Read OnlineThe Lord said, “Pay attention to what the dishonest judge says. Will not God then secure the rights of his chosen ones who call out to him day and night? Will he be slow to answer them? I tell you, he will see to it that justice is done for them speedily.” Luke 18:6–8It's interesting that Jesus uses the example of a dishonest judge to illustrate the importance of praying to God, calling out to Him day and night for justice. As the parable goes, this judge cared little about a widow in his town who continually came to him asking for a just decision. He felt as though she was continually bothering him. Because she was so persistent, the judge thought to himself, “...because this widow keeps bothering me I shall deliver a just decision for her lest she finally come and strike me.” Jesus' conclusion from this parable is quoted above.The simple lesson we ought to learn from this parable is that we must be persistent in prayer. God will always answer our prayers, seeing to it that “justice is done” speedily. But many people have prayed and prayed and prayed for some situation, prayed even for justice, and it appeared that God did not answer their prayer. Thus, some may question the promise of Jesus that persistent prayer will always be answered and justice always be rendered.If this is your experience, it is essential that you remind yourself of two things. First, Jesus' words are true. When we persevere in prayer and trust in God, He hears us and answers. This is our Lord's unwavering promise. But secondly, the “justice” that God delivers may often be different than the justice we expect. It may be that we want someone to pay for a wrong they did to us, but after praying fervently, our expectation is not met by our Lord. For this reason, it is essential that we know that God answers every prayer we pray, but in accord with His perfect will and wisdom. Therefore, God's view of justice at times may be very different than ours. At times, His justice is satisfied by His invitation to us to show mercy in abundance. True mercy always satisfies justice.Take, for example, the case of someone speaking in a rude manner to you. If you offer that situation to our Lord, He will enter in and provide His grace for you to deal with it in accord with His will. Perhaps He will soften the other person's heart so that they apologize, or perhaps, if they don't apologize and their heart is not softened, then God's answer to your prayer will be to give you the grace of humility so that you can love that person despite their unrepentance. Regardless of the way our Lord intervenes, the fact remains that He will intervene and enable you to fulfill His perfect will. If, however, your prayer is that the person be held accountable and condemned, then you are trying to tell God what to do, and He will not accede to your request. All of our prayer must ultimately be for the fulfillment of God's perfect will in accord with His wisdom. Reflect, today, upon how completely you trust in God. Do you know, with certainty, that He will answer every prayer that you fervently pray with faith in accord with His divine will? Believing this is freeing and enables you to live more fully in union with Him. If there is some issue with which you struggle right now, even some apparent injustice, then entrust it to our Lord, day and night without ceasing, and know that His grace will guide you as He answers you in accord with His will.My all-wise Lord, Your will is perfect in all things, and You always bestow Your grace upon me when I pray without ceasing. Please give me a trusting Heart, dear Lord, so that I will never waver in my hope that You will always answer my prayers in accord with Your will. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: Parable_of_the_Unjust_Judge_(Granovitaya_palata,_1881-2)_2 by ilove truth, license Public Domain Mark 1.0 UniversalSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life!

Throwback Files: Mothman | Paranormal Podcast Welcome to the Throwback Files on The Mothman! This new series will allow us to explore older episodes that some of you newer listeners may not have had a chance to hear. We will include thoughts on why we chose each particular episode, along with new comments at the end of the episode. We hope you enjoy this new monthly throwback Thursday special. The Mothman: Mothman is a legendary humanoid creature reportedly seen in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, between November 1966 and December 1967, described by witnesses as a seven-foot-tall figure with glowing red eyes and large wings that pursued vehicles while making screeching sounds. The phenomenon began when two couples reported encountering the creature near a former WWII munitions plant, sparking widespread media coverage and numerous additional sightings throughout the region. Following the December 15, 1967, collapse of the Silver Bridge and the death of 46 people,[16] the incident gave rise to the legend and connected the Mothman sightings to the bridge collapse. Wildlife experts believe the Mothman legend likely originated from misidentified sandhill cranes or herons that had wandered outside their normal migration routes, as these birds match the physical descriptions and possess naturally reddish coloring around their eyes.

Whitney unpacks a recent article from New York Magazine: “The Therapy That Can Break You” about Internal Family Systems (IFS) and what can go wrong when trauma treatment crosses ethical lines. She discusses the dangers of working with fragile populations without proper training, and what to watch for when working with different therapeutic modalities. She then answers two listener questions about navigating estrangement as the family scapegoat and balancing support for a depressed parent without losing yourself.

The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 414 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden and Dr. Craig Spodak DESCRIPTION In this conversation, Peter Boulden and Craig discuss the importance of creating a strategic and autonomous team within an organization. They explore various leadership strategies, the significance of believing in team members, and the role of technology in problem-solving. The discussion emphasizes the need for resourcefulness, effective meeting structures, and the transformation of guilt into gratitude as leaders step back from day-to-day operations. Ultimately, they highlight the importance of scaling operations to better serve communities and reduce burnout among leaders. TAKEAWAYS Creating an autonomous team is essential for growth. Leaders must resist the temptation to solve every problem. Believing in your team is the first step to empowerment. Technology can be leveraged for efficient problem-solving. Resourcefulness is a key trait of effective leaders. Meetings should focus on identifying, discussing, and solving problems. Transforming guilt into gratitude enhances leadership effectiveness. Scaling operations can lead to greater community impact. Effective leadership involves stepping back to allow others to thrive. Decision fatigue can be mitigated by empowering teams.

"The strand of gold found in the familiarity of failure is that God is always arranging our circumstances behind the scenes for our favor and good. Believing this builds our trust muscles to rely on God rather than our own efforts. And then we know that our job is to work hard by doing what God has asked us to do, and we let Him handle the results."Leave a comment for Kristen: https://incourage.me/?p=255176--As the season of Thanksgiving approaches, embrace the spirit of gratitude and let friends and loved ones know how much they mean to you with DaySpring's collection of Thanksgiving cards!

If you were to put into a simple statement God's goal for Abraham it would be this: God made Abraham into a great father. Even his name reveals God's plan: Abram means "great-father" and "Abraham" means "father of many." When we read the story of his life we are reading about one of the major events in God's plan to offer eternal life to humans. Through Abraham and Sarah a family was begun which passed saving faith on to their children, one generation after another. In time this family grew into a nation and 1,400 years after that the Son of God was born as a member of that nation (Mt 1:1). Abraham was the first in a new strategy by which God would produce an unbroken chain of "saved" people from Abraham to the birth of Jesus. Believing parents, with a special burden placed on fathers, would pass their faith on to their children, who in turn would pass it on to their children. God's preparation of Abraham to be a father concerned much more than just his physical conception of a son. It required intense spiritual preparation so that he could pass on the kind of faith that brings the gift of righteousness (Ge 15:6) and the blessing of God's powerful presence (Ge 17:7,8). Today God still calls His followers to become anointed parents and there's still a special calling placed on men to be fathers.

What's standing between you and the "more" God has for you? This week, we sat down with Pastor James to break down his message "God's More Is Waiting — Will You Make the Move?" and talk about what it really means to trust God with what's already in your hands. We unpack why Jesus told the disciples, "You give them something to eat," what it looks like to move from lack to faith, and how God multiplies our small steps of obedience into something far greater than we imagined. We also dive into questions about surrender, generosity, and how to live with open hands. Believing that faith isn't about calculation, but participation. If you've ever felt like you don't have enough to offer or aren't ready to step out, this conversation will remind you that Jesus never asks for what you don't have, He starts with what you do.

Veteran Horror Stories | Paranormal Podcast In this special Veterans Day episode, we honor those who serve by sharing six chilling paranormal encounters experienced by military personnel during their time in service. We explore stories from soldiers stationed across the globe, from basic training at Fort Jackson to deployments in Korea, Iraq, and Afghanistan. The episode opens with a Fort Jackson trainee who witnessed a mysterious floating orb of light that behaved impossibly—appearing as a bouncing flashlight before suddenly veering off the trail, rising into the air, and vanishing just feet away from three startled soldiers. We then hear from a Marine patrolling a veterans cemetery alone at night who discovered an old weathered headstone with a glowing neon-blue cross and multi-voice humming that seemed to come from hundreds of sources at once, creating such an intense electric field that his hair stood on end. The encounters take darker turns as we share the story of a Marine sniper who describes his first kill in Fallujah and the terrifying sleep paralysis experience that followed, where he felt an entity crawl onto his chest and pin him down in the middle of the night. We also explore a British soldier's encounter with a mysterious voice warning "don't come in" from inside a chained building that turned out to be booby-trapped with mines and filled with bones from a Russian massacre. Additional stories include soldiers hearing phantom children's laughter in the Afghan desert where no children existed for miles, cadence calls echoing through empty training grounds at 2am, and an entire haunted government building in Iraq where Saddam Hussein allegedly executed dissidents.

What if “calm” isn't emotional regulation — but a trauma response? In this compassionate teaching episode, Amie Woolsey clarifies what emotional regulation really is (and isn't). Discover how to recognize suppression, spiritual bypassing, and fawning patterns — and learn how to come back to safety in your body without pretending to be “okay.”Perfect for anyone healing from betrayal trauma, addiction dynamics, or relational wounds.

Sexual Assault Survivor Stories Podcast with Dave Markel Guest: Anne Marie Hauben I'm honored to share this week's episode of The SASS Podcast with someone whose courage doesn't just echo across a microphone—it reverberates across decades of silence, retaliation, and survival: Anne Marie Hauben. Anne Marie isn't just a guest. She is a truth-teller, an advocate, and a woman who refused to let a lifetime of dismissal define her story. After more than 30 years of carrying the weight of an assault she endured at 18 years old, she decided she would not stay silent any longer. And in doing so, she carved out a path of empowerment for survivors everywhere who feel trapped between trauma and the societal forces that try to suffocate their truth. This conversation is raw, urgent, and profoundly human. Who Is Anne Marie Hauben? • She is a survivor of a 1990 sexual assault, perpetrated during a senior trip to Bermuda when she was 18 and extremely intoxicated. The reported perpetrator was Ward, a former city councilor in Melrose, Massachusetts. (AnneHauben.com) • Anne Marie endured decades of silence shaped by shame, traumatic memory, lack of parental safety, and the fear that telling the truth would bring more harm than healing. (Written testimony) • In 2016 and again in 2018, she privately confronted her perpetrator through personal messages seeking accountability, remorse, or even acknowledgment. Both attempts were ignored; the second resulted in her being blocked. (Testimony) • In 2023, when her perpetrator ran for city council, her trauma was violently retraumatized and shoved back into the light. The anxiety, fear, flashbacks, and PTSD symptoms became overwhelming, forcing her to grapple with her past in a public way to protect herself, her community, and other survivors. (Testimony) • She ultimately sought legal guidance and published a public statement so voters would know who they were electing. Instead of support, she faced a wave of defamation threats, intimidation, and a coordinated effort by community members to discredit her. (Testimony) • Today, she is a vocal survivor-advocate pushing for reform in defamation law, accountability in local government, protections for survivors, and cultural change around how we respond to sexual violence. (AnneHauben.com) • She uses her platform, Amplified Voice Healing, to speak openly about her story, help other survivors reclaim their voice, and educate the public about the patterns of retaliation, shame, and silence that protect perpetrators. (AnneHauben.com) Why I Asked Anne Marie to Be on the Show • Because I'm committed to giving survivors a place where they're believed, respected, and heard—and Anne Marie has spent her entire adulthood being silenced and attacked for speaking the truth. • Because her experience is a masterclass in how systems, communities, and defamation laws are weaponized against survivors who dare to speak out. • Because she embodies the intersection of trauma neuroscience, public accountability, and the lived experience of surviving both assault and decades of retaliation. • Because her voice is needed. For college students. For mothers. For anyone grappling with whether they're "allowed" to speak. For every survivor who worries they'll be called a liar, crazy, or unstable simply for telling the truth. • Because her story is not just her own. It is woven from the same cloth as Chanel Miller, E. Jean Carroll, Christine Blasey Ford, and every survivor whose truth confronted a powerful man shielded by convenience and denial. What We'll Explore in This Episode • The assault itself: what Anne remembers from that night in Bermuda, what trauma did to her memory, and what the aftermath looked like for an 18-year-old trying to survive without support. • The neuroscience of delayed disclosure: why trauma keeps victims silent for years or decades—and how shame, fear, and protective forgetting shape a survivor's timeline. • Retaliation, defamation threats, and silencing: how community members, friends of the perpetrator, and public officials weaponized intimidation against her to shut down her voice. • Rape culture in action: what happens when a small-town political ecosystem decides that a man's reputation is worth more than a woman's truth. • Healing, advocacy, and finding purpose: how Anne turned her pain into public testimony, activism, and a platform for educating others about accountability and survivor protection. My Personal Reflection I want to acknowledge Anne Marie's courage. What she carried for three decades would have broken many people. Yet she continues to speak out with clarity, strength, and conviction, not just for herself but for every survivor who has been told to stay quiet. Listening to Anne Marie share her story so openly, and hearing the resilience and emotional labor it took to put her truth into the public square, is proof that SASS is a platform is for victims and survivors to be able to further their pursuit of justice and the commitment to normalize the conversation. Anne Marie's experience is not just recounting a traumatic event—she's exposing the machinery that keeps perpetrators safe and survivors silent. I'm grateful Anne chose to trust me with her story. I'm grateful my listeners get to learn from her, feel with her, and rethink what accountability truly looks like. And I'm truly proud to have had her on this show. Audience Takeaway • No survivor owes anyone immediate disclosure. Trauma rewrites the rules of time. • Anne's experience is both a warning and a call to action. Rape culture is not theoretical—it's lived every day in the systems that dismissed and attacked her. • If you are a survivor: you're not alone. Your timeline is valid. Your truth is yours to tell when you are ready. • If you are part of a community, a school, a department, or a justice system: please pay attention. These patterns repeat everywhere. Silence is the abuser's best friend. • And if you've ever wondered why survivors take years to speak: this episode will change the way you think about trauma forever. Anne Marie, thank you for standing up, speaking out, and refusing to keep your pain quiet. And to our SASS listeners: brace yourselves. This episode is powerful, necessary, and is one of those important conversations I regularly bring to the podcast to help normalize the conversation about rape and sexual assault.

Sunday sermons from Main Street Baptist Church in Georgetown, TX - New episodes every Monday!

Some people don't want to hear any bad news. This can have serious consequences when it comes to spiritual matters. The Israelites also did this. They actually wanted their prophets to tell them only good things - or even lies - if it made them feel more comfortable. The true gospel message doesn't necessarily make you feel good, but it is important to face facts. Only then will you enjoy the blessings of God's good news. So, how about you? Do YOU believe what God says? Have you ever acknowledged your sin before God and accepted the just punishment for those sins? If you have, then there is a Saviour waiting for you! 

A clear definition of innocence AC 9262 [2] From all that has just been stated regarding innocence it may be seen that what is Divine and the Lord's cannot be received except within innocence. This being so, good is not good unless there is innocence within it, 2526, 2780, 3994, 6765, 7840, 7887, that is, unless there is the acknowledgement that from the self nothing but evil and falsity arises and that from the Lord comes all goodness and truth. Believing the former about the self, and believing the latter about the Lord and also desiring it to be so, are what constitutes innocence. Therefore the good of innocence is God's goodness itself coming from the Lord and residing with a person. So it is that 'the innocent' means a person governed by interior good and in the abstract sense means interior good. Innocence is the co-existence of the Lord and the hellish self AC 9301 [2] The innocence that dwells in wisdom consists in the man's knowing, acknowledging, and believing that he can understand nothing and will nothing from himself, and consequently in his not wishing to understand and will anything from himself, but only from the Lord; and also that whatever he supposes that he understands from himself is falsity; and whatever he supposes that he wills from himself is evil. This state of life is the state of innocence of the after state, in which are all who are in the third heaven, which is called “the heaven of innocence.” Hence it is that such are in wisdom, because all they understand and will is from the Lord.  But the innocence which dwells in ignorance, such as exists with infants and children, consists in believing that all they know and think, and also all they will is in themselves; and that all they speak and do from this thought and will is from themselves. That these are fallacies, they do not apprehend. The truths belonging to this innocence are for the most part founded upon the fallacies of the external senses; and these fallacies must be shaken off as the man advances toward wisdom. From these few words it can be seen that the good of innocence of the after state must not be conjoined with the truth of innocence of the former state. AC 10132[4]. It says that 'the wolf will dwell with the lamb' because 'the wolf' means those who are opposed to innocence, as also in the same prophet, The wolf and the lamb will feed together. They will not do evil nor destroy on all My holy mountain. Isaiah 65:25. And in Luke, Jesus said to the disciples whom He sent out, Behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves. Luke 10:3. [5] Since the Lord when He was in the world was — as to His Human — Innocence itself, and since for this reason innocence emanates wholly from Him, the Lord is called the Lamb, and the Lamb of God. Heaven and Hell 341 innocence is a willingness to be led by the Lord and not by oneself. Consequently, so far as a man is in innocence he is separated from his proprium, and so far as anyone is separated from his proprium he is in the Lord's proprium. The inner sense and literal sense in relation to innocence AC 7840...What is meant by the interior and the exterior good of innocence shall be briefly told. In every good there must be innocence that it may be good; without innocence good is as if without its soul. The reason is that the Lord flows in by means of innocence, and by means of it vivifies the good with those who are being regenerated. The good which innocence vivifies is internal and external; internal good is with those who are called men of the internal church; but external good is with those who are men of the external church. Men of the internal church are they who have qualified their good by means of interior truths, such as are those of the internal sense of the Word; but men of the external church are they who have qualified their good by means of exterior truths, such as are those of the literal sense of the Word. 

Todd Caponi, bestselling author of The Transparency Sale and The Four Levers of Negotiation, breaks down the 7 Deadly Negotiation Sins that cost salespeople deals, margins, and trust. If you think discounting accelerates deals, holding price until you “build value” is smart, or trading discounts for case studies is harmless, Todd's about to rewire your negotiation mindset. Learn how to close faster, discount less, and build buyer trust using the same transparent negotiation tactics that world-class sellers use to win more and protect their price integrity. THE 7 DEADLY NEGOTIATION SINS: Waiting to set a price range or expectation: Delaying price discussions kills trust and confuses buyers. Set clear pricing expectations early to establish credibility and value. Believing discounts accelerate deals: Discounts often slow deals by signaling hidden flexibility. Instead, pay customers for mutually valuable timing commitments. Giving away free stuff because you think it doesn't matter: Every concession tells buyers your price isn't final. Align every trade to something meaningful using the Four Levers framework. Paying for case studies with discounts: Buying advocacy erodes authenticity. Earn your case studies through real customer success, not transactional discounts. Creating false certainty when clients ask you to “hold pricing”: Avoid rigid yes/no responses. Use transparent negotiation levers to guide timing and reinforce the value behind each date commitment. Talking about value at the goal line: If you're re-selling value during negotiation, it's too late. Communicate and reinforce value throughout the sales process before the proposal stage. Anchoring high instead of anchoring to truth: In today's transparent market, inflated anchors destroy trust. Stick to honest, consistent pricing—because if the truth won't sell it, don't sell it.

From IBM and Microsoft to serving as Chief Business Officer at Google X, Mo Gawdat has spent over three decades at the forefront of technology and innovation. Today, the bestselling author turns his engineer's mind toward life's biggest question: how can we live well and meaningfully in an age defined by artificial intelligence? This monumental 2.5 hour episode, which Mo Islam called “the best I've ever shot”, is a journey through life, loss, and the future of humanity.Mo Gawdat opens up about his late son Ali and the lessons that inspired ‘Solve for Happy', before diving into the decade of disruption ahead: from the rise of AI and autonomous weapons to universal basic income and the impending economic reset. Together, the two Mo's explore why Arabs are so misunderstood in the West, how ethical AI must be grounded in love and empathy, and how the Middle East can lead the next wave of innovation.  They challenge the failures of modern education, the grip of the military-industrial complex, and even the mysteries of the space-time continuum, all while searching for meaning in what Mo calls the “legendary level” of modern life. A very big thanks to Merwas Studios in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for inviting us to shoot in their WORLD CLASS Studios! 00:00 Intro03:18 IBM, Microsoft & Google X05:07 Losing Ali: The Moment Everything Changed09:27 Writing Solve for Happy11:41 Leaving Google & Launching “1 Billion Happy”13:35 Living with Loss17:05 Fate, Life & the Interconnectedness of Everything23:04 Death as the Opposite of Birth26:02 The Video Game of Life31:23 Ali's Death & Mo's Purpose34:53 Redefining Success: Impact over Ego38:54 Learning, Curiosity & Creation44:08 Solitude & Silent Retreats49:01 Meditation Practices55:13 Mindfulness in Daily Life57:06 The Loneliness Epidemic1:01:02 East vs. West: Community vs. Individualism1:05:10 Surveillance, Privacy & the Illusion of Security1:08:11 Raising Children in a Broken World1:11:03 The Collapse of Capitalism & the Rise of AI1:21:16 China vs. The West1:24:06 The Illusion of Stock Markets & Institutional Control1:30:03 War Economics: How Weapons Drive Profit1:35:19 Humanity's Awakening & Questioning the System1:41:08 Reclaiming the Arab Narrative1:47:27 Building Ethical AI1:52:18 Entrepreneurship, Self-Reliance & Believing in the Region2:00:03 Education is Broken2:07:03 Business vs. Capitalism: Purpose Over Profit2:10:00 Reclaiming Global Perception2:17:13 Governance, Fairness & Leadership in the Arab World2:22:06 Living in Uncertain Times2:25:17 The Ultimate Video Game of Life2:26:57 Closing Reflections

Should We Continue in Sin after Believing? (2025-11-5) Live Wednesday Evening Service with Pastor Don Ragsdale

Doubt can feel like a relentless pinball machine in our minds, tossing us back and forth between yes and no. James 1:6-8 reminds us that double-mindedness makes us unstable, but when we approach God with decisive faith, we unlock clarity, confidence, and spiritual stability. Trusting God—even when uncertainty creeps in—empowers us to act boldly and live by faith, knowing that His grace can make any situation right. Highlights Double-mindedness creates instability; decisive faith brings clarity and confidence. Replace “I don’t know if He will” with affirmations of trust: “God, I know you are able and faithful.” Draw a line in the sand when doubt arises—choose to trust God even after decisions are made. God’s grace can make any choice right; mistakes do not diminish His ability to work. Acting in faith strengthens our relationship with God and glorifies Him through unwavering trust. Practical exercises: affirm God’s faithfulness, thank Him for peace, and take confident action. Faith becomes alive when we trust God’s goodness and promises in real-life situations.

Full Transcript Below: Super Practical Ways to Defeat DoubtBy Kelly Balarie Bible Reading:But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.” – James 1:6-8 NKJV I sat at the restaurant, menu in hand. Frankly, I didn’t know a restaurant could have so many options to choose from. Trying to decide, I think, “Maybe I’ll get this… No, I’ll get that.” Minutes later, I think, “What about this?” My friend announces what they’re getting. . . Hmm… They’re getting that? Maybe I should, too. Mind like a pinball machine, changing directions a mile a minute –left, right, up, and down. Ahh! Now I really don’t know what to get. As soon as I decide, I consider the other way...Frankly, I am in the dead-heat of double-mindedness, or quadruple-mindedness, for that matter…. Ever been there? Doubting? Uncertain? Wavering? Believing the answer is yes, and then wondering if it is no? Wanting to go one way, but questioning if it is right? Scripture talks to us about double-mindedness and prayer when it says: “But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.” (James 1:6-8 NKJV) This scripture helps us see that there is power when we move from double-mindedness to decisiveness. Why? Because decisiveness leads to confidence, clarity, and stability in the Lord. We want these things. And we also want great faith; confidence in the Lord is a key ingredient of faith. What does this look like practically? Instead of saying, “I don’t know if it is okay that I am asking God for this and so I doubt He will do it or if He really wants me praying this,” instead, we can say, “God, I am sure you will answer me about this, even if you come with fresh direction.” Instead of saying, “I don’t know if He will do it,” we can say, “God, I know you are more than able. I thank you that you are able. Oh, how I am confident in you and your faithfulness.” Then, take action -- with resolute determination to trust Him – all the way through. Now, I know… often, this is more easily said than done. I get it. When push comes to shove, or when life has a rub – it sure can feel hard. So, what do we do when doubt tries to creep up again? Sometimes, we must remind ourselves that even if we get things wrong, God is big enough to make things right. Grace is more powerful than any bad decision or even our best decision! More important than getting it right is remembering that God can make it right – even when we get it all wrong. Here, we can attach faith to any decision, eradicating double-mindedness to walk in God's confidence. God is able, even when we were not. For instance, say I prayed and felt peace about buying a car, so I bought it. If, afterward, I feel guilty because I have a sense I spent too much money, I may be inclined to doubt. However, I have the power to stop myself right there by drawing a line in the sand. As I draw this line, I can say, “God, I trust you. I choose to trust you, by faith, in the gap of my finances. I remember how you gave me peace when I bought the car. Thank you for that peace. Now, I ask you to direct me in the way you have me go with this car and my finances. No matter what, I am not looking back, but instead, I am trusting you. You will lead me. I am believing, by faith, that you will use this car in special ways, for your glory. I am not looking back, not fearing, and not doubting. I am not going to be tormented. I trust you to help me. Thank you, Jesus!” Here, a line is drawn in the sand that says: “Nope, I still trust you, God.” God is tremendously glorified, within our sure heart, when we are unwaveringly trusting in His good heart to help us. Intersecting Faith & Life: Do we believe God is good? I’ve noticed that if I don’t trust someone, I will not trust them when they say they are going to do something. It may sound odd, but we can’t say we trust when we don’t trust. We can’t easily follow God if we think He has only bad things in store for us. Why not take a moment and ask yourself if you really trust God? If you really believe His promises? How are you showing it in your life? In what ways are you finding your faith alive and active?

The Montauk Project | Paranormal Podcast In this episode, we dive deep into one of the most controversial conspiracy theories in paranormal history—the Montauk Project. We start by exploring the very real Camp Hero military base located on the easternmost tip of Long Island in Montauk, New York, which operated from World War II through the Cold War era. Originally disguised as a quaint fishing village to fool German U-boats, the base later housed a massive 90-foot radar tower that remains standing today as the only survivor of twelve similar installations. After the base was officially abandoned in 1981 and later transferred to the National Park Service, strange stories began to emerge. We introduce Preston Nichols, an electrical engineer who claims to have discovered his own repressed memories of working on secret experiments at the facility, and Duncan Cameron, a gifted psychic who mysteriously knew intimate details about the base despite claiming he'd never been there before. We then explore the disturbing allegations at the heart of the Montauk Project conspiracy, which include mind control experiments, time travel research, and the abuse of thousands of children in underground tunnels beneath the base. According to Nichols and Cameron's recovered memories, the project involved a device called the "Montauk Chair" that could amplify psychic abilities to manifest physical objects, open portals through time and space, and even conjure creatures from thin air. We discuss the project's alleged connections to the Philadelphia Experiment, MK-Ultra's documented mind control programs, and theories involving alien collaboration.

I'm so honored to share this week's episode of The SASS Podcast with someone who is far more than a guest—he's a mentor, a guiding light, and a dear friend: Dr. David Lisak, PhD. I've personally known David since 1992, when I met him at a training conference where we were both teaching on rape and sexual assault investigations. From those early days of my journey into trauma-informed investigations, inspired by David, he set the bar for what rigorous, compassionate, science-based work looks like. I'm grateful every day that our paths crossed. Who is David Lisak? David is a clinical and forensic psychologist whose career has been defined by an extraordinary depth of research into interpersonal violence, sexual assault, and the long-term impact of childhood abuse—especially in men. (House Docs) He earned his PhD from Duke University and later served as Associate Professor of Psychology at University of Massachusetts Boston. (Wikipedia) His research includes seminal work on so-called "undetected rapists" — men who committed sexual assault but were never prosecuted — helping shift how the criminal justice system and institutions think about serial offending and victim vulnerability. (TIME) He is a founding board member of 1in6 — a nonprofit dedicated to supporting male survivors of childhood sexual abuse and trauma. (House Docs) David's work has had real-world reach: trainings across every U.S. state, consultation with the military, and involvement in major judicial and prosecutorial education efforts on sexual assault. (kirtland.af.mil) On a personal level, David is himself a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. He turned that lived wound into a mission: to break silence, deepen understanding, and empower both survivors and the professionals who serve them. (1in6.org) Why I Asked David to Be on the Show Because when I think about trauma-informed interviewing, especially in the sexual assault realm, nobody blends the neuroscience, the forensic rigor, the interviewing technique, and the survivor-centered ethos quite like David. Because I've seen firsthand how he mentors (me and others) with humility, curiosity, and a deep commitment to doing no additional harm. Because our book and masterclass work (on trauma-informed investigations) simply wouldn't be as strong without grounding from his research and example. Because the connection is personal. As someone in this field, you hope for a few mentors who walk the talk. David is one of those. I'm deeply honoured to have him here, and I want our audience to know just how lucky we are to learn alongside him. What We'll Explore in This Episode The neuroscience of trauma in sexual assault: what happens in the brain and how knowing that changes how we interview survivors. The dynamics of perpetration: David's research on serial offenders, undetected rapists, and how institutions often miss the patterns. Interviewing victims without retraumatizing: practical tactics, grounded in empathy, science, and the deep lessons David has gleaned over decades. What it means to bring a trauma-informed lens into the criminal justice system: both the opportunities and the hard realities. David's personal journey: how his own survival informed his work, and how hope and resilience can coexist with the gravity of this subject. Some Notable Highlights & Quotes In one of his foundational works, David describes the paradox-that despite sexual assault being treated as one of the most serious crimes, the vast majority of rapes are never prosecuted—and the myths around victim behavior and perpetrator profile still linger. (static.csbsju.edu) His 2002 study, "Repeat Rape and Multiple Offending Among Undetected Rapists", revealed very sobering statistics: among a sample of men who had self-reported acts meeting the legal definition of rape, the average number of rapes per offender was roughly six. (TIME) David is quoted in a military base article saying: "Sexual violence is a global problem. It affects every institution and community. The only question: Is it confronted with honesty and commitment?" (kirtland.af.mil) From his story on 1in6: "He turned from farming to psychology… He transformed his early traumatic experiences into a career of research and clinical work, focused on trauma." (1in6.org) My Personal Reflection David, I want to say directly: your friendship, your mentorship, your unwavering standard have meant more to me than I can adequately express in these notes. You have modeled for me what it means to combine rigorous science with deep compassion; to enter the "hard space" of sexual assault investigation without turning away; to always center the survivor's lived experience while equipping professionals with clear, actionable insight. Having you on the SASS Podcast feels like coming full circle. I'm proud, humbled, and ready to dive deep with you. Audience Takeaway (for them to remember) Think of this not just as a "talk episode" but as an opportunity: with David here, you'll be challenged to think differently about trauma, interviewing, and systems of response. If you work in criminal justice, victim advocacy, forensic interviewing—or even just care deeply about supporting survivors—tune in with a notebook handy. David brings insights you'll want to capture. And if you're a survivor or know one: you'll hear someone who both understands the science and honors the person behind the trauma. That combination is rare—and precious. Thank you, David, for accepting my invitation, for journeying with me into this space, and for being the kind of mentor I've aspired to be like. And to our listeners: brace yourselves for one of the richest conversations we've had on The SASS Podcast. An important side note: if you're finding value in this show and these amazing episodes, please take a moment to leave a 5-star rating on your podcast platform. AND, follow SexualAssaultSurvivorStories on Instagram, then, please send me a note of support. I can't tell you how much your emails mean to me—they fuel my passion to keep this podcast going. And if you're a victim or survivor and are ready to tell your story in order to help yourself or someone else heal, let me know, and we can start a conversation about the possibility of you being on the show. Here's my email address: dave@sasstories.com Thank you to all of you who have reached out to me already. Just provide me with a phone number where I can reach back out to you…because I like to talk to people who are interested in guesting.

Bible version: NRSVUE (New Revised Standard Version Updated) The common view is that God is three persons in one being or substance. Each of the persons is fully God, but the Father is not the Son, the Son is not the Spirit, and the Spirit is not the Father. Problem 1: Believing that God is three persons contradicts scriptures that speak of God as a singular individual—as a one, not a plurality (Deut. 4:35, 39; 6:4-9; Isa. 43:10-11; 44:6; 45:5-6; 1 Kgs. 8:60; Mal. 2:10; Mark 12:28-34; John 17:3; Rom 3:30; Eph 4:6; 1 Tim. 2:5; Jas. 2:19). Just imagine how well-known scriptures would change if God were three persons (John 3:16; Jer. 29:11). Problem 2: If God were three persons we find serious logical difficulties. Questions multiply. Why doesn't the Bible say God is three persons or explain the idea? Why wasn't it included in the preaching in the book of Acts? How is belief in three persons not tritheism? If the spirit is a person, what's his name? Why doesn't anyone pray to the spirit? Why doesn't the spirit receive worship or give greetings? Problem 3: The tri-personal idea slowly evolved over time. Tertullian first used the word trinitas, but didn't recognize the Father, Son, and Spirit as coequal. Origen of Alexandria developed the concept of eternal generation, but he too believed the Father was greater than the Son. It's not until Gregory of Nazianzus in the mid to late fourth century that we get a clear statement of God as three persons in one being (Fifth Theological Oration 31). Solution: The Bible teaches that the Father is the only true God (John 17:3), Jesus is his Son, the Messiah, and the spirit is their presence in the world.The post Who Told You That?

This episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosted by Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton, takes a direct look at one of the most unspoken realities in law enforcement: staying in a career out of financial obligation (Amazon Affiliate), identity attachment, or emotional survival—not passion. We break down how many officers find themselves trapped in what's often called the "Paycheck Prison." The benefits are good. The pension feels too close to walk away from. The overtime is necessary. And the identity of being "the officer" feels too deeply stitched into who you are. But staying in a job that's crushing your mental and emotional health has long-term consequences—not just for you, but for your family, your spirit, and your sense of purpose.

They have been moms for one quarter of that time and it shows. How do they cope? They laugh about all of the craziness that comes with being a mom and they want you to laugh about it too! From snot to stretchmarks to sleepless nights, Kristin and Jen know firsthand that parenting is a hard job and they invite you to join them in taking it all a little less seriously (even if for a few short minutes a day). After all, Jen currently has four days of dry shampoo in her hair and Kristin's keys are still in her front door. They try, they fail, they support each other, and they mom as hard as they can.Disclaimer: This podcast is for entertainment purposes only.
