Podcasts about Restraint

Annie Friday is joined this week by Guy Stephens, Executive Director for the Alliance Against Seclusion and Restraint. Guy shares some basics to what seclusion and restraint is, how they are used in schools, who is being hurt most, and the many variations of how scenarios can play out for young people, families, and educators. Guy and his organization are hoping that through their resources like their upcoming Beyond Behaviorism conference, their open book clubs, their live bi-monthly podcast, and their advocacy support, more educators and families will lean on the neuroscience, nervous system research, and relationship-centered strategies to address the unmet needs and lagging skills of the young people being otherwise subjected to these outdated and dangerous methods.

Spencer Martin of the Beyond the Peloton Newsletter and Andrew Vontz of the Choose the Hard Way Podcast/The Better Lab discuss how Tadej Pogačar's overly-aggressive racing allowed Mattias Skjelmose to pull off a shocking upset at Amstel Gold, and how his re-emergence at the mid-week Flèche Wallonne with far more conservative, and effective, tactics, potentially lays out a blueprint for even more dominance from him in the future, and tells us who will win Sunday's final spring Monument, Liège-Bastogne-Liège.This episode is brought to you by Join Cycling. ⁠⁠Get your first month free through this link⁠⁠Get Detailed Pro Cycling Analysis with the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Beyond the Peloton Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Choose the Hard Way Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Have you ever met someone who just won't stop talking—but the more they speak, the worse it gets? Welcome to The Daily, where we go through the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every single day. Today, we're looking at Ecclesiastes 10:12-15: The words of a wise man's mouth win him favor, but the lips of a fool consume him. The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness, and the end of his talk is evil madness. A fool multiplies words, though no man knows what is to be, and who can tell him what will be after him? The toil of a fool wearies him, for he does not know the way to the city. — Ecclesiastes 10:12-15 The Difference Between Words of Wisdom and Foolishness Words aren't just sounds—they shape our lives and relationships. Solomon draws a clear line between the wise and the foolish, showing us how our words can work for or against us. Three Wise Lessons About Words Words have power. They can build up or tear down. The wise gain favor because they choose their words carefully. The fool? His own words consume him. He talks himself into trouble. Foolish talk spirals downward. It starts as nonsense but ends in “evil madness.” Ever seen that happen? A small lie snowballs. A careless comment ruins a relationship. Foolishness left unchecked always leads to destruction. More words don't mean more wisdom. The fool keeps talking, acting like he knows it all—yet he can't even find his way to the city. He's lost but convinced he's the smartest guy in the room. What do your words say about you? Are they thoughtful and life-giving? Or reckless and exhausting? Wisdom begins with restraint—knowing when to speak and when to stay silent. Today, before you open your mouth, ask yourself: Will this build up or tear down? Lord, help me speak with wisdom and grace. Guard my tongue from foolishness, and give me discernment to know when to speak and when to stay silent. Amen. #WisdomInWords, #BiblicalTruth, #SpeakLife ASK THIS: How do your words impact those around you? When have you seen foolish talk spiral out of control? What practical step can you take to speak with more wisdom? How can you develop the habit of restraint in your speech? DO THIS: Pause before you speak today—ask yourself, “Will this build up or tear down?” PRAY THIS: Lord, help me to use my words with wisdom, bringing life and encouragement rather than destruction. Give me the discernment to know when to speak and when to remain silent. Amen. PLAY THIS: Words.

What's the best way for Democrats to show their opposition to President Trump's address to a joint session of Congress tonight? Well, for House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, the answer is clear: resist the temptation to stage dramatic disruptions. At a closed-door meeting, he reminded members that while the pressure from their base to protest is high, going overboard could backfire. Instead, he urged colleagues to keep their focus on the American people and maintain unity. While some Democrats are planning symbolic acts like wearing protest shirts and holding signs, others, like Reps. Maxine Waters and Jasmine Crockett, have opted out altogether, choosing to skip the address. Jeffries' message is that their opposition should not be a spectacle, but a statement, a chance to show that Trump's agenda isn't going unchallenged. Within the Democratic Party, the debate continues over how best to express their resistance. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

If you've ever wondered where to start when it comes to personal growth, this episode is your answer.Memorable Quotes“Cultivating self discipline is not about stifling a desire. It's about redirecting it gently into a more productive direction.”“There is a specific set of habits that is far superior.”“Vitrues are specific habits of excellence.”“Every [virtue] all of us have inside us. They just need to be activated… by practicing them.”“There's a freedom that comes from growing in self-discipline, because instead of being a prey to whatever desire that you have, you're in charge.”“For an adult who's looking at harmless social media, the problem is you are wasting your desire to know on stuff that is not going to help you.”Key TakeawaysThe Four Pillars of Success.

The Strength of Restraint: Lessons from David and Jesus The Homily reflects on a challenging Gospel passage that urges . . . . . . believers to transcend the natural human desire for revenge and vindication. Using the Old Testament story of David sparing King Saul's life as an example, the Homily highlights the importance of choosing mercy over retaliation, even when given the power to strike back. This message is reinforced by Jesus' teachings, which challenge his followers to go beyond basic goodness and be truly set apart through acts of patience, mercy, and generosity. Jesus calls his disciples to a higher standard—not just loving friends and family but also showing kindness to enemies and responding to hostility with grace. The Homily illustrates how unchecked anger and resentment diminish a person's character, emphasizing that true strength lies in restraint and forgiveness. St. Joseph Custom The Homily concludes with a call to generosity, tying it to the tradition of the St. Joseph Altar, where food donations symbolize an abundance of kindness and concern for those in need.

Following the South’s catastrophic loss at Gettysburg in the American Civil War (1863), General Robert E. Lee led his battered troops back to southern territory. Heavy rains flooded the Potomac River, blocking his retreat. President Abraham Lincoln urged General George Meade to attack. But Meade’s men were just as weary as Lee’s. He rested his troops. Lincoln picked up his quill and wrote a letter in which he confessed he was “distressed immeasurably” at Meade’s reluctance to pursue Lee. On the envelope are these words in the president’s handwriting: “To Gen. Meade, never sent, or signed.” And indeed, it never was. Long before Lincoln, another great leader grasped the importance of reining in our emotions. Anger, no matter how justified, is a dangerously powerful force. “Do you see someone who speaks in haste?” King Solomon asked. “There is more hope for a fool than for them” (Proverbs 29:20). Solomon knew that “by justice a king gives a country stability” (v. 4). He also understood that “fools give full vent to their rage, but the wise bring calm in the end” (v. 11). And in the end, not sending that letter prevented Lincoln from demoralizing his top general, helped win a necessary war, and contributed to the healing of a nation. We do well to learn from examples like his of wise restraint.
