Au cœur du Pacifique, les atolls de Polynésie française abritent des écosystèmes parmi les plus foisonnants au monde. Mais ces territoires insulaires sont aujourd'hui menacés par le dérèglement climatique, et le titi, petit oiseau endémique, en est l'un des premiers témoins. Face à cette urgence, Matthieu Juncker, biologiste passionné par le Pacifique, choisit une approche à contre-courant : s'isoler 200 jours sur un atoll inhabité pour étudier le titi, comprendre son habitat et témoigner de la fragilité d'un paradis menacé.Abonnez-vous à notre newsletter pour ne louper aucun épisode ➡️

Send us Fan MailCorporate philanthropy for foster care adoption becomes more powerful when personal conviction, business systems, and measurable outcomes work together!Denny Lynch, author of Call Me Dave, and Rita Soronen, president and CEO of the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, share how Dave Thomas turned his own adoption story into a lasting model for corporate-nonprofit impact.This fascinating discussion explores founder legacy, cause alignment, franchise engagement, program design, capacity constraints, and the responsibility successful businesses have to give back. It is a powerful example of how one leader's personal experience can become an enduring institution when passion is matched with structure, measurement, and shared ownership.Dave Thomas founded the foundation in 1992 after recognizing that children waiting in foster care were being overlooked. His approach went far beyond lending a famous name to a cause. He brought the same focus, urgency, and operating discipline that helped build Wendy's, asking a direct question: How many children did we help move into permanent families?Rita explains how that expectation pushed the foundation from awareness-building toward measurable action. The Wendy's Wonderful Kids program now funds adoption professionals across the United States and Canada who use an evidence-based, child-focused recruitment model. The goal is not simply to generate interest, but to strengthen the capacity needed to connect children, especially older youth, with safe, loving, permanent homes.As Rita tells us, “Behind that word dramatic is something measurable.” That mindset offers a valuable lesson for nonprofit executives, board members, funders, and corporate partners: a compelling mission must be supported by clear outcomes, sufficient infrastructure, and transparent reporting.Denny also describes the leadership traits that made Thomas's commitment credible. “Find something that means something to you,” he advises business leaders, because authentic commitment attracts employees, franchisees, families, and communities in ways that transactional sponsorship cannot.00:00:00 Dave Thomas and the Mission of Foster Care Adoption00:01:38 Twenty Years of Stories Behind Call Me Dave00:03:29 Why Children Wait Years for Permanent Families00:04:36 How Adoption Shaped Dave Thomas00:07:08 The Values That Defined His Leadership00:09:35 A Final Mandate: Get This Job Done00:11:43 Finding the Courage to Share His Story00:13:19 The White House and Corporate Adoption Benefits00:14:45 Keeping a Founder's Legacy Relevant00:18:39 Engaging Wendy's Franchisees in the Mission00:22:29 Building an Evidence-Based Adoption Program00:24:35 Measuring Results Instead of Activity00:26:34 What Business Leaders Can Learn From Dave Thomas #CorporatePhilanthropy #FosterCareAdoption #TheNonprofitShowFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us  Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits!  12:30pm ET   11:30am CT  10:30am MT  9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

Celebration as Christopher and Natalie hit a milestone most podcasts never reach: episode 150. In this unscripted, no-notes conversation, they pull back the curtain on what it's actually taken to keep Dating Intelligence going — the burnout, the format pivots, the moments they almost quit — and why the real work was never about dating advice, it was about doing the inner work themselves first. They talk candidly about authenticity versus performance, building community that actually sticks, and how personal transformation shows up in everything from relationships to money to how you show up on camera. Then they shift gears entirely: road trip stories, DJ Nani makes an appearance, and a reminder that even people who talk about relationships for a living are still figuring it out in real time.  Key  topics Milestone celebration and behind-the-scenes stories The importance of authenticity and inner work in personal growth Strategies for building community and meaningful connections Insights on podcasting evolution and content format changes The role of humor, energy, and authenticity in hosting and relationships Celebration of 150 episodes Personal growth and transformation Road trip stories and snacks Music and self-expression Vulnerability and evolution in life and podcasting Chapters: 00:00 Introduction and Milestone Celebration 00:30 Host Appreciation and Show Evolution 01:49 Overcoming Burnout and Staying Motivated 02:47 The Power of Authenticity and Charisma 04:00 How Social Media Sparks Led to Collaboration 07:55 Podcast Format Changes and Video Integration 08:50 The Importance of Perspective in Relationships 12:01 Handling Toxic Environments and Energy Management 15:02 Personal Stories of Overcoming Challenges 19:54 Event Highlights and Community Building 24:00 The Intersection of Romance and Finance 26:59 Unblocking Mindsets for Better Opportunities 30:01 Road Trip Adventures and Personal Growth 31:06 Closing Remarks and Future Plans 32:29 Wedding in Utah and Celebrating Love 34:15 Yin and Yang in Relationships 36:03 Road Trip Snacks and Music Rituals 48:01 Memorable Road Trip Moments 54:38 Favorite Music and Playlist Tips 01:00:33 Reflections on Growth and Future Goals Links: Alyssa Jenkins - Genesis Wealth Partners - https://www.linkedin.com/in/alyssajenkins Natalie Stavola - Coach and Podcast Host - https://www.linkedin.com/in/nataliestavola Christopher Louis - Podcast Host - https://www.instagram.com/christopherlouisdate Natalie Stavola Coaching - https://nataliestavolacoach.com DatingMentality.com - https://datingmentality.com LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/natalie-stavola Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nataliestavola Dating Intelligence - https://www.dating-intelligence.com

What does "right to work" actually mean and who does it really benefit? In this episode of Advocacy Bites, hosts Renée Sekel and Susan Book continue their series breaking down North Carolina's proposed constitutional amendments by tackling one of the most misunderstood issues in state politics: the proposed Right-to-Work constitutional amendment. Many North Carolinians assume "right to work" protects workers from being fired. In reality, the policy centers on labor unions, collective bargaining, and workplace rights. Renée and Susan unpack the history of right-to-work laws, explain how they affect union membership, wages, and worker protections, and explore why lawmakers want to move an existing state law into the North Carolina Constitution. The conversation goes beyond definitions to examine what constitutional amendments are designed to do, why they're so difficult to reverse, and how changes to the state constitution can shape labor policy for generations. Whether you support unions, have questions about workers' rights, or simply want to better understand what's on your ballot, this episode offers the context every North Carolina voter should hear. In this episode, you'll learn: What "right to work" actually means—and what it doesn't The difference between right-to-work laws and at-will employment How union membership impacts wages, benefits, and workplace protections Why North Carolina has one of the lowest unionization rates in the country Why lawmakers want to place right-to-work into the state constitution How constitutional amendments can permanently reshape public policy What this proposal could mean for the future of workers' rights in North Carolina If you're interested in North Carolina politics, constitutional amendments, labor unions, workers' rights, public policy, voting, civic engagement, labor law, collective bargaining, or state government, this episode provides the insight you need before heading to the ballot box.

How to Lead Your Wife Through Change | Ten Biblical Strategies Every Husband Needs Every husband who takes Scripture seriously eventually faces this challenge. God convicts you that something in your home needs to change. Maybe it's family worship. Maybe it's your budget. Maybe it's homeschooling, church life, discipline, or a theological conviction you've recently embraced. The question isn't whether you should lead. The question is how. Too many men swing between two sinful extremes. Some become passive and avoid difficult conversations altogether. Others come home with a brand-new plan they've been thinking about for months and expect their wife to embrace it in six seconds. Biblical leadership looks different. In this episode, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon and Zach Krugler unpack ten practical, biblical strategies for leading your wife through change with conviction, wisdom, patience, and love. They discuss why leadership requires both authority and understanding, how to cast vision without overwhelming your family, why repentance often begins with the husband, and how to remain steadfast when leadership is met with resistance. If you've ever wondered how to implement meaningful change in your marriage without becoming passive or overbearing, this episode is for you.

"The Settlement Cook Book" was published in 1901 and quickly became a kind of guidebook for Jews who had come to America. In her new book, "Recipes for the Melting Pot: The Lives of The Settlement Cook Book," author Nora Rubel delivers a story of immigration, culture, and assimilation — all themes deeply relevant today. She tells stories of food, noting that foods tied to Jewish culture (bagels, pickles) were not necessarily Jewish foods in other parts of the world. We discuss the lessons that come from a cookbook that is now 125 years old. In studio:Nora L.

Faith deconstruction has become one of the defining conversations in modern Christianity—but what does it actually mean to deconstruct your faith? In this episode of The Biblical Mind Podcast, Dru Johnson sits down with pastor, YouTuber, and book reviewer Joel Wentz to explore why so many Christians are questioning their beliefs and how those questions can lead to deeper spiritual maturity rather than cynicism.Drawing from his own experience growing up in evangelical Christianity, Joel shares how wrestling with doctrines like hell, eschatology, and biblical interpretation led him through a season of deconstruction before discovering a richer understanding of historic Christian faith. Together, Dru and Joel discuss the difference between sincere faith exploration and tearing down beliefs for their own sake, the role of church culture and church hurt, why asking difficult questions is deeply biblical, and how the Nicene Creed and church history provide stability amid uncertainty.The conversation also explores theological humility, the importance of Christian tradition, the dangers of intellectual arrogance, and how pastors, churches, and Christian communities can create safe spaces for honest questions without abandoning biblical orthodoxy.Whether you're personally deconstructing your faith, walking alongside someone who is, or simply want to understand one of today's most important conversations in Christianity, this episode offers thoughtful, compassionate, and biblically grounded wisdom.Visit Joel's youtube channel (Click Here), or his Patreon (Click Here)Contact us at The Biblical Mind: Click HereWe are listener supported.

What if the stories you've been told about yourself aren't the whole story? In this episode of Perspectives Podcast, Rev. Hannah and licensed marriage and family therapist Sheilah Cameron, LMFT, explore the Samaritan woman at the well (John 4) and what it teaches us about shame, identity, worth, and belonging. Drawing on both Scripture and therapeutic insight, this conversation explores how shame, exclusion, and internalized beliefs affect our mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. And how Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman offers a picture of being fully known without being shamed. This is Episode 5 of our five-part series, Taking Care of Mind, Body, and Spirit, featuring the female pastors of First United Methodist Church of San Diego and Sheilah Cameron, Director of New Life Counseling Center. Inspired by John 4:7-19 and 27-29, the episode includes: Why the Samaritan woman’s story continues to resonate today How shame becomes a part of our internal narrative The connection between trauma, belonging, and identity Why compassion is more transformative than judgment Healing through safe relationships and authentic connection Releasing identities built around shame and survival Practicing vulnerability with ourselves, others, and the Sacred Finding a deeper sense of worth beyond labels and expectations What the story in John 4 offers people seeking healing today Reflection Questions: What labels have you carried for so long that you've mistaken them for your identity? Are you spending more energy protecting your reputation than nurturing your identity? What would change if you truly believed you are fully known and fully loved?

In this episode of We Should Know Better, the guys dive headfirst into a hilariously chaotic mix of viral street culture, heavy theological head-scratchers, and unsolicited physical observations.  Zack and Andy break down a bizarre viral video of a street preacher casting quite the extreme "biblical" curse on a dancing Jesus impersonator.

Welcome back to the Messy Success Podcast. This week's episode is a personal story about what it really means to have a business built around your life, one that lets you say yes to the people and moments that matter most, even when they show up without warning. Elizabeth shares the story of reconnecting with a childhood best friend during a hard season, dropping everything for a week to help her, and what that trip revealed about the freedom in entrepreneurship she has spent years building toward.   This episode is for anyone who has ever felt torn between showing up for their business and showing up for their people, and anyone quietly wondering if entrepreneurship is actually giving them the freedom they were promised. Elizabeth talks through the guilt that can creep in before saying yes to something big, the difference between building a life around a business versus a business around a life, and why community, both personal and professional, is not optional. She also gets honest about what it felt like to unplug for an entire week and trust that her business would still be there when she got back.   If you needed a reminder that the whole point of this was never just the business itself, this one is for you. Take a listen, and let yourself sit with the question: what is your business actually allowing you to do?

What exactly is "Church Hurt," and how do you heal when the very place meant to provide spiritual safety becomes the source of your deepest pain?In this heavy but incredibly necessary episode, we are joined by creative leader Stephen Brewster. After kicking things off by discussing his journey in helping local churches write and produce their own original music, the conversation shifts to the painful reality of serving in ministry. Stephen opens up about his own personal experiences with church hurt and explains why we might need to reframe the conversation from "the church hurt me" to "broken people hurt me."In this episode you'll hear: 0:00 Intro Antics5:30 Stephen Brewster: Helping Churches Release Original Music13:30 Defining "Church Hurt" in Modern Ministry25:00 Stephen's Personal Story of Church Hurt33:00 Reframing the Pain: "Church Hurt" vs. "People Hurt Me"41:00 Why You Still Need to Go Back to Church54:00 How to Be a Solution to Toxic Church Culture57:00 Thinking of Quitting Ministry?

What if you have more influence over your thoughts, emotions, and healing than you realize? In this episode, I sit down with neurosurgeon, author, and podcast host Dr. Lee Warren to discuss the powerful connection between neuroscience, faith, and emotional healing. We talk about how our thoughts literally change the structure of our brains, why trauma does not have to define our future, and how God has given us both the responsibility and the ability to participate in our healing. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, grief, people-pleasing, overthinking, or a painful season that feels impossible to move through, this conversation offers both practical hope and biblical encouragement. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN [00:00] Why You Have More Power Over Your Thoughts Than You Think [04:00] What Self-Brain Surgery Is and Why It Matters [07:00] Why Trauma Doesn't Have to Define Your Future [10:00] The Connection Between Gratitude, Anxiety, and Brain Science [17:00] Dr. Lee's Personal Story of PTSD, Grief, and Healing [24:00] "Pick Up Your Mat and Walk": God's Invitation to Participate in Your Healing [28:00] How to Stop Participating in Your Own Demise [33:00] Getting Better Instead of Bitter: How Suffering Can Refine You RESOURCES: The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery by Dr. Lee Warren DrLeeWarren.com  The Dr. Lee Warren Podcast RELATED EPISODES: Ep 358: People Pleasing: Is This the Real Reason You're Exhausted + Overwhelmed? Ep 359: When Emotions Feel Scary: Practical Tools to Courageously Process What's Inside Ep 365: God Reveals So He Can Heal (And It's Time to Step Into That Healing) Send us Fan Mail
