Your identity in God is everything. When you don't know who you are in Him, the world will define you for you. Sarah Jakes Roberts reveals how Jesus transformed the woman caught in adultery in John 8. He didn't just remove her shame — he evened the playing field and helped her see her new reality. She was no longer under threat. But before she could step forward, she had to come into agreement with what was true. The enemy plants seeds to keep us self-conscious and paralyzed. Jesus uproots those seeds to empower us. Yes, it can feel like exposure. But His intention has always been to set you free. Then Sarah shows us Elisha's secret in 2 Kings 6. He knew who he was in God. He didn't question whether God would show up in crisis. He trusted God's strategy completely, and he even prayed for others to see what God sees. This is the powerful transformation that happens as we mature spiritually. We move from self-consciousness to kingdom impact, from wondering if God shows up to knowing He already has.

In this episode of Cultish, Andrew sits down with Ian Rose, a former member of The New Church, to explore the strange theology of Emanuel Swedenborg and the teachings that shaped Ian's life. Ian explains how Swedenborg's alleged revelations became foundational to the New Church, including its “internal sense” of Scripture, rejection of key biblical doctrines, works-based view of salvation, and unusual beliefs about heaven, angels, and the afterlife.  Most importantly, Ian shares how encountering the biblical gospel—salvation through Christ alone rather than his own works—ultimately led him out of the New Church and radically changed his understanding of Jesus, Scripture, and salvation.    Be Part of the Mission to Change Lives: HERE SHOP OUR MERCH: HERE

Two New York men take the long way through heartbreak. Brad Lawrence arrives in the city to become an actor while his girlfriend starts Columbia Law School, and their seven-year relationship goes cold almost on contact. Working two jobs and desperately lonely, he builds a nightly ritual of drinking far across town and riding the subway home drunk in the small hours, until one 3 a.m. ride lands him across the car from a woman he's sure he recognizes. Christopher Moncayo-Torres cannot stop walking past his ex's Bushwick duplex after a broken engagement. When he finds a stranger's wallet holding four hundred dollars, returning it becomes a project, and the restaurant where the owner works becomes the setting for a fresh-start fantasy that a pushy stranger at the bar keeps complicating.

A New Chapter for Sales & Cigars Sales & Cigars is changing. In this behind-the-scenes episode, Walter Crosby sits down with producer Mark Labriola II to talk about the next chapter of the podcast—and why it was time to make a shift. After years of remote conversations, the show is moving toward a more immersive, in-person format with stronger production, longer conversations, and a much bigger emphasis on cigars. But the core of the show isn't changing. Sales, entrepreneurship, leadership, and the real experiences behind building a business will still drive the conversation. The difference is that those topics will now come through more naturally—over cigars, face-to-face, in environments designed for deeper and more interesting conversations. Walter and Mark talk candidly about Zoom fatigue, storytelling, production value, building authority through podcasting, and why the best conversations often happen when you stop trying to force the "perfect" interview. Consider this your preview of what's coming next.   Episode Highlights Why Sales & Cigars is changing its format Moving away from primarily remote interviews toward in-person conversations Why listeners are experiencing Zoom and remote-video fatigue Bringing cigars further to the forefront of the show Creating more natural conversations around sales and entrepreneurship Why face-to-face conversations create different energy Increasing the production quality of the podcast Moving toward longer-form conversations driven by chemistry rather than a rigid clock The role podcasting can play in building authority and thought leadership Creating more short-form content between full episodes Taking Sales & Cigars into cigar lounges and potentially other cities What listeners can expect from the upcoming season   What's Changing More cigars. Cigars will become a bigger part of the conversation—not simply as branding, but as a way to learn about guests, their stories, and the experiences that connect people around them. More in-person conversations. Instead of another remote video call, Walter will increasingly sit across from guests and let conversations unfold naturally. Better production. The new episodes will feature stronger visuals, better sound, and environments that better reflect the personality of Sales & Cigars. Longer conversations. Rather than forcing every episode into the same structure, conversations will go as long as the chemistry and subject matter warrant. The same business value. Sales, leadership, entrepreneurship, and growth remain at the heart of the show. The goal is simply to uncover those lessons through more organic conversations.   Why the Change? Remote podcasting made conversations possible during a period when nearly everything moved online. But today, many people spend their entire workday moving from one virtual meeting to another. Another split-screen interview can easily become something to scroll past. The new Sales & Cigars aims to create something different: the feeling that you're sitting in the room while two people have a conversation you actually want to hear. The objective is still to educate—but also to entertain, tell better stories, and create the kinds of conversations that lead to unexpected ideas.   Who Should Listen This episode is especially valuable for: Longtime Sales & Cigars listeners wondering what's next Entrepreneurs who enjoy candid conversations about business Sales professionals looking for practical ideas without another scripted interview Cigar enthusiasts interested in the stories behind what people smoke and why Business owners using content to build authority and grow their brand Anyone interested in the behind-the-scenes evolution of a podcast   Want to Be Part of the New Format? Have a great cigar story? An entrepreneurial journey worth talking about? A sales lesson learned the hard way? As Sales & Cigars expands its in-person format, Walter and the team are looking for interesting people and conversations—potentially from cigar lounges and cities around the country. Reach out to the Sales & Cigars team if you think there's a conversation worth having.   Continue the Conversation The same philosophy behind the new Sales & Cigars format also drives the Sales Integrator Community: better conversations, practical learning, and access to ideas that help sales professionals improve. The community is built specifically for salespeople and sales managers who want an edge and want support from someone who has spent more than 40 years learning the profession the hard way. Inside, members can access coaching insights, practical sales tools, resources, and ongoing conversations designed to help them get better at the craft. Free forever.

What has our attention determines what we reflect. In “Take Another Look,” Sarah Jakes Roberts reminds us that being made in God's image isn't just about who we are — it's about what we reflect. Shame, fear, trauma, and failure can shift our focus, but they don't change who God says we are. When we turn our attention back to God and behold who He is, He transforms how we see ourselves, how we show up, and how we live out what He has called us to do. This message encourages you to take another look at who God is — and who He says you are.

Welcome back to another episode of the Talk My Credo Podcast!This week, the crew reacts to the controversy surrounding Earn Your Leisure's Rashad Bilal and comments expressing frustration with the Black community.But the conversation quickly becomes much bigger than one person.What happens when Black creators, entertainers, entrepreneurs, and public figures begin to “cross over”?Is expanding beyond a predominantly Black audience simply growth—or can that transition sometimes become a rejection of the very community that helped build the platform?The crew digs into the difference between evolution and erasure, asking whether success requires changing who you are, softening your identity, or distancing yourself from Black audiences in pursuit of greater mainstream acceptance.We also discuss authenticity, knowing when change is necessary, and whether adapting your presentation means compromising yourself—or simply growing.Later, The Shenanigan Report brings plenty of laughs and debate as we discuss Lionel Richie's comments involving Chris Brown and Usher, backlash against a school principal for setting standards, Donald Trump being Donald Trump, first-date questions, and one of Dee's funniest stories yet.In this episode:

In this episode of Cultish, Jerry and Andrew revisit the disturbing story of Jim Jones and the tragedy of the Peoples Temple. But rather than simply retelling the events of Jonestown, we dig deeper into the worldview that shaped Jones, including the influence of New Thought and its ideas about God, humanity, and the power of the mind. How did these spiritual ideas intersect with Jones' increasingly radical political ideology and his demand for absolute loyalty?  We also examine Jones' rhetoric surrounding “revolutionary suicide” and play chilling archival testimony from Peoples Temple members who professed their willingness to die for the cause. What happens when spiritual deception, political revolution, and devotion to a charismatic leader become intertwined? Join us as we revisit Jim Jones and explore the beliefs behind one of the most infamous cult tragedies in modern history. Be Part of the Mission to Change Lives: HERE SHOP OUR MERCH: HERE

Two comedians with two very different things to stop hiding, expose themselves in turn: Calvin S. Cato is queer, twenty pounds lighter than he used to be, and willing to do almost anything to perform for more than three people and a sad disco ball. When a friend suggests the Naked Comedy Show, Calvin signs up on the strength of two words: "sells out." He does not ask a follow-up question. By the time he learns what "naked" actually means, he has already invited his entire art gallery. Uriah Wesman moves to LA to be a one-liner comedian and bottoms out performing in the back of an ice cream shop, where his jokes are so bad they ruin the ice cream. A comedy club GM asks him one simple question about himself, and Uriah casually mentions his parents were in a doomsday cult. Then corrects himself: three cults. Then mentions the kidnapping. Then the sword. Uriah spent years hiding behind a character on stage because if the audience rejected the character, it wouldn't hurt. Putting the real childhood on stage is the risk that actually connects. Be Part of RISK!

Your breaking is not punishment. It's preparation. Touré Roberts discusses what God is doing in Israel's wilderness wanderings in Deuteronomy Chapter 8. They think they are being punished, but what they don't understand is that the wilderness is a place of development. God is teaching them humility, building dependence, and preparing them for something they've never experienced. What does your wilderness look like? When God humbles you, He's protecting you from pride. When He causes you to hunger, He's repositioning your appetite from stuff to substance. This message helps you discover what God is building in your breaking season and reaffirms that trusting God is the admission price for your blessing.

In this episode of Cultish, the Super Sleuth sits down with Craig to examine a recent video in which Hayden Carroll critiques Reformed theology. Together, they analyze his arguments, address several misrepresentations of Reformed doctrine, and explain what Reformed theology actually teaches. Rather than responding with emotion, this episode seeks to offer a careful, biblical, and charitable critique while presenting the historic Reformed position in its proper context.  As Christians, we have a responsibility to represent the beliefs of those we disagree with accurately before offering criticism. Throughout this discussion, we demonstrate where Hayden's presentation falls short of that standard. Whether those inaccuracies stem from a misunderstanding of Reformed theology or a failure to engage with it carefully, listeners can judge for themselves as we examine the claims one by one.

What happens when fear locks you out of the life God has called you to live? This week's Walk It Out Wednesday takes you deeper into Sarah Jakes Roberts' message, “The Same, But Different,” exploring what it means to trust God when fear, grief, and uncertainty shake your faith.

With Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey bringing Homer's ancient epic back into the spotlight, Cultish sits down with Professor Owen Anderson to explore what lies beneath the gods, monsters, and legendary hero's journey. From the polytheistic world of Homer to the deeper spiritual ideas that have shaped Western storytelling, the conversation asks whether Nolan is simply adapting a pagan classic—or transforming it into something very different.  What if Odysseus' greatest enemy isn't Poseidon, the Cyclops, or the journey home—but his own sin?  And what if this ancient pagan story ultimately points toward something the Greek gods could never provide: redemption?    The conversation explores the striking contrast between the traditional pagan hero's journey and what Professor Anderson describes as a distinctly Christian arc of sin, confession, sacrifice, and redemption. Along the way, the episode examines Greek mythology, the biblical worldview, the spiritual reality behind pagan gods, and the enduring influence Christianity has had on the way the Western world understands stories like The Odyssey.

Fox Emerson moves to Milan with his husband for a fresh start, then lets a charismatic man he met in Atlanta follow him there. The man settles into the apartment, grows colder and stranger by the day, and one late-night argument escalates until Fox is the one in handcuffs, alone in an Italian jail cell with no idea why. Patrick Holbert convinces himself his marriage is quietly open, books an appointment with a dominatrix in Queens, and spends the next six weeks deciding whether to tell his wife. His confession lands nothing like he pictured. Funny, filthy, and more honest about marriage than he probably planned. Both men skipped the conversation that might have changed everything.

What if the chaos you're facing isn't the end of your story but the backdrop for what God is creating next? “The Same, But Different” draws from John 20, where Jesus meets His disciples in the middle of their fear and chaos, speaks peace, and breathes new life into them. Their circumstances hadn't changed, but they were about to. Through her own testimony of surviving a life-threatening season, Sarah Jakes Roberts reminds us that God doesn't always remove the chaos or give us the answer.

Live from Reno in April 2014, three first-time RISK! storytellers turn a single night into a run of proposition, prophecy, and psychedelic reckoning. Virginia Munsterman is a 20-year-old college student scraping by as a barista when a new job as a chiropractor's assistant lands her at a business conference in Clearwater, Florida. The company's multimillionaire CEO zeroes in on her immediately, and over two days his attention escalates from flattery and magic tricks to a yacht tour and a dinner where he asks her to give him the next 15 to 20 years of her life in exchange for his fortune. Jessica Levity is driving cross-country to Reno with her brother when a detour to the clearest lake in Kansas turns into a three-day stay with a self-proclaimed shaman named Lone Wolf. He shows up at their campsite with a bottle of ketchup Jessica had forgotten to buy, claiming the Great Spirit told him to bring it, and offers to reveal the hidden history of the Earth. His teachings turn out to include an antisemitic alien-hybrid origin theory for Jewish people, and Jessica and Teddy have to figure out how much of any of it to believe. Steve Emmerich grows up gay and Catholic in Cincinnati, suppressing an identity that doesn't fit the blueprint he was given. At a massive Phish festival in Maine, high on several substances at once, he breaks down crying when a vision presents him with two doors and realizes he doesn't recognize himself in either one.

During this intimate worship night, we truly walk out the message from Sunday's sermon with our own post-moving praise service. What takes place is a powerful display of what revival truly means. Through worship and prophetic speaking, we learn that revival should be the natural rhythm of a life surrendered to God. The message is clear: Something has to break before God can revive it. God is tearing down the idols we've fractured, broken, and rebuilt, and He's inviting us to leave them down. If we want to rejoice in His salvation, we must stop rebuilding what God has torn down. Revival comes when we finally surrender.

Kenice Mobley grew up on a 1999 movie fantasy of the woman who travels the world, says yes to everything, and never flinches. As an adult she follows that ideal into a Paris sex club, a single shared baguette, and a straight-faced argument about whether taking your clothes off makes anyone free. It's all fun and game right up until it turns into a question about who a room actually wants. (Content note: suicide) Richard Velazquez is fifteen in 1986, newly out of a Jehovah's Witness childhood, and living with his drug-dealing father, when he walks onto a Lower East Side corner for his first crack sale. What he is really carrying is fear: of demons, of prison, of turning into the man in front of him. When his first customer hits the pipe and collapses, every childhood terror comes back at once.

Your voice, your cry, your worship — they have the ability to move the hand of God. Pastor Sheryl Brady reminds us that worship isn't passive. When singers and dancers preceded Israel into battle in the Old Testament, their enemies weren't frightened by their talent. They trembled because of the manifested presence of God that worship stirs up. Yet, we often burden our worship leaders and teams to carry what should come from within us. Our thirst for righteousness dictates our worship. Jesus paid a debt we couldn't pay. That alone is worth contending for. This is the season to stop loving God from a distance. Contend for His presence. Cry out for His glory. Watch what happens when His presence enters a room. Worship transports us from one dimension into another. It invites heaven into earth and changes circumstances. We can't survive without Him. The sooner we abandon comfort and embrace this truth, the sooner our praise will follow. Message: “A Post Moving Praise” Scripture: Habakkuk 2:14 (KJV), Isaiah 6:1-4 (KJV) Speaker: Pastor Sheryl Brady Date: Aug. 2, 2026 ✨ Welcome to Your Moment of Transformation You don't have to walk this journey alone.

Two people confront what it means to stay bound to someone who keeps letting them down. Tuesday Thomas, a trans woman in LA with a lifelong pull toward unavailable men, meets a charming match on a dating app. The chemistry is undeniable, right up until he looks her in the eye and warns her not to Google him. Her response becomes a very funny, surprisingly pointed argument about honesty and what commitment is really worth. Then David Hu comes home to the Bronx for Father's Day 2021 and finds his father, deep in dementia, suddenly and frighteningly ill. Amid COVID lockdowns and an overwhelmed nursing home, he and his mother face impossible choices about how to care for a man who is slipping away.

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.

Something has to die for us to see God clearly. In this intimate panel discussion, Pastor Venshard Dobbins, Pastor Cora Jakes, Dexter Jakes, Pastor Don Johnson, and Dr. Val walk us through Isaiah 6:1-8, unpacking what it means to recognize God high and lifted up. When King Uzziah's reign endswith his death, Isaiah sees the Lord — rightly. It becomes the mile marker that signals the start of his public ministry. This panel challenges us to examine what's obstructing our view of God's glory: insecurities, fear, disobedience, outsourced faith. They expose how we struggle to say no to everyone but God and how being broken is what makes us usable for His kingdom. You'll discover that your imperfections are exactly why God can use you and get the glory.

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.

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. He drives there in flip-flops, half feral, and the girls keep texting him back, begging him not to come. Then Robin Gelfenbien takes a small plane out of St. Louis, freshly heartbroken and dreading her return to New York. She circulates a notebook around fifty strangers with an invitation to write a story together, then sets her sights on convincing a flight attendant named Valentino to let her read it aloud before they land.

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.
