In this episode Mary Sullivan, co-founder of Sweet but Fearless, talks with Caroline Stokes, leadership strategist, Fifth Industrial Revolution, for a grounded conversation about intentional learning, emotional intelligence, and navigating change at work with clarity. They explore how emotional intelligence can quietly influence your career, both positively and negatively, especially during moments of uncertainty or transition. Caroline introduces the four common responses to workplace shifts: flight, freeze, fight, and fawn, and explains why understanding your default reaction is key to moving forward with intention instead of operating on autopilot. Once you know where you are, you can begin to choose a mindset that supports growth rather than stress or stagnation. The conversation also dives into thinking ahead in your career, learning with purpose, and handling disruption without losing momentum. Drawing from her books Elephants Before Unicorns and Aftershock, Caroline shares practical insights for leaders who want to respond thoughtfully to change instead of reacting out of fear. This episode is for anyone facing shifts at work and looking to lead themselves, and their careers, with greater awareness and intention. A Sony alum who contributed to the launch of PlayStation, and a PCC-level, EQ 2.0–certified coach, Caroline has evolved from executive headhunter to one of the few global authorities on psychological and strategic leadership reinvention.   ABOUT CAROLINE STOKES, CEC: Website - The Forward Co LinkedIn - Caroline Stokes, CEC Books:Elephants Before Unicorns: Emotionally Intellignet HR Strategies to Save Your Company Aftershock to 2030: A CEO's Guide to Reinvention in the Age of AI, Climate, and Societal Collapse   ABOUT SWEET BUT FEARLESS: Website - Sweet but Fearless LinkedIn - Sweet but Fearless

Normally, a person who hears Kaddish or Nakdishach may respond even if he hears from a distance, and is not present with the Minyan. There are, however, exceptions to this rule. The Shulhan Aruch writes that a person standing outside a synagogue may respond to Kaddish or Nakdishach, but then adds that according to some opinions, this is not allowed if there is "Tinuf" (filth, such as a trash can), or a non-Jew, in between him and the congregation. At first glance, it appears that the Shulhan Aruch here cites two different opinions, and according to the first opinion, one may respond even if there is "Tinuf" or a non-Jew in between him and the Minyan. If so, then we follow the general rule that the Shulhan Aruch accepts the first opinion when he brings two different views, and thus one may may respond regardless of what is between him and the congregation. Hacham Ovadia Yosef, however, understands the Shulhan Aruch as clarifying his initial statement, and not as citing a dissenting view. Therefore, one may not, in fact, respond to Kaddish or Nakdishach if there is either "Tinuf" or a gentile in between him and the Minyan. The word used by the Shulhan Aruch in this context is "Akum," an acrostic that refers either to an idol – "Avodat Kochabim U'mazalot" – or to an idolater – "Obed Kochabim U'mazalot." The Magen Abraham (Rav Avraham Gombiner, Poland, 1635-1682) understood that the acrostic "Akum" in this context refers to an idol, and not to a gentile. According to this reading, a non-Jew does not interrupt between a Minyan and a person listening from a distance, and he may respond. However, Hacham Ovadia notes that in earlier editions of the Shulhan Aruch, the word used in this passage was not "Akum," but rather "Goy." It is clear that the word was changed as a result of censorship, as Jewish communities needed to avoid giving the impression of looking disdainfully upon their non-Jewish neighbors, and so texts that might be misunderstood as such were occasionally emended. Hence, the Magen Abraham's reading is incorrect, and even the presence of a non-Jew in between a person and the Minyan creates an interruption, preventing him from responding. Since the Shulhan Aruch used the word "Goy" – "gentile" – and not "Obed Kochabim" – "idolater," this Halacha applies to all gentiles, even to those who do not worship idols. The Rambam famously ruled that Muslims are not considered idol-worshippers, since they believe in a single Deity who created the world. For the purposes of this Halacha, however, the non-Jew's religious beliefs are irrelevant, and his presence is considered an obstruction regarding the ability to respond to Kaddish and Nakdishach. The Magen Abraham and Mishna Berura asserted that the Rama (Rav Moshe Isserles, Cracow, 1530-1572) disputed this entire Halacha, and maintained that the presence of filth or of a gentile does not affect the ability to respond to Kaddish or Nakdishach. Nevertheless, Sephardic practice follows the Shulhan Aruch's ruling. It must be noted that this entire discussion refers to the case of a person who is not inside together with the Minyan, and there is a gentile in between him and the Minyan. In such a case, the presence of the Shechina needs to extend from the Minyan to the person standing at a distance, and this extension can be obstructed. A gentile's presence inside the Minyan, however, has no effect whatsoever. If, for example, a political figure is visiting the synagogue, or a congregant has a non-Jewish aide helping him in the synagogue, it is certainly permissible for everyone to respond to all the prayers, even if the non-Jew stands in between a person and the Hazzan. Although there is an opinion among the Poskim that is stringent in this regard, the consensus follows the lenient position. One example where this problem arises was noted by the Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909), who describes how it was common in Baghdad for merchants to display their wares in the hallways of synagogues. If a person was in the hallway of such a synagogue, he needed to ensure that the non-Jewish merchant was not standing in between him and the sanctuary. Another situation where this could arise is an airport. If ten men find an area to pray, and someone joins their Minyan from a distance, he may not answer unless he ensures that no gentiles come in between him and the Minyan. This could arise also when a person hosts a catered event in his home, and a Minyan is formed in the living room. If someone wishes to participate in the Minyan from the kitchen, he must ensure that non-Jewish workers are not standing in between him and the Minyan. Some Poskim place a very significant limitation on this entire Halacha, maintaining that it applies only if the person can see the "Tinuf" or the non-Jew in between him and the Minyan. But if, for example, a person lives near a synagogue, and he hears the prayers through the window, then he may respond even if there is "Tinuf" or a gentile in between. This is the view taken by the Gaon of Vilna (1720-1797) and by Rav Shlomo Zurafa (Algeria, 1785-1859). Although others seem to disagree with this ruling, it is accepted as Halacha by Hacham Ovadia Yosef, in Yehaveh Da'at, and by his son, Hacham David Yosef, in Halacha Berura. This Halacha becomes relevant in the case of a person who hears a live broadcast of a prayer service. Some congregations arrange a livestream of the Tefila for the benefit of those who are unable to attend due to health reasons, or for those in remote areas without a Minyan. The accepted Halacha is that although one cannot fulfill his obligation to recite a text – such as the reading of Megilat Ester on Purim – by listening via telephone or some other communication system, one can respond to Berachot, Kaddish and Nakdishach if he hears the recitation through a live broadcast. Quite obviously, there is "Tinuf" and gentiles in between the individual listening to a broadcast and the synagogue miles away where the prayers are being recited. Nevertheless, Hacham Ovadia ruled that one may respond, in light of the aforementioned ruling that everything in between may be disregarded if it cannot be seen. A Minyan may be formed even though non-Jews live in the same building, above the Minyan. Hacham Ovadia writes that there is no source whatsoever for the notion that the presence of gentiles above a Minyan obstructs the prayers from ascending to the heavens. Therefore, it is entirely permissible to pray on a ground floor even though gentiles are present above the Minyan. Summary: If a person hears Kaddish or Nakdishach from outside the area where the Minyan takes place, he may respond, unless there is "Tinuf" (filth) or a non-Jew in between him and the Minyan. If, however, the "Tinuf" or the gentile cannot be seen – such as if a person hears a Minyan from a window in his home – then he may respond. Therefore, a person who hears a Minyan via livestream may respond. A gentile's presence in the synagogue, or in the area where the Minyan is held, has no effect, and everyone in the room may respond.

Reaching and responding is the core interaction that helps couples move out of stuck, negative cycles and back toward connection. A reach is an imperfect, vulnerable sharing from the heart, and a response is a soft, attuned way of catching that vulnerability with empathy and curiosity. When couples practice this repeatedly—especially during repair after conflict—they create safety, deepen understanding, and strengthen secure attachment over time.

In today's Daily Shift, we explore the pressure to react quickly — to respond, explain, or have an opinion before you've had time to check in with yourself. Urgency is often mistaken for responsibility, but responding immediately isn't the same as responding intentionally. This episode offers permission to pause, allowing your nervous system the time it needs to register what's happening before choosing how to engage. Pausing isn't avoidance or indifference — it's a form of care that supports clarity, regulation, and grounded communication. In this episode, we explore: Why urgency can override self-awareness The difference between reacting and responding How pausing supports nervous system regulation Choosing clarity over pressure A gentle reminder from today's shift: You don't owe immediate responses Pausing is a form of care Clarity comes from slowing the moment down Take a breath and allow yourself the space to respond with intention.

What if students' “attention problems” were really a mismatch between how the brain works and how we structure learning?In this episode of Aspire to Lead, Joshua Stamper talks with first grade teacher, cognitive science scholar, and author Sarah Oberle about what executive functions actually are, core and higher order cognitive processes like working memory, inhibition, and cognitive flexibility, and why they are so often misunderstood as behaviors in schools.​Sarah describes how explosive development in these skills during the K–3 years should shape our pedagogy, from how we orient attention and chunk directions to how we design routines, structure independent work, and set up the physical and acoustic environment so students can think instead of just “look busy”. Drawing from her upcoming book with Mitch Weathers, she shares concrete classroom moves—mini check ins, EF informed routines, visual and sound management, and tools like dividers and voice recorders—that any teacher can use to promote self regulation and learning without adding another program to their plate.About Sarah Oberle Sarah Oberle is an educator, writer, and professional learning designer with 18 years of experience as a primary classroom teacher. Her work centers on helping educators understand how learning happens and how that understanding shapes daily instructional decisions. Beyond the classroom, Sarah designs and facilitates evidence-informed professional learning for teachers and school leaders, both in person and virtually. She works with national and international organizations to ensure professional learning is research-informed, practical, and responsive to the realities of teaching. Her work focuses on attention, memory, and executive functions, with an emphasis on pedagogy rather than programs.

Clint Stoerner & Ron "The Show" Hughley talk the weather as the freeze is starting to roll in, and Ron can't get used to how we Southerners respond to freezes.

When your divorce is dragging because the other side won't respond, it can feel like psychological warfare—especially when kids and money are on the line. In this episode, Morgan Stogsdill and Andrea Rappaport break down what's actually happening when a divorce case stalls, how to tell the difference between normal delays and strategic stalling, and what to do next.You'll learn the practical legal steps attorneys use to create structure—like mediation deadlines, motions to compel, subpoenas, depositions, and discovery strategies—plus the mindset shifts that keep you from spiraling and spending thousands of dollars reacting emotionally. Bottom line: when the time is right, get aggressive—because talk is cheap.Stalling is one of the most common (and most infuriating) divorce experiences, and it happens for a few big reasons:They don't have their shit together (missing documents, incomplete financials, no affidavit, disorganized life)They think you'll panic and settle cheap just to end the painIt's a power play (silence = control, especially with high-conflict people)Their attorney is overwhelmed, under-resourced, or occasionally strategic (timing money events like bonuses, etc.)The good news: stalling isn't a dead end. It's a problem that can be solved with structure, strategy, and sometimes court pressure.The First Question to Ask Your LawyerBefore you go scorched earth, ask this exact question:“Is this delay normal… or is this strategic stalling?”Morgan explains that a good attorney can often tell you:whether the other lawyer is just chronically slow/unorganized, orwhether the other side is intentionally dragging things out to wear you down.These two scenarios require totally different responses.What Judges Respond To: Structure + DeadlinesStalled cases usually move when there's something real on the calendar:court datesmotion hearingstrial datesmediations with firm deadlinesMorgan's most practical advice:If nothing is moving, push for a trial date. Even if the first date doesn't “stick,” a real end date creates pressure—and pressure creates movement.Action Steps: What You Can Do When the Other Side Won't Respond1) Stop guessing. Get clarity.Tell your attorney you're frustrated and ask:Is this normal?What's the standard timeline in this jurisdiction?What steps do we take in order if they don't comply?At what point do we file something?This helps you avoid spending money “going aggressive” too early… only for the judge to give them another two...

The apostle Paul wrote extensively about salvation and the Christian life. He firmly teaches that we are saved by God's grace through Jesus Christ's death and resurrection. He also teaches how believers ought to behave. Join us as we study Paul's teachings in his letter to early Christians. Together, we'll see how his message clarifies how we walk in step with the Holy Spirit, growing in Christlikeness, as we keep Christ's work on the cross at the center of salvation through Grace alone. 

If you grew up having to figure everything out on your own…it's not surprising that you respond with irritation, judgment, or a sharp tone when your partner, kids, or family ask you for help.It's not that you're mean — it's that you were never nurtured.The neglect wound teaches self-reliance out of survival, not confidence.So as adults, we assume everyone else should “just know.”But that expectation isn't fair — and it keeps the cycle alive.This episode breaks down:

Sin embargo, ni uno de ellos caerá a tierra sin que lo permita el Padre. [...] Asi que no tengan miedo, ustedes valen más que muchos gorriones (Mateo 10:29, 31).Un sábado por la mañana, mientras estacionaba el auto cerca de la iglesia, me detuve junto a una bicicleta que estaba atada a un carrito, y vi a un recolector de basura. Me quedé observando a ese señor. Concentrado, amontonaba latitas en la bolsa plástica. Sobre la bicicleta vieja, había una lona de polietileno azul bien doblada, un bolso, el carrito, sus pertenencias, los reciclables recogidos: todo estaba bien acomodado.No suelo llevar dinero en mi billetera, pero, por casualidad, tenía un billete de cincuenta reales. Bajé del auto, saludé al señor y le ofrecí el dinero. Sorprendido, tomó el billete, agradeció y dijo: "¡Usted me bendijo hoyl Justo estaba pensando en cómo seguiría con esta bicicleta. Venga aquí para ver". Uno de los caños de la bicicleta se había soltado. El dinero sería para el arreglo.Él me explicó: "Mis cosas están ahí. Tengo hermanos que viven por aquí, pero vivo solito. Ya estuve internado en el hospital. A veces, tengo qué comer; a veces, no. Estoy en situación de calle. A la noche, encuentro un rincón, extiendo mi carpa y duermo allí".Le ofrecí un colchón, y él dijo que estaba acostumbrado a dormir en el suelo duro y un colchón dificultaría su traslado. Y me sorprendió: "Mi vida es así. Pero si usted me pregunta si soy feliz, lo soy. Tengo una Biblia allí adentro", y señaló a sus cosas. Yo sostenía mi Biblia en la mano, y él preguntó: "Eso que usted tiene ahí es una Biblia, ¿verdad?". Respondí que sí. "Yo leo la Biblia todos los días. ¿Usted ya leyó Mateo 10:29 al 31?". Y, después de recitar el versículo de esta meditación, dijo: "Dios cuida de mí. Aunque sufra y viva así, estoy seguro de que le importo y tiene algún plan para mí".Lo invité a entrar, pero tenía trabajo que cumplir esa mañana, y otro día regresaría. No lo vi más, pero guardé para siempre su sermón. Aunque revisaba tachos de basura, pasaba hambre, vivía sin techo y afecto humano, tenía la certeza de la presencia y del cuidado de Dios.¿Estás pasando por alguna situación difícil? Recuerda el sermón bíblico repetido por ese sabio recolector de basura: tú vales más que los gorriones y eres el mayor blanco del cuidado divino.

Segment 1 • Cities Church in Minnesota was invaded mid-service by protesters. Are you ready if it happens to your church? • Government is called to protect, but when it doesn't, the church must be prepared to respond wisely. • Are public disruptions and protests legal in sanctuaries? Here's what Christians need to know. Segment 2 • Inside info from Cities Church: they avoided escalating tension, showing restraint. • Yes, your church has legal protection under the FACE Act. • Should pastors confront protesters directly? Segment 3 • Document the disruption, but avoid emotional confrontation. • Have a plan: ushers, kids' ministry, security—every team should know exactly what to do. • Parents must be in the loop so that no one is confused if the occasion comes. Segment 4: The Blessing and Cost of Persecution • 1 Peter reminds us that persecution isn't a curse—it's a blessing and calling. • Persecution, though painful, draws us closer to Christ as we see the suffering he underwent for us. • Being hated for Christ's sake is a sign of God's favor. Prepare your heart to suffer well. ___ Thanks for listening! Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.

What do you do when the person across the table isn't just tough—but openly hostile? In this episode of Negotiate Anything, Kwame Christian welcomes back attorney and negotiation expert Jamie Lieberman, Esq. for a practical deep dive into managing hostile negotiators and navigating high-conflict conversations without losing your composure — or your leverage. Jamie breaks down why difficult negotiators trigger such strong emotional reactions, how to prepare for those moments before they happen, and the mindset shifts that allow you to stay calm while others escalate. Together, Kwame and Jamie explore how to build rapport when the other side seems unwilling, how to gather and use information strategically when facts alone aren't enough, and how to change the dynamic from adversarial to collaborative — even when the other party is interrupting, bullying, or refusing to engage productively. Packed with real-world legal examples and actionable tactics, this episode equips you to protect your interests, reclaim control, and negotiate with confidence under pressure. If you've ever dreaded a conversation because you knew the other person would be aggressive, dismissive, or impossible to deal with, this episode will change how you approach tough negotiations for good.

TAURUS:  The Karmic lord, Saturn will teach lessons, and may give you something or take it away. However, if you have been more giving and loving to others, Saturn may reward you with unexpected gifts... GEMINI:  Use the discipline of Saturn to plan your future.  Perhaps you have outgrown certain friends or associations, or there are lessons to learn that friends and groups will teach you... CANCER: Saturn will throw an aspect to your sun, called a square in Astrology which tends to be challenging.  For May, June, July & August 2025 and the for most of 2026, those born in the early part of Cancer, June 21- July 5 will be impacted and may have some challenges. Specifically those June Cancer's will feel the square from Saturn and Neptune both transiting Aries.  You could use this transit to recreate your career life if you have been unhappy in your job or chosen path.  Saturn will connect you to your true Dharma, or life purpose.   LEO: Journeys far and wide beckon you. There may be new trainings or educational pursuits or degrees to pursue, Saturn will give you the discipline to matriculate, undertake it and follow through.

Tune in to the very first Suite Spot episode of 2026 as special guest and Director of Product - Respond & Resolve™, Jackie Avery, features the Top 5 Guest Sentiment Tags of 2025 and what the key findings of these tags mean not only to hoteliers but the industry as a whole as we kick off travel in the new year. Ryan Embree: Welcome to Suite Spot, where hoteliers check in, and we check out what's trending in hotel marketing. I'm your host, Ryan Embree. Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of the Suite Spot. Happy New Year as your host. As always, Ryan Embree here with another one of our favorite annual traditions. A great way to start off and kick off the year here with Jackie Avery, Director of Product for our Respond and Resolve™ review response solution for hotels. Jackie, welcome back to the Suite Spot. Jackie Avery: Thanks. It's so great to be here. I look forward to doing this every year, so I'm happy we're back at it. Ryan Embree: Yes, again, it's an annual tradition. It's a benchmark for the beginning of the year. It's actually one of our most viewed and listened to episodes of the year, and I think it's because hoteliers really want to get a sense of what's going on over the course of the calendar year when it comes to reviews. To set this up off the top, we are looking at reputation, sentiment, data, the data within online guest reviews, that Travel Media Group actually pulls, and a lot of these reviews you and your team are responding to. Jackie Avery: Yeah. It's exciting. So if it's your first time here, welcome. And if you have been watching us the past few years, welcome back. We're excited to kind of talk through, some of the data that we kind of went through. So to put it under perspective, we're looking at information analyzed from over 45 million sentiment mentions. Ryan Embree: That's an incredible number. The popularity and importance of guest feedback and reputation right. Now, I know we talk a lot on this podcast about AI technology. We're always trying to see what's next, but there's no replacement for word of mouth. Right? And whether that's physically telling someone about your experience or sharing that, what we're talking about today, sharing that online with guest feedback and reviews, you can take away so much from that. And hoteliers, travelers obviously are looking at sentiment data, trying to figure out whether they should choose the one hotel versus another hotel. Hoteliers are looking at this data, digesting it, and trying to figure out how to improve on the guest experience. But what we're doing today is trying to find the top five sentiments. Talk about some themes. What does this mean when these types of sentiments are found in your guest feedback? Are there things you can make operationally changes? Is it training at the hotel? Is it capital investment? Sometime some of it, like location, which we're gonna talk about unavoidable, right? You can't just pick up your hotel and move it. So really interested to see the list. We always start from the bottom of the list and work our way up. So kick us off with number five. Jackie Avery: Yeah, absolutely. And like you said, it's so powerful to spend that moment reflecting. Yeah. Sometimes it's just taking the information and putting it into this bite sized way for you to process it. So hopefully everyone finds it pretty easy to kinda, you know, come along this journey with us. So, number five, it had over 3 million sentiment mentions, right? So that's a lot of people talking about it. And we're talking about facility amenities. Now, some people are listening and they're going, well, I don't have a pool, so of course I, that didn't get a mention for me, or, I do have a pool. Of course they mentioned that, but stay with me on that. That's actually its own category. So here we are talking about the lobby, the hallways, seating areas, elevators, luggage carts, right? So now think about,

Reaction to City Club forum with Center for Christian Virtue The Center for Christian Virtue began as an anti-pornography group more than 40 years, but has since become what the Cincinnati Enquirer recently called a "policy powerhouse" in the state, influencing hundreds of bills, from expanding Ohio's EdChoice voucher system to banning transgender students from using bathrooms that align with their gender identity. The Center's President Aaron Baer spoke at The City Club of Cleveland Friday, amid protestors on the street, and following an open letter from members of the LGBTQ community and nonprofit leaders who pointed out the group's designation as an anti-LGBTQ hate group in 2023 by the Southern Poverty Law Center. City Club CEO Dan Moulthrop said the group's major influence in shaping state laws is why he invited Baer to speak. On Thursday's "Sound of Ideas," we're going to spend time talking about this organization and its impact in the state, and discuss the reaction to Baer's invitation and speech. Guests: - Jessie Balmert, State Government Reporter, Cincinnati Enquirer - Greg Lawson, Senior Research Fellow, The Buckeye Institute - Maria Bruno, Executive Director, Ohioans Against Extremism - Tom Sutton, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Political Science, formerly at Baldwin Wallace University

Real talk.If staying disciplined has ever meant running yourself into the ground, shaming yourself into productivity, or pushing past your own limits just to stay “consistent”… that was never discipline. That was survival mode trying to sound supportive.We're redefining discipline for women who want consistency without burnout. We're talking calm execution over forced hustle, nervous-system-safe discipline, and what it actually looks like to keep promises to yourself without betraying who you are.This conversation is for the woman who's done proving, done pushing, and ready to move in alignment with the season she's in. You don't need more pressure — you need a steadier way to show up.WHAT WE GET INTO✨ Burnout has patterns. You already know what it looks like when it's brewing — the work is noticing it sooner.

Concern about the possibility of a Chinese attack against Taiwan has surged in recent years. Wargames and research studies have focused primarily on identifying gaps in US and allied capabilities with the goal of strengthening deterrence. A relatively understudied question, however, is the potential consequences for China if a military operation against Taiwan were to fail. To address this gap, the German Marshall Fund led a study of the possible costs that China would incur across four different, but interrelated areas: the Chinese economy, the military, Chinese social stability, and international costs.GMF commissioned four papers on these key areas. We considered two scenarios that could realistically take place in the next five years. In the first scenario, a minor skirmish escalated into a multi-week maritime blockade of Taiwan by China. Although several dozen members of the Chinese and Taiwanese military were killed, US intervention eventually forced China to de-escalate.  In the second scenario, a conflict escalated into a full-fledged invasion, with Chinese strikes on not only Taiwan but also U.S. forces in Japan and Guam. After several months of heavy fighting, Chinese forces were degraded and eventually withdrew after suffering many tens of thousands of casualties.The authors found that the costs to China of a failed military action against Taiwan would likely be considerable. We believe their findings are important and warrant wide dissemination. In this podcast, we'll discuss the report's major conclusions and implications. Then we'll talk about the potential impact of a failed Chinese attempt to take Taiwan on China's military capabilities and the possible international costs that Beijing could face.  Our next two China Global podcasts will examine the implications of a failed military operation against Taiwan for China's economy and social stability.Our guests today are Zack Cooper and Joel Wuthnow. Zack is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and lecturer at Princeton University.  Joel is a senior research fellow in the Center for the Study of Chinese Military Affairs within the Institute for National Strategic Studies at NDU. Joel's paper and this interview reflect only his personal views and not those of the National Defense University, the Department of War, or the US government.Timestamps: [00:00] Introduction  [03:22] Implications for China, the United States, and Taiwan [06:31] Actions to Strengthen Deterrence  [08:50] Evaluating Costs and Risks for Chinese Decisionmakers[11:46] Lessons Learned for the PLA [14:05] Steps to Avoid Another Attack [17:14] Intensifying Frictions between Party and Military?  [19:53] Anticipating US Intervention as a Military Variable [22:49] Countries and Organizations Likely to Respond to China[25:55] Potential Diplomatic Actions and Costs[31:50] A Treaty Alliance with Taiwan [34:44] Why International Costs Matter to China

Peter Rosenberger addresses the disruption of a Sunday worship service in Minneapolis and what it signals about the cultural moment facing the church. Through listener calls and Scripture, the conversation explores how believers should respond to hostility, fear, and uncertainty balancing preparedness with faith. Peter points listeners to the unshakable nature of God's kingdom, emphasizing rest in Christ rather than reactionary fear.

If you've ever watched your child's mood shift the moment they step into a handoff…Or felt the sting of being kept at arm's length for reasons you can't explain… You're not imagining it. In blended families, kids often carry emotional burdens they were never meant to hold.In this episode, we name two of the most common “under-the-surface” struggles: loyalty binds (when a child feels torn between a bio parent and a stepparent) and parental allegiance (when a child feels pressure to align with one parent over the other). We share real-life stories, including the quiet pain behind the rejection of a stepparent's sweet gesture, and the way a joyful moment can suddenly collapse into guilt after a call with the other parent.But we don't stop at awareness. We give you a plan. We'll help you slow down, step into your child's shoes, and create emotional safety. We'll help step-parents stay hopeful and keep expectations realistic. And we'll challenge bio parents to protect their kids from adult tension by choosing the neutral zone (where curiosity lowers the temperature and kids are freed to love without feeling responsible for anyone's emotions).The win isn't perfect co-parenting or flawless moments.  It's this: kids get out of the middle, pressure starts to lift, and your home has room for trust, connection, and peace to grow. You'll Discover:The difference between a loyalty bind and parental allegiance, and how each one shows up in real life. How emotion coaching helps your child process hard feelings without forcing apologies or rushing an unrealistic "fix".  What step-parents can do to cope with rejection (and why “crockpot bonding” protects your heart and builds trust over time). The subtle ways parents accidentally tighten the bind and what to say/do instead to keep kids free to love everyone in both homes. How to find and stay in the neutral zone when insecurity, fear, jealousy, or discomfort hits.  Resources from this Episode:Surviving and Thriving in Stepfamily Relationships by Patricia PapernowEpisode 222.  Step-by-Step Guide:  Facing Painful Pushback Without Making Things Worse (part 1 of 2)Episode 72.

They explore how people respond to internal and external expectations and the resulting personality profiles: Upholder, Questioner, Obliger, and Rebel.
