Worship Coordinator Kristin Groene reflects on God's initiating love in Christ and calls us to mirror Jesus' teaching by loving even difficult people. She reminds us that as we abide in God, the Spirit grows the character needed to love well.

In this special bonus episode, Steve sits down with author and pastor Russ Levenson to talk about his brand-new book, Witness to Belief — a powerful collection of stories about celebrities such as Denzel Washington, Gary Sinise, Sam Waterson, Jim Nantz, Jane Goodall, and many more...... living out their extraordinary belief. Russ shares what inspired him to write it, how faith is revealed through real-life moments, and the lessons we can all take from those who quietly embody trust in God. Steve and Russ also revisit his earlier book, In God's Grip, which beautifully wove together Ben Hogan's Five Lessons with spiritual wisdom. Russ gives us an update on how that book continues to resonate with readers and how the sales have held strong since its release. Whether you're a golfer, a believer, or just someone who enjoys meaningful stories, this episode steps off the course for a deeper look at faith, inspiration, and the people who model both.

Lots of work to do—lets get to it—Here are 3 big things for this hour—   Number One— General Motors is about to get punished with a massive $1.6 Billion dollar hit—why? Because EV payments from the taxpayers are going away at the end of the year—that's why—and that is just the beginning—   Number Two— President Trump has announced another drug running boat has been blown out of the water—in America's new war against the drug cartels of Central and South America—   Number Three— They said he couldn't make a difference. They said President Trump would be stuck in gridlock, undone by Washington's red tape. 

When people find out you’re a Christian, they shouldn’t be surprised. The post Drunk Witness appeared first on Key Life.

In a world shadowed by tragedy, violence, and loss, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed by darkness. As our daily prayer and devotional remind us, when natural disasters, injustice, or senseless suffering fill the news, we can begin to wonder what difference one person can make. Yet Scripture reminds us that even in the darkest seasons, God’s people are called to shine His light. Sophia Bricker reflects on recent real-world tragedies like the flooding from Hurricane Helene, where devastation and hope existed side by side. Amid heartbreak, volunteers, ministries, and churches showed up—feeding, clothing, and comforting those in need. Their acts of love became living testimonies of God’s presence amid pain. Jesus calls us to be like lamps set on a hill (Matthew 5:16), shining brightly for all to see. Our faith is not meant to be hidden but lived out through compassionate action, forgiveness, and sacrificial love. When we live honorably among others—especially in times of crisis—we reveal the heart of our Savior. Even when the world mocks or misunderstands us, our lives can testify to the hope and peace found only in Christ. Being a witness amid the shadows means being willing to enter the hard places, to sit with the hurting, to forgive those who offend, and to love those who seem unlovable. This is how the light of Christ pushes back the darkness—through ordinary believers who let their faith shine through daily acts of obedience and grace. Today's Bible Verse: "Be careful to live properly among your unbelieving neighbors. Then even if they accuse you of doing wrong, they will see your honorable behavior, and they will give honor to God when he judges the world.” – 1 Peter 2:12, NLT Key Takeaways Our actions and attitudes can draw others to Christ, even when our words fall short. True light shines brightest in dark places—times of crisis often reveal God’s people at work. Living honorably and loving sacrificially are powerful testimonies of the gospel. Every good work and every act of compassion points back to Jesus, the Light of the World. Let’s Pray Together Lord of all, You see the brokenness and sorrow in our world. Thank You for sending Jesus, the Light who drives out all darkness. Help me to reflect Your love and compassion to others, even when it’s hard. Teach me to serve selflessly, to love deeply, and to walk in Your ways so that others might see You through my life. Let my light shine brightly for Your glory until the day You make all things new. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

1 Peter is a letter written to be shared with all Christians in the early years of the church in a time of great persecution. Peter walked with Jesus, learned from Jesus, and launched the movement of the church. This letter helps us find hope in the midst of suffering, inspiration to live distinctly as followers of Jesus, and find purpose when we are pushed on every side to give up or conform. This week, we explore 1 Peter 3:8-22 ESV and how Christians navigate suffering. Speaker: Paul Coogle Text: 1 Peter 3:8-22 ESV

Deeper: Witness | Mark Slomka

Federal prosecutors accused Jeffrey Epstein of witness tampering after discovering that he wired $350,000 to two potential witnesses or co-conspirators shortly after The Miami Herald published its 2018 exposé on his sweetheart plea deal. Prosecutors argued the timing of these payments showed a deliberate attempt to influence testimony or buy silence as new federal charges loomed. These revelations added weight to their claim that Epstein used his wealth and connections to manipulate the justice system and obstruct accountability for his sex crimes.Epstein's defense team requested that he be released on house arrest with an ankle monitor while awaiting trial, proposing that he remain confined to his $77 million Manhattan mansion. Federal prosecutors opposed the motion, pointing to the witness tampering payments as proof he posed a danger to witnesses and the judicial process. They also argued that his access to private jets and immense wealth made him an extreme flight risk. The judge ultimately sided with prosecutors, keeping Epstein in custody until his death a month later.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Witness the surprising turns of the early church's mission as Paul and Silas navigate divine guidance and unexpected detours. This message reveals how God's hand directs every step, from resolving doctrinal disputes to forbidding preaching in specific regions, all to fulfill His ultimate purpose.

"Witnesses, Not Experts," is a sermon by Dr. Bobby Allen that contrasts the roles of a religious expert versus a spiritual witness by asserting that the Christian mandate is based on personal experience rather than academic knowledge. The sermon emphasizes that Jesus called ordinary people to be witnesses, relying on the power of the Holy Spirit rather than human eloquence or credentials. According to the source, a witness speaks of what they have personally seen, heard, and felt concerning God's actions in their life, arguing that this testimony is a powerful weapon against the enemy's lies. The central purpose of this witness is to share their story globally, reaching from one's immediate community to the ends of the earth, thereby inspiring others and glorifying God. Ultimately, the message encourages believers to overcome fear and insecurity to testify to God's goodness without attempting to convince or debate.

The prosecution's narrative in the Kouri Richins murder case is suddenly on shaky ground. A bombshell affidavit just dropped: Robert Crozier—once billed as the key to the state's fentanyl chain theory—now says he never sold fentanyl to the housekeeper prosecutors claim passed it to Kouri. That breaks the chain. And when you consider that no fentanyl was ever recovered, and no forensic link directly ties Kouri to the drugs… the state's case starts to look a whole lot less certain. But is it fatal? Joining us is former prosecutor and seasoned defense attorney Eric Faddis to break it all down. We dive deep into the implications of this recantation, how it affects the admissibility of testimony from Lauber (the housekeeper), and whether the state can pivot its sourcing theory midstream without torpedoing its credibility. We also look at the 5x lethal dose tox report, the Valentine's Day sandwich allegation, the “Walk the Dog” jailhouse letter, suppression motions over seized notebooks and phones, and 11 terabytes of dumped discovery that may constitute its own Brady violation. This is no longer just about who gave who a pill. It's about whether the legal system is equipped to handle contradictions, missing evidence, and high public scrutiny without crumbling under the weight of its own complexity. Don't miss this legal autopsy of a case that could still go either way.

Before the congressional Secrets Task Force decided to call Dylan Borland to testify publicly at a hearing in September, another witness was slated to appear. In that same slot. Who is he? What was he prepared to say? And why did he suddenly decline to come forward? In this episode of WEAPONIZED, Jeremy and George track down the mystery witness and hear his story for the first time in public. This military veteran had a close-up view of a huge and astonishing craft as it sat hovering above a runway at Eglin Air Force Base, surrounded by other military personnel. Was it one of ours... or one of theirs? This witness was invited to tell his account to Congress during the September public hearing and was prepared to do so but had to decline for reasons that were not immediately clear. Now, he is revealing what he knows. GOT A TIP?

A major shock just hit the Kouri Richins murder case—and it's not coming from the defense. It's coming from the prosecution's own key witness, who now says he never sold fentanyl to anyone connected to Richins. That single statement might be enough to crack the entire case wide open. In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we dig into the explosive new affidavit from Robert Crozier, the alleged drug dealer the state claims supplied the fentanyl that killed Eric Richins. In newly filed court documents, Crozier swears under oath that he didn't sell fentanyl—he sold oxycodone. And that one change blows a hole straight through the state's carefully constructed narrative. The defense has now filed a motion to reconsider bail and another to compel evidence disclosure, claiming the prosecution knew about this change as far back as April 2025—and said nothing. If true, this isn't just a twist. It could be a Brady violation—a failure to turn over exculpatory evidence—which would shake the case at its core. We break down everything: the potential legal fallout, the impact on the upcoming February 2026 trial, and whether prosecutors can still prove murder without being able to trace the weapon—fentanyl—back to the accused. And with no physical pills, no forensic link, and a recanted witness, the state may now be walking into court with a theory that's missing its spine. Is this the beginning of the end for the prosecution's case against Kouri Richins? Or will the state fight back with new evidence to keep their narrative alive?

Emily Kircher-Morris talks with writer Amy Mackin, author of Henry's Classroom: A Special Education in American Motherhood, about her experiences navigating the special education system for her son, Henry. They discuss the challenges of accessing appropriate resources, the impact of social isolation, and how community support can make a huge difference. They talk about Amy's transition from public school to homeschooling, and the benefits of a more holistic approach to education that broadens the support group to include family and even medical professionals. TAKEAWAYS Early intervention is extremely important in special education. Community support is instrumental in educational advocacy. Social isolation is impactful for families with special needs children. A holistic approach to education can be transformative. Communication between medical and educational systems can be extremely beneficial. There can be a big financial toll on families navigating special education. Homeschooling can be an alternative educational path for some. Student voices should be included in the IEP process. Educational resources vary greatly based on the socioeconomic status of each school district.

Mark Arant teaches session 3 of Fall Conference.

Doug recounts a transformative visionary experience that occurred during a family RV trip to Colorado in 2020 or 2021. In Leadville, the highest city in the country at 10,000 feet, he ran ten miles and then consumed a powerful cannabis edible—his first time using cannabis in 10-15 years. Not knowing what he was doing, he ate an entire potent gummy, then smoked more weed, which launched him into an intense three-hour experience. The Descent into Hell Doug describes this period as "complete and total existential despair"—a literal descent into hell within his own psyche. He was bombarded with messages of worthlessness: "Abandon all hope, for there is none. The whole of you has always been false and a lie. You are nothing." This experience amplified his deepest insecurities, particularly around having kept his exploration of the Law of One material secret during the darkest seven-year period of his life (2013-2020). His imposter syndrome intensified to unbearable levels as he imagined his family discovering his perceived phoniness. He experienced such intense terror that he physically trembled and writhed, even contemplating that his family would be better off if he killed himself. Visually, he saw twisted, malformed, grotesque beings—viscera, lower chakra colors, volcanic orange fire, and a blackness that wasn't void but malice itself. He describes this as "dark light"—blackness inverted from void to malice rather than void to love. The Turning Point: Agency and Belonging At the lowest point, Doug received an internal nudge reminding him of cognitive behavioral principles: these thoughts and feelings were something he had created, not something creating him. He realized he'd always had a defense mechanism but now had to enact it at the deepest level ever. As he flew at 100 miles per hour over volcanic craters with demons pulling him down, he began repeating: "And you belong. And you belong. And I understand." He recognized these disintegrated parts—splintered through this lifetime and past lifetimes—as his own creations. Even negative external entities belonged because he is the creator. By saying "you belong," he cut the cords of shame and guilt. The arrows still hurt, but they no longer mounted one upon another or killed him—they bounced off. This awakened him to a greater truth that had been completely covered: he has agency. The word "Satan" means "the accuser"—the disintegrated energy level that accuses us of never having been whole. The Sacred Yes and Ascent Once Doug awakened to his agential self, he stopped being propelled by a force stronger than him. He declared his "sacred yes": "I desire to bring the light of wholeness. I desire to bring the light of Christ." For Doug, "Christ" represents the singularity of manifested wholeness—a code word invested with 2,000 years of human ritual and belief. Gold, the color of wholeness made manifest, became his experience. At this declaration, an explosion of golden luminosity occurred—a big bang bringing wholeness into the depths of hell within his psyche. He began blessing everything rather than being cursed by it. This shifted his energetic space, transporting him to a perspective higher than the hell realms. The Heaven Realms and the Great Realization Doug found himself in what he calls the heaven realms, surrounded by heavenly beings attentive to him. He belonged there and flew in the golden hue, bathed in hope after the funk of despair. When he looked down at the hell realms and saw the demonic beings looking up angrily, he didn't feel pure bliss. Instead, he felt what all the beings around him felt: the joy of wholeness simultaneously connected with great sadness that those below have, in a way, chosen to be miserable. The crucial insight: there was no line separating hell from heaven. The difference is that when one only desires disintegration, it doesn't occur to self that you have agency to transcend. From below, those in heaven appear as "other." From above, those in hell are seen as "us"—welcome to come up. The suffering Doug felt was the realization that the pain doesn't have to be this way, but we create our own hells—energetic vibrational streams of consciousness in the spectrum of separation. Integration: Metaphysical and Psychological Truth Doug emphasizes that while this was a visionary experience, it's metaphysically, archetypally, mythologically, and psychologically true. He connects it directly to his counseling work: when clients learn through courage to live in greater spaciousness and choose higher-grade responses instead of status quo reactions, they move from one frequency (perhaps hellish realms) into realms of integration and wholeness. It's all one reality, just described with different words. Good counselors, he argues, offer the "lore" of myths—these visionary experiences can be found in comic books, fantasy novels, or Revelations, but they're all words describing phenomenological, experiential facts. The key is dropping constricting worldviews by discovering your "sacred yes"—what Whitehead calls the "subjective aim." When you declare and articulate a sacred yes for the highest and greatest good, it becomes a focusing apparatus creating an orientation in time-space, a vortex of wholeness you can operate within. This awakening to agency and articulating what you truly want—"I want to bring the light of wholeness here"—can happen through mundane conversation, good counseling, or ayahuasca. The mechanism is the same: awakening to the sense of self, realizing agency exists, and declaring your sacred intention. Doug's Journey as the Archetypal Harrowing of Hell Mystical Christianity's Understanding of the Descent In mystical Christianity, the Harrowing of Hell refers to the "Vigil of the Heart of the Earth"—the liminal space between tragedy and triumph during Holy Saturday when Jesus descended into the heart of the earth to encounter the depths of separation and disintegration. According to Cynthia Bourgeault in The Wisdom Jesus, when Jesus entered the realms of the dead, he didn't fix, judge, or redeem hell itself. Instead, "he just sat there surrounded by the darkest, deepest, most alienated, most constricted states of pained consciousness; sitting, if we can imagine it, among all those mirroring faces of the collective false self... sitting there in the midst of blackness." His love went into the darkest and deepest places of darkness and reconnected the darkness to the whole. Bourgeault describes this as holding "all the boundary conditions of this realm (time, change, and circumstance) 'in and to love's embrace' and in such a way release duality... In that ultimate 'letting be,' he transformed them." The stillness of Holy Saturday represents Jesus' Spirit going "to the depths of the darkest realm of our consciousness, reconnecting our true self to his Spirit bringing his light to the dead. The Kingdom of God invaded and absorbed all sin brought forth from our ego and false self mirroring what it is (letting it be) and transforming it through his love." The Psychological and Inner Harrowing Mystical tradition understands that Christ's descent into Hell has an ongoing meaning relevant to daily spiritual life: "Christ is at all times poised to release that same love, to do to death the evil that is within us, now. This is the fuller and mystical meaning of the descent into Hell... It reminds us too of our responsibility to respond to the same love that destroyed the power of evil that once threatened to destroy Christ. What was done in him, will also be done in us." This is precisely what Doug experienced. His journey mirrors the four-part archetypal pattern he himself identifies: the descent into hell, the crucifixion (the terror and darkness), the harrowing (the work of recognition and integration), and the resurrection (the ascent into wholeness). Mary Magdalene as Witness and Model In Bourgeault's teaching "Through Holy Week with Mary Magdalene," she presents Mary as one who accompanies Jesus through the Paschal mystery, modeling "the transformed human heart bridging the finite and the infinite." Through Mary Magdalene's "witnessing and 'substituted love,' we come to understand how the human heart is the gateway to the transformational mystery." Mary Magdalene's presence and undying witness does not falter as she accompanies Jesus through his crucifixion, burial, and resurrection. Bourgeault emphasizes Mary's capacity "to not turn or run. To not run from our own pain, breaches, failings, and loss; and to not turn from that in others and in the world around us." This is exactly what Doug enacted in his hell realms. Like Mary at the tomb, he stayed present to the horror. He didn't flee or dissociate. Instead, he looked directly at the twisted beings and declared, "And you belong." This is the mystical witnessing that Bourgeault identifies as Mary Magdalene's gift to Christianity—the capacity to remain present to darkness without being consumed by it, to hold vigil at the threshold between death and life. Doug's Experience as Living Archetype Doug's journey perfectly enacts the Harrowing of Hell as understood in mystical Christianity: 1. The Descent into Disintegration: Like Christ descending to sit among "all those mirroring faces of the collective false self," Doug encountered his own splintered parts—the imposter, the liar, the fraud. These were the "anguish of Judas, the indecision of Pilate, the cowardice of Peter, the sanctimony of the Pharisees" within his own psyche. 2. Sitting with the Darkness: Rather than trying to fight, flee, or fix these demonic aspects, Doug learned to simply be present with them. Like Christ who "just sat there" in the blackness, Doug stopped running and began the work of recognition: "And you belong. And I understand." 3. The Reconnection Through Love: The essence of the Harrowing is that Christ's love "reconnected the darkness to the whole so that 'in Him all things hold together.'" Doug's declaration "I desire to bring the light of Christ and wholeness here" performed this exact function—reconnecting his disintegrated parts to the wholeness of his being. 4. The Transformation of Separation: The Harrowing asks: "Why is this creation here? Why did all this happen? And why are we in the midst of this?" The mystical answer: "I was a hidden treasure and I loved (longed) to be known so I created the worlds visible and invisible." The only way to be known is by taking the risk of loving. Doug's hell realms existed because separation exists—but his choice to love them ("you belong") rather than reject them enacted the cosmic pattern of reunification. 5. The Vigil at the Boundary: Like Mary Magdalene keeping watch at the tomb, Doug maintained consciousness at the boundary between death and life, hell and heaven. He didn't abandon himself in his darkest moment. This vigil—this sustained presence—is what allowed the resurrection to occur. 6. No Line Between Hell and Heaven: Doug's realization that "there was no line separating hell from heaven" reflects the mystical understanding that heaven and hell are not locations but states of consciousness. The early tradition used "Sheol" to describe "the place where those who had preceded Christ waited for his coming," not a place of eternal punishment but a realm of separation waiting for reconnection. The Sacred Yes as Resurrection Power Doug's "sacred yes"—"I desire to bring the light of wholeness here"—functions as the resurrection proclamation. In mystical Christianity, the Harrowing is not complete until the captives are led out. Doug didn't just sit with his demons; he blessed them and brought them into the light. This is the completion of the archetypal pattern: descent, recognition, embrace, transformation, and ascent. Bourgeault speaks of Mary Magdalene as embodying "surrender to the alchemy of transformation, the capacity to love and the willingness to remain, to stay—to not turn or run." Doug's journey demonstrates this exact alchemy. By remaining present to his hell, by declaring the belonging of all parts, by articulating his sacred intention, he enacted the Harrowing pattern within his own consciousness. This is why Doug's experience is not merely personal but archetypal and mythological. He lived out the pattern that Christ demonstrated, that Mary Magdalene witnessed, and that mystical Christianity has understood for two millennia: the way out of hell is not around it, but through it—by bringing love and consciousness to the darkest places within ourselves, we reconnect what has been severed and restore what has been lost. The counseling work Doug describes is simply helping others undertake their own personal Harrowing—descending into their disintegrated selves, learning to stay present without fleeing, discovering their agency, articulating their sacred yes, and allowing the light of wholeness to transform their inner landscape. Every therapeutic breakthrough is a small resurrection, every integration of shadow is a harrowing, every client who learns to respond rather than react is ascending from their personal hell into their heaven. This is the gift of mystical Christianity that Bourgeault has helped recover: the Harrowing of Hell is not merely a historical event that happened once, but an eternal pattern, a cosmic template that each person must enact within themselves to become whole.

Did the state just turn the case on its head? Defense claims the drug dealer who sold the middle woman the fentanyl that killed Eric Richins told prosecutors in April of this year that he didn't sell her fentanyl, but oxycodone. He claims he was detoxing when he made his original statement and was "out of it"Defense says the state did not inform them of this & has known for months.We break down the 2 affidavits by the witness/drug dealer, a new request for bond, and the defense wanting all communications the state has of any and all information from setting up the interview to summaries of the April meeting. The defense says now the state's entire case is in jeopardy because their case hinged on Kouri getting the fentanyl from the middle woman who in turn got it from the drug dealer.  ALL MERCH 10% off with code Sherlock10 at checkout  - NEW STYLES Donate: (Thank you for your support!
