Podcasts about Wisdom

In this lively episode of Wise_N_Nerdy, Charles and Joe once again roll the dice—literally—to guide the conversation through fatherhood, fandom, and plenty of laughs along the way. The episode kicks off with the Question of the Week: “What's a weird talent that you have?” Joe admits to a surprisingly impressive (and mildly dangerous) skill—tossing food into the air and catching it in his mouth—while Charles confesses he is unnervingly good at towel snapping, a talent that may or may not have struck fear into siblings everywhere. With the dice deciding their fate, the show jumps first into Parliament of Papas, where Charles and Joe tackle a modern relationship dilemma: is it ever okay to skip ahead in a show you're watching with someone else? The discussion balances humor, honesty, and hard-earned dad wisdom, as they explore trust, spoilers, and unspoken TV-watching rules. Next up is the “How Do I…?” segment, where the hosts get real about helping kids with homework—especially when it's been years (or decades) since they last saw the material. From relearning concepts on the fly to modeling perseverance and curiosity, Charles and Joe share practical strategies that resonate with parents everywhere. Then the episode hits a high (or low, depending on your tolerance) point with Bad Dad Jokes, featuring a special guest appearance by Joe's son, Bob. Bob delivers a rapid-fire barrage of jokes so groan-worthy that the segment earns a new name: “Groans with Charles.” It's wholesome, hilarious, and peak Wise_N_Nerdy energy. The dice roll again, ushering in “What Are You Nerding Out About?” Joe dives into the anime Easygoing Territory Defense by the Optimistic Lord, praising it as a low-stakes power fantasy isekai that's perfect comfort viewing. Charles follows up by nerding out about something closer to home—recent snow days—and the unexpected joy and chaos they bring to family life. The episode wraps with “Daddy, Tell Me A Story,” as Charles and Joe reflect on the fandoms that shaped them growing up. They focus especially on Star Wars and Star Trek, discussing how these universes sparked imagination, values, and lifelong connections that they now share with their own kids. It's a heartfelt reminder of why fandom matters—and how it bridges generations. Whether you're here for parenting advice, nerdy tangents, or laughs that make you shake your head, this episode invites you to Find your FAMdom and enjoy the ride.

Matthew Spalding is a professor of constitutional government at Hillsdale College and author of “The Making of the American Mind: The Story of The Declaration of Independence.”A century ago, progressive historian Carl Becker argued that whether or not we have natural, inalienable rights as described in the Declaration had become a meaningless question. He believed that the idea of natural rights was not a veritable truth but merely a creed or faith of the men of his time and a product of historical circumstances.Spalding disagrees. He argues that the existence of natural rights and natural law lies at the very heart of the Declaration of Independence. “It's a claim of truth,” Spalding says.Spalding regards the Declaration as America's “epic poetry”: “It's the heart of America ... really the heart of Western civilization.”The founders saw themselves as part of, and as a continuation of, a deep and long tradition, in particular the Greek, Roman, and Judeo-Christian beliefs in natural law and free will.However, after the American Civil War, early American progressives no longer viewed it that way, he says.Their goal was to transform the United States into what they considered a modern state, and they turned away from natural law and God-given rights, and they viewed the U.S. Constitution as a “living document.”Now more than ever, it is vital to rediscover the true meaning and importance of the Declaration, Spalding argues.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Welcome to Day 2792 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2792 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 109:26-31 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2792 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day two thousand seven hundred ninety-two of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Wisdom-Trek: The Verdict of Love – Standing at the Right Hand of the Poor. Today, we reach the conclusion of our journey through the valley of betrayal, Psalm One Hundred Nine. We are trekking through the final stanza, verses twenty-six through thirty-one, in the New Living Translation. In our previous trek, we walked through the darkest corridors of this psalm. We heard David's agonizing cry for justice against the enemy who had repaid his love with hatred. We witnessed the "Boomerang of Justice," where David prayed for the very curses his enemy loved to return upon his own head—for his name to be blotted out and his prayers to be counted as sin. We saw David broken, fasting, fading like a shadow, and mocked by the public. It was a scene of utter devastation. But as we arrive at these final six verses, the atmosphere in the courtroom shifts. David has made his case. He has laid out the evidence of his enemy's cruelty and his own innocence. Now, he turns his face fully toward the Judge. In this closing prayer, we move from the Curse to the Confidence. We see the Accuser—the "Satan" at the enemy's right hand—replaced by a greater Advocate. We see David move from the shame of being a byword to the joy of public praise. And we discover that the ultimate answer to slander is not revenge, but Rescue. So, let us stand with David as the verdict is read. Segment one is: The Final Appeal: Save Me by Your Hesed. Psalm One Hundred Nine: verse twenty-six. Help me, O Lord my God! Save me because of your unfailing love. After the torrent of curses and the description of his own misery, David distills his entire request into one simple, desperate cry: "Help me, O Lord my God!" The word "Help" (ozreni) implies active assistance. He is asking God to step into the fray. But notice the basis of his appeal: "Save me because of your unfailing love." Here is our covenant word again: Hesed. This is crucial. David does not say, "Save me because I am innocent," even though he is. He does not say, "Save me because my enemy is wicked," even though he is. He says, "Save me because of Your character." David anchors his salvation in the loyal love of Yahweh. Even when human love is repaid with hatred (verse five), God's love remains constant. This is the bedrock of all true prayer. When we have nothing else to offer—when we are "skin and bones" (verse 24)—we can always appeal to God's nature. "Lord, be who You are. You are the God of Hesed; therefore, save me." The second segment is: The Theology of Vindication: Let Them Know It Was You. Psalm One Hundred Nine: verse twenty-seven. Let them...

We're diving back into John's gospel, and this time we're listening in to Jesus' final words to his disciples the night before he dies. Before we get there though, in this episode we consider the big themes that underpin all that follows: God's Glory and Christ's impending death.

“Why are you alive?” I am often asked.By divine design is surely an answer as to why I am alive. It is anabSOULute miracle that I survived my MK Ultra victimization to heal andexpose perpeTraitors and their nefarious crimes against humanity.Especially Bushes and Clintons. I am acutely aware many did not surviveexposing half what I did in TRANCE Formation of America.TRANCE Formation of America is a pivotal reason why I am alive forseveral reasons.Intelligence insider Mark Phillips is key. Mark was working the highestlevels of intelligence mind sciences to preserve the sanctity of free thought.He was a spook, which meant he had Clearance to be any where he chosewearing any disguise; FBI, CIA, DIA, NSA, Secret Service. Etc.Mark had friends in high places who respected him deeply for his wisdom,moral integrity, and fortitude. So when Mark lifted my daughter Kelly andme out of the Washington DC human trafficking swamp in 1988, he was notalone in his efforts to stop MK Ultra mind control, and the dark globalistagenda that is funded by child sex trafficking/harvesting.As quickly as I deprogrammed by writing out memory of my MK Ultra mindcontrol experience, Mark's friends investigated my claims and gatheredevidence to support my testimony for Congress. National Security wasinvoked on my testimony in 1995 due to validity and overwhelmingevidence… and because Bill Clinton was acting President.The 1947 National Security Act reverberates with meaning, and concernsfor our survival were extreme. Upon advice, Mark and I quickly compiledvalidated testimony into book form TRANCE Formation of America whichclean members of Congress- both Democrat and Republican- handdistributed to all members of Congress, Intelligence, and more. This savedour lives.The secrets were out. “Suiciding” us would only spotlight perpeTraitors'guilt even more. Conventional Justice was at a standstill while Mark and Ipursued the ultimate justice of positive change through public awareness.Agents incognito wearing suits, sunglasses, carrying briefcases, and hidingbehind newspapers with eyeholes cut in them would attend every one ofMark's and my speaking engagements to ensure we did not violateNational Security restrictions with words like “revolution.” Mark and I walkeda fine legal line akin to a tightrope for years in order to survive to speak outon my daughter Kelly's behalf.Kelly was a victim of the system corrupted by our politically affluentabusers, was medically kidnapped by so-called child protective services,and held political prisoner for Reasons of National Security until she was18. It was love for Kelly that compelled me to speak out, and love is themost powerful force by which to navigate and survive the impossible.ACCESS DENIED For Reasons of National Security documents ourjourney though the corrupted justice and mental health system, and is amust read for those still seeking to understand how we survived.So why am I alive?As long as I am still alive, I will continue to speak out until the ultimatejustice of positive change through public awareness is achieved… for thechildren's sake.My newest book Align with the Divine illustrates on a deeper level howMark, Kelly, and I survived to expose the globalist dark agenda in light oftruth that makes us free. All of us are much smarter than we think…literally. Experience Align with the Divine for your self.Like Mark always said, “wisdom outthinks criminal minds and artificialintelligence every time.” Wisdom is within us all and is our saving gracewhen we align with the divine within, gather our strength spirit and live ourlife's purpose in light of love.Today...

Wisdom never lies — and Proverbs 1 proves life is a numbers game where truth always adds up. In this powerful episode of The VIBE Podcast, we break down how loving wisdom protects you from being controlled by those who don't.If you don't love numbers, you will always be controlled by someone who does.Have you ever noticed how numbers are unemotional? They simply tell the truth — no spin, no manipulation, no feelings attached. I've always loved numbers for that reason. They remind me of my wife… don't ask her a question unless you're ready for the real answer.Proverbs 1 lays out a clear equation for life:Wisdom leads to instruction.Instruction builds understanding.Understanding produces insight.Insight develops discretion.Discretion strengthens discernment.And discernment guides wise decisions.It's the wisdom sandwich — and it's the foundation for everything that lasts.In this episode, we explore:• Why wisdom calls out loudly, clearly, and unemotionally• How people will always offer shiny rewards without ethics• Why circumstances will challenge what you believe• What happens when we manipulate the story in our own minds• How to reset when life feels off trackJust like 2 + 2 always equals 4, Proverbs 1 is a simple equation for success, stability, and blessing.When we fall in love with wisdom, everything changes.When we ignore it, the numbers don't lie — things don't go well.If you've ever felt confused, overwhelmed, or pulled in the wrong direction, this episode will help you reset your mind, refocus your foundation, and return to what truly works.Listen, apply, and watch the results add up.

In this episode, we're talking about goji berries—what they are, where they come from, and why they've earned their reputation as a nutrient-dense “superfood.” You'll learn the practical health benefits of goji berries, including how they support energy, immunity, eye health, and overall wellness. But we're also zooming out to remember an important truth: real healing is about more than finding the perfect food or remedy. As Christian women, our health journey involves body, mind, and spirit working together—not chasing the next trendy solution. If you've felt overwhelmed by all the health advice out there, this episode will help you stay grounded, balanced, and faith-centered in your approach to wellness. What You'll Learn What goji berries actually are The key nutrients and health benefits they offer Simple, practical ways to include them in your diet Why no single food can “fix” everything How to keep a biblical, whole-person perspective on healing Key Takeaways Goji berries can be a healthy, nourishing addition to your routine. Superfoods are helpful—but they are not magic solutions. True healing happens when we care for our whole selves: physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Wisdom and discernment matter more than chasing every new health trend. Small, consistent choices rooted in faith bring more peace than quick fixes. If you're listening and feeling overwhelmed by health decisions right now, you don't have to navigate it alone. I offer one-on-one sessions where I help you slow everything down, find peace, and get clear on your next steps.

Creativity isn't a rare talent—it's a trainable process. In this episode, you'll hear a master creator break down what actually happens when inspiration hits, and how to build the conditions for it to return. On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sayan sits down with world-renowned theater artist and author Stan Lai to explore the difference between method (technique) and wisdom (meaning). This conversation is for artists, founders, professionals, and curious minds who want deeper focus, better ideas, and a more confident creative practice—without chasing external validation or forcing output. About the Guest: Stan Lai is a celebrated playwright and theater director with over 40 years of experience and more than 40 full-length plays staged, beginning in Taiwan and across China. His book Creativity has sold over a million copies in Chinese and is being used as the foundation for university-level creativity curriculum initiatives. Key Takeaways: Upgrade your creative results by separating technique (method) from meaning (wisdom). Use the “Where is the music?” test: impressive skill isn't the same as expressive depth. Build a richer inner library—your mind can only create from the “files” you collect. Treat inspiration as combination: the creative mind pulls different internal files and connects them fast. Protect nuance by slowing inputs (less scrolling, more deliberate attention). Find wisdom outside formal education—schools often teach method, not life-direction.

A friend was just telling me about how their boss use to be easy to work with, but something changed a year ago and now their boss is extremely hard to get along with.

What if the tension so many mothers feel isn't a personal failure but a sign that modern parenting has drifted too far from what children actually need? In this episode of The Millionaire Mother Podcast, Cait sits down with Chinyelu Kunz, founder of We Nurture, longtime Waldorf early childhood educator, author, and mother of three grown children raised fully within the Waldorf tradition. Together, Cait and Chinyelu explore why so many children struggle with regulation and behavior today, the critical difference between schedules and rhythm, and how imagination, storytelling, and predictable daily anchors support a child's nervous system in profound ways. Tune in to hear: What Waldorf education actually is and why it's often misunderstood Why rushing childhood creates more resistance, not resilience The difference between rigid schedules and body-based rhythm How rhythm provides children with safety and emotional regulation Why imagination is foundational to learning, creativity, and confidence How storytelling and play shape a child's inner world Why children don't want control but do need predictability Simple "anchors of the day" that support calmer family life How to parent with reverence while still living in the modern world What it looks like to witness who your child already is, rather than trying to shape them Connect with Chinyelu: The Little Book of Parenting: How to Nurture Your Child to their Full Potential Children's book - Away To Dreamland - Cozy Bedtime Poems, Stories, and Rhymes Instagram: @we_nurture Website: https://wenurturecollective.com We Nurture: Waldorf Inspired Parenting Podcast Home Rhythms Made Simple Course   Join the Beloved masterclass with Mel Wells on 2/17

Ayurvedic practitioner and author Heather Grzych explores why the question "What is my purpose?" so often feels impossible to answer, and why trying to figure out your life purpose by thinking harder can actually make you feel more stuck, anxious, and disconnected. This episode examines the physical and emotional signs people experience when their life no longer fits, including burnout, fatigue, lack of motivation, and low-grade anxiety. Heather explains how purpose is not a mental decision or career choice, but something that reveals itself when you stop forcing answers and start listening to your body, your energy, and your lived patterns over time. This episode is for anyone feeling lost after a life transition, questioning their work or direction, or searching for meaning beyond productivity and external expectations. This is part 3 of a series on finding your purpose. Heather Grzych, ADLC is an American author and expert in Ayurvedic medicine who was formerly the president of the National Ayurvedic Medical Association and the head of product development for a multi-billion-dollar health insurance company.

This episode is a deep dive into death, vulnerability, and the strange grace that appears when we stop running and start facing reality with the holy name on our lips. A near-death moment in Māyāpur cracks open one of life's most carefully avoided truths: everything we refuse to face quietly takes control from the shadows. In this episode of Wisdom of the Sages, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore Carl Jung's piercing insight—"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate"—and why bhakti is anything but spiritual bypassing. ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST?

The loudest voices promise easy money; the real builders talk about gates you forgot to latch, early alarms, and math you can check. We sit down with Aaron Chapman, a former ranch hand and underground miner turned EVP and author, to unpack how real estate investors actually create durable wealth without getting played by hype.Aaron breaks down why “cheapest” is often the costliest mistake, and how skilled operators and smart lending choices change outcomes when markets turn. We go deep on the compounding advantages of 30-year fixed debt: stable payments, rising rents, steady appreciation, amortization, and the sneaky tailwind of inflation. From the Taco Bell index to a one-ounce gold lesson, he shows how a $200K property with 20 percent down can outperform the flashier plays that dominated from 2019 to 2023. If you've been tempted by syndications promising double-digit returns, you'll hear the risks, red flags, and the case for controlling the asset you own.Beyond the numbers, we dig into the habits that separate winners from wishers: get up before the day kicks you, build your foundation before you buy, and choose prevention over cure. Aaron shares the comeback from a life-altering motorcycle crash, the client who found a path to retirement with ten rentals, and the faith that reframes adversity as training rather than punishment. His new book, Redneck Economics, captures these lessons with vivid illustrations and straight talk designed to move you from internalizing the noise to externalizing your plan.Looking to trade hype for hard edges and a plan you control? Press play, take notes, and then take the next step toward assets, discipline, and a future you can stand behind.

Welcome to Day 2790 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2790 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 109:6-25 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2790 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2790 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. The title for today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Boomerang of Justice – Wearing Curses Like a Cloak. Today, we are walking into the storm. We are continuing our journey through Psalm One Hundred Nine, and we are covering the most difficult and controversial section of the entire book: verses six through twenty-five, in the New Living Translation. In our previous trek, we stood with David in the opening five verses. We saw him as a man betrayed. He said, "I love them, but they try to destroy me." He told us that in return for his friendship, they acted as his "accusers"—literally, they acted as "satans" or adversaries against him. They repaid evil for good and hatred for love. David's response in that first section was to become "prayer"—to retreat entirely into God. But today, we see what he prayed. And frankly, it is terrifying. Verses six through twenty are often called the "Imprecatory Psalms"—the cursing psalms. David unleashes a torrent of judgment upon his enemy that leaves no stone unturned. He prays for his enemy's death, the destruction of his family, the loss of his job, and the erasure of his name from history. Many people struggle with these verses. They ask, "How can a man after God's own heart pray this way? Isn't this un-Christian?" To understand this, we must put on our Ancient Israelite worldview lenses. This is not personal revenge; this is an appeal to Retributive Justice. This is the law of the boomerang. David is asking God to let the punishment fit the crime exactly. The enemy wanted to destroy David's life and legacy without cause; David is asking the Divine Judge to let that destruction fall back on the enemy's own head. It is a passionate plea for the moral order of the universe to be upheld. So, brace yourselves. We are about to witness the severity of God's justice. The first Segment is: The Appointment of the Accuser. Psalm One Hundred Nine: verses six through seven. They say, "Get an evil person to turn against him. Send an accuser to bring him to trial.  When his case comes up for judgment, let him be pronounced guilty. Count his prayers as sins." Now, there is a debate among scholars here. Some translations, and the NLT implies this with "They say," suggest that these verses are actually the enemies' curses against David. However, the Hebrew text is ambiguous, and historically, most interpreters view this as David speaking against his enemy, asking God to subject the enemy to the very legal warfare he used against David. We will proceed with that understanding, as it fits the flow of the rest of the psalm. David prays: "Get an evil person to turn against him. Send an accuser to bring him to trial."...

A friend was just telling me about how their boss use to be easy to work with, but something changed a year ago and now their boss is extremely hard to get along with. It's become so bad, that my friend is looking for another job! Our story this week is about King Solomon who started out committed to God, but as time went by he changed. Now he wasn't worshiping God, but idols! How can that happen?

In this Jewish Inspiration Podcast episode (Day 122), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe concludes the Gate of Falsehood (Sheker) from Orchos Tzaddikim and transitions toward the upcoming Gate of Truth. He explores the final categories of permissible "white lies" and strategies to avoid outright falsehood while maintaining peace or dignity:Pushing off requests without lying — If asked to lend something you don't want to give, don't say “I don't have it” (falsehood); instead, say “I'm not able to help right now” or “I'm busy.” Even small commitments (“I'll give you this”) must be honored—breaking them is covenant-like betrayal.False assurances — Promising benefit/gifts to gain trust, then reneging, incurs severe punishment (worse than vague lies).Boasting false qualities — Taking credit/praise for traits one lacks (or misusing true praise for self-glory) is theft of honor.Distorting heard facts — Even without gain/damage, altering details trains the tongue in sheker.Permitted “lies” — For peace (Aaron's method: telling quarreling parties the other regrets), praising a bride (even if not fully true), minimizing Torah knowledge, hospitality (don't publicize a gracious host to avoid exploitation), marital privacy (redirect questions), or small gifts (don't retract after promising).The rabbi stresses: falsehood distances from Hashem (Emet/truth); even “harmless” lies habituate deception. Best to divert/redirect questions rather than lie. Truth stands forever; sheker collapses. The episode ends previewing the Gate of Truth—Hashem's essence—and urging vigilance against rationalized lies.Recorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on July 15, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on February 4, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

In this episode of The Jury is Out, Tim Cronin and John Simon pick the brain of Thomas R. Conner, a fourth-generation retired trail lawyer who spent 45 years fighting high stakes litigation in Houston. Tom shares practical trial preparation tips and what he believes young lawyers aren't taught in law school about resilience, long-term career satisfaction, and emotional endurance. In his upcoming book, From Cotton Fields to Courtrooms: A Texas Lawyer's Memoir, Tom reflects on his journey from a childhood in rural West Texas to the emotionally charged world of courtroom litigation.

When we think about mastering life, it's easy to imagine that it's about how many boxes we've checked, how many milestones we've achieved, or how impressive we look from the outside. But the truth is, everyone experiences the chaos of life. Life mastery isn't about everything being perfect—it's about being open to what life is actually bringing us, especially when things don't go according to plan.In this episode, I share my personal experience with the reality that “life happens” to all of us, along with the tools I rely on when everything feels overwhelming. We talk about the key to staying steady, anchored, and emotionally regulated: learning how to practice real self-care and truly be with yourself.Living an intentional life rooted in self-connection isn't the easiest path, but it is the most rewarding. When we're willing to feel the difficult emotions and stay present with ourselves, we can experience growth and expansion even when things fall apart. There is a wholeness in life mastery that can't be found by pretending that we have it all together.We can't control what life brings our way. What we can choose is how we show up—the energy we bring, where we place our focus, and how we care for ourselves along the way. Life will test our ability to stay focused and grounded, and it's a gift that we can learn how to maintain our well-being and stay connected to ourselves, no matter what unfolds. Let's dive in!​What you'll learn:Why life mastery is less about achievement and more about feeling fully alive and presentHow self-connection helps you stay steady during challenging seasonsHow challenging it can be when we feel as though our capabilities and our capacity are limitedThe importance of being anchored in a destination when life happens and you're thrown off courseWhy real self-care means supporting your body, mind, and nervous systemYou can read the full show notes here.Connect with Molly ClaireGet the book: She Rises: Insights and Wisdom from the Women of The Masterful Coach CollectiveMolly's Website: MollyClaire.ComMaster Coach Training 2026 Application OpenHave a question or thoughts about the podcast?
