Podcasts about Threshold

Thresholds and portals aren't just witchy buzzwords, they're happening all around you, every single day. In this episode of Stay Magic, Sara Walka breaks down what thresholds and portals actually mean, why this post-Yule, pre-New Year liminal space is so potent, and how to stop sleepwalking through the crossings of your life.Whether you're walking through a doorway, making a decision, or standing at a life-changing moment, this is your invitation to bring presence, intention, and a little magic to the in-between.In This Episode:What is a threshold?A threshold is a crossing - the moment you move from what was to what will be. We experience thresholds constantly: walking through doors, making choices, entering new life phases like marriage, divorce, birth, death, or identity shifts. Most of us rush through them without stopping to honor what we're leaving behind or consciously choosing what we're stepping into.What is a portal?If a threshold is the crossing, a portal is what happens during the crossing. It's the liminal, in-between space - one foot here, one foot there - where everything feels a little blurry, a little suspended. Think of labor before birth, the swirl before a wedding, or right now: the days between Yule and New Year's when time itself feels mushy.Why does this matter right now?We've just crossed the Winter Solstice threshold, and we're sitting in portal energy until we fully step into the new year. This is the perfect time to shake out your energy, reflect on what was, and consciously choose what's next—instead of just floating through.How can I bring magic to thresholds and portals?Start by noticing them. Pause at doorways. Honor what you're leaving behind before stepping forward. Use this portal time to let your energy settle, see what shakes loose, and approach the new year with intention rather than autopilot.Timestamps:0:00 – Welcome + Merry Christmas!1:15 – What is a threshold?3:42 – Everyday thresholds you're missing5:30 – What is a portal?7:18 – How portals show up in life (birth, death, marriage, right now)9:45 – What to do in a portal (hint: let it vibe)11:30 – Why this matters for your magic13:00 – Enchanted Journey Membership: Thresholds & Portals theme for 202614:15 – Your invitation for this portal timeJournal Prompts for This Portal Time:

The Capricorn Solstice opens a quiet, powerful gateway as the year exhales and the light turns once more. In this episode, Deb peers into the deeper currents already stirring for early 2026, a future shaped by the rare meeting of Saturn and Neptune in an uncharted place of the zodiac — a convergence that asks us to reimagine structure, faith, and the very shape of reality. In the days ahead, Venus drifts into a dream-woven dance with Neptune, softening the field, before leaving the untamed fires of Sagittarius and crossing the threshold into the ancient, earthen wisdom of Capricorn. This is a moment for listening, sensing, and aligning with what is quietly forming beneath the surface. Join Deb on The Golden Astrologer Podcast and step into the Solstice portal.

In this episode of the Moral Imagination Podcast I speak with Magatte Wade about her book, The Heart of Cheetah, her personal journey, entrepreneurial ventures, and her vision for a free and prosperous Africa. Magatte was key voice and important influence in the film I directed, Poverty, Inc. She is a force for promoting freedom, the dignity of the person, and entrepreneurial solutions to poverty in Africa and throughout the world. I've know Magatte for many years and am delighted to have her on the podcast. We discuss the misconceptions surrounding African poverty and the need for economic freedom and institutions of justice – private property, rule of law, and ability to participate in the formal economy - for fostering opportunity and human flourishing for the poor. At the end of our conversation we also talk about poverty in America, the American dream from the perspective of an immigrant, emphasizing the need for a balance between material prosperity and moral values. Magatte emphasizes that Africa will only thrive through entrepreneurship, political and economic freedom, and a commitment to rule of law and human dignity.Biography Magatte Wade is founder of SkinIsSkin, and Senior Fellow at Atlas Network, the leading organization of African free-market think tanks. She was listed as a Forbes “20 Youngest Power Women in Africa,” a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum, and a TED Global Africa Fellow.

In this episode of our Defensible Decisions podcast, shareholders Scott Kelly (Birmingham) and Chris Near (Columbia) unpack the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs's (OFCCP) updated jurisdictional thresholds for Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act (Section 503) and the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA). Effective October 1, 2025, basic coverage thresholds increased to $20,000 under Section 503 and to $200,000 for coverage and Affirmative Action Plans (AAPs) under VEVRAA. The speakers discuss how these inflation adjustments by the Federal Acquisition Regulatory (FAR) Council affect AAPs for contractors holding prime and necessary sub-awards, as well as ongoing compliance obligations for covered contractors such as job postings, self-identification, outreach and recruitment, and accommodation processes.

This final episode of 2025 reflects on a year of transitions and healing, focusing on themes of intergenerational trauma, collective grief, and social justice, especially in the context of the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Through diverse voices including Dr. Gabor Maté, Naomi Klein, Rabbi Lynn Gottlieb, Ashira Darwish, Omid Safi, Kazu Haga, and others, the episode delves into personal and collective fields of healing. It emphasizes the importance of remembering, ritualizing healing, community action, indigenous knowledge, and a para-politics of grief and relationship.

Welcome to Episode 1 of Crossing Thresholds: Religion, Resilience & Migration, a special mini-series of Walk Talk Listen produced by the Joint Learning Initiative on Faith & Local Communities (JLI). This series brings to life new research on climate change, faith, and human mobility from JLI's recently published Climate, Faith & Migration report, developed in collaboration with Christian Aid.   In this opening conversation, Maurice Bloem speaks with Vera Solovyeva, an Indigenous leader and researcher from the Sakha Republic in Siberia. Vera introduces the cosmology of the Three Worlds and the Three Souls, a worldview that shapes identity, responsibility, and resilience for her people. She reflects on ecological imbalance, cultural pressure, spiritual loss, and the deep relationship between people and land. Vera explains how indigenous knowledge systems guide communities in responding to climate change, not only as practical adaptation strategies, but as living expressions of culture, faith, and belonging.   This episode sets the tone for the series by connecting lived experience with evidence, showing how global research findings are rooted in real stories from the frontlines.   Learn more: The full Climate, Faith & Migration report by JLI and Christian Aid is available here.   Listener Engagement: Learn more about Vera via her Instagram account Share your feedback on this episode through our Walk Talk Listen Feedback link – your thoughts matter!

Jordan Raynor is a bestselling author, serial entrepreneur, and the Executive Chairman of Threshold 360, a venture-backed tech company. A sixth-generation Tampa native, Jordan has built and exited multiple startups, served in the political arena, and now devotes his life to helping Christians connect the gospel to their everyday work. Through his books, podcasts, and speaking, Jordan's mission is to equip believers to see their daily tasks, whether in tech, teaching, or making coffee as sacred and significant. In this rich and thought-provoking episode of The Wow Factor, Brad sits down with Jordan to explore the turning points of his life—from a teenage campaign manager to a tech founder, and ultimately, a writer and teacher helping others redeem their time and purpose. Jordan shares how a pivotal post-church conversation reframed his view of work, the journey behind his first book Called to Create, and why the gospel speaks to spreadsheets and startup culture just as much as sermons. They dive deep into time stewardship, distractions, work as ministry, and the countercultural freedom that comes when you stop chasing your bucket list and start living for eternal impact. "God cares about the work itself, not just the evangelism you're doing within it or funding through it." - Jordan Raynor "For the Christian, nothing is secular and everything is sacred." - Jordan Raynor "You are not the savior of the world, and neither am I, and that is terrifically freeing."  - Jordan Raynor This Week on The Wow Factor: Growing up in Tampa and discovering politics through a middle school teacher Why Jordan walked away from politics after a White House internship How a mentor's honest question redirected his entire career The biblical foundation for why all work matters to God Why the idea of "secular work" is a false divide The powerful message of Jordan's first book, Called to Create How Jesus' life as a carpenter reframes how we think about "sacred" work Jordan's framework for stewarding time based on Jesus' own rhythms Practical ways to reclaim your attention and avoid "infinity pools" of content Why Jordan completely cut out the news—and didn't miss a thing Insights from his bestselling book Redeeming Your Time How he and his family prioritize presence by setting phone boundaries The impact of internships on Jordan's early career trajectory Why bucket lists can become burdens—and what Jesus offers instead How Randy Alcorn and C.S. Lewis have influenced Jordan's theology of eternity Why Jordan's next book will focus on setting goals the way Jesus did Jordan Raynor's Word of Wisdom:If you don't have a relationship with Jesus, generosity won't make much sense. At best, it's PR or a feel-good move. But once you realize He gave everything for you, the only logical response is to spend your life giving your time, your money, your presence, everything in return.

Send us a textAs the year draws to a close, co-hosts Belinda Liu and Omar Brownson invite us into a rare and honest pause — one rooted in winter, vulnerability, and the courage to rest inside the practice.Recorded from two very different journeys — Belinda traveling through Prague, drawn by its alchemical history and mystery, and Omar returning from a weeklong Loving Kindness retreat — this final episode of the year reflects on what it means to step back in order to truly listen. When the world feels loud, accelerated, and uncertain, how do we remember what actually matters?Joined by longtime friend and teacher Dr. Paul Wang, the conversation unfolds as a winter council — a space for reflection, truth-telling, and reorientation as one cycle closes and another begins.Through stories of intentional travel, retreat, loving-kindness practice, and creative transition, this episode explores a central question:How do we pause without disappearing — and rest without abandoning what we love?Together, they explore:❄️ Winter as a practice of retreat, remembrance, and re-centering

The Winter Solstice is not just the longest night of the year, it is a threshold. In this episode, we explore the quiet, often uncomfortable space between endings and beginnings. The place where something has finished its work, but what comes next has not yet taken shape. Using the language of nature, we reflect on why releasing can feel so unsettling, especially when our culture offers little ceremony for endings. We also weave in perimenopause as a powerful threshold season in a woman's life: a time when the body often knows before the mind that something must change. Energy shifts. Tolerance narrows. What once felt sustainable no longer nourishes the roots. This episode is an invitation to listen to your body, your intuition, and the subtle signals that something is ready to be released.

We are still recovering from the laughs at the end of this episode! Before getting to that story, this one had a great training discussion on improving threshold performance. We dug down into why it's more complex than just doing threshold workouts, and how you can put it into practice.There was also a new study on VO2 and its relation to aerobic and lactate thresholds. We broaden it out to address recent conversations on VO2 and longevity. David went for a joke that almost ended the podcast altogether. You know, the usual.And this one was full of great topics! Other topics: the hot tub science experiment, Megan's inclusion on the Singletrack list for course records of the year, the most hilarious year-end list, David's fueling realization, the continuation of the shoe saga, a study on breakfast and metabolic health, the Roast My Strava app, self-care gifts, how to run strides, peeing in longer races, overpronation and shoe choices, dressing in winter, rowing as cross-training, and the most beautiful Listener Corner message.It ended with a story that we have been holding in for a full year.

Most of life's most significant moments happen on the other side of a door—and Jesus says, “I am the door.” In week two of Open Heaven, Pastor Eric shows what it actually looks like to live under an open heaven through the stories of Nathanael and Stephen: believing God is still transforming lives, and learning to join, pray for, watch for, and celebrate God's work in ordinary places. Because heaven is open, ordinary moments can become an extraordinary life.

The nights grow longer and longer, and the days are dim. Samwise awakens at dawn and turns his face toward the dark East, imagining, somewhere far away, a sun still lifting itself over green hills, lighting the faces of all those he has left behind. Rosie Cotton smiling into the morning. The Shire breathing, warm and alive.But here, at the Threshold of Mordor, there is no dawn to break the long dark. Frodo is fading. Slipping further from himself with every step and the old certainties no longer hold. Sam has followed faithfully across half the world. Now the path ahead asks something different of him. He can no longer simply follow. The question is sharper, heavier: can he choose? Can he lead?In this episode of For the Shire, we invite Samwise Gamgee to sit down for a Tarot reading at the edge of all things. Together, we explore the weight of responsibility when love and duty pull in different directions, and what it means to stand still long enough to truly decide. We trace the tension between heart and mind, between feeling what is right and thinking what must be done. And, the cost of holding both at once.What does it take for a gardener to become a guide? What inner fire stirs beneath Sam's quiet devotion, and what kind of strength emerges when celebration, companionship, and hope are no longer behind him, but ahead?This reading asks how Sam might step into agency without losing tenderness, how he might act without becoming hardened, and how, when the road seems blocked and the way unclear, he might remember to reach not only for Frodo but for his own sword.Love the pod?

Welcome back to Behind Greatness. We speak with Lisa who joins us from her new abode in Emerald Isle. Lisa is the author of Words at the Threshold. Her book is a fascinating compendium of 7 years' research on (and collection of) people's last words. We are charmed by Lisa's casual and playful demeanour from the get-go. We learn about her research, her own deeply personal experiences with dying loved ones and the emotional wisdom of a particular fireman who helped save a moment. Lisa shared with us her ideas about the consensuality of language, humour in dying, the openness and curiosity of our former childhoods that help to book-end – and Herb. The conversation reaches new depths, touching upon Lisa's personal experience with a certain kind of evil that we started to cover in the previous episode with Alex … and what Lisa has found with the unravelling of speech.   My modality is broken. Wow.   Episodes mentioned: Dr. Bruce Greysen (ep 69) re NDE research, Rey Hernandez (ep 153, 154) re modalities, Alex Gomez-Marin (ep 224), Emmeline Villar (ep 173).   Lisa, ·       Website: https://www.finalwordsproject.org/ ·       Book: Words at the Threshold: What We Say as We're Nearing Death - https://www.amazon.com/Words-Threshold-What-Nearing-Death/dp/1608684601/ref=sr_1_1?crid=NE8R7WK669EI&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.SxBuIw0YM55aV-Q6BRZ-wj2FO3qssGQ1A1Yvl6UOatrvjCLHQpYkH7DfMOBs5dPE-84vsFaW-S_NcOirrDCH-FgKwjipxojuqQqCy5nRMHs0IZ4IxCFKPqLkJXA4i_iJwpANASfHo13qLJajDT6rnXGFrEY0ROAkDxQNKpFOFn9AaAi9uIIZpkVesPn7D2qT.H1Js2OEmpHy7WdRBXncQaVY2u5vu9a8nDIagB6C4qWE&dib_tag=se&keywords=lisa+smartt&qid=1765497528&sprefix=lisa+smart%2Caps%2C172&sr=8-1   Book mentioned: ·       Final Gifts: Understanding and Helping the Dying - Callaghan, Maggie; Kelley, Patricia: https://www.amazon.com/Final-Gifts-Understanding-Special-Awareness-ebook/dp/B005UDIC3E/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3TS5F8EG1IJ7E&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.dDmAgW1pouc6U81D-LheBQ.h_lFExdSCcnEuB631eybIfS44fI2ZHc8l8LOzLUwgHU&dib_tag=se&keywords=Final+Gifts%3A+Understanding+and+Helping+the+Dying+-+Callaghan%2C+Maggie%3B+Kelley%2C+Patricia&nsdOptOutParam=true&qid=1765497462&sprefix=final+gifts+understanding+and+helping+the+dying+-+callaghan%2C+maggie+kelley%2C+patricia%2Caps%2C109&sr=8-1 To give to the Behind Greatness podcast, please visit here: https://behindgreatness.org.

Chapter 9, "The River" explores the relationship between imperialism, post-colonialism, the regulation of voice, and the construction of modern endurance sports science and theory.Rather than treating physiology as a neutral body of knowledge, this chapter examines how authority in endurance culture is produced, protected, and enforced. It traces how certain ways of speaking about the body came to count as scientific, while others were dismissed as subjective, anecdotal, or unserious. The result is not just a training paradigm, but a hierarchy of legitimacy that determines who is allowed to speak, what kinds of experience are trusted, and which explanations are permitted to stand.Chapter 9 situates endurance science within a broader historical pattern. It draws parallels between imperial systems that centralized knowledge and erased local understanding, and modern training cultures that privilege abstraction over perception. Metrics replace narrative. Thresholds replace judgment. The athlete's internal experience is tolerated only when it confirms the model, and discounted when it challenges it.This chapter argues that the dominance of mechanistic endurance theory is not simply the result of better evidence, but of institutional convenience. Reductionist models scale well. They credential easily. They produce authority that can be exported, monetized, and defended. What they do not do well is account for regulation, variability, or lived reality.

The Haves & Have-Nots Of 2025 | Threshold Ventures Co-founder Emily MeltonThis week for our 2025 recap, we're joined by VC Emily Melton, co-founder of Threshold Ventures. Melton highlights her reflection of 2025, which splits the market into "haves and have-nots" with nothing in between, noting the concentration of venture dollars on "high flyers" and the indifference shown to established companies with respectable revenue.We cover:

In part two of our Advent preaching series (December 7th, 2025), Father Joshua outlines the first two Thresholds of Conversion: Initial Trust and Spiritual Curiosity. According to Sherry Weddell, over 50% of Catholics in the pews on Sunday are in these two Thresholds. While it is good that they are still showing up, it means that Jesus has so much more in store for them! Fr. Joshua challenges all of us to honestly recognize we are in the journey, and to be open to the more that God has for us.

Ever try to teach your dog something new only to realize both of you are way too stressed to even remember your own names? Same. In this episode, Emily and our newest Pet Harmony team member, Veronica Garcia, dive into the “thinking and learning zone”. Learn what it looks like, why it matters, and why your dog suddenly forgets literally everything the minute stress walks into the room.We talk about how bodies (yours and your pet's) do weird things under stress, how foundational skills matter way more than they get credit for, and why sometimes the best thing you can do is skip the walk and grab a frozen lick mat. Veronica brings her vet-med and behavior background to the table with real-life examples, plus some “yep, been there” moments from her own pups.If you've ever wondered why training feels so hard on “one of those days,” this episode will help you breathe, regroup, and get everyone back into the zone where learning actually sticks.TLDL (too long, didn't listen): 3 Key Takeaways 1️⃣ Just because you can, doesn't mean you should – Learning during high levels of stress can happen, but it's usually not the learning we want. If your dog (or you) is already over threshold, the goal shifts from “teach the thing” to “get everyone back to thinking/learning.”2️⃣ Body language beats guessing every time – Understanding what you observe in your pet, their ears, eyes, tail, muscle tension, matters way more than the story in your head. When you know your dog's actual ladder of escalation, you can step in early instead of trying to clean up a full-blown meltdown.3️⃣ Support the human to support the pet – Clients (and pet parents in general) learn best when they are in the thinking and learning zone, too. If you're a professional, things like open-ended questions, mirroring, and normalizing “life got lifey” helps people feel safe, supported, and actually able to do the work.For the full episode show notes, including the resources mentioned in this episode, go here.More from Pet HarmonyPet Parents: enrichment ideas and practical behavior tips

Cody gives us one more update on Joe's progress and shares his thoughts on what it means to facing turning points in our lives, the nature of life's uncertainty—particularly in the context of palliative care—and the difficulty of preparing for the unknown.

In the final episode of The Nuclear Threshold, A'ndre speaks with Alexandra Bell, President & CEO of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists and one of the leading U.S. diplomats behind recent efforts to strengthen arms control and reduce nuclear risks. Building on the technical and command-and-control foundations laid by Laura Grego and Steve Fetter, this conversation shifts to the political and diplomatic fault lines that make today's nuclear landscape uniquely dangerous.Alexandra explains why nuclear policy has fallen out of public view even as the world edges closer to crisis, and why diplomacy — often undervalued and underfunded — remains the only real mechanism for preventing disaster. Drawing on her experience negotiating the New START Treaty and other engagements, she breaks down the collapse of Cold War–era treaties, the rise of new nuclear states, and the challenge of rebuilding trust in a multipolar world.We also explore how deterrence theory holds up in an era of political volatility and weapons on minutes-notice alert. Alexandra discusses realistic steps the United States and others could take to reduce tensions, the role of scientific cooperation when politics freeze, and why public engagement has always been the catalyst for major progress on nuclear issues.As the Doomsday Clock sits closer to midnight than ever, Alexandra makes the case for “fearless diplomacy” — and why, despite the risks, the path away from catastrophe is still possible if governments and citizens choose it.

Sermon by Liz Harlan-Ferlo, Canon for Spirituality Education & Arts, recorded live at the 10:00 am service on the First Sunday of Advent, November 30, 2025.

Two former UK Chancellors, Jeremy Hunt and Kwasi Kwarteng, provide a brutal, emergency budget analysis, revealing how Labour's policies are crippling the UK economy. Discover the shocking truth about £70 billion in new taxes, how "fiscal drag" and frozen thresholds are making your money erode faster than ever, and why this is the biggest issue facing the country right now. BEST MOMENTS "I think that I felt a bit betrayed... growth was completely sacrificed to the internal Labour Party debate about welfare spend." "The problem with the situation we're in... is that we've got welfare states that were created... 80 years ago... and we have a lot less money, a lot less growth." "The dollar in 2020... is worth 25% more than it is today. So that's in straight-line terms, 5% depreciation every year."

In this message, Pastor Amy Carter walks us through a message about navigating the in-between seasons of life—those hallway moments where old doors have closed and new ones aren't open yet. Through Jacob's wrestle with God and real-life stories, you'll be encouraged to surrender control, lean into God's timing, and recognize how He uses discomfort to reshape your identity and prepare you for what's next. This is a hope-filled word for anyone feeling stuck, suspended, or quietly wondering, “Is there more?”

We had the opportunity to hang out with two of our favourite podcasters: Amy Martin of Threshold, and Amy Westervelt of Drilled.We've previously featured both of their work on the Future Ecologies feed, and we couldn't pass up the chance to talk shop about the latest (fantastic) seasons of their respective shows, and get to know more about their personal journey. That's this episode: Part 1In the supporter-exclusive Part 2, we get into more of a roundtable on the practice of environmental journalism and podcasting in these especially scary and chaotic times. For the two of us, unschooled and unqualified in anything resembling journalism, it was a blast to have the privilege of what ended up being a private consulting session with two of our heroes.

Most of us do our inner work in solitude. We build awareness. We regulate. We deepen into self-trust. But eventually— life invites us to take that inner work into our relationships. Specifically, into our adult relationships. This is what I explore in Part Three of The Threshold series: how the emotional mastery I've cultivated privately is showing up inside my partnership, my parenting, and the beautiful complexity of blending families. This episode is not about theory.  It's about practice. About what it means to stay present when you want to disconnect. To choose curiosity in moments of discomfort. To share the responsibility of safety. Inside, I explore: What co-regulation really looks like in adult love How two nervous systems shape the quality of connection Why presence matters more than perfection The moments that turn emotional work into lived healing If you're on your own path of becoming— and want to show up more fully inside your relationships—this is your episode.
