Welcome to another episode of Restoring the Soul with Michael John Cusick. Joining Michael is Alan Kraft, who will delve into the spiritually nourishing practice of scripture meditation and its power to let the Holy Spirit speak directly to our hearts.In today's episode, titled "The Intimate God," Alan unravels his spiritual trifecta — stillness, prayer, and scripture — to cultivate a profound connection with the Father. We'll explore how scripture is a gateway to a relational experience with Jesus, offering insights into his nature and deepening our knowledge of His love.We'll also discuss Alan's thought-provoking approach of slowly reading scripture and integrating prayer, inviting reflection, and an open dialogue with Jesus through the pages of the Bible. The concept of "practicing the presence of Jesus" emerges as a transformative method to bring Jesus into the entirety of our experiences, even the difficult emotions, as a path to growth and prayer.We touch on the significance of stillness, as echoed in the Psalms and the book of Genesis, carving out space to gaze within and commune with our Creator, and how this practice informs a genuine personal reality.Finally, we'll touch upon Sabbath, emphasizing it as a treasured time of self-care ordained by God, an invitation to rest in gratitude rather than an obligation.Support the showENGAGE THE RESTORING THE SOUL PODCAST:- Follow us on YouTube - Tweet us at @michaeljcusick and @PodcastRTS- Like us on Facebook- Follow us on Instagram & Twitter- Follow Michael on Twitter- Email us at info@restoringthesoul.com Thanks for listening!

In this powerful and emotionally charged segment, the host explores unexpected cultural reversals unfolding in America — from a surprising rise in Gen Z church attendance to an increase in two-parent households for the first time since the 1970s. The conversation credits Donald Trump with igniting a broader cultural pushback, especially among young men, who are now trending more conservative than any generation in decades. With heartfelt personal stories and candid reflections on marriage, divorce, and child-rearing, the host challenges modern norms and urges a return to family-first values — not out of nostalgia, but as a necessary foundation for a stable and thriving society.

Dr. Steven Gundry joins Michael Rubino to reveal why America has never been sicker—and how three major changes from the 1970s triggered a wave of chronic illness we're still battling today. From microbiome damage and leaky gut to mold exposure, glyphosate, and indoor air quality, this episode breaks down what's really driving today's health epidemic.Learn more from Dr. Gundry:▪️ Website: https://drgundry.com▪️ Products: https://gundrymd.com▪️ Telemedicine: https://gundryhealth.comTakeawaysWe've never been sicker than we are today.The best medical system doesn't equate to better health.The microbiome is crucial for our immune system.Leaky gut is a significant health issue.Antibiotics have harmed our gut health.Glyphosate is an antibiotic that affects bacteria.Mold exposure can lead to serious health problems.Restoring the microbiome takes time and effort.Fermentation can help detoxify harmful plant compounds.Hydrogen gas from the microbiome is vital for health.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction to Dr. Steven Gundry01:13 Why we've “never been sicker”02:17 How the 1970s created a health crisis04:36 Mold vs. bacteria: a natural war05:38 Microbiome strength in centenarians06:07 The microbiome destruction from antibiotics08:05 NSAIDs and gut lining damage10:30 Glyphosate's hidden antibiotic role13:28 How crops are sprayed with glyphosate pre-harvest18:33 Leaky gut, autoimmune disease, and inflammation24:23 Traditional food prep that detoxifies plants27:50 How long it actually takes to heal leaky gut31:30 Gundry's mold case study in a patient home34:59 Best spot to place your air purifier36:04 Mold, indoor air, and gut health38:27 Microplastics and hydrogen gas production39:26 Dr. Gundry's hydrogen product and why it matters41:20 Where to find Dr. Gundry and his work

Introducing Credible Witness, a new podcast produced by Mark Labberton and the Rethinking Church Initiative. In this episode of Conversing, Mark features the full premiere episode of Credible Witness, and is joined by host Nikki Toyama-Szeto and historian Jemar Tisby. Exploring how Christian witness to the gospel of Christ has become compromised—and what might restore its credibility. Reflecting on five years of candid, challenging conversation among diverse Christian leaders during the wake of George Floyd's murder and rising Christian nationalism, the three discuss the soul-searching, disillusionment, and hope that emerged. Together, they examine the cultural fractures, theological tensions, and moral failures that have pushed many to extremes, elevating strident voices as an increased number of people to leave the church. They articulate the mission and vision of Credible Witness, testify to a persistent hope in Jesus and the power of honest community, face painful truths, and imagine a church that more truly reflects the love, justice, and mercy of God. Key Moments “We absolutely get that… but we're still on board with Jesus. And Jesus has always been with us and hasn't left us.” “This isn't about leaving Jesus. This is about following Jesus.” “We've got a better story to tell.” “It was the church that was putting the church at risk.” “The church has a reputation in the United States… and not a good one by and large.” About the Guests Nikki Toyama-Szeto is the host of Credible Witness, and is executive director of Christians for Social Action, equipping the church to pursue justice and follow Jesus in the tension of our times. Jemar Tisby is the author of The Color of Compromise and How to Fight Racism, and founder of The Witness: A Black Christian Collective. He is the host of Pass the Mic. Show Notes “This isn't about leaving Jesus. This is about following Jesus.” —Jemar Tisby Nikki introduces Credible Witness as a space for honest stories of faith amid moral complexity and social tension Mark recalls the origins of the conversation in summer 2020: COVID-19, George Floyd, church division, and racial injustice Jemar Tisby clarifies the mission for imagining a more credible Christian witness Nikki reflects on trust-building in a space that welcomed “tricky truths” and honesty without pretense The group's five-year journey begins as a short experiment but grows into a lasting community of deep discernment “We weren't trying to replicate any harm.” —Jemar Tisby The group names white Christian nationalism and silence on injustice as threats to the church's credibility Ephesians 2 and the power of “coming together of the unlikes” as a witness to the resurrection “It was the church that was putting the gospel at risk.” —Mark Labberton Nikki explains how church neutrality began to speak volumes: “Choosing silence was actually a loud voice.” Discussion on the failure of integrity: “Too many things in isolation” eroded credibility Jemar highlights story as central to public theology: “We've got a better story to tell.” The group wrestles with algorithmic distortion and toxic digital narratives shaping Christian identity “Not just message, but embodiment”: The church's credibility depends on lived ethics, not just theological claims Mark emphasizes self-examination: “Are we credible?” Dissonance and disagreement as gifts: “What kept people in the room was the gift of dissonance.” —Nikki Toyama-Szeto Jemar recalls moments of tension over how to prioritize justice issues while remaining unified in Christ The group's diversity as a deliberate strategy: different traditions, backgrounds, and responsibilities within the church Nikki names divine timing: the conversation is more urgent now than when it began “We're not all supposed to be the same... That's how everything gets covered.” —Jemar Tisby Mark frames the church's failure as internal implosion—not external threat “Why is the church seemingly so unchanged?” —Mark Labberton Nikki describes how marginalized voices carry wisdom for the way forward Jemar articulates the podcast's goal: a mirror and a window for listeners to see both themselves and the larger church Nikki closes with an invitation to slow down and listen generously: “Pull up a chair...” Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment Magazine and Fuller Seminary.

There are two conditions that are a bit hard to define because they are invisible boundary lines, yet they often have a very strong effect on your life. Those two conditions that may be interacting are soul ties and being able to establish healthy boundaries. Both of these are hard to define because you can't point to a specific behavior to verify them. They both have to do with our heart attitudes, and they are both important because they can hinder our free will. In this podcast, we are going to look at how unhealthy soul ties might be reinforcing unhealthy boundaries. If you are not sure what I am talking about, I understand. Come along with me, and we will attempt to show how these two interact and may be causing you to struggle, and you might not even be aware.

In today's episode of The Lindsey Anderson Show, I'm diving into the topic of bro marketing and why it's no longer serving service-based businesses. If you're unfamiliar with the term, don't worry–I'll break it down for you. Bro marketing refers to aggressive, get-rich-quick tactics that have become increasingly ineffective as audiences have become more discerning. This style of marketing isn't aligned with most businesses anymore, leaving many entrepreneurs and online business owners frustrated and disconnected from their ideal customers. The pressure-filled sales tactics of fake scarcity and high-pressure pitches just aren't working like they used to, especially with today's online consumers who are more skeptical than ever. Today's guest is here to give us the scoop on what's actually working now–and spoiler alert: it's not another new trend or hack. Instead, we're talking about going back to the basics and making those core strategies work for your business. If you're looking to grow your visibility, attract more leads, and close clients in a way that feels authentic and sustainable, this episode is for you.Guest Introduction:My guest today is Leslie Hassler, an author, speaker, and strategic business advisor who helps service-based business owners grow with predictable profits and less overwhelm. She's the founder of Your Biz Rules, a fractional C-suite firm that helps businesses scale through hands-on strategy and leadership. Leslie is also the author of Scaling Rich, a book that's all about growing your business without burning out, while ditching bro marketing for strategies that actually work. I'm so excited to have her on the show today, and I know you're going to walk away with some actionable insights on how to grow your business the right way.Ditch Bro Marketing for Profitable Growth - Key Takeaways:Bro Marketing: This approach relies on aggressive tactics that make the customer feel smaller, often using fake scarcity and high-pressure sales. While it may work for some, it's misaligned with entrepreneurs and online business owners focused on sustainable growth and healthy customer relationships.Post-Pandemic Trust Issues: With bad actors online and the rise of AI, customers have become more skeptical. Marketing needs to evolve to align with a more cautious and informed audience.Customer Acquisition Through Aggressive Tactics: While bro marketing can bring in quick leads, those leads often aren't the best fit for your business. The emotional, pressure-filled approach leaves customers unaligned, leading to poor long-term relationships.The Valley of Despair: This concept describes the lowest point customers can hit when they feel desperate, which compromises their ability to make rational decisions and makes it harder for businesses to provide effective solutions.Alignment is Key: Real success comes from aligning your marketing strategy with your values, your ideal customers' needs, and long-term business goals. Misalignment leads to stress, burnout, and unsustainable growth.Bro Marketing vs. Authentic Marketing:Bro Marketing relies on putting customers down and using fear tactics to push them into making a decision. It often feels manipulative and misaligned with values. Authentic Marketing, on the other hand, focuses on understanding the customer's real needs and offering solutions that build long-term value and trust. It calls people forward to be the best versions of themselves, while bro marketing thrives on fear and scarcity.Client Relationships and Hope:Leslie explains the importance of hope and belief in business. When clients are in the "valley of despair," they've often lost hope, which makes it hard to engage them meaningfully. Restoring hope is key for success. Clients...

Healing often begins with the courage to ask questions—and the right guide to walk you through the answers. Dr. Jill Jenkins shares how pediatric oral health connects to far more than teeth, influencing everything from nursing success to sleep, speech, and even a child's overall development. With warmth and wisdom, she explains how individualized care and a collaborative approach with other practitioners can empower parents to identify tongue ties and make confident decisions. Her passion is a reminder that small interventions early on can create ripple effects of wellness for a lifetime. Key Takeaways: Understanding tongue ties and their subtle symptoms can help parents advocate for their child's health. A multidisciplinary approach—including dentists, lactation consultants, and bodywork—leads to better outcomes. Early, individualized care builds a foundation for proper oral function and overall well-being. Parents' instincts are powerful; trusting your gut can lead to answers others might overlook. Restoring oral function can positively impact sleep, feeding, and emotional connection between parent and child.   About Dr. Jill Jenkins: With almost 20 years of experience as a pediatric dentist, Dr Jill Jenkins felt like there wasn't a child she couldn't help through her pediatric dental practice, Jenkins Dentistry for Kids. That was until 2 of her long term employees had infants with tongue tie restrictions, requiring frenectomy procedures. Without the proper training and equipment, Dr Jenkins had to refer her patients to another practitioner at a vulnerable time for the families who had come to trust her. So, after extensive coursework and in-person observation with one of the most renowned tongue tie pediatric dentists in the field, Dr Richard Baxter, Dr Jenkins is thrilled to now be able to provide frenectomy services to patients through the establishment of Midwest Tongue Tie Professionals. By utilizing the state of the art Lightscalpel CO2 laser and working closely with functional providers, Dr Jenkins is confident that patients receive exceptional care before, during and post-procedure to ensure not only a precise tongue tie release, but also the movement and functionality the release is designed to achieve. Dr Jill Jenkins attended dental school and her pediatric residency at the University of Missouri Kansas City School of Dentistry and Children's Mercy Hospital. After 15 years in her original partnership, Dr Jenkins pivoted to develop a practice based on her own patient and team centered philosophy to open Jenkins Dentistry for Kids with locations in Lenexa and Shawnee. She is also the owner and founder of Midwest Tongue Tie Professionals. Dr Jenkins has served organized dentistry in many volunteer roles throughout her career, most notably as President of the Fifth District Dental Society of Kansas, President of the State of Kansas Dental Association and currently as Chair of the KDA Membership committee, member of the ADA Council on Membership, and as a Delegate for the State of Kansas to the ADA. Dr Jenkins is a board certified pediatric dentist, and is involved with many professional organizations where she is a diplomate for the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, fellow of the Pierre Fauchard Academy, fellow of the American College of Dentists and fellow of the International College of Dentists. She also received the Women Who Mean Business Award from the Kansas City Business Journal in 2017, where she continues to stay active. She has also been awarded Dentist of the Year both locally and at the state level. Dr Jenkins has been married for over 25 years and is fortunate to have 3 amazing children. www.jenkinsdentistryforkids.com www.midwesttonguetieprofessionals.com https://www.facebook.com/JenkinsDentistryKids/ https://www.instagram.com/jenkinsdentistryforkids/    Connect with Dr. Michelle and Bayleigh at: https://smallchangesbigshifts.com hello@smallchangesbigshifts.com https://www.linkedin.com/company/smallchangesbigshifts https://www.facebook.com/SmallChangesBigShifts https://www.instagram.com/smallchangesbigshiftsco   Thanks for listening!

This week, John welcomes back Dr. Bob Schuchts—Catholic therapist, author, and founder of the John Paul II Healing Center—for an in-depth conversation about what it means to truly trust in the Father's provision. Self-reliance can creep into our lives in subtle ways, and fear and control often mask as responsibility. Listen in as Dr. Bob shares personal stories and insights from his new book Trusting Our Father's Provision, which demonstrate how real freedom begins when we let go and allow God to provide. If you've ever struggled to surrender your finances, your future, or your sense of security to God, the Father sees you. He knows what you need. And He can be trusted.

Is it OK to disagree with the dictionary? Well I am going to when it comes to the word peace. According to Dictionary.com, peace means - the non warring condition of a nation or group, a state of mutual harmony between people groups, a state of tranquility or serenity, or the cessation of or freedom from any strife or dissension. It is wonderful when those things happen, but can you experience peace even when life is a mess? In this podcast, I want to look at peace from a biblical point of view and as usual, I have to mix some RTF in with it.  To learn more about the ministry of Restoring the Foundations International, please visit www.restoringthefoundations.org.

Raise the subject of documentaries about filmmaking and you'll probably first go to Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse. Or the film you're thinking about instead was directed by somebody was thinking about Hearts of Darkness. Or, assuming the film came out earlier, it was perhaps directed by someone who later saw Hearts of Darkness and wishes they made a film as good. Which is no disrespect to any other film that fits into its genre––just to say that no other such documentary seems to mirror and match the subject. Though long available, the film has––very much contra Apocalypse Now––only just been restored by American Zoetrope and is now rolling out in theaters. The effort was overseen by James Mockoski, who has served as a guiding hand for the recent spate of Coppola restorations and recuts. I was accordingly pleased to speak with him and Hearts' co-director, Fax Bahr, about the film's legacy, its restoration, and what Francis Ford Coppola has planned after Megalopolis.

Welcome to another episode of "Restoring the Soul with Michael John Cusick." In today's episode, part two of our conversation with Peter Zaremba, we explore the concepts of control, powerlessness, and acceptance. Michael opens with the profound Serenity Prayer, elegantly setting the tone for discussions on letting go and embracing peace through acceptance.Our dialogue delves deep into the biblical teachings on contentment and the spiritual wisdom of the 12-step program. Peter shares his transformative experiences, discovering strength in acknowledging powerlessness and trusting a greater power. Michael breaks down the "circle of control" and explores the mental and emotional shifts required for true detachment from outcomes.Together, we reflect on balancing brain functions to foster greater awareness and approach life with joy rather than stress. We also touch on the transformative impact of the 12-step practices in daily life, from personal prayer routines to handling emotional pain and judgment.Support the showENGAGE THE RESTORING THE SOUL PODCAST:- Follow us on YouTube - Tweet us at @michaeljcusick and @PodcastRTS- Like us on Facebook- Follow us on Instagram & Twitter- Follow Michael on Twitter- Email us at info@restoringthesoul.com Thanks for listening!
