Open Forum: In this wide-ranging discussion, Pastor Amos and other participants explored the biblical perspective of marriage as a complete union, rejecting modern ideas of self-preservation within relationships. Pastor Amos emphasized transparency, commitment, and the dangers of holding back, while addressing the societal impacts of fear, divorce, and shifting gender dynamics rooted in Genesis. The group examined differences in male-female communication, challenges in modern dating—especially among successful individuals—and the effects of cultural norms at HBCUs. Personal experiences highlighted the importance of inner beauty, prayer, mentorship, and spiritual alignment in preparing for and maintaining healthy relationships. The conversation concluded with reflections on ambition, financial balance, and the significance of mutual respect and prayerful consideration in partnerships.

Hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. Hey, everyone, this week, we're talking a little bit about prayer, and I think Alex, in his message on Sunday and in this episode, he actually says some of the things that many of us have wondered silently. He says it out loud. What's up with those prayers that don't get answered? Or the suffering that we feel and we cry out to God and it seems like he's silent. How do we deal with all of that kind of thing? Is God causing our pain? Does he not care about it? Is he not listening? These are all the kinds of questions we wrestle with today. And I'd encourage you to dive in with us. Let's begin.

In this episode of The Intentional Dad, hosts J. Fotsch and Jason Hynson welcome guest Brian Mattson from The Downtown Church for a heartfelt discussion on fostering trust and openness in family conversations. The dads explore how honesty, humility and consistency are crucial for building emotional safety at home—especially when discussing hard topics or addressing mistakes both theirs and their children's. The conversation emphasizes the power of modeling honesty and vulnerability, especially when parents admit they're wrong. The trio shares personal stories about navigating difficult questions from their kids, handling lies with grace and keeping communication age-appropriate while still truthful. They stress that maintaining an open-door policy—no matter the topic or time of day—lays the foundation for long-term trust. Their message is clear: being an intentional dad means creating space for honest conversations even when it's uncomfortable. Episode Highlights [02:02] "Being able to say I was wrong… I went up and I apologized for the 10% I missed. Did he say, 'You're right, I was wrong'? No. But I wanted to keep that door open." [03:21] "The more times that door gets shut incrementally, that's going to be a big deal a decade later." [08:06] "If my daughter comes to me with real questions, that lets me know she's old enough for a real answer." [18:00] "You don't necessarily get in trouble for the act… but if we find out that you're not truthful with Mom and Dad, that's when we're upset." [21:11] "When he's been told he's done wrong… that just shatters him. So you have to be tender, especially when you do catch him in a lie." [24:17] "I don't believe in trickle-down economics but I believe in trickle-down emotions." Resources

In this episode of Uncommon Sense, we're talking about Tucker Carlson's highly discussed interview with Senator Ted Cruz. I'll be sharing my honest thoughts on how it went, why I think Tucker came out ahead, and what this kind of bold, unscripted, and unapologetically frank conversation means for the future of political discourse (spoiler: I'm all for it).We'll go into why I support constructive confrontation—yes, even when it gets "mean" and uncomfortable. The Founding Fathers didn't tiptoe around the truth, so why should we? They debated passionately because the stakes were high. The polite punditry act is wearing thin, and people are tired of political puppets mouthing safe lines. They're craving what we saw here: real conviction, real disagreement, and real questions.We'll cover why I believe Tucker won this exchange: from his biblical literacy to his serious concerns about foreign lobbying groups like AIPAC having a hand in U.S. policy. Ted got visibly nervous when pressed about Scripture, about Israel, and about U.S. involvement in a possible war with Iran. And the question still lingers: Why are we only now suddenly being pushed to act, when Trump was reportedly targeted by Iran two years ago?Most importantly, we'll reflect on Tucker's question—a theological one with deep political ramifications: Who is the real Israel according to God? Is it the modern state that does not believe Jesus is Lord and historically has required a denial of Christ for Jewish returnees? Or is it the true church—those who belong to Christ?I'll share my belief unapologetically: Israel is the body of believers in Jesus Christ. Not those who reject Him. Not those who crucified Him. That's a hard truth, but a necessary one in these last days when clarity very much matters.Faith shouldn't be a popularity contest.--https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOorwAVEYslTlOGA-36_bHHjruNDOebEKWQ6M2115NZZwL8WG_ali

In this episode of The Adoption Roadmap Podcast, Rebecca Gruenspan sits down with Dr. Joyce Maguire Pavao—a pioneer in the world of adoption, an adoptee herself, and the author of The Family of Adoption. With over five decades of clinical experience, Dr. Pavao challenges the idea that adoption is something to be “fixed,” and instead invites us to see it as a lifelong experience that demands truth, openness, and deep emotional care.In this powerful conversation, Dr. Pavao unpacks the psychology of adoption, the concept of ambiguous loss, and the invisible grief so often overlooked. She shares practical guidance for adoptive parents—how to talk about adoption, how to recognize adoption-related trauma, and how to support their children through it without over-pathologizing them. From early separation and normative crises to adoption-competent therapy and systemic change, this episode is filled with wisdom every member of the adoption constellation needs to hear.Important LinksDr. Joyce Maguire PavaoEmail: kinnect@gmail.comThe Family of AdoptionSweet Peach Tree – Clean, natural hair + skin products for melanin-rich families.Use code ROADMAP10 for 10% off your first orderRG Adoption ConsultingTake our FREE quiz: “Am I Ready to Adopt?”Chapters00:00 Celebrating Milestones and Community Engagement03:14 Understanding Adoption: A Lifelong Journey05:48 The Child-Centric Approach in Adoption09:13 Normative Crises in Adoption12:05 The Impact of Early Adoption Experiences14:55 Creating Adoption Competent Therapists18:05 Ambiguous Loss in Adoption20:50 Supporting Children Through Invisible Loss24:01 Indirect Communication Strategies for Parents26:54 Recognizing Trauma in Adopted Children30:06 Understanding Behavioral Responses in Adoptees33:02 The Complexity of Adoption Experiences36:13 Encouraging Open Conversations in Adoption38:57 The Role of Parents in Navigating Adoption Challenges41:58 Empowering Adoptees to Share Their Stories46:31 Navigating Family Dynamics in Adoption49:41 The Vulnerability of Pre-Adoptive Parents55:29 The Need for Honest Conversations in Adoption57:40 Challenges in the Adoption System01:02:33 The Importance of Community in Healing01:10:31 Therapeutic Approaches for Adoptive Families01:12:32 Understanding Healing vs. Fixing01:16:29 Building Connections and Community01:23:59 Embracing the Truth of AdoptionTune in to The Adoption Roadmap Podcast every Wednesday and Friday mornings.

Guest speaker Megan Fate Marshman joins Pastor Chad to talk about what it really means to trust God. Even when we hear God, we often think we walk alone, but we don't need to. God promises to be there, no matter where we are or what we're going through. We grow through our pain when we open our lives to trust Him. He prepares us for the future and leads us through the trials we don't see coming. God uses the good and the bad, and in it all, our greatest strength is when we call out to Him. Subscribe to receive our latest videos!Website: https://www.sunvalleycc.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sunvalleycc/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sunvalleycc/Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sunvalleyccTo support Sun Valley and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://www.sunvalleycc.com/givingGod loves you no matter who you are, what you've done, or what's been done to you.

In this episode Dr. Karlfeldt interviews Dr Eric Schoen about. The conversation begins with Dr. Karlfeldt highlighting the challenging situation many cancer patients face when their oncologists advise against using complementary therapies alongside conventional treatments. Dr. Schoen discusses the importance of patients having informed conversations with both their oncologists and integrative providers, noting that 35-44% of cancer patients incorporate integrative therapies, sometimes without their oncologist's knowledge. Dr. Schoen emphasizes that patients should work with specialists who understand the complexities of integrative cancer care rather than navigating treatment alone. He shares a case study about a patient who experienced complications from excessive green tea consumption during treatment, illustrating how even beneficial natural substances can interfere with cancer therapies when used improperly. This highlights the importance of proper guidance from knowledgeable practitioners who understand potential interactions. The discussion covers safe supplements that can be taken during conventional cancer treatments when properly supervised. Dr. Schoen recommends foundational supplements like modified citrus pectin (which binds to galectin-3 and prevents cancer progression), Magnolia extract (which helps reduce angiogenesis), and vitamin D (crucial for immune function). He also discusses the importance of trace minerals like zinc and beneficial mushrooms such as Turkey Tail, Reishi, and Cordyceps for supporting immune function. Throughout the conversation, both doctors stress the importance of patients advocating for themselves while seeking multiple opinions to make informed decisions about their treatment. They highlight how integrative therapies, when properly administered, can enhance the effectiveness of conventional treatments and support patients throughout their cancer journey, potentially improving outcomes and quality of life.Dr. Eric Schoen emphasizes that 35-44% of cancer patients incorporate integrative therapies alongside conventional treatments, some with their oncologist's knowledge and others without disclosing it.Patients should work with specialists who understand integrative oncology rather than navigating treatment alone, as the complexity of cancer care requires expertise to avoid harmful interactions between therapies.Modified citrus pectin is highlighted as a foundational supplement that binds to galectin-3, helping prevent cancer progression and the formation of new blood vessels that feed tumors.Green tea consumption requires careful monitoring during cancer treatment as it can potentially interfere with certain treatments by affecting estrogen metabolism and causing bioaccumulation of stress molecules.Mushrooms like Turkey Tail, Reishi, and Cordyceps offer significant immune support during cancer treatment, while also helping to reduce fatigue commonly experienced by patients.----Grab my book A Better Way to Treat Cancer: A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding, Preventing and Most Effectively Treating Our Biggest Health Threat - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM1KKD9X?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 Unleashing 10X Power: A Revolutionary Approach to Conquering Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/unleashing-10x-power-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST1Healing Within: Unraveling the Emotional Roots of Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/healing-within-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST2----Integrative Cancer Solutions was created to instill hope and empowerment.

In this week's episode of Retire in Texas, Darryl Lyons, CEO and Co-Founder of PAX Financial Group, breaks down one of the most overlooked but critical elements of financial planning: the discovery meeting. Whether you're already a client or just starting to explore a relationship with an advisor, understanding how PAX approaches discovery reveals a lot about what it means to truly serve clients with clarity, care, and purpose. Darryl shares a behind-the-scenes look at how PAX advisors engage with new clients - not with sales pitches or pressure, but with thoughtful questions and deep listening. Through personal stories, lessons from past client experiences, and insights drawn from behavioral finance, this episode offers a valuable window into how the right discovery process sets the foundation for long-term success. Key highlights of the episode include: What a discovery meeting is really about - and how it differs from old-school sales tactics. Why the first question a good advisor asks isn't “What do you have?” but “What do you want?” How behavioral finance tools like “Money Mind” and “Honest Conversations” help uncover what truly matters. The importance of including both spouses - and why trust, relief, and clarity are the true deliverables. How today's advisors are thinking partners - not brokers, not salespeople - and why that distinction matters. Whether you're looking to revisit your own financial goals or want to understand how PAX serves the people you refer, this episode reframes financial planning not as a product, but as a partnership rooted in values and vision.

Want to be a guest or know someone would be a great fit? I am looking for military vets, active duty, military brats, veteran service orgs or anyone in the fitness industryForget the overnight success stories and million-dollar launch myths. This raw, honest conversation with Denise Millet—the "Findability Queen"—peels back the glossy veneer of entrepreneurship to reveal what really happens when you decide to work for yourself.Denise's journey began not with a business plan, but with a wake-up call. Standing in a hotel lobby during yet another exhausting business trip, she received a cancer diagnosis that forced her to reevaluate everything. Though thankfully treatable, this moment became the catalyst that transformed her from corporate consultant to entrepreneur. "If you're going to work that hard for a company that has no loyalty to you," she reflects, "I would much rather put my loyalty in me."What follows is a refreshingly candid discussion about the messy middle of building a business—the part most entrepreneurs don't share on social media. Denise reveals how her greatest corporate strength—being a versatile problem-solver—actually became her biggest entrepreneurial weakness. "Online, you need one thing, one thing," she emphasizes, describing the years-long process of narrowing her focus to become truly effective.From the challenge of articulating your value proposition to the delicate dance of work-life balance, Denise offers practical wisdom gained through trial and error. Her advice on finding the right mentor stands out as particularly valuable: research thoroughly, observe their communication style, and ensure they're willing to answer your questions—even if you need to ask fifty times before understanding.For anyone standing at the crossroads of continued employment or entrepreneurship, Denise offers this gem: start small, on the side, without the pressure of immediate success. "It's not something you want to do feeling panicked," she advises. And perhaps most importantly: "Stop getting ready to get ready. Just do it."Ready to take that first small step toward building something meaningful? This episode will give you both the reality check and encouragement you need to move forward with confidence.https://www.denisemillet.comYoutube: @findabilityqueenSupport the show
