Podcasts about Everyday life

This week, we hear from comedian Tim Hawkins, who shares what it took to build a career on clean, relatable comedy—and the surprising lesson he learned when nearly two decades of constant road life led to complete burnout. Later in the episode, we’ll hear from singer-songwriter and pastor Michael Charles Olson, who shares a life influenced by both worship and wounds. Raised in a church where music and faith were woven into everyday life, Michael reflects on how that early sense of sanctuary was later shaken to its core by a church fire that damaged more than just its walls.

We laughed a lot. We enjoyed comedy. I didn’t know what it was. I just know it made me feel good, and it was fun to create it and make people laugh.” - Tim Hawkins “My job is to be funny. People call me a Christian comedian, but I’m a Christian who is a comedian.” - Tim Hawkins “It’s all about connection. Connection is something that we need—and lack. It’s a need that fulfills something in us.” - Tim Hawkins “A thing that I needed to learn was to control my brain, to just shut it down.. And being able to just stop that and be quiet and present.” - Tim Hawkins “Just like that organ was a really, really intricate instrument of praise, my dad was a beautiful soul, deep soul, and through the power of unforgiveness, our home fell apart.” - Michael Charles Olson “When the heart of the father turns inward on itself through pain, the child is kind of left not knowing what to do because we’re hardwired in the way that we were created in our relationship with God for this openness and vulnerability.” - Michael Charles Olson “I really feel like my role as a worship leader is to create environments where the fire of God is experienced in the church.” - Michael Charles Olson “We all go through seasons of brokenness. We all go through seasons where we feel like we’ve let God down. We feel like we let ourselves down. I think I would just say that I’ve had those seasons, and it’s very, very important to hear the voice of the Good Shepherd speaking to you in the midst of your brokenness.” - Michael Charles Olson “When you’re wounded in the sanctuary, when the thing that you hold most dear burns to the ground, God meets you in a restorative place.” - Michael Charles Olson ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

A class given at Berkeley Zen Center on Thursday, June 4th 2026 by Shinshu Roberts.

This week, we’ll hear from Annie Bosko, a country artist whose career was gaining momentum when, in the middle of a live performance, her voice suddenly gave out. What followed was a vocal cord injury that required surgery and months of recovery where she couldn’t speak at all. Annie shares what that season of silence revealed, the people who stepped in to help her rebuild, and how she slowly returned to doing what she loves. Later, we’ll hear from chef and author Danielle Kartes. After her family lost everything when their restaurant closed, Danielle struggled to rebuild her life and marriage. Though she vowed never to cook again, she was drawn back to the kitchen. Her attempt to reconcile her deep faith with her practical, food-centric work asking, “How does hope relate to pot roast?” became the foundation for her company, Rustic Joyful Food.

But when nothing’s going for you, or when you feel like you’re at your wit’s end and you feel really down on all hope, I think that’s when people have to turn to faith the most.” - Annie Bosko “You have to be on the bigger spiritual plan, path, [or] course for your life that doesn’t look like anyone else’s. That’s really important to sort of tune out sometimes even like your own voices of fear, because I really believe that anytime you’re making decisions out of fear, that’s not in love.” - Annie Bosko “I can carry out God’s plan for me, [and] I think at the end of the day, it’s only you and God [that] know how far you can actually go.” - Annie Bosko “God is still good, and He can still use your story even if it’s broken. God still wants wonderful things from you.” - Danielle Kartes “When I stopped wanting Him to show up in the way that I thought I needed and allowed God to show up in the way that He needed for my life, everything changed as far as my peace and trusting His provision.” - Danielle Kartes “I think that you can strengthen your family bond and your bond with your children by allowing them into your day. I think that it’s really important to just involve your kids in what you’re doing.” - Danielle Kartes “The more time you spend with the Lord, the more time you make for Jesus, the better you feel, even if your life circumstances aren’t changing.” - Danielle Kartes “God didn’t promise us that it would be easy, but He did promise, “I’m going to be with you every step of the way.” - Danielle Kartes ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

When we picture the American Revolution, we picture battles. But for the men and women who actually lived and fought in it, the Revolution was also a job with mess rotations, night watches, short rations, and children underfoot. Historians Eugene Procknow, Gabriel Neville, and Thomas Sobol pull back the curtain on everyday military life during the War for Independence. They discuss how the armies were structured, what soldiers actually ate, what camp followers endured, and how soldiers found humanity amid grinding hardship. You'll hear about a Black Continental soldier who had eaten nothing but bread for eleven days, and was still writing letters home that went unanswered. A Georgia soldier who agreed to fight for the British just to escape a prison ship, then deserted and marched across two states to rejoin Nathanael Greene's army. And you'll discover why John Adams believed the most dangerous moment of the Revolution wasn't a battle at all.Show Notes: https://www.benfranklinsworld.com/403 EPISODE OUTLINE00:00:00  Introduction00:05:44 Structure of the British and Continental Armies00:10:33 Militia, German Soldiers, and Indian Allies00:20:43 Everyday Life in the American War for Independence00:25:80 Camp Followers00:33:10 Downtime in the Army00:36:59 Soldiers' Letters00:46:00 Food Procurement & Supply Chains00:50:27 Supplementing Rations00:55:34 War Mementoes & Plunder00:58:36 Medical Care in the Army01:08:07 The Revolution in ContextRECOMMENDED NEXT EPISODES

Richard Blackaby joins Steve Adams for a powerful conversation about spiritual maturity, daily rhythms with God, and what it really means to experience God in everyday life—not just in the extraordinary moments.Drawing from the legacy of the bestselling study Experiencing God and the new release Experiencing God in Everyday Life, Richard shares deeply personal stories about his father, Henry Blackaby, spiritual formation, abiding in Christ, and how ordinary believers can learn to recognize God's presence in the middle of everyday life.Together, Steve and Richard discuss:Why many Christians feel disconnected from God in daily lifeThe danger of reducing faith to activity instead of relationshipThe role of spiritual rhythms and habits in transformationThe importance of spiritual companionshipHow suffering and disruption shape maturityThe next generation's hunger for authentic faithWhy most of life is lived in the “valleys,” not the mountaintopsThis conversation is filled with wisdom, encouragement, and practical insight for anyone longing to walk more closely with Jesus in the ordinary rhythms of life.

Becoming Like Jesus in Everyday Life

“Share this Letter (and Read Others)” (vv. 5, 16; cf. 1:24-29) Jesus' Cross (and Ours) (vv. 3-4, 7-8, 10-12, 17-18; cf. 1:15; 3:10) The Cross in Everyday Life (vv. 5-6, 9-11, 18) Discussion Starters Monday—If you could write a conclusion for the book of Colossians, what would it sound like? What themes would you want to hit? How would you go about that? Tuesday—What does it mean that Jesus is the image of the invisible Creator? (1:15) How does he reveal to us who God is? Wednesday—What does it mean to be renewed in Christ's image? (3:10) How does all that Jesus endured in this life shape your understanding of your time on earth? Thursday—How are the themes of humility and peace important and integral to Colossians? Why is humility so hard? Why can peace be hard to even want, let alone accomplish? Friday—What does it mean to remember Paul's chains? How does this shape your understanding of life in this world? How does it comfort you?

“Ujaale apni yaadon ke hamare saath rehne do,na jaane kis gali mein zindagi ki shaam ho jaaye.” With Bashir Badr sahab's passing on May 28, Urdu poetry lost one of its warmest and most humane voices. In this episode of Urdunama, we remember the poet who made shayari feel intimate, conversational and deeply personal. From love and loneliness to loss, memory, riots and modern city life, Bashir sahib wrote about ordinary human emotions in a way generations instantly connected with. Fabeha Syed revisits some of his most iconic ghazals and reflects on the quiet grace and resilience that made Bashir Badr's poetry timeless. Learn more about your ad choices.

I've spent a lot of this AI series talking about business, workflows, automation, offers, and all the ways AI can help you work smarter. But over the last few weeks, I've noticed something else happening.AI has quietly started becoming part of how I actually live.Not in some futuristic robot assistant kind of way. More in these surprisingly practical, everyday moments where it's helping me make better decisions, reduce friction, stay more intentional, and honestly just feel more supported in the way I run my life.And the more I've experimented with it, the more I've realized this: most people are still thinking about AI as a work tool. Something you open when you need help writing content or brainstorming ideas.But the real shift happens when you start using it as a life operating system.That's what this episode is about.I'm sharing three very personal ways I've been using AI recently: how we used it to navigate our move to Bali, how it became my HYROX training partner and race strategist, and how I built my own macro tracker to finally understand what my body actually needs in this season of life.And weirdly? None of these examples are really about technology.They're about reducing friction, creating better systems, and becoming more intentional about how you live.Because I genuinely think the people who get the most out of AI won't just use it to work faster.They'll use it to live better.What You'll Learn:How I built my own macro tracker with Claude Code using my actual DEXA scan results and why it's the only tracking method that has ever stuck for meHow I used AI as my training partner, analyst and race strategist for HYROX and shaved 26 minutes off my solo race timeThe Bali life operating system Josh built in a GitHub repo and why it's one of the most genuinely useful things we've ever done as a familyWhy AI compounding is real and what it looks like when you apply it to your life, not just your workWhy none of this required technical skills, just clarity about what I wanted and the willingness to ask Hosted on Acast.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we wrapped up our weekly theme, “Best of 1 Peter.” Dr. Richard Blackaby joined us to explain how experiencing God begins with hearing His Word, responding in obedience, and building daily habits that lead to spiritual maturity. Dr. Blackaby is the President of Blackaby Ministries International and author of “Experiencing God in Everyday Life: A Journey Toward Spiritual Maturity.” We then had Dr. Andy Bannister join us to explain how believers can be prepared to share the hope of Christ with gentleness and respect, while listening well to those who believe differently. Dr. Bannister is the Director of Solas and the author of several books, including “How to Talk About Jesus Without Looking Like An Idiot.” We then opened up the phone lines to hear from our listeners. We posed the question, "Who did God use to help walk you into freedom in Christ?”You can hear the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.

This week, we’re honored to welcome back a dear friend of the show—the iconic artist, singer, and GRAMMY winner Amy Grant. Amy joins us to share her heart about her first album of original material in thirteen years, the deeply personal project titled “The Me That Remains.” In this moving interview, Amy opens up about the profound life events that inspired her new music—navigating the tender journey of aging and caring for her parents at the end of their lives, her ongoing recovery from a serious bike accident, and the enduring joy of creating music that she feels grateful to share with the world. Later in the episode, we’ll hear from Andrew Osenga, a Nashville-based musician, writer, and podcaster. Andrew spent years trapped in the tension between his private doubts and the crushing expectation of performing as a Christian artist. Growing up, image was everything, and he struggled under the pressure to appear “put-together”—even when he felt broken inside. It took devastating loss—including his home flooding, displacing his family, and his wife’s grueling cancer journey—for him to finally break free from performance-driven faith.

He wants us to be the people He created. He doesn’t love a fake image of me. He loves me.” - Andrew Osenga “There have been a number of experiences in my life that have helped redirect me towards a more quiet and grounded way of being with God, moving from performance towards presence.” - Andrew Osenga “The wonderful thing is Jesus doesn’t meet us in our perfection, He meets us in our suffering. Jesus is introduced to us in the Bible as a man of sorrows. And so, it’s not that we have to stay there all the time, knowing that is a part of our story. Being able to be honest about that allows us this freedom to be people of joy rather than having to sort of put on a happy face.” - Andrew Osenga “We can say that we can hold suffering and joy in both hands at the same time, and I think those are the people that we’re drawn to. And that’s when we can start to speak with an authentic voice. That takes time to learn how to do that, and that takes, honestly, walking through seasons of both suffering and joy to be able to learn how to do that.” - Andrew Osenga “We live in a culture that prizes things like novelty, speed, and constant reinvention. I think these practices like lament, confession, shared prayer, and silence can be a form of resistance, pushing back against this speed, the hectic life, against the doom scroll.” - Andrew Osenga ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

Send us Fan MailMost people picture emotional avoidance as someone who shuts down, refuses to talk, or is clearly in denial. But after 30 years of working with clients, Anna knows that's not usually how it shows up. The people she sits across from are often smart, self-aware, and totally capable of talking about their lives. They can explain their patterns in detail. They just can't actually feel them.Join Anna and Tim as they get into what emotional avoidance really looks like in everyday life, and why it's so easy to miss. Chronic busyness, overthinking, saying "I'm fine," going straight to irritation instead of the hurt underneath it. These don't look like avoidance; they look like personality. And that's exactly what makes this so hard to catch in yourself.This Episode Covers:Why emotional avoidance is a nervous system strategy, not a character flaw.The difference between being able to explain your feelings and actually feeling them.How chronic busyness and constant noise function as avoidance of stillness.Why anger and irritation are easier to access than what's actually underneath.Numbing behaviors that feel normal until they don't.What "I'm fine" is really doing and why it builds resentment over time.The real cost of avoidance when it starts running your life from underground.Until next time, here's to deeper connections and personal growth.Mad love!Book a Discovery Call for Coaching/Therapy: https://calendly.com/badassconfidencecoach/coachingThe podcast is now on YouTube!

Architecture is the ultimate influencer. Everyone is immersed in it everyday. Unfortunately, many environments we see as normal are not the kind of places where we should be hanging out. My guest Danish Kurani shares strategies to democratize good design. When people understand how design choices shape health, performance, and human connection, they recognize the true value of architecture. If architects want to design great spaces, we have to do a better job explaining to people why they matter. There is a Machine of Bad Design that has commoditized design for everyday life while isolating the work of architects consisting of media, retail, real estate and developers. Buildings should support our activities and enhance our life, not be something filled with hidden forces we have to overcome. We might have a problem of too much individual space and not enough community space. Real architecture solves real problems for real people.

Bible teacher Edna Blake talks about her years of discipling people organically:  a life-on-life walk with others where both sides grow, leading people to Jesus through His word, and how it applies to where they're at.  Daniel Darling, author of "Biblical Wisdom for Everyday Life," talks about how to apply Biblical principles to some of the many confusing issues of modern life that aren't directly mentioned in Bible, or are complicated by our modern contexts.   The Reconnect with Carmen and all Faith Radio are made possible by your support.

Russian language has a rich vocabulary for describing life under tyranny. Like the plain-clothed ICE officers snatching people off the streets? In Russian, they would be called "siloviki." Former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's requirement that she personally approve of contracts over $100,000? That's a phenomenon that Russians would call "manual control." Government workers being required to perform a military parade for the president's birthday? They would be called "budget people" in Russian. Brooke speaks with Maria Kuznetsova and Dan Storyev, the authors of the upcoming book How to Survive Authoritarianism: A Russian Phrasebook for Everyday Life in America, about how Russian words and phrases can help Americans understand what's happening in their country today.

He explores practical habits that help create purpose and encourage personal growth. He also offers practical insights to help you live with greater intention and consistency.

It's about how I am living a cruciform life so that Your kingdom comes and Your will will be done.” —Ann Voskamp  “The shape and form of my days and my life, my thinking and my mind, needs to be shaped and formed like a cross—where everything comes down from above (vertical beam) and with that, living with a heart of gratitude that goes back up to God. Then, I strive to live giving out to the world (horizontal beam).” —Ann Voskamp  Verses:  Exodus 14 Zephaniah 3:17  Related Episodes:  GHH Ep 72 – Connecting Faith and Real Life with Daniel Ryan Day: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/connecting-faith-and-real-life/ GHH Ep 115 – Unhurried Transformation with Gem Fadling: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/unhurried-transformation/ GHH Ep 120 – Let's Talk About Spiritual Formation with Shalini Bennett: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/lets-talk-about-spiritual-formation/  Links:  God Hears Her website: https://go.odb.org/sfmc-ghh  Subscribe to the God Hears Her YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM Ann Voskamp's Website: https://annvoskamp.com/ TENDing Through 1 Peter: https://www.amazon.com/Peter-Sustained-Living-5-Week-Study/dp/1640704795/ Waymaker: https://annvoskamp.com/waymaker/

Becoming Like Jesus in Everyday Life

This week, we’ll hear from Caroline Beidler, a speaker and recovery advocate who began using alcohol at just eleven years old to numb the pain of a deep sense of loneliness and not belonging. This led to years of addiction, but even after getting sober, Caroline found she was still wrestling with shame, unhealthy patterns, and wounds that hadn’t healed. Jonathan Tepper is a founder, author, and strategic thinker whose journey began as the son of missionaries in regions of deep cultural and economic contrast. From his upbringing in Spain by missionaries who sought to help those addicted to heroin, all the way to Taiwan and the high-stakes world of global finance, he has found himself on a search for truth and fairness.

Lewis Interview Quotes: “I had no name for who God was, but at the same time, I just remember knowing that He was there. I just feel like from even an early age, I was seeking that relationship, and I was seeking a connection with God.” - Caroline Beidler “It wasn’t until I started walking in longer-term recovery that I saw how me showing up as a sober, healthy, growing person impacted people in my life, in my family, who struggled with substance use—just my presence showed people there’s another way to live.” - Caroline Beidler “Recovery is a deep experience that we can go through, of not just physical healing and emotional healing, but spiritual healing and formation.” - Caroline Beidler “When our loved ones have hope for us, have hope that we will heal and find addiction recovery, we are more likely to. That is a powerful statement, and that is a powerful way that I think God reveals [that] hope isn’t just some feeling.” - Caroline Beidler “We know from the research and our own experience that the number one way to help people struggling with addiction is to connect them with people with a similar life experience.” - Caroline Beidler “Those two pieces—hope and belonging, hope and connection—are so important when we’re talking about how people can heal from addiction, not just themselves as individuals, but as families.” - Caroline Beidler Addiction kind of breeds and increases and gets stronger and more destructive in isolation. When we can shine some light on what’s going on, that’s where God can come in and that healing can happen.” - Caroline Beidler “The best thing that families can do when their loved one is struggling is lead with love and lead with compassion.” - Caroline Beidler “Addiction is a crisis of loneliness, and the way to address it isn’t just through treatment. It’s making sure our loved ones are connected in community.” - Caroline Beidler “One thing I’ve taken away is that you can be a miserable, greedy person and poor or you can be a miserable, greedy person and rich.” - Jonathan Tepper “You have to decide every day whether you want to be loving and compassionate. And it doesn’t really matter where you are to do that, as long as you’re doing your best with what you have.” - Jonathan Tepper “I don’t think heroism is one single great act of courage. I think it’s showing up day to day and trying to show love and compassion to others.” - Jonathan Tepper “My parents never planned on starting an international drug rehab center, they set out to show love and compassion to one addict at a time. And I think that taking one step at a time is a way that you can change the world, even if you don’t set out to do it.” - Jonathan Tepper ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

Don Blackwell is a trial attorney in Miami, Florida. He is and, for the past 20 years, has been an outspoken advocate on mental health issues within and outside the legal profession, which has made him a sought after speaker, and a regular contributor on webinars and podcasts tackling this increasingly critical subject matter.Don has written and spoken extensively on the need for a heightened degree of civility among lawyers, which he has dubbed “Compassionate Professionalism,” and, more generally, on the need for greater understanding, vulnerability, and empathy in our day-to-day interactions with one another.Don's daughter, Ashley, courageously fought and won a decade long battle with anorexia, a battle that inspired Don to become a tireless advocate and spokesperson in the eating disorder community. In 2020, Don organized the Legacy of Hope Summit with two dozen of the leading eating disorder experts in the world.A year later that Summit resulted in the publication of the first consensus-based Report and Recommendations on eating disorders in the half-century marked by Karen Carpenter's death in 1982 – a report that garnered the endorsement of more than 120 eating disorder practitioners and persons with lived experience across the country.Don also is the author of “Dear Ashley ...” - A Father's Reflections and Letters to His Daughter on Life, Love and Hope (2013), and, more recently, of Retune Your Heart – Finding the ‘”Extra” in the Ordinariness of Everyday Life, and its companion journal, The Playbook of Your Childhood Heart (2025).LinkedIn subscribers likely also know Don for his #MondayMusings and #ToDoListFridays.Don.Blackwell@bowmanandbrooke.com www.retuneyourheart.comwww.donblackwell.wordpress.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/don-blackwell-bb6361b/ on LinkedIn@retuneyourheart on InstagramRecorded at ROC Vox Recording & Production Studios, Rochester, NY  rocvox.com

AI video has officially gone off the hook, off the chain, and possibly off the planet. In Episode 808 of The Bad Crypto Podcast, Joel Comm and Travis Wright are back in their original human form to explore just how crazy AI video creation has become. Travis shows off the latest evolution of his long-running Cornytopia project, including consistent AI-generated characters, animated scenes, and the kind of visual storytelling that used to require a full studio, a production crew, and a painful budget. The guys also break down how Travis created a cinematic AI video for Multibank.io, including how he used tools like Google Flow, ChatGPT image generation, character reference sheets, storyboard prompting, and AI video models to build something in days that an agency said would take weeks. Also in this episode: Joel shares the latest on his upcoming book, AI Made Simple: Artificial Intelligence for Everyday Life, coming December 1, 2026 from Morgan James Publishing. The mission is simple: help everyday people, especially those who feel intimidated by AI, gain the confidence to actually use it. Pre-order the book at:https://AIMadeSimpleBook.com And because this is still The Bad Crypto Podcast, Joel and Travis also check in on Bitcoin, Ethereum, the crypto markets, and the ongoing weirdness of where all this may be headed. This one is highly visual, so yes, you really may want to watch instead of just listen. http://youtube.com/badcryptopodcast Subscribe, like, comment, and stay bad.Support the show: https://badcryptopodcast.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After some time away from the studio, Eric Pennington and Jeff East share personal stories that reignite their appreciation for the small and large wonders around us.Inspired by Andrew Huberman's thoughts on awe and the importance of focusing both on the minute and the vast, the hosts discuss practices that foster a deeper connection to the world.Jeff East shares the profound experience of holding his great-grandson for the first time, reflecting on the miracle of new life and the possibilities ahead. He juxtaposes this with memories of the Apollo missions and how, as a child, he gazed up at the moon knowing people stood there. These moments evoke an enduring sense of wonder that can easily be lost amid the speed and demands of modern life.The discussion delves into how our constant drive for quick answers and efficiency—exacerbated by digital culture and endless negative news—can dull our sense of awe. Eric Pennington and Jeff East challenge listeners to intentionally carve out moments for wonder, emphasizing that doing so can add richness and positivity, even amidst challenging times.Key Themes and TakeawaysThe Practice of WonderSmall to Large Perspective: Just as you might zoom in on a single leaf and then out to the entire tree, shifting your perspective can foster awe.Intentional Pausing: Carving out time to notice beauty or creativity changes your mindset and helps counter negativity in daily life.Integrating Wonder Into Routine: You don't need to give up your responsibilities; small daily moments of appreciation are enough to nourish your spirit.Breaking Through CynicismJadedness Defined: Feeling exhausted, cynical, or indifferent is often a product of overexposure or routine. The antidote is noticing and celebrating what stands out.Practice & Curiosity: Building new neural pathways for wonder requires consistency. At first, your brain may resist, but over time, finding joy and awe becomes more natural.Stories of Personal WonderNature and Creativity: Both hosts reflect on the marvels of spring, the unnoticed beauty of well-known places like Dawes Arboretum, and the creativity in music, highlighting Rush's Neil Peart as an example of seeing beyond the ordinary.Unexpected Adventure: A spontaneous trip, a quiet moment overlooking a river, or simply enjoying a quirky thrift shop—examples of how adventure and wonder are available to anyone willing to look.Navigating Life's ChallengesBeyond Control: Even in times of uncertainty or global unrest, focusing on what you can control—your awareness and appreciation—gives you agency.Time as Currency: Be mindful of how you spend your time. Even a small percentage shifted toward wonder can create meaningful change in your outlook.Practical Tips for Rekindling WonderCheck Your Attitude: Are you feeling “meh” or indifferent? Notice when this happens and gently direct attention elsewhere.Pause & Reflect: Take brief pauses to admire something beautiful, creative, or extraordinary in your immediate environment.Be Curious: Ask yourself, “What did I notice today that wasn't ‘meh'?” Even one moment counts.Persist Through Resistance: Understand that new habits take time. Your brain's initial resistance is normal.Share the Experience: Discuss moments of wonder with friends or family to reinforce positive neural pathways.Remember Your Agency: No one is too busy to notice something awe-inspiring, even in the smallest way.What sparks a sense of wonder in you?How do you intentionally integrate awe into your daily life?Have you ever brushed past something “ordinary,” only to discover it was extraordinary when you finally paid attention?In each episode, Jeff and Eric will talk about what emotional intelligence, or understanding your emotions, can do for you in your daily and work life.

We tell conversion stories. We tell deconversion stories. But where are the stories of the long, complicated, and faithful middle? Author and Anglican priest Tish Harrison Warren joins Mark Labberton on her new book What Grows in Weary Lands: On Christian Resilience—a vision for faith that endures the long, often dry middle of life. Drawing on the Desert Mothers and Fathers, she names a quiet crisis many believers know but rarely speak: spiritual weariness, prayer that goes silent, and the cultural pull to blow up your life rather than stay in it. "Grit is an essential ingredient of grace, and resilience is indispensable if we are to become who we are made to be." In this episode with Mark Labberton, Warren reflects on her own burnout as a writer, mother, and priest, and what the ancient monks taught her about how to keep going. Together they discuss revivalism's distortions, stability of the heart, the church in exile, patience as resistance to consumerism, communal hope, and what it means to stay in your cell. Episode Highlights "What our culture and what the church tends to lack are stories of a long, steady continuation in faith." "Grit is an essential ingredient of grace, and resilience is indispensable if we are to become who we are made to be." "We meet God in the midst of that, not on the other side of that." "If the moral majority was kind of dressing Jesus up and putting him in a red tie, it didn't seem like a solution to just, for then, to me, put Jesus in a blue tie." "Our primary exile isn't a political state, it's that we're in sin." About Tish Harrison Warren Tish Harrison Warren is a writer and Anglican priest in Austin, Texas, and the author of Liturgy of the Ordinary: Sacred Practices in Everyday Life (Christianity Today's 2018 Book of the Year), Prayer in the Night: For Those Who Work, or Watch, or Weep (Christianity Today's 2022 Book of the Year and the 2022 ECPA Christian Book of the Year), and her newest, What Grows in Weary Lands: On Christian Resilience. She formerly wrote a weekly newsletter for the New York Times and was a columnist for Christianity Today. She serves as the C.S. Lewis Theological Writer-in-Residence for the Anglican Episcopal House of Studies at Baylor's George W.

Episode SummaryIn this episode, Morgan sits down with former military operator, behavioral expert, and communication specialist Chase Hughes to break down the hidden psychology behind influence, persuasion, and human behavior.Chase shares how elite interrogation and behavioral techniques can be applied to sales, leadership, negotiation, relationships, and everyday communication. From identity framing and covert influence to metaphors, elicitation, and detecting deception, this episode dives deep into how people make decisions often without realizing it.The conversation explores why resonance matters more than persuasion, how to guide people toward their own conclusions, and the neuroscience behind trust, communication, and compliance. Chase also explains how these same principles are used in military intelligence, legal trials, and high-level sales environments.This episode is a masterclass in influence, communication, and understanding human nature.Episode Timestamps0:00 Intro & The Psychology of Influence 0:51 Meet Chase Hughes 2:06 Taking Control of Conversations 4:06 Resonance vs Persuasion 6:08 Identity & Human Behavior 9:09 The Power of Identity Framing 12:10 Metaphors & Influence 15:08 Overcoming Fear & Rejection 17:57 Dreamfest 18:51 The Neuroscience of Communication 21:31 Plato, Persuasion & Human Nature 24:11 Influence in Sales & Trials 28:21 Selling Through Human Psychology 31:02 Why Scripts Don't Work 32:39 Elicitation & Getting People to Open Up 37:55 Detecting Lies & Behavioral Changes 43:18 The Confession Formula Explained 46:22 Using Influence in Everyday Life 47:14 Social Anxiety & Confidence 47:28 Dreamfest Reminder 48:42 NCI Sales & Human-Based Selling 50:16 Building Better Relationships Through Communication 51:13 Final Advice to His Younger Self About Chase HughesChase Hughes is a former military operator, behavioral profiling expert, and founder of Neuro-Cognitive Intelligence (NCI).After serving 20 years in the military, Chase transitioned into teaching advanced human behavior, influence, and interrogation techniques used by intelligence agencies, law enforcement, and high-level negotiators around the world.Today, he trains professionals in communication, sales, behavioral analysis, and leadership through the lens of neuroscience and psychology.

Stevens new course: Finding Peace in Everyday Life (you choose how much to pay)Support Stevens work and links to other podcasts: stevenwebb.ukDonate paypal.me/stevenwebb or Buy Steven a coffeeA gentle, lying-down practice for the moment before the day begins.Most of us meet our body for the first time each day in those first few minutes after waking, before we move. The shoulders that ache. The back that protests. The first stretch that tells us what kind of day we're going to negotiate with.This is a meditation for that moment. It's permissive, soft, and meant to be done lying down, before you get up. We move slowly through the body and ask one simple question of each part: what do you need today? You may not get a clear answer. The practice is the asking, not the answer.Suitable for anyone navigating a changing body, chronic pain, the ordinary aches of getting older, or simply a tired morning.

A class given at Berkeley Zen Center on Thursday, May 14th 2026 by Linda Galijan.

What if the Jesus you know has been shaped more by culture than by Scripture? All too often, we create a customized Jesus to fit our preferences instead of following the true Jesus revealed in God's Word. And without even realizing it, He becomes the Lord of our comfort and convenience instead of the Lord of our lives. So today, pastor and bestselling author Kyle Idleman will give us a clear understanding of who Jesus is as Messiah and King! He'll unpack how our view of Jesus can quietly drift, how to recognize when we've turned Him into a life coach instead of a King, and what it looks like to follow Him for who He truly is.

This week, we’re talking with astronaut Butch Wilmore who has spent 465 days off-planet, giving him a literally out-of-this-world perspective on God’s creation. From fighter jet pilot to Space Shuttle commander, Wilmore’s career was a testament to preparation and discipline. However, his faith was truly tested when a spacecraft Wilmore was manning began losing thrusters—and he was just a prayer away from spiraling toward potential disaster. Next up, we speak with Brooke Envick, a veteran dean in higher education, who recounts how achieving every professional milestone left her feeling empty. She discusses combining lessons from neuroscience with practices like gratitude and prayer, revealing how a sudden, debilitating health crisis forced her into a necessary stillness that ultimately paved the way for profound, lasting internal change.

Understanding and knowing that the atmosphere protects the planet and enables us to have the air to breathe that we need, and all of that, and it’s all supplied by our Lord and Savior, our God, the Creator of all things, that is a special thing to view from that vantage point.” - Butch Wilmore “In all types of strenuous situations that we come through in life—to where realizing the Lord’s in control, He is sovereign, working providentially for His Glory and our ultimate good, if we believe. And that is the mainstay of who I am, what I understand, what I know God’s Word to say. And again, even in those moments, it brings intense comfort and intense hope. There’s always, always, eternal hope, regardless of what takes place.” - Butch Wilmore “You’ve got to be completely committed, all in, and that commitment breeds the preparation that is required for whatever the tasks are that you’re undertaking, because the responsibility is great, sometimes greater in certain areas than others.” - Butch Wilmore “I have to come at whatever the task is with a complete mindset of being prepared, disciplined in that preparation, because that’s what it takes—and in those extremist situations, maintaining the focus that’s required to do the task, whatever that might be.” - Butch Wilmore “Anything that we have, everything that we are capable of doing, everything that we are tasked with doing, He’s given us the ability, and to Him be the glory.” - Butch Wilmore “Life is tough, and in every situation, everything in life, you have to want whatever it is that’s going forward. You have to want it, you’ve got to be committed, you’ve got to prepare, because the responsibility is great that God requires of us, in all aspects of our lives.” - Butch Wilmore “God was still shaping me in that moment and it taught me that real change doesn’t always come from moving faster or starting over. Sometimes it actually happens from stopping and listening and allowing God to align your inner life before sending you forward again.” - Brooke Envick “I found that scripture gave me a lot of insight into broader wisdom and lessons from the Bible, prayer gave me a connection and ongoing conversation with God, and meditation brought alignment to my life. It helped me slow down and focus my thoughts and become more intentional about how I was responding to life, instead of simply reacting to it.” - Brooke Envick “What we return to consistently is what begins to shape our thought patterns, emotional responses, and also our sense of peace. So when we connect with God daily, we reinforce those neural pathways associated with calm, trust, and meaning. Devotionals like Jesus Calling help us create space for that daily attunement and moments when we need to pause and listen and realign our thoughts with truth and with trust. What I’ve seen in my own life is that daily connection doesn’t remove challenges, but it changes how we move through them.” - Brooke Envick “Faith isn’t meant to be passive. God gives us direction, purpose, and trust, but He expects us to use the tools He gives us to make progress.” - Brooke Envick “Faith shapes the why, which is our meaning, our purpose, and our trust in God, and neuroscience reveals the how.” - Brooke Envick ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

While the podcast team is taking a Radical Sabbatical, Kim is interviewing authors of the books that have had a big impact on her in the past two years.  In this episode, she's speaking with Luke Burgis about his new book, The One and the Ninety-Nine, Forging Identity in the Age of Social Contagion.  Through stories ranging from the parable of the lost sheep to August Landmesser, the only person in a huge crowd to refuse to salute to Hitler, Luke describes the missing skill that makes real community possible: learning how to remain oneself while staying connected to others. He offers practical, tactical advice for how to recognize false belonging, escape coercive dynamics, and pass through the rites of passage that produce people with integrity and courage. This is a book that will help you figure out what YOU want, so that you can go get it rather than being distracted by what others want. Guest Background: Luke Burgis is the director of The Cluny Institute and a professor at The Catholic University of America, where he studies the invisible forces that shape human behavior. He is the author of Wanting: The Power of Mimetic Desire in Everyday Life. He lives in Washington, D.C., and Michigan with his wife, Claire, and their children.

Have you ever wondered why the Christian life can feel so exhausting sometimes? In this episode, I’m sharing a personal story that completely changed how I understood the Holy Spirit and the way He works in our lives. We’ll talk about who the Holy Spirit is, what He actually does, and how He helps us live the Christian life—not by trying harder, but by walking more closely with God. If you’ve ever felt frustrated by your own lack of patience, peace, or joy, this conversation will encourage you deeply. My prayer is that you walk away feeling comforted, equipped, and reminded that you were never meant to do this life alone.

What happens when the question “Am I enough?” follows you into every part of your life? For mental health therapist Trey Tucker, that question isn’t just theoretical—it’s something he’s seen affect the lives of countless men and one he’s wrestled with himself. Then, writer and mother Kit Willis Rutherford invites us into a quiet, sacred moment from her own life. As her grandmother faced her final days, a tiny cross appeared in the screen of a bedroom window—unchanged through storms and still visible decades later. What began as a mystery became a lasting symbol of comfort for her family.

It’s the word that haunts him, and you can fill in the blank with whatever word you want before that.” - Trey Tucker “So being enough or being not enough is the thing that haunts the guys the most. It can drive you to make some really amazingly terrible decisions, but it can also be deceptively helpful in driving you to some great successes.” - Trey Tucker “Looking back at all the experiences that I’ve had, I finally got it into my body or my heart that God is going to come through. And since He’s going to come through, that means I’m going to be okay….I think it’s helped me to purposely put myself in uncomfortable situations—in situations that scare me—because I just know the more I do that, the more I’m going to really feel and experience God coming through for me, and then I can help other people do the same thing in their own walk as well.“ - Trey Tucker “[My grandmother] was always such a pillar of the community for people that were in need, quietly meeting needs without ever being prompted to do so.” - Kit Willis Rutherford “Just because we are filled with faith or we are filled with joy or any other wonderful attribute, we’re not immune from the world. The bad things in the world sort of creep in.” - Kit Willis Rutherford “The veil between heaven and earth is so thin and we really can, from time to time, glimpse little bits of heaven-sent love and heaven-sent information.” - Kit Willis Rutherford “I feel like hardship has shaped my faith and been truly the balm against the agony of such a broken world where there is so much sickness and so much grief and so much hardship.” - Kit Willis Rutherford ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!
