Episode 366 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features an information-packed interview with PWHL, OHL, and Hockey Canada goalie coach Brad Fogal.In the feature interview, presented by NHL Sense Arena, Fogal, who also runs the Goalie Training Institute in Ontario, walks us through his unique path to NCAA and minor pro hockey before becoming a full-time coach, and how it informs his work now on the other side of the whistle. We caught up with Fogal while he was working with Team Canada's under-18 women's team, but he also works with PWHL Toronto and has been in the OHL with Owen Sound, and he shared advice on the importance of building a foundation -- and what that looks like at different ages -- consistent terminology, the biomechanics of good movement, adding game realism and decision-making to drills, working with multiple goalies and so much more.In the Parent Playbook, presented by Stop It Goaltending U the App, Hutch welcomes you to the Goalie (Parent) Union with his top-10 tips (actually top-11, with a bonus) for new goalie parents going into their first season.We also review the latest Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, featuring Eric Comrie with a great breakdown of a late-game 6-on-5 and how to manage movement patterns and read releases even when you get a little behind a play, with a hat tip to Connor Hellebuyck for some of the advice he shares.And in our weekly gear segment we go to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports for a look at the Vaughn Ion Pro pads and gloves, which, counter to the name, is actually a second price-point line that still comes with plenty of top-end features.

Marty joins me for an honest conversation about family, faith, songwriting, and the unexpected turns life takes after decades in music. He'll share stories from his upbringing in south Louisiana, his early years leading worship, life on the road with 4Him, and how God continues to shape his ministry through teaching, mentoring, and creating new music.

Episode 365 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features a great interview with NCAA champion and Frozen Four MVP Johnny Hicks.In the feature interview, presented by NHL Sense Arena, Hicks walks us through the preparation and process that allowed him to mostly sit for half a season, then come off the bench and go 16-0-1 and set an NCAA record with a .957 save percentage before backstopping the University of Denver to a National Championship with a .955 save percentage in the playoffs. It's a great story made all the more remarkable by his unique path, from a winless first season in the BCHL, to a powerhouse team in the AJHL — and the unique lessons from both stops — then the WHL for one year before going to school. Add in an invite to the Edmonton Oilers development camp this summer for the undrafted Hicks and it really is a can't miss interview.In the Parent Playbook, presented by Stop it Goaltending U the App, Hutch talks about preparing for the fast approaching season and why chasing late extra reps before tryouts and training camps can often do more harm than good, both between the pipes and between the ears.We also review the latest Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, featuring Dustin Wolf with a quick but important breakdown on when to use RVH and when to hold your feet on passes from below the goal line, something that's been a theme in a lot of recent Pro Reads.And in our weekly gear segment we go to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports for a look at the new Bauer Supreme F50 Pro, a second-price point stick loaded with top-level options, including one never before offered by Bauer at anything other than the highest prices.

Dating apps were supposed to make romance easier, but have they actually made men and women worse at dating? Kaitlyn Schiess takes over the host chair with Skye Jethani and Mike Erre to talk about Bumble's decision to let men make the first move and why modern dating culture seems to be leaving everyone frustrated. Then they turn to AI and ask what happens when people start outsourcing friendship, advice, and intimacy to chatbots, and why churchgoing Christians may be especially eager to trust the technology. Later, Kaitlyn talks with musicologist Kelsey McGinnis about the resurgence of contemporary Christian music and artists like Forrest Frank and Brandon Lake who are introducing CCM to a new generation. What makes Christian music "Christian," and can worship, celebrity, money, and the music industry coexist without corrupting one another?   Holy Post Plus: Ad-Free Version of this Episode:  https://holypost.substack.com/p/734-the-problem-with-modern-dating?r=35kf51&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true   0:00 - Show Starts 1:42 - Theme Song 2:12 - Sponsor - PolicyGenius - Secure your family's tomorrow so you have peace of mind today.

For nearly a decade, Mike "Q" Quistad was the man who kept one of Christian music's biggest touring bands moving. As 4Him's tour manager, he handled everything from budgets and logistics to impossible travel schedules, backstage crises, demanding promoters, and the daily challenge of keeping four artists focused on what they did best. This is a tribute to friendship, servant leadership, and the people behind the scenes who rarely get the applause—but deserve so much of it.

Episode 364 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features a can't-miss interview with Swedish pro and former U.S. Olympian Strauss Mann.In the feature interview, presented by NHL Sense Arena, Mann, a former University of Michigan standout, takes us through the ups and downs of his first four years of pro hockey since the Olympics. From struggling with situations beyond his control that limited opportunities in North America, to rediscovering his passion for the game in Europe and setting top Swedish League shutout records and winning a championship last season, the lessons Mann shares from his journey really are can't-miss for goalies, coaches and parents. They include a strong focus on meditation, and advice on how to make it a valuable tool, which in part led to a new venture off the ice called Haus (buildyourhaus.com) that offers mentorship and coaching circles as well as 1-on-1 work, not just for goalies but for their parents too, as well as a team-focused five-part speaker series this season of virtual and asynchronous workshops from world-class coaches in performance and personal development.In the Parent Playbook, presented by Stop it Goaltending U the App, Hutch shares key lessons and takeaways from the parent perspective from InGoal's trip to the 2026 USA Hockey Goaltending Symposium in Boston.We also review the latest Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, featuring Eric Comrie breaking down the keys to knowing when to attack and when to sit back on an open look off the rush.And in our weekly gear segment we go to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports for a look at the new Warrior Alpha Surge S50, a lower price point version of the all new Surge pad with lots of the same features and a slightly softer flex profile.

Most nursing home administrators don't realize they're sitting on one of the most underutilized revenue streams in all of Medicare — and until someone shows up and tells them what it's worth, they never will. In this episode, Scott Middleton — founder and Chief Disruption Officer of Your Health — calls in from the road as he travels across rural Georgia on a multi-day facility tour, fresh off completing a major merger with TCPA. What follows is an unfiltered, on-the-ground breakdown of two transformational opportunities Scott is actively building: chronic care management (CCM) reimbursement and ACO cost savings — and the very specific reasons most of the industry is getting both wrong. In this episode, you'll hear: Why Medicare already pays $65/hour for care management performed by nurses, community health workers, and social workers — and how Your Health is now contracting with nursing home facilities to perform it, paying them up to $100 per patient per month The "Fuse" platform — a communication and documentation tool that routes care management notes directly into billing-ready buckets, syncing with point-of-care software so the minutes get captured and billed automatically How ACO risk scores work, why Your Health's scores have grown 30% under their current plan, and what failing to see hospice patients could cost the organization — up to $22 million in a single year The $4,800 per patient per year problem: how one physician in their network was quietly rated one of the worst under the ACO model simply because his patients were going home without any follow-up Scott's announcement that SSAs and TCPs are being restructured to report directly to peer group administrators — and why the confusion about their roles has cost the company If you lead a nursing home, an assisted living facility, a physician group, or any organization inside the long-term care ecosystem, this episode will change how you look at what you're already doing — and what you're leaving behind. www.YourHealth.Org

Christian Rock Summer comes to a close with something a little softer, melodic, and worshipful.

I look at a report that 50,000 people were saved during the Forrest Frank tour

Contributor: Meghan Hurley, MD Educational Pearls: What is hyperkalemia? Hyperkalemia is when the measured blood level of potassium reaches above 5.2 - 5.5 mEq/L (normal 3.5 - 5.2 mEq/L).  What are common causes of hyperkalemia?  Chronic or acute kidney disease. Medications that impact the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone-System (RAAS).  Hypoaldosteronism and primary adrenal insufficiency (Addison's Disease). What are concerns of hyperkalemia? The biggest concern with hyperkalemia is the impact on the cardiac conduction system. At differing levels of hyperkalemia, the patient may initially have peaked T waves, that then progress into a widening of the QRS complex which may eventually lead to a sine wave pattern.  This increases risk for cardiac arrest with ventricular fibrillation, PEA, and asystole. What is the treatment algorithm for hyperkalemia? Works through a three-tier approach. First tier treatment is with a calcium agent (calcium gluconate or chloride).  Thought for the longest time to "stabilize the cardiac membrane/action potential". Recent research shows the true mechanism of action is likely through acting on calcium dependent channels.  Does not fix underlying hyperkalemia, but buys time for the heart.  Second tier treatment is inducing intracellular potassium shift. Can be achieved through agents such as insulin (which may need to be bolused with glucose to prevent hypoglycemia), albuterol, or sodium bicarbonate.  Third tier is potassium elimination If the patient is producing urine, loop or thiazide diuretics can be considered.  Hemodialysis may also be considered based on patient condition.  Long term (and slowest method of elimination) through fecal excretion. Unlikely to see benefits in emergency management.  Key Takeaways?  Hyperkalemia is a condition that can be brought on by primarily renal conditions and medication side effects. Careful attention must be paid to the patient's cardiac status, and urgent cardiac stabilization (though now we may know that calcium doesn't truly "stabilize" the cardiac membrane) must be performed to prevent deadly arrhythmias. Definitive management involves addressing the offending agent, offloading potassium, and stabilizing the patient long term.   References: Geldermann N, Dzimiera J, Fischer H, Christ M.

Episode 363 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features the fascinating journey of former NCAA goalie turned vision specialist and sometimes NHL practice goalie, Robbie Beydoun.In the feature interview, presented by NHL Sense Arena, Beydoun shares stories from a unique path to college hockey that included graduating in 3 years from Michigan Tech, transferring (long before there was a portal) to Wisconsin to play his final year on a team with Cole Caufield and Dylan Holloway, then turning pro, winning in the AHL and going 7-3 in the ECHL with a save percentage of .920 or better, then walking away — at least from playing professionally. Along the way, Beydoun, who still puts on the pads to practice with his hometown Minnesota Wild, had a breakthrough using Vizual Edge, and now he helps goalies see pucks better in his work with the company, a journey that includes working with Jordan Binnington, Jeremy Swayman, Joseph Woll and more. It's a great story that comes with an added bonus: 50% off the first 3 months to try Vizual Edge as a new user in August using the code IGFALL50.In the Parent Playbook, presented by Stop it Goaltending U the App, we cover 7 tips for helping your goaltender improve their puck handling. In that segment we reference an article at InGoalMag.com on improving your shooting strength from Maria Mountain.We also review the latest Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, featuring Eric Comrie with a smart breakdown on managing depth on the penalty kill and the importance of not overcommitting positionally to non-shooting threats, even NHL All-Stars with 358 career goals.And in our weekly gear segment we go to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports for a look at the new CCM Tacks goal skates, with a forward pitch more comparable to Bauer and lots of great new features that have made them a hit with our testers and PWHL star Ann-Renee Desbiens.

Email us: Will@faithfulpoliticspodcast.comHow did Christian music become one of the most powerful forces shaping evangelical identity and politics? Leah Payne, professor of American religious history at Portland Seminary and author of God Gave Rock and Roll to You, joins Will Wright and Pastor Josh Burtram to explain why contemporary Christian music is more than a soundtrack. It is a business, a discipleship tool, and a form of cultural power. Payne traces CCM from Pentecostal and revivalist roots to Billy Graham, the Jesus Movement, Amy Grant, DC Talk, purity culture, worship music, and even January 6. She argues that music often forms people more deeply than doctrine because it teaches Christians what to fear, what to defend, what feels sacred, and who belongs. This conversation helps listeners see how evangelical politics was shaped not only by sermons, denominations, and elections, but by songs, celebrities, markets, mothers, youth culture, and worship.Guest BioLeah Payne, PhD, is professor of American religious history at Portland Seminary and faculty lead for the Doctor of Ministry in Faith & Cultural Engagement program. Her work focuses on American religion, evangelicalism, Pentecostalism, popular culture, music, media, gender, and politics. She is the author of God Gave Rock and Roll to You: A History of Contemporary Christian Music, published by Oxford University Press, and co-host of Rock That Doesn't Roll, a Public Radio Exchange podcast about Christian rock and its listeners. In this conversation, Payne helps explain how CCM, worship music, Christian celebrity, purity culture, and evangelical media shaped American religious identity and political life.Book MentionedGod Gave Rock and Roll to You: A History of Contemporary Christian Music by Leah PayneBookshop.org: https://bookshop.org/a/112456/9780197555248Relevant Links & ResourcesLeah PayneURL: https://www.drleahpayne.com/ Support Sarah Stankorb's work and preorder Damned If She Does: Why Women Quit Church and What It Means for the Future of Religion, Releases September 15, 2026.  Bookshop.org: https://bookshop.org/a/112456/9798889837091Website: https://www.sarahstankorb.com/Support the showKeep the conversation going.Want to learn more about Faithful Politics, suggest a future guest, or connect with us directly?Visit our website:faithfulpoliticspodcast.comBrowse our bookstore, featuring books from many of our guests:faithfulpoliticspodcast.com/bookstoreSupport the show and help us keep these conversations going:patreon.com/cw/FaithfulPoliticsSubscribe for behind-the-scenes content, reflections, and updates:faithfulpolitics.substack.comContact the hosts:Josh Burtram, Faithful Host: Josh@faithfulpolitics.comWill Wright, Political Host: Will@faithfulpolitics.comFollow Faithful Politics:Instagram: faithful_politicsFacebook: FaithfulPoliticsPodcast

Episode 362 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features Montreal Canadiens draft pick and prospect Emmett Croteau.In the feature interview, presented by NHL Sense Arena, Croteau shares lessons learned along his path from Bonnyville, Alberta to the USHL to playing NCAA hockey at Dartmouth College and being drafted by the Montreal Canadiens.

Artificial intelligence promises to make music faster, cheaper, and more “perfect”—which is apparently what we call eliminating the soul from art with impressive efficiency. Chavez Flexington joins me to expose how AI, commercialism, and cookie-cutter production are replacing authentic creativity across the music industry, Christian music, worship, and entertainment. We also discuss his experience as the original drummer for Casting Crowns, why modern worship has become increasingly self-centered, and why the imperfections of real musicians are precisely what allow music to connect and unite us. Scripture tells us to “sing to him a new song” in Psalm 33:3—not endlessly reproduce the same algorithm-approved chorus until every band sounds like Hillsong with a software update.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-jeff-dornik-show--4788100/support.Follow The Jeff Dornik Show on Apple Podcasts and leave a 5-star review.

Dr. Kathi Aultman was a loud and proud abortionist, ending pregnancies multiple times a day, and championing a woman's right to choose. That all changed when the Lord began to work in her heart, showing her through the actions of three key patients that a pre-born baby isn't simply just a “mass of fetal tissue,” but rather, a human being worthy of life. But the jump from abortionist to pro-life advocate and speaker wasn't an overnight transformation. It took time, and it took God's hand in her life. Today, she's advocating for the lives of pre-born babies. She has spoken nationally and internationally, testifying in Washington about the evils of partial birth abortion, the Heartbeat Bill, and fought for a bill to protect abortion survivors. In addition, she does training for young people on when life begins in the womb and what abortion truly is - the ending of one's life. TAKEAWAYS God can transform and forgive anyone if they repent and seek Him Kathi specialized in Aspiration and D&E abortion procedures when she was an abortionist Kathi was the co-founder of the first Rape Treatment Center in Jacksonville, Florida Kathi spoke at the 2019 Washington, D.C., March for Life Rally and is also an associate scholar with the Charlotte Lozier Institute

Episode 358 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features recently signed New York Islanders prospect Josh Kotai. In the feature interview, presented by NHL Sense Arena, Kotai shares valuable insights from a unique path to signing with the Islanders this spring -- and making his pro debut in the AHL -- after two exceptional NCAA seasons at Augustana University, where he was a Mike Richter Award finalist this season as the top goalie in college hockey (among many accolades and awards). It wasn't a straight line to an NHL contract for Kotai, who payed junior in Vermont and North Battleford, Saskatchewan before getting a chance to play college hockey, but it is loaded with incredible stories and lessons, including the most unique right-catch origin stories we've ever heard. Kotai also talks about growing up in a family of passionate goalies, with his dad, Alex, coming back to the game as a self-taught adult to become the Vancouver Canucks practice goalie and his personal coach, and younger brother Nick also playing the position, while other younger brother Reilley is a forward at Northern Michigan. This really is a can't miss interview. Speaking of undrafted goalies, in the Parent Playbook, presented by Stop it Goaltending U the App, we talk about not getting caught up in other people's timelines during drafts, something that is important to remember for parents and young goalies, and driven home by the success of goalies like Kotai and Stanley Cup winner Brandon Bussi of the Carolina Hurricanes. Speaking of Bussi, he's back for a second straight Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, to celebrate his success as he breaks down a double-lateral attack from his first NHL game. And in our weekly gear segment we go to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports for a look at the new Bauer Fuze chest protector, which is now also available in a women's specific model.

Today is my conversation with Zechariah Thomas, founder and CEO of Swift Hockey. A former competitive hockey player, Zechariah saw firsthand how expensive the sport had become for families. So at just 19 years old, he set out to challenge some of the biggest brands in hockey by building high-performance equipment at a more accessible price point. Since then, Swift Hockey has sold tens of thousands of sticks, generated millions in sales, secured a deal on Dragons' Den, expanded across North America, and earned Zechariah a spot on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list. In this episode, we discuss the rising cost of youth hockey, why participation is declining, what it takes to build a challenger brand in a category dominated by giants like Bauer and CCM, and how Zechariah is using entrepreneurship to make the game more accessible for the next g Learn more about your ad choices.

Today we have another Pulm PEEPs Pearls episode about a core critical care topic. Furf and Monty will be giving a high level overview of the use of steroids in sepsis including a review of the relevant literature and recent guidelines, and pragmatic bedside points. Contributors This episode was prepared with research by Pulm PEEPs Associate Editor George Doumat. Dustin Latimer, another Pulm PEEPs Associate Editor, assisted with audio and video editing. Key Learning Points Why Steroids in Sepsis? Steroids do not treat the infection — antimicrobials are always first and remain the cornerstone. The goal is addressing critical illness–related corticosteroid insufficiency (CIRCI), where cortisol production cannot keep up with the overwhelming inflammatory demand of septic shock. Hydrocortisone helps in two main ways: Blunts the dysregulated inflammatory response — tempers the excessive vasodilation and febrile response that drive harm beyond the infection itself. Restores vascular sensitivity to catecholamines — sepsis downregulates adrenergic receptors; steroids turn that responsiveness back on. Clinical takeaway: The first thing you notice is vasopressor weaning (or a bend in the escalation curve) — not a rapid improvement in fever or white count. Caveat: These trials predate modern sepsis phenotyping. None distinguish hyperinflammatory vs. hypoinflammatory responders — they treat all comers. The Evidence: Four Landmark Trials Every IM resident and critical care fellow will eventually journal-club these four. The most consistent signal across all of them is faster shock reversal and reduced vasopressor use; the mortality question remains unsettled. Trial (Year)NRegimenKey FindingAnnane (2002)~300Hydrocortisone + fludrocortisoneMortality benefit in ACTH non-responders; criticized methodology and messy cortisol-response testing; not cleanly replicated.CORTICUS (2008)~500Hydrocortisone aloneFaster shock reversal but no mortality benefit, regardless of cortisol responsiveness. Raised (later allayed) superinfection concern. Cornerstone for abandoning routine cort-stim testing.ADRENAL (2018)~3,800Hydrocortisone aloneFaster vasopressor weaning; no 90-day mortality benefit.APROCCHSS (2018)~1,200Hydrocortisone + fludrocortisoneMortality benefit at 90 days. Bottom line: Faster shock reversal is consistent. Mortality benefit appears in 2 of 4 trials (both used fludrocortisone) but not the others. A 2026 meta-analysis showed benefit for hydrocortisone + fludrocortisone vs. placebo, but not for hydrocortisone + fludrocortisone vs. hydrocortisone alone — suggesting hydrocortisone drives the main effect. Who Gets Steroids, and When? 2021 Surviving Sepsis: Consider steroids for norepinephrine or epinephrine ≥ 0.25 mcg/kg/min for ≥ 4 hours despite adequate resuscitation — a reasonable bedside trigger. Early 2026 update: Moved away from a specific numeric trigger — consider steroids when a septic patient is not responding well to vasopressors or has escalating requirements. Make a clinical decision. (Quality of evidence: low to moderate.) Go faster than the threshold when: Known/suspected adrenal insufficiency or home steroids, or florid pressor-requiring shock on arrival. A practical escalation sequence: escalating norepinephrine → add vasopressin (per VASST) → then add steroids if requirements keep climbing. Do NOT wait for an ACTH stimulation test. It does not reliably predict who responds and only delays treatment. Sepsis is an elevated-cortisol state but can dissociate ACTH and cortisol, and cortisol-binding globulin is depleted — the test is too messy to guide care. What to Give: The Regimen Standard dose: Hydrocortisone 200 mg/day, typically 50 mg IV Q6H. (Original trials often used continuous infusions, rarely used in the U.S.) Some start with a 100 mg bolus to gain control. Higher dose: If chronically on steroids / adrenally insufficient, consider ~300 mg/day (e.g., 100 mg Q8H). Fludrocortisone: Unsettled. The two mortality-benefit trials added it (50 mcg PO/NG/OG daily), but hydrocortisone already has mineralocorticoid activity and meta-analyses don't show added benefit over hydrocortisone alone. Most clinicians omit it — adding it is reasonable and safe, just be honest about the uncertainty. Duration & Tapering Typical course: ~7 days is most common. Trial practices varied (ADRENAL ~7 days; VANISH used a taper after 6 days; some continue until pressors are off). No taper needed. You do not need to taper for adrenal insufficiency after a short course — just stop. If pressors dramatically rebound, you can restart, but most patients have gained the benefit they'll get by day 7. Pitfalls & Safety Hyperglycemia: Expected and must be managed (monitor closely; insulin drip if needed). No signal for major DKA / severe complications in the trials. Superinfection / fungal infection: The most-quoted concern, but the overall literature does not show a convincing, statistically significant increase. Be disciplined about stopping on schedule. Muscle weakness: Steroids can worsen critical illness myopathy; a short 7-day course likely has limited effect, but be aware. Other: GI bleeding (follow general PPI prophylaxis guidance) and sodium disturbances (watch for hyper-/hyponatremia). Two things we know: (1) steroids shorten duration of vasopressor support, and (2) they are relatively safe in sepsis. Whether they improve mortality — and in whom — remains open. The Five Pulm PEEPs Pearls Mechanism: Steroids restore catecholamine vascular sensitivity and blunt dysregulated inflammation. The clinical target is vasopressor weaning, not infection treatment. Evidence: Faster shock reversal is the most consistent finding. Mortality benefit is seen in 2 of 4 trials but not the others — still controversial. Some patients likely benefit; we don't yet know who. Trigger: A practical 2021 threshold is levo/epi ≥ 0.25 mcg/kg/min for ≥ 4 hours. Newer guidance drops the strict number — make a clinical decision based on poor pressor response or escalation. Dose: Hydrocortisone 200 mg/day (e.g., 50 mg Q6H). Adding fludrocortisone mirrors two trials, but meta-analyses find no benefit over hydrocortisone alone. Safety: Steroids appear safe in sepsis. Monitor and treat hyperglycemia; no marked increase in superinfection.

A warm, nostalgic, and inspiring reminder that great music — and great faith — are ultimately about people, relationships, perseverance, and the stories God writes through every season of life.

Description:If you grew up on Christian music in the '90s, there's a good chance Testify to Love wasn't just a hit song—it was the soundtrack to a season of your life. Three decades after Avalon first released the iconic anthem, Jen sits down with original Avalon member Michael Passons, longtime Avalon vocalist Melissa Greene, and country music star Ty Herndon to talk about the remarkable re-release of a song that has found new meaning for a new generation. But this isn't simply a conversation about music. It's the untold story behind one of CCM's most beloved songs. Michael shares the painful reality of losing his place in Avalon after coming out as gay. Melissa reflects on the faith journey that transformed her understanding of inclusion and belonging. Ty opens up about his own path through addiction, recovery, faith, and finally living fully and truthfully as himself. Together, they revisit the song that connected millions of listeners and explore why its message of love, acceptance, and human dignity feels more relevant now than ever. Filled with laughter, tears, hard-earned wisdom, and more than a few moments that will leave you reaching for the tissues, this conversation is a beautiful testament to friendship, healing, and the courage it takes to live loud. Whether Testify to Love has been on your playlist for thirty years or you're hearing its story for the first time, this episode is a powerful reminder that love's truest testimony is not who it excludes—but who it embraces. Thought-provoking Quotes: “I lost my community, my family, my career, all within a couple of seconds. That's a lot to process.” - Michael Passons "The people I loved and the fullness of their humanity butted up against my theological positions. I had to ask myself: Do I keep creating fences and becoming more exclusive? Or could it be that my views of God, humanity, and the world need to change?" – Melissa Greene "What I've noticed in the lives of people who have allowed themselves to evolve and change their mind is that that process pulls us toward an expansiveness that is just magical." - Jen Hatmaker “You don't live in the church, the church lives in you. You have an opportunity right now to start your own church and decide who sits at your table. No one can kick you out of your own church.” - Ty Herndon Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Avalon - https://www.avalonthegroup.com/ Carman - https://carman.org/ Stephen Curtis Chapman - https://store.stevencurtischapman.com/ Kirk Franklin - https://kirkfranklin.com/ Michael's Instagram Reel - https://www.instagram.com/reels/DY6_JF6BDyO/ Dottie Rambo - https://www.dottierambo.net/ Testify to Love - https://music.apple.com/us/song/testify-to-love-feat-melissa-greene/1893435396 Testify to Love video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9l7IPvr6b8s Melissa's Links: Website - https://www.melissagreene.net Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/melissagreene Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/melissagreeneofficial/ Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWQpP8gHH7vew99LcQJs3Og Substack - https://melissagreene.substack.com/p/testify-to-love Michael's Links: Website - https://michaelpassons.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/michaelpassons/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/michaelpassonsmusic Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@michaelpassonsmusic TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@michaelpassonsmusic Ty's Links: Website - https://www.tyherndon.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/tyherndonofficial/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/tyherndonofficial Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/user/OfficialTyHerndon TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@tyherndonofficial Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.
