Key To LIFE FREEDOM Is Leverage On this episode of Join Up Dots, we tackle the modern freedom trap — building a side hustle to create more family time, only to realise the hustle itself is stealing the time you already have. If your income only grows when your hours grow, you're not building freedom… you're building another job. This episode explores how to break the cycle through leverage, focused 90-day sprints, skill upgrades, and protecting what truly matters while you build. Share this with someone stuck in the grind. #SideHustle #TimeFreedom #WorkLifeBalance #EntrepreneurMindset #JoinUpDots Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast and leave a review.

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with Bänoo Zan and Cy Strom about their anthology, Woman Life Freedom: Poems for the Iranian Revolution (Guernica Editions, 2025). This international anthology marks a world-historical moment: the first ever feminist revolution. The slogan chanted by the demonstrators in Iran is Woman, Life, Freedom, and it encompasses hopes and ideals for all people everywhere. This anthology echoes that cry. The poems here might be reflections on the present moment, denunciations of injustice, examinations of the poet's own conscience, laments for the fallen, bitter curses, prayers, celebrations of life, and visions of a better future. Bänoo and Cy aim to raise awareness of the women's revolution in Iran and show the world that this cause is alive and will not be put down. About the editors:  Bänoo Zan is a poet, translator, essayist, and poetry curator, with numerous published pieces and three books. Songs of Exile was shortlisted for the Gerald Lampert Memorial Award. Letters to My Father was published in 2017. She is the founder of Shab-e She'r (Poetry Night), Canada's most diverse and brave poetry reading and open mic series (inception: 2012). Shab-e She'r bridges the gap between communities of poets from different ethnicities, nationalities, religions (or lack thereof), ages, genders, sexual orientations, abilities, poetic styles, voices, and visions. Bänoo calls herself a war correspondent in verse. Others describe her as a political, metaphysical, and spiritual poet. Cy Strom works as an editor. He holds MA and MPhil degrees in early modern European history and has published in academic and other areas, including the visual arts. He edits in different genres and sometimes languages, and has had a role in developing professional editorial standards and educational materials. Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningJohn 6 : 35 — Bread of Life : Freedom from Worry and LackScripture (NIV)“Then Jesus declared, ‘I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.'” — John 6 : 35In a world chasing security, Jesus offers something deeper than comfort—He offers Himself. John 6 : 35 declares that He alone satisfies the restless heart and the anxious mind. When fear of lack rises, the Bread of Life reminds us that Heaven's supply never runs dry. Across Indonesia, Ethiopia, Turkey, and Argentina, believers lift empty hands to a generous God. He fills not only the stomach but the soul, teaching us to trust more and fear less. At midday, we turn from worry to worship and remember: Christ is enough.Paragraph 1 – Context Modern life is built on striving—more work, more wealth, more control—yet still we hunger. John 6 : 35 reveals the answer that anxiety cannot find: Jesus Himself is our provision. When economies shake and plans unravel, His promise remains unchanged. The Bread of Life feeds faith where fear once ruled.Paragraph 2 – Reflection Worry says, I must provide. Faith whispers, He already has. In every nation and every circumstance, Christ invites us to come, believe, and be filled. True security is not the absence of need but the presence of Jesus. When we seek first His kingdom, lack loses its power.Paragraph 3 – Intercession & Vision We pray for believers under economic pressure in Indonesia, Ethiopia, Turkey, and Argentina. May their daily bread be more than food—may it be faith. Let contentment replace comparison, gratitude replace fear, and generosity overflow as a witness to the world.Prayer PointsPray for peace for those facing financial anxiety today.Ask God to meet every need according to His riches in Christ.Pray that believers trust Jesus as their true provider.Intercede for families battling fear of lack and uncertainty.Declare that the Bread of Life satisfies every soul hunger.Pray for jobs, resources, and wisdom to steward provision well.Ask for gratitude to rise above fear of tomorrow.Pray that generosity becomes a testimony of faith.Lift up nations suffering foodSupport the showFor more inspiring content, visit RBChristianRadio.net — your home for daily devotionals, global prayer, and biblical encouragement for every season of life.

Three years ago, a 22-year-old Kurdish woman named Mahsa Jina Amini was fatally beaten by Iran's morality police. She'd been arrested for not following the Islamic Republic's dress code. Her death sparked the Woman, Life, Freedom Movement, one of the largest uprisings in Iran in decades. Journalists Fatemeh Jamalpour and Nilo Tabrizy tell this story in their new book For the Sun After Long Nights: The Story of Iran's Women-Led Uprising. In today's episode, Jamalpour speaks with Here & Now's Jane Clayson about the movement and Iran's future.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Freedom, chastity, and healing with Jason EvertWhat if chastity is not a restriction but the freedom to love wellIn this episode of Be Your Brand to Glorify God, Erik sits down with Jason Evert, speaker, author, and founder at Chastity.com, to face the modern prn crisis with courage and clarity. Jason shares how Karol Wojtyla's "Love and Responsibility" reframes chastity as the freedom to love, why an interior life of prayer outworks a thousand tasks, and how simple daily rhythms protect marriage and mission.They talk about the epidemic of prn for men and women, why the opposite of addiction is connection, and the hard-hitting line that a father's prn can act like a spiritual vasectomy. You will also hear the adult club doorstep encounter and the seven-hour line of students who just wanted someone to truly listen. This one gives hope, language, and first steps for anyone ready to begin.

"The Truth Shall make You Free" Jesus (John 8:31-32)

Let's be real: there's nothing atypical about “atypical anorexia.” In fact, it's one of the most common eating disorder presentations—and yet it's still misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and too often ignored. In this episode, I'm joined by Registered Dietitian and eating disorder specialist Emma Townsin (@food.life.freedom) to break down what atypical anorexia actually is, why the name is a problem, and how weight stigma keeps so many people from getting the care they deserve. We talk about what happens when restrictive eating shows up in people who don't fit the “textbook” thin ideal, how BMI gatekeeping plays out in treatment settings, and what needs to change in how we diagnose and support people across all body sizes. This one's for anyone who's ever been told they're “not sick enough”—and for every provider ready to challenge that harmful narrative. ABOUT EMMA TOWNSIN, RD Emma supports her clients to take the stress out of food. Emma's unique method focuses on reframing how you think about food, building connection with your body and feeling confident in your food choices. So, instead of food controlling you, food supports you to live the life you want. Combining her skills as a Registered Dietitian and Certified Intuitive Eating Counsellor, Emma supports people experiencing stressful eating such as binge eating or uncomfortable emotional eating and those who want to feel good around food after long term dieting. Emma lives and works in London, England. She is a Specialist Eating Disorder Dietitian and Certified Intuitive Eating Counsellor. Her practice name is Food Life Freedom.

Christians are free from condemnation, free from guilt and shame! (Romans 8:1)

God has called us to live in freedom, but are we truly walking in it? In this message, we explore the two approaches to God—the Tree of Life vs. the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. One brings life, grace, and relationship, while the other leads to bondage, legalism, and shame.

In his book, George shares his expertise on mindfulness and life planning to help others discover their life's purpose and find a deeper connection to their values and aspirations. In our conversation, we explore the difference between freedom in finance and freedom in life, what it means to live authentically in retirement, and the questions and practices that anyone can use to embrace the freedom of moments, life, and civilization.

On Tuesday 13 September 2022, all Mahsa Amini has planned is a day shopping in Tehran. Her birthday is next week. But she is arrested as she comes out of the subway – the Guidance Patrol deem her hijab inadequate. On Friday she is pronounced dead. By Sunday, women have taken to the streets across Iran, setting their headscarves on fire and cursing the Supreme Leader. Months later, workers down their tools and businesses close. The battle cry everywhere: Women, Life, Freedom. This isn't a passing protest wave; something has changed irrevocably.  Arash Azizi guides us through Iran ablaze, history being made in real time. From an International Women's Day celebrated inside Iran's most notorious prison to mass strikes in Kurdistan, ordinary Iranians are taking risks to fight for a better future. Even as the regime spills blood in retaliation, Iranians have not given up. Today one thing's clear: no Supreme Leader can turn the clock back. A different Iran is within sight; Azizi shows us what it might look like in What Iranians Want: Women, Life, Freedom (ONEWorld Publications, 2024).

On Tuesday 13 September 2022, all Mahsa Amini has planned is a day shopping in Tehran. Her birthday is next week. But she is arrested as she comes out of the subway – the Guidance Patrol deem her hijab inadequate. On Friday she is pronounced dead.

Christianity is not about obeying rules, its about...surprise...CHRIST!

The death of Mahsa Jina Amini at the hands of the Islamic Republic's “morality police” in September 2022 lit a fuse on a fervent global protest movement. Jina's crime was wearing an “improper” headscarf in public. The slogan, “Woman, Life, Freedom,” which first emerged in the fight for Kurdish equality, was used by thousands of brave, defiant women in Iran (along with male supporters), who called for an end to oppression, discrimination, tyranny, and dictatorship. Eighteen months later, the Iranian government has increased video surveillance and morality police patrols, imposed even harsher penalties for female disobedience, and leaned even further into brutal torture methods and daily executions. Meanwhile, Ali Khamenei's administration floods the population with propaganda and conspiracy theories. Julian talks to Iranian human rights activist and former BBC World Service reporter, Negin Shiraghaei, about the Woman, Life, Freedom movement, which she says remains active and unstoppable.

Filmmaker Sahar Zand vividly explores the ongoing struggle women face at the hands of Iranian morality police -- like living as second-class citizens with no right to travel, divorce or wear their hair uncovered -- and points to new hope as protests against this unfair treatment continue across the country and around the world. She urges us all to stand in solidarity with the fight for "Woman, Life, Freedom" and shows why hope is so dangerous to authoritarian regimes.
