Send us a textWhy does God often tell people to prepare themselves? I believe because there is something spiritually, mentally, and physically that happens in a man or those around them when they are being prepared. On today's PoM podcast we talk about the benefits of living a more prepared life as we continue to walk through Joshua Chapter 1. Learn more about The Pursuit of Manliness: https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/ Join The Herd:  https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/join-the-herd Build your own local Tribe with Tribe Builder: https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/gear/p/tribe-builderRegister for our 2026 Fall Men's Retreat: https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/gear/p/2026-mens-retreatSupport the show

Jesus didn't save His followers to sit still or stay silent—He sent them. In this episode of The Pursuit, James Griffin, Carlos Fernandez, and Matt Moody walk through the opening of the book of Acts to challenge the idea that faith is meant to stay private and explore what it truly means to live as a “sent one” in everyday life. They unpack why so many believers feel stuck, exhausted, or hesitant to speak about their faith, how relying on our own strength leads to burnout instead of boldness, and why the Holy Spirit is essential for living on mission. If you've ever wondered whether you're advancing God's mission or quietly retreating, this conversation will challenge you to rethink how your faith shows up in the world.Subscribe for more messages and conversations that will help you know and follow Jesus.SHOW NOTESThese notes are packed with key insights and scripture to help you know and follow Jesus – https://mycpcc.com/notes162To submit a question, send us a DM on Instagram or Facebook.Crosspoint City Church exists to relentlessly pursue those far from God to help them know and follow Jesus.

What if leadership isn't about arriving… but about continuing?In this special return to The Shadows Podcast, Bodhi sits down once again with retired Chief Master Sergeant and author Joe Bogdan to explore his new book, Better Has No Finish Line: Waypoints on the Lifelong Pursuit of Self-Mastery and Leadership. Rather than offering quick fixes or leadership formulas, this conversation digs into the uncomfortable, often unseen work of growth—reflection, humility, ownership, and identity.Together, they unpack why true leadership is forged through pressure, why progress matters more than perfection, and why some of the most meaningful growth happens at waypoints we never planned to stop at. Joe shares hard-earned lessons from his military and post-service journey, including the cost of unexamined success, the danger of chasing rank or position without purpose, and how empathy and emotional intelligence transformed the way he leads.This episode isn't about having all the answers. It's about asking better questions:What is your brand when you walk into a room?What is it really like to be on the other side of you?Are you growing… or just moving?If you're a leader, an emerging leader, or someone navigating a season of feeling stuck, this conversation will challenge you to rethink progress, redefine success, and embrace the idea that better has no finish line.

How do you transition from the world’s most promising talent to a triple Olympic gold medalist while balancing a Master’s degree? For Gabby Thomas, the path to Paris was paved with a refined commitment to her own longevity. After the intense physical toll of the Tokyo cycle and the subsequent seasons of high-stakes racing, Gabby opens up about the essential "choice to choose me"—the deliberate decision to prioritize her health, recovery, and mental wellness over the external pressure to constantly perform. This shift wasn't just about physical rest; it was about building a sustainable foundation that allowed her to walk onto the track in Paris with a sense of calm that only comes from knowing your "why." That intentionality resulted in a career-defining performance in 2024. Thomas cemented her status as the fastest woman in the world over 200 meters, taking home the individual gold in Paris along with two additional gold medals as a dominant force in the 4x100m and 4x400m relays. On this week's episode, we dive into how she manages the "mental load" of being a champion, the data-driven approach she takes to her health, and why her purpose in public health remains the north star for everything she does on the track. IN THIS EPISODE The emotional high of winning individual gold in Paris Juggling Ivy League academics with elite track and field training Why she pursued a Master’s in public health and how it shapes her worldview Her "I’m choosing me first" mantra regarding health and recovery The evolution of her mental toolkit and handling Olympic-level pressure Her partnership with Amazfit and the role of data in her wellness routine Looking ahead: Goals and dreams for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics QUOTABLE MOMENTS On Purpose and Perspective "It’s bigger than me. It’s about my purpose and what I want to show the younger generation." "Success is not defined by the speed at which you reach your goals." On Mental Health and Longevity "I'm choosing me first. Health and longevity beat pressure and headlines every time." "If you get caught up in needing to prove you belong, you've already lost the plot." On Resilience "Setbacks and rejections are all part of the journey and present valuable learning opportunities." "My bronze in Tokyo was a testament to resilience after a year of personal setbacks."

In this episode, Bryan and Layne explore how the Bible teaches direct access to God through Jesus, not through prophets or religious institutions, using the torn temple veil as the key turning point. Drawing from Layne's journey out of Mormonism, they explain why trusting the Holy Spirit over human authority leads to true freedom.--The Unveiling Mormonism podcast pulls back the curtain on Mormon history, culture and doctrine.

Email us at podcast@pursueGOD.org.Donate Now--Torn Veil, Open Access Layne (a former Mormon of 40 years) and Bryan talk about what access to God looks like in Mormonism compared to biblical Christianity. The big contrast: Mormonism tends to route access through an institution and its leaders, while the Bible teaches direct access to God through Jesus, guided by the Holy Spirit.They anchor the whole conversation in a key moment from the crucifixion: when Jesus died, the temple veil was torn from top to bottom (Matthew 27:51). That wasn't just a detail in the story—it was God's way of saying, “The separation is gone. The way is open.”What This Episode CoversAccess to God: simple vs. structuredLayne describes growing up Mormon with a built-in ladder of authority—bishop, stake president, prophet—where “hearing from God” felt filtered through leadership. Bryan points out that the idea of having a personal relationship with Jesus often feels like “Christian language,” not the normal relational emphasis inside Mormon culture.Why the torn veil changes everythingIn the Old Testament temple system, the veil represented a barrier between people and God's presence. Only the high priest could pass through, and only once a year, with a sacrifice.But when Jesus died, God tore the veil Himself—from top to bottom—showing that man didn't open the way; God did. The cross didn't just pay for sin. It also removed the whole structure of “you need someone else to get you to God.”Prophets then vs. the Holy Spirit nowThey walk through the New Testament idea that God used prophets “in times past,” but something changes after Jesus (Hebrews 1:1–2). Jesus promised the Holy Spirit would guide believers into truth (John 16:13). Layne puts it plainly: dependence on a prophet is replaced by direct access through Jesus and the indwelling Spirit.Why people prefer a prophet anywayEven if it's not biblical, a prophet can feel comforting because he's visible, official, and “safe.” Bryan compares it to legalism: rules feel helpful because they're clear and controllable—but clarity isn't the same thing as truth. Layne agrees: when a system is built on control, it can't survive if people learn they can truly hear and trust God directly.“What about chaos?” Pastors vs. prophetsThey address a common objection: If you don't have a prophet, won't everything fall apart? Their answer: biblical Christianity still values church, leadership, and community—but a pastor isn't a prophet, and no leader gets to trump Scripture. The moment any person

Today I'm starting a conversation I've been feeling pulled toward for a while now - stress, safety, and why so many of us feel stuck in hormone patterns even when we're doing the right things.This is the first episode in what I'm calling the Safety vs. Stress Series, where we're going to slow down and look at how our body responds to different types of stress, why it prioritizes survival over hormone balance, and how we can start creating more safety instead of just trying to fix symptoms.If you've been stressed for so long that you think it's normal now, this episode will gently challenge that idea. Here's what you'll learn:The point where stress stops being temporary and starts shaping your cycleHow your body has been compensating long before you realized something was offWhy your hormones aren't failing you; they're simply reacting to everything going onThis episode lays the foundation for the weeks, if not the whole year, ahead. So, invite a friend or two to listen together. I promise this is a conversation we all need. As you listen, jot down what stands out and feels true for you. And if you'd like someone to talk it through with, email me; I'd love to be that support for you.NEW Private Podcast - 3 Steps to Making Hormones WellBook a FREE Hormone Strategy Call with meFree trainingNEED HELP FIXING YOUR HORMONES?

Perfectionism can seem like a worthy thing to work towards, but the truth is, it actually keeps us from creating and becoming our true selves. It holds us back from true connection and intimacy and dulls and cheapens our life experience.

In 1904 Mississippi, a white man stepped off a train and made a dangerous mistake: he thought the law was on his side. He didn't realize he had just walked into Mound Bayou, the only town in the South where Jim Crow had no jurisdiction.Most history books tell us about the prosperous Black towns that were destroyed, Tulsa, Rosewood, Wilmington. But they rarely talk about the one that was too strong to burn.This is the investigative history of Mound Bayou: a "fortress" built in the middle of the Delta that used a loophole in property law to ban white ownership and create a self-sustaining economy. From a hospital with Black surgeons in the 1940s to a bank that secretly funded the Civil Rights movement when the government tried to freeze their assets, this is the blueprint for how infrastructure beats integration.It started with a paradox on a plantation and ended with a town that became a safe house for the movement. This is how they built the wall that hate couldn't climb.The Pursuit of a Dream by Janet Sharp HermannMound Bayou and the Regional Council of Negro Leadership by David T. BeitoRecords from the Taborian Hospital (National Register of Historic Places)

Brad and Bob are joined by guest Daniel Joyaux to revisit the romantic comedy 500 Days of Summer, exploring its themes of love, nostalgia, and millennial identity. The trio discuss the film's unique structure, character dynamics, and the impact of its soundtrack.

Ep. 229 When love turns into caregiving and grief meets responsibility, what does fearless living really look like? In this week's episode of Healing Her Within, Maryann Rivera-Dannert continues the In the Pursuit of Fearless Living: From Wounds to Wisdom anthology series with two powerful co-authors whose stories are rooted in resilience, care, and legacy. ✨ Meet this week's featured voices: Kelley Smith shares her lived experience as a caregiver, mother, and wife to a stroke survivor.

Eboni W. Henderson speaks candidly about losing her husband to a stroke and being forced to confront grief alongside financial responsibility. As a financial professional and founder of Plan-It Eboni, she reframes planning, protection, and legacy as acts of love — especially for women rebuilding after loss. Together, their stories reflect what fearless living looks like when life changes everything.

In this episode of Pursuit of Balance, we break down how to actually guarantee progress in 2026 — and why most New Year's resolutions fail. The truth: motivation isn't the answer. Environment, systems, and identity are. We cover SMART goals, reverse-engineering your plan, accountability systems (partners, investing in yourself, tracking, public accountability), and how to design your environment so the right choices become automatic.

If you've ever wondered why tumors can shrink but cancer still comes back years later, or why inflammation, gut health, and detoxification matter more than most people realize, this episode will shift how you think about cancer at its root. In this conversation, I explore groundbreaking research on breast cancer stem cells, metastasis, and how specific plant extracts can selectively target cancer cells while leaving healthy cells untouched. We talk about why conventional treatments often miss the most aggressive cells, and how supporting the body's biology may play a role in reducing recurrence. We also connect the dots between chronic stress, inflammation, environmental toxins, gut health, and immune resilience—factors that are especially important for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, fatigue, brain fog, digestive issues, and hormone imbalance. What You'll Hear in This Episode • Why breast cancer stem cells are believed to drive metastasis and recurrence • How certain plant extracts can distinguish cancer cells from healthy cells • The role of inflammation, detoxification, and environmental stress in cancer progression • Why an integrated approach matters—even alongside conventional treatment This episode is about understanding the what and the why behind cancer—not fear, not hype, and not false promises. It's about knowledge, empowerment, and looking deeper than symptoms alone. If you're interested in prevention, long-term resilience, or understanding how gut health, inflammation, and the immune system influence cancer risk, this conversation is one you won't want to miss.

Some of them are things we've personally seen help women and we feel good about. Others made us stop and ask more questions before moving forward. And in a lot of cases, slowing down has felt like the wiser choice for our own health.A few moments that stood out:Concerns and boundaries around AI in health and hormone supportWhy peptides aren't inherently bad, but often used without enough context or preparationWhy hyper-focusing on one body system often misses the bigger pictureIf health advice has been coming at you from all sides lately, press play and let us help you think differently about what your next step is.NEW Private Podcast - 3 Steps to Making Hormones WellBook a FREE Hormone Strategy Call with meCONNECT WITH Dr. HEATHER RHODES:WebsiteIG: @drheatherrhodesNEED HELP FIXING YOUR HORMONES?

Episode Description What if the next goal isn't the answer? In this episode of the BOSS Business of Surgery Series, host Dr. Amy Vertrees speaks with Jessica Smarro, licensed therapist, certified life coach, and author of In Pursuit: Go After What You Want, Alive, Aligned, and Fully You. Jessica shares her journey from nearly 15 years working in jail diversion programs to helping high achievers “free themselves from the prison of an unmanaged mind.” Together, Amy and Jessica explore why so many accomplished professionals reach milestones only to feel disappointed, empty, or restless—and why this experience is far more common than we admit. This conversation dives into the subtle but powerful shift from chasing achievements to understanding the feelings we're actually pursuing. Jessica introduces her Freedom Framework, explains why self-worth must be uncoupled from accomplishment, and offers practical tools for navigating fear, imposter syndrome, and emotional discomfort without abandoning ambition. This episode is especially resonant for surgeons and high achievers who are successful on paper—but quietly wondering if there's more. What You'll Learn Why achievement alone often fails to create fulfillment How many goals are really about chasing feelings, not outcomes Why feeling good before achieving doesn't lead to complacency The danger of “arrival addiction” and how to step off the treadmill How to distinguish self-honoring goals from externally imposed ones A healthier way to work with imposter syndrome The difference between fixing yourself and understanding yourself How to create emotional safety through self-compassion Chapters / Timestamps 00:00:02 – Meet Jessica Smarro and the origin of In Pursuit00:02:03 – The disappointment of achievement and chasing feelings00:04:19 – The Freedom Framework: prison, path, and pursuit00:09:34 – Addressing the fear of complacency00:12:53 – Self-honoring vs. following predetermined paths00:18:11 – Rethinking imposter syndrome as useful feedback00:21:20 – Understanding yourself instead of fixing yourself00:35:12 – Creating emotional safety through self-compassion00:37:17 – Jessica's work, podcast, and upcoming group program Action Items Reflect on whether your current goals are driven by fear/lack or curiosity/wholeness Practice staying present with difficult emotions rather than bypassing them Experiment with separating self-worth from outcomes Use “compass checks” to assess alignment before setting your next goal Resources In Pursuit: Go After What You Want, Alive, Aligned, and Fully You – Jessica Smarro Jessica's podcast: Unblocked About the Guest Jessica Smarro is a licensed therapist, certified life coach, and author who helps high achievers pursue meaningful goals without abandoning themselves in the process. Her work focuses on identity, emotional safety, and sustainable fulfillment.

The author of their story, Gwen Strauss, also shares details about the only all-women concentration camp and the worsening conditions with time. Gwen Strauss is a New York Times bestselling author and poet, whose titles include Trail of Stones, The Night Shimmy, Ruth and the Green Book, The Hiding Game, and The Nine, a work of historical non-fiction, released in 2021 and sold to seventeen countries, as well as being under option for a TV series.

Email us at podcast@pursueGOD.org.Donate Now--Every new year brings a familiar pressure: do more, be better, try harder. But on the night before His crucifixion, Jesus offered His disciples something radically different. In a moment filled with uncertainty, anxiety, and transition, He revealed the true secrets to a fruitful life—not through striving, but through connection.A Moment of TransitionJohn 15 isn't a traditional “New Year's passage,” but it may be the most important chapter for stepping into a new season. Jesus and His disciples are in the Upper Room. He has washed their feet. They've shared the Last Supper. Judas has already left. The weight of what's coming hangs heavy in the air.This moment feels like a final speech—Jesus preparing His closest followers for life without His physical presence. Twice in John 14, He tells them not to let their hearts be troubled or afraid. And yet, they clearly are.We can relate. None of us knows what awaits us in the coming year. We don't know what challenges, changes, or losses might be ahead. So how can we live without fear? Jesus answers that question in John 15.Secret #1: Think Like a Producer, Not a ConsumerJesus begins with a metaphor:John 15:1–2 (NLT) – “I am the true grapevine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn't produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more.”The disciples were likely confused. They were focused on themselves—Why are you leaving us? Why can't we go with you? But Jesus flips the perspective. He shifts the focus outward.Fruitfulness isn't about self-improvement; it's about impact.A consumer mindset asks, What do I get out of this?A producer mindset asks, What can God do through me?This changes everything—our marriages, our parenting, our work, our church involvement. Instead of seeing ourselves as victims of circumstances, we begin asking how we can bring peace, serve others, and make disciples. Jesus had just modeled this by washing His disciples' feet.A fruitful life starts when we stop making it all about us.Secret #2: Stay Connected to the VineJesus continues:John 15:4–5 (NLT) – “Remain in me, and I will remain in you… For apart from me you can do nothing.”The image is organic, not mechanical. Branches don't strive to produce fruit; they simply stay connected. This runs counter to how we're wired. We're taught to maximize effort, build better habits, and dig deeper into ourselves.But Jesus says fruit comes from abiding—learning the art of being with Him.That's harder than it sounds. Many of us are good at doing things for God, but not being with God. Remaining requires intentional...
