 GOP As They Lose Deep-Red Pennsylvania House Seat Held for 30 Years… PLUS, Prosecutors in Charlie Kirk Case Say Evidence Supports Death Penalty

Charlie Goldsmith, known to many as The Healer from the TLC series, joins Andrea for a conversation that goes far beyond his extraordinary results. While Charlie first became widely known for the remarkable ways he could alleviate pain and other conditions, his deeper mission is now focused on a larger problem: how to identify genuine healing ability, study it responsibly, and make real help easier to find for the people who need it most. As the conversation moves through Charlie's unexpected discovery of his ability, the resistance surrounding energy healing, the challenges of research, and the platform he is now building, the episode opens into something much larger than one healer's story. It is about evidence, access, human potential, and what it might take for healing ability to be taken seriously without losing what makes it extraordinary.  Find out how Charlie's free app is designed to identify genuine healing ability, connect people in need with those healers, and generate data that could shape the future of energy healing research. This mission needs people like you now. ✨ Learn more about Charlie Goldsmith: https://charliegoldsmith.com/Recorded: May 25th, 2026Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Limits Of Understanding00:52 -  Meet Charlie Goldsmith02:50 - Energy Awakening At 1806:11 - First Healing Moment09:45 - Mission To Prove It14:29 - Identity And Judgment17:40 - How The TV Show Happened22:06 - Why Media Stayed Closed24:39 - History Of Healing Backlash28:31 - Placebo Nocebo Debate31:58 - Placebo as Medicine33:31 - Challenging the Skeptics36:17 - What He Can Heal40:18 - Limits and Success Rates41:31 - The App Study Protocol47:33 - Why AI Makes It Safe51:24 - How to Use The Ennie App54:06 - Affordable Access Mission58:15 - Join the Collective Effort01:01:39 - Final Thanks and Follow Us!Channel Your Divine Self, a twelve-week live course where you build a direct, grounded relationship with your own inner guidance, alongside the Emissaries of Light.

"Jesus' Astonishing Love on the Cross"Luke 23:26-43Rev. Craig Luekens8.9.26

You've probably heard that a Bible that's falling apart usually belongs to someone who isn't. One reason: When you're constantly reading Scripture and meditating on its truth, the more you're reminded of the blessings of being in Christ. Risk some wear and tear on your Bible with John MacArthur as he continues his study called The Gospel According to God.

In 2014, the world's second largest coal consumer made a bold promise: to increase its solar capacity from three gigawatts to 100 gigawatts in just eight years. Many people called it overly ambitious, but energy expert Kanika Chawla saw the opportunity of a lifetime. She tells the story of how India became a solar powerhouse, turning an expensive dream into an economic reality — and creating a model for other countries to follow suit. After, Sherrell reflects on what drives the green economy and the growth strategy other companies can follow. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The End Abortion Podcast: Episode 4: See an Astonishing Image of an Unborn Child! 7-22-2026 by Frank Pavone

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I show why Google Cloud is setting the pace in the AI economy despite Microsoft's and AWS's larger scale. Highlights 00:03 — Well, we thought we had seen some big numbers in the Cloud Wars over the last few quarters, but Google Cloud for Q2 absolutely blew the numbers away. Astonishing: revenue up 82% to almost $25 billion, and its backlog up 390% to $514 billion. 01:39 — From Q1 to Q2, Google Cloud's revenue jumped $4.8 billion. That's far larger, not only than what Google Cloud has done quarter to quarter, but Microsoft and AWS. I believe, looking pretty closely over a long period of time, for any of those companies to have a $3 billion increase quarter to quarter has been remarkable. 02:16 — I've got an article offering some highlights from this, and also side-by-side-by-side comparisons of the growth that Google Cloud, Microsoft Cloud, and AWS have each posted over the past five quarters. What makes Google Cloud stand out is the arc of its acceleration. It is much, much steeper, much higher. 03:18 — Q4, Google Cloud really broke away from the pack: 48% growth in Q4, 63% growth in Q1, and here now for Q2, 82%. Just absolutely remarkable, and I think we see that among the hyperscalers, and perhaps others as well, Google Cloud is clearly the AI leader. 04:32 — While Microsoft Cloud and AWS have bigger revenue numbers, Google Cloud is the one setting the pace, winning more customers, winning new business, and setting the pace with technology, go-to-market innovation, and the confidence, in large part delivered by the remarkable security business it's built, that it can handle everything that customers need as they move into the AI economy.

Eight years ago, when wildfires threatened musician David Baerwald's family home in Los Angeles. He salvaged all but forgotten boxes belonging to his grandfather. Among the discoveries inside them were a spy camera, a samurai sword, breathtaking photographs, and dairies and letters that will change his life forever. The platinum selling artist behind ‘Welcome to the Boom Town' and ‘Come What May' spent seven years and sold his music catalog to write the novel ‘The Fire Agent,' based on his grandfather's astonishing story. The result is a gripping chronicle, the rise of fascism in both the West and Japan.

For everyone that no longer wants to try and be successful and fit in with everyone else. SAM is the Society of Astonishing Misfits. The Coolness of the uncool. We have our OWN way to succeed.

In Romans, Paul describes Abraham as "the father of us all." However, his purpose in telling this isn't to say, “Take a look at Abraham's amazing faith.”  He's telling us, “Take a look at God's amazing promise.”  He wants us to realize that you and I have a God who keeps every remarkable promise He has made – including our redemption from sin and eternal salvation in Christ.

Astonishing Conversation - Disciples New FocusThis episode we. Finish the astonishing conversation in John 4.Jesus focuses the disciples on their intended mission. As He did with the Samaritan woman, He diverts their attention from the physical to the spiritual. His food is to do the will of the Father, and He calls them.“I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.” John 4:38The Holy Spirit moves Paul to detail our calling in 2 Corinthians 5.“I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”Our So What?In the simplest form, have some soul you care for that you are committed to pray for consistently that they become part of the harvest, reconciled to God. Even simpler, no matter where you are in your striving with God, for His will, have someone you are interceding for to be reconciled to God.The meat of the episode ends at the 15:51 mark, and then we talk about the next few week and some changes in our tech, while introducing you to my friend Jesse.At the 19.08 mark, we discuss Ireland in relation to the Free Range Preacher on Prayer, including our excitement over the Spirit's moving in the lives of our brothers and sisters there, and that I can bang on, but not pronounce bodhran!

Send us Fan MailMore Efficient Results, More Personal Attention ... Less Visits - The Day a Patient Disappeared and the Clinical Results were Astonishing w/ CoHost Dr. Robert Shafer A patient can go a full year on aligners without an in-office check and still finish beautifully, and that fact should change how you think about orthodontic remote monitoring. We sit down with Dr. Robert Schaefer, one of the most effective users of remote monitoring we've ever seen, to unpack what actually happens when you stop treating virtual scans like a side project and start building your workflow around them. The result is less chaos, fewer wasted appointments, and a calmer way to run aligner treatment day to day.We talk through the real reasons practices say “remote monitoring doesn't work” while still scheduling chair time that no one can explain. The core issue is usually training and default settings: teams and doctors often look at a scan and jump straight to “bring them in,” instead of asking “how can we keep them progressing without disrupting their life?” We also dig into the control problem, the common belief that patients need to see you to justify the fee, and why convenience is often the strongest value you can deliver for busy families.You'll hear practical takeaways on aligner tracking, catching noncompliance early, avoiding the dreaded surprise appointment, and when it does make sense to bring someone in (like certain elastic or bite checks). We also cover how fewer in-person visits can free time to upgrade your patient experience, education, and coaching, plus why dabbling with a “10-case pilot” often leads to failure. If you want better Invisalign and aligner outcomes with fewer fires to put out, this one is for you.Subscribe for more, share this with a doctor or team lead who's still on the fence, and leave a five-star review if you want us to keep pushing into what modern orthodontic practice management can look like.Click here to follow The Brian Wright Show PodcastClick here to subscribe and watch on The Brian Wright Show YouTube Station Thank you to our SponsorsNew Patient GroupWrightChat

Send us Fan MailLife has a way of getting lifely — and this episode was born right in the middle of mine. In Episode 208, I get personal about a season that brought me to stillness, to my car, to my breath — and ultimately, to a word that changed everything for me this year. If you have ever found yourself waiting for the perfect moment to start again, or wondering if the hard thing you are going through has any light in it at all, this episode is for you. Come as you are. Start where you are. That is always enough.From a beloved novel to a spontaneous act of love from my son, from peer-reviewed science to a 14th century poet — I weave together the stories, the research, and the reminders that the light within you has never gone out. It may be quiet. It may be flickering. But it is there, and it has been there your whole life. I hope this episode helps you see it.Quote of the week: "I wish I could show you, when you are lonely or in darkness, the astonishing light of your own being." — Hafiz of ShirazFina's 2025 Reading ListThe 48 Laws of Power — Robert GreeneThe Prince — Niccolò MachiavelliThe Art of War — Sun TzuQuotations from the Works of Mao Tse-Tung — Mao ZedongRight Thing Right Now — Ryan HolidayAwaken the Giant Within — Tony RobbinsThe Big Leap — Gay HendricksEmotional Intelligence — Bradberry & GreavesA Return to Love — Marianne WilliamsonNo Mud No Lotus — Thich Nhat HanhTao Te Ching — Translated by Stephen MitchellMindful Investor — Maria GonzalezEducated — Tara WestoverSlaughterhouse-Five — Kurt Vonnegut1929 — Andrew Ross SorkinBooks ReferencedDoerr, Anthony.

The glorious response.The woman left Jesus, and His disciples completely changed. We see her now as a bubbling spring of water to eternal life. The people she once shied away from now rushed back to see Jesus because of her testimony. On the other hand:The mundane response. The disciples, whom we will see more of next time, marveled at but asked no questions about Jesus's conversation with this woman, and were so absorbed by their lunch that they missed the throng asking Jesus to stay with them. Our So What?We enter the throne room expectantly in the presence of our King. We listen attentively to the word given to us by our King.We react correctly, striving not to miss our King's desire.We depart joyfully, seeing our King's work. In this case, the salvation of souls. We pray, “Open my eyes, that I may behold Wonderful things from Thy law.” Psalm 119:18With humble thanks to John Piper and Alistair Begg, who greatly informed this episode.Brethren, let's pray for one another. “Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever.” Amen1 Timothy 1:17”What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more."

Plans change; that might be a theme of this podcast, Jesus' conversations with people in the book of John. We want to explore possible applications. Today, being sincere is an import from Jesus and His conversation with the woman at the well in Samaria. When she answered, "I have no husband," she was not honest with Jesus. His answer, "you have well said," in the passage did several things: for her, it showed that Jesus was the one with the answers; and for us, it illustrates that we are not only honest with God. For a prayer life which glorifies God, and satisfies our souls, our sincerity with Him is our…Our So What?As we desire honesty from one another in conversation, God desires truth in our close communion with Him. (Even though we know He knows)True communion is sincere communion."What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more."

We're caught up! - to December 2025. We beg the question, “What is time to a Neurodivergent?We finish up with the woman at the well, and her astonishing conversation with the Savior of the world.The importance of the eternal over the temporal.Mark 8:36“For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?“Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. 17 For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, 18 while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:16-18“Therefore also we have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him.” 2 Corinthians 5:9“But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.” Matthew 6:33The Holy Spirit gifts us each with the ability to help build up the church to be effective in spreading the gospel. Not all are evangelists, but all have, as this Samaritan found, a testimony.Our So What?Whatever else we lack, we have our testimony. The woman at the well forgot her water and went to tell the people she had avoided before:“So the woman left her waterpot, and went into the city, and *said to the men, 29 “Come, see a man who told me all the things that I have done; this is not the Christ, is it?” John 4:28-29Or“Come and hear, all who fear God, And I will tell of what He has done for my soul.” Psalm 66:16“Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.” Timothy 1:17Brethren, let's pray for one another, "What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more."

Jesus meets a woman at a well; this event gets right to the point. Our lives are much more than what we see physically, and the real existential threat is not to our earthly lives, but to our eternal souls. So critical is this truth that Jesus brings up what the woman would not say. "Go, call your husband, and come here." What unfolded next led the woman to the spiritual. "The woman *said to Him, "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet." Verse 19 of John 4. The point of this conversation:"Jesus *said to her, "Woman, believe Me, an hour is coming when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall you worship the Father. 22 "You worship that which you do not know; we worship that which we know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 "But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. 24 "God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." John 4:17-20Our So What?Praying for the physical is part of the call we have, but as we mature in our communion with Almighty God, our concerns will shift from the physical to the spiritual."What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more."

The amazing structure of the honeycomb has fascinated scientists for thousands of years. In the third century, the astronomer and geometer Pappus of Alexandria became the first to offer an explanation for why the honeycomb has a hexagonal shape.Pappus explained that only three shapes could serve as candidates for a honeycomb cell—the triangle, the square, and the hexagon. Any other shape would leave wasteful open spaces between the cells. Pappus noted that the hexagon holds more honey in the same space than either a square or a triangle. It also takes less wax to build, and the shared sides of the hexagonal cells reduce wax usage even further.It was not until the development of modern calculus that scientists could fully appreciate the shape of the caps at the end of the honeycomb cells. Each cell is capped with a pyramid composed of three rhombuses. Complex mathematics shows that this shape, too, requires the least amount of wax for construction. It also allows honeycomb cells to be butted up against each other without wasting space.Modern scientists who accept evolution talk about the design of the honeycomb as a great accomplishment by the bees. However, the more sensible conclusion is obvious. The ten-sided prism of the honeycomb cap is a magnificent testimony to the mathematical wisdom of the Creator Himself!Job 11:7-9“Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection? It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know? The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.”Prayer: Only You, Lord, could have invented mathematics and then taught it to the bees! Your wide generosity to all creatures enriches and blesses our lives even more. Amen.REF.: The mathematics of the honeycomb. Science Digest.

Last month, there was a devastating hearing featuring a victim of ICE, an ICE whistleblower, and a previous DHS attorney. It revealed what, in any other time, would have been a massive scandal likely resulting in multiple firings. But we live in the bad times, which means this hearing took place in a maintenance shed barely on Congressional property during lunchtime put on by a ragtag team of the few remaining people who give a shit about constitutional rights. I take you through the hearing, and then next episode we're going to compare this to the Minnesota fraud hearings, of which the MAGA controlled congress has had... 3? 4? There is a marked difference in the seriousness of the people involved.
