Podcasts about My Story

The Bible reminds us that God remains on His throne, even amidst difficult times in the world or trying personal circumstances in our own lives. Despite this, however, the storms of life still have a tendency to challenge our certainty. What should we do in those moments? Join us this week as we continue our “This is My Story” message series and explore how doubt is not something to hide or fear, how it can actually be the doorway to a deeper, more grounded faith, and how Jesus meets us in our uncertainty with patience and mercy.

Sermon by Rick ThieleFor our current sermon series - My Story, My SongScripture Reading: Luke 19:37-40

Diagnosed with Autism and ADHD at 42: My Story as a Highly Sensitive Person who also happens to be AuDHD.In this episode of SelfKind – a podcast for Highly Sensitive and Neurodivergent People – I'm sharing a deeply personal story: my experience of being assessed and diagnosed with autism and ADHD (also known as AuDHD) at the age of 42. As someone who has long identified as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), I'm unpacking what led me to seek assessment, how it felt to be diagnosed later in life, and why understanding your sensitivity – no matter the label – truly matters.Have you ever wondered if your high sensitivity could be something more? Are you questioning whether neurodivergence might be part of your story too?

Send us a textStorytelling is the heartbeat of cultural education. When students encounter stories from different backgrounds, something magical happens—they develop empathy, affirm their identities, and sharpen critical thinking skills that extend far beyond classroom walls.Throughout this episode, we explore why multicultural stories are non-negotiable components of effective education. Stories engage the emotional centers of our brains, creating deeper connections to content than facts alone ever could. I share my experience using Maya Angelou's work about a young Xhosa girl and her pet chicken—a seemingly simple narrative that sparked profound conversations about cultural similarities and differences without judgment. We also examine the beloved Anansi the Spider folktales that resonate with students of all ages, demonstrating how traditional stories carry timeless wisdom across generations.Finding authentic cultural stories requires intentionality. Seek out authors writing from lived experiences rather than those merely observing from the outside. Invite community members—parents, neighbors, local leaders—to share oral histories that might otherwise go untold, especially as books continue to be banned across the country. I provide a step-by-step guide to implementing the powerful "My Name, My Story" exercise in your classroom tomorrow, walking you through how to model vulnerability, facilitate meaningful partner discussions, and guide whole-group reflections that build community while honoring diversity.Ready to transform your approach to cultural education? Download my name and narrative handout from the show notes, or explore my newly discounted mini-courses designed to help you implement these practices with confidence. Your students' stories are the curriculum—let's honor them together by creating classrooms where every narrative matters.Maya Angelou's Book: My Painted House, My Friendly Chicken and Me COME SAY Hey!!

Welcome to this week's Indie Artist Music Hustle with Blonde Intelligence. I am your host, Ms. Roni, and I always seek to give you exquisite cranial repertoire. Maxx Osama takes us behind the curtain of his dual life as both a culinary creator and musical artist in this captivating episode of Indie Artist Music Hustle. The Tennessee-based independent musician opens up about how his early passion for poetry evolved into hip-hop artistry, creating a foundation for authentic storytelling that defines his sound today."I cook on beats and I cook in restaurants," Maxx shares with refreshing candor, explaining how he balances his day job at a buffet-style restaurant with his true calling as a musician. With over 100 professional releases under his belt, his prolific output comes from a place of genuine creative urgency – often recording two to three tracks daily when inspiration strikes.The conversation dives deep into the evolving landscape of hip-hop, where Maxx navigates the delicate balance between lyrical complexity and mainstream appeal. He thoughtfully addresses how today's music industry often feels "more like a popularity contest than a talent contest," yet remains committed to versatility without compromising his artistic integrity. His recent singles "Third Degree" and "My Story" showcase this adaptability, with the latter evolving into an ongoing series born from personal loss and emotional expression.What stands out most is Maxx's global perspective on artistic collaboration. Having worked with producers and artists from Australia, the UK, and across the United States, he embraces the borderless nature of modern music creation. His involvement in "The Heist" – an ambitious project bringing together 20 artists through Shadow Works Entertainment – demonstrates his commitment to community and creative partnership.Whether discussing the challenges of capturing audience attention in the first few seconds of a track, the implications of AI in music production, or the authenticity behind rap beefs, Maxx offers nuanced insights that will resonate with creators and music lovers alike. Search "Maxx Osama" on any streaming platform to experience his music, and reach out for collaborations regardless of genre or geography – this is an artist genuinely open to connection and creative exchange.Support the show

Healing from the impact of loss is truly a journey. There is no destination when it comes to grief. Every experience is unique because of our individual circumstances. It is impossible to create a timeline for this process because it  requires something  different for each individual. So, we describe the “journey” one story at a time. Today's episode is Dottie's story. Her “voice of experience” may encourage you on a healing pathway.     Resources                                                                                                                                          Podcast Episode highlights a blog by Dottie Menkhaus  https://www.motherlessdaughtersministry.com/2021/06/02/journey-of-healing-part-1-vulnerability-in-sharing-my-story/                                                                  Journey Retreat Information:           https://www.motherlessdaughtersministry.com/the-journey-retreat-healing-the-wounds-of-mother-loss-one-step-at-a-time-residential-retreat/What We Offer:                       https://www.motherlessdaughtersministry.com/services/ Donate to our ministry:         https://www.motherlessdaughtersministry.com/giving/Get involved in our ministry:   https://www.motherlessdaughtersministry.com/giving/volunteer/ Schedule a 15 min consultation call to ask Danyetta (Executive Director) any questions you might have about the retreat: https://calendly.com/conversationswithdanyetta/15-minute-consultation-journey-retreat?fbclid=IwY2xjawJcEptleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHRcafK4eAmq6E5nMB6za5L9ixtvhlqfXbjKGhsiLSzAlVwnDfZsordjfLA_aem_EyuyyhKabP4z_YJXEgqCUA&month=2025-04 Motherless Daughters Ministry is a 501(c) (3) non-profit that depends on the generous support of donations from listeners like you.  To donate or sign up for our newsletter and more resources, visit our website atwww.motherlessdaughtesministry.com  Support the showThanks for listening!
