In this compelling episode, Jean Dorff welcomes novelist and filmmaker KC Bailey to discuss her powerful film Revenge in Kind. This conversation dives deep into the impact of abuse and sexual violence, how revenge and forgiveness shape survivors' journeys, and the limitations of the justice system in confronting these issues. KC shares personal motivations for creating the film, her own experiences, and the healing power of creative outlets. The discussion is raw, honest, and empowering—true to the heart of The Empowering Story podcast. Key Points & Highlights KC Bailey's Insights Origin of "Revenge in Kind": The screenplay was sparked by KC's frustration with media narratives always casting women as victims; her husband challenged her to "write your own movie," inspiring a decade-long journey from discussion to film. Blurring the Line: KC explores a "blurred line" between victim and perpetrator; though the film's acts of revenge are fictional, the emotional core is drawn from real-life experiences—her own and those of people close to her. On Revenge: KC candidly admits she has not forgiven her own attackers, challenges traditional views on the effectiveness of revenge versus forgiveness, and asks whether revenge can offer victims catharsis (with a firm warning: there are consequences). Justice System Critique: She argues the justice system often fails victims, particularly when judged by men who may not understand a survivor's experience. Societal Breakdown: KC points to shifting social mores and behaviors—especially among younger men—reacting against women's empowerment, leading to hardened attitudes and, potentially, increased violence. Victim Identification & Punishment: KC advocates for tailored consequences for repeat offenders, including chemical castration for serial rapists, underscoring the imbalance between the victim's lifelong sentence and often minimal jail time for perpetrators. Education & Dialogue: KC sees education and open conversation as essential to shifting harmful behaviors and societal attitudes, and promotes teaching both young men and women about boundaries, consent, and the power of nuanced communication. Jean Dorff 's Contributions Personal Perspective: He brings his own story as a survivor, illuminating how survivors communicate and process trauma differently, challenging listeners to consider the neuroscience behind healing. Forgiveness vs. Revenge: He reflects on forgiveness as an alternative to revenge, acknowledging both as profound struggles for victims. Justice System Reality:  Notes flaws in how the justice system separates acts of violence from context, and shares interview insights—including female perspectives on justice. Society & Gender Dynamics: He discusses corporate environments shaped by masculine energy, calling for more balance and a deeper understanding of feminine strength. Victim-Blaming & Education: Stresses the importance of frank, direct education for young people—helping women and men alike understand the realities of consent, societal dangers, and how to protect themselves. Where to Watch the Movie Free (with ads): Filmzie streaming service Ad-free ($3.99): Apple, Google Play, Amazon (See show notes for direct links) Additional Resources Revenge in Kind DVD available for purchase.

Send us a textFrom London, England, Reverend Ben Cooper delivers a powerful and unshakable word answering one of the greatest questions of all time: What sets Christianity apart from every other belief system on earth?This message takes us into 2 Chronicles 15, showing how Israel's spiritual decline mirrors our modern world—nations adrift, abandoning God's truth, and embracing confusion. Yet the sermon goes further, taking us to the cross of Christ where Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea physically carried the body of Jesus and were covered in His blood. This vivid picture reveals the very essence of salvation: when we embrace the Word of God, we too are covered by the redeeming blood of Christ.Unlike every other religion, Christianity alone proclaims an empty tomb. While the world can point to the graves of founders long dead, Christians serve the living God who defeated death and reigns forever. The resurrection is not a side note—it is the cornerstone that changes everything.Biblical Foundation:“For a long time Israel was without the true God, without a priest to teach and without the law.” – 2 Chronicles 15:3“But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.” – 2 Chronicles 15:7“Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen!” – Luke 24:5–6“I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die.” – John 11:25Episode Highlights:Why Christianity stands alone among world religions.The prophetic parallel between 2 Chronicles 15 and our present age.The symbolism of Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea covered in Christ's blood.The archaeological and historical witness of the empty tomb.How the resurrection secures our eternal hope.Life Application: In a world filled with spiritual counterfeits and moral confusion, this message reminds us that our faith rests not in a philosophy, but in a risen Savior. Be encouraged that your work, your faith, and your perseverance are not in vain. Just as 2 Chronicles 15:7 declares, “Be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.” Because Jesus lives, you can face tomorrow with strength, courage, and confidence that your hope is secure.Call to Action: Support this listener-funded ministry and help us continue spreading hope through daily devotional messages.☕ Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/RBChristianRadio

Today's Daily Christian Prayer Podcast, recorded live in London, England, takes us directly into God's promises with Isaiah 31:5: “Like birds hovering overhead, the Lord Almighty will shield Jerusalem; he will shield it and deliver it, he will ‘pass over' it and will rescue it.” This prayer is not about politics—it is about people, protection, and God's divine covering in times of chaos.Reverend Ben Cooper leads a powerful five-minute intercession for the safety of Israel's people, the peace of Jerusalem, and protection across the Middle East.

Send us a textBeyond Religion: Finding True Salvation in Jesus – Unshakeable: A Daily Christian Devotional PodcastEpisode Description: What if everything you thought about church, salvation, and religion was turned upside down? In this devotional from London, England, Reverend Ben Cooper unpacks Psalm 91 to reveal a life-changing truth: you don't need church, you need Jesus.This message challenges the tendency to substitute religious performance for a genuine relationship with Christ. From the thief on the cross who entered paradise without rituals or sermons, to Jesus' words to Nicodemus about being “born again,” we uncover the radical reality that salvation is not about institutions but about heart transformation.Even as our bodies weaken, the soul remains eternal, “fearfully and wonderfully made.” Jesus Himself, “a man of sorrows,” understood pain, grief, and even mental anguish in Gethsemane—bringing hope to all who struggle with depression or anxiety.Psalm 91 reminds us that true peace and freedom are not found in religious checklists but in faith in the King of Kings. When we dwell in His presence, we discover divine refuge, strength, and hope for eternity.Biblical Foundation:Psalm 91:1–2 – “Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.”John 3:3 – “No one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”Luke 23:42–43 – “Today you will be with me in paradise.”Episode Highlights:Salvation is not religious ritual but personal faith in Jesus.The thief on the cross shows that grace, not performance, secures eternity.Our bodies fade, but our souls remain eternal.Jesus carried sorrow and grief, offering hope to those who suffer.Psalm 91 as a refuge of faith, hope, and peace in uncertain times.Life Application: Don't measure your faith by outward performance. Ask instead: Do I know Jesus personally? Salvation is not a system but a gift of grace that transforms your heart and brings peace in chaos.Call to Action: Support this listener-funded ministry and help us continue spreading hope through daily devotional messages.Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/RBChristianRadio Visit RB Christian Radio: https://www.RBChristianRadio.netWhere to Listen: Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, iHeartRadio, and more—bringing daily hope, prayer, and Scripture to believers worldwide.Support the showThank you for listening!

Send us a textWho Is Jesus Christ? – Unshakeable: A Daily Christian Devotional Podcast Who is Jesus Christ? This question lies at the very heart of Christianity, and yet many believers today find themselves challenged by competing religious claims that attempt to diminish His divine nature. In this powerful episode from London, England, Reverend Ben Cooper takes us deep into Scripture to uncover the biblical truth of Jesus as Creator, Saviour, and living God.Drawing from key passages in Hebrews, Colossians, and the Gospel of John, we see that Jesus is not a created being, but the Creator Himself—present at the beginning of time and instrumental in forming the universe. As John 1:3 declares, “Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made.” This unshakable truth sets Christianity apart from every other faith.Unlike the founders of other religions who remain in their tombs, Christ's grave stands empty. The historical reality of the resurrection validates Jesus' divine identity and authority in a way no other figure in history can claim. From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture reveals Him as “the image of the invisible God,” the eternal Word made flesh, and the One who reigns forever.This devotional is not about winning arguments—it's about knowing Christ personally. When we open God's Word and discover who Jesus truly is, we are moved to worship, not just debate. The Bible illuminates Christ, and Christ illuminates the path we are called to walk.Wherever you are in your faith journey, this episode will strengthen your understanding of Christ's divine nature and inspire you to seek Him more deeply through Scripture.

Send us a textIn this week's solo episode of Thrive Solo, I'm delving deep into the concept of manifestation. I'm sharing my own definition of manifestation, and highlighting its core components: energy, intention, focus, and aligned action. I'm also debunking some common misconceptions, as well as stressing the scientific underpinnings, such as the law of attraction, the law of vibration, and the observer effect. I'm giving you some practical advice on how to consciously manifest desired outcomes by shifting thoughts, focusing on positive energies, and taking decisive actions. Key takeaways include understanding the power of our thoughts and feelings, the importance of daily visualisation and meditation, and embodying the future self we aspire to be. I also encourage you to let go of the timing, and trust the process.00:00 Introduction: Embracing Singlehood02:20 Manifestation: The Basics08:01 Energy and Vibration18:46 The Science Behind Manifestation33:19 Practical Steps for Manifestation37:05 Conclusion and Call to Action Support the showPre-Order my book, SHINY HAPPY SINGLES (UK) / THRIVE SOLO (US & Canada) at: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/book Download my FREE PDF 'The Top 10 Answers To The Most Irritating Questions That Single People Get Asked On The Regular...& How To (Devilishly) Respond'?
