A scientific study—which sought to explore how much of people’s musical sensitivity is cultural and how much of it is instinctual—played drum rhythms for newborn babies while monitoring their brain wave activity. Occasionally, the researchers would omit a beat from the rhythm. Amazingly, they found the infants’ brain waves spiked right when the note was left out—showing their young minds were already anticipating that beat and reacting to its absence. The study brings to mind the amazing way that God has created us. He’s even wired us to embrace the wonderful gift of music and respond to it with joy. And, as the psalmist David writes in Psalm 30, to respond to God’s grace with music of our own—songs of “praise to his holy name” (v. 4). Yet pain, exhaustion, regret, or grief can sometimes weigh our hearts down and threaten to silence our songs of praise. Experiencing despair, even fearing death, David pleaded with God to deliver, asking “What is gained if I am silenced? . . . Will the dust praise you?” (v. 9). David did experience God’s faithfulness as joy was restored once more, as God turned his “wailing into dancing” and “clothed [him] with joy” (v. 11). As God heals our hearts and fills them with the rhythms of joy we were born to dance to, we too can testify: “Lord my God, I will praise you forever” (v. 12).

Join Carrie and Molly as they awake at Colchuck Lake after a chilly night. Their group makes the trip up Asgaard pass, using a team oriented approach to tackling the grueling ascent. After a few false summits, they arrive at the top of the pass and are welcomed by one of the ambassadors of the enchantments core. They reflect on how different the core looks covered in snow, and the group must come to a decision on their day's itinerary. Carrie and Molly discuss which is worse on Asgaard: ascending or descending.

In this episode of Don't Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman study Ezra and Nehemiah, following Israel's return from exile as they begin the long work of rebuilding Jerusalem, the temple, and their covenant relationship with God. These chapters remind us that every story of faith includes moments of starting again, and that the Lord is always ready to welcome His people home. As the people lay the temple's foundation, face opposition, and press forward despite discouragement, they discover that rebuilding rarely happens all at once. Faith grows one step at a time through small, consistent acts of devotion, even when progress feels slow. Again and again, scripture reminds us that the good hand of God is upon His people, strengthening them as they continue the work He has called them to do. This episode also highlights the role of prophets in times of rebuilding. Through the words of Ezra, Nehemiah, Haggai, and Zechariah, we see that God's servants encourage, strengthen, and remind His people of who they truly are. Rather than being defined by past mistakes, the Lord invites us to accept His new decree over our lives and move forward with faith, courage, and joy. Above all, Ezra and Nehemiah testify that rebuilding is not a story of shame but of hope. The joy of the Lord becomes our strength as we remember His goodness, recognize His hand in our lives, and choose once again to walk with Him. No matter where we begin, His gracious hand is always reaching out, inviting us to build something beautiful with Him.

In this episode of the Integral Yoga Podcast (Ep. 152), we sit down with master percussionist and sound healer Arjun Bruggeman.

He dives deep into what happens internally while anchoring a room full of chanters, sharing incredible transcendent experiences of devotion and the feeling of complete stillness on stage.We also explore his shift during the pandemic toward his solo "Sound Journey" work—inspired by the etheric nature of the Northern Lights—and how he uses meditation and ambient percussion to help others drop out of the mind and into the "sensation arts" of the body.

Continuing the Summer Reset series on resetting your body, this conversation picks up where the last episode left off – not with behavior modification, but with the deeper question underneath it all: How do we actually see ourselves, and where did that story come from? Alisa Keeton has spent 35 years at the intersection of faith and wellness, and what she brings to this conversation isn't a program, it's a framework. Alisa unpacks the way chronic stress rewires the brain, the way childhood shame messages shape our relationship with food, and the way the body was designed not to be worshiped or punished. Lisa brings her own story to the conversation as well, including what God showed her about neglecting the body while serving Him with everything else. If you're looking for a spiritually grounded, scientifically informed path toward genuine freedom in the body, this episode is for you!

Owen Alicience didn't begin playing football until he was 16 years old. Before becoming a Penn State offensive lineman, he was a hockey player who thought his high school coach was joking when he predicted that football could take him to the Division I level.His introduction to the sport was anything but easy. Alicience entered his first fall camp with no previous football experience, then faced two four-star edge rushers in the first game of his career. He survived the early adversity, fell in love with the process of improving and committed himself completely to the game.That commitment included transforming his body from approximately 220 pounds when he started playing to more than 300 pounds as a college offensive lineman.In this Penn State player profile, Alicience discusses the influence of his parents, the coach who recognized his potential, his rapid introduction to football, the challenge of gaining weight, his first experience inside Beaver Stadium and why Penn State's culture felt like the right fit.He also explains how being overlooked continues to motivate him as he works to take advantage of an opportunity he once never imagined was possible.Subscribe for more Penn State Football player profiles, behind-the-scenes stories and exclusive Nittany Lions content.Presented by PAM Health - https://pamhealth.com/Chapters:00:00 Meet Owen Alicience00:22 Starting Football at 1600:48 Brutal First Fall Camp01:03 Facing Two Four-Star Edge Rushers01:44 The Coach Who Changed His Journey02:12 Going From 220 to 310 Pounds02:39 First Penn State Visit03:01 Experiencing the Beaver Stadium White Out03:31 The Penn State Family Is Everywhere03:49 Fishing, Hunting and Golf04:06 Underdog MentalityFOLLOW STATE MEDIA HERE:► TWITTER | ⁠https://twitter.com/StateMediaPSU⁠► TIKTOK | ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@statemediapsu⁠► INSTAGRAM | ⁠https://www.instagram.com/statemediapsu/⁠► YOUTUBE | ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@StateMediaPSU?sub_confirmation=1⁠► FACEBOOK | https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558183472272#PennStateFootball #WeAre #CollegeFootball

Something I learned from diet culture was that the taste of sweet was "bad." If I craved sweetness then something must be out of balance. There was probably a period of time where craving sweetness sent me into a panic where I had to become a detective to understand why I wanted something sweet. Learning about the five tastes changed my perspective. We have 5 basic tastes that include sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and savory. Experiencing all five tastes can make a meal feel more satisfying and even regulating to your nervous system. Wanting to taste sweetness doesn't mean there is something wrong with you, but that your body is always looking for a balanced, well rounded eating experience. Additionally, the demonization of sweet foods has led to a complete disconnect from the body. One of the first tastes we experience as a baby is sweet. Sweet can be connected to care, warmth, attention, attunement, and connection. What if you're not out of control with eating sweets, but starving for the bodily experience that sweets provide?In this week's episode, I chat with Michelle Brown, Functional Nutrition and Lifestyle Practitioner and clinical herbalist, about: The somatic experience of foodThe five tastes and how they affect your nervous systemUnderstanding sweetness and its role in nutritionBalancing taste for inner harmonyCravings as body communicationThe connection between taste and emotionsThe importance of enjoying your mealsYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/five-tastes-calm-or-energize-your-nervous-systemWith Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with Michelle here: Website: www.botanacea.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michelle_botanacea/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@michelleBotanacea LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-brown-b48a31205/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/michellebrownhealthcoachSupport the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: support@stephaniemara.comSupport the show:Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportAll affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resourcesReceive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARAUse my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPlSpecial thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.bensou...

Why do you keep experiencing the same patterns during ascension, even when you're doing the inner work? In this episode, I explore why recurring emotional patterns, intense energy waves, and familiar challenges continue to surface during the ascension process. If you've been wondering why it feels like the same struggles keep returning, this will give you a new way to understand what's happening.Many people focus on managing ascension symptoms but overlook a deeper reason these patterns and symptoms persist. This perspective can help you better navigate your ascension journey, integrate higher consciousness, and move through recurring experiences with greater awareness.

In this episode of Soul Sense, Mark Verkler sits down with author, coach, and teacher Tony Stoltzfus to explore how God transforms us through relationship with Jesus—not just through discipline, effort, or trying harder.Tony shares his journey from being driven by self-discipline and performance to discovering the freedom of grace, learning to encounter Jesus in the middle of suffering, and finding a deeper way to read Scripture through imagination and experience.Tony also shares powerful stories of betrayal, loss, forgiveness, and how God can redeem even the deepest wounds.If you are walking through a difficult season, feeling stuck in performance, or longing for a deeper relationship with Jesus, this conversation offers hope and practical ways to meet God in the middle of your story.

In this episode Mike and Trey Farley of Farley Pool Designs interview Bill Phillips, owner of Clark Synthesis in Colorado, a major manufacturer of underwater swimming pool speakers. Bill shares his path from Kentucky to high-end audio and eventually buying Clark Synthesis, and explains how their underwater speakers work by radiating sound more like a cello, producing full-frequency audio with strong bass rather than the tinny sound typical underwater. They discuss design help (plan markup in about 24 hours), installation in standard light niches, custom powder-coated finishes, and considerations like waterfalls, swim jets, and volume safety. Bill describes broader uses of their vibration/transducer technology in massage tables, drummers' hearing protection, decks as subwoofers via bone conduction, resorts and yachts, float tanks, therapy applications, and VR/theme parks, plus key tips: mix audio to mono, use proper amplifiers, and test speakers in water.   Discover more: https://clarksynthesis.com/ https://www.farleypooldesigns.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@MikeFarleyDesigns https://www.instagram.com/farleydesigns/ https://www.instagram.com/luxuryoutdoorlivingpodcast/   00:00 Welcome to the Podcast 01:17 Meet the Guest Bill Phillips 02:04 Bill's Audio Journey 03:04 HGTV Lazy River Story 04:52 How Underwater Sound Works 07:05 Full Frequency Bass Explained 08:04 Underwater Movie Nights 09:06 Speaker Placement and Install 10:19 Design and Color Customization 11:23 Feeling Music Underwater 12:31 Beyond Pools Massage Tech 15:00 Where to Try Them Out 16:00 Marine and Portable Options 17:28 Float Tanks and Wellness 19:14 Wildest Backyard Use Case 20:17 Planning for Water Noise 22:05 Volume Safety and Control 23:02 Deck Transducers for Bass 24:18 Decks as Speakers 24:48 Why Wood Resonates 25:09 Bone Conduction Explained 25:58 Car Gravel Road Demo 27:50 Barefoot vs Shoes 29:32 Marriage Saved by Sound 31:13 Company Evolution Story 33:22 Ordering and Dealer Support 35:17 Therapy and Deaf Dance Floors 36:42 Biggest Unexpected Use Cases 38:26 VR and Future Healthcare 40:04 Setup Mistakes to Avoid 41:32 Hearing Safety Questions 42:46 Contact and Rapid Fire Qs 44:32 Papua New Guinea Memories 46:16 Wrap Up and Show Mission

Industry segments, like automotive, often rely on specialized hardware and software stacks. As that is very expensive to keep up, most segments have a shift towards COTS HW and that is an opportunity to look into open source as well.In this segment of the My Open Source Experience podcast Philipp Ahmann talks about his experience with this generation change, that also involved using Linux. This shift opened up more opportunities than what you would expect, and allowed Philipp to work at any location without confidentiality or IP breaches.Learn more about:- Open source gives flexibility to both individuals and companies- Experiencing different cultures through communities- Software, especially open source, often gets used in ways that the original creators did not think of#opensource #community #collaboration #experience #podcast Hosted on Acast.

In this moving listener story, Carmen shares her complicated journey through pregnancy loss, recurrent miscarriage, TFMR (termination for medical reasons), traumatic births, emergency deliveries, and ultimately building the family she always dreamed of. As a mother of 12 babies, five Earthside and seven who are no longer physically here, Carmen offers a powerful perspective on grief, resilience, and what it means to continue mothering children who have died.Throughout this conversation, Carmen opens up about the realities of pregnancy after loss, the emotional toll of carrying grief through multiple pregnancies, and the complicated intersection of gratitude and trauma. Her story is one of profound love, heartbreaking decisions, and the ongoing process of learning how to carry both joy and sorrow at the same time.In This Episode, We Discuss:

Candice built her framework the hard way. After a stroke and brain hemorrhage in 2018 rerouted a decades-long corporate finance career, she gave herself the "graceful pause" to ask where she really wanted to go, and discovered her true gift wasn't the numbers, but being a bridge and connector of relationships. Out of that came ACE: Align your strategy and structure, Connect to the right systems and people, and Expand intentionally. As she puts it, even a great cup of coffee is useless without a container to hold it.Together they get into relationship capital most people never optimize, why you should be "more interested than interesting," and the mindset shift that changes everything: stop checking boxes and start experiencing life.What you'll take away:1. Alignment before achievement. Most people try to perform their way to growth. Get clear on who you are and what uniquely makes you a blessing to others first, the authentic results follow.2. Be interested, not interesting. Relationship capital is built in the moment. Lead with "How can I help you?" and let the connection evolve organically instead of pitching.3. Structure holds the vision. Opportunities mean nothing without the systems and container to support them. Align the team, then connect strategically.4. Bring in a mirror. You can't see your own "spinach in the teeth." A trusted accountability partner, internal or external, sees what you can't. Refusing feedback is why many businesses stall.5. Check your patterns. Be a continual learner: pause, read the landscape, spot the pattern, and only make moves that open the next door.6. Go through, not around. Every challenge, even a horrific culture or a health crisis, is a place to learn. You don't have to agree with how you're treated to grow from it.7. Stop checking boxes. Living is checking boxes. Experiencing life is staying agile when you end up on a road you never planned to walk.Most people don't realize authentic growth starts with alignment, not achievement. Our listeners do.

Evangelical Christians should earnestly hope for, pray for, and work for revival. Maybe that's why we're always looking for and too often declaring, with only limited evidence, that revival has broken out. We want it to be true, so we declare it to be true with just the slightest encouragement. We should also not be ignorant to the fact that many purveyors of revival talk have financial incentives. If I can say that God is at work here, and you should support the work that God is doing, that provides a powerful and sometimes manipulative message that will separate well-meaning but naïve Christians from their money. Revival talk sells books, fills auditoriums and arenas, and causes donations to flow. And while we do not want to quench the spirit (to use biblical language), we should be clear-eyed and discerning when we hear people talk of revival. And we've been hearing a lot lately that America is experiencing revival. Kenneth Copeland has repeatedly declared that America is entering a season of revival. On his broadcasts and at ministers’ conferences, he has described the nation as being on the verge of “the greatest awakening” and has tied it to his own prophetic announcements. Mario Murillo has been one of the strongest proponents of the “America is in revival” narrative. He argues that mass tent meetings, conversions in California and elsewhere, and openness among young people indicate that the country is already experiencing a “Third Great Awakening.” Lance Wallnau has likewise said that America is experiencing a spiritual awakening, often linking it with political developments and what he describes as a national “reformation.” But people who study religion say…not so fast. Today, I have one of the godfathers of Christian polling and survey work on the program, George Barna, and we address the question directly: Is America experiencing a revival. His thoughts on the subject may surprise you. George Barna is one of the best-known researchers of religion and culture in the United States. He founded the Barna Research Group in 1984, pioneering the use of survey research to measure Americans’ religious beliefs, church attendance, worldview, and cultural trends. After selling the Barna Group in 2009, he launched several research initiatives focused on faith and public life. Today, Barna serves as Professor of Cultural Research at Arizona Christian University, where he is Director of Research for the university’s Cultural Research Center. He is also Senior Research Fellow for the Center for Biblical Worldview at the Family Research Council and the author or co-author of more than 60 books on faith, culture, leadership, and worldview. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. I'm your host, Warren Smith. Until next time, may God bless you.

Irene is a sports scientist, endurance coach, and ultra-runner originally from Spain, now based in the UK. She moved to the UK in 2013 to pursue a Master's degree, intending to stay only briefly, but quickly fell in love with the country and never left. Her journey into ultra-running was entirely unplanned. She only started running consistently in 2017 during her PhD in Neuroscience, initially as a way to cope with academic stress. Distances gradually increased, and without even realising ultramarathons existed, she found herself constantly curious about how far she could go. Once she ran beyond 21 km, something clicked—and she never looked back. Running became both a coping mechanism and, at times, a source of imbalance. A combination of PhD stress, under-fuelling, disordered eating, and overtraining led to injury after her first ultramarathon in 2021. While challenging, that injury marked a turning point. Although her academic career appeared highly successful from the outside, Irene was experiencing severe burnout and quietly drifting away from neuroscience. In January 2023, she left academia altogether after a period of profound burnout. Ultra-running remained a constant during this time and ultimately helped her rebuild. By then, she had already completed coaching and sports rehabilitation qualifications, and the transition into applied sport felt natural. She founded Train4BodyMind, combining science, performance, and a more holistic approach to endurance sport. Later that year, Irene began a second MSc in Sport and Exercise Science and Medicine, while simultaneously building her coaching business and working in a physiotherapy clinic. Throughout this journey, she became increasingly aware of a major gap in sports science: the lack of research and evidence-based guidance for women. While searching for answers about her own body, she realised how little research existed on female endurance athletes—particularly in ultra-running.  This led her to investigate how the menstrual cycle affects performance in female ultrarunners, an area that had been largely overlooked despite the extreme demands of the sport. Today, Irene is passionate about supporting women in endurance sports through evidence-based coaching and education. She is particularly focused on countering the widespread misinformation surrounding women's physiology and rigid cycle-based rules, which often create fear rather than empowerment. Her work aims to help women understand their bodies better, train with confidence, and use their physiology as a strength rather than a limitation. ***  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

He also discusses how historical attitudes towards Irish continue to influence modern perceptions and explores what a more confident relationship with the language might look like.This episode reminds us that language is not simply a tool for communication. It is also a connection to place, history, identity, culture, and community.This Episode Celebrates:* The power of challenging myths and misconceptions about Irish* The role of Gaelscoileanna in language revitalisation* The importance of community-led Irish language initiatives* The rich linguistic heritage that exists throughout Ireland, including beyond today's Gaeltacht regionsIf you've ever wondered why certain negative narratives about Irish persist, why bilingualism is viewed differently in Ireland than elsewhere, or what the future of the language might look like, this episode is for you.Thanks for your interest in The Language Question ~ Ceist na Teangan!

His love of the Irish language grew after spending time in East Timor teaching English. Experiencing life in a multilingual society led him to question why Ireland often makes such a “song and dance” about bilingualism.After returning to Ireland, Colm studied communications and worked with the Irish-language newspapers Lá and Gaelscéal. He now works in the non-profit sector but continues to contribute actively to public conversations about the Irish language, language attitudes, and language policy.While working in journalism, Colm became increasingly interested in the myths and misconceptions frequently repeated about Irish. This led him to develop a myth-busting campaign with Conradh na Gaeilge that examines common claims about the language and their impact on public attitudes. The campaign has included public talks, webinars, educational resources for teachers, YouTube videos, media appearances, and a TEDx Talk.Colm's writing has appeared in The Irish Times, TheJournal.ie, and other publications, and he has been interviewed on RTÉ Radio 1, Raidió na Gaeltachta, Raidió na Life, Raidió Fáilte and BBC Radio. He believes that myths and misunderstandings about Irish continue to have a real and negative effect on the language, and much of his work focuses on challenging those assumptions through evidence, history, and public discussion.Learn more:Ted Talk InstagramConradh na Gaeilge This is a public episode.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we wrapped up our weekly theme, "Temptation," by discussing various temptations with experts in their fields and how they overcome them. Dr. Winfred Neely joined us to discuss the temptation to manage worry in our own strength. He explained the difference between worry and concern and how believers can experience God’s peace by drawing near to Him in faith. Dr. Neely is Professor Emeritus of Old Testament, Biblical Interpretation, and Preaching at Moody Bible Institute and author of "How to Overcome Worry – Experiencing the Peace of God in Every Situation." Dr. Michael Rydelnik also joined us to talk about spiritual conflict in the Middle East, the danger of remaining silent in the face of evil, and how believers can stand firm by reading, meditating on, and speaking the Word of God. Dr. Rydelnik is Professor Emeritus of Jewish Studies and Bible and an Adjunct Professor in the undergraduate program at Moody Bible Institute. He is the author of "How Should Christians Think About Israel?" Omer Eshel joined us from Israel to discuss the reported protests in Gaza against Hamas. He explained how many Palestinian civilians are seeking freedom from Hamas’ control, urging believers to pray for peace, protection, and the people caught in the middle. Omer is the CEO and Co-founder of The Bible Comes to Life Travel and Educational Center. We then opened the phone lines to hear from our listeners and posed the question, “What temptation has God given you victory over?” You can catch the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast If you're looking to hear a particular segment from the show, look at the following time stamps:Dr. Winfred Neely [ 44:34 ]Dr. Michael Rydelnik [ 13:38 ]Omer Eshel [ 7:04 ]Caller Segment [ 32:27 ]Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/morningshowSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
