A Times story reporting that college students in a writing course do better when they go offline for a month makes perfect sense to me, same as if you say a writer does better at a laptop in the public library than shnockered on a sailboat in a storm, but the idea of persuading students to go offline strikes me as quixotic, like Amish evangelism or banning the use of chairs. The internet is here and we're all caught up in it.l was in my 50s when the World Wide Web came in. Its advent was not a big event to me; I was still working on a manual Underwood typewriter. I have a clearer memory of seeing Albert Woolson, the last living Civil War veteran, in a parade in downtown Minneapolis. I remember my uncle Jim farming with horses and Fibber McGee and Molly on the radio. And I remember boredom, which has mostly disappeared in America except perhaps among lighthouse keepers or attendants in parking ramps or felons in solitary confinement. And maybe imprisonment offline would be considered cruel and inhumane in a court of law.Growing up pre-Google in a small Midwestern town among taciturn people, I experienced boredom intensely and it led to reading and in due course to writing. I took up haiku:Three blackbirds shriekingAs my old black cat calmlySquats in the sandpile.This was enough to amuse me back then. And because I could write a 17-syllable haiku and had good handwriting and spoke in complete sentences, I was considered gifted.I considered becoming a poet but I wanted to earn money and not live up over my parents' garage so I went into public radio where, thank goodness, the audience was made up of reference librarians, caregivers, birdwatchers, organic gardeners, people who were spiritual but not religious, people who enjoyed the enigmatic more than actual entertainment. I shouldn't brag but I can be more enigmatic than anyone I know.I got a reputation as an artistic storyteller, which, believe me, there is no such thing — storytelling is not an art, it's a craft, like plumbing, and either the water comes out of the tap or it doesn't. But back in the Boring Eighties, enigma was more appreciated. And now, there's the smartphone offering endless entertainment, videos, YouTube, GPS telling you exactly where on Earth you are and how far to the nearest comedy club, yoga studio, liquor store and not just any old liquor store but one that offers designer beer with floral notes of marigolds sprinkled with saffron playing off earthy vanilla with rustic bitterness in the finish. We didn't have that back in my time, just cold beer.I try to explain this to young people, the fact that we didn't have soft butter then, butter aerated to make it spreadable, just little hard bricks of butter that when you tried to spread it on toast, you tore the toast apart, or else you scraped shavings of butter off and by the time the toast was buttered it was cold.Back in the day, before “google” became a verb, we had to memorize information, it wasn't readily available, such as verb tenses or state capitals or the nine planets — My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas — Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune Pluto — and a boy named Ralph Krause liked to ask Mr. Jensen our science teacher, How big is Uranus? Is there life on Uranus? It was a high point of science class, in which high points were few and far between.I grew up under the heavy burden of Boy Scouts, which I believe has mostly disappeared, done in by social media. We had cruel Scoutmasters who took us winter camping in the North Woods, believing adversity stimulates intelligence. I'm not so sure. I associate intelligence with staying warm.I look at politics, the regressive MAGA right (working hard to horrify the genteel left), which has elected nihilists in golf pants who exercise their whimsical powers to serve 3% of the people 75% of the time, and it's easy to despair but if you go offline and wander through crowds of Christmas shoppers, you sense the spirit of kindness and gaiety of our people.Old men dozing off at the switch need to be shoveled into the Home for the Hopeless and let the young and conscientious come in to repair the damage. I hope it happens in my lifetime. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit garrisonkeillor.substack.com/subscribe

A submissive has been in and wants to remain in a 24/7 TPE but wonders if it's hopeless now that their Dom isn't communicating. Here's the question: I am 78, and my Dom is... The post Q&A: Is Our 24/7 TPE Hopeless? appeared first on Loving BDSM.

When should you attempt to save the root filled molar that everyone else thinks is doomed? What are the key steps to safely remove, treat, and replant a tooth without causing fractures or resorption? And how do you manage patient expectations and post-op care to maximize success? In this episode, Dr. Samuel Kratchman and Dr. Shivakar join Jaz to explore intentional tooth replantation—a procedure that rarely gets the spotlight but can completely change treatment options for challenging cases. They cover everything from case selection and imaging, to managing crowns and fragile teeth, to simple tools and techniques that make this procedure predictable and accessible. They also dive into patient communication, consent, and how to include this procedure as part of your everyday dental armamentarium, giving you the confidence to consider it when the right case comes along. https://youtu.be/SjJTzbJ_AXs Watch PDP256 on YouTube Key Takeaways: Intentional replantation is a viable alternative to extraction. The success rate of intentional replantation is documented at 88-89%. Patient education is crucial for successful treatment outcomes. The periodontal ligament must be kept moist during the procedure. Imaging is essential for understanding tooth anatomy before replantation. The procedure can be performed atraumatically with proper technique. Replantation can be a last chance for teeth that are difficult to replace with implants. A mindset shift is needed in dentistry to prioritize saving natural teeth. Apical infections are often linked to the root tip and surrounding tissue. A good coronal seal is essential before any restorative work. Common complications include ankylosis and resorption. Inflammation can aid in the extraction process by serving the ligament. Post-operative care is vital for successful recovery.

In this Q&A episode, I'm joined once again by Uncle Joe for a deep, honest conversation around one of the most painful places a man can find himself—feeling unwanted, disconnected, and hopeless in his marriage. We respond to a question from a husband who hasn't felt physical or emotional connection from his wife in over two years, and we unpack what really breaks down in marriages long before intimacy disappears.   This conversation goes far beyond surface-level advice. We talk about why most men were never trained for marriage, how resentment quietly builds, why treating marriage like a contract destroys connection, and how changing your internal narrative can shift everything. We also bring in perspectives from men inside the Dad Edge Alliance to show how humility, coachability, and intentional skill-building can restore trust, safety, and leadership at home. If your marriage feels distant or stuck, this episode offers clarity, hope, and a path forward.     Timeline Summary [0:00] Welcoming listeners to the third Q&A episode of January 2026 [1:19] Uncle Joe returns and the power of community-driven wisdom [2:13] Introducing a listener's marriage question about rejection and hopelessness [2:55] Why only 12% of married couples report feeling deeply connected [3:33] Asking the most important question: what have you actually learned about marriage? [4:26] Joe reflects on personal failure, divorce, and hard-earned lessons [5:14] Why hope exists if attraction once existed [5:35] How complacency and busyness quietly push marriage to the back burner [6:02] Marriage compared to learning an instrument—you can't wing it [7:21] Resentment, skill gaps, and whether marriages can truly be restored [8:05] Marriage as a covenant, not a contract [8:55] How destructive inner narratives shape behavior and connection [9:43] Transactional expectations and why they kill intimacy [10:41] Why "nice guy" energy erodes respect and attraction [11:30] Listening to understand instead of listening to defend [12:12] Mutual submission, humility, and shared leadership in marriage [13:15] Alliance member insight on asking for feedback from your wife [14:16] Faith, unity, and intentionally doing life together [15:49] Receiving feedback without ego or defensiveness [17:14] Emotional bank accounts and the power of daily deposits [18:50] Gottman's 5:1 and 10:1 ratios for healthy marriages [19:40] Giving your wife permission to coach you [20:45] Why conflict isn't the enemy—avoidance is [22:00] Reframing the role of a wife as a strengthener, not a subordinate [23:17] "It's not me vs. you, it's us vs. the problem" [23:43] Larry shares a personal season of anger and choosing humility [25:16] How couples can build something better than what they had before [25:51] Episode wrap-up and where to find resources     Five Key Takeaways Most men were never taught how to lead a marriage, and guessing your way through it creates disconnection.  Marriage breaks down through narratives and resentment long before intimacy disappears.  Treating marriage like a covenant—not a contract—changes everything.  Emotional deposits made consistently rebuild trust and safety over time.  When couples unite against the problem instead of each other, restoration becomes possible.      Links & Resources Dad Edge Alliance: https://thedadedge.com/alliance The Legendary Marriage Book: https://thedadedge.com/legendarybook Episode Show Notes & Resources: https://thedadedge.com/1429     Closing Remark If this episode resonated with where you're at in your marriage, please rate, review, follow, and share the podcast.

Today we're chatting with Dr. John Gammichia, a general dentist who's made a name for himself saving what many would call “bombed out” teeth — all with conservative, direct composite. We'll dive into how he handles deep decay and pulp exposures, the materials and techniques that make it possible, and how his approach has become a real practice builder — showing that fee-for-service dentistry focused on preserving tooth structure can be both patient-centered and profitable.

Episode Summary: Today we’re tackling a topic that hits many people hard each January: “Blue Monday.” You may have heard it called “the most depressing day of the year”: a day when motivation runs low, bills come due, and the sparkle of the holidays fades into the grayness of winter. But is “Blue Monday” real? Why do so many people feel down this time of year? And what can you do, spiritually, emotionally, and physically, to climb out of the slump and find renewed hope? If you’ve ever felt like the light of Christmas faded too fast or that you’re struggling to find joy in January, this episode is for you. In this episode, I share How to Beat the Blues: Finding Hope When “Blue Monday” Hits. We unpack where the idea of “Blue Monday” came from, what really contributes to winter sadness, how to recognize when it’s more than just a passing mood, and how God invites us to nurture our mind and soul even in the darkest season. Quotables from the episode: Every January, the search engines light up with people looking for answers about “Blue Monday.” Some call it the most depressing day of the year. But here’s the truth: God doesn’t mark any day on His calendar as hopeless. Even when science can explain some of the factors that make us feel low, Scripture reminds us in John 1:5 that “the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” So today, let’s uncover both the science and the Savior’s invitation to find peace, joy, and renewed perspective, no matter what your calendar says. Part 1: Where “Blue Monday” Came From The term “Blue Monday” actually originated not from a psychologist or neuroscientist, but from a marketing campaign in the early 2000s. A British travel company wanted to boost winter vacation sales and partnered with a psychologist to create a formula that supposedly calculated the “most depressing day of the year.” They based it on factors like weather, debt level, time since Christmas, failed New Year’s resolutions, and low motivation. The date usually lands on the third Monday in January. But here’s what’s interesting: the science behind it was never validated. It was largely pseudoscience; a catchy idea meant to sell trips to sunny places! Yet it resonated with people because, truthfully, many do feel a dip in mood this time of year. Why? There’s a real physiological and psychological basis for that. Shorter daylight hours disrupt our circadian rhythm and lower serotonin levels—our brain’s natural mood stabilizer. Colder temperatures mean less outdoor activity and fewer endorphins. Holiday aftermath leaves us financially stretched and emotionally fatigued. Unmet resolutions of ourselves or others stir up shame or disappointment. So while “Blue Monday” may not be an official scientific day, it does point to something many experience: what we might call the post-holiday blues or seasonal affective slump. Part 2: How to Identify It Let’s talk about how you can tell if what you’re feeling is just a short-term dip or something more concerning. Here are some common symptoms of the “Blue Monday” slump: Low motivation or energy Irritability or tearfulness Difficulty concentrating Changes in sleep or appetite Feeling disconnected or unproductive Hopeless thoughts like “What’s the point?” If you’ve noticed these for a few days after the holidays, you’re not alone. Our brains and bodies crave rhythm and light—and winter often disrupts both. But sometimes, what starts as a temporary funk can evolve into something more serious like Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) or Major Depression. Part 3: When to Seek Professional Help Seek professional help if: Your sadness lasts more than two weeks. You lose interest in things you usually enjoy. Your sleep or appetite drastically change. You feel worthless, helpless, or hopeless. You find yourself withdrawing from others. You experience thoughts of death or suicide. Those are not signs of weakness—they’re signals from your body and brain that you need care and support. Just as you’d seek medical help for persistent pain, it’s wise to seek mental health help for persistent sadness. As a neuropsychologist, I’ve seen firsthand that depression and anxiety are treatable. There are excellent therapies, medical interventions, and lifestyle approaches that can help. But the first step is reaching out. And as a believer, I want you to know this: needing help does not make you a failure of faith. God often works through professionals to bring healing. He created our minds and bodies with complexity, and He delights when we care for them wisely. Remember Elijah in 1 Kings 19? He was exhausted, afraid, and said, “It is enough; now, Lord, take my life.” God didn’t rebuke him. God fed him, let him rest, and then gently spoke truth to him. That’s a model of divine compassion toward our emotional distress. Part 4: How to Take Care of Yourself If you’re feeling those “Blue Monday” blues—or a longer winter sadness—here are practical, biblically grounded ways to care for your mind, body, and spirit. 1. Get More Light Exposure to sunlight—or a light therapy box—can boost serotonin and regulate your circadian rhythm. Genesis 1:3 says, “And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.” Light was His first gift to creation, and it still brings life today. 2. Move Your Body Exercise increases endorphins and dopamine, improving both energy and outlook. You don’t need to run a marathon—start with a short walk or stretch. 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 reminds us our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. Caring for them is an act of worship. 3. Nurture Connection When we isolate, sadness grows louder. Reach out to a friend, attend a Bible study, or volunteer. Ecclesiastes 4:9–10 says, “Two are better than one… if either of them falls down, one can help the other up. 4. Adjust Your Expectations After the holidays, it’s easy to compare today’s ordinary moments to the excitement of December. Give yourself permission to slow down, to reset. The Bible gives us multiple examples of Jesus, the Son of God, taking time to rest. If He needed rest, why would we expect differently of ourselves? Matthew 11:28—“Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”* 5. Feed Your Spirit Immerse yourself in Scripture, prayer, and worship music. Depression dims perspective, but God’s Word renews it. Psalm 42:11 “Why, my soul, are you downcast? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him.” 6. Practice Gratitude Gratitude activates brain regions associated with joy and resilience. Even small blessings count—warm coffee, a friend’s text, a sunset. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 7. Set Rhythms of Rest Winter is nature’s reminder to rest. God Himself modeled rest on the seventh day—not from exhaustion, but completion. Rest refuels your mind and aligns your soul with His peace. Part 5: Reframing the Season Maybe this January feels heavy. Maybe you’re tired of gray skies or unmet resolutions. But let’s reframe it: What if winter isn’t a punishment, but an invitation? An invitation to slow down. To nurture your inner life. To rediscover hope not in circumstances, but in Christ Himself. Remember: no day is truly “blue” when it’s covered by God’s grace. He specializes in turning mourning into dancing, ashes into beauty, and despair into praise (Isaiah 61:3). The same God who paints the sunrise after the darkest night will bring light to your soul again. Friend, if you’re listening today and feeling the weight of winter, know this: you are not alone. God sees you. He is not disappointed by your sadness; He is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). There’s no shame in reaching for help—from Him, from loved ones, or from professionals. Healing doesn’t mean pretending everything is fine; it means letting God meet you in the reality of your pain. Scripture References: John 1:5 “the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” 1 Kings 19 “It is enough; now, Lord, take my life.” Genesis 1:3 says, “And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.” 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.” Ecclesiastes 4:9–10, “Two are better than one… if either of them falls down, one can help the other up.” Matthew 11:28 “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Psalm 42:11 “Why, my soul, are you downcast? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18 “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” Isaiah 61:3 “and provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.” Psalm 34:18 “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Recommended Resources: Sacred Scars: Resting in God’s Promise That Your Past Is Not Wasted by Dr. Michelle Bengtson The Hem of His Garment: Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner AWSA 2024 Golden Scroll Christian Living Book of the Year and the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Christian Living and Non-Fiction categories YouVersion 5-Day Devotional Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms Today is Going to be a Good Day: 90 Promises from God to Start Your Day Off Right by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, AWSA Member of the Year, winner of the AWSA 2023 Inspirational Gift Book of the Year Award, the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Devotional category, the 2023 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in four categories, and the Christian Literary Awards Henri Award for Devotionals YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 1 YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 2 Revive & Thrive Women’s Online Conference Revive & Thrive Summit 2 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 1 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 2 Breaking Anxiety’s Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the AWSA 2020 Best Christian Living Book First Place, the first place winner for the Best Christian Living Book, the 2020 Carolina Christian Writer’s Conference Contest winner for nonfiction, and winner of the 2021 Christian Literary Award’s Reader’s Choice Award in all four categories for which it was nominated (Non-Fiction Victorious Living, Christian Living Day By Day, Inspirational Breaking Free and Testimonial Justified by Grace categories.)

The rejection, disappointment, and challenging circumstances we've faced are legitimate, but they don't have the power to define our futures. Instead, we can rejoice because God is faithful. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the life of Joseph and how he trusted in the Lord through every trial and hardship he faced. Like Joseph, we have a solid foundation on which to put our hope, so we don't have to be overwhelmed with worry, anxiety, or despair. We can be confident that the God who has been faithful to us will continue to be faithful, and even when life's circumstances leave us broken, God never will.

People need HOPE and HEAT no matter the time of year. We live in a dark, bitter, and self-absorbed world. There are wars, and death, there are marriages and divorces, there is sickness and health. There are good people doing bad things, and there are healthy people taking their lives because of feelings of despair. Helpless and Hopeless, war ravaging our families, our communities and our countries. God sent His Son to HEAL and to SAVE. As followers of Jesus, we get to be his hands and his feet, throughout the year, not just December 24-25 of each year. On today’s Hour of Power, Mr. Black will be joined by Michael Johnson President of the Slavic Gospel Association, with a focus on the children of Ukraine. Listeners today will be inspired and will be entertained, but they will also be called to stay in the Christmas Spirit and to bring some Heat and Hope to the children of Ukraine, to our fellow citizens and to our families! Enjoy today’s Inspiration, Education and Application as Mr. Black encourages listeners to stay in the Christmas Spirit and remember: Christmas is NOT a day, it is a WAY, it is YAHWEH!

December 30, 2025Today's Reading: Isaiah 11:1-5 or 2 Samuel 7:1-16Daily Lectionary: Isaiah 58:1-59:3, 14-21; Luke 1:26-38“There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit. And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him…” (Isaiah 11:1-2a)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Our lives and even this world (our newsfeeds, our headlines, our daily burdens) can so often feel like a dead stump. Hopeless. Lifeless. Good for nothing. Maybe your heart feels like that today; cut down & good for nothing. But God is not done with stumps. Hear the Word of the Lord: “There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit.” (Isaiah 11:1) From a line that looked like it had fallen prey to the lumberjack, the House and lineage of David, God promised a tender shoot. Not one more stump that reminds us of our sinful failure and faithlessness, but a shoot that would take root and grow into a glorious vine. Christ Jesus has taken what was dead, and by His miraculous conception in the blessed virgin and His glorious birth from her womb, the House of David is alive forevermore! And this Jesus declares, “I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me, and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit…” You are now a branch in the vine of David, and His mercy and forgiveness flow even into the places that you may have thought were dead and beyond repair. Baptized into Him, and fed with His Body and Blood flowing within you, let Him nourish you. He is the vine and the root that will never wither. He is the King who will never turn a blind eye to your need, whose Kingdom shall have no end. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.This flow'r, whose fragrance tender With sweetness fills the air, Dispels with glorious splendor The darkness everywhere. True man, yet very God. From sin and death He saves us And lightens every load. O Savior, child of Mary, Who felt our human woe; O Savior, King of glory, Who dost our weakness know: Bring us at length we pray To the bright courts of heaven, And to the endless day. (LSB 359:3-4)Author: Rev. Matthew Synnott, associate pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church, Peoria, Illinois.Audio Reflections Speaker: Rev. Richard Heinz, pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church in Lowell, IN.Work through the first ten chapters of Matthew and learn more about who Jesus is. As you move through this study, you'll ponder the theological, practical, and historical considerations of the text. With ample room for personal notes, this study will have you feeling confident in your understanding of Matthew's Gospel.

Australia tightened their grip on the Ashes on Day 2 in Adelaide as England's Bazball bravado collapsed once again. After Australia were bowled out for 371, Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon returned with venom, ripping through England's top order on a hot, flat pitch that should have favoured batting. England's frustrations were compounded by ongoing DRS and Snicko controversies, internal tensions, and another disjointed batting display, leaving them eight wickets down and still trailing heavily. With Cummins' leadership, Lyon's milestone moment, and England staring down a likely 3–0 deficit, this Test — and tour — is slipping rapidly out of their control. Key Timecodes (1:25) Australia bowled out for 371 and early assessment of conditions and England's opportunity (3:30) Cummins and Lyon return, early wickets, and Lyon passes Glenn McGrath (5:00) DRS/Snicko controversy, Carey admission, and England's legitimate grievances (11:45) England's collapse before lunch and Cummins' dominance over Joe Root Cricket Unfiltered Merchandise is Here!

It's hard to believe, but Christmas is just around the corner. Over the next couple of weeks, we'll be taking intentional time to prepare our hearts for the coming of Jesus. This is the Advent season—advent meaning “coming” or “arrival.” It's a time set apart to ready ourselves to celebrate the birth of our Savior.For the next two weeks, we'll be exploring the Advent themes of Hope and Peace—two gifts Jesus came to bring. But when we look at the world around us, with all its hurt and despair, it's easy to feel our hope slipping. So how do we look to Jesus, our ultimate source of hope?

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu! In this thought-provoking episode, Tom Bilyeu sits down with Scott Galloway for a no-holds-barred conversation on the state of America's economy, generational divides, and the future of capitalism. Together, they dive into the hard questions: Why are Boomers thriving while younger generations struggle to get ahead? What's fueling the rise of cronyism and political polarization—and why does class mobility feel increasingly impossible? Scott Galloway shares sharp insights on topics like entitlements, tax policy, and structural barriers facing young Americans—from housing affordability and stagnating wages to the corrosive effects of monopolies and regulatory capture. The pair debate solutions ranging from progressive taxation and the need for genuine competition to massive investments in housing, education, and healthcare. But the discussion isn't just about economics. Tom Bilyeu and Scott Galloway also unpack the psychological side of money, the shifting expectations around masculinity, relationships, and what it means for young men navigating today's world. Throughout, they challenge each other—and listeners—to think critically about what kind of future we're building. If you're curious about how we got here and what can be done to move the needle, this episode is a must-listen. Let's get into it!

Hopeless Records has passed its third decade in business since we last had label founder Louis Posen on the podcast, so we caught up with him once again to talk all things Hopeless and indie labels! In this episode, Louis walks us through the unique origin of Hopeless, its early ties with Fat Wreck Chords, and their strong commitment to charity – housing Sub City, Songs That Saved My Life and Hopeless Music Academy as a part of the Hopeless Foundation. He also dives into the importance of knowing both the creative and business side of the industry, the interesting place that indies sit in the music ecosystem today, and how the industry can better approach issues like supply & demand and AI.

If the weight of waiting has ever felt crushing…if your desires feel delayed…if your suffering feels like, “Lord, I can't do this anymore”, this episode is for you.In this first week of Advent, we talk honestly about the ache of longing and the places in our lives that feel heavy. But we also talk about the God who meets us there, who gives us grace for the long haul, who replaces our faint, weary hearts with “long-lasting batteries,” and who teaches us to hope again.We explore:The weight of waiting and how the Lord strengthens us in seasons of sufferingWhat happens when God invites us to name our desires with hope, not resignationHow Advent calls us to slow down, unclench our calendars, and step into sacred timeThe difference between external “liturgical living” and the gentle interior rhythm of graceWhy even the smallest shifts in prayer can reorient our hearts in profound waysHow the Lord is doing deep work in our souls—often beyond what words can describeAdvent isn't about striving. It's about letting ourselves be carried, like a leaf on the river of God's grace, toward the heart of the Father, toward the eternity we long for, and toward the desires He Himself placed within us.So if you're longing… aching… hoping… or simply tired, come sit with us. There are graces available in this Advent, in this moment, that have never been available before.We're so glad you're here.

In today's episode, we have the pleasure to interview Dr. Aaron Hartman, author of Uncurable: From Hopeless Diagnosis to Defying All OddsAaron Hartman MD is a triple board-certified physician in Family Medicine, Integrative Medicine, and Anti-Aging/Regenerative/Metabolic Medicine. He's the founder of Richmond Integrative & Functional Medicine, a clinical researcher, a former Air Force Major, and a doctor whose entire approach to medicine was transformed after adopting his daughter, Anna — a moment that pushed him to challenge the limits of conventional healthcare and pursue root-cause medicine with uncommon intensity.In this episode, you'll learn why the medical system's blind spots can send patients down the wrong path, how Dr. Hartman rebuilt his entire medical worldview to help “uncurable” patients heal, and what it actually looks like to take ownership of your health in a world built for speed, prescriptions, and procedures — not curiosity.We hope you enjoy this incredible conversation with Dr. Aaron Hartman.To Learn More about Aaron and buy his book visit:The Book: https://a.co/d/dLUOgZfWebsite/Socials: https://aaronhartmanmd.com/https://richmondfunctionalmedicine.com/https://www.instagram.com/aaronhartmanmd/Chapters: 0:00 Intro1:32 A life-changing encounter7:37 Blindspots Dr.Hartman became aware of in medical care11:46 The silo effect and the threats of narrowing down too much15:18 The role of family doctors in health16:52 The responsibility of choosing (or not) vaccines21:40 Incentives for doctors in this system and the effects of this25:06 Dr. Hartman's take on bioidentical hormones28:26 Cholesterol's role in likelihood of diseases34:17 Cardiovascular diseases branch from autoimmune problems37:21 The root of health problems in the modern western world42:55 Finding a doctor that cares____________________________________________Join the world's largest non-fiction Book community!https://www.instagram.com/bookthinkers/The purpose of this podcast is to connect you, the listener, with new books, new mentors, and new resources that will help you achieve more and live better.

Share a commentHope isn't glitter for bad days; it's the framework that holds us together when life unravels. We start with a small classroom moment that changes everything—Miss Thompson's compassion for Teddy Stollard—and follow that thread to Abraham's long wait for a promise that defied biology, calendars, and common sense. Along the way we confront the quiet forces that drain our courage: unmet needs, unwanted circumstances, unrelenting pressure, unexpected trials, and unfulfilled promises. The point isn't to ignore evidence; it's to refuse to let evidence have the final word when God has spoken.We unpack Paul's teaching in Romans 4 and the phrase hope against hope, exploring what it means to believe without clearly seeing and to trust without corresponding proof. Abraham's new name, the delayed fulfillment, and the laughter of skeptics become signposts for our own delays and disappointments. We bring in Joshua and Caleb's report to show how hope hinges on preoccupation: either giants dominate your field of view, or God does. This is gritty faith, not bravado—honest about the obstacles yet anchored in the character of God.You'll also hear how a beloved worship chorus was born from family loss, reminding us that authentic hope often rises from the hardest places. We share practical ways to cultivate durable hope: rehearsing God's promises, telling the truth about pain, leaning on community, and choosing daily actions that align with a hopeful future. If your life feels stalled by deferred dreams or chronic setbacks, this conversation offers both theology and tools to move again with courage.Subscribe for more teaching on faith, resilience, and the promises of God, share this episode with someone who needs hope today, and leave a review to help others find these messages.Support the showStephen's latest book, The Disciples Prayer, is available now. https://www.wisdomonline.org/store/view/the-disciples-prayer-hardback

The holidays are supposed to be joyful, but for many they feel heavy—filled with unmet expectations, quiet pain, or spiritual drift. The good news? Jesus didn't come for the ones who had it all together. This Advent, we're flipping the script on a familiar carol. Come All Ye Faithless is a reminder that the invitation to meet Jesus isn't just for the strong, but for the struggling. If you're hopeless, joyless, anxious, or lonely… you're exactly who Christmas is for. Thank you Dr. Jo Vitale from Kardia Questions for helping start our series!

Do you feel hopeless—like you're stuck in a dark place with no way out? If you've ever thought your struggles are too big to overcome or that the world is falling apart, this episode is for you. Hope isn't something you either have or don't—it's a skill you can build. My guest today is Dr. Julia Garcia, a psychologist and author of The Five Habits of Hope. Some of the things we discuss are: What hope actually is The biggest myth about hopelessness (and the mindset shift that helps you find a way out) How social media quietly drains hope—and a simple way to reclaim it How to reflect without ruminating The micro social risks that build real connection (even if you're shy) How to release the things that are keeping you stuck Why receiving compliments and support is harder than it seems—and how to practice it Turning pain into purpose—how to repurpose hard experiences so they work for you, not against you A five-question “feeling framework” to get unstuck fast and take meaningful action Subscribe to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mentally Stronger Premium⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for exclusive content like weekly bonus episodes, mental strength challenges, and office hours with me.
