Podcasts about maisha

Every great hero—and every great villain—has an origin story that shapes their future. But what happens when yours is filled with broken cycles, trauma, or habits you desperately want to break?In this message from our series The Refining, Pastor Mark looks at the generational drama of Joseph in Genesis to unpack a powerful truth: true spiritual health requires us to confront our past. You don't have to live by the script handed down to you. It's time to step into a new, supernatural identity and become who you were actually created to be.CONTENT REFERENCES:Theo Von Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CihTN2GQymcMark Manson Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfiBDuUVc-A&t=314s**********

Have you ever needed someone to just meet you where you are in life, and just listen to you? It's commonly called "sitting in the mud" with someone. Pastor Dalton talks about the importance of sitting with people and REALLY seeing them for who they are. Not some kind of project, or category, or just an audience to speak at, but a real person to be present with. We would love for you to journey with us as we unpack this together!**********

What do you do when the unimaginable happens? When you lose everything you love, is it possible to find "treasure" in the wreckage of grief?Pastor Mark sits down with Tammy, a long-time friend of Lux Digital Church, to discuss one of the most difficult chapters of Emotionally Healthy Discipleship: Finding Treasure in Grief and Loss. Tammy shares her raw and powerful story of losing two children—her son, Matthew, and nine years later, her daughter, Alex. We often hear that "everything happens for a reason," but the reality of grief is far more complex. Tammy talks about how the supernatural presence of God sustains us when we should be defeated—and how God can transform even our deepest tragedies into a platform for His grace.**********

Welcome to Episode #149 of the Blue-in-Green:PODCAST which this week sees Imran reconnect with London-based drummer, percussionist and band leader, Tim Doyle. As a key component to leading ensembles including Maisha, Cykada, Your Brother's Keeper and Uniri, Tim leads the charge for progressive and club-centric jazz and electronic fusion most aptly through his NRG series. A boundlessly-talented and versatile artist, Tim has consistently cultivated unhindered perspectives for his music that place the emphasis on the energy born of improvisation and collaboration. Now celebrating the fifth instalment of Chiminyo's NRG series, Tim joins us from his current tour to discuss the NRG series, the ideals of improvisation, life as an independent musician plus the upcoming Your Brother's Keeper project with Gary Bartz.

If you spend a lot of time gaming, grinding, or leveling up your career but still feel like you're hitting an invisible ceiling, this video is for you. We often think the answer to every problem is to just "push harder," but what if the limits you're fighting are actually meant to form you? In this talk, Pastor Andy explores the vital difference between the resistance that strengthens us and the ceilings that define us. Drawing from Genesis and Peter Scazzero's Emotionally Healthy Discipleship, we look at why surrendering to our limits is actually an acknowledgement that we are not God. **********

Is it possible to be spiritually mature but emotionally immature? In this message, Pastor Mark dives into the core of our new series, "The Refining," exploring the deep connection between our spiritual lives and our emotional well-being.For years, many have tried to replace genuine emotional health with more spiritual activity—praying more, reading more, or joining more small groups—hoping it will fix the messiness of our relationships and internal anxiety. But the truth is, spiritual activity is not a substitute for emotional maturity; they must work hand in hand.TIMESTAMPS0:00 - Welcome to Lux Digital Church2:52 - Part 2 of "The Refining" Series4:12 - True Spiritual Health = Deep Emotional Health7:10 - Why Spiritual Activity Can't Replace Emotional Maturity12:50 - The "Tex-Mex" Jesus Illustration19:21 - Americanized Jesus vs. The Crucified Jesus26:32 - Taking Up Your Cross**********

Maisha ya wakimbizi katika eneo la Kakuma, kaskazini mwa Kenya, yanaanza kubadilika kwa kasi kupitia miradi ya kilimo na lishe inayowezeshwa na mashirika ya Umoja wa Mataifa likiwemo lile la Mpango wa Chakula Duniani  (WFP) na la Chakula na Kilimo (FAO). Kwa ushirikiano na Serikali ya Kaunti ya Turkana chini ya ufadhili wa  Muungano wa Ulaya (EU) sasa wakimbizi wana uwezo wa kuzalisha chakula chao wenyewe, kuboresha lishe, na kujenga maisha ya kujitegemea. Feissal Kirwa anasimulia.

Hii leo jaridani tunaangazia sitisho la mapigano katika Mashariki ya kati, kilimo endelevu kinachowakwamua wakimbizi na wenyeji Kakuma nchini Kenya, na mafunzo ya UNDP ya uchimbaji salama wa madini ya ujenzi nchini Tanzania.Umoja wa Mataifa umekaribisha tangazo la Rais wa Marekani Donald Trump la kuongeza muda wa sitisho la mapigano kati ya Marekani na Iran, ukisema hiyo ni hatua muhimu kuelekea kupunguza mvutano kati ya mataifa hayo mawili.Maisha ya wakimbizi katika eneo la Kakuma, kaskazini mwa Kenya, yanaanza kubadilika kwa kasi kupitia miradi ya kilimo na lishe inayowezeshwa na mashirika ya Umoja wa Mataifa likiwemo lile la Mpango wa Chakula Duniani  (WFP) na la Chakula na Kilimo (FAO).

Mafunzo hayo yamelenga kuimarisha ujuzi wa uchimbaji salama, unaozingatia sheria, na wenye faida kwa wanawake na vijana wanaojihusisha na uchimbaji mdogo wa madini ya ujenzi.Mwenyeji wako ni Anold Kayanda, karibu!

What if the things you use to protect yourself are actually the very things hurting you and the people you love? In a world that tells you to "be yourself," and a church that tells you to "die to yourself," which path is the right one?In the premiere of our new series, The Refining, guest speaker Zach (Saint Bear) dives into the messy intersection of spiritual formation and emotional health. Using a "Nerd-egesis" that bridges the gap between D&D logic and the core emotions of Inside Out 2, Zach explores the biblical concept of the "True Self" versus the "False Self".In this video, we discuss:The False Dichotomy: Why the Bible doesn't call you to die to the person God made you to be, but rather to the "false self" you built to protect yourself.Masterpiece vs. Junk: Unpacking the Greek word poema in Ephesians 2:10: you are God's intentional craftsmanship.The Inside Out Effect: How core beliefs like "I'm only loved if I perform" create protective mechanisms that eventually start "breathing fire" on your life.Being Before Doing: Why God is more concerned with who you are becoming than what you are doing.The invitation of the Gospel isn't just to work harder; it's to discover your true self by discovering God.TIMESTAMPS0:00 — Welcome back to the Fancy Couch: Intro to "The Refining" 2:03 — A Lux Milestone: Introducing Guest Preacher Zach (St Bear) 5:10 — The D20 Roll: Setting expectations for the message 6:35 — The Culture War: "Be Yourself" vs. "Die to Yourself" 8:00 — Key Statement: Be with God, become who you are meant to be 10:30 — The False Self: Unpacking Ephesians 4:22 11:40 — You are a Poema: God's intentional craftsmanship 13:50 — Nerd-egesis: Core beliefs and Inside Out 2 15:50 — When protective mechanisms start "breathing fire"**********

Life is not a full stop. It's a comma.But for many men, it doesn't always feel that way.In this episode of Men Men Men, we sit down with Sebastian Mwaikambo for a deep and honest conversation about masculinity, emotional pressure, and the silent battles men face every day. From his journey in media to leadership and now marketing, Sebastian brings a unique perspective on what it means to be a man in today's world.Together with psychologist Nadia, we go beyond surface-level conversations and explore the mental and emotional realities of men,  the pressure to stay strong, the fear of vulnerability, and the difference between being emotionally in control and emotionally shut down.This episode asks difficult but necessary questions: What do men do with what they feel? Who do they turn to when things are not okay? And at what point does silence become dangerous?Because sometimes, what looks like strength… is just survival.This is a conversation about identity, healing, and the courage to continue  even when life feels like it's coming to an end.Because maisha siyo nukta.Ni koma.

Have you ever felt like your spiritual life was just a pile of cold ashes? Maybe you are dragging yourself into church because it's what you "should" do, or you're feeling completely burnt out by work and the chaos of life. We often think Easter is a closed book once the resurrection is over, but for the followers of Jesus, it was actually the start of a brand new story.In the conclusion of our Ash and Ember event, Pastor Mark shares a powerful story about the hidden warmth beneath the surface. Just like the embers from a campfire can be reignited with a simple breath, Jesus wants to move past "saving" you to truly igniting your heart again.**********

In this special kickoff to our Ash and Ember holiday event, Pastor Mark explores the first half of the Easter story: a story where everything that could go wrong, did. We often focus on the victory of the resurrection, but we cannot truly appreciate the "ember" without first walking through the "ash" of Gethsemane and the betrayal of the disciples.In this video, we discuss:- The Triumphal Entry Misunderstanding: Why the religious leaders, the crowds, and the Romans all missed who Jesus really was. -The Last Supper Gut Punch: The moment Jesus revealed that his own inner circle: his most loyal companions: would be the ones to betray and desert him.- The "Ash" of Betrayal: Why the loyalty of the disciples burned up just when it mattered most.Timestamps0:00 — Welcome to the Lux On-Demand Family 2:18 — Introducing "Ash and Ember": Our first seasonal holiday event 3:34 — The "Plague of Appliances": When everything breaks at once 4:55 — When life falls apart: Grief, loss, and broken relationships6:37 — The "Ash" of the Easter Story: The part we often skip 7:20 — Palm Sunday: The 10,000 foot view of the Triumphal Entry 8:00 — Three groups of people who completely misunderstood Jesus 10:24 — The Last Supper: A sacred meal turned upside down11:35 — "One of you will betray me": The first sign of the fire13:00 — The desertion of the 12: Why loyalty isn't always enough14:46 — Moving toward Gethsemane: Entering the olive grove**********

Vita vya Mashariki ya Kati vimeingia mwezi wa pili huku ghasia zikiongezeka katika maeneo kadhaa, ikiwemo Lebanon, Iran na Ghuba. Mlinzi wa amani wa Kikosi cha Mpito cha Umoja wa Mataifa nchini Lebanon UNIFIL ameuawa baada ya kombora kulipuka katika kituo cha Umoja wa Mataifa karibu na Adchit Al Qusayr, huku mwingine akiwa mahtuti hospitali.

Are you playing it safe in the "plains" of your life while God is calling you to take the mountains? Most of us are content with just enough peace and just enough comfort to get by: but God has an inheritance waiting for you that requires a climb.In our 5th birthday message, Pastor Mark lays out the vision for what's to come next at Lux Digital Church. Drawing from the story of Caleb in Joshua 14, we explore what it means to keep the same "fire in your bones" at year five as you had on day one.**********

Pastor Dalton and Pastor Andy close out our series on spiritual formation with a Q&A! They answer questions submitted by YOU, the community and church body here at Lux. While there are a limited number of questions that we answered in this video, the conversation doesn't end here. We have a growing Discord that is alive and active, and it's full of people who are seeking answers. So if you have questions of your own, feel free to comment below, or join our Discord to discuss it directly with the pastors there!**********

Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Mpango wa Chakula Duniani (WFP) na wadau wake chini ya mpango Kilimo na Msaada wa Masoko (AMS), vijana nchini Uganda wamepata mafunzo ya vitendo kuhusu mbinu za kisasa za ufugaji nyuki. Mafunzo hayo yamewasaidia kukimu mahitaji yao kupitia uzalishaji wa asali. Feissal Kirwa anaangazia simulizi ya kijana mmoja mnufaika wa mradi huo.

What do you do when the people who are supposed to love you most are the ones who let you down? Nathan Artt grew up in the middle of chaos: suffering through family substance abuse, physical violence, and eventually being abandoned by both parents by the time he was 17. Despite holding scoring records on the basketball court and a 4.0 GPA, he was "passionately against" the idea of religion.In week 5 of The Crucible, Pastor Mark welcomes his friend Nathan Artt (Ministry Solutions Group) to share his testimony at Lux Digital Church. This isn't just a story about "refrigerator awards" and Ivy League offers: it is a raw look at how God works uniquely through our suffering to form something new**********

We often think that if we follow the "rules" of faith: reading our Bibles, praying, and serving, that God owes us a comfortable life. We want a boss who pays us for our work, not a God who transforms us through our trials. But what if suffering isn't just a hurdle to get over, but a vital part of your spiritual formation?In part four of "The Crucible", Pastor Mark explores the redemptive power of suffering. Drawing from the lives of the Apostle Paul, James, and Brother Lawrence, we look at how God uses discomfort to develop a strength of character that cannot be found anywhere else.**********

Do you ever feel like your brain is a "surprise encounter" in an RPG? You finally sit down to pray or be still, and within 15 seconds, your mind is bombarded by anxiety, distractions, or a "to-do" list that feels like a final boss. Spiritual formation isn't about having a perfectly silent mind: it is about having a redirected one.- The "Lev" Command Center: Why the Biblical word for "heart" actually refers to your inner monologue and how to guard it.- Fighting Lavos: Identifying the "proud obstacles" and strongholds that set themselves up against the truth of God in your mind.- The Art of the "Rep": Why a wandering mind isn't a failure, but an opportunity to train your "return" to God's presence.- The 3-Breath Return: A practical, 30-second tool to Acknowledge, Release, and Receive God's peace in the middle of your busiest day.Stop "button mashing" through your spiritual life and feeling like a fraud. Formation happens when we abide: and abiding starts with taking your thoughts captive.**********

"Hakuna maisha ya baadaye! Siyaoni maisha ya baadaye kwani sioni wanaoshikamana nasi!" Hayo ni sehemu tu ya maoni ya watoto walioko Ukanda wa Gaza, eneo la Palestina linalokaliwa kimabavu na Israeli wakati huu ambapo makombora yanaendelea kurindima, mustakabali wao uko mashakani, na wanachohitaji kama inawezekana ni amani na ujenzi mpya wa makazi ili waweze kurejea katika maisha ya kawaida ndani ya nyumba zao na kuacha kuishi kama wakimbizi katika ardhi yao wenyewe. Rashid Malekela anatupeleka kwenye makazi yao huko Gaza! 

Are you satisfied with just "checking the boxes" of your faith, or do you long for something deeper?In Part 2 of our series, The Crucible, Pastor Mark explores the difference between being merely "shaped" by religious habits and being completely "melted down" and transformed by the presence of God. Spiritual formation isn't about sin management—it's about your time in God's presence changing you at the deepest level.

Are you tired of treating your faith like a "grind" in an RPG? We often approach spiritual disciplines like we are trying to level up a skill tree: if we just read enough, pray enough, or "do" enough, then we will finally be "good Christians." But what if the point of your faith isn't the destination, but the doorway?In the kickoff of our new series, The Crucible, Pastor Druzi explores the shift from performing spiritual disciplines to experiencing spiritual formation. This is part of our Year of the Forge journey: moving from the "what" of our faith to the "how" of being changed by God's presence.In this video:

Katika maeneo ya migogoro, redio huwa nguzo ya utulivu. Mathalani Mashariki mwa Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Congo DRC, Radio Okapi ya Umoja wa Mataifa imekuwa sauti ya kuaminika na kuwasaidia wakimbizi kusaka usalama tangu kuanzishwa kwake mwaka 2002 kama sehemu ya ujumbe wa kulinda amani wa Umoja wa Mataifa nchini humo MONUSCO. Mmoja wa wakimbizi kutoka Mashariki mwa DRC ambaye sasa anaishi kambi ya wakimbizi ya Kyangwali nchini Uganda amemweleza John Kibego kutoka Redio washirika wetu Kazi Njema FM ya mjini Hoima jinsi matangazo ya redio Okapi yalivyonusuru maisha yake wakati wa vita

Hii leo jaridani Anold Kayanda wa Idhaa hii amezungumza na Wakili Amon Mpanju, Naibu Katibu Mkuu wa Wizara ya Maendeleo ya Jamii, Jinsia, Wanawake na Makundi Maalum kutoka Tanzania aliyehudhuria Mkutano wa Kamisheni ya Maendeleo ya Kijamii (CSocD64).Mashirika ya kibinadamu ya Umoja wa Mataifa leo yametoa onyo kali kuhusu hali mbaya ya kibinadamu inayowakumba watoto nchini Sudan. Mashirika hayo lile la kuhudumia watoto UNICEF, la afya WHO na Ofisi ya Umoja wa Mataifa ya Haki za Binadamu wamenasema ghasia zisizoisha, njaa na magonjwa vinawasababisha watoto kupoteza Maisha na kudhoofika, huku mashambulizi dhidi ya vituo vya afya na vikwazo vya upatikanaji wa misaada vikizorotesha juhudi za kuwaokoa. Akizungumza na waandishi wa habari mjini Geneva, msemaji wa UNICEF, Ricardo Pires, amesema “Katika baadhi ya maeneo ya jimbo la Darfur Kaskazini, zaidi ya nusu ya watoto wote wanakabiliwa na utapiamlo mkali, si makadirio, si mfano, imethibitishwa.”.Kikosi cha 12 cha Ulinzi wa Amani kutoka Tanzania TANZBAT 12 kinachohusumu nchini Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Condo DRC chini ya mpango wa Umoja wa Mataifa nchini humo MONUSCO kimeendelea kudumisha uhusiano wa kijamii na wakazi wa mji wa Beni Mashariki mwa DRC, kwa kutoa msaada wa vifaa vya elimu kwa wanafunzi katika shule ya msingi Ngite iliyopo eneo la Mavivi. Mkuu wa shule hiyo Neema Nyamwaka amewashukuru walinada amani hao kutoka Tanzania kwa kujali sekta ya elimu.Leo ni siku ya mikunde duniani Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la chakula na kilimo FAO likisistiza umuhimu kwa chakula hicho kwa lishe na mazingira.

Mabadiliko ya mfumo wa maisha na mazingira yanaweza kuzuia ugonjwa wa saratani kwa wagonjwa wanne katika kila wagonjwa kumi, limesema shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la afya duniani, (WHO) na shirika lake tangu la Utafiti kuhusu saratani, IARC kama anavyoripoti Rashid Malekela.

Life works in strange ways. Sometimes adversity doesn't just test us, it completely reshapes how we see ourselves, our purpose, and what's possible.In this episode, we sit down with Hussein Ally Hussein, a man whose life story challenges everything we think we know about limitation and resilience. Hussein was born with sight, lost it, and later regained it but his journey didn't stop there. Along the way, he had to completely relearn how to navigate the world, transforming from a “typical” learning path to relying on Braille throughout his academic life.From being publicly doubted by his own teacher, to battling dyslexia, to losing opportunities simply because of his disability, Hussein has faced rejection, frustration, and moments that could have easily broken his spirit. Yet, in a powerful twist, the very challenges that once held him back became the catalyst for his growth, his success, and his mission. Today, he is creating space, opportunity, and visibility for others who share similar experiences.Hussein's story is a masterclass in resilience. The kind most men are called to develop. It reminds us that the obstacles we face are not signs to stop, but signals to adapt, push harder, and redefine our path forward.Brothers, this is not a story of sympathy or pity. This is a real conversation about determination, grit, and the inner drive required to take the first steps toward building something meaningful, no matter the odds.

Sudan inakabiliana na viwango vya hatari vya njaa, ambapo mamilioni ya watoto kama Noon wako katika hatari kubwa. Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kuhudumia watoto (UNICEF) liko shambani, likitoa msaada muhimu wa lishe, maji safi, na ulinzi. Hata hivyo, mahitaji ni makubwa, na msaada zaidi unahitajika haraka ili kuokoa maisha ya watoto hawa. Sheilah Jepngetich na taarifa zaidi

Why do we avoid one of the spiritual disciplines Jesus assumed we'd actually do? In Part 3 of our series on Spiritual Disciplines, Pastor Mark is joined by Dr. Chris Marshall to discuss fasting. For many of us, fasting feels "old-timey," overwhelming, or even like "works righteousness," but it's actually a powerful rhythm designed to sharpen our hunger for God. Whether you are a seasoned believer or just starting your faith journey, this conversation explores how to move from physical hunger to spiritual fullness.

Uharibifu Mkubwa uliosalia Gaza baada ya vita baina ya Israel na Hamas kusitishwa uko bayana katika kila kona ya jiji hilo majengo yaliyoporomoka, vyuma vililivyotapakaa kila mahali, na vitongoji vilivyogeuka kuwa vifusi.

Welcome to our first service of 2026! We are kicking off a brand-new year-long emphasis at Lux Digital Church: The Year of the Forge.If you are starting this year with the "Planet Fitness" mindset—full of good intentions but easily distracted by life's "chili cheese dogs"—this message is for you. Following Jesus is simple, but it is not easy. Too often, we treat reading the Bible as a religious chore rather than a life-altering rhythm.In the series premiere of "The Core," Pastor Mark breaks down how your spiritual core determines the quality of your life. We aren't looking for religious check-boxing; we are looking for healthy spiritual rhythms that bring about genuine transformation.*****4 Perspective Shifts for your Bible study:1️⃣ Read for Relationship: The Scriptures aren't a divine info-dump; they point to a relationship with a living God.2️⃣ Read for Formation: Just like the gym, the Bible forms you over the long haul, not through a one-time "quick fix".3️⃣ Read for Resistance: We need the Word to counteract the billions of dollars spent trying to press us into the world's mold.4️⃣ Read for Knowing: Moving from knowing about God to recognizing the voice of the Shepherd.*****

Pastor Dalton is joined this week by lots of guests from our community here at Lux. We get to hear from several of our small group leaders about the importance of being in community, and how small groups have impacted their lives. We weren't meant to do life alone, so let's see what life can look like when we walk through it together. *****

The focus on symptom management and quality of life is a key aspect of helping these patients. But how many of us are comfortable starting the conversation about palliative care or care at the end of life? Today we have the opportunity to speak with a leading expert on neuropalliative care, Dr Maisha Robinson, about how we can better integrate neuropalliative care into our practices. Dr Jones: This is Dr Lyell Jones, Editor-in-Chief of Continuum. Thank you for listening to Continuum Audio. Be sure to visit the links in the episode notes for information about subscribing to the journal, listening to verbatim recordings of the articles, and exclusive access to interviews not featured on the podcast. Dr Jones: This is Dr Lyell Jones, Editor-in-Chief of Continuum: Lifelong Learning in Neurology. Today I'm interviewing Dr Maisha Robinson, who is Continuum's Guest Editor for our latest issue of Continuum on neuropalliative care, and our first-ever issue fully dedicated to this topic. Dr Robinson is an assistant professor of neurology at Mayo Clinic in Florida, where she is Chair of the Division of Palliative Medicine, and she also serves on the AAN Board of Directors as Chair of the Member Engagement Committee. Dr Robinson, welcome. Thank you for joining us today. Why don't you introduce yourself to our listeners? Dr Robinson: Well, Dr Jones, thank you for having me. Really a pleasure to be here. I'm Maisha Robinson at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida. I spent my time as a neurohospitalist, a general palliative care physician, and a neuropalliative care physician. Dr Jones: So, this is a topic that at Continuum, we have heard about from subscribers for a long time requesting a fully dedicated issue to palliative care. And we've titled this neuropalliative Care. So, we want to respond to our subscribers and bring them content that they're interested in. I also think that palliative medicine is a big education gap in our specialty of neurology and something that we have room to improve on. So, let's start with the basics, Dr Robinson. Palliative medicine has been around for a long time, but this concept of "neuropalliative care" feels relatively new. What is neuropalliative care? Dr Robinson: That's a great question. Generally, what I would say is palliative care, first of all, is really just a specialty that focuses on trying to improve quality of life for people that have a serious or advanced medical condition. And neuropalliative care is really palliative care for people with neurologic conditions. And you'll see a number of neurologists doing neuropalliative care, but also there are internists as well, and people from other specialties, who focus on patients with neurologic disease and really trying to improve their quality of life. Dr Jones: Got it. And so, it's really the principles of palliative medicine in a specialty-specific context, which I think is important for us given the prevalence of chronic disease in our specialty. And I was obviously reading through these articles in this issue, and in the really wonderful articles, there are some themes that came up multiple times in various different articles. And one of them was obviously the importance of communication with patients and families. I think, and I'm speaking a little bit from personal experience here, many physicians feel uncomfortable bringing up the discussion of palliative care. And I'm sure that is something that reflects on your practice, too. How often do you have a patient who shows up to clinic and they ask you, why am I here? Dr Robinson: It happens all the time, because colleagues who are referring patients are nervous to tell them that they're sending them to palliative care. But we try to tell people it's really just to normalize it, to say that the palliative care team is going to see you, they're going to help with some symptoms, they're going to help you think about big picture, and they're going to be sort of an added layer of support to your team. And I think if people approach it from that standpoint, then patients and family members will say, that sounds great, I need a little extra support. Dr Jones: So, I think most neurologists have a threshold at which they would feel more comfortable having specialty support, having a palliative medicine specialist to help them in symptom management with the patient. For the palliative care that they provide themselves---and we want our subscribers to read this issue and feel more comfortable with delivering some palliative care on their own---how would you encourage them to begin that conversation? How should they initiate that conversation with a patient about working more toward palliative management of symptoms? Dr Robinson: So, one of the things we recommend is really introducing an approach to palliative care very early in the disease process. So, discussions about big picture and goals of care, discussions about who might help make medical decisions if the person can't make them for themselves. Those kinds of things can be discussed very early on. And in fact, that's palliative care. And then they can talk to patients more about the fact that as the disease progresses, there may be an additional team that can help walk along alongside the neurologist in helping you prepare for what's to come. You know, I think it's very important for patients and family members who feel like you're not abandoning them, but you're adding additional resources. And so, I like the way that we often will suggest to people to say partner or collaborate or bring in extra resources with the palliative care team. I think patients and family members will respond to that. Dr Jones: Yeah. So, by talking about it early, you kind of, at least, help to avoid that problem of the patient perceiving the introduction of palliative care as the quote-unquote "giving-up problem." Is that right? Dr Robinson: Correct. Because we also don't want to see people who are just being referred to us for end-of-life care. Palliative care is about much more than that. But if patients will Google palliative care, they may see hospice come up. And so, introducing the concept early and discussing some palliative topics early will allow the patient and family members to think that, okay, this isn't because I'm at the end of life. This is just because my clinician wants to make sure that I have all the bases covered. Dr Jones: This was also mentioned in several of the articles, the studies that have shown how frequently palliative care is initiated very near the end of life, which is usually, I think, perceived as a missed opportunity, right? To not wait so long to take advantage of what palliative care has to offer. Dr Robinson: That's correct. And the benefit of palliative care is that oftentimes we work alongside an interdisciplinary team, a team that could be quite helpful to patients and their support systems throughout the course of the disease. So, we have chaplains, we have nurses, we often have other clinicians, advanced practice providers as well, who work with us. We have spiritual advisors as well. And the patients and family members could benefit from some of those resources throughout the course of the disease. Who they might need to meet with may vary depending on what the disease is and how they're doing. But there's definitely some benefit to having a longitudinal relationship with the palliative care team and not just seeking them out at the end of life. Dr Jones: So- that's very helpful. So, it'll obviously vary according to an individual provider's level of comfort, right, where they're comfortable providing certain palliative management care versus when they need to have some assistance from a specialist. Are there types of care or are there certain thresholds that you say, wow, this patient really should go see a specialist in palliative medicine or neuropalliative care? Dr Robinson: So, I think that if there are, for instance, refractory symptoms, where the neurologist has been working with a patient for a while trying to manage certain symptoms and they're having some challenges, that person may benefit from being referred to palliative care. If patients are being hospitalized multiple times and frequently, that may suggest that a good serious-illness conversation may be necessary. If there are concerns about long-term artificial nutrition, hydration, or functional and cognitive decline, then some of those patients have benefited from palliative care. Not only the patient, but also the caregiver, because our team really focuses on trying to make sure that we're walking through the course of disease with these patients to ensure that all of the needs are managed both for the patient and the family member. Dr Jones: Got it. And that's very helpful. And I know that we talk about a lot of these decisions happening in an ideal environment when there's good access to the neurologist and good access to a palliative medicine specialist or even a neuropalliative medicine expert. In your general sense, I- and maybe we'll talk a little bit here in a minute or two about the growing interest in neuropalliative care. But in terms of access, in terms of availability of really, truly neuropalliative expertise, what is your sense of how widely available that is in the US? Dr Robinson: There's a shortfall of palliative care clinicians in the United States. Everybody who needs a palliative care clinician won't have access to one. And I think your point about the primary palliative care is so important. That's really what we encourage all clinicians, neurologists, neurosurgeons, even, physiatrists, the neurology care team members need to be comfortable with at least initiating some of these conversations. Because, to your point, not everyone's going to have access to a palliative care physician. But by reading issues such as this one, attending some courses---for instance at the American Academy of Neurology meetings---, doing some online trainings, those types of things can be helpful to bring any neurology clinician up to speed who certainly may not have access to a palliative care physician. Dr Jones: So, I know---and this is in part from my own conversations with patients in my own practice---there are a number of fears that patients have when they have a chronic disease, something that's progressive or something that we don't have a curative treatment for. But I think one of, if not the most common fear among patients is pain, and pain that can't be managed adequately during the course of chronic illness or at the end of life. One of the interesting concepts that I saw mentioned in a few of the articles in this issue is this concept of total pain. So, not just the somatic pain that I think we tend to think of as clinicians and patients tend to think of as patients, but a more holistic definition of pain. Walk us through that and how that relates to palliative medicine. Dr Robinson: So, Dame Cicely Saunders, the modern-day founder of palliative medicine, really described this biopsychosocial model for pain. And so, you're right, it's not just physical pain, but it's psychological pain, it's spiritual pain. And oftentimes when we are taking care of patients with neurologic disease, they may have some physical pain, but a lot of them are thinking about, for instance, the things that they will miss, which may cause some internal discomfort. Things that they're grieving, the life they thought they were going to have, the person that they used to be, the life they used to have, and what they anticipated their life as being. And some of that can cause people to have not only the spiritual discomfort, but also some psychological discomfort as well. And so, when we're thinking about how to provide rehensive care to these patients, we have to be thinking about all of these aspects. Dr Jones: It's really helpful. And I guess the more you can identify those, the more you can either help yourself or find the right expert to help the patient. I thought that was an interesting expansion of, of my view of how to think about pain. And another observation that came up in several of the articles was a lack of high-quality clinical trial evidence to inform a lot of the interventions in neuropalliative care. Some of them are common-sense, some of them are based on clinical experience or expert advice. In your own practice, if there was one key knowledge gap to close---in other words, if there was one pivotal trial that we could do to answer one question in helping patients with chronic neurologic disease---what would you say is the main gap? Dr Robinson: I think the real gap is, who needs palliative care and when? That seems very simple. We have tried things such as automatic triggers for palliative care, for instance, in patients with ALS, or we've said that maybe all glioblastoma patients should see palliative care. But is that true? Are we utilizing the resources in the best possible way that we can? We're not sure. And so, you'll see these practices doing things all a little bit different because we don't have a best practice and it's not really standardized about when people should see palliative care, or why, for instance, they should see palliative care, or who should see palliative care. And I think if we could help drill that down, we can provide some better guidance to our colleagues about when and why and who should see palliative care. Dr Jones: It's a really kind of a fundamental, foundational, who needs the service to begin with or who needs to care. Okay, that's- that is a big gap. So, one of the interesting concepts that I read- and it was in Benzi Kluger's article on neuropalliative care for patients who have movement disorders. I think it's a concept that is interesting, really, maybe in the management of patients with a lot of different chronic, progressive neurologic diseases. And it's this idea of stealing victories or bringing joy to patients. In other words, not just managing or trying to minimize some of the negative aspects or symptoms of disease, but looking for opportunities to bring something positive to their experience or improving their quality of life. Tell us a little more about that, because I think that's something patients would appreciate, but I think neurologists would appreciate that, too. Dr Robinson: Dr Kluger loves to talk about sustaining and finding joy in patients who have really serious or advanced neurologic conditions. He likes to talk about stealing victories, which can relate to the fact that patients and their loved ones can find even some benefit despite having a serious or advanced neurologic condition. Neurologists and neurology clinicians also can steal victories in their patients when they notice, for instance, that they've gained a new skill, and they've lost a skill that they used to love because of the advancing disease. And this is just an opportunity for not only the patients and family members, but also the care providers to recognize that in the midst of decline, there are positive things to be found. Dr Jones: I think it gives patients a sense of maybe reclaimed autonomy when they can say, well, there's maybe nothing I can do to cure this disease in the conventional sense, but I can maybe go on this trip with my family, which has been something I've always wanted to do. Or, I can do these things, so I can attend certain events that I want to. And I think that autonomy and independence aspect of that, I think that I think that was really meaningful and something that I'm going to bring back to my own practice in my care of patients who have ALS, for example. When you think about neuropalliative care---and you've been a leader in this area, Dr Robinson---what do you think the biggest change in neuropalliative care has been over the last few years? Dr Robinson: I think there's a growing cohort of people who are recognizing that there is some benefit in having dedicated specialists who focus on palliative care for patients with neurologic disease. When I said I was going to do neuropalliative care, somebody asked me, why would a neurologist be interested in palliative care? Over the last decade and a half, we've seen that shift. And not only are our colleagues recognizing the benefit, but also patients and caregivers are. Some are even asking for palliative care. I think people are recognizing that not only having their primary neurologist or neurology clinician taking care of them, they have this extra layer of support, and this extra team really focused on quality-of-life issues can be beneficial. Dr Jones: So, one of the things that I think you and I have both seen, Dr Robinson, is a growing interest among neurology trainees in palliative medicine. And maybe that's anecdotal, but in my own practice, I've seen more and more trainees express an interest in this. For neurology residents who are interested in this as a component of or maybe a focus of their career, what would you recommend to them? How should they go about this? Dr Robinson: Yes, it used to be that every neurology resident interested in palliative care would call me or email me or send me a message, but now there are so many that I can't keep up. We're excited about the growing number of people interested in neuropalliative care. What I would say to those people is that you can really try to hone your skills by, for instance, doing a rotation with the palliative care team at your hospital, if there is one. If there isn't one, you might even ask to spend some time with the local hospice agency, which may be helpful to you. If you're attending some of the national meetings---for instance, the American Academy of Neurology meeting---you may want to go to a course and learn a little bit about palliative care. There are a couple that are offered every year. There is an education opportunity for education in palliative and end-of-life care as well. And so, there are a number of resources that you can find in addition to this issue of Continuum as well. Dr Jones: I find it gratifying that trainees ask about this. And I'm sorry, I think I've probably sent a bunch of trainees your way for advice about this, and you've been incredibly generous with your time and expertise. So, I find it very gratifying that our neurology trainees are interested in this area, because it's an important area of medicine. It's also probably a challenging practice just from the cognitive load and the emotional load of caring for patients who are moving through a progressive illness. What is your thinking about how to have a sustainable career in palliative medicine? What is your approach to that? Is it for everyone? Dr Robinson: Yeah, the issue with palliative care is that we do see some very challenging situations, and frankly some very sad situations. But I actually love what I do because I think that we're helping patients and their family members during very, very difficult times. I feel like this is why I went to medical school, to try to be there for people when they need me the most. The way that I think about it is, the patients and family members will be going through this anyway. We're trying to help improve their quality of life as they're going through it. And what you might find interesting is that these patients are so grateful. And their loved ones, they're so grateful. Even if they're nearing the end of life, just to have someone who's helping them see that, for instance, the pain could be better, or that they have more resources for the loved ones to be able to take care of them. And so, I think that helps sustain us, realizing that we are really having a positive benefit on the patients and also their family members. Dr Jones: Well, I think that's a great point to end on. And these are patients who need help. Even if we don't have a curative therapy, they do need support. And that's an important service and a function and an important facet of our profession. So, Dr Robinson, I want to thank you for joining us, and I want to thank you for such a great discussion of neuropalliative care. I learned a lot from our conversation today. I've learned a lot reading the articles and the experts that you put together. This is an important topic. I'm really grateful to you to having assembled this team of expert authors and put together an issue that I think will be really important for not only our junior readers, but also our more experienced subscribers as well. Dr Robinson: Thank you, Dr Jones, for the opportunity.
