"We are starved for clear headlines," says Kevin Hincks regarding the macroeconomic picture. He says it's hard to find a clear roadmap on peace talks between the U.S. and Iran, though crude oil's slight pullback Tuesday offers some reprieve, as does the ample supply he says the U.S. has access to. In equities, Kevin explains why Alphabet's (GOOGL) decision to raise $80 billion from stock sales is so interesting. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/ About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Are we facing a medical crisis, or a movement crisis? In the final part of our conversation with David Bidler, founder of nonprofit Physiology First, we tackle the controversial intersection of physiology and the ADHD epidemic. We investigate the dark history of ADHD, the science of brain breaks, and the three distinct speeds of dopamine metabolization that define how every individual learns. This episode is a call to action to stop pathologizing the human body and start understanding its requirements. If you want to unlock your child's focus, you have to start by feeding their movement.

Hey Heal Squad! Today is one of those conversations where the sun is finally going to make a lot of sense. We're sitting down with Dr. Roger Seheult, a quadruple board-certified physician and the co-founder of MedCram, a platform that's helped millions understand complex medical topics in such an easy way. And that's exactly what happens in this episode! Dr. Seheult explains why our bodies are designed to run on light cues, how modern life is disrupting our natural circadian rhythm, and why so many of us are struggling with sleep… but more importantly, what we can actually do about it.We talk about simple shifts like getting morning sunlight as soon as you wake up, dimming lights and limiting screens at night, and creating a real wind-down routine so your body knows it's safe to sleep. He shares how even small changes (like stepping outside during the day or reducing bright light after sunset) can start to reset your rhythm almost immediately. He also introduces something the Heal Squad has never heard before: the NEWSTART philosophy. These are 8 simple rules for health ...Nutrition, Exercise, Water, Sunlight, Temperance, Air, Rest, and Trust…that you can start layering into your life one by one. And yes… we even go deeper into why spirituality, trust, and letting go can actually impact your physical health more than you think. Get ready for a lot of aha moments, Heal Squad…we're so excited for you to hear this one. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS NEWSTART is your health blueprint: Real healing isn't complicated, it's foundational. Nutrition, Exercise, Water, Sunlight, Temperance, Air, Rest, and Trust all work together to strengthen the body.  Sunlight is not optional, it's essential: It's not just about vitamin D. Sunlight is a full-spectrum signal that tells your body how to function, impacting your energy, mood, immune system, and even long-term disease risk. Sleep is when your body does the real work: Your body repairs, detoxifies, and resets while you sleep, but only if your circadian rhythm is aligned. The right light during the day and less light at night is what makes deep, restorative sleep possible.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for March 18, 2026 is: jejune • jih-JOON • adjective Jejune is a formal word that means "uninteresting" or "boring." It is also used as a synonym of juvenile to describe things (such as behaviors, attitudes, etc.) that are immature, childish, or simplistic. // The movie adaptation employed surreal visual effects to tell the story, making the plot, jejune in the novel, archetypal rather than artless. // The professor made rude and jejune remarks about the students' artwork. See the entry > Examples: "While [author Helen] Garner has journaled most of her life, she burned her early diaries in a bonfire having deemed them too embarrassing or jejune." — The Irish Times, 29 Mar. 2025 Did you know? Starved for excitement? You won't get it from something jejune. The term comes to us from the Latin word jejunus, which means "empty of food," "hungry," or "meager." When English speakers first used jejune back in the 1600s, they applied it in ways that mirrored the meaning of its Latin parent, lamenting "jejune appetites" and "jejune morsels." Something that is meager rarely satisfies, and before long jejune was being used not only for meager meals or hunger, but also for things lacking in intellectual or emotional substance. It's possible that the word gained its now-popular "juvenile" or "childish" sense when people confused it with the look-alike French word jeune, which means "young."

Do you ever find yourself longing for deeper human connection, yet unsure how to actually make it happen? So many people are trying to overcome loneliness while craving friendships that genuinely support their happiness, well-being, and the desire to grow and heal. In this episode, we explore what strengthens your social wellness - from simple practices that help you reconnect with yourself to meaningful experiences that help you feel happier. My guest today is Julia Hotz, a solutions-focused journalist and award-winning author of The Connection Cure. Julia has spent years studying why loneliness is so widespread, what it does to our bodies and minds, and why meaningful relationships feel harder to build than ever. Today, we discuss social prescribing - an emerging practice where doctors and therapists “prescribe” activities like art classes, forest walks, or book clubs based on what matters to you most. These aren't hobbies for the sake of hobbies; they're structured ways of reconnecting with joy, identity, and people who help you feel more like yourself. Julia shares powerful stories, including Glenn, a 92-year-old veteran who went from weeks of silence to a real friendship, and Jonas, who lives with social anxiety and found that culture, music, and stories were his bridge back to connection. We talk about why meaningful relationships aren't just about companionship but self-expansion, helping you understand who you are through the people you connect with. We also explore the internal obstacles that make it harder to overcome loneliness: time constraints, social anxiety, and the awkwardness many people still feel after years of disrupted connection. Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Why social connection and strong relationships boost health and happiness 00:40 Introducing Julia Hotz and The Connection Cure 01:11 How the UK's minister of loneliness sparked social prescribing 06:47 What loneliness really is and how it impacts your brain and body 10:26 Self-expansion: how deep relationships help you know yourself 12:28 Rebuilding community: from Bowling Alone to modern social prescribing 14:21 Glenn and Ryan's story: loneliness to friendship at age 92 18:05 Social anxiety and culture “vitamins”: easier ways to meet people 23:20 How people connect differently: activities, intimacy, and friendship 26:18 Flipping “What's wrong with me?” to “What matters to me?” 31:14 Why 20 minutes in nature can reset your mind and attention 38:35 How to “prescribe yourself” connection and build a values-based social life If something in this episode resonates and you're thinking, “I don't want to feel this alone anymore,” we would love to support you. At Growing Self, you can schedule a free consultation to get connected with a therapist or coach on my team who truly understands what it takes to overcome loneliness and build meaningful human connection. You'll be able to chat with someone who can walk alongside you as you strengthen your social wellness, rebuild friendships, and feel happier. Schedule a free consultation today. You are worthy of relationships where you feel seen, chosen, and emotionally safe. You don't have to figure this out alone.

In a world where adults avoid risk, children grow up on screens instead of playgrounds, and workplaces drift toward loneliness, Ben Swire argues that what we're really missing is experiential connection. In this conversation with Ginny, Ben—an introvert who once dreaded team-building—shares how “safe danger” transformed both his life and his work. From IDEO's culture of curiosity to biweekly “creative play dates,” he explains why people blossom when they're given space to try, fail, try again, and be seen. Together, Ben and Ginny explore how joy, optimism, vulnerability, and play aren't personality traits but skills that grow only through experience. They talk about the crush of conformity, the epidemic of loneliness, and why pessimism is really fear in disguise. You'll walk away with practical ideas for your home, workplace, or classroom. This is an episode that gently reminds us: people don't just want fun, or comfort, or entertainment. They want to grow. They want to belong. Most of all, they want connection.

A tragic case has emerged involving an 11-year-old girl from Connecticut, who was reportedly deprived of food for two weeks leading up to her death last year and frequently restrained with zip ties, according to police reports.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jessica Harmes and her live-in boyfriend, Daniel Fivas, each face one count of child torture in Salt Lake County, Utah. The charge stems from allegations the couple neglected Fivas' biological, five-year-old daughter. West Valley Police said the little girl weighed as much as a 16-month-old child when Fivas took her to the hospital on August 30. Police said the girl cannot talk and hasn't been in school. A probable cause affidavit said Fivas accused the girl of stealing food and resented her so they locked the refrigerator and trash to keep her from eating.

In this episode of the podcast, we explore the concept of "time affluence", which is the mindset of having enough time for what matters most. Did you know rushing and multitasking create time scarcity? I share personal experiences and practical strategies, such as slowing down, redefining productivity, and protecting unscheduled moments, to help you reclaim your time, reduce stress, and experience greater happiness and fulfillment.Protecting your "white space" or unscheduled time can dramatically improve your sense of time affluence. Leaving buffer zones between tasks allows you to adapt to life's curveballs and can become moments of micro self-care. This space signals to your brain that you have enough time, reducing stress and enhancing your overall well-being. Want to start changing the way you interact with time?

Do Seattle Mariners fans have it worse than anyone? What about the Lions, Jets, or Bills?

Many communities face an uneven food landscape: plenty of cheap junk food, but few places to buy fresh, healthy food. This pattern—often called “food apartheid”—doesn't happen by accident; it grows from redlining, unfair rules, and corporate control. The impacts are steep: higher rates of type 2 diabetes, kidney failure, and learning problems in Black, Latino, and Indigenous communities, along with unsafe conditions for farmworkers. These harms have a long history, and government subsidies and convincing marketing keep ultraprocessed foods on top. However, we take practical steps to make change including investing in regenerative and community farms, protecting and fairly paying farmworkers, and enforcing civil-rights laws so public dollars support real food, healthy soil, and communities that thrive. In this episode, Leah Penniman, Dr. Rupa Marya, Raj Patel, Karen Washington, and I discuss why food injustices exist and how we can create regenerative food systems to serve everyone. Leah Penniman is a Black Kreyol educator, farmer/peyizan, author, and food justice activist from Soul Fire Farm in Grafton, NY. She co-founded Soul Fire Farm in 2010 with the mission to end racism in the food system and reclaim our ancestral connection to land. As co-Executive Director, Leah is part of a team that facilitates powerful food sovereignty programs - including farmer training for Black & Brown people, a subsidized farm food distribution program for communities living under food apartheid, and domestic and international organizing toward equity in the food system. Leah has been farming since 1996, holds an MA in Education and a BA in Environmental Science from Clark University, and is a Manye (Queen Mother) in Vodun.  Dr. Rupa Marya is a physician, activist, mother, and composer. She is an Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco where she practices and teaches Internal Medicine. Her research examines the health impacts of social systems, from agriculture to policing. She is a co-founder of the Do No Harm Coalition, a collective of health workers committed to addressing disease through structural change. At the invitation of Lakota health leaders, she is currently helping to set up the Mni Wiconi Health Clinic and Farm at Standing Rock in order to decolonize medicine and food.  Raj Patel is a Research Professor at the University of Texas at Austin's Lyndon B Johnson School of Public Affairs, a professor in the University's department of nutrition, and a Research Associate at Rhodes University, South Africa. He is the author of Stuffed and Starved, the New York Times bestselling The Value of Nothing, co-author of A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things. A James Beard Leadership Award winner, he is the co-director of the award-winning documentary about climate change and the food system, The Ants & The Grasshopper.  Karen is a farmer, activist, and food advocate. She is the Co-owner and Farmer at Rise & Root Farm in Chester, New York. In 2010, Karen Co-Founded Black Urban Growers (BUGS), an organization supporting growers in both urban and rural settings.

Send us a textA contract to feed a frontier post shouldn't have ended at a river cave, but the Pecos has a way of bending plans. We head out with Oliver Loving and W.J. Wilson on a night-run mission to Fort Sumner that turns into a standoff against a swelling war party, where ground, grit, and a few feet of brush decide the line between life and legend. When a parley sign flickers on the plains and a hidden shot rips through Loving's wrist and side, the story snaps from strategy to survival, and the cave on the bluff becomes a cramped theater where fear, fever, and resolve fight for the lead.From there, the path forks. Wilson crawls into the night to fetch river water in his boots, then makes the hardest choice a partner can make: leave a wounded friend to swim for help. He slips down the Pecos past a mounted sentinel, abandons his rifle to the sandy current, and staggers barefoot across a country of thorns with a scavenged TP pole, waking to wolves every time sleep threatens. Starved and sunburned, he reaches the trail and flags down Charles Goodnight, who pieces together the fight from Wilson's rough map and rides back to recover what the river didn't take—including Loving's Henry rifle.Loving's path is its own test of will. He crawls out after days, arm shattered, side wound mending, and survives on the last oils of roasted leather gloves before striking a deal with Mexican farmers to haul him to Fort Sumner. Army surgeons battle infection, a late amputation becomes the final gamble, and a quiet agreement is sealed between partners: debts will be paid, promises kept. When Loving dies that September, Goodnight carries the work for two years and brings his friend home 700 miles to Weatherford, Texas—closing a loop the plains tried to cut in half.If you're drawn to true frontier history, cattle trail lore, and the human code that held partnerships together when the land tore everything else apart, press play and ride with us.

Never short sell an immeasurably more God.Never underestimate the power of a simple prayer offered on behalf of a complex situation.Never dismiss the impact of obedience (disobedience).Never be afraid of the repercussions of telling the truth in love. One of those repercussions is freedom.When in the dark always ask for more of God. You need Him more than answers, advice or direction.Change always requires change.A desire for change is common, actual change is elusive. Spiritual change always has spiritual opposition. Newton's Law of Motion #1 An object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction, unless acted upon by a net external force. Application: People tend to stay in the same spiritual and physical spot until the pain of staying exceeds the “pain” required in changing. On the positive side, spiritual momentum is also difficult to stop.Newton's Law of Motion #2 The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. Application: Surrender/Repentance is a powerful force and spiritual change requires it.Fallen man is not simply an imperfect creature who needs improvement: he is a rebel who must lay down his arms. C.S. Lewis.Newton's Law of Motion #3 For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Application: We pose the greatest threat to Satan's kingdom when we gain spiritual strength, a spiritual family and spiritual momentum. Salvation is the act of freedom and life. Sotiera & Sozo = Deliverance, rescue, freedom, wholeness. Acts 4:8-13 (NIV) 8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: “Rulers and elders of the people! 9 If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a man who was lame and are being asked how he was healed, 10 then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed. 11 Jesus is “‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.'(Psalm 118:22) 12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”13 When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.Salvation being found in no one else other than Jesus, is a non-starter in a relative truth culture. Salvation is the most inclusive offer known to mankind. Salvation has no racial, gender, political, economic or geographic or educational qualifications. BUT salvation has only one gate – Jesus. Sin is a separator, Jesus is a connector. John 3:16 (NIV) 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Part of Satan's deception around salvation is, you don't deserve this and you will be rejected.Justification is a legal action of setting right. Romans 10:9,10 (NIV) 9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.With our repentance, surrender and confession, we are cleansed (saved) of all of our sins and the sin barrier between us and God is gone – this is a loving fatherly act. God now declares us justified – in right legal standing, penalty of our sin paid, free! This is His Just Judge “side” of God. Love can't exist without challenge. Salvation = Changed Relationship Justification = Changed StatusSanctification is the act of setting apart. The Hebrew root for sanctification means “set apart” and “brightness”. The difference between salvation, justification and sanctification is we play a more integrated role in our sanctification. While God does all three, sanctification is an ongoing process that requires our cooperation and continual surrender. Sanctification is an ongoing process of change. 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8 (NIV) As for other matters, brothers and sisters, we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more. 2 For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus. 3 It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; 4 that each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable, 5 not in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God; 6 and that in this matter no one should wrong or take advantage of a brother or sister. The Lord will punish all those who commit such sins, as we told you and warned you before. 7 For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. 8 Therefore, anyone who rejects this instruction does not reject a human being but God, the very God who gives you his Holy Spirit.“how to live” points to an ongoing process. “more and more” is an ongoing advancement. Romans 7 & 8 deserves a slow readSalvation = Changed Relationship. Justification = Changed Status. Sanctification = Changed LivingRomans 12:1-2 (NIV) Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.The Process of Change…Respond in offering yourself in worship. Offer your whole selfThe more you hold onto yourself, the less you can hold onto God.Stop the conforming. Stopping Starves. Starved things die. Reject cultures attempt to squeeze you into their mold.Start the transforming. The fuel of spiritual transformation is spiritual mind renewal. The Word challenges and changes your thinking. The Truth of God's word is the only force strong enough for transformation. The best case for change is to hear/see and offer testimonies of change. Revelation 12:11(NIV) They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. Let's celebrate some triumphing with some testimony. John 11:43b-44 (NIV) 43 When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” 44 The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.”To exit death, you have to respond to Jesus' call to life. Once alive, ditch the dead stuff. Undeniable life comes with unavoidable backlash. Life QuestionsIs Jesus calling you out of a grave, today? Come forth!What dead stuff do you need to ditch? Ask for help and participate in stripping off the dead stuff that doesn't match the living God.Don't be afraid to live the life of Christ in dead circles. Everybody needs this life.

This weekend, Hamas released a haunting video of 24-year-old Evyatar David, an Israeli hostage abducted from the Nova Music Festival during the Oct. 7 attacks. In the video, David appears so emaciated and pale that his father said he didn’t recognize him. David's family is pleading for urgent international intervention. Geoff Bennett discussed more with Matan Eshet, a cousin of Evyatar David. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders

This week, we're diving into something that seems simple but holds a lot of power in your relationship: touch. Whether it's a lingering hug, a soft shoulder squeeze, or just holding hands while watching Netflix — physical touch is one of the most important (and underrated) ways to build connection, intimacy, and trust. But if you've found yourselves touching less — or if touch feels off somehow — you're not alone. We asked our audience, and: 47% said they want more touch 37% said they want better touch In this episode, we're breaking down why touch is so essential — and why so many couples stop doing it. (Spoiler: it's not just about sex.) Plus, we're giving you practical tools and one super simple free exercise (takes 5 minutes) to start reconnecting through touch today.

Why are incarcerated people dying from lack of food or water, even as private companies are paid millions for their care?

In a culture that preaches tolerance (unless you're a Christian), how do we hold fast to our convictions without shrinking back? In today's episode, Lindsey Maestas unpacks the truth that the Gospel is offensive...and that's exactly why it saves. We're in a world facing a mental health crisis, a loneliness epidemic, and a deep spiritual emptiness. People are desperately searching for meaning, and yet, the one truth that could set them free is often silenced in the name of comfort or people-pleasing. Lindsey explores what it means to live boldly and compassionately, asking: What if we had said something? What if we had shown up before they spiraled? What if one hard conversation could have kept someone from self-harm or hopelessness? We can't live in the “what ifs.” The Gospel is meant to be shared; we were never called to water it down for our comfort. If we say we believe it, our actions have to reflect the truth we claim. But if we're speaking truth, our lives must follow the calling found in Scripture. You'll hear: Why the Gospel will always offend culture...and why that's good news. How our silence can cost someone their soul. What it means to live boldly in a post-Christian world. A reminder that truth without love is harsh, but love without truth is hollow.
