Podcasts about Rejection

John Anderson speaks with Wes Huff and Dan Paterson about the striking cultural shift among younger generations towards a renewed search for meaning, transcendence, and moral grounding. They reflect on disillusionment with secular narratives and the renewed interest in Christianity as a source of lifelong direction and purpose. Huff and Paterson explore the impact of numerous online role models for young men, including Joe Rogan, Jordan Peterson and Andrew Tate. This is a conversation that questions whether modern society can sustain itself without a deeper moral and spiritual foundation. Wes Huff is the Vice President for Apologetics Canada and has participated in public dialogues, debates, and interfaith events on issues of belief and religion around the world. Huff holds a BA in sociology from York University, a Masters of Theological Studies from Tyndale University, and is currently doing a PhD in New Testament at the University of Toronto's Wycliffe College. Dan Paterson is the founder Questioning Christianity. He has experience as a pastor, lecturer, and public speaker, having studied Theology and Apologetics in Australia and at Oxford. Paterson speaks regularly to audiences across the belief spectrum on how the gospel connects to life's biggest questions, and on the popular objections to the Christian faith.

Harlan's practical advice and personal anecdotes provide a roadmap for parents and students alike, making this episode a must-listen for anyone preparing for the college experience.TakeawaysHarlan Cohen emphasizes the importance of meeting kids where they are in their unique experiences.Parents should focus on guiding their children rather than directing them.Understanding that struggles belong to the child while victories belong to the parent can help maintain a healthy dynamic.The first year of college is often filled with loneliness, and it's crucial to prepare students for this reality.Rejection is a natural part of life, and learning to cope with it is essential for personal growth.Students should approach new experiences with curiosity rather than a need to be accepted.Building relationships with professors can significantly impact a student's success.Parents should allow their children to experience natural consequences to foster independence.The college experience is not just about academics; social and emotional aspects are equally important.Every child's journey is different, and comparisons can be detrimental.Contact Harlan CohenInstagram: @harlancohenFacebook: @helpmeharlanTik Tok: @helpmeharlanPodcast: The Harlan Cohen Podcastwww.harlancohen.comBooks: The Naked Roommate: And 107 Other Issues You Might Run Into in CollegeWin or Learn: The Naked Truth About Turning Every Event into Your Ultimate SuccessThe Happiest Kid on CampusGetting Naked: Five Steps to Finding the Love of Your Life (While Fully Clothed ans Sober)Dad's Expecting Too: Expectant Fathers, Expectant Mothers, New Dads and New Moms Share Advice

If you've been dating for a while and you're starting to feel tired, discouraged, or quietly wondering why this seems so much harder than it should be, you're not imagining things. Modern dating can wear people down, the endless swiping, first dates that go nowhere, the emotional energy it takes just to stay open and hopeful. Many of the people I work with start to doubt themselves, not because anything is wrong with them, but because the process itself is exhausting. In this episode, I'm joined by Tim Molnar, a dating coach and former sociology professor, to talk about dating burnout recovery and how to approach dating with more clarity, intention, and emotional steadiness. Instead of pushing harder or checking out completely, we explore how to date more thoughtfully,  in ways that protect your mental health and help you stay connected to yourself along the way. We talk about why modern dating mental health struggles are so common, how swipe culture and endless choice can distort decision-making, and why so many good people end up feeling depleted rather than excited. Tim shares a research-backed, intentional dating strategy that helps you make better decisions sooner, reduce emotional drain, and focus your energy where it actually matters. If you've been trying to date without losing yourself — your values, your peace of mind, or your sense of hope — this episode offers a calmer, more grounded way forward. As you listen, you might reflect on this question: What would change if dating felt less like a test of your worth and more like a process you could approach with intention and self-trust? Episode Breakdown 00:00 Dating Burnout and Self-Doubt in Modern Dating 02:17 Tim's Journey to an Intentional Dating Strategy 07:24 Why Modern Dating Impacts Mental Health 12:52 The “Third Door” Approach to Dating Without Burning Out 16:05 Expanding Your Social World Without Losing Yourself 21:15 Why Dating Apps Create Burnout and Inertia 25:49 Real-World Connection, Rejection, and Emotional Risk 36:29 Making Better Dating Decisions Earlier 39:43 The 80/20 Approach to Dating Without Burnout 43:40 Chemistry vs. Compatibility in Healthy Relationships 46:22 What Research Says Predicts Long-Term Relationship Success 50:47 The Power of the Slow Burn in Dating If dating has started to feel heavy, confusing, or emotionally draining, and you'd like a thoughtful place to land as you sort through what you need next, I want you to know there's support available to you.

CardioNerds (Dr. Shazli Khan, Dr. Jenna Skowronski, and Dr. Shiva Patlolla) discuss the management of patients post‑heart transplantation with Dr. Shelley Hall from Baylor University Medical Center and Dr. MaryJane Farr from UTSW. In this comprehensive review, we cover the physiology of the transplanted heart, immunosuppression strategies, rejection surveillance, and long-term complications including cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) and malignancy. Audio editing for this episode was performed by CardioNerds intern Dr. Bhavya Shah. Enjoy this Circulation 2022 Paths to Discovery article to learn about the CardioNerds story, mission, and values.

Pearls The Denervated Heart: The donor heart is surgically severed from the autonomic nervous system, leading to a higher resting heart rate (90-110 bpm) due to loss of vagal tone. Because the heart relies on circulating catecholamines rather than neural input to increase heart rate, patients experience a delayed chronotropic response to exercise and stress. Importantly, because afferent pain fibers are severed, ischemia is often painless. Rejection Surveillance: Rejection is classified into Acute Cellular Rejection (ACR), which is T-cell mediated, and Antibody-Mediated Rejection (AMR), which is B-cell mediated. While endomyocardial biopsy remains the gold standard for diagnosis, non-invasive surveillance using gene-expression profiling (e.g., AlloMap) and donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) is increasingly utilized to reduce the burden of invasive procedures. The Infection Timeline: The risk of infection follows a predictable timeline based on the intensity of immunosuppression. The first month is dominated by nosocomial infections. Months one through six are the peak for opportunistic infections (Cytomegalovirus, Pneumocystis, Toxoplasmosis) requiring prophylaxis. After six months, patients are primarily at risk for community-acquired pathogens, though late viral reactivation can occur. Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy (CAV): Unlike native coronary artery disease, CAV presents as diffuse, concentric intimal thickening that affects the entire length of the vessel, including the microvasculature. Due to denervation, patients rarely present with angina; instead, CAV manifests as unexplained heart failure, fatigue, or sudden cardiac death. Malignancy Risk: Long-term immunosuppression significantly increases the risk of malignancy. Skin cancers (squamous and basal cell) are the most common, followed by Post-Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder (PTLD), which is often driven by Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) reactivation. Notes Notes: Notes drafted by Dr. Patlolla 1. What are the unique physiological features of the transplanted heart? The hallmark of the transplanted heart is denervation. Because the autonomic nerve fibers are severed during harvest, the heart loses parasympathetic or vagal tone, resulting in a resting tachycardia (typically 90-110 bpm). The heart also loses the ability to mount a reflex tachycardia; thus, the heart rate response to exercise or hypovolemia relies on circulating catecholamines, which results in a slower “warm-up” and “cool-down” period during exertion. 2. What are the pillars of maintenance immunosuppression regimen? The triple drug maintenance regimen typically consists of: Calcineurin Inhibitor (CNI): Tacrolimus is preferred over cyclosporine. Key side effects include nephrotoxicity, hypertension, tremor, hyperkalemia, and hypomagnesemia. Antimetabolite: Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) inhibits lymphocyte proliferation. Key side effects include leukopenia and GI distress. Corticosteroids: Prednisone is used for maintenance but is often weaned to low doses or discontinued after the first year to mitigate metabolic side effects (diabetes, osteoporosis, weight gain). 3. How is rejection classified and diagnosed? Rejection is the immune system’s response to the foreign graft and is categorized by the arm of the immune system involved: Acute Cellular Rejection (ACR): Mediated by T-lymphocytes infiltrating the myocardium. It is graded from 1R (mild) to 3R (severe) based on the extent of infiltration and myocyte damage. Antibody-Mediated Rejection (AMR): Mediated by B-cells producing donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) that attack the graft endothelium. It is diagnosed via histology (capillary swelling) and immunofluorescence (C4d staining). Diagnosis has historically relied on endomyocardial biopsy. However, non-invasive tools are gaining traction. Gene Expression Profiling (GEP) assesses the expression of genes associated with immune activation to rule out rejection in low-risk patients. Donor-Derived Cell-Free DNA (dd-cfDNA) measures the fraction of donor DNA in the recipient’s blood. Elevated levels suggest graft injury which can occur in both ACR and AMR. 4. What is the timeline of infectious risk and how does it guide prophylaxis? Infectious risk correlates with the net state of immunosuppression. < 1 Month (Nosocomial): Risks include surgical site infections, catheter-associated infections, and aspiration pneumonia. 1 – 6 Months (Opportunistic): This is the period of peak immunosuppression. Patients are at risk for PJP, CMV, Toxoplasma, and fungal infections. Prophylaxis typically includes Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole (for PJP/Toxo) and Valganciclovir (for CMV, dependent on donor/recipient serostatus). > 6 Months (Community-Acquired): As immunosuppression is weaned, the risk profile shifts toward community-acquired respiratory viruses (Influenza, RSV) and pneumonias. However, patients with recurrent rejection requiring boosted immunosuppression remain at risk for opportunistic pathogens. 5. How does Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy (CAV) differ from native CAD? CAV is the leading cause of late graft failure. Unlike the focal, eccentric plaques seen in native atherosclerosis, CAV is an immunologically driven process causing diffuse, concentric intimal hyperplasia. It affects both epicardial vessels and the microvasculature. Because of this diffuse nature, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is often technically difficult and provides only temporary palliation. The only definitive treatment for severe CAV is re-transplantation. Surveillance is critical and is typically performed via annual coronary angiography, often using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) to detect early intimal thickening before it is visible on the angiogram.

You are loved before you perform, before you obey, and before you understand. This Crosswalk Devotional centers on 1 John 4:19, unpacking the freeing truth that God’s love is not earned—it is initiated by Him. In a world shaped by rejection, comparison, and performance-based approval, Scripture reminds us that God’s love picks first, not last, and it becomes the foundation for genuine transformation. Rather than striving to earn affection through obedience or spiritual productivity, this devotional invites listeners to rest in the reality that God loved us while we were still sinners. His love is not the reward at the end of the Christian life—it is the starting point. From that secure place, growth, repentance, and obedience naturally flow. Highlights God’s love is the source of our love, not the result of it We are loved before belief, obedience, or understanding The gospel reverses performance-based love Growth flows from being loved, not striving for love Nothing can separate believers from God’s love in Christ God’s love moves first—even at our worst Obedience becomes a response, not a requirement for acceptance Do you want to listen ad-free?

Or did you have your friends leave you out of a fun activity? A sleepover? A party? Even as adults, we get left out, too. Rejection feels horrible. It really does. Even people who might have stepped out of your life can hurt you, and that sometimes feels like a rejection. Over the years, if we let rejection be the narrative by which we formulate our lives, we might not believe the truth we read in 1 John 4:19. “We love because he first loved us.” This kind of love picks first, not last. This love isn’t something we earn. There isn’t something inside our hearts that can earn it either. We are so used to being loved because of what we do. Even in our faith circles, we see language such as “grow, repentance, and sanctification.” All of these are good things, necessary things. But those things have nothing to do with us being loved. What is this kind of love? It is not like a love we have ever experienced before; it is much deeper. In this verse, chapter, and book of the Bible, we get a glimpse of this amazing love. God’s love is not the result of our love for Him; it is the source of it. Notice that the Apostle John uses the word “first.” This means a couple of things. It means we are loved before we believe, before we obey, before we understand, before we cry out to God. God loves first. Romans 5:8 says, “While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (ESV) There was no fixing ourselves or proving ourselves before God would love us. God loved us first, while we were still sinners. It also means God moved first. He did not wait for you and me to be spiritually or morally ready for his love. It existed before we had a chance to even change. God’s love came towards us when we were at our worst, not our best. Performance-based love focuses on doing better, and then you will be loved. A gospel-centered love says you are loved; therefore, you can change. Growth, repentance, and sanctification come after we experience God’s love! As a perfectionist, people-pleaser, I still find this amazing truth a source of great freedom. Although I had heard it all growing up at church, it never really sank in until later in my life. In my mid-thirties, I came to realize that my productivity, my goodness, and faithfulness never earned me one ounce of God’s love. In addition to that, my failings, faults, and sins could never lose me an ounce of His love either. While I grew up trying to earn the love of those around me, God loved me first. This means I’ll never have to earn more love, nor do I need to fear losing God’s love. Listen to what Paul says in Romans 8 about Christ’s love for us: “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written, “For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” - Romans 8:35-38 (ESV) You might feel crushed, persecuted, unloved, unwanted, and distressed, but none of these things will ever keep you from God’s love. In fact, knowing God’s love comes first means God’s love is not at the end of our spiritual journey, but the beginning. It has always been with us, as soon as we became Christians. It will carry us through until the end. You are not loved because you responded to God; you respond because He loved you first. So if you think back to a time when you were picked last, remember that today, you have been picked first. You have been chosen by God to be loved. Rest in this truth and believe you can walk in obedience because of this love! Intersecting Faith & Life: In what areas of your faith are you still trying to earn God’s affection rather than rest in the love He has already given? How might your daily walk with God change if you believed obedience flows from being loved, rather than working for love?

Sermon Series: Lost & Found Preacher: Josh White 2.1.26

In Matthew 9:1–17, Jesus exposes the Kosmos, the world system built by man and energized by Satan, and shows why it inevitably rejects Him. Even after proving His divine authority by forgiving sins and healing the paralytic, the religious leaders respond with accusation rather than worship. Grace threatens their control. When Jesus calls Matthew, a tax collector condemned by the religious elite, the system reacts with outrage instead of celebration. The Kosmos has no category for mercy, repentance, or redemption. It only knows exclusion and self-righteousness. Jesus then explains that He did not come to patch up Pharisaic Judaism or fit His teaching into a works-based religious mold. Using the imagery of garments and wine, He reveals that His mission cannot be mixed with man-made religion. The Torah is good, but the Pharisaical system had distorted it. He came to fulfill God's Law, not validate their traditions. This passage shows a timeless reality. The world system rejects Jesus because it cannot coexist with grace, and it will always reject those who follow Him as well. #Matthew9 #TheRejectionOfTheKosmos #JesusIsGod #GraceNotWorks #NewWineNewWineskins #Pharisaism #FulfillmentOfTorah #KingdomOfGod #BiblicalChristianity #GospelOfGrace #FollowJesus #FaithOverReligion

THIS EPISODE HAS SOME TECHNICAL SOUND ISSUE THAT WE TRIED OUR BEST TO FIX. It will be resolved next week. As always, we appreciate yall for listening.Ever wondered why some of us chase people who keep us at arm's length? We open with a candid story about dating inside a friend group and feeling invisible in public, then follow the thread back to childhood—where love felt conditional, criticism stung, and affection rarely landed. When your nervous system grows up on sharp edges, softness can feel like a trick. That's how mean partners seem familiar, and elusive partners seem valuable. But scarcity isn't a love language.We map the difference between mysterious and elusive: mystery has depth and patience; elusiveness is avoidance dressed up as allure. Breadcrumbing keeps you hungry and quiet—ask for clarity and the crumbs stop. That dynamic builds anxious attachment, inflates ego wars, and punishes vulnerability. One of us admits the hard truth: sometimes the pursuit is about entitlement and shaky self-worth. Rejection can collapse identity, so “winning” a reluctant partner feels like proof of worth. It's not. It's a loop.Along the way, we check in on fatherhood, career momentum, and a community gala that channels donations to students. A detour on car notes and predatory interest reveals the same lesson we apply to dating: stop glorifying the hard path. You don't earn value by suffering. Healthy relationships look different—reciprocal effort, emotional accessibility, consistent care. We talk ego ties versus soul ties, the courage to share your inner life, and how to build intimacy reps so connection becomes natural instead of threatening.If you're tired of hot-and-cold love, listen for the signs of breadcrumbing, the roots of attraction to “hard love,” and the habits that help you choose calm over chaos.

Episode Description:This was one of the most intense conversations James ever recorded.This archive conversation captures David Goggins at the moment Can't Hurt Me was launching — before the mythology around him fully formed. What makes this episode powerful is how grounded it is. He's not selling inspiration. He's explaining the mechanics of suffering, discipline, and self-reinvention in plain terms.Goggins describes growing up with abuse, learning disabilities, fear, and self-hatred — and how those became the raw material for rebuilding himself. He explains his concept of the “40% rule,” the mental governor that convinces people they're done long before they actually are. He also breaks down why failure isn't the end of anything — it's the beginning of knowledge.The conversation moves from ultramarathons and Navy SEAL training into everyday applications: work ethic, education, relationships, accountability, and the quiet habits that build resilience. It's not about extreme athletics. It's about developing a mindset that doesn't collapse when life gets hard.What You'll Learn:Why your brain tells you to quit at 40% — and how to push past that limitHow discomfort, not comfort, is the real training ground for mental strengthWhy failure is data, not defeatHow to build discipline through small daily “mini boot camps”Why accountability starts with brutal honesty about yourselfTimestamped Chapters:[00:00] Haters, criticism, and emotional control[04:00] Introducing David Goggins + the pull-up record shock[08:00] Life as a race: getting to the start line[11:30] Callousing the mind through discomfort[14:00] Living outside the comfort box[16:00] Learning disability and obsessive study discipline[20:00] Public speaking, stuttering, and fear exposure[23:30] Failure as the beginning of growth[27:00] Society's fear of discomfort[30:00] Radical accountability[32:00] Meaning, suffering, and visualization[35:00] The first 100-mile race: confronting death[39:00] Rejection as fuel[41:30] What happens after achievement[44:00] Writing the book and vulnerability[46:00] Discipline audit: where your hours go[48:00] Abuse, forgiveness, and breaking cycles[52:00] Cutting toxic relationships[55:00] The 40% rule explained[58:00] Reflection as survival[01:00:00] Building a personal mental boot camp[01:05:00] Comfort vs. growth: why people stay stuck[01:10:00] Identity, self-image, and reinvention[01:15:00] Discipline as daily practice[01:20:00] Aging, purpose, and long-term mindset[01:25:00] Applying Goggins' philosophy to normal life[01:30:00] Training for life, not races[01:35:00] Legacy and impact[01:40:00] Closing reflections + audiobook discussionAdditional Resources:Can't Hurt Me – David GogginsDavid Goggins Official WebsiteSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Connecting with teenage daughters can feel like trying to break through a locked door—especially when rejection, distance, and silence start to replace the closeness you once had. In this Q&A episode, I'm joined by Uncle Joe as we tackle two deeply relatable questions from dads who are doing their best but feel stuck, unsure, and disconnected.   We dive into what it really takes to win a teenage daughter's heart without forcing connection, why consistency matters more than instant results, and how dads can stop taking rejection personally while still staying emotionally available. We also address marriage and money decisions, showing how curiosity, values, and asking better questions can transform conflict into teamwork. This episode is packed with wisdom, reassurance, and practical strategies for dads who refuse to give up on their kids or their marriage.     Timeline Summary [0:00] Welcoming listeners to the final Q&A episode of January 2026 [2:37] A dad's question about connecting with his 14-year-old daughter [4:10] Why teenage girls often pull away during adolescence [4:33] Recommended reading: Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters [5:12] Learning what matters to your daughter to win her heart [6:35] Why genuine interest builds emotional safety [7:16] Consistency over comfort when facing rejection [8:08] Not internalizing rejection from teenage daughters [8:57] How facial expressions communicate disappointment [9:15] "Aim for the heart" and understanding a child's unique wiring [10:19] Engaging with your daughter's interests without trying to be "cool" [11:21] Alliance member perspective on grit and perseverance [12:37] Why daughters notice effort even when they don't respond [13:03] Dr. Lisa Damour's insights on never giving up [14:08] Why your daughter will remember whether you stayed or quit [15:11] Second question: marriage, money, and trust [16:34] How "telling" shuts down conversations with your wife [17:08] Leading with curiosity instead of control [18:10] Asking questions that invite reflection and teamwork [19:36] Validating your wife's values before problem-solving [21:11] Enabling vs. empowering family members [23:23] Using shared family values as a decision-making framework [26:18] Why aligned values reduce conflict in marriage [29:18] Faith, provision, and living out core values [30:57] Resources for dads raising teenagers [31:16] Where to find all episode links and next steps     Five Key Takeaways Winning a teenage daughter's heart requires consistency, not instant validation.  Rejection isn't personal—it's developmental, and dads must stay steady through it.  Genuine curiosity builds connection far more than control or correction.  Asking better questions reduces marriage conflict, especially around money and family decisions.  Shared values create clarity, alignment, and peace in family decision-making.      Links & Resources Guiding Teenage Girls Into Adulthood (Dad Edge Episode): https://thedadedge.com/guiding-teenage-girls-into-adulthood-with-dr-lisa-damour/ Dr. Lisa Damour Website: https://drlisadamour.com/ Dr. Lisa Damour on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lisa.damour/ Dr. Lisa Damour on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSt8mu1taNYAHTufbYwqglFHoevbZgNQl Dr. Lisa Damour on Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/Ldamour Dr. Lisa Damour on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lisadamourphd Dr. Lisa Damour Podcast: https://drlisadamour.com/resources/podcast/ How to Manage a Meltdown (PDF): https://drlisadamour.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/LD_Bookmarks_How_to_Manage_a_Meltdown.pdf Meg Meeker on The Dad Edge Podcast: https://thedadedge.com/meg-meeker/ Episode Show Notes & Resources: https://thedadedge.com/1432   Closing Remark If this episode encouraged you to stay the course with your kids or approach your marriage with more curiosity and patience, please rate, review, follow, and share the podcast.

This week, we're framing the executive job search through a sales lens. I sat down with my friend and sales trainer Carlos M. Garcia to unpack why most executives stall. It's not because of the market, but because they refuse to see the job search as a sales process. Sales isn't persuasion. It's decision friction removal. The same skill that closes deals is the skill that earns trust, momentum, and offers in a career transition. Executives who avoid this reality stay stuck. Key Takeaways (Read These First) • The job search mirrors a sales pipeline. Hope is not a strategy. • Sales fails when friction is high. Job searches fail for the same reason. • Corporate language kills clarity and trust. • Relatability beats credentials in high-stakes conversations. • Rejection is feedback, not identity damage.

The Theology of Avoidance. How “waiting on God” functions as a socially acceptable way to avoid learning how to choose, risk rejection, and tolerate aloneness. 

The world has tried to humble Kim, but she can't seem to bend the knee.In this episode, Kim defines confidence as believing the sh*t that comes out of your mouth by proving to yourself you're not full of it, closing the gap between who you say you are and who you actually are. Labeled “too confident” and “so full of herself,” she makes the case that every woman should be exactly that: full of her goals, dreams, and the life she's building. From being raised by a “don't let them see you sweat” mom to always feeling like an outsider, Kim breaks down how she builds and rebuilds confidence and why outliers, not insiders, are the ones who end up on top.Her biggest takeaway?

A friend said something to me a few months ago (while I was complaining) that stopped me in my tracks: “Everyone wants a village — but nobody wants to be a villager.”And once I heard it, I couldn't un-know it. So many of us (AKA, me!) say we want deeper friendships, stronger community, people who show up for us… yet we're participating in a culture that prioritizes convenience, hyper-independence, comfort, and productivity over closeness. We've optimized ourselves out of connection. We interact with services, not people. We protect our peace so hard, we don't even consider the needs of others. We complain about loneliness and how hard it is to make friends as adults, but most people opt out of the effort and inconvenience that comes with community and togetherness.So today, we're unpacking the loneliness epidemic, the friendship recession, and what modern society is getting wrong about community-building. Most importantly, we cover how to actually be a villager, even when you're busy, burnt out, uncomfortable, or socially awkward.We weren't meant to do life alone. And the village you're looking for might start with you.If you've been craving deeper friendships, more support and belonging, and being a part of something bigger than yourself, this episode is your reminder that community is built through effort, presence, generosity, and a willingness to be inconvenienced for the sake of care and connection.Tune in to hear:What it really means to “be a villager” (and why closeness comes at a cost)The role convenience culture plays in loneliness and isolationThe mental and physical health benefits of strong social tiesWhy self-care is overrated, because healing isn't a solo sportHow to start building your village through consistent micro-connectionsReciprocity, generosity, and why community is about equity, not equalitySaying yes more, and becoming a supportive attendeeHow to avoid social burnout and people-pleasingHow to show up as a village leader (the art of hosting and building what doesn't exist)Taking social risks and dealing with rejectionLetting yourself show up imperfectly — messy house, bad mood, and all Sign up for our monthly adulting newsletter:teachmehowtoadult.ca/newsletter Follow us on the ‘gram:@teachmehowtoadultmedia@gillian.bernerFollow on TikTok: @teachmehowtoadultSubscribe on YouTube

(Episode #318) In this client session, we explore the desire for spiritual devotion, community, and a sense of home, alongside the pressure to choose one clear path or identity. We look at how “desperation energy” is really just deep longing, why being multi-passionate isn't a flaw, and how self-scrutiny can keep you from fully accepting who you are becoming.Join us as we talk about devotion to self, the fear of being seen as “too scattered,” and the freedom that comes from allowing yourself to be nuanced, expansive, and evolving. This session offers gentle clarity, reassurance, and permission to trust where your path is already unfolding.Episode Highlights: 00:00 What Am I Dedicated to Love?15:03 Balancing Independence and Community20:41 Embracing Multifaceted Selfhood34:35 Overcoming Fear and Self-Judgment40:17 The Importance of Rejection in Being Known52:11 Embracing Multifaceted IdentitiesTake my FREE quiz!

If you look at the world and wonder what has gone wrong, Romans 1:18-32 gives us the answer. Though God revealed Himself to us, humanity rejected Him, and the result has been a slide into deeper and deeper darkness. Later in Romans, Paul describes the progression out of foolishness for those who are now in Christ: “I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” (Romans 12:1-2) Take-Home Message: Christ's wisdom is the only antidote to my foolishness. We Became Fools Through…- Futile Thinking (18-22)- Humanity's Progression Toward Futile Thinking- Revelation (19-20)- Rejection (21a)- Result (21b-22)- A biblical definition of “futile” (Mataioó)– describes the movement from God-given awareness to empty, self-centered thought. In Romans 1:21, it stands as a decisive verdict on humanity's intellectual and moral collapse: “they became futile in their thinking”. The term captures the tragic exchange of God's glory for worthless speculation, exposing the hollowness that results when truth is suppressed. - False Worship (23) - Foolish Living (24-32)- A biblical definition of “give approval” (Suneudokeó) –  To give hearty approval, identify with, feel gratified with. Across its six occurrences, syneudokeō portrays a shared stance—whether righteous or sinful—between individuals or groups. It always implies more than passive agreement; it conveys an active, moral participation that forges communal solidarity around a deed or decision. In Romans 1:32, syneudokeō indicts societies that institutionalize sin by celebrating its practitioners.The term issues a dual summons: resist aligning with evil and intentionally align with righteousness. Christian maturity therefore includes vigilant evaluation of all associations, ensuring that consent is given only to what honors the Lord. Christ Makes Us Wise Through…- Renewed Thinking (Romans 12:2a)- Reasonable Worship (Romans 12:1)- Righteous Living (Romans 12:2b)

Southside Tribe! This week we discuss how rejection and hardship are some of life's great teachers—but only if we learn from them instead of avoiding them. In this episode, we explore how rejection shapes us for better or worse, how wounded ego can turn into vengeance, and why so much of modern masculinity is built on perception and intimidation rather than wholeness or healing. From dating culture and influencer wealth to Scripture's warning about the uncertainty of riches, this conversation challenges where we place our hope. Ultimately, it's a call to trade image for integrity, give up shortcuts for real formation, and false security for the lasting riches found in humility, discipleship, and trusting Christ.

What happens when autistic and neurodivergent adults lose built-in social supports but still need connection? In this episode, Stacy talks with Jamie Pastranao and Brittany Moser, co-founders of the app synchrony, about loneliness, rejection sensitivity, and why community, not dating, is the missing piece for neurodivergent adults. Inspired by Love on the Spectrum, they explore how repeated rejection reshapes confidence, what research shows about neurodivergent connection, and whether technology can help rebuild trust and belonging.

This is a Q&A session from the Soul Searchers Retreat. Acharya das delivers a comprehensive discussion on spiritual life versus material life, emphasizing the fundamental distinction between material consciousness (identifying with the physical body) and spiritual consciousness (recognizing oneself as an eternal spiritual being). He explains that material life is founded on the belief that "I am material," while spirituality recognizes "I'm an eternal spiritual being." A wide range of topics were addressed (as you can see from the chapters listed below) including the concept of karma yoga which was introduced as a process of integrating life activities with spiritual practice by offering all actions as service to a higher spiritual reality. **************************************CHAPTERS‎ 00:00 Distinguishing Material and Spiritual Life02:39 The Concept of Karma Yoga 04:09 The Bhagavad Gita: Arjuna's Dilemma‎05:42 Arjuna's Breakdown and Krishna's Response08:24 Krishna's Teaching on Duty and Nature09:46 The Radical Teaching of Spiritual Action11:23 The Lesson of Utilizing Our Tools12:42 The Fundamental Shift in Consciousness14:06 Two Schools of Thought: Traditional vs. Advaita15:43 Critique of the "I Am God" Philosophy17:05 Qualitative Oneness vs. Quantitative Difference18:31 The Complete Whole Principle21:40 The Appeal of False God-Realization22:58 Three Aspects of Self-Realization23:56 The Inevitable Fall from Impersonal Realization25:37 Three Features of the Absolute Truth27:30 The Nature of Transcendental Connection29:40 Comparing Levels of Transcendental Happiness31:27 Rejection of Blind Faith32:42 The Problem of Consciousness Filters33:26 Indescribable Spiritual Delights‎34:52 The Importance of Questioning35:46 Proper vs. Improper Questioning37:07 The Problem of False Self-Importance39:32 Three Authorities in Vedic System41:00 Internal Spiritual Guidance‎43:17 Alignment of Spiritual Authorities45:13 Universal Accessibility of Spiritual Realization46:19 Divine Assistance for Sincere Seekers48:05 Recognition of Spiritual Truth49:30 Encouragement and Final Thoughts50:35 Kirtan Meditation**************************************

1. Claimed Greenland/Arctic Framework Deal President Trump announced a framework for a future agreement involving Greenland and the broader Arctic region, reached through discussions with NATO leadership and U.S. allies. This is not a military action or invasion, but a diplomatic and security-oriented arrangement still under development. The deal is framed as long‑term (“forever”), contrasting it with past time‑limited international agreements. 2. Focus on Arctic Security and Strategic Competition The core justification presented is national and allied security, particularly limiting Russian and Chinese influence in the Arctic. China’s has a stated interest in Arctic dominance and the deal is preemptive containment. Greenland is described as strategically important due to geography, security positioning, and mineral resources. 3. Denial of Military Intent A central theme is the explicit rejection of military force as a means of acquiring Greenland. Claims of potential invasion were misinformation spread by media and political opponents. Trump is quoted as saying military action would not be necessary. 4. Use of Economic Leverage (Tariffs) Trump used tariff threats against European allies as negotiating leverage. The subsequent removal of tariff threats is evidence that diplomacy succeeded. This approach is intentional pressure rather than economic aggression. 5. Rejection of Media and Democratic Narratives Predicting war or invasion Mischaracterizing Trump’s intentions Ignoring diplomatic outcomes 6. Introduction of a “Board of Peace” Concept Separate from Greenland, the document introduces Trump’s idea to create a “Board of Peace”. This proposed body is an alternative or supplement to the United Nations, which is ineffective. 7. Critique of the United Nations The UN has had historical failures in: Rwanda Syria China’s treatment of Uyghurs Iran’s protest crackdowns Myanmar Sudan Veto power and authoritarian influence render the UN ineffective.

The sermon presents a profound exploration of Zechariah 9–11, centering on the rejection of the Messiah and the divine consequences that follow, while pointing to ultimate restoration. It unfolds through a dual lens of historical fulfillment and prophetic anticipation, contrasting the humble entry of Jesus—fulfilling Zechariah's prophecy of a king riding a donkey—with the violent conquests of figures like Alexander the Great, highlighting Jesus as the true, peaceful King. The passage reveals how Israel's unbelief led to divine judgment, symbolized by the dismissal of false shepherds and the tragic betrayal of Jesus for thirty pieces of silver, which were cast into the potter's field—a prophecy fulfilled in Judas' remorse and the purchase of Akeldama. Yet even in this lamentation, the sermon underscores God's enduring faithfulness, as the rejection of the Messiah is not the end, but a necessary prelude to future restoration, with the remnant of Israel being gathered, healed, and ultimately reigning with Christ, as seen in the coming triumph of the King of kings and the final deliverance of God's people from the valley of darkness into the glory of His eternal kingdom.

You know what they say, fall down seven times, pursue a class action lawsuit against the establishment. Just kidding but not really (see sources linked below) this week we're learning about the neuroscience, psychology, and *personal* philosophy of rejection to manufacture some good ol' fashion luck.

Applying to CRNA school can feel overwhelming—stats, GPAs, ICU experience, GRE scores, interviews, and endless comparisons to peers and strangers alike. It's easy to talk yourself out of applying (or reapplying) so today we're going to back the curtain on the application process and share our real, unfiltered journeys to CRNA school. Here's some of what we discuss in this episode:

This teaching was originally shared informally during a prayer call and later impressed upon us to preserve for this podcast. It speaks to dysfunctional family dynamics, sudden rejection, manipulation, and the journey of overcoming adversity with humility and perseverance. At its core is a story of redemption—revealing how Christ can transform lives through hardship and pain. May this message encourage you and remind you that God shapes character in the midst of trials. We pray you are blessed as you listen.

In this episode of the Voxology Podcast, hosts Mike Erre and Tim Stafford engage in a thought-provoking discussion about the current state of society, the role of the church, and the concept of the Kingdom of God. They reflect on the challenges faced in today's world, including political turmoil and social injustice, while emphasizing the importance of mental health and community support. The conversation transitions into a deeper exploration of the Lord's Prayer, particularly the phrase 'may your kingdom come,' and how it relates to the historical and theological understanding of God's reign. The hosts argue that the Kingdom of God is not merely a spiritual concept but a tangible reality that encompasses justice, community, and the restoration of Israel's promises.

The New Right's Radical Rejection of Traditional Republicanism. Guest: PETER BERKOWITZ, Hoover Institution Senior Fellow. Berkowitz contrasts the New Right's desire for state-led social reform with the Republican Party's traditional focus on liberty and limited government. He discusses Michael Anton's views on the "right of revolution" and warns that attacking classical liberalism risks eroding essential protections against bigotry and persecution in America.1929 HOOVER PARADE

This episode moves from a lighthearted family practice of setting “New Year's disciplines” into a serious, practical conversation on Josef Pieper's The Concept of Sin. Adam and David argue that modern culture often avoids the word “sin” not because sin disappeared, but because the concept of sin has been replaced with softer language: mistakes, weakness, psychological explanations, or vague “bad choices.” Pieper's central claim, they explain, is that sin is not merely a moral misstep but a rejection of reality itself.The conversation ties sin directly to freedom. Only a truly free person can sin, because sin requires knowledge, responsibility, and the willful refusal of the good. Drawing on the Catechism, they frame sin as an offense against reason, truth, and right conscience, as well as a failure in love caused by disordered attachment to lesser goods. Sin is not “missing the mark” in the sense of trying hard and falling short; it is a refusal, a “no” to what is.They also explore how every sin involves untruthfulness and self-deception. To commit sin, a person constructs a false account of reality that makes the act seem reasonable. This helps explain why rationalization demands constant outside validation and why modern life often tries to remove guilt without removing sin. Against that, the hosts emphasize that forgiveness presupposes guilt, and sin can only be understood alongside grace.Practical takeaways include building a daily examination of conscience, paying attention to patterns and triggers, naming both sins of commission and omission, and running to confession with regularity. The episode closes with a fatherly focus: how to speak about sin with children truthfully without crushing them, holding together mercy and clarity so that kids learn both the seriousness of sin and the permanence of love.Key topics coveredA family approach to New Year's disciplines: spiritual, virtue-driven, and “free choice” goalsWhy “the concept of sin” has faded while sin itself has notPieper's claim: before sin is a moral issue, it is a metaphysical issueSin, freedom, and responsibility: why only the free can sinWhy sin is more than “missing the mark”: refusal vs. mistakeSin as rejection of reality and the link to truth and the transcendentalsThe role of self-deception and rationalization in every sinful actGrace and forgiveness: why forgiveness presupposes guiltVice vs. sin and how habitual patterns can erode clarity and hopeExamination of conscience, confession, and spiritual “trench warfare”Parenting: naming sin without demoralizing children, holding truth with mercyNotable references mentionedJosef Pieper, The Concept of SinCatechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 1849 (definition of sin)St. Paul on grace abounding where sin increases
