There are so many bittersweet flavors to our emotional landscape: our grief intermingled with relief, the tears of compassion when those who have hurt us express their regrets, the push and pull between our inner and outer worlds, the existential ache of not finding full expression in any world, the relief at expressing who we are aloud only to discover that we still only belong to ourselves, the lonely costs of success, the recognition that what was broken in our lifetime may not be made whole for hundreds more years, and a thousand more inner contradictions. Yosef's story is the story of a dreamer whose dreams came true. But even stories with the happiest endings come with an underlying ache. As we close Yosef's story in this week's Parsha, we analyze Yosef's emotional world through the astounding record of Yosef's tears, a central character in the Torah who is plainly recorded in verse after verse as weeping: sometimes in private, sometimes in public, sometimes so loudly that the entire land can hear. How do we make meaning of these tears? What story do they tell us about Yosef's experience of his life's triumphs and hardships, of the inner, emotional world that beat beneath this powerful figure, who rose from the pit to find astounding success as viceroy in Egypt, and as he released his restraint on his buried identity, expressed an emotional landscape that echoes the complexity of each of our own inner worlds?* * * * * * *To inquire about sponsorship & advertising opportunities, please email us at info@humanandholy.comTo support our work, visit humanandholy.com/sponsor.Find us on Instagram @humanandholy & subscribe to our channel to stay up to date on all our upcoming conversations ✨Human & Holy podcast is available on all podcast streaming platforms.

Jinky Panganiban serves as Professor of Practice at the University of Oregon's Sports Product Management Program, founder of 1969Blue Consulting, and founding member of Oregon Sports Angels. She is a former Vice President and General Manager at Nike with over 20 years of global executive experience. She led multibillion-dollar businesses across Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, and Europe. In this episode, Jinky reveals why "fitting in" kills leadership potential and how your cultural background becomes your superpower in global business. Jinky explains how the sports product industry has built intentional leadership development by translating a shared mission to fit local cultures instead of forcing one uniform way while maintaining a unified mission. She addresses the volatile state of global trade by emphasizing curiosity and critical thinking as essential skills for the next generation. Jinky argues that despite rising nationalism and tariff threats, consumers are already voting for a borderless world through their digital behavior and content consumption. In this episode, you'll discover how to leverage your cultural background as a superpower, build high-performing global teams, and lead with authenticity in an increasingly connected world.

Watch this Episode on YouTube | Jinky Panganiban on Stop Fitting In https://bit.ly/TLP-492 Key Takeaways [04:09] Jinky describes how she started at Nike through a blind ad in Manila and was handpicked to help build Southeast Asia operations. [06:26] Jinky reveals how three white male mentors helped her realize her cultural background was her superpower. [09:47] Jinky explains that great leadership starts with being—knowing who you are and what you stand for—not just the doing of checking off deliverables and performance goals. [12:51] Jinky distinguishes influence from selling. [13:42] Jinky describes how SPM deliberately keeps students in the same project teams for 18 months because leadership is formed in the messy middle when deadlines are tight and not everybody agrees. [17:12] Jinky explains the collective industry commitment to raising next-generation leaders who will progress the culture. [20:32] Jinky demonstrates how global brands must translate their message locally. [25:17] Jinky shares how mentor Kate Delhagen gave her courage to leave corporate and explore angel investing. [28:58] Jinky describes her current advisory work with startup brands where she's both business advisor and biggest cheerleader, modeling what Kate did for her. [31:04] Jinky argues that despite borders and tariffs, the next generation of consumers already thinks globally through social media and digital platforms, celebrating differences rather than fearing them. [34:09] Jinky emphasizes that curiosity combined with critical thinking—vetting sources and asking why—is essential for navigating today's information-saturated world. [37:26] Jinky encourages everyone to celebrate where they've come from because there's only one of you, and you can't be more original than that—your background is your competitive advantage. [ ] And remember… "To be one, to be united, is a great thing, but to respect the right to be different is maybe even greater." – Bono Quotable Quotes "There's only one of you, so you can't be more original than that." "My cultural background and where I came from and all of my lived experience actually isn't something that I should shy away from or even be embarrassed about, but actually use it to my advantage and actually leverage it." "Great leadership starts with being. It's knowing who you are, what you stand for, and how you show up, especially when no one's watching." "We believe that leadership is formed in the messy middle. You know, when the deadlines are tight, the tempers are like rising and then not everybody's agreeing, but then you still have a deadline to hit." "Global doesn't mean uniform. The best teams share common purpose but express it in ways that feel very local." "Even if we put borders around things, the consumers will vote anyway to go beyond borders. Ideas, innovation, their talent, creativity, I don't think it carries a passport." "Human leadership never goes out of style." "Learn to lead yourself first. Build credibility, make sure that you practice empathy, and then lead through action and not titles." "If you don't know how to work in teams, you cannot work in the industry." "It's not so much exporting the culture, it's about translating it so that it works for everybody." "Cultural intelligence or cultural fluency is really critical because I've seen how that has become the one skill that could bridge global teams and communicate even beyond language." "Making sure that you find sources that are credible. Not just take things face value. Critical thinking is also something that's really important to ask the question why." "Culture, whether that's country culture or community culture, it's something to leverage, and it could always be a superpower for you." "We want to make sure that we leave this place better than we found it." Resources Mentioned The Leadership Podcast | theleadershippodcast.com Sponsored by | www.darley.com Rafti Advisors.

“Be strong and courageous, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9 The book of Joshua stands at a hinge in Israel's history. The wilderness years end, the promises to Abraham begin to unfold in full view, and the people of God cross a boundary that is both geographical and spiritual. Joshua teaches us that the living God is not an abstraction, a fairy tale or myth. He guides, commands, judges, and saves. Human action is sometimes God's means to achieve His will, but human strength is never the source. The story moves forward because God keeps His word. Again and again Joshua confronts us with this truth. The Jordan does not part until the priests step into the waters. Jericho's walls fall by obedience rather than force. Israel's presumption at Ai yields defeat, and humility restores what pride had lost. Each scene presses the same lesson into the heart. Trust in God is not passive. It is a posture of obedience and submission, taken in the confidence that the Lord Himself goes before His people. Nowhere is this clearer than at the threshold of Jericho. Joshua encounters a mysterious warrior with drawn sword, who identifies Himself as Captain of the Lord's armies. Joshua falls on his face. He removes his sandals. The ground is holy. The One who spoke to Moses from the burning bush now stands before Joshua as Commander. The battle that follows is not Israel's achievement. It is the Lord's, just as he promised. This moment reveals the true theme of the book. The comes through God's presence. He is not simply giving Israel a land. He is forming a people who know Him, follow Him, and entrust their future to His faithfulness. They were to be God's messenger (malak) to the nations, the means to return exiled humanity to Himself. Near the end Joshua gathers the tribes at Shechem and places the decision before them with absolute clarity. “Choose this day whom you will serve.” That call is not merely ancient. It is perennial. Every generation must decide whether to trust the Lord who keeps His promises or to follow the idols of its age. Joshua concludes on a quiet and triumphant note. The Lord gave Israel rest. Not one of His promises failed. May this reading help us see the same God at work in our own lives, faithful in every generation, leading His people into the inheritance He has prepared.

Jesus Followers Are to Pray Directly to God for “all people” Because God “desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth” MESSAGE SUMMARY: Jesus taught us to pray to God for others and ourselves. We are told, in Hebrews 5:7-8, that Jesus, as a Human, prayed to God in both content and manner as: “In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications {submissive requests}, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence. Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered.". In your personal relationship with God, you can come before God, as Jesus did, on behalf of yourself or others in Intercessory Prayer. You are given the privilege of following Moses' example for Intercessory Prayer because of what Jesus has done for you. Jesus has given you the privilege of entering the Throne Room of God to have access to God the Father – this access to God is through prayer.  In 1 Timothy 2:1-4, we are told the importance if intercessory prayer: “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.".   TODAY'S PRAYER: Unclutter my heart, O God, until I am quiet enough to hear you speak out of the silence. Help me in these few moments to stop, to listen, to wait, to be still, and to allow your presence to envelop me. In Jesus' name, amen.                 Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 23). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because of I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Addictions. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Self-Control. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

"In a life well lived, there's always going to be more things you may want to do than you can do with time, energy, money, and attention." -Carl Richards Stephanie and Kevin welcome Carl Richards, creator of the iconic "Sketch Guy" column in The New York Times, for an inspiring conversation about his latest book, "Your Money: Reimagining Wealth in 101 Simple Sketches." Over 17 years in the making, this collection distills complex financial concepts into simple drawings designed to spark the conversations that truly matter! Each sketch focuses on a single idea, creating entry points for conversations that words alone can't generate. You won't get all the answers, but that's okay! The true goal is to help people start talking about money in meaningful ways. Stephanie and Kevin explore several of their favorite sketches, beginning with "The Getting Ahead Trap": a bar graph showing that money needed to "get ahead" has no top, while money needed for "having enough" is surprisingly small. Makes sense. After all, step zero of financial planning is understanding what's most important to you. Without that clarity, discussions about dollars and vehicles are pointless. Carl emphasizes that "your values are not at war, they're in conversation". That's probably his favorite line in the entire book! "None of us were really taught how to talk about money," Carl reflects, especially the deep conversations about worries and values rather than just CNBC-style market talk. The book gives us permission to be imperfect. Financial planning is educated guessing, goals are guesses, and things change. Not only is that okay, but it's reality. Carl encourages "deep hugs and big spreadsheets" when clients need certainty, while gently helping them understand that precision isn't always possible or necessary. Most importantly, money isn't just math. Algorithms can't feel anxiety about major decisions or pride in achieving goals. Human guidance remains essential, even as technology advances.   Key Topics ·      Creating Conversation Starters, Not Answers (03:35) ·      The Getting Ahead Trap vs. Having Enough (05:03) ·      Real Financial Planning: Money Meets Life (07:27) ·      Values in Conversation, Not at War (09:29) ·      The Price of Silence About Money (12:29) ·      Money Isn't Just Math (15:35) ·      Goals Are Guesses (and That's Okay!)

“Be strong and courageous, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9 The book of Joshua stands at a hinge in Israel's history. The wilderness years end, the promises to Abraham begin to unfold in full view, and the people of God cross a boundary that is both geographical and spiritual. Joshua teaches us that the living God is not an abstraction, a fairy tale or myth. He guides, commands, judges, and saves. Human action is sometimes God's means to achieve His will, but human strength is never the source. The story moves forward because God keeps His word. Again and again Joshua confronts us with this truth. The Jordan does not part until the priests step into the waters. Jericho's walls fall by obedience rather than force. Israel's presumption at Ai yields defeat, and humility restores what pride had lost. Each scene presses the same lesson into the heart. Trust in God is not passive. It is a posture of obedience and submission, taken in the confidence that the Lord Himself goes before His people. Nowhere is this clearer than at the threshold of Jericho. Joshua encounters a mysterious warrior with drawn sword, who identifies Himself as Captain of the Lord's armies. Joshua falls on his face. He removes his sandals. The ground is holy. The One who spoke to Moses from the burning bush now stands before Joshua as Commander. The battle that follows is not Israel's achievement. It is the Lord's, just as he promised. This moment reveals the true theme of the book. The comes through God's presence. He is not simply giving Israel a land. He is forming a people who know Him, follow Him, and entrust their future to His faithfulness. They were to be God's messenger (malak) to the nations, the means to return exiled humanity to Himself. Near the end Joshua gathers the tribes at Shechem and places the decision before them with absolute clarity. “Choose this day whom you will serve.” That call is not merely ancient. It is perennial. Every generation must decide whether to trust the Lord who keeps His promises or to follow the idols of its age. Joshua concludes on a quiet and triumphant note. The Lord gave Israel rest. Not one of His promises failed. May this reading help us see the same God at work in our own lives, faithful in every generation, leading His people into the inheritance He has prepared.

In this episode, Gene Hammett interviews AJ Cassata, founder of Revenue Boost, about AI-driven lead generation in B2B marketing. AJ emphasizes the collaborative use of AI in sales, warns against full outsourcing, and explains his "10-80-10 rule." He discusses the effectiveness of outbound strategies like cold emailing and LinkedIn messaging, stressing the importance of personalization and audience segmentation. AJ recommends tools like Clay.com for automating outreach and concludes with key factors for successful campaigns, urging listeners to embrace AI while maintaining human oversight and persistence. Episode Highlights & Time Stamps 1:15 The Power of AI in Sales 2:57 Challenges in B2B Sales 5:10 Email vs. LinkedIn Effectiveness 8:35 Standing Out on LinkedIn 11:24 Leveraging AI for Personalization 14:18 Common Mistakes in AI Outbound 17:13 The Future of AI in Outbound 20:33 Enhancing Sales with AI 21:57 Key Takeaways for CEOs AI in Modern Sales — Collaboration Over Automation Gene speaks with AJ Cassata, founder of Revenue Boost, about using AI in B2B outbound sales. AJ explains that AI should be treated as a collaborative partner rather than a replacement for human judgment. He cautions against fully outsourcing sales and marketing to AI due to its tendency to "hallucinate" or generate inaccuracies. AJ introduces his "10-80-10 rule," where humans control strategy and final review while AI handles execution at scale. Why Outbound Sales Still Works AJ breaks down why outbound sales, cold email, cold calling, and LinkedIn outreach remain a highly effective and cost-efficient lead generation channel. He emphasizes the importance of testing different approaches and targeting specific industries or companies to generate high-quality leads. The conversation compares email and LinkedIn outreach, noting LinkedIn's higher response rates but lower scalability versus email's broader reach and lower engagement. Personalization, Empathy, and Common Mistakes The discussion turns to practical outreach tactics, with AJ stressing the importance of deep personalization through prospect research and industry understanding. He advises focusing messaging on the prospect's needs rather than promoting services. AJ outlines common AI-powered outbound mistakes, including low outreach volume, generic messaging, and poor audience segmentation, reinforcing that tailored messaging is critical for resonance. Tools, Strategy, and Keys to Success AJ highlights tools like Clay.com that support AI-driven lead research and personalized outreach. He discusses AI's evolving role in sales, particularly for tasks like scheduling and qualification, while underscoring the continued need for human oversight. As the episode concludes, AJ shares five key drivers of outbound success: list quality, messaging, offer strength, outreach volume, and email deliverability. He encourages leaders to experiment, iterate, and remain patient when leveraging AI-powered outbound strategies to grow their sales pipeline. Key Takeaways AI is a force multiplier, not a replacement. AI delivers the best results when paired with human strategy, oversight, and decision-making rather than fully automating sales and marketing functions. Outbound sales remains a high-ROI growth channel. Cold email, cold calling, and LinkedIn outreach continue to produce quality leads at a lower cost compared to many inbound or paid marketing channels. Strategy should follow the 10-80-10 rule. CEOs should stay involved in setting direction and reviewing outcomes while leveraging AI for scalable execution in the middle. Personalization drives performance. Outreach that demonstrates understanding of a prospect's business and challenges consistently outperforms generic, AI-generated messaging. Volume and focus both matter. Effective outbound requires sufficient outreach volume paired with clear segmentation and targeted messaging to avoid diminishing returns. Technology enables scale, not shortcuts. Tools like AI-powered research and personalization platforms can accelerate outbound efforts, but poor inputs still lead to poor results. Human oversight reduces AI risk. AI can hallucinate or make incorrect assumptions, making review and refinement essential before deployment. Five factors determine outbound success. List quality, messaging clarity, offer strength, outreach volume, and email deliverability must all work together for consistent results. Iteration beats perfection. Sustainable outbound success comes from continuous testing, learning, and refinement rather than one-time campaign execution. Leadership mindset matters. CEOs who embrace AI experimentation while maintaining accountability and patience are better positioned to build predictable, scalable pipelines.

Perfect for adults, kids, or babies to sleep through the night - the sound of rain can be remarkably beneficial for enhancing sleep quality and promoting relaxation. Rainfall produces a natural, rhythmic white noise that has a calming effect on the mind and body, making it an excellent tool for aiding sleep. The gentle patter of raindrops creates a consistent and predictable auditory environment, masking disruptive sounds from the surroundings and reducing the likelihood of disturbances that might otherwise interrupt sleep. This continuous sound helps to create a sense of familiarity and security, allowing the brain to disengage from stressors and worries, ultimately leading to a more peaceful and restful slumber. Additionally, the sound of rain triggers a psychological response that is deeply rooted in our evolutionary history. Human beings have evolved in environments where rainfall was a regular occurrence, signifying safety and abundance. As a result, the sound of rain taps into our primal instincts, subconsciously signaling to the brain that it's a time for rest and restoration. This innate connection to the rain's sound can help lower the body's stress hormone levels, such as cortisol, while simultaneously promoting the release of relaxation-inducing neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin. Consequently, the act of listening to rain becomes more than just an auditory experience; it becomes a powerful method for aligning the body with its natural circadian rhythms, ultimately facilitating a deeper and more rejuvenating sleep. In a world characterized by constant stimulation and digital distractions, the simple act of immersing oneself in the sound of rain offers a tranquil escape. The rhythmic and repetitive nature of raindrops creates a meditative ambiance that encourages the mind to unwind and wander, gradually leading to a state of relaxation conducive to falling asleep. Unlike jarring noises or sudden disruptions, the sound of rain is consistent and non-intrusive, allowing the brain to gradually drift into a state of tranquility. This process is akin to mindfulness meditation, where the focus on a single, soothing stimulus—like rain—dissolves racing thoughts and encourages a sense of presence. By creating this mental space, listening to rain becomes a powerful tool for unwinding the mind, releasing tension, and inviting a deep and fulfilling sleep experience. Sweet dreams! DISCLAIMER: Do not turn the volume up so high that you are unable to have a regular conversation. Loud sounds can potentially damage your hearing. While listening, make sure the sound is at a reasonable volume. Do not place speakers next to a child's ears. If you have difficulty hearing or hear ringing in your ears, please immediately discontinue listening and consult an audiologist or physician.

In Genesis, God brought order out of chaos by His Word – and He still does the same in our lives. Human flourishing begins when our lives are rightly ordered under His Word.

Some stories don't arrive all at once. They surface slowly, across years, places, and moments that don't seem connected—until suddenly, they are. In this episode, one listener takes us through a lifetime marked by strange interruptions in the ordinary: nights where sleep refused to come until something unexplained intervened, roads and bridges that felt wrong long before anything actually happened, and workplaces where unseen presences seemed far too invested in how things were done. What makes this story unsettling isn't just the encounters themselves—it's how casually they slipped into everyday life, as if whatever was there never meant to frighten… just to be noticed. Helpful? Maybe. Judgmental? Possibly. Human? That's up for debate. This is a story about patterns, persistence, and the uneasy feeling that some forces don't fade with time—they adapt. And sometimes, the most unsettling encounters aren't dramatic at all. They're quiet. Routine. And very particular about how things should be. #RealGhostStories #TrueParanormal #HauntedLives #UnexplainedEncounters #ListenerStories #ParanormalPodcast #TrueGhostStory #EverydayHauntings #CreepyButTrue #GhostlyExperiences Love real ghost stories?

The Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg was built to educate Canadians about stories of global injustice. Yet in the more than 10 years since it opened, it has not meaningfully acknowledged the dispossession of Palestinians in 1948 that resulted from the founding of Israel. But now the CMHR has announced an exhibit titled Palestine Uprooted: Nakba Past and Present to launch next year. Jonah Corne is an associate professor in the department of English, Theatre, Film and Media at the University of Manitoba. He joins us to talk about the significance of this move.

This episode covers: • Trump Drug Pricing Deals and Access to Longevity Medications New drug-pricing agreements announced under President Donald Trump aim to lower the cost of high-priced prescription drugs through negotiated rebates and pricing pressure on major pharmaceutical companies. Early reporting suggests these changes could affect cardiometabolic and longevity-relevant medications, including GLP-1 diabetes and obesity drugs. Dave explains why the real question is not headline savings, but whether lower prices actually reach patients at the pharmacy counter. He breaks down how affordability shapes real-world access, adherence, and long-term prevention strategies, and why policy decisions can matter more than new mechanisms when it comes to sustainable longevity care. Source: https://longevity.technology/news/trump-sets-new-drug-pricing-deals-with-big-pharma/ • 5:2 Intermittent Fasting Outperforms Daily Dieting on Metabolic Health A controlled study compared three popular strategies in people with obesity and type 2 diabetes: 5:2 intermittent fasting, time-restricted eating, and continuous daily calorie restriction. All approaches improved weight and HbA1c, but the 5:2 protocol produced larger reductions in fasting glucose, triglycerides, and insulin resistance. Dave explains why periodic restriction can outperform constant dieting, how to structure fasting days without tanking performance, and how to pair intermittent fasting with CGM data and training schedules for better metabolic flexibility and long-term health. Source: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/07/250715043351.htm Full paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-025-32673-9 • Cocoa's Theobromine Linked to Slower Epigenetic Aging New research highlighted by Aging-US suggests that theobromine, a bioactive compound found in cocoa, is associated with epigenetic markers of slower biological aging. Dave breaks down what epigenetic aging clocks actually measure, why this finding adds credibility to cocoa's cardiometabolic benefits, and why most chocolate products cancel out the upside with sugar and ultra-processing. He explains how to think about food-derived bioactives without turning them into hype-driven anti-aging shortcuts. Source: https://www.aging-us.com/news-room/theobromine-from-cocoa-linked-to-slower-biological-aging • Organ-Specific Biological Age Clocks Predict Disease Risk More Accurately A large Nature study built biological aging clocks for individual organs using blood-based proteomics, showing that organ-specific aging predicts disease and mortality better than a single “bio age” number. Dave explains why you can be biologically young overall but still have an aging brain, arteries, or kidneys, and how this reframes longevity from generic anti-aging to targeted organ protection. He explores how sleep, blood pressure, glucose control, and exercise map differently to different organs, and why precision aging metrics are the future of prevention. Source: https://www.nature.com/articles/s43587-025-01016-8 • Copper Peptides and the Rise of Skin Longevity Copper peptides like GHK-Cu are moving from niche skincare into serious longevity conversations. Human data show strong effects on collagen synthesis, barrier repair, and wound healing, in some cases outperforming traditional retinoids. Dave explains why skin is not just cosmetic but a key immune and environmental interface, how copper peptides fit into repair-focused protocols, and why cycling repair and stress mirrors smarter approaches to training and recovery across the body.

“Be strong and courageous, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9 The book of Joshua stands at a hinge in Israel's history. The wilderness years end, the promises to Abraham begin to unfold in full view, and the people of God cross a boundary that is both geographical and spiritual. Joshua teaches us that the living God is not an abstraction, a fairy tale or myth. He guides, commands, judges, and saves. Human action is sometimes God's means to achieve His will, but human strength is never the source. The story moves forward because God keeps His word. Again and again Joshua confronts us with this truth. The Jordan does not part until the priests step into the waters. Jericho's walls fall by obedience rather than force. Israel's presumption at Ai yields defeat, and humility restores what pride had lost. Each scene presses the same lesson into the heart. Trust in God is not passive. It is a posture of obedience and submission, taken in the confidence that the Lord Himself goes before His people. Nowhere is this clearer than at the threshold of Jericho. Joshua encounters a mysterious warrior with drawn sword, who identifies Himself as Captain of the Lord's armies. Joshua falls on his face. He removes his sandals. The ground is holy. The One who spoke to Moses from the burning bush now stands before Joshua as Commander. The battle that follows is not Israel's achievement. It is the Lord's, just as he promised. This moment reveals the true theme of the book. The comes through God's presence. He is not simply giving Israel a land. He is forming a people who know Him, follow Him, and entrust their future to His faithfulness. They were to be God's messenger (malak) to the nations, the means to return exiled humanity to Himself. Near the end Joshua gathers the tribes at Shechem and places the decision before them with absolute clarity. “Choose this day whom you will serve.” That call is not merely ancient. It is perennial. Every generation must decide whether to trust the Lord who keeps His promises or to follow the idols of its age. Joshua concludes on a quiet and triumphant note. The Lord gave Israel rest. Not one of His promises failed. May this reading help us see the same God at work in our own lives, faithful in every generation, leading His people into the inheritance He has prepared.

The Kazakh and Mongolian Steppes span 5,000 kilometers west to east along the northern latitude of Asia. This unique ecozone allowed rapid movements of people, animals, goods, and ideas across Eurasia since prehistory and harbored numerous polities of pastoralists that made tremendous impacts on human history. However, the region's dynamic genetic history has been emerging only recently from archaeogenomic studies. Choongwon Jeong of Seoul National University discusses the current understanding of the region's genetic history, including the divergent genetic history of the Kazakh and Mongolian Steppe populations, the genetic interaction between the steppe pastoralists and their neighbors, and a comparison between the genetic history of human and domesticated animal populations. The emerging genetic view illuminates the poorly recorded history of the Kazakh and Mongolian Steppes and provides an interconnected perspective on the history of Eurasia.

What is the Jewish response to existential threat? Is political activism, investment in physical security and self protection the Jewish response? Is increased prayer and good deeds enough, to the exclusion of all else?Using the biblical record of Yaakov's response to Esav in his moment of danger, the Purim story, and the Lubavitcher Rebbe's response to the 1954 massacre in Kfar Chabad, we explore when it is a time to grieve, when it is a time to pray, and when it is a time to mobilize to confront the realities of our world.Episode dedicated to the Refuah Sheleima, the complete healing, of Yehudah Leib Ben Manya._____To inquire about sponsorship & advertising opportunities, please email us at info@humanandholy.comTo support our work, visit humanandholy.com/sponsor.Find us on Instagram @humanandholy & subscribe to our channel to stay up to date on all our upcoming conversations ✨Human & Holy podcast is available on all podcast streaming platforms.

What if the year ahead isn't something you survive but something you intentionally design? As we close out this MAXOUT Your Mind Masterclass series, I want to talk to you about something that might be the most important skill you can develop going into 2026: designing your life on purpose. Too many people drift into a new year hoping things change instead of deciding what they will change. In this final masterclass, I walk you through how to step back, take inventory of your life, and consciously choose what stays, what goes, and what gets rebuilt. I break down the difference between inventing and reinventing your life and why both matter. Your body is constantly renewing itself, shedding old cells and rebuilding new ones. Your mind and spirit deserve the same intentional renewal. I challenge you to stop living on autopilot and start asking better questions. What do you want to feel when you wake up? What kind of progress excites you? What are you actually looking forward to? Because progress creates power, and having something meaningful to move toward is one of the greatest sources of happiness we have. We also talk about why living fully present does not mean abandoning the future. Human beings need something to look forward to. I explain why growth, momentum, and forward vision fuel fulfillment and how chasing progress releases more joy than the moment of achievement itself. If you feel stuck, bored, or disconnected, it might not be because something is wrong with you. It might be because you stopped designing your life and started repeating it. This episode goes deeper into what real happiness and fulfillment actually are. Happiness is fleeting. Fulfillment is lasting. I introduce the concept of blissful dissatisfaction, which allows you to love your life today while still being hungry to grow. We talk about self worth, identity, vulnerability, and why you must be willing to fully engage with your dreams even when there is risk. Playing small protects nothing and costs everything. As you head into 2026, this is your invitation to become the co author of your life again. You are not behind. You are not broken. You are capable of more than you think. This masterclass will help you raise your standards, renew your mindset, and step into the next chapter with clarity, courage, and conviction. The year ahead does not need to be a repeat of the last one. You get to design it. Key Takeaways Why designing your life is a responsibility, not a luxury The difference between happiness and fulfillment and how to build both How progress and growth create lasting motivation and joy What blissful dissatisfaction really means and why it prevents burnout How self worth, vulnerability, and identity shape your results Practical questions to help you intentionally design your best year yet This is the foundation for 2026.

In this episode, Dr. Jockers explores with Jason Prall how mitochondrial health and the gut microbiome are deeply connected, shaping energy, inflammation, and long-term resilience. You'll learn why mitochondria are far more than energy producers and how their communication drives whole-body health.   In this episode, you'll discover how the microbiome helps translate food into signals that influence mitochondrial function, metabolism, and cellular repair. Jason breaks down why diversity in the gut matters and how everyday choices quietly shape this internal dialogue.   In this episode, you'll hear practical insights on how sleep, light exposure, movement, fasting, and stress act as signals that either strengthen or weaken this mitochondrial–microbiome connection. The conversation leaves space to rethink how small lifestyle shifts can create powerful biological change.     In This Episode:  00:00 Introduction to Human and Mitochondrial DNA 04:06 Deep Dive into Mitochondria and Aging 14:01 Understanding the Gut Microbiome 25:38 Environmental Factors Affecting Health 29:19 Mindfulness and Detoxification 29:55 Impact of Thoughts on Health 31:06 Personalized Health Approaches 31:39 Universal Health Strategies 33:43 Importance of Sleep 37:19 Exercise and Movement 41:07 Fasting and Meal Timing 45:48 Stress and Recovery Balance 48:42 Final Thoughts and Resources     If you want practical, natural strategies to balance your hormones, heal your gut, boost your energy, and slow aging, don't miss The Dr. Josh Axe Show.
