What if rest isn't something you earn - but something you deserve?In this powerful minisode, host Karen Dwyer reflects on her laugh-out-loud, heart-opening chat with Wendy Riordan - founder of Nourish and Flow Festival and co-founder of Pitched Perfect Tents.Together, they unpacked why women are still running on empty, how burnout has become normalised, and why permission to pause might be the most radical act of self-care. This solo episode is a love letter to every woman who's tired of pushing through and ready to come back to herself.Whether you're deep in survival mode or just craving a little more space to breathe — this one's for you.

Welcome to Day 2666 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theology Thursday – “Cosmic Geography” – Supernatural Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2666 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2666 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Today, we begin a new focus on the 5th of 16 segments of our Theology Thursday lessons. I will read through the book "Supernatural," written by Hebrew Bible scholar, professor, and mentor Dr. Michael S. Heiser, who has since passed away. Supernatural is a condensed version of his comprehensive book, ‘The Unseen Realm.' If these readings pique your interest, I would recommend that you read ‘The Unseen Realm.' Today, we will read through chapter five: “Cosmic Geography.” The divine transgressions we looked at in the previous podcast had something in common. They were both supernatural rebellions aimed at co-opting God's plan for humanity and the restoration of his rule. In this podcast we'll look at another rebellion, one that originated with people. This rebellion produced a predicament that we're all still part of, and that predicament involves supernatural beings. The titanic struggle for God's restoration strategy took a turn for the worse that only the return of Jesus will finally resolve. The Tower of Babel The story of the Tower of Babel (Gen. 11:1–9) is simultaneously one of the best-known and least-understood accounts in the Bible. Children learn about it in Sunday school as the time when God confused earth's human languages. After the flood, God repeated the command he'd given to Adam and Eve to cover the earth. He was trying to kick-start the spread of his ruling influence through humanity. Once again, it didn't work. People refused. Rebellion in their hearts, they had a better idea, or so they thought. They decided to build a tower to avoid being scattered (Gen. 11:4). The logic seems odd. Sure, an amazing tower would make them famous (Gen. 11:4), but how would that prevent scattering across the earth? The answer lies in the tower. Bible scholars and archaeologists know ancient Babylon and cities around it built towers called ziggurats. The purpose of the ziggurats was to provide places where people could meet the gods. They were part of temple zones. Rather than make the world like Eden—to spread the knowledge and rule of God everywhere—the people wanted to bring God down at one spot. That wasn't God's plan, and he wasn't pleased. Hence his statement—again to the members of his council—“Let us go down and mix up their language” (Gen. 11:7 gnt, emphasis added). God did so, and humanity was separated and scattered. The incident explains how the nations listed a chapter earlier in Genesis 10 came to be. That's the story most Christians know. Now for the one they don't. The Gods and Their Nations Genesis 11 isn't the only passage that describes what happened at the Tower of Babel. Deuteronomy 32:8–9 describes it this way: When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when he divided mankind, he fixed the borders of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God. But the Lord's portion is his people, Jacob his allotted heritage. Some Bible translations have “sons of Israel” instead of “sons of God” in that first sentence. But Israel didn't exist at the time of the Tower of Babel. God only called Abraham after Babel...

In this special Independence Day episode, Brad Zerbo and Abbey Blue Eyes celebrate America's revolutionary spirit with a marathon showcase of short, AI-generated profiles of the Founding Fathers and early patriots. They walk through videos from the White House and PragerU highlighting figures like Thomas Hayward Jr., Elbridge Gerry, William Floyd, John Hancock, Martha Washington, Betsy Ross, and more, discussing their sacrifices, principles, and the powerful idea that liberty must be claimed, not given. Brad and Abbey connect the founders' stories to modern struggles, comparing British tyranny to today's tax burdens, censorship, and globalist overreach. Along the way, they share personal memories, reflect on the symbolism of the American flag, and underscore how spiritual conviction and grit built the nation. The show wraps with a dramatic Patrick Henry reenactment and a heartfelt reminder that freedom requires vigilance, courage, and the willingness to stand up, even when it's unpopular. It's an inspiring mix of history, humor, and patriotism perfect for the Fourth of July.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, host Hunter invites us into the first day of July—day 183 in our journey through the Scriptures. Together, we explore Isaiah chapters 1-3, where we witness God's call for justice and mercy, alongside Titus chapter 3, which reminds us of the transformative power of God's grace. Hunter reflects on the reality of judgment described by Isaiah and the hope of redemption found in Christ, as shared in Titus. After our readings, we're guided through heartfelt prayers, encouragement to seek God's presence in creation, and a reminder that no matter our circumstance, we are deeply loved. So, settle in and let's spend some time soaking in God's Word and His goodness together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Once upon a time, there was judgment. We lived under the weight of our own rebellion—the consequences of turning from God, of choosing our own way instead of his. Rebellion, with all its promises of freedom and fulfillment, always ends up bringing something much different: judgment, pain, and brokenness. The prophet Isaiah paints a vivid picture of what it's like to be estranged from the One who loves us most. We see the heartbreak of a Father whose children have turned their backs, the emptiness of religious rituals without heart, and the devastation that comes from ignoring justice and mercy. But Isaiah doesn't just show us ruin—he points to hope. Even when God's people are stained and burdened, he pleads with them: “Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow.” In the darkest places, he offers the promise of restoration, of lives made new by his mercy. Then, in Titus, the story turns. We are reminded: judgment isn't the whole story. “When God our Savior revealed his kindness and love, he saved us—not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy.” God's grace breaks through. Through Jesus, our sins are washed away, our lives are reborn, and we are given confidence of eternal life. Salvation isn't earned; it's poured out—generously—through the Holy Spirit. This is the story of God's grace: the story that redefines everything. Once, we lived under judgment. But now, there is a Savior. The door is wide open for return, renewal, and relationship with the living God. Mercy triumphs over judgment, and we are called anew into his light. Let us lean into that story today. Let's receive the mercy that is ours in Christ, let his Spirit renew and restore us, and remember that every new day is a testimony to his kindness. May we walk in the knowledge that God is our Father, not our enemy—always ready to welcome us home, always making a way for restoration. That's the prayer I have for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that is the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Jesus is my shepherd. You have called me by my name into the life of the beloved. Here in the stillness, I remember that I am not alone. I belong to you and to the great communion of saints and sinners held together in your love. Remind me, Lord, that every breath is grace, every encounter is a chance to give what I have received—mercy without measure. When I forget who I am, when I lose my way, lead me again to still waters. Restore my soul, renew my hope. Reroute me in the joy of simply being yours. Amen. And now, as our Lord has taught us, we are bold to pray. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.   OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL

In this episode Jonathan welcomes back Erin Doumert: Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, integration coach, and author of The Essential Practice. Together, they dive into the messy, nonlinear path of true healing, exploring how we move from coping to deep transformation.Erin shares the behind-the-scenes story of publishing her book and the pushback she received for challenging mainstream paradigms. They discuss the four steps in her healing framework: seeking to understand, forgiving, showing up as your best, and exploring your truth. This conversation is a real-time integration journey, weaving together themes of inner child healing, spiritual rebellion, nervous system capacity, and the sacredness of rest.Whether you're navigating expanded states or just trying to get through the day, this episode is a reminder that healing is possible—and it starts with showing up for yourself.

Was the American War of Independence an unrighteous act of rebellion against God-appointed authority or a legitimate effort at seeking peace that generally followed Biblical principles? What conclusion should we come to if we look at the American Revolution through the lens of a passage like Romans 13? In this episode, we try to do exactly that. Romans 13 is often used as the go-to passage for understanding submitting to authority, but often it is discussed very shallowly if not completely incorrectly. Early on in the discussion, we note that this passage does not say to submit yourself to the higher power (singular), but to the higher powers. And in every circumstance, there is always more than one authority that God has appointed. This is undeniably true of the American Revolution. In many ways, the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and the entire American Revolution serve as an ideal case study for this type of discussion. One reason for this is because, at least for those of us in the US, it is our own history and is not so far in the past that the details have been lost to time. Another reason is that fallen man has a natural desire to be rebellious, and even in Christian circles, American independence is often associated with rebellion and this association is often used to justify rebellion. But it's also worth pointing out that no effort of man is without sin.

Episode Summary: Host Rick Taylar explores how decades of dieting have taught us to distrust our body's natural hunger and fullness signals. Through compelling stories and practical insights, this episode reveals how the diet industry profits from our self-doubt and offers a revolutionary approach: learning to listen to your body's wisdom again. Rick guides listeners through the process of becoming "body detectives" and rebuilding trust with their most reliable wellness coach - their own stomach.Important Points Covered: The diet industry deliberately teaches us to distrust our natural hunger and fullness signals because there's no profit in self-trust Your brain runs on "outdated software" from times of food scarcity, while your stomach operates on millions of years of refined wisdom about what your body truly needs Physical hunger develops gradually and can be satisfied with various foods, while emotional hunger appears suddenly and craves specific comfort foods that won't actually address the underlying emotionThe "Apple Test" - if an apple sounds good when you think you're hungry, it's likely physical hunger; if you're craving specific foods like pizza or chips, it's probably emotional hungerEating 20% slower and checking in with your body halfway through meals helps you reconnect with natural fullness signals that indicate satisfaction, not just "not hungry anymore"Learning to trust your body's food signals often extends to trusting other body wisdom about rest, stress, relationships, and major life decisionsYour body has been your most reliable guide all along - you just need to stop arguing with it and start listening. This week, try rating your hunger before meals, checking in halfway through, and simply noticing what your body is telling you without trying to fix anything yet. The rebellion against diet culture starts with rebuilding trust with yourself, one meal at a time.

As Labour rebels appear to have forced concessions from Keir Starmer over welfare this week, former Conservative MP Steve Baker joins James Heale to reflect on his own time as a rebel, and to provide some advice to Labour MPs. Steve, an MP for 14 years and a minister under Theresa May, Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak, tells James about the different rebellions he was a part of (from Brexit to Covid), explains how to organise a successful one and reveals how he has lost close friends when he has made the decision to compromise.He also blames Labour's problems on their ‘bombs not benefits' approach, explains why the current welfare rebellion demonstrates that ‘the facts of life are Conservative' and argues that it has been a mistake for the Conservatives not the support Labour's original approach to reducing the winter fuel allowance.Produced by Patrick Gibbons and Megan McElroy.

Dr. Reedy discusses how rebellion is a response to a situation where the project of individuation is threatened or stalled. He explains that individuation is the answer to the soul's longing for itself. He invites listeners to consider disregarding what they were taught about parenting, children and even this broadcast. He explained the attachment requires that we accept the premise that “our children are not our children.” (Gibran)

In this episode we welcome Dr. Michael Morales—professor of biblical studies at Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary—for a conversation exploring the profound theological vision of the book of Numbers. Drawing from his newly released two-volume commentary in the Apollos Old Testament Commentary series, Dr. Morales unveils Numbers as more than ancient census lists and wilderness wanderings. Instead, it emerges as a richly textured narrative of covenant community, leadership, and the Lord's presence among his people. Listeners will discover how the structure of Israel's camp reflects Edenic hope and eschatological promise, how Numbers addresses the roles of prophet, priest, and king, and why the priestly blessing and Balaam's oracles form theological bookends to this journey toward the Promised Land. Dr. Morales also shares personal reflections from his ten-year labor on the commentary, emphasizing the pastoral power and redemptive-historical depth of this often-overlooked book. Whether you're a pastor, seminary student, or serious Bible reader, this conversation will reinvigorate your love for the Pentateuch and deepen your grasp of how all Scripture points us to Christ.

Think the billable hour is just the way things are in law? Think again. In this eye-opening conversation, guest host Bridgit Norris sits down with The Subscription Attorney Mathew Kerbis, who shares how shifting to a subscription-based legal model can transform your practice—financially, operationally, and ethically. Mathew, founder of Subscription Attorney LLC and host of the Law Subscribed podcast, offers affordable, automation-powered legal services starting at just $20 a month. You'll discover why traditional firm structures are failing both lawyers and clients—and how a modern, recurring-revenue model can help you build a scalable practice without burnout. If you're tired of chasing hours, confused about AI's role in your firm, or ready to design a legal business that supports your life—not consumes it—this episode is your permission slip to evolve. Your law firm deserves better, and so do you.Key Takeaways from Bridgit and Mathew:1. The Billable Hour Is a Broken Business ModelMany lawyers operate within a system that punishes efficiency and incentivizes burnout.Once you stop tracking time and start delivering outcome-based value, a better way of practicing becomes not just possible, but inevitable.2. Recurring Revenue Brings Predictability and ImpactSubscription-based legal services make it easier to serve clients proactively while generating stable, recurring income.Instead of chasing invoices and hours, lawyers can focus on meaningful client work that builds long-term relationships.3. Subscription Models Are Flexible Enough for Any PracticeFrom family law to immigration and even litigation, flat-fee and tiered subscription structures can be designed to accommodate complexity and shifting case dynamics.What matters is communicating the scope and pricing thresholds upfront.4. AI + Alternative Fees = Scalable, Leaner FirmsLaw firms can now scale without scaling staff by leveraging AI tools to enhance—not replace—human expertise.Firms that embrace AI see higher-quality work done faster and cheaper, making traditional staffing models less necessary.5. There's a Massive Market the Legal Industry Is IgnoringWith over 75% of legal needs going unmet, the industry is leaving behind a $1.3 trillion opportunity.Firms that rethink how they serve and price legal help can tap into this underserved market while making law more accessible to everyone. "The only people who are going to lose their jobs in this AI-powered world are employees who refuse to leverage AI." — Mathew KerbisGet in touch with Mathew Kerbis:Website: https://mathewkerbis.com/ & https://subscriptionattorney.com/Show: Law Subscribed: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/law-subscribed/id1586707101LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kerbisverse/Are you a high-achieving woman in law ready to become a powerhouse CEO?Then HER Law was built for you.

Welcome to Day 2661 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theology Thursday – “Divine Rebellions” – Supernatural Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2661 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2661 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Today, we begin a new focus on this 4th of 16 segments of our Theology Thursday lessons. I will read through the book Supernatural, written by Hebrew Bible scholar, professor, and mentor, the late Dr. Michael S. Heiser. Supernatural is a condensed version of his comprehensive book ‘The Unseen Realm.' If these readings pique your interest, I would recommend that you read ‘The Unseen Realm.' Today, we will read through chapter two: ‘Divine Rebellions.' I ended the previous Theology Thursday poscast with the thought that free will in the hands of imperfect beings, whether divine or human, can have disastrous results. That's an understatement. Some catastrophes in the early chapters of the Bible, all of them involving both humans and supernatural beings, illustrate the point. Recall that God decided to share his authority with both divine beings in the supernatural realm and human beings on earth. That was the backdrop to God's statement, “Let us make humankind in our image” (Gen. 1:26, emphasis added) and the fact that God then created humans in his image. Spiritual beings and humans are imagers of God. We share his authority and represent him as co-rulers. On one hand, that was a wonderful decision. Free will is part of being like God. We couldn't be like him if we didn't have it. Without free will, concepts like love and self-sacrifice die. If you are merely programmed to “love,” there is no decision in it. It isn't real. Scripted words and acts aren't genuine. Thinking about this takes me back to the last of the original Star Wars movies, The Return of the Jedi. The spirit of Obi-Wan Kenobi tells Luke his father, Darth Vader, “is more machine now than man.” And yet, in the end, we find that isn't true. Vader saves Luke from the emperor at the cost of his own life. He wasn't just a programmed machine. His decision came from the heart, his humanity—his own free will. But there's a dark side to God's decision. Granting intelligent beings freedom means they can and will make wrong choices or intentionally rebel. And that's basically guaranteed to happen, since the only truly perfect being is God. He's the only one he can really trust. This is why things could, and did, go wrong in Eden. Trouble in Paradise. Think about the setting in Eden. Adam and Eve aren't alone. God is there with his council. Eden is the divine/human headquarters for “subduing” the rest of the earth (Gen. 1:26–28)—spreading the life of Eden to the rest of the planet. But at least one member of the council isn't happy with God's plans. Just as we saw in Genesis 1, there are hints in Genesis 3 that Eden is home to other divine beings. In verse 22, after Adam and Eve have sinned, God says: “Behold, the man has become like one of us in knowing good and evil” (emphasis added). That phrase is the same sort of signpost we saw in Genesis 1:26 (“our image”). We know the main character of Genesis 3, the Serpent, was not really a...

In these two explosive broadcasts, Tara exposes a nation in freefall. First, she unpacks the shocking primary win of socialist Zohran Mamdani in New York City—a rebellion not only against Republicans, but against establishment Democrats like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries. With white, college-educated liberal women leading the charge, a wave of progressive radicalism threatens to dismantle the city's financial core, sending wealthy residents fleeing. Meanwhile in Washington, a little-known Senate parliamentarian quietly kills a provision blocking welfare for illegal immigrants—revealing how unelected bureaucrats can override the will of voters and lawmakers. Tara then turns her fire toward the intelligence community and media, accusing them of manipulating facts about Iran's nuclear program to undermine Donald Trump. The result: a blistering critique of deep-state control, socialist creep, and the growing disconnect between American leadership and the people they're supposed to serve.

In this fiery segment, Tara and Lee dissect the stunning primary victory of socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani in New York City, calling it a full-scale rebellion against establishment Democrat leadership. They break down how AOC and progressive allies outmaneuvered party elites, warning that years of Marxist indoctrination are now backfiring. From critiques of the Democrat primary process to fears of speech control, economic collapse, and rising anti-American sentiment, the hosts portray Mamdani's win as the beginning of a radical transformation — and an exodus. With references to Bernie Sanders, Eric Adams, and international law, they paint a picture of a city (and party) at war with itself.

Keir Starmer is facing war on both fronts. He is in the Netherlands to talk about defence and announce a major change in the UK's nuclear posture in response to rising challenges in the Middle East. But everyone in Westminster wants to talk about a different kind of warfare: the warfare over welfare. MPs will vote on the government's controversial welfare bill, after more than 120 MPs signed a reasoned amendment that would effectively stop the bill in its tracks. What has been most concerning for the government is how organised the rebellion appears, with many picking up on the mutinous mood since Kim Leadbeater's assisted dying bill. The government is increasingly looking like it will lose the vote. Are Labour going to pull the bill? And if so, surely they need to do it sooner rather than later.Lucy Dunn speaks to James Heale and John McTernan, former political adviser to Tony Blair.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.
