Today we will study a parable that seemingly has nothing to do with us. It’s easy to assume Jesus just told this story so the Pharisees who were in the crowd realized how bad they were. But haven’t we learned if Jesus told a story then, it applies to us today? Haven’t we discovered so far in our study of the parables that Jesus’ stories are layers and layers deep? So, as we read this next story, as yourself this question – “Am I faithfully tending what God has entrusted to me in this life?” Remember this is all on lease and God’s going to ask for it back. Even your very life! Matthew 21: 33-45 Now listen to another story. A certain landowner planted a vineyard, built a wall around it, dug a pit for pressing out the grape juice, and built a lookout tower. Then he leased the vineyard to tenant farmers and moved to another country. At the time of the grape harvest, he sent his servants to collect his share of the crop. But the farmers grabbed his servants, beat one, killed one, and stoned another. So the landowner sent a larger group of his servants to collect for him, but the results were the same. Finally, the owner sent his son, thinking, ‘Surely they will respect my son.' But when the tenant farmers saw his son coming, they said to one another, ‘Here comes the heir to this estate. Come on, let's kill him and get the estate for ourselves!' So they grabbed him, dragged him out of the vineyard, and murdered him. When the owner of the vineyard returns,” Jesus asked, “what do you think he will do to those farmers? The religious leaders replied, ‘He will put the wicked men to a horrible death and lease the vineyard to others who will give him his share of the crop after each harvest.’ Then Jesus asked them, “Didn't you ever read this in the Scriptures? ‘The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone. This is the LORD's doing, and it is wonderful to see.' I tell you, the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a nation that will produce the proper fruit. Anyone who stumbles over that stone will be broken to pieces, and it will crush anyone it falls on. When the leading priests and Pharisees heard this parable, they realized he was telling the story against them—they were the wicked farmers. Okay, let’s pull out a few things and apply them to our lives today. The vineyard belonged to the landowner. The farmers were only leasing the vineyard. Notice how much work the owner did before the farmers ever touched the vineyard. He planted it. Built the wall. Dug the winepress. Built the tower. Then he LEASED it to the farmers. They didn’t create the vineyard. They didn’t buy the vineyard. They didn’t make the vines grow. They didn’t own the harvest. They were managers of something that belonged to someone else. And THAT IS US! Your life is a vineyard God has entrusted to you. Your body, your marriage, your children, your friendships, your home, your career, your money, your gifts, your talents, your time, your opportunities … None of it is ultimately yours. It’s been ENTRUSTED to you. Think about your children – are they really yours? Did you knit them together in your womb? Did you create them yourself? Did you design them? Is it you that breathed life into them? No, they are and always have been God’s. He’s entrusted that child to you to raise, to guide, to love. All of this is on lease. God has chosen you to steward what is HIS for the short span of your lifetime. So, Sis – how’s your stewardship going? We’re so quick to ask, “What do I want to do with my life?” But girl, this life isn’t even yours! You’re stewarding this time and these opportunities given to you by God. The question is, “God, what do you want done with what you’ve given me?” Jesus says the Kingdom would be given to those who would “produce the proper fruit.” God isn’t simply looking for people who hang out in the vineyard. He’s looking for fruit. You can be in church and produce no fruit. You can know Scripture and produce no fruit. You can have great success, look incredibly good, be totally impressive and produce no fruit. What fruit are we talking about? Ahhhh yes, remember back to our Fruits of the Spirit study together. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness and self-control. If you’re stewarding the vineyard of your life well, then girl, your life should look different! People should see evidence that Jesus is growing in you! We are not people riddled with anxiety and fear. We are not impatient, irritated, grouchy souls. We are not negative, impulsive or judgmental. NO – that’s not what Jesus grows. The world grows that, but we are called to be different, empowered by the Holy Spirit to produce a radically different fruit in our leased vineyard. My friend, your life is producing something. What is it? Now, this story takes a turn. A turn that is a personal conviction on our tendency to claim “mine.” The farmers eventually say: “Let’s kill the heir and get the estate for ourselves.” They didn’t want to just work the vineyard. They wanted to own it. Dang – don’t we do this? God gives us something to steward and we get all clingy and bratty claiming “mine”. This is my time. This is my money. This is my body. They are my children. These are my plans. This is my life. Here’s the real problem with that – when we start believing it’s OURS, we have a real problem when God asks for his share. And that’s the real heart issue Jesus is exposing in this parable. Where have you taken what God has temporarily entrusted to you, claimed it as solely yours, and now you want to maintain control over it? You’re essentially telling God to stay out of your vineyard, forgetting IT’S HIS! In Jesus’ story of the Evil Farmers, we see the vineyard owner repeatedly sends servants in to visit and collect his share. The tenant farmers reject the servants. So, the owner sends more messengers. Eventually he sends in his son. We read this and immediately know how this plays out. That’s our Jesus. They kill our Jesus. God always knew that would happen. But here we see his patience. He sends messengers and reminders, giving the tenant farmers more time and more opportunities. Oh how God repeatedly comes after us. He sends us just the right sermon when we need it. Just the perfect devotional at the right time. Just the right conversation with the right friend. He interrupts us with his presence. What’s really happening is God is trying to get your attention. He loves you so much that he’s coming at you in every way to send you the message about his vineyard. Hey, this life you’re living belongs to God and he expects you to produce fruit. Again and again, he shows you mercy. What has God entrusted to you that He is now asking you to surrender back to Him? Maybe it’s your time. Maybe it’s control. Maybe it’s your money. Maybe it’s a relationship. Maybe it’s your body. Maybe it’s a gift or a dream that started with God but has slowly become about you. God doesn’t ask you to give Him what He never gave you. He’s simply asking for the fruit from the vineyard He entrusted to you. The religious leaders rejected Jesus. But Jesus says the very stone they rejected becomes the cornerstone. A cornerstone determines the alignment of the entire building. That’s a beautiful picture for us. Jesus isn’t supposed to be an addition to your life. He’s supposed to be the thing your life is built around. Not: “Where can I fit Jesus into my plans?” But: “How do I build my plans around Jesus?” Not: “How can Jesus help me achieve my dream?” But: “Jesus, what dream are You building in me?” God doesn’t give you things so you can possess them. He entrusts things so you can steward them. Everything and everyone you have and love today is on lease from God. You have it for just a little bit of time to care for, nurture, and help grow. What does the owner want you to do with those things today? When you really consider what the owner wants, it changes how you parent. How you spend. How you work. How you respond. How you show up. How you make decisions. WHAT DOES THE OWNER WANT? TEND what God has entrusted to you. PRODUCE the fruit God is looking for. RETURN to God what already belongs to Him. SURRENDER your life to the Jesus. You are not the owner of the vineyard. You are the steward of it. Everything you have is something God has entrusted to you for a season. And one day, the Owner comes looking for His harvest. How different would your life look today if you truly lived like God owns everything and you’re simply his steward? If the Owner walked into your vineyard today and asked for His harvest, what would you have to give Him?

Recebeu prêmios nacionais, como o Açorianos e o Tibicuera, de teatro, e prêmios internacionais, como o Mário Rui Gonçalves Internacional, pelo figurino do espetáculo “Vanessa Quer Voar”, em Portugal.Foi Professor titular e Professor visitante em instituições como UFRGS, Feevale, Senac-RS, Senai-RS, UCS, UCPEL e Univates e, atualmente, é Professor Doutor nos cursos de Design e de Comunicação e Publicidade da ESPM-SP e ministra as disciplinas de Mercado e Produção de Moda; Varejo de Moda e Visual Merchandising; Prototipagem Criativa; Coolhanting; Narrativas de Espetáculos; Moda Autoral; Pesquisa e Tendência de Produto e Semiótica.Release:“O Inspetor Geral”, de Nicolai Gogol, ganhou em 1998 uma montagem radicalmente visual, grotesca e circense através da direção de Zé Adão Barbosa e da Cia. das Índias, em Porto Alegre.A encenação partia de um teatro físico, imagético e de forte construção plástica. A estética do espetáculo buscava um estado permanente de exagero e artificialidade, aproximando-se da palhaçaria, do grotesco e da escultura viva.A cena era composta por grandes painéis pintados manualmente pelo artista plástico Zezé Kronbauer. Esses painéis funcionavam como enormes quadros móveis que criavam diferentes atmosferas e espacialidades ao longo do espetáculo. Para movimentá-los, foi desenvolvido um sistema mecânico rudimentar construído a partir do maquinário de uma máquina de lavar roupas. Em determinados momentos da encenação, os painéis despencavam sobre os atores, provocando instabilidade visual e física, reforçando a sensação de colapso político e moral presente no texto.Outro elemento fundamental da cenografia era um grande sofá multifuncional que se transformava constantemente durante a peça: chaise, mesa, plataforma, cama e estrutura cênica. Esse único objeto assumia diferentes funções dramatúrgicas e operava como eixo central da movimentação dos atores.O figurino, também assinado por Antonio Rabadan, antecipava discussões que hoje se aproximam do upcycling e da ressignificação têxtil.Naquele momento, ainda em processo de descoberta enquanto ator, cenógrafo e figurinista, Rabàdan desenvolveu os figurinos inicialmente como desenhos idealizados. Porém, diante das limitações financeiras comuns às produções teatrais independentes da época, tornou-se impossível executar as peças utilizando materiais novos.A solução encontrada transformou-se no principal conceito do figurino.Junto da figurinista e costureira Titi Lopes, roupas usadas, tecidos domésticos, peças antigas e aviamentos foram completamente desmontados, separados e reconstruídos manualmente para formar novas superfícies têxteis. O processo envolvia desconstruir roupas já existentes para recriar tecidos híbridos que posteriormente davam origem aos figurinos do espetáculo. Antonio Rabàdan recebeu o Prêmio Açorianos de Melhor Figurino pelo espetáculo.Ficha Técnica:Texto: Nicolai GogolDireção: Zé Adão BarbosaMontagem: Cia. das ÍndiasDiretora Assistente: Jaqueline PinzonCenário: Antonio RabadanAssistente de Cenografia: Juliana RivetCriação de Painéis: Zezé KronbauerFigurinos: Antonio RabadanDesenhos de Figurino: Luciana ChavesConfecção de Figurinos: Titi Lopes e Mada OliveiraEnchimentos: Janine GomesChapéus: Juliana KunzBijuterias: Cigana SallyCabeças: Antonio RabadanMaquiagem: Zé Adão BarbosaIluminação: Fernando OchoaSonoplastia: Eduardo ManeraCriação Gráfica: Alessandro SalvatoriFotografia: Myra GonçalvesDivulgação: Renato Campão

Hey friends, Chase here. Every summer, I revisit conversations from the archive that have stood the test of time. Not because I'm nostalgic, but because the best ideas don't expire. They deepen. This is the sixth and final installment of Summer School 2026—episodes I personally returned to most this year when I was stuck, blocked, or facing a very particular need. This one with Elizabeth Gilbert is the closer for a reason. I kept finding myself spending so much time navigating my internal landscape that it felt like it was taking me away from everything I wanted to do out in the world. And then I remembered something Liz said that rearranged the frame: she considers mental health her full-time job. Writing—being a professional creator—is a hobby she does on the side. That line alone is worth revisiting every summer. Liz Gilbert is the bestselling author of Eat, Pray, Love (more than 12 million copies), a Time 100 most influential person, novelist of City of Girls, and the rare creative who can talk about fear, mercy, grief, and truth-telling without flinching—and without performing enlightenment. She's a force of nature. Spend a few minutes with her and you'll know why. In this conversation, she makes the case that the way out of pain is through honesty. That grace can take you places hustling can't. That mercy is the foundation of any healthy creative life. And that you make the world safe for yourself by telling the truth in it. Grace can take you places where hustling can't. Summer School: Elizabeth Gilbert on Truth-Telling, Mercy, and the Art of Being Yourself Liz opens with City of Girls—a novel about promiscuous girls in 1940s New York theater who behave recklessly with their sexuality and aren't ruined by it. A palate cleanser, she jokes, from Anna Karenina: one orgasm and then you're under the train. Underneath the glamour is a deeper subject: how do you become yourself? How do you just be—not a role, not a brand, not a performance of "good girl"? Her aspiration is almost revolutionary: to be the most relaxed person in every room she's in. To show what it might look like for a woman—for anyone—to be at ease in a world of nearly universal anxiety. How do you get there? Not by hustling harder. Through foundational, almost unbelievable honesty—truth to yourself and truth to others. Spending most of the day saying no. Ending the hustle so grace has room to work. Her great love and teacher, Rayya (Ria in the transcript), lived by a line Liz now lives by too: the truth has legs. It's the only thing left standing in the room at the end of the day. Everything else blows up into drama. Since you're going to end up at the truth anyway—why not start there? If you've ever felt that taking care of your inner world is somehow stealing time from your "real work," this episode will reframe that entirely. The care is the real work. What You'll Hear in This Episode Why City of Girls is about becoming yourself—and why "just being" is rarer than we admit Liz's aspiration to be the most relaxed person in the room—and why honesty makes that possible "The truth has legs"—and how Rayya schooled her in radical truth-telling How withheld truth eventually breaks the body and mind—and why die-or-tell-the-truth becomes the only choice Why people-pleasing is really self-protection, not generosity Creativity and fear: being just 1% more curious than you are afraid A working definition of a creative life: decisions based more on curiosity than fear Mercy as the foundation—for self, for others, for the inevitable disappointment of making imperfect work Mental health as the full-time job; writing as the side practice The daily dialogue with Love that has saved her life for 20 years—and why writing slows the mind What to do when you're creatively stuck: walk away and do something with your hands Truth Has Legs Liz is clear: try to have a completely honest relationship with at least one person in your life—and it's best if that person is yourself. When she was younger, she thought she couldn't tell the truth because the world wasn't safe for it. Later she learned the reverse: you make the world safe for yourself by telling the truth in it. Around 30, the first major truth she couldn't say—ending her marriage—nearly destroyed her. Sleep gone. Appetite gone. Twenty pounds lost. Mental health broken. Physical health broken. Die or tell the truth. She finally told it. Instead of killing her, it brought her to life. And if she'd said it two years earlier, it would have been a greater gift to him as well. People-pleasing, in her frame, isn't kindness. It's manipulation for perceived safety. The other person deserves to know who they're actually talking to. And truth-telling isn't a one-and-done graduation. Life keeps offering another chance to be brave. The only way out is through honesty. Do it again. Trust builds. It gets easier—not because the stakes drop, but because you finally believe the method. Rayya's cancer journey deepened this. When Liz couldn't cope by clinging to her partner as salvation, she had to become the steady one. Wisdom she doesn't share, she says, starts to hurt—like unused talent turns into pain. So she shares. Not out of marketing duty to readers. Out of self-preservation and love. Mercy, Curiosity, and Mental Health as the Job Asked for compressed creative advice, Liz answers in one word: mercy. Mercy for yourself. Mercy for others. Mercy for the inevitable disappointment when what you make isn't the tourmaline butterfly you dreamed—when day one excitement becomes day two self-hatred. The only people who get to day three are the people who have mercy. Ann Patchett's image: smash the gemstone butterfly on day one, then make the weird little thing out of chewing gum and baseball cards and twigs—and say, good job, self. No one's ever made one like that before. That's compassion: ending the argument against reality. This is what we've got. Flap flap. A piece falls off. Keep going. On fear, Liz's saving grace is curiosity—just 1% more curious than afraid. That's enough. Her definition of a creative life isn't watercolor class. It's any life where your decisions are routinely based more strongly on curiosity than fear. Then the life itself becomes the work of art. And here's the Summer School lightning bolt: an enormous percentage of Liz's days is spent managing her mental health—the "dysfunctional family" inside her mind. Writing is what she does on the side. She was managing her mental health on the plane that morning. There are very few days off from saving her own life. Her primary practice for twenty years: a daily dialogue with Love (capital L)—writing the words she always wanted someone to say. I'm right here. I've got you. You can't tire me out. Love doesn't need the room to be different. Love doesn't issue a five-point improvement plan. Love is company in the darkest hour. Writing slows the mind enough to receive that. When creativity is stuck? Don't force the tormented artist fantasy. Walk away. Garden. Fix a bicycle. Power-wash a driveway. Get out of your head and into your hands. Inspiration returns after embodiment—not after more self-punishment. Timecodes So You Can Jump Around 00:00 – Welcome and why this episode closes Summer School 2026 04:24 – Liz joins; City of Girls, becoming yourself, and the aspiration to be relaxed 13:32 – Honesty, saying no, and "grace can take you places hustling can't" 15:12 – Rayya, addiction, and "the truth has legs" 19:00+ – The first major truth at 30: breakdown, then coming alive 22:23 – Truth-telling and creativity; Eat, Pray, Love as a story of learning to tell the truth 30:00+ – Rayya's illness, grief, and why unshared wisdom becomes pain 36:14 – Fear, curiosity, and the definition of a creative life 38:51 – Mercy: the foundation (and the tourmaline butterfly) 43:40 – Mental health as the full-time job; writing as the hobby 45:00 – The daily dialogue with Love 51:38 – Scrapping a book, gardening, and what to do when you're stuck 54:21 – Paint bicycles / power-wash driveways: walk away into the present Why This Conversation Still Matters We still live in the anxiety virus Liz named—exported globally, amplified by politics, climate dread, and the demand to be a thing at all times. Creators still treat self-care as optional overhead between "real" output. Hustle culture still pretends grace is lazy. This conversation is the antidote. Mental health isn't what you do after you're successful. It's the work that makes everything else possible. Truth isn't a brand strategy. It's how you stop poisoning your own body with secrets. Mercy isn't soft. It's the only way anyone ever reaches day three. That's why this episode earned the final Summer School slot. The year asked a lot of our inner landscapes. Liz's answer is still the one that helps me return to the world without abandoning myself: tell the truth. Tend the mind. Prefer curiosity over fear. Make the imperfect butterfly. Keep company with Love. Class dismissed—until next summer. Keep Going Deeper If this conversation resonates: City of Girls Big Magic Eat, Pray, Love Liz online: elizabethgilbert.com Follow Liz: Instagram | X/Twitter | Website Questions to Reflect On Where am I hustling for a result that only grace—and honesty—can deliver? What truth do I already know I'm going to end up telling—and what would it cost to start with it? Am I making the world safer for myself through honesty, or waiting for the world to feel safe first? Where has people-pleasing become self-protection dressed up as kindness? In my creative work, am I on day two (self-hatred) or practicing the mercy that gets me to day three? If mental health were my full-time job this week, what would change about how I schedule my days? When I'm stuck, am I forcing the art—or am I willing to power-wash a driveway and return to the present? The Core Idea You don't graduate from truth-telling. You practice it. You don't earn rest by producing enough. You save your own life daily so you have a life worth creating from. Liz's invitation—as the last lesson of this Summer School season—is both soft and severe: tell the truth until the room is safe. Put mercy under every creative attempt. Be just slightly more curious than afraid. Tend the warring neighborhood in your mind like it's the job. Write love to yourself when no one else can hold the need. And when the work won't move—move your body instead. If there's one lesson worth carrying forward from this final Summer School session, it's this: Mental health is the work. Creativity is what you get to do when you've tended it—and the only way out of the hard parts is through honesty.

Você vendeu. Recebeu. Entregou. Fim?Não deveria.O varejo passou décadas concentrando energia em atrair, converter e vender. Mas existe uma parte da jornada que muita empresa ainda trata como “problema do cliente”: o que acontece depois que ele sai da loja.Neste episódio, Caio Camargo e Fred Alecrim discutem como transformar o pós-venda em uma extensão da experiência, do relacionamento e, claro, da receita.Porque pós-venda não é só troca, garantia ou reclamação.É ensinar o cliente a usar melhor o produto. É acompanhar sua experiência. É oferecer manutenção, instalação, acessórios, recompra, personalização e novos serviços. É criar motivos para ele continuar orbitando a marca.E tem uma pergunta incômoda no meio disso tudo:Quantas receitas o varejo entrega para terceiros simplesmente porque considera a venda encerrada?O episódio também passa pelo paradoxo da durabilidade, por cases como Patagonia e Apple, pela importância de comunidades e relacionamento e chega a um caminho prático para o pequeno e médio varejista começar: olhar para os 20 produtos mais importantes da curva ABC e descobrir o que pode acontecer depois da venda.Porque se o seu relacionamento com o cliente termina quando ele pega a sacola e sai pela porta, talvez você esteja deixando dinheiro, confiança e futuras compras para trás.

It can be easy to overlook the importance of our digestion on our hormonal, menstrual or cyclical health... but actually it is foundational.Literally, the foundations of our organs, tissues and hormones are nourished via our process of digestion, and our "digestive fire" -- referred to as Agni in Ayurveda or Spleen yang in TCM -- is the internal warmth that helps us to actually absorb what we eat.We can eat the most high quality food and supplements, but if we are not absorbing and metabolizing it, what good does that do?According to today's guest, acupuncturist and TCM practitioner Helen Spieth, everything from chewing to how we prepare our food to the time that we eat during the day and our nervous system state all have impact on our digestive fire.She shares all about this, including the various organs involved in digestion, the importance of blood sugar regulation, the 24 hour TCM organ clock, intermittent fasting from a TCM lens, and addressing IBS and SIBO within this TCM nutrition framework and more.It's a packed episode with such depth and breadth.

Loneliness isn't just about being alone, it's about being unseen, unwoven, unplaced. This week we name the deep human ache to belong to something larger than ourselves, and ask what it would take to become a community that tends that fire in each other.   LINKS: Keepers of the Fire |  Connect  |  YouTube  |  Coming Up TRANSCRIPT: The Ache This Week I want to describe a feeling and see if you know what I'm talking about: You're surrounded by people— at work, online, maybe even in a room full of friends— and you still feel somehow... unplaced. Like you're present but not quite part of something. Like everyone else knows how to belong and you missed the orientation. Literally happened to me.  That's not just loneliness in the ordinary sense. It's something deeper. The ache to be woven in. To matter to a specific group of people who also matter to you. To not just be known, but needed. Do you know this feeling? Yeah! Today, on this final week of Keepers of the Fire, I want to name that ache directly. Because I think it might be the one underneath all the others we've explored this summer. One thing; this is actually an ache, a yearning that has gotten a lot of attention.  The Epidemic Three years ago, in 2023, the United States Surgeon General Vivek Murthy did something unusual; he issued a formal public health advisory declaring loneliness an epidemic. A crisis. The statistic he cited was that about one in two American adults reported experiencing loneliness— and social isolation increases the risk of premature death by 29 PERCENT. That's comparable to the health impact of smoking fifteen cigarettes a day. We have entire cultural infrastructures built around discouraging smoking. We have almost nothing built around discouraging isolation. And then to make it worse, the money-grabbing internet “manosphere” has very carefully and intentionally targeted young boys and young adult men to believe that they have no agency, and that their feelings of loneliness are the fault of others, like women or the feminist movement! I want to say outright: that's a lie. Loneliness isn't just an issue for boys and men, they've just been most successfully convinced they're especially isolated, and then that false premise has been weaponized against others.  To be clear: loneliness is a problem, but it isn't isolated to a particular group of American adults. Some demographic groups seem to have more access to emotional and relational skills than others… catch my drift? In an interview with Kate Bowler, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy said loneliness is like HUNGER or THIRST— a signal the body sends when something we need for survival is missing. This is biology. We were created— literally, neurologically— for each other. Matthew Lieberman, a neuroscientist at UCLA, found that the brain processes social pain— rejection, exclusion, being cut off— in the same regions it processes physical pain. Being unplaced from community doesn't just hurt emotionally. It hurts, the way a broken bone hurts. So when you feel the ache for belonging— that persistent, restless sense that you're APART FROM something you were made to be A PART OF— your nervous system is telling you the truth. Pay attention to it. Belonging vs. fitting in Just a quick tangent here to say that belonging is not the same as fitting in. Fitting in is when you adjust yourself to be ACCEPTABLE. You figure out what the group rewards, what gets you included, and you perform accordingly. It's exhausting. And it doesn't actually satisfy the ache— because the version of you that got accepted isn't really you. Belonging is different. Belonging is when you show up as you ACTUALLY ARE — complicated, unfinished, uncertain — and find that there's a place for that person anyway. That you don't have to earn your way in or maintain a performance to stay. Loneliness isn't just about being alone. It's about being unseen. Unwoven. You can be lonely in a crowd, in a marriage, even in a congregation— if the version of you that's present isn't the real one. The ache for belonging is the ache to stop PERFORMING and start BEING YOURSELF. Bring your weird into the room. Let that freak flag fly, baby. What the early community attempted There's a description in the book of Acts of the earliest Jesus community that has always struck me as both beautiful and worth taking seriously: 'All those who trusted in Jesus were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts.' Now, I'm not going to tell you to sell everything and move into a commune (this isn't actually a cult!). But I want to linger here for a moment. In the ancient Greco-Roman world, your identity was determined by your bloodline, your ethnicity, your class, your gender. In Greco-Roman culture, people claimed ethnic identity from ancestors— you were literally born into your customs and beliefs. Religion was in the blood. The idea that people from different ethnic backgrounds, different economic classes, enslaved people alongside free people, women alongside men, could gather at the same table as equals— that was radical. Historically disruptive. The earliest Jesus communities articulated a vision— particularly in Paul's letter to the Galatians: 'neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female'— that cut directly against the social order of their world. Now— did they always live up to it? No. The historical record is honest about that. The vision outran the practice, as it usually does. Early Christianity quickly developed its own in-group dynamics, its own hierarchies, its own failures. This is not a fairy tale. But here's what matters: they attempted something the world around them said was impossible. They tried to build a community where the usual sorting mechanisms— wealth, status, ethnicity, gender— didn't get to have the final word. Where the table was wider than the culture thought was reasonable. That attempt— that stubborn, imperfect attempt— became one of the most transformative ongoing social experiments in human history. Not because they got it perfectly right. But because they kept reaching toward a vision that the world kept calling naive.  Sound familiar? We get to be a part of that legacy. I want that for us. What we're up against Cynicism, though, is alive and well. When someone talks about building systems that actually take care of people — a real safety net, genuine healthcare, communities where everyone has enough — they hear: too expensive. naive. Unrealistic. Even the christian-adjacent politicized wing of the American Church has mostly taken that vision and turned it into an afterlife destination called “Heaven” that has little to do with the here and now, and is only attained through perfect behavior and putting up with unjust systems without reacting to it. When someone talks about the kind of belonging where you don't have to earn your place, where you're welcomed as you are regardless of what you produce or contribute— they hear: that's not how the world works. grow up. When someone talks about the vision Jesus articulated… a world where the hungry are fed, the lonely are placed, the marginalized are centered… they hear: nice idea. impractical. The cynics have always tried to be louder than the dreamers. And the dreamers have always been the ones who got anything done. Here's what I've been thinking about all summer, across these six weeks: the barriers to our yearning are real. The barriers to belonging are real. Some of them are structural; the way adult life is organized makes deep community hard to build. The built-in consistent access we had in school doesn't recreate itself automatically. The institutions that used to create connection have weakened. Many only experience anything resembling that kind of connection as a “perk” of staying employed in the same job long enough. But some of the barriers are internal. I think we can say that, without shame.  We wait. We wait for someone else to organize it. We wait for the perfect moment, the house clean enough to host in, the enough energy, the right invitation. We treat belonging as something that should come find us rather than something we actively, courageously seek out... Priya Parker, who has spent her career studying how and why humans gather (The Art of Gathering), makes this point: when the focus of a gathering is on the 'stuff' of the event, we shrink a human challenge down to a logistical one. The mess isn't what keeps people away. The story we tell ourselves about why now isn't the right time— that's what keeps people away. VIDEO: Priya Parker x Ezra Klein on The Art of Gathering Connection takes courage. Belonging takes risk. Showing up and saying I want to be part of something, and I want you to be part of it with me— that's vulnerable in ways our culture doesn't reward. But it is, I believe, exactly what we were made for.  The barrier practice and the vision As I wrap up here— one question. What gets in the way of your own belonging? What keeps you from reaching toward the connection you actually ache for? Maybe it's a wound— a time you tried and got hurt. Maybe it's the pace of your life. Maybe it's the belief that you're too much, or not enough, or that it's too late to start. Maybe it's the persistent, inculturated voice that says: just be content with what you have. stop wanting more. Whatever it is — write it down. Or draw it. Don't overthink it. Just name it. In a few minutes we're going to take those outside to the fire. And we're going to offer them to it as a symbolic act of saying: I don't want this to have as much power over me as it has. I want to keep reaching. Because here's the vision I want to leave you with— the one that has anchored this whole series for me. Ever heard of the book of Revelation? It's at the tail-end of the Bible, and when read literally, it admittedly sounds insane. But it's not a history book, it's a vision, a poem, a love-letter to a Church positioned against empire dominance— and at the end of it, there's an image of the world finally, fully healed. And here's how it's described: 'God's dwelling place is now among the people.' Among the people. The ache for belonging, finally answered— not by escape from community, but by the deepest possible immersion in it. That's the direction the whole story has been pointing. A world where the hungry are fed and the lonely are placed and the fearful are made safe and the weary finally rest and everyone gets to play and purpose gets to flourish— not someday in a far-off future, but here, practiced imperfectly, begun now, by us. The cynics will always call it naive. You know by now I think that's a compliment. The fire in your belly— The Ache— is not a problem. It's a compass. And the world needs more people willing to follow it together, rather than carrying it alone. Tend the fire. For yourself. For each other. For the world that could be. May it be so.

DOWNLOAD 5 DAYS TO LESS STRESS, MORE SATISFACTION HERE   If you've ever wondered, "How can I lead a team at work or run the parent-teacher organization with confidence, yet feel completely at a loss when my child falls apart?" this conversation is for you.   Many of us were taught to solve problems, push through discomfort, and work harder when something isn't going well.

You'll leave with a completely different way of thinking about patience, connection, and why the moments you most want to escape are often the ones your child needs you most.   In this episode, you'll learn: Why high-achieving women often struggle most in motherhood The difference between your achievement brain and your connection brain Why your child's meltdown isn't always a problem to solve How your nervous system shapes your parenting more than any script or strategy Why trying harder can actually make anxiety worse What children really need when they're overwhelmed The difference between being physically present and helping your child feel truly seen Practical ways to regulate your nervous system before responding to your child How to recognize when you've slipped into fix-it mode One powerful question that can transform difficult parenting moments   About Kate Kripke Kate Kripke is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and holds a specialty certification in Perinatal Mental Health.

Do you ever leave a sales conversation wondering what your prospect really meant? Maybe you're trying to interpret an email, guessing why someone asked a certain question, or deciding what offer to make before you've truly understood what they need. As a service-based woman entrepreneur, this is a common place to get stuck. In case you can relate, this episode offers a simple mindset shift that creates more confidence in your sales conversations. Instead of making assumptions, Nikki shares how curiosity, thoughtful questions, and clear invitations create stronger client relationships and more natural sales conversations. The Transformation Before listening, you may find yourself: Wondering what a prospect really means instead of asking. Preparing your offer before you understand what your prospect actually needs. Feeling pressure to have all the answers before the conversation begins. Hoping the conversation naturally moves toward a sale. After listening, you learn how to: Replace assumptions with curiosity. Ask questions that reveal what your prospect actually needs. Guide sales conversations with clear invitations instead of persuasion. Feel calm, confident, and clear because you know what to ask next. What You Learn In this episode, Nikki shares: Why assumptions often get in the way of relationship-based selling. How asking better questions leads to stronger sales conversations. Why a Consultation Map creates more confidence than following a script. The role invitations play in moving someone through the Selling Staircase. How every response, hesitation, and objection provides valuable information that guides your next step. The Ask, Invite, Gather Information, Decide Framework When you're unsure what to do next in a sales conversation, remember this simple process: Ask. Replace assumptions with thoughtful questions that uncover what your prospect actually needs. Invite. Guide the conversation to the next step with a clear invitation instead of hoping they'll naturally move forward. Gather Information. Listen carefully to their response. Every answer, hesitation, objection, or question gives you valuable information. Decide. Use what you've learned to determine your next step instead of relying on assumptions. Sales confidence grows when you stop guessing and start gathering information. A Quote Worth Remembering "It's not your job to persuade someone to buy. It's your job to create a space where an honest answer can be given and a decision can be made." Try This This Week The next time you're preparing for a sales conversation, resist the urge to guess what your prospect is thinking. Instead, use Nikki's framework: Ask one thoughtful question. Issue one invitation. Gather information from their response. Decide what to do next based on what you learned. Notice how much calmer and more confident you feel when you're responding to information instead of assumptions.

Original Post Date: August 2, 2024 === Gospel Matthew 13:54-58 Jesus came to his native place and taught the people in their synagogue. They were astonished and said, "Where did this man get such wisdom and mighty deeds? Is he not the carpenter's son? Is not his mother named Mary and his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas? Are not his sisters all with us? Where did this man get all this?" And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his native place and in his own house." And he did not work many mighty deeds there because of their lack of faith. Reflection In some ways, the kingdom of God is too simple, too natural, too within our own reach. It's not about becoming some spectacular miracle worker or somebody who walks around and heals everyone around them. No, it's about human beings living out their own destiny, becoming authentically who they are. And in that process, aligning their wills to God and doing the most natural thing. Care for people. Nurture people. Tend to their needs. Shepherd them. It is a beautiful image of something that is within our ability to accomplish. Closing Prayer Father, help us to understand the naturalness of your work within us. Give us the hope that comes from knowing that we are moving everyone that we love and know into a deeper understanding of who you are. When we simply will it and want it and desire it. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Pastor Bill Scheer and Dustin Miller have a direct conversation about biblical prosperity, stewardship, peace, and the responsibility that comes with God's blessing.In this message, they challenge the idea that prosperity is simply a dollar amount. Biblical prosperity includes peace, security, growth, control, and the ability to fulfill God's purpose. They also explain why prosperity and stewardship must work together, how the Word of God reshapes our mindset, and why believers are called to build, serve, and advance the kingdom through the local church.Prosperity is not just something to enjoy.

The reciprocal relationship between mindfulness and creativity is fascinating. Sometimes when we're our most tapped in and mindful, we invite in powerful waves of creativity. Other times, when we're out of sync, creative endeavors can be a vehicle for exploration and expression that helps us ease back into more mindful rhythms.   In today's episode I talk with Katy Oberle, a licensed psychotherapist turned Creative Mindfulness Coach and singer/songwriter. Katy is passionate about expanding the definition of mindfulness to include creative, nature-based and embodied practices. She coaches clients to develop their own "brand" of mindfulness that honors their innate creativity, life circumstances, values and goals. Katy believes that when our wise creative spirits come out to play, healing and transformation can happen at all levels.   Katy shares with us what it means to practice mindfulness and some of the benefits that come with it. Additionally, Katy talks about being mindfully creative vs. creative mindfulness, provides advice on how to tap into compassion for ourselves and different ways to be creative.   Katy and I would love to hear your take on creative mindfulness and how you implement it.

Naturopathic oncologist Dr. Nasha Winters on the hidden framework behind hormone chaos, chronic stress, and why your body might be trying to protect you, not betray you — Part 1 of 2If you've ever wondered why your hormones feel completely out of balance despite "normal" lab work, healthy habits, or doing everything you can to feel better, this conversation is going to change the way you think about your health.In Part 1 of this fascinating conversation, I sit down with internationally recognized naturopathic oncologist and metabolic health expert--and stage IV ovarian cancer thriver since age 19--Dr. Nasha Winters to explore one of the most overlooked concepts in modern wellness: your body's terrain.Together, we unpack the surprising connections between chronic stress, gut health, circadian rhythm, loneliness, metabolism, and hormone balance—and why these systems are deeply connected long before symptoms show up on standard testing.The good news? This isn't about striving for perfection.It's about making small, intentional changes that help your body become more resilient, more adaptable, and better equipped for the decades ahead. Because true longevity isn't just about adding years to your life—it's about feeling vibrant enough to fully enjoy them.What You'll Learn:Why "normal" hormone labs don't always tell the whole story.Why the very habits that make you thrive can eventually be the ones that break you.Discover what happens inside your body in the first hour after you wake up, and why it matters more than almost anything else you do all day.Why she rewrote her own framework — discover what made her flip her entire ten-part health model upside down after a decade of teaching it the old way.The "era of despair" your doctor isn't tracking — find out which two surprising causes are driving America's fastest-dropping longevity in the world.The surprising role your gut bacteria play in estrogen balance.Why loneliness can show up as measurable inflammation in your blood work.What "wired but tired" really means—and what's happening with cortisol.How childhood stress may continue affecting your health decades later.Why your body needs to feel safe before it can truly heal.The surprising power of just 10 minutes of morning sunlight.Why blood sugar, stress, sex hormones, and sleep are inseparable.How embracing Samantha's "10% toxic" method can help you build a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle.About Our Guest ExpertDr. Nasha Winters, ND, FABNO, is an internationally recognized leader in metabolic and integrative oncology and a pioneer of terrain-centered approaches to cancer and chronic illness.Diagnosed at age 19 stage IV ovarian cancer— at a time when the average patient with her diagnosis was nearly 50 years older than she was—Dr. Winters has spent more than three decades advancing a systems-based approach to health that explores the connections between metabolism, inflammation, circadian rhythm, environmental health, immune resilience, and emotional wellbeing. She is the creator of the Terrain Ten® framework, co-author of The Metabolic Approach to Cancer and Mistletoe and the Future of Integrative Oncology, and host of the Tend the Terrain Podcast.Connect with Dr. Nasha WintersInstagram: @drnashawintersFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/drnashaincWebsite: https://drnasha.comYouTube @drnashawintersTerrain Ten quiz: drnasha.com/quiz____________________________Get Cleaner, Regulated, Better Supplements for LessDid your last order of vitamins come off a big online overnight shipping platform but you have no idea how long it was sitting in an overheated warehouse?Or maybe those Omega-3's you take are actually rancid but you wouldn't know?That's why I'm excited to have found a platform that is not only efficacious and 3rd-party lab tested, but also regulated to have the ingredients in them that are on the label!And Fullscript has 100+ brands of supplements you may already be taking…only better.

If you've been feeling overwhelmed or isolated, this episode is a reminder that connection is medicine.

Reisen sind Grundlage vieler Bücher des Genfer Schriftstellers Daniel der Roulet. Er hat mehrmals die Schweiz durchwandert, ist zu allen 56 französischen Kernreaktoren und zu Dutzenden Grenzseen gereist. Im Tagesgespräch erzählt er, was er unterwegs über die Schweiz und über Grenzen gelernt hat. Zudem geht es im letzten von drei Gesprächen zum 25-Jahr-Jubiläum des Tagesgesprächs ums Älterwerden, ums Vorbereiten des eigenen Nachlasses und um die Wut, die für den 82-jährigen Schriftsteller nach wie vor eine wichtige Antriebsfeder ist.

Contributor: Meghan Hurley, MD Educational Pearls: What animal is the most lethal to humans?  Depending on how we define lethal, and animal, this answer is actually not straight forward.  Globally and in the U.S. the most lethal animal is humans, accounting for ~436,000 to ~20,000 deaths (homicides) per year on average respectively.  In the United States the most lethal animal is of the Hymenoptera order (bees, wasps, and hornets). It accounts for approximately ~60 deaths per year from anaphylaxis. Globally the number is harder to track, but is estimated between 250–3,800 deaths globally annually.  Globally the most lethal animal is venomous snakes, accounting for between 60,000-150,000 per year (whereas in the United States this number is closer to ~5).  Mosquitos, as a vector however for the pathogens they transmit, out rank all as the most lethal globally (excluding humans).   What are the key take-aways for each insect discussed in this episode? Mosquitos: In the United States, of lesser concern. Can potentially transmit West Nile Virus in the United States. Otherwise, treatment for general mosquito bites is topical antihistamines and over the counter steroid creams.  Hymenoptera order (bees, wasps, and hornets): Distributed throughout the US, and can also live in the ground.  Bees lose their stinger during a sting. Whereas wasps do not and can sting multiple times.  Typically stings are just localized for symptoms (pain and swelling) but can become anaphylactic.  Treat with IM Epinephrine as the first line. Consider bronchodilators from bronchospasms.  Multiple stings (around ~100), can cause end organ damage and rhabdomyolysis outside of just anaphylaxis alone. Require more aggressive management.  Fire Ants: Behave similar to bees (in swarm mentality), but have differing venoms. Can also cause global symptoms. Black Widow:  No deaths from Latrodectus hesperus (Western Black Widow) recorded in the United States. There are 3 deaths globally from widow species. Two from Madagascar, and one from a Mediterranean species of widow. Debate in the toxicology community about use of the antivenom, which may account for more deaths than the bite itself.  Black Widow bites are typically painful. Which is different from bites from recluse species.   Brown Recluse:  Rare in Colorado Typically painless bite, that creates a center necrotic eschar.  Tend to also not be lethal.  Bed Bugs Typically harmless and more of a nuisance to have. Can cause localized infections.  Bite presents in a "Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner" formation (i.e. linear 2-3 or more bites as the bug tracks and feeds on skin).  Will feed primarily on exposed skin. The biggest concern is ensuring no cross contamination from patient to provider or facility.  Bed bug bite delivers a small amount of local anesthetic, which can make them hard to detect.

Part of the Summer 2026 series on "The Garden" from The Garden Church of the Midlands in Irmo, South Carolina.

Summer is a season that invites in lots of play and childlike wonder. For many of us, it's an easier time to be outside and take advantage of simple pleasures like a picnic in the park, swimming or an ice cream cone with the kids. While it's good to cherish all the summer fun, it's also normal to slip out of balance when we detach from our typical routines.   In today's episode, I connect with master acupuncturist, herbalist, Chinese nutritional therapy practitioner and wellness coach Rachel Brumberger to get perspective on honoring our mind, body and spirit by checking in with our evolving needs seasonally. With a little awareness, we're able to be more intentional about staying balanced and well while also enjoying summer.   Rachel runs her own practice in Bethesda, Maryland and hosts UnscRxipted, a podcast focused on healing and wellbeing. She's also an adjunct and clinical faculty member at the Maryland University of Integrative Health.   I would love to know what resonated with you about this episode and so would Rachel!

Learn about the Healing Power of Prolonged Fasting: HEREWhat if the moment that shattered the life you carefully built became the moment that showed you what healing really is?This episode is a little different. Instead of sitting in the host seat, I'm the one answering the questions. My dear friend and colleague, Dr. Nasha Winters invited me onto her podcast, Tend the Terrain, for a conversation that went somewhere I didn't expect.It got honest. It got deeply personal. And it went straight to the heart of why I left a 20-year career as a radiation oncologist at the top of my field and what I found on the other side.I'm sharing it here because I think you need to hear it.We get into something I've rarely talked about in this much depth: a shared death experience I had in 2020 that fundamentally changed me. Not just personally, but in how I understand illness, healing, and what the body may be trying to communicate when it gets sick.If you've ever felt like your diagnosis is something happening to you, this conversation may help you see your body differently.Chapters:04:15 - The Crack in the Foundation06:38 - Sitting With Death08:29 - When the Soul Let Go10:08 - Proof She Could Not Ignore13:16 - Leaving Conventional Oncology14:30 - Why Illness Carries a Message16:30 - Healing the Human First18:41 - Why Fasting Became the Path19:02 - The Four Things Healers Do21:19 - Stop Your World to Heal23:14 - What Happens Inside the Fast24:55 - The Deep Healing After Day Seven27:00 - Refeeding Matters Most32:00 - Why Doctors Feel the System Breaking34:01 - Food as the First Foundation36:13 - The Ripple That Could Change Cancer Care36:50 - Holding Peace While Healing OthersWe also go deep into prolonged water fasting, not as a trend, but as a biological and spiritual tool for healing. I walk through what's happening in the body from the first 36 hours through the deeper work that only begins after day seven. I also explain why fasting at this depth is not something to improvise alone, and why proper guidance and refeeding matter so much.There's a reason I've built my current practice around this work, and it's not the reason most people assume.By the end, you'll understand why the four things I've seen again and again in people who heal are not what conventional medicine ever taught me to look for.Press play and learn why your body was never broken to begin with, and what it may have been waiting for you to understand.Tend The Terrain™ Podcast with Dr. Nasha: https://www.youtube.com/@drnashawintersJoin Dr. Katie's 3-Day Guided Fast, for expert support, daily live calls, and a community to fast alongside: Sign-Up Follow Dr. Katie Deming on InstagramWatch on YoutubeDISCLAIMER: The Born to Heal Podcast  is intended for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for seeking professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

What if feeling better didn't require another routine, another habit, or one more thing on your list, but simply stepping outside?   In this episode, Whitney sits down with Linda Åkeson McGurk to talk about friluftsliv, the Scandinavian philosophy of open-air living, and why it feels so needed right now. This conversation goes way beyond hiking and outdoor adventures. It's about getting outside in small, everyday ways, slowing down a little, and remembering that we don't have to book a wilderness adventure to enjoy nature. Whitney and Linda talk about why so many of us feel overstimulated, disconnected and tired, and how something as simple as fresh air, noticing the weather, or taking a walk can shift the way we feel.   They also talk honestly about motherhood, busy schedules, screen time, work culture, and the pressure to always be doing more. You'll walk away with practical ideas you can actually try, whether you live in a city, have little kids, or haven't intentionally spent time outside in a long time.   If you've been craving more breathing room, more presence, or just a reminder that life doesn't always have to feel so rushed, this one's for you.   Here's what you can look forward to in this episode: What friluftsliv is and why Scandinavians see nature as part of everyday life Why being outside doesn't have to mean big hikes or perfect weather How nature can help with stress, creativity, and feeling more grounded The pressure of modern life, motherhood, and always being "on" Easy ways to bring more outdoor time into your week Why disconnecting from screens can feel surprisingly good Raising kids who feel connected to nature The idea that doing less can sometimes give us more Reflection question to ponder:  Is this how I want to spend my time?

What if the app you have been wishing existed could actually be built by you, even if you don't know how to code? In this episode of The Localist, Carrie Rollwagen sits down with Dan Atchison, the creator of Tend+, an iOS app that helps you tend to the relationships already in your phone. You download the app, pick the people you want to keep in touch with, set how often you want to connect, and Tend+ prompts you when it is time to reach out. Carrie has been using it for months. Here's the twist. Dan is not a developer. He vibe coded the entire app himself, starting over Christmas break when he got bored. Dan talks about how he went from idea to App Store, what tools he used, what he learned the hard way, and why every small business owner should know what vibe coding can and cannot do. Dan and Carrie also talk about what Tend+ is really about. Why proximity used to do the work in our relationships and how that has changed. Why we should tend to people instead of managing them. Why the cost of delivery is directly tied to the value of the message.

Welcome to the Addicted Mind Podcast. Today, we are delighted to bring you the wisdom and expertise of Dr. Adina Silvestri, EdD, LPC as she talks about her research on women seeking addiction treatment.Dr. Adina Silvestri is a licensed Professional Counselor in Richmond, Virginia and the founder of Life Cycles Counseling. One of her specialties is helping women that are struggling with substance abuse recover from shame to find hope and healing.In this podcast, she discussed how it is important to support women with a relational focused treatment approach as opposed to using a confrontational style. She uses the adage, “tend and befriend” when beginning substance abuse treatment for women as she has determined that style helps women decrease the stress hormone cortisol.She also discusses how it is difficult for many women to get support because they are often the primary caregivers for children. The complicated issues around finding child care to allow women to participate in substance abuse treatment add to this difficulty. Often women leave treatment early because of child care issues. This creates a consistent problem with women trying to build a recovery support network.Dr. Silvestri reports that often women are not supported by their partners when seeking help. She reports that it is common for women to be introduced to addictive substances by their partner. She states that getting treatment can often cause relationships to break down as one person seeks recovery and the other does not. This results in circumstances in which partner does not support treatment.She also found in her research that women often put off seeking treatment for approximately four years, adding to the compounding difficulty of getting recovery. Dr. Silvestri encourages all women who are struggling with this issue to reach out for help and tell somebody.Here are some topics discussed in this episode:Barriers to treatment such as child care and pregnancy.Fear of losing custody of their children.A lack of insurance and employment.How women may present differently when starting treatment.The role of shame and cultural stereotypes.The importance of relational treatment when working with women in an addiction treatment program.Domestic abuse and violence.The increased potential for sexual exploitation.Get more information:adinasilvestri.comadina@adinasilvestri.comFollow and Review: We'd love it even more if you could drop a review or 5-star rating over on Apple Podcasts.
