In this episode of the Garage Gym Athlete podcast, Jerred Moon and Dave discuss the concept of brain endurance training and its significance in enhancing physical performance. They share personal experiences and insights on how mental resilience can impact athletic performance, particularly in high-pressure situations. The conversation delves into scientific studies that demonstrate the effectiveness of cognitive load during physical training and offers practical applications for garage gym athletes. The hosts emphasize the importance of pushing through mental fatigue and embracing challenges to foster growth and resilience in both training and daily life. Takeaways Brain endurance training can significantly enhance physical performance. Mental resilience is crucial for success in high-pressure environments. Cognitive load during workouts can improve endurance and strength. Training when mentally fatigued can build mental toughness. The Stroop test is an effective method for brain endurance training. Incorporating cognitive challenges into workouts can yield performance gains. Embracing hard tasks daily fosters personal growth and resilience. Consistency in training is key to long-term success.

Dr. Friday explains that IRS relief options may be available when taxpayers face hardship, disasters, or serious processing delays. She recommends documenting issues and getting help when resolving a case with the IRS becomes difficult. Transcript G’day, I’m Dr. Friday, president of Dr. Friday’s Tax and Financial Firm. To get more info, go to www.drfriday.com. This is a one-minute moment. IRS protocol updates: IRS relief options in 2025 may include expanded criteria for taxpayers impacted by economic hardship, natural disasters, or just delay in IRS processing. Keep in mind the IRS is basically closed for almost two to three months, and even now it’s difficult to get information. Now they will not say if you can’t reach someone on the phone that that’s a good reason for hardship, but you could put together a decent case of explaining how many times you called, how many times you got misinformation, or maybe no information because the person answering the phone doesn’t know. You need help with that? 615-367-0819. You can catch the Dr. Friday Call-in Show live every Saturday afternoon from 2 to 3 p.m. right here on 99.7 WTN.

We're kicking off a brand new two-week marriage and relationships series called “Tighten the Knot.” In this message, Pastor Sean King sets the foundation by addressing why relationships are often so difficult and how God's original design offers a better way forward. Starting in Genesis, Pastor Sean walks us through God's vision for relationships, how sin distorted that design, and why our choices matter. This message contrasts the pattern of the world with the biblical pattern for relationships, marriage, sexuality, and identity, reminding us that sanctification is a process God invites us into with grace and patience. Whether you're married, single, dating, or hoping to be someday, this message offers biblical wisdom, practical truth, and hope for restoration. God's design is not meant to shame us, but to lead us toward freedom, healing, and wholeness.

The book of Ruth opens with tragedy, no mention of God, and no relief from the hardship. Naomi has lost her husband, her sons, and is in the foreign land of Moab outside of the Promised Land. Yet, the Lord is present in the struggle. In the bitter providence that has no explanation, the Lord is still good and He is still God. He is the same today and always, that however life leads us - He remains.

Pastor David Hwang shared from Romans 12:1-2 about how renewing the mind is related to tending well, our roots in Jesus.

In this episode of Makes Sense with Dr. JC, we explore a quiet but unsettling observation: as AI advances and digital content explodes, many of us are feeling less connected, less nourished, and less sure about what's real. This isn't a complaint; it's a moment of awareness. A Hmmm? From social media illusions and synthetic meaning to ancient wisdom traditions that warned us about Maya, the illusion of “not now,” this episode invites you to question a deeply ingrained belief: that life's blessings exist somewhere in the future, after you've fixed yourself, earned enough, or survived one more season. What if that belief is backwards? Through personal reflection, spiritual insight, and lived experience, including lessons from deep inner stripping rather than addition, this conversation reframes hardship, loss, and disruption as moments where the wrapping paper of illusion is torn away, revealing what was never missing to begin with. This episode is an invitation to stop running past your life… and finally unwrap the present. Make Sense?

Zach sits down with Justin and Kylie Coulson, parents of six daughters and co-creators of the Happy Families movement. What unfolds is a deeply honest conversation about failure, repair, intention, and the long road toward building a family culture that actually feels good to live in. Justin shares a pivotal early-parenting moment that became the turning point of his life: a loss of control with one of their young children that forced him to confront who he was becoming as a father and husband. Kylie describes the clarity she felt in that moment—her love for Justin alongside her unwavering commitment to her children's safety—and how that line in the sand changed everything. From there, the conversation traces Justin's radical career pivot from radio to psychology, the years of study and sacrifice that followed, and the birth of the Happy Families philosophy. Together, Justin and Kylie unpack what “happy” actually means—not the absence of hardship, but the presence of connection, safety, and shared joy, especially around the family table. They share the simple but powerful structures they use to stay aligned: weekly check-ins, quarterly retreats, and a three-question framework that replaces blame with collaboration. Through stories of totalled cars, hard choices, and repaired moments, Justin and Kylie show how families are built—not through perfection, but through practised responses, accountability, and love that stays bigger than the mess. Key Takeaways We always get to choose our response – Circumstances don't dictate behavior; intention does. People matter, things don't – Safety, connection, and relationship always come before stuff. Happy families are built, not inherited – Skills like communication, repair, and emotional regulation are learnable. Hardship doesn't cancel happiness – Joy is found in meaning, not ease. Repair builds trust – Conflict isn't the enemy; unresolved conflict is. Structure creates safety – Regular check-ins and retreats help families stay aligned. Blame kills collaboration – Asking “How can we support each other?” changes everything. The table is the vision – A family that wants to be together is the real measure of success. Guest Info Justin & Kylie Coulson Justin Coulson is a parenting expert, author, psychologist, and founder of Happy Families (https://happyfamilies.com.au/). He hosts Australia's most-downloaded parenting podcast, The Happy Families Podcast, and appears on national television. Kylie Coulson is his partner in parenting and purpose, bringing clarity, steadiness, and lived wisdom to their work together. They are parents of six daughters, grandparents to one (and counting), and passionate advocates for intentional family culture. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Episode 3839: Cylon George unpacks the uncomfortable truth that suffering isn't just unavoidable, it's vital for building resilience, clarity, and inner strength. With insights from his own journey and reflections on how we often avoid necessary discomfort, he reveals how embracing pain can actually reduce our overall suffering and lead to deep personal growth. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.spirituallivingforbusypeople.com/why-we-need-suffering Quotes to ponder: "We flee from necessary suffering only to increase our unnecessary suffering." "Once you can get beyond blaming your suffering on others, God, or the universe, you'll begin to gain the resources to deal with what's in front of you." "Embrace your pain. Lean into discomfort. And you'll discover a spiritual strength you never thought possible."

The COVID-19 pandemic changed the economic circumstances of many, creating demand for direct aid, interrupting consumer spending, and altering the nature of work. Today, there are people across the country in lockdown again — mixed-status immigrant families, who are experiencing disruptive economic pressures that mirror the pandemic. Today, we'll draw parallels. Plus, more people admit to stealing at self-checkouts. And, what can we expect from the Federal Reserve in 2026?
