Send us a textIn this episode, I dive into several explosive stories starting with Ghislaine Maxwell's recent DOJ interview about Jeffrey Epstein's death in prison and why I think her response keeps everyone safe while deflecting from the real client list - which leads me to break down every single person circled in Epstein's black book and what their connections might mean. Then I shift to a massive tea dump on RHOA Real Housewives of Atlanta season 17 (filming now), covering NeNe Leakes setting the record straight about comeback rumors, Kim Zolciak-Biermann's custody battle with Kroy and how she's affording her new rental, the cast shakeups including new addition K. Michelle and her scandalous backstory, plus Drew Sidora's upcoming sci-fi thriller premiere being filmed for the show. I also expose the messy financial reality behind Porsha Williams' divorce settlement with Simon Guobadia and that strategic attorney's lien, then break down Kelli Ferrell's ex-husband Chuvalo Mark Ferrell's explosive interview with Tasha K where he tells his side of their business dispute that paints a very different picture of who really built and lost Nana's Chicken and Waffles. I take you through the receipts. Finally, I investigate the bombshell $50 million lawsuit filed in 2025 against Priscilla Presley with horrific allegations about Lisa Marie Presley's death, but after digging deep into the accusers' Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko's backgrounds, I uncover why this might be the ultimate elder abuse shakedown scheme.Link to Black book with circles: https://embed.documentcloud.org/documents/1508273-jeffrey-epsteins-little-black-book-redacted/TIME CODES:0:00 - Intro/Opening0:32 - Ghislaine Maxwell DOJ Interview About Epstein's Death6:38 - Epstein Black Book Deep Dive - Every Circled Name Revealed13:18 - RHOA Season 17 Tea Dump Begins14:45 - Drew Sidora vs Shamea Morton Purse Drama Aftermath16:13 - NeNe Leakes Sets Record Straight on Comeback Rumors17:44 - Kim Zolciak-Biermann Custody Battle with Kroy22:07 - Drew Sidora's Sci-Fi Movie Premiere Filming23:44 - K.

What happens when we get closer to Jesus? What happens when we go from the “Crowd” to the “Core”? The closer we get to Jesus, the more we experience his power, revel in his glory, and participate in his plan for our lives! Jesus didn't use the crowd to change the world, but those who were CLOSEST to him. And he's not just calling a few to be close to him, but all of us. Ultimately, only a few will say yes. How can we take that bold step of faith to follow his call?

A one year course for students of the occult in their quest for wisdom, revelation and enlightenment.In the third volume of his popular series of textbooks for students of the Western mystery tradition, John Michael Greer conducts training for a self-taught course for students to advance to the third degree of the Golden Section Fellowship.Building on the lessons and meditations of The Way of the Golden Section and The Way of the Four Elements, Greer presents an accessible guide for students to comprehend and access more of their own inner capabilities, bringing them closer to – and allowing them to experience for themselves – the transcendent spiritual realities at the heart of things.Drawing on teachings from the Universal Gnostic Church, American occult teachings, and temple tradition, The Way of the Secret Temple is divided into seven circles of studies and practices, each taking at least a month to complete. Students embarking on this course will become proficient in working with sacred geometry in temple design, using palm centres to heal and bless, fulfilling the duties of each of the five minor orders of the Universal Gnostic Church, and will develop their skills of communing with the spirits of the elements – as well as much more!The Way of the Secret Temple is the third step for students of the occult to continue developing and honing the skills essential for a magical education.John Michael Greer is the award-winning author of more than fifty books, including The New Encyclopedia of the Occult, The Druidry Handbook, The Celtic Golden Dawn and Circles of Power: An Introduction to Hermetic Magic. An initiate in Freemasonry, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the Martinist Order, and three Druid traditions, Greer served as the Grand Archdruid of the Ancient Order of Druids in America (AODA) for twelve years. He is also the author of seventeen fantasy and science fiction novels and ten nonfiction books on peak oil and the future of industrial society.

Close your eyes and breathe. Parashat Re'eh dreams: “There shall be no needy among you.” The Talmud (Shabbat 54b) teaches: we are responsible for wrongs in our household, our town, our nation, our world. Begin with your heart: feel compassion arising within you. Extend it to your household—family, loved ones—asking, how might I help create a home without lack? Widen to your community—neighbors, coworkers, strangers—how can I help relieve need? Broaden to the nation, holding the Torah's vision of a society without poverty. Finally, imagine the whole world, billions of lives, precious and beloved. Each circle calls for your care. Each breath strengthens your responsibility. May your compassion ripple outward, helping to bring the Torah's promise closer to reality.

Connected people are fruitful people. We're called into a life of CONNECTION! Community is where you GATHER, Commitment is when you GO, Connection is HOW you GROW What type of commitment does Jesus truly call us to as followers? Why does it sometimes feel like we are not growing, even if we say we are believers? Our connection is meant to be twofold: First and foremost to Christ, but also to other believers!

In this episode I explore how Stoic principles apply to the controversial and often emotionally charged topic of immigration. Using the Circles of Concern as a framework, I examine why Stoics must care for all members of the Cosmopolis, even when cultural differences challenge us. I also break down why preserving culture “at all costs” is un-Stoic, and how moral reasoning—not fear, nationalism, or rigid legality—should guide immigration policy and enforcement. Real-world examples, from COVID-era mask debates to refugee scenarios, help illustrate how Stoic justice differs from legal justice and why discernment is essential. Key takeaways from this episode include: Stoicism calls us to care for everyone in the Cosmopolis, even when differences exist, but requires reasoned discernment about how to act in distant circles of concern Preserving culture “at all costs” is not Stoic; the only pursuit worth that cost is perfect moral knowledge Stoic justice is based on moral reasoning and context, not on strict adherence to law or partisan ideology For an ad-free version of this podcast please visit https://stoicismpod.com/members For links to other valuable Stoic things, please visit https://links.stoicismpod.com If you'd like to provide feedback on this episode, or have question, you may do so as a member.

Community has a seat in the row; The committed have a role in the MISSION! Jesus loves the crowd, but he changes us in the community. And once you're part of the community, you're called to step into your role in the mission. What is the mission? It's always seeking after those who are lost and don't have a relationship with Jesus. Going from the community to the committed is uncomfortable, but the more we step into obedience, the more discomfort we experience…the more your life will change — for the better. And those around you! Community GATHERS, but commitment GOES!

Dr Matti Wilks is a social and developmental psychologist who is a reader in psychology at the University of Edinburgh. Her work explores people's moral motivation and actions. This includes lots of work that will be of interest to listeners, including research addressing the psychology of moral concern for animals and research addressing attitudes towards cultivated meat. In this episode, we talk about her 2025 paper ‘When development constricts our moral circle', which was co-authored with Julia Marshall, Lucius Caviola, and Karri Neldner, and published in Nature Human Behaviour. Knowing Animals is proudly sponsored by the Animal Politics book series, from Sydney University Press. And thanks to Brenda de Groot, who designed the moral circle image used as part of this episode's cover. In her answers to the regular questions, Matti mentioned The Ethics of What We Eat by Peter Singer and Jim Mason (https://archive.org/details/ethicsofwhatweea00pete), her paper on attitudes to cultivated meat (https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0171904), and the work of Steve Loughnan and Brock Bastian on the meat paradox (e.g., https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0963721414525781).

Jesus loves the crowd but he changes us in community! We are not meant for isolation, and we're not called to constant consumption. We are called to be part of the body, not just to attend church. We are called to live in community and contribute! How can we take that step from CROWD to COMMUNITY? How different would your life look if you took that step?

As always, I appreciate your feedback, questions, and reviews!” **(23:00 – 0:00)* *  PART 1 The Biblical Mandate  • Matthew 28:18-20 – Jesus commands us to make disciples of all nations.  • Key Question: Why does the church exist?  • Not just for programs, services, or buildings—It exist as the body of Jesus to Cary out his mission of reconciliation in the world, practically, for disciple-making.  • Every believer is called to participate (not just pastors). ⸻ .1 Clarify the Win for the Team Question: What does success look like for our church?  • Colossians 1:28-29 – “Present everyone mature in Christ.”  • Ephesians 4:11-13 – Equip saints until maturity and unity in faith.  • Goals:  • Define “disciple” (follower of Jesus growing in obedience, reproducing). Everyone needs to know the goal of Christ-likeness and have some idea of the path that leads there.  • Create a shared vision and language (everyone knows what the goal is). It is a team effort, we need each other and simple, clear communication is important.  • Success = transformed lives, not just attendance numbers. ⸻ .2 Give Them Tools for the Win How do we equip every believer to evangelize and disciple?  • 2 Timothy 3:16-17 – Scripture equips believers for every good work.  • Ephesians 4:12 – Leaders equip saints for ministry.  • Acts 1:8 – Empowered by the Spirit to witness.  • Goals:  • Provide simple gospel tools (testimony, “3 Circles,” Romans Road, DBS).  • Train in basic disciple habits (prayer, Bible, fellowship, serving).  • Help members discover spiritual gifts (Romans 12; 1 Corinthians 12). ⸻ .3 Radical Clarity About Mission How do we keep the vision in front of us?  • Habakkuk 2:2 – “Write the vision; make it plain.”  • John 20:21 – “As the Father has sent me, I send you.”  • Matthew 5:13-16 – Salt and light in the world.  • Goals:  • Constantly repeat the mission (sermons, meetings, ministries).  • Celebrate wins (testimonies, baptisms, gospel impact stories).  • Evaluate ministries: Does this move us toward Christ-likeness and help us make disciples? ⸻ .4 Create Systems that Self-Correct and stay on task How do we design processes that keep us on mission?  • Acts 6:1-7 – Church creates structure to meet needs and continue growth.  • 1 Corinthians 14:40 – “Do all things decently and in order.”  • Goals:  • Build reproducible models (small groups, one-on-one mentorship).  • Review regularly and adjust to stay on mission.  • Systems should serve people, not the other way around.

Ingrid Nordli, Associate Professor in Linguistics at the UiT, the Arctic University of Norway in Tromsø. Ingrid has been putting a lot of time into understanding how we develop listening skills. She talks about how young children in kindergarten can be trained to become great listeners using the listening circle. Besides dedicating time to focus on children's listening development, she teaches university students language development, and academic writing. She was on the board of the International Listening Association and continues to be an active member. In this episode, we dive deep into the often-overlooked power of listening with Ingrid, a phonetics expert from Norway. Through her experiences in education and research, Ingrid reveals how listening is a fundamental yet underappreciated aspect of communication.  Ingrid shares insights from her work with children and the importance of teaching listening skills from a young age, emphasizing that effective listening can transform interactions and relationships. Join us as we explore the nuances of listening, the impact of listening circles, and the journey of writing a book aimed at enhancing listening skills in early childhood education. On the kindergarten transformation: "When you teach the children about this listening circle procedure, they get more relaxed, more attentive to each other. They straighten their back and they feel heard, they feel seen, and get much more friendly with each other."– Ingrid Nordli SUPERPOWER Notes: 02:00 – Nuanced listening knowledge: The phonetics revelation—how studying speech transcription exposed that listening has "so little room and no room of itself" in phonetics education, despite transcription accuracy depending entirely on listening abilities 04:42 – Definition of listening process: International Listening Association's framework—"Listening is the process of receiving, constructing meaning from and responding to spoken and or nonverbal messages"—discovered through deep research after realizing listening was the "necessary glue" in kindergarten language and music projects 07:57 – Listening circles for children: Simple but powerful tool that helps kids ages 3-6 become more relaxed, attentive, and respectful—they "straighten their back and feel heard, seen, and get much more friendly with each other" because everyone gets the chance to talk and are respected while speaking 14:33 – Listening in the Kindergarten: The book written with Christian Skog—a practical and theoretical guide combining listening with typical developmental activities, featuring eight different kindergarten activities 18:58 – Engaging in children's listening development: The importance of being humble and engaging with children's listening development because "we can learn so much about our own listening"—children naturally develop language rules but don't develop conscious listening awareness without guidance 19:50 – Importance of listening skills: The fundamental gap—"we are not good listeners just because we need to be.  25:11 – Children's book on listening: Collaboration with Ebele Chukwujama in Nigeria creating books for ages 4-6 about a child learning listening through conversations with mom, plus "Listening in Circles" for ages 6-9, all translated into Yoruba, Hausa, and Igbo 27:14 – The importance of listening skills: Final thoughts on self-reflection   Key Takeaways: On children as teachers: "We can learn so much about our own listening"– Ingrid Nordli On the fundamental gap in child development: "When children are listening, but not taught how to listen, they miss out."– Ingrid Nordli On the difference between natural and conscious learning: "Children naturally develop language rules but don't develop conscious listening awareness without guidance."– Ingrid Nordli On the kindergarten transformation: "When you teach the children about this listening circle procedure, they get more relaxed, more attentive to each other. They straighten their back and they feel heard, they feel seen, and get much more friendly with each other."– Ingrid Nordli   Notes/Mentions: "Listening in the Kindergarten" by Ingrid and Christian Skog: A resource for educators focusing on listening skills. https://uit.no/ansatte/ingrid.c.nordli (Norwegian) https://en.uit.no/ansatte/person?p_document_id=153137&p_dimension_id=88155 (English) Listening in the Kindergarten (Norwegian title: Lytting i Barnehagen) - a book by Ingrid CNordli and Christian Skog A professional book written as a children's book for children between four and six, authored by Ingrid C.
