What we know with certainty about the future changes everything about how we face the present. Dr. John Neufeld continues in Matthew 24, examining Jesus' warnings about false messiahs who will arise in the last days, performing signs to deceive many. Jesus assures His followers the true Savior will not appear in secret locations, but visibly across the heavens like lightning, returning in power and glory to gather His elect.The Best Is Ahead: Looking ahead, some of us are fearful. But for the believers who have put their confidence fully in Christ, we know with certainty that our best days are not behind us and certainly our best days are not the ones we are living now. Our best days lie in the future, when Christ will return to gather his elect. Join Dr. Neufeld for this 5 message series in the study of Matthew 24. 

Guests Why are school children more anxious, aggressive, and shut down than ever before? We first heard answers from educators Tamara Neufeld Strijack and Hannah Beach in April 2020. Hannah takes us up to the present in this update episode. Tamara is the academic dean of the Neufeld Institute, where she develops and delivers courses and workshops that support parents, teachers, and helping professionals around the world in making sense of children through developmental science. Tamara works as a registered clinical counsellor, parent consultant, and sessional instructor for several universities, where she lectures for the faculties of education and counseling. Hannah is an award-winning educator, author, and keynote speaker. She was recognized by the Canadian Human Rights Commission in 2017 as one of five featured change-makers in Canada. She is a Neufeld course facilitator, delivers professional development services across the country, provides emotional health consulting to schools, and speaks at national and international conferences about the power of bringing more feeling and human connection into the classroom. Together, they are the authors of Reclaiming Our Students: Why Children Are More Anxious, Aggressive, and Shut Down Than Ever―And What We Can Do About It – a book about restoring the emotional well-being of children. As stated in the book's preface, "Academics can no longer be divorced from matters of the heart." Summary The core takeaway is this: children today are emotionally overloaded and under-supported, and until adults—especially teachers—reestablish themselves as consistent, caring, emotionally safe anchors, academic learning will continue to fall short. Tamara and Hannah argue that modern cultural shifts—loss of free play, constant entertainment, diminished time with adults, and the dominance of technology—have deprived kids of the natural outlets and relationships they need to process alarm, frustration, and sadness. Schools cannot "fix" behavior through discipline or curriculum tweaks alone. The starting point is restoring emotional connection, safe expression, and relational leadership in the classroom. Listen for: Why are our kids in the position today of being more anxious, aggressive, and shut down than ever before? What has been the impact of children losing time for free play – and of entertainment becoming the substitute for free play? What are "void moments," and what purpose do they serve? How can one teacher make a huge difference in the risk factors of children? What are the characteristics of the "caring leader"? Why we need to provide children with outlets for expression, and why are those outlets especially important in the online learning environment we find ourselves in today? "When we see a child who is aggressive or being difficult in some way, we look only at the behavior, and we go to correct the behavior. But what's behind the behavior? What if we feed the emotion behind that behavior? The behavior will naturally go away, just like food will help alleviate a child's hunger. If we're only treating the behavior, and not the root cause of it, how do we actually shift the child?" — Hannah Connect with Hannah and Tamara Reclaiming Our Students on Amazon Book website, including the "Inside / Outside Handbook Hannah on LinkedIN Hannah's website Tamara's website Recommended The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt The Myth of Normal by Gabor Mate  

Some moments in history are so defining they serve as lessons for all time. Dr. John Neufeld examines Jesus' cryptic reference to "the abomination of desolation" from Daniel's prophecy - a warning that was fulfilled in A.D. 70 when Roman forces destroyed Jerusalem. Christians who heeded Jesus' words escaped the city during what became unprecedented suffering for the Jewish people, proving that when Jesus speaks about the future, His words are always trustworthy.The Best Is Ahead: Looking ahead, some of us are fearful. But for the believers who have put their confidence fully in Christ, we know with certainty that our best days are not behind us and certainly our best days are not the ones we are living now. Our best days lie in the future, when Christ will return to gather his elect. Join Dr. Neufeld for this 5 message series in the study of Matthew 24. 

Dr. John Neufeld begins a series on Christ's return by examining the Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24. When the disciples ask Jesus about the temple's destruction and the end of the age, He warns them of "birth pangs" - signs that will continue throughout history but don't signal the immediate end: false messiahs, wars, persecution, and apostasy. Rather than predicting timelines, Jesus calls believers to endure faithfully until the gospel reaches all nations.The Best Is Ahead: Looking ahead, some of us are fearful.

In this episode, Dr. Stuart Slavin speaks with Dr. Adam Neufeld, family physician and clinical assistant professor at the University of Calgary. Drawing on his research in Self-Determination Theory (SDT), Dr. Neufeld explains how autonomy, competence, and relatedness—the three universal psychological needs—shape motivation, engagement, and well-being in medical education and practice. Together they explore how supporting these needs can foster authentic motivation, enhance learning environments, and counteract burnout. Dr. Neufeld also clarifies common misconceptions about autonomy, shares practical strategies for educators and leaders, and discusses how small changes in communication and structure can transform both teaching and workplace culture.

Even the greatest heroes of faith are still subject to human weakness. In this episode, Dr. John Neufeld examines King Hezekiah—one of Judah's most godly kings—who after being miraculously healed and witnessing incredible deliverance from Assyria, stumbles into pride when Babylonian envoys visit Jerusalem. Dr. Neufeld reminds us that sin's consequences can't always be undone, and that even faithful leaders must guard against complacency until their mission is complete.The Grand Vision: God's Story Through Isaiah: Isaiah is the second-most quoted book in the New Testament, yet many Christians have never studied it deeply.

When crisis comes, where do we turn? In this episode, Dr. John Neufeld explores Isaiah's fourth and fifth woes against Judah for forming a military alliance with Egypt instead of trusting God. Using the biblical theme of "going back to Egypt" as a symbol of turning away from God, he examines how Judah's leaders sought security in Egyptian military power and rejected the prophets who called them to repentance.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.  

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

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.

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.

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.
