Podcasts about moments

Some time ago on the 11th of September, we gave this talk on the very heart of our tradition and practice. September 11th in 1893 was the day Swami Vivekananda opened his transmission to the West (and the the world at large) at the Parliament of World Religions so for us it is a very sacred day when we commemorate the "turning of the wheel of dharma" yet again! Strangely, I haven't uploaded this talk until now. It felt fitting to do so since as I type this, we are in the midst of the vrśchika sankranti, that is, the sun's transition from the solar house of tulā (libra) and into vrśchika (scorpio) as per the Vedic system. Moments like this are considered incredibly auspicious for spiritual practice. There's also a flavor of a new beginning, of turning over a new page. As such, it is important to return to the fundamentals at a time like so there couldn't be a better moment for this video, I realize! In this talk, we describe Sri Ramakrishna's approach to Tāntrik spiritual practice which is really, at its core, the sincere and fervent performance of ritual worship, pūjā. If as a result of this talk, you're inspired to take up a dedicated pūjā practice, here is our playlist for step by step, mantra by mantra instruction for pūjā. May all be flame with awakened Consciousness!

Oxford, Folly Bridge - ein stiller Ort an der Themse, an dem sich Geschichte und Legende berühren. Ein kühler Julinachmittag des Jahres 1862, drei junge Mädchen im Boot, ein schüchterner Mathematiker am Ruder: Lewis Carroll, geboren als Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. Ausgerechnet hier, zwischen gemächlichen Ruderschlägen und kindlichem Lachen, erfindet er eine Geschichte, die die Welt verändern wird - die Reise eines Mädchens voller Logikrätsel, Sprachwitz und schillernder Absurditäten: Alice im Wunderland In dieser Folge BRITPOD folgen Alexander-Klaus Stecher und Claus Beling den Spuren dieses außergewöhnlichen Moments zurück nach Oxford - in jene Stadt, in der Carroll Mathematik lehrte, Gedichte schrieb und mit seiner Kamera experimentierte, lange bevor die Fotografie zu einer Kunstform wurde. Sie erzählen von seinen Spaziergängen über die Höfe des Christchurch College, von der echten Alice Liddell, Tochter des Dekans, und von einem Mann, der sich in graue Kleidung hüllte, um nicht aufzufallen und dennoch eines der leuchtendsten Bücher des 19. Jahrhunderts schuf. Sie sprechen über die Entstehung des berühmten Manuskripts Alice's Adventures Underground, das Carroll zunächst nur für die kleine Alice niederschrieb - 90 Seiten mit eigenen Zeichnungen, ehe der Verlag Macmillan das Potenzial erkannte. Die Zeichnungen des späteren Illustrator-Genies John Tenniel machten das Buch ikonisch, doch ihre Zusammenarbeit war alles andere als einfach: ein Streit um das richtige Gesicht der Alice, aufwändige Druckverfahren, verworfene Auflagen und schließlich ein Erfolg, der selbst Queen Victoria erreichte. Und um das Meisterwerk Alice im Wunderland ranken sich bis heute einige Mythen: War das Wunderland ein Produkt von Drogeneinfluss? Litt Carroll am später so benannten „Alice-in-Wonderland-Syndrom“? Wie real sind die Figuren, die im Buch auftauchen - der verrückte Hutmacher, die Herzkönigin, das weiße Kaninchen? Und weshalb fasziniert ein „Nonsensbuch“ bis heute Schriftsteller, Künstler, Sänger und Träumer auf der ganzen Welt? BRITPOD England at it's best.

BONUS: Flawless Execution — Translating Fighter Pilot Precision to Business Results In this powerful conversation, former fighter pilot Christian "Boo" Boucousis reveals how military precision translates into agile business leadership. We explore the FLEX model (Plan-Brief-Execute-Debrief), the critical difference between control-based and awareness-based leadership, and why most organizations fail to truly embrace iterative thinking. From Cockpit to Boardroom: An Unexpected Journey "I learned over time that it doesn't matter what you do if you're always curious, and you're always intentional, and you're always asking questions." — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   Christian's path from fighter pilot to leadership consultant wasn't planned—it was driven by necessity and curiosity. After 11 years as a fighter pilot (7 in Australia, 4 in the UK), an autoimmune condition ended his flying career at age 30. Rather than accepting a comfy job flying politicians around, he chose entrepreneurship. He moved to Afghanistan with a friend and built a reconstruction company that grew to a quarter billion dollars in four years. The secret? The debrief skills he learned as a fighter pilot. By constantly asking "What are you trying to achieve? How's it going? Why is there a gap?" he approached business with an agile mindset before he even knew what agile was. This curiosity-driven, question-focused approach became the foundation for everything that followed. The FLEX Model: Plan-Brief-Execute-Debrief "Agile and scrum were co-created by John Sutherland, who was a fighter pilot, and its origins sit in the OODA loop and iteration. Which is why it's a circle." — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   The FLEX model isn't new—fighter pilots have used this Plan-Brief-Execute-Debrief cycle for 60 years. It's the ultimate simple agile model, designed to help teams accelerate toward goals using the same accelerated learning curve the Air Force uses to train fighter pilots. The key insight: everything in this model is iterative, not linear. Every mission has a start, middle, and end, and every stage involves constant adaptation. Afterburner (the company Christian now leads as CEO) has worked with nearly 3,800 companies and 2.8 million people over 30 years, teaching this model. What's fascinating is that the DNA of agile is baked into fighter pilot thinking—John Sutherland, co-creator of Scrum, wrote the foreword for Christian's book "The Afterburner Advantage" because they share the same roots in the OODA loop and iterative thinking. Why Iterative Thinking Doesn't Come Naturally "Iterative thinking is not a natural human model. Most of the time we learn from mistakes. We don't learn as a habit." — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   Here's the hard truth: agile as a way of working is very different from the way human beings naturally think. Business leadership models still hark back to Frederick Winslow Taylor's 1911 book on scientific management—industrial era leadership designed for building buildings, not creating software. Time is always linear (foundation, then structure, then finishing), and this shapes how we think about planning. Humans also tend to organize like villages with chiefs, warriors, and gatherers—hierarchical and political. Fighter pilots created a parallel system where politics exist outside missions, but during execution, personality clashes can't interfere. The challenge for business isn't the method—it's getting human minds to embrace iteration as a habit, not just a process they follow when forced. Planning: Building Collective Consciousness, Not Task Lists "Planning isn't all about sequencing actions—that's not planning. That's the byproduct of planning, which is collectively agreeing what good looks like at the end." — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   Most people plan in their head or in front of a spreadsheet by themselves. That's not planning—that's collecting thoughts. Real planning means bringing everyone on the team together to build collective consciousness about what's possible. The plan is always "the best idea based on what we know now." Once airborne, everything changes because the enemy doesn't cooperate with your plan. Planning is about the destination, not the work to get there. Think about airline pilots: they don't tell you about traffic delays on their commute or maintenance issues. They say "Welcome aboard, our destination is Amsterdam, there's weather on the way, we'll land 5 minutes early." That's a brief—just the effect on you based on all their work. Most business meetings waste 55 minutes on backstory and 5 minutes deciding to have another meeting. Fighter pilots focus entirely on: What are we trying to achieve? What might get in the way? Let's go. Briefing: The 25-Minute Focus Window "You need 25 minutes of focus before your brain really focuses on the task. You program your brain for the mission at hand." — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   The brief is the moment between planning and execution when the plan is as accurate as it'll ever get. It's called "brief" for a reason—it's really short. The team checks that everyone understands the plan in today's context, accounting for last-minute changes (broken equipment, weather, personnel changes). Then comes the critical part: creating the mission bubble. From the brief until mission end, there are no distractions, no notifications. If someone tries to interrupt a fighter pilot walking to the jet, the response is clear: "I'm in my mission bubble. No distractions." This isn't optional—research shows it takes 25 minutes of uninterrupted focus before your brain truly locks onto a task. Yet most business leaders expect constant availability, with notifications pinging every few minutes. If you need everyone to have notifications on to run your business, you're doing a really bad job at planning. Execution: Awareness-Based Leadership vs. Control-Based Leadership "The reason we have so many meetings is because the leader is trying to control the situation and own all the awareness. It's not humanly possible to do that." — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   During execution, fighter pilots fly the plan until it doesn't work anymore—then they adapt. A mission commander might lead 70 airplanes, but can't possibly track all 69 others. Instead, they create "gates"—checkpoints where everyone confirms they're in the right place within 10 seconds. They plan for chaos, creating awareness points where the team is generally on track or not. The key shift: from control-based leadership (the leader tries to control everything) to awareness-based leadership (the leader facilitates and listens for divergences). This includes "subordinated leadership"—any of the four pilots in a formation can take the lead if they have better awareness. If a wingman calls out a threat the leader doesn't see, the immediate response is "Press! You take the lead." This works because they planned for it and have criteria. Business teams profess to want this kind of agile collaboration, but struggle because they haven't invested in the planning and shared understanding that makes fluid leadership transitions possible. Abort Criteria: Knowing When to Stop "We have this concept called abort criteria. If certain criteria are hit, we abort the mission. I think that's a massive opportunity for business." — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   There are degrees of things going wrong: a little bit, a medium amount, and everything going wrong. When everything's going wrong, fighter pilots stop and turn around—they don't keep pressing a bad situation. This "abort criteria" concept is massively underutilized in business. Too often, teams press bad situations, transparency disappears, people stop talking, and everyone goes into survival mode (protect myself, blame others). This never happens with fighter pilots. If something goes wrong, they take accountability and make the best decision. The most potent team size is four people: a leader, deputy leader, and two wingmen. This small team size with clear roles and shared abort criteria creates psychological safety to call out problems and adapt quickly. The Retrospective Mindset: Not Just a Ritual "A retrospective isn't a ritual. It's actually a way of thinking. It's a cognitive model. If you approached everything as a retrospective—what are we trying to achieve? How's it going? Why is it not going where we want? What's the one action to get back on track?" — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   The debrief—the retrospective—is the most important part of fighter pilot culture translated into agile. It's not just a meeting you have at the end of a sprint. It's a mindset you apply to everything: projects, relationships, personal development. Christian introduces "Flawless Leadership" built on three M's: Method (agile practices), Mindset (growth mindset developed through acting iteratively), and Moments (understanding when to show up as a people leader vs. an impact leader). The biggest mistake in technology: teams do retrospectives internally but don't include the business. They get a brief from the business, build for two months, come back, and the business says "What is this? This isn't what I expected." If they'd had the business in every scrum, every iteration, trust would build naturally. Everyone involved in the mission must be part of the planning, briefing, executing, and debriefing. Leading in the Moment: Three Layers of Leadership "Your job as a scrum master, as a leader—it doesn't matter if you're leading a division of people—is to be aware. And you're only going to be aware by listening." — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   Christian breaks leadership into three layers: People Leadership (political, emotional, dealing with personalities and overwhelm), Impact Leadership (the agile layer, results-driven, scientific), and Leading Now (the reactive, amygdala-driven panic response when things go wrong). The mistake: mixing these layers. Don't try to be a people leader during execution—that's not the time. But if you're really good at impact leadership (planning, breaking epics into stories, getting work done), you become high trust and high credibility. People leadership becomes easier because success eliminates excuses. During execution, watch for individual traits and blind spots. Use one-on-ones with a retrospective mindset: "What does good look like for you? How do we get to where you're not frustrated?" When leaders aren't present—checking phones and watches during meetings—they lose people. Your job as a leader is to turn your ears on, facilitate (not direct), and listen for divergences others don't see. The Technology-Business Disconnect "Every time you're having a scrum, every time you're coming together to talk about the product, just have the business there with you. It's easy." — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   One of the biggest packages of work Afterburner does: technology teams ask them to help build trust with the business. The solution is shockingly simple—include the business in every scrum, every planning session, every retrospective. Agile is a tech-driven approach, creating a disconnect. Technology brings overwhelming information about how hard they're working and problems they've solved, but business doesn't care about the past. They care about the future: what are you delivering and when? During the Gulf War, the military scaled this fighter pilot model to large-scale planning. Fighter pilots work with marines, special forces, navy, CIA agents—everyone is part of the plan. If one person is missing from planning, execution falls apart. If someone on the ground doesn't know how an F-18 works, the jet is just expensive decoration. Planning is about learning what everyone else does and how to support them best—not announcing what you'll do and how you'll do it. High-Definition Destinations: Beyond Goals "Planning is all about the destination, not the work to get there. Think about when you hop on an airplane—the pilot doesn't tell you the whole backstory. They say 'Welcome aboard, our destination is Amsterdam, there's weather on the way, we'll land 5 minutes early.' All you want is the effect on you." — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   Christian uses the term "High-Definition Destinations" rather than goals. The difference is clarity and vividness. When you board a plane, you don't get the pilot's commute story or maintenance details—you get the destination, obstacles, and estimated arrival. That's communication focused on effect, not process. Most business communication does the opposite: overwhelming context, backstory, and detail, with the destination buried somewhere in the middle. The brief should always be: Here's where we're going. Here's what might get in the way. Let's go. This communication style—focused on outcomes and effects rather than processes and problems—transforms how teams align and execute. It eliminates the noise and centers everyone on what actually matters: the destination.   About Christian "Boo" Boucousis   Christian "Boo" Boucousis is a former fighter pilot who now helps leaders navigate today's fast-moving world.

Send us a textA silky oatmeal cream pie stout that surprises with balance. An 11% tiramisu coffee stout that seduces with cocoa and espresso but leans sweet. And a brewery road story that proves awards can't fix bad hospitality, while a friendly bar down the street can turn an average pint into a memorable night. That's the ride we take as we crack open Whole Hog's 8% Imperial Stout and Saunder's OTTO brewed with Script Coffee, weighing keepers versus one-and-dones and where each beer truly shines.We start with the Wisconsin-made oatmeal cream pie stout: a clean, drinkable imperial that leads with toasted oats, chocolate, and a whisper of maple-caramel. It's not sticky, not heavy, and the alcohol hides well, making it stout-season friendly for people who usually avoid dessert bombs. Then we shift gears to OTTO, the 11% coffee dessert sipper. Expect big espresso, cocoa powder tiramisu vibes, and a sweetness that asks for a small pour. It's impressive in craft and body, but best as a post-dinner treat rather than a go-to fridge stock.Midway, we unpack an Indianapolis brewery detour: wall-to-wall awards and a superb pumpkin ale bruised by a surly bartender. Moments later, a second spot greets us with warmth, helpful recs, and even a free beer for an Untappd check-in—proof that service can raise or sink your tasting memory as much as the beer. We also test a new studio feel by recording without headphones, slip into winter talk—first snow, leaf piles, holiday lights—and map out coming Christmas beer picks.If you're hunting winter stout recommendations, this one's for you: keep the Whole Hog Oatmeal Cream Pie on hand for smooth, balanced sipping; save the tiramisu coffee stout for dessert flights and small glasses.

In today's episode of "Moments of Grace", Pastor Al Dagel reminds us of David's model for our prayers, even when there are tears. 

A rushed doctor visit, a push for weight loss meds, and a simple question about sleep spiral into a bigger truth: our healthcare system is built for billing codes, not people. We share what it feels like to chase rest through a maze of referrals, to be offered a prescription for the wrong problem, and to long for the old-school visit where a doctor sat down, listened, and connected the dots.That frustration sets the stage for the week's political whiplash. We unpack the shutdown theater that cost workers paychecks and put safety nets at risk while inching the ACA back onto the chopping block. If leadership planned to cave, why inflict the pain? We pull apart the optics of “strategy,” the empty promise of replacements for Obamacare, and the downstream consequences for anyone who relies on guaranteed coverage and preexisting condition protections.Then the headlines shift: the Epstein files resurface old truths about power and impunity. Does any of it move minds? Maybe not—but it matters for survivors, for accountability, and for understanding how institutions slow-walk the stories that define public memory. And just when it's all too heavy, we land on something tender and real: Jimmy Kimmel's 22-minute tribute to his friend and bandleader, Cleto. It's a masterclass in showing up—proof that masculinity can be love, loyalty, and bringing your people with you when success finally arrives. We talk chosen family over DNA, the kind of friend who flies in for your surgery, and why care—not outrage—is the only strategy that scales.If this resonates, tap follow, share with a friend who needs it, and leave a quick review.

He was hundreds of miles from home when his girlfriend Erin called during a blackout in her old Iowa rental house. The storm outside was deafening, but the silence inside was worse. Then came the whisper—a voice behind her that sounded exactly like his voice. Moments later, Erin saw her five-year-old daughter standing in the hallway… smiling, unblinking, and wrong. Over the phone, Mark listened helplessly as static filled the line and Erin screamed. When she finally called back, she was shaking—Ava was asleep upstairs the whole time. Whatever she'd seen wasn't her daughter. It wasn't him either. Days later, after they fled the house, Mark returned—and heard his own name whispered back at him, this time in Erin's voice. A child's toy appeared from nowhere. The air turned heavy, silent. Something in that house wasn't finished. #RealGhostStories #Doppelganger #HauntedHouse #ParanormalEncounter #VoiceFromTheDark #TrueHaunting #SupernaturalStory #StormHaunting #CreepyVoices Love real ghost stories?

When the lights go out, the dark has a way of showing what's really there. In the summer of 2014, a late-night blackout turned one man's quiet Laguna Beach home into something out of a nightmare. Awakened by the sound of his bedroom door clicking shut, he assumed it was his father checking on him—until the power cut out completely, the world went silent, and something began testing the doorknob from the other side. Moments later, standing in the darkened hallway, he saw it—taller than any person should be, faceless, featureless, and darker than the dark itself. The figure stood behind the living room couch, perfectly still, then leaned forward as if to listen. What followed was a night of pure terror, where the boundaries between shadow and presence blurred, and survival meant staying one step ahead of something that shouldn't exist.

When was the last time you showed up as your whole self — messy bun, bold dreams, coffee cup in hand — and said, “This is me”? In this episode of The Communication Queen Podcast, host Kimberly Spencer sits down with Marianne Hickman, professional speaker, storytelling coach, and founder of The Elegant Office. Together, they unravel the truth that every Queen in business needs to hear: authenticity isn't optional — it's your greatest business strategy. From her journey as a single mom of five on food stamps to becoming a powerhouse on global stages, Marianne reveals how owning your story — every raw, unfiltered, audacious bit of it — builds unshakable trust. Kimberly and Marianne go deep on the “cost of conformity,” how to stop shrinking to fit, and why storytelling that comes from the scars (not the wounds) transforms audiences and careers alike. If you've ever felt like your story wasn't “professional” enough to share, this conversation will shake you awake. Because when you stop performing and start being real, your people don't just listen — they lean in.

In this episode, we sit down with Eric from Lost Pizza Co. in Ocean Springs to talk about more than just great food. We get into how the restaurant has become a true part of the community — hiring local kids, supporting local schools, and building a family atmosphere that goes way beyond the dining room. We also discuss an important fundraiser happening for Jacob, a former employee who was seriously injured in an accident. On November 18th, Lost Pizza Co. is donating 100% of the entire day's sales (dine-in, takeout, and delivery) to help support Jacob and his family with medical and travel expenses. This is a chance for the Gulf Coast to show what community really looks like.

A media ministry publication of Grace Bible Church in Elkhart, Indiana. Moments of transforming grace from the Bible.

Light is today's topic, as Pastor Al Dagel brings us just a few "Moments of Grace"

In the still hours before dawn, a 911 call pierced the silence of a quiet Houston neighborhood. On the line was a teenage boy, his voice shaking as he confessed to something unthinkable. Moments earlier, he had stepped into his twin sister Meghan's bedroom. It was something he'd done countless times before, but this time, everything was different. What unfolded inside that house would leave an entire family shattered and a community grasping for answers. A tragedy without warning. A bond no one could understand breaking. And a question that still lingers: what really happened in the Elliott home that night? .

It began as a simple warning — one friend reminding another to fix her fire alarm and keep a fire extinguisher in the kitchen. But a month later, that warning became prophecy. In this chilling true ghost story from Charleston, South Carolina, two best friends reconnected after the holidays. One found a dead bat in her sink — an omen she laughed off. The other borrowed her only gray hoodie, promising to return it soon. Days later, tragedy struck. Around 4 a.m. on New Year's Eve, a fire tore through that same historic home, starting in the kitchen — just as her friend had warned. The smoke detectors weren't hooked up. By dawn, the house was gone, and so was her friend. But the story didn't end there. Moments after hearing the news, she had a vivid vision — smoke, her friend's body, the sound of barking dogs — every detail later confirmed by firefighters. Then, a week later, her friend's singed cat returned, refusing capture until she spoke her late friend's name aloud. The cat calmly walked into the carrier. Was it coincidence… or a connection that refused to die? #TrueGhostStory #Premonition #HauntedCharleston #ParanormalEncounter #IntuitionOrGift #RealGhostStoriesOnline #HauntedHouse #SupernaturalExperience #GhostlyConnection #ParanormalFire Love real ghost stories?

Seja talks to her guest Dan Whitford (Cut Copy) about the new album Moments and how the title has made him go into full dad joke/pun mode. He tells Seja about the reasons for the long break between albums, some of the software and hardware that inspired the album and how he feels about his voice after all these years. They chat about their family and band connection to each other, their time signed to Modular Records and how Steve Pav's championing of electronic music with a live element changed the course of Australian dance music. Dan and Seja agree that there is joy in a synth that has been on a journey before you get it, and Dan talks touring on a lower budget. Dan's strange show story was illustrated by Seja.

You've wandered down to the river to listen to its gentle song – but what's that strange birdsong? A metallic chirruping from the far bank... it's a dipper, it's while bib bobbing at the water's edge. And now a kingfisher zips past with a hoarse, high-pitched whistle. Moments of magic on an overcast autumn day.

The landscape of existence can sometimes feel like a cosmic play—actors shifting between roles, creating stories that ripple through time. On today's episode, we welcome Phil Proctor, an artist whose life weaves a tapestry of creativity, resilience, and humor. Known for his work with the legendary Firesign Theatre and an illustrious voice acting career, Phil has left an indelible mark on the worlds of comedy, film, and beyond.Phil Proctor is not merely a performer; he's a storyteller who transcends mediums. Reflecting on his career, Phil shared how the Firesign Theatre's surreal humor was designed not only to entertain but to provoke thought. “We were asking, ‘What is reality?'” he explained. “It's the question you should ask every day when you get out of bed.” These words capture the essence of his work—a blend of laughter and philosophy that challenges conventional perspectives.Phil described how technology has transformed his craft.From the days of live radio to recording film dialogue remotely, he marveled at the evolution of his industry. With characteristic wit, he recounted a time he dubbed a French comedy for Mel Brooks, only to find the humor lost on American audiences. “The test audience thought we were speaking French!” he laughed. Moments like these underscore Phil's adaptability and humor in the face of creative challenges.Phil also opened up about the impact of his voice acting roles, such as his long-running portrayal of Howard DeVille in Rugrats. He reflected on the joy of connecting with audiences worldwide, even decades after the show's heyday. From cartoons to video games like Assassin's Creed, his performances have reached far and wide, bridging generational gaps.One of the most profound parts of our discussion was Phil's recollection of surviving the Golden Dragon massacre in 1977. Amidst the chaos, he found solace in an unexpected synchronicity: learning that his wife was pregnant with their daughter. “Life has a way of balancing tragedy with joy,” he mused.This event, along with its psychic premonition, became the foundation of his memoir, Where's My Fortune Cookie?Phil's stories often ventured into the metaphysical. He shared how the Firesign Theatre's comedy sought to “deprogram” audiences from societal conditioning, offering a fresh lens to perceive reality. This philosophy—wrapped in humor—resonates deeply in today's fast-paced, media-saturated world. “We were making funny connections,” he said, “exercising the brain to see the world anew.”Beyond his creative endeavors, Phil's zest for life shines through in his personal anecdotes. Whether reminiscing about working with Mel Brooks or delighting in his grandchildren's fascination with technology, he embodies a boundless curiosity. His ability to balance the absurd with the profound makes his journey a testament to the power of humor and resilience.As the episode drew to a close, one thing became clear: Phil Proctor is more than a performer; he is a philosopher of humor, an explorer of reality, and a living reminder of life's intricate, interconnected dance. His stories inspire us to embrace curiosity, resilience, and a healthy dose of laughter.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bulletproof-screenwriting-podcast--2881148/support.

In this thought-provoking episode of Nomadic Diaries, Doreen Cumberford and Megan Norton-Newbanks interview Beatriz Nour  and dive deep into the complex and evolving concept of belonging—especially through the lens of those who live and move between cultures and places. From childhood roots to adult introspection, the conversation explores how connection and identity can be built, lost, found, and continuously redefined.Key Topics & InsightsRedefining Belonging:Beatrice discusses how her sense of belonging has changed over time, especially being born in France to Brazilian and Egyptian parents, living in Egypt, Dubai, and studying in France.Internal & External Work:Belonging isn't just about location or other people; much of it is internal. Beatrice emphasizes the importance of introspection, recognizing and integrating different parts of oneself, and nurturing feelings of home and connection through personal practice.Creating Spaces for Others:The group discusses how to intentionally welcome people who may feel unsure about their own sense of belonging—whether they've moved, are cross-cultural, or simply feel "in between."Moments of Belonging:Belonging and clarity aren't always permanent—there are fleeting moments where we feel truly at home, which is normal and part of the journey.Connecting to Culture:Beatrice shares personal rituals, like listening to Brazilian music and making comfort food, as ways she grounds herself in her multicultural heritage.Belonging in Professional Life:The challenges of belonging also show up at work, especially when one's multicultural background is misunderstood or undervalued in certain environments.Values as the Anchor:The episode closes with a powerful takeaway: knowing and living by your personal values makes navigating the complexities of cross-cultural life - and belonging - much easier, regardless of where you are.Connect with Beatriz:Podcast: In BetweenishInstagram: @inbetweenishListen on any major podcast platformFinal Thoughts:This episode is for anyone navigating life between cultures or feeling “in-between.” Whether you've moved frequently, grown up with multiple identities, or feel like an outsider in your own hometown, you'll find wisdom and comfort in the honest reflections shared here.If you enjoy Nomadic Diaries, don't forget to like, review, and share the podcast!Support the showHome is Where Your Story Crosses Borders!We aim to inspire expat solutions, by helping you navigate global living with ease and grace.

2012 - Cambridge, Massachusetts. On a June evening in 2012, 16-year-old Charlene Holmes, who went by Chay, was exactly where she was supposed to be—walking home with friends in her own neighborhood in Cambridge—when a car crept down Willow Street. Moments later, shots rang out. She wasn't the intended target. She was a bright, hopeful teenager caught in someone else's crossfire. More than a decade later, police and Chay's family still search for answers — and for the mysterious dark car seen circling the block that night.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik and guest George Rivera break down how founders can scale fast without burning out or missing what matters at home. George shares the Father First Owner OS, the $10,000/hour filter, and practical delegation frameworks that replace task-doing with outcome ownership, standard operating procedures, and clear decision rights. If you're a time-poor, revenue-rich founder, this episode gives you direct, actionable steps to reclaim your calendar, protect family time, and grow with consistency.   About the Guest   George Rivera is the creator of Father First Owner OS and author of Buy Back Time Formula. He helps 7–9 figure founders win back 10–20 hours a week, end key-person dependency, and stay fully present at home—without shrinking the business.   Key Takeaways: Design for outcomes, not tasks: Assign clear owners for results with written SOPs and Loom-style walkthroughs so work stops bouncing back to the founder. Install structure: Replace “everyone reports to me” with a simple executive/manager layer. Ownership becomes clear, and the founder exits the escalation loop. Give decision rights: Predefine thresholds (e.g., approve anything under a set spend) so teams move without micromanagement. Run the $/hour filter: Log two weeks of work. Anything a capable person can do for a small fraction of your effective hourly value gets delegated or outsourced. Systematize the repeats: Every recurring task becomes a one-time documentation effort that compounds time savings. Stay in needle-moving zones: Founder time belongs in growth, relationships, and visibility—not internal admin and QC. Proof it works: George scaled from ~$20M to nearly ~$50M while cutting to ~30 hours/week and taking true off-grid months by applying these frameworks. Why it matters: Moments with your kids don't come back. Optimize the business for presence now to minimize end-of-life regrets and pass down a better operating model at home and at work.   Connect with the Guest  : Website: https://buybacktimeformula.com/Socials: @buybacktimeformula (Facebook and other platforms listed from the site) Instagram | YouTube | LinkedIn | TikTok | Facebook   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Meet Becca

It was Valentine's Day, 2007, when 39-year-old Jodine Serrin's parents stopped by her Carlsbad, California condo to check on her. Moments after walking into her bedroom, they realized something was terribly wrong. Jodine had been brutally attacked—and the man they'd seen inside her home had vanished. For over a decade, her murder went unsolved. No witnesses. No leads. Just a single piece of DNA left behind. In this episode, we examine how cutting-edge forensic technology—and one company's groundbreaking use of genetic genealogy—finally revealed the truth about who killed Jodine Serrin.

Welcome back to The Help Me Abide Podcast. I am truly honored to introduce today's guest.Joining us is Mrs. Rhoda Smith, a faithful missionary who, along with her husband Robert Smith II, has served the Lord for over thirty five years on the mission field. Together, they've had five children, two of whom are living, and have dedicated their lives to sharing the Gospel around the world.The Smiths began their missionary journey in Nigeria, West Africa, where God used them to start a church that continues to bear fruit to this day. From that work, around thirty people have gone out to serve in ministry, with more than sixteen currently pastoring, one serving as an evangelist, and others training in Bible college.Today, the Smiths serve faithfully in Barbados, where they have planted the St. Philip Independent Baptist Church, an inspiring ministry named for the location they serve in. God has blessed their ministry with faithful believers whose spiritual growth, as local pastors say, is “like watching a tree grow.” Slow, steady, but truly miraculous. The kind of growth that only God can bring.The Smiths have also had the joy of witnessing something rare and precious on the island, marriages. In a nation where most homes are led by single parents, they've seen God transform lives and families, and they've even had the honor of helping some couples take that beautiful step of faith together in marriage.Most importantly, through countless visits, Bible studies, and conversations, they've been able to share the truth of salvation by grace and the free gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ with many who had never heard the message clearly before.One of Rhoda's favorite stories is of a dear older woman who began to weep as she heard for the very first time that eternal life is a gift from God already paid for by Jesus. Moments like that remind her why she went, why she serves, and why she must keep sharing the truth.From a big day attendance of 1,200 in Nigeria to 168 in Barbados, God has proven Himself faithful every step of the way. Souls have been saved, lives transformed, and churches established where once there were none.And of course, we can't forget some of the simple joys of life in Barbados, like macaroni pie, chicken curry, and yes, even fish: something the Smiths didn't grow up loving, but now enjoy as a staple of island life.Oh, and one quick note before we begin. Please forgive the audio quality in this episode. We had a little trouble keeping the internet connection stable, so we actually ended up recording over the phone with the phone on speaker, held up to the microphone. But I promise, the message and the heart behind it are worth every bit of it.Are you ready to be encouraged and equipped to abide in Christ? Let's get into the heart of today's episode.RESOURCES:⁠Ed Dunlop Books- Books⁠George Muller Autobiography⁠⁠⁠- Book TEAM:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Podcast Facilitator - Mrs Tammy Goddard ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Host - Jennifer Beil⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Social Media Director - Lisa Grubb ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Music Coordinator - Lindsey Osgood ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Resource Promoter - Connie Marrujo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FOLLOW US:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Webpage⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠

Why do Christians have to go through hardship? Well, trials are like God’s gym. In them, we're broken down so we can be built up. Pastor Greg Laurie shares more in his message focused on Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Notes: Focus verse - Daniel 3 / James 1 Jesus walking with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego through the fiery furnace. Do not despair! You are not alone in your hardship! 1 Peter 4:12Dear friends, don't be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through,as if something strange were happening to you. 1 Peter 4:14Be happy if you are insulted for being a Christian, for then the glorious Spirit of God will come upon you. There are different kinds of trials and testings in the life of the Christian.The devil tempts us to destroy our faith, but God tests us to develop our faith. A faith that cannot be tested is a faith that cannot be trusted.This is clearly shown in the story before us of Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-Nego. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego stood up for what was right, even at the risk of losing their own lives. The stand you make today will determine what kind of stand you will make tomorrow. The most important time of our life is the time of our youth.It is when we set our course and habits are developed. The evening of our life is determined by the morning of it,the end from the beginning. Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-Nego made a stand in a small area.This is why they had the character and strength to make their stand in a larger one. Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-Nego were captured along with Daniel and placed as counselors to the king. One night King Nebuchadnezzar had a troubling dream.When he awoke, he called in all the astrologers and magicians. The prophet, Daniel, humbly gave glory to God, and told the king he had dreamed of a giant statue. Daniel 2:47 (NLT)The King said to Daniel, "Truly, your God is the God of gods, the Lord over kings, a revealer of mysteries, for you have been able to reveal this secret." As chapter 3 opens, around 16–20 years have passed.King Nebuchadnezzar has a 90-foot-tall statue erected, covered in gold of himself! The King ordered that everyone gather for a big celebration.They had an orchestra in place and when they played you better bow, or else! The Lord was very clear about that in the Ten Commandments. Exodus 20:4–5"Do not make idols of any kind; you must never worship or bow down to them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God who will not share your affection with any.” Thousands of Israelites apparently bowed, but not these three.Someone estimated 300,000 people were present. Read Daniel 3:14–18 King Nebuchadnezzar was choosing off God, when he asks,“What god will be able to rescue you?” Nebuchadnezzar had quickly forgotten the God who gave him a dream. Because of his pride, Nebuchadnezzar would soon be brought to his knees. Everybody is a worshipper. The question is not if we worship or not.It’s who we worship. Because Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego worshipped God, they could not worship the statue. You will end up serving who you worship. Daniel 3:18”Your Majesty can be sure that we will never serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have set up." A moment at the altar of sexual experimentation can lead to a lifetime of regret. Moments spent worshipping God can lead to a lifetime of service. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego were adamant, they were not going to bow. This will happen in the life of every Christian.Sooner or later, you too will be asked to bow before some idol. These boys were facing peer pressure on an epic scale. Despite the fact that everyone in Babylon bowed,Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego stood up straight. They figured, "Better to burn on earth and bow in Heaven, than to bow on earth, and burn in Hell!” One day, the Disciples came to Jesus, excited that they could cast out demons. Luke 10:20 (NLT)“But don't rejoice because evil spirits obey you; rejoice because your names are registered in heaven." Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego were not sure they would survive this, but they were sure of God’s promises.Daniel 3:17–18 Either God would preserve them, or He would be waiting on the other side. Upon hearing of this insubordination on the part of these three teens, the King flies into a rage. Read Daniel 3:19–25 Nebuchadnezzar said the fourth man looked “like the Son of God!” In this Christophany, Jesus walked with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego through this fiery furnace. Isaiah 43:2 (NIV)When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. Jesus is there with you, each step of the way. Jesus said, "Lo, I am with you, even until the end of the world." James 1:2–4When all kinds of trials and temptations crowd into your lives, my brothers, don't treat them as intruders but friends! Realize that they come to test your faith and to produce in you the quality of endurance. But let the process go on, until that endurance is fully developed, and you will find you have become men of mature character, men of integrity with no weak spots. Staying cool, when things get hot. How do you do that? It’s similar to going to the gym and working out. A lot of folks find themselves getting tired and lethargic and say, “I’m just getting old!”Yes, and it maybe you are just out of shape too. Maybe you need to get busy and do something with your faith. Jesus said, “Give and it shall be given unto you.” Trials take our faith from the realm of theory to reality. James 1:3 (NKJV)Knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. Perseverance! (Greek: Hypomonē) We know about the suffering of Joseph. Psalm 105:18 (NLT)They bruised his feet with fetters and placed his neck in an iron collar. “As he was laid in iron, iron entered his soul.” The very thing you want out of your life may be the thing you need in your life. If you want to grow spiritually, iron must enter your soul. James 1:4 (NKJV)Let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. We may pray, “Lord, use me for Your glory! Bless me, Lord!”Then a trial comes. James 1:2 (NKJV)My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials,No two experiences are alike. How did they do this?By the decisions and commitments they made years earlier. An idol is anyone or anything that takes God’s place in our life. 1 John 5:21 (NKJV)Little children, keep yourselves from idols. One day another world leader will come along and demand worship.The bible calls him Antichrist. He too will erect an image and demand worship, placing the image in the temple. Jesus promises to deliver us from this time of tribulation. Revelation 3:10 (NKJV)"Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.” Revelation 3:11 (NKJV)"Behold, I am coming quickly! Jesus says, ”Behold, I am coming quickly!”Revelation 3:11 Nebuchadnezzar saw God work. Maybe God is trying to get your attention today! Jesus died on the cross for your sin so you could know God.

On Halloween night 2004, roommates Adriane Insogna, Leslie Mazzara and Lauren Meanza handed out candy to trick-or-treaters. The three women settled in for bed around 10:30 PM anticipating a typical start to their work week the next morning. Lauren was awoken out of a deep sleep at 2:00 a.m. when her dog started barking. Moments later, she heard a blood-curdling scream coming from upstairs. She tried to call for help but there was no dial tone. Lauren managed to get outside of the house and hide in a row of bushes as she heard the sound of someone scampering away from the home and into the darkness. Lauren went back inside to find her two friends, Adriane and Leslie, lying unresponsive in pools of blood. Investigators got to work trying to find the person who broke into the home at 2631 Dorset Street in the middle of the night and murdered two women, but they set out on the wrong track from the onset. Adriane and Leslie's killer walked among them for over a year undiscovered. When authorities finally did uncover the killer's identity, they learned his motive was connected to a love interest …but not one involving either of his victims. Although the timing of the grisly crimes was uncanny, the double-homicide had nothing to do with Halloween.
