Like it or loathe it, social media is a huge part of our everyday lives. That's the topic sociologist and journalist Kathryn Jezer-Morton grapples with in her new book, The Story of Your Life: Social Media, Storytelling and the Branding of Everyday Life, in which she attempts to uncover the deeper truths about how what we see and share on social media is rewriting the ways we make sense of our everyday experiences. Jen chats to Kathryn about the book, the concept of personal branding, what's an overshare in millennial terms and how that compares to today's youth, and whether three glasses of wine are actually likely to ruin anyone's life for three days.

Helping Others Follow Jesus in Everyday Life - (Known) Part 2 by Northridge Groups
The Church Of The Souls Evolution with The Reverend Blake Rubie (Ordained Minister) Time Travel, Soul Evolution, and the Prayer That Can Change the World Reverend Blake Rubie reflects on singing, service, extraterrestrials, time travel, afterlife judgment, world conflict, prayer, and the soul's journey, urging listeners to love one another, respect the human family, and help guide Earth toward peace. Everyday Life, Date Night, and Toastmasters In this episode of The Church of the Soul's Evolution, Reverend Blake Rubie opens with a personal update from San Antonio, mentioning the weather, a movie date night with his wife, and their new Friday-night routine of going out together. He also discusses attending a Toastmasters meeting that morning, where he gave a short speech he later expands on during the broadcast. The corrected transcript notes that Blake's spiritual, metaphysical, political, and personal reflections are preserved as his statements, while claims about extraterrestrials, time travel, hell, world politics, and religious belief are not independently verified. Singing, Military Cadence, and Service to Wounded Warriors Blake spends a major portion of the early episode reflecting on his lifelong connection to singing. He traces that gift back to his Army service beginning in 1982, when he sang cadence during infantry training and later carried that love of music into karaoke, church choir, and personal practice. He describes singing for wounded warriors at the Warrior and Family Support Center on Fort Sam Houston as one of the best things he has done, recalling how he brought equipment, performed during lunch gatherings, and used music as a quiet form of service, encouragement, and praise. The Sun, Spirit, Hell, and the Recorded Life The episode then moves into Blake's metaphysical view of the sun, spirit, death, and afterlife judgment. He describes human beings as spirits in material bodies, says every second of life is recorded, and presents dreams as times when the spirit leaves the body and travels into “dream land.” Blake also gives an intense description of hell or purgatory as a temporary place of painful rehabilitation for deeply harmful people, while emphasizing that the Creator is ultimately merciful and that souls continue their journey after correction. Creation, Extraterrestrials, and the Universe of Many Beings Blake expands his reflections into a cosmology that includes the Big Bang, a male-and-female Creator, four forces of the universe, and thousands of extraterrestrial civilizations. He describes many types of beings — humanoids, greys, beings of light, hermaphroditic beings, and advanced races from other planets and galaxies — and frames Earth as a young species being helped by older souls and more advanced civilizations. He also suggests that some billionaires and powerful people may be younger souls who make life difficult for others on this planet. Time Travel, Living Spacecraft, and Parallel Reality The central teaching comes from Blake's Toastmasters speech on time travel. He describes extraterrestrial spacecraft as living entities, possibly made from plant matter, crystalline structure, and other materials, piloted through consciousness and advanced mind-machine interaction. Blake says some beings can accelerate close to the speed of light, harness universal energy, and transition into a parallel or spiritual universe where time can be traveled as a location or trail. In his explanation, travelers re-enter the physical universe at a chosen point in history, then return by riding the parallel-universe path forward while avoiding the danger of returning to the same place and time as their earlier selves. Thiaoouba, Guardianship, Nuclear Danger, and Free Will Blake also discusses extraterrestrials from Thiaoouba, describing them as nine-foot-tall hermaphroditic guardians who have interacted with Earth for thousands of years and are represented, in his view, by the statues on Easter Island. He presents advanced civilizations as responsible for helping lower civilizations, but says they cannot override human free will except in rare moments of crisis or divine intervention. This leads into his warning about nuclear weapons, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and the possibility that civilizations must suffer consequences if they choose self-destruction rather than peaceful cooperation. Prayer, Peace, Palestine, Iran, and the Human Family The final section turns toward peace, prayer, and human dignity. Blake argues that Earth is a difficult school for the soul, but that people can still make the world better by loving one another, respecting human life, and praying for others. He speaks emotionally about Palestine, Israel, October 7th, Iran, war, innocent civilians, Trump, political division, and the inability of nations to talk through conflict. He closes by calling on “prayer warriors” to pray for the world, asking the Creator to help humanity survive, continue its soul evolution, and learn to love each other more fully.

This week, we’ll hear from Butch Hartman, the animator and creator behind Nickelodeon’s biggest shows, including The Fairly OddParents and Danny Phantom. Butch grew up in a chaotic household in Michigan, where television and comic books served as his primary escape. This early passion eventually led him to California’s top animation school and then to a long career at Nickelodeon. Today, we’ll hear why he walked away after nearly twenty years at the network to start his own studio. Later in the episode, we’ll hear from Matt Cooper, a country artist from Jacksonville, Florida who turned the worst year of his life into a number one radio single. After losing his mother to cancer, Matt found himself white-knuckling his grief, until a late night group therapy session cracked something open and sent him home to write a song in a single hour that would change everything.

So it’s my job as a producer and a showrunner and a studio head to make sure that whatever goes on that screen is uplifting and is good for people’s souls and their spirit.” - Butch Hartman “There are kids out there I will never meet, but I know that the content I’m producing is going to somehow affect their life in a positive way for the Lord.” - Butch Hartman “We have to be very wise about the decisions we make, especially when it comes to entertainment, because it lives forever.” - Butch Hartman “I think it’s really hard, especially as a man, to deal with grief, because you try to white knuckle everything as a dude.” - Matt Cooper “I’m a big believer in therapy. It was really, really great for me. It was a way for me to talk through the emotions that I had just been hiding a lot.” - Matt Cooper “I wrote my song 'Highs and Lows' in one hour. It was the fastest song I ever wrote. And that was the first sense of like finding music as a way of dealing with my grief.” - Matt Cooper “I think the biggest thing that I’ve taken away from grief is that I understand more of the love of the Father than I ever had in my life.” - Matt Cooper ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

All Else Equal is taking a short break over the summer and will be revisiting some of our favorite conversations from last season. The show will be back with new episodes soon. In the final part of this two-part interview, Steven Pinker, an experimental psychologist and Harvard professor, again joins hosts and finance professors Jonathan Berk and Jules van Binsbergen to discuss his new book When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows: Common Knowledge and the Mysteries of Money, Power, and Everyday Life.

Deception is not always obvious. It often contains elements of truth, uses familiar language, appeals to emotions, and sounds reasonable. This is why Christians must learn to test every message by the Word of God. In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins examines 1 John 4:1 and explains how believers can recognize deceptive ideas in culture, media, false teaching, and even their own assumptions. He also provides four practical ways Christians can grow in biblical discernment: knowing Scripture deeply, requiring biblical grounding, thinking carefully about what they hear, and asking God for wisdom. God has not left His people without guidance. His Word provides the clear and unchanging standard Christians need to distinguish truth from error.

Dr. Jim Burns, founder of HomeWord, returns to the Jesus Calling Podcast to discuss how parents can navigate the heartbreak of estrangement with their adult children. He offers advice on avoiding self-blame, communicating without unsolicited criticism, and prioritizing healthy boundaries. Later, neuroscientist Dr. Joshua W. Brown shares how a terminal brain tumor diagnosis at age thirty sparked his interest in investigating how faith practices and prayer contribute to healing. Using his scientific training, he describes seeing cases that medical professionals cannot explain, exploring how healing may happen beyond the scope of traditional treatment.

Brown Interview Quotes: “I say to people whose kids are just moving into adulthood: ‘Number one, you’re fired as a day-to-day parent. You have to give the kid the passport to adulthood.’” - Dr. Jim Burns “Mentors don’t necessarily give advice, they give advice when they’re asked.” - Dr. Jim Burns “I say to parents all the time, take the lead, but take the lead with love. Take the lead with kindness.” - Dr. Jim Burns “There are very few estrangements where we don’t need the help of counsel. We need somebody coming alongside us to give us insight, especially with estrangement, because we don’t know what to do.” - Dr. Jim Burns “So the tightrope that you walk is you show love, you practice kindness, you expand the relationship to not just be a one-topic parent. And in doing that, you can embrace your child and love your child.” - Dr. Jim Burns “I think the bottom line with a lot of people, a lot of adult children, is they’re asking one question, ‘Do you still love me?’” - Dr. Jim Burns “If you hope for nothing, you are protected from being disappointed. And so hope has a cost to it. I was starting to see people, right in front of me, experience healing through this kind of prayer ministry. And so that gave me some degree of hope that there was at least something going on there that was worth pursuing.” - Dr. Joshua W. Brown “If you spend your time praying, thinking about God, thinking about His goodness, thinking about how He loves you and cares for you, your brain cells will become more responsive to those thoughts over time.” - Dr. Joshua W. Brown “Can what we believe, or our prayers for example, lead to mind-body effects that can have effects on actually reducing pain?” - Dr. Joshua W. Brown “As with food, you are what you eat. And I think the same principle applies spiritually and even psychologically [as to] the things that you spend time thinking about.” - Dr. Joshua W.

When most people think of negotiation, they picture big, high-stakes moments: haggling over the price of a house, negotiating a starting salary, or hammering out the terms of a business deal. But negotiation is also something we do every day. It's working out who's taking on which chores with your spouse, convincing a coworker to help on a project, or even deciding where to go for dinner with friends. The better you understand negotiation — which is really about influencing other people's decisions — the better you'll be at navigating conflicts and opportunities both big and small.My guest has spent decades studying the art and science of wielding that influence. John Richardson teaches negotiation at MIT's Sloan School of Management and is the co-author of Never Settle. Today on the show, John shares what he learned from negotiation legends like Roger Fisher, co-author of Getting to Yes, and FBI hostage negotiator Chris Voss. He unpacks the skills of master negotiators, including how to build reciprocity, uncover what people actually want, and keep your emotions from hijacking your judgment. We also get into the part of negotiation that makes people the most uncomfortable: the back-and-forth over hard numbers like price and salary and how to handle those conversations with greater confidence and better results.Resources Related to the PodcastAoM Podcast #234: Haggling and Deal Making Advice From a FBI Hostage Negotiator (With Chris Voss)AoM Podcast #559: How to Handle Difficult Conversations (With Sheila Heen)Influence: The Essential Guide to the Psychology of Influence and Persuasion in Everyday Life by Robert B.

This podcast episode delves into the complexities of personal expression, particularly regarding the use of profanity and its implications within social discourse. I engage in a candid dialogue with my co-hosts about the perceptions of vulgar language, reflecting on our own experiences and the criticisms we have received from our families regarding our linguistic choices. Through this exploration, we question the very definition of "good" cursing and its contextual significance in our lives. We also share various anecdotes that highlight moments of triumph, both trivial and substantial, in our respective journeys, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and celebrating personal victories. Ultimately, we aim to foster a sense of community and connection through our shared narratives, encouraging our listeners to reflect on their own moments of achievement amidst life's challenges. The discourse in this episode unfurls as we delve into the complexities of self-expression and societal norms surrounding profanity. Reuben and his co-hosts engage in a candid discussion about their personal experiences with cursing, illuminated by anecdotes that reflect on familial influences and societal perceptions. The dialogue traverses the dichotomy of linguistic expression and the expectations set by parental figures, particularly highlighting the contrasting views on what constitutes 'good' or 'bad' profanity. Through this examination, we confront the broader implications of language, including its role in shaping identities and community interactions, ultimately questioning the arbitrary nature of these societal standards. As the conversation progresses, we find ourselves contemplating the intricate relationship between language and emotion. The hosts articulate the necessity of certain vulgarities as a form of emotional release, positing that profanity can serve as a valid conduit for expressing heightened feelings. This notion is juxtaposed against the backdrop of societal expectations that often stigmatize such expressions, leading to a profound inquiry into the legitimacy of emotional expression within the constraints imposed by cultural norms. The episode culminates in a broader reflection on how language, particularly in its most unrefined forms, becomes a tool for navigating the complexities of human experience, urging listeners to reconsider their own relationships with language and societal expectations.

Today, we’re joined by two people who found their way through the wreckage of their pasts to build something new. First, we hear from Tom Hardin. A former Wall Street insider trader, Tom saw his entire world unravel the morning the FBI knocked on his door. He joins us to share how he moved from a double life of secrets to finding a faith that finally holds up on Monday mornings. Then, we’re joined by Dawn Cazedessus [CAZZ de sue], author of Trailer Park CEO. Raised in an environment of generational poverty and abuse, Dawn navigated the difficult path from survival to becoming a regional leader for Keller Williams International. She’ll walk us through how she broke that cycle and why she’s learned to embrace failure as a way to fail forward.

I had all the drive in the world; I just hadn’t built the moral infrastructure to sustain it.” - Tom Hardin “The most dangerous lie isn’t the one you tell others; it’s absolutely the one you tell yourself so fluently you forget it’s a lie at all.” - Tom Hardin “God didn’t meet me at the top of my career; He met me at the bottom of my character.” - Tom Hardin “Guilt says, I did something bad, shame says, I am something terrible. Guilt can drive you towards repentance, but shame drives you into hiding—not only from yourself, but from others and from God.” - Tom Hardin “This idea of “Who am I hurting” is the most seductive question a person can ask because the answer is always larger than you’re willing to imagine while you’re asking it.” - Tom Hardin “Faithfulness isn’t a feeling. It’s a decision you make every morning before the feelings arrive.” - Tom Hardin “As I drove off [from the trailer park], in my mind, I was leaving that past behind and going into the future, but what I realized later on in my life is that I physically left that day, but it took years to mentally leave.” - Dawn Cazedessus “The people who have given me their time have been even more valuable because they took time to pour into me, to speak into me.” - Dawn Cazedessus “You’ve got to be able to approach life with a glass that is overflowing, so that you can navigate the difficulty of the things.” - Dawn Cazedessus ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

How can we find the Divine in everyday life? Friends, spiritual seekers, and Fairy & Flame Podcast hosts Kasey Hodges and Kathryn Camsey join A Psychic's Story to explore intuition, healing, consciousness, signs from Spirit, and how each of us can cultivate a deeper relationship with the Divine. Is the Divine found only in extraordinary mystical experiences? Or is it quietly present in the everyday moments we often overlook? Is a deep spiritual connection something available to all of us? How do we learn to trust our intuition, recognize signs, and deepen our connection with something greater than ourselves? Kasey and Kathryn share their very different spiritual journeys — from growing up in a Pentecostal healing tradition and rediscovering spirituality later in life to childhood experiences with fairies, psychic development, and a lifelong fascination with the unseen world. Along with Nichole, they discuss why they believe spirituality isn't about escaping everyday life, but about becoming more fully present within it. One of the most meaningful takeaways from this conversation is that our connection with the Divine isn't reserved for extraordinary experiences. It's something we can cultivate every day by becoming more present, trusting our intuition, and noticing the signs already surrounding us. In this episode, you'll learn: Why spirituality isn't about escaping everyday life but becoming more fully present within it. How signs and synchronicities can strengthen your trust in Spirit. Why creating space through healing and presence allows intuition to flourish. How childhood spiritual experiences can shape our relationship with the unseen. The connection between faith, spirituality, and living a more conscious life. Why the most meaningful spiritual experiences often happen in the simplest moments.

"In honor of America's 250th anniversary, A Great Awakening tells the true story of an unlikely friendship that resulted in one of the most defining moments in American history. With the colonies on the brink of collapse, the Reverend George Whitefield (Jonathan Blair) sparks the first Great Awakening, uniting an entire generation with his thundering proclamation of liberty in Christ. In a miraculous turn of events, one of Whitefield's closest friends and greatest promoters becomes none other than Benjamin Franklin (John Paul Sneed). With the nation's freedom hanging in the balance, Franklin discovers true liberty cannot only be written into law - it must be awakened in the hearts of the people."

This class was originally taught in 2020 as part of the Angel Membership Program. Hello, beautiful souls! Welcome back to the Angels & Awakening Podcast. I'm your host and author, Julie Jancius. Friends, this is the final teaching of the Oneness series — and I have to warn you, this one goes deep. This is where we integrate oneness fully into our everyday lives. And to do that, I'm sharing one of the most personal stories I have ever told. Because oneness doesn't make your life magically perfect. What it does is show you exactly where you're out of alignment — and give you the courage to do something about it.
People often assume that someone with brown eyes appears more trustworthy than someone with blue eyes. Research suggests there may be something to that belief—but not for the reason most people think. In fact, eye color may have very little to do with it. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3541379/ Pain seems simple. You get hurt, you feel pain. Problem solved. Except it isn't that simple at all. Why can two people experience the same injury yet report very different levels of pain? How can amputees feel excruciating pain in a limb that no longer exists? Scientists now understand that pain is not merely a signal sent from the body to the brain. Instead, pain is a complex experience shaped by biology, psychology, memory, expectations, emotions, and environment. Dr. Rachel Zoffness, a leading pain expert on the faculty at UCSF School of Medicine, joins me to explain what modern science has discovered about pain, why many traditional assumptions about it are wrong, and how understanding pain differently may help people suffer less. She is author of Tell Me Where It Hurts: The New Science of Pain and How to Heal (https://amzn.to/4afunMR). Life has become incredibly convenient. We no longer unfold paper maps, collect ticket stubs, browse record stores, save newspaper clippings, or carry around many of the physical objects that once filled everyday life. Digital technology has made countless tasks faster and easier—but has something been lost along the way? Ian Bogost believes the answer is yes. He argues that many of the small physical experiences we've eliminated weren't just clutter or inefficiency. They added texture, meaning, memory, and satisfaction to life. In our conversation, he explains how the disappearance of these seemingly insignificant things may be quietly changing our relationship with the world and what we can do to reclaim some of what we've lost. Ian is a staff writer at The Atlantic and author of The Small Stuff: How to Lead a More Gratifying Life (https://amzn.to/3SDVFXf). You've probably heard the travel hack: search for airline tickets too many times and the price will go up. That's why some people clear their browser history, use incognito mode, or switch devices before booking a flight. But does any of that actually work? The answer may surprise you. https://nypost.com/2025/06/03/lifestyle/will-clearing-your-search-history-make-flight-prices-cheaper-experts-reveal-the-surprising-truth/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS WAYFAIR: Ready to upgrade your home for way less?
