In this festive wedding season, what if matrimony wasn't here to affirm the intensity of love between two people but a courageous submission to the unknown?  Jennifer speaks with Stephen Jenkinson—cultural activist, author, ceremonialist—about the necessary burdens of love through the ritual of matrimony. With characteristic poetic edge, Stephen challenges the Western obsession with autonomy, authenticity and safety and gestures toward a redemptive cultural project: one of radical hospitality, memory, and the mystery of matrimony as a village-making act.Together they dive into:How matrimony is distinct from weddings and is rooted in mothering culture, not just romantic loveThe lost valence of patrimony, and what it asks of usThe role of the stranger in belonging and village makingWhy being “yourself” might not be the gift you think it isThis conversation reveals how ritual and ceremony thins the membrane with other worlds, makes congress with the divine and helps us honor what's come before —so we might find our place, and responsibility, in what's yet to come.Links & Resources:Order Stephen Jenkinson's newest book Matrimony: Ritual, Culture and the Heart's Work Learn more about Orphan Wisdom SchoolGet Jennifer's biweekly newsletter for radical encouragement on the hard mess of being humanConnect with Jennifer on Instagram or LinkedIn Gratitude for this show's theme song Inside the House, composed by the talented Yukon musician, multi-instrumentalist and sound artist Jordy Walker.

This is part 2 of a 4-part conversation on the work leaders need to do to incorporate belonging in the workplace with author and research Dr. Beth Kaplan. Each episode explores a different theme—clarity, self-awareness, team dynamics, and workplace culture.Before we can lead others into belonging, we need to start with ourselves. This episode explores how self-worth, trauma, and emotional safety play a foundational role in how we show up as leaders. We look at the internal work required to foster belonging—not as a reward for performance, but as a decision to value who we are.

Authentic Self Advocacy: The Pivotal Conversations that Elevate Women LeadersOne conversation can reshape an entire career trajectory. But for most women in leadership, those transformative moments aren't handed to us—we have to create them ourselves. This reality highlights a crucial gap in how women navigate professional growth: while we excel at delivering results, we often struggle to advocate for the recognition and advancement we've earned.Ashley Rudolph's story challenges this pattern. Six years into her career, she experienced something revolutionary—a manager who proactively painted a vision of her potential, complete with five slides mapping her trajectory from her current role to director level and beyond. This wasn't just career advice; it was someone seeing possibilities in her that she hadn't yet imagined for herself. That single conversation shifted how Ashley approached every subsequent professional interaction.But here's the deeper truth: that experience was exceptional because it's so rare. Most of us operate in environments where we have to initiate these conversations ourselves, translate our expertise across different audiences, and fight against systemic patterns that keep us focused on performing rather than advancing. This episode explores how to bridge that gap between technical excellence and authentic self-advocacy.Key Insights from this episodeThe Vision Conversation: When Someone Sees Your Potential Before You DoHow Ashley's manager created a roadmap from her current position to director level, including salary and impact projections—and why this type of conversation is revolutionary for women who often focus on execution rather than advancement. The power of having someone paint a long-term vision that extends beyond immediate responsibilities to show what's truly possible.Breaking Out of the Peer Circle: Looking Beyond Your Current LevelWhy high-performing women often get trapped in lateral relationships instead of building connections at higher levels. The strategic shift from working hard in isolation to actively observing and learning from leaders above you, and how this change in perspective transforms your entire approach to career development.The Success Guilt Trap: When Achievements Feel Like They Should Be EnoughHow cultural messaging about being "lucky to be here" and "don't rock the boat" keeps high-achieving women from asking for more. Exploring why success guilt particularly impacts women who've broken barriers, and how this mindset actually limits both individual growth and systemic change for other women coming behind us.From Performance to Advocacy: Learning to Ask for What You WantAshley's pivotal moment realizing that working hard wasn't enough—she had to explicitly ask for advancement and compensation aligned with her contribution. The shift from assuming recognition will come naturally to understanding that advocacy is a required leadership skill, not an optional extra.Community as Mirror: How Others Reflect Our Potential Back to UsThe profound role of community in helping us see capabilities we haven't yet recognized in ourselves. How Ashley's transition from corporate to coaching was guided by former colleagues who saw her potential as a mentor before she identified it herself, and why listening to external feedback can reveal authentic strengths.Translating Expertise Across Audiences: Speaking Multiple Leadership LanguagesWhy high achievers often get trapped in technical details that don't land with every audience. The critical skill of communicating the same expertise differently depending on whether you're talking to entry-level team members or C-suite executives, and how this flexibility becomes essential for authentic influence.Beyond Work Identity: The Whole Person in LeadershipAshley's discovery that transitioning from corporate titles to independent coaching required rebuilding her sense of self beyond professional achievements. How developing interests and expertise outside work makes you a more compelling leader and provides grounding when professional identity shifts.Heart-Centered Leadership: Seeing Others in Your VisionHow authentic leadership moves beyond personal advancement to creating space for others to see themselves in organizational goals. The difference between casting a vision that serves you versus creating visions that allow team members to grow their own aspirations within the larger framework.Conclusion: The most powerful career conversations happen when we stop hiding behind our skills and start bringing our whole selves—heart, vision, and authentic voice—to the table. Advocacy isn't about demanding recognition; it's about clearly communicating how your contributions align with organizational priorities and painting a picture of mutual growth. When we model this integrated approach, we don't just advance our own careers—we create systemic change that elevates other women leaders who are watching how we navigate these crucial moments.Mini Challenge: Identify one person at a level above you whose leadership style resonates with you. Observe how they communicate across different audiences this week, then practice adapting one of your current projects to speak to both peer-level and executive-level concerns.NEXT EPISODE: Watch out for our next conversation about authentic power in leadership transitions.Ready to elevate your leadership conversations?

In this sobering and deeply reflective conclusion to Proverbs chapter 5, the Morning Manna team unpacks verses 20–23, revealing how God views the secret motives, habits, and spiritual choices we make over a lifetime. What begins as a warning against the seductive “strange woman” is elevated into a powerful metaphor for sin in all its forms—sexual, spiritual, financial, relational. The teaching drives home that God's eyes do not blink; He sees and ponders all our paths.Rick and Doc explore:The intoxicating allure of sin and how it captivates usThe symbolic meaning of the “strange woman” as spiritual adulteryHow our own iniquities become self-made trapsGod's role not as a punisher, but a pondering, grace-filled Father who desires repentance and restorationThe terrifying truth that some may die without instruction, having rejected wisdom their entire livesThis episode is a call to personal holiness, a plea to break the cords of sin through repentance, and a reminder that nothing is hidden from the unblinking eyes of the Lord.Join the leading community for Conservative Christians! https://www.FaithandValues.comYou can partner with us by visiting https://www.FaithandValues.com/donate, calling 1-800-576-2116, or by mail at PO Box 399 Vero Beach, FL 32961.Get high-quality emergency preparedness food today from American Reserves!https://www.AmericanReserves.comIt's the Final Day!

In this profound reflection, we explore what it truly means to follow Jesus as “the Way, the Truth, and the Life.” Drawing from Scripture, the words of Saint Augustine, and deep spiritual insight, this episode challenges us to recognize that what we seek from God may already be within us.✨ We meditate on:Why Jesus says, “You know the way.”What it means for Him to prepare a place for us.The connection between faith, longing, and spiritual preparation.The “mansions” in the Father's house—and how we are being shaped to dwell in them.Why some recognize Christ's voice, while others still ask, “Where are you going?”

WATCH ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/Uovkiigw4gwWhat if the thing that nearly destroyed you… became the thing God used to heal others?In this raw and redemptive episode, Jerrad sits down with Sammy Perez, a man who grew up without a dad, entered the system at age 8, and spent much of his early life in prison. But that's not where the story ends. Through a prison cellmate, an unexpected visitation, and the unlikely love of a spiritual father, Sammy's life was completely turned around.Together, they talk about father wounds, the ache for belonging, how prison both broke and saved him, and the long road to healing as a man and dad. Sammy shares the tear-filled moment he gave his life to Jesus behind bars, the first time he saw his son through glass, and how God turned his pain into purpose.This is one of the most powerful stories we've ever told.What You'll Learn:Why boys without dads often become men without directionHow shame disconnects us from our story and how healing reconnects usThe surprising moment Sammy met his son for the first timeWhat it looks like to father when you were never fatheredHow a consistent man named Terry changed everythingWhy God's love can rewire even the hardest heartsThe full-circle moment that brought Sammy back into prisons… this time with purposeMentioned in This Episode:Prison Fellowship's Angel Tree ProgramSammy's work helping former prisoners reintegrate into societyThe story of Clarence; the cellmate who wouldn't stop asking Sammy if he wanted to know JesusJerrad's teaching on 2 Kings 6 and the power of new perspective

Welcome to The Re-Mind Podcast with Dr Ashleigh Moreland and David Masterton. This week, we're re-examining a word that gets thrown around everywhere: resilience.Is resilience always a virtue, or have we misunderstood what it means to “push through”?Ashleigh and David unpack:Why the old definition of resilience (“just push through!”) might actually harm usThe link between chronic override, burnout, and early mortalityHow resilience is less about “toughening up” and more about adaptability, flexibility, and nervous system healthThe hidden costs of self-abandonment and people-pleasingHow to check in with your real capacity before you override yourselfWhy it's okay (and wise) to change your mind and honour your evolving needsTogether, they explore how to shift from dysfunctional “push through” to a more authentic, self-honouring approach to challenges. If you've ever felt praised for overriding your needs—or struggled to tell the difference between true resilience and self-neglect—this episode invites you into honest reflection and gentle self-compassion.True resilience is about flexibility, not rigidityChronic self-override leads to burnout, illness, and emotional numbnessCapacity is about more than time—it's energy, nervous system, and contextYou're allowed to change your mind as your needs evolveThe healthiest resilience adapts and honours both inner and outer realityWe love your stories and questions!

Feeling stuck in overthinking mode? This episode is for you.When you're trying to make a decision, it's easy to think more research and better planning will finally bring clarity. But that's now how decision-making works.In this episode, we explore:The real reason we overthink, and how to catch it in the momentHow a sneaky pattern called "metric fixation" can distract you from what actually mattersWhy long-term predictions based on short-term experiences often fail usThe difference between analysis paralysis and intentional research How trial and error can teach you more than the perfect plan ever couldIf you're craving momentum but feel blocked by your own thoughts, this conversation will help you shift from spinning to stepping forward with more confidence and less pressure to get it “right.”

In this powerful episode, Rudi and Anniston Riekstins unpack the emerging paradigm shift around masculine and feminine energy. For too long, society has glorified hustle, control, and dominance—hallmarks of the old masculine. But there's a change happening. A collapse of the outdated masculine frequency is making space for a more integrated, intentional, heart-led model.Rudi shares his personal journey navigating this transformation—from high-performing hustle to a magnetic stillness rooted in presence and self-knowing. Anniston explains how divine feminine and masculine energies exist in all of us, regardless of gender, and how balancing the two leads to power, peace, and alignment.Whether you're a man seeking deeper purpose or a woman looking to understand the shift in energy around you, this episode will challenge, inspire, and empower you to evolve with grace. In this episode, you'll learn:Masculine and feminine energy exist in all of usThe old masculine is collapsing; the new is rooted in presence, stillness, and loveTrue leadership starts with emotional mastery and intentionalityCreating space is more powerful than dominating spaceYour frequency—your energetic state—is your greatest currencyIntegration of masculine/feminine energy leads to alignment and fulfillment

We always hear about resilience. About being strong. About pushing through.But what if that strength is silently breaking us down?In this powerful and deeply personal episode, I sit down with podcast legend and mental health advocate Dominic Lawson to have the kind of raw, honest conversation two Black men rarely get to have in public. We unpack what it really means to be “the strong one,” why so many of us suffer in silence, and how checking in with ourselves has to become a daily act of survival.Dominic shares how his work in behavioral health shaped his new podcast Mental Health Rewritten, and we dive into everything from burnout and boundaries to the lies hustle culture tells us about healing. If you've ever felt like you're carrying too much, showing up for everyone else, and losing yourself in the process—this one's for you."Sometimes, you gotta put the keys between your fingers and fight the damn wolf."Yeah... it gets that real.

UK Economic Stagnation AnalysisNick Cohen @NickCohen4 talks to Simon Nixon @Simon_Nixon discussed the UK's economic stagnation since 2008, highlighting the impact of financial sector reliance, austerity policies, and Brexit. They analysed Keir Starmer's recent EU trade deal, noting modest improvements but emphasising its limited impact on addressing broader economic challenges. Simon suggested that deeper EU integration could yield greater economic benefits, while Andrew questioned whether rejoining the EU would be politically feasible.Businesses Navigate Political Party ChallengesNick Cohen & Simon Nixon discuss the challenges businesses face in aligning with political parties, particularly the Conservative Party, due to its current opposition to policies beneficial for business, such as the Brexit deal and trade agreements with India. They noted that businesses may seek alternatives to advance their agendas, given the presence of multiple parties in the political landscape. Simon highlighted the economic impact of the recent National Insurance rise, which was implemented to fund social care but has been met with skepticism and uncertainty about its long-term effects on employment and inflation.Economic Policy Challenges and SolutionsSimon and Nick discussed the challenges of economic policy, particularly the reliance on low tax rates and central banks to stimulate growth. They agreed that raising taxes is necessary to reduce debt and ease pressure on central banks, as seen in both the UK and US.Economic Challenges in UK and USThe discussion focused on the economic challenges facing both the UK and the US, with Simon Nixon highlighting how Liz Truss's fiscal policies have left limited room for manoeuver before requiring tax increases or spending cuts. Nixon compared the US situation under Donald Trump, noting that while Trump's tax cuts were temporary, his administration is now pushing through a budget that would increase the deficit by $3.3 trillion over the next decade, primarily to prevent tax rates from rising.Global Economic Challenges and ReformsSimon discussed the global economic challenges facing various countries, including Britain, France, Germany, and Italy, emphasising that no country has a perfect solution. He highlighted the impact of technology, particularly AI, on employment and the need for bold administrative reforms to improve state management. Simon also touched on the Labour Party's sudden rise to power and the lack of comprehensive plans upon taking office, noting the difficulty of implementing significant reforms while in government.Read all about!Simon Nixon's Substack column Wealth of Nations is one of the best and most insightful reads on economics and finance. His latest column - Europe's Crippling Risk Aversion - is here.Nick Cohen's regular Substack column Writing from London on politics and culture from the UK and beyond is another must-read.

Today, we're speaking with Natasha Hakimi Zapata, an award-winning journalist based in Europe. She's also the author of Another World Is Possible: Lessons for America From Around the Globe. The book came out a few months ago and has given me so much hope and inspiration for the United States.Most of us are closer to being homeless than we are to being millionaires, with only one healthcare disaster, a lost job, or another calamity sending us to the brink. Yet, we often still buy into the myth of being "self-made" in the US, hustling hard to get to a better place one day.It's a promise that hasn't been delivered for many. In her book, Natasha travels to nine countries around the world to show how, in those places, instead of promising better futures tomorrow, there is already a better present now.Become a Going Places member for as little as $6 a month.

In this episode of the Gotta Be Saints Podcast, I sit down with Fr. Donald Haggerty, priest of the Archdiocese of New York and renowned spiritual writer, for a sobering and deeply moving conversation on his newest book, The Hour of Testing: Spiritual Depth and Insight in a Time of Ecclesial Uncertainty.With decades of experience in priestly ministry and a profound relationship with the Missionaries of Charity, Fr. Haggerty offers insight into the spiritual challenges of our time. In this episode, we reflect on the fading of faith, the rise of indifference to God, and how Catholics are called not to panic—but to go deeper into prayer, suffering, and redemptive love.We explore what it means to live out union with Christ in the 21st century, how suffering can be offered for souls, and why this era—dark as it may seem—can still be a fertile ground for hidden saints and heroic virtue.Topics Covered:Why the indifference to God may be the greatest evil of our timeHow prayer, sacrifice, and Eucharistic devotion sustain usThe connection between holiness and the dark forces in every ageHow to find meaning in suffering and offer it with ChristWhether we may be entering a time foreshadowing the Passion of the ChurchWhat gives Fr. Haggerty hope in this “hour of testing”Why now is a time not for lukewarmness, but heroic sanctity

Take-Home Notes for the Congregation:1. God's Love Is Relentless and UnconditionalJust like the mother bunny in The Runaway Bunny, God's love follows us wherever we go. Nothing can separate us from it—not fear, failure, distance, or doubt.2. The Good Shepherd Leads—He Doesn't DriveSheep follow the voice they know. Jesus doesn't push us forward; He goes ahead of us, calling us to follow Him in trust and love.3. God Comes to Find Us, Not Just Wait for UsThe gospel isn't just about a light on a distant hill—it's about the God who leaves the fire, steps into the cold night, and brings us home.4. The Image of the Shepherd Is a Comfort—And a CallJesus seeks the lost and brings them home, but He also calls us to do the same. We are invited to follow Him by becoming shepherds—agents of love, compassion, justice, and healing.5. Our Response Is to Follow and Reflect the ShepherdTo live as Easter people is to go where Jesus goes—into the valleys, into the suffering, into the lost places—bringing the light of God's love with us.Reflection Question for the Week:Who in your life might be longing for the warmth of God's love? How can you reflect the heart of the Good Shepherd to them this week?

Is our healthcare system more focused on managing symptoms than truly healing? In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Raj Gupta—renowned wellness expert, media contributor, and author—joins us to challenge the mainstream “pill for an ill” approach and introduce a powerful alternative: treating the root cause, not just the fruit of chronic disease.Dr. Gupta, featured in NBC, FOX News Radio, Reader's Digest, U.S. News & World Report, and more, brings deep insight and a refreshing perspective on what it really takes to reclaim your health. With his upcoming book "Reverse Your Diabetes: Treat the Root NOT the Fruit," he empowers people to break free from the pharmaceutical mindset and embrace science-backed lifestyle changes that make a lasting impact.In this conversation, we dive into:Why the “pill for an ill” model is failing usThe root causes of type 2 diabetes and how to reverse them naturallyThe overlooked role of micronutrients in supporting both mental health and metabolic balanceHow to become your own health advocate in a system that often prioritizes treatment over preventionWhether you're navigating your own health journey or simply curious about a more holistic path forward, this episode will challenge what you think you know about medicine—and inspire you to take back control.

In this episode, Jim breaks down something we've all lost touch with: leisure—not vacations, not performative “self-care,” but the daily, essential ability to check out and truly recharge.From the illusion of optimized rest to the guilt we carry when we're not being productive, Jim explores why doing nothing might be the most human thing you can do today. If you're burnt out, stuck in hustle mode, or just can't remember the last time you lost track of time, this one's for you.What You'll Learn:Why most of us have forgotten how to relax—and how that's hurting usThe difference between looking relaxed and actually being at restHow the wellness industry has co-opted leisure and turned it into another jobReal-life examples of “micro-leisure” that require no agenda, no outcomes, and no trackingWhy true leisure is the antidote to burnout, decision fatigue, and societal edgeThe radical idea that doing nothing… might be exactly what you needQuotable Moments:“Rest has become another job. Even our candles come with to-do lists.”“We took hustle culture, put yoga pants on it, and called it self-care.”“If your rest has a reason, it's not rest. It's just disguised ambition.”“Leisure isn't lazy. It's human.”Challenge to Listeners:Find 15 minutes today. No phone. No goals. No productivity hack. Just exist. And if that feels weird… that's probably a sign you need it.Mentioned in This Episode:Listening to full albums (like Led Zeppelin or Wu-Tang) start to finishSitting in silence, people-watching, or browsing a bookstore with no planThe difference between personal development and disguised productivityPhilosophical reflections on meaning and presenceSubscribe, Share & Review:If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with someone who needs a reminder that it's okay to do nothing—and don't forget to leave a review wherever you listen.

This one's probably a bit of a bleaker episode, but it's about something absolutely fascinating that we should know more about: Antimicrobial resistance. By 2050, it could kill more people than cancer.Now, in this episode I use the terms antimicrobial and antibiotic interchangeably. Technically they're not the same thing — but for the sake of this episode, they are.This is a huge issue we're all facing, and most of us are completely unaware of it.In this episode, I share:The history of antibiotic overuseWhat antimicrobial resistance actually isThe 3 types of microbial resistance — and why they should scare usThe pathogens that are really scary (because they resist antibiotics)Who will suffer the most from rising antimicrobial resistanceHow the anti-vax movement is making it harder to slow the spreadHow gene-editing technology is creating precision antibioticsThe best solution we have to this crisisHow geopolitics influenced Western scepticism about phagesWhy it's hard to use phages in Western medicineAnd the few (but fixable) problems with phagesKey Quotes“More than 1.3 million people every year already die because antibiotics no longer work for them.”More info I mentioned the book the good virus which you can check out here.Find our full podcast via the website here:https://www.nowthatswhaticall.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nowthatswhaticallgreen/You can follow me on socials on the below accounts.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/briannemwest/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@briannemwestLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/briannemwest/For our latest big project, find out more about Incrediballs here: https://incrediballs.com/

Send us a textAs goat owners, understanding diseases that can affect our herds is crucial for maintaining healthy animals and preventing the spread of illnesses. In this episode, Deborah Niemann is joined by Dr. Linda Detwiler, staff veterinarian on the sheep and goat health staff at the USDA APHIS Veterinary Service, to discuss scrapie, a neurological disease affecting sheep and goats.Dr. Detwiler provides an update on the current state of scrapie in the United States, including its history, transmission, symptoms, testing methods, genetic resistance, and efforts to eradicate it.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhat scrapie is and why it matters to sheep and goat breedersHow scrapie is transmitted and its long incubation periodSymptoms of scrapie in sheep and goatsTesting methods for live and deceased animalsThe role of genetic resistance in controlling scrapieChallenges in eradicating the last few cases of scrapie in the USThe importance of slaughter surveillance and official ID in disease controlCurrent progress toward declaring the US scrapie-freeKey HighlightsScrapie is a prion disease with a long incubation period (2–5 years) that affects the brain and spinal cord of sheep and goats.The US has not had a reported case of scrapie since January 2021. To be declared scrapie-free by international standards, seven years without a case must pass.Genetic resistance plays a significant role in controlling scrapie. Certain genetic markers in sheep (e.g., RR at codon 171) and goats (e.g., K at codon 222) indicate increased resistance.Slaughter surveillance has been instrumental in identifying cases. Since its inception in 2003, over 765,000 samples have been tested.Official ID is critical for tracing positive cases back to their source and preventing further spread.Resources MentionedUSDA APHIS Veterinary ServicesWorld Organization for Animal HealthSee full show notes here >> https://thriftyhomesteader.com/scrapie-in-goats-and-sheep/To see the most recent episodes, visit  ForTheLoveOfGoats.comWant to support the content you love?Head over to -- https://thrifty-homesteader.ck.page/products/love-goats-tip-jarThanks for listening!No one ever said raising goats was easy, but it doesn't have to cost a fortune or drive you crazy!

Alhamdulillah today is Friday, which means that today's post is going to be free for all. If you enjoy this post, and want to access all our other posts, consider joining as a BeQuranic Qrew for the price of less than two cups of coffee per month.BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Welcome to Day 24 of the BeQuranic 2025 Challenge. Today's journey brings us to ayah 24 of Surah Al-Mulk—a short but profound verse packed with meaning. Let's dive straight in.Reciting the AyahAllah says:قُلْ هُوَ الَّذِي ذَرَأَكُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَإِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَSay, “It is He who created you and spread you throughout the earth, and to Him you will be gathered.”Reflecting on the MeaningIn this verse, Allah commands the Prophet ﷺ to deliver a powerful reminder: Allah created us, spread us across the earth, and one day, we'll all be gathered back to Him.Let's break it down:1. He created us and spread usThe word ذَرَأَ is fascinating. It doesn't just mean “to create”; it also carries the idea of scattering or spreading. Think about it: humanity started with Adam and Hawa (AS), and now we're spread across continents, speaking thousands of languages, living in diverse cultures.This is a beautiful reminder of our shared origins. No matter where we come from or what we look like, we all belong to one family.2. To Him, we will all be gatheredDespite our differences, our journeys will end the same way—back to Allah. Imagine that moment: humanity, from the first to the last, standing together on the Day of Judgment. Every deed, every word, every intention will be accounted for.This part of the ayah isn't just a reminder of accountability—it's also a subtle call to unity. Why fight, hate, or discriminate when we're all heading to the same destination?A Timeless LessonThis ayah brings to mind the verse from Surah Al-Hujurat:“O mankind, We have created you from a male and a female and made you peoples and tribes so that you may know one another. Verily, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you.” (49:13)Our differences—tribes, races, languages—aren't reasons for division; they're opportunities to connect and learn. At the end of the day, what matters isn't our lineage, wealth, or nationality, but our taqwa—our consciousness of Allah.Action Point for TodayHere's a simple challenge for today:• Get to know someone you don't usually interact with. Maybe it's your neighbour, a colleague, or even someone at the masjid. Strike up a conversation, share a smile, and remember: we all started from the same source.And while you're at it, reflect on how you can embody the prophetic akhlaq—spreading love, unity, and kindness wherever you go.Final ThoughtThis ayah beautifully ties together our origin, purpose, and ultimate destination. It reminds us of who we are, why we're here, and where we're headed.May Allah grant us the wisdom to appreciate our shared humanity and prepare for the day we are gathered back to Him.Jazakum Allahu Khair for tuning in.

Science can change your life. The more we study what makes people develop, grow, learn, and flourish—the more we see how the practical application of scientific findings can help us transform our life and experience—into a life of value, meaning, purpose and true thriving.Yale psychologist Laurie Santos has spent her career investigating the human brain and how it thrives. From her popular Yale course to her podcast, The Happiness Lab, she's communicating actionable and hopeful lessons for how to build lasting habits, cultivate self-compassion, manage complex emotions, and realign our lives toward meaningful happiness.In this conversation with Dr. Laurie Santos, we discuss:How the mental health crisis affecting young people changed her, and how she teaches psychologyHow our brains lie to usThe role of positive and negative emotions in a good lifeHow feeling good can lead to doing goodThe psychological and relational benefits of faith and spiritualityAnd she offers practical insights, science-backed guidance, and powerful exercises for managing misalignment and difficult emotions.Laurie Santos on how to activate psychological science for more happiness and meaning (from the episode):“Some of these factors that we know scientifically do work. From simple behavior changes like being more social, doing nice things for others, just healthy habits  like sleeping and moving your body,  to mindset shifts, to becoming a little bit more present, to becoming more other oriented, to becoming more grateful, more self-compassionate, and so on.There are shifts that we can make that can have a huge effect on how we actually interact in the world.We need to understand that we're not perfect, we're just human. And we will mess up a little bit too. But it's really the journey that   matters.”About Laurie SantosDr. Laurie Santos is the Chandrika and Ranjan Tandon Professor of Psychology at Yale University and host of The Happiness Lab podcast. Dr. Santos is an expert on the science of happiness. Her Yale course, Psychology and the Good Life, teaches students how the science of psychology can provide important hints about how to make wiser choices and live a life that's happier and more fulfilling. Her course recently became Yale's most popular course in over 300 years, with almost one of our four students at Yale enrolled.

Check out Stephanie's music label, Public Secret.“Anybody who has any kind of health challenge will have their mental health affected. There is an impact. Just treating that illness or symptom is not enough; you need to heal the mind. You need to heal the soul. They're all interconnected. There's no reason why medical science, especially when we talk about psychedelics, can't address all of that. For me, that's the ultimate goal, if I can use research as a tool to achieve this then I've succeeded.” – Stephanie Karzon AbramsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

All your relationships—with your spouse, family, and friends—are important but temporary. Your only eternal relationship is with God.The bonds of family and friends help us thrive in this world, but they pale in comparison to the significance of our relationship with the Lord. Today, I'll share some practical ways you can draw closer to God.Connecting Faith and Finances: Why Your Relationship with God Affects Your MoneyYou might wonder, "What does my relationship with God have to do with finances?" After all, this is a blog about money, right? Yes, but it's also about faith. For Christians, faith and finances are deeply intertwined, and the Bible provides three key principles that connect the dots between the two.Principle 1: God Owns EverythingThe first principle is foundational: God created everything, and therefore, He owns everything. Colossians 1:16 makes this clear: “For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.” This means that everything we possess is ultimately God's, not ours.Principle 2: God Has Entrusted Us with ResourcesThe second principle is that God has given us everything we possess. James 1:17 says:“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.” While God owns everything, He has entrusted us with resources to use temporarily as His stewards.Principle 3: God Desires a Close Relationship with UsThe third principle is that God is not distant or detached—He desires a close relationship with each of us. James 4:8 says: “Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.” We draw near to God by obediently following His Word. With over 2,300 verses about money and possessions in Scripture, God has made it clear that He wants us to manage money according to His principles.The Spiritual Impact of Money ManagementIn Luke 16:11, Jesus indicates that God uses money as a test: “If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches?” Jesus is saying that how you handle money affects your spiritual life. When you manage it well—according to biblical principles—you naturally grow closer to Christ. But if you don't, your fellowship with the Lord suffers.Obstacles to Financial FaithfulnessBiblical money management is a practical way to improve your spiritual life, but obstacles can get in the way. Two types of disobedience can prevent us from handling money God's way and growing closer to Him.Passive Disobedience: This is simply laziness. Some people don't want to take the time to organize their finances, create a budget, or track their spending. While these tasks might only take a few hours a month, it's often too much to bother with. Sadly, the same person might spend more time than that watching TV every night, and as a result, their intimacy with God suffers.Active Disobedience: For others, money and possessions actively compete with Christ. Jesus warns us in Matthew 6:24, “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.” Some people believe they can surrender every part of their lives to Christ except for their finances. They might excel at making money, paying bills, saving, and investing, but they refuse to give Christ lordship over their finances. This resistance often centers around tithing or giving to God's Kingdom, leading to a weakened relationship with Christ.Finally, there are those who don't follow biblical financial principles yet believe their relationship with the Lord is just fine. To them, we might say, “What you don't know will hurt you. What are you missing out on?” If that's you, commit to the Lord in earnest prayer and follow through by managing your money and possessions according to His principles.Take the Next StepIf you're ready to align your finances with your faith, start by downloading the free FaithFi app. It will help you set up a budget based on the envelope system and provide you with the best Christian financial content to grow closer to God. Commit to following His financial principles for three months and see if your relationship with the Lord becomes more intimate.Aligning your finances with God's Word is not just about managing money; it's about deepening your relationship with Christ. By faithfully stewarding the resources God has given you, you'll experience the true riches of a closer walk with Him.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My kids are buying their first home, and I've offered to help them with the closing costs. Is giving them a loan or a gift better? What are the tax implications of each option?I just retired about three weeks ago, and I have a mortgage balance left on my house of about $26,000 with a 15-year term. We've been making extra payments, so we could pay it off in the next three years by continuing our regular payments. I have enough money in a Roth IRA to pay off the $26,000 mortgage. Should I keep the money in the Roth IRA or use it to pay off the mortgage?My daughter was in the hospital and had surgeries. The hospital pressured her to pay, so she paid the full balance with her credit card. Then she lost her job. Last week, we got a summons for her to appear in court because the credit card company is pursuing legal action. We just don't know what to do. Resources Mentioned:Rich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

In this episode, I sit down with Eve Rodsky, creator, founder, and author of Fair Play: a life-management and household organization system. Eve and I discuss her feminist upbringing and how her experiences in the corporate world were inhospitable to motherhood, how she created the Fair Play system and why a “blueberry text” from her husband was the catalyst, and why it's essential to change from the reactive to the systematic when implementing change. Eve talks about the burden of invisible work that women so often take upon themselves in the home, she explains how the Fair Play cards work, and we discuss listener feedback on the most difficult parts of the mental load. Finally, we talk about why it's so hard to have these conversations with our partners, what defines a “unicorn space” versus other types of fun, and why it is essential for our happiness and longevity to create “I can't fucking believe I just did that” moments in our lives.Key Takeaway / Points:Why I recommend Eve's method to anyone who will listenOn “Fair Play,” Eve's life-management and household organization methodEve's upbringing in a post-70s feminist waveEve's experience as a young mother in the corporate worldWhy America isn't designed to support mothersOn the goal of being consistently interested in your own lifeWhy “hobbies” are not serving usThe “blueberry text” that led to Eve creating the Fair Play systemOn changing from the reactive to the systematicOn invisible work and “The Shit I Do” spreadsheetA deep dive into how the Fair Play cards workListener feedback on the most difficult parts of the mental loadWhy it's so difficult to have these conversationsWhy society views women's time as infiniteOn the sanctity of “unicorn space”On creating “I can't fucking believe I just did that” moments for yourselfStream the Fair Play documentary on Hulu hereRead Fairplay hereBuy the Fairplay card deck hereThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.
