Sissy Goff and David Thomas sit down with father and son Randy and Scott Hearon for a deeply honest conversation about the father-son relationship. Through stories spanning childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, they explore the messages boys receive about identity, capability, performance, faith, and belonging. Randy reflects on his growth as a father, including the impact of addiction, sports culture, and grace, while Scott shares how his dad's presence, vulnerability, encouragement, and willingness to grow alongside him shaped his life. Together they discuss the importance of helping boys know they have what it takes, the dangers of performance-based identity, and the power of authentic relationships, forgiveness, and faith in building lasting connections between parents and children.

In this episode, my husband, Christopher, joins me as we unpack the realities of marriage, the highs and lows of this past year, and some advice we'd give to those who are still single or dating (we are no experts here but we have a few things to share lol)It's easy to idolize marriage (guilty here), but we wanted to have an honest conversation about what marriage actually looks like. Being single is hard, and being married is hard, but both seasons carry their own beauty and purpose. No matter where you are in life, we hope this conversation encourages you and reminds you that God is present in all of it!!Connect with me on:

Send us Fan MailPope Leo's Magnifica Humanitas encyclical was released this week, with AI taking centre stage, but it wasn't just this document that discussed AI, in the US - due to protests against AI, mainly datacentres - ‘Anti-Tech Extremism' is now a target for law enforcement, and of course, the bombs started to fall again on Iran. In case you've been living under a rock, Europe's heatwave took centre stage in the world's news, which unleashed climate deniers across social media, meanwhile - not gaining anywhere near the level of attention - India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Vietnam and beyond, are seeing extreme wet bulb temperatures creeping towards 50°C, with grids straining to keep citizens cool, especially during an energy crisis. We saw the first Enhanced Games break one record (just), the backlash against Ferrari's first EV, Alberta has decided to move ahead with plans for independence from Canada, more than 90 people died in a coal mine explosion in China, and at least 500 children have died of measles in Bangladesh. In Saudi Arabia, the Hajj goes ahead with extreme heat a massive risk, apparently 1.2 billion people are living with mental disorders globally, scientists are screaming the alarm as Thwaites (aka the Doomsday Glacier) is facing imminent collapse, and of course, Ebola is raging and experts are becoming increasingly concerned. It's been a big week! Our theme this week is looking into what it's like working as a humanitarian today, as the multiple crisis pile up, the funding shrinks, and extreme weather events ripple across the world. We will discuss the state of the humanitarian field today, the biggest concerns, the reality of funding cuts on the ground, the Ebola situation as its unfolding, preparation (or not) for the forthcoming Super El Niño, and how you can work in this field and keep your faith in extremely challenging times. To help us understand the state of the humanitarian field, we are delighted to welcome Nicola Upham, who is director of humanitarian strategy and delivery for Save the Children, but she is not speaking on behalf of Save the Children, she is speaking as a leader in the field. Nicola has been working for humanitarian organizations for nearly two decades, and prior to this worked in recruitment and even had a stint at Coca-Cola in sales. She's seen it all across her career, and we're so grateful for the opportunity for a birds-eye-view into the humanitarian profession, from a person doing the hard work supporting the most vulnerable. Please do join us for this unique opportunity, especially as Nicola is really busy right now, dealing with the world's crisis. It's all happening this Friday, 29th May 2026, and the livestream kicks off at 8am UK, 9am EU, 11am UAE, 12.30pm IN, 2pm TH, 3pm SG, 5pm AEST. Streaming across various locations, and no doubt about it, we'd love your support. The Sh*t Show is a Livestream happening every Friday, where Andrea T Edwards, Dr. David Ko, Richard Busellato and Joe Augustin, as well as special guests, discuss the world's most pressing issues across all angles of the polycrisis, working to make sense of the extremely challenging and complex times we are all going through, plus what we can do about it. Help us move the needle so we can change the name of the show to something more genteel when (or if) it is no longer a sh*t show. #TheShitShow #UncommonCourage You can find me Andrea T Edwards | The Digital Conversationalist and Welcome - Uncommon Courage - An Invitation. My book Uncommon Courage, an invitation, is here https://mybook.to/UncommonCourage My book 18 Steps to an All-Star LinkedIn Profile, is here https://mybook.to/18stepstoanallstar 

Today’s Bible Verse: “How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?” — Romans 10:14 Romans 10:14 highlights the importance and urgency of sharing the gospel message. Paul lays out a simple but powerful reality: people cannot believe in Jesus if they have never heard about Him. The good news of Christ is meant to be proclaimed, shared, and lived out so others can encounter the hope of salvation. “Want to listen without ads?

Welcome back to the No Grey Areas Podcast! Our host, Pat McCalla, sits down with his lifelong friend, Elaine Jenkins (also known as “Lady Wisdom”), for one of the most raw conversations about a topic we all have faced or will face throughout life: grief. Reading from her personal journal and sharing the multiple shocking tragedies she's experienced throughout her life, Elaine opens up about what grief really looks like behind closed doors and how it affects every person differently.Elaine opens up about what she has walked through, a list of what NOT to say to someone walking through loss, and why “silence is holy.” We also talk about the pressure society places on people to “move on,” the urge to want to run away, and how faith, scripture, and God's presence carried Elaine through her darkest moments. At the end of the day, this episode is a reminder that while grief may change you forever, there can still be peace, purpose, and hope found in the middle of it.CHAPTERS:00:00:00 Intro00:01:49 The most traumatic accident of my life00:04:29 How grief changes you as a person00:08:22 Healing from Grief vs Guilt00:14:10 A sudden turn of events00:22:24 You'll never be the same after grief00:26:21 How grief changes you in a positive way00:29:04 Grief is exhausting00:30:37 What NOT to say to someone who is grieving00:31:56 Your presence is enough00:38:05 What you should say to someone who is grieving00:39:27 Where are you, God?00:45:52 I believe, but help my unbelief00:47:30 I'll feel alone forever...00:49:44 How to help someone going through grief00:52:13 Always remember them00:55:57 What happens next after losing a loved one?00:58:20 Lady Wisdom's Greatest Advice01:01:24 Two Truths and a Lie01:02:56 OutroWEBSITE: https://www.nogreyareaspodcast.com/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/nogreyareas_gagliano/FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/NoGreyAreasTIK TOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@nogreyareasgaglianoEMAIL: info@nogreyareas.comNo Grey Areas is a motivational podcast with captivating guests centered around how our choices humanize, empower, and define who we become.

In this episode of Grace City Church's The Follow Up, Yasmin and Brian unpack the questions, tensions, and misconceptions surrounding one of the most debated spiritual gifts in the New Testament. From personal prayer language to public expression, from skepticism to spiritual hunger, we explore how the church can avoid both denial and disorder while pursuing discernment, maturity, and the presence of the Holy Spirit.We talk about:* Why has this gift caused so much confusion and division?* Can tongues be emotional, learned, or even abused?* How do we pursue spiritual gifts without hype or pressure?* What does a healthy, Spirit-filled church actually look like?Whether you're curious, cautious, skeptical, or hungry for more of God, this conversation aims to bring theological clarity, pastoral wisdom, and practical insight to a topic many Christians have questions about.

Eric Feltes joined me for a powerful and honest conversation about healing from religious trauma, unlearning shame, and building confidence, intimacy, and self-worth.Growing up in a conservative evangelical environment, Eric shares what it was like to feel that being gay was incompatible with belonging, and how that early messaging shaped his identity. He opens up about the moment everything changed, and the years of work that followed as he began to untangle belief from identity and build a life rooted in authenticity.We talk about the root of shame, how it shows up in everyday life, and what it really takes to move beyond it. Eric also shares insight into why intimacy can be a challenge, and how it's something that can be learned and rebuilt over time.We also discuss his new program launching in June, designed to help gay men reconnect with themselves, their desires, and their relationships in a more honest and fulfilling way.This is a meaningful conversation about identity, healing, and what it takes to fully embrace who you are.

On this episode of That Don't Sound Right, co-hosts Peter and Cecil welcome fellow podcasters Jen and Brandy from Heavy Pour of Jen and Brandy for a thoughtful, funny, and surprisingly deep conversation about the connection between joy and pain. The discussion explores how Jen and Brandy's podcast began, why people are drawn to sharing honest stories, and how healing sometimes shows up in unexpected places—from bars and backpacking trips to silent discos, roadside dancing, and even sneaking aboard yachts. Along the way, the group wrestles with big questions: What exactly is joy? How is it different from happiness? Can pain actually deepen our ability to experience joy? The conversation touches on the work of authors and thinkers like Kate Bowler and Jerry Sittser, including recommendations for Joyful Anyway and reflections on grief, healing, absurdity, and living honestly in a complicated world. As always, That Don't Sound Right stays true to its mission of talking the way we did before the internet—without constant Googling or fact-checking, just real conversation and the collective wisdom of the people around the table. The episode also includes hilarious yacht stories, multiverse theories, sketchy-but-legal adventures, backpacking tales, dancing therapy, and the always-entertaining TDSR speed round. Because sometimes joy shows up in the middle of the absurd… and somehow, that just might sound right. #tdsrpodcast #ThatDontSoundRight #HeavyPourOfGinAndBrandy #JoyAndPain #KateBowler #JerrySittser #HealingJourney #PodcastConversation #MentalHealth #AuthenticLiving #Storytelling #Backpacking #Absurdity #JoyfulAnyway #FunnyPodcast Connect with us:

About this episode: In this episode of the Wellness Pro Show, Cate Stillman sits down with Carey Peters, Co-Founder of Health Coach Institute (HCI), for the most candid conversation about certifications the wellness industry rarely gets to hear. Carey has spent more than two decades training tens of thousands of coaches across more than 50 countries, building and successfully exiting one of the largest coach training organizations in the world, and now mentoring founders and executives at the highest level of their careers. Her perspective on when a certification is the smartest investment you will ever make, and when it is simply a very expensive form of procrastination, is hard-won, deeply practical, and refreshingly direct. This conversation traces Carey's unlikely journey from working actress to accidental entrepreneur, through the creation of Holistic MBA and then Health Coach Institute, all the way to a multi-million dollar exit in 2023. Along the way she shares the inside story of how HCI scaled rapidly by marrying a powerful coaching methodology with sophisticated lead generation, what happens to a founder's vision when private equity enters the picture, and what she now knows about building something that lasts. For wellness professionals weighing their next investment, whether that is enrolling in a program, creating their own certification, or building a membership-based business model, this episode offers the clearest and most honest framework available for making that decision well. Key Takeaways: The Certification Collecting Trap: Why endless training can become a comfortable and costly form of avoidance, and how to recognize when that is what is happening The Green Light for Creating Your Own Certification: Why the signal to build your own program is not a methodology in your mind but proven results with real clients who are already asking you to teach them what you do Accreditation in Context: What bodies like ICF and the National Board of Health and Wellness Coaches actually mean for your business, and how to evaluate their value specifically for your audience at point of sale Confidence Comes From Doing: Why every coaching school produces graduates who struggle with confidence, and why the only real cure is working with more clients, not enrolling in more programs The Business Model is the Differentiator: Why for practitioners who already have a stack of credentials, a sustainable business model moves the needle far more than another certification ever will What Private Equity Does to a Founder: The honest account of what changes when outside investors or buyers enter a coaching business, and what founders need to know before they take that path Resources and Links: Carey Peters Website: https://careypeters.com Health Coach Institute: https://www.healthcoachinstitute.com Wellness Pro Hotline: https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/bookings/wellness-pro-hotline Wellness Pro Academy: https://wellnesspro.academy Yogahealer: https://www.yogahealer.com About the Guest, Carey Peters: Carey Peters is the Co-Founder of Health Coach Institute, one of the world's leading health and life coach training programs, where she helped train tens of thousands of coaches across more than 50 countries.

In this episode Aaron sits down with special guest Tyler Staton to talk about pain and suffering. Tyler is the lead pastor at Bridgetown in Portland OR. To order Tyler's book

Episode Summary: In the chaos of life—when the bills pile up, when fear creeps in, or even when joy overflows—sometimes the words just don’t come. That’s where prayer steps in, grounding us in God’s presence and reminding us we’re never alone. On this episode of Your Hope-Filled Perspective, in honor of the National Day of Prayer, I’m talking with Tama Fortner, bestselling author of over sixty books, about her newest release Prayers for Each Moment. This powerful book offers heartfelt conversations with God for real-life situations, helping us move beyond scripted words into authentic, soul-deep connection. Whether you’re struggling to pray or simply longing for a deeper rhythm of communion with God, this conversation will meet you right where you are. Quotables from the episode: Prayer is one of the greatest gifts God has given us, yet for many of us, it can also feel like one of the hardest disciplines to practice consistently. Do we have the right words? Are we doing it "enough"? And how do we bring our real struggles and everyday moments before a holy God? Today’s guest, Tama Fortner, award-winning and bestselling author of Prayers for Each Moment: 100 Conversations with God About Real Life and Real Stuff, joins us to remind us that prayer isn’t about performance—it’s about relationship. Together we’ll explore how prayer can be both an invitation and a lifeline, and how it connects our everyday lives to God’s extraordinary love. I've also seen it play out in the lives of others and some of the comments and feedback that I've gotten is an uncomfortableness with prayer. We hear these beautiful public prayers in our churches, in different venues, and they're wonderful, and they're beautiful, and necessary, and needed, but they can also be a little bit intimidating. We get this notion that we have to have the right setting, the right words, that it has to be a certain structure, a certain time of day, and it doesn't. It doesn't. It just has to have a heart that's turned to God. I think that gets it in our way a lot. Prayer is a conversation, and we never want to minimize that we're talking to the God of all creation. We never want to make it an unholy space or lessen the holiness of his invitation, but we also don't have to be intimidated by it. We don't have to figure out exactly the right words. We don't have to have ourselves all cleaned up and perfected before we come to him. So, it's a willingness to reframe prayer as that conversation. And so, we're turning to him maybe with half form sentences in the middle of doing something else. I need God in every moment of my life. And the prayer without ceasing, something that I've come to realize reading some, some books like Brother Lawrence and then just some life experiences is that prayer may not always look like what we think it will look like. Maybe what we've been led or taught or grown up seeing it. It's not always head bowed, and eyes closed and stillness. Sometimes it's going for a walk. Sometimes it's a really quick prayer while you're on the run. But most of all, whether we use words or not in our prayers, it is a heart that's turned toward God, ready to listen, ready to be led. Isn't it wonderful that he is bending down his ear to listen whenever we approach him with a heart of prayer. And I love that we never get a busy signal. You know, I'm not a big one for talking on the telephone, but it can be frustrating when you need to get hold of someone, and you get that voicemail. And you have to wait for a response, but we never have to wait on that response from God, because he is always attentive to our prayers. I don't know what to pray. And I struggled, as you talked about earlier, with some doubts. But there are those verses where the man brings his son to Jesus, to heal, and Jesus says, "Do you believe?" And the man says, "I believe, but help my unbelief." Because even when we're struggling, even when we're doubting, even when we don't know what to pray, as long as we are taking those struggles and doubts to God, oh my goodness, His love and grace meets us in that moment. And our prayers don't always have to have words. God wants to hear from you. God wants to speak into your life. Take a moment, and I know you're busy, so, it doesn't even have to be a moment of stillness, but take a moment and have a conversation with him, and then take one more moment and let him have a conversation with you.

In this episode of Better Business, Better Life, Debra Chantry-Taylor tackles one of the biggest barriers to scaling: the conversations leadership teams avoid that could unlock growth.  Debra exposes the “polite meeting trap,” where teams stay comfortable, avoid conflict, and leave meetings with no real decisions or progress. While it may feel safe, this behaviour quietly stalls growth and erodes accountability. She makes it clear that politeness does not build great businesses, effectiveness does.  The episode dives into why leaders avoid hard conversations in the first place. Fear of conflict, protecting relationships, and power dynamics all play a role. When the most senior leader avoids tough topics, the entire team follows, leading to side conversations, misalignment, and slow execution.  Debra explains how EOS provides the structure needed to make these conversations easier and more productive. With clear roles, accountability, and objective data, teams can separate people from problems and focus on solving real issues without emotion taking over.  She also shares practical strategies to shift from avoidance to action, including eliminating sidebar conversations, bringing issues into the room, and regularly assessing whether team members are aligned with core values and truly fit their roles. If your leadership team feels stuck, overly polite, or avoids the real issues, this episode is a direct call to step up, have the conversations that matter, and create the clarity needed to grow.         CONNECT WITH DEBRA:    ___________________________________________          ►Debra Chantry-Taylor is a Certified EOS Implementer | Entrepreneurial Leadership & Business Coach | Business Owner ►Connect with Debra: debra@businessaction.com.au  ►See how she can help you: https://businessaction.co.nz/  ►Claim Your Free E-Book: https://www.businessaction.co.nz/free-e-book/          Episode 270 Chapters:     00:00 – Introduction 00:55 – EOS Thinking and the Importance of Honest Conversations  02:46 – The Polite Meeting Trap  04:17 – The Founder and Power Dynamic Problem  05:58 – The Role of Structure in Facilitating Hard Conversations  06:49 – Ad Lib Questions and Answers  11:44 – The Real Cost of Polite Meetings  13:59 – Structures That Make Hard Conversations Safer  15:43 – The Importance of Regular Reflection and Conversations

Betsy Kauffman, founder and CEO of Cross Impact Coaching on her journey from technology project management to executive leadership coach and consultant. After 25 years leading large-scale technology transformations across Fortune 500 companies, her resulting TED Talk: Four Tips for Honest Conversations at Work has had over 1.6 million views. She tells us how aligning leadership teams for successful AI transformations must include the human element if we are to define goals and secure proper change management. It is the human context in AI decision-making, she says, that can avoid inefficient use of resources and reduced productivity and lead to high-performing, aligned teams. Talent and teamwork, she argues, rather than relying on the advances in technology, are the key to driving strategic success.  She has created a free alignment survey to help leaders and their teams understand whether deeper alignment is what your team needs right now before you head into your next big change initiative.

What if talking about death didn't feel so… heavy?In this episode, I sit down with the hosts of End of Life Conversations to explore what happens when we stop avoiding the topic we're all quietly thinking about. (You know, the one we tend to shove into the emotional junk drawer labeled “deal with later.”)We talk about why these conversations matter more than we think, how they can actually bring connection instead of discomfort, and what it looks like to approach them with honesty, curiosity, and a little more courage than we feel ready for.You can find Wakil and Annalouiza here; https://www.endoflifeconvos.com/Want to Join the Good Grief Society?

On this episode of Mutuality Matters, Dr. Mimi Haddad meets with Dr. Preston Sprinkle to discuss his new book, "From Genesis to Junia: An Honest Search for What the Bible Really Says about Women in Leadership." A deeply committed Christian, husband, and father, Preston Sprinkle said his career has focused on serving the church as a scholar. As such, he approaches questions concerning faith and life through a deep dive exegetical analysis of the related biblical passages and related historical contexts. For many years, as a complementarian, Preston read the key passages (1 Timothy 2:11–15, 1 Corinthians 14:34–36, and Ephesians 5:21–33) at face value—through a plain reading of the text which, seemingly, supports male leadership in church and the home. Yet, over time, he noticed how the Greek syntax in these passages was complex. Attending more carefully, he began to focus on single words in the text like “silent.” This practice was quite fruitful in helping him realize how women were not silent in Scripture contra 1 Corinthians 14:34–36. This seeming inconsistency evoked questions around what NT women were talking about. Clearly, they had a voice. In fact, leading Bible women were far from silent. God called and gifted women to speak as prophets, judges, warriors, and diplomats. Women were Christ's disciples, and women served beside Paul as deacons, apostles, church planters, and his coworkers. Romans 16 abounds with the voices of women, slaves, and non-Jews—aligning with the welcome of women as Gospel agents (Gal. 3:28). Stunningly, women's voices were heard in Corinth, as they prayed and prophesied in the church (1 Cor. 11:5), raising questions about the meaning of 1 Corinthians 14:34–36. Other passages in 1 Corinthians, such as 1 Corinthians 7:4-5, 1 Corinthians 11:7, and 1 Corinthians 11, challenged Preston as a complementarian because:   Wives and husbands have authority over each other's bodies: 1 Cor. 7:4–5   Women prayed and prophesied: 1 Cor. 11:5.   Women “… have authority over her own head, because of the angels:” 1 Cor. 11:10.   Woman and man are interdependent: 1 Cor. 11:11–12.   Preston cited as a helpful resource, Gregory Dawe's works on head metaphors in Ephesians, The Body in Question: Metaphor and Meaning in the Interpretation of Ephesians 5:21–33 (Biblical Interpretation Series, 30)   Turning to 1 Timothy 2:11–12, Preston points to the extreme use of authority (authentein) Paul evokes in this passage that mirrors the unilateral, domineering authority of slave owners over their slaves as it demeaned slaves ontologically as lesser humans for a lesser purpose. It was a devaluation Jesus challenged in Matthew 20:25–28: “Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”   Summing it up, Preston suggests that three complex, poorly translated texts cannot overturn the “wide ocean of women leaders in Scripture.” Which is why he cautions against silencing women based on a plain reading of the Bible. Add to this the many women scholars he admired even before becoming an egalitarian. Women like Drs. Linda Belleville Sandra Ritcher, Lynn Cohick, Cynthia Westfall, and others are deeply regarded and highly respected throughout the Christian world. We add Preston to the list of egalitarian scholars and leaders, thanking him for his very insightful work throughout this podcast and in his newest book, From Genesis to Junia: An Honest Search for What the Bible Really Says about Women in Leadership, available in CBE's bookstore. Enjoy!  00:56 Welcome and Guest Intro  02:59 Preston's Journey Shift  04:56 Deep Dive Research Process  06:31 Key Textual Turning Points  11:04 Women Scholars and Influences  13:24 Feedback and Early Critiques  19:51 Jesus Centered Vision for Women  21:46 Conference Invitation Chicago 2026  24:39 Hopes for the Book  25:33 When Egalitarianism Gets Real  26:45 Why Change Takes Time  30:37 Texts of Terror Overview  31:06 Women Silent in Church  33:29 Marriage and Household Codes  35:18 Authority in 1 Timothy  37:32 Hardest Passage 1 Corinthians 11  40:24 Mutuality in Paul  42:07 Conference Invite and Thanks  43:29 Closing Prayer and Support
