Podcasts about reflecting

The Christian landscape has shifted in significant ways since 2005, the year The Gospel Coalition was founded. In this panel discussion recorded at TGC25, Mark Vroegop, Nancy Guthrie, Collin Hansen, Juan Sanchez, and Ligon Duncan reminisce about the early days of TGC and reflect on all God has done in the past 20 years. They also talk about what they hope to see in the future as TGC seeks to help renew and unify the contemporary church in the ancient gospel. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

How to nurture the best in people with consistency and be remembered for what matters. This is going to be a different episode about a cake my nan used to make. But isn't just a story about cake. It's about the difference between control and nurture. My school thought resilience came from forcing kids to clear their plates (even if they ended up vomitting). They were wrong. My Nan knew that real strength comes from consistency. She made me the same pineapple upside-down cake every time I visited for a decade. Even when she went blind, she kept creating. She was an entrepreneur, an artist, and the village baker. She taught me that you don't build character by breaking someone's spirit. You build it by showing up. By paying attention. By finding the one thing they can stomach and giving it to them again and again. Nurture over control: You get more out of people by supporting their quirks than forcing compliance. Consistency is love: Showing up the same way for years builds more trust than grand gestures. Create despite limits: My Nan went blind and kept making things; focus on what you can do. Listen to learn how a simple cake became a masterclass in leadership and love. SPONSORS

Have you ever considered that the most profound growth happens in the stillness of life's winters? Katherine May's concept of "Wintering" challenges us to view these quiet times not as setbacks but as necessary periods for renewal and introspection. It's about recognizing that slowing down and stepping back can rejuvenate our spirits. By appreciating these quiet seasons, we allow space for personal growth and the reinforcement of our core values. Reflecting on these ideas made me realize how often I've resisted slowing down, seeing it as counterproductive. Yet, in embracing rest and retreat, we can find contentment in being enough, even amid apparent inertia. These quiet times are invitations to connect deeply, both with ourselves and with those around us, paving the way for transformative change and a renewed sense of purpose.

As runners, it's so easy to look back on a year and immediately zoom in on what didn't go as planned — the missed runs, the injuries, the goals we didn't hit. In this episode, we slow things down and invite you into a different kind of reflection — one rooted in curiosity, compassion, and growth rather than judgment.We guide you through a thoughtful process to reflect on your year in running, helping you notice both the visible wins and the quieter moments that shaped you along the way. Instead of asking, “Was this a good year or a bad year?” we explore more meaningful questions like: What supported you? What challenged you? What did your body and mind teach you?You'll be prompted with reflective questions designed to help you:Celebrate the wins you might be overlookingLearn from setbacks without attaching shame or frustrationRecognize patterns in your training, recovery, and mindsetUnderstand what truly helped you stay consistent (and what didn't)We also talk about the importance of separating who you are as a runner from any single race, pace, or performance — and how identity-based intentions can create more sustainable motivation and joy moving forward.This episode isn't about setting rigid goals or forcing a fresh start. It's about integration — taking the lessons from this year and carrying them forward in a way that feels supportive, intentional, and aligned with the runner you want to continue becoming.If you've ever felt stuck, disappointed, or unsure about how to move into a new season of running, this conversation will help you reflect with clarity, confidence, and self-trust.

If you sprint through your creative business all year, it's easy to end the year without a single moment to catch your breath. It's even easier to roll into January 1 with another checklist and no real clarity on what actually worked.

Whether you print it, use it in Canva, or save it to your iPad for digital notes, this report walks you through a complete business and content audit. It's part analytics, part reflection, part vision-casting, plus it will change the way you show up in your business next year. Let's break it down.

In this final episode of Season 8, you'll get a powerful, inspiring discussion on defending the nonprofit sector amid political intimidation and retrenchment, with a call to action for funders to act with courage rather than caution. The message is clear: a strong democracy depends on a strong, well-resourced nonprofit workforce, and philanthropy must choose to lead boldly in this moment. Host Rusty Stahl, Fund the People's President and CEO, speaks with Dr. Sherece West-Scantlebury, President and CEO of the Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation, as part of the Defend Nonprofits, Defend Democracy series. Reflecting on more than 30 years in philanthropy and her forthcoming retirement at the end of 2025, West-Scantlebury offers a candid assessment of what has — and hasn't — worked in the sector. She traces the evolution of the foundation's equity-centered mission, its focus on working families who are struggling in Arkansas, and how COVID reinforced the urgency of addressing low wages, systemic inequities, and the root causes of poverty.Throughout the conversation, she challenges philanthropy to confront the real costs of sustaining a healthy civil society and to move beyond outdated, restrictive funding models.Dr. West-Scantlebury also details the Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation's commitments to capacity building, nonprofit workforce pay and benefits, leader wellness, and innovative approaches such as enterprise capital. She argues that investing in people — through living wages, flexible funding, wellness stipends, and long-term balance-sheet investments — is essential to nonprofit sustainability and impact.The episode closes with a powerful discussion on defending the nonprofit sector amid political intimidation and retrenchment, with West-Scantlebury urging funders to act with courage rather than caution.

Fashion icon Bella Freud on abandoning psychics, learning to trust herself and realising that what happens next is entirely up to her. Freud is a designer and creative whose clothes have adorned the likes of Zadie Smith, Kate Moss, Little Simz and…well…me. She's also a cult podcaster with her hit show, Fashion Neurosis, where guests are invited to examine what clothes mean to them. She's lived a fascinating life: the daughter of Lucian Freud, the great-granddaughter of psychoanalyst Sigmund and the sister of novelist Esther who wrote the novel Hideous Kinky about their childhood. Now in her 60s, she joins me to explore why she's always late, why she regrets never joining the circus and what it's really like carrying the weight of such an instantly recognisable family name. Plus: why she no longer goes to psychics. Bella is so smart, considered and stylish. This free-ranging conversation will make you think, laugh and feel unexpectedly hopeful about getting older. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Introduction 04:04 The Power of Fashion and Design 06:47 Challenges in the Fashion Industry 11:52 The Significance of Punctuality 17:02 Childhood Memories and Their Impact 22:18 Therapy and Family Loss 26:13 Reflecting on a Peaceful Passing 27:43 Family Dynamics 30:04 The Circus Job That Never Was 32:33 Sibling Relationships and Childhood Roles 36:06 The Legacy of the Freud Name 41:23 Embracing Failures and Life Lessons 46:28 Living Authentically and Joyfully

In this moving and important episode, Paul Rieckhoff sits down with his old friend, acclaimed and courageous director Craig Renaud to discuss his HBO documentary, Armed Only with a Camera: The Life and Death of Brent Renaud, which honors his brother Brent, a brave and renowned journalist killed in Ukraine in 2022. Reflecting on two decades of shared history covering global conflicts, they explore the soaring cost of war and the increasingly dangerous environment for reporters. The conversation highlights a troubling shift toward restricted press access and state-led propaganda, emphasizing why "unflinching, human" truth-telling is more vital—and perilous—than ever for both troops and democracy. This conversation is as powerful as it gets. Craig shares raw, deeply personal reflections on making a film about his brother's murder, how the editing room became a place of grief and healing, and why he felt a duty to show the reality of Brent's death exactly the way Brent would have wanted: unflinching, human, and in service of others caught in the crossfire. It's a story that reveals the soaring cost of war, a brutally dangerous new era for reporters, and why truth-telling now takes more courage than ever. From the Arkansan National Guard in Iraq, to the war on drugs, to the war in Ukraine, Craig has seen it all. And documented it.  This is the kind of conversation that transcends politics and party. This is the kind of conversation that everyone should have to hear. This is the kind of conversation that reminds us of the price that is paid by the vigilant—and why we can never forget them and should always celebrate the best parts of them.

In this special episode of Reid Riffs, Reid and Aria are joined by Pulitzer Prize–winning author, oncologist, and Manas AI cofounder Siddhartha Mukherjee for a few questions about cancer, AI, and the second edition of The Emperor of All Maladies. Reflecting back on the 15 years since its initial publication, Reid, Aria and Sid discuss how cancer prevention, early detection, and immunotherapy have fundamentally shifted while the disease continues to be a defining challenge of modern medicine. The conversation charts how AI can become a true engine of drug discovery and how Manas was built to be an AI-native biopharmaceutical company focused on developing entirely new medicines. The episode then broadens out to tackle the current cultural moment in Silicon Valley, questioning whether the Valley is entering a new Renaissance driven by more meaningful work, clearer values, and a renewed theory of human progress. The episode closes by grappling with AI's growing persuasive power in politics and public discourse, and the responsibility to design systems that elevate truth, agency, and humanity rather than distort them.

2025 is quickly coming to a close and what an honor it was to sit down for an intimate conversation with Carl Broemel in his hometown of Nashville for the 300th episode of Roadcase!!  Carl is best known for his work in My Morning Jacket, and has released a series of notable solo projects over the past several decades. His upcoming album, Celestun, set for release on January 15, marks a continuation of his work with longtime collaborator Tyler Ramsey, formerly of Band of Horses.  In this landmark year, My Morning Jacket released both a new album, “IS,” and celebrated the 20th anniversary of the album “Z” in a year-long celebration of spectacular live performances.Carl talked to me about how he sees the current state of the band, and he discusses with me exactly how he goes about continuing to feel refreshed and energized in this ever-changing musical landscape. Carl shares with me many of his “life hacks,” as we discuss the importance of being in the moment, and the unstoppable force of incremental growth in pushing forward towards one's life goals, whatever they may be.=======================================Episode Chapters:00:00 Episode Intro with Host Josh Rosenberg04:05 Reflecting on a Year of Music and Growth06:59 The Spiritual Connection in Music09:59 The Creative Process Behind 'Is' and 'Z'12:49 The Live Performance Experience15:47 Navigating the Challenges of Touring18:49 The Influence of Family and Background21:54 The Journey of Self-Discovery in Music24:45 The Importance of Incremental Growth27:31 Finding Balance in a Chaotic World30:43 The Joy of Collaboration and Connection33:33 Exploring New Horizons in Music and Life54:25 Resonating with the Crowd58:09 The Power of Community and Incremental Growth59:21 Navigating Stardom and Popularity01:04:17 The Challenges of Modern Music Promotion01:04:30 Maintaining Humility in Success01:10:04 The Emotional Connection to Music01:13:08 The Journey of Finding Your Place in Music01:20:39 Exploring the Dynamics of Band Relationships01:22:38 The Solo Experience and Personal Growth01:25:21 Stripping Down to Basics in Music01:31:04 Reflections on Spirituality and Music01:18:33 The Solo Experience and Personal Growth01:21:16 Stripping Down to Basics in Music01:26:59 Reflections on Spirituality and Music01:38:34 Episode Outro with Host Josh Rosenberg=======================================For Carl Broemel and Tyler Ramsey tour dates, click hereWe discussed the book Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman: Click hereFor more information on Roadcase:https://linktr.ee/roadcasepod and https://www.roadcasepod.comOr contact Roadcase by email:  info@roadcasepod.comRoadcase theme music:  "Eugene (Instrumental)" by Waltzer

Time moves quietly, until you realize 2016 is somehow a decade behind you. We lean into that jolt and turn it into a practical tool to calm holiday anxiety: look back ten years, then name the next ten with intention. Along the way, we get honest about the economy's squeeze, the pressure to be merry, and how reflection can ground you when everything feels loud.We map a real decade—marriage, a home built on family land, a dream job gained and lost, a business born, and the grief that still wakes you at night. That full arc matters. It shows the strength you've built, the risks you took, and the love that held you together. With that clarity, we sketch 2036 in real terms. How old will you and your kids be? What will your days feel like? What single action can you take now—send the message, take the trip, start the scary thing—to bend time toward meaning rather than drift?We also reclaim the season with a simple family pact: create nightly moments that become memories—cookies, lights, photos, hand-written notes. These small rituals outlast stress and give kids wonder they'll carry forward. And we model another kind of courage: seeking peace through transparency. When rumors and accusations rage, choose a long, honest conversation over performative outrage. In public life or at your own table, clarity builds trust and softens the ground for healing.If you're feeling the weight of the holidays, grab a pen. Write your ten-year list, picture your next decade, and choose one action today. Then share this episode with someone who needs hope.

Rev. Zoë Garry is joined by Rev. Bill Davis to explore the wisdom of this season's podcast guests and their thought-provoking reflections on discernment in their varying contexts. 

Watch on YouTube → What does it cost to keep singing about hope when your heart is shattered, success feels hollow, and grief follows you onto the biggest stages in the world? Steven Curtis Chapman, the most awarded artist in Christian music history, five time Grammy winner, and the first contemporary Christian artist inducted into the Grand Ole Opry, joins Tim and Troy Green for a rare and unguarded conversation. This is not a highlight reel. It is the story of self doubt behind success, of nearly walking away from music, of adoption born from grace, and of worship sung in the shadow of unimaginable loss. Steven reflects on the fleeting highs of acclaim, the quiet weight of family and marriage, and how songs like “Cinderella” emerged from pain rather than polish. Together, they explore faith under pressure, hope forged through suffering, and why the most enduring music often comes from the darkest valleys. If you have ever questioned whether faith can survive profound loss, or whether calling and family can coexist under unbearable strain, this episode speaks directly to that place.

Born Patricia Louise Holte in 1944 in Southwest Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the woman we know as Patti LaBelle was raised in a large family as the second-youngest of five children. Her father worked on the railroad and performed in clubs, while her mother was a domestic worker. From a young age, Patti found solace and purpose in music — she joined her church choir at age 10 and by 12 was singing solo. Her early life wasn't easy. The marriage of her parents was troubled, and after her parents separated when she was 12, she experienced deep personal trauma. Yet despite hardship, she held onto music — both for comfort and as an outlet — listening to jazz, R&B and gospel as she grew up.In her mid-teens Patti began dreaming of making music beyond the church. By 1960, she formed a girl group called The Ordettes with friends at school. The next year members changed and the group evolved into Patti LaBelle and the Bluebelles — soon to become simply Labelle in the '70s. The Bluebelles enjoyed moderate success: in '62 they scored a Top-20 hit. Later, they found acclaim covering classics like “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” In the '70s Labelle's sound evolved. The group embraced funk, soul, and rock — culminating in the '74 smash hit Lady Marmalade. The song and its style cemented their place in music history.But amidst growing fame, internal tensions and changing musical landscapes led to the group's split in '77. That difficult moment became the launchpad for Patti's solo journey. Patti's debut solo album, simply titled Patti LaBelle, came out in '77. Her true breakthrough came mid-'80s. A string of hits turned Patti into a household name. 1986's album Winner in You — featuring the duet On My Own with Michael McDonald — topped U.S. charts and solidified her commercial success.In the '90s Patti continued to release albums. She earned a second and sold tens of millions of records worldwide.Patti's talents reach far beyond singing. Over the decades she's dabbled in acting and is also a successful author. Her 1996 memoir Don't Block the Blessings: Revelations of a Lifetime gives insight into her hardships, faith and perseverance. She later penned cookbooks, launched a food brand with frozen comfort foods, and her signature sweet-potato pies.Today Patti LaBelle shows no signs of slowing down. In 2024, she marked her 80th birthday by announcing a brand new album titled 8065 — a tribute to her 80 years alive and 65 years in show business. She's also hit the road with the “8065 Celebration Tour,” which will take her to audiences around the world — including stops planned for Australia and New Zealand early in 2026.At 81, Patti remains a powerhouse performer. Her message to fans? Age is just a number — and she's proof. Reflecting on her decades-long career, she recently said she feels blessed to still be “standing” — able to sing, walk, and create. Her fans, across generations, couldn't agree more.From “The Ordettes” to Stardom, this episode details the rise and rise of the legend we knowas Patti Labelle.Catch her on tour here:Jan 16 Rancho Mirage, CA, United StatesJan 17 Thunder Valley Casino Resort Lincoln, CA, Jan 20 Riverside Theatre Perth, AustraliaJan 22 Palais Theatre St Kilda, Jan 24 Adelaide Entertainment Centre Jan 25 Sydney Event Centre Jan 28 The Star Gold Coast Jan 30 The Civic Auckland, New ZealandFeb 12 Jacksonville, FL, Feb 13 Charlotte, NC, United StatesFeb 15 St Louis, MOFeb 19 New OrleansFeb 20 Houston, TXFeb 22 Fort Worth, TXMar 14 Westbury South, NY

This week, we're diving deep into what it means to stay faithful when life feels like it's on pause. In Acts 23–28, we follow Paul's journey through imprisonment, shipwreck, and delay—only to see God move in unexpected and powerful ways. If you're in a season where you feel stuck, forgotten, or like nothing is happening, this one is for you. We're talking about what it looks like to trust God's timing, keep showing up in the waiting, and believe that even the hidden seasons are holy. Plus, you'll hear about epidurals, hospital delays, and what the Bible has to do with reality TV. (Yes, really.)Let's lean in and remember that God is just as present in our waiting as He is in our breakthrough.

Watch on YouTube » Read this episode » During her visit to New York City, my (sweetheart!!!) niece Nylah asked if I could help with a school project on social media and influence. (She thinks I'm an actual influencer, haha.) We braved the winter weather and did an interview while walking towards the Museum of Natural History. I always tell people that if you want to explain what you do, try explaining it like you're talking to a kid. Well, this is my attempt! I could have explained it to her in way more complex terms and she would have understood me – she's a smart cookie. She asked me some pretty deep questions! But you get what I mean. Reflecting on our interview, I realized it's really important to have these kinds of conversations with kids. I share some life skills I think will be really important for Nylah, as well as recommended books, the reality behind what people see online, and the pitfalls and opportunities social media affords.

Sheryl Ramstad's story is nothing short of extraordinary. After surviving a catastrophic plane crash with less than a 1% chance of survival, Sheryl's life was forever changed. What began as her first solo flight at age 29 became a harrowing journey through life-threatening burns, multiple surgeries, overwhelming grief, and two years of excruciating rehabilitation. But this isn't just a survival story—it's a testament to the power of resilience, faith, and the unbreakable human spirit. In this powerful conversation, Sheryl shares how she transformed unimaginable trauma into a life of purpose, service, and adventure. From shifting her mindset from "Why me?" to "What's next?" to supporting burn survivors in Peru, going back to school at 62, raising three children, becoming a grandmother, and even climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro—Sheryl embodies what it means to live fully, bravely, and without regrets. With her first book "Living Life Full Throttle: Surviving, Serving, and Summiting" published in January 2025, Sheryl reflects on a decades-long journey of healing, reinvention, and choosing courage over fear. Her story will inspire you to embrace challenges, pursue new beginnings at any age, and live life full throttle.

On today's episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter catch up after what can only be described as one of Abbey's most chaotic nights out to date. What began as a wholesome wreath-making afternoon quickly spiralled into margaritas on empty stomachs, vomiting on the motorway, missed shopping trips and a Christmas wreath riding shotgun in a car full of regret.Peter shares festive family highlights from the Jingle Bell Ball, including kids desperate for screen time, a painfully awkward Ed Sheeran TikTok moment and Abbey discovering Peter modelling a velvet suit… in the women's section. There's diary drama, Christmas planning chaos, Boxing Day cinema arguments and Peter accidentally attending a maths open day instead of seeing the boys.In listener messages, we hear everything from wedding day disasters and unforgettable anniversaries to Elf on the Shelf horror stories that absolutely cross the line. There's dating dilemmas, reflections on getting older, turning 40, and why margaritas simply cannot be trusted.If you've got a Christmas confession, family faux pas or festive nightmare — you know where to send it.00:00 – Intro01:42 – Abbey's “wholesome” wreath-making day02:12 – The wreath day goes wildly off the rails02:44 – Margaritas on an empty stomach: a fatal error03:56 – Duck choking, spitting food, and hysterics04:37 – Alfie vomits on himself driving the M2505:16 – “Wolf of Wall Street” levels of drunkenness06:38 – Abbey can't remember getting home07:21 – Peter reacts to Abbey's wild night out08:18 – Kids stealing the spotlight at Jingle Bell Ball09:03 – Ed Sheeran TikTok embarrassment13:22 – Abbey's Christmas scheduling chaos16:24 – The explosive Avatar Boxing Day argument18:44 – Peter accidentally attends kids' maths open day23:22 – Reflecting on the year and turning 4028:31 – Peter spotted modelling in the women's section31:32 – Wedding disasters and football memories35:48 – “My stick” story37:34 – Elf on the Shelf horror story42:18 – Dating apps, being single at 42 & modern love50:29 – Six-hour coffee date ends brutally52:03 – Christmas stories call-out and wrap-upEmail: thetherapycrouch@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetherapycrouchpodcastTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thetherapycrouch Website: https://thetherapycrouch.com/ For more from Peterhttps://twitter.com/petercrouchFor more from Abbeyhttps://www.instagram.com/abbeyclancyOur clips channelhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZntcv96YhN8IvMAKsz4Dbg#TheTherapyCrouch #AbbeyAndPete #RelationshipAdvice #Podcast Hosted on Acast.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE:Have you ever looked at your life and realized some of the things that once felt impossible… actually happened? And yet, something inside you still feels like it's catching up? In this episode, we're unpacking the real reason behind that disconnect—and no, it's not because you didn't work hard enough. It's identity.If you've been trying to reinvent yourself, feeling the pull of an old identity, or sensing it's time for letting go of who I used to be—this conversation is for you. We're talking about identity detox as a sacred, quiet process—not a breakdown, not a crisis, but the inner shift that turns survival into sustainability.This episode is a heart-to-heart reflection on how identity—not hustle, not strategy—is often the switch that opens doors. Together, we'll explore why some dreams feel unsafe instead of exciting, why growth can feel heavy, and how recognizing who you already believe yourself to be changes everything. Grab your tea, pull your chair closer—this one's tender, powerful, and deeply freeing.KEY TAKEAWAYS:The version of you that survived was never wrong—she was necessary, and now she deserves rest.You don't need to become someone new; you need to release the identity built for emergencies, not expansion.When your nervous system only knows chaos, peace can feel unfamiliar—but unfamiliar doesn't mean incorrect.Grieving who you're outgrowing is not regression; it's honesty and self-respect.You don't rise to the level of your vision—you live at the level of your identity, and that shift changes what feels possible.CHAPTERS:00:00 Reflecting on Past Achievements00:34 Understanding Identity Shifts01:37 Embracing Transformation02:09 Podcast Introduction and Warm Welcome02:54 The Struggle with Identity in Survival Mode03:38 The Concept of Identity Detox06:04 The Main Character Energy Journal07:29 Navigating New Identities and Success08:55 Grieving Old Identities11:09 Self-Love and Identity Detox Steps13:15 The Power of Identity in Achieving Dreams16:42 Final Encouragement THE SELF-LOVE 2-STEP: The Identity Detox ResetThis week's Self-Love 2-Step is about grounding everything we talked about into real life—gently, honestly, and without pressure. Think of it as a check-in, not a to-do list.Step One: Name the identity you had to adopt to survive, and then name who you're allowed to be now. Write it down without judgment—this isn't about fixing yourself, it's about telling the truth.Step Two: Choose one small moment this week where you don't default to the old you. One pause, one boundary, one breath that reminds your body it's safe now.You don't need louder affirmations or bigger declarations. Identity shifts quietly—and the universe rearranges around the woman who moves differently without announcing it.

Everything we possess—wisdom, opportunity, influence, and understanding—comes from God. We can bring our hardest questions and deepest confusions to God, because He knows and understands everything. God gave Solomon wisdom and wealth and used it to reveal His character to the nations. He wants to do the same with us today. When we draw near to Him, adopt His ways, and let His wisdom shape our decisions, we reflect Him to the world. Let Him shine through you today.

Send us a Positive Review!In this episode of Latter Day Struggles, Valerie and guest Maxine Hanks dive into the complexities of reform and personal wellness within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.This fascinating conversation explores the first-hand experience of two women whose influential work spans a half-century in the LDS spotlight. With this time-span as a reference point, they discuss how the focus of institutional reprimand and control has shifted from scholars to mental health professionals, especially mental health workers who publicly address complex issues at the intersection of identity development, mental health, and its connection to LDS theology and practice. Further, they explore the phenomenon of "diffuse policing," where in some wards and stakes, fellow members, rather than just church leaders, report and judge one another, leading to a sense of danger and exclusion within spiritual communities. Ultimately, they call for continued efforts to embody love, create safe spaces, and support the health and healing of all members, at every stage of the faith journey. Books Referenced in this episode:"The Ghost of Eternal Polygamy" by Carol Lynn Pearson"Women and Authority: Re-Emerging Mormon Feminism" by Maxine HanksTimestamps:00:00 Introduction and Welcome00:49 Reflecting on Sacred Work01:49 Comparing Different Eras03:01 The Impact of the Internet06:02 Public vs. Private Scholarship09:09 Mental Health Workers Under Fire14:07 Balancing Individual and Institutional Needs18:38 The Role of Mental Health in Faith Journeys24:18 The New Taboo: Mental Health and LGBTQ Issues25:40 Identity and Wellbeing: A Personal Journey27:31 The Role of Mental Health Workers in the Church30:32 Institutional Insecurity and Individual Growth33:09 Policing and Persecution Within the Church37:35 The Erosion of Safe Spaces in the Church45:20 The Greatest Danger to the Church Today49:51 Concluding Thoughts: Embodying Love and CompassionAdditional Episodes Referenced:Ep. 179 - 182: Maxine Hanks Life StoryEp. 222, 272: Maxine Hanks and Jody England Hansen on the recent garment changesSupport the showSupport the show Listen, Share, Rate & Review EPISODES Friday Episodes Annual Access $89 Friday Episodes Monthly Access $10 Valerie's Support & Processing Groups Gift a Scholarship Download Free Resources Visit our Website
