Hey mission fam! In this special episode#210, I'm sharing an incredible interview from the Christ-Centered Family Summit with Stephanie Bundrock. We dive deep into the world of missionary mindset, anxiety, and how we can support our missionaries before, during, and after their missions. I share my journey of becoming an LDS mission coach and why I'm so passionate about helping young adults navigate the unique challenges of missionary life. We talk about some game-changing strategies for managing anxiety, including my favorite technique of "becoming the compassionate watcher." I break down how parents and leaders can support missionaries by normalizing their feelings, validating their experiences, and meeting them exactly where they are - just like Christ would. Whether you're a preparing missionary, a current missionary, a return missionary, or a missionary parent, this episode is packed with insights on how to approach the mission experience with love, understanding, and emotional resilience. As a bonus, I'm offering two free resources: a Preparing Missionary Cheat Sheet and a guide with 5 Tips to Help Your Return Missionary Transition Home. These tools are designed to help you and your missionary build confidence, manage emotions, and create a Christ-centered mission experience. Grab them in the show notes, and remember - you've got this, and I'm here to support you every step of the way! As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did. Until next week my friends.

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan visited Turkey late last week for talks with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the first formal meeting of its kind and a move Yerevan described as a "historic" step. Despite previous efforts - and a slew of concessions by Pashinyan to both Azerbaijan and Turkey over the past years - there has been little tangible progress in normalizing relations. Dr. Laurence Broers, an associate fellow in the Russia and Eurasia Program at Chatham House and an expert on the South Caucasus region, joins Thanos Davelis as we take a closer look at this normalization effort.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Armenia's Pashinyan, Turkey's Erdogan to hold 'historic' talks amid Iran-Israel warArmenian PM Pashinyan meets Erdogan in Turkey on 'historic' visitArmenian prime minister discusses reconciliation with Erdogan in landmark Turkey visitPM touts defense spending at NATO summitLibya, Turkey sign MoU on offshore areas, Athens reiterates rejection

In this episode of Unashamed Unafraid, hosts Chris and Sam sit down with Roland as he shares his poignant journey of living a double life, challenging his faith, and struggling with process addiction. Roland talks about growing up in a strict religious environment, questioning beliefs at a young age, and the impact of living a double life. He dives into how his need for validation and admiration led to compulsive behaviors that eventually resulted in a traumatic arrest at 14. Roland unpacks the concept of process addiction, explaining the necessity of addressing the underlying desire for validation rather than treating it as a typical addiction. He also discusses his path to recovery and the creation of his treatment program for high-achieving men, 'Successful Addict.' Roland emphasizes the importance of legacy, spirituality, and redefining what true admiration and respect mean in overcoming addiction. This episode provides deep insights into the challenges of process addiction and offers hope and practical advice for those struggling with similar issues.*To connect with Roland, visit his website, check out his book on Amazon, and listen to his podcast!Follow us on social media!

In this episode, we'll dive deeper into the changes and challenges brought about by AI, particularly since the November 22 moment with ChatGPT. We'll explore how AI has impacted industrial systems engineering, data quality, and the utilization of massive amounts of data in factories and supply chains.Introduction Let's start with the big picture. AI has been around for a while, but the renewed focus on data quality and the challenges of handling vast amounts of data have become more prominent. The November 22 moment with ChatGPT triggered a significant shift in how we approach AI and data.Importance of Discovery One of the key aspects of an industrial-grade data fabric is the importance of discovery. Access to data, metadata, and data models is crucial for understanding and comprehending the information. This enables tooling, whether AI-assisted or analytics environments, to work effectively.Normalization is another critical factor. Ensuring common data formats at the consumption layer, such as everything in degrees Fahrenheit, is essential for consuming, discovering, and transforming data. Multistream contextualization also plays a significant role in this process.Data Storage and Manipulation Where does the data live? This is a separate issue that needs to be addressed. Whether the data is dumped into a data lake or handled ad hoc, the ability to manipulate data at cloud scale has seen significant changes. The technical obstacles are dropping, making it easier to bridge into source systems using well-described interfaces.Overall, the changes brought about by AI have had a tremendous impact on industrial systems engineering. The focus on interoperability, open systems, and solving large-scale problems has become more prominent. The technical obstacles are getting easier to overcome, and the opportunities for using AI and data fabrics are exciting.Let's continue the conversation and explore more about industrial-grade data fabrics and their role in the era of AI.Would you like to be a guest on our growing podcast?If you have an intriguing, thought provoking topic you'd like to discuss on our podcast, please contact our host Colin Masson at cmasson@arcweb.com or Our Producer Tom CabotView all the episodes here: https://thedigitaltransformationpodcast.buzzsprout.com

Mary welcomes back Olivier Melnick to discuss the new normal: antisemitism. He is a Jewish believer in Jesus from France, the son of Holocaust survivors, whose maternal grandfather was killed by the Nazis. Olivier is an internationally known speaker on antisemitism. He holds a BA from Moody Bible Institute and a masters from Dallas Theological Seminary, and has been equipping believers to understand and fight antisemitism since 2000. The ramping up of antisemitism is a complete surprise to some, it's not that long ago that they were the target of genocide during WW2, and if anyone alive has a parent who fought in that war, the connection is still strong. So why now? How are things different? Today we talk about the stages of normalization from his book, "The Normalization of Antisemitism". World leaders are not so subtly being drawn into this hate as the world turns their back on Israel. Words matter. Words turn to violence. Even our neighbor to the north is being drawn in. Israel can do nothing right, so they might as well do what they are going to do to stave off the end of the west through violence, immigration, and Islam.   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

Edition No145 | 23-05-2025 - Julia Davis has penned a superb article, published on CEPA's website. She describes the Kremlin's propagandists as being in ebullient mood as they anticipate the disengagement of the US from mediating in the Ukraine conflict. This is what they wanted all along, and Trump is threatening to give them exactly what they were craving. Normalization on the world stage, and absolute impunity to continue the war. Don't look to the sterile public statements and press releases to understand the mind and mood of the Kremlin, states Julia Davis, but listen to its highly paid propagandists in the state-controlled TV studios. They are regularly briefed by the Kremlin's handlers on what they can and can't say, and the scripted narratives of TV discussions are highly choreographed to show the regime's views and aims, and where any internal doubts exist, the debate traces the outlines and boundaries of the potential directions under discussion. The May 19th phone conversation between Putin and Trump about a possible peace deal in Ukraine is a classic case in point. The US administration gave a positive, if distant view of a potential peace negotiation. Holding out a whisp of hope for future renewal of dialogue. The Russian take, on the other hand, was the same as it has always been. Russian state television repeatedly stated that Moscow has no interest in a ceasefire or peace — unless it amounts to Ukraine's full and unconditional capitulation. No change in policy, or actions supporting it.----------LINK:https://cepa.org/article/russia-to-ukraine-you-want-a-ceasefire-and-i-want-you-dead/----------Your support is massively appreciated!SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGNEvents in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon CurtainNEXT EVENTS - LVIV, KYIV AND ODESA THIS MAY.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur first live events this year in Lviv and Kyiv were a huge success.

“A tranquil mind gives life to the body” Proverbs 14:30a NAB    Submit a Podcast Listener Question HERE!    Sister Maria Teresita and Claire Paglia join us back on the podcast to continue to explore tools to help us in the atrium and in our lives establish freedom and discipline.  We explore the Montessori concept of Normalization so that we can be further equip to have true freedom and responsibility with children.   Sister Maria Teresita is a Dominican Sister of St. Cecilia. She currently serves as an upper-elementary guide at St. Philip Learning Center, a Catholic Montessori homeschool enrichment program in Franklin, TN, a catechist for Levels 2 and 3 in a parish setting, and a formation leader for CGS Levels 1 and 2. Sister holds an AMI diploma at the Elementary level, a B.S. in Interdisciplinary Studies (Aquinas College, Nashville), and a M.A. in Montessori Education (Loyola University, Maryland). She has enjoyed nearly 20 years serving children as a classroom teacher in both conventional and Montessori settings and 14 years as a catechist of the Good Shepherd in all three atria levels. Sister began her Montessori journey as a child in a Montessori school where she developed a deep love for learning. She is a convert to the Catholic faith and delights in every opportunity to “listen to God with children.”    Claire Paglia is a child of the atrium. As an adult, she is an AMI-trained guide who has been in the primary environment for 12 years. She holds a bachelor's degree in elementary education and a master's degree in education with a concentration in Montessori from Loyola University, Maryland. She worked for a year as a course assistant for the primary training center. In 2012, she received her Level I formation and has been a catechist at her church in varying capacities since then. She enjoys spending time with her family and particularly enjoys preparing Montessori-friendly spaces at home for her three children.    Episodes to help you further explore Freedom and Discipline:  Episode 4 – Normalization with Gabriela Perez  Episode 30 – Freedom and Discipline with Claire Paglia  Episode 133 – Freedom and Responsibility with Sr Mary Teresita  Episode 134 – Freedom and Responsibility for the First Plane Child  Episode 135 – Freedom and Responsibility for the Second Plane Child        BECOME AN ORGANIZATION MEMBER!  Organization Members are any entity (church/parish, school, regional group, diocese, etc.) that either offers CGS and/or supports those who serve the children as catechists, aides, or formation leaders) Organization Members also receive the following each month:  Bulletin Items - 4 bulletin articles for each month.

Instead it offers a glimpse into the religious life of the atrium, a specially prepared place for children to live out their silent request: “Help me come closer to God by myself.” Here we can see the child's spiritual capabilities and perhaps even find in our own souls the child long burdened with religious information. This book serves as a companion to the second volume, The Religious Potential of the Child 6 to 12 Years Old. The desire to have this essential text available in audio has been a long-held goal for many. The work of many hands has combined to bring this release to life as an audiobook.    Find out more about CGS:       Learn more about the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd     Follow us on Social Media-  Facebook at “The United States Association of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd”  Instagram-  cgsusa  Twitter- @cgsusa  Pinterest- Natl Assoc of Catechesis of the Good Shepherd USA  YouTube- catechesisofthegoodshepherd

The year 2025 marks the 10th anniversary of China's Digital Silk Road, which has become an increasingly crucial component of Xi Jinping's flagship foreign policy project: the Belt and Road Initiative. Over the past decade, China has massively expanded its digital infrastructure investment across the globe. Accompanying the investment has been the diffusion of China's digital governance norms and standards in recipient states. Countries in the Indo-Pacific have been at the forefront of this stretching Chinese digital influence landscape. The conflation between digital development cooperation and digital governance norms adoption has far-reaching implications that need to be better understood and addressed. To discuss the issue, Michael Caster joins host Bonnie Glaser. Caster is the Head of Global China Programmeat ARTICLE 19, an NGO that advances freedom of opinion and expression.

They introduce the $25/month Mind Shift membership, which offers private episodes, community calls, and exclusive content on the app "Skool" explaining why they chose it over Patreon.The conversation shifts to the Academy Awards, where they discuss the growing gap between Hollywood's elite and general audiences. Films like Emilia Perez and Anora become focal points, sparking a debate on whether the Academy prioritizes ideological messaging over compelling storytelling. Erwin points out how many of these films fail to resonate with everyday viewers, raising questions about Hollywood's direction and the broader cultural narratives shaping entertainment.Aaron and Erwin also examine how certain films normalize controversial themes, such as sex work. They discuss Anora and its portrayal of prostitution, reflecting on past films like Pretty Woman that romanticized the industry. Drawing from Erwin's personal experience working with individuals involved in prostitution, they highlight the harsh realities behind the glamorized depictions. This leads to a broader discussion on the influence of pornography, sex work, and the media's role in shaping perceptions about these industries.As the discussion turns to media influence, Aaron and Erwin explore how public narratives are often manipulated. They dissect government policies, media distortion, and how news outlets selectively frame stories to serve political agendas. Erwin shares an example involving the deportation of Venezuelan gang members, pointing out how the media spins narratives to fit ideological viewpoints. They stress the difficulty of discerning truth in an era where misinformation and bias dominate the conversation.The political landscape is another major theme, with Aaron and Erwin analyzing the shifting ideologies within the Democratic and Republican parties. They discuss how political identities evolve, touching on nationalism, global ideologies like communism, and the broader impact of cultural identity on national policies. They reflect on both major parties and the growing polarization in society.The episode concludes with personal reflections on the importance of open dialogue and deeper conversations.

This health crisis, while initially devastating, became a turning point in her life. It forced her to look inward and begin listening to her body's true needs for healing. After years of putting herself last and pushing through, she had to prioritize her mental and physical wellbeing. Following extensive consultations with various doctors, she took control of her healing journey by studying nutrition and learning to interpret her body's needs. Her dietary journey evolved from being Vegan for 5 years to Vegetarian, then Keto, and finally to a Carnivore diet, which she has maintained for 9 months. The switch to a Carnivore diet has brought her more healing than she experienced in the previous decade. Her health improvements include: - Normalization of her menstrual cycle after years of irregularity - Complete elimination of sugar cravings after 20+ years of severe cravings - Increased energy levels - Healthy weight gain - Enhanced mental focus - Increased libido - Reduced inflammation - First-time experience of true satiation - Reduced anxiety levels Drawing from her personal decade-long healing journey and education, she now helps others develop their own healing strategies. She believes in the power of small daily changes to build strength, clarity, and joy. Andrea finds her greatest fulfillment in walking alongside others on their health journeys, providing education, support, and guidance.
