Podcasts about redefinition

In this weeks episode of inverted Orthodoxy, Pastors Kyle, Blake, and Doug answer the following long form question: Negative Impact of Modern Western Culture on Biblical MarriageModern Western cultures often prioritize individualism, personal fulfillment, and egalitarian values, which can conflict with traditional Biblical views of marriage. The emphasis on equality sometimes leads to the reinterpretation or rejection of roles traditionally seen as complementary in a Christian marriage. This cultural shift can create tension and misunderstandings regarding the Biblical model of marriage, where roles are often defined in terms of leadership and submission.2 Influence on Gender Roles in MarriageThe feminist movement has played a significant role in reshaping gender roles within marriage. The Biblical perspective of husbands as "heads" of the household and wives as submissive partners is often challenged, leading to:A) Redefinition of Leadership: Some contemporary Christians interpret leadership as a shared responsibility rather than a unilateral role. This has diluted the traditional concept of the husband's authority and leadership.B) Shift in Responsibilities: With both spouses often working, responsibilities can become more fluid and less traditionally defined, leading to a negotiation of duties that may not align with Biblical teachings.3 Misunderstanding of Scriptural TermsKey terms such as "obey," "submit," "honor," and "lead" carry profound meanings within the Biblical context. However, modern interpretations often lead to misconceptions:Obey and Submit: These terms can be perceived as oppressive. Biblical submission, however, is described as a mutual act of love and respect, where both partners submit to one another (Ephesians 5:21).Honor and Lead: The call to honor and lead may be misconstrued as dictatorial authority rather than a servant leadership style that reflects Christ's love for the church (Ephesians 5:25).4 Power Dynamics in the HomeThe push for gender equality has led to a re-evaluation of power dynamics in marriage:Men Failing to Lead: Some men may struggle with the concept of leadership. This can lead to a sense of inadequacy or confusion regarding their role.Wives Struggling to Submit: Women may find it challenging to allow their husbands to lead, especially if they have developed a strong independent identity or have experienced previous relationships where leadership was abused.5 Challenges in Letting Go and TrustingBoth partners face distinct challenges in navigating these dynamics:Trust Issues: For many women, trusting a husband to lead can be daunting. The fear of relational vulnerability complicates this trust.Fear of Ineffectiveness: Men may fear that stepping into a leadership role could lead to criticism or rejection of their decisions, which can perpetuate a cycle of indecision or avoidance of leadership.Cultural Pressures: Societal narratives often emphasize independence and self-sufficiency, which can create barriers to embracing a Biblical model of marriage that values interdependence and cooperation.6 Education and Church InfluenceThe diminished presence of the church in public schools and its influence on educational curriculums can have far-reaching implications:Curriculum Changes: As church teachings have receded from public education, secular narratives often dominate discussions on gender and sexuality. Curricula that emphasize gender fluidity, personal choice, and diverse family structures can contrast sharply with traditional Biblical teachings.Altered Narratives: This change can distort views of Biblical truths, especially among younger generations who may be less exposed to church teachings. As a result, children may grow up with values that prioritize individualism and personal autonomy over the communal and sacrificial aspects of Christian marriage.The Questions1 What advice would you give to couples currently struggling to establish a more Biblical Marriage? For those who recognize the negative impacts of modern influences on marriage and family dynamics, redirecting leadership roles can be a significant struggle. While the concept of gender equality holds value, it often fails to embrace or support the distinct and complementary roles that individuals play within marriage. 2 I can't help but wonder whether the rising divorce statistics are influenced by our collective rejection of these traditional roles and the subconscious effects of contemporary culture on our marital expectations. What are your thoughts? I believe as children of God, we are equals; however, it is essential to recognize that the genders are not designed to be identical. The differences in our design carry a profound significance that highlights how we complement one another, allowing us to unite as one and support each other in our respective roles. Embracing these unique attributes can enhance our relationships, leading to a more fulfilling and harmonious partnership.Resources for this episode: - The Making of Biblical Womanhood by Beth Allison Barr - The Marriage You Always Wanted by Sheila Wray Gregorie and Dr. Keith Gregorie -Nobody's Mother by Sandra Glahn Do you have a question you've been wanting answered?

Finding Your Purpose   What if the path to wealth, happiness, and fulfillment isn't in doing more — but in feeling more? In this powerful episode of Richer Soul, Nate Ewert joins Rocky to share how he helps men break free from unconscious survival patterns and step into lives of true purpose and alignment. Through his work with Igniter Men's Group and Somatic Synergies, Nate bridges ancient wisdom, neuroscience, and trauma-informed healing practices to guide transformation from the inside out. Whether you're feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or you're seeking deeper emotional freedom and clarity in life, this episode reveals the subtle, yet profound shifts that unlock authentic success — not just externally, but within.   Key Takeaways:  Healing Isn't a Luxury — It's Foundational. Nate emphasizes that unresolved trauma impacts your nervous system, your decisions, your relationships, and even how you handle money. Real transformation begins by learning to feel safe in your body. Masculinity Needs a Redefinition. Men are often conditioned to suppress emotion and “man up,” but Nate shows how true strength lies in vulnerability, community, and nervous system regulation. You Don't Need to Be Broken to Grow. Many of Nate's clients come to him not because they're falling apart, but because they know there's more. More purpose. More depth. More alignment. And they're ready to go deeper. Somatic Work Is the Missing Link. Talk therapy often stays in the head. Somatic healing helps release stored trauma and energy from the body — the place where transformation really begins.   Money Learnings: Nate's early money story was shaped by scarcity and survival. He shares how financial lessons were limited to rules like "save 10%," but these didn't help when fear and nervous system dysregulation ran the show. Through deep inner work, he's transformed his relationship with money — from fear-driven to purpose-aligned. The big shift? Understanding that your nervous system must feel safe in order for wealth to grow and stay.   About Nate Ewert: Nate Ewert is a trauma-informed somatic healer and founder of Igniter Men's Group and Somatic Synergies. With certifications in conscious breathwork, nervous system regulation, and deep emotional release, Nate creates sacred spaces for men to unlearn cultural conditioning and step into embodied leadership and authentic purpose.   Key Discussion Points: Nate's “dark night of the soul” and how it sparked his healing journey. The difference between somatic healing and traditional talk therapy. Why regulating your nervous system is the foundation for a fulfilling life. How societal expectations around masculinity harm men's mental health. Tools to begin healing: breathwork, embodiment, emotional release. Nate's approach to building authentic community and sacred space for men. How trauma patterns influence how we earn, spend, and feel about money. Redefining success: from hustle to harmony.   Conclusion: This episode is a call to stop doing and start feeling. Nate Ewert offers a rare, vulnerable, and deeply practical guide to healing, purpose, and aligned living. If you're a man feeling disconnected or driven by invisible forces… or if you're simply seeking more from life than performance and checklists, this is your wake-up call.   Links: Website: www.ignitermensgroup.com  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3506607039556815  Instagram: @ignitermensgroup  Website: www.somaticsynergies.com  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SomaticSynergies  Instagram: @somaticsynergieshealing   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@richersoul Richer Soul Life Beyond Money.

If you've ever felt like life passed you by — that everyone else got the invitation to motherhood while you were left standing in the quiet — this episode is for you. In Episode 166 of The “So Now What?” Podcast, I'm bringing you into a deeply personal story I recently shared with a room full of college students. It wasn't about infertility — at least not directly — but it brought up a feeling you probably know all too well: what it's like to have a plan for your life… only to watch it fall apart. I share what happened when I didn't get into the college I thought would define my future — and how that moment mirrored the heartbreak of leaving fertility treatments without a child. If you've ever followed every "right" step and still didn't end up where you hoped, you're not alone. This episode will help you: Connect the dots between your past rejections and how you define your worth today Understand why your grief is valid, even if no one else sees it Reframe your childless life as one that is not behind — but boldly becoming Feel less alone in a world that celebrates milestones you didn't get to experience Whether you're in the thick of navigating a future without motherhood or trying to figure out what comes next, this conversation will remind you that you still get to write your own story. And that story can be meaningful, beautiful, and yours.

Do asylum seekers in the U.S. have rights? Can the U.S. government forcibly deport them to a prison in El Salvador without due process? What about green card holders attending college? Since taking office, President Trump has focused on legal and undocumented immigrants alike, from Venezuelan asylum seekers to visa and green card college students—invoking the Alien Enemies Act to deport some, and even defying court orders. In this episode, Stanford Law immigration law expert Jennifer Chacón joins Rich Ford for a discussion about these unprecedented actions while also addressing the broader implications for human rights and the U.S.'s role as a refuge for persecuted individuals—and the potential for America's diminished international reputation and influence in the world.Links:Jennifer Chacón >>> Stanford Law pageLegal Phantoms >>> Stanford Law pageSurveillance Footage Shows Arrest of Tufts U.

The Significance of Rahab in Jesus's Genealogy and the Redefinition of Community This week, we're diving into the life of Rahab, the second woman mentioned in Jesus's genealogy, and how her narrative redefines the concept of community, especially during the Advent season. This exploration highlights several key themes: faith, kindness, and the transformative power of belonging. Rahab's Background: Joshua 2 Rahab was a woman living in Jericho, a city that the Israelites were preparing to conquer as they entered the Promised Land under Joshua's leadership. Despite her profession as a prostitute, Rahab's story is one of faith and courage. When two Israelite spies came to Jericho, she recognized the power of their God and chose to protect them, hiding them from the king's soldiers. This act of bravery was rooted in her belief in the God of Israel, whom she had heard about through travelers. Faith Leading to Action Rahab's faith was not passive; it led her to take significant action. She asked the spies to spare her family in exchange for her kindness, demonstrating a deep understanding of grace. The spies agreed, instructing her to hang a scarlet cord from her window as a sign for her family's protection during the impending attack on Jericho. This scarlet cord symbolizes the grace that saves, paralleling the message of the Gospel, where all humanity is offered salvation despite their shortcomings. Kindness as a Reflection of the Gospel The concept of kindness is central to Rahab's story. The Hebrew word for kindness encompasses grace and favor, even when it is undeserved. Rahab's request for kindness from the spies reflects the essence of the Gospel, where God's kindness leads to repentance and transformation. This Advent season, God is inviting you to reflect on the kindness shown to you through Jesus Christ. What Does It Mean? Redefining Community Rahab's inclusion in the genealogy of Jesus signifies a radical redefinition of community. After the fall of Jericho, she and her family were spared and integrated into the Israelite community. This act of inclusion illustrates that belonging is not determined by one's past or societal status but by faith and the willingness to embrace God's grace. Rahab's story is a powerful reminder that everyone has a place in God's family, regardless of their background. What Does It Mean for Me? Consider how you can embody kindness in your own lives. Just as Rahab acted on her faith, believers are called to demonstrate kindness and grace to others. "Who can you be kind to this week? How might you show kindness and receive God's kindness for you this week?" This call to action aligns with the spirit of Advent, a time of waiting and expectancy for the coming of Christ, who embodies ultimate kindness and grace.

Can love truly heal our broken world? It might sound romanticized, but perhaps that's because we haven't fully explored the depth and weight of love. In this episode, we dive into a chapter from Scott Allen's new book, 10 Words to Heal Our Broken World. We need to reshape our understanding of love, moving beyond the superficial definitions that dominate modern culture. We will explore love's concentric circles, from its joyful beginnings to the profound commitments of agape love. We also discuss how love must be grounded in truth.Have you considered the impact of postmodernism and secularism on cultural perspectives of love? Getting the meaning of love right can heal and unite society. This episode offers practical insights on living out God's understanding of love, urging us to make it a central practice in our daily lives. Don't miss this compelling conversation that challenges misconceptions and calls for a return to authentic, life-changing love.For all things 10 Words to Heal Our Broken World go to 10wordsbook.orgAmazon Purchase Link: 10 Words to Heal Our Broken World: Restoring the Meaning of Our Most Important WordsThe Discipline of Love by Bob MoffittToday, the definition of love has been abbreviated to two simplistic concepts: (1) A source of pleasure, joy, or delight. (2) A strong affection, often accompanied by romantic feelings and sexual attraction. Several other facets of the true meaning of love have been removed from our culture's thinking. These include: (3) To value, cherish, or treasure. (4) Fidelity and devotion. Faithful commitment. (5) To seek the good of another, to give for his or her benefit, even at a significant personal cost.

Welcome to episode #951 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Here it is: Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast - Episode #951. When it comes to thinking big about artificial intelligence, I think about what Nick Bostrom is thinking. A philosopher widely known for his thought leadership in AI and existential risk, Nick has spent much of his career asking the kinds of questions most of us avoid. As the founding Director of Oxford's Future of Humanity Institute and a researcher who has dabbled in everything from computational neuroscience to philosophy, Nick's intellectual curiosity knows no bounds. His 2014 book, Superintelligence (a must-read), became a New York Times bestseller, framing global discussions about the potential dangers of artificial intelligence. But now, with his latest book, Deep Utopia - Life and Meaning in a Solved World, Nick shifts the conversation to a more optimistic angle - what happens if everything goes right? Deep Utopia tackles a question that feels almost paradoxical: If we solve all of our technological problems, what's left for humanity to do? Nick presents a future where superintelligence has safely arrived, governing a world where human labor is no longer required, and technological advancements have freed us from life's practical necessities. This isn't just a hypothetical playground for futurists... it's a challenge to our understanding of meaning and purpose in a post-work, post-instrumental society. In this conversation, Nick explores the philosophical implications of a world where human nature becomes fully malleable. With AI handling all instrumental tasks, and near-magical technologies at our disposal, the question shifts from "How do we survive?" to "How do we live well?" It's no longer about the technology itself but about our values, our purpose, and how we define meaning when there are no more problems left to solve. Nick's book is not just a call to prepare for the future; it's an invitation to rethink what life could look like when all of humanity's traditional struggles are behind us. As he dives into themes of happiness, pleasure, and the complexities of human nature, Nick encourages us to reimagine the future - not as a dystopia to fear, but as a deep utopia, where we must rediscover what it means to be truly human in a solved world. This stuff bakes my noodle. Enjoy the conversation… Running time: 49:48. Hello from beautiful Montreal. Subscribe over at Apple Podcasts.

My guest today is Mike Benz, a free speech & censorship expert, the Executive Director of Foundation for Freedom Online, a nonprofit watchdog dedicated to protecting digital liberties and restoring the free and open Internet. Benz was in charge of the cyber portfolio for the US State Department during the Trump administration, where he served as the Deputy Assistant Secretary for International Communications and Information Technology. That role included formulating and negotiating US policy on Internet diplomacy issues as well as interfacing with private industry and civil society in the Big Tech space. Prior to that, Benz served as a White House speechwriter for President Trump and advised on technology policy.  In this conversation, we discuss censorship & free speech, U.S. foreign policy including Israel's role.

In this Concrete Logic Podcast episode, Seth, Rich, and Dr. Jon discuss the potential issues with water-to-cement ratios in concrete production. They highlight the challenges of using new cement and fly ash materials, as well as the variability in water content and cement quantities. The conversation emphasizes the importance of managing risk and the need for accurate calculations to ensure the desired concrete properties. The episode revolves around the need to re-educate construction industry designers and engineers about the changing definitions and standards in concrete production. The speakers discuss the importance of communication, risk management, and practical problem-solving in the field. Takeaways The use of new cement and fly ash materials can introduce variability in water-to-cement ratios in concrete production. Managing risk and accurately calculating water-to-cement ratios is crucial for achieving desired concrete properties. Moisture probes and variations in water content and cement quantities can further complicate the calculation of water-to-cement ratios. Concrete production involves a balance between book Crete (lab calculations), lab Crete (batch plant production), real Crete (on-site delivery), and street Crete (field adjustments). The construction industry needs to re-educate designers and engineers about changing definitions and standards in concrete production. Practical problem-solving and risk management are essential in the field.Chapters 03:19 The Colin Lobo Story 08:45 The Three Buckets of Concrete: BookCrete, LabCrete, RealCrete 13:26 The Role of Risk Management in Concrete Production 17:06 The Impact of Production Variability on Water-to-Cement Ratios 22:21 The Importance of Accurate Measurements and Calibration 27:18 The Implications of Inaccurate Water-to-Cement Ratios 33:22 The Need to Redefine Water-to-Cement Ratio Calculations 35:10 The Need for Practical Solutions and the Challenge of Waiting for Change 38:40 The Shift from Approval to Review and the Importance of Communication 42:30 The Shift to Blended Cement and the Importance of Redefinition 47:05 Collaboration and Communication for Successful Projects 50:24 The Complexity of Concrete and the Need for Practical Conversations 55:19 The Importance of Communication and Practical Solutions***Did you learn something from this episode?

Humans are not merely animals or radically autonomous agents, and identity groups do not simply define us. It's time Christians challenge our modern culture's false understanding of human dignity and worth by contrasting it with the beautiful biblical definition of humanity. Imagine the impact if Christians could champion what it means to be humans as image bearers of God. This one change could flip our culture of death on its head. Discover the profound implications of what it means to be human as we discuss insights from Scott Allen's forthcoming book, "10 Words to Heal Our Broken World." As with each discussion on the ten words from Scott's book, we'll walk step by step through the true biblical definition, discuss the false redefined understanding, and conclude by giving you practical ways you can restore the true meaning of this word in your life, community, and nations. Together, let's celebrate our shared dignity as image-bearers of God and foster a more just and compassionate society for the glory of God and the blessing of nations.View the transcript, leave comments, and check out recommended resources on the Episode Landing Page! Updated details about the book will be posted on the Episode Landing Page as soon as they are available!

Scott Allen explains the important timing of his forthcoming book, Ten Words To Heal Our Broken World: Restoring the Meaning of Our Most Important Words. He shares why words and their definitions are critical and how each of us can faithfully steward, preserve, and pass these God-given words and meanings to future generations. We pray God will use this book to stir revival in the Church and restoration of our culture. Words form our thoughts, thoughts lead to action, and our actions can change the world. God's definitions of these essential words create flourishing nations, while their hijacked redefinitions result in destruction.View the transcript, leave comments, and check out recommended resources on the Episode Landing Page!More details about the new book will be published later this year at disciplenations.org

What's a time you've had something redefined? Was it sudden or over time? Some of us have woken up with an ordinary understanding of some specific part of our life and by the time we went to sleep, everything was different. Others had that change happen over months, years, decades. This Easter, we remember that Jesus' followers went through a whirlwind of emotions after Jesus' death leading to his resurrection. Grief. Offense. Shock. Doubt. Belief. In the morning, the offense of someone robbing a grave gave way to myriad emotional responses when the empty tomb was revealed. How do we make meaning out of the empty tombs of our lives? The good news of Jesus helps us redefine it all. Come and encounter more this Sunday and remember to invite a neighbor, classmate, or friend. What might God redefine for you this Easter?

Overthink goes meta! In the 100th episode Ellie and David reflect on the podcast's journey and the origins of its (flawless!) title. They take up the question, “What is overthinking?” Is it a kind of fixation on details or an unwanted split in the normal flow of ideas? Then, they turn to psychology to make sense of overthinking's highs and lows, as the distracting voice inside your head and a welcome relief from traumatic memories. Through the philosophies of John Dewey and the Frankfurt School, they look at different ways to understand the role of overthinking in philosophy and the humanities. Is overthinking a damper on good decisions, or perhaps the path to preserving the possibility of social critique?Check out the episode's extended cut here! Works DiscussedJohn Dewey, How We ThinkMax Horkheimer, “The Social Function of Philosophy”Herbert Marcuse, “Remarks on a Redefinition of Culture”Susan Nolen-Hoeksema, “Responses to depression and their effects on the duration of depressive episodes”Charles Orbendorf, “Co-Conscious Mentation”Suzanne Segerstrom et al., “A multidimensional structure for repetitive thought”Stephanie Wong et al., “Rumination as a Transdiagnostic Phenomenon in the 21st Century” Patreon | patreon.com/overthinkpodcast Website | overthinkpodcast.comInstagram & Twitter | @overthink_podEmail |  Dearoverthink@gmail.comYouTube | Overthink podcastSupport the show

Menopause is often misunderstood and stigmatized as a disease, when in fact it is a natural and inevitable phase of a woman's life. Today, I want to emphasize that menopause is not a disease, but rather a transition period that should be embraced and celebrated, and share stories of women who have taken control of their lives during menopause, defying societal expectations, and embracing their true selves. In this episode, I also had the pleasure of hosting Erin Keating, the amazing host of the "Hotter Than Ever" podcast and an award-winning Television Development and Production Executive. Erin shares her insights on navigating the ups and downs of life, embracing low feelings, and finding the courage to take the next right step towards becoming your healthiest, happiest self. Erin's podcast has been incredibly well-received, with listeners from all walks of life resonating with her honest and relatable conversations. She fearlessly explores topics that many of us shy away from, shedding light on the realities of midlife and the desire for a fresh start.

I don't want to be someone who pretends to be something I'm not, because what we are at this point in our lives is so powerful and has so much potential to change the world and to change our own happiness."

I don't have to be in charge of the how and I don't have to be in charge of the outcome. I just have to do my work and keep plugging away at it."
