Shoot us a Text.Episode #1102: Today, we're unpacking the Detroit 3's tariff turmoil with Japan, exploring how "Auction 2.0" is reshaping used-car sourcing, and tracking Delta's AI-driven pricing turbulence as Senators demand answers. The U.S. automakers GM, Ford, and Stellantis are pushing back against a new trade deal lowering Japanese auto tariffs to 15%, while tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports stay at 25%. The Detroit 3 warn this imbalance threatens U.S. auto jobs and industry.Matt Blunt of the American Automotive Policy Council says any deal that favors Japanese imports over high-U.S.-content North American vehicles is “a bad deal for U.S. industry and auto workers.”President Trump boasts of a “massive deal” with Japan involving $550 billion in investments and tariff cuts, calling it a historic win for U.S. automakers.Details remain murky on whether Japanese cars and parts will get carve-outs from existing tariffs; the deal comes as Trump threatens to hike tariffs on Mexico and Canada.U.S.-Japan talks included Japan's chief trade negotiator meeting Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who says negotiations are “going very well.”Japanese automakers continue investing in U.S. production, with significant commitments from Isuzu and Toyota, aiming to boost local manufacturing despite tariff concerns.According to recent data from Cox Automotive, NADA, and BCG, the traditional used-car auction model is failing franchised dealers due to rising fees, transport costs, and poor condition reports. Dealers are shifting fast to private-party acquisitions (PPA), creating a more local and cost-effective supply.Auction-sourced dealer inventory fell from 27% in 2019 to 18% in 2023, while private-party sourcing grew from 10% to 15%.Buy fees have increased by about 50%, transport costs are up roughly a third, and lane prices remain inflated, squeezing dealer margins.The Manheim Index peaked at 234 in early 2023, but lane conversion rates dropped to 58-64%, below the 70% pre-pandemic norm.NADA projects private-party sales will hit 40% of the used market by 2025, signaling a permanent market shift.According to Sen. Ruben Gallego and other senators, Delta's new AI-based ticket pricing strategy could unfairly hike costs based on individual passenger data. Senators worry this could squeeze consumers financially during tough economic times.Senators are demanding clarity on what data Delta uses and how widely the AI pricing will be implemented, currently 3% but planned for 20% of routes by year-end.Delta says the AI tech streamlines longstanding dynamic pricing and denies using personal data for individualized offers.Critics worry AI could push prices to each consumer's “pain point,” risking predatory pricing amid inflation pressures.Delta preJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

In this episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I unpack how something as small as a single tooth can ripple through the entire nervous system and impact everything from movement quality to emotional regulation.You'll hear my traumatic dental experience that helped me understand how clenching patterns are tied to much more than the jaw.  Clenching isn't just a bad habit, it's a signal from the brainstem, often tied to unresolved stress, nervous system dysregulation, and patterns we're not trained to look for.I discuss how stress, fear, and past procedures can affect cranial nerve input, especially through the trigeminal nerve, as well as the role of the reticular activating system and the tentorium play in influencing full-body tone. I also talk about why I'm cautious with dental work during an athlete's season, what to look for in clients who might be clenching, and how you can support the system with simple tools or even just listening better to what the body is trying to say.If you've never considered how a tooth, or the nervous system's response to it, might be impacting your client outcomes, this episode is for you.Resources Mentioned In This EpisodeEpisode 28: The Power Of The Trigeminal NerveEpisode 38: Accessing The Parasympathetic Nervous System Without Focusing On Breath!Episode 41: 3 Powerful NervesEpisode 70: How The Trigeminal Nerve Could Supercharge Your PracticeEpisode 86: Decoding The Nervous System For Health ProsTreatment Video: Root of Tongue Self-MassageLearn the LTAP™ In-Person in one of my upcoming coursesConsidering the viscera as a source of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction is a great way to ensure a more true whole body approach to care, however it can be a bit overwhelming on where to start, which is exactly why I created the Visceral Referral Cheat Sheet.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. VP Dhankhar Resigns, Citing Health In a surprising political turn, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar resigned from office on Monday, citing medical reasons and the need to prioritize health. The resignation—submitted under Article 67(a)—was effective immediately. In an emotional letter to President Droupadi Murmu, Dhankhar expressed gratitude for her support and recalled their “wonderful working relationship.” He also thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Members of Parliament, and the Council of Ministers, calling his tenure “a privilege” during a transformative phase of India's rise. Known for his sharp legal acumen and parliamentary presence, Dhankhar's exit comes at a politically sensitive time, raising immediate questions over his successor. Turbulent Monday for Indian Aviation Monday saw a series of aviation scares across India. IndiGo flight 6E 813 from Goa to Indore reported a technical snag just before landing, but landed safely with all 140 passengers. At Mumbai airport, an Air India flight from Kochi veered off the runway in heavy rain, bursting three tyres and possibly damaging an engine. In Delhi, another Air India flight aborted take-off due to a technical glitch, leaving 160 passengers grounded. All incidents ended safely, but they've reignited concerns around monsoon preparedness, runway resilience, and aircraft reliability amid growing air traffic. China's Giant Dam Raises Red Flags China has begun building the world's largest hydropower project on the Yarlung Tsangpo river in Tibet—just upstream from India and Bangladesh. The $167 billion Motuo Dam is projected to generate 3x the output of the Three Gorges Dam. But India's not celebrating. Arunachal CM Pema Khandu called it an “existential threat,” warning the dam could act as a “water bomb” if water is suddenly released. India's foreign ministry has urged Beijing to respect downstream interests. China, not party to any water-sharing treaty, has promised “no negative impact.” Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma offered a cautious view, saying the river's flow comes from multiple sources and more study is needed. Meanwhile, India is moving ahead with its own buffer dam project on the Siang river. Jane Street Cleared to Trade Again After being barred from Indian markets for alleged ₹43,000 crore index manipulation, US-based hedge fund Jane Street is now back on the NSE and BSE—under tight SEBI conditions. The firm deposited ₹4,843.5 crore into an escrow account, a key requirement from SEBI's 3 July interim order. Jane Street denies any wrongdoing, claiming its trades were simple arbitrage. The return doesn't mean the probe is over. SEBI will continue monitoring Jane Street's trades under heightened surveillance, with a final verdict expected in the coming months. Meanwhile, BSE shares jumped nearly 3%, and unlisted NSE stock saw a surge in demand. Afcons Rides Global Rail Boom Infrastructure major Afcons just clinched a ₹6,800 crore railway project in Croatia, its second big win in a week. The project involves reconstructing a railway line between Dugo Selo and Novska, including electrification and signaling. This follows two Croatian road project wins worth ₹4,535 crore, a ₹700 crore Reliance contract in Gujarat, and a ₹463 crore rural water project in Rajasthan. Despite strong order momentum, Afcons' stock has underperformed since listing in November at ₹426. It now trades around ₹418, down over 10% from IPO and nearly 27% off its high of ₹570. Still, analysts remain bullish, citing the company's execution record and robust pipeline. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Thank you for joining me today and following us throughout Project 23. If you want to know more about this project click the link to learn more and partner with us. Our text today is Mark 12:13-17: And they sent to him some of the Pharisees and some of the Herodians, to trap him in his talk. And they came and said to him, “Teacher, we know that you are true and do not care about anyone's opinion. For you are not swayed by appearances, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not? Should we pay them, or should we not?” But, knowing their hypocrisy, he said to them, “Why put me to the test? Bring me a denarius and let me look at it.” And they brought one. And he said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” They said to him, “Caesar's.” Jesus said to them, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.” And they marveled at him. — Mark 12:13-17 It's a trap disguised as a question. The Pharisees and Herodians, strange allies, join forces to corner Jesus. They ask about taxes. If he sides with Caesar, he looks like a sellout. If he sides against Caesar, they'll turn him in. But Jesus doesn't flinch at their political trap. He asks for a coin, points to Caesar's image, and delivers a mic-drop moment: “Render to Caesar what is Caesar's—and to God what is God's.” They came for a soundbite. What they got was a lesson on image, ownership, and ultimate allegiance. Because the coin may bear the emperor's image, but you bear God's. Jesus isn't just being clever. He's being confrontational. Caesar may own the coin, but God owns everything—including you. You're made in His image. That means every breath, every choice, every allegiance belongs to Him. That's not a political dodge—it's the deeper political tension. It's the political discussion most people won't have. God's image is the greater political image. And no matter where your passport says you're from, His image on your soul demands a higher allegiance. So yes—pay your taxes. Be a good citizen. Honor the laws of the land. But don't let politics become a spiritual escape. Don't let national loyalty replace kingdom loyalty. Because you can't truly render to Caesar what's his unless you've already rendered to God what's His: that's everything. #GreaterAllegiance, #GodsImage, #Mark12 ASK THIS: Why did Jesus ask about the image on the coin? What does it mean to bear God's image in daily life? How are you tempted to give your energy to earthly kingdoms over God's? What would it look like to truly “render to God” what is His? DO THIS: Ask: Am I spending more energy defending Caesar's image than reflecting God's? PRAY THIS: Father, you made me in your image. I don't want to give my loyalty to lesser kings. Help me live in a way that reflects your rule. Amen. PLAY THIS: “No Other Name”

In today's episode, I want to talk about one of my favorite concepts around leadership, personal development, and life in general: tension. It's a concept that I keep coming back to because, for me, it encapsulates so much of what we experience in our personal and professional journeys.I've struggled for years with the idea of work-life balance. For some reason, the term “balance” never sat right with me. The idea of splitting life into neat 50/50 parts felt wrong, like I was trying to force something that wasn't really natural. So, I started thinking, what if work-life balance isn't the answer? What if it's more about tension—living in the space where two things pull at each other and, in that space, we find clarity?Exploring Work-Life TensionWhen I think about tension, I realize it's not just about work versus life, but about any part of our lives that feels like it's pulling us in different directions. We're constantly told we have to choose: Are you going to hustle and be successful, or are you going to rest and take care of yourself?Why does it have to be either/or? Why can't it be both? That's when I started thinking about how tension might actually be the answer. The reality is that life isn't a constant “either/or” situation. There's a lot of gray area in between. It's uncomfortable, but maybe it's where the real growth happens.Living in a World of AbsolutesWe're constantly fed with absolutes. It's all around us: You're either a Republican or a Democrat. You're either a leader or a follower. You're either successful or you're not. It's almost like society wants us to pick a side, and if we don't, then we don't belong anywhere.But what if the truth isn't in picking a side? What if the truth lies in living in that tension between both sides? Maybe it's not about being right—it's about being willing to sit in the discomfort of not knowing all the answers and letting both perspectives be true at the same time.Embracing Discomfort and GrowthI've found that tension can actually be a great source of growth. I know it's uncomfortable, but that tight feeling in your chest when you're pulled in two directions—it's a sign that something powerful is happening. We're all used to trying to avoid discomfort, but what if that discomfort is exactly what we need to push ourselves to grow?Life is both hard and beautiful. We can struggle and still find beauty in the struggle. We can experience pain and loss while also embracing joy. It doesn't have to be one or the other.The Power of Vulnerability and ReconciliationOne of the best examples of this came for me recently with my kids. I lost my patience with them, and in that moment, I felt like I failed. I could have walked away, thinking, I'm a terrible parent, but instead, I chose to go back into their room, apologize, and ask for forgiveness.I could let part of the story be true that I was impatient and frustrated. But what's also true is that I showed up, took responsibility for my actions, and made amends. Both sides of that experience are valid. The tension doesn't have to be negative—it's just part of being human.Balancing Confidence and DoubtThis is where I think the real power of tension comes in: learning how to balance confidence and doubt. We live in a world where we're told we should either be confident or doubt everything, but in reality, I believe that both can exist simultaneously. It's okay to be confident in what you believe and still hold space for uncertainty.When I look at my life, I see both confidence and doubt working together, pushing me forward and keeping me grounded at the same time.The Beauty of Holding Both PerspectivesThere's beauty in holding two perspectives at once. Life can be both difficult and rewarding. Leadership can be both about pushing forward and being vulnerable. Relationships can be both deeply fulfilling and challenging. The beauty lies in finding the balance between both—and allowing yourself to sit in the tension.When we do that, we get a fuller picture of life. We get a deeper understanding of ourselves and those around us. And we get the clarity that comes from seeing things from multiple perspectives.Conclusion So, here's my challenge to you today: Where in your life are you feeling tension? Where could you allow both things to be true at the same time? What if the answer to your current challenge isn't about picking one side but instead about embracing the discomfort of holding both truths together?I want to encourage you to think about that and explore the tension in your life. What if, by sitting in that tension, you can open up to a fuller, more authentic version of yourself?Resources MentionedJoin me for my upcoming leadership workshop at rockygarza.com/confidenceFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rockygarza Key Timestamps00:00 – Introduction to the Concept of Tension00:45 – Exploring Work-Life Tension01:24 – Living in a World of Absolutes02:29 – Embracing Discomfort and Growth04:13 – The Power of Vulnerability and Reconciliation06:18 – Balancing Confidence and Doubt07:45 – The Beauty of Holding Both Perspectives08:40 – Conclusion and InvitationTo join Rocky for his next free virtual event, go to https://rockygarza.com/beyondsuccessSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/trgs/donations

Les Togolais sont appelés à renouveler leurs 1527 conseillers municipaux ce jeudi, mais l'attention est surtout concentrée sur le désormais nommé « Mouvement du 6-Juin » : il a appelé à la mobilisation, aujourd'hui et demain. C'est le dernier rendez-vous en date, rappelle Le Monde Afrique, d'un « mouvement de contestation qui, depuis début juin, défie le pouvoir de Faure Gnassingbé, » articulé autour du rappeur Aamron devenu « la figure de proue » de ce phénomène après avoir appelé à manifester puis avoir été interpellé dans la foulée. Désormais, détaille le Monde, les manifestants « dénoncent pêle-mêle l'arrestation du rappeur et d'autres personnalités critiques, la hausse du coût de la vie (en particulier de l'électricité), et surtout, la récente réforme constitutionnelle » grâce à laquelle Faure Gnassingbé, en lieu et place de président de la République, est devenu président du conseil… « la nouvelle plus haute fonction exécutive du pays, cette fois sans limite de mandats. » Cela fait vingt ans que le chef d'État est au pouvoir – et avant cela, son père, Gnassingbé Eyadema, a dirigé le Togo de 1967 à 2005. Le pays est donc « ballotté depuis presque 60 ans par un régime de terreur de père en fils, » calcule Ici Lomé, selon qui « les différents scrutins, présidentiels, législatifs et autres, ne furent jusqu'à ce jour que de pures mascarades. » Quant aux partis d'opposition, nés dans les années 1990, poursuit le titre, ils « n'ont connu que répressions faites d'arrestations arbitraires (…) dont les auteurs (…) courent toujours. » Pour le site togolais, il n'y a donc pas d'autre issue : « il faut une révolution de grande envergure, comme des jeunes Togolais nous en donnent l'exemple aujourd'hui, pour faire partir ce régime. »  À lire aussiManifestations contre Faure Gnassingbé au Togo: le gouvernement crie à la «tentative de déstabilisation» Il faut dire que les précédentes journées de mobilisation ont été marquées par des violences et les autorités se sont montrées, « impitoyables, » « comme à leur habitude, » estime Le Monde : « la société civile, rappelle le titre, accuse [les forces de l'ordre] d'être responsables de la mort de sept personnes » alors que les autorités évoquent « cinq décès "par noyade" et dénonce[nt] des "tentatives de récupération malheureuses." » Ici Lomé, de son côté, va même jusqu'à parler d'une répression « sauvage. »  On craint donc, dans le pays, que les manifestations des deux prochains jours ne soient encore entachées de sang. Togo Presse note que « le gouvernement, dans ses sorties, rassure la population » avec « des dispositions prises pour garantir des élections paisibles », par exemple la fermeture des frontières. Quant au ministre de la Fonction publique Gilbert Bawara, démissionnaire, mais en charge des Affaires courantes, il défend le gouvernement de toute action disproportionnée dans les colonnes du Point Afrique : « dans un État de droit, l'ordre public doit être préservé, » martèle-t-il, et il faut « préserver absolument cet acquis, » avec « rigueur et fermeté, » tout autant qu'avec « discernement et responsabilité. » Et le ministre appelle chacun à « respecte[r] les règle du jeu démocratique. »  À lire aussiTogo: au moins trois morts et des dizaines de blessés dans les manifestations contre le pouvoir Un mouvement flambant neuf  Et notamment par sa « structure, sans véritable organigramme » qui, selon Le Monde Afrique, « rend ce mouvement plus difficilement contrôlable. »  C'est peut-être d'ailleurs ce que lui reproche le ministre Gilbert Bawara, selon qui « ce ne sont pas des manifestations » et qui assure qu'il y a toujours « de nombreuses activités politiques » dans le pays mais « dans un esprit de respect de cadre réglementaire. » Avec des campagnes sur les réseaux sociaux, des vidéos sur différentes plateformes, et un ton plus radical, le mouvement réussit à faire ce que les partis ne faisaient plus : « mobiliser une jeunesse souvent désabusée par les acteurs politiques traditionnels, » écrit Le Monde Afrique.  Ces derniers n'ont donc plus qu'à s'y faire et « tenter de trouver leur place. » Même point de vue pour Ici Lomé qui constate que cette révolution née sur le numérique est « venue prendre de court une opposition togolaise divisée, vivant au jour le jour, et dont chaque leader essaie de tirer la couverture de son côté. »  Un opposant interrogé par Le Monde l'assure : « si nous convergeons vers le même objectif, alors c'est tant mieux, » et qu'importe qu' « ils [aient] leur stratégie et nous la nôtre. » Mais Ici Lomé n'y croit pas vraiment : « pour l'opposition traditionnelle, (…) il n'est pas question que des opposants invisibles, ‘non professionnels,' (…) puissent lui damer le pion, en réussissant à mobiliser. » Il faudra bien pourtant, grimace le journal, que chacun y mette du sien pour, enfin, « remettre chacun et chaque institution à sa place, pour que le Togo renaisse pour de bon. » À lire aussiManifestations contre Faure Ganssingbé au Togo: le gouvernement lance des mandats d'arrêt contre le M66

Send us a textIn this episode of Hallmark Mysteries and More, Andrea and Eric break down Private Eyes – Season 1, Episode 9: “Disappearing Act”, where nothing is as it seems… especially when a magician vanishes from police custody.We dive into all the reasons this episode felt like a surprise season finale:

Adam Peacock and Alyssa Healy join you to talk about just how good Test cricket is! We look at the historic Australian win in Jamaica - Starc and Boland couldn't miss, Cam Green had a solid series, and the race is on this spring to find Australia’s next opening batsman. We also dive into India vs England and a fiery third Test. Jofra Archer is back, the sledging between the two teams was wild, and Ben Stokes proved once again he’s a warrior. Did India miss Kohli? Was Shubman Gill rattled? We finish with Italy’s World Cup qualification and Heals shares her biggest blow-up.

If you've ever felt dismissed, talked over, or unsure how to handle tense conversations without losing yourself, this episode is for you.More info, ways to connect & resources: https://www.tacosfallapart.com/podcast-live-show/podcast-guests/mark-oconnellIn this episode of Even Tacos Fall Apart, MommaFoxFire sits down with Mark O'Connell, a psychotherapist based in NYC with a background in acting. The conversation centers around how we can communicate with people whose perspectives feel combative or totally different from our own, and why it's important that each of us takes up space and feels seen - even when things get tense.Mark opens up about how his acting experience shaped the way he practices therapy today. He doesn't view acting as pretending but as truth-telling. That mindset carries into the therapy room, where he works to understand his clients deeply, noticing not just their words but the energy behind them. He says therapy, much like acting, is about being fully present, responsive and curious in the moment.One of the biggest takeaways from the conversation is the idea of mutual recognition. Mark explains that it's less about changing someone's mind or winning an argument and more about seeing and being seen. Especially during high-stakes conversations, like the ones we often have with family during the holidays, it's not helpful to go in expecting agreement. What helps more is showing up with vulnerability, stating your truth clearly and being curious about the other person's experience. That's where real connection starts.Mark also addresses how exhausting it can be to try to talk across drastically different realities - like when two people don't even agree on what's true. He suggests setting boundaries where needed and giving yourself permission to disengage if the conversation feels unsafe. But he encourages people not to lose hope. Even when it feels impossible to reach someone, keeping the possibility of mutual understanding alive can be powerful.They also talk about what it means to “take up space.” For some people, that might mean speaking up more. For others, especially those who are already vocal, it might mean sharing vulnerability or emotion - things they usually keep hidden. Mark encourages listeners to notice their own patterns and stretch in whatever way helps them feel more whole.Throughout the episode, there's also a very real, very human tone. They talk about the mental load of parenting, the impact of toddlers on your brain, and how hard it is to balance emotional labor with daily life. Mark mentions how hard it can be to get therapy covered by insurance and stresses that good therapy should be more accessible.The conversation wraps with a wish to throw out the idea that mental health is something you either “have” or don't. Mark wants people to understand that mental health exists on a spectrum, and we're all navigating it. He encourages folks to stop boxing themselves in with labels and instead think about how to stay present, be curious and make room for their full selves.Whether you're headed into a hard conversation, feeling unseen, or just trying to be better understood, this episode is a thoughtful, grounded reminder that communication is more about connection than agreement!

Just got back from three and a half weeks in Europe (still not sure what time zone I'm in), and Aaron Simmons and I dove straight into the deep end of why democracy feels like it's falling apart. We're wrestling with this massive question: what do you do when reason-giving just seems to fail completely - when people either dismiss everyone who disagrees as morally bankrupt, or assume their own views are so obviously correct that any pushback must be irrational? We wandered through everything from whether I should keep eating at this barbecue place covered in MAGA signs (still haven't decided), to how 81% of white evangelicals support the least Christian president we've ever had, to whether Western civilization can survive without its Christian roots, with a delightful detour into heavy metal pit ethics because apparently that's how we process political theory now. The whole conversation convinced us we need more voices thinking about these tensions together, which is why we're launching this Democracy in Tension summit where a bunch of our philosopher and theologian friends will tackle these questions from different angles - because honestly, Aaron and I don't have answers, but we're pretty sure the questions matter enough to keep wrestling with them, even if it makes us uncomfortable about where we get our barbecue. You can WATCH the conversation on YouTube ONLINE SUMMIT:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Democracy in Tension - NAVIGATING THE INTERLOCKING CRISES OF DEMOCRACY AND RELIGION ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Democracy today faces profound challenges – polarization, inequality, populist authoritarianism, and widespread cynicism are eroding the foundations of democratic life.

Rivals dive into the tension between the Lakers and LeBron heading into year 23! Plus, Cooper Flagg at the Summer League and Monty goes over the top 5 lists for NFL, NBA and MLB! Letʻs get after it!

In this episode of the Filmmaker Mixer, we sit down with director George Ellzey Jr. to discuss his poignant new drama Cottage Grove. George shares how the film navigates themes of identity, perception, and emotional vulnerability within a deceptively simple setup. We talk about his creative influences, how the film was shaped in the edit, and what it's like bringing subtle, character-driven stories to life in the indie space.Whether you're a filmmaker, a fan of quiet tension, or just love a good conversation about storytelling craft—this one's for you.

You've probably seen it before—one person gets the miracle, and someone else doesn't. One story ends in celebration, the other in heartbreak. And if you're honest, it's hard not to wonder: Is God playing favourites? Is He even listening? In Part 2 of Miracles: Then & Now, Andy Stanley walks us through a raw and often overlooked tension in the Bible—why Peter lives, but Stephen dies. Why some people are healed while others are left waiting. And what it actually means to trust God when the outcome isn't what you hoped for. If you've ever questioned God's fairness, wrestled with unanswered prayer, or felt like faith was harder than it should be—this message is for you.

Through Scripture, we see that Jesus enters our faithless moments, honors our honesty, and strengthens us even when belief and unbelief collide. Our assumptions may not reflect God's reality, but His presence and promises never fail. In this message, Pastor Michael Chandler shares how God meets us in our doubt, responds to our honesty, and draws us into deeper trust.

This week on PicklePod, we break the news that fully automated line calling is coming to pro pickleball. No more arguments, no more missed calls — just cold, hard tech making the decisions. Finally! Andrea Koop joins the pod to talk about ESPN bringing SportsCenter to the Beer City Open. How did Grand Rapids land the spotlight, and what does this mean for pickleball's mainstream future? We also dig into the biggest on-court drama of the weekend: Jessie Irvin vs. Genie Bouchard. Tension during warmups led to a full-blown walk-off and some major lineup chaos. We have the inside details. Connor Pardoe stops by to explain the new UPA contract extensions, prize money structures, and what the future holds for signed and unsigned pros. Some are calling it smart business. Others aren't so sure. Plus, we get into trade rumors, breakout performances, and which teams are quietly becoming title threats heading into the back half of the MLP season.

How to tell the differenceWhy emotional regulation starts with you, not your teenThe impact of post-COVID loneliness on teen behaviorFriendship drama and social conflict—why it's normal and how to guide without rescuingHow to talk about social media without making your teen defensiveRebuilding trust after big blow-ups or boundary-crossingSmall daily practices to ease tension and build emotional safetyAbout Sheri GazittSheri Gazitt is a certified teen life coach, parenting educator, and founder of Teen Wise, an organization dedicated to empowering teens and supporting parents through the challenges of adolescence.
