Podcasts about staying grounded

28th December 2025 - Dundalk. Ministered by Pastor Jason Cooney.

Country artist Chris Lane joins Brooke Taylor on The Upload for a candid, faith-filled conversation about the unexpected injuries, detours, and divine redirection that shaped his life long before music stardom. Chris opens up about tearing his ACL in high school—and again in college—an experience that sidelined his dreams of playing sports but sparked a life-changing relationship with the Lord. What felt like devastation at the time became the quiet space God used to draw him close, heal his heart, and prepare him for a future he couldn’t yet see. Now a husband, dad, and touring musician, Chris shares honestly about this new season where his time feels “wrecked”—changing diapers at home, performing on the road, and fighting to keep Jesus at the center of it all. He talks about the conviction he feels to carve out time with God, how fatherhood has deepened his understanding of Christ’s love, and how marriage wasn’t even on his radar until he met his wife, Lauren. Their shared faith became the foundation of their relationship—especially significant given Lauren’s upbringing in Portland, one of the least churched major cities in America. Chris also gets real about navigating fame in an industry that can inflate the ego. He talks about praying for humility, wanting success but not at the cost of his walk with Christ, and the ways God is teaching him patience in every area of life.

What do marriage, empathy, and the courage to face hard truths have in common? In this Best Of episode of Joy Found Here, Stephanie revisits two standout conversations that continue to strike a chord. Relationship therapist Dr. Becky Whetstone rethinks how we approach conflict and the moment we consider walking away, while empath and hypnotherapist Karen Blaine shows why sensitivity can be a powerful inner compass. Together, their insights offer a grounded guide for navigating the messy, meaningful work of being human—in our relationships and within ourselves.In This Episode, You Will Learn:(00:12) Best Of: Two Conversations That Still Echo(03:05) Becky's Unlikely Road to Relationship Work(05:10) The Crisis That Changed Everything for Becky(06:45) Why Many Couples Call It Quits Too Soon(08:57) The Truth Behind “We Can't Communicate”(11:59) The Damage of Felony Words in Conflict(14:15) Karen's Journey From “Too Sensitive” to Empowered(16:02) What Being an Empath Really Means(18:42) Boundaries and Reframing for Emotional Balance(21:22) Staying Grounded in an Overloaded WorldDr. Becky Whetstone is a relationship therapist, author, and former journalist who helps couples move through marriage crises with clarity and compassion. After seeing how unmanaged conflict leads to unnecessary divorce, she set out to teach partners how to communicate safely, regulate their nervous systems, and make grounded, emotionally mature choices. In this Best Of conversation, Becky explains why resentment often grows in silence, how “felony words” create lasting damage, and why you shouldn't end a marriage before understanding what can still be healed. Her reminder is simple: love is a skill, and with the right tools, even the hardest moments can become turning points instead of endings.Karen Blaine is an empath and hypnotherapist who guides highly sensitive people to honor their emotional depth rather than hide it. After growing up feeling “too sensitive,” she learned to see her intuition and attunement as strengths that help her connect meaningfully with others and the world around her. In this revisited conversation, Karen shares how empaths can stay grounded through boundaries, reframing, and quick reset rituals—especially in an overwhelming, information-heavy world. Her tools help listeners recognize when they're absorbing too much and return to center with clarity. Her message: sensitivity isn't a flaw, but a powerful strength when used with intention.Connect with Dr Becky Whetstone:WebsiteFacebookInstagramLinkedInXYouTubeBlogGet Becky's book!Connect with Karen Blaine:WebsiteInstagramLinkedInFacebookXYouTubeTikTokLet's Connect:WebsiteInstagram Hosted on Acast.

In this sermon launching the "Staying Grounded" series, Karl Ihfe addresses the frustration we all feel when life doesn't go according to our timeline. Drawing from personal experiences with flight delays, he transitions to the deeper question of life delays - those seasons when relationships, jobs, or circumstances don't unfold as expected. Karl asks a pivotal question: "What if God isn't being late? He's just being patient. And we're struggling with impatience." The heart of the message centers on Moses' story from Exodus 3, particularly the 40 years Moses spent in the wilderness after fleeing Egypt. Karl points out that Moses went "from prince to pasture, from influence to anonymity" during this extended delay. Yet it was precisely in this ordinary moment - tending sheep in the desert - that God appeared in the burning bush and revealed Moses' calling to deliver Israel. Karl emphasizes that God waited for Moses' attention before speaking, suggesting that many of us might be missing God's voice because we're too busy rushing through our delays. The sermon concludes with an encouragement to embrace the pause, pay attention to our "burning bush" moments, and trust that God uses delays not to punish us but to prepare us for what He has planned next. https://bwaychurch.org

Actress Tara Reid joins hosts Neil Haley and Caregiver Dave Nissani for an intimate conversation about her remarkable journey in Hollywood. Reid, best known for her iconic roles in American Pie, The Big Lebowski, and the Sharknado franchise, opens up about the foundation of her success—her parents, who were both teachers and ran the Donna Reed's Child Development Center. She reveals a personal detail that even Google gets wrong: her middle name is actually Darlene, not Donna, a combination of her grandmothers' names Darcy and Eileen.The conversation takes a nostalgic turn as Reid reminisces about attending Professional Children's School (PCH) in New York alongside future stars like Sarah Michelle Gellar, Christina Ricci, and Macaulay Culkin. She shares amusing stories about how students would skip tests by claiming they had auditions, with classmates staying behind to gather information for the next day. Reid's big break came unexpectedly when she was cast in The Big Lebowski at age 22, though she had been working as a child actress long before that, starting with her first role in a Stephen King adaptation after being discovered by a talent manager in a New Jersey food court.Reid discusses the phenomenon of American Pie, admitting she never anticipated it would become such a cult classic that she wouldn't need to audition again for the rest of her career. With nearly 100 films under her belt, she reflects on how the franchise changed her life and led to a three-picture deal with Universal. The actress also touches on the unexpected success of Sharknado, which introduced her to a whole new generation of young fans who couldn't watch her earlier work.Throughout the interview, Reid displays the grounded personality she credits to her upbringing, discussing her psychic abilities and intuitive gift for reading people—traits she says run in her father's family. Currently residing in Arizona among the red rocks, she speaks about feeling connected to nature and using her intuition to guide both her personal and professional decisions. She remains close with her fan base through social media platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and Cameo, where she maintains genuine connections with supporters.

In this episode of Uncommon Sense, I'm discussing my changing views on Israel, Donald Trump, and Candace Owens and why principles grounded in Scripture must always matter more than personalities.I'll discuss how easy it is to get swept up in political figures, influencers, and movements… all while forgetting that God alone is who we should be following. The devil is just like a stalker prowling around, watching, scheming, seeking someone to devour. And in these chaotic times, he's using deception, manipulation, and emotional brainwashing to pull people into confusion and ultimately into Hell.In this episode, we're talking about how the synagogue of Satan is operating openly today, pushing narratives meant to distract and divide. I am urging my listeners to stay anchored in the Word, remain spiritually alert, and refuse to be seduced by personalities, platforms, or “conservative celebrities” who very well may not be aligned with God's truth.Ultimately, we all need to return to the Bible (now more than ever) and to guard our minds and souls as the days grow darker and darker.--https://www.bible.com/

What part of your life feels unclear right now? What direction do you secretly wish you could choose? Today, Jay is joined by astrologer and author Chani Nicholas for a deeper look at astrology beyond the pop-culture stereotypes. Chani traces astrology back to its ancient roots, describing it as a timeless tool for understanding our place in the world and the inner forces that shape us. Together, she and Jay break down the basics: birth charts, rising signs, the sun and the moon, and how each piece reveals something about our drive, our emotional needs, and the natural rhythms that shape our lives. The conversation deepens as Jay and Chani explore purpose, growth, and personal agency. Chani explains that astrology isn’t about predicting your future, it’s about noticing your patterns, understanding yourself, and making choices with more awareness. She shares her own stories about finding her calling, meeting her partner, and the ways astrology can reaffirm the truth people already sense within themselves. Together, they unpack common misconceptions about compatibility, Mercury retrograde, and so-called “bad signs,” offering a more compassionate, practical way to work with timing without giving up responsibility for your life. In this interview, you'll learn: How to Use Astrology to Find Your Purpose How to Work With Your Saturn Return How to Navigate Tough Life Cycles With Awareness How to Use Astrology to Choose the Right Moment How to Strengthen Self-Agency Through Astrology How to Release a Difficult Year and Reset Intentionally As you move forward, remember that life isn’t asking you to have everything figured out, it’s simply asking you to stay curious, stay honest, and stay connected to what feels true within you. The cycles you’re experiencing aren’t setbacks; they’re invitations to pause, reflect, and realign with the life you know you’re capable of living.

In this episode, we cover: - How K and her family went from homesteading on the east coast to making a permanent move to Alaska after an off-grid summer experiment in 2023 - The surprising challenges of finding affordable, livable land in Alaska and how a podcast connection led them to the small cabin they now call home - What life looks like for their family of nine in a 1,300-square-foot off-grid cabin— setting up solar power, ordering water, and using a composting toilet system - How they manage the daily needs of a large family like refrigeration, cooking, laundry, and dishes without modern conveniences - Why K actually feels less busy now than she did on their 100-acre Pennsylvania farm, and how this slower season is giving her space to refocus on homeschooling and homemaking - Their long-term homestead goals, from installing a wood cookstove to possibly adding pigs, chickens, or even a small dairy animal down the road - The mindset shift that helped her adapt when the move first felt overwhelming— acknowledging the chaos, starting small, and putting one foot in front of the other - How living simply has transformed her relationship with possessions and space, from ruthless decluttering to letting go of “someday” storage bins - Adapting to Alaska's unique realities: high costs, long drives, and dramatic shifts between endless summer light and dark winter days - K's practical advice for beginner homesteaders: start with chickens, understand the true workload of dairy animals, and grow slowly - Honest reflections on staying grounded through uncertainty, choosing gratitude, and trusting that every hard transition builds resilience View full show notes on the blog + watch this episode on YouTube.

You know that feeling when you look around at the news, your job, your relationships, and everything feels a little out of control? Like no matter what you do, it's never enough to really make a difference? I get it. So many of us are carrying that quiet sense of powerlessness right now. But here's the thing: you have more influence than you realize. You've just never been shown how to use it. In this episode, I'm talking with Cynthia Rivard, business strategist, and author of A New Breed of Leader, about what it truly means to become influential.

We're getting into influential leadership as a way of life - how to lead from within, ripple change outward, and shift from helplessness to hope through small, intentional action.

In this continuation of the Building Better Developers interview series, Kevin Adelsberger—owner of Adelsberger Marketing—returns to explore how businesses can refine their identity and message once the foundation is set. This episode focuses on branding and marketing fundamentals, uncovering what really drives connection, credibility, and growth. “Thinking about your brand and overall messaging is more important than color or font,” Kevin explains. “If your brand feels disconnected, no color will fix that.” The conversation moves beyond logos and design to the deeper work of communicating who you are and what you stand for—authentically and consistently. Branding: More Than Color and Fonts While many companies spend hours perfecting color palettes, Kevin challenges that mindset. He believes color psychology is largely a myth, with few industries where color directly affects success. Instead, businesses should focus on how their messaging and visuals align. Fonts, he adds, do have power. The right typeface can instantly signal tone—formal, playful, or high-tech—but only when used intentionally. “If you want to be a fun, crazy brand and your visuals feel stiff, no amount of color will fix the disconnect.” A strong brand reflects alignment: visuals, tone, and message working together to create trust and recognition. Keep Your Message Steady, but Your Website Fresh Kevin offers a balanced approach to maintaining your digital presence. Instead of obsessing over analytics or daily edits, he recommends structured consistency: Review your website monthly or quarterly for updates or broken features. Keep messaging steady, but stay alert for functionality issues like broken forms or outdated information. Focus on inbound marketing—making sure your brand is ready when customers come looking—then turn attention to outbound efforts like networking and content creation. “Most people never look at their website after it launches—that's a bigger problem than over-tweaking it.” Once your brand identity and message are established, spend more time sharing your expertise rather than endlessly adjusting pixels. Marketing Fundamentals for Beginners For entrepreneurs and small business owners who feel lost, Kevin recommends a few key resources to master branding and marketing fundamentals: Building a StoryBrand by Donald Miller — Understand how clear messaging connects you with customers. EntreLeadership by Dave Ramsey — Learn business and marketing principles from a leadership perspective. The Four Conversations by Blair Enns — Explore how to sell through consultative, relationship-driven discussions. Kevin also emphasizes simple, actionable steps: Define your competitive advantages and what makes you different. Create a one-liner that captures who you help and how. Avoid generic stock photos—real people and stories build trust. Feature your leadership team online; authenticity builds credibility. Learn from Competitors—Ethically Healthy competition can inspire innovation. Kevin encourages learning from peers and even collaborating with them. He participates in groups like the Bureau of Digital, a network of agency owners who share ideas without direct competition. “Artists steal,” Kevin jokes, “but the goal is to make other people's ideas better, not to copy them.” For those in established industries, he suggests finding professional or ownership groups—places where you can share, learn, and grow together. AI's Impact on Marketing and Creativity The conversation inevitably turns to artificial intelligence. Kevin views AI as both a tool and a threat—a resource that democratizes creativity while also reshaping industries. He points out the uncertainty around copyright, authenticity, and ethics, but admits that ignoring AI isn't an option. His team meets weekly to test new tools and evaluate where they can help. “We use AI to assist us, not replace us,” Kevin says. “It helps us work faster, but not everything it creates is ready for prime time.” From generating first-draft website content to creating AI voiceovers when budgets are tight, Kevin shows how these tools can fill gaps—without losing the human touch. Staying Grounded in a Changing Landscape Despite new technologies and shifting trends, Kevin's message remains timeless: strong branding is built on clarity, consistency, and authenticity. As the conversation wraps up, he reminds listeners that tools may evolve, but trust remains the core of every successful brand. “Stay human, stay honest, and keep refining your foundation.” A Little Background Kevin Adelsberger is the founder of Adelsberger Marketing, where they create work that grows their clients' businesses, in a culture that values their team and the Jackson, Tennessee, community.

In 2019, Adelsberger Marketing sold partial ownership to Alexander, Thompson, and Arnold, CPAs. In 2020, Union University recognized Kevin with the Distinguished Achievement in Arts and Media award.  Kevin currently serves on advisory committees for Leadership Tennessee and Jackson State Community College and is a board member for theCO in Jackson, Tennessee.  He also hosts a podcast about business in West Tennessee called 40×45.  Kevin lives in Jackson with his wife and business partner, Renae, and their two children.

What does choosing joy really mean when you’re living through pain, pressure, or exhaustion? In this deeply personal solo episode, Choosing Joy host Deborah Joy Winans Williams sits down—not as an actress or celebrity, but as herself—to answer your questions, share her heart, and reflect on what joy looks like when it’s uncomfortable, spiritual, and hard-won. Deborah opens up about motherhood, mental health, faith, grief, self-worth, and how she learned (and is still learning) to choose joy daily—not just on stage, but in real life. From the lessons of her Winans family legacy to her girls' trip epiphany with Merle Dandridge to the quiet prayers that sustain her, this episode is a soulful, grounding invitation to go deeper. Whether you’re a woman of faith, an artist in progress, a mother in motion, or just someone trying to pour from a not-so-full cup—Deborah’s raw honesty and wisdom remind us that joy isn’t a mood... it’s a decision.
