In this episode, we reflect on a rare missed recording and share a series of listener stories that raise broader questions about compassion, responsibility, and civic duty. We examine claims surrounding illegal orders in the military and the role of oaths and institutional accountability before turning to the “foolishness of the week,” including the internet's ability to amplify extremism and reward outrage. We then shift to why Americans consistently believe the economy is doing worse than the data suggests, exploring consumer sentiment, inflation, wages, housing costs, and the lingering psychological effects of pandemic-era stimulus. We close by discussing housing as both shelter and investment, the realities of rent and mortgage affordability, student loan debt, rising expectations, and why economic anxiety persists even in periods of growth. 00:00 Introduction and Overview 00:31 Missing an Episode for the First Time 02:28 Listener Gift and Firefighter Calendar Story 03:52 A Belated Christmas Story of Compassion 07:13 Mark Kelly, Illegal Orders, and Military Oaths 12:40 Foolishness of the Week: Nazi Dating Sites 15:08 The “Village Idiot” Theory and the Internet 18:07 Why Americans Think the Economy Is Terrible 22:08 Consumer Sentiment vs. Economic Data 24:37 Inflation, Wages, and Why It Still Feels Worse 29:27 COVID Stimulus Effects and Income Perception 33:30 Housing Costs, Rent, and Homeownership Myths 37:10 Mortgage Rates, Rent Increases, and Risk 41:04 Housing as Shelter vs. Housing as Investment 45:29 Why People Still Can't Afford Homes 48:33 Social Media, Expectations, and Lifestyle Inflation 51:02 Student Loan Debt and the Real Affordability Crisis 55:14 College Costs, Tradeoffs, and Financial Reality 57:44 Expectations, Advertising, and Economic Anxiety 01:00:40 Why Consumer Sentiment May Never Fully Recover Learn more about your ad choices.

Drawing from her work in nutrition, geriatrics, and muscle-centric medicine, Lyon breaks down how strength training, protein intake, and daily movement protect metabolic health, resilience, and mental clarity as we age.

Episode #1081 A lot of guys are stuck in the same loop. You work hard, you provide, and you think you're doing everything right. But deep down, there's frustration. Maybe she's pulling away. Maybe you're walking on eggshells. Or maybe you're just not getting the connection, intimacy, or appreciation you thought you would. This episode is about why that happens and how expectations are often the silent killer behind it. Doug and coach Neil break down the difference between expectations and agreements, and why unspoken expectations build resentment fast. They walk through real examples of how everyday assumptions in marriage who takes out the trash, how often you should have sex, what love is supposed to look like lead to disconnection when they're not talked about. If you've ever thought, "I'm doing my part, why isn't she doing hers?" this conversation is for you. You'll learn how to recognize covert contracts you've probably been making without realizing it, and how to shift your mindset from expectation to possibility. They also share a practical exercise you can do today to start clearing the air and rebuilding real trust and connection. If your relationship feels off, this is where you start doing something about it. Want to fix the problem at the root instead of guessing your way through it? Watch the free training at https://fixmarriage.thepowerfulman.com/scales. It walks you through exactly what's going wrong and how to turn it around. No fluff, just clear next steps.

Apostolic leadership serves as a catalyst for the disruption of settled expectations within church communities. This episode elucidates the premise that such leadership does not aim to maintain comfort within established systems, but rather to uphold faithfulness to core principles. Comfort, as we contend, poses a significant impediment to the vitality of church planting and outreach efforts. When congregants become complacent, their engagement diminishes, thus stymieing the potential for growth and outreach. We acknowledge that while systems can provide structure and support, they may also cultivate an atmosphere of ease that is antithetical to the essence of a life committed to the teachings and challenges inherent in a crucified existence.Coming Monday on Echoes Trough Eternity we will discuss In this episode of Echoes Through Eternity, we explore what happens when spiritual formation begins to reshape your pace, your availability, and your leadership—while others still expect the version of you that ran on urgency.Drawing on the wisdom of Jesus, Alan Hirsch, Henri Nouwen, Richard Rohr, and lived pastoral experience, this conversation names the quiet collision between formation and expectation.If you are leading with care, protecting your soul, and feeling tension instead of applause, this episode is for you.Formation always disrupts assumptions.The question is whether you will stay faithful when it does.

The Holidays: A Group Project My Nervous System Didn't Agree To In this New Year's episode, Patricia Young (she/her) explores why the holiday season can be especially challenging for autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD nervous systems. Through personal stories about gift giving, overstimulation, masking, PDA, rejection sensitivity, and the need for sameness and predictability, she unpacks how small changes and social expectations can quietly dysregulate neurodivergent people. The episode also includes updates on her purple hair and tattoo, reflections on attunement and fairness, and a gentle alternative to New Year's resolutions—offering practical categories for reflection that center self-compassion, regulation, and realistic support. WHAT YOU'LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE · Why holidays are uniquely overstimulating for neurodivergent nervous systems · How transitions, visitors, and disrupted routines impact regulation · The role of predictability, sameness, and visual memory in autistic well-being · Why gift giving can activate PDA, executive dysfunction, and shame · How attunement in gift giving can feel deeply regulating—and deeply stressful · The pressure to perform gratitude and enthusiasm while masking discomfort · Why opening gifts in front of others can be overwhelming for autistic adults · How fairness, justice sensitivity, and reciprocity complicate holiday dynamics · The emotional labor involved in "doing it right" socially · How body doubling supports assertiveness and nervous system regulation · Why small environmental changes can create disproportionate stress · The difference between order as regulation versus control · How animals, sensory joy, and flexibility can increase tolerance for chaos · Reflections on regret, learning, and doing things differently over time · Why curiosity and problem-solving are often misunderstood in autistic communication · How rejection sensitivity and object permanence affect relationships · A compassionate alternative to New Year's resolutions · Reflective life categories including health, finances, relationships, self-care, creativity, home, and novelty · Why survival mode is sometimes the only valid goal · A reminder that sensitivity is wiring—not a flaw   SOUND BITES ·       "Our nervous systems really do best with sameness, repetition, and predictability." ·       "Masking is all about making other people feel comfortable—and that's a lot of work." ·       "Regret doesn't mean you did something wrong. It means you're learning." ·       "You have a right to be regulated, dysregulated, organized, disorganized, content, or discontent." SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You are not broken. You were shaped by systems that weren't built for you. You deserve rest, joy, and support exactly as you are. CHAPTERS (PLEASE ALLOW FOR ADDITION OF INTRO) 00:00 Navigating Holiday Challenges 10:06 The Complexity of Gift Giving 20:39 Reflections on Relationships and Expectations 29:26 Looking Ahead: New Year Reflections PODCAST HOST Patricia Young (she/her) was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 17 years, but she is now exclusively providing coaching. She knows what it's like to feel like an outcast, misfit, and truthteller.  Learning about the trait of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), then learning she is AuDHD with a PDA profile, OCD and RSD, helped Patricia rewrite her history with a deeper understanding, appreciation, and a sense of self-compassion.  She created the podcasts Unapologetically Sensitive and Unapologetically AuDHD to help other neurodivergent folks know that they aren't alone, and that having a brain that is wired differently comes with amazing gifts, and some challenges.  Patricia works online globally working individually with people, and she teaches Online Courses for neurodivergent folks that focus on understanding what it means to be a sensitive neurodivergent.

What happens when we seemingly forget spiritual laws? Without choosing to create our experiences, our experiences will reveal what we may or may not realize we hold to be true. Using spiritual laws can consciously create our lives by choosing higher expectations and greater ideas. It's not just a good idea, it's the law.

In this episode of the Living Well podcast, Olivia Hill discusses the concept of broken expectations and how they impact motivation and consistency in achieving personal goals.

Olivia provides insights on how to adjust these expectations, build consistency, and create supportive environments for success. She encourages listeners to focus on daily wins and to shift their mindsets from an all-or-nothing approach to one that embraces progress and realistic timelines.

Ruben Amorim SACKED! Arsenal Transfers & Title Expectations ft Dharmesh Sheth

Send us a textEXPECTATION VS. REALITYDisappointment with God | Part 1 Senior Pastor Keith StewartJanuary 4, 2026Some of the deepest spiritual pain isn't simply what happens to us—it's what we thought God would do and didn't. When expectations collide with reality, disappointment isn't far behind. This Sunday we're starting a new series: “Expectation vs. Reality.” We'll talk honestly about disappointment with God—where it comes from, what it reveals about what we really believe, and how that disappointment can either spiral into discouragement… or become the doorway to deeper faith and healing. If you're carrying questions, confusion, or a heavy heart—you're not alone. And you don't have to pretend. If you know someone who's walking through a hard season, feel free to share this with them.”Discussion Questions 1. Expectations reveal themselves in pain - “Expectations are never apparent until they're unfulfilled.” Where in your life right now are unmet expectations creating disappointment—and what might that disappointment be revealing about what you truly believe (about God, yourself, or life)? 2. Stealth expectations - Brené Brown calls them “stealth expectations”—the expectations we don't even know we have. What are some “silent contracts” you've placed on God or other people (unspoken demands like “You should know,” “This shouldn't happen,” “I don't deserve this”)? How have those shaped resentment or shame? 3. The spiral of disappointment - Disappointment can move toward discouragement → disillusionment → depression → defeat.Where have you seen that progression at work in your own life (or someone close to you)? What are the early warning signs that tell you you're slipping into that spiral? 4. Sorting cause and blame - The message challenged “blueprint theology” and victim-blaming, and explored the nature of life (broken world), people (sin and freedom), and God (His heart breaks first). Which of those categories helps you most right now—and which one is hardest for you to accept emotionally? 5. God can handle the truth - The Psalms give us language for honest lament, anger, confusion, and grief—without pretending. What emotions do you most struggle to bring to God (anger, fear, disappointment, sadness, doubt)? What would it look like this week to pray more like a lament psalm—honest, unfiltered, and trusting? 6. Disorientation as a doorway - Brueggemann's pattern: orientation → disorientation → reorientation. Where would you say you are in that cycle right now? What might “reorientation” look like for you—not necessarily a quick fix, but a deeper, truer relationship with God in the middle of your disappointment?

New York Knicks and Rangers owner James Dolan joins The Carton Show with Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle for a rare, wide-ranging, and candid interview—his first public sit-down in years. Dolan opens up about the controversial decision to move on from Tom Thibodeau, why collaboration and player development drove the coaching change, and why this Knicks roster is built to win an NBA championship now, not just compete. On the Rangers side, Dolan explains his patience with Chris Drury and Mike Sullivan, the culture reset in progress, and why fans shouldn't give up despite early struggles.

What do we expect out of life? What should we expect from God? Maybe a better question is what does God expect from us? In Matthew 28, Jesus lays out God's expectations of us as believers – places to go and things He has called us to. What would your life look like and how could the world be changed if we all committed to follow His calling?

On Sunday, we began Season 3 of Binge the Bible by meeting The King Who Didn't Meet Expectations from John 1:9-14. One important layer worth adding is how intentionally John frames Jesus' arrival not just as fulfillment, but as escalation. When John says, “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us,” the word translated dwelling echoes Israel's tabernacle language, but with a crucial difference. In the Old Testament, God's presence was localized and mediated. In Jesus, God's presence is mobile, relational, and personal. John isn't just saying God showed up; he's saying God came closer than anyone expected, and closer than the old systems could manage.That closeness is precisely what disrupted expectations. A distant God is easier to manage. A holy God behind curtains and sacrifices can be approached on our terms. But a God who walks into our neighborhoods, exposes hearts, and brings grace and truth together resists control. John is subtly teaching us that disappointment with Jesus often isn't about unmet promises, it's about proximity. The closer God comes, the more He reveals, and the more our expectations are challenged.

#955 | Ed and Tom break down Manchester United's 1-1 draw away to Leeds United, a game that promised a difficult test but in the end said much about United's expectations these days. They assess United's performance, the recurring tactical issues, and limitations within the squad. The discussion moves from individual performances to the bigger picture, including Ruben Amorim's tactical approach, his long-term prospects, and what this result says about United's place in the wider race for European places. There were flashes of encouragement, but also a sober assessment of where this team currently stands and what may lie ahead. 00:00 Introduction and Initial Reactions - Leeds 1-1 United 05:54 Amorim's Future 17:43 Match Analysis: Leeds Goal and United's Response 27:42 Squad Limitations 41:00 Top Four Race 52:00 Looking Ahead to Burnley If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing a weekly exclusive bonus episode, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts.
