Thank you for all of your support. Please let us know what you think about our podcast and what topic you may want to hear from us. Leaders, Lead Well!As we close out 2025, one thing is clear: leaders and teams can't simply optimize their way into the future — they must renew. In a world shaped by rapid AI advancement, hybrid work, and ongoing uncertainty, renewal is no longer a soft idea. It's a strategic reset.This episode explores what renewal of leadership and teams truly means as we move into 2026. Renewal isn't about adding more — it's about releasing what no longer serves us: outdated behaviors, rigid structures, and fear-based cultures — and amplifying what does: trust, empathy, agility, and human connection.For leaders, renewal means shifting from reactive problem-solvers to proactive navigators. It requires pairing human judgment with AI fluency, leading with greater self-awareness, and building cultures grounded in psychological safety and truth-telling. Less hierarchy and control — more clarity, courage, and ethical decision-making.For teams, renewal shows up as energy, ownership, and adaptability. The highest-performing teams in 2026 are psychologically safe, hybrid by design, skills-focused, and deeply accountable. They break down silos, learn through experimentation, and grow through coaching, mentoring, and real-time feedback.We also outline a practical roadmap for renewal:Reflect and release what's holding leaders and teams backSet antifragile goals that align growth with purposeInvest in development through coaching, mentorship, and AI-enabled learningFoster collaboration through flatter structures and shared ownershipMeasure, adapt, and celebrate progress to sustain momentumUltimately, renewal isn't a one-time initiative — it's a continuous cycle. Organizations that commit to it build stronger cultures, make better decisions, and achieve more sustainable performance.Join Rich and Maikel on this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT, as we challenge leaders to rethink renewal — not by adding more, but by letting go of what no longer serves their teams. Leaders, Lead Well!Thank you to all of our listeners in over 100 countries and now, 1,000 cities worldwide, we greatly appreciate your support!

Send us a textHey friends. This holiday season, I am grateful to share a story that is quite vulnerable for me. My hope in sharing is that someone needs this encouragement today - like I have needed in so many moments over the last decade. Thank you for loving me well and following along the podcast!The story starts with a single itchy spot and unfolds into a decade-long battle that touched every part of life—body, mind, and spirit. I share what it felt like to spiral each evening, why secrecy fed my shame, and how a simple, brave choice to let people in began to change the experience. As a psychologist, I understood the importance of support, yet I still fought the very human urge to hide. That tension, and the relief that followed, set the stage for a turning point I never saw coming.We walk through the medical odyssey—clean blood work, reassuring biopsies, and the maddening feeling of being told I was “healthy” while my skin told a louder truth. I talk about the resilience it takes to keep calling specialists, the discouragement of repeated insurance denials, and the quiet faith that carried me through nights when hope felt thin. Then the plot twists: a nudge to check for a cancellation, a dermatologist who immediately recognized the pattern, and a new biologic that promised help with minimal side effects. The approvals didn't come easy, but when the phone finally rang on my birthday, everything shifted.You'll hear about the first injection and the immediate relief, the joy of taking a hot bath without fear for the first time in years, and the gratitude that comes when daily suffering finally loosens its grip. This is a conversation about chronic itching and dermatology, yes—but more than that, it's about persistence, self-compassion, and faith in the face of setbacks. If you're navigating a chronic condition, fighting shame, or searching for answers, I hope this encourages you to keep going and to let someone walk with you. If the story resonates, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review to help others find their way here.Support the showwww.bethtrammell.com
This episode brings you an exclusive recording of the official hustings for the election of the next Lord Speaker. Organised by the Hansard Society and chaired by podcast co-host Ruth Fox, the event took place last week in the Robing Room of the House of Lords.Peers put questions to the two contenders for the role: Conservative peer Lord Forsyth and Crossbench peer Baroness Bull. This episode gives listeners rare access to the full exchange between peers and the candidates.The discussion ranged from the practical business of running the House of Lords chamber to some of the biggest constitutional and governance challenges facing Parliament.The Lord Speaker chairs proceedings in the Lords from the Woolsack and acts as an ambassador for the House. The role also includes chairing the House of Lords Commission and sharing responsibility for the Restoration and Renewal programme for the Palace of Westminster. Created in 2006, the post replaced the Lord Chancellor as presiding officer and is filled by a five-year election among peers. Once elected, the Lord Speaker steps away from party affiliation and does not vote.From the outset, peers quickly tested a central tension in the contest: was Lord Forsyth too political, and was Baroness Bull political enough? Questions followed on how the Lord Speaker should defend the House if a future government had little or no representation in the Lords, prompting discussion of constitutional conventions, respect for the Commons' electoral mandate and the Lords' role as a revising, “think again” chamber.Key themes included governance, security and the looming decisions on restoration and renewal, with both candidates stressing the need for clearer accountability, better communication with members and efforts to rebuild public trust in Parliament. Other questions covered public engagement and media coverage, sitting hours and late nights, amendment grouping and Question Time, and the practical support available to members, especially those based outside London._____

This week, I talk with Parker Palmer in one of the most intimate and expansive conversations I've had on Good Work. Parker is an author, activist, and teacher whose ideas have shaped generations. But what moves me most is his honesty. We talk about the winding path that led him from academic life to community organizing to a Quaker learning community where he rebuilt his inner world. We explore discernment, solitude, “Circles of Trust”, and what it means to listen to the voice of your soul—especially in seasons of burnout or heartbreak. At 86, Parker reflects on aging, democracy, vocation, and his belief that the heart can break in two ways: it can shatter, or it can break open into greater capacity. If you've ever felt pulled toward a path you “can't not do,” or if your inner life is asking more of you right now, this conversation is for you. Let's get to it! In this episode: (00:00) – Intro (00:42) – “Deep in the oatmeal” and the role of humor in a serious life (02:11) – How Parker's spiritual life slowly took shape (13:08) – Choosing to stay at Pendle Hill—and what that meant for Parker's family (23:45) – How to tell the difference between a passing idea and a true calling (31:40) – A radically different way of being in community (40:45) – Why presence matters more than fixing (52:35) – The unlikely beginnings of the Center for Courage & Renewal (01:05:17) – What 30 years of building an organization has taught Parker (01:15:06) – Solitude, nature, and marriage as sustaining practices (01:22:31) – Aging, loss, and staying open to what's next (01:30:39) – The two ways a heart can break Get full show notes and links at https://GoodWorkShow.com.

Are you praying for the conversion of someone you love and feeling discouraged because nothing seems to be changing? In this episode, Fr Columba speaks directly to the frustration, disappointment, and even despair that can creep in when our prayers appear unanswered. He explains why God is never ignoring our conversion prayers, why He will never force belief, and how grace really works in the hearts of those we're praying for. This reflection invites us to let go of control, keep praying with faith and hope, and trust that God is doing far more than we can see.

Reciniello shares his conversion story, from college excess to a life shaped by the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal and the Missionaries of Charity, and how those encounters forged a mission to awaken Catholic men.He reveals how daily prayer, sacramental life, and authentic brotherhood can rebuild the Church and culture one household at a time.

Have you ever felt that deep longing to step away from your practice—not for a long weekend or a quick vacation, but for a real pause? A stretch of time where you can rest, reset, and reconnect with yourself outside of the constant giving that comes with this work? That's exactly what Maegan Megginson and I explore in today's episode. Why Sabbaticals Matter—Beyond “Time Off” Most of us only hear the word sabbatical in academic circles, but as Maegan reminds us, its root is “Sabbath”—rest. Somewhere along the way, rest became another productivity tool, something to “use well” rather than simply experience. As therapists and practice owners, we need something different. A true sabbatical isn't for catching up on house projects or writing endless to-do lists—it's about completely reimagining your relationship with time, worth, and spaciousness. Transforming Your Relationship with Time: The Power of Sabbaticals for Therapists (00:06:57) The 4 Types of Sabbaticals for Small Business Owners (00:12:12) Healing & Self-Discovery During Time Away (00:17:43) Productivity Culture and Its Roots (00:20:38) Business Challenges to Taking a Sabbatical (00:25:18) Adjusting Business Systems to Integrate a Transformative Experience (00:29:45) Modeling Self-Care for Others (00:35:24) Collective Sabbatical for Conscious Shifts (00:36:45) Sabbatical Journey and Integration (00:40:27) Sabbatical School & Financial Freedom Why This Feels So Hard—And So Important Why This Feels So Hard—And So Important I know the fears that come up, because I've had them too: “My practice will fall apart.” “Clients will leave.” “I can't afford a break.” “People will judge me.” But Maegan and I both believe this wholeheartedly: your business can handle you stepping away for four weeks—and you can handle it too. Preparing your practice for your absence actually builds strength and resilience into your systems. And in truth, four weeks is a tiny blip in your clients' lives. For many of them, it may even model something deeply healing. Sabbaticals as an Act of Rebellion Stepping back isn't indulgent—it's radical. It pushes against the cultural message that your worth depends on your output. It shows your clients, your colleagues, your kids, and the people who look up to you that it's possible to reclaim time, energy, and humanity in a world that constantly asks for more. Your rest creates ripple effects. When you care for yourself, you give others permission to imagine a different way too. This conversation reminded me just how essential meaningful time away is—not only for our health and longevity, but for the stability of our businesses and the well-being of the communities we support. If you're feeling stretched thin, burnt out, or disconnected from yourself, this might be the moment to gently ask: What do I truly need right now? And… What might become possible if I gave myself four full weeks to breathe? Ready to Improve your Business Money Skills? Are you a Solo Private Practice Owner?

Looking for leadership that flows from prayer, healing, and depth—not burnout? Listen to this podcast. Ron's new book "Road to Renewal" is now available. Read it here: https://glnk.app/go/NVe_rIO7sLzF In this episode of the Huntley Leadership Podcast, Ron sits down with Chris Westlake, Director of Evangelization at Holy Family Catholic Church in Rockford, Illinois, for a deep and honest conversation about leadership, healing, and parish renewal that actually lasts. Chris shares his remarkable journey—from growing up in a broken home, to atheism, to an encounter with Jesus, and eventually coming home to the Catholic Church. Along the way, he unpacks how interior healing, prayer, Scripture, and the sacraments have shaped not just his faith, but his approach to leadership, teamwork, and organizational health in parish life. This conversation explores a truth many leaders intuitively know but rarely name: lasting fruit in ministry flows from who we are becoming, not just what we are doing. In this episode, you'll learn: - Why interior life and emotional healing are essential for sustainable leadership - How Scripture, prayer, fasting, and silence formed Chris's conversion and vocation - What parish leaders can learn from sports culture, teamwork, and organizational health - Why values and culture matter more than tactics when leading renewal - How the Eucharist, confession, and daily Mass shaped Chris's return to the Catholic Church - What it really takes to prepare a parish to receive the people God wants to send About our guest: Chris Westlake is the Director of Evangelization at Holy Family Catholic Church in Rockford, IL. A convert to the Catholic Church, Chris brings a unique blend of lived conversion, deep interior prayer, organizational insight, and pastoral sensitivity to his work. He lives in Rockford with his wife Gina and their son Joshua.

In this episode, Heather sits down with Crystal Goetz to explore the shared heartbeat between Messy Church and Fresh Expressions. Together they unpack how intergenerational, creative, and hands-on spaces cultivate openness, curiosity, and connection—often in places far beyond a traditional sanctuary. Crystal shares surprising stories of discipleship that unfolds across generations and reflects on how participatory, experiential communities naturally invite people into belonging from the very beginning.
Ever notice how quickly we jump to the next thing—new job, new podcast, new scroll—without finishing what's in front of us? We chase novelty as if the cure for boredom lives just over the horizon. But what if the real fix isn't finding something new, it's learning to make what matters feel new again?We unpack the honest reasons people leave: the job that lost its spark, the marriage that feels routine, the study that no longer stirs the heart. Instead of shaming those impulses, we trace them to burnout and a preview-first mindset shaped by endless feeds and constant options. Then we pivot to a different practice: renewal. Drawing on the spirit of Chanukah—rooted in chinuch, dedication and beginnings—we explore how to re-dedicate commitments so they stay alive. That means meeting work with purpose, nurturing relationships with simple daily rituals, and approaching learning as if it's being given today.Through historical lessons about what happens when service turns rote, we highlight the cost of “meh” and the power of youthful zeal grounded in worth. Renewal isn't hype; it's clear-eyed value that energizes action. You'll hear practical ways to revive meaning: finish more often, set small constraints that focus attention, re-anchor goals to people you serve, and light figurative candles that mark fresh starts. This is a roadmap for those who feel the drift and want their commitments—career, love, or faith—to glow again instead of dimming into habit.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with someone who needs a reset, and leave a quick review to tell us where you'll begin again today.Support the showJoin The Motivation Congregation WhatsApp community for daily motivational Torah content!---------------- SUBSCRIBE to The Weekly Parsha for an insightful weekly talk on the week's Parsha.

It's Christmastime again—and somehow life feels louder, faster, and crazier than ever. The shopping lists. The pressure. The hurry. The sense that this season we're supposed to savor just keeps flying by. Every December, we celebrate the most important birth in the history of Creation…yet so often we blink, and suddenly it's January. In this episode of the Impactus podcast, Dean sits down with pastor and best-selling author Rich Villodas to explore how Advent invites us to slow down, breathe, and re-center our lives on Jesus. Through the lens of his brand-new book, Waiting for Jesus: An Advent Invitation to Prayer and Renewal, Rich offers a refreshing path back to peace and purpose this busy holiday season. Together, Dean and Rich explore how the practices of Advent—waiting, contemplation, prayer, and peacemaking—can ground us in the story of Christ, rather than the chaos of our cultural consumerism. Whether you're walking through joy or grief this season, Advent reminds us that hope is not just an idea—it's a Person. Settle in for a meaningful, timely, and deeply encouraging Christmas conversation with Dean and Rich!

Because Christ has come, we should rejoice.In the third week of Advent, we consider the prophecy of Isaiah 9:1-7. In light of Christ's coming, Christians should be a people of profound joy!
In this sermon, pastor Dylan Dodson preaches from Nehemiah 11-12 as we look at how to sustain a renewal movement.
Rather than isolating from our neighbors or assimilating to our neighbors, God calls us to seek the comprehensive renewal of our neighbors. We should genuinely desire and actively help our neighbors to experience a thriving life. One of the primary (and often overlooked and underrated) ways we can do that is through our work. When we work with excellence, we bring glory to God and good to our neighbors.
Sr. Pastor A. A. Jackson shared this message live at the Island Nursing and Rehab' Center, in Holtsville, NY. It is based mainly on Jeremiah 23:5, 6. As we heed the call of God's Spirit, we will be led to make a spiritual move to Christ, Who is the way to God.

Life can get exhausting with the fast paced, daily grind of work, family, and responsibilities. Then on top of this, we recognize how heavy and difficult the spiritual battle can be, that we are in all of the time as Christian men. God offers us times of rest, renewal and refreshing. I encourage you to take Him up on his offer.

Do you feel discouraged or hopeless about the state of your country or the world? In this episode, Fr Columba unpacks why placing our hope in politicians or institutions always leads to disappointment—and how easily we turn people into idols by expecting from them what only God can give. Drawing on The Imitation of Christ, he shows that people are channels, not sources, and that real hope returns when we place our trust in God's power, not human ability.

Notes Matthew 11:2-11 Isaiah 35:1-10 James 5:7-10 Summary In this episode of the Pulpit Fiction Podcast, hosts Eric Fistler and Robb McCoy discuss the themes of Advent, focusing on the readings from Matthew, Isaiah, and James. They explore the challenges faced by churches during winter weather, the significance of John the Baptist's message, and the tension between expectations and reality during the Advent season. The conversation emphasizes the importance of community, patience, and the transformative power of faith, while also addressing the need for inclusivity and understanding in the church. Takeaways Advent is a time of reflection and preparation for the coming of Christ. John the Baptist's doubts highlight the human experience of uncertainty. Jesus invites us to see the good news in our midst, even amidst disappointment. The readings from Isaiah emphasize hope and restoration for the community. Patience in faith is not passive; it requires active engagement and community building. Transformation is a key theme in the Christmas narrative. The kingdom of God is present in acts of love and justice. Inclusivity is essential in understanding the message of the Gospel. Advent invites us to hold the tension between joy and sorrow. The church's role is to support and uplift those in need.

Why do we need God's Law to truly repent? We can't turn away from something if we don't know it's wrong. God's Law helps us understand right from wrong so we can recognize our sin, repent, and renew our relationship with Him. The Israelites in Nehemiah 9 finally get this when God's Law highlights the uncomfortable truth...they're no different than their ancestors. Their response is beautiful.Join us as we dive into one of the most powerful prayers in Scripture and walk with the Israelites through their incredible day of repentance. With this masterclass in confession, the Levites show us how to renew our relationship with God using the ACTS model of prayer. Themes of this podcast: Why wearing scratchy sackcloth matters (and what it means for us today)How repentance creates a pathway to relationship with GodGod's covenant renewals throughout Scripture all point to JesusNehemiah 9 is the last recorded covenant renewal before 400 years of silence. Then Jesus shows up with a New Covenant that He writes on our hearts.Show Notes:ACTS ModelWe love feedback, but can't reply without your email address.
