Practical insights to help you communicate with more intention in everyday moments.What's the difference between reacting and responding? How do you move from memorizing your words to truly conversing in the moment? And how do you keep growing as a communicator in everyday moments?Communication isn't about having the perfect script. It's about staying present enough to respond with intention. In fast-moving conversations, emotions rise, thoughts race, and structure can disappear. Yet it's in the pause — the breath before we speak — that clarity begins.In this Ask Matt Anything episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Matt Abrahams shares highlights from a recent live AMA inside the Think Fast, Talk Smart Learning Community. Listener questions open the door to practical strategies for navigating emotional conversations, relying on structure rather than memorization, and building communication habits that actually stick. Because becoming a better communicator isn't about getting it perfect — it's about making small, intentional choices every day.Episode Reference Links:Think Fast Talk Smart Learning Community  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:31) - From Reacting to Responding (04:25) - Memorization vs. Spontaneous Speaking (09:35) - Growing Vocabulary (13:34) - Asking for Better Feedback (17:28) - Value of the Learning Community (21:51) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Strawberry.me.

Iran, Israel, and the end times? Allie breaks down the U.S. strikes against Iran — what happened, Trump's stated goals, and the competing conservative and progressive arguments over whether the operation is justified or truly “America First.” She then evaluates pacifism vs. just war from a Christian perspective as she responds directly to Pope Leo XIV's comments. Allie walks through major end-times views and how they interpret Iran and the Middle East and closes with analysis of a major Supreme Court ruling on school gender-transition secrecy policies and what it means for parental rights.

Did Jesus reject political power as inherently satanic? In this episode, Cory Wing, Tim Bushong, Matt Plett, and Mike D’Virgilio respond to comments from Rhett McLaughlin suggesting that Christians seeking political influence are embracing the temptation Satan offered Christ.Is that what the temptation narrative actually teaches? The hosts carefully examine the biblical text, its historical context, and the theological implications of Christ’s rejection of Satan’s offer. They argue that this popular interpretation misunderstands both the nature of Christ’s kingship and the legitimate role of political authority under God. From a robust, postmillennial perspective, they present:- Why Christ rejected Satan’s offer — and what that rejection really means - The difference between unlawful power and lawful authority - Why pietist and anabaptist instincts often distort this passage - The necessity of political power rightly ordered under Christ - A positive, hopeful vision for Christianity in public lifeThis isn’t about partisan politics. It’s about whether Jesus is Lord over all of life — including civil authority.

Episode 2924: Dr. Kathy McMahon explores why partners emotionally shut down during conflict and how this "flooding" response differs from manipulation or abuse. Drawing on Gottman's research, she explains the physiological overwhelm behind the behavior and offers practical tools, like structured time-outs and calming techniques, to help couples reconnect and de-escalate arguments. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.couplestherapyinc.com/stonewalling/ Quotes to ponder: "Evidence reveals that stonewalling happens when a partner feels overwhelmed, shuts down emotionally, and breaks eye contact." "When stonewalling is a manipulative or controlling strategy, seek help right away. When it is deliberate, it is a form of emotional abuse." "In other cases, stonewalling is a trauma response. Individuals who have suffered trauma in the past may respond by using stonewalling as a means of self-protection."

In this episode of Wake Up, Look Up, Pastor Zach examines whether the Bible supports breaking the law in the name of compassion, particularly in conversations around immigration. Responding to a recent opinion piece, he explores how Scripture holds both mercy and justice together–calling God's people to care for the foreigner while also upholding the rule of law. Pastor Zach challenges listeners not to cherry-pick verses to defend political views, but to wrestle honestly with the full counsel of God's Word.Have an article you'd like Pastor Zach to discuss?

There are those who have the practice to rise for Barechu, though this is not the generally accepted custom among Sepharadim. An exception is the recitation of Barechu on Friday night, when many Sepharadim are accustomed to standing, following the teachings of Kabbalah. Some have the custom to momentarily lift themselves off their seats when responding "Baruch Hashem Ha'meborach Le'olam Va'ed" to the Hazzan's declaration of Barechu. The Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909) writes in his Od Yosef Hai that this was the common practice in Baghdad. He adds, however, that there seems to be no basis for such a practice in the Halachic sources. Hacham Bension Abba Shaul (Israel, 1924-1998) opposed this custom, and ruled that one should simply remain seated without moving when responding to Barechu, without moving at all. He explained that it is improper to bow on occasions when there is no Halachic requirement to do so, as this undermines the significance of this gesture. Therefore, as there is no Halachic basis for bowing when responding to Barechu, this should not be done. Summary: Some have the custom to slightly lift their bodies off their seats when responding to Barechu, but some Poskim discourage this practice.

Responding to a question about fame, influence, and “sacrificing one's life to a cause,” Jogen explores the Buddhist teaching of the Eight Worldly Concerns: pleasure and displeasure, loss and gain, praise and blame, fame and infamy. He examines the deep human desire to be known, respected, and powerful, and the spiritual dangers hidden within recognition and status. Drawing on stories from Zen tradition and his own experience, he reflects on how practice invites us to stop being buffeted by these worldly winds and to act from integrity rather than optics. What would it mean to contribute fully, perhaps even to change history, without needing to be known for it? ★ Support this podcast ★

In this episode of the Covenant Eyes Podcast, hosts Karen Potter and Rob are joined by Laurie Krieg, Director of Parent Programs and Discipleship at the Center for Faith, Sexuality & Gender. Laurie shares from over a decade of ministry experience engaging conversations around human sexuality, parenting, and the gospel — all while raising three children of her own.Laurie opens up about her personal story, including wrestling with same-sex attraction and childhood sexual abuse, and explains how the gospel anchors her approach to parenting in today's complicated cultural landscape. Rather than leading with panic or fear, she encourages parents to begin with God's good design and build conversations from a place of confidence in Christ.Together, they explore how families can move beyond a theology of “no” toward a theology of “yes” — focusing on purpose, mission, and the beauty of God's created intent. This conversation offers practical language, real-life parenting examples, and hope for moms and dads who feel overwhelmed by cultural messages surrounding marriage, identity, and technology.Episode Topics Discussed• Laurie's personal story and ministry journey• Engaging conversations about sexuality with theological faithfulness and courageous love• Why the gospel must be the foundation for parenting• Shifting from panic-driven responses to purpose-driven discipleship• Teaching kids that their mission is to glorify God and advance His kingdom• Practical, age-appropriate ways to talk about marriage and God's design• Helping children respond with both truth and love• Navigating parental shame and personal brokenness• How churches and parents can use shared gospel language• Encouragement for overwhelmed parents facing cultural pressureResources MentionedRaising Wise Kids in a Sexually Broken World by Laurie Krieg- https://lauriekrieg.com/resources/raising-wise-kids/ Center for Faith, Sexuality & Gender- https://centerforfaith.com/ The Hole in My Heart Podcast (Laurie & Matt Krieg)- https://lauriekrieg.com/podcast/why-hole-in-my-heart/ Timestamps00:00 – Leading Through Weakness & Rejecting Shame00:18 – Welcome & Introduction to Laurie Krieg01:17 – Laurie's Story & Ministry Background03:30 – Anchoring Parenting in the Gospel05:02 – Responding to a Sexually Broken Culture10:05 – Technology, Cultural Narratives & Fortifying Children16:33 – Navigating Parental Shame & Personal Brokenness21:56 – Overview of the Book & Key Takeaways23:56 – How Churches Can Equip Parents27:33 – The Hole in My Heart Podcast29:41 – Final Encouragement for ParentsSend us your feedback!Try Covenant Eyes for FREE today!Use Promo Code: FreePodcast © 2024 Covenant Eyes, All Rights Reserved

Today Allie responds to CNN's new documentary on “Christian nationalism,” arguing that what's being labeled as dangerous extremism is often just historic, biblical Christianity applied to culture, law, and education. She also contrasts the Christian view of the imago Dei, where every person has innate worth, with practices like infanticide, abortion, and gendercide around the world. Allie responds to John Piper's tweet on immigration and gives a biblical perspective on the matter.

Steve Jobs once said, “Deciding what NOT to do is as important as deciding what TO do”, and that quote has been, and still is, a cornerstone of my whole time management and productivity philosophy.  Today, I answer a question about dealing with all the little things that pop up each day while staying focused on what is important.  Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin   The Ultimate Productivity Workshop  The Hybrid Productivity Course  Get Your Copy Of Your Time, Your Way: Time Well Managed, Life Well Lived The Working With… Weekly Newsletter Carl Pullein Learning Centre Carl's YouTube Channel Carl Pullein Coaching Programmes Subscribe to my Substack  The Working With… Podcast Previous episodes page   Script | 406 Hello, and welcome to the real episode 406 of the Your Time, Your Way Podcast. (Apologies for the incorrect numbering last week) A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  What happens when your productivity system collapses? Do you go looking for new apps, or do you give up and just think you're not the organised type or lack self-discipline?  People react in many different ways when their systems become backlogged and overwhelmed, yet this is a state that will happen to all of us from time to time.  Life has a bad habit of getting in the way. It throws up all sorts of problems to test us. No one week or even a day will ever be the same. Only five minutes ago, my plan to take Louis out for our walk at 2:00 pm was changed by my wife asking if we could go at 12:30. That way, I could pick her up from her dance class and then go to the reservoir for his walk.  And that was a small change.  These little things are hitting us every day and disrupting our systems, yet that doesn't mean our systems are broken. It just means we need to ensure that we have sufficient buffer and flexibility built in. This week's question is all about what to do when, for whatever reason, your system begins to collapse, and you have backlogs of work, emails, messages and commitments, and you have no idea how to regain control.  Now, before I hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice, just a heads up to say if you are considering joining next week's Ultimate Productivity Workshop, there are only seven days left before the first session.  The workbook will be going out next week, and I would love for you to join me. This is your opportunity to get to grips with the COD and Time Sector Systems, where you can ask questions and come away with not only the knowledge, but with a rock solid system that is flexible, automatic and leaves you with enough time for the things you want to do.  PLUS, you also get, for free, four of my courses to help you go deeper in your own time.  I will put the details in the show notes, and I hope to see you next Sunday.  Now, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question.  This week's question comes from Nick. Nick asks, “ Hi Carl, all my professional life I have tried to be organised and focused, but every time I feel I have found the solution, something happens either at work or at home that destroys my plans. How do you suggest someone go about dealing with disruptions all the time?  Great question, Nick, and thank you for sending it in.  Much of what causes us these issues has little to do with our systems. It's just life getting in the way.  Yet, what we are aiming to do is turn managing our time into a routine. Something we just do.  For instance, I would feel uncomfortable going to bed not knowing what my appointments and important tasks are for the next day. It doesn't take long—five minutes tops —but most days it's likely less than two minutes.  This is why I cannot get my head around it when people tell me they are too exhausted to plan the next day. It's no more than five minutes! You only need to know when and where your appointments are and what your one or two most important tasks are. It takes a minuscule amount of energy to do it.  Those two minutes have a profound effect on my day.  Last night, I went to bed knowing that I had six hours of meetings today and one critical task to do. I knew if I was diligent, I would be able to complete my meetings and that one task.  The fact that my wife has already changed my plan has not caused me to drop the task. My original plan to do it after my morning calls finished has changed. I will now do it when I get back from taking Louis for his walk.  What matters is that when I finish today, I can look back knowing I have what matters done.  This all begins with respecting the basics. Those basics are contained in COD. Collect, Organise and Do.  You need a way to collect everything that comes your way throughout the day. This needs to be something you trust. That could be a task manager or a daybook (a notebook you use to manage your day).  Then, at some point in the day, you process and organise what you collected. That could be the first thing in the morning or the last thing you do before you finish your workday. If you're doing it every day, you won't need a lot of time for this part of the process.  If you're inconsistent with it, you will need more time. This is why I suggested you turn these things into routines—things you just do every day. Like brushing your teeth when you wake up, or washing the dishes before you go to bed.  Finally, the daily planning, where you decide which tasks you must do that day and review your calendar for the next day's appointments. These steps give you a clear plan for doing the work.  The great thing is that none of these steps takes a lot of time. Perhaps the processing and organising will take about 10 minutes. However, I find that this step is calming. It allows me to ensure I am not trying to do too much or limiting my flexibility.  So, step one, Nick, is to make following the principles of COD a non-negotiable part of your day.  For those of you who have not discovered COD yet, I have a free 45-minute course that walks you through the process and shows you the tools and formulas to build this into your day. I will leave the link in the show notes. The next consideration is how you are organising your work.  There are some things that need to be done every day. Responding to your actionable messages (email, Slack, Teams, etc.) and any daily admin, for example. Salespeople often need to record their daily activities. Now you could do this once a week or do it daily. I find that doing it daily keeps the time required to a minimum.  Then there are your tasks. Now, some of these may need to be done today or before the end of the week. Others may not be quite as urgent, so you can push them out of sight until next week or even next month.  This is why I recommend you organise your task manager by when you will do something. Anything that needs to be done this week goes into a folder called “this week”. This means you are not being distracted by tasks that don't need to be done this week, and it helps to keep your task list to a minimum. This prevents your lists from becoming overwhelming.  The other good thing about this approach is that the 40% of the tasks you think you will need to do that never actually need to be done can be deleted during your weekly planning. (That's one of my favourite parts of doing the weekly planning) This is the essence of the Time Sector System. It's not about how much you have to do; we all have far more to do than the time available to do it. It's about when you will do it.  There are two sides to the time management equation. Time and stuff to do. The time side of the equation is fixed. You cannot change that. There are 24 hours a day and 168 hours a week, and that's it.  The only variable you have is stuff to do. That's what the Time Sector System focuses on. Getting you to decide what you will do and when.  I can now give you an update on my changing day.  When I started today, I had three meetings between 8:00 and 11:30 am.  It's now 10:30 am, as I write this, and my 8:00 am meeting went ahead as usual, but my 9:30 and 10:30 meetings have both cancelled.  When I planned my day yesterday, I accounted for all my meetings going ahead, and I would write this script before taking Louis for his walk. I would start the script between 8:00 am and 9:30 am, and then finish it after all my meetings ended.  I've been given 90 minutes back, so this script will be finished before I pick my wife up from her dance class. It also means I can work on an important project this afternoon, which I thought I wouldn't have much time for.  Some days you win, others you have to fight for. Today's a win. On the days you have to fight for it's important to stand your ground as much as you can. For example, had all my meetings gone ahead as expected today, I would still have had time this afternoon to write this script.  The consequences of not protecting time to write this script would be squeezing my day tomorrow, and I would likely have to work on Saturday just to catch up.  I've played that game too often in the past, and it's not worth it.  It would be tempting to blame my system, but ultimately, my decisions would have caused the problem.  So, as you can see, Nick, life will always get in the way. You can only work with the information in front of you.  But if you are consistent with your daily and weekly planning, you are putting yourself in a position to be clear about what matters each day.  Yet, your daily and weekly planning only works if you are collecting everything that needs to be collected. Appointments are on your calendar, and tasks are in a task manager. That way, you will have all the information you need to plan your days so that the important things get done, and the lower-value ones can be eliminated.  And finally, you can avoid many issues by building buffer time into your calendar. Trying to squeeze in as many meetings as you can without allowing at least 15 minutes between them is storing up problems for you later.  I try to set aside 2 hours for focused work each day and 2 hours of buffer time for the unexpected. I've found over the years that on most days, that's enough to give me the flexibility to deal with whatever comes my way.  So Nick, it comes down to following the principles of COD. Collect everything that needs to be collected. Allow yourself ten to fifteen minutes each day to process and organise what you collected. Decide when you will do the tasks, and use your daily and weekly planning sessions to map out your days so you are getting the right things done at the right time.  I hope that helps.  Now, don't forget, if you want to learn how to put all this together, have me show you how to manage your calendar and task manager and stay of top of your communications, then my Ultimate Productivity Workshop will do that for you.  And don't worry if you cannot attend all the sessions (there are only two). Both sessions will be recorded, and the video and audio files will be available shortly after the end of each session.  I hope you can join me. Details for this fantastic workshop are in the show notes. Thank you, Nick, for your question, and thank you to you, too, for listening. It just remains for me now to wish you all a very, very productive week.

Welcome to episode #1025 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). At a moment when panic travels faster than proof, few marketers are as clear-eyed… and as human… as Ann Handley. A pioneering digital marketing strategist (MarketingProfs), bestselling author (Everybody Writes and Content Rules), longtime champion of writing that actually means something and dear friend (also, if you're not susbscribed to her newsletter, Total Annarchy, you really should be), Ann has built a career reminding businesses that the point of content isn't velocity… it's connection. In her recent essay, Something Messy Is Happening: On AI, Panic, and Asking Better Questions, she pushes back against the apocalyptic certainty surrounding AI job displacement and challenges the framing that faster always wins. Responding to venture capitalist Matt Shumer's argument, Something Big Is Happening, that AI will eliminate half of white-collar work within a few years, Ann dissects the seductive panic embedded in exponential curves and racing metaphors, arguing that technological capability does not equal economic inevitability. She reminds us that adoption is human-shaped, that judgment compounds when speed becomes cheap, and that friction is often where thinking actually happens. Rather than choosing between "adapt or die," Ann advocates for a steadier path: use the tools, reject the hysteria, protect the work that builds trust, expertise and meaning over time. Grounded in curiosity rather than fear, her perspective reframes the moment not as a race to outrun machines but as an invitation to ask better questions about what we're building… and why.

Claudio Farinha, Nehemiah 4:1-6. From the "Various 2026" series.More sermons available online at www.gbcob.org.

Our daily pressures are battle grounds of a Spirit-filled life.

In Jonah 1, a prophet hears God's call and runs in the opposite direction. In Isaiah 6, another prophet hears God ask, “Whom shall I send?” and responds, “Here I am. Send me.”In this message, Pastor Tim Riddick reminds us that God makes His invitation personal through us, and how we respond matters. Avoidance may feel safe, but it's still running. The difference between Jonah and Isaiah wasn't talent or gifting. It was availability.Questions for Reflection: • Who might be your “Nineveh” - someone God is prompting you to move toward instead of avoid? • What step could you take this week to move from delay to obedience?

Are your prospects ghosting you after showing interest? If people say they're interested, ask for the video, and then disappear, the problem may not be your leads—it may be your posture. In this episode, Ray Higdon breaks down the real reason prospects stop responding and how subtle shifts in posture and positioning dramatically affect your close rate. Most salespeople assume ghosting is a prospect problem. But in reality, prospects respond to energy, positioning, and how conversations are led. Ray explains why chasing repels prospects, how speaking above a prospect's position creates resistance, and how to follow up without sounding needy or desperate. You will also learn a simple follow-up framework that creates urgency, filters serious prospects, and increases closing percentages. If you are in sales, network marketing, direct sales, or entrepreneurship, this episode will help you stop getting ghosted and start leading conversations with confidence and clarity. Keywords naturally included: why prospects stop responding, sales ghosting, handling unresponsive prospects, sales posture, follow-up strategies, closing more sales, network marketing training, sales positioning, improving response rates, prospecting mistakes —  

Stella Maria Baer is a Santa Fe–based painter whose work is deeply rooted in land, light, and place. Known for her luminous depictions of moons, desert skies, horses, and wide-open Southwestern landscapes, Stella often makes her own pigments by hand—grinding rocks, dirt, and minerals into paint that quite literally contains the places she portrays. In addition to her studio practice, she teaches intimate workshops on natural pigment painting for land-based artists on her New Mexico property, creating space for people to reconnect with their creativity, their hands, and the earth itself. Stella grew up in New Mexico in a family of artists—her mother was a weaver, her grandfather a photographer, her grandmother a sculptor—and spent summers on a Wyoming ranch that shaped her lifelong love of horses and open country. Though art was always around her, she initially pursued religion and philosophy, studying questions of desire, goodness, and the inherent value of land. Painting began not as a career move but as a private, prayerful practice—drawing birds in journals to quiet a busy mind. Over time, that contemplative discipline evolved into a full-time vocation, one that ultimately drew her back home to New Mexico after years on the East Coast, where she had found herself painting the desert from memory and longing. In this conversation, we talk about that journey—from philosophy classrooms and sacred poetry to moon paintings and hand-ground pigments. Stella shares how critique shaped her work in unexpected ways, how motherhood has influenced both her art and her priorities, and the powerful story behind rescuing her horses from kill pens—animals that now carry deep personal meaning connected to her late mother. We also discuss the importance of play, silence, and being a beginner in a screen-saturated world. Stella rarely does interviews, so I'm especially grateful for her willingness to sit down and speak so thoughtfully and authentically about her life and work. It's a reflective conversation about creativity, land, faith, and following one's unique artistic curiosity. I feel like Stella and I only scratched the surface of her curiosity, land ethic, and artistic journey, so I'll look forward to having her back for another conversation in the future. But for now, I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did. --- Stella Maria Baer Moon Horse Ranch Full episode notes and links: https://mountainandprairie.com/stella --- THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Mountain & Prairie is listener supported via Patreon, and brought to you with support from the Central Grasslands Roadmap, The Nature Conservancy in Colorado, North Bridger Bison, and the Old Salt Co-op for their generous sponsorship. --- TOPICS DISCUSSED: 0:00 - Intro and sponsor highlight 7:50 - Stella's origin story 12:00 - Art in Stella's childhood 14:35 - Zoning in and drawing birds 19:39 - Religion and philosophy degrees 21:58 - Wendell Berry and the Bible 25:07 - Responding to critiques 27:42 - New Mexico love 33:01 - Why moons? 36:07 - Importance of play 44:12 - How having kids changed things 50:54 - Stella's horses 55:28 - Stella's workshops 1:02:08 - Book recs 1:06:00 - Wrapping up --- ABOUT MOUNTAIN & PRAIRIE: Mountain & Prairie - All Episodes Mountain & Prairie Shop Mountain & Prairie on Instagram Upcoming Events About Ed Roberson Leave a Review on Apple Podcasts
