Adam's on the front porch watching one of those Oklahoma sunsets that make you forgive the state for everything else. Dave pulls up. Walks toward the house, chest out, confident, ready to record. Adam asks the only question that matters: did you bring the equipment? He did not. New baby syndrome. Joshua got his first bath that night, Lady Pamela's still on the mend and bending over a tub isn't on the menu yet, and somewhere between bathing the kids and getting out the door, the recording gear stayed home. So Dave logged a solid hour of windshield time driving back and forth across town to fetch it. The baby's worth it. Six days old and already back to birth weight, sleeping three hours at a stretch, an almost unfairly easy kid for a man who's had colicky ones before.The pour is a curveball: Saltire, a 14-year independent bottling distilled at Tomar, a first-fill Oloroso sherry cask. It's a Speyside, but nobody at the table would've guessed it. It drinks salty, like saltwater taffy, like it grew up near the ocean. The notes promise polished leather, dried cherries, tobacco, and, if you add water, burnt sugar, hazelnut, and "speckled chocolate milk," a phrase that derailed the conversation for a solid minute because nobody could agree what speckled chocolate milk is supposed to be. Cheers to Jesus. We're on the winning side.Then Adam reaches past the planned backbiting episode, grabs Francis Weiser's Handbook of Christian Feasts and Customs off the shelf, and lands on something better: the Solemnity of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, June 24th.Here's the hook that got him. The Church only celebrates three birthdays. Jesus. Our Lady. And John the Baptist. Everybody else gets honored on the day they die, because for a saint that's the real birthday, the day they enter eternal life. So why John? The tradition says all three were born free from original sin. John wasn't conceived without it like Jesus and Mary, but he was sanctified in the womb when he leapt at the sound of Our Lady's voice at the Visitation. Born clean. St. Augustine treats it as a settled tradition, and if the Fathers are in, the guys are in.The logic of the date is the part that'll stick with you. June 24th rides the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, and from there the light starts to wane all the way down to Christmas and the winter solstice, when it turns and climbs again. John said it himself: I must decrease, so that He must increase. That's not just a calendar coincidence. It's a map of the soul. The more room you take up in your own heart, the less there is for Christ. If you want Him to be king there, you've got to get out of the way.Then the fun: how to actually live it. Put it on the calendar and get to Mass. Pray the Benedictus as a family and light a candle. Build a bonfire on the eve, John the Baptist is one of the three fires on the Catholic year. Feed the kids honey sticks and, if you're brave, dried crickets, locusts and wild honey, desert food. Make it the anchor of your summer. This is the Establish pillar in the flesh, the small traditions that hand your kids an identity they'll carry for life. Catholic spice. Raise your glass.TOPICS COVEREDDave forgets the recording equipment thanks to "new baby syndrome," and logs an hour of windshield time driving back for itJoshua Niles at six days old, back to birth weight and sleeping three hours at a stretch, an unfairly easy babyLady Pamela still recovering, and a dad bathing the kids to take the load offThe aside on Irish twins, baby formula, and why breastfeeding affects fertilityElizabeth Niles getting blessed by Pope Leo, and which popes "bless with their kisses"Whiskey of the week: Saltire 14-year, an independent bottling distilled at Tomar, first-fill Oloroso sherry caskA Speyside that drinks salty, like saltwater taffy, and the mystery of "speckled chocolate milk"Dave's wheat experiment, tripling the planting and cutting it by hand with a scythe, and the open call for a small-scale wheat-farming expert to email the showThe broody-hen saga, abandoned eggs, four surprise chicks, and Adam's "apartment" trick for relocating broody hens at nightWhy the episode pivoted from a planned backbiting topic to living liturgicallyFrancis Weiser's Handbook of Christian Feasts and Customs as a source for feast-day livingThe Solemnity of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist on June 24thWhy the Church celebrates only three birthdays: Jesus, Mary, and John the BaptistThe tradition that all three were born free from original sin, and John sanctified in the womb at the VisitationWho John was: son of Zechariah and Elizabeth, Zechariah struck mute, "no one greater born of women"The small-t tradition that John's parents died young and he was raised in the desert by angelsJohn as the forerunner and the "best man" escorting the bride to Christ the BridegroomFifteen churches dedicated to John the Baptist in ancient Constantinople aloneJohn as patron of tailors, shepherds, and masons, and why each one fitsWhy June 24th: the summer solstice and "I must decrease so that He must increase" as a map of the soulThe real reason it's the 24th and not the 25th: the Roman calendar counting backward from the kalendsWeiser's pushback on the idea that the feast was a baptized pagan partyJust how high this feast ranked in the early Church: three Masses, abstaining from servile work, and a 14-day fast prescribed by a German synod in 1022The other two feasts of John: the Decollation (Aug 29) and the East's celebration of his conception (Sep 23)St. John Paul II on Christ as door, vine, mother hen, and actual BridegroomTier-one celebration: put feast days on your calendar and get to Holy MassJoseph Pieper on a true feast requiring the divine and abundanceFamily traditions like pierogies, and how they hand kids a Catholic and ethnic identityPraying the Benedictus (Luke 1:68-79) as a family and lighting a candleTier-two celebration: a bonfire on the eve, the three fires of the Catholic year, and feeding the kids crickets and honey sticksTier-three celebration: making the feast the anchor of your family's summer vacationREFERENCED IN THIS EPISODEBooks & Writings:Handbook of Christian Feasts and Customs by Francis X.

This conscious relationship episode asks a confronting question: are you in a bad relationship? To see a relationship clearly, you need to do the shadow work that most of us skip entirely. In this episode, Georgianna and Steph get into two questions that help you tell whether your relationship is actually toxic or misaligned, or if you're in a healthy relationship that you're just not fully inhabiting yet.Most of us spend our energy tracking the other person — their actions, their words, their patterns — while largely missing our own part of the dance. The episode covers what it looks like to own what you genuinely want and need in a partner (not just what “sounds reasonable”), how your patterns of protection can make you dismiss something good or cling to something wrong, and the real test for a partner: not that they're already skilled at emotional depth and self-expression, but that they demonstrate a consistent willingness to try.Georgianna and Steph share their own stories about relationships where they couldn't see clearly, and they walk you through a body-based practice for tuning into both sides of your relationship: the things you love, the things that are hard — and what you personally contribute to each. What you'll learn:Why you can't assess a relationship clearly when your attachment patterns are running the showThe two streams of self-inquiry: what you want, and what's your part in the danceHow eagerness for a relationship to "be the thing" can make you ignore what you already knowThe difference between wanting a partner who can do conflict and wanting them to be a perfect fitWhat willingness looks like — and why it matters more than capacityA body-based practice for owning both the light and shadow sides of your relationshipWhy performing happiness is the thing that keeps you from a relationship that's actually alignedResources Mentioned:Somatic Integration Sessions — twice-monthly live body-based practiceConscious Relationship Training — 10-week live cohort, twice yearly; fall cohort doors open soonThe Self-Compassionate Body-Based Toolkit — self-paced practice library

June's Fidelity Month serves as a timely reminder of the importance of faithfulness in our relationships with God, family, friends, and community. In this episode, we explore the biblical meaning of fidelity, why it matters in a culture that often rejects commitment, and how God's perfect faithfulness serves as our model. Through Scripture, practical examples, and honest discussion about our own failures, we examine how faithfulness strengthens marriages, friendships, and society while ultimately pointing us back to the forgiveness and grace found in Christ. Support the showThe ministry of Christian Life Resources promotes the sanctity of life and reaches hearts with the Gospel.

I recently apologized to my shower handle.No, really. I turned off the water before rinsing out my conditioner, reached back to flip it on again, and instinctively said sorry to a cold, metal, completely inanimate faucet. And that moment stopped me dead in my tracks, because if I'm apologizing to shower handles, what else am I unnecessarily apologizing for in my life and business?This episode is a little different. I'm reading you an essay I originally published on my Substack, Beyond Business, because I genuinely believe so many of you need to hear it, not just read it. It's something I was almost too scared to put out into the world. But here's what I know: the over-apologizing so many of us do, especially as women in business, is costing us. It's costing us deals, visibility, clients, confidence, and the kind of success we've worked incredibly hard for.In this episode, you'll hear…Why so many of us learned to over-apologize long before we ever started a business, and how that pattern is still running the showThe jaw-dropping (and infuriating) moment at a law firm that made me feel like my ambition was something to be ashamed ofWhere over-apologizing shows up in your business, including in your marketing, your pricing conversations, and how you manage your teamA reflection prompt to help you identify where you might be apologizing unnecessarily, and what to do about itClick here to find the full show notes and transcript for this episode.EPISODE RESOURCES:Subscribe to Sam's Substack, Beyond BusinessGrab a copy of Sam's book, When I Start My Business, I'll Be HappyIf you have a question you'd like Sam to answer on a future podcast episode, you can submit it here.Click here to be notified when new episodes of On Your Terms® come outCONNECT:Get Sam's weekly newsletter, Sam's SidebarFollow Sam on InstagramFollow Sam on YouTubeSubscribe to Sam's Substack, Beyond BusinessTake Sam's free legal workshop "5 Steps to Legally Protect & Grow Your Online Business"DISCLAIMER

With over 50 years of cinematography experience, Steven has shaped the visual language of some of the most culturally significant films in history; Mr. Bernstein is also a director, screenwriter, author and podcast host. From his early days at the BBC and the high-energy era of music videos to winning an Oscar for the raw, haunting aesthetic of Monster (Charlize Theron), Steven deconstructs the craft behind the camera. We go deep into the lighting techniques of global cult classics like The Waterboy, White Chicks, and Half Baked, and discuss the magical realism of Like Water for Chocolate.We also tackle the massive shifts of 2026: The role of AI in filmmaking, the technical evolution of drones in cinema, and why the "cinema experience" remains a vital battleground against the streaming giants.

Former child abuse prosecutor Victor Vieth joins the podcast for a sobering conversation about child abuse within churches and faith communities. Drawing from decades of experience, Victor explains the prevalence of abuse, how offenders weaponize religion to groom and silence victims, and why churches often fail to respond faithfully.

We move through a stack of headlines that force hard questions about death, dignity, and what modern medicine can get wrong when speed and demand take over. We also look at how loneliness and fertility research intersect with real-life choices, and why a Christian view of the body changes how we respond. SHOW NOTES:Kentucky's “Pause in Procedure” Organ Transplant Law: Kentucky enacted House Bill 510, requiring organ procurement teams to stop immediately if any provider detects signs of life during donation procedures. The law follows a 2021 near-harvest case involving TJ Hoover and aims to strengthen patient protection, restore public trust, and address ethical concerns about death determination and informed oversight.  (Source: https://tinyurl.com/2d6dkp33  accessed 4-17-26)Death Doulas at the End of Life: Nicole Kidman says she is training as a death doula after her mother's lonely final days revealed gaps in end-of-life support.

A parenting dilemma sparks a deeper conversation about family structure and what children truly need to thrive. In this episode, we examine how cultural shifts—especially around marriage, parenting, and identity—impact kids, often in ways that go unaddressed. Drawing on the organization, Them Before Us, research, personal stories, and a biblical framework, the discussion challenges the idea that “love is all you need” and explores the importance of both a mother and a father in a child's life. We also consider how Christians can respond with truth, courage, and compassion in a culture that increasingly prioritizes adult desires over children's well-being.Support the showThe ministry of Christian Life Resources promotes the sanctity of life and reaches hearts with the Gospel.

There's a moment in every podcaster's journey when they look at their show and decide the answer is to rebrand. New name. New cover art. Fresh positioning. A clean slate.

Become a Science of Sport Supporter and show your appreciation for the pod, while also having your say and correcting Gareth and Ross' errors! A small monthly donation is all it takes!Show NotesThe Spotlight today is heavily focused on an historically fast Boston Marathon, which saw an incredible 2:01:52 for defending champion John Korir. It obliterated the course record, with the podium all going under Geoffrey Mutai's 2:03:02 from 2011. It's been called one of the "truly great" marathon performances, but Ross isn't so sure. We try to put it into context, given Boston's occasional propensity to produce exceptional conditions, with a tailwind that not only cancels out the impact of its hills, but overcomes them to create freak times. We dive into both the men's and women's performances, discuss some of the remarkable stats of the day, and ponder exactly where Korir's performance lies?Also out of Boston, Tim Noakes watched the race, and because he didn't see Korir or Sharon Lokedi, the women's winner, take in any carbohydrates during the race, the obsession with carbs is misplaced, and elites don't use them the way we are told. We discuss that theory, offering a grain or two of truth, based on what we actually saw the elites do in the race, to point out that "science by TV watching" is a pretty bad idea, unless you want to show how little you care for facts.Also in the show, England's Red Roses Rugby team dominate the sport more than perhaps any other team in history. But this has become a potential issue for the growth of the women's game, and we wonder how any other nations will catch up given Englands enormous first-mover advantage in the professionalization of the women's game?There's a fascinating doping story emerging in women's tennis, where former Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova revealed the she refused a doping test last year because of a combination of the Doping Control Officer failing to identify himself, and anxiety and an acute stress reaction. All is not necessarily as it seems, and we look back at that incident in the light of Vondrousova's own telling of it last year. On the subject of anxiety and mental health, AFL player Elijah Holland had a mental health episode leading up to, and during a game last week, and is now receiving treatment. We wonder how such cases occur in elite sports environments where the player's are so closely monitored, and what it means for duty of care of athletes?And finally, Gareth has some observations about robots that now run half-marathons faster than humans, and Ross has thoughts on tech use in sport, drawing from some great innovation in fencing.TimestampsBoston - 01:52Fuelling - 23:10Womens Rugby - 42:39Doping 52:25AFL Duty of Care - 01:06:35And Finally Some Tech - 01:14:17LinksLetsrun discuss the wind, and how the elite men made the most of it to run extraordinary times in Boston 2026Letsrun analysis of the men's race.

Is voting for the pro-life candidate always the right choice? In this episode, the conversation tackles one of the most challenging questions Christians face in the political arena. We explore the tension between single-issue voting and evaluating a candidate's overall judgment, integrity, and impact. From compromised candidates to complex policy realities, they unpack why this issue isn't as simple as it seems. Grounded in a biblical worldview, the discussion emphasizes wisdom, humility, and the ultimate mission of the Gospel—encouraging listeners to think deeply, act faithfully, and engage politics without losing sight of the bigger picture.Read (or listen to) our 6-part series on The Christian and Government here.Support the showThe ministry of Christian Life Resources promotes the sanctity of life and reaches hearts with the Gospel.

In this episode, we take a deeper look at the biblical account of Sodom and Gomorrah—not just its shocking wickedness, but the subtle spiritual drift seen in Lot and his family. Rather than using the story for comparison or self-righteousness, we explore how small compromises can gradually reshape faith, thinking, and priorities. From Lot's choices to his family's tragic decisions, this conversation highlights the danger of cultural influence and the call to self-examination. What can modern Christians learn from this ancient account?

Fifty years after the landmark case of Karen Ann Quinlan, this episode explores how one family's decision reshaped modern bioethics, patient rights, and end-of-life care. Christa, Bob, and Jeff reflect on the lasting impact of the case—from the rise of hospital ethics committees to the complexities of living wills and healthcare decision-making today.Along the way, they examine how language can influence dignity in medicine, discuss troubling real-world stories involving abortion, medical ethics, and fraud, and consider the challenges of navigating truth in a polarized, media-driven culture. This thoughtful conversation encourages listeners to think critically, engage compassionately, and uphold the value of every human life in an increasingly complex world.Show Notes:Karen Ann Quinlan's Coma - 50 years ago https://theconversation.com/50-years-ago-karen-quinlans-coma-sparked-the-movement-for-patients-rights-near-the-end-of-life-277318South Korea woman and doctors guilty of murder of newborn babyhttps://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c2k88j5x9wdoThis Cancer Researcher Home-Brewed a Beer That Works as a Vaccinehttps://reason.com/2026/03/15/enjoy-a-refreshing-diy-beer-vaccine/Hospice Fraud in California: (a problem throughout the US, but there's been more reporting on California)We visited “ground zero” for hospice fraud: Los Angeles, Californiahttps://www.cbsnews.com/projects/2026/hospice-fraud/State records show 89 hospice companies at one Los Angeles office plaza.

They unpack why Jesus delayed, the significance of a four-day death, and the unmistakable evidence of His authority over death.

They also examine hardened unbelief, even in the face of miracles, and reflect on how Jesus meets us in sorrow with compassion and truth.

What happens when a man who never wanted children suddenly feels the pull toward fatherhood? In this episode, we unpack a powerful article exploring shifting cultural attitudes about family, purpose, and legacy. From the influence of upbringing to the illusion of endless time, we discuss why more people are delaying—or rejecting—parenthood altogether. Through a Christian lens, we examine the deeper questions: What are we here for? What do we leave behind? And is family a burden or a blessing? This conversation challenges modern assumptions and invites listeners to reconsider the value of children, relationships, and the lasting impact of a life lived for others.  https://x.com/SwipeWright/status/2016519214576685341?s=20Support the showThe ministry of Christian Life Resources promotes the sanctity of life and reaches hearts with the Gospel.

Grief isn't a detour back to “normal.” It's a turning toward something new—often unwanted, always hard, yet held by God. We sit down with Dr. Stacy Jensen to trace a deeply human story of loss, love, and quiet strength after her husband Nick's death from melanoma in 2019. From family devotions in Romans 8 to the gift of a full funeral just months before COVID shutdowns, Stacy shows how mercy threads through even the darkest days.Together we unpack why the five stages of grief don't match lived experience and how Psalm 13 maps a more honest path—from “How long?” to “I will sing.” Stacy shares how each child grieved differently, what it took to parent amid waves of sorrow, and the surprising ways the body signals danger, like relentless cold before a final goodbye. She names the help that truly helps: curious questions, specific prayers, and one concrete burden lifted. A simple ask—“What necessary thing do you hate doing right now?”—led friends to take over school lunches and gave her back breathing room.For churches, friends, and caregivers, we offer practical ways to care well beyond the funeral—steady presence, scheduled check‑ins months later, rides for kids, and remembering hard anniversaries. For students and young adults who feel invincible, we talk about preparing your heart now with Scripture memory, worship habits, and a circle of people who won't rush your pain. And for anyone walking through fresh loss, Stacy's message is clear: do the next right thing, rest in God's nearness, and trust that nothing can separate you from His love.If this conversation brought someone to mind, share it with them.

What happens when we imagine two impossible worlds—one where abortion is fully outlawed and another where it's universally celebrated—and then ask what truly changes? We use this stark contrast to cut through the noise and get to the heart of pro-life work: shaping culture, forming consciences, and loving people in concrete, sacrificial ways.We start by testing the “dream world” many advocates long for. History reminds us that illegality never fully ends abortion; it only pushes it underground and often makes it more dangerous. Laws matter, and the law can teach, but law alone can't heal fear, shame, or selfishness. So we push beyond policy to the roots: sexual ethics, family formation, support for mothers and fathers, and faith communities that accompany families before and after birth. Then we turn to the “nightmare world,” which feels uncomfortably close to our present. As access expands and dissent narrows, demoralization and isolation tempt believers—but the early church shows a better pattern: visible love, clear contrasts, and resilient hope that thrives even when culture disagrees.Throughout, we keep returning to the end game. Winning a vote yet losing our neighbor's trust is a hollow victory. Real change happens where compassion meets conviction—where churches become known for help, not just headlines; where men are called into responsibility; where the law's teaching power is paired with patient discipleship; and where the value of life is taught at the level of the heart. Whether laws move toward restriction or celebration, our mission remains: protect the vulnerable, speak truth with grace, and build communities that make choosing life imaginable and sustainable.Join us for a grounded, honest look at strategy, culture, and hope.

What if the story of vaccines is really a story about protecting what we value most? We sit down with biomedical researcher Dr. Rob Balza to chart the arc from smallpox variolation to today's mRNA platforms, then push past headlines to the data that actually changes lives. Along the way, we face the hard questions Christians are asking: how do we balance stewardship of our bodies with love for immunocompromised neighbors? What does “personal choice” mean when disease spreads before symptoms? And how do we weigh decades of clinical evidence against the pull of a compelling anecdote?We break the science down clearly. Attenuated and “old school” vaccines trained the immune system with weakened pathogens; mRNA vaccines use a temporary set of instructions so your cells make a single target protein, prompting immunity without the virus itself. We unpack trial results showing early high efficacy against infection, strong and durable protection against severe disease, and shorter infectious periods that can reduce spread. We also talk openly about waning antibodies, evolving variants, and why expectations should adapt as the virus changes.Trust is the other half of the story. We examine how mixed messaging about masks, politicized guidance, and recycled myths—like the debunked vaccine-autism claim—fractured public confidence. Then we turn to a sensitive ethical concern: fetal-derived cell lines used in research. Dr. Balza explains moral proximity, timing, and intent, clarifying that vaccines don't contain fetal tissue and that long-established lines don't require new abortions. Through a Lutheran lens of vocation and providence, we explore how God often works through ordinary callings—clinicians, scientists, and citizens—to safeguard the vulnerable.Come for the history; stay for the clarity. You'll leave with a grounded understanding of how vaccines work, how evidence should be weighed, and how faith can guide wise, neighbor-loving choices in a world where our decisions ripple outward.

Think Dobbs ended the abortion debate? The numbers say otherwise. We unpack why abortions have risen since the ruling, how chemical pills and telehealth shattered state borders, and why federal inaction leaves courts and clinics chasing the wrong target. From March for Life optics to agency appointments and policy gaps, we take a frank look at what pro-life voters expected, what they got, and how strategy must evolve when access is a mail-order box away.Then we pivot to real hope on the dementia front. A new blood test could flag Alzheimer's earlier, improved delivery methods aim to cross the blood-brain barrier more effectively, and gene therapy advances for neurodegenerative disease hint at a new class of treatments. We break down how inflammation, vaccines like shingles, lithium's neuroprotection, and lifestyle interventions interact, while keeping expectations grounded in the long timelines and hard math of clinical research.We also step into a kitchen-table dilemma: the soaring price of youth sports. Tryout fees, club dues, and travel costs pressure families to choose between community, church, and competition. We question the promises, ask what the end game should be, and explore healthier paths to skill, character, and family life that don't depend on a weekend in a hotel and a four-figure bill.To close, we talk AI's uneasy march into intimacy and end-of-life decisions—from chatbot “partners” to euthanasia pods with algorithmic gatekeepers. We love what AI can do for research and care, but we draw a clear line: technology must not replace moral judgment or human presence.If this conversation challenged or encouraged you, share it with a friend, subscribe for future episodes, and leave a review to help others find the show. What's the one change you think would make the biggest difference right now—policy, culture, or tech?SHOW NOTES:Abortions Rise after Dobbs: After the Supreme Court's 2022 decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization ended the constitutional right to abortion, national abortion numbers were expected to plunge. Instead, they rose. At the center of this counterintuitive trend are abortion pills, telemedicine, and the evil inclination of human beings who seek to usurp God's will with their own.
