Have you ever caught yourself saying "no" to your kids' adventures out of pure instinct — only to wonder later if maybe the risk was worth it? In this episode, Chris and Melissa talk about how they're learning to raise kids who are more confident, capable, and adventurous by saying yes a little more often. The idea started after Melissa read The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt — a powerful book that explores how modern parenting and constant digital connection have created more anxious, less independent kids. Together, they reflect on how the shift from outdoor play to screens has changed childhood, and what parents can do to reclaim freedom and resilience for their kids. They share personal stories from their own family — like letting their teenage son navigate New York City solo, their kids exploring Paris and Croatia by themselves, and their 10-year-old's first bike ride to school (which included a coyote sighting and a dog chase). Each story carries the same theme: that a little bit of risk, independence, and real-world adventure is not just okay — it's essential. Chris and Melissa also discuss how media consumption has shaped our fears, why the world may not actually be more dangerous than it used to be, and how giving kids appropriate autonomy builds courage and confidence. They tackle the smartphone dilemma too — why they're rethinking when their kids get phones, and what it means to trade "connection" for constant anxiety. This episode will inspire you to loosen the reins just a bit, trust your kids more, and rediscover the joy of letting them learn through life — not just lectures. As Chris puts it, "Adventure builds confidence. Confidence builds courage. And courage builds character."   LINKS: All Links Family Brand!  stan.store/familybrand familybrand.com/quiz familybrand.com/retreats.  Links For This Episode: https://www.anxiousgeneration.com Episode Minute By Minute: 00:00 – The inspiration behind today's topic: The Anxious Generation 01:00 – Introducing the Family Brand Croatia Cruise (June 20–27!) 03:00 – Letting their 17-year-old explore New York City alone 05:00 – How independence builds confidence and perspective 06:00 – Kids navigating Paris, Croatia, and new cities on their own 08:00 – The 10-year-old's first solo bike ride (and wild encounters) 10:00 – How small risks create big growth and resilience 11:00 – Is the world really more dangerous than it used to be? 12:00 – The role media plays in fueling parental anxiety 13:00 – What The Anxious Generation teaches about freedom vs. fear 15:00 – Revisiting your family's smartphone rules 16:00 – Chris's powerful analogy: "Would you pay for your child's destruction?" 17:00 – The Harvard study on boredom and why it's good for kids 18:00 – Rediscovering stillness and creative thought 19:00 – Building community around shared parenting values 20:00 – Changing the narrative: why "different" is good 21:00 – Rewriting your family's agreements — it's never too late 22:00 – Holiday reflections: gifts that inspire adventure, not anxiety

Knowing who we are. Really knowing. I walk you through a simple identity journal prompt that helps you reconnect with yourself and start peeling back the layers of what you think you should be so you can see who you actually are. Your past can inform you but it does not define you, and your worth is not tied to what you have already accomplished.This is a reminder to come back to center as often as possible. To drop the labels that do not serve you. To slow down long enough to recognize that your life is in front of you right now. The opportunity to connect with yourself is available today, and that connection can shape every other part of your life moving forward.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.

"A quiet disposition and a heart giving thanks at any given moment is the real test of the extent to which we love God at that moment." - Francis Schaeffer.

In this episode, I sit down with Michael King Jr., an executive coach who works with Fortune 500 companies, consultants, creators, and entrepreneurs who want to operate at the highest level. Michael opens up about his journey from leading a thriving church to stepping into the world of executive coaching, and how that transition forced him to reexamine his identity, his purpose, and what it truly means to lead with impact. We talk about the art of storytelling and why it is one of the most underrated tools in leadership and communication today. Michael breaks down his signature prioritization framework called Now, Next, and Nope, which helps leaders gain clarity during chaotic seasons so they can focus on what actually moves the needle. He shares how this approach grew from his own real life experiences of burnout, reinvention, and learning what deserves his full attention. Michael also gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the moment he stepped away from his long-time church role and how that difficult season helped him rediscover his passion for music, creativity, and coaching. We explore the key turning points in his growth, the importance of setting boundaries, the power of saying no, and why leaving people and situations better than you found them is one of the most important leadership principles you can commit to. This conversation is packed with practical wisdom, powerful mindset shifts, and real strategies you can implement right away. In this episode you will learn: • How Michael transitioned from church leadership to executive coaching and rebuilt his identity • Why storytelling is one of the most essential tools in leadership, communication, and influence • How the Now, Next, and Nope framework works and how it helps leaders eliminate distraction • The personal breakthrough that led Michael back to music and creativity • Why saying no is critical for protecting energy, clarity, and performance • The difference between healthy growth and unhealthy pressure • How to create a life and career that feels aligned with who you are becoming • What it means to leave people, teams, and environments better than you found them • How top performers maintain balance while still aiming for excellence If you are looking for insight into high performance, clarity-driven leadership, and tools that help you operate with confidence and intention, this conversation delivers from start to finish. Tune in to hear how Michael King Jr. helps individuals and organizations unlock their full potential while staying grounded in purpose.

Professor and senior associate dean of engagement Janet A. Jokela discusses her article, "Celebrating internal medicine through our human connections with patients." Janet shares moving stories from medical students who are discovering the profound importance of human connection, often for the first time. She explores how these early, sacred connections (like listening to a grieving patient or advocating for the uninsured) are the true reward of internal medicine, reminding us that medicine is not black and white. Janet champions the power of storytelling as a critical tool for patient advocacy and refutes the bias that technical backgrounds preclude compassionate care. This conversation is a celebration of the future of internal medicine and the empathy that defines it. Our presenting sponsor is Microsoft Dragon Copilot.

Sometimes we don’t get to choose when life asks us to begin again. One moment you’re following a dream, and the next you’re rebuilding from the pieces of what used to be. It’s a strange kind of starting over – the kind you never asked for but somehow learn to live inside. Ava Jones knows that space well. At seventeen, she survived a devastating car accident that took her father’s life and changed everything she knew about herself. Two years later, she was diagnosed with stage four cancer. Through it all, she’s learning what it means to keep moving, to ask for help, and to find gratitude even in the hardest chapters. This conversation isn’t about silver linings. It’s about choosing to live when the story doesn’t go the way you planned. Ava’s honesty reminds us that starting over doesn’t mean you’ve failed – it means you’re still here. What You’ll Hear The day Ava’s life changed forever Learning to walk, talk, and feel again after trauma Grieving her father while navigating recovery Letting go of the basketball dream that once defined her Facing cancer with honesty and faith in her support system Rediscovering joy in small, ordinary moments Listen to the full episode and more conversations like this at:

Every generation faces the pull to drift from orthodoxy—to chase the thrill of false teaching or to be carried along by the cultural tide. And every generation must be reawakened to the true thrill of orthodoxy: the wonder and surprise found in rediscovering the electrifying paradoxes at the center of the Christian faith. In this episode, Dr. Jeff talks with Trevin Wax about his book The Thrill of Orthodoxy. Wax turns the tables on the idea that Christian doctrine is narrow or outdated. Drawing from the church's historic creeds, he explains what orthodoxy is, why we can trust it, and how we often wander from it. By revealing how heresies always shrink the truth—elevating one idea at the expense of the whole—Wax shows that false teaching is ultimately dull and predictable, while orthodoxy is where the real adventure begins.

Washington once grew hundreds of unique apple varieties—many of which disappeared from modern cultivation. In this episode, David Benscoter of the Washington Lost Apple Project shares how he tracks down these forgotten varieties, why so many vanished, and what it takes to preserve their genetics for the future. We explore how old orchards are located and identified, the stories behind rare rediscoveries, and how these heritage apples contribute to biodiversity and resilience in a changing climate. David also offers insight into how home gardeners can support conservation efforts and even grow heritage fruit trees themselves.

If you've been feeling like November has been one challenge after another, take a deep breath - relief is coming. This week brings not one but TWO major planetary shifts that will help you find resolution, clarity, and forward momentum.The Big News: Planets Going DirectSaturn Goes Direct - November 27thSaturn has been retrograde in Pisces, asking us to review our systems, structures, and karmic contracts. When it stations direct on Thursday, you'll start to feel things clicking into place. This is the last time Saturn will be in Pisces for 30 years, so we're wrapping up major lessons around:* What “home” and belonging mean to you* Your relationship with systems and authority* Spiritual structure and boundaries* The Great Reveal (more on this below)Mercury Goes Direct - November 29thThe retrograde that brought us broken pipes, communication mishaps, and technological chaos finally ends this weekend! You'll notice:* Conversations becoming clearer* Travel and transportation smoothing out* Technology cooperating again* Financial clarity (check those credit card statements!)* Relationship misunderstandings resolvingThe complete Mercury retrograde cycle finishes December 16th, but you'll feel relief starting now.The Blessing: Grand Trine in WaterThroughout this Mercury retrograde, we've had a beautiful Grand Trine in water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) supporting us. This cosmic blessing has been helping things come together easily, even when challenges arise.Think of it like this: Yes, you might have had a broken pipe (hello, Mercury retrograde in Scorpio - a water sign!), but somehow the plumber was available same-day. The universe has been gifting you exactly what you need to get through this.The Grand Trine involves:* Jupiter in Cancer (24°) - expansion of home and emotional security* Venus/Mercury in Scorpio (22-24°) - transformation in relationships and resources* Saturn/Neptune in Pisces (25-29°) - spiritual structure and the Great RevealIf you have placements at 22-29 degrees in water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces), you're feeling this support strongly.The Great Reveal ContinuesAll year, Saturn and Neptune have been dancing together in Pisces, creating what I call “The Great Reveal.” Every time Saturn moves away from Neptune, something hidden comes to light. We're seeing this publicly (hello, Epstein files), but it's also happening in your personal life. What truths are being revealed to you? What systems or structures in your life are showing their real nature?Saturn going direct means we'll see more revelations in the coming weeks, though the complete truth won't emerge until February-March 2026 when Saturn moves into Aries.Mars at the CrossroadsMars is squaring the North and South Nodes this week, putting you at a crossroads. You're being asked to:* Take action toward your future (North Node in Pisces)* Release what no longer serves you (South Node in Virgo)* Trust your spiritual path* Make bold moves in the direction of your dreamsThis isn't comfortable energy, but it's necessary for growth. As Bright Hawk reminded us in meditation: “The universe is unfolding exactly as it should.”Daily BreakdownMonday: Moon in Capricorn creates a T-square with Jupiter and Chiron. Healing energy rises to the surface. It may be uncomfortable, but embrace the opportunity to heal.Tuesday: Moon moves into Aquarius. Venus and Mercury dance in Scorpio - review your finances and relationships. Clear communication about money and values.Wednesday: The Grand Trine peaks at 24 degrees. Things flow easily.

*Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player. Summary In this compelling discussion, the family explore the deep connection between Christianity and its Jewish roots. Ron, Mike, Debbie, and Ken uncover how centuries of church history have drifted from the original faith of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. They emphasize the need for believers to rediscover the Hebraic foundations of their faith, restoring the oneness that existed in the early church. As the Holy Spirit reveals truth for this present age, the group recognizes that God is blending Jew and Gentile together once again, preparing His bride for the culmination of the ages. Show Notes The Root of the Faith: Christianity's foundation is found in the patriarchs—Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The early church lost its connection to Judaism, leading to centuries of misunderstanding.Historical Separation: By the second and third centuries, Christianity had distanced itself from its Jewish heritage, contributing to antisemitism and a perversion of the original message.The Law and Fulfillment: Jesus did not abolish the Law but fulfilled it (Matthew 5:17). The Old Testament provides the framework for understanding the New Testament.Restoration and Revelation: The Holy Spirit is unveiling truth in this age to bring restoration and unity. Believers must return to understanding God through His original covenant people.The First-Century Model: Early believers continued observing feasts—Passover, Pentecost, and Tabernacles—while walking in the revelation of Christ.Blending of Jew and Gentile: The Spirit is merging both groups into one new man (Ephesians 2:14-16). This union represents the bride being made ready for Christ.Culmination of the Ages: God is perfecting His people by restoring what was lost. A new era is dawning, not by invention but by revelation of ancient truth. Quotes “The root is the patriarchs — Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The Christian church left those roots, and that's why we've had 2,000 years of perversion.” — Ron“If you don't have the root, you cannot understand the New Testament. It's the revelation of the Old...

In this continuation of last Sunday's message, we dive deeper into what it truly means to walk in the fear of the Lord and why this virtue is at the core of spiritual growth, obedience, and intimacy with God. Rev. Roland Anang explores how Jesus Himself operated in the sevenfold Spirit of God and how the Spirit of the Fear of the Lord empowered Him to live a life fully pleasing to the Father. This message exposes why many believers today lack spiritual power, reverence, and sensitivity – and how returning to holy fear is the key to restoration. We rediscover the foundational principle that shaped every great man of God — from Moses to David, Solomon, the prophets, the apostles, and ultimately Jesus Christ. This is a life-transforming call back to holy reverence, obedience, and spiritual sensitivity so that the presence and power of God can be restored to the believer and to the Church.

"God doesn't just care that he is worshiped, he cares how he is worshiped." Pastor Adriel Sanchez and Core Christianity producer Aaron Simon discuss what Scripture says is fitting and acceptable in a worship service, and how many evangelical churches have sought to domesticate worship, making it comfortable and casual rather than reverent and transcendent.

In this amazing episode, I'm joined by Julian Bermudez for a deep conversation about trauma, healing, and the role psychedelics can play in our transformation.

In this episode we explore: ✨ The roots of trauma and how it shows up in our present lives ✨ Common survival patterns such as disconnection and unworthiness ✨ How to begin recognizing and healing these patterns ✨ Psychedelics as tools for self-inquiry, neurogenesis, and expanded awareness ✨ The mycelial network, nature's intelligence, and what it teaches us about interconnectedness ✨ Why microdosing and integration therapy can be as powerful as big psychedelic journeys ✨ The importance of initiation, presence, and remembering our natural state This episode offers profound insights into the healing journey and how we can return to wholeness.

Love & Wonder: Becoming Childlike In A Disenchanted Age

In this teaching, the speaker explores the theme “Rediscovering the Fear of the Lord.” Using Isaiah 11:2–3 as the foundation, the message highlights the fear of the Lord as the core delight of Jesus, the entryway to all spiritual graces, and the foundation of godly character. Through biblical examples—Christ, Joseph, and Job—the message emphasizes that the fear of the Lord is not merely an emotion but a lifestyle, a spirit, a treasure, and a measure of spiritual maturity. The speaker challenges believers to examine what they truly delight in and calls the church back to reverence, honor, and holy living. Main Scripture Isaiah 11:2–3 The Spirit of the Lord Wisdom Understanding Counsel Might Knowledge Fear of the Lord “His delight is in the fear of the Lord…” Key Points 1. The Fear of the Lord Was Christ's Delight Jesus didn't delight primarily in power, wisdom, or understanding. His delight was in the fear of the Lord. This is what made Him stand out in character, obedience, and endurance—even knowing betrayal, pain, and humiliation ahead of time. 2. The Fear of the Lord Is the Foundation It is the substructure—the foundation upon which all the other spirits (wisdom, counsel, power, knowledge) rest. Without the fear of the Lord, none of the other spiritual graces can genuinely operate in a believer's life. 3. The Fear of the Lord Is God's “Treasure” Isaiah calls it a “treasure.” When you gain a person's treasure, you gain access to everything connected to them. If you gain the fear of the Lord, you gain deeper access to God Himself. 4. What You Fear Becomes Your Master Many people fear: Man Money Accidents Flying Their spouse Their hometown But only the fear of the Lord leads to life, stability, and divine favour

Salvation was treated like a transaction through rituals and indulgences, and the gospel was buried under centuries of human authority. The Bible was locked away in Latin, unreadable to most people. But God was preparing a movement of rediscovery—the Protestant Reformation.In this episode, we'll see how men like Martin Luther, Ulrich Zwingli, John Calvin, John Knox, and the lesser-known Anabaptists helped bring Christianity back to the simple gospel of faith in Jesus Christ.The Reformation wasn't rebellion—it was rediscovery.
