Do you remember your own middle school years? For most of us, it seemed brutal. Some things never change. Young peers can create, find, and point out all kinds of negative things in ways that are now sometimes defined as “bullying” or “harassment.” But if your home is place of refuge from that craziness, you will be instilling a healthy sense of resiliency that can sustain your kids through the pressure. One way to do this is to take the opposite approach of their peers. . . who are all too quick to point out and celebrate deficiencies. Look for and encourage your teen to develop their God-given gifts and abilities. Complement them on their successes. Point out their strengths. We need to be parents who are encouragers rather than discouragers. And, as we encourage our kids to develop their gifts, remind them of the importance of excellence. Exercising and developing one's gifts and abilities is ultimately an act of worship. See and celebrate the uniqueness God has placed in your kids.

Did you know God gave you authority? From the very beginning, mankind was created to reign, rule, and represent God on the earth. But through deception and sin, that authority was handed over to the enemy.

In today's devotional, Dr. Michael Youssef examines prophecy as Scripture application. If you want more insight into today's devotional topic, listen to Dr. Michael Youssef's sermon Who, Me? Gifted?, Part 8: LISTEN NOWAVAILABLE NOW FOR YOUR GIFT OF ANY AMOUNTOne out of every seven Christians around the globe suffers intense persecution. As hatred toward followers of Jesus increases, we will be forced to either take a stand for Christ or retreat into cowardice. We will be forced to either proclaim our love for Jesus or deny our Lord. That's why Dr. Michael Youssef has written his newest book God's Final Call. In this timely teaching from Revelation 2-3, Dr. Youssef leads you through important warnings and uplifting encouragements from Christ Himself delivered in His seven letters to the seven churches of Revelation—words just as relevant today as they were to the first century church. Jesus' letters teach His followers how to live victoriously in times of peril and hostile opposition, so may we heed them closely as the world grows darker and more evil. Request your copy today for your gift of any amount!*Offer valid in US, UK, and Canada through April 20, 2025.

Gugs Mhlungu speak to wellness expert, Fulufhelo Siphuma, about the importance of warm-ups in preparing your body for cold-weather exercise before going outside.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I've had days when my back felt about 20 years older than the rest of my body. Ever had that? Sciatica is what I think the doctor called it. I just called it "sorebacka." I'm grateful I haven't had a bout like that for several years, but I can tell you that when I wake up crooked, I feel like just staying in bed or in any comfortable position I can find. But I got some weird advice. Someone said, "Go for a walk when your back is hurting." Now, let me tell you this, walking is the last thing I feel like doing, but I decided to try it. I walked around our lake, and by the time I returned, the pain had basically gone away. I had to force myself to exercise, but it was exercise that actually made me feel better. Now there's a new scientific study that compared two groups of people with "sorebacka" (wait a minute, oh that's sciatica) - one that took it easy and one that exercised. The exercisers reported less pain and more mobility. Now, what you don't feel like doing when you're hurting is what will actually help you stop hurting! I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Healing Others, Healing You." Exercising to help the pain - that doesn't just work for a hurting back. It works for a hurting heart. This could be a stretch of your life that's particularly painful. You're hurting from a tragedy, a broken relationship, maybe financial struggles, or medical battles, some new wounds, or some old wounds. And just like me with an aching back, you're seeking some comfort. But just like me, you might find it, not by trying to get comfortable, but by going out and actually exercising spiritually. Here's the prescription. It's from our word for today from the Word of God in Proverbs 11:25. "A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed." So, God says something refreshing happens to your spirit when you reach out to refresh others. And that's the kind of exercise that helps a hurting heart - doing something for someone else who's in need. Is that what you feel like doing? No. When you're hurting, you feel like withdrawing from people, not connecting with them. You want to pretty much just focus on yourself. Our human nature says, "I'm hurting right now, so hey, it's all about me." But that's only going to intensify the pain or even prolong the pain. You can actually speed up your healing by doing what you don't feel like doing; getting involved with people when you feel like withdrawing from people, getting active when you feel like being inactive, charging into some ministry or helping role when you feel like retreating, looking for someone whose need you can meet instead of someone who can meet yours. The hurt you've been through will give you the sensitivity and the credentials to minister to other hurting people. What you've been through may cause you to pull back, and maybe now you're just nursing the pain. That's what I felt like doing with my aching back. But I had to put the hurting parts to work in order to get any relief. That may be exactly where you are right now. You're not going to break out of this downer until you get busy, in the Bible's words, "refreshing others." That's when you'll finally be refreshed. Jesus said, "Whoever hangs onto his life will lose it." It's the person who gives his life away that will find it. So force yourself to get out of your chair, out of your bed and look for some people who need you. As you exercise on their behalf, the healing of your own pain can finally begin.

What happens when your period disappears, and you're not pregnant or in menopause? Many women don't realize that a missing cycle is a critical health signal, not just an inconvenience. In this episode, Dr. Monica Minjeur unpacks Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (HA)—a condition where stress, intense exercise, and inadequate nutrition cause the brain to halt ovulation. You'll hear Maggie's journey of losing her period for two years, how she restored it naturally, and why fixing HA is essential for fertility, bone health, and overall well-being. If you've ever been told that losing your period is “normal” for active women, this episode is a must-listen!

Message by Pastor Mario Owens 

President Trump announced earlier in his second term that foreign students who engaged in illegal activity would be deported. Most people agreed with the policy. But then his Department of Homeland Security began showing up with masks on and in plainclothes to arrest and deport legal foreign students who broke no law but held views the Administration doesn't like. This is a slippery slope that will backfire on those who support it.

In this episode, Eric and Kevin Mahoney discuss:The benefits of thoroughly documenting service hoursEnsuring consistency in delivering value Exercising caution when benchmarking servicesEngaging in holistic retirement planningKey Takeaways:Thoroughly documenting the time and effort spent servicing each client is an important process for advisors who want to truly justify their fees, enhance client retention, and identify both high and low-value engagements.Establishing a fiduciary training program, detailed service plans, and accountability measures is essential to ensure advisors consistently deliver value commensurate with their fees.Benchmarking services and fees against industry standards is vital, but advisors must exercise caution in data input to avoid erroneous conclusions regarding fee competitiveness.Advisors should engage in holistic retirement planning, including employee education, to succeed in the industry, while committees must scrutinize advisors' processes and pricing to meet fiduciary obligations.“If all you're speaking to is investments. You're going to struggle. You need to talk to the plan holistically. You need to talk to employee education. And you have to be committed to the best interest of the participants. And if you do that, I think there's staggering upside potential.” - Kevin MahoneyConnect with Kevin Mahoney:Website: https://www.raymondjames.com/mahoneygroupadvisors/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevinmahoneytmg/ Connect with Eric Dyson: Website: https://90northllc.com/Phone: 940-248-4800Email: contact@90northllc.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/401kguy/ The information and content of this podcast is general in nature and is provided solely for educational and informational purposes.

You think you're smart by over exercising and trying to delay your weight gain. But believe me, your body is smarter. This actually happened to me and a lot of clients when we started our recovery. Less is more and that's the case when it comes down to exercising. Listen to this episode if you want to know how to heal your disruptive hormone balance during an eating disorder. If you are a person, of course that has the tendency to move a lot.In this episode, i'm not giving any advice around food and a hormone balance. Just around movement.

I know what it's like to feel trapped—in your body, your mind, and the patterns you don't know how to escape. For years, I chased extremes—bingeing, purging, over-exercising, partying—searching for control, validation, and worth. But what I didn't realize was that food, fitness, and discipline weren't the real problem. They were just symptoms of a deeper wound. This podcast is about breaking free—from self-sabotage, destructive habits, and the false beliefs that keep us small. Through raw storytelling, deep insights, and conversations that challenge everything you think you know, I'm here to help you heal at the root.

Most older adults feel that they may have some extra weight they'd like to lose. This is a common feeling but doesn't necessarily mean that you are unhealthy. However, regular exercise is one of the best ways to help lose weight and if you've never exercised before or have been away from it for an extended period of time, it can be challenging to embrace this habit. In This Episode You Will Learn: 1). Some of the common questions we receive from our subscribers and listeners regarding how to go about losing weight. 2). Some of the reasons why we don't want to exercise which can be both physical and mental limitations. 3). How low impact walking is a great exercise for those just starting out. 4). The benefits of water workouts and how using a pool to get regular exercise affects your joints, muscles and overall wellness. 5). Why it's important to embrace everyday movement as exercise like gardening, lawn work, carrying groceries, washing the car etc. /// We hope the tips we've shared in this episode are helpful to you or someone you know who is looking to get back into exercising (or start) when trying to lose weight. Losing weight is not easy, it takes dedication and commitment which can be a real challenge for some. Hopefully with some time and going at it in a slow and steady manner will yield the results you're looking for and get you on track to reach your weight loss goals.

This episode emphasized the importance of exercising your faith in order for it to work. Exercising faith involves actively demonstrating and deepening your beliefs in the Word of God. In order to exercise or strengthen your faith, as Christians we should study and reflect on the Word, pray often and live by the Word. There are so many other things we should be doing. In order to grow, we have to make reading God's Word a big part of our daily lives and actively doing it.

We all experience creative lulls occasionally, and sometimes, a good break is in order, so we spend a few days or weeks focusing on things other than art. Whatever the case may be, when you've not been engaged in art for a while, it takes a little bit to get back into the swing of things. It's like going on vacation and then coming back to work. Your mind is still in “vacation mode” even though a whole different set of tasks is now in front of you. This is something that anyone in a creative line of work experiences from time to time, and some of us experience it on a daily basis—that moment in the day where you're not at your most productive, and the art and creative ideas just don't flow as freely. That's why I think “warm up” exercises are a helpful tool in our arsenals. These are little things we can do to keep the creative gears turning so that when it's time to really think critically about artmaking, we don't find ourselves seizing up. So to that end, here are a few ideas for exercises that you can do. Some of these things are pre-shoot exercises, and other exercises are things you can use to get over a lull after you've had a longer break from photography...

Is your relationship with food or your body complicated? Do you struggle with body confidence and self-love? You might be surprised about how many aspects of life are impacted by your body image. Wondering if you can truly love your body? Spoiler alert: you can! In this Salad with a Side of Fries episode, Marla Mervis-Hartmann, a dynamic speaker, bestselling author, and coach specializing in body confidence, self-love, and intuitive eating joins the show. Together, Marla and Jenn dive deep into healing a challenged relationship with your body, breaking free from diet culture and disordered eating, and embracing true self-acceptance. Marla shares powerful insights on shifting away from food restriction and guilt, learning to trust your body, and fostering a sustainable, positive mindset around food and body image. The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, discussing wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. IN THIS EPISODE: [3:40] Marla reveals how she began her focus on healing her body image[10:07] How negative body image can show up in our lives[19:20] Listening to your body and befriending yourself[25:52] Choosing the road of self-compassion and acceptance[30:48] Reframing your perception of your body image KEY TAKEAWAYS: People believe reaching a certain weight or body shape will bring them happiness and confidence, but true healing comes from addressing deeper emotional and psychological factors, not just physical appearance. How we feel about our bodies can impact our relationships, work, self-worth, and ability to be present. It can lead to comparison, avoidance of opportunities, and even withholding joy from ourselves.Recognizing and challenging diet culture, societal pressures, and past traumas is crucial for improving body image. Developing self-compassion, addressing underlying emotional wounds, and reframing our relationship with food and our bodies are key steps to healing.Finding a balanced, self-compassionate approach to body acceptance and eating is essential. Instead of rigid dieting allow for self-acceptance, mindful choices, and kindness toward oneself—much like a best friend offering support.QUOTES:         [6:10] “I needed deep help with this. So that's what took me on this journey of recovery, of healing my relationship with my body and my food.” Marla Mervis-Hartmann[9:44] “We can be so mean to ourselves, the things that we say in our head compared to what we would never say out loud to someone else, but we say them to ourselves.” Jenn Trepeck[25:09] “If you're hearing this right now, that moment when something shows up and maybe it's not even around your food and your body, perhaps it's about something completely different, that you just have this seed of wisdom that says, ‘Let's be kind to me here'.” Marla Mervis-Hartmann[29:21] “I would try to walk beside someone in a window to see our reflection, because I was like ‘She's thin, am I as thin as her?', and then I would compare myself.” Marla Mervis-Hartmann[32:48] “And now, what can I do for myself? Even if we ask it instead of what we would say to a friend, and now ‘what can I do for you?' say, ‘what can I do for me?' I love that question.” Jenn Trepeck[36:26] “We're having this conversation and we say ‘their body is okay for them, but their body would not be OK for me'. That disconnect, then, ask the following question: ‘Why is it okay for them and not for you? What's the other thing they have that makes it alright that I don't have that makes it not OK?'” Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramGUEST RESOURCES: Love Your Body Love Yourself - BookBreaking the Cycle - Free GiftLove Your Body Love Yourself - WebsiteTEDx Talk: The Secret Ingredient to Feeling Good in Your BodyBe-Friend Yourself - BookMarla Mervis-Hartmann- InstagramLove Your Body Love Yourself - FacebookMarla Mervis-Hartmann - YouTubeGUEST BIOGRAPHY: Marla Mervis-Hartmann is a dynamic speaker, bestselling author, and coach specializing in body confidence, food freedom, and self-love.

Shawn Whitman is the Vice President of Membership and Guest Experience at Zoo Atlanta. With a background in exercise physiology, Shawn's career journey took him from the fitness industry to the world of zoos and aquariums, where he now oversees membership, admissions, rides, guest experience, and more. His role is crucial in ensuring that Zoo Atlanta provides an engaging and educational experience while fostering strong connections with guests and members. In this interview, Shawn talks about saying yes to everything, exercising guest experience muscles, and looking through the lens of the guest. Saying Yes to Everything "When I was newer in my career, I was just so eager to learn anything and everything that I could." Shawn attributes much of his career growth to his willingness to say yes to new opportunities. From his early days at the YMCA, where he took on multiple roles, to his expansion of responsibilities at Zoo Atlanta, Shawn's mindset of embracing new challenges has led to tremendous professional development. He believes that saying yes opens doors to learning, collaboration, and career advancement. Even when opportunities pushed him outside his comfort zone, his openness to new experiences helped him build expertise across various departments. This philosophy has also shaped his approach to leadership, where he encourages his team to be adaptable and open to growth. Exercising Guest Experience Muscles "Just like with exercise, you have to be consistent in your approach to guest experience, continually refining and improving." Drawing from his background in exercise physiology, Shawn makes a compelling connection between fitness and guest experience. Just as muscles need to be trained consistently to stay strong, organizations must continuously refine their guest experience strategies. At Zoo Atlanta, guest feedback is reviewed regularly to identify opportunities for improvement. Shawn emphasizes the importance of tracking patterns in visitor feedback, much like tracking fitness progress, and adjusting strategies accordingly. Whether it's enhancing signage, improving wayfinding, or refining service training, his approach ensures that the guest experience remains dynamic and evolving. Looking Through the Lens of the Guest "I visit the zoo in incognito mode to see it exactly as a guest does." Shawn makes a habit of walking through Zoo Atlanta as an ordinary visitor, removing his name tag and observing interactions firsthand. This approach allows him to see potential pain points in the guest journey and make necessary adjustments. Whether it's noticing which areas guests tend to overlook, observing how they navigate the park, or hearing their feedback in an unfiltered way, this strategy provides invaluable insights. He also emphasizes the importance of knowing when to engage with guests and when to step back, ensuring that their experience is both immersive and uninterrupted. Shawn encourages his team to adopt this mindset, ensuring that every decision made prioritizes the visitor's perspective. By aligning guest experience improvements with the zoo's mission, his team fosters stronger connections between visitors and conservation efforts.   Shawn can be reached on LinkedIn.
