Master of Puppets. In this episode, we continue our exploration of the Bondage of the Will, with Gerhard Forde's book, The Captivation of the Will. We discuss the human will — what it is, what it does, what it wants — and why we are compelled to insist that we have free choice. We also talk about the two paths: one, the path of forgiveness, and the other, the way of morality. Why do we default to morality in matters of choice, and why is the preaching of God's grace over against morality so offensive to Christians who confess that our knowledge of good and bad is a direct consequence of the original sin in the garden? We also talk about drunkenness, women's ordination, the offense of irresistible grace, and what the Holy Spirit is up to amidst the disruption that occurs when he sends his preachers to declare an end to the illusion of free choice and reveal his death sentence to bound wills.

Sometimes all we can say is "Lord , have mercy, Christ have mercy. Jeremiah could see what was happening, and was serving God by warning everyone. God understands and is our only hope. Still, it hurts to see the pain of sin and it's consequences, and we can relate. Lord have mercy on us. Rebekah Caggegi sings "So You Cry".

Matt D spent the better part of a decade in an obsession that took him to some very dark places. Fueled by alcohol and drugs, he determined to find evidence of his wife's infidelity, driving himself insane in the process.Through the principles he learned in S-Anon, specifically with the help of a growing and thriving group of men in the program, he learned that although his wife's disease was a problem, it wasn't HIS problem--that his serenity was contingent upon the remission of his own chronic disease.He worked the steps aggressively, and within three months, he was surprised to discovere he was living the life that he'd always prayed God would give him.Now, four years into the program, he can say, without reservation, that his wife's sexaholism is the best thing that has happened to him.Reco12 is an open-to-all addictions and afflictions organization, dedicated to exploring the common threads of the differing manifestations of alcoholism; sharing tools, and offering hope from those walking a similar path.

Send us a fun message...But if you want a response contact us at SwingerUniversity.comWhy does a piece of chocolate trigger the same brain chemical as meeting someone new at a swinger party?This episode reveals the surprising neuroscience behind New Relationship Energy, dopamine addiction, and why the swinging lifestyle can feel impossible to walk away from. Ed and Phoebe break down the science of pleasure—from that 55% dopamine spike you get from chocolate to the 1000% surge from harder substances—and explain why novelty in the lifestyle hijacks your brain's reward system exactly like a drug.In this episode of Swinger University, we explore the powerful connection between dopamine, addiction, and ethical non-monogamy, discussing why NRE feels so intoxicating, how constant stimulation affects your mental health, and practical strategies for maintaining balance in the lifestyle. Whether you're new to the swinging lifestyle, experienced in ethical non-monogamy, or simply curious about the brain chemistry behind attraction and novelty-seeking, this conversation will help you understand what's really happening in your head when you can't stop thinking about that new connection.What You'll Learn in This Episode:The exact dopamine percentages: chocolate (55%), sex (100%), nicotine (150%), cocaine (225%), and amphetamines (1000%)Why New Relationship Energy creates thoughts and feelings you can't control—and how long it typically lastsThe "pleasure paradox": how constant dopamine hits from social media, food, and the lifestyle create chronic deficit statesReal stories of NRE intensity, FOMO at swinger events, and why some people need breaks from the lifestyleHow novelty, secrecy, quantity, and access all amplify your brain's reward responsePractical strategies for seeking balance: recognizing addiction patterns, pacing yourself, and knowing when to step backWhy comparison is killing your enjoyment and how to focus on your own experience

What if the ways we keep getting stuck in relationships aren't just bad habits, but the natural outworking of how we're wired to bond—and to protect ourselves from pain? In this episode of Typology, I sit down with psychologist and couples counselor Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby (a freshly discovered Seven with an Eight wing) to talk about the intersection of attachment, addiction to love, and the Enneagram. We explore why love itself can feel addictive, how that longing for connection sometimes binds us to the wrong person or pattern, and why recovery communities often work—they help us reattach to what's good, true, and life-giving. Along the way we dig into common Enneagram pairings, the myth of perfect compatibility, and the real gift of learning to honor differences, see blind spots, and practice repair. If you've ever wondered why you tend to chase, withdraw, fix, or move on too quickly—and how to love with more courage and steadiness—you'll find this conversation both practical and deeply hopeful.   ABOUT DR. LISA MARIE BOBBY Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby is a licensed marriage and family therapist, psychologist, board certified coach and author of Exaholics: Breaking Your Addiction to an Ex Love.  She is the founder of Growing Self Counseling and Coaching, an internationally recognized practice focused on love, happiness, and success.

⚠️ WARNING: This episode will challenge everything you think you know about health. “Obesity kills more people worldwide every year than car crashes, terrorism, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and malnutrition combined.” In this eye-opening episode of Start Today, I bring you Dr. Saman Soleymani—a no-BS physician and entrepreneur running over a dozen practices—who exposes how Big Pharma and Big Food profit from disease while ignoring the #1 factor that could save your life: nutrition. From the obesity epidemic to GLP-1 drugs, testosterone, antidepressants, and birth control, Dr. Soleymani rips the lid off the lies that are killing people every single day. We uncover why waist size is the ultimate death predictor, how visceral fat destroys men's hormones, why SSRIs don't cure depression, the promising science of psilocybin, and the dangerous side effects of hormonal birth control that no one talks about. No fluff. No sugarcoating. Just the truth you need if you want to take back control of your body, your health, and your future.

In this Think Thursday episode, Molly explores why the brain doesn't experience minutes the way the clock does. Our perception of time is not fixed—it stretches and compresses depending on novelty, memory, attention, and emotion. That's why childhood summers feel endless while adulthood years can seem to vanish.Molly unpacks the psychology and neuroscience of time perception, including how prospective and retrospective time work, why novelty sharpens attention and stretches moments, and how emotions like fear, boredom, and joy distort our sense of time. She also shares fascinating phenomena like the “stopped clock illusion” and highlights how mindfulness can expand our sense of presence and create richer memories, making life feel fuller and more meaningful.What You'll Learn in This Episode:The difference between prospective time and retrospective timeWhy childhood feels longer than adulthoodHow novelty, memory, and dopamine influence time perceptionHow emotions like stress, boredom, and joy distort our experience of timeWhy mindfulness slows down prospective time and lengthens retrospective memorySimple practices to stretch brain time and savor everyday momentsKey Quote:“Clock time is rigid—sixty minutes is always sixty minutes. But brain time is elastic. Two people can live the same number of years yet experience them very differently depending on how much novelty, presence, and emotion they build into their days.”References and Resources:Eagleman, D.

Elena Huggins, author of Untwist Me: Uncomplicated Life Hacks for Mental and Emotional Liberation shares her personal journey of faith, trauma, and healing, emphasizing the importance of understanding the difference between being healed and being free. Our conversation delves into the complexities of trauma, the significance of processing emotions, and the role of Scripture in finding peace and clarity.

In this episode, Holly sits down with her longtime friend, artist and creative Jared Ryan Shaw. Jared and Holly grew up together in Wayne, NJ (07470 YOU KNOW!!), and every time they talk it feels like stepping into a time capsule — from middle school memories to their love of Saved by the Bell. They get into separation anxiety, addiction, and the loss of Jared's father, and how creativity has woven in and out of his journey with grief. Through it all, Jared has remained unapologetically himself. It's an honest, funny, and deeply real conversation between two friends who've shared over 30 years of history.Connect with Jared on Insta Jared Ryan Shaw Original Artwork Gary Shaw 

Is ADHD really a brain disorder or a label created to sell drugs? Dr. Roger McFillin speaks with filmmaker Roman Wyden, founder of the ADHD Is Over movement- that includes a book, podcast and upcoming documentary.  Roman shares why he rejected the ADHD label for his son and what he uncovered about the system behind it: schools, pharma, and psychiatry pushing parents toward pills. Together they expose how 6 million children in America are prescribed stimulants like Adderall and Ritalin, the billion-dollar ADHD industry that profits from it, and why more parents are waking up and saying: ADHD is over.ADHD is OVER Website Visit Center for Integrated Behavioral HealthDr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here

Welcome to Real Food Recovery, a podcast created by two lifelong processed food addicts with over 100 years of addiction (and recovery) between them. Paige Alexander and Jamie Morgan Reno use their Real Food Recovery podcast and social media channels to share their struggles, lessons learned, tools, tips, and resources that freed them from decades of food addiction, obsession, and loss.     This episode is a deeply personal one for both of us, as we discuss what happens when family dynamics intersect with food recovery. What do you do when someone in your family activates a wound—and all you want is the thing you swore you'd stop turning to for comfort? Whether it's your mom, your sibling, or even a parent you don't enjoy being around—these emotional hits can send us straight back into food noise, cravings, or numbing. Today, we're going to explore how to respond without reacting, protect our peace, and maintain our integrity.   In every Real Food Recovery episode, Paige and Jamie take time to answer viewer questions about processed food addiction, obsession, and recovery. Be sure to submit yours on their YouTube Channel or Facebook Page. You can also follow Real Food Recovery on Instagram (@realfoodrecovery4u), TikTok (@realfoodrecovery), or at www.realfoodrecovery4u.com.

Michelle starts by naming the experience so many listeners know well: the panicky, out-of-control feeling around “forbidden” foods that seems to prove you're an addict. She traces where that story came from—the early 2000s brain-scan headlines—and why “lights up the reward pathways” doesn't equal addiction (music, hugs, laughter, and puppy greetings light them up, too). From there, she walks through what the evidence does show:Dopamine ≠ addiction: Dopamine is about motivation and learning (“That was satisfying; remember that”), not proof of a hijacked brain. Drug-induced dopamine spikes are extreme and rewiring; food-related responses are moderate and self-limiting.What the rat studies actually found: Binge-like behavior appears when access to sugar is restricted and then reintroduced; with free access, intake levels out. In humans, dieting and moralizing foods replicate this deprivation-binge pattern.Addiction criteria don't fit food: Medical addiction involves tolerance, withdrawal syndromes, persistent use despite harm, and inability to cut down. Systematic reviews report that foods don't meet those criteria. Food is also essential—abstinence-based models don't translate.Michelle then maps the very human reasons it feels like addiction:Restriction & deprivation (physical and mental) create scarcity, obsession, and urgency.Emotional reliance on food as a primary coping tool can look compulsive—but it's coping, not character failure.Learned urgency/“last-supper” eating when a food is allowed only during a “slip.”She also names the harm of the addiction label: added shame, escalation to stricter restriction (which worsens the cycle), and attention pulled away from the real drivers—diet mentality, unmet needs, and nervous-system dysregulation.From there, the episode offers a compassionate, evidence-aligned path forward:Lift the ban with unconditional permission to eat (expect an initial “pendulum swing”; it settles as scarcity fades).Practice food neutrality (take the moral charge out of foods).Pursue satisfaction so you can actually register “enough.”Support your nervous system (capacity first; choice follows).Add coping tools beyond food (connection, creativity, movement, rest).Reframe the story: from “I'm addicted” to “Restriction is making me feel out of control; my body is protecting me.”Stay ConnectedIf this episode helped, follow/subscribe so you don't miss the rest of the series.

Dans cet épisode, je reçois Anna Roy. Anna grandit dans une famille très aimante mais ou l'exigence envers les études est particulièrement élevée. Assez tôt, elle se passionne pour les naissances et souhaite devenir sage-femme, un métier qui la mettra au cœur de la vie des femmes et des bébés et qui lui fera cotoyer aussi bien les joies comme les drames de la vie. Au fil des années, Anna développe différentes casquettes: elle devient chroniqueuse dans l'émission Les Maternelles, autrice de plusieurs ouvrages, crée un podcast, le tout, en exerçant toujours son métier de sage-femme et en devenant mère de deux enfants. Mais derrière ce parcours riche et exposé, Anna traverse aussi des épreuves personnelles. Dans son livre Énorme (Ed Larousse) elle raconte son combat contre l'obésité, conséquence de traumatismes profonds – deux viols, des fausses couches, le deuil de son père – et d'un rapport à la vie très intense. Pendant près de dix ans, elle prend près de 60 kilos, jusqu'au jour où une discussion brutale mais salvatrice avec son amie Agathe Lecaron lui sert de déclic. Elle entame alors une transformation radicale, perd 40 kilos, et retrouve peu à peu une identité qu'elle pensait avoir perdue. Dans cet épisode, Anna nous parle sans détour de ce cheminement intime et courageux, de son rapport au corps, de son ambition, de son métier de sage-femme et du constat qu'elle tire des milliers de femmes et de mères qu'elle a rencontrées. De la suite aussi Un témoignage sincère, puissant et inspirant d'une femme qui ose raconter ses fragilités autant que ses forces que nous avons enregistré chez Maison123.

Dopamine. Serotonin. Endorphins. We have all heard these terms. And they shape our lives in many ways. From wine and coffee to opioids and party drugs, almost all of us use some chemicals to manipulate our lived experience. Brain chemistry shapes our self-image, too: few are those who have never wondered if their brain chemicals are "just off balance". So how accurate are the popular theories about these mythic molecules? To guide us through the topic, I'm joined by Judy Grisel—an ex-addict and a world-leading neuroscientist of addiction. We will discuss all the main elements of brain chemistry by using drugs and addictions as a window into the chemicals that flavour all of our lives. Towards the end, we also search for ways to better help those who struggle with addiction. As always, we finish with my guest's reflection on humanity.

Come heal out loud with Bryan and Marie as they sit down with Cody Jackson Sims—aka Jackson the Barber—for a powerful conversation about redemption, resilience, and generational healing. From battling addiction and homelessness to becoming the owner of the very barbershop he once visited as a child, Jackson shares his raw journey of transformation. He opens up about his father's struggles with alcohol, the echoes of trauma, and the deep similarities that shaped their bond. This episode is a testament to recovery, legacy, and the power of purpose.Email: Everydaysasaturday365@yaoo.comCache Coffee- https://cachecoffeeandmore.com/affiliate/82/

Obesity is often seen as a matter of willpower, but science tells a different story. My guest today, Dr. David Kessler—former FDA commissioner, lawyer, physician, and the man who took on Big Tobacco—explains why biology, not blame, drives our struggles with weight. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, we talk about why weight struggles are so common today, what new drugs can and can't do, and how his new FDA petition targets one of the biggest culprits: processed refined carbs. Catch the full conversation on YouTube, or listen wherever you get your podcasts. [YOUTUBE THUMBNAIL] You'll learn: • How food companies use ingredients like processed refined carbs to make products irresistible • Why GLP-1 drugs help many lose weight—but can't fix the food environment driving the crisis • How belly fat fuels heart disease, diabetes, and cancer—and why ultraprocessed foods are a big part of the problem • Simple ways to break free from foods engineered to make you overeat • What Dr. Kessler's FDA petition could mean for limiting processed carbs in our food supply and improving our collective health Plus, here's a bonus: We've adapted Dr. Kelsser's petition into a free PDF guide—The Hard Truth About Processed Carbs—so you can see exactly how these ingredients affect your health…and why his FDA petition REALLY matters. Tune in, download the guide, and find out how you can be part of the solution.
