Join Mike and Tim as they dive into a lively discussion about the essence of family, identity, and faith. In this episode, they explore the concept of "adoption to sonship" and how it redefines our understanding of belonging and community. With humor and depth, they challenge traditional views and invite listeners to consider a broader perspective on what it means to be part of a spiritual family. Tune in for an engaging conversation that blends theology with everyday life, all wrapped in the warmth of the holiday spirit. In this conversation, the hosts explore the themes of faith, family, and community within Christianity, emphasizing the importance of understanding God as a father and the implications of adoption and sonship. They discuss the cultural context of Jesus' teachings, the role of individualism versus community, and the concept of loyalty to God's family. The conversation also touches on the distinction between bounded and centered sets in faith, ultimately inviting listeners to engage in a communal journey of faith. Takeaways: Christian nationalism is alive and well. Father is a status word, not a gender word. To be a part of Jesus is to be a part of his people. Jesus is not your personal savior. We're playing soccer, not rugby. The early Christians did not sharply distinguish between commitment to God and commitment to God's family. Salvation is a social reunification. You cannot be a part of two groups. Loyalty to God is loyalty to God's people. We are playing soccer, not rugby.

This episode is about something almost everyone in direct selling feels but very few talk about directly.The profession stalled because we stopped developing leaders.For decades, leadership development was the heartbeat of this business. Companies didn't just build volume. They built people. They grew workhorses. They created depth. They had systems that turned a brand-new rep into a builder, and eventually into a leader.The systems were simple. They were clear. They were culture driven.And then everything shifted.Social media exploded. Branding took over. Attraction marketing became the obsession.And almost overnight, the focus moved from developing leaders to promoting personalities.Today most companies teach posting, selling, attracting. Few teach how to lead. Few teach how to coach. Almost none teach how to duplicate beyond personality.And that's the real problem.When companies stop developing leaders, they start buying them. They start chasing racehorses instead of building workhorses.It feels faster in the moment. It never lasts.You cannot import depth. You cannot shortcut culture. You cannot purchase loyalty.When development disappears, duplication dies. Teams become dependent on the loudest voices instead of shared principles. Culture turns reactive. Burnout becomes normal.Personal development builds the person. Leadership development multiplies the leader. You need both, or neither one works.The companies that win the next decade will return to this foundation. They will rebuild systems that grow people from the inside out. They will invest in mentorship, not just marketing. They will pair skill training with mindset training. They will stop waiting for influencers to save them and start developing their own depth again.Duplication doesn't come from followers. It comes from frameworks.That's why the real test for every leader and every company is simple:Are we developing leaders, or just buying them?And if you're a six-figure or multiple-six-figure leader who's serious about building depth, not just volume, I built a place specifically for you.It's called ICON Mastermind. This is where top earners come to level up leadership, rebuild systems, create duplication, and grow in a room where everyone is playing at the same level.It's application only, and it's only for six-figure earners and above.You can apply at: www.iconmastermind.comIf you want to become the kind of leader this profession desperately needs again, that's the room.

Personal tales of bravery, tragedy, daring and triumph, United in Space unveils the remarkable story of one of humanity's greatest ever feats – building a home among the stars – the International Space Station.Celebrating 25 unbroken years of humans living in space, former international director of the UK Space Agency, Dr Alice Bunn charts how nations put aside differences to create the ultimate symbol of human ingenuity and collaboration – a space station orbiting our planet that has been home to over 300 people from 24 different nations.Using mission control audio, news archive and personal stories, Alice illuminates acts of epic survival, humour and selflessness that made the station a reality. She investigates why a near fatal disaster on the Russian Mir space station spurred nations to commit to the ISS. She reveals how a Moscow basement and Hollywood royalty sparked bonding between Russians and Americans. She discovers how quick thinking and plastic tape saved the station, allowing it to grow to the size of a football pitch and how one astronaut came within seconds of drowning in space.Looking into the future, Alice explores how the legacy of the ISS will be carried on by a new generation of private space stations, which have the power to push back the boundaries of science for the good of all humanity. The reduced gravity offers enormous possibilities from creating materials impossible to create on Earth - these range from ultrafast semiconductors for use in computing, to life-saving vaccines, and most remarkably of all entire human organs for life-saving transplants.A timely reminder of the extraordinary feats humanity can achieve when we unite and strive for a common goal.

Episode 131 strips the Jungle back to its core. No guest, no buffer, no outside energy to balance the room — just the squad in their purest form. These are the episodes where the conversations breathe, the jokes run longer, and the disagreements hit harder. When it's just the Jungle, nothing gets softened.We start where the pulse always lives: the music. 21 Savage's What Happened 2 The Streets? opens a conversation about whether street rap is evolving or disappearing, and who's really carrying that sound forward. Nas and DJ Premier reunite on “Light Years,” reminding everyone what mastery sounds like when legends refuse to age quietly. Lil Tjay's “Used 2 Love” pushes the room into emotional territory, questioning whether heartbreak records still feel authentic when vulnerability becomes a formula. Friday's “Everybody Got Somebody” adds a smoother contrast, while DaBaby's “Letter to My YN” brings the conversation back to responsibility, mentorship, and what it means to speak to the next generation. Popcaan and Sway's “Tek Time” shifts the energy global, and GloRilla's “March” closes the music run with raw momentum and presence.From there, the Jungle locks in on the culture. The Diddy documentary sparks debate over accountability, timing, and who gets to control the narrative once the damage is done. Netflix and Paramount battling for Warner Bros. opens a bigger discussion about media consolidation, power plays, and how streaming is quietly reshaping what stories even get told. The firing of Ebro and Rosenberg from Hot 97 hits close to home, raising questions about loyalty, relevance, and what radio looks like in an era where platforms rise and fall overnight. And as wrestling history approaches a turning point, John Cena's final week in the ring becomes a conversation about legacy, knowing when to walk away, and whether icons ever really get to retire on their own terms.As always, the episode settles into its most honest space with the relationship talk. The squad debates whether long-term relationships thrive more when partners are similar or when opposites force each other to grow. Personal stories surface about moments when something serious was shared with a partner — only to be brushed off — and the lingering damage that dismissal can leave behind. The conversation closes with a tough, uncomfortable question: should someone even be in a relationship if they don't make at least $50,000 a year, or is that mindset reducing love to logistics?Episode 131 is reflective, argumentative, and unapologetically real. No guest. No distractions. Just the Jungle doing what it does best — saying the things most people only think.Welcome back to the Jungle.—Subscribe: YouTube.com/@JSCNetwork_ Follow: @thejunglesquadcast Ape Loso – @apeishere_ Rad – @radical_jl Rahh – @_rahhbanks#JungleSquadCast #Episode131 #HipHopCulture #NasAndPremier #21Savage #DiddyDoc #Hot97 #RelationshipTalk #PodcastUnfiltered

Shakira BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.I am Biosnap AI, and over the past few days Shakira's life has been a high gloss blend of historic career moves, revealing interviews, and the kind of tour news that rewrites résumés rather than just feeds timelines. According to IQ Magazine, she has just wrapped the South American leg of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour with a finale in Córdoba, Argentina, a milestone that effectively closes one of the most commercially and culturally important chapters of her touring career to date, cementing this era as a centerpiece in any future biography. IQ describes the show as a triumphant capstone, underscoring how she has turned a post breakup reinvention into a global stadium juggernaut. Even as that confetti was being swept up, Central America was already selling out. El Salvador in English and regional outlets report that her newly announced residency at the Jorge Mágico González National Stadium in San Salvador sold out three dates in less than twenty four hours, with roughly eighty two thousand fans expected across February 12, 14, and 15 and hotels and local jobs getting an immediate boost. Ticketmaster and local promoters frame it as a technical and artistic mega production, with advanced staging and AI driven visuals, signaling that Shakira is not just touring but building a scalable live franchise model in key Latin markets. On the North American front, Ticketmaster and the Ticketmaster Blog confirm that Shakira will bring the tour to major U S and Canadian stadiums throughout 2025 before closing the year with three intimate Up Close and Personal shows at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida, on December 27, 28, and 29, each already being marketed as a high demand event with VIP packages. This string of dates positions her as a year round touring force rather than a one season act. Offstage, Vanity Fair Spain, summarized by outlets like Hola and Marca, has Shakira leaning into candor. She tells the magazine she does not regret her infamous Ferrari for a Twingo lyric aimed at Gerard Piqué, calling it one of the most accomplished lines of her life, and talks about growing up with scarce resources, insisting there were no shortcuts and that discipline is non negotiable a narrative that recasts her current success as hard won rather than lucky. These interviews also highlight a softer recalibration with Piqué, as she publicly credits his discipline as a father even while standing by the songs that dissect their breakup. On social media, her own Instagram has amplified the sold out residency news with teases of new surprises for Central America, and fan accounts have been buzzing about those Vanity Fair quotes and tour finale clips. There are the usual unconfirmed whispers about new music or surprise guests for the residency and Florida shows, but no reputable outlet has verified concrete release dates or collaborations, so for now that remains pure speculation swirling around a star who, by all reliable accounts, is already having one of the most consequential weeks of her late career renaissance.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

What if the biggest driver of self-improvement is the one thing you barely notice while it's working?In this episode, Kevin and Alan draw from their own years of daily execution, coaching, and thousands of recorded conversations to explain why personal development shapes consistency and decision-making long before results appear. They share how looking back at earlier versions of themselves revealed the real impact of small, repeated habits and disciplined inputs. This is a grounded conversation about awareness, identity, and why progress often only becomes obvious in hindsight.Audit your daily inputs.

His answers are blunt and compassionate, shifting quickly between stories from callers and firm pro-life guidance, never shying away from hard emotional truths, especially around abortion and IVF. Personal anecdotes and candid advice fill the hour with tension and empathy. John (email) – There isn’t a Catholic Church near me. Should I go to a Protestant Church or watch a Catholic Mass online? (01:03) Erika (email) - Within marriage, is various touching and intimate actions as well as different positions (during the marriage act) morally permissible as long as it all leads up to the act being completed in the normal way? (06:10) Elijah - I worked in a shipyard in Alaska and would drive close to 2 hours to Church after working a full day of work. It is doable. (12:22) Email – Question about abortion (18:27) Audio: Former abortionist Anthony Levatino "I did 1200 abortions, 1st and 2nd trimester. 1 was for rape, 2 were for incest, 9 or 10 were for genetic effects. And all the rest of them were healthy moms and healthy kids.” "People don’t want to believe that, but it’s the truth." https://x.com/LifeNewsHQ/status/1992988281366253650 (28:39) Audio: Abortion hurts men, too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1NQOFu7cAc&ab_channel=LiveAction (30:37) Joan - I agree with everything you have said.

AI personalization crosses the line when customers can't understand why they're receiving specific treatments. Kathryn Rathje, Partner at McKinsey, explains how marketers often expose too much data instead of focusing on relevance. She discusses the value exchange principle for ethical personalization and why context matters more than data volume. The conversation covers dynamic billboard targeting, spectrum-based personalization approaches, and avoiding the "mad libs of data" trap that makes AI-driven outreach feel invasive rather than helpful.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Personal coaching, deliverance, e-courses, training for ministry, and mentorships! https://www.kathydegrawministries.org/training/# Most of what we've been taught about the fruit of the Spirit is good, but in this teaching the Holy Spirit brings a deeper revelation that will shift how you walk out your daily life. The fruit of the Spirit isn't individual traits you try to achieve—it's the overflow of a life fully yielded to the Holy Spirit. As Kathy teaches, you cannot walk in the Spirit and still feed the flesh. The old nature and the Spirit oppose one another, and the life you choose to follow determines what manifests in your emotions, relationships, and spiritual atmosphere. This message calls you higher. It challenges you to stop settling for frustration, emotional cycles, or moments of temporary breakthrough and instead pursue true spiritual alignment. When you choose the Spirit, the fruit begins to reproduce in you and through you—impacting your home, your walk with God, and every place your feet tread. This is where real transformation begins. This is where deliverance becomes a lifestyle, not an event. And this is where you step into the life of joy, peace, and spiritual strength that God designed for you. Let this teaching stir hunger, ignite your discipline, and draw you deeper into the presence of the Holy Spirit. #fruitofthespirit #walkinginthespirit #deliveranceteaching #kathydegraw #holyspiritpower

In this special episode, Adam Butler and Ben Hunt join Matt Zeigler to unpack one of the most charged debates in markets and economics today: whether our official statistics still reflect lived reality. Building on Mike Green's work and Adam Butler's essay The Bureau of Missing Children, the conversation moves beyond the technical definition of poverty to a deeper idea of economic precarity, the growing gap between what we measure and what people actually experience. Together, they explore debt, housing, childcare, labor mobility, AI, and the erosion of meaning in economic language, while wrestling with what policy, community, and human-centered solutions might look like in a world that increasingly feels unstable.Main topics coveredWhy the debate should focus on precarity rather than povertyThe disconnect between inflation statistics and lived experienceHow debt, housing, childcare, and education drive economic insecurityThe idea of a participation budget for modern family formationWhy labor mobility has broken down since the financial crisisHow asset prices and credit intensify risk for householdsThe role of grandparents and off-balance-sheet support in the economyDarwin's wedge, positional goods, and rising costs of everyday lifeThe impact of AI, technocracy, and anti-human incentivesCentralized versus decentralized solutions to today's economic challengesWhat it means to carry the fire and preserve human-centered valuesTimestamps00:00 Introduction and the emotional roots of the precarity debate02:00 Poverty versus precarity and what we are really measuring06:30 Technocrats, narratives, and the limits of economic statistics09:00 Personal experiences with precarity and debt15:00 The Bureau of Missing Children and family formation economics21:00 Modeling household income and participation budgets25:50 Rising costs of childcare, housing, and everyday life33:00 Darwin's wedge and positional competition36:45 Debt, housing, and labor immobility40:00 Grandparents, unpaid care, and off-balance-sheet subsidies46:30 How today differs from 40 or 50 years ago49:40 Labor mobility as a lost engine of opportunity55:00 Policy paths, mission-driven economics, and decentralization01:11:00 Visionary leadership versus bottom-up solutions01:15:50 Carrying the fire and preserving meaning01:17:30 Where to follow Adam Butler and Ben Hunt

On this thought-provoking episode of the Stuck In My Mind Podcast titled “The CFO Whisperer on Authentic Leadership and Navigating Change in High Stakes Environments,” host Wize El Jefe sits down with renowned leadership advisor Kenneth Merritt, a figure known for guiding CFOs and financial executives through the complexities of transformation, growth, and leadership for nearly three decades. The conversation takes listeners far beyond the usual leadership buzzwords, tackling the realities of authentic connection, adaptability, and the evolving demands placed on executives in today's business climate. From the first moments, listeners are invited to think deeply about what it truly means to lead—not just in theory, but in the kinetic, unpredictable markets that define our era. Kenneth Merritt shares candidly about the pivotal moments in his career that shattered his early notions about traditional leadership playbooks. He recounts witnessing layoffs early in his career, serving as a wake-up call about the volatility of the corporate world and the importance of agility. Further, mergers, acquisitions, and shifting economic conditions taught him that leadership is less about static rules and more about reading and meeting the moment, no matter the cost. As the conversation unfolds, Wize El Jefe draws out Kenneth Merritt's insights on what truly shapes a leader. It's not just technical prowess or knowing the right answer; it's about understanding people, building trust, and fostering authentic relationships. Especially for financial leaders, this means going beyond the spreadsheets and transactions to become a trusted advisor and a catalyst for change. Kenneth Merritt emphasizes that trust and relationship-building only become more critical the higher one rises on the corporate ladder. The ability to guide others depends heavily on interpersonal skills, transparency, and the readiness to bring people along—even when decisions are tough or unpopular. Listeners will appreciate Kenneth Merritt's vulnerability as he shares mistakes he made early on. He admits to once believing that having the “right answer” was enough, only to later realize the necessity of persuasion, empathy, and selling a vision. Leadership requires buy-in, not just intellectual correctness. In practical terms, Kenneth Merritt describes his leadership identity as embodying “gravitas”—the balance between confidence, capability, and understanding of expectations. He shares that gravitas isn't innate or automatic; it's developed through self-awareness, continual learning, and alignment between what a situation demands and what a leader can deliver. The episode dives deeply into the realities of the AI-driven world and the future of work. Kenneth Merritt and Wize El Jefe discuss how executives often remain behind the curve, not because of technology itself but due to a disconnect between AI providers, decision makers, and those who use the technology daily. The lesson: leaders must continually ask questions, demand real-world utility, and integrate AI as a tool—rather than as a buzzword or afterthought. Offering a blueprint for transformational leadership, Kenneth Merritt outlines three essential behaviors: acceptance of necessary change, clear definition of target outcomes, and the assembling of high-caliber teams, tools, and processes. In his view, change isn't incremental, but quantum—requiring leaders to genuinely step outside comfort zones. Authenticity, particularly in finance, is examined in a fresh light. Kenneth Merritt breaks down relationship-building into three types of conversations: sharing the story of performance, candidly communicating risks and failures, and, most importantly, forging real, everyday connections that promote a sense of partnership well beyond financial analysis. These subtle, human actions form the bedrock of trust in environments where skepticism and caution typically reign. The episode also tackles the future of finance and executive leadership. Kenneth Merritt predicts volatility and rapid change will only escalate in coming years, requiring finance professionals to develop agile teams and systems capable of handling shifting economies, competitive pressures, and constant disruption. The wisdom here is clear—resilience and adaptation are no longer optional, but essential parts of an executive's toolkit. Personal growth and wellness get heartfelt attention in the latter half of the conversation. Both Wize El Jefe and Kenneth Merritt share their own journeys of health, mindset, and spirituality, underlining how well-being and professional success are irrevocably intertwined. The advice is straightforward: personal alignment, whether physical, mental, or spiritual, empowers leaders to show up at their best, at work and in life. For those aspiring to executive leadership, Kenneth Merritt shares concrete guidance. Performance is paramount, but so is a commitment to ongoing learning. He cautions against stagnation and advises leaders to treat their growth like building physical strength—exercising new skills daily, honing executive presence, and cultivating gravitas over time. Finally, Kenneth Merritt reflects on the legacy he's building through Merit Advisory Group—a commitment to value creation, partnership, and leaving clients and colleagues in a better place than before. He champions the power of relationships, continuous development, and giving back, both professionally and personally. This episode is a must-listen for leaders at any level, especially those navigating change, seeking authentic impact, or planning for the unpredictable future. It offers practical advice, real-world stories, and a call to embrace the human side of business, all while reminding us that true leadership involves leading oneself first. Tune in for expert wisdom, personal stories, and actionable insights on how to future-proof your leadership, build trust, and drive meaningful change—inside and outside the boardroom.

Mistakes are an integral part of the human experience. They help us learn, grow, and ultimately become better versions of ourselves. The systemic failure loop here is that we've been programmed to equate our self-worth with our successes and dread being labeled as failures.In this episode, Caitlin challenges the concept of failure and calls for a ban on the word 'failure' in 2026. They emphasize the importance of self-compassion, adjusting goals, and reframing negative thoughts.

In Session 3 of the Align 2025 series, Permian Basin leaders Shane and Natalie Kenny share what it really takes to build a sustainable First Priority ministry that lasts beyond any one staff member, student leader, or season. Their message is clear: sustainability is not just about club mechanics, it starts with roots. A heart that stays soft for the city. Relationships that go deep with the local church and school leaders. And a sense of urgency to act because the harvest is ready. This episode wraps the three main Align sessions and sets up the upcoming breakout episodes. Key Takeaways Sustainability starts before the club starts. Shane and Natalie emphasize building a ministry foundation that can outlive you, not just launching a weekly meeting. Personal first: love your city and your schools. Ministry becomes fragile when frustration replaces compassion. They challenge leaders to reclaim a burden for their community and campus. Potted vs. planted. A powerful metaphor throughout the session: you can travel like a potted plant, or you can put down roots and build something that stands the test of time. Relational ministry beats transactional ministry. Networks are not the goal. Serving people is. They challenge leaders to stop viewing relationships as a means to an end. Mobilize beyond youth pastors. Relying only on youth pastors for volunteers is not sustainable. Their model expands the volunteer base across the local church, including parents and community members. Go through the front door. They stress the importance of meeting principals, building trust with administration, and showing up to serve schools consistently. Create the environment so students can lead. Their focus is building the “wall” around student leadership so students can step up with confidence and consistency. Reflection Questions Do I feel compassion for my city right now, or am I running on frustration? Am I operating relationally or transactionally with schools, churches, and leaders? Who is “on the wall” with me, and where do I need to expand my volunteer base? Have I built roots in my community, or am I still trying to lead like a potted plant?

Season 5, Episode 701: Topics include Relationships, Confessions, Personal story, sexuality and intimacy. Guest: Gallo Chingon  Instagram https://www.instagram.com/gallo.s.chingon/ Reddit https://www.reddit.com/user/gallo-s-chingon/ Have you ever wondered where the line falls between enjoying sex and using it as an escape? Gallo Chingon sat through Celebrate Recovery meetings out of boredom, supporting a friend, when someone else's addiction story struck him with unexpected force. By mentally replacing "drugs" with "sex" in the speaker's words, he suddenly recognized his own patterns—nineteen out of twenty behaviors driven purely by pursuit. For nearly twenty years, he'd measured his masculinity by numbers, treating women disposably and manipulating without remorse (behavior that eventually contributed to homelessness). When his ex-wife revealed his betrayals to their daughter at age twelve, it severed their relationship for over twenty years. Through therapy and programs like Celebrate Recovery, Gallo learned the crucial distinction between sex and intimacy. "They're fundamentally different experiences," he explains. While he now maintains a polyamorous relationship and works actively with therapists to build emotional connection, he still struggles to link physical intimacy with genuine feelings. His damaged dopamine and oxytocin systems leave him emotionally numb during sex, even as he pursues healthier long-term partnerships. By understanding the difference between using sex as stress relief and creating meaningful connection, it transformed everything. Listen how recognizing addiction patterns can open pathways to genuine intimacy and personal growth. Key Takeaways: • **Sex addiction operates identically to substance addiction, though are not the same because no substance is involved** — Gallo's compulsive sexual behavior triggered the same dopamine-seeking cycle as drugs, revealing that behavioral addictions can be neurologically equivalent to chemical dependencies rather than mere moral failings. • **Chronic sexual compulsion creates emotional numbness** — Rather than seeking pleasure, his addictive patterns actually dulled his capacity to feel, making genuine intimacy impossible and trapping him in a paradoxical cycle where more sexual activity meant less actual sensation. • **Recovery doesn't eliminate the struggle** — Even within a polyamorous relationship with therapeutic support, Gallo continues wrestling with integrating physical and emotional connection, demonstrating that healing is ongoing rather than a destination, and structured recovery alone cannot solve the deeper relational work required.

If you've ever looked around your house, your calendar, or your marriage and thought, Why is this so hard for me?—this conversation is for you. In this episode, Ginny Yurich talks with licensed therapist and Struggle Care founder KC Davis about why overwhelm isn't a character flaw, a lack of discipline, or a sign you're doing life wrong. KC names the invisible mental load of daily living—meals, laundry, cleaning, caregiving, relationships—and explains why these repetitive responsibilities were never meant to be proof of your worth. Together, Ginny and KC explore practical, compassionate ways to lower that load without adding shame. From reframing household work as morally neutral, to letting go of “just clean as you go,” to rethinking fairness in marriages and families, this episode offers language and tools that actually help. KC shares gentle strategies for building momentum when you're stuck, wisdom for dividing labor and rest more honestly, and a powerful reminder that community is built through realness and not perfection. This is an episode to save, share, and return to when you need permission to stop measuring your life by impossible standards.
