Podcasts about Good Stuff

Today, we’re wrapping it up – the yuck list of what our lives can become when we are not under the influence of the Holy Spirit and following his guidance. So far in Galatians 5: 19-21 we’ve seen the sexual sins we so easily fall into, then the attitudes and behaviors that damage our relationship with God and others. It’s been a real yuck fest hanging out on the wrong side under the wrong influence. What we’ve learned so far is that’s not what we want, nor is that who we want to be. Now finally in verse 21, we have our final things to add to the column on the left labeled ‘Without the Holy Spirit’ – “Drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these.” Before you push away and think the Holy Spirit would never allow you to have fun, that’s not what this is about. This isn’t about making your life boring. This is truly about taking away every imitation of happiness the enemy has tried to entangle you in. God offers us immense joy and overflowing happiness, then Satan swoops in and tries to twist that into a pursuit of things that simply aren’t good for you. Do you realize when God calls something a sin it’s because it’s not good for you. He created you with a specific design, and as your creator he knows what is harmful to your design, so he warns you, “Hey, my child, don’t do this … it’s not good for you.” It’s like the warning label on a hair dryer that says don’t put this in water … Why fight that? We have warning labels on us, why are we fighting it? Understand what is specifically being said—drunkenness and wild parties. The sin is not drinking. The problem is not a party. Jesus was once at a wedding celebration where the wine ran out, so His first public miracle was turning water into wine for the wedding feast (John 2). The sin is intoxication that masters the person. The problem is the party that celebrates the loss of self-control, encourages excess, and creates an atmosphere where people cast off moral restraint. The concern here is not with joy or celebration; the concern is with a culture of indulgence where people surrender themselves to their desires rather than submit themselves to the Spirit. The problem is the party that is built around excess. The Greek word kōmoi used in this scripture refers to revelries—wild, drunken celebrations where restraint is abandoned and sinful behavior is encouraged. This is not a condemnation on gatherings, celebrations, or even the enjoying good things. This is about the kind of partying where intoxication and reckless behavior become the purpose of the event. You know that, “We’re gonna get drunk tonight! Get lit! Let loose!” … yeah that is NOT from the Holy Spirit. It’s hard for me to talk about these things because I have to be honest with you – I have absolutely no experience with it. At 50 years old, I’ve never been drunk a single time in my life. I’ve never been to the club or a bar. I’ve never gotten tipsy and let loose. So no, I really don’t know what that is like. But let me tell you what I’m qualified to talk about – I’m absolutely certain you can have fun and be 100% sober. There’s not a gathering I don’t have fun at. There’s not a celebration where I can’t laugh and enjoy. You can throw a party and it not become wild and wreckless. You can dance, you can sing, you can celebrate, and you can be the life of the party without a single regret. Think about how Jesus must have been when he walked this Earth. The gospels are full of accounts of Jesus being invited to weddings, invited to celebrations and gatherings, continually invited to come over for dinner. Children loved to be around Jesus. You know what this tells me – this tells me Jesus wasn’t boring. He wasn’t a stick in the mud. He wasn’t a downer. He was LITERALLY the life of the party in every sense of the word. Now we carry his spirit within us as his followers. He lives within us. We are empowered to be the life of the party with what he has put within us through our connection with him – and we’ve gotten it all twisted thinking in order for us to be fun and have fun we have to get drunk? That’s just straight from Hell right there. Tomorrow is opening day of my 111th BIG Life Retreat. It’s a girls weekend on the lake where we will tie together all of our floaties and float in the sunshine on the lake. We’ll be playing music and singing. There will be dancing. There will be uncontrollable laughter. There will be random last minute competitions of floating obstacle courses, relays of nonsense, and cheering team mates like we’re winning real gold medals. It will be a full on celebration of happiness. And there won’t be a drop of alcohol. None. When I first started hosting retreats, a whole lot of people didn’t come because they thought it would be impossible to have fun at a gathering without something to loosen them up. How could a girls weekend be a good time without the good stuff? Now, we know THE GOOD STUFF isn’t found in a bottle. The GOOD STUFF is found in God showing us how to celebrate life with pure joy and no regrets. Drunkenness and wild parties intentionally lower restraint with a celebration of impulsiveness, excess and indulgence. That’s the problem. A drunken person often pulls others into the same behavior. It becomes a chain effect. One person gets stupid, then the next person gets stupid. And with a bunch of stupid people not thinking right, sin becomes normalized. That’s not under the direction of the Holy Spirit. God says, “That’s not good for my creation.” So, we come with a warning label just like the hair dryer that’s not to be put in water – we’re vessels for the Holy Spirit and we are not to be drunk going to wild parties. It’s simply not good for us. This isn’t a matter of having all our fun taken away from us. Actually quite the opposite – this is a matter of not being fooled by the enemy and living in such a deeper level of fun offered by God. A fun with no regrets. A fun with full awareness. A fun that represents the joy of the Lord. This week, I’ve given the girls I mentor a challenge – a challenge to be the Ambassador of Fun wherever they are. Fun is a ministry. Really think about that. Fun shows the goodness of God and draws others into him. Misery doesn’t do that. Boring doesn’t do that. But fun sure does. Fun is a breath of fresh air for the soul who questions how much longer they can carry their burden. Fun invites them to see the good in life again. Fun is warfare against darkness, pushing back what the enemy has tried to use to overwhelm. And we can literally minister to others through our holy fun. Walk into every room asking, “How can I leave this place lighter than I found it?” My friend, THAT IS MINISTRY! Do you think I’m a fun person? Do you think I know how to enjoy life? Do you think I know how to throw a party others really want to come to? I can promise you there’s something better than alcohol and stupidity … there’s the Holy Spirit and genuine fun! After the past 4 days of studying the list on the wrong side, maybe you’re breathing lighter because your specific sin hasn’t been listed. That’s why I love it’s all wrapped up with a “and other sins like these.” Yip, it’s covered. Anything not under the guidance of the Holy Spirit is not producing goodness in our lives. It is hurting us or hurting others. It’s not God’s best for us. There’s a song called “Search Me” by Kristian Stanfill that has given me the words to pray. Each morning during my time with God on my knees, I pray these song lyrics: Search me, Lord, and know me Purify my life Find in me anything That doesn't bow to You as King I'm not ok to stay the same From now until life's through Jesus, make me more like You Do whatever You have to do That’s what it’s about – Allow the Holy Spirit to search you and know you. Allow him to find anything within you that doesn’t bow to him as King. Decide right now you’re not okay with just staying the same. You want more – let the Holy Spirit set you free to experience the fullness of life Jesus came to offer you!

Hi. For our third and final Background Information Episode, Ty and Aidan, the hosts of Fun Factor, join us for an hour to flip through magazine reviews of Skies of Arcadia! All four of us are capping out RPG visuals at 8/10, receiving Golden Man location information, misunderstanding Duke Nukem's wants and needs, running the triple negative olympics, borrowing ideas from Final Fantasy, gibbering like mad fools, doing british accents, lamenting 128 bits, harkening back to early days, forecasting typos signaling prestige, disenchanting sourpusses, teetering on magnificence, creating Scott Steiner, and wondering if Nintendo Power was on the take. The remainder of the episode features your normal hosts hacking out random battles, cameoing in other games, teasing a modern release, learning some optimization tricks, sharing memories, laying out expectations, counting stuff, and wondering if Nintendo Power was on the take.

The Approach Angle Nate Schwartz (@_nateschwartz) and Kyle Bland (@blandalytics) talk about the numbers and ideas behind pitch models. The discussion begins by talking about what "stuff" actually is. What does it mean when a scout says a pitcher has great stuff, and how does that get valued? Kyle lays out the pitch characteristics and other factors that go into stuff. Then, they talk about if Stuff models actually do what people want them to do, and what the gaps in the thinking are. Next, the two get into how Stuff models are built. There are different philosophies and concepts that can change how the final output looks, but some inputs are consistent across almost all models. Finally, the discussion shifts into how to use Stuff models and actually understand what the numbers mean for different types of pitchers.

The episode explores why golfers should not expect to feel fully comfortable on the course, especially under pressure, and how accepting nerves, bad swings, or lingering fears can help keep a round together. There is also a debate about whether golfers should tee the ball up on par threes, which is tied to a larger conversation about margin for error, reducing big mistakes, and testing what works best for your own game. Finally, the episode covers how on-course personality affects performance, and why finding the right balance between focus on the ball and staying relaxed between shots can be a major unlock for both scoring and enjoyment.

Most clinics have their most honest conversation about culture when someone's leaving.The vet or nurse is in their last week, and suddenly — they talk. They say what they loved about the team. They describe what made this clinic different. They name the specific things that kept them there as long as they did.Honest. Warm. Specific. Exactly the kind of thing that would make the right person read it and think: that sounds like my kind of place.And the job ad? It might still be running. Still saying passionate team, supportive environment, great work-life balance. The same words it said when it went up. The same words every other clinic uses.In this final episode of the series What Job Ads Were Never Built To Do, Julie South looks at the good stuff that surfaces too late — and what it would take to capture it while it can still do something useful.If you'd like to talk about what that looks like for your clinic — email julie@vetclinicjobs.com.Struggling to get results from your job advertisements?  If so, then shining online as a good employer is essential to attracting the types of veterinary professionals who're a perfect cultural fit for your clinic.   The VetClinicJobs job board is the place to post your next job vacancy - to find out more get in touch with Lizzie at VetClinicJobs

In this episode, Jon and Adam discuss a simple but more useful way to track golf stats without getting buried in apps or misleading numbers like fairways hit and total putts. Jon explains how golfers can evaluate tee shots, approach shots, wedge play, and putting with a basic checkmark/X system focused on whether shots were functional, playable, and connected to scoring. The larger message is that stat tracking only matters if it leads to a better post-round review: identifying good shots, spotting real patterns, and separating ball-striking issues from strategy or mental-process mistakes. The episode also includes a follow-up conversation with Jared Tendler about self-doubt, anxiety, and why golfers do not need perfect confidence to improve or compete well. Ultimately, the discussion encourages golfers to review their rounds with more clarity, less emotion, and a stronger focus on the patterns that actually hold them back.   Purchase Jared Tendler's new book, Everyday Golf Psychology ⁠here⁠ Join the free community Jared created around the book ⁠here Thank you to our show sponsors, Strike Wedge, For Wellness, Rhoback, Warby Parker, and Pestie Golfers who care about their game should care about taking care of their bodies too.

First up: Larry's first time volunteering at a Little Pink Houses of Hope retreat on the Outer Banks — what he expected, what surprised him, and why he's already ready to go back.

His published works include short stories and novellas in humor, mystery, horror, urban fantasy, and science fiction. His most recent publication is The Sad Rains of Mars: New and Collected Stories, which includes nine previously anthologized stories plus three stories exclusive to this edition.

Scott's Star Trek fiction appears in a handful of anthologies and the e-book exclusive The More Things Change. Although he coscripted two IMAX space documentaries, Space Next and Touch the Stars, they've never been booked in his home state, so he's never seen his name on the big screen.

He copyedited the Simon & Schuster Star Trek novels for ten years before becoming their developmental editor. He's an editor and occasional writer for the Star Trek Adventures roleplaying game and proofreads graphic novels and comic books for IDW, including their Star Trek titles. He also copyedits for Baen Books and works directly with many indie authors on their self-published books in the above-mentioned genres.

In this episode, we take a deep dive into one of golf's most misunderstood words: consistency. Adam and Jon unpack why consistency is not about making the exact same swing every time, but rather learning how to manage variability, improve impact patterns, and build bigger margins for error. They discuss why golfers often make themselves less consistent by trying to control too much, and how external focus, differential practice, smarter strategy, and better expectations can all help. If you've ever wondered why your good shots and bad shots can show up in random order, this episode will give you a much clearer framework for understanding what consistency really means in golf.

Recorded April 19, 2026 A one way trip to save all mankind… I'd trust that to a middle school science teacher, but did he submit plans for the sub?

Is modern dating broken or are we just playing it too safe? Sexologist and soon-to-be sex therapist, Tori, joins us for a refreshingly honest conversation about why dating feels so exhausting right now. We cover the swipe-culture trap, why women keep settling for bare minimum, and the very real problem with using ChatGPT to write your texts. Tori breaks down what a real red flag looks like, why inconsistency is the number one relationship killer, and why dating yourself might be your best move yet. Plus, compliments, eye contact, and why your gym is the dating app you're not using.✨ Special Offers: ✨Splash Blanket! | Use code Jordan15ProDx Health | Use JordanDnelle to save 25%Thank you to our Sponsors: Splash Blanket, Prodx, PhexxJump to the Good Stuff:05:23 – Meet Tori, sexologist, sex therapist, & former exotic dancer06:17 – What even IS modern dating?

Bu bölümde bahsettiğim “Hunt the Good Stuff” ifadesi, psikoloji ve dayanıklılık (resilience) alanında kullanılan bir yaklaşım. Temelinde, beynimizin doğal olarak olumsuza odaklanma eğilimini dengelemek ve hayatımızdaki iyi şeyleri bilinçli şekilde fark etmeyi öğrenmek var. Modern hayatın içinde güzel olanı nasıl gözden kaçırdığımızı ve onları yeniden nasıl fark edebileceğimizi birlikte düşünelim.

It's the WORST when people "hide" information or help because they think it will help them get ahead or gain respect...psychology tells us it will do the opposite. In this Good Stuff episode about filling our lives with community, I unpack why we're prone to gatekeeping and why it ultimately works against us. In fact, sharing knowledge, connections, and resources freely is the key to building real community and personal success. What you'll learn: The three mental traps that make gatekeeping feel logical—even when it isn't Why sharing what you know actually deepens your own expertise through the "protege effect" How weak ties and becoming a connector can open doors your closest relationships never could ...and more. If you're ready to stop protecting your seat at the table and start making the table bigger, this one's for you.

In the latest episode of the NDA podcast, Retail Media Age Editor sits down with Meredith O'Brien, Group Agency Director at MiQ, and Paul McGee, Head of Video at Goodstuff, to unpack exactly how programmatic advertising can meet the challenges posed by rapidly-shifting consumer behaviour.O'Brien and McGee dive into the complexity of the current media landscape, how advertiser outcomes are defined, and the challenges of solving for fragmentation, while also exploring the so-called 'collapse' of the funnel and how the advent of AI has upended the traditional customer journey.They then take a close look at a case study that shows how brands - not solely well-resourced, major brands but also smaller, nimble emerging brands - can reach consumers and resonate amidst this fast-moving landscape. Working with Goodstuff and MiQ, challenger men's grooming brand Dr Squatch managed to successfully land its message with its target young, male, urban demographic via YouTube and CTV.O'Brien and McGee also reveal how commerce data allowed them to understand exactly who the campaign resonated with and to link the upper-funnel messaging of the video campaign to retail sales.The conversation is a brilliantly detailed 'under the hood' look at exactly how an effective online video and CTV campaign is built and executed and how it can translate into measurable results for brands.Pulling back to look at the bigger picture, MiQ's Meredith O'Brien also explores the challenges of linking channels such as CTV to tangible ROI, how performance metrics can be brought into an awareness-focused ad medium, and how an openness to experimentation and innovation helps advertisers to stand out.

What if the reason you are constantly craving, constantly second-guessing, and constantly starting over has nothing to do with willpower and everything to do with what is missing from your plate? The hunger-crushing combo is not a diet trend. It is an evidence-based framework that helps your body feel genuinely satisfied, your blood sugar stay stable, and your mind stay focused without the obsession, the restriction, or the rabbit holes that social media and diet culture keep pulling you down.In this episode of Salad with a Side of Fries, Jenn Trepeck and guest Abbey Sharp, registered dietitian and bestselling author, go deep on the science of protein, fiber, and healthy fats and why this trio is the most powerful tool you have for sustainable weight management and long-term health. They also take an unflinching look at skinnytok, infantilized femininity, the dangers of "what I eat in a day" videos, and how to stand firm in what you know works when the internet is working overtime to make you doubt it.What You Will Learn in This Episode:✅ How the hunger-crushing combo of protein, fiber, and healthy fats works together to activate satiety hormones, stabilize blood sugar, and help you naturally reduce calorie intake without restriction or obsession.✅ Why fiber and lean protein are chronically underconsumed by most people and the compelling research showing that simply adding more of these to your diet can slash calorie intake effortlessly and nourish your gut microbiome in the process.✅ What skinnytok actually is and why it is spreading so rapidly through social media algorithms, and the very real physical consequences of chronic underfueling, including muscle wasting and bone density loss, especially in young women.✅ How to evaluate any nutrition claim or online diet trend using a simple set of questions that protect your goals, your media literacy, and your long-term relationship with food.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast, hosted by Jenn Trepeck, explores real-life wellness and weight-loss topics, debunking myths, misinformation, and flawed science surrounding nutrition and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Abbey's personal history with fear foods and how it shaped her evidence-based approach to diet culture08:43 Defining the hunger-crushing combo and why protein, fiber, and healthy fat work together as a system13:06 How protein drives satiety hormones, the thermic effect of food, and naturally reduces calorie intake while protecting lean muscle mass15:47 Why fiber is the underrated hero of weight management, blood sugar stability, and a thriving gut microbiome18:04 Why healthy fats provide the long-term satisfaction that protein and fiber alone cannot deliver at mealtime20:59 The benefits of incorporating the hunger-crushing combo onto your plate25:28 Skinnytok, its roots in Ozempic culture, and why it is normalizing disordered eating for young girls32:57 The concept of infantilized femininity, girl dinner, and how diet culture keeps women small in more ways than one37:02 The problem with what I eat in a day content and how social media algorithms trap viewers in a cycle of food fear41:40 Abbey's practical litmus test: how to evaluate any restrictive dietKEY TAKEAWAYS:

In Part 2 of our conversation with Scott Fawcett from DECADE Golf, we shift from shot shaping into how golfers can actually prepare to score better. Scott shares what he's focusing on as he gets ready for tournament golf, including 20- to 40-foot speed control, basic chip-shot practice, and avoiding the mistakes that lead to big numbers. We also get into a debate on block versus random practice, why so many golfers struggle to take their range game to the course, and how a better pre-shot routine can improve commitment. This episode is all about practicing with more intention and turning your existing game into lower scores. Thank you to our sponsors, For Wellness and LMNT Golfers who care about their game should care about taking care of their bodies too. The Good Stuff from For Wellness is a small scoop that can be added to coffee, smoothies, or protein shakes, with ingredients like collagen for joint support, L-theanine for focus, MCTs for energy, cinnamon for antioxidants, and Himalayan salt for minerals and electrolytes. For Wellness conducted an IRB-approved study showing up to an 85% reduction in joint stiffness in 60 days, and the brand has over 12,000 five-star reviews. Sweet Spot listeners can get the best price on a 90-day subscription and welcome kit at forwellness.com/sweetspot with promo code SWEETSPOT for an extra 10% off. As the weather gets warmer, staying properly hydrated on the golf course becomes even more important. LMNT's new Lemonade Iced Tea flavor combines electrolytes, magnesium, and potassium with no sugar or questionable sports drink ingredients, plus caffeine from black tea extract for a steadier energy boost. Because the caffeine comes from tea, it's naturally paired with L-theanine and polyphenols, which can feel smoother than the spike-and-crash effect of many energy drinks. For golfers looking for hydration and a little back-nine energy, this is a great option to try. With any purchase you're going to get a free sample pack.

In this Good Stuff episode of the Paring Down podcast, I want to share about the flip side of joy—as in, what's getting in the way? So I decided to put together a list of 10 things that are stealing your joy and offers practical, research-backed ways to subtract them from your life. You'll learn: • What "personality trait" isn't one that you have to accept...you can free yourself from its trap! • How to avoid feeling low on time to get everything done • All about "attention residue" • The difference between problem solving and rumination ...and so much more! You can work on removing one thing at a time, and notice how much more room there is for joy when you stop letting these sneaky distractions and habits get in the way.

Monday episode. Good stuff brewing.

(0:10 - 0:48) The podcast episode begins with hosts Marcy Gordon and Beth Costa introducing the show and thanking sponsors like Ron Rubin and River Road Family Vineyards and Winery for their support (0:49 - 1:14) They welcome their guest, Virginie Boone, a celebrated wine writer and podcast host for "The Good Stuff" with Karissa Kruse, and discuss her extensive contributions to wine publications. (1:14 - 1:49) Virginie reflects on her experience as a guest on their show and the benefits of co-hosting, which allows for diverse perspectives and shared responsibilities. (1:50 - 11:48) The conversation highlights Virginie's blog for Sonoma County Wine Growers, where she covers a wide range of topics, from local agricultural history to broader cultural trends, showcasing her curiosity and storytelling skills.  (3:12 - 6:08) Virginie shares her background as a travel writer for Lonely Planet, detailing her early career in digital content and community building, including her work on the Thorn Tree forum. She recounts her transition from travel writing to wine writing, emphasizing the natural connection between the two fields due to their shared focus on sense of place and storytelling. Virginie discusses her current work for Jeb Dunnuck, covering wine regions in California, Washington, Spain, and Argentina, and reflects on her long-standing fascination with Argentina, which she finally visited after years of interest. She also mentions her fluency in French and how it aids her work in Spain, where many winemakers have ties to France. (11:49-18:08) The discussion shifts to Virginie's personal history, including her upbringing as an army brat, her French mother's cultural adjustment to life in the U.S., and her family's eventual settlement in San Francisco. Virginie explains her move to Sonoma County around the time of 9/11, drawn by the region's beauty, proximity to San Francisco, and vibrant community. The hosts and Virginie discuss favorite local spots, including restaurants like Stella and Glen Ellen Star, and wineries like Ramsgate and Beltane Ranch, highlighting the area's rich culinary and wine offerings. (18:09-27:03) The conversation touches on the evolving wine industry, including the rise of white wines and their appeal to younger generations due to their freshness, versatility, and compatibility with diverse cuisines. Virginie and the hosts discuss the importance of independent wine writing, the challenges of modern media, and the joy of discovering well-written, inspiring wine stories. They reflect on the connection between travel writing and wine writing, emphasizing the value of personal experiences and storytelling in understanding wine. (27:04-45:05) Virginie shares her aspirations to visit South Africa, drawn by its wine culture and natural beauty, and discusses the importance of immersing oneself in the places and people behind the wines. The hosts and Virginie explore the concept of "The Good Stuff," inspired by a TED Talk by Karissa Kruse, which encourages savoring life's pleasures and sharing positive stories. They joke about creating a contrasting "The Bad Stuff" series but ultimately focus on the resilience and community spirit of Sonoma County, especially in the face of challenges like wildfires. (45:06-50:34) The episode concludes with a "Fast Five" recipe segment featuring Jacob from Mounds Family Winery, who shares a simple dish of whipped ricotta and marinated tomatoes paired with wine. The hosts announce upcoming events, including the Passport to Dry Creek and the Spring Wine Trail, and discuss the Writing Between the Vines retreat program, which offers writers an opportunity to work in Sonoma's wine country. The episode wraps up with gratitude for Virginie's participation and a reflection on the joy of connecting through wine and storytelling.

We dive into the science and stigma around STI prevention, the role of communication and self-exploration, and how societal expectations shape our experiences in the bedroom.Amber shares insights from her research and her “Pleasure Class” workshops, unpacking why so many women struggle to identify what they actually want and how to start reclaiming it.

In this brief but inspiring episode, Dr. Shaw reminds us to avoid negativity in our lives and let the good stuff in.  She points out that we have the choice to decide the direction and feeling of our daily life, and she even uses a simple example to show how something that could be perceived as not-so-great can be just wonderful IF we allow that perception to happen.  And she also reminds us that this is not just a lesson for adults, but that children will benefit from having a positive outlook on things as well, and that could be an important and powerful tool for them as they grow and go through life.

Watch or listen on YouTube + all major podcast platforms!Write your hottest fantasies into existence! In this episode, Carly, creator of Aurore, joins Jordan D'Nelle to explore the power of smart, sexy erotica for women. Carly shares why women often crave erotica over visual porn, how it fuels imagination, celebrates real bodies, and helps expand your personal “sex bucket list.” Together they dive into the power of writing your own erotica, from reliving hot memories and healing past encounters to straight-up manifesting the sex you want. Along the way, they explore how this practice not only boosts creativity and sexual confidence, but also makes communicating your desires feel easier, more natural, and a lot more fun.Jump to the Good Stuff:03:47 – Why Women Love Erotica More Than Porn06:05 – Healing Through Erotica08:20 – Writing & Manifesting Sex Stories12:15 – Plane Hookups, Gym Pick-Ups & DM Sliding Done Right22:41 – Toxic Situationships vs. Clear Communication25:38 – Erotica in the Bedroom33:15 – Solo Pleasure & Slowing Down37:30 – Defining PleasurePleasure Highlights:Erotica is powerful because it's customizable. You control the fantasy, insert real bodies, and stay fully in your imagination without visual porn's limitations or insecurities.Writing your own sex stories is both arousing and healing. Relive the good, rewrite the disappointing, and even manifest future encounters.Manifestation through writing works. Jordan's spicy stories have literally come true; putting desires on paper (or sharing them) gives clear permission and builds consent.Good sex fuels creativity. When you're having satisfying sex or feeling desired, your creative energy skyrockets.Communication is everything. Whether negotiating desires, setting expectations in dating, or introducing new moves inspired by erotica, be upfront about what you want (and what you don't).Everyday pleasure matters. Slowing down and eroticizing routine moments (coffee, skincare, walking) deepens overall sexual pleasure and life satisfaction.Real, relatable stories hit hardest. Unrequited desire, yearning, and messy human connections often feel hotter than perfect fairy-tale romance.Supportive partners exist. Men who celebrate your sexual openness and even draw inspiration from your work are out there.Connect with Carly Pifer:Instagram @readauroreSubstack @readauroreEnhance your self-awareness by acknowledging and understanding your behavior patterns, and foster a deeper connection with your inner self.

In this episode, we unpack why "having fun" can feel elusive or even guilt-inducing, and how to create more genuine fun in our daily lives as adults. The big pictures is that fun isn't optional for creating joy, so we need to be intentional about what it means to us...and then have more of it. I go over: Why adults often think of "fun" as it relates to childhood—and how that drains joy The misunderstanding that having fun means doing something easy How to define fun on your own terms (instead of what looks “fun” to others) 10 things I personally don't think are very fun (sorry for the hot takes) When you stop trying to make fun look a certain way, you can finally start experiencing more of it!

In this Good Stuff episode on the topic of joy, I sit down with psychologist Janet M. Gibson to explore the psychology of humor and how it impacts our mental health, relationships, and overall well-being.

What happens when your platform grows faster than your character can hold it… and the thing you dreamed of starts costing you what matters most?  In this episode, Keith chats with Andy Cherry, a seasoned worship leader, songwriter, and current touring musician for Brandon Lake, for a raw conversation on identity, shame and calling. Andy shares his whirlwind early career—signing a record deal in his 20s, walking away to fight for his marriage, and the painful (but formative) season of learning to lead when nobody's clapping.  Then it gets personal: the moment Andy realized he wasn't being motivated by God… but by shame—"like you write yourself a letter and forge God's signature on it."  If you've ever felt disqualified, stuck, or afraid to step out again, this will reset your perspective.   Press play and listen now.    About Your Guest  Andy Cherry is a worship leader, songwriter, and musician who has spent years serving the Church both on stage and behind the scenes. Early in his career, Andy released music and led worship in large gatherings before stepping away from the spotlight to focus on his family and long-term calling.  Over the past decade, he has continued writing and collaborating with artists across the worship community, contributing songs recorded by Brandon Lake, Passion, Josh Baldwin, and others. He has also helped shape projects for fellow worship leaders while quietly building a reputation as a trusted songwriter and creative voice.  Today, Andy serves at Seacoast Church and travels as musical director and acoustic guitarist for Brandon Lake. Known for his heart for authenticity and family, Andy is now releasing new music inspired by fatherhood, including his upcoming project Songs For My Son Vol. 1. His latest single, "The Good Stuff," reflects a season of rediscovering what truly matters in life, faith, and worship.      Worship Online is your new secret weapon for preparing each week.
