What do you do when the church — the very community that's supposed to reflect the love of God — becomes a source of real pain? Host Dan Johnson sits down with Scott Bessenecker, author of Bad Religion, Good News: An Honest Guide to Spiritual Disappointment, for an unflinching conversation about church hurt, institutional failure, and the long road toward healing.Drawing on four decades of campus ministry with InterVarsity, Scott shares about being both a victim and participant in the church's sins, the role of self-examination in avoiding the spiral into deconstruction, and why honesty about the church's failures doesn't have to mean abandoning Christian community altogether. He also reflects on his own experience with disappointment with God — including his recovery from a stroke — and what it means to discover that God's presence in grief may be more powerful than miraculous rescue.Whether you've been wounded by a leader, disillusioned by an institution, or are simply trying to maintain an honest and hopeful faith, this conversation offers both clarity and compassion for the journey.IN THIS EPISODEWhat prompted Scott to write Bad Religion, Good NewsBeing both a victim and a participant in the sins of the churchWhy self-examination is essential to navigating disappointment without becoming toxicThe difference between deconstruction and honest disappointmentHow to talk openly about the church's failures without dismissing its goodThe hard work of forgiving an institution that may never apologizeScott's personal experience with a stroke and finding God in grief rather than rescueWhen it's time to leave a church community — and how to do it wellSigns of spiritual hunger in the current generation of young adultsWhat a healthier American church might look like in a decadeGUESTScott Bessenecker is a longtime ministry leader and author who spent four decades with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship. His new book, Bad Religion, Good News: An Honest Guide to Spiritual Disappointment, invites readers into honest conversations about the church's failures — and how to find deeper faith on the other side.RESOURCEShttps://heraldpress.com/9781513817644/bad-religion-good-news/https://slbf.org/studioSend us Fan MailCONNECT WITH USSubscribe to The UpWords Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts and visit slbf.org/studio to learn more about our work at the intersection of faith, the academy, and the marketplace.This episode was created by the SLBF STUDIO at Upper House.Produced by Daniel Johnson and Dave ConourEdited by Dave Conour

Have you done all the right things and still spent two weeks a month feeling like a completely different, much less pleasant person? I get it.Most PMS and PMDD conversations stop at estrogen and progesterone. But if you're still dealing with mood swings, brain fog, or symptoms that show up around ovulation, too, there's a piece nobody's named for you yet. It's histamine. And before you say, "I don't have allergies" - that's not what we're talking about here. In this episode, I'm walking you through why histamine can be a very real driver of your hormonal symptoms, why it tends to spike at two specific points in your cycle, and what's actually going on underneath that your body has been trying to flag.You'll learn:The estrogen-histamine feedback loop that makes symptoms spike at two points in your cycle, including mid-cycle, when you're supposed to feel goodThe specific signs that point to histamine as a contributing factor in your PMS/ PMDD Why supplements like DAO enzyme or Quercetin can help temporarily, and what the real question is that nobody's askingIf histamine has never once crossed your mind as a reason you feel terrible two weeks out of the month - buckle up, because this episode is about to make a lot of things click.And if you're currently tracking your basal body temperatures and your PMS is still not where you want it to be, I have something for a few of you at the end of this episode.

"What does true spirituality actually look like?In Galatians 6:1–10, Paul teaches that life in the Spirit is not primarily seen in outward impressiveness, but in humble love, gentleness, burden-bearing, and service toward others. The Christian life is lived in community, and genuine sanctification manifests itself in how we treat fellow believers.This sermon explores Paul's exhortations to restore those caught in sin, carry one another's burdens, reject pride and comparison, support the ministry of the Word, and persevere in doing good. Paul warns that God is not mocked: whatever a person sows, that he will also reap. Those who sow to the flesh reap corruption, but those who sow to the Spirit reap eternal life.At the heart of this passage is the truth that justification by faith leads to Spirit-produced holiness. The Spirit creates a people marked by humility, mercy, perseverance, and love.In this sermon:What true spirituality looks likeRestoring sinners with gentlenessCarrying one another's burdensPride, comparison, and self-deceptionSupporting the teaching of the WordSowing to the flesh vs. sowing to the SpiritPersevering in doing goodThe relationship between justification and sanctification“Let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.” — Galatians 6:9"

Adoption is often told as a beautiful, full-circle story.But what happens when the story keeps unfolding decades later?In this episode, Rebecca sits down with Niemah Scherlacher, whose adoption story spans cultures, religions, and nearly 60 years of unanswered questions. Born in Jerusalem to a Palestinian mother, placed in a Jewish orphanage, and adopted by a Christian American family—her story has always been described as a miracle.Until the full truth came out.This conversation goes beyond the surface of adoption and into what it actually means to live it—through childhood, adulthood, and the moments that reshape everything you thought you knew about your identity.Because being chosen doesn't erase being given up.And love doesn't cancel loss.This is a deeper look at the lifelong emotional reality of adoption—and what adoptive parents need to understand if they want to truly support their child.What We Cover:Why “you were chosen” isn't the full storyThe emotional impact of uncovering your adoption story later in lifeHow identity evolves at 5, 15, 35, and beyondThe role of faith—and when it helps vs. shuts things downWhat adoptive parents often miss (and why it matters long-term)Why avoiding hard conversations creates more harm than goodThe complexity of growing up across cultures, religions, and historiesHow to support adoptees through grief, even when everything “looks good”Resources:Poem Mentioned: The Adoption Creed poem by Fleur Conkling HeyligerConnect with Niemah: https://www.instagram.com/niemahanne_RG Adoption ConsultingWebsite → ⁠https://rgadoptionconsulting.com⁠ Book a 30-Minute Consult → ⁠https://rgadoptionconsulting.com/contactAre You Ready to Adopt Your Baby Quiz: https://www.rgadoptionconsulting.com/quiz Tune in to The Adoption Roadmap Podcast every Wednesday.

This is a previous episode we had to bring back to the top because intuitively... it's what you need to hear most right now!Ever notice how the same patterns keep repeating in your life? New person, new situation… But the exact same frustrations, emotions, reactions, and endings.No matter how many times you try to “fix” whatever's happening in the moment, it doesn't fully shift. It feels like your life is stuck on repeat and you're the only one who never got the blueprint on how to actually change it.Here's what no one tells you:The problem you think you're dealing with is almost never the real issue. That's why it keeps resurfacing in different forms. You're treating the surface-level trigger, but not what's underneath.In this week's episode, we deep dive into the Source truth behind your patterns:Why faking positivity does more harm than goodThe real reason your problems never seem to get “fixed”How running away from your emotions creates more problemsHow to actually work through the patterns that keep popping upI even share a personal story from my pregnancy, a moment I swore was “the problem” only to realize it wasn't the root at all.If you're ready to finally understand why the same problems keep showing up for you and how to end the cycle for good… this episode is a MUST-LISTEN.Join our $50/mo gym membership for your soul, Unf*ck Yourself Membership! 4 perks, 1 space, weekly energetic healing - https://www.alexandraninfo.com/membershipFOLLOW MEInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/alexandraninfo TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@alexandraninfo You Can Also Listen to Unf*ck Yourself Podcast HereSite - https://www.alexandraninfo.com/podcast Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unf-ck-yourself/id1647393740Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4OfhtVIbV73xuSrZ2MnXKZ?si=f3fabaa47ca4482eYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@AlexandraNinfo

In this episode of Confessions of a Dog Trainer, I'm sharing the real story behind the book I didn't plan on writing - and why e-collar training became the thing I couldn't stop thinking about.After posting a few videos on Facebook and getting flooded with negative comments, I almost stopped sharing about e-collars altogether. But instead of getting defensive, something shifted. I got curious.This episode breaks down the biggest misconceptions I see about e-collar training - the ones that keep so many dog owners stuck, overwhelmed, and unsure of what to trust.If you've ever felt confused, hesitant, or judged for even considering an e-collar… this is for you.In this episode, I talk about:Why I started writing my next book (working title: The Truth About E-Collar Training)The impact of negative comments on social media - and how it shifted my perspectiveHow curiosity changed the way I respond to criticismThe real goal behind this book: helping owners feel less confused and more confident“It's a shock collar” Why that label is misleading and doesn't reflect how modern e-collars are actually used“It electrocutes dogs” What e-collars actually are (muscle stimulation, similar to a TENS unit) and how they work“It's a shortcut or lazy training” Why e-collar training actually requires more intention, structure, and consistency - not lessWhy saying “the e-collar doesn't cause discomfort” can actually do more harm than goodThe importance of honesty and nuance when talking about training toolsThe 3 Biggest E-Collar Misconceptions:Bonus Misconception:Show Notes:Resources Mentioned:My book Dear Owner (available on Amazon)E-Collar Starter GuideReactive Dog Handbook (E-Collar Training for Reactive Dogs)Separation Anxiety Guide30-minute coaching / reassurance calls

Hey Diabuddy thank you for listening to show, send me some positive vibes with your favorite part of this episode.In this episode, Coach Ken and Graham kick things off with a lifestyle update—including a new live show schedule—before diving into a powerful and honest conversation about diabetes management, fear, and long-term risk.What starts as a light discussion around everyday challenges (yes… even pockets and carrying supplies) quickly evolves into a deeper conversation around diabetes complications, scare tactics, and the reality behind the numbers.They unpack commonly misunderstood topics like amputation risk, long-term complications, and how statistics are often presented without context—especially when comparing type 1 and type 2 diabetes More importantly, Ken shares a strong perspective on why fear-based messaging doesn't work for most people—and what actually does: education, support, and real-life application.This episode is a reminder that while risks exist, your daily decisions—and the support you surround yourself with—are what truly shape your future.

I've been saying for years that marketing is increasingly visual — whether it's social media, YouTube, websites, or even AI-generated content. But most of us aren't designers, and we're winging it when it comes to visual branding. My guest today is Jim MacLeod, author of The Visual Marketer, and he's someone I've known for about a decade — back when I co-founded the Social Tools Summit and invited him to speak about visual social media from a B2B perspective. Jim has a rare combination of graphic design expertise and deep marketing strategy knowledge, and in this conversation he breaks down how to think about visual identity from a customer-first perspective, why consistency matters more than creativity when building your brand, and how to align your visual content strategy with actual customer research. Whether you're a solopreneur designing your own graphics in Canva or a marketing leader managing a creative team, this episode will change how you think about the visuals that represent your business.KEY TOPICS:Jim's career path from graphic designer to B2B marketing strategist at Extreme NetworksWhy designers who understand the end customer produce dramatically better marketing assetsHow to develop a visual brand identity that resonates with your audience, not just looks goodThe importance of customer research and focus groups in shaping your brand identityWhy consistency matters more than creativity — and when to resist the urge to rebrandRepurposing visual content: building a content calendar around a pillar piece with pre- and post-promotionWhen to brand heavily vs. when to keep it subtle (thought leadership vs. solution content)Applying lean startup thinking to visual content strategy and product developmentHow people visually move through an image and why that matters for engagementTools and approaches for non-designers to create effective visual marketingRESOURCES & LINKS:The Visual Marketer by Jim MacLeod —https://amzn.to/4vc1BWn Visual Marketer website: https://visualmarketer.coJim MacLeod's website: https://jimmacleod.comJim on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimmacleodLearn More:Buy Digital Threads: https://nealschaffer.com/digitalthreadsamazonBuy Maximizing LinkedIn for Business Growth: https://nealschaffer.com/maximizinglinkedinamazonJoin My Digital First Mastermind: https://nealschaffer.com/membership/ Learn about My Fractional CMO Consulting Services: https://nealschaffer.com/cmoDownload My Free Ebooks Here: https://nealschaffer.com/books/Subscribe to my YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/nealschafferAll My Podcast Show Notes: https://podcast.nealschaffer.com

What happens when two of the biggest life transitions collide at exactly the same time? For grief coach Sarah Kagan, that meant losing her mother at six months pregnant and learning to live through loss while preparing to bring a new life into the world.Sarah is a mother to two young kids, a former corporate professional who walked away from her career to follow a calling, and someone who is building a platform to change the way we talk about grief, especially in the workplace.In this conversation, Ashley and Sarah dig into what it really means to grieve in real time, why the pressure to “be strong” is one of the most isolating things we do to each other, and what it looks like to hold loss and love at the same time, without having to choose between them.In This EpisodeWhat it means to be a “motherless mother” and why grief hits differently once you're a parentThe moment at her mother's Shiva that taught Sarah everything about how we avoid griefWhy “you're so brave” and “at least she's not suffering” do more harm than goodThe martyrdom trap — and how stepping out of it changed everything for SarahThe statistic that 51% of people leave their jobs within a year of a major lossHow Sarah rebuilt her work life after leaving corporate — no 9-to-5, Wednesdays for arts and crafts, out by 4pmWhy grief needs a better spokesperson (and what menopause got right)The problem with bereavement leave policies that tell you who you're allowed to mournAshley opens up about losing her father to suicide and the shame layered on top of certain kinds of lossHow to slow down after caregiving — and why your body will eventually make youSarah's grief workbook and creative morning kits: where does the love go when someone dies?Quotes From This Episode“There's so much pressure to cover up or perform or just show up and be like, yeah, I'm fine. But it is a big deal and you need someone else to validate that experience for you.” — Sarah Kagan“Trying to put a period on something that's an ellipsis.” — Sarah Kagan, on toxic positivity around grief“No one helps you speed up.

David and Adam are back in the groove for Lent. They open with a timely conversation about Pope Leo's call for priests to stop using AI to write homilies, and why that warning matters far beyond the pulpit. The guys explore how AI threatens the muscles of human creativity, the irreplaceable nature of human-to-human proclamation of the Gospel, and where men should draw their own lines before the technology draws them for you.Then it's deep dive time into Dante's Divine Comedy — specifically the Dantinian ordering of sin, love, and the moral life across the Inferno and Purgatorio. David and Adam unpack:Why lust is the first (mildest) circle of Hell — and why that's actually a message of hope, not a free passWhy fraud and treason sit at the bottom — and what it means to so disfigure your soul that evil looks like goodThe mirror structure of Purgatory — pride at the base, lust at the summit, and why the climb starts nowMisdirected love, deficient love, and excessive love — how Dante's ladder maps directly onto your daily examination of conscienceWhy Hell is isolation and Purgatory is communion — and what that says about Christian hopeAcedia (sloth) redefined — it's not laziness, it's spiritual sluggishness, and it may be the most dangerous sin of the comfortableCato's charge at the gate of Purgatory: Run. Don't wait a second.The guys also taste a rare bottle of Angel's Envy Rye finished in Anejo Tequila barrels (104 proof, surprisingly mellow), give a shout-out to their upcoming 10-year anniversary, and share a sneak peek at the Catholic Man Show Campout short film dropping soon on Patreon.Resources mentioned:The Divine Comedy by Dante AlighieriAscend the Great Books podcast with Deacon GarlickPatreon.com/TheCatholicManShowSelectInternationalTours.com

Capability Unboxed Mini Series (powered by CIAB+) #2Most organisations plan for capacity and assume capability. And that's exactly where things start to break.In this punchy second episode of our Capability Unboxed mini-series, Fatimah Abbouchi unpacks one of the most common – and costly – misconceptions in planning: the belief that headcount equals capability.She draws a sharp line between the two:Capacity tells you how much effort is availableCapability determines what you can actually deliverFrom fuzzy resourcing assumptions to chronic re-planning and key person risk, this episode dives into why more people, more budget, or more tools won't fix a systemic capability gap.You'll learn:Why throwing people at problems often accelerates failureHow capability-led planning flips the planning sequence for goodThe hidden cost of capability confusion on delivery, morale, and stakeholder trustWhether you're leading strategy, delivery, or transformation, this episode is a must-listen for shifting your planning mindset—and outcomes.

Send a textMany wives built emotional walls for good reasons—hurt, betrayal, disappointment, or exhaustion. But what once felt protective can quietly block intimacy, desire, and connection.In this episode, Chelsey gently exposes the difference between biblical guarding and hardened walls, and why God never intended protection to cost you tenderness.This episode will help you understand:How guarding turns into emotional walls over timeWhy walls block intimacy even when intentions are goodThe difference between wisdom and hardeningHow God softens the heart without removing discernmentWhy intimacy requires openness—not self-protectionIf your heart feels closed, distant, or numb—even while “doing everything right”—this episode will help you return to softness without fear.

Send us a textStanford professor Jeffrey Pfeffer joins Joe Byerly for a candid and provocative discussion about power—what it is, how it works, and why more good people need to learn to use it. Drawing from his influential books Power: Why Some People Have It and Others Don't and The 7 Rules of Power, Pfeffer challenges listeners to see the world as it really operates—not as we wish it to be.In this conversation, Joe and Dr. Pfeffer unpack why power isn't inherently bad, how to build influence without losing integrity, and why refusing to “play the game” guarantees you'll lose it.

“One reason why it can feel so hard to listen to your body is because it is not normalized to move in a variety of ways that you would want to. There are certain ways of moving that are allowed or socially accepted but others are very rare to see. Therefore, it makes a lot of sense that we don't know what our body wants or can't listen to it because we always shut it down.” - David BantjeIn this episode, I'm joined by natural movement practitioner, and my loving partner, David Bantje. In this episode, he offers a refreshing, intuitive reframe on how we can shift our relationship to movement for a more liberated , and playful life. Rather than treating movement as a chore, isolated workout, or something we only do in designated spaces, David invites us to see movement as a birthright—something our bodies crave and have evolved to do in diverse, dynamic ways. He discusses how mainstream exercise culture, with its narrow focus and rigid intensity, can leave us disconnected from the deeper intelligence of our bodies. Instead, natural movement emphasizes accessibility, variety, injury prevention, and playfulness, allowing us to reconnect and reclaim our capacity for taking risks, curiosity, and aliveness. This isn't about perfection or discipline, but about attunement: giving our bodies the space to lead.In this episode we discuss:How chronic pain and injuries "stack up" from habitual postures and sedentary lifestylesWhat natural movement is, and how it helps realign us with what our bodies evolved to doThe limits of conventional fitness culture and why high-intensity, short bursts of exercise can do more harm than goodThe power of movement snacks—simple, frequent movements throughout the day—to support flexibility, awareness, and healingMovement as medicine in the context of illness, disability, and injury (including David's experience with a herniated disc)Relearning how to listen to your body, even when it doesn't communicate in languageWhy reclaiming natural movement can be a path not only to health—but to joy, agency, and freedomBioLinksDavid's Substack: https://davidbantje.substack.com/Katie Bowman: https://www.nutritiousmovement.com/Natural Movement Classes: https://movnat.com/Resources:Get the book: ⁠⁠⁠Mad Studies Reader: Interdisciplinary Innovations in Mental Health⁠⁠Become a member: ⁠⁠The Institute for the Development of Human Arts⁠⁠Train with us: ⁠⁠Transformative Mental Health Core Curriculum⁠Sessions & Information about the host: ⁠⁠⁠JazmineRussell.com⁠⁠⁠Disclaimer: The DEPTH Work Podcast is for educational and entertainment purposes only.

Science can change your life. The more we study what makes people develop, grow, learn, and flourish—the more we see how the practical application of scientific findings can help us transform our life and experience—into a life of value, meaning, purpose and true thriving.Yale psychologist Laurie Santos has spent her career investigating the human brain and how it thrives. From her popular Yale course to her podcast, The Happiness Lab, she's communicating actionable and hopeful lessons for how to build lasting habits, cultivate self-compassion, manage complex emotions, and realign our lives toward meaningful happiness.In this conversation with Dr. Laurie Santos, we discuss:How the mental health crisis affecting young people changed her, and how she teaches psychologyHow our brains lie to usThe role of positive and negative emotions in a good lifeHow feeling good can lead to doing goodThe psychological and relational benefits of faith and spiritualityAnd she offers practical insights, science-backed guidance, and powerful exercises for managing misalignment and difficult emotions.Laurie Santos on how to activate psychological science for more happiness and meaning (from the episode):“Some of these factors that we know scientifically do work. From simple behavior changes like being more social, doing nice things for others, just healthy habits  like sleeping and moving your body,  to mindset shifts, to becoming a little bit more present, to becoming more other oriented, to becoming more grateful, more self-compassionate, and so on.There are shifts that we can make that can have a huge effect on how we actually interact in the world.We need to understand that we're not perfect, we're just human. And we will mess up a little bit too. But it's really the journey that   matters.”About Laurie SantosDr. Laurie Santos is the Chandrika and Ranjan Tandon Professor of Psychology at Yale University and host of The Happiness Lab podcast. Dr. Santos is an expert on the science of happiness. Her Yale course, Psychology and the Good Life, teaches students how the science of psychology can provide important hints about how to make wiser choices and live a life that's happier and more fulfilling.
