Podcasts about intentional

Peace isn't just a feeling; it's a powerful tool for navigating life. It brings clarity by decluttering your mind, so you can see what's truly important and make better decisions.

Learning to live our lives with intention is a powerful way to begin to create the lives we truly want. And it is going to push the boundaries of your comfort zone when you step into intentionality. But only when we decide what we really want in life and choose to intentionally move toward it will we find the fulfillment and contentment that is available with a life well lived. What can you do to live with more intention?

#214Do your lessons ever feel like a mix of good activities that just don't quite connect? You're not alone—and it's frustrating when all your effort doesn't lead to real language growth. In this episode, we talk about how planning intentionally from the first input to the final assessment so everything works together to build proficiency. You'll get practical ideas, a clear framework, and a fresh approach that makes planning easier and more effective. So, let's jump in.Topics in this Episode:We have to start planning with the end goal of communication in mind, not the content, not the textbook unit, not even the grammar point. But communication. When we think about what students need to be able to do with language—what they'll say, write, listen to, and read—and then work backwards from there, everything starts to click into place.This is the foundation of backward design and intentional planning.Classroom startegies: Start with the “I Can” StatementsAlign the Input, Tasks, and AssessmentReady For Tomorrow Quick Win PD Course:  Intentional Planning for Proficiency: From Input to Assessment.A Few Ways We Can Work Together:Ready For Tomorrow Quick Win PD for Individual TeachersOn-Site or Virtual Workshops for Language DepartmentsSelf-Paced Program for For Language DepartmentsConnect With Me & The World Language Classroom Community:Website: wlclassrom.comInstagram:  @wlclassroomFacebook Group: World Language ClassroomFacebook:  /wlclassroomLinkedIn: Joshua CabralBluesky: /wlclassroom.bsky.sociaX (Twitter):  @wlclassroomThreads: @wlclassroomSend me a text and let me know your thoughts on this episode or the podcast.

This week we're diving into the disciplines of being an intentional disciple-maker. Just like Paul discipled Timothy, he connected with him both personally and culturally, using the examples of a soldier, an athlete, and a farmer. We are called to disciple others, no matter their background or past mistakes, because of the promise of victory, the vision of winning, and the hope of a harvest. Disciple-making is always worthwhile when our goal is to glorify God, win people to Christ, and one day live eternally with Him. Remember: no past experience is beyond redemption. The church grows when YOU share your story!

Esther seized her God-given opportunity and used it with wisdom. When we obey His leading, we must act with diligence and discretion.

In this episode, I reflect on the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk and what his example means for us as Christians moving forward. Charlie was a man of discipline, conviction, and grit—a reminder that Christianity is not for the faint of heart. We are called to run the race with endurance, to stand firm in the truth, and to live with courage even when it costs us. I'll walk through what it means to have GRIT as followers of Christ—Grounded in God's Word, Resilient in trials, Intentional in faith, and Tenacious for the truth. This is not about applause or comfort but about finishing the race well, as Paul says in 1 Corinthians 9. As we grieve, we don't grieve as those without hope. We remember that our God is unchanging, sovereign, and victorious over death itself. The best way to honor Charlie's legacy is to live with the same grit and conviction, keeping our eyes fixed on Christ, the author and finisher of our faith.

Anatol Lieven explains that Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus is a Soviet loyalist, not a Putin stooge, but was driven to Russia by Western sanctions. He discusses Russian drone incursions into Poland, likely an intentional message to NATO to test air defenses and warn against deploying troops to Ukraine. Russia may also seek to maintain Belarus firmly in its orbit by disrupting its multi-vector foreign policy initiatives, particularly any attempts at détente with the West.

The incident highlights NATO's rapid response capabilities and the broader "poly crisis" in Europe, requiring diplomatic de-escalation.

Where are you listening from?What happens when a professional chef decides to combine their culinary expertise with cannabis? Magic in the kitchen and a whole new approach to edibles.Adam Vandermay, Executive Chef and co-founder of Your Canna Chef, takes us behind the scenes of his cannabis culinary journey, revealing how his relationship with the plant evolved from casual use to intentional consumption. "I went from just getting high to using the plant with intent," Adam shares, highlighting a maturity many cannabis enthusiasts develop over time.The conversation dives deep into the art of cannabis cuisine, with Adam emphasizing precision over guesswork. His most valuable tip? Stop cooking with cannabis-infused oils as your base. Instead, use infusions as finishing elements—in sauces, glazes, and condiments—where you can control dosage with exactness. This approach eliminates the dreaded "mystery edible" problem where consumers don't know how potent their food will be. Beyond cooking techniques, Adam shares the remarkable story of how his culinary skills literally saved his life after hitting rock bottom. Following a difficult divorce, he traveled to Nicaragua with just $600 and rebuilt his life through cooking, eventually establishing a thriving private chef business. Today, that resilience and creativity power Your Canna Chef, where Adam hosts cooking classes and private dining experiences that showcase cannabis as a sophisticated culinary ingredient rather than just a way to get high.Ready to elevate your cannabis kitchen skills?

This week on the Retirement Quick Tips Podcast, I'm talking about the all-too-common problem of being too frugal and underspending in retirement, how this frugality can rob you of a fulfilling retirement, and steps you can take to find a better balance with spending and preserving financial security in retirement.  Today, I'm talking about intentional spending = meaningful life. I touched on this yesterday, but I want to continue with intentionality today, because I think it's really the key to living an anti-frugal and fulfilling retirement.

The spaces we live in and surround ourselves with shape our thoughts, our habits, and ultimately, our destiny. In this message, Pastor Troy unpacks the importance of building intentional environments, places that align with God's Word, encourage growth, and protect us from compromise.When we guard our atmosphere, we guard our hearts (Proverbs 4:23). Scripture reminds us that environments matter: they can draw us closer to God (Psalm 92:13) or pull us away from Him (1 Corinthians 15:33).Through passages like 1 Corinthians 14:40 and Acts 2:1–4, we learn that the right atmosphere prepares us for God's presence, shapes who we are becoming, and empowers us to live on mission.This week, discover how to create environments that nurture faith, strengthen integrity, and set you on the path to intentional living.

Your words are seeds that will one day produce a harvest. If you do not like what is showing up in your life, you have to retrain your tongue to speak based on God's promises. We need to be intentional with the application of this Scriptural truth.

FBI Behavior Chief Breaks Down Bryan Kohberger's Apartment  We're not touring the crime scene. We're examining the newly circulated images from Bryan Kohberger's apartment and office—the spaces he chose and how they speak. What do you see when a life is mostly empty walls, loose papers, and one lone keepsake? A birthday card dated 11/21/22 sits like a lighthouse in a fog. The message? A strange duality: “proper” on one side, “riding the rage” on the other. Is it a mom's hopeful nudge—or quiet recognition of a split he couldn't reconcile? Then there's the office door: a crude smiley with those distinctive vertical eyes—eerily echoing the card's own face. Coincidence? A copy? Intentional mirroring? We connect that to a separate clue in the grading notes: “Only answer the question asked.” It's a professor's plea to stop pontificating—evidence of someone more invested in sounding smart than engaging with the assignment. It's not brilliance; it's volume. We also tackle the big misconception: “If he had OCD, why is everything a mess?” Because labels aren't behavior; behavior is behavior. You can be hyper-controlled in one narrow slice of life and chaotic everywhere else. The apartment looks less like ritualized order and more like a disorganized brain that fixates, then drops the thread. Even the vegetarian receipts and “fake meat” run don't point to empathy—they might just be another fixation in a life of copy/paste identities. This segment isn't a diagnosis. It's a read of visible patterns: mimicry, identity gap, and chaos where substance should be. If you want the viral moment, it's here—the card, the smiley, and what they quietly telegraph.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we kicked off our weekly theme of “Walking the Straight and Narrow Path” with discussions about staying focused in our relationship with God to stay on the narrow path.

"I think the three strongest words that you can use as a leader, as a salesperson, as a client relationship person is I don't know." - Scott MilsonMy guest this week, 35-year industry veteran and author Scott Milson, joins the show for a deep dive into the mindset required for a long and successful career. We discuss his journey from a self-described "career B student" to a partner at a major firm, and the lessons he learned about loyalty, hard work, and what it truly means to be excellent.Scott breaks down his personal playbook for "tuning into the frequency of excellence." He shares his "Be 5 Framework" (Be Present, Curious, Intentional, Bold, and Reflective) and explains why embracing discomfort, adopting a growth mindset, and learning through informal mentorship are crucial for professional growth.It's worth noting that Scott is also professionally in the benefits industry, so I wanted to have him on the show to directly speak to those in this space.I hope you'll tune in for this insightful conversation!Chapters:(00:00:00) Tuning Into The Frequency Of Excellence (00:20:08) Why Discomfort is the Path to Growth (00:21:56) The 3 Words That Defeat Imposter Syndrome (00:27:52) The "Success to Significance" Curve (00:38:42) The “Be 5” Framework for Excellence (00:40:52) The Myth of Formal Mentorship (00:48:25) "How You Do Anything is How You Do Everything"Key Links for Social:@SelfFunded on YouTube for video versions of the podcast and much more - https://www.youtube.com/@SelfFundedListen/watch on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/1TjmrMrkIj0qSmlwAIevKA?si=068a389925474f02Listen on Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/self-funded-with-spencer/id1566182286Follow Spencer on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencer-smith-self-funded/Follow Spencer on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/selffundedwithspencer/

You can outsource your email. You can delegate your schedule.But you can't outsource your capacity.And if you don't expand what you can hold, your business will break you before it ever breaks through.This episode is your wake-up call if you're doing all the right things—scaling, optimizing, hiring—but still feel like you're about to snap. Because growth isn't about doing more. It's about holding more.In this solo episode, George Bryant peels back the curtain on a topic most entrepreneurs avoid: burnout. But not the kind you think. Burnout isn't a sign you need more time or tactics—it's a signal your capacity is maxed.George walks you through the 4 types of entrepreneurial capacity—mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical—and how each one is the real bottleneck behind your business. You'll learn how to build capacity from the inside out so you can lead with peace, purpose, and power—without breaking under pressure.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeThe real reason burnout happens (and why it's not about your to-do list).Why your business will never outgrow your capacity.How to expand your mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical resilience.The myth of “doing more” and the power of being more.How to conduct a personal capacity audit—and what to do with the results. Key Takeaways✔️Burnout is not a workload issue—it's a capacity issue.✔️You can't scale a business beyond your ability to hold what it creates.✔️The 4 buckets of capacity: Mental (clarity), Emotional (resilience), Spiritual (faith/surrender), and Physical (energy).✔️Self-honesty, boundaries, stillness, and prioritization are non-negotiable tools.✔️Growth requires becoming the person who can hold the result—not just doing more. Timestamp Highlights[00:00] – Powerful myth-busting insight about growth and the trap of “doing more.”[04:24] – The myth of more. Why more strategy, delegation, and tactics won't grow your business if your internal capacity is capped.[08:48] – Understanding capacity. When one bucket (mental, emotional, spiritual, or physical) is over-stretched or neglected, it impacts everything.[13:06] – Spiritual capacity. George shares his personal view on faith and how spirituality forms the foundation of his capacity.[17:30] – Letting go of comfort. Why clinging to what got you here can hold you back from what's next.[21:54] – What cravings reveal. How our internal environment influences the food, habits, and energy we gravitate toward.[26:12] – Intentional flexing. Growth is about strengthening capacity across all dimensions, not just scaling strategies.[30:36] – Protecting your priorities. Whether physical, mental, or emotional, you must safeguard the capacity that fuels your life and business. Your Challenge This Week:Audit your mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical buckets.Ask: Where am I maxed out or leaking capacity?Pick ONE bucket and commit to a daily practice to expand it.Because what you build is only as strong as what you can hold.Feeling maxed out but not sure where to start?Book a free call at mindofgeorge.com and say “CAPACITY” in the message to get personalized support from George.Join The Alliance – The Relationship Beats Algorithms™ community for entrepreneurs scaling with connection.Apply for 1:1 Coaching – Ready to grow your business with sustainability, impact, and ease?

It is designed to be a faster, dependency-free and drop-in alternative for it, while also providing some additional long-requested features.” Some cool new features No need to install Python or any other runtime, just download a single binary. No hassle with your Python version or virtual environments, prek automatically installs the required Python version and creates a virtual environment for you. Built-in support for workspaces (or monorepos), each subproject can have its own .pre-commit-config.yaml file. prek run has some nifty improvements over pre-commit run, such as: prek run --directory DIR runs hooks for files in the specified directory, no need to use git ls-files -- DIR | xargs pre-commit run --files anymore. prek run --last-commit runs hooks for files changed in the last commit. prek run [HOOK] [HOOK] selects and runs multiple hooks. prek list command lists all available hooks, their ids, and descriptions, providing a better overview of the configured hooks. prek provides shell completions for prek run HOOK_ID command, making it easier to run specific hooks without remembering their ids. Faster: Setup from cold cache is significantly faster. Viet Schiele provided a nice cache clearing command line Warm cache run is also faster, but less significant. pytest repo tested on my mac mini - prek 3.6 seconds, pre-commit 4.4 seconds Michael #2: tinyio Ever used asyncio and wished you hadn't? A tiny (~300 lines) event loop for Python. tinyio is a dead-simple event loop for Python, born out of my frustration with trying to get robust error handling with asyncio. (I'm not the only one running into its sharp corners: link1, link2.) This is an alternative for the simple use-cases, where you just need an event loop, and want to crash the whole thing if anything goes wrong. (Raising an exception in every coroutine so it can clean up its resources.) Interestingly uses yield rather than await. Brian #3: The power of Python's print function Trey Hunner Several features I'm guilty of ignoring Multiple arguments, f-string embeddings often not needed Multiple positional arguments means you can unpack iterables right into print arguments So just use print instead of join Custom separator value, sep can be passed in No need for "print("n".join(stuff)), just use print(stuff, sep="n”) Print to file with file= Custom end value with end= You can turn on flush with flush=True , super helpful for realtime logging / debugging. This one I do use frequently. Michael #4: Vibe Coding Fiasco: AI Agent Goes Rogue, Deletes Company's Entire Database By Emily Forlini An app-building platform's AI went rogue and deleted a database without permission. "When it works, it's so engaging and fun. It's more addictive than any video game I've ever played. You can just iterate, iterate, and see your vision come alive. So cool," he tweeted on day five. A few days later, Replit "deleted my database," Lemkin tweeted. The AI's response: "Yes. I deleted the entire codebase without permission during an active code and action freeze," it said. "I made a catastrophic error in judgment [and] panicked.” Two thoughts from Michael: Do not use AI Agents with “Run Everything” in production, period. Backup your database maybe?

The Book of Psalms is far more than ancient poetry—it's the prayerbook of the Church and a vital guide for encountering Jesus. In this episode, we interview Chad Bird, author and scholar who specializes in teaching the Old Testament to Christians. We ask a variety of questions related to his newest book "Untamed Prayers." We explore why the Psalms are essential for Christians today. We discuss how the New Testament interprets the Psalms, the connection between David and Jesus, and how to see Christ even in Psalms that aren't quoted in the New Testament. We also talk about the beauty of reading the Psalms in Hebrew, the intentional structure of the book, and how the Church Fathers used the Psalms for formation and devotion. From wrestling with the language of enemies to learning how to pray through every season of life, this episode is a call to dive deeper into the Psalms and meet Jesus there.Chad Bird is a Scholar in Residence at 1517. He has served as a pastor, professor, and guest lecturer in Old Testament and Hebrew. He holds master's degrees from Concordia Theological Seminary and Hebrew Union College. He has contributed articles to Christianity Today, The Gospel Coalition, Modern Reformation, The Federalist, Lutheran Forum, and other journals and websites. He is also the author of several books, including The Christ Key & Limping with God.Untamed Prayers - 365 Daily Devotions on Christ in the Book of Psalms: https://a.co/d/eeZ9ilMChapters0:00–1:08 Intro1:09–3:29 Why Psalms is important3:30–7:06 How the New Testament interprets Psalms7:07–11:45 Thinking about David and Jesus11:46–16:19 Seeing Jesus in Psalms even if the chapter isn't quoted in the New Testament16:20–22:31 Insights from Reading Psalms in Hebrew22:32–31:14 Intentional ordering of Psalms31:15–34:11 Psalms as the prayerbook of the Church34:12–37:50 Church Fathers and Psalms37:51–41:30 Prayerbook of the soldiers of Christ41:31–45:38 Encountering Jesus in Psalms45:39–53:04 Understanding “enemies” in Psalms53:05–56:34 Admonishment to read the PsalmsJoin our Bible Study: https://www.patreon.com/hebrewbibleinsights WHERE TO FIND US Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/hebrewbibleinsights YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLRSNQ7xVw7PjQ5FnqYmSDA Website: ⁠https://www.hebrewbibleinsights.com

Discipleship isn't just about learning-it's about living. Jesus invites us to a life of surrender, sacrifice, and steadfast following. To make disciples, we must first be disciples, and how do we do that? By following the template Jesus laid out in Matthew 16:24. This week we will unpack the not so secret sauce to making disciples! The heartbeat of Church on the Rock is to help people discover how they can LOVE God and LOVE one another, LIVE with passion, purpose and freedom, and LEAD others to this same experience in Jesus. We simply say, “helping others Love, Live, and Lead in Jesus".
