Welcome to CHUCKYVISION, a podcast about the horror franchise Child's Play/Chucky, the surrounding culture and other killer doll films. Mark brings in a special guest, James Greenwood (probably Britain's most loved wrestling referee), to chat about Chucky, the new board game.

Welcome to the School of Ministry Podcast where we examine James' instruction that true faith is alive and visible: it produces works as evidence, not to earn salvation but to demonstrate it. Using Abraham and Rahab as examples, the episode explains how genuine belief is shown by obedience and a transformed life, calling listeners to be doers of the Word and allowing Christ to be seen within the Child of God's life.
In 1989, a friendly snow day turned into a tragedy. Seven-year-old Jessica Carr had just beaten her 9-year-old neighbor, Cameron Kocher, at Nintendo. Hours later, he shot her in the back while she rode a snowmobile—then calmly returned to his video game.Charged with murder but sentenced to probation, Cameron walked away without a criminal record. Should a child who kills ever walk free? This case forces us to confront the uncomfortable intersection of youth, violence, and justice.Follow True Crime Recaps for weekly cases that shock, disturb, and challenge what we think we know about justice.
The Language of Play - Kids that Listen, Speech Therapy, Language Development, Early Intervention
Hey Friends~ When we talk to our kids, we use words that represent whole concepts all the time. We do it so spontaneously that it's difficult to communicate without using such words. When our kids don't have a good repertoire of concept - type words, it makes it difficult for them to do as told, express themselves, or deliver a message, accurately. Today we discuss what concept words are, why they are important AND what you can do to increase understanding at home! This is the fun part! You don't need flashcards. You don't need apps. You already have everything you need to teach these words—just by playing, talking, and living life with your child. I am going to call attention to what you already have and know… so that you can be intentional when you are teaching them. Always cheering you on!

In recent years, more and more women have been speaking openly about their decision to not have children. There are numerous books on the subject, dedicated social media spaces for childfree women and an ever increasing media interest in sharing the stories of those who refuse to go down this well-trodden path. However, some of the lesser told childfree stories are those of older women, who went against the grain at a time when motherhood was not only expected of women, but regarded as central to their lives. In this episode, Róisín Ingle is joined by one such woman, 77 year-old writer and academic Helen Taylor, who from a very young age decided not to have children. In her new book Childless by Choice: The Meaning and Legacy of a Child-free Life, Helen shares her reasons for choosing to remain childfree and she unpacks the complex feelings that have accompanied her choice. In this wide-ranging conversation, she tells Róisín Ingle where she draws meaning in life, how she dealt with moments of regret and what she wants women to know about the later stages of a child-free life.

On this week's episode of The 1 Girl Revolution Podcast, we welcome Leia Hunt — cancer survivor, inspirational speaker, author, and founder of Leia's Kids - a nonprofit dedicated to supporting children and families battling cancer. Leia's own cancer journey began when she was just two years old, after being diagnosed with a rare form of eye cancer. She endured 26 surgeries and multiple rounds of chemotherapy, ultimately losing sight in one eye. But instead of letting her struggles define her, Leia turned her pain into purpose — speaking at the White House, working alongside the American Cancer Society and the Eye Tumor Research Foundation, and inspiring countless others through her story. At just 18 years old, while still in high school, Leia founded Leia's Kids — a nonprofit dedicated to supporting children and families battling childhood cancer. As a survivor herself, Leia knows firsthand the challenges these children and their families face. Her organization provides financial grants, hosts dream parties, organizes mental health retreats, and so much more — offering not just support, but joy, hope, and a sense of community during some of life's hardest moments. In this episode, you'll hear: ✨ Leia's incredible journey as a child with cancer and now as a cancer survivor; ✨ How her childhood experiences inspired her to start Leia's Kids at just 18; ✨ The heart and mission behind Leia's Kids — and the life-changing impact they have on families; ✨ Stories from the dream parties, retreats, and programs she's created; ✨ How faith and resilience have guided her through challenges; ✨ What she's learned about life, hope, and community from the children she serves; ✨ And so much more!

Coda #46 comes from Bill McKibben, veteran climate change activist and founder of multiple campaigns and organisations – check out Strength&Solidarity Ep. 57. He told us how hard it can be to stay optimistic, when the odds against success seem high.

In this episode, I respond to a question from Jenn in Connecticut, a mom navigating ongoing conflict between her two teenage sons. Despite being in individual therapy, the boys struggle to connect, and family time has become a battleground. I explore how small, seemingly insignificant moments build over time to shape strained relationships, and I offer a practical, child-centered strategy to help restore connection—without forcing it. You'll hear how unconditional acceptance, consistent presence, and one-on-one time with each parent can slowly begin to heal fractured sibling dynamics. I also explain why the boys being in therapy is already a powerful start toward change, and how their personal growth will ripple through the family system over time.

When an investor pulled the plug on a £3m cash injection for Joanna Jensen's fledgling business, it could not have come at a worse time. The Childs Farm founder was just about to launch in two of the UK's biggest high street stores, and was also going through a divorce and moving out of the family home with her two young daughters. Joanna tells Evan Davis how the last-minute let-down taught her who she could trust in business and what she needed to look for in a future financial partner.Producer: Georgiana Tudor Series Producer: Simon Tulett Editor: Matt Willis Sound: Gareth Jones and Matt Cadman Production co-ordinator: Katie Morrison(Image: Photographer: Emily Patrick.

In this episode, I respond to a listener question about how to handle situations where children want their creations or work in the playroom to remain untouched between sessions. Whether it's a LEGO build, a coloring page, or a carefully constructed scene, children often seek a sense of permanence and control. I walk through how to stay adherent to the CCPT model while addressing those needs with clarity, neutrality, and empathy. I share the importance of setting factual expectations, reflecting needs and emotions without overstepping into agenda-driven responses, and avoiding limits where they aren't necessary. This episode covers not only the clinical “how,” but the philosophical “why” behind these decisions—reminding us that our role is to allow children to process, feel, and grow, not to rescue them from discomfort.

Literacy begins with embracing the whole child, says Stacy Benge, an expert on early literacy and a proponent of child-led learning. Her mission to help educators approach literacy in a way that builds confident, curious, lifelong learners.In this podcast, Stacy defines child-led learning (and dispels myths about it), including the difference between child-led and adult-led learning. Stacy also explains how child-led learning develops skills essential to literacy, and go through each of them: language, visual perception, phonological awareness and physical development. She recommends 90 minutes of uninterrupted time in which children are completely in control."When I was in the classroom, I found that that's when most of my behavior issues released," she says. Stacy also describes how listeners can create spaces that promote child- led play and connect all types of play to literacy development!"Play is that critical piece for that language to develop. I always say a quiet classroom does not produce language," says Stacy.To learn more about Stacy and her work, visit www.stacybenge.com. You also can connect with her on Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook. Her book, "The Whole Child Alphabet: How Young Children Actually Develop Literacy" is available for purchase on the Exchange Press website.

Child actor Gary Coleman made a big cultural mark on the 1980s in his role as Arnold Jackson on Diff'rent Strokes - "Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, Willis?" was his notable catchphrase on the show. But the young man who emerged from the series in 1986 had a hard road ahead of him. Because of health issues stemming from his earliest days, he retained his childlike stature and appearance, and the $18 million he had earned as the highest paid child actor of the decade had been pilfered by none other than his parents. His life never got less complicated. Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more? Join us at patreon.com/trashydivorces!

Half of Aussie kids say they’ve been bullied in the past year — and for some, it’s relentless. If your child is caught in the middle of it, you can feel powerless, worried, and desperate for answers. In this powerful conversation, Professor Donna Cross shares a simple but life-changing 4-step approach to help your child feel heard, supported, and in control — plus what to try when you’ve “done it all” and nothing changes. You’ll learn: The hidden signs your child is struggling (and what not to miss) Why face-to-face bullying is still more common than cyberbullying The LATE model — a simple framework to guide every conversation Why walking or sitting side-by-side helps kids open up How to help when the bullying won’t stop — even after trying everything When changing schools is worth considering (and how to make it work) QUOTE OF THE EPISODE "Don’t take the wheel — take the ride.

“For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.” ~ Proverbs 2:6 “3. The atrium is a community in which children and adults live together a religious experience that facilitates participation in the wider community of the family, the church, and other social spheres. • The atrium is a place of prayer, in which work and study spontaneously become meditation, contemplation, and prayer. • The atrium is a place in which the only Teacher is Christ; both children and adults place themselves in a listening stance before his Word and seek to penetrate the mystery of the liturgical celebration.” - 32 Points of Reflection of The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Submit a Podcast Listener Question HERE!

AUDIOBOOK: Audiobook – Now Available on Audible CGSUSA is excited to offer you the audio version of The Religious Potential of the Child – 3rd Edition by Sofia Cavalletti, read by Rebekah Rojcewicz! The Religious Potential of the Child is not a “how-to” book, complete with lesson plans and material ideas. Instead it offers a glimpse into the religious life of the atrium, a specially prepared place for children to live out their silent request: “Help me come closer to God by myself.” Here we can see the child's spiritual capabilities and perhaps even find in our own souls the child long burdened with religious information.

Welcome to another gloriously unhinged One Star Review episode of Terror Talk Podcast, where we take the horror (and horror-adjacent) masterpieces you love — and read the most ridiculous, petty, and downright baffling one-star reviews the internet has to offer.This week, we're taking aim at:The Texas Chainsaw Massacre – Apparently, some folks think Leatherface just needs a hug.Fright Night – Because who wouldn't move in next door to a vampire?Jaws – “Too much shark.” (Yes… really.)Child's Play – A doll possessed by a killer is unrealistic? Say it ain't so.Silence of the Lambs – The reviews that will make you want to eat fava beans and chianti out of sheer frustration.Interview with the Vampire – Evidently, eternal life isn't enough to keep some reviewers entertained.We roast these reviews, defend our beloved horror classics, and occasionally wonder if the reviewers even watched the movie they're trashing. Spoilers abound — you've been warned!If you love horror, hate nonsense, and enjoy a good laugh at the expense of people with wildly bad takes, this is the episode for you. Whether you're a gorehound, a horror historian, or just here for the sarcasm, you'll feel right at home.Instagram: @terrortalkpodcastYouTube: TerrorTalk PodcastFacebook: Halloween All Year LongMusic Credit: Original music by Mannequin Uprising.

SUMMARY: *Anita shares her personal journey of facing an unplanned pregnancy at 17, navigating the emotional turmoil of telling her pastor father and the challenges of societal expectations. *Raised in a loving Christian family, she struggled with feelings of shame and the weight of her decision regarding her pregnancy. *After much prayer and reflection, she chose to place her child for adoption, believing it was in the best interest of her baby. *Throughout her experience, she highlights the importance of relationship over rules, the unconditional love of God, and the grace she received from her family and church community. *Anita emphasizes the significance of seeking God and the transformative power of sharing her story, which ultimately led her to start a ministry focused on helping others connect with God through His Word. *Her first-hand experience illustrates themes of love, redemption, and the importance of trusting in God's plan during difficult times. PODCAST INTRO: Have you ever struggled with God over a problem that is very heavy and even traumatic? Maybe it's a consequence from a choice you made or maybe it is a problem someone created for you (based on their choices). Either way, you're faced with a difficult decision. My guest, Anita Keagy shares about her unplanned pregnancy at 17 and the all the different ways that God met her in her circumstance. Anita's family had always provided a strong foundation of faith in Christ and they pointed her to Him again when she needed clarity, answers, direction, forgiveness. As you'll hear in her story, God was ahead of her need beginning with a relocation. God had already stirred her pastor father to look for a church in Lancaster, PA. Her father was offered a pastoral job so they had just recently moved when Anita discovers she's pregnant. The church that the Lord placed them in welcomed them with kindness and the desire to help them. It was a church family and environment that would be supportive to a new pastor and his family including an unwed 17 year old pregnant daughter. When Anita asked God what was best for her baby she felt she'd heard clearly that adoption was to be her choice. Even after making the decision she felt God was leading her toward, as her belly grows and she begins to feel the baby move, she second guesses whether it was God she heard or herself. Have you ever been there? Trying to discern whether you heard God right, did He really say that? I think that question is as old as the Garden of Eden. It's that struggle where we're asking/wondering, was that your voice God or my internal voice? As we all know, adoption does not end with a decision. This is an issue of the human heart and there is a lifetime ahead both for the mother and the child. Anita points out her concerns about creating abandonment and rejection issues for her daughter. Even though she had prayed and requested a Christian family for her daughter, Anita still had anxiety wondering if her little girl was safe, loved, protected. In the delivery room, Anita had only heard her daughter cry, she did not get to see her nor hold her so Anita's heart ached to meet the baby that had changed her life. She so desired to learn more about her. In our conversation, you can tell that Anita's heart was broken but she held on to hope that God would one day allow a reunion and Anita would actually meet, touch, hug her daughter, hear her daughter's voice once again. There are many precious moments that Anita shares but the one that stood out to me was the exchange that she and God had in a quiet moment together and God speaks into her spirit about His longing for the orphan hearts of the children that He desires to adopt and even those who have professed Him as their Savior but have yet to make Him the Lord of their life through reading His word, talking with Him and creating intimate relationship. As God speaks into Anita's spirit, the revelation that God shares is a pivotal moment in her life and her ministry is born. She has an incredibly hope filled heart to model and equip, in a simple way, how to engage the heart of God, pursue Him and grow in intimacy. Listen in to hear how God walked with Anita in the midst of her unplanned pregnancy. Learn what is was like for Anita to finally meet her daughter. And to me, the cherry on top of it all, the beauty of God's ability to use the pain of Anita's broken heart yearning for her daughter and exchange it for something far more beautiful than Anita could think to ask for. That's our God; to take the pain of this life, dismantle it with His truth and His love, repurpose it and bring beauty! A true beauty for ashes story. Let's listen in!

Since then, she has traveled nationwide and internationally, sharing her message of seeking God first each day as the key to abundant life and joy. Thousands of people have heard and responded to her dynamic message at conferences, retreats, school chapel settings and churches. With a compelling story of how God used a very difficult situation in her life for His glory, Anita shares candidly how she became pregnant as a teenager – all the more “scandalous” because she was a preacher's daughter – and made the difficult choice to place her daughter for adoption. Although she never had the privilege to see or hold her child, Anita never stopped yearning to know her first-born daughter, even as she married and had four more children. Through a file of letters and the help of her adoption agency, Anita finally met her firstborn 21 years later. God used Anita's own desire to know her child to impress upon her how much He wants to know His children – us! With that knowledge, a ministry was born that is now thriving and impacting lives every day. Anita is the author of, “The File: A Mother and Child's Life-Changing Reunion.” Her motivational 6 session DVD series, “Seeking God First,” has encouraged and challenged those who long for a deeper relationship with God. Her DVD, “Letters to an Unknown Daughter” is her personal testimony of motherhood, hope, and healing. Her book and DVD series, along with additional supportive materials, can be purchased on her website. Anita Keagy lives in Washington Boro, Pennsylvania, with her husband Paul. She is the mother of 5 adult children, and 11 grandchildren. She attended Messiah College and received training from both Kay Arthur, of Precept Ministries, and Anne Graham Lotz.
Flooding in Tennessee prompts hundreds of rescues. The AP's Jennifer King reports.
Hosts: Dr. Ashlee Gethner, LCSW – Child of a Police Officer Jennifer Woosley Saylor, LPCC S – Child of a Police Officer Episode Overview: In this candid episode, Ashlee and Jennifer turn the mics on themselves to dive into their personal journeys, career paths, and how being raised in first responder families shapes not only your worldview but your entire emotional toolkit. The duo explores themes of resilience, family systems, vulnerability, and the ongoing impact of childhood experiences into adult life. Key Topics Covered The First Responder Family System: Jennifer and Ashlee reflect on the unique resilience, values, and awareness that come from growing up in a first responder household. They discuss how these environments often foster critical thinking, acute emotional intelligence, but also present real challenges especially around chaos, structure, and sometimes rigid expectations. Career Paths: Ashlee and Jennifer share their motivating moments that led them to helping professions (social work, mental health), including behind-the-scenes stories about family, pivotal college classes, and the “aha” moments that cemented their purpose. Candid talk about how family experiences (including tough love and the need to “prove ourselves”) shape career choices and attitudes. Family Dynamics & Resiliency: A reflection on the double-edged sword of first responder family dynamics. The strong values and community, alongside the strictness and sometimes unintentionally harsh communication styles that get carried from the field into the home. Insights into how these family systems continue to evolve as children grow into adults and re-negotiate relationships with their parents. Vulnerability & Forgiveness: The importance of parents, especially first responders, showing vulnerability and apologizing when things go wrong. How open, honest dialogue between parent and child can build long-term resilience and deep family bonds, even (or especially) after conflict. Parenting Reflections: Both hosts admit the learning curve of parenting, and the hope to do things differently while acknowledging that every generation makes mistakes. The value of simply saying “I’m sorry” as a parent.
