Why do so many capable, intelligent people keep saying yes when they mean no? In this episode, Dr. Bray explores the quiet pattern of self-compromise that slowly erodes confidence and self-respect. This is not about being weak in an obvious way. It is about the subtle moments where we trade alignment for approval in work, relationships, dating, and everyday interactions. Dr. Bray breaks down why our brains are wired to prioritize belonging, how chronic self-abandonment damages internal strength, and the practical steps to build what he calls internal authority. You will learn how to pause under pressure, tolerate discomfort, set clear boundaries, and stop betraying yourself in small moments. This episode will challenge you in the best way and give you a path toward becoming steady, aligned, and powerful without becoming harsh.   Quotes by Dr. Bray "When you say yes but mean no, you think no one will notice—but the most important person notices: you." "Every time you compromise who you are to avoid discomfort, you teach your nervous system that your authenticity is dangerous." "If you do not define your standards in calm moments, you will abandon them in intense ones." "Feeling uncomfortable when you stop compromising does not mean you are wrong. It means your nervous system is adjusting."  

This week, we’re joined by beloved television host, actress, songwriter, and author Kathie Lee Gifford. Kathie Lee shares her deeply personal faith journey, emphasizing that she is not a “churchy person” but a “relationship person.” She advocates for understanding the Scriptures deeply, going beyond surface-level readings, and ultimately seeking to bring Jews and Christians together in the love story of God. Later in the episode, we’ll hear from Dr. Julia Garcia, also known as Dr. J., who joins us to dismantle the myth that hope is an elusive personality trait. Drawing from years of clinical practice and her own raw, lived experience—including overcoming addiction, failed businesses, and seasons of deep uncertainty—Dr. J offers a powerful, practical pathway back to hope, even when the darkness feels permanent.

Your heart was in the right place. You walked with Me and were faithful to the little things, faithful to proclaim Me.’” - Kathie Lee Gifford “I would never take a role that required anything that dishonored the Lord. The Lord gives us a conscience for a reason.” - Kathie Lee Gifford “I follow Him, and I’m going to use every opportunity that comes my way to proclaim Him, because people are hurting. People are broken. People are desperate. People are hungry, not just for food. They’re hungry for life itself. They’re hungry for the truth. The only thing that has been constant in my life that never changes is my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.” - Kathie Lee Gifford “Our life should be a prayer constantly.” - Kathie Lee Gifford “I think religion puts us in chains, and Jesus came to get us out of the chains. It’s all about relationship, not religion, and I think we’ve really lost touch with that in Western Christianity.” - Kathie Lee Gifford “I’ve always had to go back to different habits at different times to make sure that I don’t associate how I feel with who I am.” - Dr. Julia Garcia “Hope is not a personality trait. People can feel like they need to have a huge amount of hope. It just takes that mustard seed—a tiny, tiny, tiny, little piece of hope is enough to carry you through.” - Dr. Julia Garcia “Habits of hope are an emotional framework to help us with those perspective shifts so we can interrupt harmful thought patterns.” - Dr. Julia Garcia “We’re going to have to get a lot stronger in our ability to emotionally risk so that we can deepen our relationships, not just with other people, but in our faith and with ourselves.” - Dr. Julia Garcia “We can reshape our thought patterns by constantly interrupting them and building these little tiny practices of hope, these emotional practices.” - Dr. Julia Garcia “The more we learn language around identifying what support would look like or feel like, the more we can get in the emotional habit of receiving that support. But it starts with us identifying what it is, who it is, and what we need from those people—our support pillars—so that we can receive hope.” - Dr. Julia Garcia “Being honest has helped me heal because you can’t have hope without honesty.” - Dr. Julia Garcia “Keep coming back to that place that aligns you with God’s call on your life. Even if the external things around you don’t make sense and it feels chaotic inside, just keep coming back, keep aligning back to the voice that you know is real and true.” - Dr. Julia Garcia “If we can just take a moment to receive the truth that we are not alone, that we are enough, then that is a building place for us to help navigate out of that feeling of feeling stuck or overwhelmed. It’s to replace these feelings with truth, with identity statements, reminding us who we are. We are not alone and we are made perfect in His image.” - Dr. Julia Garcia ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

Over six decades and counting, the postmodern choreographer and dancer Lucinda Childs has built an exceptional, category-defining body of work grounded in a style that draws as much from “pedestrian,” everyday movements as it does from her foundational ballet training. Emerging out of the 1960s Judson Dance Theater in New York City, Childs founded her namesake company in 1973 and has created more than 50 works since. This year will see two major New York presentations of her pieces—the first, from March 14–15 at the Guggenheim, will restage five of her early dances, most of them silent; the second, titled “Momentary Reprise,” will be showcased at Bard College's Fisher Center from June 26–28 and include her collaborations with the likes of Frank Gehry, Philip Glass, and Robert Wilson. On this episode—our Season 13 opener—Childs reflects on her various experimental collaborations with Glass and Wilson; her profound perspectives on time through the lens of choreography and performance; and how she has remained unapologetically steadfast in refining her highly distinctive approach to dance. Special thanks to our Season 13 presenting partner, L'ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts.

The Sefer HaChinuch writes in Mitzvah תלג , that goodness and blessing come upon a person according to his deeds and thoughts, and our Creator, who wants our good, has taught us about the precious mitzvot through which we can merit the greatest blessings. As well, He taught us a way in which we could have all of our wants for the good, and that is by asking Him, the One who has the wherewithal and ability to provide us with everything we could possibly need.He will answer anyone who calls out to Him with sincerity. The Chinuch continues, besides informing us of the precious gift of tefillah, He also commanded us to utilize it and ask from Him constantly for every single thing we need. If we do that, besides for getting what we want, we will also be ingraining in ourselves the emunah, that He is involved in every little detail of our lives and that nothing can stop Him from giving us everything we could want. That is the end of the quote of the Sefer HaChinuch. We know how precious tefillah is, but sometimes we forget to take advantage of it. A man told me he had two issues in his home that were bothering him for months. One was an electrical issue with something installed in his home, and one was a plumbing issue. For some reason, he was having an extremely hard time getting both of them resolved. The electrician kept telling him he was too busy to come, and when he tried calling different electricians, they would all say, the one who installed it has to be the one to fix it, as it was a special unit. As well, the plumber was unresponsive. This past Friday morning, as the man was making his regular requests in the Amidah, he thought to himself, he never once asked Hashem for help with those quote-unquote petty issues. He decided to pray to Hashem to get them fixed. After shul, he called the electrician, and this time he answered right away. The electrician gave him his ear, and when he was once again informed of the problem, the electrician told him he could guide him on the phone, step by step, what to do to fix the issue. When the man got home, the electrician guided him, and sure enough, the problem was finally fixed. Right after that, he called the plumber, and this time, the plumber answered and finally agreed to come. Two days later, and Baruch Hashem, he came and fixed the issue. There is nothing that is too small to pray for. Sometimes, we just forget to utilize the awesome gift of tefillah that Hashem has given us. I once read a story about a man who was rushing out of his house for an important meeting. As he went to his car, he suddenly realized he didn't have his car keys with him, so he ran back to the house to get them, but couldn't find them anywhere. He began to panic because the meeting was very important, and he was already running late. He started searching faster and faster, opening drawers, moving around papers, and then he stopped for a minute and said to himself, Hashem knows exactly where my keys are. Why don't I make a tefillah and ask Him for help? He then closed his eyes and asked Hashem to please show him where the keys were so he could make the meeting on time. Less than a minute later, he found the keys lying under a magazine in the kitchen. Tefillah is always great, and we must never forget to utilize it at all times.

What does it really mean to advance the Kingdom of God? In this message from Matthew 16, Pastor Woody challenges us to stop seeing life only from a human perspective and begin seeing it from a spiritual one. Jesus calls His followers to deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow Him. That means surrendering our plans, our pride, and sometimes even our comfort so that God's Kingdom can move forward through our lives. In this sermon you'll discover: • Why your values determine the direction of your life • The difference between advancing your kingdom and advancing God's Kingdom • The spiritual authority Jesus has given believers • Why seeing life from only a human perspective is dangerous • What you may need to give up to follow Jesus fully If we want to see lives transformed, disciples made, and the gospel spread, it begins with surrender. The question is simple: What is God asking you to give up so His Kingdom can advance through you?

In today's episode, two authors tackle everyday experience through short-form writing. First, The Irish Goodbye is a collection of micro-memoirs by the poet Beth Ann Fennelly. In these recollections, she considers childhood, marriage, and old friends – and she told NPR's Scott Simon about the immense difficulty she had writing about her sister's death. Then, Anne Fadiman joins Simon to discuss Frog: and Other Essays, in which she takes on topics like a printer, an unpettable pet, M&Ms, and the rules of grammar.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayTo manage podcast ad preferences, review the links below:See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

This episode is all about one of my favorite tools lately: ChatGPT. I know many women, especially in midlife, feel hesitant about AI. But, I've found it to be an incredibly helpful tool for everyday life! I use AI for everything from improving recipes and planning meals to creating travel packing lists. It even helped me redesign my laundry room! It's become a simple way to save time and stay organized. In this episode, I'm sharing the practical ways I use ChatGPT each week and how it can make your daily life a little easier, too.   LINKS & RESOURCES MENTIONED: Banana Nut Bread Recipe   WHERE TO LISTEN The SavvyCast is available on all podcasting platforms and YouTube.

This week, I'm digging into the tricky world of decision-making, and I want to know—how do you decide if you've made the “right” choice? Whether you're choosing where to live, what glasses to buy, or reflecting on the monumental choices faced by the Mormon pioneers crossing the plains, these moments shape our lives in profound ways. Join me as I wrestle with how we balance faith, stewardship, and personal revelation when the future is always unpredictable.In this episode, we talk about the power (and the trap!) of second-guessing ourselves and explore why you actually can't ever know for sure what “might have been.” From personal stories about careers and optometrist visits, to powerful gospel examples like Adam and Eve, I'll share why I believe that the best way forward is to simply decide your decision was the right one—and then learn all you can from it.If you've ever wondered if you took the right fork in the road, I invite you to listen in and see why sometimes, it's not about choosing perfectly—it's about moving forward with purpose, embracing your choices, and trusting that sweet gospel goodness is always ahead. If there's a chocolate cake question (or decision!) you want discussed, send it my way.Please share this episode with someone who needs to hear it.

*This episode mentions suicide and may be triggering for some listeners. This week, we’ll hear from Ed Newton, pastor of Community Bible Church in San Antonio, Texas. Growing up as a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults), Ed bridged the hearing and deaf worlds for his parents, fostering immense empathy but also hardship. Later, following his parents’ deaths, he faced a tidal wave of despair and suicidal thoughts. He sought professional help and openly shared his struggle with his church, who responded with grace. Now, Ed advocates for the church to be a hospital for the broken, urging people to seek help and recognize it’s okay not to be okay, but not to stay that way. Later in the episode, we’ll hear from Wendell Vinson and Todd Lamphere from CityServe, an organization that helps equip and empower churches to serve their communities. They discuss CityServe’s mission to equip local churches and to meet the last mile of need in their communities. They highlight the church’s role in community transformation, citing reduced recidivism rates, and its essential “ministry of presence” before, during, and after crises like natural disasters or war. Finally, they acknowledge compassion fatigue, emphasizing that faithful service requires spiritual replenishment in order to continue to serve others well.

It’s just not okay to stay that way. God can break every chain.” - Ed Newton “I believe some of the healthiest people I have ever met sit on somebody’s couch. I actually think the red flag of danger is for somebody that says, ‘I’m good. I don’t need counseling.’ I would say watch out for that slippery slope of destruction that’s about to happen.” - Ed Newton “I just think for most people, life gets shaken up and they don’t know what to do with that. Don’t live life all bound up when you can find somebody that would love you, sit with you, and go, ‘Hey, let me tell you what I hear and see. You’re not alone.’” - Ed Newton “Sometimes churches get it wrong and we slap Bible verses on a chemical disruption in the body. And I want to say, ‘I’m sorry you got hit with a Bible verse when you just needed someone to sit in the puddle of your tears.’” - Ed Newton “We’re constantly hearing and listening and feeling, but when we do not align our heart to what God says, who is the ultimate voice, then it just conflicts with the directional, navigational component of our life.” - Ed Newton “There’s a God who never changes, who operates out of the character of sovereignty and goodness, and who’s always working for your greater good. So why not begin a day with Him, and let Him frame the filter of how you’re to see the world?” - Ed Newton “It’s a beautiful partnership that allows pastors and churches that have a desire to meet the practical, physical needs of the community it was called to serve, and to have an organization come alongside it to help make that happen. This is the beauty of the partnership between the local church and CityServe.” - Todd Lamphere “When a person connects with the body of Christ and starts moving down a different path, it transforms community.” - Wendell Vinson “What people need in times of disaster more than anything, is they need the ministry of presence.” - Todd Lamphere “Compassion is scalable. You start where you are with what you have, and God will take you further.” - Wendell Vinson “Compassion fatigue is just a reality. You cannot give out what you do not have in you. This is why being saturated in God’s Word every day is so vitally important. It’s a non-negotiable to stay in God’s Word to commune with Him, to listen to worship music, to pray for God to just continue to be your strength, to be your source, to be your all in all.” - Todd Lamphere “If any of us think that we can in our own strength or power just live out what the Lord’s called us to, we’re mistaken. It all flows out of that personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.” - Wendell Vinson ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

We talk about future adventures as if they're guaranteed.But if our capability isn't, we need to start thinking about that today. In this mini episode, I unpack some everyday movements that can determine whether we stay capable of adventure, and why they need to be rehearsed long before the trip is booked.What does a ‘travel body' really require?Which abilities can fade in modern life?And how do you build them naturally, without living in the gym?And as ever, because it's a mini, I get you moving in one of those ways.If you care about staying able, not just staying active, this episode will get you thinking about what you're building now… and what it's building you for.To find out more about today's guest and for the full show notes, visit:⁠The Make Movement Matter Podcast⁠If you enjoy this podcast, please press Follow and Rate and Review.  To support the show and help me to keep making the podcast, please contribute by ⁠Buying Me a Coffee...or Tea! Connect with your host, Wendy, founder of Reclaim Movement, on:⁠Instagram⁠ | ⁠YouTube⁠ | ⁠Website⁠Sign up for my free weekly newsletter, ‘Everyday Moves' -  https://www.reclaimmovement.co.uk/newsletter/

As of 2026, the UK space industry is a significant and strategic driver of the national economy, contributing over £19 billion in revenue and supporting tens of thousands of high-skilled jobs. Satellite-based services and data underpin roughly 18% of UK GDP, equivalent to approximately £454 billion of the wider economy. And the sector is growing exponentially.But this is just the tip of the iceberg. For the space industry to fully realise its potential it needs more of the right people to understand what's happening and get involved. People like policy makers, investors, regulators, planners, communicators, lawyers and consultants.Dr Alice Bunn, the president of UK Space, and her panel of guests, Sam Alden co-CEO of Space Solar, Nick Shave managing director of Astroscale and Anushka Sharma founder of Naaut, discuss the surprising, awe inspiring business of space and make the compelling case for why more companies and investors should get involved. Contributors:Host:Alice Bunn, President of UKspace Dr Alice Bunn OBE FIMechE FRAeS CEng | LinkedInUKspace: Overview | LinkedInGuests:Nick Shave, Managing Director of AstroscaleNick Shave FRAeS | LinkedInAstroscale: Overview | LinkedInSam Adlen, CEO of Space SolarSam Adlen | LinkedInSpace Solar: Overview | LinkedInAnushka Sharma, founder of NaautAnushka Sharma | LinkedInNaaut: About | LinkedInKey topics covered:Impact of Space on Everyday LifePractical ApplicationsEnvironmental MonitoringGlobal SecuritySustainability and Innovation in OrbitSpace DebrisManufacturing in MicrogravitySpace-Based Solar PowerEconomic and Regulatory LandscapeCost ReductionInvestment and FinanceRegulation and PolicyThe Future of Space ExplorationNew PlatformsAcademic Contribution Hosted on Acast.

What does it mean to remember the soul in a world shaped by transaction, performance, and speed?In this episode of the Sacred Changemakers Podcast, I'm joined by Haider Rathor, host of The Temple of Remembrance and a guide of the unseen whose work centers on presence, relationship, and soul remembrance.This was a high-frequency, deeply human conversation. Together, we explore grief and joy, pain and love, ancestry and future generations, and what it means to live beyond performance and transaction. Haider speaks to remembering rather than striving, to living from the heart in a world shaped by the head, and to reclaiming the sacred as a lived human quality rather than a religious idea. We reflect on the loss of relationship in modern life, the impact of hyper-individualism, and the invitation to return to more relational, heart-led ways of being in leadership, community, and everyday life.This is a conversation to listen to slowly. One that doesn't offer answers so much as it opens space for remembering.About Haider Rathor:Haider Rathor is the host of The Temple of Remembrance podcast. Through presence, inquiry, and deep conversation, he creates spaces for soul remembrance and reconnection with the sacred intelligence of the heart, body, and soul.Learn More About Today's GuestHaider's website ****→ https://soulful-awakening.com/About the HostJayne Warrilow is the founder of Sacred Changemakers, a global community and learning space exploring the intersection of human resonance, regenerative change, and conscious leadership.Learn more at sacredchangemakers.com

Welcome to the Social-Engineer Podcast: The Doctor Is In Series – where we discuss understandings and developments in the field of psychology.  In today's episode, Chris and Dr. Abbie discuss decision fatigue—how making too many choices throughout the day drains mental energy and affects judgment. They explain how stress and lack of sleep make it worse, how it differs from burnout, and why leaders and parents are especially vulnerable. The episode also shares simple, practical strategies to reduce daily decisions, protect mental energy, and prioritize recovery.  [Mar 2, 2026]  00:00 - Intro  00:56 - Show Updates and Sponsors  02:35 - What Decision Fatigue Is  03:34 - Stress, Sleep, and Mental Energy  05:12 - Mental vs. Physical Limits  07:13 - Decision Fatigue vs. Burnout  10:22 - Leadership, Empathy, and Hard Decisions  14:33 - Prevention: Routines and Breaks  20:43 - Advisors and AI Caution  24:38 - Everyday Life and Parenting Load  27:23 - Recovery Outlets and Wrap-Up  28:49 - Closing and Next Month's Topic (Diet Culture)    Find us online:    LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dr-abbie-maroño-phd    Instagram: @DoctorAbbieofficial    LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/christopherhadnagy    References:   Baumeister, R.

There is a value to shared knowledge that tends to go unrecognized because it's so ubiquitous. Nonetheless, experimental psychologist Steven Pinker explains in this Social Science Bites podcast, common knowledge underlies things like paper money, governance, and even coral reefs. And common knowledge, he makes clear to host David Edmonds, "does not have its ordinary sense of conventional wisdom or an open secret or something that everyone knows, but rather something that everyone knows that everyone knows, and everyone knows that, and everyone knows that, and so on, ad infinitum." Possing that shared knowledge – and the knowledge that others share that knowledge – creates the conditions for coordination, and thus action beyond what an individual could achieve. That's the reason, he says, "that autocrats fear common knowledge of the regime's shortcomings is that no regime has the firepower to intimidate every last citizen." Pinker, the Johnstone Professor of Psychology at Harvard University, details his understanding of the virtues and vices of common knowledge in his most recent book, When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows...: Common Knowledge and the Mysteries of Money, Power, and Everyday Life. The book, his 13th, continues his streak as one of the most publicly recognized of public intellectuals, including recognition as one of Foreign Policy's "World's Top 100 Public Intellectuals" and Time's "100 Most Influential People in the World Today." He is also only the second (so far) returning guest to Social Science Bites, having addressed violence and human nature in a 2012 podcast.

When Gwen Trice dug into her family history, she learned that her father had come to Oregon from Arkansas in a boxcar to live and work in the logging town of Maxville.    Maxville was once one of the largest towns in the county. It had a post office, hotel, roundhouse and many homes. Nine decades later, a broken down railroad trestle and one building are the only remaining evidence of this company town. The Missouri-based Bowman-Hicks Lumber Company created it in 1923 to house loggers and their families. The company recruited experienced loggers, including immigrants, Native Americans, and Black men from southern states. This was at a time when Oregon’s constitution explicitly banned Black people from the state. Housing and schools were segregated in Maxville, but the workforce was integrated. Even after the town essentially closed down in 1933, some Black families, like Gwen’s, remained in Oregon.   You can watch the Oregon Experience documentary focused on Gwen Trice called “The Logger’s Daughter” here and find recent coverage of the archeology dig at Maxville here.   And there’s a new multimedia exhibit called “Maxville & Vanport: Hidden Histories of Everyday Life” at the Patricia Reser Center for the Arts on the Oregon State University campus in Corvallis February 27 through April 11, 2026.    Don’t forget to check out our many podcasts, which can be found on any of your favorite podcast apps: Hush Timber Wars Season 2: Salmon Wars Politics Now Think Out Loud And many more!

Q&R Night | How To Follow Jesus In Everyday Life | Jake Richardson, Jon Reitinger, Clay Babcock, Riley Babcock, Meghan Newhouse

I can't tell you how many posts I've seen on Substack lately from people saying they're done with Instagram. Clearly, a lot of us are exhausted by the noise—rage bait, endless stimulation, videos that leave us feeling worse instead of better, and the pressure to keep posting just to stay visible. As I shared in previous episodes, I stepped away from my own IG era about six months ago, which facilitated a giant shift in how I live my life. That's why I love hearing other leaders in the personal growth space talk about this same topic. Because the truth is, there is a major cultural shift at play right now. In today's episode, I share something I've been pondering—how the massive pivot I experienced in my own life, as it relates to entrepreneurship and living authentically, mirrors what's happening in the world around us. In this episode, I share: A recent conversation with Lacy Phillips and Jessica Gill about this cultural shift that really spoke to me and brought clarity to what's happening right now How the social media fatigue we're noticing might actually signal the end of performance culture The identity changes I experienced after stepping back from my business, and how the shedding I've done helped reconnect me with who I really am A peek into my current weekday rhythm as a mom, writer, and creative—including my go-to hot cocoa recipe for cozy morning writing sessions. If this episode resonates with you, you'll probably enjoy my Substack as well. That's where I share deeper reflections, personal essays, and my new series Field Notes.

John has released at least fifteen albums, more than half of these under the name King Missile, but even this name covers three different bands, since John until recently didn't play any instruments, so his music is always collaborative with one or more music writers. Apart from his various musical projects, he's published around 50 books of poetry and publishes poems every day on his Facebook page. We discuss "Her Cock is True" from the yet-to-be-released King Missile album Quest for Fire, "Eating People" from The Psychopathology of Everyday Life (2003), and "Sensitive Artist" from Fluting on the Hump (1987).

This week, we’re joined by author and speaker John O’Leary. John shares the story of a joyful Midwestern childhood that was forever changed at age nine by a devastating house fire that doctors said he would not survive. Through the unwavering love of his parents, the kindness of unexpected heroes, and a hard-fought choice to live, John’s life became a testimony to hope rising from unimaginable pain. Later in the episode, we’ll hear from finance executive and advisor Athanase Kadita Tshibaka, known as A.T., who was born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. A.T. shares a journey shaped by poverty, displacement, and profound loss, and the faith that sustained him through imprisonment, injustice, and life-threatening trials.

None of them wear capes. They just look like ordinary friends who faithfully live out the message of Jesus in life.” - John O’Leary “I think when we get burned in life, whatever that looks like for all of us, we can become bitter about it and wonder where God is in our mess. Or you can recognize that God is all over this mess with you and that you can reveal that goodness and that grace and that mercy to others through your life.” - John O’Leary “I think when you go through a [difficult] event, at any age, it’s easy to really quickly decide whether I will be a victim or a victor to this. Even if you feel like you have no talent, your life is a precious, priceless gift. You have one job, to say yes to being used for good.” - John O’Leary “Your life, in spite of what you’ve been through or done, can be used in mighty ways.” - John O’Leary “Even though we were essentially living in poverty… [my mother] had to struggle, she had to really work hard. But even with her very meager means, my mom showed me the value of hospitality and the value of generosity. There was never an instant where some strangers came and she let them just go hungry. Above it all, God’s grace.” - Athanase Kadita Tshibaka “When I decided to accept Christ as Lord and Savior, I had nobody pushing me, I had nobody influencing me except that very still voice, very gentle, saying that was my day of decision.” - Athanse Kadita Tshibaka “Like most people, I am a cracked pot, a leaking vessel, and I need to be refilled by His Holy Spirit daily. Reading the Bible and being attentive to the promptings of the Holy Spirit helps keep us growing.” - Athanase Kadita Tshibaka ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

Today I am joined by Meg Hale! Meg is the founder and designer of Tutto, a brand built on the idea of creating fewer, better pieces that work hard in everyday life. Meg attended the College of Charleston and studied apparel design in Florence, Italy, where she developed a strong foundation in quality craftsmanship and timeless design. She also completed fashion internships at Neiman Marcus and Yves Saint Laurent. After college, Meg spent several years working in sales and events, gaining firsthand experience in brand building, client relationships, and operational execution. After returning to Charleston and becoming a mother, she identified a clear gap in her own wardrobe: a high-quality, washable cotton piece that could move effortlessly through a full day—from school drop-off to the beach, and dinner—without sacrificing style and comfort. Approaching the problem as both a designer and an entrepreneur, Meg has focused on perfecting the essential pieces of a woman's wardrobe. With a love of stripes and a commitment to quality and versatility, Tutto was born. Meaning “everything” in Italian, Tutto reflects Meg's belief in intentional growth and designing products that truly earn their place in a woman's closet. In this episode, Meg and I talk about why she started Tutto, the first steps to starting Tutto, the inspiration behind her clothing designs, the importance of having a hero product, and so much more! Meg's WebsiteMeg's Instagram MUSC

Mindfulness is everywhere now, which is kind of weird. What started as a countercultural practice has become a productivity hack and a billion-dollar app ecosystem. On one level, it's great that more people are meditating. But somewhere along the way, the whole thing got flattened. When mindfulness is mainly about optimizing your output, we've probably missed the point. Today's guest is Jon Kabat-Zinn, pioneer of the American mindfulness movement and author of the mega-bestseller Wherever You Go, There You Are. Jon's work helped bring meditation into medicine, schools, sports, and everyday life. He's also spent decades reminding people that mindfulness isn't about escape, self-improvement, or becoming some perfectly serene version of yourself. Sean and Jon talk about what mindfulness actually is, why being present is so damn hard, and what happens when industry turns meditation into another tool for self-optimization. This episode originally aired in December of 2023. Host: Sean Illing (@SeanIlling) Guest: Jon Kabat-Zinn, author of Wherever You Go, There You Are: Mindfulness Meditation in Everyday Life.

Two things that bother me, is when people ask what my dream job is, and what is my "why."  Just don't ask, because I am not playing that game with you. If you can't figure that out, then you may have a bigger problem than me. I will rebel against this question, by eating pineapple on pizza, and patiently waiting for the revolution. It's time for something big in this world, and I may be just too tired to care about it. 

I want to extend a sincere thank you to Lieutenant Commander Kegan “SMURF” Gill, U.S. Navy (Ret.), former F/A-18 Super Hornet pilot, for making this connection possible with Justin SheehanKegan's commitment to helping high-performance professionals is phenomenal, and he continues to bring important voices and real-world experience to a wider audience. Kegan — I appreciate the trust and the bridge you built here.Justin Sheehan is a former SEAL Team Six operator, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructor, and coach whose experience spans elite special operations, traumatic brain injury recovery, and high-performance training. His career placed him in environments where discipline, adaptability, and resilience were not concepts — they were survival requirements. Today, he applies those lessons to coaching athletes, civilians, and professionals seeking durability in both body and mind.Justin's perspective is shaped by hard realities. He speaks openly about the hidden toll of traumatic brain injuries — not only from combat, but from repeated concussive exposure through training, firearms use, and contact sports. The cumulative damage is often misdiagnosed, manifesting as depression, hormonal disruption, sleep issues, and cognitive decline. His message is direct: the small hits add up, and awareness, assessment, and recovery must be taken seriously.Discipline, in Justin's view, is not rigidity — it is maintenance. In military life, accountability is built in; in civilian life, it must be intentional. Sleep, nutrition, hydration, and consistent movement form the foundation of recovery and longevity. Alcohol, poor sleep, and inactivity erode performance faster than age ever will. Movement is medicine. Intensity — scaled to reality — preserves capability.He draws clear parallels between special operations and athletics: both involve trauma, recovery, stress adaptation, and mental resilience. Training must reflect reality. Live sparring, pressure testing, and scenario-based training build the mindset and competence required when stakes are real. Sport fighting has rules; self-defense does not. The goal is survival and creating the opportunity to escape.As a coach, Justin emphasizes humility, specialization, and continuous learning. Elite teams rely on experts; effective coaching requires knowing your limits and building networks of competence. He also stresses the importance of empowering others — especially women — with practical self-defense skills and the confidence to act under pressure.At its core, Justin Sheehan's message is about resilience built through discipline, awareness, and purposeful training. Protect the brain. Maintain the body. Train for reality. Stay adaptable. Capability is not preserved by accident — it is maintained through consistent, deliberate effort.

[38:54] AI is everywhere — from the tools we use to write emails to the algorithms shaping our news feeds. When it comes to personal health, however, the conversation often swings between two extremes: blind trust or outright fear. In this episode of Toastcaster, I speak with Dr. Earl Campazzi, Jr., a medical practitioner with more than 35 years of clinical experience and the author of the new book:  Better Health with AI: Your Roadmap to Results. Dr. Campazzi works at the intersection of medicine and modern technology, helping people better understand how AI, wearables, and digital tools can support health decisions — without replacing doctors or requiring technical expertise. Rather than focusing on hype, this conversation looks at what AI is already doing well in healthcare, where its limits are, and how it can be used thoughtfully as part of everyday life. In this episode, Dr. Campazzi shares insights on: - how AI is already being used in healthcare beyond chatbots, often quietly behind the scenes - what data from wearables can reveal — and what it can't — when viewed over time - real-world examples where everyday technology helped surface important health signals - why “flipping the script” leads to better questions and more productive conversations with doctors - practical ways non-tech-savvy people can begin using AI safely and effectively - why AI should support — not replace — professional medical judgment Dr. Campazzi explains that one of the biggest misunderstandings about AI in healthcare is treating it as a single tool. In reality, AI appears in many forms — from diagnostics and imaging to administrative support — often helping clinicians detect patterns earlier and spend more time with patients. For individuals, those same strengths can help organize and interpret data from tools like smartwatches and fitness trackers. The key, he notes, isn't collecting more data — it's understanding what the data means in context. A central idea from Better Health with AI is what Dr. Campazzi calls “flipping the script.” Instead of asking narrow or overly technical questions, he encourages starting with goals and context — then letting AI help surface the right questions to ask next. This approach doesn't just improve AI results; it also leads to better conversations with healthcare providers and more effective use of limited appointment time. Throughout the conversation, Dr. Campazzi emphasizes balance and common sense. He discusses privacy concerns in plain language, encourages healthy skepticism, and reinforces the idea that AI works best as a support tool — more like a research assistant than an authority. Used wisely, it can help organize information, surface patterns, and prompt better questions, while professional medical judgment remains central. For listeners who don't consider themselves tech-savvy, his advice is refreshingly straightforward: start small, focus on organizing what you already know, and bring those insights into conversations with your doctor. Sometimes the simplest steps — even keeping a printed list of medications and supplements — can make a meaningful difference. Dr. Campazzi's book, Better Health with AI: Your Roadmap to Results, is available in paperback, hardcover, eBook, and audiobook formats. You can find it on Amazon or at BetterHealthWithAI.com. Dr. Earl Campazzi is a medical practitioner with more than 35 years of clinical experience and the founder of Island Medical Care in Florida. He is the author of Better Health with AI: Your Roadmap to Results, which explores how artificial intelligence, wearables, and modern technology can support better health decisions while keeping human judgment and common-sense front and centre.

This week, we’re thrilled to be celebrating our 500th podcast episode with actor Sarah Drew, known for her roles in Grey’s Anatomy and Everwood. Sarah shares how her faith shaped her career from a pastor’s kid who found joy in acting to eventually navigating the pressures of Hollywood. She discusses the rewarding challenge of developing her Grey’s Anatomy character, April Kepner, into an honest portrayal of a person of faith, including the storyline of April’s crisis of faith and her eventual return. Later in the episode, we’ll hear from actor Janine Turner. Janine recounts her own tumultuous path to Hollywood, characterized by countless rejections and setbacks.

You get to experience a far more human life when you see someone on a series for a long period of time.” - Sarah Drew “If I don’t have the thing that rooted me and anchored me to the whole purpose of my life, if that somehow comes undone and is shaking under my feet, then what am I doing here? How do you keep breathing when you are so shaken to your core?” - Sarah Drew “So many people are suffering, so when they welcome a character [into their life], day after day, week after week, year after year, and really become kind of friends with this person who’s walked this path, they’re feeling through it with them.” - Sarah Drew “In every job I walk on to, I want the folks that I’m working with, the cast, crew, and everyone to really feel a sense of belonging and that they deserve to be there and that they are part of this community and we’re so happy that they’re here and we’re all in this together. I think that’s one of the biggest ways that I live out my faith.” - Sarah Drew “If God closes the door, He opens the window. There will be a window. There will be the right thing at the right time.” - Janine Turner “I didn’t give up before the miracle because eighty percent of success is just showing up.” - Janine Turner “[Northern Exposure] became the most miraculous opportunity for me that I think also used my talents in such a way that were dignified, respected, and it had an impact that made people’s lives happier. Don’t let anybody put out your flame that God has given you or me, and don’t give up before that miracle.” - Janine Turner “I’ve hit this kind of, literally, sort of a wall of blackness where I’m desperate or I’m in a panic attack or I’m crying hysterically. I don’t see the light, I don’t see the hope, but there’s always been something that has kept me from going over that cliff. I believe it is my faith and it’s God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit. If I just stick with it, tomorrow will be a better day.” - Janine Turner ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

What if projects weren't just part of work but how work gets done in your organization? In this episode, Kevin is joined by Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez to discuss the project economy and why treating projects as "side work" is no longer an option for leaders. Antonio challenges traditional hierarchies and operational mindsets, making the case that today's value creation, innovation, and transformation happen primarily through projects. He also explains why mindset matters more than tools and why project leaders must think like entrepreneurs who own outcomes, fight for value, and bring problems into the open rather than hide them. Kevin and Antonio explore the critical skills leaders need to move from managing tasks to leading change, including building real teams, understanding the business impact of projects, and having the courage to challenge senior leaders when priorities are unclear. Antonio's Story: Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez is the author of five books, including the Harvard Business Review Project Management Handbook and his latest book, Powered by Projects: Leading Your Organization in the Transformation Age. He is a world-leading expert in project management, strategy execution, and organizational transformation. He is the creator of the "project economy" concept, which advocates that organizations shift from traditional hierarchical structures to fully project-driven ones—where change, innovation, and strategy come to life through projects. Antonio was selected as one of the top 50 most influential management thinkers in the world by Thinkers50 in both 2023 and 2025. He previously served as chairman of the Project Management Institute and is a visiting professor at top business schools, including Duke CE, IE Business School, and Skolkovo.

What happens when our homes get smarter than ever… while we also crave going totally unplugged? In this episode of I AM HOME, the team explores a major shift shaping home life in 2026: design and lifestyle trends are moving in two very different directions at once. "Bells & Whistles" trends are making homes smarter with AI health tools, pet wearables, beauty gadgets and elevated kitchen upgrades, while "Less Bells & Whistles" is pushing back with fewer screens, more hands-on comfort and retro tech like turntables and CD players. The takeaway? The future of home isn't all high-tech or all unplugged – it's intentional, blending innovation with calm to create spaces that truly support everyday life. Resources: nfm.com/podcast

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 coffeeThis meditation is for anyone who experiences intrusive thoughts, rumination, anxious loops, or repetitive mental chatter. It is especially helpful if you tend to get caught in arguing with thoughts, trying to suppress them, or worrying about what they mean. You will practice relaxing the body, letting the breath be natural, noticing thoughts as they arise, and choosing not to engage with them. If you notice you have already been pulled into a thought, you will practice returning gently without judging yourself. The intention is not to eliminate thoughts but to reduce their emotional grip by changing your response.

*This episode contains content that may be triggering for some listeners.* This week, we hear from Stephen McWhirter, a songwriter and worship leader whose early life was marked by deep trauma, addiction, and a shattered view of God shaped by his father’s hypocrisy and abuse. After years of rebellion and anger toward faith, Steven encountered Jesus in an unexpected moment that transformed everything. Today, he shares a powerful story of grace, redemption, and the hard-won freedom found on the other side of forgiveness. Later in the episode, we’ll hear from author and speaker Courtney Pray Duke, who opens up about the tragic loss of her husband. Courtney shares what it was like to navigate grief while raising three children alone, and how it encouraged her to draw closer to God as a source of comfort when everything felt like it was falling apart.

I literally had this deep anger and this wound in me that really was connected to my earthly father and a broken view of who God is.” - Stephen McWhirter “I’m in this room and I have drugs on the side table next to me. I always say it’s the kindness of a very real God to meet a wounded evangelist son in a place like this. I knew God was in the room, and I’m like, ‘I want to give you my life. I want to quit all this addiction, all this darkness, all this anger, all this depression, and this trauma that I’ve known for so long.’” - Stephen McWhirter “Jesus never healed anyone [from addiction] the same way twice, because every story has a purpose. If it takes you five times or eleven times to fall at the feet of Jesus and you mean it, He’s going to use your story to draw people to Him.” - Stephen McWhirter “There is something truly powerful on the other side of forgiveness. It’s not about reciprocation. Somebody may not say to you, ‘I’m asking for your forgiveness,’ but you have the ability to tear up the debt and throw it away. That’s real freedom, that’s real restoration.” - Stephen McWhirter “Those early days of grief were so messy and they were so uncharted. And to be honest, I didn’t even know what grief really meant until I was in the place where I was grieving with everything inside of me.” - Courtney Pray Duke “The Lord was so faithful to meet me in every moment, and I could lay my head on my pillow at night and look over the day and I could see where He was when I would open up the Word of God. It was like His promises and His love were illuminating off the page and they were bringing sustenance to my life.” - Courtney Pray Duke “It wasn’t until I lost everything that my faith grew legs. It was walking through fiery times and profound loss where Jesus met me with strength and love and power and life.” - Courtney Pray Duke “Holding the grief of my kids’ hearts and mine was impossible for me to bear. I learned so much during that time about releasing my children.” - Courtney Pray Duke “It’s just so beautiful when you see a nugget of truth that comes from the Word of God—something that you can remind yourself of what’s true, even when your circumstances look anything like what it is that you’re contending for, to know that this is what’s true. Truth is immovable. It’s not going to change shape and waver like my life does. Truth is truth.” - Courtney Pray Duke “God can do anything through a life surrendered to Him.” - Courtney Pray Duke ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

In this powerful and hope-filled episode, I sit down with author and speaker Becky Keife to discuss something many women quietly carry every day: anxiety. Becky shares from personal experience how anxiety, while painful, became the very thing God used to draw her closer to Him and deepen her faith. Together, we explore the difference between shame and honesty, the importance of community, and practical rhythms that help calm the body and steady the soul. From breath prayers to simple peace practices, this conversation offers both spiritual encouragement and real-life tools for anyone feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or emotionally weary. Becky also introduces her devotional A Verse a Day for the Anxious Soul, a 100-day guide designed to help readers inhale truth, exhale trust, and experience God’s peace in everyday life. Whether you struggle with clinical anxiety, seasonal stress, or simply need a reset for your heart because life often feels overloaded, this episode is a gentle reminder that you are not alone, you are not disqualified, and God meets you with compassion right where you are. I’m also giving away a copy of Becky’s book A Verse a Day for the Anxious Soul.To enter: Rate the podcast (five stars if you feel it deserves it

*This episode mentions suicide and may be triggering for some listeners. This week, in celebration of Super Bowl Sunday, we’ll hear from Tim Green, a former NFL player, bestselling author, and commentator. Tim, who now speaks with the assistance of technology due to a diagnosis of ALS, reflects on a life marked by ambition, the identity-shaking diagnosis of this neurodegenerative disease, and the perspective that transformed his understanding of what matters most in life. Later in the episode, we’ll hear from Mike Flynt, whose story inspired the 2023 sports drama film The Senior. One day when talking with his friends, Mike shared one of his deepest regrets—getting kicked off the college football team as a senior. When asked, “Why don’t you do something about it?” Mike decided to pursue a second chance, and became the oldest linebacker of a college football team in NCAA history at age fifty-nine, proving that it’s never too late to chase your dreams.

My life’s work now is about family, about helping others, and about using whatever time and gifts God has given me to make a difference.” - Tim Green “God had other plans—plans that were bigger than anything I could have imagined. Looking back, every step prepared me for the next one. He was weaving the story long before I knew it.”- Tim Green “What really matters is your faith, family, and identity in Christ—not in a jersey or a job. Football gave me a platform, but it’s faith and family that gave me a purpose.” - Tim Green “My diagnosis forced me to confront what really matters—to put Christ at the center, not tucked quietly in the background. It made every day, every relationship, every breath more precious and more purposeful.” - Tim Green “One morning, I woke up with a clarity I didn’t create that this wasn’t the end of my story. I realized that God had left me here for a reason. Maybe to show that even in suffering, His goodness can still shine. That moment was a second chance, and I wasn’t going to waste it.” - Tim Green “Prayer became less about asking and more about resting. Peace came in small moments—a hand held, a smile, a sunset—reminders that God was still here.” - Tim Green “Every chapter of my life has required a deeper anchor than achievement. When the applause stops, when the career ends, when the body fails, you need a foundation that won’t.” - Tim Green “It was my profession of faith in Christ, and my realization that I know so little about Him, that started me on my journey in faith that I still pursue today.” - Mike Flynt “So many people need to know that somebody else has overcome and that Christ was there and they can take that same concern, those same weaknesses, to Him and know that if He did it for Mike, He’d do it for anybody.” - Mike Flynt ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!
