If year-end fundraising feels like an all-gas-no-brakes sprint, this Working Session is your moment to regroup, refocus, and rally your strongest allies. We brought in fundraising expert and author Rhea Wong for a rapid-fire strategy session on two mission-critical moves: activating your board before December 31 and turning year-end gifts, signals, and conversations into a predictable 2026 pipeline — in under 30 minutes.Rhea walks us through her signature approach to board engagement and donor outreach: one rooted in clarity, specificity, and creating micro-yes moments that move relationships forward. You'll learn how to give board members turnkey actions they'll actually complete, how to structure two-call closes for warm prospects, and how to use January to set up a smarter, stronger pipeline for the entire year.Top 3 Takeaways:Your Board Is Your Force Multiplier: Stop sending blanket emails. Start giving individuals clear, specific, low-friction tasks — from making their own gift to nudging warm contacts to posting on LinkedIn. Activated intentionally, your board becomes your most powerful surface-area expander.December Is for Decisions: Rhea breaks down her two-step outreach process — the R for R.O. (Reason for Reaching Out), the alignment call, the opportunity call, and the art of making a clear ask and then staying quiet. January Is Your Pipeline Launchpad: Retention workflows, short donor surveys, micro-engagement signals, and a simple “schedule time with me” link in your email signature can dramatically increase donor conversations. Plus her favorite January homework: donor interviews that build your 2026 avatar and deepen relationships with zero solicitation pressure.This episode is packed with low-lift, high-impact tactics to help you close strong this year — and build a donor pipeline that carries you confidently into the next.Welcome back to Working Sessions: hands-on, clarity-filled conversations designed to help you move real work forward inside your organization.Let's get to work.Episode Highlights: Four Quick Board Actions for Year-End Fundraising (00:58)Getting Your Nonprofit and Board Members on LinkedIn (03:39)Making Board Engagement Fun & Effective (04:01)Removing Friction: Scripts, Emails & Turnkey Tasks (05:08)How to Move Unengaged Board Members to Action (05:39)December is for Decisions: Triage Your Donor List (08:08) The Two-Call Strategy for Major Gift Closes (09:10)0:12:06 – Handling Objections & Building Consent at Every StepWhat to Do in January: Retention & Stewardship (14:25)Using Surveys & Engagement Data to Build Your Pipeline (15:16) Hot Prospect Lists & Calendar Link Pro Tips (17:43)Donor Interviews: Building Avatars & Deepening Relationships (18:15)Final Reflections, Resources, and Closing (19:27) Episode Shownotes: www.weareforgood.com/episode/665//Join the We Are For Good Community—completely free.Join fellow changemakers, share takeaways from this working session, and keep collaborating in a space built for connection, inspiration, and real impact: www.weareforgoodcommunity.com Say hi

The sermon centers on the profound truth that God's love, expressed through the sending of His only begotten Son, is the foundation of salvation and the heart of the gospel. Drawing from John 3:16–17, it emphasizes that God's purpose in sending Christ was not to condemn the world, but to save it—redeeming all of creation, including humanity, from sin, death, and spiritual darkness. This act of divine love, rooted in God's eternal nature and sovereign choice, is not based on human merit but on His grace, demonstrated in Christ's pre-existence, incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection. The sermon underscores that salvation is not for all people indiscriminately, but only for those who believe, as the Spirit regenerates them, making the believers the world that God loves. Ultimately, the message calls for faith and repentance, assuring believers that they are personally included in God's eternal love and that through Christ, they will not perish but have everlasting life. 1.

A Catholic bishop displayed an image of a pig's heart inside a condom over the altar—and he's still in ministry. The same bishop has publicly defended artwork depicting Jesus as a crucified frog, as well as an image portraying the Virgin Mary as a transgender man. These weren't hidden provocations. They were praised, justified, and […]

Hour 1 of Rush To Reason opens with estate-planning attorney Michael Bailey (https://michaelbaileylawllc.com), who reminds listeners that the end of the year is the perfect time to protect what matters most. What really happens if you leave your estate to Colorado's default rules? And how simple is it to update an old will—especially when life, kids, and families change? Michael breaks down the misconceptions and reveals why planning spares your loved ones from confusion and conflict. Next, lifestyle and food creator Shanisty Ireland (https://shesbecomingdomestic.com)brings much-needed calm to the chaos of the holiday season. Can one signature dish, a five-minute “fake clean,” and lowering the lights truly transform a stressful gathering into a cozy, joy-filled moment? And what happens when you finally stop apologizing for imperfections no one else even notices? Finally, health educator Troy Duell of https://centurion.health exposes the hidden health traps of the season—sugar overload, poor sleep, party fatigue, and holiday stress. Which simple supplements can strengthen your immunity? And why is prevention far more powerful than any “miracle” cure once illness hits? Hour 1 delivers practical wisdom, emotional relief, and real-world tools—perfect for anyone wanting a healthier, happier holiday. HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush to Reason opens with author Richard Battle (https://RichardBattle.com), who dives into the extraordinary “American-do spirit” that sparked the Boston Tea Party and built a nation unlike any other. But do Americans still have that fire today—or are we quietly surrendering our freedoms to a globalist mindset that rejects individual liberty? The hour then shifts to political analyst Sunny Kutcher of Young Americans Against Socialism ( https://yass.org), who confronts one of the most explosive issues of 2025: mass migration and its cultural, economic, and security fallout. Why are taxpayer dollars flowing out of the country in suitcases of cash? Are failing assimilation, cultural clashes, and entitlement politics accelerating America's unraveling? And what happens when a rising political figure like Rep. Jasmine Crockett challenges critics—only to have a flood of violent Democrat soundbites resurface? Sunny exposes the strategy behind it all: chaos, disruption, and media manipulation designed to shape elections far beyond one candidate. Her message is clear—if Americans want their country back, they must understand what they're up against. HOUR 3 Hour 3 launches with a high-stakes conversation as Brendan Steinhauser, CEO of the Alliance for Secure AI (https://secureainow.org), joins John to tackle one of the most urgent questions of our time: Who should control the future of artificial intelligence—states or the federal government? With China racing ahead and U.S. politicians struggling to understand even basic tech, is America prepared for the new AI frontier? And what happens if the people writing policy can't even reset their phones? The hour then pivots to a viral economic warning as John exposes the brutal reality behind America's skilled-labor crisis. Why are $120,000-a-year technician jobs unfilled while millions of college graduates stack debt, not skills? Is the decades-long “everyone must go to college” mindset fueling inflation, worker shortages, and a collapsing middle class? In the final segment, John widens the lens: What happens when one in three young adults can't afford to live on their own? Are high prices really to blame—or a culture that never taught resilience, marketable skills, or the value of hard work? Hour 3 is a wake-up call for anyone who wants America to thrive in the age of AI, economics, and personal responsibility.

She highlights how initial dreams are fragile and can be easily crushed by doubts, even those from well-meaning loved ones.

Reason for the Season by Bishop Joaquin G. Molina

Treu reason will bring you to the true Reason for the Season.

Today Allie explains why she chose not to teach her kids to believe in Santa Claus. While imagination is powerful, believing in Santa can cause confusion and ultimately muddy the true gospel message of Christmas. Allie provides practical ways and activities for parents to keep Christ at the forefront of the holiday season, like devotional reading and hymn-singing. She then dives into progressive churches, like Lake Street Church in Illinois, that have hijacked Christmas to make it into a political spectacle to push agendas like open borders and illegal immigration. Despite what the Left says, Jesus was not a refugee. He and his family fled within the Roman Empire under divine command; he was not a modern border-crosser. Tune in for biblical clarity and why Christ — not Santa Claus — is the real reason for the season.

In this morning's class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explored the baffling, almost mythical global obsession with Israel and the Jewish people, a tiny nation that somehow takes up an outsized share of the world's attention. Drawing on the teachings of Rabbi Simon Jacobson, Rabbi YY Jacobson, and Rabbi Manis Friedman, Rabbi Bernath unpacked the spiritual roots behind antisemitism and the world's fixation on Jews.We confronted the paradox: being “chosen” doesn't raise us above others, it humbles us beneath the weight of responsibility. Using the Alter Rebbe's 1798 letter after his release on Yud Tes Kislev, we learned that true chosenness shrinks the ego while expanding the soul's mission: to illuminate the world with goodness, moral clarity, unity, and love.When Jews embrace who we are… Divine ambassadors of light, we trigger the world. But we also transform it.Key TakeawaysThe obsession is ancient and irrational — Jews are less than 0.25% of the world, yet remain humanity's main character.Reason alone cannot explain Jewish influence and survival — only our mission as bearers of ethical monotheism can.Chosen-ness ≠ superiority — it's a call to responsibility, growth, and humility.Closeness to G-d shrinks the ego, not inflates it — “Katonti,” like Jacob said: “I am made small by Your kindness.”Anyone can join the Jewish people — chosenness is a spiritual calling, not a biological club.The world senses Jewish holiness — sometimes more than Jews do — and reacts intensely, for better or worse.Our role is universal — to be a moral lighthouse, not a fortress of self-importance.#Israel #Jewish #Chosen #chosenpeople #chosenness #alterrebbe #yudteskislev #JewishSpirituality #Rebbe #Antisemitism #LightOverDarkness  #humility Support the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?

Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com plunges listeners into a fast-moving, razor-sharp conversation about the future of AI, healthcare, education, and mental health. John Rush and guest Steve House unravel the myths and realities of artificial intelligence—asking whether we're facing a technological revolution or sleepwalking into unforeseen danger. Will AI become the greatest diagnostic tool in medical history, spotting disease earlier and cheaper than ever? Or will Big Pharma fight to keep control of the system AI threatens to expose? The hour also challenges America's failing education model. If AI can tailor learning to every student, why are we still trapped in a one-size-fits-all system designed for averages, not excellence? And what happens when deepfakes become indistinguishable from reality, or when AI avatars blur emotional and spiritual boundaries? John and Steve then tackle the more profound cultural questions: Why is European bread easier on the body than ours? Are we unintentionally creating a nation dependent on chronic disease? Has our mental health crisis worsened by constantly digging up the past instead of building a stronger future? Hour 1 mixes innovation, caution, and big-picture thinking—inviting listeners to ask: Are we ready for the world AI is about to create? HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush to Reason dives into one of the most misrepresented narratives in America: Are young people truly priced out of the housing market, or have expectations changed more than reality? With no guests this hour, John Rush takes calls, challenges the headlines, and breaks down why so many millennials believe homeownership is impossible—while others their age are quietly making it happen. Should a first-time buyer expect 2,400 square feet, designer finishes, and two new cars in the driveway? Or is the real path to wealth still found in sacrifice, fixer-uppers, and sweat equity? John dismantles the "can't afford a home" storyline by exposing the role of lifestyle inflation, comparison culture, and social media. He also reveals how Trump's newly lowered CAFE standards could immediately reduce the cost of new vehicles—something critics refuse to acknowledge. The hour ends with a look at Colorado's construction-defect law and its unintended consequence: wiping out starter condos that once made owning a home far more attainable. Hour 2 challenges everything you think you know about affordability, expectations, and building a life you can actually afford. HOUR 3 Hour 3 explodes with energy as John Rush and Jerzee Joe (https://www.youtube.com/@jerzeejoe3145) open with sharp cultural commentary, outrageous news stories, and a hard look at how the erosion of family structure is impacting crime, discipline, and society. Why are celebrities saying bizarre things? Why are harmless gun-range photos turning into arrests overseas? And what happens when statistics on fatherlessness collide with uncomfortable political truths? Then the hour pivots into a powerful economic deep dive with Scott Garliss of Bent Pine Capitol (https://x.com/CScottGarliss), who reveals what the Federal Reserve may do next—and how a single decision could ignite or stall the entire U.S. economy. Will the Fed begin cutting rates? Could mortgage portability reshape home ownership? And is the housing market one bold policy away from roaring back to life? From government overreach to Fed strategy, from climate hysteria to bank stability, Hour 3 is packed with provocative questions, sharp analysis, and insights you won't hear anywhere else.

Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com plunges listeners into a fast-moving, razor-sharp conversation about the future of AI, healthcare, education, and mental health. John Rush and guest Steve House unravel the myths and realities of artificial intelligence—asking whether we're facing a technological revolution or sleepwalking into unforeseen danger. Will AI become the greatest diagnostic tool in medical history, spotting disease earlier and cheaper than ever? Or will Big Pharma fight to keep control of the system AI threatens to expose? The hour also challenges America's failing education model. If AI can tailor learning to every student, why are we still trapped in a one-size-fits-all system designed for averages, not excellence? And what happens when deepfakes become indistinguishable from reality, or when AI avatars blur emotional and spiritual boundaries? John and Steve then tackle the more profound cultural questions: Why is European bread easier on the body than ours? Are we unintentionally creating a nation dependent on chronic disease? Has our mental health crisis worsened by constantly digging up the past instead of building a stronger future? Hour 1 mixes innovation, caution, and big-picture thinking—inviting listeners to ask: Are we ready for the world AI is about to create? HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush to Reason dives into one of the most misrepresented narratives in America: Are young people truly priced out of the housing market, or have expectations changed more than reality? With no guests this hour, John Rush takes calls, challenges the headlines, and breaks down why so many millennials believe homeownership is impossible—while others their age are quietly making it happen. Should a first-time buyer expect 2,400 square feet, designer finishes, and two new cars in the driveway? Or is the real path to wealth still found in sacrifice, fixer-uppers, and sweat equity? John dismantles the "can't afford a home" storyline by exposing the role of lifestyle inflation, comparison culture, and social media. He also reveals how Trump's newly lowered CAFE standards could immediately reduce the cost of new vehicles—something critics refuse to acknowledge. The hour ends with a look at Colorado's construction-defect law and its unintended consequence: wiping out starter condos that once made owning a home far more attainable. Hour 2 challenges everything you think you know about affordability, expectations, and building a life you can actually afford. HOUR 3 Hour 3 explodes with energy as John Rush and Jerzee Joe (https://www.youtube.com/@jerzeejoe3145) open with sharp cultural commentary, outrageous news stories, and a hard look at how the erosion of family structure is impacting crime, discipline, and society.

Was coercion ever considered a legitimate tool in the defense and preservation of the Catholic faith? In this episode, we examine St. Thomas Aquinas' reasoning behind the medieval position that civil and ecclesiastical authorities could compel heretics—by force if necessary—to return to the Church. We'll explore the theological arguments, historical backdrop, and the later development […]

For most of us today, changing our religious beliefs is understood as a personal right — a matter of conscience. But throughout much of Christian history, things were very different. In many eras, leaving the faith or publicly challenging official doctrine wasn't just discouraged… it could be illegal, and in some cases, even punishable by […]

My first ocean cruise was a cruise from New York City to Bermuda. I'd never been on a big ocean liner before. Although I've done a couple other ocean cruises since then, I'm not really a fan. I love exploring, and there is only so much exploring you can do on a ship in the middle of the ocean. But on this first cruise, I did love the feeling of being in the middle of the vastness of the ocean with nothing but water all around. The feeling of not having any landmarks - literally - was a little exhilarating and more than a little awe-inspiring. Naturally, I wasn't really frightened; I assumed, logically and correctly, that the captain and crew knew where we were heading and how to get there. I myself wouldn't have had a clue, but I never doubted that I could rely on them to get me safely to Bermuda and back. Nautical navigation is a mystery to me, and I was impressed by the notion that all the power and energy of the ship would have been useless if the captain hadn't set a direction and followed that direction with purpose. And that ties in with what I want to talk about with you today - the power of purpose. Our energy, our passion for playing the harp, is useless without a purpose. As I see it, purpose has two important ingredients. One is directional. When we have a goal we want to accomplish, we need to have a clear idea of how to get from here to there. This gives our practice a purpose every day. But purpose also encompasses meaning, specifically what our harp journey means to us. Without that meaning, our goals will not be as personally compelling and our progress will not be as swift. This is about our passion for playing the harp, not passion in a dramatic way, but simply our deeply felt conviction that we love playing the harp.  Today, I'd like to help you consider your passion and your purpose, and how you can align them to make progress faster and to make both the process and the results more easily achievable and more deeply fulfilling. Real progress in our playing comes from the alignment of our energies and passion - the ship in my example - with a direction and of course, the courage to pursue it.  So if you're feeling ready to be a little courageous with me, let's get started.

In this episode of the BraveCo Podcast, I'm answering your real, raw questions about dating, marriage, trust, and fatherhood as a man of God. We start with how to actually meet women in person in a world that hides behind screens and dating apps. I share my own story of dating after divorce, how I met my wife Lauren, and why growing your in-person game is one of the most important skills you can build as a single man. If you've ever felt stuck, awkward, or intimidated around women, this conversation will give you practical tools to initiate low-pressure, honest, and confident conversations.From there, we dive into one of the hardest topics I hear about as a pastor and counselor: emotional abuse in marriage. Is it ever a good enough reason to leave? What does it look like to set strong, healthy boundaries without instantly jumping to divorce? I'll walk you through why emotional abuse is not “less serious” than physical abuse, why you need wise outside counsel, and how to discern what's really happening in your relationship. We also talk about rebuilding trust after pornography or betrayal—why “I've changed” isn't enough, how to validate your wife's pain, and how trust is rebuilt not by perfection, but by how you clean up the mess you made.Finally, we tackle the question so many men carry quietly: “How do I father my kids when my dad never fathered me?” I share stories from my own family, how my dad invited spiritual fathers into his life, and how you can pursue older men, mentors, and healthy community instead of waiting for someone to chase you down. We talk about joining men's groups, serving leaders you respect, and becoming “good soil” that fathers want to invest in. If you're hungry to grow as a man, husband, and father—and you're willing to grind, show up, and do the work—this episode will give you a clear path forward.Chapters:00:00 - Why Every Boy Needs a Rite of Passage01:44 - How to Meet Women Without Online Dating09:09 - Is Emotional Abuse a Reason to Leave My Wife?13:20 - Rebuilding Trust After Porn and Betrayal19:10 - How to Father Your Kids When You Lacked a Father23:00 - Inviting Spiritual Fathers and Mentors Into Your Life25:02 - Stop Waiting to Be Chosen—Pursue Father Figures26:11 - How to Send Your Questions to BraveCoCONNECT WITH BRAVECOJoin Our Free Community for Men (ladies, sign up your man): https://www.braveco.orgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/braveco.menInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/braveco.men/Shop: https://shop.braveco.org/ ABOUT BRAVECO: We live in a time where men are hunting for the truth and looking for the codebook to manhood.

"In an age of speed, I began to think, nothing could be more invigorating than going slow. In an age of distraction, nothing can feel more luxurious than paying attention." — Pico Iyer How do you feel when you have nothing to do but enjoy your surroundings? Where nothing is urgent, and you can enjoy the moment you are in?  Never felt it? Maybe that's a problem you need to fix. Today's world makes us feel that everything must be done now, yet it doesn't. If you were to slow down, step back from time to time to think, you'd get a lot more important things done and eliminate much of what is unnecessary.  Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin Join the Time And Life Mastery Programme here.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  Slow down. There, I've said it.  If there were one distinguishing characteristic of those who control how they spend their time and when, it would be that they are slow.  Not in a negative way, more in an intentional way. They meet their deadlines, are never late for appointments and have clearly had time to read through the meeting preparation notes.  Even in one of the most stressful occupations, that of being a special forces soldier, they are trained to slow down. The US Navy SEALs have the expression “slow is smooth. Smooth is fast”, and I know from talking with former members of the UK Special Forces that a large part of their training is focused on slowing down and being deliberate with their actions. Of course, the problem here is that when you're faced with twelve urgent Teams messages, you have five missed calls from an important customer, and your next appointment is about to start, the last thing your instincts will tell you to do is to slow down.  Yet it is precisely in those situations that slowing down and being intentional about what you do next is what you do.  Slowing down calms your over-anxious mind, and when your mind is calm, you make better, more rational decisions.  And slowing down is what this week's question is all about. So, to kick us off, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question.  This week's question comes from Hanna. Hanna asks, Hi Carl, I work in a very busy Pharmaceutical company, and from the moment I step through the door at work, it feels like chaos. My phone never seems to stop ringing, and my Teams feed looks like it's alive. It's always moving! The day's a blur. What can I do to slow things down and regain some control? Hi Hanna. Thank you for your question.  One of the things I've learned is that we do have control over the speed of the day. I know often it feels like we don't, but we do.  The reason is that we always have choices, even when it often feels like we don't. You can choose to answer your phone or let it run to voicemail. You can choose to answer those urgent Teams messages immediately or not, and you can choose to go to the staff rest area and make yourself a nice cup of tea.  Unfortunately, it's natural for us to head straight into the storm of those phone calls and messages. And when we do that, we start conditioning ourselves to do it consistently.  Yet maybe the best thing you can do is pause, make that cup of tea, and strategically plan your approach.  This is often what I call the tactical retreat. Step back, pause, and look at what's currently on your plate and your most important tasks for the day.  However, you will only be able to do that if you can move from being a firefighter to becoming a fire prevention officer.  Firefighters charge straight into every issue with only one intention: putting the fire out. Fire prevention officers: pause, look at the bigger picture, and seek ways to prevent the fires from starting in the first place.  In all companies, you need both types of people. You're not going to prevent every crisis or urgent issue. Yet many can be prevented.  I gave one example in last week's episode.  If you have ten equally urgent messages to reply to, you're going to have to choose which one to respond to first.  If you don't have a process or a strategy for handling that situation, you will panic. Panicking slows you down because the act of panicking creates a lot of activity, yet nothing happens to deal with the messages.  The strategy I suggested was to use the first-in-first-out approach. Deal with the oldest first. This way, even if the last message you received is from your angry boss, at least you won't have to deal with eight angry customers as well.  And let's be honest, if you were to give yourself fifteen minutes to deal with these messages, nobody would be waiting more than fifteen minutes for your response.  There is one trick you can use every day that will help you slow things down. That is to protect the first thirty minutes of the day to get a handle on the day.  Hopefully, you won't have a crisis every day, but those first thirty minutes give you a chance to review your Teams messages, emails, and your plan for the day. You can also speak with your colleagues to see what's happening and deal with anything urgent that popped up at the start of the day.  More often than not, you won't need the full thirty minutes, but you have it protected, and on the days you don't need it, you can make yourself that lovely cup of tea.  Another trick is to give yourself a proper screen break between work sessions.  Now, this will depend on the kind of work you do. If you were a graphic designer, an accountant or a journalist, a lot of your work would be spent sitting in front of a computer screen.  If you were to stop after ninety minutes, get up, and walk somewhere for ten minutes without a screen, that screen break would give you time to stop and think. That thinking might be what element you can add or remove from the design you are creating, or where to place a particular paragraph in the article you are currently writing.  Getting away from your screen allows your brain to relax. It's when your brain is relaxed that you make better, more rational decisions.  Yet, when we are under deadline pressure, stepping away for ten minutes is often the last thing we feel we should do.  When you return, allow yourself 20 minutes to address any messages that may have come in while you were locked away doing focused work.  Sometimes I find it helpful to look at the messages before I take the ten-minute break. That way, I can think about the responses while I'm relaxed.  If you've found yourself reacting without thinking all the time, and from the moment you wake up, it feels like you're go-go-go, that may be a sign you need to retrain your brain to slow down.  The best way to do this is to set aside 30 to 45 minutes each morning. This time must be focused on you. Not your partner or kids. It's time dedicated to yourself.  You could write a journal or develop a slow, deliberate morning coffee ritual. Perhaps you could add some light stretching or go out for a morning walk.  As long as it's focused on you and the things you enjoy doing, you'll find that this morning routine helps to rewire your brain to slow down.  Now for an unusual one.  Avoid unnecessary conveniences.  Part of the Reason we all feel rushed today is the speed at which things can be done. We can order home-delivered food, have our laundry picked up and delivered clean and ironed, order our weekly supermarket shop online, and have it delivered straight to our door later that day or the next.  Convenient, yes. Good for us, no. I recently saw a video about why people in the UK began gaining weight alarmingly from around the late 1970s onwards.  Yes, there was a shift in our diet. In 1979, Marks and Spencer introduced their first ready meal. It was their famous chicken Kiev, and it sparked a revolution in how families cooked.  The M&S chicken Kiev was introduced at around the same time microwave ovens began taking off, and suddenly people were eating ready-made meals.  No more “real” cooking. Boiling vegetables, cooking meat, it was pre-packaged and additive-riddled food that could be cooked in less than ten minutes.  Then there were more and more convenient ways to travel. People stopped walking to the shops. People working in offices would walk the two metres to their car in the morning, drive to their office, park in the underground carpark, and walk the five metres to the lift (elevator) to arrive at their office, having walked no more than ten metres.  Then to spend the rest of the day sitting behind a desk.  All in the name of convenience.  Yet, this convenience is causing us to speed up.  Walking is one of the best ways for us to slow down. It's one reason why studies show owning a dog can reduce stress and improve health. Dogs need walking. For me, walking Louis is one of my favourite times of the day. I get to think without a screen, get some fresh air and relax.  And given that Louis will stop and investigate every tree and lamp post, it's a slow walk.  And the final tip is to plan your day before you finish the day.  In other words, give yourself ten to fifteen minutes before you close out the day to review your appointments for tomorrow, curate your task list for the day based on how much time you have between meetings, and allow for the unknowns—there are some.  Then pick your two must-do tasks, make sure they are highlighted and stop.  You cannot do everything in one day, but doing a little often moves things forward, and soon things you thought would take hours are almost complete.  Yet, in my experience, the most significant cause of our feeling that we have no control over our day or time is the way many people are chained to a screen.  The current statistics indicate that over 7 hours a day are spent in front of a screen (and that does not include TVs).  The problem here is that messages, emails, news alerts and much more are a constant stream. The more time you spend looking at your screen, the more anxiety you feel that you are falling behind with everything. When this happens, you are no longer in control; instead, your devices are controlling you.  Yet if you were to go out for a twenty-minute walk after lunch, or do your own grocery shopping each week, you would find yourself slowing down naturally.  Add that to perhaps reading a real book in the evening and spending 30 to 40 minutes in the morning doing yoga, meditation, or journaling. You'll find that much of the speed anxiety many of you feel will start to disappear.  As for walking into your workplace and getting caught up in the rush of things, take a deep breath, make sure you know what your two most important items of work for that day are, and between sessions of work, get up, move around, make yourself some tea or coffee and think about what one thing you need to do next.  I hope that helps, Hanna. Thank you for your question, and thank you to you too for listening. It just remains for me now to wish you all a very, very productive week.   

We’re nervous. We’re excited. We’re nervous and excited. Because it’s Mary freaking Fowler day.

The Reason editors answer your questions on policy, politics, pop culture, and more in this annual webathon event.

Host Doug Stuart welcomes back Katherine Mangu-Ward, Editor-in-Chief at Reason and co-host of the Reason Roundtable, for a candid conversation about what it means to be "the normal person in the room"—especially as a libertarian. Together, they unpack the challenges and rewards of approaching political dialogue with humility, common ground, and empathy rather than combative debate tactics. Katherine Mangu-Ward shares her evolution from zealous young debater to a more seasoned, thoughtful advocate for liberty, reflecting on the importance of reading the room, resisting the urge to "win" arguments, and planting seeds for long-term change.The conversation also dives into common libertarian stereotypes, the pitfalls of contrarianism, and the temptation of conspiracy thinking—especially in a post-COVID world. They discuss the importance of rhetorical strategy, the value of gradual versus radical reform, hypocrisy-detecting instincts, and why demonstrating real-life alternatives to state solutions is both necessary and inspiring. From personal anecdotes to reflections on political polarization, this episode offers practical wisdom for libertarians and anyone interested in effective, principled conversations about freedom.Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Use code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Podsworth Ad Read BEFORE & AFTER processing:https://youtu.be/vbsOEODpQGs  ★ Support this podcast ★

The Vatican study commission on the female diaconate recently released its findings: while it does not support a sacramental form of the female diaconate at this time, it leaves the door open for the magisterium to reconsider in the future. Meanwhile, a non-sacramental female diaconate is still possible today. What does this really mean for […]

Have you ever noticed how, in certain seasons of life, several people around you seem to struggle in their relationships all at once? Almost like these things move in waves?Sometimes these couples are good people with good intentions — people who genuinely care, but simply don't have the tools or perspectives to navigate conflict or connection. Those situations are painful, but they're fixable with the right support.And other times… when the situation is not “a rough patch.”It's a bad relationship.There are behaviors that make the relationship feel heavy, tense, or unsafe...And patterns that leave you feeling small, tense, or on edge…And despite the pain, the fear, and the exhaustion — people stay.So the real question is:Why do we stay in relationships that are hurting us? Why do we work so hard to hold onto someone who isn't good for us? Why does being alone feel scarier than staying?In this week's episode of Heal Your Relationships, I break down the three core reasons we stay stuck in toxic or deeply dysfunctional dynamics.These reasons are not about weakness.They're not about failure.They are about psychology, attachment, and emotional survival.And once you understand them, you can finally begin to heal your patterns instead of repeating them.Timestamps:01:35 — A birthday week reflection02:26 — When “good people” struggle in relationships (and why it's fixable)03:20 — When it's more than conflict — it's abuse04:29 — My definition of a toxic relationship05:33 — Why people stay in bad relationships for years06:53 — Reason #1: Anxious attachment11:59 — Reason #2: Trauma bonding15:40 — Reason #3: Fear of abandonment17:57 — How all three lead to low self-esteem19:00 — The stories we tell ourselves to justify staying21:12 — How our programs and events help you heal these patternsTry one change this week:If you're in a relationship that feels painful or stuck, gently ask yourself:“Which of these three patterns am I living out?”Not to shame yourself.Not to force a decision.But to speak the truth to yourself — the first and most essential step in healing.This episode is not about telling you to stay or leave.It's about naming what's real so you can finally choose your next step from clarity instead of fear.If this episode gives you even one moment of recognition or self-compassion, it has done its job.Oh—and if you have something you're navigating and would love my take on it...

Philosopher Stefan Molyneux tackles whether humans can think without anthropomorphic biases, drawing insights from discussions with AI. We explore the impact of biases on our reasoning and the importance of critiquing authority figures like parents. The conversation questions the reliability of knowledge, highlighting how narratives are influenced by power dynamics.I discuss the challenges posed by economic dependencies and social pressures on objectivity, as well as psychological barriers that hinder admitting errors. The episode invites listeners to reflect on their relationship with truth and engage with the complexities of bias and rational discourse.The listener's question:"Do humans, even, have the ability to think and philosophize with absolutely zero anthropomorphic bias? The more I discuss philosophy with AI the more of my own anthropomorphic bias I find in my own arguments. This can serve to invalidate or at the very least undermine much of our philosophical ideas."SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025
