In this episode, Bobby Bosler speaks honestly about a morning when he felt spiritually dry, empty, and numb even while preparing to preach and serve the Lord. Rather than pretending that surrendered Christians never experience seasons of silence, he reminds young people that even faithful believers can feel worn out, thirsty, and distant from God. Through prayer, worship, and Psalm 42, Bobby explains how the Lord began to turn that emptiness into spiritual refreshment. The episode encourages listeners not to panic when they feel dry, but to seek God, worship Him, and trust His promises even when the feelings do not immediately change. Topics Discussed Serving God while still feeling empty The danger of assuming spiritual people never experience dryness Why silence and numbness do not mean God has left you Depending on God's promises when feelings do not change The connection between spiritual thirst and Psalm 42 Worshiping God in the middle of dryness Seeking God honestly instead of hiding discouragement How God can use spiritual thirst to draw your heart back to Himself Key Takeaways You can be surrendered to God and still have moments where your soul feels dry. Spiritual numbness should not drive you to discouragement, but to deeper dependence on God. God's promises are still true even when your feelings do not immediately confirm them. The answer to spiritual thirst is not pretending, performing, or quitting; it is going to the Lord. Worship can turn your attention away from your emptiness and back to God's worthiness. Psalm 42 reminds us that thirsting for God is not unusual, but it must lead us to seek the living God. Don't stay in the silence. Seek His face, praise Him, and let Him meet the need of your soul.

Ronda Rousey is back in the spotlight on Netflix this weekend — and it felt like the perfect moment to revisit this conversation we had with her in Hollywood - one of the most funny and honest conversations we've ever had on this show.Sitting down with Jake and Damian in Hollywood, Ronda reveals the secret she hid from everyone: that she fought the final chapter of her UFC career already concussed, shutting herself in dark locker rooms between rounds to hide the damage. She talks about losing her dad at eight years old, the coaches who dislocated her jaw, the 14-second armbar she invented on the spot that's still the fastest title submission in UFC history, and the moment after her defeat to Holly Holm where she genuinely thought dying would be preferable.

What happens when something that once felt impossible suddenly feels… normal? In this short solo episode of Real Women's Work, Jen shares a deeply personal experience attending a sold-out Professional Women's Hockey League game with her daughter — and the unexpected moment that stopped her cold: sitting in traffic outside the arena realizing all those people were there to watch women play hockey. For girls who grew up as athletes in the 90s, hearing "nobody watches women's sports" was constant background noise. This episode reflects on what it means to witness real cultural change in real time — packed arenas, young girls wearing jerseys, fans debating player stats, and women athletes finally being treated as simply… athletes. It's about visibility. Progress. Generational change. And the powerful things that happen when girls grow up seeing what's possible. Topics include: Growing up as a female athlete in the 90s The emotional impact of attending a sold-out PWHL game Why visibility changes ambition The connection between sports, culture, and possibility What daughters inherit from the women who came before them If you've ever wondered whether cultural progress is real — this episode is a reminder that sometimes you can feel it happening around you.

In this powerful Mother's Day message, Debbie explores the story of Deborah in Judges 4 and 5 and unpacks what she describes as “the Deborah anointing” — an anointing marked by wisdom, worship, humility, courage and spiritual authority.   Beginning with the name of God, El Shaddai, Debbie reflects on the Father's heart to nurture, provide and pour out His goodness on His people. Just as a child confidently places a demand on a loving parent, we are invited to approach God as sons and daughters who trust His provision, His love and His sufficiency. From there, Debbie moves into the account of Deborah, the only female judge of Israel, who led from a place of humility and intimacy with God. Sitting under a palm tree, accessible to the people and attentive to the voice of God, Deborah carried wisdom, released prophetic strategy and partnered with others to bring breakthrough and peace to the land. This message is not about competition between men and women, but about honouring the anointing on one another and learning to walk together in covenant, maturity and unity. Deborah's leadership carried both the tenderness of worship and the fierceness of a warrior spirit, and Debbie challenges the church to recover both again. There is also a strong prophetic call throughout this message for the Church to walk in greater transparency, humility and unity in worship. In a time where there is so much division, noise and self-promotion, Debbie reminds us that the people of God are called to pursue peace, honour one another, and become a unified sound in the earth that displaces darkness and releases the presence of God into regions and cities. More than anything, this message is an invitation to deeper surrender — to become people who carry the wisdom of God, who worship with abandon, who pursue unity instead of division, and who are willing to let the refiner's fire burn away everything that hinders the fullness of Christ in us. Because the land finds peace when the people of God walk in wisdom, worship and unity together.

What if the Book of Job is not primarily about explaining suffering—but about surviving trauma? In this episode of The Biblical Mind Podcast, Dru Johnson sits down with Old Testament scholar and licensed therapist Michelle Keener to explore the Book of Job through the lens of trauma, PTSD, lament, and healing. Drawing from her book Comfort from the Ashes, Keener argues that the long poetic sections of Job—often skipped by modern readers—may actually portray the slow process of trauma recovery rather than abstract theological debate. Together, Dru and Michelle discuss why Job's friends sound so much like modern Christian clichés, how churches often rush people past suffering toward “victory,” and why lament is essential to spiritual health. The conversation also explores the neuroscience of trauma, the body's involuntary survival responses, repetition in trauma processing, and how God's presence—not simplistic answers—brings healing in Job. They also examine the church's discomfort with anger, grief, and unresolved pain, asking whether modern Christians have lost the biblical language of lament found in Job and the Psalms. This episode is a thoughtful and deeply pastoral conversation for anyone wrestling with suffering, trauma, faith, or the meaning of the Book of Job.

Sitting in their “war room” surrounded by barrels, we talk with the team behind Whiskey War and walk through how a distillery can turn tasting into a real experience, not just a drink at the bar.We dig into what makes Whiskey War work as a modern blend, why consistency and affordability matter, and how today's whiskey market is changing what's possible at the same price point.

Along the way we hit the bigger debates that whiskey fans love, including blending for quality, the rise of finished whiskey, and how a brand can experiment without losing its core profile.The food pairing is the centerpiece: burrata with peach jam and balsamic, chorizo rangoons with spice, berry pancakes that unlock vanilla and syrup notes in double oaked whiskey, and a hot honey chicken biscuit that shows how oak and proof can mellow heat while amplifying depth. We also talk speakeasy culture, High Bank's three locations (Grandview, Gahanna, Westerville), and the kind of hospitality that keeps people coming back.If you love whiskey tasting, bourbon blending, barrel proof releases, double oaked whiskey, and smart whiskey and food pairing ideas, hit play.

Researchers say prolonged sitting is linked to everything from back pain and poor circulation to high risks of heart disease, diabetes, and even early death.But here's the twist, it's not about whether you exercise. Even people who are in the gym regularly can still be affected if the rest of their day is spent mostly sedentary. So how bad is sitting all day, really?Joining Shane and Ciara to discuss is Stephen O'Rourke, Clinical Specialist in Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist at the Mater University Hospital, Dublin, with a specialist focus on spinal care and lower back pain, and a health contributor to The Journal.ie.

TDAgiantslayer@Gmail.com The David Alliance  Garth Heckman   The Busy Man's Substitute     There is something about a man that would rather build something than bow to something. Give a man a mission and he'll work himself to exhaustion. Ask that same man to sit quietly in prayer for thirty minutes and he'll suddenly remember seventeen things that need to get done first. We are, by nature, doers. And somewhere along the way, we convinced ourselves that doing things for God was the same as being with God. It is not.   The Scripture "But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, 'Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!' 'Martha, Martha,' the Lord answered, 'you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed — or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken from her.'" — Luke 10:40–42   Now before you say "that's a story about women" — slow down.   Martha is every man who has ever stayed busy for God while quietly avoiding intimacy with God. She wasn't sinning. She was serving. She was working hard, doing good things, keeping everything moving. And Jesus gently called it a distraction.   The Honest Truth About Why We'd Rather Work 1. Work gives us something to show for ourselves. Prayer produces nothing we can photograph, present, or point to. You can't put thirty minutes of quiet conversation with God on a report. But a new ministry program? A mission trip organized? A church built? That's something. That feels like proof we matter. The hard truth is that a lot of what we call "work for God" is really work for our own sense of worth. We need to feel productive. We need to feel useful. Sitting in silence with God doesn't feed that hunger — it exposes it. 2. Work keeps us in control. When you're managing a project, you hold the pen. You make the calls. You set the timeline. Prayer requires the opposite posture. It requires you to come to Someone greater than yourself, admit you don't have all the answers, and wait. For a man wired to lead and fix and solve — that is genuinely uncomfortable. We don't like waiting. We don't like not knowing. And prayer, at its core, is an act of surrender. 3. Work keeps us from the conversation we're afraid to have. Here's the one most men won't say out loud: sometimes we stay busy because being still means being honest. And being honest with God means the real stuff surfaces — the fear, the failure, the sin we've been managing around, the doubt we've never admitted to anyone. A project never asks you how you're really doing. God always does.   The Deeper Problem When a man substitutes work for prayer, he doesn't just miss out on rest — he starts running on his own fuel. And a man running on his own fuel will eventually hit empty at exactly the wrong moment. Every great project built without a foundation of prayer is just a man's plan with God's name on it. Moses didn't lead two million people through the desert on strategy. David didn't defeat Goliath on confidence. Nehemiah didn't rebuild the wall on project management skills. Each of them had one thing in common before the great work began — they had been alone with God long enough to know it was His work and not theirs. The work they did for God flowed out of the time they spent with God. That order matters more than most men realize.   The Gut Check Ask yourself honestly: When was the last time I prayed longer than I planned for a project? Do I know God's voice — or just His assignments? Am I building His kingdom or building my reputation inside His kingdom? If God called a halt to every ministry project tomorrow, would I still have a relationship with Him — or would I have nothing left to talk about?   The Invitation Jesus didn't say Martha's work was wrong. He said Mary's choice was better. The better thing is not always the bigger thing. Sometimes the most powerful thing a man can do for God's kingdom is close the laptop, silence the phone, sit down in a quiet room and say — "I'm here. Not to report. Not to plan. Not to ask for anything. Just — here." That kind of prayer doesn't feel productive. It doesn't look like much from the outside. But it is the one thing that turns ordinary men into dangerous ones. Because a man who knows how to be with God is a man God can trust with the work.   Closing Prayer Lord, forgive me for the times I mistook my busyness for faithfulness. Teach me that You want my presence before You want my productivity. Still the part of me that needs to perform — and grow the part of me that simply needs You. Amen.   "Be still and know that I am God." — Psalm 46:10

What if confidence has been the wrong goal all along? What if the armour you have spent years building to survive the world is the very thing standing between you and the life you were meant to live? What if the most radical act available to you right now is simply giving yourself permission to be? In this deeply honest and wide-ranging conversation, award-winning journalist, author, and global speaker Mariana Atencio opens up about the inner work behind the public courage. Having spent fifteen years parachuting into some of the world's most high-stakes environments, covering earthquakes in Haiti, student protests in Hong Kong, and interviewing world leaders including Pope Francis and the King of Spain, Mariana built a career most people only dream of. And yet the thing she found hardest of all was learning to sit still. This episode is for anyone who has ever felt exhausted by the weight of proving themselves, worn different personas for different rooms, or quietly wondered why no amount of external achievement ever quite feels like enough. The Currency That Is Really Real When Catherine asks Mariana about the common advice that women simply need more confidence, her answer is immediate and disarming. Confidence, she says, is not the goal. In a world that is increasingly manufactured, fake, and unreal because of AI, social media algorithms, and the relentless pressure to compare, the only currency that remains genuinely real is self-trust. Not the performative kind. The quiet, instinctive kind that allows you to know who you are, why you do what you do, and when something simply does not feel right. Mariana believes that developing and deepening this trust will become one of the most critical skills any woman can build as we move further into the AI age. The 15-Year-Old Letter One of the most moving moments in this conversation centres on a letter. Written in Caracas at the age of fifteen as part of a time capsule exercise, the letter eventually found its way back to Mariana during the pandemic. Reading her own words after so many years stopped her in her tracks. The girl in that letter already knew what mattered. She wanted people to feel something from the work she did. Not the network, not the title, not the following. Just the feeling. In reconnecting with that fifteen-year-old, Mariana found not a regression but a homecoming. The journey, she believes, is always toward our authentic self and who we were born to be. It is simply a process of shedding the layers we accumulated along the way for survival, for validation, for protection. The Hardest Thing Isn't Chasing the Fire Here is the paradox at the heart of this episode. The woman who covered category five hurricanes, chased cartels across Mexico, and reported from war zones says the hardest thing she has ever faced is sitting still with herself. Harder than chasing the storms. Harder than jumping off planes. The real work, she says, is inner work. It is sitting with yourself, looking in the mirror, questioning the stories you tell yourself, and asking whether there is any possibility at all that those stories are not true. She offers a practical framework drawn from her TEDx talk: identify your non-negotiable pillars. For Mariana, they are passion, potential, connection, and freedom. Every new relationship, project, or opportunity must pass through that filter. When it does not, the answer is no. Not from arrogance, but from alignment. Key Takeaway The only person who can give you permission to be yourself is you. Not the conference emcee, not the approval of people who contribute nothing to your life, not the external validation of titles and platforms that could vanish tomorrow. As Mariana puts it, we are the ones holding ourselves back from our highest potential. The more we shed what was never truly ours to carry, the easier it becomes to do the extraordinary things we were actually meant to do. Watch the full conversation on YouTube.

Hour 3: Silver & JD take a sound bite from Duane Kuiper's interview on Murph & Markus from earlier this morning to get back into Bryce Eldridge and his place (or lack thereof) in the Giants lineup. While May 11 is far too early to talk about a rebuild, and the musical chairs effect was bound to happen in calling up young prospects, the guys explain why Eldridge simply has to get at-bats if he's going to spend time in the major leagues. Marcus Thompson joins the show to revisit Steve Kerr's two-year extension to return to Golden State and the Warriors' needs in the upcoming NBA draft.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kevin Lanning: A Google Executive's Addiction | The Hopeaholics Podcast (RE-RELEASE)In this powerful episode of the The Hopeaholics Podcast, we sit down with Kevin Lanning, a former Google executive who shares the raw and deeply personal story of his battle with addiction, the pressures that came with success, and the painful reality of trying to maintain a high-level career while struggling internally. Kevin opens up about how substance abuse slowly took control of his life despite his professional accomplishments, leading him to moments of desperation, legal trouble, broken relationships, and ultimately a rock-bottom experience that forced him to confront the path he was on. He speaks candidly about the wake-up calls that pushed him toward sobriety, the recovery meetings and support systems that helped him rebuild his life, and the difficult process of learning how to live without substances after years of dependence. Now years into recovery, Kevin has dedicated his life to helping others through his podcast, Rise Above with Kevin Lanning, where he shares honest conversations and inspiring stories from people who have overcome addiction, trauma, and mental health struggles. This episode is filled with hard-earned wisdom, vulnerability, hope, and proof that no matter how far someone falls, transformation and healing are still possible.#thehopeaholics  #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #Hope #wedorecover #treatmentcenter #natalieevamarieJoin our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Go to www.Wolfpak.com today and support our sponsors.

Priya Basu, head of the Pandemic Fund (est. 2022, based at the World Bank), reflects on the Fund's origin and evolution. "It exists to solve problems no one else was solving." Its $1.4 B invested over three years in pandemic preparedness and response has attracted seven times that much from partner governments and multilateral development banks. Finances remain fragile and voluntary. The hope is to grow threefold. The Fund, a Biden signature achievement, enjoys continued support from the Trump administration.

In this powerful and practical conversation, I sat down with Addison Bevere to unpack one of the most common struggles in the Christian life: prayer. If you've ever felt like you're "bad at prayer," distracted, or unsure what to say, this episode meets you right there and gently reframes everything. You're Not the Only One Struggling Here's a surprising truth: Nearly 98% of Christians feel like they're bad at prayer Many compare themselves to others and feel inadequate The enemy uses that insecurity to isolate and discourage Addison shares that even growing up in a spiritually strong family, he felt like he didn't measure up. His journey into understanding prayer began from a place of deficiency, not mastery. Prayer Isn't Performance, It's Participation One of the biggest mindset shifts: Prayer is not a performance. It's not about saying the right words. It's not about praying long enough. Instead, prayer is: A relationship A posture of surrender A way of participating in what God is already doing "Prayer is not a religious exercise. It's how we participate in what is most real." This reframing alone can free you from pressure and invite you into something much deeper. The Real Problem: Self-Reliance Many of us approach prayer like this: "God, tell me what to do so I can go do it." But that mindset removes relationship. Instead of walking with God, we try to: Get answers Stay in control Avoid making mistakes This leads to: Anxiety Analysis paralysis Fear of doing the "wrong" thing But God's design is different. Faith Looks Like Movement A powerful biblical principle: "We will obey, and we will hear." (Exodus 24:7) In other words: You don't always get clarity first You take a step in faith Then God guides you along the way This removes the pressure of perfection and invites trust. God Is Not Waiting to Condemn You A core belief that needs to change: God is not looking for a reason to punish you. He is more invested in your life than you are. This matters because so many people: Avoid prayer out of shame Feel like they've already failed Believe God is distant or disappointed But Scripture tells a different story. "There is now no condemnation…" (Romans 8:1) Prayer is not where you're judged, it's where you're restored. Why Mornings Matter So Much One of the most practical takeaways is about how you start your day. Your brain is most receptive: Right when you wake up Before distractions take over But most people: Grab their phone within minutes Flood their mind with noise, stress, and comparison This shapes your entire day. Instead, consider: Staying off your phone for at least 30–60 minutes Sitting quietly with God Letting your mind and spirit settle This creates space to: Hear more clearly Receive rather than react Start from peace instead of pressure The Power of Stillness You don't need a perfect routine. Sometimes prayer looks like: Sitting quietly Lying still Letting thoughts surface Simply being aware of God's presence Even small moments of stillness can: Bring clarity Reveal truth Calm your mind A Simple Way to Start Praying If you don't know what to say, start here: 1. The Lord's Prayer (Slowly) Take it line by line: Reflect on each phrase Let it guide your thoughts Don't rush it 2. A Simple Prayer: "I Am Here" This three-word prayer is powerful: I am, I am present Here, I'm not in the past or future With God, I acknowledge His presence It centers you in: The moment The relationship The surrender Repentance Is a Gift Repentance isn't about shame, it's about freedom. It means: Turning away from self-reliance Returning to God Receiving grace again It's not a one-time event, it's a daily invitation. Prayer Changes How You Live As you grow in prayer, you'll notice: More clarity Less anxiety Greater awareness of God Increased sensitivity to others You begin to: Respond instead of react Listen instead of strive Walk with God instead of chasing answers Final Takeaway You don't need to: Be perfect Say the right words Have it all figured out You just need to: Slow down Show up Stay present Prayer isn't about doing more. It's about being with God. And that changes everything.

In this episode of The Growth Now Movement, I sit down with weight loss coach and entrepreneur Corinne Crabtree for one of the most honest conversations I've had around weight loss, emotional eating, food noise, and what it really takes to create lasting transformation. Corinne's story is powerful because it's not about a quick fix. She lost over 100 pounds, but more importantly, she completely changed her life by building what she calls a normal, sustainable lifestyle rooted in habits she could actually maintain forever. We talk about the breaking point that changed everything for her. Sitting on the couch, emotionally exhausted, telling her one-year-old son she was too tired to play. That moment became her wake-up call. And what's incredible is that her transformation didn't start with some massive overhaul. It started with one simple promise: walk for 15 minutes a day. That's it. This conversation dives deep into why so many people overcomplicate weight loss and why sustainable success often starts with doing one thing consistently. Corinne opens up about her lifelong battle with emotional eating, the constant mental chatter she calls food noise, and how childhood food insecurity, bullying, and emotional pain shaped her relationship with food long before she realized it. We unpack what food noise actually is, why it's so hard for people to silence, and how the solution isn't just willpower. It's emotional healing. She shares how learning to handle her inner critic with grace instead of shame changed everything, and why self-compassion is often more powerful than self-discipline. We also talk about how she turned her own transformation into a business back in 2007, starting on Weight Watchersmessage boards, accepting payments through PayPal, and eventually scaling into a massive coaching platform helping women around the world. Corinne also gives her perspective on GLP-1 medications and peptides, offering a balanced, honest take. She doesn't dismiss them, but she makes one thing clear: no tool can replace doing the emotional work necessary for long-term change. This episode is about more than losing weight. It's about identity, self-worth, healing, and finally creating a life you don't need to escape from. In This Episode You Will Learn • How Corinne lost 100 pounds through sustainable habits • Why "small forever changes" beat extreme dieting • The truth about emotional eating and food noise • How childhood experiences shape your relationship with food • Why self-compassion matters more than shame • How to quiet your inner critic • What food noise really is and how to reduce it • How Corinne built a business from her personal transformation • Her honest perspective on GLP-1s and peptides • Why emotional healing is essential for lasting weight loss • Daily habits that support success and balance

She grew up in a house where things didn't always feel quite right—small moments that were easy to brush off at the time, especially when nothing ever fully revealed itself.That changed when her grandmother came to stay during the final days of her life.There was a moment—brief, but clear—where everything shifted. It wasn't confusion, and it wasn't random. The way her grandmother reacted felt deliberate, like she was aware of something no one else could see… and knew exactly what it was.After that, being alone in the house felt different. Not threatening, not overwhelming—but never comfortable either. Just the constant sense that something might be there, just out of sight.Looking back, it raises a question that's hard to ignore: was that the first time something made itself known… or just the first time someone else noticed it too?#RealGhostStories #ShadowFigure #HauntedHouse #ParanormalExperience #SleepParalysis #GhostEncounter #FamilyStory #Unexplained #CreepyEncounters #SomethingInTheRoom Love real ghost stories?
