Send us a textIn Joshua 4, God commands His people to stop, look back, and remember. Twelve stones are taken from the Jordan River, not as decoration, but as a declaration. A visible reminder of God's faithfulness meant to be passed down from one generation to the next.In this episode of The Pursuit of Manliness, we explore The Value of Remembering and why remembering is not weakness or nostalgia, but strength. Biblical masculinity is rooted in men who don't forget what God has done, who mark the moments of deliverance, and who lead their families and communities by telling the story of God's work.We'll talk about:Why God calls men to remember His faithfulnessHow forgetting leads to fear, pride, and spiritual driftThe role of memorials in shaping godly leadershipHow men today can build intentional reminders of God's work in their livesLearn 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

You know what they say, fall down seven times, pursue a class action lawsuit against the establishment.

Send us a textWhat does it look like for a man to step forward when the path ahead feels uncertain?In Joshua 3, Israel stands at the edge of the Jordan River—promised land in sight, but no bridge to get there. God calls the priests to step into the water first, trusting Him before the way is made clear. It's a powerful picture of biblical manhood: faith that moves, obedience that costs, and leadership that goes first.In this episode of The Pursuit of Manliness, we walk through Joshua 3 and challenge men to consider where God may be calling them to step out in faith at home, in their work, in their walk with Christ, and in their leadership of others. We'll talk about courage, obedience, and what it means to trust God when the waters haven't parted yet.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

Did you know that even if you're still showing up, getting things done, and keeping everything together, you could still be stuck in burnout? Your body knows even if your mind doesn't.Today, I spoke with my therapist + nervous system expert, Ash McDonald, about high-functioning burnout, the one we both see in women who care a lot and do a lot. Unlike traditional burnout, it's when your brain keeps pushing you to go, even when you're exhausted. And no amount of sleep or coffee fixes it.We discussed how burnout often doesn't appear dramatic. It may just look like being busy and successful, while inside, your body is struggling.A few things we talk through together:How Ash went through high-functioning burnout herself and eventually had to step away not only from what looked like her dream life, but also from her successful businessWhy no system, routine, or doing it better can fix a body that doesn't feel settledA simple practice Ash walks women through that helps their nervous system come downThis episode is really about understanding why your energy, and even your hormones, don't get a chance to calm down when your body is always living on high alert.Pay attention to what feels familiar, and if something hits, pass it along to someone who's been carrying too much for too long and acting like they're fine.Download the new 20-min private podcast training - Simply Nourished CyclesBook a FREE Hormone Strategy Call with meCONNECT WITH ASHLEY:Burnout Breakthrough - use code HAPPILYHORMONALPodcastNEED HELP FIXING YOUR HORMONES?

And what she's learned may challenge how you’re thinking about retirement. Anna Rappaport hasn’t just studied retirement—she’s been living a phased retirement for three decades and is still going strong at 85. As a former Society of Actuaries President and one of the profession’s most published and respected retirement experts, she has insights you’ll want to hear. So, today, we're focusing on phased retirement, but not as an HR policy. We're talking about it as a life strategy—one that blends purpose, flexibility, and relationships. Anna introduces a powerful framework she calls the Life Portfolio—Health, People, Pursuits, and Places—and explains why money alone is never enough for a fulfilling next chapter. If you’re wondering Who will I be when I retire?, this conversation is for you. Anna Rappaport joins us from Chicago. ________________________ Bio Anna Rappaport is the founder and president of Anna Rappaport Consulting.

So this is on top of money—it’s not instead of money. That’s really important. The four quadrants are: Health, Pursuits, People, and Places. If you’re not in good health, nothing else matters. But pursuits—the things that give you a sense of purpose in your life—that’s critically important. And here’s the key: you need a portfolio of them, not just one or two. Because you can always lose one or two. If your pursuit is playing tennis, you might not be able to play tennis anymore. If it’s work, it might disappear. So people should try to do a few things, see what they like, zero in on it, but not be limited to one thing.” On The Reboot, Rewire, Retire Concept “Rather than saying ‘Okay, I’m done with work, I’m going to play golf all the time,’ Reboot is thinking about this life portfolio. What can I do that brings value to my life? We went around the table asking what people were most concerned about regarding retirement. The biggest issue wasn’t money, wasn’t health, wasn’t caregiving—it was ‘who am I going to be when I’m not who I was anymore?’ That was a real wake-up. Rewire is getting ready—building new skills, keeping up your contacts, maintaining your skills. Those are critical things.” On Preparing for Phased Retirement “The preparation you should do is not when you’re ready for phased retirement—it should be way before that. Think about career planning where you’re always focusing on how you’re creating value. You need to have ways of creating value. If you have a good relationship with your employer, you can work something out. I was probably the most published and well-known retirement person in my firm at Mercer. You need credibility. Learn to use their words, not ours—if I’m talking actuarialese to my client, they’re like ‘what?’ But if I’ve translated that to their language, it’s a lot better.” On Identifying Where You Add Value “I think the big benefit for employees is that they have much more satisfying lives. There are also a lot of people who they get near what like the traditional retirement ages and they want to spend more time with their grandchildren. They want to take more vacations. They want to pursue a hobby, but they don’t just want to say, my work life is over. And it gives them a variety of options. So I think there’s a lot of benefit. It’s really a way of this gradually changing pursuits. And it may involve money and it might not involve making more money. But it does involve value. Now there can be, and we had a Society of Actuaries essay on employees and both, we’ve discussed the value a number of times. We’ve also discussed the routes to phased retirement because it’s not an easy deal that just automatically happens. Not usually. For employers, it’s a different thing. Depending on the kind of employer and the kind of job that people have, it lets them keep value that people have contributed. And what I want to say is that if we look at employees, and of course it varies by type of employment, there’s firm-specific human capital and there’s general human capital. And for example, if you were a currency trader, you could probably move into one job to another in two minutes. But Joe, you were a human resource director, and you had years and years of history, a lot of firm-specific human capital. What we have not done a good job of, and this is a speech I’ve been making for 25 years, probably maybe 30, is identifying what are the things that you contribute, that you really contribute value. It might be that 10% or 20% of your job, you’re doing something where you’re contributing a lot of value. And what I think is really important is for the employee to figure out how they can contribute a lot of value and the employer to figure out, and for them to reach a meeting of the minds.”

Episode OverviewEast Tennessee guide Ellis Ward delivers his first fishing report of 2026 on The Articulate Fly podcast, covering winter tactics for both post-spawn trout and low-water musky fishing. Ward breaks down strategic adaptations required for fishing extremely low and clear water conditions that have dominated the region through early January, affecting both tailwater trout fisheries and musky rivers like the French Broad. The episode emphasizes post-spawn trout streamer fishing opportunities in late January and February, when trophy fish are feeding aggressively to recover after the fall spawn. Ward also discusses current musky conditions under challenging low and clear water, requiring downsized presentations and pinpoint casting to specific holding pockets, with the transition to pre-spawn musky anticipated in March. Additionally, Ward covers his intensive bucktail processing operation, having accumulated over a thousand deer tails for custom musky flies following the end of deer season. With water levels dictated by minimal tailwater releases and fish becoming increasingly spooky in gin-clear conditions, Ward explains timing windows for visiting anglers looking to capitalize on prime post-spawn trout streamer fishing and upcoming pre-spawn musky opportunities.Key TakeawaysHow to capitalize on post-spawn brown trout streamer fishing in late January through February when trophy fish are feeding heavily to recover after the fall spawnWhy low and clear water musky fishing requires downsizing presentations and focusing on precision casts to specific structure rather than covering water broadlyWhen to book trips around optimal moon phases and weather windows during the transitional period between post-spawn trout streamer fishing and March pre-spawn musky activityHow to execute sidearm casts to tight cover and confined holding areas when backcast limitations and spooky fish demand tactical adjustments in extreme low waterTechniques & Gear CoveredWard emphasizes post-spawn brown trout streamer tactics as prime winter opportunities, with late January and February offering some of the highest ceilings for trophy fish on streamers as they feed aggressively after the fall spawn. For musky fishing under current low and clear conditions, Ward discusses downsized fly presentations that facilitate better casting opportunities to tight cover with limited backcasts. The conversation details targeted approaches to four-by-four pockets, requiring anglers to identify specific holding structure rather than covering expansive zones. Ward discusses his extensive bucktail processing operation, managing approximately a thousand tails stored in two chest freezers and working through the dyeing and preparation process during winter. Equipment discussion includes the practical considerations of fishing in extreme cold with nitrile gloves and hand warmers while maintaining the dexterity needed for presentations in sub-30-degree weather, particularly important for anglers targeting post-spawn trout during early morning sessions.Locations & SpeciesThe French Broad River serves as the primary musky water, with Ward noting how extremely low and clear conditions require tactical adjustments throughout the winter period. East Tennessee's tailwater systems are emphasized for post-spawn brown trout streamer fishing, with Ward specifically noting that late January and February represent prime months when the ceiling is quite high for trophy trout that have completed their fall spawn and are feeding heavily. The interconnected nature of water management affects both

Kelly and Tammy continue their Friday movie tradition, this time exploring humility in The Pursuit of Happyness. They discuss the difference between humiliation—being forced down—and humility—choosing to stay grounded, and how Will Smith's character, Chris Gardener, retains his dignity while losing everything. They talk about being honest when you have every reason to lie, the fine line between owning your struggle without burdening others, and why showing your flaws almost never comes back to bite you the way we fear.

"I spent several months trying to narrow down the cast. I had access to so many people with interesting stories. But what [my agent] said to me over and over again was, 'narrative arc, narrative arc,' all the time. What he needed to know in order to sell the book was like, 'Where does this book start? And if you can't tell me where it ends, at least tell me what are the ups and downs? What's gonna happen along the way?" says Alison Lyn Miller, author of Rough House: A Father, a Son, and the Pursuit of Pro Wrestling Glory (Norton).Who is our guest this week? It would appear to be Alison Lyn Miller (@alisonlynmiller on IG), author of Rough House: A Father, a Son and the Pursuit of Pro Wrestling Glory. It's published by Norton.This is a great book and it's an immersive story in an oddball subculture of amateur professional wrestling. It follows Hunter James, a young man who eschewed the traditional path, the path his father wanted for him, to pursue this dream of becoming the next superstar of the WWE. You're gonna think I'm crazy, but this book has so many parallels to being a writer. The luck you need, the timing you need, the skill you need, the perseverance you need, the envy they feel, the subjectivity, voice, style, individuality. But we writers rarely need the abs. But don't we all want the abs.So Alison is a freelance journalist based out of Georgia, which put her in direct overlap with this subculture of “backyarders,” these aspirational wrestlers and hobby wrestlers. It's easy to poke fun at wrestling as fake. Well, it isn't fake, so much as it's scripted brutality. It's danger adjacent, though there's always physical risk when jumping, flipping, and kicking. Alison witnessed it all and delivers a heartfelt tale of ambition and striving, of a blind belief in the self.In this conversation, we talk about: Not being able to throw everything in the book Being motivated by slights Finding the narrative arc The year it took Alison to write her proposal How wrestling mirrors humanity Making the writing approachable And maybe we should all be play fighting in our underwearOrder The Front RunnerNewsletter: Rage Against the AlgorithmWelcome to Pitch ClubShow notes: brendanomeara.com

Chris Kaufman co-founded StockX, but this isn't an origin story. We talk about what he learned watching companies destroy culture for quarterly gains, why constant layoffs cost more than just keeping good people, and what leadership actually looks like when you stop pretending you have all the answers. Plus: the Kanye visit, the first StockX trades, and why Detroit was the perfect place to build something weird and new.Chris wrote "Empathy at Work" because he's convinced being decent to people isn't just morally right... it's better business.

From social media feeds and streaming shows to school hallways and group chats, culture is constantly catechizing them—often long before parents or mentors realize it. That leaves adults with a choice: avoid the conversation out of fear or discomfort, or step into it with honesty, compassion, and biblical truth.In Talking with Teens about Sexuality, counselor Beth Robinson and Latayne C. Scott offer a much-needed roadmap for navigating one of the most intimidating areas of discipleship. Rather than promoting fear-based rules or one-time lectures, the authors equip parents and mentors to engage in thoughtful, ongoing conversations about sex, identity, relationships, boundaries, pornography, dating, gender, and online influences.A key insight of the book is this: teens aren't just battling hormones—they're battling an entire culture that is shaping their beliefs every single day. Algorithms are discipling them. Influencers are normalizing behaviors. Entertainment is redefining identity and intimacy. If Christian adults remain silent or reactive, they shouldn't be surprised when culture becomes the loudest voice in a teen's life.Robinson and Scott insist that intentionality is essential. Parents don't need to have all the answers, but they do need to be present, informed, and emotionally available. Teens are far more likely to listen when they feel understood rather than lectured. That's why the book repeatedly emphasizes listening before teaching, empathy before correction, and relationship before instruction.Another strength of the book is how it reframes God's design for sexuality. Instead of presenting biblical boundaries as arbitrary rules meant to limit freedom, Robinson and Scott show how Scripture presents them as gifts meant to protect dignity, foster trust, and lead to wholeness. Teens are desperate for a vision of sexuality that offers hope rather than shame—and the Bible provides exactly that.The authors are also realistic. They acknowledge that parents cannot control everything their teens encounter. Pornography, sexualized content, and identity-driven messaging are nearly unavoidable in today's digital world. But while parents can't control the culture, they can guide their teens through it. They can create homes where hard questions are welcomed, mistakes are met with grace, and truth is spoken clearly and lovingly.Ultimately, Talking with Teens about Sexuality is not just a parenting manual—it's a discipleship guide. It reminds us that shaping a teen's view of sexuality is inseparable from shaping...

In this episode of Pursuit of Balance, I break down what I believe is the most important skill anyone can develop: communication. Not just for sales or marketing — but for your relationships, your career, leadership, parenting, and your ability to influence outcomes in every part of life. We talk about: Why people make decisions emotionally (and justify them with logic later) The difference between influence vs manipulation (hint: it's intent) How trust is built in the first 7–30 seconds The communication stack: body language, tone, and words Therapist frameworks you can steal: empathy, validation, reflective listening, and asking better questions Why the best communicators don't convince — they create conditions where people convince themselves If you want to become a better leader, partner, coach, or human… this episode will give you a framework you can start using today.

For Christ and Country: The Martyrdom of Charlie Kirk is not just a book title. It is a warning about what happens when political hatred becomes normalized and violence is excused.

Allen explains why the assassination of Charlie Kirk was not an isolated tragedy, but the predictable result of years of dehumanization fueled by media, academia, and political leaders. The conversation connects current events, including attacks on public officials, demonization of law enforcement, and the casual use of "Nazi" and "fascist" labels, to a deeper spiritual crisis facing the nation. What You Will Learn in This Episode: How political language precedes violence and why escalation is accelerating Why the Left remains ideologically unified while the Right fractures internally The role media, academia, and activism play in America's moral decay How law enforcement became a political target and why that matters Why saving the country requires spiritual renewal, not political theatrics

In this episode, we sit down with Larry Hagner, founder of The Dad Edge and author of The Pursuit of Legendary Fatherhood. We talk about a powerful idea Larry calls “the drift”—how men can slowly lose focus in their roles as husbands and fathers without even realizing it. Larry shares how to interrupt that drift and become more intentional at home, strengthen your marriage, and build deeper connections with your kids. We also dive into practical habits, mindset shifts, and simple actions dads can take right now to create a more fulfilling family life. If you're a husband or father who wants to show up better for the people who matter most, this conversation is for you. Chapters

California feels like a shoreline at dusk. Beautiful on the surface. Unsettled underneath. The tide keeps pulling back, exposing questions most people are told not to ask.In Episode 120 of ALLSMITH, Bryce sits down with Phil Mauriello Jr., attorney and host of California Underground, for a wide ranging conversation exploring power, policy, conspiracies, and the patterns shaping modern life.This is not a conversation about left versus right.It is a conversation about awareness versus autopilot.Together, Bryce and Phil explore California as a microcosm for the world. A state that often feels less governed and more tested. Policies roll out like experiments. Narratives change faster than outcomes.

Why do so many Christians hesitate to speak up about their faith even when they know the gospel is true?In this episode of The Pursuit, James Griffin, Matt Moody, and Carlos Fernandez unpack the real reason believers stay silent and it's not a lack of knowledge. Walking through Acts 1, they discuss how fear, comfort, and distraction quietly undermine the mission Jesus gave His church, and why boldness was never meant to come from personality, confidence, or preparation alone.This conversation challenges the idea that sharing your faith is about having all the answers and points instead to the Holy Spirit as the true source of courage. You'll hear why obedience matters more than outcomes, how everyday life is your mission field, and what it looks like to stop waiting for the perfect moment and start living on mission right where you are.If you've ever felt anxious, unqualified, or unsure about speaking up for Jesus, this episode will reframe the pressure and remind you where real boldness actually comes from.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/notes163To 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.

In this episode, Matt reflects on the idea of “optimized health” and challenges the notion that health is simply the absence of disease or looking fit on the outside. Using personal examples and observations from the gym, he explains how many people have hidden gaps in their foundations—rest, nutrition, and movement—that prevent them from feeling their best, even if they exercise regularly or eat clean. The conversation emphasizes that optimization isn't about perfection or extreme protocols, but about identifying blind spots such as poor sleep, excessive screen time, nutrient deficiencies, limited mobility, weak grip strength, or imbalanced training. By strengthening these foundations and filling individual gaps, health becomes more sustainable, more effortless, and better integrated into daily life, allowing people to have the energy, resilience, and physical freedom they want long term.

Thomas Paine's Common Sense turned a colonial rebellion into a full-blown revolution. But how did one pamphlet move so many minds in 1776—and why does it still matter 250 years later? To commemorate the 250th anniversary of Common Sense, historian and Director of the Institute for Thomas Paine Studies at Iona University, Nora Slonimsky, joins us to explore Paine's life, the pamphlet's explosive impact, and what this revolutionary text still teaches us about democracy, communication, and civic life.

Send us a textWhat does biblical courage look like when obedience carries real risk?In Joshua 2:1–7, we're introduced to Rahab, an unlikely figure whose fear of the Lord led her to decisive action. As Israel stands on the edge of the Promised Land, God uses a woman with a complicated past to protect the spies and advance His redemptive plan.In today's episode, we explore what this passage teaches men about courage, faith, and obedience when no one is watching. We'll talk about taking responsibility, acting wisely under pressure, and trusting God even when the path forward feels uncertain.This is a call for men to live with conviction, to choose faith over fear, and to remember that God often works through unexpected people who are willing to act.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

Trust Your Gut: What Your Body Already Knows (and Your Mind Keeps Second-Guessing) If you've been battling fatigue, hormone imbalance, digestive issues, IBS, weight loss resistance, brain fog, or low energy—and you feel stuck in indecision—you're not imagining the connection. Your gut and brain are in constant communication, and that partnership shapes everything: your metabolism, your mood, your stress response, your hormones, and the choices you make every day. In this episode, I break down how your enteric nervous system, vagus nerve, and stress patterns influence whether you feel aligned… or completely overwhelmed. And most importantly, how to finally hear the truth your body has been trying to tell you.

That's a natural assumption, especially if you grew up in a system where spiritual certainty came from the top down.In Mormonism, that “one guy” model is baked into the culture. You're taught to trust the prophet's voice. You stand when he enters. You sing songs about him. You learn, subtly, to confuse the voice of the Spirit with the voice of a leader. And over time, it can become so normal that you don't even notice what's happening: you start substituting God's voice for the voice of man.But here's the key question: Is that how Jesus set up His church to work?When we open the Bible, the answer is clear—no. Jesus did not design His church to depend on one human “main character” who can't be questioned. Instead, Jesus promised something far more personal, more powerful, and more stable: He would lead His church by the Holy Spirit, with Jesus as the Head.Jesus' Blueprint Starts in ActsIf you want to understand how God leads the church, you have to start in Acts 1:8. Right before Jesus ascends to heaven, He gives His disciples their mission: they will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes, and they will be His witnesses—starting in Jerusalem and spreading outward to the ends of the earth. Acts 1:8Notice what's missing: Jesus doesn't single out Peter and say, “I'll speak through him now.” He doesn't announce an ongoing chain of centralized authority. Instead, He points them to the Spirit's power and the global mission ahead.Then comes Acts 2, and it's one of the most important moments in church history. At Pentecost, the Holy Spirit comes—not on one leader—but on all believers gathered together. That's the point. The Spirit is not reserved for one office or one “elite” class. God's presence is now available to every follower of Jesus. Acts 2:1-4That alone challenges the entire “one guy” model.The Apostles Were a Foundation, Not a Forever OfficeMormons and Catholics both appeal to the idea of apostolic succession. But the New Testament treats the original apostles as something unique: a foundation.Paul says the church is “built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets.” Ephesians 2:20A foundation is laid once. You don't rebuild it every generation.Acts itself supports this. After Judas dies (after betraying Jesus), the apostles replace him to restore the Twelve. Acts 1:15-26 But later, when James is martyred, the church...

In this episode of the Ultimate Journey of Self-Care, Alison had the privilege of speaking with Steve Gallegos, a multi-faceted guide who wears many hats: an attorney, author, speaker, and consultant. With his newly published book, Unshackled, they delved deep into how individuals can redefine their self-care practices by reevaluating their core beliefs and narratives that shape their lives. Steve's journey from overcoming a troubled youth to thriving in various professional roles exemplifies that personal transformation is possible through conscious choice and awareness.Steve shared his personal journey including the pivotal moment during his time in the U.S. Marine Corps, where he discovered the power of looking beyond himself to help others. This experience served as a cornerstone for his understanding of self-worth and value, leading him to advocate for a mindset shift in how we perceive our lives and the stories we tell ourselves. They explored how many of us often unconsciously act out scripts written by societal norms and past experiences. With insights from his book, he provides a framework to help people rewrite those scripts and take charge of their narratives.Steve shared profound insights about overcoming feelings of unworthiness and imposter syndrome, which can hold individuals back from pursuing their true potential. Common themes emerged regarding why people seek guidance: many grapple with the belief that they are not deserving of happiness or success. He encourages listeners to recognize that these beliefs are often rooted in childhood experiences, and he advocates for awareness as a key first step towards transformation.Moreover, they touched on how societal pressures and the pursuit of happiness can lead to a sense of competition rather than collaboration. By creating an environment of support, individuals can thrive instead of just surviving. Throughout their conversation, Steve reiterated the importance of envisioning what a fulfilled life looks like and the necessity of taking small, actionable steps towards achieving it.Listeners will gain valuable takeaways from this episode, including the message that change does not always require massive leaps but can often begin with a simple yes or no to opportunities that come our way. Steve's heartfelt commitment to helping others through his work and community initiatives reflects a genuine desire to empower individuals to take ownership of their lives.HIGHLIGHTS:16:06 Unshackled: The Book24:13 The Pursuit of Happiness26:14 Tips for Transformationconnect with Steve:website: https://www.steviegsuccess.comfree resources: https://www.steviegsuccess.com/learning-loungeUnshackled (book): https://a.co/d/aYHhbsWSPONSOR:Cellev8Discount code: THEALISONK2024 ALISON'S LINKS:Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram
