The Natural Man vs. The Eternal Self

We all know our spirits came to earth to inhabit a body but the union of those two is often one that creates dissonance and opposition since they have different roles to play. But as coach Michelle Keil will share, it is when we can reconcile the body and the spirit and help them both function well is when we can progress and move forward in the fastest way possible. Our spirits want to progress but our bodies want to keep us safe and so our spirits must learn how to help the body also want to progress.

Facing the Rising Flood Problem in America

Floods are the most common of all weather-related disasters in America. They cause more damage and kill more people than any other type of severe weather. Flood risk is rising all over the country—rainstorms are more intense and flash floods are happening more frequently. The communities facing the greatest risk in the coming decades are disproportionately poor and Black. But here’s the thing: damage from flooding is the most preventable of all natural disasters: moving to higher ground is a proven solution to flood damage. But a lot of factors, like money, history and human nature, make relocation complicated. On this podcast episode, we explore why flooding is such a challenging problem and how cities are adapting. A climate scientist explains how warmer temperatures increase extreme flood risk (it’s the atmospheric sponge effect!) We’ll learn why America’s approach to preventing flooding has backfired and how Tulsa, Oklahoma has bucked the trend – going from one of the most flood prone cities in the country to one of the most flood resistant. And the mayor of an historic town settled by recently freed Black people will explain why relocating out of the flood zone isn’t a simple choice.
