Art went out for coffee instead of coming to the studio, leaving Robbie and Jay a choice: talk about Art?  or talk about coffee?  Perhaps there was a little of both.   One of Robbie's entrepreneurial adventures won a major award this fall for the seasonal coffee drink everyone loves to have an opinion on: the Pumpkin Spice Latte.  That excitement led to a discussion about all things coffee.  Methods vary, milk types vary, ratios vary, and coffee shops vary, but both the Guys agree: they want to taste the coffee.   In this week's Geeks, Jay announces a title change for an actor with lots of geek cred, and Robbie tells of the upcoming anniversary of a Marvel-DC clash of the universes between an alien and an arachnid.  Grab a PSL and listen up.

In this week's Heart of a Youth Leader episode, Andy reflects on the story of Jonah — not just his disobedience, but his sleep in the middle of a storm.It's a powerful reminder of how easy it can be to drift through ministry on autopilot, doing what we've always done, while missing what God is really saying. Andy invites us to stop coasting, to seek the Lord afresh, and to make obedience to Him our top priority once again.If you've lost some of your first love for ministry, this episode is a gentle wake-up call to rest, reconnect, and realign your heart with God's purpose.

Ep. 204 (Part 1 of 2) | In the fourteenth dialogue in the A. H. Almaas Wisdom Series, Hameed Ali explores the nonconceptual nature of the dimension of pure awareness, guiding us into the realm that lies beyond conceptual dichotomies such as being/nonbeing, being/doing, duality/nonduality, good/bad, and meaningful/meaningless. Beyond knowing, this dimension exposes and challenges conceptual polarities, and when we arrive at this level of realization we are able to trust letting go of knowingness and wake up to pure awareness. People fear annihilation at the prospect of going beyond concepts, Hameed explains, and it does lead to a death: the death of mind, the death of the doer. But even here beyond knowing, Hameed continues, the nonconceptual always operates from compassion and love. How do we develop a continuity of nonconceptual awareness? Roger and John wonder. One way is when knowing is integrated into being, Hameed answers. Then everything just happens; the doing is funneled through the individual. And there is another way, through developing the “pearl beyond price,” the individual, Hameed adds, but this way is rare. As co-host Roger Walsh says, this is an especially nourishing, stimulating, and intriguing discussion, with Hameed doing a beautiful job of relating how our concepts form the basis of our existence and what it means to transcend them, let go of our mind, deconstruct our perception of ourselves as the “doer,” and wake up to pure awareness. Recorded August 14, 2025.“To be in the nonconceptual state, i.e. in sitting meditation, is half of it, but to actualize it is the other half.”Topics & Time Stamps – Part 1Introducing the 14th dialogue in the A.

(19:44)People fear annihilation at the prospect of going beyond concepts, and it does lead to the death of mind, the death of the doer (23:03) With this level of realization, we can trust letting go of our knowingness (27:10)What are ways for actualization to occur?

It feels like the answer to this big question should be an obvious and resounding "YES!" But... It doesn't always feel that simple. Finding the right church after graduation can be awkward, confusing, and even hurtful. So is it even worth the effort? This week, we're joined by pastor and friend of InterVarsity, Gina Cherian, who really does believe that the answer is yes. And not just because you need the church. It's because the church needs YOU, alumni.Find out why as we answer the big question, "Is church worth waking up for?"RELATED EPISODESE80: I'm So Tired of Church Hopping!

Do you ever feel like no matter how much you explain yourself, your words just get turned against you? In this episode of Waking Up to Narcissism, Tony Overbay, LMFT, breaks down why explanations don't lead to understanding with a narcissist—or with anyone who is deeply emotionally immature. Instead, they become what Tony calls an “attack surface”: the very fuel that allows the narcissist to twist, criticize, or position themselves as the victim. Through a painfully familiar story of a wife trying to share her day and a husband who withdraws into silence, Tony unpacks: Why silence is a weapon for the narcissist—and why it spikes anxiety for the pathologically kind partner How emotionally immature people thrive on friction and conflict rather than true connection The cycle of narcissistic supply (idealization, devaluation, and discard) and how it shows up in daily interactions The difference between secure attachment and antagonistic attachment Five rules for protecting yourself and reducing “attack surfaces” in conversations If you've ever found yourself over-explaining, apologizing for things that weren't your fault, or walking on eggshells to avoid conflict, this episode will help you recognize the patterns, reclaim your emotional energy, and begin to shift the dynamic. Your kindness is a gift—but when explanations only make things worse, it's time to understand why. 00:00 Introduction and Acknowledgements 00:52 Understanding Substack and Blogging 02:11 Disclaimer and Episode Overview 02:47 Narcissism in Relationships 07:25 The Real-Life Story Begins 11:39 Analyzing the Narcissistic Behavior 19:13 Secure Attachment vs. Narcissistic Attachment 25:58 The Concept of Attack Surface 35:18 The Silent Treatment: A Narcissist's Weapon 35:51 The Parasitic Dynamic in Narcissistic Relationships 39:20 The Narcissistic Supply Cycle 43:51 Codependency and Pathological Kindness 51:41 Strategies for Dealing with Narcissists 56:05 Breaking the Cycle: Reclaiming Your Power 01:01:32 The Importance of Documentation 01:07:57 Key Takeaways and Final Thoughts Contact Tony at contact@tonyoverbay.com to learn more about his Emotional Architects men's group.

Eckhart discusses the path to awakening. He says there are two stages to a person's life: waking up and growing up. Many start to awaken, only to later discover large parts of their personality lag behind; they haven't really grown up. To reach maturity Eckhart says spiritual practice must encompass all of who we are and become an integral part of our daily lives. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Today we discuss MAHA, vaccines, Covid, autism, and ostriches. Senator Ron Johnson held a hearing on the corruption of science, at which Jake Scott (MD), Toby Rogers (PhD), and lawyer Aaron Siri testified about vaccine safety testing and the relationship between vaccines and autism. The new MAHA Strategy report attributes poor diet, aggregation of environmental chemicals, lack of physical activity, chronic stress, and overmedicalization to the decline in children's health. Meanwhile, people who have been fooled by the fear campaign celebrate getting their newest Covid boosters. And in Canada, ostriches are at risk of being killed because of a misunderstanding of immunity, but people are fighting back. The immune system that defends the body politic is discovering how to defeat the infection. The battle is over the public consciousness.While we were livestreaming, news broke that Charlie Kirk was shot during an event in Utah and sadly passed away shortly after. “Charlie Kirk was a beautiful person. He died engaging his foes honorably. I truly hope he's right about the universe and is receiving his reward. I'm beyond heartbroken for his lovely family—we must take care of them.
