Kaitlyn Braun spun an elaborate web of lies, convincing over 50 doulas she was pregnant after a traumatic assault. Her deception confused and shattered trust in the doula community, leaving many unsure if they could continue their work. Journalist Sarah Treleaven spent over eighteen months investigating Kaitlyn’s unusual story and the motives behind it. She brought these stories to life in her podcast, The Con: Kaitlyn’s Baby, where she details speaking to the doulas who were tricked, lied to and left disturbed by Kaitlyn's actions. The question remains: why did Kaitlyn do it — and is her deception finally over? Listen to The Con: Kaitlyn’s Baby here. Warning. This story and this opening scene feature descriptions of pregnancy loss and stillbirth.

In this episode of Believing the Bizarre, we dive deep into the mysterious world of gnomes - those diminutive creatures that might be hiding in plain sight as innocent lawn ornaments. We explore the fascinating history behind these legendary beings, tracing their origins from ancient Roman garden statues of fertility gods to the Swiss alchemist Paracelsus, who classified them as earth elementals. Along the way, we uncover the surprising connection between modern garden gnomes and actual hermits that wealthy landowners once hired to live in their yards, complete with pointed hats and robes, serving wine and dispensing wisdom to visitors.

"Everybody has value to give." “It's not a game breaker, it's a game changer.” “How are you doing that differently? How are you going to stand out from the crowd?” Episode summary | In this episode of the ROG Return on Generosity podcast, host Shannon Cassidy interviews Yvette Thornton, a registered patent agent and advocate for innovation and women in leadership. Yvette shares her journey from growing up on a farm in Virginia to her career in intellectual property, emphasizing the importance of collaboration, empowerment, and generosity. She discusses her advocacy for the National Down Syndrome Society, her experiences in patent law, and the lessons learned from her upbringing that shape her leadership style. The conversation also touches on navigating career transitions, the power of community, and the significance of recognizing one's own value and strengths. R.O.G. Takeaway Tips | Leadership is about recognizing and valuing everyone's contributions. Empowering women in leadership roles is crucial for industry transformation. Advocacy for individuals with Down syndrome is about recognizing their abilities. Intellectual property protects innovations and encourages creativity. Listening and asking the right questions are key skills in patent law. Transitioning careers involves self-discovery and recognizing one's strengths. Generosity can come from unexpected places and has a ripple effect. It's important to grieve the loss of a job and give oneself time to heal. You are enough; own your strengths and contributions.

GENEROSITY is ultimately a heart posture, an attitude about giving. GENEROSITY is our norm is a revelation we're still growing in as a church, but we've definitely made it consistent practice.
Let's remember, at it's core GENEROSITY is ultimately a heart posture, an attitude about giving.
Monday, 9 June 2025 But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven. Matthew 10:33 “And if, whoever, he should deny Me before men, I will deny – I also – him before My Father, the ‘in heavens'” (CG). In the previous verse, Jesus noted that whoever will assent in Him before men, He will assent that person before His Father in heaven. Now, taking the opposite angle, He says, “And if, whoever, he should deny Me before men.” Jesus introduces the word arneomai, to contradict. As such, it signifies to disavow, reject, refuse, etc. As an example, it says this in Acts 3 – “The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and denied [arneomai] in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let Him go. 14 But you denied [arneomai] the Holy One and the Just, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you, 15 and killed the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses.” Acts 13-15 Jesus is saying to the apostles that when they go forth spreading their message, those they encounter will have to decide. If they assent in Him, He will speak likewise before the Father. However, those who deny Him, “I will deny – I also – him before My Father, the ‘in heavens.'” The words bear a strong emphasis, just as in the previous verse. Jesus adamantly avows that those who deny Him, He too will deny. As with the previous verse, the words here speak of free will. There is nothing forced, and God leaves the decision up to the contemplation of the individual. Jesus is speaking to those of Israel whom the apostles will encounter. The apostles are not directed to go to anyone outside of the cities of Israel, and Jesus' ministry is – by His own words – directed to the lost sheep of the House of Israel (Matthew 10:6 & Matthew 15:24). Further, Jesus' words precede the completion of His ministry and fulfillment of the law. He is speaking about matters in that context. Life application: How many times have you heard someone cite the words of Matthew 10:33 to indicate that a person can lose his salvation? As noted, the context is not speaking of those in the church. It is speaking of those of Israel, even before the completion of Jesus' ministry. Further, notice the use of the same word, translated as denied, in Acts 3 cited above. Who was Peter speaking to in those verses? He was speaking to the people of Israel who had denied their Messiah. Peter was appealing to them to change their minds and believe. Therefore, there is a chance for someone who had denied Jesus to “undeny” Him and believe. Paul uses the same word in 2 Timothy 2 – “This is a faithful saying: For if we died with Him, We shall also live with Him. 12 If we endure, We shall also reign with Him. If we deny [arneomai] Him, He also will deny [arneomai] us. 13 If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself.” 2 Timothy 2:11-13 But though often interpreted as such, those verses do not speak of a loss of salvation. Refer to the Superior Word commentary to understand what Paul is saying. Since the completion of Christ's ministry, He has fulfilled the Mosaic Covenant and established the New Covenant. Gentiles are accepted into this New Covenant through faith, just as Jews are. Believing the gospel leads to salvation. Salvation is guaranteed by the sealing of the Holy Spirit – “In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.” Ephesians 1:13, 14 Jesus didn't speak of these things because His work was not yet complete. The message of salvation by faith through grace as a guarantee through the sealing of the Holy Spirit only came about after His atoning death for the sins of the world. When someone believes, he has no longer denied Jesus. He moves from death to life, eternal life. Be sure to read the commentary on 2 Timothy 2:12, 13 to understand what Paul is referring to. And the next time you hear someone cite Matthew 10:33 as proof that one can lose his salvation, be sure to correct his thinking. Lord God, despite not knowing everything about what You have done for us, we know that You have saved us, fully and forever, through belief in Your gospel. We know that nothing can ever separate us from Your love because of Jesus. We are saved – forever and ever. Amen.

Believing the Lies We Tell Ourselves (James 1:16-27) James 1 Era June 8, 2025 Essential Church SUMMARY The message revolves around themes of self-deception and the importance of application over mere knowledge. It uses the TV series "Breaking Bad" as a metaphor to explore these themes. The narrative highlights the protagonist's journey, where he justifies his morally questionable actions by claiming they are for his family, only to reveal later that he did it for himself. This serves as a cautionary tale about self-deception and rationalization. The message also delves into spiritual maturity, emphasizing that true growth comes from applying knowledge in one's life, not just acquiring it. It draws parallels between the protagonist's story and the teachings in the Book of James from the Bible, which stresses the importance of being doers of the word, not just hearers. The speaker encourages listeners to act on their convictions and not be content with merely understanding their shortcomings. Additionally, the message touches on the concept of God's unchanging nature, contrasting it with human tendencies to deceive themselves about their spiritual state. It calls for living in the light of truth and taking action rather than blaming circumstances or "bad lighting" for one's failures. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. **Self-Deception and Rationalization**: - How does the concept of self-deception manifest in our daily lives, and what are some common rationalizations we use to justify our actions? - In what ways can we identify and overcome self-deception in our personal and professional lives? 2. **Application of Knowledge**: - Why is it important to apply knowledge rather than just acquire it? Can you think of examples where application led to significant personal growth? - How can we ensure that we are not just hearers of knowledge but doers as well? 3. **Spiritual Maturity**: - What does spiritual maturity mean to you, and how can it be achieved? - Discuss the role of motives in spiritual practices. How can we ensure our motives are pure? 4. **Freedom and Self-Mastery**: - How does self-mastery contribute to personal freedom, and what steps can we take to achieve it? - Discuss the balance between following guidelines and experiencing freedom. How do these concepts coexist? 5. **True Religion and Motives**: - What is the significance of helping those who cannot help you back, and how does this reflect true religious practice? - How can we examine and purify our motives in our actions and relationship
Are you tired of wondering if you're really saved? Do you live in fear that God might stop loving you if you mess up? This message is for anyone who feels like they're on spiritual probation. In this sermon, we unpack powerful truths from Romans and Ephesians to uncover the lie that says, “God only loves good people.” The truth? God's love is not earned — it's freely given. Discover what it means to live with confidence in your salvation, not based on your performance, but based on what Jesus has already done.
In this special bonus episode, Morgan sits down with director Zippy Kimundu to talk about her film, "Widow Champion" which is having its U.S. premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival. "Widow Champion" is a powerful documentary about Rodah, a woman living in rural Kenya aiding her community. In these more rural areas of Kenya, when women marry, they move onto compounds with their husbands' families. In the event of their husbands dying, there is a law called "widow inheritance," which was intended to have the in-laws care for their deceased loved one's widow. In reality, it has become a tool for land grabs, deeply rooted in misogyny. After the loss of her own husband, Rodah's home was taken from her. Rodah and her children spent 7 years living on the street. But through mediation and reconciliation, Rodah was able to find resolution with her in-laws. Believing so deeply in this process, Rodah now dedicates herself to other widows and their families, aiming to help them find common ground to move forward together. "Widow Champion" premieres on 09 June 2025 at 8:15pm with screenings on the 10th, 12th, and 15th. For tickets, you can head over to the Tribeca Film Festival website. "Widow Champion" will also be screening at DC/Dox on 14 June 2025, and you can learn more here.

Welcome to Day 2646 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theology Thursday – “Believing the Bible”– Supernatural Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2646 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2646 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Today, we begin a new focus on the 1st of 16 segments of our Theology Thursday lessons. I will read through the book Supernatural, written by Hebrew Bible scholar, professor, and mentor, the late Dr. Michael S Heiser. Supernatural is a condensed version of his comprehensive book ‘The Unseen Realm.' If these readings pique your interest, I would recommend that you read ‘The Unseen Realm.' Today, we will read through chapter one, ‘Believing the Bible.' Do you really believe what the Bible says? To some, that may seem like an odd question to ask in a book likely to be read mostly by Christians. But I don't think it's so odd. The Bible has some pretty strange things in it—things that are hard to believe, especially in the modern world. I'm not talking about the big stuff, such as whether Jesus was God come to earth, who then died on the cross and rose from the dead. I'm not even thinking of miracle stories like the exodus, when God rescued Israel from Egypt by making a way for them through the Red Sea. Most Christians would say they believe those things. After all, if you don't believe in God and Jesus, or that they could do miraculous things, what's the point of saying you're a Christian? I'm talking about the little-known supernatural stuff you run into occasionally when reading the Bible, but rarely hear about in church. Here's an example. In 1 Kings 22, there's a story about a wicked king of Israel, Ahab. He wants to join forces with the king of Judah to attack an enemy at a place called Ramoth-gilead. Judah's king wants a glimpse into the future—he wants to know what's going to happen if they attack. So the two kings ask Ahab's prophets and get thumbs up all around. But those prophets are just telling Ahab what he wants to hear, and both kings know it. So they decide to ask God's prophet, a fellow named Micaiah. What he says isn't good news for Ahab: Therefore hear the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing beside him on his right hand and on his left; and the Lord said, “Who will entice Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?” And one said one thing, and another said another. Then a spirit came forward and stood before the Lord, saying, “I will entice him.” And the Lord said to him, “By what means?” And he said, “I will go out, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.” And he said, “You are to entice him, and you shall succeed; go out and do so.” Now therefore behold, the Lord has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets; the Lord has declared disaster for you. (1 Kings 22:19–23) Did you catch what the Bible's asking you to believe? That God meets with a group of spirit beings to decide what happens on earth? Is that for real? Here's another example, courtesy of Jude: And the angels who did not stay within their own position of authority, but left their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the judgment of the great day....

Is pantheism the feel-good belief system it's often made out to be—or is it actually robbing people of hope, purpose, and moral clarity? In this video, we dive deep into the new age worldview of pantheism, the belief that "everything is God," and examine how it leads to depression, apathy, and moral confusion. Through a Christian lens, we expose how pantheism strips individuals of personal identity, accountability, and the ability to truly call anything evil. If everything is divine, then nothing is sacred—and nothing is truly wrong.This video is perfect for new Christians, skeptics, spiritual seekers, and anyone wrestling with New Age beliefs. If you're Jesus-curious, deconstructing your faith, or trying to understand the Christian worldview, this conversation will equip you with solid biblical philosophy and practical tools to recognize and reject hollow worldviews that lead to spiritual emptiness.Subscribe for more deep Christian content, apologetics, and real talk on theology, doubt, and the hard questions you don't hear in church.You can also find Ethan's personal channel here! https://youtube.com/@everyday_gospel?si=evbyJ0kzEBJ4N6U6

What if the enemy could convince you that sin is freedom—and silence is safety? In this deeply personal episode, Candace, Lev, and Pastor JP unpack how the enemy deceives by flipping the value of everything: making cheap things seem worthy and making eternal things seem disposable. JP opens up about switching price tags on a Boys II Men CD as a teenager—a story that becomes a metaphor for how we can be mislead. They explore how spiritual apathy, pride, fear of man, and a shallow view of eternity can all keep believers quiet when the world needs truth the most. Candace shares about her own conviction over staying silent on set and Lev wrestles with pride and significance. This episode is both sobering and empowering, calling every listener to live for what truly matters.

In our inaugural episode of "Terrified Together," we partnered with Chris and Ed from "Scared All the Time Podcast" to dive into spine-chilling listener submissions that had us questioning reality itself. We kicked things off with Taylor's haunting tale from Marietta, Ohio - a 21-year-old who bought what seemed like the perfect starter home, only to discover it came with some very unwelcome residents. From mysterious footsteps in a locked attic to pets behaving in ways that would make any animal lover's blood run cold, Taylor's experience had us all leaning into our mics with genuine concern and fascination. Our second story transported us across the pond to Ireland, where our listener Carrie Anne's life took a dramatic turn after an innocent hike in the mountains of Sligo. What started as a family walk through familiar terrain became something far more sinister when she encountered an ancient stone monument and made the fateful decision to explore a forbidden fairy fort.

In this chilling episode of Believing the Bizarre, we dive into two haunting tales that'll make you question what lurks in the shadows. First, we explore Kay's family home in Pennsylvania, where for thirteen years they endured relentless paranormal activity. From mysterious voices calling out from empty rooms to unexplained tugging at feet and hands, this suburban house seemed determined to make its presence known. The most unsettling revelation? Those voices Kaye heard calling her name may not have been coming from downstairs at all, but from something much closer to home. Our second story takes a dramatically darker turn with Anthony's submission about his paranormal investigation group, the Midnight Men. What started as a simple case to help an old friend spiraled into something far more sinister than anyone could have imagined. When a seasoned medium abruptly cut all ties after meeting the affected family, it should have been a red flag. Instead, Anthony and his team pressed forward, only to discover that some entities don't wait for you to visit them – they come to you first. This tragic tale serves as a sobering reminder that in the world of paranormal investigation, there are forces that even the most experienced shouldn't dare to challenge.
