Father Thomas Keating (1923 – 2018) was an American Trappist monk who took the form of prayer used by Christian mystics over the past centuries and presented in a modern and accessible manner, so everyone can partake of it. Although considered controversial by some, Centering Prayer bears a very close resemblance to how Christian mystics used prayer to connect with God and the divine.If you would like to order a copy of Dr. Carlos Eire's new book, "They Flew: A History of the Impossible," you can order a copy HERE (Yale University Press) or HERE (Amazon).If you have any questions, you can email us at christianmysticismpodcast@gmail.com.

Trump sues the New York Times for defamation. Ben riffs. Kevin Ryan talks about his long-shot campaign for the U.S. Senate. He's a 33-year-old southwest side, Marine vet, public school history teacher, bartender, self described New Deal Democrat who wants to take money out of politics so billionaires don't control the process. And what's so wrong with that? Kevin's taking his case to the voters, driving from one end of Illinois to the other—MAGA counties included—in a converted school bus inscribed with quotes from great thinkers, like Dr King.. All the experts scoff he can't win. Here's why you might want to vote for him anyway.

Turning dirt to development is hard enough, but try converting a golf course into a new subdivision and the whole world loses their mind. Against all odds, the impossible became possible over a 3 year slog. As the saying goes, where there is a will, there is a way.

Why does violence feel like the backdrop of our world today? Despite our technology, communication, and historical knowledge, conflict continues to erupt—in wars, in politics, in households, and even within ourselves. In this episode of The Spiritual Perspective, Light Watkins reframes violence not as a glitch in human nature, but as a consistent pattern woven into it.From the ground-level view, it's always “us vs. them”—victims and villains, good and bad, right and wrong. But when we zoom out, we see that violence doesn't just appear out of nowhere. It often begins the moment someone feels unseen, unheard, or stripped of dignity. Left unchecked, that seed grows into resistance, and resistance almost always invites force from those in power.So how do we break this cycle? Light shares why spiritual maturity requires moving beyond blame and stepping into true leadership—the kind that begins at home, in our workplaces, and in our communities by making others feel seen and valued.If you found this perspective helpful, you may also enjoy:The Spiritual Perspective on GenocideThe Dark Side of Hustle CultureAnd if you're ready to deepen your practice, join Light in Mexico City this fall for his live meditation workshop: mexico.beginmeditating.com.Send us a text message.

"It's amazing what God can do with our prayers." Praying for a miracle is a complicated pursuit. After all, what constitutes a miracle? Is it a sudden healing, winning the lottery... or the parting of the Red Sea? The reality is, when you're asking for a miracle, for God to intervene and change circumstances for the better, you may not actually know what you're praying for. So says author Anthony DeStefano.  In his new book, "The Miracle Book: A Simple Guide to Asking for the Impossible," Anthony examines the true nature of miracles. Providing insight on both the theological and worldly interpretation of the topic, by offering a word of encouragement to listeners, "at least give God a chance to surprise you."

Légende de la musique en Afrique et bien au-delà, Cheikh Lô fête ce week-end ses 50 ans de carrière et ne compte pas s'arrêter en si bon chemin, puisque son nouveau disque Maame sera publié le 26 septembre. Mais avant cette sortie, le chanteur, batteur et guitariste sénégalais a accepté de revenir sur des anecdotes de sa vie artistique. RFI : Vous célébrez 50 ans de carrière, 50 ans d'exploration musicale. Vous êtes un éternel optimiste. Quel est votre secret pour garder cette fraîcheur ? Cheikh Lô : Je vais fêter mes 70 ans ! Mais actuellement, j'ai 26 ans. Je me suis rendu compte que la musique nourrit l'âme. Ça te tient. Tu ne vieillis pas. C'est un environnement. Je ne sais pas comment l'expliquer. Va par exemple aux îles des Caraïbes ou Cuba, tu trouveras des vieux chanteurs qui jouent jusqu'à présent, parce que leur musique est positive, immortelle. Vous êtes né à Bobo-Dioulasso, au Burkina Faso, de parents sénégalais en 1955. Comment est-ce que la musique vous a attrapé ? Au moment où je suis né, ce n'était pas le Burkina Faso, c'était la Haute-Volta. Je suis né là-bas. J'ai grandi là-bas. J'avais la chance, car à l'époque mon grand frère avait un tourne-disque. Il avait pratiquement toutes les musiques d'Afrique de l'Ouest avec les bagages et les ressources du Congo. Et en même temps, il y avait la radio à la maison. Donc, on écoutait beaucoup de Volta Jazz, l'orchestre de renommée à Bobo-Dioulasso qui était le plus grand orchestre de l'époque. Vous y avez commencé votre carrière en tant que batteur... À l'âge de 20 ans, j'avais des amis dans le même quartier qui avaient des guitares. On passait des heures là-bas. Un jour, à ma grande surprise, le bassiste même du Volta Jazz est venu. Il grattait vraiment bien. Il a commencé à jouer et j'ai commencé à chanter. Dans la foulée, vous allez passer une audition et intégrer le groupe... Pour une soirée. Mais avant que la salle soit pleine, j'avais un peu le stress. Mes pieds tremblaient un peu. J'avais chanté un morceau de Laba Sosseh qui s'appelle « Seyni ». Après avoir fini de chanter, le chef d'orchestre et saxophoniste Mustapha Maïga me dit : « Petit, tu es intégré dans le groupe à partir d'aujourd'hui. » Vous aimez tellement cette chanson que vous l'avez enregistrée des années plus tard. Votre carrière est immense. Vous avez joué dans des clubs, dans des hôtels. Vous avez été batteur dans des studios d'enregistrement en France. Mais arrêtons-nous sur un moment important, la sortie de l'album Né La Thiass. Ce n'est qu'après, en 1995, que j'ai réalisé l'album Né La Thiass en collaboration avec Youssou N'Dour. Né La Thiass, c'est la destinée. Youssou N'Dour était amoureux de ce morceau. Tout de suite, j'ai fait une tournée pour la promotion de cet album avec le groupe Né La Thiass, parce que je n'avais pas encore fondé mon propre groupe. Avec le Super Étoile de Youssou N'Dour, on a fait les répétitions à Dakar et puis une tournée européenne un mois plus tard. Quand les nouvelles générations viennent vous voir, que leur répondez-vous ? Qu'il ne faut jamais rien lâcher dans la vie ? Si ce sont des jeunes qui viennent, je leur dis : « Allez faire une formation ». Dans tout métier, pour savoir où tu poses les pieds. Tout est possible. Impossible n'est pas français, mais tout est possible aujourd'hui. Il faut y croire pour y arriver. Dernière question : dans un monde en tension, à quoi sert la musique ? À quoi sert votre musique ? La musique rapproche et même les montagnes. C'est un médicament. Cela adoucit les mœurs. La musique, elle est sacrée pour moi. On pourrait même dire que c'est une religion aussi. Il n'y a pas de mensonge en musique. À l'au-delà, nul ne peut mentir. Tu ne peux pas tricher avec la musique parce qu'il y a des conventions. C'est divin. Cheikh Lô Maame (World Circuit Limited) 2025 Facebook / Instagram / YouTube

If a law is literally impossible to follow, it undermines the legitimacy of the legal system itself. Decentralized social network platform Mastodon says it can't comply with Mississippi's age verification law. A law that cannot be complied with doesn't regulate behavior, instead it criminalizes existence. In this case, the law is less about shaping user behavior than about shaping which platforms survive. And this is where the US is heading. We explore this and so much more. Please don't miss this one.

Every person with a big dream—whether you're an entrepreneur, an artist, or just someone striving to be better—will eventually hit a wall. It's the moment when rejection piles up, the bank account is low, and the temptation to quit feels overwhelming. So, what separates those who succeed from those who don't?   In a powerful episode of the Personal Mastery Training podcast, hosts Alvin Brown and Dr. Charlie Cartwright argue that the answer is simple: they don't quit. They understand that adversity isn't a sign to stop; it's a mandatory part of the journey. Using inspiring stories from a media billionaire and the first man to conquer Everest, they provide a roadmap for anyone ready to persevere. Key Highlights from the Discussion Adversity is Happening for You, Not to You: The most crucial mindset shift is to see challenges not as personal attacks, but as opportunities for growth. When the pandemic shut down his business, Alvin Brown didn't just survive; he used the chaos to build something new and more aligned with his purpose. The First "Yes" Must Be Yours: Media mogul Byron Allen was told "no" over 1,300 times. He could endure that rejection because he had already given himself an unwavering "yes." Before you seek external validation, you must be fully committed to your own vision. Break the Impossible into Possibilities: Sir Edmund Hillary, a beekeeper from New Zealand, did what no one in history had ever done: he summited Mount Everest. His secret? He understood that any "impossible" goal can be broken down into a series of achievable "possibilities." Humility is Your Superpower: Pride is the silent killer of dreams. The journey to success will require you to be humble enough to ask for help. This isn't a sign of weakness; it's a sign of a resourceful person committed to their goal. You Don't Have to Be an Expert to Start: Hillary wasn't a professional mountaineer. You don't need one more degree or certification. You are good enough to start now. The world needs your commitment and action, not your perfect credentials. The Takeaway The path to your greatest ambitions is paved with difficulty. There will be rejection, setbacks, and moments of doubt. But within those challenges lie the lessons, the strength, and the opportunities that will ultimately lead to your success. So, what do you do when you feel like quitting? You remember your why, you focus on your next small step, you ask for help, and you keep going.  

Episode DescriptionJames sits down once again with cosmologist Brian Keating—longtime friend of the show and author of Into the Impossible: Focus Like a Nobel Prize Winner. In this candid conversation, they challenge each other's views on focus, curiosity, and the trade-offs of staying in your lane.

Dr. Corinne Low is not your typical Wharton professor. An economist whose research focuses on gender, discrimination, and the hidden costs of modern parenthood, she's also a mother, wife, and author navigating the very struggles she studies. I sit down with Dr. Low to talk about her new book Having It All (out September 23rd), a data-driven yet deeply personal guide to escaping the false promise of “work-life balance.” From the silent epidemic of exhausted mothers to the stubborn realities of unequal housework—even when women are the breadwinners—Dr. Low pulls no punches in showing us why the overwhelm isn't in our heads. It's in the data. With humor, candor, and hard truths, she invites us to redefine success on our own terms, reclaim our roles as the protagonists of our lives, and maybe even throw away the houseplants for a while. What you'll hear in this episode goes far beyond economics—it's a wake-up call for anyone who's ever felt like they're “failing” at doing it all. Spoiler: the system is failing you, not the other way around. From Single Mom Upbringing to Wharton Professor: How Dr. Low's childhood shaped her drive for career stability and independence. (04:58)The Silent Epidemic of Parental Time: Why today's parenting feels harder, and the data proving we're not crazy for feeling overwhelmed. (05:28)From Journalist Dreams to Economist Reality: Dr. Low's path from writing aspirations to a career in economics and research. (14:43)Facing Discrimination Myths with Data: What her research actually reveals about gender, discrimination, and reverse discrimination. (18:42)Winning the Bread and Baking It Too: Why female breadwinners still do more at home, and how gender roles refuse to budge. (23:13)The 30-Year Squeeze: How careers, childcare, and aging parents collide to make midlife especially exhausting. (31:26)Reclaiming the Protagonist Role: Why women must stop being supporting characters in their own lives. (35:06)Redefining Success in Economic Terms: Why utility—deep joy and satisfaction—is a better measure than the white picket fence. (38:48)Tuckered Out Moments: From pumping on Amtrak to juggling a newborn and a book launch, Dr. Low shares her real-life exhaustion stories.

You've already done impossible things. So why are you doubting your next mountain when you've outrun the odds more times than you can count? April challenges listeners to stop underestimating themselves by revisiting their own “4-minute miles.” Just as Roger Bannister shattered the barrier once thought impossible, you too have overcome odds that most people never thought you could. April dives deep into reframing past wins as fuel for future breakthroughs—and shows you how to apply this mindset shift to the mountain in front of you now. Key Takeaways: The Bannister Effect: Once Bannister broke the 4-minute mile, dozens followed. Your wins create the same ripple effect for yourself and others. The Odds You've Already Beaten: From trauma, business hurdles, and personal setbacks—you've already outrun impossible odds. Don't forget your own track record. Rewrite Your Narrative: Stop letting doubt speak louder than proof. Your past wins are undeniable evidence of what's possible next. Challenge of the Day: Write down your personal “4-minute miles” and use them as ammunition when doubt creeps in. Action > Doubt: Momentum builds when you start—success stacks like dominoes. Quotes & Action Items: “You don't need to borrow belief from anyone else—you've got proof written all over your own life.” – April Garcia Action Step: Make your list of every 4-minute mile you've already broken (big or small). Keep it visible and use it as fuel for your next challenge. April reminds us that breaking barriers isn't about waiting until you feel ready—it's about trusting the evidence of your past victories. If Bannister could run what the world said was impossible, and if you've already outrun impossible odds, then your next 4-minute mile is not only possible—it's waiting for you. ______________________________________

In this conversation, Eléonore reveals how her $400 million AI platform is already running supply chains for Coca-Cola, powering finance for the hottest newly public companies like Figma and Klarna, and processing thousands of financial scenarios for Uber and Snowflake faster and more accurately than any human team ever could.Eléonore predicts Excel will outlive most AI companies (but maybe only as a user interface, not a calculation engine) explains why she deliberately chose to build from Paris instead of Silicon Valley, and shares her contrarian take on why the AI revolution will create more CFOs, not fewer.You'll discover why Pigment's three-agent system (Analyst, Modeler, Planner) avoids the hallucination problems plaguing other AI companies, how they achieved human-level accuracy in financial analysis, and the accelerating timeline for fully autonomous enterprise planning that will make your current workforce obsolete.PigmentWebsite - https://www.pigment.comTwitter - https://x.com/gopigmentEléonore CrespoLinkedIn - linkedin.com/in/eleonorecrespoFIRSTMARKWebsite - https://firstmark.comTwitter - https://twitter.com/FirstMarkCapMatt Turck (Managing Director)LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/turck/Twitter - https://twitter.com/mattturck(00:00) Intro (01:22) Building Pigment: 500 Employees, $400M Raised, 60% US Revenue (03:20) From Quantum Physics to Google to Index Ventures (06:56) Why Being a VC Was the Perfect Founder Training Ground (11:35) The Impatience Factor: What Makes Great Founders (13:27) Hiring for AI Fluency in the Modern Enterprise (14:54) Pigment's Internal AI Strategy: Committees and Guardrails (17:30) The Three AI Agents: Analyst, Modeler, and Planner (22:15) Why Three Agents Instead of One: Technical Architecture (24:10) Agent Coordination: How the Supervisor Agent Works (24:46) Real Example: Budget Variance Analysis Across 50 Products (27:15) The Human-in-the-Loop Approach: Recommendations Not Actions (27:36) Solving Hallucination: Why Structured Data Changes Everything (30:08) Behind the Scenes: Verification Agents and Audit Trails (31:57) Beyond Accuracy: Enabling the Impossible at Scale (36:21) Will AI Finally Kill Excel?

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Support our mission to teach every verse of the Bible. Read more here: Project23 Our text today is Judges 3:12-23 And the people of Israel again did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done what was evil in the sight of the Lord. He gathered to himself the Ammonites and the Amalekites, and went and defeated Israel. And they took possession of the city of palms. And the people of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years. Then the people of Israel cried out to the Lord, and the Lord raised up for them a deliverer, Ehud, the son of Gera, the Benjaminite, a left-handed man. The people of Israel sent tribute by him to Eglon the king of Moab. And Ehud made for himself a sword with two edges, a cubit in length, and he bound it on his right thigh under his clothes. And he presented the tribute to Eglon king of Moab. Now Eglon was a very fat man. And when Ehud had finished presenting the tribute, he sent away the people who carried the tribute. But he himself turned back at the idols near Gilgal and said, “I have a secret message for you, O king.” And he commanded, “Silence.” And all his attendants went out from his presence. And Ehud came to him as he was sitting alone in his cool roof chamber. And Ehud said, “I have a message from God for you.” And he arose from his seat. And Ehud reached with his left hand, took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly. And the hilt also went in after the blade, and the fat closed over the blade, for he did not pull the sword out of his belly; and the dung came out. Then Ehud went out into the porch and closed the doors of the roof chamber behind him and locked them. — Judges 3:12-23 Why would God choose a left-handed man with a hidden dagger to deliver his people? Israel fell again, this time under the heavy hand of King Eglon of Moab. Eighteen years of oppression. And then, once more, the cry for help. God's answer? Ehud—a left-handed man. In a tribe where warriors were expected to be right-handed, Ehud was an outsider. But that “weakness” became his advantage. Guards didn't suspect the dagger strapped to his right thigh. In the palace, standing before the bloated king, Ehud struck—and Israel's deliverance began. This story feels raw, almost shocking. But it's here to remind us: God doesn't save the way we expect. He uses unlikely people, in unlikely ways, to accomplish his purposes. Maybe you feel like Ehud—overlooked, underestimated, maybe even carrying what others see as a weakness. But with God, that very thing can become your weapon for his glory. God's not looking for polished people with perfect resumes. He's looking for willing hearts. He loves to flip weakness into strength, using the very things others count out to bring about victory. Stop disqualifying yourself. If God can use Ehud's left hand, he can use your story. ASK THIS: What's one area of my life where I feel disqualified or overlooked? How might God want to use that “weakness” as a strength? Do I believe God can deliver in ways I don't expect? Where do I need to step out in bold, Ehud-like faith this week? DO THIS: Write down one personal “weakness” you usually hide. Then ask God how he might want to use it for his glory. Take one step to offer it back to him today. PRAY THIS: Father, use what I see as weakness to show your strength. Help me trust that you can work through the parts of me I least expect. Amen. PLAY THIS: "God of the Impossible."

L'idée amuse souvent les enfants : si l'on creusait un trou très profond dans son jardin, pourrait-on déboucher de l'autre côté de la planète ? En théorie, cela semble simple. En pratique, c'est absolument impossible. Et les raisons sont à la fois physiques, géologiques et techniques.D'abord, il faut rappeler que la Terre n'est pas faite d'un seul bloc homogène. Elle est composée de couches successives. Sous la croûte terrestre, relativement fine – entre 5 et 70 kilomètres d'épaisseur – s'étend le manteau, qui descend jusqu'à 2 900 kilomètres. En dessous se trouve le noyau externe, liquide et métallique, puis le noyau interne, solide, essentiellement constitué de fer et de nickel. Pour atteindre l'autre côté de la Terre, il faudrait donc traverser environ 6 371 kilomètres, soit le rayon moyen de notre planète.Le premier obstacle est la chaleur. Plus on descend, plus la température augmente : en moyenne de 25 °C par kilomètre dans la croûte. À seulement 100 kilomètres de profondeur, on dépasse déjà 2 000 °C. Dans le noyau terrestre, les estimations atteignent près de 5 500 °C, soit l'équivalent de la surface du Soleil. Impossible d'imaginer des matériaux capables de résister à de telles températures.Ensuite vient la pression. À chaque kilomètre supplémentaire, la masse des couches supérieures écrase davantage ce qui est en dessous. À 3 000 kilomètres de profondeur, la pression équivaut à plusieurs millions de fois celle de l'air que nous respirons. Même les foreuses les plus résistantes seraient instantanément broyées.Troisième difficulté : les limites technologiques. L'être humain n'a jamais creusé bien profond. Le record est détenu par le forage de Kola, en Russie, commencé dans les années 1970. Il a atteint un peu plus de 12 kilomètres, soit… à peine 0,2 % du rayon terrestre ! À cette profondeur, la chaleur et la fragilité des roches rendaient déjà les travaux insoutenables.Enfin, il y a un problème pratique : même si, par miracle, on parvenait à creuser un tel tunnel, la gravité poserait une énigme. En tombant dedans, on serait d'abord accéléré, mais arrivé au centre de la Terre, la gravité s'exercerait de manière égale dans toutes les directions. Résultat : on resterait coincé au milieu, incapable de continuer.En résumé, la chaleur extrême, la pression colossale, la structure interne de la Terre et nos limites technologiques rendent cette idée totalement irréalisable. Creuser un trou jusqu'à l'autre bout du monde restera donc, à jamais, un rêve d'enfant… ou un scénario de science-fiction. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Is Product Management the most unrealistic job description ever created? Product Managers are supposed to be the "CEO of the product" - a one-person army who is CEO, therapist, engineer, and strategist (all without equity or authority). The only issue is that it sounds terrible and is a modern recipe for failure.Watch as Brian and Om dive deep into the impossible expectations placed on Product Managers. Listen as we talk through how the role expects you to work 60+ hours minimum, handle everything from technical architecture to customer support, and somehow maintain strategic vision while putting out daily fires. The reality? Most PMs have responsibility without authority and get paid for one job while doing five. We explore the industrial complex that perpetuates these unrealistic expectations and discuss what needs to change.

The ‘Bachelor in Paradise' season 10 reunion dropped last week – and then it dropped again, and then it dropped a third and final time. We listened to the two-part podcast reunion, and then watched the YouTube video edit that finally came out this weekend, so we could take in every bit of the room tone, cross talk, and confusing circular arguments about tweets that no one bothered to read or even explain. In the midst of it all, the men from the season seemed to sit back and avoid taking accountability, while the women ended up taking the brunt of the fallout.

What does it mean to think impossibly? How do paranormal events, mystical visions, and encounters with the unknown reshape our understanding of what it means to be human? In this episode, host Dr. John W. Price sits down with Dr. Jeffrey Kripal — J. Newton Rayzor Professor of Philosophy and Religious Thought at Rice University, and one of today's most daring scholars of religion — to explore the borders between the possible and the impossible. Together, they trace the line where scholarship meets the mystical, where imagination bends into healing, and where our deepest worldviews determine what we are even able to see. From UFOs and near-death experiences to William Blake, dual-aspect monism, and the future of spirituality, this is a wide-ranging conversation about living at the edges of reality. Be sure to check out Jeff's latest book, How to Think Impossibly: About Souls, UFOs, Time, Belief, and Everything Else. Key Takeaways Embracing the impossible expands not just our knowledge, but our capacity for awe, healing, and transformation. Worldviews — personal and cultural — filter what counts as “real,” shaping how we encounter extraordinary experiences. Paranormal phenomena aren't just curiosities; they are symbolic invitations into deeper practice and meaning. Thinking impossibly is less about belief and more about orientation — a way of living that opens us to mystery. Dialogue at the borderlands of science, religion, and imagination may hold the key to the future of spirituality.

In this sixth episode of the 2025 Global Leadership Summit Recap Series on Stories from the River, CEO Charlie Malouf is joined by Will Luke, Senior Director of Project Management, to recap insights from Dr. James Hewitt's Global Leadership Summit keynote on regenerative performance.  Dr. Hewitt, a former world-class cyclist turned human performance scientist, shared his journey from relentless “go, go, go” living to understanding the necessity of pausing and reflecting, especially after surviving cancer. The discussion introduces the concept of “cognitive gears,” a metaphor for the varying levels of mental focus and energy: low (rest and simple tasks), middle (emails and meetings), and high (deep, priority-driven work). Most workers get caught in the “middle gear” — a cycle of distractions and meetings — which can lead to burnout and inefficiency. Charlie and Will explore Dr. Hewitt's practical strategies, like batching emails, rethinking meeting culture, leveraging AI for smarter workflows, and recognizing the value of rest and breaks, not just as luxuries, but as critical tools for sustainability and peak performance. They emphasize aligning work with one's natural circadian rhythms and highlight the power of quality sleep and strategic downtime for creativity and long-term effectiveness. The episode closes with a call for leaders to model regenerative practices, acknowledging that when Memory Makers are encouraged to replenish their mental and physical capacity, it has a ripple effect throughout the organization, boosting both wellbeing and performance.
