In this week's episode, Dr. John Snyder welcomes pastor and author Jeremy Walker to discuss his new devotional, A Word in Season: 50 Days of Hope for Hard Times. Many of you will know Jeremy from his two Media Gratiae podcasts—From the Heart of Spurgeon and A Word in Season. In this conversation, Jeremy shares the story behind both projects, the pastoral concerns that first prompted the daily A Word in Season recordings during the uncertainties of 2020–2021, and how these brief meditations have continued to encourage believers across the world. He also reflects on the process of shaping those recordings into a written devotional and the unique value books offer for Christian growth. If you are new to Jeremy's preaching and writing, we commend him to you wholeheartedly. You can find links to all those below.

MEI Senior Fellow Fadi Nicholas Nassar joins host Matthew Czekaj to share expert insights and personal reflections on Pope Leo XIV's trip to Lebanon from November 30 to December 2. Nassar unpacks the significance of the visit, part of the pontiff's first overseas tour since assuming office, and its potential impact on Lebanon's untenable status quo. The conversation explores key questions, including the ability of spiritual and moral authority to compensate for the shortcomings of political leadership as well as whether Lebanon's government will be able to capitalize on the momentum generated by this visit as the possible return of conflict looms on the horizon.

This week, we end season seven of Off the Grid with an honest conversation about self-employment amidst polycrisis.I'm joined by the inimitable Shivani Mehta Bhatia — who returns to the show to help us weave our experiences of grief, witnessing, conflict, rest, deep sorrow, and profound joy.It's been a long year, and we quite literally laugh and cry as we reflect on how 2025 has clarified our commitments — including how we've (imperfectly) kept working through it all.Tune in, then if you want to process together: join me for a free end-of-year journalling session on December 9th. We'll gather, look back at 2025, and do our best to hold it all collectively.
On this episode of The Mark White Show, I'm joined by Icing Smiles founder Tracy Quisenberry and volunteer Sugar Angel Connie Ash. Icing Smiles is a nationwide nonprofit that provides custom celebration cakes to families with a child facing a critical medical illness. These cakes offer comfort, joy, and a moment of normalcy during some of the toughest days a family will ever face. Tracy shares how the organization began in 2010, why this mission matters, and how it has grown into a network of more than fourteen thousand volunteer bakers serving families across all fifty states. Connie shares her own story, including the moment she overcame self doubt, applied to become a Sugar Angel, and began creating cakes that now lift the hearts of medical families in need. This is a conversation about kindness, courage, and the power of small acts that make a big difference.
Most people talk about gratitude like it's a simple list: family, health, success. But real gratitude, the kind that transforms you, is earned through adversity. Through the hard seasons. Through the moments you weren't sure you'd make it to the other side.In this episode, I open up about the experiences that shaped my own gratitude: coming to Florida in 2007 with no job and three little kids, building a life from nothing, walking through health crises, and learning what it really means to stay grounded, stay focused, and keep going.These aren't clichés. These are lived moments that changed my DNA. And today, I want to share what those moments taught me, and how you can find powerful gratitude inside your own challenges.In this episode, you'll learn:- Why gratitude built through adversity lasts the longest- How fear changes once you've walked through the unknown- The real story of rebuilding your life in a new place- What health scares can teach you about purpose and perspective- Why growing apart from certain people is part of evolving- How to find your “why” when everything feels uncertain- The mindset shift that turns struggle into strengthLike this episode?

Please share how this podcast is affecting your mental well-being. Please also know that we have a course called the "14 Days To Mental Health Wellness" Type this is your search bar. pensight.com/x/winoverdepressionWhen life feels like a storm you can't outrun, the answer isn't force—it's a better compass. We break the crisis into four pillars you can actually use when emotions surge: resilience to bounce back, courage to act while afraid, faith to steady your direction, and stamina to keep going longer than the weather. Through vivid imagery, a ship bracing for high waves and headwinds becomes a practical mindset you can return to when you're overwhelmed by depression, doubt, or daily stresses that stack up.We start with resilience as a skill, not a mood, and spell out small, workable moves that reset your nervous system and restore agency in minutes. Courage follows as a practice of boundaries and first steps—sending the message, making the call, or saying no—while fear rides in the passenger seat. Faith anchors the journey with a reminder that tests can harden you to difficulty, preparing you for wider influence and bigger responsibilities. Whether your faith is rooted in God, purpose, or community, the compass stays true through routine, reflection, and a short daily affirmation you can memorize.Stamina ties it all together with sustainable rhythms: sleep windows, hydration, movement, and a one-choice-at-a-time approach to progress. You'll hear a concise affirmation to repeat when the wind rises—“I am resilient, I am courageous, I have faith, I endure, and I will ride out this storm”—plus a reframing of setbacks as training for future strength. If you've felt stuck in quicksand or worn thin by long seasons of hardship, this conversation offers clarity, tools, and a hopeful perspective you can put to work today.If this helped you breathe easier and stand taller, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs courage today, and leave a quick review so more people can find these tools. Your voice helps others find their way through the storm.Support the showWin Over Depression Course: '14 Days to Mental Health Wellness" GET THE COURSE NOW: COPY AND PASTE IN YOUR BROWSER pensight.com/x/winoverdepressionhttps://www.winoverdepression.orghttps://www.patreon.com/tameratrotterhttps://www.stitcher.com/podcast/tameras-podcast

This episode was inspired by an unexpected, deep conversation I had downstairs at the café just minutes before hitting record. A table full of strangers turned into real connection — the kind that happens when you drop the filter and speak honestly about what's actually going on in your life. One moment in particular stood out: when I mentioned my recent separation, the immediate response was, “I'm so sorry.” And that sparked today's message. I share why I lovingly shut down sympathy — not because people mean harm, but because I refuse to see my challenges as something “bad.” Instead, I break down the belief that's reshaped my life: Life is rigged in your favour Anything you declare you want — deeper love, a thriving business, better health — requires you to grow into the person who can hold it. And that growth often comes disguised as hardship. I talk openly about my marriage, the darkness it revealed, and how the pain ultimately upgraded who I am as a partner, a man, and a human being. If you're going through a tough season, this episode will help you reframe it — not by denying the difficulty, but by seeing the meaning in it.

Every season of life carries memories—some that warm our hearts, and others that weigh heavily on our souls. As we move into the holiday months, today's prayer and devotional reminds us that many of us feel a deep mixture of joy and sorrow. Vivian Bricker reminds us that no matter what season we find ourselves in, God’s blessings are still present, even if they feel difficult to see. Scripture tells us that every good and perfect gift comes from the Father (James 1:17). Apart from God, we have no good thing (Psalm 16:2). And even in the hardest seasons, God is still at work—bringing life out of what feels dead (Ezekiel 37) and working all things together for our good (Romans 8:28). Vivian vulnerably shares her own struggle to see God’s goodness in a difficult season. Perhaps you can relate. Sometimes life feels like Paddington Bear’s lament: “Why do bad things always happen to me?” And yet, the truth of Ecclesiastes 3:1 brings hope—this season will not last forever. Seasons change. Hardship has an end. God’s faithfulness does not. Even when blessings feel hidden, God’s presence remains constant. Psalm 23 reminds us that He is with us in every valley and on every mountaintop. And the greatest blessing of all—His unfailing love—cannot be taken from us (Romans 8:37–39). This Thanksgiving season, may we ask God for renewed vision to see His blessings, even in small ways, and to trust His steady love through every change. Today's Bible Reading:“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” – Ecclesiastes 3:1 Takeaway Truths God’s blessings surround us even when life feels heavy. Every season of life—good or painful—has a purpose and an appointed end. God’s presence and His love remain the greatest blessings we will ever receive. Let’s Pray Dear God, help me to see Your blessings in every season. Although this present season feels heavy, allow me to see You. Your blessings are always around me, and they fill me with much joy. Despite the difficult hardships and struggles I'm facing right now, I turn my focus to You. Shield my heart from negativity and help me to see Your blessings. I know they are always around me, just as Your presence always surrounds me. Walk with me as I enter this new season and help me to remember that You are eternally with me. There is time and a place for everything, and I praise You that You are the orchestrator behind them all. In Your Son’s Name, I pray, Amen.

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery interviews Gregory Betts, one of the poets behind the collaboration, Muttertongue: what is a word in utter space (Exile Editions, 2025) – by Lillian Allen (Toronto' s seventh Poet Laureate, a dub poet, writer, and Juno Award winner), Gary Barwin (poet, writer, composer, multimedia artist, performer, and educator), and Gregory Betts (whose writing explores the boundaries between self, other, and alien – the radical other). This is a collaborative collection that crackles in its exploration of land, language, and page space. Combining the intensity of Dub Poetry with the intricacies of experimental poetics, Muttertongue presents a sonorous soundscape echoing with the question of where (and why) is here (hear). The book opens with a dialogue between the three authors, and concludes with an Afterword by Kaie Kellough. The release of the book recedes a new music LP by the three authors (June of 2025). This is a project by the Muttertongue Trio: Allen • Barwin • Betts. Lillian Allen is the 7th Poet Laureate of Toronto and a professor of creative writing at Ontario College of Art and Design University. She is a two time JUNO award winner and trailblazer in the field of spoken word and dub poetry.

Lillian's latest collection Make the World New: The Poetry of Lillian Allen, edited by Ronald Cummings was published in Spring 2021 and is part of the Laurier Poetry Series. Her other collections, Women Do This Everyday and Psychic Unrest are studied across the educational spectrum. Her literary work for young people includes three books: Why Me, If You See Truth, and Nothing But a Hero. She received the Margaret Laurence Lecture award, 2020 and the Gustafson Distinguished Poet award, 2021. She is a Toronto Cultural Champion and the recipient of an Honorary Doctorate for her contribution to Canadian Letters. Her current art practice veers into vocal sonic poetics and explores pre-language and post-language poetics. Gary Barwin is a writer, musician and multimedia artist and the author of 34 books including Scandal at the Alphorn Factory: New and Selected Short Fiction 2024-1984. His national bestselling novel Yiddish for Pirates which won the Leacock Medal and the Canadian Jewish Literary Award, was a finalist for the Governor General's Award and the Giller Prize and was longlisted for Canada Reads. His last novel, Nothing the Same, Everything Haunted won the Canadian Jewish Literary Award and was the Hamilton Reads choice for 2023-2024. His last poetry collection, The Most Charming Creatures also won the Canadian Jewish Literary Award. His most recent novel, The Comedian's Book of the Dead will be published in 2026.

Hey, Heal Squad! With the holiday's right around the corner, we know that it can be a tough season for some. So, today we're talking about something every one of us goes through but almost no one talks about honestly: those tough, messy, confusing life moments that feel like they're pulling you backward… and how you can use it to move you toward your next level of growth! Maria shares what she's been learning in her own “rainy season,” from the unexpected challenges that knocked her off course to the mindset shifts that helped her stay grounded when life felt overwhelming. She opens up about the moments that tested her faith, the tools she used to stay connected to her intuition, and how she learned to trust that hard seasons are not punishments, they're preparation. Sometimes this season looks like slowing down, surrendering control, letting old versions of yourself fall away, and allowing life to redirect you… you've got this! -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/ Thrive Causemetics: https://thrivecausemetics.com/healsquad Get 20% OFF with this link!

200,000+ leaders have become unbeatable with my operating system, will you be the next? Join The Unbeatable Leader Challenge Today: https://www.unbeatableleader.comIn this episode of the Mark Divine Show, Mark Divine interviews Curtis Morley, Wall Street Journal bestselling author, entrepreneur, and self-described emotion artist. They discuss the significance of understanding authentic emotions vs. counterfeit emotions and how these distinctions impact leadership, personal growth, and recovery. Curtis shares his insights into emotional intelligence, emotional development, and his personal journey from tech entrepreneur to helping leaders build high-integrity lives. They emphasize emotional authenticity, curiosity, and the importance of addressing root-level emotional patterns to achieve transformative growth. Curtis also previews his upcoming book, 'Counterfeit Emotions,' which explores these themes in depth.Here's what you'll learn: -The True Meaning of SuccessSuccess is redefined from external achievements—like trophies, awards, and recognition—to an internal sense of fulfillment. True success is about what's happening inside, not what's displayed on a shelf.-Emotional Intelligence: The #1 Predictor of SuccessAcross all areas of life, emotional intelligence is the top indicator of future success. It's not about skills or degrees, but about understanding your own feelings and knowing how to manage them.-Failures as the Path to GrowthGrowth comes from failures, not just successes. Learning to let go, forgive, and stop playing the victim is essential. Most successful people have experienced significant failures, which often become their greatest blessings.-The Power of Vulnerability in LeadershipTrue courage in leadership means being open and vulnerable—admitting when you don't have the answers or need help. This authenticity makes leaders stronger and more relatable.-Kindness vs. Niceness: The Power of BoundariesNiceness can be a defense mechanism to avoid conflict, while true kindness starts with setting boundaries and being kind to yourself. You can only be as kind to others as you are to yourself.BUBS Naturals: I use BUBS Naturals daily for focus, recovery, and hydration—all built on a mission to honor a fallen Navy SEAL.
