The promised land of intimacy is not a quiet house. It is a payout. You walk in looking for the land of milk and honey embodied within a person. Someone to end the wandering. Someone to cash the check the first house bounced. Metaphorically speaking, Egypt is or was that first house. First deep love and first fracture in the same hands. Parental potters, works in progress, missing chances to love on you and tend what you needed. You loved them and quietly loathed them in the same breath. You lowered the price of being shaped. The labor was the cost of the strategy you had to develop, which let you keep the love for the parental potter's hands while surviving the mess their brokenness created within the environment and within your chest. Canaan is the fantasy that one later body will be the exodus. Disney named it happily ever after. Spacious. Sweet. Rest from that labor. Needs that no longer have to go on sale. No more exposure. No more self-knowledge. Happily ever after shirks the responsibility of a holographic relational environment. That environment is a crucible. Psychological nudity. Being known without a costume. The credits roll so you never have to stand in that. Inheritance, as if a vow sworn to a people could be performed by a spouse. You call that chemistry, destiny, finally. Intuition says I can rest now. Ask which climate trained that rest. The potter's house or here. Authority sold you settlement as love, then sold you the ending. Reason says one finite person cannot flow with milk and honey on command, and cannot cancel the crucible. Canaan in a couple is destination-logic, not peace-logic. In the text the land is sworn possession, deliverance into fruit after barrenness, pasture after scarcity, rest from war. Cities you did not build. Wells you did not dig. Vineyards you did not plant. Eat, be full, do not forget. That cargo gets dropped on a lover and renamed happily ever after. They will see you so the first invisibility dies. They will stay so the first leaving gets reversed. They will tend what the first potters missed. Conflict then feels like eviction from the land. Ordinary human limit feels like exile, like having to raise the price of yourself again. Peace becomes a product you buy with silence, sex, image, or church. You were not relating. You were occupying. The land already had people in it. Promise arrives with contest. Spies taste the fruit and still panic at the giants. Watch what you do after closeness. That is the empirical test. Do you soften into here, or do you scan for proof the giants are gone, the old quota is canceled, and the story has finally gone to credits. Their actual life becomes what must be driven out so your hunger can settle. A healthy bond is the anti-promised land because it refuses to hire one nervous system to finish the potter's job and refuses to play happily ever after with a human being. Presence is not a refund for Egypt. Relating is not collection for missed tending. Happily ever after is how the mask avoids psychological nudity. A kiss cannot annex a past. A vow cannot unwrite a childhood. The vows you can keep are smaller and harder. Tell the truth. Do not vanish. Do not turn their life into your territory. Stay in the exposure. Stay in the crucible. Covenant in the book can be lost. Exile sits in the same library as milk and honey. So can the marriage that was asked to be Canaan. The mask that will fight this hour is simple. I am the one who is owed rest from the labor of being shaped. I am the one who is owed a land that flows and a story that ends. If I drop that, I do not know who I am. Name one result that would change your mind. If you cannot, you are not inquiring. You are defending the deed. Are you with them in this room, or are you occupying them as the last Canaan that might still make you whole, waiting for them to keep a promise they never made, in a land they are not.

Welcome back to the Word on Fire Show. I'm Matthew Petrusek, senior director of the Word on Fire Institute and the host of the Word on Fire Show. Thank you for joining us. The Liturgy of the Hours, or the "Divine Office," is often associated exclusively with the spiritual practices of priests, monks, and nuns. To be sure, praying the Hours is an essential part of the lives of those who have formally taken religious vows. However, the prayer of the Church, as the Liturgy of the Hours is also called, is precisely that: a way of sanctifying the day for the whole Church, both laity and clergy alike. With so many forms of prayer already available, however, why should lay Catholics also consider praying the Hours? What, substantively, is distinctive about it? What are its origins? Moreover, given the size and complexity of the Hours—the full liturgy occupies four thick volumes of text with multiple ribbons to mark different sections—how, practically, can we get started? Here to explain the enduring theological and spiritual richness of the Liturgy of the Hours and how it deepens and enriches all Catholics' lives, is Bishop Robert Barron. Topics Covered 00:00 | Introduction 01:11 | Bishop Barron's diocesan travels 02:35 | Why the Liturgy of the Hours matters to Word on Fire 03:57 | Leading with beauty 04:57 | Prayer and the importance of embodiment 08:06 | The origins and practice of praying the Divine Office 12:13 | How the Liturgy of the Hours shapes priests 13:26 | Understanding the Liturgy of the Hours as the Divine Office 14:22 | Relating the Liturgy of the Hours to the liturgy of the Mass 15:11 | What makes a prayer liturgical? 15:52 | Why the Psalms feature so prominently in the Divine Office 20:06 | How the laity benefits from praying the Divine Office 21:46 | "Pray without ceasing" 23:17 | Getting started with the Liturgy of the Hours 27:32 | Persevering through fatigue in prayer 30:51 | The Divine Office and evangelization 31:44 | Listener question: What effect does our prayer have on others? 34:18 | Join the Word on Fire Institute Links: Word on Fire Institute: https://institute.wordonfire.org/ NOTE: Do you like this podcast? Become a Word on Fire IGNITE member!

Do you believe Christians should control the outcome of political and state decisions? Should Christians fear governing authorities? How do Christians engage and interact with the wider political culture and the powers of the age? Today, the guys engage with some of the most cited passages as they wind down their series on politics and faith, focusing on the Christian's relationship with governing authorities.  Tune in to hear how passages like Romans 13:1–5, Matthew 22:15–22, Titus 3:1–5, 1 Peter 2:11, 1 Timothy 2:1–4, and Matthew 10:28 fit into the conversation and inform our ultimate posture.

Problems Relating to Marriage and Singleness Pt.2

This week I welcome back the superb Keri Jarvis, who joined me for the episode "Disrupting the Wellness Industry" back in 2024. One of the wisest and most sensible people I have in my circle (as well as suitably radical and feisty - obviously) Keri shares her reflections on the ways we do and do not relate in today's world. Observing how many of the conditions and structures of our lives have rendered us relationally de-skilled, Keri and I explore possibility for communication, honesty, vulnerability, understanding and knowing ourselves and each other in a world which is increasingly polarised, divided and in short - a time of polycrisis!This is a must-listen episode for how we might actually create the environments and relational dynamics for what Keri calls, liveable futures TOGETHER.In this episode:- how systems of capitalism, supremacy and patriarchy have informed the way we interact with one another and in many respects deskilled us.- how mainstream ‘wellness culture' or ‘Western psychology' in some ways perpetuates some of these relational challenges, despite best intentions- how spaces of activism and social change can also mirror relational complexity and cycles of relational harmeimagining possibility for how we may be together in relational intimacy About Keri:Keri Jarvis is a Leftist Coach, Thought Partner & Community Activist supporting people to navigate the relational complexity of the polycrisis.Keri is deeply interested in how we've been relationally de-skilled, and disciplined into seeing ourselves and one another as separate cogs in a machine within Last Stage Capitalism. Her work supports people to develop more agile relationships with themselves, fertilising the possibility of generative, resilient relational dynamics. She believes the portals to liveable futures can be entered through our relationships- if only we can bear to be perceived.To contact Keri: https://www.kerijarvis.com/Key Topics:Relational de-skilling under capitalismThe paradox of intimacy and estrangementImpact of wellness culture on relationshipsStrategies for relational courage and vulnerabilityReimagining community through radical engagementThe role of boundaries and grey areas in connectionThe importance of compassion and self-awarenessActivism and relational work in social changeChapters:00:00 Introduction and guest background02:10 The relational paradox: desire for intimacy vs. fear of being known05:01 Impact of capitalism and social systems on relational skills09:02 The influence of wellness culture and individualism15:02 Reimagining community through radical engagement19:53 The importance of relational complexity and uncertainty24:48 The role of boundaries and self-awareness in relationships30:10 Practicing honesty and vulnerability in social change35:05 The power of small acts of kindness and connection39:56 Developing courage and compassion in activism45:02 The potential of strangers and everyday interactions49:56 Self-compassion and growth through relational challenges01:00:07 Course announcement and closing remarksResources:Radical Intimacy by Sophie K.

Problems Relating to Marriage and Singleness Pt.1

Problems Relating to Marriage and Singleness

Aaron Leonard and Donald Parkinson sit down for a conversation on Leonard's recent book 'Menace of Our Time: The Long War Against American Communism'. Relating this history to current events, Leonard and Parkinson discuss the various ways that the U.S. government, and in particular the FBI, subverted civil liberties and indulged in state repression according to the ebbs and flows of geopolitics while never abandoning its agenda of surveillance and subversion of the Communist Movement. From the early days of Criminal Syndicalism laws and the Palmer Raids to the rise of the New Left and the marginalization of the Party, the long arc of a campaign of espionage that utilized legal and extra-legal tactics provides an important window into the nature of state repression against left-wing dissidents in a country that is supposedly a bastion of political liberty.

Send us Fan MailAI is changing the economics of cyberattacks by making them faster, cheaper, and easier to scale. In this episode of Relating to DevSecOps, Ken is joined by Conor Sherman, Chief Security Officer at Sysdig and host of the Zero Signal podcast, to explore what the rise of agentic threat actors means for defenders.Using the Jade Puffer ransomware attack as a real-world example, they discuss how autonomous attackers can discover vulnerabilities, compromise environments, move laterally, adapt their code, identify valuable data, and deploy ransomware with little human involvement.The conversation also looks at how defenders can respond through stronger security architecture, automated patching, real-time detection, automatic response, and AI-assisted modernization. Rather than replacing security fundamentals, AI can help teams apply them faster, handle difficult edge cases, and build more resilient systems.For security teams wondering where to begin, the message is simple: start small, automate one meaningful workflow, and build from there.

Teaching on 1 Timothy 5:1-2

Both long-distance running and successful investing require endurance. A runner does not become stronger overnight. Progress comes from showing up consistently, trusting the training, and staying the course even when the weather is tough, motivation is low, or race day does not go as planned. Investing works much the same way. Successful investors stay disciplined during market downturns, avoid emotional decisions, keep investing through the ups and downs, and allow compounding to do its work over time. Whether you are chasing a marathon finish line or financial independence, the formula is surprisingly similar: Be patient. Stay consistent. Trust the process. The biggest rewards often come to those who simply refuse to quit.

In this throwback episode of the Uploft Interior Design Podcast, Betsy Helmuth opens the episode with personal anecdotes before discussing how to manage design expectations and investments. She shares tips on how listeners can ask her design questions effectively. Betsy then offers advice on selecting an interior designer.

COULD A RELATIONSHIP BE YOUR TICKET OUT OF HELL… OUT OF HERE? What if the relationship you keep trying to save exists to strip bare and destroy the performative version of yourself that keeps calling superficial captivity love? Human beings built temples and spiritual systems in pursuit of liberation. Then we entered intimate relationships and treated the spiritual practice available as a comfort machine. Earth is the campus. Relationship is the curriculum. Relating is the practice. Your partner reaches places no sermon can reach. Their freedom exposes your attachment. Their difference threatens the identity built around being needed, chosen, desired, or reassured. The argument you keep trying to win may be the lesson your consciousness keeps refusing to learn. Intimate hell becomes the preferred model because it feels familiar. Clinicians may call it reenactment. Hawkins may call it an attractor field. The language changes. The return continues. The psyche keeps choosing the emotional climate it already knows how to survive. Rejection feels like chemistry. Distance feels like mystery. Control feels like care. Anxiety feels like passion. Performance feels like love. The partner becomes supply. You provide my peace. You regulate my worth. You quiet my fear. You prove that I matter. I call you perfect while you continue feeding the wound whose appetite never ends. That appetite remains endless because the wound has been starved from within. Its missing nourishment is direct, nonjudgmental observation: seeing fear, shame, grief, rage, need, and jealousy without condemnation, verdict, or exile. Integration asks us to offer inwardly what we keep demanding outwardly. We avoid that work. So intimacy becomes a supply chain. Giving stays conditional upon receiving. The pedestal holds whoever keeps the wound fed. When the supply weakens, the “perfect partner” becomes cold, selfish, or changed. Unconditional love breaks the loop. It allows truth without punishment, closeness without ownership, care without self-erasure, difference without exile, and freedom without abandonment. It can set boundaries, remove access, or end the relationship without stripping either person of human worth. The deepest question reaches beyond staying together: Can two human beings stop employing each other to manage their wounds long enough to discover whether love remains? Your partner cannot carry you out of hell. Relationship may reveal why you keep choosing it.

Attachment styles aren't your identity. Dr. Ann Kelley explains secure relating, modern attachment theory, trauma healing, nervous system regulation, relationship repair, shame reduction, and why emotional security is something we actively practice—not something we permanently achieve. How can we, as therapists, help people better understand themselves, improve their relationships, and reduce the shame that accompanies emotional struggles that are often rooted in relational trauma?  It's a basic question at the root of our work and host Emily Ruth invites psychologist, author, and fellow podcaster Ann Kelley, Ph.D., to address it by demystifying the principles of modern attachment theory. Ann draws on her clinical work, research, and experience as co-creator of the podcast Therapist Uncensored to present a compassionate, up-to-date view of attachment that replaces rigid labels with practical strategies for meaningful relational growth.  The conversation also delves into the importance of remaining curious and willing to challenge the limits of our own educational or experiential bias as information evolves. This skill is on full display in Secure Relating: Holding Your Own in an Insecure World, the book Ann co-authored with her "neuronerd" colleague and co-host Sue Marriott, LCSW, CGP. Transforming Trauma thanks Ann for sharing her hopeful yet practical approach to psychological growth. She shares meaningfully on what it means to explore our attachment patterns without judgment or predetermined outcomes.

We get into querying, indie publishing vs. the Big Five, advances, audiobooks, and DIY book publicity. She also shares why every writer needs a newsletter, how she built an effective Substack strategy, the publicity tactics that landed her major media coverage, and why tapping into your existing network is often more powerful than chasing social media algorithms.Plus, Tawny explains how she sold a sobriety card deck to Penguin Random House, why rejection is an essential part of every publishing career, and the simple writing advice that transformed her creative practice.Subscribe to Tawny's Substack Beyond Liquid Courage.

Welcome back to the Word on Fire Show. I'm Matthew Petrusek, senior director of the Word on Fire Institute and the host of the Word on Fire Show. Thank you for joining us. The United States is celebrating its 250th birthday, marking two and a half centuries since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. That a country as expansive and diverse as ours has remained united under a single Constitution for two and a half centuries—passing through multiple existential wars, including a civil war, and numerous periods of traumatic political and economic upheaval—is a monumental achievement by any historical standard. How might we assess this moment from a Catholic perspective? What is it about the United States of America that is politically and morally distinctive? What binds us together as a people? Is it accurate to say that we are a Christian nation? If not, what conception of "God" is operative in the founders' references to the divine? If so, what should we make of the future of America given the dramatic decline of Church attendance among both Catholics and Protestants in recent decades? Perhaps most importantly for this moment, what can we learn from our collective past as Americans to guide us into the future? Here to address these questions, and to share his experience participating in the recent Rededicate 250 event on the National Mall in Washington, DC, is Bishop Robert Barron. Topics Covered 00:00 | Introduction 01:28 | Bishop Barron visits Orlando (The US bishops consecrate the nation to the sacred heart of Jesus 02:50 | Rededicate 250 in Washington DC 04:01 | Is this a Christian nation? 07:10 | How did the Founding Fathers view God? 08:51 | Mere Christianity or Protestant theology? 12:30 | The founding documents and God 14:38 | The Declaration of Independence: a declaration of dependence on God 16:07 | Connecting freedom with human dignity 22:33 | Relating equality with freedom 24:21 | Can patriotism and piety agree? 27:04 | Responding to the post-liberal critique of the American experiment 34:01 | Evangelism and the American Republic 35:28 | Listener question: Is praying for politicians effective? 37:49 | Join the Word on Fire Institute Links: Word on Fire Institute: https://institute.wordonfire.org/ NOTE: Do you like this podcast? Become a Word on Fire IGNITE member!

A grounded, compassionate guide to reconnecting with your body, calming your nervous system, and finding peace and clarity in midlife.In this episode of The Midlife Purpose Project, Katie explores what it truly means to come home to your body—and why this is one of the most important steps in reducing anxiety, healing the nervous system, and finding clarity in midlife.If you've been feeling disconnected from yourself, stuck in your head, or experiencing anxiety that doesn't fully resolve, this episode offers a powerful reframe:The issue isn't that something is wrong with you— it may be that you've become disconnected from your body.Katie explains how many women in midlife unintentionally learn to disconnect from their bodies over time—especially after experiences of stress, trauma, illness, or simply years of prioritizing others over themselves.While this disconnection can be protective in the moment, it often leads to:anxiety and nervous system dysregulationdifficulty feeling calm or groundedoverthinking and mental overwhelmloss of clarity and directiona sense of not feeling like yourself

In this first episode of our Daughters series, we're diving into the powerful and unexpected story of Rahab—a woman whose life reminds us that no one is too far gone for God's redemption. We unpack how her bold faith in the middle of a broken story reveals the heart of God toward His daughters. As we explore her story in the city of Jericho, we're reminded that God sees, pursues, and deeply loves each of us—no matter our past. We also share personal stories of how God has pursued us in our own lives, showing us that His love crosses every boundary and reaches into every season. This episode is an invitation to see yourself in scripture, to believe that God is after your heart, and to trust that He's still writing redemption stories today—including yours.

You thought you were dating. You were actually performing — alone, in the dark, with no witnesses. The modern dating machine sold you a lie so seductive it felt like freedom: that real love happens in private, that self-sabotage is just “my process,” and that needing people to see you makes you weak. That lie is older than the apps. It is colonial. It is the same psychological split that taught generations to distrust communal eyes and call isolation strength. Friendfluence is the antidote that refuses to stay quiet. It is not cute group dates or asking your friends for advice. It is the deliberate return of the container — the group as centerline, as living mirror, as live audit that will not let your old pattern complete itself in silence. When your people are allowed to witness the actual version of how you love, the inherited fracture starts to crack. The nervous system that learned to perform safety while hiding its damage finally gets data it cannot ignore. This is not about giving up power. It is about exposing the version of you that misuses power in private. By the end of this conversation, some part of you will feel it: you have been catching your own patterns late. The question is no longer whether you need witnesses. The question is whether you're finally ready to stop protecting the version of you that needed to stay unseen.

Dr. Kathy Koch wants to help parents adjust to a “new normal” when their children become adults. The relationship has changed, and parents of adult kids need to change their expectations, listen more and advise less, break free from codependency, and give these new adults space and freedom to become the people God made them to be.
