In this episode of The Light Inside, Jeffrey Besecker is joined by Tena Cacic for a grounded, nuanced conversation on how early childhood attachment experiences shape adult identity, performance roles, and dissociative coping patterns—especially within helping and therapeutic professions.Together, they explore how achievement, productivity, and over-functioning can quietly become protective strategies rooted in early relational environments. Rather than framing these patterns as pathology, the conversation examines them as adaptive responses that can later harden into identity, limiting flexibility, relational attunement, and therapeutic presence.Throughout the episode, Jeffrey and Tena differentiate somatic signals from narrative overlays, highlight the risks of epistemic and spiritual flattening, and unpack how unresolved practitioner patterns—such as rescuing, serial fixing, and over-responsibility—can subtly shape client dynamics.This episode is particularly relevant for clinicians, coaches, and educators seeking to deepen their awareness of counter-transference, performance-based identity, dissociative bypassing, and capacity-building without collapsing complexity or bypassing discomfort.Timestamps00:00 — Episode framing• Introducing the focus on early attachment, identity, and therapeutic relevance04:30 — Lived experience and trauma awareness• Tena shares personal experiences that shaped her understanding of helplessness, control, and internal role shifts10:15 — Victim–rescuer–persecutor dynamics• How early relational patterns evolve into adult performance and protection roles15:45 — Childhood development and pre-verbal imprinting• Why somatic cues precede cognition and narrative meaning-making21:30 — Over-responsibility in therapeutic roles• The subtle line between holding space and over-functioning for clients27:00 — Somatic signals vs. belief systems• Distinguishing embodied emotional intensity from post-hoc interpretation33:30 — Cultural conditioning and vulnerability• How inherited narratives shape children's sense of threat, safety, and capacity39:30 — Performance, flow, and bypassing• When calm, productivity, or “peace” becomes another form of avoidance45:30 — Identity rewards and letting go of the story• How suffering, competence, and achievement can become sublimated anchors52:30 — Nervous system regulation and productivity• Reframing performance without dissociation or over-control59:00 — Closing reflections• Relational attunement, differentiation, and building adaptive capacity over identity rigidityCreditsHost: Jeffrey BeseckerGuest: Tena CacicExecutive Program Director: Anna GetzProduction Team: Aloft Media GroupMusic: Courtesy of Aloft Media GroupConnect with host Jeffrey Besecker on LinkedIn.

You can be doing “everything right” and still feel off: poor sleep, low energy, brain fog, and slipping motivation. This episode reframes the hidden factor many high-performing men overlook: regular social drinking. If you're a man in your 40s or 50s who drinks “normally” but feels like your performance is sliding, Clifford Stephan shares why a longer, strategic break (not a quick dry month) can help you reset sleep, mood, cravings, and resilience, without shame or extreme labels. About the Guest: Clifford Stephan is the founder of Booze Vacation, a men's health movement for high-performing men in their 40s and 50s. He studied nutritional science at Cal Poly SLO and spent over 20 years running a consulting business in Silicon Valley. Key Takeaways: Use a 3 to 6 month break to truly re-stabilize sleep, mood, and stress response Track drinks, last drink time, and morning energy to spot patterns fast Build a “social game plan” so events stay fun without alcohol Expect cravings for sugar and caffeine when sleep is disrupted Focus on sequence: stop the disruptor first, then optimize diet, training, recovery How to Connect With the Guest: Website: https://boozevacation.com/  Men's health assessment quiz: https://boozevacation.scoreapp.com/  Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

If sex has started to feel heavy, pressured, or like something you should be doing instead of something you genuinely want, this episode is for you.Many women in long-term relationships still enjoy sex, but feel disconnected from desire, sensation, or ease. Not because something is wrong with them or their relationship, but because pressure has quietly crept into intimacy.In this episode, we're unpacking the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways couples put pressure on sex, from frequency expectations, to orgasm chasing, to the unspoken guilt that builds over time, and why that pressure actually shuts pleasure down.You'll learn:Why pressure is read by your nervous system as a threat, not an invitationHow the “ticking clock” and orgasm focus sabotage desire — even when attraction is thereWhy this isn't a libido problem, a hormone problem, or a communication failureHow pressure impacts both partners — and creates avoidance, resentment, and disconnectionWhat actually creates the conditions for desire, connection, and pleasure to returnThis is a grounded, honest conversation for real women in real relationships — not sex tips, performance advice, or quick fixes. We're talking about embodiment, nervous system safety, and responsibility without self-blame.If you're ready to stop forcing intimacy and start creating space for pleasure to breathe again, this episode will meet you right where you are.

In this Season 14 review (Part 3) Andrea revisits key insights from Dr. Shane Creado on the critical link between sleep, concussions and performance. The episode explains how even mild or repeated head impacts and sleep deprivation damage the same brain regions that support learning, memory, decision-making and emotional regulation, and how one all‑nighter can reduce hippocampal learning capacity by around 40%. Practical takeaways include treating sleep as neurological recovery (7–9 hours), protecting the brain after head jolts, avoiding late alcohol and screens, and prioritizing consistent sleep routines to restore learning, resilience and long‑term brain health for athletes, students and professionals. Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. As we are nearing the end of Season 14 here, it has been about reflection as we have looked back and reviewed past interviews. Our goal has not been about nostalgia, or remembering these interviews, the goal has been about integrating what we have learned. Taking what we know, aligning it with how the brain actually functions, and applying it consistently enough to change outcomes. And if there's one thing this season has reinforced, it's this: Sustainable success isn't built on intensity or focus alone—it's built on alignment. As we move into what's next, (Season 15) the focus shifts from understanding this alignment to bringing this alignment into a tangible, physical form, or embodiment. Not more information—but better execution. After hundreds of conversations with neuroscientists, educators, peak performers, and thought leaders, one truth keeps resurfacing— lasting success is never about doing more. It's about alignment. Alignment between how the brain actually works, how emotions drive behavior, and how daily habits compound over time. Season 14 has been about stepping back—not to reminisce, but to integrate what we have learned into our current life. I knew the minute that I was sent a couple of video clips from our past episodes, that I had forgotten about, that while I thought I had implemented the ideas from our past guests, I had some work to go myself. For this reason, we spent Season 14 and will resume with Season 15 next January, reviewing past episodes, with the goal of noticing what we have now aligned, that's bringing us results in our daily life. Core Reflection When we started this podcast 7 years ago, the goal was simple: bridge neuroscience research with practical strategies people could actually use. What I didn't fully appreciate then—what only became clear through repetition, reflection, and real-life application—is that information alone doesn't create change. Understanding the brain doesn't matter if we ignore what to do with the information we release each week: improving our sleep reducing our stress practicing emotional regulation with consistency that actually changes who we are at the core: our identity Season 14 has been about connecting those dots. Listening again to conversations with voices like Dr. John Medina, Dawson Church, Bob Proctor, Dr. John Ratey, Friederike Fabritius, and so many others, one pattern became impossible to ignore: The brain thrives on simplicity, repetition, and finding emotional safety to implement these concepts—not intensity or a quick fix. We will take the time with each interview review to offer ways for all of us to implement the lessons learned, so that when we finish 2026, we will be able to look back, and see where our changes all began. This week, we move onto PART 3 of our review of EP 72[i] with Shane Creado, MD and his book Peak Sleep Performance for Athletes recorded back in July of 2020. ✔ In PART 1[ii], we covered: How strategic napping, morning brain habits, and even the Silva Method all work together to reset your brain, boost performance, and transform your health from the inside out. ✔ In PART 2[iii] we continued with our review, diving a bit deeper into sleep deprivation and its impact of performance (whether you are an athlete, or just someone looking to improve productivity). ✔ PART 3, we will go a bit deeper into the impacts of concussions and brain injuries on our sleep and performance. Let's go back to 2020 and revisit what Dr. Creado had to say about sleep in this last episode of this season.   VIDEO 1 – Click Here to Watch   In the first clip of this episode, with Dr. Creado, he dives into the connection with concussions and sleep. He says, “Most people who have had a concussion end up with sleep problems. It makes a lot of sense when you think about the brain and how it regulates sleep and wakeful cycles and then it gets jarred. But what people don't realize is that even a mild head injury can really damage your brain. Even if you're not officially diagnosed with a concussion, you don't have to lose consciousness to have a concussion. You don't even need to have any symptoms to have your brain injured in some way. And then the little injuries along the way add up over time. So the brain is as soft as butter and in a hard, bony skull. Anything that jars it, even whiplash can cause your brain to be injured. And it accumulates over time. What's interesting is that the same regions of the brain that are most damaged in head injuries are also damaged in sleep deprivation and also alcohol use. The frontal lobes, the temporal lobes and the parietal lobes at the top of the brain.”

It's Thursday, December 18th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Syrian Christians are suffering Christians in Syria are facing new challenges and growth. The Middle Eastern country is now ruled by a transitional government after the autocratic rule of Bashar al-Assad ended a year ago. Freedom of expression seems to be increasing; however, Christians still suffer persecution. Christian students, women, clergy, and business owners face insults and threats in public. Despite this, one pastor told Open Doors, “After all the violence in the country, some non-Christians are now more open to hear about Christianity, because they see that Christianity brings peace, and we hope that God will touch their hearts.” In John 14:27, Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” Two U.S. soldiers and U.S. civilian interpreter killed in Syria Two U.S. soldiers and a U.S. civilian interpreter were killed in an attack in Syria over the weekend. The U.S. military blamed the attack on the Islamic State group.  Hundreds of American troops are in eastern Syria as part of a coalition to fight the Islamic State. U.S. President Donald Trump wrote on X, “This was an ISIS attack against the U.S. and Syria, in a very dangerous part of Syria, that is not fully controlled by them. … There will be very serious retaliation.” Citizens in 39 countries are prohibited from traveling to U.S. On Tuesday, President Donald Trump signed a proclamation further restricting the entry of foreign nationals to the U.S.  Thirty-nine countries are now affected by U.S. travel restrictions. The proclamation added full restrictions and entry limitations on Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, South Sudan, and Syria. Individuals holding Palestinian-Authority-issued travel documents also face full restrictions.  Defense bill gives 4% raise to soldiers The U.S. Senate passed the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act yesterday. The $901 billion military spending bill provides support for Europe, Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.  The bill also gives service members a 4% raise and addresses social issues for troops. For example, the bill prohibits men, pretending to be women, from participating in women's sports programs at military academies. And the bill does not expand coverage for in vitro fertilization for military families.  The U.S. House of Representatives approved the bill last week, and President Donald Trump is expected to sign it.  Hegseth restores miliary chaplains as moral anchors U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced plans on Tuesday to restore the military chaplaincy to its full strength. Hegseth said chaplains have been minimized by secular humanism to being viewed as therapists instead of ministers. He said, “I have a directive right here that I will sign today to eliminate the use of the Army Spiritual Fitness Guide effective immediately. These types of training materials have no place in the War Department.” Hegseth added, “In well over 100 pages, it mentions God one time. “That's it. It mentions feelings 11 times. It even mentions playfulness—whatever that is—nine times. There's zero mention of virtue.” Listen to other comments from Hegseth. HEGSETH: “There will be a top down-cultural shift, putting spiritual wellbeing on the same footing as mental and physical health. As a first step toward creating a supportive environment for our warriors and their souls, we're going to restore the esteemed position of chaplains as moral anchors for our fighting force.” Will Supreme Court block church's million dollar COVID fine? A church in California is appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court in a case involving government overreach during the COVID-19 pandemic. California officials previously fined Calvary Chapel in San Jose over one million dollars. The church simply did not require members to wear masks at services during the pandemic.  Advocates for Faith & Freedom is representing the church. Erin Mersino, vice president of the group, said, “Government officials may not weaponize emergencies to suspend the First Amendment. California imposed some of the most aggressive restrictions on churches in the country, and this case is about ensuring the government never does this again.” When commanded not to preach, Peter and the apostles said in Acts 5:29, “We ought to obey God rather than men.” 234th anniversary of Bill of Rights And finally, this week is the anniversary of the U.S. Bill of Rights which comprise the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution.  The United States of America ratified the Bill of Rights on December 15, 1791, two hundred thirty-four years ago. The First Amendment famously protects freedom of religion and freedom of speech. The Second Amendment protects the individual right to keep and bear arms.  The amendments drew from English law to protect the rights of citizens and limit the power of government.

Big Idea: God completely cleanses and restores his sin-stained children. I. God cleanses a filthy man of his sin.Zechariah 3:1-5Then he showed me the high priest Joshua standing before the angel of the Lord, with Satan standing at his right side to accuse him. The Lord said to Satan, “The Lord rebuke you, Satan! May the Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Isn't this man a burning stick snatched from the fire?” Now Joshua was dressed with filthy clothes as he stood before the angel. So the angel of the Lord spoke to those standing before him, “Take off his filthy clothes!” Then he said to him, “See, I have removed your iniquity from you, and I will clothe you with festive robes.” Then I said, “Let them put a clean turban on his head.” So a clean turban was placed on his head, and they clothed him in garments while the angel of the Lord was standing nearby.II. God restores an untrustworthy man to his service.Zechariah 3:6-7Then the angel of the Lord charged Joshua, “This is what the Lord of Armies says: If you walk in my ways and keep my mandates, you will both rule my house and take care of my courts; I will also grant you access among these who are standing here.III. God promises a broken world his salvation.Zechariah 3:8-10“Listen, High Priest Joshua, you and your colleagues sitting before you; indeed, these men are a sign that I am about to bring my servant, the Branch. Notice the stone I have set before Joshua; on that one stone are seven eyes. I will engrave an inscription on it”—this is the declaration of the Lord of Armies—“and I will take away the iniquity of this land in a single day. On that day, each of you will invite his neighbor to sit under his vine and fig tree.” This is the declaration of the Lord of Armies.Next Steps: Believe: Today, I surrender my soul to King Jesus.Become: I will stop listening to the accuser and start listening to the Father this week. Be Sent: I will share how Jesus forgave me with someone this week. Discussion Questions: What challenges have you faced in this broken world this year?How do you react when someone points out your faults?Do you consider your sin less filthy than someone else's?Will God trust great responsibilities to someone who isn't faithful to keep his Word? Explain your answer.Do you hold on to guilt or shame even after God has forgiven you?Give the first name of someone who needs to experience Jesus's forgiveness this week.Thank God for his gift of forgiveness today. 

What does healing actually require — in a marriage, in a community, or in a culture stretched thin by conflict? We're living in a time when tension feels everywhere — in our homes, online, within institutions, and across the nation. The emotional strain we feel collectively often mirrors what happens inside relationships: disconnection, mistrust, stuck narratives, and the fear that things may never return to peace. That's why today's conversation with Dr. Mike Sytsma is so compelling. For more than 30 years, Mike has worked with couples facing some of the most painful relational fractures imaginable — and he's learned something stunningly consistent: two things must be present for healing to even begin: 1. A contrite, humble heart —a genuine willingness to acknowledge harm and soften defensiveness. 2. Grace —creating space for change without erasing boundaries, truth, or accountability. These two human capacities, he says, are just as essential for restoring marriages as they are for healing communities and cultures under strain. In this episode, Mike and Corie explore: Why deep conflict (personal or societal) emerges when pain goes unaddressed What makes a contrite heart so transformative — and so rare How grace functions as an active force in reconciliation, not passive acceptance The difference between forgiveness, safety, and rebuilding trust Why some relationships — and some communities — recover while others fracture How humility, grit, and emotional regulation allow peace to take root again What healing looks like when it's slow, nonlinear, and imperfect The inner work required of both individuals before reconciliation can occur Corie reflects on how these insights reach far beyond intimate relationships: To heal a divided culture, individuals must first examine the inner conflicts that shape how they show up in the world. The principles that restore a marriage — truth, humility, accountability, and compassion — are the same principles that restore communities.

Happy Sunday, Heal Squad! We're back with another Sunday Set-Up, and we're diving into something most people never learn but everyone needs: Shadow Love. We're taught the shadow is the enemy, but what if that's backwards? What if the shadow isn't the wound, but the bodyguard, the part of you that's been trying to protect you all along? We'll explore the quantum truth that your shadow isn't the villain but the unloved guardian, and why real growth comes not from suppressing it, but from embracing it. You'll learn how shadow love restores your power, boundaries, and authenticity, and why anger, ambition, desire, and intensity aren't flaws, they're functions. We'll also walk through simple ways to reconnect with these parts: asking what your shadow is protecting, reclaiming your fire and voice, and letting your wholeness (not your fear)  lead the way. If you're in a season of growth or change, this episode is for you. Your next chapter isn't about being softer, it's about being whole.

Today’s Bible Verse: “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end.He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding itwith justice and righteousness from that time on and forever" - Isaiah 9:6–7 (NIV) Hope feels different when you remember who Jesus actually is. Isaiah’s prophecy names Him in ways our weary hearts often forget: the Wonderful Counselor who brings wisdom when life feels tangled, the Mighty God who carries what we can’t, the Everlasting Father who never abandons, and the Prince of Peace who calms the chaos within and around us. Meet Today’s Host: Reverend Jessica Van Roekel

In this follow-up to “Lord, I've Had Enough”, we look at the next stage of Elijah's journey, the moment when he believes his calling is over. This episode focuses on how easily we misread our circumstances, assume something has ended too soon, and forget that God alone determines our seasons and assignments. Elijah thought he was finished. But God wasn't done with him. We'll explore how God corrects Elijah's perspective, renews his purpose, restores his strength, and leads him into a fresh assignment. If you feel like quitting, questioning your season, or wondering if your purpose has run out, this teaching will help you see the situation through God's eyes. It's not over until God says it's over.

This week in our Advent series, we look at the peace God offers in a world that feels increasingly anxious, hurried, and loud. From Isaiah's promise of “perfect peace” to Jesus' words in the upper room, we're reminded that peace isn't something we achieve—it's Someone we receive. As we fix our minds on the Rock eternal and lean into the presence of Jesus, we discover a peace strong enough to hold us steady in every season.Catch the sermon on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or bridge.tv/sermons.To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrC Support the show

The discussion is a part of an ongoing series where Lisa dedicates each episode to a chapter of Luke, aiming to immerse listeners in the life and teachings of Jesus Christ as Christmas approaches. This episode delves into themes of faith, compassion, humility, and transformation, using powerful narratives from Luke 7 as foundational lessons.Lisa begins by recounting the story of the Roman centurion, highlighting Jesus's reaction to the centurion's demonstration of faith. The narrative unfolds with the widow of Nain, showcasing Jesus's immense compassion as he raises her son from the dead. The episode then explores John the Baptist's doubt during imprisonment and how Jesus reassures him with evidence of His works. Finally, Lisa delves into the touching scene of a sinful woman displaying her remorse and love at Jesus's feet, emphasizing the themes of forgiveness and grace. Throughout, Lisa stresses how these illustrative encounters reveal Jesus as a Savior full of authority, compassion, and an unconditional willingness to forgive and transform.Key Takeaways:Faith and Humility: The Roman centurion's story illustrates the power of faith and humility, showing how these qualities can move Jesus to act.Compassion in Action: Jesus's encounter with the widow of Nain reveals His deep compassion and willingness to defy societal norms to bring life where there is despair.Reassurance in Doubt: John the Baptist's story underscores that expressing doubt is not condemned by Jesus, who provides reassurance through his works and words.Forgiveness and Love: The account of the sinful woman demonstrates that Jesus looks beyond societal labels, welcoming sincere repentance with forgiveness and grace.Transformation through Surrender: Lisa emphasizes that surrendering to Jesus brings transformation, as faith and honesty invoke His presence and compassion.Notable Quotes:“Jesus is amazed, one of the only times in scriptures that says this, and he praises the man for his faith.”“And this moment shows us that Jesus responds to our faith and our humility, not status and position.”“When the Lord saw her, his heart was overflowed with compassion.”“Jesus meets us in our doubts with reassurance, not condemnation.”“Jesus sees past your past.

Y'all… this episode is one of those full-circle, only-God-could-write-this moments. I am beyond excited to introduce you to Howard Chang, also known as Quiqqly—the man who helped design the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle toys that so many of us (and now our kids and nephews) grew up playing with. And now? God has brought his creativity full circle—right into the pages of Scripture.Howard shares how, straight out of high school, he found himself designing hundreds of Ninja Turtle toys that would go on to shape generations. Decades later, those same designs resurfaced, reminding him that what God plants never truly disappears. But what makes this story even more powerful is Howard's personal journey with God—through divorce, sickness, being a single dad of three, depression, anxiety, and rock-bottom moments that became holy ground for radical transformation.Howard vulnerably shares how, twelve years ago, everything changed when he encountered the Lord in the middle of his deepest brokenness. Since then, God has restored his life and redeemed his creativity into something eternal.Now, Howard and his wife, Gloria, are launching an incredible new project: Bible-inspired collectible action figures—heroes like David, Moses, Noah, Deborah, Sarah, and even Goliath as a robotic figure—designed to spark faith, imagination, and conversation across generations. Their heart? To place God's truth right under the Christmas tree, reaching believers and non-believers alike.This episode is about:RedemptionFaith in the processCreativity for God's KingdomAnd how nothing in your story is wastedTruly, this conversation felt like different seasons of my own life colliding in the most God-ordained way—childhood nostalgia, ministry, and Kingdom purpose all meeting in one place.Highlighted TakeawaysGod can meet you at your absolute lowest and completely rewrite your story.What looks like coincidence is often God's coordination.Your gifts don't disappear—God redeems and reassigns them for His glory.Faith doesn't require full understanding—just obedience and trust.The heroes of the Bible remind us that real power comes from faith, not strength. Final Encouragement from Howard“Never give up on the process. God is always working—even when you can't see it.”Bio:Howard “Quiggly” Chang is the visionary creator of Ancientz—a bold, faith-fueled universe where spirit-powered robotic warriors battle darkness. But before Ancientz, Quiggly made his mark in pop culture history as one of the original creative forces behind the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toy phenomenon. As Lead Toy Concept Artist at Varner Studios, he helped design some of the most iconic TMNT figures of the late '80s and '90s.Anchor Verse:Isaiah 55: 8-9Connect with Howard and Ancientz:Website: www.ancientz.comIG: https://www.instagram.com/ancientz_officialFB: https://www.facebook.com/share/1DCTwxcsXT/?mibextid=wwXIfr***We love hearing from you!

In the final message of our series The Story: Our Place in God's Plan, we look beyond the brokenness of this world to the sweeping hope of Scripture's final chapter. God Restores explores the biblical promise that God is not abandoning creation but renewing it – healing what is fractured, raising what has died, and making all things new in and through the gospel of Jesus. This message traces the Bible's arc from the garden to the new creation, showing how the resurrection of Jesus is not only our personal hope but the beginning of God's worldwide restoration project. If you need encouragement, clarity, or a fresh sense of purpose as you live between the “already” and “not yet,” this sermon will ground you in the hope Scripture insists on: God restores… the home we long for… the community we were built for… the design we were made for… and the worship we were created for.

Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host Amanda Borschel-Dan speaking with Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib, the head of Realign For Palestine, an Atlantic Council project that challenges entrenched narratives in the Israel and Palestine discourse. This summer, Alkhatib flew over Gaza as part of the last days of the United Arab Emirates's aid drop missions. It was the first time since he had seen his former home since leaving the enclave in 2005 for what was meant to have been a high school year abroad. To begin the program, Alkhatib relates how he felt viewing the swaths of destruction two years of war had left in its wake. An outspoken anti-Hamas voice, Alkhatib promotes what he calls “radical pragmatism” through his work with the Atlantic Council and his speaking engagements around the world. No short on considered criticism for Israel's prosecution of the war sparked by Hamas's murderous onslaught on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, we learn of concrete steps that could be taken to drive out the terrorist organization. We hear how Hamas is re-rooting itself into all aspects of the Strip's governance. Now that the terror regime has been reestablished, so has law and order, says Alkhatib, leaving Gazans stuck in a "safe-ish," but abusive relationship. And so this week, we ask Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib, what matters now. What Matters Now podcasts are available for download on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.

Heartache touches every life, yet for believers, it becomes a place where God shapes the heart and strengthens faith. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar remind believers that Scripture—not fleeting comforts or worldly distractions—offers lasting healing and peace in seasons of sorrow. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, using trials not to destroy but to draw His people closer to Himself. The guys warn against the dangers of bitterness and self-pity, encouraging believers instead to take Christ's hand, trust His goodness, and move forward in faith. They point out that Jesus Himself wept, showing that He understands human pain and cares deeply for those who suffer. Mourning should lead not only to comfort but also to repentance, bringing the heart back to the cross where forgiveness and renewal are found. Through prayer, gospel community, and an eternal perspective, believers can find hope even in the midst of hardship, knowing that God never wastes pain and that every trial serves a divine purpose.Send us a textThanks for listening!

What if the burnout, overwhelm, and self-sacrifice so many women carry isn't personal failure, but evidence of a system that was never designed for them? Josh Trent welcomes Dr. Melissa Sonners, Women's Mind-Body Alignment Expert, to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 783, to reveal why women aren't meant to live in the constant grind, why true feminine power lives in being instead of doing, and how self-care, intuition, and cyclical alignment can rebuild a woman's health from the inside out.
