This special episode is brought to you in partnership with Fora Space.Dr. Alex George joins Jake for an open, deeply human conversation about happiness, mental health, and the quiet changes that can transform a life. He challenges the idea that doing more or achieving more will make us happy, explaining why we put happiness on a pedestal while ignoring emotions like sadness, grief, and frustration, even though every emotion has a purpose.Dr. Alex also speaks honestly about sobriety, social pressure, and why you don't need to hit rock bottom to rethink your relationship with alcohol. This conversation also explores grief, therapy, ADHD, and the stigma around men expressing emotion. Dr. Alex reflects on learning to sit with difficult feelings rather than escaping them, why walking therapy helped him process loss, and how cultural expectations can silence people until it's too late. This episode offers a powerful, practical episode about choosing awareness over avoidance, and building a healthier relationship with yourself, one step at a time.Dr Alex's new book "Am I Normal?: Understanding Your Place in a Complex World" is out in January.

The Earth Transformed. An Untold History (Knopf, 2023) is a captivating and informative book that reveals how climate change has been a driving force behind the development and decline of civilizations across the centuries. The author, Peter Frankopan, takes readers on a journey through history, showcasing how natural phenomena such as volcanic eruptions, El Niño, and solar flare activity have shaped the course of human events. Frankopan's extensive research, coupled with his accessible writing style, makes for an engaging read that reframes our understanding of the world and our place in it. One of the strengths of The Earth Transformed is the way in which Frankopan connects seemingly disparate events to highlight the far-reaching impact of climate change. For example, he explains how the Vikings emerged as a result of catastrophic crop failure, and how the collapse of cotton prices due to unusual climate patterns led to regime change in eleventh-century Baghdad. Through such connections, Frankopan demonstrates how past empires that failed to act sustainably were met with catastrophe, providing valuable lessons for our current environmental crisis. Overall, The Earth Transformed is a timely and important book that sheds light on the enduring relationship between humans and the natural world. It challenges readers to reckon with our species' impact on the environment and to consider how we can act sustainably to prevent further harm. Frankopan's interdisciplinary approach, combining historical research with scientific insights, makes for a compelling and thought-provoking read that will leave readers with a new perspective on the world around us. Javier Mejia is an economist at Stanford University who specializes in the intersection of social networks and economic history. His research interests also include entrepreneurship and political economy, with a particular focus on Latin America and the Middle East. He holds a Ph.D. in Economics from Los Andes University.

What if brand clarity is the difference between a beautiful website that nobody understands and a clear pathway that people actually follow? We sit down with Ellie Brown, a licensed professional counselor, author, and podcaster, to unpack how aligning faith and psychology—not hiding them—transformed her business, her confidence, and her results. Ellie shares the moment she stopped splitting identities and started speaking directly to people wrestling with shame, faith ambivalence, and the nagging question of why healing still feels out of reach.We walk through the practical shifts that made the biggest impact: defining a specific audience, building four simple content pillars, and reshaping a homepage around problems and solutions instead of vague inspiration. Ellie explains how clarity made consistency doable and how consistency made measurement meaningful. From Instagram engagement to email open rates, she now uses data as a compass, not a report card—doubling down on topics that resonate and gracefully letting go of what doesn't.You'll also hear about an ethical visibility win: a respectful client email series that simply named her resources—podcast, book, shame quiz, and the Better Way guide. The result wasn't pushy; it was supportive care beyond the therapy hour. Ellie then breaks down her Better Way framework—awareness, education and exploration, taking down defenses, transformation, establishing and empowering, and rising in resilience—and shows how it helps people move from surviving to thriving with both therapeutic depth and faith-integrated hope.If you're a clinician, creator, or founder who's tired of guessing at content and watching a “pretty” brand underperform, this conversation offers a practical roadmap. We cover audience definition, messaging, site structure, content strategy, and simple metrics you can track today. Listen, take notes, and then tell us your next move. If this helped, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs brand clarity, and leave a quick review so more people can find it.Read it HERE.Support the show

She opens up about her miraculous pregnancy after being diagnosed with premature ovarian failure at age 22, the devastating discovery of her husband's years-long infidelity, and the peace that surpasses understanding that carried her through the darkest valleys. Now, 10 years after hitting rock bottom in her marriage, Megan leads women's support groups at her church and ministers to others walking through similar trials.This episode is a testament to God's power to restore what seems irreparably broken and turn our deepest pain into purpose.

Whether you're facing struggles in your marriage, battling infertility, healing from trauma, or simply need encouragement to start the new year strong, this conversation will remind you that God works all things for good and brings beauty from ashes. The January memory verse is 2 Corinthians 5:17: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come. The old has gone. The new is here."This episode serves as both an informative guide to embrace a healthier, more balanced lifestyle, encouraging listeners to embark on their journeys with renewed vigor and compassion.Reach out to KB on Instagram and share your thoughts.

Have you ever noticed that one foot is often slightly bigger than the other? It sounds odd, but it's extremely common — and there's a clear biological reason for it. This episode begins with why it happens, which foot is usually larger, and what it means for comfort and health. https://www.feetbypody.com/blog/is-it-normal-for-one-foot-to-be-bigger-than-the-other/ The Moon has been hanging over our heads for billions of years — but why is it there at all? Where did it come from? Why doesn't it crash into Earth? And what would life be like if the Moon never existed? Rebecca Boyle joins me to explore how Earth's closest companion shaped our planet, influenced evolution, and made life as we know it possible. Rebecca is a columnist at Atlas Obscura, a contributor to Scientific American, The New York Times, Popular Science, and Smithsonian Air & Space, and author of Our Moon: How Earth's Celestial Companion Transformed the Planet, Guided Evolution, and Made Us Who We Are.

Send us a textWhat if the question isn't whether God is fair, but whether grace is real enough to hold when life falls apart? We dig into a hard claim—Christ's death is sufficient for all but efficient for the many—and then take it straight into the heart of Job, where a suffering man still says, “You granted me life and favor, and your visitation preserved my spirit.” That single line becomes our map for assurance: life as a gift, favor as electing love, and visitation as providence that keeps us when we cannot keep ourselves.We get honest about the “fairness” objection and why justice without mercy is a road no one actually wants. Think gravity and wind: you may not see them, but you trust their effects. Faith works the same way. Transformed desires, answered prayers, and inexplicable perseverance are the fingerprints of God's Spirit. We talk perseverance of the saints without clichés, unpack imputed righteousness as the ground of confidence, and confront the myth that assurance encourages sin. It doesn't. It empowers repentance, resilience, and risk in love because you know you're held.Job's testimony helps us reconcile pain with promise. He refuses to reinterpret God through his wounds. Instead, he remembers—God's past care, present preservation, and future faithfulness. We press that habit home with practical steps: build a “wall of remembrance,” revisit notes, save key verses, and hold each other accountable. Along the way we pray for specific needs, celebrate small victories, and commit to trust God with everything from salvation to daily bread. If you've wrestled with doubts, felt whiplash between Sunday faith and weekday fear, or wondered how grace meets you at rock bottom, this conversation is your next step forward.If this helped you think, breathe, and believe again, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs courage tonight, and leave a quick review so others can find it.

Our guest host today is Fortis Institute Fellow Dr. Greg Gifford from the Transformed podcast! Segment 1 • AI chatbots now offer therapy, dating advice, and moral commentary. • Christians need to sharpen discernment and develop a healthy skepticism of digital “truth.” • Zuckerberg envisions a future where most of your “friends” are bots. Segment 2 • Millions turn to AI bots due to loneliness, cost, or distrust in traditional therapy. • AI therapy feels emotionally validating, but it's really subjective. • Some chat bots have already crossed lines with minors. Segment 3 • Dr. Gifford's chatbot told him to quit based on a venting session. • Teens use amoral chatbots to guide them toward moral decisions. • ChatGPT answered hot-button worldview questions with pre-loaded narratives with no commitment to actual truth. Segment 4 • Seeking wisdom from chatbots replaces Christ's body with code and undermines Christian community. • AI gives advice that affirms what someone already believes. • Christians must be radically discerning, especially for their kids. ___ Thanks for listening!

STARSHIP: THE FULLY REUSABLE ARCHITECTURE FOR MARS Colleague Eric Berger. At Boca Chica, Texas, SpaceX transformed a swamp into "Starbase," a modern rocket factory for the Starship and Super Heavy launch system. Starship represents the endgame of Musk's vision: a fully reusable rocket larger than the Saturn V, designed to be caught by "chopstick" arms on the launch tower to eliminate landing legs and speed up reuse. The plan involves orbital refueling and launching fleets of ships every two years to transport massive amounts of cargo, serving as a "Grand Central Station" for deep space colonization.

The Do One Better! Podcast – Philanthropy, Sustainability and Social Entrepreneurship
As we close out 2025, host Alberto Lidji analyses fifty deep-dive conversations from the past year to identify the key trends currently reshaping the social impact landscape. This special 2025 roundup episode moves beyond individual projects to explore the fundamental evolution of systemic transformation. Alberto synthesises the year's insights into three defining shifts: the transition from isolated funding to orchestrator models, the strategic focus on structural root causes, and a fundamental evolution in how we approach leadership and burnout. Key Themes Explored in This Episode: The Evolution of Collaboration: Why the retreat of traditional funding streams in 2025 turned partnership from an aspiration into a vital survival mechanism. The Orchestrator Model: Exploring the move toward philanthropic bridge-building, where foundations support government-led initiatives and remove systemic friction points rather than driving isolated agendas. Rigidity in Mission, Flexibility in Approach: Why the most effective strategies this year focused on markets and addressing systemic drivers rather than treating symptoms. The Grace Shift: A look at how leadership archetypes are evolving to prioritise personnel well-being and structural support as prerequisites for long-term impact. The Call to Agency: A concluding reflection on the power of citizen entrepreneurship and why individual action remains the ultimate antidote to global anxiety. Visit our Knowledge Hub at Lidji.org for information on 350+ case studies and interviews with remarkable leaders in philanthropy, sustainability and social entrepreneurship.

professorjrod@gmail.comExplore how Napster revolutionized technology education by changing the way we interact with digital files and access information. This episode delves into the transformation from physical media to digital packets, illustrating key moments that reshaped internet culture and technology. Whether you're preparing for your CompTIA exam or interested in IT skills development, understanding these technological shifts provides valuable context for tech exam prep and study group discussions. Join us as we unpack the history behind Napster and its lasting influence on technology education and digital innovation.We walk through Metallica's landmark lawsuit and the legal logic that treated visibility as control, then trace the diaspora that followed: LimeWire's messy resilience, Kazaa's global sprawl, and BitTorrent's protocol-level genius that made sharing intrinsic. Along the way, we examine what labels missed, what users learned, and why lawsuits against platforms morphed into letters to dorm rooms. Hardware and storefronts offered a ceasefire—hello iPod and ninety-nine-cent downloads—but ownership still clashed with a new habit shaped by search, speed, and scale.Streaming became the only model that matched the lesson users had already internalized: music should be searchable, immediate, and everywhere. That shift didn't stop at songs. Photos, documents, movies, and apps followed, because remote access began to feel natural. We talk candidly about artist trade-offs—reach versus leverage, algorithms versus programmers—and the way architecture keeps deciding outcomes. If you care about the history of technology, platform liability, or the future of creative work, this story connects the dots from a dorm room index to the blue play button on your phone.If this deep dive gave you a new lens on music and tech, follow the show, share it with a friend who remembers the dial-up hiss, and leave a quick review so others can find us.

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.
