Podcasts about happily

The promised land of intimacy is not a quiet house. It is a payout. You walk in looking for the land of milk and honey embodied within a person. Someone to end the wandering. Someone to cash the check the first house bounced. Metaphorically speaking, Egypt is or was that first house. First deep love and first fracture in the same hands. Parental potters, works in progress, missing chances to love on you and tend what you needed. You loved them and quietly loathed them in the same breath. You lowered the price of being shaped. The labor was the cost of the strategy you had to develop, which let you keep the love for the parental potter's hands while surviving the mess their brokenness created within the environment and within your chest. Canaan is the fantasy that one later body will be the exodus. Disney named it happily ever after. Spacious. Sweet. Rest from that labor. Needs that no longer have to go on sale. No more exposure. No more self-knowledge. Happily ever after shirks the responsibility of a holographic relational environment. That environment is a crucible. Psychological nudity. Being known without a costume. The credits roll so you never have to stand in that. Inheritance, as if a vow sworn to a people could be performed by a spouse. You call that chemistry, destiny, finally. Intuition says I can rest now. Ask which climate trained that rest. The potter's house or here. Authority sold you settlement as love, then sold you the ending. Reason says one finite person cannot flow with milk and honey on command, and cannot cancel the crucible. Canaan in a couple is destination-logic, not peace-logic. In the text the land is sworn possession, deliverance into fruit after barrenness, pasture after scarcity, rest from war. Cities you did not build. Wells you did not dig. Vineyards you did not plant. Eat, be full, do not forget. That cargo gets dropped on a lover and renamed happily ever after. They will see you so the first invisibility dies. They will stay so the first leaving gets reversed. They will tend what the first potters missed. Conflict then feels like eviction from the land. Ordinary human limit feels like exile, like having to raise the price of yourself again. Peace becomes a product you buy with silence, sex, image, or church. You were not relating. You were occupying. The land already had people in it. Promise arrives with contest. Spies taste the fruit and still panic at the giants. Watch what you do after closeness. That is the empirical test. Do you soften into here, or do you scan for proof the giants are gone, the old quota is canceled, and the story has finally gone to credits. Their actual life becomes what must be driven out so your hunger can settle. A healthy bond is the anti-promised land because it refuses to hire one nervous system to finish the potter's job and refuses to play happily ever after with a human being. Presence is not a refund for Egypt. Relating is not collection for missed tending. Happily ever after is how the mask avoids psychological nudity. A kiss cannot annex a past. A vow cannot unwrite a childhood. The vows you can keep are smaller and harder. Tell the truth. Do not vanish. Do not turn their life into your territory. Stay in the exposure. Stay in the crucible. Covenant in the book can be lost. Exile sits in the same library as milk and honey. So can the marriage that was asked to be Canaan. The mask that will fight this hour is simple. I am the one who is owed rest from the labor of being shaped. I am the one who is owed a land that flows and a story that ends. If I drop that, I do not know who I am. Name one result that would change your mind. If you cannot, you are not inquiring. You are defending the deed. Are you with them in this room, or are you occupying them as the last Canaan that might still make you whole, waiting for them to keep a promise they never made, in a land they are not.

The things that happen on breakfast radio. You could write a book! Happily, Stephanie MacFie has done just that with her debut novel Once Upon a Breakfast Show (Text Publishing). Stephanie combines some of her own experiences from a long and successful media career with a romantic adventure (or misadventure) playing out with the star of a popular city breakfast radio show. Robyn Dennison's crime novel In Plain Sight (Text Publishing) is an impressive debut from a fresh voice in this genre. Detective Lara Wilton and a cast of strong, relatable characters bring this powerful and unpredictable story to life.

If the world is ending, why bother with missions? This week, Alex Kocman and Scott Dunford are joined in the ABWE studio by Benjamin Vrbicek, lead teaching pastor of Community Evangelical Free Church in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and author of The Restoration of All Things (Baker Books). For most Christians, the doctrine of last things produces anxiety, charts, and headline-watching rather than comfort. Benjamin came to the subject the hard way, studying every major view of Christ’s return for his own ordination, and came out the other side convinced that the biggest truth in Scripture ought to be the brightest one. Together they trace what that hope does to the missionary task. If history is moving toward a designed conclusion rather than circling endlessly, then the work we leave unfinished is not brass polished on a sinking ship but the beginning of something Christ will complete. They talk through why the classic rapture passage lands on “therefore encourage one another,” how the promise of final justice gives wronged and weary believers room to forgive, and how to live ready for Christ to return today while still planning to disciple the nations for generations. Key Topics: Why studying every major view of Christ’s return for his ordination made the biggest truth the brightest truth How a designed end to history, rather than an endless cycle, reframes the missionary task Why 1 Thessalonians 4, the classic rapture passage, lands on “therefore encourage one another” How the promise of final justice helps suffering believers and abandoned missionaries forgive and endure Holding imminence and long-term faithfulness together: living ready while planning to disciple the nations for generations How to pastor people away from newspaper eschatology toward the blessed hope of Christ’s presence and the resurrection of the body Do you love The Missions Show?

When you're hiring, your job post announcement should be more than a bullet list of duties, hours and pay rates. Done well, it should help you decide exactly WHO the job is for. In Part 2 of my four-part hiring series, we shift from Clarity into Attraction, the second stage of my CAST Method™ for hiring the right people for the job. Today, I'm walking you through the process I use to create a detailed position profile that attracts the right people — and filters out the wrong ones — way before I ever schedule an interview. Because here's the thing.The best hiring ads do more than list duties and qualifications. They communicate who you are, how you work, what you value, what you expect... ...and what kind of person will thrive as part of your team. And when you get that right? You may find yourself with the best kind of hiring problem: too many great candidates to choose from. Like I did last time.

"Distinctive and it always looks like this." That's Betsy discussing the artistic stylings of Jack E. Davis. Published in 2000, this book is pretty quintessentially early 00's. Now we have never done a Margie Palatini OR a Jack E. Davis on this podcast to date. Neither of these two have any currently operating and working websites either, so in some ways we're flying by the seat of our pants in this episode. Happily there is MUCH in this book to capture Kate's attention. An oddly mysterious little title.

Today's chapter is the final chapter of 2 Samuel. Strangely enough, it abruptly ends with a census, a plague, and a sacrifice. For the casual modern reader, it's definitely a head scratcher.

I learnt, felt brilliant for a little while, and then Monday arrived. The finish line had moved again.We do this with money, health, work, relationships, meditation and even inner peace. We tell ourselves, "I'll be happy when..." Yet when the thing arrives, it slowly becomes normal and another carrot appears ahead of us.In this episode, I explore why wanting more is not the enemy, why happiness comes and goes, and why contentment may be a kinder aim. I share the image of the carrot that moves with the cart, the importance of pausing halfway up the mountain, and a simple practice for catching the moment we try to skip the life we are already living.This is not about giving up our goals or pretending money, health and security do not matter. It is about taking the next step without making it responsible for finally allowing us to be here.Stillness in the Storms is independent and advert free.

You just do not have to skip your life to get there.Notable quotes from the recording "What if the one thing you keep chasing is the reason you cannot be happy? Is the reason you cannot rest?"

Summary: One area we plan to explore at Resolution is personas and character training, operationalized as finding and controlling low-dimensional structure in models that emerges in pretraining and flows through post-training to superintelligence. The hope is to expand and systematize phenomena such as emergent misalignment, subliminal learning, and other empirical persona research, then intervene on this structure without accidentally hiding undesirable behavior elsewhere. If this approach resonates with you, considering working with us. Glimmers of low-dimensional structure Our understanding of AI training and alignment as a field is very poor. If sufficient alignment of superintelligent AI agents requires pinning down the precise meaning of alignment and turning that meaning into high-accuracy training data and algorithms, we are likely to fail. Modern LLMs have trillions of parameters: our understanding is unlikely to be sufficient to pin down a trillion separate numbers. Happily, there is a growing literature on such low-dimensional structure in AI models, showing that intervening on one aspect of model behavior has strong downstream effects on other aspects: Topic Description Emergent misalignment Betley et al. 2025 found that LLMs fine-tuned to output insecure code can become broadly misaligned across many other behaviors.

What if patients aren't saying no because of the price, but because they haven't experienced the value?  Many doctors struggle with pricing because they're viewing it through the lens of cost rather than impact.  In this episode, Dr. Stephen and Dr. Pete unpack why experience and outcomes are the two forces that drive value, how pricing communicates value before a patient ever starts care, and why a remarkable patient experience creates opportunities that discounting never will.  From limiting beliefs around money to real-world examples of luxury purchases, restaurants, and patient care, this conversation challenges practice owners to rethink what they're actually selling and how that influences every pricing decision they make. The result is a powerful shift from defending fees to creating value that patients are happy to invest in.   In This Episode You Will Discover: Why the biggest pricing problem in most practices starts long before the report of findings  A powerful distinction between what patients pay for and what they actually value The hidden danger of building a business model around assumptions about what people can afford  How one bad experience can erase an otherwise exceptional outcome  What it really means to become the practice everyone in town talks about   Episode Highlights 02:57 - What if the biggest obstacle to raising prices has nothing to do with your patients?  03:38 - How do you put a price on changing the trajectory of someone's life?  04:21 - The people most doctors think are broke may actually have a completely different problem.  04:54 - Why working harder can never fix a broken business model.  05:19 - The difference between something that costs less and something that's actually worth more.  07:13 - What changes when a doctor becomes fully convinced of the value they provide?  08:15 - Patients don't always make decisions based on price, but they always make them based on value.  09:34 - Why higher prices often create a stronger perception of quality before a word is spoken.  11:01 - What are patients really buying when they choose a practice?  14:07 - How quickly can one interaction convince someone they're in the right place?  17:30 - One bad experience was enough to erase everything that went right.  19:02 - Every patient is making a value calculation, whether they realize it or not.  19:59 - Remarkable isn't a marketing term. It's a standard.  21:51 - What are patients talking about when they leave your office?  24:23 - Were they paying for breakfast, or were they paying for something else entirely? 25:04 - Dan Anticich from Success Partner Twoconnect, joins Dr. Andrew to discuss how chiropractic practices can improve lead conversion, patient reactivation, and operational efficiency through dedicated offshore support. They explore how virtual team members help practices protect marketing investments, strengthen patient communication, reduce administrative workload, and create scalable systems that support sustainable growth.   Resources Mentioned To learn more about the REM CEO Program, please visit:  http://www.theremarkablepractice.com/rem-ceo For more information about Two Connect please visit: https://twoconnect.com.au/  Book a Strategy Session with Dr. Pete - https://go.oncehub.com/PodcastPC Prefer to watch?

The final episode of season 5!

In this episode I walk you through what happened next — the runaround about "better pricing," the 120 links you scroll past just to find the actual hotel site, and the moment it asked me to create an account before it would take my money. That's where I lost it. I picked up my card, walked out, drove four blocks, and paid more at the next place. Happily.What we get into:Why "we'll give you a better price online" is a lie customers can smellThe real cost of making people jump through hoops to pay youHow the check-in-the-mail habit quietly delays projects and kills salesAppointment-only, business-hours-only, sign-up-to-leave-a-review — the friction you stopped noticingWhy you can't spot your own barriers, and the one thing I do first on every consulting job

Remember God loves you so much he sent his Son Jesus Christ to take the punishment for your sins. You are of great value. Jesus loves you and He is just a prayer away! This episode includes AI-generated content.

Who among us does not have a deep desire for joy and peace. Nobody volunteers for anxiety and distraction. While sometimes it seems elusive, every one of us prefers an internal atmosphere that is healthy, calm, and hopeful. One of the agendas of the enemy is to steal God's peace from us and replace it with worry and fear. He seeks to devise Christians via intimidation and feelings of dread about the future. Happily, the Apostle Paul wrote clear instructions to us about how we can and must disarm the devil in his mission against us. All of us have the responsibility AND empowerment to protect and preserve our own internal atmospheres.

Stefan Molyneux, a familiar name to most of my listeners, hosted the world's largest philosophy show until he was suddenly deplatformed everywhere. He had thought: I have the truth on my side, so who can stop me? But they want you to repeat -- or at least not outwardly object to -- a series of absurdities, and that makes a truth-teller dangerous. Happily, nowadays people regularly say far more provocative things than anything Stefan was punished for. He and I discuss this and plenty more.

Joseph shot her twice in the head using a red throw pillow to muffle the gunshots, dismembered her body, and spent days lying to family before a friend called 911. A Vermont jury convicted him of first-degree murder, sentencing him to 42.5 years to life. Get the full story on this episode of Crimes of Passion with Law&Crime's Sierra Gillespie.

What does it really take to let go of the fairy tale you were raised with and create a life, and family, that's truly your own? In this episode, I sit down with Cheri Bergeron, Austin author, single mom by choice, and passionate advocate for women navigating new paths to motherhood.Cheri's journey has included fertility challenges, marriage and divorce, donor conception loss, and ultimately, building her family in unexpected and deeply intentional ways. Her story is raw, emotional, and so relatable for anyone who has found themselves facing a future far different from the one they once imagined. We talk honestly about the push and pull between career ambition and the dream of motherhood, and what happens when timelines, biology, or relationships don't line up the way you hoped.Cheri shares the lessons she learned about advocating for yourself in the fertility world, building non-traditional village support, and making empowered choices no matter how many pivots your journey requires. We also open up about the real fears so many single mothers by choice face: Will our children be okay? What will people think if we have kids “later”? And how can intentional community shape the way we (and our kids) experience solo motherhood?In this episode, we talk about:Cheri's path from a “Prince Convenient” marriage to solo motherhood by choiceThe realities and surprises of using donor eggs and navigating IVF in your 40sGrieving the losses that come with fertility challenges and transitionsWhy clarity around your values can guide even the hardest decisionsRethinking what your village looks like, and building a non-traditional support systemHandling judgment, both real and imagined, from family and yourselfHow to hold space for kids' questions and thrive as a single-parent familyConnect with Cheri:WebsiteCheri's book, Mission: Motherhood

Matthew #51: Faithfully Waiting (Matthew 24:36-51) Rob Woodrum (5/24/26) Download My wife and oldest daughter were in Chicago once, trying to navigate our way to my son's house on the city's train service. This was back before it became much easier and all on your phone – at that time we had to buy metro cards and load them with the proper amount for our trip. My daughter had gotten hers in order and had gone through the turnstiles, but my wife and I encountered a problem and the cards wouldn't work.“Wait for us on that side, we'll be there soon!” we shouted to her above the noise on the busy platform.We finally got things squared away, paying more than we probably needed to, inserted our cards and moved through the turnstiles to look for my daughter. She was nowhere to be found. We looked around, confused and feeling a bit panicked, when we heard a shout from behind us. There she was, back from where we had just come, on the other side of the turnstiles, smiling sheepishly.“I got tired of waiting and came to see if I could help.” she offered. Happily, she got through and we made it to our train…but just barely.It can be a frustrating thing when we've asked someone to wait for us, and they don't do it or befuddle a plan by doing something extra. It can be a devastating thing if we fail to wait faithfully for Jesus when he told us to.This Sunday we'll be reading Matthew 24:36-51 in our study of that Gospel. In our text, Jesus makes it as explicit as he can that nobody will know just when Jesus will return. It's astonishing how many ignore that bit of Scripture.Jesus will use a few picture to emphasize the point. It will be like the days of Noah – everything going along as it always had until it doesn't. Some will be swept away in judgement, others will remain behind in safety. The only difference, apparently, is their faithfulness in waiting.Then Jesus tells a parable to explain what faithful waiting looks like. What was the faithful servant doing when the landowner returned? How does that contrast with the unfaithful servant – what parts are common denominators in both their descriptions? What do you think we learn about the nature of faithfully waiting for Jesus to return? What might it entail in a real-life scenario?Hopefully we'll be challenged and grow from our exploration of this text. We'll have a missions update from Suzy Zechman about In Deed and Truth ministries as well! Hope you can join us!Click here for a pdf of the teaching slideshow.

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when you go into marriage expecting your spouse to make you happy, fix your wounds, or finally give your life the meaning you've been looking for?In this episode, we talk about why your spouse was never meant to be your savior. Marriage is not just two people coexisting, splitting chores, raising kids, and trying to stay comfortable. For Catholics, marriage is a sacramental journey toward Jesus. That means romance, joy, friendship, suffering, healing, sacrifice, and grace all belong inside the story.We also talk about the “pictures” we carry into marriage, how shows like Boy Meets World shaped our expectations, why marriage can feel disappointing when our picture is wrong, and why Jesus has to be more than an add-on in marriage formation.Looking for some accompaniment when it comes to talk about sex with your spouse?, Check out our book and order Lovemaking: How to talk about sex with your spouseOur other booksGo To Joseph: 10 Day Consecration to St. JosephGo To Joseph For ChildrenDon't forget to visit https://twobecomefamily.substack.com/Support the show

Taking a toddler to Walt Disney World?

Having crushes in a relationship – harmless or unhealthy? We are breaking it all down with data from our listeners and discussing how normal it is, what counts as “harmless,” the differences between men and women having crushes, the “work wife” trope, when fantasizing becomes a problem, and more. We break down an article titled “The Secret to a Great Marriage? Crushes on Other People” and a listener email with the subject line “Happily married, but still fantasize about others.. is that fucked up?” We also share our own experiences (including Ashley's current crush). Before we get into the topic, we are discussing the hot topic of couples fighting over food delivery costs, and Rayna has a tour announcement! Enjoy!

It's our last visit to the Chateau d'Amour Inconnu, and we're leaving on a high note, because the second half of the book is full of unhinged drama, including one scene which immediately earns its place in the Sweet Valley gallery of iconic moments. With Jacques nobly sacrificing himself to prove the twins' innocence, will he spend the rest of his days in the dungeon? Will Laurent grow a spine? And will we ever find out the source of the Countess's seemingly limitless power? The answer to all three questions is no!

In this episode, Danielle Gill analyzes the downfall of the happy ending in our modern media landscape. Gone are the days of the Disney princess and the fairytale ending. Now everything is about “finding yourself” instead of your Prince Charming. This is equally detrimental to the human person as it is to society, marriage, and the human family.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
