Podcasts about Surrender

It’s possible to believe in God and still try to keep distance from Him. Sometimes we don’t call it “running”—we call it independence, freedom, or needing space. But this devotional is honest about what running can look like: changing locations, changing environments, changing relationships, and hoping that if we get far enough away, we won’t feel the conviction, the questions, or the call of God. Yet the message is simple and comforting: God doesn’t stop pursuing His children. The author shares a personal journey of trying to outrun God, convinced that submission to Him would mean losing pleasure and living under a suffocating list of rules. But the farther she ran, the more she found the opposite of freedom—loneliness, exhaustion, and despair. What looked like control eventually turned into emptiness. That’s often how running works: it offers temporary relief, but it can’t provide lasting peace. Jonah’s story mirrors this reality. Jonah tried to escape God’s call, but the storm made it clear that disobedience doesn’t lead to calm waters. In Jonah 1:12, he acknowledges that the storm was tied to his choices, and the turning point came when he realized he could not save himself—he needed God’s mercy. The devotional connects that to our own “storms” and low places: moments when we realize we’re in the wrong direction, the wrong patterns, the wrong boat—and we don’t have the strength to fix it alone. This prayer invites listeners to stop running and start returning. God’s pursuit isn’t harsh; it’s love. Surrender isn’t the end of life—it’s the beginning of healing and safety in the arms of a Father who doesn’t give up. Whether you’re the one running or you’re praying for someone who is, today is a reminder that God can reach hearts, restore what’s broken, and bring prodigals home. Main Takeaways Running from God can look like chasing “freedom,” but it often leads to emptiness and isolation. God pursues His children with persistent love, even when we resist Him. Jonah’s story reminds us that disobedience brings storms, but surrender leads to mercy. True peace is found not in escape, but in returning to God and trusting His care. This prayer is also for those carrying burden for wayward loved ones—God can bring them back. Today’s Bible Verse “Pick me up and throw me into the sea,” he replied, “and it will become calm. I know that it is my fault that this great storm has come upon you.” - Jonah 1:12 NIV Your Daily Prayer Here is a brief excerpt from today’s prayer: “If anyone is running from You, … open their hearts and minds to receiving You.” You can listen to the full prayer here or read the devotional at the links below.

This episode explores the fear that sits beneath both creativity and ordinary life, the quiet conviction that we are not enough, that if we stop producing we might disappear. Beginning with Tolkien's line about fearing "so small a thing," the reflection moves through impostor syndrome, perfectionism, and what John Barth called Scheherazade's terror, the belief that silence equals death. From there, it opens onto the Christian paradox that freedom does not come from control, but from surrender. Drawing on Tolkien's idea of eucatastrophe, the sudden turn when grace intervenes after our strength is spent, the episode argues that real creativity, real peace, and real joy emerge only when we let go and place our lives fully in God's hands. It closes with a quiet, moving image of childlike joy at a graveside, a reminder that surrender is not weakness but courage, and that resting in God is the only place fear finally loosens its grip.

When to manifest and when to surrender to attract miracles

What if the real breakthrough you are searching for has nothing to do with hustling harder and everything to do with surrender, grace, and presence? In this deeply moving conversation, I sit down with Sage Robbins, and I can honestly tell you this is one of the most powerful interviews I have ever done. I have wanted to have Sage on the show for a long time, and after this conversation, you will understand why. Her wisdom, her heart, and the calm strength she carries will meet you exactly where you are. This episode is not about motivation for the sake of motivation. It is about learning how to live with more peace, more compassion, and more truth in a noisy and divided world. We talk about Sage's upbringing surrounded by recovery, Alcoholics Anonymous, and the 12-step program, and how watching her father, grandparents, and siblings walk through addiction and healing shaped the way she sees humanity. She shares how surrender is not weakness, but freedom, and why so much of our suffering comes from believing life should be different than it is. This conversation opened my own heart as we connected over our fathers, recovery, forgiveness, and what it really means to take responsibility for your inner world. Sage also speaks with rare honesty about grace, humility, and the power of making amends. We discuss why saying “I'm sorry” is one of the most transformative practices in relationships, how ego closes the heart, and why ownership opens it again. She explains how self reflection, not blame, is the gateway to real peace. If you have strained family relationships, unresolved resentment, or feel disconnected from people you love, this part of the conversation will hit home. One of the most profound moments in the episode is when Sage guides us through her daily practice called “60 Seconds of Grace.” It is a simple but life changing reset that brings you back to the present moment. We also talk about how to recognize what is no longer serving you in your life, just like shedding old patterns, judgments, and beliefs that disconnect you from love. This is an episode you will not just listen to. You will feel it. And I promise you will come away changed. Key Takeaways Why surrendering control can create more peace, clarity, and freedom in your life How grace for yourself naturally becomes grace for others The hidden power of making amends and taking full responsibility Why self reflection matters more than being right A simple daily practice to reconnect with peace in just 60 seconds How to let go of what no longer serves you so life can truly begin If you have been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or divided from the people you love, this conversation with Sage Robbins may be exactly what your soul has been waiting for. Please share this episode with someone who needs more grace in their life right now. Let's Max Out together. ⁠⁠

Share a commentA messenger bypasses palaces and arrives in a forgotten town. That's where the story turns. We walk through Luke 1 with fresh eyes, meeting Mary not as a stained-glass icon but as a poor teenager who receives a staggering promise and answers with a brave, uncluttered yes. Gabriel's greeting reframes the moment: grace received, not merit earned. From there, eight prophecies cascade—conception, birth, the name above names, divine Sonship, David's throne, Israel's restoration, and a kingdom that doesn't end—and we trace what has been fulfilled and what still stretches ahead in God's timeline.Along the way, we open the meaning of “overshadowing” and why Luke connects Mary's miracle to the Shekinah presence over the tabernacle and the blaze of the transfiguration. We sit with Mary's honest question, then linger on her surrender: “I am the Lord's servant.” That surrender doesn't smooth the road; it introduces complications—whispers in Nazareth, a shaken betrothal, flight from Herod, and years of scarcity—yet it also unveils the faithfulness that meets us in the hard path. God even provides a companion in Elizabeth, whose Spirit-stirred child leaps for joy, confirming that Mary now carries the Son of God.We close by drawing out what this means for us: grace chooses the unlikely, obedience often increases the stakes, and God is not looking for polished resumes so much as ready hearts. If you've ever wondered how to trust when the details are thin and the cost is high, Mary's story offers a clear, courageous pattern—sign the blank page and let God write. Listen now, share it with a friend who needs hope, and if this conversation speaks to you, follow the show, leave a review, and tell us: where is grace inviting you to say yes today?Get our magazine and daily devotional: https://www.wisdomonline.org/lp/magazineSupport the showStephen's latest book, The Disciples Prayer, is available now. https://www.wisdomonline.org/store/view/the-disciples-prayer-hardback

Today on Exploring the Marketplace, Shawn Bolz and Bob Hasson tackle a struggle many leaders, creatives, and believers quietly carry: striving for God instead of working with God.This episode features guest Nathaniel Vossler, former CFO turned founder of Rhema Now, an app designed to help believers engage in listening prayer, group intensives, and Spirit-led coaching. In early 2025, Nathaniel stepped away from the corporate world after sensing God's clear call into a new season—building this platform alongside his wife while raising their growing family in Idaho.Together, Shawn, Bob, and Nathaniel get practical about:Moving from pressure to presenceSaying no to good things that aren't God thingsCreating Spirit-led rhythms for your calendar and decisionsHearing God clearly in real business and life transitionsLetting go of ego, overcommitment, and burnoutBuilding sustainably with God, not just for HimShawn and Bob also share personal stories of burnout, overextension, and the hard-earned wisdom that comes from learning to surrender control and trust God's pace. This episode is an honest, hope-filled invitation to trade striving for peace—and rediscover what it looks like to walk in true partnership with the Holy Spirit.If you're tired, driven, successful—but longing for peace—this conversation is for you.

It's 90 miles an hour and then you slam into a brick wall and the transmission falls out. It is a very sudden stop.” —Mary Marantz  “Wisdom finally gets a chance to take root because you're just too tired to have these tightly gripped fists anymore.” —Mary Marantz  “I've had to learn that lesson over and over again of just how quickly I wilt and wither when I'm not abiding, when I'm not tethered to the vine, when I am just a branch trying to grow fruit on my own.

In this episode of her solo series, Lisa examines addiction dynamics in food and eating, integrating neurobiology, trauma, and behavioral psychology with personal narrative. She distinguishes substance vs. behavior addictions and reframes the “food addiction” debate as a semantic distraction, emphasizing why behaviors become compulsive. The discussion links binge eating and self-harm through positive and negative reinforcement, underscores capitalist food industry influence, and advocates grief, radical acceptance, and surrender as foundations for change. A personal story traces undereating/overexercise, malnourishment, cognitive impairment, medical oversight, and eventual surrender from rigid weight control to health-centric practices, leading to weight stabilization and improved well-being.Topics Include:Addiction ModelFood and Eating BehaviorsGrief, Acceptance, and SurrenderDisordered Eating[1:08] Lisa begins by acknowledging her own perfectionistic impulse and the importance of taking "messy action" to overcome it, revisiting the topic of addiction from the previous episode to clarify her stance on food addiction. [4:03] Lisa argues that the debate over whether food addiction is real misses the point; the conversation should focus on understanding and effectively treating the issue, acknowledging that it is both similar to and different from other addictions. She presents the addiction model distinguishing between substance addictions (e.g., drugs) and behavioral addictions (e.g., gambling). She explains that the relationship with food is unique because it involves both a substance (food) and a behavior (eating).[6:12] Lisa discusses how on the substance side, hyper-palatable, high-fat, high-sugar foods trigger a strong reward reaction (dopamine, serotonin) in the brain. On the behavior side, eating-related behaviors like overeating, undereating, and binging can become addictive. Lisa introduces Dr. Gabor Maté's definition of addiction. It shows that any behavior can provide temporary relief/pleasure and craving, but causes long-term negative consequences, with an inability to stop. This model applies to both overeating and undereating. Lisa clarifies she is not saying "food is a drug," but that "some people can use food like a drug" for emotional coping.[34:14] Lisa discusses radical acceptance of one's current reality as the first step toward transformation, which involves grieving the relationship with food one wishes they had.[51:43] Lisa shares a personal story about her weight loss journey. After losing about 80 pounds around December 2012, she experienced severe physical symptoms like lightheadedness, hair loss, and cognitive impairment due to malnourishment, even though multiple doctors offered no clear answers. Lisa's personal research into the ACE study and the National Weight Control Registry revealed that both childhood trauma and the habits of successful dieters (low-calorie diet, daily exercise) were linked to her struggles.[1:00:20] Lisa's big surrender moment when she chose to stop dieting, facing an unknown outcome, rather than continue a cycle she knew would lead to more weight gain. She stopped weighing herself, shifted her focus from weight-centric to health-centric goals, prioritized food quality over quantity, and incorporated practices like meditation. Surrender, though frightening and uncomfortable, is a crucial step.[1:19:46] Lisa closes this episode by sharing what topics are to come and inviting listeners to email her with any questions at lisaschlosberg@gmail.com⁠. *The views of podcast guests do not necessarily reflect the views and beliefs of Lisa Schlosberg or Out of the Cave, LLC.LISA IS NOW ACCEPTING: One-on-One Clients!⁠Purchase the OOTC book of 50 Journal Prompts⁠⁠Leave Questions and Feedback for Lisa via OOTC Pod Feedback Form ⁠Email Lisa: ⁠lisa@lisaschlosberg.com⁠⁠Out of the Cave Merch⁠ - For 10% off use code SCHLOS10Lisa's Socials: Instagram⁠ ⁠Facebook⁠ ⁠YouTube⁠

The importance of surrendering yourself to God, rather than following your own "I thought" ideas, is highlighted in 2 Kings 5 in the various reactions of four figures: the maid who served Naaman's wife made a bold declaration of faith; the king of Israel thought highly of himself and assumed the worst; Naaman, full of pride, did not listen to instructions, but eventually submitted to God's way and God healed him; and Gehazi, Elisha's servant, disobeyed his master, taking payment that the prophet had refused, and received Naaman's leprosy as punishment. 2 Kings 5:1-27 VF-2078 Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at PastorMelissaScott.com Pastor Melissa Scott teaches from Faith Center in Glendale.

This episode explores the biblical concept of the “secret place,” emphasizing intentional solitude and prayer as the primary arena where identity as sons and daughters of God is formed, drawing from Matthew 6 and Psalms to show that true spiritual transformation does not happen in public, but in hidden communion with the Father. The speaker contrasts modern culture's fixation on noise, self‑promotion, emotional validation, and constant stimulation with God's invitation to silence, obedience, and submission, teaching that the secret place is not for self‑care or emotional relief, but for dying to self and becoming like Christ. Through personal stories, Scripture, historical Christian voices, and psychological research, the episode argues that freedom from fear, clarity of calling, and spiritual authority are birthed through faithful, disciplined time alone with God, where trust is built, idols are dismantled, and God's will takes precedence over personal feelings or ambition

This episode completes a three-part exploration of manifestation through the lens of yoga philosophy, and it may be the most misunderstood — and most liberating — step of all: surrender (Ishvara Pranidhana).Previously in This SeriesIn Part 1, Katie explored manifestation as clarity of truth and desire, inviting listeners to reconnect with what they truly want beneath conditioning and expectation. In Part 2, the focus shifted to alignment and right action — how living your values, cleaning up unconscious patterns, and staying present creates the conditions for meaningful change. Together, these episodes laid the foundation for a manifestation practice rooted in purpose, connection, and integrity, rather than force or hustle.Now, in this final episode, Katie invites listeners into the deeper truth of manifestation: what unfolds in our lives is often a byproduct of alignment, not something we can force or control. Especially in midlife, when old strategies stop working, surrender becomes a doorway to peace, meaning, and genuine connection.Rather than passivity, surrender is revealed as an active, moment-by-moment relationship with life. Katie explains how trusting a larger intelligence — something loving and unseen — allows us to relax out of struggle and into presence. When we stop fighting reality or fixating on outcomes, we create space for healing, clarity, and unexpected possibilities to emerge.This episode reframes popular manifestation culture by introducing yoga's: Order of Operations: truth → alignment → right action → results offered, not demanded.Through embodied wisdom, nervous system awareness, and lived experience, Katie shows how surrender restores flow, creativity, and courage — and why it is essential for living a life of purpose rather than pressure.As the final chapter in this manifestation series, this conversation invites you to soften effort, trust the unfolding, and recognize that alignment is not about perfect choices, but about right relationship — with yourself, your values, and the intelligence of life moving through you.Episode Chapters04:30 – The Misunderstanding of Surrender: Control vs TrustIntroducing Ishvara Pranidhana and why surrender is essential part of manifestationWhy surrender feels threatening when we believe everything depends on us — and how that belief creates struggle.7:45 – Alignment Over Outcomes: Yoga's Order of OperationsHow yoga reframes manifestation: truth → alignment → right action → results offered, not demanded.11:30 - Nervous System Regulation & ManifestationHow regulating our nervous system helps us see the greater possibilities that life has to offer16:30 – Roadblocks and Detours As OpportunitiesHow roadblocks to our goals are actually communication with the Universe24:00 – What It Means & How It Feels To Live In Alignment How yoga philosophy defines living in alignment and why it's important for manifestation33:30 – What It Looks Like To Live In And Out Of Alignment Practical application of living in alignmentIf you are interested in attending my Beginner Meditation Series or my Finding Your North Star Workshop, register here!About Katie FarinasKatie Farinas is a midlife coach, yoga teacher, and...

One of my best friends is battling cancer, the kind where you make sure your paperwork is in order. Watching from the sidelines feels like trying to put out a house fire by spitting. That sneaky bastard perfectionism keeps whispering "I can control outcomes", but really it's just hypervigilance I've known since I was a little girl wearing grown-up clothes. Remember that our worth stays fixed even when feelings lie and scream you're worthless. The critical voice wakes up whenever we're depleted like an old dysfunctional friend. As HSPs, we can build a wise part that holds us through waves of grief and says there's nothing to fight right now, just breathe. Surrender means accepting some questions have no answers and showing up imperfectly is okay and honest.

In this message from Matthew 3, we encounter John the Baptist crying out in the wilderness with a simple but confrontational call: repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. As Jesus steps into the Jordan to be baptized, we see the upside-down nature of God's kingdom on full display—where humility comes before power, obedience before recognition, and identity before performance. From repentance and fruit-bearing faith to sanctification, salvation, and the refining fire of the Holy Spirit, this passage invites us to re-examine how we're doing life and whose way we're truly following. John prepared the way for Jesus' first coming—and now we are called to prepare people for His return. Where might God be asking you to change direction so heaven can break into earth through your life?

Message by Chris Brown on January 17, 2026. Here is a riddle: Two people walk out of the same church. One was bored to death while the other felt like God spoke directly to them. Why? Why is it that church seems to work for some and not for others, or why does God seem to speak to only a few and not anyone else? Jesus reveals this secret today in a way that we can all understand.

Have you ever worked so hard to change—only to end up feeling stuck, exhausted, or right back where you started? What if the reason nothing seems to last isn't because you're not disciplined enough… but because you've been trying to do it all on your own?

In today's episode, I'm sharing three practical, real-life ways to release control, trust God more deeply, and finally experience change that doesn't fade after a few weeks.

What if the reason we feel anxious, blocked, and exhausted is not a lack of effort, but a refusal to surrender? This episode weaves poetry, ancient myth, modern culture, and Christian wisdom into a single question: where does real creativity and real peace actually come from? From the Greek Muses and Plato's divine madness, through Homer and Shakespeare, to Augustine, Aquinas, Tolkien, and Christ in Gethsemane, this talk challenges the modern instinct to control, perform, and self-create. If you feel restless, afraid to let go, or stuck trying to hold your life together, this episode invites you to listen closely, because peace does not come from mastery, it comes from trust.

Everyone wants financial freedom. But for many of us, freedom gets defined by “more”—more income, more margin, more accumulation. The irony is that the more we chase, the less peace we often feel. The issue isn't just mathematical. It's spiritual. Money is one of the clearest mirrors of what we trust. And trust—not strategies or spreadsheets—is where true financial freedom begins.To explore that idea, we sat down with Ron Blue, cofounder of Kingdom Advisors and a pioneer in modern biblical financial stewardship. For more than fifty years, Ron has helped Christians think about money through the lens of Scripture, wisdom, and faithful discipleship.Ron pointed out that financial behavior always flows from belief. If we believe we own our resources, then every financial decision carries pressure and fear. But when we acknowledge that God owns everything, that pressure shifts. Instead of performing, controlling, or protecting outcomes, we begin stewarding what belongs to Him. Surrender turns money from a fear-based issue into a faith-based one.Many of us assume money is a knowledge problem—if we just learn more or find better tools, we'll finally make progress. But Ron reminded us that Scripture treats money as a matter of wisdom. Knowledge alone can complicate money; wisdom simplifies it. Biblical principles don't change with markets or trends, and when we make decisions rooted in principle, we gain clarity and peace.Fear is one of the most silent drivers in our financial lives. Most people quietly wonder, “Will I ever have enough?” and “If I do, will it remain enough?” Fear focuses on what we lack rather than what God has already provided. Jesus counters that fear in Matthew 6:33 by calling us to seek first God's Kingdom and trust Him with our needs—food, clothing, and shelter included.Ron also stressed that generosity plays a unique role in financial freedom because it breaks money's hold on the heart. He described giving as an open hand—letting God put in or take out as He chooses. Giving is unnatural and counterintuitive, but it declares trust in God's provision and aligns us with His purposes.If financial freedom is the goal, surrender, wisdom, trust, and generosity are the path. Tools matter, budgets matter, and knowledge matters, but none of them can replace a heart anchored in God's ownership. True freedom doesn't start with more. It starts with surrender.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My son wants to buy a home, but it doesn't qualify for a mortgage because of its condition. The owners offered a rent-to-own contract in which he'd make repairs and try to qualify for financing later. What are the pitfalls with that? And after making repairs under rent-to-own, would he still be able to get a mortgage?My husband and I are a blended family with adult children, and we're working on estate planning. We were introduced to an A-B trust, but we don't really understand the pros and cons. Is an A-B trust a good fit for us, and are there other approaches that would ensure our children receive their inheritance?I'm 68, and I rent a house on my landlady's property. She's 82 and declining in health, and my son thinks I should consider buying a home for long-term security. Am I too old to buy a house at this stage of life? And should I also be considering long-term care insurance?I inherited money from a family member's trust. The first RMD was already taken, and I have ten years to withdraw the rest. Am I allowed to make a qualified charitable gift from an inherited IRA, or am I ineligible because I'm not 70 yet?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions every workday at (800) 525-7000.

In this deeply personal and hope-filled episode of the Choose to Think Inspirational Podcast, Victoria invites listeners into an honest conversation about self-control, grief, surrender, and the quiet exhaustion that comes from trying to do life in our own strength.Drawing from her own experiences—memories of her father, moments of self-pity, struggles with temptation, and the pressure of performance—Victoria explores what it truly means to be a vessel for God's love rather than the source of it. She unpacks how striving hardens the heart and exhausts the mind, while surrender opens the door to healing, restoration, and renewed joy.Blending Scripture, lived wisdom, and accessible brain science, this episode gently reframes failure—not as disqualification, but as a place where God's grace can flow most freely. Victoria reminds us that our worth is not earned through achievement, that brokenness does not cancel calling, and that humility and accountability are powerful pathways to emotional and spiritual healing.The episode closes with a heartfelt prayer and an invitation to step out of self-reliance and into the steady, sustaining presence of God.Self-control is a lifelong journey, not a finish lineGrief often surfaces through memories and emotional triggersSurrender interrupts self-pity and restores clarity and peaceAwareness of our thoughts is the first step toward renewalWe are vessels for God's love—not the source of itOur worth is rooted in who we are, not what we doFailure does not disqualify us; it can deepen our capacity to loveBrokenness can become part of our beauty and testimonyGod's grace is always available, even after serious mistakesHumility and accountability are essential for emotional healing00:00 – Introduction & Personal Reflections03:13 – Navigating Grief and Memories06:02 – Self-Pity and Spiritual Growth09:15 – The Struggle with Self-Control12:00 – Surrendering to God's Will14:38 – Being a Vessel for God's Love19:09 – Understanding Our Worth23:13 – Performance vs. Purpose26:00 – Embracing Failure and Grace28:55 – Closing Reflections and Prayer34:26 – Outro

Did you know that over 90% of moms report feeling chronically overwhelmed—and more than half say they've forgotten what joy even feels like? That isn't failure… it's fatigue.In this deeply nourishing conversation, Elaine Starling sits down with Laurie Hammer, creator of the Calm Mom Method, to explore how true calm doesn't come from pushing harder—but from restoring balance in the body, mind, and spirit.Laurie shares her powerful personal journey through anxiety, depression, and an eating disorder—and how amino acid therapy and nervous-system support helped her reclaim peace, energy, and purpose. Together, Elaine and Laurie explore how nourishing the brain, honoring the body's wisdom, and partnering with The Divine allows us to release overwhelm and return to our natural state of calm.If you've ever felt like you're white-knuckling your way through life, this episode is your reminder: peace is not something you chase—it's something you cultivate.Topics Covered (YouTube Chapters)0:00 Why overwhelm isn't failure—it's fatigue2:04 Laurie Hammer's healing journey & the Calm Mom Method4:30 The I AM / CONSCIOUSNESS breathing practice + Intention8:21 How amino acid therapy restores emotional balance14:01 Defining Divine Abundance through identity & embodiment15:06 Signs your nervous system and brain may be depleted18:55 Letting go of judgment and choosing calm27:45 Surrender, choice, and lasting transformation32:43 Two free daily practices that reset your nervous system35:20 Laurie's free consult & how to connectKey Takeaways (Skimmable Wins)· Overwhelm is often biochemical—not a personal flaw· Nourishing the brain restores emotional clarity and calm· Peace becomes accessible when the body feels safe· Small daily rituals create profound long-term change· You don't have to do more—you get to support yourself betterStep-by-Step Process SharedRestoring Calm from the Inside OutNourish the brain → Emotional regulation & clarityReset circadian rhythms → Better sleep & energyPractice awareness + Intention → Calm nervous systemRelease judgment → Return to presenceChoose support → Sustainable healing & abundanceListen to the full episode for lived examples and gentle guidance.Questions Answered in This EpisodeWhy do so many high-functioning women feel chronically overwhelmed?How does amino acid therapy support emotional balance?What are signs your nervous system needs support?How do you define Divine Abundance in daily life?What simple steps can restore calm starting today?Pull...

Episode 15 is a different kind of New Year's Eve conversation—less “resolution energy,” more real life, real leadership, real presence.Jay Doran and Jenna Silverman sit down with Michael Allosso and Joseph Iredell during the 2025 Lollapalooza to unpack the theme:“Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.”From the jump, it's personal—Mike Calhoun has officially tapped out after an all-day hosting marathon, and Jenna steps in to co-lead the room. What follows is a layered discussion about the words that shaped 2025 and the words driving 2026:Michael Allosso (2025): Seen & Heard — the ache of invisibility, and the power of making people feel visible.Michael (2026): Intensity — no more passive interactions; every moment becomes an event, with real stakes.Joseph Iredell: moves from Understanding into Dominance for 2026—less introspection, more execution, and refusing to “play defense” after momentum is built.Jenna: reflects on Faith in 2025 and anchors 2026 in Surrender—letting go of forced outcomes while staying disciplined about clarity, communication, and aligned action.The episode also hits a few Culture Matters gold veins: casting vs. hiring, why leaders misplace people into roles that drain them, and why “stakes” change everything—your tone, your preparation, your presence, and the way people remember you.They close by wrestling with a big question: How do you teach values in a way that's engaging—lived, not lectured?The answer keeps circling back to the same truth: values become real when they show up inside conversations, decisions, and the way we treat people when no one's watching.If you're heading into 2026 craving more presence, more purpose, and fewer forced outcomes—this one will land.

WOW. At the end of 2025, there was a collective experience many high-level women quietly went through. It was a final surrender that arrived without permission, often without witnesses, and minus a clear storyline. But what looked like collapse—exhaustion, illness, emotional release, or forced stillness—was not a weakness…**It was clearing the way for our reassignment.**Now, in 2026, awareness is no longer the work. The work at this moment is what we do *after* we know.For the last several years, our work WAS the awareness. In fact, on this show we covered many times topics in this category: naming misalignments, surviving burnout, questioning old definitions of success, and admitting when a chapter was over. But now that era is complete.In this 2026 kickoff episode of Reward, Ali Brown explores what emerges on the other side of that surrender: authority without performance, leadership without consensus, and decisions made without the need for validation. The women Ali works with in The Trust and as private clients are no longer explaining, waiting, or negotiating with outdated versions of themselves. They are moving… because clarity has already moved through them.If you feel calmer, cleaner, and less available for what once consumed you—this episode will name exactly where you are now. And then, learn more about The Trust and Ali…Curious about The Trust — our modern, premier network for 7+8-figure women entrepreneurs?

If you've ever felt tired from trying to hold it all together — your faith, your calling, your business, your life — this episode is for you.Today, I'm sitting down with Stefanie Gass to talk about the shift from striving to surrender. The kind of surrender that isn't polished or pretty. The kind that invites God into the parts we'd rather keep hidden — the fear, the control, the pressure to perform.Stef shares what it really looked like to fully surrender her life and business to God, how obedience sometimes led her into quiet, unseen seasons, and why she believes your story matters more than you think. Even the messy parts. Especially the messy parts.We talk about how striving often sneaks in disguised as faithfulness, why surrender doesn't mean giving up but handing over, and how God uses our stories (when shared honestly) to bring hope and healing to others.If you're weary, questioning, or wondering if God can really use your story, this conversation will meet you right where you are.To connect with Stef, head over to https://stefaniegass.com or @stefaniegass on IG!Get Stefanie's Profitable Podcast Bootcamp for FREE with code HANNAH: https://stefaniegass.thrivecart.com/eg-profitable-podcast-bootcamp/?coupon=HANNAHSubmit a question for “Ask Han” here: https://forms.gle/qWGxyy9M5Q5N2tMz9 SUPPORT BY WORDS: https://buymeacoffee.com/bywordsMy favorite Bible studies + devotionals - HANNAHHUGHES10  for 10% off: https://thedailygraceco.com?dt_id=300773 CONNECT:hello@thehannahhughes.comhttps://www.instagram.com/thehannahhughes

Sandra discusses how her dual upbringing among scientists and artists, plus early plein air experiences with her great aunt, shaped her experimental, curiosity-driven approach to art. She explains that creating is “like breathing” and that her artistic voice emerged over thousands of paintings, influenced by her background in cognitive science and early fascination with cellular structures seen through a microscope. She also discusses how intention, story, and lived experience transform craft into art, emphasizing that story can be conveyed through color, texture, layers, and emotion rather than literal representation. Sandra describes her book Awakening Your Creative Soul and related “soul spark” exercises as a manual for weekly play and experimentation, rooted partly in her years working with people in addiction and trauma recovery. Sandra also gives us tips about quieting the inner critic, using strategies like “muting” it, keeping a playful side canvas, working quickly with timers, and embracing imperfection and surrender—especially for perfectionist oriented artists. Sandra also shares how she built a career as a full-time artist through outdoor shows, teaching, writing, and relationships with collectors. Finally, Sandra highlights her upcoming Ireland workshop and a long-term installation project wrapping burned trees in painted canvases to respond to climate-change-driven wildfires.Sandra's FASO site:sandraduranwilson.comSandra's Social Media:instagram.com/sandraduranwilson/facebook.com/sandraduranwilsonartistSandra's YouTube Channel:youtube.com/sandraduranwilson

What if your purpose isn't something you need to find, but something you remember by letting go of who you thought you were supposed to be? In this episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily sits down with Sadhvi Bhagawati, spiritual leader, humanitarian, and longtime resident of Rishikesh, India, for a conversation that spans identity, dharma, devotion, service, and the quiet joy of surrender. Sadhviji shares her journey from a successful Western life to answering an inner call that led her to the banks of the Ganges more than three decades ago, not as an escape from the world, but as a deeper way of being in it. Together, they explore what dharma really means beyond career or calling, why success so often leaves people feeling empty, and how purpose emerges naturally when we stop striving and start listening. The conversation moves into the profound collective experience of the Maha Kumbh Mela, where hundreds of millions of people gather not around identity, politics, or achievement, but shared remembrance. Sadhviji explains how these ancient gatherings dissolve the illusion of separation and offer a lived experience of unity that can't be understood intellectually, only felt. Emily and Sadhviji also explore the Vedic understanding of immortality, not as something physical, but as the wisdom of knowing yourself beyond the body, the story, and the personal narrative. They talk about releasing identity without abandoning responsibility, how service becomes effortless when it's aligned, and why happiness isn't something we earn, it's what remains when we stop resisting life. This episode is not about becoming someone new. It's about remembering who you already are. In This Episode, We Explore: • What dharma really means beyond career or productivity • Why success often fails to deliver fulfillment • Surrender as strength, not passivity • The Maha Kumbh Mela and collective remembrance • Identity, ego, and the freedom of letting go • Immortality as consciousness, not the body • Service as a natural expression of alignment • Finding peace without bypassing responsibility About Sadhvi Bhagawati: Sadhvi Bhagawati is a spiritual leader, author, and humanitarian based in Rishikesh, India. She is President of the Divine Shakti Foundation, Secretary-General of the Global Interfaith WASH Alliance, and a key organizer of the Kumbh Mela. She is the author of Hollywood to the Himalayas and Come Home to Yourself, and is known worldwide for bridging Eastern wisdom with modern life through service, devotion, and interfaith leadership. Where This Work Continues The themes in this episode — dharma, embodiment, service, and lived wisdom — are central to the work we do inside Level 3, an advanced mastermind designed to support deep integration, regulation, and spiritual leadership, with initiatory experiences that include pilgrimage in Greece.

Send us a textIn times of deep transitions when unspeakable pain and darkness flood the thoughts, when you feel like you are walking through the swale on shards, when every tear is packed with release, we surrender. We have no choice. When we try to resume normal routine momentum, we are running against the rhythm which is relentless in its power to hold us down. Therefore when you are found in this seemingly merciless juncture, do not fight it. Surrender. Let it be. Hold yourself closely and breathe. The depth of the swale always equals the depth of purpose- this profound journey assigned to you and only you. Amid the inner turmoil, there lies a silence, you feel the shift. A seismic change in the texture of your reality.  The invisible war goes visible, not to anyone else, but to you - through the inner eyes of the ultimate victory now bound to your survival. Your every spectacular invention, every design, every digital pulse in the background, now reveals a battlefield - a war waging within the vulnerable skin of your own being.everything you conjured through stoic sacrifice and punishing discipline is Manifested  ahead of and beyond the science behind it. What we call Science in the past thousands of eons is deeply flawed. Myopic vision that dissects, segmentises, and isolates - like lifting a heart out if its body, and mechanically energizing it and when it flutters we shout “we have created life”. We unleash nuclear weapons into the atmosphere and actually believe that they have no impact on the "scalar waves" that safeguard all galaxies in the universe. Simply because our knowledge is harnessed to a limited  mindset that is bound by empirical validations. In the miasma of spiritual amnesia we endure the false belief that our vast state of isolation and ignorance is the energy that is propelling the creation. We miss the perfected creation that surrounds that nourishes that fuel both genius and ignorance. We do not consider the intricate weave of creation wherein even its most minuscule pulse vibrates in perfection. You are that perfection. Your soul reflects it unto every breath, thought and measure of your expansive being. Now, in this critical juncture, your soul summons you into reflection. This is not punishment, it is recalibration for the heart. You had long passed the juncture where mind, matter and code seamlessly coalesced. Now, you are being forced by divine grasp to pause. Go within. Explore your inner universe. Reclaim the sanctity that created you, one that resides in benevolence and stoic integrity… one that teaches, nourishes and protects the absolute Consciousness. For you are the indispensable fulcrum and fire of the future. Support the showMay Peace Be Your Journey~www.mayatiwari.comwww.facebook.com/mayatiwariahimsa.Buzzsprout.com Mothermaya@gmail.com Get Maya's New Book: I Am Shakti: https://www.collectiveinkbooks.com/o-books/our-books/I-am-shakti Amazon.com Bookshop.org

Keywordsfaith, divine purpose, surrender, stillness, personal growth, God's love, seeking God, women's empowerment, spiritual journey, confidenceSummaryIn this episode of the Wise Divine Woman podcast, Dr. Melanie Gray shares her insights on faith, divine purpose, and the importance of seeking a personal relationship with God.

THE EMPEROR'S IMMUNITY AND MACARTHUR'S SWIFT JUSTICE Colleague Professor Gary J. Bass. Following the surrender on the USS Missouri, General Douglas MacArthur faced the challenge of implementing the Potsdam Declaration's call for justice. A political decision was made to shield Emperor Hirohito from prosecution to utilize his authority for disarming troops and legitimizing the occupation, despite his complicity in the war effort. Conversely, MacArthur pursued swift, vengeful justice against his personal enemies, Generals Homma and Yamashita. Ignoring standard military court procedures, MacArthur established a precedent for the coming trials by rushing their convictions and executions for atrocities in the Philippines, an approach the Supreme Court refused to block.
