In this episode of Scripture Untangled, Joanna la Fleur sits down with three Canadian young adults, Mikayla Nembhard, Quinten Shannon and Juanita Castro, for an honest conversation about faith, doubt and the questions young people are asking about the Bible. They also take us behind the scenes of creating God's Book: The Series by Andrew Ollerton. What if questioning the Bible isn't a sign that you're losing your faith, but an invitation to go deeper? In this episode, you'll hear from the three hosts of God's Book: The Series: Introduction to Mikayla Nembhard, Quinten Shannon and Juanita Castro and God's Book: The Series. Quinten shares how COVID, apologetics and studying the Bible turned inherited Christianity into a personal faith. Mikayla opens up about questioning her childhood faith and discovering that God wasn't afraid of her doubts. Juanita shares her journey from Colombia to Canada, wrestling with faith and discovering Christian community. Whether you're a lifelong Christian, a new believer, or simply curious about the Bible, this conversation is an invitation to bring your questions, wrestle honestly and discover that God is not afraid of your doubts. Read the transcript: biblesociety.ca/transcript-scripture-untangled-s14-ep4 =====Juanita Castro is a Colombian-born creative based in Toronto.

Have you ever needed to have a hard conversation with your husband but found yourself overthinking how to even bring it up? Maybe you're afraid you'll hurt his feelings, make him defensive, start an argument, or create tension in your marriage so instead, you stay quiet, hold it in, or try to handle it yourself. In this episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, I'm talking with marriage and life coach Cara Nitz about the deeper roots of communication and what it looks like to have honest, healthy conversations in marriage. Cara shares her own marriage experience and the work she and her husband, Adam, have done together, offering practical insight for women who want to communicate more openly without falling into old patterns of people-pleasing, overfunctioning, avoiding conflict, or taking responsibility for someone else's emotions. One of the biggest mindset shifts in our conversation is this: you are not responsible for another person's feelings. That truth can be incredibly freeing when you've spent years managing other people's emotions, walking on eggshells, or believing that keeping the peace means keeping your own thoughts and needs to yourself. And while we talk a lot about communication in marriage, these principles can transform the way you communicate in any relationship, with friends, family, coworkers, and the people you love most. In this episode, we talk about: How to start a difficult conversation with your husband • The connection between people-pleasing and communication • How overfunctioning can show up in relationships • Why you are not responsible for another person's feelings • What healthy, honest communication can look like • What Cara has learned through her own marriage journey If you've ever thought, “I don't know how to say this without hurting his feelings,” this conversation is for you. You don't have to choose between being honest and being loving. There is a healthier way to communicate and it starts by getting to the root of what's happening within you.

Spiritual gifts aren't just abilities God gives us—they are ways the Holy Spirit works through us to build up the Church, bless others, and advance the mission of Jesus.This week we have an honest conversation about spiritual gifts, limitations, and tension.

Kelley is the mom of two kids, one with autism. When not podcasting, Kelley is the marketing director of Brain Performance Technologies, a clinic that provides brain stimulation treatment for people ages 3 and up with diagnoses including autism spectrum disorder.She is an autism advocate, podcast host, mother and veteran advocate whose journey began with her own son. After her 22-year-old autistic son developed severe anxiety, OCD, depression and compulsive behaviours, Kelly began relentlessly investigating options beyond the medications he was already taking. That search led her to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and, specifically, EEG-guided MeRT treatment. What followed were changes she could see in everyday life—from reduced compulsions and better sleep to eating foods he previously refused, abandoning long-standing routines and eventually having his first meaningful conversation with a neighbour. Those experiences ultimately changed Kelly's mission from simply helping her own son to helping other families and veterans access brain-health solutions.In this conversation, Kelley explains the history behind her podcast Refrigerator Moms, a name reclaiming the cruel “refrigerator mother” theory once used to blame mothers for their children's autism. We discuss autism diagnosis, changing diagnostic criteria, misinformation, the importance of parents investigating the evidence for themselves, and why Kelly believes there is unlikely to be one simple cause or one magic treatment for autism. We move into veteran brain health, PTSD, traumatic brain injury, depression, sleep disruption and the transition from military service back to civilian life. Kelly explains how TMS works, what EEG-guided treatment involves, why sleep can be such a critical first step in recovery, and why she believes brain stimulation should be considered alongside—not necessarily instead of—medication, therapy and the work required to rebuild your life.Today, Kelley is the driving force behind Brain Performance Technologies, helping expand access to TMS and other neuromodulation treatments while advocating particularly for veterans, active-duty military personnel and families affected by autism. Her message is ultimately about looking beyond the obvious answer, understanding the connection between biology and psychology, and giving people more tools when conventional approaches haven't been enough. This is a fascinating conversation about autism, the brain, veterans, mental health, sleep, treatment and one mother's determination to find a better path for her son—and then make that path available to others.

Send us Fan Mail In Episode 10 of Gospel Unfiltered, host Cornell Bunting sits down with Dee Dee Smith for a powerful conversation centered on the biblical story of Esther and what it teaches us about courage, identity, preparation, influence, and purpose.Esther's story is more than the story of a woman who became queen. It is the story of someone who was positioned in a place of influence before she fully understood why she was there.Together, Cornell and Dee Dee explore Esther's journey from loss and hidden identity to courage, advocacy, and action. The conversation examines what it means to recognize when God has prepared you for a specific moment and how faith, wisdom, prayer, timing, and courage all work together when purpose requires something from us.This episode also explores:How adversity can shape strength and resilienceThe difference between favor and responsibilityWhy timing matters in difficult conversationsHow courage can exist even when fear is presentThe importance of prayer and spiritual preparationWhat it means to use influence to help othersWhy silence can sometimes become a decisionHow personal testimony can become a tool for advocacyThe responsibility leaders have to speak for those without accessWhat it means to be positioned “for such a time as this”At the heart of the episode is Esther 4:14:“And who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”This conversation is for anyone who feels overlooked, uncertain about their purpose, afraid to step forward, or positioned somewhere they do not yet understand.Sometimes purpose is not revealed when the door first opens.Sometimes you understand why you were placed there only when the moment arrives that requires your voice, courage, and faith.Join us as we go Beyond the Pulpit for honest conversations, real stories, and Kingdom truth. Welcome to the show If you believe in this mission and would like to support the podcast, become a sponsor, explore a partnership, or make a contribution, please visit: www.ehasinc.org Your support can help us continue telling stories that matter and turning conversations into real impact.

Send us Fan Mail In Episode 9 of Gospel Unfiltered, host Cornell Bunting sits down with Antonio Dominguez for a powerful conversation centered on the life of Joseph and the journey that took him from betrayal and imprisonment to standing before Pharaoh. Joseph's story is one of the clearest biblical examples of how purpose can survive betrayal, false accusation, delay, disappointment, and seasons of being overlooked. This episode explores Joseph's journey from his early dreams to being rejected by his brothers, sold into slavery, tested in Potiphar's house, falsely accused, forgotten in prison, and finally called before Pharaoh to interpret the dream that would change the course of his life. Together, Cornell and Antonio discuss:  What happens when the promise feels real but the process feels painful  How betrayal can affect identity and purpose  The importance of integrity when no one is watching  Why doing the right thing does not always produce immediate rewards  How to remain faithful during seasons of delay  What it means to use your gifts before recognition comes  The difference between being forgotten by people and forgotten by God  How adversity can prepare someone for leadership  Why spiritual maturity matters when opportunity finally arrives  How Joseph moved from simply having a dream to becoming a problem solver and strategist A key moment in Joseph's story comes in Genesis 41:16, when he tells Pharaoh: “It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.” That moment reveals how much Joseph had matured. The dream remained, but the dreamer had changed. This episode is for anyone who feels betrayed, overlooked, delayed, falsely judged, or stuck in a season where their purpose seems far away. Sometimes the promotion looks sudden, but the preparation rarely is.

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Gospel Unfiltered, host Cornell Bunting sits down with David N. Thompson, man of God and author of Who in the Hell Do I Think I Am, for a powerful conversation about identity, calling, fear, failure, obedience, and purpose through the life of Moses. Moses' story is one of the most relatable journeys in Scripture. He was born into danger, raised between two worlds, made serious mistakes, ran from his past, questioned his ability, and repeatedly asked God why he should be the one chosen for the assignment. At the burning bush, Moses asked a question many of us have asked in one form or another: “Who am I?” This episode explores what happens when our past, insecurity, fear, or failure begins to speak louder than God's calling. Cornell and David discuss:  Moses' struggle with identity  The meaning of the wilderness season  Why failure does not automatically cancel purpose  Moses' excuses and fear of inadequacy  The importance of obedience even when you feel unqualified  Confronting the “Pharaohs” in our lives  Deliverance, transformation, and renewing the mind  Leadership, accountability, and the danger of carrying too much  The importance of mentorship and preparing the next generation  How faith helps us answer the question: Who am I really?The conversation also connects deeply with David N. Thompson's book, Who in the Hell Do I Think I Am, and the ongoing struggle many people face in trying to understand who they are beyond their mistakes, labels, trauma, or past. This episode is for anyone who has ever felt overlooked, ashamed, afraid, unqualified, stuck in a wilderness season, or uncertain about their purpose. Sometimes God does not answer our insecurity by telling us how strong we are. Sometimes He answers by reminding us: “I will be with you.” Join us as we go Beyond the Pulpit for honest conversations, real stories, and Kingdom truth. Guest: David N.

Send us Fan MailWhy do honest conversations matter? And can sharing our struggles actually help lead one another toward holiness?In this episode of the Gotta Be Saints Podcast, I sit down with Rob Kaczmark, founder of Spirit Juice Studios and host of the new podcast Flicker & Burn.Rob has spent nearly two decades using film and media to share the Catholic faith, but this conversation goes well beyond his latest project. We talk about why people need meaningful conversations, the danger of pretending everything is okay, and the role that suffering, friendship, vulnerability, and storytelling can play in bringing us closer to Christ.Rob also shares how some of the most honest conversations of his life have happened in an unexpected place: the tattoo chair. Those experiences helped inspire Flicker & Burn, a show built around real conversations with people from very different backgrounds about suffering, hope, conversion, loss, and what ultimately sustains us.We also talk about why suffering can open the door to deeper relationships, what Father Stu teaches us about carrying our crosses, why Catholics need to take digital evangelization seriously, and how God patiently works on each of us, even when our path to Him isn't clean or straightforward.A podcast can never replace authentic friendship or Christian community. But a good conversation can remind someone that they aren't alone, challenge the way they see their circumstances, and perhaps even help them take another step toward Christ.In this episode:• Why honest conversations are essential to the Christian life• Rob's story and the mission behind Spirit Juice• The unexpected conversations that inspired Flicker & Burn• Why Rob intentionally talks with people from different backgrounds and levels of faith• Isolation, friendship, and our need to be known by others• Why we shouldn't pretend everything is okay when it isn't• What suffering has taught Rob personally• How suffering can allow us to accompany others more deeply• Father Stu and the Christian understanding of suffering• Why everyone's journey toward God looks different• The future of Catholic media and evangelization on YouTube• Rob's favorite tattoo and how it has opened conversations about JesusResources mentioned:Flicker & BurnListen to Rob's new podcast and find episodes on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts:https://www.spiritjuice.org/flickerandburn/Spirit JuiceLearn more about Spirit Juice Entertainment Group and its Catholic media projects:https://www.spiritjuice.org/Support Flicker & Burn / Spirit Juice EntertainmentFlicker & Burn and Spirit Juice's other original Catholic content are made available for free through the support of donors:https://www.spiritjuice.org/flickerandburn/Juice BoxSpirit Juice's Catholic YouTube content for children and families:https://www.spiritjuice.org/donate/juicebox/About Flicker & BurnHosted by Rob Kaczmark, Flicker & Burn explores the everyday struggle between life and faith through long-form conversations about doubt, hope, loss, redemption, conversion, suffering, and the search for meaning.As Rob explains in our conversation, the guests don't all have the same story or even the same relationship with faith. That's part of the point. Whether someone's conversion happens dramatically or unfolds slowly over years, God continues working.If you're looking for conversations that are real, raw, hopeful, and willing to wrestle with life's harder questions, give Flicker & Burn a listen.TruthlyGotta Be Saints is proud to partner with Truthly, a Catholic AI app designed to provide answers grounded in Scripture, the Catechism, and the teachings of the Church.

With one in six American adults now taking an antidepressant, we wanted to ask some big questions: Are we overmedicating? Are we overdiagnosing? When is medication genuinely helpful—and when might what we're feeling simply be an appropriate response to a difficult season of life?We're joined by our dear friend and incredibly talented psychiatrist, Dr. Brady Bradshaw, for a nuanced conversation about modern psychiatry, depression, anxiety, SSRIs, mental health diagnoses, and the role medication can play alongside therapy. We also get into ADHD, OCD, personality disorders, medication side effects, and the important distinctions between postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and postpartum psychosis. If you've ever wondered whether medication might help you—or worried about what taking it means—this episode offers a thoughtful, humanistic perspective.Episode Highlights[0:03] - Are antidepressants being overprescribed? We open up the conversation around modern psychiatry, diagnoses, medication, and mental health.[2:01] - Moving beyond the “chemical imbalance” explanation and looking at the many layers that can contribute to depression and anxiety.[5:14] - Why a good psychiatric evaluation doesn't automatically mean walking away with a prescription.[6:37] - SSRIs for depression and anxiety: why they're still considered a first-line treatment, how long they can take to work, and other medication options.[8:47] - When life itself hurts: how do we distinguish normal emotional pain from symptoms that may benefit from medication?[11:41] - Colette shares her own resistance to psychiatric medication during her divorce—and why a short course ultimately helped her cope, sleep, parent, and function.[14:36] - Medication and therapy together: why reducing symptoms can sometimes make it possible to do deeper therapeutic work.[17:18] - Challenging the idea that you have to be completely falling apart before medication is worth considering.[19:00] - “You can still go touch grass and take Lexapro.” Dr. Bradshaw explains which mental health conditions may particularly benefit from medication.[20:42] - OCD and ADHD: how symptoms can affect daily functioning and relationships—and when medication can be transformative.[22:37] - Personality, temperament, anxiety, and medication: what medication can and can't change.[26:14] - Personality disorders versus mood and anxiety disorders, and why the timeline of symptoms matters in diagnosis.[29:25] - The real value of a thoughtful mental health diagnosis: informing treatment rather than defining your identity.[30:51] - “You're not marrying the medication.” Can you eventually come off psychiatric medication?[32:03] - Withdrawal symptoms, “brain zaps,” and why tapering medication carefully with medical guidance matters.[33:09] - Postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis: what women and their loved ones need to know.[35:12] - Recognizing postpartum psychosis, why it's considered a medical emergency, and what symptoms can look like.[38:24] - Intrusive thoughts versus psychosis: an important distinction in postpartum anxiety and mental health.[40:32] - Why seeking treatment for postpartum depression and anxiety can also support the parent-child attachment bond.[41:56] - Why therapy, medication, and healthy lifestyle choices don't have to be either/or.[43:18] - Where psychiatry can go wrong: polypharmacy, treating medication side effects with more medication, and the importance of reassessing treatment.[45:24] - Why finding a provider who takes the time to understand the whole person can make all the difference.Links & ResourcesDr. Brady Bradshaw, MD: www.bradybradshawmd.comIf today's discussion resonated with you or sparked curiosity, please rate, follow, and share "Insights from the Couch" with others.

Every pastor and leader carries scars. Some are meant to be shared because God can use them to bring healing, hope, and freedom to others. Others are meant to remain private. Not because they don't matter, but because they don't need an audience. In today's episode, John shares a deeply personal moment of looking at his surgical scars and sensing the Lord say, “Not all scars need to be memorialized.” That simple statement leads to a larger conversation about vulnerability, validation, emotional health, and learning to discern which scars should become part of our story—and which ones should simply be filed away.

Send us Fan MailIn this powerful episode of Gospel Unfiltered, host Cornell Bunting takes a deeper look into the life of Abraham and the complicated events that unfolded within his household.Abraham was called by God, given an extraordinary promise, and told that through him nations would be blessed. Yet behind that promise was a family story filled with waiting, impatience, jealousy, rejection, faith, and difficult decisions.Cornell explores the relationships between Abraham, Sarah, Hagar, Ishmael, and Isaac, examining what happened when human beings tried to fulfill God's promise on their own timeline. The episode looks at the birth of Ishmael, the arrival of Isaac, the tension over inheritance and identity, Hagar's experience in the wilderness, and the powerful truth that God continued to see, hear, and care for those who were hurting.The conversation also addresses an important question often raised today: Can the story of Isaac and Ishmael help us understand conflict in the Middle East?Rather than reducing modern events to a simple biblical family dispute, Cornell separates biblical history from modern political history while examining why Abraham, Isaac, Ishmael, covenant, ancestry, and the land remain deeply significant within Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.Most importantly, this episode challenges listeners to consider the consequences of unresolved conflict, rejection, favoritism, generational pain, and inherited resentment.One of the most powerful moments in Abraham's story comes at the end of his life, when Isaac and Ishmael come together to bury their father.Could that moment teach us something about reconciliation?Could people inherit a painful history without inheriting permanent hatred?And could God be calling this generation to become peacemakers in conflicts they did not personally create?This is more than a lesson about Abraham.It is a conversation about faith, family, identity, conflict, healing, and the responsibility we have to break destructive generational cycles.Join Cornell Bunting for Season 1, Episode 7 of Gospel Unfiltered: “Abraham's House: Promise, Conflict, and the Generations That Followed.”Scriptures discussed include: Genesis 12, Genesis 15–17, Genesis 21, Genesis 25, Romans 4, Galatians 3, and Matthew 5:9.Gospel Unfiltered — where difficult conversations meet faith, truth, Scripture, and real life.Welcome to the show If you believe in this mission and would like to support the podcast, become a sponsor, explore a partnership, or make a contribution, please visit: www.ehasinc.org Your support can help us continue telling stories that matter and turning conversations into real impact.

  'ask dorothy' Speak Your Truth How Honest Conversation Can Deepen Intimacy In Your Relationship The WISDOM Podcast with Dorothy Zennuriye Juno   How well can someone truly know us if we aren't allowing ourselves to be fully known? Two people can love one another, build a life together and share decades of experiences — and still hold back parts of themselves. Not necessarily secrets. Sometimes it's a preference. A disappointment. Something you need. Something you want but haven't asked for. Something you've changed your mind about. Something your partner does that bothers you. Something you think or feel but decide is easier not to say. In this episode of The WISDOM Podcast, we explore what it means to speak your truth in an intimate relationship — and why honest conversation can become an invitation into deeper intimacy. Speaking your truth isn't about saying everything that enters your mind or using honesty as permission to be insensitive or cruel. Relational honesty asks for something more: ownership, care and a willingness to let another person know what is true for you. We explore why some of us learn to accommodate rather than speak, how seemingly small moments of withholding can accumulate over time, and why there is an important difference between peace and simply avoiding the truths that might disturb one another. You'll also learn a simple practice for beginning these conversations: giving your truth a preface — helping your partner understand that you're not trying to attack or necessarily asking them to fix something; you're practising allowing yourself to be known. And because intimacy requires both speaking and listening, we turn the question around: Am I someone my partner can be honest with? Can I become curious before I become defensive? Can I hear my partner's preference without interpreting it as rejection? Can I make room for their experience even when it differs from mine? Because the goal isn't always agreement. Perhaps it is something more intimate: Two people willing to know — and to be known.   ✨ In This Episode We explore: What it really means to speak your truth in a relationship Why truth without ownership and care can become hurtful rather than intimate How to use a preface when honest communication is new for you or your relationship Why years of accommodation can quietly hide parts of who we are The difference between relational honesty and indiscriminate honesty What it means to have the courage to become knowable How small truths can become seeds for deeper conversation Why receiving your partner's truth is as important as speaking your own How curiosity can help us listen without immediately becoming defensive Why intimacy doesn't require agreement How two people can continue discovering one another even after decades together  

Acceptance can be one of the hardest things we're asked to practice in marriage.Especially when what we're being asked to accept is something we wish would change.So what does it actually mean to accept your spouse in those moments?It doesn't mean agreeing.It doesn't mean approving.And it certainly doesn't mean making something you don't want the standard for your marriage.In this episode, we're having an honest conversation about a different kind of acceptance: allowing this to be where your spouse is right now—and releasing yourself from the responsibility of making them be somewhere else.Inside this episode, we:Explore the difference between acceptance and settling for something you don't wantTalk about what happens when you stop needing your spouse to think, feel, or behave differently in order for you to be okayExplore how acceptance can help you become clearer about what's yours to work on—and what's theirsDiscuss the unexpected opportunities for your own growth when your spouse isn't showing up the way you wish they wouldLook at how releasing judgment and resistance can create more patience and ease in your relationshipExplore why giving your spouse room to evolve on their own can sometimes create more change than trying to push them thereTalk about how acceptance can actually help you get clearer about what is—and isn't—okay for youAcceptance doesn't require you to abandon your desires for your marriage.Sometimes, it does the opposite.When you stop using all of your energy trying to change where your spouse is, you have more capacity to see clearly, take care of yourself, honor your values, strengthen your own relationship skills, and decide intentionally how you want to move forward.You can look at your spouse and simply acknowledge:This is where you are right now. And I don't have to make it my job to change you.There can be tremendous freedom for both of you on the other side of that.Mentioned in this Episode: My website: DrChavonne.comPrivate coaching for Couples: The Connected MarriagePrivate Coaching for IndividualsThe Well Made Woman Waitlist

What does eating disorder recovery actually feel like when you're the person trying to live it?Not the theory. Not the neat list of recovery steps. Not the version told from the other side once everything has fallen into place.This week on Fly to Freedom – The Anorexia Recovery Podcast, I wanted to do something completely different.I invited six women from within my recovery community to come together and answer questions about eating disorder recovery. Nobody was specially selected, nobody was given the questions beforehand and nobody was asked to tell a particular kind of recovery story.We actually started chatting before I'd officially begun recording, and the conversation was so open and valuable that I decided to leave that in too.These women are different ages, from different backgrounds and at very different stages of recovery. Some have lived with anorexia and eating disorders for decades. Some have tried NHS or private treatment. Some know an enormous amount about eating disorders and yet still struggle to translate that knowledge into action.We talk about feeling not sick enough to deserve support, and the way the eating disorder continually moves the goalposts.We talk about knowing exactly what you need to do and still finding it incredibly difficult to do it. As one woman puts it, recovery can be simple, but not easy.We talk about the shame of struggling as a teacher, therapist, professional, mother or middle-aged woman, and why eating disorders do not discriminate by age, intelligence, profession or life experience.We also talk honestly about recovery communities. What happens if you're having an awful day? Do you need to be positive before you speak? What if you worry about triggering someone or bringing everyone else down? And what happens when somebody challenges something you have believed for years?Then the conversation moves into self-compassion and something I particularly love: discovering who you actually are underneath the eating disorder.One woman discovers that perhaps she doesn't love being constantly busy and productive after all. She likes a slower life, pottering and building Lego.And then there is "holiday Sue".Sue describes a freer, happier version of herself who appeared on holiday – someone who ate what she wanted, worried less about what other people thought and simply enjoyed life.She's beginning to realise that holiday Sue may actually be the real Sue.Perhaps one of the most moving moments comes from a woman who once believed gaining weight would be worse than almost anything she could imagine. Today, she would rather live in a higher-weight body and keep the peace and freedom she has discovered than ever return to the life she had before.She once thought she might be the special unicorn – the person for whom full recovery simply wasn't possible.The unicorn doesn't exist.These aren't six women with everything figured out. There are doubts, fears, frustration, laughter and plenty of swearing.That's precisely why this conversation matters.Sometimes eating disorder recovery is questioning something you've believed for decades. Sometimes it is allowing somebody else to believe in you before you can quite believe in yourself.And sometimes it is discovering that the thoughts and feelings you believed made you different are being experienced by somebody else too.No scripts. No polished recovery stories. Just six women talking openly about what eating disorder recovery really feels like.Julia Trehane: https://juliatrehane.comThe Eating Disorder Recovery Circle: https://edrecoverycircle.com

Dr. Karen Litzy is joined by Dr. Pedro Teixeira, Vice President of AI Engineering at Prompt Health and former co-founder and CEO of Prediction Health, for a practical conversation about how AI fits into healthcare workflows. Pedro breaks down the differences among automation, AI, and agentic systems and explains why the best tools support clinicians rather than replace their judgment. This episode focuses on what clinic owners and clinicians should look for when evaluating AI tools: workflow fit, safety, latency, cost, and whether the system improves over time. If you want a grounded, non-hype conversation about AI in healthcare, this is a useful one. Key topics ·       In this episode, Karen and Pedro compare thoughtful AI vs powerful AI and why workflow fit matters as much as model capability. ·       Pedro explains latency in practical terms, including why perceived delay matters and how feedback like loading states can make AI feel faster. ·       They unpack tokens, model size, and cost, including why input and output usage can change pricing so quickly. ·       Pedro shares how AI can work in the background across notes, codes, compliance checks, and analytics for clinic owners. ·       The conversation covers HIPAA, PHI, encryption, sandboxing, and limited tool access as essential safeguards for healthcare AI. ·       Pedro distinguishes automation, AI, and agentic systems, with examples of when rules are enough and when messy data really does call for AI. ·       They compare predictive vs generative models and explain why generating plausible text is not the same as forecasting a clinical outcome. ·       Karen and Pedro discuss how some clinics are using AI as a decision support tool, while still keeping humans in control of final decisions. ·       Pedro emphasizes that clinic owners should think in terms of systems, including what happens when AI works well and when it fails. ·       He closes with a simple evaluation question for any AI pitch: How does this system get better over time? Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction and why Pedro Teixeira is a grounded voice on AI in healthcare 01:24 - Why thoughtful AI matters more than powerful AI 03:57 - What latency means and why perceived speed changes the user experience 05:16 - How models work with transcripts, prompts, and tokens 07:24 - What tokens are and why AI bills can rise fast 09:13 - The real cost of large models, GPUs, and background processing 11:23 - How AI can quietly support clinic analytics and business coaching 13:13 - Why healthcare AI must stay closed loop and HIPAA safe 15:13 - Automation vs AI vs agentic systems 18:59 - Predictive vs generative models explained for clinic owners 21:45 - When AI can predict patterns from clinician notes and when it cannot 24:03 - How power user clinics are using AI tools in practice 25:56 - Why AI should do what clinicians decide, not decide for them 28:37 - Designing AI around systems, workflows, and failure states 30:22 - Using SOPs and training docs to think through AI implementation 31:57 - How clinic owners should evaluate whether to bring AI into the practice 35:53 - The one question to ask any AI vendor: how does it improve over time? 37:00 - Final takeaways and encouraging clinics to experiment 38:02 - Lightning round: overhyped AI tools in healthcare 39:20 - What clinicians should understand about how AI really works 40:50 - What Pedro would do if he were not building healthcare AI 41:41 - Real world learning, messy data, and why experience matters 42:59 - Pedro's health habits and the AI built tracker on his watch 44:15 - Where to find Pedro and Prompt Health Notable quotes "Thoughtful AI is really taking into account where are people using it, how does it fit into their day to day?" "The best systems are the ones where you are deciding." "How does this system get better?"

Leadership failures rarely happen overnight. More often, they begin with unseen pressures, unresolved pain, and unhealthy patterns that slowly erode a leader from the inside out. In this special compilation episode, we bring together four candid conversations with experienced church leaders who openly share the personal struggles that nearly derailed their ministries. Rather than focusing on leadership strategies or organizational systems, this episode explores the inner life of church leaders. From burnout and unprocessed grief to stress management, character formation, and radical honesty before God, don’t miss the lessons that can help you build healthier, more sustainable ministries. Use these conversations as discussion starters with your teams, asking not simply how the ministry is doing, but how the leaders themselves are doing. Unprocessed Loss Eventually Takes Its Toll Bob Riedy reflects on the burnout that brought his ministry to a halt and the painful realization that decades of accumulated loss had never been properly grieved. The death of a family member, staff transitions, declining attendance after COVID, fractured relationships, and personal shame all compounded over time because he kept pushing forward instead of processing what he had experienced. His story is a powerful reminder that even successful leaders are vulnerable when they ignore the emotional weight of ministry. Key Takeaway // Pastors experience constant loss, but simply “moving on” isn’t resilience. Healthy leaders intentionally process grief with God before it silently grows into burnout, anxiety, or shame. Listen to the Full Episode // Burnout, Breakthrough, and the Road to a Healthier Ministry with Bob Riedy (May 29, 2025) Simple Practices Build Long-Term Resilience Charles Stone shares practical neuroscience-backed habits that help leaders reduce stress and remain emotionally healthy. Rather than offering complicated solutions, he begins with something every leader can practice immediately: intentional breathing. By slowing the body’s stress response through simple breathing exercises, pastors can create space to think clearly, regulate emotions, and respond wisely during difficult seasons. Key Takeaway // Resilience isn’t built during a crisis. It’s developed through consistent daily practices. Simple rhythms like intentional breathing can help pastors lower stress before it becomes overwhelming. Listen to the Full Episode // Leading Through Stress Without Burning Out with Charles Stone (July 3, 2025) Crisis Reveals Character Allen Holmes explains that gifted leaders often reach a defining crossroads when crisis exposes weaknesses beneath their talent and experience. Every leader eventually faces a moment when they must decide whether to hide behind their abilities or allow God to shape their character through hardship. Churches that embrace this perspective create cultures where leaders remain, grow, and mature instead of running from difficult seasons. Key Takeaway // Leadership development isn’t primarily about improving skills. Rather, it’s about allowing God to form character. Crisis often becomes the catalyst that moves leaders toward deeper maturity and lasting influence.

Rather than meeting condemnation, he encountered God’s presence in the middle of his raw honesty. His story illustrates that true healing begins when leaders stop pretending, acknowledge what’s really happening inside, and allow God to meet them in their deepest pain. Key Takeaway // God doesn’t meet the version of us we project to others—He meets the person we truly are. Healing begins when leaders stop hiding and bring their deepest struggles honestly before Him. Listen to the Full Episode // Leading After You Lose Everything: Redemption, Honesty & The Fight with Scott Landry (December 18, 2025) This compilation reminds us that leadership health begins long before visible success or failure. Healthy churches are built by healthy leaders, and healthy leaders cultivate habits that address the condition of their hearts, not just the effectiveness of their ministries. Whether you’re leading through growth, challenge, or personal struggle, these conversations invite you to slow down, examine your inner life, and take intentional steps toward long-term faithfulness in ministry.

Episode Transcript Rich Birch — Hey friends, welcome to the unSeminary Podcast. So glad that you’ve decided to tune in. You know, the subtitle of our podcast is Stuff You Wish They Taught in Seminary. Rich Birch — And today I wish there was like a big underline under that word wish. I wish this conversation was a robust conversation when I was in school. Today we’re listening in on four senior leaders talking about really stuff that was going on on the inside when nobody was watching. Rich Birch — This is a good time of year for you and I as executive leaders to pull back and to think deeply about the kind of structures we’re building as an organization that really create a flourishing environment for our people. You know, we asked earlier in the year what your greatest fears were for this year and 24.8% of you indicated that staff health, structure, morale, succession were your top fear this year. And so today’s conversation, what we’re doing is listening in on four senior pastors who get really honest on the show about what was happening on the inside of them. Rich Birch — One of the churches that I was an executive pastor at, about a decade after I left, the senior leader made tragic decisions in their own personal life that ended up burning the church down, literally to the place where that organization doesn’t exist anymore. And from my understanding, actually the building is going to be demolished. Literally there’s nothing left. Rich Birch — A ministry that impacted tens of thousands of people doesn’t exist today because of the decisions of a senior leader. And so at this time of year, in the summertime, I want to challenge us to listen carefully to some leaders that have been through some horrific moments and have come out the other side more healthy. And I want us to learn from these moments and say, hey, what can we do to structure our ministry so that we can be the healthiest possible environments we can possibly be? Rich Birch — So up first, we’ve got Bob Riedy at Church of the Open Door, who hit a wall on a Sunday morning a few years ago, and he learned about ungrieved losses that took 40 years of ministry to see. So let’s listen in to Bob and see what you and I can learn as we think about the future. [Clip 1 Begins] Bob Riedy — I really do think that loss, and especially not properly processing and grieving loss, was a big part of what was behind all of this. In 2018, I lost my brother, my younger brother, who was really my wingman in so many ways. That was a loss that I think in some ways I’m still wrestling with. Bob Riedy — During the pandemic, we lost, pick a number, a lot of loss as far as attendance and stuff. At first, we were off for about four months, but then when we came back, people began to trickle in, and it was clear to me that we lost hundreds of people as well from our church during that time. That was probably a profound thing for me. Bob Riedy — We lost some key staff members as well during that time. We lost some friends because of the politics and some of the difficulty of that. And so I think loss was a big part of that. Bob Riedy — My counselor has really helped me a lot with that, not properly grieving loss. Terry Wardle is one who said that ministry is a series of ungrieved losses. And I found that I really wasn’t doing that good. I was shaking it off and just moving forward, shaking it off and moving forward, and not really grieving it and bringing God into it and surrendering it to Him. Bob Riedy — And I think part of what happened with that as well was I was concerned about what people thought. We were this powerhouse of a church, growing like crazy, and all of a sudden, like every other church, we were struggling. Bob Riedy — And I remember the day that I burned out. That afternoon my children all came to our apartment. My wife and I were living downtown, and my daughter reminded me of this the other day. And she said, Dad, do you know what you said to me that day? And I said, no. She said, Dad, you said to me, what are people going to think of me that this happened to me? Bob Riedy — And that was a loss that I wasn’t able to really properly wrap my head around. I was more concerned about how this was going to look with me as a Christian leader in our community. And then I think one of the places that the anxiety came from as well was shame. Bob Riedy — One of the things the enemy, I think, came after me with was like, you’ve been telling people here in York how to live for the last 15 years, and you let this happen to you. And wow, I wrestled with that as well. So I think that loss and worrying what people were concerned about or what they were thinking of me, and then the shame of wrestling through that as a senior pastor whose church had been top 100 churches. Bob Riedy — I taught church leadership and biblical preaching at Lancaster Bible College, and this happened to me. And so I really wrestled with just the fallout of all that. [Clip 1 Ends] Rich Birch — What are people going to think? Bob’s daughter quoting him back to him is a part of this thing I just will not shake. Ungrieved loss, it compounds. Rich Birch — Loss is a part of your role. It’s a part of my role. But what Bob learned the hard way is that shaking it off and just kind of moving on will cost you more in the long run than sitting with it and processing it. Rich Birch — Charles Stone is up next. He’s a friend, a pastor, a counselor, and did his PhD on stress while he got diagnosed with three serious conditions in the same year. And we’re going to focus on an easy kind of habit that he has installed or practiced that he has installed that I think you could use in the midst of your processing, of dealing with even those kinds of ungrieved losses. Let’s listen in on what Charles has to say today. [Clip 2 Begins] Charles Stone — Well, I kind of get thematically. One involves how we breathe. These are practices that can help us develop resilience. Charles Stone — One has to do with how we breathe. Two have to deal with our emotions. One has to do with our thinking. One has to do with contemplative practices, spiritual practices. Charles Stone — One has to do with something called certainty. One has to do with gratitude. One has to do with relationships. And one has to do with sleep. So any of those, I’m game for any of those that you feel like we ought to touch on one or two of them. Rich Birch — Well, what about maybe breathing? Why don’t we start right at the top where you started? And then, you know, we’ll scratch the surface. There’s a ton we could, obviously, we want people to pick up a copy of the book, but let me start with breathing. That might be kind of interesting. Charles Stone — Yeah. Well, actually, this ended up being the first one because it’s very easy to do. Now, I think around 75 times plus, you’ll find the word breath or breathe in the scripture. Charles Stone — And Genesis, God breathed into Adam. He became a living being. I think his early part of Acts, Jesus breathed on the early church, the Holy Spirit came. Charles Stone — And then David, the psalmist wrote, let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Now, here is the interesting neuroscience insight. Deep breathing activates a key set of nerves that come directly from my brain, just come from my spinal cord. But these are these are key nerves that they’re in pairs. Charles Stone — One of them is called the vagus nerve, comes from the word vagrant. What does a vagrant do? He wanders around. So this nerve wanders around our hollow organs, our heart, our lungs, our stomach. So there’s a lot of communication back and forth. Charles Stone — Scientists have found that deep breathing, especially on the exhale, when you exhale a little longer, it actually engages this nerve, which lowers the stress response. And here’s here’s why you practice it. I call it the sniff breath. Charles Stone — Now, the actual term is “a psychological sigh”, but here’s how it would work when you’re facing some stress. Just breathe in, you know, a little more and then breathe out through your mouth. Now on the out breath, you want to be a little longer than the in breath, doing that three or four or five times. Charles Stone — Labs all around the country found it lowers the stress response. So that is a simple, a portable tool you can take. Anybody can use anywhere. Charles Stone — So yeah. [Clip 2 Ends] Rich Birch — I love Charles. He’s such a practical leader. Listen, I’d pick one of those practices this week and really try to install it. Rich Birch — I love that he started with breath work because it’s really the easiest one to start with. You can install it today. Literally, he gave you everything you need, but maybe look at the other ones. Pick up his book, “Stress Less”. Got a bunch in there. Rich Birch — Well, coming up next, we’ve got Allen Holmes. He’s been the senior pastor at Definition Church in Greensboro for 25 years. He has watched gifted leaders crash long enough that he’s built a framework around this to understand it. Let’s listen in to what Allen has to bring to this conversation. [Clip 3 Begins] Allen Holmes — It’s interesting when I, one of the other real key moments for me is I went back to do my doctorate of ministry degree at Gordon Conwell in redemptive leadership. And so much of what we were studying is how God works in the crisis, in these pressure moments to expose the unfinished places in our character so that we can grow and become more like Jesus and therefore maximize our kingdom impact in the world. Allen Holmes — And one of my professors, Dr. Powers, he actually wrote a book called Redemptive Leadership. It’s a simple little book, but profound, where he describes leadership development in five stages. And stage one is a skilled leader where you get a leadership role just based on your skill. So maybe the ability to preach. And so they call you to be the pastor. Allen Holmes — That’s how I became the pastor of my first church. I could preach. I hadn’t done anything else, but they let me be a pastor because I could preach. Allen Holmes — And then the second stage is a principal leader where you begin to understand why you do what you do. But the third stage, which is so important, is the character stage. And in order for a leader to go through the character stage, God always uses a crisis to bring him into that stage. But when he comes into that stage, he has a choice. In that stage, he can open his heart and allow God to do that deeper work, or he can go back and hide behind his skills and principle. Allen Holmes — And that’s what pastors do. A lot of times the reason you see this turnover every, you know, depending on what statistic you read, every two to four years, pastors are leaving churches is because they come into a church and they have this honeymoon season. And then all of a sudden there’s a crisis that exposes some things and they start floating their resume and hiding behind their skill rather than allowing God to deal with their character so that they can advance and become a transformative, redemptive leader. Allen Holmes — So I think one of the things that’s been so true for us is we’ve just tried to say to people when there’s a crisis, don’t panic, don’t run away. See it as an opportunity. Allen Holmes — In fact, I ended up doing my dissertation on the idea that if we could teach this model to leaders, that it would cause them to respond differently in the crisis instead of running from it, they would run to it and open their heart. And God could use that to really propel them into their redemptive future. And the research said that was true. Allen Holmes — And so we’ve tried to really work that in our culture to understand when something goes wrong, don’t run away and don’t hide. Let’s run into it and trust God to meet us there so that this thing God works redemptively to use it for your benefit and to launch you into your future. Allen Holmes — And because that’s been our culture, people have stuck around. I mean, my lead team, Rick has been here 25 years. He was he’s actually here two Sundays longer than I’ve been here. Eric’s been here 24 years. Jonathan’s been here 19 years. Chelsea’s been here almost this year will be 14 years. Steve’s been here 10 years. Allen Holmes — I mean, so they’ve just been here a long, long, long time. And that but that’s why they’ve seen these moments and we’ve helped them to find God in it so that it actually works for us instead of against us. [Clip 3 Ends] Rich Birch — Allen walked us through the five stages. The third one he talked about is character. And that’s really where I think you and I, our greatest test is at. And this is where we meet our crisis. You should go back and listen to Allen’s episode. Super helpful. Rich Birch — Coming up next for our last part of the conversation today is a friend of mine, Scott Landry. He’s the senior pastor of The Bridge near Ottawa. He’s been on the podcast before. Rich Birch — Next is a clip from a book that was coming out or that has come out called “The Fight”. And it’s the moment that he lost everything and that he was alone in a house in the Northwest Territory. The reason why I wanted this on is because I think Scott models for you and models for me an open transparency with ourselves, with our people. Rich Birch — That is something that I think you and I should live with our live with and should think through. How can we be this transparent with the people around us? Heads up. This is a heavy clip and it’s worth every second of your attention to lean in and hear what Scott shares. [Clip 4 Begins] Scott Landry — I hope that’s a powerful moment in the book because it was it’s genuinely the most powerful moment in my life. And this was this was kind of at the crescendo of my my breaking point. So after my marriage and my life specifically falling apart and I kind of lived in a place of isolation. Scott Landry — I was living in the North, Canadian North, and I was yeah, I was lost. I was I was angry like I had so much anger. And it was so, yeah, I talk about in the book and I was angry and ultimately I was angry at myself, but I was also angry at God. Scott Landry — And because even after, again, making a mess of my own life, he didn’t make a mess of my life. Nobody made the mess in my life. I made the mess in my life. Scott Landry — And but then after that, I was trying to do everything right. And I was trying to do the right thing, do the right thing. And I was like, God, when are you going to start intervening on my behalf? Scott Landry — And so, you know, being the preacher that I am, I was like, I got all the Bible verses that tell me that you’re going to like now is you’re going to do the redemptive thing. You’re going to show up. You’re going to move. Scott Landry — You’re going to fix. You’re going to redeem. You’re going to restore. Scott Landry — You’re going to repair. You can do all the R words. And and nothing was happening like it was like and it was almost as if I and I literally heard nothing. And I’d like to say I didn’t feel anything, but I did. Scott Landry — It was just this this anger that was welling up inside of me like a like a pot boiling and eventually it just I just became unhinged. Like I was alone and I was completely isolated. I was in this empty house and I just started crying out like and yelling out and I threw through things. Scott Landry — I I used words I’ve I’m ashamed to admit I used. Like I mean, I was as unhinged as could possibly. I was like, I God, if I saw you face to face, I would give you the…like I told him all this stuff. Scott Landry — And and what I found in that moment was like and I again, I talk about in the book, but like I yelled, God, I don’t even believe in you anymore. I’m done. Like I like I don’t I don’t believe. You’ve promised me that you would never leave me. You would never forsake me. And that’s exactly what you’ve done. I’ve told people that you would never leave them and forsake them. And yet you’ve done that to me. You are you are dead to me. I don’t believe in you anymore. Scott Landry — And I even now I still feel this and I’m just talking about it. But like this is and this is I know some people are going to roll their eyes at this. But like genuinely, when I heard myself say that, I felt this…like over me, over my house. It was like this eerie like pause. Scott Landry — And I heard if I’ve ever heard the voice of God, I heard a voice say, well, then who are you yelling at? And it was like this, like… Rich Birch — Beautiful. Scott Landry — And in that moment, it was like my anger was it wasn’t my degree. It wasn’t my Bible. It was it was my anger was my evidence that God was present right then and right there. And because my anger was directed at him. Scott Landry — And he knew that I was angry with him and he met me at the place of my anger and he was waiting. And this is the part that I still, I can’t do this, what’s in my head and in my heart justice. But it was God was saying, I’ve been waiting for you at this place your whole life. Rich Birch — Wow. Scott Landry — You you have been hiding from this anger from your childhood, from your young adulthood. And I’ve been waiting for you to meet me here at your anger. And I’ve I’ve wanted you to know that I would be here waiting for you. Scott Landry — And if you met me on the top of the tallest mountain and if you look me face to face and if you were to give me the finger, you would find me there waiting because I am waiting at who you really are, not who you’re pretending to be. Scott Landry — And everyone around you, you’ve got them fooled. And you’re a used car salesman and you can spin the Bible verses and you can do all that other stuff. But I know who you really are. And I’m waiting for you to finally be honest with yourself about who you really are. Scott Landry — And now that you finally are, now we can do something about that together. And that was the moment that God truly revealed himself to me. And that’s when I, for the first time in my life, truly discovered who I was. Scott Landry — And yeah, that’s the moment that I hope anybody who ever meets me or talks to me or listens to me or reads it, like that’s the part that I long for people to have before it costs them, like it cost me. [Clip 4 Ends] Rich Birch — I love that moment when Scott said he heard, who are you yelling at? Man, that sticks with you. Rich Birch — Listen, four different stories. What I’m trying to do is raise for you the question about the inner life of what’s going on at your church with the senior leaders around you. Rich Birch — What if you were to go back and look at these four conversations and maybe say, OK, this one might be the best for us to lead a conversation with, and send them one of those, send your team one of those episodes. And say, hey, I’d love for us to take some time this summer. Rich Birch — Maybe you go and relax on a back deck somewhere or jump in somebody’s boat or spend a little extra time at the office. Because there is a little bit of slack at this time of year. And ask the question, hey, what’s going on on the inside of us as leaders at the church? How are we developing and how could this conversation help us ask some different questions than we normally do in our team meetings? Rich Birch — All the links to those four conversations are down below. Thanks for sticking through this this entire conversation. I know there was a lot today, but we’ll see you next week with our regularly scheduled programs, kind of back to what we normally do here at unSeminary. Rich Birch — Thanks for being a part of the podcast. Thanks for doing what you’re doing, including the hard work of the inner life to lead your people in a way that makes a huge difference. Thanks for being engaged in the local church. Take care, friends.

Episode Summary Love after divorce doesn't work the way it did the first time — and no one tells you that. This episode breaks down why midlife love isn't a fairytale, it's a negotiation. Why your partner isn't going to transform into someone new, he's going to become a more honest version of who he already is. And why real intimacy at this stage isn't about butterflies it's about honest and full disclosure. If you're navigating dating, partnership, or remarriage after divorce, this episode gives you the language for what you're actually building, and the questions you need to be asking before you commit again. What You'll Learn Why "falling in love" is a young-love concept — and what chooses its place in midlife The difference between accepting someone's baggage and accepting abuse (a critical line to draw) What actually needs to be on the table before you commit to someone again — the full disclosure conversation Why expecting a midlife partner to transform is a direct path to resentment The four things couples avoid naming until it's too late: kids, exes, co-parenting, finances How to grieve the young-love fantasy so you can access real, adult partnership Key Quotes "Love after divorce isn't falling. It's choosing." "You're not building a fairytale. You're negotiating a merger." "He's not going to become a different man. He's going to become a more honest version of the one standing in front of you." "Midlife love isn't blind. It's the first time you actually get to see clearly." "You don't get a blank slate at 45. You get a full ledger — and you sign it with your eyes open." "Young love says 'I hope you change.' Mature love says 'show me exactly who you are, baggage and all, and I'll decide.'" "The delusion isn't loving someone with a past. It's expecting the past not to show up." "Real intimacy at midlife isn't chemistry. It's disclosure." In This Episode The blank slate myth — why we keep expecting a fresh start at 45+, and why that expectation sets every midlife relationship up to fail Baggage vs. abuse — how to tell the difference between a partner with a past and a partner who is a risk, and why conflating the two keeps women stuck in the wrong direction on both ends The full disclosure conversation — what should actually be said out loud before you commit: expectations, non-negotiables, financial reality, co-parenting boundaries, what you want and don't want The grief nobody names — letting go of the young-love fantasy is its own loss, and skipping that grief is why so many people repeat the same pattern in a new relationship Choosing over falling — what it looks like to build a relationship on eyes-open acceptance instead of chemistry and hope Who This Episode Is For Women navigating dating or partnership after divorce, women in a serious relationship post-divorce trying to figure out if it's real, and anyone who has caught themselves waiting for a partner to become someone they're not.
