Podcasts about Fulfillment

Journalist and author Sam Quinones talks about his newest book, The Perfect Tuba: Forging Fulfillment from the Brass Horn, Band, and Hard Work with EconTalk's Russ Roberts. Known for his reporting on the opioid crisis, Quinones turns to a more uplifting subject--the world of tuba players and high school marching bands. What begins as curiosity about an unusual instrument evolves into a moving exploration of how discipline, community, and devotion to craft can restore meaning and purpose in people's lives.

In this powerful conversation with Nathan Johnson, we explore how all of Scripture—from Genesis to Revelation—points to Jesus Christ. From the types and shadows in the Law and Prophets to the prophecies, feasts, and even geography, we see Christ revealed again and again. As the Living Word, He is not only the fulfillment of the Old Testament but also its very heartbeat. May our hearts burn within us, as on the road to Emmaus, as we behold the wonder of Jesus in all of God's Word.Nathan Johnson has a passion to help equip Christians to understand the Word of God and experience a deep love for Jesus that transforms their lives and the world around them. He teaches full-time at Ellerslie Discipleship Training and creates Christ-centered Bible teaching and resources on his website deeperChristian.com.Want to go deeper in studying this command of Christ?

Texts: Deuteronomy 18:15-19; Luke 4:16-21, 24:44-48; Hebrews 1:1-4   Jesus is the Foreshadowed Prophet of Promise (Deuteronomy 18:15-19) The Lord promised that a prophet like Moses would come to His people to speak His Word to their hearts.   Jesus is the Fulfillment of Prophecy (Luke 4:16-21, 24:44-48) Jesus announces that the prophecy of Isaiah 61 has been fulfilled in His arrival and forthcoming ministry. Jesus is the fulfillment and focal point of all Scripture.   Jesus is the Final Word of God (Hebrews 1:1-4) All other prophets of God were pointing us to the final Prophet who would be God's final Word to us.  Jesus is supreme in His divine power to create the world, sustain all life, and save sinners.

The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 416 HOSTS: Matthew Brown and Andrew Vallo GUESTS: Dr. Peter Boulden and Dr. Craig Spodak DESCRIPTION In this conversation, the hosts and guests discuss the realities of success in dentistry, the impact of social media on expectations, and the importance of clarity and fulfillment in one's career. They explore the challenges of entrepreneurship, the dangers of comparison, and the significance of finding inspiration rather than envy. The discussion also touches on burnout, the lost decade many dentists experience, and the need for a supportive community. Ultimately, the conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding one's own path and the true meaning of success. TAKEAWAYS Success is about getting what you want and wanting what you get. Many practices are not as successful as they appear on social media. It's important to find inspiration rather than compare yourself to others. The turning point in a dental career often comes from realizing the need for a sustainable business model. Entrepreneurship in dentistry requires a clear vision and commitment. Burnout often stems from a lack of clarity and progress in one's career. The dental community can be isolating, making support systems crucial. Many dentists experience a 'lost decade' by following the wrong narratives. It's essential to focus on what truly makes you happy in your career. Success is not just about financial metrics but also about personal fulfillment.

Welcome to some bonus content with Lee Cole, and we're talking about how he used an old book he found at his grandparents to help build the world and characters in his novels.  Plus, you're going to hear some extra bits about writing heroes and villains.  Fulfillment, Lee Cole's second novel, follows two half brothers whose clashing ambitions—Emmett's longing to be a screenwriter and his brother's academic ideals about “rural despair”—go beyond a simple difference in worldview. Something deeper threatens to pull them apart. Lee is a graduate of the Iowa Writers' Workshop, is also the author of Groundskeeping. Both his novels were published by Faber in the U.K. The New York Times has described his work as “Anne Tyler by way of Sally Rooney.” Originally from Kentucky, Lee joins me today from Philadelphia.   Buy Lee Cole's book here https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/ripplingpagespod Support the Rippling Pages on a new Patreon https://patreon.com/RipplingPagesPod?utm_medi Interested in hosting your own podcast?

What if gratitude is actually keeping you small? In this Thanksgiving episode of The Business of Happiness, Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy explains how toxic gratitude and high-achiever conditioning keep women in dentistry and healthcare from asking for rest, support, or something better. She reveals the subtle ways “just be thankful” turns into burnout, self-silencing, and settling for less than you want. With clear examples and gentle guidance, Dr. Tarryn shows what real gratitude looks like: receiving help, honoring your needs, and letting yourself want more without guilt. If you're tired, overwhelmed, or craving a life that feels like yours again, this conversation will help you reconnect with what you truly need.Show notes:(2:38) When gratitude becomes a barrier(4:02) Remembering your worth as a caregiver(6:16) Dreams women shrink from guilt(9:19) You deserve to ask for what you need(12:18) The difference between gratitude and avoidance(13:05) Letting compliments and support land(15:27) Why receiving help matters(17:02) Feeling gratitude instead of reciting it(18:35) Outro________________IMPORTANT LINKS:Radical Happiness for Practitioners - https://thebizofhappiness.com/radicalhappiness/Connect with Dr. MacCarthy:Email: tarryn@drtarrynmaccarthy.comBook a call with Tarryn:https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/bookings/happiness-and-prosperity-strategy-callUnlock your inner peace and reclaim joy in your profession with the Nervous System Regulation For Dentists Course: https://www.thebizofhappiness.com/calmPlease join my Facebook group, Business Of Happiness Hive, so we can all take this journey to find fulfillment and happiness together.

Just because you're making money doesn't mean you're thriving as a freelancer. And if you're NOT making money? You're definitely not thriving. Here's what a thriving freelance business actually looks like: stable income, financial runway so you can take a hit without panicking, no constant fires to put out, and you actually enjoy what you do. Sound like your business right now? Yeah. Didn't think so. The second you started taking money for your skills, 12 critical roles appeared out of thin air in your business: Fulfillment, sales, marketing, operations, accounting, project management, IT/tech, legal, client relationships, creative direction, management... and CEO. In a big corporation, each of those has a department head, managers, and entire teams. As a freelancer? That's all you, baby. And if your business isn't where you want it to be, you're failing at exercising one (or more) of these muscles. So how do you fix this? That's what this episode is all about. You'll discover: The "treat it like the gym" framework for consistently working on the hard stuff you've been avoiding for months (or years) How to identify which muscle is your biggest bottleneck right now and start strengthening it one hour at a time Why emotions make you a great creative but a terrible business owner (and what to do about it)… Can you make this work? Wrong question. The right question is: How can I make this work? "Can I" is for dabblers. "How can I" is for people who actually succeed. So pick your mountain. Set your gym time. And start climbing one hour at a time. For full show notes, visit https://6figurecreative.com/390

In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett Unclebach and Nick Surface dismantle one of the most powerful lies in modern culture — that you are the main character of your own story.Drawing from Scripture, history, and real-world examples, they explore how society's obsession with self — from slogans like “Have it your way” and “Because you're worth it” — has shaped a generation that's prideful, impatient, and spiritually empty.Garrett and Nick explain that true fulfillment doesn't come from self-expression but from submission. The difference between salvation and wisdom is learning to play your part in the story God is already writing.Through biblical truth and practical wisdom, they show how humility, endurance, and responsibility unlock the kind of heroic, meaningful life every man was created for.

How to Tune into the Power of Your Intuition, Creativity, and ImaginationDo you ever feel like your instinct – or some sense of deep knowing and natural wisdom – is giving you information that your rational mind tells you is illogical or wrong? Or perhaps you've been told by a partner, friend, or family member that your choices aren't as analytical as they ought to be. In fact, we're often reminded that we should be logical – that we should follow whatever the rational brain tells us to do. And in today's highly left-brain world, it's easy to believe that we should discount our intuition and the callings of the creative mind. Yet from my personal and clinical experience, I've found that there's untold power in discovering the gifts of knowing that are beyond the rational mind. Today, I'm joined by Dr. Kim Hermanson, a renowned educator, author, and psychologist, who will guide us into the realm of tuning into the extraordinary world of the non-linear mind. Topics discussed include imagination, instinct, metaphors, dreams, rational mind, intuition, feminine energy, masculine energy, balance, intuitive, deep knowing, relationships, empowerment, and self-awareness.Please note that this episode may contain sensitive material; listener discretion is advised.Emergency Assistance Note: If you or someone you know needs immediate support, please call your emergency services.

This conversation moves beyond sentimentality to reveal the cosmic significance of Christ's birth and its enduring power to speak to experiences of both homecoming and dislocation.

High performers often build from pressure instead of peace. In this episode, discover how faith reshapes ambition — and how to move from striving for success to building with divine partnership, just like Nehemiah.When high performance becomes the only way you know how to feel safe, surrender feels foreign. But the moment you stop striving to build something for God and begin building with Him — peace replaces pressure, and purpose finds its true form.In this Sunday episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly explores what it means to trade ambition for alignment through the story of Nehemiah, who rebuilt Jerusalem not through hustle but through holy partnership. His leadership shows us the difference between the Tower — built to make a name — and the Temple — built to host Presence.This conversation speaks directly to high-capacity humans navigating success fatigue, spiritual exhaustion, and identity drift. It's a grounded, faith-forward invitation to trust that obedience is strategy — and that divine partnership isn't weakness, it's wisdom.You'll learn how to discern whether you're building from pressure or Presence, and what it looks like to lead from sufficiency rather than scarcity. Because the Sovereign never asked you to hold it all together — only to stay aligned with truth.The Recalibration isn't another mindset hack or leadership tactic. It's the root-level identity alignment that makes every other tool effective again — the small internal shift that changes how you build, lead, and live.Today's Micro Recalibration: In prayer or reflection, ask: “Am I building this for recognition or for relationship?” Let the answer come gently. Peace will always reveal what's pure.Semantic keyword clusters: burnout recovery, spiritual exhaustion, faith and performance, leadership burnout, identity drift, high performer faith, divine partnership, surrender and success, rebuilding with God, purpose realignment, presence over performance.Named entities: Nehemiah, Tower of Babel, Temple of GodIf this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

Join Pastor Lucas Miles as he delivers a timely message addressing the growing cultural shift toward pagan and post-Christian worldviews. In this sermon, Pastor Lucas emphasizes that the challenge facing the church is not individual people, but the larger attempt to replace the Christian worldview with spiritual substitutes that promise meaning yet lead people away from the truth of the Gospel. He explains why the church must understand both the moment we're living in and the direction society is moving—preparing to become the “Church of Tomorrow” by standing firm with clarity, conviction, and grace.Throughout the message, Pastor Lucas highlights the importance of open dialogue within the church, pointing to our upcoming “Ask Me Anything” Sunday as an opportunity for honest questions and deeper discipleship. He also unpacks the significance of communion as a reminder of Christ's victory and the transformation available to every believer. Drawing from early church history, he shows how Christians in ancient Rome defended their faith against false accusations and makes clear the parallels to modern criticisms of Christianity today—accusations of bigotry, judgmentalism, and irrelevance.Pastor Lucas then explores humanity's built-in awareness of God and explains how suppressing that truth leads to spiritual confusion and the rise of alternative belief systems. He addresses the increasing popularity of modern spiritual trends—earth worship, reincarnation, astrology, manifestation, chakras, and globalism—revealing how the desires behind these beliefs ultimately point back to what only Christ can fulfill. The message concludes with a call to reestablish the goodness of God in people's hearts, demolish arguments that set themselves against the knowledge of God, and invite those seeking spiritual truth to find their answers in Jesus.Key Themes: • The rise of pagan and post-Christian worldviews • Preparing to be the “Church of Tomorrow” • The importance of open dialogue (“Ask Me Anything” Sunday) • Communion and the victory of Christ • Early Christian apologetics and modern accusations • Humanity's innate awareness of God • The pursuit of spirituality in all the wrong places • Reestablishing God's goodness in a confused culture • Calling seekers to truth found only in JesusTimestamps:3:21 — The Church of Tomorrow & Facing Cultural Threats 3:40 — The Rise of Post-Christian & Pagan Worldviews 3:59 — Paganism, Marxism & Competing Ideologies 4:17 — Understanding Today to Prepare for Tomorrow 4:54 — A New “Apology”: Defending the Christian Faith 5:59 — Early Church Apologetics: Justin Martyr & Rome 7:27 — Accusations Faced by Early Christians 12:21 — Modern Accusations Against the Church 13:46 — Romans 1: Awareness & Suppression of God 17:03 — The Search for Meaning & Spiritual Confusion 21:44 — Pagan Pursuits vs. Fulfillment in Christ 26:14 — Globalism & the Kingdom of God

The Gratitude Reset: Why PTs Have the Best Job in the World In this episode, Doc Danny Matta reminds physical therapists why they have one of the most fulfilling professions on earth. From building lifelong relationships with patients to seeing the ripple effect of their work beyond the clinic, he shares how to reframe burnout and rediscover gratitude for what makes this career so meaningful. Quick Ask If this episode helps you reconnect with the "why" behind what you do, share it with another PT who might need the reminder—and tag @dannymattaPT so he can reshare! Let's help more clinicians rediscover pride and purpose in the profession. Episode Summary The reality check: PTs often forget how rare it is to do deeply meaningful work that changes people's lives. Patient zero stories: Every great clinic has those first patients who became raving fans and fueled its growth. Personal satisfaction: PTs experience emotional rewards most careers never touch—gratitude, trust, and transformation. The burnout trap: Feeling stuck or repetitive? You're focusing on the tasks, not the people. The unicorn profession: Physical therapy blends purpose and profitability—helping people while earning well. Lessons & Takeaways Focus on people, not paperwork: Documentation matters, but your attention changes outcomes. Gratitude is the antidote: Burnout fades when you remember the lives you've improved. Connection compounds: One genuine patient relationship can lead to hundreds more. Purpose drives longevity: Treating with empathy keeps you motivated through the grind. Fulfillment is the real paycheck: Emotional impact outweighs hourly reimbursement. Mindset & Motivation Reframe burnout: Every eval is another rep at changing someone's life. Appreciate the mission: You're doing work that directly improves human potential. Compare less, serve more: Other professions might pay more—but few feel this rewarding. Stay grounded in gratitude: Remember why you started and how many people you've helped. Pro Tips for Clinicians Use AI to reclaim presence: Tools like MeetClair AI handle your notes so you can focus on your patients. Check in with your "patient zeros": Reach out to early supporters and thank them for being part of your story. Create community moments: Celebrate wins, share patient stories, and build emotional connection in your clinic. Remember the mission: You're a servant leader—helping people live better, not just move better. Notable Quotes "You're not focusing on the wrong profession—you're focusing on the wrong thing. It's about the people, not the paperwork." "The amount of personal gratification you get from helping others is worth billions." "There are people out there who make more money than you—and they're dead inside. That's not us." "It's a unicorn business: purpose and profit living in the same place." Action Items Shift focus from tasks to people during your next treatment session. Take a moment to reflect on one patient whose life you've changed. Revisit your original motivation for becoming a PT—and write it down. Try an AI scribe like Clair to eliminate distraction and be fully present with patients.
