Tesiah “Tess” Frame is a Latter-day Saint digital content creator, author, and podcaster based in Southern California. Focusing on motherhood, practical scripture study, and active discipleship, she aims to bring optimism, authenticity, and joy to the online conversation surrounding Latter-day Saint women. Alongside Becky Squire, she co-hosts the Certain Women Podcast, a Come, Follow Me scripture study program specifically geared toward women, and is the co-owner of the children’s faith brand Happy Sacrament. Outside of her media work, Tessis a mother of three boys and a resilient survivor of a highly traumatic medical crisis during late pregnancy, during which she was placed in a temporary medical coma to safely deliver her youngest son. Utilizing her platforms and personal experiences, she actively encourages Church members to lean into personal initiative, love the gospel, and fearlessly minister on a local scale. Links TesiahFrame.com Certain Women Podcast @certainwomenpodcast HappySacrament.com Instagram @tesiahframe Watch the video and share your thoughts in the Zion Lab community Transcript available with the video in the Zion Lab community Highlights Tess Frame talks about the female experience in the Church and the proactive role of covenant discipleship. The conversation centers on navigating local leadership dynamics, finding purpose outside of official callings, and historical and scriptural frameworks for the Relief Society. 00:04:08 – Tess Frame’s Journey and Unique Birth Experience 00:07:00 – Finding Purpose and Taking Initiative in the Church 00:10:01 – The Libertarian Approach to Church Programs 00:12:34 – Women's Experience in Church Leadership 00:14:18 – Advice for Relief Society Leaders 00:16:33 – Empowering Women Beyond Official Roles 00:17:30 – Lessons from Women in the Scriptures 00:19:07 – Studying Women in the Scriptures 00:25:25 – Continuity Among Women in the Scriptures 00:27:56 – The Role of Women in the Relief Society 00:30:01 – Navigating Social Media as a Woman 00:35:46 – Understanding the Addictive Nature of Social Media 00:39:42 – The Historical Context of the Relief Society 00:44:29 – The Essential Role of Women in God's Kingdom Key Insights Proactive Discipleship: Members should not wait for system-wide institutional changes or official permissions to address local ward needs; recognizing a need is often a spiritual prompting to act. Avoiding Local Hierarchies: Over-regulation by local leadership can accidentally create organizational barriers that prevent auxiliary leaders from fully acting within their stewardships. The Spirit of Relief Society: The true, foundational purpose of the Relief Society is providing local, practical relief and ministering rather than just organizing social activities. Scriptural Continuity: Studying scriptural women—such as Ruth, Rahab, Sarah, and Hannah—reveals flawed but profoundly faithful individuals whose inter-generational commitments parallel modern sisterhood. Mindful Social Media Use: Platforms use algorithms designed to trigger primitive emotional responses like anger and comparison; creators and consumers must intentionally cultivate self-awareness to remain peacemakers online. Supporting Male Experiences: Ward groups must also remain attentive to the emotional, mental health, and connection needs of men, as structural shifts and heavy callings can leave them feeling disconnected. Leadership Applications Encourage Autonomous Ministering: Bishops can empower Relief Society presidencies by explicitly clarifying which matters require priesthood approval and which allow them to act independently to provide immediate community relief. Foster Local Adjustments: Ward leaders can prioritize home-centered gatherings or small-group rotations to break down ward cliques without requiring formal budgets or institutional approval.

Israel-Palestine Conflict: More Complicated Than You Think (Robert Nicholson) Ep. #260

The Biblical Mind

The Israel-Palestine conflict is one of the world's most complex and emotionally charged issues—but how should Christians think about it with both historical honesty and theological humility?In this episode of The Biblical Mind Podcast, Dru Johnson welcomes Robert Nicholson for a thoughtful response to a previous conversation about Being Christian After the Desolation of Gaza. Together, they explore competing historical narratives surrounding Israel, Palestine, Zionism, Hamas, the Oslo peace process, and the lasting impact of October 7. Rather than reducing the conflict to political slogans, they examine the fears, aspirations, and failures on both sides while asking what responsible Christian engagement should look like.The conversation addresses difficult questions about Palestinian leadership, Israeli security concerns, Christian perspectives on nationalism, colonialism, and violence, as well as the role of Palestinian Christians within a predominantly Jewish-Muslim conflict. Throughout, Robert argues that genuine understanding requires careful attention to history, humility in theological judgment, and a commitment to seeking peace without ignoring reality.Whether you're wrestling with Christian ethics, biblical theology, Middle East history, or contemporary geopolitics, this episode offers a nuanced framework for thinking beyond headlines and ideological caricatures toward wisdom, empathy, and faithful discipleship.Listen to the episode Robert is responding to: Click HereContact us at The Biblical Mind: Click HereWe are listener supported.

Most people assume ice swimming is just for the crazy or extreme athletes — but what if it's really a gateway to resilience, mental clarity, and community? In this episode, journalist and ice swimming champion Chris Ballard reveals how daring to step into freezing water can transform your mind, body, and life. Whether you're skeptical or curious, Chris shares mind-blowing stories of how cold water exposure can push you past perceived limits and build unshakeable confidence. From the early days of cold showers to competing in the UK's elite ice swimming events and even becoming a national champion — Chris demystifies the science and psychology behind this ancient practice. You'll discover: the surprisingly simple ways to get started with cold plunges, how mental toughness overrides fear, and the powerful benefits that extend far beyond the water. He breaks down the core principles that help seasoned swimmers keep pushing, and reveals how this challenging ritual is a 'quick fix' for mental health, emotional regulation, and resilience—especially for those facing trauma or life's hardships. This isn't just about cold water — it's about how you can use the cold to unlock a more resilient, focused, and connected version of yourself. If you've ever wondered what it takes to turn discomfort into a catalyst for growth, or if you're searching for a community that's as committed as you are to doing the hard things, listen now. Perfect for anyone curious about the transformative power of cold water, or eager to break free from comfort zones—this episode may just redefine what's possible for you. Chris Ballard is a renowned journalist, author of The Plunge, and a competitive ice swimmer who's shattered stereotypes and myths along his journey. His insights into endurance, community, and mental health offer invaluable lessons for both beginners and seasoned athletes alike. Get ready to shiver, learn, and be inspired to dive into your own personal plunge. The cold isn't the challenge — it's the doorway to a stronger, calmer, and more fearless you. 00:00 The Journey into Cold Water Swimming 09:34 The Historical Context of Cold Water Swimming 15:03 Community and Mental Health Benefits of Cold Water Swimming 20:29 Personal Reflections and Future of Cold Water Swimming 20:37 Cold Water Therapy and Its Benefits 23:41 Getting Started with Cold Exposure 27:21 The Challenge of Open Water Swimming 28:39 Swimming Technique and Injury Prevention 34:54 The Journey of Writing and Swimming

Lemongrove Oil: https://www.lemongroveoil.com/ Episode Description In this episode of Conversations with a Chiropractor, Dr. Stephanie Wautier sits down with Aleksandra Ceho, a master of astrology, martial arts, tarot, and Hermetic philosophy. Aleksandra's work helps entrepreneurs, executives, athletes, and high-performing individuals better understand themselves, their timing, and the cycles that may be influencing their personal and professional lives. Rather than presenting astrology as a fixed prediction of fate, she describes it as a tool for self-knowledge, growth, strategy, and free will. Stephanie and Aleksandra talk about how astrology first entered Aleksandra's life through her grandfather's books, how her early career in healthcare opened her eyes to the emotional and spiritual struggles behind physical pain, and why she eventually moved into deeper healing and astrological work. This conversation explores natal charts, planetary archetypes, personal cycles, solar returns, free will, timing, resilience, entrepreneurship, and the difference between popular zodiac stereotypes and the more serious intellectual history of astrology. Aleksandra also shares why astrology was once used by royalty, leaders, and educated advisors, and how modern marketing and pop culture changed the way many people think about it today. At its heart, this episode is about knowing yourself more fully. It is a conversation about gifts, challenges, timing, personal responsibility, and the parts of ourselves that may be waiting to be developed. This episode is meant to inspire reflection and curiosity. It is not medical, psychological, financial, or business advice. Use this conversation as a starting point for self-exploration, personal growth, and deeper questions about who you are and what you are here to bring into the world. In This Episode, Discover How Aleksandra Ceho first discovered astrology as a child Why astrology, mythology, and ancient stories felt meaningful to her from a young age How her background in health, rehabilitation, and patient care shaped her path Why physical pain often carries emotional and spiritual weight What an astrologer actually does How astrology can help people know themselves more deeply Why astrology is not simply about zodiac signs or stereotypes What a natal chart is and why birth date, time, and location matter How planetary archetypes can represent different parts of human nature Why free will matters in astrology How entrepreneurs and executives can use timing and cycles more strategically What it means to work with a "propitious" moment Why self-help needs to be personal, not one-size-fits-all The historical role of astrologers among leaders, royalty, and educated advisors How the New Age movement and marketing changed public perception of astrology Why Aleksandra believes knowing yourself can help you perform better The importance of resilience, spiritual strength, and letting more of your light come forward Stay Connected & Explore Learn More About Aleksandra Ceho: Astrologer Royale: https://astrologerroyale.com/ Free eBook, Star Powered Resilience: Available through Aleksandra's website: https://astrologerroyale.com/ Episode Sponsor: Lemongrove Oil: https://www.lemongroveoil.com/ Use coupon code DRSTEPHANIE at checkout for 10% off your next order.

A lot of investors have written off bonds after 2022. In this episode, Paddy Delaney explains why that conclusion is based on a misreading of how bonds work — and what the historical data actually shows. The 10-year US Treasury yield went from under 6% to over 11% during the 1970s. Bonds still returned 5.4% per year. The worst single year was a loss of less than 1%. If bonds survived that rate environment, what does it mean for the environment we are in today? In this episode: - How bond returns are calculated (starting yield and duration) - Why rising interest rates improve your future bond returns, not reduce them - What the 1970s data shows, using Damodaran historical records - What this means practically for anyone with bonds in an ARF or occupational pension - A short note on lifestyling: being moved into bonds automatically is very different from choosing to hold them This episode is relevant if you are approaching retirement, already in retirement, or reviewing an ARF or pension that includes a bond allocation.

S10 E3—The return of the R-word is about more than language. The words we choose both reflect and shape our moral imagination. When disability becomes an insult or a political weapon, it influences how we understand human worth, vulnerability, and belonging. In this conversation, Christina Cipriano, PhD, joins Amy Julia Becker to explore her research on political language and disability, including the return of the R-word. They discuss what these patterns reveal about the systems shaping care, education, and belonging, and they consider: how can we resist dehumanizing language and  choose words that move us toward justice and joy?00:00 Introduction to Disability Discourse Matters06:53 Asset-Based vs. Deficit-Based Perspectives10:27 Personal Narratives and Language Choices19:49 The Rise, Fall, and Rise of the R Word23:42 Dehumanization in Political Rhetoric28:47 Historical Context of Disability Discourse33:00 Disability Language and Future Generations40:48 Reimagining Disability and the Good LifeMENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Disability Discourse MattersThe Education Collaboratory at Yale | Child Study CenterSpread the Word – Special OlympicsMontclair University: Use of the Slur [r-word] Triples on X After Elon Musk Shares the Word in a PostBe Unapologetically Impatient by Christina CiprianoEuphemism Treadmill article_SUBSCRIBE to Amy Julia's Substack: amyjuliabecker.substack.comWATCH this conversation on YouTube: Amy Julia Becker on YouTubeJOIN the conversation on Instagram: @amyjuliabeckerLISTEN to more episodes: amyjuliabecker.com/shows/_ABOUT OUR GUEST:Christina Cipriano, PhD, is currently an associate professor of applied developmental and educational psychology at the Yale Child Study Center in the Yale School of Medicine and Director of the Education Collaboratory.

Western civilization did not invent slavery — it ended it. Western civilization didn't harm countries through colonialism, it helped them. These are hard truths to swallow but they are true. So, why do so many people hate civilization? Let's define civilization, shall we? Let's look at the chief characteristics that a civilization must possess. We shall list them in this episode. Why are Israel and America singled out for hatred and not Sweden, France, and Germany? Why Reform Judaism is more socially acceptable. Any thug, either urban or international, is advantaged by willingness to use violence. In a robust civilized landscape, thugs lose their advantage — naturally, they hate civilization.

While the podcast team is taking a Radical Sabbatical, Kim is interviewing authors of the books that have had a big impact on her in the past two years. In this episode she's speaking with Eric Ries about his new book, Incorruptible, Why Good Companies Go Bad... and How Great Companies Stay Great.   All too often, founders start a company and hire an incredible team dedicated to building a company that will solve an important problem and leave the world better off.  Then they get a taste of success and life is good.  But all too often, the bankers and lawyers swoop in and the demands to “maximize shareholder value” set in.  More often than not, the company succumbs to the gravitational pull of mediocrity–or worse.  Compromises are made, rationalizations abound, and after a while people start to wonder “how did this happen?!”   Eric has thought deeply about how to structure companies so that they can remain true to their purpose and achieve great financial results.  In his interview with Kim, he shares his extensive research on companies, both contemporary and some many decades old, who have been able to make this work.   Background on Eric Ries: Over the last two decades, Eric Ries's ideas about continuous innovation, long-term thinking, governance, and market reform have reshaped company building and management practices. He is the creator of the Lean Startup method and the author of the New York Times bestseller The Lean Startup, The Leader's Guide, and The Startup Way. As a founder, Eric has put his own ideas into practice with the Long-Term Stock Exchange (LTSE); Answer.AI, an AI R&D lab; Virgil, a legal services startup; and IMVU. On The Eric Ries Show, he talks with world-class technologists, thought leaders, and executives building for the long-term. He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with his wife and three children.  His new book, Incorruptible, will be released in May of 2026.   CHAPTERS (00:00) Introduction to Eric Ries and His Work (01:31) The Motivation Behind 'Incorruptible' (04:28) The Dark Side of Business Practices (05:08) The Haunting Story of Vectura and Philip Morris (12:58) The Consequences of Corporate Governance (15:20) The Historical Context of Corporate Purpose (18:37) The Evolution of Corporate Purpose (22:07) The Impact of Purpose-Driven Companies (25:33) Understanding Financial Gravity (30:55) The Unconscious Forces in Corporations (34:43) Resisting the Pull of Mediocrity (39:14) Navigating Power Dynamics in Organizations (40:04) The Naivety of Value Creation (41:05) The Dilemma of Founder Control (42:34) Building Institutional Protections (43:36) Costco's Governance Fortress (45:57) The Cost of Governance Ratings (47:58) The Challenge of Public Companies (51:08) Taking Action for Ethical Leadership Connect with the Radical Candor team: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Hank Unplugged: Essential Christian Conversations
Was the Iran War Prophesied in the Bible?

Hank Unplugged: Essential Christian Conversations

Hank Hanegraaff addresses the popular claim that the present conflict in Iran is a direct fulfillment—or foreshadowing—of biblical prophecy. Some modern prophecy pundits suggest that current events point to an “Ezekiel 37 (or 38) scenario,” involving a future alliance between Iran and Russia against Israel.Hank challenges these interpretations by emphasizing the importance of historical and biblical context. He examines Matthew 24, arguing that commonly cited “rapture” passages are misunderstood when removed from their immediate setting—particularly Jesus' reference to judgment in the days of Noah and His prophecy concerning the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70.Turning to the book of Ezekiel, Hank observes that the prophet lived within the sixth-century BC Babylonian exile, highlighting that Ezekiel's message was directed toward the restoration of Israel following the destruction of Jerusalem and its temple. He warns against projecting these prophecies into the twenty-first century, including speculative claims linking “Rosh” with modern Russia.Throughout the episode, Hank underscores key principles of sound biblical interpretation: the necessity of historical context, the role of typology, and the unity of Scripture. He argues that the Old Testament finds its fulfillment in Christ and that the true temple is not a future structure in Jerusalem, but the living reality of Christ and His Church.Rejecting sensational end-time speculation, Hank affirms the central Christian hope: the return of Christ, the resurrection of the dead, resolution of the problem of sin and Satan, and the renewal of all creation. He concludes by pointing to the vision of the new heaven and new earth in Revelation—a future grounded not in geopolitical prediction, but in the promises of God.(Timestamps below.)0:10 Is the Iran War Biblical Prophecy? — Framing the issue1:10 The “Ezekiel 38 Scenario” Explained — Iran, Russia, and modern prophecy claims2:00 Matthew 24 in Context — “One taken, one left” and the days of Noah—taken in judgment, not rapture4:35 Much Modern Prophecy Speculation Misrepresents the Entire Olivet Discourse4:55 “This Generation” and AD 70 — Jesus' prophecy about Jerusalem's destruction8:15 Why This Matters Now — Influence of Christian leaders on politics and public opinion9:25 Ezekiel in Historical Context — Babylonian exile and 6th-century BC setting13:00 Ezekiel Yearns for the Rebuilding of the Jerusalem Temple within His Near Future.14:15 Not About the 21st Century — Ezekiel isn't predicting modern geopolitics15:00 The Jerusalem Temple Pointed to Jesus—the True Temple15:50 Must Interpret Ezekiel in Light of the New Testament's Teaching18:10 Historical Context of Old Testament Prophecy—renders modern prophecy speculations null and void19:55 “Rosh” is NOT Russia — Critique of a popular prophetic assumption23:30 Significance of Scriptural Synergy24:45 The Lord Jesus Will Return Bodily—to resurrect the dead and resolve the problem of sin and Satan26:40 New Heaven and New Earth28:10 Christ's Resurrection Is Our Guarantee of the New Heaven and New EarthFor further study, see The Apocalypse Code: What the Bible Really Teaches about the End Times and Why It Matters Today https://www.equip.org/product/cri-resources-the-apocalypse-code-find-out-what-the-bible-really-says-about-the-end-times-and-why-it-matters-today-ea0426/See also the many articles on biblical prophecy and eschatology at www.equip.org, including:“Apocalypse When?
