In this episode, we continue our series on St Thomas Aquinas' Five Ways by exploring his Third Way: the Argument from Contingency. Aquinas begins with a simple but profound observation: the things we encounter in the world don't have to exist. You exist, but you could have failed to exist. The same is true of trees, mountains, planets, stars, and everything else we encounter in the created world. Philosophers describe things like these as contingent beings.But if everything were contingent, i.e. if everything depended upon something else for its existence, then what ultimately explains why anything exists at all? Aquinas argues that contingent beings must ultimately depend upon a Necessary Being: a reality that does not receive its existence from anything else and cannot fail to exist.In this episode, we discuss:What "contingency" means in philosophyThe difference between contingent and necessary beingsWhy things in the world don't contain the reason for their own existenceWhy a collection of contingent beings cannot ultimately explain itselfAquinas' argument for the existence of a Necessary BeingWhy the Argument from Contingency does not require the universe to have a beginning in timeHow Aquinas' Third Way differs from the Argument from Motion and the Argument from Efficient CausalityHow Aquinas' first three Ways point towards the same ultimate reality from three different starting pointsThis episode is part of our series exploring St Thomas Aquinas' Five Ways and the classical philosophical arguments for the existence of God. The First Way begins with change and leads us to an Unmoved Mover. The Second begins with efficient causality and leads us to a First Efficient Cause. And the Third begins with contingent existence and leads us to a Necessary Being.Whether you're interested in philosophy, Catholic theology, apologetics, metaphysics, or the relationship between faith and reason, I hope these episodes help make Aquinas' thought more accessible and encourage you to explore his arguments for yourself.SUPPORT THE PODCASTThis podcast relies 100% on the generosity of viewers.

What does it actually mean to live the good life? This week on Don't Miss This, Dave and Grace dive into Proverbs and Ecclesiastes to discover the patterns of living that lead to a life filled with wisdom, happiness, purpose, faith, and connection. From learning to rise again after we fall, to speaking words that bring life, embracing the season we're in, building meaningful relationships, trusting God, and simply going out and doing good—these books offer timeless wisdom for navigating everyday life. We'll also explore Proverbs 31 and what it means to be a person of valor: someone courageous, resilient, capable, faithful, strong, and willing to make a difference. The good life doesn't mean a perfect life. It means learning to trust God and allowing Him to direct our path through every season.
In today's increasingly decentralized workplaces, leaders often need to get things done without having direct authority over the people they depend on. So how can you influence colleagues, clients, vendors, and even senior executives without simply telling them what to do? Pamela Meyer, founder and CEO of Calibrate, says the answer is learning to read the room—and understanding the informal networks, emotional dynamics, and hidden sources of power that shape decisions. She explains five paths to indirect influence: becoming an influence spotter, a backchanneler, a precision mover, a connector, and a pulse reader. Meyer also explains why the best influencers focus less on how they're performing and more on what the people around them need. Meyer is the author of How to Read the Room: The Art and Science of Social Observation and the HBR article “Five Ways to Wield Influence When You Lack Authority.”
In this episode, we explore St Thomas Aquinas' Second Way, also known as the Argument from Efficient Causality. This is a classic cosmological argument for the existence of God.Aquinas begins with a simple observation: everything we encounter in the world has a cause. Houses are built by builders, paintings are painted by artists, and trees grow from seeds. But if every cause depends on another cause, where does the chain ultimately begin? Aquinas argues that there must be a First Efficient Cause that gives existence and causal power to everything else.In this episode, we discuss: What an efficient cause is Why nothing can be the efficient cause of itself The difference between temporal and hierarchical chains of causation Why Aquinas rejects an infinite regress of essentially ordered causes Peter Kreeft's "borrowed book" analogy How the Second Way differs from the Argument from Motion What Aquinas means by a First Efficient Cause Why this argument points toward God's existence without yet establishing every Christian belief about GodThis episode is part of our series on St Thomas Aquinas' Five Ways and the classical arguments for the existence of God. Whether you're interested in philosophy, Catholic theology, apologetics, metaphysics, or the relationship between faith and reason, I hope these episodes help make Aquinas' thought more accessible and encourage you to explore these remarkable arguments for yourself.SUPPORT THE PODCASTThis podcast relies 100% on the generosity of viewers.

Scarcity is natural, but abundance can be created.In this episode, I explain why free-market capitalism has been so effective at turning scarce resources into greater prosperity. From Julian Simon's famous wager to housing, energy, healthcare, AI, and data centers, the same economic lesson keeps appearing: prices communicate scarcity, entrepreneurs respond to opportunity, and competition encourages people to produce more.Markets aren't perfect, and capitalism doesn't guarantee every price will fall. But government price controls and restrictions often manage scarcity rather than solve it.The better question for policymakers is: What is preventing people from producing more?Listen to learn why human ingenuity, economic freedom, and market signals remain some of our greatest tools for creating abundance.

In this episode, we explore St Thomas Aquinas' First Way, also known as the Argument from Motion. This is one of the most influential philosophical arguments for the existence of God.Building on our introduction to cosmological arguments, we unpack Aquinas' reasoning step by step. What does he mean by “motion”? Why does every change require a cause? And how does observing change in the world lead Aquinas to conclude that there must be an Unmoved Mover upon whom everything else depends?In this episode, we discuss: What Thomas Aquinas means by “motion” The difference between potentiality and actuality Why nothing can move itself from potential to actual How chains of simultaneous cause and effect differ from causes stretching through time Aquinas' distinction between primary and secondary causes Why an infinite hierarchical series of causes cannot explain change The meaning of the Unmoved Mover Why Aquinas' First Way is a philosophical argument for God's existence, and not yet a complete proof of every Christian belief about God This episode is part of our series on St Thomas Aquinas' Five Ways and the classical arguments for the existence of God. Whether you're interested in philosophy, Catholic theology, apologetics, metaphysics, or the relationship between faith and reason, I hope these episodes help make Aquinas' thought more accessible and encourage you to explore his arguments for yourself.SUPPORT THE PODCASTThis podcast relies 100% on the generosity of viewers.

After a long break, we are back for Season 15! Join us as we begin discussing Philosophizing in Faith, a collection of essays by Réginald Garrigou-Lagrange, O.P., a 20th-century neo-Thomist philosopher and theologian. In this episode, we provide some historical background of who Garrigou-Lagrange was, and what neo-Thomism is, as well as discussing translator Matthew Minerd's introduction to the book. We then turn to the first essay, "On the Twofold Via inventionis and the Twofold Via iudicii According to St. Thomas", in which Lagrange discusses how we come to know God through temporal things, and how we know the world through science. We also discuss why people become Catholic, the relevance of St. Thomas Aquinas, and the issues with modern science. Follow us on X! Give us your opinions here!

In Mark 12:35–40, Jesus does two remarkable things. First, He affirms that David wrote Psalm 110 and that David spoke by the Holy Spirit, revealing Jesus' view of the inspiration and authority of Scripture—including the superscriptions. Second, He exposes five subtle forms of pride that can infect even the best of us. In this sermon, you'll discover why Jesus' teaching on Psalm 110 matters for the reliability of the Bible, the doctrine of inspiration, and the identity of the Messiah. You'll also examine Jesus' sobering warning against seeking earthly greatness through appearance, status, privilege, and religious performance. Jesus' warning is just as relevant today as it was in the temple courts. If you enjoy the episode, please consider subscribing to the podcast and leaving a 5-stars rating.

In this episode, I'm tackling one of the most confusing challenges parents face: how to support a highly sensitive child without wrapping them in cotton wool or pushing them too hard. If your child feels everything deeply - the party overwhelm, the criticism that undoes them, the emotional intensity that seems bigger than everyone else's - then you need this episode.I explain what high sensitivity actually is, how it overlaps with anxiety, ADHD and autism, and why so many parents misinterpret sensitivity as fragility or a sign that something is “wrong”.I walk you through five practical, evidence‑based strategies you can start using today to build your child's resilience without dismissing who they are.If you've ever worried that you're either protecting your child too much or not protecting them enough, this episode will give you the middle path - one that honours their depth, strengthens their confidence, and helps them grow into the extraordinary person they're wired to be.So take a seat, pour yourself a cuppa, and enjoy the conversation…Highlights from this episode:01:18 - The biggest mistake you will make05:22 - A flooded nervous system cannot take information08:14 - Manage, don't avoid10:40 - What adult do you want to raise?13:16 - Be your child's counter narrative15:19 - Be a role model

FIVE Ways to Improve Constipation by Melina Roberts
Poor leadership skills can ruin team morale. As a manager, you hold more power than you might think. Obviously, you can hire and fire your subordinates. You can also promote them… or not promote them. You may also have the ability to approve a raise. If not, you at least have the ability to conduct the annual review.In essence, your leadership skills and moral compass have a direct impact on their career. Even if you treat everyone fairly, your impact on their lives is unmistakable. This is why having a great boss is the number one wish of most employees. They often rank this above more vacation time and a bigger paycheck.So if you're looking to become that great boss so many teams desperately need, stick around for 5 reasons you really need to pay attention to your leadership skills!Show Notes: Five Ways that Poor Leadership Skills Can Ruin Team Morale(https://www.leadersinstitute.com/four-ways-poor-leadership-skills-can-ruin-team-morale/)
On this week's episode of Sense by Meg Faure, we explore the identity shift nobody prepares you for. Meg Faure hands the hosting mic to Madge Booth - founder of the MOMents podcast for working mums - and the conversation that follows is one of the most honest this podcast has ever held. What Is Matrescence?Matrescence is the term for the transition from woman to mother. Meg compares it directly to adolescence - with its hormonal upheaval, neurological rewiring, and complete identity reorganisation. The difference is that adolescence unfolds over years. Matrescence happens within hours of giving birth.Research shows that grey matter in the maternal brain changes fundamentally after birth and stays changed for up to two years. It doesn't mean cognitive loss - it means the brain's energy is being redirected towards keeping a new human alive. Primary maternal preoccupation is real, biological, and entirely normal. Grief and Love at the Same TimeOne of the most powerful themes in this conversation is the grief that lives alongside love. Meg is direct: you can adore your child completely and at the same time mourn the woman you used to be. The woman who could leave the house without a nappy bag. Who went to the toilet alone. Who had full cognitive agency over her own life.Returning to Work: The Juggle Nobody AcknowledgesThe majority of mothers return to work within months of giving birth. Meg unpacks what happens in that transition: the expectation to step back into your old professional mould, while carrying a permanent cognitive load that never fully switches off. At least until your children reach their mid-twenties, she says, there is never a minute of the day that you don't know where they are.Who Is Most Vulnerable?Some women face a harder transition. Meg identifies key risk factors: inadequate support structures, a history of anxiety or depression, fertility struggles or birth trauma, and the intergenerational patterns psychologist Fraiberg called ‘ghosts in the nursery'. Five Ways to Hold On to YourselfMeg offers five practical anchors for navigating this transition - especially for those without close family support: Name it. Knowing that matrescence is real is the first act of self-compassion. When it feels like a mess, name it. You don't have to have it perfect.Keep one anchor to your pre-baby self. One yoga class a week. One date night. One thing that is just yours.Build your village. Whether it's Paddle and Prams, Stroller Strides, or Baby Hub in Cape Town - find your community and invest there.Lower the bar deliberately. Say no to things. Let the laundry wait. Drop the balls that don't matter.You Are Not Less. You Are Becoming More.The identity shift nobody prepares you for is also the one that quietly prepares you for everything that comes next. Meg's closing words carry the whole episode: you have not lost yourself. You are being rewritten. The invisible developmental leap happening inside you - at the precise moment everyone is asking about the baby and not about you - is not weakness. It is the most significant transition of your adult life.The parts of you that feel like they're falling apart are quietly building something extraordinary. In the mess and the magic of this moment, you are not less. You are becoming more.ABOUT TODAY'S GUEST HOSTMadge Booth is a mum of two with a background in women's magazines and marketing.

The more hardcore and devoted you get to fitness, the more risk you bring that you might actually be doing things the wrong way and getting counterproductive results. In this episode, I break down 5 ways you may be screwing up your fitness goals—even if you’re consistent, disciplined, and training hard. We talk about why sleep, rest, recovery, and downtime are the foundation for everything else, why the body is a dynamic organism and not a machine you can program, and why you have to be careful about outsourcing your intuition to technology. I also dive into why VO2 max is overhyped, why zone 1 deserves more attention, how chronic cardio and narrow fitness goals can compromise longevity, and why so many people are missing the most important pieces of lifelong fitness: strength, power, and sprinting. In this episode, I reveal that the solution is simple: move frequently at a slow pace, lift regularly, and sprint occasionally. Whether you’re an athlete or someone focused on staying fit, strong, and capable throughout life, this episode will challenge how you think about training for true full-body functional fitness and longevity.

Let's work together! www.Mistyjayne.comIn this solo episode, Misty gets real about the exhausting cycle that keeps hairstylists and salon owners stuck — chasing the next goal in hopes it delivers the peace they're craving — and why that strategy keeps backfiring. Then she breaks down the exact practices she uses to give her overworked brain a genuine break — no crystals required.This one's for the logistical thinkers, the overachievers, the stylists who are so used to being “on” that the idea of sitting still sounds more stressful than the chaos itself. Misty shares five surprisingly simple mindfulness practices that actually work for people who hate the word “mindfulness.”

SUMMARY I brought a real story to Dr. Michelle this week. A small mistake on my part, a hurt little girl, a defensive dad at bedtime, and my wife catching my eye across the room. What unfolded was a live coaching moment I needed more than I knew. Dr. Michelle gently walked me back through what I missed, what was actually under the anger, and how to do the repair that actually reaches a daughter's heart. If you have ever blown it with your kids and tried to talk your way out of it instead of leaning in, this conversation is for you. Takeaways Anger is usually the front door. The real emotion sitting behind it is almost always sadness, fear, or confusion, and your kids feel that gap before you do. When your child tells the story of how you hurt them, the most powerful thing you can say is three words. Tell me more. Then stay there longer than feels comfortable. Defensiveness bombs the bridge to your kids' hearts and to their picture of God as Father. Compassion builds it. Luke 15 verse 20 gives a five step pattern any dad can follow. He saw, he was filled with compassion, he ran, he threw his arms around, he kissed. A consistent monthly daddy daughter date and a note in your own handwriting create anchors of memory your kids will carry into adulthood. Guest Dr. Michelle Watson Canfield is a licensed counselor, speaker, and the host of The Dad Whisperer podcast. She founded The Abba Project, a nine month group for dads of daughters between thirteen and thirty, and has spent the last fifteen plus years coaching fathers in the work of pursuing their daughters' hearts. She is the author of Dad, Here's What I Really Need from You and Let's Talk, and her writing on fatherhood has reached dads in all fifty states and around the world. Quotes "You guys are wired with tender hearts. Tough and tender is a powerful combination as a man." Dr. Michelle Watson Canfield "Under mad is usually sad or scared or confused. Lead with your heart more than your head." Dr. Michelle Watson Canfield "Tell me more. That's how she gets it out, and then it's not there between you anymore." Dr. Michelle Watson Canfield "Defensiveness bombs the bridge. Compassion builds it. That's the work of fathering a daughter's heart." Dr. Michelle Watson Canfield "Anchors of memory in a place. Find one or two spots that become yours together with your daughter." Dr. Michelle Watson Canfield
