Podcasts about Guarded

You introduce a new system. A new expectation. A new metric. And someone struggles. They're not aggressive. Not insubordinate. Not openly defiant. But they're hesitant. Slow. Guarded. Quietly pushing back. So the question becomes: Do we show empathy? Or do we hold accountability? In this episode, Dana and Sandy unpack the reality that most employees aren't resistant to change — they're protective of competence, routine, and confidence. But understanding human behavior does not mean lowering standards. Drawing on research from McKinsey & Company showing that nearly 70 percent of major change efforts fail due to employee behavior and leadership misalignment, they explore why great ideas fade out after implementation. They discuss: • Why consistency builds discipline • How unclear follow-through trains teams to ignore new systems • When coaching turns into enabling • The power of written protocols and documented conversations • Why accountability is clarity, not punishment Because in a growing practice, adaptability is not optional. The standard is the standard. Special thanks to our sponsors:

We all know - or think we know - Priscilla Presley. Ex-Wife of American Icon Elvis Presley. Mother to his only daughter, the late Lisa Marie Presley. Staunch Defender and Preserver of the Presley Legacy. That's what we all "think" we know. Priscilla has been in the news a LOT lately, and for all the wrong reasons. Take a deep dive with me about Priscilla and the many lawsuits she has been involved with over the years. Learn about the fractured relationships she has had with her family members, friends, ex boyfriends, and business associates - all of which have resulted in warring, conflicting narratives. Let's also address the apparent "pristine" facade she seems so intent on preserving for the last (almost) 50 years since Elvis' death in 1977. She is, above all else, a truly savvy yet complicated woman, but do ANY of us know who she truly is?

Author Diane Friedman introduces her book “Guarded, Women, Water & Saving Lives”

from Philippians 4:4-8 St. Augustine once asked, “What can be more excellent than prayer; what is more profitable to our life; what sweeter to our souls; what more sublime, in the course of our whole life, than the practice of prayer!” Prayer is a vital element to a life spent following Jesus; it is critical in … Continue reading "(February 8, 2026) “Prayer: A Guarded Heart”"

The South Carolina Supreme Court hears Alex Murdaugh's appeal February 11, 2026. The ground has shifted — because the woman who oversaw his jury just admitted to lying under oath about her conduct during the trial.Becky Hill, former Colleton County Clerk of Court, pleaded guilty in December 2025 to obstruction of justice, perjury, and two counts of misconduct. The perjury conviction stems from false testimony at a January 2024 hearing before retired Chief Justice Jean Toal. Toal was evaluating whether Hill tampered with Murdaugh's jury. She asked Hill directly if she let media view sealed exhibits. Hill said no. According to prosecutors, that was a lie.Murdaugh's defense successfully petitioned the Supreme Court to add Hill's conviction to the appellate record. The justices will now evaluate jury tampering claims knowing the court official at the center is a convicted perjurer.The state's response called Hill's conduct "foolish and fleeting" and insisted Murdaugh was "obviously guilty." That was filed before Hill's guilty plea. The state's position depends on trusting a woman who has proven she cannot be trusted.Defense attorneys Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin argue Hill's conduct is structural error — that jury tampering by a state actor is presumptively prejudicial under federal precedent. They also challenge the week of financial crimes testimony they say turned the murder trial into character assassination.The court can affirm, reverse for a new trial, or remand. The ruling comes later, in writing. But the person the state relied on to dismiss these concerns can no longer be believed.#MurdaughAppeal #BeckyHill #AlexMurdaugh #TrueCrime #JuryTampering #HiddenKillers #SupremeCourt #CriminalJustice #MurdaughTrial #SouthCarolinaJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. In our next look at the game mechanics for Civilization V we examine several related topics: Diplomacy, Spies, and Religious Pressure. They are all ways to interact with other players without the force of arms being involved. And we will discuss the Diplomatic Victory, which is a new victory type added in Civilization V and can be fun to play. Playing Civilization V, Part 8 - Diplomacy Other Players With other players you have a relationship based on their approach to you. They are: Neutral – This is not Friendly nor is it Hostile. Trades you make with them will be fair from their point of view Friendly – They like you, and will accept requests from you more often. Trades will be slightly in your favor from their point of view. Afraid – This only happens if you have a a very substantial advantage in strength, so this is rare. They will readily accept requests from you, and trades will be in your favor Guarded – They are suspicious and defensive, and will be more likely to be unfriendly. Trades will be harder to achieve, and favor them rather than you. Deceptive – They will pretend to be friendly, but they are plotting against you. They may bribe other players to declare war on you. They will not accept requests for help, and trades will be hard to achieve. Hostile – They hate you, and are completely open about it. Trade deals, if you can get them, will be heavily against you. War – This means they have decided to go to war with you. But they need the right conditions, so they may pretend to be Friendly, Neutral, Guarded, or Hostile while they wait for those conditions to mature. These are not set in stone, as you can modify how the other player feels towards you by your actions. If you have friends in common that will improve your relationship, or if you have enemies in common. Agreeing to their requests will also improve things. But if you cannot agree, just say so. The worst negative modifier is when you agree to do something, and then do the opposite. Saying no is also negative, but not as bad. Finally, remember that negatives will erode over time if they are not reinforced. If you want a very detailed look at the mechanics and details of this, check out https://civ-5-cbp.fandom.com/wiki/Detailed_Guide_to_Diplomacy. City-States City-States are also important diplomatic partners. We'll cover all of the benefits in a different section, but here I want to focus on how they enable the Diplomatic Victory. At a certain point the United Nations will be born out of the World Congress, and when this happens a Diplomatic Victory is possible. This will occur when any player reaches the Information Era, or whenever half of the players have reached the Atomic Era. Diplomatic Victory requires that you get the votes of a certain number of delegates to the United Nations. Each player gets delegates based on their population, and there are also some additional delegates you can earn, such as through building the World Wonder Forbidden Palace which gives you two additional delegates. Anyone planning for a Diplomatic Victory should consider building this Wonder as mandatory. But each City-State gets one delegate, and if you are allied with them their delegate is yours. The mechanics of City-State relationships is that they love gifts, and cash is always the best. So anyone planning a Diplomatic Victory would be well-advised to focus on building a large Treasury. You will know when a World Leader vote is coming up in the United Nations, and can make cash drops on any City-States that are not already allied with you before the vote. But watch out that another player doesn't do the same thing after you and snipe away some of your allies. Also, you can place your spies in City-States to rig elections, and that is another way to get them to ally with you. Spies and Espionage Spies are simply awarded to you whenever any player enters the Renaissance Era. After that you receive another spy each time to advance to another Era. So you can in general have as many as 5 Spies, but if you build the National Intelligence Agency you get one more. This is a National Wonder, and should be a mandatory build if you are going for a Diplomacy victory. And England starts with 1 extra Spy, so if you play as England you could get as many as 7 Spies. Spies can be used for offense or defense. If you station one of your spies in one of your cities it can operate as a counter-spy, and may thwart or even kill an enemy spy. If you are well ahead in technology, that might be a good use, since other players will be trying to steal your tech. But if you are behind, you might want to use your spies to steal tech from other players. You may be successful in this, but the theft does not go unnoticed, and other player may use one of his spies to counter your operation. If you spy is killed, you will get another one in 3-5 turns, but if your spy was a high-rank spy with promotions, that is a serious loss, so you may want to move that spy elsewhere for a while. Diplomats When you assign a spy to the capital of another player you can designate them as a Diplomat. They will take a few turns (depends on game speed, but around 6 turns on normal speeds) to get set up. This is called “Making Introductions”, but the point is that if you need an effective diplomat, don't wait until the last minute. Diplomats can be useful in several ways. Early on, they allow you to trade votes in the World Congress. And they will bring you intelligence about intrigues, and you can then share that with other players. And it can also give you a view of the other player's City Screen. Once you have researched Globalization your Diplomats can help with a Diplomatic Victory because each one counts as one additional vote in the United Nations for World Leader. You can change a spy into a Diplomat and vice versa just by moving the Spy/Diplomat from its current location to another location, which will trigger the ability to change the job assignment. This means that when you first get Spies, and they cannot yet be used to get additional Delegate votes as Diplomats, you can assign them to City-States, where they can help you get alliances. Then as you start to research Globalization, move them to the capitals of other players and turn them into Diplomats. This of course assumes you want to win a Diplomatic victory. If instead you are going for a Science victory and are ahead in Science, it is probably best to station them in your own cities to do counter-intelligence work. If you are ahead in Science, other players will be trying to steal tech from you. Religious Pressure If you have researched all of the Piety Social Policy Tree, you will have option to choose a Reformation Belief to add to your religion. One of these, Underground Sect, allows your spies to exert religious pressure against the city they have been sent to. However, this effect is fairly small. If there is not a Follower of your religion in the city, it seems to do nothing. But in combination it can flip cities to your religion. Start by sending in a Missionary to spread your religion, then your spy can add to that. And you should also combine that with a trade route to add additional religious pressure. And by gradually moving your spies, missionaries, and trade routes from city to city, you can make your religion dominant in a region. Diplomatic Victory This can be a fun way to win, and I have done it. If you want to get a leg up, start with a Civ that gives you advantages, such as Greece or Venice (although my last diplomatic Victory was achieved with Ethiopia, which is generally regarded as a military/domination Civ. You can win any victory type with any civ, and it can be fun to “play against type”). Greece gets an advantage from relations with City-States, which are key to a Diplomatic Victory because each one gets a vote for World Leader. And Venice is interesting because you cannot build settlers. But you can use cash to puppet City-States, and you can purchase units in puppeted City-States as well. Cash is king in the Venice strategy, and you will want to get as many Trade Routes as possible. The first two should send Food to Venice to help boost your population. Since you will only ever have one city as Venice you will want to max it out. All trade routes after that should focus on cash. Use your cash to purchase or upgrade military units, and employ a defensive strategy. You want enough military to deter any aggression against you, but you should avoid making any hostile moves against others if possible. Remember, this is a strategy for a Diplomatic Victory. If you want to go to war, don't choose Venice. Instead choose one of the Domination Civs, like the Zulus or the Mongols.

This powerful message brings us face-to-face with a profound truth: the peace God offers transcends anything this broken world can provide. We discover that while anxiety may be our reality, it doesn't have to be our identity. The sermon walks us through Philippians 4:4-7, reminding us that God's peace isn't circumstantial like worldly peace—it's internal and eternal. Where the world offers insurance policies, retirement plans, and security systems, Jesus offers something radically different: a peace that guards our hearts and minds even in the darkest valleys. The beautiful imagery of Psalm 23 becomes our anchor, showing us that when the Lord is our shepherd, we truly lack nothing. We're challenged to implement a 'focus filter'—asking whether what we consume is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy. This isn't about perfection; it's about preparation. Like the farmhand who could sleep through the storm because he'd done faithful work when skies were clear, we too can experience rest in the midst of chaos when we've built our lives on the foundation of Christ. Pastor Matt offers hope that through Jesus we can get up, stop to breathe and pray, build lives of praise, and apply a Jesus filter to our focus, we can experience the supernatural peace that passes all understanding.

What shapes the way you live—what you hope for, what you endure, and what you value most?In this episode, Marcel Hall reflects on a once-in-a-lifetime moment from The Price Is Right and uses it to explore a much deeper question: What is the prize that truly lasts? Drawing from 1 Peter 1:3–9, the message centers on the prize of eternal life—a gift rooted in mercy, protected by God, and powerful enough to shape everyday life.For those inside the church, this episode is a reminder to slow down and cherish what has already been given—with renewed gratitude, deeper commitment, and a willingness to share hope with others.For those outside the church, it's an open invitation to consider whether there is more to life than what can be earned, achieved, or lost—and whether faith might offer a hope that doesn't fade when circumstances change.This message invites all listeners to reflect on what they're living for—and whether they've discovered a prize worth building life around.Scripture: 1 Peter 1:3–900:00 – A new year, a new perspective (2026 slogan)02:00 – Looking back: a moment from The Price Is Right06:10 – Sermon title introduced: A Prize Worth Living For07:20 – Setting the context: pressure, suffering, and hope08:50 – The main idea: The Prize of Eternal Life09:10 – Scripture reading: 1 Peter 1:3–910:45 – Mercy, new birth, and a living hope13:35 – An inheritance that can't fade or be taken away16:05 – Guarded by God's power: security for the present and future17:20 – Why faith is worth more than gold18:05 – Inexpressible joy—even in hard seasons20:20 – What the prize of eternal life includes21:10 – A turning question: “What do you do with a prize like this?”22:10 – The Clippers ball story: when something valuable isn't cherished24:05 – Response: Cherish the Prize24:30 – Cherish the prize with gratitude26:50 – Cherish the prize through commitment28:15 – Cherish the prize by sharing it30:05 – Action steps for the week32:20 – Closing encouragement and Scripture (1 Peter 1:3–4)Click here to donate to the programClick here for more sermonsOC Church of Christ

In this episode of Tales from Cranewitch Hollow, we travel to Ireland to uncover a forgotten truth about werewolves—not as monsters, but as guardians.Long before Hollywood gave us silver bullets and blood-soaked full moons, Irish folklore told stories of the faoladh: cursed shape-shifters bound by cycles, community, and duty. These werewolves protected children, guided travelers, and even fought as sacred warriors for ancient kings. One haunting 12th-century account tells of a priest, a dying she-wolf, and a moment of faith that reveals the soul beneath the skin.This is not a tale of horror.It's a story about compassion, conscience, and the thin places where humanity and myth meet.If you love folklore, myth, dark history, and legends that challenge what we think we know—this hollow is for you.

The Scripture readings are Deuteronomy 18:15-19; Philippians 4:4-7; and John 1:19-29. God's peace guards you like a watchtower over your soul until the glorious day of Christ's return when anxiety is banished forever. Then, you will feast in eternal peace in His presence.

Welcome back to Blended!   Today, we're going full circle with the show. We're going back to our roots – because we're talking about DEI.   When Sarah founded Blended back in 2020, we were in the trenches of the pandemic. Everything was changing – within businesses, people's personal lives, within society as a whole. And it felt more important than ever to talk about people. To share stories and get to know each other better, to learn and to really think about what we wanted things to look like for ourselves when the pandemic was over. And the root of all of that was diversity, equity, inclusion, equality – community.    Now, five years later, a lot has changed. And so has how many of us think about diversity and inclusion. Political changes have seen many organizations publicly pull back from visible DEI efforts and, internally, scale back or completely retire diversity goals altogether. And that's a problem. For many people, it's a step – or more than a step – backwards.     So, as we look to 2026, what is DEI going to look like? And what's that impact of that on people, businesses and culture in general? Our guests will be diving into all of that today.     IN THIS EPISODE:   [01.23] Introductions to our Blended panelists.   ·       Sue – Founder and CEO of Origen Air ·       Sheri – Sourcing, procurement and supply chain leader      "DEI is so important to me. Throughout my journey as an entrepreneur, it's become even more apparent. It seemed like we were getting to the point of equality, but as I started my own company and went through not only fundraising but also procurement, it became very clear that we still have a long way to go." Sue     [06.09] The group discuss what the current DEI landscape looks like, some of the biggest changes they've seen this year, and what we might expect from DEI in 2026. ·       Guarded, 'behind closed doors' ·       Competing narratives ·       Strategic ·       'Permission to backtrack'   ·       News ways to make progress ·       Reframing of DEI programs ·       Being less externally vocal ·       DEI folded into wider social governance programs ·       Integration of data analytics and technology ·       DEI specialists stepping back/reframing their value proposition   ·       Firing of DEI employees ·       Squeezed DEI budgets ·       Negative links to other issues, eg. Sustainability, woman-owned    ·       Words we use – diversity vs inclusion ·       Organizations re-thinking core values  ·       Rebuilding DEI ·       DEI built in, rather than separate ·       Advocacy ·       Swinging pendulum of support for DEI ·       Transformation   "It used to be something that lit a lot of people up, it was colorful. Now when I think about what the landscape looks like, it's muted and gray." Sheri "I don't think it's fading out, it's just transforming. It's going to look different. It's going to be more of a quiet, strategic commitment." Sheri   [29.18] The panel dive deeper into allyship, why it's important, and how we communicate what we want and need from allies.   ·       Mixed messages ·       Men and women are not opponents ·       Representation ·       Working together/collaboration   ·       What men can do practically in the workplace ·       Creating safe spaces    [39.45] The group discuss the public dialogue around DEI in light of current political influence, and how that's impacting people, organizations and their commitment to DEI.  ·       Common misconceptions ·       Access to opportunity ·       Privilege ·       Role of leadership ·       Responsibility ·       Fear ·       Making excuses ·       Scarcity ·       Fairness ·       Ego ·       Women vs women ·       Doing things quietly vs loudly ·       Metrics/measurement/KPIs – what does success look like? ·       Education   ·       Redefining what diversity and inclusion actually means     "The misconception that I've been hearing is that we're asking to 'take,' people are worried that things are going to be taken from them. But that's not what DEI is about." Sue "We're not asking for special treatment – we're just asking to be seen and heard. We don't want you to hire us if we're not the right person. We don't want you to buy from us if we don't have the best product… We just want the opportunity to be a consideration." Sue    "If the checklists and the targets go away, you're not boasting about it publicly, and it's all done quietly, how are we going to know if we're making progress?" Sheri   [01.06.25] The panel sum up their thoughts from today's discussion and share their advice for approaching DEI issues in 2026.      RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED: You can connect with Sue or Sheri over on LinkedIn.   Episode 20 - DEI in the Workplace - Not Just The Smart Thing To Do, But the Right Thing to Do

Proverbs 17:3–4 unveils two powerful spiritual realities: God refines His people like silver and gold, and the voices we listen to shape our character and destiny. Just as precious metals require intense heat to reveal purity, believers undergo trials designed by the Master Refiner to expose and remove spiritual impurities. And while God purifies the heart, Solomon warns that the wicked are drawn to lies because deception resonates with their inner desires. Today, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart explore the crucible and the furnace—how God uses different kinds of trials for different callings—and why guarding your ears from destructive voices is essential for spiritual maturity. This lesson calls believers to embrace God's refining work and tune their hearts to truth.

This message explores how thanksgiving becomes spiritual armor, grounding your mind, heart, and perspective. Pastor Phil highlights how gratitude displaces criticism, fear, and comparison, and how choosing thankfulness reframes every season.

Titus 3:9-15

In this episode of the Speak On That podcast, Vessel explores the concept of principles, emphasizing their importance in guiding behavior and decision-making. He contrasts being guarded with being measured, highlighting how personal experiences shape one's Principles. Through personal anecdotes and examples, he discusses the impact of betrayal on trust and the significance of fairness in interactions. The conversation also delves into the role of communication in maintaining principles and the necessity of setting boundaries in relationships.

Exploring God's sufficiency.The discussion centered on the importance of hope and discernment in light of false teaching. The message emphasized that God's love and grace are fully sufficient for believers, removing the need to strive for perfection and instead inviting rest in His love. The group reflected on the simplicity and completeness of faith in Christ and how resting in His grace brings peace and assurance.Themes: The sufficiency of God's grace and love Dangers of false teaching and striving for perfection Rest and assurance found in faith alone Reflection Question: How can I rest more deeply in God's grace and share His hope with others around me?

Recognizing deception, submitting to truth, and walking together in faith.The discussion centered around false teaching, legalism, and the nature of the flesh, with emphasis on the need for discernment and submission to God's truth. The conversation explored how legalism originates from false teaching and how the enemy uses deception to attack the character of God revealed through Christ.The group reflected on how each of the Gospels presents a different facet of Christ—His humanity, servitude, genealogy, and divinity—and how understanding these aspects strengthens faith and guards against error. They discussed that while the enemy cannot stop God's redemptive plan, false teaching can distort how believers experience grace.We emphasized the importance of humility, submission, and maintaining unity within the body, explaining that proper teaching protects believers from the influence of the flesh. The group also discussed the balance between resting in God's will and remaining actively submitted to His leading through the Holy Spirit.The meeting concluded with reflections on community, the importance of prayer for one another, and future direction—including prayer for God's guidance about a permanent meeting place and potential radio outreach to extend their ministry.Themes: Discerning false teaching and legalism Submitting the will to God for true rest Unity and humility within the assembly Dependence on the Holy Spirit for understanding The divine purpose of community and prayerScripture References: 2 Corinthians 4:4Reflection Question: Where might I still be striving in my own strength instead of resting in the finished work of Christ?

Message from Samuel Johnson on October 19, 2025

Introduction A. Preliminaries Good Morning. We will continue our series in the Book of Nehemiah this morning. We will finish the sixth chapter of Nehemiah today. The text for the sermon this morning will begin at verse 15, and go to verse 4 of Chapter 7. You can find it on Page 473 of the Bibles in your…

We need to learn how to play both offense and defense in this spiritual battle that we face.In this message, Pastor Tasia gives us way that we can begin to protect what's open and guard what you are filling yourself with throughout the week. 

Join Dennis Peacocke as he unpacks one his more well known sayings- that is “Power is guarded by problems.” The world's approach often seeks to avoid problems, asking, “How do we get out of this?” In contrast, God encourages us to embrace challenges as opportunities for growth, asking, “How can we benefit from this?” The ability to effectively problem-solve presents a unique opportunity for Christians to stand out in our attitude, approach, and success in overcoming challenges. Destiny is realized when we embrace problems as opportunities!Additional resources from GoStrategic on problem solving:Katherine Gallagher on Jurisdictional Problem Solving https://www.buzzsprout.com/2014804/episodes/17327676 An Overview of Problem Solving for Businesspeople by Dennis PeacockeCore Message Highlight: Problem Solving - GoStrategicFor more information on the ministry of GoStrategic, please visit https://www.gostrategic.org

In today's Morning Manna, we walk through Proverbs 13:6–10, where Solomon contrasts the preserving power of righteousness with the ruin of sin. We see how true wealth is not measured in possessions but in spiritual riches, how riches can bring both ransom and risk, and how the light of the righteous shines while the lamp of the wicked is snuffed out. Finally, Solomon reminds us that pride breeds contention, but humility seeks counsel and finds wisdom. These verses call us to live guarded by righteousness, content with God's provision, and humble enough to receive guidance.   Teachers: Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart You can partner with us by visiting FaithandValues.com, calling 1-800-576-2116, or by mail at PO Box 399 Vero Beach, FL 32961.

Why sometimes even healing might not stick quite the way we want.

BT and Sal dive headfirst into the new football season with palpable excitement for the Jets and Giants. While BT is bullish on both teams, citing new regimes and a more "buttoned-up" approach, Sal throws a bucket of cold water on the hype. He urges fans to temper their expectations, questioning where the projected wins will come from and reminding everyone that it's easy to get excited in September, but the reality of winning requires more than just fresh starts and good intentions.

Lee Busch died in 2002. Elsie Busch died in 2003. This means that when Chris Busch's name was made public in 2006, his parents were already deceased.  I am remastering the long-form series 'Don't Talk to Strangers' about the Oakland County Child Killer for re-release in late 2025.

Why Amy Murray Poisoned Her Husband With Antifreeze to Marry a Prisoner SHE Guarded Amy Murray was supposed to help people heal. Instead, she brewed up a deadly cocktail of antifreeze, lies, and fire. In today's gripping breakdown, we dive into the unbelievable case of a Missouri prison nurse who poisoned her husband, set their home on fire, and plotted a future with a convicted murderer—all while claiming innocence. Joshua Murray was found dead in his bedroom in 2018—but not from the fire that engulfed the house. A toxicology report revealed antifreeze in his system, and investigators say it was his wife, Amy, who put it there. Why? Because she was secretly in love with Eugene Claypool, a convicted killer serving a life sentence. And yes—she was having a full-blown affair with him while working at the prison. Prison calls revealed the twisted truth: Amy telling Claypool that her husband was “out of the picture.” That picture? A burning house. The motive? Marriage. But when detectives poked holes in her McDonald's alibi and found untouched food at the crime scene, everything unraveled. Amy Murray took an Alford plea, dodging a life sentence in exchange for a 12-year bid for second-degree murder. But here's the kicker—she's also facing sexual abuse charges for her prison relationship with Claypool. That case is still pending, and we'll be watching. How did a healthcare professional end up a murder convict? What drove her to risk everything for a killer? And is justice truly served with a 12-year sentence?
