Kate breaks down the cartel-run trafficking operation she caught on camera at the southern border, the courtroom fight to reclaim her own company from a hostile takeover, and the tunnel walks behind House The Heroes, her nonprofit rescuing homeless veterans. She's already survived assault, betrayal, and a legal battle to keep everything she built — and there's a political announcement coming that she says will shake the Republican Party.

CELTIC PODFEST AND ARTS MARKET The 2026 Celtic PodFest was a tremendous success. Kinnfolk and The Muckers joined me for our first festival at The Lost Druid Brewery in Avondale Estates, Ga. The festival happened because of many of my listeners who pledged at our start - of - the - year Kickstarter. We had a great turnout, but we could've done better if we had planned it more than a month out. There is now a Kickstarter Pre - Launch Page for our Second Celtic PodFest. You'll find a link in the shownotes. This fundraiser will hopefully allow us to bring a second festival to you. The Kickstarter will launch in September. Will you help?

Troy of The Secret Commonwealth emailed a sad follow up back in March to the news about his friend who was illegally held in ICE custody: "Marc, thank you so much for sharing the fundraiser for my friend on your new episode. It is with profoundly heavy heart that I have to tell you that my friend died last Sunday of a heart attack. He had been moved to a hospital in Mississippi and apparently suffered two successive attacks. His body is being returned now. To say we are devastated and infuriated would be inadequate to describe our state of being. We had just been sending his lawyers important records and documents that we felt, along with his obvious serious health conditions, had a very good chance of securing his release. We'll never know now if that would have proven to be true, but we just needed him to endure a little while longer, which he ultimately could not. He died one month short of a year since being detained by ICE. I have not yet publicly announced this in an update to our fundraiser because, frankly, it's still too fresh and painful to address. But any proceeds we've made will obviously now be put toward the cost of his funeral service. Sorry to impart this bad news, but I mostly wanted to express my gratitude to you for your kind support on behalf of Pejman's family, my girlfriend (who was his dearest friend in the world and who spearheaded this fight for his freedom) and for me. Best to you,"
In this episode we explore the reality of starting a new homeschool year, especially when things don't go as planned. We all set out with big dreams and carefully constructed plans, but when our real, neurodivergent kids show up—with their unique strengths, challenges, and sometimes unexpected needs—it's easy to feel overwhelmed or question ourselves. Listen for actionable reflection questions, permission to pivot your plans, and a reminder that every year is a fresh opportunity to meet your kids where they are and help them grow into the amazing people they're meant to be. Key Takeaways Start with the Child You Have: Observe your child's real needs and interests—not your ideal of what homeschooling "should" look like. Ditch What Doesn't Work: Don't be afraid to drop curriculum, routines, or activities that create friction or don't fit your child's current stage. Celebrate Asynchrony: Embrace uneven growth—kids may excel in some areas and need extra support in others, and that's normal. Connection Comes First: Prioritize strengthening your relationship and trust with your child—learning follows where connection is strong. Small Changes, Big Impact: Focus on just one meaningful adjustment at a time for positive momentum and less overwhelm.

She offers four ways to teach it without coming down hard: empathizing with their feelings, saying what you need before the moment arrives, describing your situation plainly, and modeling compassion for others. It is practical positive parenting for raising a child who notices what everyone else is carrying. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://parentingsimply.com/is-your-child-selfish-4-simple-ways-to-turn-your-kid-around/ Quotes to ponder: "It is helpful to know that kids do not want to misbehave they are usually just acting normally for their age." "Empathizing with kids and respecting their negative feelings is truly the best way to teach our kids to see our perspective."

Nonfiction writer G'Ra Asim joins co-hosts V.V. Ganeshananthan and Whitney Terrell to talk about his new book, 99 Problems Finding the 1: a love story (sort of). Asim discusses Afropessimism, heteropessimism, and their relationship to his pursuit of love as a cis straight black man; defines the idea of “thinkful wishing”; and recalls the ways in which black couples in his family, including his parents, have modeled relationships for him. He explains how—inspired by the viral New York Times essay “The 36 Questions That Lead to Love”— he came up with a series of inquiries that push two participants to reflect on their experiences of gender and race. He talks about how culture influences understanding of romance, mentioning Destiny's Child, Dexter, and Minor Feelings. He reads from 99 Problems Finding the 1.To hear the full episode, subscribe through iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Spotify, or your favorite podcast app (include the forward slashes when searching).

Before Flamingo Estate became one of the most beloved lifestyle brands in the world, Richard Christiansen was running a fast, urban, client driven creative agency. Today he's a rural Australian farm kid turned custodian of a hundred plus farms and makers, and the author of Pleasure Principles, a book that draws its wisdom from gardens rather than boardrooms.In this conversation, Richard and I talk about what it actually means to slow down while running a business that keeps growing. We get into the daily rituals that have nothing to do with work, the difference between expensive and truly luxurious, and the plant lessons from his book that took the longest to sink in. We also talk about hospitality in its truest sense, the people who shaped his taste, and what he'd tell someone to do if they only had twenty minutes to experience one pleasure from his world.This is a conversation about beauty, patience, and building something rooted enough to last.Produced by Dear MediaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Mental health has been top of mind for so many parents lately, making this throwback episode feel more relevant than ever. In this rerelease, Miss Beth sits down with therapist and Big City mom Jamie Kreiter to talk about naming our feelings, crying in front of our kids, and why so many moms hesitate to start therapy.In episode 48, Miss Beth sits down with Jamie Kreiter, a therapist and Big City mom, to explore some of the most pressing issues in early childhood development and parenting like getting ready for your child to go to school, repair, and why some moms might hesitate about starting therapy.Jamie and Beth tackle the bittersweet experience of sending a child off to kindergarten and the importance of naming and acknowledging feelings. They explore whether or not it's okay to cry in front of your child, dispel common misinformation about gentle and respectful parenting, and teaching, and discuss why it's crucial not to let your child become your emotional support.The conversation shifts to practical advice on how to model self-advocacy for your child and how to 'hack your brain' to foster better mental health. They emphasize the importance of positive self-talk for kids and introduce "The Magical Yet," a growth mindset book that's perfect for encouraging resilience in young readers.Jamie also shares her personal experience taking Big City Readers classes, adding a humorous touch by questioning whether she even knows how to read as an adult. The two also talk about smut as a genre and feelings around it.Key Topics Discussed:* Understanding trauma and why some moms avoid therapy* Types of therapy for moms* Dealing with intrusive thoughts as a new mom* Grieving when your child starts kindergarten* The importance of naming feelings* Should you cry in front of your child?* Why your child shouldn't console you* Teaching your child to advocate for themselves* Hacking your brain for better mental health* Positive self-talk and the power of "The Magical Yet"Resources Mentioned: Kindergarten course: click here My Amazon PicksConnect with Us: Follow Big City Readers on Instagram: @bigcityreaders Learn more about Jamie Kreiter and her work: Nurture Therapy Originally Released September 24, 2024Subscribe & Review: If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe and leave a review!

Artificial intelligence is changing everything, from how we learn and work to how the next generation searches for answers about identity, relationships, and even faith. Ryan Helfenbein sits down with Troy Miller, President and CEO of the National Religious Broadcasters, to discuss the growing dangers and opportunities surrounding AI. As young people increasingly turn to artificial intelligence for companionship, guidance, and answers to life's biggest questions, Christians must confront a critical question: What does it truly mean to be human? From social media addiction and parenting to the Imago Dei and the future of the Church, this conversation explores why AI must remain a tool, not a replacement for human relationships, wisdom, community, or God. Can artificial intelligence mimic humanity? Yes. Can it replace what God created? Never.

It is a novel that you'll want to read a second time (or even a third) and discuss with others because there are so many layers. And our book rec segment features female authors in translation.

In this episode of Wake Up, Look Up, Pastor Zach explores the growing tendency for teenagers to self-diagnose mental and emotional struggles and the challenge this creates for parents. He encourages parents to look beyond the labels their children use and instead take time to listen, ask questions, and draw out what is really happening in their hearts and minds. Drawing from Proverbs 25, Pastor Zach reminds us that wisdom means learning to navigate the deep waters of the heart and creating a culture where honest conversation can flourish.Have an article you'd like Pastor Zach to discuss?

What does it look like to build something that can outlast you? Join Jason Squires and Jeremy Willet, founder of The Million Movement, as he shares what inspired him to launch a vision bigger than himself.

Planning for your child's future can feel like trying to make financial decisions about a life that hasn't happened yet. Will they go to college? Choose a trade? Stay close to home? Go out of state? What will it cost? How much should you pay? And how do you save for their future while still paying down debt, preparing for retirement, and taking care of everything your family needs today? Those unanswered questions can make it tempting to wait until you have a clearer plan. Mary Ann and Bereket Kelile explore a different approach: start with what you value, think about the future you're trying to support, and then let the numbers help you determine what's actually possible. That may mean funding part of an education rather than all of it, balancing college savings with retirement, considering different educational paths, or creating enough flexibility that the money can still serve your child when their plans inevitably change. They also discuss 529 plans, brokerage accounts, scholarships, Roth IRAs, planning for multiple children, and why parents don't have to carry 100% of the cost themselves. But underneath all of those choices is a much simpler principle: you don't need every answer before you begin. A small amount saved consistently today gives you something that waiting for the perfect plan never will—time.

James Tynion IV is a modern master of the horror comic. He's the maniac behind so many contemporary classic series, but perhaps none are such pop-culture behemoths as Something is Killing the Children. I mean… with a title like that, how could it fail? With the new omnibus collection out right now, and an in-world novel (co-authored with Kiersten White) coming in October, I thought now was a good time to get James on the show and talk monsters, masks, mythology and the most baddass hero in graphic novels.

Does your child insist that only Mom can do bedtime? And they refuse to let Dad put them to bed? Parent preference at bedtime is incredibly common, especially during the toddler and preschool years. But while it's normal, that doesn't mean you have to accept a situation where only one parent can handle bedtime every night. In this episode, Allison explains why children develop a strong preference for one parent at bedtime and, more importantly, exactly how to help your child become comfortable with both parents doing bedtime. Allison shares a simple approach that she has seen work repeatedly with families, and says that many children begin to adjust within about a week when parents consistently follow the plan. In this episode, you'll learn: Why a child may strongly prefer one parent at bedtime Why parent preference does not mean your child loves the other parent less Why solving this issue can benefit the entire family How to establish a simple alternating bedtime schedule Why the parent whose turn it is should handle the entire bedtime routine from start to finish Why having both parents participate in bedtime can sometimes make the struggle worse What to say when your child protests or has a meltdown Why the preferred parent should not rescue the other parent during a difficult bedtime How to respond calmly while allowing your child to have big feelings Why the first few bedtimes may be rough, and why consistency matters How keeping the bedtime routine consistent between parents can help What to do if the bedtime struggle seems to involve more than just parent preference Chapter Markers: 00:00 – Allison's Maine & Acadia trip update 02:36 – When your child only wants one parent at bedtime 03:20 – Why parent preference at bedtime is completely normal 04:45 – Why it's worth helping your child accept both parents 06:05 – The key strategy: Take turns doing bedtime 07:25 – Why one parent should do the entire bedtime routine 08:35 – How to introduce the new bedtime plan 09:30 – What to say when your child protests 10:25 – Let the big feelings happen and keep moving 11:05 – Why the other parent shouldn't "rescue" bedtime 12:30 – How to handle a major bedtime meltdown 14:00 – Expect a few bumpy nights 15:15 – How quickly children usually adjust 16:10 – Keep the bedtime routine consistent between parents 17:00 – The one-week plan for ending parent preference 18:05 – When to seek additional help with bedtime struggles 18:40 – Final thoughts on parent preference at bedtime If you're in the middle of the "ONLY MOM!" or "ONLY DAD!" bedtime trenches, this episode will give you a practical plan for getting out of them.

What is your child saying to themselves when they make a mistake?“I'm terrible at this.”“I'll never get it.”“Maybe I'm just not talented enough.”Those statements may sound harmless in the moment—but repeated negative self-talk can begin shaping what a child believes about themselves.In Episode 162 of High Performance Parenting, Greg Francis continues his Champion Mindset conversation with his daughter Crissy as they explore the connection between self-talk, mental toughness, preparation, discipline, and performance.Crissy openly shares that she can be her own worst critic and has had to intentionally change the way she speaks to herself on the tennis court and in everyday life.In this episode, you'll discover:Why champions aren't simply born with stronger mindsHow mental toughness can be intentionally developedWhy negative self-talk affects performanceHow children unintentionally reinforce limiting beliefsWhat athletes can say after mistakes instead of attacking themselvesWhy discipline now prevents regret laterHow physical preparation and mental preparation work togetherWhy children need to focus on what they can controlHow to help kids stop comparing their circumstances to othersWhy becoming champion-minded requires changing daily habitsCrissy explains that instead of reacting to a mistake with frustration, she's learning to respond with thoughts such as “It wasn't my best, but it was closer.” That seemingly small shift helps her remain in a productive mental state rather than spiraling into criticism.Greg also shares an important warning:Your subconscious starts believing what you repeatedly tell it.That's why helping kids develop healthy, truthful, productive self-talk is about much more than sports.It's preparing them for life.
As a child, Lim Muy Lang grew up in a prosperous Sino-Khmer family in Cambodia's capital, Phnom Penh, in the late 1960s and early 1970s. When the Khmer Rouge seized power in April 1975, her family, along with the entire population of Phnom Penh, was forced to immediately leave the city for the countryside. What followed was a harrowing struggle for survival under the Khmer Rouge's radical revolutionary regime, which led to the deaths of all of Muy Lang's immediate family members, and much of her extended family. In the Shadow of the Khmer Rouge: A Child Survivor's Memoir (NUS Press, 2026), is Muy Lang's account of what happened. It's a story of almost unimaginable pain, cruelty, and loss, but also an incredible struggle for survival. And not least, the book is a delightful, deeply personal recollection of childhood and family life in Cambodia before 1975. Learn more about your ad choices.

Steve is a natural as a host. He found his passion for the radio business at the age of six, but wasn't able to fulfill that dream till a little later in life. As you listen to the wonderful stories Steve shares, you'll find out that he was raised by both his maternal grandmother and his mom. "Grandmother was worthless until a crisis. Grandmother was my mother, my light. 'Mother', as he refers to his mom, was my 'dad'-the two women set up those 'roles'," McCurdy shares. You'll hear Steve repeat over and over again how magnificent his mother was -"a powerful, independent woman with a great, great mind, yet she wanted to be wild and crazy and she never really got to do that." Plus, Margie never went to college because any money the family had went to Margie's brother's wants and needs. Margie started working in a local bank in Texas at 16 and because of her expertise, hard work and dedication over decades of running the Proof Department, she was able to apply for a program through Southwest Institute Of Graduate Business Studies and SMU. Because she had never gotten and undergraduate degree, she was able to take an exam, passed the test with flying colors, got her undergraduate degree certificate based on her lifelong experience and the exam and became the first person to ever complete a Masters program at SMU without having actually attended college. There is more to this story as it was taking place in the late 60's and the Civil Rights Movement. Steve's mother made a considerable effort to train the other female employees and not just overlook them because she knew they were intelligent and capable to do any job if trained properly. There's so much more to Steve's story. Hope you enjoy this episode of SHLTMM. Steve.mccurdy@storymastermedia.com CrossRoadDiner@storymastermedia.com "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

In this very honest conversation, Danny looks like a regular Torah guy living a normal life. But underneath, he struggles with anger, harsh self-criticism, and a cycle of shame that leads him to pornography and sexually acting out in search of connection.Dr. Z helps Danny recognize that constantly fighting the darkness inside him may actually be keeping him stuck. Instead, he needs to understand what triggers the negativity, learn how to sit with it without letting it control him, and accept that struggling does not mean he is failing.Danny knows many of the right things to say, but knowing is not the same as doing the work. Dr. Z challenges him to put his ego aside, stop trying to fight this alone, and find someone he can truly open up to. Sometimes the hardest part of “manning up” is admitting you need help and allowing yourself to be vulnerable.To be a future guest (yes, we can distort your voice):Please visit LivingLchaim.com/podcasttherapyYou can explore the world of mental health with our other show "That's An Issue":https://plinkhq.com/i/1607752110/e/?to_pageReach out to Dr. Z here:Child and Adult Psychological Services, PLLCEmail: [Info@caapsgroup.com](mailto:Info@caapsgroup.com)Office: (718) 338-4477Website: https://caapsgroup.comLchaim.

If your child has eczema that keeps coming back, gets constipated for days at a time, or has had one ear infection after another, this episode is for you. These usually get treated as three separate problems by three different specialists. This week's guest, Dr. Sheila Kilbane says they are often one problem showing up in three places, and dairy is frequently part of it. She is a board certified pediatrician who trained in integrative medicine at the University of Arizona. She did not set out to change how she practiced. She just kept listening to moms who told her their child improved after cutting dairy, and eventually she went looking for why. In this episode she walks through the case that changed everything. She explains the cup of inflammation, which is the simplest way I have heard anyone describe why symptoms cluster. She covers what to do first, why she starts with magnesium, why you should never stop dairy cold turkey, and how to protect your child's bones while you do it. Your child is not a difficult case. Their cup is just full. Want more practical health tips?

The Dirt Bike Kid (1985) Directed by David Zucker Starring: Peter Billingsley, Stuart Pankin, Patrick Collins, Chad SheetsThe Thing with Two Heads (1972) Directed by Lee Frost Starring: Ray Milland, Roosevelt "Rosey" Grier, Don Marshall, Roger PerryA haunted dirt bike and a racist surgeon's severed head walk into a double feature — honestly, what more do you need to know? This week we're kicking off a brand new segment on the show: once a month, we're pitting two deliriously stupid movies against each other in the same episode, and we couldn't think of a better place to start than a sentient magic dirt bike saving a hot dog stand and a two-headed man tearing across the countryside on that exact same bike. Buckle up, because dirt bikes and dickheads is officially our theme.In this episode, we discuss:A Bike Powered by Magic (and Child's Assholes) — We break down how a broke kid trades his grocery money for a supercharged, sentient dirt bike that flies, fights bulldozers, and somehow gets arrested by actual police. We argue about where this movie even takes place, why nobody questions a bike driving itself through town, and how this kid could've just eaten free hot dogs forever instead of going through all this trouble.The Most Trumpian Real Estate Scheme of 1985 — The real villain of Dirt Bike Kid isn't the bike, it's a sleazy banker inflating land values to steamroll a hot dog stand for his own bank. We get into the shockingly adult subtext buried in this PG kids movie, including Playboy magazines and a genuinely unhinged number of food fights.And in our next movie, The Thing with Two Heads:Two Heads, One Body, Zero Chill — We dive into the gloriously unhinged premise of a dying racist surgeon getting his head grafted onto a death row inmate's body, and somehow that's not even the weirdest part. The neck-brace special effects, the mismatched head makeup, and the sheer audacity of the mirror gag get the full breakdown.The Chase Scene That Just Won't End — We argue over exactly how long the climactic two-headed-man-on-a-dirt-bike police chase actually runs (10 minutes? 20?), and why it might be one of the most purely entertaining sequences either of us has watched for this show. Funk soundtrack included.New episodes of the Dewey Pod Monster podcast drop every week. We're proud members of the YouRun Podcast Network at https://yourunpodcast.com.
You are not actually afraid of rejection. You are afraid of not being wanted, and those are two different wounds.In this video on the fear of rejection, I show you why no one has ever actually rejected you, and what was really happening instead.Most content on the fear of rejection teaches you how to soothe it. This one dismantles the premise. Nobody ever rejects us. All anyone is ever doing is pursuing their own needs and wants. What you call rejection is the moment you handed your value and worth to another person and made them responsible for deciding whether you keep it. And the survival persona you built to avoid rejection is the exact thing guaranteeing you never feel wanted, because even if they want you, they are wanting a version you manufactured.I walk through my own years of constructing manipulative text messages instead of simply asking do you like me, a client who could not name his fear until he said out loud I am not okay with not being wanted, the Worst Day Cycle™ that installed this in childhood, the Authentic Self Cycle™ that gets you out, the first 6 steps of Emotional Authenticity, and the child versus adult emotional definition of worth.No one can reject you. They can only pursue their own needs and wants. What you call rejection is your value and worth being outsourced to someone else's preference.Rejection is a preference, not a verdict. When someone chooses differently, they are picking their own pizza toppings. They are not rejecting your eyes, your body, or your interests. They are pursuing the pizza they like.A survival persona cannot receive love. Affection sent to a manufactured version of you cannot land on the real you, so being liked becomes proof that nobody knows you. That is why reassurance never works on the fear of not being wanted.Your worth is either inherent or it is on loan. Adults never place the responsibility of determining their worth in somebody else's hands. Every time you edit yourself down to be chosen, you are running a childhood definition of value written before you could speak.Kenny Weiss is a relationship, communication and trauma recovery specialist and the creator of the Worst Day Cycle™, the Authentic Self Cycle™, and the Emotional Authenticity Method™.

Tonight, I am reading the Child's Story by Charles Dickens. Originally published in the 1800s, The Child's Story is a timeless account of the journey we all take from carefree childhood to spontaneous youth, to adulthood and marriage, and into our golden years. It is nearly 150 years after its original publication, and I still find it quite profound and emotional. For a version without our relaxing music, please scroll up to the next episode.

As a child, Lim Muy Lang grew up in a prosperous Sino-Khmer family in Cambodia's capital, Phnom Penh, in the late 1960s and early 1970s. When the Khmer Rouge seized power in April 1975, her family, along with the entire population of Phnom Penh, was forced to immediately leave the city for the countryside. What followed was a harrowing struggle for survival under the Khmer Rouge's radical revolutionary regime, which led to the deaths of all of Muy Lang's immediate family members, and much of her extended family. In the Shadow of the Khmer Rouge: A Child Survivor's Memoir (NUS Press, 2026), is Muy Lang's account of what happened. It's a story of almost unimaginable pain, cruelty, and loss, but also an incredible struggle for survival. And not least, the book is a delightful, deeply personal recollection of childhood and family life in Cambodia before 1975.

Signs Your Child Is Going Through Something! Are you a parent that is telling yourself your child will out grow whatever they are going through? My child just needs time? My child doesn't act like this at home? If you answer yes this podcast is for you. Lets look at signs your child is displaying and how to best help your child versus waiting for things to change on their own.
Tuesday, 1 September 2026 The same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Him and asked Him, Matthew 22:23 “In that, the ‘day', they approached Him, Sadducees (saying not is ‘resurrection'), and they queried Him.” (CG) In the previous verse, the Pharisees and Herodians marveled at Jesus' words and departed. Maybe having seen or heard about this, another group comes forward, ready to test Him. Matthew records, “In that, the ‘day', they approached Him, Sadducees.” This sect was first seen, along with the Pharisees, in Matthew 3:7. This was at the time John the Baptist was baptizing in the Jordan. They were noted again, several times in Matthew 16. Their specific interaction at that time was with Jesus as they, along with the Pharisees, asked for a sign from heaven. Of this group of religious leaders, Matthew specifically notes a point of doctrine that they held to, which is “(saying not is ‘resurrection').” Surprisingly, this is a new word in Scripture, anastasis, a standing up again. It is from the word an anistémi, to stand up. That is prefixed with the word ana, up, but used in various other ways in a distributive manner. In the New Testament, other than Luke 2:34, anastasis is always used in reference to a resurrection. In Luke 2:34, it says – “Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary His mother, ‘Behold, this Child is destined for the fall and rising [anastasis] of many in Israel, and for a sign which will be spoken against...” As for the reason they have come to Jesus, Matthew records, “and they queried Him.” The word used to describe their query is one of deliberate asking. Thus, their query is specifically designed to glean an answer or response from Jesus about a matter. Life application: In 1 Corinthians 15, Paul writes the following – “Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen. 14 And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty. 15 Yes, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ, whom He did not raise up—if in fact the dead do not rise. 16 For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen. 17 And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins! 18 Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.” 1 Corinthians 15:12-19 The key point of Christian faith is that Jesus Christ rose from the dead. The cross of Christ is the key focus of our faith, and the point on which every Christian's boast should be directed (see Galatians 6:14), but a crucifixion without a subsequent resurrection is a pointless place to direct one's hope. Many people have been crucified in human history. They died, and they remain dead. But Jesus was resurrected from the tomb. This event then solidifies the meaning of the cross. Someone can say, “I will give up my life to save another.” And, in fact, many have done that throughout human history. But that type of saving is only to prolong the temporary life we live. A soldier could jump on a grenade to save his fellow soldier, but the saved soldier could be shot dead thirty seconds later. Both are dead and both will remain dead. However, no human can die for another's sin when they have already inherited Adam's fallen nature. The sin is there in us from the moment we are conceived. Various pagan religions sacrificed babies, young virgins, etc., all hoping for some type of atonement, but such a sacrifice is ineffectual because of original sin. Jesus, however, was born without Adam's fallen nature. His father is God. Thus, with a human mother, He is the God/Man. He was born without sin, He lived under the law without sinning, and He died in fulfilment of the law, taking away sin committed under law for those who trust in Him. The resurrection proves that our sin is atoned for. It also proves that we are eternally saved (because we are no longer under law, and it is by law that sin is imputed). The resurrection also proves that Jesus is God. As all humans who descend from Adam have sin through their father, and because Jesus resurrected, it proves that Jesus' Father is God. As all beings reproduce after their own kind, the resurrection provides irrefutable proof that Jesus Christ is the God/Man. Hope? Hope? We have the greatest hope of all when we put our trust in Jesus Christ. Nothing can ever separate us from God again when we come to Him through Jesus Christ. Let us remember this as we pass through this world of toil, trouble, trial, and times of temptation or turmoil. These things are bound to come, but Christ has overcome the world. For those who are in Him, they too have overcome the world. Praise God for Jesus Christ our Lord! We praise and exalt You for what You have done for us, O God. The majesty of what You have done is more wonderful than all else. Thank You for the giving of Jesus Christ our Lord, in whom, we now have the hope of the resurrection to eternal life. Amen.
In this episode of the What's Wrong with Our Field? series, I tackle a major challenge for child-centered play therapists: supervision from someone who doesn't understand or practice CCPT. When a supervisor works from a completely different theoretical orientation—or doesn't even work with children—their recommendations can directly conflict with the model we're committed to following. I discuss the difficult position this creates for supervisees, why adherence is often mislabeled as "rigidity," and why we cannot expect child-centered guidance from someone who isn't child-centered themselves. I also explore a larger problem with supervision: too often, there is no framework or structure designed to intentionally develop clinical competence. Supervision shouldn't simply be bringing in a random case and asking, "What do you want to talk about today?" I explain why CCPT supervision needs scaffolding, skill development, video review, and a clear path toward mastery—and what therapists can do when a qualified CCPT supervisor simply isn't available.
