Podcasts about upholding

We are in a powerful energetic window right now with the Winter Solstice, a New Moon, and a moment of deep reflection and reset. In this Soul Elevation livestream, I explore the energetic reality of people pleasing, boundaries, and the unseen energy exchanges that shape our health, emotions, and life satisfaction. I share personal experiences from my work as a podcast host and former corporate professional to illustrate how over-giving without reciprocity leads to depletion, imbalance, and eventually burnout. This conversation is about understanding your worth as an energetic being and learning how to honor yourself without guilt. We also reflect on the seasonal energy of the Winter Solstice, a natural time of rest, restoration, and inner recalibration. If you have been feeling tired, unmotivated, or in a quiet void, this is not something to fix. It is something to honor. In this episode, you will explore: • Why people pleasing creates energetic imbalance • How energy exchange mirrors a balance sheet • The connection between boundaries and vitality • Recognizing energetic siphoning in relationships and work • How to protect your energy without conflict or guilt • Using the New Moon and Solstice window for intentional reset This is not about keeping score or tit for tat relationships. It is about honoring your energy, recognizing reciprocity, and stepping into self respect as a spiritual practice.

Send us a textA friend who “tells it like it is” can leave deeper bruises than the storm itself. We dive into Job 8 and meet Bildad, the comforter who wields doctrine like a club—equating suffering with secret sin and appealing to tradition as if age could replace discernment. As we read his words, we ask harder questions about truth, love, and how theology should land on a broken heart.We share why the prosperity-innocence formula fails the test of Job's life and the witness of Scripture. Our panel explores the tension between honoring the wisdom of the past and recognizing when it's misapplied in the present. Along the way, we confront a widespread belief about election: did God choose us because He foresaw our choice, or do we choose Christ because He first chose and drew us by grace? That distinction changes how we interpret suffering and how we treat those who are grieving. If grace is first, then accusation has to yield to patience, presence, and prayer.We also unpack Bildad's marshland metaphors—reeds withering without water—and why they don't prove Job's guilt. Christ, the living water, sustains believers even when outward life dries up. Rather than reading providence like a scoreboard, we learn to hold fast to the character of God and the integrity He Himself grants His people. The conversation stays practical: how to avoid weaponizing doctrine, how to use tradition wisely, and how to care for friends without turning into a judge.If you're weary of neat answers to messy pain, press play. Then share your take: where have you seen “truth” used without love, and what restored your hope?

Send us a textPain often draws a crowd of advisers—and not all of them bring comfort. We walk through Job 8 and the cutting claims of Bildad, who reads Job's losses as proof of a godless heart. From that scene we confront a stubborn modern reflex: turning prosperity into a scorecard for righteousness while treating suffering as evidence of hidden sin. Instead, we argue for a bigger frame—God's sovereignty over both blessing and hardship—and show how that truth stabilizes hope when life is stripped bare.We dig into the language of hope as assurance, not wishful thinking, and unpack Bildad's metaphor of the spider's web: intricate, impressive, yet fragile and deceptive. That image becomes a mirror for our own false securities—wealth, reputation, perfect families, and religious performance—that look strong until a single gust tears them down. Along the way, we consider how Jesus himself appeared withered and stricken before men yet was never cut off, and how that lens redefines what “favor” looks like when the crowd misunderstands faithfulness.This is also a conversation about pastoral wisdom. Job's friends morph from comforters to critics, adding weight to a soul already bruised. We offer a different path: presence over presumption, Scripture applied with patience, questions rather than conclusions, and a firm refusal to weaponize providence. If God truly reigns over our trials, then despair is not our only option; we can grieve honestly and trust deeply, anchored in Christ, our blessed hope. If this resonates, subscribe, share with a friend who needs gentler counsel, and leave a review telling us how you've been comforted—or challenged—to comfort others well.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Send us a textWould your confidence hold if your safety net snapped like a spider web? We dive into the exchange between Job and Bildad to examine the difference between real trust and the illusion of security that prosperity can create. Bildad's words land with force because they're half-true: wealth is fragile, plans are brittle, and the plant of success can be uprooted overnight. But he misfires when he pins that charge on Job, equating loss with guilt and suffering with secret sin. We dig into that error and ask what it means to build on a foundation that endures when favorable seasons pass.Along the way, we trace the spider web image through Isaiah 59, where outward activity cannot clothe the soul. We talk openly about how most of us lean on bank accounts, plans, and applause to feel safe—and how the tease of partial success keeps us chasing the next thing. Then we pivot to a saner rhythm: obey God and enjoy life. Paint the wall. Love your people. Be grateful today. Let go of “stuff” so it can stay a gift and not a god. That release doesn't shrink your world; it frees you to hold what matters with clean hands and a steady heart.We also sit with Job's quiet. Silence is not surrender; it can be the place where dependence deepens and words return with weight. True counsel meets suffering with presence, not blame. Common grace is real, empathy is needed, and wisdom knows when a biblical idea is being used in the wrong moment. If you've ever felt accused in your losses or tempted to build your worth on what you own, this conversation offers clarity, courage, and a call back to what lasts.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a sturdier foundation, and leave a review so others can find it.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Send us a textCourage shows its face when comfort leaves the room. We walk through Job 8 with honest eyes, testing Bildad's confident sayings against what God already declared about Job and asking how often we make the same mistake—using true phrases in false ways. Along the way, we zoom out to the bigger story: Moses at the Red Sea, Abraham on the mountain, and the blazing center of it all—Jesus, who embraced poverty, rejection, and a sham conviction so the guilty could go free. If pain proves guilt, what would Bildad say to Christ? That question reframes the entire conversation.We dig into why “blameless” doesn't mean sinless perfection but a reconciled standing. Perfection lives in Christ alone, and that changes how we read suffering. The easy promise—repent and prosper—collapses under the weight of the cross. Restoration is real, but the inheritance is greater than comfort: a robe of righteousness that cannot be taken. We trace Barabbas' release and the true Son's condemnation to expose the deep exchange at the heart of the gospel. Then we bring it home: how systems—religious and political—nudge believers to hush the name of Jesus, and why faith must speak anyway, with courage and compassion.If you've been bruised by verses used as a club, if you've wondered why the upright still ache, or if you're wrestling with pressure to stay quiet about Christ, this conversation offers clarity and ballast. We call each other to read Scripture carefully, apply it gently, and stand firm when it isn't expedient.

Upholding public trust has long been a central tenet of American democracy. But ethical norms have fallen under President Donald Trump even as his net worth has grown. The White House denies conflicts of interest. Ethics experts disagree. Also: today's stories, including how the European Union is impeded by energy needs and foot-dragging member states as it tries to end its dependence on Russian gas; whether the ceasefire in Gaza can go forward if Hamas refuses to disarm; and whether the focus on artificial intelligence should be on unleashing innovation or protecting the people who use it.

Scripture is complete, ending with John's Revelation in A.D. 96. Later writings like the Gnostic gospels contradict the Bible and cannot be inspired. Satan still challenges God's Word, but believers must trust Scripture's truth, read it with an open heart, and find salvation and purpose through Christ revealed in its pages.

On this episode of Your Natural Dog, Angela sits down with Dr. Margo Roman, a veterinarian with over 47 years in practice, to talk about what the veterinary oath really means, and what happens when vets try to speak openly about holistic or integrative pet care. Dr. Roman shares how her Massachusetts veterinary license was suspended for two years after she emailed clients about ozone and homeopathic options, which she's now appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court after losing at the state level. Angela and Dr. Roman also discuss why they believe “do no harm” requires a fuller toolbox: acupuncture, microbiome work, ozone, nutrition, herbs, and the importance of ongoing education after vet school. The conversation looks at how policies, liability fears, and funding ties can discourage open discussion of holistic pet care. They also cover the “spectrum of care” model for real-world budgets, the debate over rabies titers and vaccine exemptions, why gut health is foundational, and practical ways pet parents can stay informed and advocate for more options.Episode Recap:Angela tees up free speech, the veterinarian's oath, and why Dr. Roman's case matters to pet parents. (00:08)The Veterinarian's Oath, and how it extends beyond what's taught in school. (03:15)Dr. Roman describe the lack of options being offered to pet parents by conventional veterinarians, and they discuss the declining numbers of holistic veterinarians. (04:49)Why continuing your veterinary education, from acupuncture to microbiome science, is essential to the “do no harm” oath, and how ignoring proven alternative modalities amounts to denying care.(07:55)Angela shares her experience getting an FDA letter and the pressure to stay silent about holistic education and testimonials. (10:12)Dr. Roman shares the story of her horse with cancer, Champ, who she was told to euthanize, but instead lived for over 8 more years under her care using homeopathy, acupuncture, nutrition, and later ozone therapy. When she tried to show the university her results, they refused to look. (11:50)The pandemic, recommending ozone therapy,  and the veterinary board's response. (13:31)Introduction to “Spectrum of Care” for clients who can't afford gold-standard workups. (15:46)How corporate and government control often limits access to natural options, the vital role of the gut microbiome and the endocannabinoid system, and how mushrooms and hemp have long supported balance in both humans and animals. (17:40)Dr. Roman describes the financial and emotional toll of defending her right to practice integrative medicine, including spending over a million dollars and facing ongoing board harassment. She explains how officials dismiss modalities like acupuncture and ozone therapy without ever studying them, and calls for accountability and open-mindedness among regulators who condemn what they don't understand. (20:10)Dr. Roman argues that forcing veterinarians to vaccinate animals who are already immune or medically fragile goes against the veterinary oath, and shares her own experience with Rabies vaccination and antibody testing (22:43)Being your pet's advocate, what Dr. Roman is working on now, plus ways to support her mission (30:09)Episode Resources:Download Angela's resources & guides at AngelaArdolino.com/podcast-downloadsThe Veterinarian's OathDr. Roman's Urgent Call for Veterinarians to Uphold their Oath and her Medical Freedom For Animals Legal FundDr. Margo Roman v.

How can you do it all at once? It's a question that rings in the mind of many HR professionals, saddled with goal after goal, and for good reason. The workload of HR professionals is mighty, and the deliverables are grand. Upholding a business model, supporting your people strategy, keeping up with everchanging legal issues, all while attempting to plan for the future of work—it feels like carrying an entire tray of freshly shaken bottles of Coca-Cola, waiting to explode. But what if you could work towards these goals all at once, one sip at a time? Sue Lam, VP of People Insights, Strategy, and Culture at The Coca-Cola Company and HCI Advisory Board Member, suggests to the HR world that a proper people strategy can work to help every part of the business, not just the people. Lam is set to speak at the SPARK Talent 2025 conference in San Antonio, Texas in October, where she'll discuss how to not only align but embed your people strategy into your business strategy, and the tips and tricks on how to get there. On today's episode, HR Daily Advisor got to sit down with Lam to get an early look at her insights, and how she's innovating just what HR can do.

Impressive, meaningful and historic — such were the keywords used by global leaders as they marveled at China's military parade commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45) and the World Anti-Fascist War.“令人印象深刻、富有意义且具有历史意义”——这是各国领导人在赞叹中国纪念中国人民抗日战争（1931-1945年）暨世界反法西斯战争胜利80周年阅兵仪式时，所使用的关键词。President Xi Jinping was joined by 26 foreign heads of state and government, as well as parliamentary speakers, deputy prime ministers and high-level representatives from different countries, on Wednesday as he oversaw a parade that showcased a range of China's new military hardware.周三，习近平主席同26位外国国家元首、政府首脑以及各国议会领导人、副总理和高级代表一道，出席阅兵观礼。此次阅兵展示了中国一系列新型军事装备。For the global leaders, the experience at the Tian'anmen Rostrum, where they witnessed the commemoration firsthand, was both awe-inspiring and thought-provoking.对于各国领导人而言，在天安门城楼亲身体验这场纪念活动，亲眼见证阅兵全过程，既令人心潮澎湃，也引人深思。According to a report by Russia's state news agency TASS, Russian President Vladimir Putin described Beijing's commemorative events as "held brilliantly, and simply very well, at a high level".据俄罗斯国家通讯社塔斯社报道，俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔・普京称北京的纪念活动“举办得非常出色，水准极高，令人赞叹”。Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto, writing on his X account, highlighted that the commemoration "serves as a symbol of China's strength and courage as a nation steadfastly fighting for independence, safeguarding sovereignty, and actively playing a role in realizing world peace".印度尼西亚总统普拉博沃・苏比安托在其X平台账号上发文指出，此次纪念活动“是中国作为一个国家的力量与勇气的象征——中国坚定争取独立、维护主权，并积极为实现世界和平发挥作用”。"On this occasion, I conveyed my appreciation for the significant contributions of the People's Republic of China in maintaining global security," he wrote on Thursday, adding, "Upholding the spirit of the Victory Day, let us continue to strengthen the sustainable cooperation between Indonesia and China for the benefit of both countries."“值此之际，我对中华人民共和国在维护全球安全方面所作出的重大贡献表示赞赏。”他于周四写道，并补充道，“让我们秉持胜利日精神，继续加强印度尼西亚与中国之间的可持续合作，以造福两国人民。”The press service of Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev wrote in a post on X that the event reaffirmed Uzbekistan's foreign policy commitment to "fostering friendship and constructive dialogue for peace, sustainable development and prosperity".乌兹别克斯坦总统沙夫卡特・米尔济约耶夫的新闻办公室在X平台的一篇帖子中表示，此次活动再次彰显了乌兹别克斯坦在外交政策上的承诺，即“为实现和平、可持续发展与繁荣，推动友好关系与建设性对话”。In a bilateral meeting with Xi on Thursday, Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa extended congratulations to China for hosting a "spectacular parade", saying the event was "something out of this world".在周四与习近平的双边会晤中，津巴布韦总统埃默森·姆南加古瓦就中国举办一场“壮观的阅兵式”向中国表示祝贺，称该活动“超凡脱俗”。"Undoubtedly, the commemorations will go a long way to promote the correct historical narrative of China's great contribution to World War II. The spirit of resilience of the Chinese people and their ironclad strength will remain a source of inspiration for generations to come," Mnangagwa said.“毫无疑问，此次纪念活动将极大地推动人们正确认识中国在二战中所作出的重大贡献这一历史事实。中国人民坚韧不拔的精神及其坚不可摧的力量，将继续成为激励世世代代的精神源泉。”姆南加古瓦表示。In a video posted on his account on X, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico said that while some people interpreted the parade as a demonstration of China's military strength, he believes the event should "be viewed in the context of the serious statements made by Chinese President Xi Jinping".斯洛伐克总理罗伯特・菲科在其X账号发布的一段视频中表示，虽然有些人将此次阅兵解读为中国军事实力的展示，但他认为应该“从中国国家主席习近平发表的重要讲话这一背景下去看待”此次活动。"The Chinese president made it very clear that the world is facing a choice between peace and war, and that China has the will to play a decisive role in shaping the new peaceful order of the world," he said.“中国国家主席明确表示，当今世界正面临和平与战争的选择，而中国有意愿在构建世界新和平秩序中发挥决定性作用。”他说道。"I once again express my regret that the top representatives of the EU member states were absent from such a global event," Fico said. "If they thought that by doing so they would isolate China's celebrations of victory in World War II, they badly miscalculated."“对于欧盟成员国最高代表缺席这一全球性活动，我再次表示遗憾。”菲佐表示，“如果他们认为此举能孤立中国的二战胜利纪念活动，那他们就大错特错了。”Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said it was an honor for him and his wife to view the event from the Tian'anmen Rostrum, adding that he thanks the Chinese president for "this meaningful and historic experience".马来西亚总理安华・易卜拉欣表示，能与夫人在天安门城楼观看此次活动，对他而言是一份荣幸。他还补充道，感谢中国国家主席给予他“这段富有意义且具有历史意义的经历”。"Beyond the impressive display of China's military assets, the parade stood as a powerful symbol of resistance against tyranny, oppression, aggression, greed for power, colonialism and imperialism — dark chapters in the history of human civilization," he said.他表示：“除了中国令人印象深刻的军事装备展示外，此次阅兵更是反抗暴政、压迫、侵略、权力贪欲、殖民主义与帝国主义的有力象征——这些都是人类文明史上的黑暗篇章。”"Yet, eight decades after the war's end, the world continues to face injustices and atrocities that unfold openly, often without challenge from major powers who speak loudly of democracy and human rights. True peace demands courage and firm conviction to reject injustice in all its forms," he said.他表示：“然而，在战争结束80年后，世界仍在遭遇各类不公与暴行，这些现象公然发生，而那些高谈民主与人权的大国往往对此无动于衷。真正的和平需要勇气与坚定的信念，去抵制一切形式的不公。”Miguel Diaz-Canel, first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and Cuban president, said on his social media account, "Between a millennial history and a present that inspires millions, China leads today the battle for the rescue of multilateralism and global governance."古巴共产党中央委员会第一书记、古巴国家主席米格尔・迪亚斯-卡内尔在其社交媒体账号上表示：“在拥有千年历史的积淀与激励着数百万人的当下之间，中国如今正引领着维护多边主义、完善全球治理的斗争。”"Proud to support and share those postulates, Cuba is honored to attend the commemoration of the V-Day," he wrote.“古巴自豪地支持并认同这些原则，能出席此次胜利日纪念活动，我们深感荣幸。”他写道。Former Japanese prime minister Yukio Hatoyama said in an interview on his return to Japan after taking part in the V-Day events that he was deeply struck by the conviction that Japan must learn from history in order to face the future.日本前首相鸠山由纪夫在出席胜利日活动后返回日本接受采访时表示，他深切感受到，日本必须以史为鉴，才能面向未来，这一信念给他留下了深刻印象。"I, as a Japanese, attended the commemoration with a sense of reflection and remorse. I am grateful to have been invited to take part in the ceremony; it was highly meaningful," he told China Central Television.他在接受中国中央电视台采访时表示：“作为一名日本人，我怀着反思与愧疚的心情出席了此次纪念活动。非常感谢能受邀参与这一仪式，它具有极高的意义。”

The Dean's List with Host Dean Bowen – Trump's decision to federalize D.C. police echoes Lincoln's warning that America's greatest threat comes from within. Upholding the rule of law, as Lincoln urged, protects civil and religious liberty. From the founders' vision to today's challenges, the call remains: every citizen must respect the law to preserve freedom for future generations...

In today's deeply polarizing society, we've become too comfortable with whitewashing—rewriting culture, truth, and identity to fit a more convenient narrative. We're constantly told by con artists, influencers, and marketers that certain things are "normal," when in reality, they're anything but. In this episode of the Wabi Sabi podcast, I felt it was necessary to draw a firm line—to call out where we've compromised and where we've allowed culture to be diluted. I use Matcha as one clear example. If I don't uphold the values of my own heritage—publicly and with conviction—I wouldn't be doing my job as a journalist. This episode is about reclaiming your roots. It's about learning from where you came from, understanding why that matters, and how honoring those truths can actually improve your life. These are free tools and reminders that anyone can use—anytime. And if you're feeling stuck, that's okay. You're not behind. You already hold the keys to unlock your next chapter. Let's get into it.
