“O Lord, rescue me from evil people. Protect me from those who are violent, those who plot evil in their hearts and stir up trouble all day long.” (Psalm 140:1–2 NLT) There’s an old saying that goes, “The more things change, the more they stay the same.” David’s words in Psalm 140 offer compelling evidence of that. David begins the psalm with these words: “O Lord, rescue me from evil people. Protect me from those who are violent, those who plot evil in their hearts and stir up trouble all day long” (verses 1–2 NLT). “Stirring up trouble all day long” is practically a job description for the influencers, trolls, and others who crowd onto modern social media platforms. No gossip is too salacious, no accusation is too offensive for them to reframe for their own purposes, comment on, and spread to others. Like David, we are living in a wicked, vicious time. People today have an unhealthy appetite for gossip and slander—anything that makes others look bad. Once upon a time, this was known as a “tabloid mentality.” But the kind of stuff that once could be found only in supermarket tabloids has spread throughout the ranks of journalism and broadcast media. Hard news has been replaced by attacking partisan commentary. Everyone wants the dirt, especially on those they oppose. Social media has accelerated the decline in journalistic and personal integrity. Civility, courtesy, and empathy seem to be nearing extinction. Take away the technology, and you have a culture that would have been recognizable to David. The “evil people” he referred to in Psalm 140:1 had initiated a carefully planned campaign of slander and lies against him, and it was proving to be effective. You’ve heard the expression, “Good news travels fast.” I suggest to you that bad news travels even faster. It’s been said that a lie is halfway around the world while truth is still putting on its shoes. There’s something about a falsehood that causes it to spread like a wildfire. James knew what he was talking about when he wrote, “And among all the parts of the body, the tongue is a flame of fire. It is a whole world of wickedness, corrupting your entire body. It can set your whole life on fire, for it is set on fire by hell itself” (James 3:6 NLT). David understood what our response should be to the trouble that people stir up. In Psalm 25:4–5, he wrote, “Show me the right path, O Lord; point out the road for me to follow. Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you” (NLT). As believers, we must reject the lies of the world and learn everything we can about God’s truth. We must ask God to lead us, to help us resist the temptation to fight fire with fire when people stir up trouble. We need never concern ourselves about people’s reactions when we’re walking in God’s truth. Reflection question: What would focusing on God’s truth look like in your life?

"I really tried to pay attention to the messages my body was giving me in terms of my foot's recovery, and honor every stage of recovery I was at."After breaking my foot and needing to take an unexpected break from exercise, I realized how much my relationship with food and movement had changed over the years. In this episode, I share five mindset shifts that helped me navigate rest without guilt or spiraling, including understanding my metabolism, finding the positives in slowing down, and listening to my body's signals. I also talk about how building a healthier relationship with food and exercise has helped me adapt when life changes what my body needs, and why true progress is being able to navigate those unexpected seasons without falling back into old diet culture patterns.✅ What You'll Learn:Why understanding metabolism can help us feel more comfortable fueling our bodies when our activity levels changeHow finding the positives in rest can shift our perspective when we're unable to exerciseWhat body attunement can teach us about when to slow down, ease back into movement, and respond to our bodies' signalsHow building our capacity to tolerate difficult emotions can help us cope without relying on restrictive or disconnected eating behaviorsWhy trusting our hunger, fullness, and how food makes us feel can create more confidence around eatingHow a healthy relationship with food and exercise can help us navigate unexpected changes without returning to old diet culture patterns

"Zwei Wochen vor dem Wettkampf kannst du deine Form nicht mehr verbessern, nur noch ruinieren." Stimmt das? Darüber spreche ich in dieser Folge mit Sportmentaltrainerin Olivia Leitmeir. Viele Läufer fühlen sich während der Taperphase überraschend schlecht, obwohl das Training objektiv richtig reduziert wurde. Andere erleben das Gegenteil: Sie fühlen sich leicht, leistungsfähig und voller Energie. Und manche schwanken täglich zwischen beiden Zuständen. Du erfährst, was Tapering ist, was es bewirken soll und was da eigentlich im Körper passiert, damit du zukünftig typische Fehler vermeiden kannst. Wir widmen uns außerdem der Frage, ob der Kopf genau so ein Tapering braucht wie der Körper, damit du am Wettkampftag wirklich deine beste Leistung abrufen kannst.

If you're listening to this because you're experiencing extreme hunger right now or concerned when you allow yourself to eat more you will just not stop — take a deep breath, sis, and hear this special truth: you're not broken, you're probably not binging, and what you're experiencing is not only normal, it's necessary. This one comes straight from a conversation with a client who was terrified. She's doing all the right things in recovery — eating, honoring the process — but she's hungrier and hungrier and can't seem to get satisfied, and she's scared she's going to "blow up." If that's you, this episode is going to hold your hand through what's actually happening in your beautiful, wise body. (And if you're on the opposite end — no appetite at all after years of suppressing it — stay with me too. This episode still serves your journey forward.) What extreme hunger actually is Extreme hunger is your body's natural, intelligent response to any period of restriction or inadequate nourishment. That's it. It's not a malfunction. It's healing in action. And here's what surprises so many women: it can show up at any stage of recovery. Early on as you add foods back in — or, like my client, years later, when your body finally feels safe enough to ask for what it truly needs. Your body is deeply intelligent. You can't out-trick it. It waits until it trusts you enough to express its real needs. The 4 types of hunger you might feel Mechanical hunger — the physical growling, gnawing, bottomless-pit sensation that you just can't seem to fill. Mental hunger — when your brain is constantly obsessing about food, you can't concentrate on anything else, and you're having intense cravings for specific foods. (Mental hunger counts. It's real hunger.) Reactive hunger — eating large amounts quickly, especially of foods you previously feared or restricted. Primal hunger — that desperate, urgent, impossible-to-ignore need to eat. Like pregnancy hunger: fine one second, and the next, like you'll pass out if you don't eat now. In daily life it can look like: being hungry again right after a meal, waking hungry in the night, needing more snacks than before, or feeling unsatisfied even as you finish eating. What's happening in your body When you've restricted — through dieting, eating disorder behaviors, or simply not eating enough for your needs — your metabolism slows to conserve energy because your body believes it's in a famine. In recovery, it's suddenly doing many jobs at once: speeding your metabolism back up, repairing your organs, bones, hair, and skin, replenishing energy reserves, and — most importantly — learning to trust that food will be consistently available. Research on recovery from starvation (and yes, eating disorders involve starvation, even if you were never classified as underweight) shows people often need significantly more energy than "normal" for an extended time. Your hunger is your body doing exactly what it's designed to do. 4 myths keeping you stuck Myth 1: Everyone experiences extreme hunger in recovery. Not true — bodies and needs differ. If you do experience it, you're not wrong. If you don't, that's okay too. Myth 2: Extreme hunger is wrong or bad. It's your body's wisdom in action. It's the same category of healing as your period returning, or your hair getting shiny, or your glow coming back. Myth 3: Extreme hunger means you're binging. This is the big one. Extreme hunger is a biological necessity driven by your body's needs. Binge eating is often driven by restriction and psychological factors — a different thing entirely. When you're healing, your body genuinely needs large amounts of food. It can feel like a binge because you're so used to eating small amounts. It isn't. It's honoring. Myth 4: If you honor it, you'll blow up and gain a bunch of weight. The truth: your body settles at its natural point once it feels nourished and can trust you. It's the cycle — feed, restrict, over-exercise, restrict — that keeps your body from ever finding that place. Honoring hunger is what builds the trust. How to navigate it — strategies that actually work Honor your hunger. Eat when you're hungry, as much as you're hungry, for whatever you're hungry for. No arbitrary limits on portions, frequency, or "waiting an hour." You're not breaking a rule — you're breaking an eating disorder rule. Challenge her. When the voice says "that's too much" or "you're being greedy," answer: "My body is healing. This is temporary. My body knows what it needs. Honoring my hunger is my job right now." Don't compensate. No over-exercising, no skipping meals the next day, no returning to old patterns. You're not eating too much — you're eating what your body needs. (And if you're not feeling hungry, feed yourself regularly anyway. You can't expect hunger cues to return until your body trusts it has permission to eat. Your job is to grant the permission.) Include all kinds of foods. Your body craves dense, satisfying foods for a reason — nuts, nut butters, carbs, fats, proteins all serve real functions in healing. You can't fill extreme hunger with salads and veggies alone; your body will just keep upping the ante because it knows it's being tricked. Honor it with real satisfaction. Practice self-compassion. Remember your why. Speak to yourself with the gentleness you'd give someone you love. A few lines from the episode "You're not broken, you're probably not binging, and what you're experiencing is normal and necessary." "Extreme hunger is your body's way of healing. Honoring it is one of the bravest things you'll ever do." "Why am I upset that I'm hungry? Am I upset that my body needs air in my lungs?" "Your body is incredibly intelligent. You're not going to out-trick it." "It's not your job to judge. It's your job to honor." "This hunger is my body healing. This is temporary. My body knows what it needs." Your gentle reminder this week If extreme hunger hits, practice one phrase: "This is my body healing, and honoring it is my job right now." Keep easy, satisfying go-to foods within reach. Don't compensate. And notice — as your body learns it can trust you, the hunger settles into normal patterns. It won't spiral forever. It's asking for trust, not trying to harm you. You don't have to navigate this alone Honoring extreme hunger is scary, and doing it with someone in your corner makes all the difference. This is exactly the kind of thing I walk through with my one-on-one clients — challenging the voice, holding you accountable, and helping you honor your body in a way that's scalable and doesn't send you into a freak-out zone.

Kann man ein Knie, ein Gefühl oder einen alten Glaubenssatz heilen, indem man Energie und Licht mit einer neuen Information füllt? Das klingt erst mal nach Aluhut – hat aber eine überraschend nachvollziehbare Logik.

In diesem Feelgood Friday nimmt er Joel, der es selbst schon ausprobiert hat, mit auf eine ehrliche und immer wieder kritisch hinterfragte Reise in die energetische Heilarbeit. Wir sprechen darüber, warum Dominik lieber von Transformation als von Manifestation spricht, wie Glaubenssätze und Epigenetik als „Bremssteine“ wirken, was der „Karma-Rucksack“ der Ahnen damit zu tun hat – und warum du vorsichtig sein solltest, was du dir wünschst.

“Okay, if these people believe in me, then I need to maybe learn to believe in myself, even just a little bit, or at least have hope that things can change.”In this episode, I'm joined by registered associate nutritionist and author Joshua Hills for a heartfelt conversation about how his mom's decades-long battle with anorexia shaped their family, and how recovery has transformed their lives. Together, we explore the far-reaching impact of food struggles, the role diet culture plays in fueling shame and disordered eating, and why healing is about so much more than food. Joshua shares powerful lessons about compassion, open conversations, and hope, reminding us that no matter where we fall on the spectrum of food struggles, recovery can lead to greater freedom, deeper connection, and a life filled with joy instead of fear.✅ What You'll Learn:Why food struggles affect far more than just what we eatHow opening up about food struggles can create connection, reduce shame, and become a powerful step toward healingWhat recovery can make possible, from enjoying family meals and social events to rediscovering excitement for life and foodHow to approach difficult conversations with loved ones about food using compassion, empathy, and healthy boundariesThe role diet culture plays in reinforcing food guilt, body judgment, and the belief that food must be earned
In this very important re-airing of Add Passion and Stir, Navyn Salem, founder and CEO of the malnutrition social enterprise Edesia, discusses our shared humanity in caring for children all over the world. Edesia produces fortified, peanut-based products like Plumpy'Nut for humanitarian agencies like UNICEF, World Food Programme, and other NGOs working in emergency and conflict zones.“We feed children everywhere because that's what humanity is, and we do not want to lose our humanity. We are smart enough. We have enough resources. We're creative and innovative enough to feed every child on planet Earth,” Salem asserts.Edesia has been impacted by Trump Administration decisions around foreign aid in the last seven months. “I started speaking up and explaining to people that huge parts of humanitarian assistance that the US government does are a win-win for the world and they have to be continued,” she says.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In this science-backed episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling break down why when you eat matters just as much as what you eat for fasting success. They unpack new research showing that eating the exact same calories just four hours later in the day can leave you hungrier, burn less energy, and push your body toward storing fat instead of using it. The hosts explain how this comes down to a shift in hormone signals — specifically a drop in your body's natural fullness cue — rather than an actual spike in hunger itself. They connect this to real-life patterns many listeners fall into, like relying on dinner as the main meal or getting pulled into unplanned late-night eating, and why earlier fasting windows tend to set people up for more consistent results. Scott and Tommy also share practical ways to offset a later meal when it can't be avoided, including prioritizing protein and adding a short walk afterward. The episode reinforces one of the show's core themes: fasting isn't about skipping meals, it's about choosing when to eat so your body's natural rhythms work with you instead of against you. Listeners are encouraged to shift their eating window just one to two hours earlier this week and pay attention to how their hunger and sleep quality respond.

In late July, just two days before the first of the month, a line of Oregonians stood waiting for free food. At the Dallas food bank in the Willamette Valley countryside, the hunger crisis gripping Oregon was on full display. Alexis Arechiga, 28, struggles to afford snacks for church and sporting events with her two kids. Corrina Campbell, 32, visits the food bank twice a week, and says feeding her two kids means that on some nights she goes to sleep hungry. The high cost of groceries and the federal government’s cuts to SNAP benefits have left more Oregonians struggling to afford food. Food assistance programs like food banks are stretched thin trying to meet the growing demand for help. “Usually it’s pretty full,” said food bank manager Eddie Nelson as she opened a freezer. “But as you can tell our freezers are getting empty.” In this week’s episode, Evergreen producer Mía Estrada and reporter Bryce Dole spend about 24 hours in Dallas. They bring us along for one day at free, local food programs in rural Oregon. For more Evergreen episodes and to share your voice with us, visit our showpage.

On this episode of Closed!, Mike sits down with Joel Berg, CEO of Hunger Free America, a nationwide anti-hunger advocacy and direct service organization headquartered in New York City.The conversation centers on New York's proposed city-owned, privately operated grocery stores, which are intended to offer essential foods at roughly 30 percent below retail prices. Joel breaks down what the proposal could accomplish, where it may fall short, and why five grocery stores alone cannot solve a hunger crisis affecting more than one million New Yorkers.Joel also discusses the deeper causes of food insecurity, including low wages, rising rent, high childcare and healthcare costs, cuts to SNAP, and the limits of relying on food pantries and soup kitchens to fill gaps in the social safety net. The episode also explores how food access fits into New York's broader affordability crisis, why food is often left out of urban planning, and what it would take to build a city where nutritious food is accessible to everyone.To learn more about Joel Berg and Hunger Free America, visit hungerfreeamerica.org.To learn more about Mike and Bergstein Flynn Knowlton & Pollina PLLC, visit bfkplaw.comTo find out more about Bergstein Flynn Knowlton & Pollina PLLC, visit our website at bfkplaw.com.

What is food noise, and why do so many of us feel trapped by food rules? In this episode, I'm joined by registered dietitian, nutrition expert, and creator of Abbey's Kitchen, Abbey Sharp (@abbeyskitchen), for an honest conversation about what it really means to build a healthy relationship with food.We dive into the concept of food noise, why restrictive food rules often backfire, and how diet culture can disconnect us from our body's natural hunger and fullness cues. Abbey shares practical strategies for finding more peace with food, letting go of guilt, and creating sustainable habits that support both your physical and mental well-being.We also talk about her new book, The Hunger Crushing Combo, where she introduces her signature Hunger Crushing Combo™ method—a simple, evidence-based approach to building satisfying meals with protein, fiber, and healthy fats to help you stay fuller longer while supporting a balanced relationship with food.Whether you're tired of constantly thinking about food, struggling with restrictive eating patterns, or simply looking for a healthier, more balanced approach to nutrition, this conversation is packed with actionable insights and compassionate advice.Connect with Abbey:Instagram: @abbeyskitchenConnect with Nicole:

In Land of Famished Beings: West Papuan Theories of Hunger (Duke UP, 2025), Sophie Chao examines how Indigenous Marind communities understand and theorize hunger in lowland West Papua, a place where industrial plantation expansion and settler-colonial violence are radically reconfiguring ecologies, socialities, and identities. Instead of seeing hunger as an individual, biophysical state defined purely in nutritional, quantitative, or human terms, Chao investigates how hunger traverses variably situated humans, animals, plants, institutions, infrastructures, spirits, and sorcerers. When approached through the lens of Indigenous Marind philosophies, practices, and protocols, hunger reveals itself to be a multiple, more-than-human, and morally imbued modality of being—one whose effects are no less culturally crafted or contested than food and eating. In centering Indigenous feminist theories of hunger, Chao offers new ways of thinking about the relationship between the environment, food, and nourishment in an age of self-consuming capitalist growth. She also considers how Indigenous theories invite anthropologists to reimagine the ethics and politics of ethnographic writing and the responsibilities, hesitations, and compromises that shape anthropological commitments in and beyond the field. Dr Sophie Chao is Senior Lecturer in Anthropology at the University of Sydney, author of In the Shadow of the Palms: More-Than-Human Becomings in West Papua, and coeditor of The Promise of Multispecies Justice, both also published by Duke University Press.

When approached through the lens of Indigenous Marind philosophies, practices, and protocols, hunger reveals itself to be a multiple, more-than-human, and morally imbued modality of being—one whose effects are no less culturally crafted or contested than food and eating. In centering Indigenous feminist theories of hunger, Chao offers new ways of thinking about the relationship between the environment, food, and nourishment in an age of self-consuming capitalist growth. She also considers how Indigenous theories invite anthropologists to reimagine the ethics and politics of ethnographic writing and the responsibilities, hesitations, and compromises that shape anthropological commitments in and beyond the field. Dr Sophie Chao is Senior Lecturer in Anthropology at the University of Sydney, author of In the Shadow of the Palms: More-Than-Human Becomings in West Papua, and coeditor of The Promise of Multispecies Justice, both also published by Duke University Press.

Den ganzen Tag nehmen wir Gedanken, Gefühle und Körperempfindungen wahr – und halten dieses Muster für uns selbst. Aber was, wenn du all das nur beobachtest? Dann muss da etwas sein, das wahrnimmt: dein Bewusstsein. Dominik Probst begann als Teenager mit Energiearbeit und Reiki, ging nach Indien, meditierte – und ist heute Physiotherapeut, Heilpraktiker und Speaker, der „Mann mit den goldenen Händen“. In diesem Feelgood Friday nimmt er Joel mit auf eine sehr persönliche und überraschend praktische Reise ins Thema Bewusstsein. Wir sprechen darüber, warum du nicht deine Gedanken bist, was Non-Dualität mit bedingungsloser Liebe zu tun hat, wie eine kleine Übung das Gefühl auflösen kann, die handelnde Person zu sein – und was Reinkarnation und „unfinished business“ damit zu tun haben. Du erfährst... … warum du nicht deine Gedanken, Gefühle und deinen Körper bist, sondern das, was sie wahrnimmt … was Bewusstsein mit bedingungsloser Liebe und Non-Dualität zu tun hat … wie eine kurze Übung das Gefühl auflösen kann, die handelnde Person zu sein … warum Reinkarnation weniger mit Sterben und mehr mit „unfinished business“ zu tun hat __________________________ ||||| PERSONEN |||||
Following last's week review, Ice Cream Man became a huge talking point on the internet. At the time of recording, the use of AI had not been revealed. And though we thought the movie should be avoided in theaters, we also thought it was worth streaming. Our opinions have not changed, but we do follow it to discuss Eli Roth's latest release. This leads into a discussion about Touch Grass. The upcoming movie is an AI-generated horror movie. Unsurprisingly, this has upset a good amount of people But how does it tie into the next V/H/S release? Plus another remake of a 1980s “classic”. The Hunger from 1983 is one of the most unique movies we have ever covered on our humble little podcast. On the surface, there does not seem to be anything outstanding about it. It is a tale about a vampire grappling with immortality and lost loves. Watching the movie is a whole other matter. There is not much to the story-at least anything that is there will require a lot of guesswork and filling in the gaps by the viewer. But it looks incredible. The Hunger clearly influenced the music videos and erotic thrillers that would come to dominate the 80s. We discuss its legacy and why it is not talked about more..

Can you get the benefits of fasting without actually having to fast?Josh Trent welcomes Dr. Chris Rhodes, PhD in Nutritional Biochemistry and founder of Mimio Health, to the Wellness + Wisdom podcast, episode 828, to break down the science of fasting, why the 36-hour window is where the real magic happens, and how four specific molecules can mimic everything a prolonged fast does to your cells without skipping a single meal.
Today, Clancy sits down with David Blais, Founder and CEO of Daniel's Table in Massachusetts. David shares how a simple sandwich outreach grew into an organization rethinking how communities respond to food insecurity. Together, they discuss why collaboration is the key to lasting change, how dignity should shape every interaction with people seeking food assistance, and why nonprofits must focus on building stronger relationships alongside stronger food systems.
Sign up for my free newsletter/1 page action plansIn this episode of Live Long and Well, Dr. Bobby looks at the evidence behind breakfast—not as a slogan, but as a real-life question: what problem is breakfast solving?For some people, breakfast may help with blood sugar, protein intake, morning exercise, or avoiding late-day overeating. For others, skipping breakfast may work perfectly well. And for many adults, “breakfast” may really mean coffee—which can improve alertness and exercise performance, but is not the same as food, protein, fiber, or fuel.Dr. Bobby also explores where the breakfast slogan came from, including its ties to cereal companies, health reformers, and early public relations campaigns. The episode then compares breakfast, lunch, and dinner through three practical questions:Does this meal help my body and health?Weight, blood sugar, disease risk, protein, and muscle.Does this meal help me perform today?Exercise, energy, focus, cognition, and school performance.Does this meal help me live well?Family rhythm, connection, and the social meaning of meals.The conclusion: there is probably no single “most important meal” for everyone. The best meal is the one that helps you live the day you are actually trying to live.In this episodeWhy “breakfast is the most important meal” may be more marketing than medical factWhat observational studies suggest about breakfast skipping and heart disease riskWhy healthy-user bias makes breakfast research trickyWhat randomized trials show about breakfast, skipping breakfast, weight loss, and metabolismHow chrononutrition raises a better question: are we eating too much too late?Why coffee may help you skip breakfast—but does not replace breakfast nutritionallyWhen eating before morning exercise mattersWhat we know about breakfast, cognition, and school performance in childrenWhy “hangry” may be realHow breakfast, lunch, and dinner each serve different rolesHow to decide whether breakfast matters for youKey takeawaysBreakfast does not magically turn on your metabolism.Randomized trials do not show that simply adding breakfast leads to meaningful weight loss.Skipping breakfast is not automatically harmful.It may work well for some people, especially if it reduces total calories without causing overeating later.The observational data are complicated.Breakfast skippers often look less healthy in long-term studies, but they may also smoke more, sleep less, exercise less, work irregular schedules, or eat more late at night.Chrononutrition gives breakfast its strongest argument.The body may handle calories better earlier in the day than late at night. The issue may be less “everyone must eat breakfast” and more “be careful about pushing most calories to the evening.”Coffee is not breakfast.Coffee may improve alertness and exercise performance, and it may reduce appetite for a while. But it is not protein, fiber, or fuel.Kids are different.For a hungry child, breakfast may matter for learning readiness, behavior, and attention.Exercise changes the answer.For a short, easy workout, coffee and water may be enough. For a long run, long ride, intervals, or race-like effort, food or carbohydrate may help.Dinner may win the connection argument.Shared meals are strongly linked with well-being. Dinner may not be best for blood sugar, but it may be powerful for family, friendship, and decompression.Lunch deserves more respect.Lunch may be the underrated meal that prevents the 3 p.m. slump and the 9 p.m. snack attack.A practical experimentRather than adopting a slogan, try a personal experiment.For two weeks, eat a real breakfast with protein, fiber, and minimal added sugar. Track your hunger, mood, exercise quality, afternoon energy, evening snacking, and sleep.Then, if it is safe for you, try two weeks of delaying or skipping breakfast while keeping your coffee/caffeine routine consistent.Ask yourself:Do I feel better or worse?Do I eat less overall—or make it up later?Are my workouts better or worse?Am I sharper or more irritable?Does skipping breakfast lead to a chaotic dinner?Am I still getting enough protein?The question is not whether breakfast works in theory. The question is whether breakfast works for you.Who should be more cautious about skipping breakfast?Be more careful with breakfast skipping if you are a child or adolescent, pregnant, diabetic, prone to low blood sugar, have a history of eating disorders, do long or intense morning workouts, or struggle to get enough protein—especially as an older adult.Dr. Bobby's bottom lineFor me, breakfast is not the most important meal most days.If I have a long workout ahead, I eat breakfast. Coffee alone is not enough.If I am just writing, reading, or working in the morning, coffee may be enough until I am actually hungry.And if I am eating with family or friends, breakfast matters for a different reason. Sometimes the table matters more than the eggs.Maybe breakfast is not the most important meal of the day.Maybe it is the most marketed.The most important meal is the one that helps you live the day you are actually trying to live.

The Rao family in Maryland knew that something was different about their younger daughter, Ayoni, almost as soon as she was born. But it took them until she was five to get a diagnosis of Prader-Willi Syndrome, a rare genetic condition that causes extreme, insatiable hunger. Food needs to be locked away from many of these patients, or they might eat until their stomachs actually rupture. Dan visits the Raos at their home to learn more about how they manage Ayoni's condition, then cooks and eats dinner with the family. Dan also talks with Zayd Anwarzai, a 25-year-old with PWS, about what it's like when he knows he's eaten enough, but his stomach tells him otherwise. And Dan speaks with Dr. Jennifer Miller, the leading PWS expert in the country. Check out Colors of Hope, the organization that Dini Rao founded to help families of color who are living with PWS.

In today's Morning Manna, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart examine Proverbs 27:7–8 and two dangers that can quietly weaken the Christian life: losing our spiritual appetite and wandering from the place God has given us. Solomon teaches that a satisfied soul can despise even honey, while genuine hunger can make bitter things sweet. He then pictures the vulnerability of a bird wandering from its nest. This lesson challenges believers to guard their hunger for God, recognize when comfort has dulled their desire for His Word, and value the relationships, calling, church, and community in which God has established them. Spiritual hunger prepares us to receive, while rooted faithfulness provides protection, stability, and room to grow.

Loneliness isn't just about being alone, it's about being unseen, unwoven, unplaced. This week we name the deep human ache to belong to something larger than ourselves, and ask what it would take to become a community that tends that fire in each other. LINKS: Keepers of the Fire | Connect | YouTube | Coming Up TRANSCRIPT: The Ache This Week I want to describe a feeling and see if you know what I'm talking about: You're surrounded by people— at work, online, maybe even in a room full of friends— and you still feel somehow... unplaced. Like you're present but not quite part of something. Like everyone else knows how to belong and you missed the orientation. Literally happened to me. That's not just loneliness in the ordinary sense. It's something deeper. The ache to be woven in. To matter to a specific group of people who also matter to you. To not just be known, but needed. Do you know this feeling? Yeah! Today, on this final week of Keepers of the Fire, I want to name that ache directly. Because I think it might be the one underneath all the others we've explored this summer. One thing; this is actually an ache, a yearning that has gotten a lot of attention. The Epidemic Three years ago, in 2023, the United States Surgeon General Vivek Murthy did something unusual; he issued a formal public health advisory declaring loneliness an epidemic. A crisis. The statistic he cited was that about one in two American adults reported experiencing loneliness— and social isolation increases the risk of premature death by 29 PERCENT. That's comparable to the health impact of smoking fifteen cigarettes a day. We have entire cultural infrastructures built around discouraging smoking. We have almost nothing built around discouraging isolation. And then to make it worse, the money-grabbing internet “manosphere” has very carefully and intentionally targeted young boys and young adult men to believe that they have no agency, and that their feelings of loneliness are the fault of others, like women or the feminist movement! I want to say outright: that's a lie. Loneliness isn't just an issue for boys and men, they've just been most successfully convinced they're especially isolated, and then that false premise has been weaponized against others. To be clear: loneliness is a problem, but it isn't isolated to a particular group of American adults. Some demographic groups seem to have more access to emotional and relational skills than others… catch my drift? In an interview with Kate Bowler, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy said loneliness is like HUNGER or THIRST— a signal the body sends when something we need for survival is missing. This is biology. We were created— literally, neurologically— for each other. Matthew Lieberman, a neuroscientist at UCLA, found that the brain processes social pain— rejection, exclusion, being cut off— in the same regions it processes physical pain. Being unplaced from community doesn't just hurt emotionally. It hurts, the way a broken bone hurts. So when you feel the ache for belonging— that persistent, restless sense that you're APART FROM something you were made to be A PART OF— your nervous system is telling you the truth. Pay attention to it. Belonging vs. fitting in Just a quick tangent here to say that belonging is not the same as fitting in. Fitting in is when you adjust yourself to be ACCEPTABLE. You figure out what the group rewards, what gets you included, and you perform accordingly. It's exhausting. And it doesn't actually satisfy the ache— because the version of you that got accepted isn't really you. Belonging is different. Belonging is when you show up as you ACTUALLY ARE — complicated, unfinished, uncertain — and find that there's a place for that person anyway. That you don't have to earn your way in or maintain a performance to stay. Loneliness isn't just about being alone. It's about being unseen. Unwoven. You can be lonely in a crowd, in a marriage, even in a congregation— if the version of you that's present isn't the real one. The ache for belonging is the ache to stop PERFORMING and start BEING YOURSELF. Bring your weird into the room. Let that freak flag fly, baby. What the early community attempted There's a description in the book of Acts of the earliest Jesus community that has always struck me as both beautiful and worth taking seriously: 'All those who trusted in Jesus were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts.' Now, I'm not going to tell you to sell everything and move into a commune (this isn't actually a cult!). But I want to linger here for a moment. In the ancient Greco-Roman world, your identity was determined by your bloodline, your ethnicity, your class, your gender. In Greco-Roman culture, people claimed ethnic identity from ancestors— you were literally born into your customs and beliefs. Religion was in the blood. The idea that people from different ethnic backgrounds, different economic classes, enslaved people alongside free people, women alongside men, could gather at the same table as equals— that was radical. Historically disruptive. The earliest Jesus communities articulated a vision— particularly in Paul's letter to the Galatians: 'neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female'— that cut directly against the social order of their world. Now— did they always live up to it? No. The historical record is honest about that. The vision outran the practice, as it usually does. Early Christianity quickly developed its own in-group dynamics, its own hierarchies, its own failures. This is not a fairy tale. But here's what matters: they attempted something the world around them said was impossible. They tried to build a community where the usual sorting mechanisms— wealth, status, ethnicity, gender— didn't get to have the final word. Where the table was wider than the culture thought was reasonable. That attempt— that stubborn, imperfect attempt— became one of the most transformative ongoing social experiments in human history. Not because they got it perfectly right. But because they kept reaching toward a vision that the world kept calling naive. Sound familiar? We get to be a part of that legacy. I want that for us. What we're up against Cynicism, though, is alive and well. When someone talks about building systems that actually take care of people — a real safety net, genuine healthcare, communities where everyone has enough — they hear: too expensive. naive. Unrealistic. Even the christian-adjacent politicized wing of the American Church has mostly taken that vision and turned it into an afterlife destination called “Heaven” that has little to do with the here and now, and is only attained through perfect behavior and putting up with unjust systems without reacting to it. When someone talks about the kind of belonging where you don't have to earn your place, where you're welcomed as you are regardless of what you produce or contribute— they hear: that's not how the world works. grow up. When someone talks about the vision Jesus articulated… a world where the hungry are fed, the lonely are placed, the marginalized are centered… they hear: nice idea. impractical. The cynics have always tried to be louder than the dreamers. And the dreamers have always been the ones who got anything done. Here's what I've been thinking about all summer, across these six weeks: the barriers to our yearning are real. The barriers to belonging are real. Some of them are structural; the way adult life is organized makes deep community hard to build. The built-in consistent access we had in school doesn't recreate itself automatically. The institutions that used to create connection have weakened. Many only experience anything resembling that kind of connection as a “perk” of staying employed in the same job long enough. But some of the barriers are internal. I think we can say that, without shame. We wait. We wait for someone else to organize it. We wait for the perfect moment, the house clean enough to host in, the enough energy, the right invitation. We treat belonging as something that should come find us rather than something we actively, courageously seek out... Priya Parker, who has spent her career studying how and why humans gather (The Art of Gathering), makes this point: when the focus of a gathering is on the 'stuff' of the event, we shrink a human challenge down to a logistical one. The mess isn't what keeps people away. The story we tell ourselves about why now isn't the right time— that's what keeps people away. VIDEO: Priya Parker x Ezra Klein on The Art of Gathering Connection takes courage. Belonging takes risk. Showing up and saying I want to be part of something, and I want you to be part of it with me— that's vulnerable in ways our culture doesn't reward. But it is, I believe, exactly what we were made for. The barrier practice and the vision As I wrap up here— one question. What gets in the way of your own belonging? What keeps you from reaching toward the connection you actually ache for? Maybe it's a wound— a time you tried and got hurt. Maybe it's the pace of your life. Maybe it's the belief that you're too much, or not enough, or that it's too late to start. Maybe it's the persistent, inculturated voice that says: just be content with what you have. stop wanting more. Whatever it is — write it down. Or draw it. Don't overthink it. Just name it. In a few minutes we're going to take those outside to the fire. And we're going to offer them to it as a symbolic act of saying: I don't want this to have as much power over me as it has. I want to keep reaching. Because here's the vision I want to leave you with— the one that has anchored this whole series for me. Ever heard of the book of Revelation? It's at the tail-end of the Bible, and when read literally, it admittedly sounds insane. But it's not a history book, it's a vision, a poem, a love-letter to a Church positioned against empire dominance— and at the end of it, there's an image of the world finally, fully healed. And here's how it's described: 'God's dwelling place is now among the people.' Among the people. The ache for belonging, finally answered— not by escape from community, but by the deepest possible immersion in it. That's the direction the whole story has been pointing. A world where the hungry are fed and the lonely are placed and the fearful are made safe and the weary finally rest and everyone gets to play and purpose gets to flourish— not someday in a far-off future, but here, practiced imperfectly, begun now, by us. The cynics will always call it naive. You know by now I think that's a compliment. The fire in your belly— The Ache— is not a problem. It's a compass. And the world needs more people willing to follow it together, rather than carrying it alone. Tend the fire. For yourself. For each other. For the world that could be. May it be so.
