Pastors Ben and Tony continue their discussion on masculinity and go back to the basics.

This week, I had the absolute pleasure of speaking with Dakini Leah, founder of Living in Tantra and a true ray of sunshine from Grand Junction, Colorado (even if she admits she misses tea with clotted cream).We dove headfirst into the world of Tantra—what it is, what it isn't, and why it's definitely not just about long orgasms or bizarre religious rituals, thanks in no small part, to its association with Sting. Here's a sneak peek at what we covered:* Erectile Dysfunction: Or as I prefer to call them, “unreliable erections.” We explored how Tantra can help men embrace this stage of life without shame, and even turn it into an opportunity for deeper intimacy.* Soft Lingam Techniques: We got into the nitty-gritty of why even a non-erect penis is still an incredible source of pleasure - Leah calls it ‘the wand of light'.* Libido Changes in Women: We talked about how midlife doesn't mean the end of sensuality—in fact, it's just the beginning of a richer, more radiant connection with yourself and your partner.* Grieving the Old You: Both Leah and I opened up about the process of letting go of who we used to be and embracing the new, more self-assured versions of ourselves. We agreed it's not always easy, but it's so worth it.This episode is packed with practical tips, heartfelt moments, and lots of laughs (because let's face it, sex after 50 is full of surprises). Plus, Leah shares free tantric exercises you can try tonight - be sure and check out her website.Grab a cup of tea (or a glass of wine), settle in, and enjoy our chat!00:00 Introduction to Tantra and Personal Journeys02:48 The Essence of Tantra: Beyond Sexuality05:39 Tantra for Midlife: Embracing Change and Sensuality08:26 Unreliable Erections: A Tantric Perspective11:23 Navigating Libido Changes in Women14:24 The Importance of Self-Discovery in Relationships17:01 Exploring Joy and Connection in Relationships19:29 The Role of Tantra in Aging Gracefully22:19 Grieving and Embracing New Selves25:19 Conclusion: The Journey of Tantra and Self-Acceptance Get full access to Sex Advice for Seniors at www.sexadviceforseniors.com/subscribe

Exodus 20:8-11

There's a moment most of us don't talk about—the quiet, gritty middle of the spiritual path. The part where everything feels heavy, not magical. Where we wonder, “Am I really meant for this?” In today's episode, Courtney shares her raw experience of navigating these shadows: losing friendships, leaving the church, and questioning her path—yet always finding her way back to spirit's quiet power. If you've been feeling weary, unsure, or disconnected, this conversation is your gentle reminder: the waves may feel overwhelming, but the shore is always there. You're not losing the plot. You're just in the middle. Timestamps: [01:17] – The glamorization of spirituality vs. real-life struggles [03:07] – Leaving old identities, belief systems, and finding your true foundation [06:01] – Spirit's metaphor of muddy boots and walking forward [09:10] – Letting your mind rise above the heaviness [12:22] – Choosing what nourishes your soul and releasing what doesn't “Surely you trust yourself by now, friend. Surely you trust that all of the steps of your path have been divinely ordained to bring you to where you are now.”

One of the biggest pain points for first-time founders is a lack of structure within their business. One of the most popular frameworks for quickly creating structure is the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS), but does it really live up to the hype? In this episode of In Demand, Asia and Kim do a deep dive into EOS. They break down its key components, where it works (and where it doesn't), and why most founders should treat it more like a toolbox than a strict rulebook.

In this episode of Fishing Without Bait, host Jim Ellermeyer continues his deep and insightful conversation with Rubina Chadha — a mindfulness-based creative educator, breathwork guide, and trauma-informed life coach, and founder of Inner Design. Together, they explore the power of observation and mindful creativity as tools for healing and self-discovery. Rubina shares how art and mindful looking can help individuals slow down, break from judgment, and reconnect with their inner creativity—even in the most mundane parts of life. The discussion touches on the barriers that block creative flow, including depression and anxiety, and how creative practices can be both the first casualty of stress and a path to recovery. Rubina and Jim dive into what it means to live authentically and develop one's own “singleness of purpose.” Listeners are invited to consider how lived experience, not just knowledge, shapes wisdom—and how mindful living can be an invitation, not a sales pitch, to transformation.

The Trader Joe's Reserve Walla Walla Syrah 2023 represents everything worth celebrating about today's value wine landscape – exceptional quality from a prestigious growing region at a surprisingly accessible $10 price point.This blue-labeled bottle comes from Washington State's elite Walla Walla region, an area that wine connoisseurs know produces wines that rival Napa's finest. What makes this particularly interesting is the story behind Syrah itself – once the darling of critics in the early 2000s before falling into relative obscurity after the 2008 economic downturn. Despite its current status as what wine insiders call a "hidden wine," Syrah continues to deliver remarkable quality-to-price value for those in the know.The wine itself presents a fascinating duality: elegant, rounded fruit flavors upfront that transition to a slightly rustic edge in the mid-palate. This tension creates a complex sipping experience rarely found at this price point. Expect juicy notes of black cherry, tart cranberry, plum, and a distinctive cooling blueberry finish that appears after the spice elements have made their statement. It's crafted by DNA Cellars (Dennis Patton and Andrea Silverstein), who bring over 65 years of combined winemaking expertise and are responsible for some of Trader Joe's most successful wine collaborations.Looking for a perfect summer wine that offers both easy drinking and genuine complexity? Pick up this Washington State gem next time you're at Trader Joe's – and don't forget to look for that distinctive blue label. After you try it, visit CheapWineFinder.com to discover more exceptional values that prove great wine doesn't have to break the bank.Check us out at www.cheapwinefinder.comor email us at podcast@cheapwinefinder.com

Many struggle with the Bible not because it's irrelevant, but because we've never been given the full story. My guest today, Zach Windahl, went from confusion and disillusionment to falling in love with Scripture and now he's helping others do the same. In this conversation, we trace Zach's journey of rediscovery, unpack the sweeping narrative of the Bible, and explore how reclaiming the story of God roots us in a better way to live. We talk about why understanding context matters, how the Bible invites us into a kingdom worldview, and what it means to live under the reign of King Jesus in the everyday. Zach doesn't just teach the Bible, he's passionate about helping people actually see it, engage with it, and let it shape their lives. So join us as we lay at a roadmap to the beauty and power of the story of the Bible. Zach Windahl is an author and content creator focused on helping his audience grow in their faith. He is the founder and former CEO of The Brand Sunday, a company that creates tools and resources to hold your hand as you read through the Bible for yourself. Marrying his passion for entrepreneurship and making faith simple and attainable has landed Zach in a unique place in the Christian landscape, where he reaches hundreds of thousands of followers on social media every day. He wrote his latest book, “The Bible, Simplified” (coming July 1, 2025), to help others be less overwhelmed by the Bible and more confident in their faith.Zach's Book:The Bible, SimplifiedZach's Recommendations:Simply JesusSimply ChristianSurprised by HopeSubscribe to Our Substack: Shifting CultureConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@allnations.usGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

Welcome back to the Fearless Female Entrepreneur podcast! In this powerful episode, I'm getting vulnerable and sharing my personal journey with a topic that's been on my mind for weeks: losing yourself. I'll open up about a recent dating experience that left me feeling heartbroken and anxious, leading to a huge realization that I had put my own dreams on pause to accommodate someone else. I share how this pattern of losing myself isn't new—it happened in my past relationships, my non-profit career, and even in my business. You'll hear about the moment a complete stranger called me out, asking, "Are you giving to you? Are you refueling yourself?". It was a wake-up call I desperately needed. I dive into the "human doing" versus "human being" epidemic , where we tie our self-worth to outcomes and productivity, and how this impacts female entrepreneurs who are natural givers. If you're feeling resentful, exhausted, or have lost the joy for simple things, this episode is for you. Join me as I share my new tips for reconnecting with yourself, including why you need to date yourself , do things without a specific outcome , and prioritize living over producing. Remember, your business is a tool to create your ideal life, not your entire identity. Tune in to rediscover you, reclaim your identity, and reignite your beautiful soul. ___________________________________________________________________ Follow Katerina: Instagram: @Katerina.Kormas Website: www.katerinakormas.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ready to Design Your Perfect-for-You Lifestyle and Business?

Bence, fedezzünk fel valami újat!En: "Bence, let's discover something new!"Hu: - javasolta hirtelen Eszter.En: Eszter suddenly suggested.Hu: - Menjünk ki a tó környékére, keressünk olyan helyeket, ahol még nem jártunk!En: "Let's go out around the lake and find places we haven't been to yet!"Hu: Bence felkapta a fejét, majd apró mosollyal bólogatott.En: Bence perked up, then nodded with a small smile.Hu: - Rendben, Eszter.En: "Alright, Eszter.Hu: Jó ötlet.En: Good idea.Hu: Vigyük a fényképezőgépet!En: Let's take the camera!"Hu: Elindultak hát a tó partján húzódó ösvényeken.En: So, they set out on the paths winding along the lake shore.Hu: A fű zöldje élénken ragyogott a napfényben, és a méhek szorgosan dongtak a vadvirágok körül.En: The green grass shone brightly in the sunlight, and the bees buzzed diligently around the wildflowers.Hu: Eszter őszinte érdeklődéssel figyelte Bence lelkes kattintásait, ahogy a táj szépségeit próbálta megörökíteni.En: Eszter watched Bence's enthusiastic clicks with genuine interest as he tried to capture the beauty of the landscape.Hu: Ahogy egy kanyart vettek, belebotlottak egy alig látható ösvénybe.En: As they turned a corner, they stumbled upon a barely visible trail.Hu: Valami vonzó és titokzatos volt benne.En: There was something alluring and mysterious about it.Hu: - Nézd, Bence!En: "Look, Bence!"Hu: - kiáltott fel Eszter izgatottan.En: Eszter exclaimed excitedly.Hu: - Menjünk erre!En: "Let's go this way!"Hu: A testvérek kalandvágytól fűtve, beléptek a burjánzó növényzet közé.En: Fueled by a sense of adventure, the siblings stepped into the lush vegetation.Hu: Az ösvény elvezette őket egy rejtélyes, elhagyatott kilátóhoz.En: The path led them to a mysterious, abandoned lookout.Hu: Onnan fenséges látvány tárult eléjük a Balatonról, ahogy a nap lassan leszállt a horizonton.En: From there, a majestic view of Balaton unfolded before them as the sun slowly descended on the horizon.Hu: A tó vize narancs és rózsaszín színekben csillogott, gyönyörűen megvilágítva a tájat.En: The lake's water shimmered in orange and pink hues, beautifully illuminating the landscape.Hu: Bence előkapta a fényképezőgépet, és a pillanat szépségét kezdte el kapni.En: Bence whipped out the camera and began capturing the beauty of the moment.Hu: Eszter halk sóhajjal ült le a fűbe, nézte a testvérét és a körülöttük kibontakozó csodát.En: Eszter sat down in the grass with a quiet sigh, watching her brother and the unfolding wonder around them.Hu: A csend beszédes volt, tele újraéledő érzésekkel.En: The silence was eloquent, filled with revived emotions.Hu: A nap utolsó fénysugarai eltűntek a távolban, és Eszterben valami átalakult.En: The last rays of the sun vanished in the distance, and something changed within Eszter.Hu: Rájött, hogy nem kell sietnie a jövőjével kapcsolatban.En: She realized she didn't need to rush her future.Hu: Az igazi kincs a jelen pillanat és a megélt élmények, különösen azok, amiket Bencével megoszthat.En: The true treasure was the present moment and the experiences lived, especially those shared with Bence.Hu: - Köszönöm, Eszter - mondta Bence, miközben a gépét letette.En: "Thank you, Eszter," Bence said, putting down his camera.Hu: - Ez a nap csodás volt.En: "This day was wonderful."Hu: Eszter mosolygott.En: Eszter smiled.Hu: Tisztább volt a szíve és az elméje, mint valaha.En: Her heart and mind were clearer than ever.Hu: A két testvér kézen fogva sétált vissza a csillagok alatt a nagyszüleik háza felé, megújuló testvéri kötelékben és új lehetőségekkel.En: The two siblings walked hand in hand back under the stars toward their grandparents' house, in a renewed sibling bond and with new possibilities.

Send us a textWhat does it mean to discover the pearl of great price? And how is grace often misunderstood in our spiritually perilous times?Grace is divine inspiration to the heart. When we're knocked down by life's challenges or our own mistakes, grace lifts us up and redirects us toward truth embodied in Jesus Christ. In today's message, we explore how God's pursuit of us through grace works in our lives, often making us feel as though we've discovered Him when He has been pursuing us all along.Two powerful parables from Matthew 13 reveal how those who truly find God's kingdom respond – they don't simply add Jesus to their collection of treasures but recognize Him as the pearl of great price worth selling everything else for. This stands in stark contrast to those who pervert grace into permission for continued sinfulness, treating Jesus merely as a Savior who rescues without requiring lordship.The scene at Calvary provides perhaps the most vivid picture of genuine grace in action. Two criminals hung beside Jesus – one demanding salvation on his terms, the other humbly repenting and acknowledging Christ's authority. Only one heard those beautiful words: "Today you will be with me in paradise." As spiritual deception accelerates in our technological age, with AI creating increasingly convincing counterfeits of trusted voices, the need for biblical discernment grows ever more critical. Don't merely be a follower; be a disciple grounded in God's Word. The King is coming – will He find faith on the earth when He returns?Support the show

Hey everyone—We're diving into a topic that gets tossed around a lot but rarely unpacked in a way that actually matters: self-care. If you've ever felt confused or overwhelmed by what self-care really is (and isn't), this is for you. In this episode, we unpack the myths, call out the cultural noise, and get real about what it truly means to care for yourself, especially during midlife.We talk about the difference between real self-care and the performative kind, and how embodying your values, setting boundaries, and nurturing self-compassion can actually refill your tank. We're sharing personal practices, therapeutic insights, and a whole lot of laughter as we redefine what it means to be replenished. It's not spa days and wine nights (though, we won't judge if you enjoy those too!). Get ready to reframe self-care in a way that truly supports the life you're trying to build. Episode Highlights:[0:02] - Welcome back + intro to real self-care vs. cultural hype. [1:13] - Why “self-care” can feel like a loaded or empty word. [2:06] - Breaking down faux self-care and the influence of marketing. [4:28] - The truth about performing femininity and hustle culture. [7:45] - Defining escapism vs. true replenishment. [10:40] - Tuning into your inner needs and building self-awareness. [12:44] - Real self-care is simple: boundaries, balance, connection. [14:59] - The power of self-compassion and Kristen Neff's work. [18:41] - Our own self-care routines and mindsets. [24:17] - The role of creativity and play in replenishment. [29:22] - Why unstructured time is essential. [30:27] - Struggles with attention and learning to do one thing at a time. [31:06] - Rediscovering the joy and nourishment of reading. [32:24] - Final reflections + practical takeaways. Resources:Midlife Master Class Waitlist: insightsfromthecouch.orgKristen Neff's Self-Compassion Work: self-compassion.org Make sure to visit the “Resources” page on our website www.insightsfromthecouch.org to download the worksheet and take ways that accompany each episode.

In this episode of Draw Near, we reflect on the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ and invite you to rediscover the power, beauty, and reality of the Eucharist. More than a symbol, the Eucharist is the living presence of Jesus—true food for the soul, strength for the weary, and healing for the brokenhearted. Together, we explore: How to cultivate a deeper devotion to the Eucharist in your daily life What it means to live eucharistically—offering your life as a gift How the Eucharist has brought strength and healing in personal moments of struggle With heartfelt stories, Scripture, practical takeaways, and wisdom from the saints, this episode will leave you inspired to approach every Mass and every moment with renewed gratitude and reverence. Challenge for the Week: Choose one simple way to deepen your Eucharistic devotion—adoration, prayer after Communion, or offering your day intentionally to God—and share it with someone. Whether you're struggling to connect with the Eucharist or simply desire more, this episode offers encouragement and spiritual depth that will draw you closer to the Heart of Christ. *Mentioned in this episode: * Stay With Me - Prayer of St Padre Pio After Communion Stay with me, Lord, for it is necessary to have You present so that I do not forget You. You know how easily I abandon You. Stay with me, Lord, because I am weak and I need Your strength, that I may not fall so often. Stay with me, Lord, for You are my life, and without You, I am without fervor. Stay with me, Lord, for You are my light, and without You, I am in darkness. Stay with me, Lord, to show me Your will. Stay with me, Lord, so that I hear Your voice and follow You. Stay with me, Lord, for I desire to love You very much, and always be in Your company. Stay with me, Lord, if You wish me to be faithful to You. Stay with me, Lord, for as poor as my soul is, I want it to be a place of consolation for You, a nest of love. Stay with me, Jesus, for it is getting late and the day is coming to a close, and life passes; death, judgment, eternity approaches. It is necessary to renew my strength, so that I will not stop along the way and for that, I need You. It is getting late and death approaches, I fear the darkness, the temptations, the dryness, the cross, the sorrows. O how I need You, my Jesus, in this night of exile! Stay with me tonight, Jesus, in life with all it's dangers. I need You. Let me recognize You as Your disciples did at the breaking of the bread, so that the Eucharistic Communion be the Light which disperses the darkness, the force which sustains me, the unique joy of my heart. Stay with me, Lord, because at the hour of my death, I want to remain united to You, if not by communion, at least by grace and love. Stay with me, Jesus, I do not ask for divine consolation, because I do not merit it, but the gift of Your Presence, oh yes, I ask this of You! Stay with me, Lord, for it is You alone I look for, Your Love, Your Grace, Your Will, Your Heart, Your Spirit, because I love You and ask no other reward but to love You more and more. With a firm love, I will love You with all my heart while on earth and continue to love You perfectly during all eternity.
