You know about breath work. You know about cold exposure. It's a thing all the major "influencers" tell you to do. I had some skepticism myself and that's why I wanted to have this man, the original cold exposure and breath work guy on himself, Wim Hof! He is a man who has redefined the limits of the human mind and body. Known globally as The Iceman, Wim Hof has shown millions of people how to take control of their physiology through breath, cold exposure, and mindset. From climbing mountains in nothing but shorts to teaching everyday men how to regulate stress, build resilience, and reconnect with their primal strength, Wim's work challenges everything we think we know about comfort, health, and human potential. Today, we're talking about cold, breath, discipline, and what it really means to return to our factory settings as men.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Chef Marcus Samuelsson. Interviewed centered around his book:

In Part 2 of my conversation with Henry Druce, we explore the shift from a demanding media career to a renewed, more personal relationship with skiing and storytelling. Henry talks openly about burnout, deadlines, and the moment he realised he no longer felt the spark that once drove his work — a turning point that led him to step away from traditional publishing and rediscover his love for the mountains. We also delve into his involvement with Snow Camp, his hosted trips, and the evolving challenges facing the snowsports industry today, from accessibility to generational change. A thoughtful, warm, and insightful episode revealing the human side of one of the UK's most respected ski journalists.Follow Henry on IG @HenryskierFind out more about snowcap here:www.Snow-camp.org.uk Book your next holiday with VIP Chaletswww.vip-chalets.comGet your first or next pair of ski boots sorted in the comfort of your home with Hike and Ridewww.hikeandride.co.uk _____In Part 2, Henry Druce returns to talk about the personal evolution behind his long career in snowsports media. While many imagine ski journalism as all glamour and powder days, Henry lifts the curtain on the pressure, deadlines, and constant output that defined much of his time in publishing. He shares candid reflections on the moment he realised he'd written the same kind of editor's letter dozens of times — a sign that the passion had dulled and a change was needed.Stepping back allowed Henry to find a more balanced, fulfilling relationship with skiing. Today he mixes freelance work, writing, and hosting ski trips, rediscovering the joy that first drew him to the sport.Henry also speaks passionately about his work with Snow Camp, a charity harnessing snowsports to support young people with life skills, mentoring, and mental wellbeing. Giving back has become an important part of his career's new chapter, including matched donations through his hosted trips.We explore the broader landscape of snowsports: misconceptions around skiing, the myth of heli-skiers “jumping out” of helicopters, the rising cost of participation, and the challenge of attracting new and more diverse audiences into the mountains. Henry raises important questions about representation in snowsports and whether the industry is doing enough to welcome the next generation.We also discuss 333 Random Acts of Kindness, a project Henry took on during the pandemic that grew into something far more meaningful, reminding him how much connection and kindness can shape a life.The episode closes with Henry's signature warmth and humour — from his love of flamboyant shirts to reflections on authenticity, fun, and the kind of legacy he hopes to leave.Key ThemesBurnout, reinvention, and rediscovering passionThe reality behind magazine publishingSnow Camp and giving back through snowsports333 Random Acts of KindnessHosted ski trips and a new chapter of workMisconceptions about skiingThe future of snowsports: cost, diversity, accessibilityNew ways people are discovering skiing (festivals, events)Legacy, fun, and being memorable for the right reasons

Beloved,In the constant noise of modern life, your soul's whispers often go unheard.Emails demand responses. Social media calls for attention. Family needs care. Work requires focus. Amidst it all, that quiet voice of inner wisdom - the one that knows your true path - fades into the background.This disconnection from your deepest self creates a sense of being adrift, even when you're busy and productive. You might achieve external goals while feeling increasingly distant from what truly matters to you.This is where the Soul Prayer feature of The Light Between Oracle app creates a sanctuary for reconnection.This feature guides you in a reflective journaling practice that begins with “My dear soul...” -Opening a direct channel to your inner wisdom. It's not about writing what you think you should say, but allowing your soul's voice to emerge without censorship or judgment.When you use the Soul Prayer feature:* You create space for your truth to emerge without the filter of expectations* You reconnect with the part of you that sees beyond current circumstances* You remember who you are beyond roles and responsibilitiesDuring this holiday season, when external demands are especially high, this feature offers a way to return to center and hear the guidance that's been waiting patiently within you.Take a moment today to ask: What has my soul been trying to tell me that I haven't been quiet enough to hear? Then open the app and let the Soul Prayer feature guide you into sacred conversation with your deepest self.Tomorrow, we'll explore the Poetic Insights feature, which offers creative inspiration that bypasses your logical mind and speaks directly to your heart.In soul connection,KassandraP.S. The answers you've been seeking outside yourself have been within you all along - Soul Prayer helps you remember how to listen. In the noise of modern life, your soul's whispers often go unheard. The Soul Prayer self inquiry in The Light Between Oracle creates a sanctuary for reconnection through reflective journaling. Beginning with “My dear soul...” it opens a direct channel to your inner wisdom that's been waiting patiently. Swap seats with Santa and CHOOSE to be in the drivers seat to self empowerment and next-era growth.

In this final episode of the Advent season Ruth and Marilyn discuss the unique spiritual invitations and soul work of the winter season. They touch on the inward journey of self-examination, processing grief, and embracing the transformation in life's dormancy. They conclude with a deep discussion on themes of letting go, living in the present, and the spiritual significance of endings and new beginnings. The episode also features a poignant poem by Robert Hayden and an Advent-themed prayer by Ted Loder.   Questions for Reflection: How would you name or characterize the season that you're in?  How can we be present in the season that we're in versus clinging to something else?  How  can we trust the letting go process of one season, letting go of one in order to embrace the next?    In this season of the Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership podcast, Ruth invites listeners to embark on a unique journey during Advent 2025. Departing from traditional liturgical approaches, we will focus on the overlap between the seasons of Advent and winter, inspired by Marilyn McIntyre's book 'Midwinter Light: Meditations for the Long Season.' Ruth will be joined all through Advent by Marilyn McIntyre, herself. Together they will explore themes such as inner reflection, the significance of silence, and the profound connections between spirituality and the physical season of winter.    Marilyn McEntyre is an author of over 20 books, including Caring for Words in a Culture of Lies (2021) and Speaking Peace in a Climate of Conflict (2020). Her book, What's in a Phrase? Pausing Where Scripture Gives You Pause won the Christianity Today book award in spirituality. Midwinter Light, reflections on poems for the “long season,” has just been released. A former professor, now writer, writing coach, speaker, and retreat leader, her deepest interests lie in connections between spirituality, language, healing earth, and each other. She teaches regularly for programs at Western Seminary, New College Berkeley, and the Oblate School of Theology.   Music Credit: Kingdom Come by Aaron Niequist Joseph's Prayer from Advent Music in Solitude   We're starting a Substack!

Welcome to another episode of Restoring the Soul with Michael John Cusick. In today's conversation, Michael is joined by Dr. J.R. Briggs, author of the book The Art of Asking Better Questions: Pursuing Stronger Relationships, Healthier Leadership and Deeper Faith. Together, they explore why the questions we ask—of God, ourselves, and each other—are so central to personal transformation, deep connection, and spiritual growth.Drawing from years of research, lived experience, and insights from both ancient and modern sources, J.R. Briggs unpacks how better questions (not just more of them) shape the quality of our lives and relationships. They dig into why vulnerability, humility, curiosity, and wisdom are essentials for good questions, and how great question-askers build trust, intimacy, and growth.The conversation is rich with practical tips, stories, and wisdom on becoming people who don't just demand answers, but who pursue lives oriented around questions of substance and consequence. Whether you're a leader, friend, partner, or simply someone seeking deeper relationships and faith, you'll walk away inspired to ask, listen, and connect in new ways.Support the showENGAGE THE RESTORING THE SOUL PODCAST:- Follow us on YouTube - Tweet us at @michaeljcusick and @PodcastRTS- Like us on Facebook- Follow us on Instagram & Twitter- Follow Michael on Twitter- Email us at info@restoringthesoul.com Thanks for listening!

Luke 2:8–16. In the Christmas story, God announces the arrival of Jesus not to the elite, but to shepherds, outsiders who lived nearby, but not in. Through them, we see the heart of God: good news for all people, especially those who feel forgotten, labeled, or pushed to the margins.  This Sunday, Pastor Brittany Smigielski shows us how Jesus enters the darkness, meets us on the outside, and invites us in. When we behold Christ, the Lamb of God and the Good Shepherd, our true identity is restored, our labels are broken, and our souls discover their worth in Him.

Welcome to Day 2758 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2758 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 103:1-6 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2758 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2758 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Wisdom-Trek: The Soul's Anthem – Remembering the Benefits of the King. Today, we step out of the shadows and into the brilliant sunlight of one of the most beloved majestic peaks in all of Scripture. We are beginning our trek through Psalm One Hundred Three, covering the opening stanza, verses one through six, in the New Living Translation. In our previous journey through Psalm One Hundred Two, the "Prayer of the Destitute," we walked through the valley of the shadow of death. We sat in the ashes with a man whose bones burned like coals and whose heart was withered like grass. We heard the groans of the "sons of death" and saw the universe wearing out like an old garment. It was a heavy, somber meditation on human frailty and the immutability of God. But today, the scene shifts dramatically. If Psalm One Hundred Two was the cry of the exile in the dungeon, Psalm One Hundred Three is the song of the prisoner set free. The gloom has lifted. The fever has broken. The garment of mourning has been exchanged for a crown of love. This psalm, attributed to David, is pure, distilled praise. There are no petitions here. There are no complaints. There is only a soul overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of God's grace. It is an internal dialogue where David commands his own spirit to wake up and remember. So, let us shake off the dust of the ruins and join David in this magnificent anthem of the redeemed soul. The first segment is: The Internal Command: Waking Up the Soul. Psalm One Hundred Three: verses one through two. Let all that I am praise the Lord; with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name.  Let all that I am praise the Lord; may I never forget the good things he does for me. David begins not by addressing God, nor by addressing the congregation, but by addressing himself. This is a powerful spiritual discipline: Self-Exhortation. "Let all that I am praise the Lord; with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name." The phrase "Let all that I am" is the translation of the Hebrew word nephesh (soul) combined with "all my innards" or "all my inmost parts." In the Ancient Israelite worldview, the nephesh wasn't just a ghostly spirit trapped in a body; it was the whole self—the throat, the appetite, the emotions, the will, and the vitality. David is commanding every organ, every cell, and every faculty of his being to mobilize for worship. There is to be no silent partner in his body. His mind, his memory, his liver, and his lungs must all align to bless Yahweh. He focuses specifically on God's "holy name." As we saw in Psalm Ninety-nine, the Name represents the reputation and the...

Send one way text to Rev Rachel This week, while I am away, I'm sharing a replay from the Recover Your Soul Bonus Podcast. Together, we explore one of the tender teachings from Al-Anon through the lens of Recover Your Soul, the quiet courage it takes to stop pretending you're fine and to gently return to yourself.Many of us learned to people-please as a way to stay safe. We tried to hold the family together, soften the edges for everyone else, and become whatever version of ourselves we thought was needed in the moment. And over time, that way of living can pull us farther and farther away from our own truth, our own voice, and even our own feelings.In this episode, we reflect on a beautiful reading from In All Our Affairs about “the obligation to be myself.” We look at what it means to slowly release the façade, to feel what you feel without managing the emotions of everyone around you, and to begin discovering who you truly are and not who you learned to be.Through my perspective in Recover Your Soul, we look at • why authenticity is part of spiritual awakening • how people-pleasing keeps us disconnected from our true selves • why detachment creates space for everyone's growth • the difference between being “nice” and being whole • how to honor your feelings without laying them on others • and what it means to walk through your life as the real youIf this conversation resonates with you, I invite you to subscribe on Apple Podcasts or become a member on Patreon, where you receive a new Recover Your Soul Bonus episode every week.

When Mary realized the power of the baby in her womb, she wrote a piece of poetry in admiration for God. She rejoiced because of who God was, and it was from the depths of her soul. He was the fulfillment of her deepest longings. When we truly desire God, we will never be unsatisfied. Luke 1:36-56

Johannes Zachhuber and Anna Marmodoro, eds., Gregory of Nyssa: On the Hexaemeron: Text, Translation, and Essays (Oxford UP, 2025) This book presents Gregory of Nyssa's On the Six Days of Creation (In Hexaemeron) as a specimen of Early Christian philosophy. It comprises Gregory of Nyssa's text in its Greek original accompanied by a new English translation, and seven accompanying essays by international specialists from diverse backgrounds. Each essay focuses on a section of the text and the arising philosophical issues. The essays complement each other in offering multiple perspectives on how Gregory's text may be approached philosophically and positioned in relation to other, more or less contiguous, philosophical theories, including the early Greeks Anaxagoras and Empedocles, Aristotle, and the Stoics. Rather than presenting a definite and exhaustive state of the art study of Gregory's text, this volume aims to open new pathways for research into In Hexaemeron.

We hear Silent Night every December and associate it with calm, candlelight, and comfort but the song was born in chaos, loss, and longing, not peace. In this message, we uncover the surprising history behind Silent Night and connect it to the story of Zechariah, a faithful priest whose long disappointment shaped what he believed was possible with God. Through seasons of silence, God doesn't remove unrest around us, He heals the unrest within us. This teaching reveals how peace is connected to belief, how disappointment can quietly erode our trust, and why praise must become our first response if we want lasting peace. If you've been faithful but restless, believing but tired, this message will call you back to a deeper trust and a quieter soul.

In this episode of Asked and Answered by Soul, Jennifer Urezzio sits down with trauma breakthrough coach, best-selling author, and psychologist Dr. Natalie Green to explore how to create a soul-centered strategy for healing trauma. Drawing from over 30 years of clinical and lived experience, Dr. Nat shares how trauma is stored not just in the mind, but in the nervous system and the soul itself. Together, they discuss the importance of reintegrating the head, heart, and gut, why talk therapy alone is often not enough, and how simple practices like body scans and nervous system regulation can begin restoring inner safety and freedom. This conversation invites listeners to see trauma not as a life sentence, but as a gateway to post-traumatic growth—where healing becomes possible through presence, embodiment, and soulful awareness. You can learn more about Dr. Nat at https://www.instagram.com/drnatgreen/https://drnataliegreen.com.au/ About Dr. Nat Dr Nat Green is a Trauma Breakthrough Coach, bestselling author, and podcast host of Growing Tall Poppies.

Season 17 - Licensed Episode S17-8-featuring Soul, Funk, Jazz, SmoothJazz, fusion, Disco and Chill.

The conservative movement is officially at war. This weekend at TPUSA's "AmericaFest" in Phoenix—the first since the tragic loss of Charlie Kirk—the tensions finally boiled over. Ben Shapiro took the stage to blast Tucker Carlson for "moral imbecility," while Tucker fired back at the "hall monitors" trying to deplatform him. Tom Pappert (The Tennessee Star) joins me to break down the most explosive weekend in the history of the movement and what it means for the 2026 midterms. Then, we look at the other "war" happening this week: The war on reality. A new report exposes that the Census Bureau is refusing to count $1.4 trillion in welfare payments as income. If they did, the poverty rate would drop from 10% to 1%. We are bankrupting the nation to solve a problem that—statistically—doesn't exist. Plus, the "Lightning" has struck out. Ford officially killed the F-150 Lightning this week, taking a $19.5 billion write-down. Jon Miltimore is here to explain why the free market just delivered the ultimate rebuke to the Green New Deal. And finally... whatever happened to the office Christmas party? We look at why HR departments killed the "bacchanal" and why Gen Z is the only generation trying to bring it back. Today's Show: Monologue: The "Sanitized" Society. From Christmas parties to poverty stats, we are being fed a fake version of reality. The $1.4 Trillion Lie: Breaking down the Phil Gramm & John Early report. Why a single mom earning $11k actually has more disposable income ($64k) than a starting teacher. Ford Surrenders: The F-150 Lightning is dead. Jon Miltimore on the dealer revolt, the aluminum fire, and the end of the EV mandate. Civil War in Phoenix: Tom Pappert takes us inside the room for the Shapiro vs. Carlson showdown. Who does the base side with?

*(Note Part One of this episode)New Moon Lunar Cycle Themes:  Expansion, Exploration, New Perspective through Wisdom, Spiritual Renewal. The conjunction of the Sun and Moon, “Dark Moon” part of the lunar cycle is powerful and focused as a portal toward immense changes on both a personal and collective level in 2026 This lunar cycle is especially impactful and meaningful because it is coupled with the winter Solstice in the Northern hemisphere, and the summer Solstice in the Southern hemisphere. The solstice energy is a messenger of truth, clarity and inner wisdom.  It places tremendous emphasis on relinquishing the past, while trusting in the possibilities of the future which are yet unseen and unknown. This Moon offers both inner focus, and the opportunity to experience worldly experiences through connection to Cosmic Source. Guidance through trusting intuitive insights, from the well of personal inspiration, is the key for moving toward greater and higher vibrational consciousness.During this lunar cycle, the awareness of growth, expansion, plenty, and abundance are under major consideration.  Even as we look out and observe the erroneous beliefs and falsehoods into the collective society, it's absolutely critical to dream one's own big dreams.  The sign of Sagittarius is about believing in your own  inner awareness and wisdom that connects with authentic understanding which supports dignity, respect, freedom and sovereignty for every person.This New Moon and  Solstice connections are placing emphasis on listening to yourself.  It is time to forge a personal path that does not rely on asking someone else what you “should” or need to do.  The New Moon offers opportunity to gather awareness of new intentions, while the solstice's "return to light" energy is a gateway for deeper self-realization.  Four Key Questions for 2026 DirectionWhat is your "Philosophy of Life"?How will you embrace your values and inspiration through intuitive awareness?How will you seek new meaning for yourself, as you envision experiences and possibilities that await you in the coming months?Are you willing to be the "Truth-teller", to be honest and open to the "Wisdom within yourself"?*Please enjoy Part Two of this episode:  "Sound Alchemy" with Kathy H.
