In this lively episode of the Five Heart Podcast, Greg and Minnie broadcast from different time zones, with Minnie joining in from vacation. The duo welcomes familiar faces in the chat and discusses everything from recliners and casseroles to college football recruiting. The big news includes Nebraska's 2026 commit, four-star OT Hayden Ainsworth, and the de-commitment of four-star CB CJ  Bronaugh, who flipped to Florida. Tight end prospect Luke Sorensen's visit to Nebraska also generated buzz, along with possibilities of the Huskers flipping Syracuse commits. The show reflects on O-line development, with optimism for Justin Evans and Grant Brix. The conversation takes a fun, off-topic detour into Midwestern stereotypes and “You might be from the Midwest if…” jokes, led by Minnie, at Greg's expense. Greg also shares a heartfelt Father's Day moment and shows off a personalized Funko Pop gift. Wrapping up, Greg croons a birthday serenade to Melissa, much to everyone's amusement. As always, the podcast combines serious football talk with humor and community interaction. Fans are invited to send in their “Mount Rushmore of Husker Plays” for next week's episode.

Everyone who cares about something and is investing themselves in what they care about is leading. Leaders find much fulfillment in serving others.  Whether it's serving as a CEO or a parent, the most significant moments for leaders come when they are giving their gifts, abilities, passion, and creativity.  Leaders who pour out great energy doing what is fulfilling also need to refill.   *Leaders need to be able to receive restoration and replenishment so they can continue to serve well. They refill by being humble enough to know their limits, to recognize their needs, and to ask for help.    I have worked with leaders for more than thirty-five years. I have recognized five common pitfalls that block leaders from receiving the replenishment that is essential to lead well. These pitfalls can stymie a leader's passion and purpose. As a result, the people the leader wishes to help ultimately do not receive what they need.   Pitfalls of Leadership Life is full of struggle, and the struggle is not preventable. Samuel Beckett wrote, “You are on earth. There is no cure for that.” Life's struggles are inevitable, but the Pitfalls of Leadership are preventable.   The Five Pitfalls: Work becomes confused with one's worth. Performance begins to be valued more than one's presence. People become things. To be an example to others, the true self is isolated. Secrets sap one's passion and purpose.   These pitfalls can destroy careers, friendships, reputations, marriages and families—unless one is freed from them.    Everyone always wonders, “What happened to them? How did this self-destruction happen?”   These episodes on the “Pitfalls” are about preventing those questions from being asked. Whether you are a parent, a pastor, a plumber, or a pulmonologist, these episodes are for you.   These episodes are also about what to do when you find yourself in the “Pitfalls” or when the consequences have already impacted your life.   Hope in spite of the Pitfalls: The beauty of life and the beauty of God in our lives gives us the hope of: redemption recovery restoration   Click here to continue reading the episode highlights.

Women have for centuries been minimized and diminished, sometimes mistakenly using God as the “reason” and “right” to do so.   A man has a responsibility to honor his spouse with encouragement, and with the security that  supports the expansion of her gifts.   Conclusive Main Points of “Understanding a Woman's Heart,” Episodes #63-#69 before sharing the importance of the Hebrew word Ezer, which is used to refer to  women in the Bible  The Need to Listen:  A great sadness in many marriages is that the man actually doesn't truly listen. So often, he is so  “busy” attempting to “prove” himself, “earn” love through performance, and mistakenly  equating being respected with actually being controlling, that he ends up being responsible FOR her rather than response-able TO her.  Episodes #32 and Episode #43.    The man often believes that:  If she has feelings, he has to fix them, rather than listen to them.  If she is in a “mood” or thinking “negatively,” he has to change it, rather than be curious  about her.  If she is behaving in ways that he doesn't understand, he has to stop it, rather than  question her to find out more.  If he is going to be emotionally connected to her and get his own needs met, he must  “read her mind,” which discounts actually listening to what she is saying, rather than  simply being humble enough to believe what she is saying.  Suppression of Expression = Depressing the Heart  If the man doesn't learn the “art” of listening to the woman (Episode #68 and Episode #69) he will be participating in suppressing the person that God created to be fully alive. The “fruit” produced by a woman who is fully alive, will be diminished.  “You are on earth. There is no cure for that.” Samuel Beckett:  Regardless of the mistakes that all humans make in relationship, we are inevitably and  inextricably created for relationship and its benefits. Mistakes and pain in relationship are  always going to be part and parcel of marriage. Each person must be able to relate to suffering and what it is like to be a human being on this earth. Each person must develop great tolerance  for being imperfect. This side of heaven, there is no perfect.   Click here to continue reading the episode highlights.

Contact Bryan Barley for coaching at bryan@vothcenter.com.    Origins of Understanding a Woman's Heart In this podcast series we have been discussing the dynamics of a woman's heart in relation to a man's heart. The content we have discussed has come from education and research; Scriptural foundations; and even more, from the 1000s of individuals and couples whom I have worked with in a therapeutic setting.   Relationships are a matter of the heart, as much and more than they are an experience of the brain: A woman experiences herself as chosen through the security the man creates for her by being a Redeemer, Protector, and Provider, in that order. She can offer her dependency to the man in an authentic way if he brings these qualities. A man experiences himself as appreciated because he has brought his whole heart to the relationship, allowing vulnerability, availability, and gentleness to lead the internal life of the relationship.  In this way, the foundational needs of belonging and mattering are met through relationship.   The connected couple can build on the foundation of security and appreciation.    This couple will experience the future together, come what may, because their connection and commitment are based in the “pain tolerance” of the heart, not the “pain intolerance” of the brain. The brain seeks pleasure; the heart tolerates the pain of love.   Super Practical “Response-Abilities” After creating a foundation for understanding the emotional and spiritual needs of the relationship, the following reality needs to be grasped: A man's primary job is “customer service”! A man is created to serve others, especially his family.    A man serves best when he does the following three actions consistently: TCB: A man needs to “take care of business.” He needs to pay the bills before the frills. He needs to attend to the place they live, and oversee the management of property and vocation. Stay on Mission: A man needs to stay focused on whatever calling, role, or position he has been assigned to fulfill. In this way, he reinforces his own self-respect and shows himself to be dependable and trustworthy. Do Not Overly Need a Woman: A man does not need to overly need a woman. He must not pressure his spouse to be his constant emotional support. He knows he needs to get his needs met from peers who have the same experiences that all true men risk experiencing. He knows what the woman cannot do for him. Click here to continue reading the episode highlights.

The Paranormal Heart Podcast welcomes Lily McNamara Host: Kat Ward Date: May 20th, 2025 Segment: 34 Topic: Quantum Bigfoot About Ron: Ron Morehead has been known for decades for his world-wide research into the Bigfoot/Sasquatch phenomenon. He is an author, researcher, lecturer, experiencer, and producer of the Sierra Sounds. To date, he comes closer than any other researcher to having a complete body of evidence. The Sierra Sounds are the only Bigfoot recordings that have been scientifically studied, time-tested, and accredited as genuine. Ron has documented his personal interactions with these giant beings and produced his story on a CD and also in a book, “Voices in the Wilderness.” In order to try and understand the enigmas associated with these giants, he began to delve into Quantum Physics for the scientific answers that he and his hunting friends experienced, and as a result he wrote another thought-provoking book,” The Quantum Bigfoot.” Ron now resides with his partner, Keri, in North Carolina, but has traveled from Alaska to Patagonia and from North America to Siberia in search of the truth to how these beings are able to stay so hidden from Classical science. Besides being the keynote Speaker at many conventions, he has been featured on countless radio programs and TV documentaries such as the Learning Channel and Travel Channel.

The content we have discussed has come from education and research; Scriptural foundations; and even more, from the 1000s of individuals and couples whom I have worked with in a therapeutic setting.   Relationships are a matter of the heart, as much and more than they are an experience of the brain: A woman experiences herself as chosen through the security the man creates for her by being a Redeemer, Protector, and Provider, in that order. She can offer her dependency to the man in an authentic way if he brings these qualities. A man experiences himself as appreciated because he has brought his whole heart to the relationship, allowing vulnerability, availability, and gentleness to lead the internal life of the relationship.  In this way, the foundational needs of belonging and mattering are met through relationship.   The connected couple can build on the foundation of security and appreciation.    This couple will experience the future together, come what may, because their connection and commitment are based in the “pain tolerance” of the heart, not the “pain intolerance” of the brain. The brain seeks pleasure; the heart tolerates the pain of love.   Super Practical “Response-Abilities” After creating a foundation for understanding the emotional and spiritual needs of the relationship, the following reality needs to be grasped: A man's primary job is “customer service”! A man is created to serve others, especially his family.    A man serves best when he does the following three actions consistently: TCB: A man needs to “take care of business.” He needs to pay the bills before the frills. He needs to attend to the place they live, and oversee the management of property and vocation. Stay on Mission: A man needs to stay focused on whatever calling, role, or position he has been assigned to fulfill. In this way, he reinforces his own self-respect and shows himself to be dependable and trustworthy. Do Not Overly Need a Woman: A man does not need to overly need a woman. He must not pressure his spouse to be his constant emotional support. He knows he needs to get his needs met from peers who have the same experiences that all true men risk experiencing. He knows what the woman cannot do for him.   Click here to continue reading the episode highlights.

After we yield to the ways of love, we still need to learn them.   So much that we miss in life has to do with our hearts not being available to be “touched”: We are often not present enough in heart to be receptive to change or admit need for change.  The vulnerability that moves us to yield to help is mostly associated with negative rather than positive outcomes.  Jesus, however, clearly supports us yielding our hearts so that we can be a part of a yield or bountiful harvest.  Having the vulnerability to change and grow can create an opportunity for great benefits.    In Matthew 13, Jesus shared the story of the “Parable of the Sower” that speaks to us about the power of yielding or being vulnerable, which produces benefits. All relationships of consequence can benefit greatly from our willingness to face, feel, and deal with our hearts so that we can give and receive the love we need and others need.    Jesus also shared the “Parable of the Sower.” “Then he told them many things in parables, saying: ‘A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. Whoever has ears, let them hear.'” “The disciples came to him and asked, ‘Why do you speak to the people in parables?'”  “He replied, ‘Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. This is why I speak to them in parables:'” Click here to continue reading the episode highlights.

But we cannot live fully unless we do so in relationship with ourselves, others, and God.   * That statement means that we must bring our hearts to daily relational life and involve ourselves emotionally and spiritually with others.    Many of us have not learned or have refused to allow ourselves to be vulnerable with how we are created. We tend to “run” from how we are created as feeling, needing, desiring, longing, and hoping people.    Surrender is Good To live fully we have to admit that we are powerless over how we are created. We do not need to run from ourselves; instead, we need to surrender to how God made us.    Surrender actually means to “render over,” as in give something back.    The goodness of surrender is that it returns us to how we are created. It also returns us to needing others and God, who created us to find fulfillment in relationship.    Surrender paradoxically allows us to reclaim our “anger” for life as we face that we are desiring, longing, hoping, wishing, wanting, yearning, hungering and thirsting people. Read my book, The Voice of the Heart and listen to Episodes #19 - Episode #20.   For a woman, to surrender is to know that she hungers to belong and matter through experiencing herself as secure.   For a man, to surrender is to know that he hungers to belong and matter through experiencing himself as appreciated.   Being Chosen A woman's security requires that she experience herself as chosen, as discussed in Episode 65.  She is not chosen on the basis of her appearance only, but on the content of her heart and character. She is chosen for “her.” She is chosen for how God made her. If a woman experiences herself as truly chosen by a man she desires to be with, she will have a strong tendency to appreciate the man who has chosen her.    Security leads a woman to be Appreciative.   Men Must Be Man Enough to Create Security If a woman experiences the relationship as a secure place to bring her vulnerabilities, joys, desires, needs, and struggles, she will experience “heart security;” she will have the experience of being chosen consistently reinforced.   Click here to continue reading the episode highlights.

A woman's need to belong and matter is primarily met through security. A man's need to belong and matter is primarily met through appreciation.   A Woman Needs to Feel Secure in order to Appreciate a Man While each person is equally responsible, the man's initiation of security is crucial to create a healthy relationship. For the man to experience appreciation, the woman must first experience security.   Feeling Chosen Creates Security in a Woman The woman's primary security need is met through knowing, feeling, and having faith in experiencing herself as chosen. She is chosen above all other women.  She has confidence in knowing it, feeling it, and having faith in the future related to it.  To be chosen is to know that she has: A Redeemer: a man who can relate to her, grasp her needs, desire the full expression of how God created her, and treat her with gentleness, availability, and vulnerability. Episode #64   A Protector: a man who can create a place of safety and stability that is based on her trust in his integrity, allowing her to focus on being able to love without fear or demand.  A Provider: a man who can provide for her the necessities that quell the fear of her essential needs not being attended to.   This order is very important: It establishes a foundation of what a woman needs most.   It expresses a man's trustworthiness, his capability of relational intimacy, and his integrity. He is known as one who “says what he means and means what he says,” with an inner-focus on bringing his best to who he loves. He has a sense of his own dignity and self-respect.   This description is not about perfection; it is about growth and focus for a man. He cannot be more than perfectly imperfect. He can, though, live inspired to be the man God created him to be, by remaining dependent on God, and by relying on “growth-aid” from other men.    Click here to continue reading the episode highlights.
