In this intimate conversation, literary agent–turned–debut author Samantha Browning Shea unpacks the themes behind her novel Marrow—from fertility and “wellness” culture to coming home, belonging, and the power (and danger) of wanting something deeply.We also go behind the scenes of agent life: what submissions actually look like, how editorial advocacy works after a book sells, and why your author–agent relationship matters just as much as your editor. Samantha closes with thoughtful book recs if you loved the emotional core of Marrow.

Desire is intrinsic to all living forms – the urge to exist and flourish. It turns to suffering when, due to unmet needs, it contracts, intensifies and separates us from our full aliveness and awareness. These two talks guide us in awakening from this trance, and discovering how within desire is the longing that can carry us to true belonging. In this talk, Tara explores:  - how the “wanting mind” pulls us away from presence and freedom. - how unmet needs fuel craving and why substitutes never bring lasting joy. - the suffering of identifying with desire and how mindfulness offers release. - using the RAIN practice to recognize, allow, and soften the wanting mind. - tracing back desire to discover love, belonging, and freedom already here.

From my theory of persistence, which sits at the heart of my sci-fi writing, to pioneering conversational AI that transformed the relationships between doctors and patients, to creating groundbreaking tools that are transforming the relationship between authors and their readers, I thrive at the intersection of imagination and execution. My current project is Spoken, bringing authors and readers together around great audio stories that are made possible by technology. Before Spoken, I co-founded Conversa, a platform that connected patients and care teams using conversational AI.  Along the way, I've built technologies that span personalization (WebMD), collaborative movie-making (JumperCut), ontology-driven knowledge graphs (OntoLogic.ai), and concept-based health record threading (WellMed).   The introductory, end, and bumper music for this podcast (“Laser Groove”) was composed and produced by Kevin MacLeod of www.incompetech.com and is Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0

Medina Federated ChurchPastor Darren LemmonRomans 1:8-15Romans Series

In Sonnet 147, William Shakespeare brings together two themes that have agitated him before: firstly the at the time fairly commonplace notion of love – and, more to the point, desire – as a disease that weakens the mind to the point of an irrational madness and afflicts the body in a similarly stark fashion, and secondly the ways in which his mistress deviates from the ordinarily praised ideal of beauty. The sonnet therefore returns the series firmly and identifiably to the 'Dark Lady' and the effect she is having on our poet in an unequivocally physical manner, leaving behind the reflections on the soul of the previous sonnet and concerning itself once more with his lust for someone he knows – or at the very least declares – to be neither traditionally beautiful nor morally sound.

In the interview, Mark and Lance talk about: Lance's 20 years of experience in the police force and how he had planned on a completely different career path by studying media arts and graphic design How people usually ask police officers if they're seen any crazy stuff, but rarely ask if they've seen amazing things The power of community and connecting and communicating with people "Always be in a constant state of create." A philosophy that drives Lance in his life and writing How any time a person creates something it's a gift to the world and the universe Lance's earliest experience writing lyrics and music Being a huge comic fan, Batman in particular The revelation of "write what you know" in creating his first novel TO DARK FOR THE LIGHT Finding his writing community via numerous podcasts, YouTube, and other online resources Establishing a virtual "mastermind" from the shared writing resources Deciding to set his novel in Toronto, Ontario, Canada instead of choosing a "more popular" major US city Using Toronto's iconic skyline on the cover to ensure the setting for the book was clear Debating over whether or not to begin with Water Kascade's origin story The tricky balance of writing an authentic police procedural novel (ie, ignoring those tedious long boring periods of time in the day to day life of law enforcement) The training of always being alert and aware as a police officer and how that benefits Lance as a writer Some of the things that authors get wrong related to police work The integrity involved in releasing the book under the pseudonym A.L. Wahdel so as not to take advantage of his role and employer Advice Lance would offer to other authors And more . . .

In this sermon, Pastor Ben Nistor teaches on 1 Peter 1:22-2:3. Peter calls believers to live out their new "born again" identity. Being born again is not the end, but it is the beginning of a life marked by sincere love and continual growth. First, born-again Christians love one another earnestly from a pure heart (1:22). This is only possible because God has purified our souls through obedience to His truth. Our love flows from the imperishable seed of new birth—a transformation that does not expire. Second, born-again Christians long for the pure spiritual milk of God's Word (2:2). Just as infants crave milk for growth, we must hunger for Scripture, for by it we grow up into salvation—if indeed we have tasted that the Lord is good. Third, Peter warns us to put away malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander (2:1)—things that choke out love for others and longing for God's truth. The text points to four realities: 1) It is impossible to love others without being born again, 2) Love is evidence of spiritual growth, 3) Craving God's Word is vital for Christian growth, and 4) Longing for the Word of God is a test that verifies if a person is truly born again. Have you been born again? And if so, do you see in your life a growing love for others and a deepening appetite for His Word? ________________________________________ Links to Sermon Notes & Answers: ➤Sermon Notes (Blank): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_bf3e538378ee48d8bba3acfa869bb791.pdf ➤Sermon Notes (Answers): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_3f2500243cbd45a08bf25e8bd28c11a3.pdf ________________________________________ Subscribe to this channel to catch weekly expositional sermons from the Bible. ________________________________________ Explore more sermons and information: https://www.sheridanhills.org/watch-new ________________________________________ Follow us: ➤Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sheridanhills/ ➤Twitter: https://twitter.com/sheridanhills01 ➤Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sheridanhills/

Join us this summer as we dive into the Psalms. Each week, we'll explore a different Psalm to see how its timeless truths speak into our present lives. From joy and gratitude to sorrow and struggle, the Psalms remind us that God is with in every season of life. So, bring your whole heart this summer—let's learn to pray, praise, and trust like never before. This week, Pastor Karla delves into our heart's ulitmate desire. We assume Jesus, but she puts before us that question for us to answer for ourselves. And with all that is competing for our attention, we are asked when is the last time you swooned over God?

We are launching a Fall series on the book of Zechariah. Zechariah? Where is that and who was he? Did you know his letter is the most quoted "minor" prophet in the New Testament? Israel is starting to return from Babylon and they're likely discouraged with the brokenness and reminders of failure surrounding them (sound familiar?). Into this brokenness, God speaks words of encouragement to his people. This encouragement was for both them and us!

As the founder of Reboot.io, he works with leaders to foster both professional success and personal wholeness through the practice of radical self-inquiry. In this conversation, we explore Jerry's latest book "Reunion: Leadership and the Longing to Belong," which examines how reconnecting with our ancestral past can help us build a more compassionate future. Expect to learn: — How disconnection from our ancestral lineage contributes to our ability to "other" people in society today — Why understanding your own heritage creates an empathetic bridge to those different from you — Why letting go of the myth of meritocracy can be liberating for leaders — The relationship between feeling worthy of love, safety, and belonging and our ability to extend those gifts to others And more. You can learn more about Jerry's work, books, and coaching practice at https://www.reboot.io --- Jerry Colonna is a coach, writer, and speaker who focuses on leadership, business, and the practice of radical self-inquiry. He is the Co-founder and CEO of Reboot.io, a company born from the rallying cry that work does not have to destroy us. Work can be the way in which we achieve our fullest self. A graduate of Queens College, Jerry helps people lead with humanity and equanimity. His unique blend of Buddhism, Jungian therapy, and entrepreneurial know-how has made him a sought-after coach and leader, working with some of the largest firms in the country. In his work as a coach, he draws on his experience in Venture Capital (VC) as Co-founder of Flatiron Partners, one of the most successful, early-stage investment programs. Later, he was a partner with J.P. Morgan Partners (JPMP), the private equity arm of J.P. Morgan Chase. Along with a strong commitment to the nonprofit sector, Jerry is the author of two books: REBOOT: Leadership and the Art of Growing Up (2019) and REUNION: Leadership and the Longing to Belong. Reboot was met with critical acclaim, stirring up a big question in the hearts and minds of people: “How have I been complicit in creating the conditions I say I don't want?” Jerry's second book builds on this question, asking us what benefit we get from the conditions we say we don't want. Jerry is astounded by the fact that he lives on a farm outside of Boulder, CO near the foothills of the Rockies, and far from the streets of Brooklyn where he was born and raised. He is the father of three amazing humans, each of whom cares deeply about the love, safety, and belonging of others. --- Interview Links: — Jerry's website: https://www.reboot.io — Jerry's books: https://amzn.to/3Hw4gpV

Why do relationships feel so confusing and hard?If you grew up with a narcissistic or emotionally limited mother, you may have learned to associate closeness with danger and distance with safety. This week,, we're talking about relational trauma, attachment wounds, and how childhood trauma shapes the way you show up in adult relationships.We'll explore:What relational trauma actually means and how it differs from single-event traumaHow disorganized attachment can leave you stuck in a painful push-pull cycleWhy your nervous system reacts to love, intimacy, and connection as threatsWhat it looks like to relate from survival mode, and how to begin shifting out of itWhy healing relational trauma requires relationship and how to do that without overwhelming yourselfGentle, trauma-informed steps to stretch your capacity for safe, connected relationshipsWhether you're someone who over-functions in relationships, avoids intimacy altogether, or struggles to trust your own feelings, I get it.  You're protecting yourself in the only way your system knows how. Resources:Listen to Episode 105 first: Why You Feel This Way: Trauma, the Nervous System, & the Healing Journey

Episode 594: Dr. Will Willimon - The Church We Carry Voices in my Head (the Rick Lee James Podcast) My guest today on Voices in My Head is one of the most recognized and influential voices in contemporary preaching and church leadership, Dr. William H. Willimon. A retired bishop in The United Methodist Church, Willimon has served as Dean of the Chapel at Duke University, authored more than 70 books, and inspired generations of pastors with his wit, candor, and deep theological insight.   His newest book, The Church We Carry: Loss, Leadership, and the Future of Our Church, is part memoir, part prophetic critique, and part call to action in the wake of the United Methodist Church's massive wave of disaffiliations. In it, he revisits his own home congregation, Buncombe Street United Methodist Church, exploring the forces—cultural, theological, and personal—that led to its departure from the denomination. Along the way, he reflects on what it means to tell the truth about our past, to navigate conflict with integrity, and to imagine a faithful future for the church we bear forward. The Church We Carry https://a.co/d/1Q4j7ls can be purchased on Amazon.         ----more---- Rick Has A Book!   Get the Audiobook, Out of the Depths: A Songwriter's Journey Through the Psalms by your host, Rick Lee James, on Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/B0F45G6KWH?qid=1744142727&sr=1-1&ref_pageloadid=not_applicable&pf_rd_p=83218cca-c308-412f-bfcf-90198b687a2f&pf_rd_r=KEDVV78ASDMS52WQFD7W&plink=3YmaWg4y0HJ0Cjfc&pageLoadId=IaamycyuJR519uYD&creativeId=0d6f6720-f41c-457e-a42b-8c8dceb62f2c&ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_1%20     ----more----     Don't forget about our music sale on Bandcamp.

This episode features a rambling reflection that Mark recorded on part of an unexpected and unplanned four-day road trip from Calgary, Alberta to Waterloo, Ontario. When Mark was in Calgary, Alberta for the When Words Collide conference, Air Canada went on strike and all flights were canceled. Finding himself unable to get home (without having to pay for 4 nights in a hotel plus a flight on an alternate airline that would have cost him $1500), Mark decided to rent a car and drive back home nearly 3,500 kilometers (2174 miles) during the week of Monday August 18th through Friday August 22nd. Instead of being frustrated over the predicament, Mark chose to see this as an amazing opportunity to see parts of the country he hadn't yet visited. This episode is a rambling reflection from the road that he recorded on the morning of Wednesday October 20th on the highway between Dryden, ON and Thunder Bay, ON.   Links of Interest: When Words Collide Manuscript Report (Mark's affiliate link) Buy Mark a Coffee Patreon for Stark Reflections Mark's YouTube channel Mark's Stark Reflections on Writing & Publishing Newsletter (Signup) An Author's Guide to Working With Bookstores and Libraries The Relaxed Author Buy eBook Direct Buy Audiobook Direct Publishing Pitfalls for Authors An Author's Guide to Working with Libraries & Bookstores Wide for the Win Mark's Canadian Werewolf Books This Time Around (Short Story) A Canadian Werewolf in New York Stowe Away (Novella) Fear and Longing in Los Angeles Fright Nights, Big City Lover's Moon Hex and the City Only Monsters in the Building The Canadian Mounted: A Trivia Guide to Planes, Trains and Automobiles Yippee Ki-Yay Motherf*cker: A Trivia Guide to Die Hard Merry Christmas!

In this devotional, Keri Eichberger reminds us that the deepest connection our hearts long for can only be found in Jesus. Drawing from John 15:5, she shares a personal story of longing for closeness with her husband, only to be reminded that lasting comfort, peace, and joy flow from remaining connected to Christ. When we stay close to the Vine, we bear spiritual fruit that no relationship, friendship, or earthly connection can replace. Highlights The Longing for Connection: Why our hearts crave closeness, affirmation, and love from others. The True Source of Fulfillment: How Jesus, the Vine, offers the deepest connection our souls desire (John 15:5). Spiritual Fruits of the Soul: Discover the blessings of peace, joy, comfort, and security that come from staying connected to Christ. Practical Encouragement: Remaining in Jesus looks like daily communion—talking to Him, listening for His guidance, and leaning on His presence throughout your day. Finding Comfort in Christ: Earthly connections are beautiful, but only Jesus offers the unshakable peace our hearts are searching for. Join the Conversation When have you experienced a moment where Jesus reminded you that He is your truest source of connection and comfort? Share your story with us by tagging @LifeAudioNetwork and using #ConnectedInChrist. Your testimony could encourage someone longing for the same peace and closeness today.

Our kids begin to feel and respond to shame as early as 15 to 18 months of age. Those early moments can begin a lifelong struggle with feeling unworthy, inadequate and unlovable. Shame also disintegrates us (separating our thinking brain from our feeling brain) and isolates us from others.  My guest is Dr. Curt Thompson, a psychiatrist and expert on the effects of shame and how to find freedom from the lifelong negative messages that come after us and our family. “One of the things that we notice about shame is that because we are immobilized and we are hiding, shame does not actually ever allow us to move toward God. This is why we have to have someone come and find us. This is why when our children are experiencing shame, we have to go and find them. This is why it's important for us as parents to have others who are coming to find us.” YES! Moms don't let moms sit in shame. We can choose to seek out others when they are stuck in the shame cycle. Who are your 2 or 3 moms that will help you tell your story more truly?  Dr. Thompson walks us through some practical ways to build in memories and physical reminders to work against shame in the future for both ourselves and others. And throughout our conversation he points back to how God doesn't leave us to deal with shame alone. “The beautiful thing is Jesus isn't worried about our kids. He's not worried about your mothering. He's delighted. He knows how hard this work is and he knows that we will do it imperfectly. Even when we have our worst moments in which we foist to shame upon our kids or when our kids experience shame against everything that we're doing to try to combat it, God is saying: ‘I'm not worried. I never run out of options.'” Summer of Mentorship Discussion questions PDF  Connect with Dr. Thompson:  Website:  https://curtthompsonmd.com  Facebook: https://curtthompsonmd.com/  Instagram: @curt_thompson_md  Links Mentioned:   BOOK: The Soul of Shame  BOOK: Anatomy of the Soul BOOK: The Soul of Desire: Discovering the Neuroscience of Longing, Beauty, and Community BOOK: The Deepest Place: Suffering and the Formation of Hope  Featured Sponsors:  Honeylove–Treat yourself to the most comfortable and innovative bras on earth and save 20% Off sitewide at honeylove.com/DMA  Outschool–Get your family's first month for only $1 when you use our link: https://outschool.com/DMA and use code DMA at checkout.

  Suffering's Transformative Power in Faith and Mental Health   What if suffering isn't the enemy—but the doorway to beauty, connection, and hope?
