What if falling asleep has less to do with forcing your mind to be quiet, and more to do with giving it a gentle place to land? In this deeply calming conversation, Darin sits down with author, meditation teacher, and creator of the wildly successful Nothing Much Happens sleep podcast, Kathryn Nicolai. With more than 200 million downloads, Kathryn has helped millions of people quiet anxious minds, overcome insomnia, and rediscover rest through the ancient power of storytelling. Together they explore the neuroscience of storytelling, why our brains crave safe narratives before sleep, the role of the Default Mode Network in anxiety, how sensory-rich stories calm the nervous system, and why creating inner safety may be one of the most powerful wellness practices available. Kathryn also shares the moving personal story that inspired her to finally pursue her lifelong dream of becoming a writer after the death of a close friend, and how that decision changed millions of lives. This conversation is a beautiful reminder that healing doesn't always come through doing more, it often begins by feeling safe enough to simply rest. What You'll Learn Why storytelling naturally calms the nervous system How Nothing Much Happens grew into a global sleep phenomenon The neuroscience behind sensory-rich storytelling Why anxious minds need a "safe job" before sleep How bedtime stories shift the brain out of the Default Mode Network The connection between storytelling, meditation, and nervous system regulation Why creativity begins with feeling psychologically safe Kathryn's powerful story of pursuing her dream after losing a close friend How beginner's mind and play unlock creativity Why perfectionism keeps people from living fully How restorative storytelling helps trauma survivors feel safe Why cultivating internal safety transforms every area of life Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:33 – Sponsor: Alchemist Paint and creating healthier homes 00:03:25 – Introducing Kathryn Nicolai 00:04:04 – The neuroscience of sleep and storytelling 00:05:27 – Kathryn's journey from yoga teacher to sleep pioneer 00:06:37 – Learning to soothe herself through bedtime stories 00:07:51 – Launching Nothing Much Happens 00:08:35 – Why storytelling became a universal sleep solution 00:09:22 – Stories as tools for healing and transformation 00:10:20 – Why storytelling is ancient medicine 00:11:08 – Community, connection, and feeling safe 00:12:30 – Why podcasts satisfy our need for human connection 00:13:19 – How success transformed Kathryn's creativity 00:14:07 – The dying friend's message that changed her life forever 00:15:40 – Discovering confidence through creative practice 00:17:02 – Why fear keeps us from pursuing our dreams 00:18:18 – Millions of lives changed through one bold decision 00:19:32 – New creative projects and expanding the vision 00:20:23 – Writing On the Street Where You Live 00:21:35 – Sponsor: Shakeology 00:23:22 – Technology, phones, and meeting people where they are 00:24:19 – Building a community through storytelling 00:25:04 – Why play may be the shortest path to transformation 00:26:59 – What true psychological safety really means 00:28:23 – Creating stories where everyone belongs 00:29:30 – Cultivating internal safety instead of waiting for it 00:30:47 – Restorative witnessing and rewriting old narratives 00:31:48 – Planting hopeful stories into the subconscious 00:32:31 – Powerful listener stories and healing through sleep 00:33:38 – Helping children, trauma survivors, and hospice patients 00:35:15 – Letting go of perfectionism 00:36:34 – Why comparison steals joy 00:38:07 – The trap of endless self-optimization 00:39:17 – Beginner's mind and giving yourself permission to try 00:41:03 – Escaping subconscious programming 00:42:34 – Dreaming bigger than you've ever dreamed before 00:44:15 – Why Kathryn became passionate about sleep 00:47:05 – Creating a softer place for the human mind 00:48:26 – Finding the gap—and having the courage to fill it 00:50:19 – The role Kathryn's parents played in building confidence 00:53:04 – Designing stories that naturally quiet the mind 00:55:11 – Why sensory details help us become present 00:56:20 – Safety, tears, and nervous system release 00:57:20 – Speaking the language of the body 00:58:03 – The future of Nothing Much Happens 01:00:07 – Helping people reconnect through storytelling 01:02:49 – Meditation, observation, and calming the mind 01:04:13 – New books, the upcoming app, and final reflections 01:05:05 – Closing thoughts Thank You to Our Sponsors: Shakeology: Get 15% off with code DARINO1BODI at Shakeology.com.

Through storytelling, imagination, sensory awareness, and gentle presence, we can interrupt anxious thought loops, cultivate inner safety, and reconnect with the creativity, peace, and wonder that have always lived within us. Sometimes the most profound healing begins not by doing more, but by allowing ourselves to simply be."

We mark a major milestone with our 100th episode by stepping back to look at where the vineyard industry has been and where it's headed next. Fritz walks us through what's in, what's out, and what's coming for growers who want to stay profitable and resilient. We start with the changing economics of grape growing. Planting Cab, Merlot, or Syrah on speculation no longer pencils out in an oversupplied market. Instead, we focus on matching varieties to region, climate (including future climate), water availability, disease pressure, and a clearly defined sales channel.  From there, we connect vineyard design to labor and equipment realities. We move away from high‑input, labor‑intensive layouts and toward simpler, mechanization‑friendly systems that can eventually support autonomous tools.  We then turn to the vineyard floor, moving from bare soil and blanket herbicide programs to living systems built around cover crops, reduced tillage, and grazing with sheep. By the end, we have a clear picture of the practices that are fading, the ones gaining momentum, and the directions we can embrace to stay ahead in the next decade of grape growing.  We look forward to the next 100 episodes! In this episode, you will hear: Planting on speculation is out; committed buyers and clear sales channels are in Variety selection must fit climate, water, disease pressure, and market identity High-input, labor-intensive designs are giving way to mechanization‑friendly trellis systems and layouts Soil and irrigation should be managed as one integrated system Living vineyard floors are key to long‑term soil health Follow and Review: If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to follow the podcast and leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts!

It's easy to present a curated version of our lives. We often go through the motions, aiming our devotion at worldly idols and missing the profound grace given to those who stop pretending. In this sermon, we explore Psalm 78 and how being ruthlessly realistic about our hearts and lives is the only way to experience the relentless mercy and transforming grace of God.

  Do you believe in resurrections?  They happen every day.  But are you willing to listen, to participate, to explore and find newer ways to understand your personal journey? This podcast isn't about what we study and see through the eyes of religion. My Boy Boy Ernie spoke with me every chance we had together.  But this isn't about resurrecting a spiritual brother of nearly 34 years.  This resurrection is that of a writing instrument. Verbal documentation of what some may call a vision quest.  Trusting the great mysteries of life.  Tools are handed to us to carve out each expectation.  This tool was laid to rest inside a forest floor.  To experience the elements of reality while connecting with a universe that unconditionally shares its stories.  But whose writing it?  Welcome to The Resurrection…   Close:    The Resurrection is a true story.  Learn more about this forest and My Boy Boy Ernie on Arroe.net.  His story, journey and new path with a writing instrument are available on the podcast The Lyrics From Ernie's Forest. Future episodes of this podcast will focus on the transition of materialistic value to that of an authentic storyteller.  The ice storms, a record setting 11 inches of snow, the fear of walking to the grave site to find nothing. The Resurrection.  Faith, hope, forgiveness and discovery. What lessons will the writing instrument bring back to the surface of walking forward?  Let it rise above our tears.  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

It's easy to look at the summer garden and think the best days are behind you. The tomatoes are slowing down. The heat is settling in. Some beds are thriving while others are looking tired. You may even be dreaming about fall and telling yourself that you'll deal with the garden later. But here's the truth: The September garden you want is being built right now. In this episode, we're talking about the decisions that shape your garden's future. Because September doesn't magically arrive with a productive, beautiful garden waiting for you. The harvests, flowers, herbs, healthy soil, and cool-season success you're hoping for all begin with the choices you make today. Whether your beds need a refresh, a replant, or a complete reset, this episode will help you stop focusing on what's ending and start focusing on what's possible. In This Episode You'll Learn: Why waiting until fall may be costing you the garden you really want The three decisions every garden bed needs right now: Refresh, Replant, or Reset How to create a vision for your September garden before making summer decisions What crops are still thriving and producing during the Do-Over Season Heat-loving vegetables, herbs, and flowers you can still plant now Why momentum matters more than perfection when it comes to gardening success How today's choices impact your fall harvests Resources Mentioned In This Episode: Download the June Garden To Table Guide for the lists I went over today and more of what we are planting, picking, and serving on our table this month!

In this fourth session of Planting Life, Porter Swentzell of Santa Clara Pueblo — historian, anthropologist, and executive director of Hapo Community School — brings a thoughtful and generous account of what it means to reclaim education on indigenous terms. At the heart of his talk is a clear distinction: “Education is something we do inherently as human beings that never ends. Source

In this opening session of Planting Life, Roshi Joan Halifax, Wendy Johnson, and Alonso Mendez gather the community around a single, urgent call: to put our hands into the earth and “give life to life.” Wendy brings the teaching down to its most elemental — the seed splitting, root reaching down, shoot reaching up — and names corn, rice, and barley not as crops but as relatives… Source

In this third session of Planting Life, Roxanne Swentzell of Santa Clara Pueblo — sculptor, farmer, and founder of Flowering Tree Permaculture Institute — offers a quiet and generous tour of Pueblo agricultural knowledge. Speaking at her first public appearance since a serious accident, Roxanne moves through the ancestral farming methods her people developed for one of the harshest growing… Source

In this fifth session of Planting Life, Roshi Joan Halifax gathers the community around Wendell Berry's poem “The Person Born to Farming” — reading it aloud, line by line, drawing participants into its imagery of soil as divine drug, of entering death yearly and coming back rejoicing. The poem becomes a lens for the day's planting, and a doorway into the concept of sympoiesis — the understanding… Source

In the second session of Planting Life, following the morning's planting ceremony, Beata Tsosie of Santa Clara Pueblo brings her decades of environmental justice work to bear. Drawing on her work with Tewa Women United and the Food and Seed Sovereignty Alliance, Beata maps the layered environmental violence of the Greater Tewa Basin — nuclear contamination from Los Alamos… Source

In this episode of The Church Planting Podcast, Greg Nettle sits down with church planter, coach, and author Marc Lucenius, lead pastor of 938 Church in West Chester, Pennsylvania. Marc recently released his new book, Rest for the Restless, a practical and deeply personal exploration of how leaders can sustain healthy ministry without sacrificing their souls. Marc shares the story of planting 938 Church with Stadia Church Planting, navigating the challenges of launching a church just before the pandemic, and leading through the uncertainty that followed. Along the way, he learned firsthand the dangers of burnout, resentment, self-pity, and the relentless pressure many church leaders place on themselves. Drawing from his own experiences and years of ministry leadership, Marc unpacks the biblical principle of Sabbath—not simply as a day off, but as a way of life rooted in trust, enjoyment, and freedom. He challenges the common assumption that productivity and spiritual maturity are the same thing and offers a healthier vision of leadership that flows from rest rather than striving. Greg and Marc also discuss how our personal stories shape our relationship with work, achievement, and ministry. They explore practical ways leaders can embrace rhythms of rest, cultivate meaningful friendships, process emotional wounds, and avoid the subtle traps of burnout. The conversation concludes with a powerful reminder that sustainable ministry isn't about slowing down ambition—it's about learning to live and lead from a place of wholeness, trust, and joy in what God has already accomplished.

Morning Mantra: "Everything you are doing now is like planting the seeds for your future."   Sometimes it feels like all the work you do to better yourself, and your relationships, doesn't amount to much. But those seeds will one day bloom; in your soul, and in the hearts of others.  Whatever you feed will grow; faith or fear,confidence or worry,belief or doubt,love or indifference.The harvest of happiness can grow from one little seed; a new approach, a kind gesture, a positive thought, or a simple change in focus.Just keep planting your seeds and watering your garden then watch what grows.#BeTheGardenerOfYourSoul  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #Horsehippie #InspirationalQuotes

Lawns teach us to chase control, but a rebel garden is about building a living system that gets better every season. We walk through a practical, homeowner-friendly roadmap for turning turf into a native plant garden that supports pollinators, songbirds, and healthier soil without getting trapped in analysis paralysis. If you've been staring at a blank patch of grass wondering where to start, we'll help you move from ideas to installation. We start with soil, and why you don't need to obsess over lab-perfect conditions before you plant. Native plants are tougher and more adaptable than most people expect, and a thin layer of compost or topsoil can be enough to help young plugs establish. From there, the real secret is planting density: instead of isolated “specimens” with mulch gaps, we aim for a plant community, often around one plant per square foot, using grasses, sedges, and flowering natives to shade soil, suppress weeds, and create habitat. We also get specific about what makes a garden look good beyond one short bloom window. You'll hear how to think in seasons, stagger bloom times, keep winter seed heads for birds, and use a simple mulch strategy that signals the bed is intentional while protecting new plants during establishment. We close with realistic expectations for year one care, plus details on the Rebel Garden Challenge if you want step-by-step guidance and a community doing it alongside you. Subscribe, share with a neighbor who hates mowing, and leave a review with the first lawn patch you want to reclaim.The Challenge begins Friday, June 19 --> A Rebel Garden in Ten DaysPrairie Up by Benjamin VogtLearn more about getting your own Rebel Garden at ABetterYard.org.

Show NotesThe Pastorate ConferenceGive to our $30,000 June Match CampaignMark Clark's WebsiteVillage Church WebsiteBayside Church WebsiteThe Mark Clark PodcastThe Problem of Life by Mark ClarkThe Pastorate's City MeetupsThe Pastorate Pastors RetreatEpisode DescriptionIn today's conversation, Jason sits down with Mark Clark, the pastor who planted Village Church in British Columbia, and now the Global Senior Pastor at Bayside Church in California. Mark's story includes an atheist upbringing in Ontario, a late-teen conversion, a dream of becoming an academic at Oxford, and a call to plant a church in one of the most secular corners of North America. What began with sixteen people in his living room grew into one of the fastest-growing churches in Canada, and Mark reflects with both gratitude and candor on the road that took him there.Jason and Mark talk about the patience that shaped their early ministry years, waiting for the right time, the right people, and the right season to plant churches. Mark opens up his convictions around preaching, describing how he learned to speak to the skeptic and the lifelong believer in the same room, and why he refuses to choose between reaching the lost and discipling the found. He's also honest about the cost of leading through rapid growth, including the burnout seasons that left him preaching dizzy and gripping the pulpit to stay upright.The conversation also turns to what it meant to leave the church he founded and entrust it to leaders he loves, and the insecurity that keeps many leaders from transitioning. Drawing on Zechariah 10, he candidly describes his calling as making warhorses out of sheep, a vision he holds with both conviction and a winsome humilityIn this episode you'll hear:How an atheist kid from Ontario became a church planter in one of Canada's most secular cities,Why patience, the right time, people, and season, mattered more than urgency in the plant,How to preach to the skeptic and the lifelong believer in the same room,What the burnout seasons cost Mark, and the team decision that reshaped his preaching,Why he left the church he founded, and what it's been like to watch it flourish under new leadership,How Zechariah 10 reframed his calling around raising and releasing the next generation of leaders.PartnersWould you consider giving to our summer match campaign? Every donation in June will be matched by a generous donor up to $30,000.Generis has created a Pastorate-exclusive Generosity Cohort. Over one year, eight pastors leading churches with annual budgets under $1 million will journey together, coached by Jon Wright, who will help develop a customized generosity plan for their church. Because it's cohort-based and designed for Canadian pastors, it offers a more affordable option than 1on1 coaching. This cohort launches in July 2026 and is limited to eight pastors. If this sounds like it could serve you and your church, you can reach out to Jon Wright here.

Every human being has troubles. And sometimes our troubles overwhelm us. We live in a culture that encourages us to turn inward and endlessly process our troubles, yet this self-focused rumination often distorts our theology and leaves us doubting God's goodness. In this sermon, we look at how Psalm 77 calls God's people to shift their gaze from their own internal pain to God's steady faithfulness.
