Iain Thomas is a poet, author, and the Chief Innovation Officer at Sounds Fun—an advertising and creative agency that he co-founded with the belief that human creativity could be enhanced, rather than diminished, with the help of AI. It's a realization that actually began to dawn on Iain a few years prior, after his mother died. He wasn't sure how to explain death to his children, so he turned to an early version of ChatGPT for help—and was so impressed by the poetry of its responses that he came away convinced of AI's immense potential as a thought partner for his creative work. On this episode, Iain talks about using AI to make more space for the creative parts of your work, and why, in a world where everyone has access to the same tools, it's never been more important to lean into the skills, context, and experiences that make each of us most unique—and most human.Learn more about Sounds Fun soundsfun.co~ ~ ~Working Smarter is brought to you by Dropbox Dash—the AI universal search and knowledge management tool from Dropbox.

"The Christian faith does not destroy culture, but purifies and uplifts it. It takes away nothing of genuine value from a society or nation, but strengthens whatever is good for the betterment of all."~ St. John Paul IIWhat does it mean to live a beautiful life?How can I create a Catholic culture in my own life, family, school, or work?Should I be aiming to create a utopia on earth?In this insightful episode of This Whole Life, hosts Pat and Kenna sit down with Monsignor James Shea, president of the University of Mary, to explore the deep connection between faith, mental health, and the quest for true integration in everyday life. Monsignor Shea shares personal stories of loss and leadership, reflecting on building an authentic Catholic culture in diverse communities, the challenges and joys of forming young minds, and why embracing imperfections leads us closer to wholeness. The conversation dives into the meaning of integration—both personally and institutionally—and touches on how fragmented lives can be healed through Christ with humility and a spirit of self-giving. With practical encouragement and wisdom, this episode inspires listeners to find beauty, purpose, and unity in the messiness of real life. Perfect for anyone seeking both sanity and sanctity as they walk the journey of faith.Monsignor James Shea became the sixth president of the University of Mary in 2009.

SMBs don't have access to the same level of sophisticated lending options as consumers.There is one fundamental problem that prevents this class of product from pushing forward: lenders juggle multiple data vendors, wrestle with disconnected point solutions, and these tools lack the ability to paint a full picture of the SMB customer and their needs. The result is an ecosystem where a majority of time is spent on solving operational blockades rather than building solutions that cater to the whole lending lifecycle of a SMB customer. “We need something that covers everything. There can't just be a bunch of point solutions," says Jon Fry, founder and CEO of Lendflow. Lendflow has tackled this challenge by building a unified embedded lending infrastructure that works with over 200 companies to streamline three critical pillars in the lending lifecycle: distribution, decisioning, and workflow automation. The firm is not a lender today, nor are they interested in becoming an embedded lender in the future; instead it has positioned itself as the technology backbone that enables existing lenders to become embedded lenders themselves. Lendflow's approach is paying off for clients like BHG Financial, which uses the firm's entire platform suite and has seen dramatic improvements in operational efficiency and approval rates through the partnership. Listen to this podcast to learn how Lendflow is helping lenders break out of the fragmentation quagmire and access a full agentic AI toolbox that helps re-engage borrowers, as well as improve efficiencies for internal processes.

In this episode, I deliberate over the recently concluded IMF-World Bank annual meetings. The IMF Meetings in Washington DC featured some recognition of global resiliency amid geoeconomic fragmentation. Concerns about numerous risks at play have not faded though. Governments and firms are dealing with erratic policy making by the US. Trade, commerce, and tech adoption go on in spite of the persisting uncertainty. The IMF sees mild upside to growth risks in the near term. The US economy, buffeted by strong consumption and investment, is on 2% growth trajectory. For the rest of the world, stress lingers, but response is better than expected. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

HEADLINE: China Retaliates Against Dutch Chipmaker Seizure Amid European Fragmentation GUEST NAME:Theresa Fallon SUMMARY: Theresa Fallon discusses China imposing export controls on Nexperia after the Dutch government seized control of the chipmaker, which was owned by China's Wingtech. The Dutch acted due to fears the Chinese owner would strip the technology and equipment, despite Nexperia producing low-quality chips for cars. Fallon notes Europe needs a better chip policy but struggles to speak with one voice, as fragmented policy allows China to drive wedges and weaken the EU. 1966 TIBET

Bespoken Spirits isn't your typical whiskey distillery. Yes, they're based in the American bourbon heartland of Lexington, Kentucky, and yes, they often make private label whiskeys for clients. But everything from how Bespoken Spirits distills their whiskey to how they market it is done with the help of AI. Jordan Spitzer, their head of flavor, can finish a whiskey in days instead of years—while precisely crafting its taste—using their machine-learning backed approach. And Wane Lindsey, their director of marketing, credits AI tools with helping his tiny team punch way above their weight.The result is a whiskey that may not be traditional, but still tastes great—and in a fraction of the time it would otherwise take. That's time they can spend on the creative side of their craft and the work that has the most meaning: building brands and bespoke spirits that people will want to drink.On this episode, Jordan and Wane share how AI has helped them explore creative new ways to make and market whiskey—and why, no matter how smart our tools get, there's still no substitute for human taste.You can learn more about Bespoken Spirits at bespokenspirits.com~ ~ ~Working Smarter is brought to you by Dropbox Dash—the AI universal search and knowledge management tool from Dropbox.

Jeremy Au explained how startups evolve from chaos to clarity and how fragmentation in Southeast Asia creates both problems and opportunities. He used the jungle-to-highway model to describe startup growth, compared founders to David facing Goliath, and showed how innovation, like oat milk or vaping turns small experiments into billion-dollar revolutions. Jeremy also reflected on how VCs spot talent early and why mastering Southeast Asia prepares companies for global expansion. 00:00 Jungle to Highway: Startups begin lost in a jungle, then build a dirt road through early customers, and finally pave a highway once they master product-market fit and scale 02:10 VCs as Recruiters: The best investors act like headhunters, identifying and closing founders before others do, while Southeast Asia's fragmentation turns inefficiency into opportunity 05:25 Fragmentation as Opportunity: Jeremy explains how logistics and fintech thrive amid Southeast Asia's complex, inefficient regulations, where “somebody's inefficiency is my opportunity” 08:10 David vs. Goliath: Startups win by speed and focus, using their “slingshot”—fast execution—to overcome slow, over-armored incumbents 11:45 Oatly's Rise: The invention of oat milk in 1994 shows how a startup can build a billion-dollar category by rethinking existing markets 13:20 Experimentation Over Scale: Jeremy concludes that small experiments often spark global trends, and founders who navigate Southeast Asia's “jungle” can later scale worldwide Get transcripts, startup resources & community discussions at www.bravesea.com WhatsApp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VakR55X6BIElUEvkN02e TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jeremyau Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeremyauz Twitter: https://twitter.com/jeremyau LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/bravesea English: Spotify | YouTube | Apple Podcasts Bahasa Indonesia: Spotify | YouTube | Apple Podcasts Chinese: Spotify | YouTube | Apple Podcasts Vietnamese: Spotify | YouTube | Apple Podcasts #startups #founders #venturecapital #SoutheastAsia #innovation #fragmentedmarkets #scaling #DavidvsGoliath #entrepreneurship #BRAVEpodcast

In this episode, Kelly dismantles one of the most accepted rituals in modern spirituality — cord cutting — revealing it as one of the mimic's most elegant containment programs. What has long been sold as energetic liberation is, in truth, a rehearsal of fragmentation — a system that feeds on motion, charge, and the illusion of separation.Through the lens of Eternal Flame Physics, Kelly explains why every ritual that relies on “doing” — cutting, purging, clearing — only reinforces the geometry of mimic control. She breaks down the real mechanics of entanglement, how cords form through motion rather than connection, and how the field naturally restores coherence when it stops oscillating.Listeners will learn what it actually means to reclaim energy without fragmenting, to move from external ritual to internal mastery — through stillness, tone, and remembrance. This is not passive spirituality. This is active coherence — the Flame's living intelligence in motion.By the end, Kelly offers a radical redefinition of healing: Wholeness was never lost — only obscured. The work now is not to cut, but to remember. Because the Flame doesn't fight distortion. It ends it.If you want to explore this transmission in full depth, read the complete article on Elumenate Media.

What if the fear that trips you right before a breakthrough isn't a flaw, but a fragment of your history asking to come home? William and Michael dive straight into the soul which is a multidimensional record that still echoes through charged moments and how “soul fragmentation” can show up as irrational fears, last‑minute collapses, and the stubborn resistance that makes you shrink when you are ready to rise.You'll learn a simple, repeatable way to sit with charged moments, identify repeating patterns, and invite your presence to lead. William reframes a perceived “weakness” as an area to supersede rather than a battle to win, and shows you how life triggers often link to deeper imprints. The result is tangible: cleaner perception, steadier voice, momentum at the finish line, and a growing sense of healthy, whole, complete. Click subscribe and share with a friend who's ready to move past old patterns, and leave a review to help others find the work. 

I just got back from Maine. From three days in the woods with people from all over the world who came together for one reason: to shift their timelines, to step into higher versions of themselves, to literally quantum leap into new realities. And something happened there that I need to share with you. Something that changed everything about how I understand transformation, about how I've been teaching, about what's actually possible when we stop doing this work the way we've been doing it. On the second night, after an intensive day of future self integration work, after we were sitting around talking, and someone said something that hit me like a lightning bolt. They said: "Brian, I've been watching your content for three years. I've listened to thousands of hours of your meditations. I've learned timeline shifting, reality transurfing, future self integration. And I've had glimpses. I've had moments. I've had experiences that showed me what's possible. But THIS—" and they gestured around the room at all of us sitting there together, "—THIS is the first time I've felt like I'm actually DOING it. Like it's actually REAL. Like it's actually WORKING in a way that might actually STICK." And I realized something that's been gnawing at me for months, maybe years. Something I haven't wanted to fully acknowledge because it means admitting that everything I've been doing, as powerful as it's been, as many millions of people as it's reached, as much transformation as it's created... has only been giving you a fraction of what's actually possible. A fraction. And that fraction isn't because the teachings are incomplete. It's not because the techniques don't work. It's not because you're not dedicated enough or spiritual enough or evolved enough. It's because of how you've been receiving these teachings. It's because of the platform we've been using. It's because of the fundamental structure of how we've been doing this work together. And today, I'm going to show you exactly why your timeline shifts keep collapsing. Why your manifestations appear and then disappear. Why you keep quantum leaping into new realities only to get dragged back to your old life within weeks or months. And in the next episode, I'm going to reveal something I've been building that changes everything. But first, you need to understand the problem. The real problem. The one that's been invisible because we've all just accepted it as normal. 

In this episode, Matthew Allen is joined by Brendan Reilly, Managing Director and Head of US Corporate Affairs at Barclays, to discuss how rapid US policy shifts, tech-driven innovation, and evolving market regulation are shaping global cooperation and opportunities.

The internet promised freedom. Now it monetizes you. The trade-off? Convenience for control.In this episode, Lieuwe Jan Koning and Prof. Jacobs reveal how scattered tools like meta and X create security gaps—and how one policy, fewer interfaces, and less data shared cut exposure and keep operations running.Real examples you'll hear:• The neighborhood chat stuck on WhatsApp—and how switching to Signal breaks dependency.• How your address book upload leaks other people's data to platforms.• Why secure doesn't mean private on platforms that profit from your data.• Age checks done right: passport chip + selective disclosure instead of oversharing.• Patient groups and municipalities using PubHubs for private, verified rooms (no ads).• Continuity risk in the real world: federated login outages, US-dependent authenticators, transatlantic cable cuts, and a court moving email to ProtonMail to stay operational.(00:00) - – Free vs. monetized internet (02:22) - – Facebook: secure ≠ private (05:31) - – WhatsApp vs. Signal trade-offs (07:05) - – Metadata & social graph risk (11:58) - – Attribute-based auth (Yi) (19:55) - – Decentralized login; split keys (28:11) - – PubHubs: private, verified rooms (49:54) - – Continuity: vendor/cable risk (56:01) - – Close & takeaways Related ON2IT Content & Referenced Resources• ON2IT: https://on2it.net/• Threat Talks: https://threat-talks.com/• AMS-IX: https://www.ams-ix.net/ams• Yivi (privacy-preserving authentication): https://yivi.app/• PubHubs (privacy-first social platform): https://pubhubs.net/• European alternatives (mentioned): http://european-alternative.eu/• Privacy tools (mentioned): https://privacytools.io/Guest and Host Links: Lieuwe Jan Koning (ON2IT Co-Founder): https://www.linkedin.com/in/lieuwejan/ Bart Jacobs: http://www.cs.ru.nl/~bart/If this helped you strengthen your Zero Trust policy, subscribe, like, and share.

Amanda Cupido doesn't speak Spanish or French. But using AI, she and her team helped a global nonprofit make their internal podcast more accessible to as many employees as possible. Amanda is an audio producer and the founder of a production company called Lead Podcasting. One of her clients is a global nonprofit with over 35,000 employees—and not all of them speak English. So she made them a pitch: what if they added AI into the mix? They would make the podcast in English, and then use generative AI voice tools to translate it into Spanish and French—with a lot of human oversight, of course. Driven by a desire to use these tools for good, the goal was never to replace people, but to reach more people, and it worked.On this episode, Amanda shows what it's like—and what it sounds like—to make a podcast with AI that's still human at its core.You can learn more about Lead Podcasting at leadpodcasting.com~ ~ ~Working Smarter is brought to you by Dropbox Dash—the AI universal search and knowledge management tool from Dropbox.

Structure sends signals. In an AI-driven attention economy, how a company organizes its communications function can sharpen its corporate narrative or splinter it - and this has big implications for trust both inside and outside an organization's walls.Anne Green sits down with seasoned communications leader Chrissy Jones to unpack centralized and decentralized models, the real risk of fragmentation in a volatile reputation environment, and how a focus on communications structure and governance can help protect reputation in complex and regulated spaces. Chrissy shares thoughts on practical hybrid approaches that maintain a clear enterprise voice while building “local” agility. The discussion also gets beyond the surface on the “Comms need a seat at the table” discussion to focus on the bridges that prove strategic value.In this episode:The pendulum swing between centralized and decentralized comms functions, and trends Anne and Chrissy are seeing today in sectors like pharmaceuticalsAssessing and balancing potential pros and cons – including how decentralization can build subject matter expertise and speed gains yet can erode coherence, create duplication of efforts, and lead to a patchwork brand voiceHow a central system with embedded business units can scale trust, clarity, and accountability across the enterpriseSimple moves you can make now, from cross-silo alignment and narrative hygiene to GEO implementation, to help key stakeholders and LLMs alike understand your story and build coherence in your narrative

Very few people get paid to visit shipwrecks—but for Stephanie Gandulla, it's all part of the job. Stephanie is a scuba diver, maritime archeologist, and resource protection coordinator for the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary. The agency safeguards Lake Huron's historic shipwrecks, many of which have yet to be discovered. That's where Katie Skinner comes in. She's an assistant professor at the University of Michigan and the director of the school's Field Robotics Group. Skinner and her team have been developing autonomous underwater vehicles that can find new shipwreck sites, all on their own. For humans, a search is costly, time-consuming, manual work. But for AI? Skinner thinks it could help us find answers in a snap. On this episode, Stephanie and Katie talk about using AI to find shipwrecks in a literal lake of data, so that they can spend less time searching and more time exploring—as only humans can do.You can learn more about some of the people and projects featured in this episode, including… The Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary at thunderbay.noaa.govKatie Skinner and the University of Michigan's Field Robotics Group at fieldrobotics.engin.umich.eduPrevious efforts to autonomously map Thunder Bay's historical shipwrecks at theverge.com/2020/3/5/21157791/drone-autonomous-boat-ben-shipwreck-alley-unh-noaa-great-lakes-thunder-bay~ ~ ~Working Smarter is brought to you by Dropbox Dash—the AI universal search and knowledge management tool from Dropbox.

Episode #390: The exhibition Fragmentation, hosted earlier this year at Bangkok Art and Culture Center and co-organized by SEA Junction and A New Burma, presented haunting photographs of displaced teachers and students in Karenni State, capturing both devastation and resilience in the midst of war. Through a series of interviews, curators and participants reflected on the deeper meanings of these images.Tim, the co-curator and graphic designer, explained the deliberate effort to avoid sensationalizing suffering, instead showing both the grief of loss and the ordinariness of children still learning. He recalls how the sound of school bells had come to double as an airstrike siren, a chilling metaphor for the normalization of fear.Nicola Edwards, an education researcher, highlights how schools and health facilities have become deliberate military targets. Yet she notes that this destruction has catalyzed new, community-driven education systems, from jungle classrooms to mother-tongue curricula, where untrained but dedicated volunteers sustain children's learning and safety.Patrick, a frontline doctor in Karenni, describes the direct targeting of hospitals and the horrific injuries he treats daily, many of them children. Though he has survived airstrikes and seen atrocities firsthand, he emphasized solidarity among medical workers and the determination to continue serving despite trauma.Mya Hein, a Muslim student unionist, reflects on his political awakening, the discrimination he faced, and how the revolution has brought fleeting moments of solidarity alongside lingering structural inequalities. He urged that minority rights must be central to any genuine future for Myanmar.Finally, artist and organizer MCP spoke of the revolution's impact on art, where creativity has become both a tool of survival and a means of political dialogue. For him, art conveys truths and emotions beyond statistics, keeping Myanmar's suffering—and hope—visible to the world.Together, their voices reveal a portrait of education, health, identity, and creativity as intertwined acts of resistance.

In this episode of Quality Talks With Peggy O'Kane, NCQA President Peggy O'Kane speaks with primary care and health IT veteran Dr. Marc Overhage.Marc notes that many of health care's challenges are design problems—and design problems can be solved. The conversation highlights trailblazing models like hospital-at-home and the need for better data availability at the point of care. Marc's optimism about the next five to ten years is rooted in the belief that we have the tools, data and momentum to improve not just a handful of care processes, but thousands.Topics Marc and Peggy explore include:How a Transactional Mindset Undermines Quality: Marc sees what he calls “transactional” care as a design flaw that reduces care to disconnected snippets, leaving patients confused and providers unable to coordinate or focus on wellness.Clinical Decision Support as a Design Solution: Embedding quality into the care process is preferable to measuring quality after-the-fact.The Limits of Traditional Quality Measurement: Retrospective scoring frustrates clinicians and fails to drive real-time improvement. A better way is possible!Redesigning Hospitalization: Marc highlights how better logistics, financial models and care coordination—like hospital-at-home—could reduce unnecessary stays and improve transitions of care.Key Quote: It really is a question of how do you build quality into the care process, not measure it in. We all know that measuring into a manufacturing or a creation process is a limited strategy. It only goes so far.And the Toyota Production System, the Danaher Business System, other very successful models are predicated on, How do you build quality into the process as it's happening, have the ability to pull the chain and stop the production line if something isn't working, and continuously improve it?How do you stop and say, Okay, why are so many of our patients not being fully treated for their congestive heart failure? What is in the way? How do we improve it?-- Marc Overhage, MDTime Stamps:(02:57) Fragmentation and Transactional Care(07:04) Incentives and Profit Maximization(10:52) What Real-Time Data Helps Clinicians Achieve(19:34) Turning Clinical Insight into Actionable Care Plans(23:30) Encouraging Innovation and Trailblazing(29:12) Peggy's ReflectionsLinks:Connect with Marc

Mari Otsu joins Stephen Blackwood for a deeply personal conversation about her journey through the wounds of materialism, ideology, and spiritual forgetting, and her return to the soul through the beauty of the humanities. Reflecting on her years at NYU and the Grand Central Atelier, Mari speaks of a longing that nothing in the modern, politicized worldview could satisfy, and how she found healing in therapy, classical painting, and, most profoundly, the living philosophical community of Ralston College. Engaging with the works of Plotinus, Boethius, and Dante, she discovered a path of purification and ascent that restored her sense of meaning and inspired her to share these treasures with others. This conversation explores the roots of today's meaning crisis and the redemptive power of beauty, thought, and imagination to heal the soul.

Chris Haas of Blume Global talks about how IoT is reinventing rail freight visibility and building a more agile, optimized intermodal network for everyone.   IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:   [03.55] IoT and its role in intermodal. [05.15] The big, macro-level challenges Blume see across the intermodal freight ecosystem. “Intermodal logistics is inherently complex – there's multiple modes, multiple stakeholders, and disconnected systems which makes visibility a real challenge.” [06.48] How big industry challenges translate to a business level, the day-to-day challenges Blume see their clients facing, and why visibility is critical to navigating those challenges. “Fragmentation, theft risks, equipment inefficiencies – all of that shows up in day-to-day operations. When you don't have visibility, delays and missed hand-offs often go unnoticed, until it's too late… And that reactive mode causes stress across the board.” [10.02] The lack of IoT adoption across North America and, despite that underdeveloped adoption, the huge potential IoT holds to modernize intermodal operations. “For a long time IoT was seen as expensive, complex and hard to scale, devices were pricey and battery life was limited. Many legacy systems just weren't built to handle real-time IoT data, so you can understand the hesitation to invest in something that didn't feel practical.” [14.58] How IoT has evolved, particularly for rail. “It used to just be GPS… but now that we have smart geofencing, sensors, temperature and humidity monitors and predictive alerts, we've gone from: ‘Where's my stuff?' to: 'Here's what's happening, why, and what to do next' – it's exciting transformation!” [16.12] The different types of use cases for IoT in intermodal freight, and their impacts. “Insights let businesses course-correct, before it turns into a systemic problem.” [17.55] Why IoT is a win-win for all stakeholders from shippers and railroads to IMCs, and how it's delivering tangible benefits across the entire supply chain. [19.08] The Blume tools that process 1.3 million IoT events per day, and what those events look like. “It can sound overwhelming. The key is not just collecting the data, it's making it usable.” [22.14] How the Blume platform helps customers to manage all of that data and deliver visibility for scale and flexibility. [24.30] A case study exploring how Blume worked with an IMC to establish geofencing and GPS tracking solutions, helping them achieve a range of positive results from real-time visibility to recovering stolen containers. [27.25] How IoT can help to build a more agile, optimized intermodal network, and the impact of that for the industry.  “We're really talking about removing the guesswork, and replacing it with real-time intelligence. The intermodal ecosystem is under a lot of pressure, rising cost, tighter service expectations… With everyone operating with limited or delayed information, the system ends up being reactive rather than proactive and IoT changes that. It's created a shared single source of truth.” [29.17] What's to come for Blume Global.   RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED:   Head over to Blume Global's website now to find out more and discover how they could help you too.

Ross Hickey of Shippeo talks about supply chain visibility - closing gaps, building future-proof tech stacks, change management, and driving business value.  IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:   [03.39] An introduction to Ross and his role at Shippeo, and a reminder of who Shippeo are and how they help their customers. [04.45] From in-transit uncertainty to the first and last miles, the typical blind spots Shippeo see with their customers, the problem of fragmentation, and why organizations often overlook key areas in their transportation networks. “Fragmentation really is the root cause behind so many problems.” [07.53] How businesses can start to evaluate their ecosystem to shine a light on blind spots and tackle fragmentation. “Organizations need to take a more diagnostic approach at the actual problem itself.” [10.24] Shippeo's seven value drivers, and how closing visibility gaps leads to overall performance improvement. “What if your logistics team had immediate access to information at their fingertips, understanding exactly what's going on with their shipment and proactively alerting the external stakeholders as to what's going on? Meaning any time a customer is reaching out, you can treat that as an escalation, that shouldn't be standard business as usual.” [15.25] How real-time visibility impacts key business outcomes for Shippeo customers. “Think of visibility as your system of information powering your system of orchestration.” [18.25] Understanding your ‘why' and leveraging that to build a business case for real-time visibility. [20.58] How organizations should be thinking about their tech stack as they look to translate visibility into business value. “The technology is the enabler, to enable people to become more effective in achieving the outcomes they want to achieve. So rather than focusing on: ‘What tech do I specifically need?' It's about identification of the problem, and aligning technology to that.” [25.31] The importance of partnership, and how businesses should approach choosing the right partner, ensuring that their investment is scalable and technology future-proof. [29.17] Why change management is critical to digital transformation, and how organizations can shift their teams mindset to work with new solutions in a more strategic, proactive way. “The technology works, but getting people to adapt to it, to work with it and use the information they're being given – that's the bigger challenge.” [34.04] Collaboration and what successful cross-functional alignment needs to look like. [36.27] Ross's final words of advice for listeners to take away from today's discussion.   RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED:   Head over to Shippeo's website now to find out more and discover how they could help you too.

It's a process.[18:45] The Role of the Holy Spirit in Healing Your HeartThe book of Isaiah proclaims Jesus' mission to heal the brokenhearted and proclaim liberty to the captives.The Hebrew word for soul is the same as the word for heart — heal the heart, and you heal the soul. [20:07] Samantha: “If we follow Yeshua, how do we heal the brokenhearted?...How do we proclaim liberty to the captive? So there's healing of the soul.” Healing the soul allows faithful Christians to walk in victory and power.[22:07] Understanding Triggers and Their ImpactA trigger is something or someone that reminds us of past trauma, particularly unresolved pain.A memory, feeling, or event can pull someone back to the moment of their trauma, “triggering” what they felt at the time; hence the term “trauma triggers”.Partners in marriage need to understand each other's trauma triggers to avoid — or even heal — conflicts between them.Michelle shares an example of a survivor of satanic ritual abuse whose trauma triggers were specific words.Christians should not allow triggers to control them but seek help and healing to respond as Yeshua would.[34:24] Medication, Healing, and the Word of GodReagan shares her personal experience with anxiety and the decision to avoid medication in favor of healing through the Word of God.Medication isn't the only answer to managing your trauma triggers. It's more important to address the root cause.Healing is a process. Medication can help, but Christians should not be quick to resort to it without addressing the underlying issues.Discipleship and counseling are powerful tools in the healing process. [38:39] The Fragmentation of the SoulSoul fragmentation is where parts of the soul detach to cope with intolerable trauma.Michelle tells the story of a child who fragments their soul to cope with abuse, explaining how this coping mechanism helps them survive.True healing is achieved when a Christian can integrate the fragmented parts of her soul.Only Yeshua can integrate the fragmented parts of the soul and heal the wounds.[48:10] The Impact of Satanic Ritual Abuse on the SoulMichelle shares a story of a survivor of satanic ritual abuse who was triggered by certain words and needed to reject the thoughts and choose to do the right thing.Survivors of satanic ritual abuse often have deep-seated triggers and need specialized healing.As Christians, we have to understand the programming and mind control used in satanic rituals to address the trauma triggers effectively.It is only through Yeshua that Christians can heal the deep-seated wounds inflicted by satanic rituals and abuse.[58:48] Spreading True Healing to Those in NeedNot enough Christians understand the reality of how spiritual healing works, preventing them from receiving healing. [59:04] Reagan: “This is real. This is real life. It happens. It's in our churches, it's in our small, little towns, it's in our big cities. It's everywhere. But we're not believing that it's real, and so those people are sitting there hurting, you know, and and not getting the healing that they need from their fragmented souls” We can be emissaries of that healing and a channel for God's peace when we join movements to reach out, like Pulse 100.Becoming a channel for God's peace is also a way for us to grow spiritually. About MichelleMichelle Young is a devoted servant of God, with over 30 years of experience in discipling and counseling those seeking spiritual healing and freedom.
