This week on bigcitysmalltown, host Bob Rivard speaks with Brandon Seale, a San Antonio-based energy entrepreneur and historian, about one of Texas's most consequential yet least understood events: the 1813 Battle of Medina. Seale discusses his years-long efforts to locate the lost battlefield and the surprising discoveries that are reshaping the historical understanding of early Texas.Bob and Brandon trace how an executive leading cross-border energy projects became deeply invested in uncovering the stories that shaped San Antonio's identity, especially during the Mexican War of Independence era. From the multidisciplinary search for the Medina battlefield—combining archival research, metal detecting, and veteran-led archaeological surveying—to the broader challenges of public memory and historical trauma, the conversation explores the lasting impact of forgotten chapters in Texas history.They cover:• The latest developments in the quest to confirm the Battle of Medina's location• Why the Battle of Medina has been largely left out of public consciousness• The historical trauma and political complexities that have obscured the story for generations• The collaborative efforts between local historical commissions, archaeologists, and veteran organizations to recover artifacts and restore the battle's narrative• How new scholarship and public projects—like a forthcoming documentary and legislative initiatives—are bringing renewed attention to this pivotal moment• The connections between San Antonio's unique past, its indigenous roots, and ongoing efforts to reflect a more complete history in educational and cultural institutionsThis episode offers an in-depth look at how San Antonio's history is being actively rediscovered—and reconsidered—for a new generation.

Buried within the Torah lies a mitzvah so unexpected and profound that it redefines how we understand spiritual growth. The commandment of Viduy Ma'aser—the confession of tithes—stands apart as perhaps the only mitzvah that calls upon us not to confess our failures, but to declare our successes.Unlike the familiar confessions of Yom Kippur, where we openly acknowledge our shortcomings, Viduy Ma'aser asks us to stand before God and confidently proclaim, “I have done what You commanded me.” This statement, made twice in each seven-year cycle, requires farmers (and by extension, modern observant Jews) to affirm aloud that they have distributed their tithes according to divine instruction, ensuring they reached the Levites, strangers, orphans, and widows.What makes this mitzvah so groundbreaking is how it addresses a universal imbalance in our spiritual lives. As Rabbi Aaron Lopiansky observes, while we tend to dwell on our shortcomings, we often struggle to recognize our achievements. Here, the Torah, in its infinite wisdom, establishes a ritual framework that compels us to acknowledge our successes. It invites us to embrace our “spiritual swag,” to recognize our capabilities and celebrate how far we've come. This act of positive affirmation doesn't just build confidence—it lays the foundation for authentic growth and self-transformation.The timing of this lesson is especially poignant. As we approach a season of introspection and self-assessment, it's vital to remember that honest spiritual accounting requires balance: acknowledging not only where we fell short but also where we triumphed. Over the past year, you've likely accomplished more than you realize. You've made hard choices, overcome challenges, and fulfilled divine expectations in meaningful ways. The mitzvah of Viduy Ma'aser reminds us to give voice to these victories—not out of arrogance, but as an honest acknowledgment of the divine potential within us.Rediscovering this often-overlooked mitzvah offers a powerful lesson: recognizing and articulating your spiritual successes might be the missing key to deepening your relationship with God. Let this practice inspire you to look back with gratitude and forward with confidence, knowing that growth and transformation begin with the truth of what you've already achieved.Support the showJoin The Motivation Congregation WhatsApp community for daily motivational Torah content!------------------Check out our other Torah Podcasts and content!

After a Year of Silence: Uncrowned Podcast Returns with Renewed Faith, Purpose, and Brotherhood For the first time in a year, I'm sitting down in front of a microphone again. The past twelve months were a year of silence – no new podcast episodes, no social media motivation, just quiet. During that hiatus, I was wrestling with my own mind and soul. On the outside, I'm a Marine Corps veteran and men's life coach known for uplifting others. On the inside, I was struggling with men's mental health, facing creative burnout and even battling waves of depression. I had poured so much into helping others overcome their pain that I hadn't fully acknowledged my own. When I finally hit a wall, it felt like depression and doubt had locked me in a lonely room, questioning my purpose and direction. What kept me going through those dark days was a spark of faith that refused to die out. In the stillness of that year-long break, I found myself praying more honestly than ever before. God met me in the silence. Little by little, I felt a pull back toward my calling. This wasn't a lightning-bolt moment or a quick fix. It was more like a gentle nudge, a divine redirection that guided me out of the gloom. I realized I couldn't carry these burdens alone. So I leaned into my faith and reached out to a few close brothers for support. That combination of honest prayer, faith-based self-development, and brotherhood became my lifeline and the path to reclaiming the fire I thought I had lost. A Year of Silence and Creative Burnout: Facing My Own Mental Health Crisis Going silent for a year wasn't a marketing move or a planned sabbatical—it was pure survival. I hit a point of creative burnout where the passion I once had for sharing my voice just fizzled out. Every time I tried to record an episode or write a post, I felt empty. Instead of forcing it, I stepped back completely. At first, I felt guilty and even ashamed about needing a break. Wasn't I supposed to be the strong one? As a former Marine, I've pushed through all kinds of pain. And as a men's life coach, I often encourage other men to speak up about mental health. Yet there I was, unable to find words for my own struggles. Admitting that I felt broken and depressed was humbling and hard. It meant confronting the stigma around men's mental health head-on, even within myself. During that quiet year, I learned to sit with my discomfort instead of running from it. Some days I journaled my thoughts; other days I just sat in prayer asking God why I felt so lost. There were mornings I woke up with a weight on my chest, the kind that makes it hard to even get out of bed. I wondered if my season of purpose had passed. But in that stillness, I also started to hear a whisper of hope. It's amazing how, when everything else is quiet, God's voice becomes clearer. Through late-night conversations with my wife and heartfelt talks with close friends, I began to see that taking care of my own mind and spirit wasn't weakness—it was necessary. This period of silence and reflection was painful, but it was also healing. It forced me to prioritize my mental health as a man and get real about emotions I had buried for years. Christian Masculinity and a God-First Lifestyle: Rediscovering What It Means to Be a Man of Faith As I worked through my internal battles, I found myself reexamining what being a man truly means to me. I've always identified with being a tough guy—the Marine, the weightlifter, the provider. But during my hiatus, I felt God reminding me that Christian masculinity isn't about never cracking or always having the answers. It's about humility, faith, and leading with love. True strength can mean having the courage to say, “I need help” or “I can't do this alone.” This was a wake-up call that living a God-first lifestyle had to be more than a slogan. I started making my relationship with God the foundation of my day-to-day life again, not just something I squeezed in on Sunday. Putting God first changed how I saw my responsibilities and ambitions. Instead of measuring myself by career success or macho standards, I started focusing on character and faithfulness. I asked God to guide my decisions—whether it was how I spent my mornings or how I could return to podcasting with the right heart. Slowly, I felt my purpose being renewed. The more I leaned into prayer and scripture, the more my identity shifted from “Joe, the guy who has it all together” to “Joe, a servant of God trying to live with purpose.” In practical terms, that meant starting each day with prayer, getting back into reading the Bible for wisdom, and being present with my family and community in ways I hadn't before. I can't emphasize enough how much relief it brought to let go of my ego and let God lead. This is what faith-based self-development looked like for me: less of me trying to control everything, and more trusting God to shape me. It's an ongoing process, but it truly set me on the path to reclaiming my purpose as a man of faith. Overcoming Depression through Faith and Faith-Based Self-Development One of the biggest challenges I had to confront in that year was overcoming depression. I haven't talked about this much publicly before, but I want to be real about it here. There were days in the past year when a dark cloud hung over me. I felt like I was letting everyone down—my family, my listeners, myself. Depression is a heavy word and an even heavier experience. For me, overcoming it wasn't about “manning up” in the traditional sense; it was about breaking down my pride and allowing God and others to help build me back up. My faith became a lifeline in this fight. I remember nights when I couldn't sleep, and I'd open my Bible to the Psalms. King David's raw honesty in those pages—crying out in despair one moment and praising God the next—made me feel less alone. It gave me permission to cry out, too, and to believe that God was listening to my pain. I also took some very practical steps as part of this faith-based self-development journey. I started seeing a Christian counselor who helped me sort through the tangle of thoughts in my head. We worked on how to align my daily habits with my values. That meant setting healthier boundaries with work, making time for rest (real rest, not just crashing in front of the TV), and surrounding myself with people who speak life into me. I can't overstate how much these small, faithful steps added up. Day by day, through prayer, counseling, and personal development rooted in faith, the fog of depression began to lift. I found myself laughing again, dreaming again, and creating again. It felt like spiritual growth in real time—each prayer, each honest conversation was like climbing one step out of a deep hole. I'm not going to say I've got it all figured out or that I'll never struggle again. But I now have tools and a community grounded in faith to lean on. And most importantly, I have a renewed understanding that God's strength is made perfect in our weakness (as Scripture beautifully reminds us). That truth carried me through and gave me hope that I could not just survive that season, but come back stronger and more purpose-driven than before. Reclaiming Purpose and Embracing Spiritual Growth As the haze of burnout and depression cleared, I started to feel genuinely excited about life again. It was like waking up after a long sleep. With God's guidance, I began reclaiming my purpose instead of letting negative thoughts tell me I didn't have one. I realized my calling hadn't vanished—it was just waiting for me to pick it back up with a new perspective. In fact, what I went through refined that calling. I'm more convinced than ever that helping men grow in faith, mental wellness, and character is what I'm meant to do. But now I'm approaching it with a humbler heart and a more patient spirit. This renewed sense of purpose led to an unexpected burst of creativity. The floodgates opened after that long drought. I found myself writing again, but this time with more honesty and heart than before. One of the projects closest to my heart is my upcoming book, “The Stoic Marine.” I poured my journey into those pages during the hiatus. It's part memoir and part guide, weaving together lessons from my time in the Marine Corps, the ancient wisdom of Stoic philosophy, and the faith that ultimately anchors me. Writing The Stoic Marine was therapeutic—it helped me process my experiences and also turn them into something that could serve others. The book delves into what it means to be disciplined and resilient while still staying tenderhearted and God-centered. In a way, the process of writing was another layer of spiritual growth for me. It kept me grounded and gave me a tangible mission to work on each day, even when I wasn't in a place to speak publicly. I can't wait to share it with you all, because I believe so many men out there struggle with that same balance of toughness and vulnerability, and I want them to know they're not alone. Brotherhood and a New Men's Retreat: Building a Community of Uncrowned Kings Perhaps the greatest lesson I learned in my year off is that we're not meant to do life alone. Yes, personal faith is crucial, but so is community. I credit a huge part of my healing and growth to the brotherhood I have around me—godly men who checked in on me, prayed with me, and sometimes just sat with me in silence. It reminded me of why I started the Uncrowned community in the first place. We men might act tough, but inside we all crave connection and understanding. When we isolate ourselves, we deprive ourselves of one of God's most effective tools for growth: each other. Coming back into the public space, I feel a strong pull to foster that sense of brotherhood for others. That's why I'm beyond excited to announce that I'm planning a men's retreat. This retreat is going to be all about brotherhood, personal growth, and faith in action. Think of a long weekend where a group of us guys can get away from the noise—maybe out in nature somewhere—unplug, and really connect with God and with each other. We'll share stories, encourage each other, maybe even shed some tears and have some laughs around a bonfire. It's going to be a space where we can drop the “I'm fine” act and get real about the challenges we're facing, whether it's overcoming depression, finding purpose, or just trying to be a better man for our families. I'll be bringing some of the insights from The Stoic Marine to this retreat as well, blending those ideas of discipline and faith in our activities and discussions. My hope is that every guy who joins leaves feeling recharged, supported, and reminded that he's part of a brotherhood of uncrowned kings. We might not wear literal crowns, but each of us has a God-given greatness and purpose inside—we just need to help each other see it and live it out.

more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2025-09-10-22-34-02-da Story Transcript:Da: På kanten af den arktiske tundra, hvor vinden susede som en urolig ånd gennem de iskolde vidder, var der en usædvanlig stilhed over himlen.En: On the edge of the Arctic tundra, where the wind howled like a restless spirit through the icy expanses, there was an unusual silence over the sky.Da: Det var her, under det tunge lag af skyer, at Soren stod med sin kikkert.En: It was here, under the heavy layer of clouds, that Soren stood with his binoculars.Da: Han var normalt vant til at se nordlys danse over tundraen, men nu var der intet.En: He was usually accustomed to seeing the northern lights dance over the tundra, but now there was nothing.Da: Det var en bekymring, som trak dybe linjer i hans pande.En: It was a concern that etched deep lines in his forehead.Da: Astrid sad indendørs, omhyggeligt analyserende data ved et flimrende computerdrev.En: Astrid sat indoors, carefully analyzing data by a flickering computer drive.Da: Hun troede fast på tal og statistik, men selv hendes beregninger viste ingen årsag til nordlysenes forsvinden.En: She firmly believed in numbers and statistics, but even her calculations showed no reason for the northern lights' disappearance.Da: "Vi mangler klare data," sagde hun til Soren, mens hun justerede sine briller.En: "We lack clear data," she said to Soren, while adjusting her glasses.Da: Freja, derimod, kendte landet som sin egen lomme.En: Freja, on the other hand, knew the land like the back of her hand.Da: Hun havde dyb respekt for både det forklarlige og det uforklarlige.En: She had deep respect for both the explainable and the unexplainable.Da: Frygten for, hvad der skjulte sig bag det manglende nordlys, fascinerede hende.En: The fear of what was hidden behind the missing northern lights fascinated her.Da: "Der er noget ved jorden," sagde hun stille, "noget vi ikke kan se."En: "There is something in the ground," she said quietly, "something we cannot see."Da: Vejret blev kun værre.En: The weather only worsened.Da: Snebjergene rejste sig skarpe og truende, og vinden nåede i hylende kast ned over lejren.En: The snow-covered peaks rose sharp and threatening, and the wind howled in gusts down over the camp.Da: Astrid advarede mod at rejse ud i det barske vejr.En: Astrid warned against venturing out in the harsh weather.Da: "Det er for farligt, Soren," sagde hun, mens hun kiggede op fra sine grafer.En: "It's too dangerous, Soren," she said, looking up from her graphs.Da: Men Soren var fast besluttet.En: But Soren was determined.Da: Han vidste, at han måtte handle, og hans indre frygt for ikke at være op til opgaven gnavede i ham.En: He knew he had to take action, and his inner fear of not being up to the task gnawed at him.Da: Han samlede sit udstyr, og på trods af Astrids indvendinger tog han Freja med sig ud i tundraen.En: He gathered his equipment, and despite Astrid's objections, he took Freja with him out into the tundra.Da: Skyerne hang som et gråt tæppe over dem, da de bevægede sig længere ind i den frosne ødemark.En: The clouds hung like a gray blanket over them as they moved further into the frozen wilderness.Da: Frejas instinkter førte dem gennem det barske terræn til et sted, hvor jorden virkede mærkeligt varm.En: Freja's instincts led them through the harsh terrain to a place where the ground felt strangely warm.Da: Her opdagede de en kæde af bjergsprækker, nyligt åbnet, hvorfra varm damp steg op og forstyrrede atmosfæren.En: Here they discovered a chain of mountain fissures, newly opened, from which warm steam rose and disturbed the atmosphere.Da: "Soren, se det der," hviskede Freja, mens hun pegede.En: "Soren, look at that," whispered Freja, pointing.Da: "Det er ændringerne i jorden.En: "It's the changes in the ground.Da: Miljøet forandrer sig hurtigt."En: The environment is changing rapidly."Da: Soren indså pludselig, at det var disse skiftende jordplader og den varme damp, der afstødte nordlysene.En: Soren suddenly realized it was these shifting tectonic plates and the warm steam that repelled the northern lights.Da: Han tog notater, målte og forstod.En: He took notes, measured, and understood.Da: Aha-øjeblikket kom, da han indså, at en kombination af naturlige faktorer var på spil.En: The aha moment came when he realized that a combination of natural factors was at play.Da: Da de vendte tilbage til lejren, arbejdede Soren og Astrid sammen for at udvikle modeller, der kunne forudsige disse ændringer.En: When they returned to the camp, Soren and Astrid worked together to develop models that could predict these changes.Da: Med Frejas hjælpsomme vejledning i de naturlige rytmer begyndte de at skabe en plan, der harmoniserede med naturens kræfter.En:

Forrest and therapist Meg Josephson explore the fawn response, a survival strategy where safety is sought by pleasing other people. They discuss how fawning can start as self-protection in childhood, but later morph into overthinking, hypervigilance, and self-abandonment.

Topics include becoming aware of unconscious habits, building distress tolerance, grief, self-compassion, healthy boundaries, and speaking up for ourselves.

Standing in your kitchen at 8 PM, staring at unwashed dishes and feeling completely overwhelmed by the simplest decisions? You're experiencing what many women face after divorce which is decision paralysis. Even when you absolutely knew ending your marriage was right, the decision fatigue that comes after can leave you questioning your ability to choose anything from breakfast options to career moves. One of my clients said, "I feel like I used all of my decision-making energy just getting out of my marriage," and this summed up what I hear from so many divorcing women as a common struggle. After spending months or years gathering courage for that monumental life decision, even small choices now carry what feels like impossible weight. The challenge isn't just about making decisions. It's about making them as this new version of yourself you're still getting to know. For years, your decision-making muscles were trained to filter choices through questions like "What will keep the peace?" or "What might avoid conflict?" You learned to put everyone else's needs before your own. Now, you're suddenly expected to decide based on what YOU want except that muscle of knowing yourself, your wants, needs and desires has become weak because of years of ignoring it.  This episode walks you through four transformative steps to break free from post-divorce paralysis: grounding yourself, learning to process emotions, examining limiting beliefs that keep you stuck, and taking small aligned actions to rebuild self-trust. You'll discover that the courage and wisdom that got you through divorce haven't disappeared; you just need to reconnect with those qualities.To download your FREE GUIDE: "7-Day Self Trust Reset" click here.

After painful divorces, they built their bond slowly on “the three C's”: communication, commitment, and compromise—weathering health challenges, insecurities, and disagreements with grace. Their story shows how the right partner can help heal old wounds and create a deeper, more intentional love. As they say, “Life is about living, loving, and laughing.” Plus, remember to join our podcast community—like, share, subscribe, and let us know what topics you want us to cover next.

While baijiu is celebrated as China's national spirit and wine is steadily gaining popularity, yellow wine—known locally as Huangjiu—constitutes less than 2% of the country's total alcoholic beverage market. Nevertheless, it holds a distinctive place in Chinese drinking culture.With a history spanning over 2,500 years, Huangjiu is among the world's oldest alcoholic drinks, yet it remains relatively obscure outside of China. Today, Simon Zhou, founder of Ruby Red Fine Wine, is here to share the story of Huangjiu. Recognized as one of Forbes China's most admired figures in the food and beverage sector, Simon started with a two-person operation, which has since expanded to a team of over 160 by 2024. Ruby Red Wine Group now operates multiple offices both in China and internationally, representing more than 300 global brands, from fine wines to premium sake. Its clientele includes leading hospitality venues, specialty distributors, and passionate wine collectors.In 2022, Simon launched Vintry France, a négociant business in Beaune, France. The following year, he invested in a boutique winery in northeast China and co-founded a rice wine production base in Shaoxing. By 2024, he had also overseen the launch of Domaine 41, a modern wine retail venture in Shanghai. Beyond his business endeavors, Simon actively educates others about wine, engaging over 60,000 followers across various social media platforms. He is now focusing some of his efforts on Huangjiu, and in this episode, we'll explore this intriguing beverage that has graced imperial courts, complemented seasonal delicacies, and is now resonating with contemporary consumers.Connect with Simon Zhou at www.rubyred.com.cn Since 2016, Bottled in China brings you into the food and drink scene through conversations with the some of the most happening personalities.

Martin sits down with Joel Weiner to explore a journey that moves from childhood faith, through rejection, to rediscovery and renewal.Joel grew up in a Jewish home in Philadelphia, went through Hebrew school, and walked away from synagogue life right after his bar mitzvah. Years later, he found his way back, first through the Reform movement at Keneseth Israel, and later as a leader at Temple Judea, where Torah study and community reignited his spiritual curiosity.Along the way, Joel encountered Jewish Renewal, Hasidic inspiration, and the deeper wisdom behind Torah stories. Together, he and Jerry discuss what it means to be “chosen,” the role of Midrash, how different faiths can walk many roads to God, and why the New Axial Age invites us to see religion beyond walls and labels.From ecology and technology as gifts of God, to the sacred task of tikkun olam—repairing the world—Joel shares how spirituality becomes real in everyday life.

What if you've been reading the Bible in black and white… when it was meant to be in technicolor? David Mack, founder of BLAC Ministries (Biblical Learning and Application Community), joins Matt and Ron to share how discovering the Jewishness of Jesus transformed his walk and his teaching.  From a life-changing encounter with Arnold Fruchtenbaum to building global discipleship resources translated into Swahili, Urdu, and Spanish, David's journey is rooted in reclaiming the full biblical story. They explore why Torah still matters, how modern churches often sideline Israel, and why a Star of David baseball cap stirred everything from conversations to controversy.  With humility and passion, David calls the Church to return to its Jewish foundation - not just for theological accuracy, but for spiritual vitality. Key Takeaways The Bible in Full Color: The Jewish context of Scripture brings both Old and New Testaments into clearer focus. Torah for Today: While it doesn't save, Torah still guides life, ethics, and culture - even for Gentiles. Wearing Your Faith: David's Star of David hat sparked conversations - and backlash - across cultural and denominational lines. Discipling Globally: With online tools and multi-language teaching, BLAC Ministries equips believers around the world. The Church and the Jewish People: Many churches resist engaging with Jewish roots, but David persists with grace and truth.
