We live in a loud world that's getting louder. We encounter noise all around us—from the chatter of polite conversations, to street noise in a big city, to the constant intrusion of the dings of notifications. But what is all of this noise doing to us, and what does it mean to find quiet in the midst of it? In fact, what is silence, anyway? How can it affect our minds, our bodies, and our relationships?

En esta tercera hora de Días Extraños exploramos historias que desafían lo establecido: la misteriosa oleada de DROVNI (drones-OVNI) que paralizó Dinamarca y puso en jaque a la OTAN, sin que nadie pudiera identificarlos o derribarlos; la comunidad Amish como "grupo de control" perfecto de un experimento social que cuestiona nuestro modelo de vida tecnofeudalista; y una de las operaciones de guerra psicológica más retorcidas de la CIA, cuando Edward Lansdale utilizó la leyenda filipina del Aswang, un vampiro cambiante, para derrotar a la guerrilla comunista sin disparar un solo tiro. Además, nos preguntamos si podría haber existido una civilización de dinosaurios inteligentes hace millones de años... y por qué jamás lo sabríamos.

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Jason Nies, proprietor of the renowned Inn at Honey Run, and LaVern Hershberger, Vice President of Homestead Furniture. This week's show takes us to the heart of Ohio's Amish country, where we dive into a truly unique partnership: The Inn at Honey Run's iconic Club Level Honeycombs—rooms built into the hillside—are set for a major redesign with Homestead Furniture leading the transformation. Jason and LaVern share the story of how their professional paths crossed through local tourism efforts, their shared mission to honor the area's heritage while staying relevant, and how their businesses are making an impact far beyond their own walls by referring guests to one another. What You Will Learn in This Episode: Why both companies are focused on staying relevant to new generations of customers while remaining true to their roots and values What makes Homestead Furniture stand out in the Amish furniture industry How the redesign of the Inn at Honey Run's Club Level Honeycomb rooms will offer guests twelve distinct themed experiences to appeal to diverse visitor preferences Why community collaboration and participating in local tourism committees have been a catalyst for business innovation and personal connection in Holmes County How tourism and destination marketing directly impact both the resort and furniture business, creating a full-circle relationship where each refers customers to the other and enhances the local economy LaVern and Jason's advice on making partnerships work, including the importance of aligned values and trust in each other's expertise Staying Relevant in a Changing Landscape Both the Inn at Honey Run and Homestead Furniture have deep roots in their community—Jason as the inn's third owner and LaVern as part of Homestead's third generation. But remaining core to your brand while evolving to meet modern tastes is a challenge. By integrating contemporary designs and offering full customization, Homestead ensures their craftsmanship appeals to both long-standing customers and a new, design-savvy generation. Jason describes The Inn at Honey Run as “not an Amish country experience” in the traditional sense, but rather “an affordable luxury getaway” located in natural beauty, complete with unique hillside Honeycomb rooms, an award-winning restaurant, and an open-air art museum. By continuously refining the inn's offerings, Jason is setting a new standard for rural luxury and authenticity. A Vision for Diverse, Immersive Stays At the heart of this collaboration is the Honeycomb Homecoming project, a complete reimagining of The Inn at Honey Run's signature Honeycombs—earth-sheltered suites built into a hillside and renowned for privacy and natural immersion. What makes this project groundbreaking is its approach to guest experience. Each of the 12 Honeycomb rooms will be uniquely themed, offering distinctive moods, decor, and even scents to transform the atmosphere. Thanks to the partnership with Homestead, guests will soon be able to choose their ideal ambiance, whether rustic, coastal, mid-century, or traditional, along with the highest level of Amish craftsmanship. Creating a Destination, Not Just a Stay The connection between The Inn at Honey Run and Homestead Furniture extends beyond their immediate partnership. Both Jason and LaVern are actively involved in local tourism development, serving on the chamber's tourism committee to promote Holmes County while preserving authentic Amish culture. Their partnership reinforces Holmes County's status as a top tourist destination in Ohio, attracting visitors eager to escape city life and immerse themselves in natural beauty. The collaboration is full circle; visitors drawn by Homestead's reputation for quality design are guided to stay at the inn, while hotel guests experience Homestead's work firsthand, perhaps inspiring a furniture investment of their own.

I'm still somewhat in shock. I NEVER thought I'd hear America's most powerful leaders acknowledge what mothers of autistic children have known for years—the autism epidemic has nothing to do with genes and EVERYTHING to do with toxic and pharmaceutical exposures.Including vaccines.And yes, in the press conference, Trump initially mentioned Tylenol and the fact that taking it during pregnancy leads to an increased risk of a future diagnosis of autism for the baby.But, right after that, Trump brought up vaccines stating that autism is virtually nonexistent in some communities where children don't get them.He looked to Bobby for confirmation and Bobby agreed that yes, several studies suggest this to be true in communities like the Amish, for example.I was THRILLED to hear the top health official in the US utter this truth! Finally, the moms of autistic children are vindicated. Finally, pediatricians won't be able to gaslight them anymore. Finally, “believe all women” applies to them!I invited our favorite dissident psychiatric nurse, Dave Wayne, to share his take on the press conference. Will we actually start preventing autism? Can we treat it with leucovorin as Dr. Makary asserts? And, how will these announcements impact the future of MAHA and the medical freedom movement?Join us for a lively discussion on all things autism, junk medical research, and, of course, Big Pharma!Dr. Karin & Pastor Elliott AndersonWebsite: http://loveandlifemedia.com/Empowered Dating Playbook: smarturl.it/EmpoweredDatingBookInstagram: @dr.karin | @pastorelliottanderson
Show Notes:In this thoughtful episode of The Human Experience, host Jennifer Peterkin visits John (Jonathan Heaslet) at his North Carolina home to reflect on a remarkable life of service, transformation, and storytelling. John shares his early years growing up near San Francisco, his studies in mathematics and economics, and his first career as a health economist before answering the call to ministry. He recounts candid experiences from serving as a pastor in rural Ohio—including supporting an AIDS patient at a time of deep stigma and navigating the complex truths within Amish communities. The conversation explores themes of vulnerability, empathy, inclusion, and the challenge of fostering change in diverse American communities. Now retired, John reflects on his transition into writing and creative pursuits, bringing the same compassion and curiosity that guided his ministry into his fiction. ⚠️ Content Warning: This episode contains discussions of illness, community exclusion, and sensitive cultural topics. Listener discretion is advised. Key Takeaways:● Vulnerability and courage are central to authentic storytelling.● John’s personal journey spans health economics, military service, and pastoral ministry.● Rural and urban communities offer stark cultural contrasts that shape ministry and daily life.● Ministry required navigating inclusion, compassion, and difficult truths.● He shares experiences supporting marginalized individuals, including an AIDS patient.● Religious and societal systems impact personal safety, autonomy, and belonging.● Secrets within communities can carry heavy consequences, both individually and collectively.● Empathy and community resilience are vital in creating more inclusive spaces.● Retirement opened a new chapter for John—writing fiction inspired by lived experiences. Interview recorded in Charlotte, NC. Jonathan Heaslet’s Bio:Jonathan (John) Heaslet is a retired Army Captain, health economist, and ordained minister.

It may seem weird, but my favorite way to read Amish fiction is with mystery or suspense added. I think I like the juxtaposition of the "simple, quiet" life and the upheaval. Listen in to my chat with Shelley Shepard Gray about her newest book, Unshaken. note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you. There are so many questions about the Amish, their ways of life, and their differences from us and from each other. We talked about the differences between people, sure, but we also looked at how the Amish look for the ways people are similar to them etc. Of course, we also talked about the Rumors in Ross County series and how her newest book connects. Unshaken by Shelley Shepard Gray He helps her hide until danger has passed. She hopes her cover lasts long enough. When Stephanie Miller planned her visit to a dollar store in southern Ohio, she was expecting to pick up a few items she couldn't find in her Amish community. She was not expecting to find herself an innocent bystander as a drug deal went horribly wrong. The sole witness to a murder, now Stephanie is targeted by the gunman. Hardy Anderson is always ready to help his social worker sister, Bev--which now includes hiding an Amish woman until a killer can be brought to justice. Surely if they dress her in English clothing, Hardy can hide her at the sprawling ranch where he works. But the killer is desperate--and there's no telling what lengths he will go.

Send us fan responses! The veil between what we think we know about America and the legal reality of the United States Corporation is thinner than most realize. Don Kalam peels back this veil with precision and clarity, offering listeners a roadmap to understanding their true legal position and the opportunities that come with this knowledge.At the heart of this eye-opening discussion lies a fundamental distinction: America is the land, the republic; the United States is a legally defined federal corporation (28 USC 3002(15)(A)). This isn't semantic wordplay—it's a crucial legal framework that determines how we interact with government, commerce, and wealth creation. When Donald Trump says "Make America Great Again," he's specifically referencing the republic, not the corporation—a distinction with profound implications.Your state represents your true nation or country, which explains terms like "nationality." Don Kalam draws fascinating parallels between tribal affiliations in countries like Kenya (with over 40 distinct tribes) and private communities in America. The Amish, religious groups, and various organizations function essentially as tribes with their own governance structures. This tribal understanding is key to recognizing how private life operates parallel to the public system.The birth certificate—printed on security paper similar to car titles—represents your entry into a commercial jurisdiction. By using social security numbers and birth certificates as identity in commerce, most Americans unknowingly pledge their labor against the national debt. When you die with assets tied to your social security number, everything must pass through probate, with the government taking its cut first.The alternative? Operating through private trusts, unincorporated associations, and other private structures that allow you to function outside many codes and statutes. Article 1, Section 10 of the Constitution guarantees your right to contract—the foundation of private law that enables communities from the Amish to various religious groups to maintain their independence from government regulation.Ready to reclaim your financial sovereignty and create true generational wealth?

In this week's Hot Topic of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott tackle the shocking claim made by Donald Trump linking paracetamol (Tylenol) to autism.With humour, rage, and razor-sharp critique, they dismantle the dangerous rhetoric, exposing how misinformation from political leaders fuels stigma, fear, and ableism against autistic and ADHD communities. From debunking pseudoscience to unpacking why terms like “suffering from autism” dehumanise neurodivergent people, this is one of the most important conversations the show has ever hosted.Together, Jordan and Simon discuss:Why Trump's Tylenol-autism claim is scientifically baseless and politically motivatedThe harm of framing autism as an “epidemic” or “disease”How myths about the Amish and Cubans not being autistic are rooted in underreporting, not realityWhy dangerous rhetoric reduces autistic lives to something “worse than death”The role of correlation vs. causation in autism research and why facts matterHow conspiracy-style politics distract from real issues like healthcare, disability rights, and educationWhether you're autistic, ADHD, neurodivergent, or care about truth in public discourse, this fiery episode blends sharp advocacy, science, and satire to call out misinformation at the highest levels of power.Our Sponsors:
ON Episode 83 of the Joey Show comedian Joey Avery breaks down the Trump administration's war on Tylenol, autism, and the Amish. We dive deep into the Make America Healthy Again, aka MAHA movement and where it all goes wrong for podcast science. Plus, the Charlie Kirk celebration, reaction to Jimmy Kimmel's return monologue and an explanation of why Joey was on TV in DC and now has a goatee. And some CLIPS.
Donald Trump has had as bad a week as any he's had. The difference that made it stand out was that he looks increasingly unhinged. It was not the UN speech. That was classic Trump – a lot of made-up stuff and grandiose pomposity. It sort of wasn't the visas, given at its core it's also classic Trump. They want Americans hired, not immigrants, which is on brand. Chaotic, but on brand. It wasn't even Jimmy Kimmel. Celebrating the demise of someone is a sad trait but, once again, on brand, even though Kimmel is back and Trump's stance on free speech looks decidedly mad or non-existent. The real turn of events was the war and Tylenol. For a bloke who was sorting Putin out on day one, and who told Zelenskyy he didn't have any cards, the about-face seems astonishing, if not worrying. The pivot hands the problem to NATO and the EU, but what was he thinking taking it on in the first place? Putin has schooled him, spanked him, and humiliated him. He has that, as yet, unexplained hold over him that no one can understand. Then we come to autism. In watching the heavily touted announcement, the one we had been waiting for for 20 years, he didn't seem to have a clue as to what he was talking about. The Amish were raised, the ingredient was mispronounced and stumbled over, and as a result pretty much anyone in health globally called it a pile of nonsensical rubbish. The basis of Trumpism is making America great again – there are too many migrants, too many bad trade deals, and an economy that isn't performing up to scratch. All of that is understandable and it's what got the votes. Yes, there was a chaotic, comedic, braggadocios style to it all. But at its base, if you were of a certain disposition, it kind of made sense, and you can't argue against the electoral success. But as the months have unfolded, it's gotten madder and more unhinged and wandered off into areas of extreme improvisation. It all culminated this week in complete humiliation over the war and a pronouncement in an area, i.e. health, that he clearly has zero experience and expertise in, and clearly has listened too much to his nutty friend with the odd voice. Disagreeing with his policy approach is politics, but being seen as a global clown undermines his reputation and that of the entire country. And that's where he took it this week.

On the PBD Podcast, Trump's warning about Tylenol use during pregnancy sparks a firestorm. The panel debates CNN's coverage, Tylenol's pushback, autism rates, Amish and Cuban studies, and whether Big Pharma faces lawsuits as new research questions decades of medical consensus.

Take the stress out of tracking inventory with QR code labels! Once upon a time, a woman named Scarlett was ostracized from her Amish community for being the girl who cried wolf, or more specifically, coyote. Years ago, no one believed her when she witnessed her father killed by a coyote in the woods of Unity, ME. However, when the predatory beast returns Scarlett will stop at nothing to make sure this threat is taken care of. But this time, she has someone on her side – the handsome widower next door, Jacob. So when Jacob, more or less, is like, “Scarlett, what great fearlessness you have,” she's all, “The better to get vengeance with.” And soon Scarlett's story of redemption may just end with happily ever after.

Welcome to the second installment of our Spinal Tap series. This time I'm speaking with Abby Travis, Chas West, and David Hakopyan. Due to a personal obligation, I had to record this differently than I normally do. I was in the middle of Amish country in PA and I used Zoom for the entire show. Somehow, it became the busiest place on the planet, but only while I was recording. I also discovered that Zoom gave me a lisp. Anyway, we discuss each person's involvement in the Spinal Tap project and why they chose the songs they covered and David reveals the unfortunately abandoned take involving Sir Mix-A-Lot. Chas talks about wanting to rev up his track, Abby had a specific artist in mind when recording hers, and David had his idea turned down a step by John Dolmayan of System Of A Down. We also talk about personal Spinal Tap experiences and Abby tells her epic story for the final time! So you don't want to miss that!

Are you READY to unlock the mysteries of one of the world's most private communities? Forget everything you think you know about the Amish! We're diving deep behind the bonnets and beards to expose 10 jaw-dropping secrets that will leave you absolutely speechless!
A Sermon for the Feast of St. Matthew St. Matthew 9:9-13 and 2 Corinthians 4:1-6 by William Klock “As Jesus was leaving that place, he saw a man called Matthew sitting in the toll booth.” I expect that Matthew was just itching to get to this part of the story as he wrote his gospel account. It's nine chapters in, roughly a third of the way. But he knew that the Gospel is about Jesus, not Matthew. Still, he was excited to tell people how he had met Jesus. Up to this point, Matthew's been telling us about walking around Galilee preaching good news and doing all the Messiah things that made the good news real and tangible to people. He's been across the Sea of Galilee where he cast a multitude of demons out of a man and now he's back and on his way home to Capernaum. And that's how he meets Matthew. Matthew's a tax- or a toll-collector and here he is, sitting in his tollbooth next to the road. I suppose there must have been some kind of gate. Matthew would get up from his stool, go out to the road, and collect the toll from everyone going from Point A to Point B and from Point B to Point A. And everyone who went by grudgingly handed over their money. And they grumbled. And probably not a few people had some choice words for Matthew. Because everybody hated tax collectors. I was racking my brain this week trying to think of an example from our world that would explain just how much people hated tax-collectors and why and it's hard to think of a modern equivalent. That was a different world. No one likes a tax-collector, because no one likes paying taxes. But in First Century Judaea there was way more to it than just people not liking paying taxes. The local Roman government decided how much they would need to run things and then they'd farm the collection of taxes out to the highest bidder. And, of course, the tax collectors had to make a living themselves, so they'd pad their collection. But they weren't just getting by. Tax collectors were notorious for using their position to enrich themselves. And the local council or governor didn't care just so long as they got their cut of the revenue. It was bad enough and common enough that when the rabbis wrote about tax collectors, they typically lumped them together with thieves. And it only made it worse when the tax collectors were working for the Romans. We don't know if Matthew was working directly for the Romans or for some local Galilean authority, but at the end of the day it didn't really matter. At some level the Romans were in charge of it all and tax collectors were thieves doing their dirty work. But there's more to it than that. We think of Matthew, padding his toll collecting and getting rich by stealing from people whom he's got over a barrel and we think he's a pretty rotten guy. That's an awful thing to do. That's a scummy way to make your money. But for the Jews there was another layer, something deeper to what made it so horrible, what made them hate someone like Matthew so much. Let me try to explain. So, if you or I hear about a thief—or maybe a crooked tax collector skimming off the top—we just think, “That's a bad person”. If we found out that this thief had been baptised and grew up going to church and Sunday school, we'd think something like, “I guess he forgot everything he was taught as a kid.” Maybe if it came out he was an active warden or elder or deacon in his church, then we might start to think about what he'd done as a betrayal not just of his faith, but of us all. Here's a guy who professed faith in Jesus, but betrayed that faith by doing something really sinful. And maybe that gets us closer to how Matthew's fellow Jews would have thought about him. Because Matthew was circumcised. Matthew was part of the covenant community. Matthew was marked out as one of the Lord's people. And Matthew knew their story. Matthew knew all about the Lord and how he had delivered his ancestors from Egypt. Matthew knew all the great things the Lord had done in the centuries that followed. We can kind of excuse some people today. We all know people who were baptised, but they were never really taught the faith, their parents never really took them to church, now they're grown up and say they're an atheist, and the sinful lifestyle they live kind of makes sense in light of all that. But that wasn't Matthew. That wasn't anyone in Israel. Everyone knew what it meant to be God's people. There were no atheists. They all knew that God hates sin. They knew what it meant to be the people who lived with God in their midst. They knew that you had not only to be holy to enter God's temple, but that you also had to be pure. That's what set them apart from the pagans. Matthew knew all of this. Even if he he'd had rotten parenting, everything and everyone around him would have reinforced all of this. And he rejected it. Maybe he chose this life on his own. Maybe he inherited the job from his father who inherited it from his father. That probably would have made it easier. But whatever the case Matthew chose to live a life in apposition to everything his family, his people, and his nation stood for and he chose to do it right in the midst of them. Imagine an Amish boy who decides he doesn't want to be Amish anymore. Usually they leave and go to live in the outside world, but imagine this Amish kid decided to stay in his close-knit Amish town, but he struts around in fancy clothes, whips around town in his Porsche, and throws wild parties with loud music at his house on the weekends. And everyone would be horrified at him. That's Matthew, a tax-collector in Israel. But it gets worse. Or at least I think it does. Not everyone would agree with me on this part. Mark and Luke, in their Gospels, refer to Matthew by the name of “Levi”. Christian tradition has mostly understood Matthew and Levi to be the same person, but to make this connection is not without its difficulties. One of those difficulties is that it was pretty rare for a Jewish person to have two Aramaic names. A Jewish name and Greek name? Like Saul of Tarsus who is also known as Paul: that's common. But usually if someone with an Aramaic name has a second Aramaic name, it's because their given name is common, like John or Judas or Joshua, and the second name—maybe the name of his father—distinguishes him from other guys with the same name. But neither Matthew nor Levi were common names. No one was likely to confuse this Matthew with another Matthew. But the one instance in which we see men with two Aramaic names is when they come from prominent families. It wasn't uncommon for these men to be known by their family names. And I think that's what has happened with Matthew. Mark and Luke remember him as “Levi”—his family name—but Matthew went by his given name. Because the family name Levi mean that they were a Levitical family. And this made things all the worse for Matthew. The tribe of Levi were the priestly family. They were the ones who served in the temple. They were the ones who acted as mediators between the Lord and his people. Israel was a holy people, but the Levites were a holy tribe within that holy people. Consider that one of the duties of the Levites was the collection of taxes. They collected the tithes of Israel. Those tithes were their livelihood. And they collected the temple tax, to pay for the upkeep of the Lord's house. But Matthew had become a tax collector of another kind, not one dependent on the Lord and the faithfulness of his people, but a man who fleeced God's people in collusion with the pagans. Brothers and Sisters, that was Matthew sitting in his toll-booth. A wealthy traitor not only to the Lord, but to his people and to his family and to his calling and despised by everyone. I fully expect there were days when Matthew longed to get out of the mess he was in. In theory he could have made everything right and returned to the Lord, but to do that he'd have had to make restitution. I don't think Matthew would have even known where to begin. And so he stayed in his toll-booth, he kept his riches, and he threw parties for other tax collectors and sinners—because they were the only people who would associate with him. And every day he became a little bit more dead inside. And then, this day, along came Jesus. Matthew knew perfectly well who Jesus was. Everyone in Galilee was talking about Jesus. If nothing else, Matthew would have heard about his miracles, but I expect he'd heard about his preaching, too. Maybe Matthew had even stood at a distance a time or two in Capernaum to hear Jesus preach. Matthew knew that in Jesus the God of Israel was doing something. But Matthew stayed at a distance. Because Matthew knew he was a traitor to his God and to his people and to his covenant. As attractive as Jesus and his message were, it was not for someone like Matthew. Brothers and Sisters, how many people around us feel just like that? They're sinners. They feel the weight of it and would love for it to be gone. They've got some vague knowledge of Jesus. But they'd never come to church. A coworker once said to me, “Church is for holy people, not for people like me.” They see no way out. And now Matthew sees Jesus approaching his gate. Maybe he thought, “This might be the Messiah. I should really cut him a break instead of ripping him off like I do everyone else.” And that's when, he writes in verse 9, Jesus “said to him, ‘Follow me.'” And he just says, “And he rose up and follow him.” I have to think there was at least a little bit more to it than that. But those words, “Follow me” were ultimately what did it for Matthew. No Pharisee, no scribe, no lawyer had ever come to Matthew and said, “Follow me, Brother. Let me help you get out of your sins.” They paid his extortionate toll, dropping their coin in the toll-box and being extra careful not to touch it or anything else that Matthew had touched. They sneered at him—if they looked at him at all—called him “traitor”, and went on their way. But this Jesus, this man in whom the God his fathers was so clearly at work doing something new, Jesus smiled and invited him to join in what he was doing. Brothers and Sisters, sometimes that's all it takes. Matthew had seen God's glory on display in Jesus, but he didn't think it was for him. He just needed to hear that, yes, in fact it was for him—for everyone, but especially for people like him. That was actually part of the new thing Jesus was doing. Without Jesus, reconciliation with is people was hopeless. He was a toll-collector. How could he ever make things right with everyone he'd ever stolen from? How could he even make a good faith effort? But in those words, “Follow me,” Jesus offered Matthew forgiveness. Jesus bypassed the temple, because he is the new temple himself; he bypassed the priests, because he is our new priest; and he bypassed the sacrifices and the law of restitution, because he is the full, perfect, and sufficient sacrifice, oblation, and satisfaction for the sins of Israel and the whole world. Jesus simply held out forgiveness and reconciliation to Matthew. All Matthew had to do was leave his tollbooth behind—that's repentance—and follow Jesus. And, Matthew says, that's just what he did. “He rose up and followed him.” He “rose up”. I think Matthew chose that language deliberately. It's resurrection language. When he decided to trust Jesus—and that's just what it was: trust and loyalty and allegiance—he was raised up out of his sin, he was raised up out of his alienation from God and from his people, and he was given his life back. And not just given back his old life, Jesus gave him something even better. He lifted Matthew up out of the life this evil age of sin and death and gave him a taste and a promise of the age to come, of new creation, of the Holy Spirit, and of the fellowship with God that his people had been so longing for. And, too, Jesus restores to Matthew his birthright as a Levite. As the Levites mediated the Lord to his people, so Matthew now brings the good news about Jesus to his people. In verse 10 he immediately takes us to his house. “When he was at home,” he writes, “sitting down to a meal, there were lots of tax-collectors and sinners there who had come to have dinner with Jesus and his disciples.” Other tax collectors and sinners were the only people who hang around with Matthew. Matthew knew that some of them felt the same way he did. They were traitors to the Lord and traitors to his people. They were hopelessly lost sheep. There was no way out. But Matthew had found it—or, rather, the way out had found him. And so he invites his friends to meet Jesus. They'd heard and seen him doing amazing things. Like Matthew, they'd been on the fringe. If the priest and Levites—not to mention everyone else in Israel—condemned them and kept apart from them, the Messiah certainly wasn't for them. But here he was and Jesus was saying the same thing to them that he'd said to Matthew: “Follow me.” And, I expect, at least some of them did. And Jesus and the disciples rejoiced with those people because they knew that heaven itself was rejoicing too. But there were always the Pharisees. Matthew writes that when they “saw it, they said to Jesus' disciples, ‘Why does your teacher eat with tax-collectors and sinners?' But Jesus heard them. ‘It isn't the healthy who need a doctor,' he said, ‘it's the sick. Go and learn what this saying means: “It's mercy I want, not sacrifice.” I haven't come to call upright people, but sinners.'” Like Paul says in our Epistle today, there was a veil over their eyes. The Pharisees were sick in their own ways, and Jesus exposed their sickness by going to the tax-collectors and sinners. When they complain about it, he quotes the words the Lord had spoken to Isaiah. We heard those words last week when our Gospel was the parable of the good Samaritan—Hosea 6 turned into a story. The problem was that the people lacked the heart of God. The sinners devoted to their sinning, the greedy tax-collectors ripping everyone off, and the Pharisees too—almost everyone in Israel—was far from God. His absence from the temple all those years was a metaphor for Israel's problem. Even those who were devoted to the law and who were “religious” about their tithing and their sabbaths and their diet and their sacrifices, were no closer to God than the prostitute or the tax-collector. And so Jesus came to the sinners with God's mercy—because they so desperately needed it—and he gave it to them in front of the watching scribes and Pharisees and all the “upright” people in Israel so that they could see that they needed to learn that same mercy and know it themselves. It was that mercy that reached Matthew. It was that mercy that reached Paul and lifted the veil from his eyes. And it was that mercy, made manifest in Jesus, that both Paul and Matthew proclaimed. It was this mercy that's at the centre of the Gospel that Matthew wrote to his people. And it's this same mercy that Paul preached. In today's Epistle from 2 Corinthians 4, he writes that it's this mercy that drives him forward despite all the obstacles. “The ‘god' of this world has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they won't see the light of the gospel of the glory of the Messiah, who is God's image.” So what's the solution? Paul writes, “We don't proclaim ourselves, you see, but Jesus the Messiah as Lord…because the God who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness,' has shone in our hearts, to produce the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus the Messiah.” Brothers and Sisters, Paul—and Matthew, for that matter—knew that it wouldn't be gimmicks or tricks or fancy speaking or trying to make God's word palatable to sinners that would lift the veil from the eyes of unbelievers. It would be the proclamation of the good news about Jesus. That light—the glory of God in the face of the Messiah as Paul describes it—that light met Matthew in the darkness of his tollbooth. That light met Paul on the road to Damascus. And it lifted the veil. It dispelled the darkness. It cast out the ‘god' of this world who enslaves us to sin and death and makes us to think there's no hope of escape. The light of the glory of God revealed in the good news of Jesus the Messiah is the answer and the only answer. It's our hope and our only hope. We too often try those other things. We water down God's word to try to make it less offensives. We try gimmicks or we try programmes. But Brothers and Sisters, we should know better. The Lord has promised that one day the knowledge of his glory will cover the earth as the waters cover the sea and that will happen because and only because his people have been faithful to proclaim his glory revealed in Jesus the Messiah who died and rose again. Brothers and Sisters, don't be afraid. Don't question whether it'll work or not. If the light of the gospel could tear down the veil that once had you blinded, if it could break the chains of sin that once bound you, it will tear down the veils that blind and it will break the chains that bind the rest of the world. Just proclaim it. Jesus has died and Jesus has risen, not just for you or for me or for holy people, but for sinners—for everyone. He holds out his hand to us wherever we are and invites us to leave it all behind, to follow him, and to rise to new life. Let's pray: O almighty God, whose beloved Son called Matthew from his tollbooth to be an apostle and evangelist: Set us free from the chains of our sins to follow and to proclaim your Son Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

INSANITY Plea: Amish Mom Who Drowned Son Says It Was “God's Will” — Courtroom Bombshells After shocking police with her “in a fish” bodycam confession, Ruth Miller now faces the courts. Charged with drowning her 4-year-old son after her husband walked to his death in Atwood Lake, Miller's attorneys have entered a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity. But will the court believe she didn't know right from wrong — or will religious extremism be viewed as no excuse for murder? In this Hidden Killers Live breakdown, Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels take apart the defense's strategy and what it means for justice. Attorneys argue Miller's actions were driven by a severe mental illness, pointing to bodycam footage as proof she was experiencing delusion in real time. Prosecutors, meanwhile, will push the question of whether this was truly psychosis — or simply religious belief taken too far. The panel compares Ruth Miller's case to infamous “doomsday mom” Lori Vallow Daybell, asking: does growing up in an isolated Amish community change the way we view accountability? If a person is indoctrinated from birth, do they see murder as sacrifice instead of crime? And how much leeway should the law give when faith collides with reality? This segment also pulls back the curtain on Amish culture itself — a world often hidden from outsiders, where abuse and mental health issues can go unchecked for years. The hosts debate whether this tragedy was the result of one woman's breakdown or the natural outcome of a system that discourages outside intervention. The show ends on a surreal but fitting note — with dark humor, broken fish props, and a Billy Bass tangent that underscores the absurdity of finding levity in the darkest stories. #RuthMiller #Amish #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #AtwoodLake #InsanityDefense #LoriVallow #OhioCrime #ReligiousExtremism #FaithAndCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

INSANE Confession: Amish Mom Claims Husband Is “In a Fish” After Drowning at Ohio Lake It sounds like something ripped straight from a dark biblical parable — but it's real. At a quiet Ohio lake, what should have been a simple Amish family camping trip turned into one of the most shocking true crime stories of the year. By the end of the day, Marcus Miller was dead, 4-year-old Vincent was drowned, and his mother Ruth Miller was calmly telling police on bodycam that her husband was “at the bottom of the lake in a fish.” In this Hidden Killers Live segment, Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels break down the timeline of August 23rd at Atwood Lake. What started as a “test from God” spiraled into horror: Marcus walking into the water and never returning, Ruth “giving” her son to God, and her desperate claim to officers that her husband had been swallowed whole like a modern-day Jonah. The hosts dig deep into the questions this case forces us to ask: Was Ruth Miller insane, or was this faith taken to its most destructive extreme? How does a community with limited access to mental health care handle delusions that masquerade as religious devotion? And how can a family's private spiral turn into a public tragedy that shocks the entire country? With bodycam footage capturing Ruth's chilling calmness, this case exposes the razor-thin line between devotion and delusion, faith and psychosis. Is this simply madness — or a warning about what happens when insular belief systems collide with untreated mental illness? #RuthMiller #Amish #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #AtwoodLake #InsanityDefense #OhioCrime #Bodycam #ReligiousDelusion #FaithAndCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

FBI Insider REACTS to Charlie Kirk Assassination Arrest + INSANE Amish “Fish” Murder Confession In a week filled with chaos, two stories are dominating the headlines — and both are almost too shocking to believe. First, the FBI moved with stunning speed to arrest Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old accused in the assassination of political commentator Charlie Kirk. In less than 36 hours, investigators tracked him down after a wave of 11,000 public tips, surveillance footage, Discord messages, and even a confession he allegedly made to friends. Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke — once chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program — joins Hidden Killers Live with Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels to break down exactly how this case came together. Dreeke explains what stood out in the FBI's press conferences, how leadership was unusually strong and united, and why Robinson's own father turning him in is a rare but critical deviation from the usual pattern. From online radicalization to narcissism, Dreeke unpacks the behavioral profile of a young man who seemed “ordinary” on the surface but was spiraling into violence beneath the mask. Then, just as the team processes one tragedy, we pivot to another jaw-dropping case out of Ohio: Ruth Miller, an Amish mother accused of drowning her 4-year-old son after her husband walked into Atwood Lake and never returned. On police bodycam, Miller calmly insists her husband is “at the bottom of the lake in a fish.” The hosts dig into the disturbing footage, the blurred lines between faith and delusion, and the chilling parallels to past cases of religiously driven violence. Two very different crimes — one political, one religious — but both raising urgent questions about mental health, radicalization, and what happens when belief systems collide with delusion.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
FBI Insider REACTS to Charlie Kirk Assassination Arrest + INSANE Amish “Fish” Murder Confession In a week filled with chaos, two stories are dominating the headlines — and both are almost too shocking to believe. First, the FBI moved with stunning speed to arrest Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old accused in the assassination of political commentator Charlie Kirk. In less than 36 hours, investigators tracked him down after a wave of 11,000 public tips, surveillance footage, Discord messages, and even a confession he allegedly made to friends.

Altona, Manitoba, is a small town sitting in the middle of a windswept prairie about a fifteen-minute drive north of North Dakota. In the winter, the days are short, the snow falls frequently, and there's very little to do except play hockey or other indoor activities. The town was founded by Mennonites, who, like the Amish, are known for their pacifist and peaceful ways. However, that did not mean the town was exempt from its fair share of tragedies. However, nothing would stun the Altona residents more than what happened on a November night in 1990. What started as a typical evening for two teenage boys ended in a horrific home invasion that left one dead and the other critically injured. The attack was violent and merciless, shaking the entire community to its core. Join Jen and Cam as they discuss "Out of the Fire: Murder in Altona."

CONTINUED Jim McTague, Lancaster County Economy and National Job Market Jim McTague provides an optimistic view of Lancaster County's economy, contrasting with national job market slowdowns. He notes low unemployment at 3.4% and no personal reports of job losses. The county's economy is buoyed by affluent retirees, who contribute millions to local restaurants and businesses, and a booming tourism sector attracting 10 million visitors annually. McTague highlights the importance of agriculture and the Amish culture as economic backbones. However, housing prices are significantly elevated, posing a challenge for younger, lower-wage workers. Growth is concentrated in suburban townships due to a superior healthcare industry and expanding data centers and pharmaceutical companies attracting professionals. 1942 LANCASTER CITY
