Podcasts about why it matters

A group of around 400 people rushed into the Tennessee state Capitol in Nashville on Thursday morning to protest for stricter gun laws following the mass shooting at the Covenant School earlier this week. Hundreds of protesters descended on the Kentucky state Capitol on Wednesday as Republican lawmakers enacted a sweeping ban on sex changes for minors after overriding the veto of the Democratic governor. Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull joins "The News & Why It Matters" to discuss her recent assault at an anti-trans rally in New Zealand. The so-called QAnon Shaman, who pleaded guilty to storming the U.S. Capitol on January 6, has been released from prison to a halfway house 14 months early in an apparent sentence-reduction for good behavior. Republican Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie responded to a heated confrontation with Democratic New York Rep. Jamaal Bowman over gun control in the halls of Congress.

In this week's episode I talk to writer, Christina Campbell. Christina lives in Northern Virginia, USA, with her cats. She writes about invisible illness, singles' rights, and the inexorable onslaught of entropy. Her book, And Sarah His Wife, won the Michigan Writers' Cooperative Press Chapbook Contest in 2017. After earning her Master of Fine Arts in Creative Nonfiction from George Mason University, Christina co-founded the singles' advocacy blog, Onely, with her MFA classmate, Lisa Arnold. The site deconstructs cultural stereotypes about single hood, such as the myth that unmarried people die alone, eaten by their cats! Christina's writing on Onely has been featured, quoted, or referenced in numerous publications, including The Atlantic.com; The Sydney Morning Herald; Boston Magazine; PsychologyToday.com; the book Going Solo: The Extraordinary Rise and Surprising Appeal of Living Alone by Eric Klinenberg; the book Singlism: What It Is, Why It Matters, and How to Stop It by Bella DePaulo; and the book It's Not You: 27 (Wrong) Reasons You're Single, by Sara Eckel.Topics that Christina & I cover are: What motivated her and her college classmate, Lisa Arnold, to start their blog, Onely;Why Christina started writing about systemic singlism and discrimination against single people;How Christina has been affected personally by systemic singlism;Bereavement leave, how even that seems to favour those who are married, and how Christina wasn't entitled to take bereavement leave for two of her close relatives;How single people aren't able to choose recipients of certain benefits, whereas married people are automatically allowed to benefit their spouses;How single hood has meant that Christina has been hugely financially disadvantaged in respect of her health care;The project Christina worked on which found that single people, at a certain salary rate, finish their life at least $1,000,000 worse off than their married counterparts;How both Christina and I have been asked by 6 year old girls why we're not married, and why we live alone; and how important it is to show little girls that it's ok to be alone.Despite several relationships, Christina has always been very content on her own and never really felt the need to couple up;The stigma around childless women and how they are often perceived as ‘selfish'.Bella DePaulo's term ‘single at heart' and how Christina and I feel about it.How our ‘women's intuition' is our strongest tool against the patriarchal narratives;Last but not least, our beloved ‘fur baby' cats! Christina's Website:https://christinadc.com/ Onely blog:https://onely.orgUS Link to Christina's book, And Sarah His Wife:https://www.amazon.com/Sarah-Wife-Christina-Diane-Campbell/dp/1546681639 UK Link to the book: Book a FREE 30 minute coaching 'taster' session HERE: https://calendly.com/lucymeggeson/30minute Fancy getting your hands on my FREE Top 10 Mindset Tips?

His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.' Matthew 25   In the parable of the talents, the ruler gave three different servants talents to manage while he was away. While we see the command was the same, we see three different heart postures, actions and results.    Let's dive into Genesis 1 and observe that our sexuality, our body, our gender and sex, pleasure and desire are gifts from God we're called to steward.     So often in our Christian culture we're afraid of sexuality, our bodies and pleasure. We just don't talk about it. We silence it, we bury it and we put it away and talk about other things. But God wants us to grow this gift, not bury it. But how do we grow it and how can we be like the first two servants who are faithful?    In today's episode we'll continue the conversation of stewarding sexuality and explore what it means to invest in these gifts and grow like the first two faithful servants. This episode is full of practical application you can apply today.   Resources Mentioned: The Vagina Bible by Dr. Jen Gunter The Gift of Sexual Pleasure for Women by Joyce and Clifford Penner Rethinking Sexuality: God's Design and Why It Matters by Dr. Juli Slatery  You're Invited: Keep learning with Francie!

In this two part episode we explore where the modern male finds himself. We review data demonstrating a trend of increasing gaps in educational achievement, increasing rates of male suicide, and addictions, the preponderance of males in the homeless population and the decline in males participating in key careers.   We also hear about a Washington State bill to create a commission on boys and men, why it's important and potentially unique.   If you're unsure if men are indeed in crisis, or are already familiar with some of the issues, listen as we explore,learn and hear not only the issues but solutions from our two very thoughtful, knowledgeable and engaging guests.   Guests: Richard V. Reeves Richard V. Reeves is a senior fellow in Economic Studies,The Brookings Institute, where he holds the John C. and Nancy D. Whitehead Chair and leads the Boys and Men Project. His research focuses on boys and men, inequality, and social mobility. Richard's publications for Brookings include his latest book Of Boys and Men: Why the Modern Male Is Struggling, Why It Matters, and What to Do about It (2022) and 2017's Dream Hoarders: How the American Upper Middle Class Is Leaving Everyone Else in the Dust, Why That Is a Problem, and What to Do about It. He is a contributor to The Atlantic, National Affairs, Democracy Journal, the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times.

Mary Dye First appointed to the House of Representatives in 2015, Representative Mary Dye is a Republican from the Eastern Washington community of Pomeroy. She is serving her fifth term, representing the 9th Legislative District. As a ranking member of the House Environment and Energy Committee, Representative Dye prioritizes protection of affordable and reliable energy, improving environmental and water quality and outdoor recreation.

Get more information from her website: www.RepresentativeMaryDye.com   During This Episode We Discuss:   The background data and trends supporting the issues are reviewed in an enlightened discussion with Brookings Scholar Richard Reeves   Learn from a Washington State Legislator Rep. Mary Dye about her efforts to sponsor a bill that would create a Washington state commission on boys and men. The would address well-being, including educational achievement, suicide, homelessness, drug and alcohol addiction and overdose, and incarceration.    Those that feel this bill is serving a population that has already been privileged are looking through a narrow lens. These interviews demonstrate why vulnerable populations, men in poverty, and BIPOC populations would all find an advantage to having such a commission.   Recommended Resources:   Of Boys and Men: Why the Modern Male is Struggling, Why It Matters and What to Do About It By Richard V Reeves   How Toxic is Masculinity by Zoe Heller, Books, The New Yorker August 8,2022 Issue   Men Need Purpose More Than ‘Respect' Opinion by David French, The New York Times, Feb.12,2023   https://lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov/biennium/2023-24/Pdf/Bills/House%20Bills/1270.pdf?q=20230116070700   Soulhealfilm.com.   A film by Jose Enrique Pardo Equality for Boys and Men – Advancing empathy and equality ... https://equalityforboysandmen.org   https://www.brookings.edu/blog/up-front/2023/01/13/the-case-for-a-commission-on-boys-and-men-will-washington-state-lead-the-way/   Visit our website for all the podcasts, additional resources and social media links Website: theoriginalguidetomenshealth.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theoriginalguidetomenshealth/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/guide2menshlth Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-original-guide-to-mens-health/

“Happiness is connected to how we are with what we have in front of us.”— Rabbi Rachel RosenbluthFalling midway through Adar, Purim celebrates the saving of the Jewish people in the Persian Empire, after a genocidal plot concocted by a rogue court official is thwarted by a brave young Jewish woman named Esther. During Adar, and particularly around Purim, we are meant to “increase in joy” — but in the absence of an “instant happiness” switch, how are we to obey this call, particularly during a period marked by increased stress, worry, and grief?This episode of the Living Jewishly Podcasts is an instalment of Sacred Time, a podcast about the healing art of the Hebrew calendar. Dr. Elliot Malamet sits down with therapist Idan Lumi and Rabbi Rachel Rosenbluth to explore the Jewish perspective regarding happiness, the importance of community, why material goods won't lead to true and lasting happiness, and the power of forgiveness.“Joy is cultivated.

Hey, Friend! Do you ever wonder if what you're doing day in and day out is even making a difference at all? It can often feel like we are pouring in over and over and over again to our children and it's still the same thing the next day. We can easily get bogged down with not seeing the results we were hoping that we'd see. How can a homeschool mom be content on this hamster wheel during these days that feel so long? I felt this same way until a simple shift stirred in my heart. It truly is what led me to grow and become content right where I was. And I want to share that "secret" with you today. Pop your ear buds in, grab a cup of something warm, and let's have an open conversation. ♥ Leigh   Let's work together and get your homeschool to the place you just know it can be.

In this wide-ranging episode, Jamie and Kent sit down with Bob Smietana, a veteran news reporter and author of Reorganized Religion: The Reshaping of the American Church and Why It Matters.

GUEST: DR. STEVEN LAWSON, author, New Life in ChristConfusion characterizes our world. Or maybe delusion is the better word, in that people are deluded by others or just self-deluded.There are no shortage of “experts”—politicians, scientists, teachers, professors, writers, speakers, journalists, analysts, commentators, influencers, and yes, Christian leaders—confidently making assertions about all matters of life and faith.So if you're pondering what is going wrong in the world, you will hear all kinds of responses—“racism, inequality, lack of education, capitalistic greed, moral corruption”—with all manner of proposed solutions, mostly promoting some new government program or law or political candidate.Despite all the talk, confusion and delusion still reign. People don't know who or what to believe about what's going on and don't understand the root cause of the problems.Because all of Scripture is inspired by the holy and perfect God, Christians have a foundation for discerning truth from error, right from wrong, and wisdom from foolishness.Dr. Steven Lawson, president of OnePassion Ministries, expository preacher, and author of New Life in Christ: What Really Happens When You're Born Again and Why It Matters, joins us this weekend on The Christian Worldview to discuss:What is going on in the world right now?Why has there been division over the issue of “social justice”?What does it mean to be born again?Please join us for this important program.

Sometimes you read a book and get a flash of insight - that “ah ha!” moment - about yourself and the ways you interact with others.  That happened to me when reading “Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World.”  It helped me to understand and justify my interest in (this won't surprise you) EVERYTHING related to geriatrics or palliative care.  Also hat tip to Matthew Growdon for recommending the book. Today we talk with Bob Arnold, who has a long list of recommendations for books that have the potential to generate an “ah ha!” moment.  The podcast is ostensibly focused on becoming a better mentor, but as you'll hear, we discuss techniques that can help you cope with anxiety, stress, your spouse…the list goes on.  In reality, insights from these books can help you be a better teacher, a more curious person, as well as a better mentor or mentee. Bob urges you to buy these books from your local bookstore.  To that end, we're not including links with the titles below.  Please shop locally. As a bonus, Lauren Hunt, frequent guest on GeriPal, heard we recorded this podcast and wanted to add a couple books to Bob's list (she saw Bob give a talk about these books at the NPCRC Foley retreat).  Her list will strongly resonate with women in academics. See below for Lauren's two additions to Bob's list, with her personal commentary.

I had heard of course heard of imposter syndrome in the past but I didn't make the connection to myself until I read this article and saw my thoughts printed on the page. You would think that after several years of a number of career successes, the imposter syndrome would have abated for me, but rather I found it getting worse! I thought that I should know more of what I was doing by this point in my career, but instead I often felt like I had no idea what I was doing!  So I came across this book and found it very helpful. Young defines people who have imposter syndrome as those who have a “persistent belief in their lack of intelligence, skills, or competence. They are convinced that other people's praise and recognition of their accomplishments is undeserved, chalking up their achievements to chance, charm, connections, and external factors. Unable to internalize or feel deserving of their success, they continually doubt their ability to repeat past successes.”  I certainly related to the point that instead of successes alleviating feelings of fraudulence, the opposite happens, because it increases pressures to uphold one's reputation. The pressures can be intense, leaving one wondering if it's all worth it, and prompting fantasies of leaving the charade behind.  One thing I really liked about this book is that it places the imposter syndrome into the context of a patriarchal, misogynistic, racist society and organizations that create cultures that cultivate self-doubt (ahem academia). Imposter syndrome is a rationale response to a crazy world. We exist in a society and culture that actually judges women to be less competent at work (the studies she details are SUPER disturbing). It is not surprising we would internalize these norms. Also that being underrepresented in a field creates pressures not only to represent just oneself, but an entire gender.  She focuses on women, but these concepts obviously apply to people of color and other disadvantaged social groups. And of course men can have imposter syndrome too.  Another part I liked about the book is digging into the notion that one's success is due to luck, or being in the right place at the right time. She dispels these notions by pointing out that, first of all, luck is always present, even for people who are enormously talented and second, being the right place at the right time, having the right connections, and having a winning personality can sometimes actually be the result of skills or abilities, often the result of hard-work, hustling, and efforts to develop one's socioemotional capacity.   This is a self-help book, so throughout she offers some useful rules and self-talk for responding to imposter syndrome thoughts. She details different ways to respond to thoughts based on your competence type. For example, if you are a perfectionist, she recommends reframing to a “good enough” quality standard—a mantra I adopted from colleague during the pandemic and has been incredibly helpful for me over the past few years. For the rugged individualist who equate true competence equals solo, unaided achievement, the reframe is “competence means knowing how to identify the resources needed to get the job done.”  Another really important idea she raises is that women often have difficult choices to make about their career and its impact on other parts of their families and their other social networks that aren't as pronounced for men in our society. Sometimes it is difficult to disentangle these questions from feelings of imposter syndrome. For example, is reluctance to take on more responsibility at work or relocate because you feel inadequate or is it because of genuine concern about the impact on your family? Moreover, women (generalizing here) tend to place lower value on traditional measures of work success (e.g. money, power, influence) and greater value on connection and meaning. It can require a lot of soul searching to figure out whether one is avoiding career “success” out of fear or that certain paths are just truly not aligned with our values.   Finally, towards the end of the book, she introduces the idea of “faking it till you make it” and having chutzpah—i.e going for it. Of course, she's not advocating for a George Santos approach (no lying) but just having a little bit more of a mindset that you'll figure it out once you're on the job.  I'd definitely recommend this book if you've ever struggled with similar feelings or mentor people who might. She's got a breezy and relatable writing style that's easy to read, lots of great real-world stories, and piquant quotes.   The No Club:  Putting a Stop to Women's Dead-End Work by Linda Babcock, Brenda Peyser, Lise Vesterlund, and Laurie Weingart  Summary of the book's premise:  Work activities fall on a spectrum from promotable and non-promotable (NPT).  Promotable activities are those that advance one's career. They use the word “advance” quite broadly to encompass various outcomes, like earning a promotion, getting plum assignments, increasing compensation, and enhancing marketability for other jobs. Promotable tasks are visible to others and increase the organization's currency. Some tasks may be indirectly promotable—they help you develop skills that have the potential to enhance your future success or access to future promotable work.  NPT's are important to your organization but will not help to advance your career. These tasks have low visibility (think committees and other service).  Too many NPT's can lead to work/work imbalance where promotable tasks get pushed to the side and advancement slows, or work-life imbalance, where advancement continues but at the expense of time in one's personal life (or both).  Although not exclusively a problem for women, women are more likely to take on NPT's at work. This is because they are both asked more often and are more likely to say yes when asked.  They propose both bottom-up (women saying no to more things) and top-down solutions (organizations making efforts to divide up NPT's more fairly and ensuring everyone is pitching in).  Before I read this book, I didn't fully grasp the idea that an activity would be helpful to the organization but not to my own career. Sometimes requests for participation in these activities come with a veneer or prestige and lots of feel-good gratitude. I personally feel a lot of guilt and worry about disappointing people when I say no to things. Even declining to review an article for a journal is accompanied by some stomach knots (it's so hard to find reviewers!) I also place a lot of value in collaboration and working in teams, and the idea of working in a culture where everyone is only looking out for themselves is not appealing to me.  But I'm also worried at the level of overwhelm I experience at times and perhaps some of you have experienced as well. How do we ensure that we are on sustainable path where we can stay in and build the world we want to live and work in?   The book also got me thinking about what is promotable or not in academia, i.e. what is the currency. I think we all know that grants and publications are promotable activities, but even within that there are hierarchies. Some of these hierarchies I think I understand: a data-based paper in a high-impact journal has higher promotability than an editorial in a lower-impact journal. Some of them I'm not sure about: is an NIH project grant more promotable than a foundation grant and if so why (bc higher indirects?)  Also, things like mentorship seem gray to me: senior-authored articles are evidence of independence and potential track to mentoring awards, but people often seem to place mentorship in the NPT category. I think having more transparency and discussion about what is promotable or not would be very useful.    Highly recommend this book for women, men, people in leadership, and employees. It's extremely well-written, nuanced, and eye-opening.   SPONSOR:    This episode of the GeriPal Podcast is sponsored by UCSF's Division of Palliative Medicine, an amazing group doing world class palliative care.  They are looking for physician faculty to join them in the inpatient and outpatient setting.  To learn more about job opportunities, please click here: https://palliativemedicine.ucsf.edu/job-openings  

In the quest for gender equality, it's easy to overlook that many men have not fared well in recent years. Richard V. Reeves is director of the Boys and Men Project for the Brookings Institution. He joins host Krys Boyd to discuss ground lost in the classroom and workplace for boys and men, and about how helping men doesn't mean giving up on gender equality. His book is “Of Boys and Men: Why the Modern Male Is Struggling, Why It Matters, and What to Do about It.” This episode originally aired on September 26, 2022.

One of the messages our culture delivers is “not enough.” Not clever enough. Not busy enough. Not successful enough. It's a cultural mantra that beats just below the surface of many conversations, especially the ones we have with ourselves. That's what's so refreshing about Vanessa Bohns' book, You Have More Influence Than You Think: How We Underestimate our Power of Persuasion and Why It Matters. Vanessa's message, when it comes to influence and persuasion, is that we're more than enough. That's why it's so important we understand how they work because, like our favorite superheroes, we can use these powers for good or for evil. Vanessa is a professor of organizational behavior at Cornell University. Her writing has appeared in the New York Times and Harvard Business Review, among other publications.     Episode Links Shared Experiences are Amplified Audience-tuning Effects on Memory Saying is Believing Effect Prison Book Program The Team Learn more about host, Gayle Allen, and producer, Rob Mancabelli, here.

Today I am joined on the Pasion Struck podcast by the award-winning psychologist and author Dr. Ethan Kross, who reveals the hidden power of our inner voice and how we can harness it to live healthier, more satisfying, and more productive lives. Dr. Kross is the author of "Chatter: The Voice in Our Head, Why It Matters, and How to Harness It." What We Discuss About The Power of Our Inner Voice Ethan Kross delves into the inner dialogue we engage in with ourselves. Through research from his lab and real-world examples, such as a struggling pitcher and a spy balancing her dual identities, Kross demonstrates how these internal conversations shape our lives, careers, and relationships. He cautions that succumbing to negative self-talk, referred to as "chatter" by Kross, can harm our physical and mental health, undermine our mood, damage our social connections, and make us falter under stress.

Do men need equal opportunity? Dr. Richard Reeves answers with an emphatic “yes.” His work as senior fellow at the Brookings Institute and director of the Future of the Middle Class Initiative has encouraged him to author the book Of Boys and Men: Why the Modern Male Is Struggling, Why It Matters, and What to Do about It.  In this conversation, Grant and Dr. Reeves respond to the fact that men are underrepresented in higher education and struggling in the professional world, asking: What does affirmative action for men look like? How does child education harm or empower boys, and is the academic world donning a feminine identity? Should we celebrate “toxic” masculinity? Modernity calls for a new contract between men and women. What is the fate of the post-industrial man?

His latest book has made waves worldwide … It's called OF BOYS AND MEN: Why the Modern Male Is Struggling, Why It Matters, and What to Do about It. Notes: How to be a great mom and/or dad? Model the right behavior. Children believe their eyes more than their ears. It's our responsibility to be that positive role model for children. "The secret to life is to take your work seriously, but not yourself." Create a conversation with your team where all ideas are valued equally. "Communication just moves stuff around. Conversations make something new happen. "Boys are behind girls in education all over. College is now 60-40 women."  "In the education system and in terms of many aspects of mental health, boys are really struggling. That isn't to say that girls aren't also struggling but in different ways. In terms of the education system, girls and young women have blown right past boys and men. There's actually a bigger gender gap in education today than there was 50 years ago." "Boys develop later than girls. They should go to school one year later than girls." "The pre-frontal cortex is the CEO of the brain. This develops later in boys than in girls. It's on us to recognize the facts and act accordingly. In this case, Richard is an advocate for starting boys in school one year later than girls." Richard's goal: "To create men who are acceptable at a dance and available in a shipwreck." What are the differences between men and women? "Women tend to have a higher level of agreeableness." "We now live in a world where 40% of women earn more than the typical man, where 40% of breadwinners in the U.S. are women. This is a gigantic social change that is entirely positive, looked at through one lens, and we should certainly celebrate it. But... It does raise this question, which is, well, what about men? What does it mean to be a guy in a world where the role of provider can no longer be presumed? What it means is that we urgently, desperately need to update our models of fatherhood, especially, and of masculinity, to fit with this new world." “The problem with men is typically framed as a problem of men. It is men who must be fixed, one man or boy at a time. This individualist approach is wrong.” Life/Career advice: It takes time to understand how your talents will be best used. Be patient. It's not a race. Be the type of person that people want to work with… It sounds obvious, but it's not. Be pleasant, be on time, be a great teammate, be thankful, and do great work.

How does masculinity turn toxic? What does it actually mean to be a man? Is the remarkable appeal of a figure like Andrew Tate - the social media influencer - the product of a male malaise in liberal democracies? His TikTok videos have been condemned as deeply misogynistic but have been viewed billions of times. He has tens of millions of followers globally - most of them male, many of them very young. The Today programme's Amol Rajan spoke to Mike Thompson, a former English teacher who now runs workshops about masculinity in Lancashire and Richard Reeves, the author of Of Boys and Men: Why the Modern Male is Struggling, Why It Matters, and What To Do About It..

What does it mean to be a child of God? Many people of faith bring God into every aspect of their lives, but for some individuals, their faith is an entirely separate experience from their day-to-day living. However, God is always with us. He is everywhere in the world. Yet despite His omnipresence, society constantly wants us to live a certain way — and that is away from God.  The enemy and occult practices twist the truth just enought to lead people astray.In this episode of the Revelations Podcast, Jenny Mire is here to remind us to stay strong and rooted[1] in God's Word. She talks about the ongoing spiritual battle and how we need to grow deeper in our relationship with Christ, so we don't get swept away by worldly desires and expectations. Don't miss this episode to better understand what it means to be rooted in God's love.Here are three reasons why you should listen to this episode:Understand what it means to be rooted in God's Word and love. Discover how to look at the world through a Biblical lens and remember the ongoing spiritual war that is still waging today.Learn to discern what the world wants from what God wants.ResourcesMore from The Rooted Truth Podcast: Website | Apple PodcastConnect with Jenny: Website | InstagramThink Fit Method Supernatural: What the Bible Teaches About the Unseen World - and Why It Matters by Dr. Michael Heiser Bible Verses:Ephesians 3:14-19This Episode is brought to you by Advanced Medicine AlternativesGet back to the active life you love through natural & regenerative musculoskeletal healing: https://www.georgekramermd.com/Episode Highlights[02:31] Introducing Jenny and The Rooted Truth PodcastJenny has been married for 18 years and has 3 children. She was previously in the mental health and fitness industry. She became a personal trainer after teaching herself weight training. At the end of 2019, Jenny made a commitment to read the Bible every day. Jenny was already incorporating the Bible into her fitness programs, but God directed her to start Bible studies and eventually launch her podcast.[08:57] How God Directed JennyShe grew up in a Christian home.  She remembers a church member who prophesized that she will have something to say one day. In 2021, Jenny struggled to keep up with her fitness business because of its superficial nature.When Jenny felt burned out, she started hosting Bible studies. She had one that took 11 weeks long and resulted in over 170 pages. [14:44] The Jewish Festivals and Biblical FeastsThe Lord's Biblical feasts are not limited to the Jews.Jenny shares how her studies and retreats coincided with important dates of the Feast. She now partners with Remnant Rising to write Bible Studies.(14:59) Reagan: “You need people to help you and come alongside you . . .

We're not meant to do it alone.”[20:27] The Rooted Truth PodcastJenny's podcast covers a variety of topics, from people being canceled on social media in 2020 to deep dives into Biblical topics.   There is also a members-only section for more controversial topics. Jenny's heart is for women to read the Bible for themselves.Jenny also has a series of Bible Studies with corresponding PDF downloads to help people study them more. There is a spiritual war. We need to be ready and know our enemies. She shares how research about the Nephilim and pre-flood ancient technology has brought the Bible alive for her. Tune in to the episode to hear more from Jenny!Gaining knowledge from her guests through their research on Genesis 6 has opened her eyes in a new way to the Scriptures.[27:41] How to Look at the World and Be Grounded Seek the truth with a Biblical perspective. What do some of the mysteries of the Bible like giants really mean?The more Jenny reads God's Word, the more she realizes it's a love story of God for us. Jenny talks about having tough experiences, but she leaned onto God for rest and comfort. (29:39) Jenny: “I do think it's really important to have that Biblical foundation when you're looking at the world because without that, I think a lot of people are falling into the New Age trap as well.”[33:45] Jenny's Service We all have a mission to spread His word. There are so many things happening in the world. Wherever we are, that's where we're called to share. (35:43) Jenny: “You don't necessarily have to have a business around it or be on social media. Your mission field is where your two feet are planted. If we, as a body of Christ, actually step into that, what amazing things would happen for the kingdom.”[37:39] Remember What God Did For Us Remember God's sacrifice and what it means. This will help you understand who you need to be in Christ, not what the world wants you to be. When man fell, the first sacrifice was an animal. The final sacrifice was the blood of Christ. We don't need to live in guilt and shame because of His sacrifice.(38:21) Jenny: “So man fell, sin entered the world. That first sacrifice . . . God used that animal to cover them. So what now covers us [is] the blood of Jesus. So when you understand that and rest into that of who you are, not who the world wants you to be, but who you are in Christ.”[40:18] How to Raise Children Whenever her children ask questions, Jenny would always point back to the Bible.Children are different. We need God's wisdom to guide us in raising them.[43:03] How to Stay StrongJenny recommends taking time off things. Pray and ask God for discernment and wisdom. Be aware of what's happening in the world. God will reveal things to help people. Remember, God is always with you. Bring Him more into your day-to-day life. About JennyJenny Mire is the founder and host of The Rooted Truth Podcast.

The arrest of controversial British-American influencer Andrew Tate in Romania as a part of a human trafficking and rape investigation has pulled his brand of online misogyny back into the headlines. Tate, who denies the allegations against him, is a former kickboxer who rose to fame in 2016 when he was removed from TV show Big Brother over a video which appeared to depict him attacking a woman. He claimed at the time that the video had been edited and was “a total lie”. He is among a group of influencers who have gained popularity - or notoriety - by advocating a lifestyle in which women are reduced to being subservient to men. The language can be harsh and explicit -- but the ideas appear to be gaining traction with a generation of teenagers and young men. Does the appeal of a more aggressive stance against women and equality suggest there is a crisis of masculinity? Has feminism made its claims at the expense of men? Or is this simply the effect of social media amplifying attitudes that have always existed? Ritula Shah is joined by a panel of experts: Richard Reeves - Senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.

On today's ID the Future, astrophysicist and intelligent design proponent Bijan Nemati shares the first part of his story of science and faith. Those who follow Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture may know Nemati from his appearance in the popular ID documentary The Privileged Planet. Born and raised in Iran, he moved to the United States shortly before the Iranian revolution, became an atheist in college, but eventually found his way to a strong religious faith, in part through his exposure to the scientific evidence for intelligent design, first in biology and then in cosmology. Along the way he landed a high-level job with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and became a leading expert in space interferometer telescopes Read More › Source

Happy New Year! And welcome to the fifth and final episode for the month of December. This month on The Habit Thrive Podcast, we have been exploring our Habit of Stress. Today, we are going to wrap up that discussion by Harnessing our Stress for an Awesome 2023! As many of you are no doubt contemplating New Years resolutions or even just thoughts of where you want your life to head in the next year, I have three suggestions for you to ponder and perhaps explore: First, ditch the resolutions and embrace intentions instead. Traditionally, at New Years, the practice for many of us has been to set New Years' resolutions. And while there's nothing wrong with setting goals or having a bucket list (In fact, those of you who know me know that I'm a huge fan!), I challenge you to focus more on WHO you want to BE rather than WHAT you want to DO. So, do you want to BE happier? Healthier? Fitter? Stronger? More organized? More awake?, More aware?, More present? More curious? More connected to your community or family? Let's chat about how to use your “BE” to launch your “DO” for 2023. Second, entertain the idea that stress can actually be your friend and can be helpful when it comes to your intentions. When we can see, feel and understand that the physiological stress response in our body can be changed by our thoughts about stress …it is not only mind blowing but life changing. To help with that understanding, I encourage you to watch Kelly Mcgonical's TED Talk: “How to make stress your friend”. Kelly Mcgonigal is a health psychologist teaching at Stanford University and specializing in the mind-body connection, teaches us the power we have to control what happens to our body and our mind. Trust me when I say it is life changing AND potentially life saving! My third suggestion is to simply celebrate your successes along the way. Instead of kicking yourself for missing a day at the gym or eating a bowl of ice cream instead of yogurt, give yourself grace and instead look for your wins. Maybe you successfully used Nikki Gangemi's CALM Method (Episode #24) to reframe some negative thoughts. Or chanting along with Suzanne Mongrain-Smith (Episode #26) made you feel more connected to the world around you. Give yourself a big pat on the back and CELEBRATE! Have a wonderful New Year's Eve, New Year's Day and I will see you next year! Lorrie xoxox 2013 - How to Make Stress your Friend Ted talk More About Kelly McGonigal, Ph.D. Kelly McGonigal is a health psychologist teaching at Stanford University and specializing in the mind-body connection. Her work focuses on how we can translate neuroscience and modern psychology research into practical strategies for better health, happiness, personal success, and relationships.

Sean Illing talks with author, researcher, and Brookings Institution senior fellow Richard V. Reeves about his new book Of Boys and Men, which documents the ways that males all over the industrialized world are struggling — and what to do about it. Sean and Richard talk about how this crisis among men has its roots in the progress societies have made toward gender equality, about what has been exposed as the playing field has become more level, and about how to challenge our traditional understandings of masculinity and fatherhood in order to address the crisis — which, Reeves says, will be to everybody's benefit.

Today we're talking about the Senate's passing of the Respect for Marriage Act and how Christians should respond. We look at the reasons why this bill is so dangerous for religious liberty and discuss our utter disappointment in the weak Republicans who voted this in. Then, we're joined by Pedro Gonzalez, associate editor at Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture, to discuss his new report, "The Transgender Leviathan," which is a deep dive into the world of trans culture and ideology. We discuss how lucrative the transgender medical industry is, who is profiting from "gender-affirming care," specifically surgeries and drugs that ruin young peoples' bodies, and why exactly these entities feel incentivized to keep encouraging these "treatments." We cover the story of John Money's horrific experiments on David Reimer, a boy raised as a girl under medical advice. We talk about how it's both Democrats and Republicans who have contributed to this issue and ask how conservatives should respond and what we can do. --- Timecodes: [00:56] Christmas merch [03:48] Respect for Marriage Act [23:10] Interview with Pedro begins [34:00] Lupron [43:45] David Reimer and John Money [59:25] Bipartisan contribution --- Today's Sponsors: Genucel — go to genucel.com/ALLIE and get the skincare package for 75% off.
