Podcasts about Gratitude

Some seasons stack up so fast and so full that the only prayer you can manage is a whispered thank You for enough for today. In the same thirty days of May 2009, there was a newborn, a high school graduate, and a husband finishing his master's degree — and standing in a kitchen surrounded by food and relatives and celebration, that simple, barely-formed prayer was enough. Not a prayer for the week. Not a reflection on the month. Just enough for the day. Ecclesiastes 3 is one of Scripture's most beloved passages, but Solomon did not write it from a comfortable distance. He wrote it from the far side of a life that had demanded everything from him — cities built, kingdoms governed, people buried. When he declared that every activity under the heavens has its appointed time, he was writing from inside the weight of it. The Hebrew word translated "time" is eth, meaning an appointed time, something set and known in advance. Which means the season you are in right now was not a surprise to God. He saw the stacked calendar, the short nights, and what it cost you to show up anyway. He set this season in place knowing exactly what it would require. And that means He also set its end. The exhaustion you feel is not a sign that something has gone wrong. Some seasons are simply full, and God is carrying you through every single day of them. Bible Verse "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance."— Ecclesiastes 3:1-4, NIV Ponder Today The exhaustion you feel is not a sign that something has gone wrong. Some seasons are simply full. God does not expect you to feel rested in a season He designed to require everything from you. Your current season was not a surprise to God. He saw it before you were living it. He set it in place, He knows what it is costing you, and He also set its limits. This season has an end that He already knows. Gratitude for today is enough when you cannot see the week. Sometimes the most faithful prayer is the smallest one. Thank You for enough for today is a prayer God honors fully. Solomon wrote Ecclesiastes from inside the weight of a demanding life, not from a distance. His wisdom about seasons is not theoretical comfort. It is hard-won truth from a man who had built, lost, buried, and endured. That makes it worth holding onto. God is not just watching you hold it all together — He is holding you. When you feel like you are barely keeping everything going, the deeper truth is that He is keeping you. Rest in that when the house finally gets quiet. A Prayer for You Today Heavenly Father, I am coming to You today, worn out. The things filling my days are not bad things. Some of them are things I have prayed for, and You have graciously given. But I am tired, and the most words I can find right now are the ones whispered at a graduation party: thank You for enough for today. Help me trust that You saw this season before I was living it. You set it in place, and You set its limits. When I feel like I am barely keeping everything going, remind me that You are keeping me. When the house finally gets quiet and I sit down and feel it all at once, let that be the moment I rest in You instead of just collapsing. Thank You that the seasons change. Help me keep going with open hands until this one shifts. In Jesus' name, Amen. Don't Miss an Episode If today's prayer gave your weary heart permission to exhale, we'd love to stay connected.

There's a new Niles in the world. Joshua Benedict Rex was born this week, and Dave wants you to know how stressful it all was. For the dad, that is. The pressure. The anxiety. All those things. None of which come to mind right now. Joke's on Dave, though, because Lady Pamela got to the birth center, the midwife offered to break her water, and Joshua arrived eleven minutes later. That's boy number three, bringing the count to three boys and four girls. Adam got the "we're going in" text at the hospital, stopped to pray, and barely beat the birth. The baby's a content little guy. A stereotypical Niles baby, the spitting image of baby Davy. Baptism's in a couple weeks with Uncle Father Sean, godparents are Sarah and Drew, and somewhere in there is a real theology question the guys throw to the priests who listen: can you name godparents after the fact for a baby baptized in a rush? Asking for a Mary.That birth set the whole table. Every time a baby comes into this circle of friends, the men pull their money, buy one nicer bottle of whiskey, sign it with the kid's name, and drink it together. They call it the "baby bottles" tradition. It blends friends into family. And it's exactly the kind of gift that makes you grateful, which is what this whole episode is about.They're recording on a Friday, the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart, the same day the bishops of America consecrated the entire country to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The pour is Glendalough, a pot still Irish whiskey the guys actually visited on pilgrimage. Triple distilled by law, smooth, no burn, and oddly cheap. The bottle shows St. Kevin in cruciform, a bird nesting in his open hand. The pious legend says he held that prayer posture so long the eggs hatched. Jim's scale (Irish edition): 3.96 out of 6.Then the meat: gratitude. Not the bumper-sticker kind. Gratitude is a virtue, a sub-virtue of justice, because it renders to another what's due, first to God who gave us everything. Aquinas lays out three degrees: recognition, expression, repayment. Most of us fail at the first one. We take the morning, the clothes, the breath for granted. St. Bernard calls ingratitude a scorching wind that dries up the streams of grace. God pours, the man doesn't return thanks, the flow stops.The hardest, most masculine turn in the episode is receiving. Men hate it. I don't need your charity. I can carry this cross. But refusing a gift graciously offered isn't humility. It's a wall. Adam's lived on the receiving end through Mary's time in the NICU, and he's learned the Christian paradox: the more graciously indebted you are, the richer your life, because the score is never even. That's not a debt to clear. That's a brotherhood.And the punchline ties it all together. Eucharist means thanksgiving. A man of gratitude is a Eucharistic man. You can't repay God for creating you, so He came down, became one of us, and offered Himself on your behalf. All you have to do is show up. Protect, provide, establish, and give thanks. Raise your glass.TOPICS COVEREDJoshua Benedict Rex Niles is born, baby boy number three, bringing the Niles count to three boys and four girlsDave's tongue-in-cheek case that the dad has it hardest in childbirthLady Pamela's eleven-minute birth at the birth center after the midwife broke her waterThe "kingship" theme running through the Niles boys' names: David, Joseph, and now Joshua Benedict RexWhy every Niles baby is a "cookie cutter" content baby, and Joshua looking just like baby DavyThe wonder that a child somehow looks like both mom and dad, "only God could make a baby look like both"Baptism plans with Uncle Father Sean and godparents Sarah and DrewThe open question for the priests who listen: can you name godparents after the fact for a baby baptized in a rush?The "baby bottles" tradition, the men pooling money for a signed bottle of whiskey to honor each new babyWhy this kind of tradition blends friends into familyRecording on the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart, and the U.S. bishops consecrating the country to the Sacred Heart of JesusWhiskey of the week: Glendalough pot still Irish whiskey, triple distilled and smoothThe legend of St. Kevin of Glendalough, the bird's nest in his hand and his love of all God's creaturesWhy Irish whiskey is the most approachable place to start, and surprisingly cheapJim's scale (Irish edition): 3.96 out of 6"Better than I deserve, I'm sure," Adam's go-to answer to "how are you?"The man at the pharmacy who'd just lost his wife, and never knowing what people are carryingGratitude as a virtue, and specifically a sub-virtue of justiceThe book of Job as the model of gratitude to the core: "the Lord has given and the Lord has taken away"Why a member of the Body of Christ is doing well no matter what else is going wrongAquinas's three degrees of gratitude: recognition, expression, repaymentWhy recognition is the weak spot for most people, the habit of taking things for grantedThe internal act of the will toward the benefactor as the heart of repaymentThe humility it takes to receive a gift, and why most men refuse charityHow receiving a gift graciously multiplies joy and binds a community togetherThe Christian paradox of being "graciously indebted," and why the score is never evenSt. Bernard of Clairvaux on ingratitude as a burning wind that dries up the streams of graceDeacon Garlick's prayer of thanks as a model for opening prayerMeditating on the magnitude of the Incarnation, the worm-and-the-man analogyWhy real men don't complain or "vent," and complaining as carrying the cross while griping about its weightDying for your family is easy; living for your family is hard, the little deathsAre you willing to get up, eat right, moderate your drinking, and put the phone down for your family?The Malcolm Gladwell mentorship lesson and the hidden cost of remote work, tribal knowledge not getting passed downWhy none of our best fatherhood or business "hacks" are original, and the duty to pass them onSt. John Chrysostom and St. Thérèse of Lisieux: gratitude as the superpower of the soulWhy you won't become holy without the habit of gratitude"People need to be reminded more than they need to be instructed"Keeping the right perspective so you don't live in a false reality the devil wants for youEucharist means thanksgiving, a man of gratitude is a Eucharistic manREFERENCED IN THIS EPISODEBooks & Writings:The Book of Job (the model of gratitude through suffering)The Summa Theologiae by St. Thomas Aquinas, Second Part of the Second Part (the three degrees of gratitude; ingratitude as sin)Malcolm Gladwell's work on mentorship and learning a craft (referenced by Adam)Saints & Church Fathers:St. Thomas Aquinas (the three degrees of gratitude; gratitude as a sub-virtue of justice)St. Bernard of Clairvaux (the "leaky vessel"; ingratitude as a burning wind that dries up the streams of grace)St. Kevin of Glendalough (the bird's-nest legend; love of God's creatures)St. John Chrysostom ("gratitude is the superpower of the soul")St. Thérèse of Lisieux (gratitude and the spiritual life)Simon of Cyrene (carrying the cross with Christ)People:Adam Minihan (host; founder of M6 Marketing; writes The Grounded Builder on Substack)Jim (in studio, keeper of the yummy scale)Lady Pamela Niles (delivered baby number seven)Joshua Benedict Rex Niles (newborn), David Jr., and Joseph Niles (the "kingship" names)Baby Mary Minihan (still in the NICU, the gifts and prayers received)Uncle Father Sean (baptizing Joshua); Sarah and Drew (godparents)Deacon Garlick (his prayer of thanks)Programs & Institutions:The Catholic Man Show pilgrimage (where the guys visited Glendalough)Glendalough Distillery, IrelandSPONSOR BLOCKSponsor: Select International Tours: selectinternationaltours.comWhen Adam and Dave decided to lead their first pilgrimage, one name kept coming up: Select International Tours.

Eric Perner spent most of his early life and career on horseback learning the craft and trade of equine athletic competitions at the highest level.  After competing nationwide as a professional journeymen jockey for 10 years he retired and completed his Mechanical Engineering degree at the University of Tulsa, he has since received his Professional Engineering license and served in multiple executive roles in the O&G industry.  Later he moved on from the extractive O&G industry and became a full time cattle rancher, Co-Founder/CEO of REP Provisions, a direct to consumer supplier of locally raised regenerative meats from local family farms, and COO of Rebellion Energy Solutions, a company focusing on the plugging of leaking O&G wells and the restoration of these lands to regenerative landscapes.  He uses his diverse skill sets to develop unique environmental solutions in the Energy Industry and for various problems facing agriculture. Eric is an educator on the topic of regenerative agriculture and his unique insights show why cattle can be an intricate and necessary part of our grassland ecosystems; however, the improper management of cattle can lead to environmental degradation.  Eric owns the Double P Ranch in Mounds, Oklahoma where they produce grass-fed beef, goat, lamb and pastured pork as part of the supply chain for REP Provisions. He operates his ranch as a Savory Global Business Hub to provide restoration grazing education and guidance for other local ranchers in the methods of holistic management to create the conditions that lead to the regeneration of our native grasslands.  In this episode, Tara and regenerative rancher Eric Perner dive into how truly regenerative agriculture restores soil, water cycles, and biodiversity while improving human health and why voting with your food dollars really matters.   RESOURCES: Learn more about Rep Provisions: Vote for the future of food with your dollar!

Some days just suck and that’s okay. Here’s what you can do about it with simple these mood elevators. There will be times when a bad mood hangs around. Maybe something triggered you. It could be a cloudy day when you counted on sunshine. Or you might feel crummy or no reason at all. You just feel off. [Join me at the Intuition Cafe – the 1st & 3rd Wednesdays every month from 10 -11am ET for just $11/session.] Feeling Dysregulated A lot of people describe this as feeling dysregulated, which includes feeling anxious, irritable, overwhelmed, emotionally reactive, or just plain blah. The truth is there’s likely nothing truly wrong. You’ve had too much stress, too much news, too many demands. You haven’t had enough downtime or sleep. You’re overdue for some self-care. The good news? You don’t need therapy, a silent meditation retreat, or an appointment of any kind to feel more at peace. These five simple mood elevators are free, fast, and surprisingly powerful. I’m sharing them today because honestly, I’ve been in a mood myself for a few days and putting this together for you has already lifted my spirits. 1. Start Moving One of the fastest ways to lift your mood is to move your body, even for just a couple of minutes. Go outside, especially if it’s sunny. Fresh air and natural light work quickly to shift your emotional state. But even a rainy day has its benefits. Rain actually reduces an overabundance of positive ions that are absorbed from electronics and screens. Walking in the rain, taking a shower, or spending time near moving water like a stream or the ocean helps clear that energetic overload. Other easy options: Put on your favorite music and dance around the room for three minutes Take a short walk around the block Do a few minutes of stretching Try just three yoga poses Get physical, even briefly, and watch how quickly things start to shift 2. Stop Arguing with Reality When you’re in a bad mood, your mind can drift to unhappy thoughts. Then you might think you shouldn’t feel this way. Or other people have it worse and even things aren’t really that bad. But pushing your feelings away doesn’t make them go away. It suppresses them, and that’s not good for your emotional health long-term. The faster path to feeling more at peace is actually to own what you’re feeling. Face it. Accept it. Don’t make yourself wrong for it. When you acknowledge your feelings, even the uncomfortable ones, that’s often the quickest way to move through them and come out the other side. 3. Find One Tiny Thing Going Your Way Okay, this might feel difficult, but the truth is EVERYTHING is not bad. Even on your worst days, something is working in your favor. You don’t need to drag out you gratitude journal or make a list of 20 things. Just noticing one positive thing will be a solid mood elevator. Did you eat a good lunch? Find something on sale? Pay your bills and have a little left over? Hit a string of green lights? (One of my personal favorites!) These tiny moments count. I’ll share one that happened to me just yesterday. A client I coached a few years ago texted to say he got engaged. He was a sweet guy who struggled with social anxiety around dating, and we worked together to find some simple solutions. He sent me their happy engagement photo and said it wouldn’t have happened without me. I left him the most choked-up voicemail. That moment brought me completely to tears in the best heart-filled way. Finding even one thing that’s going your way shifts your brain out of fight or flight mode and into a place of greater peace and joy. Try it right now. 4. Call a Funny Friend As I was sitting down to write this episode, my phone rang. It was my friend Tammy. She has this gift for finding the humor in everything. We ended up reminiscing about our 20s, when we’d get together every Thursday night to listen to new music and dance in my living room. Laughing with someone who knows you well is one of the most a powerful mood elevators. If you have a friend with a good sense of humor, call her. Tell her your moody little story. Find the humor in it together. Nostalgia is genuinely uplifting. That’s why people love a good stroll down memory lane. Childhood stories, old shared jokes, funny memories are all good stuff, and can absolutely raise your spirits. Who could you call right now? 5. Create a Moment of Delight This is a fun one. What’s one small, easy thing that’s guaranteed to bring a little joy back into your day? Here’s mine – mascara. I stopped wearing mascara during COVID. Who was I going to see? But this year I started putting it on again every single day, just for me. When I catch myself in the mirror now, I smile. Those long dark lashes make me feel pretty and more youthful. That’s a genuine moment of delight, and it costs almost nothing. Here’s another one. I recently discovered a brand of sugar-free chocolate made with allulose that tastes just like the real thing. No funny aftertaste, no compromise and only one carb! It’s called Goalz  I’m not getting paid to say that, I just love it and had to share. Your moment of delight might be an iced coffee, a hot scented bath, a funny cat video, drawing Zentangles, or cutting flowers from your garden to put on the kitchen table. Whatever it is, do it now. Don’t wait until later. You deserve a moment of delight today. Bonus: Ground Yourself and Breathe Sometimes what you really need is to reconnect with the earth beneath your feet which is one of the most powerful mood elevators. Try this: This is a three-minute practice. Close your eyes and imagine sending roots down from the soles of your feet, deep into the earth. Connect with the soil, stones,  plants, and all the creatures. Acknowledge the four directions and all the elements. Say hello to the nature spirits. Thank Mother Earth for giving you a home for this life. Then take three slow, deep breaths. With each inhale, draw earth energy back up through those roots, up through your feet, and into your body. Draw the energy all the way up through the top of your head. As that energy rises, picture each of your chakras lighting up in sequence from root to crown. Notice how you feel afterward. This simple practice can open your energy field, deepen your breathing, and calm your nervous system. It can help you feel genuinely connected again. Your connection to the earth and nature is one of the most reliable paths to inner peace. Key Takeaways Feeling dysregulated or moody is normal. It doesn’t mean something is truly wrong. Moving your body, even for just a few minutes, is one of the fastest ways to shift your emotional state. Accepting your feelings rather than fighting them helps you move through them more quickly. Gratitude doesn’t have to be a big practice. One good thing is enough to help shift your brain out of fight or flight mode. Laughter and nostalgia are genuinely powerful mood elevators. Do not underestimate them. Small moments of delight are available to you right now, today, at little to no cost. Grounding with breathwork can reset your energy and restore a sense of peace in just a few minutes. Frequently Asked Questions What does it mean to feel dysregulated? Feeling dysregulated means your nervous system is out of balance. You might feel anxious, irritable, emotionally reactive, exhausted, or unable to focus. It’s often caused by too much stress, too little rest, or sensory overload from things like news and social media. It’s not a clinical diagnosis, it simply means your system needs some care and reset. What are the fastest ways to lift your mood naturally? The fastest natural mood boosters include moving your body (even briefly), going outside, calling a funny friend, and finding one small thing to feel grateful for. These methods work because they shift your nervous system out of threat mode without requiring any appointments, products, or significant time. Why does changing your physical state help your mood? Your body and mind are deeply connected. Physical movement releases tension, shifts your energy, and triggers neurochemical changes that help you feel better. Even three minutes of dancing, a short walk, or standing in sunlight can have a noticeable effect on how you feel emotionally. Is it okay to just sit with a bad mood? Yes, and in fact, accepting your feelings rather than fighting them is often the most effective approach. Suppressing emotions keeps them stuck. Acknowledging them without judgment allows them to move through you naturally. What is grounding and how does it help emotional well-being? Grounding is a practice of consciously connecting your energy to the earth. It can involve visualization, breathwork, or walking barefoot outside. Grounding helps regulate your nervous system, deepen your breathing, and restore a sense of calm and inner peace. It’s one of the best mood elevators! How can I feel more at peace on a difficult day? Start small. Move  your body, accept how you’re feeling without judgment, or find one tiny thing going your way. You might reach out to someone who makes you laugh, treat yourself to one small moment of delight, or take a few slow deep breaths. You don’t need to do all six. Even one can begin to shift your mood. Now you know that feeling moody from time to time is part of being human. And, the good news is that you have more tools than you might think to feel more at peace and most of them are easy and already within reach.

For more than 25 years, Emmy-winning actress Mariska Hargitay has captivated audiences as Olivia Benson on Law & Order: SVU. But in this deeply personal chapter, Mariska is turning the camera on herself. She sits down with Hoda Kotb to open up about her vulnerable documentary My Mom Jayne, where she explores the childhood loss of her mother, long-held family secrets, and healing past wounds. Mariska also shares what it is like to make her terrifying yet exhilarating Broadway debut at age 62 in Every Brilliant Thing, revealing how local heroes like Jalen Brunson inspire her work ethic, and how training ourselves in gratitude can fundamentally shift how we see the world.

In this episode, I sit down with Kent Dunnington to talk about his book Gratitude to God and how true gratitude is more than just a feeling: it’s a way of life that shapes our relationship with God. We unpack how gratitude is at the very heart of the Christian faith and how it transforms the way we see our circumstances, our struggles, and even our spiritual formation. If you’ve been wanting to grow in thankfulness but don’t know where to start, this conversation will help you move beyond surface-level gratitude and into a deeper, more rooted joy in Christ.

How do you become a grateful person?In this reflection on Psalm 103, John Ortberg explores one of the great themes of spiritual life: gratitude.At the center of Psalm 103 is a simple command:"Forget not all His benefits."Drawing from philosopher Robert C. Roberts and the rich imagery of the Psalm itself, John explores why gratitude grows through remembering and why forgetting often leads to entitlement.This episode explores:- Psalm 103 and gratitude- The meaning of the soul- The logic of gratitude- God's forgiveness and compassion- Remembering God's benefits- Gratitude as a spiritual practiceScriptures:- Psalm 103- Luke 7- Deuteronomy 6- Leviticus 19#Psalm103 #JohnOrtberg #Gratitude #Thankfulness #Prayer #SpiritualFormation #ChristianFaith #BibleStudy #Psalms #Soul

I truly believe there was divine timing behind this conversation. I reached out to todays guest, Luke Eggebraaten because we had a lot of things in common. What I didnt know was that Luke was already reading my book! It's my hope that this conversation will encourage you to invest in yourself.   In this episode, you'll discover…  Lukes Story (2:15) Why you need to find your "niche"  (7:55) Why Luke took an 8-week sabbatical. (10:36)  How to scale your business without burnout. (16:00)   Luke's Bio:  For Luke, a typical day is about 60% working on the business, 10% working in the business, and 30% coaching other agency owners through the 7 Figure Agency Program. His "on the business" work includes everything from restructuring the team, budgeting and forecasting, reviewing financials, meeting with the leadership team, hosting the Dirt Bags Podcast, posting content, business development, sending out custom merch boxes, hiring and raises, building culture, setting program fees and deliverables, recruiting, and even keynote speaking.

In today's hybrid and digital workplaces, the instinct for many busy managers is to rely on quick tech tools like AI or generic emails to communicate care. Henna Pryor argues this approach is actually backfiring. She challenges leaders to recognize that we are living in an "age of doubt" where skepticism is the default posture, urging them to close their "signal gaps" by aligning what they say with how they actually show up. Joe Mull sits down with Henna for a conversation about workplace trust and leadership skills. As a workplace performance expert, speaker, and author of Good Awkward and the upcoming book The Signal Gap, Henna brings a wide-ranging career background. From surviving the grueling hours of Big Four public accounting to spending fourteen years in executive search, she uses her front-row seat to team dynamics to help leaders build trust at work and become more believable and impactful. Henna breaks down the difference between cheap and costly signals, explaining why simply expressing gratitude is no longer enough to make employees feel valued. She shares stories from her own career (including her first job at a diner and the sting of being ignored as a high-achieving employee) to illustrate the importance of leadership communication. She also warns against "intent smuggling" and the dangers of public microclaims in the digital age. In this episode, you'll learn:

https://www.the-christ.net/Join David, Jason, Kirsten, and Marina for this powerful closing session recorded live at the culmination of the Renovatio retreat in Duchesne, Utah. In a gathering filled with joy, gratitude, and heartfelt testimonies, the panel returns to what A Course in Miracles calls one of its deepest and most challenging teachings: True Empathy.Moving beyond sympathy and the temptation to make suffering real, they explore what it means to take complete responsibility for sight—to see with the Holy Spirit, hold no exceptions to the miracle, and recognize that only the truth is true. Through stories, laughter, and profound sharings from retreat participants, this session reveals how every relationship can become a holy opportunity for healing, where we learn to see beyond personalities to the light of Christ in one another.Filled with moving expressions of gratitude, experiences of deep joining, and the joy of discovering that awakening cannot fail, this beautiful conclusion is a celebration of mighty companionship and a reminder that true empathy is not entering into suffering, but standing unwaveringly in love and innocence together.For further insights and unfolding session summaries, be sure to visit David Hoffmeister's Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/david.hoffmeister).

When my friend Mags Ohmes became part of a grace-based church community, her healing journey took a significant turn. Through support groups and authentic relationships, she encountered the safety, love, and acceptance she had long needed. For the first time, she was able to bring painful struggles into the light without fear of rejection. As she joined ministry teams and developed close friendships with trusted brothers and sisters in Christ, she experienced the kind of encouragement and affirmation that helped reshape how she viewed herself. Slowly, the shame she had carried for years began to lose its hold. In this episode, Mags shares how healthy community became one of God's tools for healing in her life. She also talks about the transforming power of gratitude and how learning to focus on God's goodness shifted her perspective from shame and hopelessness to grace and hope. Through the support of loving friends and a growing awareness of God's faithfulness, Mags learned that she was worthy of love and acceptance. Her story is a beautiful testimony to the healing that can happen when we allow God and His people to speak truth into our lives.   To inquire about counseling, email Louise at Louise@louisesedgwick.com.

Al, Jase, and Zach call out the entitlement mindset that turns gifts into demands, and Zach traces how a me-first mindset can make comfort and success feel empty. The guys connect that cultural trap to Solomon's downfall, showing what happens when wealth, power, women, and success capture our desires. Jase takes aim at Western civilization's obsession with actors and celebrity culture, asking why we celebrate people for pretending to be someone else while ignoring the same kind of hypocrisy when in real life.

In this episode of the Thinking Talmudist, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores one of the Torah's most profound teachings on charity, dignity, and human sensitivity through a fascinating discussion in Tractate Ketubot. The Talmud teaches that helping another person is not merely about providing money or resources; it is about understanding what that individual truly lacks. Whether supporting orphans, helping a bride and groom marry, or caring for someone who has fallen on hard times, the Torah demands that we preserve a person's dignity while addressing their needs. Charity is not measured by what the giver wants to give, but by what the recipient genuinely requires. A central theme of the episode is the remarkable sensitivity the Torah expects from us. The Talmud teaches that if a person was accustomed to a life of wealth and suddenly loses everything, the community should help restore as much of that dignity as possible. Rabbi Wolbe explains that poverty is not merely a financial condition—it is often accompanied by shame, embarrassment, and emotional pain. True kindness requires empathy, understanding, and the willingness to see the world through another person's eyes rather than our own. The discussion culminates with one of the most powerful lessons in all of Jewish ethics: protecting another person's dignity. Through the famous story of Mar Ukva and his wife hiding in a burning oven rather than allowing a poor recipient to discover their identity, the Talmud teaches that it is preferable to endure personal suffering than to publicly embarrass another person. Rabbi Wolbe emphasizes that preserving human dignity is among the Torah's highest values and applies to every aspect of life—from charity and relationships to disagreements and public discourse._____________The Thinking Talmudist Podcast shares select teachings of Talmud in a fresh, insightful and meaningful way.

Born on her father's 25th birthday, Lynette Kittle shares how every few years their shared birthday falls on Father's Day, a coincidence that makes the day feel especially tender and significant. As a child, her father seemed perfect. As an adult, she realized he wasn't, and discovered that it didn't matter nearly as much as she thought it would, because love, as 1 Peter 4:8 reminds us, covers a multitude of sins. In this warm and grace-filled episode for Father's Day, Lynette invites us to shift our gaze from the ways our fathers have disappointed us toward the reasons God has given us to be genuinely grateful for them. Fatherhood, Lynette reminds us, was God's idea from the beginning. He is the original Father of all creation, and He made man in His image to reflect His fatherly qualities and pass His strengths on to future generations. Our fathers don't have to be perfect for us to have hearts full of gratitude for the life God gave us through them, for the lessons they taught us even through their shortcomings, and for the honored place God has given them in the family and in our lives. Whether your father has been faithful and steadfast or has fallen short in significant ways, he is still a man created in the image of God, and that alone is reason enough to bring a prayer of thanksgiving before the Father who made him. Today's Bible Verse "Do not rebuke an older man harshly, but exhort him as if he were your father. Treat younger men as brothers."— 1 Timothy 5:1, NIV Ponder Today Fatherhood was God's idea. He is the original Father, and He created human fathers to reflect His qualities and pass His strengths to future generations. That divine design alone gives us reason for gratitude. Our fathers don't have to be perfect for us to be grateful. Love covers a multitude of sins on both sides of the relationship. Choosing gratitude over grievance is not denial — it is a grace-filled act of faith. Fathers are essential, not expendable. Despite cultural messages that diminish the role of fathers in the family, Scripture is clear: honoring our father and mother is the first commandment given with a promise of blessing (Ephesians 6:2-3). Even a father's shortcomings can teach us something valuable. God works through imperfect people to shape us — what to pursue, what to avoid, how to persevere. The lessons we learn from our fathers, even the hard ones, are not wasted. A Prayer for You Today Dear Father, today we want to express heartfelt gratitude to You for our fathers, for those who have been faithful to You in the honored positions You have given them. We thank You for their steadfastness, love, and endurance. We are grateful for the ways You have strengthened and guided their steps so that they might lead us in righteousness. And Father, we thank You too for the fathers who have fallen short, because even so, they are created in Your image and You gave us life through them. On Father's Day and all year long, we offer heartfelt gratitude to You for creating the fathers through whom You have given us life. In Jesus' name, Amen. Don't Miss an Episode If today's prayer stirred gratitude in your heart for the father God placed in your life, we'd love to stay connected.

Hello, Beautiful...I'm so grateful you're here with me. Some moments quietly remind us how beautiful life can be. This reflective meditation helps you slow down, practice gratitude, and become more present to the peace already here. Let yourself soften into appreciation, mindfulness, and the simple beauty of this moment. Love,

Over three years ago, I started this show as a casual basement passion project. Now, The Sunday Shakeout has grown to be one of the top high school running podcasts in the nation.Unbelievable.A podcast, however, is only as good as its support system. It's impossible to express, in words, how truly grateful I am for all of my friends, family, coaches, teammates, and every single guest and listener. This show would not exist if it weren't for all the support, and I don't take that for granted. "Passion" is an understatement. I have an undying devotion and obsession for this sport that continues to grow each day. I am so incredibly blessed to be able to share my love and joy on a weekly basis, and to reach thousands of people from all over the world. This podcast has gifted me so many wonderful connections, and through each conversation I share, I've increasingly come to know the grandeur and humanity of our sport. Every guest I sit down with is much more than just an athlete; they are all incredible individuals, each beautifully shaped by their unique experiences, perspectives, and attitudes. The exceptional stories that every person shares, at least for me, make covering running so meaningful and worthwhile. It's all about storytelling, and through each episode, my mission has always been to understand not only our sport, but, more importantly, our human nature and the world around us.Because ultimately, running has always been more than an athletic pursuit. Running has deeply shaped me in ways that transcend any performance or stat line. In fact, lately, I've found myself thinking that my journey has never fundamentally been about running itself. Rather, running has been a metaphor for something greater: learning how to meet challenges and the people around me, and, above all, learning how to live a meaningful life.While living that out has never been easy, I've learned to accept not having all the answers... while still continually searching for them. The whole point is the search. Very simply, this podcast has allowed me to grow closer to the version of myself I was born to become. Love y'all so much!!

Solomon teaches that while life is often unpredictable and unfair, we are not called to sit still in fear but to live wisely and faithfully. He encourages generous giving, consistent habits, calculated risks, and trusting God with outcomes we cannot control, knowing that faithful choices often bear fruit over time. He also warns against letting anger, bitterness, and vexation take root, comparing them to a poison that slowly shapes the heart. Instead, believers are called to cultivate joy, gratitude, spiritual disciplines, and a heavenly perspective, choosing daily to bless others, reject resentment, and walk in wisdom despite life's uncertainties.

Be grateful for the opportunity. Not just the wins, not just the profits, but the chance to even be in the game. The market teaches you that everybody doesn't get another setup, another cycle, another chance to learn from their mistakes. Life is the same way. Every day GOD wakes you up, He's giving you another opportunity to grow, serve, build, and become. Gratitude shifts your focus from what's missing to what's possible. Because when you stop complaining about where you are and start appreciating the opportunity in front of you, you position yourself to recognize the blessings that have been there all along.⚖

Your anger after a toxic relationship, narcissistic abuse, or a devastating divorce isn't a weakness — it can be your biggest catalyst for change.In this full podcast episode, I sit down with Stacie Shifflett — a 68-year-old author, entrepreneur, and founder of Modern Consciousness. After her 28-year marriage imploded, Stacie did everything "right" — new home, new routines, new social life. But inside, nothing felt like her. That's when she walked into a coach's office and said three words that changed everything: "I'm tired of being angry."What followed was one of the most powerful reinvention stories I've ever heard — from working with Les Brown and Tony Robbins, to acquiring a $50M software company with zero upfront capital, to becoming a bestselling author. Her story proves it's never too late to rebuild your life.
