Podcasts about awake

Delwyn Zook - Sunday morning opening message.

Some hearts ache, not because they are broken by sin, but because they are awake. Awake to a question that refuses to stay quiet when the noise of life fades. A question that stirs restlessness, longing, and an unshakable sense that there must be more. That search is not weakness. It is a sign that the heart is still alive. In this reminder, we confront a subtle illusion many never question, the idea that meaning is found in achievement, identity, or a destination in this world. Yet the heart continues to feel unsatisfied, no matter how much it gathers. This episode is not about adding something new to your life, but uncovering what was always meant to come first, the foundation upon which everything else finds its place. Some answers are not discovered by moving forward, but by returning.

Exhaustion is ego disguised as dedication. The warrior sleeps deeply while the amateur stays wired and exhausted.I've trained 300+ days straight. Over-training your nervous system destroys the gains you're working for. It's not about time or weight—it's about energy.

Today's message on LoveTalk Network reminds us that after waking up to our need for Jesus, we must stay "Alert" to the enemy’s schemes. Satan is actively at work using deception to make evil look good and truth seem confusing. Nevertheless, Jesus shows us how to resist through submission to God and reliance on Scripture. Although strong believers like Peter and David stumbled when alertness faded, their stories teach us that spiritual warfare is real, personal responsibility matters, and restoration is always possible through repentance. Staying alert requires daily surrender, reliance on God’s Word, and obedience. Join Kerri, Cathy, and Marlene for this timely message, the second in a three-part series entitled Awake, Alert, and Awestruck.

Sleep expert Stephanie Romiszewski has always taken an unconventional approach to rest, and in this episode, she reveals why overthinking sleep is the real culprit behind poor rest. Stephanie explains why obsessing over sleep only makes it worse, and how we can fix our sleep problems by addressing our daytime habits instead of focusing on the night itself.She dives into the dangers of sleep trackers, sharing how even false data can increase anxiety and disrupt your performance. Stephanie also introduces her game-changing advice on the importance of a consistent morning routine, wake-up times, light exposure, and movement, and why these factors are far more influential than any bedtime ritual.She also shares her AWAKE acronym, a practical guide to improving sleep by embracing variation, avoiding the chase for perfect rest, and keeping a strong, balanced day.This episode offers a refreshing, honest perspective on sleep, revealing how our mindset and routines during the day play a bigger role in getting quality rest and maintaining peak performance.Stephanie's new book 'Think Less, Sleep More' is out now and published by Atlantic Books, RRP £14.99Heights

In this episode, Michael explores the intersection of mindfulness and situational ethics, unpacking how awareness can guide us through the complex moral landscapes of everyday life. Drawing from a 2015 lecture in an earlier version of his online course, Embodying Ethics & Vows in Modern Life, exploring in practical detail the two wings of the practice: calming (samatha) and insight (vipassana) With practical examples and grounded insight, he shows how these complementary practices support wise, responsive action—not as abstract ideals, but as lived ethics in real time. Whether you're deepening your meditation practice or navigating difficult choices in modern life, this episode offers thoughtful guidance on embodying awareness where it matters most.

This episode of LoveTalk Network is the first in a three-part series entitled "Awake, Alert, and Awestruck. Today, Kerri, Cathy, and Marlene discuss the need for Christians to AWAKE. Awake is a call to recognize how busyness, distraction, and the pursuit of temporary satisfaction can lull us into spiritual sleep, leaving us restless and empty without Jesus. Scripture urges us to wake up now, not later, because true life begins when we acknowledge our need for Him. God awakens His people in different ways—through crisis like the Prodigal Son, through dramatic intervention like Saul on the road to Damascus, or through gentle, personal conversation like Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman. Whether sudden or gradual, awakening always involves recognizing our brokenness, surrendering to Christ, and receiving the forgiveness, purpose, and new life that only He can provide.

Have you ever wondered if you're moving through life fully present… or just on autopilot?This week brought a series of small but powerful wake-up moments that made me question what comfort really means. Sometimes what feels safe and familiar can quietly turn into unconsciousness. In this episode, I explore awareness, presence, courage over comfort, and the subtle ways we drift without noticing.Where in your life might you be just a little too comfortable?Related episodes to explore:•⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 160: My Invisible Addiction: When Checking Became a Habit - https://youtu.be/vKMUU7YEXsg• 132: Confidence Starts Where Comfort Ends - https://youtu.be/NmjNI6MfvZI

God Has Not Forgotten Your Affliction! Psalm 44:22-26 “Rouse yourself! Why do you sleep, O Lord? Awake, do not cast us off forever! Why do you hide your face? Why do you forget our affliction and oppression?  For we sink down to the dust; our bodies cling to the ground. Rise up, come to our help. Redeem us for the sake of your steadfast love.” The original verse I started with this morning was verse 24. “Why do you forget our affliction and oppression. Yet, when I looked up the verse, all these verses were together, and it reminded me of so many people. There are so many of you who listen to this podcast who have reached out and said this same thing. Maybe not in these exact words, but these are the thoughts going through your head. You are wondering where the Lord is in all of this. You are wondering why He is not answering your questions when you know He can. You are wondering why? Why the broken dreams? Why has He not healed you? Why has he not brought the provisions? Why does it seem He has not kept His promise to provide for you and to protect you? Why are your loved ones still hurting? Why has your protigal son or daughter not come home? Why again, why now? Why? What is your why that you are wrestling with right now? What the Lord put on my heart is that He wants us to know that if we are asking why we are not alone. Many times, we can think we aren't supposed to ask why. We might hear things at church or from other people who say that if you are struggling, you just don't have enough faith. You might hear that you can't be mad at God, you just need to work through it on your own. If you are mad at God, you are bad or doing something wrong. You just don't trust enough. You might hear a bunch of different things. Most of them are not true. God wants you to know that it is ok to ask why. It is okay not to understand His plan. It is ok to cry out to Him in anger and frustration. I feel He gave me this scripture today to show you that you are not alone. The psalmists cried out to the Lord. They asked Him questions. They expressed their frustration with His timing and with feeling abandoned. Many of the Psalms were written by David. He was blessed beyond measure by God. He knew God, and He knew how much God loved Him. He was never afraid to take His sins back to God and ask for forgiveness. He had a very intimate relationship with God. David also did not have an easy life. He went from being loved by the king to being hunted by the king, from being king to being pursued by his son, who wanted him dead. If we don't know David's whole story, we may think he killed Goliath with a stone and then became a mighty king. There is so much more to David's story. He had some great years, some awful years, and everything in between. I tell you all of this to show you that you can be beloved and blessed by God and yet still have lots of trouble in your life. Having trouble and suffering do not mean that God doesn't love you or that He has turned His back on you. Many of you have been praying some pretty big prayers for a long time, and you feel angry that God is not listening. He wants you to know that He hears every one of your prayers. He is acting even if you can't see how. Sometimes he is arranging things that you won't see enter your life for years. Sometimes, He is changing people's hearts, and that takes time. Sometimes our children have to learn their own lessons, and that takes time. Yes, God could heal you in a minute. Yes, God could change your heart in a minute. God can do all things. Yet that is not always how he chooses to do things, and it is our job to cooperate with God's plan. I promise you, God knows what He is doing. He is not placing amazing dreams and desires in your heart to tease you. He is not cruel. He is not showing you amazing things just to take them away from you. Only good comes from God. If He is placing amazing dreams in your heart, it is because He wants you to believe it can happen. He wants you to reach for it. He wants you to see what your future could be. He wants you to know you won't always have these same limitations. I know it hurts to believe sometimes because we are tired of being disappointed. But hope in the Lord does not disappoint. (Romans 5:5) What if you could take away your timeline and just fully believe that all your prayers will be answered? How would your life be different if, instead of focusing on the when, you just celebrated that it would definitely happen someday? What if you pictured what you would do the day your prayers were answered? What if every time you started to ask why, you changed it and started thanking the Lord for answering your prayers in the most beautiful way? I think the Lord is talking to me personally for that last part. I am constantly asking Him why he hasn't restored Bruce's eyesight yet. Why are my friends Suzanne, Rosa & Danielle still struggling? Why so many I know have not been healed yet. However, when I asked those questions above, my heart felt so full. I am not going to ask the Lord when anymore. I am going to put my full trust in the fact that those healings are coming, and I am going to plan what I will do when they do come. How will I celebrate with the individual people? How will I give the glory to God? How can I lift up and support those I know who are suffering while they are waiting for their miracle? How can I give them strength? How can I accompany them so they are not alone? I am going to change my questions! If you can change your questions, I think it will make the wait more bearable. If you can go all in on believing your miracle is on the way, then it might make the wait a bit easier. However, even if you can't shift your mindset. Even if you are still angry with God, that is okay. Just make sure to talk with Him about it. Don't shut Him out. Don't be afraid to be honest with Him. He already knows your feelings, probably before you even do. If you still need to ask why, that's ok. You are in good company, as many of those in the Bible asked why. Many questioned, doubted, and struggled with God's plan, yet God did not withdraw His favor from them. He did not take away His good plan or their good future. He will not take away yours either. Your miracle will still come, even if you question, even if you get frustrated and angry. Just don't shut God out. He is there with you in all of this. He hears your prayers, and He is working all things for your good! Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening to this episode today. Lord, you are amazing. You are so good, and I am sorry when we get frustrated and angry because you are not doing things in our timing. Lord, we want to trust you, we want to believe our miracle is coming, and yet it feels so hard at times. Our life feels so far from our dreams at times. Help us to persevere. Give us the strength we need to keep on hoping and believing. We love you, Lord, and we ask all this in accordance with your will and in Jesus's holy name, Amen!

What if death isn't a clean switch—off, then on—but something messier? In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro dig into a deeply unsettling early-20th-century medical case involving a European woman who was pronounced dead… and then woke up during her own autopsy. Not metaphorically. Not dramatically. Literally on the table. Declared clinically dead by the standards of the time, her body was wheeled from the ward, stripped, positioned, and cut open by doctors who had no reason to believe anyone was listening. But when she revived, she didn't describe darkness, tunnels, or visions of light. Instead, she calmly and accurately recounted what the doctors had done and said after she was declared dead—details she could not have seen, overheard, or reasonably guessed. The case appeared quietly in early medical journals, written in careful, restrained language, and then largely disappeared from discussion. Long before near-death experiences entered popular culture, this account suggested something far more uncomfortable: that awareness may linger longer than we think, and that consciousness doesn't always follow the tidy rules we assign to it. From there, the conversation widens into the blurry boundaries of clinical death, historical accounts of awareness during catastrophic injury, and why medicine—especially in its early modern years—may have preferred to quietly file away cases that didn't fit the model. Then, because this is The Box of Oddities, things take a turn. The episode also explores unlucky days across cultures—Friday the 13th, Tuesday the 13th, Friday the 17th, and other calendar dates humans have decided are cursed—and why we seem so determined to assign meaning to randomness. And finally, the story of Vincent Coleman and the Halifax Explosion: a railway dispatcher who knowingly stayed at his post to send a final warning that saved hundreds of lives, moments before one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in human history leveled much of Halifax, Nova Scotia. It's an episode about presence where none was expected, warnings sent too late—or just in time—and the uncomfortable possibility that the line between being here and being gone isn't as sharp as we'd like to believe.

PSALM 44 For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. A maskil. 1 We have heard with our ears, O God; our fathers have told us what you did in their days, in days long ago. 2 With your hand you drove out the nations and planted our fathers; you crushed the peoples and made our fathers flourish. 3 It was not by their sword that they won the land, nor did their arm bring them victory; it was your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, for you loved them. 4 You are my King and my God, who decrees victories for Jacob. 5 Through you we push back our enemies; through your name we trample our foes. 6 I do not trust in my bow, my sword does not bring me victory; 7 but you give us victory over our enemies, you put put our adversaries to shame. 8 In God we make our boast all day long, and we will praise your name forever. 9 But now you have rejected and humbled us; you no longer go out with your armies. 10 You made us retreat before the enemy, and our adversaries have plundered us. 11 You gave us up to be devoured like sheep and have scattered us among the nations. 12 You sold your people for a pittance, gaining nothing from their sale. 13 You have made us a reproach to our neighbors, the scorn and derision of those around us. 14 You made us a byword among the nations ; the peoples shake their heads at us. 15 My disgrace is before me all day long, and my face is covered with shame 16 at the taunts of those who reproach and revile me, because of the enemy, who is bent on revenge. 17 All this happened to us, though we had not forgotten you or been false to your covenant, 18 Our hearts had not turned back; our feet had not strayed from your path. 19 But you crushed us and made us a haunt for jackals and covered us over with deep darkness. 20 If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god, 21 would not God have discovered it, since he knows the secrets of the heart? 22 Yet for your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered. 23 Awake, O Lord! Why do you sleep? Rouse yourself! Do not reject us forever. 24 Why do you hide your face and forget our misery and oppression? 25 We are brought down to the dust; our bodies cling to the ground. 26 Rise up and help us; redeem us because of your unfailing love. NIV 84 LESSON NOTES Praise Is a Process Psalm 44:1–8 reminds us that praise is the fruit of a process. We remember God in the past, trust Him in the present, and praise Him in the future. Skipping remembering and trusting leads to just singing rather than genuine praise. Inherited Belief Must Become Personal Allegiance “Their faith” must become “my faith.” The psalmist moves from “our fathers told us” (v.1) to “You are my King and my God” (v.4). Spiritual maturity happens when we add our signature to the story — when God becomes personally trusted in the present. When Theology Doesn't Seem to Work The turning point — “But now” (v.9) — captures the tension of undeserved suffering. The people are experiencing the curses of disobedience while claiming covenant faithfulness. Psalm 44 gives language to that painful question: What do we do when our experience contradicts our expectations and explanations? God Invites Honest Protest Verses 9–21 model bold, uncensored prayer. He protests. He wrestles. He brings confusion to God rather than away from Him. Faith is not pretending everything is fine — it is bringing everything honestly before the Lord. Hesed Has the Final Word The psalm ends with one emphatic word: hesed — unfailing, covenant love. Paul quotes Psalm 44:22 in Romans 8 to show that even unexplained suffering cannot separate us from Christ's love. When answers fail, God's steadfast love remains. His hesed is the trump card. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. What are specific ways you intentionally “remember” what God has done? How does remembering strengthen your faith during difficult seasons? 2. When did your faith move from “theirs” (family, church, tradition) to “mine”?  What helps you continue making that transition daily? 3. Have you experienced a “But now” season — where your experience seemed to contradict your expectations and explanations? How did you respond? 4. Why do you think many Christians struggle to bring protests to God? What would it look like this week to pray with more honesty? 5. When answers are unclear, what does it practically mean to “cling to His unfailing love”? How does Romans 8:35–39 strengthen your confidence during hardship?

This episode of LoveTalk Network is the first in a three-part series entitled "Awake, Alert, and Awestruck. Today, Kerri, Cathy, and Marlene discuss the need for Christians to AWAKE. Awake is a call to recognize how busyness, distraction, and the pursuit of temporary satisfaction can lull us into spiritual sleep, leaving us restless and empty without Jesus. Scripture urges us to wake up now, not later, because true life begins when we acknowledge our need for Him. God awakens His people in different ways—through crisis like the Prodigal Son, through dramatic intervention like Saul on the road to Damascus, or through gentle, personal conversation like Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman. Whether sudden or gradual, awakening always involves recognizing our brokenness, surrendering to Christ, and receiving the forgiveness, purpose, and new life that only He can provide.

When Listeners Say, “Me Too”: Finding Familiarity in Shared Stories – A Listener Voicemail Episode Description:In this special listener voicemail episode, Jen and Amy turn the mic outward—listening closely to the voices, stories, and wisdom of the community that makes this show what it is. From reflections sparked by our Wake Up Call season to deeply personal responses to Jen's book Awake, these messages trace a powerful throughline: what happens when we begin to tell the truth about our lives—and make space for who we're becoming. Listeners share how conversations with Lee C. Camp, John Fugelsang, Melani Sanders, and Chrissy King stirred something awake in them, naming long-held questions around faith, body, identity, and courage. Others call in to reflect on the uncanny resonance of Awake, beginning again and again with the same line: “Jen, our stories are very similar.” This episode is tender, funny, and honest—a reminder that none of us are doing this work alone. It's about waking up, letting go, finding language for the ache, and choosing what comes next—together. If you've ever wondered whether your voice matters here, this episode is your answer. Thought-provoking Quotes: “Our stories are very similar—and hearing that out loud made me realize I'm not behind. I'm just in it.” – FTL Listener “I didn't know how much I needed someone to say, ‘You're allowed to change your mind,' until this season.” – FTL Listener “That episode felt like someone finally put words to the questions I've been carrying quietly.” – FTL Listener “Something in me relaxed when I heard someone else say it first.” – FTL Listener Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Beyond Words: Listening to a Hidden Community — Ky Dickens and The Telepathy Tapes - https://jenhatmaker.com/podcasts/series-64/unlocking-the-secrets-of-consciousness-and-telepathy-ky-dickens-and-the-telepathy-tapes/ The Telepathy Tapes podcast - https://thetelepathytapes.com/ Rick Rubin - https://x.com/RickRubin Elizabeth Gilbert - https://www.elizabethgilbert.com/ Human Flourishing in a Distracted World: Theologian Lee C.

On this episode of The Karol Markowicz Show, Karol sits down with author, activist, and firearms instructor Yehuda Remer, widely known as “The Pew Pew Jew,” for a candid conversation about Jewish self-defense, gun ownership, and the cultural shift happening in the wake of October 7. Why have so many American Jews historically been wary of firearms? How did the trauma of the Holocaust shape modern Jewish attitudes toward guns—and is that finally changing? Yehuda breaks down the historical roots of Jewish political alignment, the generational divide on Second Amendment rights, and why he believes Jews should be among the strongest defenders of the 2A. Karol shares her own journey—from longtime conservative who never owned a gun to daily carrier—and explains what changed her perspective. Together, they discuss: The surge in Jewish gun ownership after October 7 Israel’s restrictive gun laws and what they mean for Jewish security Why self-defense is about more than just owning a firearm The role of education in changing minds on gun safety Divisions within the conservative movement over Second Amendment rights Raising strong, respectful kids in a chaotic political culture Yehuda also opens up about his family’s Holocaust history, what motivates his activism, and why he believes Jews must reclaim their warrior heritage rather than remain passive in the face of rising antisemitism.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla for February 11, 2026 reflects on Psalm 44:23–26, one of Scripture's boldest prayers. In this Christ-centered Lutheran devotion, we hear the desperate cry of God's people who feel crushed, forgotten, and pressed into the dust, yet still call upon the Lord for redemption. “Awake! Why are you sleeping, O Lord?” is not irreverence, but faith speaking honestly in suffering.This daily Christian devotion explores faithful lament, bold prayer, and the comfort of God's steadfast love. Rooted in the theology of the cross, it points us to Christ, who entered fully into abandonment and suffering for our sake, and who was raised to prove that God's mercy does not fail. When God feels silent, this devotion reminds us that our hope rests not in our strength, but in His covenant love.If this devotion blesses you, consider supporting this ministry at

Week 1 of the "Awaken" series.

If you've ever found yourself sitting on the nursery floor in the dark, scrolling through "sleep expert" advice and wondering why your child didn't get the memo, this episode is for you. In the second installment of our Raising Eyebrows series, Dr. Kailey Buller and I are pulling back the curtain on the "Sleep Industrial Complex" to reveal why so much of what you're reading online is causing more stress than sleep. We aren't here to give you another rigid schedule to fail at; we're here to help you understand the biological reality of your child's rest and why "sleeping through the night" isn't always the milestone the internet claims it to be.We get into the messy, honest truth about sleep training — the myths that shame you for snuggling and the misinformation that scares you away from setting boundaries. From navigating the "witching hour" to the big transition out of the crib, we explore how to build a system that actually fits your family's unique needs rather than a stranger's highlight reel. If you're tired of feeling like sleep is a competitive sport you're losing, join us for a conversation that prioritizes your sanity and your gut instinct over the polarizing noise of social media. It's time to raise those eyebrows at the "perfect" sleep schedules and find a path that finally lets your whole house breathe a sigh of relief.Ditch the 2 a.m. Doom-Scrolling: Visit VitalsWithDrBuller.com to explore Dr. Kailey's "Sleep & Sanity" resources designed for real-world parenting.Join Our Village: Want to share what's really happening at bedtime?

Let's be honest: Most people don't talk honestly about what healthy relationships actually require.They talk about "being nice." About "giving people grace."

She believed she had finally left the worst of it behind. After years of strange experiences, she moved into a new place, convinced that whatever haunted her before was tied to the apartment she escaped.For a while, nothing happened.Then one night, she woke in total darkness with the unmistakable feeling that something was wrong. The room felt unfamiliar—thick, heavy, as though the air itself had changed. She was aware of her body, aware of her surroundings, yet unable to fully move or speak. What she felt next made her question whether she was dreaming, awake, or somewhere in between.She could hear her boyfriend nearby, hear the normal sounds of life continuing just beyond the walls. And yet, opening the door felt impossible—like crossing a boundary she couldn't return from.Even now, she can't explain where she was…only that it felt real enough to leave a mark.#RealGhostStories #ParanormalExperience #AstralEncounter #SleepState #Unexplained #TrueParanormal #SomethingTouchedMe #BetweenAwakeAndAsleep #ParanormalPodcast #StillDontKnow Love real ghost stories?

There's a word I don't use very often because, let's be honest—it sounds boring. Sober. But biblically, sober-minded doesn't mean dull, restricted, or missing out. It means clear, awake, steady, self-controlled, and grounded in truth. Scripture tells us to be sober-minded and watchful—not because God wants to take something from us, but because clarity gives us access to discernment, peace, and wise decisions. Here's what I see over and over again with women I work with: We don't just numb pain—we numb guidance. We numb conviction. We numb connection. Alcohol, busyness, scrolling, over-functioning… they all create noise. And when there's constant noise, it's hard to hear God. It's hard to trust yourself. It's hard to respond instead of react. A sober mind is a powerful mind. And here's the part we don't talk about enough: You don't sustain this kind of clarity alone. Sober-minded living requires support, truth-telling, and accountability—not labels, not shame, not perfection. That's exactly why I created the Collective. It's a space for women who want to live awake, grounded, and aligned—with faith, with their values, and with their lives. If you're done numbing. If you're craving clarity. If you want support instead of trying to do this on your own… You can learn more and join us through the link below. Sober-minded isn't boring. It's powerful. And it changes everything.

Stacey told police that her ex-boyfriend, Scott Baldwin, killed Earl O-Byrne, but they didn't believe her. So why, 12-years later, did the Kalamazoo Cold Case Team decide she was telling the truth? What will she say 25 years later when the PROOF team talks to her? The team also looks at another Kalamazoo cold case with similarities to Baldwin's: the 1991 murder of 27-year-old Christine Dimmick.

In this week's Best Of episode, Michael explores the ethic of not stealing, (asteya). The Zen master Dōgen offers a beautiful translation: “The self and the things of the world are just as they are. The gate of freedom is open.” At its heart, this teaching is about being content with what we have. Another way to say it is this: not taking anything that isn't freely given. Recorded in 2011. From the 4th video in Michael's online course, "Embodying Ethics & Vows in Modern Life," a nine-week program weaving Buddhist and yogic ethics into the fabric of daily life.

From skeletal faces in TV static to well-dressed spirits standing in hallways, these late-night witnesses share the terrifying things they saw while the rest of the house slept. | #WDRadio | WEEKEND OF JANUARY 25, 2026==========HOUR ONE: Investigators noted the hair on the alleged victim's arms was singed, and the skin burned. The grass where he claimed to have had the encounter was also scorched. Did this scoutmaster and the boys with him truly experience a real UFO sighting in 1952, or was it all a hoax? (The Scouts and the UFO) *** An atheist tells his story about being possessed by demons... or maybe he wasn't. (I Thought I Was Possessed By The Devil) *** Is the Thunderbird real or myth?  Most would say it is myth – or if it was real, it's now extinct. But then how do you explain sightings of the massive airborne creature as recently as 2018? (The Giant Thunderbird Lives) *** Sometimes, the darkness of night can hide frightening secrets. Especially if you are alone. (You'll Never Guess What Happened While You Were Asleep)==========HOUR TWO: Different peoples build their identity around different facets of their culture: the Italians around their food, the Greeks around their architecture, America around expanding waistlines. The Isle of Man, however, has pinned its identity today on low tax rates, motorcycle races and, oh yes… mermaids and fairies. (Catching Mermaids on Man) *** Would you be willing to eat your meals off the chest of a corpse, in the process, taking on their sins as your own? That's the gruesome job of a sin eater – and there were people willing to do it even into twentieth-century. (Would You Become a Sin Eater?) *** Dr Richard Gallagher is a New York psychiatrist and a psychiatric professor. He has spent twenty-five years viewing exorcisms – and he says 'fallen angels' target the devout AND those who've meddled with the occult. He says it outright – being possessed by a demon can and does happen, and he has seen it all too often. (Psychiatrist Says Demonic Possession Is Real) *** UK homeowners believe their homes are haunted and want to rid themselves of them, while Americans don't care if a house is haunted so long as it has a swimming pool! (Ghostly Homes And Ghost-Loving Buyers)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: Robert Ressler came up against a lot of resistance, but his dedicated focus on the minds and motives of serial murderers created what we know today as criminal profiling. (The Man Who Created Criminal Profiling) *** An atheist tells his story about being possessed by demons... or maybe he wasn't.
