Podcasts about rhythms

Why are teens and young adults suddenly drawn to reading, crocheting, sewing, walking, and other so-called "grandma hobbies"? In this episode of Facing the Dark, Wayne Stender and Dr. Kathy Koch explore why slower, quieter pastimes are resurfacing, and why they matter deeply for identity formation. Dr. Kathy explains how hobbies cultivate joy, perseverance, reflection, and self-awareness in a culture driven by speed, comparison, and constant stimulation. Together, they unpack the difference between fleeting happiness and lasting joy, why self-awareness is underdeveloped in today's noisy world, and how practices like crafting, reading, and walking help kids learn to be comfortable with their own thoughts. Grounded in Luke 2 and the ordinary rhythms of Jesus' early life, this conversation encourages parents to reintroduce quiet, purposeful activities, not as escape from life, but as a way for kids to inhabit it more fully.

Pastor Sam Fleurry teaches “1 Is the Loneliest Number” as part of the Rhythms series, calling the church back to the spiritual rhythm of community. From Mark 2:1–12, he shows how godly community carries us to Jesus, covers our needs, cultivates our faith, and celebrates God's healing work. This message challenges isolation and individualism, emphasizing that accountability and connection are essential for spiritual growth and lasting transformation.Click here to view the episode transcript.

Listening isn't just a communication skill - it's a leadership practice.In this episode of Strength in Numbers, we explore The Rhythm of Listening, part of the Quiet Strength: 12 Rhythms for Rest, Reflection, and Renewal series. Quiet leaders often lead through presence, attentiveness, and thoughtful engagement rather than volume or urgency - and listening plays a powerful role in how trust is built.Using the Enneagram's communication stances, Jilann unpacks how different personalities naturally listen - and where listening can quietly break down under pressure or good intentions.In this episode, you'll learn:How Withdrawn, Dependent/Compliant, and Assertive stances each approach listeningCommon growth edges that can limit connection without us realizing itSimple awareness shifts that help quiet leaders listen with more humility, patience, and intentionThis episode offers practical reflection and gentle practices to help you move from listening to respond… to listening to understand.Whether you lead in your workplace, your community, or your relationships, this rhythm invites you to slow down, stay present, and steward conversations well.Ready for more?

Send us a textIf faith has started to feel heavier than life-giving, you're not alone AND you're not doing it wrong.In this foundational episode, Amy defines what Wholehearted living really means and, just as importantly, what it does not mean. This conversation is for the faithful, disciplined woman who has kept showing up… but is quietly tired of spiritual intensity that burns her out instead of forming her.Wholehearted living isn't hype, it doesn't strive out of fear, and it doesn't happen from trying harder.It's a formation process that begins with belovedness, not responsibility, and unfolds slowly through perseverance, wisdom, and grace.In this episode, you'll explore:Why some “old” approaches to spiritual growth stop working over time.How Scripture names divided, weary, and broken hearts, without shame.What it means to love God with your whole heart, mind, and strength without fragmentation.Why do rhythms spiritually form you more deeply than striving or big emotional moments?How discipline can be reordered around love instead of fear or pressure.This episode lays the foundation for the podcast's themes: Enneagram, rhythms, storywork, and a slower, more intentional journey of spiritual formation throughout the year.If you've been longing for growth that doesn't exhaust you, faith that doesn't demand certainty, and transformation that honors your story, then this conversation is for you.Support the showRESOURCES FOR YOU: Book a High-Value Clarity Call with Amy Wicks https://www.simplywholehearted.com/callamywicks Not sure about your Enneagram Type?

Send us a textWhat does a GRAMMY nomination really mean anymore?In this episode of the Riffs n Rhythms Podcast, Kev and Paul take a deep dive into this year's GRAMMY nominations and compare them to the nominees from 40 years ago—and the contrast sparks a real conversation about music, legacy, and how the industry has changed.From We Are the World, Money for Nothing, and The Boys of Summer to today's chart-dominating tracks, we break down songwriting, genre shifts, production trends, and whether modern hits have the same staying power as the classics. Is music evolving—or just being consumed differently?This isn't a rant or a nostalgia trip. It's an honest, thoughtful discussion about artistry, streaming culture, award credibility, and what defines “great music” across generations 

Hola Amiga,  In today's first episode of our new series of The Art of Daily Rhythms, we explore the process of entering our own lives with intention—the desire to be fully present with God, with ourselves, and with others. This is an invitation into formation: allowing God to gently shape our lives into the wholeness and health He designed from the beginning. Together, we reflect on what it means to notice God in both the ordinary and the extraordinary moments of daily life. Rather than striving or fixing, this rhythm is about attentiveness, surrender, and trust—learning how to live awake to God's presence as He forms us in quiet, faithful ways. This episode sets the foundation for a journey into spiritual rhythms, holy habits, and a slower, more intentional way of walking with God each day. We are excited about this series & we hope you are too!  Love,  Your Amigas   Connect with us:  Instagram: @Amigaarise  https://www.instagram.com/amigaarise/ Facebook: @Amiga Arise https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100083723596616 Email: Amigaarise@gmail.com Website: https://www.amigaarise.com

Chrissy outlines the kind of worship that pleases God: unity-driven devotion, Spirit-filled praise, Bible-centered proclamation, and a heart-connected response that leads to obedience and transformation.

I will never doubt Emma again. ...I will doubt Emma again. I wonder if she's ever had giardiniera. Do you think she's Chicagoan? Or Italian? I mean she sounds American, but, I can't narrow down more than that. I do feel Midwest, because the Midwest is generally a pretty neutral accent. And maybe I shouldn't be guessing at all- Emma doesn't want to be found. And I will respect that.

Let's get my husband Dan Martell's perspective of our worldschooling tour. Today we're chatting about our worldschooling experience so far, including what we've learned, how we've changed, and where we are now. This journey has taught us so much about ourselves, our relationship, and our parenting. Through it all, we've both grown in our own ways. Prioritizing our kids' education has been a big part of this journey. You'll hear how we make the schooling part work without getting worn out, especially when we're changing locations often. In this episode, you will learn about: How our worldschooling adventure is going and what the challenges are. The skill of "I don't care" and how it's impacted us. Why it might actually be the worst time for us to take our boys worldschooling. The habits that have helped us thrive when we're traveling (especially when it's hard). How getting quiet when the world is chaotic helps us navigate difficulties. How we go about making decisions much differently and why it works. The best things this worldschooling experience has taught our kids. How our kids utilize AI for their education (without cheating).     Get 10% off your Sage Haus House Manager today!

Pastor Caleb Cole begins the Rhythms series with a message titled “The Word.” Teaching from Acts 2:42, he explains why devotion to Scripture is the foundation for worship, unity, discernment, and a healthy church. Rather than chasing hype or emotion, this episode invites believers to embrace consistent rhythms rooted in God's Word that lead to lasting spiritual growth.

As we step into the new year, I'm sharing the simple routines and rhythms my husband Zane and I are intentionally pursuing together. From morning habits that help us follow through on workouts to evening bedtime rhythms, we're focusing on creating steady routines that support our health and home. We're also being more intentional about family time with our kids and grandkids, and more thoughtful about what we say yes and no to in this season of life.  I hope these rhythms and routines encourage you to find what works best for you, your spouse, and your family, helping you live with less stress and more intentionality.   LINKS & RESOURCES MENTIONED: The 5AM Club by Robin Sharma Habits of High Performers by James Laughlin AG1 Full Foundation Stack Bundle AG1 Next Gen Pouch AG Vitamin D3+K2 AG Omega3   WHERE TO LISTEN The SavvyCast is available on all podcasting platforms and YouTube.

What if 2026 doesn't begin with rushing, striving, or another long list of resolutions—but with rest? ✨ In this New Year's Day episode of Mom2Mom Mentoring, Misty offers a refreshing and hope-filled invitation for Christian moms who are tired of starting the year already exhausted. Instead of pushing harder, this episode explores how beginning with rest—God's way—can set the foundation for your most aligned and life-giving year yet.

In this episode, Dr. Karen Esser Professor and Chair of the Department of Physiology and Aging at the University of Florida joins the crew to break down one of the most overlooked performance variables in human physiology: circadian timing. After a career spent studying muscle adaptation, Dr. Esser shifted her research toward the molecular clocks inside our tissues, uncovering how every cell in the body keeps its own time. She explains how these clocks govern fuel storage, protein repair, metabolic readiness, and ultimately the way muscle responds to training. The team digs into what these clocks do, how they synchronize, and why misalignment affects everything from daily performance to long-term health. The conversation dives deep into time-of-day effects on strength, endurance, and adaptation. Dr. Esser highlights that humans are consistently stronger and more explosive in the afternoon, a pattern reflected in Olympic records and decades of performance data. But her lab's animal research reveals something game changing: consistent morning training can shift the internal clock system, allowing morning athletes to achieve equal or even better adaptations after several weeks, despite using lower absolute training loads. She also explains how travel, jet lag, and mistimed eating disrupt organ specific clocks, reducing performance and creating metabolic consequences similar to pre-diabetes. The crew tests these ideas against real world training habits, coaching experience, and what happens when athletes switch from evening to early morning training. Finally, Dr. Esser unpacks the broader health implications of circadian disruption from increased risk of metabolic disease and cardiovascular dysfunction to higher rates of depression and cancer in chronically misaligned shift workers. She outlines simple, actionable strategies: anchor your sleep and training times, keep eating within a roughly 10 hour window, avoid late night calories, and arrive early when competing across time zones. The conversation closes with practical takeaways for athletes, coaches, and everyday lifters who want to maximize adaptation, improve metabolic health, and align their biology with the rhythms built into every cell.

Welcome to Day 2765 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2765 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 104:10-23 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2765 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2765 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. The title for today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Domesticated Chaos – Water, Wine, and the Rhythms of Life. Today, we continue our exploration of the magnificent Psalm One Hundred Four, trekking through the middle section, verses ten through twenty-three, in the New Living Translation. In our previous trek through the opening verses of this psalm, we witnessed Yahweh as the Cosmic Architect. We saw Him robed in light, stretching out the heavens like a tent, and riding the storm clouds as His personal chariot. We saw Him rebuke the primeval chaos waters—the Tehom—driving them back with a shout of thunder to establish the dry land. That was a picture of Power and Conquest, establishing order over chaos. But today, the tone shifts from the dramatic to the domestic. Once the house is built, it must be furnished and supplied. In this section, the psalmist shows us that the very waters God rebuked in verse seven have now been tamed. They are no longer a threatening flood covering the mountains; they are now a life-giving gift flowing between the mountains. We will see God not just as the Builder, but as the Provider and the Timekeeper. He is the Host of a vibrant, teeming world where wild donkeys, nesting birds, roaring lions, and laboring humans all find their place and their portion from His hand. This is a celebration of the ecosystem of grace. So, let us walk by the quiet waters and through the green pastures of God's creation. The first segment is: The Taming of the Waters: Drink for the Wild. Psalm One Hundred Four: verses ten through twelve. You make springs pour into the ravines, so streams gush down from the mountains.  They provide water for all the animals, and the wild donkeys quench their thirst.  The birds nest beside the streams and sing among the branches of the trees. The psalmist begins by revisiting the element of water. In verses six through nine, water was a chaotic force that needed to be bounded. But now, in verse ten, God has domesticated it: "You make springs pour into the ravines, so streams gush down from the mountains." This is a profound theological statement. In the Divine Council worldview, the sea often represented hostility and death. But here, Yahweh transforms the chaotic element into a servant of life. He channels the water into "springs" (ma'yan) and "ravines" (nachal). He creates an irrigation system for the earth. And notice who the first beneficiaries are. It isn't humans. "They provide water for all the animals, and the wild donkeys quench their thirst." God cares for the "wild donkeys"...

Mary Yuzovskaya runs her set like an old but reliable steam engine locomotive. Except this train is going to Hogwarts. Mary is a responsible conductor, making sure everyone is on board, getting their bodies going at a steady pace, warming up the system for what's to come. Later. Her sound lives in a hypnotic but assertive space. The hypnotic part comes from steady patterns that loop and settle into the body. Rhythms that repeat long enough to quiet the thinking mind. You are not distracted by constant changes. The groove stays in place and draws you in through consistency. The whole Monument family is dancing in sync. Looking as good as ever. High in energy and anticipation. And then. The sky opens. But, we have our best lasers ON, saved for this occasion, saturday night, they weren't used on friday at all, and when the pouring rain hits the upgraded lasers, we have a million diamonds falling towards us. The crowd roars. Celebrates what nature throws at us. Surrenders to its will. No one left the dancefloor to seek refuge in their tents. No one. Mary Yuzovskaya responds... If you were there, you know that this was the start to what can only be described as the Champions League of festival night shifts. With Yuzovskaya, Pacho and Doltz seemingly playing one after another. Mary's job was to get the crowd going, but at the same time leave room for more. She delivered.

Life is shaped by rhythms that form who we become. Rhythms of Grace is an ongoing series that explores spiritual practices to help us grow in faith and experience God's presence. These disciplines—such as prayer, Sabbath, fasting, and more —aren't about earning God's love, but about living more fully in it. Each message will unpack a practice and provide practical tools to help you put it into action. In a world of hurry and distraction, these rhythms help us slow down and re-center on what matters most. As we follow Jesus, these practices shape us, both individually and collectively as the church, into His image.

The post Rhythms – Part 1 appeared first on Redemption's Hill Church.

If you have ADHD and sleep feels like a constant struggle, you're not imagining it—and you're definitely not alone. Research shows that 70–80% of adults with ADHD have chronic sleep problems, most commonly falling asleep too late and being unable to shift earlier, no matter how hard they try. For many of us, this pattern starts in childhood and is deeply tied to our biology.In this solo episode, I explain why ADHD brains are wired for later sleep, how “social jetlag” (early school and work schedules) creates ongoing sleep debt, and why so many ADHD adults are surviving on 5–6 hours of sleep when our brains actually need more. The tricky part? The symptoms of sleep deprivation—poor focus, low motivation, memory issues, irritability, and emotional dysregulation—look almost identical to ADHD itself.We dive into chronotherapy, a science-based approach that works with your circadian rhythm instead of fighting it. I break down how light exposure, strategic timing, and gentle sleep-wake adjustments can help regulate your internal clock without perfectionism or rigid routines.And yes—we talk about sunlight. Morning light is one of the most powerful (and overlooked) tools for ADHD regulation. I share how light therapy glasses, sun lamps, melatonin, and intentional light exposure can support better sleep, better focus, and a calmer nervous system overall.If you've been blaming yourself for sleep issues your brain never signed up for, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and a much more realistic path forward.Watch this episode on YouTubeWant help with your ADHD?

Do you feel called to build a business, but are unsure how to do it with God instead of just for Him? Maybe you feel the nudge to step into Kingdom entrepreneurship, but you don't know what it actually looks like to steward a business biblically, not just practically. In this episode, I'm sharing a special training I taught for the Kingdom Impact Summit—created specifically for faith-led entrepreneurs who want to build and grow with God at the center. You'll learn what it means to lead as a Kingdom CEO, why worldly strategy alone will never sustain you, and how daily surrender becomes the foundation of true success. We'll walk through four powerful rhythms that will help you steward your business wisely and follow a biblical roadmap as a Kingdom CEO ready to move forward with clarity and purpose.   I pray this blesses you!   Ready to Make Consistent Income From a Podcast?  Join my 5-Day Profitable Podcast Bootcamp!
