A Quick Note to Listeners: Before each week’s interview, Will Parker and Jen Schwanke spend some time answering a listener question. This week’s question is: What advice would a teacher want to give to a new principal? Listen in to hear their response! Meet Tyler Watkins: Tyler Watkins, Ed.D., is the principal of Petal High School, one of Mississippi's top-rated high schools and a 2022 National Blue Ribbon School. He began his career in 2011 as a teacher and baseball coach before moving into school leadership. His work centers on building belonging, creating predictable systems, and leading through stability. Dr. Watkins earned his doctorate in Educational Leadership from William Carey University, where his research focused on the academic effects of student transiency. He lives in Petal, Mississippi, with his wife, Katie, and their children, Lowe and Cohen. He is the author of Rooted Leadership in a Mobile World: Belonging, Predictability, and Purpose When Students Come and Go, scheduled for release in Fall 2026. Why This Work Matters: Dr. Watkins' passion for this topic didn't begin with theory. It began with what he was seeing every day. Students were constantly entering and leaving his school, and even in a high performing system, each new student was starting over. That led him to ask a deeper question, what are we doing to make students feel rooted, even when their lives are not. In today's landscape of school choice and increased mobility, this isn't a niche issue. It is everywhere. Whether a school is high performing or struggling, students are navigating transitions, and schools must be ready to respond. It's Not Just Academic, It's Human: One of the biggest shifts Dr. Watkins describes is recognizing that student mobility is not just an academic issue, it is a human one. New students are not simply catching up on content. They are trying to understand new teachers, new systems, and new social environments, often while carrying emotional weight from their transitions. Too often, schools focus first on academics. But Dr. Watkins emphasizes that stability has to be intentionally designed, not assumed. Start with the First 10 Days: At its most practical level, Dr. Watkins encourages leaders to focus on the first 10 days of a student's experience. Every new student should have a clear plan, not just a schedule. That plan should include intentional check ins, clear expectations, and a structured way to help them navigate the building. Without this, students are often left to figure things out on their own, which increases stress and disconnect. Every Student Needs an Adult Connection: Along with a clear plan, every student needs an immediate connection with a trusted adult. At Petal High School, Dr. Watkins and his team assign students to an administrator and counselor by alphabet, and they meet them right away. It is simple, but it matters. Students need to know someone knows their name, where to find them, and how to reach out when they need help. That connection is often the difference between feeling lost and feeling grounded. Consistency Reduces Stress: Another key insight Dr. Watkins shares is the importance of consistency across classrooms. It is overwhelming for students, especially new ones, to relearn expectations from class to class. Schools must align expectations so students can focus on learning rather than constantly adjusting to different systems. Clarity and consistency do not just support behavior, they create stability. Communicate Early with Families: Dr. Watkins also highlights the power of early communication with families. A simple message home letting a parent know their child had a great day can immediately build trust and connection. These small moments send a clear message, your child matters here, and we are paying attention. High Expectations with High Support: A common misconception is that schools must choose between being welcoming and maintaining high expectations. Dr. Watkins challenges that thinking. You do not lower expectations for new students, you increase support. You teach the systems, clarify confusion quickly, and give students the tools they need to succeed. Confusion should not be punished, it should be addressed with clarity. Leadership Sets the Tone: This work does not happen by accident. It is a leadership responsibility. Dr. Watkins emphasizes that leaders must design systems that create predictability and ensure consistency across the school. Teacher attitudes toward new students are critical. When staff see new students as opportunities instead of interruptions, it changes everything. Leaders set that tone through clarity, communication, and example. From Classroom to Campus Leadership: Reflecting on his own journey, Dr. Watkins describes a shift many leaders experience. As a teacher, the focus is on running a great classroom. As a principal, the focus becomes building a school where every classroom reflects that same level of excellence. For new leaders, he offers practical advice. Set clear expectations, follow through consistently, protect instructional time, and keep systems stable. These foundational practices create the environment where both students and staff can thrive. Belonging, Predictability, and Purpose: At the heart of this conversation are three essential elements, belonging, predictability, and purpose. Dr. Watkins emphasizes that students need to feel known. They need systems they can rely on. And they need to understand that what they are doing matters. When those elements are in place, students can succeed, even in the middle of constant change. What Students Need to Succeed: Drawing from Ruby Payne's research on under resourced learners, there are key resources every student needs in order to thrive in school. Financial resources Emotional stability and self regulation Mental and academic skills A sense of purpose or direction Physical health Support systems such as family, friends, and trusted adults Motivation, persistence, and grit Knowledge of hidden rules, expectations, and social cues within a school For students who are constantly moving, many of these supports are disrupted. That is why schools must intentionally step in to provide them. Final Thoughts: Dr. Watkins leaves us with a reminder that is both simple and powerful. Students do not need perfect schools, they need stable ones. And that is something every leader can influence.

In this episode we welcome our inspiring friend, Margot Leom.  Margot is the creator of Leom Designs, a clothing line born from a deeply personal dialogue with her own creative essence. She shares the origin story of Leom and how she was inspired to make art for herself and others.From touring in a band to working with artisans in Bali, to settling into a quieter, more rooted life near the Yuba River, Margot traces the spiral of a life fully devoted to creative listening. Together the three explore what it means to slow down in a world that keeps speeding up, to treat "boundaries" as "clarities," to stay radically rooted when everything outside feels like chaos — and why sharing your gifts with the world, rather than hoarding the portal, is what keeps the creative flame alive.https://www.leomdesigns.com/✨☕This episode is sponsored by www.BecomeLucid.com Lucid is a functional mushroom and nootropic brand designed to fuel mental clarity, focus, and long-term brain health.

Scott Lessing shares the remarkable story of planting a church inside Lorain Correctional Institution and how prison ministry can become true disciple-making and church planting. Through consistent relationships, weekly worship, leadership development, and reentry ministry, Scott and Grace Church are seeing God transform lives both inside and outside the prison. Scott serves at Grace Church, a Christian and Missionary Alliance church near Cleveland, Ohio. What began when the warden asked for something more than traditional prison ministry has grown into a church community with weekly services, dozens of volunteers, Bible studies, Alpha, Rooted, recovery ministry, baptisms, a School of Ministry, and intentional discipleship. Greg and Scott also explore the biblical foundation for this work through Luke 4:18 and Matthew 25, discussing Jesus' call to proclaim good news to the poor, freedom for prisoners, and to care for those who are incarcerated. Scott explains why the goal isn't simply to bring a church service into a prison but to build relationships and make disciples who can eventually disciple and lead others. One of the most powerful stories is of a man who spent 47 years incarcerated, completed Grace Church's School of Ministry, was released, joined the church's staff, and was preparing to return to the prison—this time to preach. The church also walks alongside people after release through employment connections, housing support, community, and continued discipleship. Scott's story challenges every church leader to reconsider what it means to go to people instead of simply expecting people to come to church. As he explains, their prison ministry has changed Grace Church itself, creating a congregation that looks more diverse, more broken, and, in his words, more like the first-century church.

 Have you ever looked around at your life and thought: "This can't be it." Not because your life is bad. Not because you're ungrateful. But because somewhere deep inside, you know you're meant for more. More joy. More connection. More peace. More authenticity. More aliveness. Many women spend years settling for situations they've outgrown. Not because they don't know better, but because settling happens slowly. We adapt. We tolerate. We convince ourselves things are "fine" while quietly feeling disconnected from ourselves. In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we're exploring why we settle, what it costs us, and how to recognize the places in our lives where we've accepted less than what truly nourishes us. We talk about: the subtle ways we settle what we're tolerating that no longer fits why fear keeps us stuck comfort zones and hidden costs self-worth and self-trust the difference between gratitude and settling remembering what's possible choosing a life that feels aligned instead of merely acceptable Because the goal isn't perfection. The goal is a life that feels true. And sometimes the first step toward creating something new is being honest about what is no longer enough. New episodes of Cacao Conversations drop weekly. Sip.

From Miriam to Priscilla, the story of Scripture calls women into leadership and encourages them to endure as “oaks of righteousness” alongside men. The uniqueness of a woman's position in the world carries with it a different weight than our brothers have.

Send us Fan MailWhat does it mean to be the steady ground a child needs when life gets hard?After nearly five years of Healing Hearts, we're beginning a new chapter as Steady Ground Parenting—a podcast for parents raising children through hard seasons. But this rebrand goes beyond a new name. Rooted in the same belief that drives Speak Up For Kids, it's a deeper reflection of the work we've been doing all along: helping children and families impacted by foster care, trauma, adoption, and family disruption find the support, connection, and stability they need to grow. When we speak up and show up for children, we change lives.In this episode, we hear from two people whose lives have been shaped by foster care. Trish Zenczak, Director of Training and Impact at Speak Up for Kids, shares her story of growing up in foster care and how that experience shaped her work advocating for children, becoming a foster parent, and eventually adopting. She also explains the programs and community efforts through which Speak Up for Kids is mitigating trauma and cultivating self-worth in the lives of kids living in foster care.Then, Maddie Harris shares what it was like to experience foster care as a child, move through multiple homes, and eventually find stability with the family who adopted her. Her story shows what children in foster care need from the adults around them, and how consistency, encouragement, and simply refusing to walk away can change a child's life.These stories show that being steady ground doesn't mean always having everything figured out. It means showing up, listening, believing in a child, and finding practical ways to remind them that they matter. That's what it means to be the steady ground your child needs to grow.In This Episode:Why we're becoming Steady Ground ParentingTrish's experience growing up in foster care and how it shaped her life's workWhat foster care can feel like for a child experiencing uncertainty and changeWhy children impacted by foster care should be seen for who they are, not what they've gone throughHow consistency and stability can help children learn to trust againWhat Maddie's experience can teach parents about showing up for kids in their livesThe programs Speak Up for Kids uses to support children and familiesThe impact volunteers, students, and communities have on kids living in foster careWhy small moments of encouragement can build confidence, belonging, and hopeWhat it really means to become the steady ground a child can depend onThis is the beginning of Steady Ground Parenting. If you've been with us through Healing Hearts, thank you for continuing with us. If you're new here, welcome. We're here to help parents and caregivers feel more prepared to support children through hard seasons, giving them practical tools, tips, and strategies to become steady ground.Resources & Support:

Shame. The feeling of “I'm not enough,” or “I don't deserve good things.” How does this pattern of thought shape our lives? And how do we intervene in this cycle of behavior? This week, Bridgette and Lindsey share how they're reshaping harmful words and ideas into moments of significance. Hiding from shame doesn't change us feeling it, but addressing it and knowing what to do next can greatly impact how we move forward.Key TakeawaysShame differs from other emotions because it carries a continual weight rather than passing by.Continual feelings of shame can make us believe that we as people are failures rather than a single event or experience being unsuccessful.Understanding significance and its importance to categorizing experiences allows us to see a difficult situation as something needed despite the pain or as embarrassing.Narrative therapy and other therapeutic techniques can provide a means to separate painful experiences from our sense of self.As adults, understanding how to navigate confrontation, embarrassment, and challenging situations can aid in how we experience shame.Resources MentionedDr. Brené Brown, “TED Talk: Listening to Shame”Volare's Trauma-Informed Training SessionsConnect and Learn More☑️ Bridgette Stumpf | LinkedIn☑️ Lindsey Silverberg | LinkedIn ☑️ Volare | LinkedIn | Instagram | Facebook☑️ Subscribe to the TraumaTies newsletter ☑️ TraumaTies Website | Instagram | TikTok | YouTube☑️ Subscribe Apple Podcasts | Spotify Brought to you by Volare, TraumaTies: Untangling Societal Harm & Healing After Crime is a podcast that creates space and conversations to dissect the structural and systemic knots that keep us from addressing trauma.Rooted in a belief that survivors of crime deserve respect for their dignity in the aftermath of victimization, Volare seeks to empower survivors by informing them of all of the options available and working to transform existing response systems to be more inclusive of the diverse needs that survivors often have after crime.Volare also provides free, holistic, and comprehensive advocacy, therapeutic, and legal services to survivors of all crime types.

We unpack a headline-making surrogacy dispute where a contract pressures a pregnancy termination, then trace how state-by-state abortion law creates conflict and confusion. We also weigh late-term abortion policy, organ transplant preservation, and AI-driven identity mimicry through a Christian pro-life lens that prioritizes both truth and compassion.SHOW NOTES:Rejected Surrogate Baby Must Get Treatment: A Texas court ordered immediate lifesaving treatment for Gabriel, born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome after his surrogate refused the intended California parents' request for an abortion.

You have more access, more tools, and more opportunity than any generation in history. And you still feel like it is not enough. In this solo episode of The Fulfillionaire, the conversation goes straight to the root of why scarcity persists even when abundance is all around you. Rooted in the insights of Brett Hurt's book Love Conquers Fear, this episode breaks down the two forces keeping entrepreneurs and small business owners stuck: tribalism and scarcity wiring. Both are biological. Both are outdated. And both are costing you more than you realize in your business, your cash flow decisions, and your ability to build real wealth. You will also learn why social media, advertising, and the news cycle are designed to keep you feeling like you do not have enough, how to define wealth on your own terms instead of someone else's, and how taking inventory across all four dimensions of wealth, including people wealth, time wealth, financial wealth, and health wealth, can shift your nervous system from scarcity to abundance. The goal is not just to make more money. It is to stop letting fear and lack drive every financial decision you make. Scarcity is not your fault. But staying in it is a choice.

As the back-to-school transition gets underway, new routines, unfamiliar hallways, and shifting social circles can test a child's confidence—especially for kids navigating difference, transracial adoption, or mixed-race identity. In this episode, Rooted in Connection: Back to School with Dr. Jenn, we explore how to send children into the new school year anchored in deep self-worth and belonging. Dr. Jenn breaks down why intentional community is essential, how cultural joy and pride act as powerful protection against racial pain, and the subtle shifts in grades or behavior that signal a child might be struggling in silence. Tune in for practical, heart-centered guidance on protecting and preparing children for the school year ahead.   

What if one of the most loving things a Christian can say to another Christian is, “You have sinned against me”? In this episode, we confront Jesus' startling command to name sin—not to win an argument, punish someone, or make the church a better organization, but so that a sinner can hear the forgiveness of Christ. Jesus gives the church the authority to bind and loose sin, because sometimes the Gospel cannot be heard until someone is willing to hold up the mirror and say, “You have a problem—and Christ has come to forgive it.”GOSPEL Matthew 18:15-2015 "If another member of the church sins against you, go and point out the fault when the two of you are alone. If the member listens to you, you have regained that one. 16 But if you are not listened to, take one or two others along with you, so that every word may be confirmed by the evidence of two or three witnesses. 17 If the member refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if the offender refuses to listen even to the church, let such a one be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector. 18 Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. 19 Again, truly I tell you, if two of you agree on earth about anything you ask, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them."CARE OF SOULS: DEATHIn Care of Souls, a special mini-series podcast from Luther House of Study, Lutheran pastors and theologians come together to explore the deeply personal and pastoral task of preaching to and caring for those facing death, grief, and loss.Rooted in the theology of the cross and the Lutheran tradition of radical grace, this series offers both theological depth and practical guidance for pastors, church workers, and lay leaders.Across five episodes, the hosts tackle tough but essential questions on death:How does Lutheran theology speak uniquely to death and grief?What does faithful pastoral care look like when walking alongside those who mourn?How can pastors offer both honesty and hope in the face of tragedy and loss?What does ministry look like when death impacts the pastor as well as the congregation?Why do funerals matter, and what is God giving through them?With conversations, real-life stories, and reflections from the front lines of ministry, Care of Souls equips listeners to enter the sorrow of death not with easy answers, but with the crucified and risen Christ.Because in the end, it's not about avoiding death—it's about hearing the Gospel from the One who has passed through death and opened the way to life.Listen to Care of Souls wherever you listen to podcasts or on the Luther House website: Care of SoulsSupport the showInterested in sponsoring an episode of Scripture First?Email Sarah at sarah@lhos.org or visit our donation page: lutherhouseofstudy.org/donate

If someone were to ask you, “What is the Bible about?”—what would you say? Biblical theology helps us answer that question. It traces the story of the Bible, showing us how it progresses, unfolds, and ultimately climaxes in Christ. And this is going to be so helpful as we head into our upcoming Rooted study. Biblical theology helps you understand where YOU fit into the Bible's storyline—and when you see the Bible as one unified story, the doctrines of our faith become even richer and more meaningful. We can't wait to dive in with you!

Are you simply hearing the words of Jesus, or are you actively building your life upon them? In this Vision Sunday message, Pastor Dave Mudd challenges us to look beyond casual Christianity and evaluate what is truly forming our daily lives. Rooted in Jesus' teaching from Matthew 7, this message examines how digital distraction, superficial relationships, and a stagnant faith keep us from true spiritual maturity. Discover how moving from information to transformation allows us to stop living discipled by the world and start becoming more like Jesus every day. Key Takeaways:- Build on the Rock: True discipleship means putting the words of Jesus into daily practice, not just agreeing with them on Sundays. - Overcome Digital Distraction: Guard your heart against being discipled by modern algorithms, news, and cultural noise rather than God's Word. - Embrace Authentic Community: Move past surface-level church attendance into deep, accountable relationships where genuine healing and growth happen. - Pursue Full Surrender: Shift from keeping God as a line item on a priority list to letting Him transform every area of your life—including your relationships, schedule, and ambitions.

What does it look like to pursue your calling without allowing success, numbers, or recognition to become your identity?In this episode of Rooted in Christ, Eric sits down with Christian artist and producer The Prodigal Joe for an honest conversation about faith, identity, purpose, music, and what it means to genuinely follow Jesus.Jose shares his journey growing up as a pastor's kid, moving from a faith that felt largely rooted in religion and routine to discovering a deeply personal relationship with Christ. He opens up about the struggles, questions, and experiences that shaped his faith—and how God ultimately used music as a way for him to express emotions and experiences he once struggled to communicate.The conversation also dives into the meaning behind The Prodigal Joe, his approach to creating Christian music, and why he wants people to see themselves in his story rather than simply look up to him.Eric and Joe discuss:• Finding your identity in Christ rather than your accomplishments• The difference between religious routine and a genuine relationship with Jesus• How God can use the gifts He's already placed inside of you• Music as a tool for communication, healing, and reaching people• Staying faithful when the culture rewards compromise• The pressure of social media, streams, views, and numbers• Why authenticity frees us from the pressure to perform• Pursuing excellence without making success the goal• Learning to be present and intentional with the people God has placed around you• Trusting God with the results after you've been obedient to His calling• Leaving behind a legacy that points people back to ChristAt the heart of this conversation is a powerful reminder: our job is obedience; the results belong to God. Jose shares why he's content to give God his absolute best, regardless of how big or small the platform becomes.If you're struggling to figure out what you're supposed to be doing with your life, feeling pressure to measure your worth by numbers, or wondering whether your gifts can really be used by God, this episode is for you.Don't waste your time. Seek Him, be faithful, and let God make something beautiful out of your life.---Want to be a guest on Rooted In Christ?

As we look at the values that root us in who we are as a church, Surrendered Obedience means letting go of control and letting God take control. When life feels uncertain and the road ahead is confusing, the safest place for us to be is not in control but in a place of surrender. Real faith trusts God enough to obey Him, surrenders enough to let go, and believes God enough to expect Him to provide. In Genesis 22, God asked Abraham to do something that didn't make sense. Abraham's “yes” was already on the table. Surrendered obedience always comes before understanding. When God speaks, obey. Our part is to show up, take God at His Word, and follow Him one step at a time. Surrendered obedience isn't the absence of failures. It's choosing to trust God beyond our last mistake. What God wanted from Abraham was not his son but his surrender. What is it that God has asked you to do that you haven't done yet? Take the first step of obedience. Say, “God, here I am. Speak.” Whatever He says to you, do it.Check out our video version of this episode: https://youtu.be/awkL-0zuHg4Subscribe to our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/8wmeCwBf_zkLearn more about us at chestnutmountain.orgFollow us on Facebook & Instagram @chestnutmtn_

In 2 Peter, the apostle calls believers to be firmly established in the truth, growing in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ. This series explores how a deeply rooted faith enables us to discern truth from error, resist spiritual drift, and live with confidence and hope until Christ returns.Jeremy Olimb | Lead PastorAugust 30, 2026

Roots of Change Podcast — Episode 106 — What Happens When You Do Not Listen to Your LeadersAn experienced nurse took a management position with genuine commitment, clinical expertise, and practical ideas for improving patient safety on her unit. She raised her concerns. She offered solutions. She kept trying.The response was always the same. We don't do things like that here.In this episode, Diane Gudmundson shares that story, one side of a real situation, because she believes that if the leaders above her had taken time to genuinely hear that perspective, things may have turned out very differently for everyone involved, including the patients.This episode is about what organizations lose when they stop listening to the people closest to the work. Not just good people. Their most important early warning system. And the cost that eventually reaches the patients at the end of the chain.Diane also shares what the opposite looks like from her own experience of leading from a genuinely people-centred place, and what patient-centred leadership at the senior level actually requires.If you are a senior healthcare leader and this resonates with your organization, send Diane a direct message with the word ROOTS and she will share the next step.Secure your copy of Rooted to Rise: The Rise of the Patient-Centred Leader: www.dianegudmundson.com/rtrbook

In this episode of the Choosing Different mini-series, Hali is joined by her daughters, Mataia and Morgan, for an honest conversation about betrayal trauma's impact on the whole family — not just the marriage. Hali reflects on what she believed she was doing right at the time (staying reassuring, keeping hard details between the adults) and what she's since learned she missed about how her daughters were actually experiencing it. Mataia and Morgan share what that season of family trauma recovery looked like from where they were standing as kids, and how it's shaping the choices they make now as young moms of their own.Together they talk about the protective patterns that form in the middle of survival mode, why validating both the parent's experience and the child's experience matters for real healing, and what it looks like to break old patterns on purpose instead of by accident. The episode closes with an invitation to the Becoming Together mother/daughter retreat.Mentioned in this episode: If you're ready for a deeper connection with your daughter(s), learn more about my upcoming retreat - Becoming Together: A Mother Daughter Retreat - hosted by myself and my two daughters in Sedona, Arizona on September 8 - 12th.Get support for your children:  Witnessed Group Coaching program led by Morgan Ellsworth. Connect with Morgan Ellsworth: morgan.ellsworth98@gmail.comInstagram: @healing.betrayed.families Podcast: Healing Betrayed FamiliesEnjoyed This Episode?If this conversation resonated with you, here are three ways you can support the show:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Leave a Review

Have you ever stopped to think about how the movies, shows, and online content your children consume may be shaping the way they think, feel, and see the world?For filmmaker, producer, distributor, entrepreneur, and founder Chevonne O'Shaughnessy, that question became personal when she saw the impact a movie had on her own young daughter—and it ultimately helped change the direction of her career.In this powerful inspirational episode, Reginald D sits down with entrepreneur, filmmaker, producer, distributor, mentor, and American Cinema Inspires founder Chevonne O'Shaughnessy for an eye-opening conversation about family-friendly entertainment, faith-based movies, inspirational storytelling, children and media, entrepreneurship, perseverance, women in film, family values, faith, purpose, and creating entertainment that positively impacts people's lives.Chevonne has spent decades in the entertainment industry and says she has distributed more than 500 films worldwide. But her decision to focus on more inspirational and uplifting entertainment began with something that happened inside her own family.Chevonne partnered with Cindy Bond and began distributing inspirational films internationally. But success didn't happen immediately. Buyers weren't accustomed to seeing this type of content, and some initially walked right past it.Reginald and Chevonne also discuss today's enormous challenge for parents:What are our children consuming?With streaming platforms, social media, smartphones, and endless digital content competing for attention, parents have more entertainment choices than ever—but also more content to evaluate.Current family-media discussions similarly emphasize how entertainment shapes children's worldview, why stories matter, and how parents can make more intentional media choices.Chevonne also takes listeners behind the scenes of the entertainment business and explains why talent alone isn't enough.For filmmakers, entrepreneurs, and creators, one of the biggest lessons from this conversation is understanding your audience.Chevonne also discusses Sugar Creek Amish Mysteries, her work advocating for women in film, the changing opportunities for independent filmmakers, the challenges of modern film distribution, and why creators must understand the platforms and audiences they're trying to reach.If you're a parent, filmmaker, entrepreneur, content creator, woman in entertainment, person of faith, or someone concerned about the impact today's culture and media are having on young people, this episode delivers an important conversation about using creativity for something greater than attention.It's an inspirational story about following your convictions, trusting your instincts, persevering when others don't understand your vision, and proving that entertainment can do more than entertain.It can inspire. It can encourage. And it can bring people together.Discover why the stories children and families consume matter and how positive, inspirational, faith-based and family-friendly entertainment can create opportunities for meaningful conversations about difficult real-life issues.Learn powerful entrepreneurship and self-improvement lessons about trusting your vision, persevering through rejection, understanding your audience, adapting your strategy, and continuing when your idea goes against industry trends.Hear an inspirational and motivational story from a woman who built a decades-long entertainment career while advocating for women in film and pursuing a larger purpose: creating stories centered on hope, faith, family, values, forgiveness and encouragement.Press play now to hear Chevonne O'Shaughnessy's inspirational journey and discover why the stories we watch matter, how creators can turn conviction into opportunity, and why positive entertainment still has the power to influence families and the next generation.Chevonne O'Shaughnessy's Contact Info:American Cinema Inspires | Family-Friendly Films & Entertainment - https://americancinemainspires.comYouTube Channel -  Lifted - Stories That Inspire - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjWgFEwDOOTVQgVo1yZ8-5A Send us Fan MailSupport the showFor daily motivation and inspiration, subscribe and follow Real Talk With Reginald D on social media:Instagram: realtalkwithreginaldd   TikTok: @realtalkregd  Youtube: @realtalkwithreginald  Website:  https://www.realtalkwithreginaldd.com Real Talk With Reginald D  -  MerchandiseReal Talk With Reginald D is a faith-based globally ranked inspirational and motivational podcast designed to motivate, empower & transform lives through powerful motivational speeches, authentic conversations, and real-life inspirational stories.

At what point does healing become another way of telling ourselves there's something wrong with us?In this episode, Jessica explores the difference between healing and constantly trying to fix yourself.Healing can become another form of striving: another wound to uncover, belief to clear, pattern to understand, or version of ourselves to become before we finally give ourselves permission to live.Jessica shares how her astrology and Human Design reflect something she already intuitively knows: she requires space, solitude, and deep rest to reclaim herself and create.As a Manifestor, she isn't designed for constant output. As a 5/1 Investigator, she also recognizes the desire to keep researching, understanding, and going deeper.These can be incredible gifts. But every gift can have a shadow.Sometimes the desire to understand ourselves becomes an endless excavation project.Going deeper isn't always the same as healing deeper.Jessica also explores using astrology, Human Design, and spiritual philosophies as tools for self-awareness rather than authorities over our lives.The knowing comes first. The tools help us recognize and trust what we already know.Because sometimes healing isn't about finding another layer.Sometimes it's about integrating what you've already learned and allowing yourself to live.You don't have to finish healing before you're allowed to live.In This Episode​ Intuitive healing + self-trust​ Healing vs. self-fixing​ Perfectionism in personal development​ Manifestor energy, rest + space​ The 5/1 Investigator + endless excavation​ Astrology + Human Design as tools​ Nervous system awareness​ Honoring your natural blueprint​ Integration vs. constantly doing more​ Creating around your energyA Question to Sit WithAm I tending to myself, or am I trying to fix myself?Maybe awareness is enough.Intuitive Living: The Foundations of Rooted & RisingComing soon.A timeless audio experience intentionally created to be revisited again and again.Safety Within — Come back to your body.Remember Who You Are — Come back to yourself.The Body Knows — Trust what you know.This isn't something I created for you to finish.I created it for you to return to.Founding access: $44Standard investment: $88JOIN THE WAITLISTExplore + Work With JessicaBOOK A 1:1 SESSIONINSTAGRAM: @peoplecallmejessWEBSITEIf this episode resonated, follow Jessica Meils the Podcast, leave a rating or review, and share it with someone who may need this conversation.About Jessica MeilsJessica Meils is a Spiritual Medium, Intuitive Healer, Shamanic Practitioner, and Womb Healing Guide.Through intuition, intuitive living, mediumship, intuitive healing, shamanic practices, womb healing, ancestral healing, energy healing, nervous system regulation, somatic embodiment, intuitive astrology, and spiritual and psychic development, Jessica helps people strengthen self-trust, reconnect with their inner wisdom, and remember who they are.Her work bridges spirituality with grounded embodiment through one-to-one sessions, immersive experiences, and Jessica Meils the Podcast.Keywords: intuitive healing, intuition, self-trust, spiritual medium, mediumship, shamanic practitioner, womb healing, ancestral healing, intuitive astrology, spiritual and psychic development, nervous system regulation, somatic embodiment, Human Design, Manifestor, 5/1 profile, perfectionism, limiting beliefs, intuitive living.

If the betrayal in your relationship happened years ago — and life moved forward, but the deepest layers of healing never actually happened — this episode is for you.Maybe the resources weren't available at the time. Maybe neither of you had the language for what betrayal trauma actually is. Maybe you got through the facts but never did the deeper grief work.

Strong roots don't happen overnight, they grow when we allow Jesus to do a work in us and choose to stay planted in Him. In his message Planted and Rooted, Chris Flaig reminds us that spiritual growth isn't about how quickly we grow, but how deeply we're rooted in Jesus and His church. Just like a tree draws its strength from what's happening beneath the surface, Jesus strengthens us through discipleship, community, and choosing to stay planted in Him through every season of life. When we put down roots in the house of God and keep our allegiance to Jesus, we don't just weather the storms, we flourish, bear good fruit, and help others grow closer to Him.

Thom and Jess welcome Eric Geiger to The Church Answers Podcast. In his new book, “The Rooted Leader: Seven Rhythms of Leaders Who Bear Fruit That Lasts” (Tyndale Momentum, August 2026), Eric provides practical guidance for leaders in any area of life, helping them grow in influence and impact. Drawing from the biblical story of Nehemiah, often called history's first leadership book, he introduces seven intermingling rhythms that result in the fruit all leaders desire: vision, conviction, servanthood, perseverance, credibility, transformation, and resolve.

What do you really want?According to the Gospel of John, that's the first question Jesus asks His would-be disciples:“What do you want?”In this reflection on Psalm 1, John Ortberg explores why that may be one of the most important questions we ever answer.Our lives have a way of organizing themselves around our deepest desires.How do you spend your time?Your money?What makes you angry?What are you willing to sacrifice for?Those things often reveal what we want more accurately than our words do.Psalm 1 gives us a picture of a different kind of life: a flourishing person, like a tree planted beside streams of water, with roots sunk deeply into God.And John closes with the remarkable story of Natan Sharansky, who spent years imprisoned in the Soviet Union and memorized the entire Book of Psalms.When he was finally released, Sharansky refused to cross the bridge to freedom until his captors returned his copy of the Psalms.What we fill our minds with matters.Because what fills our minds helps shape what we desire.So today, ask yourself:What do I really want?And:What am I filling my mind with?In this episode:The first question Jesus asks in John's GospelHow our lives reveal what we actually wantPsalm 1 and the meaning of “blessed”What biblical flourishing looks likeThe tree planted beside streams of waterWhy invisible roots matterThe progression of walking, standing and sittingWhy Psalm 1 isn't a formula for easy circumstancesHow inner goodness crowds out envy and greedNatan Sharansky's remarkable storyHow the Psalms sustained him through Soviet imprisonmentWhy what we fill our minds with shapes our livesScriptures: John 1:35–38 • Psalm 1 • Acts 20:35 • Matthew 7:12#Psalm1 #JohnOrtberg #Psalms #Jesus #SpiritualFormation #Flourishing #BibleStudy #ChristianFaith #Prayer #NatanSharansky

A lonely road cuts through the darkened landscapes of East Anglia, passing heathland, forest, ancient trackways and places long associated with folklore.But along the A1075, witnesses have reported something far stranger than shadows at the roadside.In this atmospheric investigation, Haunted UK Podcast travels into the eerie borderlands of Norfolk and Suffolk to explore a series of unsettling encounters with large, hair-covered creatures seen near Thetford Forest, Wayland Wood, Peddars Way and the surrounding countryside. From a towering ape-like figure said to have drifted across the road in front of a startled driver, to reports of grey, long-snouted beasts, silent woodland apparitions, and a possible encounter with the legendary Black Shuck, these accounts form a strange and persistent pattern across decades.Rooted in local history, ancient routes, East Anglian folklore and modern witness testimony, this episode examines the stories of those who saw something they could not easily explain - and the lasting fear, confusion and fascination that followed.Featuring research compiled by Edward Oliver, with witness reports edited and inserted by Lucy Spirit, these accounts are presented with permission on behalf of those who came forward to share their experiences.Whether these sightings are misidentified animals, the influence of folklore on lonely night journeys, or something more difficult to define, the mystery of the Beast of the A1075 remains one of East Anglia's most intriguing roadside legends.Enjoyed the episode?

 Have you ever stopped to think about how many promises you've made to yourself... and then broken? "I'll start next week." "I'll take better care of myself." "I'll set the boundary." "I'll stop settling." "I'll make time for what matters." Most of us think our biggest challenge is confidence, motivation, or discipline. But what if the real issue is trust? Because every time we ignore our own needs, dismiss our own knowing, or break a promise we've made to ourselves, we weaken the relationship we have with ourselves. In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we're exploring self-trust, why so many women struggle with it, and how we unknowingly undermine ourselves every day. We talk about: why self-trust matters more than confidence the small promises we break without realizing it how people-pleasing erodes trust in ourselves ignoring our intuition and inner knowing the relationship between boundaries and self-respect rebuilding trust one choice at a time learning to become someone you can rely on Because the goal isn't to become perfect. The goal is to become someone who honors her own truth. And every time you keep your word to yourself, you take another step toward becoming that person. New episodes of Cacao Conversations drop weekly. Sip. Connect. Awaken. Hey! Thanks for listening!

What do you notice when you stop trying to get somewhere and simply pay attention to where you are? In this WALK WITH ME episode of Rooted, Susan invites you on a guided sensory scavenger hunt — a chance to slow your pace, step outside if you're able, and experience the place around you through sound, sight, smell, touch, and even taste. The walk begins with a simple check-in: How much tension are you carrying? How rushed do you feel? Where is your mind right now? From there, the invitation is simply to notice — a sound you haven't heard today, something you might normally walk past, the texture of bark or stone, the scent carried on the air. And then the walk becomes a little more playful. What might this place feel like if you experienced it as another creature? A fox moving quietly through familiar territory. A bird seeing the shape of the landscape from above. A rabbit alert to every vibration beneath its feet. For a few moments, the scavenger hunt becomes something more than a search for things to notice. It becomes an exploration of attention, belonging, and what changes when we remember that we aren't simply observers of the natural world. We are creatures, too. There's nothing you need to accomplish on this walk and nowhere in particular you need to arrive. Just bring yourself, move a little more slowly than usual, and see what you notice. Perhaps the things we've stopped noticing haven't disappeared. Perhaps we've simply been moving too quickly to see them.

Send us a text & leave your email address if you want a reply!Ever been told you're "too wet" or worried you're "not wet enough?" In this episode of Sex Reimagined, Leah Piper and Dr. Willow Brown break down the real truth behind vaginal wetness, arousal signals, and why lubrication isn't the only factor  with how turned on you actually are. They dig into why making noise during sex unlocks deeper arousal, the difference between Taoist and Tantric approaches to sounding, why lube should be a staple and never a source of shame, what happens once you experience female ejaculation, how to navigate period sex with confidence, and how to have a compassionate conversation with a partner about hygiene without triggering shame. This one is packed with practical, body-literate tools for anyone who has ever felt self-conscious about wetness, smell, sound, or fluids during sex.EPISODE HIGHLIGHTSWetness and arousal don't always match. Cervical fluid, cycle timing, and hormones can make you wet or dry independent of how turned on you feel.Sounding isn't performance, it's a shortcut to pleasure. Making noise from the top of your inhale to the bottom of your exhale moves energy and gets you out of your head.Female ejaculation strips away viscous fluid. Ejaculators often need more lube afterward, not less.Lube is a tool, not a confession. Reaching for it has nothing to do with how attracted you are to your partner.Period sex has ancient roots as ritual and healing, not just something to tolerate or avoid.Hygiene conversations go better with curiosity and a "we can do better here" frame instead of blame.LINKS & RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE CAN BE FOUND ON THE WEBSITE: https://www.sexreimagined.com/blog/too-wet-not-wet-enough Sexual Reflexology Online Masterclass - Join us September 2nd at 4pm Pacific / 7pm Eastern for a live masterclass on zoom.

The differences between an adult Sunday school class and one for kids are quite striking. A class for toddlers and preschoolers is rarely organized around the logic of a Bible passage, or even a lesson outline. Instead, lessons are structured by the classroom schedule and environment—by a basic routine and activity centers that are designed for play, music, the Bible story, and other games or crafts. How do we prepare children's lessons that are Christ-centered, biblically faithful, engaging for kids, and oriented towards the distinct ways that kids learn? This workshop will help you learn how to do just that. Jared Kennedy serves as an editor for The Gospel Coalition. He is also co-founder of Gospel-Centered Family and the author of books for children and families like Faith-Builder Catechism (New Growth Press, 2023), Keeping Your Children's Ministry on Mission (Crossway, 2022), and The Beginner's Gospel Story Bible (New Growth, 2017). He, his wife Megan, and their three daughters live in Louisville, Kentucky, where they attend Sojourn Church Midtown.

This Podcast drops at 9:09 AM EDT, my time of birth at Norfolk General Hospital in Norfolk, VA, 55 years ago! Birthday reflections from a seeker. Today, we're cutting through the static. Trolls and literalists can stay in the noise, but I am focused on forward momentum and the living, breathing AfroDruid Ethos. From the precision of my Virgo placements (that astrological meteorological clock) to the unwavering center of my Christian foundation, I'm demystifying the path and sharing the blueprint for a life that is Rooted, Shielded, and Undisturbed. Level up. Imagine trading the constant vigilance of modern life for serene mountain air, slow mornings, and undisturbed quiet.
