In this episode A.J. dives into the nuts and bolts of what makes writing good or bad. In Graeme's words, this episode was "shorter than it felt." So . . . buckle up for fun.

Matt Hanson is the founder of Aion Path and president of the National Rite of Passage Council, a coalition of Christian leaders working to make intentional rites of passage a normal part of raising children in the church. Aion Path is a three-year journey designed for fathers and their 12–14-year-old sons or daughters to walk together toward physical, emotional, and spiritual adulthood. Other recent interviews with Matt describe the program as intentionally making fathers and children co-learners, rather than requiring Dad to arrive as the expert with all the answers. 1K HousesBut this conversation with Ned Schaut goes well beyond the program Matt created. At 60, married nearly 35 years, with three adult children and grandchildren, Matt talks about what it means to organize your life around the relationships you hope to have decades from now.---------Got a teenage son coming of age?

Dr. T welcomes ceremonial transpersonal counselor Michael Gueron, founder of Kintu Worlds, for a conversation about combat trauma, ayahuasca, ceremonial practice, and the responsibilities involved in creating safe medicine spaces. Michael describes how military service profoundly altered his sense of self and how the loss of a fellow soldier affected his unit. After leaving the military, the symptoms of PTSD became increasingly apparent, eventually contributing to a longer search for healing. His introduction to ayahuasca in Australia became an important point in that process and ultimately led to years of personal medicine work and ceremonial facilitation. Michael and Dr. T explore the cultural dimensions of ayahuasca practice and the complexities that arise as traditional medicine moves beyond its original cultural contexts. Michael argues that different cultures bring distinct psychological patterns, histories, and ways of relating into ceremony, requiring facilitators to understand the people they serve rather than simply reproduce another culture's practices. The conversation also examines Michael's approach to ceremonial safety, including clear boundaries, protection, presence, self-knowledge, and what he describes as working from the heart. For Michael, the heart is not associated with sentimentality, but with clarity, embodied presence, and an immediate capacity to perceive what is occurring within a ceremonial space. Dr. T and Michael consider what these perspectives might mean as psychedelic therapy increasingly brings clinical psychotherapy into contact with ceremonial and spiritual frameworks. They discuss tensions between medical models and traditional approaches, the importance of ethical standards among underground practitioners, and the possibility of greater collaboration among ceremonial communities. Michael also reflects on mortality, friendship, community, and the relationships that help people endure difficult periods of life. His experiences of combat and trauma inform a perspective in which medicine work is not only concerned with individual transformation, but also with cultivating connection, responsibility, kindness, and meaningful participation in community. “You know, and this is medicine of friendship. You know, cultivate that friendship, that support. And that's what keeps us strong; and have a listening ear. Listen. We don't have to say so much. Just listen and be kind to each other, and that's it.” — Michael Gueron About Michael Gueron: Michael's journey began in Israel, where early life experiences, including military service as a member of the Israeli Paratroopers, left deep emotional wounds. Overcoming the trauma of these intense combat experiences led Michael to a profound healing journey spanning over 15 years. From studying transpersonal counseling, Shiatsu, and oriental therapies, to immersing himself in sacred plant medicine traditions in Peru and Brazil, Michael's path has been one of relentless transformation. His work with Australian acacias and master plants like Ayahuasca and Huachuma has awakened profound soul memories and a deep commitment to service. Today, Michael has facilitated thousands of individuals in their healing journeys, combining ancient wisdom with compassionate care. All Things Ayahuasca podcast Website: KintuWorlds.com Key Moments: [00:00:00] Introduction and Content Warning Truth Fairy and Dr. T open the episode with a content warning and information about supporting Punk Therapy and upcoming training opportunities. [00:02:26] Meet Michael Gueron Dr. T introduces ceremonial transpersonal counselor Michael Gueron and his background in trauma healing, meditation, traditional practices, and plant medicine. [00:05:04] Stepping Out of the Shadows Michael discusses his preference for working quietly behind the scenes and why he believes sharing knowledge publicly is increasingly important. [00:07:16] Combat Trauma and the Path to Ayahuasca Michael describes military service in Israel, his experience of PTSD, and the healing journey that eventually brought him to ayahuasca. [00:10:43] Art, Nature, and Life Before the Military Michael reflects on his early connection to creativity, nature, animals, and the landscape before entering military service. [00:13:59] Military Service as a Rite of Passage Michael explores how military training, combat, loss, and the bonds between soldiers fundamentally changed his sense of self. [00:18:48] Culture and the Western Psyche Michael and Dr. T examine how ayahuasca is moving across cultures and why different cultural and ancestral contexts shape medicine experiences. [00:23:55] Boundaries and Ceremonial Safety The conversation turns to the importance of clarity, boundaries, protection, and strong containment when facilitating medicine ceremonies. [00:28:51] Where Therapy Meets Ceremonial Practice Dr. T and Michael consider what conventional psychotherapy may encounter as psychedelic therapy increasingly intersects with spiritual and ceremonial experiences. [00:33:51] What It Means to Work From the Heart Michael distinguishes embodied presence and clarity from sentimental ideas of the heart and explains their importance in his ceremonial practice. [00:37:17] Perception and Presence in Ceremony Michael describes his auditory and intuitive ways of tracking what is occurring for individuals and within the wider ceremonial space. [00:42:25] Working Across Cultures and Worldviews Michael discusses ancestry, cultural understanding, human connection, and finding common ground when working with people from different backgrounds. [00:46:35] Mortality, Fear, and Meaning Michael reflects on encounters with death and how awareness of mortality can change the way people understand fear, life, and medicine work. [00:48:59] The Future of Ayahuasca and Psychedelic Medicine Dr. T and Michael discuss legalization, medical models, ceremonial traditions, and possible pathways toward greater recognition of ayahuasca practice. [00:58:14] Friendship, Community, and Kindness Michael closes with a call for connection, listening, friendship, and simple acts of kindness as forms of medicine within communities. __ Contact Punk Therapy: Patreon: Patreon.com/PunkTherapy Website: PunkTherapy.com Email: info@punktherapy.com Contact Truth Fairy: Email: Truth@PunkTherapy.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

After a long break I am back. In this episode I sit down with Fr. Zac Danbako to talk about the beauty of the Catholic faith.  We will discuss the beauty of Sundays and the Mass and the liturgies of the Rite of Baptism and Matrimony.  Also, we talk about the beauty of the community of the Catholic Church.  Hope you enjoy the episode.

The house has stopped hiding. Now it's just waiting for them to get tired. Three days. That was the rule, and Shivam and Brajesh are already inside it — cameras running, recorders rolling, gathering proof in a place where proof changes its mind. By the second morning, the one thing they were counting on has failed them: daylight. Whatever lives in this house has never agreed that night is when it works.Then the house begins to fill. A couple move through their evening routine in rooms that have stood empty for twenty years, cooking a meal that was finished long before either man was born. An old man who has been waiting decades for someone to finally ask arrives with an answer nobody wants. And somewhere under all of it, something older than the village is still trying to complete a rite that was interrupted — and it has been looking for a way to finish it ever since.It doesn't hunt with fear. It never has. It comes through the doors we leave open — the people we've lost, the voices we'd know anywhere, the hope we were never able to put down. By the third night, Shivam will be offered exactly what he came for, and he will have to decide what it's worth.Some things don't kill you. They keep you.Official OST - https://open.spotify.com/album/0fo0hBcoZ7neMNqcO0s2Zj?si=fd326d388aa94e24Be warned, Bhay Vasis: the most dangerous thing in that house isn't what wants to hurt you. It's what wants to love you.Listen alone, with your headphones on, with the lights off — and when it's over, sit through the silence. That's where this one actually ends.Top Contributors Become Executive Producers for the next episode.

For most of human history, cultures have marked that transition with a Rite of Passage. Today, many boys reach adulthood without ever having that moment. Are we missing something? In this week's Equipping Men in Ten, Jim Ramos lays out a simple, biblical approach to creating a Rite of Passage for your son. It doesn't require a big budget or a complicated program, and you can do it in your own backyard with your son or gather a group of men and boys for the experience. Give your son a moment he will remember. Call him into manhood.  Check out Rick Johnson's book about the rite of passage: https://tinyurl.com/power115 Want to protect your marriage?

In this talk from First Friday on Sept. 4, Bishop Gruss challenges Catholics to reflect on their relationship with the Holy Spirit — the often-overlooked third Person of the Trinity.Most of us were confirmed but can't name the gifts we received. This session breaks open the Rite of Confirmation prayer to reveal what those gifts actually are, and explains why they can go dormant if we don't ask the Holy Spirit to stir them up.Learn why the gifts of the Spirit are compared to a forgotten gift on the top shelf of a closet, how they differ from natural human traits like wisdom or courage, and why engaging them is essential to living as a true disciple.This is Part 1 of an ongoing series — join us next month as we dig deeper into each individual gift.

Aimer en vérité 2026-2027 by Radio Maria France

Japanese true crime and Japanese folklore, one candle at a time.In June 1981, a Japanese literature student in Paris asked a Dutch classmate to come to his apartment and help him with his German pronunciation. Renée Hartevelt was twenty-five. She said yes because she was the kind of person who noticed when somebody was sitting on their own.Issei Sagawa confessed within days. He was never convicted, never imprisoned, and never spent a single night in a cell. He spent the next thirty-six years being interviewed, published, booked and paid — and at one point, employed as a restaurant critic.This episode pairs his case with the jikininki: the Buddhist hungry ghost, cursed to devour the dead every night through a throat too narrow to swallow anything at all. A creature no court can touch, no prison can hold, and no executioner can reach — one that ends only when somebody finally decides to stop feeding it.Two stories about an appetite that was never the crime.It was the sentence.⸻Contains: graphic violence, cannibalism, sexual violence (referenced, not depicted), and detailed discussion of a real victim.

Go to: riseupkings.com/ffn---------Lee Corey is a former US Air Force pilot, entrepreneur, husband, father of three, and founder of Naptured, an app designed to rebuild the “village” parents desperately need during the early years of raising children.His journey includes military service in special operations, infertility, raising twins, failed business ventures, deep spiritual wrestling, and learning that the greatest impact a man can have is often not through building his own legacy—but by intentionally shaping the next generation.In this conversation, Lee and Ned go far beyond parenting tips. They explore purpose, identity, ambition, fear, pride, Kingdom thinking, and what it truly means to refuse to waste the life God has given us.Many fathers spend decades chasing success for their families while unintentionally sacrificing the very relationships they claim they're building everything for.Lee Corey understands that tension intimately.After serving in the United States Air Force, pursuing elite military opportunities, walking away from promising careers, enduring entrepreneurial failure, nearly losing his wife during postpartum struggles, and repeatedly rebuilding his life, Lee arrived at a profound realization:Your greatest contribution to the Kingdom may never be what you accomplish—it may be who your children become because of how you loved them.Throughout this deep conversation, Lee and Ned wrestle with questions every thoughtful father eventually faces:5 Questions This Episode AnswersHow can fathers balance ambition with being present for their family?How do I know if my decisions are motivated by purpose—or by fear and pride?What does leaving a lasting legacy actually look like?What should I do when I can't clearly hear God's direction?Why do so many fathers feel like they're never doing enough?---------Check Out the Program Talked About: Genesis by Rise Up KingsThis episode is sponsored by Genesis - a Rite of Passage by Rise Up KingsOrder The Adventure of Fatherhood children's book hereCheck out the TEDx----------Want to learn more about The Adventure of Fatherhood?www.adventureoffatherhood.comwww.rebelandcreate.comEach week Ned sits down with a dad and asks him to open up his field notes and share with other men who find themselves on the Adventure of Fatherhood.

What makes a brand worth betting on? Ken Sadowsky, affectionately known as "The Beverage Whisperer," returns to Taste Radio with a sharp look at where the biggest opportunities — and potential pitfalls — are emerging across the beverage category.  A senior advisor at Verlinvest, board director at Vita Coco and Icelandic Glacial, and early-stage investor in several emerging beverage brands, Ken explains why coconut water still has plenty of runway, what founders can learn from playing the long game, and why he believes colostrum could represent the next big functional beverage opportunity. Ken also shares his perspective on the rise of caffeine-free energy, hydration, matcha, protein and functional beverages. He also offers candid takes on celebrity-backed brands, flavor versus function, packaging, category positioning and the question he asks when evaluating any new beverage. Show notes: 0:20: Ken Sadowsky, Sr. Advisor, Verlinvest – Ken kicks things off by praising his beloved Red Sox before sharing his perspective on why coconut water has quietly become one of beverage's fastest-growing categories. He explains how strategic decisions by major beverage companies can temporarily shape retailer perceptions of an entire category, and why occasion- and benefit-based shopping may increasingly blur traditional category lines, particularly in smaller-format stores. Ken also discusses several emerging brands in his investment portfolio, including Rite, a caffeine-free energy drink powered by ketones and paraxanthine, and Leisure Hydration, which he sees as a function-first product with a more relaxed approach to hydration. He and Ray also evaluate products from Stillers, Yass, Gimber, Fizzin Protein and Grind. At the heart of Ken's philosophy is a simple question: Why will a consumer buy the product again? While functional benefits can drive trial, he argues that taste remains critical to repeat purchase in most categories. For founders, he emphasizes the importance of spending time in stores, studying the competitive set and allowing consumers to determine where a product belongs rather than relying too heavily on conventional category definitions. Ken also weighs in on celebrity-backed brands, arguing that celebrity involvement can drive discovery but is far more powerful when the celebrity genuinely invests in and believes in the business. He reflects on the extraordinary velocity of beverages compared with other CPG categories and explains why he often asks if a brand has the potential to sell a billion cans. Brands in this episode: Vita Coco, Harmless Harvest, Zico, Gatorade, Red Bull, Monster Energy, Celsius, Rite Energy, Parch, Subourbon Life, Ponyboy Slings, MOTH Cocktails, Spikedade, Super Lyte, Yass, Orange Toucan, Leisure Hydration, Spindrift, Coca-Cola, Neau Water, Eatyx, Oshee, Stiller's, Gimber, Vitaminwater, Pirate's Booty, AriZona Beverages, Ancient Nutrition, Fair Life, Fizzen Protein, Protein Pop, Grind, Onyx Coffee, Donpon Energy  

Meet the Woodwind Family We're kicking off a brand-new series on the podcast, and I could not be more excited about it. Over the next few episodes, we're getting to know all four families of the orchestra — strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion. (We already spent time with the strings a while back, if you want to catch up first.) Today it's the woodwinds' turn. I think this family has some of the most colorful, personality-packed voices in the whole orchestra. In this episode, your kids will learn: What actually makes an instrument a "woodwind" (hint: it's not about being made of wood) The two ways woodwinds turn breath into sound — blowing across an opening vs. using a reed Why the saxophone is technically a woodwind, even though it's shiny metal How to tell the flute, piccolo, oboe, clarinet, and bassoon apart by ear We use Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf as our guide, since he gave some of the best character roles to woodwind instruments — the bird (flute), the duck (oboe), the cat (clarinet), and the grandfather (bassoon). If your family has listened to our episode on Peter and the Wolf before (Episode 122), this one will feel like meeting old friends again. Free Printable: The Woodwind Family Spotter Download it below and use it while you listen — there's a spot to check off each instrument as you hear it. It's a simple way to keep kids actively engaged instead of just having the podcast on in the background (though honestly, that's fine too — no judgment here).

What do people who believe they are writing songs when they use Suno AI, YouTuber Hank Green, and Narcissus from Greek mythology all have in common? Quite a lot, it turns out. And they can help us recognise a form of stuckness that’s becoming increasingly common as people’s relationship with generative AI begins to blur the boundary between ourselves and the technologies we use, making it more difficult to know where the human ends and the machine begins. https://youtu.be/zSMwN0wKGlE Getting Stuck in the Digital Image Our relationship with technology and, in particular, large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and Suno poses a really interesting existential dilemma. I’ve been fascinated to see how these are often sold as tools to overcome stuckness. While at the same time, they create a whole different form of stuckness when we become attached to them. The demise of Narcissus came through an obsession with his own reflection. Perhaps the price of looking away from his reflection brought its own kind of departure and death. Maybe the image had become more real, perfect, and desirable than the human staring at it. In this episode of The Gentle Rebel Podcast, we consider how the reflection of ourselves in the machines we use can bend us out of shape and leave us uncertain of who we are and what we’re capable of. What Does It Mean to Write a Song? Fil Henley, AKA Wings of Pegasus, asked this simple question in a recent video. He analysed an advert from the AI music generation platform Suno, which features producers and songwriters using it to make songs. Fil says, “If you don’t know what the song is going to sound like before you hear it, then you haven’t written the song.” Platforms like Suno act like fruit machines. The output is based more on luck than judgement. What makes them compelling and perhaps even addictive, is that the result is impossible for us to predict. It’s a surprise each time that feels exciting to reveal. And it can turn any old crap into something you might hear on the radio. As we see in the video. More Than a Tool This is what makes these services different from tools. A tool reliably enables us to carry out a task without doing everything and more autonomously. So when the producer says that Suno is showing him stuff he never would have thought about, he is revealing the blurred boundary between us and these machines. It is more than a tool for songwriting. It’s generating the song itself. Suno isn’t like a digital audio workstation (a tool), where a songwriter records, edits, and produces music they have written and performed. It goes further, making many of the creative decisions that normally require time, judgement, and consideration throughout the songwriting process. In other words, the user doesn’t need the skill required to produce the result. Whose Ideas Are They? So if YOU didn’t think of them, whose ideas are they? And if it’s outputting stuff based on something you haven’t thought of, what’s the point in you being there at all? The song is found in the mirror as generative AI reflects back an image of a reality that doesn't exist above the surface. Creative Block as a Rite of Passage In reality, human creativity emerges through the energy generated by those moments of friction, uncertainty, and obstacle. By intervening early with generative AI before we have taken the opportunity to grapple with a block, we deprive ourselves of that bittersweet joy of finding something that comes to life THROUGH US. Instead, a service like Suno short-circuits the block. It presents fully formed solutions that we “never would have thought about”. Perhaps, we would have thought of something much better and more “us” if we had been patient and given ourselves time to grapple with the block. The Allure of The Mirror When you listen to these outputs, there is a professional sheen to them that feels sharp. It sounds just like stuff you hear on the radio. But it sounds like stuff you hear on the radio. There is a sameness to it. An increasingly homogenous stasis. Maybe this technology is attractive precisely because it DOESN’T sound like us. It’s familiar enough for us to to glimpse ourselves. But we look different. It cleans up the parts we might cringe at and be afraid of revealing. Those bits that feel messy, broken, chaotic, and weird. We don’t argue with the machine that makes us sound like something you’d hear on the radio, see on TV, or LinkedIn. Slick, clean, authoritative, clinical, soulless, indistinguishable, unremarkable, dull. Incidentally, this is a good way to identify the best producers, editors, and coaches to work with. They don’t try to make us sound like them or force us to emulate their processes. Instead, they seek to understand and support us. They are able to help us notice, accept, and amplify those parts that we would try to shrink down and hide when left to our own devices. The machine holds a mirror with some perfected image that we believe is us, but is stripped of blemishes, stains, and imperfections. But rather than being the Platonic ideal version of us, it’s more like an aggregate approximation of who everyone else is in the land of mediocre homogeneity. We arrive in this territory when we sand off our edges and lose our spark. The Culture of Narcissism In his 1979 book The Culture of Narcissism, Christopher Lasch offers a fresh way of thinking about the myth of Narcissus. We tend to think that Narcissus died because he fell in love with his own reflection and couldn’t look away, so was unable to do anything other than stare obsessively at himself in the water. Lasch adds another layer, depicting cultural narcissism emerging as the image of the human in the water becomes more important than the human it reflects. Telling Us Apart YouTuber Hank Green recently revealed that he had become over-reliant on ChatGPT after viewers pointed out something in a video that felt off to them. When viewed in context, the clip actually makes more sense than the reactionary commentary suggested. But while he said he didn’t accidentally read something from ChatGPT left in the script, Green didn’t dismiss the criticism. Instead, he agreed, “I think what people have said in this thread about me diluting myself is spot on”. Diluting oneself through the use of technology indicates how a separation between the image and the self can get blurred. This is perhaps why those using Suno to make songs believe they themselves are writing songs. It’s not necessarily a deliberate deception being perpetrated by people pretending to know more than they do or pretending they’ve done things they haven’t. There is a real belief being seeded and nurtured that means people genuinely struggle to distinguish between themselves and the output generated by these technologies. The Gift of Getting Stuck There is a gift in getting stuck along the way during the creative process. It invites us to be resourceful problem solvers. It builds character and reveals more about who we are as we experiment, test, and try things without guaranteed results. Imperfectly. Clumsily. Grappling with creative friction gives opportunities to deepen our confidence and grow our experiences of being okay after failing. These tools are sold to us as ways to avoid that friction. But in so doing, we avoid strengthening the tension wood of creativity altogether, grown in a dance with the rhythm of life’s winds and storms. It Takes a Village (of Humans) In this Sunotopia, depicted through their advert, we see many people gathered in the studio. Yet, the future reality that will come through the success of these platforms appears to be very different. The technology is moving us away from others so we don’t need a producer, an engineer, or other musicians to work with. All we need is Suno because Suno doesn’t get blocked. It will work with whatever crap you feed it. And it will turn any old noise into the kind of song you might hear on the radio. Happiness is Only Real When… Christopher McCandless’s diary concluded that “happiness is only real when shared”. An observation made under tragic circumstances. I think there is a lot of truth in this. I’ve found many times that even the happiest experiences I’ve had on my own feel more complete when they are witnessed through sharing a story with someone else. When we’re feeling the pressure to conform to the schedule of our unrelenting world, we need the courage to give it time. To give OURSELVES and ONE ANOTHER time. Maybe our intuition and imagination will start to show us stuff an LLM never would have thought of… It is rebellious to release ourselves from the pressure to rush and force output for the sake of it. Technologies like Suno and ChatGPT can become an attractive crutch when they are sold as ways to keep going amidst the limitless demands of a productivity-obsessed world. But they gradually erode confidence in our own creative capacity. We would do well to remember, “it is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society”. This is where we become unstuck (in the best possible way).

Ever thought of hitting the road in a retrofitted van? Victoria Lee Starr did it in midlife and found her true self. She became a guide for women through the sacred season of midlife reinvention, helping them reclaim self-trust, inner safety and their authentic power. Using transformational breathwork, guided microdosing support, somatic ritual and emotional excavation, her work meets women in the places most avoid... the unraveling, the burning, the falling apart...and transforms those moments into a becoming.Victoria's own awakening began in Costa Rica, when everything she thought she needed to feel loved, safe or worthy started to collapse. What looked like failure was actually her Rite of Passage into self-trust, honesty and the woman you become when you stop abandoning yourself.After leaving an emotionally abusive relationship, Victoria rebuilt her life from the ground up and spent nearly four years living full-time in her Ram Promaster van with her dog, Olivia Grace. Her van became her initiation chamber, a sacred space to learn to trust her body, intuition, truth and the quiet voice that had been waiting decades to lead.Victoria works through psychological wisdom, nervous system healing, transformational breathwork, guided microdosing, intuitive channeling, somatic rituals and emotional excavation. She helps women fully be themselves in midlife, showing them that falling apart is often the beginning of becoming.She calls herself a "spiritual outlaw" because she refuses to heal or lead within the confines of traditional systems, surface-level fixes or fluff. "This work is not about bypassing the hard stuff, it's about entering the sacred, messy, untamed places where real healing lives," Victoria says. "I walk between realms of emotional, spiritual, somatic and psychological and I'm not here to guide women to think their way into peace. I guide you to feel, to embody and to remember. A spiritual outlaw breaks the rules of what healing is 'supposed to' look like; doesn't fix you — she walks with you as you unlearn the lies and reclaim your soul; channels deep wisdom that comes from lived experience, intuition and higher intelligence — not just certifications; uses non-linear tools like breathwork, somatic ritual and emotional excavation to guide people back to their power; refuses spiritual bypassing and meets you in the root of it — trauma, lineage, nervous system patterns — and helps transmute them into gold; and is wildly intuitive, slightly rebellious, deeply grounded and divinely guided."In this episode, we talk about:--Midlife as a Rite of Passage--Why women in their 40s, 50s and 60s are unraveling and why this is actually the beginning of their becoming.--Being a Spiritual Outlaw--The future of healing beyond fluffy positivity and patriarchal conditioning--Breathwork + Microdosing using natural, non-addictive medicine for Emotional Reinvention--A grounded, embodied approach for women ready to reclaim self-trust and inner safety.--Living on the Road After Burning Down Your Life--Lessons from four years of nomadic living about freedom, intuition and rebuilding identity.--Rebirth After Divorce, Abuse and Identity Collapse--How to trust yourself again when everything familiar has fallen away.She offers free resources:Her Guided Meditation Collection consists of short, soul-nourishing meditations for midlife transformation:https://www.victorialeestarr.com/free-meditationBreathe with Intention: Your ToolkitPractical breathwork exercises to reclaim calm, clarity and self-trust:https://www.victorialeestarr.com/free-breathe-toolkitHot Flashes BreathworkA focused practice for navigating menopause with embodiment and empowerment:https://www.victorialeestarr.com/hotflashesLearn more:Website: https://www.victorialeestarr.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/victorialeestarr/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/victorialeestarrLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/victoria-starr-68495a280/

We asked for your questions, and you sent so many that one episode couldn't hold them. This is part one of two — and part one is brought to you by two letters: A and I. That wasn't the plan; it's just where the mailbag pointed. Philip Rothman and David MacDonald take on the growing expectation that artificial intelligence should be able to turn a scan, recording, or generated track into finished, usable sheet music. Why is that still so difficult? And where can AI genuinely help musicians and music preparation professionals today? The discussion ranges from optical music recognition and audio transcription to proofreading, house styles, sample libraries, score following, and the potential for language models to communicate directly with notation software. Along the way, Philip proposes the “Gould test” as the music preparation equivalent of the Turing test. Underneath it all are larger questions about the value of expertise, the role of human judgment, and where responsibility lies when the technology gets it wrong. The rest of the mailbag — the questions that have nothing to do with AI — is coming next month.

Most men aren't emotionally unavailable because they don't care. They're emotionally unavailable because they were never taught how to process emotion, navigate intimacy, or move through the transition from boyhood to manhood.

Go to: riseupkings.com/ffn---------What if becoming a better father has less to do with learning more parenting techniques and more to do with becoming a man who is fully alive?Zac Ernst is a husband of 22 years, father of two teenagers, entrepreneur, co-founder of ActivityPay, and founder of Pursuit, a men's movement helping men come fully alive through community, fitness, spiritual formation, and adventure. Living in Seal Beach, California, Zac has built his life around one central conviction: the greatest adventure isn't paddling to Catalina or riding bicycles down the California coast—it's becoming the husband and father God created you to be.In this conversation, Ned sits down with Zac Ernst to explore what it looks like to intentionally pursue God, your wife, your children, and your own formation as a man. From the opening minutes discussing dreams and how God still speaks today, the conversation quickly moves into entrepreneurship, margin, fatherhood, adventure, raising teenagers, discipling children, and the loneliness epidemic facing modern men.Zac shares how building businesses wasn't primarily about money—it was about creating enough freedom to be present at every game, school event, and important moment in his children's lives. He explains the family values acronym “GraceFi,” why adventure slows time down with kids, and why fathers should become students of their children's hearts instead of trying to make them into younger versions of themselves.One of the most powerful moments comes when Zac explains the transition every Christian parent eventually faces: moving from telling children about Jesus to revealing Jesus through a life of answered prayer, faithful obedience, and authentic dependence on God.The conversation concludes with Zac sharing the heart behind Pursuit—a nationwide movement helping men fight isolation through community, physical challenge, spiritual growth, and honest relationships.This episode is packed with practical wisdom for fathers who want to raise resilient kids, build intentional families, and become the kind of men whose lives point people toward Jesus.5 Questions This Episode AnswersHow do fathers build deeper relationships with teenage children?How do I help my kids develop their own faith instead of simply borrowing mine?What should fathers do when their kids don't enjoy the same interests they do?How can entrepreneurship create more freedom for family life?How do Christian men build authentic friendships with other men?---------Check out Zac's Christian men's fitness and fellowship program Pursuit:www.joinpursuit.coJoin a nationwide 90-Day Challenge with Pursuit in August 2026 - or anytime!Pursuit 90 Day Challenge---------The Dream Journal App---------Check Out the Program Talked About: Genesis by Rise Up KingsThis episode is sponsored by Genesis - a Rite of Passage by Rise Up KingsOrder The Adventure of Fatherhood children's book hereCheck out the TEDx----------Want to learn more about The Adventure of Fatherhood?www.adventureoffatherhood.comwww.rebelandcreate.comEach week Ned sits down with a dad and asks him to open up his field notes and share with other men who find themselves on the Adventure of Fatherhood.

Patrick unpacks how Catholics today walk the tightrope between Church fidelity and the confusion stirred by controversial issues like SSPX, changing liturgies, and election choices. He zeroes in on the tension sparked by perceived double standards from Church leaders and spotlights practical habits—prayer, patience, keeping Christ at the center—as anchors amid chaos.
