She was the daughter of a prominent family in Nicomedia during the reign of the persecutor Maximian (286-305). Her parents betrothed her to a nobleman named Eleusius, but without his knowledge, or that of her parents, she had already committed her life to Christ, and consecrated her virginity to him. To put off her suitor, she told him that she would not marry him until he became Prefect. Eleusius went to work using his fortune to bribe and influence those in power, and succeeded in being appointed Prefect of Nicomedia. When he went to Juliana to claim her as his wife, she was forced to confess herself a Christian, saying that she would never marry him unless he gave up the worship of idols and embraced the faith of Christ. For her confession, she was arrested and taken before the Prefect: Eleusius, her once-ardent suitor. He was now filled with an ardent rage toward her and, when she would not renounce her faith, had her subjected to the most sadistic tortures imaginable. Miraculously, she endured these without harm. Witnessing this wonder, 500 men and 130 women from among the pagans confessed Christ. The enraged Prefect had all of them beheaded immediately, followed by Juliana herself. She was eighteen years old when she won the Martyr's crown.

Mark Clifton and Mark Hallock talk honestly about why many pastors' kids (PKs) struggle spiritually or walk away from the faith, using Chuck Lawless's article, “10 Reasons Preacher's Kids Strayed,” as a starting point. If you're a pastor, ministry leader, or parent in church leadership, this episode will help you better understand the unique pressures pastors' kids face and how to care for their hearts with wisdom and grace. In this episode, they unpack 10 reasons pastors' kids stray from the church or from faith: 1. They weren't (and aren't) perfect. PKs often feel pressure to be the “ideal Christian kid.” Constant expectations and scrutiny can lead to burnout, resentment, or hidden struggles. 2. The church told them how to live, but didn't personally walk with them. They heard the rules and standards but lacked discipleship, mentoring, and real-life guidance. 3. They didn't know what to do when their pastor-parent seemed too busy. Ministry can crowd out family time, leaving kids feeling overlooked or unimportant. 4. They kept their struggles to themselves. Fear of judgment or hurting their parents' reputation can keep PKs silent about doubts and sin. 5. They felt overwhelmed by temptation and didn't know how to respond. Without safe, honest conversations about sin, grace, and repentance, temptation can isolate them. 6. They weren't actually saved yet. Growing up in a ministry home doesn't guarantee genuine conversion or a personal relationship with Christ. 7. They wanted to experiment. Curiosity, peer pressure, or a desire for independence can lead them to test boundaries and pursue the world. 8. They were rebelling against the church. Hurts, hypocrisy, or church conflict can cause PKs to push back against the church and its expectations. 9. They saw too much of the “underbelly” of church life. Witnessing criticism, conflict, betrayal, or gossip about their parents can deeply wound pastors' kids. 10. They followed the lead of their church friends. The influence of peers—whether spiritually apathetic or openly rebellious—can pull PKs away from the Lord. This episode offers pastoral wisdom and practical ideas for: Protecting and shepherding your own kids as a pastor Creating a church culture that cares well for pastors' families Helping pastors' kids process church hurt, doubt, and disappointment Resources Mentioned in This Episode: “10 Reasons Preacher's Kids Strayed” by Chuck Lawless “How does a pastor respond to: ‘When is my child ready for baptism?'” by Mark Hallock Listen in for a thoughtful conversation on pastors' kids, church hurt, and helping PKs follow Jesus with authentic, lasting faith.

I was raised in a traditional Chinese family, where my mother was a stay-at-home parent. Witnessing her profound unhappiness, I made a vow to myself: I would never follow that path. This fueled my intense drive to pursue a higher education and build a demanding career.The shock came after we adopted our daughter and welcomed our son shortly thereafter. To my absolute surprise, I loved being with my children and yearned for more time with them. This realization triggered a massive identity crisis. Everything I had worked for—who I was, and who I was becoming—was suddenly in question.The decision to quit my job and become a full-time mother was incredibly difficult. As an international student, my career path had been anything but smooth. When my children arrived, I had finally achieved the dream career I had always wanted. Walking away from it felt impossible and, frankly, silly at the time.  but I finally did and I wish I had done it sooner.  Now I want to share my story and what I learned about this transition with other moms.  I am an author!FIND HER HERE:www.thepivotmom.com for more resource and get instant access to The Permission to Pivot Blueprint.  https://www.instagram.com/kimthepivotmomhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/kim-patten/

Can we just take a moment to talk about this defense?! The Seahawks move to 10-3 with a comprehensive 2nd half showing to beat the Atlanta Falcons 37-9. Join Mitch and Josh as they look deep into the game tape and talk about how Mike MacDonald and the Seahawks did it including:

What if the most important person in your life handed you their most powerful peer group and said "yes you can" when you were certain you couldn't? In this episode, Natalie Michael, executive coach and CEO Forum Chair with 20 years of experience guiding leaders through transitions, shares her journey from psychology studies and consciousness research to becoming the person who holds space for some of the most powerful entrepreneurs in Canada. After riding the .com boom from 2 million to 30 million in four years with no outside venture capital, Natalie learned what she loved and what exhausted her about the entrepreneurial journey, forcing her to dig deep into who she was and what she wanted. From her first CEO client (who shocked her by saying yes) to the moment the founder of McKay Forums handed her a peer group filled with billion-dollar CEOs and told her "yes you can" when she was certain she couldn't, Natalie's story reveals the power of someone seeing your potential before you do. Through her work as a Tiger 21 chair and coaching founders through exits worth hundreds of millions, she's witnessed that the people who get there with their spirit intact aren't driven by money, but by contribution, challenge, and a deep understanding of what really matters. Natalie shares why "the money is the outcome" but the journey is everything, how one entrepreneur taught her that "home is where my wife is," and why she's learning to build a life she never wants to retire from through silent weekends and putting her needs on the calendar first.   [00:04:35] The Journey: From Psychology to CEO Transitions Studied psychology with deep interest in consciousness studies, mindset, brain, spirituality, and how they all intersect Through that process realized what she loved and what exhausted her about entrepreneurial journey Had to do soul searching to figure out what was more important than her options plan A lot of the journey exhausted her Had to dig deep: who am I, what do I want, how do I want this journey to look for me? [00:07:20] Witnessing the Journey: Money as Outcome, Not Driver Has ringside seat to the journey through clients she serves Number of clients have had hundred million dollar exits People who get there with their spirit intact are driven not by money They're driven by sense of contribution and challenge, and often a restlessness Didn't understand this earlier but witnesses it the higher up she gets in entrepreneurial space [00:08:18] What Natalie Does: Supporting CEOs at Crossroads Supports founders and CEOs to figure out what's next Looking at how the CEO role does or doesn't fit into that How founder or CEO needs to support that process All the nuances, politics, and emotions that go along with it [00:09:21] The Arc: Moving Up, In, or Out of the C-Suite Works with people trying to become a CEO (moving up into C-suite) With demographics right now, a lot of people thinking about moving out One client was so stressed about his business he sold off locations in almost a fire sale because he couldn't deal anymore [00:11:04] Results That Matter: The Art of Each Client Doesn't associate results with being proud More about the acknowledgment the client provides as they move through the experience When you get to this level with people, you're in each other's circle of trust Like a deep friend from high school: might not talk every day, but when you do, you pick up where you left off [00:12:43] The Timeline: 15 Years of Building This Work Doing this work in various forms for about 15 years Real focus and commitment to CEO transitions as the focus and CEO Next Chapter has been about seven years [00:15:52] The Relationship That Changed Everything: "Yes You Can" Looked at the bios: one running a billion dollar company, one running huge Crown Corporation, one was top entrepreneur "I cannot do this. No way" Founder looked at her and said: "Yes you can. No one's better than you. I totally have faith. You can do this" Combined founder's faith in her with her own personal development around holding space for powerful people That's what her whole career's been built on [00:19:58] The Entrepreneur Who Taught Her What Matters Through that experience, been exposed to people who continue to inspire her Fortunate in her forum to have a man who on paper is one of the most successful entrepreneurs in Canada Built multiple businesses, highly successful, has a foundation So rooted in his family and his love of a challenge as being his driver When you see someone like that behave like that, it gives you permission to put that stuff first [00:24:45] The Tiger 21 Reality: Life After the Exit Work as Tiger 21 chair is "life after the exit or when you're thinking about what's next" A lot of people think those conversations are about squeezing a percentage point on investments Rented a house on an island by herself, meditated, walked in the woods every day, just found herself again Said it was really hard because she was so addicted to feeding her restless energy with action Created a clearing that allowed her to step into what was new from a new identity [00:31:15] Building a Life You Never Want to Retire From "That's kind of the thing that I hold for my clients. It's like, how do you build a life you never wanna retire from?" Reading a book called The 100 Year Life Purpose, relationships, money, and health are all catalysts for being fulfilled For Natalie: if she puts her stuff in her calendar first (things she needs to nourish herself and be healthy and engaged), that goes in first [00:33:39] Silence Weekends: Decompressing the Chatter Started playing with silence weekends, new thing in last couple years Already planning for next one Three days where she goes into the forest, has a bit of a back country experience, does it by herself Very important part of how she wants to serve and lead in the world [00:35:24] Where to Find Natalie & CEO Next Chapter Website: ceonextchapter.com (very easy to remember) "That's essentially the essence of what we do in the world" Thanks Kevin for doing his work in the world and inviting her Inspiring to her, both the question he asked and the choice he made in his own work to focus on relationships   KEY QUOTES "I had value. I add value, I'm adding value, I'm adding value. Listen to add value, listen to add value." - Natalie Michael's mantra "The money is the outcome... but oftentimes the people who get there with their spirit intact, they're driven not by the money. They're driven by a sense of contribution and challenge, and often restlessness." - Natalie Michael "Each time I get a client, it's like a little piece of art. It's my art. And so it's more about the relationship we have as we go through it. That is what is deeply gratifying." - Natalie Michael CONNECT WITH NATALIE MICHAEL

2/8 Witnessing the First Red Guard Murder and the Contested Apologies — Tanya Branigan — This segment examines the 1966 murder of educator Bian Zhongyun by teenage Red Guards at a prestigious girls' secondary school. Her husband, Wang Jingyao, clandestinely preserved physical evidence including bloodstained clothing and photographic documentation of her body, ensuring the atrocity would not be forgotten and pursuing potential justice. Branigan argues that memory itself constitutes an act of historical creation and resistance. Apologies offered by former Red Guards like Song Binbin remain deeply controversial, with critics contending that such statements fail to comprehensively reckon with individual responsibility for targeting and murdering innocent victims. 1966 RED GUARDS

The conversation explores first-century Jewish apocalyptic expectations, drawing on scholarly work about messianic figures and prophetic forerunners.

Join hosts Rolf Jacobson and Kathryn Schifferdecker as they welcome Karoline Lewis, Luther Seminary's resident Gospel of John expert, for the first episode in John's gospel year. This timely discussion explores John 1:19-34, perfect for the first Sunday after Christmas and sermon preparation for the Narrative Lectionary. In this episode, the hosts unpack John the Baptist's crucial role as witness rather than baptizer in the Fourth Gospel. Unlike the synoptic gospels, John presents the Baptist not as Elijah or "the prophet," but as one who testifies to Jesus's identity. Caroline Lewis illuminates how John 1:29's declaration—"Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world"—reveals a profound theological distinction: in John's gospel, "sin" isn't a moral category but describes separation from God.

Your body is screaming for rest, but the moment you try to slow down, every alarm in your system goes off. Why does stillness feel like a threat?Because while you're chasing tangible solutions, your nervous system is running on an invisible map—one created when you were 3 years old. A map that says: the world is dangerous, don't let your guard down. And that map is keeping you sick.Most people don't realize that safety itself feels dangerous. The moment symptoms improve, you're waiting for them to come back. The moment you start to relax, panic sets in. This isn't self-sabotage. This is your nervous system operating on outdated programming—and it's triggering something called Cell Danger Response at the cellular level.In this episode, you'll discover:• Why your nervous system learned that feeling safe is actually dangerous—and how this contradiction is manifesting in your body right now• The unconscious "safety map" created between ages 0-7 that still dictates your healing capacity as an adult• How Cell Danger Response keeps your cells in defense mode, blocking detox, energy production, and healing—no matter what supplements you take• The survival strategies you developed (perfectionism, hyper-independence, people-pleasing) that saved you then but are destroying your health now• Why you can't think, supplement, or protocol your way out of nervous system dysregulation• The three pillars of true nervous system transformation: Awareness, Witnessing, and Integration• Why relational medicine (being seen and held by safe others) is more powerful than any biohack• How one woman raised her HRV from the 30s to the 90s in 90 days using this exact frameworkReady to experience what it feels like to be truly witnessed?

For filmmaker Petra Costa, democracy in her native country of Brazil is personal. Two years after Petra was born, the country returned to democratic rule after more than twenty years of military dictatorship. As Petra grew up, so, too, did the country's democracy. But, in more recent years, as she has meticulously documented in two densely layered and highly personal documentaries — first, in her Academy Award-nominated “The Edge of Democracy,” and now, with her riveting new Netflix documentary “Apocalypse in the Tropics” — Brazil has seen its democratic institutions undermined by a potent mix of right-wing politics and evangelical Christianity.   Petra joins Ken on the pod to discuss the close ties between the right-wing former military officer Jair Bolsonaro, who was elected Brazil's president in 2018, and the highly influential evangelical pastor Silas Malafaia. Witnessing the dissolution of the line between church and state, Petra describes her own deep dive into the Bible to try to explain where the country's apocalyptic turn may have come from — and where it may be headed. Told with a poetical and penetrating narration, this chilling tale of Brazil's teetering democracy has clear resonances with events taking place in the U.S.   Follow: @petracostal on Instagram and X @topdocspod on Instagram and X    Hidden Gem: “El Campeón del Mundo (The Champion of the World)”   The Presenting Sponsor of "Top Docs" is Netflix.

Pastor Brandon teaches on how essential witnessing is in our growth as Christians this week. Witnessing has always been essential in a Christians life and helps us to grow in maturity every day. Telling others about Jesus and what he has done in our lives helps us to know God better and trust Him more.

Part two of Episode 185 Witnessing as an act of self love and universal love. This episode was prompted by my friend and mentor Kaya Usher's comments this morning when she said, people, places and things can wait for your answer. A powerful reminder that we can wait for our own best answer, which may take some time, as we come into alignment with our own source connection, and not in reaction to the timeline or agendas of others.   People can often hide behind responses, patterns and programs that are not serving humanity. As we encounter these people, places and things, how can we choose to embody what we truly want to see in this world. How can we speak or act in a way that will lead to more love in this world. How can we embody the medicine that is needed here and now. In part, we can do that by choosing to take the time we need to witness our own selves in alignment with our own source connection, rather than from the head space where our patterns and programs dwell. So many of us long to create more sacred spaces for ourselves, our children, for all living beings. We long for deeper connection to our unlimited selves. How can we navigate the choppiness of differing opinions in order to get to the real gold. That authentic voice of light which lays beyond is more easily perceived when we can authentically witness ourselves first. Then our discernment of who, what and where to contribute to and with comes forward. We can then begin to weave our golden threads into something that is true medicine for this world. We can choose to speak and act from our alignment to the living pulse we are materialize. This brilliant doorway that opens within you to more of your unlimited expression.  How then can we use witnessing to build community with authenticity and love as it's foundation. I think this is the poem I wrote many years ago when I taught Witnessing as a practice helps to innerstand; Show me who you are
and I will celebrate that beauty with you Show me how you are here expressing
 Show me the beauty of your authentic voice witnessed, I long to hear it, as much as I long to hear my own Show me who you are
 and my ears will drink in that beauty in you As I open to see the beauty in myself
 and allow myself to be witnessed in all the ways I move in this world, 
I can see more of the dance of love expressing and moving through you Show me who you are
, and we will dance barefoot on the Earth with joy I will give you all the space you need to show me who you are, 
I will witness your grace as you show me that note being sung through you to all of creation Those notes we sing together with our love as we bring medicine to this Earth Show me who you are—truly
 and we will sing with that beauty in both of us (poetry copyright Christine Pensa) ~ If we come from this space of witnessing ourselves, and others, we can choose to interact, or not, from that sacred place in ourselves free from programs of division and fear. The action comes from a self love that naturally radiates a deep joy to everything around us.  Much love, Christine Link to our show page for more info and all episodes; https://www.artthatmoves.ca/podcasts/

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Andrew Alan Buhman, author of the book Nick Grayson: The Truth in the Lies. Andrew grew up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula within a Fundamental Baptist family, attending a private Christian school and later a renowned Bible college in South Carolina. At five, Andrew embraced faith in Christ, and at ten, inspired by a fiery summer camp sermon, devoted his life to missionary work. After college, he pursued that dream, marrying in the Philippines and eventually planting a church in Southern California. However, the pandemic marked a turning point.   Witnessing the church's response during this time led to a profound spiritual awakening and a transition from Christianity to an eclectic, Taoist-inspired spirituality. This journey of faith, disillusionment, and redemption deeply influenced Nick Grayson: The Truth in the Lies. The complex characters and morally ambiguous world—rooted in themes of voodoo, Catholicism, and personal struggle—are a reflection of Andrew's own search for truth in a shifting spiritual landscape.   In my book review, I stated Nick Grayson: The Truth in the Lies is detective mystery/thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat. Set in New Orleans, this novel takes us into the seedy side of town with voodoo, drugs, and corruption.   Nick Grayson, though a present-day private investigator, looks and acts like a throwback to an earlier time. His office desk sports a rotary phone, he wear a fedora and trench coat, and he calls the women in his life 'doll.' His secretary is just the opposite, using modern technology and listening to hip hop. Together, they make an unbeatable team. However, the case they take on begins to unravel their trust and could cost them their lives.   Despite doing his job well, Nick's life is a mess. He drinks too much, he's a womanizer, and he has ghosts from his past that keep him from moving forward. And that is what makes him so endearing. His flaws make him real and keep the reading hoping for a good outcome. If you like fast-paced books with gritty characters, then you will love Nick Grayson: The Truth in the Lies.   Content note: There are some rather detailed sex scenes.

On this week's episode, there were two things that ignited hope for me this past week. One was the championing of ordinary people by the new mayor of NYC, Zohran Mamdani. Witnessing a leader with compassion, courage and integrity stirred in me some much needed hope.The other was how powerfully the black voters came through, once again, to ensure most of the blue wins across the country. As Kieth Boykin points out "Black voters show up for policies that help every body: affordable housing, lower utility bills, jobs, justice and democracy itself!"  Hope is ignited in me when we speak up against hatred, violence and corruption! When we take a stand for decency, respect and honoring the constitution. May we unite in justice, in truth, and in joy. May we come together to empower the marginalized. May we continue to ignite hope. And may we find creative ways to keep that hope alive!  Enjoy the podcast!
