Professional Christian Carey Robinson of  @TheMovementOC church returns to the show to talk about the complexities of leadership, how he stays accountable in his leadership position as a pastor, and why he calls himself a Christian nationalist. His definition of CN may not be what you think. Which is why Zack argues he should drop the label. It's a zesty conversation with some healthy argumentation all around. Also, why are we, of the royal variety, rewarding people for using racial slurs on kids? It's a wild time to be alive, and we're here to talk about it. "Nuance is the new N word."                               -Some Guy SUBSCRIBE & SHARE us this week!Contact Us: brosbiblesbeer@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Leave Us A VoicemailYouTubeSimpleCastSpotifyApple PodcastsFacebook ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠XInstaBros Bibles & Beer is: Jeff, Zack & Andy Find us wherever fine podcasts are distributed.

In this week's episode Elizabeth and Matt start by discussing an Op-Ed about the dangers of demonizing Donald Trump. The author (David Scharfenberg) reminds us that when we label a person or group as evil we tend to look away.  We may focus on fighting against an enemy, dehumanize, and become more afraid than proactive.  We also do not learn.  Elizabeth reveals that she chose the article because she recognized her own biases in the description. She admits to demonizing both ideological extremes, and feels squeezed by the potential threats.  Matt first suggests that we try to find shared values to remind ourselves of our common humanity.  Elizabeth is very skeptical of that strategy, but is more receptive to assurances that we can turn to our own core values and principles for respite and strength. This episode is a little bit of talk therapy for the politically exhausted.Podcast notesBoston Globe Article: "Dealing with the Devil" by David Scharfenberg https://edition.pagesuite.com/popovers/dynamic_article_popover.aspx?artguid=9b0cb8e2-4801-487e-8fa9-dbf0fd531d03&appcode=BOSGLO&eguid=2df733aa-711b-4c1c-8cf4-bb49b7d95a38&pnum=110#ProSocial Workers is committed to creating a viewpoint inclusive and politically diverse environment for social workers and other helping professionals.  Professionals can find support and continuing education at ProSocialWorkers.com.  Please consider donating to the Institute for Liberal Values, a 501c3 non-profit organization at ilvalues.org.

369 Nurturing Community   We're all human. We all have family, we all have struggles, we all have experienced some sort of adversity, which means we're more alike than we are different. It can be easy to view the world with blinders on, to ignore it all and keep your nose to the ground, but then your community suffers for it. The people who rely on you, whether it be your friends and family, or a client or customer, by choosing to nurture only our corner of existence, the rest of our community suffers. Just like tending a garden, you must tend the whole garden, spread love and nutrients where you can, and remove what is harmful. It's hard work, but all things worth doing require effort.  In today's episode Sarah Elkins and Claudia Krevat discuss the importance of caring for your community as a whole, how vital it is to remove the blinders and to see things as they are and how you best can contribute to a healthy and happy community.    Highlights Lifting others up also lifts you up. You never know the doors you'll open when you just participate. Have you tried to appeal to someone's empathy? Their humanity? How did that go for you? What can you do to see people who disagree with you as human? Connection through how we are similar and how we show our humanity.   Quotes “You know that when people are asking for it and your participation is growing, you are creating a positive impact.” “Strangers become friends around the dining table.” “A lot of us have family in common.” “There's a story and we got to tell the story, because don't we learn from stories?”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, I would love to see some comments or get an email from you about how sharing food, breaking bread together, changed your mind about something or someone. I would love to hear the story about the time you ate with people or surrounded a dining table with other people where you experience something unexpected or maybe something that changed your life or changed everything about how you perceived something that you were surprised by.     And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Claudia (from her Instagram page) Community organizer through food. Recipe designer and alchemist. The Lentil Queen. Recipes and stories. Be sure to check out Claudia's Threads, and Instagram! As well as the article written about her on Yellowstone Public Radio!   About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

In today's politically charged environment, the emotional toll of political strife can create deep divides between individuals and communities. Tensions between countries like the United States and Canada often lead to heightened feelings of fear, anger, and frustration, making it difficult for people to engage in meaningful, empathetic dialogue. Understanding oneself is crucial for navigating these challenges, as self-awareness allows individuals to reflect on their emotions and engage with others from a place of empathy and open-mindedness. Allan Knight, a former Zen Monk, along with Anika Jackson, Zen Power Coach in Training, guide individuals through this process in the Zen Activation Program.  Empathy plays a pivotal role in bridging ideological gaps, allowing people to connect on a deeper level even when their views differ. By actively listening and seeking to understand the perspectives of others, individuals can foster a sense of unity and compassion, which is essential for overcoming societal divisions. This practice of empathy, coupled with self-love, not only supports personal growth but also contributes to collective transformation, creating more harmonious communities. To navigate political tensions and foster authentic connections, it is vital to prioritize self-reflection, empathy, and community support. Embracing self-love and understanding others' emotions are powerful steps toward building a more compassionate and united world. Now is the time to take action—reflect on your own self-love practices and engage with others empathetically to deepen your connections and contribute to a positive societal shift.

SHOW NOTES: On this show…we are trying to achieve a balance between open-mindedness and firm beliefs as we navigate the middle ground. Staying true to your convictions is one position you can take but how does that stance affect the way you embrace new ideas and differing opinions? Ever feel like you're walking a mental tightrope, trying to keep an open mind while staying true to what you believe? It's like trying to balance on a seesaw with a curious toddler on one end and a stubborn goat on the other—challenging, unpredictable, and sometimes a little funny in hindsight. In this episode, we're exploring how to navigate the middle ground between welcoming new ideas and standing firm in your values. We'll tackle the fear of being too easily swayed, the risks of being stuck in your ways, and that frustrating paralysis that comes from overthinking it all. Let's dive in, find our balance, and discover how to approach life's challenges with curiosity and confidence.  Let's make sure we all understand the definition of Open-Mindedness: The willingness to consider new ideas and perspectives. Misconception: Being open-minded means accepting everything without question. Feel risky? If so, you might have fear around: Losing your identity. Being coerced into decisions you wouldn't normally make. The slippery slope of “people-pleasing” or over-compromise. I hear you—it's exhausting trying to make sense of the conflicting messages we're bombarded with daily. “Stand your ground!” but “Embrace diverse ideas.” “If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything!” yet “You're narrow-minded if you don't change your mindset to fit everyone else's.” Whoa, slow down! Where do we even start? For me, it's all about a multi-pronged approach. I pray, listen to my heart, try to see the bigger picture, and seek knowledge—always in that order. I trust myself, but let's be real, I don't know everything, and I can't navigate life's challenges alone. When I feel that pressure or tension to believe something or act a certain way, I take a step back and ask, “Why?” Why am I feeling this way? This simple pause keeps me from rushing into conclusions or making impulsive decisions. Here's the thing: I think many of us adopt an idea and fiercely protect it before we've really researched or tested it. It's human nature to want to feel confident and certain, but what if we took a moment to explore, question, and truly understand? That's where real balance and growth begin. At Psychology Compass I found how you have to Contradict yourself to become more open-minded On Forbes, Dr. Alice G. Walton offers 7 Science-Backed Methods To Get You Out Of Your Head On The Table's YouTube channel, I found Changing Your Mind: Virtue or Vice.  So what happens when you find yourself in this overwhelming push/pull situation in your thinking? What causes it and how do we overcome it? Fear of Making the “Wrong” Decision or Offending Others The Issue: Many of us freeze at the thought of making a decision that might upset someone or turn out to be a mistake. This fear can be paralyzing, leading to second-guessing or endless deliberation. How to Overcome It: Embrace the idea that no decision is ever truly final—most can be adjusted or revisited. Shift your mindset from “right vs. wrong” to “learning and growing.” Instead of aiming for perfection, aim for progress. Being Stuck in Indecision Due to Conflicting Inner Voices The Issue: One part of you says, “Stay safe and stick to what you know,” while another whispers, “Take a risk and explore new possibilities.” This inner tug-of-war can leave you immobilized. How to Overcome It: Practice tuning into each voice without judgment. Ask yourself, “What's the worst-case scenario? What's the best-case scenario?” Write these down and weigh the options. Sometimes seeing your thoughts in writing can bring clarity. Here are some more practical ways to break free: 1. Pause and Reflect Without Judgment When faced with pressure or indecision, step back and take a breather. Don't rush into action or self-criticism. Use simple tools like deep breathing, journaling, or a quiet walk to clear your head. 2. Set Boundaries: Know When to Listen and When to Step Away Not every conversation or input requires your full engagement. If external opinions are overwhelming you, give yourself permission to politely step back. A simple, “Thank you for sharing—I need some time to think this through,” can go a long way. 3. Practice Mindful Decision-Making Approach decisions with intentionality. Focus on what aligns with your values and goals rather than what pleases others. Break larger decisions into smaller steps to make them feel less daunting, and celebrate each small step forward. CHALLENGE: Pause and reflect the next time you feel pulled in opposite directions—take a moment to tune into your heart, weigh your values, and explore new perspectives without judgment. Commit to standing firm in what matters most to you while staying open to growth, knowing that true balance is found in the space between.   I Know YOU Can Do It!

“I think kids are actually generally a better audience for literary fiction, for art, for ambitious storytelling that asks the reader to do work. And a lot of that is just based on how their brains work and their place in the world.” - Mac BarnettGrowing up, Mac Barnett's mom never took their picture books off their shelves. They remained a part of his reading world, even as he grew up and could read more mature books. Maybe that choice helped Mac's youthful spirit alight for longer. As he often notes, kids' minds are portals to the imaginary, to making believe. For them, everything is possible: superheroes, magic, ghosts. Mac believes that open-mindedness is crucial to fully understanding and appreciating fiction, which is why he makes the argument that kids are the best audience for fiction, and in particular, picture books. Mac Barnett is a best-selling, prolific children's author celebrated for his clever, imaginative storytelling and sharp sense of humor. He is known for books like “Extra Yarn,” “Sam and Dave Dig a Hole,” “The Terrible Two,” series and the “Mac B, Kid Spy” series. He has received numerous accolades, including two Caldecott Honors and the E.B. White Read-Aloud Award. In this episode, Mac shares why he believes that most adults struggle to understand what makes a good children's book. He also unpacks “Frog and Toad” as a work of experimental fiction and reflects on the lessons he's learning from his three-year-old son. Given Mac's passion for picture books, it's fitting that his reading challenge centers around them. For his challenge, “The Possibilities of Picture Books,” he has curated a selection designed to help us see the capaciousness of the picture book format—just as his mother once did for him.

In podcast Episode 176 - How To Like Something That  You Don't Like, I share my personal journey of learning to like something I previously didn't enjoy - fall. I explain how a conversation with a friend made me realize that instead of dreading fall as a precursor to winter, I could focus on actually liking the fall season. I outline several good reasons to change what you like, such as adding diversity and experience to your life, making things easier, and simply because "why not?" However, I also caution against changing what you like just to fit in or be accepted by others. Your unique preferences are valuable. To help listeners learn to like something new, I provide seven steps: be curious, observe how others enjoy it, practice enjoying it, lean into it, change your language, be open to being wrong, and understand it may take time. I share my own experiences applying these steps to fall, and encourage everyone to try this experiment with something in their own lives. 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.

A listener asked me about what I think about the resets…..fasting, keto, carbs, hormetic stressors, and vegan propaganda..  My knee-jerk reply was that we all need to step back and focus on the big picture. It's also important to never get frustrated, and to work hard to stay open minded and think critically instead of succumbing to the marketing hype and the controversy and confusion in the health game.  It might be a great strategy to focus on self-experimentation. Be willing to experiment, measure results, and evaluate for future modification and refinement. I get into some of the Blue Zones talking points that can be described as propaganda and flat-out unsubstantiated (plant-based promotes longevity!), versus the most valuable takeaways for happiness and longevity (move more!) If you hear anyone spouting maxims like this, turn and run screaming in the opposite direction: "A cup of beans a day could add two to three years to your life.” Here's an awesome Blue Zones insight: "They're driven by life's meaning and purpose. They're investing in family, keeping their minds engaged and there's no existential stress of being worthless in life like so many Americans." Enjoy the show and check in with me at podcast@bradventures.com   TIMESTAMPS: There is much controversy and confusion in the progressive health scene about how to pursue longevity. [00:48] It takes a concerted effort to maintain our open-mindedness and our ability to think critically. [02:44] Human life expectancy has fluctuated in the early years and now, with all the medical improvements, it has gone up, however, the USA is not rated very highly compared to other countries. [07:49] When in doubt, do self-experimentation rather than relying on some information that is out there like the Blue Zone. The plant-based diet has been attacked by people in the know.  [12:05] A good goal is you should have around one gram of protein per pound of your ideal body weight. [19:58] What about fasting, time-restricted feeding and calories restriction in pursuit of longevity? [21:49] Brad is pretty sure he does not want to take any prescription medication unless absolutely necessary.  He wants his body to work naturally.

It's not easy to reflect on our emotions without judging them or running away from them. It's difficult to stay with challenging or frightening feelings and thoughts. But to cultivate awareness means taking an open, curious, and non-judgmental approach to observing our minds.More than simple or immediate observation (like Attunement), awareness asks us to get curious and reflect on our feelings, emotions, thoughts, and the landscape of experience we discovered in step one of attunement. What emotions are coming up for us? What thoughts keep coming into our consciousness?In this second step of the 5 A's of Agility for Spiritual Health, Pam King explains how we can become more emotionally aware and open-minded about our psychological reality. The key to observing our thoughts and feelings is to simply look, and not judge yourself. Let the emotions come and go, and learn from they provide information to us.ANNOUNCEMENT: With & For Season 2 launches on January 6, 2025!Show NotesJill Westbrook introduces the episodeFor the most enriching and helpful listening experience, make sure to start with the beginning of this series!More than immediate observation: we must reflect non-judgmentallyJust observe, don't judge yourself.Examining the meaning of our feelings, thoughts, and sensationsAttach reflective thoughts to our embodied and psychological experienceJournaling is a powerful exercise to connect kinetically with emotional realities.Narration and storytelling helps with processing non-judgmentally.Cultivating curiosity and open-mindedness“So be curious, welcome the dust, welcome the muck,  hold it, consider what it means and what it's pointing you towards.”“Avenues for growth.

KAT TIMPF BIO Kat Timpf is a writer, comedian, and libertarian commentator. She's currently the co-host of "Gutfeld!" on Fox News weeknights at 10 p.m. and a Fox News analyst. She's also the author of the New York Times bestseller "You Can't Joke About That: Why Everything is Funny, Nothing is Sacred, and We're All in This Together."Kat is a prolific writer, having worked as a columnist for National Review for nearly six years. She's also worked at Campus Reform, The Washington Times, Barstool Sports, and of course, Boston Market. She's no stranger to the stage, either: The national tour of her comedy live show, "You Can't Joke About That LIVE," sold out in theaters all around the country. Kat stands out in a sea of pundits because of her libertarian perspective and use of comedy and satire to get her no-nonsense points across -- even landing her onVariety's New Power of New York list in 2023. While she is steadfast in her strong libertarian beliefs, Kat is a firm believer in the power of conversations to bridge gaps, political or otherwise. Kat loves connecting with people across the country and around the world and talking about the things that are on everyone's minds, but no one's lips. And she is sure to do so with a great deal of respect and humor. She currently lives in New York City with her husband Cam, their dog Carl, and her cat Cheens. ABOUT HER BOOK I USED TO LIKE YOU UNTIL.. (HOW BINARY THINKING DIVIDES US) In this whip-smart follow-up to the "ruthlessly honest exploration of comedy and cancellation" (Dr. Drew, television host and New York Times bestselling author) You Can't Joke About That, New York Times bestselling author Kat Timpf examines the dangers of binary thinking, and how it threatens to take over our institutions, relationships, and even our freedoms. For some reason, when it comes to complex issues, we've largely limited ourselves to just two options, resulting in a society of non-thinkers. After all, once you've picked a side, all the thinking has already been done for you. As an independent, libertarian voter who has spent the last ten years at Fox News, Kat has faced this issue too many times to count. She's learned that surprising things can happen when you refuse to choose a team, especially when you work at a place some people call an existential threat to America.Binary thinking is much more than just the enemy of critical thinking, it's also an immediate danger to our political discourse, our institutions, our way of consuming news, our relationships, our creativity, and even to our freedoms. All too often, we will let a single difference in viewpoint, an assumption, or an association be enough to write off another person entirely, even if we know nothing else about them. We miss out on opportunities to connect or even collaborate, all while the people in power over us benefit from our division.Through humorous examples from her own life and insight only someone in her bizarre position can possess, Kat reminds us that the world doesn't have to be so black and white. In her signature witty voice, Kat inspires us to lean into thoughtful consideration, genuine conversation, vulnerability, and only hating people when they really deserve it. https://www.therealkattimpf.com/#bookBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.

In  episode 502 of Passion Struck, we tackle a subject that's hitting hard in our world right now: cynicism. Cynicism creeps into our thoughts, erodes our connections, and chips away at our belief in one another. To help us untangle this, we have an extraordinary guest, Dr. Jamil Zaki, a professor of psychology at Stanford University and an expert in empathy and kindness. His new book, Hope for Cynics: The Surprising Science of Human Goodness, reveals how we can overcome cynicism through hopeful skepticism.Dr. Zaki shares powerful insights from over two decades of research on how to escape the cynicism trap and boost your mental well-being. We discuss the myth of the cynical genius, how to combat polarization, and foster a more unified world. Dr. Zaki also delves into his personal journey, including how his parents' difficult divorce influenced his study of empathy and understanding others.Full show notes and resources:  https://passionstruck.com/jamil-zaki-science-of-human-goodnessSponsorsBabbel: Unlock the power of learning a new language with Babbel's innovative system.
