Podcasts about two things

In today's Teaching Middle School ELA Podcast episode, I tackled the three beliefs that keep middle school ELA teachers stuck: the idea that you cannot plan until you know your students, the fear that batch planning takes too much time up front, and the frustration that schedules always change anyway. You will hear why planning foundations early makes differentiation easier, why one focused planning stretch beats constant week to week planning, and how floating days keep your scope and sequence flexible when assemblies, reteaching, or pacing surprises pop up. If you want more support, check the link in the description for the free workshop, and if this helps, subscribe, share the episode with a fellow teacher, and leave a quick review.www.ebteacher.com/workshop

You genuinely want the people you love to know Jesus. But when the moment comes, you freeze.   You overthink it. You worry about saying the wrong thing, making it awkward, or pushing someone away—and the moment passes. But some people are one conversation or invitation away from encountering Jesus. They just need someone who cares enough to say something. In this episode of the Live Changed Podcast, we get real about what it actually looks like to talk about Jesus in everyday life—without pressure, without a script, and without making it weird. You'll hear why most people aren't rejecting Jesus, they're reacting to how he's been presented, and how shifting your focus from convincing to caring changes everything.

Before you can love your neighbor well, you have to love yourself accurately. That means holding two things in tension: understanding how uniquely made you are, and understanding how ordinary you are. When you affirm the people in your life for who they actually are, you free them from searching for acceptance in the wrong places. And when you help them see their ordinariness honestly, you open the door to the grace they actually need. Who in your life needs to hear both truths from you today?Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Eastside's conviction that God's grace is for everyone, each episode invites you to discover God's presence and activity in your life.

In this practical and heart-checking episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Natalie Ambrose kick off a brand-new series on Biblical financial stewardship—helping moms raise girls who handle money with wisdom, contentment, and Christ-centered purpose.  From lighthearted conversation about being a "spender" or a "saver" to deeper reflections on what money reveals about our hearts, this episode gently guides listeners into a Biblical understanding of stewardship. Rachael and Natalie break down this foundational concept into three simple practices—giving, saving, and spending—while reminding us that how we manage money ultimately reflects what we trust, value, and believe about God as our Provider.  In a culture marked by consumerism, comparison, and financial anxiety, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective: money is not inherently good or evil—but it can quickly become a place where our hearts drift. Through Scripture and personal stories, the hosts encourage families to reject both fear-based scarcity and indulgent excess, instead embracing a posture of faith-filled responsibility.  The Raising Godly Girls Minute featuring Patti Garibay reinforces a powerful truth—our daughters are watching. The habits we model today will shape how they approach money tomorrow. From family budget conversations to everyday spending decisions, our example matters more than we think.  You'll also hear honest reflections on the financial pressures facing the next generation—from rising costs to economic uncertainty—and how we can equip our girls with something far more valuable than wealth: resourcefulness, gratitude, and trust in God. Because ultimately, the goal isn't to raise girls who are rich—but girls who are faithful stewards of whatever God provides.  With practical tools like distinguishing between needs and wants and inviting your daughter into the "why" behind your saving habits, this episode equips you to bring faith into everyday financial decisions—right where your family lives.    Two Things to Remember:  Be honest about the difference between wants and needs in your family's spending.   Let your daughter see the "why" behind your saving habits—connect it back to your faith in God.     Scriptures Referenced:  Matthew 6:11   1 Timothy 6:10   Philippians 4:11–19   Psalm 23:1    Visit raisinggodlygirls.com for more encouragement and faith-based parenting tools.   Learn how to find or start an American Heritage Girls Troop in your community at americanheritagegirls.org.    

In this thought-provoking episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Melissa Bearden kick off a powerful new series centered on the Book of Genesis and its relevance for today's families. With warmth, curiosity, and a shared love for Scripture, they begin at the very beginning—exploring the creation account and what it reveals about God's nature, His design, and His enduring truth.  From imagining the wonder of each day of creation to unpacking why it matters that we teach our girls the truth of Genesis—not just as a story, but as a historical and theological foundation—this conversation invites moms to think deeply about how a Biblical Worldview shapes everyday life. In a culture filled with competing origin stories and growing uncertainty, this episode gently but confidently points families back to the unchanging truth: "In the beginning, God."  You'll hear encouragement to guide your daughter in understanding not just where she comes from, but Who she belongs to. Through the Raising Godly Girls Minute featuring Patti Garibay, listeners are reminded that God is a "full-circle God"—the same God who created the world in Genesis is the One who is making all things new in Revelation. That truth anchors our faith and gives our girls a steady hope, even in a broken world.  Whether you're navigating big worldview questions with your daughter or simply looking to deepen your family's trust in Scripture, this episode equips you with practical encouragement to parent with eternal perspective. You'll walk away inspired to help your girl see God's hand in creation, trust His plan, and live with confident hope for what's to come.    Two Things to Remember:  Teach your girl to think eternally—this world is not all there is, and God's plan is still unfolding.   Encourage her to hope expectantly—God is actively at work, even when we can't yet see it.     Scriptures Referenced:  Genesis 1–3   Revelation 21:5   Matthew 6:10 ("on earth as it is in heaven")    Visit raisinggodlygirls.com for more encouragement and faith-based parenting tools.  Learn how to find or start an American Heritage Girls Troop in your community at americanheritagegirls.org.      

Jocko Willink's story reads like an adventure novel that takes us from the serene landscapes of a small New England town into Navy SEAL training, the Iraq War battlegrounds, and a multifaceted civilian life of entrepreneurship and leadership consulting. “I always wanted to be a commando of some kind as soon as I realized that you could actually get paid to carry a machine gun,” he says.Joining the Navy out of high school and going through the notoriously demanding BUD/S training, Jocko spent most of the next two decades on active duty as a SEAL, platoon commander, and then a task unit commander in his final deployment. Jocko took on the role of the officer in charge of all of the advanced training for the West Coast SEAL teams. His discipline and extreme personal ownership defined him not just as a soldier but as a leader among leaders. Things are about to get real as I'm hunkered down in a small, dark bunker-style room blacked out with soundproofed walls. There's a spotlight overhead, like a scene from a movie when someone is being interrogated. I'm sitting at a table filled with an assortment of large machetes and hunting knives. This is Jocko's San Diego podcast studio nestled in Victory MMA and Fitness. We talked in depth about his origin story and keen ability to spot, start, and invest in great business opportunities.Support the show

Let It Be Enough: Escaping the Comparison Trap in Running and LifeIn episode 462 of the Real Life Runners podcast, we dive into the comparison trap and how easily runners can fall into measuring themselves against others—or even against past versions of themselves. Whether it's pace, fitness, race results, or life circumstances, comparison often steals joy and makes us feel like what we're doing isn't enough.We start by discussing the Cocodona 250 and Rachel Entrekin's incredible overall win and course record, along with the conversations it sparked around how accomplishments are measured. We explore the mindset shift of “Why not you?” and how often we place limits on ourselves before we even begin.We also reflect on seasons of transition, from graduations to changing training goals, and the reality that pride, grief, excitement, and uncertainty can all exist at the same time. Sometimes moving forward requires letting go of old expectations and embracing who you're becoming instead of trying to recreate who you used to be.We close with reminders to trust the process, celebrate where you are, and build the future version of yourself one step at a time.02:23 Cocodona 250 Explained07:13 Rachel Wins Overall08:24 Comparison Trap Debate16:52 Why Not You Mindset21:27 Hypotheticals and Depth23:38 Gender Gap Nuance24:56 Celebrate Wins Without Comparison26:30 Graduation Seasons and Letting Go30:53 Closed Doors New Training35:01 Let Go to Let In37:52 Build Who You're Becoming39:57 Ironman Grit Over Time46:03 Two Truths at OnceJoin the 30 Day Running Reset and get a plan that will help you build a strong and injury-proof body by combining running and strength training in a way that actually works for runners like you.Gain access to my new secret podcast, Unbreakable: The Runner's Guide To Injury-Proofing Your Body After 40.

6:00 HOUR: The Tigers have dropped 12 of their last 14, Two things that stood out from Trajan Langdon's press conference

As Memorial Day approaches, many families begin to reflect on what it truly means to love and honor our country. In this meaningful episode of Raising Godly Girls, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Melissa Bearden step into a timely and sometimes complex conversation: how do we raise daughters who hold both a deep love for God and a healthy, grounded appreciation for their country?  From heartfelt memories of national unity in the days following 9/11 to personal traditions like placing flags on veterans' graves, this episode invites moms to consider how patriotism is formed—not just in grand gestures, but in quiet, intentional discipleship moments at home.  You'll hear wisdom from AHG Founder & Executive Director Emeritus Patti Garibay in this week's Raising Godly Girls Minute, where she reminds us that patriotism and faith are not at odds—they can beautifully coexist when rooted in truth. By guiding our girls through both the triumphs and the trials of our nation's history, we help them develop a deeper, more honest understanding of what it means to be a Godly citizen.  Rachael and Melissa also offer practical encouragement for navigating today's cultural noise—where opinions about patriotism can feel loud and divided. Instead of fear or confusion, this episode points families toward peace, gratitude, and Biblical clarity. You'll be reminded that while conflict has always been part of the human story, God's design is rooted in peace—and our daughters can be active participants in bringing that peace into their communities.  Whether it's through conversations around the dinner table, participating in Memorial Day traditions, or serving those who have sacrificed for our freedom, this episode equips you to disciple your daughter with both conviction and compassion.    Two Things to Remember:  God's design is peace—even in a world where conflict exists, your family can reflect His heart in your home and community.   Honoring the fallen this Memorial Day helps ensure their sacrifice is remembered and valued for generations to come.     Scriptures Referenced in This Episode:  John 15:13   Galatians 5:22–23   Genesis 1–2    Visit raisinggodlygirls.com for more encouragement and faith-based parenting tools.   Learn how to find or start an American Heritage Girls Troop in your community at americanheritagegirls.org.        

When looking back, what are some things that has happened to you that you thought never would? Furthermore, what do most men believe will never happen to them in their lifetime? Why do people depend solely on prayer instead of just putting in some actual work? The fellas discuss the importance of never falling off and how to avoid "finish line syndrome"...Let's Pod!

In this episode, I explore the concept of holding two things at once, a practice that has become central to my own experience, especially during a recent personal transition. I discuss how we're often conditioned to assign a single emotional label to any given moment, leading us to suppress or feel guilty about other valid feelings that arise simultaneously. The core teaching is that life, in its most meaningful moments, is rarely simple and often involves a complex interplay of emotions and experiences, such as joy and grief, or love and resentment. Key takeaways include recognizing that our "story" layer often simplifies experience, while the raw experience itself is multifaceted, and that every moment is both a first and a last, making it precious. This practice is relevant to navigating life's complexities, from personal relationships and major life events to our own self-perception, by allowing us to be fully present to complicated moments without needing them to be anything else.Explore more at eightfoldpath.com: full transcripts, guided meditations, courses, and Noah AI, an AI you can chat with about any episode or teaching.

Summary: In this episode, I talk about two very common mistakes anxious people make that actually keep anxiety cycles going stronger: responding with urgency and treating every thought, feeling, or sensation as incredibly important. I share a personal story from volunteering at a school bake sale, where I caught myself rushing, overperforming, and reacting as if everything was high stakes, even though there was no real danger present.

When you build from vision instead of reacting to everything around you, your homeschool starts to feel like something you are intentionally building — not just surviving.✅2 practical activities to do this week to add purpose in your homeschool✅Why a homeschool without vision is just a pile of lessons✅The 1 sentence that gives your entire homeschool a clear direction✅The question that reveals if you are building something or just staying busy✅Why reactive homeschooling is keeping you exhausted and stuckGrab the free resource mentioned in this episode and start building a homeschool with real vision and direction today.Resources for You Homeschool Freedom Boot Camp: A 5-Day Live Experience (begins May 12) Raising Leaders Not Followers Course VIP Wait List - FREE with exclusive benefits & events, just for our VIPersShow Notes:The Missing Piece in Your Homeschool: VisionIf your homeschool feels reactive, scattered, or like you're just trying to get through the day — you're not alone. A lot of us homeschool moms, homeschooling starts to feel like just a big string of tasks instead of a clear direction of where you are going. And some of that is because we are just giving our kids tasks. We are developing followers. They're not thinking for themselves.Followers complete tasks. But leaders live from vision. A homeschool without vision is just a pile of lessons. A homeschool with vision gives you, mom, a path to shape your child, a path to make wise decisions, and a path to prepare for the upcoming school year.Susanna Wesley Parented with IntentionI've talked about Susanna Wesley many times, but I want to go in a little different direction with her today. She was a mom who parented with intention. She didn't just drift around. She had 19 kids — and she raised a large family without her husband there many times.And yet she still set aside time, even with a large family, to teach her children individually and regularly. About once a week or once every other week, she spent time individually with each of her kids. She didn't just manage behavior. She wanted to shape their minds and their hearts with a purpose.Two of her sons, John and Charles Wesley, became very strong leaders in the Christian community. John Wesley began the Methodist denomination. Charles Wesley wrote over 4,000 to 6,000 hymns. They are the fruit and the results of an intentional mother.I bet you would like your kids to be raised up like that — so that when they are adults, they are leading for Jesus and influencing for Jesus.What Susanna Wesley Actually DidSusanna Wesley realized education was more than academics. Here are a few of the things she made sure were going on in her home. She had a religious education that included daily devotions, time for worship and singing, and a Sabbath each week. She built routines — for sleeping, for meals, for dining. She worked on her kids being orderly and disciplined and taught them how to self-regulate.Many of us need to be teaching our kids how to self-regulate, because when they have that self-control, they are going to grow up to be a different kind of person. I was listening to a podcast from Revive Our Hearts and they talked about a study done with four-year-olds. Each child was brought in and given a marshmallow. They were told — you can have it now, or if you wait until I come back, you get two.About a third ate that marshmallow immediately. A third waited but not long enough. A third waited for the second marshmallow. When they followed up with these same kids at 18 years old, the ones who waited had self-control, could regulate themselves, and went on to have more successful lives. They had perseverance, strong work ethic, and could deal with frustrations and hard times. Even a four-year-old can begin learning to self-regulate.She also was very purposeful in teaching manners. This is building character. She had a purpose with each of her kids and was teaching them far more than academics — because some of this other stuff is what will truly prepare our kids for adult life.Do You Have a Vision for Your Homeschool?Vision gives your homeschool direction instead of just a bunch of activities. It's what keeps you from making all your decisions based on feelings or what feels urgent. When you know why you are homeschooling, your choices get clear. You stop asking what do I do next and you start asking what are we building.For me, I wanted to build my kids to think critically and think biblically. That is homeschooling and mothering with intention — and it is very different than reactive.If you have a reactive homeschool, you're just chasing whatever the curriculum trends are, copying other moms because it looks like the right thing, changing direction constantly. But when you homeschool with intention and purpose, you are choosing tools and activities that match your family's goals. God made you different. He made your kids different. You need a vision for your homeschool.Public school trains your kids to follow a system and wait for someone to tell them what to do. Christian homeschool vision trains kids to follow the truth.Two Things to Do This WeekFirst, write one sentence that says what you want your homeschool to produce in your child. It doesn't need to be fancy — it needs to be simple and easy to understand. You might even put it on a sticky note wherever you sit down to homeschool or where you do your planning. Character, faith, confidence, wise thinking, a love of learning — what is it that you want to build in your children?Second, pick one thing you already do in your homeschool and ask yourself — does this support our vision, or does it just fill up time? That one question can save you from a lot of busy work you don't need to be doing. You don't need more guilt, mom. You need direction.What Happens When You Stop Copying Everyone ElseJanelle Kudson — she has seven kids — said she became so consumed with academics, and then God showed her there were more important things than just a rigorous academic experience. When she realized this, the way she saw homeschooling changed. She stopped measuring her success by checking off the checkboxes and started measuring it on a long-term foundation.Are you building a long-term foundation? You may not see the results for years to come, but you should be making small steps each and every year to give your kids a solid foundation from where they can move into adult life. That's what happens when you stop copying everyone else and start homeschooling on purpose — your family's purpose. And that's really what raising leaders is all about. Knowing where you are going.I've got a few events this month, and one of them is our Homeschool Freedom Boot Camp. We spend one day on vision and goals so that you can know exactly where you're headed. It is a five-day live experience — six days if you come as a VIP.If you've been homeschooling reactively — just reacting to everything and copying everyone else — this is your chance to shift your perspective. Homeschool Freedom Boot Camp is where we start building a homeschool with direction, confidence, and purpose. And yes, this is the kind of foundation that leads right into Raising Leaders, Not Followers.We begin on May 12th. Join here. You can also join the Raising Leaders, Not Followers VIP list for exclusive access to special bonuses and events in May. I can't wait to see you there.

You want to be emotionally healthy. Most of us do. But if no one ever taught you what that actually looks like — or what quietly works against it — you may be carrying patterns that are draining your peace without you even realizing it. In this episode, Danielle names two of the most common patterns that keep moms emotionally exhausted: blaming others for how you feel, and over-functioning for the people around you. Neither one feels like a problem at first — they can even feel like love. But both quietly steal your emotional freedom. The good news? You can quit them. And this episode will show you how. In this episode, you'll hear: What it truly means to be an emotionally healthy woman — and why most of us were never taught this Why blaming others for your feelings gives away the one thing you actually have control over What over-functioning really is (and why it feels so hard to stop) How both patterns are connected — and how letting go of one makes letting go of the other easier Simple, practical language shifts and first steps you can take this week This is one of those episodes that you'll want to come back to — and maybe share with a friend who needs to hear it too.

Motherhood is no small calling—and if you've ever felt the weight of it, you're not alone.  In this special Mother's Day week episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, Rachael Culpepper and Melissa Bearden bring encouragement, honesty, and a little holy boldness to the conversation. From late-night theological questions in pajamas to the everyday rhythms of meals, messes, and meaningful moments, this episode is a heartfelt reminder that motherhood is full-contact ministry—and none of it is wasted.  With her signature passion, Melissa sets the tone by reminding moms that shame has no place in the life of a believer. Drawing inspiration from Scripture, she paints a powerful picture of walls falling, voices rising, and freedom found in Christ. Because as mamas raising girls in today's world, there's no room for fear or silence—we are called to stand firm, speak truth, and walk in confidence.  In this week's Raising Godly Girls Minute, Patti Garibay reflects on the sacred calling of motherhood and the daily dependence on God it requires. Through prayer, humility, and grace, moms are invited to partner with the Lord in shaping not just their daughters—but generations to come.  You'll also be reminded that motherhood was never meant to be done alone. God provides His presence, His strength, and His people to come alongside you—lifting your arms when you're weary and reminding you that you don't have to carry it all by yourself.  Whether you're in the thick of toddlerhood or navigating the young adult years, this episode is your invitation to take courage, lean into community, and trust that God is working in every faithful moment.  Because even on the hardest days, your King is still on the throne—and He is making all things new.    Two Things to Remember  Nothing is wasted with the Lord. Every prayer, every tear, and every faithful moment matters in God's greater story.   Take courage—Jesus wins in the end. Your hope is secure in the One who is making all things new.    Scriptures Referenced in This Episode  Joshua 6:1–20   Proverbs 22:6   Revelation 21:5    Visit raisinggodlygirls.com for more encouragement and faith-based parenting tools.  Learn how to find or start an American Heritage Girls Troop in your community at americanheritagegirls.org.    

In this deeply honest and powerful episode of Healing Trauma Mamas, we sit down with Lindsay to share her raw and transformative birth journey.After experiencing multiple miscarriages, an unplanned cesarean, and postpartum sepsis, Lindsay carried the weight of trauma, self-doubt, and fear into her next pregnancy. But through intentional healing, mindset work, and support, she chose to pursue a VBAC—and experienced a truly beautiful, redemptive birth.Her story doesn't end there.What followed was an unexpected postpartum complication that led to an emergency transfer, reminding us that birth can hold both beauty and challenge at the same time.This conversation is a powerful reminder that:Two things can be true at onceBirth is unpredictableAnd your story is still worthy, no matter how it unfoldsIf you've ever felt like your birth didn't go “as planned,” this episode is for you.

Have you ever shared your faith and you thought it went well … only to find out later that it wasn't received well?You got pulled aside by your boss, reprimanded, or maybe got a text that a said it wasn't appreciated?Heartbreaking.Then, the next time you feel like you should share the gospel, you remember that last time … and think, “Maybe I don't want to get into that again?”You're not alone. In fact, that's what our text is all about this week in Acts 18 as Paul feels that pressure. Opposition is rising, the cost is real… and it's then where Jesus meets him and says:“Do not be afraid… keep speaking… don't be silent… I am with you.”(Acts 18:9–10)This isn't a call to be fearless — it's a call to be faithful.Because Jesus hasn't changed. He's still with His people. Still building His Church. Still using ordinary lives to do it.Two Things to Think about:1) Where are you tempted to stay quiet right now?2) What would it look like to take one step of boldness?Two Ways to Pray in Preparation:1) That Jesus would steady your heart when fear creeps in.2) That He would use you to open doors for the gospel this week.

Lured Up Podcast 391 Live Streamed on - 4/28/2026 Publish Date - 5/1/2026 Listen to this episode ad-free on our Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/PokemonProfessor  This week we dig in to an interesting juxtaposition in the Pokémon GO Community. It seems the divide between sentiment towards the game is widening. One one hand you have the Trainers that spend a lot of time on platforms like X. They may not have or do not engage with their local Campfire Communities so much of their PGO social interaction is actually para-social. This crowd has been sharing feelings of being unsatisfied with the state of the game. With monthly content updates going from a full disclosure of the month's events to having as few as one announced, is festering feelings of boredom and stagnation. Talks of the game feeling dead and not exciting will show up in most PGO feeds on X, even without searching it out. On the other hand, you have exceptionally robust in-person communities with active Campfires and plenty of meetups. In NJ we are seeing meetups increase in both frequency and turnout. Trainers are engaged and active and the vibes are always excellent. So how could both of these completely opposite takes exist at the same time? On paper they seem as if they are talking about completely different games? There is plenty to unpack and we do our best to find validation where it is warranted. From a news perspective, we have a TON to get through as we speedrun through the May calendar. We have Entei Shadow Raid Day this weekend, followed by the Spring Marathon and Community Day Classic: Deino. Phalanx Super Mega Raid Day takes us up to GO Fest Japan, making this month still pretty packed with action. We also had some fresh news from Niantic about a new branching Timed Research that Trainers will get for free during weeks without an in-game event. Things like Skill, Exploration, and Raiding will all be options to pursue in this new Research. While we don't expect the rewards to be anything crazy, we do think this will be a nice push to supplement some Evergreen Week gameplay. The big news of the week is all about  the debut of Mega Mewtwo at GO Fest. It will set a new precedent for split Mega Evolving Pokémon, which will soon require require specific Mega Energy for each evolution. We now have a ton more info about GO Fests including the rotating spawn pools by type during extended, 9 hour event gameplay days. Things are beginning to look incredible and we are still over a month away. We are so ready for GO FEST!

Hey Friend, Welcome to the Start That Business Podcast, where Christians working a 9-to-5 get the clarity, strategy, and faith-first guidance they need to step boldly into their calling to start a service-based business without leaving their job yet. You launched. You did the hard work of getting your business off the ground. Now what? If you've found yourself back in perfecting mode, tweaking your website, adjusting your pricing, adding another system, this episode is your redirect. After launch, there are only two things that move the needle: leads and sales. Everything else is secondary until you have paying clients. In this episode, we break down why leads and sales are your top two post-launch priorities, what lead-generating and sales-generating activities actually look like for a service-based business, and how to stay in motion even while working a full-time job. By the end of this episode, you will know the two post-launch focus areas that drive revenue and keep your business moving forward long after launch day. I pray this blesses you. .

In superhero movies, every hero has something unique that makes them powerful, but they do not discover their strength alone and they do not use it randomly. They learn what their power is, how it works, and how it impacts the people they are trying to protect. Marriage is very similar. Each spouse has different emotional needs, different ways they feel loved, and different “super powers” they bring into the relationship.I shared how for many husbands, when a wife initiates affection or makes him feel desired, it is like his entire world shifts. It strengthens his confidence, connection, and emotional bond. For wives, when a husband steps in and says “I've got it” without her having to carry everything alone, it feels like emotional relief, safety, and love. It is like someone stepping in to carry the weight of her “battle,” even for a moment. These small actions often speak louder than words ever could.Think of it like superheroes working together on a team. One hero might have strength, another might have speed, another might have the ability to protect or heal. If they all try to operate the same way, the team falls apart. But when they understand each other's strengths and work together intentionally, they become unstoppable. Marriage works the same way. When spouses learn each other's emotional “powers” and love languages, and then intentionally use them, the relationship becomes stronger, safer, and more connected.This is where love as an action really comes in. Just like superheroes do not just say they will save people, they actually show up and act, love in marriage has to be lived out in real ways. It is expressed through words, service, affection, support, and emotional presence that is tailored to what your spouse actually needs.In this episode, we talk about both sides of this, how masculinity and femininity play into these “super powers,” and how understanding your spouse's emotional needs and love language can completely transform your connection. When couples stop guessing and start intentionally loving each other in the way their spouse actually receives love, marriage stops feeling like a struggle and starts feeling like a team working in sync.If you haven't already, go check out the Ultimate Intimacy App in the app stores, or at ultimateintimacy.com to find "Ultimate Intimacy" in your marriage.

Her previous launch record was $70,000 in an entire weekend. After two marketing changes she hit that number in the first 12 hours. No new products. No ads. Same audience. Same amount of content. Just a completely different understanding of what her buyers actually needed to hear to purchase. In this episode of Running With Wolves, Savannah shares a hot off the press client case study — an Australian rave wear apparel brand that went from a revenue rollercoaster of 15-50K on non-launch months to 60K in her first month, then shattered her launch record, all from two content pillars added to her existing strategy. Here's what this episode covers: Why going viral and having a highly engaged audience doesn't automatically translate to sales The market research breakthrough that revealed what her buyers actually cared about — and why it was completely different from what she assumed The two content pillars that replaced her ads and doubled her revenue Why most founders are marketing to the wrong buying trigger and how to find the right one Apply to work with Savannah HERE: http://bit.ly/applywlfpodcast or DM her on Instagram @itssavannahjordan ( / itssavannahjordan ) with your takeaway. client case study, market research, rave wear brand, double sales, organic marketing, no ads strategy, marketing strategy 2026, how to increase sales

Finding love isn't just luck or timing.   It comes down to two learnable skills. Episode 269 of The Feminist Dating Show breaks both of them down so you can start practicing today.   Inside this episode: ✨ The reason going on more dates won't get you closer to the right person. Dating is not a numbers game. It's an act of self-trust. ✨ Proximity to aligned opportunity: why most people are either paralyzed by fear or doing dating busy work, and what to do instead. ✨ Courageous behavior in the face of opportunity: shooting your shot, blessing and releasing fast, asking for what you want on a first date. That's not too much. That's main character energy. ✨ Women who self-silence during conflict are four times more likely to die prematurely. These two skills aren't just how you find love. They're how you stop silencing yourself once you're in it. Work with Lily:

After a few personal updates from these past couple of days since returning to Malaysia, I begin by talking about the new Hong Kong security law that empowers gov’t to search phones and other devices, and why this isn’t quite the big deal as some want to make it seem. Also, I talk about Canada’s search of my phone. (7:54). Next, we take a few minutes for a fascinating look at global gasoline prices (22:05). Then, we look at the REALITY of China’s energy consumption (Hint: its not as Green as it seems)(26:50). Another well-written article from India provides a helpful take on the two things China lacks as it attempts to grow into a world superpower (32:19). Next to last, we work through an eye-opening take by a Chinese writer for a Japanese newspaper, comparing China’s current economic state to Japan’s back before the real-estate bubble burst 30+ years ago (38:50). Last but not least, while looking briefly at this week’s Pray for China cities, I tell the story of the one and only time I was caught red-handed smuggling Christian literature from Hong Kong into China (47:04).
