In the final message of his series "The Gospel Alternative to the Cultures of Men," Dr. John Neufeld concludes his study of 1 Corinthians 7 by offering practical wisdom for choosing a lifestyle that honors God. He warns against letting marriage become an idol that divides our loyalty to Christ, encourages firm decision-making rather than endless wavering, and reminds believers that marriage brings lifelong permanency. Dr. Neufeld challenges Christians to develop "skill in living" that secures undivided devotion to the Lord.The Gospel Alternative to the Cultures of Men: Being a Christian inevitably puts you in conflict with culture. In this three-week series, Dr. John Neufeld examines 1 Corinthians 5-7 to explore how the gospel creates a distinct counter-culture in the church. Addressing sexual purity, church discipline, and Christian identity, Dr. Neufeld challenges believers to live faithfully in a broken world—not by condemning culture, but by demonstrating Christ's transforming power through humble accountability, moral courage, and authentic community that offers hope to a watching world.

Should young Christians pursue marriage or remain single? Dr. John Neufeld addresses this timeless question from 1 Corinthians 7:25-31, offering three principles of wisdom: consider the advantages of your current situation, understand the pressures marriage brings, and remember that marriage is temporary while our calling to follow Christ is eternal. Dr. Neufeld challenges listeners not to let marriage become an excuse for neglecting God's call.The Gospel Alternative to the Cultures of Men: Being a Christian inevitably puts you in conflict with culture.

In a culture obsessed with advancement and self-improvement, how does the Bible call us to live? Dr. John Neufeld explores the radical Christian virtue of contentment from 1 Corinthians 7:17-24, teaching that believers are called to embrace God's assignment in whatever situation they find themselves. Paul's principle remains: be content where God has placed you while seeking freedom when possible, and find satisfaction not in changing your circumstances, but in recognizing the spiritual riches you possess in Christ.The Gospel Alternative to the Cultures of Men: Being a Christian inevitably puts you in conflict with culture.

Does it really matter which type of therapy you choose? In this Mind the Kids episode, hosts Dr. Jane Gilmour and Prof. Umar Toseeb sit down with Professor Ian Goodyer from the University of Cambridge to unpack one of the most provocative findings in youth mental health research: different types of psychotherapy for adolescent depression work equally well—but not for the reasons we thought. Drawing from the landmark IMPACT trial (the largest UK study of its kind with 465 participants), Professor Goodyer reveals surprising insights that challenge decades of therapeutic orthodoxy. Using cutting-edge network analysis, his team discovered that the key drivers of recovery aren't what therapists predicted—they're fatigue and insomnia, not the psychological symptoms clinicians typically focus on. What You'll Learn The Common Factors Debate: Why CBT, psychoanalytic therapy, and brief psychosocial intervention showed no significant differences in outcomes The Speed of Recovery: Why most young people improved faster than any therapy manual predicted (often in just 6-12 sessions instead of 20-30) Network Science Meets Mental Health: How symptoms influence each other over time—and why this changes everything about diagnosis and treatment The Sleep Connection: Why addressing fatigue and insomnia might be more crucial than we realized for adolescent depression The Role of Time: Why recovery continues for 12 months after therapy ends, with remarkably low relapse rates Why This Matters This isn't just an academic debate. These findings have profound implications for: Clinicians: Rethinking assessment priorities and treatment planning Trainees: Understanding what really drives therapeutic change Researchers: Opening new avenues for investigating mental health interventions Policy makers: Allocating resources more effectively in child and adolescent mental health services Perfect for: Clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists, researchers, students, and anyone interested in what really works in mental health treatment—and why.

What should a Christian do when married to a non-believer? Dr. John Neufeld tackles this challenging question from 1 Corinthians 7:12-16, clarifying that while the Bible prohibits believers from marrying unbelievers, when someone becomes a Christian after marriage, Paul's instruction is clear: stay in the marriage if the unbelieving spouse is willing. Dr. Neufeld explains the concept of "contagious holiness" and addresses what to do when an unbeliever chooses to leave because of their partner's faith.The Gospel Alternative to the Cultures of Men: Being a Christian inevitably puts you in conflict with culture. In this three-week series, Dr. John Neufeld examines 1 Corinthians 5-7 to explore how the gospel creates a distinct counter-culture in the church.

Co pomáhá otevřít dětskou mysl a připravit ho na nové podněty, které výuka přináší? „Děti se musí cítit bezpečně,“ zdůrazňuje v pořadu Reparát kanadská psycholožka Tamara Neufeld Strijack. Učitelům doporučuje třeba dát dítěti najevo, že ho vnímají. „Oslovit ho jménem, zeptat se, co dělalo o víkendu. Takový žák nebo žákyně se pak mohou uvolnit, jejich mysl se otevře a mohou se začít učit. Další variantou je vyučovat v režimu hry, v němž se děti nestresují z výkonu.“

In a culture that often pressures singles to find a spouse and tempts married couples to wonder "what if," how does God view singleness and marriage? Dr. John Neufeld explores what the Bible teaches about both callings from 1 Corinthians 7, emphasizing that each is a gift from God with unique advantages and responsibilities. He addresses the importance of contentment in whatever state God has called you to, reminding listeners that marriage is a lifelong covenant designed by God for our holiness, not just our happiness.The Gospel Alternative to the Cultures of Men: Being a Christian inevitably puts you in conflict with culture. In this three-week series, Dr. John Neufeld examines 1 Corinthians 5-7 to explore how the gospel creates a distinct counter-culture in the church. Addressing sexual purity, church discipline, and Christian identity, Dr. Neufeld challenges believers to live faithfully in a broken world—not by condemning culture, but by demonstrating Christ's transforming power through humble accountability, moral courage, and authentic community that offers hope to a watching world.

Is singleness or marriage the ideal Christian life? Dr. John Neufeld examines 1 Corinthians 7:1-7, showing that both callings have distinct advantages and challenges. Singleness offers freedom and undivided devotion to Christ, but carries sexual temptation and societal pressure. Marriage requires mutual sexual commitment as a lifelong spiritual discipline. God has specific plans for both the single and married.The Gospel Alternative to the Cultures of Men: Being a Christian inevitably puts you in conflict with culture.

Why does the Bible treat sexual sin differently from other sins? Dr. John Neufeld explores 1 Corinthians 6:15-20, revealing that sexual expression is never merely physical. God designed sex as a sacred "one flesh" experience meant to express lifelong commitment within marriage. Sexual sin creates a unique spiritual wound because it violates the deepest intimacy God created for us.The Gospel Alternative to the Cultures of Men: Being a Christian inevitably puts you in conflict with culture.

What does true Christian freedom really mean? Dr. John Neufeld tackles 1 Corinthians 6:12-17, where the Corinthians claimed "all things are lawful for me." Paul doesn't reject freedom—he redefines it. Real freedom isn't doing whatever you want impulsively; it's the ability to choose deliberately what honors Christ. Your body isn't insignificant—it's designed for worship and part of God's eternal plan.The Gospel Alternative to the Cultures of Men: Being a Christian inevitably puts you in conflict with culture.

Can someone truly claim to be a Christian while continuing in patterns of sin? Dr. John Neufeld explores 1 Corinthians 6:7-11, where Paul lists behaviors—from sexual immorality to theft and greed—that characterize the unregenerate life. Paul's shocking conclusion: believers should accept financial loss rather than disgrace Christ's name in court. True salvation isn't just forgiveness—it's liberation from the sins that once dominated us.The Gospel Alternative to the Cultures of Men: Being a Christian inevitably puts you in conflict with culture.

What should Christians do when conflicts with fellow believers threaten to end up in court? Dr. John Neufeld examines 1 Corinthians 6:1-8, where Paul instructs believers to resolve disputes within the church rather than secular courts. These conflicts are ultimately spiritual, not merely legal, requiring the wisdom of the cross—repentance, reconciliation, and love—that courts cannot provide. This message challenges churches to establish godly dispute resolution processes that honour Christ's name.The Gospel Alternative to the Cultures of Men: Being a Christian inevitably puts you in conflict with culture.

Christians often wonder where to take their stand in a culture whose values conflict with Scripture. Dr. John Neufeld examines 1 Corinthians 5:9-13, where Paul clarifies a crucial distinction: believers are called to engage with sinners in the world, but must not tolerate unrepentant sin among those who claim to follow Christ. We often get this backwards—condemning the world while excusing ourselves. God's mission is for the church to be salt and light, offering the world an attractive alternative rather than a mirror image of its brokenness.The Gospel Alternative to the Cultures of Men: Being a Christian inevitably puts you in conflict with culture.

What business is the church in? Dr. John Neufeld explores 1 Corinthians 5:6-13, challenging believers to understand their true identity as God's people. Using Paul's analogy of leaven, he shows how tolerating sin transforms a church from the inside out, causing it to lose its unique identity. The church's business isn't fitting into culture to attract people—it's being the redeemed people of God who provide a hopeful alternative to a broken world.The Gospel Alternative to the Cultures of Men: Being a Christian inevitably puts you in conflict with culture.

Excommunication reminds us of church wounds and harsh judgments, yet the Bible teaches it has a place. Dr. John Neufeld examines 1 Corinthians 5:1-5 to show that biblical church discipline, when done correctly, is actually an act of love. A faithful church grieves over sin and, when necessary, removes unrepentant members—not to be cruel, but to protect the church's holiness and hopefully lead the person to repentance. Paul teaches that excommunication must be done under Christ's authority, yet is always undertaken with hope for restoration.The Gospel Alternative to the Cultures of Men: Being a Christian inevitably puts you in conflict with culture.

Most of us don't want to be told what to do, especially about personal matters like sexuality. Dr. John Neufeld examines 1 Corinthians 5:1-5, where Paul addresses a shocking case of sexual immorality that even pagan culture condemned. The church's failure to act wasn't just tolerance; it was arrogance about their own spirituality. Dr. Neufeld challenges believers to understand that God calls the church to be radically counter-cultural in sexual ethics, holding one another accountable rather than ignoring sin while condemning the world.The Gospel Alternative to the Cultures of Men: Being a Christian inevitably puts you in conflict with culture.

Being a Christian inevitably puts you in conflict with culture. Dr. John Neufeld explores 1 Corinthians 5-7, examining how believers navigate sexuality, disputes, marriage, and singleness differently than the world around them. Christianity requires accountability within the church community, not just individual faith. As believers live obediently to Scripture, they naturally stand apart from cultural values by faithfully following Jesus.The Gospel Alternative to the Cultures of Men: Being a Christian inevitably puts you in conflict with culture.

How can computational neuroscience contribute to developing neurotechnology to help people with brain disorders and disabilities? This was the topic of a panel debate I hosted at the 34th Annual Computational Neuroscience Meeting in Florence in July this year. Electric or magnetic recording and/or stimulation are key clinical tools for helping patients, and the three panelists have all used computational methods to aid this endeavor.  

Send us a textHave we been approaching education all wrong? In this mind-shifting conversation with renowned developmental psychologist Dr. Gordon Neufeld, we explore the invisible but essential foundation of all learning: relationship.As another school year begins, Dr. Neufeld challenges educators to recognize their primary role as "attachment agents" rather than just instructors. The modern educational system often separates children from their natural "villages of cascading care," creating an environment nature never intended. When this happens, our first responsibility is to help children maintain connections with their primary caregivers while building secure attachments with us as teachers.Most provocatively, Dr. Neufeld argues that many of the competencies we're desperately trying to teach—empathy, self-regulation, resilience—cannot actually be taught at all. "We're teaching what can't be taught," he observes. "We can only teach children to perform." These qualities emerge naturally when children feel secure in their attachments and experience genuine playfulness.And here's where Dr. Neufeld's wisdom becomes truly transformative: he distinguishes between structured "play activities" and true playfulness. When the brain enters the play drive (as opposed to attachment or achievement drives), learning is optimized, creativity flourishes, and even sensory processing improves. This has profound implications for how we approach education, particularly for children with attention or sensory challenges.Twenty years after publishing his landmark book "Hold On to Your Kids," Dr. Neufeld's message remains more urgent than ever. In our digital age, where screens and social media compete for children's attention and attachment, educators must "retreat to the basics" rather than pushing harder with more structured learning.Ready to transform your approach to teaching and child development? Listen now to discover how prioritizing attachment and playfulness creates the optimal conditions for nature to do what it does best: grow children into their fullest potential.

Chris Neufeld from DPR Construction joins Seth Kalkman on Constructive to explore the world of prefabrication. Chris, who leads DPR's prefab strategy for the Northwest region, explains why prefabrication isn't just about big modular units, but a spectrum of solutions, from small-scale assemblies to entire volumetric buildings.Chris shares how DPR uses a tiered approach to prefabrication, starting with early-stage design to identify opportunities for adding value through cost, schedule, and predictability. He also offers an insightful analogy for a two-year-old, comparing building a treehouse one nail at a time versus assembling large parts on the ground first for safety and efficiency.The conversation dives into the challenges of prefabrication, including common industry pessimism and the importance of learning from mistakes. Chris discusses how technology like BIM, computational design, and AI is changing the game, allowing for better quality control and more reliable data. He also touches on the future of the industry, the role of vertical integration, and the importance of fostering a culture of innovation.Learn how one of the industry's most innovative companies is navigating the shift from traditional construction to a more sophisticated, manufacturing-like approach.Key Topics:The spectrum of prefabrication DPR Construction's tiered approach The value of predictability, not just cost and schedule Combating industry pessimism The role of technology, AI, and robotics Fostering a culture of innovation Connect with Constructive:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ConstructivePodcastLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/constructivepodcast#Construction #Prefabrication #Prefab #ModularConstruction #DPRConstruction #Innovation #AEC #BuiltEnvironment #ProjectManagement #DigitalConstruction #ConstructionTechnology #AI #Robotics #SupplyChain #Manufacturing #Constructive

Join Ed Tait, Darren Cameron and Zach Collaros for an all new episode of Handled Internally with special guests Stanley Bryant and Pat Neufeld.

In this episode, I sit down with Frank Neufeld, who was born and raised in Chihuahua, Mexico in the Old Colony Mennonite church. His wife grew up in the Kleine Gemeinde tradition, where children were raised with a more intentional approach to life and faith. While Frank avoided much of the typical Old Colony youth culture of partying, smoking, and drinking, he still didn't truly understand the gospel of Jesus Christ until much later in life.He went through baptism and marriage within the Old Colony church, it wasn't until leaving that community years later that the saving work of Christ became clear to him. Today, Frank preaches that only Jesus saves. He has served for years as a pastor/preacher in the Kleine Gemeinde church and now carries a burden to see more Mennonites come to a genuine, saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

Moving beyond descriptions of hell itself, Dr. John examines what the experience of being in hell is actually like. He identifies three key aspects: complete loss of all earthly pleasures, the total extinguishment of hope since hell is eternal, and suffering under God's everlasting displeasure. He addresses objections that God is a "torturer" by explaining hell as perfect justice with degrees of punishment, and challenges the popular notion that people "choose" hell, emphasizing instead our spiritual deadness and need for God's grace.Hell Explained: In this one week series, Dr. Neufeld unpacks the often difficult and uncomfortable doctrine of Hell. This study will discuss the biblical description of hell, how we can reconcile hell with the God of the Bible, and how it's important for Christians to reflect on the seriousness of hell.

What role should the doctrine of hell play in motivating people toward faith? Dr. John addresses modern objections to "hell-fire preaching" by demonstrating that Jesus Himself frequently warned people about hell - citing twelve passages from Matthew alone where Christ threatened eternal punishment. He challenges contemporary self-esteem culture where most people assume they're good and deserve heaven, calling listeners to recognize their desperate need for Christ's mercy while they still can.Hell Explained: In this one week series, Dr. Neufeld unpacks the often difficult and uncomfortable doctrine of Hell. This study will discuss the biblical description of hell, how we can reconcile hell with the God of the Bible, and how it's important for Christians to reflect on the seriousness of hell.

After examining why hell exists and God's righteousness in sending people there, Dr. John turns to the terrifying question of what hell is actually like. Using Jesus' parable of the rich man and Lazarus and other Scripture, he describes hell through five biblical images: a prison with chains, a bottomless pit, a place of eternal fire, complete darkness, and most frighteningly, where God is forever present pouring out His wrath. The message concludes with an urgent gospel appeal.Hell Explained: In this one week series, Dr. Neufeld unpacks the often difficult and uncomfortable doctrine of Hell. This study will discuss the biblical description of hell, how we can reconcile hell with the God of the Bible, and how it's important for Christians to reflect on the seriousness of hell.

In this message, Dr. John addresses how a loving God can send people to hell. Using Scripture, he explains that God rightfully acts for His own glory since His infinite worth surpasses all creation. Sin against an infinitely glorious God constitutes an infinite crime deserving infinite punishment. The real question isn't "How can God allow hell?" but "How can God allow heaven?" - marveling at His grace toward undeserving sinners.Hell Explained: In this one week series, Dr. Neufeld unpacks the often difficult and uncomfortable doctrine of Hell. This study will discuss the biblical description of hell, how we can reconcile hell with the God of the Bible, and how it's important for Christians to reflect on the seriousness of hell.

Dr. John opens a challenging series on the doctrine of hell, explaining why this difficult biblical topic has largely disappeared from modern churches. He outlines five reasons why Christians today need to hear what Scripture teaches about eternal punishment, including the reality that an entire generation has never been taught this doctrine. This introductory message prepares listeners for a sobering examination of one of Christianity's most difficult teachings.Hell Explained: In this one week series, Dr. Neufeld unpacks the often difficult and uncomfortable doctrine of Hell.

What makes a great church? Dr. Neufeld examines the Corinthian church to discover that effective churches aren't built on impressive credentials or programs. Instead, God chooses the "foolish," weak, and lowly to showcase His power. Using Paul's teaching in 1 Corinthians, he shows that great churches are made of people who boast only in the Lord, carrying the message of the cross that provides wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption.The Power of Christ in a Pagan World: Join Dr. John Neufeld for this 20-message series as he focuses on the book of 1 Corinthians. Covering chapters 1-4, The Power of Christ in a Pagan World looks at the many issues that confronted the church in Corinth; Problems that seemed to find their place within the church at every turn! This series helps us unpack the different conflicts and struggles of this early church in a relevant and practical way. Even though the church in Corinth existed a long time ago, they went through trials that might sound familiar to us in the 21st Century!

Why would early Christians choose the cross as their symbol when it represented death, shame, and defeat? Dr. Neufeld explores how the cross was considered foolish and offensive in the ancient world - yet became the central message of Christianity. Using Paul's teaching in 1 Corinthians, he examines why the gospel message remains scandalous today: it strips away human pride, declaring that we contribute nothing to our salvation.The Power of Christ in a Pagan World: Join Dr. John Neufeld for this 20-message series as he focuses on the book of 1 Corinthians.

Why do churches split over leaders and styles rather than core biblical truths? Dr. Neufeld examines 1 Corinthians 1:11-17, where Paul addresses four factions in the Corinthian church—those following Paul, Apollos, Peter, or claiming to follow Christ alone. Through Paul's pointed questions about baptism and the cross, Dr. Neufeld reveals that confidence in human skills was dividing Corinth, when their unity should have been centered on the power of the cross, not the style of their leaders.The Power of Christ in a Pagan World: Join Dr. John Neufeld for this 20-message series as he focuses on the book of 1 Corinthians.

In a world filled with quarrels and divisions, wouldn't it be refreshing to find a place of genuine community and love? Dr. Neufeld examines 1 Corinthians 1:10, where Paul makes his passionate appeal for church unity. He breaks down Paul's four-part charge: submitting to Christ's authority, speaking with biblical vocabulary, ending divisive schisms, and being united in mind and judgment. This message challenges believers to embrace Christ's vision for His church—a community marked by genuine love for one another.The Power of Christ in a Pagan World: Join Dr. John Neufeld for this 20-message series as he focuses on the book of 1 Corinthians.

In today's episode of the Connect Method Parenting Podcast, I'm diving headfirst into the messy, confusing, absolutely necessary world of figuring out what to tolerate in your relationships with your kids (and honestly, everyone else in your life). Because let's face it - we're all walking that tightrope between doormat and dictator DAILY.Here's what we're unpacking today:• The "Compassionate Alpha" approach - that magical middle ground between permissive pushover and authoritarian tyrant (spoiler alert: both extremes come from the same place of fear!)• My "Seen and Heard Sandwich" framework that starts with Connection and ends with Bridge - your step-by-step guide for handling everything from epic Target checkout meltdowns to homework battles• Why "accepting" your child's behavior is NOT the same as "condoning" it (say it with me, people!)• The traffic circle of frustration (thanks Dr. Neufeld!) and why our job isn't to punish the attacking energy but to help our kids move from mad to sad• My embarrassingly real Target story involving two toddlers, a public meltdown, and a stranger's birth control commentary (I literally abandoned my cart and fled)• The mind-blowing concept that "their behavior is information" - they're not trying to ruin your life, they're communicating something!Remember: You teach people how to treat you by what you tolerate. But tolerating your child's emotions doesn't mean letting go of boundaries - it means showing up with both compassion AND firmness.Whether you're dealing with eye-rolling teens or cookie-demanding toddlers, this episode is your permission slip to stop trying to "win" the power struggle and start winning the relationship instead.DM on IG @connectmethodparenting about YOUR tolerance dilemmas - I read every single one while contemplating whether I should have that last cookie in my fridge (Dollar Cookie Day, you are my weakness!).Stay boundaried but beautiful!xo AndeeNext Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast My Book: https://cmp.works/1xs My IG: https://cmp.works/ista

So here's the deal—I've been low-key obsessed with creating this geeky-but-life-changing episode about the SEEing Framework that has COMPLETELY rewired how I parent. And listen, when you've had six kids in eight years like I have, you need all the mental frameworks you can get!Here's the mind-blowing data point that sent me down this rabbit hole: Dr. Neufeld's research shows that 95% (!!!) of kids' problem behaviors were never actually intended. NINETY-FIVE PERCENT, people! I used to be the correction queen, y'all. I had more sticker charts than Target's office supply section. In this episode, I break down my SEEing Framework that's basically the ultimate parent hack:
