I'd love to hear from you - Send me a text message Healing Isn't Serious, It's Sacred and PlayfulSomewhere along the way, healing became heavy.We were taught that growth has to be intense. That transformation must be serious. That if we're not digging deep into trauma, we're not doing it “properly.”But what if healing is not meant to feel like punishment?In this episode, I explore the power of joy, laughter, and lightness in the healing journey. We talk about why some of our most powerful, grounded, and clear moments happen when we are laughing deeply… when we feel playful… when we feel safe.I share reflections on:• Why joy is a sign of nervous system safety• How seriousness can become a survival pattern• The energetic power of laughter• Reconnecting with your inner child• How subtle inner child work can create profound shifts• Healing across time — past, present, and futureThere is great power in joy.There is clarity in play.There is healing in celebration.This episode is an invitation to soften… to reconnect with the part of you that once felt carefree… and to remember that healing is not just about processing pain, it's also about reclaiming your light.The episode concludes with a separate guided meditation: Inner Child Joy Activation.May this be your reminder that healing isn't serious.It's sacred.And it's playful.

In this powerful message, Pastor Mike continues our House of Discipleship series by diving into one of the ten "Rhythms of Jesus": Family on Mission. This week, we focus specifically on what it means to be a Marriage on Mission.Whether you are happily married, struggling, divorced, or single, this message is for you. Marriage isn't just a social contract or a pursuit of personal happiness — it's a divine "living parable" designed to reflect the character of God and the message of the Gospel to the world.Discussion Questions:- How does viewing marriage as a living parable that reflects God's character change the way you approach conflict and daily decisions in your relationship?- The sermon states that marriage is about holiness rather than happiness. How does this challenge cultural expectations, and what would it look like to prioritize holiness in your relationship?- How does the story of Hosea and Gomer challenge your understanding of forgiveness and reconciliation, especially when betrayal or hurt seems unforgivable?- For singles, how can you pursue Christlikeness now rather than waiting for marriage to begin your spiritual journey, and what destination are you setting for your life?- Which of the five bands of intimacy (social, intellectual, emotional, physical, spiritual) is weakest in your relationship, and what practical step can you take this week to strengthen it?

We must encourage and serve other believers. Learn more in this message from Mark 9.

As humans face the darkness of fear, violence, and division, something else is also stirring: an awakening field of courage, care, and connection.  This talk explores the primitive survival strategies that keep us in trance and the evolutionary currents of awakening that return us to belonging. Through reflection and practice, we are invited to nurture the river of love and justice moving through our world, and to step forward—together—into beloved community.   Our introduction music is from "Opening" by Adrienne Torf, © 2025 ABT Music

On this Thursday episode of the podcast, hosts Rachael Culpepper and Natalie Ambrose continue digging deeper on body image and practical ways to instill a healthy approach for our girls today.    In a time when cultural messages and marketing language are thrown around 24 hours a day, seven days a week, girls are bombarded by plenty of ways to think about their bodies, but none of it aligns with Scripture. So how can we help our daughters take hold of the messages, strip the lies of their power and urgency, and help girls rest in the Lord content with how He designed their bodies?     It's important for girls to understand that trends come and go—and it happens lightning fast these days! So if she's going to chase trends, she will likely always feel like she can never arrive—and she'll have no money! The Bible talks about the eternal beauty of a Godly girl's life that reflects Christ. This gives a more sustainable framework for girls to confidently navigate, trusting that God is working in their hearts no matter what the outward appearance looks like. Finally, the hosts offer a sobering look at how a mom's own baggage with body image can be inadvertently passed down to a daughter without a Scripture-empowered renewed mind.    Three Things to Remember:    When trends are your girl's measuring stick for beauty, she can be left feeling less-than.  Helping your girl weigh the temporary against the eternal will guide her to order beauty in a mature way.  Since your girl is watching how you handle your own sense of body image, it's important that we model this for her in Christian maturity.      Scriptures Referenced in this Episode:    1 Timothy 4:8  1 Peter 3:4  Romans 12:1-2        Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com.   To find or start an AHG Troop in your area, visit americanheritagegirls.org.

Episode Summary: Christians make up more than half of the American population, but culture is unraveling. The future of the West will not be decided by elections, but by whether the Church rises or retreats. In this episode, we're launching Occupy Till I Come with its author Darrow Miller and argue that the Great Commission includes discipling nations at the ground level of culture. The real crisis, Darrow contends, is the sacred/secular divide that has confined faith to Sundays and surrendered public life to rival worldviews.Let's recover the biblical and historical vision that once gave the West life and order. From the image of God as the foundation of dignity,  justice, and human rights to the Reformation's role in shaping our current cultures. Then we get practical: unpacking vocation as worship, hospitality as discipleship, Scripture applied to public life, and courage under pressure. This is the hour to build. To occupy. To stand with clarity and courage. History is calling. The Church must answer.Key Endorsements:“The ideas in this book built our country, and they can restore it as well.” Dr. Josh Mulvihill“This book is Darrow Miller's magnum opus. It captures the urgency of our current civilizational moment, calling for decisive choices that lead either to renewal or decline.” Nancy PearceyWho is Disciple Nations Alliance (DNA)? Since 1997, DNA's mission has been to equip followers of Jesus around the globe with a biblical worldview, empowering them to build flourishing families, communities, and nations.

What happens when you finally stop asking permission to be yourself? If you’ve been wondering how to stop people-pleasing as a homeschool mom, this conversation will show you it’s possible. Homeschool mom and creative entrepreneur Latoya shares her journey from living for everyone else to discovering what she actually wants—and why that shift changed everything in her homeschool life. This month’s focus: Nurturing the Nurturer — because you can’t give what you don’t have, and your kids don’t need your perfection. They need your presence. Latoya hit 40 and realized she’d spent decades doing what everyone expected—but had never asked herself what SHE actually wanted. As a homeschool mom, restaurant management graduate, and someone who always made sure everyone else was okay, the idea of prioritizing herself felt selfish. Scary. Wrong. But when she finally gave herself permission to explore her creativity, build her crochet business, and trust her own voice? That was when things began to shift. Her homeschool days became more peaceful. Her kids became more autonomous. And she discovered that choosing herself wasn’t selfish—it was the best thing she could do for her family. How to Stop People-Pleasing as a Homeschool Mom: Latoya’s Journey from Self-Sacrifice to Self-Trust What You’ll Discover in This Episode The Permission You’ve Been Waiting For: Why serving yourself actually serves your family better How to distinguish between what you want and what others expect of you The power of silence and solitude in discovering your authentic voice Why “waiting for the answer” is part of the process From Rigid to Present: Redefining Homeschool Success What a “good day” used to look like (spoiler: checking all the boxes) vs. what it looks like now How to choose peace over productivity for a more meaningful family life Why your kids’ autonomy grows when you honour your own The truth about gaps, “behind,” and what kids actually need to thrive Caribbean Flow vs. Hustle Culture: The cultural pressure to always be “doing something” Why presence matters more than productivity How to give yourself permission to just BE with your people What happens when you stop measuring success externally Creative Work as Life Force (Not Luxury): Why Latoya’s crochet business isn’t “extra”—it’s essential How creative pursuits actually fuel better mothering Choosing fulfillment over financial gain (and being okay with that) Teaching your kids to honour their interests by modeling it yourself The Inner Work Nobody Talks About: Why inner work is gritty, messy, and nothing like social media portrays How to extend to yourself the same compassion you give others The first small decision where you stop explaining and start trusting yourself Why disappointing others is sometimes the most aligned choice “What is best for you, for me is what’s best for them because it trickles into everything else. So the happier I become, the more comfortable I become with myself, the better everything around me gets.”  — Latoya Why This Conversation Matters This isn’t just another interview about homeschooling. It’s about what happens when you finally permit yourself to ask: Who am I beyond the roles I play? If you’re struggling with how to stop people-pleasing as a homeschool mom, Latoya’s story is for you. She’s every mom who’s ever wondered if wanting something for herself makes her selfish. But here’s what Latoya discovered (and what you will too): When you choose yourself, your kids don’t suffer. They thrive. Because they get to see what it looks like to honor your own voice, trust your own knowing, and live from alignment instead of obligation. Your homeschool doesn’t need more curriculum. It needs more of YOU—the real you, the aligned you, the unapologetic you.

Welcome to today's topic, "Strong Before Busy: Rebuilding the Right Foundation." This season of life: halftime, mid-career or midlife, is for those standing in a quieter, truer in-between—when the old rhythms no longer drive your days, but the next chapter hasn't fully taken shape. Before filling your calendar or chasing the next opportunity, we pause to ask a better question: what kind of strength does this season actually require? In this episode, we explore what it means to rebuild from the inside out—strengthening how you think, what anchors you spiritually, how honestly you assess the abilities you've earned, and how intentionally you define the life you want to live now. Because the most meaningful second half doesn't come from doing more—it comes from getting grounded first, and then moving forward with purpose.

In this sermon, Fr. Younan William reflects on the true meaning and purpose of the Great Fast as a season of spiritual renewal and loyalty to Christ. He emphasizes that fasting is not merely about dietary restrictions but a tool for gaining self-control, deepening prayer, repentance, and fellowship with Christ and the church. Fr. Younan encourages preparing the right mindset, combining physical fasting with spiritual practices, and consecrating time away from distractions like media addiction. He also stresses the importance of seriousness, consistency, and adhering to the church's fasting rules under the guidance of one's spiritual father. By avoiding half-hearted fasting and focusing on inner transformation, believers can persevere through challenges and strengthen their spiritual journey. Fr. Younan calls on all to follow Christ not only for blessings but even amid hardships, walking with Him in humility and endurance.

Episode #1097 How do you encourage your partner to grow… without making them feel like they're not enough? That's the question we're digging into in this episode A lot of men make this mistake. They start doing personal development. They feel better. They see the benefits. Then they turn to their wife and say, "You should do this too." What she hears is, "Something's wrong with you." And that's where the resistance starts. We talk about why pushing growth almost always backfires, and what actually works instead. It starts with being the example. Not in a holier-than-thou way. Not in a "I've figured it out" way. But in a grounded, consistent way where you just live it. When you're doing the work, sharing what you're learning, and applying it in your own life, it becomes contagious. We also get into the idea of judgment and the gap. The gap between where you are and where you think you or your partner should be. When you focus on that gap, it creates tension. When you own your own growth and detach from how it should look for them, things shift. This conversation is honest. I share examples from my own marriage, including times I tried to hand my wife the "right" book and it went nowhere. Not because she didn't care, but because it wasn't hers. Growth has to be chosen. You can't force it. If you want your partner to rise, rise first. Lead your home by who you are, not by what you tell her to fix. If you're ready to stop talking about growth and actually live it, get the free training on how to shift the scales in your marriage. It's direct, practical, and will show you what to focus on first.

While that period was confronting, it eventually led her to a powerful question:

When “Keep Going” Becomes Survival: How to Stop the Inner Critic as a Homeschool Mom If you’ve been wondering how to stop the inner critic as a homeschool mom, this episode will show you why that voice is so loud—and where it actually came from. This month’s focus: Nurturing the Nurturer — because the voice telling you you’re not enough didn’t start with homeschooling. It started long before. And it’s running your days more than you realize. I was eight months pregnant, in relentless pain, watching my support system shift beneath me—and I told myself to just keep going. Years later, on a chaotic Monday morning with four kids and cold coffee, I was still saying the same thing. What I didn’t know then was that I wasn’t being strong. I was surviving a pattern I’d learned as a child—one that many homeschool moms are still living without realizing it. In this episode, I’m sharing two personal stories that finally helped me see: the inner narratives I developed in childhood to survive chaos were now shaping how I showed up as a homeschool mom. And they were costing me connection—with myself, my kids, and the life I actually wanted. What You’ll Discover in This Episode The Inheritance You Didn’t Ask For: How childhood survival patterns show up in your homeschool life Why “keep going” isn’t strength—it’s often unprocessed survival The hidden cost of white-knuckling through motherhood What it means to lead from alignment instead of old scripts Two Stories, One Pattern: Being eight months pregnant: contractions, exhaustion, feeling abandoned—and the belief that stopping meant failing A Monday morning in slump month: foggy, irritable, yelling at the kids, and realizing the loud voice wasn’t just theirs—it was mine How these moments, years apart, were connected by the same inherited narrative The Inner Critic You Don’t Realize Is Running the Show: “If I stop, everything falls apart” “I should be able to do this” “Other moms handle this better” “If I rest, I’m letting everyone down” How to Stop the Inner Critic as a Homeschool Mom: Recognizing that mistakes are just mistakes—you can repair Understanding that your worth isn’t found in hustling or proving yourself Building a firmer inner connection so you can lead from intention, not pressure Moving from reaction to response—aligned from the inside out The Truth About the Inner Critic Learning how to stop the inner critic as a homeschool mom isn’t about positive thinking or trying harder. It’s about seeing the pattern clearly—and choosing something different. Your kids don’t need you to be perfect. They need you to show up as yourself—fully, imperfectly, and grounded. But when the inner critic is running the show, you’re not leading from presence. You’re reacting from an old story that was never yours to begin with. And that story? It didn’t come from homeschooling. It came from somewhere earlier. Somewhere deeper. Until you see it clearly, it’s going to keep driving your days. Coming This Week on the Confident Homeschool Life YouTube Channel: “The Inner Critic Pattern So Many Homeschool Moms Don’t Realize They’re In” “18 Things Homeschool Moms Say to Themselves (That They’d Never Say to a Friend)” How you talk to yourself REALLY matters. So you’ll definitely want to catch those on YouTube. Join the Calm the Inner Critic Workshop Ready to go deeper and learn how to stop the inner critic as a homeschool mom?This month, I’m hosting a workshop to help you see what’s been driving you—and choose something different. Not to fix yourself. But to untangle the overwhelm and stop reacting from inherited survival mode. So you can lead your homeschool life from a place that actually feels like you—with presence, calm, and clarity. Free Resource: Book Your Aligned Homeschool Reset Session If you’re ready to untangle the overwhelm and build a homeschool life that actually fits you, I have an opening on Friday for a free Aligned Homeschool Reset session.

In this episode I host a dialogue between Buddhist teacher and doctor of Tibetan Medicine Dr Nida Chenagtsang and adult psychiatrist and family and systemic psychotherapist Dr Caroline Van Damme. Drs Nida and Caroline reflect on a half decade of collaboration in which they have explored the meeting of Western psychology and psychiatry with Tibetan medical and Buddhist models. They discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each others' systems, consider placebo as an explanatory mechanism for traditional health systems, question the benefits of an over-therapised culture, and contrast Tibetan and European approaches to knowledge. Drs Nida and Caroline also discuss the role of traditional ideas of spirit possession in today's clinical contexts, share anecdotes of exorcisms and psychosis, and offer their best insights and techniques to truly nurture the mind. … Link in bio.

The GTM Poker Table Turning Word of Mouth and ABM Into Predictable GrowthIn this week's episode, Sacha sits down with Andrew Seidman, Co Founder and COO of Digital Reach, to unpack why the best go to market leaders think less like campaign managers and more like high stakes poker players.With over a decade designing full funnel GTM strategies for enterprises and funded startups, Andrew brings deep expertise across brand, content, rev ops, digital experience, and pipeline generation. The real twist is that his former life in professional poker shaped how he thinks about process, probability, and decision making when outcomes are never guaranteed.From random acts of marketing to the auto mechanic trust problem, from ABM myths to measurable advocacy systems, this episode is a masterclass in building a GTM engine that compounds.We dig into:Process over outcomes and why short term results do not always prove you are doing the right thingsMarketing as a collection of bets and how probabilistic thinking changes strategy, hiring, and executionThe auto mechanic trust problem and why buyers choose agencies based on trust, not technical detailsABM defined for real and why not all accounts are equalABM incentives that actually work and shifting quotas to value based point systemsWord of mouth as the ultimate ABM channel and why relationships beat fancy tactics every timeMeasuring advocacy through referrals, churn, and advocates created as a growth KPISilos and systems and why ads cannot outrun weak messaging, messy data, or a disqualifying websiteRev ops investment resistance and why systems work is hard to fund even when it is clearly neededAI reality checks including the power and procurement risks across company sizesIntent signals at scale and where AI creates leverage instead of noiseKey Takeaways:Results are not the whole story and strong processes win over time even when the market shiftsABM starts with value curves and treating every lead the same quietly kills upsideWord of mouth is the strongest entry strategy especially for tightly guarded tier one accountsAdvocacy is measurable through referrals, NPS, testimonials, and expansionsGo to market scales only as far as its least mature layerAI multiplies clarity and systems but exposes weak foundations

In this episode of InSights, presented by Haley Marketing, Brad Bialy sits down with David Searns, Co-CEO of Haley Marketing, to unpack why staffing firms must build a true growth engine—one that aligns marketing, sales, and buyer enablement to win in a more skeptical, competitive market. About the Guest David Searns is the Co-CEO of Haley Marketing and one of the most experienced voices in staffing industry marketing. With more than 25 years helping firms clarify differentiation and drive demand, David brings a deep, practical understanding of what actually fuels sustainable growth. Key Takeaways Marketing is a sales advantage, not a creative expense. Buyers decide long before sales ever gets the call. Differentiation starts with customer problems, not company features. Nurturing beats chasing when markets tighten. If you don't define your aisle, you compete on price. Timestamps [02:20] Why staffing penetration is collapsing [04:55] Buyers are skeptical, busy, and informed [06:45] The danger of selling without buyer enablement [09:20] The six-layer growth engine framework [13:15] Why most differentiators don't actually differentiate [17:10] Escaping the “staffing aisle” trap [19:00] How owners should pressure-test their messaging [23:40] Making sales drop-bys actually work [27:25] Why nurturing is the most ignored lever [31:30] Buyer enablement without giving away secrets [34:20] Why fewer employers are using temps [35:50] Learning how to learn in a changing market About the Host Brad Bialy is a trusted voice and highly sought-after speaker in the staffing and recruiting industry, known for helping firms grow through integrated marketing, sales, and recruiting strategies.

In this episode of Dimensions of Diversity, host Lloyd Freeman welcomes the newly minted Dr. Ky'a Jackson, to discuss her doctoral research which focused on the academic resilience of African-American female college students from Camden, New Jersey.

In order to feel less stressed (and stop yelling), you've got to learn to understand and care for your nervous system. You'll Learn:The two parts of your nervous system and how they work togetherWhy managing your stress is so importantSignals that you're in a stress responseSome of my favorite mini stress resets (and where you can get a list of them for free)I'm zooming out to talk about the bigger picture of your entire central nervous system. And I'll show you how you can use your own nervous system to calm yourself more quickly.-------------------------------------------Your Nervous System ExplainedThere are two main parts of your nervous system. The first is your sympathetic nervous system. You might also have heard this talked about as your fight/flight/freeze/faint/fawn response). The second part is your parasympathetic nervous system, which includes the vagus nerve. The two parts work together to help you respond to stressful situations and then decrease that stress response, kinda like a teeter totter. One is activated at a time, while the other is decreased. Think of your nervous system as an information highway running through your body at all times. It takes in information through your senses and tells the brain how to respond to what you are experiencing. Neurons (brain cells) carry this message all throughout your body. If your brain interprets any of this information as dangerous, it triggers your stress response and activates the sympathetic nervous system. To your brain, a threat can be something like a kid spitting in your face or getting a bad grade or spilling juice all over the table. Stress juice floods your body, giving you the oomph to respond to the danger. When your stress response is activated, there is a period of time where you aren't able to regulate your nervous system. When that threat has passed, you start to come back online and your parasympathetic nervous system comes into play. The parasympathetic nervous system is your best friend when it comes to managing your stress response. It has its own network of nerves and helps relax your body after periods of stress or danger. It typically activates on its own after a stressor, but when we have triggers coming at us all the time (like in parenting life), it gets weakened and doesn't respond as well. That's why you need tools to reset the system on your own. When we talk about calm and taking pause breaks to reset, the parasympathetic nervous system is the piece that we're resetting. Chronic StressYour stress response is healthy and necessary. But often, our brains misinterpret things (like spilled juice being a life-or-death emergency). Parenting is a lot. What ends up happening is that you have a lot of demands and stressors coming at you one after the next, and you don't always have enough time to recover from them.This causes us to be chronically stressed. We constantly have stress juice pouring through our bodies, and it makes it really difficult to stay calm.This is what's going on when you find yourself getting angry and annoyed about every single thing your kid does. You've probably been in an activated stress response for a while, so you are dysregulated. As a mom, you're dealing with stressors all day long, especially if you have more than one kid. But there are little breaks in between.Our goal is to practice getting ourselves into the parasympathetic nervous system so that we can more easily recover from stress. We want that teeter totter to go easily up and down so that we flow smoothly between the two states of stress and non-stress. The way to do this is to...

On National Pediatrician Day, Abhay Dandekar shares why it's important to build trust with patients.

One of my favorite things to do is to shout out our student wins and community wins from the rooftops. And part of that is also bringing people back to share their story.  Today's episode is with my friend Kate Murray of Quick Brown Fox Letterpress. She is back on the podcast to share where she's at now and all the new things that are happening in her business. Last time Kate and I talked here publicly was August of 2020, which feels like a lifetime ago. As we all know, business can significantly shift in five years and a lot has changed for Kate.  She opened her own retail store and she's got a new leadership role with the Greeting Card Association.  In our conversation today, Kate shares her journey of launching a storefront, how she balances wholesale and retail operations, and the innovative ways that she's nurturing relationships with both key accounts and independent retailers.  She shares about some exciting wholesale collabs she's doing in the next year and the importance of patience for these types of collaborations to actually come to fruition. Sometimes it's really about playing the long game with wholesale, which I know can be frustrating at times, but it is a really important reminder to us that good things do take time to develop. Today's episode is brought to you by our Paper Camp program. Paper Camp is our wholesale coaching program where we teach you everything you need to know to build strong wholesale foundations. Over the course of 4 weeks, we tackle your product line, sales tools, and marketing plan, and we even talk about how to exhibit at trade shows if that's what you want to do. We start with your product line and go into everything from how often you should be releasing new products to ensuring that your numbers are sustainable for the wholesale market and their price for profit. Then we move into sales tools you must have for selling wholesale so you make a strong first impression with buyers like catalogs and your terms and conditions. Then, we cover marketing strategies and ways to reach various store owners.  Each week's teachings build on the previous week, and we host weekly live engaging coaching calls to answer all of your questions. We will open enrollment for our next round of Paper Camp soon, and we sell this program out every time we run it. Join the wait list and you'll get early access to enroll.

In about 50 A.D., twenty years after Jesus Death Resurrection and Ascension Paul of Tarsus, one sent with authority by Jesus the Lord, to preach the Good News to the nations arrived in the City of Corinth, a prominent city of the Roman empire located on the trade route connecting the Aegean and Ionian seas. He immediately began announcing the Good News: "The Crucified Jesus is the True Lord of the world."  Those believing the message were shepherded into house churches.  Then Paul preached, taught and pastored in Corinth for 18 months before moving on to other cities of the empire. See Acts 18 In 53 A.D. Paul, now in Ephesus, receives letters from the Church at Corinth and from the household of a woman named Chloe, a leader in the church.  These letters revealed alarming divisions, cliques, sexual immorality, lawsuits against fellow members, abuse of the Lord's supper, unbelief in the resurrection of Jesus, and much more within the Corinthian church.  Making things worse, Paul was being mocked as a phony apostle by members of the church in Corinth. Paul writes the 1st letter to Corinth from Ephesus in 53 A.D. to address the beliefs and behaviors of this charismatic, but grossly immature and divided church. Those today who seek to build "new creation" churches within the American empire will be blessed by this great letter.  We will make a special point of discerning in 1 Corinthians the character of wisdom and foolishness, freedom and license, as well as spiritual and childish. Come join us in this series of Podcasts on "Freedom and the Corinthians" as we "eat Corinthians" together, growing in maturity in Christ together.
