Can a woman be called by God to the priesthood, even if her church says no? In this compelling episode of Your Radical Truth, Margaret Mary O'Connor sits down with Reverend Liz Maitland, whose extraordinary 47-year journey to ordination is a story of perseverance, faith, healing, and unwavering conviction. Raised in the Anglican Church before becoming Roman Catholic, Reverend Liz believed from a young age that God was calling her to become a priest. That calling ultimately led her to the Independent Catholic tradition, where she was ordained after decades of waiting and trusting God's direction. Together, Deacon Margaret Mary and Reverend Liz explore the Divine Feminine, women's leadership in the early Church, biblical images of God as both father and mother, and why these conversations continue to matter today. Reverend Liz also shares her personal journey through mental health challenges, the healing she found through faith and contemplative prayer, and how her ministry now includes training assistance dogs to support emotional wellbeing. Whether you're exploring your own faith journey, interested in the history of women in Christianity, or simply enjoy thoughtful conversations that challenge conventional thinking, this episode offers insight, hope, and plenty to reflect upon.

In this episode, Colonel Tiffany Bilderback joins MWI's Charlie Faint to discuss a career defined by coalition building, strategic leadership, and service alongside partner forces from countries like Germany, Iraq, South Korea, and Ukraine. She also describes working in the special operations community and at the Pentagon, and providing military medical assistance to the COVID-19 national response. The bulk of the episode focuses on her time as the J5, or joint plans officer, for Security Assistance Group–Ukraine. Drawing on experiences advising Iraqi forces, supporting whole-of-government pandemic operations, commanding a multifunctional medical battalion, and helping develop Ukraine's corps-level command structure during an active armed conflict, Tiffany reflects on the importance of humility, empathy, professional military education, and building trust with allies. She shares firsthand observations of Ukrainian resilience, explains why leader development remains essential even in the midst of combat, and offers practical leadership lessons on accountability, lifelong learning, and choosing opportunities that open more doors than they close.

American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall says farming is not easy, but Congress has the tools to help ease the burden of a struggling farm economy.

Ils ne sont ni policiers ni gendarmes, mais mènent l'enquête : généalogistes, détective privé ou simples citoyens engagés… Alors que plus de 100 personnes disparaissent chaque jour en France, volontairement ou non, les forces de l'ordre se concentrent sur les disparitions inquiétantes, notamment de mineurs. Depuis 2003, l'association Assistance et recherche de personnes disparues (ARPD) s'est donnée pour mission de soutenir les familles de disparus et d'aider aux recherches. En France, 1 000 enquêteurs bénévoles de tous âges et profils travaillent en réseau à travers le pays pour retrouver des personnes disparues. Isabelle Cluzan, déléguée départementale du Val-d'Oise, explique que l'association prend en charge tous types de disparitions : « On prend tous types de disparitions, les disparitions volontaires inquiétantes, les ruptures familiales de même que les fugues et les personnes Alzheimer. » Elle évoque notamment le dossier d'Evelyne Lioret, une dame dont la disparition semble volontaire. Mais sa fille a mandaté l'association pour s'assurer qu'elle est en sécurité. « À partir de là, on analyse le dossier et on fait une sorte de cartographie d'Evelyne, de sa vie, de ses projets, de son entourage et de ses proches sur le terrain. On va frapper aux portes, on collecte des contacts, on va repérer les lieux où elle a travaillé, où elle habitait pour en fait apporter à ma cartographie des éléments vraiment visuels », explique Isabelle Cluzan. En France, un majeur a le droit de disparaître. Comment réagit l'association dans ces cas-là ? « Dans ces cas-là, on contacte la personne disparue. On essaie de savoir ce qu'il se passe. Notre mission, effectivement, c'est de rassurer la famille en disant qu'on a eu un signe de vie. Mais par rapport aux disparus, on reste dans la confidentialité de la localisation. C'est sûr, et on ne dévoile pas la vie de l'autre », précise Isabelle Cluzan. Les réseaux sociaux, une mine d'or pour les recherches Aujourd'hui, l'ordinateur est devenu un outil majeur dans les recherches. Pauline Charpy, coordinatrice OSINT, la cellule de recherche en sources ouvertes, souligne son importance : « Cela aide beaucoup. Toute personne laisse au moins une trace numérique, que ce soit sur les réseaux sociaux, avec des photos, des adresses mail... Ça peut vous donner une nouvelle localisation de quelqu'un. Les réseaux sociaux, c'est une mine d'or aujourd'hui. Quand on demande de l'aide aux personnes, les gens jouent le jeu. Ce qui marche le mieux aujourd'hui, c'est la diffusion au maximum des avis de recherche. Parfois, on n'a pas besoin de faire de terrain. J'ai résolu beaucoup de dossiers qu'avec de l'OSINT. » Pauline Charpy insiste cependant sur un autre aspect essentiel de leur mission : « Le soutien et l'assistance aux familles. Parfois, il n'y a pas besoin d'enquêter sur certains dossiers, mais il est important d'être là pour les familles. On est là pour les écouter, parce que le silence, c'est terrible pour les familles. C'est le plus difficile. » Comme pour les policiers ou les gendarmes, certains dossiers marquent durablement les bénévoles. Pauline Charpy se souvient notamment d'un cas qui l'a profondément touchée : « Il y avait eu un Afghan qui avait disparu. C'est un dossier qui m'a beaucoup marqué parce que pour le retrouver, j'ai dû aller dans les camps à Paris et découvrir un univers qui m'était totalement étranger. Finalement, on l'a retrouvé à l'étranger, en Belgique. Mais c'est un dossier qui m'a beaucoup touché parce que, en fait, ce sont des personnes ignorées de la société. Je me suis dit que l'ARPD faisait ce travail pour aider tout le monde. » « Créer un maillage complet autour de la Terre » Développer des relais à l'étranger est une mission clé pour l'association, comme l'explique Caroline Fauveau; responsable de la cellule internationale : « Depuis trois ans, nous sommes une vingtaine. Nous fonctionnons avec des Français qui habitent à l'étranger, et nous avons aussi des Français qui connaissent l'étranger mais qui sont sur le territoire français. On communique énormément avec les groupes d'expatriés, les associations de Français à l'étranger, d'autres associations qui font le même travail... Une association en Grèce est très active. Il y en a une en Autriche qui nous a retrouvé une dame qui avait Alzheimer. On contacte aussi tous les centres pour SDF, les hôpitaux psychiatriques. On essaie de créer un maillage complet autour de la Terre. » Cependant, les moyens restent limités. « Nous ne sommes pas riches, nous ne sommes pas envoyés à l'autre bout du monde pour enquêter, rigole Caroline Fauveau. Tout se fait via internet. » Aujourd'hui, dix correspondants en Europe, mais aussi aux Amériques et en Asie, travaillent avec elle. Un réseau que Caroline Fauveau compte bien étoffer encore dans les mois à venir.

Today's poem is Assistance by Abbie Kiefer. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “I famously have a brown thumb, as they call it. For as much as I love trees and appreciate flowers when I see them, I haven't thought to plant and tend to them myself. For as much as I love fresh cucumber and zucchini and herbs, I've never planted them. Maybe someday that will change. Maybe someday gardening will call to me and be just what I need. In today's poem, gardening is exactly what the speaker needs.” This show is supported by gifts from listeners. Support The Slowdown with a donation today. Slowdownshow.org/donate

This week we look back at the last 18 months of U.S. foreign assistance — a period defined by the dismantling of USAID and the absorption of foreign aid strategy into the State Department. We break down the types of initiatives the Trump administration is prioritizing and where the funding is flowing. On the other side of the Atlantic, the European Union is currently in the process of negotiating the bloc's next seven-year budget. The new financial framework could mark a turning point for European aid, formalizing a shift from development-first spending toward an approach that increasingly serves member states' geopolitical and economic interests. To dig into these stories and others, Adva Saldinger sits down with Michael Igoe and Jesse Chase-Lubitz for the latest episode of our weekly podcast series.

The conversation revolves around the two key spaces where AI operates: thinking (e.g. outlining, structuring) and design (e.g. visuals, layouts). While all three agree AI enhances efficiency, they also agree AI is not set to replace human storytelling, editorial judgment, and contextual understanding in professional presentation design.

Passenger Assistance is a service rail users can book for help with things like navigating unfamiliar stations and catching connecting trains. When it goes right, it can be a service that boosts independence and travel confidence, but it can often go wrong. So now the Office of Rail and Road, who are the regulator for Britain's railways, are consulting on a new framework that aims to make the process of putting things right for passengers fairer. The regulator's Head of Consumer Jacqui Russell explains what is in their framework and how you can respond to their consultation.

Next week's NATO Summit in Ankara is expected to showcase Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's rising influence within the alliance, as he aims to use the gathering to overcome resistance to crucial arms deals and highlight the rapid growth of Turkey's defence industry. Boasting NATO's second-largest army and sharing borders with flashpoints from Ukraine to the Middle East, Turkey is at the heart of the alliance's future amid doubts about the United States' commitment to European defence. “It is a paradigm shift,” says international relations professor Huseyin Bagci of Ankara's Middle East Technical University. With European and North American leaders attending the summit, on 7 and 8 July, Bagci predicts Erdogan will use the opportunity to cement Turkey's pivotal role.  “The NATO summit will be a good instrument for Erdogan to show Turkish domestic politics, as well as international politics, that he is one of the medium-power leaders in the world with whom you have to deal." Europe, Asia driving surge in global military spending: report Defence deals Major arms deals are expected to make headlines at the summit. US President Donald Trump – attending out of what he calls respect for Erdogan – is not likely to come empty-handed. "The administration is eager to deliver something to Erdogan," says Aaron Stein, president of the Foreign Policy Research Institute, a US-based think tank. Trump and Erdogan are expected to sign a $700 million deal for the sale of around 80 GE F-110 fighter jet engines. The sale would be a major breakthrough for Ankara in its ambitious Fifth Generation fighter jet project.  “The Kaan fighter jet, Turkey's domestic fighter, is powered at least in the first iteration by the F-110. And so getting these engines would be important for the development of that fighter,” explained Stein. Ankara is investing billions of euros into the Kaan jet, but without enough engines critics have mockingly called it the world's priciest glider. Congressional roadblocks, fuelled by influential Israeli and Greek lobbies, have stalled the engine deal, but Trump has vowed to use executive power to push it through. “Turkey has become a domestic political football in the United States, kicked around,” says Stein. “The administration wants to push forward on these agreements and is willing to use leverage to do it." Turkey opposition worries that Europe is sacrificing democracy for security Ankara is also looking to the NATO summit for a breakthrough in its goal to secure the French-Italian SAMP-T anti-missile system. Until now Paris has blocked the sale, but French media has hinted that an agreement could be within reach.  “That would open maybe a new chapter in European-Turkish relations,” says International relations expert Zaur Gasimov of Istanbul's Turkish German University. “That would bring key European members of NATO – France, Italy – closer to Turkey. And would maybe forge a new core group within NATO." Exclusion from SAFE Ankara is using the summit to spotlight Turkey's booming defence industry, showcasing its cutting-edge weaponry and highly coveted drones, used in conflicts from Ukraine to Africa. “Turkey has quite a developed field of drone production, which is of paramount importance in modern types of warfare,” explains Gasimov. “So all that makes Turkey a very, very special member of NATO from the point of view of European leaders." However, Turkish arms sales to Europe face a major hurdle: exclusion from the EU's €150 billion Safety and Assistance for Europe (SAFE) arms procurement programme. EU members Greece and Cyprus continue to block Turkey's participation in SAFE due to unresolved disputes in the Mediterranean and Aegean Seas. Turkey expands influence in Africa through military training Bagci predicts Erdogan will use his meeting with European leaders to try to break this deadlock. “SAFE is the grand strategic decision of the European Union, so it cannot be stopped or prevented by such a small country like the southern Republic of Cyprus or Greece. The Greeks and the southern Republic of Cyprus, they have to stop or shut up and not prevent [Turkey's participation in] SAFE," he says.  Turkey is the only country that recognises the Turkish Cypriot administration in Northern Cyprus, refusing to recognise the Republic of Cyprus as the sole sovereign administrator of the island, as international law does. 

Mary Kissel evaluates US policy toward China, noting Beijing's aggression toward Taiwan and the Philippines.
