The pretzel flavor comes from the lye bath and pretzel salt.”The new Gourmet Magazine.***Got a cooking question?

Is "sustainability" actually holding you back?

“Where are You, God?” If you’ve ever whispered that question through tears, sleepless nights, or silent disappointment, you’re not alone. In this episode, we talk about the painful seasons when God feels distant — when prayers feel unanswered and discouragement makes it hard to even find the words to pray. Yet Scripture tells us something steady and unshakable: Jesus promised He would be with us always. Not sometimes.Not when we feel spiritual.Always. Even in silence. Even in valleys. Even in doubt. What We Discuss Why God can feel distant during hardship How discouragement can drain our ability to pray The truth that God hears even unspoken prayers The danger of believing the lie that God has abandoned us Drawing near to God when emotions say He’s far Finding encouragement through Scripture, worship, and Christian community This episode is sponsored by Trinity Debt Management.

By Alexis A. Goring Bible Reading:“Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” - Matthew 28:20 (NLT) “Where are you, God?” If there was a consistent question I asked God last year, that was it. Little did I know that by the start of this year, God would answer my question in profound ways that proved He hears my every prayer and He is always here with us. It started with simple things that were concerning me, then it snowballed into many other issues and situations that were troubling my heart and keeping me awake at night. Sleepless nights were the norm for me that year. I tried praying my way through it, but at times I was too tired to pray. Have you ever been so discouraged that you can barely talk to God about it? However, God taught me that He knows our hearts and He hears even the prayers we don’t have the energy or capacity to pray. He even considers the tears that roll down our faces when we cry as silent prayers, and He understands our pain before we have words to give voice to it. If you’re looking for someone who knows you better than you know yourself, your Maker (God) fits that bill perfectly. Because we live in a world that is negatively affected by sin, we all may face situations in life that cause us to ask, “God, where are you?” It is then that we are tempted by the enemy to believe that God has forsaken us. But in those moments, we need to believe what the Bible says: God will never leave us nor forsake us (Deuteronomy 31:8). When you feel far away from God, draw near to Him and He will draw near to you (James 4:8). If you’re having trouble seeking Him, ask God to help you feel His Presence and experience His peace. Remember: He’s always been pursuing a relationship with you before you realized you needed Him and started seeking Him. Now, there’s the fact that God is invisible (1 Timothy 1:17). But the truth is that He is real (Psalm 14:1). Don’t let His invisibility become a barrier to your seeking Him. Over the years, I’ve heard people debate that since we cannot see God, that must mean He doesn’t exist. Well, to that I’d say, we cannot see the air we breathe, but we know that if we don’t have air, we’d be dead. Same with God. We cannot see Him, but we need Him to live. When we are in pain so deep that we can barely get out of bed in the morning and start going about our day, it is important to remember that God is with us in our pain. Soon after the start of this year, God showed me that He had heard my prayers and questions last year. He did this by inspiring a Christian author to ask me if I wanted to read an early copy of her book that is releasing in January 2026. After seeing that the title of the book is “God, Where Are You?”, I knew this was encouragement from God for me. He recommended a whole book (in addition to the Bible) to answer my question. I agreed to read her book and was blessed by it. The author’s name is Dominique Young. The full title of her book is “God, Where Are You?: Unmasking Your Pain, Uncovering His Presence”. It is advertised on Amazon as “a safe space for your deepest questions and your hidden pain.” It’s for people who have been silently suffering under the heavy weight of anxiety, grief, depression, shame, and spiritual doubt. Through this book, she helps the reader discover how near God is to them through their toughest trials in life. God doesn’t abandon you in the valley lows. He’s with you through it all. And He can heal our brokenness. The author invites the reader to stop pretending they are okay when they are not, face the pain you’ve been hiding, and learn how you are seen by the Almighty God as one He deeply loves. Dominique encourages the reader to remember that even when God is silent, He is near and will not leave you. After reading the first few pages of Dominique’s book, I thanked God for answering my prayers on this topic because it was like He was speaking to me through her messages that were supported with Scripture. I am grateful He used this author’s debut book to encourage me in my faith walk. I believe this book will encourage you, too, if you read it. In closing, I’d like for you to listen to three songs (listed below) that remind us God is here with us and He’s going to stay with us until the end of the world. Song of Reflection #1: “God is with Us” by The Afters. Listen to it HERE. Song of Reflection #2: “I Know You’re There” by Casting Crowns. Listen to it HERE. Song of Reflection #3: “When You Walk Through the Water” by Allison Durham. Listen to it HERE.

The Megillah opens with one of the most extravagant, unnecessary parties in history and somehow, it's there to teach us how to live. In this class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath discusses a powerful insight from the Rebbe: even a foolish king understood something many of us forget, that life is not meant to be lived halfway. Through the lens of Achashverosh's over-the-top feast, we explore what it means to stop playing small, access our full potential, and show up to our lives, our relationships, and our purpose with everything we've got.Takeaways:Why the Megillah goes into such vivid detail and what it's trying to tell youThe danger of living a “half-lived” lifeHow to shift from holding back → showing up fullyA practical way to identify where you're playing smallWhat it means to live “all in” without burning outHow your unique gifts are meant to impact the world#Jewish #Judaism #Kabbalah #Purim #Megillah #LiveFully #AllIn #JewishWisdom #spiritualgrowth #purpose #StopPlayingSmall#PersonalDevelopment #TorahInsights #chassidus #Mindset #MeaningfulLiving #JewishLife Available now:Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/Forgiveness-Experiment-What-Would-Your/dp/1069217638Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FR2QNJL6Audiobook: https://bit.ly/4tPFZhVSupport the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?

“If I deeply loved myself, would I allow this in my life?” This is one of the first questions we explore in Master Coach Training, and it sits at the heart of life mastery. All of us have experienced allowing situations, relationship dynamics, and commitments to seep into our lives in ways that disrupt our peace and well-being. In this episode, we're slowing down to consider this question in the context of your relationship dynamics, your schedule, your energy, and the patterns you may be tolerating.You're here because you want a better quality of life—because you want to feel authentic, grounded, and alive. If that's true, then this question is worth asking. It isn't about perfection or unrealistic expectations, but understanding how we often allow things to continue simply because we don't realize we have more choice. When you recognize that you can love yourself enough to choose differently when it comes to the things that are causing you stress and overwhelm, everything shifts.You may feel stuck, obligated, or unsure where to begin, but you have more choice in what you continue to allow in your life than you realize. You are more empowered to change your life when you let go of self-judgment and expectations and step into greater awareness, self-compassion, and an understanding of how your nervous system, beliefs, and habits work together.Life is messy. It rarely unfolds the way we once imagined. Yet, you still have the capacity to curate an amazing life. Life mastery isn't about perfection or checking boxes—it's about consciously choosing what belongs in your life and setting boundaries around what doesn't. More peace is possible for you, and it begins with remembering that you have more choice than you think. Let's get started!What you'll learn:How to remove judgment and create space for curiosity as you evaluate what you're allowing into your lifeHow to examine your relationship dynamics without blame or unrealistic expectationsWhy you have more choice than you realize when it comes to your boundariesWhy shifting your thoughts about your life often requires deeper nervous system and emotional workHow asking “If I deeply loved myself…” is an invitation to self-compassion rather than self-criticismYou can read the full show notes here.Are you craving a moment to breathe, to reconnect with yourself, and to remember what's truly possible for you?

Send a textOn this episode of LFTG Radio, we step into serious justice work with a case that exposes how wrongful convictions are built — and protected.Shamgod Jay joins us to tell the full story of how he lost 25 years of his life after a manipulated photo array, coerced witness statements, racial bias in a rural jurisdiction, ineffective counsel, and suppressed exculpatory evidence combined to secure a conviction that should never have stood.What began as three separate photo arrays that did not identify him changed when his image was moved into the “gunman” position. Years later, buried documentation confirmed that the original identification did not point to Shamgod at all. Add to that documented hand injuries — splints and severed tendons that made it physically impossible for him to commit the crime as alleged — and you're left with a case riddled with red flags that were ignored at trial.We're also joined by Derrick Hamilton, Deputy Director of the

What happens when there's no cheating, no explosive betrayal, no dramatic final straw, yet you still know the marriage is over?In this episode of The Crazy Ex-Wives Club, Erica sits down with Simona Costantini to share her powerful life after divorce transformation story. Together, they unpack what it means to end a marriage that simply ran its course, how to navigate family disappointment, and how to rebuild when there's no obvious villain.Simona shares how growing in different directions, misaligned life goals, and emotional distance led her to choose divorce after nearly a decade together.

Not dramatic reinvention. Not overnight healing. But small daily choices, mindset shifts, energy awareness, and consuming content that supports growth instead of grief.If you're navigating divorce without a “big reason,” struggling with family judgment, or questioning whether choosing yourself was the right decision, this episode will remind you that growth seasons are real, alignment matters, and life on the other side can be more beautiful than you imagined.You'll learn:Why divorce without a dramatic betrayal can be harder to explain but just as validHow growing in different directions slowly erodes connectionWhy family disappointment can be one of the hardest parts of divorceThe emotional impact of separating without closureWhat co-parenting a dog after divorce really looks likeHow to handle a marital home during divorceCreative ways to stay financially afloat after separationWhy what you consume during divorce shapes your healingThe power of tiny daily choices in rebuilding your lifeHow to move from feeling stuck to becoming an active participant in your lifeWhy “this is not forever” can be a grounding mantra in hard seasonsHow alignment and energy shift your post-divorce experienceWe talk about:00:00 Invitation to join the club and rise together02:00 Simona's divorce story and asking for the separation04:00 Expecting an amicable divorce and navigating respect06:00 Growing apart and realizing life goals were misaligned08:00 Video games, emotional distance, and coexistence10:00 The moment she knew it was over12:00 Navigating family disappointment and cultural expectations14:00 Living together after separation and lack of closure16:00 Divorce without cheating or betrayal18:00 Why people need a “reason” for divorce20:00 Learning what conversations should happen before marriage22:00 Buying out the house and staying during separation24:00 Financial pressure and creative income solutions26:00 Dog sitting, Instacart, and Airbnb as survival strategy28:00 Letting go of the house and releasing attachment30:00 Making the best decision with the information you have32:00 The power of consuming uplifting conversations34:00 Music, mindset, and choosing different energy36:00 Tiny choices that create transformation38:00 Rebuilding life after divorce one decision at a timeLinks Mentioned in the ShowNeed a monthly reset and rhythm?

In this episode, we dive deep into one of Ayurveda's most fundamental yet misunderstood concepts of Agni. Often translated simply as “digestive fire,” Agni is far more than digestion. It is the body's intelligence to transform food into energy, nutrients into tissues, experiences into learning, and stress into resilience. When this ability weakens, stagnation begins. And stagnation, Ayurveda says, is the starting point of disease.Episode Highlights:Why Agni is considered the essence of lifeHow digestion, immunity, and clarity are all expressions of AgniThe difference between Ama (toxins), Ojas (resilience), and Kapha How does lifestyle shape Agni far more than medicinesWhy are autoimmune diseases not randomSrotas: The intelligent functional pathwaysTimestamps: 00:00 – 05:30: What Truly Governs Health?05:30 – 11:00: What Is Agni Beyond “Digestive Fire”?11:00 – 16:30: Levels of Agni in the Body: From Digestion to Tissue Formation16:30 – 21:30: How to Assess Your Agni?21:30 – 26:30: Agni Beyond the Gut: Mind, Vision, Skin & Metabolism26:30 – 35:30: Strengthening Agni the Right Way35:30 – 41:00: Ancient Bodies in a World of Excess41:00 – 46:30: Mental Stress & Agni Breakdown46:30 – 52:00: Pratyaparadha: When Intellect Turns Against Health52:00 – 57:30: Agni, Ojas & Manas: The Triangle That Runs the Body57:30 – 1:00:00: Autoimmunity Through an Ayurvedic Lens1:00:00 – 1:05:30: Srotas: Rethinking Disease Pathways1:05:30 – 1:11:00: Structural vs Functional Srotas1:11:00 – 1:16:30: How the Body Decides What You Become1:16:30 – 1:21:30: Agni, Dhatu Agni & Why the First Conversion Matters Most1:21:30 – 1:27:00: Can Biomarkers Measure Agni? 1:27:00 – 1:29:30:Treating the Person, Not the ReportAbout Dr Vaidya M PrasadDr. Prasad M, a postgraduate in Ayurveda, has been practicing Ayurveda since 1996.

As the United States celebrates its 250th birthday, it’s fitting to reflect on the biblical perspective of leadership. Daniel 2:21 reminds us that God “changes times and seasons; He deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.” Every president, past and present, serves under God’s sovereign hand. Recognizing their achievements, especially those guided by faith, is a way to honor God’s provision for our nation. Intersecting Faith & Life How can we honor God by recognizing the positive impact of leaders He places in office? In what ways can you personally pray for national leaders and their decisions? Reflect on moments in American history where prayer and faith intersected with leadership—how can this inspire your own spiritual practice? Do you want to listen ad-free?

He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.” - Daniel 2:21 What does it take to be President of the United States of America? As our nation prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday, we probably have a wide variety of thoughts and answers to this question. Still, throughout history, many men of various backgrounds, political leanings, religious beliefs, and stature have served as the President of the United States. Although we hold elections in the United States, we don’t want to ignore what Daniel explains: that God has a hand in who comes into leadership in our nation and that we really are not the ones in control. As we commemorate yet another President’s Day, it’s biblical to set time aside to honor the many men who have held the office, regardless of our political leanings. Being the President of the United States of America takes bravery and fortitude, as it comes with serious caution and risks to both the sitting president’s life and career. In Prayers and Presidents, author and historian William J. Federer presents statistics on the danger that being President holds: “Not every United States President left the White House on his own accord, with some dying in office and others murdered while serving. Four Presidents left office due to assassination, with the most famous and well-known account being that of the 16th President, Abraham Lincoln, and the 35th President, John F. Kennedy. Along with them, lesser-recognized presidents were murdered while in office, including 20th President, James A. Garfield, and 25th President, William McKinley. As well, 40th President Ronald Reagan and soon-to-be re-elected Donald J. Trump survived assassination attempts on their lives. Reagan, while in office, and Trum,p while on the presidential campaign trail before taking office in his second nonconsecutive term as our 47th President at 78 years old.” Regardless of the risks, from the very beginning of our nation’s birth, prayer has been recognized and encouraged by many of our Presidents, including our very first President, George Washington, who carried a well-worn pocket-sized edition of the Anglican Book of Common Prayer. Providence Forum executive director Dr. Jerry Newcombe describes how General Washington, during the Revolutionary War, felt the odds of winning were too great against us, so on July 4th, 1775—a year before independence—he sent the following order to his troops: “He requires and expects of all officers and soldiers, not engaged in actual duty, a punctual attendance on Divine service, to implore the blessing of Heaven upon the means used for our safety and defense.’" Some doubt God’s hand in America’s history and on America’s leaders. But Proverbs 21:1 reveals that, “In the Lord’s hand the king’s heart is a stream of water that He channels toward all who please Him.” As well, Proverbs 8:15 reassures us that God has a hand in who reigns and rules on earth: “By Me kings reign and rulers issue decrees that are just.” God receives glory for directing ways presidents have honored Him, such as the 33rd President, Harry S. Truman, who initiated the National Day of Prayer as an annual observance in 1952, stating: “In times of national crisis when we are striving to strengthen the foundations of peace… we stand in special need of Divine support.” In April 1970, President Richard M. Nixon urged Americans to pray for the Apollo 13 astronauts who were in crisis. As well, after their safe return, he set aside Sunday, April 19, 1970, as a National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving. President Ronald Reagan established the National Day of Prayer on May 5, 1988, to be commemorated each year on the first Thursday in May, saying: “Americans in every generation have turned to their Maker in prayer… We have acknowledged… our dependence on Almighty God.”Following the September 11th, 2001, terrorist attacks and Hurricane Katrina, our 43rd President, George W. Bush, declared Days of Prayer. Intersecting Faith & Life: We are honoring God when we honor His accomplishments achieved through the leaders He places into office as our presidents. By recognizing their godly accomplishments, we are expressing gratitude and glorifying God for His just decrees.

Around Valentine’s Day, the world celebrates romantic love—but it can’t satisfy our deepest hearts. 1 John 4:19 reminds us that true love begins with God: “We love because He first loved us.” When we make romantic relationships the ultimate priority, we risk putting God on the back burner. The Bible calls us to love God above all else, cultivating a heart that reflects His love first—because only then can we truly love others. Intersecting Faith & Life What is your focus this Valentine’s Day—God’s love or romantic pursuit? How can you cultivate your love for God first, so that all other relationships are strengthened? Take time today to ask God to center your heart on Him, letting His love overflow into your interactions with others. Do you want to listen ad-free?

Goring Bible Reading:“And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.” - Philippians 4:19 (NIV) Earlier this year, I saw an illustration on Instagram of two women shopping in a store. One woman had overloaded her shopping cart with everything from cosmetics to jewelry. These were in the form of large, white boxes with the labels of worldly possessions on each box. She was looking at a woman walking beside her, carrying just one medium-sized box in her hands and walking with ease. The label on the box only had three letters that said, “God.” The woman with all the boxes in her cart labeled with words that symbolized every material possession we can chase after in this life on Earth, asked the other woman, “Is that all you need?” The woman smiled sweetly and said simply, “Yes.” This illustration reminded me of a real-life story that happened to me many years ago. A ministry leader at a church I attended gave everyone there a free, new Bible and told us to give it away to someone who needs it. I kept the Bible in my car and prayed for the perfect opportunity to share it with someone. One day, God answered my prayer as I sat in the driver’s seat of my car at a stoplight. I noticed a woman dressed in plain clothes who was standing on the median in the road by the stoplight, begging for money. I didn’t have any cash to give her, but I remembered I had a Bible. What better gift? So, I rolled down my window and waved until she saw me and walked over to my car. When I gave the Bible to her, she flipped through the pages with a wide smile, then looked at me and said with great enthusiasm, “If we have Jesus, we have everything! If we don’t have Jesus, we have nothing!” I said, “Amen!” Then drove away because the traffic light had turned green. Years later, I reflected on that memory and the truth of her simple yet profound statement. This caused me to reflect on my personal values and outlook on life. What was I chasing after? Worldly wealth so I could afford all my material needs, stability in the workforce with a job that’s fulfilling and purposeful, relationships, friendships…the list goes on. This reminds me of a quote I saw online that said something like, “If we chase Jesus as much as we chase people, then maybe He would give us people we don’t need to chase.” I found the same to be true when it comes to seeking Jesus Christ instead of worldly desires. The Bible says in Matthew 6:33 (NLT), “Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.” I’m learning to apply this verse to my daily living. It’s important to not just read the Bible and study it but to apply the advice written within it. When it comes to seeking God and His Kingdom first, I am doing that by starting my day with Him in Bible study and prayer, then continuing the conversation with God as I move through my day. You don’t have to pray to Him out loud. You can whisper a prayer or stay silent as you converse with God privately in your head. You don’t have to literally pray every second, 24/7, 365, but the point is for us to involve God in our day and make time for Him, just like we would for a best friend or family member whom we love. The older I become, the more I see how true it is that when we have Jesus, we have everything we need, but without Him, we have nothing. Think about it: There are people who have great financial wealth but are dying on the inside. They need a Savior because no amount of money can save you. There are popular people who are influential and famous yet feel empty because they’ve found that fame can never satisfy this deep hunger in their souls. Whether they know it or not, only Jesus Christ can quench their thirst and satisfy their hunger. While he was living on Earth, Blaise Pascal said, “There is a God-shaped vacuum in the heart of every man, which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God the Creator, made known through Jesus Christ.” As we go through this new year and the rest of our lives, let’s seek God first before everything and everyone else, then experience how He completes us.

Have you ever felt too far gone for God to forgive or love you again? The story of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15:20 reminds us that no matter how far we stray, God’s love never wavers. Before the son could even speak a word of repentance, his father ran to meet him, embraced him, and celebrated his return. This story isn’t primarily about the rebellious child—it’s about a loving Father whose compassion and patience are relentless. Intersecting Faith & Life How might you respond differently if you fully trusted that God’s love never wavers? Are there areas of your heart where you’ve kept the door closed to Him?

Do you fear returning to Him because of the places you’ve been or the things you’ve done? Jesus told a moving story in Luke 15 about God’s tender forgiveness toward His loved ones when they go astray. We call it the story of the Prodigal Son. The word prodigal literally means one who spends money in a reckless, extravagant way. In this story, a younger son asked his father for his inheritance early. (In Jewish custom, that would be the equivalent of telling his father he wished he were dead.) He then took his share of what was still legally his father’s, and went to a faraway land and squandered his entire inheritance on foolish, reckless, raunchy living. He was living high on the hog, rich with money and “friends,” until he found himself sleeping with the pigs, penniless and alone. Starving, and upon realizing he was envying the pigs for the slop they got to eat, he decided to return home and ask if he could be his father’s hired hand. Then at least he’d be fed better than pigs and have a place to sleep among his father’s servants. It must have been a long, grueling journey home for this man, who by this time was smelly, scrawny, and had been homeless for quite some time. A long walk home without food, water, proper clothing, or even good shoes only increased his shame and humiliation. Perhaps he had a speech prepared, an admission of his wrongdoing, a pleading for his father to consider taking him in as a servant. Or, maybe he just intended to fall in shame, at his father’s feet, and beg to even be heard. But before he could utter a word, his father surprised, shocked, and overwhelmed him with the unexpected greeting he received. His father’s pride was at stake with the return of a son whom he should consider dead to him. How he reacted would set an example to other Jewish families when their rebellious sons acted with such disrespect and contempt. Yet this father, upon seeing from a distance that the scraggly man making his way up the road was not some homeless derelict or demon-possessed wanderer, but his long-lost son, picked up the ends of his robe and ran to meet him. Before the shamed son could even utter a word to express the humiliation in his heart, his father embraced him, held onto him like there was no tomorrow, and then ordered his servants to give his son a robe (representing his position as “sonship”) and a ring (indicating his authority once again as an estate holder). The father then ordered that plans be made to celebrate the homecoming of his wayward son. They literally threw a party. This son, who was once thought dead, was now alive. He had returned home. There was no punishment. No lecture, no shaming, no rebuke, and no harsh words. Just grace. Forgiveness. Abundant love. I used to think this story was about the warning to not rebel, the consequences of disobedience, and the importance of repentance. But the story isn’t so much about the rebellious child, but about the patient, persevering, forgiving love of a father—the one who wouldn’t think for a second to relegate his child from heir to servant. His child’s position in the family didn’t change through disrespectful actions or heinous circumstances. Only the son’s heart had originally changed—and become calloused—toward his father. His father’s love for him, however, had never wavered. Intersecting Faith & Life: Do you realize that no matter what you and I do, we can’t “undo” God’s love for us? We can’t position ourselves out of our inheritance in Christ. We can’t disappoint Him to the point that He cancels us, or unfriends us, or relegates us to “outside-the-house” status and lets us visit once or twice a year at Easter or Christmas. The door to His home is always open. In fact, it never closes to us, once we’ve been allowed in to dwell with Him. Our door is the one we shut—the door to our hearts that causes Him to stand and knock and ask to come in (Revelation 3:20). Is the door of your heart constantly open to this Compassionate Father? If you’ve been gone a while, would you simply return to Him and dwell with Him continually? His invitation to you has never expired, His patience has never worn thin, His love has never run dry. Be the one who runs to Him and experiences His loving embrace. Lord Jesus, You have never allowed me to be a stranger to You; may You never be a neglected guest in my heart and home. Thank You for being the Father to whom I can run, ever trust, always love.

Behind the scenes of everyday family life is a mental workload many of us carry without even realizing it, and that's exactly what Debbie Sorensen explores in her interview with sociologist Allison Daminger about her book, What's on Her Mind: The Mental Workload of Family Life. Allison defines cognitive labor as the invisible work of managing family needs and obligations, and walks us through its importance for individual well-being and relationship satisfaction. The discussion also touches on how these tasks are often unrecognized in statistics, the gender dynamics in cognitive labor, and the implications for families and workplaces. You'll also get a look at insights from her research involving both different-sex and same-sex couples, and she suggests ways to address gender imbalances through individual, cultural, and systemic changes.Listen and Learn: How cognitive household labor silently shapes family lifeHow mental load secretly drains energy in daily life and why the invisible tasks of keeping a household running can be more exhausting than anyone realizesWhy the small, everyday decisions parents make reveal hidden patterns in family life that most people never noticeWhy women often carry the mental load at home even when they out-earn or out-work their partnersHow couples explain unequal household labor reveals that what seems like personality differences is actually shaped by deeply ingrained social and cultural expectations around genderThe surprising ways “superhuman” and “bumbler” roles shape relationships and what small changes can help partners share the load more freelyInsights from same-sex couples on sharing mental load and the lessons they offer for balancing household responsibilitiesResources: What's on Her Mind: The Mental Workload of Family Life https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9780691245386Allison's Website: https://www.allisondaminger.com/Allison's Substack: https://allisondaminger.substack.com/Connect with Allison on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/allisondaminger/ About Allison DamingerAllison Daminger is an assistant professor of sociology at UW-Madison and the author of the new book What's on Her Mind: The Mental Workload of Family Life.

His love endures forever.” - Psalm 136:1 No one saw me most days. After my first child was born, I quit my teaching job and decided to stay home. Within four-and-a-half years, I had three little ones. Raising children at home is still a lot of work, but many days I wondered if anyone noticed all of the little, ordinary things I did. Things like the dishes, planning meals, cleaning up toys, and the endless piles of laundry. As a young college girl, I had dreamed of doing great things for God, but I also wanted motherhood. Could motherhood be grand and glorious? During that season, I leaned into the idea that the ordinary, everyday moments could be glorious. Within the regular rhythms of my life, I began to seek God in His word. I took online classes on how to study the Bible, even earning a degree. As I raised my children, loving them in the daily routine of life, I began to also see that God’s love for me was the same. In order for God to love me more, I thought maybe I had to do more. Instead, God’s love meets us right where we are - in the quiet, ordinary, everyday life. In a way, God has shown His love in the most extraordinary way—through the cross. Jesus’ death, resurrection, and ascension to heaven have sealed our eternity and given us new lives and purposes here on earth. It is truly a magnificent source of comfort when we think about this powerful example of God’s love. But when life feels quiet, repetitive, or unremarkable, we may wonder, “Where is God’s love now?” In Psalm 23:6, David says that God’s loving mercy will follow him “all the days of my life.” Not just the grand days, but the daily grind as well. Not just the milestones, but the quiet mornings filled with routine. During our responsibilities and routines, God’s love quietly and completely follows us. The word “follow” suggests activity, not passivity. God’s love is present, and it pursues us! Psalm 55 reminds us that no one seeks God, but God seeks us! His love also follows close by us. It is not a distant love or occasional love. It walks with us, holds our hand, and never leaves. The idea of God’s love walking with us is found in other Bible verses as well. In Micah 6:8, we read, “He has shown you, O mortal, what is good and what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” God is calling everyone to walk with Him, in His love! The Bible often describes faith not as a leap, but as a walk. As we walk with God and in His love, we are constantly moving, changing, and going. God’s love consistency shows us for us - no matter the season or life circumstance. You can’t walk through anything in this life without God’s love. Step by step, day by day, God’s love can be experienced over and over again. Psalm 136:1 says, “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever.” God’s love is enduring. Forever! As a new mom, I would always have to refill my children’s juice cups. Over time, I realized that my spiritual cup was constantly running dry as well. It was during those moments when I felt weak, tired, and empty that I needed God’s love to fill me up! His love has no end. Unlike human love, which can grow tired or fade under pressure, God’s love is full and everlasting. God’s love is available on days we feel empty and have nothing to give. When sorrow fills our hearts, we can run to the God of love. You and I can come to God on ordinary days, weary days, and dark days. All of God’s love is always available. Each day gives us a fresh reminder of His love for us. We are not asked to endure our sorrow with yesterday's strength or tomorrow’s hope; God’s love supplies what we need for today. Intersecting Faith & Life: Our lives are filled with mundane moments. How can you remember God’s love each day? It is often a quiet, soft love. Look for moments like a beautiful sky or the bright sunshine. Maybe you have a pet or a friend who is constantly checking in on you. Let those reminders be there to help you thank God for His love for you. Scripture is a great place to be reminded of God’s love. Take the additional reading section and read a few verses each day this week to help yourself be reminded of God’s extraordinary love in the ordinary moments.

“What is classical Christian education?” sounds like an easy question, until you try to answer it.In this episode, Davies Owens is joined by Dr. David Diener, professor of education at Hillsdale College and executive director of the Alcuin Fellowship, to offer a clear, grounded explanation of what classical Christian education is and what it is not. They explore why this approach begins with the purpose of education, not just the methods, and how it aims to form students into a certain kind of human being, equipped to live well in this life and the next.You will also hear how classical Christian schools differ from many modern models that treat education primarily as a transaction for career readiness, and why “integration” matters more than adding spiritual elements onto an otherwise secular framework.

Most people don't struggle with fitness because they lack motivation or discipline.They struggle because they're trying to follow plans that don't fit real life.In this episode, we talk about why chasing the perfect workout routine often leads to burnout, inconsistency, and starting over and why simple, structured plans are far more effective for busy adults.We cover:Why “perfect” plans fall apart when life gets busyHow overthinking workouts kills momentumWhat a simple plan actually looks like in real lifeHow consistency comes from clarity, not motivationIf you've ever felt stuck waiting for the perfect routine, this episode will help you simplify your approach and start building strength without overwhelm.

*In this episode, we talk about abortion, pregnancy reduction, potential loss of an unborn baby, and infertility. If you have an aversion or are sensitive to any of these topics, we recommend skipping this episode.How do we approach God with this?Has my view of God changed because of this hardship?Can I still trust God? Will I trust Him?If this doesn't go well, will I resent Him?These are all questions that Mauricio and Christin Rosa faced when they received the news of a crisis in their pregnancy and learned that they were at risk of losing their unborn son. When doctors advised them to consider a “reduction” in their twin pregnancy, their hearts broke for their child and the hardships he would have to endure if he survived. But they held steadfast to their belief and trusted God with the outcome.This story touches our hearts deeply, and we are so grateful that Mauricio and Christin were kind enough to share it with us personally on the The Growing Home Together Podcast. This courageous couple is here to encourage us and to speak about how that difficult season of life impacted their faith. Christin is a teacher, author, prayer leader, and pro-life advocate. She has written a powerful new book called Saving Nate: Choosing Life after a Devastating Prenatal Diagnosis.In this episode, Mauricio and Christin share:The importance of guarding your heart against bitternessEncouragement for the “deep valleys” of lifeHow to go to God with your worriesAnd much more!We hope you enjoy this conversation!Show Notes: growinghometogether.com/mauricio-christin-rosa-123

We're heading into February - that stretch of winter where the novelty of the New Year has worn off, it's still cold and dark, and motivation can feel… thin. In today's episode, we talk honestly about the winter blahs, why they're completely normal, and why feeling apathetic or “off” doesn't mean you're broken or falling behind. We normalize the slump and remind ourselves that losing steam doesn't equal losing progress.Together, we dig into practical, sustainable ways to work with this season instead of fighting it. From dialing back expectations without quitting, to leaning on minimum standards of care, to rejecting all-or-nothing mentalities (looking at you, 75 Hard), this conversation is about grit and grace.Forward motion still counts - even when it's slower, messier, and quieter than usual.“Sixty to seventy percent is way more than zero.

That theology isn't abstract for Tim. Over twenty years ago, he received a terminal cancer diagnosis—and he's been living out an “even if” faith ever since.In our conversation, we talk honestly about suffering, grief, and gratitude. We explore how music becomes prayer when words are hard to find, how God's Word anchors us when faith feels fragile, and how joy and sorrow can coexist without canceling each other out.If you've ever felt worn out by performative faith—or needed permission to bring your real story to Jesus—this conversation is for you.In this episode, we talk about:Why Scripture still matters when life doesn't make senseHow suffering strips faith down to what's real and lastingThe story behind Tim's new book, Waking Up Again: A Journey of Grief and GratitudeSeeing his story portrayed in I Can Only Imagine 2, and what it was like watching that unfoldHolding joy and grief together in everyday lifeHow music helps us process pain and hope simultaneously as prayers to be sungTim's personal habits for staying engaged with God's WordA song recommendation you'll want on repeat (and we'll be using it for Monday's episode!)Connect with Tim: All the links to all the things are at https://michellenezat.com/timChange your music.

Midlife often gets labelled as a crisis… but for many couples, it's actually an awakening.It's the moment when old roles, surface-level connections, and autopilot living stop working, and something deeper starts asking for attention.In this episode of Reignite: Love, Sex & Truth for Conscious Couples, we explore why midlife is often when real intimacy finally becomes possible. Not because everything feels easy… but because pretending, performing, and avoiding truth no longer satisfies.They speak to the restlessness, desire for more, and emotional honesty that arise in this season and how couples can either grow apart or consciously meet each other in a deeper, more alive way.This conversation reframes mid-life not as a breakdown… but as the beginning of a more truthful, connected relationship. What You'll Hear in This EpisodeWhy midlife isn't a crisis, but a wake-up call that something deeper wants to be livedHow many couples realize they've outgrown the version of love they were taughtWhy surface-level intimacy and habitual connection stop nourishing us in mid-lifeHow desire and sexuality often deepen with age, when truth and emotional safety come onlineWhy midlife brings buried wounds, unmet needs, and unspoken desires to the surfaceHow resistance shows up when growth is near and why resistance isn't failureWhy midlife love is no longer about habit, but about conscious choice and daily recommitment Midlife isn't asking you to blow everything up.It's inviting you to stop living on autopilot… and start choosing each other with honesty, presence, and depth.That's often where the relationship actually begins. ✨ Save your spot for our upcoming February and April Group Couples Retreat: A sacred, guided experience for five couples ready to reconnect, heal, and reignite.

This is part two of our series on dysfunctional families and ADHD.If last week's episode felt heavy, emotional, or disorienting, that makes sense. Episode one was about naming reality—and naming reality can stir grief, anger, relief, or all three. But we can't change what we're not willing to name.Today, we answer the next (and crucial) question:If that's dysfunction… what does health actually look like?Because knowing what you don't want isn't enough. You also need a clear picture of what you're moving toward.In this episode, I walk you through 10 signs of a healthy, functional family—not perfect families, not calm-all-the-time families, but regulated-enough, repair-focused, emotionally safe-enough families. Yes, even with ADHD.We talk about:Why repair—not perfection—is the real difference between healthy and dysfunctional familiesWhat direct communication, emotional attunement, boundaries, and accountability actually look like in real lifeHow to end parentification and create age-appropriate rolesWhy unconditional love, safety, and reliable care matter more than appearancesSmall, realistic shifts you can make without shame or perfectionismThis isn't a pass/fail checklist. It's about direction, not perfection.If you're pausing, noticing, repairing, and setting boundaries—you are already changing the pattern. And that's how generational cycles end.Your family can be marked by safety, honesty, connection, and repair. Even with ADHD. Especially with ADHD.Resources mentioned:@codependencykate@timfletcherco@sitwithwhit@benvbennettWatch this episode on YouTubeWant help with your ADHD? Join FOCUSED!Have questions for Kristen?

About This EpisodeIn this episode, I talk about why anxiety isn't always a lack of faith — and how Scripture describes it more like a fractured inner allegiance.I share a personal story about carrying responsibility I never clarified, how my body stayed on high alert even when I believed the right things, and what changed when I stopped trying to calm myself and started releasing control.We explore:Why Philippians 4:6 isn't a command to “stop worrying”How prayer realigns trust instead of suppressing emotionWhat the nervous system is actually asking when anxiety shows upWhy peace isn't passive — it guards the inner lifeHow small daily rhythms train the body to trust againThere's also a short, gentle moment in the episode where I invite you to pause, breathe, and release one thing you've been carrying alone.No hype.No fixing.Just alignment.If This ResonatedYou don't need more information.You likely need a repeatable rhythm that your body can trust.Join us on my skool platform https://www.skool.com/the-word-wellne...

Welcome to another thought-provoking episode of the Building Your Money Machine Show! Today, I'm shining a spotlight on a reality most people don't want to talk about: the fact that earning more money doesn't automatically make you feel rich or free. In fact, more than half of households making over $100,000 a year are still living paycheck to paycheck. If you've ever wondered why hitting a higher income doesn't bring lasting peace or satisfaction—and sometimes even leads to more anxiety—this episode is for you.I share why the feeling of being rich is rarely about the numbers in your bank account, but much more about psychology, behavior, and clarity.

Pleasing God over people is a tension every believer faces. This Christian devotional explores the difference between people-pleasing and God-honoring obedience, drawing wisdom from Ecclesiastes 3:1–2 and the life of Jesus. True biblical love is not rooted in appeasement or fear of conflict, but in discerning when to speak truth, when to remain silent, and when obedience to God requires courage over comfort. Highlights People-pleasing and peace-making are not always the same Biblical love values truth over appeasement There is a God-appointed time to speak and a time to remain silent Jesus modeled courage, truth, and discernment in every situation Fear of man can prevent growth and obedience God equips believers with the right words when we trust Him Pleasing God sometimes requires speaking up, not staying quiet Do you want to listen ad-free?

Yet, I also knew if I said, "You're right," I'd be lying. In reality, there is a difference between people-pleasing and peace-making. They are not always one and the same. In the past, I'd be inclined to lie to keep the peace. I'd be inclined to brush things under the carpet of don't-lift-up-the-corner-of-this-rug for anything—to keep everyone happy. I'd be inclined to adapt to make sure everyone is okay. This is not biblical love, but it verges more towards manipulative love. Appeasing man is not always the same as pleasing the Lord. We must be careful here. There is a time for everything under the sun. “There is a time for everything,and a season for every activity under the heavens:a time to be born and a time to die,a time to plant and a time to uproot…” (Eccl. 3:1-2) There is a time to speak truth and a time to be quiet. There is a time to bring clarity and a time to listen. There is a time to defend and a time to back off. There is a time to pray, and there is a time to say things. Jesus didn't always back away; sometimes He spoke truth. He called out the Pharisees and told them the truth when they fought Him (Matt. 23:27-28). He said, "Forgive them" aloud when He was being crucified (Luke 23:34). He addressed the Pharisees' lack of mercy with a straightforward address (Matt. 23:23). He powerfully used His words and actions to drive the merchants out of the temple (Matt. 21:12-13). The list goes on and on... Jesus did not always stay silent. To turn the other cheek does not always mean taking it... There is a time to speak up. There is a time to not fear man. There is a time to tell the truth. The key is to pray and discern what God would have you do (Eph. 5:17). Sometimes things never change because we never change our approach. Sometimes ruts continue because we don't trust God to equip us with the right words. Sometimes habits continue because we fear man more than we believe God will help us. Don't mistake fear of man for fear of the Lord. The Lord may have you speak up louder than the fear of man has ever permitted you to. This is not unbiblical; it may be monumental in your walk with the Lord. The answer is not always silence. Sometimes the way that most pleases God is speaking up. Wisdom is knowing the difference. Lying is sinning, even if it is pursuing peace-making. The question is—how do we be true, while being godly and loving? Sometimes, this requires pausing to seek God for what needs to be said. Other times, it may require praying to get a couple of levels deeper than what is on the surface. The ultimate key is to respond to a person from God's will and not to react from our own. Intersecting Faith & Life: How do you tend to react? Do you negate your feelings? Do you cover the truth to keep peace? How might God be leading you in a new direction?

High performers facing burnout and performance pressure often fear losing effectiveness when they slow down. In this episode, Julie Holly explores how to stay aligned as life keeps moving—without reverting to self-abandonment or urgency.Many high-capacity humans experience clarity during burnout recovery—then wonder if they can keep it once life speeds back up. The pressure returns. Expectations remain. And a quiet question surfaces:Can I stay with myself when nothing slows down?In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly guides listeners through the Reinforcement stage of Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR)—where alignment is practiced inside real life, not protected from it.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why effectiveness and self-abandonment often became paired early onHow performance pressure, urgency, and role confusion trained your system to override itselfWhat the Reinforcement stage actually looks like in daily lifeHow to stay present, engaged, and effective without hardening or disappearingWhy alignment may change how others experience you—and why that doesn't mean you're doing it wrongJulie clarifies why Identity-Level Recalibration is not another mindset tactic or productivity strategy. ILR is the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool effective again, because it begins with identity—not effort.You're not being asked to slow life down.You're learning how not to leave yourself while it moves.Team Recalibration (For Leaders)Instead of asking:“How do we keep this going?”Try asking:“What would it look like to stay grounded while we move forward?”This reinforces identity over urgency and models leadership without self-erasure.Today's Micro RecalibrationFinish this sentence honestly:“When things start moving quickly, one way I can stay connected to myself is…”No fixing. No forcing. Just presence.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!
