People with healthier chest and back muscles had a significantly lower risk of both heart attack and early death over the next 10 years, suggesting that muscle quality may be an important marker of long-term heart health The condition of the muscles mattered more than their size; muscles with less fat trapped inside the fibers were linked to better cardiovascular outcomes than simply having larger muscles Strong chest and back muscles remained associated with a lower heart attack risk even after researchers accounted for age, sex, and calcium buildup in the arteries, suggesting muscle quality provides important information beyond conventional heart risk factors You don't need to become a bodybuilder to improve the muscles linked to heart health; consistent activities such as resistance training, rowing exercises, cycling, Pilates, brisk walking, and wall pushups all help strengthen the muscle groups identified in the study Building healthier muscles requires more than exercise alone; adequate recovery and enough protein, collagen, and healthy carbohydrates work together to support stronger muscle tissue and better long-term cardiovascular health

I've spent 20+ years in the fitness industry, and after leaving bodybuilding, I had to completely rethink what exercise means to me. In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I'm breaking down the 5 pillars of exercise for longevity: strength training, Zone 2 cardio, sprint interval training, mobility, and balance. I'll walk you through what I personally do each week and why I believe women over 40 need to think beyond weight loss and calorie burn. I'm also sharing why I approach HIIT differently for women in perimenopause and menopause, how I incorporate strength training, walking, Pilates, mobility, and sprint intervals into my routine, and why getting strong now can make a huge difference as we get older. If you're a woman over 40 who wants to prioritize strength, fitness, longevity, and healthy aging, this one's for you. And remember: consistency beats perfection every damn time. ❤️ #WomenOver40 #StrengthTraining #HealthyAging

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about cozy cardio, the viral trend of trading intense workouts for pajama-clad walks, candlelit stretching, and low-key movement paired with your favorite show or drink. It sounds too easy to work, so does swapping intensity for comfort really move the needle on your health, or is it just a trendy excuse to skip the hard stuff? Jenn breaks down the biochemistry behind why gentler movement might do more for your cortisol, consistency, and long-term results than you'd expect. Still, she also flags a few situations where leaning on cozy cardio alone could work against you. Is this the missing piece your routine has been needing, or a trend best kept in moderation? Jenn shares her honest take. Like what you're hearing? Be sure to check out the full-length episodes of new releases every Wednesday. Have an idea for a nutrition nugget?

In this episode, Pilate puts a sign on Jesus cross that says "Jesus of Nazareth: The King of the Jews." We discuss how this message is true, even though at the time Jesus seems to be anything but king!

It's hot in St. Louis. Like, “everybody in the neighborhood has given up on shirts” hot. Lern's porch has gone tarps off, Rizz is worried his shirtless yard work would lower property values, and somehow that leads to the crew comparing how often they pee in their own backyards. Rafe even demonstrates for his dog when necessary. Fatherhood is beautiful.This daily comedy also asks how many different homes everyone has lived in, uncovering everything from Rafe's Craigslist roommate from Barbados to Moon temporarily living in a GMC Jimmy. Then Rafe's attempt to buy a new TV turns into a conspiracy theory that Best Buy may just be ordering everything from Amazon anyway. “In stock” apparently means whatever we want it to mean now.Things get genuinely incredible with a St. Louis story about two-year-old conjoined twin sisters from Ethiopia who were successfully separated during a 25-hour surgery at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon. A team of doctors, nurses and specialists spent a year preparing for the procedure, allowing the sisters — who had never been able to look directly at each other — to finally see, hold and snuggle one another face-to-face.The crew also says goodbye to a St. Louis institution as O'Connell's Pub announces plans to close after more than 60 years, before former bartenders Lern and Rafe debate the worst day of the week to work behind the bar. Spoiler: Sunday customers apparently arrive carrying the Sunday Scaries and make them everybody else's problem.Finally, this daily comedy discovers “wellness darties,” the new college trend replacing some traditional daytime partying with Pilates, yoga, running, ice baths, matcha and protein shakes. Lern loves it. Moon has discovered the magic of steam rooms. Rizz is horrified and would apparently prefer college students honor tradition by making terrible decisions while their bodies are still young enough to recover.College kids doing yoga instead of keg stands?

The heat has officially broken everybody. This comedy podcast kicks off with St. Louis going tarps off as the crew debates shirtless yard work, peeing in the backyard and Rafe teaching his dog how it's done by providing a live demonstration. Moon even introduces us to the dream home amenity nobody knew they needed: an outdoor urinal connected to the gutter. Property values are doing great.Then we find out retirement apparently doesn't exist for rock stars. The crew gets into legendary musicians still touring well into their 70s and 80s, including Paul McCartney, Rod Stewart, Lionel Richie and more. That somehow leads us to the Hyrox athlete whose mid-race bathroom catastrophe went viral — and the massive PR mess surrounding the event afterward. This comedy podcast also hits celebrity chaos involving Ozzy and Black Sabbath, Metallica, Madonna, Taylor Swift and plenty more.Back in St. Louis, the show gets genuinely uplifting with the incredible story of conjoined twin sisters successfully separated during a marathon surgery at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon. The crew also says goodbye to O'Connell's Pub after more than 60 years and discovers that college students are apparently swapping some traditional daytime partying for “wellness darties” involving Pilates, yoga, matcha, running and ice baths. College has changed, and Rizz would like to file a complaint.Finally, Just the Two of Us puts the crew's ability to think alike to the test for concert tickets. Toothpaste, ketchup, fictional bears, John Candy movies, vampires and restaurant appetizers become shockingly difficult questions — until Lern and Moon manage ZERO matches and hand Patient Zero Shannon the win she's been waiting for.Tarps off, rock legends, viral disasters, St. Louis stories and adults nearly destroying friendships over whether the obvious fictional bear is Yogi or Winnie the Pooh.

In this episode, Pilate chooses to be a friend of Caesar instead of a friend of Jesus, and the religious leaders ultimately say that they have no king but Caesar!

John 19:13-14 “Therefore when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha. Now it was the day of preparation for the Passover; it was about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, ‘Behold, your King!'" The Pavement was a judgment seat outside the Praetorium, and there Pilate presented Jesus once again to the Jewish officials. He still had nothing by which to condemn Jesus. The Jew's accusation that He was an imposter portraying himself to be their king didn't seem to be worthy of the death penalty. Nevertheless, Pilate made one last fruitless appeal. Behold your king. There Jesus stood robbed in purple, crowned with thorns, blood steaming down His face and torso. The blood of the eternal covenant between the Father and the Son had begun to be spilled. Every drop that hit The Pavement declared the love of God for His people—an everlasting love, sustained by the will of God through the incomprehensibly brutal beating. The will of God the Father authorized it, and the will of God, the Son, received and endured it. In this the definition of the love of God is revealed: the sustained direction of the will, toward the highest good of another, no matter what the cost. This kind of love flows out of the lives of those in whom Jesus lives. And in a way, very different from what Pilate meant that morning, we say to the world, “Behold my King!” Acknowledgment: Music from “Carried by the Father” by Eric Terlizzi. www.ericterlizzi.com

In this episode, Jesus is before Pilate and we see that Jesus completely trusts that God is the one in control, even as he approaches the cross!

John 19:13-14 “Therefore when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha. Now it was the day of preparation for the Passover; it was about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, ‘Behold, your King!'" There isn't time to go through all the various explanations of the “sixth hour” mentioned by John in this verse. After reading many of them, I think this one seems most plausible, reconcilable to all accounts, and meaningful. Jesus was the sacrificial Passover lamb. The Greek word pascha, here translated Passover, is also used elsewhere to refer to the Passover meal or the lamb of sacrifice. Before the lamb was offered it had to be examined by the high priest and prepared. The only timeline that makes sense is this. Jesus was arrested around 2 a.m., taken to Annas' and the Caiaphas' houses for examination. Then He was taken to Pilate around 6 in the morning, then to Herod for further questioning and execution. When Pilate proclaimed to the Jews, “Behold your king” at around 8 a.m., 6 hours of examination and preparation had transpired—from 2-8. This explanation brings this account into the timelines of the other gospel accounts, but it also explodes with meaning. John revealed that God prepared His Passover Lamb according to the Law to fulfill all righteousness. The Lamb of God was prepared on the preparation day of Passover, and the Lamb was ready for sacrifice. He was presented one last time to the high priests and Jewish officials. Behold the love of God! His blood on your life means His death angel will passover your life and not destroy you. Look now at Jesus in the moment recorded here in John 19:14 and recognize and receive God's gracious and merciful provision so He could passover your sins.

Jesus commanded His followers to go into all the world and teach the truth. But throughout Scripture, we see that not everyone wants to hear that truth. Jesus was rejected in His own hometown of Nazareth. Pilate stood face-to-face with Jesus and asked, “What is truth?” And when given the opportunity to release Jesus, the crowd demanded that Barabbas—a thief and criminal—be released instead. Paul warned Timothy that a time would come when people would not endure sound doctrine. Instead, they would look for teachers who would tell them what they wanted to hear. In this episode, we explore why people reject truth, why they sometimes prefer what is wrong over what is right, and why our responsibility isn't to change the truth to make people comfortable. We are called to proclaim the truth—even when people don't want to hear it.

Who Should You Hire First? Build the Right Team for Your BusinessWho should your first hire be—a practitioner, instructor, admin, or manager?For many boutique fitness, Pilates, physical therapy, and wellness business owners, hiring happens when they're already overwhelmed. But hiring out of desperation can lead to putting the right person in the wrong role—or hiring someone without being clear about what you actually need.In this episode of the Female emPOWERed Podcast, Christa Gurka breaks down how to determine who your business really needs next using an accountability chart.Instead of building jobs around people you already know and like, Christa explains how to define the role first, identify the outcomes that person needs to own, and then find the right person with the skills to deliver them.In This Episode, You'll Learn:How to determine who your first—or next—hire should beThe difference between an organizational chart and an accountability chartWhy you should define the role before looking for the personHow to identify which “seat” will give you the most valuable time backWhy your best instructor or clinician may not make the best managerThe difference between being the right person and being in the right seatThe 3–5 measurable outcomes every role should ownWhen hiring an admin makes sense—and when hiring another practitioner is smarterWhat a true operations manager should take off the owner's plateWhy hiring based on skill set matters more than convenienceHow the right hire can help move you out of day-to-day operations and into the CEO roleWho Should You Hire First?Instead of asking:“Who is the least expensive person I can hire?”Ask:“Which seat, if filled today, would give me the most high-value hours back and help bridge the gap between where my business is now and where I want it to go?”If your schedule is maxed out because you're treating patients or teaching classes, another clinician or instructor may be the right hire.If you're spending hours answering calls, scheduling clients, following up on leads, collecting payments, and managing cancellations, an administrative hire may create a much bigger return.And if you're tired of managing every team member, solving every problem, and overseeing every system yourself, it may be time for an operations or studio manager.The Accountability ChartEvery business needs a few core functions:CEO/Visionary: Sets the direction and protects the long-term health of the business.Operations: Turns the CEO's vision into a business that can run day-to-day without the owner in the room.Marketing: Attracts qualified leads.Sales: Turns those qualified leads into committed, paying customers.Admin/Client Support: Owns the client experience outside of the actual service.Practitioner/Instructor/Coach: Delivers the exceptional client experience the business promises.One person can fill multiple seats, especially in a small business. But each seat needs clearly defined responsibilities and outcomes.Key TakeawayIf you can't clearly articulate in one sentence what a role is responsible for producing, you're not ready to hire for it.Before posting your next job opening, map out your accountability chart. Determine which seat you want to get out of, define the 3–5 outcomes that seat owns, and then hire the person with the right skills to deliver those results.Don't build a job around a person.Build the role your business needs—and then find the right person to fill it.Resources MentionedDownload Christa's free Accountability Chart to map out the roles your business needs and determine who you should hire next.Learn more about the Fit Biz Accelerator, where Christa helps business owners build, refine, and optimize their accountability charts, systems, and teams.Enrollment for the next cohort opens in December, with the program beginning January 2027.SEO Keywordswho to hire first, first business hire, boutique fitness hiring, Pilates studio hiring, physical therapy practice hiring, wellness business hiring, accountability chart, organizational chart, hiring employees, studio manager, operations manager, hiring an admin, hiring instructors, building a team, right person right seat, business delegation, studio owner, Fit Biz Accelerator, Christa Gurka, Female emPOWERed Podcast

As our hormones shift, so much in the body shifts with them. Sleep. Mood. Skin. And one of the most unexpected? Pain. Maybe it's a frozen shoulder that shows up out of nowhere. Maybe it's a knee that aches on the stairs for no reason. It can feel like your body flipped a switch overnight, and you're left wondering why you suddenly feel like the Tin Man.That's exactly what we dig into this week with returning guest Colleen Jorgensen. Colleen spent years being told her chronic pain was "all in her head." Then she survived a spinal cord compression that left her staring at the ceiling, unable to walk. She turned that experience into her Dare to Heal program, built to help people rewire their relationship to pain.In this episode, we get into why pain is real but not always accurate. Why tissues finish healing in 12 weeks, yet pain can stick around for years. And the tiny, under-a-minute nervous system practices that actually shift it. We also talk about why so many of us in midlife are disconnected from our body's signals in the first place. It has a lot to do with everything we're carrying that nobody else can see.In this episode we explore:Why pain is 100% real, but not the full story. Colleen's own story: years of being dismissed by doctors, and the injury that changed everything.The 30-second to 1-minute nervous system practices you can stack onto other habits.Why water is such a powerful tool for pain and regulation. The 360-degree freedom, the quiet, the way it pulls your brain out of "fix it" mode.How the invisible load we carry in midlife trains us to override our body's signals until pain has to get loud to be heard.Colleen Jorgensen is an Osteopath, a graduate of Pain Care U's Professional Pain Care program and a therapeutic Pilates, yoga and Somatics teacher. She combines manual therapy, current neuroscience research and the polyvagal theory with creative, embodied movement, mindfulness, awareness, and a distinctive, compassionate approach to pain care and movement. Resources:Join Colleen's free workshop, Unlearn Pain.

John 19:12 “As a result of this Pilate made efforts to release Him, but the Jews cried out saying, "If you release this Man, you are no friend of Caesar; everyone who makes himself out to be a king opposes Caesar." James, Jesus' brother, wrote, “Do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God” (James 4:4). Pilate was faced with a decision we all face. Will I be a friend of Jesus or a friend of the world? We can't be friends of both. We should not be surprised when the world threatens to cancel us if we are friends of Jesus and proclaim that He is God. He is the only way to be saved from the wrath to come. But if we love them, we must testify to Jesus, the Life. When the angel of the Lord released the apostles from jail he told them, "Go, stand and speak to the people in the temple the whole message of this Life” (Acts 5:20). May we be faithful friends of Jesus when the pressure is on. Acknowledgment: Music from “Carried by the Father” by Eric Terlizzi. www.ericterlizzi.com

Send us Fan MailCaroline Litman's memoir, Her Name is Alice, was one of my top reads of 2025. And so it feels like a real honour today to welcome Caroline herself to Bedside Reading to talk about her absolutely brilliant book.This is a memoir. It is about Caroline's life. She's a former doctor, turned Pilates teacher, turned writer and activist. And it is a book about her family.It's a book about her daughter, Alice, who died by suicide at the age of 20. It's a book about grief. And it's a book about identity and most particularly the fact that Alice was trans and the difficulties that Alice had in articulating this and then in receiving anything like appropriate care.There are so many lessons that we can learn from this book, and I feel really privileged that Caroline has chosen to come and join me today talk about it.It's a book I will never forget. it is absolutely brilliant, and I would thoroughly, thoroughly recommend it.The systematic review Caroline recommends is:Society for Evidence-Based Gender Medicine.

In this episode of Beloved & Blessed's women's Bible study, Kimberly Hahn unpacks the Third Sorrowful Mystery—Jesus's Crowning with Thorns. Taking up the story immediately after Jesus's scourging, Kimberly walks us through His crowning with thorns, Pilate's remark “Ecce Homo,” and the Jewish leaders' demand for crucifixion.

Your Pilates studio is growing. Classes are fuller, revenue is climbing, and new clients are walking through the door… so why does running your business somehow feel harder than before?

In this episode, we see that Pilate asks the crowd who they want released to them Jesus of Nazareth, or Jesus Barabbas. And we are encouraged to choose the Kingdom of God revealed in Jesus of Nazareth!

John 19:10-11 “So Pilate said to Him, ‘You do not speak to me? Do You not know that I have authority to release You, and I have authority to crucify You? Jesus answered, ‘You would have no authority over Me, unless it had been given you from above; for this reason he who delivered Me to you has the greater sin.'” Let's unpack this verse carefully because it could be confusing. Jesus recognized that God gave Pilate authority to crucify and therefore he, Pilate, has a responsibility to God. The fact that God had given Pilate authority to execute the death penalty was the reason the High Priest and the Jewish officials gave Jesus over to him. They didn't have that authority. For that reason the High Priest and Jewish officials committed a greater sin than Pilate in the death of Jesus. This truth didn't let Pilate off the hook so to speak, but it reveals that this execution took place under God's jurisdiction. God established government as a “minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil” (Rom. 13:4). So Pilate was sinning against God to punish Jesus, who he knew was innocent. But the High Priest has the responsibility to offer the atoning sacrifice for the sins of the people, and he was the one who delivered Jesus to Pilate proclaiming Him to be blemished and guilty. He knowingly offered to God what was in his mind a unacceptable offering. He is guilty of the greater sin. The reason we live to love with Jesus is the reality that everything we do is an offering of worship to God because we are priests serving in God's temple. Have we been guilty of great sin by offering to God actions and words that we know are unacceptable for His consumption? When we love, we know we offer that which is a fragrant aroma of Jesus.

Full Text of Readings Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross Lectionary: 638 The Saint of the day is Exaltation of the Holy Cross The Story of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross Early in the fourth century, Saint Helena, mother of the Roman Emperor Constantine, went to Jerusalem in search of the holy places of Christ's life. She razed the second-century Temple of Aphrodite, which tradition held was built over the Savior's tomb, and her son built the Basilica of the Holy Sepulcher on that spot. During the excavation, workers found three crosses. Legend has it that the one on which Jesus died was identified when its touch healed a dying woman. The cross immediately became an object of veneration. At a Good Friday celebration in Jerusalem toward the end of the fourth century, according to an eyewitness, the wood was taken out of its silver container and placed on a table together with the inscription Pilate ordered placed above Jesus' head: Then “all the people pass through one by one; all of them bow down, touching the cross and the inscription, first with their foreheads, then with their eyes; and, after kissing the cross, they move on.” To this day, the Eastern Churches, Catholic and Orthodox alike, celebrate the Exaltation of the Holy Cross on the September anniversary of the basilica's dedication. The feast entered the Western calendar in the seventh century after Emperor Heraclius recovered the cross from the Persians, who had carried it off in 614, 15 years earlier. According to the story, the emperor intended to carry the cross back into Jerusalem himself, but was unable to move forward until he took off his imperial garb and became a barefoot pilgrim. Reflection The cross is today the universal image of Christian belief. Countless generations of artists have turned it into a thing of beauty to be carried in procession or worn as jewelry. To the eyes of the first Christians, it had no beauty. It stood outside too many city walls, decorated only with decaying corpses, as a threat to anyone who defied Rome's authority—including Christians who refused sacrifice to Roman gods. Although believers spoke of the cross as the instrument of salvation, it seldom appeared in Christian art unless disguised as an anchor or the Chi-Rho until after Constantine's edict of toleration.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Welcome to another episode of LIFTS, where we explore the future of fitness, wellness and human performance. In this episode, hosts Matthew Januszek and Mohammed Iqbal are recorded live at the Life Fitness and Hammer Strength YMCA Innovation Summit, where they're joined by four YMCA leaders: Boyd Williams, Hodge Patterson, Crystal Trawick and Ernest Kaehler. The YMCA has been around for more than 180 years, yet it continues to operate in a fitness industry transformed by new technology, changing consumer expectations, boutique concepts, strength training, recovery and an increasingly sophisticated member. So how has it stayed relevant? Boyd Williams, CEO of YMCA of the Pikes Peak Region, explains why community remains the organisation's north star. While equipment, facilities and technology are important, he believes they are ultimately a conduit for building relationships, creating healthier lifestyles and making a lasting impact on people's lives. Hodge Patterson, Chief Executive Officer of Santa Monica Family YMCA, discusses why the YMCA has always been about much more than "gym and swim". From fitness and wellness to social responsibility and community programmes, he shares how the Y has become part of the social infrastructure of Santa Monica and why that role became particularly clear during the Palisades fire when members simply said, "Meet you at the Y." The conversation also looks at the business fundamentals required to sustain that mission. Hodge discusses the importance of creating value rather than relying on discounting, while Crystal Trawick, Vice President of Healthy Living at YMCA of Greater Charlotte, explains why "there is no mission if there's no margin." Crystal also shares how different YMCA locations are adapting to the specific needs of the communities they serve. That can mean recovery and Pilates reformer in one location and digital literacy programmes for older adults in another. She explains why innovation doesn't always need to be flashy or expensive and how AI can help remove administrative tasks, giving teams more time to focus on the member experience. Finally, Ernest Kaehler, Senior Operations Director at St. Paul Midway YMCA, discusses how younger generations are changing expectations of the gym floor. While boomers have traditionally been an important YMCA demographic, Gen Z members are increasingly looking for plate-loaded strength equipment, different layouts and a different training experience. Across four very different YMCA communities, one message remains consistent: staying relevant isn't about chasing every new fitness trend. It's about understanding your community, building relationships and continuing to evolve without losing sight of your purpose. In this episode, we cover: How the YMCA has remained relevant for generations Why community remains its north star Why relationships can transcend fitness trends How technology and AI can support rather than replace human connection Why every YMCA needs to reflect the community it serves How the YMCA is moving beyond the traditional perception of "gym and swim" Why creating value can be more powerful than discounting The importance of balancing mission with commercial sustainability How recovery, Pilates, HYROX and holistic health are changing member expectations Why Gen Z is changing the gym floor How social media is influencing younger members' training expectations What the wider fitness industry can learn from the YMCA's longevity Recorded at the Life Fitness & Hammer Strength YMCA Innovation Summit.

Send us Fan MailYour Pilates class numbers are low. Does that mean you're doing something wrong?Not necessarily.Class attendance is influenced by plenty of things outside a teacher's control: the time slot, class format, pricing, seasonality, studio marketing and how long the class has been on the schedule. But there are also things we can influence as teachers.In this episode, Hannah and Christian share 10 concrete things Pilates and movement teachers can do to help build classes people want to return to. We talk about the client experience, building relationships, programming, consistency, teaching both beginners and regulars, and understanding what your attendance numbers are actually telling you.We also look at this from the studio owner's perspective. When a class is struggling, how do you know whether you have a teaching problem, a scheduling problem, a marketing problem—or a class that simply needs more time?Instead of only asking, “Why aren't people coming?”Maybe the better question is: “Why would someone choose to come back?”

In this episode, we see that Jesus tell Pilate his Kingdom is not of this world!

Matthew Week 153     Luke 23:20-22 ESV   22 A third time he said to them, "Why? What evil has he done? I have found in him no guilt deserving death. I will therefore punish and release him."       John 19:1 ESV   Then Pilate took Jesus and flogged him.       Matthew 27:27-30 ESV   Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the governor's headquarters, and they gathered the whole battalion before him. 28 And they stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, 29 and twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on his head and put a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before him, they mocked him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" 30 And they spit on him and took the reed and struck him on the head.             John 19:4-5 ESV   4 Pilate went out again and said to them, "See, I am bringing him out to you that you may know that I find no guilt in him." 5 So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, "Behold the man!"       John 19:6a ESV   6 When the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, "Crucify him, crucify him!"       Matthew 27:24-26 ESV   24 So when Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing, but rather that a riot was beginning, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this man's blood; see to it yourselves." 25 And all the people answered, "His blood be on us and on our children!" 26 Then he released for them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him to be crucified.       Deuteronomy 21:6-8 ESV   6 And all the elders of that city nearest to the slain man shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley, 7 and they shall testify, 'Our hands did not shed this blood, nor did our eyes see it shed.8 Accept atonement, O Lord, for your people Israel, whom you have redeemed, and do not set the guilt of innocent blood in the midst of your people Israel, so that their blood guilt be atoned for.'       Genesis 9:6 ESV   6 "Whoever sheds the blood of man,   by man shall his blood be shed,   for God made man in his own image.       Psalm 26:6-7 ESV   I wash my hands in innocence   and go around your altar, O Lord,   7 proclaiming thanksgiving aloud,   and telling all your wondrous deeds.       John 19:11 ESV   11 Jesus answered him, "You would have no authority over me at all unless it had been given you from above. Therefore he who delivered me over to you has the greater sin."       John 19:16-17a ESV   16 So he delivered him over to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus, 17 and he went out, bearing his own cross       Matthew 27:32 ESV (with Mark 15 and Luke 23)   32 As they went out, they found {luke they seized} a man of Cyrene, Simon by name. {mark and luke who was coming in from the country}, {mark the father of Alexander and Rufus} They compelled this man to carry his cross. {luke They laid on him the cross, to carry it behind Jesus}     Acts 2:8-10 ESV   8 And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language? 9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome       Acts 11:19-21 ESV   19 Now those who were scattered because of the persecution that arose over Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except Jews. 20 But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who on coming to Antioch spoke to the Hellenists also, preaching the Lord Jesus. 21 And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number who believed turned to the Lord.       Romans 16:13 ESV   13 Greet Rufus, chosen in the Lord; also his mother, who has been a mother to me as well.    

John 19:9 “And he entered into the Praetorium again and said to Jesus, ‘Where are You from?' But Jesus gave him no answer.” So it helps to see what's happening. It appears that Jesus was brought out of the Praetorium and presented to the Jews. Then upon hearing that He might be the Son of God, Pilate took Him back into the Praetorium to question Jesus along that line. He asks Jesus a great question, “Where are you from?” That is the right question when considering the claims of Christ. If He's from Nazareth, then no biggie. But maybe Pilate remembered that Jesus said His kingdom was not of this world and he thought he should double check. Fear of offending God should cause us to double check ourselves. In this verse we see that Jesus didn't immediately answer Pilate's inquiry, so we will wait for the rest of the story. But for now let us ask ourselves this same great question. If Jesus is from God, shouldn't it change everything in our lives? If Pilate could have this moment back to do over, I think we would see him fall on his face before Jesus and say, “Have mercy on me, the greatest sinner, dear Son of God. I'm so sorry for what I have done. Forgive me!” What about us? We have this moment. We are seeing that God is love, and that love is the sustained direction of the will toward our highest good no matter what the cost. Have we fallen prostrate before Him and confessed our sorrow for what we have done to Him? If not, do we really know where He is from? And if we do know that He is from God in heaven, shouldn't we trust Him who has sent and sacrificed His Son for us? Shouldn't we surrender all to Him who surrendered all for us? And shouldn't we understand that we are not of this world, but are sons and daughters of God, sent into this world by God to live to love with Jesus as He lived to love with His Father?

Pilate Delivers Jesus to Be Crucified 24 So when Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing, but rather that a riot was beginning, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of this man’s blood;[a] see to it yourselves.” 25 And all the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!” 26 Then he released for them […]

James Hurlock went from professional rugby to founding Fitura Brands, the multi-concept franchise platform behind Padel SWT, Core Precinct, and ContrasTheory. He explains why he's betting on three categories at once — and why he's deliberately taking the slow, expensive route to franchising.James Hurlock is the Founder and CEO of Fitura Brands, a Utah-based wellness holding company that launched in 2026 at a $20 million pre-money valuation. Before founding Fitura, Hurlock served as founding CEO of FS8, Chief Partnerships Officer at F45 Training, and Chief Brand Officer at The Picklr, where he helped grow the indoor pickleball franchise to roughly 70 locations across the US and abroad. In this conversation, he breaks down Fitura's three concepts — Padel SWT (big-box indoor padel), Core Precinct (hybrid reformer Pilates), and ContrasTheory (guided contrast recovery) — and shares why Fitura spent 12 months building infrastructure before selling a single franchise.James Hurlock, Founder and CEO of Fitura Brands, previously held leadership roles at F45 Training, FS8, and The Picklr, and played professional rugby for Northampton Saints Academy and London Saracens before captaining England Schoolboys.Get Eric's weekly industry newsletter: https://futureoffitness.co Watch full episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@futureofofitnesspod

John 19:7-8 “The Jews answered him, ‘We have a law, and by that law He ought to die because He made Himself out to be the Son of God.' Therefore when Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid;” Have you ever had an “oops” moment? That's a time when you got new information that you wish you had heard before you did something you wish you hadn't done? Pilate didn't have a problem executing a man pretending to be a king, but it certainly must have caused him to rethink what he had done if indeed this man was the, not a, but THE son of God. That would be a big oops. I've felt that way about my sin against Jesus, have you? King David confessed to God, “Against You, and against You only, have I sinned.” Oops! I need to rethink who I've sinned against like Pilate did that day. You notice John said Pilate was “even more afraid.” That means he was already afraid. Thinking about what he had done to Jesus in light of this knowledge increased his fear. It should have the same affect upon us if we stop and think about our sin and see it rightly. Holy Spirit, fill us with a fear of sinning against You, our Father, and His beloved Son. Acknowledgment: Music from “Carried by the Father” by Eric Terlizzi. www.ericterlizzi.com

John 19:6 “So when the chief priests and the officers saw Him, they cried out saying, ‘Crucify, crucify!' Pilate said to them, ‘Take Him yourselves and crucify Him, for I find no guilt in Him.'" Again we see Pilate trying to wiggle out of the guilt of executing an innocent man. It wasn't that he had any mercy, empathy, or sympathy for Jesus. “Take Him yourselves and crucify Him,” he said. He didn't want to be responsible for His death. How about us? According to Isaiah, we are responsible. It was our sins that fell upon Him. Isaiah 53:5-6 “But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, and by His scourging we are healed. All of us like sheep have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; but the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all to fall on Him.” Behold the man. To live to love with Jesus means we will have to die daily. May God give us grace to bear the weight and consequences of other's iniquities, sins, and hostilities. When we must be crushed for another's wellbeing may His comfort and peace reign as it did in Jesus when Pilate presented Him to the Jews. Jesus, manifest Your glory through our lives today.

Wat heb jij zoal meegekregen over kolonialisme? Tijdens onze middelbare schooltijd was het vooral van ‘Jeetje, dat kleine landje van ons was going places, hè?! En wat een geld leverde het op! Specerijen, VOC, de GOUDEN EEUW! PS: Oja, soms was het ook wat minder toppie, slavernij enzo, maar daar hoeven we het niet écht meer over te hebben want het is Vet Lang Geleden allemaal, je moet door, groetjes’. Maar moet je door? Of is het misschien-wellicht-eventueel een goed idee om stil te staan bij de sporen die het koloniale verleden heeft achtergelaten? Hoe het witte superioriteitsdenken nog steeds onderdeel is van de Nederlandse maatschappij? Hoe het kolonialisme ons allemaal beïnvloedt? En als je hier eenmaal bij stilstaat, is de conclusie dan niet: we zitten niet in een postkoloniale tijd, er is sprake van een koloniaal heden?Madhavi Jeane en Tamara Hartman schreven het boek Het Koloniale Heden waarin ze de Hindostaanse gemeenschap als casestudy gebruiken om onderdrukkende systemen te bevragen. Hoe beïnvloedt kolonialisme (en het samenhangende kapitalisme en het patriarchaat) deze gemeenschap? En breder: hoe beïnvloedt het de Nederlandse samenleving als geheel? Het antwoord is: OP VEEL MANIEREN. Maar gelukkig zeggen Madhavi en Tamara ook: de systemen zijn man-made, dus het kannn anders. Verzet is er altijd geweest!Verder: post van een luisteraar over een kind op de wereld zetten in tijden van de klimaatcrisis.

John 19:5 “Jesus then came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, ‘Behold, the Man!'" Yes, let's behold the God-man, Jesus. Perhaps Pilate thought that once they saw how much Jesus had suffered their thirst for His blood would be satiated. But as we will read tomorrow, they were not. What did they see as they beheld the man? Isaiah, the prophet, told us. Isaiah 53:4 …Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. Isaiah 53:8 …And as for His generation, who considered that He was cut off out of the land of the living for the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke was due? No, as they beheld the man, beaten beyond recognition and dressed in mocked kingly attire, they did not know they were looking at the holy lamb of God. But we do. As we behold the man, we see the love of God in flesh appearing. We see our death to sin and this world initiated, we see our glorious savior bearing our sins. Behold the love of God, and may we walk in humility as He did and love others with an “all out love.” Acknowledgment: Music from “Carried by the Father” by Eric Terlizzi. www.ericterlizzi.com

In this episode, Sarah and Vanessa discuss a little about their Pilates class earlier that morning that leads them all into a discussion about the lessons you learn when you "sit in the shake." In Pilates, the muscles get built in that uncomfortable moment when your experiencing muscle failure and your body starts to shake. Julie expresses how when we were young, we weren't able to get immediate answers to anything, and how her kids are experiencing the exact opposite. The conversation turns into what happens long-term when we avoid discomfort instead of sitting in it. Get your Chatbooks started now!

#338 In Part 2, Sara Kooperman shares the leadership lessons she learned while building a large fitness business and managing a long-term team. She explains why hiring slowly, setting clear expectations, and correcting mistakes are essential to building a healthy culture. Sara also shares how she learned to take ownership, create psychological safety, and recognize when her own energy or mood could affect a difficult conversation. In this episode, Sara discusses: Why leaders should aim for respect, not universal approval How to spot red flags during hiring and onboarding Why communication skills matter from the very first email How staff feedback can reveal problems an owner may not see The difference between accountability and creating fear Why leaders need to admit their own mistakes How "learnings" can turn mistakes into better systems The importance of matching your leadership style to each employee How to know when you are not in the right state of mind for a difficult conversation Why one genuine compliment can strengthen team culture How personal fitness and downtime help leaders stay effective Why asking front-line employees for their opinions can improve decisions What Sara is building next in the fitness and Pilates space Key takeaway A strong culture does not come from avoiding mistakes or trying to make everyone happy. It comes from clear standards, honest communication, accountability, and creating enough trust for people to learn when things go wrong.

There's a debate in the manual therapy world about which is better: talking or staying silent during a session. But neither approach, when done on autopilot, actually helps a client in pain. In this episode of The Rebel MT, Allison breaks down how effective communication can change the game and why the words you choose are key, not only to your client's healing but also to your confidence as a practitioner.

And I am not your typical massage therapist. After 20 years of experience and thousands of clients, I have learned that massage therapy is SO MUCH more than a relaxing experience at a spa. I see soft tissue as more than merely a physical element but a deeply complex, neurologically driven part of who you are. I use this knowledge to work WITH you—not ON you—to create change that works. This is the basis of my approach. As a massage therapist, I have worked in almost every capacity, including massage clinics, physical therapy clinics, chiropractor offices, spas, private practice, and teaching. I have learned incredible techniques and strategies from each of my experiences. In my 20 years as a massage therapist, I have never stopped growing. I currently have a private practice based out of Long Beach, California, where I also teach continuing education classes and occasionally work on my kids.

What decision have you been putting off in your business?Maybe it's raising your prices. Maybe it's addressing an underperforming team member, enforcing a boundary, changing your schedule, or finally letting someone go.In this episode of the Female emPOWERed Podcast, Christa Gurka gets into one of the most expensive habits business owners have: avoidance.Drawing from her own experiences growing Pilates in the Grove, Christa explains how avoiding uncomfortable decisions can quietly cost your business thousands of dollars, damage your team culture, consume your time, and keep you stuck in the day-to-day operations of your business.She also shares a practical framework for making difficult decisions faster—without waiting until the problem becomes even more expensive or complicated.In This Episode, You'll Learn:The four areas where business owners are most likely to avoid difficult decisionsWhy “I'm too busy” can actually be avoidance in disguiseHow avoiding pricing conversations can cost your business five or even six figuresWhy tolerating an underperforming or toxic team member impacts your entire company cultureThe difference between setting a boundary and actually holding itWhy doing someone else's job instead of holding them accountable isn't good leadershipHow avoidance can slowly erode your confidence as a CEOWhy waiting rarely makes a difficult conversation easierA simple decision-making framework for tackling the issues you've been putting offThe Decision-Making FrameworkWhen you find yourself avoiding a decision, Christa recommends asking:Does this make my business more or less profitable?Does this create more simplicity or more complexity?Is this using my best hours and my best people wisely?Twelve months from now, will this decision move me closer to my goals or farther away?The goal isn't to eliminate the discomfort that comes with difficult conversations. It's to become the kind of leader who can feel that discomfort and make the right decision anyway.Key TakeawayAvoidance rarely makes a business problem disappear. More often, it makes the eventual decision more expensive, more uncomfortable, and more complicated.The conversation you're avoiding today could be exactly the conversation your business needs in order to grow.Choose one decision you've been avoiding and commit to addressing it within the next 30 days.Connect with ChristaFollow Christa on Instagram at @christagurka and send her a DM to share the business decision or conversation you've been avoiding.

21:17 How often is the lamp of the wicked put out,- Bildad affirmed that the lamp of the wicked is put out in 18:5. The book of Proverbs stresses this as well (Prov. 13:9; 20:20; 24:20). The text of Proverbs 24:19-20 says, “Do not fret because of evil people or be envious of wicked people, for the evil person has no future, and the lamp of the wicked will be extinguished.” (NET) The emphasis on the fall of the wicked by Bildad fits with Proverbs.  Job does not deny this ever happens, but he does question how often it happens. The occurrence of the lamp of the wicked being put out happens too infrequently to be said to be an established pattern. Or does their calamity fall on them? The word calamity, 'ed is used in vs. 30 and it was used by Bildad in 18:12 to say that calamity is ready for the wicked. In Proverbs 1:27; 6:15; and 24:22 this word describes the consequences of sin upon the wicked. But, Job asks, how often does calamity fall on the wicked for their sin?Does God apportion destruction in His anger? The verb apportion, chalaq, can mean divide, distribute, allot. The noun form of this word was used by Zophar in 20:29 to speak of the wicked man's portion from God. The word anger, aph, was used in 20:23, 28 by Zophar to speak of God's judgments on the wicked. Job is using Zophar's words, but Job is questioning how frequently they come true. Job's says the friends' argument cannot be maintained when looking at the real world. 21:18 Are they as straw before the wind,- Straw speaks of what is weak in Job 41:27 and what is worthless in Jeremiah 23:28.And like chaff which the storm carries away? Psalm 1:4; 35:5; Isa. 17:13; 29:5; Jer. 13:24; Hos. 13:3 use this image of chaff. Chaff is the remains left behind of the straw after threshing. These verses tell us the wicked are like the chaff that the wind blows away. Psalm 1 contrasts the righteous as a well-rooted tree to the wicked who are as insubstantial and rootless as chaff. Job questions this portrayal. Is Job questioning these God inspired pictures? Job is questioning whether we always see the outworking of these principles in this life. Job as a righteous man felt like he was a driven leaf and dry chaff in 13:25. Many people who live wicked lives are thriving. Even this very picture calls to mind the end of Job's children from 1:18-19 who were killed by a great wind.21:19-20 Job predicts the friends' will answer his argument about times God has not repaid evil with answers like He will repay their children. Job says that is not fair. It is not fair that the father sins and the children pay the price. Jesus' suffering is spoken of as drinking God's cup in Matt. 26:39; Mark 14:36. Jesus did not suffer this penalty because of any sin or wrongdoing of His own (I Peter 2:22; I John 3:5, 8). It is striking how many characters around the cross affirm the innocence of Jesus: Pilate (Luke 23:4, 14, 22; John 18:38; 19:4, 6), Herod (Luke 23:14), Pilate's wife (Matt. 27:19), Judas (Matt. 27:4), the thief (Luke 23:40-41), the centurion (Luke 23:47). Jesus was not on the cross for what He did but for what He did. It is not fair that we sinned, and Jesus paid the price. It is not fair, but it is amazing grace.  21:32 Others keep watch over the rich man's tomb to honor. Watch was kept over Jesus' tomb to make sure the disciples did not steal the body (Matt. 27:62-66). That watch failed. “Death cannot keep its prey, Jesus my Savior, He tore the bars away, Jesus my Lord.”

Why do Christians celebrate a death? Dr. John examines the three extraordinary events surrounding Jesus's final moments — the supernatural darkness, the torn temple curtain, and his last words entrusting his spirit to the Father — along with the reactions of those who witnessed it. It's a powerful look at how the cross transforms a place once forbidden to sinners into an open invitation to draw near to God.The End of the Beginning: Everyone knows how this story ends — Jesus is crucified, buried, and rises again. But in this 15-part series through Luke 23-24, Dr. John Neufeld shows why these familiar chapters still reward careful study, tracing the trials before Pilate and Herod and the road to the cross. Along the way, he uncovers details unique to Luke's account that reveal what kind of King Jesus truly is.

If you've ever felt like your body suddenly stopped responding to the diets and exercise routines that once worked, this episode is for you.On this episode of the Wise Divine Women Podcast, Dana Irvine sits down with Debbie Harris, integrative nutrition health coach, certified hypnotist, author, and creator of the Balanced Warrior approach, for an honest conversation about why dieting can feel so frustrating for women over 40.After more than five decades of dieting herself, Debbie knows the cycle of losing weight, regaining it, feeling frustrated, blaming yourself, and wondering why you don't have enough willpower. Her message is simple: you are not the problem. Diet culture has failed women.As hormones shift through perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause, our bodies require a different approach. Debbie explains why cortisol, insulin, estrogen, stress, sleep, hydration, movement, mindset, and our lifelong relationship with food all matter.Instead of another restrictive diet, Debbie encourages women to focus on balance, awareness, and becoming a “freedom eater”—learning how your unique body responds to food so you can nourish yourself well most of the time while still enjoying life.In This Episode, We DiscussWhy traditional diet culture often fails women over 40How hormonal changes can influence body composition and abdominal weightThe connection between cortisol, stress, insulin, and estrogenWhy guilt, shame, and “lack of willpower” are not the answerDebbie's first 30-day Balanced Warrior approachWhy walking, Pilates, yoga, barre, Tai Chi, and restorative movement may support this season of lifeHydration and why Debbie considers water foundationalUnderstanding your individual response to different foodsThe difference between dieting and freedom eatingWhy mindset must be addressed alongside nutritionGLP-1 medications and weight-loss surgery—and the importance of asking, “What happens next?”Intermittent fasting and why it isn't right for everyone Connect With Debbie HarrisFreedom Eater, Bestselling Author, Founder of the https://30tolife.org/, a proprietary solution for women 45-60 to elevate their health, release excess weight, minimize menopause symptoms, and become Freedom Eaters."Dieting Sucks for Women Over 40 - 30 to Life:  The Ultimate Weight Loss and Hormone Balancing Solution". GET YOUR COPY NOW!Ready to Better Understand Your Own Body?Your body isn't asking you for another punishment-based diet.

In this episode of The Pilates Business Podcast, host Seran Glanfield reveals the hidden signs of client churn most boutique fitness studio owners miss entirely. Clients rarely quit a Pilates studio in one dramatic moment. They quit emotionally, weeks or even months before they ever cancel, and by the time the numbers move, the decision was already made. Seran breaks down why competition is rarely the real reason clients leave, how consumer behavior in boutique fitness is driven by identity rather than transactions, and why identity-based retention will always outlast motivation-based retention. If your classes still look full but something feels off, this episode will help you catch the disconnection early. Learn more about Thrive at www.springthree.com/thrive.Got a question for Seran?

Disney merchandise is changing fast, and this week Jim Hill and Lauren Hersey dig into the trends coming out of D23, from bag charms and high-end collectibles to the rise of "quiet luxury" fandom. They also look at the frustration surrounding supposedly special D23 merchandise appearing on DisneyStore.com almost immediately after the event. Then the conversation shifts to World Princess Week, where Disney is pushing its princess brands into fitness, jewelry, fashion, and other lifestyle categories aimed squarely at grown-up fans. NEWS • Disney's next limited-time pop-up store heads to Paramus, New Jersey, following the crowds and long lines seen in Pittsburgh. • Licensing industry observers see Disney moving beyond character T-shirts toward bag charms, premium collectibles, home decor, publishing, and understated "quiet luxury" merchandise. • Limited-edition D23 collectibles continue to command huge demand - and eye-popping prices on the secondary market. • Fans question the value of D23 merchandise access after many convention items appeared on DisneyStore.com just one day after the event. • Disney continues expanding major brand collaborations, with new collections tied to Vera Bradley, Loungefly, Crocs, ColourPop, Pandora, and more. • World Princess Week's "Create Your World" campaign pushes Disney Princess into lifestyle categories built around confidence, personal interests, and self-expression. • Disney partners with Peloton on a princess-inspired Pilates class while Crowned Athletics brings princess branding into fitness apparel. • Pandora expands the franchise into higher-end jewelry with a Disney Princess lab-grown diamond collection featuring Tiana, Jasmine, Moana, and Snow White. • Jim and Lauren look ahead to how projects including live-action Tangled and Frozen 3 could fuel the next wave of Disney Princess merchandise.
