Leslie continues the Honorable Womanhood series by unpacking seven principles for building a God-honoring love story. As Leslie reminds us, an earthly relationship should never distract us from the most important relationship of all — our personal walk with Jesus Christ. When God is truly the One writing the love story, both individuals become catalysts to lead each other closer to Him. In this episode, Leslie shares specific Biblical keys that can help us keep Jesus Christ at the center of a relationship and build a powerful foundation of spiritual unity that will stand the test of time.For more resources from Leslie, visit https://setapart.org/.

Synchronicity – Love and MiraclesWhat if the people you meet, and even the dreams that visit you, aren't coincidences at all? In this episode of Makes Sense with Dr. JC Doornick, The Dragon takes you inside a true story from his upcoming book Makes Sense, where fate, love, and the mysterious “Omen Frequency” converge in a moment that defies logic. After seven years alone, JC meets the woman who will change everything, and discovers that the daughter he's been dreaming of for years already exists in her life. Through this unbelievable encounter, he explores how life's hidden patterns reveal themselves when we finally tune into the frequency beneath the noise. This episode is a meditation on faith, timing, and the awareness that turns randomness into revelation. Because love and miracles aren't found, they're noticed. Welcome to the uprising of the sleepwalking masses, where confusion dies and progress thrives. Finding Superman: How Did Humanity Get So Soft? Somewhere along the way, humanity traded its hunger for comfort—and in doing so, tamed the tiger within. In this episode, Dr. JC Doornick (The Dragon) takes you on a journey from the streets of post-earthquake Haiti to the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche, exploring how society, culture, and convenience have softened our edge, silenced our will to power, and lulled us into complacency. Through stories, philosophy, and reflection, you'll rediscover Nietzsche's concept of the Übermensch—the human who dares to rise above conformity, reclaim meaning, and say yes to life even in the storm. This is not about judgment. It's about remembering who we are, what we're capable of, and what it takes to awaken the untamed creator within. Because the world doesn't need more comfort, it requires more courage. The tiger's still there—waiting for you to let it out of its cage. Make Sense?

Natalie MacMaster is a virtuoso Canadian fiddle player from Cape Breton who's brought traditional East Coast music to the rest of the world. She was nine when she got her first fiddle, but she felt like she already had nine years of experience at that point because she had been surrounded by fiddle music from the time she was born. Now, Natalie has released a new memoir, “I Have a Love Story,” which traces her incredible life in music. She sits down with Tom Power to talk about that first fiddle she got at nine, the advice Santana gave her when she broke a string on stage, and how to get your kids to practice the fiddle (she has seven children herself).

In this special bonus episode of On Brand: Taylor's Version, now that The Life of a Showgirl is out in the world, we're asking: what does this new era tell us about Taylor Swift? To explore, I'm joined by Joanna Weiss, editor of Harvard Magazine, journalist, and co-author of Taylor Swift: Album by Album, a deep dive into every era. Together, we'll unpack how Showgirl fits into Taylor's evolution and what this chapter reveals about her storytelling, strategy, and brand. What You'll Learn in This Episode How Life of a Showgirl fits into Taylor Swift's evolution as an artist and storyteller Why some fans are divided on this album — and what that says about the expectations Taylor sets with each new era How Taylor balances real-life inspiration with fiction and character-driven songwriting What her creative process and relentless work ethic reveal about brand storytelling and reinvention Why Taylor's storytelling genius is as much about community and connection as it is about the music Episode Chapters (00:00) Intro (00:47) Welcome Joanna Weiss (04:24) How the book Taylor Swift: Album by Album came together (07:02) Early takes on Life of a Showgirl (11:04) What makes an “era” — and how Showgirl fits in (19:18) What Taylor's saying with this album (25:23) Her creative process and work ethic (30:37) Money, power, and independence (33:20) The Taylor song that makes Joanna smile About Joanna Weiss Joanna Weiss is the editor of Harvard Magazine, a contributing writer for Politico Magazine, and a former columnist for The Boston Globe. Her work has appeared in The Atlantic, Slate, The Economist, and many other outlets. After chronicling her own Eras Tour experience for Boston's NPR affiliate WBUR, Joanna dove deeper into the Swiftiverse as co-author of Taylor Swift: Album by Album (Quarto Books), which explores each of Taylor's eras in detail. In addition to her journalism career, Joanna fronts a rock band she formed with five fellow moms — a story captured in her Boston Magazine feature “For Those Moms About to Rock,” now optioned for film by 20th Century Studios. What Taylor Era Has Made Joanna Smile Recently? When asked which Taylor song or era makes her smile, Joanna picked “Love Story.” Despite everything that has come since, she still returns to that song for its sheer emotional clarity — a bedroom-written, 20-minute burst of teenage storytelling that still captures the universal thrill of hope, love, and happily-ever-after energy that defines so much of Taylor's work.

Your body can't always tell the difference between a painful memory and a present threat—and that's why a passing thought can hijack your day. We invited educator and creator Larry Hooks to unpack how trauma shapes the nervous system, why triggers feel so immediate, and how simple daily practices can teach your body a safer pattern. From faith-filled self-talk to practical breathwork and boundaries, we map a path out of the loop of alarm toward a steadier, kinder baseline.Larry shares decades of experience exploring neuroplasticity and the metaphysical aspects of healing, pairing them with Scripture and lived wisdom. We talk about reframing identity from victim to overcomer, why perspective changes physiology, and how to challenge intrusive narratives by speaking truth out loud. You'll hear concrete ways to spot whether you need a nap or a reset, why Sabbath is a nervous system skill and not a reward, and how dissociation, anxiety, and anger are protection strategies that can be retrained with patience and consistency.We also get honest about community. Condemnation keeps people stuck; trauma-informed spaces create room for story, listening, and co-regulation. When calm, safe people share the weight of vigilance, your nervous system doesn't have to hold everything alone. If you've wrestled with triggers, doom-thinking, or the guilt of rest, this conversation offers tools that are both spiritual and practical: breath you can count, words you can say, and a lens that helps your body expect good again.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with someone who needs it, and leave a review to help others find it. And if you want Larry's free “Love Story” ebook on learning to love yourself again, check his TikTok (the self-care shoppe) for the email signup.Support the show2 Corinthians 2:14 Now thanks be unto God, who always causes us to Triumph!

Trigger Warning: This conversation includes a deeply personal story shared by André Holland, including a moment when someone he had affections for used a racial slur toward him. Listener discretion is advised. What happens when a core memory rewrites the story of how we see ourselves in love? In this week's LOVERS episode, Shan sits down with actor André Holland to explore the pivotal memory that shaped his belief that he was never “good enough” as himself—and that he had to become someone “better” to be loved. They unpack how these deeply rooted emotional imprints steer our relationships—sometimes helping us, but often holding us back. André's story reveals how early wounds can guide not just who we choose, but how we let love in. Whether you're single, partnered, or somewhere in between, this episode is a powerful guide to: uncovering the underlying stories behind your intimacy rewriting beliefs that no longer serve you opening the door to deeper, more authentic connection

Two years on from the devastating events of October 7, 2023, Gaza lies in ruins and numerous hostages are still held by Hamas. The destruction and losses, both in human terms and to the idea of peace as a possibility has been devastating. Whilst there are glimmers of hope in the latest ceasefire negotiations, it still feels too early to try to answer huge questions about the future of Israel and Palestine. So, on this difficult anniversary I have chosen to showcase the work of Mya Guarnieri, an American-Israeli writer and academic who married a Palestinian and wrote an account of her life across the lines in a moving book.

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITHeadlines can turn a life into a single sentence—until you slow down and hear the human story inside. We open with the Indianapolis alley confrontation involving former NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez: a late-night bar scene, a 69-year-old grease truck driver on shift, an alleged drunken approach, and a sudden escalation that ends with injuries, hospitalization, and charges. We walk through the affidavit details and the hard questions about alcohol, blackout memory, and public accountability, balancing empathy with the reality of harm and consequence.Then the ground shifts: a 26-year-old in the UK thinks she has appendicitis, vomits blood, and gets rushed to the hospital; minutes later, a scan reveals a baby on the way. The ambulance becomes a delivery room, the infant arrives blue, and medics sprint to revive him before mother and child land in NICU with sepsis. We unpack how cryptic pregnancies happen, why even clinicians can be caught off guard, and how emergency teams pivot when diagnostics upend the plan. It's messy, miraculous, and a vivid reminder that not every “obvious” sign is obvious in real time.Finally, we sit with a story the internet thought it knew: a Tennessee woman who fled a violent home as a teen reconnects years later—unknowingly at first—with one of the officers who once searched for her. Their adult relationship sparks viral suspicion, followed by careful clarification of timelines, consent, and the trauma she endured. We talk about reading beyond the comments, respecting survivor agency, and holding space for complicated love.If this mix of tough truths, sharp turns, and honest context resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend, and drop a rating or review.

Transcript:It: Nell'incantevole campagna italiana, le foglie d'autunno si spargevano come un tappeto di colori caldi e vivaci.En: In the enchanting Italian countryside, the autumn leaves spread out like a carpet of warm and vibrant colors.It: Tra il fruscio delle foglie, un'antica porta segreta, nascosta sotto il muschio e le vigne rampicanti, conduceva a un bunker.En: Among the rustling leaves, an ancient secret door, hidden under the moss and creeping vines, led to a bunker.It: Qui, tra quelle mura misteriose, Simone aveva trasformato quel luogo in un rifugio per la sua collezione di vini.En: Here, among those mysterious walls, Simone had transformed that place into a refuge for his wine collection.It: Elisa era una giovane donna dal cuore grande e dalla mente astuta.En: Elisa was a young woman with a big heart and a sharp mind.It: Amava sorprendere Simone, il suo compagno, e per il suo compleanno, desiderava regalargli qualcosa di speciale: un vino vintage raro.En: She loved to surprise Simone, her partner, and for his birthday, she wanted to gift him something special: a rare vintage wine.It: Si mise alla ricerca, visitando cantine e parlando con esperti.En: She set out on a quest, visiting wineries and talking to experts.It: Ogni passo che faceva la avvicinava un po' di più al suo obiettivo, ma il vino che cercava sembrava sfuggente come un sogno.En: Every step she took brought her a little closer to her goal, but the wine she sought seemed as elusive as a dream.It: Un giorno, mentre camminava attraverso i campi dorati dalla luce autunnale, Elisa notò una strana apertura nel terreno, parzialmente nascosta dalle foglie cadute.En: One day, while walking through the fields gilded by the autumn light, Elisa noticed a strange opening in the ground, partially hidden by the fallen leaves.It: Incuriosita, si avvicinò e scoprì la porta del bunker.En: Curious, she approached and discovered the door to the bunker.It: Entrò, ed ecco, davanti ai suoi occhi, il progetto segreto di Simone: un'accogliente cantina, con scaffali in legno e bottiglie antiche che aspettavano pazienti di essere aperte.En: She entered, and there, before her eyes, was Simone's secret project: a cozy wine cellar, with wooden shelves and ancient bottles patiently waiting to be opened.It: Elisa si fermò, il cuore che batteva forte.En: Elisa paused, her heart beating fast.It: Scoprire il progetto di Simone le aveva creato un dilemma.En: Discovering Simone's project had created a dilemma for her.It: Doveva dirgli quello che aveva scoperto o trasformare la sua scoperta in un regalo ancora più speciale?En: Should she tell him what she had found or transform her discovery into an even more special gift?It: Pensò per un momento e decise.En: She thought for a moment and decided.It: Avrebbe aggiunto il suo tocco personale al sogno di Simone, senza rivelare subito la sua scoperta.En: She would add her personal touch to Simone's dream without immediately revealing her discovery.It: Dopo settimane di ricerca intensa, Elisa finalmente trovò il vino perfetto.En: After weeks of intense searching, Elisa finally found the perfect wine.It: La bottiglia brillava sotto la luce soffusa del mattino mentre la teneva tra le mani.En: The bottle glistened in the soft morning light as she held it in her hands.It: Prese un biglietto e con amore scrisse poche parole sincere, poi si diresse felice verso il bunker di Simone.En: She took a card and with love wrote a few heartfelt words, then happily headed towards Simone's bunker.It: Entrata nel sotterraneo, posò la bottiglia e il biglietto su una mensola prominente.En: Once inside the underground space, she placed the bottle and the card on a prominent shelf.It: Con il cuore leggero e un sorriso sul volto, immaginò la sorpresa e la gioia di Simone quando avrebbe trovato il suo regalo.En: With a light heart and a smile on her face, she imagined Simone's surprise and joy when he would find her gift.It: Quando Simone entrò nel bunker il giorno del suo compleanno, notò subito il nuovo arrivo.En: When Simone entered the bunker on his birthday, he immediately noticed the new arrival.It: La bottiglia era lì, una meraviglia centrata nel suo rifugio segreto.En: The bottle was there, a marvel centered in his secret refuge.It: Aprì il biglietto e lesse le parole calorose che Elisa aveva scritto.En: He opened the card and read the warm words that Elisa had written.It: Capì che lei sapeva del bunker e del suo progetto, ma il suo gesto gli mostrava quanto lo supportasse.En: He understood that she knew about the bunker and his project, but her gesture showed him how much she supported him.It: Simone, emozionato, corse fuori dal bunker.En: Simone, emotional, ran out of the bunker.It: Trovò Elisa che lo aspettava tra gli alberi dorati.En: He found Elisa waiting for him among the golden trees.It: La prese tra le braccia, sussurrandole quanto la amasse, mentre nei loro occhi brillava la consapevolezza che l'aver condiviso un segreto aveva reso il loro legame ancora più forte.En: He pulled her into his arms, whispering to her how much he loved her, while in their eyes shone the awareness that sharing a secret had made their bond even stronger.It: I due, abbracciati nel paesaggio autunnale, capirono che i segreti potevano essere dolci sorprese, e che condividerli arricchiva la loro vita comune.En: The two, embraced in the autumn landscape, realized that secrets could be sweet surprises and that sharing them enriched their shared life.It: Il bunker, un tempo simbolo di un progetto personale, divenne un luogo di ricordi condivisi e di nuovi inizi.En: The bunker, once a symbol of a personal project, became a place of shared memories and new beginnings.

The Trail to Tincup: Love Stories at Life's End by Joyce Lynnette Hocker https://www.amazon.com/Trail-Tincup-Love-Stories-Lifes/dp/1631523414 In The Trail to Tincup: Love Stories at Life's End, a psychologist reckons with the loss of four family members within a span of two years. Hocker works backward into the lives of these people and forward into the values, perspective, and qualities they bestowed before and after leaving. Following the trail to their common gravesite in Tincup, Colorado, she remembers and recounts decisive stories and delves into artifacts, journals, and her own dreams. In the process the grip of grief begins to lessen, death braids its way into life, and life informs the losses with abiding connections. Gradually, she begins to find herself capable of imagining life without her sister and best friend. Toward the end of the book Hocker's own near-death experience illuminates how familiarity with her individual mortality helps her live with joy, confidence, and openness.

For the 227th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes the co-editors of the new anthology Gray Love: Stories About Dating and New Relationships After 60, Nan Bauer-Maglin & Daniel E. Hood—and spoiler alert: they don't just “work well together,” they're an IRL couple! Often, the dating stories we hear are from younger people, but the quest for love and sex doesn't have an expiration date—and depending on how things shake out, you might find yourself back on the dating scene way later than you expected. Senior singles make up one of the fastest-growing demographics in online dating, and they're writing a third act for themselves that previous generations could never have imagined. For some, it even brings the best sex of their lives.  Though, of course, dating and relationships come with a different set of circumstances later in life. We are going to get into all the nuances with today's guests, including dealing with death, ghosts in the bed, living apart together (incorrectly referred to as “living alone together” during the interview—our apologies!), and more. Plus, we talk about the pros and cons of becoming a parent after 40 and the preferred terminology of “older people” or older adults” versus “old,” “elderly,” or, god forbid, “geriatric.” For more from today's guests, Nan Bauer-Maglin & Daniel E.

If you could take a test that told you who your soulmate was, would you do it? Would you trust it? That's the premise of the new movie “All of You,” starring and written by English actor Brett Goldstein (best known for his role as Roy Kent on “Ted Lasso”). Set in the near future, the story follows two best friends who are torn apart when one takes the test and the other won't. Brett joins Tom Power to talk about whether love can really be measured by an algorithm, plus, the moment he knew “Ted Lasso” had changed his life.
