We discuss Aaron's new book, Life in the Negative World. We walk through his taxonomy of positive, neutral, and negative world. Then, we speak about the role of the Church in an age antagonistic to the Gospel and how Christians can respond to our present discourse.

Anyone can tell you how the world has changed, but no one can predict what exactly the future holds. Host Joseph Backholm is joined by Aaron Renn author of Life in a Negative World: Confronting Challenges in an Anti-Christian Culture. In his book, Aaron unpacks the changes in society's perspective and acceptance of Christianity. He catalogs three periods of decline: the positive, the neutral, and the negative world. He also analyses how three different types of evangelicals have responded and will respond to the changes in culture. There is no set guideline on how to navigate this negative world but listen now on what can be done and how you can live according to the truths of scripture.

In exploring the topic of love, this week's episode outlines the roadmap for which we have been made to embody love both by receiving and giving love with our whole self: heart, mind, soul, and strength (Luke 10:24-28). Today's question is: How do we love? If God made us as souls, with capacity, empathy, and reason, we have to break down each of these elements to better understand and experience the power of love. We will also look at the parable of the sower and seed as a framework for connecting our mind, heart, strength, and soul. This practical exercise of recognizing how we can access love in all domains of our personhood, is the foundation for experiencing and living out of God's love.  Resources:  Life of the Beloved by Henri Nouwen  Prayers of Kierkegaard - He Loved us First  Emotionally Healthy Spirituality by Pete Scazzero  Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Every time you spend money you are making an investment. It's either a good investment or a bad investment. Do not buy into the idea that investments have to be something rare, exclusive, elusive, exciting or in a land far away.  Some of the best investments are right in front of you, if you can't see them it's because you look at everything the way most everyone else does.

To kick off 2024, I return to our theme embodied and explore the origin of our belovedness found in Luke 11:24-28. This episode outlines the first of three questions that need to be answered to understand the love of God and how we are to embody such love. If we are called to love God and love others, it has to begin with our belovedness. This episode discussed God's emphasis on relational connection, motivated by love and founded on God's nature that moves towards His children first and unceasingly. With this theology of love, we discuss our response to God's invitation to be loved by him with the story of the prodigal son.  RESOURCES:  Life of the Beloved by Henri Nouwen  Prayers of Kierkegaard - He Loved Us First  The Return of The Prodigal Son by Henri Nouwen ASK CARLEY!Do you have a question or topic you want to be discussed on a future Q+A episode?

The savings rate in the US has been going up a bit recently but it's still lower than what it should be. Generally speaking, people aren't saving enough money to have financial peace of mind.

Becoming your own banker, the infinite banking concept, bank on yourself and other financial concepts promote the idea of using the life benefits of life insurance. Many people think life insurance is for when you die, that's true, but you can also use life insurance while you're still alive. There are benefits to using life insurance as a financial tool that you cannot get with any other financial products. But the problem is there is good life insurance and bad life insurance and too many people who want good life insurance wind up getting bad life insurance. We talk about good life insurance, bad life insurance and how to get a good life insurance policy with cash value so that you can be your own banker.

Today's episode is part three of a series The Story of Our Bodies. We are looking at the process of befriending and blessing the brokenness that cannot be denied. We discuss the danger of black-and-white perspectives of spirituality which do not account for the complexity and coexistence held within our stories. With the help of Henri Nouwen's wisdom, we will walk through the practices of befriending pain and placing the whole story back under the blessing. Finally, we discuss simple exercises for increasing embodied living that reclaim our belovedness. As Henri Nouwen so beautifully puts it, “We are chosen, blessed, broken, so that we may be given.”  Resources:  Life of the Beloved by Henri Nouwen  To Be Told by Dr. Dan Allender  Theology of the Body - Jean-Claude Larchet Reclaiming the Body in Christian Spirituality —Thomas Ryan Scripture to Read This Week:  John 8:1-11; John 5:1-15; Luke 8:43-48 ASK CARLEY!Do you have a question or topic you want to be discussed on a future Q+A episode?

We all have a few traumas and disasters in our past that still impact the way we think and make decisions today, both consciously or unconsciously. For Allan, he went through a rollercoaster that took him from rock bottom to the top, and back again. This is when he learned that success is not measured by money or power, but by more important things in life.Allan's life is a great example of how living with a purpose will always trump riches. Allan experienced how it felt to have nothing. He has also known how it feels to have almost everything money can buy. What he discovered was that without a true purpose, he couldn't consider himself truly successful. In this episode, Allan talks about the real value of success and how the challenges in life could turn out to be just the thing we need to find the real path to our success. “God used the challenges to get me to reevaluate just what I'm doing and why I'm doing it and what is really important in life.” - Allan BlainIn This Episode:Allan shares how losses led him away from the life God wanted him to live Learn about the turning point that prompted Allan to reevaluate and turn his life aroundFind out how Allan defines real successUnderstand why dwelling on the past can get in the way of being a good parentLearn about the impact of listening to your kids first instead of wanting to give advice all the timeHave a better understanding of what legacy might mean to you...and more!Resources:Life's Hard, Succeed AnywayConnect with Allan Blain:WebsiteFacebook InstagramLinkedIn TikTok YouTube TwitterConnect with Cam Hall:WebsiteFacebookInstagramTwitterLinkedInYouTubeEmail - cam@dmdpodcast.comWant to join a holistic group coaching call with Cam? - Send him a message on Instagram @fightthedadbods

In honor of International Women's Day, we are re-airing our interview with Dr. Averil Mansfield, Pioneering Vascular Surgeon and the UK's first female professor of surgery. She recently published her autobiography, Life in Her Hands. From a young age, Averil Mansfield wanted to become a doctor. But it was the early 1950s, and women were not expected to pursue a career in medicine. Against all expectations, Dr. Mansfield forged ahead and became a Vascular surgeon in the UK. In addition to her illustrious career, she has worked to support and encourage other women to enter the field of surgery. Dr. Mansfield was voted one of "100 Women Who Have Changed the World" and founded Women in Surgery, a Royal College of Surgeons initiative to encourage more women to enter the field.   Links and Resources: Life in Her Hands: The Inspiring Story of a Pioneering Female Surgeon About our Guest: Dr. Averil Mansfield is a retired Vascular Surgeon. She was born into a working-class family and was educated at her local primary and grammar schools in Blackpool and then at Liverpool University graduating M.B.Ch.B in 1960. She plays the piano and music has been a prominent feature throughout her life. She learned to play the cello in retirement. After graduation, she trained in surgery in Liverpool and in addition spent two years in the USA. At the age of 34 she became a consultant general surgeon first in Liverpool and later moved to London. In London she practiced as a vascular surgeon and later [1993] became Professor of Vascular Surgery at Imperial College and Director of the Academic Surgical Unit at St Mary's Hospital. She was the first woman in the UK to become a professor of surgery and to head up an academic surgical unit. Her research interests centered on thrombosis and on arterial diseases along with their surgical treatment.  Teaching and passing on skills have always been her passion and she hopes to inspire the next generation to achieve to the maximum of their capabilities. She has been President of The Association of Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland [the first woman], President of The Vascular Surgical Society [the first woman], and the section of Surgery of the RSM. She was Vice President of the Royal College of Surgeons of England and chaired a number of its boards and the Court of Examiners and in 2009 became President of the BMA. She was recently a member of the working party looking at Diversity in Surgery under the chairmanship of Baroness Helena Kennedy. In retirement, she chaired the Council of the Stroke Association, the Board of Science of the BMA, and two medical charities. Charitable commitments and ambassadorial roles eg for Liverpool University are a continuing and important feature of her life. In 2019 she was awarded the Aneurin Bevan Lifetime achievement award at the celebration to mark the 70th anniversary of the NHS. In 2020 she was a castaway on Desert Island Discs.

Welcome back to Enneagram IRL, the weekly podcast where we go beyond Enneagram theory and dive into practical understanding, new clarity, and fresh insight. We're talking about how each type is in REAL LIFE so you can remember – you're more than just a number. On this week's episode of Enneagram IRL, we meet with Jessica Denise Dickson, a life empowerment coach who believes that when Black women heal, the world heals. She believes that the path to personal and collective healing comes through embodying our Enneagram and liberation work. Jessica supports clients, through groups and one-on-one work, with the reclamation of our full humanity - healing work that leads us to equity, justice, and freedom. We discuss that when we do this work, we live more authentically with self-trust, self-safety, and fully-embodied freedom, and this echoes into our communities and changes the world. We explore Jessica's beautiful and powerful experience as an Enneagram Eight whose love for life, people, and justice is so evident and quite contagious! Follow Jessica on Instagram:@jessicaddickson & @jessicaddicksoncoaching Looking for our key takeaways?

So many think the world of finances and financial planning can feel too dull, too heavy, or too unnecessary. My guest Arwen Becker has a gift of making it come to life by looking at it from different perspectives. She went from playing Division 1 collegiate volleyball to becoming a Zoology graduate to changing the story around financial planning and making it sexy through her use of story and emotional connection. Has her industry left women out of the conversation too often? In this episode, Arwen tells us why finances don't have to be boring and shares how she learned the necessity of financial planning for yourself the hard way. We also talk about why women struggle with spending money in retirement and have different learning and nurturing styles than men that need to be considered. What you will learn in this episode: How stories affect your financial future If the long game really benefits your finances Why relying on your own discipline doesn't work Who is Arwen? Arwen Becker has always shown perseverance and given her best effort. Despite her short stature, she played Division 1 volleyball in college. Just a few short months after getting attacked by a cougar, she became a divorcée at age 24. With the end of her marriage, she sought a higher-paying job and after landing a position at a newly launched retirement firm, her career in financial planning took off. Over the years, Arwen has met thousands of women and realized there needed to be a focus on changing how women get treated within the financial industry. She created her training program in response, LIFE with Arwen. Through LIFE (Leaders Inspiring Female/Financial Empowerment), she helps financial advisors get a better handle on understanding how women learn differently, connecting through storytelling, and thriving with participation in women's events. Her organization also gives advisors the needed tools to succeed in their practice and brings national awareness to the issue of women's financial empowerment. Arwen has been co-owner of Becker Retirement Group with her husband Randy for over two decades. She's a national speaker, author, and podcast host and contributes to TD Ameritrade Network, Yahoo Finance, and many other publications.

This week on our debut episode I discuss Hyperspace with Dr Gaurav Khanna www.linkedin.com/in/gaurav-khanna a Professor in the Physics Department, and the Associate Director of the Center for Scientific Computing at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. He works on a variety of challenging problems in theoretical and computational physics. Dr Gaurav introduces me to hyperspace and blackholes and as a non-scientist (although learning everyday) I learn very quickly that in theory travel through a blackhole won't necessarily be dangerous at all. In fact science indicates the 'Yes' if you have a large enough blackhole and if it is spinning fast enough then travel through would be safe and that the main issue is what is on the other side of the singularity?

Kelly and Christina talk about the last one room school house in the north country, referenced in this Looking Backward entry from the Watertown Daily Times, that closed its doors in 1989. This island schoolhouse rang its last bell in 1989, but during its time, this small school educated an isolated group of children who called Grindstone Island their home. June 13, 1969: "Not only does Grindstone Island have a one-room school house, one of the few remaining in the country, but the teacher, Miss Grace LaMora, summons her 12 students to class by means of a bell. Grindstone Island School is part of the Thousand Islands Central School system and during the winter months children attend the Clayton school and board with relatives there."

Just how big a threat is the Equality Act to religious freedom? According to the Alliance Defending Freedom's Greg Baylor, it would pose the biggest threat to religious freedom in the  history of the American republic, placing the full force of the  federal government behind a terribly destructive gender ideology. Baylor shares his concerns today on the BreakPoint Podcast with Colson Center President John Stonestreet.   Resources Life, Marriage, and Religious Liberty: What Belongs to God, What Belongs to Caesar (Essays for the Tenth Anniversary of the Manhattan Declaration) John Stonestreet and David Dockery, editors, 2019   The Alliance Defending Freedom

John Stonestreet and Warren Smith discuss the dangers of the Equality Act, which would extend the federal level protections of Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act to include sexual orientation and gender identity. Meaning that these would now be on the same protected level as race and religion. As Warren and John observe, this would be a grave threat to religious freedom, as it would equate those who want to defend traditional sexual morality with the likes of the KKK and white supremacists. It's particularly alarming that the U. S. Chamber of Commerce is endorsing the act, which, as John says, could be a "game changer." Please, if you own a business, let the U.S. Chamber of Commerce know your objections. We have talking points for you in our resource section. John and Warren also discuss the recently passed hearbeat bill in Georgia, the plight of the Boy Scouts, and notable passings:  Warren Wiersbe, Jean Vanier, and Rachel Held Evans.   Resources Life, Marriage, and Religious Liberty: What Belongs to God, What Belongs to Caesar (Essays for the Tenth Anniversary of the Manhattan Declaration) John Stonestreet and David Dockery, editors, 2019   Tell the U.

In this episode: Borrowing belief when you need it Act like your future self now Putting in the reps Being willing to suck until you don’t I am so excited you are here today for this topic because I feel like it is just so relevant. Regardless of your stage of life, or tenure in your career path, if your an entrepreneur or not, we all have to constantly work on building belief in ourselves in order for us to do ANYTHING in life. & honestly the more I think about it- I am more afraid of NOT TRYING than I am of failing, mainly because I KNOW I will fail but also because underneath that is the constant striving that I have towards building up my own belief muscle. Today I wanted to dig into three main ways that you can start borrowing belief until you can BUILD your belief on your own. I hope you get some EPIC takeaways & I can’t wait to hear what you think! “It’s gonna take you time, but what’s the freakin alternative? You’re not gonna give up on your dreams. Not You. Not this time.” Quotes: “I’m more afraid of not trying, and living a life of shoulda woulda couldas, than I am of FAILING.” “We’re instead gonna ask questions like, how good can I get? How far can I go? How many people can I impact? How many minds can I blow, including my own?” “Are you willing to suck until you don’t suck anymore?” “It’s all about the confidence deposits that you put in your bucket along the way in pursuit of where you wanna go. It’s not about the end goal.” Resources: Life is RIGGED in YOUR FAVOR episode of EmpowerHER Check out ALL my favorite things on Amazon (trampolines, books, & more!)

There's a myth within the influencer community that sponsored content doesn't do as well as other content. Here's the thing though: that myth is really not true, as long as the sponsored content is done the right way. If you find that difficult to believe, it might be time for a fresh perspective and a change in approach. We feel strongly about sponsored content. Some items to consider if yours underperforms: The Biggest Myth About Sponsored Content Performance To tackle this topic, we turned to someone who consistently creates some of our favorite authentic sponsored content: Patrick Quinn from Life of Dad. Patrick was once a teacher and a freelance writer (covering, among other things, the weird and wonderful world of dart tournaments) before his brother-in-law started Life of Dad as a personal blog, and asked Patrick to join him as a contributor. Together they have transformed the site from a traditional blog into a platform and community for dads across the globe, as well as acting as an agency. If you've been struggling with keeping your sponsored content fun for your audience and beneficial to your sponsor, while remaining authentic to your voice, you are going to love this episode. We talk about: the importance of pushing back when negotiating sponsored campaigns, to ensure the content is tailored to your audience effectively positioning a product within a campaign without "selling out" how you can authentically sell a brand's messaging even if you don't necessarily use that product in everyday life some examples of great sponsored posts advice for newer bloggers who are just getting into sponsored content So how do you know if your sponsored campaign was actually beneficial? How to Measure the Success of Your Sponsored Campaigns We think this episode will get those gears turning and inspire some amazing new sponsored content for you! Enjoy.

Welcome! Today's guest is Ryan Hamilton, one of the co-founders of the “Life of Dad,” a social media network for dads. He is changing how dads are represented in the parenting arena and is helping moms be more effective at sharing parenting tools and tips with their male partners. Let's jump into conversation with Ryan! What you'll hear in this episode: Ryan has been a computer geek/tech guy all of his life; he now sees his son following in his footsteps in those interests. Ryan works full-time in the advertising industry, but runs his business on the sides for dads. Ryan shares how “Life of Dad” evolved from a heart-wrenching personal story of one of the co-founders. The purpose of “Life of Dad” is to enable a father to share his story via social media. Ryan became involved in the endeavor during a tumultuous time in his life, when he was going through a divorce, job loss, financial collapse, and depression. Ryan began blogging about the darker side of parenting. Ryan discusses how trends and parental role expectations have shifted as dads have pushed for change. Many new resources and dad communities are making change and allowing dads to have a voice. Co-parenting has changed in today's culture of divorce; Ryan shares how he and his ex-wife make it work for them. Ryan decided to make the journey to veganism about two years ago, when he was depressed and suicidal. He began with being vegetarian, but then transitioned on to veganism. The “cleaning up” of his diet branched out to affect all other areas of his life. Ryan's advice to other dads is to stay in touch, never feel alone, and reach out to your peer groups.
