Podcasts about surviving

The Bible warns us that from the moment we are saved, we are hunted. In this sermon, Pastor Joe Rice preaches on Proverbs 6:5 and Proverbs 22:3, showing how Satan's hunters seek to destroy destinies, discourage new converts, and derail believers. From false prophets to debt, distractions, and even well-meaning family, the enemy uses many hunters. Learn how to stay aware, protect your spiritual life, and move from merely surviving to thriving.This message is a wake-up call for every believer: don't be ignorant, don't wander on the edges—stay in the middle of God's will, outlast the attacks, and live in the power of Christ's resurrection.https://TakingTheLandPodcast.comSUBSCRIBE TO PREMIUM FOR MORE:• ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe for only $3/month on Supercast⁠: https://taking-the-land.supercast.com/⁠• ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe for only $3.99/month on Spotify⁠: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/taking-the-land/subscribe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠• ⁠Subscribe for only $4.99/month on Apple Podcasts⁠: https://apple.co/3vy1s5b⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠00:00 Missionary Work and Heritage00:28 Honoring Missionaries and Their Sacrifices03:17 The Value of New Converts06:45 Surviving Your Many Hunters09:44 Understanding the Nature of Being Hunted12:32 The Consequences of Ignorance15:45 Satan's Early and Persistent Attacks18:24 The Role of the Church Community21:25 Warnings and Lessons from Experience27:00 The Deceptive Forces in Destiny29:45 Identifying and Overcoming Hunters of Destiny32:31 The Role of Family and Friends in Our Journey38:05 Surviving and Thriving Amidst Challenges43:47 Encouragement and Self-Strengthening52:09 The Power of Resurrection and PerseveranceShow NotesALL PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD EVANGELISMLocate a CFM Church near you: https://cfmmap.orgWe need five-star reviews!

What happens when living with chronic disease leads you to an unexpected calling? On this episode of The Heart of Innovation, cohosts Kym McNicholas and Dr. John Phillips sit down with Rob, founder of PAD Life Outdoors, who shares his powerful and deeply human journey of living with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) — a condition caused by poor circulation in the legs — while also navigating life after aortic stenting for an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Along the way, Rob discovered something surprising. As his beard grew, a pair of spectacles appeared, and strangers began calling him Santa — he realized that spreading joy, hope, and holiday cheer gave him something medicine alone never could. This spring, Rob is taking that calling one step further by enrolling in Santa Claus School to become fully certified. In this heartfelt conversation, Rob opens up about: Living with the physical and emotional weight of PAD Recovering from major vascular disease and intervention How purpose and joy can help quiet the daily burden of chronic illness Why becoming Santa has helped him focus on what he can do — not what PAD has taken away This episode is a reminder that even in the face of debilitating disease, meaning, connection, and joy still matter — and they can be powerful medicine.

Injecting diabetes drugs to lose weight. Surviving on 800 calories. Wrapping ourselves in plastic. Fasting for days and calling it a "protocol."When did this become normal?In this episode, I'm asking the question nobody wants to ask anymore: Does any of this actually make sense?The answer is no. And that's not an accident.The diet industry didn't just fail us. It broke us. It manufactured our desperation, and then sold us increasingly extreme "solutions" that were never designed to work long-term. They were designed to keep us coming back.Today, we start at the beginning. How we got here. Why we stopped trusting ourselves. And what it's going to take to reclaim the common sense that was stolen from us.In this episode:The absurdity we've normalized in the name of "health"How desperation replaces wisdom and why the diet industry counts on itThe difference between "Does this make sense?" and "Will this finally work?"Why every failure pushed you further from your own judgmentThe rigged game and how to stop playing

Fighter Pilot Survival: Kegan Gill's Battle Beyond the Battlefield In this extraordinary episode, Marcus and Melanie meet with retired U.S. Navy Fighter Pilot Kegan Gill, whose story is nothing short of miraculous. Kegan survived a catastrophic ejection from his aircraft during a training mission over the Atlantic Ocean, where he ejected directly into the sound barrier. The injuries he sustained in that moment were severe enough to kill most people – his limbs torn apart and a traumatic brain injury among them. But Kegan's ordeal was only beginning. Plunged into the icy waters of the Atlantic with his parachute still attached, his wetsuit torn, and his arms unable to move, Kegan was forced to endure a two-hour battle with hypothermia as rescue teams raced to find him. Miraculously, his hypothermic state prevented fatal blood loss. Following this harrowing experience, Kegan faced months of grueling recovery, eventually achieving a perfect Physical Fitness Test score and returning to flight duty. However, Kegan's journey didn't end with physical recovery. He began experiencing severe psychotic episodes due to his brain injury, leading to a stint in a VA Mental Health Facility. Pharmaceutical treatments only worsened his symptoms, and he endured dehumanizing treatment from caregivers who misunderstood his unique needs. Now, Kegan is finding renewed hope through alternative treatments for brain health. Through the Warrior Angels Foundation, he has discovered the power of nutraceutical and hormonal interventions, offering a glimmer of healing. Beyond his personal health battles, Kegan is a dedicated father and husband, working tirelessly to support his young family. Join us as Kegan opens up about his incredible journey of survival, resilience, and healing. His story is as inspiring as it is shocking – a testament to human strength and the will to overcome even the darkest of circumstances. Tune in to hear a story of grit, determination, and the relentless pursuit of healing against all odds.  In This Episode You Will Hear: • When I was about 10 years old, my family had a friend that had a Cessna, and he took me up on this lawnmower with wings, and we went buzzing around, and it felt like a freakin' rocket ship. I absolutely loved being above the earth, and I felt so free. (6:36) • In May of 2012, I graduated as a winged aviator, and I got those wings pinned on my chest. (23:40) • [Marcus] It's an absolute transition into a different human being the minute those wings touch your chest. (24:02) • [In flight school] you showed up there, and you had your wings, and you thought you made it. They made it very clear you have not made anything yet. (26:40) • It just so happened on this day there was a 16 foot, 3,500 pound Great White Shark named Mary Lee directly under my airspace, and my buddy pointed out,  “Hey man, Today would be a terrible day to eject,” and an hour after having that conversation, I found myself out on what turned into a pretty freaking wild experience. (36:23) • [Melanie] Q: Is it common to eject?”  [Keegan] A: It happens more than you hear about in the news. We lose a few naval fighter jets every year to mishaps. (37:16) • When you show up at flight school, they say “Look to your left and look to your right. One of you is gonna have a serious mishap or be dead choosing this job. Are you sure you wanna be here?” (37:49) • You think you're invincible, and you don't really think anything of it. (38:04) • Keegan tells the detailed story of that fateful day. (Starting at 41:21) • When I punched out, I got the initial blast from the ejection seat, and then immediately impacted the sound barrier with my body. At that speed, the human body is not aerodynamic. (50:58) • The aircraft impacted the water so fast, it just vaporized. (52:50) • They ended up wheeling me in, and treated me for severe hyperthermia. They took my core body temperature. I was at 87 degrees. [Marcus] “That should've killed you.” (60:13) • One of the more senior guys takes me into his office and he goes: “Congratulations, Lieutenant Gill. If you can figure out how to get your body working again, we'll get you back in a Super Hornet. (68:14) • My brain was just not working the way it was supposed to from TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury). (75:04) • I had a deep sense of betrayal from all that thought I had served. To see the treatment, it seemed like everything I was fighting for was a joke. (89:53) • I've had a number of psychedelic-assisted therapies that have been really helpful. (95:54) • Ibogaine has been studied pretty thoroughly at this point. It's showing that it triggers neuro-regeneration.

As the year comes to a close, it's natural to start dreaming about what's next. But for many florists, 2025 didn't feel expansive or inspiring — it felt like survival.In this episode, Jen dives into what it really means to move from surviving to thriving in 2026. Not through hustle, burnout, or “new year, new me” energy — but through intention, reflection, boundaries, and strategic decisions that support both your life and your business.If you've felt exhausted, reactive, underpaid, creatively drained, or stuck in constant overwhelm, this episode is for you.In This Episode, We Cover:Why survival mode isn't failure — and why so many florists normalize burnoutThe physical, emotional, and creative cost of staying in survival too longHow margin (in time, money, and energy) completely changes your nervous systemWhy being “busy” isn't a badge of honor — and what it's actually costing youThe connection between your personal life and business growthHow thriving starts with alignment, not doing moreThe 5-Step Shift from Surviving to Thriving in 2026Acknowledge Survival Without ShameSurvival mode is a response — not a personal failure. Many florists are surviving because they're caregiving, rebuilding, healing, or simply carrying too much. Honor what got you here — and allow yourself to want more.Identify What's Keeping You StuckLow-margin work, undercharging, saying yes out of fear, lack of systems, inconsistent pay, and constant reactivity all keep you trapped. You can't change what you won't name.Redefine What Thriving Means to YouThriving isn't nonstop work or booking everything. It's calm, predictable income, creative joy, clear boundaries, support, and a business that gives back to your life — not one that drains it.Make Small, Strategic ShiftsThis isn't about burning everything down. Simplify your offers. Raise prices intentionally. Build planner relationships. Create systems. Focus on micro momentum — small actions that compound into real change.Decide That 2026 Will Be DifferentA new year doesn't create change — decisions do. Thriving requires intention, structure, and support. You don't have to do it alone, but you do have to choose it.Reflection Questions to Sit With:What parts of my business drain me the most?What actually makes me the most money?Where am I over-giving or saying yes out of fear?What am I no longer willing to tolerate in 2026?What would thriving feel like — not just look like?Want Support Creating a Different 2026?Jen is hosting a Goal Planning Party on January 5th at 1:00 PM CST, where you'll:Reflect on what worked (and didn't) in 2025Clarify what stays, what goes, and what gets simplifiedDesign goals that support your life and your businessConnect with other florists who are ready to grow with intentionYou'll receive a guided goal-planning worksheet and live support to help you start the year grounded and clear — not reactive and overwhelmed.

And suddenly every QBR feels like a fire drill.This is Stage 2 of the revenue leader's transformation—the moment when activity is high, effort is real, but impact is frustratingly hard to prove. You're working harder than ever, yet you can't confidently tie what your team is doing to pipeline, revenue, or real ROI.This episode is part two of a five-part series exploring the journey B2B revenue leaders go through as they move from reactive execution to full revenue visibility and executive-level confidence. Each stage represents a breaking point, where leaders either confront the real problem or stay stuck explaining away the same issues quarter after quarter.In this episode, we unpack Stage 2: The QBR Fire Drill—the phase where credibility, confidence, and career momentum are quietly put at risk.You're likely in Stage 2 if you've ever said, “Board decks take days to build and still don't tell a clean story.”What We Cover in This Episode:Why QBRs become fire drills and what that reveals about your data foundationThe hidden cost of stitching together spreadsheets, slide decks, and conflicting reportsHow legacy GTM data models quietly destroy credibility at the executive levelThe most common data architecture flaw preventing revenue visibility (and why it's so easy to miss)The moment leaders realize they can't survive another quarter operating this wayWhat it takes to shift from lagging, backward-looking metrics to forward-looking visibilityThis stage forces a hard reckoning.Not just with your systems, but with your willingness to challenge the status quo, speak uncomfortable truths, and admit that the current way of measuring GTM is no longer good enough.

Hi mama, Get my free guide: ✨ ChatGPT Prompts Made Simple for Moms ✨today! We're continuing our Becoming Her series, and today we're diving into a big one—the career you want in 2026. As we close out this year and prepare to open a fresh new chapter, this episode is an invitation to pause and reflect before jumping into goal-setting or making big decisions. Because this conversation is for both types of working moms: • The mom who feels unfulfilled and knows she wants something different • The mom who likes her job, values her career, and wants to grow or climb the ladder... without burning herself out If you've ever found yourself busy, productive, and checking all the boxes… yet still feeling disconnected or restless, this episode is for you. In this deeply personal and practical episode, I share my own journey of realizing I had slowly lost pieces of myself in survival mode… and how slowing down, getting clear, and taking intentional steps changed everything. You'll also learn how to identify whether you're being called to stay, stretch, or shift in this next season… and how to move forward without pressure, guilt, or overwhelm.

In our fourth installment of Surviving the 90s, we're revisiting Heart - the band that not only churned out hits across multiple decades, but played a key role in the burgeoning Seattle music scene of the 80s and 90s. Known for a string of massive hits like "Barracuda," "Crazy On You," "Magic Man,"  and more in the 70s, the chart-topping band suffered a downturn in the early 80s only to return with two successful albums, 1985's self-titled record and the 1987 follow-up Bad Animals, both of which achieved multi-Platinum status. But as the musical landscape shifted in the 90s, the band released their 1990 album Brigade to a shifting musical landscape, and doubled-down with the out-of-step Desire Walks In in 1993. Though new hits failed to materialize, they continued to remain relevant thanks to their strong ties to the Seattle scene and the undeniable talent of Ann and Nancy Wilson. We revisit their biggest hits, their activity in the 90s, and try to determine: did Heart thrive, adapt, or fade during the decade?   Songs In This Episode Intro - Barracuda 21:49 - Heartless 41:31 - Wild Child 51:16 - Will You Be There (In The Morning) Outro - Magic Man   Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon.

Send us a textIn this deeply personal and unguarded conversation, NFL tackle Calvin Anderson reflects on the year his life completely fell apart — and the unexpected forces that ultimately saved him.After returning from a trip to Nigeria, Calvin contracted a life-threatening case of malaria, followed by a rare heart contusion that pulled him off the field and into a season of fear, uncertainty, and emotional unraveling. It was supposed to be the year he stepped into his prime. Instead, it became the year everything broke.In this episode of At the Podium, Calvin opens up about:• Surviving malaria and the terrifying moments that nearly cost him his life• The heart injury that forced him to stop, sit still, and finally address his mental health• How leaning into faith and embracing vulnerability became lifelines• The profound love he shares with his wife, Sheree—and the role she played in saving his life• Why breaking down became the beginning of rebuilding• What resilience looks like when no one is watching• The legacy he hopes to leave far beyond footballThis is not just a story about the NFL.It is a story about being human, about surrender, about love, about belief —and about finding the courage to keep going when everything inside you is telling you to quit.If you've ever lived through a year that broke you, this episode may be the conversation you didn't know you needed.

April co-founder and CEO Ben Borodach joins Fund/Build/Scale to break down how he built a compound startup in one of the hardest markets in fintech: U.S. taxes. We talk about why some problems can't be solved with a simple wedge product, how to sequence engineering, compliance, and distribution, and what it takes to operate inside complexity for years before the market catches up. Ben shares the early customer discovery work, the “science experiments” that shaped April's product, and the cultural frameworks he and his co-founder developed before they wrote any code. If you're an early-stage founder deciding what to build — or how to build it — this episode offers a clear playbook for choosing hard problems and de-risking them the right way.

This week, we sat down with Berni Fisher, VP of Product at Appcues and a self-described "first principles goddess." Berni goes deep on what it was really like behind the scenes during the notorious 2012 Apple Maps launch, the triple threat problem at ButcherBox where they exist at the intersection of grocery, eCommerce, AND SaaS, and more. In our conversation, Berni discusses: Surviving the "2012 Apple Maps Debacle" and the intense backlash post-launch, as well as how the team used a "triage mindset" to prioritize fixes based on customer usage and risk. Her Black Friday Gamble: Why she pushed for a risky site overhaul at ButcherBox right before their busiest season, resulting in double-digit conversion gains And Customer-Led AI Innovation: how Appcues used their own product to poll users on AI trust, leading to a roadmap driven by actual customer needs rather than industry hype.

David Choe is a world-renowned artist, writer, podcaster and TV host. He tells how as a child, he was made to believe he was destined for greatness but also that he was a complete disgrace, leading him to channel his energy—including deep shame—into art that brought him global recognition. He shares about his addictions that put him on a decades-long cycle of extreme highs and lows and that forced him to eventually acknowledge and heal the childhood trauma he was battling inside. David shows up with raw, authentic presence to show us how we can transmute pain and shame into our best creative work and, more importantly, how complete vulnerability, especially about our hardest experiences, is the ultimate tool for forgiveness and self-acceptance. He also tells us the actual story about early Facebook, Pee-wee Herman and Santa Claus. Note: This conversation includes topics and language that may not be suitable for younger audiences.

Everyone's heard the advice to “just avoid certain people.” That works until you can't. In this episode, I break down real conversational situations people actually run into during the holidays—family dinners, extended relatives, friends-of-friends, awkward small talk, emotional dumping, political grenades—and give you specific, usable strategies to handle them without blowing things up or walking away drained.   ⸻     What You'll Learn in This Episode   •How to deal with people who drop strong opinions at the table without turning dinner into a debate club   •What to say when someone starts emotionally unloading on you and you don't want to fix, argue, or absorb it   •How to interrupt long-winded talkers without being rude or awkward   •What to do when someone makes passive-aggressive comments and you don't want to take the bait   •How to carry a conversation with people you don't naturally click with (without forcing fake enthusiasm)   •Simple ways to pivot conversations when they start heading somewhere messy   •A few clean exit lines you can use so you're not trapped in conversations longer than you need to be   ⸻     Follow Us: Website: ArtofCoaching.com Instagram: @coach_brettb X: @coach_brettb

In this episode, we examine how Christians can recognize and withstand Satan's attacks by standing on the truth of God's Word. Scripture teaches that spiritual battles are real, but believers are not powerless. Through deception, temptation, and discouragement, the enemy seeks to weaken faith—but God provides everything needed to stand firm.    Featuring Pastor JP Pokluda  At Harris Creek Baptist Church Waco, Texas

In this episode, Sherry talks with Amy Stein, an herbalist, energy medicine educator, trauma-informed breathwork facilitator, and motivational speaker, to explore what it really means to heal — beyond symptoms, diagnoses, and willpower.This episode is a powerful reminder that your body is not broken — it's communicating.What You'll Hear in This EpisodeAmy shares her personal journey of growing up immersed in Western medicine, only to find herself chronically ill in her mid-20s — mirroring the very patients she once worked with. What followed was years of unanswered questions, standardized protocols, and the painful realization that being “too sensitive” was never the problem.Together, Sherry and Amy unpack the deeper layers of healing — trauma, safety, energy, breath, and the body's innate intelligence.Key Topics We Explore:1. When the Body Speaks — and No One ListensAmy describes what it's like to experience invisible illness and autoimmune symptoms in a system that only validates what it can measure. This conversation will resonate deeply with anyone who has felt dismissed, unseen, or told “everything looks normal” when it clearly isn't.2. Trauma Isn't Just What Happened — It's the Body's ResponseThis episode gently dismantles the idea that trauma has to be “big” to be real.Trauma can be grief, chronic stress, dieting, emotional suppression, or even daily traffic.The body doesn't distinguish between past and present — or perceived and real threats.What matters is how the nervous system responds.3. Safety, the Nervous System & Why Healing Can Feel ImpossibleSherry and Amy explore why true healing can't happen in fight, flight, freeze, or fawn — and why so many people stay stuck in survival mode for decades.You'll hear how:Restriction (including dieting) can be traumatic to the bodyFeeling unsafe in your body drives self-sabotageThe body prioritizes survival over thrivingAnd why learning to feel safe again is foundational for healing, weight regulation, and emotional freedom.4. Why Awareness Alone Isn't EnoughMany people in therapy develop deep awareness of their triggers — yet remain stuck. Amy explains how repeatedly retelling trauma without engaging the body can actually re-traumatize the nervous system, and why healing must include the physical and energetic body — not just the mind.5. Breathwork: The Most Accessible Healing Tool We HaveBreathwork becomes the heart of this episode.Amy explains why breath is so powerful:It directly regulates the nervous systemIt brings awareness back into the bodyIt requires no equipment, no story, and no perfectionUnlike meditation, breathwork allows movement, sound, emotion, and release — giving the body permission to process what it's been holding for years.6. Energy Medicine, Ancient Wisdom & Trusting What You Can't SeeThis conversation bridges ancient healing systems — herbalism, meridians, energy medicine — with modern nervous system science.Amy shares how combining:Plant medicineEnergy medicineBreathworkTrauma-informed supportcreated the breakthroughs that traditional medicine never could.Powerful TakeawaysYour body is not failing — it's communicatingTrauma is stored energy that needs movement, not suppressionHealing requires safety, not forceThe body leads; the mind followsSimple tools can create profound shiftsYou don't need to be “fixed” — you need to be supportedClosing ReflectionHealing isn't about arriving at a destination — it's about learning how to meet yourself with awareness, compassion, and trust.As Amy reminds us:“As long as you're in a physical body, healing is part of the journey.”This episode is an invitation to stop outsourcing your power — and begin listening to the wisdom that's been within you all along.

Send us your desired health topic or guest suggestionsA blank page can feel like a cliff edge—especially when your life has been torn open by loss. Author and coach Marie Crews joins us to share how a simple, structured journaling practice helped her survive her son's death and uncover a grounded path back to connection and peace. What started as morning pages became a reliable dialogue with a wiser voice, one that didn't sugarcoat the pain but expanded the story with context, compassion, and courage. We walk through Marie's four-step method—Reveal, Review, Rewrite, Rewire—and why each phase matters. The reveal is raw truth without censorship. The review identifies pain points and beliefs that keep suffering in place. The rewrite offers a kinder, reality-based narrative that includes your limits and strengths. And the rewire uses rehearsal and witnessing to turn insight into a new nervous system pattern. This is trauma-aware, practical, and deeply human work that serves divorce recovery, creative blocks, midlife shifts, and profound grief. Marie also opens the door to her retreats, including specialized gatherings for mothers who have lost a child. In those rooms, validation becomes medicine and connection becomes a bridge to ongoing bonds that don't violate faith traditions or demand a specific spiritual label. We talk about identity shifts, self-love as a daily practice, and why the answers we chase are already inside us—waiting to be revealed on the page. If this resonated, share it with a friend who needs hope, subscribe for more conversations like this, and leave a review to help others find the show.You can find Marie Crews at:Website - https://www.mariecrews.com/ Please Follow and Review this podcast if you would like to support the growth of this show.

A Chanukah celebration at Bondi Beach turned into a scene of terror.   In this episode of the Meaningful People Podcast, we sit with a father and community leader who survived the Bondi Beach terror attack. His children were nearby. What he first thought were fireworks quickly became gunshots. Within moments, people were running, hiding, and falling.   He shares, in real time, what it was like to be there: – realizing the danger – hiding with his daughter – searching desperately for his son – trying to help the wounded while protecting his child   This conversation was recorded shortly after the attack, while the pain was still raw. It is honest, emotional, and unfiltered.   We also speak about what came next. Lighting the menorah that night. Explaining fear to children. Holding onto faith and responsibility when everything feels shaken.   This episode is not about headlines or politics. It's about survival, parenthood, community, and choosing light in the aftermath of terror.   Our hearts are with all those affected by this attack, including the family of Rabbi Elie Schlinger, a beloved husband, father, and community leader who was killed. A link to support the Schlinger family is included below, as mentioned in the episode.   If this story resonates, please consider sharing it.   Support the Schlinger family: https://www.charidy.com/elischlanger/613Help?utm_source=15mp

This week’s guest is Theo Pratt, survivor of Gloriavale, an isolated Christian cult hidden deep in rural New Zealand, and author of Unveiled: A Story of Surviving Gloriavale. She’ll talk about being raised on the strictly controlled commune where people were assigned new names, women wore identical dresses and head coverings, and children weren’t taught the real days of the week—or even where they were in the world.Theo shares about the leader Neville Cooper’s self-proclaimed divine authority, how “smacking ladies” kept the kids in line—and guards kept the compound controlled, and her rebellious streak that led her to planning an escape attempt on a tandem bicycle. And of course, the moment she realized she couldn’t stay, and what it felt like to step into the outside world she’d been taught would destroy her.
