Have you been so caught up in your day-to-day that you've forgotten what it feels like to live your day, not just get through it?In this episode, we explore just it is to let stress and routine distort your perspective, making a hard day feel like a hard life. But what if the truth is, everything is actually okay… you're just zoomed in too far?In this episode I'll share my own story of nearly hitting a breaking point, then finding surprising peace, not by fixing anything, but by stepping out of the cycle. One impulsive decision to chase a sunset led to perspective, presence, and the perfect Shanghainese dumplings. It's a reminder that a bad day doesn't equate to a bad life, that zooming out gives perspective to life's stressors, and that life's magic moments rarely show up in your planner.Questions to ask yourself:Are you zooming in on your life's problems?If you zoom out and look at the big picture, how is your life really? What really matters?What can you do to invite more of the "feeling of aliveness" into your day?To subscribe, comment, or ask a question, visit www.donnyraus.com.

Waylon shares a counter-intuitive, Buddhist-inspired tip for those struggling to find motivation—whether you're an entrepreneur, a parent, a teacher, or simply a human who has to "produce something." If we have to do something, have to earn something, want to accomplish something...well, we all sometimes struggle. " If you're struggling to 'produce' at work, take a step back. Pressure won't help. That's burnout and doesn't create great work or good leadership. Rediscover your motivation. Do something fun or kind for yourself. Then jump back in, with mission harnessed to motivation. You got this!" ~ Waylon H. Lewis

Have you ever wondered if the Bible was actually written to you—or just for you? In this episode of Seek Go Create, host Tim Winders unpacks why understanding the original audience and first-century context of the New Testament is crucial for truly grasping its message. Dive into the cultural backdrop, real-life tensions, and urgent challenges faced by early believers, and discover how this perspective can transform your faith and bring scripture to life in powerful new ways. If you've ever felt confused or disconnected from what you read in the Bible, this eye-opening episode is one you don't want to miss."If we ignore who the Bible was originally written to, we risk twisting what it actually means." - Tim Winders Access all show and episode resources HEREReasons To Listen:Unlock the Bible's Original Context: Discover why understanding who the Bible was originally written to in the first century completely changes its meaning—and how misreading this can lead to distorted theology.Expose Common Misinterpretations: Learn how applying ancient scriptures directly to modern life—especially politics and culture—can result in confusion, fear, and even push people away from the message of Jesus.Rediscover the Kingdom of God: Find out why the “Kingdom of God”—mentioned over a hundred times in the New Testament—is not a side topic, but the central theme often missed in Christian teaching today.Key Lessons:Understanding Biblical Context Is Essential - The Bible was written for us, but not to us. It's crucial to recognize that the original audience lived in a different time, place, and culture. When we ignore that, we risk misinterpreting or misapplying Scripture.Audience Matters More Than You Think - Every book, letter, and passage had a specific audience facing real issues of their day. Learning who these people were and what they were experiencing helps us better understand the true message behind the text.Most New Testament Writings Happened Within a Narrow Timeline - The bulk of the New Testament was written between AD 45 and AD 70, a period of massive change and tension for the early followers of Jesus—especially as the Old Covenant faded and the New Covenant took hold.Misapplying Scripture Causes Confusion and Harm - Trying to directly apply first-century issues or warnings to modern politics or culture leads to shallow, sometimes damaging theology. Instead, we should seek to understand principles that transcend time, not force-fit ancient texts into today's headlines.The Kingdom of God Is the Core Message - The Kingdom isn't a side topic—it's central to Jesus' teachings and to the mission of the early church. Recognizing this helps us connect all the threads of the New Testament in a powerful, life-giving way.Episode Highlights:00:00 Introduction: Rethinking the Bible's Audience00:59 The Problem with Modern Bible Interpretation02:13 Understanding the First Century Context03:12 My Journey with Biblical Context07:30 The Importance of Audience in Interpretation09:10 Misapplications and Their Consequences13:53 The Timeline of the New Testament17:47 The Significance of AD 7025:08 The Kingdom of God: The Core MessageResources for Leaders from Tim Winders & SGC:
Rediscover the power of repentance—not as a heavy burden, but as a skill that leads to deep transformation. Our lives are shaped by the stories we tell ourselves, and too often those stories keep us stuck. But God, in His mercy, calls us to return—to rethink, to realign, and to experience healing, renewal, and joy.
In this week's episode, Ken is flying solo and digging deep into the sweet—and sometimes challenging—topic of little childlike faith. With the hustle and bustle of August on his mind—from family, church activities, and even preparing for his first TEDx talk—Ken reflects on what it truly means to approach life and faith with the trusting heart of a child.Have you ever wondered what could change if you believed, without question, that things are working out exactly as they should? Ken unpacks his own struggles and insights about embracing a child's faith: not naive optimism, but the deep assurance that God's plans are always better than our own. He poses thought-provoking questions: What if we believed we deserved miracles? What if we simply trusted, like a child, that our requests would be honored in the best possible way? Tune in as Ken invites you to rethink what real faith is and dares you to imagine your life transformed by a little child's perspective.Please share this episode with someone who needs to hear it.

Ready for a cosmic discovery? Imagine if members of Deep Purple, Iron Butterfly, and Johnny Winter's bands joined forces for one brief, blazing psychedelic trip—left behind in the dusty bins of 1970s rock. That's Captain Beyond: a cult supergroup whose self-titled debut LP isn't just underrated, but a secret handshake among true riff obsessives, stoner rock aficionados, and prog heads alike.In this episode, the Dig Me Out crew dives deep into Captain Beyond's 1972 debut, unpacking how a band with pedigree and ambition—yet dogged by legal drama and label confusion—could create an album both seamless and strange, with songs flowing together in widescreen, time-shifting suites. Hear wild stories about Rod Evans' post-Purple exile, the musical chemistry born in a Sunset Boulevard rehearsal room, and the band's mind-melting blend of proto-metal, jazz fusion, and space rock.The talk turns to why Captain Beyond has influenced bands from Kyuss to Monster Magnet without ever grabbing mainstream fame. The panel debates whether the record's genre-melting ambition is a blessing or a hidden barrier, calls out riffs and grooves that predate entire subgenres, and explores which tracks land hardest five decades later. If you love the restless invention of early Yes, the cosmic attack of Monster Magnet, or the boundary-pushing jams of Sabbath and Santana, don't skip this one.Episode Highlights0:00 – “Dancing Madly Backwards (On a Sea of Air)” intro – Meet the unsung supergroup and hear how their debut warped the hard rock rulebook.6:38 – Backstory & Band Drama – Lost contracts, missing songwriting credits, and the 48-hour recording sprint that captured lightning.15:24 – Genre-Bending Sound – Jazz, prog, heavy grooves, and psychedelia swirl in tracks like “Mesmerization Eclipse” and “Raging River of Fear.”30:05 – Rod Evans: Rock's Mystery Man – How the Deep Purple frontman vanished from music after giving this band their haunting voice.39:52 – Suite-Like Structure – Why this album flows more like a trip than a collection of songs.47:20 – Legacy & Influence – From stoner rock to modern prog, Captain Beyond's fingerprints are everywhere—if you know where to listen.55:13 – “I Can't Feel Nothin'” – The finale of the album: relentless, relentless, relentless.Ready to blast off?

Hometown Radio 07/21/25 5p: Kari Cardinale from Modern Elders Academy discusses how mid-life and retired people rediscover themselves
Ross Barkan is a 35 year-old American journalist and novelist from Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. His third novel, Glass Century, was published on 6 May 2025.On a semi-vacation to London this summer, Ross and Jack met to speak about Ross's favourite Martin Amis novel, Inside Story.This the first episode of the series to deal explicitly, and at length, with Donald Trump.Looking beyond the playful concept of 'The Maggot Probability' (first coined by Kingsley Amis to explain the degenerative effects of an ageing brain), Ross and Jack discuss Amis's graver concerns about true impact of America's septuagenarian president on its politics and political culture.As a New Yorker, Ross recognises what he calls Trump's "outer-borough mindset", an attitude of adversity towards the elites of Manhattan who famously paid Trump little serious attention before his meteoric rise to office in 2016 forced them to.That mindset, he argues, became Trump's calling card to the left behind of America, for whom Washington had come to represent the same den of iniquity and aloofness that the gleaming towers of The Big Apple had to Trump in the 70s and 80s.And yet, while Amis does not take Trump lightly, Ross says his criticisms of Trump lack the corrosive power of the pen that Amis was otherwise known for. Amis confesses to taking an arch tone on the subject in Inside Story, though says he does so only because Trump is a "sick joke".It's suggested later in the conversation that while Amis excelled at diagnosing modern pathologies in characters like John Self, he may have bottled it when it came to confronting the real thing in Trump. Does it take a true New Yorker to satirise this century's most controversial Western leader? It may help to read Ross's new novel before answering.Finally, listen to this episode to discover what Ross took as indispensable writing advice from Amis in Inside Story.FOLLOW US ON TWITTER/ X: @mymartinamisFIND US ON YOUTUBE Hosted on Acast.

"We're just not compatible." "Why is marriage this hard?" "I keep getting the ick every time he does that thing." "Maybe I married the wrong person." You didn't think it would feel like this. The silence. The tension. The resentment that creeps in even when he's just breathing. You're not dramatic. You're not broken. But something isn't right — and no one prepared you for what happens when the story in your head about your marriage starts to shift. You've Googled it. You've tried to talk about it. You've done everything “right”… and still feel more alone than ever. This episode isn't about blaming anyone — not you, not him. It's about one shift — a new perspective you've likely never heard put this way — that might completely reframe the story you've been telling yourself… and give you a way back to what you've been aching for. Listen to the end. It changes everything.
Sex isn't always easy to talk about, but today, you're going to hear from someone who is bringing the sexy back to sex ed.

Shan's approach to sex education is welcoming and approachable, and she has a reverence for this topic that is oh-so central to our humanity and aliveness.

And if you're looking for practical advice on the art of seduction, you'll get that in this episode, too (enter Shan's iconic “sexy eye triangle” tip). There's so much to glean from this episode, whether you're looking to spice things up with your partner in the bedroom, move past sexual shame, or just see sex in a new way.You'll come away from this episode with:A refreshed perspective on the “intimate self” and a reminder of how central our sexuality is to our humanityPractical tips for how to use flirting and seduction to connect with others, and even more importantly, with yourself New ideas for how to bring novelty, improved communication, and playfulness into the bedroom“Your Midyear Refresh” on MasterClass: masterclass.com/yourmidyearrefreshCouple Therapy Certification Course from PESI: pesi.com/dralexandra“The Art of Seduction on MasterClass: masterclass.com/shanKäma, Shan's jewelry collaboration with SurmeyiShan's websiteLOVERS by shan, Shan's podcastOrder Dr. Alexandra's book, Love Every DaySubscribe to Dr. Alexandra's NewsletterSubmit a Listener Question

The Dad Edge Podcast (formerly The Good Dad Project Podcast)
Have you ever asked yourself: "Why am I constantly chasing her attention, and feeling like it's never enough?" "What happened to the confident, purposeful man she first fell in love with?" "Can I truly reignite attraction in my marriage by focusing on myself?" If you're tired of needing her approval to feel solid, this episode is your wake-up call to reclaiming your most powerful magnet: self-respect. Welcome back to The Dad Edge Podcast. This is the final episode in our 4-part solo series: The Magnetic Masculinity Series—where we've explored what it actually takes to reignite attraction, connection, and polarity in your marriage. In Week 1, we exposed resentment and how it silently erodes intimacy. Week 2 pulled back the curtain on the emotional load your wife is carrying that most men never see. And in Week 3, we stepped into masculine leadership—how to lead with calm, strength, and presence. Now, in this powerful conclusion, we're bringing it home. Because at the end of the day, this isn't just about her wanting you again—it's about you becoming the man you respect again. Become the best husband you can: https://bit.ly/deamarriageyoutube In this empowering final episode, we dig into: Rediscover the Man She Said “Yes” To: Why most men lose their "edge" not because of marriage, but because they stop leading themselves and how to reclaim that energy, mission, and spark. Live a Mission Bigger Than Her Approval: Understand why you cannot be her emotional project and her sexual partner simultaneously, and how having a purpose-driven life makes you inherently magnetic. Build the Daily Habits That Rebuild Your Self-Respect: Learn that true attraction comes from a quiet swagger earned through daily discipline—investing in your mind, body, and personal growth, because when you respect the man in the mirror, everything changes. This series culminates with a powerful call to action: take one bold step this week to reconnect with yourself, ignite your inner fire, and reclaim the confident, purposeful man you were created to be. Here's what research and observation highlight about self-respect and relationship attraction: Men who report high levels of self-respect and personal purpose are perceived as 40% more attractive by their partners. Engaging in consistent daily habits for personal growth (e.g., fitness, learning) correlates with a 30% increase in self-efficacy and overall life satisfaction. Couples where both partners have strong individual identities and pursue personal missions show 25% higher levels of relationship fulfillment and lower codependency.

If you're childless after infertility or IVF and wondering how to move forward in a life that looks nothing like what you imagined, this episode of The “So Now What?” Podcast is for you. You did everything you could to become a mother. You prayed, tried, hoped, and gave it your all. And now you're living in the aftermath of a dream that didn't come true, with no guide for how to feel whole again. Maybe the world has led you to believe that without children, your life is supposed to be quiet, sad, or incomplete. Perhaps you've been carrying that weight so long, it feels like part of your identity. But what if it isn't? In this episode, I'm offering you one of the most radical truths I've ever learned on the other side of IVF and infertility:
What happens when life as you know it falls apart — and instead of breaking down, you decide to board a plane and find yourself again? Sometimes the best way to get clarity is to step away from the noise and give yourself space to breathe. Travel has a way of helping us see things differently — not just the world, but ourselves. It's in those quiet, unfamiliar places that we often begin to hear our own voice more clearly. When I first connected with Christina Cridebring, I knew right away she had a powerful story to tell. Her journey — one that took her across continents and deep into self-discovery — eventually became the heart of her memoir, Black Heart Life. In this episode, I'm sitting down with Christina to talk about what it really looked like behind the scenes: how travel helped her come back to herself, what it took to move past fear and publish her story, and how sharing it sparked healing — not just for her, but for those around her too. Hit PLAY to hear: How Christina used travel as a tool for healing and rediscovery The unexpected challenges of publishing a deeply personal memoir What it really takes to write your story — even if you're “not a writer” Navigating fear, vulnerability, and imposter syndrome when sharing your truth The surprising way storytelling sparked healing conversations in her family Why integrating your personal and professional self leads to deeper alignment The importance of being honest, even when your story involves others This episode is your reminder that your story matters — not because it's perfect, but because it's yours. Whether you're in the middle of your own reinvention or simply wondering what your next chapter looks like, let Christina's journey inspire you to be brave, tell the truth, and take that first step. And if her story speaks to you, share this episode with someone who needs it — because when we share our stories, we shine a light for others to find their way.
