Send us Fan MailWelcome to The Zeepy Sleep Podcast, a calming bedtime story for kids designed to help children feel safe and settled, even when things feel a little different at night.In The Wrong Kind of Dark, Kip the Kitty finds a small hedgehog curled up in the café garden; not sleeping, just hiding. The hedgehog has wandered too far from its burrow, and now the dark doesn't feel right. The lights are too bright, the smells are too sweet, and the sounds are ones its ears don't know. Instead of telling the hedgehog not to worry, Kip sits beside it quietly, and then gently helps it discover that some things about the night are the same wherever you are. The same cool air. The same stars. The same gentle hush when the world settles down.This sleep story for kids explores a feeling many young children know well: the worry that comes when things around you don't match what you expect. Bedtime in a new room, a different bed, or even just a night that feels somehow "off." Rather than dismissing that worry, this episode shows children that their feelings make sense, and that comfort can be found rather than forced.
What does it actually mean to be a male disciple of Jesus? And why does so much of what gets called "biblical masculinity" look more like cultural bravado than anything Jesus modeled or taught? In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Kutter Callaway, associate professor of theology and psychology at Fuller Seminary and author of Theology for Psychology and Counseling, to dig into those questions. We talk through how we got here, because this didn't just appear out of nowhere. There's a history, a response to the feminist movement, the Promise Keepers era, and now a political and technological moment that's made a certain vision of masculinity almost impossible to avoid. The tragedy is that the answer to real male loneliness has been, in so many corners of the church, a kind of machismo that has very little to do with the Jesus of the Gospels. We get into how certain exegetes have tried to make Jesus a model of masculine strength in ways the text doesn't support, the structural inconsistencies in how the SBC has applied its ecclesiology, and why discipleship, not dominance, is the frame we actually need. Kutter's closing point, that we need to ask not "what's wrong with you" but "what happened to you," is something worth sitting with.

Intelligence Unshackled: a show for people with brains (a Brainjo Production)
Henry Mahncke is the CEO of Posit Science and the creator of BrainHQ, the most researched brain training platform in the world. A neuroscientist who did his PhD with Michael Merzenich, considered the father of adult brain plasticity, Henry has spent two decades translating brain plasticity science into tools that actually improve brain health. In this conversation, we dig into why most brain training criticism misses the point, what the largest clinical trials really show, and why the future of brain health looks a lot like the evolution of physical fitness. In this episode: 00:00 — Introduction and Henry's background (PhD with Merzenich at UCSF, McKinsey, founding Posit Science) 07:00 — Brain training vs. cognitive training: why the distinction matters 09:00 — Brain plasticity as the driver of brain health, and why cognitive reserve is really just brain health 13:00 — Maladaptive brain plasticity: how aging actively degrades information processing through negative plasticity 18:00 — How BrainHQ exercises are designed: adaptive speed and accuracy training from psychophysics 24:00 — The transfer and generalization debate: does brain training improve real-world function? 28:00 — Clinical trial evidence: the Mayo/USC RCT, the ACTIVE study, and 300+ published papers 34:00 — The pharmaceutical analogy: why asking "does brain training work?" is the wrong question 37:00 — Who is brain training for? From post-concussive disorder to Tom Brady 44:00 — Brain training as physical exercise: the case for everyone at every age 46:00 — Real-world brain plasticity activities: racquet sports, musical instruments, foreign languages 51:00 — Josh's Brainjo origin story and what music training does for the brain 55:00 — The loss of skill learning in modern life and education 58:00 — The "dark ages" of brain health and where the field is headed To submit a question for us to answer on the podcast, go to brainjo.academy/question.

“Don’t you realize that your bodies are actually parts of Christ? Should a man take his body, which is part of Christ, and join it to a prostitute? Never! And don’t you realize that if a man joins himself to a prostitute, he becomes one body with her? For the Scriptures say, ‘The two are united into one.’” (1 Corinthians 6:15–16 NLT) In this week’s devotions, we’re going to focus on passages from the apostle Paul’s first letter to the believers in Corinth. And we’re going to start with his words of wisdom to married couples in 1 Corinthians 6. Can you imagine what our culture would be like if we obeyed the single commandment, “You must not commit adultery” (Exodus 20:14 NLT)? Can you imagine how different our world would be? How many divorces would have been avoided? How many families would still be together? How many fathers would be home to raise their children? Many social ills can be traced to the breakdown of the family and specifically to the absence of the father in the home. And often marriages fall apart because of the sin of adultery—that is, sex with someone besides your spouse. God established marriage as a union and oneness between a man and a woman. Sex is not some toy that we play with to satisfy our desires. The Bible says, “Give honor to marriage, and remain faithful to one another in marriage. God will surely judge people who are immoral and those who commit adultery” (Hebrews 13:4 NLT). Yet that warning often falls on deaf ears. Some people try to excuse adultery by arguing that anything that happens between two consenting adults is okay. Or by pointing out that spouses aren’t always sexually compatible, which makes it necessary to go outside the marriage. Or by claiming that if no one else ever finds out, it’s a victimless crime. But the biblical reality is that when a man and a woman come together sexually, a oneness takes place. We are told in 1 Corinthians 6:15–16, “Don’t you realize that your bodies are actually parts of Christ? Should a man take his body, which is part of Christ, and join it to a prostitute? Never! And don’t you realize that if a man joins himself to a prostitute, he becomes one body with her? For the Scriptures say, ‘The two are united into one’” (NLT). Jesus identified the roots of adultery in His Sermon on the Mount. “You have heard the commandment that says, ‘You must not commit adultery.’ But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. So if your eye—even your good eye—causes you to lust, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell” (Matthew 5:27–29 NLT). Lust, left unchecked, can lead to adultery. That’s why it’s important to separate ourselves from people, scenarios, and settings that can trigger lust. As Jesus points out, no sacrifice is too great to preserve the unity of marriage.

How do you know if your wisdom is from God?James 3:13–18 gives a clear answer.This message breaks down:• The characteristics of earthly wisdom• The source behind false wisdom• The fruit it produces in your life• The marks of wisdom that comes from aboveHeavenly wisdom is:• Pure• Peaceable• Gentle• Full of mercy• Without hypocrisyAnd it produces a harvest of righteousness.
In the story of Zacchaeus, Jesus does something shocking. He chooses to sit at the table with the "wrong kind of people." Tax collectors, sinners, and outsiders were pushed to the margins, judged as unworthy, and forgotten. But when Jesus enters Zacchaeus' home, He isn't just sharing a meal—He's turning the world upside down. The Kingdom of God flips the social hierarchy. The people everyone else overlooks are the very people Jesus comes to seek and save. At His table, the outcast is welcomed, the forgotten are seen, and the marginalized discover they belong.
Working harder isn't the answer and working smarter isn't either. Working more precisely is. In this episode, Michelle unpacks what she actually means when she says "double down on your marketing," because spoiler: it has nothing to do with producing more content or logging more hours. It comes down to three inputs - your audiences, your message, and your trust transfers. And making each of them just a little bit better over time.

We live in a divided world where it's easy to label people and keep our distance. But Jesus does the opposite. In Luke 5, He sits down with the very people others rejected and shows us a better way. This message challenges us to stop seeing labels and start seeing people, to live with both truth and love, and to step across the lines we've been avoiding. Following Jesus isn't complicated, but it will cost us something.- See individuals, not labels. Stop reducing people to groups and start seeing them as image-bearers of God.- Practice holiness with love. Truth without love isn't Christlike, and love without truth isn't real love.- Cross boundaries intentionally. Build relationships, pursue people, and live on mission where you already are.Key Scriptures:Luke 5:27–39John 3:16–17James 3:9–10Following Jesus means more than agreeing with Him, it means living like Him. This week, take one step toward someone you might normally avoid. Build a bridge, start a conversation, and reflect the love and truth of Christ. If this message challenged you, share it with someone who needs to hear it.Bayou City Fellowship Cypress Campus | Keith Bower | March 15, 2026https://linktr.ee/bayoucityfellowship

Jessie Buckley is nominated for best actress at the Oscars this weekend, for her performance in the movie “Hamnet.” She plays the wife of William Shakespeare — and a grieving mother — as the couple confronts the loss of their only son. The role has already won her a Golden Globe, a BAFTA and an Actor Award. In a conversation on “The Sunday Daily,” The Times's chief movie critic, Manohla Dargis, said it would be a major upset if Buckley did not also win an Academy Award. Ahead of the ceremony, we're bringing you our conversation with Buckley from last year. “When I was filming ‘Hamnet,' I deeply wanted to become a mother,” Buckley said. “And it was such a gift to move through this woman and her motherhood and her love and her loss before I became a mother myself.” On this episode of “Modern Love,” Buckley describes how she was able to access the vulnerability she portrayed onscreen. And she talks about how her life has changed since having her own child. Plus, she reads the Modern Love essay “The Wrong Kind of Inheritance” by Victoria Dougherty.

A TikTok about learning Spanish through exposure therapy and humiliation got me thinking about business. Not in the way you think.Here's the thing: I know you're already uncomfortable. You're already pushing through, hustling, saying yes to clients, taking on projects, showing up. That's not your problem. That's actually the part that's going to burn you out.In this episode, I'm breaking down the difference between the wrong kind of uncomfortable (working harder, posting more, taking on more clients) and the RIGHT kind of uncomfortable, the kind that comes from changing the game completely.Because you're already doing hard things.

When Jesus set His face toward Jerusalem, He knew rejection was coming, but His zeal was fixed on redemption, not retaliation. Even when the Samaritans turned away His disciples, He didn't call down fire to destroy them as James and John wanted. Instead, He reminded them that His mission was to save lives, not end them. Our passion can become dangerous when it's misdirected. We must ask ourselves where we're channeling our zeal. Are we seeking vengeance against those who oppose us, or are we pursuing God's mission to reach the lost with the gospel?What you need to understand is that you and I were once lost too. We've all fallen short of God's glory, and without His intervention through Jesus Christ, we would face the same destruction we want to call down on our enemies. That's why our zeal must be redirected toward sharing the truth of salvation, not toward condemning those who disagree with us politically, religiously, or culturally. Jesus didn't come to destroy. He came to save. He came to seek and save the lost, and that same mission is yours now.

Today, we are talking about those unhelpful coping skills or behaviors we want to change. There is a payoff or "good" feeling that comes from using them. If we want to change we need to increase the awareness of how it feels before, during, and after we use the "wrong" skill or make the choice to use that behavior. It is helpful to be aware of how and why we use those skills. #copingskills #mentalhealth #makingchanges #unhelpful

There are a lot of discussions on Taiwan and its role in a potential conflict with China but quite often in these discussions, Taiwan actually is seen as a passive actor. We talk about a potential war between China and the U.S. over Taiwan - and overlook what role would Taiwan actually play - but its role and its decisions would be pretty fundamental. I wanted to explore it in more detail and so with John, we talk about how Taiwan is preparing for a war with China, why do people in Taiwan seem a lot less concerned about this than policymakers in the U.S., why is Taiwan criticized for not doing enough or for doing the wrong things or how likely is it that China could get Taiwan without actually needing to fight for it.

Today my guest is Arnold Cantu, a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist with experience in school social work, private practice, and community mental health. What made Arnold drop out of his doctoral program despite his passion for academic and clinical research, even as he became a published author well ahead of his classmates?Our conversation explores the challenging dynamics Arnold faced as a doctoral student who didn't perfectly align with certain ideological expectations, despite his progressive research interests critiquing the biomedical model of mental health. With seven years of clinical experience before entering his program in 2021, Arnold anticipated some political slant but was surprised by the extent of ideological conformity enforced.What pressures do students face when they don't enthusiastically embrace every aspect of critical social justice ideology? How thin is the line between education and indoctrination? What happens when a student defines "anti-oppressive" using a dictionary definition rather than approved academic literature?Arnold shares how he found himself under scrutiny not for being confrontational in class, but simply for not demonstrating sufficient enthusiasm for certain frameworks. Despite being a Mexican-American clinician focused on improving mental health services for immigrant communities, his approach wasn't considered progressive enough.The situation escalated when Arnold shared a link about academic freedom in a class survey, prompting professors to call meetings to discuss his values and commitment to social justice. He eventually withdrew in 2024 after what he describes as "one of the lowest years of my life," finding much greater happiness returning to clinical work.We discuss the paradox Arnold observed between an allegedly "anti-oppressive" framework that created an oppressive academic environment and the challenges of intellectual diversity in social work education. Despite leaving his program, Arnold has continued his scholarly work, publishing books and articles critiquing the medical model of mental health.This conversation raises important questions about the future of social work education, the tension between truth-seeking and political activism in academia, and whether students with diverse perspectives can thrive in programs with increasingly rigid ideological expectations.Look for a future episode where Arnold and I will dive deeper into his critique of the medical model and how certain "progressive" approaches to mental health may paradoxically reinforce oppressive frameworks.Arnoldo Cantú, LCSW is a clinical social worker and psychotherapist with experience in school social work, private practice, and currently working in community mental health seeing children, adolescents, families, and adults.

Theme From Sunday's Sermon: Trust and Forgiveness On this edition of One Single Story, Pastors Stephen Mizell, Jay Rivenbark, and Alyssa Bream discuss the following questions: As I was reading this passage, I was struck by the question that was asked by the Pharisees and the religious leaders which is recorded in verse 16. "Why does he eat with such scum?" The word "scum" surprised me. That sort of makes sense to me from the perspective of their culture. But what was the big deal about having a meal together? Do you think there are still people that our modern churches struggle to imagine having a place at the table? How can we celebrate sinners coming to Jesus today? Do you think modern churches do a good job of celebrating sinners coming to Jesus? The reading for the day is: Leviticus 4:1–5:19 Mark 2:13–3:6 Psalm 36:1-12 Proverbs 10:1-2
Why does it feel like no matter how much we do, it's never enough—Including—and especially—in our mothering? It's no wonder we feel this way! Societal changes have created a culture that ties worth to performance, often at the expense of our health and happiness, while macroeconomic trends that have shifted the way we think about work, education, and success, making it entirely focussed on external standards of achievement. In this thought-provoking episode, I sit down with Jennifer Wallace, journalist and author of Never Enough, to dive into the toxic achievement culture that's shaping our lives—and the lives of our kids.Together, we explore how this relentless pursuit of external success is leaving us exhausted, disconnected, and questioning our self-worth. We also dig into what really matters—connection, purpose, and a sense of belonging—and how we can reclaim these values for ourselves and our families.Join us as we go deep into our own personal journeys as women and moms, and along the way talk about: The Cost of Toxic Achievement: Macroeconomic trends—like rising inequality, job instability, and the increasing cost of living—are amplifying the push to achieve at any cost. But the evidence is clear: more external success doesn't lead to happier or healthier lives.What We've Lost: The modern obsession with productivity has left less time for the things that truly nourish us—community, hobbies, connection, and learning for its own sake.The Power of Mattering: Kids thrive when they feel valued for who they are, not what they accomplish. And it's up to us as parents to model that sense of worth by healing our own relationship with achievement—including feeling that the our kids' success is a measure of our own worth, from where they were born to how long they breastfed to what schools they go to and who they are as adults. Healing Generational Wounds: Unexamined beliefs and "ghosts" from our own upbringing often push us toward extrinsic measures of success. By addressing these wounds, we can break the cycle and redefine what matters for ourselves and our kids.Reclaiming What Matters: Research shows that relationships—not status or money—are the strongest predictors of happiness, fulfillment, and resilience. We explore practical ways to prioritize relationships, joy, and intrinsic fulfillment over endless striving and external rewards.If you're ready to let go of the pressure to achieve and embrace a more meaningful, connected life, this episode is for you. Share it with a friend who might need the reminder that they're already enough, and let's start a movement toward true fulfillment—together.This episode is a compassionate call to reevaluate what really matters. The relentless push for more isn't the path to happiness, for ourselves, or for our kiddos. Instead, it's connection, purpose, and a sense of belonging that truly nourish us.
