California State Senate candidate Bishop Art Hodges explores the intersection of church and politics. Rooted in Jesus' prayer, “Thy will be done on Earth as in Heaven,” Hodges argues that political engagement and public service are Christian virtues. He believes pastors have avoided political issues for fear of dividing their congregations—but says that must end, because America's political landscape has shifted from Right vs. Left to Right vs. Wrong. With people of faith often withdrawing from the ‘unsavoriness' of politics, only 25% of evangelical Christians vote in California. Hodges lays out his plan to mobilize this demographic and rescue the Golden State from darkness and bankruptcy under decades of one-party rule.

We live in a world that idolizes hustle. But what if rest was actually the secret weapon?Todd Vinson with Overlander Consulting, is back talking about rest. Not just taking a nap or getting into some good sleep habits. The kind of rest he talks about with Chris is much more.Physical Rest restores the body. When we sleep, we heal. Muscles rebuild. Hormones balance. Clarity returns.Emotional Rest allows us to breathe. It gives space to name what we're feeling instead of stuffing it down or numbing it out.Mental Rest silences the noise. It's the margin we create when we step away from screens, plans, and the need to solve every problem.Todd Vinson is the founder of Overlander Consulting.Overlander's Goal is to be:Rooted in insight.‍Driven by purpose.‍Focused on people, over performance.To find out more about Overlander Consulting, schedule a 30 minute session or subscribe to Todd's blog click on: https://www.overlanderconsulting.com/contact

Send us a textAmanda stops by the show to discuss her dream of building a bookstore, Blind Date With a Book Boyfriend, and more.****Side note - in my wrap up I mention that no harm that also included animals.***********My love for reading began at a young age—curled up with a book, a fluffy blanket, a warm candle flickering nearby, and a cup of London Fog tea from Harney & Sons in hand. There's nothing quite like escaping into another world, especially a good dystopian novel (bonus points if it's by Tahereh Mafi, my favorite author).When I moved to Yuma, Arizona, in 2023, I was surprised to find how limited the local bookstore scene was. Aside from a small, soon-to-close shop downtown and the ever-reliable Barnes & Noble, there weren't many spaces for readers to gather, connect, or simply exist in the cozy, book-loving atmosphere I'd always craved.That's what inspired me to create Sage and Story—a place that's more than just a bookstore. I wanted to offer the community a true literary haven: a welcoming, peaceful space to read, chat over tea, join a book club, or just browse without the pressure of big-name retail.I started small, selling used books from home with a dream of one day opening a storefront. For now, it's all about small steps and shared stories. By this time next year, I hope to be running Sage and Story from a cozy, shared space—turning a passion into a full-time purpose.Sage & Story is a cozy, community-minded bookstore dream growing in the heart of Yuma, Arizona. Rooted in the peaceful energy of the desert, we believe in the quiet power of books to inspire, heal, and connect.What started as a small idea — a few donated books and a love for stories — is becoming a space where neighbors swap stories, slow down, and rediscover joy through reading.We sell gently used books, and the goal to some day  build a reading space that's calm, inclusive, and full of soothing, cafe vibes.

In today's episode of Daily Influence, Brian explores one of the most underestimated tools in leadership and human connection: the apology. Rooted in The I in Team Series and strengthened by the S.M.A.R.T. framework, a genuine apology becomes more than an admission of fault—it becomes a strategic act of responsible influence. Brian breaks down how accepting responsibility restores psychological safety, how meaningful repair strengthens relationships, and how intentional realignment brings teams back to shared purpose. When done well, an apology shifts influence from reactive to intentional, turning moments of conflict into opportunities for growth and unity. Your influence is constant—make sure it reflects integrity, humility, and accountability.

Chef Pyet DeSpain joins the New Books Network to discuss her new cookbook, Rooted in Fire: A Celebration of Native American and Mexican Cooking (HarperOne, 2025). Drawing from her Potawatomi and Mexican heritage, DeSpain shares recipes that connect past and present, including bison meatballs with Wojape BBQ sauce, raspberry mezcal quail, and poblano-corn tamales. Each dish reflects her effort to preserve tradition while creating something new. In this conversation, Pyet talks about growing up between two cultures and how understanding their shared roots changed her approach to food and identity. She reflects on rediscovering ancestral ingredients, the meaning of her tribe's “keeper of the fire” role, and the importance of gratitude and ceremony in her cooking. She also speaks about the family members, chefs, friends and home cooks who inspire her to keep Native American and Mexican foodways alive, ensuring that these traditions continue to be seen, shared, and celebrated.

What if your desire isn't dangerous, but divine?In this deeply transformative episode, Emily sits down with Dr. Kimberly Rose Pendleton, an intimacy coach, scholar, and founder of UNCOVER, to explore what it means to heal from purity culture and reclaim your body, your voice, and your power. Together, they unravel centuries of conditioning that taught women to equate goodness with obedience and holiness with self-denial, and invite listeners into a radical reframe: that pleasure is sacred, not selfish.Kimberly shares her personal story of deconstructing evangelical beliefs, walking away from a marriage that no longer fit, and rediscovering her aliveness through the practice of pleasure. Rooted in her academic background at Yale and her years of coaching women around the world, she blends intellect and embodiment in a way that feels both revolutionary and deeply human. From the theology of Mary Magdalene to the lived reality of womanhood today, she illuminates how pleasure becomes a path back to the divine, and how reclaiming it is one of the most powerful ways women can heal from religious trauma, shame, and repression.Emily and Kimberly dive into the hidden history of Mary Magdalene, a wealthy, powerful spiritual leader erased and rewritten as a sinner by the early Church, and what her true story reveals about the fear of feminine wisdom. They explore how purity culture and patriarchy sought to silence women's voices, sexual expression, and intuition, and why remembering the Magdalene lineage is an act of both spiritual and societal revolution.Whether you grew up in the church or simply absorbed the cultural messaging that your worth depends on being “good,” this conversation is an invitation to return to yourself. To soften the shame, to listen to your body, and to remember that your joy, your sensuality, and your truth are not something to hide, they're the very portals to your power, purpose, and divine connection.In this episode, we explore:How purity culture continues to shape women's bodies, relationships, and sense of worth, even outside organized religionWhy pleasure is sacred, not selfish, and how reconnecting with it helps women return to their powerThe connection between pleasure, spirituality, and embodiment, and why they were never meant to be separateThe hidden truth about Mary Magdalene, her role as a wealthy priestess, spiritual leader, and symbol of feminine wisdom erased by patriarchyWhat the Gospel of Mary reveals about women's direct access to the divine, and why her story was rewritten by the early ChurchHow patriarchy and purity culture weaponized holiness, shame, and obedience to control women's bodies and voicesPractical ways to begin reclaiming pleasure and power in everyday life, through beauty, embodiment, and self-trustThe ripple effect of women in their pleasure, how wholeness, joy, and desire create collective healing and transformationBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect & Work with Dr. Kimberly Rose Pendleton:Harlots & Heretics — a three-part journey through the hidden, holy history of women labeled “dangerous,” guiding you to reclaim your own sacred power.

The sermon presents a comprehensive theological exploration of the saving work of Christ on the cross, emphasizing seven essential concepts—redemption, expiation, substitution, propitiation, justification, reconciliation, and salvation—that collectively reveal the full scope of Christ's atonement. Each term highlights a distinct aspect of the cross: redemption provides forgiveness through Christ's payment, expiation removes the guilt of sin, substitution involves Christ taking humanity's place, propitiation satisfies God's righteous wrath, justification declares believers righteous, reconciliation restores broken fellowship with God, and salvation delivers from sin's power across past, present, and future dimensions of the believer's life. Rooted in Scripture and grounded in historical Christian doctrine, the message underscores that Christ's sacrifice fully addresses both the penalty and power of sin, transforming the throne of God from a seat of judgment to one of mercy, and securing a complete, ongoing, and future restoration of humanity's relationship with God.

What if longevity wasn't about adding more to your routine, but about helping your body do what it's already designed to do? Today on Rooted in Wellness, I'm joined by Dan Pardi, Chief Health Officer at Qualia Life Sciences, to explore how stem cells, cellular repair, and resilience actually work in the body. We discuss why recovery shifts as we age, the role of inflammation in slowing regeneration, and how simple lifestyle rhythms like movement, sleep in true darkness, fasting, and circadian alignment create the internal environment for healing. We also look at senolytics, autophagy, and stem cell support through a grounded, science-informed lens that feels accessible rather than extreme. This is the bridge we love on this show: emerging research meeting practical daily life. Dan Pardi leads health strategy and research at Qualia Life Sciences, where he focuses on supporting the body's natural repair systems through education, systems-level formulation, and a healthspan-first approach. His work blends emerging science with real-world application to help people feel well longer.

This week's show is with Tad Hargrave. Tad is a hippy who developed a knack for marketing (and then learned how to be a hippy again). Since 2001, he's been weaving together strands of ethical marketing, Waldorf School education, a history in the performing arts, local culture work, anti-globalization activism, an interest in his ancestral, traditional cultures, community building and supporting local economies into this work of helping people create profitable businesses that are ethically grown while restoring the beauty of the marketplace. Tad did improv comedy semi-professionally for 25 years, co-ran Edmonton's progressive community building network TheLocalGood.ca, founded streetcarshows.com and the Jams program of yesworld.org. He speaks Scottish Gaelic and helped to launch and co-facilitate the Nova Scotia Gaels Jam. He is from Edmonton, Alberta (traditionally known, in the language of the Cree, as Amiskwaciy [Beaver Hill] and later Amiskwaciwaskihegan [Beaver Hill House]) and currently lives in Duncan, BC (Quw'utsun territory). In this episode, Lian and Tad explore how living stories form culture, meaning they're more than psychological metaphors, they're teachings tied to the land and beings around us. They touch upon Tad's Waldorf childhood and the years he drifted, the Gaelic homecoming that pulled him to Scotland and an elder storyteller. They follow the thread from archetype to architecture… sun, soil, and seasons. From there the conversation turns to how stories remember what a culture must not forget, why punishment poisons, and how initiation is smuggled into folktales so boys and girls grow into people. Listen if you have ever felt imprinted by myth then somehow lost your connection to it, wondered why archetypes can feel lacking, or longed for belonging. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: How Tad's own hunger for ancestral story led him from activism to Gaelic study, reawakening a lineage of belonging How old stories once carried medicine, mapping the plants, elements, and ethics that kept a people alive Why myth without land becomes psychology, and what returns when stories are rooted back in place Resources and stuff spoken about: Visit Tad's Website Tad's Ethical Marketing Starter Kit Find out more about Membership for Marketing for Hippies Join Tad on Instagram & YouTube See Tad's Upcoming Events Join UNIO, The Community for Wild Sovereign Souls: This is for the old souls in this new world… Discover your kin & unite with your soul's calling to truly live your myth.

SMART Recovery's Director of Outreach, Jasmine Hilbert, recently appeared on an Ohio-based podcast to share her recovery journey. In this special collaboration with the Rooted in Hope Podcast  and Producer Kurt Kleidon, we proudly offer this episode here on our platform.  About this podcast: Rooted in Hope is a podcast that shares the real tales of those who are impacted by substance use disorder or mental illness with the intention of breaking the stigma. We are rooted in Ohio and driven to make a difference in and around our state. Thanks to our allies at Rooted in Hope for permission to share this compelling story of a woman who had reached a point in her life where she didn't want this to be her narrative, so she rewrote her story. 

We live in a shallow and uprooted society, but as Christians, we can be firmly rooted in our relationship with Christ. In this series, Rooted for Growth, we will discover the nutrients we need to remain spiritually strong. If you don't have a healthy spiritual root system then every part of your life is impacted negatively. Through today's Scriptures we will explore what it means to be a rooted Christian who is growing in the likeness of Jesus Christ.

☞ ABOUT THIS MESSAGE Jim's message explored the true meaning of belonging to Christ, focusing on spiritual identity and persecution. Drawing from John 15 and 16, he emphasized three key principles: making Jesus our foundation, recognizing our true belonging to God rather than the world, and developing deep and wide roots in our faith. He described the Christian life as a well-watered garden, thriving even in persecution. The message challenged us to consider if we face persecution for genuine faith or mere religious behavior, highlighting that true belonging to Christ sets us apart from worldly systems and empty religion.   ☞ BIBLE APP NOTES https://www.bible.com/events/49520126   ☞ GROUP LEADER GUIDE https://page.church.tech/274affff   ☞ NEXT STEPS

In this episode we speak to Nadia Barhoum, founder of Thurayya - an initiative to cultivate Palestinians seeds and keep Palestinian crops alive in diaspora. We traveled to her farm in Petaluma where we were able to sit down and talk about what farming means, the significance of seed saving and the dream to build spaces for Palestinians to exist within each other.ABOUT NADIANadia Barhoum is the founder of a seed-saving and land stewardship initiative called Thurayya. She began farming in 2019, following a desire to be closer to the land in the way her family had been for generations in their small village of Al Malha, Palestine. They were forcibly expelled in 1948 by Israeli armed militias. Through Thurayya, she wants to uphold and restore relationships to the land that have been severed by ongoing occupation and dispossession in the SWANA (Southwest Asia and North Africa region). She is growing out and saving seeds from a variety of vegetables, herbs and other perennials from Palestine and the SWANA region to share with her community in the Bay Area. She hopes these special plants can bring a part of her home and their stories back to her community.In Rising for Our Motherlands, we pracitce Freedom Dreaming. Rooted in the Black radical tradition and illuminated by historian Robin D.G. Kelley, Freedom Dreaming calls us to use imagination as a tool for liberation — to envision and build futures grounded in care, resistance, and collective love.A huge thank you to Salma Taleb, Hesham Jarmakani, Francesca Juico, Chris Wanis, and Carmelo Ibanez for our beautiful theme music and to our co-conspirator & We Rise producer Cat Petru for weaving our voices and songs together.Podcast art created by nicole gervacio.This episode features music from El-Funoun, DAM, & FairouzLearn more about Nadia and Thurayya at www.thurayya.org

This week on the Mind Movement Health podcast, Kate Boyle talks with Xeba Zareie founder of Preme, about her recovery from severe gut issues and the science behind her prebiotic, electrolyte and gut-repair products. They explain the difference between prebiotics and probiotics, the importance of FODMAP-friendly fibers, and why magnesium and trace minerals matter for digestion and mood. The episode offers practical steps to support gut health: increase plant diversity and fiber gradually, consider targeted supplements like magnesium glycinate and hyaluronic acid for gut repair, get tested if you bloat easily, and support detoxification with hydration, sweating and liver-supportive practices.   Connect with Xeba Zareie: When founder Xeba Zareie struggled with persistent gut illness, the usual solutions—antibiotics and store-bought probiotics—only made her worse. She finally found relief through Functional Medicine, using a low-FODMAP diet and targeted prebiotic fiber. But that experience revealed a larger problem: most people can't afford out-of-pocket Functional Medicine care, and most “gut-friendly” brands aren't actually IBS-friendly, often contain added probiotics, and frankly… taste bad. Determined to create both indulgence and alternative-medicine-level support for the growing number of people with gut issues, Xeba founded Preme—a premium gut-health brand offering noticeable, science-backed medicinal nutrition you actually crave. What began in her Dallas kitchen has grown into a targeted line of gut-focused staples: two prebiotic electrolyte drink mixes and an unflavored prebiotic fiber powder, all designed for even the most sensitive stomachs. Rooted in a lifelong healing journey and crafted with clinical insight, Preme brings body-and-soul support to everyday wellness. It's gut care that's tasty, approachable, and made with Functional Medicine-doctor-prescribed prebiotic fibers and premium ingredients. Because gut health shouldn't be a luxury, it should be trusted support, finally within reach.

In many East Asian cultures, childbirth marks not just a beginning, but a sacred period of recovery known as Zuò Yuè Zi, or “sitting the month.” Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, this postnatal confinement practice emphasizes rest, warmth, and nourishment to restore balance and vitality after delivery, which is said to deplete the mother's qi, or vital life force.

The Holy Spirit doesn't just want to fill your heart—He wants to flow through your hands.In this powerful message, discover how to be deeply ROOTED in the fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience…) while being boldly RELEASED in the gifts of the Spirit (healing, faith, prophecy, miracles…).A tree is known by its fruit… but a Spirit-filled life produces both character AND power.If you've ever wondered, “Can I really walk in both godly character AND supernatural power?”—this message is for you.

This Scripture meditation on Matthew 5:14–16 uses the lectio divina model to help you pause, breathe, and listen for God’s voice. Step 12 of the 12 Steps invites us to live out the hope and healing we’ve received and to share it with others. It says, Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to others and to practice these principles in all our affairs. When we experience the transforming grace of Jesus, the natural response is to let it overflow and share it with others. Or as Jesus said, “Freely you received, freely give.” In this meditation, we’ll reflect on Jesus’ words from the Sermon on the Mount, where He calls His followers the light of the world. Even the smallest light can break through darkness, and God’s invitation is simply to shine the light He has already placed within you. As you listen, you’ll be invited to: Reflect on what it means to be a light in the world. Notice how God may be calling you to share His hope and love. Rest in the truth that your light is enough, because it comes from Him. Take a deep breath, quiet your heart, and let Matthew 5 guide you into God’s presence.

In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.

Todaywe're continuing to look at the prayer, the petition, that the Apostle Paulprayed for the saints there at the church of Ephesus. The first thing he prayedfor in verse 16 is that they would “be strengthened with might through HisSpirit in the inner man”. They'd have spiritual energy to live for the LordJesus Christ and to do the will of God. Secondly, Paul prayed, “that Christmay dwell in your hearts through faith that you being rooted and groundedin love”. So, the second thing now Paul is praying for is the depth oftheir spiritual experience in Christ. How deep is your spiritual life? Youknow, so many Christians are like a mile wide and an inch deep. They display alot of Christianity until they end up in a different situation, a crisis, thenit's revealed they have no depth to their Christian life. That's what Paul ispraying for, that there would be depth in their spiritual walk with God. Heuses three words in verse 17 to speak of this depth. The first word is “dwell”.Then the second is “rooted”. The third word is “grounded”.  Theword “dwell” is a word that speaks of Christ being at home in our hearts. WhatPaul is praying for is a deeper experience between Christ and His people. Heyearns for Christ to settle down and feel at home in their hearts—not a surfacerelationship, but an ever-deepening fellowship. Not only are we at home inChrist, He's at home in our hearts. Abraham is a good illustration of this.When God and the two angels came to see Abraham after He has promised him ason, God felt at home with Abraham. He sat down to have a meal with him. Heconversed with him. He talked with him. But then, God had another thing on Hisagenda, that was the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. He didn't go to Lot'shouse. He sent the two angels because He didn't feel at home in Lot's heart.So, my friend, to dwell in our hearts means Christ is at home. He has a placewhere He can commune and fellowship with us. Jesus is always a welcome guest. Now,already we are saints. That's what Paul addressed these Christians at Ephesuswith in the very first verse of the book: “To the saints at Ephesus”. So,they're saints already. They are already in Christ. Christ is already in them.But the question is, does Christ dwell in your hearts? Is He abiding in yourheart? (John 15:7-8).  Thesecond word that we see here is the word “rooted”. The verb rootedmoves us into the plant world. The tree must get its roots deep into the soilif it is to have both nourishment and stability; and the Christian must havehis spiritual roots deep into the love of God. Psalm 1:2-3 is a perfectdescription of this word. Jeremiah 17:5-8 is agood commentary on it. One of the most important questions a Christian can askhimself is, "From what do I draw my nourishment and my stability?" Ifthere is to be power in the Christian life, then there must be depth. The rootsmust go deeper and deeper into the love of Christ. Thirdly,we see the word “grounded”. Grounded is an architectural term; it refersto the foundations on which we build. There's only one foundation that can bein our lives and that's the foundation of Jesus Christ. We know that theexperiences of life, the trials of life will expose if we're building on thefirm foundation of Jesus Christ. Which means we have depth. Jesus said it thisway in Luke 6:47-48, He is like a man building a house, whodug deep and laid the foundation on the rock.  We'redwelling in Christ. Christ is dwelling in us. We have deep roots into thefoundation, Christ Himself. “Christ is our life” (Colossians 3:4). “Forto me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain” (Philippians 1:21).  That is then the story of our life. It's aChrist-like life. It's exchanged life, as Hudson Taylor put it.  Myfriend, that's what we need to have. That's why Paul prayed for the depth, thedepth of our love in Christ. We should pray for that not only for ourselves,but for others.  Godbless!
