Join us as we dive into our Christmas sermon series entitled Arise & Shine: The Christmas Story. Christmas is the story of His illumination and the invitation for us is to arise and shine!

Later, the discussion shifts to broader issues, including the deaths of Jubilant Sykes and Rob Reiner, addiction, and mental health challenges. The financial collapse of Martin University is also addressed, with all staff terminated due to lack of funds, raising concerns about the future of this historically Black institution.

Daily Quote The true triumph of reason is that it enables us to get along with those who do not possess it. (Voltaire) Poem of the Day Shall earth no more inspire thee By Emily Brontë Beauty of Words 落叶 王蒙

This week, I'm sitting down with gospel recording artist and model Deon Robertson straight out of Oklahoma City, and family, this conversation is powerful.Deon opens up about his connection to gospel music legends, his unique sound he calls “Soul Gospel Music,” and the moment his faith was truly challenged. He shares the hard lessons life required him to learn, and the very real pain that inspired his heartfelt single, “Working Out For Your Good.”This episode is honest, reflective, and full of encouragement for anyone trusting God through the process—even when it hurts. If you've ever questioned, waited, or wondered if God was still working behind the scenes… this one is for you.

In this heartfelt and reflective episode of Inspiration Nation, Lee and Jose dive deep into the timeless wisdom of Virginia Woolf's quote: “There's no need to hurry. There's no need to sparkle. There's no need to be anyone but oneself.” Together, they unpack the importance of self-acceptance, authentic communication, and staying true to your unique voice—even when societal pressures push for conformity. From Jose's personal growth stories to Lee's musical discovery of “Make Your Own Kind of Music” by Cass Elliot, the duo highlights how embracing your true self not only sparks genuine connection but also fuels innovation, creativity, and inner peace.Whether you're navigating workplace dynamics, tough conversations, or public presentations, this episode offers practical tools and powerful anecdotes on how to stay grounded in your identity while still evolving. As Jose aptly puts it, “You sparkle most when you're not trying.” Packed with leadership insights, emotional intelligence tips, and Jefferson Fisher-inspired communication strategies, this conversation will leave you inspired to show up more confidently as you.

Eek!   As a woman in medicine, the term invisible work usually evokes highly charged emotions. But, what if I told you multitasking prevents you from getting things done? After a whole day of being distracted, your productivity actually slows down.   In this episode, I'm going to show you what it means to pause, prepare, and make your business run smoother than ever. I'm sharing 4 steps to make your invisible workday productive, powerful, and efficient.   When can you schedule your next invisible workday?

Ela começou a nadar com apenas dois anos, competiu pela primeira vez aos sete e, ainda adolescente, ingressou no Sport Club Corinthians Paulista, onde se firmou como fundista. Passou depois por alguns outros clubes, destacando-se nas provas de 800m e 1.500m. Em 2005, foi incentivada por seu técnico, que mais tarde se tornaria seu marido, a estrear na Travessia dos Fortes. Venceu não apenas o medo de nadar no mar, mas também a competição, inaugurando o que seria uma nova oportunidade de permanecer na natação e testar seu potencial nas maratonas aquáticas. A partir dali, o potencial se transformou em resultados. Em 2006, conquistou duas pratas no Campeonato Mundial de Águas Abertas. No Pan do Rio de Janeiro, em 2007, levou a prata nos 10 km; em 2008, estreou nos Jogos Olímpicos de Pequim, terminando em sétimo lugar; e, em 2009, viveu uma temporada histórica ao vencer nove das onze etapas do circuito mundial, conquistando a Copa do Mundo de Maratonas Aquáticas. No mesmo ano, garantiu o bronze no Mundial de Esportes Aquáticos, tornando-se a primeira nadadora brasileira a conquistar uma medalha na história da competição. Em 2011, nos Jogos Pan-Americanos, levou a prata e, no Mundial de 2013, alcançou o ápice com ouro nos 10 km, prata nos 5 km e bronze na prova por equipes. Em 2016, nos Jogos do Rio, conquistou o bronze na prova dos 10 km da maratona aquática, tornando-se a primeira brasileira a ganhar uma medalha olímpica na natação. Encerrou a carreira em 2017, ano do lançamento de sua biografia, e logo depois iniciou uma nova fase: junto com o marido, criou uma assessoria de natação em águas abertas e uma travessia que leva seu nome. Em 2021, fundou seu Instituto e, desde 2020, trabalha na agência VEGA Sports. Contudo, sua conquista mais festejada veio em 2021, com o nascimento de Lucca. Conosco de volta aqui, a ex-nadadora dona de uma história marcada por conquistas, reinvenção e legado, eleita a melhor nadadora de águas abertas do mundo em duas ocasiões, integrante do Hall da Fama Internacional da Maratona Aquática, comentarista da TV Globo, ícone da natação brasileira e triatleta em desenvolvimento, a paulistana Poliana Okimoto Cintra.

Sheriff Chris Swanson strives to live in the moment: On May 30th 2020, when he found himself in the center of a volatile situation, he chose to listen to the people he has sworn to protect, put down his baton, and walk with them by their side. And in doing so, more than a billion people across the world tuned in to see one everyday person change the tide from negative to positive, from what could have been bad to something good. While the world around us seems to be on a constant, unstoppable path of division, Sheriff Chris continues to embrace unity, through his community in Flint, Michigan and beyond. We talk a lot on this show about shining the light into - and finding the light in - the darkness. Sheriff Chris is doing that on the daily.

If you've ever felt stretched too thin, this episode is for you. In Part 1 of my series, 12 Things I've Learned About Homeschool Moms, I share the first six insights I've gathered over my years as a homeschool mom, coach, and guide for women just like you. These self-care tips for overwhelmed homeschool moms aren't rules or prescriptions—they're real-life reflections from someone who's walked this path, experienced the overwhelm, and learned how to reclaim herself without abandoning her homeschool dreams. Join the 12-Day Self-Care Challenge for Homeschool Moms What You'll Learn: Self-Care Tips for Overwhelmed Homeschool Moms Every homeschool mom faces invisible challenges, even when things look “perfect” from the outside. In this episode, I dive into the first six things I've learned about the homeschool mom experience: You feel like you never get a moment to yourself – The constant “on” mode can leave you disconnected from your own body and needs. No one sees everything you do – From teaching to caregiving to emotional labor, the invisible load is real. You say yes because it feels easier than dealing with disappointment – Learning to say no is a radical act of self-care. You're emotionally depleted – The overwhelm is rarely about homeschooling itself—it's about carrying too much without space to reset. You feel guilty resting – Rest isn't optional; it's essential for your health, your energy, and your presence in your family. You don't even know who you are anymore outside motherhood – Reconnecting with yourself is foundational to leading a confident, aligned homeschool life. Every one of these six things isn't a sign that you're doing homeschooling wrong—they're signs that you're human and have been carrying more than anyone was meant to carry alone. Why These Self-Care Tips for Overwhelmed Homeschool Moms Matter If any part of this episode made you exhale or think, “oh… that's me,” consider this your gentle invitation to start tending to yourself with the same care you offer everyone else in your home. Emotional overfunctioning and people-pleasing can follow you into homeschooling, and slowly, you lose not just your energy, but your sense of self. Reclaiming yourself isn't selfish—it's foundational. Your kids feel safest when you feel safe. Join the 12-Day Homeschool Mom Self-Care Challenge This is exactly why I created the 12-Day Homeschool Mom Self-Care Challenge. It's not another checklist or performance-based challenge. Instead, it's twelve small, doable shifts designed to help you come back to yourself with compassion, not pressure. Daily Letters – Thoughtful reflections to help you see your needs clearly. Gentle Reflection Prompts – Uncover the stories you've been carrying. Tiny, Doable Practices – Small actions to create real emotional space. As one mom said: “Your work has ripple effects because you're nurturing the nurturers.” You deserve that same nurture too. Click here to join the 12-Day Self-Care Challenge and start making your own 1% shifts away from overwhelm and toward a homeschool life that feels good from the inside out. What's Next for Overwhelmed Homeschool Moms Next week, we'll continue with Part 2 of this series, where I share six more things I've learned about homeschool moms. They go even deeper, and I think you'll feel just as held, understood, and equipped to make your homeschool life feel lighter and more aligned. Until then, take one moment today just for you—not because it's earned, but because you need it and you deserve it. Join the 12-Day Self-Care Challenge for Homeschool Moms To the Woman Reading This… If any part of this resonates — if you recognize your own patterns of over-functioning, self-forgetting, or carrying too much — please know you don't have to walk this alone. Maybe safety felt conditional, or you learned to earn love by meeting everyone else's needs.Or maybe you're carrying grief or stories that were never yours to carry. I've walked this path too — from losing myself to returning to myself. If you're ready to step into who you truly are, I'd be honoured to walk beside you. ➤ Learn more about coaching with Teresa here.

How can you be sure your son will succeed?If you've asked this question, you're not alone.  We all want the best for our children, but how can we help them on their way?  Give your son something to aim for.  Set a target for him that ignites excitement.  Surround your son with great examples of godly character. Finding father figures and mentors to teach him, train him, and be his guide as he grows and develops strong habits of excellence is a very good start.Frank Sonnenberg says of mentoring: “You never know when you're creating a spark that will last forever.” Create that spark in your son.  Inspire him.  Give him his path to success.For information about raising your son into a godly man, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.

Why do some people inspire us instantly — while others infuriate us just as fast? According to Adam Galinsky, the answer isn't random. It's psychological, universal, and surprisingly predictable. Adam is a professor at Columbia Business School, co-author of Friend & Foe, and author of the new book Inspire. He's spent years studying tens of thousands of real leadership stories across the globe — and what he discovered will change the way you see yourself and the people around you. In this conversation, Adam and Kwame break down: • The three universal traits of inspiring leaders • Why inspiring and infuriating people are mirror images of each other • How the “leader amplification effect” makes even small actions hit hard • How insecurity turns people into “little tyrants” • The difference between persuasion, authenticity, and manipulation • How simple practices (values reflection, power recall) can reduce anxiety and build confidence • Why anyone — in work, at home, or in life — can learn to become inspiring Adam also shares incredible personal stories, including how one sentence from Daniel Kahneman shaped his entire career — and how a small moment with his son revealed the true weight of leadership. If you've ever wondered why people follow some leaders and push away from others, or how to become more inspiring in your own life, this episode gives you the science, the stories, and the practical steps to do it.

Animals in dreams always seem to have a special meaningfulness. Today we talk about how dreams of certain animals were viewed at the Asklepian Temple in ancient Greece where people could go to be healed by their dreams. Learn about a modern interpretation of this ancient technique from our guest psychotherapist, mindfulness teacher, and Dream Boat podcast host Laura Payne of the Dream Research Institute in London. A short clip from the show can be found here: After the break we hear from Steve Popp from Santa Cruz with a dream about a series of animals beginning with a moose and ending with a talking lynx. Then we take a question from Max who asks about not just seeing dogs in dreams but being a dog. Finally we take a call from Kathy from Corona for a quick check in. Information about her October Asklepian Dream Retreat in Greece will be up on her webpage in January. From our guest: My name is Laura Payne, and I'm an avid dream lover. I'm a clinical depth psychotherapist, supervisor and lecturer, a mindfulness teacher, and associate of the Dream Research Institute for Studies based in London, England. I present the DreamBoat Podcast for the DRI now in its 7 series, and I'm author of Nine Steps to a Mindful Life without Meditating.

I discuss population manipulation and who It's possible we're all being gaslit when it comes to the numbers in every category; I discuss the 14th amendment and how the Spring's SCOTUS case could be legendary; and there have been some monumental COVID lawsuit victories, losses, debates and the enemy will not quit when it comes to making us sick and normalizing illness and their so-called solutions.    https://www.moneytreepublishing.com/shop PROMO CODE: “AEFM” for 10% OFF, or https://armreg.co.uk PROMO CODE: "americaneducationfm" for 15% off all books and products.

Host David Ritter, MA is joined by Lotte Mulder, PhD and Kamran Mirza, MD, PhD, FASCP to discuss their new book, Mia the Marvelous Lab Explorer. The adventure follows Mia, a superhero and scientist, who uses laboratory science to explain why a friend has fallen ill with leukemia. The book targets children ages 5 to 9 years and balances striking entertaining and engaging tone with explaining scientific concepts accurately to a younger audience.
