Chai Can't Even usually focuses on young adults and why they stay in the church, but this time, host Blake Smith is sitting down with Tore Nilsen, whose grandfather was one of the first converts in Norway, and who is himself in his 80s. As a matter of fact, he was a young adult when his grandfather thought he was old enough to be baptized. Since then, he's spent his years serving in various leadership roles in the church while the church changed… in a good way … around him. Listen in and be inspired by one who has stayed and still has great hope! Download TranscriptThanks for listening to Project Zion Podcast!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission: “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.

What if the real reason you feel stuck isn't the strategy… but the story you're believing underneath it? In this episode, I'm getting real about why surface-level fixes—like grinding harder or switching up your to-do list—don't actually create lasting transformation. I share a moment from my own business where I hit a plateau and thought the answer was more action… when really, it was about going deeper. Because friend, the fruit (your results) will always reflect the root (your beliefs). If you've ever wondered why you keep hitting the same walls despite doing all the things—this episode is going to hit home. We're talking identity, belief, healing, and the inner shifts that truly create outer change. Let's get to the root.

This week on Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Andrea Taylor, and Mark Wright break down the essentials of a true metabolic workup. This episode moves beyond social media diet trends and digs into the science behind comprehensive lab panels, what they measure, and why they matter for your whole-body health. Dr. Cooper explains how to interpret common and advanced metabolic markers—like blood sugar, insulin, cholesterol, hormone levels, and more—while Andrea and Mark share personal insights into the power of understanding your metabolic baseline. If you're concerned about weight, diabetes, or just want to know your numbers, this episode gives you the knowledge to talk confidently with your healthcare provider.Key Takeaways:A whole-body metabolic approach goes beyond just weight or blood pressure—comprehensive lab work (plus family history) is essential to uncover risks or dysfunction early.Standard blood panels provide useful clues (glucose, cholesterol, liver, kidney, blood pressure), but advanced tests (A1C, lipid particles, hormone levels, inflammation markers) round out the picture.Metabolic dysfunction is driven by factors far deeper than calories in/out—dieting and under-fueling can actually weaken metabolism over time.Medication for metabolic health is not a failure; it's a science-backed intervention. Early and accurate testing allows for better, evidence-based treatment.Don't ignore “borderline” results—addressing issues early is easier and more effective than trying to reverse advanced dysfunction later.Personal Stories & Practical Advice:Andrea recounts her life-changing journey from endless dieting to real answers through complete metabolic testing and individualized treatment.Mark highlights the need for patients to advocate for themselves and ask for more than just the standard panel at annual exams.References:Diet Failure Rate• Mann, T., et al.

“I grew up with puppetry and voices and weird little characters. I never really let that go — I just found ways to turn it into a life.” - Nate Begle In this episode, we're joined by Nate - He's a voice actor and puppeteer with over two decades of experience in storytelling across stage, screen, and sound. His career has spanned live theme park shows, national commercials, animation, and narration work for over 30 audiobooks. Nate has collaborated with major creative institutions, including James Patterson, The Jim Henson Company, Walt Disney Entertainment, and Sesame Street. Deeply rooted in performance, character work, and voice, Nate brings a grounded and authentic presence to everything he creates. He allows the characters, not the performer, to take center stage.Nate and I nestle in for a tender, playful, and witty conversation about a life built around performance. We talk discovering creative purpose early, navigating years of invisible work, and learning how to keep showing up for the craft even when no one is watching.We talk about his roots in Midwest community theater, how Fraggle Rock cracked open a lifelong fascination with puppetry, and the reality of building a career from bits and odd jobs to full-time creative expression. Along the way, we dive into themes like staying grounded while performing, the therapeutic power of play, self-belief in the face of doubt, and the surprising joy of working just off-camera.From humor and nostalgia to identity and intention, this conversation brings small insights that build into something honest, warm, and very real.More notable quotes from the episode:- “A lot of people think voiceover is just ‘talking,' but it's not. It's acting. It's truth-telling. It's intention.”- “It's like, if you see something that's not available where you're at - then make it.”- “There's a moment where you stop trying to get it perfect and start asking if it feels true. That's when you know you're doing the work.”For more on Nate Begle, head over to his IMDB here: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4662429/Checkout Nates website here: https://www.natebegle.com/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@NateBegleLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nate-begle-785155bb/Hit subscribe, we'll see ya next episode.

Hey Family Brand — it's Melissa here. Today's episode is a little different, and honestly, it's one I tried to record six different times. It took me a while to even figure out what I wanted to say because this one hits close to home. Last week, my cousin and his wife passed away unexpectedly in a tragic plane crash, leaving behind two little ones. Even as I write that, my heart feels so heavy. It's every parent's worst nightmare to even imagine not being there for your kids as they grow up. It's something we never want to face — and I never thought we'd have to. But this experience really made me look at some practical things that all of us, as parents, need to have in place. Specifically: a will, and life insurance. Years ago, when we had our last baby, one of Chris's clients — who happened to be an attorney — kind of nudged us to ask, “Hey, if something ever happened to you guys, who would raise your kids? Do you have a plan for that?” We didn't, so we sat with it and decided it was too important to put off. So, I'm sharing some of that thought process today. Who did we pick? What kinds of questions did we ask ourselves? And, honestly — I'd encourage you to do the same. It's one of the most caring, responsible things we can do for our kids. And the other thing I want to talk about is life insurance. That was something that really shifted for me as we were having babies. Back then, Chris had just gotten a policy, and I thought, “That's great. That's one box checked.” But then our agent asked if we'd thought about me too. Even though I wasn't working much at the time, he explained that if something happened to me, someone would need to help with the kids, house, all of it. Plus, we'd need the space to grieve without worrying about finances. That really stayed with me — because it's not just about income, it's about protecting your family's time together too. So if you don't have a will or you haven't updated yours in a while, or if you don't have life insurance, I just want to gently encourage you to make some time to do that. It's not fun to talk about. Trust me, I get it. But it really is an important part of being an intentional family. And I'll leave you with one last story that kind of caught me off guard… The other day after one of Ivy's softball games, we were driving home and I saw this random basketball on the side of the road. I told Tanner to pull over so I could go grab it — I'm forever rescuing random stuff on the roadside lol — and when I picked it up, I flipped it over and saw the name “Smith” written on it in kid handwriting. It was our basketball that we hadn't seen in probably a year and a half. How it ended up two towns over, on the side of the road where I happened to drive past it? I have no idea. And I just felt this really sweet, gentle reminder that God sees us. That even when life feels heavy or uncertain, we're not alone. So that's my encouragement for you this week — you're seen, you're loved, and you're not forgotten.  P.S. Hug your babies a little tighter tonight.

I checked the top 50 chess players and saw only one person around my age: Viswanathan Anand.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE (+ scroll for resources)

Meredith Goldstein writes the wildly popular Love Letters column in the Boston Globe, but for much of her life, she's viewed romantic relationships as a trap. Meredith grows up seeing the limitations of her mom's insular life, and knows she wants more for herself. It's only when the pandemic forces her to slow down that she realizes the beauty in giving attention to each moment, rather than always thinking about the next five things. Years after Meredith's mom passes away, she emulates the way she lived her life, and finds that leaning into simple routines unlocks a surprising feeling of euphoria.Each episode of Meditative Story combines the emotional pull of first-person storytelling with immersive music and gentle mindfulness prompts.

What is one thing in your life that is keeping you from experiencing freedom, joy, and a flourishing life? If you were to remove this one “weed” in your life, how would it transform your life and help you step into your God-given potential? Christie and Allie talk about the power of identifying and removing the “weeds” in our lives that hinder our spiritual and personal growth. With vulnerability, they share their own stories of overcoming challenges, including addictions and unhealthy relationships, and the importance of a relationship with Jesus as our foundation for true transformation. They close by talking about the impact of social media and alcohol on mental health, and the hard work required to cultivate a fulfilling life.   Conversation Topics Transformation begins with identifying the weeds in our lives. A relationship with Jesus is the most powerful way to be transformed. Common weeds include addictions, unhealthy relationships, and self-destructive patterns. Sin can rob us of a flourishing life, but God's grace offers freedom. Personal stories of overcoming self-centeredness and vanity. Alcohol and social media can be significant weeds that numb our pain and hinder our growth. Tending to our lives requires commitment, wisdom, and hard work. We have the agency to make changes in our lives that can bring freedom and joy. The journey towards an abundant life involves replacing negativity with beauty and goodness.   Chapters 00:00 Welcome to the New Studio 02:31 Transforming Your Life: The Power of Weeding 05:05 Identifying Weeds: Common Struggles 08:16 The Role of Jesus in Transformation 10:36 Personal Stories of Weeding Out Negativity 13:46 The Impact of Alcohol and Vanity 16:55 Social Media: A Modern Weed 19:48 The Hard Work of Pulling Weeds 22:43 Tending to Your Garden of Life 25:04 The Journey to Flourishing 27:59 Closing Thoughts and Encouragement   Watch this in-studio episode on Youtube: https://youtu.be/ZMk70b-iLDk  Get our Guide: "15 Social Media Boundaries to Protect Your Joy" Get Allie's book “Social Media Reset” Get Allie's book “Wonderfully Made” Join our Love Her A'Latte campaign — make our podcast possible.

This episode is different. It is personal.Because for the first time, I will be sharing something I have not yet spoken about publicly.My father passed away this March. Just two days before my birthday.And in the weeks that followed, I gave myself permission to fully grieve, to feel, to remember, to process.It was a conscious act of mourning, supported by ceremony, solitude, and also by ketamine therapy, medically supervised at our clinic in Santa Monica.It helped me meet the waves of grief and let them move through me, not around me.And in that space, I kept returning to one question: Why, in our culture, is death treated as something to avoid, deny, or sanitize?Why is something so universal, so sacred, still held in so much fear?Today's guest has devoted her entire life to shifting that.Barbara Karnes is a hospice pioneer and one of the most respected voices in end-of-life education.Her booklet Gone From My Sight, known as The Little Blue Book, has sold over 40 million copies and changed how countless families understand and approach death.In this conversation, Barbara offers profound wisdom: she offers a map, a presence, a way of holding death that allows us to also hold life more fully.This is much more than a conversation about dying. It is a conversation about what it means to live without fear, and to love more openly, even at the edge of goodbye.Episode highlights:02:45 Ariana's Personal Story of Grief and Healing05:29 Understanding the Dying Process10:40 The Role of Caregivers and Cultural Myths About Dying21:51 The Emotional and Spiritual Costs of Caregiving31:36 The Role of the Witness in the Dying Process33:04 Creating a Sacred Experience Before Death34:08 Saying Goodbye and Processing Grief42:16 The Importance of Personal Choice in End-of-Life Care44:44 Cultural Perspectives on Death and Aging52:32 Rehearsing for Death Through Life's Changes54:25 Barbara's Personal Relationship with Death56:22 Understanding Grief as Part of the Dying Process01:02:39 Barbara's Legacy and ResourcesResources mentioned:https://bkbooks.com/pages/about-barbarahttps://bkbooks.com/collections/allSOCIAL MEDIALinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/barbarakarnesrnInstagram https://www.instagram.com/barbarakarnesrnFacebook https://www.facebook.com/barbarakarnesrnYouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXVqIQdyP2OBTop8-jboRww

This week on Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Andrea Taylor, and Mark Wright uncover the truth about fatty liver disease and its rapid rise in both adults and children. It's estimated 125 million Americans have the disease. Dr. Cooper explains the critical role the liver plays in metabolism—covering hundreds of essential functions—and why fatty infiltration poses serious risks. The episode demystifies diagnosis, risk factors, and treatment options, empowering listeners to take a proactive approach to liver health and metabolic wellness.Key Takeaways:Fatty liver disease, now known as MASLD—Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease, affects about 30% of adults, and is rising in youth, especially those with obesity or type-2 diabetes.Risk is not limited to higher body weights; up to 15% of normal-weight people are also affected, with genetics playing a significant role.Diagnosis can be tricky: blood enzymes (ALT, AST) and platelet counts factor into the highly predictive FIB-4 score, while imaging (like fibroscan) provides clarity on severity.Untreated, fatty liver can progress to inflammation, fibrosis, and even require a liver transplant, though early-stage disease is often reversible with proper intervention.Treatment focuses on improving metabolic function—through medication, diabetes management, and sometimes lifestyle changes—as solely relying on diet and exercise may not be enough, particularly for advanced cases.Personal Stories & Practical Advice:Andrea shares her own experience discovering fatty liver disease and seeing rapid improvement after metabolic treatment.The hosts discuss common misconceptions, and why liver health should be checked in both children and adults, regardless of body size or outward health.Resources:Connect with Dr. Emily Cooper on LinkedIn.Connect with Mark Wright on LinkedIn.Connect with Andrea Taylor on Instagram.Fat Science is a podcast on a mission to explain where our fat really comes from and why it won't go and stay away. We are committed to creating a world where people are empowered with accurate information about metabolism and recognize that fat isn't a failure.

Ever feel like you're the assistant in your own business instead of the CEO? You're not alone.In this deeply personal episode, I'm sharing my journey from scattered OBM to soul-aligned coach, and the exact moment I realized that my "successful" business was actually running me instead of the other way around.If you've ever felt stretched thin by client work, stuck reacting to everyone else's priorities, or wondered how your business started controlling your life instead of supporting it, this episode will resonate deeply. I'm pulling back the curtain on what "success" really looked like behind the scenes and the breaking point that changed everything.The truth is, most service providers accidentally become assistants in their own businesses. We think flexibility and constant availability make us valuable, but they often lead to chaos, burnout, and loss of direction. When you're operating inside everyone else's business instead of your own, it's impossible to build something truly scalable and fulfilling.In this episode, I share the mindset shift that transformed everything: moving from "What do my clients need?" to "What actually lights me up?" This isn't just about feeling good (although you will) — building around your unique magic is the smartest business strategy you can implement.Key Points Covered:✨ Why being "fully booked" can actually mean you're losing control of your business✨ The daily reality behind a "successful" OBM business (spoiler: it was chaotic)✨ The breaking point that made me question everything✨ How I reclaimed my voice and rebuilt around my strengths✨ What true business alignment actually feels like✨ Why your unique magic isn't just nice-to-have — it's your competitive advantageIf you're ready to stop being the assistant in your own business and start leading something extraordinary, this episode will show you exactly how to make that shift.

Listeners will discover how Rick's StoryQ Method and verbal journaling unlock what he calls the "emotional immune system"—a vital part of our mental health. Through real-life stories, Rick explains how naming our experiences gives us power over them and why every person's story—no matter how ordinary it may seem—is a legacy worth preserving. From childhood trauma to the grief of losing loved ones, Rick reminds us: “You own nothing more valuable than your story.” Whether you're a parent, educator, leader, or simply someone seeking clarity, this episode will help you understand your story as your roadmap to purpose and wholeness.

How should Christians approach immigration, justice, and faith in today's cultural climate? In this episode of the Voxology Podcast, Mike and Tim dive into "Joyful, Peaceful, and Gracious Noncompliance," exploring what scripture teaches about welcoming the stranger, showing compassion, and advocating for justice. Drawing on the work of experts like Matthew Soerens and their own reflections, they tackle the complex intersections of cruciformity, faith and politics, and the role of the church in society. Through real-life stories, scripture analysis, and discussions on cultural challenges, they address the dehumanizing language often used in immigration debates, the tension between legality and justice, and the church's responsibility to embody the teachings of Jesus. What does it mean to love our neighbor, especially when they are vulnerable? How can the church navigate these issues with humility, courage, and hope? Engage with thoughtful insights, critical questions, and a call to action to advocate for justice in peaceful, gracious ways. Feel free to email your questions, share your perspectives on social media, and join the conversation as we pursue faithfulness to Jesus in a complex world.
