Dr. Nii Addy, professor, researcher: Neurobiology of addiction Apr 12, 2023

Show notes

Addiction has a pervasive impact on our culture, ranging from legally available opioids and alcohol to illicit narcotics; addiction even manifests itself in mundane areas of our lives as well.

The challenge to overcome and conquer addiction can seem overwhelming to those held captive by it. And it is too often the case that relapse is experienced as an all-encompassing failure. In this episode of Working with Dan Doriani, Dan talks with Dr. Nii Addy, a professor at Yale and an expert in the neurobiology of addiction. On a hopeful note, Dr. Addy argues that relapse is but one step along the way to success; in fact, repeated attempts are the greatest indicator of success in breaking addiction. Listen as Dan and Nii discuss our brain's role in addiction, recovery, and the healing power of prayer.

Listen to Dr. Addy’s podcast Addy Hour.

Dave Jump, Entrepreneur: Redemptive Stewardship Jun 15, 2022

Show notes

Dave Jump, President of American Milling, is an entrepreneur with a reputation for nurturing successful businesses. Though Dave primarily works, very successfully, to transfer grain up and down the Mississippi River, his eye for business and heart for his workers has made him successful at most things he’s set his hand to—from his revitalization of St. Louis’s beloved City Museum to the emergency production of much needed ventilators during the Covid-19 pandemic. Through his creativity, hard work and dignifying care for and compensation of his employees, Dave is an excellent model for what it looks like to use your God given talents, treasure, and position for the glory of God and good of neighbor.

Tom Nelson, President of MTF: Work that Flourishes Jun 01, 2022

Show notes

Our guest on this episode is Tom Nelson. The subject of faith and work is very near and dear to Tom's heart. He is president of the faith and work organization Made to Flourish, a pastor, and the author of several books including: “Work Matters”, “The Economics of Neighborly Love”, and, most recently, “The Flourishing Pastor”. In this episode Tom and Dan discuss the world of faith and work, and Tom's profound, lifelong commitment to bridging, what he calls, the Sunday to Monday gap. Tom’s most recent book, the flourishing pastor, offers a framework for ministry leaders to get out from the crushing burden of stress and crisis. Whether you are are a pastor yourself or simply a faithful believer ministering to a weary world through your daily work--issues of over commitment and burn out, along with the need for accountability and discipleship are nearly ubiquitous. Who are you leading? Who is leading you? As you listen, I invite you consider what flourishing leadership might look like in your life.
