Podcasts about navigating life

I get asked all the time how to keep sex and intimacy alive after having a baby, so in this episode I'm breaking down what really happens during this huge transition. Last week we talked about sex during pregnancy, and today we're looking at what comes next, because bringing home a baby reshapes your relationship in ways you can't always prepare for. Whether you're expecting your first or remembering those early days, I want you to feel seen, supported, and reminded that nothing is "wrong" with you if things feel off. I'll walk you through what the research shows about why so many couples struggle, and the practical habits that help the strongest partnerships find their way back to connection. My goal is to help you understand what's normal, what's fixable, and how you can rebuild intimacy with compassion - for yourself and for each other. Book mentioned: And Baby Makes Three

What if being faithful means being misunderstood—and sometimes disliked—by people you care about? We explore Jesus' words in John 15 with open hands and steady hearts, tracing how the world's value system collides with the way of the kingdom and why that clash shouldn't surprise us. From a Korean pastor jailed for preaching to a candid story about a friendship strained by truth-telling, we sit with the tension of conviction and compassion and ask what it costs to be a light rather than be liked.We unpack how Scripture describes the “world” as a values network under the sway of the evil one, why a changed life looks confusing to those who don't share your compass, and how labels like narrow, unloving, or canceled often mask deeper spiritual resistance. Along the way, we highlight the difference between suffering for Christ and suffering for rudeness, calling us to hold biblical convictions with a gentle, humble posture. The story of C. Everett Koop, a devoted follower of Jesus who faced criticism from opposite sides—first for pro-life convictions grounded in the image of God, then for championing dignified care for people with HIV/AIDS—shows how costly, consistent love can defy tribal lines.We close with three imperatives for resilient faith: establish and maintain convictions rooted in Scripture, maintain a loving posture that refuses contempt, and let God use your steady witness—even when it seems to fall flat. Stephen's influence on Saul reminds us that seeds planted under pressure can become harvests we'll never see. If you're wrestling with being misunderstood, or sensing the pull to quiet your light, this conversation offers courage, clarity, and hope. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs strength today, and leave a review to help others find the message.

What if the secret to real change is not trying harder but staying connected to the One who gives life? We open John 15 and let Jesus' picture of the vine and branches reframe how transformation actually works, why pruning isn't punishment, and how fruit grows without the hustle mindset. Instead of a checklist of virtues, we talk about fruit as evidence of life—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self‑control—flowing from a steady, relational connection to Christ.We walk through the cycle Jesus shows us: abide, bear fruit, face pruning, then bear more fruit. Pruning hurts because God cuts back what steals strength, exposes what we rely on besides Him, and invites us into trust. But pruning is preparation, not rejection. That perspective reshapes seasons of suffering and discomfort into spaces where God readies us for greater impact. Along the way, we press into identity: being loved as the Father loves the Son. That love becomes the anchor for confidence, forgiveness, and generosity, and it spills into how we build church culture—wide welcome, honest grace, and open‑handed giving that fuels mission.Abiding isn't vague. We spell out rhythms that help you make your home in Christ: resting in His promises, letting His words remain in you, building simple habits that outlast willpower, and removing hindrances that numb your attention and steal your roots. If you've felt stuck between who you are and who you sense you're called to become, this conversation offers a better path—less striving, more staying. Subscribe, share with a friend who's weary of white‑knuckle religion, and leave a review to tell us how you're choosing to abide this week.

Life is about engaging with the choices you can make right now, and embracing uncertainty with the courage to choose again and again.In this episode of Real Things Living, host Brigitte Cutshall speaks with entrepreneur and author, Hussein Hallak, about his book "The Dark Art of Life Mastery" and his mission to turn lived experience into legacy. They explore why making choices—big or small—matters more than getting them “right,” how curiosity and resilience shape our growth, and why human connection will always outweigh technology's advances. This conversation is a reminder that the real art of life is not about control, but about choosing fully in the present moment—again and again.3 Takeaways:(1) Choice is a skill—the more often you practice making decisions, the more confident and resilient you become.(2) Small choices matter—you're not stuck; if something isn't working, you can make a different choice in the moment.(3) Human stories connect us—technology can assist, but it can't replace the meaning, empathy, and joy we create through lived experience.Check out Hussein's book "The Dark Art of Life Mastery" and connect with him at https://husseinhallak.comSubscribe to Real Things Living for more conversations that celebrate resilience, creativity, and the power of choice.

In this episode, Kevin explores the dynamic interplay between external forces and inner authority, weaving together analogies, spiritual teachings, and practical frameworks for conscious living. At the heart of the discussion lies a question that shapes every life decision: when do we row with effort and willpower, and when do we sail by allowing the currents of the universe to carry us?Kevin begins by comparing life's unfolding to a journey across an ocean scattered with islands representing career, spirituality, and love. The winds and currents - the neutrino field, planetary alignments, and the larger movements of the cosmos - direct us toward certain destinations at different times. While these external influences shape the trajectory, individuals retain the power of choice, the ability to pick up the oar and row toward desires, even when currents seem to be guiding elsewhere.Through the lens of astrology, human design, and conscious manifestation, Kevin explains that these frameworks are not in conflict but complementary. The spiritual blueprint, informed by cosmic movements, offers insight into where energy is naturally flowing. Consciousness, however, is the muscle that strengthens through practice, meditation, and intentional thought. The more one rows with awareness, the more powerful that faculty becomes, enabling greater influence over direction and outcome.The conversation moves deeper into spiritual history, drawing parallels with the teachings of mystics like Krishna, Buddha, and Jesus. Kevin emphasizes that the essence of their message was not external authority, but inner authority - the divine spark within each person. The revolutionary truth they shared was that no religion, government, or system outside of the self is needed to discover truth or live righteously. Over time, however, these teachings were co-opted by institutions, distorting their original intent.Throughout the episode, Kevin highlights the balance between surrender and effort. To only row without awareness of the currents is to risk exhaustion or misdirection, while to only sail without ever rowing is to be carried far from one's deepest desires. Wisdom lies in discerning when to act and when to allow. This discernment requires self-knowledge, the ability to “know yourself,” as the Oracle of Delphi instructed, and as mystics across traditions have echoed.By integrating the frameworks of cosmic influence and conscious thought, Kevin argues that individuals become unstoppable. Recognizing the currents as truth, and simultaneously embracing the power to shape reality through consciousness, creates a unified approach to life. It is not either/or, but both/and - an alignment of external flow with internal authority.Closing with an invitation for reflection, Kevin asks listeners to consider what feels most “alpha” to them, even through music, as a way of understanding how each person defines strength, energy, and authenticity. The episode encourages men to elevate their awareness, practice conscious thought, and embrace the truth that the ultimate authority lies within.This is not only a lesson in spiritual frameworks, but a call to reclaim personal sovereignty and live with both alignment and intention.
