Send us a textEp 345 show notes are here: http://www.merrittonsa.com/podcast/345Have you ever lost your confidence just as you were about to take a big risk?It's not your imagination. That wave of self-doubt, discouragement, or distraction is more than a bad day—it's creative resistance. Understanding where it comes from (and how to respond) could be the difference between quitting and persevering.This episode explores the spiritual reality of creative resistance—what it looks like, why it shows up, and how to prepare your heart for the battle that often follows a calling. You'll hear personal experiences, biblical encouragement, and three powerful strategies for staying grounded when the enemy shows up loud.Here's what you'll learn: 

Dr. Karyne Messina and Dr. Felicia Powell-Williams, the host and co-host of “Psychoanalytic Perspectives of Racism in America” sponsored by The American Psychoanalytic Association explored how employing mechanisms of defense perpetuates racial injustice's movement forward and the resistance it faces as a tug of war, i.e., progress followed by backlash. They examined the symbolic removal of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s bust from the White House and its implications for societal values, while also talking about the impact of Dr. King's assassination and the current state of racial justice initiatives. The conversation included a discussion about the challenges of tolerating difficult truths and emotions in both psychoanalysis and society, including the persistence of white supremacy and its modern manifestations. It also underscored how symbols of the civil rights movement have been honored at the highest level of government yet in this case defense mechanisms initiated the physical removal of the bust. Other topics discussed by the host and co-host covered the current administration's sense of Juneteenth including the press secretary's statements that suggested the day was “observed” but not “celebrated.” Her statements seemed to be in line with President Trump's remarks about Americans having “too many holidays” which many observers interpreted as a direct critique of Juneteenth itself and, more broadly, of recent efforts to deemphasize the historical experiences of Black Americans. This approach stands in contrast to previous years when Donald Trump issued statements honoring Juneteenth. Some analysts and advocates have noted that the timing of President Trump's post was likely not coincidental. By choosing Juneteenth to air grievances about paid holidays, he sent a message to his political base that aligns with his administration's broader efforts to roll back diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. The lack of formal White House observance and Trump's public complaints about holidays were viewed by some as part of a pattern of minimizing the importance of this holiday and its meaning for Black Americans as well as all people in this country who celebrate the end of slavery.

Episode Overview- Revival begins in private—growth happens when no one's watching.- Resistance is normal and often increases when you pursue God deeply.- Spiritual warfare is real and personal when revival takes root.- Opposition can come from within the church due to fear or pride.- God promises His presence, not always visible success or favor.- Stay faithful in prayer, even when you feel nothing—revival takes perseverance.Show notes & Resources

Ever feel like you're missing something in your sessions? The word "resistance" often gets a bad rap, but what if it's actually the key to a therapeutic breakthrough? In this episode, we sit down with researcher Alyssa Di Bartolomeo to explore "process coding"—the science of detecting the subtle cues clients give when therapy is off-track. Discover how to read these critical signals, prevent ruptures, and transform your ability to connect with clients. This is the skill that separates average therapists from master clinicians.

In this episode of The Sobremesa Podcast, we explore the complex and often contradictory history of Catalonia under Franco with historian Dr. Andrew Dowling.We unpack how the Francoist regime initially crushed Catalan language and culture, only to later co-opt selective elements for its own purposes — reshaping Catalan identity under authoritarian rule.We also examine the uncomfortable truths of the period: the early support of the Catalan upper class for the Franco regime, and how this changed in the face of growing repression and political decay.As the dictatorship entered its final, violent phase, a surprising alliance emerged — Catalan communists and the Catholic Church working together to organise resistance and push for democratic change.This episode is about memory, identity, collaboration, and struggle — and how Catalonia's past continues to shape its present.

Lee Wolak explores the deeper metaphysical meaning of resistance, the tension, the emotional pushback, the energetic recoil we feel when life doesn't go the way we planned.

Discover how to transform resistance into radical self-awareness, emotional healing, and spiritual growth.

There are different arenas in which we can choose to do spiritual warfare. There is agricultural, courtroom, and battlefield warfare. God truly wants prayer to be preventative in our lives. We can have things theologically that we don't yet have experientially. Intercession is meant to bring what we have theologically into reality. Jesus and His 12 never experienced sickness, tragedy, or loss. They were always on the offensive, solving other people's problems, healing the sick, and casting out demons. God desires for us to live in a place of security and safety so we can go out and fight other people's battles, rather than being stuck fighting our own. 

As a dictatorship consolidates in Turkey, aspiring strongman Recep Tayip Erdogan is launching a special attack on municipalities, arresting the mayor of Istanbul and removing elected governments in hundreds of cities and towns across the country—mostly in the restive Kurdish east. In the United States, aspiring strongman Donald Trump is now threatening to similarly remove Zohran Mamdani if he becomes mayor of New York, and order a federal take-over of the city government. Border czar Tom Homan says he will "flood the zone" with ICE agents in "sanctuary cities" such as New York and Los Angeles. In Episode 287 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg argues that Trump forcing the issue could accelerate the breaking point in which localities coast-to-coast assert their autonomous powers in repudiation of the fascist-coopted federal leviathan—vindicating Murray Bookchin's theories of radical municipalism.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Daniel Offutt from Kingman, AZ. Thank you for standing with us throughout Project 23. You're helping people encounter truth—and wrestle with it honestly. This one's for you. Our text today is Mark 11:27-30: And they came again to Jerusalem. And as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came to him, and they said to him, “By what authority are you doing these things, or who gave you this authority to do them?” Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. Was the baptism of John from heaven or from man? Answer me.” — Mark 11:27-30 The religious leaders confront Jesus again—this time with a loaded question. Here it is: “By what authority are you doing these things?” They aren't curious. They're calculating. This isn't about truth—it's about control. Jesus had turned their tables. He had called out and shut down extortion in the temple. He had exposed their spiritual hollowness. Now they're demanding credentials. But Jesus doesn't answer directly. Instead, he asks his own question about another man who came before him, John the Baptist: “Was his baptism authority from heaven or from man?” It's brilliant. Because their response to John reveals everything about their posture toward truth. If they say John's ministry was authorized from heaven, they know Jesus will say, “Then why didn't you believe him?” If they say it was authority from man, they'll lose their influence over the crowd. So they dodge the question altogether. Sometimes people ask spiritual questions, but not to get answers. They ask to stall. To spin their version of the truth. To stay in control because they resist surrender. And we do this, too, when we question God's timing. His Word. His commands. But deep down, it's not always a question of gaining understanding—it's about resisting total surrender. The truth is: Jesus has authority. Over all belief. Over all morality. Over all future. Over all life and death, whether you like his authority or not. So the real question isn't: “Who gave Jesus all this authority?” It's: Will you submit to the authority he already has? Jesus, we submit to you again today. Amen. #JesusIsLord, #AuthorityOfChrist, #Mark11 ASK THIS: Why were the religious leaders really questioning Jesus? What does Jesus' counter-question reveal about their hearts? Where are you resisting God's authority in your life right now? What would it look like to submit to Jesus fully today? DO THIS: Ask God to expose any area of your life where you're questioning, not out of hunger, but out of hesitation to obey. PRAY THIS: Jesus, you don't need my permission to have authority. You already have it. So help me stop resisting and start surrendering. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Forever Reign."

Ah, summer. The season of sticky popsicles and even stickier expectations. It’s supposed to be the time of rest and freedom, but more-often-than-not, it’s anything but. In this solo episode, Kate shares from her very real, very mosquito-bitten summer, exploring the myth of summer as effortless bliss and what it means to resist our culture’s obsession with doing more, achieving more, and smiling through it all. Instead, what if we embraced a gentler kind of ambition? Kate reflects on the sacred permission of Sabbath, the theology of rest, and how even our underachieving might be a form of holy resistance. If you’re feeling overcooked, overwhelmed, or just plain over it—this one’s for you.

Will AI steal your sales team's jobs? It's the question haunting every sales floor conversation and keeping leaders up at night. But here's the crucial insight: The biggest threat to your team's sales careers lies in misinterpreting AI's role. While the debate rages over robots replacing salespeople, forward-thinking organizations are already embracing "Agentic AI." This isn't your typical automation that just speeds up email sequences. It's a completely different approach that turns AI into your sales team's secret weapon, not their replacement. The companies getting this right aren't asking "How do we cut costs with AI?" They're asking, "How do we make our best salespeople unstoppable?" The answer is reshaping the entire profession, and it's happening faster than you think. Agentic AI is Far From Old-School Automation Most sales leaders think AI is about efficiency, and they're wrong. They think teams will only send more emails, make more calls, and process more leads. That's old-school automation thinking, not agentic AI Agentic AI refers to artificial intelligence systems that can independently make choices and take actions while working toward complicated objectives—all without needing constant human oversight or guidance. As Outreach CEO Abhijit Mitra puts it: Agentic AI engines focus on giving salespeople tools that enhance their strengths and simplify their daily tasks. Agentic AI enhances human judgment. Instead of automating relationships, it deepens them. Your top performers are successful because they make better decisions, read situations more accurately, and build stronger connections. Agentic AI amplifies gives your salespeople superhuman pattern recognition, instant access to contextual insights, and the ability to predict customer needs before prospects even realize them. Your best rep's intuition, backed by AI's analytical power, becomes an unstoppable combination. The Best AI is Custom Built Too many organizations buy the same generic solution their competitors are using and wonder why they're not seeing breakthrough results. Your sales process, market, and customers are unique. Your AI should be, too. Despite often being an expensive investment, custom AI solutions adapt to your specific industry terminology, recognize your unique buying patterns, and align with your particular sales methodology. If your team can't find ways to use generative AI effectively, then they need to read The AI Edge by best-selling author Jeb Blount. If they still struggle to use generative AI effectively, it might be time to invest in custom AI that captures and amplifies your unique competitive advantages. Why Most AI Implementations Fail From the Start Before you get excited about AI magic, be warned: Most AI implementations fail spectacularly. Not because the technology is flawed, but because companies skip the unglamorous groundwork. Your AI is only as good as your data. Garbage in, garbage out is both a tech cliché and the undeniable reason your CRM feels like a digital junk drawer and your sales forecasts are glorified guesswork. Companies that invest in data cleanup before implementing AI see immediate, measurable improvements. It's more than removing duplicate contacts. It's about creating a foundation where AI can learn meaningful patterns about your customers, your market, and your sales process. Poor data quality limits AI performance and makes it downright dangerous. When AI systems learn from incomplete or incorrect data, they amplify those errors across your entire sales process. Your reps start making decisions based on flawed insights, potentially damaging customer relationships and missing opportunities. The lesson? AI transformation is a data governance initiative. Get it right, and everything else becomes possible. How to Manage Your Team's Resistance to Change Picture this: You announce your AI initiative in Monday's sales meeting. Instead of excitement,

In this episode of The Radical Therapist, Chris sits down with Dr. Makungu Akinyela, scholar, therapist, and community organizer to discuss his new book Culture, Politics, Spirituality and Practice: A Book of Resistance and Critical Theory for Disturbing Times. We explore how therapy can be an act of resistance, how spirituality is political, and how Dr. Akinyela's groundbreaking practice of Testimony Therapy reclaims healing as a collective, culturally-rooted, and justice-oriented process. From the failures of Western psychology to the power of African-centered healing, this conversation is a call to action for therapists, healers, and anyone committed to liberation work in disturbing times. https://makunguakinyelaauthor.com/ https://www.sankofatestimonies.com/ Chris Hoff PhD, LMFT We want to hear from you!

On July 17, 1936, the Nazi-backed Spanish General Federico Franco led an armed rebellion against the Spanish government. It began a bloody civil war that would last for years. Thousands of people left their homes and traveled to Spain to stand up and defend its democratically elected government against Franco and fascism. Roughly 35,000 people from more than 50 countries would join the Spanish International Brigade. Of those internacionalistas, roughly 3,000 men and women came from the United States and volunteered to fight. They founded the Abraham Lincoln Brigade. This is episode 58 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

In this thought-provoking episode, Greg Verdino and Geoff Livingston sit down with media ecologist, leadership expert, and author Jack Myers for a wide-ranging conversation on the intersection of AI, leadership, creativity, and Taoist philosophy. Drawing on insights from his latest book, The Tao of Leadership, Jack shares why 3,000-year-old Taoist wisdom might be the perfect guide for navigating today's era of AI and exponential technological change. The conversation explores how principles like “leading by following” and “fusion flow” can help leaders move more fluidly through uncertainty, disruption, and accelerated innovation. Rather than building slow, rigid bridges to a future that keeps shifting, Jack advocates for fast-moving portals that help teams adapt in real time, led not just by technology but by deeply human values. Jack, Greg and Geoff also unpack the creative implications of AI, arguing that the real power lies not in replacement but in remix: combining machine-generated suggestions with human intuition, emotional nuance, and originality. Along the way, they touch on education, culture, risk-taking, and what it takes to lead through fear, data deluge, and systemic stagnation. With stories drawn from marketing, media, music, and even (wait for it…) Second Life, this episode offers a human-centered lens on a fast-evolving future and invites listeners to rethink not just how we work but how we imagine what's possible.

Muscle health isn't just about how much protein you eat—it's about how your body uses it. And for people with obesity or advancing age, that process can become less effective, even with optimal nutrition. In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Nick Burd, one of the world's leading researchers in muscle metabolism, to unpack the concept of anabolic resistance—when muscle doesn't respond normally to protein and/or exercise. Together, we explore how aging, obesity and even the way foods are combined on your plate can impact muscle remodeling, recovery, and growth. Dr. Burd also shares why plant-based proteins often fall short, why protein efficiency matters more than quantity, and how endurance and resistance training affect nutrient use differently.You'll learn:What anabolic resistance is—and why it matters How to improve protein efficiency and muscle quality over timeWhy food matrix, and timing can change your resultsKey differences in nutrition strategies for endurance vs. strength athletesWhether you're focused on longevity, performance, or helping someone break through a plateau, this episode delivers the research-backed information you've been looking for.Who is Dr. Nick Burd? Dr. Nick A. Burd is a muscle-metabolism scientist and professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he leads the Nutrition & Exercise Performance Research Group. Originally from the Midwest, he trained under renowned experts around the world before focusing his research on how protein and exercise influence muscle health across the lifespan. His work uses advanced tracer methods and muscle biopsies to explore optimal protein intake, plant vs. animal protein quality, and strategies to combat anabolic resistance.

This week Jeff and Dave are wrapping up the Attic portion of their whirlwind tour through beginning Greek textbooks. On the menu today is the text of Donald Mastronarde, as well as Athenaze. After some introductory comments, i.e., a fine anecdote from Halik Kochanski's magisterial Resistance, the nit and the grit of Mastronarde's very thorough presentation is then duly engaged, with a discussion of the presentation of the verb εἰμί, types of the genitive and dative, and a close look at the exempla provided. Then, it's on to Athenaze, a handsome, readings-based text presented obviously with the neophyte student in mind, with engaging stories, clear presentations, excellent vocab. lists, and more. Finally, the guys wrap up with a tour through MossMethod, the 1893 public domain text that Dave has adapted (and tirelessly peddled) to a wordlwide audience.  Don't worry, Adnavserinos, we will later cover New Testament (Koine) textbooks (Mounce, Wallace, Decker, Machen, etc.) as promised. Tune in for more gooey, listening goodness.

“Let's stop ‘aging gracefully' and start aging strong”                                        -Dr. Alan Rozanski   In this powerful and practical conversation, Barbara is joined by Dr. Alan Rozanski, a nationally recognized expert in preventive cardiology, Professor of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and founder of one of the country's top cardiac rehabilitation programs. Together, they dive deep into what it really means to age better—and why strength may be the most overlooked key to thriving after 60.  Dr. Rozanski explains that aging doesn't happen in a straight line—it jumps, especially around age 60. That's when declines in muscle mass, mental sharpness, and energy can take a sharp turn. But it doesn't have to be that way.  Using his groundbreaking Six Domains of Optimal Health and Vitality framework, Dr. Rozanski shares science-backed, actionable strategies for building physical strength, cultivating mental vitality, managing stress, deepening purpose, and fostering emotional resilience and social connection.  Whether you're in midlife or well beyond, this episode offers a roadmap for becoming not just older—but stronger, sharper, and more alive. It is a true masterclass in aging better.   Key Takeaways:  Aging isn't linear—it accelerates at key moments, including around age 60.  Strength training is essential for preventing falls, frailty, and decline.  Resistance training should be included in standard medical guidelines.  Measuring muscle strength can be as important as tracking blood pressure.  Daily physical activity can dramatically lower your risk of early death.  Living with purpose fuels vitality, energy, and emotional wellbeing.  Loneliness is a serious public health threat—but it can be reversed.  Emotional mastery helps you navigate challenges with resilience.  Stress, when managed well, can become a force for growth.  Small steps—like a few bodyweight squats a day—can change your trajectory.  Learn more about Dr. Alan Rozanski HERE  Learn more about Barbara Hannah Grufferman HERE  FOLLOW ‘AGE BETTER':   To join this adventure, remember to subscribe or follow the "Age Better with Barbara Hannah Grufferman" podcast on platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.

Jonah: The Reluctant Prophet

Pastor Ara Tarosian joins Mike and Tim to share his incredible journey from persecution in Iran to building a vibrant church community in Los Angeles. He went viral a few weeks ago for a visdeo he posted of members of his congregation being abducted by ICE (See our instagram this week for the video). From surviving the Iranian Revolution to smuggling Bibles and leading a massive underground church, Pastor Ara's story is both heart-wrenching and inspiring. In this thought-provoking discussion, he recounts the challenges faced by Iranian Christians, the cultural and political hurdles of immigration, and how faith can endure under immense pressure.  This episode explores themes of cruciformity, faith and politics, the role of the church in society, and navigating cultural challenges in a deeply divided world. Pastor Ara's experiences shed light on the global realities of persecution, the resilience of faith in Jesus, and the call for the church to embody justice, mercy, and compassion in the face of injustice. Join the conversation as we examine how the teachings of Jesus intersect with real-world struggles and what it means to stand in solidarity with persecuted communities.  Key Topics: Pastor Ara's background and journey to the U.S. The realities of seeking asylum and the legal hurdles involved The role of faith and community in navigating these challenges A call for compassion and reform in immigration policies Guest: Pastor Ara Tarosian, Cornerstone West LA Call to Action: Listen, reflect, and share this episode to raise awareness about the human stories behind immigration and asylum.

The first one hundred days of the second Donald Trump presidency saw an unprecedented campaign to dismantle institutional norms and accelerate structural transformation, evoking the spirit of the earliest days of American settler colonialism. Each executive order, policy decision and rhetorical outburst worked to normalize a vision rooted in theocracy, white nationalist fascism, and xenophobic fervor—aimed particularly at white fear of immigrants and non-white communities and the delusion of narrow, absurdist “community norms.” Yet, amid this full-spectrum assault on democratic institutions and the possibilities of social cohesion, the judiciary, select institutional actors, and a rapidly mobilizing popular resistance have begun to push back with increasing acuity, challenging the fragile aura of inevitability that such authoritarian posturing seeks to imagine. Meanwhile, within broader Black Governance imaginaries, a different narrative is forming—one epitomized by the Cultural Meaning-Making phenomenon of the movie “Sinners.” This narrative, increasingly disabused of the notion of a cohesive US people, reframes the moment of precarity in the US Social Structure by reconciling the country's latest crisis of confrontation with its white nativist core with deeper Africana Movement and Memory. In doing so, the reinforcement of Africana Ways of Knowing affirms a critical truth: That information alone does not empower—it is the shaping of that information through collective Movement and Memory that gives rise to communal agency and social, political and economic resistance. The convergence of systemic assault and cultural response poses a vital question: what does it mean to remember—and to move—deliberately through time and space, fueled by ancestral memory and purposeful action?JOIN KNARRATIVE: https://www.knarrative.com it's the only way to get into #Knubia, where these classes areheld live with a live chat.To shop Go to:TheGlobalMajorityMore from us:Knarrative Twitter: https://twitter.com/knarrative_Knarrative Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/knarrative/In Class with Carr Twitter: https://twitter.com/inclasswithcarrSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
