Dr. Robert Letham joins Lane Tipton and Camden Bucey to discuss Dr. Letham's recent book The Eternal Son (P&R Publishing). Their conversation presses into a simple but urgent claim: Christology is not a side department of theology—it is the living center. When the church loses clarity about who the Son is, the gospel itself becomes unclear, because salvation depends on the identity of the Savior. They also explore why the church must listen carefully to the whole ecumenical tradition, especially the often-neglected debates after Chalcedon. Letham explains why it matters that the acting subject in the Gospels is the eternal Son, who assumes a true human nature without change in his divine person. From there, they engage contemporary confusions—especially biblicism that isolates Scripture from the church's confession—and they address the claim that Christ was "adopted" at the resurrection, showing how such proposals unravel both orthodox Christology and the gracious character of adoption for believers.

For a lot of disability parents, the behavioral side of our child's diagnosis often gets judged the fastest and is understood the least. It's also another part that can make us feel like we're failing, because it's so hard to “control.”In this episode, Alyssa talks with Annie and Katie about behavioral disability and nervous system dysregulation in rare disease parenting. We cover what it looks like when behaviors don't fade with age, how it changes when kids get older and stronger, and what it's like to live in constant hypervigilance especially when there are siblings in the mix.We also dig into isolation, exclusion (even in disability spaces), and why access to services can depend on having the “right” labels beyond a rare disease diagnosis. If you've ever felt like this part of your child's disability is the hardest to explain and the heaviest to carry, this episode is for you.And our FUEL The Rare Life fundraiser is live!

The Best Worst Thing That Ever Happened A conversation on sobriety, entrepreneurship, and rebuilding a life that actually works There's a certain kind of person who can build something from nothing. They're driven. Intense. Creative. Restless. They work hard. They push. They win. And sometimes… they self-destruct. In this conversation, Tim shares what it looked like to be both a high-achieving entrepreneur and a blackout drinker—and how recovery didn't just save his life, it reshaped his ambition, identity, and purpose. This isn't a story about "before and after." It's a story about learning how to live differently.     The drive started early Tim began drinking in middle school after his parents divorced and he moved to a new town. Trying to fit in quickly became the gateway to alcohol and drugs. At the same time, he was already wired for achievement. In college, he launched a painting business, hired teams, ran sales and marketing, and made real money—while partying just as hard. That "work hard, play hard" rhythm followed him into adulthood. Success grew. So did the consequences. A devastating drunk-driving crash left him with a traumatic brain injury and months of recovery. Even then, he didn't stop drinking—he just learned how to drink harder and longer. If anything, achievement became another way to avoid looking at what was really happening.     High performance can hide a lot Tim went on to build businesses, lead teams, and outperform expectations. But behind the scenes: drugs escalated relationships deteriorated burnout intensified drinking became non-negotiable He describes always being "the most messed up person at every event," even while breaking performance records. That's the part people don't talk about. Addiction doesn't always look like collapse. Sometimes it looks like productivity.     The moment everything broke The turning point came after a blackout weekend that ended his marriage. It wasn't just one mistake—it was the undeniable accumulation of years of denial. Within days, he attended his first AA meeting. He hadn't planned a recovery journey. He just knew his life couldn't keep going like that. He started going to meetings every day. Sometimes two a day. He got a sponsor, worked the steps, and immersed himself in service. That structure became his lifeline.     Recovery didn't shrink his life—it expanded it One of the biggest myths about sobriety is that it takes things away. For Tim, it gave him: community purpose emotional connection clarity direction He learned to build intimacy with other people without substances. He learned to cry, share honestly, and ask for help. He learned that vulnerability wasn't weakness—it was relief. And slowly, ambition changed shape. Instead of chasing validation, he started building a life rooted in service and meaning. Today, he works in recovery, supports others, and still channels his drive—but with balance and intention.     The routines that keep him grounded Recovery isn't a single decision. It's a daily structure. Tim's core practices include: morning prayer and meditation gratitude lists exercise and physical health journaling and learning service and community time with people who support his growth He describes gratitude as essential: "If I'm grateful, then I'm not a victim."  Exercise, too, became foundational—not just for fitness, but for mental and emotional stability. He calls it part of his "solution," not just a habit.     The entrepreneurial paradox There's a pattern many high performers recognize: intense focus extreme discipline relentless drive These traits build companies. But without awareness, they also: fuel burnout mask emotional pain replace one addiction with another Recovery didn't remove Tim's intensity. It taught him how to channel it without destroying himself. Balance became the new metric—not output.     Action Steps: What you can take from this conversation You don't need to be in addiction to benefit from recovery principles. These are life principles. 1) Build a grounding morning routine Start simple: gratitude stillness reflection Consistency matters more than complexity. 2) Replace extremes with consistency You don't need heroic bursts of effort. You need steady, repeatable actions. 3) Notice where achievement becomes avoidance Ask yourself: Am I building… or escaping? Am I creating… or distracting? 4) Find your people Recovery happens in connection. Whether it's: 12-step meetings coaching groups fitness communities spiritual spaces Isolation keeps people stuck. 5) Anchor your life in service Helping others stabilizes your own growth. It creates meaning that performance alone never will.     Resources Mentioned Books The Four Agreements — Don Miguel Ruiz Living Untethered — Michael Singer Practices AA / 12-step community meditation + gratitude routines exercise for mental regulation yoga and breathwork cold exposure / recovery practices Recovery & Treatment Work Camelback Recovery TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) as a non-invasive mental health support approach Guest Contact Info: https://www.camelbackrecovery.com/

Welcome to the Mothers Who Know Podcast, hosted by Karen Broadhead—a faith-based place for women to remember the Spirit God gave them, reject isolation and shame, and strengthen their ability to support their families through Jesus Christ.In this Mom Power episode, we talk about one of the most common (and most costly) beliefs moms carry:“I can do it myself… I have to do it myself.”When parenting is hard—especially when a child or loved one is struggling with pornography, depression, anxiety, self-harm, or other unwanted behaviors—many moms quietly try to push through alone. But isolation is exactly where shame grows, and where Satan works us over.In this conversation you'll hear:Why “doing it alone” often comes from fear, shame, embarrassment, or feeling like you don't have anyoneHow to keep Heaven as your #1 team member when human support feels limited or unsafeWhy building a real support system takes time (friendship is built in hours, not minutes)The power of vulnerability + boundaries: “This is what I can do, and this is what I cannot do.”A testimony-driven reminder: you are not weak for needing support—teams are God's designIf you've ever wanted “one person to cry on their couch,” or felt stuck trying to carry everything alone, this episode is for you.

The Invisible Taxes That Are Quietly Stealing Your Wealth Most people think taxes are the biggest drain on their money. The truth is the silent taxes hurt far more. In this episode, I break down the hidden wealth killers that no one talks about. Idle cash sitting in the wrong accounts. Missed automation. Delayed investing. Financial arrogance. Overwhelm. Doomscrolling. Fear of asking for help. These are not one time mistakes. They are repeated small leaks that compound against you over time. We walk through real examples of how these invisible taxes show up and exactly how to eliminate them with simple structure and awareness. The danger is not one bad decision. The danger is repeating it quietly for years. Once you see it, you cannot ignore it. Episode Timeline and Highlights 00:00 The tax no one sees 01:30 Idle account tax 04:00 Automation lag 06:00 Ego and blind spots 08:00 Awareness gaps 10:00 Distraction cost 12:00 Isolation and fear 14:00 Compound damage 16:00 The choice you now have Key Takeaways • Idle money is lost opportunity • Delays kill compounding • Ego blocks optimization • Awareness creates leverage • Repeated small leaks create massive long term damage Quotables "The government is not your biggest tax. Your habits are." "Every month without a system is an invisible bill." "Small leaks compound into massive losses." Now you have awareness. You cannot unhear it. Fix the system or keep paying the price.

What separates six-figure entrepreneurs from seven-figure icons? Kathryn Porritt breaks down the luxury brand framework that commands premium prices. First, master one hyper-specific skill. Generalists struggle at the top—luxury clients pay for depth, not breadth. Your expertise needs years of proven results, not surface-level knowledge. Second, flip your business model. Most entrepreneurs start cheap and climb up. Luxury brands launch with high-ticket offers ($100K+) immediately, building credibility that flows downward. Third, surround yourself with peers who understand your journey. Isolation kills momentum. Community creates accountability and opens opportunities.

What happens when success looks good on paper—but feels heavy behind the scenes?In this episode, Stacey sits down with longtime friend and seasoned short-term rental operator Beata Lawrence for a deeply honest conversation about leadership, loneliness, and the power of the right community. With over a decade in the STR industry, Beata shares what it was like building before there were playbooks, Facebook groups, or proven paths—and how connection became the missing ingredient that changed everything.This episode goes beyond tactics and into the emotional and identity shifts required to sustain success without burnout.We talk about:What it was really like building an STR business before community and resources existedWhy isolation is one of the biggest (and quietest) threats to successful entrepreneursThe concept of “borrowed courage” and why even confident leaders need itHow to recognize when you've outgrown a room—and what to do nextLetting go of properties, paths, or identities that no longer alignWhy alignment, nervous-system safety, and support matter more than scale aloneIf you've ever felt successful but unsupported, confident but quietly overwhelmed, or strong while still wishing someone could walk you off the ledge—this conversation is your reminder that community isn't a luxury. It's a requirement.⏱️ Highlights & Key Moments[02:52] Beata shares what it felt like building in the early days with no roadmap[07:14] The emotional cost of “figuring it out alone”[10:54] Borrowed courage: leaning on others when your confidence wavers[15:18] Knowing when a property—or a season—is no longer aligned[19:17] Outgrowing communities and why staying too long can stall growth[24:47] Why success without support is not sustainable[30:04] Redefining what “enough” looks like in business and lifeGolden Nuggets“You don't need more information—you need the right people.”“Borrowed courage can carry you until yours catches up.”“Just because something is profitable doesn't mean it's sustainable for you.”“Outgrowing a room isn't betrayal—it's evolution.”“You were never meant to do hard things alone.”

Gone Guys explores a “quiet crisis” in our communities, hidden in plain sight: the increasing disengagement and isolation of boys and young men. Set in rural Vermont, this documentary brings national data to life highlighting the struggles faced by boys and young men and sets the stage for a meaningful conversation. Over the past fifty years, boys and young men have steadily disengaged from school, work, and broader society. They're falling behind academically, struggling with loneliness and isolation, and facing rising rates of substance abuse and suicide.This 45-minute documentary draws on the influential work of Richard V. Reeves' “Of Boys and Men”, illuminating these challenges through powerful data and compelling personal stories. Many of us have experienced these issues first-hand, but it can be difficult to talk about them. It's not an either-or choice: caring more about boys and men does not mean caring less about women and girls.The film brings national data to life with engaging animation accompanying lived experience featuring young men, educators, mentors, and trailblazing programs that are working to re-engage boys and young men in their communities and reshape their futures.Website: goneguysfilm.com Support the show

High achievers have hundreds of contacts but no real brothers. Networking events leave you emptier than you arrived.Don't ask to "pick my brain"—you're missing the point. I'm here for connection, not transactions. Real brotherhood versus surface level: you need men who see your darkness and don't flinch. They call you on your bullshit, celebrate your wins without jealousy, show up when everything falls apart. Jesus knew which disciple would betray him but let him stay. That's the humility.Isolation isn't power—it's poison masquerading as strength. Work 4 hours, get more done than someone working 8. Stillness allows movement to compound. Who cares how zoomed in you are if the resolution is dog shit. You weren't meant to carry the weight alone.Listen if you're ready to build the tribe that makes you better. Lonely kings die early.

Travis Chappell is the creator and host of the Travis Makes Money podcast and a veteran interviewer who has produced over a thousand episodes across his shows. In this episode, Travis sits down in-studio with his producer Eric, a longtime content creator and podcaster himself, to unpack how technology, social media, and on-demand convenience are quietly reshaping our relationships, loneliness, and real-world social skills—and what to do about it. On this episode we talk about: Why Rainn Wilson says he'd be “screwed” if he were in his 20s today with phones, porn, and endless content How social media and AI chatbots create the illusion of connection while deepening loneliness The loss of shared, in-person experiences (like Blockbuster nights) in an on-demand, delivery-app world How convenience culture and online dating let you avoid discomfort—but also real growth and real relationships Practical ways to rebuild a real social life in 2026: analog habits, micro “resistance” moves, and saying “one more thing” in person Top 3 Takeaways Social media is media consumption, not a replacement for your social life; scrolling and DMing don't count as real-world connection. Technology makes it easy to optimize for comfort (delivery apps, online dating, AI chats), but the most effective path to deep relationships is still in-person, uncomfortable reps. Simple habits—working from a coffee shop, talking to baristas, skipping self-checkout, carrying a book, and being okay with “not knowing everything”—can dramatically reduce isolation over time. Notable Quotes “Stop treating social media as your social life—it's media, not connection.” “People are optimizing for the easiest path, not the most effective one.” “Be okay being the person who doesn't know every headline; you don't need a fully formed opinion on 14 current events to have a real life.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell​ Twitter/X: https://x.com/traviscchappell​ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell​ Other: https://travischappell.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Thanks for joining us this Sunday as we worship and listen to the Word brought by Pastor Mark.Sacred Community is people deeply connected to God and deeply connected to each otherwith respect, reverence, and responsibility.What the enemy is fighting for is exactly what we must fight against: isolation, disconnection, and loneliness.We show up when there's a crisis.But most of us don't know our neighbors' names.We barely recognize their faces.We are an isolated society.And too often, our churches reflect very littleof what the early church actually lived and experienced.“In this sacred connection we encourage, strengthen, bear burdens, heal, refine, and love.Any human need can be met through another human hand whose heart is held by God.”— Dr. Shelly HoganWe were created for connection.From the womb to the tomb, relationship affects our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health.Yet when people struggle, they isolate.They do the opposite of God's design.Isolation feeds mental illness.And many of our battles are spiritual in nature.Biblical figures like Elijah and David faced burnout, anxiety, and despair.Struggle does not disqualify faith.But isolation does weaken us.If you are struggling:Identify what piece of spiritual armor may be missing.Don't let anxious thoughts dictate your actions.Stop claiming struggle as your identity.It is something you face, not who you are.Instead of running from people, run to them.Do the opposite of what your flesh tells you to do.If we are created for connection,disconnection is not an option.Because if everyone isolates,who will we run to?If everyone is anxious,where will peace be found?We are not meant to live as individuals.God ordained us as a peopleto carry the Great Commission together.There are two communities being built:one for earthly kingdomsand one for the Kingdom of God.Love is the driving force.Without it, nothing we do matters.We are better together.We accomplish more together.And isolation may be the very thing keeping the worldfrom hearing the Good News.

OnThe New Stack Agents, Gavriel Cohen discusses why he built NanoClaw, a minimalist alternative to OpenClaw, after discovering security and architectural flaws in the rapidly growing agentic framework. Cohen, co-founder of AI marketing agencyQwibit, had been running agents across operations, sales, and research usingClaude Code. When Clawdbot (laterOpenClaw) launched, it initially seemed ideal. But Cohen grew concerned after noticing questionable dependencies—including his own outdated GitHub package—excessive WhatsApp data storage, a massive AI-generated codebase nearing 400,000 lines, and a lack of OS-level isolation between agents. In response, he createdNanoClawwith radical minimalism: only a few hundred core lines, minimal dependencies, and containerized agents. Built around Claude Code “skills,” NanoClaw enables modular, build-time integrations while keeping the runtime small enough to audit easily. Cohen argues AI changes coding norms—favoring duplication over DRY, relaxing strict file limits, and treating code as disposable. His goal is simple, secure infrastructure that enterprises can fully understand and trust.   Learn more from The New Stack about the latest around personal AI agents Anthropic: You can still use your Claude accounts to run OpenClaw, NanoClaw and Co.

In this powerful behind-the-scenes conversation, I sit down with Marc Hildebrand — former LAPD sergeant turned high-performance coach — to unpack what men are actually thinking before they decide to step into brotherhood. We break down the hidden anxiety, ego, embarrassment, and "mind talk" that keeps men isolated, stuck, and spinning in quiet defeat.   You'll hear raw audio from one of our members, Tim Cox, as he shares what life looked like before he joined — the mental spiral, the weight gain, the doctor's warning, the loneliness, and the breakthrough that changed everything. This episode isn't just about business or health. It's about identity. It's about the stories we tell ourselves. And it's about the moment a man decides he's no longer doing life alone.     Timeline Summary [0:00] Why men feel defeated before they ever ask for help [3:37] Marc Hildebrand's transformation from overweight LAPD sergeant to coach [9:20] Tim's confession: anxiety, mind talk, and feeling like a fraud [11:01] The danger of "should" statements and internal pressure [17:22] Ego, embarrassment, and the fear of being seen [24:58] The doctor's ultimatum: insulin or change [27:01] Dopamine, food, and emotional coping [30:52] Rock bottom isn't a place — it's a decision [34:22] Why you shouldn't wait until crisis hits [37:54] "You're not alone" — the most powerful realization [41:03] The myth of the lone wolf [44:21] Inside Base Camp: the first 6 weeks of transformation [46:19] The BRAVE Man Code framework explained [49:57] Thinking differently and leveling up identity [53:39] Why Larry left a lucrative corporate career to build The Dad Edge     Five Key Takeaways Rock bottom is not a location — it's a decision to stop going lower. Ego often disguises itself as embarrassment and self-protection. Isolation amplifies anxiety — brotherhood dissolves it. Health transformation starts with identity, not tactics. You don't have to wait for crisis to change direction.     Links & Resources Dad Edge Alliance Preview Call: http://thedadedge.com/preview Dad Edge Business Boardroom (Mastermind): https://thedadedge.com/mastermind Episode Show Notes & Resources: https://thedadedge.com     Closing Remark If you've been telling yourself you'll change when it "gets bad enough," this is your sign not to wait.

We're diving deep into Francis Weller's third gate of grief: the sorrows of the world. This gate reminds us that collective losses like wars, violence, injustice, and environmental destruction impact us whether we acknowledge them or not. We are interdependent beings, wired for connection, and when we try to shut down our caring to protect ourselves, we sacrifice our capacity for joy, flexibility, and resilience. The challenge is to trust our intuitive drive to care and connect, even when it feels uncomfortable. We'll offer some practical strategies to meet that challenge and to help you stay open to collective grief without being overwhelmed by it. CONTENT WARNING: This episode discusses gun violence.

Why are you still struggling with the same sin even though you're praying, reading your Bible, and trying harder? In this episode, Pastor Roderick Webster reveals a powerful truth from John 11:44 that changes everything. When Lazarus walked out of the tomb, he was alive but still wrapped in graveclothes—and Jesus didn't tell him to unwrap himself. He commanded the community to help him get free. You cannot break free from your struggles alone. Isolation keeps you stuck. But real Christian community—the kind where you're known, accountable, and challenged—is where breakthrough happens. Learn the three practical steps to stop hiding, find trustworthy accountability, and let the body of Christ help you unwrap what you can't remove on your own. If you've been fighting alone and losing, this message will show you why community isn't optional—it's essential.- Understand why isolation keeps you bound and community sets you free- Learn three practical steps to find real accountability- Discover what community can see that you can't see on your ownFather, I confess I've been trying to break free alone. Give me courage to stop hiding, humility to ask for help, and wisdom to find the right community. In Jesus' name, amen.

In this public portion of 15 February 2026's Sunday Morning Live, Stefan Molyneux examines the links between addiction, childhood trauma, and societal isolation, reflecting on its messy realities and the need for personal accountability in environments shaped by neglect. Drawing from his experiences and cultural insights, he shows how loneliness pushes people toward substances as a way to cope, tracing the cycles that trap those predisposed to it amid the tension between real connections and shallow societal demands. He highlights the challenge of building deep relationships in a world of empty interactions, framing addiction as an escape from inner turmoil, and calls for self-awareness to confront its broader damage while finding paths to healing through genuine bonds and candid talk.The livestream continues to a donor-only hour!

When the house gets quiet and the weight of missing your child feels heavier than you can possibly bear, it's natural to look for a place to retreat. Whether you are leaning on your family to carry the weight or retreating inward to manage it all alone, you might be surprised to find that your "hiding place" is actually a response to the hidden layers of grief that no one warned you about. This episode is a gentle but honest look at how we survive the unthinkable. We're moving past the surface-level "I'm fine" and looking at the patterns that quietly shape your days. If you feel like you're stuck in a cycle of just getting through the next hour, this conversation will help you identify the deeper layers keeping you isolated so you can begin to find your way back to a place of connection. Inside this conversation, you'll discover: The "Hiding Place" Audit: How to identify where you are retreating—whether it's through "staying busy," scrolling, or complete emotional shutdown. The Burden of the Surviving Child: A candid look at whether you are unintentionally asking your other children to carry more than they were meant to. Isolation vs. Solitude: Why your current coping mechanisms might be keeping you stuck in survival mode instead of moving toward healing. The "Function over Feeling" Trap: Why staying busy feels like safety, but might actually be the very thing keeping your heart from finding rest. I want you to know that you don't have to carry the heavy layers of loss by yourself. There is a safe place for you to be seen, heard, and understood without judgment. Press play, take a deep breath, and remember that even in your darkest hiding place, God sees you, He loves you, and He is waiting to meet you right where you are.   ✨ Live Gathering for Grieving Moms — February 26 & 27 If you're realizing that life without your child has shifted everything — the way you see yourself, your relationships, and the future you thought you were moving toward — you don't have to navigate that disorientation on your own. I'm hosting a two-day live gathering for grieving moms. This will be a time to come together, be present, and talk honestly about grief, identity, and what it looks like to keep lliving when life no longer feels familiar.

After a near-fatal battle with depression, Mark Meier got the help he needed to recover. That experience inspired him to co-found the Face It Foundation and help other men find connection, understanding, and healing through peer support groups. Mark and Jamie talk about the challenges men face when it comes to addressing mental health issues, as well as the negative impacts of avoiding those struggles. They also discuss how these challenges can show up for farmers, how rural communities may have some unique benefits when it comes to making connections, and the role of faith in recovery. This episode contains content about depression, suicide, and mental health conditions that may be distressing.

Mit 25 kommt er zum ersten Mal mit Kokain in Kontakt. Was sich zunächst wie ein Push und wie „Farbfernsehen“ anfühlt, wird Schritt für Schritt zur Abhängigkeit: erst am Wochenende, dann im Alltag, dann im Job. Er beschreibt den Kontrollverlust, das Doppelleben, die Scham, das Lügen, die Isolation und den Moment, in dem seine Partnerin ein Ultimatum stellt.Wir sprechen darüber, warum Sucht oft unsichtbar bleibt, warum Rückfälle Teil einer chronischen Erkrankung sein können, und welche Rolle Therapie, Offenheit und ein neuer Sinn im Leben spielen. Eine Folge über Ehrlichkeit, Verantwortung, Hilfe annehmen und den Mut, einen neuen Weg zu gehen, auch wenn man nicht weiß, wohin er führt.Wenn du dich in Teilen wiedererkennst oder jemanden kennst, der kämpft: Du bist nicht allein. Hol dir Unterstützung.Themen: Kokainabhängigkeit, Scham, Kindheit, Trauma, Therapie, Rückfall, Recovery, Beziehungen, mentale GesundheitTrigger Hinweis: Gewalt in der Kindheit, Sucht, emotionaler MissbrauchHagen's Podcast -  IM RAUSCH

In 2023, ITRC published the Sediment Cap Chemical Isolation Guidance to supplement the 2014 Contaminated Sediments Remediation Guidance with the goal of improving consistency in sediment cap performance outcomes. Sediment capping is a commonly selected remediation approach and numerous designs have been completed. Previous cap designs have been evaluated in multiple ways, and these varying approaches have led to some differences in selection of chemical design criteria, construction tolerance specifications, and monitoring/maintenance objectives for sites with similar characteristics and contaminants, leading to different expectations for long-term performance and reliability. The ITRC Sediment Cap Chemical Isolation Guidance provides a framework for the design, construction, and long-term monitoring of the chemical isolation function of sediment caps. The framework consists of an iterative design process informed by site-specific data that balances achievement of chemical design criteria, physical design constraints, constructability and permitting requirements. In addition, the guidance summarizes key construction considerations and presents a recommended approach for monitoring and evaluating long-term chemical isolation performance. The recommended framework presented in the Sediment Cap Chemical Isolation Guidance is illustrated below. The Sediment Cap Chemical Isolation Training will cover several key elements of the recommended framework, including: A capping overview that summarizes objectives of capping, role of the chemical isolation layer, and generic cap types and compositions. A discussion of performance objectives and design concepts that includes the selection of chemical isolation performance targets criteria and development of design criteria while considering the site setting and conceptual site model elements. An overview of chemical isolation layer modeling tools and discussion of their applicability to support chemical isolation design, important model input parameters, and the impact of uncertainty and sensitivity of modeling results. A summary of chemical isolation construction considerations, including an overview of available construction methods and tolerances and quality assurance and quality control measures. A discussion of cap performance monitoring and maintenance objectives and approaches that include developing monitoring objectives to assess chemical isolation performance and methods for guiding long-term maintenance decisions. We encourage participants to review the ITRC Sediment Cap Chemical Isolation Guidance (SD-1) before and after the training to become familiar with the topics and recommendations discussed during the training. This training is intended for all environmental professionals working in the field of sediment capping projects, including regulators and other government agency staff, consultants, project stakeholders, and industry.

This week we're discussing Even If: Trusting God Through the Fire Life as a solo parent rarely feels clean or compartmentalized. You can be deeply grateful for your kids and still feel overwhelmed. You can trust God and still feel disappointed. You can be functioning on the outside while quietly unraveling on the inside. In this episode, Robert Beeson, Founder & CEO of Solo Parent, and Elizabeth Cole, single parent, sit down with Bart Millard, lead singer of MercyMe and songwriter behind the multi-platinum hit "I Can Only Imagine," along with Shannon Millard, co-author of Even If: Trusting God Through the Fire. Together, they talk about chronic hardship, depression, loss, and what it looks like to keep showing up when healing does not happen the way you hoped. Many solo parents wrestle with silent comparisons, believing they should not complain because someone else has it worse. Others feel emotionally absent but do not know how they got there. Some carry disappointment with God but feel afraid to say it out loud. These struggles matter because unspoken grief turns into isolation, and isolation quietly drains your strength, your presence, and your hope. In This Episode, We Focus On: Gratitude and grief can coexist -  You do not have to choose between being thankful and being honest about what hurts. Gratitude does not cancel grief. Both can live in the same space, and naming that tension is part of healing. Healing begins when you say it out loud -  Isolation keeps pain powerful. Whether through counseling, community, or one trusted friend, speaking your struggle breaks shame and reminds you that you are not alone. Presence matters more than perfection -  Your children do not need flawless. They need your willingness to return, repair, and keep showing up. Consistent presence builds safety and trust over time. Holding grief and gratitude together is not about pretending everything is fine. It is about staying engaged in your life and your parenting even when it feels messy. You are not weak for struggling, and you do not have to walk this road alone.

Will you retire with purpose? Don’t leave it to chance. Design Your New Life after you leave full-time work. Learn more about our next small group coaching program starting in April here – and sign up here. __________________________ What if the word retirement is setting us up for the wrong life? After years in senior leadership roles, Cesar Aguirre discovered something most of us miss about retirement: the word itself matters more than we think. In English, we “retire” – we withdraw. In Portuguese, you become “aposentado” – left aside or left behind. But in Spanish-speaking cultures, retirement is called “jubilación” – which comes from the word for joy. That distinction changed everything for Cesar. Because when he stepped away from his career, it wasn’t the loss of work that shocked him – it was the jarring shock of losing an identity. He realized retirement isn’t just a life transition, it’s an identity transition, offering an opportunity to redefine who you want to become, and retire with purpose. Cesar joins us to share the framework he developed through his own transition – a ten-chapter roadmap for moving from “what I’m leaving” to “what I’m moving toward.” He’ll reveal why planning goes far beyond your finances, how to measure success when you’re no longer producing output, and the key warning signs that show up early when retirement first starts going wrong. This is a conversation about why approaching retirement with more intention might just create the most fulfilling chapters of your life. How will you retire with purpose? Cesar Aguirre joins us from Florida. __________________________ Bio César Aguirre is a seasoned HR executive with over 40 years of experience in global talent development. Now in active retirement, he embodies reinvention with passion as mentor, consultant, and author.

I think the languages shape mindset. And mindsets shape behavior. So when retirement is framed as a joy, planning shifts from survival to flourishing become more natural.” On Measuring Success in Retirement “A good day is no longer about output, it’s no longer about how much you produce. It’s about action that is intended, an action that aligns with a master plan.” On What He’d Do Differently “I wish I had thought about it and prepared for my post-work identity a little sooner and more deliberately. In my job in HR, I helped many others plan careers, but I underestimated how much my own self-worth was tied to that job in that title. I think I did it humbly. I can say that I did a solid job planning financially, but probably not as good in preparing emotionally for the change. For a brief period of time, a few months, I underestimated that the identity shift that was occurring and the loss of a daily structure that I was so accustomed to.” On What He’s Gained in Retirement “Presence, the ability to not just having the time, but having the mindset of real presence, presence with my wife, which I neglected for a few years while I was traveling or working, presence with my kids, now with my grandkids, the rest of my friends, and new friends. I also gained a space and time for mastery, my hobbies. I enjoy cooking, well, time to do more and do a little better, exercising, riding the bike three or four times a week, playing pickleball. Retiring has given me time to go more in depth on my preferences instead of just speed, because in my working years, I was always rushing. Even when I was at home, I needed to accomplish, I needed to do things. I needed not to be idle. And retirement has now given me presence and bandwidth.” On Warning Signs “I think there are three main things that one needs to start paying attention to. Isolation. If you don’t have that network, social network, family network, and you become isolated. A loss of structure. Doing nothing without a structure or living in the past tense. When people stop connecting with others, when they drift through the days without an intentional plan, or when they only talk about what they used to be, that should be a warning, – a huge yellow flag for oneself and for loved ones that are looking after them.”

In Luke 5:12–14, Jesus does the unthinkable—He touches a leper.Leprosy wasn't treated as a sickness. It was treated as death. Isolation. Exile. Shame. The living dead.But when this man falls before Jesus and says, “If you are willing…,” Jesus responds with both power and compassion: “I am willing.” And immediately, everything changes.This message reveals the Kingdom Way—Jesus doesn't just restore people FROM death. He restores them TO community. Grace brings us back to life, and it brings us back home.

Seventh Core Belief: The Church is God’s AGENT OF CHANGE in our world. Jesus asks the group the MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION. Peter offers the MOST IMPORTANT ANSWER. Peter is praised for RECEIVING the revelation. Jesus will build His Church on every person who shares Peter's CONFESSION. When INFORMATION is king, ISOLATION is not far behind. […]

AI models are powerful, but they don't forget. And that's a problem.They hallucinate. They inherit bias. They absorb sensitive data. And once they're trained, fixing those issues is painfully expensive. Retraining takes weeks and maybe tens of millions of dollars. And any guardrails the AI company puts up are brittle.What if you could perform surgery on the model itself?In this episode of TechFirst, John Koetsier sits down with Ben Luria, co-founder of Hirundo, to explore machine unlearning, a new approach that selectively removes unwanted data, behaviors, and vulnerabilities from trained AI systems.Hirundo claims it can:• Cut hallucinations in half• Massively reduce bias• Reduce successful prompt injection attacks by over 90%• Do it in under an hour on a single GPU• Preserve benchmark performanceInstead of adding more guardrails, machine unlearning works inside the model, identifying problematic weights, isolating behavioral vectors, and surgically removing risks without degrading quality.If AI is going mainstream in enterprises, it needs a remediation layer. Is machine unlearning the missing piece?⸻GuestBen LuriaCo-Founder, HirundoNhirhttps://www.hirundo.io⸻Topics Covered• Why AI models “can't forget”• The difference between hallucinations and inaccuracies• Why guardrails aren't enough• How prompt injection works — and how to reduce it• Removing PII and noncompliant training data• AI security at the model level• Why machine unlearning could become standard by 2030⸻If you're building, deploying, or investing in AI, this is a conversation you can't miss.

On this episode of Book Lounge by Libby, we're trying something a little different—and we're very excited about it. Joe is joined by Amy Allen Clark from the Book Gang podcast to dive deep into One's Company by Ashley Hutson, a book Amy has been completely obsessed with.  We start with a breakdown of the book (mostly spoiler-free), unpacking what worked, what lingered, and why One's Company gets under your skin in the best way. Then, at the 25-minute mark we do a quick spoiler breakdown, then we're joined by Ashley Hutson herself for a spoiler-filled conversation about the book, her inspirations, the emotional core of the story, and what it was like bringing this unsettling, unforgettable novel to life. 

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton explore a quiet but deeply unsettling experience many first responders live with: you're physically present, still doing the job, still showing up—but internally, you don't recognize yourself anymore (Amazon Affiliate). You're not broken. You're not weak. You're not failing. What you may be experiencing is identity erosion—a gradual loss of connection to the parts of you that existed before survival mode became your default operating system. This episode unpacks why this happens, how the nervous system and trauma exposure reshape personality, and what it takes to reclaim your sense of self without abandoning the strength the job built.
