This week on Together 4 Good, Pastor Nate sits down with Dr. Kristina Lizardy-Hajbi, Associate Professor of Leadership and Formation at Iliff School of Theology and keynote speaker for the upcoming Rocky Mountain Synod Assembly.Together, they explore:Why vocation is more than employmentHow congregations discern their callingThe difference between growth and vitalityWhy numbers don't define faithfulnessAnd how “Life in Christ” is a call to abundance, not scarcityDr. Lizardy-Hajbi shares a powerful story of a rural congregation that responded to the opioid crisis not by trying to fix it — but by doing what the Church uniquely can do: holding sacred space for grief.This episode invites both individuals and congregations to ask:What are our gifts?What does our community need?What has God already placed in our hands?Because life in Christ isn't about becoming something else. It's about living fully into who Christ already created you to be.Chapters:00:00 – Coming Up: Life in Christ & Vocation 01:05 – What “Vida en Christo” Really Means 03:00 – Why Vocation Is Always Communal 06:00 – Congregations Have Vocations Too 08:00 – The 4 Circles of Discernment 11:00 – Scarcity vs. Vitality in the Church 14:30 – A Church Responds to the Opioid Crisis 18:30 – Why Storytelling Matters in Discernment 22:00 – Dr. Kristina's Personal Vocation Story 26:00 – “What Do You Do?” vs. “Who Are You?” 28:00 – Parenting as Vocation 29:30 – Life in Christ Is Abundance 32:00 – Preparing for Synod Assembly
I welcome my childhood friend Dr. Mike Meaney back on the show where we discuss how pain changes how a life moves. It sharpens every edge, tests every bond, and forces you to decide what you believe when there are no easy choices left. That's where our conversation begins: a candid account of failed orthopedic surgeries, a system that too often rewards the cut over the cure, and the daily reality of living inside a body that won't stop hurting. We examine how fee-for-service medicine, device royalties, and surgical center ownership can bend decisions, why second and third opinions matter, and what patients can do to avoid becoming a statistic in a volume-driven industry.From there, we turn toward the inner struggle—resentment, justice, and the long road to healing. We talk openly about opioids as a seductive solution to the human problem of physical pain, and the devastation they leave behind. We sit with the hardest question: when harm is done under anesthesia, what does forgiveness mean? Faith enters not as a slogan but as a practice. We return to the simple Catholic teachings we learned as kids—tell the truth, avoid violence, treat others as you wish to be treated, care for the marginal—and measure them against adult complexity. We explore the mystical claims of Christianity with clear eyes, and why daily sobriety can feel like proof enough for belief.Then we build forward. Our guest shares One Small Step, a platform delivering certified peer support on nights and weekends for people on Medicaid—exactly when the rest of the system is closed or the ER is the only option. We walk through how human-in-the-loop AI can safely triage, detect pre-crisis signals, and route people to real peers with lived experience, reducing avoidable ER visits and giving support that actually meets people where they are. It's a practical blueprint for reform: dignified care, data-informed decisions, and a focus on outcomes that matter.If this conversation resonates—about pain, faith, accountability, or access to real help—share it with someone who needs it. And if you appreciate these deep, unfiltered talks, tap follow, leave a quick review, and tell us: where do you draw the line between justice and mercy?To learn more about One Small Step head over to https://onesmallstep.io/Support the showWarmly,Nico Barraza@FeedTheSoulNBwww.nicobarraza.com

The Counter Momentum of Spin, with Dr. Franco Musio – The Maduro regime was indicted by the US Department of Justice in 2020 (and again recently) as a significant hub of illegal drug transit and a state sponsor of narcoterrorism (to include abetting many drug cartels with their support of violence, human smuggling, and significant profits from the illicit production and selling of narcotics)...
Male Loneliness Is Exploding...Tech, AI, and Society Are Making It Worse Scott Galloway — NYU Stern Professor of Marketing, serial entrepreneur, bestselling author of Notes on Being a Man, and one of the most influential voices on culture, masculinity, and economics — returns to Mayim Bialik's Breakdown for a brutally honest conversation about what's happening to young men today… and why it affects all of us. In this wide-ranging discussion, Galloway breaks down why young men are more lonely, economically insecure, and socially disconnected than any generation before them, and how technology, AI companionship, and synthetic relationships are hijacking young male brains at an unprecedented scale. We explore the growing maturity gap between men and women, why women are now surpassing men financially and educationally, and why young men are struggling so badly in the modern dating market. Scott also dives into the alarming rise of AI chatbots and synthetic relationships, especially among young people, and the hidden dangers no one is talking about. Scott also breaks down: - Why young men today are at a disadvantage compared to prior generations - How tech, AI, and economic insecurity are fueling male loneliness - Why women's success does NOT cause men to fail - Why young men are falling behind in education, income, and dating - Shocking prevalence of human–AI relationships and why they're dangerous - Why resilience is the most important trait for long-term success - Why older generations of men have a moral obligation to pay it forward - How single-parent households affect children, especially boys (The U.S. has the highest rate of single-parent homes in the world!) - Best ways to truly connect with your kids in a digital world - Why Scott identifies as a reluctant atheist and how belief, meaning, and purpose fit into modern life This is a conversation about masculinity, responsibility, technology, parenting, faith, and the future, and why fixing the crisis facing young men is one of the most important challenges of our time.

In 2016, the Canadian federal government recognized the opioid crisis as a public health emergency, yet 10 years later, thousands of Canadians die from opioid toxicity every year.Health Canada committed $17 million to research projects and harm reduction initiatives aimed at substance use prevention in late 2025, but one problem that's hard to put a dollar figure on to fix is stigmatization and stereotypes surrounding safe consumption sites - which Ontario closed nine of last year.Host Maria Kestane speaks to Dimitra Panagiotoglou, the Canada Research Chair in the Economics of Harm Reduction and associate professor at McGill, to discuss her recent study on the relationship between crime associated with supervised consumption sites, and how Canadians can approach nuanced conversations surrounding substance use.

Jonathan Jones, author of "Opium Slavery: The Civil War, Veterans, and Americas First Opioid Crisis"
During the Civil War, the utility and widespread availability of opium and morphine made opiates essential to wartime medicine. After the war ended, thousands of ailing soldiers became addicted, or “enslaved,” as nineteenth-century Americans phrased it. Veterans, their families, and communities struggled to cope with addiction's health and social consequences. Medical and government authorities compounded veterans' suffering and imbued the epidemic with cultural meaning by branding addiction as a matter of moral weakness, unmanliness, or mental infirmity. Framing addiction as “opium slavery” limited the efficacy of care and left many veterans to suffer needlessly for decades after the war ended. Drawing from veterans' firsthand accounts as well as mental asylum and hospital records, government and medical reports, newspaper coverage of addiction, and advertisements, in Opium Slavery: Civil War Veterans and America's First Opioid Crisis (UNC Press, 2025) Dr. Jonathan S. Jones unearths the poorly understood stories of opiate-addicted Civil War veterans in unflinching detail, illuminating the war's traumatic legacies. In doing so, Jones provides critical historical context for the modern opioid crisis, which bears tragic resemblance to that of the post–Civil War era. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Why are pain patients treated like criminals, while people on Suboxone are celebrated as brave survivors?This isn't just stigma, it's a system. One that quietly rewrote the rules of who deserves compassion... and who gets discarded.In this video, we introduce a lens called Critical Drug Theory, based on Critical Theory, which helps explain how power, identity, and moral narratives shape public policy. It's a way to understand why people with addiction are often seen as victims in need of care, while stable pain patients are labeled as privileged or problematic, even when both need medication.We break down how these narratives gained power, how they've influenced opioid policy, and why the system was rigged to treat pain relief as dangerous, but daily addiction treatment as virtuous.This video gives language to something many patients have felt but couldn't name. It's not political, and it's not a conspiracy. It's just the truth about how we got here and who got hurt along the way.

John, a veteran and former Army medic, shares his journey from the military to the hemp and CBD industry, explaining how natural remedies like CBD and kratom helped him avoid the destructive cycle of pharmaceutical painkillers. Together, Vince and John explore: The truth about CBD isolate and why it became a breakthrough in non-psychoactive relief. How the endocannabinoid system works and why our bodies are designed to receive cannabinoids. What kratom really is, its traditional uses, and how it differs from synthetic and dangerous 7-hydroxy extracts. The opioid epidemic in the military and how kratom may help support recovery. Why Diversified Botanics is fighting to eliminate 7-OH and create safe, transparent, third-party tested products. This episode is about cutting through the noise, misinformation, and stigma to give you a clearer picture of CBD, kratom, and the fight to keep natural remedies safe.

Send us a textCould the opioid crisis be solved through genetic testing? What if doctors could identify your addiction risk before prescribing pain medication? These questions drive the innovative work at Thrive Genetics, where personalized medicine is revolutionizing how we approach pain management and addiction prevention.James Piacentino shares his journey from tech executive to healthcare innovator, motivated by watching his father struggle with alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. This deeply personal mission led him to create a system that combines genetic testing with behavioral analysis to generate comprehensive addiction risk profiles for patients before medical procedures.The science is compelling – addiction typically stems from a 50/50 split between genetic predisposition and behavioral factors. By analyzing both components through a proprietary algorithm, Thrive Genetics helps physicians tailor medication plans based on individual risk profiles. For high-risk patients, alternative approaches might include non-opioid medications or adjusted dosages, potentially saving countless individuals from developing dependencies.We explore the staggering statistics behind the opioid epidemic (Americans consume 99% of global hydrocodone) and discuss how personalized medicine represents a balanced approach that maintains quality care while addressing cost concerns. James walks us through the patient journey – from initial testing to personalized treatment plans – and shares powerful stories illustrating the human impact of addiction and recovery.Our conversation ventures beyond healthcare into profound territory, examining how family trauma shapes us, the nature of self-awareness in recovery, and philosophical questions about purpose and spiritual growth. James offers wisdom from both professional innovation and personal reflection, reminding us that sometimes our deepest wounds become the source of our greatest contributions to others.Connect with Thrive Genetics at thrivegeneticsai.com to learn more about this groundbreaking approach to addiction prevention and personalized medicine.http://www.thrivegenetics.ai/ Support the show https://www.audible.com/pd/9-Simple-Steps-to-Sell-More-ht-Audiobook/B0D4SJYD4Q?source_code=ASSORAP0511160006&share_location=library_overflowhttps://www.amazon.com/Simple-Steps-Sell-More-Stereotypes-ebook/dp/B0BRNSFYG6/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1OSB7HX6FQMHS&keywords=corey+berrier&qid=1674232549&sprefix=%2Caps%2C93&sr=8-1 https://www.linkedin.com/in/coreysalescoach/
We're joined by Dr. Karl Benzio, Chief Psychiatric Officer at Honey Lake Clinic and Medical Director at the American Association of Christian Counselors. With his decades of experience in psychiatry and addiction treatment, Dr. Benzio is raising the alarm on a growing problem, the explosion of sports betting in America. As states rush to legalize and profit from gambling, he warns this may turn into the next opioid-level crisis, leaving families shattered and lives destroyed. Dr. Benzio will break down why the addictive pull of sports betting is so dangerous, what patterns he's already seeing, and how America must respond before it spirals out of control.
