Power of the Pivot Podcast051: Redefining Cannabis and Merging it with Jewish Humor: My Conversation with Tokin’ JewAs someone who prefers to smoke my buzz, I am not surprised by how mainstream it's becoming. Although still very much an uncomfortable or taboo subject, I would say that 90% of those in my inner sphere eat some dose of edible, have a favorite strain of Indica or Sativa, or even grow it.This week on the podcast, I sit down with the CEO of Tokin Jew, a full-fledged loud and proud stoner who has found a beautiful and humourous way to merge Judaism and Cannabis. We get candid about the stigma surrounding...2023-10-2651 min
Power of the Pivot Podcast048: How Relationships Shape Our Well-Being with Joleen Porcaro Duddy: The importance of community in AgingRelationships and friendships are rooted in my emotional state. They can easily affect how I feel or don’t feel. And because so many of mine have stood the test of time, I take them very seriously.It was both this article and my new position at OneTable that sparked this week's podcast episode. This quote, in particular, struck a chord with me:"Countless studies in the last several decades have revealed information about longevity that may surprise you: Social connections don't just improve your life emotionally, but physically and psychologically as well."Th...2023-10-0547 min

But intellectual maturity and coming to the table with people who think wildly different demands that we make an effort to understand that person, where they are coming from, and how they arrived at what they believe. Along the way, this pursuit of different perspect...2021-09-071h 02

One Table PodcastFaith & Therapy, feat. Kimtrese SlaughterThe past year has been marked by more than a global disease. It has also been filled by the very root meaning of the word: dis-ease, meaning 'a lack of ease' ...aka stress! We've all felt this stress in various forms and responded in various ways. And this begs the question: while our focus is often on disease and the physical side of our health, what about our mental, spiritual, and emotional health? In this episode we come to the table with Kimtrese Slaughter, a psychotherapist and founder of Hummingbird Counseling Services for Women. It's a timely conversation in...2021-07-271h 09One Table PodcastReactions: The Verdict, The Holiday, The TableJune was a month that wasn't without its momentous moments. From the Derick Chauvin trial sentencing to the first national celebration of Juneteenth, there were cultural events that provoked responses all around us. In a day and age when it's easy to adopt how we feel from a steady stream of social media and the news, we wanted to step away, hit pause from the hot takes, come together and reflect - how do we actually feel about these events personally? How should we feel about these events? Is there a right way? And when there...2021-07-1358 minOne Table PodcastCRTCritical Race Theory (CRT) is the controversy of the day it seems among many evangelical Christians. In this episode, we will discuss our understanding of CRT and share our thoughts on why we believe this secular theory (that is used to understand and explain the dynamics of racism in society) has become so controversial. Remember, don’t be a single source thinker! Take time to listen and learn from many points of view. Scripture will always be our true north. Scripture is infallible. But we are all most certainly fallible. So let’s li...2021-06-2959 minOne Table PodcastBible & BallotIf the past years have taught us anything, it’s that few things divide people like politics. In this episode, we wrestle with this tension in light of our call to be a unified Church. Should Christians abstain from politics when it so easily sparks division? Should we vote when the ballot feels like a choice between two evils? Are we ultimately wrestling with a moral dilemma, or do we as Christians have a Biblical prescription for how to vote in our two party system? While the four of us hold different perspectives and were divided on past votes, we...2021-06-1559 minOne Table PodcastKing & CountryFor some Americans, holidays like Memorial Day and Independence Day inspire feelings of pride and patriotism. For others they are reminders of this country’s past and present racial inequities and social injustices. In this episode, we grapple with how Christians should relate to their country in light of such feelings. Should we pledge allegiance to a country at all? Or should our allegiance be reserved for Christ’s kingdom only? Is there a difference between Christian patriotism and Christian nationalism? And if so, how do you define the line between the two? We don’t all come to the ta...2021-06-011h 01
