Start your new year with hope that goes beyond new diets, fitness programs, and the relentless pursuit of body perfection. In this heartfelt episode, host Heather Creekmore sits down with her former client, Lesley, to share her transformative journey from food and body image bondage to genuine spiritual and emotional freedom. Lesley spent years as a health and wellness coach, tracking every calorie, restricting food, and chasing a number on the scale—all while struggling with her own body image issues. She candidly shares how these patterns began in grade school, persisted into adulthood, and continued even as she helped others pursue their health goals. Despite her expertise, she found herself trapped by obsession and shame surrounding food, weight, and self-worth. Through Heather Creekmore's Body Image Freedom Framework, Lesley began to untangle the deep connection between identity and body image. Her story is honest about the challenges—grief, fear, letting go of control, and even stepping away from her coaching business—but it's also filled with hope and victory. Lesley discovered that true freedom came not from changing her body, but from changing her beliefs, surrendering her idol of body image, and learning to trust God’s gentle guidance through all the lows and highs. In this episode, you'll hear: How body image struggles often start early and shape identity The dangers of moralizing food, restriction, and attachment to the scale The life-changing power of shifting focus from external rules to internal cues and grace The role of faith and community in healing, surrender, and practical recovery How Lesley found peace, joy, and presence in her body—without chasing weight loss goals If you’re tired of repeating the same health resolutions and want lasting change, this episode is an inspiring invitation to start your body image freedom journey.

Kimberly shares how voluntourism, when done responsibly, goes far beyond traditional travel. These immersive experiences cultivate cross-cultural leadership, deepen human connection, and shift how people see the world - and themselves. From her own journey leaving the corporate world to building GlobeAware, Kimberly breaks down the power of meaningful service and the practical steps for participating in global volunteer projects. This conversation reveals why service travel isn't just about helping others - it's about developing resilience, gratitude, empathy, and a renewed appreciation for humanity.

Transformative Learning Through Experience: Side-by-side service fosters empathy, gratitude, and cultural awareness—especially powerful for families and young people. A Powerful Perspective Shift: Exposure to different ways of living reshapes views on privilege and consumption through experiential learning—not lectures.

In this episode, I open up about my word for 2026 — Divine Assignment — and how this season isn't about chasing platforms, money, or validation, but aligning every gift God gave me with His purpose for my life.I get real about fear, starting again after disappointment, and why past failures can't be the reason we stop trying. From launching the LTTA app after losing nearly $40,000 the first time, to building discipline through uncomfortable habits like ice baths, I break down grace vs. discipline, why you can't bully yourself into growth, and how trying again — slowly, consistently, and privately — is what creates real transformation.

As we look back on the year's milestones, 2025 marks 25 years since Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley unveiled the Plan for Transformation. It was a decade-long initiative that demolished Chicago's public high-rises, overhauled the city's public housing system, and displaced thousands of Chicagoans. Author Natalie Moore and investigative reporter Mick Dumke have tracked the city's claims about its overall success. We spoke to them earlier this summer about the plan's legacy.

You can feel it — that quiet ache telling you something has to change. As this year comes to a close, you may find yourself standing at an edge. Tired of circling the same patterns. Tired of doing everything "right" and still feeling stuck. This moment isn't a failure. It's the space between who you've been and who you're becoming — uncomfortable, uncertain, and deeply meaningful. Real transformation doesn't come from vision boards, affirmations, or wanting things badly enough. Change only happens when desire is matched with different choices and different actions. When we stop performing growth and start participating in our own lives. When we tell the truth about where we're abandoning ourselves, crossing our own boundaries, or waiting for feelings to change before we act. This episode is an invitation to step out of waiting and into responsibility — not as punishment, but as freedom. To stop postponing your life for the right moment and begin choosing yourself now. This isn't about resolutions. It's about reclamation: of your voice, your energy, your truth, and your right to live with intention instead of autopilot. What we explore: Why wanting change isn't enough The illusion of manifestation without action How boundaries reveal where change actually begins The cost of self-abandonment and people-pleasing What it means to stop performing and start participating Why discomfort is often the doorway to freedom If you're ready to move beyond surface-level change and reconnect with the part of you that's been quietly waiting, I invite you to join my free five-day experience Reignite Your Spark at http://www.nancylevin.com/spark  Connect with me: Newsletternancylevin.comInstagramFacebook

Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol is more than a holiday classic—it's a mirror. Through the transformation of Ebenezer Scrooge, we're reminded that change doesn't require perfection, only honesty, courage, and a willingness to see ourselves clearly. In this episode, I reflect on how Ebenezer's awakening—his reckoning with the past, his awareness of the present, and his responsibility for the future—can be our story as we step into a new year. Growth begins when we stop running from discomfort and start listening to what it's trying to teach us.

Unser heutiger Gast hat Medien- und Kommunikationsmanagement studiert und früh gelernt, wie stark gute Kommunikation und vertrauensvolle Beziehungen wirken können – und was passiert, wenn sie fehlen. Sie war viele Jahre bei Bosch tätig, zunächst in der Assistenz, dann in klassischen Projektrollen, später als Impulsgeberin und Transformationsbegleiterin für eine neue Arbeitswelt. Sie führte Bosch' erste globale Plattform für Zusammenarbeit ein – und war lange die zentrale Figur hinter Deutschlands größter Working Out Loud-Bewegung im Konzern. Doch sie wollte mehr: Mehr Wirksamkeit, mehr Menschlichkeit – und mehr Fokus auf das, was Veränderung wirklich trägt. Nach 18 Jahren Konzern wechselte sie in die Selbstständigkeit, gründete mit Connecting Humans eine Beratung für Transformation und gesunde Hochleistungsteams und startete das Format Working Out Loud #FrauenStärken, das sich an Frauen richtet, die in Netzwerken wachsen und wirken wollen. Seit über acht Jahren beschäftigen wir uns in diesem Podcast mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt, statt ihn zu schwächen. Wir haben in mehr als 500 Episoden mit fast 700 Persönlichkeiten darüber gesprochen, was sich für sie verändert hat – und was sich noch verändern muss. Wir fragen: Was motiviert Menschen, nach 18 Jahren erfolgreicher Konzernkarriere in die Selbstständigkeit zu gehen – und damit ein neues Kapitel zu beginnen? Welche Rolle spielen Beziehungen, Netzwerke und soziale Fitness in einer Welt, die immer schneller, digitaler und unübersichtlicher wird? Und wie können Formate wie #FrauenStärken echte Wirkung entfalten – jenseits von Buzzwords und Event-Hype? Fest steht: Für die Lösung unserer aktuellen Herausforderungen brauchen wir neue Impulse. Daher suchen wir weiter nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näherbringen. Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen. Ihr seid bei On the Way to New Work, heute mit Katharina Krenz. [Hier](https://linktr.ee/onthewaytonewwork) findet ihr alle Links zum Podcast und unseren aktuellen Werbepartnern

"I knew only darkness and stillness... but a little word from the fingers of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness and my heart leaped to the rapture of living." — Helen KellerSHOW NOTES EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Spirit Balance: Your "inner ear" is the key to spiritual equilibrium; if life feels shaky, recalibrate your hearing to God's frequency. The "Un-Adulting" Key: Kingdom maturity is measured by teachability. Give yourself permission to use your imagination to access the supernatural. Spirit Resonance: Trade human logic for the "Mind of Christ"—a divine algorithm that solves problems the soul cannot comprehend. Listening at a Distance: Practice trusting God's work in the unseen realm before it manifests in the physical. Choosing Your Rock: Stillness is a choice of location. Rest in the "shade" of His presence to hear what the "sun" of daily stress drowns out. Step-by-Step Grace: Lean into the Spirit as an expert system that provides clear procedures for life's most complex challenges. "Stop 'adulting' for thirty minutes and rediscover the world through the eyes of the one who holds the moon and stars for you. Today, we aren't just talking about faith—we are training your Inner Ear to catch the melodies of heaven that the noise of the world has drowned out.By joining me on this mystical forest journey, you will receive more than just a story; you'll receive a divine recalibration.

Like many people who struggle with pornography, Russell was exposed to it at a young age. The desire to use it was overpowering, and it poisoned his heart. “My life [became] completely saturated by it,” he writes, “so much so that it was like a cancer that was deeply rooted into my very fiber.” By God’s grace, he was finally set free of porn’s power—along with other addictions—when he received salvation in Jesus and was transformed from the inside out. “I credit it all to Jesus Christ, . . . [He’s] the one who delivered me,” Russell says. Jeremiah delivered a message from God to Israel that one day He would “put [His] law in their minds and write it on their hearts” (31:33). Under this new covenant, fulfilled in Christ (Hebrews 8:6-13), all people could be transformed by God’s grace through faith. And now, “his Spirit . . . lives in [us]” (Romans 8:11), and God’s moral law has been written on our hearts. For Russell, and for all who believe, the Holy Spirit’s power provides what’s needed to turn from harmful behavior that displeases God and seeks to destroy us. Transformation isn’t always instantaneous or easy. But let’s remember, when we’re dealing with difficult—even addictive—sin, that God can transform our hearts (Jeremiah 31:33). He says, you “will know me” (v. 34 nlt), and we can also know His heart-changing power.

As we close out 2025 and prepare for 2026, this week's Weekly Energy Boost explores what it truly means to feel alive. Drawing on Kabbalistic wisdom, we reveal why fulfillment doesn't come from external success or constant inspiration, but from cultivating desire—the spiritual vessel that allows Light, motivation, and blessings to flow.This episode shares practical tools for reigniting passion when motivation fades, whether in relationships, career, or spiritual growth. You'll learn how disciplined action, intentional giving, and proactive investment can awaken desire even before clarity arrives.If you're feeling stuck, uninspired, or uncertain as the new year approaches, this is an episode you don't want to miss. There's a unique Light available right now—listen and step into 2026 with renewed purpose, energy, and momentum.Join us for the next episode of Weekly Energy Boost with @ElishevaBalas and @EitanYardeni.Watch LIVE Sundays at 10 am PT / 1 pm ET on The Kabbalah Centre YouTube or catch the latest episode wherever you listen to podcasts.Find out more about our work, dig into our archives, and send us a message at: www.weeklyenergyboost.com.You can also help make Weekly Energy Boost possible by making a tax-deductible contribution at www.weeklyenergyboost.com/donate-today.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, Hunter guides us through the 363rd day of our journey through the Scriptures, focusing on Revelation chapters 5 through 9. Together, we witness the dramatic scene of the Lamb—Jesus—opening the sealed scroll, a powerful symbol of hope, justice, and redemption in the midst of a broken world. Hunter reflects on the meaning and significance of these passages, reminding us that, even in times of confusion and despair, God's love and victory can transform our weeping into worship. The episode also includes heartfelt prayers for peace, understanding, and unity, as well as an encouraging reminder that each listener is beloved by God. Whether you're new to the Daily Radio Bible or have been with us all year, you'll find hope, comfort, and inspiration in today's time together in the Word and in prayer. TODAY'S DEVOTION: If this scroll isn't opened, then how are we going to make sense of this story? The story of human history demands that this scroll be opened. The story of life demands that justice and righteousness prevail. Some sense must be drawn from all the senseless evil in this world. John falls into despair at ref​lecting on the possibility that there will be no judgment, no true reconciling of all things—a restoration when God is all and in all. He wonders whether perhaps it's all meaningless. He wonders whether there will be a response from God in the end. John cries out at the thought. He cries out for someone to make sense of the wreckage. And in this final moment, when it appears that all is lost, an elder insists that John stop weeping. He insists that there is One who is worthy and able. It is the One sitting on the throne. He can open the scroll because he has stepped into the darkness, the despair, the loss, into death and into the grave. He is the Lamb of God who has taken away the sin of the world. He has offered himself on the cross, and in that offering, he defeats death by death in order that he might rescue those who are captive to sin, death, and the grave. He's come to rescue the lost—Adam and all of us—and draw us into his saving life. In his body, he accomplished this victory. You might be like John today, weeping because you think there's no way to make sense of what's happened in your life. The elder, John, and I all want to remind you—look to the Lamb. He's worthy. Look at him. See what he has done. He has won a victory for you, for us, for the world that will transform our weeping into absolute worship and adoration. Let's ask the Spirit to help us see the Lamb who opens the scroll. That's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's a prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

When you're working harder than ever and still getting questioned, most leaders assume they're the problem. But what if the real reason you're exhausted isn't lack of effort...it's that you're trying to win inside a model that was never designed to show your impact?This episode is part of a 5-part series exploring the journey B2B revenue leaders take from reactive chaos to finally understanding, measuring, and transforming their entire Revenue Factory. Each stage represents a critical inflection point and the exact moments that separate leaders who consistently hit targets and drive real, provable results… from those who spend every quarter scrambling, duct-taping reports, and wondering why nothing is working.This episode explores Stage 3: The Breaking Point, AKA the most emotionally charged and career-defining moment in the entire transformation journey.What We Cover in This Episode:Why Stage 3 is the moment leaders either break down, or break throughWhy constant scrutiny, unclear reporting, and cross-functional finger-pointing aren't personal failures, but symptoms of a broken data modelThe exact frameworks that explain why you're stuck and what has to change to unlock real revenue clarityWhy duct-taped reporting, activity-based KPIs, and siloed metrics guarantee misalignmentHow top-performing GTM teams rebuild their entire foundation, and why it transforms everything from credibility to win ratesThis is the episode for every revenue, marketing, or GTM leader who has ever thought:I'm exhausted from constantly defending myself.”“I KNOW we're making an impact, so why can't I prove it?”“What if the problem isn't me… but the entire system?”

Mari Granström (LI) founder and CEO of Origin by Ocean. We spoke of the chemicals industry and why it's so integral to everything that we do, how it can and probably will become a part of the solution going forward. We spoke of what it takes to actually recreate supply chains that are healthier where social , environmental and financial benefit are co-consequences. We also spoke of why single focus on carbon is detrimental for driving healthy change. This is a very hands on, conversation that highlights very tangible transformation of a supply chain and beyond. Enjoy!

2025 war numerologisch gesehen ein 9er-Jahr, eines der Tiefenreinigung und des Loslassens in allen oder gewissen Lebensbereichen, in denen alte Zeitlinien endgültig recycelt werden wollten. So sehr diese Prozesse auf höherer Spirit-Ebene zu unserem höchsten Wohle dienen, so sehr mögen diese Tiefenreinigungen alter Frequenz-Strukturen unsere Psyche und unser Nervensystem belasten und enorme Widerstände aktivieren. Viele von uns fühlen sich am Ende dieses Jahres ausgebrannt und leer und warten noch immer auf den großen Shift in einem gewissen Lebensbereich, der sich "stuck" auf einer alten Zeitlinie anfühlt. In dieser Abschlussfrequenzheilung 2025 als Teil eines Instagram-Lives unterstützen wir die Körper-Systeme dabei, festgefahrene Frequenz-Strukturen weiter loszulassen, aktivieren die Frequenz des Christusbewusstsein im Herzraum und dehnen dieses in die Gesamtheit des physischen Körpers aus, was dich schwungvoll und hochfrequent in das neue Jahr 2026 trägt.

Luca suggested.Ko: 민서는 잠시 망설였지만, 이번 기회에 자신을 바꾸기로 결심했다.En: Minseo hesitated for a moment but decided to take the opportunity to change herself.Ko: 저녁이 되자, 세 사람은 오이아로 향했다.En: As evening fell, the three headed to Oia.Ko: 마을의 좁은 골목길은 화려한 조명과 장식으로 가득했다.En: The village's narrow alleys were filled with colorful lights and decorations.Ko: 바람은 차가웠지만, 사람들의 웃음소리와 이야기가 주변을 따뜻하게 했다.En: Though the wind was cold, the laughter and chatter of the people warmed the surroundings.Ko: 민서는 루카와 아마라의 이야기를 들으며 점점 마음이 열렸다.En: Minseo felt her heart opening up as she listened to Luca and Amara's stories.Ko: 자정이 되자 불꽃놀이가 시작되었다.En: At midnight, the fireworks began.Ko: 하늘은 다양한 색으로 물들었고, 에게해 위로 빛나는 불꽃은 장관이었다.En: The sky was painted with various colors, and the fireworks illuminating the Aegean Sea were a spectacular sight.Ko: 그 순간 민서는 마음의 벽이 허물어지는 걸 느꼈다.En: At that moment, Minseo felt the walls of her heart breaking down.Ko: 낯선 땅, 낯선 사람들 속에서 그녀는 오히려 더 따뜻함을 느꼈다.En: In this unfamiliar land, among unfamiliar people, she actually felt warmer.Ko: 불꽃놀이가 끝나고, 세 사람은 새해의 설렘을 나누었다.En: After the fireworks ended, the three shared the excitement of the new year.Ko: 민서는 루카와 아마라와 함께 웃고 있는 자신이 놀라웠다.En: Minseo was surprised to find herself laughing with Luca and Amara.Ko: 그녀는 깨달았다. 진정한 우정은 문화의 경계를 넘을 수 있다는 것을.En: She realized that true friendship could transcend cultural boundaries.Ko: 그날 밤 미세한 겨울 바람 속에서도 민서는 소중한 친구들과 함께한 따뜻한 순간을 간직했다.En: That night, even amidst the slight winter breeze, Minseo cherished the warm moments she shared with her precious friends.Ko: 민서는 이제 조금 더 자신감이 생겼다.En: Minseo now felt a bit more confident.Ko: 산토리니의 겨울은 그녀에게 소중한 추억과 용기를 남겼다.En: The winter in Santorini had left her with precious memories and courage.Ko: 새로운 경험이란, 두려움 끝에 있는 건지도 모른다고.En: Perhaps new experiences are found at the end of fear.Ko: 그것을 찾은 민서는 앞으로도 더 많은 이야기를 쓸 준비가 되어 있었다.En: Having discovered that, Minseo was ready to write many more stories in the future.

Happy Boxing Day! Let's talk about transitions and what you need to declutter or add to resemble where you are going. We are all transitioning into the new year. I'm sharing the smallest shift you can make to be more intentional with what you want to get out of 2026. How are you planning with that anticipatory energy of things to come when the ball drops at midnight on New Years Eve? Transition So yes, we are all transitioning into a new year. We have this anticipatory energy as to what could happen for us in 2026.  For me personally I'm thinking about a "new me" too. I know this is common for this time of year but if you have been listening to the podcast you know this has been on my radar in 2025. I have adjusted and transitioned into a person who works out. I shared some habits I've made with my workout schedule, water consumption, increasing my movement, and changes in my eating habits this past year.  Increasing my workout frequency, it dawned on me that I may need to buy more clothes for pilates. I've transitioned into a person that works out. But my workout clothes did not reflect that. I started in gardening shorts and Organize 365® v-necks. Time to make my clothes reflect my intentions.  You see, I find it beneficial to set my environment to match the intention of the transformation I'm working towards. It's a small shift that has had a big impact. So I will be getting a few new items for working out. Because I am now a person who works out.  When you consider transitions you have made this year it may require changes in wardrobe, equipment, and maybe your office, to do, be, and have what you want in 2026. You kids too will transition. Maybe they need new age appropriate toys, better fitting clothes, or even a uniform for a new club they joined. Transformation How can you signify to yourself that you have changed? The smallest yet effective thing I have done in my transformation processes is to make my environment match how I identify with myself. I needed new clothes that a person who works out wears. I needed a new water bottle once I realized the office has reverse osmosis and the waste I was creating with my bottled water; because I'm a person who drinks water.  I want you to carefully consider what did you learn in 2025 and what new habits will be going into 2026 with you as a result of who you transformed into.   Transition – > Transformation Put it all together? Planning Day is the perfect time to really reflect on all these ideas. How do you use your time now? What habits did you change? Are you choosing a word of the year? It's the time to decide what habits are going with you into the new year,  set some intentions, and make your environment match those intentions. We'll take six combined hours between Prep Planning Day(2 hours on 12/29) and Planning Day (6 hours on 12/31) to look at your time to see where you can pop in new things to try out that will support your intentions. And if a large project like sprucing up a room or getting a PhD is part of the transformation you can get to planning what that will look like with your real life, your real family, and your real goals.  EPISODE RESOURCES: The Sunday Basket® Planning Day Sign Up for the Organize 365® Newsletter  Did you enjoy this episode?

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Lazar Focus. Each Friday, catch diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman for a deep dive into what's behind the news that spins the globe. This week, we’re joined by Eran Ortal, a brigadier-general (res.) in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and a leading military theorist. Ortal commanded The Dado Center for Interdisciplinary Military Studies, and wrote "The Battle Before the War: The Inside Story of the IDF's Transformation," which came in second place for the Institute for National Security Studies's 2025 Tshetshik Prize. Months before the October 7 invasion of southern Israel by Hamas, Ortal warned in an interview with The Times of Israel that the country's "military situation is eroding, not improving," and that “time is not on our side." Ortal explains what glaring problems he saw in the military in which he served for decades. He says that the IDF concept in its initial decades enabled it to win its famous victories over far more numerous foes. He then lays out why the IDF's center of gravity moved from the armored corps to the Air Force and intelligence services. Over time, says Ortal, Israel also moved away from its focus on decisive victory, and pursued a series of indecisive deterrence operations against non-state enemies like Hamas and Hezbollah. While there were efforts underway in the IDF to implement a wide-ranging series of reforms in the years before October 7, the Hamas attack took place before they had the desired effect. Israel, he says, went to war with an army that had not been properly trained and resourced, which affected the course of the war in Gaza. Looking forward, the IDF must go through another transformation, Ortal argues. Those who argue for continuing to prioritize airpower are mistaken, as are those who call for a return to a focus on mass ground maneuver. Instead, there must not only be investment in AI, drones, and a network that brings them to the troops on the battlefield; Israel also needs a new strategy that employs cutting-edge technology to achieve decisive victory over its enemies. Lazar Focus can be found on all podcast platforms. This episode was produced by Ari Schlacht. IMAGE: Israeli soldiers are seen during an army raid in the West Bank town of Tubas, November 26, 2025.

This sweeping history tells the story of contemporary Japan from its defeat in the Asia-Pacific War in 1945 until the early decades of the new millennium. How did the Japanese people deal with the collapse of its empire and the American-led occupation? What factors played into Japan's remarkable economic recovery and stunning affluence? How did democracy develop under the new pacifist constitution and long-term conservative rule? And how did Japanese society and culture reflect the extraordinary demographic transformations of the era? After a concise recap of events prior to 1945, historian Simon Avenell traces the country's early postwar recovery, its striking economic growth, the political and social struggles of the citizenry, the legacies of colonial empire and militarism, the profound demographic changes wrought by urbanization and affluence, the impact of regional and global entanglements, and the flowering of postwar culture. The content chapters are augmented by an introduction exploring the diverse historical interpretations of the era and its major themes, along with an epilogue pondering the prospects for Japan's postwar condition at our contemporary moment. The lively narrative is supported by a wealth of images, charts, tables, primary sources, and cutting-edge research. Drawing on recent historiography, the book presents Japan's postwar history both as a distinctive phase in the country's modern experience, as well as an era with deep connections to developments before 1945. A History of Postwar Japan will appeal to a broad readership, including students and general readers who want a comprehensive and compelling narrative of Japan's contemporary history.

This blog post delves into the insights from a thought-provoking podcast that reveals how our daily lives are engineered to keep us both useful and docile, turning our attention into a commodity for profit.Main Content:Understanding the Predators: The podcast opens with a stark reminder that civilization, as we know it, often functions like a predator, hunting for our attention and compliance. The host highlights how algorithms are meticulously designed to understand our behaviors, keeping us in a perpetual state of distraction and dependence. For instance, Netflix has invested years in perfecting its interface to ensure that users experience dopamine spikes with each autoplayed episode, replacing genuine thought with mindless consumption.The Illusion of Choice: We often believe we are making conscious choices, but the reality is that many of our actions are influenced by external forces. The host points to the example of recycling, where companies like Amazon rebrand waste to make consumers feel virtuous while continuing harmful practices. This manipulation extends to our wellness apps, which, while promising inner peace, actually profit from our personal data, affecting our financial well-being through increased insurance premiums based on our stress patterns.The Theater of Revolt: In a society where outrage is a currency, the podcast discusses how many protests and acts of rebellion are mere performances. Influencers tweet about social injustices while benefiting from the very systems they criticize. This hypocrisy serves as a distraction, keeping us engaged but ultimately powerless against the predictability that corporations seek in our behavior.Redefining Freedom: Real freedom, as the podcast suggests, comes from recognizing the systems that seek to control us. It requires us to embrace sovereignty and the courage to walk alone when necessary. The host challenges listeners to reflect on their dependencies: if familiar comforts vanished overnight, would we be lost or liberated? This introspection is crucial for understanding what truly defines our identities.Finding Your Guideposts: The podcast encourages listeners to confront their fears, anxieties, and guilt—not as enemies, but as guideposts that reveal where external pressures are strongest. The emotions we often suppress are indicators of the predators lurking within our minds. By acknowledging these feelings, we can begin to dismantle the control they have over us.Conclusion: The journey toward true freedom involves sharpening our attention and reclaiming our autonomy from the societal predators that seek to manipulate us. By recognizing and addressing our dependencies, we can emerge more authentic and empowered. As we reset our perspectives tomorrow, let us focus on honing our awareness, one step at a time.Key Takeaways:- Civilization often acts as a predator, manipulating our attention for profit.- Many choices we believe are ours are influenced by external forces.- True freedom requires recognizing and confronting the systems of control.- Emotions like fear and guilt can guide us toward reclaiming our sovereignty.Tags: Modern Civilization, Freedom, Personal Growth, Technology Manipulation, Awareness, Authenticity, Societal Control, Emotional Intelligence.

Love led Ali to the truth that changes everything.

Discover what happens when speaking to someone's identity becomes more than a one-time event—it becomes our way of life. In this conclusion to the epiphany series, Graham Cooke reveals that when we act toward difficult people as though their God-given identity were true, we're actually being most like Jesus because that's exactly what He does all the time. The blessing we give out returns to us pressed down, shaken together, and running over. As we speak identity to others, the Holy Spirit begins engaging with us about our own identity. This teaching shows how God sees us—not as people with something wrong, but as people missing a few things from our relationship with Him, which He fully intends to give us. **Key Scriptures:**+ Luke 6:38. "Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over..."+ Galatians 6:7. "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap..."+ Romans 12:2. "Be transformed by the renewing of your mind..."**Want to explore more?**

In this episode of the Commune Podcast, Jeff sits down with Marianne Williamson for a wide-ranging conversation on Jesus, not as a figure of dogma or doctrine, but as a guide to inner transformation. Marianne reframes the story of Jesus as a psychological and spiritual map of human awakening. From the birth, crucifixion, and resurrection as inner archetypes, to the idea of Christ consciousness as a latent potential within us all, she invites listeners to reconsider what these teachings were originally pointing toward. Together, Jeff and Marianne explore why this reinterpretation feels especially urgent now — as traditional institutions falter, collective suffering intensifies, and more people search for meaning beyond rigid belief systems. The conversation weaves together spirituality, politics, trauma, and moral responsibility, offering a vision of inner work as the foundation for collective healing.

People often ask this question, “How can I know that I am truly saved?” The telltale sign of salvation is life change. True salvation always produces a wonderful life transformation. In this message from Pastor Jeff Schreve, you'll discover three steps the wise men took that produced in them, and will produce in us, real transformation by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Part 2 of 2: "Why Becoming Your Future Self Requires Letting Go | Dr. Benjamin Hardy" What if the hardest part of becoming your future self isn't discipline or clarity, but the willingness to let go of what once made you successful?. Episode Description Part 1 revealed why meaning comes before courage. Part 2 reveals the price of acting on that meaning. In this continuation, Dr. Benjamin Hardy takes the conversation out of the abstract and into lived reality. He dismantles one of the most seductive lies in personal growth: that you can create a radically different future without giving up the past that built your current life. Using the 80/20 principle, Dr. Hardy explains why most people remain trapped in "2x thinking", incremental improvement driven by familiarity, safety, and social approval. True 10x growth, he argues, is not additive. It is subtractive. It requires stripping away nearly everything that does not belong to the future you are committed to becoming.  Together, Dov and Ben explore why letting go feels like tearing off a limb, how family and loved ones unconsciously resist your transformation, and why honesty, not harmony, is the foundation of real growth. This episode is not motivational. It is clarifying. And for many listeners, it will be confronting. .

SHOW 12-22-25 THE SHOW BEGINS WITH DOUBTS ABOUT FUTURE NAVY. 1941 HICKAM FIELD 1. Restoring Naval Autonomy: Arguments for Separating the Navy from DoD. Tom Modly argues the Navy is an "underperforming asset" within the Defense Department's corporate structure, similar to how Fiat Chrysler successfully spun off Ferrari. He suggests the Navy needs independence to address critical shipbuilding deficits and better protect global commerce and vulnerable undersea cables from adversaries. 2. Future Fleets: Decentralizing Firepower to Counter Chinese Growth. Tom Modly warns that China's shipbuilding capacity vastly outpaces the US, requiring a shift toward distributed forces rather than expensive, concentrated platforms. He advocates for a reinvigorated, independent Department of the Navy to foster the creativity needed to address asymmetric threats like Houthi attacks on high-value assets. 3. British Weakness: The Failure to Challenge Beijing Over Jimmy Lai. Mark Simon predicts Prime Minister Starmer will fail to secure Jimmy Lai's release because the UK mistakenly views China as an economic savior. He notes the UK's diminished military and economic leverage leads to a submissive diplomatic stance, despite China'sdeclining ability to offer investment. 4. Enforcing Sanctions: Interdicting the Shadow Fleet to Squeeze China. Victoria Coates details the Trump administration's enforcement of a "Monroe Doctrine" corollary, using naval power to seize tankers carrying Venezuelan oil to China. This strategy exposes China's lack of maritime projection and energy vulnerability, as Beijingcannot legally contest the seizures of illicit shadow fleet vessels. 5. Symbolic Strikes: US and Jordan Target Resurgent ISIS in Syria. Following an attack on US personnel, the US and Jordan conducted airstrikes against ISIS strongholds, likely with Syrian regime consultation. Ahmed Sharawi questions the efficacy of striking desert warehouses when ISIS cells have moved into urban areas, suggesting the strikes were primarily symbolic domestic messaging. 6. Failure to Disarm: Hezbollah's Persistence and UNIFIL's Inefficacy. David Daoud reports that the Lebanesegovernment is failing to disarm Hezbollah south of the Litani River, merely evicting them from abandoned sites. He argues UNIFIL is an ineffective tripwire, as Hezbollah continues to rebuild infrastructure and receive funding right under international observers' noses. 7. Global Jihad: The Distinct Threats of the Brotherhood and ISIS. Edmund Fitton-Brown contrasts the Muslim Brotherhood's long-term infiltration of Western institutions with ISIS's violent, reckless approach. He warns that ISISremains viable, with recent facilitated attacks in Australia indicating a resurgence in capability beyond simple "inspired" violence. 8. The Forever War: Jihadist Patience vs. American Cycles. Bill Roggio argues the US has failed to defeat jihadist ideology or funding, allowing groups like Al-Qaeda to persist in Afghanistan and Africa. He warns that adversaries view American withdrawals as proof of untrustworthiness, exploiting the US tendency to fight short-term wars against enemies planning for decades. 9. The Professional: Von Steuben's Transformation of the Continental Army. Richard Bell introduces Baron von Steuben as a desperate, unemployed Prussian officer who professionalized the ragtag Continental Army at Valley Forge. Washington's hiring of foreign experts like Steuben demonstrated a strategic willingness to utilize global talent to ensure the revolution's survival. 10. Privateers and Prison Ships: The Unsung Cost of Maritime Independence. Richard Bell highlights the crucial role of privateers like William Russell, who raided British shipping when the Continental Navy was weak. Captured privateers faced horrific conditions in British "black hole" facilities like Mill Prison and the deadly prison ship Jersey in New York Harbor, where mortality rates reached 50%. 11. Caught in the Crossfire: Indigenous Struggles in the Revolutionary War. Molly Brant, a Mohawk leader, allied with the British to stop settler encroachment but became a refugee when the British failed to protect Indigenous lands. Post-war, white Americans constructed myths portraying themselves as blameless victims while ignoring their own Indigenous allies and British betrayals regarding land rights. 12. The Irish Dimension: Revolutionary Hopes and Brutal Repression. The Irish viewed the American Revolutionas a signal that the British Empire was vulnerable, sparking the failed 1798 Irish rebellion. While the British suppressed Irish independence brutally under Cornwallis, Irish immigrants and Scots-Irish settlers like Andrew Jackson fervently supported the Continental Army against the Crown. 13. Assessing Battlefield Realities: Russian Deceit and Ukrainian Counterattacks. John Hardie analyzes the "culture of deceit" within the Russian military, exemplified by false claims of capturing Kupyansk while Ukraine actually counterattacked. This systemic lying leads to overconfidence in Putin's strategy, though Ukraine also faces challenges with commanders hesitating to report lost positions to avoid forced counterattacks. 14. Shifts in Latin America: Brazilian Elections and Venezuelan Hope. Ernesto Araujo and Alejandro Peña Esclusapredict a 2026 battle between socialist accommodation and freedom-oriented transformation in Brazil, highlighted by Flavio Bolsonaro's candidacy against Lula. Meanwhile, Peña Esclusa anticipates Venezuela's liberation and a broader regional shift toward the right following leftist defeats in Ecuador, Argentina, and Chile. 15. Trump's Security Strategy: Homeland Defense Lacks Global Clarity. John Yoo praises the strategy's focus on homeland defense and the Western Hemisphere, reviving a corollary to the Monroe Doctrine. However, he criticizes the failure to explicitly name China as an adversary or define clear goals for defending allies in Asia and Europe against great power rivals. 16. Alienating Allies: The Strategic Cost of Attacking European Partners. John Yoo argues that imposing tariffs and attacking democratic European allies undermines the coalition needed to counter China and Russia. He asserts that democracies are the most reliable partners for protecting American security and values, making cooperation essential despite resource constraints and political disagreements.

Richard Bell introduces Baron von Steuben as a desperate, unemployed Prussian officer who professionalized the ragtag Continental Army at Valley Forge.

David Choe is a world-renowned artist, writer, podcaster and TV host. He tells how as a child, he was made to believe he was destined for greatness but also that he was a complete disgrace, leading him to channel his energy—including deep shame—into art that brought him global recognition. He shares about his addictions that put him on a decades-long cycle of extreme highs and lows and that forced him to eventually acknowledge and heal the childhood trauma he was battling inside. David shows up with raw, authentic presence to show us how we can transmute pain and shame into our best creative work and, more importantly, how complete vulnerability, especially about our hardest experiences, is the ultimate tool for forgiveness and self-acceptance.
