tear for good. Help me choose to be a vessel of Your glory and not a victim of my circumstances. Fill me with Your peace and joy today, so that my story points others to Your faithfulness. In Jesus’ name, Amen. Calls to Action Begin each day asking God to make you a vessel of His love and truth.

I'm joined today by Kate Phelan and Johann Kurtz to debate the question 'should we encourage our sons to be masculine?' Kate is a lecturer at RMIT University in Melbourne and the author of a recent book titled 'Feminism, Defeated.' Johann is the author of the Substack 'Becoming Noble.' We discussed whether the relationship between masculinity and femininity is necessarily hierarchical, the role of men as protectors of women, why aggression is the most difficult and volatile facet of masculinity, and whether traditional gender roles are prudent or tyrannical.

In this episode Andrea revisits her 2019 conversation with Dr. Daniel J. Siegel to explore Mindsight — his science-based approach to understanding the mind, integrating the brain, and cultivating empathy. Dr. Siegel explains the difference between mind and brain, the benefits of the Wheel of Awareness meditation, and how Mindsight can change brain structure and improve health. Watch full interview here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7pnea2Vbzc Practical tips include daily Mindsight practice, naming emotions to build self-awareness, and simple emotional check-ins to make learning and relationships more meaningful. This week, in our review of EP 28 with Daniel J. Siegel, MD and his book Mindsight, we learned: ✔ The Difference Between the Mind and the Brain. ✔ The Benefits of The Wheel of Awareness Meditation. ✔ How to Understand and Apply Mindsight that gives us insight into ourselves, and empathy for others. ✔ How Mindsight can change brain structure and improve health. ✔ In order to make teaching and learning more meaningful, what we are teaching must have an element of emotion. Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. Episode 371: For today's Episode 371, we continue our journey into the mind with the next interview review. Just a reminder-this review series began back with Episode 366[i], where in Part 3 we discovered an important lesson: if we don't like our results—or what we see on the outside—we need to shift our mindset and look within. True change always begins on the inside. EP 369[ii] we learned how to Rewire our Brain with Dr. Dawson Church and his Bliss Brain Meditations, and then last week, EP 370[iii] with John Medina's Brain Rules, we reviewed how important this understanding of neuroscience is, especially connected to education, teaching and learning. Which brings us to today's review, EP 371, where we revisit a very early episode with clinical professor of psychiatry from UCLA's School of Medicine, Dr. Daniel J Siegel. He's from EP 28[iv], that was recorded back in November of 2019. As we take this journey deeper into the mind, Dr. Dan Siegel offers the perfect place to begin, with his ability to bridge cutting-edge neuroscience and practical wisdom. Dr. Dan Siegel, is well known for his books, trainings and courses that bridge cutting edge neuroscience with mindfulness and therapy. A reminder of his background-he's a clinical professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine and executive director of the Mindsight Institute[v] where you can find his courses, workshops, books and tools to help anyone understand and apply what can sometimes be complicated scientific concepts and make them easy to understand and applicable to our daily lives. At the end of the interview, I let Dr. Siegel know that I had been practicing his Wheel of Awareness Meditation, and ended up reviewing what I learned on EP 60[vi] where we explored the Science Behind a Meditation Practice. You can watch the whole interview by clicking on the link in the resource section in the show notes, and learn all about Dr. Siegel's work that encompasses schools, with resiliency, brain science and helping our next generation to understand how to apply these important strategies whether it's in our classrooms, or workplaces of the future. Today we will continue to explore within, sharpen our mindset, and learn about what Dr. Siegel calls Mindsight. VIDEO 1 Click Here to Watch In Clip 1, Dr. Siegel unpacks the concept of Mindsight and helps clarify the difference between the mind and the brain, when I asked him to explain this distinction. I knew this wasn't an easy question—as I had already listened to him answer it many times over the years, and still wasn't sure I fully grasped it. In fact, I even tried to tackle it myself back in Episode 23[vii], Understanding Your Brain and Mind for Increased Results. But revisiting this topic now, I can see this concept requires a much deeper reflection. So, I asked Dr. Siegel if we could look at his definition of the mind—one he has been studying for years and that many in his scientific and educational circles agree on. He describes the mind as “an embodied and relational process—since it's in the body and it's in our relationships with one another—that regulates the flow of energy and information.” I wanted to hear him expand on this again, especially around why relationships are so critical for our health, our well-being, and for creating what he calls an integrated brain—which he equates with a healthy brain. His answer helped me to understand the importance of implementing Mindsight into our daily life. He said: “The word mind doesn't actually have a formal definition—not in education, psychotherapy, or even in fields like psychology that study it directly. But if we look closely, the mind includes your subjective experience—that inner feeling of being alive. It also includes consciousness—the ability to know that you're having that subjective experience. And beyond that, there's information processing—which doesn't always require consciousness and is essentially what school focuses on: learning to process information. When you understand the mind as a self-organizing process—a complex system that regulates its own becoming—you begin to see the power of teaching about the mind itself. This is what we call Mindsight. And if we could bring this understanding into education, the outcomes for students would be profoundly different.” Key Tip 1 with Dr. Dan Siegel Understanding and Applying Mindsight which is “the way we focus our attention on the internal world. It's how we bring consciousness to our own thoughts and feelings, and then next, how we attune to the inner world of someone else. Mindsight gives us insight into ourselves, and empathy for others.”

Mark Clifton, Mark Hallock, and Dan Hurst discuss some ways to help inject new life into the weekly worship gathering. Some Highlights: Make sure the gathering is truly God-centered, not man-centered. Help people feel the weight and joy of worshiping God, not shallow and joyless. Let theological conviction shape every component, not pragmatism. Preach the Word with precision, passion, and application, not sloppy, dull, and impractical. Celebrate the Lord's Supper consistently with intentionality, not as an afterthought. Do what you can with excellence, not what you can't and not half-way. Keep it simple, not unnecessarily complex. Choose songs that are singable and sound in doctrine, not simply what is popular. Encourage congregational singing, not disengaged observing. Make sacrificial giving a worship opportunity, not something to be avoided. Regularly cast vision for how our worship of God must fuel the mission of God to make disciples, never assuming people drift toward the mission.

As a mom navigating the chaotic world of youth sports, I'm overwhelmed by the endless apps, group chats, and logistical nightmares. Managing my kids' sports schedules feels like running a Fortune 500 company from my car, with nothing but a team hat as compensation. I've found myself drowning in multiple sports apps like TeamSnap and SportsEngine, constantly worried about missing crucial information about uniforms, practice times, and tournament availability. To maintain my sanity, I've implemented some game-changing strategies: a color-coded wall calendar, limiting group chat responses, and most importantly, delegating responsibilities to my kids. I'm teaching them to take ownership of their sports commitments, just like I did when I played sports without smartphones. The key is simplifying the chaos, staying calm, and remembering that we moms don't have to carry the entire load. We're in this together, surviving on iced coffee and the hope that someday, coaches will unite and use just one app. Tips: Otter2 minutes ago Thought for 2 seconds Here are Scottie's suggestions for managing sports chaos: Wall Calendar Strategy Get a large white erase board Color-code by kid, sport, and life activities Put everything in one visible spot Update at the beginning of each month Text Chain Management Stop replying to every group chat Catch up with parents in person at tournaments Reduce digital communication stress Delegate to Kids Have kids ask coaches about practice times Encourage kids to write their own schedules Make kids responsible for uniform preparation Let them manage team expectations Simplification Techniques Give some responsibilities to kids Ask partners to help with app management Reduce digital overwhelm Focus on personal communication Mindset Shifts Take radical responsibility for personal wellness Practice deep breathing to manage anxiety Recognize you don't have to do everything Understand that your calm is contagious to kids Practical Tips Prepare uniforms the night before Communicate directly with coaches Keep a backup of all uniforms in a bag Stay organized and proactive Learn more about your ad choices.

As the Building Better Developers with AI season nears its close, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche revisit a topic every team faces but few get right: code consistency. In this episode, they explore how shared conventions, smart tooling, and simple documentation transform messy projects into scalable, high-quality systems. The Hidden Cost of Inconsistency Picture opening a project where every file tells a different story: mixed naming styles, conflicting error handling, and folders arranged on a whim. Before you can fix a bug or add a feature, you're lost in formatting chaos. Callout: Inconsistency wastes time, complicates onboarding, and hides defects—long before code reaches production. Rob notes that AI can now help. Define your preferred patterns—naming, structure, logging—and tools like ChatGPT can propose refactors that enforce uniformity. What Code Consistency Looks Like Consistency isn't about stifling creativity—it's about shared, predictable choices that reduce cognitive load. The essentials include: Naming & Structure – Clear, conventional names; sensible modules/packages. File Organization – Standard project layouts (Maven for Java, src/app folders in web projects). Comments & Docs – Concise explanations paired with readable code. Error Handling & Logging – A single, unified approach across the app. Michael highlights that without these agreements, containerized deployments break easily and new developers struggle to contribute. Why Teams Benefit from Code Consistency Rob compares a consistent codebase to a band playing in sync: individual instruments can vary, but the music holds together. That's the impact of code consistency. Benefits include: Communication: Developers spend less time deciphering quirks. Maintainability: Predictable structure accelerates debugging and onboarding. Quality: Automated tools enforce standards and prevent regressions. Professionalism: Consistent code signals engineering maturity, not just coding skill. Tools That Do the Heavy Lifting Michael insists that every team should enforce linters, formatters, and pre-commit hooks. Without them, a small change can appear as a full-file rewrite, confusing reviews and merges. Start with community standards like PEP8, Google Java Style, or eslint/prettier. Add checks to CI/CD pipelines. Document expectations in CONTRIBUTING.md or a team wiki. Pro Tip: One rule set, many editors. Don't let each IDE invent its own defaults. Debunking the Myths of Code Consistency “Standards kill creativity.” True creativity lies in solving problems, not inventing new brace styles. “It slows us down.” Alignment may take effort initially, but it saves hours of confusion later. “Every project is different.” Standards should evolve as living guidelines, not rigid laws. Michael adds that consistent libraries allow teams to reuse components across projects instead of duplicating them. How to Put Standards Into Practice Here's a simple rollout path: Choose a baseline such as PEP8 or Google Style. Automate formatting and linting. Add pre-commit hooks to stop violations early. Focus reviews on consistency, not just correctness. Document standards and revisit them quarterly. Encourage adoption. Praise clean diffs and fast merges. Your Developer Challenge Here's your action step: Pick one project and audit three files. How many naming styles, error-handling patterns, or file structures do you find? Then: Apply a linter or formatter. Document two conventions (naming + logging). Share them with your team. Small steps toward code consistency will save your team time, money, and frustration down the road.

Overpowering Emotions Podcast: Helping Children and Teens Manage Big Feels
Emotions don't just “happen”—they're built on signals from the body. In this episode of Overpowering Emotions, we explore how affect—the body's internal state—shapes what kids (and adults) feel, label, and act on. From blood sugar crashes that masquerade as anger, to dehydration that looks like anxiety, you'll learn how body signals are often misread as emotional problems.Discover practical strategies to help children and teens decode their body's “dashboard lights,” build emotional literacy, and prevent misdiagnosis of mood or behavior challenges. Whether you're a parent, educator, or mental health professional, this episode will help you shift the way you support kids who seem dysregulated for “no reason.”Homework Ideas✅ Daily Body Budget Check-insAsk kids: “What's your body telling you right now?”Use body scan visuals (head, chest, stomach, muscles) to track signals.✅ Battery AnalogyPrint or draw a battery chart (100% → low power mode).Have kids check their “charge level” before school, after school, and bedtime.✅ Hydration + Snack RoutineCreate a snack station with healthy, quick options.Encourage kids to drink water at transitions (before school, after recess, after homework).✅ Sleep ResetUse a “sleep log” for one week to track bedtime, wake time, and energy.Share the pattern with kids so they can see how rest affects mood.Enjoying the show?

There is a worldwide war on girls and their identity. The lies and darkness are coming at them at a speed and scale past generations didn't face, like our young girls do now, through things like social media. That's why D.J. invited Samantha Arp, the Girls' Ministry and Curriculum Coordinator at Church at The Mill, to have a conversation about how we all - moms, dads, aunts, uncles, coaches, teachers, and pastors - can best help the young women in our lives know and grow in who they are in Christ. Listen in as Sam shares, with wisdom and sound theology, how we can build up this next generation of believers, not on shallow things, but to become women who hold unwaveringly to the Word and ways of God. Because we aren't just raising women. We're releasing warriors.

Lyn talks to Wonder Wendy, a podcaster dedicated to providing open-source programming for the human mind, about the concept of "riding the next wave of life," particularly for women, emphasising the importance of resilience and adaptability in each phase. Wendy shares her personal journey, including her experiences with marriage, motherhood, and the lessons learned from each chapter of her life, and discusses how challenges can lead to growth and self-discovery. KEY TAKEAWAYS The concept of open source programming is likened to computer programming, where ideas and resources are shared freely to benefit others. This approach is applied to personal development, encouraging individuals to rewrite their mental programming to live a fulfilling life. Life is like surfing, where individuals must learn to navigate both the high and the low waves. Embracing the natural cycles of life, including the inevitability of challenges, is essential for personal growth and resilience. Encourage open discussions about mistakes and challenges, they should not be viewed negatively; instead, see them as opportunities for reflection and learning, that can nuture healthier mindsets and personal growth. Recognising the need for personal space and alone time is crucial for maintaining a healthy relationship. Understanding our own needs can lead to better self-awareness and stronger connections with others. BEST MOMENTS "I just want to help people live better lives, what I call the wonderful bucket list life, and be the fullest person they can be, especially at this point in my life." "If you make someone's life too easy, you don't let them fight a little bit; they don't develop the necessary strength they need to be their best self." "The best way to ride the next wave is to both be alert and open. You need to position yourself so that you're ready for those challenges." "I realised I need time alone... if I can't bring it all back in and shut down every so often, that's where I draw my energy." ABOUT THE GUEST Wonder Wendy: The Imperfect Prophet Wonder Wendy doesn't just talk about living boldly—she embodies it. At 59, she's rappelling off nine-story buildings, hosting podcasts from hotel rooms in Paris, and proving that your most wonder-full life isn't behind you but waiting for you now. As the host of The Imperfect Prophet, Wonder Wendy delivers unfiltered wisdom to women aged 40-65 who refuse to let their lives get smaller. Her podcast isn't just content—it's open-source help for the soul, offering prophetic messages that come from a place even she doesn't fully understand. With her signature blend of spiritual insight, practical wisdom, and fearless authenticity, she gives women permission to age boldly, not quietly.

Bridging the gap between generations isn't just about understanding slang—it's about building trust, opening doors for discipleship, and creating a shared language of faith. In this episode, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Natalie Ambrose take a lighthearted (and sometimes hilarious) look at the “Gen Z Bible,” then turn the conversation toward a much deeper truth: God is doing something unprecedented among today's youth. With Gen Z leading the largest surge of faith growth in modern history, the question for parents, mentors, and leaders is clear—will we be ready to connect, disciple, and walk alongside them as they lead? Drawing from Titus 2 and 1 Timothy 3, Rachael and Natalie unpack three key principles for empowering the next generation of Godly leaders: training them well, passing down wisdom, and modeling a lifelong learner's heart. Along the way, you'll hear practical ways to: Understand your daughter's “lingo” without trying to be “one of the kids” Recognize and nurture her leadership gifts without skipping the necessary training Build bridges between generations in your family, church, and community Encourage girls to embrace discipleship—both giving and receiving it This episode will make you laugh, challenge your perspective, and inspire you to engage with the young leaders God is raising up in this generation. Referenced Scripture: Psalm 23 (paraphrased in Gen Z Bible reading) Deuteronomy 6:4–9 Colossians 4:15 1 Timothy 3:2–13 Titus 2:3–5 Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com.

“Everyone else has one!” If you’ve ever heard this plea from your tween about getting a smartphone, you’re not alone. In today’s Q&A episode, Justin and Kylie unpack one dad’s dilemma: a 12-year-old desperate for a phone, parents holding out until Year 8, and the daily battles in between. You’ll hear why one big conversation won’t work, how to keep your child engaged without caving, and three practical strategies to hold the line without losing connection. KEY POINTS Why no single conversation will “solve” the phone debate The 3 E’s of effective discipline (Explore, Explain, Empower) How to use outside voices (content creators, school assignments) to make the case Why it helps to talk with other parents — your child isn’t always “the only one” The ongoing reality: even once they get a phone, the battles don’t stop QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “You don’t just get compliance when kids understand your decision — you get buy-in.” RESOURCES MENTIONED The Parenting Revolution by Dr Justin Coulson Content creators: Jonathan Haidt, Official Herd, Dr Brad Marshall (“The Unplugged Psychologist”), Freya India [Study] Blocking mobile internet on smartphones improves sustained attention, mental health, and subjective well-being ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Keep the conversations ongoing — not one-and-done. Use external voices and resources to reinforce your message. Encourage your child to research and present arguments for and against screens. Connect with other parents to reality-check the “everyone else has one” claim. Focus on understanding and buy-in, not just rules. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Encourage Yourself & Keep Moving — When life burns, how do you respond? In this hope-filled message, we walk with David at Ziklag (1 Sam 30) as he weeps, strengthens himself in the Lord, inquires, pursues, and recovers all. With humor, relatable stories, and biblical insight, we unpack a simple but powerful rhythm: dwell in God's presence (Ps 27; Isa 40), shape your future with faith-filled words (Jam 3; 2 Cor 4:18), and then take courageous next steps. You'll also hear the story of Isaac digging again until God brought him to Rehoboth - the place of room and restoration (Gen 26) - and a promise of double honor for your shame (Isa 61:7).If you're tired, discouraged, or facing resistance, this episode will help you pray, speak life, and keep moving until you see what God promised. We close with a clear gospel invitation—because true success begins with Jesus.Listen in, be strengthened, and declare over your week: I won't give up. I'll dig again. God is working it out for my good.
