I've been laughing at how quickly all my best-laid plans just kind of went sideways. I thought I had this trip with my dogs mapped out perfectly with the timing, the route, and the stops. But then, I encountered one little hiccup after another. A tire sensor acting up, late departures, and rolling into towns I didn't even plan to see. I somehow even ended up in a fancy hotel with two German shepherds in tow. None of it was what I pictured, but it actually turned out better. As frustrating as change can feel in the moment, I've found it brings unexpected gifts like extra time with loved ones, new confidence in my dogs (and myself), and the simple joy of realizing we can handle more than we think. That's what today's Wise Walk is all about. It's embracing the open road, giving gratitude for the surprises, and seeing how getting out of our comfort zone deepens our rhythm with ourselves and those we care about. Where in your life are you navigating the metaphorical open road? Is it requiring you to embrace change, embrace possibilities, and get resourceful because the unexpected is happening and you have to navigate that unexpectedness? As you ponder and reflect, are you gaining a deeper understanding of yourself and of others? What lessons are you learning as you navigate your open road, your journey, or how you want to move from point A to point B? Where in your life are you open to your own rhythm and open to the open road? When you get curveballs in life or a delay of game, can you give gratitude for how you embrace the change? Can you give gratitude for the possibilities that surface from that change? Can you see what's possible out of it and recognize that this was a blessing in disguise, not what you set out to do, not your original plan, but something even better? As you step outside your comfort zone and embrace the change and possibilities in front of you, are you giving gratitude for those unexpected blessings? Are you giving gratitude for how you rise to the level of your own expectations? Are you giving celebration and kudos to those around you who rise to the level of the expectations that you set? Where in your life are you giving gratitude and appreciation for how you are navigating and staying in rhythm and flow as you deepen your own experience? I'd love to hear where in your life you're giving gratitude and appreciation for how you're navigating and staying in rhythm and flow. I have so much to give gratitude for including you, this podcast, and our weekly Wise Walks.  Thank you for joining me, and I would love to hear what you took away from today's episode. Until next Thursday, keep your Stride On! In this episode: [02:14] My big lesson on this journey was the idea about embracing change and possibilities. I had intentions of leaving on a certain date, but I kept getting thrown curveballs. [03:08] I'm goal-oriented and having my plans changed was frustrating. In reality there was no reason that I couldn't pivot, and I got to spend extra quality time with my family. [04:35] The unexpected extra time that I got in St Augustine was really beautiful for me, my family, and my dogs. [05:45] I ended up stopping in Mobile, Alabama and staying at a very nice downtown hotel. I had some anxiety about the whole thing, but the dogs behaved perfectly. [07:39] I learned to embrace change when I'm in an environment that I didn't anticipate. The outcome was beautiful, and we were in a rhythm together. [08:36] This set us up with the idea of possibilities and being able to handle whatever was before us. [09:59] I also ended up connecting with a friend in Wichita Falls, Texas. It was an unexpected, awesome blessing to meet up with my friend on a road trip. [12:32] I had targeted destinations, but now I've learned it's better to go with the flow. [13:35] Embracing change and trying new things gets us out of our comfort zone. This expanded my understanding of myself and of my dogs and their capabilities. I have to give them more credit. [15:48] How often in our life can we embrace this mentality where we step out of our comfort zone and embrace change and then give gratitude for it? Memorable Quotes: “The best moments aren't the ones I planned. They're the ones that showed up when I finally stopped trying to control every detail.” - Mary Tess “I am gaining so much, and the dogs are gaining so much. We are gaining as a family unit by learning the rhythm of the road and learning what we're capable of while inviting transformation and going with the flow.” - Mary Tess “The rhythm of the road is a lot like the rhythm of life. It can be messy and unpredictable, but full of hidden gifts.” - Mary Tess Links and Resources: Mary Tess Rooney Email Heart Value Facebook | LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram

Send us a textGod's grace is, perhaps, the central principle of the gospel because it is the expression of Christ's Atonement. No other doctrine deserves more of our attention than this one. In this episode, our son Aaron, who lives in Puerto Rico, shares his thoughts on grace. I'm convinced that if you listen closely and consider his explanation of grace, your own concept of grace will expand and become more meaningful in your life. __________________________Do you have questions or comments?Please contact me: rtosguthorpe@gmail.comWant more info about my books and talks?Go to my website: https://www.russelltosguthorpe.com/Want to order a book?

You're overperforming because your identity isn't aligned. This episode exposes the pressure behind productivity — and shows why leadership without recalibration will always leave you empty.What if the exhaustion you're feeling isn't because you're not strong enough… but because you're leading from a misaligned identity?In this episode of The Recalibration, we confront the pressure to perform, produce, and polish — and how it fractures the lives of high-capacity humans from the inside out.We'll unpack:– Why high-functioning leaders quietly burn out– How overperformance shows up as image-driven leadership– What performance-first cultures miss about sustainability– How to recalibrate leadership from pressure to presenceWith a deeply personal story, a case study from Angela Ahrendts, and a micro-recalibration that will stop you in your tracks, this episode speaks directly to:– The Burnout Wrapped in Gratitude still pushing forward– The Misaligned Achiever who can't maintain the image anymore– The Internal Success Seeker trying to lead from authenticityToday's Micro Recalibration:“Where in my leadership am I performing — instead of connecting?”Lead from presence, not pressure.

Hunter-gatherers ate dozens of different plants each day! How can we use variety to maximize our health in the modern day, even while the American Heart Association asks us to limit the variety of what we eat?!? Also, how do you react when you take health-affirming steps? Do you diminish their power or do you celebrate and elevate them? Regardless, we'll talk about how to tweak our small steps mindset for maximum impact!

When it comes to our finances, we often wonder: Where does God's provision end and our responsibility begin? Should we simply wait and trust Him—or get to work and provide for ourselves?The truth is, it's not either-or. God calls us to both trust Him and participate in His provision. Not because He needs our help, but because He delights in working through us.Avoiding Two ExtremesYou've likely heard the phrase, “Let go and let God.” While it sounds spiritual, it can sometimes lead to passivity. On the other end of the spectrum, some of us live as if everything depends on us—hustling, stressing, and striving in our own strength.Scripture offers a better way: a life of faith that doesn't ignore work, and a life of work that doesn't ignore faith. God invites us into a partnership—trusting His sovereignty while faithfully engaging in our responsibilities.Paul writes in 2 Timothy 2:6, “It is the hard-working farmer who ought to have the first share of the crops.” The farmer can't make the rain fall or the seeds grow, yet he tills, plants, and harvests. He works diligently while depending entirely on God for the increase.In the same way, we can't control the economy or prevent every financial emergency—but we can make wise choices. By living below our means, avoiding debt, and giving generously, we acknowledge God as our Provider while faithfully stewarding what He entrusts to us.God Provides—We ParticipatePsalm 104:14 reminds us, “You cause the grass to grow for the livestock and plants for man to cultivate.” God causes the growth, yet invites us to cultivate it. His provision is not a one-sided transaction—it's a relationship.We see this throughout Scripture. When Jesus fed the 5,000, He didn't create food out of thin air. Instead, He multiplied a boy's simple lunch. God chooses to involve us, not because He lacks resources, but because He delights in using us to bless others.God's Word makes it clear that provision and work go hand in hand.Ephesians 4:28 urges, “Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor… so that he may have something to share with anyone in need.”1 Thessalonians 4:11–12 calls us to “work with your hands… so that you may walk properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one.”Laziness is never encouraged, but neither is frantic self-reliance. Instead, Scripture calls us to wise diligence rooted in God's faithfulness.Stewardship means recognizing that everything belongs to God. We are not owners but managers, entrusted with His resources to reflect His character.And His provision is never just for us. Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 9:10–11, “He who supplies seed to the sower… will supply and multiply your seed for sowing… You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way.”God enriches us so that generosity might overflow through us—producing thanksgiving to Him.Living in the Beautiful In-BetweenSo how do we balance trust in God's provision with active participation?Pray before you plan—inviting God into your financial goals.Work with diligence, not fear—resting in His faithfulness, not your performance.Give generously—not because God needs your money, but because He invites you to reflect His heart.Rest confidently—knowing God is at work even when you sleep.At the end of the day, God delights in using ordinary people with ordinary means to display His extraordinary grace. He is the Provider, and we have the privilege of being His participants.Provision, then, is not just about a paycheck—it's about a partnership. Let's stop asking whether it's “all up to us” or “all up to God” and embrace the beautiful in-between: trusting Him, working faithfully, and joining Him in the joy of provision.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My wife and I inherited a house from a family member in another state. We'd like to keep it available for friends, family, or church members to use, rather than renting it out. What do you think about that approach?My wife and I are in our early 80s. Years ago, we used our Roth IRAs to pay off our home, allowing us to live debt-free in retirement. We use our IRA for charitable giving, but with the rising cost of living, I'm wondering if a reverse mortgage could be a smart tool. What's your advice?If I already have a living will, will my assets still need to go through the probate process?I've had a long-term care policy since 2018 with $400,000 in coverage, but I was told there's a six-month waiting period before it pays out. That seems long to me. Should I consider canceling the policy?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Your nervous system becomes your organization's blueprint. This episode unpacks how bracing, urgency, and emotional pressure get transmitted — even in high-functioning teams — and what to do when you're the one creating the tension.Leadership isn't just strategy. It's nervous system stewardship.In this episode of The Recalibration, we explore why high-capacity humans — even the most visionary and emotionally intelligent leaders — still create cultures of quiet urgency and invisible pressure. Because when you lead from a sympathetic state (braced, hurried, reactive), your team doesn't just notice — they mirror it.Drawing from personal reflection, organizational patterns, and the leadership model of Satya Nadella, we unpack:– The subtle ways team members “read” a leader's state– How internal tension becomes external culture– What to look for in your team that reveals your internal leadership posture– Why Identity-Level Recalibration matters more than strategy realignmentYou'll learn how emotional tone is transmitted, how to spot signs of bracing in yourself and your team, and what it really means to embody regulated leadership.This episode is especially resonant for: – The Burnout Wrapped in Gratitude still holding everything together – The Quiet Resistor noticing the mismatch but unsure how to name it – The Misaligned Achiever whose performance masks emotional pressureToday's Micro Recalibration:“What is my nervous system teaching my team — without me realizing it?”Regulate before you communicate.

This week on the Luxury of Self-Care, I'm sharing how I've been tackling my to-do list without letting it control me. Instead of drowning in “I still have to do this… and that,” I've started orchestrating my tasks in the "Notes" app so I can see everything at once and fit it into my schedule with intention—no more anxiety spirals, just steady progress.And because life always throws in surprises, I also had to squeeze in an unexpected vet trip when our pomsky, Meiko developed an infected anal gland (yep, you read that right). It was scary at first, but she was a total rockstar and earned five stars for bravery. In this episode, I share the full (and hilarious) play-by-play of her treatment and how moments like these remind me she's our baby—especially after our miscarriages.Tune in for a mix of practical self-care strategies and an honest peek into real life's curveballs.

What to listen for:Our hosts, Robin Greubel, Stacy Barnett, and Crystal Wing, do a deep dive into their recent Intentional Handling and Hide Setting camp where, during a sweltering week in Iowa, seventeen detection dog teams discovered how unconscious body positioning can make or break a search!The breakthrough moment came on Thursday during an outdoor search. A handler, diligently following instructions to avoid "going full frontal" on hides, had positioned herself away from the actual hide, directly facing an odor pool instead. Her dog searched frantically in that pool, unable to solve the problem."I want you to go full frontal on the hide," Robin instructed, breaking her own rule. Without saying another word to the dog, the handler simply shifted her feet toward the actual hide location. The dog immediately moved to source and alerted.This demonstration crystallized the camp's core philosophy: intentional handling means making conscious decisions about every movement.As Stacy explains, "It's about purposeful handling in a way that supports the independence and autonomy of the dog, but in a way that's also making the search effective and efficient."The sweet spot lies between abdicating responsibility—just following your dog around—and micromanaging to the point where the dog loses all autonomy.Crystal's Six C's framework provided the mental component. When handlers move with purpose, dogs search with confidence. But intention goes beyond physical positioning. It also shapes how handlers approach each search mentally. Starting with curiosity allowed students to observe without judgment, opening them to discoveries about their own unconscious patterns.The camp's structure reinforced these lessons through repetition. Watching 34 team runs of identical problems revealed how subtle handler movements created dramatically different search patterns. Aged hides, left for 24-36 hours, produced disconnected odor pools that challenged even experienced teams. One hide in a hay field, placed nowhere near any landmark, forced dogs to use pure scenting ability rather than visual triangulation.By week's end, handlers learned to track coverage areas while reading airflow patterns, leaving their dogs free to locate odor. Key Topics:Crystal's Six C's Framework (03:33)The Full Frontal Demonstration (15:44)Defining “Intentional Handling” (18:06)Handler Movement Restrictions Exercise (30:36)Aged Hides and Disconnected Odor Pools (39:23)Hay Field Hide Challenge (45:11)Final Takeaways on Intention and Gratitude (49:24)Resources:Intentional Handling (image mentioned in episode)We want to hear from you:Check out the K9 Detection Collaborative FB page and comment on the episode post!K9Sensus Detection Dog Trainer AcademyK9Sensus Foundation can be found on Facebook and Instagram.

We gathered in prayer, lifting up needs within our church family and giving thanks for God's presence in our community. Together, we reflected on the importance of trusting the Lord with all our hearts, learning to depend fully on Him rather than leaning on our own understanding. We considered how submitting to Christ breaks enemy attachments and brings true rest for our souls. We were reminded of the role of older men in teaching, the humility required to live in obedience, and the call to receive God's word with meekness—even when it corrects us. The evening closed with gratitude for God's provision, both spiritually and practically, and with renewed encouragement to walk together in love, accountability, and prayer.

#372 In this fascinating podcast episode, the host welcomes Vedic astrologer Dynaea Benova to discuss the astrological significance of upcoming events, particularly focusing on Uranus's influence as it moves into Gemini by 2027, indicating massive disruptions and shifts. Dynaea explains the differences between Western and Vedic astrology, emphasizing Vedic's foundation in actual planetary positions versus Western's seasonal basis. The conversation covers the potential for economic collapse, the rise of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, and telepathic evolution due to heightened gamma radiation. It also delves into how astrology can help individuals navigate personal and collective challenges, especially through understanding one's natal chart. Insightful discussions on broader societal shifts, spiritual growth, and maintaining an optimistic outlook amidst chaos make this a compelling episode for astrology enthusiasts and those curious about humanity's future. About Dynaea: Dynaea Valerieva Benova, who gave a talk on astrology and cosmic shifts at the Melbourne Theosophical Society in February 2025.

My name is Sarita and I am trained in  ancient Shamanic techniques. This channel will help you to transcend the ordinary and realize the truth of who you are as quantum, vibrational being moving into a higher level of consciousness. I believe everyone has the potential to have extraordinary, wonderful and uplifting, heart aligned lives if we can understand that we are all part of source consciousness and are creating our realities in every now moment. We have the capacity to become entirely present and manifest from the quantum field of infinite potential through the zero point technology of our inner being, including and not limited to; our energy centres/chakras,  the cells, atoms and quantum particles of our bodies, our nervous and endocrine systems and our pineal glands. This self actualization is accessed by us in many ways and principally through meditation. Therefore I teach meditation in an entirely new and creative way, collating information directly from the source field and expressing to you, often in a raw and pure format without any pre-design. I also share my human perspective as well as ancient information including ways to create ceremony for yourself in this modern world which give you practical tools to be able to transcend matter, manifest your dreams, heal and become heart centered.My aim is to give you all as much information as I can for free on this channel so that you too can become the master of your own reality.

My guest is Dr. David DeSteno, PhD, a professor of psychology at Northeastern University. We discuss science, God and religion, including what science can and can't reveal about the existence of God and where religious faith and science do and do not align. We also discuss why questions about life's origins, miracles and the afterlife have persisted across time. Dr. DeSteno explains how religious rituals cause meaningful improvements in mental and physical health and how prayer and gratitude can markedly reduce stress, increase honesty and compassion and buffer against loneliness and despair. Finally, we explore what distinguishes religions and mission-based communities from cults, and we discuss the role that communities such as 12-step and Burning Man play in modern life.

Series: Romans: Guilt Grace & Gratitude pt. 74 Text: Romans 10:18-21 by Nick Neves, pastor | Lord's Day Morning | 08.24.25

Every now and then, we like to strip away the guest interviews, the expert teachings, and the deep dives, and just have an honest, unscripted conversation. In this bonus episode, Will and Karen sit down together (with no plan at all!) to reflect on how their own spiritual journeys have shifted after hundreds of interviews on The Skeptic Metaphysicians. What starts as a meandering chat quickly becomes a heartfelt exploration of how little “coincidences” might actually be miracles in disguise, and how simply reframing the way we see the world can unlock more joy, meaning, and connection. What You'll Hear in This EpisodeWhy Karen now sees “coincidences” as miracles, and how that small shift has transformed her daily outlook.Will playing devil's advocate: is it really a miracle, or are we just assigning meaning where there is none?Stories of flat tires, angel numbers, and unexpected signs from loved ones who've passed.A powerful lesson from Jonathan Robinson's “world's best mantra” (spoiler: it's just two simple words).How gratitude and miracles feed into each other to create a cycle of upliftment.A practical challenge for you: spotting the “miracles” in your own everyday life.Key TakeawaysPerspective changes everything. Viewing synchronicities as miracles instead of accidents can shift your vibration instantly.Gratitude is the ultimate mantra. Saying “thank you” consistently for even the smallest things deepens your spiritual awareness.Spiritual practice doesn't have to be complicated. Sometimes it's just about noticing what's already around you.Your experience is your teacher. Whether it's a flat tire, a blue jay in winter, or a bright blue Tesla, the universe is always speaking...if you're open to noticing.Your “Miracle Challenge” We invite you to carry a small notebook (or just keep mental notes) and jot down the little miracles you notice each day. Whether it's seeing a repeating number, receiving a text at just the right time, or spotting a bird you asked to see, train your awareness to spot the magic woven into your everyday life. If you enjoyed this unscripted conversation, let us know! We'd love to create more of these intimate bonus episodes where we reflect, laugh, and explore the spiritual path right alongside you. Because sometimes… the miracles aren't in the interviews...they're in the everyday moments we live.Subscribe, Rate & Review!

God causes all things to work together for our good! Today on 15 Minutes in the Word, Joyce explains how daily thanks multiplies blessing and impact. Discover simple gratitude habits that change lives.

Life often feels uncertain and overwhelming, but Hebrews 12 reminds us that God’s Kingdom is unshakable. Our strength and stability aren’t rooted in our own abilities but in His presence, promises, and power. In today's prayer, Meg Bucher points out that everything in this world—our fears, anxieties, and even our sin—will one day be consumed by God’s refining fire. Only what is good, pure, and eternal will remain. When we lean on Christ, we are given an unshakable faith that cannot be moved by the storms of life. Gratitude, worship, and holy reverence anchor us in His truth, reminding us that God alone is our source of security. Main Takeaways God alone is unshakable—our strength is found in Him, not ourselves. Worship and gratitude align our hearts with God’s eternal perspective. Trials, fears, and worries cannot shake us when we cling to Christ’s promises. God provides for our daily needs and strengthens us through His Word. Christ-centered community helps us endure hardships and stand firm in faith. Bible Verse References Hebrews 12:28-29 – “Since we are receiving a Kingdom that is unshakable, let us be thankful and please God by worshipping him with holy fear and awe. For our God is a devouring fire.” Isaiah 65:24 – “I will answer them before they even call to me. While they are still talking about their needs, I will go ahead and answer their prayers!” 1 Timothy 4:4-5 1 Chronicles 17:34 Psalm 7:17 2 Corinthians 9:15 Calls to Action (CTAs) Subscribe to Your Daily Prayer for daily encouragement rooted in God’s Word.

Gratitude is a natural response to God's goodness—but does it show up in the way we give?Many pastors wish their congregation knew that giving isn't just about meeting a church budget—it's a vital part of growing as a disciple of Jesus. Today, Leo Sabo joins us to unpack three things your pastor wishes you knew about giving.Leo Sabo is the President of the Christian Stewardship Network (CSN). He has spent the last 22 years working with couples, individuals, and church leaders, helping them understand and manage their finances according to biblical principles.Why Conversations About Giving MatterEffective conversations between church members and leadership aren't just about meeting financial goals. Because God owns everything and we are His stewards, money decisions are both practical and deeply spiritual. How we handle what God has entrusted to us reveals our hearts and our motives.1. The Spiritual Benefits of GivingPastors understand the connection between generosity and discipleship. Trusting God with our money is a significant part of our spiritual journey—and once we embrace that, giving becomes a joyful act of worship.Stewardship is holistic, involving our time, talents, and treasures. A love-inspired steward sees everything—not just what we give—as belonging to God. Pastors want you to know that giving isn't a “membership fee” to the church. It's an offering to God, through the church, out of gratitude and worship.2. Stewardship Is Part of DiscipleshipStewardship means responsibly managing the resources God has entrusted to us, including money. Many churches offer classes and programs to help members budget, save, avoid debt, and invest wisely—all grounded in biblical principles.Jesus spoke often about money and possessions because He knew our relationship with them reveals the condition of our hearts. Faithful stewardship naturally leads to generosity, reinforcing the spiritual benefits of giving.3. Transparency and Accountability Build TrustIn an era when people are increasingly concerned about financial transparency, pastors want to ensure that members understand that the responsible use of donations is a priority. Church leaders have both a responsibility and an opportunity to demonstrate accountability.When you give, you're funding ministry—teaching, worship, community support, and the staff who make it all possible. Every act of generosity fuels the church's mission to serve both its members and the surrounding community.If you'd like to learn more about starting or strengthening a stewardship ministry in your church, visit ChristianStewardshipNetwork.com.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My 22-year-old son is graduating from college and starting his first job next year. What retirement planning advice should I give him—especially when it comes to private investments outside of his workplace retirement plan?I'm concerned that the housing market may be headed for a downturn similar to 2008. Here in Indiana, I see many new houses being built that most people can't afford, along with more foreclosures and repossessions. Why isn't anyone sounding the alarm? Am I overreacting, or do you see the same risks?I'm 61 with $300,000 in a Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) and about a year from retirement. Should I adjust my investments, move my money, or make any other changes as I approach retirement?My wife and I want to relocate from Florida to Colorado, where we already own a piece of land.

Wait a minute — that's not Todd! Today on Wretched Radio, Fortis Institute Fellow and Thrive host, Pastor Brad Bigney, steps in as guest host to discuss the key components to a marriage that thrives! Segment 1: • Brad Bigney guest hosts, and explains how God can move your marriage from surviving to thriving. • Real love requires risk: giving for another's good with no strings attached. • God's Word—not feelings or experts—guides thriving marriages. Segment 2: • Fear blocks intimacy and fuels self-protection, pretending, and shutdowns. • Love and fear are opposites—God's love frees us to risk loving others. • Knowing God as “Abba” gives security to love boldly in relationships. Segment 3: • Focusing on a spouse's faults poisons relationships—gratitude restores joy. • Thoughts shape emotions and actions; wrong thinking fuels conflict. • Gratitude shifts perspective, even through trials, planting marriages in healthier soil. Segment 4: • Small, daily gratitude habits re-root marriages in joy and stability. • Expressed gratitude snowballs into marriage, parenting, and friendships. • Guarding thoughts and focusing on grace transforms homes—but gratitude is not for abuse cases. ___ Thanks for listening!
