At today's Midweek Service, Pastor Femi Paul continued the powerful series on “Learning, Unlearning & Re-learning” with a message titled: “Learning from the Past – Pathway to Game-Changer Results in Life!” Drawing from 1 Corinthians 10:11 (TLB & MSG), he highlighted how the Bible provides not just spiritual instruction, but also real-life lessons. The past, both ours and others' is full of warning markers and object lessons meant to guide us away from error and toward wisdom. Pastor made it clear: Fools don't learn because they're too in love with their own opinions. Quoting Proverbs 12:15 and Proverbs 18:2, he challenged us to check our hearts—Are we truly teachable? he contrasted the wisdom of the teachable with the stubbornness of fools. Wisdom doesn't just come from age or experience — it comes from humility and the willingness to learn. When we ignore the lessons of the past, we risk repeating the same mistakes over and over again. But when we learn from history, we can break cycles, shift outcomes, and become true game-changers in life.

Philip Gulley, Peterson, and Sweet Miche share their personal journeys of unlearning traditional theological concepts and reflect on what makes Quakerism a meaningful path to a more authentic faith. Gulley highlights fear as a significant motivator for religious beliefs and a tool for control and how the current political moment is a masterfully evil manipulation of human fears. Gulley also offers his perspective on the continued usefulness of organized religion, emphasizing the importance of bringing people together, respecting personal autonomy, and aligning its social efforts with the ethos of Jesus and radical love. Philip Gulley is a Quaker pastor, writer, and speaker from Danville, Indiana.  Gulley has written 22 books, including the Harmony series recounting life in the eccentric Quaker community of Harmony, Indiana, and the best-selling Porch Talk essay series. Gulley's memoir, I Love You, Miss Huddleston: And Other Inappropriate Longings of My Indiana Childhood, was a finalist for the Thurber Prize for American Hor.  In addition, Gulley, with co-author James Mulholland, shared their progressive spirituality in the books If Grace Is True and If God Is Love, followed by Gulley's books If the Church Were Christian and The Evolution of Faith. In  Living the Quaker Way: Timeless Wisdom For a Better Life Today, Gulley offers the opportunity to participate in a world where the values of the Quaker way bring equity, peace, healing, and hope. In his most recently published non-fiction work, Unlearning God: How Unbelieving Helped Me Believe, Gulley describes the process of spiritual growth, especially the re-interpretation of the earliest principles we learned about God. Resources Here are some resources for friends in the process of unlearning and seeking spiritual growth: Therapy Therapy and spiritual growth can be deeply complementary. While therapy doesn't typically provide spiritual direction, it creates fertile ground for unlearning and spiritual development. You can use online therapist directories to find a therapist by location, insurance, specialty, cost, and more at Psychology Today, TherapyDen, or Open Path Psychotherapy Collective. Poets and Authors Audre Lorde is a profoundly influential Black lesbian feminist writer, poet, theorist, and civil rights activist. Her work powerfully explores the intersections of race, class, gender, sexuality, and ability. You can read her essays in Sister Outsider and her "biomythography" Zami: A New Spelling of My Name. Federico Garcia Lorca is one of Spain's most important poets and playwrights of the 20th century. His work is celebrated for its intense lyricism, surreal imagery, and passionate exploration of themes like love, death, desire, oppression, and Andalusian culture, particularly in works like Gypsy Ballads and plays such as Blood Wedding and The House of Bernarda Alba. Walt Whitman is a central figure in American poetry, often called the "Bard of Democracy." Whitman revolutionized poetry with his use of free verse and expansive lines. His lifelong work, Leaves of Grass, celebrates the individual, democracy, nature, the body, spirituality, and the interconnectedness of all life, aiming to capture the diverse spirit of America. Mary Oliver is an American poet who focuses on the natural world, particularly the landscapes of New England.  Her work finds wonder, spirituality, and profound insight in quiet observation and moments of attention to nature, inviting readers to connect more deeply with the world around them. Christian Wiman is a contemporary American poet and essayist known for his unflinching honesty and intellectual rigor in exploring themes of faith, doubt, suffering (often drawing on his own experience with chronic illness), mortality, and love.  Joy Harjo is a member of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation and served as the first Native American U.S. Poet Laureate. Her work weaves together Indigenous history, spirituality, myth, social justice, resilience, and a deep connection to the land, often infused with the rhythms of music and prayer. Akwake Emezi is a non-binary Nigerian writer and artist known for their powerful, innovative, and often genre-bending work. Their novels (like Freshwater and The Death of Vivek Oji) explore complex themes of identity, spirituality (often drawing on Igbo cosmology), gender, mental health, trauma, and the body, challenging conventional Western frameworks of selfhood. Elaine Pagels is a renowned historian of religion, particularly noted for her scholarship on early Christianity and Gnosticism. Her groundbreaking book, The Gnostic Gospels, brought non-canonical early Christian texts to wider attention, revealing the diversity of early Christian thought and exploring how political and social contexts shaped religious history and scripture. LGBTQ+ film festivals are events dedicated to showcasing films by, for, or about queer individuals and communities. They serve as vital platforms for representation, providing visibility for filmmakers and stories often marginalized in mainstream media. These festivals (like Frameline, Outfest, NewFest, and countless others globally) are also important spaces for community building and celebrating queer culture. Quaker Voluntary Service is a year-long program rooted in Quaker values. It brings young adults together to live in an intentional community, work full-time in social justice-focused non-profit organizations, and engage in spiritual exploration and leadership development, putting faith into action. Listener Responses We hear directly from Roxanne, who unlearned the idea that any single group holds the definitive spiritual answer, instead discovering valuable truths across diverse practices and traditions through their continuous seeking. On Facebook, friends shared their experience wrestling with the traditional ideas about God they grew up with. Many people mentioned letting go of a harsh or judgmental image of God, questioning core doctrines, and letting go of feelings of unworthiness.

We explore how generational curses manifest as mindset limitations passed down through family lineage, and reveal practical strategies to break free from inherited patterns that hinder personal growth and success.• Generational curses are real but not mystical—they're rooted in mindset patterns and epigenetics• Breaking free begins with awareness of inherited limiting beliefs about money, success, and career paths• Unlearning precedes growth—accepting that past approaches haven't worked creates space for new strategies• Epigenetics explains how trauma and mindsets can be biologically transmitted across generations without changing DNA• Exercising free will is essential to breaking patterns and creating your unique path to success• Fear can be reframed as an ally that shows you care, rather than an obstacle that stops progress• Consistent effort wins any race—even when facing setbacks, persistence leads to breakthroughRemember: you already possess everything needed to break free from generational limitations and create your desired reality.

It is Autism Acceptance and Action Month, and we have Dave Glick as our guest neurodivergent coach and clinician.Today, Dr. Stephanie and Barbara ask David a few questions about behaviors.We ask:Can you differentiate freeze and fawning?What are your thoughts on pervasive demand avoidance?What behaviors can actually change?Can those on the spectrum learn regulation and relational skills? About our Guest & Colleague:Dave writes on his website: https://triadpsych.org/therapists/david-glick/My specialties are quite extensive and diverse, as I have two degrees, one in Education and the other in Social Work. I was originally trained in behaviorism and usually merge behavior therapies with personality trait theories. This approach, while demanding, usually produces very positive results for my clients. My practice is a safe place where people can share and be open. Once trust is established, it becomes a virtual Swiss army knife, in that the therapy is adaptable and useful regardless of the situation. Essentially, I want my clients to be empowered with a new sense of self and confident in their abilities.

In this podcast episode, Tony discusses the challenging process of leaving behind false doctrines and ingrained religious beliefs, likening it to the Israelites' exodus from Egypt. Brewer emphasizes that, just as the Israelites had to learn to depend on God in the wilderness, modern believers must discard false teachings and cultural norms to truly embrace the truth of God's word. The episode also features interactions with listeners and emphasizes the importance of trusting in God during the transition away from comfort and familiarity towards spiritual freedom.   00:00 Introduction and Greetings 00:00 Introduction and Greetings 00:30 Today's Topic: Leaving Egypt 00:30 Today's Topic: Leaving Egypt 00:37 Personal Updates and Community Interaction 00:37 Personal Updates and Community Interaction 01:41 The Struggle of Leaving False Doctrine 01:41 The Struggle of Leaving False Doctrine 02:43 The Wilderness Journey and Its Challenges 02:43 The Wilderness Journey and Its Challenges 04:53 Confronting Long-Held Assumptions 04:53 Confronting Long-Held Assumptions 07:11 The Mental Strongholds of False Doctrine 07:11 The Mental Strongholds of False Doctrine 09:27 The War Between Flesh and Spirit 09:27 The War Between Flesh and Spirit 11:45 Final Thoughts and Encouragement 11:45 Final Thoughts and Encouragement 15:00 Community Engagement and Closing Remarks 15:00 Community Engagement and Closing Remarks

This milestone episode is a powerful and heartfelt exploration of one of the most tender and transformative topics: self-worth.  So many physicians struggle with valuing themselves, charging fairly for their services, and letting go of guilt rooted in self-sacrifice. This episode is inspired by real conversations with courageous clients and a vulnerable moment of my own It is is a call to unlearn the deeply embedded scarcity mindset that pervades our training—and to embrace sustainability, worthiness, and alignment instead. If you've ever questioned what you're allowed to charge, how to talk about your value, or whether you're worthy of being paid well for the impact you offer, this episode is for you. Pearls of Wisdom: Scarcity is medicine's default mindset—and it's unsustainable. Unlearning guilt and martyrdom opens the door to peace, passion, and possibility. When we value ourselves and our expertise, others do too. Charging fairly isn't greedy—it's grounded and essential for sustainability. Pricing isn't about market rate or insurance reimbursements. It's about alignment, reciprocity, and choosing what allows you to serve from peace. Undercharging has hidden costs: resentment, burnout, and a devaluation of your work and wisdom. You don't have to choose between helping others and honoring your worth—you can do both, intentionally and mindfully. Reflection Questions: Where do guilt and fear show up in your decisions about money, time, or value? What would change if you trusted in your impact and led from self-worth? What would peace charge? The mindful moment  will help you notice what arises when you hear conversations about money, scarcity, and value. It's an invitation to pause, breathe, and bring compassion to your experience. If this conversation resonates, know that this is the kind of deep, transformational work I do in my coaching practice and at retreats.  If you're struggling to charge what you're worth, to feel valued, or to hold boundaries from a place of alignment, I invite you to explore working with me one-on-one or in a small group. Learn more about coaching You can also join me at one of my upcoming mindful physician retreats—they are the perfect space to reconnect with your worth, realign your life and work, and build sustainable change in community. To bring this powerful message to your institution, leadership team, or conference, I would love to speak and share my keynote, The School of Unlearning—it's changing conversations and cultures in medicine everywhere.

At today's Special Interactive Service, Pastor Femi Paul kicked off a timely and thought-provoking new series titled “Learning, Unlearning & Re-learning!” Drawing wisdom from scripture, life, and global thought leaders, he unpacked the importance of being adaptable in our spiritual and personal growth journey. Referencing Matthew 11:28–29 (CEB) and Proverbs 15:32 (GNT), Pastor reminded us that learning is not just academic - it is the foundation of wealth, health, and spirituality. As John Rohn rightly said, “Learning is the beginning of everything.” But it doesn't end there. True transformation also involves unlearning what no longer serves us, and re-learning to align with God's evolving truths for our season. Quoting Alvin Toffler, Pastor Femi emphasised that the real illiterate today is not the one who cannot read or write, but the one who refuses to learn, unlearn, and re-learn. Many people get stuck because they “know too much,” live in self-delusion, or are closed off to new ideas. These mindsets limit growth and rob us of the opportunity to walk in wisdom. He challenged us to examine our hearts: Are we opinionated? Resistant to change? Afraid to face the real person in the mirror? If so, we may be holding ourselves back from the rest and renewal Christ offers when we humbly learn from Him.

In this episode we speak with Shane Meyer-Holt—writer, speaker, and co-host of In the Shift podcast—about the impact of capitalism on our understanding of ourselves, our relationships and our need for care. Drawing from his own experiences of parenting, community and faith shifting, Shane reflects on the way neoliberal values have colonised our lives. He invites us to critique capitalist assumptions with a view to building relationships and communities capable of holding the tension between the deep human desires for freedom and belonging. Following the interview Nomad hosts Tim Nash and Joy Brooks reflect on their own experiences of and responses to the impact capitalism has on care in the Church and wider society.  Interview starts at 13m 50s Books, quotes, links → The creation of Nomad's thoughtful, wonderfully ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful, wonderful listeners.

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I dive into a concept That I call, "Head, Heart, Hands" – which is a powerful approach to personal transformation that flips how we typically try to change our lives. Instead of white-knuckling our way through external behavior changes, I explain why it's crucial to start with the internal landscape of our thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and stories.Drawing from my own journey and some wisdom from spiritual smarty-pants like Paramahansa Yogananda, I share how real, lasting change happens when we align our mind and heart first!Think of it like this: if your head and heart are truly on board with a change, your hands (aka: your actions) are way more likely to naturally follow. So, it's not about forcing yourself to stop doing something, but more like shifting your internal perspective - so gradually, but inevitably, the old behavior just doesn't make sense anymore. I talk about how our ego mind loves to keep us in those old familiar patterns, while also crafting stories of guilt, shame, and limitation. But here's the truth: Who you really are is not broken and doesn't need to be fixed. What we need is to unlearn some of the survival strategies that no longer serve us, and also take time to tune into that quieter, loving voice inside us that knows our true potential. If you're feeling stuck trying to change something in your life - whether it's a health habit, a relationship pattern, or a professional goal - this episode offers a helpful way of approaching things. Start by getting curious about your inner world.Ask yourself, “What thoughts are driving my current behavior? What beliefs are holding me back? What stories have I been telling about myself? What identity am I willing to let go?”Remember, “the assignment is alignment” and when your head and heart believe in the change you want to make, your hands will take action to make it happen! KEY TAKEAWAYS:​• Change your thoughts first, your behaviors will naturally follow.•​ “The assignment is alignment.”• Internal alignment matters more than external willpower.•​ Spiritual growth happens when our heads and hearts connect.• Love transforms things quietly; ego/fear maintains old patterns loudly.• Unlearning limiting beliefs can unlock our true potential.• Our identity shapes our actions, even more powerfully than pure discipline.• The Nest - Group Mentoring ProgramBIO:Karen Kenney is a certified Spiritual Mentor, Writer, Integrative Change Worker, Coach and Hypnotist.

What does it mean to unlearn something? Sometimes we learn things in life that are not beneficial to us or those we are supposed to influence for right. When we learn unrighteous thoughts, feelings and behavior not only will these damage us, but they will damage those we influence as well. So we need to unlearn unrighteousness.

In this episode I have a thought-provoking conversation with Dina, a Palestinian healer and guide, about the complexities of wellness in today's world. Dina shares her journey in the wellness industry, her observations on its current state, and her vision for a more inclusive and socially conscious approach. We delve into the challenges of maintaining integrity in wellness practices and the importance of addressing social justice and collective liberation.Key Takeaways:The wellness industry often overlooks social justice and can be disconnected from real-world issues.There's a need for greater responsibility and awareness among wellness practitioners regarding their influence and the importance of creating systemic change.Decolonizing wellness involves recognizing and unlearning harmful conditioning and centering connection to the sacred and collective liberation.Collaboration and community are essential for creating a new standard in wellness that prioritizes collective well-being.Episode Highlights:02:37: Dina discusses her Palestinian heritage and journey in the wellness industry.10:11: The challenge of silence and apathy within the wellness community regarding social issues.17:17: Dina shares her perspective as a Palestinian on the disconnect between wellness spaces and real-world suffering.29:13: The importance of integrating social justice into wellness practices.About the Guest:Dina is a Palestinian healer and guide deeply passionate about women's health, energy, movement, and decolonizing wellness.

In this 5th week in reThinking Everything series, we're challenged to examine what's truly shaping our hearts and minds. Drawing from Colossians 3, we're reminded that transformation in Christ is not just about surface-level changes, but about becoming an entirely new person. The analogy of a secret apartment in a mall vividly illustrates how easily we can let harmful thoughts and habits take up residence in our lives without even realizing it. We're called to 'strip off the old self' and 'clothe ourselves with the new self,' a process that involves both 'digging down' to identify our idols and 'looking up' to set our minds on Christ. This message encourages us to consider: What have we allowed to move into our souls? Are we being transformed by Christ, or unintentionally shaped by the world around us?

This week, I'm reflecting on milestones, expectations, and the reality of navigating your 30s when life doesn't look like you envisioned. From celebrating my tío's 60th with family (and dancing alone, as usual) to catching up with the homies at Iconix and chatting with Tim from Cliffside about his murdered-out Caddy, the weekend had its memorable moments. However, Monday's therapy session revealed something deeper—generational stress, cultural pressure, and the nagging feeling of being “behind.”You hit your 30s, and suddenly, there's no perfect career, no dream house, no great love story neatly tied up in a bow—just you, healing, unlearning, and working to trust the timing of your own life. Most days, it's fine. Other days, the doubt sneaks in. But here's the truth: you are not behind. You are not running out of time. You're simply on your journey back to yourself.Let's discuss it. Also, some advice on being mindful not just of what you eat but of what you consume emotionally, spiritually, and mentally.Stay Golden y'all

Key Points:Johnny Cole's background and passion for men's work Johnny Cole shares his personal story and explains how his father's traumatic military experiences and rigid views on masculinity deeply impacted his own upbringing and understanding of manhood.

They share examples of how they've seen young people have powerful realizations about how these norms have impacted them and their relationships.The role of sports and media in shaping masculinity Cam notes how sports have often provided a socially acceptable outlet for young men to express intimacy and emotion. They also discuss how media portrayals of relationships and can give young people skewed and unhealthy messages about masculinity and intimacy.The importance of platonic male intimacy and affection Johnny emphasizes the devastating impact of boys being discouraged from physical affection and emotional vulnerability from a young age. He argues this leads many men to conflate all intimacy with , contributing to issues like erectile dysfunction and unhealthy relationships.Embracing boyhood and avoiding the rush to manhood Johnny passionately argues against the tendency to vilify boyhood and pressure boys to rapidly transition into a rigid, prescriptive version of manhood.

Hattie lives with Autism and BPD and has been married to her FP for over 20 years, has several queer children, and is an advocate for always growing, reading, learning, writing, and learning about who you are. She was raised in a strict religious environment that did not encourage her to unlearn the ways that religion could be hurtful instead of helpful. I've really admired her application of religion/spirituality as it pertains to loving all people, which has been frankly a trigger for me as a queer, mentally ill, atheist.

Hannah Diviney is one of the most powerful people in pop culture. At just 25 years old, the author, advocate, and actor hasn’t just called out Lizzo for using an ableist slur—she also took on Queen B herself. And she succeeded on both fronts. Which, once you get to know her, isn’t surprising at all. In our Vulnerabilitea House, Hannah reflects on the questions: “How do you see yourself? Is it the same way your loved ones see you?” Answering with incredible vulnerability, Hannah shares how her relationship with her disability has evolved over time and what it was like growing up in a world where the Paralympics seemed like the only visible marker of success. We talk to Hannah about being a part of intimate television history, and Ryan, the love doctor, Shelton manifests a Brad (or Stewie, or Chris, or Michael-Angelo) in her future. Hannah, we are so desperate to be your friend. To watch this full episode on YouTube, click here: https://bit.ly/41vzALg

Tough times for justice, equality, inclusion, and hope these days.With the "anti-woke" attack on DEI, I was wondering how my friend Keith Edwards was doing these days.His practice is one of "aspiring allyship" — how we can all come together to learn and grow, and work for our collective liberation from all forms of tyranny and discrimination.Are businesses, cowering before the Trump/Musk onslaught, running away from diversity, equity and inclusion as fast as they can?Turns out, no.Because these factors are critical to any business that wants to thrive in these turbulent times.As Keith points out, diversity isn't the opposite of meritocracy; it's the only way to get the right people into the right positions.And unlike the performative wokeness that spasmed through society in the wake of George Floyd's murder and the peak of the Black Lives Matter movement in summer 2020, companies that are bringing Keith in now are serious about making their organizations better. No more eye-rolling CEOs and checked-out senior managers.One of the ideas that Keith really hammers home is this: equity benefits everyone, not just marginalized groups. The things that really make our lives worthwhile — freedom, dignity, love, joy — aren't in short supply. In fact, the more of these that you have, the more that I can have as well.Leadership around these issues requires soul-searching, humility, a willingness to change and grow, and mindful presence.I shared my own struggles to become a useful ally with Keith, who shared some of his own "embarrassing moments," and pointed out that we're all "wildly unfinished," and as long as we're open, we can still act with integrity and power.Here are the takeaways that AI thought worth recording:Hope is a practice, not an emotion.Joy is a renewable resource that can be cultivated.Equity involves recognizing and removing unfair barriers.Allyship is about action, not identity.Being effective is more important than being right.Corporate language around DEI is shifting, but the work continues.The murder of George Floyd highlighted systemic issues in society.We are all works in progress and can change our perspectives.Helping marginalized groups ultimately benefits everyone.It's essential to recognize that joy and freedom are abundant resources. When we act for the collective, we are also benefiting ourselves.Mindfulness helps leaders stay grounded and centered.Slowing down can be a powerful leadership tool.Recognizing reactivity is the first step to choosing responses.Unlearning harmful beliefs is a gift to oneself.Aspiring allyship requires self-reflection and humility.Feedback should be seen as a gift for personal growth.Our liberation is interconnected with others' liberation.Performative actions can lead to genuine change over time.Creating accessible pathways for equity is essential.LinksKeithEdwards.comKeith's newsletterKeith's YouTube channelAspiring Allyship program"Riding Shotgun Down the Avalanche," by Shawn Colvin"The Big Payback" episode of Atlanta

Have you ever felt like you were following invisible rules you didn't agree to? Do you catch yourself playing small, staying “good,” or holding back while others take up space? And what if those subconscious beliefs—about power, success, and even desire—aren't actually yours?In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. Scott Lyons sits down with Elise Loehnen, a writer, editor, and cultural critic known for her sharp insights on power, patriarchy, and personal growth. As the former Chief Content Officer at Goop, Elise helped shape the modern wellness landscape before turning her focus to deconstructing the subconscious rules that shape our lives. She is also the New York Times bestselling author of On Our Best Behavior, which explores how deeply ingrained cultural norms—particularly the Seven Deadly Sins—still dictate women's behavior today.Together, Scott and Elise dive into the hidden forces that govern us, how to unlearn restrictive narratives, and why recognizing our own internalized biases is the key to true liberation. If you've ever felt stuck in a system that doesn't quite serve you, this episode will give you the perspective shift you need.Topics We Break Down:The Cultural Programming We Can't See – How we internalize and reinforce social norms without even realizing it.The Patriarchy Isn't Just ‘Men' – Understanding how women also uphold and police patriarchal structures.Envy as a Compass – Why the things (and people) that trigger us the most might be showing us what we truly want.How We Keep Ourselves Small – The self-imposed rules that hold us back, and how to rewrite them.Moving from ‘Against' to ‘For' – Shifting from resistance to creation, and learning how to build the world we actually want.Tune in for an honest, mind-expanding conversation that just might change the way you see yourself—and the world around you.
