Dave Schwartz makes his weekly appearance on Drivetime with DeRusha for some sports talk that's mostly dominated by hockey today. Dave and Dan talk about what makes the World Junior Championships special. They then wade into the Vikings Christmas Day performance where their defense forced 6 takeaways. In their second segment, Dan and Dave talk about Tiger Woods and how he's making Dan feel old.

This is a powerful activation designed to awaken and amplify your innate protective field—the luminous shield that exists within your energy body, ready to be fully activated. Through this experience, you engage the quantum protection matrix that surrounds you at all times. You activate the impenetrable field of light that deflects negativity, repels lower frequencies, and creates a sacred boundary between your energy and anything that does not serve your highest good. This activation works on multiple levels—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual—establishing boundaries that honor your sovereignty while allowing love and abundance to flow freely to you. You become untouchable by drama, immune to energy vampires, and shielded from psychic interference. Your protection field is not something you create—it already exists. This activation simply turns it on, amplifies its power, and locks it into place. Welcome to The Reality Revolution.  

Back to the roots! For this Fondue, we put aside the modern stuff and go old school to celebrate the feel-good classics that started it all.

If you love bass guitars, brass sections, and vocals with soul, this mix is for you → hit play and let the good times roll. 📺 This is Episode 219 of the Summer Fondue Sessions radioshow, originally an audio‑only show, now in the video format → watch this mix on YT at https://youtu.be/qlez4chJgss 🌐 More information and show archive with tracklists → https://www.summerfondue.com 🙏🏼 Please support the artists making this great music: follow them, stream their work, and buy their releases to help keep the scene thriving!

Short clip of the convo available here: https://youtu.be/rM8OGWNenhg Rodger starts by talking about what’s changed for him since releasing his pivotal book in 2007, The History of Last Night’s Dream. He talks about dream images in the context of images in memory and perception and  about the power of images to bring feeling, whether those images are from waking life, from memory, or from dreams. We also talk about biophilia, the power of radical amazement, and finding meaning in waking life moments. You can find a description of his blessing practice for free at howimagesheal.com After the break we take a call from Kat from Delaware who asks about how to work with more difficult images which brings up a discussion about feeling vs reacting. Max in the studio asks how this practice is applied to waking life experiences. And finally the caller Donna, from Cleveland OH asks about anxiety and Rodger replies that terror is the perfect cure for anxiety. Rodger ends by telling us about his workshop series that begins January 14.

New Year, New Diamond Intimacy — Imagination ...Designing the Intimacy You Want In this second episode of the New Year, New Diamond Intimacy series, Dr. Sonia invites you to move beyond reflection and into vision. Rather than recreating intimacy from the past, this episode focuses on intentionally designing intimacy that fits the woman you are now. Dr. Sonia encourages you to release outdated definitions of sex and desire and instead explore what intimacy could feel like when it truly supports you—emotionally, physically, and energetically. You'll reflect on how you want intimacy to feel in the year ahead, identify what no longer serves you, and begin imagining intimacy as something you choose, not manage. This episode is about possibility, permission, and creating a future that feels aligned rather than pressured. ✨ This episode also shares information about The New Year, New Diamond Intimacy Experience, a high-touch coaching opportunity for women ready to turn vision into intentional, supported change.

In this episode of History Speaks, Dr. Roshan Iqbal sits down with Dr. Martin Nguyen, author of Modern Muslim Theology: Engaging God and the World with Faith and Imagination, to explore what it means to imagine a “Muslim Malcolm X.” Together, they discuss how Malcolm's faith shaped his vision of justice, community, and how retelling his story from the vantage point of his religious imagination invites us to see him anew. This conversation reflects on Malcolm X not only as a civil rights icon, but as a transformative Muslim thinker whose legacy continues to nourish contemporary struggles for liberation.

New Orleans has a way of blurring the line between celebration and something far older. On a night meant for music, noise, and escape, one woman stepped into a familiar place expecting nothing more than a quick break from the crowd. Instead, she walked out questioning whether she'd crossed into something unseen—and whether it had noticed her first. What happened inside that restroom wasn't loud or theatrical. It was sudden. Physical. Impossible to ignore. And it left behind more questions than answers—questions that followed her long after she left the building. When she eventually returned to the same club, the space felt different. Details stood out that hadn't before. The atmosphere carried weight. And the memory of that moment refused to stay buried. Was it coincidence? Imagination? Or something in that room still waiting to be acknowledged? #RealGhostStories #NewOrleansHaunting #TrueParanormal #HauntedPlaces #UnexplainedEncounters #GhostStoriesPodcast #ParanormalExperience #SomethingFollowedMe #TrueGhostStory #CreepyEncounters Love real ghost stories?

In this episode, Katie talks with Charley Johnson about his leap into independent work through his newsletter, Untangled, and what it takes to build a life and career outside traditional structures. Charley breaks down how power actually moves through technology, why many leaders still misread the systems they operate within, and how imagination—not just strategy—shapes better futures. He shares the blind spots he sees most often in tech and policy, the role community plays in sustaining meaningful change, and how AI fits into the broader landscape of systems transformation. Charley closes with an honest reflection on success—what he's letting go of, what he's moving toward, and why metrics alone will never tell the full story.Learn more about Charley's upcoming workshops: 1) Mapping Your System: How to Navigate Power, People & Change in Uncertain Times and 2) Beyond the Principles: How to Make Responsible AI Real, A 3-Part Intensive for Tech & Society Leaders.Takeaways* Independent work can be both disorienting and deeply energizing.* Power in tech often operates invisibly, yet shapes outcomes everywhere.* Building community is essential for meaningful, sustainable change.* Many leaders misinterpret data as neutral rather than value-laden.* Technology must be aligned with a clear, intentional vision of the future.* Cynicism limits possibility; curiosity expands it.* AI is a tool—not an answer to systemic problems.* True success is grounded in fulfillment and relationships, not just scale.* Understanding systems is essential to influencing them.* Imagination is a critical—yet underrated—skill in tech and policy.Chapters* 00:00 Mapping Power and Technology* 22:45 The Journey of Independence* 27:39 Navigating Content Creation* 33:02 Defining Success and AI Perspectives* 38:30 Building Businesses with Purpose* 39:00 Looking Ahead: Technology and Future PlanningAnchor Change with Katie Harbath is a reader-supported publication.

Has a child ever told you that she or he sees ghosts?  A personal experience inspired us to dive into the fascinating possibility that children are simply more in-tune w/ their spiritual side than world-weary adults, and thus more adept at "seeing" and/or "communicating" with the OTHER side...We laughed, we cried, we solved the world's problems....Well, the laughing part is true.  #ghosts #paranormal #haunted #HauntedChildren #TheOtherSide #Seers

In this thought-provoking podcast episode, Angela and special guest, Peter Crone, delve into the challenges women face in reconciling their achievements with feelings of inadequacy.  They explore the concept of the "hungry ghost," where external success fails to address deeper internal beliefs of not being enough. The discussion emphasises the importance of shifting from a mindset of searching for validation to one of exploring possibilities, highlighting that true peace and joy come from within, rather than from external circumstances KEY TAKEAWAYS: Inner Perspective vs. External Success: Achieving external success does not necessarily change one's internal beliefs about self-worth.  The Concept of the "Hungry Ghost": This term illustrates the idea that individuals can never feel satisfied with external achievements if they have unresolved internal beliefs of inadequacy.  Exploration vs. Searching: There is a distinction between searching, which stems from feelings of lack, and exploring, which is rooted in joy and curiosity.  Freedom and Joy as States of Being: Freedom and joy are not dependent on external circumstances but are states of mind.  TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS: [00:02:01] Inner peace vs. external success. [00:03:58] Exploring vs. Searching. [00:08:08] Imagination and personal potential.

In this episode, I'm joined by theologian and storyteller Leonard Sweet for a deep conversation on the imagination of Jesus and why imagination is central to faith, discipleship, and what it means to be human. We talk about how Jesus doesn't simply explain reality but reshapes it through story and metaphor, and why Jubilee sits at the heart of his vision for the world. We also explore what it means to move beyond fear-based, information-driven faith toward a life where Christ is formed in us. This conversation is an invitation to move from knowing about God to truly knowing God, and to live with an imagination shaped by goodness, beauty, and truth.Leonard Sweet is one of the most prolific Christian authors in the world today, with over 70 books to his name—and a dozen more on the way–and 2000 published sermons. A theologian of imagination, a semiotician of Bible and culture, and a prophetic voice to the church, Sweet defies easy categorization. His works span genres and generations, challenging readers to see the world—and the gospel—with fresh eyes. While others chase bestseller lists, Sweet charts a different path: one defined not by sales, but by depth, creativity, and theological daring.Len's Book:Jesus: Maker, Mender, Minder, MasterLen's Recommendation:They Flew: A History of the ImpossibleConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@shiftingculturepodcast.comGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

How can we understand what is happening today from the perspective of what is sometimes called salvation history? What might be struggling to be born in our times? Why is a spiritual analysis - an unfolding of consciousness - key?The talk was delivered at The School of Myth, “Wild Christ”, weekend with Martin Shaw, Rowan Williams, Heather Pollington and others.I use the insights of Owen Barfield and Rudolf Steiner, to interpret developments across 3000 years of Christianity, given the movement of spirit began a millennia before Christ. I also take their lead on the value of William Blake to perceive the significance of what Blake called a “New Age” emerging now - which we might love, too.My book unpacking Barfield's interpretation of Christianity is “A Secret History of Christianity: Jesus, the Last Inkling and the Evolution of Consciousness”.My book on Blake's prophetic analysis of the dynamics active today is “Awake! William Blake and the Power of the Imagination”.For more see www.markvernon.com

How can you unlock creativity to thrive in leadership and life?   In this episode of Women of Color Rise, I speak with Dr. Natalie Nixon—creativity strategist, author of The Creativity Leap and Move, Think, Rest, and CEO of Figure 8 Thinking. Recognized on the Thinkers50 Radar and named one of the Top 50 keynote speakers by Real Leaders, Natalie helps executives and organizations harness creativity as a strategic advantage.   A proud African American woman and Gen Xer, Natalie grew up on the East Coast in a family that modeled discipline, faith, imagination, and rest. From her father's example of Sabbath practice to her mother's encouragement of daydreaming, Natalie learned early that curiosity and movement fuel innovation and resilience.   She shares lessons for leaders: Embrace creativity everywhere. It's not just for artists—engineers, CFOs, and educators all thrive when they pair wonder with rigor. Build curiosity into culture. Ask better "what if" questions to unlock new possibilities. Honor natural rhythms. Movement and rest sharpen thinking and prevent burnout. Connect ROI to creativity. Collaboration and curiosity drive productivity, efficiency, and innovation. Trust intuition. Imagination and foresight are as powerful as logic in leadership. Natalie's story shows that by moving, thinking, and resting with intention, leaders can reimagine what's possible and create lasting impact.   Order Natalie's book Move Think Rest here.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://analizawolf.com/episode-117-move-think-rest-to-promote-creativity-with-natalie-nixon  

Dr. Leslie Baynes joins Chris to talk about her new book, Between Interpretation and Imagination: C.S. Lewis and the Bible.  Among other things, we discuss: Lewis' familiarity with (and attitude toward) the Bible, before and after his conversion. Biblical scholars (like Gore) who influenced Lewis' views of Scripture. Lewis and the doctrine of inerrancy The trouble with the liar/lunatic/Lord trilemma. John and the Synoptics. Biblical allusions in Narnia (and Lewis' other imaginative work). Also: Footnotes versus endnotes! Epigraphs! Bertie Wooster! Evangelion and Potatoes at Beaversdam! A big thank-you to Dr. Baynes for a great conversation. Click here to purchase her book. Questions? Comments? Concerns? Crumpets?

If A.I. can write a song with just you in mind, will you still be able to share that musical experience with others? Joshua Rothman, a staff writer for The New Yorker, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss what happens to culture when we rely on A.I. to generate visual art or music, what it means for engaging in difficult subjects, and what machine-generated art means for our very human desires. His article is “A.I. Is Coming for Culture.”This episode originally aired October 1st, 2025. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Read OnlineWhen Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took his wife into his home. Matthew 1:24The human person is a fascinating subject of study. Throughout the ages, countless philosophers, theologians, and social scientists have sought to understand the complexities of human nature. Within the Catholic philosophical tradition, Saint Thomas Aquinas stands out as an influential and trustworthy teacher on this topic.Aquinas teaches that while a person sleeps, the external senses are inactive. However, sense images within the imagination can still be active to varying degrees, depending on the depth of sleep, leading to the formation of dreams. Human reason is not entirely inactive during sleep, but it operates in a diminished capacity, which often results in dreams being nonsensical. Because the intellect's judgment is not fully engaged, the content of dreams is generally neither moral nor immoral.There is, however, another form of dream that transcends the normal and natural type. This is exemplified in Joseph's dream. In such divinely inspired dreams, like Joseph's, human reason is fully active—not because of the natural workings of the imagination—but because the dream is a direct result of divine intervention. In Joseph's case, his reason and intellect were fully engaged, allowing him to comprehend the divine message delivered by the angel. He was presented with a choice, and with his reason fully operative, he freely chose to say “Yes” to God's communication, thus embracing his role in the divine plan.This “Yes” to the divine plan is clearly illustrated in the passage quoted above. Upon awakening, Joseph “did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him.” His choice was made during his divinely inspired dream, and his will fully acted upon this decision when he awoke.Though divinely inspired dreams like Joseph's are uncommon, they do happen. We, however, do not need to wait for such a dream to imitate Joseph's obedience to God's will. Like Joseph, we have been given divine Truth. For us, that Truth comes primarily through Sacred Scripture and the teachings of the Church. The writings of the saints also help clarify all that God speaks to us.At times, our imaginations can lead us astray, much like in a dream. When we allow irrational thoughts to dictate our actions, we might find ourselves filled with anxiety, worry, and confusion. Imitating Joseph does not mean waiting for a divine dream; rather, it means actively engaging our minds with divine Truth as revealed through the Church and Sacred Scripture. We must then listen to that truth, dismiss irrational thoughts, and use our reason to command our will to act in obedience to God's will. Reflect, today, on whether you tend to dwell on irrational ideas or whether you turn your intellect to divine Truth as the basis for what you believe and how you act. Just as Joseph trusted in the Truth revealed to him by the angel and acted upon it, we too must place our trust in the Truth and act accordingly.My trustworthy Lord, You have revealed to us all Truth as is given to us through the Sacred Scripture and the teachings of the Church. When my imagination leads me astray into obsessive thinking and worrying, please speak to me and help me to hear Your voice. May every decision I make and action I take be in accord with Your Truth. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: Finoskov, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia CommonsSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.
