I think we'd probably all agree that digital distraction is at an all time high. News from around the world is at our fingertips at a moment's notice. We get real-time updates on, well, everything. We can play any sort of game imaginable anywhere in the world and we can post our own thoughts and musings for anybody to see. Smartphones are truly an incredible innovation, but they come with a cost. Instead of engaging with the world right around us, we engage in a digital world filled with avatars and algorithms. Instead of looking up to God or out to the people directly in front of us, we look down into the screen of a metal rectangle. This past weekend at Saddleback, Pastor Darren Whitehead spoke on his book, The Digital Fast. Darren was kind enough to join this podcast to follow-up on his message. In this conversation we talk about how to fill the gaps in our time if not on our phones, spiritual practices and rhythms, reading the Bible, the difference between Australians and Americans, the calling of a generation to re-engage in the spiritual, and much more.Doable Discipleship is a Saddleback Church podcast produced and hosted by Jason Wieland. It premiered in 2017 and now offers more than 400 episodes. Episodes release every Tuesday on your favorite podcast app and on the Saddleback Church YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/saddleback).Resources Related to This Episode:https://www.thedigitalfast.com/Watch Darren at Saddleback: https://welcome.saddleback.com/watch/Subscribe to the Doable Discipleship podcast at Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/doable-discipleship/id1240966935) or Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/1Zc9nuwQZOLadbFCZCmZ1V)Related Doable Discipleship Episodes: Falling in Love with Jesus with J.D.

Send us a textEpisode TitleCrowned with Glory: Rediscovering Your Worth in the Majesty of God (Psalm 8)Episode SummaryDo you ever feel small, unseen, or unimportant?Psalm 8 speaks directly into those moments of insecurity. In this episode of Counseling Through the Psalms, James Long, Jr. explores how David takes us from awe at God's majesty to wonder at our worth. This psalm affirms that even though we are small in the grand scale of creation, we are not forgotten—we are crowned with glory and entrusted with purpose.Whether you're struggling with identity, battling shame, or trying to reclaim a sense of meaning in your life, Psalm 8 shows you where your true value is found: not in what you do, but in the One who made you.Key TakeawaysGod's majesty doesn't diminish your worth; it defines it.Even in your weakness, God displays His strength through you.Your dignity is not earned by performance, but given by grace.The image of God in you reflects your design, your calling, and your purpose.Jesus fulfills Psalm 8, restoring the broken image of God in us and renewing our calling to reflect His glory.Scripture FocusPsalm 8:1–9Genesis 1:26–28Hebrews 2:6–91 Corinthians 15:27Psalm 113:5–6Romans 8:19–21Reflect and RespondWhen have you felt insignificant or overlooked? How does Psalm 8 speak to that?What does it mean to you that God is mindful of you?How does being crowned with glory and honor reshape your view of yourself?Where do you see the image of God in someone you struggle to love?How can you reflect God's glory in your current season of life?What verse from Psalm 8 do you most need to meditate on this week?Resources and LinksJoin the Community: https://jameslongjr.org/signupnowFree Navigator Level: https://community.jameslongjr.orgSubscribe and FollowListen to Lessons for Life with James Long, Jr. on your preferred podcast platform:Apple Podcasts: https://jameslongjr.org/applepodcastSpotify: https://jameslongjr.org/spotifyAmazon Music: https://jameslongjr.org/amazonmusicGoogle Podcasts: https://jameslongjr.org/googlepodcastYouTube: https://jameslongjr.org/youtubeConnect and ShareInstagram: @drjameslongjr – https://jameslongjr.org/instagramFacebook: https://jameslongjr.org/facebookYouTube: https://jameslongjr.org/youtubeHashtag: #LessonsForLifePodcast ABOUT JAMES AND LESSONS FOR LIFEAre you longing to find answers to the deeper issues of life?

Exodus 31

In this episode, Jess and Karli dive into the deeply personal journey of doing the inner work and becoming the person you aspire to be. They share vulnerable moments—reading real journal entries from times they felt stuck or lost and open up about the identity shifts that shaped them. Jess talks about finding her sense of self outside of her relationship, while Karli reflects on life after being a student athlete. From letting go of the roles we cling to, to asking the hard questions and figuring out what actually brings us purpose and joy, this episode is a reminder that self-discovery isn't linear—but it's always worth it.

When was the last time your history book mentioned Julius Caesar's seizures or Hannibal's missing eye? The erasure of disability from our historical narratives isn't accidental—it reveals our modern discomfort with integrating disability into stories of power and achievement.Caroline Bristow, Director of the Cambridge School Classics Project, takes us on a fascinating journey through ancient Rome's complex relationship with disability. From gravestone inscriptions that proudly declare "Meropnus, aulis player with dwarfism" to special legal accommodations for disabled military veterans, we discover that ancient attitudes weren't as simplistic as we've been led to believe.The conversation explores how the Cambridge Latin Course—used by 93% of UK schools teaching Latin and countless institutions worldwide—is being thoughtfully revised to include accurate representations of disability throughout history. This isn't about tokenistic inclusion, but about acknowledging the full spectrum of human experience that has always existed.Particularly compelling is the discussion of classical art and monuments, where contrary to popular belief, diverse body types including elderly people, those with surgical scars, and various physical differences were indeed represented—though often filtered out by later scholars to support their idealized vision of classical perfection.Whether you're interested in classical history, inclusive education, or the way our modern biases shape our understanding of the past, this conversation offers illuminating insights into how we can build a more accurate and representative historical narrative. Subscribe to hear more episodes that challenge our assumptions and expand our understanding of the human experience throughout history.Support the showFollow axschat on social media.Bluesky:Antonio https://bsky.app/profile/akwyz.com Debra https://bsky.app/profile/debraruh.bsky.social Neil https://bsky.app/profile/neilmilliken.bsky.social axschat https://bsky.app/profile/axschat.bsky.social LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/antoniovieirasantos/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/axschat/Vimeohttps://vimeo.com/akwyzhttps://twitter.com/axschathttps://twitter.com/AkwyZhttps://twitter.com/neilmillikenhttps://twitter.com/debraruh

The Calling to Reorient the Self How can the sacred be recovered in a world fractured by autonomy and fragmentation? In this deeply personal episode of Kainos on The Lectern, recorded during a session hosted by Alexander Beiner on Kainos, John Vervaeke shares reflections from his recent pilgrimage across Europe—what he calls the Philosophical Silk Road. Weaving through sacred conversations and historic locations, he explores profound ideas like theosis, theoria, and voluntary necessity, inviting listeners into a lived philosophy of sacred participation. From Istanbul to Rome to Amsterdam, each location becomes a catalyst for insight and inner transformation. Vervaeke challenges the Enlightenment's idolization of autonomy and points toward a new possibility: a spirituality of finite transcendence, rooted in embodied knowing and dialogical belonging. This episode offers a raw and unfiltered account of mystical experience, intellectual shift, and spiritual disorientation—all in service of rediscovering what it means to be in contact with reality, in its fullest, most sacred form.

In this episode of the Trail Network Podcast, Hilary Yang and Katie Asmuth reconnect for a conversation about what comes after the finish line—specifically Hilary's recovery from the Hardrock 100 and Katie's win at the Tahoe Trail 50K. Hilary shares the mental and physical roller coaster of post-race recovery, from breathing freely again to jogging in Canada with a renewed sense of freedom. She and Katie reflect on the importance of giving space for rest, honoring the magnitude of what the body has just accomplished, and resisting the urge to jump to the next goal too quickly.Katie opens up about what it meant to feel her racing fire return at Tahoe after a long injury comeback. She describes the mental breakthrough of trusting her body again and feeling genuinely competitive, even after a frustrating mid-race navigation issue. With Leadville on the horizon, Katie dives into what excites her most: the opportunity to problem-solve at high altitude and test herself in a whole new way.The conversation widens to the broader themes of identity, resilience, and how trail running becomes a mirror for who we are and how we grow. They explore how transformation can happen through hard things—whether that's a hundred-mile race, an injury comeback, or simply getting out the door when life is pulling in a million directions. They honor the unique strength of trail running's varied bodies and stories, and answer listener questions about body image, race gear, and how to find your first 100-miler.This episode is both grounding and uplifting—reminding us that there's power in the process, beauty in the imperfection, and growth in simply showing up.This episode is edited and produced by the Sandyboy Productions Podcast Network.A special thank you to Osprey for supporting this episode.

Send us a textRemember when your imagination had no limits? When a cardboard box became a spaceship and a backyard was an unexplored jungle? As we grow up, that magical part of our brain often takes a backseat to our logical, organized prefrontal cortex—but what if reconnecting with play could make us better parents and happier people?In this fascinating conversation, we're joined by Jeff and Andy Crocker (known professionally as Mr. and Mischief), experts in immersive theater experiences who help adults rediscover their capacity for imagination. Through their award-winning interactive performances like the Apple Avenue Detective Agency, they create safe spaces for grown-ups to step back into childlike wonder without the pressure to "perform."The couple shares their philosophy that "just because something is pretend doesn't mean it's not important"—a powerful approach they apply to both their artistic work and parenting their eight-year-old daughter. We explore how traditional education often diminishes creativity, why boredom can be the birthplace of imagination, and practical ways parents can nurture creative thinking without controlling it.Beyond just fun and games, we discover how pretend play helps children process complex emotions and experiences, from everyday frustrations to profound loss. The Crockers reveal their innovative approach to parenting that balances honesty with wonder, allowing their daughter to choose which tooth fairy tradition their family would follow after studying mythology together.Whether you're seeking to strengthen your connection with your children or simply want to recapture some of the joy and creativity that adult responsibilities have pushed aside, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on why playing pretend matters at every age. Discover how embracing your imagination can transform not just how you parent, but how you experience the world around you.

Dr. Nancy Gonlin, professor of anthropology at Bellevue College, joins us to discuss her pioneering work in the Archaeology of the Night.

For years, the narrative has been the same: Christianity is dying in the West. Churches are empty. Faith is fading. Some even predicted that Christianity would be extinct in the UK by 2067. At the same time, people have looked at the younger generations—especially Gen Z—and dismissed them as spiritually disengaged, screen-addicted, and uninterested in anything deeper than memes and dopamine. But the latest data tells a very different story. Something's happening. Across the UK and the US, young people—especially young men—are showing up in churches, praying, exploring faith, reading the Bible, and defying the expectations everyone had for them. On today's episode, we're unpacking the quiet revival that no one saw coming—and why it just might reshape the future of the church.

Delight: Rediscovering Sabbath What does it mean to truly delight in the Sabbath? In this third message of our Sabbath series, we explore not only stopping and resting, but the invitation to delight, in God, in His creation, and in our identity as His people. Bro. Andrew Dymski unpacks Isaiah 58 and other Scriptures to expose the counterfeit delights that often distract us, and points us to the deeper joy and freedom found in weekly Sabbath rhythms. With practical encouragement and honest reflection, this sermon challenges us to step away from our screens, reorient our desires, and intentionally cultivate a Sabbath that restores. Key Topics: – Sabbath as a gift, not a guilt trip – Deceiving delights and digital distractions – Isaiah 58: the call to delight in the Lord – Cultivating weekly rhythms of worship, rest, and joy – A challenge especially for men to lead in this practice

In this episode, I dive deep into a topic that's rarely discussed but incredibly important: the art of pleasure at midlife. I'm joined by Laini Gray as we explore why many women have either disconnected from intentional pleasure or are caught in cycles of false pleasures that don't truly satisfy. We cover: The science behind pleasure – How our brain chemistry works and why pleasure matters for our health and longevity False pleasures vs. true pleasures – Understanding the difference between momentary escapes and genuine joy The unique challenges midlife women face – Why we struggle to prioritize pleasure and how societal messaging contributes Practical strategies – Simple ways to incorporate more meaningful pleasure into your daily life This conversation isn't just about indulgence—it's about reclaiming your right to joy and making pleasure a non-negotiable part of your wellness journey. If you've been feeling disconnected from what truly brings you happiness, this episode is your permission slip to prioritize pleasure again.

Who are you when the title is gone? In this raw and reflective episode of Through the Fire, we explore what it means to rediscover your identity in Christ after the role, the dream, or the achievement you clung to has been stripped away. I'm sharing the personal journey of losing the title “Firefighter,” and the deeper work God did to remind me that my worth isn't in what I do—but in who He says I am. If you've ever felt lost in the in-between, this one's for you. Let's uncover what was always true: you are still chosen, still called, and still His.     If you want to learn how to embrace the Dirt on your journey, come join me over on Substack at kawailani.substack.com

John talks with Mike Pedersen — founder of the DecideFast app, strategic advisor to growth-minded CEOs, author of Dominate Your Market, Atomic Actions, and Man Awakened, high-performance coach for men over 50, entrepreneur, marketer, and proud dad and grandpa.

And you need to repeat the action multiple times to create the habit.” “Everybody love the platitudes. They love the clichés. They spend all day long on social media, hitting the like button on all the clichés… and they do nothing about it.” “Why do people jump on the mindset-motivation bandwagon, but they have not done anything from an action standpoint to move their life forward? Well, people feel like it's progress to listen to information, to read information. The brain gets a quick dopamine hit and says, ‘I got some information, so I'm feeling pretty good.'” “Information without action is nothing. It's a wish. It's a dream.” “We're in an overconsumption world, and I think now with AI, people don't need more information. Everybody knows what they need to do. But the excuses kick in, and 98% of the population will never do anything with the information.” “The darkest of times bring out the real person. You either confront them and move forward, or you go the other way — and that can turn out very, very badly in life. Or you end up miserable the rest of your life.” “Wisdom doesn't come when everything's great and sailing perfectly. You don't learn when you do something right. You only have the opportunity to learn when you do something wrong. That's called failing.” “Failing is a good thing. We should be encouraging people to fail. Failing means they're trying new stuff.” “Not everything we do in life is a choice.” “If I'm successful, it's because of me. If I'm not successful, it's because of me.” USEFUL RESOURCES: https://mikepedersen.com/ https://decidefastapp.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikepedersen/ https://www.instagram.com/michaeltpedersen/ https://www.instagram.com/decidefastapp/ https://www.facebook.com/mikepedersen https://www.facebook.com/getdecidefast https://x.com/mikepedersen https://x.com/decidefastapp Man Awakened: Rediscovering Purpose and Vitality After 50 (https://a.co/d/aAHCtao) Atomic Actions: Experience Transformative Breakthroughs and Unstoppable Momentum (https://a.co/d/gYzOol4) Dominate Your Market: NO BS Impact Strategies to Explode Your Business Revenues, Have More Energy, and Get the Life You Really Want (https://a.co/d/j3wkZcG) CONNECT WITH JOHN Website - https://iamjohnhulen.com    Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnhulen    Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/johnhulen    X - https://x.com/johnhulen    LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhulen    YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLX_NchE8lisC4NL2GciIWA    EPISODE CREDITS Intro and Outro music provided by Jeff Scheetz - https://jeffscheetz.com/
