The modern love economy turns seduction into calculus. Beats that once celebrated devotion now sound like quarterly reports scored by 808s. GloRilla's defiance, Nicki Minaj's audit of desire, Lil Kim's monetized mantra—each line announces a shift from victimhood to strategy. Yet beneath the glitter hides an inversion of the oldest script: men no longer appear as sole hunters. Women fluent in the dialect of scarcity sometimes pursue wounded men as capital—resources measured in status, income, or insecurity. 

Did you grow up in a home with a favourite child? Do you secretly favour one of your own kids? We unpack the expert opinions and whether or not parental favouritism actually matters in the long run. Plus, we deep-dive into Jennifer Lawrence's recent The New Yorker profile where she shares what her life looks like postpartum and how returning to work has left her feeling like a fundamentally different person. Relate, much? And, from Jennifer Aniston opening up about adoption to Hailey Bieber sharing the secret that helps her raise her son, it seems like the A-listers are finally peeling back the curtain on the unvarnished truth about having kids.

Dr. Jay and Amazing Larry conclude their look at remez, how rabbis teach the Bible in shorthand. In this episode, we realize that our Heavenly Father even uses this shorthand technique to reveal profound truths. The Father reveals at His Son's Transfiguration (Matthew 17) how Jesus fulfills the entire Hebrew scriptures.Frothy Thoughts with the Truth BaristaVisit HighBeam Ministry, The Truth BaristaCheck out the Frothy Thoughts Blog!Check out The Truth Barista Books!Check out The Truth Barista YouTube Channel!

Pastor Walt continues Thinking Out Loud on the Woundedness of Men. Pastor Walt tells us that wounded men have characteristics that have developed as a result of their woundedness … they can't have intimacy with other men, they can't receive correction from older men, they don't have self-esteem, they have no confidence, they are confused, they don't know what their role in the home or society is. Pastor Walt shares that the Church can help wounded men heal from and be free of these characteristics.Thinking Out Loud with Walt McFaddenWalt McFadden, Pastor of Cityview Church in Minneapolis, is a no-nonsense kind of guy who takes no prisoners when it comes to the Truth. Pastor Walt likes to ‘Think Out Loud' about the Bible and how it can impact a community through the proper application of Spiritual Principles. You will find an honest response to some of the most difficult questions facing Christians today. Visit Cityview Church

I think it's so beautiful that God designed people with such precision and intent. Mothers can recognize the cry of their baby amongst others, and children, even in the womb, will recognize their mother's voice. As someone who has not had children yet, I know I would struggle to recognize the cry of one kid in a group! In today's word, pastor Mark teaches how God speaks with intent to each of us in different moments. We may choose whether or not we listen to what God has to share with us, but we should be aware that He is always speaking to us in some manner. Consider how you might pay attention to His voice today.

Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه (S41) All of our mothers رضي الله عنهم agreed with Aisha رضي الله عنها that Uthmaan رضي الله عنه needed to be avenged. Her followers were righteous people, Talha and Zubayr رضي الله عنهم said the followers were the best of people. Our mother Aisha رضي الله عنها was the most qualified of the Messenger's ﷺ wives to lead here. The only difference in opinion between our mothers رضي الله عنهم was whether they should go to Madinah or Basra. Although this was a sad time in our history, it boosts our Iman. How? For many words of the Messenger ﷺ were, as always, proven to be true.

Is technology the source or salve of social isolation? Given the realities of increasing division, the epidemic of loneliness, and unwanted isolation today, how should we think about the theological, ethical, and spiritual dimensions of the human experience of aloneness?“AI technologies aren't capable of creating conditions in which grace can happen—it's endemic to personhood.”This episode is part 3 of a 5-part series, SOLO, which explores the theological, moral, and psychological dimensions of loneliness, solitude, and being alone.In this episode, sociologist Felicia Wu Song joins Macie Bridge to discuss the sociology of solitude, loneliness, and isolation, framed by today's most pressing technological challenges.Drawing from her work on digital culture and AI, Song distinguishes between isolation, loneliness, and generative solitude—what she calls “positive aloneness.” She explores how technology both connects and disconnects us, what's lost when care becomes automated, and why the human face-to-face encounter remains vital for grace and dignity. Together they consider the allure of AI companionship, the “better-than-nothing” argument, and the church's local, embodied role in a digitized age. Song invites listeners to rediscover curiosity, self-reflection, and the spiritual discipline of solitude as essential practices for recovering our humanity amid the noise of the crowd.Helpful Links and ResourcesFelicia Wu Song, Restless Devices: Recovering Personhood, Presence, and Place in the Digital Age — https://www.ivpress.com/restless-devicesAllison Pugh, The Last Human Job: The Work of Connecting in a Disconnected World — https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691240817/the-last-human-jobDavid Whyte, “Solace: The Art of Asking the Beautiful Question” — https://www.amazon.com/Solace-Art-Asking-Beautiful-Question/dp/1932887377Sherry Turkle, Alone Together: Why We Expect More from Technology and Less from Each Other — https://www.sherryturkle.com/alone-togetherEpisode Highlights“Even though I study technology, I'm really interested in what it means to be human.”“What happens when we have technologies that always bring the crowd? The crowd is always with us all the time.”“Loneliness is the gap between what I think I should have and what I actually have.”“AI technologies aren't capable of creating conditions in which grace can happen—it's endemic to personhood.”“We should cut ourselves a lot of slack. Feeling lonely is very human. It doesn't mean something's wrong with me.”About Felicia Wu SongFelicia Wu Song is a sociologist, writer, and speaker, and was Professor of Sociology at Westmont College for many years. She is author of Restless Devices: Recovering Personhood, Presence, and Place in the Digital Age. Her research examines digital technology, culture, and Christian formation, exploring how contemporary media ecosystems shape our social and spiritual lives. Learn more about her work at https://feliciawusong.com/Show NotesTechnology, Humanity, and SolitudeSong describes her sociological work at the intersection of culture, technology, and spirituality.She reflects on how technology reshapes our sense of identity, community, and human meaning.“Even though I study technology, I'm really interested in what it means to be human.”The question of loneliness emerges from the expectation of constant accessibility and permanent connection.The Crowd Is Always With Us“What happens when we have technologies that always bring the crowd?”Song critiques how digital connectivity erases silence and solitude, making stillness feel uncomfortable.Explores the challenge of practicing ancient spiritual disciplines like silence in the digital age.Connection and DisconnectionSong traces the historical celebration of communication technology's power to transcend time and space.Notes the danger of normalizing constant connectivity: “If you can do it, you should do it.”Examines how connection can become a cultural norm that stigmatizes solitude.Defining Loneliness, Isolation, and Solitude“Social isolation is objective; loneliness is subjective; solitude is generative.”Distinguishes “positive aloneness” as a space for self-conversation and divine encounter.References David Whyte and the Desert Fathers and Mothers as guides to solitude.Youth, Boredom, and the Portal of LonelinessDiscusses the value of “episodic loneliness” as a portal to self-discovery and spiritual growth.Connects solitude to creativity and reflection through the “boredom literature.”AI, Care, and the Better-Than-Nothing ArgumentExamines the emergence of AI chatbots and companionship tools.Engages Allison Pugh's critique of “the better-than-nothing argument.”“It sounds altruistic, but it actually leads to deeper and deeper inequality.”Raises justice and resource questions around replacing human teachers and therapists with chatbots.The Limits of Machine Grace“AI technologies aren't capable of creating conditions in which grace can happen—it's endemic to personhood.”Explores embodiment, dignity, and the irreplaceable value of human presence.Critiques the assumption that “being seen” by a machine equates to being known by a person.AI, Divinity, and ProjectionNotes human tendency to attribute divine or human qualities to machines.References Sherry Turkle's early studies on human-computer relationships.“We are so relational that we'll even take a clunky computer program and give it human-like qualities.”Faith, Solitude, and Social ConditionsSong emphasizes the sociological dimension: environments shape human flourishing.“Let's not make it so hard for people to experience solitude.”Advocates for embodied, place-based communities as antidotes to digital disembodiment.Loneliness, Curiosity, and GraceEncourages gentleness toward oneself in moments of loneliness.“Feeling lonely is very human. It doesn't mean something's wrong with me.”Promotes curiosity and acceptance as pathways to spiritual and personal growth.Production NotesThis podcast featured Felicia Wu SongEdited and Produced by Evan RosaHosted by Evan RosaProduction Assistance by Hope Chun, Alexa Rollow and Emily BrookfieldA Production of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School https://faith.yale.edu/aboutSupport For the Life of the World podcast by giving to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture: https://faith.yale.edu/give

In-utero procedures can yield better long-term outcomes for the baby. However, fetal surgery relies on instruments developed for other disciplines. An early-stage startup in Maryland is developing in-utero instruments to improve outcomes for both fetus and mother.Fetal Therapy Technologies CEO Selena Shirkin joins Key Tech's Andy Rogers for Episode 42 of the MedTech Speed to Data podcast to discuss startup innovation in fetal surgery.Need to knowFetal surgeries carry risks — In addition to uterine damage complicating future pregnancies, 40% of surgeries have a risk of preterm birth.Few specialized tools are used — In the field's forty-year history, the FDA has only approved the Karl Storz Fetoscope for use in fetal surgeries.Off-label device use is widespread — Equipment borrowed from adjacent fields like laparoscopy and neurosurgery weren't indicated for use in the uterus.The nitty-grittyShirkin and Chief Technology Officer Eric McAlexander founded Fetal Therapy Technologies as students in Johns Hopkins University's biomedical engineering graduate program. While shadowing surgeons, they saw how off-label instruments complicated procedures.“I watched a surgeon using a grasper and suture,” Shirkin recalled. “The suture was falling out of the grasper because they didn't fit. It took time in the surgery to make sure that didn't occur.”Observations like these led the team to wonder why the field lacked optimized tools. “As biomedical engineers,” Shirkin says, “we asked ourselves what if we created those purpose-built instruments that actually make these procedures safer?”They quickly ran into the commercial limits of a market as small as fetal surgery. With only one device FDA-approved for in-uterine procedures, surgeons have no choice but to use devices off-label. So Fetal Therapy Technologies is flipping the script by leveraging the broader applications of an instrument designed for fetal surgeries.“In a way, our company solves two problems at once,” Shirkin says. “A company that creates a fetal innovation [that] also raises a much broader market of general microsurgery.”Their first product is a uterine port. “Similar to laparoscopic surgeries,” Shirkin explains, “that involves inserting a port through the abdomen into the uterus. [The new] port is designed to leverage the elastic properties of the uterine environment to make entry safer than the current clinical standard.”For broader commercialization, they aim to demonstrate equivalence to predicate devices and qualify as a 510(k) Class II device following benchtop and animal studies. Approval for fetal surgeries is a longer journey, but the company can build on its data before entering human trials.Data that made the difference:Shirkin offered insights for other students considering an entrepreneurial future in MedTech.Leverage university resources. “We work incredibly closely with the Johns Hopkins Center for Fetal Therapy,” Shirkin says. We've also gotten opportunities from Johns Hopkins Technology Ventures.”Build a network of advisors. “We are supported by a very broad variety of clinical, technical, and business mentors across the Johns Hopkins ecosystem and beyond.”Tap into local funding sources. “There's a lot of collegiate business plan competitions that we've been very successful [raising] non-dilutive funds that way. There are also state-level grants. We just received a Baltimore Innovation Initiative grant.”

While establishment politicians and woke school boards push "diversity and inclusion," America's Christian mothers are discovering the brutal reality behind Islam's so-called peaceful facade—and they're terrified for their families' future. The same Islamic doctrines that justify honor killings, child marriage, and religious supremacy are now being taught as "cultural enrichment" in classrooms across America, forcing mothers to choose between their children's safety and society's demand for multicultural submission. ____________ VERITY METALS Convert your 401k or IRA into physical gold to protect your retirement from a volatile stock market and inflation.

I've been doing lots of writing and recording, but questioning myself about sharing. Life feels kind of intense lately, and that stops me from following through on sharing what sometimes feels like too much vulnerability. It's also true to say that sometimes I wait for things to settle that I've made a podcast episode about -before I share. Sometimes that wait time makes me see it's better not to share, and sometimes it feels like the timing is perfect because of waiting. I have a few of those, that might soon be "old enough", that I can upload and stay comfortable.It's accurate to say that I make this podcast for myself. I reference episodes probably more than anyone, for multiple reasons. But I do share with people I know and meet, so I have to find balance with what I want, and what I do.This episode isn't necessarily so much about self-awareness as it is just audio that matters to me. This is the first time I heard my Grandma's voice.My mother is my everything, and her parents were so important to her. My mother talks about them often, and she was so keen for me to listen to this recording when she found it. As I listened I thought it was fascinating how different their world is from the one we are in now. My grandpa would have loved to be alive now and if he were he'd have a podcast of his own! This is the grandpa that I am so much alike. I even have his nose.Later in the audio they describe some tourist trips they went on, and some relatives of my Grandpa's Mothers they visited. Maybe this will be a different kind of podcast that is a welcome change from the norm.Sending you my love if you're reading this.

With the recent tragic death of Christian and political activist Charlie Kirk, it is more essential than ever for us as Christians to move forward in civil dialogue with those who are not Christians about what it means to be human. From Ancient Greece and Rome to our culture today, it is clear that a lack of understanding of who God really inevitably results in not properly understanding who we are as human beings. This week we continue our conversation with historian, author, and mother Nadya Williams about what we can learn from history about the sanctity and value of human life and be encouraged to hold fast to our confession of faith, for a world that needs real hope. Nadya Williams (from the publisher website): Nadya Williams (PhD, Princeton) walked away from academia after fifteen years as a professor of history and classics. She is now a homeschool mom, book review editor at Current, and a contributing editor at Providence magazine. She is the author of Cultural Christians in the Early Church (Zondervan Academic, 2023), and numerous articles and essays in Current, Plough, Christianity Today, Front Porch Republic, Fairer Disputations, Law and Liberty, Church Life Journal, and others. She and her husband, Dan, are parents to one adult son and two children still at home. They live and homeschool in Ashland, a small town near Cleveland, Ohio.Mothers, Children, and the Body Politic (book).

In this profound episode of the I Am Dad Podcast, host Kenneth Braswell sits down with David Mandel, internationally recognized expert on domestic violence and child safety, and author of Stop Blaming Mothers and Ignoring Fathers. As the founder of the Safe & Together Institute, Mandel challenges the systems that fail to hold men accountable and overburden women—while offering real tools for change. The two discuss the power of lived experience, unpack generational trauma, and call for the elevation of the "father fullness" narrative. Mandel shares how fatherhood shaped his life and how growing up with a decent, emotionally present father informed his approach to transforming child welfare and domestic violence systems. From confronting the myth of the “absent father” to reimagining accountability, this episode is a vital listen for practitioners, advocates, and parents working toward healing and justice. Mandel's insight is not just theoretical—it's global, practical, and grounded in compassion.

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with Aamir Hussain about his debut novel, Under the Full and Crescent Moon (Dundurn, 2025). In a battle of words and beliefs, a young woman must defend her city against zealotry during the Islamic Golden Age.After his long-time scribe retires, Khadija's father, the city's leading jurist, offers his introverted daughter the opportunity to take on the role of his assistant. In accepting, Khadija is thrust into her community, the medieval hilltop city of Medina'tul-Agham, where she, as a motherless young woman, has spent little time. Led by Imam Fatima and guided by the Circle of Mothers, it is a matriarchy — the only one in the empire. Though forced to set aside her quiet life among the books and parchments of her family home, Khadija thrives, finding her power and place in the world with the support of her new friends and strong female mentors.Yet Khadija's idyllic new life is shattered when fanatical forces weaponize Sharia law to threaten the very fabric of the society. Using only the power of her parchment and quill, Khadija must win the support of the people and write fatwas to fight against injustice, or the peace and prosperity of her city will be nothing more than a footnote in the annals of history. About Aamir Hussain: Aamir Hussain was born into a family of strong women in Pakistan, grew up in Saudi Arabia, and moved to Canada when he was fifteen years old. He works in the tech sector in Toronto. Under the Full and Crescent Moon is his debut novel. He lives in Milton, Ontario. Learn more about your ad choices.

One of those women is Celeste, played by Kristolyn Lloyd, a Radcliffe-educated student who has her own thoughts on what it means to achieve liberation. Wohl, Flood, and Lloyd discuss the show.

Mothers who opt for open adoption relationships hope for a future with their child — but it doesn't always end up that way. Author Nicole Chung joins host Krys Boyd to discuss why open adoptions are more complicated than it may look from the outset, why some mothers find themselves shut out of their biological children's lives, and how the experience of birth mothers in these arrangements has been understudied. Her article “When Adoption Promises Are Broken” was published in The Atlantic.   Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

This week I sat down with our new best friend and community-building-sherpa, Dominica Ruta for one of my favorite episodes to date. Dominica is a fellow cyclebraker, Mama, and writer of the recent novel "All the Mothers," where she explores blending families based on shared motherhood, co-carrying the load, de-shaming our shiitake and love transcending the forms we were told it comes in. We gushed about the invisible oxygen that keeps so many of us alive: connection, female friendship, being witnessed, and low-lift hangs that transform us from the inside out. I share more than I ever have about my journey from nuclear family into intimacy with other women, and we address how mothers can have both, deep intimate nourishing connection with other women without leaving their marriages. We explored how relational needs drive so much of our behavior (yes, even the things we judge ourselves for), why safe community is not a luxury but a survival strategy, and how healing often happens not in a therapist's office, but sitting cross-legged on a friend's rug watching "Real Housewives."Domenica and I also wandered into the land of men—how they too need spaces that allow emotional safety, and why building emotionally intelligent communities shouldn't be a female-only burden. We talked about how Gen Z is calling BS on emotional repression (bless them), how motherhood can become a portal to deeper self-love, and why storytelling is the medicine our publishing world still doesn't always know how to package.We celebrated the kind of joy that happens when women drop the performance and find each other again in the dark. We honored the ache of needing village, the courage of saying “I can't do this alone,” and the quiet radicalism of showing up vulnerable—on purpose.If you're craving community, tired of pretending you're fine, curious about how motherhood changes not just your schedule but your soul, or longing to feel less alone in your need for others—this conversation is a hand extended.And go buy this book! It'll entertain and change you. https://bookshop.org/p/books/all-the-mothers-a-novel-domenica-ruta/aba4844fa4b548f1?utm_source=google&utm_medium=pmax&utm_campaign=16243454879&utm_content=&utm_term={searchterm}&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=16243514117&gbraid=0AAAAACfld43lNpqlWjLTp-Kvy2yTgbV_g&gclid=CjwKCAjwgeLHBhBuEiwAL5gNEbfo1wIhBLXfewCQVz3vX5tW0npvV0hr4sLzZWHb3nTMmCgIO00cZxoCqCMQAvD_BwE

Powerful Morning Prayer Devotional

Steve welcomes Ivey Gruber, President of the Michigan Talk Network, for a heartfelt and eye-opening conversation about faith, family, and the state of our culture. The two share their personal journeys of growing deeper in their faith and why planting firm roots in the church has never been more important. Then, the discussion shifts to Michigan's marijuana boom, dispensaries seemingly on every corner, and the troubling findings from a Michigan State University study showing that 1 in 6 pregnant women are consuming marijuana. Steve and Ivey talk about what this says about where we're headed as a society, and the moral and health consequences of normalizing drug use.

Send us a textYour postpartum clients aren't just "busy"—they're breaking down. Here's the truth your assessments are missing: The invisible mental load is a chronic state of cognitive overload that's hijacking her body. This isn't a failure of willpower; it's a physiological response to chronic stress that causes everything from unexplained anxiety and low milk supply to pelvic pain and insomnia. Maranda reveals how this unacknowledged cognitive burden triggers the HPA axis, shuts down nervous system regulation, and creates a cascade of physical symptoms. Every postpartum provider—from lactation consultants to functional health experts—must recognize this root cause. Stop treating the symptoms (the fatigue, the rage, the anxiety) and start addressing the overload. Learn the red flags and the Postpartum Restoration Method framework to deliver the lasting solutions your clients desperately need.Check out the episode on the blog HERE: https://postpartumu.com/podcast/the-invisible-mental-load-why-mothers-are-breaking-down-ep-238/Key time stamps: 1:03 -  Defining The Invisible Mental Load & The Shocking Case of Low Milk Supply3:33 - The Physiology of Cognitive Overload: HPA Axis and Systemic Effects6:53 - Clinical Patterns Providers Miss: The Hyper-Vigilant Manager, Overwhelmed Perfectionist, and Depleted Default Parent9:37 - Pelvic Floor Tension & The Bonding "Disconnection"22:15 - The Red Flags and "Better Questions" for Assessment NEXT STEPS:

WELCOME, MAMAS, TO THE MAMA MOVEMENT PODCAST.In this conversation, Today Dr. Margot Lowy and myself delve into the often overlooked topic of maternal ambivalence, exploring the complex emotional landscape of motherhood.Dr. Lowy emphasizes the importance of acknowledging both the loving and bitter feelings that come with being a mother, advocating for open discussions about these emotions to foster genuine connections and understanding. The conversation also addresses common misconceptions about ambivalence, clarifying that it is not indifference but rather a rich tapestry of feelings that mothers experience.We cover the following:Maternal ambivalence encompasses all feelings of motherhood.Acknowledging dark feelings is crucial for genuine mothering.Societal expectations make it hard to discuss negative emotions.Finding a safe space to talk about feelings is essential.Ambivalence is often misunderstood as indifference.Mothers experience both love and bitterness simultaneously.Dark feelings can lead to personal transformation.It's important to embrace the full spectrum of emotions.Open discussions about motherhood can reduce shame.Maternal ambivalence is a common experience for all mothers.ABOUT MARGOT Margo Lowy, PhD, is a psychotherapist specializing in mothering. She is the author of MATERNAL AMBIVALENCE: The Loving Moments & Bitter Truths of Motherhood (Post Hill Press) and holds a doctorate from the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, where she researched maternal ambivalence. Dr. Lowy is the author of a previous academic book, The Maternal Experience: Encounters with Ambivalence and Love, and has spoken about maternal ambivalence at universities and in media interviews worldwide.

Mothers and children were devalued in ancient Greco-Roman society. The advent of  Christianity, however, introduced a radically different perspective - that every human being at every level of society has value and worth because we are all made in the image of God, the Imago Dei. What can we learn from the early Christians about valuing human life and what it means to live as a Christian in the world but not of it? We talk with historian, author, and mother Nadya Williams about these and other issues pertaining to the value and worth of human beings both in ancient societies and in our own. Nadya Williams (from the publisher website): Nadya Williams (PhD, Princeton) walked away from academia after fifteen years as a professor of history and classics. She is now a homeschool mom, book review editor at Current, and a contributing editor at Providence magazine. She is the author of Cultural Christians in the Early Church (Zondervan Academic, 2023), and numerous articles and essays in Current, Plough, Christianity Today, Front Porch Republic, Fairer Disputations, Law and Liberty, Church Life Journal, and others.

Tami Simon and depth psychologist Vanessa Bennett explore the psyche's need to experience initiation in our key life transitions, using resentment as a focal point for healing, how to change our unhealthy patterns in relationships, and reclaiming personal agency. What relationship myth causes us the most suffering? According to depth psychologist Vanessa Bennett, it's this: "That if you're not fulfilled by parenthood, sex, or your relationships, then there's something wrong with you." Why? Because it's often the fault of our culture, and not you personally, that's to blame. This week, Tami Simon welcomes the author of The Motherhood Myth to discuss the hidden pressures and misconceptions surrounding parenthood and intimate partnership—and how looking at your resentments is a surprisingly direct way to discover the roots of the wounds that unconsciously drive unhappiness in your relationships. Join us to explore: At your life's turning points, why your unconscious may invite chaos or trauma The societal roots of discontent in parenthood and intimate relationships How Vanessa's own experiences—from her neighborhood's destruction by fire to everyday life with her daughter and husband—illustrate how to grow and heal "If you're good, I'm good. And if you're not, I'm not"—codependency explained The "choose me" wound—how we abandon ourselves in relationships and how to reintegrate The "Consent Tool," a practice to help restore safety and intimacy in your relationships, and more If you've ever felt frustrated about the demands of your relationships—obvious or hidden—this episode will spark a wealth of "aha!" moments and insights for change.
