"You're awakening a dragon. Public anger is stirring." A warning from Rutger Bregman to Silicon Valley. The historian is sounding the alarm over the existential risks posed by unrestrained technology and artificial intelligence in his final BBC Reith Lecture. He calls on those in power to assume responsibility, and help shape a future worthy of hope. Bregman envisions 'moral revolutions' as the path forward and urges us all to come together to take on this task. "Small groups of committed citizens have bent the arc of history towards justice. And whatever the outcome, there is beauty in trying, beauty in every act of courage, in every spark of truth."

We are going to spend the next 5 weeks talking about prayer, and Christine Caine is here to help us kick off that conversation.

We talk about her prayer life as an activist, her turning 60 this year and continuing to run her race harder, olive trees, and what Jesus tells the disciples to pray for in Matthew 9.

What if the greatest tragedy isn't dying too soon, but living without purpose? Your life was made to be filled with intentionally, a God adventure, and purpose – it's time to live like you believe that! In this episode, Christine Caine unpacks Psalm 90 and challenges us to stop drifting through life and start living intentionally with eternity in view. With honesty, biblical insight, and personal reflection, she reminds us that our days are numbered – and that truth is meant to awaken wisdom, joy, and purpose so we can make every day count for the glory of God. ✨ Discover today: ● Why numbering your days leads to wisdom and intentional living ● How to stop drifting and start living on purpose ● What it means to live fully in time while keeping eternity in view

If you're over 40 and feel like the old "eat less, move more" advice isn't working anymore, you're not alone. In this episode, I'm joined by Alicia Jones to talk about why most women are falling short on protein in midlife — and the simple, realistic shifts that can support muscle, metabolism, and steady energy without extreme dieting. If you're over 40 and feel like your energy, strength, or body composition has shifted — you're not imagining it. One of the biggest gaps I see in midlife women is protein intake. Most women are simply not getting enough, and in perimenopause and menopause that can quietly affect muscle, metabolism, cravings, inflammation, and how you feel day to day. In this episode of Living Life Naturally, I'm joined by fitness and weight loss strategist Alicia Jones, who helps women over 45 transform their health through realistic nutrition and training strategies. We talk about what changes during hormonal transition, why extreme calorie restriction can backfire, and how supporting lean muscle can make midlife health and weight goals feel more doable again. In This Episode, We Discuss: Why most women over 40 are falling short on protein (and why it matters more in midlife) How perimenopause and menopause can increase muscle loss risk Why protecting lean muscle supports metabolic rate and long-term quality of life Protein targets to aim for: 20–30 grams per meal (and daily guidance based on body weight/activity) Why drastic calorie cutting can make results harder in midlife Easy protein strategies that don't require a complete diet overhaul Smart swaps (like higher-protein yogurt options) and how to read labels Added sugars vs naturally occurring sugars (what to pay attention to) A simple "log one day of food" approach to identify hidden gaps (especially protein and fiber) Midlife fitness mindset shifts: quality over quantity, resistance training, and practical ways to add intensity into everyday movement Key Takeaway Midlife doesn't require harsher restriction — it requires smarter support. When protein and strength are prioritized, many women notice improvements in energy, satiety, strength, and body composition — without the burnout of constant dieting. About Alicia Jones Alicia Jones helps transform the health and lives of women over 45 through her fitness and weight loss strategies. She has appeared on various health and wellness television programs and produced and hosted Health Matters and The View: Health and Wellness on Rogers TV.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the responsibility of helping your kids see the world the way God does? Or maybe parenting leaves you feeling a little disoriented—like you're spinning upside-down? You're not alone. We all love our kids and want them to have a flourishing faith and embrace God's upside-down Kingdom.  Today, we're honored to have Matt Jones and Janel Greig on the show. They are co-hosts of Summit's newest podcast: Upside-Down Parenting! In the podcast, they offer practical insights, biblical wisdom, and encouragement to help you navigate the tough times and everyday challenges of parenting.

Perimenopause isn't just hot flashes and mood shifts — for many women, it can be a silent fertility disruptor. In today's episode of Living Life Naturally, Lynne Wadsworth sits down with Dr. Jaime Knopman, double board-certified reproductive endocrinologist and fertility expert, to talk about what's really happening with egg quality, ovulation, IVF outcomes, and why so many women feel dismissed or misdiagnosed in midlife. We also explore practical ways to advocate for better care — from tracking cycles and symptoms, to bringing a "plus one" to appointments, to understanding why hormones can be tricky to measure in a single blood draw. And if someone you love is navigating infertility, Dr. Knopman shares one of the most powerful reminders: presence matters more than perfect words. You'll learn: How perimenopause impacts fertility and IVF success Why cycles become irregular and timing gets harder What egg freezing can do (and when it's most effective) Why symptom + cycle tracking can be more helpful than "one lab test" How to advocate for yourself at the doctor — and what to bring to appointment How to support a loved one going through infertility (without saying the wrong thing) Guest: Dr. Jaime Knopman — Medical Director of Chick Mission; former Director of Fertility Preservation at CCRM NY; Castle Connolly Top Doctor; author of Own Your Fertility. In this episode, we cover: Perimenopause & fertility Why egg quantity and quality decline in perimenopause How irregular ovulation can make conception harder What it means for IVF outcomes and pregnancy viability Egg freezing & planning ahead Why freezing eggs earlier can change options later "Serving as your own egg donor" — what that really means Why women get missed or dismissed Menopause "having its moment" — and why that matters Why infertility deserves to be part of the menopause conversation too How to support someone in infertility The power of simply showing up What to say when you're afraid of saying the wrong thing Being present in someone else's discomfort Hormone testing + advocating for care Why hormones aren't a simple snapshot The value of tracking cycles + symptoms   Why progesterone can swing dramatically Questions to bring to your appointment + why a "plus one" helps HRT, bioidenticals & pellets Why symptom relief often matters more than chasing a number Different options work for different bodies (no one-size-fits-all) Mentioned in this episode: ·         Book: Own Your Fertility: From Egg Freezing to Surrogacy — How to Take Charge of Your Body and Your Future (also available at Amazon or Barnes & Noble) Connect with Dr. Jaime Knopman Website: https://drjaimeknopman.com/ Connect with Lynne Join the Facebook community: Energized Healthy Women's Club         Website:  https://holistic-healthandwellness.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/holistichealthandwellnessllc Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lynnewadsworth LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/lynnewadsworth   

What does it truly mean to flourish—and why does Scripture present flourishing as God's original design, not a modern ambition? In this opening episode of Called to Flourish, Robert Wachter, Global Marketing Director, sits down with Jay Bransford, President & CEO of Best Christian Workplaces, to explore God's heart for human flourishing. Drawing from Genesis and the words of Jesus, Jay reflects on how true flourishing flows not from striving, but from abiding in Christ—and how leadership is ultimately a shepherding calling shaped by humility, integrity, and trust in God's work. You'll gain biblical insight on: • God's original design for flourishing • Why flourishing begins with abiding in Christ • How grace—not self-effort—leads to lasting fruit • What faithful leadership looks like in God's economy

Host: Jen Brown & Erin BahrenfussTOPICS: Focus to Flourish 2026

First Baptist Arlington, hosts Katy Reed Hodges and Dr. Dennis Wiles gather around the mic to unpack Flourishing.In this episode, the team reflects on the first Sunday of New Year and Dr. Wiles' sermon, Designed to Flourish! -by discussing their theme of "flourishing together" and their upcoming study of the Book of John.The Tell Me More podcast hosts return for 2025 with excitement about their church's new focus on "flourishing together." Drawing from the powerful imagery of a super bloom in Death Valley, they illustrate how God can bring extraordinary life from seemingly barren places. This becomes their central metaphor for the year - that under the right spiritual conditions, people who seem dormant can experience incredible growth and transformation.The discussion centers on their upcoming study of the Book of John, which contains rich imagery about abiding, gardening, and spiritual fruitfulness. They emphasize that true flourishing isn't about material prosperity or the absence of pain, but about experiencing God's goodness even in difficult circumstances. The hosts share their partnership with the Global Flourishing Study and their commitment to intentional discipleship. They believe that consistently putting oneself in the right spiritual conditions - through Bible study, community, and faithful obedience - will bear fruit over time, not just in individual lives but in ways that bless everyone around them.

If you've spent years — or decades — starting diets on Monday, feeling "good" or "bad" based on what you ate, or letting the scale decide your mood for the day… this episode is a deep breath of fresh air. In this powerful Tea & Truth conversation, Lynne invites you to gently step out of diet culture and into a new way of relating to food, your body, and your midlife health: nourish, don't punish. You'll learn why strict dieting backfires in midlife (especially with shifting hormones), how it impacts your metabolism, mood, cravings, and self-worth — and what it looks like to support your body with kind, steady, hormone-friendly nourishment instead of restriction and shame. This isn't about giving up on your health. It's about finally choosing approaches that actually work for women in perimenopause, menopause, and beyond.

What does it actually mean to grow as a Christian? In Part 1 of our new sermon series Growth: The Work of God, we begin at the very beginning — with seeds. Using Jesus' Parable of the Sower from Matthew 13, this message explores how spiritual growth starts, why it sometimes stalls, and what it takes to flourish in Christ no matter the season. From the Garden of Eden to the cross of Christ, Scripture reveals that God is a God of planting, cultivating, and multiplying life. While salvation is a gift, growth is intentional — and the condition of the soil matters. In this message, you'll discover: Why every follower of Jesus starts as a seed What prevents spiritual growth from taking root How Jesus restores access to abundant life Why church, Scripture, and prayer are essential for growth How your life was designed to bear fruit that blesses others Whether you're new to faith, returning to church, or have followed Jesus for decades, this message reminds us that there is always more — more life, more freedom, more flourishing in Christ

What if the simple act of reading could transform our entire year? This message invites us into a powerful journey through Scripture, beginning with Psalm 1's beautiful promise that those who delight in God's Word become like trees planted by streams of water—flourishing, fruitful, and deeply rooted. The contrast is striking: while the wicked are compared to worthless chaff blown away by wind, those who meditate on God's teaching become weighty, worthy people of substance. We're challenged to read the entire Bible this year, not as a burdensome task but as a life-giving practice that takes only about 20 minutes daily. The Hebrew word 'Torah' isn't just law—it's God's comprehensive instruction, like an archer shooting an arrow toward a target. That target is Christ-likeness, and every word of Scripture aims our lives in that direction. As we engage with God's Word, we discover three profound benefits: a secure identity rooted in our spiritual heritage, stability that withstands life's storms, and daily nourishment that produces the fruit of the Spirit. The message reminds us that God's primary goal isn't just what we accomplish but who we become—strong, noble, beautiful people fit for His eternal kingdom.

What does it truly mean to flourish spiritually in our modern world? This exploration of Psalm 1 invites us into a profound meditation on the two paths set before every person: the way of blessing and the way of warning. We're confronted with a stark reality—our world is saturated with voices claiming to offer us the good life, from social media influencers to news channels to well-meaning advice-givers. Yet wisdom calls us to discernment: whose counsel are we actually following? The psalm presents a vivid progression of spiritual decline—from walking with the wicked, to standing with sinners, to sitting with scoffers—a gradual descent from activity to passivity, from movement to being stuck. But the blessed person? They delight in God's instruction, meditating on it day and night. This meditation isn't merely intellectual exercise or box-checking; it's like a dog with a bone, turning it over, savoring it, extracting every bit of nourishment. The promise is beautiful: we become like trees planted by streams of water, bearing fruit in season, leaves never withering. Yet here's the tension we must wrestle with—none of us can achieve this righteousness on our own. We all fall short. This is where the psalm points us forward to Jesus, the true vine to whom we must abide. It's only through Christ that we gain access to this flourishing life, and reading Scripture becomes our lifeline to knowing Him more deeply, not just knowing about Him, but truly knowing Him in intimate relationship.

It doesn't have to always feel so hard or so intense. AND, when you step away  from a long time habit; (for me in this case: saying goodbye to a 17 year relationship with social media) change takes time, lightness, humor, peacefulness make room, patterns naturally unravel and unwind and (un) conscious behaviors recalibrate when stepping into stillness, quiet and calm. Is peaceful boring? If peace is what I want to feel can it feel satisfying as my human nature? Stable and Steady YES!Here are some things I am entering the new year with: GROUNDiNG: (for me, I am wearing Earthing Harmony shoes with a copper ring on an acupuncture point that take a month to break in, so I'll keep you posted on how that slows me down for the present because everyone has their own unique experience).Clearing resistance, opening up to a new possibility, opening heart to life, digesting the past necessary shocks to the system can be learning curves, challenges and extremes. Sometimes the middle ground is not a default setting and smooth sailing can be a skill to genuinely appreciate with routine, predictability, repetition and clarity (for me, emotionally dense experiences to catalyze and get to where I am now has allowed me to return to being with what is: when the nervous system receives a lot of shocks - coming back into growth, evolution, perspective shifts and thankfulness).One of my triggers recently said: When I am not feeling heard it can feel easy to believe the idea "what if I feel like this forever?" No more strict rules or obligations. No more judgement/punishment energy. No more burdens. Opening ups to self forgiveness and remembrance. Time for benevolence and care and holding tenderness with LOVE! It's easy for me to give love. It's my edge to open my heart to receiving love in all ways and support. I deepen my capacity for leading with heart and generosity. I trust you life:)I love you!Want to support the show: https://www.venmo.com/u/magicmomentsplay

Happy New Year!! This is a check-in episode where I'm chatting honestly about resolutions, burning out on your dreams, purpose, and how to make this year feel exciting and sustainable instead of exhausting or empty at the end. I share why most New Year's resolutions don't stick, not because you lack discipline, but because the goals and intentions are usually built on pressure instead of inner alignment. We talk about slowing down, honoring your true day-to-day capacity, and shifting from an outcome focused goal to intentions that support your nervous system, your cycle, and your relationship with yourself. What I want for you more than anything is to feel confident in the way you move in the world and within your purpose- because that's the best way we can all make heaven on earth! Let's make this the best year (in whatever way we deem fit) of our lives!If you are in the LA area and are interested in coming to a Yin + Sound - be sure to follow @amandavsevilla on instagram for more updates on the next ones!===Connect with me for daily inspiration, resources, and upcoming events to live your purpose:www.amandavsevilla.com/  Instagram.com/flourishwithpurposepodcast/Instagram.com/amandavsevilla/Tiktok.com/@amandavsevilla/Youtube.com/@amandavsevillaBy accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that the entire contents are the property of Amanda Sevilla, or used by Amanda Sevilla with permission, and are protected under U.S. and international copyright and trademark laws.

In this episode of Anchored by the Sword, I'm joined by author, speaker, and former corporate executive Ava Pennington to talk about what it truly means to flourish—not by striving harder, but by surrendering more deeply to the Holy Spirit.Ava shares her journey from the corporate world to full-time writing and teaching, her powerful testimony of faith shaped over decades, and the sacred grief of losing her husband of 40 years to cancer. With honesty and wisdom, she reminds us that grief is not linear, seasons change, and God remains our anchor through it all.We dive into her newest book, Flourish: Grace-Centered Practices to Protect and Grow a Fruitful Life in Christ, and unpack the Fruit of the Spirit—why we often feel like we “don't have enough,” and how God grows fruit in us through surrender, not self-effort.In This Episode, We Talk About: • Leaving the corporate world to follow God's call • Walking through grief with hope and eternal perspective • Why the Fruit of the Spirit is grown through surrender, not striving • Recognizing seasons and giving ourselves grace within them • Learning to draw strength from God instead of ourselvesThis conversation is rich, grounding, and deeply encouraging for anyone navigating loss, calling, or a longing for deeper spiritual growth.Bio:Ava Pennington is an accomplished author, speaker, and Bible teacher whose previous work, Reflections on the Names of God, won third place in the 2023 Golden Scroll Awards.

About Dr. Glenn Livington: Dr Glenn Livingston, Ph.D. is a veteran psychologist and longtime CEO of a multi-million-dollar consulting firm which has serviced several Fortune 500 clients in the food industry. Doctor Glenn's work, theories, and research have been published in major periodicals like The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times and The Chicago Sun Times. Disillusioned by what traditional psychology had to offer overweight and/or food obsessed individuals, Doctor Livingston spent several decades researching the nature of bingeing and overeating via work with his own patients AND a self-funded research program with more than 40,000 participants. Most important, however, was his own personal journey out of obesity and food prison to a normal, healthy weight and a much more lighthearted relationship with food. Show Notes: If food feels like it has power over you — whether that means occasional overeating, persistent cravings, or feeling stuck in a cycle of "starting tomorrow" — this episode offers a radically different and compassionate approach. In this powerful conversation, Glenn Livingston, psychologist and author of Defeat Your Cravings, explains why willpower is not the solution to food struggles — and how lasting freedom comes from learning to quiet the brain's emergency response around food. Dr. Glenn shares how cravings are rooted in the nervous system, why deprivation backfires, and how nourishing your body properly allows the rational brain to regain control. Together, we explore the science behind cravings, binge urges, and emotional eating — including the concept of the cravings extinction curve, why cravings intensify before they disappear, and how self-care, sleep, and nutrition play a critical role in calming the brain. This episode offers hope, clarity, and practical tools for anyone who wants peace with food — without dieting, restriction, or shame. ✨ What You'll Learn ·         Why willpower fails — and what works instead ·         How cravings are driven by the fight-or-flight nervous system ·         The science of the cravings extinction curve ·         Why nourishing your body reduces binge urges ·         How sleep, stress, and decision fatigue impact cravings ·         How to stop "starting tomorrow" and work with the present moment ·         Why extreme diets make cravings worse, not better ·         How to regain calm, control, and choice around food

You can be living what looks like a meaningful life, and *still* feel tired, disconnected, and burned out. In today's episode, I'm sharing a very helpful perspective through the lens of Ayurveda that has helped me reframe the “burned out” feeling I used to get on this journey. We're going to talk about the Ayurvedic Doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, but less as a mind-body constitution and more as natural phases we move through while living out our life purpose. I'll share why seeing purpose in this way- as a cyclical process that includes seasons of creativity, action, and rest- can help us feel more empowered in sharing our life mission. We're going to dive into how chronic stress, burnout, and feeling out of alignment can come from ignoring our own mind-body-soul rhythms that naturally guide us through the years. Ayurveda, in particular, is such an amazing tool for us to know when it's time to fuel the dreams, put the pedal to the metal, or when to slow down (and without feeling guilty or like our dream life will be stalled). Press play, and let this episode remind you that you're never truly “behind” in living your purpose, you can just be moving through a new and renewing season!===Connect with me for daily inspiration, resources, and upcoming events to live your purpose:www.amandavsevilla.com/  Instagram.com/flourishwithpurposepodcast/Instagram.com/amandavsevilla/Tiktok.com/@amandavsevilla/Youtube.com/@amandavsevillaBy accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that the entire contents are the property of Amanda Sevilla, or used by Amanda Sevilla with permission, and are protected under U.S. and international copyright and trademark laws.

In this episode of the Moral Imagination Podcast I speak with Magatte Wade about her book, The Heart of Cheetah, her personal journey, entrepreneurial ventures, and her vision for a free and prosperous Africa. Magatte was key voice and important influence in the film I directed, Poverty, Inc. She is a force for promoting freedom, the dignity of the person, and entrepreneurial solutions to poverty in Africa and throughout the world. I've know Magatte for many years and am delighted to have her on the podcast. We discuss the misconceptions surrounding African poverty and the need for economic freedom and institutions of justice – private property, rule of law, and ability to participate in the formal economy - for fostering opportunity and human flourishing for the poor. At the end of our conversation we also talk about poverty in America, the American dream from the perspective of an immigrant, emphasizing the need for a balance between material prosperity and moral values. Magatte emphasizes that Africa will only thrive through entrepreneurship, political and economic freedom, and a commitment to rule of law and human dignity.Biography Magatte Wade is founder of SkinIsSkin, and Senior Fellow at Atlas Network, the leading organization of African free-market think tanks. She was listed as a Forbes “20 Youngest Power Women in Africa,” a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum, and a TED Global Africa Fellow.
