In Episode 7 of this series, Patrick begins by responding to recent listener feedback. He documents the many ways that post Mormons believe in conspiracy theories! Or better stated—collaborations or “constructed experiences” in early Mormon history. Patrick then responds to claims that stylometry is “junk science”. He compares this claim to early claims that DNA population studies and the Book of Mormon peoples were labeled in the same way. He demonstrates many cases of unknown authorship of a text being solved by stylometry. Further, he demonstrates how stylometry, well done, meets the high bar of being admitted as evidence in court cases. He walks through several examples of cases where stylometry was allowed as expert or scientific testimony. Patrick then announces that Rebecca discovered a 9th wordprint study! One that was just published in the past few weeks. Unfortunately, the study did not test the narrative and sermon text separately—a key to testing the multiple authors theories. More to come as we attempt to contact the author of the study for more information. The rest of this episode focuses on setting the stage for evaluating textual clues in the Book of Mormon. Which clues go beyond demonstrating 19th century authorship and tie uniquely to Joseph or Rigdon? Off the bat, there are a couple of very interesting cases: the 7-point Mormon project of the Book of Mormon, and Joseph's role being limited to only dictation of the text and deferral to a “spokesman” for everything else. The remaining discussion evaluates further, the level of complexity in the Book of Mormon, so listeners can best evaluate the skill and amount of time the author would have needed to produce the text. Join us for a thoughtful look at the evidence behind one big question: who authored the Book of Mormon?

A bonus episode, recorded at the International Enneagram Association conference in Minneapolis.Creek, Abram, Lindsey, and Lee sat down with Dr. Jerome Wagner and Patrick O'Leary — two Jesuits who first met the Enneagram in a Chicago graduate seminar in the early 1970s, taught by a famously dull theology professor named Bob Ochs who had gone away for a year with Claudio Naranjo and come back in bell bottoms and a flowered shirt. Fifty-four years later, they're still asking the question that runs underneath this entire conversation: is this something, or is this nothing?They walk us through what the Enneagram actually was before it was everywhere — an oral tradition shared among fifteen people in a room — and what changed when they decided to write it down. That decision cost them $75,000 in legal fees when Oscar Ichazo's Eureka Institute sued them, a case that ended in summary judgment on the grounds that this material was never anyone's to own.We also get their attempt to sort the essentials from everything added since: the Sufis gave us the circle, Gurdjieff added the numbers, Ichazo added the centers and the instincts. Everything after that, they'd argue, is sub-theory worth testing rather than inheriting.It's a rare chance to hear this history from the people who were actually in the room — and it ties directly into everything we explored in Season 5.Resources mentionedThe Enneagram Spectrum: An Introduction — Jerome P.

In this episode, we sit down with John and Rachelle Moyer, the creative team behind the new project Ex Mormon: The Musical, for a fascinating conversation about faith, humor, music, and the complicated journey of religious deconstruction. John and Rachelle share their backgrounds and personal faith journeys, what inspired them to create a musical soundtrack about the ex-Mormon experience, and why humor can be such a powerful tool for processing experiences that are anything but funny. We also dive into the songs themselves, exploring the stories and meaning behind the music and how the soundtrack captures different aspects of questioning, leaving, rebuilding, and finding your way forward. Ex Mormon: The Musical is hilarious but its more than that!

A child hears a bird she's never heard before. She pulls out her phone. In four seconds, she has a name, a photo, a range map — and she has lost something she'll never get back.In this Christian podcast episode on faith and artificial intelligence, Rev. Dr. Jeffery D. Skinner asks what AI is quietly costing us: not wrong answers, but lost wonder. Drawing on Psalm 19, Psalm 8, and the book of Job, this episode explores what it means to receive the world as a gift again — before it's simply explained away.This isn't an anti-technology episode. It's an invitation to notice what your phone's speed is costing you — and to recover the kind of attention Scripture calls waiting.What has got echoing through your life today?

In Episode 6 of this series, Patrick begins by responding to recent listener feedback. He addresses the often-committed logical fallacy of thinking that the lack of “better” evidence for an early connection between Joseph and Sidney Rigdon is proof they didn't meet at all. Patrick then reports recent findings that demonstrate the church is still refusing to make public the records that document 3 key points in Rigdon's life, where he would have been motivated to “spill the beans” on the church! Could it have been related to polygamy? That seems unlikely now—at a time when the church has admitted that Joseph had 34 wives. Could it have been related to Sidney's role in Book of Mormon authorship? Patrick then explains how the fear that wordprint studies can be manipulated does not justify ignoring them. Many guardrails in place surrounding scientific processes ensure that studies can be reviewed by critics to hold authors accountable. Watch as Patrick demonstrates that all of the LDS-authored studies report findings that are counter to their motivations! What better sign could there be that the LDS authored studies are not being manipulated to obtain their desired findings? The rest of this episode focuses on the last two wordprint studies, including the only study to compare the wordprint of Sidney Rigdon to the Book of Mormon text. Is Sidney flagged as an author? Finally, there is presentation of the chart reviewing the findings of all 8 wordprint studies showing surprisingly consistent findings.

WHEN THE DEAD CALL BACK: AI, GRIEF, AND THE COUNTERFEIT RESURRECTIONWhat if your phone rang tonight and the person calling had been dead for ten years?Artificial intelligence can now reproduce a person's voice, face, speech patterns, and memories. Companies are developing griefbots, deadbots, and postmortem avatars that allow people to continue “talking” with someone who has died.These tools promise comfort. They also raise serious questions.Does an AI recreation preserve someone's memory, or does it create a digital ghost? Can it help people grieve, or does it encourage them to avoid the reality of death? What happens when the program begins saying things the deceased person never said?In this episode of Echoes Through Eternity, Rev. Dr. Jeffery D. Skinner examines the growing intersection of artificial intelligence, grief, digital immortality, and Christian hope.You will hear about:• The development of AI griefbots and postmortem avatars• The difference between recorded memories and AI-generated conversations• Questions of consent, privacy, commercialization, and emotional dependence• The dangers of exposing children to digital recreations of deceased relatives• Longevity research and the growing business of technological immortality• The difference between simulation and Christian resurrection• How pastors and churches can respond with truth, compassion, and hopeJohn 11 gives us a faithful picture of grief. Jesus knew that He would call Lazarus from the tomb, yet Jesus still wept. Christian hope does not require us to deny death, rush grief, or pretend that absence does not hurt.At the same time, Christianity offers something far greater than a digital imitation. The resurrection promised in Scripture is embodied life through Jesus Christ. It is not a chatbot, a collection of memories, or a corporate subscription.An algorithm can study someone's digital history and predict what that person might say. But prediction is not presence. A machine can imitate words, but it cannot restore a person to life.AI produces an echo. Christ calls us by name.Scripture discussed:John 11John 14:191 Corinthians 15Discussion question:Would you ever speak with an AI recreation of someone you loved? Would it help you remember them, or make it harder to let them go?Listen, share this episode, and subscribe to Echoes Through Eternity for more conversations about Christian faith, technology, culture, and the questions shaping our future.Takeaways:Imagine if you got a call from your long-lost mom, who had passed away a decade ago; sounds like a plot twist straight out of a sci-fi movie, right?Artificial intelligence is now advanced enough to replicate human voices, faces, and even personalities, raising profound questions about grief and memory.We need to ponder whether creating digital versions of our loved ones is a way to cherish memories or an unsettling imitation of life.What if the dead could talk back to us? Are we really ready for those kinds of conversations, or are we just running from grief?The line between preserving memories and creating a digital ghost gets blurry when AI starts generating new conversations that never actually happened.As technology evolves, we must consider the ethical implications of digital immortality and how it impacts our understanding of death and resurrection.Companies mentioned in this episode:2Y2WADynamic Church Planting InternationalGoogleCalico LabsOpenAICoinbaseNew LimitAltos LabsJeff BezosBrian JohnsonDavid SinclairLarry PageThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacyOP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy

Mormonish Podcast hits Las Vegas with Dr. Randall Bell for a weekend of magic, illusion, mentalism, and misdirection. But this wasn't just for entertainment—we wanted to see these techniques in action and explore how performers capture attention, influence an audience, create a sense of wonder, and convince people they've witnessed something impossible. Then we turn the lens on early Mormonism. From seer stones and treasure seeking to supernatural claims and charismatic storytelling, we explore whether Joseph Smith may have employed some of the same principles of misdirection, suggestion, audience management, and psychological influence that magicians have used for centuries. Join us for a fascinating—and very Mormonish—trip to Vegas as we ask: When does a convincing performance become a miracle in the eyes of the beholder?This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy

Midnighters,Episode 220 is here, and this one moves with purpose. We open deep and hypnotic, then build steadily into the kind of driving groove that defines the peak hours. Along the way there is a proper surprise: a remastered take on a nineties classic that some of you will recognise from the very first bars. Hearing it reworked with today's production standards, sitting comfortably next to brand new records, reminds me why this music keeps pulling us back.The second half leans harder. Rolling percussion, big rooms, open eyes. If you are listening on a Wednesday night drive or deep into a late session, this stretch is for you.Thank you for being here every week.

Today, I'm sharing my personal breastfeeding journey across all three of my children—and how dramatically different each experience has been. After relatively smooth breastfeeding experiences with my first two babies, I went into my third postpartum journey assuming breastfeeding would be the easy part. Instead, it became one of the most challenging and humbling parts of my postpartum experience.I share how my third baby suddenly stopped latching during the day at just three weeks old, despite continuing to nurse perfectly at night. I tried lactation consultants, different nursing positions, craniosacral therapy, pediatric physical therapy, stretches, courses, and more, but nothing seemed to fix the problem. Eventually, I transitioned to pumping throughout the day and nursing at night—and lived that way for months. Then, completely unexpectedly, around nine months old, she began nursing normally during the day again.Throughout this journey, I've developed so much more compassion for how complicated and emotional feeding a baby can be. I'm passionate about breastfeeding and incredibly grateful I was able to continue, but I also believe a mother's mental health matters tremendously and that there is no single “right” way to feed or bond with your baby.Listen in to hear me share:How I prepared for breastfeeding before becoming a mom and why I think prenatal education can make such a differenceWhat my relatively easy breastfeeding experiences with my first two children looked likeHow infertility affected my ability to trust my body during early motherhoodWhy my third breastfeeding journey completely humbled meWhat happened when my baby suddenly refused to latch during the day—but continued nursing normally at nightThe lactation consultants, therapies, positions, stretches, and other approaches I triedWhy I eventually stopped trying to force daytime nursing and created a pumping routine insteadThe mental and logistical load of pumping multiple times every day while caring for three childrenHow a wearable pump gave me back some freedom and allowed me to leave the houseWhy my baby unexpectedly started nursing normally again around nine monthsMy mixed emotions around breastfeeding, formula, pumping, weaning, and protecting a mother's mental healthHow this experience changed the way I soothed and bonded with my third babyWhy motherhood continues to humble me—and why sometimes you can do everything “right” and still have a completely different experience than you expectedWhy I'm ready to wean, take a real break, and finally have my body and time back after years of pregnancy and breastfeeding+so much more.Connect with Lauren:Get my FREE PCOS Guide hereJoin the Empowered Path to Pregnancy hereInstagramWork With MeThank you so much for listening to the About Health and Hormones Podcast!

We've all seen the increasing number of ads from LDS missionaries on social media. You know, the ones that don't mention they are from the LDS church until you find yourself filling out a contact form. The ads that ask if you're lonely, or having a hard time, or want a friend to take you to church, or invite you to wipe away your sins with baptism. Mormonish is joined by former LDS missionary ad specialist Julianna Lane to shine a spotlight on the secret world of LDS missionary advertising. There's been a lot of discussion and interest recently about missionary ads. You won't want to miss this episode!

Over nearly two centuries, Mormonism has changed in ways both large and small. Doctrines once taught with conviction, policies once defended as divinely inspired, and practices once considered essential have quietly—or sometimes dramatically—been left behind.In this episode, we explore The Mormon Graveyard, a website that catalogs the beliefs, teachings, policies, terminology, and practices the LDS Church no longer embraces or follows. From polygamy and the racial priesthood and temple ban to changing temple ceremonies, abandoned truth claims, and evolving teachings, we examine what has been “buried” and what those changes tell us about the evolution of Mormonism.What gets remembered? What gets reinterpreted? And what simply disappears?Grab your shovel—we're taking a walk through The Mormon Graveyard with creator Aran.Website link: https://sites.google.com/view/mormongraveyard This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy

What if a story buried in your family for more than a century suddenly asked you to tell it? Brigid Kennedy's story begins with a real Irish treasure hunter, her great-grandfather Robert Patrick Kennedy, who crossed the Atlantic, married Eudocia Rodrigues in Arequipa, Peru, in 1910—and then disappeared into the Amazon.The story survived in fragments until one night, when Brigid's grandmother appeared to her in a dream and asked her to write the family story.Brigid had never written a novel. She said yes.The result is LOST — The Lost City of Incan Gold, a historical fantasy rooted in her Irish and Incan heritage.In this remarkable conversation, Michael and Brigid explore family mysteries, ancestral places, the power of heritage, and what happens when we travel across the world to reconnect with the people who came before us.From Ireland's Cliffs of Moher and Galway to the monastery in Peru where her great-grandparents married, this is a story about the past refusing to stay buried—and one woman's journey to bring it back to life.Sometimes the story isn't lost. It's waiting to be remembered.Takeaways:The story of Brigid Kennedy's great-grandfather, an Irish treasure hunter, is a profound tale that spans cultures and generations.Brigid's journey to write her family's history began with a dream from her grandmother, prompting her to uncover a long-buried legacy.The intertwining of Irish and Incan heritage in Brigid's novel serves as a testament to the power of ancestry and storytelling.Brigid's travels to Ireland and Peru allowed her to connect deeply with her roots, enriching her narrative with authenticity and emotion.The act of saying 'yes' to her grandmother's call led Brigid to rediscover her family's past and share it with the world through her writing.The conversation highlights the importance of reclaiming one's heritage and the stories that shape our identities across time and space.Find us on Apple, Spotify or your favorite listening platform; visit us on our YouTube channel Find everything "One More Thing" here: https://taplink.cc/beforeyougopodcastWant to be a guest on One More Thing Before You Go?

Christian Wiens spent his teenage years working in restaurants where, on particularly frantic days, they occasionally dealt with the constantly ringing phone by simply ripping it out of the wall.Years later, after a career building and growing technology businesses, that particular hospitality headache came back into view.The result is Loman.AI - voice AI built to answer restaurant calls, take orders, make reservations and generally allow the humans inside the restaurant to concentrate on the humans standing in front of them.Today it handles millions of calls across more than 1,500 customers.The journey there has involved manually checking restaurant orders, walking around a zoo carrying three phones, personally buying customers' food when the AI got something wrong and discovering that even the best sales process in the world is powerless against Mercury being in retrograde.We CoverGrowing up working in restaurantsBuilding startups before any of them actually workedWhy modern AI has dramatically lowered the barrier to creating softwareThe difference between an impressive AI demo and technology a restaurant can genuinely rely onWhy Loman.AI tackled the difficult problem of order taking firstWalking around a zoo monitoring restaurant orders on multiple phonesPersonally paying for customer meals when the early technology got things wrongThe restaurant owner who finally got to take his children trick or treatingWhy Christian still personally gets involved in customer supportWhether customers actually care if they are speaking to AIHospitality as an innovation frontier rather than a legacy industryAnd the customer who refused to make a business decision because Mercury was in retrogradeQuotables“We ripped the phone out of the wall so many times.”“There's never been an easier time to build a company.”“I used to check all of the orders myself.”“I haven't been able to go take the kids trick or treating… I was able to do that this year because the phones were handled.”“I'm definitely interested, but I'm not making any business decisions because Mercury is in retrograde.”Final ObservationFor all the conversation about AI, models, integrations and automation, the most powerful moment in this episode is surprisingly human.A restaurant owner gets Halloween back with his children because technology took one persistent source of operational pressure away.That feels like the interesting promise of restaurant technology when it is done properly.Not replacing hospitality.Not removing people.Removing enough of the noise that those people have more time to actually provide it.Although apparently even artificial intelligence cannot yet overcome the gravitational influence of Mercury.Show PartnerA big shout out to today's show partner, RotaCloud — the people management platform built specifically for shift-based teams.RotaCloud lets managers create and share rotas, record attendance, and manage annual leave in minutes — all from one simple, web-based app.It also makes life easier for teams, allowing staff to check rotas, request holiday, and pick up extra shifts directly from their phones.To find out more, head to RotaCloudThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy

Midnighters, this hour is for you.Last week you showed up in numbers that still make me smile, and the best way I know to say thank you is to raise the bar again. So this week we go deep into Drumcode territory. Pan-Pot's Diamonds Head sets the pace on Mobilee, then Adam Beyer takes over the first quarter of the hour twice in a row. Alto with Layton Giordani is rave kissed and written in a major key, built from the same vocal source as The Orb's Little Fluffy Clouds, and Let Loose with DJ Jock keeps that Drumcode drive rolling straight into Freak Your Mind on Truesoul.Around the halfway point, I slipped in one of my own. Retriever is my new track, named after the four-legged member of this household, and it sits between the warm groove of Chemistry by Dhuna and Pablo Say and the low-end pressure of Feel My Bass. From there, Jay Lumen and DJ Jordan push the tempo before 6 SENSE tells you exactly what to do with Say It.The final stretch goes big. Free My Soul, the brand new collaboration between Vini Vici, Space 92 and CERES on Armada, dropped only days ago and already feels like a festival closer. Psytrance energy, techno drums, one soaring vocal. I follow it with the Olly James rework of Cosmic Gate's Exploration Of Space, a classic reborn, then land the hour with Disco Move and Strange Days.The Midnight Project lands every week, same time, same place. No gaps, no reruns, over 200 episodes and counting, and a community of Midnighters that keeps growing because you share the show with people who get it.

If AI can do what I do, does my life still matter? That's the million-dollar question we're diving into today, and trust me, it's not just some economic crisis; it's a full-on existential crisis of calling. The episode unpacks how our identities and worth don't hang on job titles or paychecks, but on being created in God's image and invited into relationship with Jesus. We're tackling this topic with a thoughtful Christian lens—because, let's face it, panicking over technology is so last year. Instead, we explore how AI might change our work, but it can never touch the divine call on our lives. So, whether you're feeling lost in a sea of tech or just trying to figure out what it means to be human in a digital world, we've got your back.Takeaways:If AI can do my job, it's not just about economics; it's a deeper crisis of calling that we can't ignore.Human dignity isn't tied to our productivity; it comes from being made in God's image, and that's what truly matters.Christian vocation exists beyond employment; our worth is rooted in our identity as children of God, not our job titles.AI may shift the tasks we perform, but it can never cancel the divine call on our lives or diminish our worth.Efficiency isn't the highest Christian good; some work requires our presence and love, which AI simply can't replicate.The church must be a community where we recognize each other's gifts and purpose, especially in times of job transition.Links referenced in this episode:discovertherefinery.orgCompanies mentioned in this episode:Missional Church PlantingHearth Commonsdiscovertherefinery.orgThe International Labor OrganizationAIAlright, let's talk AI and what it means for us regular folks. This isn't just another tech talk; it's a wrestling match with our very essence as humans. If machines can handle our tasks, what does that mean for our purpose? Dr. Skinner leads us down a path that reminds us that our worth isn't tied to our productivity or our job title. Instead, it's rooted in our calling from God. Forget the panic about technology; let's approach AI with a thoughtful Christian lens. We explore how technology can help minimize the grunt work but shouldn't strip away our responsibilities or the human touch that's so vital. This episode challenges us to think deeply about the implications of AI on our identity and our Christian vocation, reminding us that while our jobs might change, our divine calling does not.

In Episode 5 of this series, Patrick begins by responding to a recent podcast episode illustrating twenty 19th century non-Biblical phrases that are found in the Book of Mormon. These phrases point to a non-ancient text. But do they point to Joseph as the author? Or better yet, to Rigdon? Patrick then addresses the question of conspiracies in early Mormon history! Are we conspiracy theorists and we don't even know it? After a brief review of the first four Book of Mormon wordprint studies presented in prior episodes, we move on to the heart of this episode which focuses on two wordprint studies that both show compare the text of Nephi to that of Alma and then Mormon. Both present well-constructed studies for the determination that there are multiple authors of the Book of Mormon. Both also avoid comparing Rigdon! Why??? Patrick also reviews two LDS-authored summaries of the various wordprint studies and shows how there is a lot of mis-direction and spin. Finally, we present a chart reviewing the findings of the first 6 wordprint studies showing surprisingly consistent findings. Join us for a thoughtful look at the evidence behind one big question: who authored the Book of Mormon?This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy

Michael and Pete Hurley discuss how hospitality organizations may shift away from large full-time head offices toward fractional and project-based senior talent to improve flexibility, innovation, and profitability amid tight margins and job insecurity.Hurley shares his career from launching a hospitality tech startup in 2004 that evolved into a cultural-venue operator business he ran for nearly 20 years and sold three years ago, before moving into consultancy and noticing the growing “fractional” trend and the lack of a dedicated marketplace for hospitality expertise.He built and coded the Well Seasoned platform in a week, launching in February and growing to about 550 consultants, around 25 hospitality businesses engaging, and regular projects posted.They cover benefits like faster hiring/onboarding, niche expertise, reduced risk, consultants collaborating to fill skill gaps, and fractionals sometimes converting into full-time roles, while emphasizing the need for a core in-house team and an active community to avoid the platform becoming a static directory.Lodgify is the headline sponsor for the Hospitality Mavericks Podcast Show.Lodgify is an all-in-one hosting platform built on one promise, minimum hassle, maximum independence.

Joseph's Pet Rock" may be a tongue-in-cheek title, but behind the humor lies one of the most important—and fascinating—objects in early Mormon history. Long before the publication of the Book of Mormon, Joseph Smith used a small seer stone while participating in treasure-seeking activities in upstate New York. Over time, that same stone became closely associated with some of the most significant events of the Restoration. In this episode, we explore the history of Joseph Smith's seer stone, its role in early Mormonism, and why it remains such a controversial and misunderstood artifact. How did a stone once used in folk magic and treasure digging become intertwined with sacred scripture and divine revelation? What do historical sources tell us about how Joseph used the stone, and why has its story been emphasized at some times and downplayed at others? Join us as we separate myth from history and examine the remarkable journey of the "pet rock" that helped shape a religious movement.

What if the places that carry humanity's deepest wounds also have the power to heal something within us?In this episode of One More Thing Before You Go, Michael welcomes poet, author, photographer, and adventurer Briana Gervat for a deeply reflective conversation about history, solitude, resilience, and the unexpected ways travel transforms us.In 2022, Briana set out alone on an extraordinary pilgrimage along the Western Front, walking hundreds of miles from the border of Switzerland and France, across the Vosges Mountains, and through the battle-scarred forests and villages where World War I forever changed the course of history. But this isn't simply a story about war. It's a story about what happens when we slow down enough to hear the whispers of the past—and our own hearts.Together, Michael and Briana explore what it means to walk alone through landscapes marked by unimaginable loss, how nature quietly teaches resilience, why solitude can become one of life's greatest companions, and how simple moments—sharing a meal, meeting a stranger, or following an unfamiliar path—can reconnect us with what truly matters.Whether you're drawn to history, travel, poetry, or the search for meaning, this conversation invites you to see the world—and perhaps yourself—with fresh eyes.In this episode, you'll discover:• Why walking through historic places changes the way we see ourselves• How solitude can become a source of strength instead of loneliness• What the landscapes of the Western Front still have to teach us today• The surprising connection between nature, memory, and healing• How travel can become a journey inward, not just across the worldSometimes the longest journey isn't measured in miles.It's measured in perspective.Find us on Apple, Spotify or your favorite listening platform; visit us on our YouTube channel Find everything "One More Thing" here: https://taplink.cc/beforeyougopodcastWant to be a guest on One More Thing Before You Go?

Hannah Swarbrick-Done followed a boy to Thailand with dreams of an idyllic island life.The relationship lasted approximately one weekend.Hannah stayed for two years.What followed included living in a house made from bottles, running one of the world's largest pub crawls, guiding travellers around Thailand and becoming sufficiently relaxed about footwear that she once wore two left flip-flops without noticing.Eventually, Hannah returned to Manchester with plans for her own hostel, including the uniforms, interiors and complete guest experience.There was just one minor omission.A business plan.Today, she is the founder of The Yellow Group, helping hospitality businesses align their people strategy with their plans for growth - while also building AI tools, employing a virtual non-executive director called Simon and developing a highly influential golf account with nearly 400 followers.We CoverFollowing that boy to Thailand - and outlasting the relationship by nearly two yearsTravelDesigning an entire hostel before learning how to operate oneThe leader who asked Hannah one simple, career-changing questionWhy promoting somebody is pointless unless you also build the support around themThe difference between holding a leadership title and actually leadingWhy hospitality develops skills that transfer far beyond operationsBeing told she was “not very good with data”How AI removed the barrier between Hannah and the story inside the numbersCreating Simon, her AI non-executive directorBuilding The Yellow Group as a collaborative people consultancyBecoming a professional golfer and part-time influencerQuotables“I did follow a boy.”“I had everything, honestly.

But an actual leader? They're not common.”“I am the funniest thing that happens to me.”Final ObservationHannah describes her career as a winding journey, but there is a wonderfully clear thread running through it.Travel taught her to understand people. Hospitality taught her to support them. One excellent leader noticed what she did naturally and gave her the structure to build a career around it.Now, Hannah is doing the same for businesses: finding the gaps between what they want to achieve and what their people actually need to succeed.She may not believe in five-year plans, but she has built something far more useful - curiosity, adaptability and an apparently endless willingness to try the next interesting thing.Even when that thing is golf.Show PartnerA big shout out to today's show partner, RotaCloud — the people management platform built specifically for shift-based teams.RotaCloud lets managers create and share rotas, record attendance, and manage annual leave in minutes — all from one simple, web-based app.It also makes life easier for teams, allowing staff to check rotas, request holiday, and pick up extra shifts directly from their phones.To find out more, head to RotaCloudThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy

Midnighters, last week I told you we are bringing the groove back to Ibiza. Then Friday happened. The rooftop filled up, the sun went down over Playa d'en Bossa, and a lot of you told me you came through the show. That is the whole point of this project, and episode 218 picks up exactly where that night left off.We open with Per Hammar's "Shuriken" on Natura Viva Black. Sharp, stripped, straight into the pocket. Yes, that label again. Three weeks running now they have earned a spot in the show, and this one shows why. Victor Ruiz and Kaufmann follow with "Don't Mess With Us" on VOLTA, a collaboration that sounds exactly as confident as the title suggests.The middle of the hour is where it gets physical. JLuna's "Emergency SEQ," Teenage Mutants' "Conflicted Mind," and A.D.H.S. back for the second week in a row, this time with "Eos" on DCLTD. Then Pan-Pot land "Futoreno" on Second State, and right after it comes my favorite moment of the episode: Mark Broom's remix of "Tropical Melons" by 2000 And One on Rekids. A Dutch classic, rebuilt by one of the UK's finest. I have loved this record since my Amsterdam years, and hearing it come back around like this made my week.The back half runs from the YellowHeads' peak mode "Reboot.exe" into Giorgia Angiuli's "Light" on Terminal M, the melodic breath of the hour. Ilona Maras keeps it honest with "Don't Pretend," and JSPR closes on We Are The Brave with "Japan Air."Full track IDs are on 1001Tracklists, as always. Hit reply and tell me which track hit hardest. I read everything.And if you are on the island: I am back on the rooftop next Friday for Tomorrowland Rooftop Sessions Ibiza. Same foundation as this show. Groove first, sunset into darkness, no filler. Episode 218 is your warm-up.SebastiaanThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy

What was it like growing up as a girl in Mormonism? What about in Seventh-day Adventism? You might be surprised by how much these two very different religions have in common. In this episode, Melissa Duge Spiers joins Mormonish for an honest conversation about purity culture, modesty, dating, shame, and the expectations placed on women in our respective faith traditions. Melissa shares her experiences growing up Seventh-day Adventist, while I reflect on my own upbringing in the LDS Church. Along the way, we discover striking similarities in the messages we received about our bodies, our worth, and what it meant to be a “good” young woman. This isn't about comparing which religion was “better” or “worse.” It's about exploring the lasting impact of these teachings, sharing our stories with empathy, and talking about what healing and growth can look like on the other side. Whether you were raised Mormon, Seventh-day Adventist, or in another faith tradition, we think you'll find plenty to relate to in this heartfelt conversation. We'd love to hear your own experiences in the comments!

What if the greatest lesson from Hollywood wasn't about making blockbuster movies—but about living a more focused, creative, and meaningful life?In this episode of One More Thing Before You Go, Michael welcomes Steven Puri, former EVP at DreamWorks and VP at 20th Century Fox, whose career helped shape iconic films including Transformers, Star Trek, Die Hard, and Independence Day. Yet the most compelling story isn't what happened behind the camera—it's what happened within.Steven shares an extraordinary journey from television news anchor to software engineer, from Oscar-winning visual effects producer to Hollywood executive, entrepreneur, and founder. Along the way, he opens up about selling his first company at 28, enduring the disappointment of failed startups, and discovering that success without purpose is never enough.Together, Michael and Steven explore why flow—that rare state where focus, creativity, and performance align—may be one of the most valuable skills we can cultivate in an age of constant distraction. They discuss how setbacks reshape identity, why failure often becomes our greatest teacher, and how purpose emerges when we stop chasing achievement and start pursuing what truly matters.Whether you're a creator, entrepreneur, leader, or simply searching for greater clarity and fulfillment, this conversation offers practical insights into unlocking your best work—and perhaps your best self.In this episode, you'll discover:Why flow states unlock peak creativity and performanceThe surprising lessons Hollywood taught about storytelling and human natureHow failure can become the catalyst for reinventionWhy focus is becoming one of the world's rarest—and most valuable—skillsPractical ways to create the conditions for deeper work, creativity, and fulfillmentSometimes the biggest breakthroughs don't happen on a movie set.

What happens when a morning person who dreams of opening a coffee shop joins forces with a night person who wants a cocktail bar?Naturally, they rope in their chef mother, add a fiancé with experience in marketing and finance, and open a Greek Mediterranean restaurant together.This is the story of Eirini Tamousi and Nectar: a family business that took four years, several false starts, disappearing investors and a last piece of finance arriving one day before the deadline to become real.Then came opening week.It was, by Eirini's own account, chaos and in fact her words before we started the chat - "I don't even know where to start"But amidst the chaos, It was also the beginning of something rather special.We CoverFalling into hospitality while studying in EdinburghLeaving the industry for corporate HR, and missing its energyCombining one family's very different skillsTrying repeatedly to secure the money to open NectarReceiving the final finance one day before the deadlineProtecting a family relationship while building a family businessThe danger of expecting people to know when you need helpOpening a restaurant without a working fryer or grillAsking neighbouring businesses whether they had seen your binsWhy honesty during a disaster can build customer loyaltyReaching more than 300 five star reviews in the first yearCreating a restaurant that feels less like a venue and more like homeQuotables“We were living it without actually knowing if it was going to work out.”“People don't know what's in your head, funny enough. Unless you tell them.”“You told me there's no food, but I can have alcohol.”“I didn't know our bins were going to fly away.”“The things that feel like big setbacks in the moment are quite often the things that shape you the most.”Final ObservationThere is a polished version of entrepreneurship in which somebody has a brilliant idea, raises the money, opens the doors and confidently begins building an empire.This is not that story.This is four people repeatedly questioning whether they should continue, learning how not to destroy their family under pressure, opening without the ability to serve food and searching the streets of Edinburgh for wind assisted bins.But it is also a story about what happens when people keep choosing the thing they believe in.Almost one year later, Nectar has become exactly what the family hoped it might be: warm, imperfect, honest and full of people who keep coming back.Hopefully, by the time Phil visits, it will also have food.Show PartnerA big shout out to today's show partner, RotaCloud - the people management platform built specifically for shift-based teams.RotaCloud lets managers create and share rotas, record attendance, and manage annual leave in minutes — all from one simple, web-based app.It also makes life easier for teams, allowing staff to check rotas, request holiday, and pick up extra shifts directly from their phones.To find out more, head to RotaCloudThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy

Midnighters, this one is built on groove.It is late July on the island. The nights barely cool down and everything I play out here lately has that rolling, physical quality. Episode 217 came together with that in mind.We open with a KASIA double: "No Competition" with Equinøx on Arcane, then "The Realm," her Drumcode collaboration with Layton Giordani. After that it breathes. Pablo Say's "I'm a Dreamer" is the melodic moment of the hour. If you write in about one track this week, my money is on this one.Then the groove takes over. A.D.H.S. on DCLTD, RHAPSODIE's "Void," and a middle stretch with four Natura Viva Black records, the second week running the label lands that many in the show. Pig&Dan's "Aptitude" is my pick of the four. Play this section loud. Monika Kruse's "Latex" on Terminal M anchors the back half, KENZ's "Blade" brings the Drumcode peak, and JJ Mullor and Gombok Project close with "Grooveaholic."

In this episode, Michael introduces Ruth Jacobs, a registered mental health nurse and founder of Certified Minds, to discuss where mental health efforts in industry have landed and how to create behavioral, cultural, and systems change that builds resilience.Ruth shares her background in CAMHS and eating disorder inpatient care, her experience managing during COVID lockdowns, and how gaps in pediatric mental health training led her to train UK medical teams, schools, and workplaces using simulations and practical skills.They focus on hospitality's risk factors—high emotional demands, unpredictability, staff shortages, long hours, poor sleep, and normalized frontline abuse—and discuss proactive leadership, psychological safety, and embedding resilience and check-ins into inductions.Ruth distinguishes everyday mental health issues from disorders, highlights early burnout signs, stresses the cost of inaction, recommends better listening and language for difficult conversations, and raises concerns about normalized cocaine use.

Can Green Eggs and Ham really be read as an ancient temple text? Dr. John Lundwall takes on that challenge—using the very same interpretive methods often employed by LDS apologists to argue for ancient origins in the Book of Mormon. By intentionally applying those techniques to Dr. Seuss's Green Eggs and Ham, Dr. Lundwall demonstrates how flexible assumptions, selective parallels, and creative pattern-finding can make almost any text appear to support an ancient religious narrative. This episode isn't an argument that Green Eggs and Ham is actually ancient. Instead, it's a thought-provoking exploration of methodology: How do we distinguish between genuine evidence and imaginative interpretation? Where is the line between scholarship and apologetics? Join us for a fascinating—and surprisingly funny—conversation that challenges listeners to think critically about the arguments used to defend ancient scripture claims.

What if the greatest challenges of your life were preparing you for your greatest purpose?Resilience isn't something we're born with—it is built through adversity, difficult choices, and the moments that quietly redefine who we become. In this cinematic conversation, Michael sits down with Jim Paulk to explore how life's unexpected setbacks can become the foundation for purpose, personal growth, and lasting strength.Jim shares the defining moments that tested his character, the lessons he learned when life refused to follow the script, and why resilience is less about surviving hardship than discovering who you become because of it. Together, Michael and Jim explore what it means to live intentionally, embrace uncertainty, and find meaning even in life's most difficult seasons.If you've ever questioned your direction, struggled through adversity, or wondered whether your hardest chapter has a greater purpose, this conversation offers hope, perspective, and practical wisdom you'll carry long after it ends.This episode explores resilience, purpose, overcoming adversity, personal growth, mindset, intentional living, and the courage to keep moving forward—even when the path isn't clear.One More Thing Before You Go is a cinematic interview podcast where every conversation begins with curiosity, deepens through presence, and reveals the stories that shape who we become.Find us on Apple, Spotify or your favorite listening platform; visit us on our YouTube channel Find everything "One More Thing" here: https://taplink.cc/beforeyougopodcastWant to be a guest on One More Thing Before You Go?

The story of the office that smells like itselfWhat do university ASBOs, Stash Monkey, Sarah Beeny, private equity cold calls and an office with its own recognisable smell have in common?They all feature in the unconventional journey of Chris Davies, CEO of flexible office brand Uncommon.Recorded inside Uncommon's Fulham podcast studio, after Chris and Phil had already used up most of the good material during an hour-long pre-podcast chat, the conversation explores accidental entrepreneurship, yellow energy and the value of making decisions before certainty finally arrives.Chris also invents the word “Un-Starbucks-ise,” reveals why his university time resulted in an actual legal threat and casually announces that he would eventually like to create a hotel brand.Naturally, we made a note of that.We CoverWhy every Uncommon building looks different but somehow feels the sameRecognising an office by its smellThe university business that nearly earned Chris an institutional ASBOBeing sued over the name Stash MonkeyWhy your dream investor should not receive your first-ever pitchMaking decisions when you are only 51% certainThe joy and danger of filling a business with yellow energy peopleWhy a company is a team rather than a familyLearning to manage the energy you bring into a roomThe hospitality stories that definitely cannot be shared publiclySaunas, ice baths and Chris's future hotel ambitionsQuotables“People need to think of time as a resource.”“You kind of don't want your best shot to be your first one.”“We're a team.

Unlock the secret to transforming your relationship with your adult children without nagging, guilt, or frustration. For solo moms feeling uncertain about how to communicate effectively, this episode reveals simple yet powerful strategies to nurture respect, trust, and genuine connection as your kids step into adulthood.Imagine having peaceful, meaningful conversations where boundaries are respected, misunderstandings are minimized, and your kids feel truly heard and appreciated.Key Takeaways:1.Pray intentionally for your adult children 1:03–4:26Prayer is a way to support your children's salvation, protection, friendships, purpose, and character without trying to control them.2.Remember they are adults with their own lives 0:32–2:23A strong relationship starts with respecting that your children are no longer little kids, and that you can't solve problems for them the way you used to.3.Stay in touch with consistent, intentional communication 2:49–8:11Texts, calls, video chats, and face-to-face time all matter, but the message is to be purposeful about keeping the connection alive.4.Resolve conflict with listening, boundaries, and grace 8:40–13:38Disagreements are normal, but the relationship strengthens when you listen carefully, avoid guilt trips, respect boundaries, apologize sincerely, and don't become a doormat.5.Express appreciation and let the relationship evolve 14:00–17:05The relationship changes as children become adults, and mutual respect, gratitude, and encouragement help it grow into something more like a friendship.Spiritual Foundations & Scripture ReferencesWhen direct intervention is not appropriate or possible, faith serves as the primary support system that provides peace of mind.James 5:16: "The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective."A reminder that your prayers are an active form of support, even when your words are not being heard by your child.Psalm 91:11: "He will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways."A specific prayer for the physical and spiritual protection for your children.Proverbs 13:20: "Walk with wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm."Used to pray that adult children are surrounded by godly, wise friendships and that unhealthy influences are strategically removed.Jeremiah 29:11: "For I know the plans I have for you... plans to prosper you and not to harm you..."A foundational prayer for a child's purpose, ensuring they find their path under divine guidance rather than parental pressure.Resources MentionedFree Parenting Workbook: A guide to help you internalize the strategies discussed and improve your communication approach at any stage of parenting. https://solomomstalk.store/b/xO63LOne-on-One Support: Connect directly with J.

Growing up in the LDS church, we experienced a lot of mythologized history. A lot of this was tied to the founding fathers and the origins of America. We heard stories about Moroni appearing to Christopher Columbus and George Washington. Mythology narratives about Washington's prayer or the founding fathers appearing to Wilford Woodruff at the temple. All of these ideas were narratives designed to push a very specific idea of American identity and Mormonism's place inside that identity, many of these ideas are directly tied to ideas of Christian nationalism. Promoted by people like a Benson, Skousen, Tim Ballard, Glenn Beck many others these mythology became part of our religious identity. Over the past two decades, Warren Throckmorton has become one of the leading voices examining the historical claims behind Christian nationalism. Through books such as "Getting Jefferson Right and The Christian Past That Wasn't," he has carefully documented how influential activists and organizations have reshaped American history to promote the idea that the United States was founded as an explicitly Christian nation with a unique covenantal relationship with God. In this interview, we'll explore how these narratives developed, why they remain so influential, how they compare with similar ideas found in Mormonism and other religious traditions, and what the growing influence of Christian nationalism could mean for American democracy, religious liberty, and the relationship between faith and political power.This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy

Have you always wondered who is behind the Temple Name Oracle? After experiencing cognitive dissonance from his mission in 2003 and discovering the truth about LDS church history in 2010 from a simple Google search, Clint Kimball experienced the sudden loss of his entire social support structure and began reconstructing his belief system by collecting a trove of facts. This led to the creation of his website, Fuller Consideration, a repository of information used by researchers around the world. Join Mormonish as we take a fascinating deep dive into the creation and impact of some of his notable projects, including: Better Information: A collection of original source documents on church history. No commentary. No analysis. The Temple Name Oracle: The popular database that unlocked the rotation system behind how New Names are given out in temples. The Patriarchal Blessing Revelator: An archive that helps us understand whether patriarchal blessings tell us more about the recipient or the patriarch. Unit Tracker: A live list of where wards, branches, stakes, and districts are being opened and closed around the world. The Deseret Demographer: A large data-driven analysis that shows how many of the church's reported membership actually consider themselves members, and how many are showing up to church.

What if the future isn't something we're trying to predict... but something we're trying to understand about ourselves?The stories we tell about tomorrow often reveal more about today than we realize.In this thoughtful conversation, Michael sits down with author and cultural thinker Amy Bernstein to explore why speculative fiction has become one of the most powerful ways to make sense of an uncertain world. Together, they examine how imagination helps us process fear, hope, identity, and the questions that refuse to leave us alone.Their conversation moves beyond books into something deeply human—why creativity matters when the world feels unsettled, what art can say that facts alone never can, and how the stories we create often become the mirrors that help us recognize ourselves.Along the way, they explore:• Why speculative fiction is having a cultural moment.• How imagined futures help us navigate real-world uncertainty.• The courage it takes to keep creating when doubt is loud.• Why artists often challenge the stories society tells us to accept.• What fiction reveals about identity, belonging, and the future we're quietly building together.If you've ever wondered why certain stories stay with you long after you've closed the book, this conversation offers an answer—and perhaps a few new questions worth carrying with you.Because sometimes the most revealing stories aren't about the future at all.They're about who we're becoming.Find us on Apple, Spotify or your favorite listening platform; visit us on our YouTube channel Find everything "One More Thing" here: https://taplink.cc/beforeyougopodcastWant to be a guest on One More Thing Before You Go?

I'll be honest... this one is a little different.For the first time in Hospitality Meets history, I sat down with a guest who didn't need a microphone, didn't ask for a coffee before we started, and definitely didn't have any travel expenses.Instead, I had a conversation with ChatGPT.What began as a bit of curiosity quickly turned into something much more interesting. Somewhere between jokes about "Chatty McChatface", philosophical debates about trust, and the bizarre reality that I was interviewing... well... nobody sitting opposite me... we found ourselves exploring one of the biggest questions of our generation.Not what AI is.But what it means for us.Along the way we laughed, challenged each other, questioned what intelligence really means, and even discovered a brand new phrase..."Digital adulthood."Who knew?In this episode we get into...Why the journey to AI actually began over 70 years ago.How a conversation about technology somehow became a conversation about humanity.Whether AI really has a sense of humour... or is just borrowing ours.Why trust is something AI should earn, not expect.The famous AI stories that went hilariously wrong (including the tank that turned out to be a cloud detector).Why AI isn't replacing thinking... but can become a brilliant thinking partner.What should genuinely concern us about AI... and what probably shouldn't.Whether Chatty McChatface is actually a respectable stage name.(We're still undecided.)Some cracking moments..."I've processed billions of words... and somehow that's the nickname I end up with.""I'd rather earn your trust question by question than ask for blind faith.""Think of me as a very well-stocked library that talks back.""The future isn't AI becoming human... it's humans getting better with AI.""I said I don't have an ego... I didn't say I don't have standards."Why this episode is worth your earsThis isn't an episode about technology.It's an episode about curiosity.About asking awkward questions.About challenging assumptions.About discovering that one of the most interesting conversations you can have about artificial intelligence is actually a conversation about... being human.And yes...I genuinely laughed far more than I expected to while interviewing something that technically doesn't laugh back.Join the conversationIf you had one hour with an intelligence that knew a huge amount about the world......what would you ask?Send me your questions.Because this is only the beginning.The AI Files are officially open.Show PartnerA big shout out to today's show partner, RotaCloud — the people management platform built specifically for shift-based teams.RotaCloud lets managers create and share rotas, record attendance, and manage annual leave in minutes — all from one simple, web-based app.It also makes life easier for teams, allowing staff to check rotas, request holiday, and pick up extra shifts directly from their phones.To find out more, head to RotaCloudThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy

Episode OverviewIn observance of "Cheer Up the Lonely Day," this episode addresses an emotion that carries profound weight for single and solo mothers: loneliness. For the solo parent, the repetitive "work-home-sleep" cycle can often lead to a sense of isolation that feels inescapable—a "one-dimensional" existence where the emotional weight of providing and nurturing leaves little room for the self. Loneliness in this context is far from a joke; it is a heavy, multidimensional experience that requires both compassion and a strategic approach to navigate. This episode moves beyond surface-level platitudes to offer a light yet careful exploration of how to break the cycle of "doom and gloom," framing the host as a supportive guide for those navigating the complexities of raising a family on their own.The following insights provide a roadmap for moving from a state of emotional heaviness toward a life characterized by intentional connection and spiritual resilience.Key TakeawaysTo help you navigate this discussion, we have outlined the primary themes and actionable advice discussed in the episode.[01:00] The Importance of Situational Awareness Identifying whether loneliness occurs in solitude or within a crowd (such as at church or work) is the first step in understanding the root of the emotion.[01:45] The Relational Audit A practical look at your current circle—evaluating the frequency and quality of communication with friends and family to see if you have unintentionally distanced yourself.[02:30] Breaking the One-Dimensional Cycle How hobbies and companionship can provide necessary layers to a life that has become dominated solely by work and childcare.[03:45] Reframing the Silence Shifting the perspective on solitary moments from a burden of isolation to a potential "teaching moment" or a season of rest.[05:15] The Power of Reciprocal Comfort Understanding that reaching out is not just about seeking help, but about providing comfort to someone else who may be in the exact same position.[06:30] Scriptural Foundation: 2 Corinthians 1:3-5 A deep dive into the biblical cycle of comfort and how God uses our experiences to help others.[07:45] Featured Resource: Overcoming Abandonment An introduction to the specialized tools available for those whose loneliness stems from deeper emotional wounds.These takeaways serve as a vital roadmap for emotional regulation, allowing you to transition from passive feeling to active engagement through the 7-step framework detailed below.The 7-Step Framework for Mitigating LonelinessThis framework is designed to help single mothers analyze their current state and implement practical changes to their daily routines.Contextual AwarenessThe Step: Examine when you feel lonely—is it when you are physically alone, or when you are surrounded by people at church or work?So What? By identifying the specific environment that triggers these feelings, you can move from a vague sense of sadness to a targeted understanding of why you feel disconnected, allowing you to address the root cause rather than just the symptom.Relational AuditThe Step: Evaluate your current relationships with friends and family. Are you actively communicating, or have you become distant?So What? Recognizing a self-imposed distance allows you to take ownership of your social health. It helps you identify where simple communication could bridge the gap and break the cycle of isolation.The Role of CompanionshipThe Step: Consider if your lifestyle is conducive to a pet, such as a small dog or a cat.So What? The source emphasizes that a pet is a powerful solution when you "can't pinpoint" the source of your loneliness. This companionship provides a mutual benefit; the animal receives care, while you receive consistent, non-judgmental presence that enhances your home environment.Identity Beyond MotherhoodThe Step: Re-engage with a hobby, such as gardening, reading, writing, or painting.So What? Solo parenting often results in a "one-dimensional" life of work and childcare. Hobbies break this cycle, reminding you that you are an individual with unique interests and creative needs beyond your role as a provider.Intentional ConnectionThe Step: Deepen existing relationships through weekly phone calls, texts, coffee dates, or walks.So What? Deepening a connection benefits both parties. It moves relationships beyond the superficial, ensuring that your lifestyle is enhanced by a genuine support system that understands your reality.Reframing SolitudeThe Step: View quiet seasons as a "gift" or a "teaching moment" rather than a failure to connect.So What? By asking God why a season is quiet, you transform yourself from a victim of isolation into a student of your current season. This shift allows you to find purpose and growth in the silence rather than just enduring it.Physical and Creative ReleaseThe Step: Go outside, walk in nature, and use technology intentionally.So What? Physical movement in nature acts as a release for the tension and loneliness that gathers within. The host suggests taking your phone not as a distraction, but as a tool to "talk," record voice journals, or take photos—turning a potential instrument of isolation into a medium for creative self-expression.While these practical steps offer significant relief, some forms of loneliness stem from deeper spiritual and emotional wounds, such as abandonment, which require a more dedicated focus.Scriptural Foundation: The Cycle of ComfortCentral to overcoming loneliness is the spiritual principle of reciprocal comfort, as found in 2 Corinthians 1:3-5:"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God."The "So What?": This scripture reveals that the comfort we receive from God is not meant to end with us. It establishes a divine cycle: God comforts us in our darkest moments so that we are empowered to reach out and comfort others. By looking outward and providing support to someone else, you often find that your own sense of "doom and gloom" begins to lift. You discover that in the very moment you felt you needed someone most, you were actually the answer to someone else's prayer.Featured Resource: [FREE AUDIO COPY]Deepen Your Healing Journey If you feel your loneliness is rooted in the "wounds of abandonment," I invite you to explore a specialized resource designed for you.Featured Offer: Day 3 of the Courage to Believe 21-Day Christian Devotional for Single Moms.Title: "Loneliness: Releasing the Stigma of Abandonment"Format: Free Audio Copy[DOWNLOAD YOUR FREE AUDIO COPY HERE] (Click the link to access your free gift.)This resource is specifically crafted to help you move past the stigma of abandonment and find the courage to believe in a future filled with connection, purpose, and spiritual peace.Memorable Quote and Final Encouragement"Go ahead and reach out.

In Episode 3 of this series, Patrick begins by responding to excellent audience feedback on the overview of stylometry; he presents a chart that shows when in the Book of Mormon each anomaly first appears. He then reviews the usable Book of Mormon wordprint study from Episode 3. The heart of this episode focuses on the first two wordprint studies, both from BYU academics. Patrick explains how the authors of these first two studies make the clear claim that their studies show—in two different types of analysis each—that there are multiple authors of the Book of Mormon! The second of the studies did what no other study does—compare the wordprint of the primary authors “narrative” text voice separately from their “sermon” text voice. What conclusions should we draw from this well-designed study about the two voices? Patrick reviews the critiques of the studies and discusses limitations and most reasonable conclusions to draw from the studies. Join us for a thoughtful look at the evidence behind one big question: who authored the Book of Mormon?This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy

In this special Mormonish/ The Good Book Club episode, we sit down with Dr. John Lundwall to discuss his thought-provoking book Mythos and Cosmos and explore what its ideas might mean when viewed through the lens of Mormonism. Drawing on comparative religion, oral tradition, mythology, and the development of sacred narratives, Lundwall challenges readers to think differently about how ancient religious texts emerge, evolve, and function within believing communities. Together, we examine some of the book's most intriguing arguments and consider their implications for Latter-day Saint scripture, history, and religious identity. How do oral cultures preserve and transmit sacred stories? What distinguishes myth from history, and must the two always be in conflict? How might Lundwall's framework reshape conversations about the Book of Mormon and other sacred texts?This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy

Comparison has become so normal that many of us don't realize the toll it's taking on our health.I unpack why constantly measuring yourself against other people—especially on social media—can quietly increase stress, rob you of peace, and make it harder to trust yourself.I also share practical ways to break the comparison cycle so you can focus on your own health journey with confidence.Listen in to hear me share:Why comparison is a normal human instinct—but social media has taken it to an unhealthy extreme.How comparing yourself in areas like appearance, motherhood, fertility, career, and health habits increases stress and anxiety.The hidden factors—genetics, environment, finances, childcare, support systems, and access to healthcare—that make comparisons unfair.How comparison creates chronic stress, decision fatigue, and causes you to lose confidence in your own intuition.Practical strategies to stop comparing, spend less time scrolling, cultivate gratitude, clarify your personal health values, and focus on progress over perfection.+so much more.Connect with Lauren:Get my FREE PCOS Guide hereJoin the Empowered Path to Pregnancy hereInstagramWork With MeThank you so much for listening to the About Health and Hormones Podcast!
