Podcasts about reconciling

When Dave Mabe backtested his strategy, it outperformed his own discretionary trading — and changed how he approached everything. In this episode, we discuss gapping breakouts, expectancy, systematic trading, drawdowns, and the reality gap between backtests and live execution. A practical conversation for traders serious about building durable edge. In this episode, we explore: ·        How Dave got introduced to markets: From early exposure to investing through his family to actively seeking more control over his capital and moving from swing trading into day trading. ·        Why rules matter: The transition from discretionary decisions to systematic frameworks — and why trading without a process is a fast path to inconsistency. ·        Backtesting as a “superpower”: What backtesting really does for strategy development and confidence in your edge. ·        Reconciling backtests with real life: Practical realities of execution, slippage, and market structure — and how to build a feedback loop so your live results get closer to your imulations. ·        Drawdowns and mindset: How to handle periods where a strategy doesn't behave as expected, and why many traders quit in drawdowns rather than at all-time highs. ·        Scaling a trading business: The difference between scaling size versus scaling breadth — and why uncorrelated strategies matter. ·        Practical first step for systematic traders: How to start adding structure to your trading with backtesting, even if you're not a programmer.   About the guest:   Dave has been a professional trader and technologist for over two decades. As a former CTO of Trade-Ideas, he has unique experience at the intersection of algorithm design, real-time market data, and automated execution. Outside trading, he writes a popular daily newsletter on backtesting and systematic strategy development, and hosts the Line Your Own Pockets podcast focused on systematic approaches to markets.

Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives. Host Dave Gebroe talks with Spirit biographer Ryan Gabrinetti about the classic psych band's entire recorded output, with commentary, stories, and star ratings for every release. Part 6 covers the beginning of Spirit's Mercury Records era, a fertile period rife with creativity, as Randy California wound up processing his feelings around America's Bicentennial through a surprisingly emotional internal filter, recording so much material for this double set that there was enough left over for a whole other record to come. Here are just a few of the many things that Ryan discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast: Randy's attempt to become a regular guy—including his stint working at a McDonald's—before disappearing into thin air; Randy's move to Hawaii, and some legitimately wild tales regarding his time there; How Ten Years After backing out of a Florida gig wound up changing the trajectory of Randy's career; Reconciling the twin notions of recording an ambitious double set but gracing it with an album cover drawn haphazardly upon…a napkin?; And an in-depth deep dive on every song off Spirit's Spirit of '76.

Preacher : Kathy Maskell 2 Corinthians 5:14-20 14  For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.  15  And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again. 16  So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.  17  Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!  18  All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:  19  that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.  20  We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God.

In this season finale, Kristina and Anna reflect on a pivotal personal update, then bring the Inner Villain framework full circle. The conversation weaves lived experience, healthcare advocacy, boundaries, emotional embodiment, and spiritual bypassing into a practical, grounded close to the season.This episode is about changing the script. Not by bypassing reality, but by meeting it honestly.Opening Update. Surgery, Uncertainty, and Narrative ChoiceKristina shares an update on a planned surgical biopsy that ultimately could not proceed. Rather than framing this as loss or avoidance, she explores how preparing for surgery moved a deeper story forward. Fear of death, fear of leaving family, and inherited narratives were confronted directly.Key themes:Reconciling with uncertaintyHow preparation itself can be transformationalChoosing meaning without denialLetting go of the need for visible “proof” of healingHealthcare Reality. Advocacy and Systemic Blind SpotsThe conversation shifts into a candid discussion about healthcare systems, fallibility, and the importance of self-advocacy.Highlights include:Why patients must advocate for themselvesThe power of asking providers to document refusalsGendered dismissal in medical settingsInsurance denial as a systemic issue, not a personal failureThis section grounds the episode firmly in lived reality before returning to psychological and spiritual frameworks.Control vs Illusion. Anchor and DriftAnna revisits a core distinction from earlier episodes: control-based villains versus illusion-based villains, reframed as Anchor and Drift.Key insight:Anchors grow through joy, movement, and emotional flowDrifts grow through responsibility, structure, and self-anchoringThis reframing avoids gendered language while clarifying relational dynamics across work, parenting, money, and intimacy.The 12 Steps as Villain WorkThe discussion explores how 12-step frameworks function as deep transformational tools within the Inner Villain system.Key points:Surrender as medicine for controlResponsibility as medicine for illusionWhy hybrid villains often benefit from bothAddiction, avoidance, and invisibility as shared rootsObedient Critic. Control in Everyday LifeBoth hosts share personal examples of how the Obedient Critic shows up in domestic life, hosting, and expectations.Topics include:Silent rules and unspoken standardsJudgment versus communicationHumor as a bridge away from controlLearning to state needs without shame or superiorityVengeful Martyr. Boundaries and BurnoutThe conversation turns to over-giving, over-servicing, and emotional exhaustion.Key themes:How silencing needs creates resentmentWhy boundaries are emotional, not intellectualAnger as an early boundary signalBoredom as a late-stage warning signBoundaries as other people's growth edgesBoth hosts share work-related examples where firmer boundaries led to more sustainable energy and better outcomes.Invisible Destroyer (The Nothing). Spiritual Bypass and EmbodimentThis section explores how spirituality and busyness can become tools for avoidance.Key insights:Toxic positivity as emotional suppressionRegulation mistaken for constant calmBusyness as grief avoidanceActivity as bypass versus activity as embodimentThe difference between thinking emotions and feeling themKristina speaks to slowing down as a path to embodiment, while Anna highlights movement and physical activation as her gateway to emotional truth.Hero Energy. Becoming EmbodiedThe episode closes by naming the hero of the Invisible Destroyer: the Embodied.Practices discussed:Slowing down to feel rather than interpretLetting emotions unfold without reframingMoving the body to access grief, anger, and joyStaying present without transcending the human experienceSeason Reflection and ClosingThe hosts reflect on the impact of the Inner Villain work over the season and the relief of stepping out of victim and villain identities altogether.The season ends not with answers, but with better questions.And with permission to be human.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Client Reviews… ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐  Jenny's teachings have produced results reconnecting me with my estranged daughter I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible support and guidance received in the most tragic time of my life from coach Jenny Good. Her faith, compassion, understanding, dedication and display of radical love has truly been life-changing for me. I was so overwhelmed with feelings of confusion, guilt, and sadness. I felt lost and didn't know how to navigate through the emotional turmoil I was experiencing. However, from the very first call, Jenny created a safe and non-judgmental space for me to share my details. Her ability to listen attentively and empathize while helping me understand a different way of thinking is truly remarkable. She understood my feelings and offered tools each session in ways I have not experienced even from therapy.

We believe that the Gospel is built upon a […]

The Church: is Not a Building but is a Building Project, is Universal and Local, is Visible and Invisible, is True or False, is Redeemed and Regenerate, is Gathered and Scattered, is Autonomous and Cooperative, is Elder-led and Congregational, is Accountable and Reconciling, performs baptism and the Lord's Supper, is Militant and Triumphant, Worships and Witnesses, gathers for Preaching and Prayer, is Holy and Hospitable, and is Meager and Glorious.

My mother was born in Bethlehem, Palestine, a land where hospitality is not sentiment, not a virtue to be cultivated, but obedience. It is not taught, debated, or defended. It is enacted. The land itself bears witness to a scriptural way of life that precedes institutions, borders, and claims of authority. The earth remembers what human beings forget. It remembers what it means to live under decree rather than under ownership.Scripture itself is formed by this memory. It speaks in a Semitic grammar in which unity precedes sequence and must never harden into possession. Genesis opens not with “the first day,” but with yom eḥad, one day. Creation does not begin with order imposed over time, but with a complete, bounded unity named before anything is divided or accumulated. Wholeness precedes sequence. Unity precedes control.Arabic preserves this same grammar. Like Biblical Hebrew, Arabic counting does not begin with an ordinal. One says yawm wāḥid, one day, not “the first day.” Ordinals only begin with “second,” al-yawm al-thānī. Linguistically, “one” does not mark position. It marks unity, closure, and intelligibility. Only once unity is given can differentiation follow. Counting does not produce wholeness. It presupposes it.This is not a linguistic curiosity. It is a refusal written into the language itself. Scripture does not allow the world to be treated as an object assembled piece by piece. The land is first named as a whole before it is ever divided. Life is first declared worthy before it is ever administered. Unity is given, not achieved.That is why in that land, people did not write treatises on coexistence. They did not construct ethical systems to justify themselves. They lived. They lived because Scripture was never an abstraction. It was not an idea to be mastered but a Command to be obeyed. Hospitality was not a moral accomplishment but a reflex, the uncalculated response of those who know that they are not masters. The outsider is received not because one has reasoned it to be good, but because this is what life looks like on land that belongs to someone else.Israel in the Scriptural text is itself constituted according to this same grammar. Twelve is not a governing structure but a symbolic totality, the whole addressed by God for a purpose. The Twelve in the Gospels function the same way. They do not rule. They signify. They address Israel as a whole, not as an institution to be preserved. Once that address has been made, unity is not hardened into continuity. It is released.Paul's mission embodies this release. What was gathered symbolically is carried outward. Election is not converted into ownership. Unity is not turned into administration. It is sent, so that the nations may be addressed.Scripture consistently contrasts this covenantal unity with another numerical grammar. The nations appear as ten, the number of human totality, the fullness of empire and power. Ten names what human beings claim when they totalize, when they consolidate, when they rule. Scripture does not resolve history by allowing twelve to rule ten. It resolves history by confronting ten through twelve, by addressing power without becoming power.God alone remains uncounted and undissolved, because God is not one element within the sequence. God is the unity that makes all counting possible. God is not the first proprietor among others. God is the only Proprietor.That is why what happened in Gaza was wrong. Not because one group could assemble better arguments about history or entitlement. It was wrong because mothers and children were killed. This is not political speech. It is witness. The decree that rendered the land worthy is the same decree that rendered every life upon it worthy. To violate that life is not to offend an ideology but to profane what was entrusted. Those who claimed the land while denying the life upon it testified against themselves. They forgot the one thing Scripture never negotiates.There is only one Proprietor.Scripture arose to interrupt such forgetting. When kings enthrone themselves and devour, when power names itself necessity, when land is reduced to possession rather than received as inheritance, Scripture speaks. It does not bargain. It does not flatter. It calls heaven and earth to witness. The land does not belong to those who conquer it, nor to those who administer it, nor to those who explain it away. It belongs to the One who provides it. Everything that breathes upon it is under his protection, whether rulers approve or not.There is only one Ruler.Those who lived there knew this without commentary or defense. When neighbors arrived from Europe, speaking other tongues and carrying other memories, the question was never whether they had a right to be there. They came. They were received. Some remained. That was not the transgression. The transgression came when the memory of Scripture was erased by claims of ownership, when inheritance was renamed possession, when sovereignty displaced obedience.I was born in St. Paul, Minnesota. I am not formed by charters, statutes, or arrangements of power. What governs my path is older and heavier than law. My neighbor is not determined by documents but by encounter. Those who have come to this place, as others once came to the land of my mother's birth, are my neighbors because they have been placed in my path by him and because they walk upon land that is not mine. This land too belongs to the same Proprietor. And because he has deemed it worthy, all who dwell upon it are worthy, whether they are welcomed or rejected, named or erased.By his decree, I am a Minnesotan, just as surely as all who dwell herein, every fragile life bearing the terrible gift of his living breath.Hear the word of the Lord. Every encounter is a divine summons. The mother. The child. The worker who serves your food. The one who teaches God's children. Do not deceive yourself. It is not them you face. It is the One who holds their breath in his awesome and terrible hand.Surely, he is not mocked.You fools!Who is like God?This week, I discuss Luke 9:1. This episode is offered in memory of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti, whose voice the land itself lifts before God.“Etching of two loons.” By John James Audubon, 1836.

Acts 11:1-18 "Reconciling the World"  Pastor Wes Holland, preaching.

Send us a textAcupuncturists first encountering Applied Channel Theory are sometimes confused about apparent differences between Dr. Wang's diagnostic approach and more common diagnostic models which focus on patterns arising from the Zang Fu (脏腑/yin-yang organs). In this episode, Jonathan Chang and Jason Robertson discuss how a diagnostic model which places channels at the center can be reconciled with so-called "TCM" style. In fact, the discussion explores how a familiarity with Zang Fu diagnosis is indispensable.Music by The Strayun: Clancy of the Overflow.

We're back after a week off and so ready to gossip! Amanda has a minor holiday movie gripe. And we have a funny story about our Christmas gifts to each other... We are seeing the talk of Mauricio and Kyle perhaps getting back together and we both have some theories about what's actually going on. Speaking of what's going on - our most asked question lately is what is happening with RHOC casting? We have some updates for you. We haven't talked much Potomac yet this season, but today we have LOTS of tea to share about Potomac, the cast, and who has been out talking some shade about other cast members. Eddie and Wendy Osefo's case had some updates right before the holidays. And no one is shocked to see that Kyle and Amanda from Summer House spent the holidays apart. Plus, more casting updates for RHONJ, RHOM, and RHOSLC. Naomie Olindo is engaged...to Brooks Nader's ex-husband. All roads lead to Bravo. And, speaking of Naomie, who should Craig date next?    This week's episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by Nutrafol.

Bishop Mary Glasspool models what it looks like to live one's convictions with courage, humility, and grace — this “Best Of” episode reminds us that pluralism is not an abstraction, but a practice. Best Of TP&R As we close out the year, we're resurfacing a small handful of conversations from the Talkin' Politics & Religion Without Killin' Each Other archive that best reflect what this show exists to do: create space for thoughtful disagreement, moral seriousness, and the hard work of living together in a pluralistic democracy. In this Best of 2025 spotlight, we revisit a deeply human and spiritually rich conversation with Bishop Mary D. Glasspool, a pioneering leader in the Episcopal Church whose life and ministry embody the possibility of faith without fear, conviction without coercion, and leadership without domination. From her early years growing up in the church, to wrestling with vocation, identity, and resistance from within her own denomination, Bishop Glasspool reflects on what it means to remain rooted in one's faith while staying genuinely open to others — across theology, politics, and lived experience. This is not a conversation about winning arguments. It's about becoming the kind of people who can stay in relationship even when the conversations are hard.

Isaiah 53:4-6 Hebrews 2:17; 4:14-15

In the second week of Advent, Dean invites us to consider the gift of peace as declared by the angels in Luke 2:8-14 and accomplished through Christ Himself. Ephesians 2:14-18 shows us that Jesus doesn't just offer peace; He is our peace, breaking down dividing walls and reconciling us to God and one another. Advent reminds us that peace is not simply the absence of conflict but the presence of a restored relationship. In a fractured world and a divided age, the Church is called to embody this peace together, living as a people reconciled by grace and united in Christ.

In this episode, I sit down with Dan Putt, my coach for the last six years, to explore the journey of building a company and the personal transformation that comes with it. We reflect on Kit's growth to over $50 million ARR and discuss the significant shifts in my leadership style, particularly moving from consensus-driven decision-making to confident clarity. Dan and I dive into the importance of identifying and separating reversible from one-way decisions, the power of embracing uncertainty, and the profound impact of connecting with your core "why."

He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. 19 For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.21 And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, 22 he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him, 23 if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister.Sermon OutlineWhy we need reconciliation (v.21)How Jesus reconciles (v. 20-22)What this means for how we live now (v. 23)Prayer of ConfessionGracious God, you created the universe for wholeness and flourishing.

In 2022 I was deep into therapy regarding my marriage and myself. My counselor at the time recommended a book, “​​I Don't Want to Talk About It: Overcoming the Secret Legacy of Male Depression,” by a therapist named Terry Real. I read the book and opened up a whole new level of understanding about myself. Terry then released a book titled US: Getting Past You and Me to Build a More Loving Relationship, which my therapist also recommended. Shortly after I was contacted by an agency about having Terry on this podcast. He was being touted as actress Gwyneth Paltrow's favorite relational therapist and was being praised by actor Bradley Cooper, psychotherapist Esther Perel, and the forward to the book is a candid, vulnerable story from Bruce Springsteen where he shares, “At age thirty two I hit an emotional wall and realized I was lost in a deep dark forest, largely of my own making, without a map. So began forty years of trying to find my way through the shadowed trees, down to the river of a sustaining life. Terry Real has been a guide and this book is a map through those trees.” For me the book revealed much about how I perceived a separateness in my relationships that was not helping create connection and intimacy. In Us, Terry showcases how we culturally live as “you and me” when the bedrock of our being is us. I agree. Find Terry at terryreal.com.

After decades in higher education as a college president and VP of Student Success, Renee returned to the classroom to teach the next generation of leaders.

The other 10% is never as bad as we imagine.” “God knew me before I was even formed in the womb; understanding that changed how I live my faith and my truth.” “Leadership is everywhere.

Vicente Raja is a research fellow at University of Murcia in Spain, where he is also part of the Minimal Intelligence Lab run by Paco Cavo, where they study plant behavior, and he is external affiliate faculty of the Rotman Institute of Philosophy at Western University. He is a philosopher, and he is a cognitive scientist, and he specializes in applying concepts from ecological psychology to understand how brains, and organisms, including plants, get about in the world. We talk about many facets of his research, both philosophical and scientific, and maybe the best way to describe the conversation is a tour among many of the concepts in ecological psychology - like affordances, ecological information, direct perception, and resonance, and how those concepts do and don't, and should or shouldn't, contribute to our understanding of brains and minds. We also discuss Vicente's use of the term motif to describe scientific concepts that allow different researches to study roughly the same things even though they have different definitions for those things, and toward the end we touch on his work studying plant behavior.

How do we reconcile our expectations with God's unfolding plan? In this episode, Professor Derek Sainsbury explores the remarkable life of Nancy Naomi Tracy–a woman whose unwavering faith and bold defense of religious liberty and temple service helped shape the early Latter-day Saint experience. Through persecution, political exile, and personal loss, Nancy remained devoted to the gospel. Professor Sainsbury draws from her writings and activism to reveal how she navigated the tension between personal hopes and divine direction, offering a compelling lens into the cost of conviction and the legacy of spiritual resilience.  Publications: “‘We Have Not Been Allowed to Worship as We Please': Nancy Naomi Tracy and the Denial of Latter-day Saint Religious Liberty,” in Religious Liberty and Latter-day Saints: Historical and Global Perspectives (Religious Studies Center, 2023) Joseph Smith as a Visionary: Heavenly Manifestations in the Latter Days (Religious Studies Center, 2025) "Befriending the Constitutional Law of the Land" in Doctrine and Coveants Insights: Capstone of Doctrinal Understanding (Religious Studies Center, 2025) Storming the Nation: The Unknown Contributions of Joseph Smith's Political Missionaries (Religious Studies Center, 2020) “‘For the General Good of Mankind': Why Joseph Smith's Presidential Campaign Matters,” Religious Educator, 21.3 (2020)  Click here to learn more about Derek Sainsbury

In this NEW episode, Dr. Finlayson-Fife explores how our own theology, rightly understood, offers a far richer view: that the body is a spiritual gift, and that sex can become the sacrament of marriage—a way of knowing God, ourselves, and each other with more honesty, love, and joy.

It was in Plainfield, NJ, in 1971 where our guest - Ashanti Alston - joined The Black Panther Party, radicalized in the wake of the 1967 Newark Riots and Malcolm X's assassination years earlier. Ashanti would begin his life as an anarchist on that day, and it has guided his every step – through the Panther Party, then the Black Liberation Army, his incarceration, and his work honoring the sacrifice of political prisoners in the name of Black liberation with The Jericho Movement. Ashanti sits with us now with a 21st-century view of the impact of his radical brothers and sisters and the lessons learned from a lifetime of seeking Black liberation. __________________________ Black History Year (BHY) is produced by PushBlack, the nation's largest non-profit Black media company.
