Podcasts about Weakness

The Human Equation with Joe Pangaro – America's adversaries understand this. Nations like China, Russia, and Iran have long believed that Western decadence and internal division will eventually weaken the United States beyond repair. They see a culture obsessed with outrage, fragmented by identity politics, and increasingly unwilling to defend the values that once made it strong. They see...

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles examine Donald Trump's growing political troubles as rising prices, escalating tensions in the Middle East, and his own economic policies threaten to make affordability his biggest liability ahead of the midterms. They discuss Trump's pressure on the Federal Reserve, the consequences of his tariffs and war policies, and why his administration's approach may be fueling the very problems he claims he wants to solve. Plus, Melania Trump's surprising enthusiasm for AI, the latest turmoil at the Kennedy Center, and the court's refusal to let Trump put his name on the building. They also take a closer look at Kash Patel's purge of senior FBI agents, the changing standards for joining the bureau, and Lee Greenwood's wife's nomination as ambassador to Barbados. As Trump surrounds himself with loyalists and pushes aside voices that might challenge him, Michael and Joanna consider whether his own decision-making is setting the stage for a political reckoning. #ad Ready to reach your goals?

What if your hand pain, numbness, weakness, or grip problems aren't actually coming from your hand or wrist? Orthopedic hand surgeon William Ericson, MD, joins Dr. Linda Bluestein to explain why people with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) and hypermobility may experience overlooked median nerve entrapment near the elbow, carpal tunnel-like symptoms, thumb arthritis, and thoracic outlet syndrome—even when standard imaging or nerve testing doesn't reveal the answer. Dr. Ericson, co-author of the 2017 American Journal of Medical Genetics article on orthopedic management of the Ehlers-Danlos syndromes, shares what he has learned from more than three decades of treating patients with complex upper-extremity symptoms. Why can someone have significant hand pain, weakness, numbness, tingling, or loss of grip strength even when imaging or standard nerve testing looks normal? Dr. Ericson describes a pattern of proximal median nerve entrapment near the elbow that he believes is extremely common in people with EDS and may frequently be mistaken for carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, or unexplained pain. He explains how median nerve dysfunction can change the way the hand pinches and grips, potentially placing excessive stress on the thumb and contributing to thumb arthritis over time. He also discusses whether identifying and treating the underlying nerve problem could help reduce that risk. The conversation expands beyond the hand and wrist to the relationship between hypermobility, shoulder instability, scapular protraction, and thoracic outlet syndrome. Dr. Ericson explains why improving shoulder and scapular mechanics may sometimes be more important than operating directly on the thoracic outlet. You'll also hear an important discussion about cortisone injections in EDS and hypermobility, including why injections may be appropriate for true tendon inflammation but potentially problematic when the underlying issue is joint instability. Just as importantly, Dr. Ericson explains why he evaluates the whole person before recommending surgery—including posture, shoulder mechanics, thoracic outlet involvement, stress, and mental health—and why persistent symptoms after surgery may sometimes reflect an unrecognized problem farther upstream. The episode closes with advice for anyone living with symptoms that have been difficult to explain: a good clinician does not have to know everything. Sometimes the most important words a healthcare professional can say are, “I don't know—but I believe you, and I'll help you figure out what comes next.” Want more of Dr. William Ericson?

Okay team, Martha and I are back! I decided on this topic because the African American community continues to operate on the premise that our population does not provide us with leverage to create change. I get upset when I hear and see the impact of that thought because we have always been the minority in America. If we operate under that thought, we forget how we achieved emancipation, the 13th - 15th amendments, the 19th amendment, the Civil Rights Movement achievements, military success, lawyers, judges, and more. There is a need to go back and study the successes of our ancestors. How they operated in the neighborhoods; how they handed down clothes and furniture; how they raised money to keep the community together and strong. Martha and I are trying to make a difference by using strategies that have worked in the past. There is no new thing under the sun. There is no new behavior or attitude.

The sermon on 2 Corinthians 7 focuses on how God works through relationships to bring comfort, correction, repentance, and joy, reminding us that the church is a family where we both give and receive loving, sometimes difficult, encouragement. It distinguishes godly grief, which turns us away from sin and toward God through genuine repentance, from worldly grief, which leads to guilt, shame, and spiritual death. Ultimately, our sorrow over sin should not lead us to condemnation but to the joy of Christ's forgiveness, allowing God to use even our painful experiences to draw us closer to Him and to help others do the same.

I recorded this one because of a conversation I had with a friend that morning. She opened up about how weary she was getting, how much she was questioning whether God was even there for her, and I sat there thinking, oh my goodness, me too. That is the moment I knew I had to press record. Here is what I want us to settle today: opposition is not evidence that we heard God wrong. If you are building something you know God handed you, and it is getting harder instead of easier, and the doubt is starting to whisper that you made the whole thing up, this episode is for you. I walk through three people in Scripture who got a clear assignment from God and then ran straight into resistance. Moses, who had every reason to say no. Paul, who spent years locked up while the work he was called to do waited on the outside. And Nehemiah, who stared at a pile of rubble and still believed there was a wall in it. I also get honest about my own crisis of faith. I gave God my business, my platform, my calling, my finances, all of it, and then found myself in a life that looked nothing like what I expected. Unanswered prayer after unanswered prayer. I know what it feels like when the fire dims. I also know what it takes to get it back. The enemy has one strategy here, and it is not complicated. Wear us down until we quit. This episode is the reminder that we are not alone in it, we are in very good company, and the assignment is still ours to finish. I close with a prayer over you, your life, your business, and your calling. Timestamps 00:01 • The reason I could not let this week go by without recording this 00:29 • The conversation with my friend that gave me this whole episode 00:56 • The enemy's oldest strategy, and why it works on the most faithful people 01:25 • "Am I supposed to persevere, or is this a warning to turn around?"

Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:11-12 "...for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need." 2 Corinthians 12:7-9 "And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me... And He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.'" Exodus 4:10-12 "Then Moses said to the LORD, 'O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before nor since You have spoken to Your servant; but I am slow of speech and slow of tongue.' So the LORD said to him... 'Now therefore, go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall say.'" Exodus 1 through 14 The full account of Moses leading the Israelites out of bondage in Egypt. Nehemiah 6:3 "So I sent messengers to them, saying, 'I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down. Why should the work cease while I leave it and go down to you?'" Nehemiah 6:15 "So the wall was finished on the twenty-fifth day of Elul, in fifty-two days." Genesis 50:20 "But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive." Psalm 42:11 "Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God." Galatians 6:9 "And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart." 1 Timothy 6:12 "Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses." Key Takeaways • Opposition is not a redirect. In business and in calling, the resistance is usually the part we are meant to persevere through, not the sign we heard God wrong. • The enemy's strategy is not creative, it is consistent. Wear us down with doubt until we quit on our own. Naming the strategy takes most of its power away. • We are never the only one. Every person in Scripture who carried a real assignment carried real opposition with it. That includes Moses, Joseph, Paul, and Nehemiah, and it includes us. • The prison is not always the interruption. Paul wrote from confinement, and some of the most enduring letters in the New Testament came out of the season he probably considered his most wasted. • The delay is not the denial. Joseph waited roughly 20 years, and when it came, it did not look like the vision he had been shown. • Weakness is not disqualification. Moses had a speech difficulty and was called to speak to a nation. Paul had a thorn he asked God three times to remove. God used both men exactly as they were. • We are not built to carry the assignment alone. Nehemiah rebuilt a wall in 52 days because he cast the vision clearly and got other people to pick up a tool. • Distraction is opposition wearing a friendlier outfit. Nehemiah's answer, "I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down," is a complete sentence and a complete strategy. Action Steps 1. Name what you are actually facing. Write down the specific opposition in front of you right now. Money, silence, rejection, exhaustion, a launch that flopped. Get it out of your head and onto paper, because vague dread is heavier than a named problem. 2. Run it through one question. Has God told you to stop, or is this just hard? Obedience to a clear no is faithfulness. Quitting in the middle of a hard yes is something else. Be honest about which one you are looking at. 3. Borrow Nehemiah's line this week. Pick the one distraction pulling hardest at your attention and say no to it out loud: "I am doing a great work, so I cannot come down." Then go do the work. 4. Take one next step, not the whole staircase. Do one thing this week that only makes sense if the vision is true. Send the email. Record the episode. Make the offer. Faith moves before the evidence shows up. 5. Do not carry it by yourself. Call the friend. Have the honest conversation. My whole day turned around because one friend told me the truth about where she was, and I got to tell her the truth about where I was. Encouragement is a two way street and both of us needed it. 6. Pray the specific prayer. Ask God to strengthen your spirit and your mind, clear the doubt, and refill you with the fire and the faith to keep moving one step at a time. That is the prayer I prayed over you at the end of this episode, and it is worth praying over yourself all week. If this episode met you where you are, come back next week. I have three more people from Scripture I want to walk through with us, and the encouragement keeps coming. Much love, Mia :)

Charles Schwab's Jim Ferraioli discusses how he sees September's seasonal trends impacting Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as equities take a back seat to start the month. However, he says a year-end rally is possible, pointing to ways spot Bitcoin ETPs indicate that bullish momentum is brewing. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

A subdued VIX and a still-strong call-buying mentality in options suggest that seasonal September weakness won't come as much into play this year, says Cameron Dawson. Even if there is a notable pullback, Cameron sees it as a buying opportunity. She points to earnings growth curbing S&P 500 (SPX) valuations as a key signal that the stock market remains resilient even as crude oil and Treasury yields rise. Speaking on oil, Cameron notes that while crude is off its 2026 highs, diesel is at an all-time high, something she sees hitting U.S. consumers. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Lauren Pires was born with a rare neuromuscular condition that leaves her with roughly 33 percent of the physical strength of an average person.She hid it for more than 30 years, and during those years she built an 11-year career in event production at one of the largest music festivals in Canada, a job made of long days on your feet. At 32 she stood on a stage and spoke about it in public for the first time, at North America's largest inspirational speaking competition. She came second, then second again in the finals, and today she speaks to companies about invisible disability, resilience, and belonging.I live with an autoimmune condition, so this conversation got personal fast. We compare the excuses we both used to get out of a hike, how much of your day hiding something actually eats, and the question everyone with something to hide eventually faces: who do you tell first, and what happens after that. If you are living with something people cannot see, or you are ambitious and your body keeps saying no, this episode shows you what keeping it hidden is costing you and what she found on the other side.

Your greatest weakness doesn't prevent God from working—it often becomes the exact channel through which His grace flows to others. When you bring your limitations, wounds, and imperfections to God instead of hiding them, He turns your struggles into wisdom, empathy, and strength. #FULLTANKwithBroBo​ #FULLTANKwithBroBo2026​ #BoSanchez​ #GodCanUseYourWeakness​ #GraceInWeakness​ #PowerInImperfection​ #FaithInAction​ #SpiritualMaturity​ #TrulyRichMindset​ #TurnWoundsIntoGardens​ #Grace​--- P.S.

Faith, and The weakness of the ChurchSend us Fan Mail

John brings us a message from 2 Corinthians 9:8-15 where Paul presents a question for for: What happens when a community of believers actually believe that God's grace is enough to scatter? What we discover is that God is not asking us to give from scarcity, rather He is asking us to give from His abundance.

Pastor: Danny D'Acquisto Passage: Ezra 3

The sermon from 2 Corinthians 6:14–18 emphasizes that Christians are the temple of the living God, called to live distinctly from the values and influences of the world because God's presence makes the church holy. Paul's warnings against being unequally yoked, pursuing unity with darkness, consuming spiritual “poison,” and giving allegiance to idols are applied to marriage, partnerships, friendships, entertainment, ambitions, and the everyday choices that shape our hearts and minds. The sermon ultimately calls believers to be like Jesus—deeply engaged with the world but not conformed to it, discerning what they take in, remaining yoked to Christ, and treating relationships with unbelievers as opportunities to bring light rather than simply seeking fellowship with the world.

You do not need a new car or a fancy watch; you need to make sure your family is spiritually, physically, and financially taken care of. This Friday, I am recapping our entire week on why superior men choose their suffering before life forces it upon them, and I am laying down a savage 7-day challenge to get your house in order. Every hard thing you keep dodging, every easy path you keep taking, and every standard you drop when things get tough is exactly why you feel anxious and unsettled. Deep down, you always know when you are avoiding what must be done, and comfort today is just a loan that life will always collect with interest. Over the next seven days, I challenge you to eliminate one thing that weakens your legacy, train and save even when you don't feel like it, hold your standards when temptation shows up, and make one move that protects your family's future. Find an accountability partner, share the suffering you chose, and ask yourself every single night: Did I protect, or did I avoid. Warriors Rise!

What happens after you get sober?For many men, this is where recovery gets surprisingly interesting.You can stop watching pornography. Learn your patterns. Read the books. Attend groups. Get accountability.And yet,You can still struggle to handle your emotions.You can become defensive when your wife is hurting.You can withdraw when conflict gets uncomfortable.You can repeat the same relational patterns in a new relationship.According to Dr. Eddie Capparucci, sobriety is only part of the recovery equation.Eddie is a PhD, licensed counselor, author, and leading voice in Christian inner child work. He has spent years helping men understand the deeper roots of their behaviors and develop the emotional maturity needed to actually live differently.In this conversation, we go beyond "how do I stop watching porn?"We explore what it means to become an emotionally healthy man.And Eddie gives us a practical framework:THE THREE FOUNDATIONS OF REAL CHANGE1. Emotional RegulationYou can have all the right information and still be unable to implement it when you're overwhelmed.Eddie teaches men to practice emotional regulation 3–5 times a day for about five minutes, learning their window of tolerance and becoming more capable of staying present when life gets uncomfortable.2. AwarenessDysregulation doesn't only look like anger.Boredom. Fear. Weakness. Overwhelm. Withdrawal.Eddie teaches men to slow down and ask:"What are my mind, body, and emotions telling me?"That awareness helps you catch what's happening before it builds.3. Understanding WhyThis is where Eddie's inner child model becomes practical.Identify the child or emotional pattern that gets activated. Identify the core emotional triggers. Then use his "What I Feel vs. What Is Real" process to challenge assumptions, fears, and internal lies.The goal isn't just understanding your past.It's understanding why you think, feel, and do what you do today so you can respond differently.And here's the powerful part:Insight without regulation isn't enough.That's why Eddie brings these three areas together:Awareness + Emotional Regulation + Understanding Why.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:Why sobriety doesn't automatically create emotional maturityEddie's practical 5-minute regulation exerciseHow to discover your window of toleranceHow awareness can prevent emotional build-upHow inner child work explains emotional and sexual patternsHow to identify your core emotional triggersThe "What I Feel vs. What Is Real" processWhy emotional maturity affects marriage, conflict, attraction, and relationshipsWhy real recovery means learning to live differently, not simply maintaining a longer streakOne of my favorite moments is when Eddie talks about his own imperfect moment with his wife.He doesn't pretend maturity means never responding poorly.It means catching yourself, taking responsibility, repairing quickly, and choosing differently next time.Not perfection.Maturity.Not simply avoiding pornography.Learning to lead yourself well.CONNECT WITH DR. EDDIE CAPPARUCCIEddie offers counseling, inner child training, emotional maturity workshops, and practical resources.abundantlifecounselingga.comYou can also email Eddie directly:innerchildmodel@gmail.comOne thing I really appreciate about Eddie is that he personally responds to the people who reach out to him.Understanding the framework is one thing.Understanding your story is another.READY TO GET CLEAR ON YOUR OWN RECOVERY?That's why I created the Personal Recovery Plan, a one-on-one session to help you understand what's beneath your struggle and build a recovery strategy around your patterns, inner world, Heart Hunger, and season of life.

What do the people closest to power really think about the system they serve? That's perhaps one of the most important questions one could ask about North Korea, still one of the world's least understood countries. Today, we're joined by Jieun Baek, author of Privileged But Powerless: How North Korean Elite Grievances Reveal the Regime's Greatest Weakness (Yale UP, 2026). She draws on in-depth interviews with North Korean elite escapees—from senior party cadres and diplomats to military officers and wealthy, politically connected figures—to explore a group often assumed to be secure, influential, and loyal. She finds that even those with access to better housing, education, overseas postings, and material comforts remain subject to a political system in which one misstep can have devastating consequences—not only for themselves, but for their families. We talk about what it means to be an elite in North Korea, why some people defect while others stay, and what elite grievances can and can't tell us about the country's future. Jieun Baek is an author and scholar specializing in authoritarian governance, regime stability, elite political behavior, and information access in closed societies, with a particular focus on North Korea and Burma. Her research draws on more than fifteen years of fieldwork and sustained engagement with hard-to-reach populations, including defectors, dissidents, diplomats, former officials, and individuals operating within and across tightly controlled political systems. She is also the author of North Korea's Hidden Revolution: How the Information Underground Is Transforming a Closed Society (Yale University Press: 2016). She can be found on LinkedIn and Instagram.

They do have Aaron Donald and Myles Garrett this year.

Survivor 51 Cast Preview Part 1 Watch the podcast on YouTube! Survivor 51 is on the horizon, and Rob Cesternino and Mike Bloom are here to talk about the cast! Rob and Mike pull back the curtain on a cast shrouded in mystery and “permanent uncertainty.” Rob and Mike comb through every available detail about the first seven contestants, uncovering hidden stories, professional secrets, and potential game-changing personalities. With no pre-game interviews allowed this season, the duo relies on cast bios, social media clues, and fan-sourced tidbits to piece together what's in store for the dramatic two-hour premiere, titled “As the Crow Flies.” This preview episode dives deep into the castaways' backgrounds—highlighting a chef with a past in the Patriots' kitchen, a criminal defense attorney hiding her true profession, a My Little Pony voice actress, a pro wrestler with NXT ties, a livestock farmer channeling classic JT, a director of HR with a Survivor legacy in his family, and an actor from Grey's Anatomy and Queer as Folk. Rob and Mike speculate on the big twists teased for opening night, including an odd 21-person starting mat, the promise of “permanent uncertainty,” and the immediate impact of a mysterious journey and a dramatic first Tribal Council pitting allies head to head. The cast's eclectic mix brings comparisons to iconic players and sets the stage for unpredictable alliances, challenge prowess, and plenty of conflict—both culinary and strategic. Key discussion points from Rob and Mike include: – Aaliyah's high-energy, talkative style and her history as a chef for the New England Patriots – Alexis's secret lawyer strategy and her candid approach to exploiting emotional game moments – Ana's animated career, including her time as Strawberry Shortcake and a cameo on The Boys – Brady's pro wrestling background, wild early life stories, and alliance plans with opposites – Carter's old-school farmer work ethic and JT-like potential – Cristian's alternate origin, HR expertise, and ties to Survivor history – Devin's “no lies, no backstabs” philosophy and his knack for creative gameplay Is Survivor's open era about to rewrite the rules, or will day one twists send castaways scrambling? Rob and Mike tease how food, authority, and first impressions could shape the season from the start. Don't miss this jam-packed Survivor 51 preview as Rob and Mike break down cast secrets and speculate on who might thrive—or stumble—once the game begins!

Kyle Thompson, host of Undaunted Life and co-creator of The Daily Blade devotional, sits down with Tim in The Basement for a raw conversation on what it actually means to be a Godly man in a culture that doesn't know what to do with one. They dig into the tension between strength and softness, why so many men default to being all lion or all lamb, what The Chosen got right about the woman who touched Jesus' garment, and why the church needs to learn how to "hold tension" instead of avoiding it. Kyle also opens up about training men physically and spiritually through his coaching program Dominion, what he's learned raising his sons to be undaunted, and why meekness, not aggression, is the real mark of a man who's dangerous and disciplined at the same time. This one will challenge you, convict you, and probably make you want to go do a wall sit.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you feel led, please use the link below to support us financially as we continue the mission of normalizing vulnerability and upsetting the world.

The Giants' pass rush could be the key to beating Dallas. Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber zero in on the Cowboys' uncertainty at right tackle and argue that Brian Burns, Abdul Carter and the Giants' defensive front must turn that weakness into sacks and constant pressure on Dak Prescott. With questions in the secondary, getting home quickly could determine whether the Giants can control the opener. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber as they also examine Odell Beckham Jr.'s return to the Giants, why his leadership could matter as much as his production, and how a physical, run-first identity could give John Harbaugh's team the foundation it needs to become a winner.

Markets are testing support after three straight days of selling, with technology and semiconductors leading the weakness. The S&P 500 is moving toward its 50-DMA as September seasonality, upcoming corporate buyback blackouts, and quarter-end repositioning add to downside risk. But this remains a normal market pullback, not a reason to panic. With volatility still unusually low and markets not yet deeply oversold, investors should keep the weakness in context. Now is the time to manage risk, take profits where appropriate, rebalance portfolio allocations, and raise some cash rather than make emotional decisions.

HEADLINES: Four men have been interviewed by Victoria Police detectives this week as part of investigations into the sexual assault allegations linked to the Sydney Swans AFL club. Police are investigating after a man was shot dead in Sydney’s west in what detectives believe was a targeted daylight attack. Consent advocate Chanel Contos has told National Press Club that big tech is radicalising young men into harmful sexual behaviour, and is pushing for a ban on social media algorithms. The world is on track to exceed 1.5 degrees of global warming within years, according to a new UN report. So it turns out we’ve all been drinking water wrong. And good news for animal lovers about the New Zealand kākāpō. New research suggests the real damage in contact sports might not be happening on game day, but during training, and it's raising urgent questions for anyone with a kid on a footy field this weekend. On this episode of The Quicky, we look at the degenerative brain disease increasingly turning up in Australian football codes, from AFL and AFLW to soccer, and why doctors believe the cumulative hits from years of junior sport could matter more than any single big hit. We hear from leading neurologist Dr Rowena Mobbs on what parents and clubs can actually do about it, and why the answer isn't pulling your kid off the field.Important concussion advice from Dr Rowena Mobbs, neurologist at Mater Hospital Sydney: - Keep brain health front of mind.- Carefully observe the athlete if a concussion is suspected and follow the protocols.- Know the red flags that may indicate a more serious brain injury: Neck pain - Increasing confusion, agitation or irritability - Repeated vomiting - Seizure or convulsion - Weakness or tingling/burning in the arms or legs - Deteriorating conscious state - Severe or increasing headache - Unusual behavioural change - Loss of vision or double vision - Visible deformity of the skull - Loss of consciousness. - If you see these signs, seek emergency care."

How can we hold onto hope in the midst of autoimmune and chronic illness? In today's episode, Tara is sharing the whole story of her personal journey with fibromyalgia, from the beginning to now. Not only does she share her thirteen-year-struggle with this illness, but also how God has refined her faith through it. Spoiler alert: It's been messy at times and it would be an understatement to say that her faith was questioned during the process. But God is kind, faithful, and wastes nothing.
