Israel has always been the apple of God's eye, and that has never changed. Yet, often in today's Church, Israel is not seen as a player in God's plan. Some teach that Israel has not been important since the inception of the Church. This of course is not true. In this episode, I talk with a Messianic Jew who enlightens us on what God thinks about Israel. Thom Berkowitz is my guest, and our conversation is enlightening.

In this episode, we tackle the raw and unfiltered Book of Judges. We step into an era where "there was no king in Israel" to see what happens when a society—and an individual—abandons prophetic boundaries and begins to substitute personal preference for divine law. The Pride Cycle: We analyze the text's relentless pattern of prosperity, pride, sin, suffering, supplication, and salvation. We look at why God preserves this cycle as a warning for our day. Gideon's Reduction: We explore why God reduced Gideon's army from 32,000 down to just 300 men. We learn why the Lord intentionally puts us in positions where we cannot boast in our own strength. The Leadership of Deborah: We study the courage of Deborah and the unexpected heroism of Jael, illustrating how God raises up faithful individuals to do what others are too fearful to attempt. The Descent of Samson: We map out the tragic, literal "downward" geographical and spiritual journey of Samson, looking at how a man of such high potential fell victim to low achievement because of weak self-discipline. Doing Right in Our Own Eyes: We conclude with the sobering final verse of the book, confronting the modern trap of moral relativism and discovering why true freedom requires submitting to the King of Kings. Call-to-Action: Gideon needed a fleece to confirm his faith, but eventually had to move forward in the dark. What is a "strange strategy" the Lord is asking you to trust in your life right now?

Episode 3021: Jennifer shares Candace's thoughtful perspective on how minimalism can transform motherhood by quieting outside expectations and helping families focus on what truly matters. Through intentional choices, simple living creates more peace, freedom, and space for meaningful experiences, allowing mothers to build a life guided by values instead of social pressure. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.simplyfiercely.com/minimalism-for-mothers-an-essay-on-simple-living-motherhood/ Quotes to ponder: "When a mother chooses minimalism, this storm of opinions is hushed. Your life is simplified. You are suddenly able to hear what your heart says." "We are the captains of our ship and not society and its opinions." "Choose people over things. Choose experiences over materialism. Listen to what your heart says matters to you." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
You're not failing. Your nervous system is overwhelmed, and there's a reason why.If you've been snapping, overthinking, lying awake at night, or feeling strangely disconnected from your own life, this episode will help you understand why.Because it's not a mindset problem. It's your nervous system.In this solo, Zoe goes deeper than typical “nervous system” advice to explore what's really driving overwhelm in motherhood and why so many of us feel stuck in survival mode, even when nothing is “wrong”.This is about understanding the root, not just managing the symptoms.
In this episode with Dr. Sara Bloom, we unpack the hidden emotional and physical toll of modern motherhood — and why so many women feel exhausted, disconnected, and constantly behind despite doing everything “right.” We explore how today's wellness culture often asks mothers to optimize more, perform more, and carry more, when what they truly need is restoration, nervous system support, and permission to slow down.We also dive into what led Sara to create Mavie, a maternal wellness app intentionally built without streaks, scores, or pressure to “do wellness perfectly.” Designed to meet mothers where they are, Mavie focuses on realistic support through simple practices, accessible tools, and meaningful community. Whether you're a new mom, navigating identity shifts, or feeling overwhelmed by the always-on pace of modern life, this episode is a reminds me to the days I jumped er that wellness should support you, not become another responsibility to manage.Use code MTMOMS for 1 month free on Mavie!Instagram: @wearemorethanmomsPatreon: More Than Moms Guides & Resources Join our IRL LA communitySubscribe to our NewsletterProduced by Peoples MediaInstagram: @wearemorethanmomsPatreon: More Than Moms Guides & Resources Join our IRL LA communitySubscribe to our NewsletterProduced by Peoples Media Hosted on Acast.

Best selling author Anna Malaika Tubbs stops by to tell us all about her book, Erased: What American Patriarchy Has Hidden from Us and helps us hone in on real time examples of our Patriarchy is being weaponized today. Anna unpacks how the United States has constructed a unique - and often invisible - gendered hierarchy, one that is inextricably linked to whiteness and a deeply flawed binary system. From the founding fathers to the current Supreme Court, from the erasure of women in the Constitution to the ongoing fight for the Equal Rights Amendment, Dr. Tubbs reveals the mechanisms that have kept women's contributions hidden and their voices suppressed. Anna Malaika Tubbs is a scholar, advocate, and bestselling author (The Three Mothers: How the Mothers of Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and James Baldwin Shaped a Nation) whose work brings a fresh, urgent perspective on American history and its gendered systems. With a Ph.D. in Sociology and a Masters in Multidisciplinary Gender Studies from the University of Cambridge and a Bachelors in Medical Anthropology from Stanford University, Anna translates her academic knowledge into clear and engaging stories. Her articles have been published by TIME Magazine, New York Magazine, CNN, Motherly, The Huffington Post, For Harriet, The Guardian, Darling Magazine, and Blavity. Anna's storytelling also takes form in her talks, including her TED Talk that has been viewed 2 million times, as well as the scripted and unscripted screen projects she has in development. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband, former Mayor of Stockton, CA Michael Tubbs and their three young children.

In this gentle conversation with Elizabeth Berget, author of "Love Like a Mother: How the Sacred Work of Motherhood Reveals the Maternal Heart of God," we continue exploring how enlarging our understanding of God's maternal tenderness can transform the way emotionally weary women experience faith, healing, and belonging.Together, we reflect on the sacred work of nurturing, caregiving, carrying, comforting, and remaining present through suffering—and how these deeply human experiences mirror the compassionate heart of God.This conversation invites us to move beyond harsh or striving images of spirituality and rediscover a God who gathers, comforts, nourishes, and stays near to the weary.If you have ever longed to experience God as safe, gentle, emotionally present, and compassionate, this episode offers a healing invitation into a more embodied and tender faith.Because perhaps divine love has always been more nurturing, attentive, and compassionate than we realized.

How did Mothers day ruin a date?
Hopestream for parenting kids through drug use and addiction
ABOUT THE EPISODE:Lacey Tezino grew up believing her biological mother was dead. That's what her family told her in the ‘80s when she was adopted, and she carried that story until she was 19 years old. Hungover on just one more motherless-Mother's Day, Lacey somehow found the nerve to call ‘information' to see if that was true. Her mother picked up the phone. That call became a decade-long relationship that Lacey describes as beautiful, heartbreaking, and nothing she was prepared for.The complications didn't end with the reunion. Lacey's mother had her own life, her own rhythm, and her own relationship with alcohol. So did Lacey. And when her mother received a stage four lung cancer diagnosis, the urgency it created forced them both into a kind of honesty they had never quite managed before. They sat through chemo appointments and asked the hard questions. They talked about what they'd each been holding. And Lacey has spent the years since wondering why it took running out of time to get there.Lacey is the founder of Passport Journeys and the author of Therapy After Mom Died. She now works with mothers and daughters to help them heal together before a crisis forces their hand, matching them with therapists, building structured connections, and asking the eight questions that reveal exactly where a relationship has come apart.This conversation goes somewhere I don't hear talked about often enough: the way our kids watch us reach for a drink at the end of a hard day, and what they quietly absorb from that. Lacey tells the story of her own Friday night ritual, margaritas that offered tired parents decompression, the moment she realized her children were watching all of it, and what they might be learning. If you have a daughter - or son - you love and a relationship that feels like it's missing something you can't quite name, this one is for you.YOU'LL LEARN:What Lacey said when her mother, who she thought was dead, picked up the phoneThe unhealthy Friday night ritual she couldn't unsee once she saw itThe gap she keeps finding between what moms believe and what daughters feelWhy, as a parent, you have to connect before you correctWhat it took for Lacey and her mother to finally be honest with each otherEPISODE RESOURCES:Passport Journeys websiteTherapy After Mom Died - Lacey's book This podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereWatch the podcast on YouTube hereDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.

Whether it was Sophia and Rochelle's tough love we need to hear or Kitty's contestant upbeat, welcoming attitude we want to see when we get home with our friends. We got what we needed for half-hour broadcasts. And how, we want to give these ladies their flowers. But, to whom? Join us and our special guest, Melissa (BBS Alumni), as we debate this. Which mom did the best on-screen mothering? Claire Dunphy or Clair Huxtable? Which boy-mom had the strongest will? Lois Wilkerson or Jill Taylor? Which mom gave you the business when you needed to hear it best? Sophia Petrillo or OG Aunt Viv (the real Aunt Viv)? Who gave the most mothering vibe, but still cracked the whip and kept the house together?It's time to find out! But anyways, tell us what you think!- How many of these Mothers helped raise you?- Is Reba THE survivor when it comes to Mamas?- Does Marge have the best budgeting skills on TV?To keep up with the Ducks in charge follow:FB & IG: @BubblebathstoriesNicky Trendz IG: @nickyTRENDZManny Oso IG: @gotnotime4dissFor official Merch head over to Bubblebathstories.co☎️ Or call us at 347-878-1144 !!!
Embodied Faith: on Relational Neuroscience, Spiritual Formation, and Faith
In this episode on early Christian monasticism, Geoff and regular guest David Clayton explore how the Desert Fathers and Mothers understood sin as discorder (of all kinds) and how asceticism was a path toward freedom to love God and others. They discuss sin not merely as rule-breaking but as patterns that impair clear seeing, free choosing, and loving well. Asceticism is presented as training that frees the heart by reshaping habits, while emphasizing grace, mercy, and the hope to “begin again” each day.Dive deeper in our new book, Landscapes of the Soul: How the Science and Spirituality of Attachment Can Move You into Confident Faith, Courage, and Connection, and learn about our trainings and other resources at embodiedfaith.life.Stay Connected: Check out our Attaching to God 6-Week Learning Cohort.Join the Embodied Faith community to stay connected and get posts, episodes, & resources.Support the podcast with a one-time or regular gift (to keep this ad-free without breaking the Holsclaw's bank).

If you're walking through loss, broken relationships, or a season that feels nothing like the life you imagined, we hope this look at the life of Naomi reminds you that God is not absent and He is still writing your story.Episode Recap:This week we're looking at Naomi's story (1:26)When this story begins, Naomi is living through one crisis after another (3:00)Naomi's outlook on her future was bleak (7:30)God works to weave a thread of redemption through Naomi's life (13:42)God never abandons us even when it feels like He has (15:33)We are not writing our own stories (18:19)Scripture: Ruth 4:14 (NASB) “Then the women said to Naomi, “Blessed is the Lord who has not left you without a redeemer today, and may his name become famous in Israel.”Discussion Questions: Have you ever gone through a season where disappointment or grief changed the way you viewed your life or even God?Are there losses or disappointments you've tried to “move past” without honestly grieving them?Is there a story you're currently telling yourself that may not actually be true? (“God has forgotten me,” “Things will never change,” etc.)Which truth from Naomi's story do you most need to hold onto right now:It's okay to grieveYour perspective isn't always accurateGod is still writing your storyResources:Register for the SOAR Conference today.

In this episode of the Feminine Frequency Podcast, Amy Natalie sits down with Marina Byezhanova, a global personal branding expert, mother, and entrepreneur, to explore what it truly means to lead from a place of authenticity rather than obligation. They dive deep into the "inner game" of success, challenging the societal narrative that high-level achievement must come at the cost of burnout or sacrificed relationships.Marina shares her journey from navigating the pressures of being an immigrant in Canada to building a global agency, Brandable Leader, rooted in the mission of helping others find their true voice. Throughout the conversation, Amy and Marina unpack how shifting from a "forcing" masculine energy to a "flowing" feminine energy allows women to magnetize the right opportunities and relationships while letting go of the fear of judgment.Themes:Marina explains how she manages a high-output life by focusing on "energy management" rather than "time management," Breaking the "perfect mom" mold. Marina shares how she released the guilt of not being a "typical nurturing" parent to build a deeper, more genuine connection with her children through one-on-one experiences and "Yes Days."How leaning into your unique quirks creates a magnetic personal brand that commands respect.The reality that being your true self is a "magnet"—it will deeply attract the right people (clients and friends) while naturally repelling those who aren't in alignment with your values.An honest look at how even successful leaders lose their spark, and the importance of having the courage to "stop and address" when a business or relationship no longer feels in alignment with your core values.Overcoming the struggle of female friendships by shifting from a competitive, "proving" energy to one of curiosity, admiration, and the vulnerability of being the first to initiate a connection.SPECIAL OFFER:
Every May, social media fills with beautiful tributes to motherhood. “Moms are superheroes” “A mother's love knows no bounds" ”Home is where mom is” And that gratitude matters. The acknowledgment matters. But underneath all the flowers, hashtags, “best mom ever” mugs, and brunches…there's a deeper conversation we don't have often enough. Motherhood in our society comes with profoundly unequal expectations. Not because men are inherently bad partners or uninvolved fathers. But because women and men are often socialized very differently around caregiving, sacrifice, emotional labor, and identity. Women are frequently taught that being a “good mom” means sacrifice. It means anticipating needs, absorbing discomfort, prioritizing others, smoothing conflict, and holding everything together. Mothers are expected to professionally manage childhood. Dads, meanwhile, are often praised for participation. And those are not the same expectations! And the consequences of those expectations show up everywhere: in the motherhood penalty, in the fatherhood bonus, in emotional labor, in Overfunctioning, in burnout, and in the guilt women often carry no matter what choices they make. Stay home? You're wasting your potential. Work full time? You're letting someone else raise your kids. Try to do both? Now you feel like you're failing in two places simultaneously. And perhaps most painfully, women are often made to feel guilty for acknowledging any complexity in motherhood at all. As though saying “this is hard” somehow diminishes love. But human beings are capable of feeling multiple things at once. You can deeply love your children…AND still feel exhausted. You can feel grateful for motherhood…AND still feel yourself wilting under impossible expectations. Those things are not contradictions. They are part of being human. One of the most important reframes I've learned through years of researching gender, leadership, and emotional labor is this…sometimes women are not overwhelmed…they're Overfunctioning! Carrying the logistics, the emotions, the remembering, the planning, the anticipating, and often the emotional equilibrium of everyone around them. And eventually, that takes a toll. Women do not wilt because they are weak. Women wilt because they are expected to endlessly bloom without being watered themselves. That's not an individual failure. That's a cultural conversation worth having! #tunein #advancingwomenpodcast Advancing Women Podcast Episodes referenced in this episode: Overwhelmed or Overfunctioning? https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/overwhelmed-or-overfunctioning-how-the-language/id1569849100?i=1000756866647 All Women are Defective! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/all-women-are-defective/id1569849100?i=1000527934727 Let's Connect: · Instagram: @AdvancingWomenPodcast https://www.instagram.com/advancingwomenpodcast/?hl=en · Facebook: Advancing Women Podcast https://www.facebook.com/advancingwomenpodcast/ · LinkedIn: Dr. Kimberly DeSimone https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimberly-desimone-phd-mba-ba00b88/

Today, we're honored to share a conversation with Tish Harrison Warren on her beautiful brand new book, What Grows in Weary Lands.From the very first pages of this book, Tish gives us language for something so familiar. She writes about aridity—those seasons of spiritual drought, exhaustion, or distance from God, when prayer feels flat, faith feels heavy, and the life we once found nourishing suddenly feels barren. Then she also introduces us to the ancient idea of acedia—what the Desert Fathers and Mothers sometimes called “the noonday demon.” It's that restless belief that life with God would be easier somewhere else, sometime else, with different work, different people, a different church, or a new set of circumstances. It's a restlessness that wants to escape the ordinary demands of love in search of some imagined future where spiritual highs are constant and faith feels effortless. But Tish says these experiences of aridity and acedia aren't signs that something has gone wrong, in fact, they are experiences that Christians throughout time have understood to be a normal—even necessary—part of spiritual maturity.In this conversation, she helps us see that the invitation in these weary seasons is not to force our way back into those spiritual highs, but to stay with prayer, to stay with the ordinary practices that have formed disciples for centuries, often staying with imperfect communities and relationships even after the shine has worn off and the brokenness becomes visible.She makes the case that that maturity often looks less like finding the perfect place, and more like learning how God meets us in imperfect places through patience, repair, and the slow work of love.Tish is an Anglican priest and author known for her award winning books Liturgy of the Ordinary and Prayer in the Night. Her new book, What Grows in Weary Lands, was released this week and is available on Bookshop.org, Amazon, or wherever books are sold. We are so grateful to Tish for coming on the podcast and we hope that you enjoy this conversation.Join us on July 11 for the Wayfare festival! RSVP here.

This conversation will stay with you. When Glennon and her son Chase sit down with his hero, Ocean Vuong, something shifts: mothering reveals itself as more than a role—it's a force that finds our kids through books, voices, and people who see them when we can't. A raw, beautiful conversation about raising boys, surviving what shapes us, and the quiet truth every parent carries: we don't do this alone. - How art and connection can “mother” us - What boys are taught about survival—and how that's changing - The moment a child feels truly seen - How grief opens us to deeper human connection - Gratitude for the ones who help raise our kids About Ocean: Ocean Vuong, author of the critically acclaimed poetry collection Night Sky with Exit Wounds, and the New York Times bestselling novel On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous is a recipient of the 2019 MacArthur "Genius Grant" and the winner of the Whiting Award and the T. S. Eliot Prize. In Time Is a Mother, Ocean's newest poetry collection available now, he reckons with his mother's death, embodying the paradox of sitting within grief while being determined to survive beyond it. His writings have been featured in The Atlantic, Harper's Magazine, The Nation, The New Republic, The New Yorker, and The New York Times. Born in Saigon, Vietnam, he currently lives in Northampton, Massachusetts. Follow We Can Do Hard Things on: Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/wecandohardthings

Today we're continuing our Mothers of the Bible series by looking at Hannah's story in 1 Samuel. Hannah was a woman who longed for a child and wrestled with seasons of waiting and disappointment. Listen as Karen teaches through this story, reminding us that God invites us to trust Him, even when our prayers feel unanswered. If you've ever waited on God for something close to your heart, we hope you are encouraged to persevere today.Episode Recap:This week we're looking at Hannah's story (0:43)Don't miss the BOAW birthday party after the Soar Conference this year!

The original Mothers' Day originated with Julia Ward Howe reacting in the 1870's to the horror of modern war. Women needed to seize political power from the men who allowed this scale of carnage. Throughout the Civil War, women had played a significant role in the war effort, and they expected their agency and participatory enfranchisement to continue in the post-war years. 14th Amendment did not give women the right to vote. Women suffrage movements are formed in America in 1869. Julia Ward Howe wrote, “Appeal to Womanhood Throughout the World,” and she organized international peace conferences.

Mothers undeniably impact and shape history -- but their stories are often left out or misrepresented, says sociologist and author Anna Malaika Tubbs. This erasure limits policies to support mothers and their essential roles in society. Citing the remarkable lives of Alberta King, Louise Little and Berdis Baldwin (the mothers of Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X and James Baldwin, respectively), Tubbs emphasizes the need to shift the perspective on motherhood at a cultural level -- to better reflect the presence, power and influence of moms as our first leaders, caretakers and teachers. "Would the world be different today if we had been telling their stories all along?" she asks.(This episode originally aired in 2022.)Learn more about our flagship conference happening this April at attend.ted.com/podcast Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, Shan sits down with renowned psychiatrist and attachment expert Dr. Amir Levine to unpack the myths around attachment theory and why attachment styles are far more flexible than people think. Dr. Levine explores the nuances of anxious, avoidant, and secure attachment, with a specific emphasis on avoidant attachment and the misconceptions surrounding it in modern dating culture. He explains why attachment is better understood as a belief system rather than a fixed diagnosis, revisits the groundbreaking “Strange Situation” experiment developed by Mary Ainsworth, and shares practical tools like the Tennis Wall of Love and the C.A.R.R.P. method to help build healthier, more secure relationships. The conversation also explores how technology and modern communication have completely changed the way we connect, date, and experience intimacy today.
