In Revelation 3:7–13, Jesus speaks to the church in Philadelphia and calls them to hold on to Him. When our hope is in Jesus, He is not just part of the story—He is the beginning, middle, and end of our hope. This message explores five things Jesus provides: His provision, His protection, His passion, His power, and ultimately, His person. Whatever we face, we can hold on to Jesus because He is faithful and He is enough.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.orgConnect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!Instagram: @integrity_churchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/liveintegrity/

In the 1960s, America was fighting two wars at once: one in Vietnam and another at home over civil rights.Acclaimed journalist and author Wil Haygood grew up watching both unfold. Young men from his Columbus, Ohio, neighborhood disappeared into the war in Vietnam while, at home, the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the unrest that followed brought the struggle for racial equality directly to his streets.In Part 1 of this three-part series, Wil joins us to explore the story behind his book, The War Within a War: The Black Struggle in Vietnam and at Home — and why the histories of the Vietnam War and the civil rights movement cannot truly be understood separately.We also meet two Black veterans whose lives illustrate that intersection.George Forrest grew up in segregated Maryland, attended Morgan State University and became an Army officer at a time when Black officers were still routinely confronted with discrimination. In 1963, while stationed with the Old Guard at Fort Myer, he found himself on alert for possible civil unrest during the March on Washington — unaware that his own parents were among the marchers.Dorothy “Dottie” Harris knew from childhood that she wanted to become a nurse. After serving in the Navy and completing nursing school, she joined the Army and volunteered for Vietnam, where she would eventually care for some of the war's most severely wounded.Their stories reveal the complicated meaning of military service for Black Americans during this era — a source of opportunity, responsibility and belonging, but also an institution that reflected many of the inequalities of the country they were serving.Wil also examines the draft, Project 100,000, and the disproportionate burden placed on Black and poor Americans as the United States searched for more men to send to Vietnam.This is Part 1 of The War Within a War. In Part 2, George Forrest goes into combat in one of the war's deadliest battles, Dottie Harris confronts the human cost of the war from a field hospital, and Wil Haygood explores how Black and white service members depended on one another for survival in Vietnam.Featured in this episode:Wil Haygood — journalist and author of The War Within a War: The Black Struggle in Vietnam and at HomeGeorge Forrest — U.S. Army veteranDorothy “Dottie” Harris — U.S. Army nurse and Vietnam veteranLearn more:Visit the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund at vvmf.orgConnect with VVMF:Facebook: facebook.com/VietnamVeteransMemorialFundInstagram: instagram.com/vnveteransmemorialYouTube: youtube.com/@VietnamVeteransMemorialFund

Sometimes the person who changes the direction of your life enters it when neither of you knows what that moment will become.Before Dr. Desiree Williams built a 20+ year career in healthcare leadership, she was a teenage mother and later a motel general manager. One day, a woman staying there with her young son told Desiree she couldn't afford to remain until her next paycheck. Desiree found a way to give her time to get back on her feet.Weeks later, that same woman returned with an unexpected offer: the healthcare organization where she worked was hiring, and she would teach Desiree what she needed to know.She did. She taught Desiree the basics of healthcare, helped prepare her résumé, and coached her for the interview. Desiree got the job—and began a healthcare career that would eventually take her from frontline roles to operational leadership, teaching and earning her doctorate.  Pasted textBut the people who change our paths aren't always the ones ahead of us.Sometimes they're watching from behind.Years later, when Desiree's oldest daughter was preparing to graduate from high school and questioned whether she needed college because her mother had succeeded without graduating, Desiree realized what her daughter was learning from her example. So she went back to school with one goal: graduate before her daughter did.She did—and kept going.Today, Dr. Desiree Williams holds a Doctor of Healthcare Administration, leads Access Center Operations at UChicago Medicine, and teaches as an adjunct professor.  In this episode of Thriving in Intersectionality, Dr. Lola Adeyemo and Dr. Desiree Williams explore how our lives and leadership are shaped by the people we encounter—and how the way we show up can quietly shape someone else's path too.In this episode, you'll learn:How becoming a mother as a teenager shaped Desiree's belief that leadership cannot be centered only on ourselves.Why her experience in frontline healthcare roles still influences the way she makes decisions as a senior leader.How one act of kindness at a motel unexpectedly opened the door to her healthcare career.Why her daughter's college decision prompted Desiree to return to school herself.What Desiree means when she says, “People don't follow plans. They follow people.”Why employees need more than a leader's strategy—they need context, communication, and connection.How seemingly clear leadership messages can be interpreted very differently by the people receiving them.Why the people closest to the work need a voice in decisions affecting the work.How Desiree thinks about the relationship between connection, culture, and performance.Why your current circumstances don't have to determine where your story ends.  A takeaway to carry with youDesiree became a teenage mother at 16 and remembers people around her saying:“She was so smart. Now look at her.”She could have allowed that moment to define what was possible next.Instead, she offers this reminder:“Don't confuse your starting point with your destination.”Your future, she says, is shaped by the decisions you continue to make—not only by the circumstances you find yourself in today.  And perhaps that's part of what makes this conversation about more than Desiree's career.A woman Desiree helped eventually helped her enter healthcare.Her daughter influenced her decision to return to school.The university that poured into her became a place where she could later teach and pour into others.Employees she has led have asked to follow her when she moved to another organization.The influence keeps moving in both directions.  We are shaped by people—and, often without realizing it, we are shaping people too.About Dr. Desiree WilliamsDr. Desiree J. Williams is a healthcare leader, adjunct professor, published author, and leadership speaker with more than 20 years of experience across healthcare operations, patient access, organizational culture, and employee engagement.She currently serves as Director of Access Center Operations at UChicago Medicine, where she leads enterprise access initiatives and a team of 79 professionals. She is also an adjunct professor at Governors State University, teaching Lean Six Sigma Green Belt coursework for healthcare professionals. Dr. Williams holds a Doctor of Healthcare Administration and is the author of The Healthcare Manager's Practical Guide: 10 Proven Strategies to Increase Patient Satisfaction Scores. Connect with Dr. Desiree Williams:Website: www.DrDesireeSpeaks.comLinkedIn: Dr. Desiree J. WilliamsTikTok: @Dr.Desiree.LeadsDr. Desiree also offers a free Leadership Translated resource exploring how what leaders say can differ from what employees hear, with practical examples related to communication, culture, and psychological safety.  Pasted textAnd, of course, the meal...For this Chicago leader, it had to be pizza.Deep dish or thin crust, Desiree sees a connection to teams: every ingredient brings something different, but each contributes to what the whole becomes.Different strengths. Different contributions. One very good pizza.

In Revelation 2:18–29, Jesus speaks to the church in Thyatira and reminds His people that He alone defines what faithfulness looks like. Jesus is the standard, and He does not change the standard. In a world that constantly pressures us to redefine truth and compromise our convictions, Jesus calls His church to remain faithful to Him.But Jesus is not only the standard—He is also the prize. Faithfulness to Jesus is not ultimately about earning something from Him; it is about belonging to Him and discovering that He Himself is better than anything the world can offer. Jesus calls His people to persevere, remain faithful, and hold fast to Him until the end.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.orgConnect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!Instagram: @integrity_churchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/liveintegrity/

In Week 5 of Lampstand Letters, we explore Jesus' message to the church in Sardis in Revelation 3:1–6. Though the church had a reputation for being alive, Jesus saw a deeper reality: they were spiritually dead. This sobering message reminds us that Jesus is concerned not just with how we appear to others, but with who we really are.Yet Jesus doesn't leave His people without hope. Jesus has what we need to be fully alive. Through His call to wake up, remember, and return to what they had received and heard, we discover that moving forward in faith often begins by going back to the truth of the gospel. Jesus invites us to examine our hearts, recover what has been neglected, and live in the fullness of life He provides.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.orgConnect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!Instagram: @integrity_churchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/liveintegrity/

WATCH TONIGHT: https://youtu.be/hFzDr-bHwiwFamily, we hear a lot about when a woman decides it's time to leave a marriage. We don't hear nearly as much about when the man says, enough. My brother from another mother, attorney and Broadway producer James Walker, sat down with me and told his uncoupling story, 12 years after he filed.Everybody saw the picture on the mantle. Home was a different story. When the police came to the door, James says he made the one decision every man needs to hear about: don't lose your cool. Then a sergeant pulled him aside and told him something he never forgot.In this episode:• Why he tells young men not to rush into marriage• The sergeant who said, "You don't raise a boy like that if you're a bad father"• Why losing your cool can cost you everything• The bonus daughter who never skipped a beat• Why divorce is an earthquake for kids, and how to keep being dad• The tell-all he never posted, and why he listened when God said don't• From $20K short on a building to $20K on the decorator. See the shift.Fellas, listen. If you don't share what you're going through, it's going to take you through. Talk to a brother, talk to your pastor, get you a therapist. Like James said, man will let you down, but God won't. Watch the whole thing, then send it to a man who's carrying it all by himself.

Topics discussed include what your blood pressure numbers mean, common risk factors, warning signs, lifestyle changes, medication management, sleep apnea, pregnancy-related blood pressure concerns and when to seek emergency medical care. Read the full story: https://news.sanfordhealth.org/podcast/hypertension-vs-hypotension-why-blood-pressure-matters/Learn more about Sanford Health at: http://www.news.sanfordhealth.orgConnect with us on social:FacebookTwitterInstagramLinkedIn

What happens when you've built a successful career—and finally ask whether the life you're building is actually the one you want?Trisha Daho had done what many professionals spend years working toward. She made partner at a Big Four accounting and advisory firm, built multimillion-dollar practices, led large teams, and developed leaders who went on to become executives themselves. But underneath the accomplishments was another story.Trisha had spent much of her life learning how to navigate being an outsider—the new girl, the person entering a community she didn't quite belong to, the professional learning how to prove her value. And in corporate life, she became very good at producing.So good, in fact, that she later recognized one of her biggest mistakes: she thought people primarily wanted to see what she could produce, so she didn't let them see enough of who she was. Then, while on vacation and taking yet another conference call, her now-husband asked a deceptively simple question:“Do you really love this that much?” No one had ever asked her that before.In this episode of Thriving in Intersectionality, Dr. Lola Adeyemo and Trisha explore what happened when she began moving from proving toward choosing—and how that shift eventually took her from Big Four partner to entrepreneur, people and culture advisor, and even across the Atlantic to build a life in France.In this episode, you'll learn: How moving frequently as a child shaped Trisha's experience of being an outsider  Why class became one of the most important dimensions of identity for her to examine  How recognizing her own class bias changed the way she thought about opportunity and other people's careers  Why Trisha considers hiding much of her personal self one of her biggest corporate mistakes  The question that caused her to reconsider a successful Big Four career  Why she wondered at 39 whether it was already too late to do something different  How her own experience of feeling disempowered eventually inspired the name Empowered Why different people can want completely different things from work—and both can be right  How Trisha has allowed her business to evolve as she has evolved  Why moving to France was the first major decision she says she made purely because she wanted it  What becoming an immigrant herself taught her about language, intelligence and belonging  Why self-awareness, emotional intelligence and being comfortable in your own skin matter in leadership  Why Trisha believes we often underestimate the options available to us One idea to carry with you“Don't ever believe that you don't have options. You always have options.” This isn't a conversation about everyone leaving corporate America.It's about knowing yourself well enough to recognize the difference between the life you're successfully performing and the life you actually want.Sometimes staying is the choice.Sometimes leaving is the choice.Sometimes evolving what you've already built is the choice.The important question may be whether you are actually choosing.About Trisha DahoTrisha Daho is the founder of Empowered and a fractional Chief People Officer who helps organizations build thriving cultures, stronger leaders and high-performing teams. Her work spans culture strategy, talent acquisition and retention, leadership development, performance management, organizational change and executive advisory. Before founding Empowered, Trisha spent more than 15 years with Ernst & Young, where she became a partner, built multimillion-dollar businesses across multiple regions, led international teams of 50–100 people, and worked with Fortune 500 organizations on complex business challenges. She holds a J.D. from Case Western Reserve University School of Law and a B.S. in Economics, Finance and Sociology from Miami University. Today, Trisha works across the U.S. and Europe, helping organizations strengthen the connection between their people, culture and business performance.Connect with Trisha: Empowered Leadership Cultivation Trisha Daho on LinkedInAnd for the closing meal question?Trisha would bring real Mexican food to France.After several years there, a good taco remains one of the things she misses most.

What does it look like to pursue exceptional business results without sacrificing the people responsible for producing them?Kathy Miller started working on a factory floor at 17 years old. She went on to lead global operations across automotive, aerospace and industrial manufacturing—including responsibility for billions of dollars in operations and thousands of employees.But some of the experiences that shaped Kathy most aren't found in the executive bio.Growing up as the oldest daughter with three younger brothers. Entering a male-dominated workplace while still a teenager. Experiencing loneliness at a young age while appearing confident and high-achieving on the outside. Watching a 50-year-old manufacturing plant close and seeing firsthand what the loss of a workplace could mean to employees, families and an entire community.Those experiences influenced a leadership philosophy Kathy carried throughout her career: results matter, but they shouldn't come at the expense of human dignity.In this episode of Thriving in Intersectionality, Dr. Lola Adeyemo and Kathy explore the experiences behind her leadership journey—from engineering and global operations to positive psychology, coaching and what she calls “Kathy 2.0.”In this episode, you'll learn: How Kathy's upbringing as the oldest daughter with three brothers shaped the way she entered male-dominated environments  Why she began working on a factory floor at just 17 years old  How loneliness early in her career helped deepen her empathy for what employees may be carrying beneath the surface  Why witnessing a major plant closure changed the kind of leader Kathy wanted to become  How an assignment she initially viewed as being “sidelined” became one of the most important opportunities of her career  Why Kathy encourages professionals to sometimes say yes before they can see exactly where an opportunity will lead What she learned from being one of the few women in manufacturing leadership—and why representation eventually became more important to her  Why leaders don't have to become copies of the people already in the room  How positive psychology helped Kathy put research behind leadership practices she had developed through decades of experience  Why there is real leadership power in learning to pause before reacting How coaching helped Kathy ask a pivotal question: What do I actually want to do next? Why strong business performance and human flourishing don't have to compete Kathy's current work builds on more than three decades leading transformations across organizations including General Motors/Delphi, Parker Hannifin, Rolls-Royce and Vertiv. Today she advises manufacturing executives and HR leaders on connecting leadership, culture and operating performance. One idea to carry with youKathy offered a simple challenge to leaders:Learn the business. Speak the language. Ask good questions. But don't become a copycat of everyone else in the room.Your identity and leadership style don't need to disappear in order for you to produce results.As Kathy put it, the goal is to achieve those results without sacrificing the human dignity of the people you lead.About Kathy MillerKathy Miller, MAPP, MBA, ACC, is a senior advisor to manufacturing executives and HR leaders, board director, keynote speaker and author. Over more than three decades, she progressed from shop-floor industrial engineer to global operations executive, holding senior leadership roles with organizations including General Motors/Delphi, Parker Hannifin, Rolls-Royce and Vertiv. She previously served as Global Director of Manufacturing, Assembly & Test for Rolls-Royce Defense, with responsibility for more than $3 billion in operations across facilities in the United States and United Kingdom. She is a Women in Manufacturing Hall of Fame inductee, a Shingo Prize recipient, and the author/co-author of MORE Is Better and Steel Toes and Stilettos. Kathy also holds a master's degree in Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania, an MBA from Ball State University and an Associate Certified Coach credential from the International Coaching Federation. Today, through MORE 4 Leaders, she works with leaders and organizations to strengthen leadership, culture and performance. Connect with KathyWebsite: www.more4leaders.com LinkedIn: Kathy Miller, MAPP, MBA, ACCAnd for the meal…If Kathy were sharing a meal with her coworkers, she'd create a baked potato bar—potatoes plus all the toppings people could choose for themselves.And, very on-brand for someone who studied psychology, she admitted she'd probably also be curious about why everyone chose what they chose.

In early 2026, the global oil market experienced a seismic shift. When geopolitical tensions with Iran escalated, crude prices surged—and Texas responded. In this episode, economist Karr Ingham, oil producer Rey Trevino, and energy journalist Stu Turley break down how a single conflict triggered a cascade of market changes: rig counts climbing for the first time in years, jobs returning to the industry, and a historic deal securing 65 billion barrels of Venezuelan oil. But here's the real story: how these moves reshape energy independence, refinery infrastructure, and consumer prices for the next decade.Check out the Texas Alliance of Energy Producers: https://www.texasalliance.orgConnect with Karr on his LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/karr-ingham-9b62333a/Connect with Rey on his LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/reytrevinoiii/1.

In Revelation 2:12–17, Jesus speaks to the church in Pergamum—a church that had remained faithful in a difficult and hostile environment, yet had begun to drift into dangerous compromise. Jesus sees their endurance, but He also lovingly confronts the ways they have allowed the world around them to shape their allegiance.Following Jesus means more than standing firm when faith is tested; it means wholehearted allegiance to Jesus in every area of our lives. The danger of compromise is that drift rarely feels like rebellion, but Jesus calls His people away from what competes for our hearts and toward something better: Himself.Faithfulness may go unnoticed on earth, but it is never unnoticed in heaven. Jesus sees His people, confronts our compromise, and invites us to live as though His love is better than anything the world offers.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.orgConnect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!Instagram: @integrity_churchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/liveintegrity/

In Week 2 of our Lampstand Letters series, we turn to Jesus' letter to the suffering church in Smyrna. Revelation 2:8–11 gives us an honest picture of the cost of following Jesus, while offering a hope that is stronger than our suffering: Jesus has enough life for our death.Jesus sees the suffering of His people. He knows their tribulation, their poverty, and the persecution they are experiencing. Yet He calls them to remain faithful, even when following Him becomes costly and even when life seems to get worse.The good news is that suffering does not mean Jesus has lost control. In Christ, our suffering has a boundary, death does not have the final word, and there is a crown of life waiting for those who faithfully endure. Because Jesus Himself died and came to life, He is uniquely able to meet us in our suffering and lead us into resurrection life.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.orgConnect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!Instagram: @integrity_churchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/liveintegrity/

A Navy SEAL commander on identity, faith, and why we fight the wars we fight.Captain Robert "Gus" Gusentine spent nearly 30 years in the Navy, commanding SEAL Team 10 and leading special operations forces from the Philippines to the Pacific. He joins Corey to talk about faith, painting, moral injury, and what it means to defend your identity without losing your soul.Calls to Action✅ Leave a rating and review: lovethepodcast.com/politicsandreligion✅ Subscribe on Substack: coreysnathan.substack.com✅ Watch and subscribe on YouTube: youtube.com/@politicsandreligion✅ Share this episode with someone who reads the news and someone who's given up on it.Key Takeaways:Identity is the last citadel of the soul. Gus argues that when you back someone into a corner over their identity, there's nowhere left for the conversation to go. That's why wars of religion cut so deep.Faith and religion aren't the same fight. Drawing on a mentor's line, "we never go to war over faith, we always go to war over religion," Gus distinguishes belief itself from the practice and politics built around it.Moral injury outlasts the battlefield. Gus and Corey discuss what happens when service members carry out orders that conflict with their conscience, and why caring for that wound is a command responsibility.Art forces you to see differently. Gus talks about painting as a discipline that trained his eye long before it trained his hand, and how that same habit of seeing applies to leadership and writing.About Our Guest:Captain Robert "Gus" Gusentine served nearly 30 years in the Navy, including as an exchange officer with Germany's Kamphschwimmer Company, commander of SEAL Team 10, operations chief (J3) for Special Operations Command Pacific, and commander of Joint Special Operations Task Force Philippines. After retiring in 2014, he led the Strategic Leaders International course at the Naval Special Warfare Schoolhouse, teaching senior military officers and diplomats from around the world.

In Week 1 of our Lampstand Letters series, we hear Jesus' message to the church in Ephesus in Revelation 2:1–7. Jesus sees their work, recognizes their perseverance, and commends their commitment to truth. Yet He also identifies something deeply important that they have lost: their first love.This passage reminds us that faithful activity and sound doctrine are not substitutes for affection for Jesus. Jesus is jealous for our affections. He desires not simply our service, our commitment, or our knowledge, but our hearts.As we begin the Lampstand Letters series, we are challenged to examine whether our lives are marked by both faithfulness to truth and a growing love for Christ. Jesus calls His church to remember, repent, and return to the love that shaped us in the beginning.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.orgConnect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!Instagram: @integrity_churchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/liveintegrity/

In Week 6 of our These Things You've Heard Me Say series, we come to Paul's final charge to Timothy in 2 Timothy 4. Paul looks back on a life faithfully lived for Jesus and looks forward to the completion of his race, reminding us that gospel legacy is the result of a life submitted to Jesus and His mission.A gospel legacy isn't built through recognition, success, or simply being remembered. It is formed through a lifetime of faithfulness—preaching the gospel, enduring hardship, following Jesus, and investing in others. What we do with our lives today can help shape the faith of those who come after us.As we consider Paul's example, we are challenged to ask what kind of legacy we are leaving and whether our lives are being faithfully submitted to the mission of Jesus.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.orgConnect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!Instagram: @integrity_churchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/liveintegrity/

She shares her personal story of an emergency landing and the deep peace she felt when she looked back on a life built with love, purpose, and intention.For high-achieving women in dentistry and healthcare, this episode speaks to the hidden cost of burnout, stress, and putting everyone else first.

In Week 5 of our These Things You've Heard Me Say series, Paul reminds Timothy that disciples of Jesus find life in God's Word. Scripture is not merely information to study or a collection of teachings to admire—it is God's Word given to shape, correct, equip, and transform His people.As disciples, we are invited to build our lives on the truth of Scripture, trusting God's Word to form us into people who are equipped for every good work. In a world filled with competing voices and ideas, we find life and direction by returning again and again to what God has spoken.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.orgConnect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!Instagram: @integrity_churchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/liveintegrity/

Your past may be shaping your choices more than you think. In this episode, Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy reveals how trauma and old stress can shape the way high-achieving women in dentistry work, lead, and set boundaries. Even with a thriving practice and financial security, fear can make it hard to choose more time with family or accept support. Dr. Tarryn explains why trauma is not a contest, how it can show up as overworking, perfectionism, hyper-independence, and financial fear, and why awareness matters. This honest conversation offers a new way to see the patterns that may be stealing your peace, freedom, and happiness.

In Week 4 of our These Things You've Heard Me Say series, we look at Paul's warning to Timothy about the dangers of the last days and the kinds of influences that can shape our lives. A maturing child of God learns to recognize the people, priorities, and patterns that can pull our hearts away from Jesus.Following Christ means more than avoiding bad influences—it means cultivating a heart that is increasingly shaped by Jesus. As we grow in maturity, we are called to guard both the influences we follow and the heart we cultivate, allowing the gospel to shape who we are and how we live.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.orgConnect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!Instagram: @integrity_churchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/liveintegrity/

This week's episode is a little different.A few weeks ago, a group of us took on a 53km challenge across the Peak District to raise money for Menopause and Cancer. Somewhere between the hills, the aching feet, the snack stops and plenty of laughter, I had this feeling that I wanted to ‘bottle up' some of the conversations and the energy we had - to bring it to you.So, instead of an expert interview, I thought I'd invite you to come along for the post-walk chat with us.You'll hear honest conversations, a few giggles, reflections on why community matters so much after cancer...and yes, the story of why I ended up feeling rather guilty about keeping hold of one of the prizes that had been donated for our walkers. Let's just say...it involved a rather unexpected gift from our lovely Dr Angela Wright!This episode is a reminder that healing doesn't only happen in clinic rooms. Sometimes it happens when you're walking alongside people who simply understand.Whether you've been listening for four weeks or four years, thank you for being part of this community.And if today's episode leaves you wishing you were there with us, why not join our London Bridges Challenge on 12 September? We'd absolutely love to welcome you. Or perhaps you'll even be tempted by the whispers of an even bigger challenge next year…? You can also take on a challenge anywhere in the world too!Who's in?

What if the way you treat yourself after a mistake is what keeps you stuck? In today's episode, Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy shares a powerful reminder for high-achieving women in dentistry and healthcare. Self-criticism does not help you grow. It can raise stress, drain your energy, and pull you back into habits you are trying to change.After losing 25 minutes to Instagram instead of her morning routine, Dr. Tarryn catches herself before shame takes over.

In Week 3 of These Things You've Heard Me Say, we explore 2 Timothy 2:14–26 and discover that discipleship is about far more than gaining biblical knowledge—it is about transformation. Paul reminds Timothy that the gospel is the source of life, that gospel formation becomes visible in how we live, and that the gospel frees us to pursue spiritual maturity.What is forming you? The voices, ideas, habits, and influences we allow into our lives are shaping us, and what forms us will eventually become visible. But the good news is that Jesus doesn't simply call us away from sin—He frees us to pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace alongside other believers.The purpose of discipleship is transformation: becoming people who are increasingly shaped by the gospel and equipped to help others mature and multiply as followers of Jesus.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.orgConnect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!Instagram: @integrity_churchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/liveintegrity/

Beyond income, practice growth, and financial freedom, she asks what truly makes a life feel rich.Through a personal story and honest reflections from her years in dentistry, Dr. Tarryn shares why success can sometimes feel like pressure, how “golden handcuffs” can limit freedom, and why time, health, relationships, creativity, and choice may matter more than the next number in your bank account.

In Week 2 of our These Things You've Heard Me Say. series, we discover that the gospel was never meant to stop with us. In 2 Timothy 2, Paul reminds Timothy that what has been faithfully received must also be faithfully entrusted to others who will continue the work of making disciples.Disciple-making begins and ends with God's grace. His grace fuels our faithfulness, sustains us through the challenges of perseverance, and empowers us to invest in others for the sake of Christ. Though the work is often costly, the reward is seeing God transform lives, and the lasting result is a gospel legacy that reaches future generations.Join us as we explore what it means to faithfully guard the gospel—not by keeping it to ourselves, but by giving it away so others can do the same.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.orgConnect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!Instagram: @integrity_churchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/liveintegrity/

The behavior is a signal, not the story. In today's episode, Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy reminds high-achieving women in dentistry and healthcare that a hard moment does not mean they have failed.

In the opening message of These Things You've Heard Me Say, we begin Paul's final letter to Timothy with a powerful reminder that the Christian life is meant to be passed on. In 2 Timothy 1, we discover that discipleship is spiritual parenthood—a lifelong calling to mature and multiply believers who will carry the gospel to the next generation. A gospel legacy begins with a sincere faith that is completely dependent on Jesus and fully confident in His promises. As we fan into flame the gift God has given us through His Word and the power of the Holy Spirit, we become faithful disciples who help others follow Christ. Our mission is not simply to believe the gospel, but to leave a gospel legacy.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.orgConnect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!Instagram: @integrity_churchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/liveintegrity/

What if the way you were taught to be strong is also the thing keeping you stuck? In this episode, Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy speaks to high-achieving, deeply passionate healthcare professionals and high-achieving women in dentistry who feel the pressure to stay confident, keep giving, and never question the system. She talks about patient trust, provider burnout, moral injury, insurance stress, packed schedules, and the belief that everyone else's needs must come first. This conversation helps dentists, doctors, and healers see why self-trust matters just as much as patient care. When you question the old way with love and courage, you can start building a career and life that feel true to you.Show notes:(3:00) Why the system feels broken(4:03) Confidence, trust, and patient care(8:06) The shadow side of confidence(10:37) Moral injury in healthcare(13:28) Questioning puts power back(15:32) A self-alignment framework to help dentists and healthcare professionals to reconnect with themselves beyond burnout and outside expectations. https://truetomemethod.com/(18:25) When everyone else came first(25:40) Living true to yourself(28:30) Small shifts create freedom(31:12) Outro_______________________IMPORTANT LINKS:Empower Her Retreat:Dates: October 1–4, 2026Location: Taos, New MexicoWebsite: empowerherretreat.orgConnect with Dr. MacCarthy:Email: tarryn@drtarrynmaccarthy.comBook a call with Tarryn:https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/bookings/happiness-and-prosperity-strategy-callUnlock your inner peace and reclaim joy in your profession with the Nervous System Regulation For Dentists Course: https://www.thebizofhappiness.com/calmPlease join my Facebook group, Business Of Happiness Hive, so we can all take this journey to find fulfillment and happiness together.

There's a federal law that's supposed to protect you from toxic chemicals in your baby bottles, your carpet, your drinking water, and your kid's toys. Most people have never heard of it — and right now, some lawmakers are trying to quietly weaken it. In this episode, Corey sits down with Sarah Vogel, Senior Vice President for Healthy Communities at the Environmental Defense Fund, to break down the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA): how it went from a "dog that never barked" to a bipartisan reform ten years ago, why Black and brown communities carry the heaviest burden of chemical exposure, and what's actually at stake if these protections get rolled back. Sarah also shares real, practical steps you can take at home — no chemistry degree required.This episode is brought to you by Goodfeed. ═══════════════════════════════In this episode:What TSCA is, why it was passed in 1976, and why it barely worked for 40 yearsThe 2016 bipartisan reform that finally gave the EPA real authority to review chemicalsWhy cost can't be part of the "is this safe" conversation — but can factor into "how do we manage the risk"Why Black and brown communities are disproportionately exposed to industrial pollution and toxic waste, and how redlining is directly tied to thatWhat's being proposed right now that could quietly gut these protections againWhy "regulation kills innovation" doesn't hold up — and what strong rules actually do for public health and industrySimple, low-cost things you can do today: testing for lead, skipping fragranced products, avoiding plastic in the microwave, washing your hands after cleaningResources mentioned:Learn more about TSCA: edf.org/tscaCheck your exposure risk by zip code: chemicalactionmap.edf.orgConnect with Sarah Vogel and the Environmental Defense Fund at edf.org.This episode is brought to you by Goodfeed — goodfeed.co. ★ Support this podcast ★
