What if the key to a full life isn't found in focusing on yourself—but in serving others? In this Best Moments episode, Ash and Ro explore Titus 3:14 and unpack the biblical call to live a life of service. Together, they discuss why serving isn't just about volunteering at church—it's about carrying the heart of Jesus into our everyday relationships, workplaces, families, and communities. Drawing on Jesus washing His disciples' feet, they reflect on what true humility looks like and how even small acts of kindness can have a powerful impact. Whether it's a phone call, a meal for a friend, or simply noticing someone's need, serving others often changes our hearts just as much as it helps the people around us. The most fulfilling life isn't found in constantly asking, "What do I need?" but in asking, "How can I show the love of Jesus to someone today?" If you've been feeling stretched, stuck, or searching for greater purpose, this conversation is a timely reminder that a life poured out for others is never an empty one. ❤️See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: January, 2019Weird Darkness moves from a 1950s Scottish vampire panic and centuries of mass hysteria through a Tennessee teenager's matricide, the vengeful Japanese snow demon Yuki-Onna, the bloodiest cabin in the Arizona desert, and a New York hermit who cooked the man he murdered.It opens on the evening of September 23, 1954, when hundreds of schoolchildren poured into the Southern Necropolis cemetery in the Gorbals district of Glasgow, Scotland, armed with sharpened stakes and knives to hunt a creature they called the vampire with iron teeth, blamed for abducting and killing two missing boys. Police could not clear the children from among the headstones, and only the rain finally drove them home, though the hunt resumed over the next two days. Although no children were actually missing, newspapers and Parliament blamed American horror comics such as Tales from the Crypt and The Vault of Horror, a panic that drew in Labour MP Alice Cullen and led to the 1955 Children and Young Persons (Harmful Publications) Act, while others traced the iron-toothed monster to the Book of Daniel or to the Glasgow Green bogeywoman Jenny Wee. From the Gorbals the episode widens into centuries of mass hysteria: the first recorded case on an Egyptian papyrus dated to 1990 BC, children in a 1676 Dutch orphanage who barked and crawled like dogs, the 1374 dancing plague known as choreomania that seized the German town of Aachen, the Swedish witch panic of 1664 to 1676 and its children flown to the devil's meadow of Blakula, and French convent nuns who meowed in unison until soldiers threatened them with rods. The same survey takes in the 1630 poisoning terror of Milan that sent the barber Mora to torture and execution, the 1771 Okage Mairi pilgrimage that drew five million Japanese to the Ise Grand Shrine of Amaterasu Omikami, Richard A. Locke's 1835 Great Moon Hoax describing winged bat-men called Vespertilio-homo in the New York Sun, the Salem witch trials of 1692 that hanged nineteen people after the slave Tituba's confession, and the Hammersmith ghost of 1804 that ended when Francis Smith shot the plasterer Thomas Millwood dead in the dark.From there the focus shifts to Sumner County, Tennessee, where on August 10, 2012, fifteen-year-old Zachary Davis killed his sleeping mother, Melanie, striking her nearly twenty times with a sledgehammer he had carried up from the basement, acting on what he believed was the voice of his dead father. His father, Chris, had died of ALS in 2007, after which Vanderbilt psychiatrist Dr. Bradley Freeman diagnosed the boy with schizophrenia and depression before Melanie pulled him out of therapy. After the killing Davis doused the family game room in whiskey and gasoline and set it ablaze to kill his sixteen-year-old brother Josh, who woke to a smoke alarm and escaped while Davis fled on foot and was found roughly ten miles away. He told investigators he felt nothing when he killed her, laughed during a televised interview with Dr. Phil McGraw as he described the weapon and the wet sound it made, and was sentenced to life in prison after Judge D. David Gay told him he had gone to the dark side, with parole possible only after fifty-one years.Next the episode crosses into Japanese folklore and Yuki-Onna, the Lady of the Snow, a vengeful Onryo spirit said to have begun as a pregnant woman left to freeze in a mountain storm and to return on snowy nights as a tall, pale figure with blue lips and long black hair who floats over the drifts without leaving footprints. Her most famous tale follows two woodcutters, the old Mosaku and the young Minokichi, who shelter in a mountain hut where Yuki-Onna breathes a killing cold over Mosaku but spares Minokichi on the condition that he never speak of her. Years later Minokichi marries a woman named Oyuki who never seems to age, and when he finally recounts his strange night in the hut, Oyuki reveals that she is the snow demon herself and vanishes, sparing his life only for the sake of their children.After that the episode turns to the desert of Cochise County, southwest of Tombstone, Arizona, where the ruined adobe Brunckow Cabin earned its reputation as the bloodiest cabin in Arizona through at least twenty-one deaths. The German miner Frederick Brunckow built it in 1858 to work a San Pedro silver claim and was murdered there by his own laborers, killed with a rock drill driven into his abdomen alongside the chemist John Moss and the miner James Williams. The owners who followed met similar ends: Milton Duffield, the first U.S. Marshal of Arizona Territory, was shot dead at the cabin by James T. Holmes during an eviction, N.M. Rogers was killed by Apaches, and five thieves who hid there gunned one another down in a quarrel over stolen loot. Ed Scheifelin used the cabin as a base camp in 1877 before he founded and named nearby Tombstone, and visitors today report an apparition that fades when approached and the phantom sound of mining machinery drifting through the ruins.The episode closes with Oscar Beckwith, a seventy-two-year-old hermit living in a squalid shack in Austerlitz, New York, who on January 10, 1882, killed his mining partner Simon Vanderkoek over a soured gold claim near Alford, Massachusetts, then dismembered and cooked the body. A neighbor named Harrison Calkins smelled burning flesh at the shack and was told Beckwith was only frying pork rinds, but he returned the next day to find the mutilated remains, a blood-stained axe, and charred bones in the stove. Beckwith fled to Canada and evaded capture until the detective J.B. Gildersleeve tracked him to Bracebridge, Ontario, in 1885, by which time rumor had branded him the Cannibal of Austerlitz. Six trials sent him to the gallows in Hudson, New York, on March 1, 1888, where at seventy-eight he became both the oldest man and the last person hanged in the state, struggling at the end of the rope for eighteen minutes before he died.

Text your thoughts and questions!Many women spend their lives carrying invisible responsibilities for their families without ever realizing how much energy, thought, and emotional labor those responsibilities require. Whether it's keeping the peace, anticipating needs, preserving family traditions, or caring for aging parents, daughters are often expected to do it all—and do it well. The challenge is that these expectations can become so ingrained that many women never stop to ask an important question: How much is enough?This week, in episode 318 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Allison Alford, communication scholar, researcher, and author of Good Daughtering: The Work You've Always Done, the Credit You've Never Gotten, and How to Finally Feel Like Enough. Allison shares insights from more than a decade of research on the often-unspoken role of adult daughters, exploring the invisible labor they perform, the societal expectations they carry, and how women can redefine what it means to be a "good enough" daughter.Dr. Allison M. Alford is a communication scholar, researcher, professor at Baylor University, and leading expert on the experience of adult daughters. Through years of interviews and research, she has examined the emotional, cognitive, logistical, and identity-based labor women perform within families. Her work helps daughters recognize their contributions, challenge unrealistic expectations, and create healthier, more sustainable relationships with their families and themselves.Key Takeaways:Daughtering is more than caregiving. It includes the ongoing emotional, cognitive, logistical, and identity work daughters perform to keep families connected and functioning.Much of a daughter's labor is invisible. While tasks like visits and phone calls are visible, the planning, worrying, emotional management, and family coordination often go unnoticed.Society places unique expectations on daughters. Women are often expected not only to care for family members but to do so willingly, skillfully, and without complaint.The mental load extends beyond remembering tasks. Daughters frequently anticipate problems, navigate family dynamics, and remove obstacles before anyone else notices them.Emotional labor has a real cost. Acting as the peacemaker, confidant, or emotional "thermostat" for a family can lead to exhaustion, overwhelm, and burnout.Birth order and family structure can influence daughtering experiences. Eldest daughters and only daughters often feel heightened responsibility, though every family dynamic is unique.You have agency to redefine your role. Even long-standing family patterns can be reassessed, and it's possible to establish healthier expectations and boundaries.Being a "B+ daughter" is enough. Striving for perfection isn't sustainable. Leaving room for your own needs, relationships, and well-being allows you to show up for your family without losing yourself in the process.The invisible work you do for your family matters. But so do your needs, your capacity, and your well-being. You don't have to earn your worth through endless giving. What would change if you allowed yourself to believe that you are already enough?Thank you for listening!

192. How's Your Daughtering? Dr. Allison Alford on Daughtering vs. Mothering, Not Giving Up Too Quickly, Education, and Faith Associate professor and author of Good Daughtering: The Work You've Always Done, the Credit You've Never Gotten, and How to Finally Feel Like Enough, Dr. Allison Alford talks about her American mother, Pamela, who became a family therapist after her daughters reached adolescence. Pamela taught Allison about the importance of education, leaning on faith for strength, and not being too quick to judge - because people can surprise you when you give them a chance. Allison also reflects on her research into the communication between mothers and daughters, the unspoken expectations society places on women, the ways women are often cast as mothers, and how the language we use to describe our relationships shapes the way we live our lives.
