Listen or watch to learn why Vedic Meditation changes the pace of evolution and how real progress often becomes most obvious in daily life.Episode Highlights[00:45] Relax and Enjoy the River[06:34] The First Taste of Transcendence[07:51] Eyes Open, Silence Remains[10:45] Adaptation Is a Hallmark[13:05] Enlightenment Does Not Boost Ego[15:35] Uncontrollable and Unpredictable[18:37] Rapid Recovery and Relevance[19:39] Q - Can non-meditators measure progress too?[20:10] A - Why Meditation Changes the Timeline[23:18] The Direct Route to Transcending[27:04] Q - Can attachment block enlightenment?[27:27] A - Stop Striving, Keep PracticingUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/
Aan tafel deze week: PRO-partijleider Jesse Klaver, LTO-voorzitter Ger Koopmans, hoofdredacteur van Elsevier Weekblad Hella Hueck, investeerder Eva de Mol, vertrekkend vicevoorzitter van de Raad van State Thom de Graaf. Presentatie: Joost Vullings Wil je meer weten over de gasten in Buitenhof? Op onze website vind je meer informatie. Daar kan je deze aflevering ook terugkijken en je vindt er natuurlijk nog veel meer gesprekken: https://bit.ly/buitenhof-14-juni-26 Zaterdag is het grote oprichtingscongres van PRO. Waar staat deze nieuwe partij precies voor? En gaat het de partijleider lukken om het kabinet in de komende begrotingsonderhandelingen naar links te trekken? In Buitenhof: PRO-fractievoorzitter Jesse Klaver. Op 26 juni komt het kabinet met de langverwachte stikstofplannen. Aan tafel: Ger Koopmans, voorzitter van Land- en Tuinbouw Organisatie (LTO). Hij zit in de klankbordgroep van boerenorganisaties en natuurorganisaties die de afgelopen maanden met Landbouwminister Jaimi van Essen heeft overlegd over de te nemen maatregelen. Gaat dit plan voldoende steun krijgen? In spanning werd uitgekeken naar de beursgang van SpaceX. Het bedrijf van Elon Musk beleefde een recordbrekend beursdebuut. Maar is die hoge waardering terecht? En belangrijker: wat zegt deze beursgang over de toekomst van innovatie en de positie van Europa? Daarover spreken we met hoofdredacteur van Elsevier Weekblad Hella Hueck en investeerder Eva de Mol. Ondermijning en bedreiging van bestuurders, gerichte aanslagen op het partijbureau van D66 en politici die beveiligd moeten worden. Wordt onze democratie bedreigd? Vertrekkend vicevoorzitter van de Raad van State, Thom de Graaf, schuift aan.

In this episode, Thom and Sam explore one of the most sobering questions church leaders face: Why do formerly active members quietly disappear for good? After years of research with people who once attended faithfully but haven't returned to any church for at least two years, clear patterns emerge. Most departures aren't dramatic or theological. They're gradual. The post Why Members Leave Their Church and Never Come Back appeared first on Church Answers.

Read transcriptShow Notes This week on MSB, Domon walks into the most obvious trap in history and suffers a series of betrayals that will leave you shocked to your core... or they might have if the opening narration hadn't given the whole thing away! What evil lurks behind the mysterious new Mobile Fighter and its Darkness Finger? Nina and Thom are on the case, but first they have to decide whether it looks more like a moth or a bat. Plus, Rain is holding out for a partner (he's gotta be strong, he's gotta be fast, and he's gotta be fresh from the Gundam Fight), Master Asia needs enrichment in his enclosure, and like a true child of the 90s, Sai Saici prefers video games to exercise. Ready? Go! Mobile Suit Breakdown is written, recorded, and produced within Lenapehoking, the ancestral and unceded homeland of the Lenape, or Delaware, people. Before European settlers forced them to move west, the Lenape lived in New York City, New Jersey, and portions of New York State, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Connecticut. Lenapehoking is still the homeland of the Lenape diaspora, which includes communities living in Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario. You can learn more about Lenapehoking, the Lenape people, and ongoing efforts to honor the relationship between the land and indigenous peoples by visiting the websites of the Delaware Tribe and the Manhattan-based Lenape Center. Listeners in the Americas and Oceania can learn more about the indigenous people of your area at https://native-land.ca/.

Thom's Nutshell: “The promise of perfection is a red herring. Don't be distracted from your pursuit of learning and improving.” Patrick celebrates eight years of sobriety and the gang discusses the importance of honoring recovery milestones. The 5 Points of Balance: Staying clear about our values and worth in the face of criticism (not letting others edit your sense of self). Calming our anxiety and comforting our emotional bruises or trauma. Grounded responding and not overreacting or under reacting when there is tension or anxiety. Confronting ourselves for our own integrity and able to meaningfully endure discomfort for our growth and development. Unhooking self, others and reality from unreasonable expectations.

Jess and Thom begin with a simple observation: most churches still believe in evangelism—but far fewer are organized around it the way they once were. Programs that were once central have faded, and new approaches have emerged, often without the same clarity or consistency. In this episode, Jess and Thom look at how evangelism ministries have shifted over the past three decades—and what those changes mean for churches that want to reach people effectively today. The post How Evangelism Ministries Have Changed in Churches in 30 Years appeared first on Church Answers.
Thom and Jess challenge five assumptions that quietly shape how churches approach evangelism. These beliefs often go unspoken, but they influence priorities and outcomes more than leaders realize. The post Five False Assumptions about Evangelism in Churches Today appeared first on Church Answers.

Episode 78 The Body Speaks in Symptoms — Here's How to Translate ItYou've had the tests. You've seen the doctors. You've been told everything looks normal.But you still feel it — every single day. The exhaustion that no amount of sleep touches. The heaviness in your body that no one can explain. The anxiety humming in the background, the digestion that's always unpredictable, the sleep that happens but never fully restores you.You are not imagining it. You are not broken. And you are not out of options.Your symptoms are not random. They are your body's language — a constant stream of information about what's happening beneath the surface. The problem isn't that the message isn't there. The problem is that most of us were never given the tools to translate it.In this episode of Connecting with the Thom's, Julie sits down with Dr. Thom to do exactly that. They take the most common, frustrating, hardest-to-explain symptoms and show you what the body is actually communicating — and why two specific diagnostics, BIA and HRV, can finally make that language visible.In this episode we cover:Fatigue that sleep doesn't fix — what's actually happening at a cellular level and why rest alone will never be enough to resolve itThe puffiness, heaviness, and bloating nobody can explain — what your body's fluid balance is telling you about inflammation you likely didn't know you hadAnxiety with no cause, sleep that doesn't restore, and digestion that's always off — why these three things are almost always the same problem wearing different masksThe questions to ask your health practitioner to move the needle and finally get answers — including what most appointments never have time to exploreThis episode is for you if:Your labs are normal but you still feel terribleYou've tried many approaches and nothing seems to holdYou feel like your body is overreacting to everything — stress, food, treatment, daily lifeYou've been exhausted for so long it's started to feel like just who you areYou want to walk into your next appointment knowing exactly what to askYour body has not been failing you. It has been talking to you.This episode will help you start to understand what it's been saying.

What if post-traumatic stress disorder, PTSD, is shaped not only by what happened, but by how much adaptation energy we had when it happened? In this episode, Thom explores stress, premature cognitive commitment, and why seemingly unrelated triggers can keep past overload alive in the nervous system. Thom also explains how Vedic Meditation helps dissolve accumulated stress and responds to a follow-up question about past-life trauma and karma.

In this episode, Jess and Thom address one of the most overlooked challenges in the church today: the gap between belief and action when it comes to inviting others. Most church members love their church—but they rarely invite anyone to attend. Jess and Thom explore why this gap exists, what holds people back, and how leaders can create a culture where invitations become natural, consistent, and effective. The post The Invitation Gap: Why Your Members Aren't Inviting Others appeared first on Church Answers.
In this episode, Jess and Thom challenge a common assumption in church leadership: that struggling churches need a better vision. In reality, many churches already have a clear vision—but they lack the systems to follow up with the people God is already sending their way. Jess and Thom walk through how ineffective or inconsistent follow-up is one of the biggest reasons churches fail to retain guests, and they offer simple, practical steps to close that gap immediately.

Thom's Nutshell: “Recipe for peace of mind: KNOW what you believe. KNOW what is important. KNOW what is within your control. LIVE congruently with what you believe.” Thom and Patrick discuss “the upside of addiction” (as a means of climbing out of it), emotional sobriety and relationship struggles, using during therapy, and approaching addiction as a binary choice between life and death.

In this episode, Jess and Thom take on a topic that may sound counterintuitive: the danger of a big vision. We both believe vision matters—but we've also seen how it can quietly become a distraction. Too many church leaders spend time talking about where they want to go and not enough time taking the next step to get there. We'll walk through how big vision, when not grounded in action, can actually slow a church down—and how to refocus on the simple, practical steps that lead to real progress. The post The Danger of a Big Vision appeared first on Church Answers.
Jess and Thom have both seen it again and again: churches that are incredibly busy but not particularly effective. In this episode, we talk candidly about the hidden cost of busyness in the church. Full calendars and constant activity can feel like signs of health, but they often mask deeper issues of focus and clarity. Together, we'll explore why doing more is not the answer—and how simplifying ministry can actually lead to greater impact and renewed energy.

Thom discusses with author, lawyer, and journalist, Judd Legum, about the apparent large network of prominent regional newspapers that have posted thousands of low-quality articles promoting gambling and prediction markets. Also, why are these preachers anointing a strongman and why won't Trump drop his Greenland obsession?

For decades, 11:00 a.m. was the “sacred hour” of church life—the assumed, unquestioned start time for Sunday worship. But that era is fading fast. In this episode, Thom and Sam unpack the data and on-the-ground observations showing how churches are rethinking when they gather. From earlier services to multiple options to non-Sunday gatherings, flexibility is replacing tradition. What once served an agrarian culture no longer fits modern family rhythms. Growing churches are adapting their schedules to remove barriers and create more on-ramps for attendance. The post Are Sunday Morning Service Times Changing?
