On December 14, 1981, the coastal town of St. John's was shattered by a single, haunting action at a roadside bus stop.   What followed became the most expensive and exhaustive investigation in Canadian History, a manhunt spanning decades that involved hundreds of suspects, false confessions, and a question that has lingered for over forty years… Who was behind the wheel that day?   If you have any information, please call the RCMP at 709-772-5400 or if you wish to stay anonymous, you cancall Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

In this episode of Brothers Just Searching, we kick off a brand-new book study through 1 John, exploring why the letter never directly names its author yet strongly points to John through its writing style and clear eyewitness perspective. We unpack the historical context of the letter, highlighting how John was confronting false teachers and guiding believers back to the truth of the Gospel. Together, we dive into what real fellowship with God looks like through Jesus Christ and how authentic relationship with Him produces genuine connection with one another. Ultimately, this conversation centers on the powerful message that when we walk in true fellowship with Jesus, we experience the deep and lasting joy that God intends for every believer.Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast and follow us on Facebook also leave us a review If You Like To donate to this podcast you can through cashapp or email us at brothersjustsearchingpodcast@gmail.com for more infoAnything is appreciated Cashapp infoBJSmediaThis podcast is brought to you by BJS MEDIA.

This week on "50 Weeks That Shaped America," we're headed to the winter of 1977, when everyone was tuned into a major TV phenomenon -- Alex Haley's “Roots.” It aired over eight parts and was the most watch TV show of all time. It also led many Americans to confront the horrors of slavery for the first time, and set off a genealogy craze that lasts until today.Join our America250 newsletter community!

Jesus tells His disciples something shocking: “It is to your advantage that I go away.” To grieving followers who had walked with Him daily, nothing sounded less advantageous than Jesus leaving. Yet Jesus explains that His departure would usher in something even greater—the arrival of the Holy Spirit.BIBLE VERSE References: JOHN 16:1-15 | MATTHEW 14:7 | MATTHEW 8:14 | MARK 4:41 | MARK 14:66-72 | JOHN 12:42-43 | MATTHEW 25:23 | MATTHEW 3:17 | MARK 8:34-38 | 2 CORINTHIANS 4:17 | 2 CORINTHIANS 1:5 | PHILIPPIANS 1:29 | ISAIAH 64:6 | 2 CORINTHIANS 5:21 | LUKE 11:13*Music tracks by Blue Dot Sessions titled “Glass Beads” and “Come As You Were” were featured in this episode

For part 8 of 12 on “What is the Nicene Creed?” we unpack these lines:he ascended into heaven            and is seated at the right hand of the Father He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,        and his kingdom will have no end.Ok so Jesus was born (Christmas), lived and did ministry and healed and taught and stuff, then was killed (Good Friday), and rose again (Easter) before he ... ascended into heaven. It's a big deal, but probably the most confusing part of his story on earth? So we called our most-listened to guest, our brilliant friend, the Rev. (future-Dr.!) Kelli Joyce, to unpack this for us. (Her previous episode with us, "What is Confession?" remains our #1 episode ever!) The Rev.

In the United States, the housing crisis can feel like an unsolvable puzzle. We talk of housing as something we navigate alone — a commodity we rent or buy, subject to the whims of a volatile market.But in Thailand, they've pioneered a different model. A government program called Baan Mankong, or “secure housing,” treats shelter as a collective right — and proves that the U.S.'s individualist framework isn't the only way.As a Berkeley Ph.D. student in 2014, Hayden Shelby wanted to know if a similar strategy could work in the U.S. In order to decipher the complex policy, she enrolled in advanced Thai in the Department of Southeast Asian studies.Now a leading expert on the program in the U.S., Shelby says speaking Thai on the ground with experts and community members was invaluable.“People open up when they know you've made this really deep and difficult investment in learning their language,” she says. “It breaks down that expert/non-expert barrier.”In this episode of Berkeley Voices, we look at how acquiring a new language can shift our worldview, and what happens when we stop asking what we can do for other countries and start asking what we can learn from them.This is the fourth episode of our latest season, featuring UC Berkeley scholars working on life-changing research — and the people whose lives are changed by it.Listen to the episode and read the transcript on UC Berkeley News (news.berkeley.edu/podcasts/berkeley-voices).Music by Blue Dot Sessions.Photo courtesy of Hayden Shelby.

No doubt you've heard a thing or two about Bad Bunny recently. He's a rapper, singer, and producer, also known as the “King of Latin Trap”—and reggaeton, of course—who's soon to become the first solo Latino to headline the Super Bowl. But he's also Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, a 31-year-old from Puerto Rico and an outspokenly political artist, using his platform and music to address humanitarian crises, gender-based violence, and political corruption. Our guest today is Petra Rivera-Rideau, an expert in music and racial politics who completed her Ph.D. at UC Berkeley and also holds the distinct honor of having taught the first-ever (as far as we know) course on Bad Bunny. She talks about her latest book, P FKN R: How Bad Bunny Became the Global Voice of Puerto Rican Resistance, Bad Bunny's artistic and political legacy, and the rise of popstar-studies in academia. Further reading:Book: P FKN R: How Bad Bunny Became the Global Voice of Puerto Rican ResistancebyPetra Rivera-RideauThe Bad Bunny Syllabus by Petra Rivera-Rideau and Vanessa Diaz Article: “How Bad Bunny Saved the Grammys” by Brady Brickner-Wood, The New YorkerVideo: “El Apagón” by Bad BunnyVideo: “TURiSTA” by Bad Bunny Video: “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS” by Bad BunnyThis episode was written and hosted by Leah Worthington and Nat Alcantara and produced by Coby McDonald. Special thanks to Petra Rivera-Rideau, Pat Joseph, and Laura Smith.

On January 3, 2026, the United States invaded Venezuela and kidnapped president Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores. It was the first U.S. invasion of a Latin American country since the 1989 invasion of Panama. The United States fired missiles and bombs that blew out windows and hit residential apartment blocks. Helicopters. Explosions. Firebombs. They cut electricity. They destroyed a medical supplies warehouse. Testimonies say helicopters fired on innocent people. They traumatized thousands, if not, millions of Venezuelans.The aftermath for everyday Venezuelans has been completely ignored. The voices of those on the ground — the voices of the victims — have been largely silenced in the international press and then forgotten as the news cycle hurtles on and our attention shifts elsewhere — to Greenland, Minneapolis, Iran, Gaza, or whatever Trump happens to be blustering about on social media.So today, we're heading to Caracas to speak to people who experienced the invasion first hand, whether sheltered in place in their homes or running for their lives in the streets of their city. We'll hear their stories of Trump's “impressive” attack, their messages for the U.S., and how they've promised to resist the ongoing attack on their sovereignty.Under the Shadow is an investigative narrative podcast series that walks back in time, telling the story of the past by visiting momentous places in the present. Season 2 responds in real time to the Trump administration's onslaught on Latin America.This podcast is produced in partnership between The Real News Network and NACLA.Theme music by Michael Fox's band, Monte Perdido. Monte Perdido's 2024 album Ofrenda is available on Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music, YouTube or wherever you listen to music. Other music from Blue Dot Sessions. All of the ambient sound of the invasion in this episode was taken from cell phone videos filmed and posted on social media or shared over WhatsApp on January 3rd, during the pre-dawn U.S. invasion.Script editing by Heather Gies.Hosted, written, produced, mixed and edited by Latin America-based journalist Michael Fox.Translator and freelance journalist Coromoto Jaraba Pineda helped with reporting for this episode. You can find her on Facebook and Instagram.Many thanks to Ricardo Vaz and Jessica dos Santos.Resources: Today's episode features filmmaker Angel Palacios.

We are going to step back to the mid 1990s in Tucson, Arizona, to examine two cases that have haunted the city's south side for three decades. In December 1994, 6-year-old Lizette went missing from her apartment complex.  About 13 months later, 7-year-old Karen Grajeda went missing from her apartment complex just 8 miles away.   On the surface, these might seem like isolated incidents, but as local investigators and the FBI began to look deeper, they discovered a disturbing pattern, and they were soon linked to three additional abductions of young girls in the same area between 1993 and 1994. Anyone with information in either of these cases is asked to call the Tucson Police Department at 520-791-4444. There is a $20,000 reward being offered in each case.

Love is not an accessory to the Christian life—it's the framework that holds everything together. In John 15, Jesus places love as both the beginning and the end of His final instructions, calling His followers to live out the example He first showed them. As the cross draws near, He reminds them that real love sacrifices, remains fruitful, and often comes at a cost. Yet through the Holy Spirit, we are empowered to love—not from our own strength, but because we have first been loved.BIBLE VERSE References: JOHN 15:12-27 | MATTHEW 10:7-14 | MATTHEW 11:19 | PHILIPPIANS 2:8 | ROMANS 5:7-8 | MATTHEW 5:43-45 | LUKE 9:23 | ROMANS 13:8-10 | ROMANS 14:14-19 | 1 JOHN 4:19 | MATTHEW 7:15-20 | REVELATION 2:2-5 | ROMANS 5:5 | EPHESIANS 3:17-19 | *Music tracks by Blue Dot Sessions titled “Glass Beads” and “Come As You Were” were featured in this episode

Our look at the response to 9-11 continues with a discussion of the neo-conversative movement that influenced the Bush White House, and how the idea of an "axis of evil" quickly morphed into a long war in Iraq.Join our America250 newsletter community!

In this episode of Brothers Just Searching, we dive into 2 Peter 3:2–10. We discuss why believers should desire to read the Old Testament alongside the New Testament, showing how both work together to tell one unified story that brings the message of Christ to life. We also talk about Peter's warning that scoffers will arise—not only unbelievers, but even those who claim to be believers—questioning the truth and authority of Scripture. Using the flood as an example of God's past judgment, we reflect on Peter's reminder that the present world is reserved for a future judgment. Yet, at the heart of this passage is God's mercy: His patience is meant to lead people to repentance, because He does not want anyone to perish or spend eternity separated from Him.Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast and follow us on Facebook also leave us a review If You Like To donate to this podcast you can through cashapp or email us at brothersjustsearchingpodcast@gmail.com for more infoAnything is appreciated Cashapp infoBJSmediaThis podcast is brought to you by BJS MEDIA.

This week on "50 Weeks That Shaped America," we're headed to January 2002 and the first State of the Union speech after the 9-11 attacks. In it, George W Bush referred to Iran, Iraq, and North Korea as an "axis of evil," signalling that the response to 9-11 would be a much larger campaign, and a moral fight. Jody, Niki, and Kellie discuss how Bush landed on that phrase, what it was meant to evoke, and how it set the stage for the "War on Terror" period in American history.Join our America250 newsletter community!

For our "Sunday Context" series, we build on this past week's coversation about the Battle of New Orleans with a look at the largest slave rebellion in US history, led by Charles Deslondes, which took place just outside of New Orleans in 1811. Like the story of the War of 1812, this involved the mix of ethnic, political, and cultural forces that only New Orleans has -- and highlights the way in which the future of slavery would become the defining issue of the era.Join our America250 newsletter community!

A lot of personal growth work is about recognizing and focusing on taking responsibility and changing what we can change in our lives. But sometimes you're stuck. Stuck and bewildered by how this shit keeps happening. Those same old cyclical situations… a heated argument with a romantic partner, a recurring issue at work, a really challenging family dynamic… where we feel like we have no control. All those tools and practices go out the window and it feels like the situation is just happening at us.These challenges are the perfect place to start practicing shadow work—the process of becoming aware of what you've suppressed, hated, and denied about yourself. Sound a little scary? Don't worry, shadow work does not mean embracing and enacting all the mean parts of yourself. In other words, doing this work doesn't mean becoming an asshole.There are many ways to do shadow work, but today we're focusing on a method created by Carolyn Lovewell called Existential Kink. Existential Kink involves loving, accepting, and owning the ‘guilty pleasure' we get from the shadowy aspects of our subconscious, and we're walking you through the whole process.In this episode, we're breaking down:— What the shadow is— What it means to do shadow work— How Jungian and depth psychology define and approach the shadow— Examples of how and why people repress and deny aspects of themselves— Why unexamined shadow aspects of ourselves often lead to projections— How embracing and recollecting repressed aspects of ourselves can be powerfully transformative for your personal growth and relationships— Why shadow work does not mean embracing and enacting evil/mean aspects of ourselves (AKA becoming an asshole)— The theory behind and process of Existential Kink— The importance of community and support while doing depth psychological workResources mentioned in this episode:— My Individuation Alchemy program— Carolyn Lovewell's book, work, and programs— Lindsay Braman's Emotion Sensation Feelings WheelJOIN The Year Of Opening® community for a full year of learning & support.

In the hours after the Jan. 3 US invasion of Venezuela, social media was inundated with fake videos and images. Some showed Venezuelans holding huge rallies in favor of the US invasion. Others showed US troops landing or firing from helicopters. Others showed Maduro being kidnapped. Not all were AI. Some were old, showing anti-government rallies from years past. Or from other places—other invasions or bombing raids, unrelated to the current US attack. But these videos racked up tons of views, misleading millions of people about what was happening on the ground. Many of those people still don't know the truth. It was only the tip of the iceberg.Today, host Michael Fox looks at the misconceptions, myths, and misinformation that has been spread about Venezuela in the wake of the US invasion and, together with political scientist Steve Ellner, dives headfirst into the biased reporting and slanted truths that have underpinned the mainstream narrative on Venezuela in recent weeks, years, and decades. Under the Shadow is an investigative narrative podcast series that walks back in time, telling the story of the past by visiting momentous places in the present. Season 2 responds in real time to the Trump administration's onslaught on Latin America.Hosted, written, and produced by Michael Fox. Script editing by Heather Gies.This podcast is produced in partnership between The Real News Network and NACLA.  Theme music by Monte Perdido and Michael Fox.

On March 14, 1998, at a farmhouse in Strong City, Oklahoma, 39-year-old Leonard Dirickson sat down for breakfast with his teenage son. As they were cleaning up, they were interrupted by a mysterious stranger in a truck, inquiring about a horse for sale.  It had been a tough few years for their family farm, so Leonard told his son he was going to leave with the man in hopes of selling one of their horses on another property and that he'd be back that afternoon. But Leonard remains missing to this day in one of the most puzzling cases in Oklahoma history. Leonard Neal Dirickson was 39 years old when he was last seenon March 14, 1998, at his home in Strong City, Oklahoma. He was seen getting into a newer or possibly a 1994 white Ford F150 pickup truck with an unknown man. He told his son that they were headed to Mobeetie, Texas, and Elk City, Oklahoma, to look at horses. Leonard is white, about 6 feet tall, and weighed approximately 200 pounds at the time of his disappearance, with brown hair and a red handlebar mustache. He has grey eyes and a small scar under one eye. He was last seen wearing a brown cap with a green bill and an ACCO feeds logo, a faded black Carhartt brand coat, green jeans, and black and brown shoes or boots. The unidentified man Leonard was last seen with has been described as white, about 6'2”, around 40 years old, and approximately 210lbs with a reddish-brown beard, a long nose, dark eyes, and a thick, round face. He was seen wearing blue jeans, a striped western shirt, a blue jacket, and a cap with the words “No Fear” on the front. He may be right-handed and smokes cigarettes, possibly Marlboro Lights. A sketch has been created and circulated for further reference.   Anyone with information is asked to call the Roger Mills County Sheriff's Office at 580-497-2417.

If part two of our "50 Weeks" look at the Battle Of New Orleans. Jody, Niki, and Kellie look at the pirates, generals, and others who fought that day in January of 1815 -- and how the events burnished the reputation of future President Andrew Jackson. In the end, the battle itself may not have had much of a military impact, but the story of the battle helped define a new American century.Join our America250 newsletter community!

The Vermont National Guard usually takes orders from the state. But at the end of 2025, President Trump deployed the Vermont guard to the Caribbean — and Gov. Scott said he had no control over the president's orders.It gave this question from a listener newfound relevance: “Who controls the deployment of the Vermont National Guard if orders from the federal government and the state are in conflict?”You can find the web version of this story here. For more about the Vermont guard, check out this 2010 VPR series, which covered some of the 1,500 Vermonters who were deployed to Afghanistan.This episode was reported and produced by Sabine Poux and Josh Crane.

Life fades quickly when it's cut off from its source. Jesus invites His disciples—and us—to remain deeply connected to Him as the true Vine. We're reminded that a flourishing life doesn't come from striving harder, but from staying close. When we abide, His life continues to flow, producing love, joy, and lasting fruit.BIBLE VERSE References: JOHN 15:1-17 | PSALM 80:8-9 | NUMBERS 13:23-24 | ISAIAH 5:1-7 | MATTHEW 21:33-44 | 2 SAMUEL 11:27 | PHILIPPIANS 2:8 | PSALM 92:13-14 | JOHN 4:35 | JUDE 1:20-21 | *Music tracks by Blue Dot Sessions titled “Glass Beads” and “Come As You Were” were featured in this episode

In March 2000, 23-year-old Leah Roberts packed up some of her belongings along with her new kitten into her Jeep and headed west for Washington. She left behind a note telling her loved ones not to worry and that she'd be back, but nearly 25 years later, Leah is still missing.   Anyone with information is asked to call the Whatcom County Sheriff's Office at 360-778-6600.
