"If we do not initiate our sons, they will burn down the village just to feel the heat." That African proverb is where this one starts, and Chris Bruno, counsellor, author of The Man Maker Project, and a dad who built a year-long rite of passage for his own son, spends the next twenty minutes showing what it demands of a father. This is a Deep Cut from a 2024 members-only session: what a rite of passage actually is (they are happening around your son constantly, whether you design one or not), why the passage from boy to man does not happen by accident, what ancient cultures knew that we dropped, and the difference between raising boys and raising girls: dad leads the charge for the boy, and stands under the charge for the girl.   IN THIS EPISODE: The proverb: uninitiated boys burn down the village to feel the heat Rites of passage are already happening around your son, unsupervised The Man Maker Project: the year-long process Bruno built for his own son Why a boy must be called out, tested, and welcomed back by men Boys need your heat, girls need your warmth: the difference in dad's role  "I cannot lead my daughter into womanhood, but I can support it"   WANT MORE? This session was a members-only deep dive into the brotherhood, the kind of conversation that doesn't happen at a backyard barbecue.

On this week's rerun episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Eyedress. Born in Manila, Eyedress came to the US at five years old, moving through Arizona and California — discovering punk and skate culture along the way — before his family returned to the Philippines when he was 15. After years of self-releasing lo-fi bedroom recordings and slowly building an online following, he broke through with 2020's Let's Skip to the Wedding, which spawned global hits "Jealous" and "Romantic Lover" and eventually led to a deal with RCA. Since then, he's collaborated with artists like Mac DeMarco, King Krule, and Harmony Korine, carving out a sound that's equal parts woozy, nostalgic, and entirely his own. Eyedress and Joel dig into his journey from a rough childhood to building a life and family on his own terms, the anxiety that still follows him even after years of success, and why he believes the biggest leap of faith he ever took was also the best decision he ever made.

What can kids teach us about how to live? This is a topic close to the heart of today's guest, Julian Shapiro-Barnum. An actor and comedian, Julian is perhaps most known for his web series Recess Therapy, in which he interviews children playing outside in New York City. He joins us this week to talk about his new book, How to Grow Up without Becoming a Grown-up. He shares what he has learned from his young interviewees: how to notice the beauty all around you, how to believe you can make a difference in the world, when it's ok to break the rules, and how to fully tap into your imagination. He advocates for the benefits of living a more childish life, one that embraces joy, freedom, spontaneity, and adventure. Find his book here.

Guest Speaker: Pastor Kelly Goins (Lead Pastor of Watts Bar Church, Decatur, TN) I. Worship & Opening Focus Access to the Throne: Reflecting on her recent visit to the White House and navigating Secret Service checkpoints, Pastor Rhonda reminded the congregation that entering God's presence requires no security clearance or documentation—only a hungry heart coming before the King of Kings. Altar Ministry Focus: Prayer teams ministered to individuals seeking physical healing, relief from crippling anxiety, and divine direction, declaring the authority of Jesus over every diagnosis and fear. II. Harvest Announcements & Outreach Queen for a Day (August 29): Registration capped at 300 participants after filling within four days. Sponsorship drive for outreach purses continues in the lobby, coordinated alongside Susan Vernon. Midweek Wednesday Series: We Are Harvest Beyond the Walls continues at 7:00 PM featuring Pastor Tyrone Johnson presenting on DEAC Ministries and its outreach to Cleveland's homeless community. Men's Topgolf Event: Scheduled for Tuesday, August 18, in Chattanooga. Men interested in attending were directed to connect with Pastor Todd. Sermon Outline: "It's Time to Grow Up" Preacher: Pastor Kelly Goins I. The Post-Salvation Discipleship Gap Beyond the Altar: Praying a prayer to receive salvation is not the pinnacle of the Christian walk—it is the starting line. A Christianity that promises heaven while permitting believers to live unchanged on Earth is foreign to the New Testament. Identity and Activity: Quoting evangelist Shane Pruitt, true gospel transformation changes both identity (who you are in Christ) and activity (what you do daily). II. Clarifying Maturity Rules Don't Mistake Stupidity for Immaturity: Behaviors understandable in a toddler (e.g., eating dirt) become reckless or illegal when carried out by an adult. Certain spiritual behaviors permissible for a brand-new convert become unacceptable for long-term believers. Don't Mistake Age for Spiritual Maturity: Physical age or years spent attending church services do not equate to spiritual depth. New believers pursuing Christ passionately often demonstrate greater spiritual maturity than lifelong churchgoers. Posture vs. Promise: Unanswered prayers are frequently not a promise problem from God, but a posture problem from believers who refuse to step into adult responsibility. III. Heirs vs. Slaves (Galatians 4:1-7) The Delayed Inheritance: An immature child legally owns their father's entire estate, yet functionally lives no differently than a servant until reaching the age set by the father. God's Patience vs. God's Blessing: God will give what He promised because you are His child, but He cannot entrust it to you as long as you insist on remaining a child. Many believers mistake living under God's long-suffering patience for living under His active blessing. Principles vs. Presence: Living merely by moral principles differs from learning to live daily in God's intimate presence and hearing His voice. IV. Adulting 101 in the Faith Own Your Choices: Mature believers stop blaming government systems, past relationships, or upbringing, taking direct responsibility for their actions. Own Your Relationships: Adults guard their circle of influence, recognizing that close companions shape their spiritual future. Own Your Spiritual Growth (Hebrews 5:12-14): Mature Christians stop relying on pastors or podcasts to hand-feed them like infants on milk. They open the Word for themselves, consume solid food, and train their discernment to distinguish good from evil. Scripture Index Galatians 4:1-7 > "Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all... God sent forth his Son... to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons." 1 Corinthians 13:11 > "When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things."   Hebrews 5:12-14 > "For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat."   Galatians 3:28 (Referenced) – There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Numbers 6:24-26 (Benediction) > "The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace."

Spiritual maturity is a communal endeavour rooted in the body of Christ, where hearts are braced and united through interwoven relationships. By discovering the sufficiency of Jesus together and standing shoulder to shoulder, believers form a resilient front that remains steadfast against deception.

Our Refusal to Grow Up Getting sober does not automatically make us emotionally mature. We can stop drinking and still demand that people behave the way we want, depend on approval to feel okay, blame others for our unhappiness, avoid responsibility, and expect circumstances to provide the security we cannot find within ourselves. Today we'll talk about emotional sobriety, our refusal to grow up, and what happens when we begin accepting responsibility for our attitudes, reactions, expectations, and relationships. Recovery asks us to become more than abstinent. It asks us to grow. #TheDailyTrudge #OurRefusalToGrowUp #EmotionalSobriety #BillW #AlcoholicsAnonymous #AARecovery #EmotionalMaturity #PersonalResponsibility #Recovery #Sobriety

'F**** GROW UP. WHO CARES?' - JOHHNY FISHER NOT HOLDING BACK! / DANA WHITE MEETING, AJ--FURY, HEARN

Marcos Estrada went from surviving Chicago gang violence to becoming a United States Marine Master Sergeant—and fighting in Operation Phantom Fury.Born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, Marcos grew up surrounded by poverty, domestic violence, drugs, gangs, and crime. His father battled heroin addiction and spent much of Marcos' childhood in prison. By 15, Marcos had already been shot at, stabbed, arrested for serious felonies, and pulled deeper into the gang lifestyle.Then the Marine Corps gave him another path.In today's Urban Valor interview, Marcos shares how he escaped Chicago gang life, joined the U.S. Marines, became an infantryman, and completed a 20-year military career that included multiple combat deployments.But whew… getting there was anything but simple.Marcos talks about watching his mother rebuild her life after suffering devastating injuries, the neighborhood Marine who unknowingly inspired his future, entering the Marine Corps with multiple waivers, and the drill instructors who saw potential in a broken kid before he could see it himself.He also recounts intense combat during Operation Phantom Fury in Fallujah—including RPG fire, ambushes, land mines, wounded Marines, and the moment he saw fellow Marine Stacey Green lying motionless after an explosion.This isn't just a Marine Corps combat story.It's a story about trauma.Brotherhood.Accountability.And what can happen when someone is finally given structure, responsibility, and a reason to believe they can become more than their environment.Marcos didn't erase his past when he became a Marine…He transformed it into grit, leadership, and purpose.Watch the full interview to hear how a kid from Chicago's South Side survived the streets, earned the title Marine, rose to Master Sergeant, and faced some of the most dangerous fighting of the Iraq War.Subscribe to Urban Valor for more uncensored military stories, veteran interviews, Marine Corps combat experiences, and firsthand accounts from the men and women who served.

Yesterday, anele had the shock of her life when a porcupine turned up at her house.The unexpected visitor sparked a huge conversation on the show, with listeners sharing what they believe it means when certain animals appear at your home. That got us thinking... South Africa is full of fascinating beliefs and superstitions about animals. Depending on your culture or family, an owl, a snake, a praying mantis, a black cat or even a porcupine can be seen as a message from the ancestors, a warning, or a sign of good or bad luck. So today we want to know... what animal beliefs did you grow up with? What does your culture or family believe certain animals bring, and where do those beliefs come from? Hang out with Anele and The Club on 947 every weekday morning.

This episode starts with heatwaves and trashy beaches in Southern California and somehow ends with a full‑on intervention for modern men. We clown on hiking with bears, talk real jiu jitsu life, and then dive deep into one of the biggest issues we see: husbands who refuse to grow up and hand all the responsibility to their wives.We break down what happens when men act like permanent teenagers—letting their partner run every dollar, asking for “allowance” from their own paycheck, and wondering why there's zero respect in the relationship. We talk shared accounts, leadership, paying bills, and why both people in a marriage need to be adults with their money.Along the way there are stories from the UPS days, wild doctor visits, building a 4 a.m. BJJ class at Checkmat Menifee, and a heartfelt tribute to the uncle who paid for that first year of jiu jitsu and sparked everything. It's raw, funny, uncomfortable, and exactly the kind of conversation that usually only happens after training on the mats.Topics: Brazilian jiu jitsu, modern masculinity, marriage and money, shared bank accounts, men's self‑improvement, gym culture, community, mentorship.If you tell me which of the five titles you're leaning toward, I can tweak the first 2–3 lines of the YouTube description to match that hook perfectly.Please Follow BJJ Balance on all of our socials:IG: @BJJBalanceDiscord: discord.gg/bjjbalanceTik Tok: @BJJBalanceYouTube: YouTube.com/@BJJBalanceKenny IG: @KennyDoesBJJMatt IG: @oss_nation_bjj

This month on Unfiltered Coffee, I share more about the machinery behind both the podcast and the investing practice — the 200-some episodes, the 2 decades of client relationships, the daily habits, and the things that simply take time and can't be rebuilt in a day, even if you wanted to. I share the idea of decision and choice fatigue: how templating the small stuff (the shoes, the shirt, the quarterly letter format) frees up mental capacity for the decisions that actually matter, and how consistency is the quiet, unglamorous compounding force behind almost everything worth building. I also talk about cultivating an ownership mindset with clients — wanting them to see their portfolio not as a list of tickers, but as part ownership in a handful of businesses worth understanding and holding.I also revisit a few books with fresh eyes: Scott Stillman's I Don't Want to Grow Up on the nonlinear relationship between money and lifestyle, David Schwartz's Thinking Big on belief as the foundation of getting help from the world, and John Kay's Obliquity on why profit, happiness, and most worthwhile goals are only ever reached indirectly. A paper from Steve Shaw and Gideon Nave on AI and "cognitive surrender" gets me thinking about the difference between reciting knowledge and actually understanding it — a distinction I trace back to a classmate from high school who could quote a textbook verbatim but didn't understand it. On the market side, I push back gently on the all-time-high headlines — you'll see why.I close with a personal story about an early client, and a round-up of recent conversations worth revisiting: Paul Johnson on Roger Murray and fundamental investing, Marion Fogli on the triple taboo of money, Robert Miles on 25 years of Berkshire CEO character studies, and a rebroadcast recommendation of the Jay Hughes episode on courage over knowledge. I end on an open question I'm still sitting with: can a gift ever really be unconditional?

One day, our children will look back on their childhood through adult eyes. In this episode, we explore how the choices we make as parents shape the childhood our children will remember. It's not about perfect parenting; it's about creating a life where children feel safe, secure, valued, and certain of where they belong.Thank you for listening, I will talk to you soon.

What if one of the greatest gifts we can give our children is the opportunity to struggle? Bestselling author Jessica Lahey joins Ginny for a powerful conversation about two of the biggest challenges facing families today: raising capable, independent kids and protecting them from a culture of addiction. Drawing from her books The Gift of Failure and The Addiction Inoculation, Jessica explains why our instinct to protect children from discomfort can unintentionally rob them of confidence, resilience, and the ability to solve problems on their own. They discuss why kids need real responsibility, how unstructured play and outdoor adventures build self-efficacy, and why allowing children to experience manageable failure is one of the most loving things a parent can do. Jessica also shares evidence-based research on substance use prevention, including why delaying alcohol and drug use matters, how clear family expectations reduce risk, and why connection—not control—is one of the strongest protective factors we can offer our children. From helicopter parenting and grade portals to dopamine, executive function, anxiety, and the importance of letting kids figure things out for themselves, this conversation is full of practical wisdom and encouragement for every parent navigating the teenage years—and the years leading up to them. If you've ever wondered whether you're helping too much, or how to raise children who are prepared for real life, this episode will challenge and inspire you.

We're on Patreon! Find us at https://www.patreon.com/AudioUnleashed This week, Dennis and Brent kick things off with a response to a Patron who had some defensive words for OJAS, aka Devon Turnbull. Then they add their voices to the biggest discussion in audio right now: the Axiss Audio lawsuit against The Greek Audio Geek, Suncoast Audio, and Clarisys Audio for defamation and conspiracy. And they tackle the confounding question of whether or not the judgment of some dude sitting around in his underwear will pass muster in a court of law. With that out of the way, they invite Pro Audio Technology and Theory Audio Design owner and CEO Paul Hales to rant about the cult of high-end audio and explain how he engineered his escape. They conclude by turning their attention to all the ways in which the A.I. bubble is about to make everything more expensive—except, of course, for Class-AB amps. And (maybe!) cable lifters.  

What happens when the kids leave home and you're suddenly wondering...

Send us Fan MailYou can ruin a garden by being too confident, and you can damage a church the same way. The Rev. Michael White joins us for our Summer Shorts series with a story that starts small, weeding a tidy plot, and lands right in the middle of Matthew 13: sometimes what we label a weed is actually the vine that is meant to grow. That simple mistake opens a bigger conversation about Christian community, belonging, and the temptation to do God's sorting for God.In this episode, Melissa has a conversation with Michael about why churches struggle with inclusion even when the sign says “all are welcome.” Michael names an uncomfortable truth: a lot of us don't like feeling awkward, so we drift toward people who look familiar, think like us, and fit our preferred style. But The Episcopal Church at its best is a community where whoever shows up gets to be part of the pilgrimage, and that wide embrace can shape us into richer, more grounded people with a deeper “tapestry” of relationships. Listen in for the full conversation. The Rev. Michael White currently serves as interim rector of St. Luke's Atlanta. Prior to serving at St. Luke's, Michael served as the 41st rector of Christ Church, Savannah. Founded in 1733, Christ Church is the oldest house of worship in the state of Georgia. Michael graduated from Virginia Theological Seminary in May of 1995 and was ordained that same month. He has a certificate in Non-profit Management from Duke University. He completed the two-year Clergy Leadership Project sponsored by Trinity Wall Street and spent one year as a religious outreach advisor in the U.S. Senate. Michael has also completed a multi-year training offered by the Interim Ministry Network. Michael is married to The Rev. Helen Slingluff White. They have two sons, Ethan and Jay. Ethan is beginning his third year of study at Virginia Theological Seminary after serving as a youth minister at St. Stephen's, Richmond and graduating from The University of the South: Sewanee. Jay is a recent graduate of Princeton University and now lives in Chicago pursuing an acting career.Support the showFollow us on IG and FB at Bishop Rob Wright. 

Few things are more cringe-worthy than seeing an adult throw a self-righteous temper-tantrum in a very public place. As we grow up, we're supposed to mature: learning how to ebb some of our selfish desires and accept the responsibility of prioritizing the wants and needs of other people. But some people seem to have a harder time doing that than others - How do we make sure we're not one of them? Join us this Sunday, July 12, as we consider the author of Hebrews's challenge to stop waiting to be bottle-fed your faith and mature in our understanding of Scripture.

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on June 7, 2026) As we began to see yesterday, in the closing verses of Romans 14 Paul summarizes his message to the weaker brother: he tells him to “grow up!” As simple as that message is, the reality we find is that it is easier NOT to grow...

When we begin following Jesus, we're much like newborn babies—but just as babies grow and mature, so should we in our walk with Christ. In this week's message from Philippians 3, Pastor Curtis reveals four marks of maturity in Christ, and—spoiler alert—it begins with being honest enough to admit that we haven't arrived. It's only when we're willing to do this that we can direct our focus toward the one thing we must pursue: knowing and following Jesus with everything we have.

In today's episode, I'm sharing one of the most personal conversations I've ever had on the podcast.For most of my life, I never considered myself religious. I didn't grow up going to church, and I always associated the word "God" with something that wasn't meant for me. Instead, I spoke about the Universe, Source, manifestation, and spiritual laws.But this year, everything changed.After one of the hardest seasons of my life, I found myself praying for the first time. Not because I knew how, but because I had nowhere else to turn. What followed completely transformed my relationship with faith, surrender, and the way I experience life.This episode is an honest conversation about reconnecting to something greater than ourselves, letting go of fear, trusting divine timing, and discovering that the connection we've been searching for has always been within us.Whether you call it God, Source, the Universe, or Higher Power, my hope is that this conversation helps you reconnect to your own inner knowing.In This Episode We Cover:• Why I resisted the word "God" for most of my life• Growing up outside of religion and how that shaped my beliefs• How losing my dad opened the door to spirituality• Why manifestation first introduced me to a higher power• The unexpected role prayer has played in my healing journey• My rock-bottom moment that changed everything• What Costa Rica taught me about slowing down, surrender, and reconnecting• Why the ocean feels like my deepest connection to God• Releasing the fear of being judged for talking about faith• Why I believe God, Source, and the Universe are all pointing toward the same truth• How reconnecting with God transformed my business, health, and personal life• Learning to trust that everything is happening for us, even when it doesn't feel like it• The spiritual foundation behind my upcoming brand and why this journey has changed everythingKey Takeaways• Faith isn't about religion. It's about relationship.• You don't have to use the same language as everyone else to experience the divine.• Prayer doesn't have to be perfect. It simply has to be honest.• We spend so much of life searching outside ourselves for wholeness, when we've always been whole.• Every challenge is an invitation to grow into a higher version of yourself.• Trust creates peace long before circumstances change.• The more connected we are to God, Source, or our Higher Power, the more aligned life begins to feel.Resources & Links✨ Join my FREE live training: Clear Your Limiting Beliefs: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.marleyrose.ca/clear⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠✨ Get Your Free Trial to The Higher Self App: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/higherself.app/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠✨ Join House Of Freedom ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.marleyrose.ca/houseoffreedom⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠✨ Explore my programs and coaching opportunities: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠linktr.ee/marleyroseharris⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect With MarleyInstagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/marleyroseharris/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.marleyrose.ca/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠hello@marleyrose.ca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@marleyroseharris⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Love The Podcast?If this episode resonated with you, I would be so grateful if you left a review.Send a screenshot of your review & email it to hello@marleyrose.ca and we'll send you a special gift as a thank you for supporting the show.Thank you for being here, angel.

How much of your team's struggle is really about the work and how much is about everything else? In this episode, Kevin talks with Dr. Liane Davey about why the real challenge many teams face isn't simply workload, but "thought load". Liane defines this as the rising cognitive demands, emotional burdens, and depleted energy reserves that make work feel heavier than it may appear. She explains how multitasking, constant urgency, oversized meetings, unclear priorities, and poor energy habits quietly drain performance and create more rework, stress, and burnout. She also shares practical ways leaders can help, including replacing urgency with true priority, creating space for focused work, taking real breaks, managing emotions rather than ignoring them, and modeling healthier boundaries.

1 Corinthians 13 is a very famous passage, but in the context of the entire book of 1 Corinthians, we see that it is a sober warning against straying from the Gospel. If a person is gifted, as many of the Corinthians were, then it is frighteningly easy for that person to mistake their spiritual gifts for spiritual fruit. When we serve others in the church, are we serving Jesus or are we serving ourselves? To understand this passage fully, you have to understand 1) The story behind it; 2) The bombshell Paul is dropping on the Corinthians; and 3) How it applies to people today.
