As leaders, we all face moments when someone's words or actions cut deep. Maybe it's betrayal, criticism, or a costly mistake. But when justice isn't possible, Leadership becomes about something deeper: how we process it, learn from it, and move forward. Justice and accountability are not the same. Justice is external; it's about consequences and what happens to them. Accountability is internal; it's about reclaiming your power, energy, and integrity, regardless of what they did. You won't always get justice. But you can always choose accountability. That's the moment you take your power back. When there's no way to make it right, when justice isn't possible, accountability looks like this. You set boundaries: stop giving the situation oxygen. You practice neutrality: train your nervous system so that their name or memory no longer triggers an emotional response. You witness yourself.: tell the truth without spin or self-gaslighting. You cut the cord: stop replaying the story and feeding the energy leak. Letting go isn't weakness. It's strength. Forgiveness and compassion don't mean excusing bad behavior. They mean refusing to let it define you. I call this clean compassion; seeing the humanity in someone without justifying the harm. You can let go with love and boundaries, not bitterness. And that's Leadership in motion: choosing peace over poison when justice isn't possible. When you can discuss painful experiences without harboring anger, you model genuine Leadership. That's what builds trust with others and with yourself. What you'll learn • The real difference between justice and accountability • How boundaries and neutrality create inner accountability • How to stop rumination and reclaim your energy • Why clean compassion strengthens Leadership Reflect Forward Questions 1. Am I seeking justice or accountability? 2. Am I feeding the story or cutting the cord? 3. What boundary or choice will help me reclaim my energy right now? Key Takeaways 1. Justice is external. Accountability is internal. You can always choose your response. 2. Boundaries create accountability. Remove access and stop giving the situation oxygen. 3. Neutrality equals freedom. When the memory no longer spikes your emotions, you've reclaimed your power. 4. Energy management is Leadership. Rumination drains creativity and clarity. 5. Clean compassion is strength. Let go with love, not anger. Mic Drop Moments • “Letting go isn't weakness. It's one of the most powerful leadership skills you can master.” • “You don't need someone else to make it right in order for you to rise.” • “Boundaries aren't walls; they are declarations of self-respect.” • “When you release the need for justice, you make space for peace.” Connect with Kerry Visit my website, kerrysiggins.com, to explore my book, The Ownership Mindset, and get more leadership resources.

“Some time ago, I realized that there was such a thing for me as experiencing my patients as being friends, but they were psychoanalytic friends. It was a psychoanalytic friendship that was quite unique and unlike any other friendship. I think that's what people are talking about when they write about psychoanalytic love. It's not love like any other kind of relationship, because the psychoanalytic relationship is so unique. And I feel the same way about psychoanalytic parenting. It's like it's close to mentoring, but it's different because the structure of the relationship is different than from a mentor or an esteemed and loved teacher. It really is helping somebody with the whole process of development and helping them grow, mature, and become more comfortable with themselves and to know themselves better. That seems to me the essence of parenting, and I don't think we should feel defensive about thinking about it that way. That doesn't seem to me that it's my counter-transference in needing to be a good mother, a good father, a good parent to my patients.”  Episode Description: We discuss the challenge of transmitting the experiential knowledge of the dynamic therapies to new generations. David's book on therapeutic aphorisms demonstrates a number of key elements of this unique relationship - symbolic meanings in symptoms, 'psychotherapeutic parenting', the simultaneous use of medications and working with the unlikable patient to name but a few of the topics he brings forward. He describes the challenges of the negative therapeutic reaction, how "transference reactions are the creative soul of the patient's story" and what it was like for him to admit to a patient that he lied to her. We close with his reflecting on the meaning to him of retiring from full time practice, noting "I haven't retired my psychoanalytic mind."   Our Guest: David Joseph, MD is a supervising and training analyst at the Washington Baltimore Center for Psychoanalysis where he served as chair of the board and director of the Institute Council (education committee). For many years he was the Director of Residency Training at St. Elizabeths Hospital in Washington, DC.  He has a long-standing interest in ethics and has written and spoken about a number of ethical issues in the practice of psychoanalysis. He closed his clinical practice several years ago, at the age of 82. In June 2025, his book: Listening for a Lifetime: The Artful Science of Psychotherapy, was published by Mission Point Press.    Recommended Readings: Freud's technique papers.   Greenson, R.

Podcast Episode Show Notes:Episode Title: Engaging in Politics as a Christian Man: Dos & Don'tsEpisode: 137 | Worldview Legacy TodayHost: Joel SettecaseWhat does it mean to engage in politics as a Christian man—not just as a voter, but as a disciple of Jesus Christ, called to represent God's truth in every sphere? In this thought-provoking episode, Joel Settecase cuts through the noise and offers a biblically grounded framework for political engagement that avoids two dangerous ditches: compromise and idolatry.Joel explains why Christian men must not retreat from the political arena, nor bow to it. He gives practical wisdom on how to think and speak politically without becoming just another partisan echo or culture warrior. Using examples from Scripture, church history, and today's headlines, Joel offers clear “dos and don'ts” for men who want to be faithful to Christ and effective in shaping their communities.You'll hear how the Apostle Paul modeled gospel-first engagement, why neutrality is a myth, and how to spot the traps of “red religion” and “blue religion.” If you've felt confused, compromised, or just plain exhausted by the chaos of political discourse—this episode will sharpen your discernment and strengthen your spine.In this episode, you'll learn:Why politics is inescapably religious—and why that mattersHow Christian men can be politically engaged without being consumedThe biblical basis for civic involvement (and where to draw the line)The danger of worshiping power, personalities, or partiesHow to prioritize God's kingdom over man's systemsHow to be salt and light in an age of outrageWhy compromise isn't the answer—and neither is culture warA Christ-centered path forward in public lifeKey Scriptures: Romans 13, Matthew 22:21, Psalm 2, 2 Corinthians 10:3–5, John 18:36, 1 Timothy 2:1–4, Ephesians 6:12Join the Hammer & Anvil Society:This is the discipleship brotherhood for Christian men who are done with passivity and ready to lead with boldness.

Look around. A million lives aborted. Marriage redefined. Truth itself put on trial in our schools and boardrooms. Ever wonder how we got here? It didn't happen because the enemy was so loud. It happened because the Church was so quiet. Today, we're calling out the sin that has muzzled the Church for decades: silence.Culture screams its gospel of sin from every screen, platform, and institution. Meanwhile, too many Christians have been told to sit down, be quiet, and “go along to get along.” The result? A nation in moral free-fall.But silence is not humility. It's not respect. It's complicity. When we know the Truth and refuse to speak it, we aren't being neutral—we're siding with the enemy.The time for quiet, private faith is over. When the world is screaming lies, will you whisper, or will you roar with the truth of the gospel of Christ?Buckle up. This episode is a declaration of war on the sin of silence."If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn't do it, it is sin for them." – James 4:17Episode Highlights:08:24 - Abortion didn't become normalized because pro-abortion activists outnumber Christians—because they don't. It became normalized because too many Christians decided to stay home, keep quiet and not make waves... Neutrality ain't kindness. Neutrality ain't wisdom. Instead, neutrality is cowardice dressed up in church clothes.23:06 - Satan isn't scared of Christians who keep their faith private, but he's terrified of Christians who boldly and unapologetically go public with their faith... Satan doesn't mind you attending church quietly, reading your Bible silently, or praying in your head. What he fears is when you open your mouth and someone else's eternity changes because of it.34:17 - Silence is not just about avoiding discomfort here, it's about consigning souls to darkness forever. And this is why silence is not a small issue. It's not a personality quirk. It's not a matter of preference. It's literally, truly, in every sense of the word, life or death, heaven or hell. When Christians choose silence, the cost is measured in eternal destinies.Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite

Read Online“Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.” Luke 11:23These words are embedded within several powerful teachings of Jesus, but, in many ways, this single sentence can stand alone as an important Christian truth. Specifically, it tells us that we cannot be neutral in our position regarding Jesus and all that He has taught us. This is an important message in the world today.Today, there seems to be a growing secular value that we might call “neutrality.” We are told by many in the world that we must accept any morality, any lifestyle, any choice that others make. And though it is true that we must always love and accept every person and treat them with the utmost dignity and respect, it is not true that we should be neutral to the choices and secular values that some choose to live and express. Sadly, when we do speak the full truth, especially the many moral truths our Lord has revealed, we are often labeled as judgmental. But this is not the truth.This quote above from today's Gospel makes it clear that we cannot remain indifferent to the teachings of our Lord and still remain in His good graces. In fact, Jesus makes it clear that the opposite is true. He says that if we are not with Him, meaning, if we do not accept all that He has revealed, then we are, in fact, against Him. Being neutral on matters of faith and morality is not actually being neutral at all. It's a choice that some make that has the clear effect of separating them from Jesus.For example, regarding matters of faith, if someone were to say, “I do not believe in the Eucharist,” then they are, in fact, rejecting God. And though it is not our duty to be their judge, it is our duty to acknowledge that they have expressed a belief contrary to the truth. They are in error, and if they persist in this error, then they do separate themselves from God. That's what Jesus is saying.The same is true regarding morality. There are many examples in the moral life that are becoming more and more blatant in their opposition to our Lord's teaching. Thus, we must remind ourselves that when we reject a moral teaching given to us by our Lord, we reject Jesus Himself.Jesus goes even further when He says that “whoever does not gather with me scatters.” In other words, it's not enough to simply personally believe all that Jesus taught, we must also teach it to others. If we do not and if we, instead, offer a false form of “acceptance” of another's error, then we are actually working against Jesus. We all have a moral duty to actively promote the truths of the Gospel given to us by our Lord. Reflect, today, upon how fully you are “with” our Lord and “gather” with Him. Do you fully accept all that He has taught and also seek to gather many others for the Kingdom of God? If you do not see yourself actively believing in and participating in the mission of our Lord, then heed these words of Jesus and allow them to gently but firmly challenge you, so that you will more fully work to build up God's Kingdom in your own heart and in the world all around you. My glorious King, You desire to build up Your Kingdom in my life and, through me, in the lives of others. Give me the grace and courage I need to fully accept all that You have taught me and to actively become an instrument of Your grace and truth in the world. May I be with You in all things, dear Lord, and gather many into Your loving arms of grace.

In this week's solo pod romp, I rip into propaganda's favorite trick: the false dichotomy. From the engineered clash between Indigenous and Hispanic culture in Santa Fe, to the broader Left/Right puppet show, I expose how billionaire foundations and activist networks bankroll division while posing as agents of justice. I call out the hypocrisy of philanthrocapitalists funding “equity” with fortunes made off exploitation, and make the case for reclaiming neutrality, nuance, and inner authority as acts of cultural rebellion.Watch on Odysee.

On this episode, we explore data neutrality — and why ensuring unbiased, reliable data is fundamental to delivering AI-powered customer experiences. AI is everywhere in today's customer experiences, from chatbots handling order inquiries to copilots that help agents provide better support. However, the quality of these experiences depends entirely on the quality of the data powering them. When data is biased or compromised, it can lead to unfair treatment, poor personalization and inconsistent results across customer segments — ultimately damaging the brand trust and loyalty CX leaders work so hard to build.With 87% of U.S. consumers demanding transparency in how brands source data for AI models, and growing regulatory pressure around data governance, understanding data neutrality has become a business imperative. Our expert guests break down this complex topic in practical terms, sharing strategies for evaluating data sources, implementing proper auditing practices and choosing between custom and off-the-shelf datasets to support your CX goals.Listen for the compelling insights of Amith Nair, global vice president and general manager of Data & AI Solutions at TELUS Digital, and  Professor Renato Vicente,  associate professor of applied mathematics at the University of São Paulo and director of the TELUS Digital Research Hub.Show notes:Read more about the TELUS Digital survey on AI data transparency.

Have you ever caught yourself labelling your emotions as either good or bad, and wondered how that shapes the way you coach or experience life? In this episode of the podcast we begin a six-part series exploring the six principles of emotions coaching, drawn from our Emotions Coaching Practitioner Training. We open with the very first principle: Emotions are neither good nor bad. Too often, we attach labels to our feelings. We might view stress or anxiety as “bad” and chase after happiness as “good.” But when we categorise emotions in this way, we miss out on their deeper value. In our conversation, Jo and I share how emotions become defined not by their presence, but by the beliefs we attach to them. Zoe reflects on her own journey of recognising anxiety, an emotion she once denied, and how opening space for it led her to new levels of self-awareness and healthier strategies. We also discuss how coaches can inadvertently get pulled into their clients' “get away from” energy, and how holding space with neutrality invites curiosity, possibility, and transformational growth. Throughout this episode, we show why suspending judgement around emotions is one of the most powerful coaching tools you can bring to your practice. Rather than trying to “fix” a client's feelings, emotions coaching creates the conditions for richer insight, more authentic self-connection, and ultimately, greater transformation.   Timestamps: 00:30 – Introducing the six-part emotions coaching series 00:57 – What it means that emotions are neither good nor bad 02:20 – How clients bring emotions into coaching sessions 03:35 – The role of neutrality and curiosity in coaching 06:19 – Zoe's personal experience of recognising anxiety 08:39 – Why emotions carry wisdom and strategies 13:16 – Coaching conversations around anger and fear 16:38 – Boundaries, aggression, and coaching at the root cause 18:40 – Why emotions coaching is not “fluffy” but deeply transformational 21:01 – The power of startling questions in coaching 22:00 – How to develop your own emotions coaching toolkit   Key Lessons Learned: Labelling emotions as good or bad prevents us from accessing their full value. Curiosity and neutrality allow clients to explore emotions without fear or resistance. Denying emotions (like anxiety or anger) can cause them to resurface in unhelpful ways. Emotions often carry wisdom, strategies, and insight when welcomed rather than avoided. Coaches add transformational depth by holding space for emotions instead of rushing to “fix” them. Leaders, executives, and clients alike benefit from having permission to explore emotions beyond surface goals.   Keywords: Emotions coaching, Coaching principles, Neutrality in coaching, Transformational coaching, Coaching and anxiety, Emotional intelligence coaching, Anger in coaching conversations, Coaching for leaders, Stress and coaching practice, Emotions are neither good nor bad,   Links & Resources: http://www.igcompany.com/emotionscoaching

Explore three distinct types of equanimity: equanimity as a feeling, equanimity about insight, and equanimity as specific neutrality.

Ultimately, the aim is to reduce suffering by steering clear of extreme emotional reactions. ·       Equanimity as a Feeling: Discover how to identify different feelings—pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral—and learn to adopt a stance of neutrality that allows you to experience these feelings without clinging to them or reacting with aversion. ·       Equanimity About Insight: Margaret shares the importance of practicing non-attachment to the insights gained during meditation.

What if payment chains are the “AWS moment for money”? Simon Taylor — fintech veteran, ex-Barclays crypto lead, and author of FinTech Brainfood — joins Bankless to map the convergence of fintech and crypto. From stablecoins serving as the Trojan horse for tokenisation to Tempo's push for a payments chain, Simon explains why finance is on the brink of its biggest infrastructure shift since Visa. We cover the rise of payments L1s, the regulatory roulette of stablecoins, and whether neutrality and permissionlessness can survive in corporate-led networks.

Join us as we unpack three distinct types of equanimity: equanimity as an enlightenment factor, equanimity of energy, and equanimity about formations. Margaret's insights into these essential aspects of Buddhist philosophy provide listeners with practical tools for maintaining emotional balance in the face of life's ups and downs. Key Highlights: ·       Equanimity as an Enlightenment Factor: This episode begins with the exploration of equanimity as one of the seven factors essential for enlightenment. Margaret discusses how cultivating equanimity helps in abandoning mental defilements and regulates our emotional responses. Through seclusion, dispassion, and cessation, we can nurture this vital quality in our lives. ·       Five Paths to Equanimity: Discover the five practical paths to achieving equanimity, which emphasize maintaining neutrality towards all living beings, avoiding favoritism, and fostering connections with neutral individuals. These strategies serve to strengthen our resolve and enhance our equanimity in daily interactions. ·       Equanimity of Energy: Tune in to learn about the delicate balance of energy necessary for optimal performance, as explained through the Yerkes-Dodson Law. Margaret compares this balance to the tuning of lute strings, highlighting how too much tension or too little can hinder our ability to concentrate and meditate effectively. ·       Equanimity About Formations: The discussion shifts to understanding the impermanence of our experiences and the critical realization that formations are not inherently "me" or "mine." This perspective is vital for progressing spiritually, from the entry point on the path to achieving the state of an arhant. ·       Core Insights for Life: As we navigate challenging times, Margaret emphasizes the importance of cultivating a "wise mind and gentle heart." This approach is not only practical but essential for maintaining equanimity amidst turmoil. ·       Spiritual Development: Wrapping up the episode, we reflect on the importance of recognizing suffering, impermanence, and the concept of non-self as foundational elements in the journey toward spiritual neutrality and growth. Tune in now to gain valuable insights that can help you navigate your own path with greater equanimity.

From BMX tracks to the Iditarod trail, and from Yale Law to global justice reform, Matt Garretson's life is a masterclass in resilience, curiosity, and purpose-driven innovation. In this episode, Jeff Bloomfield sits down with Matt to explore how his unique blend of risk-taking, compassion, and intellectual rigor led him to reshape the legal services sector, build businesses that impact thousands, and embark on extreme adventures that test the limits of human endurance. Whether it's resolving billion-dollar settlements, pioneering AI in the legal industry, or pedaling 1,000 miles across frozen Alaska, Matt's story is proof that the best results come from observing, engaging, adapting, and persevering. His daily formula:  “My guiding mantra each day was that I must be methodical about observing (all data re terrain, weather, gear, etc.), engaging (with the underlying assumptions derived from those observations), adapting (because everything changes constantly when executing in an unpredictable/uncontrolled environment), persevering (having faith/confidence that i have the body, mind and spirit to accomplish the daily goals if i stay methodical about this loop). I broke each day into hour segments meaning for instance i didnt plan for 60 miles or 15 hours each day….i just needed to make it for instance from 9 AM to 10AM…then i can make it to 11 and if I made it to 11 then certainly 12 was possible etc. 18 days later I was in Nome!!!” This isn't just a story about legal innovation or adventure sports — it's a blueprint for high-stakes decision-making in life and business. Matt's “Observe, Engage, Adapt, Persevere” framework, forged in the crucible of both courtroom battles and Arctic winds, is a practical leadership model for anyone navigating uncertainty. Leaders, entrepreneurs, and high-performers will walk away with actionable insights on risk management, building trust in complex negotiations, integrating AI into human-centered processes, and maintaining clarity when the stakes are high and the variables keep changing. Origin shapes destiny — The combination of his father's risk-taking spirit and his mother's intellectual curiosity formed the foundation of Matt's worldview. Unconventional paths have power — Yale undergrad + night law school created a rare blend of elite theory and gritty pragmatism. Faith in action — Matt's theology degree grew out of reconciling the good and harm he saw in organized religion. Neutrality is a business model — Creating fair, transparent systems for complex legal settlements can transform entire industries. AI accelerates trust — Tools like Pattern Data and Jane are reshaping how the legal profession processes and shares information. Adventure as a leadership lab — Extreme endurance events sharpen decision-making and adaptability. Observe, Engage, Adapt, Persevere — A simple yet powerful framework for survival and success. Moisture management matters — Small, counterintuitive habits can make or break long-term success in any high-stakes environment. Find the middle ground — In negotiations, you've likely reached fairness when both sides are slightly unhappy but see the logic. Impact over income — Matt's latest venture in Guatemala proves that business growth and social good can be inseparable. 00:00 – Intro & guest setup 05:35 – Matt's origin story: risk-taking father, intellectual mother 09:00 – Discovering law as a second-phase career 11:55 – Theological studies: reconciling faith and harm 17:28 – The birth of a neutral legal administrator 21:11 – World Trade Center, BP Oil Spill, and mass tort work 27:39 – Truth, accountability, and finding reliable sources 31:44 – AI's role in transforming the legal industry 39:23 – Epic adventures: Great Divide, Baja Divide, Iditarod 45:58 – The Observe–Engage–Adapt–Persevere model 53:48 – Burnbright: blending business, social impact, and job creation

In today's episode of the Play Therapy Podcast, I continue our Art of the Session series by outlining three key session guidelines that don't fall into the typical “skills” category, but are essential to ensuring we remain adherent to the CCPT model. These are not techniques, but foundational principles we must uphold in every session: (1) Don't label—follow the child's metaphor, (2) Maintain neutrality, and (3) Never possess knowledge the child doesn't possess. I break each of these down with specific examples and explain why they're so critical to creating a therapeutic environment that respects the child's autonomy, encourages self-trust, and preserves the purity of the CCPT approach. These guidelines help safeguard the therapeutic process and remind us that even small deviations—like labeling a toy or defining a word—can have significant impact on the child's experience in the playroom. This is a vital reminder that our job is not to teach, but to create space for children to discover, express, and grow.

Margaret takes a closer look at the work of the renowned 5th-century monk, Buddhaghosa, and his influential text, the Visuddhimagga, or "Path of Purification." With a focus on two specific types of equanimity—the "six factored equanimity" and equanimity as a Brahmavihara—listeners will gain insight into how these concepts can help us develop mindfulness and clear comprehension in our daily lives. Discover how equanimity can foster a sense of neutrality towards experiences and emotions, allowing us to respond to life's ups and downs without being swayed by bias or aversion. As Margaret highlights the distinctions between the equanimity of the renunciant and that of the householder, she invites listeners to reflect on their own experiences and understandings of balance. The conversation emphasizes that equanimity is not a state of apathy but rather an active engagement with the world that transcends personal biases. By nurturing equanimity alongside the other Brahmavaharas—loving-kindness, compassion, and sympathetic joy—we find ourselves better equipped to face life's adversities with grace and compassion.  

In this conversation, Eugenia Cheng discusses the importance of making math accessible and engaging for everyone, particularly those who have been discouraged by traditional education methods.

The absence of a coherent international response to the crises in Gaza and Ukraine has raised questions about what used to be called the international rules-based order. Does it still exist at all, or has the reality of raw military and economic power trumped every other consideration?Against that backdrop, what role, if any, does the United Nations have to play? And what is Ireland's role within the UN?On today's podcast Niall McCann, who recently left the United Nations Development Programme after more than a decade working throughout the UN system in positions in Africa, Europe and the Middle East, talks to Hugh about what he found at the UN, why it isn't working and how he thinks it should be reformed.He also explains why Ireland's standing within the UN is lower than is sometimes suggested.

In this episode, you'll journey through the trials and tribulations faced by the Bodhisattva, who was born into wealth yet felt increasingly disconnected from the material world. As he sought to embody the perfection of equanimity, he chose to leave behind his riches and venture into a life of simplicity and self-discovery. Through his interactions with disrespectful children and wise villagers, we witness how he navigated the spectrum of human behavior, responding with a remarkable neutrality that teaches us how to approach both admiration and disdain with a tranquil heart. Join Margaret as she unpacks this enlightening tale, encouraging listeners to reflect on their own lives and the ways in which they can cultivate a sense of balance amid the inevitable chaos around them. Together, let's aspire to develop the same unshakeable equanimity that the Bodhisattva demonstrated, fostering a deeper understanding of our emotions and reactions. 

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has left hospitals in ruins, humanitarian corridors blocked, and millions of civilians struggling to survive. In this episode of The Voices of War, Maz speaks with Ashley Killeen, Director of Engagement at Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) Australia & New Zealand, about what it means to provide humanitarian aid in Gaza while upholding neutrality in the face of accusations of genocide and systematic violence. With MSF doctors and nurses forced to work in decimated hospitals, perform amputations without anaesthetic, and place five babies in a single incubator, Gaza's collapse is exposing the limits of neutrality in modern conflict. Ashley explains why MSF calls Gaza a “systematic genocide”, the ethical red lines Israel wants humanitarian organisations to cross, and why silence can make humanitarians complicit. This episode dives deep into the medical ethics of war, the weaponisation of aid, and the toll on humanitarian staff who bear witness in one of the most politically charged conflicts of our time. It asks the hardest question: when does neutrality protect, and when does it kill? Resources This is not aid. This is orchestrated killing. – Read the report: https://msf.org.au/sites/default/files/2025-08/msf_gazareport_thisisnotaid.pdf Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) Australia – Support their work: https://msf.org.au/donate The Voices of War Podcast Website – Full episodes and extras: https://thevoicesofwar.com Newsletter – Join for deeper analysis and updates: https://thevoicesofwar.substack.com

Mike Fetherston has walked a long, humbling road through addiction and recovery. one that has included alcohol, drugs, food addiction, bulimia, and as a result, morbid obesity which plagued him for much of his life. His struggle began early. By the age of two and a half, Mike was already turning to food as a coping mechanism, saying he loved food and wanted to feel as full as he could, from as early a time as he could remember. Childhood brought emotional instability and deep discomfort, and food quickly became his escape. As his addictions grew, he eventually faced life-threatening consequences not only from substance use but also from disordered and compulsive eating. Mike found sobriety from drugs and alcohol in 2005. Three years later, in 2008, he entered his first 12-step food recovery program, beginning what he often calls the hardest journey of all. Food was harder than drugs or alcohol. He admits, wrestling with the question of whether complete abstinence from food was even possible, and often would think to himself that people who said they had it were either lying or didn't have it as bad off as he did. For the next decade, he cycled through food addiction and eating disorder treatment programs and countless 12-step meetings. Despite his best efforts, lasting recovery eluded him. Eventually, he reached a point of total desperation, physically broken, emotionally hopeless, and eating to die. Then, in a moment he least expected, the right combination of desperation, willingness, and support came together for him. It marked the turning point toward the most profound recovery and wellness he had ever experienced. Since 2018, Mike's recovery has not been perfect or linear. He has relapsed more than once, but each time, he has returned to the support and structure needed to realign with his recovery. He believes his life depends on maintaining abstinence, and his resilience lies in never giving up and continuing to show up and seek recovery even when hope felt out of reach. Mike believes that if recovery can happen for a Man as hopeless as he was, then it can be had by anyone. Now in his 50s, Mike is healthy, thriving, and enjoying a beautiful life with his family. He has maintained a 150-pound weight loss for many years and speaks openly about how addiction nearly took his life but recovery gave him a new one. Mike's story is also one of service and joy. He transformed his love of food and a lifelong passion for cooking into a recovery-focused mission. Since 2020, he has led hundreds of cooking and meal-planning classes at Milestones in Recovery (https://www.milestonesprogram.org/),  known as Cooking with Mike. In these sessions, he shows that people in recovery from eating disorders and food addiction can enjoy abundant, delicious, and nourishing meals while maintaining abstinence. His philosophy is simple: recovery doesn't mean deprivation, it means positive transformation, supported by planning and mindful preparation. In Fall of  2020, Mike enrolled in the INFACT School (https://infactschool.com/), deepening his knowledge of food addiction and treatment. That education inspired him to expand his role from recovery sponsor to certified counselor, allowing him to guide others professionally. He now encourages others who feel called to this work to pursue certification as well.

The period from September 1939 to early 1942 was crucial for Soviet foreign policy and coincided with the early stages of the Second World War, including the Great Patriotic War. In Stalin's Great Game, Michael Jabara Carley unpacks the complexities of Soviet diplomacy during this time, addressing key issues such as the Soviet-Finnish Winter War, Soviet views on the fall of France and the Battle of Britain, efforts to remain neutral in Europe, Soviet relations with both Britain and Nazi Germany, and the formation of the Grand Alliance against the Axis powers. Drawing on extensive research from multilingual archives in France, Britain, the United States, and the USSR, Carley offers a comprehensive narrative that explores Soviet intelligence activities, especially of the "Cambridge Five" spy ring and Nazi Germany's preparations for Operation Barbarossa, the invasion of the Soviet Union. The book also re-evaluates historiographical debates on Stalin's interpretation of Soviet intelligence and Hitler's intentions towards the USSR. The third volume in Carley's trilogy on the origins and early conduct of the Second World War, Stalin's Great Game provides a fresh re-examination of key events and interpretations by both Western and Soviet historians, introducing new ideas and perspectives on this critical period.

The shadow of the First World War hung over the world. The victors were exhausted and the vanquished wanted revenge.

Join Us for Worship: Sundays at 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM https://www.flourishinggrace.org/plan-your-visit In this powerful message from Luke 11:14–26, Pastor Josh Brown delivers a bold and Spirit-led challenge to our assumptions about neutrality in the Christian life. Preaching from a moment in Scripture where Jesus casts out a demon and is immediately accused of doing so by the power of Satan, Josh calls us to confront a deeper reality: there is no such thing as spiritual neutrality. You are either with Jesus or against Him—there is no safe middle. As Josh walks us through this intense and often-misunderstood passage, he reveals the beauty of Jesus' authority, the seriousness of rejecting His power, and the invitation extended to each of us to fully surrender our lives. Drawing on the imagery Jesus uses—the strong man versus the stronger man—Josh helps us see that the Christian life is not one of trying harder or simply cleaning ourselves up. Jesus didn't come to offer behavior modification; He came to take over. When we stay "neutral," we may think we're safe, but in reality, we're vulnerable, empty, and exposed to spiritual regression. A clean house without Jesus still ends up in ruin. With humor, passion, and deep scriptural insight, this sermon digs into the Pharisees' hypocrisy, our culture's tendency to redefine what is good and true, and the human desire to remain in control rather than surrender to the authority of Christ. Josh shows us how easy it is to intellectually acknowledge the power of Jesus while refusing to bow the knee to Him. But Jesus won't be an accessory to our lives—He is the King who calls for our complete allegiance. This sermon is also a call to evaluate whether we have truly allowed Christ to take occupancy in our lives or whether we're just managing appearances. Are you filled with the Spirit, or are you simply swept and empty? Are you tethered to the One who conquered sin and death, or are you still trying to manage your life in your own strength? If you've ever felt like you're drifting spiritually, wondering why your faith feels stale, or trying to straddle the line between devotion and comfort, this message is for you. It will challenge you to stop coasting and start surrendering. It will remind you that you don't fight for victory—you fight from it, because the stronger man has already come and claimed the victory on your behalf. In a world that constantly tries to blur the lines between good and evil, Jesus draws a clear one. And He invites you to cross it—to step out of apathy, out of fear, and out of false neutrality—into the freedom, fullness, and flourishing of life with Him. Whether you're new to church, wrestling with faith, or walking with Jesus for years, this sermon will compel you to ask a simple but life-defining question: Am I truly surrendered? Or am I just neutral? Watch now and experience the call to take Jesus at His word, to let go of pride and control, and to live fully anchored, protected, filled, and empowered by the one true King. The stronger man is not just strong enough to break your chains—He is strong enough to carry you every day after that. Will you let Him?

This week we are re-releasing one my personal favorite conversations and a fan favorite episode! This is a MUST listen (or re-listen!) Body image and and neutrality is something I didn't really learn about until I was an adult, after struggling for years. Especially after having my own kids I began to wonder, how do we do better for our kids so that they don't have to struggle with the same body image issues like most of us did as kids? On this weeks episode we dive into the topic and address some important questions! How can we talk to our kids about their body early on & in their teens to promote body neutrality? What are things we should avoid doing or saying to nurture body positivity in our daughters? Our kids are growing up surrounded by social media and are consuming damaging content for their views on themselves and their body. How can we help them avoid the comparison cycle of unrealistic body image on the internet? How can we help empower our daughters to stand up for themselves when their body is being negatively talked about by classmates, friends, family, or strangers? What are signs that we should be aware of that may indicate our child is struggling with an eating disorder?

Mini-series Part 2: The Safehouse of NeutralityIn this episode, Maureen continues the deep dive into how whiteness shape-shifts—this time through the soft power of institutional neutrality.From school boards banning books to nonprofits redirecting equity funds, neutrality is used as a strategy, not a stance. With help from Audre Lorde and Ta-Nehisi Coates, Maureen explores how whiteness hides inside “objectivity,” “professionalism,” and “donor comfort”—shielding itself from critique while punishing disruption.We also return to the film Sinners, where vampires can't feed unless invited in—a sharp metaphor for how institutions drain labor and integrity under the guise of collaboration and care.This episode is an invitation to notice how neutrality shows up in your body, your choices, and your leadership—and to replace silence with principled transparency.In this episode we explore:The DEI pullback across schools, nonprofits, and philanthropyHow neutrality protects whiteness by disguising harm as harmonyAudre Lorde's warning about the master's tools and institutional complicityTa-Nehisi Coates on policy, legality, and the false myth of apolitical violenceWhy discernment and transparency are tools of liberatory practiceThis week's reflection:Where do I use the language of “neutrality,” “professionalism,” or “objectivity” to avoid discomfort?What's the cost of that avoidance—and who pays it?Where have I been complicit in protecting the institution rather than disrupting the harm?When have I confused conflict avoidance with actual care?Support the showThis episode was created with deep love, and deep thanks to the frameworks and tools within Cultivating Intersectional Leadership, a course I co-created with Diedra Barber.

Las dos guerras mundiales afectaron a prácticamente toda Europa. Sólo un puñado de países se mantuvieron neutrales en ambas. En la primera fueron algunos más. Noruega, muy dependiente del comercio marítimo, sufrió serías pérdidas en su flota mercante lo que generó inflación y escasez, pero consiguieron evitar la temida invasión mediante buenos oficios diplomáticos. Suecia, que había declarado la neutralidad perpetua en 1814, tuvo que padecer un bloqueo británico que restringió su comercio con Alemania. Eso le forzó a tener que claudicar ante los aliados. Dinamarca, que no llegaba a los tres millones de habitantes en 1914, experimentó un boom inicial seguido de una crisis ya que dependía mucho de Alemania y el Reino Unido. Los Países Bajos, en una posición central, actuaron como puerto de salida al Atlántico para los alemanes. Eso les costó algunas pérdidas en su marina mercante e incluso requisas de buques por parte de los aliados. Suiza, neutral desde el congreso de Viena, tuvo que lidiar con sus propias divisiones internas y una aguda escasez de alimentos, pero sirvió como refugio para innumerables refugiados, entre ellos Vladimir Lenin. España, debilitada por la guerra de Cuba, declaró su neutralidad y se benefició de un auge exportador que trajo consigo inflación y malestar social. En la segunda guerra mundial solo cinco grandes países europeos permanecieron neutrales hasta el final. Suecia adoptó una neutralidad "acomodaticia", permitió el tránsito de los alemanes por su territorio y les vendió grandes cantidades de mineral de hierro, un suministro vital para el III Reich. Sólo al final de la guerra y por presión aliada se vieron forzados a restringir los envíos. Suiza, rodeada por potencias del Eje desde 1940, dependía del carbón alemán, por lo que tuvieron que esforzarse para que la neutralidad no sólo lo fuese, sino también lo pareciese. España estaba recién salida de la guerra civil y muy debilitada. Franco se dejó querer por el Eje. Tras la derrota de Francia pasó de la neutralidad a la "no beligerancia”. Durante buena parte de la guerra se decantó por los alemanes, aunque nunca llegó a declarar la guerra a los aliados. Portugal hizo lo contrario, se mantuvo neutral, pero decantándose hacia los aliados. Irlanda aprovechó la guerra para reafirmar su independencia del Reino Unido. La neutralidad marcó la posguerra de los que se decidieron por ella. Muchos abandonaron esta postura tan pronto como terminó la guerra: Noruega, Dinamarca, Portugal y los Países Bajos se unieron a la OTAN en 1949. Suecia prefirió seguir siendo neutral hasta que con motivo de la guerra de Ucrania se unió a la OTAN. España se quedó aislada durante una década, un ostracismo europeo del que salió gracias a una serie de acuerdos con EEUU que la aproximaron a la órbita occidental, un viaje que culminó con su ingreso en la OTAN en 1982. Hoy sólo quedan dos países formalmente neutrales en Europa: Irlanda y Suiza, a los que habría que sumar a Austria que tras la guerra recobró su independencia y decidió imitar a sus vecinos de los Alpes. La neutralidad siempre ha sido un equilibrio extraordinariamente frágil, por eso pocos pueden permitírsela en Europa. Si algo se aprendió en el siglo XX, es que cuando estalla una guerra pocas cosas hay más difíciles que mantenerse neutrales.

In this episode, I share my personal experience visiting the ancient Kom Ombo Temple in Egypt — a powerful place dedicated to duality and balance. As I reflect on the energy and symbolism of the temple, I explore how it mirrors our own inner journey: the need to embrace every part of ourselves, both light and shadow. We dive into the power of neutrality — not as indifference, but as a grounded space of acceptance, where true transformation can happen. This is an invitation to see your life without judgment and to remember that all experiences serve your evolution.
