What does it mean for men and women to flourish together in God's design—not in spite of their differences, but because of them? In this episode of Native Exiles, we sit down with Dr. Gregg R. Allison, theologian and professor of Christian theology at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, to explore his latest book, Complementarity: Dignity, Difference, and Interdependence. Allison offers a vision of complementarity that goes far deeper than the typical debates. Rather than reducing the conversation to roles or authority, he roots his perspective in the equal worth of men and women, their meaningful distinctions, and the interdependence through which they thrive together. In our conversation, Gregg traces how the church has historically understood gender, how Scripture shapes a richer framework for thinking about dignity and difference, and why the modern church often struggles to apply these truths in a way that is both faithful and life-giving. He explains how complementarity is not merely a doctrinal position but a lived reality that shapes relationships, community, and the mission of the church. We also talk about the practical implications for everyday discipleship—how men and women serve alongside one another, how churches can cultivate environments of mutual flourishing, and how theology can help bridge divides rather than create them.Gregg Allison brings deep theological expertise and a pastor's heart, drawing from years of scholarship and ministry. Whether you're wrestling with contemporary questions about gender, seeking clarity on complementarian and egalitarian debates, or simply longing for a more beautiful vision of life together as God's people, this episode offers thoughtful, hopeful guidance.Native Exiles is a podcast from Alderwood Community Church, where we talk about following Jesus in the tension of being in the world but not of it.Gregg R. Allison is Professor of Christian Theology at Southern Seminary in Louisville, KY. Allison came to Southern in 2003.

*Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player. Summary “Walking Through the Fire Into Sonship” explores the transformative process of spiritual growth through the baptism of fire. The discussion reveals that this fire represents God's refining work, testing believers and burning away everything not aligned with His will. Through trials, correction, and surrender, we move from mere belief into experiential knowledge—true sonship. The speakers emphasize interdependence within the Body of Christ, where brothers and sisters strengthen and refine one another, and where walking with God means complete submission to His Spirit and will. Show Notes • The baptism of fire represents God's refining and testing of true believers. • Sonship comes through endurance, discipline, and surrender to God's will. • Walking with God involves deep correction, not just emotional experience. • True discipleship demands yielding personal ambitions and desires to Christ. • The process of fire burns away self-dependence and produces maturity in the Spirit. • Interdependence within the Body of Christ is vital for growth and perseverance. • Oneness in the family of God is key to fulfilling His divine purpose. Quotes • “You may not define what a baptism of fire is, but you want to walk with God.” – Ron • “Be careful what you ask for; walking with God brings trials and testing.” – Ken • “To be a disciple means to belong—body and soul—to Christ, now and forevermore.” – Debbie • “Our God is a consuming fire; He's going to burn up everything that's not Him.” – Ron • “Submitting to my brothers and sisters is submitting to the Lord—it's one and the same.” – Mike Scriptural References •

Sometimes we talk about nature as somewhere we go, but we are part of nature and share a deep interconnectedness with the rest of creation. In 1 Corinthians 12:12- 27, Paul teaches that each part of the body is essential to its function. Just as the body of Christ is interconnected, so too is all creation.
Mary Stone discusses the fascinating world of fungi, particularly Giant Puffball Mushrooms and Jack o' Lantern Mushrooms. She emphasizes the importance of proper identification for those who scavenge for wild mushrooms and shares the foolproof four suggested by Cabinlife.com. Additionally, Mary explains the concept of the Wood Wide Web, detailing the differences between mycorrhizal fungi and mycelium. Then concludes by reflecting on how we can learn from the natural world. Like the underground mycelium silently creating fertile soil, as more of us become aware of how destructive perpetuating violence and hate is, we are progressing towards peace. Thanks for tuning in!

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Hannah Aline Taylor to explore themes of personal responsibility, freedom, and interdependence through her frameworks like the Village Principles, Distribution Consciousness, and the Empowerment Triangle. Their conversation moves through language and paradox, equanimity, desire and identity, forgiveness, leadership, money and debt, and the ways community and relationship serve as our deepest resources. Hannah shares stories from her life in Nevada City, her perspective on abundance and belonging, and her practice of love and curiosity as tools for living in alignment. You can learn more about her work at loving.university, on her website hannahalinetaylor.com, and in her book The Way of Devotion, available on Amazon.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Stewart Alsop welcomes Hannah Aline Taylor, introducing Loving University, Nevada City, and the Village Principles.05:00 They talk about equanimity versus non-duality, emotional mastery, and curating experience through boundaries and high standards.10:00 The focus shifts to desire as “who do I want to be,” identity as abstraction, and relationships beyond monogamy or labels.15:00 Hannah introduces the Empowerment Triangle of anything, everything, nothing, reflecting on reality as it is and the role of perception.20:00 Discussion of Nevada City's healing energy, community respect, curiosity, and differences between East Coast judgment and West Coast freedom.25:00 Responsibility as true freedom, rebellion under tyranny, delicate ecosystems, and leadership inspired by the Dao De Jing.30:00 Love and entropy, conflict without enmity, curiosity as practice, and attention as the prerequisite for experience.35:00 Forgiveness, discernment, moral debts, economic debt, and reframing wealth consciousness through the “princess card.”40:00 Interdependence, community belonging, relationship as the real resource, and stewarding abundance in a disconnected world.45:00 Building, frontiers, wisdom of indigenous stewardship, the Amazon rainforest, and how knowledge without wisdom creates loss.50:00 Closing reflections on wholeness, abundance, scarcity, relationship technology, and prioritizing humanity in transition.Key InsightsHannah Taylor introduces the Village Principles as a framework for living in “distribution consciousness” rather than “acquisition consciousness.” Instead of chasing community, she emphasizes taking responsibility for one's own energy, time, and attention, which naturally draws people into authentic connection.A central theme is personal responsibility as the true meaning of freedom. For Hannah, freedom is inseparable from responsibility—when it's confused with rebellion against control, it remains tied to tyranny. Real freedom comes from holding high standards for one's life, curating experiences, and owning one's role in every situation.Desire is reframed from the shallow “what do I want” into the deeper question of “who do I want to be.” This shift moves attention away from consumer-driven longing toward identity, integrity, and presence, turning desire into a compass for embodied living rather than a cycle of lack.Language, abstraction, and identity are questioned as both necessary tools and limiting frames. Distinction is what fuels connection—without difference, there can be no relationship. Yet when we cling to abstractions like “monogamy” or “polyamory,” we obscure the uniqueness of each relationship in favor of labels.Hannah contrasts the disempowerment triangle of victim, perpetrator, and rescuer with her empowerment triangle of anything, everything, and nothing. This model shows reality as inherently whole—everything arises from nothing, anything is possible, and suffering begins when we believe something is wrong.The conversation ties money, credit, and debt to spiritual and moral frameworks. Hannah reframes debt not as a burden but as evidence of trust and abundance, describing her credit card as a “princess card” that affirms belonging and access. Wealth consciousness, she says, is about recognizing the resources already present.Interdependence emerges as the heart of her teaching. Relationship is the true resource, and abundance is squandered when lived independently. Stories of Nevada City, the Amazon rainforest, and even a friend's Wi-Fi outage illustrate how scarcity reveals the necessity of belonging, curiosity, and shared stewardship of both community and land.

Solo mini show today. We often hear that hip bone is connected to the knee bone and pain in one area is a victim of a "dysfunction" somewhere else. Its a foundation of the kinesiopathological model and lead to the idea that if someone has joint pain you should train at a joint around that pain. Eg. If your knee hurts you train the hips as well. And we have plenty of pragmatic evidence that it helps. Hip exercises should be added to knee exercises when you have knee pain. The problem is that we don't know why. Hence, I reject the impairment correction model of this and offer another way to prescribe exercise and give different opinions on how to tailor you exercise prescriptions to people in pain. Providing options should be a foundation of person centred care.
In this episode, editor-in-chief Arielle Angel speaks with filmmaker Sarah Friedland and feminist scholar and activist Lynne Segal about aging through a feminist lens, on the occasion of the digital release of Friedland's award-winning film Familiar Touch. The film follows cookbook author Ruth Goldman (Kathleen Chalfant) as she transitions to a memory care unit in an assisted living facility and struggles with a shifting sense of self and a different relationship to dependence and care.Friedland was inspired to tell this story by watching the fiercely independent women in her grandmother's Jewish Communist milieu as they aged, as well as by Segal's book Out of Time: The Pleasures and Perils of Ageing—particularly its description of how aging renders the elder at once “all ages and no age,” and capable of experiencing time in less linear ways.

Jarek Berga - August 10th 2025 This week we paused our King and His Kingdom series for a timely message on avoiding the two ditches that can derail our walk with Jesus—independence and codependence. Drawing from Hebrews 10 and Galatians 6, we're challenged to embrace interdependence: owning our personal load while helping bear one another's burdens in Christ. Along the way, Pastor Jarek shares personal stories, practical confessions, and commitments that foster a healthy, rooted community.

For decades, Joseph Nye was one of the true giants of American foreign policy. His career, in government and in the academy, spanned epochs, and his body of work as a scholar of international relations remains unparalleled. Nye, who passed away at the age of 88 in May, served in the Carter and Clinton administrations and headed the Harvard Kennedy School for nearly two decades. But he may be best known for his contributions to the study of international relations. Nye coined the term “soft power” and co-authored Power and Interdependence, a pathbreaking analysis of geopolitics, with Robert Keohane. Fifty years later, Nye and Keohane, longtime colleagues and friends, reunited for a final time in Foreign Affairs' pages, to argue that President Donald Trump's single-minded fixation on hard power risks weakening the real sources of U.S. strength. It is a fitting, if not exactly valedictory, culmination of a life in the American century. Over the decades, Keohane got to know Nye the thinker and Nye the man better than almost anyone. Dan Kurtz-Phelan spoke with Keohane about Nye's legacy and about what a changing American foreign policy will mean for the future of international relations.

Stablecoins have grown from a total value of ~$2 billion in 2019 to over $230 billion by early 2025, enabling $33 trillion in transactions across 236 million wallets. But beneath this growth lies a deep — and fragile — dependence on the U.S. Treasury market.Professor Yesha Yadav of Vanderbilt Law School and Brendan Malone, formerly of Paradigm, the Federal Reserve Board, and MIT, discuss their paper on the critical but underexamined relationship between U.S. dollar stablecoins and Treasuries. They unpack why Treasuries act as the “anchor” for stablecoins, explore operational and liquidity risks, and outline what policy changes might be necessary to avert a crisis.Timestamps: ➡️ 00:00 — Intro➡️ 01:10 — Sponsor: Hedera Council is hiring a legal counsel➡️ 02:40 — Why is the U.S. Treasury market so critical to stablecoins?➡️ 04:32 — Treasuries as “cash equivalents” and risk-free assets➡️ 07:33 — What does it mean to “hold” Treasuries?➡️ 11:38 — Liquidity and operational risks➡️ 14:34 — Changing structure of Treasury markets➡️ 16:12 — 24/7 crypto vs. limited-hour Treasury markets➡️ 20:06 — Systemic risk scenarios➡️ 28:27 — The urgent need for preemptive policy solutions➡️ 33:22 — Regulatory fragmentation: “everyone's responsible, so no one is”➡️ 38:51 — Possible reforms: more short-term issuance, repo market, reserves access➡️ 40:53 — Treasuries as “risk-free” assets — myth vs. reality➡️ 46:23 — Potential Fed facilities and why they aren't in place yet➡️ 51:06 — Bonus: Hedera Council's General Counsel Gregory Schneider on their open position.Sponsor: Hedera Council is hiring a legal counsel.

Last week, we explored the power of personal independence: Liberating the self through faith, clarity, and spiritual conviction. This Sunday, Rev. Dr. Andriette expands the conversation with a message on The Independence of Interdependence.True freedom isn't found in isolation.

Chapter 3 explores the transformation from individual autonomy to a shared, interdependent relationship—the “Us.” This chapter emphasizes that a healthy “Us” is not about merging or losing oneself but about forming a bond that honors both partners' individuality while fostering deep connection and mutual care. Interdependence, defined by shared responsibility, emotional support, and mutual reliance, is contrasted with both enmeshment and total independence. Emotional intimacy and interdependence create a foundation for growth, trust, and resilience, showing that truly knowing and caring for each other leads not just to survival but to thriving.

Danica Shoan Ankele, Osho - ZMM - 7/6/25 - The teachings of dependent origination tell us that all that arises does so with all of reality: "because of this, that, and because of that, this." In studying what we call “the self,” Shoan Osho reminds us that we are not a fixed, unchanging element among all the other aspects of life. Rather, we are the manifestation of causes and conditions, interdependent with all of reality, full of innate wisdom and compassion. This is the benefit of our practice; it is our true interdependence.

On the five-year anniversary of Responsibly Different™, we're diving deep into why healthy media ecosystems matter—not just for brands, but for the very fabric of our communities and democracy. Our Founder Chris and Impact Director Benn reflect on the last 5 years of the podcast and the next chapter of the Responsibly Different™ podcast.Did you know counties that lose their local newspapers see a 2-3% drop in voter turnout? Or that 75% of Americans trust local news compared to only 58% who trust national outlets? As these vital information sources struggle financially, the ripple effects touch everything from civic engagement to community health outcomes.The podcast explores how programmatic buying, while efficient, often delivers just pennies on the dollar to publishers compared to direct relationships. This financial reality has forced newsrooms to stretch resources dangerously thin, cutting staff and replacing local content with syndicated material. Host Chris Marine shares firsthand experiences from his early career in journalism, painting a vivid picture of what happens when newsrooms lack adequate funding.We're examining the tension between efficiency and responsibility in media planning. While direct publisher relationships require more time and human interaction, they create stronger partnerships, better placements, and support vital community resources. However, the traditional marketing timeline—where media is treated as the last box to check—makes this approach difficult to execute effectively.The conversation shifts to how AI and technology advancements are enabling more relevant, contextual messaging that respects audience mindsets throughout their day. Rather than viewing these tools as replacements for human judgment, we see them as opportunities to free marketers to focus on the ethical dimensions of their work.Listen now to join our exploration of media's role in society and how brands can leverage their advertising investments as a force for good while achieving business objectives.

In this episode of Quick Fire Friday, host Rob Cameron interviews transformational executive coach Will Samson of WillSamson.com. Will shares his approach to helping IT executives and small business owners manage chaos by focusing on internal transformation and “radical self-ownership.” He emphasizes the power of identifying what can and cannot be controlled, using personal narratives to reshape outcomes. Through compelling case studies—including a CFO overcoming trauma and a successful post-merger integration—Will illustrates how shifting mindset leads to measurable business success. Listeners are encouraged to clarify their own controllable factors to gain focus and resilience. Key Takeaways for Small Business Owners: Practice Radical Self-Ownership: Take complete responsibility for your internal state and actions. Lasting business success starts with personal transformation. Control What You Can, Release What You Can't: Create a simple list of what's within your control versus what isn't. This clarity helps reduce overwhelm and sharpen focus. Your Internal Narrative Shapes Your Reality: The stories you tell yourself influence how you respond to challenges. Rewriting those stories can lead to better decisions and outcomes. Our hero crafts outstanding reviews following the experience of listening to our special guests. Are you the one we've been waiting for? Success Brings New Challenges: Growth isn't the end of struggle—it introduces new layers of complexity. Be prepared to adapt your mindset and systems as you scale. Interdependence Beats Independence: You can't do it all alone. Building systems and relationships around shared support fosters sustainable success. Business Chaos is Often Personal Chaos: Many external challenges reflect unresolved internal conflicts. Addressing the personal side of leadership often unlocks the solutions to business problems. One action small business owners can take: According to Will Samson, one action a small business owner should take is to make a list dividing what they can control and what they can't—this simple exercise brings clarity, reduces overwhelm, and empowers focused, intentional decision-making.
