Podcasts about rhythms

In this week's powerful episode of WINNERS FIND A WAY, host Trent M. Clark sits down with Dr. Malik Muhammad — leadership speaker, author, and founder of DrMalikSpeaks.com — for a deep, heartfelt conversation about what it truly means to be the leader we need in today's divided world. From the classroom to the boardroom, Malik brings decades of insight as a school founder, international speaker, and author of The Restorative Journey and We Can Save Our Boys of Color. His upcoming book, Being the Leader We Need, explores how leadership begins with humanity, connection, and belonging. Together, Trent and Malik dig into: Why moral authority and followership are essential to real leadership. How “Connection + Challenge = Change” becomes a life formula for growth. The 4 R's of Ubuntu — Rituals, Roles, Rhythms, and Repair — and how they build belonging. Why we should replace “problems” with “challenges” to inspire progress, not paralysis. What global travel teaches us about humility, leadership, and shared humanity. How hip hop, literature, and culture reflect both pain and purpose. Malik's stories — from transforming a failing school to redefining what leadership looks like in modern communities — will challenge how you think about power, purpose, and connection. Trent also shares his reflections on drift — how easy it is to get one degree off course as leaders — and the importance of having truth-tellers around you who “chin-check” you back to center. This one's for every leader, parent, and builder of people who believes we can still create a world led by principle, purpose, and people who care enough to do the hard work of repair.

Send us a textHow artificial light impacts female menstrual cycles and their relationship to lunar cycles of the moon.Summary: Dr. Förster talks about how biological clocks, including circadian, tidal, lunar, and annual cycles, regulate behaviors in various species, with a focus on lunar cycle effects on human menstrual cycles. They explore historical and modern data suggesting that menstrual cycles may synchronize with lunar phases, a phenomenon potentially disrupted by modern artificial lighting, particularly blue light from LEDs post-2010. The conversation also covers circadian rhythm mechanisms in fruit flies and humans, highlighting the role of light and neuropeptides in maintaining biological synchrony.About guest: Charlotte Förster, PhD is a senior professor at the University of Würzburg specializing in chronobiology, particularly circadian rhythms in fruit flies, and has recently explored lunar cycle influences on human menstrual cycles.Discussion Points:Biological Clocks: Various clocks (circadian, tidal, lunar, annual) regulate behaviors; circadian clocks manage 24-hour cycles, while lunar clocks influence reproduction in marine species like corals and Christmas Island crabs.Lunar Cycle & Menstruation: Historical data (pre-2010) showed many women's menstrual cycles synchronized with lunar phases (full or new moon), but this decreased post-2010, possibly due to blue light from LEDs disrupting biological rhythms.Blue Light Impact: Blue light from modern devices mimics daylight, potentially desynchronizing circadian and lunar clocks, with melanopsin in the eyes playing a key role in light sensitivity.Winter Synchronization: Menstrual cycle synchrony with lunar phases is stronger in winter, particularly January, possibly due to brighter moonlight or gravitational effects when Earth is closest to the Sun.Circadian Mechanisms: In fruit flies, 240 neurons manage circadian rhythms via clock genes with a 24-hour feedback loop, conserved in humans, where neuropeptides regulate slower, sustained rhythms.Health Implications: Disrupted circadian rhythms can desynchronize body clocks, impacting digestion, immunity, and increasing risks of cardiovascular issues, obesity, and cancer.Lifestyle Tips: To maintain synchrony, maximize daytime light exposure, minimize nighttime blue light, time meals appropriately, and exercise during the day, not late at night.Reference paper:Study: Synchronization of women's menstruation with the Moon hasSupport the showAffiliates: Seed Oil Scout: Find restaurants with seed oil-free options, scan food products to see what they're hiding, with this easy-to-use mobile app. KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + electrolytes formulated for kidney health.

How can Christians pursue justice, lead with integrity and stay spiritually grounded in a divided and demanding world? In this honest and theologically rich episode, Pastor Mike Kelsey of McLean Bible Church shares how staying rooted in the character of God helps him navigate polarization, burnout and the challenges of leadership. For Mike Kelsey, pursuing justice isn't an optional add-on — it's an essential expression of discipleship based on God's character. In this conversation with NAE President Walter Kim, Mike offers an honest reflection on what it's been like to pastor through the cultural upheaval of recent years, and about the pressure that comes from trying to meet countless expectations. True rest, he says, doesn't come from striving or disengaging, but from being deeply centered on seeking God's approval above all else. You'll also hear Mike and Walter discuss: How practicing intentional Sabbath rhythms and setting boundaries with social media creates space for renewal and clarity; The influence of the Black Church tradition on Mike Kelsey's understanding of justice;  How McLean Bible Church is pursuing gospel-centered justice through foster care, disability ministry and racial equity; and Practical wisdom for navigating justice fatigue, ministry burnout and deep cultural division. Subscribe today wherever you listen to podcasts.Do you like the podcast?Give us a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts and leave us a review.

In session 3, we examine what things are necessary for our family to put tech in its proper place.

At Redeemer, our pathway is how we seek to embody our vision and mission, or in other words, put it into practice. We desire every person to enter into intentional apprenticeship to Jesus, to be in a diverse, loving community, and to live in Wichita as witnesses. “The Church exists for nothing else but to draw men and women into Christ, to make them little Christs. If they are not doing that, all the cathedrals, clergy, missions, sermons, even the Bible itself, are simply a waste of time. God became man for no other purpose.” – CS Lewis At Redeemer, we take seriously Jesus' call to “Go and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” Apprenticeship to Jesus is not a one time decision, but a lifelong journey of following Jesus as our master-teacher. Since the goal of the Christian life is maturity in Jesus, apprenticeship must be deep and holistic, transforming the spiritual, physical, emotional, social, and vocational parts of men and women. Apprenticeship to Jesus is learning to practice the way of Jesus in our homes, relationships, neighborhoods, and jobs. We believe Christlikeness is cultivated as we implement spiritual practices, live in community with other believers, and submit to the Word and the Spirit. We agree with Dallas Willard who said, “that the gospel is opposed to earning, not effort.” As we move towards cultivating a life of loving God and people, we trust Christ will mature us into his likeness.  https://redeemerwichita.church/

In this episode of Clutter Free Academy, Kathi Lipp and co-host Tonya Kubo unpack the Ulysses rule—making a decision in a calm moment to protect your tired future self—and apply it to everyday decluttering. If you've ever believed your future self will “feel like it later,” this conversation is your gentle wake-up call. Kathi shares real-life “tie yourself to the mast” strategies: put your keys in the lunch bag so you don't forget it, lay clothes on the bed so they must be put away before sleep, schedule regular donation pickups to create a decluttering deadline, and use grocery pickup, batch cooking, and a small rice cooker to simplify meals and reduce decision fatigue. Tonya adds her own accountability and evening wind-down moves that make mornings smoother for the whole family. Listeners are invited into an easy win: the Junk Drawer Challenge.

The redemption found in the blood of Jesus and the promise of eternity with Him are immeasurable gifts; however, they also serve as an invitation that we must extend to those who desperately need Him. We cannot keep Him to ourselves. This week, we conclude our series, "Rhythms of a First-Love Church", with Part 5: "Witness to the World". What does it mean to be a witness for the Kingdom of God, and how can we faithfully live this out as a church?

Routines can be a lifeline for neurodivergent brains — creating safety, reducing decision fatigue, and bringing balance to daily life. But when structure becomes too rigid, it can tip into pressure and burnout. In this episode of Mindful Mondays with Ashley Bentley, we explore how to build supportive routines that steady you without imprisoning you, weaving in rhythm and play so life feels both grounded and alive. You'll also be guided through a soothing meditation that helps you reimagine your routines as flexible, life-giving scaffolding — steady enough to hold you, soft enough to bend.✨ Connect with Ashley:

9/28 Daily Rhythm of Prayer & Scripture SCRIPTURE: Philippians 4:4-9 “And the God of peace will be with you.” DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: Have you thought that because you are a follower of Jesus, your life would be easier, more blessed, or have less suffering or worry? Where does that belief come from? How does Jesus address that in John 16:33? What anxieties did Paul face in his ministry? Read 2 Corinthians 11:23-30. What does Paul say is the pressure he feels above all? Paul says at the end of v. 5 that, “The Lord is near.” Do you think he is quoting Psalm 145.18? How does Paul's reminder of the nearness of the Lord relate to his encouragement to rejoice and give thanks (v. 4) and to not be anxious (v. 6)? Think of the worries and concerns that you are facing. Which ones are of people you see in person in your life? Which ones come primarily through technology, screens, and social media? How does technology impact your anxiety levels? Think of a time you have experienced God's peace with you. What did it feel like? Paul says it is peace that transcends understanding. In John 14:27 Jesus says his peace is not as the world gives. How have you experienced God's peace in that way? What does Paul mean when he says that the peace of God will “guard your hearts and your minds”? We use that phrase from Scripture each week when the priest prays the blessing at the end of the service. How do you participate in that blessing? What does it mean to you? How might the rhythm of the Daily Office & Lectionary help you get out of anxious rhythms and into the rhythms of Jesus and his peace? Bible scholar Gordon Fee says, “Even though the experience of God's peace happens first of all at the individual level…for Paul peace is primarily a community matter.” What would it look like to be a household or church full of peace in the midst of our anxious world? PRAYER PRACTICE: Pick a time this week to try the daily office and lectionary on your own or with a friend. Ask Jesus for his peace as you pray. Turn Philippians 4:4-6 into a prayer: Lord, I am anxious. Help me not be anxious about anything, but in this situation_________, help me pray and ask for what I need from you: here are my requests____________. God, thank you for these good things I can see in my life _________. Fill me with your peace, God, which transcends all my understanding, and guard my heart and my mind in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Have you ever felt lost in prayer, unsure how to connect with God? In this illuminating message, Pastor Blake unveils the transformative power of "Sacred Conversation," showing how Jesus' model of prayer isn't just a ritual—it's an invitation to authentic relationship with our Heavenly Father. Through practical insights from Luke 11, he reveals how prayer becomes a life-giving rhythm when we embrace its priority, pattern, and persistence. Whether you're a seasoned prayer warrior or just beginning your journey, this message offers fresh perspective on turning daily moments into sacred encounters. Don't miss this opportunity to discover how prayer can become your natural response rather than your last resort.

At Redeemer, our pathway is how we seek to embody our vision and mission, or in other words, put it into practice. We desire every person to enter into intentional apprenticeship to Jesus, to be in a diverse, loving community, and to live in Wichita as witnesses. “The Church exists for nothing else but to draw men and women into Christ, to make them little Christs. If they are not doing that, all the cathedrals, clergy, missions, sermons, even the Bible itself, are simply a waste of time. God became man for no other purpose.” – CS Lewis At Redeemer, we take seriously Jesus' call to “Go and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” Apprenticeship to Jesus is not a one time decision, but a lifelong journey of following Jesus as our master-teacher. Since the goal of the Christian life is maturity in Jesus, apprenticeship must be deep and holistic, transforming the spiritual, physical, emotional, social, and vocational parts of men and women. Apprenticeship to Jesus is learning to practice the way of Jesus in our homes, relationships, neighborhoods, and jobs. We believe Christlikeness is cultivated as we implement spiritual practices, live in community with other believers, and submit to the Word and the Spirit. We agree with Dallas Willard who said, “that the gospel is opposed to earning, not effort.” As we move towards cultivating a life of loving God and people, we trust Christ will mature us into his likeness.  https://redeemerwichita.church/  

We live in a culture that applauds busyness and rewards hustle—but our daughters are quietly paying the price. Exhausted schedules, constant connectivity, and the unspoken demand to always “do more” are burning out today's girls long before adulthood.  In this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Melissa Bearden pull back the curtain on one of the greatest needs in our homes: true Sabbath rest. Far from being an outdated ritual or just “a Sunday nap,” Sabbath is God's gift to His people—a rhythm of renewal that restores body, mind, and soul.  You'll also hear American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Emeritus, Patti Garibay, share a powerful Raising Godly Girls Minute reminding us that if God Himself rested after creation, our daughters certainly need space to rest too.  Rachael and Melissa then unpack how families can reclaim this rhythm with practical, joy-filled ideas—from setting up a Sabbath Shelf to creating “Selah moments” at the dinner table. Together, they show how Sabbath is not something to squeeze in when everything else is done, but the very starting point for a life of peace, faith, and flourishing.  When moms model rest as worship, daughters learn that their worth is not tied to achievement, but to abiding in Christ. This episode will encourage you to build a home where rest isn't rare—it's the culture.  This Week's Reminders:  God made her for rest  Your rest sets the pace  Rest is worship  Scripture References:  Mark 2:27  John 15:4  Genesis 2:2–3  Exodus 20:8–11  Psalm 46:10  Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com. To find or start an AHG Troop in your area, visit americanheritagegirls.org.

On episode 113 of the Planet LP podcast, host Ted Asregadoo welcomes guest John Maschino to dive deep into the world of protest songs. While many immediately think of the 1960s, this episode explores how rebellious anthems have evolved and continue to be a powerful force in music. From the satirical observations of Devo's "Beautiful World" to the deeply personal liberation in Chappell Roan's "Pink Pony Club," and the unflinching social commentary of Childish Gambino's "This is America" and Public Enemy's "Fight the Power," this episode covers a wide range of musical rebellion. Ted and John also discuss examples of religious rebellion, such as The Lovestrange's "Hey Now, People," along with economic injustice in Oliver Anthony's "Rich Men North of Richmond," the fight for marriage equality in The Gossip's "Standing in the Way of Control," and the broader landscape of protest in the music of Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé, and more. Jump right into a deep discussion on the intersection of music, change, and rebellion. Planet LP's sponsor is Steve Fox's Old School.

In this episode, Erin Lynam joins the conversation to share a powerful perspective on rest—why God created it, how we see it modeled in scripture, and even how creation itself points us to rhythms of work and rest. Erin is a certified master naturalist and the host of the Nat Theo kids' podcast, which blends science and theology in ways the whole family can enjoy. She explains how rhythms in nature—like hibernation, dormancy, and even the patterns of trees—reveal God's intentional design for us to embrace Sabbath. Together, we talk about the cultural lies that view rest as laziness, the struggle of slowing down in hustle culture, and how choosing to rest is actually an act of faith that God will keep things moving even when we stop. Whether you're a mom, an entrepreneur, or someone trying to find peace in a busy world, this conversation will encourage you to see rest not as optional, but as essential for your soul, your family, and your faith. This episode is brought to you by our sponsors: Olive App and Angel Studios.
