  What if everything you learned about health and medical school is missing the real secrets to thriving, energetic living? In this premiere episode of the 2025 season of Health Hacks, Mark L. White pulls back the curtain on cutting-edge approaches that most doctors still aren't teaching—straight from one of Miami's leaders in regenerative and functional medicine, Dr. Kendrick Heywood. Episode Summary: Join host Mark L. White and guest Dr. Kendrick Heywood for a deep dive into the essential “five pillars” of health—covering everything from individualized nutrition, gene-driven exercise, optimal supplementation, hormone optimization, and breakthrough biohacks. Dr. Heywood reveals how he transitioned from traditional internal medicine to the forefront of anti-aging therapies, why most med schools still neglect these advancements, and how everyday patients (not just athletes!) can radically transform their health outcomes. Key Highlights: Myth-Busting Medicine: Discover why Dr. Heywood says 0% of what he uses today to optimize patient health was taught in med school. Personalized Diet & Exercise: Learn why the best approach for you isn't a fad diet—but a regimen designed for your unique genetic makeup. Hormone Optimization Demystified: Get the real story on hormone therapies, peptides, and why targeting the “top end” of health can change everything. Next-Level Biohacks: From red light therapy and hypberbaric chambers to exosomes and shockwave treatment—find out which futuristic tools Dr. Heywood recommends and why. Behind-the-Scenes Stories: Hear the incredible story of how Dr. Heywood saved NBA legend Dennis Rodman, and what it means to go above and beyond for patient care. Putting It Into Action—Listener Takeaways: Assess Your Pillars: Start by evaluating your own five pillars—are you optimizing each, or stuck in old routines? Get Personalized: Consider genetic testing to unlock your best diet and fitness plan, rather than chasing one-size-fits-all trends. Explore Biohacks Safely: Research and, if possible, consult with experts about the safest, most effective regenerative therapies (like red light therapy or IV vitamin drips). Ask About Hormones & Peptides: If you keep hitting fitness or wellness plateaus, consult a forward-thinking practitioner about hormone and peptide therapies tailored to your needs (not just based on “normal” ranges). Connect for Expert Guidance: Follow Dr. Heywood on Instagram (@drkenhaywood) for daily educational tips and updates on the latest in health optimization. Ready to take your health (and possibly your career) to the next level with strategies most doctors don't even know exist? Tune in—your path to a more thriving, energetic you starts here.

Why do the obstacles that threaten the mission of God slow us down? Could it be because we don't believe God's promises about his mission? In this message, Pastor Jeremy Writebol unpacks Acts 12:1-24 and shows three obstacles the church today faces and how God responds to those obstacles.    

Cam Arminio's Full-Court Mission: More Than Just a Game At Cedarville University, Cam Arminio is known for helping students get ready for life after graduation. As the Associate Director of Career Services, he coaches them through résumé prep, mock interviews, and LinkedIn tips — all with the heart of someone who truly wants to see others succeed.  From Day One to Day 1,000, Cam is in their corner. But there's another side to Cam's story — one that plays out on the basketball court. Listen to his encouraging interaction with the game on this week's Cedarville Stories podcast. Cam has loved basketball his whole life. Back in high school, it was his identity. But when he became a Christian at 17, everything changed. What once took center stage became a way to serve something bigger. And today, he's using that same game to point others to Christ through the Cedarville Basketball Ministry. Each Sunday during the school year, dozens of students gather to play. Some come for the love of the game, others are fueled by the adrenaline rush of competition — but all of them find more than they expected. At halftime, Cam and his group of student leaders pause to share something lasting: the message of Jesus. It's not flashy. It's not forced. It's just real people connecting through a shared love for basketball and encountering something deeper along the way. During the week, those connections continue through Bible studies, as student leaders follow up with guys they've met on the court. The goal is simple: to reach young men who may not be ready for church pews but will show up to play. And once they're there, to open a door to faith and friendship. Looking ahead, Cam has big plans. More events off campus. New ways to connect. And even a Global Outreach trip to the Czech Republic in 2026 — carrying on the legacy of Coach Don Callan by using basketball to share the Gospel overseas. For Cam and the team, it all comes down to this: meaningful competition, Gospel-centered outreach, and life-giving community. Because sometimes, the court is where the real ministry begins. https://share.transistor.fm/s/7575329bhttps://youtu.be/CZbA05jExcQ

Hear all about the inspiring work of missionaries Gary and Kathy Heinrich, who serve in the jungles of Costa Rica. Their stories of building churches, training pastors, and leading leadership conferences in remote areas remind us of the ongoing mission to bring the gospel to all corners of the world. Their dedication exemplifies the power of leadership training, community building, and the importance of supporting indigenous pastors.

This weekend our Global Outreach team welcomes Stephen Jones, one of our ministry partners from London. He is a pastor and counselor, serving West London as a window to the world. In particular, their counseling services open doors to communities that might not otherwise consider the Gospel. On Sunday morning he will present more details about how he and his wife are caring for their community. As many know, counseling is about walking with people through the wilderness of their lives. And often that is precisely how God sends us in his love. Join us as we hear how "God Soothes Us and Sends Us to the Wilderness"

If you are mobilizing in an organization, you know the frustration that can sometimes exist when others unknowingly sabotage your mobilization efforts or at the very least, don't quite see the importance of mobilization. Today, Dave has a frank conversation with John Darnell, CEO of Global Outreach International. John unpacks his philosophy of mobilization, how to balance hitting the recruitment numbers with discipleship, and what he did to increase the mobilization culture at Global Outreach. Here's what Dave asked him: Let's talk about when you became the CEO of Global Outreach and how you had to shift things as a leader to support mobilization. How do you create healthy collaboration between departments? When it comes to the philosophies of mobilization, how do you navigate the tension that sometimes exists between mobilization recruiting and mobilization discipleship? Mobilizers can often feel pressure to hit the numbers and that can demotivate them. How do you encourage your mobilization staff to keep them motivated? You mentioned earlier to me that you have had to “push the board.” Can you explain what you mean by that and what occurred? What are you seeing change in the church and what must we do differently as we mobilize the body of Christ?

We want to give you a glimpse into what God is calling Liquid Church to do in 2025. Be encouraged: What we do today will matter in 100 years and for all of eternity. You can leave a legacy and our work begins today. As a church, we have four areas we want to focus on in 2025. The first is Bible Literacy. The church is prioritizing deepening Bible understanding across all age groups. The second area of focus is on the Next Generation. Liquid Church is investing in Gen Z and Gen Alpha through mentorship, scholarships for high school seniors, and programs tailored for their spiritual growth. This generational focus aims to shape minds with Scripture and equip youth to engage with faith in today's culture. Our third initiative will be Church Expansion. Growth plans include launching Spanish services in key locations, supported by AI-translated sermons. The church is also pursuing permanent locations for its Somerset and Middlesex County Campuses. And, our fourth initiative is Global Outreach, specifically the Clean Water Cause. New efforts will focus on large-scale water projects and building churches in the Dominican Republic, providing both physical and spiritual resources to underserved communities. Watch this message from Pastor Tim Lucas and consider how you can help leave a legacy for generations to come.

J.D. Bridges, Vice President of Global Outreach for , tells us this week about Ligonier's efforts to produce content and teaching materials to defend and teach the holiness of God—not only to American Christians but to Christians around the world, including persecuted Christians in hostile areas and restricted nations. Since 1971, when R.C. Sproul founded the ministry in the Ligonier Valley of western Pennsylvania, Ligonier has continued to produce more and more Biblical content. As people from other nations discovered the work and requested resources in their own languages, Ligonier's international efforts have grown. Creating a strategy for translation and dubbing, Bridges and his team are focusing on the top twenty languages around the world—which creates the potential to access 80% of the world's population with gospel materials and theology training. God has opened doors to provide resources in Chinese, Urdu, Hindi, Indonesian, Farsi and many other languages. Out of 5,000,000 pastors around the world, only 5-10% have any theological education. Listen as J.D. shares his heart to create more opportunities for more people to freely engage with Biblical content and how Ligonier works to equip pastors and churches. “For us the first impulse is to equip the pastor…because we know that the church will benefit,” he says. Bridges tells of the difficulties in translating theological concepts into a new language for the first time and the most important thing he gets to do as he builds relationships with persecuted Christians and how Ligonier uses many different and creative angles to provide these tools to Christians in places like China, Iran, Pakistan and other restricted nations. Pray for God's blessings on continued translation work and distribution efforts. Also, check out the from Ligonier for thoughtful reflections on the Christian life and our relationship with God.

The Bible is foundational to everything that disciples of Jesus believe, but is that foundation solid? How can we know? Hasn't it been translated countless times and changed over the centuries? We'll discuss at least five reasons we can trust the Bible and confidently build our lives on the truth God has revealed about Himself.

The message of the Bible is the message of God's love for the world. Today, as we study John 4, we'll see God's love for the world as Jesus brings the Gospel to the people of Samaria.

The Venus Project was started in the 1980s by Jacques Fresco and Roxanne Meadows with the aim of showing that it was possible to lead a more human centered existence… as long as you built outside of the capitalist market system. Over the decades, the fortunes of the project have fluctuated - from an initial burst of enthusiasm and action (Meadows and Fresco built almost all the structures on the property by hand themselves) to the grinding reality of what it means to grow a stable and vibrant community, to the immense surge of popularity just as Fresco's life came to an end. Project members Roxanne Meadows and Nate Dwindiddie come by the show with previous guest Simon Michaux to talk about the failures and successes of the project, and what it might look like when its reborn as the framework for Michaux's Prometheus Project.

Dr Denise Gemmellaro is a forensic entomologist, and my guest today.   We discuss how she initially pursued medical school but found it was not for her.   She found forensic entomology to be a complete and engaging field that allowed her to work on real cases and teach. Dr. Gemmellaro emphasized the importance of students realizing they can change their career path and explore different avenues. Forensic entomology involves the study of insects and arthropods in medico-legal investigations, providing valuable information on the circumstances of death and post-mortem events. In entomotoxicology, substances found in maggots can indicate what was present in the body prior to death, aiding in toxicology analysis. Dr. Gemmellaro has conducted training for law enforcement in forensic entomology, emphasizing the importance of proper evidence collection and handling. She has also been involved in international projects in Africa and Central America to introduce forensic science and inspire local professionals in the field. Dr. Gemmellaro encourages those interested in forensic entomology to explore entomology programs and resources, as well as consider related fields like law enforcement or lab technician roles.   Links for this episode: Health Podcast Network  LabVine Learning Dress A Med scrubs Digital Pathology Club   Dr Denise Gemmellaro email American Board of Forensic Entomology The ESA (Entomological Society of America) ESA pages listing the entomology programs in the US: here and here   People of Pathology Podcast: Twitter Instagram

A Man With a PurposeAfter leading students at Cedarville University to worship the Lord for 40+ years, Jim Cato has retired. Celebrate his story on this episode of the Cedarville Stories Podcast.Jim Cato quickly learned as a young man that his skills were better used off the field than playing football. So he tried Bible college, which didn't work out either, and he eventually dropped out.But after getting married, he and his new wife learned about this small school called Cedarville College in Ohio. They packed up their belongings and moved to Ohio, before even applying or knowing where they were going to live.Jim went on to earn a bachelor's degree in music, still without any clue of what he wanted to do with his life — or how he would use a degree in music. But the Lord began opening doors, including the opportunity to lead a music team on a missions trip to Australia.Shortly after, a position became available in Cedarville's Christian Ministries department. The position was focused on training music teams to travel and minister overseas. Even with Jim's limited experience, he got the job — and he's never left!Jim has faithfully served with Christian Ministries for over 40 years, including taking various trips with Global Outreach, including one providing hurricane relief after Hurricane Harvey.And, instead of solely ministering to the residents in Houston who were affected by the hurricane, in the end, Jim was the one who needed care.After a few days of working in homes with Cedarville students, Jim began to experience headaches. But these were not his typical headaches, as the pain increased each  day.Eventually, the pain led Jim to wake up his roommate in the middle of the night and ask to be taken to an emergency room. And the trip to the hospital proved challenging, as neither the driver nor Jim knew Houston well enough to navigate the trip.After being rushed to the hospital, and doctors performing a battery of tests, Jim learned that he had a brain tumor that needed to be removed immediately.As Jim outlines, not only did he find a hospital to care for him, he went to the hospital best known in Houston for brain surgeries. Only God could direct Jim's path this perfectly.After several days in the hospital, Jim returned to Ohio, and the Lord used that time to strengthen his faith and reinforce his purpose — to worship God and teach others to worship Him.https://share.transistor.fm/s/1646140c

As I sat down with Peter Drummond from the Light a Candle Foundation, his tales of transformative missions resonated with my own longing for purposeful impact. Together, we explored the power of faith in action, journeying from the war-torn vistas of northern Iraq to the secluded villages of India. Peter's inspiring accounts of music, business acumen, and a burning desire to spread hope are a testament to the monumental shifts that can occur when vision aligns with divine calling. Our conversation ventured to the heart of human connection, where simple acts of sharing a meal in the Middle East or reaching out to forgotten communities in India become beacons of transformation. The stories shared are not just of aid delivered, but of bonds forged, cultures respected, and spirits uplifted. Listeners will find themselves in awe of the logistical marathons undertaken by Light a Candle's teams, and the potent role of local pastors in nurturing both immediate relief and sustained spiritual growth. Closing the episode, Peter and I beckoned our listeners to contemplate their role in this expansive narrative. Whether it's hearing the moving tales of rescued children, marveling at the power of prayer over the elements, or feeling the call to act—this episode serves as an invitation. It's a call to extend a hand, to foster change from afar, or to join the front lines of a mission that is as boundless in its reach as it is in its capacity for hope.

In this episode of Transformative Principal, Jethro Jones engages in a profound discussion with Sean Slade, co-head of North America at BTS Spark, about reevaluating traditional perceptions of leadership, particularly around the management of emotions. Sean challenges the archetype of the stoic, emotionless leader, suggesting that vulnerability, emotion, and personal connection are crucial elements for effective leadership, especially highlighted by observations from the first year of the pandemic. The conversation delves into how leaders who embraced their humanity, admitting uncertainty and fostering relationships, tended to succeed more. Drawing on a study and the insights from the book Embracing MESSY Leadership, Sean emphasizes the critical role of emotions in building trust, cultivating teamwork, and enhancing problem-solving capacities. He argues for a shift from controlling to exercising and utilizing emotions as strategic tools in leadership. The podcast also touches on the practical aspects of having difficult conversations and the importance of authenticity, emotional intelligence, and self-awareness in leadership roles. Sean concludes by underscoring the evolving understanding of leadership as beyond a series of tasks, advocating for emotional adeptness as a key leadership skill.Maybe the emotionless leader is not quite correct. MESSY Leadership came out of the pandemicThe leaders who were able to make personal connections, build relationships and show vulnerability did quite well. Exercise your emotion rather than controlling your emotions.Admit uncertaintyPose questions back to teamHigh level of self-awareness and self-confidenceEveryone wants to feel like they matter and they want to belong. You are part of this community. Don't we want to be authentic ourselves?Get communication cards.Leadership as a series of tasks and duties. Making people feel happy on a surface level. What's putting you in the box? And how do you get out of it? Leadership is not a series of checklists. Links:Sean Slade's website: https://www.seanslade.com/ MESSY LeadershipJethro's Communication Cards: https://www.jethrojones.com/communication-cards About Sean SladeSean is the Co-Head of North America at BTS Spark.
