Send a question or comment via text message175 episodes in, we're finally talking about medication. This week we get into questions we hear constantly: if I take medication for my anxiety, does that mean I'm failing, or that I'll never really recover? Is medication cheating? Is it evil? Is there even an answer to these questions?We talk about why these questions don't even really hold up, why medication combined with therapy is genuinely the gold standard for treating some anxiety disorders, and why using meds to get to a place where you can do exposure work isn't cheating anyone. We also get into what "working" actually means, since everyone gets to define that differently, why informed consent conversations with your prescriber matter, and why the fear of taking a pill can become its own exposure. As always, we're sharing our own experiences and opinions here, not medical advice, so talk to your doctor or psychiatrist about your own treatment.Plus Did It Anyway wins, including a 30 year avoidance of a trail beaten with a 15 minute timer, and a first train ride in three and a half months.----Want to talk about this episode, interact with us, and communicate with others that are sharing your experience?

In Day 197, the final lesson of Orchot Tzaddikim, The Ways of the Righteous, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe brings the entire journey to its culmination. The author returns to the idea that the human being is an Olam Katan—a miniature world. The wonders of creation, both physical and spiritual, are reflected within the human being, and the soul itself reflects, in an infinitely limited way, attributes that point us toward the Creator. Just as the soul fills the body, sustains it, outlives it, sees without being seen, remains pure, and does not sleep, so Hashem fills, sustains, transcends, sees, and governs His universe.This realization should lead not to pride, but to humility, awe, gratitude, and responsibility. Rabbi Wolbe urges us to contemplate the extraordinary design of the human body—from our eyes and ears to our breath, bones, skin, and countless systems—and ask: Who gave me all of this? The more deeply we appreciate how much Hashem has invested in us, the more we understand that our lives carry purpose and obligation. Yirat Shamayim is not despair or fearfulness; it is the awareness that we have been entrusted with something extraordinarily precious.The entire book ultimately comes down to the words of Kohelet: “Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole of man.” After studying humility, arrogance, love, hatred, mercy, cruelty, happiness, jealousy, worry, repentance, Torah, and countless other middot, the final challenge is internal. It is no longer simply about how we appear to others, but about the private relationship between the individual and Hashem: Do I truly fear God? Is my relationship with Hashem where it should be? Inspiration must become action. Torah must change us.The conclusion takes on additional meaning as Rabbi Wolbe notes that the class coincides with his Hebrew birthday. He offers a heartfelt blessing to the TORCH community for health, happiness, gratitude, spiritual growth, and a genuine relationship with Hashem. He encourages each listener to view every new year of life as another opportunity to recommit to service, growth, and appreciation for the gift of another day.And, fittingly, the journey does not truly end. Rabbi Wolbe immediately opens Shaar HaBitachon, the Gate of Trust in God, from Chovot HaLevavot. The message is clear: when Torah learning concludes, we begin again. Bitachon means learning to release our illusion of control and place our reliance entirely in Hashem—like a child resting securely in the arms of a loving parent. The completion of Orchot Tzaddikim therefore becomes the beginning of the next spiritual journey._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on March 23, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on October 2, 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!

How many of us have worried a problem away? We spent hours wracked with anxiety, and that did it! Problem solved. No, not likely. Author Erma Bombeck famously said, “Worry is like a rocking chair: it gives you something to do but never gets you anywhere.” Well today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out that it’s actually possible to live a worry-free life. We’ll see where to focus our eyes instead. — Become a Harvest Partner today and join us in knowing God and making Him known through media and large-scale evangelism, our mission of over 30 years.

I've found that often times worry has to do with the fear of what could possibly happen. They haven't happened. We don't know if they will happen, but we fear it could happen. This internal stress causes anxiety, fear, and apprehension. Not only can it make us emotionally and mentally unwell, but it can also cause physical illness too. Is there a cure?Main Points:1. The dictionary defines worry as giving way to anxiety or unease: to allow one's mind to dwell on difficulties or trouble, whether actual or potential.2. So, is there an answer? Is there a cure for worry? Is Jesus' command to not worry about our lives possible? What can we do? 3. I believe the answer is found in worship. In fact, it's very hard to worry and worship at the same time. Worship reorients our focus. A shift is made. A transition happens in our thoughts and in our spirit. As we worship our savior, we focus on his greatness, his goodness, and his faithfulness. We begin to remember that he is in control and there is nothing he cannot do. Today's Scripture Verses:Matthew 6:25 - “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life."Matthew 6:25-26 - ““Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?”Matthew 6:27 - “Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?”Philippians 4:6-7 - “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group
Headlines about babies swallowing millions of plastic particles can make an ordinary bottle feed feel like a parenting mistake. So what does the research actually tell us?In this episode of Baby Tribe Shorts, Afif and Anne explore microplastics in baby bottles, silicone teats and milk storage bags. They revisit the Trinity College Dublin study behind many of the headlines, discuss why measuring particles is surprisingly complicated, and explain the distinction between detecting exposure and demonstrating harm.They also separate microplastics from BPA, consider the practical drawbacks of glass bottles, and discuss why concerns about plastic should never undermine established advice on sterilisation and formula preparation. Along the way, Afif loses patience with Instagram fearmongering, Anne recalls a toddler licking a shoe, and a disagreement over millimetres becomes surprisingly competitive.An episode about feeding choices, scientific uncertainty and helping parents make decisions without unnecessary guilt.

What if you simply stopped carrying the weight? The Bible doesn't tell you to manage your worries, carry them better, or learn how to live under the pressure. It tells you to CAST THEM ON GOD. In Day 3 of Worry Free Living, we're looking at Psalm 55:22 and 1 Peter 5:7 and learning what it actually means to release the weight of your worries, cares, anxieties, and burdens onto God.
Life is full of trouble, stress and worry. It seems inescapable. But Thursday on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out what the Bible says about living a worry-free life. Yes, it's possible to leave our worries and anxieties at the feet of Jesus. Support the show: https://harvest.org/resources/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Drop us a note about the podcast. Worry and envy are easy habits to pick up when the world feels like it's sliding off the rails, but they make terrible masters. We start with Psalm 37 and let it speak plainly: trust the Lord, do good, commit your work, and refuse the kind of anger that turns into harm. That thread of steady faith carries through everything else, from the way we talk to the way we lead our homes.Next we read marriage verses from 1 Corinthians 7 and get practical about responsibility, self-control, and the discipline of agreement. I use a Louis L'Amour passage to paint a picture of complementary work and the quiet strength of duty, then I push back on the idea that a marriage can thrive when nobody is expected to carry any weight. From there we zoom out to the church with 1 Corinthians 12 and 13: different gifts, one body, and love as the measuring stick. If our “right answers” don't produce patience, kindness, and humility, we're just making noise.We also talk about learning to control our tongues, because a lot of our trouble starts there. Then we shift into remembrance and civic reflection: a September 11 roll call, a Medal of Honor highlight, and a full reading of Abraham Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address, one of the clearest calls to charity and firmness our country has ever heard. I end with a hard question: what are we willing to risk, endure, or give up for God, for our families, and for the future?If this mattered to you, subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find it.#ChristianNation#AmericanHistory#DailyBible Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribeCountryside Book Serieshttps://www.amazon.com/Countryside-Book-J-T-Cope-IV-ebook/dp/B00MPIXOB2 America's Christian Heritage Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2622483

Worry comes for all of us: the diagnosis, the bills, the kid making choices we don't get a vote on anymore. But worry isn't our only option. Continuing our "Invitation to Joy" series in Philippians, this message looks at Philippians 4:6–7, written by Paul from a prison cell with his future uncertain. It offers three practical ways to find peace in anxious times: bring everything to God in honest, grateful prayer; step out of isolation and into community; and let Jesus stand guard over your heart and mind. You'll also hear how Jesus, our great high priest, understands exactly what you're carrying, and how His peace frees your hands to love the people around you.0:00 The Worries We Carry3:17 Paul's Joy from a Prison Cell (Philippians 4:6–7)5:51 Bring Everything to God with Honesty and Gratitude10:25 Anxiety Grows in Isolation13:42 A High Priest Who Understands (Hebrews 4:14–16)16:08 Let Jesus Guard Your Heart and Mind19:58 Freed Up to Love Others21:51 Closing PrayerPreached by Isaiah Gaines on September 27, 2026 at Local Vineyard Church.Watch the video and find more at https://localvineyard.church/messages/an-invitation-to-joy/a-peace-that-doesnt-make-senseSupport the showMade a decision to follow Jesus?

Send a question or comment via text messageExposure isn't about proving you can sit in traffic, go to the supermarket, or make it through dinner with a friend. This week we talk about what exposure is actually for: practicing being uncomfortable, on purpose, without trying to fix or manage the feeling once it shows up.We get into why the specific trigger, whether it's a bridge, a dentist's office, or a work presentation, barely matters compared to the discomfort underneath it, why reaching for certainty before you act keeps the cycle going, and why "I'm practicing with uncertainty" works better than trying to talk yourself into feeling safe first. We also talk about why sticking to the same few "safe" exposures can quietly become its own safety behavior, and why recovery is measured by what you still do, not by how anxious you feel doing it.Plus Did It Anyway wins, including a clogged toilet on a school camping trip and a first exposure that ended in a panic attack anyway.----Want to talk about this episode, interact with us, and communicate with others that are sharing your experience?

When something goes wrong, it's easy to assume we know what it means—and what will happen next. But what if the story you're telling yourself isn't actually true? In this episode of 10 Minutes to Less Suffering, discover how uncertainty can become a source of hope rather than fear. You'll learn how to stop letting anxiety and negative thinking write the future, stay open when life doesn't go as planned, and recognize that an unwanted moment doesn't determine what happens next. This episode is for anyone who is worrying about the future, facing an unexpected change, overthinking a difficult situation, or struggling with something they can't control. In just 10 minutes, you'll find a simple way to create more space between what is happening now and what you fear might happen next—so you can move forward with greater calm, clarity, and hope. You don't need to know how everything will turn out. Maybe there are possibilities you simply can't see yet. Lastly, you can also follow me on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

https://teachhoops.com/teachhoops-memberships/2000/ https://www.thechampionshipcoach.com/ When Your Tank Is Only 80% Full, Is It Time to Walk Away? Episode 2000: Coach Bill turns the microphone on Steve Collins for a conversation about 37 years on the sideline, three state titles, one 7 and 14 season, and what the game actually owes the kids who never become stars. For the 2000th episode of Coach Unplugged, the format flips. Coach Bill takes over the questions and Steve sits in the guest chair for the first time, fresh off a state finals run and the first fall in nearly four decades with no season to plan. They talk about what it felt like the moment it ended, the bus ride from La Crosse that turned a losing program around, and the price his family paid along the way. Stay to the end for a 2000th episode offer that only lives here in the show notes. IN THIS EPISODE 01:17 A milestone inside a milestone. First fall in 37 years with no season and no lesson plans. 02:13 How Coach Unplugged started. A YouTube idea with a friend, back when podcasting was actually hard. 04:33 "I felt full." The feeling after the final game, and why you want to leave the amusement park while you still want to ride. 06:35 The storybook ending. Up two at halftime on the eighth ranked team in the country, 27 and 3, and why a great taste makes walking away both easier and harder. 08:13 What retirement actually looks like. Family, travel, and four clinic dates this fall including Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Brooklyn. 09:32 Why start another basketball podcast? Nobody was talking to the coach in the trenches. The parent problems, the bus that never shows, the missing official 30 minutes before tip. 11:37 The 7 and 14 season. Sitting in a locker room in La Crosse saying "I don't think I can do this," as the only applicant for the job. 13:03 The roadmap from that bus ride. How two hours back to Madison became the plan for one of the best programs in the Midwest. 14:32 Find your circle and keep it close. The advice from his high school coach that produced two staffs in 30 years. 16:18 The resume. Three state championships, five runner up finishes, eleven state appearances, fourteen straight conference titles, twenty six consecutive winning seasons, and why none of it sounds real to him. 17:08 Micro goals. Don't get fired. Then have a winning season. Then beat the perennial power. Then contend. Then win it. 18:40 Out scouting everybody. Sending his mom to a game with a camera, VCRs in the basement until 2 a.m., and why that edge is gone now. 19:43 What does coaching owe the kids who never play in college? Roles, camaraderie, failing together, and the life lessons kids remember long after the Pythagorean theorem. 22:23 The two kinds of coaches who ask for help. The young ones who know they don't know, and the veterans still hunting for an edge. It's the middle group that stalls out. 23:35 The price. What the wins cost his wife, his parents, and his mother in law, and why both of his kids will tell you he never missed anything. 26:15 Rapid fire for the first year coach. Worry less about parents and more about players. Communicate, then over communicate. After a bad loss go exercise and do not watch film. Stop drilling for the sake of drilling. 28:37 How do you know you were successful? Strip away the banners and the wins and what's left is the connection with the players. 29:21 One sentence, if that's all a coach remembers. People first. 29:44 The second act. The Championship Coach fellowship, one on one calls, group calls, and coaches who have his actual cell number. 30:02 Building Hey Sammy. Bill on the app overload problem in youth sports, and a text based assistant that pulls in schedules, calendars, drive time, and weather with nothing to install. 32:04 The golden nugget, buried at the end on purpose.

"It's about the Jills and Joes, not the X's and O's." "When I was 27, I knew everything. I feel like I know less now than I did 30 years ago." "People first.
