In this divided moment, we are being actively encouraged to make enemies of one another. To resist these forces, we need to cultivate kindness. Loving kindness is a simple but powerful evidenced-backed practice that helps us hold our own views and values, yet still honor the perspectives of others… even those with whom we disagree. Leading us through this practice is Dr. Brad Strawn, licensed psychologist, ordained minister and one of the leading figures in the integration of psychology and Christian theology in the US. Don't miss my full interview with Dr. Strawn. Here today we have a simple practice that takes 5 minutes and you can practice any time you need to ground yourself and foster a sense of compassion with others. And you can count on it to change your brain. Come on over to my Substack this week, With & For by Dr. Pam King, where I'm asking you to share a surprising moment that you experienced unexpected kindness from a stranger or even someone you were at odds with.

Judgment is easy to recognize when someone else is doing it. It's much harder when it's hiding in our own hearts. In this message from James, Pastor Chris invites us to look beyond everyone else's faults and wrestle with a few questions that just might change the way we see Jesus, ourselves, and the people around us.

What does it really mean when a problem “comes back” after a team thought it had been solved?In this episode, Mark Graban reads his article, “We Thought We Solved That: The Art and Judgment Calls in the PDSA Cycle.” He examines how a frustrated executive's question—“Why did the problem come back?”—can either support learning or trigger blame, depending on how it is asked.Mark explores five possible explanations for a recurring problem: the wrong countermeasure, poor implementation, failure to sustain the change, changed conditions, or the possibility that the problem never actually went away. He also explains why Toyota's language of “countermeasures” is more useful than declaring a problem permanently “solved,” and why process behavior charts can help distinguish real change from routine variation.The larger lesson: reaching the Study step of PDSA requires more than checking whether an action item was completed. Leaders must examine what actually happened, what the data show, and what the organization needs to adjust next.Read and share the original article at leanblog.org/audio471.

From Borderline to Beautiful: Hope & Help for BPD with Rose Skeeters, MA, LPC, PN2
In this powerful solo episode, Rose Skeeters opens up about one of the biggest hidden obstacles in her own BPD recovery: chronic judgmentalism. What felt like harmless criticism was actually a self-protective shield that blocked vulnerability, deepened fragmentation, and sabotaged the very connection and healing she craved.Rose breaks down how judgment functions as projection and shadow material, its damaging effects on mental health, self-image, relationships, and empathy, and most importantly — how to turn every judgmental thought into a golden doorway for shadow work and integration.If you've ever caught yourself being harshly critical of others (or yourself) and wondered why real healing felt out of reach, this episode will give you both insight and practical tools to break the cycle.From Borderline to Beautiful — Real hope, real tools, real recovery.Judgment is often a defense mechanism rooted in projection and unintegrated shadow partsHow being judgmental harms your nervous system, self-worth, relationships, and capacity for empathyWhy judgment blocks shadow integration and keeps the borderline brain fragmentedEvery strong judgment is a mirror — a powerful opportunity for healingPractical steps: Pause, own the projection, feel it in your body, journal, dialogue with the part, and integrateJudgment reinforces splitting; shadow work restores wholeness and values-based living00:00 – Welcome & personal story02:26 – Defining judgment and why it matters in recovery04:55 – How judgment harms your mental health07:22 – Impact on self-image and shadow integration09:26 – How it damages relationships and empathy13:09 – Shadow work explained (Jungian psychology & projection)17:32 – Turning judgment into shadow work: practical tools21:32 – Closing & resourcesBook a session with Rose or Jay: thriveonlinecounseling.comCall/Text: 844-984-7483 (844-9-THRIVE)Summer group wrapping up soon — Mid-Fall group forming (email today to save your spot)Podcast Website: thriveonlinecounseling.comFollow the show for more on BPD recovery, betrayal trauma, shadow work, values-based healing, and building authentic relationships.If this episode resonated, take one small action today: Notice your next judgmental thought and ask, “What part of me feels activated here?” Write it down.

Ralph Martin returns to the podcast to discuss his new book, The Coming Judgment: Are We Ready?

Jesus sends His twelve first, not to the Gentiles or Samaritans, but to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. These lost sheep need to hear the message that both John and Jesus have preached: “The kingdom of heaven is at hand!” God's reign as King brings healing from sickness and rescue from demons among those who hear the Twelve's message. God's reign as King will provide for the Twelve as they go, as He provides for their physical needs through the generosity of those who hear and believe. Those who believe the Word will receive peace from God, but those who do not believe are warned that the Day of Judgment is coming as it once came for notoriously wicked places. Rev. Tim Sandeno, missionary church planter to Spangdahlem, Germany, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Matthew 10:5-15. “The Reign of Heaven Stands Near” is a series on Sharper Iron that studies the Gospel according to St. Matthew. The first evangelist proclaims that God has fulfilled His Old Testament promises by sending Jesus to bring the reign of the heavens among us. As the Son of David, Jesus is the gracious King we need, and as the Son of Abraham, Jesus is the blessing to all the families of the earth. Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Pastor Appel serves at Faith Lutheran Church in Godfrey, IL.

Have you ever caught yourself judging someone and wondered, Where did that come from?What if your judgment isn't actually about them?In this episode of Masks Off: Inner Freedom for People Pleasers and Perfectionists, Kim Gross explores one of the most overlooked protective patterns of the Inner Controller: the judgment mask.Judgment often feels justified on the surface, but underneath it can hide fear, shame, powerlessness, grief, insecurity, or parts of ourselves we haven't fully accepted. Whether we criticize our children, our partner, strangers online, or even ourselves, judgment is often an attempt to feel safe, certain, or in control.Kim shares how curiosity can transform criticism into compassion and explains the important difference between judgment and discernment. You'll also learn why the people who trigger you the most may actually be pointing you toward your deepest healing.In this episode you'll discover:• Why judgment is often fear wearing the mask of certainty• The surprising reason we judge the people we love most• The difference between judgment and healthy discernment• How your Inner Controller uses criticism to avoid vulnerability• A simple practice to move from judgment to compassionIf you've ever wondered why certain people trigger you—or why you can be so hard on yourself—this episode offers a compassionate new perspective.
Ever felt completely alone in a crowded room? In this episode of Mind Body Medicine for Self Healers, host Sarah Dawkins exposes the hidden physical toll of "engineered loneliness" and our universal fear of judgment.Drawing from her early days as a professional trainer, where standing in front of groups triggered intense anxiety, Sarah breaks down the biology of social rejection. Discover why your ancient nervous system treats a room full of judging eyes the exact same way it treats a predatory threat, keeping you stuck in chronic, low-grade fight-or-flight.Living in "performance mode" is an exhausting survival adaptation that spikes cortisol, alters digestion and creates chronic inflammation, muscle tension and sleep issues. If you've been hiding behind a mask of total perfection to stay safe, no amount of supplements or diets can fix a nervous system that feels fundamentally unseen.Key Information 01:44 The Root of Public Speaking Anxiety: The universal fear of public speaking is rarely about the act of talking itself; it is a profound, deep-seated fear of social judgment and rejection.02:13 The Health Toll of Social Isolation: Chronic fear of how we are perceived creates "engineered loneliness"—a severe biological stressor that quietly drains our physical health.04:49 The Trap of the Performance Mask: Living life as a performance to avoid criticism creates a protective character, meaning people only connect with a mask rather than who we truly are.05:53 The Nervous System and Social Threats: The ancient human nervous system cannot differentiate between physical danger (like a predator) and social rejection, triggering an ongoing state of fight-or-flight.06:50 Physical Symptoms of Evaluation Anxiety: Over time, policing our behavior to prevent judgment manifests as tangible physical issues like chronic inflammation, insomnia, gut problems, and muscle tension.10:46 Fear of Judgment as a Survival Adaptation: Fearing criticism is not a fixed personality flaw; it is an intelligent, systemic adaptation designed to prioritize group acceptance over individual authenticity.Ready to break free from old patterns?

A designer with 20+ years of experience sits in front of twelve competent, AI-generated screens... and can't evaluate a single one. Not because they're bad. Because something is missing. And the same thing happened to me.In this episode, I investigate this case like a detective story: What was taken from us? Who took it? The answer turned out to be the most hopeful thing I've learned about design in years, disguised as a crisis. Because the comps were never the design. The comps are the artifact. The design is the model in your head, and no tool can generate it.In this episode:The mystery: why the most trained design judgment goes offline in front of good AI output (and why "AI output is slop" is the wrong explanation)The three suspects: the AI, the speed, and the surprising real culpritWhy "the back-and-forth builds the model": the experiment that proves your value was never in the pixelsThe cold case behind it all: how we spent 20 years selling the first three rounds, and why that gap just closed foreverThe stakes ladder: what happens when a designer, a team, or a whole organization over-trusts AI outputTaste redefined: deciding, not decorating, and why having no opinion defaults to the averageThe open question: if artifacts are cheap, is the "living transcript" the design deliverable of the future?Your homework: five questions before pixelsResources mentioned:Christopher Noessel "Design Was Never the Comps: What I learned when Claude Design dumped a dozen screens on me"https://christophernoessel.medium.com/design-was-never-the-comps-what-i-learned-when-claude-design-dumped-a-dozen-screens-on-me-73893af464aeChristopher Noessel "RationaleBot: Why design's near-future deliverable is a living transcript"https://christophernoessel.medium.com/rationalebot-why-designs-near-future-deliverable-is-a-living-transcript-c70613215359Christopher Noessel — "Get Claude Design to present like a consultant" (follow-up with the practical prompt)https://christophernoessel.medium.com/get-claude-design-to-present-like-a-consultant-6bf22261717fRoger Wong "A Sunday Afternoon with Claude Design" (the squiggly line, Picasso's nine Guernica studies)https://rogerwong.me/2026/04/sunday-afternoon-claude-designAnthony Wood (House of gAi) "Claude Design Came for the First Three Rounds.

Enoch's Prophetic Dreams (Part 2) - The Judgment: The Book of Enoch (Chapters 89-90) 2026 Study by Shawn Ozbun
This is the conversation that happened after the conversation. Part one of our Deb Rubin episode covered the foundations: why sexuality is not an emergency, the three things that make kids stop talking to you, and the difference between sexuality and sexualization. This part two episode picks up exactly where that left off, and goes somewhere most parenting conversations don't. The first thread is clothing. Specifically: what do you actually do when your middle schooler comes downstairs in something that makes your stomach drop? Deb walks us through the questions she loves. Not the panicked parental reaction, but the slow, deliberate, genuinely curious questions that keep the conversation open rather than slamming it shut. Is it weather appropriate? Does it fit? Does it feel comfortable? Is it right for the occasion? And underneath all of those: is my reaction coming from a fear, or from a responsibility? She also names something that most parents are thinking and nobody says out loud: people make a quick snapshot decision based on how you look. Not fair. Not right. But true, and worth telling your kid directly, without judgment, so they can factor it into their own deliberate choices rather than discovering it the hard way. The second thread is social media. Deb waited until her daughters were fourteen before allowing any social media at all. She was strict about time limits and relaxed about content, believing that her job was to manage the dopamine delivery mechanism, not to surveil everything her kids were consuming. And then, in junior year, she removed the limits entirely. Not because the concern was gone, but because she had two years left under her roof to let her daughter practice managing herself and discover, on her own, whether she needed limits at all. Her daughter put them back on after a month. That story, (the limits removed, the daughter who reinstated them herself) is the emotional and clinical centerpiece of part two of our conversation with Deb Rubin. Because it illustrates everything Deb has been saying across both conversations: the goal is not control. The goal is critical thinking. The goal is a kid who, when left to their own devices, reaches for what actually serves them. Jenni closes the episode with a clinical frame that Deb immediately said she was going to steal: the dopamine toolbox. When electronics are the only source of dopamine in a child's life, the consequences are significant and well-documented. The invitation, for kids and for the adults raising them, is to build a diverse toolbox of dopamine sources. Movement. Connection. Creative work. Real-world competence. Not instead of screens, but alongside them, so that the pull of any single source never becomes the whole story.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Empathy gets treated like a personality trait: you either have it or you don't. Roxana Radulescu, Level 52 coach and facilitator, argues that's wrong. It's a muscle, and most leaders are either overusing it, avoiding it, or using it to avoid the hard conversation instead of having it. In this episode of The Executive Commute, Jayson Krause talks with Roxana about what empathy actually is (her definition: care plus trust), what it isn't (sympathy, agreement, an excuse to skip feedback), and where it goes wrong at the top of organizations. They dig into a Yale psychologist's argument that empathy fuels bias and tribalism, why holding more power tends to erode it, and whether "care first" leadership is a real strategy or just a nicer way to describe layoffs. They cover: Empathy defined: care plus trust, not sympathy The line between empathy and judgment The case against empathy: bias, favoritism, and in-group tribalism Why power erodes empathy (and what that means for executives) Empathy's role in high-stakes, high-performance teams A simple starting point for building the empathy muscle If you've ever held back a hard conversation because you "didn't want to make it worse," or wondered whether empathy and high standards can coexist, this conversation will change how you think about both.

Jump into a grab bag of legal issues, a “law salad” of ideas that have lately been on the minds of hosts Jim Reeder and Mic Rogson. Law may teach you to think like a lawyer, but does it also teach the practice of law? Hear what Mic and Jim walked away with on graduation day and how it applied to their careers and decades of experience. Practicing law after law school sometimes produces surprises, like learning to mix linear thinking with creativity. You can prepare all you want, but sometimes you need to be “as flexible as Gumby,” Mic says. In the real world, Jim says, practicing lawyers learn to be comfortable. Comfortable with creativity, comfortable with reacting to surprises, and comfortable admitting to the judge, and themselves, that they don't know everything and may need time to review unfamiliar case law when it crops up in the courtroom. Intimidation and anxiety are the enemy, and young lawyers must learn to relax and react. Then, forget “real life” as Mic and Jim share their favorite courtroom dramas and comedies. What's your guilty pleasure, and which productions capture how you feel about the law? Everything from the gravity of “Judgment at Nuremberg” to the lighthearted “Legally Blonde” to the surprisingly accurate portrayal in “My Cousin Vinny.” What's your favorite?

The VoiceOver Pod made possible by Such A Voice with your host Justine Reiss
What if one simple word had the power to change the way we see ourselves and each other? What better way to launch a podcast about claiming your voice than with a conversation about using it to celebrate someone else's? In this inaugural episode of Claim Your Voice, I sit down with my dear friend, award-winning athlete, sports psychologist, author, and nonprofit founder Barbara Edelston Peterson to explore the powerful concept behind her newest book, Kvell: A Word You Should Know. Barbara is a pioneer in mountain biking, a multiple-time world champion XTERRA athlete, grandmother, speaker, and lifelong advocate for helping people live with purpose, resilience, and joy. But perhaps her greatest legacy is introducing the world to the Yiddish word kvell, a word that means to beam with pride, joy, and delight in someone else's accomplishments. Barbara believes it's far more than a word...it's a movement. As the audiobook narrator of Kvell, I watched this message transform not only listeners but my own life. Since recording the book, I've found myself intentionally encouraging strangers, celebrating friends more openly, and even remembering to kvell over myself. The response has been incredible, proving that a few heartfelt words can create connection in a world experiencing an epidemic of loneliness. Together, we explore why encouragement is one of the greatest gifts we can give, how shifting from judgment to celebration changes our relationships, and why using your voice to uplift someone else may be one of the most powerful ways to claim your own. If you've ever wondered how a single compliment, a moment of recognition, or a simple "well done" can change someone's day or even their life, this episode is for you.

Are Christian teachers judged by God in a unique way? Is original sin biblical? What about being righteous by (re)birth? What's the "unworthy manner" of celebrating the Lord's Supper in 1 Corinthians 11? And what about the "judgment" in that same communion passage? Is it from God?
As routine tasks become increasingly automated, organizations need to rethink how they develop leaders and teams. Judgment, creativity, and adaptability become increasingly more important than knowledge or technical skills. In this episode of HR Superstars, Karina Young sits down with Chris Walker, entrepreneur and author of The Frequency Era, to discuss how AI is reshaping the role of HR. He explains why traditional approaches to learning and leadership development are no longer enough, how workplace cultures often suppress creativity, and what HR leaders can do to help their organizations thrive in this new era of work. You'll learn: Why AI is increasing the value of uniquely human capabilities How HR can shift from building knowledge to building human capacity What leaders can do to foster clarity, creativity, and better decisions Join us as we discuss: (00:00) Meet HR Superstar: Chris Walker (05:58) Why AI is creating a new era of human potential (11:33) Creativity is the ultimate competitive advantage (13:34) Rethinking how HR develops people (19:49) Why "soft skills" are now business-critical skills (26:05) Why personal and professional development must converge (29:21) What organizations need to do differently to thrive Resources: For the entire interview, subscribe to HR Superstars on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube, or tune in on our website.

AI isn't replacing great salespeople—it's exposing average ones. In this solo episode of Sales & Cigars, Walter Crosby explains how to use AI to improve your sales process while doubling down on trust, judgment, and authentic human connection. Episode Overview Artificial intelligence is changing sales—but not in the way most people think. In this solo episode of Sales & Cigars, Walter Crosby shares why AI isn't the threat many sales professionals believe it is. Instead of replacing great salespeople, AI is raising the standard by eliminating excuses and exposing those who rely on shortcuts instead of skill. Walter explains why trust, judgment, curiosity, and meaningful conversations remain the true competitive advantages in complex B2B sales. He also introduces the new Sales Integrator Community, a free resource created to help salespeople and sales managers continue developing their craft through coaching, practical tools, and ongoing discussions. Whether you're a salesperson worried about AI, a sales manager coaching your team, or a CEO building a sales organization, this episode offers practical advice on how to embrace technology without losing the human advantage. Episode Highlights Why AI isn't replacing salespeople—it's exposing average ones Introducing the new free Sales Integrator Community Why great salespeople don't automatically become great sales managers How AI should be used as a tool—not a replacement Why personalization isn't the same as genuine connection Building trust through conversations, not automation How AI can improve preparation, research, and consistency Why judgment is becoming one of the most valuable sales skills Coaching salespeople to make better decisions Why authentic human relationships will become even more valuable as AI evolves Key Takeaways AI raises the standard—it doesn't eliminate salespeople. The future belongs to sales professionals who learn to leverage AI while continuing to build trust and solve complex business problems. Average performers who rely on automation instead of relationships will struggle. Trust can't be automated. AI can generate emails, summarize information, and prepare research, but buyers still choose people they trust. Authentic conversations remain the foundation of complex sales. Judgment creates competitive advantage. Knowing when to ask another question, when to challenge a prospect, and how to interpret information requires experience and critical thinking that AI can't replace. AI belongs in preparation—not persuasion. Use AI to research companies, organize information, write first drafts, summarize meetings, and automate repetitive tasks so you can spend more time having meaningful conversations. More activity doesn't mean better results. AI makes it easy to send more emails and create more content, but quantity without relevance simply creates more noise in an already crowded marketplace. Managers still have to coach. Technology cannot replace coaching. Sales managers develop judgment by asking better questions, helping reps think critically, and creating opportunities for continuous improvement. Being human is becoming more valuable. As AI-generated content becomes more common, authenticity, empathy, curiosity, and genuine relationships become stronger differentiators. Who Should Listen This episode is especially valuable for: B2B sales professionals Sales managers coaching growing teams Entrepreneurs building scalable sales organizations CEOs concerned about AI's impact on revenue Salespeople looking to use AI more effectively Anyone who wants to stay competitive as sales continues to evolve Links & Resources Helix Sales Development Sales Integrator Community Claude AI Walter Crosby The Sales Integrator Community Walter created the Sales Integrator Community exclusively for salespeople and sales managers looking to sharpen their skills and continue growing.

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga. I am delighted to spotlight my friend, writer and devoted flyfisher, Jeff Ikler, host of Getting Unstuck - Cultivating Curiosity podcast as he talks with his guest Tom Reed, explorer, writer, landscape photographer, and wellness coach. Episode Notes excerpt: “The conversation explores how skill and serendipity intersect in creative work, the role of mindfulness in perceiving opportunities, and the thread of vitality that connects Reed's diverse pursuits. The discussion also turns to climate change and environmental degradation, with Reed emphasizing acceptance without apathy—a stance rooted in spiritual maturity and non-judgment. Ultimately, Reed's work invites us to reconsider why certain landscapes move us so profoundly—and what that says about our relationship to the natural world.” NOTE: Direct Episode Links to What Can Standing in Awe of the Natural World Teach Us? featuring Tom Reed are available below across multiple platforms, plus hundreds more Getting Unstuck episodes, and links to contact Tom Reed & Jeff Ikler.

What if your view of reality is less reliable than you think? God lovingly confronts our self-deception and invites us to trust His perspective instead.
“Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your hope as a believer, always be ready to explain it.” (1 Peter 3:15 NLT) Years ago, I encountered a man on a street in Hawaii. He was holding a sign that read, “The wages of sin is death.” He was also yelling, “God hates you” and “God will judge you” to everyone who passed by. I watched him for a few minutes until I could no longer leave his misrepresentation of Scripture unchallenged. “Excuse me,” I said. “Why don’t you share the rest of that verse? It’s true that it says the wages of sin is death, but the rest of it says that the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” The man responded by telling me that God was going to judge me. Then he continued misrepresenting God’s Word. Make no mistake: Judgment can and will come to those who reject the Lord. But if that’s our only message to the world, we’re not doing the gospel justice. Because at the center of the gospel is a message of hope. The apostle Peter wrote, “If someone asks about your hope as a believer, always be ready to explain it” (1 Peter 3:15 NLT). So, let’s explain it. Jesus Christ took the judgment of God on the cross of Calvary in our place so we don’t have to face it. Everyone who believes in Him will be saved from judgment because of God’s mercy. As we wrap up our look at the greatest revival in human history, I will remind you that God spared Nineveh. God extended mercy to Nineveh. And as a result, a spiritual awakening occurred in Nineveh. The people of Nineveh seized on the hope in Jonah’s message and believed. If God could bring a mighty revival in Nineveh with no better representative than Jonah and no more gospel than he preached in their streets, He can surely do the same thing for America. Jesus validated the story of Jonah. He said that just as Jonah was in the belly of a fish for three days, He, the Son of God, would be crucified on a cross, lie dead for three days, and then rise again. That’s why believers have hope. Jesus endured God’s judgment for your sin. He suffered and died in your place. And He did it as part of God’s plan. God loves you so much that He sacrificed His only Son so that you might have eternal life. As we celebrate 250 years of God’s blessings on our nation, I want to make sure that you have something greater to celebrate. Have you asked Christ to come into your life? Have you asked Him to forgive you of your sins? Do you have the hope right now that you will go to Heaven when you die? If not, you can have it. Pray these words: Lord Jesus, I know that I’m a sinner. I’m sorry for my sin. I’ve turned from it, and now I choose to follow You from this moment forward. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.

Have you ever wondered what God thinks about Botox, fillers, or cosmetic procedures? In today's episode, I'm sharing my personal journey with chin filler, why I ultimately decided to dissolve it, and how God used that experience to challenge my heart. We'll talk through the pros, the cons, and what Scripture says about beauty, identity, comparison, and contentment. This isn't an episode meant to shame anyone. Instead, my hope is that we learn how to bring every decision—even cosmetic ones—before the Lord and ask the deeper questions about our motives and where we're finding our worth. Whether you've had Botox, are considering cosmetic procedures, or simply wrestle with comparison and beauty standards, I hope this conversation encourages you to root your identity in Christ above all else.
