In this episode I sit down with Andrew and Kara Root to talk about their new book, A Pilgrimage Into Letting Go. Written out of their journey walking St. Cuthbert's Way with their children, the book reflects on parenting, pastoring, and the hard but necessary work of releasing control. Together we explore why modern life pushes us to manage every detail, how uncontrollability can actually be a gift, and what it looks like to see parenting as a pilgrimage. Along the way, we talk about prayer as listening, the difference between being a tourist and a pilgrim, and the ways God encounters us when we surrender to presence. This is a conversation about trust, family, and faith that invites us to walk with open hands and open hearts.Andrew Root is the Carrie Olson Baalson Professor of Youth and Family Ministry at Luther Seminary, USA. He writes and researches in areas of theology, ministry, culture and younger generations.  His most recent books are Evangelism in an Age of Despair (Baker, 2025), The Church in an Age of Secular Mysticisms (Baker, 2023), Churches and the Crisis of Decline (Baker, 2022), The Congregation in a Secular Age (Baker, 2021), and The Pastor in a Secular Age: Ministry to People Who No Longer Need God (Baker, 2019).

In this deeply personal and thought-provoking episode, actor Roy opens up about his journey through mental and physical wellbeing, fatherhood, and personal growth. The conversation begins with Roy's early inspirations for living a healthy life, shaped significantly by the loss of his father at a young age—a moment that sparked a lifelong commitment to health and awareness. He candidly shares how his experiences with grief, emotional vulnerability, and meditation have shaped his perspective on life, masculinity, and the importance of mental health conversations, especially for men. As a father, Roy talks about how raising his daughter has not only influenced his career choices but also transformed the way he approaches life. The episode explores how modern parenting requires balancing emotional presence with teaching independence and logic, navigating generational differences, and redefining traditional norms of masculinity—both in real life and Indian cinema. Roy also reflects on the power of male friendships, daily lifestyle habits, and how he deals with success and failure through mindfulness and self-awareness. Whether you're a parent, someone working on personal growth, or simply navigating the complexities of health and identity, this conversation will leave you inspired, grounded, and introspective.CHAPTERS:00:00 Promo01:43 Introduction02:20 Childhood Influences and Early Realisations03:49 The Impact of Father's Death08:03 Mental Health Awareness15:03 Fatherhood and Parenting Philosophy19:51 Professional Choices Influenced by Fatherhood25:01 Portrayal of Masculinity in Indian Cinema35:46 Parenting Challenges and Changes36:37 Generation Gap and Parenting36:59 Logical Thinking in Kids38:14 The Importance of Treating Kids as Adults38:42 Personal Anecdotes on Parenting39:53 Navigating Teenage Years40:32 The Role of Fathers43:05 The Importance of Male Friendships52:38 The Benefits of Routine and Meditation01:01:34 Dealing with Failures01:07:52 Final Thoughts and Advice

Welcome back to The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast. In today's playful and heart-opening solo episode, Candace is here with a loving reminder: life is meant to be lived, not perfectly managed.From grass stains to Christmas wrapping explosions, this episode celebrates the joy found in letting things get a little messy. Whether it's your kids jumping in puddles or you getting jam in your shirt while in the kitchen, some of the sweetest memories come when we stop aiming for spotless and start saying yes to fun.Inside this episode:

“Simplicity was something I learned from my family and grew up with. The fact is, you do not need fancy food, you do not need a huge variety of food. You can have some potatoes, and you can have one vegetable, and you make a brothy sauce with the vegetables, and you pour it over the freshly cooked potatoes. It can be so comforting and nourishing. So simplicity is something that is important for us to understand.” —Daniela Kratz   “I grew up in a household where we cooked together. Cooking was a way of connecting for us. Culturally, food is a language of love, poetry, and respect for nature. We grew up and used everything that was available; nothing went to waste. So for my kids it was important to pass that on.” —Shirin Gonili Aryanpour   What if the most radical act of sustainability isn't what you buy, but how you gather your family around the table? In a world that tells working moms to do it all, the real challenge is weaving mindful choices into the chaos of daily life without losing the joy, the flavor, or the connection. If you've ever wondered how to nurture your kids, your career, and the planet—without burning out—this conversation is for you. Meet Shirin Aryanpour, a mom and former physical therapist who transformed her family's kitchen into a hub of love, culture, and zero-waste creativity, and Daniela Kratz, founder of Farmhouse Lab, who brings the wisdom of generations and the simplicity of real food to her own children. Together, they share honest stories of juggling work, family, and the pursuit of a sustainable lifestyle, offering practical rituals, cultural insights, and the reassurance that perfection isn't the goal.   Tune in as Justine, Shirin, and Daniela explore how food rituals, cultural traditions, and open-door community spirit can empower working moms to teach their kids about conscious choices, nurture respect for nature, balance busy schedules, and celebrate the beauty of imperfection.    Meet Daniela:  A SF Bay Area-based mom of two, Daniela Kratz, the mastermind behind Farmhouse Lab's high-quality specialty dressings, which she launched in 2016, shifted from a sustainability leadership role with a large global corporation to focus on what inspired her most — directly helping individuals make healthier, more locally-driven and sustainable food choices. Daniela's inspiration for creating high-quality, sustainably sourced, delicious dressings originated from her realization that the majority of dressings on the shelves contain emulsifiers, preservatives, artificial flavors, and/or refined sugars. And what was easy for her to whip up in the kitchen wasn't so simple for many on-the-go parents and professionals. With the start of her own family, combined with her love of entertaining and passion for sustainability, it was a natural for Daniela to create a business designed to promote a healthy lifestyle. Website LinkedIn Instagram Facebook X   Meet Shirin:  Shirin Gonili Aryanpour is a passionate leader, healer, and advocate for women's empowerment. She is the founder of Illuminate Her Path, a transformative digital community that blends wellness, education, spiritual connection, and collective growth. With over 16 years of experience as a physical therapist and a decade of humanitarian work through Operation Smile (co-founder of Northern California Chapter), Shirin has long been devoted to healing and service. Her journey as a two-time breast cancer thriver revealed the critical gaps in women's healthcare and ignited her mission to create spaces where women can thrive. Through curated events, sacred women's circles, and evidence-based wellness resources, Shirin cultivates environments where women can share their stories, access healing, and build lasting connections.

Your extraordinary marriage starts here: www.thedadedge.com/25questions Today, in this debut episode of Friday Fatherly Fumbles, First Downs, and Field Goals, Larry Hagner shares intimate insights from his personal fatherhood journey, emphasizing that parenting is a learnable skill rather than an innate ability. Through candid stories of his own parenting challenges, including moments of lost patience, he draws a compelling parallel to Navy SEAL training to illustrate how fathers can develop emotional regulation and composure in challenging parenting situations. The episode kicks off this new weekly series by delving into his passionate perspective on two crucial aspects of family dynamics: the importance of prioritizing marriage alongside parenting to create a strong family foundation, and the vital role of building genuine connections with children through meaningful engagement.  Drawing from his own experiences, Larry emphasizes that while parenting mistakes are inevitable, the ability to repair and learn from these moments ultimately strengthens family bonds and creates lasting relationships. www.thedadedge.com/friday187 www.thedadedge.com/patience www.thedadedge.com/25questions

Happy Throwback Thursday Heal Squad! Today we are bringing back our conversation with Dr. Shefali Tsabary, a clinical psychologist who draws from both Western psychology and Eastern philosophy, offering her clients a unique, holistic approach. Dr. Shefali sits to discuss her new book, "A Radical Awakening: Turn Your Pain into Power, Embrace Your Truth and Live Free" In our conversation, we explore breaking free from societal expectations and boundaries - particularly the obstacles that often hold women back from becoming their most authentic selves. This is a deep dive into how we can learn to live freely and for ourselves, rather than for anyone else. Healers and Heal-Liners The reason why religion and capitalism work so well together is that religion is “thou shall suffer' and capitalism is ‘oh you're suffering, here I have the drug'.  Capitalism preys on the parenting industrial complex.  Unworthiness is the prediction of the economic system. Just because we can, doesn't mean we must.
