Marilyn Gilchrist is a professional dog trainer, and "Who Am I Now" is her conversation with Michael Shikashio, lifted from his podcast The Bitey End of the Dog. Kevin Allison sets it up and returns at the end with his own thoughts. This is a companion episode to Still Dog People: Two Truths, released earlier in the week. (Content note: graphic dog attack) An hour into a routine welfare check on a foster dog, Marilyn stood up to leave. The dog grabbed the lead, she dropped it exactly as she had twice already that afternoon, and every muscle in the dog went tense. The weeks after taught her that the wound in her leg was the smaller problem. She had built a career and a self on being good with dogs, and now she could not be in a room with one she did not know.

For the first of two Still Dog People episodes this week, John LaSala guest-hosts with his wife Kate LaSala, a professional dog behavior consultant. (Content note: graphic dog attack on a child) Jill Karliner watched her four-year-old twin sons head into the neighbors' backyard to play with the big kids. Minutes later, she heard a scream that changed how her family would live with dogs. In the years since, she has come to hold two truths that don't quite fit together. Kate joins John afterward for a wide-ranging discussion, drawing on her work in fear and aggression cases and her role as a companion animal end-of-life doula.

What is obstructing your ability to recognize God? Touré Roberts takes us into Isaiah's encounter with God — a moment that only became possible when earthly structures shook. Isaiah's breakthrough reveals the real issue: There was a gap between what he understood about God and what he was actually saying. His vision didn't match his words. This disconnect is exactly what revival addresses. Revival takes place when the church recognizes what it gradually forgot: The gospel of the kingdom is bigger than our preferences, our security, and our comfort. The solution? Full integration. When your eyes, heart, lips, and actions all align with God's kingdom, everything shifts. You recognize the fullness of His grace and power. That alignment can change the atmosphere around you. But before integration happens, something has to move. What are you leaning on? Success? Comfort? Relationships? Possessions? These false dependencies obstruct your view of God. They keep you from recognizing Him. But when your hunger for God is greater than your hunger for anything else, revival flows through you. Message: “You Better Recognize” Scripture: Isaiah 6:1-8 and 2 Peter 1:2-3 (NKJV) Speaker: Touré Roberts Date: July 19, 2026 ✨ Welcome to Your Moment of Transformation You don't have to walk this journey alone. Let Jesus guide your steps and fill your life with purpose and peace.

A classic RISK! episode from March 2014. Three live storytellers, three very different voices in the head. Vicki Tollemache spent her teens as the careful kid orbiting a wilder crowd. The summer before she turns 16, she decides to get her first kiss over with and arranges a late-night meeting with a boy she barely knows. The kiss becomes something she spends years trying to forget, for reasons she only understands much later. Kevin Allison hits the bottom of a lost decade with no career, no money, and no plan. He picks up a book about taking dictation from God and starts a notebook of his own, never sure whether the answers are wisdom or just his own voice talking back. Mollena Williams admits she's an alcoholic and lands in detox, where a four-foot hyena climbs out of the floor and refuses to leave.

What if the greatest breakthrough in your life isn't getting something new — but seeing Jesus more clearly? "How to Recognize God" unpacks how breakthrough and revival start in one place: a heart that's hungry for God's presence. And as our view of Jesus comes into focus, everything else does too — our words, our faith, our purpose, and the way we walk through everyday life. This wasn't just a message. It became an encounter. As worship filled the room, the Holy Spirit moved — through healing, through prayer, through ministry — meeting people right where they were, in ways that were deeply personal. If you've been longing to hear God's voice and feel His presence for yourself, let this one stir your faith. There's room for you in it.

Kevin launches a new classic RISK! series for Disability Pride Month, revisiting stories about life with a disability from episodes past. Amy Salloway takes a job as guest playwright at Entropy, a theater program for adults with multiple disabilities. On her first day, a charming client named Aaron falls at her feet. The interview quickly becomes something Amy knows is off-limits. Mary Gossett meets Andrew on the Plenty of Fish dating app. He's a wheelchair user. Their first months together are equal parts giddy first love and daily logistical negotiation. Then, on the morning of what was supposed to be a landmark day, Mary loses feeling on the right side of her body. (And thanks to Amy Salloway and Jeff Grell, who organized the Twin Cities RISK! fundraiser where Mary's story was originally recorded.) • Leave your comments to these stories and find episode details and music credits at risk-show.com/podcast/the-best-of-disability-stories • Find this and future Best of Disability Stories episodes at risk-show.com/disabilitystories  Be Part of RISK!

Two people learn something about protecting and being protected, one at a mall in lockdown, one on a plane full of strangers. (Content note: gun violence) Jon Rappoport is on a Zoom call in his home office when his wife bursts in with news that their twelve-year-old twin daughters are texting from a nearby mall about an active shooter and hiding in Macy's.

Then Robin Gelfenbien takes a small plane out of St. Louis, freshly heartbroken and dreading her return to New York.

Have you ever felt like you've run out of breath? Like life has taken so much from you that you're surviving, but not really living anymore? "I Just Need a Second Wind" opens up Ezekiel 37 and the valley of dry bones to reveal one powerful truth: God loves to restore what looks lifeless. He breathes fresh life right into it. Whether you've been worn down by loss, disappointment, trauma, or the slow drift of spiritual exhaustion, your dry season doesn't have to be your final stop. Just like Ezekiel, God is asking you to speak to the thing that looks impossible — and watch what seems lifeless start to live again. If you've been praying, believing, and wondering when things are finally going to move, let this be your reminder: the wind is still blowing, and God isn't finished with your story. Your second wind is coming.

This classic RISK! episode first aired in March 2014, and the four San Diego storytellers behind it cover a remarkable range, from white-knuckle confession to gleeful filth. Tommy Galan traces a drinking habit that began at age eleven and nearly cost him his family, until three little words from a bar owner reframe everything. Justin Hudnall grows up on the motto "you don't miss what you don't have," then goes looking for the Vietnam-veteran father he never met. (Content note: suicide, sexual abuse, eating disorder) Meanwhile, Joy Keller lands in Los Angeles broke and answers an ad promising pay to meditate, which pulls her toward a guru selling enlightenment by the thousands. And Lesley borrows a coworker's copy of the film Secretary and recognizes a desire she has hidden since childhood.

What happens when you feel broken beyond repair? When you're convinced you're too cracked, too compromised, too unusable for God's purposes? Dexter Jakes takes us to Jeremiah 18 to reveal what God actually does with broken vessels. The answer isn't abandonment — it's remolding. God doesn't discard His clay. He remakes it. And, yes, it requires crushing, pressing, and weight. If that's what you're feeling in your life, it's not a punishment. That's proof you're still on the wheel. You're still His assignment. This message reframes everything: Your fractures aren't disqualifications, they are windows. Your cracks are how God's glory escapes into the world. Being unfinished means you're still becoming. As The Potter's House celebrates 30 years, Dexter warns us of the greatest danger: not losing God but drifting so subtly that His presence slips away unnoticed. Yet there's hope. He can return the same way He left. The best is yet to come. You're not too broken. You're exactly who God wants to use.

Josh Healey is 17 and smitten with his drama club co-president when she casts him, a boy, in the first ever co-ed production of The Vagina Monologues. The soccer team has questions, the college feminists have objections, and the cast is heading toward open revolt. Amy Salloway, fresh off a massage therapist's humiliating refusal to touch her, lands at a size acceptance conference in Seattle. It turns out she's one of the only straight women in the building and starts to wonder if that's negotiable for a weekend. And Elna Baker arrives in Hollywood for the pitch meeting of her dreams while her own body quietly sabotages the room.

Some women reach the number they thought would make them feel safe and still feel anxious, vigilant, exhausted, or like there will never be enough. The problem is not that something went wrong. Sometimes, it is that everything went right, but the stories beneath the money never changed. In this episode, Dr. Felecia Froe shares what she has learned from women who have more money than peace. Wealth can fund a different life, but it cannot  rewrite fear, guilt of a scarcity mindset. True financial peace comes from knowing what your money is for and building toward a life that feels clear, steady, and aligned. 00:00 – When Financial Success Still Doesn't Feel Like Enough 02:20 – Why More Money doesn't Erase Old Stories 03:56 – Building Wealth vs Building a Financial Life 05:05 – Why Peace Has to Be Part of the Plan 05:57 – What Financial Peace Actually Looks Like 07:09 – The Cost of Avoiding the Inner Work 07:57 – Knowing What Your Money Is For   You've worked hard to build your career. Now let's build wealth that outlives it. You were born to build more than just wealth. You were born to lead, inspire, and rise. At Wealth B-Hers, we're redefining what it means to be financially fearless. Join a movement of bold women investing with intention, building legacies, and writing their own money rules.   Ready to take the first step? Visit our website - moneywithmission.com/wealth-b-hers/    Key Quotes: "The women I respect most financially are not the ones with the most. They're the ones who know exactly what their money is for, and who feel steady inside that answer." - Dr. Felecia Froe   "Wealth doesn't automatically replace the stories we carry about money." - Dr. Felecia Froe

In “The Victory Zone,” Touré Roberts reveals one of life's most-valuable lessons: The greatest battles in life aren't fought in the natural — they're won in the spirit. When we fight the right battle with the right weapons, everything changes. Whether you're battling fear, discouragement, addiction, or strongholds in your mind, God has already given you the weapons you need. Victory begins when you stop reacting to what you can see and start standing on what God has already spoken. The battle isn't over your future. It's over your focus. Before you fight what's happening around you, learn to win what's happening within you.

Long shots don't always pan out the way you hoped. Sometimes they catch fire. Sometimes they mug you. Shauna McGarry, a TV writer who can't shake her mother's thrift-store instincts, talks herself into a $2,500 used hot tub from a shady Craigslist dealer named Dan. Things don't turn out so great. David Crabb waitered through the days after 9/11 at one of the only open restaurants in lower Manhattan, listening to strangers unburden themselves over candlelight. By the end of the week he'd saved $900 for a U-Haul, and on the walk home from his last shift, drunk and carrying a magnum of wine, he felt an arm clamp around his neck and something jab into his ribs.

Your first response in warfare determines everything. In this Walk It Out Wednesday panel discussion, Pastor Venshard Dobbins, Pastor Cora Jakes, Pastor Don Johnson, and Dr. Oscar Williams walk through Acts 12-15, revealing the blueprint for standing solid when the enemy's attacks come. They expose what happened when Peter was arrested and faced execution. He didn't weep or plea, he slept. That's the peace that surpasses all understanding that scripture talks about. When the angel opened the door, Peter chose to walk through it. When the Lord provides the opening, we should take action. This panel challenges us to stop fleeing persecution and start maintaining a posture of faith in the midst of it. They also share that division isn't always the enemy's work. Sometimes, God separates us so we can multiply elsewhere. These questions anchor our discussion: • How do we relearn division in a positive context? • What's the difference between responding and reacting? • How do we discern God's division from the enemy's? • How do we recognize when to try new tactics in warfare?

Brittany Ross and Sam Feirstein are both hungry for it in this episode: the moment someone finally looks your way and says, yes, you. For Brittany, that moment arrives in the least expected form. She is in her early 20s, grinding through acting classes and princess gigs and bar shifts, desperate for anyone in Los Angeles to see her as the star she knows she could be. When a neighbor with an apparent break from reality begins accusing Brittany of following her through the apartment building, Brittany finds herself oddly reluctant to shut it down. The woman is unhinged, possibly dangerous, and giving Brittany more attention than anyone in Hollywood has managed in years. Sam's wound runs deeper. His story begins at a dressing room in a North Hollywood strip mall in 1976, where a single word from his mother sets off a decade of relentless bullying. By the time he lands at a commercial casting in the 1990s, surrounded by quarterbacks and cheerleaders, the kid who won a writing contest nobody noticed is just trying to get one person to see him as something other than a problem.

Warfare isn't bad news if you understand that victory is already secure. Touré Roberts unpacks a truth from Romans 5:1-5 that will fundamentally shift how you approach every battle. The real damage isn't the opposition itself. It's the distraction. The enemy's strategy is to pull you away from your purpose, your identity, and your authority. A healthy warrior stays mission-focused, not enemy-obsessed. While others are consumed by the battlefield, you're being conditioned to get better. Not waiting for things to improve but becoming who you're designed to be. Before there was a battle, there was victory. Before there was sin, there was a Savior. Remember: It's a fixed fight with a secured outcome. Watch and discover what you're actually being trained for.

Have you ever looked at your life and wondered, “How did I get here?” Many times, we don't recognize we're in a battle until something has already been lost — a relationship, our peace, or our sense of purpose and direction. But spiritual warfare isn't an event that suddenly begins. It's the reality we've been living in all along. In “This Means War,” Touré Roberts takes us back to the Garden of Eden to reveal how to overcome the enemy's schemes and how God prepared us for victory long before the battle arrived. The good news? Warfare may be the environment, but Christ's victory is still the promise. You may be in a battle, but you're not fighting for victory. You're fighting from it.

In San Francisco, 2014, four great storytellers took the RISK! stage at SF Sketch Fest: Stephen Tobolowsky was directing the New York premiere of The Miss Firecracker Contest with Holly Hunter in the lead and a stalker with a ticket for opening night. The question of whether to go on becomes a different question entirely when Holly disappears into the basement holding what looks like a butcher knife. Dana Gould spent years as pen pal and friend to Maila Nurmi, the actress who invented Vampira, destitute and barely known, living in a converted garage. He reads from the last letter he wrote her. (Content note: child sexual abuse) Nato Green landed a yard-work job at 16, took about fifteen years to figure out what his employer actually wanted, and has some thoughts on what actually protects kids. Brendon Walsh got his hat ruined, his face rearranged, his brass knuckles confiscated, and his name put on a court docket, in that order.

Pressure isn't a sign you're off track; it's God breaking up the ground so your harvest can grow. In this panel discussion, Pastor Venshard Dobbins, Dr. Val, and Pastor Don Johnson take us through Acts 6-10, revealing what real growth looks like when the foundation is tested. They challenge the myth that titles produce work, exposing that the most powerful servants were already doing the work before they ever received recognition. From Stephen's unwavering faith while being condemned to Philip's willingness to let go of the mantle so Paul could step into his purpose, this panel shows us that God doesn't promote titles, He promotes hearts. You'll discover that softening your heart daily, volunteering without expecting return, and keeping your eyes on Jesus instead of your accusers is what sustains you through pressure. These questions anchor our discussion: • Why do things become harder before recovery? • How do I soften my heart daily? • How do I check my spirit when volunteering, not to seek recognition? • What does it mean when God is trying to heal you, but you reject it? Watch the full conversation and discover how pressure produces purpose.

Two stories from people who found themselves in situations they didn't choose and had to figure out what to do from inside them. Guest-hosted by the captivating Cyndi Freeman. (Content note: references to torture) Sofia Javed is a Pakistani-American interpreter hired to work in Uzbek and Russian at Guantanamo Bay, where she is ordered not to sympathize with detainees and then immediately put to the test. What starts as a potential crisis in a cellblock turns on a single, surprisingly mundane demand. (Content note: physical abuse, domestic violence) Heather Minter grew up in an evangelical fundamentalist family that uprooted itself for the mission field in Papua New Guinea, leaving her and her brother in a boarding school dorm run by a cruel and volatile house father. The faith that held her together through childhood eventually came apart in college, and what filled the void turned out to be its own kind of trap.
