The Rizzuto Show is preparing for the Glory Hole Challenge, which is already a sentence nobody involved should be particularly proud of.Before Riz sticks his face anywhere questionable, the crew tackles another important milestone of getting older: figuring out which hobbies are officially too dangerous to start now. Skateboarding? Probably. Skiing? Maybe. Water skiing? Enjoy your new meniscus. Playing guitar? Absolutely. Learning the tuba? Sure, assuming everyone else in your house has wronged you somehow.Rafe remembers the time he tried dropping into a half-pipe for a commercial despite having absolutely no business doing so, while Moon offers to teach everyone how to ski before somebody reaches “child death velocity” on the bunny slope. It's the kind of responsible recreational advice you can only get from a funny podcast where one member once got mocked by a child on a scooter.Then the show launches into a full investigation of “normal” behavior. Eating pizza crust first? Jail. Ice cubes in milk? Disturbing. Rewatching the same TV show for the 45th time? Completely acceptable. Eating cereal dry? Depends how comfortable you are looking like a raccoon that found an open pantry. Setting approximately 20 alarms every morning? Rafe would like a word. Looking up a movie's ending while you're still watching it? Lern has her reasons, especially if there's an animal involved.We also learn that some people sit in their cars after arriving home just to enjoy a few precious minutes of solitude, Scott would apparently like to eventually become Amish rather than answer his phone, and grocery shopping without a list is basically allowing the spirits of Schnucks to determine your dinner.And then comes the cheese.Is it acceptable to unwrap a block of cheese and bite directly into it? Lern says yes. Rafe admits he'll sneak a bite but then cut away the evidence like a dairy-based criminal mastermind. Moon understands the temptation. Riz is understandably concerned about everybody. What begins as a simple question somehow turns into an argument about cheese cubes, rectangles, parallelograms, Rubik's Cubes and Michelangelo — until Rafe declares himself a “cheese sculptor” whose teeth are merely the tools of his art.Throw in concert harmonica etiquette, peanut butter burgers, phone habits, restaurant-menu preparation, celebrity chatter and the approaching Glory Hole Challenge, and you have another funny podcast proving that no topic is too insignificant to become a completely unnecessary 20-minute argument.It's The Rizzuto Show: where growing older may bring wisdom, but apparently none of it is being used here.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We met some fascinating new people during Human Bingo, including a local legend who made the news for mooning TV cameras during a high speed chase in LA. We also talked to a guy who wrestled Michael Jackson in a viral video, and poor Jodie who lost $50,000 to a bank scammer. Ally's Hot Sister returned to the airwave today for an update on her life and spoiler alert: it's going great! She has a new job she didn't even need to interview for, vacations to Portugal and Hawaii lined up, and she recently transitioned from a personal trainer to reformer pilates because she was getting 'too muscular.' She also had a proposition for Ally, and for her whole family, to apply for Italian citizenship. We checked in with Johnny who was live at the Klein.Ally.Show "We Suck" Blood Drive and per usual his contributions were a total sh*tshow. When asking him to count to ten for an audio test, he began singing his ABC's. But we met a lot of inspiring people donating their blood for free crap. Thank you to everyone who donated!! Plus Klein gets picked again in this weeks' Box of Shame, how many times a year you need a vacation in Clickbait, and a full Friday round of Johnny Doesn't Know!

In Day 197, the final lesson of Orchot Tzaddikim, The Ways of the Righteous, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe brings the entire journey to its culmination. The author returns to the idea that the human being is an Olam Katan—a miniature world. The wonders of creation, both physical and spiritual, are reflected within the human being, and the soul itself reflects, in an infinitely limited way, attributes that point us toward the Creator. Just as the soul fills the body, sustains it, outlives it, sees without being seen, remains pure, and does not sleep, so Hashem fills, sustains, transcends, sees, and governs His universe.This realization should lead not to pride, but to humility, awe, gratitude, and responsibility. Rabbi Wolbe urges us to contemplate the extraordinary design of the human body—from our eyes and ears to our breath, bones, skin, and countless systems—and ask: Who gave me all of this? The more deeply we appreciate how much Hashem has invested in us, the more we understand that our lives carry purpose and obligation. Yirat Shamayim is not despair or fearfulness; it is the awareness that we have been entrusted with something extraordinarily precious.The entire book ultimately comes down to the words of Kohelet: “Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole of man.” After studying humility, arrogance, love, hatred, mercy, cruelty, happiness, jealousy, worry, repentance, Torah, and countless other middot, the final challenge is internal. It is no longer simply about how we appear to others, but about the private relationship between the individual and Hashem: Do I truly fear God? Is my relationship with Hashem where it should be? Inspiration must become action. Torah must change us.The conclusion takes on additional meaning as Rabbi Wolbe notes that the class coincides with his Hebrew birthday. He offers a heartfelt blessing to the TORCH community for health, happiness, gratitude, spiritual growth, and a genuine relationship with Hashem. He encourages each listener to view every new year of life as another opportunity to recommit to service, growth, and appreciation for the gift of another day.And, fittingly, the journey does not truly end. Rabbi Wolbe immediately opens Shaar HaBitachon, the Gate of Trust in God, from Chovot HaLevavot. The message is clear: when Torah learning concludes, we begin again. Bitachon means learning to release our illusion of control and place our reliance entirely in Hashem—like a child resting securely in the arms of a loving parent. The completion of Orchot Tzaddikim therefore becomes the beginning of the next spiritual journey._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on March 23, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on October 2, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

  John Lynch joins Nate and Aaron on the Pirate Monk Podcast to talk about the gospel identity that has shaped his life, ministry, and recovery. The conversation moves from his recent bike trip in Spain to the deeper spiritual work of moving from shame and striving toward being loved by God as you are.They discuss John's journey from performance-driven religion to grace, the effects of shame, and why safe, honest community matters more than polished spirituality. The episode also previews his role at the upcoming Samson Summit. Nate and Aaron connect John's adventurous, “all in” personality to his lifelong passion for gospel identity. John explains why his goal was not simply to teach the Bible verse by verse, but to help people see who they are in Christ. He traces that passion to his conversion at age 27, after years of pain and shame following the end of a relationship and his baseball career. John reflects on how seminary gave him information but not transformation, and how an authentic church community kept drawing him toward Christ. He shares how naming childhood sexual abuse, after keeping it hidden for 35 years, helped him experience grace more honestly. The conversation explores the difference between guilt and shame: guilt says you did something wrong; shame says something is wrong with who you are. John says the voice of shame is not the voice of God—and that God never says, “You're too much for me.” John discusses creating “gospel places” where people can be fully known without being loved less. The episode previews John's upcoming sessions at the Samson Summit and considers how vulnerability can help people walk alongside one another.   Oct 23-25, 2026 U.S. Samson Summit   NEW Samson Community App (Apple store) NEW Samson Community App (Google Store)   Send mail to: Pirate Monk Podcast/Samson House PO BOX 1656 Columbia, TN 38402   If you have thoughts or questions and you'd like the guys to address in upcoming episodes or suggestions for future guests, please drop a note to piratemonkpodcast@gmail.com.     The opening and closing music on this podcast is contributed by members of the Samson Society.

It not intended to treat, diagnose, or cure any health condition. N If you have specific concerns, please consult with your healthcare professional. Coach Bill Hogarty spent most of his life in peak condition, won twelve bodybuilding titles including Mr. California, and assumed he understood health. Then a shoulder injury sidelined him, he gained weight, and he learned what it feels like to be on the other side of the gym floor. That experience gave him something his training never had: empathy. Today he channels it into the Kids Diabetes Foundation, built on a conviction that childhood insulin resistance is preventable and that telling a struggling parent they are failing their kid will never work. In this candid conversation, Bill and Corinna trade notes as two people who have spent decades in health and fitness, and they do not always agree. They dig into why BMI is a poor marker while A1C and body composition tell a truer story, why muscle functions as an endocrine organ that protects us as we age, and why abstinence-based rules tend to backfire while moderation sticks. Corinna pushes back on the language of shame and on the toll that diet culture took on her own generation, and Bill meets her there. Along the way you will pick up practical, low-drama tactics: let your kid pick one thing from the produce aisle and build a meal around it, walk 30 minutes a day with someone you love, and learn one number that most doctors never order.

For five years, Kelly Camp went to church every single Sunday and refused to give his life to Christ. He sat in the back row, timed his arrival to avoid the greeters, and watched soccer on his phone during the sermon. Then one hungover Sunday morning in June 2015, a single sentence from his pastor broke through everything. KEY TAKEAWAYS  ⚡️ Showing up isn't the same as surrendering. Kelly attended church weekly for five years while actively resisting God the entire time. ⚡️Shame keeps people from receiving grace. Kelly avoided greeters and the pastor himself because he didn't feel worthy to be shown kindness. ⚡️Breakthrough often comes from being told the truth, not being told to clean up first. "Jesus doesn't care if you're hungover" was the sentence that finally ended Kelly's resistance.

This week, Abigail Dundore shares a message from Isaiah 44–45 titled "Free to Receive." Speaking into Israel's exile in Babylon, Abigail shows why idolatry is more than loving the wrong thing. It means loving something that cannot love us back.Abigail starts with Isaiah's almost comic picture of the blacksmith and the carpenter. They work hard to shape their idols and end the day hungry, thirsty and cold, still taking care of themselves. She connects this to the idols of our city: career success, financial security and intellectual achievement. Each one demands everything and gives nothing back. In contrast, God pours water on dry ground, plants the willows and carries His people from birth to old age. Abigail tells the story of giving up her plans for law school and discovering the justice work God had already given her. She also opens up about the shame she carried for years after a long season of chronic illness in her childhood, and about hearing the Lord say He never needed her to perform. Finally, she shows how blindness keeps us from seeing what enslaves us, and how God sweeps it away like mist.The sermon rests on a simple distinction: idols are pursued, but gifts are received. The same good thing can be an idol that enslaves us or a gift that delights us, but it can't be both. Shame enters when we overreach, trying to prove ourselves wise and self-reliant. From the beginning, all God wanted was for us to walk with Him as His sons and daughters. His Spirit does not disappoint, and shame cannot stand in the face of His love.Ultimately, this sermon is an invitation to put down the burdens we've learned to call normal and let God carry us. Some of that freedom comes in a moment, and some of it takes years of formation. Either way, God is working toward our joy. As we say yes to His redemption, He widens our capacity to receive His gifts with open hands and to break out in song.

When Masculine Rules Stop Helping Keep the Value. Loosen the Rule. A lot of the rules men inherit about masculinity were not created to hurt us. Be strong. Handle it yourself. Provide. Do not show fear. Never back down. Most of those rules point toward something valuable: courage, competence, responsibility, dignity, loyalty, protection, or belonging. The problem begins when a useful value becomes a rigid rule. Strength can become emotional hiding. Independence can become isolation. Providing can become proof of worth. Dignity can turn into needing to win. So this is not a conversation about rejecting masculinity. It is about asking a better question: Which masculine rules still serve us, and which ones have become too rigid? Why These Rules Stick With Men Masculine rules come from a lot of places. Our fathers. Mothers. Coaches. Friends. Churches. Workplaces. Sports. Media. Relationships. Regional culture. Family expectations. And often, following those rules worked. They may have helped us fit in, avoid ridicule, gain respect, feel competent, or stay connected to the people around us. Sometimes the rule was really about belonging. A boy may learn very early that certain parts of him are acceptable and others are not. Maybe strength gets rewarded while fear gets mocked. Maybe achievement gets noticed while uncertainty gets ignored. Maybe being self-sufficient earns respect while needing help feels embarrassing. Over time, those lessons can become an invisible audience we carry with us. Even when no one is actively judging us, we can still feel like we are being graded on whether we are "man enough." That raises an important question: When does a useful value stop being a choice and start becoming a requirement? And maybe another: What masculine rule made sense for us at 18 that needs to look different at 30, 40, or 50? Not every traditional masculine expectation needs to disappear. Some are worth preserving. The goal is not to throw away the value. The goal is to loosen the rule enough that we can choose how to live it. Rule 1: Be Strong Value underneath: courage, endurance, steadiness, protection. Healthy side: tolerating discomfort, staying present in hard situations, and doing what needs to be done when life is difficult. Rigid side: fear, grief, tenderness, uncertainty, or pain become evidence that a man is weak. There is a major difference between regulating emotion and hiding emotion. Sometimes holding emotion temporarily is exactly what maturity requires. There are moments when we need to remain steady for our children, spouse, coworkers, or people who are depending on us. But temporarily containing an emotion is different from pretending it does not exist. Healthy strength is not the absence of emotion. It is having enough internal capacity to decide what to do with what we are feeling. That may mean talking about it. It may mean waiting until a better moment. It may mean asking for support. It may mean simply acknowledging to ourselves that something hurt. One of the traps men can fall into is allowing anger to become the only emotion that feels masculine enough to express. Fear becomes anger. Hurt becomes anger. Shame becomes anger. Sadness becomes anger. Anger itself is not the problem. The question is whether anger is telling the whole story. What does healthy strength look like with a spouse, friend, child, coworker, or group of men? Have we ever appeared strong on the outside while actually avoiding something internally? And this does not mean men should always be vulnerable or share every feeling. That would simply become another rigid rule. Landing idea: Strength is having enough capacity to choose how to respond, not having no emotion. Rule 2: Handle It Yourself Value underneath: competence, independence, agency, and self-trust. Healthy side: learning skills, carrying responsibility, solving problems, tolerating frustration, and not expecting someone else to rescue us. Rigid side: support feels humiliating, receiving help feels like failure, and problems stay hidden until they become much larger. A lot of men are very comfortable helping someone else. We will show up. Fix the problem. Move furniture. Give advice. Lend money. Help a friend through a crisis. But being on the receiving end can feel completely different. Why are so many of us comfortable helping but uncomfortable being helped? There is an important distinction here. Receiving support does not mean handing someone else responsibility for our life. Support can strengthen agency rather than replace it. The question is not whether independence is good or bad. The question is whether independence is still a choice. Where is the line between healthy independence and isolation? When does asking for help actually increase our agency rather than reduce it? What would we gladly help another man with but struggle to ask for ourselves? There is also a danger in swinging too far the other direction. If "ask for help" becomes another rule, we can accidentally communicate that men should never solve things themselves. That is not the point either. Landing idea: Independence is useful when it remains one option among several. Rule 3: Provide and Achieve Value underneath: responsibility, contribution, discipline, protection, and purpose. Healthy side: working hard, building something, contributing financially, creating security, and serving the people we care about. Ambition, work, achievement, and providing are not the problem. Those things can be meaningful expressions of love. The problem begins when providing becomes the only way we know we matter. Rigid side: income, productivity, status, or usefulness becomes proof of a man's worth. A man can genuinely love his family through provision and still unintentionally become disconnected from the people he is providing for. Can a family deeply appreciate what a man provides and still feel emotionally disconnected from him? How do we know when work is meaningful contribution versus hiding, proving, or escaping? That question becomes especially revealing when something changes. Income drops. Work slows down. Someone else earns more. A promotion does not happen. Our achievement is not recognized. If our identity is built entirely around usefulness, those moments can feel like much more than disappointment. They can feel like a threat to who we are. There are also seasons of life when sacrifice is necessary. Building a business, raising young children, navigating financial pressure, completing school, or pursuing a major goal may require temporary imbalance. But temporary sacrifice and permanent neglect are not the same thing. How much sacrifice is reasonable during a demanding season? What should not be repeatedly sacrificed in the name of success—health, integrity, marriage, meaningful connection, emotional stability, or the very relationships we say we are working for? Landing idea: Providing can be love, but it should not become the only way a man knows he matters. Rule 4: Never Back Down Value underneath: dignity, courage, self-respect, and boundaries. Healthy side: standing up for ourselves, resisting mistreatment, protecting others, holding a boundary, and refusing intimidation. Those are important capacities. There are times when backing down would mean abandoning something that genuinely matters. But there is another version of this rule. Rigid side: disagreement feels like disrespect, apology feels like losing, changing our mind feels weak, and conflict becomes a test of status. Sometimes we begin a disagreement about one issue and keep arguing long after that issue has disappeared. At that point, we may not be protecting the boundary anymore. We may be protecting our image. How do we know whether we are protecting a boundary or protecting our pride? When is refusing to yield courageous, and when is it defensive? Have we ever kept arguing after the original issue was no longer the real issue? Being wrong can feel strangely threatening when we believe our masculinity is being evaluated. If being wrong means being weak, apologizing becomes dangerous. If changing our mind means losing status, curiosity becomes difficult. But dignity does not have to work that way. Landing idea: Dignity does not require somebody else to lose. Keep the Value. Loosen the Rule. There is a common thread running through all of these masculine rules. The value underneath them is often worth keeping. Strength matters. Independence matters. Providing matters. Dignity matters. The question is whether we still have freedom inside those values. Can we be strong and admit something hurts? Can we be capable and still receive help? Can we provide without making productivity the measure of our worth? Can we defend a boundary without needing to defeat the person on the other side? That is where flexibility becomes maturity. The goal is not to become less masculine. It is to become less controlled by rigid definitions of what masculinity is supposed to look like. At AMG, we want to help men develop enough self-awareness to recognize the rules we inherited, enough courage to question the ones that no longer serve us, and enough wisdom to preserve the values underneath them. Keep the value. Loosen the rule.

Shame keeps us stuck. Truth sets us free. Grace makes us whole.Join us as we unpack God's purpose for sex, confront the lies of shame, and discover the healing that comes when truth and grace meet.

Bethany Webster is back on the podcast, and if you've been around for a while, you know how much her work has impacted me personally. Bethany is the author of Discovering the Inner Mother and is known for her work around the Mother Wound and the complicated dynamics between mothers and daughters. Her work has been transformational for me in dealing with my own relationship with my mother, and there's something about the way Bethany talks about this stuff that I always find so healing. In this episode, we talk about: The Mother Wound and complicated dynamics between mothers and daughters Where some of these dynamics come from Jealousy between mothers and daughters The Shame women can feel when they don't have a positive relationship with their mom  How unmet needs from childhood can show up in adult relationships  Why so many women feel like they need to do everything for everyone else  Our worry about saying no or not meeting everyone's needs Burnout, boundaries and asking for help  Letting go of pressure What happens when your definition of success changes  This is such an honest conversation about our relationships with our mothers, the ways those relationships can continue to affect us as adults, and what it looks like to start doing things differently.

#1051 | Ed and Adam use the City verdict to talk about reputation rather than punishment mechanics: City's for organising the fraud, the Premier League's for taking eight years and letting itself be outmuscled by lawyers, and Pep Guardiola's, since virtually everything he won at City was built on financial cheating he spent years publicly denying. There's an awkward political dimension: City are owned by the UAE, a UK security and investment partner, and there's scepticism that the other 19 clubs would vote for expulsion given how many owners have their own business ties to the Gulf. Given that, how might any punishment be constructed and what might be just?  On Pep specifically, they trace a pattern running from his playing days through Barcelona to City. His legacy is now inseparable from the fraud that funded it. Then there's the broadcasters who've pretended non of this was happening. Shame on them.  0:27 Intro: 114 of 115 charges 2:32 Reputations in the toilet 4:52 Why spending limits exist 9:27 Can City rebuild their reputation? 14:17 Nation-state ownership and the UAE 19:36 Would clubs vote to expel City? 27:00 What punishment actually fits 32:57 Charge stacking and precedent 38:28 Getting the owners out 39:24 Pep's legacy 45:30 Sudan, sportswashing and silence 47:50 How the media will cover it 55:04 Fan reaction and the weaponized fanbase 58:04 What happens next 1:00:06 Wrap-up --- Ready to have an AI that can tackle real work?

I watched my two young kids have their first experience with monetizing their art and I walked away with one conclusion. Art deserves to be celebrated, sold and reciprocated (financially). I haven’t always felt this way. I’ve wrestled with the question of what art is worth. Or rather, I’ve felt a strange need to keep my creativity and capitalism separated. But in today’s episode, I’ll share why I think it matters that you not just see your art as valuable in general — but as worth actual dollars. In what ways can you sell your art without shame?

What does it really mean to walk in the freedom Christ has given us—and how should Christians respond when the culture increasingly loses sight of the value of human life? This week on Fearless with Mark & Amber, we're back from our Walking in Freedom event in Jacksonville, Florida, reflecting on an incredible weekend of ministry, fellowship, testimonies, and conversations with men and women carrying very real wounds from their past. One theme kept surfacing: assumptions. What happens when someone walks into a church looking for help but encounters judgment before anyone has taken the time to hear their story? We talk about welcoming the prodigal, confessing our struggles to one another, breaking free from addiction, and refusing to keep “fishing” for sins that God has already forgiven. Mark also shares some of what came out of his men's breakout session on biblical manhood, pornography, addiction, temptation, and why prayer—and sometimes radical changes in our lives—are necessary when we truly want freedom. Then the conversation turns to the value of human life. We revisit the Lindsey Clancy case before discussing a troubling report from the Netherlands involving the euthanasia of a two-year-old child suffering from severe medical conditions. How should Christians think about suffering, compassion, justice, euthanasia, and the sanctity of life? Ultimately, the question is not whether a human life is easy, productive, healthy, or free from suffering. Human beings are made in the image of God. The Lord is the Author of life. We are not. Scripture discussed:
 James 5:16
 Genesis 1
 The Prodigal Son
 Biblical warnings concerning temptation

In Drumcree and in Debrecen, we were forced to consider different Irelands last weekend.The determination of the Orange Order to parade down Garvaghy Road brought back memories for so many of the dark days in the north.But does it really show how much has changed?On Free State today, Dion and Joe discuss what happened at Drumcree and in Hungary where Gavin Bazunu told his team mates he didn't want to play against Israel. Should his team mates have stood with him? What does beating Israel mean for Ireland? Is there any merit in it or are Ireland just participating in the sports washing of war crimes?

Why does a vet who's flat out every single day still hit a pay ceiling? Dr Andy Roark explains the hidden economics of veterinary practice, and an uncomfortable truth: the thing that makes us good vets might be the same thing holding our pay down.Andy is a practising vet, the founder of the Uncharted Veterinary Conference and podcast, host of The Cone of Shame podcast, and one of the best-known voices on the business side of vet medicine. He works with thousands of practice owners and managers, and he's still in the consult room too, trying to figure out how to find solutions for a client with $150 to her name - like you. In this conversation, he picks apart the sum every employed vet has done on the back of a lab result printout: why is there such a big mismatch between what I'm treating and the number on my pay slip?In this episode, he explains:■ The Mediocre Industry Problem: Why it's better to be mediocre in an exceptional industry than exceptional in a mediocre one, and where vet medicine sits on that scale.■ The Inherent Tension: Why veterinary profession is one of the only jobs where we beg customers not to leave, and how our drive to keep care affordable puts the ceiling on what we earn.■ Where Every Dollar Goes: The three buckets that eat 85 to 90 cents of every dollar a practice brings in, and the one number that puts everything in perspective. ■ The Invisible Stress of Ownership: Why practice owners often feel real shame when pay comes up, and how much of the finances they should share with their team.■ Resentment as a Metric: How to tell when resentment is warning you about something, and how to choose what to do about it.■ Corporate vs Independent: What a US survey found about who earns more and who finds more meaning in their work, and why comparing salaries is so often the thief of joy.■ The Retail Model Mistake: The one thing Andy would change if he could rebuild the profession from scratch.Mentioned in this episodeThe 10th Anniversary Uncharted Veterinary Conference Cone of Shame PodcastThe Uncharted Veterinary PodcastBlunt Dissection with Dr Dave NicolQuestions With Crocker with Dr Tanasia CrockerFictional podcast StoryCorpsCome skiing with us (while you learn)Vets On Tour is heading to the Dolomites.

Stephen McWhirter is here today and we're talking about what it looks like to worship even when shame is telling you that you don't belong in the room. Stephen has a story of radical restoration. He went from hating Jesus, battling addiction, and feeling completely beyond saving to becoming a worship leader, songwriter, and someone who now gets to tell people all over the world that Jesus is real. He's also the author of Radically Restored and the songwriter behind a song you probably hear often: “Come Jesus Come.” I think Stephen's story is going to remind you that worship isn't something we earn the right to do. It's a response to the grace we've already been given.  Find the show notes here . . . . Order your copy of Don't Let That Hold You Back wherever you love to buy books! . . . .

Shame is one of the hardest emotions to work with, in part because it blocks what we need most when we're feeling shame: self-compassion. Dr. Chris Germer, co-developer of the Mindful Self-Compassion program, joins Forrest to discuss how we can get around that trap. They talk about where shame comes from, how to recognize it when it's hiding behind other emotions, and practical tools that help us experience less shame.  About our Guest: Chris Germer is a clinical psychologist, lecturer at Harvard Medical School, co-developer of the Mindful Self-Compassion program with Dr. Kristin Neff, and author of the new book Self-Compassion for Shame. Key Topics: 0:00: Intro: shame, hiding, and why it blocks self-compassion 2:52: What shame is and why it hides 9:45: How self-compassion changes the inner voice 13:44: The arc of working with shame 18:05: Shame as an innocent emotion 22:57: Backdraft and the wish to be loved 29:50: Self-compassion as exposure 39:43: When people really do judge you 45:33: The "shrug" 47:56: Healthy shame, toxic shame, and the parts of you 58:48: Recap Support the Podcast: We're on Patreon!

Click here for the DRB Daily Sign Up form! TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: Zechariah 1–3; Luke 11 Click HERE to give! One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible. Today is September 28th, and our readings are Zechariah 1–3 and Luke 11. Zechariah brings us into a series of strange and beautiful visions given to a people who have returned from exile. Jerusalem has been devastated. The temple is being rebuilt. God's people are trying to imagine what restoration might look like. And into that uncertainty comes a word of hope. God has not abandoned them. God is returning. God is restoring. God is removing shame. God is bringing his people into something new. Then in Luke 11, Jesus teaches his disciples to pray. He tells them to ask, seek, and knock. He confronts religious systems that have become preoccupied with appearances while neglecting justice and the love of God. And then Jesus says something that deserves our attention: "Make sure that the light you think you have is not actually darkness." That's a sobering invitation. Because not everything we call light is light. Religion can call something light that produces fear. Tradition can call something light that keeps people in bondage. Self-righteousness can feel like light while preventing us from seeing ourselves or our neighbor clearly. Jesus invites us to turn our eyes toward the true light. The light of God's love. And when that light fills us, Jesus says our whole lives can become radiant. So today, let's step out of the shadows. Bring on the floodlights. TODAY'S DEVOTION Bring on the Floodlights If all the world's a stage, then I want better lighting. I remember hearing an actor say something like that once. And I understand it. When you're on a stage, you learn pretty quickly to find your light. You can have the best lines. You can give the best performance. But if you're standing in the shadows, nobody can see what's happening. So you find the light. And maybe that's a good image for the spiritual life too. Find the light. Or perhaps more importantly, make sure the light you've found is actually light. Because Jesus says something rather startling in Luke 11: "Make sure that the light you think you have is not actually darkness." That's worth sitting with. Because apparently it's possible to become accustomed to darkness and call it light. It's possible for religious traditions to become so familiar that we stop asking whether they actually look like Jesus. It's possible to confuse certainty with light. It's possible to confuse being right with light. It's possible to confuse fear with light. It's possible to imagine that a theology that leaves us frightened of God is somehow illuminating God. And Jesus says: Check the light. Look again. Because Jesus himself is the light by which everything else is seen. He is the one who shows us what God is like. And when we look at Jesus, what do we see? We see him moving toward people. We see him touching those others avoid. We see him eating with those religion has excluded. We see him forgiving. Healing. Restoring. Setting people free. We see him telling us to love our enemies. We see him laying down his life rather than taking the lives of his enemies. We see self-giving love. This is the light. And Jesus is confronting religious leaders in Luke 11 who have become very good at managing appearances. Everything looks clean on the outside. But Jesus says the inside tells another story. They carefully tithe even the herbs from their gardens, but they ignore justice and the love of God. That's darkness masquerading as light. And I don't think Jesus confronts them because he hates them. I think he confronts them because he loves them. He wants them to see. He wants them to wake up. He wants the light to break through. Zechariah gives us another beautiful picture today. Joshua the high priest stands before God in filthy clothes. And the Accuser is there. Ready to accuse. Ready to condemn. Ready to define Joshua by what he is wearing. But God rebukes the Accuser. And then God says: "Take off his filthy clothes." And Joshua is given new clothes. A new identity. A new beginning. That's light. The Accuser says, "Look at him." God says, "I have taken away your sins." The Accuser points toward shame. God moves toward restoration. And Jesus shows us that this is the heart of God. Maybe there are some dark corners in us today. Fear. Shame. Resentment. Religious ideas that have taught us to hide from God instead of running toward him. Maybe we've mistaken some of those things for light. Jesus invites us to open the curtains. Bring on the floodlights. Let the light of Christ shine into every corner. Let him show us what God is really like. Let him expose the false lights that have kept us afraid. And let his love illuminate our lives. Jesus says that when we're filled with light, our whole life becomes radiant, as though a floodlight were filling us with light. I love that. God isn't inviting us to spend our lives hiding in the shadows. He's drawing us into the light. Into freedom. Into grace. Into love. And as our eyes become filled with the light of Christ, maybe we begin to reflect that light into the world around us. So turn your face toward Jesus today. Look at him. Keep looking. Let him show you the Father. Let his love expose every false light. Let his grace illuminate every shadow. His light has come into our darkness. And the darkness cannot overcome it. Bring on the floodlights. That's the prayer I have for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And that's the prayer I have for you. May our eyes be filled with the light of Christ. And may our whole lives become radiant with the love of God. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

Five years. Hundreds of powerful conversations. And now, I'm bringing back the five episodes you have listened to and loved the most. This week's rerelease is officially one of the Top 5 Episodes of All Time on The High Vibe Life Podcast, and it is one of the most vulnerable conversations I have ever shared. You may know Danae Hays for making millions of people laugh online. But this conversation reveals a side of her story you may not know. Danae shares what it was like to recognize at a very young age that she was attracted to girls, the shame and anxiety she began carrying because of it, and how that anxiety eventually developed into severe OCD. After finally revealing what she believed was her "deep dark secret" to a counselor, Danae was sent to conversion therapy at only ten years old. For years afterward, she stopped talking openly about her sexuality. But this story is ultimately about what happened when Danae began choosing herself. In this conversation, we talk about: • Experiencing shame around your identity at a young age • Danae's childhood experience with anxiety and OCD • The lasting impact of being sent to conversion therapy • What happens when you spend years hiding part of yourself • Learning to respect and accept who you truly are • The role therapy played in Danae's healing • Finding love and the courage to live authentically • Choosing yourself even when people you love do not understand or support that choice • What parents can learn from Danae's experience • Why acceptance and unconditional love matter so deeply This conversation was originally released in 2022, but its message is still incredibly important. Because no one should have to spend their life believing that who they are is something they need to hide. Whether you heard this conversation when it first aired or you are discovering Danae's story for the first time, I hope you listen with an open heart. This is Episode 259 and another installment in our Top 5 Episodes of All Time Anniversary Series. Listen for the first time or come back to this conversation with the perspective you have today.

What if you didn't have to wait until everything was okay before letting someone see what you're going through?   I'm talking about something I see so often among ambitious, capable women: we're comfortable sharing the struggle once we've overcome it, but being honest while we're still in it can feel incredibly uncomfortable.   In this episode, I'm sharing why asking for help isn't a weakness, how shame can turn a circumstance into an identity, and why the right person can help you see what you simply can't see when you're in the middle of it.   You'll also learn the difference between self-leadership and self-sufficiency, and why strong women need a safe community, too.   If you're navigating a difficult season in motherhood, business, relationships, or life, I hope this reminds you that you don't have to figure everything out alone. Sometimes the next brave step is simply letting yourself be seen.  

Join me this week as we continue the discussion about shame. In this episode, I'll talk about why shame doesn't get better by staying hidden — it gets worse. I'm covering Chapter 6 of Curt Thompson's The Soul of Shame, where he says the fix for shame is vulnerability. I'll explain what that actually means, and why hiding a hard feeling doesn't make it go away. We will also talk about why being really good at things can secretly be a way of hiding, why your body reacts to being truly seen almost like it's in danger, and why letting yourself be known is both scary and one of the best things you can do for yourself. There is something for everyone in this little ditty. Thanks for joining me.

If you ask your partner "do you want to have sex?" and they say no almost every time, the problem might not be desire. Seriously. It's the question. Responsive desire doesn't show up to that question. It shows up in response to something tangible happening that enables desire. So if nothing has happened yet, there's nothing there to say yes to. That's not rejection. That's an honest answer to a question that can't be answered yet.Responsive desire is also the most common form of desire in long-term relationships, and in most adults over 40, regardless of gender, in my practical experience. Almost nobody depicts it that way, so a lot of people think something's wrong with them for having it.Today I'm going to help you understand responsive desire and how to navigate it, including how to make more effective invitations. In this episode:What responsive desire actually is, and why it works like breadcrumbs rather than a switchWhy asking for sex point blank almost always gets a no from a responsive desire person, and why that's not the problem it looks likeWhy no has to be genuinely safe before yes becomes possible, and why nobody is ever entitled to their partner's bodyWhat to actually ask for instead of asking for sex, and how to build a "menu" of what generally feels goodThe exact conversation to have before you're in bed, not duringHow to avoid the pitfall of turning a good night into next time's obligationWhy this matters even more if you're neurodivergent, and what pathological demand avoidance (PDA) has to do with itIf you give yourself real time and space, with no predetermined destination, desire tends to show up. You just can't demand it in advance.Topics: responsive desire, initiating sex, sexual rejection, desire discrepancy, consent, neurodivergence and intimacyLinks to other episodes mentioned: Saying No Vs.

What if everything you were told about midlife intimacy was wrong? Most of us were taught that once we hit our 40s and 50s, our sex life quietly fades and that's just the way it goes. Clinical sexologist Dr. Stacy Friedman says the real culprit isn't age at all. It's shame, and it has been running the show in far too many bedrooms for far too long. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Stacy, my very first expert guest on Comfort to Courage, to unpack where that shame comes from and how to break free of it. She explains why shame triggers a physical threat response that shuts arousal down, the difference between spontaneous and responsive desire, and why painful sex and erectile changes are among the most fixable issues she sees. You'll hear the story of a woman whose husband asked "where have you been these 30 years?" after she took one small, brave step, plus the simple opening line that gets the intimacy conversation started without pressure or blame. If you're in midlife, in a long-term relationship, or quietly wondering whether the spark is gone for good, this conversation is for you. Dr. Stacy brings clinical expertise, humor, and heart to a topic most people are too embarrassed to raise with their own doctor. You'll walk away with practical strategies to rebuild connection, reignite desire, and have better intimacy now than you did at 25. 5 Powerful Takeaways Shame is a physical threat response. Your cortisol rises and arousal shuts down because your body can't tell the difference between real danger and fear of being judged by the person you love. Low drive doesn't mean no desire. Understanding responsive desire lets you give arousal space to build instead of waiting to feel the way you did at 20. Break out of the "lips, nips, below the hips" routine. Exploring the whole body, touch, and a daily juicy kiss brings back the connection that intercourse alone never will. Open the conversation with connection, not complaints. "I miss feeling close to you" builds intimacy, while "why don't we have sex anymore?" shuts your partner down immediately. Painful sex and erectile changes are not a life sentence. They can point to hormone, heart, or thyroid issues, and they are some of the most fixable concerns when you stop staying silent and get support. 00:00 Courage Is Contagious Intro 01:30 Imposter Syndrome Reset 04:04 Meet Dr Stacey Friedman 07:21 Origins Of Purple Passion 10:04 Midlife Sex Myths 11:57 How Shame Shuts Desire 15:34 Hormones Pain And ED 18:13 Bedroom Strategies That Work 20:17 What Changes On The Other Side 23:33 How To Start The Talk 27:09 Courage Challenge 28:19 Badass Rapid Fire 34:48 Where To Find Dr Stacey 37:13 Final Takeaway And Outro About the Guest Dr. Stacy Friedman is a clinical sexologist, private intimacy advisor, and sex and intimacy coach with more than 26 years in the medical field and over 20 years focused specifically on sexuality. She helps men and women navigate the intimacy challenges that show up in midlife, including hormonal shifts, erectile changes, mismatched sex drives, painful sex, alternative lifestyles, and the unique needs of the LGBTQ+ community. Nicknamed "Dr. Ruth" by her friends in high school, she has built a career on saying what most people are too embarrassed to say out loud. Dr. Stacy is the host of The Purple Passion Project podcast and the author of Confessions and Lessons of a Sexpert. She works with clients around the world online and sees clients in person in Boca Raton, blending medical knowledge with humor and heart to prove that midlife can be the most confident, connected chapter yet.

Why Doing the Opposite Isn't EnoughMaybe you entered motherhood with a list of promises:I'll never control food the way it was controlled for me.I'll never comment on my child's body.I'll never make hunger feel shameful.I'll do everything differently.Those promises can be deeply meaningful. Sometimes “not that” is exactly where cycle-breaking begins.But eventually, motherhood asks us something harder:If every choice is based on doing the opposite of what happened to us, is the past still making the decision?In this episode of Lift the Shame, we're exploring what happens when cycle-breaking becomes another form of reaction—and how recovery can help us move from simply avoiding old patterns toward choosing flexible, values-consistent responses in the present.We'll talk about why opposite parenting can be an important first step, how old protective strategies sometimes show up in new forms, why freedom and structure aren't necessarily opposites, and how differentiation can help us ask not only “What don't I want to repeat?” but “What am I actually trying to build?”Because healing isn't about pretending the past doesn't matter.It's about letting the past become information rather than instruction.

In week five of our 1 Corinthians series, Pastor Jim Essian teaches from 1 Corinthians 4:14-21 on toxic shame and spiritual fathers.Guilt says I was wrong. Shame goes a level deeper and says you are wrong — it assaults your identity. But there's a good shame too, the kind that says that's not you, and a toxic shame that insists that is exactly who you are.Shame makes you compare yourself to everyone around you. It makes you hide, the way Adam hid in the garden. And strangely, it makes you boast — because arrogance is just a fig leaf over how a person really feels about themselves.Paul's answer isn't more information. You have ten thousand guides, he tells them, and almost no fathers. What you need is someone who will walk with you, know your story and your shame, and show you the way.Scripture: 1 Corinthians 4:14-21Preached by Jim Essian in Fort Worth, TX—We saturate Fort Worth and beyond with the glory and grace of Jesus — by praying heaven down, preaching the gospel, planting churches, and pushing back darkness.

At times, in our sin and suffering, we might be hesitant to approach God. Perhaps we are filled with shame when it comes to our sin. When we are suffering, we might wonder why God would even allow this to happen. What are we to do? We will explore how Jesus, as our high priest, is able to deal with them both in a gentle way!1) A sympathetic high priest2) An appointed high priest3) A suffering high priestText: Hebrews 4:14-5:10

At the age of 25, the comedian Taylor Tomlinson was sure she had life and love figured out. She'd left behind a religious faith that felt too restrictive. She was engaged to a man she loved. She was also writing her first Netflix special. Tomlinson felt like her career and personal life were on track and that nothing could stop her. Then, suddenly, she surprised even herself by calling off the engagement.Now 32, Tomlinson wishes she'd handled the breakup differently, but she doesn't regret ending the relationship. That decision, she says, ultimately led her to seek help for her mental health. Eventually, she came out as bisexual, and started exploring an attraction to women that she thought she would never get to act on.This week on the “Modern Love” podcast, Tomlinson talks about how she stepped away from who she thought she should be — and who she was supposed to be with — and learned to be patient with the process of coming to know her own mind and heart. Even if it meant a long-term partnership had to wait.Taylor Tomlinson's memoir, “Actually, Nevermind,” is out now.Here's how to submit a Modern Love essay, and how to submit a Tiny Love Story.
