Podcasts about feelings

Feelings of the day are torn, confused, excited, and pumped! After they go over the reasons behind all of these feelings, Kat then talks to Amy about the "solo-maxxing" trend, which is the growing movement of people actively choosing to stay single and actually thriving because of it. Then Amy goes over a list of subtle shifts women can make to get a man to play the long game. Some of these are genius. Some of them we would never do. What’s in Amy’s algorithm: a man that spent six years watching nearly 2,000 episodes of Wheel of Fortune to figure out whether husbands who publicly compliment their wives stay married longer. The results are wild. Plus the story of a woman who texted her late father figure's phone number for four years without knowing it had been reassigned, and what happened when the new owner finally wrote back. And lastly... the farting conversation continues. Listeners are calling in from all over with thoughts and stories about passing gas!!! Get some Feeling Things merch by clicking HERE!

Let's talk about Senators selling out their voters to save Trump's feelings....

If you’ve ever struggled to balance the demands of everyday life with an eternal perspective, this conversation is for you. If you’re a believer you know heaven is real. You probably even know you should thInk about living in light of eternal life. But how? If you’ve ever struggled to balance the demands of everyday life with an eternal perspective, this conversation is for you. In this episode, I sit down with storyteller and ministry founder Joe Mayers to talk about what it means to “think forever.” Joe shares how a devastating personal loss deepened his faith, strengthened his hope in heaven, and shaped the mission behind his ministry. We also talk about the judgment seat of Christ, why our daily choices matter more than we realize, and what Joe learned while creating his newest project about the Apostle Paul. This conversation will encourage you to live today with eternity in mind. And remember, I'd love to connect more on Instagram, where you'll find me at @donnaajones.

We are kicking off our Summer at Bethlehem series with a head-first dive into the life-changing power of God's Word. The Bible is not just ancient information; it is living, active, and timely. In this raw and deeply personal message, Pastor Jason opens up about his own years-long battle with anxiety to expose a universal truth: the biggest battle of your life is won and lost in the six-inch real estate between your ears - your MIND.   Preaching from Philippians 4:4-9, a passage written from the depths of a Roman prison rather than an Instagram motivational seminar, Pastor Jason teaches us that a healthy mind requires an intentional spiritual diet. If you have been trapped on an island of worry, playing out worst-case scenarios, this message serves as a practical guide to stop stuffing your emotions and start discipling your mind.  

Most social impact campaigns are built on two ingredients: information and emotion. The data makes the case. The storytelling makes people care. But caring, on its own, has a shelf life. Saralynn Finn, founder of Sett & Sley Consulting, joins Eric in the studio to argue that the third ingredient, what she calls "the hands", is where campaigns succeed or quietly die. Not more awareness, not more storytelling, but actionable pathways that give audiences something real to do with everything they now know and feel.Episode Highlights:[00:01:30] The head, heart, and hands framework for social impact campaigns [00:05:00] "the hands": actionable, attainable pathways that create real impact [00:06:00] Why "the hands" breakout at Skoll World Forum was the most well-attended [00:10:00] The celebrity collaboration that drove 30K subscribers but didn't change healthcare [00:15:30] Vote by mail in 2020: same message, radically different messengers [00:26:00] The end-of-year fundraising campaign that 5X'd revenueNotable Quotes:Saralynn Finn [00:06:00]: "It's the piece of most campaigns that's missing, that people are trying to break the nut of and figure out: how do I create a pathway?"Eric Ressler [00:13:00]: "Campaigns need their own little mini theory of change."Resources & Links:Skoll World Forum — https://skoll.org/skoll-world-forum/Represent Us — https://represent.us/Saralynn's LinkedIn article about the AI documentary in Rural America.Hosted by Eric Ressler, Founder & Creative Director of Cosmic, with co-host Jonathan Hicken, Executive Director of the Seymour Marine Discovery Center.

Purchase Daniels Book -  Hard Feelings: Finding the Wisdom in Our Darkest EmotionsIn this episode of Top Self, Shanenn sits down with psychotherapist and New York Times bestselling author Daniel Smith to explore a question most of us never stop to ask:What if the emotions you're trying hardest to get rid of are actually trying to help you?Whether it's jealousy, shame, envy, regret, or anxiety, many of us spend our lives chasing relief—seeking reassurance, distracting ourselves, or trying to think our way out of uncomfortable feelings. But according to Daniel, our darkest emotions aren't problems to eliminate. They're messengers carrying important information about who we are, what we fear, and what needs our attention.Together, Shanenn and Daniel talk about why self-criticism often causes more damage than the original emotion, how shame keeps us trapped in painful cycles, and why curiosity may be one of the most powerful tools for healing.If you've ever wondered why you keep having the same emotional reactions despite knowing "better," this conversation is for you.Golden Episode Nuggets:

What if getting dressed became less about managing perception…and more about self-expression and shaping our experience? In this episode of the Advancing Women Podcast, Dr. DeSimone explores the surprising emotional depth behind something that initially seems lighthearted: overdressing for no reason, Disney ears on a cruise, bold earrings, sparkle, whimsy, and the idea that maybe “less is more” has quietly turned into a life philosophy that asks us all to become smaller versions of ourselves. Inspired by a series of Instagram and TikTok posts about “normalizing overdressing,” “living in gray,” and reclaiming joy, this episode dives into: Why “YOU are the occasion” is such a powerful reframe. The psychology of Enclothed Cognition and how clothing can influence mood, confidence, and emotional experience. The cultural pressure toward neutrality, practicality, and emotional minimization. Why so many women are socialized to tone themselves down and avoid being “too much.” How adulthood became associated with restraint, muted joy, & “emotionally beige” living. The connection between joy, self-expression, visibility, and the concept of Deferred Life. Why reclaiming whimsy may actually be an act of self-reclamation. From Disney ears and pirate night themes to the “closet graveyard” of aspirational purchases and unworn outfits, this episode reflects on what it means to stop postponing aliveness and start fully participating in your own life. Because maybe being “too much” was never actually the problem. Maybe too many of us were simply taught that joy should be quieter than it deserves to be. Key Takeaways: • Less is not always more • Whimsy is not immaturity • Joy is not frivolous • Self-expression is not a character flaw • You do not need a special occasion to fully show up inside your own life So wear the fancy dress. Use the good perfume. Drink the good wine. Wear the ears. Take the photo. Because life is short. And Less is BORE!

What happens when life hits you hard? In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Nick Surface and Garrett Unclebach unpack what it means to live from the inside out. This is a conversation about identity, pressure, truth, endurance, and the kind of faith that makes Christian men immovable when the world around them is trying to shape them.Garrett explains that the real test of identity is not what you say about yourself when things are easy. The real test is what happens when pressure hits. Is what's inside of you stronger than what's outside of you? Are you influencing your environment, or is your environment influencing you? That is the heart of inside out living.Nick and Garrett use the picture of osmosis to explain how men are constantly being shaped by the environments around them. If what is outside of you is stronger than what is inside of you, it will change you. But if what God has built inside of you is stronger, you begin to change the environment instead.This episode challenges Christian men to stop living from external validation, pressure, feelings, and circumstances. Instead, men are called to live from truth, identity, faith, and the purpose God placed inside them. Garrett breaks down four major battles every man must win if he wants to live from the inside out.The first is truth over pressure. Pressure tests what you really believe. If something is true, it remains true even when life gets difficult. Christian men must learn to stand on the Word of God, not temporary methods, hacks, emotions, or cultural opinions. Truth does not break under pressure.The second is endurance over results. Many men chase outcomes because they think results will give them identity. But identity is built through endurance. James 1 shows that perseverance produces maturity, and maturity produces a life that lacks nothing. Purpose is not just found in reaching the result. It is formed in the process of becoming the kind of man who can endure.The third is evidence over affirmation. Affirmation feels good, but it can become dangerous when a man needs other people to tell him who he is. Garrett explains that strong identity is built through private evidence: the moments no one sees, the work no one applauds, and the decisions that prove to yourself who you are. Christian men must stop outsourcing their identity to the opinions of others.The fourth is thoughts over feelings. Feelings often come from what is happening around you, but thoughts are formed internally. Temptation, anger, fear, hunger, weakness, and comfort all try to pull men off course. But a transformed mind, built on God's truth, gives a man the ability to lead himself instead of being led by every feeling.This episode is a powerful call for men who want to walk in faith and purpose. If you want to become who God created you to be, you cannot live from the outside in. You cannot let pressure define you. You cannot let people's opinions direct you. You cannot let feelings lead your life.You have to know who you are. Because until your identity is stronger than your environment, your environment will keep shaping you. But when Christ is alive in you, what is inside can become stronger than anything outside of you. That is how Christian men live with purpose. That is how faith becomes strength. That is how you live from the inside out.Get With NuWave Home Lenders By Clicking HereJoin a group of likeminded Impossible Life listeners in our FREE Skool community by clicking here.Get the Purpose Playbook by clicking hereGet the FREE Basic Discipline Training 30 Day Program by clicking hereJoin us in Mindset Mastery by clicking hereIf you're a man that wants real accountability and training to be a leader, click here.Level up your nutrition with IDLife by clicking hereGET IN TOUCHSocial Media - @theimpossiblelifeEmail - info@theimpossible.life

It can be easy to lose faith in oneself when feelings change quickly. In this sermon on Romans 13:11–14 titled “Strangers and Pilgrims (1),” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones reminds that regardless of feelings, one's position is sure if they are a follower of Jesus. Feelings come and go but thankfully they do not influence one's position or relationship with Jesus since it is centered in Him and His work, not theirs. Christians are charged throughout Scripture that they are to be different from the world because of the change they have undergone in Christ. As Dr. Lloyd-Jones says, Paul calls believers to walk as children of the day, yet he mentions that the day is still to come— how can it be both? As he explains, Christians are already in the day because they are believers. Even though it is in the future, Christians are there in spirit because they are followers of Christ. Paul's point is that their citizenship is in heaven and must act like it. Dr. Lloyd-Jones explains how the knowledge of one's conversion ought to drive their actions and how this concept of the “now and not-yet” applies to today.

For quite a few years I have been telling this on-going fictional story of Fran and how she learns to turn to Jesus for wisdom and guidance in every area of her life. Fran is a young widow, a single mom with two children, and a demanding job. Through the struggles of her everyday life, she is learning to practice the presence of Jesus and look to him for guidance in every area of her life. Today is not such a good day for Fran. In fact, she is at the point of tears as she comes back to her office from a business meeting with her most important client. Closing her door, she plops in her chair and brushes away a tear that tries to escape. “Why did he say that to me?” she says out loud to herself. “Why would he be so cruel to me? I worked so hard on that promotion, and he shot it down without even listening to my idea!” “Feelings hurt today?” Jesus softly asks, though of course he has no need to know since he knows everything. Fran is again reminded of his abiding presence in her life. “Well, I don’t know if it’s my feelings that were hurt…” she stammers; “I think it was the crass insensitivity and unprofessionalism of Mr. Andrews. He was unnecessarily brutal.” “Your feelings are hurt, Fran,” Jesus states. “Might as well admit it; nothing to be ashamed of. Everyone gets their feelings hurt from time to time.” “Well, yeah, I guess he hurt my feelings. I mean, I've worked so hard for that account, and before this, he liked everything I did,” Fran explains. “Now out of the blue he hits me with this response—so unfair, you know.” “What exactly did he say?” Jesus asks. “You were there, Lord,” Fran replies, with a bit of frustrated sarcasm. Jesus laughs. “Yes, but it would be good for you to repeat what has upset you so much.” Fran feels ashamed of her inappropriate reaction. “I’m sorry. He said I had not researched this promotion adequately, and he was not comfortable going with my idea until I did my homework.” “And what was wrong with that comment?” Jesus asked. “What was wrong? I had an entire report backing up my idea. I did my homework. I always do my homework. That’s what’s gotten me where I am; everybody knows Fran does the job right,” Fran responds. “A bit defensive, are we?” Jesus quietly asks. Fran doesn’t like where this conversation is heading, so she suddenly gets busy with her work. “Nobody understands me,” she mumbles to herself, all the time knowing it’s not true. She's not yet ready to give up her pity party! As she’s leaving the office that afternoon, her friend, Alice, pops in. “Hi, want to grab some pizza tonight with the kids?” “Oh, Alice, I’m so glad you came by,” Fran lights up. “I was going to call you and see if you could come over tonight. I need to talk with you.” “What about?” she asks. “Oh, I had a rough meeting with Mr. Andrews. I need some advice,” she replies. They make plans for Alice to get the pizza while Fran picks up her children. After a time with the kids, some homework assignments, and a Bible story, Fran gets Drew and Alice to bed. Then the two of them settle down for their long talk. “Okay, let me have it,” Alice says. Tears start to come to her eyes again and Fran says, “Oh, it’s probably no big deal but Mr. Andrews really let me have it today in front of everybody. You know that big promotion I’ve been working on? Well, he said I didn’t have sufficient research to proceed. He told me to ‘take it back to the drawing board,’ to use his words. He said there were too many unanswered questions.” Fran pauses and looks at Alice, waiting for her response, still fighting to hold back her tears. Alice nods and says, “And…” “And what?” Fran raises her voice. “Isn’t that enough?” “Well, I mean, is that all he said?” Alice asks. “Don’t you think it was very rude and unprofessional of him? I mean, in front of everybody,” Fran says in frustration. “Who was there?” Alice asks. “His assistant, Bernie, and Jim from the Art Department,” Fran says. “Uh, huh,” Alice cautiously responds. “That’s not exactly ‘everybody’, Fran,” she says. “Oh, you just don’t understand, Alice!” Fran is angry. “I guess you’re thinking it was just an overreaction.” “Come on, Fran, give me a break,” Alice says. “How about giving me a break and trying to be understanding?” she says. “Okay, I want to be understanding, but I’m just not sure what Mr. Andrews said that upset you so much. Maybe you just had to be there or something.” Tears start down Fran’s face. “Alice, don’t you understand, he said I didn’t do a thorough job and…and…” “And you always do a thorough job,” Alice says quietly. “Yeah, I’m beginning to get it.” She quietly says, “Do you want me to pray about this with you?” Fran knows prayer is long overdue, but on the other hand, she doesn’t want to give up her pity party! However, she hesitatingly says, “Yeah, please pray.” As she listens to Alice’s prayer, Fran’s defenses start to break down. “Fran,” she hears the voice of Jesus, “truth sometimes hurts, but remember, truth sets you free.” Jesus has told her that before, but once again she needs to be reminded that facing the truth, painful as it may be, is always the best way to go. After Alice finishes, Fran prays, “Dear Jesus, I hate to admit it, but I’m wrong. I overreacted again. It’s one of my worst weaknesses, and I don’t think I’ll ever get control of it. Please forgive me. Mr. Andrews had every right to say what he did, and I just blew it out of proportion.” She finds it difficult to continue; Jesus whispers in her ear, “I understand; you don’t have to say any more.” “Thank you for understanding me even when I don’t understand myself,” she says as she finishes her prayer. Fran looks at Alice. “Do you think I’ll ever learn not to overreact?” she asks. “I mean, I seem to do it all the time. In retrospect I can see how silly it was of me to read so much into Mr. Andrew's comments.” “Well, I think you delight the Lord because you’re always honest and real with him, Fran, and you come around fast,” she says. “I’ve never known anyone as honest with herself as you are.” “Really?” Fran is surprised. “I never thought about it that way.” “You're such a good friend, Alice. I really appreciate your honesty with me and helping me see what I need to see about myself. You know, I was trying to tell my dad about it this afternoon on the phone, and he really didn't get it. But I just attributed that to the difference in the way men and women handle things like this.” “What do you mean?” Alice asks. “Well,” Fran answers, “we women tend to be more subtle and careful about the words we choose because we know how easily our feelings can be hurt. I think men tend to simply state facts and let the chips fall where they may, so to speak. Therefore, what Mr. Andrews said about me not doing a complete job really hurt my feelings, but a man would see that as a simple directive—something to be expected. Don't you think that's true, Alice?” Alice thinks about it a minute. “Well, it sure makes men sound terribly insensitive, which they can be sometimes, I'm sure. But it's also part of our personality and how much we are personally affected. I have to admit, I couldn’t see why you were that upset over it. But then again, it wasn't me there having to listen to what he said, so I could just be more objective at that moment.” Fran starts to laugh. “Isn’t it crazy how differently we see things,” she comments. “His comment hurt my feelings so badly; I took it very personally, but you heard it as just a simple business decision. You're right. When our toes are stepped on, it tends to feel much more personal!” Some good lessons learned. Proverbs 16:20 tells us, whoever gives heed to instruction prospers, and blessed is he who trusts in the Lord. You can see why Fran overreacted to her client’s remarks. He challenged her in the one area where Fran felt she excelled—her attention to details and her competence at doing her job. Fran has done very well in her company because of these good qualities, and subtly, without realizing it, she had started to take some pride in herself for her achievements. Pride is such a deceitful snare. It sneaks up on you while you’re not looking. The very gifts God gives us can become points of pride in our lives, when we begin to think we’ve done something ourselves. And so, this somewhat painful meeting Fran had with her client punctured that pride and the poison came oozing out. But, as humbling as it was, it was a very good lesson because Fran was able to see it for herself and recognize her pride before it got too far out of hand. Maybe you too need to learn to control your reactions. If you find yourself speaking hastily when you’re upset, getting your feelings hurt too easily or exaggerating incidents to be much larger than they are, start praying that God will help you not to overreact. Frankly, I’ve been praying that for myself for years and though I’m not there yet, I’ve made some progress in the right direction.

Episode 3022: Allison Carmen reflects on how a teaching from Thich Nhat Hanh changed the way she responds to her children's difficult moods and behavior. By replacing blame with understanding and compassion, she discovered a calmer, more peaceful approach to parenting that helped her family navigate emotional moments with greater ease and connection. Read along with the original article(s) here: http://www.allisoncarmen.com/can-understanding-help-us-deal-with-our-childrens-moods/ Quotes to ponder: “Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and argument.” “If you understand, and you show that you understand, you can love, and the situation will change” “My change of perspective helped me give up the idea that things are not as they should be.” Episode references: Thich Nhat Hanh: https://plumvillage.org/about/thich-nhat-hanh Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to 5 Minutes of Peace — a moment to reflect, recharge, and renew. Each episode offers a brief meditation or inspirational reading to help you reconnect with calm, clarity, and presence.In this episode, our guest is Saw Myint, joining us from Sydney, Australia. Saw's Facebook pageSaw's WebsiteSaw shares a deeply personal reflection on mental well-being and the importance of caring for our inner life. Having experienced periods of depression earlier in life, Saw speaks openly about how spirituality and self-reflection helped him find a path toward peace — and how that journey now inspires her to help others who may feel lost or overwhelmed.Saw reminds us that much of our emotional suffering comes from worries and memories that are no longer present. Feelings of happiness or unhappiness arise and pass, just like everything else in life. When we pause long enough to notice them, we begin to see that many of our fears live only in our thoughts.Through a gentle practice of awareness, Saw encourages us to let go of what we cannot control and to use our time wisely. Life is short, she reminds us, and our time is one of our most precious resources. Choosing how we spend it — whether through service, compassion, or personal growth — shapes the meaning of our lives.This episode offers a reminder that peace often begins with a small daily moment of stillness, where we allow our thoughts to pass and reconnect with the present.Thank you for listening — and thank yourself for taking five minutes of peace.To learn more about The Peace Room, our Reiki sessions, trainings, and workshops, visitwww.ThePeaceRoom.loveJoin us again whenever you need… 5 Minutes of Peace.

El primer tema de discusión tratará sobre un cambio potencial importante al proceso de ampliación de la Unión Europea. Los miembros del grupo se están planteando denegar a los nuevos estados miembro el derecho a veto durante varios años después de que se hayan incorporado. Después hablaremos de la encíclica del papa León, donde hace un llamamiento a actuar de forma urgente para asegurar que la IA sirva a la humanidad en lugar de perjudicarla. El segmento de ciencia lo dedicaremos a un nuevo estudio que ha descubierto que participar de forma habitual en actividades artísticas y culturales podría ralentizar el envejecimiento biológico, de forma similar a la práctica regular de ejercicio físico. Y concluiremos la primera parte del programa comentando el episodio final de "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert", que marcó el fin de uno de los programas más populares del late night. El resto del episodio de hoy lo dedicaremos a la lengua y la cultura españolas. La primera conversación incluirá ejemplos del tema de gramática de la semana, The Pronominal Verbs. Verbs of Emotions and Feelings. En esta conversación discutiremos si los famosos, como los futbolistas, deben posicionarse ante una opinión personal en un acto público. Pondremos como ejemplo a Lamine Yamal, jugador del F.C. Barcelona, que apareció en lo alto de un autobús descapotable ondeando una bandera palestina el día de la celebración de la victoria en la Liga española. Y, en nuestra última conversación, aprenderemos a usar una nueva expresión española, A trancas y barrancas. Hablaremos de la película Don Quijote de Orson Welles. Esta filmación fue realizada con fragmentos conservados del rodaje de la película Quijote del director estadounidense Orson Welles y editada por el cineasta español Jesús Franco. La película de Welles nunca fue terminada. Pero con ese material se hizo otra película. Para algunos fue un error. Para otros una alegría reencontrarse con material del genio fallecido. La UE se plantea postergar la concesión del derecho a veto a los nuevos estados miembro En una gran encíclica, el papa León advierte de los peligros de la IA a los que se enfrenta la humanidad El arte y la cultura están vinculados con una ralentización del envejecimiento biológico Stephen Colbert presenta el episodio final del legendario "Late Show" Posicionarse ante una opinión Don Quijote de Orson Welles

Friend, we’ve all experienced hurt, therefore we all have places in our lives that need healing. Sometimes the hurt is obvious, and sometimes it shows up in the way we react, avoid, shut down, or try to pretend we’re fine. In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Willow Weston, author of Collide: Running into Healing When Life Hands You Hurt. Willow shares her own story of pain, healing, and learning to run toward Jesus instead of away from what hurts. We talk about why healing takes honesty, courage, and participation, and how saying yes to Jesus’ healing can bring freedom not only to us, but to the people we love most. And remember, I'd love to connect more on Instagram, where you'll find me at @donnaajones. And don’t forget to subscribe so you don’t miss a single episode! Xo, Donna Key Takeaways: 0:03:35 - Origin of Collide Ministry and How Jesus Wants to Heal our Hurt 0:07:54 - Closet Breakdown as Catalyst for Healing 0:09:14 - Jesus Invites Us to Participate in Our Own Healing 0:12:50 - “You Should Be Fine” Myth in Christian Culture 0:20:18 - The One Thing We Think Will Fix Us (Misplaced Hope) and Why Pain Avoidance Never Leads to Healing What We Talk About Willow’s story behind her ministry, Collide What happens when wounded people collide with each other Why Jesus leaves people more whole, not more broken The misconception that Christians should “just be fine” How pain avoidance keeps us stuck Why our emotions can reveal places that still need healing Practical first steps toward healing How our healing impacts our families and relationships Wounded Collisions Willow explains that we all carry wounds, and when those wounds go unhealed, they can collide with the people around us, creating more hurt. But when we collide with Jesus, He invites us into healing so we can become more whole—and bring more healing, not more pain, into the world. A First Step Toward Healing: Ask yourself: If Jesus took my hand and walked me toward help and healing, what first step would He invite me to take today?

In Episode 189 of Facts vs Feelings, Ryan Detrick, Chief Market Strategist at Carson Group, and Sonu Varghese, Chief Macro Strategist at Carson Group, break down the disconnect between how people feel about the economy and what the hard data is actually showing. They connect the dots between oil prices, inflation expectations, Treasury yields, and why markets may not be reacting to geopolitical headlines the way many investors expect.It's a real-time look at the K-shaped economy: tighter budgets at the bottom, resilient spending at the top.Ryan and Sonu walk through stretched momentum after an eight-week rally, sector rotation beneath the surface, and another massive earnings season. They also explain why private AI investments are quietly becoming a meaningful contributor to public company profits, something many investors still aren't fully accounting for.Key Takeaways:Oil prices, Treasury yields, and inflation expectations remain tightly connected even when markets appear calm.Consumer behavior is splitting across income levels, reinforcing the idea of a K-shaped economy.Soft data like sentiment surveys continues diverging from hard data like earnings and employment.Earnings, buyback activity, and AI exposure are reshaping market leadership.Market momentum remains strong, but sector leadership underneath the surface keeps rotating.Bond markets may be the biggest force shaping Fed expectations and investor behavior goingJump to:3:06 — Strait Tensions and Oil Prices6:41 — The All-Electric Ferrari Debate8:39 — Consumer Strain Signals13:15 — Consumer Sentiment Hits Record Lows21:37 — Home Water Leaks and Insurance Headaches25:18 — Sector Breadth and Market Leadership33:15 — Momentum Crowding and the Win Streak37:41 —Earnings and Buybacks45:01 — Private AI Valuations Inside Public Earnings48:13 —Health Data and AI Coaching50:44 — Chicago Live Show Details54:00 — Grading Powell and New Fed Risks1:05:12 — Fed Hike Odds and Week AheadConnect with Ryan:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryandetrick/• X: https://x.com/RyanDetrickConnect with Sonu:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonu-varghese-phd/• X: https://x.com/sonusvarghese?lang=enQuestions about the show?

Your nine-year-old says another girl on her soccer team is pretty, and now she's worried she might be gay. How do you respond?In this episode, Elizabeth Urbanowicz works through a real parent's question and gives Christian families three biblical truths to teach their kids:We are all drawn to beauty by design, because God Himself is the source of all beauty.It is natural to be drawn to people of the same sex we want to be like, not be with.Even a child who grows up experiencing same-sex attraction can still honor God in that struggle.Along the way, Elizabeth shares stories from her own middle school years and a single profound question from a friend in apologetics that reframes the conversation entirely.

The Amanda and West situation on Summer House has everyone debating one big question… what do you do when feelings for a friend become something more?In this solo episode of From Mrs. to Ms., Andrea dives into the complicated reality of friendship, attraction, loyalty, timing, situationships, emotional intimacy, and whether suppressing feelings actually works.Should you risk the friendship?

In this episode, we explore Hebrews 11 and discover that real faith is not built on visible proof, emotional experiences, or religious performance—but on trusting the unshakable character of God. Looking at the “Faith Hall of Fame,” we'll see how biblical faith looks backward at God's faithfulness, forward to His promises, and trusts Jesus even in the uncertainty of the present moment.--The Unveiling Mormonism podcast pulls back the curtain on Mormon history, culture and doctrine.

Email us at podcast@pursueGOD.org.Donate Now--Hebrews 11 and Real Biblical FaithWe live in a world that wants visible proof for everything. People trust what they can measure, touch, and verify. But Hebrews 11 teaches that real faith goes beyond what we can physically see.Hebrews 11:1 (NLT) says:“Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see.”The author of Hebrews was writing to people who were tempted to go back to religious systems because following Jesus had become difficult. They were losing comfort, security, and approval. Hebrews reminds them that true faith is not rooted in visible religion or performance—it is rooted in Jesus.Faith Looks BackwardHebrews 11:3 says that by faith we understand God created the universe by His command. Biblical faith begins by trusting God as Creator and believing He is sovereign over all things.If God spoke the universe into existence, then He is powerful enough to sustain us today.Faith Looks ForwardThe chapter then walks through the stories of Abel, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and others who trusted God even when they didn't receive everything they were promised during their lifetime.Hebrews 11:13 (NLT) says:“All these people died still believing what God had promised them.”Their faith was not based on comfort or earthly success. Their confidence rested in the character of God and the promise of something better ahead.Abraham is a perfect example. God promised him a nation, yet Abraham died owning only a burial plot. Still, he trusted God.Biblical faith is not about getting everything we want right now. It is about trusting God even when life feels uncertain.Faith Is About JesusHebrews 11 points us toward Jesus. The Old Testament believers looked forward to the coming Messiah, but today we live after the cross and resurrection.Faith is not something we manufacture through religious effort or perfect feelings. Faith means trusting the finished work of Jesus and relying on God's promises even when we cannot fully see the outcome.Hebrews 11 reminds us to:Look backward at God's faithfulnessLook forward to God's promisesTrust Jesus in the present momentHebrews 11:6 (NLT) says:“And it is impossible to please God without faith.”Real faith is not about performance—it's about dependence on God.

What if the secret to scaling your business by 30X wasn't found in a spreadsheet, but in your own emotional awareness?In this episode, John Gallagher sits down with Randy Lyman, physicist, entrepreneur, and author of The Third Element.

In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with life coach and light therapist Alysia Humphries to talk about something many parents and loved ones quietly carry: tying our sense of peace and worth to how someone else is doing.Alysia gently shares why making our emotional well-being dependent on another person can unintentionally place a heavy burden on the relationship. We discuss the importance of remembering that we are not anyone else's savior—that role belongs to Jesus Christ—and why our healing matters too.This conversation is a tender reminder that caring for ourselves is not selfish. There is a difference between being self-centered and honoring our own needs, emotions, and stewardship. God cares deeply not only about our loved ones, but about us as well.If you've been exhausted from carrying the weight of someone else's choices or struggles, this episode offers wisdom, hope, and permission to begin healing yourself too.Free workbook pages at NurtureMyLight.comConnect with Alysia on Instagram Connect with Shiree at ⁠shireebest.com⁠ Join the⁠ "Just Love Them" Facebook group⁠Email Shiree at imlivinginjoy@gmail.com

When family life is hard, friendships feel distant, and self-doubt creeps in, it's easy to feel utterly alone — even as a person of faith. In this honest and tender episode, Vivian Bricker writes from her own season of struggle, reminding us that we don't have to pretend to be okay. The pressure many Christians feel to present a "perfect" life to the world is not from God — and our present difficulties are never a sign that He has turned His back on us. He is not cursing us. He is not teaching us a lesson. He is simply with us. Drawing from the brief but powerful book of Haggai, Vivian points to a message God spoke directly to His people in the middle of their rebuilding: "I am with you," declares the Lord. That same word is spoken over you today. Just as God was present with the Jews as they restored what had been broken, He is present with you as you rebuild whatever has been lost in your own life. You are never too far gone. You are never a lost cause. And you are never, ever alone. Today's Bible Verse "Then Haggai, the Lord's messenger, gave this message of the Lord to the people: 'I am with you,' declares the Lord." — Haggai 1:13 Ponder Today Your struggles are not a sign of God's disapproval. Hardship is not punishment. God does not work like karma — He loves you freely, and your difficult season is not evidence that He has turned away. Feelings are not facts. You may feel far from God, but feeling alone and being alone are two very different things. His presence is not dependent on your emotions. You don't have to pretend. The pressure to appear perfect before others is not from God. Bring your real, unfiltered self to Him — He already knows, and He is not going anywhere. God speaks the same word to you that He spoke through Haggai. In the middle of your rebuilding, in the middle of your mess, He declares: I am with you. No one is too far gone. Restoration and redemption are available to you in every season. All you have to do is go to Him in prayer and ask for His help. A Prayer for You Today Dear God, I praise You that You are always with me. Help me take this truth to heart and meditate on it always. There are times when I feel far from You — but I know that is a feeling, not a fact. I choose to rely on the truth of Your love, goodness, and hope rather than my own doubts. Whether times are good or hard, help me remember that You go before me through every high mountain and deep valley. You have been good to me, and all praise belongs to You. Amen.

She said no. You got down on one knee, opened the box, asked the question, and she said no. Not "I need time." Not "maybe later." She said no. So now what? In Episode 542, the crew tackles one of the most vulnerable questions a man can face: what do you do when your feelings are telling you one thing, but the data is telling you something completely different? A brother writes in after proposing to his girlfriend of several years, only to hear her say she's not ready. He's confused, hurt, and stuck between staying or walking away. ET, Karl, CJ, and Jemal break down why feelings will lie to you every single time, and why the data never does. ET gets raw about the moment Dede told him she didn't feel safe, not physically, but emotionally and mentally. How his ego wanted to defend what he'd built, but the data told him something else entirely. He shares how he got off the road for four months, gave her predictability, and watched their marriage transform because he stopped going with his feelings and started going with the facts. Karl brings the "what by when" accountability framework that keeps you honest. Jemal drops the vision about getting in front of your future, how he started his daughters' 529 plans when they were toddlers, and why Yani just graduated from Michigan State debt free. CJ tells the Slim Thug story, the moment he reached out to a Houston legend to help an artist he was mentoring, got ghosted, and realized the most important lesson of his career: stop asking people to do for you what you need to learn how to do yourself. They also break down why Joe Jackson energy isn't just for parenting, it's for every area of life where you're trying to build something real. From book covers to corporate stages to marriage, this episode will challenge you to stop letting your feelings run your life and start letting the data lead. If you've ever been rejected, corrected, or redirected and didn't know what to do next, this conversation is for you. Because your feelings will tell you to quit. The data will tell you to adjust. And the difference between the two is the difference between staying stuck and leveling up. Timestamps:

Emmanuelle Chriqui (Entourage, Superman and Lois) joins us this week for a deeply honest conversation about the loss, anxiety, and identity shifts that nobody saw from the outside. Emmanuelle opens up about both of her parents passing, the grounded calm that hides a more anxious interior, and the brutal stretch on Superman and Lois when her manager and dear friend took his life and she didn't know if she could keep going. We also talk about feeling boxed in by Sloan after Entourage, how rejection has changed for her with age, and the small daily practices that keep her in one piece.

Most people say they want the truth, but the moment it shows up, they call the messenger a villain. This episode picks up where the Joe Jackson conversation left off and turns the mirror around. The real question isn't whether Joe was too hard on Michael. It's why we keep demonizing every coach, mentor, and visionary with the gift to push us toward what we say we want. DISCLAIMER: Our focus in this episode is not the Jackson family, and we are not endorsing or excusing abuse of any kind. Our focus is what happens when people push us because they see we are capable of more, and get demonized for it. The Jackson story is a starting point, not the subject.The guys dig into why visionaries always get villainized, why our relationship with trauma is broken, and the difference between feedback and validation. Karl shares the "Carlos" moment that changed how he receives criticism. ET tells the Mr. Gene swim instructor story that put this entire philosophy to the test with his own son. If you've ever fired the person trying to save you, this one is for you. In this episode: Why every visionary, from Moses to Joe Jackson, gets demonized during the process Why you can't receive help unless it comes wrapped exactly the way you want it The difference between looking for feedback and looking for validation How ET almost fired the swim instructor who taught his entire family to swim How to narrate your own story without playing the victim CHAPTERS: Chapters 00:00:00 Opening: Karl OS - The New Operating System 00:01:39 Welcome and Team Introductions: The Michael Jackson Movie Discussion 00:03:24 Did Michael Jackson Play the Victim His Whole Life? 00:04:15 Joe Jackson: Visionary or Villain? 00:23:06 The Gary, Indiana Reality Check 00:25:01 Feelings vs. Goals: Why Most People Stay Stuck 00:28:35 The Mr. Jean Swimming Lesson Story 00:37:12 Stop Looking for Validation, Start Looking for Feedback 00:44:20 Karl's Transformation: From Soft to Strategic 00:43:17 Next Level Speakers Conference Announcement 01:01:02 Kalm Down with Karl: Stop Living Your Life Like a Question 01:01:50 Mal's Millionaire Moment: Your Pension is Dead 01:04:02 The Secret Project Reveal: What Karl and Mal Are Building KALM DOWN WITH KARL: Stop living your life like a question and live like the answer that you are. God saw a problem on the planet and created you as the solution. Stop walking around uncertain. You are the answer. MAL'S MILLIONAIRE MOMENT: One pension is too close to no pension. Jemal breaks down how the average career span matches the average mortgage span, meaning you can have a property fully paid off by the time you retire from your day job. That's your second pension. He also shares how he turned his daughter's graduation gift into a down payment on her first property at 22.
