“When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure.” – Unknown Grief is a topic that we need more and more insight and understanding, and my guest, Thomas Attig, will bring depth to this conversation. He comes to us today highly credentialed and has been honored with several distinguished awards for his contributions to the study of grief, bereavement, and applied philosophy. The wake of our loved one's last breath washes over our world. We can easily lose our bearings in swirling winds of change and in a fog of suffering, separation, and aloneness. The color and vitality go out of things, places, events, activities, and experiences.  Those closest to us can seem distant. It can feel as if chaos has broken out, even as we resent the larger world going on as if nothing has happened. Thomas Attig is the author of The Heart of Grief: Death and the Search for Lasting Love and How We Grieve: Relearning the World.  His new collection, SEEKING WISDOM IN DEATH'S SHADOWS: Collected Writings on How We Grieve, distills a lifetime of listening, reflection, and teaching into understanding and guidance for mourners, caregivers, and counselors.

Send us Fan MailGrief can feel like you've been dropped into an alien landscape where the smallest routines no longer make sense and the future stops looking familiar. I sit down with applied philosopher and grief studies pioneer Thomas Attig to talk about why that disorientation is not a malfunction. It's what love does to a life, and it's why grieving is less about “getting over it” and more about relearning the world after loss.We dig into the difference between reactions and responses in bereavement. Yes, sorrow hits hard, but Thomas argues that grief also includes agency: how we meet the changed facts of family, work, identity, and daily life. Along the way, he shares the teaching stories that shaped his work in death education and grief counseling, including what people actually need from us when they're mourning and why platitudes can land like harm.We also explore continuing bonds and the heart of grief: moving from loving someone who is physically present to continuing to love them after they die. We talk spirituality in a grounded way, including remembrance practices, speaking a loved one's name, and the soul and spirit language Thomas developed over decades of writing. He closes with a powerful “fragile humanity, handle with care” reflection that asks whether it's okay to be small, impermanent, mortal, uncertain, and sometimes suffering.If you want to go deeper, Thomas' new collection, Seeking Wisdom in Death's Shadows, is available through Oxford University Press, and listeners can use a discount code shared in our conversation.

In this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we're breaking down current events that should have everyone asking deeper questions and not just passively scrolling past them.Why are the Epstein files still not fully released? Why are there still no real Epstein trials? And why does it feel like the conversation keeps shifting right when accountability should be front and center?We're talking about Donald Trump, the ongoing silence surrounding Epstein files-related justice, and the growing tensions that are pushing us closer to global conflict. Is it all coincidence or is distraction the entire point?I'm discussing the idea that war, chaos, and constant petty headlines can be used to redirect public attention away from uncomfortable truths. And more importantly, I challenge the mindset that's keeping people passive:The obsession with “being nice.”Niceness is not a fruit of the Spirit.Kindness is, but kindness does not mean tolerating evil, ignoring corruption, or staying silent when truth is inconvenient for you.Our current culture rewards passivity and punishes boldness, but we have to ask:Are we ignoring evil to protect our image?Have we confused politeness with righteousness?And what happens to a society that refuses to confront what is wrong?Evil doesn't retreat when it's ignored.It advances when good people stay quiet and do nothing.Stop acting like nothing is different when everything has changed.--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app

In Part 2 of my conversation with Stacy M., we continue pulling back the curtain on Freemasonry and examining the questions most people are told not to ask.If the organization is simply a harmless fraternity, why so much secrecy? Why the elaborate rituals, layered symbolism, and strict oaths? And why have so many influential leaders throughout history been tied to it?In this episode, we dig deeper into the structure of Freemasonry, the meaning behind its rituals and symbols, and the concerns many Christians and researchers have raised about its spiritual and cultural influence. We also discuss why criticism of the organization is often quickly dismissed—and why that reaction alone should make people more curious, not less.This conversation isn't about sensationalism. It's about discernment. When powerful institutions operate largely out of public view yet intersect with leadership, culture, and faith, they deserve thoughtful examination.The goal isn't to tell people what to think, but to encourage them to start asking questions for themselves.--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app

Today on Uncommon Sense, I'm joined by Stacy M. for a conversation that too many people are afraid (or unwilling) to have.We're discussing Freemasonry: what it is, what it claims to be, and the darker, more sinister elements that often get brushed aside or ignored entirely. From secrecy and symbolism to influence and power, we're asking the questions that rarely get real answers.Why has this secret society maintained such a strong presence for so long? Why does it seem to intersect so frequently with positions of power—including within our own government? And most importantly… why aren't more people talking about it?This episode isn't about blind accusations, it's about awareness. If something holds influence, operates behind closed doors, and shapes culture or leadership in any capacity, it deserves scrutiny.It's time to start paying attention and asking better questions.--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app

  In this episode of the Profitable Christian Business Podcast, Doug Greathouse sits down with John Munsell, CEO of Bizzuka and author of INGRAIN AI: Strategy Through Execution, to unpack why most businesses struggle with AI — and what Christian leaders can do differently. John explains that AI failure is rarely a technology issue. Instead, it's a strategy and leadership problem. Without a unified approach, companies save time but fail to generate real value or revenue. This conversation explores how AI can become a force multiplier rather than a distraction, why AI fluency must be shared across teams, and how faith and stewardship should guide AI adoption. John also shares practical guidance for solopreneurs and leaders who feel overwhelmed by how fast AI is moving. If you're a business owner, leader, or solopreneur who wants to implement AI wisely, ethically, and profitably, this episode provides both clarity and direction. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why AI is a strategy problem, not a tech problem The difference between saving time and creating revenue Why most companies fail without a unified AI framework How AI can enhance people instead of replacing them Why AI fluency should exist across the entire organization How Christian leadership shapes ethical AI deployment Practical AI advice for solopreneurs and small teams Key Quotes: "They lack a unified strategy." "AI can shape culture and behavior." "You need to be a good steward of those gifts." ⏱️ Episode Chapters 00:00 – Introduction to John Munsell and AI in Business 04:50 – John's Journey into AI and Market Trends 09:42 – Why Unified Strategy Matters 14:34 – Turning AI Into Revenue 19:49 – AI for Solopreneurs 29:30 – The Blueprint for AI Adoption 31:14 – Implementing AI the Right Way 32:43 – Why AI Adoption Fails 37:01 – Building an AI-First Culture 38:38 – Scalable Prompt Engineering Explained 44:15 – Taking the First Step with AI 47:20 – Seeking Wisdom in a Rapidly Changing World 52:12 – Faith, Ethics, and Responsibility in AI 54:58 – Resources for Implementing AI

This week we explore what biblical wisdom really looks like. Drawing from Proverbs and the New Testament, Pastor Brent shows how true wisdom comes from God and is ultimately found in Jesus.

In this episode of The Better Life, Dr. Pinkston sits down with renowned philosopher and author Thomas Attig to tackle one of life’s most difficult and avoided subjects: death and grieving. Moving beyond the common "five stages" model, Thomas shares his unique existential approach to loss. He explains that grieving isn't just a reaction that washes over us—it is an active response where we must reconstruct our daily lives and redirect our personal histories. Dr. Pinkston and Thomas explore the concept of "dancing with the mysteries," encouraging listeners to embrace their fragile humanity—including vulnerability and impermanence—rather than fighting against it. Key topics discussed include: Why contemporary medicine often fails to address the deep emotional work of grieving. The difference between Everyday Problems (managed by the ego) and Mysteries (responded to by the soul). How to find "wise people" in your own life who can listen without judgment. Practical insights from Thomas's books, Seeking Wisdom in Death’s Shadow and Catching Your Breath in Grief. Understanding the Active Process of Grief Thomas Attig emphasizes that grieving is a dual experience involving both passive suffering and active engagement. FeatureGrief as Reaction (Passive)Grief as Response (Active)ExperienceFeelings of sadness and distress "washing over" you.Re-learning how to live in a world that has changed.ActionCrying, screaming, or waiting for time to heal the wound.Reshaping daily routines and finding new meaning.FocusThe emotional "hit" of the loss.The intentional effort to put a life back together.Export to SheetsThe Four Constants of Fragile Humanity Dr. Pinkston and Thomas discuss four essential truths that humans often try to deny, which can lead to chronic unhappiness. To live with integrity, we must accept that we are: Small and Insignificant in the grand scale of the universe. Susceptible to Suffering and physical pain. Living in Uncertainty without all the answers. Impermanent and susceptible to dying. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New: Seeking Wisdom (Anna Ventura) by Pastor Harold Guerra

On this episode of The Sea Captain Leadership Podcast, host Phil Bender sits down with Danny Kenny—leadership and performance coach, behavioral scientist, former college soccer player, and facilitator with organizations such as Inspirecore and the McChrystal Group.Danny's story is one of identity, resilience, and meaning. After years of defining himself through athletic performance, the end of his playing career sparked a profound personal transition. That journey led him into the world of behavioral science, human performance, and leadership development—ultimately shaping a mission to help others “unlock their lives” and pursue aligned, purposeful success.Together, Phil and Danny explore how performance is built, how identity evolves, and how leaders can move from striving to living with intention, authenticity, and clarity.What We DiscussThe Making of a CoachHow Danny's early experiences in sports shaped his view of teamwork, discipline, and leadership—and how those lessons became the foundation of his coaching approach.Behavioral Science Meets Human PotentialDanny shares why he pursued a PhD to understand why people act the way they do—and how research-based insight informs real, human-centered development.Learning Design as Leadership WorkA look at Danny's approach to designing learning experiences—from intentional agendas to behavioral systems—and why structure matters in real change.Identity After SportsWhen the cheering stops, many athletes face a loss of direction. Danny opens up about his own transition and how that experience now fuels his work helping others navigate major life and career shifts.Unlocking Meaning & PurposeWe discuss the shift from high performance to aligned performance—where success is not just measured, but felt.Danny shares how he helps individuals reconnect to meaning, values, and self-leadership.The Work AheadDanny reflects on the projects that inspire him today—from coaching leadership teams to writing his Seeking Wisdom newsletter—and shares his vision for helping people make work more human, fulfilling, and alive.Key TakeawaysPerformance isn't just skill—it's identity, purpose, and environment.True growth happens when we ask who we are becoming, not just what we're achieving.Learning design shapes behavior change; change doesn't happen by accident.Transitions are invitations—opportunities to redefine what matters most.Leadership begins with self-awareness and expands outward through intentional influence.Connect with usSeaCaptainCoaching.com

“Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!” — Luke 1:45 In many ways Mary's surprise pregnancy was not welcome news. Though she had accepted God's will, it must have been puzzling. God's way of working in her life was rather shocking and scandalous in the society she lived in. Though she would be called “blessed,” Mary probably did not enjoy much support from her local community at the time.How do we find space to process what God is doing in the hard situations of life?Mary wisely sought out the counsel of her relative Elizabeth, who was also pregnant through a miracle of God's grace. The journey there would not have been easy, taking Mary about a week during a time in her pregnancy when she might have been very tired. But Mary likely sensed in Elizabeth a kindred spirit who could help her think through the surprising things God was doing in their lives.Christmas can encourage us to seek out godly wisdom as well. Maybe we are in a difficult, unexpected situation. Maybe we feel abandoned or even shunned by a community we thought would support and encourage us.Who are the people who can help us trust in God's promises even amid such puzzling, challenging times?Alternatively, how can we be a friend who points out God's work to others? Heavenly Father, it is a blessing to believe your Word to us. May we believe that you will fulfill what you have promised. Open our eyes to Jesus' coming into our lives. Amen.

Sermon from Ecclesiastes 7:15-29 by Bret Rogers

Presentation by Robert L. Luddy in St. Monica Hall, St. Joseph Catholic Church, Raleigh, NC at 7:00 pm. Mr. Luddy is the founder and CEO of CaptiveAire Systems.  He also founded Franklin Academy, St. Thomas More Academy, and Thales Academy. 

Focus: As Christians, our security and comfort come from God's love for us and the future God promises which is fulfilled in Jesus. God has already thought of us first, so we are free to humbly think of others first. In humility we don't drag ourselves down, we think more of others and lift them up. Luke 7:36-50

Focus: Speaking up for the voiceless begins with listening to the unheard. Wisdom from the margins reshapes our assumptions and fuels our advocacy. To reflect God's justice, we must first mirror His attentiveness. Proverbs 31:8–9

What does it mean to truly possess wisdom in a world that often confuses it with mere knowledge? Through an engaging exploration of three biblical figures—Adam, Solomon, and Jesus—we discover a profound progression in the pursuit of wisdom that transforms not just our thinking, but our very relationships.Adam stands as a sobering warning. In the perfection of Eden, he had everything yet reached for the one thing God withheld, believing it would make him wise. His story reveals the devastating consequences of seeking wisdom apart from God: broken relationships, fear, and spiritual death. As Thomas aptly puts it, "Adam is a man trying to build a structure with no help, no wisdom, no guidance," and the results were catastrophic.Solomon offers a refreshing contrast. When given the opportunity to ask for anything, he requested wisdom not for personal gain but to govern God's people well. His prayer for "an understanding mind to discern between good and evil" pleased God so much that he received not just wisdom but riches and honor as well. Solomon's approach demonstrates that wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord—not a cowering terror but a reverent awe that drives us toward obedience rather than away from God's presence.The culmination comes in Jesus Christ, who doesn't merely seek or teach wisdom but embodies it perfectly. What Adam lost and Solomon sought, Christ restores completely. Through his life, death, and resurrection, Jesus offers us not just knowledge but transformative wisdom that changes us from the inside out.The practical application comes through a powerful cycle of growth: filling our minds with knowledge, walking accordingly in obedience, bearing fruit that benefits others, which in turn deepens our knowledge of God. This cycle, empowered by prayer and God's grace, gradually transforms our thinking and consequently our relationships.Whether you're building relationships, making critical decisions, or simply trying to navigate daily challenges, this message offers a compelling vision for how biblical wisdom—rooted in the fear of the Lord and fulfilled in Christ—can transform every aspect of your life.
