Episode Summary: The inner critic can be a constant and discouraging presence, stealing our joy and hindering us from walking in the confidence God intends for us. It often disguises itself as self-improvement or humility, but in reality, it holds us back from embracing our identity in Christ. In today’s episode, we’ll uncover the sources of this voice, explore how Scripture equips us to combat it, and learn practical, biblically-based strategies to replace self-condemnation with God’s truth. Quotables from the episode: The inner critic is that internal voice that condemns, shames, or reminds us of our shortcomings. It whispers lies like, “You’re not good enough,” “You’ll never succeed,” or “Who do you think you are?” Often, this voice feels louder in moments of vulnerability, failure, or self-doubt. Scripture reminds us that Satan is the accuser of the brethren (Revelation 12:10). His goal is to steal, kill, and destroy our confidence and joy (John 10:10). He plants seeds of doubt and discouragement, hoping we’ll lose sight of God’s truth about our identity. The enemy’s accusations often feel like they’re coming from within, making it harder to recognize their origin. Our sinful nature and brokenness often give rise to self-condemnation. Past experiences, such as critical words from others, failures, or unmet expectations, can leave scars that fuel the inner critic. We may strive for perfection, believing the lie that we’re only worthy if we meet certain standards. This striving often leads to exhaustion and deeper feelings of inadequacy. The world bombards us with messages that we must perform, achieve, or conform to be loved or valuable. Social media, advertisements, and cultural expectations paint a picture of perfection that is impossible to attain. When we fall short, the inner critic seizes the opportunity to amplify our insecurities and remind us of our perceived failures. For some, the inner critic’s voice mimics the critical or harsh words spoken by authority figures in their lives, such as parents, teachers, or peers. Over time, these external voices become internalized, shaping how we see ourselves and respond to challenges. Even well-meaning criticism can leave an imprint if it’s not tempered with grace and encouragement. The inner critic is not God’s voice. In fact, His voice always aligns with truth, hope, and encouragement. It’s important to identify and challenge thoughts that contradict God’s truth. Taking every thought captive means actively rejecting lies and replacing them with God’s promises. God’s voice always aligns with His character—He speaks love, encouragement, and restoration. While the inner critic seeks to tear us down, God’s Word builds us up and reminds us of our identity in Christ. By meditating on Scripture, we can discern the difference between the voice of the inner critic and the voice of our loving Father. His truth gives us the strength to silence the lies and walk confidently in His grace. God’s voice brings peace, conviction (not condemnation), and hope. He calls us to see ourselves as He does—fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). Become aware of when the inner critic is speaking. Pause and ask, “Is this thought true, or is it a lie?” If it doesn’t align with Scripture, it’s not from God. Journaling your thoughts can help you identify patterns of self-criticism and pinpoint recurring lies that need to be addressed. Counter every negative thought with God’s Word. For example, if the thought says, “I’m a failure,” remind yourself of Philippians 4:13: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Create a list of Bible verses that speak to your identity in Christ, and keep them handy for moments of doubt. A grateful heart leaves little room for self-criticism. Start each day by thanking God for His blessings and affirming the ways He’s working in your life. When you focus on God’s goodness, it shifts your perspective and quiets the critical voice. Surround yourself with people who speak life and encouragement. Proverbs 27:17 says, “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” Healthy, godly relationships provide support, accountability, and reminders of your worth in Christ. Be intentional about building connections with those who uplift you. Ask God to help you distinguish His voice from the lies of the enemy. James 1:5 assures us that He gives wisdom generously to those who ask. Pray for clarity and ask the Holy Spirit to guide your thoughts and words. Instead of agreeing with the critic, declare the truth of who you are in Christ. Say things like, “I am chosen,” “I am loved,” and “I am forgiven.” Speaking these affirmations aloud helps to reinforce them in your mind and heart. Whether it’s critical people, social media, or unhelpful comparisons, protect your mind by setting healthy boundaries. Consider a social media detox or limiting time spent with individuals who are overly critical or draining. Silencing your inner critic is not a one-time fix; it’s a daily practice of renewing your mind and grounding yourself in God’s truth. Remember, the voice of the inner critic is a liar. God’s voice is the only one that matters, and His voice speaks love, grace, and purpose over you. Scripture References: Romans 8:1, which declares, “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Ephesians 2:10 reminds us, “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” James 3:9-10 “With the tongue, we praise our Lord and Father, and with it, we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness... My brothers and sisters, this should not be.” Isaiah 41:10 “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” 2 Corinthians 10:5 “We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” Psalm 139:14 “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” Recommended Resources: Sacred Scars: Resting in God’s Promise That Your Past Is Not Wasted by Dr. Michelle Bengtson The Hem of His Garment: Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner AWSA 2024 Golden Scroll Christian Living Book of the Year and the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Christian Living and Non-Fiction categories YouVersion 5-Day Devotional Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms Today is Going to be a Good Day: 90 Promises from God to Start Your Day Off Right by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, AWSA Member of the Year, winner of the AWSA 2023 Inspirational Gift Book of the Year Award, the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Devotional category, the 2023 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in four categories, and the Christian Literary Awards Henri Award for Devotionals YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 1 YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 2 Revive & Thrive Women’s Online Conference Revive & Thrive Summit 2 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 1 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 2 Breaking Anxiety’s Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the AWSA 2020 Best Christian Living Book First Place, the first place winner for the Best Christian Living Book, the 2020 Carolina Christian Writer’s Conference Contest winner for nonfiction, and winner of the 2021 Christian Literary Award’s Reader’s Choice Award in all four categories for which it was nominated (Non-Fiction Victorious Living, Christian Living Day By Day, Inspirational Breaking Free and Testimonial Justified by Grace categories.)

What if Bernie Sanders and RFK Jr. are actually right about something? In a rare moment of agreement across political lines, Dr. Kelly Victory and John Rush discuss a bold new proposal to ban direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical advertising—something currently allowed only in the U.S. and New Zealand. This move could potentially break the pharmaceutical industry's grip on media influence, offering a glimmer of hope. But will powerful lobbyists manage to thwart it before it gains traction? The conversation takes a deeper turn as John and Dr. Kelly explore the eerie parallels between the tactics used by large pharmaceutical companies—often referred to as “Big Pharma”—and those once employed by the tobacco industry. Did tobacco companies simply shift their addiction-based marketing to food products—and will drug companies follow the same path if advertising is restricted? From sugar manipulation to AI-driven behavior control, the consequences could be greater than we think. This leads to a deeper question: can we even trust the scientific establishment? With mainstream medical journals often bankrolled by pharmaceutical dollars, Dr. Kelly reveals RFK Jr.'s plan to restore scientific integrity. Together, she and John unpack the chilling reality of how marketing, media, and medicine have become entangled—underscoring the urgent need for transparency in vaccine safety and empowering Americans to demand accountability. What if your doctor's advice wasn't about your health—but about their bonus? Are parents truly giving informed consent, or are they being manipulated by shame, pressure, and hidden incentives? Dr. Kelly and John expose the little-known forces shaping today's vaccine decisions—inside exam rooms and behind closed doors. Why did RFK Jr. clean house at the CDC's vaccine advisory panel? Could this bold move finally break Big Pharma's decades-long influence? And what about legal protections—did you know that if a vaccine harms your child, you might have no legal recourse? From rigged studies to media control, this episode uncovers what few are willing to say out loud. Could a quiet revolution in health policy be underway? And more importantly—are you ready to hear the truth?

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I dive deep into a topic that resonates with many of us: silencing the lies that the enemy tells us. We often find ourselves battling negative thoughts and accusations that can derail our faith and confidence. I share three powerful questions designed to help dismantle these lies and reclaim our truth. I begin by acknowledging the cruel and sadistic nature of the enemy, who delights in kicking us when we're down. It's important to recognize that while the enemy is relentless, we also have the power to combat these lies. I reflect on my own journey with spiritual warfare, sharing how I initially became obsessed with control and protection, only to realize that true protection comes from trusting God as our Father. Throughout the episode, I emphasize that spiritual warfare is not about control but about understanding our legal authority in Christ. I discuss how God sometimes allows challenges in our lives to teach us resilience and to prepare us for spiritual battles. Drawing from scripture, I highlight Isaiah 54:17, which reassures us that no weapon formed against us will prevail and that we have the power to refute every accusation.   Join my newsletter!

John talks about the ongoing breakup of Elon and Don. He also tells the story of Luka Strobel - a transgender man in South Carolina who reported experiencing harassment and being arrested after using a women's restroom at a bar. Despite having permission from the bar to use the women's restroom and having an ID that matched his gender marker, he reported being spied on, called anti-trans slurs, and forcibly removed from the bar. He was charged with public intoxication and disorderly conduct, although he stated he was sober and did not resist the police. Then, he interviews Dr. Anahita Dua and they chat about RFK Jr's demolition of science and health in government programs. And winding it up, John jokes around with comedy panel Frank Conniff, Frank Vignola, and Agunda Okeyo on trending topics, pop culture, and the insanity of the government at large.

Zack is well known on social media for his engaging graphics that tell the climate change story. He also played a pivotal role at the US National Oceanic Atmospheric Association, or NOAA, in advancing climate modelling and forecasting through innovative AI and machine learning approaches. His forced departure, along with hundreds of other scientists due to DOGE-led federal cuts, has significantly undermined NOAA's research capacity. The loss not only stalls progress in critical climate science but also poses real risks to public safety and the global understanding of climate change. “The data is actually in a pretty fragile ecosystem... in some cases in their free time, just kind of turning a crank to update the data.”“The data is actually in a pretty fragile ecosystem... in some cases in their free time, just kind of turning a crank to update the data.”“The data is actually in a pretty fragile ecosystem... in some cases in their free time, just kind of turning a crank to update the data.”

Prayer and TrinityPrayer is communication between God and youUse of the word in prayer – Lectio Divina (show notes) – Praying through a passage and asking God for directionLord's Prayer as a template for prayer (show notes)Silence and solitudeSilence - ceasing inner thoughts and emotional responses to be still before God (Ps 46:10; 62:5; Habakuk 2:20).  We quiet ourselves to be able to hear the Lord speak even if he chooses his “still, small voice” - 1 Kings 19:12 (Hebrew - a sound silent, soft, light, gentle).  Silencing the inner voice and emotion that we feel prepares us to be fully concentrated on God.   Solitude - to be fully present to God and not paying attention to anyone or anything else. We might be alone or in a group. Solitude is more a state of mind and heart than it is a place (Foster, Celebration of Discipline).Trinity – a Three-In-One God: Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Scripture affirms that the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are all GodThey mystery of Who God is can be seen in Jesus as separate from the Father Earthly ministryHis sacrifice for our sins  Ps 22 and in the passage on the Man of Sorrows of Is 53.  Resurrection2nd ComingThe Holy Spirit as separate from the Father and the SonActs 2:38 – because our sins are forgiven, the Holy Spirit lives in us Transformation passages are all Holy Spirit relatedOur fellowship with God is because the Holy Spirit lives in usClick here for more information on Prayer

In this explosive segment, the hosts dissect two major stories shaking the political and cultural landscape. First, they cover the Supreme Court's critical 7-2 decision to uphold free speech after Maine legislator Laura Libby was censured and stripped of her voting rights for naming a transgender athlete—information already publicized by the media. The case raises alarming concerns over silencing dissent, especially when it involves defending women's rights in sports. Then, the discussion pivots to Washington's out-of-control spending, revealing $852 billion still allocated to the Green New Deal through 2035 despite Republican promises to cut it. As U.S. credit ratings hit historic downgrades and national debt balloons toward $47 trillion, the hosts argue that true conservatism is vanishing—replaced by bipartisan budget bloat and economic denial. A must-listen for anyone concerned about free speech, fiscal sanity, and the future of the republic.

In this powerful and deeply honest episode, I'm joined by Callie Gualy—faith-filled Pilates instructor and founder of Sunshine Pilates. We dive into a much-needed conversation about body image, mindset, and what true freedom in Christ looks like when we renounce the things that aren't from God. Callie shares her personal journey of walking away from new age influences, finding her rhythm in motherhood, and learning to honor the body God gave her—not just for how it looks, but for how strong it is. Together, we talk about the often unspoken pressure on women to stay small, quiet, or ashamed—when God has actually called us to live boldly and walk in truth. This episode is an invitation to silence fear, doubt, and failure—and to start walking in the confidence and freedom that only Jesus gives. Whether you're struggling with body shame, feeling stuck spiritually, or needing a reminder that obedience opens doors, this conversation will meet you right where you are.

Today's social and political climates feel clouded by fear, distance, polarization and loneliness; why is it that groupthink and conformity seem to rule our neighborhoods, pop culture, friend circles, workplaces and social media feeds? It's time for us to learn how to sit with disagreement, debate better, appreciate our differences, and revel in the diversity of ideas and opinions that reflect our world.  Journalist Jenara Nerenberg has not shied away from taking on complex ideas and opinions, first in her bestselling book Divergent Mind about neurological diversity, and now with her second groundbreaking book, Trust Your Mind, which examines viewpoint diversity and encourages us not to shy away from the deepest forms of connection and insight that can come from uncomfortable conversations, independent thinking, and sometimes even loud, productive and healthy arguing.  While “conflict” feels like a scary word to some, Nerenberg dives deep into her own life experiences as well as the social science research on the psychology of groupthink to understand why our world is in peril in the face of people feeling too terrified to speak their minds. This challenge is not just limited to politics—the power of critical thinking and exiting groupthink has far-reaching impact on how we communicate with spouses, classmates, colleagues, family members and beyond. By understanding how group identity forms and the dangers of self-silencing, we allow our politics and our reasoning abilities to evolve, which leads to healthier societies. Trust Your Mind has received wide acclaim from Interfaith America's Eboo Patel, social psychologists Kurt Gray and Ethan Kross, former ACLU president Nadine Strossen, and many more.  Joining Nerenberg in this special conversation is leading investigative reporter Lee Fang, one of the most daring and sought-after independent journalists of our time. This conversation is not to be missed. About the Speakers Jenara Nerenberg is the bestselling author of Divergent Mind, hailed as “extraordinary, jaw-dropping” by Library Journal; she is an Aspen Ideas Brave New Idea speaker and the author of the new book Trust Your Mind, on the psychology of groupthink. A celebrated writer covering the intersection of psychology and society, Nerenberg's work has been featured in the UC Berkeley Greater Good Science Center magazine, Fast Company magazine, CNN, NPR, BBC and elsewhere. Nerenberg speaks widely on social science topics, including at universities, libraries, companies and organizations around the world. She is a graduate of UC Berkeley and the Harvard School of Public Health; Nerenberg grew up in San Francisco and, as a millennial, can now be found on Instagram.

No one expects to be here. But many of us are.In this episode, Alyssa Nutile and I open up a raw and rarely discussed topic: abortion after a prenatal diagnosis. We talk about how these decisions are shaped by love, by fear, by systemic failures, and by the weight of what it means to bring a child into the world when you know what they might face.We also explore what it means to carry both love and grief into that decision-making space and why so many parents are left feeling like there was never really a choice at all.It’s a heavy conversation. And it’s also a deeply human one. If you’ve been there, are there, or just want to understand this conversation better, this episode is for you.

In this insightful episode of the Leadership Sandbox, Tammy J. Bond explores the evolving generational landscape in today's workplaces. She delves into the communication challenges between Boomers, Gen Xers, Millennials, and Gen Z, and emphasizes the importance of understanding diverse communication styles. Tammy underscores the need for leaders to foster inclusive environments where all voices are valued, highlighting strategies to bridge generational divides, enhance collaboration, and address the silence that can impede innovation. Whether you're a leader or team member, learn how effective listening, feedback, and cultural modeling can transform team dynamics. KEY TAKEAWAYS Millennials and Gen Z are not fragile—they're frustrated by communication gaps.  A generational translation gap makes understanding each other's perspectives essential.  Leaders need to listen differently to retain and engage talent.  Silencing younger team members leads to disengagement and missed opportunities.  Respectful communication involves challenging assumptions with care.  Most conflicts stem from miscommunication rather than personality clashes.  Building a translation bridge enhances team cohesion and productivity.  Feedback should be a two-way process—encouraging open dialogue.  Timing and tone are critical components of effective communication.  Organizational culture is shaped by leadership's actions and modeling, not just words. Tune in for actionable insights to elevate your leadership and improve team dynamics across generations!

Hello, dear ones!In this episode, I wanted to share with you something that has deeply transformed my life recently—how silence can be a powerful tool for connecting with our true selves and the world around us.Here are a few thoughts I felt called to pass along:Silencing the Noise: Lately, I've been learning how powerful it is to quiet the noise around us so we can really connect with ourselves. It's a gift we all have, and when we take the time to listen, we can hear what's truly important.Trust the Journey: No matter what's ahead, I encourage you to trust the process. Life has a way of unfolding, and we can always find answers if we stay curious and open to what each moment brings.Shedding Our Masks: We all want to be loved and seen for who we truly are, not for the masks we sometimes wear. In the past, I've used masks to feel more worthy, but I've come to understand that real love and connection only come when we are authentic.Nature's Wisdom: Nature has a way of reminding us who we are. We often think of ourselves as separate from the natural world, but we are nature. When we take time to reconnect with nature, we're reconnecting with ourselves. It's essential for our well-being.Small Practices, Big Impact: It doesn't take much—just a few minutes each day of stillness, whether it's through meditation, a walk in nature, or simply taking time to breathe. I've found that small, consistent moments of quiet can truly help us tap into our deeper wisdom.The Tools We Already Have: We each carry the tools for self-discovery within us—whether it's through breathing, journaling, or pulling an angel card for guidance. I've discovered how important it is to take time for silence and listen to what's inside. The answers we seek are often right there, waiting for us to hear them.The Power of Listening: When we stop the rush and the noise, we create space to hear our inner truth. And in that truth, we find guidance and clarity.A little reminder to you, my dear friends: No matter what's happening around you, remember to trust and stay connected to yourself. Don't let fear take over. Your truth is always inside you—it's never out there. So, take a moment today, go inside, and listen.Sending you all my love and light, and reminding you that your inner treasure is waiting for you to rediscover it.............More LinksFor Crina´s website For Crina's Instagram click here!For Dream Again Podcast's Instagram click here!For Youtube Don't Forget is time to DREAM AGAIN

Stephanie discusses Trump's plans to accept a luxury ($400 Million) 747 from Qatar to use as Air Force One. The luxury plane, which would be one of the most valuable gifts ever received by the U.S. government, would eventually be donated to Trump's presidential library after he leaves office. She also talks about Ras Baraka, mayor of Newark NJ and candidate in a June gubernatorial primary, who was arrested by ICE agents for trespassing after demanding entrance at a new detention facility in his city.

Mother's Day can bring up a swirl of emotions—joy, grief, resentment, or longing. If your heart feels tender around this time, this episode and meditation is for you.   We explore the often-invisible “mother wound”—not what was said, but what wasn't. It lives in the quiet spaces: the comfort that never came, the sensitivity that was too much, the silence you learned to keep just to feel safe.   These early emotional imprints shape our adult patterns: – People-pleasing – Silencing your truth – Ignoring your needs – Struggling to set boundaries – Feeling like you're too much or never enough   As a self-love coach, I help women notice how their inner critic was often inherited—absorbed from caregivers and culture. In this episode, I guide you through a gentle process to begin healing: my signature CUDDLE UP Method, which invites you to sit with what hurts, listen to what needs love, and become the supportive presence you always deserved.   Your inner child doesn't need fixing—she needs you to stay and be with the big emotions that perhaps your caregivers couldn't.   Come home to yourself, one loving breath at a time in this guided meditation to cuddle up with your inner child.   Sending you lots and lots of love, Audrey   Mentioned in this episode:   My signature CUDDLE UP Method (from my upcoming book) Healing practices for self-trust and emotional safety Why your inner critic isn't your fault—and how to transform it   Join me for Upcoming Retreats & Offerings: Self-Love Retreat – July 21 in the Pacific Northwest: A day of healing, community, embodiment, and soul nourishment.

Dr. Paulson continues to characterize the dialogue between Luther and Erasmus. As Erasmus begins to grasp every possible need for free will, he finally arrives at an argument based on societal behavior. Erasmus knows Luther does not want society to be lawless and appeals to the law's ability to rein in chaos. Luther, of course, does not give in and continues his appeal to Scripture.  Show Notes: Support 1517 Podcast Network 1517 Podcasts 1517 on Youtube 1517 Podcast Network on Apple Podcasts 1517 Events Schedule 1517 Academy - Free Theological Education What's New from 1517: Preorder Sinner Saint by Luke Kjolhaug The Impossible Prize: A Theology of Addiction by Donavan Riley Ditching the Checklist by Mark Mattes Broken Bonds: A Novel of the Reformation, Book 1 of 2 by Amy Mantravadi More from the hosts: Caleb Keith Steven Paulson

It's nice if you can get it, but if you're saying you need to gimme this so I can do this, they're not the problem. Your thinking is the problem." - Evy PoumpourasFormer Secret Service agent Evy Poumpouras shares her powerful journey of overcoming rejection and pursuing her career despite facing mockery and lack of support. Growing up with immigrant parents from Greece who couldn't understand her professional aspirations, Evy learned to forge her own path without seeking external validation. She candidly reveals a pivotal moment when a probation officer recruiter laughed at her behind her back after she failed an exam—yet this humiliation became fuel that ultimately propelled her toward success in federal law enforcement.Evy delivers transformative wisdom about distinguishing between unsupportive loved ones and toxic individuals who actively wish for your failure. She emphasizes the critical importance of trusting your intuition, removing energy vampires from your life, and releasing the need for others' approval before taking action. Her remarkable transformation from feeling shame after professional rejection to becoming a respected Secret Service agent offers listeners a blueprint for developing unshakable self-belief even when facing ridicule and skepticism from others.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

In this episode of The Dr. Cloud Show, Dr. Henry Cloud explores the powerful impact of negative thought patterns and how they affect our mental health. Drawing from clinical experience, he addresses how automatic negative thoughts can function like "someone walking behind you banging you on the head with a stick" - a metaphor that captures how self-criticism operates in our minds. This episode features practical techniques for identifying and redirecting these thought patterns, from tracking negative thoughts to understanding their origins in past relationships and unresolved trauma.   The call-in segment showcases individuals navigating challenging life situations - from chronic illness and family relocation conflicts to narcissistic relationship patterns and relationship recovery after infidelity. Throughout these conversations, Dr. Cloud provides actionable insights on setting boundaries, seeking appropriate therapeutic support, and celebrating relationship victories even after significant struggles. His approach emphasizes both personal accountability and the healing power of healthy connections.   Relationships shouldn't leave you feeling anxious or exhausted. If you've struggled to deal with someone else's toxic behaviors, Dr. Henry Cloud wants to help you find clarity and healing. Dr. Cloud's free resource, "10 Strategies for Dealing with Toxic People," offers practical, compassionate guidance on recognizing unsafe people, handling manipulative behaviors, and setting firm, loving boundaries.
