We're sharing an episode from ChinaTalk that dives into one of the biggest recent reversals in U.S. tech policy.The U.S. banned Nvidia's H20 AI chips to China in April. Now, just months later, they're being sold—with a 15% export fee. What happened? Why the reversal? And what does it mean for the future of AI competition between the U.S. and China?Chris Miller—author of Chip War—and Lennart Heim from RAND join ChinaTalk host Jordan Schneider to unpack the policy flip-flop, why China is publicly downplaying interest in the H20, and why high-bandwidth memory and semiconductor manufacturing tools may be even more important than the Nvidia chips themselves.Resources:Listen to more from ChinaTalk: https://link.chtbl.com/chinatalkCheck out the Horizon Fellowship to work in DC on emerging tech policy issues like AI chip export controls: https://horizonpublicservice.org/applications-open-for-2026-horizon-fellowship-cohort/Outro Music: It's a Shame, The Spinners, 1970

How do you establish a belief in your true identity amid other people's expectations? Host Tina Yeager sits down with Christie Award-winning novelist and former therapist Amanda Cox for a heartfelt conversation on navigating the complex space between others' expectations and our true identities. Together, they explore how the search for belonging, the weight of family dynamics, and the pressure to seek approval can both hinder and reshape our sense of self. Amanda shares her personal journey, professional insights, and the powerful ways her novels—like The Bitter End Birding Society and He Should Have Told the Bees—reflect the challenges and triumphs of embracing who we are truly meant to be. If you've ever struggled to filter out the noise of other voices so you can step boldly into your God-given identity, this episode is just for you. Tune in and discover practical wisdom, encouragement, and hope for your own path toward authenticity and healing. Highlights from the Conversation: Why so many women struggle with identity: Amanda shares how our sense of self is shaped by family, friends, and society—and how we can untangle those outside influences from the truth of who God made us to be. Approval vs. Belonging: Learn the difference between healthy belonging and people-pleasing, and the freedom that comes from living for divine approval rather than human applause. Recognizing your strengths: Are you quiet, observant, or sensitive? Amanda reminds us that what's seen as a “weakness” by others may actually be your God-given superpower. Family dynamics and healing: Ever found yourself slipping back into old patterns the moment you go home? The episode explores how deep-rooted family roles shape us, and practical ways to heal and grow—even when our loved ones don't “get” the new us. Overcoming shame and bitterness: The team discusses the pitfalls of living in the “shoulds” and how forgiving others releases us to become the person God intends us to be. The healing power of fiction: Amanda's novels, including The Bitter End Birding Society and He Should Have Told the Bees, invite readers to process universal emotions like isolation, shame, and hope—showing that fiction can be a gentle guide through real-life challenges.

Fr. Mike reviews one of the most powerful verses in Proverbs, dealing with personal discernment and wanting to follow our own will instead of God's. He also goes into a deeper explanation of the prophet, Jeremiah, and how we ourselves can reflect the actions of Israel in the Old Testament. Today's readings are Jeremiah 2, Ezekiel 28, and Proverbs 14:9-12. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

There's an architecture to dysfunction. It starts with broken beliefs about who you are, and it becomes lifestyle chaos. This week, Ed Latimore joins me to dismantle that architecture from the inside out. A former heavyweight boxer turned Stoic philosopher, physicist, and master of emotional discipline, Ed knows what happens when discipline outruns self-awareness and toughness becomes armor, not healing. We go deep on how distorted thinking drives destructive behavior; how emotional regulation isn't about feeling control—it's predictive science; and why optimism without realism becomes denial. This episode is a surgical blueprint for rethinking how you think, feel, and engage with life's stress. If you're tired of overthinking, overdoing, and still not seeing change, listen closely. Because transformation begins the moment you question what you're telling yourself about your own strength, your pain, and your beliefs.

Ask A Question: saythatpodcast@gmail.com Intro and a rare Inverted Emergency (00:00-18:36) People say that you should put your hope in God, not it other people, the government, etc. But I do want to be able to rely on other people. What is the difference? (18:49-34:29) How do I lovingly deal with someone who is always casting themselves as the victim in every situation? (34:33-49:37) What is the deal with the book of Proverbs? It always seemed weird to me that there is the little collection of sayings in the middle of the Bible. I feel like I don't get much out of reading them.

In this episode of Just the Guys, Dan interviews Michael Cusick—licensed counselor, ordained minister, and founder of Restoring the Soul—to discuss the deeper spiritual and emotional roots of sexual addiction, particularly pornography, as explored in his book Surfing for God.Michael vulnerably shares his own journey from trauma, addiction, and shame to healing and restoration. He explains that many Christian approaches to pornography are often split between moralism (“just stop it”) and clinical models (treating it as a disease). His book offers a different lens: one that views compulsive sexual behavior as rooted in legitimate God-given desires that have been disordered by trauma, unmet attachment needs, and relational wounds.Key insights include:• “Listen to your lust” – Our compulsions are tells, pointing to deeper longings for connection, affirmation, and healing.• Addiction is not just a behavior, but often a false god, offering counterfeit comfort for past wounds.• Shame is physiological and often misunderstood in Christian circles. True healing comes not from hiding, but from secure, grace-filled relationships with God and others.• Michael emphasizes the four S's of attachment (Seen, Soothed, Safe, Secure) as crucial for emotional and spiritual healing.• He reframes God's posture in Genesis 3, inviting listeners to imagine a version of God that says, “Come closer” rather than condemning God as a loving Father, not a punisher.• The path forward isn't perfect behavior, but direction and healing. Relapse may be part of the journey, but growth happens when men risk being known and pursue secure attachments.Listeners are encouraged to shift from behavior management to healing through connection—first with others, then with God.⸻Resources Mentioned:• Surfing for God by Michael Cusick (Book, Audio, Kindle)• Sacred Attachment (new book by Cusick)• Restoring the Soul ministry: restoringthesoul.com• Restoring the Soul Men's Weekend: restoringthesoulweekend.com• Podcasts: Restoring the Soul and The Place We Find Ourselves (Adam Young)• Influences: Dallas Willard, G.K.

Send us a textSome days are harder than others, and that soul-deep exhaustion you're feeling might be more than just physical tiredness. It might be your body's way of sending you an important message.When I was going through my toughest times—experiencing unexplainable aches, inflammation, and brain fog—doctors kept running tests and prescribing medications. But no one asked about my life circumstances or emotional well-being. They were giving me pills when what I needed was a pause to get curious about what was really happening beneath my symptoms.This episode explores the profound difference between judgment and curiosity in our healing journey. When we judge ourselves harshly for not "being over it" or for "doing that thing again," we activate our sympathetic nervous system (fight-or-flight), creating an internal environment where healing becomes physiologically impossible. Your body simply cannot heal when it feels unsafe, and self-judgment is one of the quickest ways to create that feeling of danger.Curiosity, however, activates our parasympathetic nervous system—creating the safety our bodies need to heal. We explore practical questions you can use to cultivate curiosity about your mind ("What else could be true?"), your body ("What sensation am I experiencing right now?"), and your spirit (remembering that even God welcomes your difficult questions). These gentle inquiries open pathways to connection with yourself and others that judgment simply cannot access.Remember, your healing journey isn't linear, but you don't have to walk it alone.

Send us a textIn this final episode of our Shame to Shalom series, we share a freeing truth—you are not a project to fix, but a masterpiece in progress, fully loved right where you are.

Through breath prayers, visualizations, and personal stories, we invite you to replace shame's critical voice with the joy-filled song God sings over you, as promised in Zephaniah 3:17.We also unpack the richness of “shalom”—wholeness where nothing is missing and nothing is broken—and how it offers rest when shame tries to push us into striving.

The parts of yourself you're hiding are the exact keys to unlocking your next level of freedom, impact, and peace.   Corinne Morahan opens up about the places we keep ourselves small, not on stages or in meetings, but in the quiet ways we hide who we really are. She shares her personal experience confronting the discomfort of being truly seen, from the frustration of having her time controlled to the anger that surfaces when her creative flow is interrupted. Through a vulnerable “seen session” with her mentor, Corinne reveals how unspoken emotions signal deeper misalignment and how acknowledging them can lead to powerful self-awareness.   This episode dives into the journey of redefining safety, not as an external condition but as an inner state we create for ourselves. Corinne reflects on how years of curating a peaceful, organized environment were just the beginning, and how the real work is learning to be the safety she once sought outside of herself. She invites listeners to examine the secrets and fears that are quietly shaping their lives, offering a bold reminder that the freedom we crave is waiting behind the parts of ourselves we're most afraid to show.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Podcast Hiatus Announcement and Core Message 00:54 The Hard Truth About Being Truly Seen 02:19 The “Seen Session” That Changed My Perspective 03:25 Personal Triggers: Time, Control, and Flow 07:58 The Journey from External Safety to Internal Trust 10:48 How Hiding Keeps You Trapped in Shame and Fear 13:10 Masterclass Invitation to Build a Life That Feels Safe and Free   If you're ready to make bold moves (and be SEEN!), join me in the Glam Life Experience on August 19-21!

Stressed About Money? The Hidden Trap for High Achievers & a Path to Peace with Joyce Marter "I make good money… so why am I still stressed?" If this thought keeps you up, you're not alone. Maybe you have a good career & nice home but you still worry about retirement, rising college costs, or just wanting to feel secure. Everyone assumes you've got it all figured out. Secretly, you're unsettled & wonder if it's enough.   Licensed psychotherapist Joyce Marter understands. While building her successful practice, she was outwardly thriving, but privately suffering with anxiety. What she discovered: money stress often isn't about the numbers, it's rooted in inherited beliefs & old emotional patterns.   Your Money Story Wasn't Your Choice The thoughts of “I should be further ahead” or “why is success so hard?” often come from generational experiences. If your family went through financial hardship, your nervous system might be wired for anxiety. As a child, you may have learned: money means danger.   Common inherited money beliefs include:   Working nonstop because “rest equals laziness” Thinking you must “suffer now to enjoy later” Feeling guilty for wanting more when you “should be grateful” Fearing investment because “money doesn't grow on trees”   Financial anxiety isn't a character flaw—it's a learned survival response.   Financial Freedom Isn't About More Money The truth: Your net worth is not your self-worth.   “Our money situation is how we are. It's not who we are,” Joyce says. “Who we are is innate.” Your value doesn't depend on your bank account, debt, or choices. True financial self-care means healing emotional roots of stress & scarcity. Building Financial and Emotional Resilience Recovery is about navigating uncertainty without losing yourself.  It's time to break old patterns & find peace.   Episode Highlights Your relationship with money: [0:37] - Why your financial situation doesn't define your identity or self-worth [4:11] - How inherited money beliefs create anxiety in successful adults Shame and mental health: [6:06] - The hidden mental health crisis among high-earners: when financial stress becomes dangerous [10:25] - "I should be further ahead by now": Breaking the shame cycle around money Growth & Peace: [14:54] - Why growth requires letting go (even when it feels scary) [21:22] - Three mindfulness practices to reduce financial anxiety starting today [29:28] - The future of work: Why your unique gifts matter more than ever   Powerful Quotes "Our money situation is how we are.

Learn why spiritual dryness isn't failure but invitation, how to support others through their darkest seasons without trying to fix them, and why some of our most profound encounters with God happen when He feels most absent. Aubrey offers honest hope for anyone walking through grief, spiritual darkness, or seasons when faith feels impossible - showing how the midnight hours can become places of sacred encounter rather than spiritual failure.

Summary Dr. Amy Vertrees, a surgeon, author, podcast host, and certified coach, delivered the first session of a launch week series aimed at new attending physicians. The presentation focused on common mistakes new attendings make and strategies to avoid them. Dr.Vertrees emphasized that the information shared was based on her own experiences and lessons learned throughout her career. Dr.Vertrees began by outlining the week-long series of presentations, which would cover topics including office manager insights, money management for physicians, handling complications, legal risks, time management, and efficient note-taking. She emphasized that these sessions were designed to be interactive, encouraging participants to ask questions through chat or Q&A features. A central theme of Dr.Vertrees' presentation was the importance of mastery and recognition for job satisfaction. She explained that mastery means being good at one's job, while recognition involves being acknowledged for one's skills and contributions. Dr.Vertrees noted that this formula applies not only to physicians but to everyone in the workplace, highlighting the importance of recognizing others' contributions and allowing them to develop mastery in their roles. Dr.Vertrees discussed the significance of understanding organizational culture, including the mission, beliefs, and values of one's workplace. She advised new attendings to consider whether their personal values align with their organization's culture, as misalignment can lead to dissatisfaction. She also emphasized that new physicians bring valuable perspectives and should feel confident in suggesting changes, though she recommended approaching such suggestions carefully by first asking questions to understand existing practices. The presentation covered strategies for dealing with difficult colleagues, emphasizing that communication breakdowns can make any colleague difficult. Dr.Vertrees offered practical advice for improving interactions, including focusing on what people actually say rather than interpretations, examining what meaning one assigns to others' words, and understanding one's own stress responses (fight, flight, freeze, or fawn). She suggested that recognizing these patterns in oneself can help in understanding others' behaviors as well. Dr.Vertrees addressed the topic of being reported or receiving negative feedback, advising attendees to view such situations as opportunities for growth rather than threats. She emphasized the importance of participating in leadership positions and committees to have influence in one's organization, noting that "you're either at the table or you're on the menu." The presentation also covered personal development topics such as overcoming imposter syndrome, which Dr.Vertrees defined as feeling inadequate despite demonstrated success. She offered strategies for challenging negative thoughts by turning statements into questions and comparing oneself to past versions rather than to others. Dr.Vertrees distinguished between confidence (which comes from repeated experience) and self-confidence (the courage to act despite fear). Dr.Vertrees discussed the importance of marketing oneself effectively, emphasizing that marketing involves knowing one's values and being authentic. She encouraged attendees to embrace their unique qualities rather than conforming to stereotypical surgeon personas. She also addressed the topic of getting paid appropriately, emphasizing the importance of timely documentation, proper coding, and understanding the revenue cycle. The presentation concluded with advice on tracking various aspects of one's practice, including finances, cases, clinic metrics, and complications. Dr.Vertrees stressed the importance of adapting to life changes and having contingency plans, including knowing one's contract details and having an exit strategy. She offered strategies for dealing with negative emotions, particularly shame, and emphasized the importance of seeking help when needed. Throughout the presentation, Dr.Vertrees maintained that physicians should give themselves permission to quit if necessary, while also finding purpose in their work. She concluded by emphasizing treatments that address root problems, including therapy, coaching, journaling, community support, and sometimes medications. Chapter Introduction to Launch Week for New Attendings ‎ 00:00:02 Dr. AmyVertrees welcomed participants to the first day of launch week, designed specifically for new attending physicians. She explained that the purpose of these sessions was to share information she wished she had known when starting as a new attending. Dr.Vertrees encouraged interaction through chat or Q&A features and introduced herself as a surgeon, author, podcast host, and certified coach. She outlined the week's topics, including office manager insights, money management, handling complications, legal risks, time management, and efficient note-taking. Mastery and Recognition: The Key to Job Satisfaction ‎ 00:03:20 Dr.Vertrees identified mastery and recognition as the fundamental elements of job satisfaction. She defined mastery as being good at one's job and recognition as being acknowledged for one's skills and contributions. She emphasized that this formula applies to everyone in the workplace and highlighted the importance of recognizing others' contributions. Dr.Vertrees cautioned against the mistake of doing everything oneself, as this robs others of the opportunity to develop mastery and receive recognition. Understanding Organizational Culture ‎ 00:05:28 Dr.Vertrees discussed the importance of understanding the culture of one's organization, including its mission, beliefs, and values. She advised attendees to consider whether their personal values align with their organization's culture, noting that misalignment becomes evident over time. Dr.Vertrees emphasized that new physicians bring valuable perspectives and should feel confident in suggesting changes, though she recommended approaching such suggestions carefully by first asking questions to understand existing practices. Navigating Difficult Colleagues and Communication ‎ 00:07:46 Dr.Vertrees addressed the challenge of difficult colleagues, noting that communication breakdowns can make any colleague difficult. She offered practical advice for improving interactions, including focusing on what people actually say rather than interpretations, examining what meaning one assigns to others' words, and understanding one's own stress responses (fight, flight, freeze, or fawn). She suggested that recognizing these patterns in oneself can help in understanding others' behaviors as well. Handling Reports and Feedback ‎ 00:11:52 Dr.Vertrees discussed how to handle situations where one is reported or receives negative feedback. She advised viewing such situations as opportunities for feedback rather than threats, noting that a report simply generates paperwork that someone needs to address. She emphasized the importance of maintaining a good headspace to respond appropriately, whether the feedback indicates an area for personal improvement or a situation to be cautious about. Participating in Organizational Leadership ‎ 00:13:31 Dr.Vertrees emphasized the importance of participating in leadership positions and committees to have influence in one's organization, stating "you're either at the table or you're on the menu." She encouraged attendees to get involved at hospital, state, or national levels, while being selective about which positions to take on. Dr.Vertrees advised being clear about one's motivations for taking on leadership roles and understanding that such roles are often what one makes of them. Creating Personal Safety and Understanding Values ‎ 00:15:18 Dr.Vertrees discussed the importance of understanding one's personal culture and values, especially when working in a difficult organizational culture. She emphasized that clarity about one's values helps in making decisions and recommended values exercises to gain self-awareness. Dr.Vertrees addressed the concept of scarcity, noting that feelings of not having enough can trigger unhelpful "hustle" behaviors and that new physicians may trigger scarcity feelings in established colleagues. Establishing Boundaries ‎ 00:18:32 Dr.Vertrees outlined five steps for establishing effective boundaries: defining the boundary, communicating it to relevant parties, outlining consequences for boundary violations, enforcing those consequences, and allowing oneself to make exceptions when appropriate. She used the example of after-hours patient calls to illustrate these steps, emphasizing that a boundary isn't truly established unless all five steps are followed. Addressing Imposter Syndrome ‎ 00:21:09 Dr.Vertrees defined imposter syndrome as feeling inadequate despite demonstrated success, a phenomenon first identified in high-achieving women in academia in 1978. She explained that people with imposter syndrome have negative thoughts despite outward success, making it difficult for others to understand or help. Dr.Vertrees suggested turning negative statements into questions to challenge these thoughts, such as changing "I'm not doing this right" to "Am I okay?" Challenging Common Negative Thoughts ‎ 00:24:50 Dr.Vertrees identified common negative thoughts that high-achieving people experience, including fears of being perceived as lazy, doubts about one's abilities, and comparisons to others. She emphasized that these thoughts can be challenged and reframed, noting that the job itself is genuinely difficult and that comparing oneself to others can be useful if done constructively rather than destructively. Understanding Confidence and Self-Confidence ‎ 00:32:18 Dr.Vertrees distinguished between confidence, which comes from repeated experience, and self-confidence, which is the courage to act despite fear. She explained that confidence develops through muscle memory and repetition, while self-confidence involves trusting oneself to handle negative emotions and potential failures. Dr.Vertrees emphasized that these feelings are generated by one's own thoughts and actions. Marketing Yourself Effectively ‎ 00:34:09 Dr.Vertrees discussed the importance of marketing oneself effectively, framing it as shifting from an employee mindset to a CEO mindset. She defined business as an exchange of value for money and emphasized the importance of understanding one's own value. Dr.Vertrees encouraged attendees to be authentic rather than conforming to stereotypical surgeon personas, noting that authenticity often receives positive feedback. She emphasized that marketing happens in every interaction, not just through formal channels. Getting Paid Appropriately ‎ 00:39:16 Dr.Vertrees addressed the topic of getting paid appropriately, emphasizing that it's acceptable to expect payment for providing value. She described notes as invoices for one's work, highlighting their importance for patient care, mental health, pre-authorization, and communication with primary care. Dr. Vertries explained the revenue cycle (work → invoice → coding → billing → collections) and stressed the importance of understanding this process to ensure business sustainability and avoid fraud. Tracking Practice Metrics ‎ 00:44:01 Dr.Vertrees emphasized the importance of tracking various aspects of one's practice, including finances, cases, clinic metrics, and complications. She recommended evaluating each clinic session by identifying three things that worked well, three areas for improvement, and one next step. Dr.Vertrees explained the concept of "clinic math" (the ratio of patients seen to operations booked) and how understanding this ratio can help in planning and potentially modifying one's practice. Adapting to Life Changes ‎ 00:50:17 Dr.Vertrees discussed the importance of adapting to life changes, noting that jobs and personal circumstances evolve over time. She emphasized that tracking helps one see these changes while planning helps one adjust to them. Dr.Vertrees pointed out that people often fail to modify their work approach when major life events occur, such as having children, leading to frustration when previous patterns no longer work. Important Documents and Contingency Planning ‎ 00:51:52 Dr.Vertrees highlighted important documents that physicians should be familiar with, including their contracts, hospital bylaws, and credentialing information. She emphasized the importance of having an exit plan, even when starting a new job, as this provides confidence and prevents feeling trapped. Dr. Vertries also mentioned the importance of tracking deadlines for licenses, DEA credentials, contract renewals, and continuing medical education requirements. Managing Negative Emotions and Shame ‎ 00:54:24 Dr.Vertrees addressed the management of negative emotions, particularly shame, which she defined as the feeling that "there's something wrong with me." She credited Brené Brown for three steps of shame resilience: reaching out to a trusted source, talking kindly to oneself, and owning one's story to control the ending. Dr.Vertrees warned that shame leads to isolation and harmful coping mechanisms, emphasizing the importance of addressing it directly. Permission to Quit and Finding Purpose ‎ 00:55:38 Dr.Vertrees shared her personal strategy of giving herself permission to quit every day, which paradoxically helps her remember why she continues in her profession. She acknowledged that eventually, one might take that permission and actually quit, which is acceptable because "this is your one and only life." Dr.Vertrees emphasized that this approach has allowed her to work harder while maintaining perspective on her purpose. Helpful Approaches and Conclusion ‎ 00:57:17 Dr.Vertrees concluded by discussing approaches that help address the root causes of problems, including therapy, coaching, journaling, community support, and sometimes medications. She emphasized the importance of recognizing one's thought patterns, developing new patterns, and having accountability. Dr.Vertrees reminded attendees about the next session on office manager insights and encouraged questions from participants.

Closer Pt. 1 | August 10, 2025Pastor Wes MorrisJoel 2:12-13 (NLT) That is why the Lord says, “Turn to me now, while there is time. Give me your hearts. Come with fasting, weeping, and mourning. Don't tear your clothing in your grief, but tear your hearts instead.” Return to the Lord your God, for he is merciful and compassionate, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. He is eager to relent and not punish.√  WE GET COMFORTABLE WHERE WE ARE. Revelation 3:16 (MSG) I know you inside and out, and find little to my liking. You're not cold, you're not hot - far better to be either cold or hot! You're stale. You're stagnant. You make me want to vomit. You brag, ‘I'm rich, I've got it made, I need nothing from anyone,' oblivious that in fact you're a pitiful, blind beggar, threadbare and homeless.√  WE ASSUME WE HAVE MORE TIME. Joel 2:12 (NIV) “Even now,” declares the Lord, “return to me with all your heart…”2 Corinthians 6:2 (GNT) Hear what God says: “When the time came for me to show you favor, I heard you; when the day arrived for me to save you, I helped you.” Listen! This is the hour to receive God's favor; today is the day to be saved!√  WE CARRY THE WEIGHT OF SHAME.Mark 5:33 (NLT) Then the frightened woman, trembling at the realization of what had happened to her, came and fell to her knees in front of him and told him what she had done.Shame is the fear that if you are fully known, you will be fully rejected. Grace is the promise that you are fully known - and still fully loved.RETURN TO MEI. PUSH PAST THE DISTRACTIONS.Mark 10:48 (MSG) When he heard that Jesus the Nazarene was passing by, he began to cry out, “Son of David, Jesus! Mercy, have mercy on me!” Many tried to hush him up, but he yelled all the louder, “Son of David! Mercy, have mercy on me!”Hebrews 12:1-2 (TLB) Let us strip off anything that slows us down or holds us back, and especially those sins that wrap themselves so tightly around our feet and trip us up; and let us run with patience the race that God has set before us.II. BRING YOUR WHOLE HEART TO GOD. Jeremiah 29:11-13 (NLT) For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.Prayer is the natural out-gushing of a soul in communion with Jesus. Just as the leaf and the fruit will come out of the vine without any conscious effort on the part of the branch but simply because of its living union with the stem, so prayer buds and blossoms and produces fruit out of souls abiding in Jesus.  - Charles SpurgeonIII. MAKE SEEKING GOD OUR PASSION.Psalm 63:1 (NLT) O God, you are my God; I earnestly search for you. My soul thirsts for you; my whole body longs for you in this parched and weary land where there is no water.Psalm 27:8 (MSG) When my heart whispered, “Seek God,” my whole being replied, “I'm seeking him!”

Scarlet Thread #1 Genesis 1-3

Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven,     whose sin is covered. 2 Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity,     and in whose spirit there is no deceit.3 For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away     through my groaning all day long. 4 For day and night your hand was heavy upon me;     my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. 5 I acknowledged my sin to you,     and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”     and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. 6 Therefore let everyone who is godly     offer prayer to you at a time when you may be found; surely in the rush of great waters,     they shall not reach him. 7 You are a hiding place for me;     you preserve me from trouble;     you surround me with shouts of deliverance. 8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;     I will counsel you with my eye upon you. 9 Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding,     which must be curbed with bit and bridle,     or it will not stay near you.10 Many are the sorrows of the wicked,     but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the Lord. 11 Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous,     and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!1.     What's your experience of the silent treatment (both giving and receiving it)?2.     Have you ever gone silent with God about something? What have been the results of that? 3.     Do you take it as love that God won't let you live in silence and deception? Does that comfort you at all?4.     Do you agree that forgiveness is the key to the blessed life? Why might that be hard to accept?5.     God's forgiveness is immediate, repetitive, and completely paid for by him. What's hard to believe about that for you?6.     Do you want to let God instruct you, teach you and counsel you? How can you do that? What might have to change?

What happens when politics becomes performance and politicians become influencers? In today's Part 2 episode, former Marine and NYT bestselling author Elliot Ackerman joins Ryan to talk about the idea that “everything's a racket,” the collapse of institutional trust, and why restraint used to define real leadership. They talk about how cancel culture morphed into shamelessness as a superpower, why we might be living in a post-shame society, Ambrose Bierce's wild literary exit, and why modern media feels more like professional wrestling than journalism.Elliot Ackerman is the New York Times bestselling author of the novels 2054, 2034, Halcyon, Red Dress in Black and White, Waiting for Eden, Dark at the Crossing, and Green on Blue, as well as the memoirs The Fifth Act: America's End in Afghanistan and Places and Names: On War, Revolution, and Returning. Elliot's books have been nominated for the National Book Award, the Andrew Carnegie Medal in both fiction and nonfiction, and the Dayton Literary Peace Prize, among others. He is a contributing writer at The Atlantic, a Senior Fellow at Yale's Jackson School of Global Affairs, and a veteran of the Marine Corps and CIA special operations, having served five tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan, where he received the Silver Star, the Bronze Star for Valor, and the Purple Heart.

This episode tackles everything from making consent conversations sexy to navigating ethical porn, kink exploration, and the realities of dating after divorce. Sarah breaks down how to make consent attractive rather than awkward, emphasizing that consent is temporary and can be withdrawn at any time. We explore the "hell yes" versus "hell no" standard for enthusiastic consent and practical ways to slow down sexual encounters for better awareness and communication. The conversation addresses how to teach consent early through body autonomy and why being honest about your boundaries actually makes you more attractive to compatible partners.

(but thanks for that quote anyway). Hosted by Klein, Ally, and a cast of weirdos (both on the team and from their audience), the show is known for its raw, offbeat style, offering a mix of sarcastic banter, candid interviews, and an unfiltered take on everything from culture to the chaos of everyday life. With a loyal, engaged fanbase and an addiction for pushing boundaries, the show delivers the perfect blend of humor and insight, all while keeping things fun, fresh, and sometimes a little bit illegal. 2024 © 2021 Audacy, Inc.

They've stopped yelling. They're going to therapy. They're more “attentive.” So why does it still feel like nothing's changed? In this final episode of our 4-part series with Dr. Anthony Mazzella, we dive into one of the most misunderstood dynamics in narcissistic relationships: the collapse of guilt into shame—and how it sabotages real change. We explore: Why narcissistically inclined individuals can't tolerate guilt How shame masquerades as self-awareness but blocks true repair The difference between behavior modification and emotional transformation Why surface-level change without integration eventually falls apart If you've ever felt confused by a partner who seems to be "trying"—but still leaves you feeling alone, invalidated, or unsafe—this episode will help you make sense of what's really happening. This is not just a conversation about narcissism. It's a conversation about what real healing looks like—and what happens when we mistake shame for growth.
