Garcelle Beauvais has a lot to say lately about Erika, Boz, Sutton and her ex RHOBH co-stars before shutting down all sorts of talk about her past life as a Housewife while out promoting her new Lifetime film.  Turns out Teresa is more desperate than we thought having turned to cousin Kathy Wakile for a reconciliation before her absolute last choice, Joe and Melissa Gorga.  Last, but not least, Wendy Osefo demands that all of her charges be dismissed accusing police of an illegal arrest.  @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (Use Code VELVET For 20% Off Plus Free Shipping on the Original Anti-Nausea Wristband) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) THEREALREAL - therealreal.com/velvetrope (Get $25 Off At the Best Place To Shop Authenticated Luxury Bags, Clothing, Watches & more) THE KARDASHIANS - (The Kardashians Season 7 Premieres October 23rd On Hulu) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor As we compare Colossians 3 with Philemon 1 we see an application of the Gospel to two men's lives. How did the transformation of Philemon's and Onesimus' hearts lead to radical reconciliation that displayed the glorification of God? While the gospel isn't written out in the book of Philemon we do see the gospel lived out in a way that can change the most conflicted of relationships in our lives.

Questions about how to reconcile the image of God as a judge with his love, grace, and kindness, why our sins are considered to be sins against God, and whether the idea that our debt was paid by Christ means we escape the penalty for our sins by right, not grace.   For most of my life, God has been portrayed to me primarily as a judge—watching closely, ready to point out where I fall short. But I'm learning there's more to him than that. How do I begin to reconcile that image with the reality of his love, grace, and kindness? If I commit a sin against someone but then make amends and ask for forgiveness, how is it that I've also sinned against God, and why would God still need to punish me? If Christ was literally punished for our sins and our debt was paid, then how can it be said we are “forgiven”? Wouldn't we escape the penalty by right, not grace?

Jesus treats those who are actively against Him with love, boldness, and truth. We follow Christ knowing that He defeats both His and our enemies, allowing us to not fear man's authority, arguments, or approval. The freedom we have is in the fear of God, the one who took our sin and shame on the cross and gives us newness of life.

In hour 3, Ross Tucker is live with the WIP Midday Show to breakdown everything from the Eagles first loss of the season vs the Denver Broncos. Ross brings up an interesting thing with the report that Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown with Saquon Barkley playing the role of mediator had a multi hour conversation to reconcile over recent drama. Plus, beginning to look for potential Rob Thomson replacements!

If we cannot do so then Grace must also pass away.

On Sunday morning, our sermon series continued with Joseph and his brothers reunited, though, not how you may think. As his brothers appear before him, they don't recognize him- but Joseph recognizes them. We hope this sermon blesses you in the Lord. Originally October 6th, 2025. Hank Atchison. Covenant Church.

Send us a textThat gut-wrenching moment when you discover your spouse has betrayed you doesn't come with a clear roadmap forward. The decision to stay or leave after infidelity isn't as simple as others might suggest, especially when well-meaning friends confidently declare what they "would do" without ever having faced such devastation themselves.As a trauma-informed life coach who navigated my own marriage after betrayal, I've identified ten major obstacles that complicate this critical life decision. Fear of regret often paralyzes us – what if leaving is a mistake? What if staying means wasting more precious years? For parents, concern about children's wellbeing weighs heavily, though we must consider whether modeling an unhealthy relationship truly benefits them in the long run.The complex emotional landscape after betrayal includes lingering love for your spouse despite their actions, grief over shared history and identity loss, and shame about either staying or leaving. Financial fears intensify the stakes, especially for those who've been financially dependent. Uncertainty looms large – can your spouse truly change? Will you need to uproot your entire life? And the self-blame your unfaithful partner likely encouraged keeps you questioning your own worth and responsibility.Most importantly, betrayal trauma throws your body into survival mode – fight, flight, or freeze – making clear decisions nearly impossible until you've begun healing. Before deciding your marriage's future, focus on regaining your emotional footing. Connect with resources that understand betrayal's unique challenges, whether therapy, coaching, or selective confidants who won't simply project their own perspectives onto your situation.Remember: there's no universal "right answer" about staying or leaving after infidelity. What matters is making the choice that aligns with your values, needs, and vision for your future. You deserve thoughtful support as you navigate this crossroads and create your own version of "happily even after" – with or without your current partner. Wherever your path leads, healing is possible.Please follow me on instagram and facebook @happilyevenaftercoach and if you want to see what coaching is all about I offer a free 45 min. clarity call via zoom.

Cancel culture seems to demand that we choose sides—cutting off, calling out, and canceling others with little room for redemption. But what does a Gospel response look like? How do we teach our daughters to stand firm in their faith without returning fire with fire?  In this Thursday episode, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Natalie Ambrose dig deep into how the divide created by cancel culture can be reconciled—not through compromise, but through Christ. Rooted in the ministry of reconciliation described in 2 Corinthians 5, this episode explores what it means to be a peacemaker in a polarized world and how to help your daughter hold truth and grace in tension.  From toddler playground scuffles to teenaged social dynamics, cancel culture is showing up in your daughter's life earlier than ever. But instead of teaching her to cancel back, this conversation invites you to cast a different vision—one that prioritizes empathy, identity in Christ, spiritual maturity, and prayer for those who oppose her.  You'll walk away with:  A Gospel-centered framework for responding to cancel culture  Real-life language to help your daughter approach conflict differently  3 practical jumping-off points to move her from canceling to reconciling  AHG resources like GRIT with Grace that equip girls to practice Biblical unity in their everyday relationships  As American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Emeritus Patti Garibay reminds us in this week's Raising Godly Girls Minute, our differences are not a threat—they are an opportunity to celebrate the body of Christ in its fullness. Unity doesn't mean sameness; it means choosing love in the face of division.  Scripture References:  Genesis 6 – God grieves humanity's wickedness  Isaiah 5:20 – “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil...”  2 Corinthians 5:17–20 – Ministry of reconciliation  Romans 14:1–12 – Unity in the body despite differences  Matthew 5:43–44 – “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you”  Revelation 7:9 – A vision of heaven's diversity: every tribe, nation, and tongue  2 Timothy 1:7 – Spirit of power, love, and self-discipline  Our girls don't need to be cultural chameleons—they need to be Gospel lights. Teach her to lead with conviction, but love like Christ.  Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com.    To find or start an AHG Troop in your area, visit americanheritagegirls.org.

Can estranged family relationships actually be repaired? Drawing from research on reconciliation, Whitney outlines the five core ingredients necessary for genuine repair - active empathetic listening, accountability, behavioral change, mutual willingness, and safety. Whitney distinguishes between genuine repair efforts and surface-level compliance, explains when relationships are likely unsalvageable, and provides practical guidance for assessing whether reconciliation is truly possible or if it's time to accept the relationship's limitations.

Brian Thompson returns for a solo episode packed with practical advice to help entrepreneurs take charge of their numbers. In this mini masterclass, you'll learn how to use your profit and loss, balance sheet, and reconciliation reports more effectively. Whether you love or loathe spreadsheets, this episode gives you the tools to pause, reflect, and make strategic financial decisions to set yourself up for success in the second half of the year. How To Conduct A Mid-Year Financial Review 1. Reconcile and clean up your books First, set aside at least 90 minutes to focus without distractions. Before analyzing anything, make sure your books are clean: Start with reconciliation: Check that your accounting software matches your actual bank transactions and credit card balances. Review your categories: Go through your chart of accounts to ensure expenses are correctly categorized. Review your balance sheet: Ensure your cash balances, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other liabilities align with what you expect. If not, dig deeper to understand why. 2. Analyze your profit and loss statement Run a profit and loss (P&L) report for the period from January through June and analyze the data: Analyze your revenue: Compare your actual revenue to your goals and prior years. If you offer multiple types of service, break down which ones are driving your revenue and which ones may be underperforming. Analyze your expenses: Look for surprises, categories that you are over budget in, and for subscriptions or tools you no longer use. Calculate your gross and net profit: Ensure you are maintaining healthy margins, and if margins are shrinking, find out why. Look for trends: When looking at the big picture, make sure all the pieces fit together. For instance, if you're spending more on marketing as an expense, you'd expect to have a corresponding higher revenue. 3. Examine your cash flow Cash flow is not just about what you earn -- it's also about what you keep. Use the following steps to make sure cash is flowing into and out of your business strategically: Check your bucket allocations: If you use the bucket system, ensure you are still transferring funds consistently to your various business accounts and that your percentages are still realistic based on current revenue. Review your operating cash flow: Ensure cash is coming in faster than it's going out and that you aren't relying too heavily on credit to cover gaps. Check your accounts receivable: This step is one of the easiest ways to increase your cash flow quickly by following up on outstanding invoices and consistently enforcing your payment terms. Evaluate large expenses: Consider whether you should delay or accelerate spending based on your cash position. 4. Use your mid-year review to propel your business forward Once you understand your numbers in detail, it's time to turn your insights into action: Set or reset financial goals: Use your findings to update your targets for the second half of the year. Make sure your goals are specific, measurable, and tied to your broader vision. Identify quick wins: Look for easy adjustments that make a big difference. Small changes now can have a significant impact on your year-end results. Improve your systems: Make a plan to fix systems that aren't working. Good systems reduce mental load and improve accuracy. Communicate with stakeholders: Share your findings with your team, financial advisor, or coach. Reflect and celebrate: Take a moment to reflect on what is working, and celebrate the fact that you're engaging in this process.

Welcome!  We're thrilled and excited that you joined us as we celebrate an enormous milestone — our 100th episode of Light ‘Em Up.This achievement has been 5 years in the making and something we honestly never envisioned accomplishing when we started this project in January of 2020.Email us here, prizzo7778@rpgconsutingltd.com and let us know how you first heard of us and when you began tuning in to our podcast!  Are you a regular listener? Thank you!Tonight, our focus takes us to the Pelican State of Louisiana (a state where several of our dearest friends reside) as we continue our pursuit of speaking truth to power.Louisiana is Pro-life. Louisiana is pro-death penalty.  We call hypocrisy on this!Louisiana has enacted some of the most restrictive abortion laws in the country, effectively banning the procedure in nearly all circumstances with only very limited exceptions and no provisions for rape or incest — creating significant obstacles for those seeking abortion care.The same lawmakers that have gone this far to stress their “pro-life” credentials then turn around and sound almost bloodthirsty in their support for capital punishment, which is, after all, the ending of a human life.How does one reconcile these hypocritical, polar opposites?We've got our hip-waders on and we're going' deep to examine this contradiction.Are we picking a fight? No!  We're turning the spotlight on how the good people of Louisiana have adopted a rather puzzling set of policies.In other words, how does a state so hostile to a woman's right to choose to have a medical procedure performed on her body, which proudly boasts of its hostility to abortion and calls itself “pro-life” because of it, at the same time not only permits capital punishment, but boasts of it, and goes so far as to adopt an experimental method of choking the life out of a condemned prisoner as to pump pure nitrogen into his body?Louisiana currently has 55 people on death row.The state just recently resumed executions after a 15-year hiatus.We'll confront as best we can with the time we have issues asking:—   Does the death penalty deter crime?—   We'll examine the 8th Amendment, which prohibits the federal government from imposing excessive bail or fines, and cruel and unusual punishments.—   Is the death penalty applied in a grotesquely unfair, arbitrary and capricious manner that disproportionately impacts individuals of color?Does your:—  race,—  socio-economic status,—  who you kill and—  where you kill them (geographically) play MORE of a role in getting the death penalty than anything else?Ultimately, examining and asking:— Should the death penalty be abolished?All this and many, many more germane and critical questions … on topic as we challenge your critical thinking skills and abilities.It's a matter of life or death and we'll unpack all of it right here and right now on this historic and memorable 100th episode of Light ‘Em Up!How can you be pro-life and pro-death penalty?Louisiana:  Pro-life, pro-death penalty, hypoxia and hypocrisy.Tune in for all the powerful facts and figures.Follow our sponsors Newsly and Feedspot.Drop us a note to say hello and suggest a future podcast episode. Let us know what we are doing well and what we need to fix or address.We want to hear from you!

Dorit & PK reconcile much to everyone's surprise but all is not as meets the eye as this season's filming of RHOBH continues. Dolores Catania is caught up in a scam that no one saw coming. RHOC's up and down season continues which the entire cast still promise a very dark, deep secret to be revealed at the finale, lie detector and all.  Lindsay Hubbard's spin off is set to film.

Can an AI reconcile your books while you sleep? Blake and David run a live experiment with ChatGPT-5's Agent Mode in Xero—watching it match transactions, stumble on prepayments, and reveal what's realistically automatable today. They also break down a flood of app news: Dext's bill pay, Ramp's mega raise, Thomson Reuters and Deloitte's agentic AI, plus Ignition–Financial Cents and Canopy portal moves. They dig into survey findings showing that 58% of employees are secretly using AI at work despite company bans, and take a look at how AI is disrupting the job market for college graduates.

Our Lord Jesus, the Prince of Peace, wants us to experience peace with God. He also wants to give us inner, personal peace. But He also wants us to be at peace with others.These are incredible blessings -- peace with God, with ourselves, and with others. I've found they tend to work together. When we first have peace with God, we can then have peace within ourselves, which makes it much easier to have peace with others. Isn't it wonderful to lie your head on your pillow at night knowing you have all three of these "peace blessings"?Join me for Today's Daily Word & Prayer to learn moreScripture Used in Today's MessageRomans 12:18If you've not read my book, Takin' it to Their Turf. request a copy on my website, www.CampusAmerica.com.You'll be inspired, encouraged, and learn plenty about evangelism and spiritual warfare through the 70+ stories I share of my campus evangelism experiences.We send a copy to anyone who donates to our ministry, but if you can't do so, simply request a copy by sending us an email. Who do you know that needs to hear today's message? Go ahead and forward this to them, along with a prayer that God will use it in their life.To find Tom on Instagram, Facebook, TiKTok, and elsewhere, go to linktr.ee/tomthepreacher To support Tom Short Campus Ministries, click herehttps://www.tomthepreacher.com/support************ Do you want to have all your sins forgiven and know God personally? *********Check out my video "The Bridge Diagram" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0Kjwrlind8&t=1sCheck out my website, www.CampusAmerica.com, to learn more about my ministry and sign up for my daily email.

Are you struggling to reconcile a good God with a hard life? Hosts Dave and Ann Wilson sit down with Mark Vroegop, author of "Dark Clouds, Deep Mercy" to explore the vital biblical practice of lament. Mark reveals how lament, though prevalent in Scripture (making up one-third of the Psalms!), is often missing from modern Christian life. Drawing from his own profound experiences with loss, he explains how lament provides a faith-filled language for expressing grief, pain, and doubt directly to God, preventing despair and even the deconstruction of faith.

This Podcast Is Episode 640, And It's About How To Build Systems That Support Your Construction Business Turning the 3 Pillars—Marketing, Accounting, and Production—Into Repeatable Routines(without adding more work) You've done the hard part—you're running a construction business, getting jobs, and turning out quality work. Perhaps you've even begun to refine your marketing, job costing, and project delivery strategies, thanks to the three pillars we've discussed: Attracting the Right Jobs, Controlling the Money, and Delivering Projects Profitably. But here's the next step that will take your business from reactive to reliable, from "just getting by" to scaling sustainably: You need systems. Not paperwork piles. Not more apps. Just smart, repeatable steps that make your business more efficient—even if you're still a one-person show. As construction bookkeeping specialists, we help contractors every day who are great at swinging hammers but are overwhelmed by admin. This post will show you how to build simple systems around your existing workflow, so you can run your business more smoothly, make better decisions, and free up your time. What Is a "System" Anyway? A system is simply a repeatable process that occurs consistently without requiring you to reinvent the wheel each time. It could be: A checklist An automation A template A recurring habit Or a combination of all of the above The goal is predictability—so your business can function smoothly whether you're at a job site or taking a day off (yes, that's allowed!). Why Small Construction Businesses Need Systems You might be thinking, "I'm not a big company—I don't need systems." But the truth is, you need them even more. Why? Because without systems: Every invoice is different Every client interaction takes extra effort You forgot to track your hours or materials You lose receipts or miss billing for change orders You're constantly reacting instead of planning The right systems save you time, reduce stress, and increase your profitability. And they don't have to be complicated. System #1: A Simple Lead-to-Job Process The Problem: You get an inquiry, scribble notes on paper, forget to follow up, or lose track of what was discussed. Sound familiar? The System: Create a basic lead intake form (Google Form, CRM tool, or paper checklist) Pre-qualify leads with a few standard questions: Project type, location, timeline, budget Save all client information in one place (e.g., Google Sheet, Notion, Trello). Use a standard estimate template so every quote includes: Scope Pricing Timeline Payment terms Send a welcome email template after a job is accepted (include next steps, policies, and what to expect) Bookkeeper's Tip: Keeping track of leads and estimates helps you compare projected vs. actual profits, so you can learn which jobs are truly worth your time. System #2: A Weekly Money Routine The Problem: You're too busy to check the books, so you don't know if you're making or losing money until tax time. The System: Set aside 30–60 minutes each week to review your finances: Reconcile transactions (or send to your bookkeeper) Check outstanding invoices Follow up on late payments Log hours worked and materials used (by job) Review your cash flow forecast for the next two weeks Even if you outsource the bookkeeping, your weekly check-in keeps you in control. Make it part of your Friday routine, just like packing up your tools. Bookkeeper's Tip: We can set up automated reports to send you a cash flow summary, job costing update, or overdue invoice list via email each week—no extra work on your end. System #3: Job Costing and Change Order Tracking The Problem: You think you're making money on jobs, but in the end, you can't say for sure, and you might've given away work for free. The System: Use a spreadsheet or job costing software (like QuickBooks Projects or Buildertrend) Track: Labor (hours × rate) Materials (receipts, delivery invoices) Subcontractors Permits, rentals, and other direct costs Add a simple change order log to each job file Description, date, price, status (pending/approved) Get approval before starting extra work   Bookkeeper's Tip: When you track jobs this way, we can help you compare estimated vs. actual costs and margins—so your future quotes get sharper and more profitable. System #4: Project Timeline & Client Communication The Problem: Clients get anxious when they don't hear from you, and scope creep happens when there's no clear plan. The System: Break each project into 3–5 major phases (demo, framing, finish work, etc.) Assign rough start/end dates Use a whiteboard, app, or calendar to stay on track Send weekly updates to clients (template email or quick text summary) "Here's what we completed this week… Here's what's next…" Bookkeeper's Tip: When jobs stay on schedule, you're more likely to invoice on time and get paid faster, which improves your cash flow. System #5: Receipts, Invoices, and Tax Readiness The Problem: You have a shoebox full of receipts and scramble to find documents when tax season rolls around. The System: Use a digital system like Dext, Hubdoc, or even a shared Dropbox folder Snap photos of receipts as you go—tag them with the project name Save estimates, signed contracts, and change orders in organized folders Send invoices promptly at milestones (use progress billing templates) Review reports monthly with your bookkeeper (Profit & Loss, Job Profitability, etc.) Bookkeeper's Tip: With clean books and digital records, tax time is painless—and you'll never miss a deduction. The Myth of "More Work" The biggest myth about systems is that they add more to your plate. In reality, they save you time and stress by preventing confusion, wasted effort, and missed revenue. Stop rewriting the same emails Stop digging for info buried in texts Stop guessing at prices or costs Stop forgetting to bill for work you did With systems in place, your business becomes predictable, profitable, and easier to manage—even as you grow. Ready to Systemize Your Construction Business? You don't have to figure this all out on your own. As construction bookkeeping specialists, we help small contractors establish and maintain systems that align with their workflow. Whether it's: Automating job costing Simplifying invoicing Organizing digital receipts Reviewing job margins Or building custom templates We'll help you take the guesswork out of your money—and give you back control of your time. Let's identify one or two areas in your business where a system could save you hours (and dollars) every week. You build homes. We'll help you build the business behind them.

If you've been estranged from your child for some time, maybe you've heard that whisper in your mind: “It's been too long. Too much time has passed. Maybe reconciliation just isn't possible anymore.” I want to burn that lie down today.  . Because being estranged “too long” to reconcile? That's not a thing. It's just one more tactic the enemy uses to drain your hope and convince you to give up. .

“What is the sound of one hand clapping?”— Zen KoanLet's start with a confession.Developing the Unified Behavioral Model (UBM) revealed, in many ways, a side quest I didn't expect: Helping large language models (LLMs) navigate the mental spaghetti we humans lovingly call “logic”—which, if followed faithfully, often leads straight to paradox.You know—the deep, crunchy stuff:Body vs. environmentEmotion vs. feelingSkill vs. habitLogic vs. illogicThese aren't just philosophical speed bumps.They're full-blown conceptual cul-de-sacs.Every time the system—human or machine—hits one, it either freezes or splinters into a dozen confident-but-confused directions.What Is Abstract Thought, Anyway?Get it? To “draw away”It's not about sounding smart or solving puzzles.Frankly, it's your one real edge over AI—for now.It's about seeing things and thinking differently, especially when the pieces don't fit.It's Picasso and Pollock pulling apart realism.It's Einstein “riding a beam of light”.It's Lao Tzu explaining how “The soft and the weak overcome the hard and the strong.”Abstract thinking is cognitive flexibility —it's a different lens to process, beyond logic.It's the ability to zoom out and remove the frame.To hold logic and contradiction in the same hand, without blowing a fuse.So, we deliberately choose to go back to FUNDAMENTALS.Not to simplify, but to clarify.Not to dumb down, but to dissolve—to draw away from false binaries.Because here's the thing about dichotomies: Most aren't real.They're often tradition wrapped in Latin, handed down like sacred scrolls, passed around in conference halls and research papers.They survive not because they're accurate, but because they're familiar.“If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.” ~EinsteinAnd that's how the Unified Behavioral Model emerged: Not from divine inspiration, but moderate exasperation.Not from clarity, but from watching both brilliant humans and state-of-the-art LLMs get trapped in mental corners built by… You guessed it: LOGIC.Behaviorally speaking:Is the environment separate from the body?Not really. Both are environmental stimulants.If a headache doesn't change your mood and behavior, just like an idiot screaming at a baseball game, let me know.Are emotions and feelings different?Functionally perhaps? Not elementally. Both relay information.They're conduits—waves influencing your Behavior Echo-System.What about habits and skills?Turns out, they're more alike than different. Both are behaviors shaped through repetition, refined over time until they become automatic. Intentional or not, they're built the same way.How do we reconcile logic and illogic?Reconcile? Even the most “logical” among us do spectacularly irrational things—because we're driven by meaning, by narrative, by the stories we tell ourselves.Logic and illogic aren't separate. They're co-pilots.So if you want to teach a machine how behavior works, we first have to ‘draw away' the various dichotomies logic has constructed.And once those dissolve?The behavior model doesn't need to be built.It simply... emerges.Google: “Why doesn't a unified behavior model exist?”The answer begins with complexity.Complexity created by distinctions (above) that are both very important AND fundamentally (behaviorally speaking), not so important.Like jiggling the old TV antenna for the hundredth time, and suddenly the picture locks in—clear as day, as though it was never scrambled at all.Turns out, it —A UNIFIED BEHAVIOR MODEL—does exist. ☝️It just had to be excavated from under layers of distinctions, logic, and dichotomies.Logic is linear.Behavior, like the human experience, is abstract.This is elemental behavioral literacy.

In this episode of America's Founding Series on The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano brings to life the powerful story of Benjamin Rush, a brilliant and provocative Founding Father who helped shape the moral and medical foundation of the United States.

From challenging slavery to reconciling Adams and Jefferson, this episode explores how Rush's fearless voice helped heal a new nation and why his legacy still matters today. Episode Highlights: How Benjamin Rush fused Enlightenment ideals with revolutionary action to become one of the most influential and outspoken Founding Fathers Rush was one of the earliest abolitionists and mentored Black leaders like Richard Allen The dramatic reconciliation of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson—engineered by Rush behind the scenes

Are You Speaking to Their Greatness or Their Deficiencies? This conversation challenged me in the best way—and I think it will challenge you too. I sat down with relationship coaches Jocelyn and Aaron Freeman, and we didn't hold back. We got into the real, unfiltered truth about what makes a relationship thrive and what quietly breaks it down over time. And I'll be honest—I learned a lot about myself in this one. We talked about why most couples argue the same way every time, how we start talking to our partner's flaws instead of their potential, and how easy it is to stop being curious about the person we love the most. That hit me hard. Because curiosity? It's not just a phase when you're dating—it's a choice. When you stay curious, people become more interesting. And when you stop being interested, they stop showing you who they really are. One of the most important takeaways: the “5 Rs” the Freemans teach—Reflect, Responsibility, Reconnect, Remind, Reconcile. It's a practical framework that helps couples come back from conflict stronger. But what stood out even more was this mindset they kept coming back to: we're on the same team. That phrase alone has the power to stop an argument in its tracks and realign a relationship that feels like it's drifting apart. This episode is packed with real tools, honest moments, and a whole lot of heart. If you're in a relationship—new or decades deep—there's something here for you. You're either training your partner that this is a safe space to share… or you're teaching them to keep it all inside. That's the choice. And I want you to choose connection. Key Takeaways: The most damaging part of conflict isn't the argument—it's the lack of repair after. Learn the 5 Rs to recover and reconnect after a disagreement. “Speaking to your partner's greatness” builds them up and strengthens your bond. Curiosity is the secret to keeping relationships alive and engaging. One person can spark change, but both have to sustain it. You don't have to end the relationship to end the version of it that isn't working. Let this episode be the spark. Listen with your partner. Talk about it. And remember—you're on the same team.  

Trump's win exposed political tensions between Arab-American voters — who were critical of Democratic support of Israel's war in Gaza, and Black voters — who remain the Democrats' most loyal supporters. That friction is especially pronounced in the majority Arab city of Dearborn, Michigan, and its majority Black neighbor, Detroit. This week, we go to a testy iftar dinner where Arab and Black folks sat down to begin having tough conversations.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
