    The Elisabeth Elliot Podcast

    Originally presented on April 20, 2001 in Chula Vista, California, This recording is the result of our work digitizing over 600 cassette tapes of Elisabeth's talks. Elisabeth often gave the same talk in different locations. You'll find several talks entitled Forgiveness on the Podcast and Elisabeth Elliot Foundation website. Each is unique, with its own stories and tone. All are a blessing and encouragement. Each tape is decades old and the quality of the recordings varies quite a bit from tape to tape. As we preserve Elisabeth's legacy, we will share as much of her work as possible, even when technical issues affect the quality of the audio. --- Music by John Hanson

    Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day

    Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for February 22, 2026 is: foray • FOR-ay • noun A foray is an initial and often hesitant attempt to do something in a new or different field or area of activity, as in “the novelist's foray into nonfiction.” In martial contexts, foray means “a sudden or irregular invasion or attack for war or spoils.” // The professional wrestler's surprise foray into ballet was at first met with skepticism, but he eventually proved himself a dancer of grace and poise. See the entry > Examples: “Bryan Escareño's foray into fashion was the result of happenstance. In 2018, the designer, who was born and raised in Venice, California, bought a green vintage Singer sewing machine at a garage sale determined to learn to make the perfect pair of denim pants. … He began honing his sewing skills, eventually crafting cut-and-sew flannel shirts that caught the eye of his colleagues at LA's Wasteland, a high-end resale boutique.” — Celia San Miguel, USA Today, 3 Dec. 2025 Did you know? For centuries, foray referred only to a sudden or irregular invasion or attack, but in the late 19th century it began to venture into gentler semantic territory. While the newer sense of foray still involves a trek into a foreign territory, the travel is figurative: when you make this kind of foray, you dabble in an area, occupation, or pastime that's new to you. Take the particularly apt example (stay tuned) of mushroom hunting. The likely ancestor of foray is an Anglo-French word referring to the violent sort who do invasion forays, but that word could also refer to a forager—that is, one who wanders in search of food. (Forage has the same etymological source.) Interestingly, foray has seen a resurgence of use connected to its foraging roots, as evidenced by the growing popularity of mycophile-led mushroom “forays” that have been lately popping up like toadstools.

    We are talking Hollywood and the death walk it's currently on.I'm proud to say that God willing, we will make a serious dent in this area of pop culture, reclaiming some of it.How this correction hasn't already occurred is beyond me. For decades, Hollywood has run like a crackhead trust-fund recipient.People with NO TALENT elevated, and making millions, while real talent is stuffed on shelves.But fiscal sanity is not a language widely spoken in zip codes where espresso costs the same as a car payment. As production budgets ballooned and union rules thickened like overcooked gravy, other cities and states quietly sharpened their pencils and did something radical: math.Across America, states began offering tax incentives to lure productions away from California. Georgia, Texas, Florida, and even international hubs such as Ireland and Eastern Europe rolled out the red carpet with calculators in hand. As reported by RedState columnist Brad Slager in his February 2026 piece, California's once-dominant production pipeline is hemorrhaging projects to “greener locales.” His reporting details how studios, squeezed by soaring costs and regulatory burdens, are packing up and fleeing like extras escaping a zombie scene.

    The Washington Roundtable discusses the upcoming State of the Union address and the public's shift against Donald Trump on two of his signature issues: the economy and immigration. What pitch might Trump make for himself and the Republican Party heading into the midterms? “On the economy, he's in the same fix Biden was in,” the staff writer Jane Mayer says. “He's trying to yell at people and tell them, ‘You are better off than you think you are,' and that, we know, doesn't work.” Plus, the group examines what the retirement of Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene from Congress and what the Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom's opposition to a wealth tax in California can tell us about ideological fissures within both parties. This week's reading: “The E.P.A.

    “What's important for people to know is that the majority of California is actually not to the far left. We're a very purple state,” says Elaine Culotti, a self-made entrepreneur, star of Discovery's reality TV series “Undercover Billionaire,” and founder of the Mayors Matter project.On a mission to understand the root causes of California's challenges, Culotti recently went on a state-wide tour and talked to 50 out of California's almost 500 mayors as well as countless regular Californians on the way.“I've talked to people from Humboldt County, which is the very top of California, to Chula Vista, all the way into the Central Valley ... to Santa Monica and Pacific Palisades. ... And it does not matter if you have an R or a D,” Culotti said.The fifty mayors she spoke to—on both sides of the aisle—have two overarching priorities for their cities: security and economic development, Culotti said.But no matter how hard they try, they find it difficult to achieve either one. Why? Because of Sacramento, Culotti said.Most taxpayer money goes to the state government with its over half a million employees, Culotti noted. The cities receive little money but lots of crippling orders from Sacramento, and fraud at the state level is rampant, she said.When California's top politicians “are pushing downstream what's called unfunded mandates onto people, you create war in those city halls. You create war with those mayors because they are saying, ‘No, no, stop oppressing us with your mandates. We don't want to do it,'” Culotti said.“We're all being boiled to death by Sacramento,” she said.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

    Surveillance footage released. Multiple suspects sought. A man detained in Rio Rico and released after eight hours. An imposter ransom arrest in California. Roadside searches eleven days out. And eighteen thousand tips competing with millions of self-appointed body language experts judging the Guthrie family from their phones. The Nancy Guthrie case is being squeezed from every direction — and this episode puts a former prosecutor and a former FBI behavioral analyst on both pressure points. Criminal defense attorney and former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis starts with what the prosecution actually has. The forty-one-minute gap between the Nest camera going offline at 1:47 a.m. and Nancy's pacemaker losing Bluetooth at 2:28 a.m. is the case's forensic foundation. It proves something happened in that house during that window. But a timeline isn't a defendant. Faddis explains what evidence is still needed to make a charge survive a courtroom. He addresses FBI Director Kash Patel releasing surveillance footage through his personal X account rather than a Bureau press briefing — and whether that gives a defense attorney anything real to work with. At least three ransom notes included specific details about the interior of the Guthrie home. The FBI confirmed no proof of life and no known ongoing communication between the family and suspected kidnappers. With one imposter demand already resulting in an arrest, Faddis breaks down the legal problem of separating real kidnapper communications from fraud — and how defense teams exploit every crack in that distinction. The Rio Rico detention is another exposure point. A man held, questioned, and released. If charges eventually fall on someone else, that eight-hour interrogation becomes a defense exhibit. Evidence recovered from roadways eleven days after the disappearance faces degradation, contamination, and custody questions that limit its prosecutorial value. Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, who led the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, confronts the damage coming from outside the investigation. Millions of untrained observers have turned the Guthrie family's public statements into verdict machines — interpreting pauses and gestures as proof of guilt or innocence. Dreeke explains why mass scrutiny distorts how people behave on camera, how investigators manage the flood of amateur theories alongside legitimate tips, and why there is a vast difference between watching a clip online and the years of professional training behind real behavioral assessment. The legal case has gaps. The public is filling them with guesswork. This episode explains why both problems matter.#NancyGuthrie #EricFaddis #RobinDreeke #FBIFootage #RansomNotes #GuthriePacemaker #RioRico #BehavioralAnalysis #TrueCrime #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

    The FBI released surveillance footage. They're looking for multiple suspects. A man was detained in Rio Rico for eight hours and released. An imposter ransom demand led to a California arrest. And eighteen thousand tips are now competing with millions of amateur verdicts being rendered in comment sections across the internet. Two experts break down why both sides of this equation — the legal case and the public spectacle — are in trouble. Criminal defense attorney and former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis explains what prosecutors actually have. The forty-one-minute window between the Nest camera going offline at 1:47 a.m. and Nancy Guthrie's pacemaker losing Bluetooth at 2:28 a.m. is the strongest forensic anchor in the case. It proves something happened inside that house. But connecting that timeline to a specific defendant requires evidence that hasn't materialized publicly. Faddis walks through how a prosecutor builds around that gap — and what a defense attorney does to widen it. He addresses the decision by FBI Director Kash Patel to release surveillance footage through his personal X account instead of the Bureau's press office. Whether a defense team could credibly argue that compromised the identification process. The legal chaos created by at least three ransom notes containing details about the inside of Nancy's home — with no proof of life confirmed and one imposter demand already producing an arrest. And the prosecutorial vulnerability of the Rio Rico detention: a man questioned for hours, released, his family insisting the clothing doesn't match. If charges eventually land on someone else, that detention becomes a defense exhibit. Roadside evidence collected eleven days out faces its own problems — weather, contamination, chain of custody. Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, who led the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, addresses the damage being done from outside the investigation. The Guthrie family's statements have been dissected by millions of people interpreting body language with no training and total confidence. Dreeke explains why mass observation makes innocent people look guilty, how investigators manage an avalanche of amateur theories, and what the person responsible for Nancy's disappearance experiences while watching strangers analyze them. He confronts the uncomfortable truth most viewers don't want to hear: there is an enormous gap between watching a clip on your phone and the professional expertise required to actually read human behavior. This episode puts the legal fragility and the public pressure side by side — because both are threatening the same case.#NancyGuthrie #EricFaddis #RobinDreeke #FBIFootage #RansomNotes #GuthriePacemaker #RioRico #InternetSleuths #TrueCrime #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

    The FBI released surveillance footage and said they're looking for more than one person in the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping. A Rio Rico man was detained eight hours and released without charges. An imposter ransom demand produced an arrest in California. Investigators are searching roadways for evidence eleven days after the disappearance. And millions of people are delivering their own verdicts on the Guthrie family based on video clips and zero training. This episode brings a former prosecutor and a former FBI behavioral expert together on the same case — because the threats to this investigation are coming from both directions. Eric Faddis, criminal defense attorney and former felony prosecutor, breaks down the prosecutorial math. The forty-one-minute window between the Nest camera disconnecting at 1:47 a.m. and Nancy's pacemaker losing Bluetooth connectivity at 2:28 a.m. remains the forensic backbone. But that timeline proves an event — not a defendant. Faddis explains what's still missing to make a case hold. He examines FBI Director Kash Patel's decision to release surveillance footage via his personal X account and whether that creates a real defense argument or just generates headlines. At least three ransom notes contained specific interior details of the Guthrie home. No proof of life has been confirmed. One imposter demand already led to an arrest. Faddis explains how a defense team weaponizes that confusion — and how prosecutors have to untangle legitimate kidnapper communication from opportunistic fraud in a courtroom. The Rio Rico detention looms as another vulnerability. If someone else is charged, a defense attorney will point to a man questioned for hours and released as evidence the investigation had no direction. Roadside evidence recovered nearly two weeks later faces weather degradation, contamination, and chain of custody scrutiny. Robin Dreeke, former FBI Special Agent and Chief of the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, addresses the other front. The Guthrie family's video statements have been torn apart by millions of people drawing conclusions from pauses, blinks, and gestures. Dreeke explains why self-consciousness under mass observation makes innocent people appear guilty, how investigators separate useful tips from the noise generated by an entire country convinced it's cracked the case, and why the distance between a social media clip and actual behavioral expertise is one most people drastically underestimate. Two experts. Two threats. One case that's being undermined from the inside and overwhelmed from the outside.#NancyGuthrie #EricFaddis #RobinDreeke #FBIFootage #KashPatel #RansomNotes #GuthriePacemaker #KidnappingProsecution #TrueCrime #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan reacts to President Trump's eyebrow-raising comments about classified information and aliens, then pivots to a far more earthly threat as new reporting reveals U.S. taxpayer dollars helped fund research collaborations with Chinese military-linked institutions. Bryan also breaks down fresh evidence that China secretly conducted a nuclear test, why Greenland's missile defense position is critical to America's survival, and why Trump has issued a 10-day warning to Iran as U.S. carrier groups surge into the Middle East. He explains the stakes surrounding Diego Garcia, rising tensions with Mauritius, and the seizure of another sanctioned oil tanker in the Indian Ocean. The episode turns to political shockwaves in the United Kingdom and Washington following new Jeffrey Epstein revelations, including the arrest of Prince Andrew and congressional demands for CIA transparency. Bryan then covers the rapid collapse of so-called transgender medicine programs across major U.S. hospitals and closes with new Harvard research showing that spiritual practice significantly reduces substance abuse risk.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: February 20 2026 Wright Report, Trump aliens classified comment Obama, China academic research Pentagon funding, China secret nuclear test decoupling Kazakhstan, Greenland missile defense China ICBM North Pole, Trump 10 day Iran ultimatum carrier strike group, Diego Garcia Chagos Islands Mauritius dispute, Veronica III oil tanker seizure Venezuela, Prince Andrew arrest Epstein email dump, CIA William Burns Epstein questions, NYU Langone transgender clinic closure, Munchausen by proxy discussion, Harvard spirituality addiction study     Keywords: February 17 2026 Wright Report, California oil gas crisis refinery shutdown Phillips 66 Valero, Jones Act Bahamas Panama Canal fuel route, Pacific war fuel risk Taiwan Xi Jinping, Gavin Newsom Munich Europe speech Trump, Marco Rubio Western civilization decline speech, California transgender secrecy law parental rights lawsuit, Linda McMahon education funding threat, OpenClaw AI agent attack Scott Shambaugh, Amanda Askell Anthropic philosopher Claude, AI Oracle morality debate Silicon Valley

I have been looking forward to that episode.He got cold feet. Too bad. On the other hand, I tend to avoid active politicians. Because they're rarely as candid as I'd like a guest to be. Oh well.A fan of last week's pod who lives near Atlanta writes, “The longtime Dishheads on the Mableton cul-de-sac definitely approve of your interview with homegrown talent Zaid Jilani”:I agree with his description of Mableton as a bit like the United Nations; I see that diversity in our grocery stores and local restaurants. He mentioned how he was often the only Pakistani and thus perceived as a nonthreatening minority. It makes me wonder how much the diversity mix affects how people perceive immigration? If a large group from one country arrives, does that seem more like an invasion? If a similar number arrives but from a wide range of locations, does that seem more like the normal American melting pot?After 30 years of living in Mableton, this may partly explain why I am not bothered by immigration in the way that you are, Andrew. I expect to see and hear all sorts of people wherever I go in my neighborhood. Today the teller at the bank spoke accented English. There are regular clerks at my grocery store who are immigrants. Our new HVAC was installed by immigrants. As an Atlanta suburb, there are many people descended from African slaves. European ancestry is merely one possibility off the long colorful menu around here.I think pace and numbers matter. A slower pace and fewer — with no massive homogenous populations arriving at once. And a new emphasis on Americanization over “multiculturalism”.From a listener who wants to “Make Democrats Great Again”:Great conversation with Zaid Jilani last week. I am very concerned that hardly any Democrats are being at all introspective, trying to figure out where they went wrong and how to become a party that can actually win elections — maybe even hearts and minds. They are only defined as anti-Trump, and their only hope is for Trump to go down in flames — which he very well might, but all they aspire to is winning as the least-worst party.The policy directions for reclaiming sanity and moderate voters are obvious (to me, at least). Here are my top three issues:1. AffordabilityThe longest lever to affect affordability is housing. Democrats have been complete failures in this regard, with strongholds like California and NYC being the least affordable places. When they talk about “affordable housing,” they only mean housing that is forced below market rate for the few poor people lucky enough to get it. They offer no solutions for the middle class or young people.The solution is obvious: build more. Plough through the various restrictions that are preventing housing from being built. There is no reason housing can't be cheap, except for NIMBY politics. Scott Weiner in California has been doing great work on this.Health care is the second-longest affordability lever. Obamacare made some progress, but not nearly enough, especially in terms of keeping costs down. But I'm not sure we're ready for another push on this; I say focus on housing.2. ImmigrationObviously there should be some immigration, and obviously we have structured our economy such that many jobs are only done by immigrants. But the Democrats' policy of simply not enforcing immigration law is untenable, especially for a group asking to be put in charge of law enforcement. We need those migrant workers, so find a way for them be here legally. Not through amnesty, but through some sort of bureaucratic process: have the employers fill out a form; have the prospective worker fill out a form in some office in Mexico; have someone process the form; and give them a green card.This is simple stuff! And yes, it would be helpful to admit that open borders, sanctuary cities, and subverting the law were not good ideas.3. CultureEnd wokeness. America is not a country consumed by white supremacy, and the people who voted for Trump are not racists. There are hardly any racists! And drop the other insanities, like the trans stuff.The message needs to be, “We are the Democrats and we want to help anybody from any state who needs help.” Hard to convince struggling white people in the South that you're going to help them when you seem to despise them. Love your brother, for crying out loud. And naturally, today's woke Democrats would be much more accepting of this message if it came from a racial minority candidate.Another wanted to hear more:I wish you had asked Zaid about Josh Shapiro. Also, when Zaid talked about affordability, he never mentioned housing — which is why there are so many ex-Californians in his home state of Georgia and elsewhere. “Build Baby Build” should be the slogan of the Democratic Party, rather than gaslighting Americans into believing housing prices will come down because we are getting rid of immigrants (Vance).Here's a dissent:About 20:30 into your interview with Zaid Jilani, he said that the root of all the Abrahamic faiths is that the meek have rights. You replied that this applied more to Christianity and Islam than to Judaism. I say this neither rhetorically nor to admonish you, but how much do you know about Judaism? Your comment is completely mistaken. Just what do you think Judaism says about the meek?Another has examples:In Genesis, you find that all humans were created b'tzelem Elohim (in the image of God). Moreover, Jewish texts consistently frame care for the poor as a legal obligation and moral imperative, not mere charity. Every Jewish child learns that promoting economic justice is mandated. It is called tzedakah.This religious mandate has manifested itself in the real world. Jews have been disproportionately represented in social justice movements aimed at promoting human equality. It wasn't an accident that two of three civil rights movement activists murdered in Neshoba County, Mississippi by the Ku Klux Klan were Jewish.Points taken. Big generalizations in a chat can be dumb. My quarrel may be semantic: the meek is not merely the weak. It's about the quiet people, those easily trampled upon. Like many of Jesus' innovations, it takes a Jewish idea further.Another listener on the Zaid pod:I wonder if you ever play the game of “which time would you like to go back to”? I do! And only half-jokingly, I often say 1994 in DC. Something about, for example, Christopher Hitchens on CSPAN in a dreary suit jacket discussing such *trivial* aspects of politics in a serious way. How perfect! When I listened to your episode with Zaid Jilani about how the left can win, it seemed dated to about this period in the early ‘90s.Ah yes, the Nineties. They were heady times and I think we all kinda realized it at the time. The economy was booming, crime was plummeting, Annie Leibovitz took my picture, and we had the luxury of an impeachment over a b*****b. Good times.On another episode, a listener says I have a “rose-colored view of President Obama”:In your conversation with Jason Willick, you said that Obama was a stickler for proper procedure and doing things the right way. I might instance, on the other side:* Evading the constitutional requirements on treaties in pursuit of the Iran deal (an evasion that the Republicans were stupid enough to go along with)* Encouraging the regulatory gambit of “sue and settle”* The “Dear Colleague” letter* “I've got a pen and a phone”Points taken. Especially the DACA move. But compared to Biden and Trump? Much better. One more listener email:I've been following you for years, but more recently I became a subscriber, and it's a decision I don't regret! I usually listen to the Dishcast over the weekend, and I always find it extremely stimulating, but there is also something relaxing about the length and scope of your conversations.I want to respond to something you said in your Claire Berlinski episode on the subject of Ukraine. Although I appreciate your position in defence of international law, you implied that Russia's claim to Ukrainian land is somehow “historically legitimate.” This is not only problematic from a logical standpoint (does Sweden have a historically legitimate claim to Finland and Norway, or does the UK have a claim to the Republic of Ireland, the US, and all its former colonies?), but also not based on historical reality.Unfortunately, this is not the first time your comments on Ukraine seem come through the prism of a Russian lens. I am sure it's not intentional; perhaps that's not a subject you have invested much time in, which is legitimate. However, I find it a bit surprising that, as we approach the fifth year of Russia's full-scale invasion, you still don't seem to have had the curiosity to explore this and invite any specialist on Ukraine. If Timothy Snyder is too political these days, I would recommend Serhii Plokhy — possibly the most eminent historian of Ukraine — or Yaroslav Hrytsak. They would each be a very interesting conversation.The Dishcast has featured many guests with expertise on the Ukraine war, including Anne Applebaum (twice), John Mearsheimer, Samuel Ramani (twice), Edward Luttwak, Fiona Hill (twice), Robert Wright, Robert Kaplan, Fareed Zakaria, Douglas Murray, Edward Luce, and Niall Ferguson.A reader responds to last week's column, “The President Of The 0.00001 Percent”:Like you, I'm not against people getting rich. A lot of good is done by a few people who have enough money to seed research and the arts, and pursue things that ordinary worker bees would never have the margin of time or resources to pursue. Good so far.But all strong forces need regulation and/or protective barriers, whether it's the weather, sex, patriotism, or capitalism. What's going on now is obscene. Progressive taxation is a social good: it doesn't stop anyone from getting richer and richer; it doesn't remove the positive motivators for success; it just means that the farther they get, the higher their proportionate contribution to the system that lets them get there. There are various ways to tweak the dials, but there is nothing philosophically wrong with tweaking them in a way the sets some outer limit. Let it be very high, but let it not be infinite.Here's a familiar dissent:You were right to torch the nihilism of the .00001 class. You were right to call out moral evasions. But when you referred to “the IDF's massacre of children in Gaza,” you collapsed a morally and legally distinct reality into a slogan. Words matter. “Massacre” implies intent. It suggests that the deliberate killing of children is policy rather than tragic consequence. That is a serious charge, and it deserves serious evidence.The governing reality in Gaza is not that Israel woke up one morning and decided to target children.

    California Governor Gavin Newsom pads his frequent-flier miles: after two trips to Europe already this year, a nationwide tour promoting his new memoir (and presidential prospects). Meanwhile, political upheaval finds its way to disaster-prone Los Angeles with a plot twist in an already contentious mayoral race and calls for the chair of LA's 2028 Summer Olympics to resign over his ties to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.  Hoover senior fellow Lee Ohanian and distinguished policy fellow Bill Whalen, both contributors to Hoover's California on Your Mind online journal, discuss the latest in the Golden State, including how Newsom's autobiography squares with his governance record and the prospects of Los Angeles joining the ranks of cities ruled by “Democratic socialism”. Recorded on February 19, 2026. ABOUT THE SPEAKERS Lee E. Ohanian is a senior fellow (adjunct) at the Hoover Institution and a professor of economics and director of the Ettinger Family Program in Macroeconomic Research at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). His research focuses on economic crises, economic growth, and the impact of public policy on the economy. Ohanian is coeditor of Government Policies and Delayed Economic Recovery (Hoover Institution Press, 2012).  He is a frequent media commentator and writes for Hoover's web channel, California on Your Mind. He has won numerous teaching awards at UCLA and the University of Rochester. Bill Whalen, the Virginia Hobbs Carpenter Distinguished Policy Fellow in Journalism and a Hoover Institution research fellow since 1999, writes and comments on campaigns, elections, and governance with an emphasis on California and America's political landscapes. Whalen writes on politics and current events for various national publications, as well as Hoover's California On Your Mind web channel.
