Adam Swenson writes at https://substack.com/@friendlyneighborhoodphilosopher Pat Kahnke's Substack page: https://culturefaithandpolitics.substack.com/ Pat Kahnke's books are available on Amazon: "A Christian Case Against Donald Trump" (2024): https://a.co/d/iVSTqny "MAGA Seduction: Resisting the Debasement of the Christian Conscience" (2020): https://a.co/d/1KNX3uQ In this episode of Culture, Faith, and Politics, Pat Kahnke and Adam Swenson tackle a loaded label: Trump Derangement Syndrome. Is it a legitimate critique—or a tactic to silence moral and spiritual conviction? Drawing from real-life stories—Facebook fights, global health missions, and encounters with cruelty—they explore how the Trump era is reshaping Christian identity, numbing compassion, and redefining what it means to love your neighbor. They confront the growing cultural pressure to suppress emotion, detach from injustice, and label empathy as weakness. Rooted in James 1:27, they ask: What if caring deeply is actually obedience, not derangement? With political honesty, biblical grounding, and a call to stay tender in a hardening world, this episode challenges listeners to resist authoritarian tactics and reclaim faith as a force for healing—not harm.

Today, we're wrapping up the 3-part series on Internal Family Systems (IFS). This episode is all about being what your kid needs, with lots of strategies to show up as the calm, connected parent you want to be.You'll Learn:The 4 parts of emotional literacyHow to let your child “borrow” your nervous system as they build their own emotional strength3 things all kids want to hear from their parents7 strategies for leading your child toward emotional healthNote: If you haven't listened to the first 2 episodes in this series, I recommend you go back and do that. There's a lot of background information that will help this all make a lot more sense.------------------------------------------Preventing Childhood TraumaA lot of parents come to me with the goal of not f*cking up their kids. They don't want to do something that creates trauma in their children. But when you are parenting from a place of reactivity, insecurity, stress, or overwhelm (your wounded parts), you may end up accidentally injuring parts of your kid. Trauma happens when we have a difficult experience and the emotional pain is not processed. It gets stuck inside of us. If your child's pain is not validated and seen by the grown-ups in their life, they may end up confused or thinking that something is wrong with them. They might feel worthless, unlovable, or shameful. One common example of this is bypassing emotion. It can look like rescuing, jumping quickly to logic or a solution, bribes, looking to the future. Doing this can give your kid the message that their emotion isn't okay or valid. If you're sitting there thinking, “Great, I've already done all these bad things to my kids. I've already created trauma,” take a deep breath. Your children are still children, and they're still processing their feelings. You can start now being that compassionate leader for your family. I've seen it thousands of times. Mom changes >> Kids change. They heal in real time. It's incredible and so, so beautiful. Compassionate parenting is not about making sure our kids don't ever feel badly. It's helping them learn what to do with those bad feelings when they happen (i.e. growing up to be emotionally healthy).I think of emotional health in terms of emotional literacy:I know what I'm feelingI know how to talk about my feelingsI know what to do with my feelingsI can recognize and understand how others are feeling (aka empathy)And just like literacy in reading or writing, these are skills that can be taught and must be practiced. Being What Your Kid NeedsUltimately, your kid needs you to be available to help them process their big feelings and provide a model for emotional health.Once you've begun to step into your SELF energy (like I talked about in the last episode), you start leading your life from a more grounded, calm place. You become less reactive toward your children. Here are some ways to bring that SELF-led energy to your kid. Be a witnessIt can be difficult to be around someone who is very emotional and activated. Your child's big feelings might trigger emotion in you (that's your amygdala at work). A lot of parents fall apart when their kids fall apart. And this is actually pretty terrifying for the child. When you are willing to witness your child's pain and help them process it, it can be released. Your kid needs you to be the grown-up in the room. And they need to feel safe enough to express their authentic pain, desires, and whatever...

Emotional Inertia is the tendency for moods to stay as they are,  Whether they're an iceberg or a shooting star,  Learning control can improve our skill,  So we don't go wild our lose our will.   [full text below]   Ep. 414 - Happy Emotia We begin as always  with the Happy Creed. We believe in Happy,  in Balance and Growth,  of being Mindful and Grateful, Compassionate and Understanding. Yowza Haha My Happy Friends! Emotia is a word I made by combining the words Emotion and Inertia into one, Emotion is Feelings, and Inertia is the tendency for things to stay as they are, So, like, a car may be hard to move, or hard to stop because it weighs a ton, Just like a heavy mood may be the same way because of how much we care. If you're having a meltdown and someone tells you to chill--your mood might not change, Though granted, it's not quite the same as trying to stop a speeding car, of course, Emotia is just a way of saying that moods have momentum both short- and long-range, Like, a heavy mood is harder to lighten up because it just seems to have more force. Then, once you see moods as having weight, practicing them becomes exercise, And just like you wouldn't enter an athletic competition without training first, You need to practice agility, strength and control over your emotions to maximize Your ability to be able to handle whatever life throws your way from best to worst. This is why you may find it tough to “snap out of it,” when things begin to confound, Or why it may take a minute to get “in the mood,” whatever mood that may happen to be, And this can apply to phobias as well--if you're afraid of dogs, then don't visit the pound, And if every attempt to kick a bad habit fails, it may take a gradual approach to break free. Happy Emotia is having a good handle on your moods, good craft, good skill, You don't try to rush them or run them too hot from a cold start if you can help it, You do your warm ups and cool downs so you don't pull something or make yourself ill, And you make sure you get in some good mood drills every day to stay ready and fit. And that could just involve thinking about a mood like Sadness or Hope, And then maybe moving on to Anger, Joy, Guilt and Fear,  Watch a movie, listen to a song, write out your feelings in order to cope, Learning to get comfortable with emotions prepares you for the next time they appear. Haha Yowza

Happy Loss is understanding that the things we care about are precious to us Precisely because they have a shelf life, and a temporary lifespan, People, pets, and potential don't last forever, which is why we make such a fuss, And should appreciate and connect with them now, and for as long as we can. [full text below] Ep. 413 - Happy Loss We begin as always  with the Happy Creed. We believe in Happy,  in Balance and Growth,  of being Mindful and Grateful, Compassionate and Understanding. Yowza Haha My Happy Friends! Sometimes you lose things--your keys, your socks, the remote, or maybe even your way,  And it can be quite heart-breaking because suddenly life stops making sense, Now, I'm not suggesting you should be glad to lose the things you had hoped would stay, But neither should you let it derail you or make you think it's a deliberate occurrence. I was eight before I first started to doubt that things would always work out for me, Which really hurt because when I was seven I was so sure I was the chosen one, I'd been so cute and popular that people used to fight over whose best friend I'd be, But as my cuteness faded so too did my popularity and with it all my hope, joy and fun. I turned bitter, angry and fearful, I broke things, I burned things, and I learned how to hate, I got bullied by what seemed to be everyone, some actively, some passively, But as they all contributed to my maddening isolation, I couldn't really differentiate, And so I cursed them all, some just slightly, others quite massively. Why had I lost everything? I howled. Just when things had been going so well, too? If I hadn't been so popular to begin with, then the fall wouldn't have been quite so tragic, But I became a widespread subject of scorn and ridicule and there was nothing I could do Except vow revenge on all those who I blamed for taking away my good luck and magic. But when things end, finding perspective may be the only thing to save you from despair, I had to tell myself that at least I wasn't dead or imprisoned, I was merely mistreated, The world had abandoned me and so I turned my back on it--which is only fair,  And I started rebuilding my life in spite of my losses--for I'm not one to be defeated. It got worse before it got better, but the time I took learning about myself was time well spent, Often we go through life not really testing or pushing ourselves and I was basically asleep, It took losing my illusions to make me realize that I should never be idle or overly content, Because time is too valuable to waste being lazy or shallow, and never digging too deep. Part of being human is dealing with loss, it's just how it sometimes goes, Relationships end, loved ones pass away, good fortune turns bad, and dreams disappear, But to go insane, to cut yourself off from living, or to stop caring is not what I'd propose,  For it's the very fact that things only last for a limited time that makes them feel so dear. Happy Loss is understanding that the things we care about are precious to us Precisely because they have a shelf life, and a temporary lifespan, People, pets, and potential don't last forever, which is why we make such a fuss, And should appreciate and connect with them now, and for as long as we can. Haha Yowza

The dialogue emphasizes authenticity, trust, and self-awareness as critical components of effective leadership, highlighting how vulnerability and generosity can foster deeper connections and inspire change. Takeaways The essence of a company is its corporate soul. Business ethics were once seen as an oxymoron. The importance of ethics in business has evolved over time.

The digital fingerprint tool enhances leadership development. Compassionate capitalism focuses on thriving rather than just profit. Connection is fundamental to understanding business ethics. The leader's ego can impact the soul of the business. Business and relationships develop the muscle of service. Leaders should focus on the prosperity of others. Service is inherent to our existence; we choose who to serve. Profits are a measure of how well we provide valuable service. The connection between body and soul is vital for leaders.

Trust is built through humility, vulnerability, and generosity. Self-awareness is crucial for understanding how we impact others. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this message from the Summer Psalms series, Pastor Jeff explores Psalm 103 and the deep, unwavering compassion of God. Through a gripping personal story of a highway accident and the mixed responses of bystanders, we're reminded that human compassion can be unpredictable—but God's compassion never fails. Pastor Jeff unpacks three powerful truths from the psalm: God's tender mercy renews us, His faithful love secures our future, and His sovereign kindness inspires praise. Drawing from David's words, listeners are called to remember God's past faithfulness, respond with wholehearted praise, and personally embrace the grace that transforms hearts and secures eternity. This message is both a challenge and a comfort for anyone seeking hope, renewal, and a deeper relationship with the God whose love never lets go.

There's so much judgment swirling around weight loss medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide. I hear it all the time — “Why don't they just eat better?” “Why not exercise more?” But here's the truth: most people who turn to these medications have already tried — many, many times — and felt like failures when nothing worked. These medications aren't shortcuts. They're tools — science-backed, life-saving tools — for people who are struggling with obesity, a condition that carries serious health risks. If we had a safe and effective way to treat any other chronic disease, wouldn't we use it without shame? The key is using them wisely — as part of a comprehensive, medically supervised program that focuses on real, sustainable health changes. That's exactly what we do at Complete Midlife Wellness Center through our Holistic Medical Weight Optimization Program. So let's stop judging others for choosing a path that works for them. Let's offer support, compassion, and a little more understanding. Drop your thoughts below — and if you're curious about how our 12-week program works, all the details are right here: https://completemidlifewellnesscenter.com/holistic-medical-weight-optimization-program/ Go You!

Happy Self-Confidence is about accepting yourself as you are, About owning the moment, and trusting that you can succeed, Even if that moment is you apologizing, you do it like a star, You don't second-guess or shy away, you just confidently proceed. [full text below] Ep. 412 - Happy Self-Confidence We begin as always  with the Happy Creed. We believe in Happy,  in Balance and Growth,  of being Mindful and Grateful, Compassionate and Understanding. Yowza Haha My Happy Friends! Happy Self-Confidence is about accepting yourself as you are, About owning the moment, and trusting that you can succeed, Even if that moment is you apologizing, you do it like a star, You don't second-guess or shy away, you just confidently proceed. You face the music, take responsibility, and do what needs to be done, You don't wish for a different past, you just work towards a better day, You don't cower, complain, act cocky or deflect blame onto anyone, You just try to improve yourself to be a little bit better in every way. A tall order, to be sure, but I've seen people who simply refuse to even try, They prefer to deny reality, to avoid growth, to have a temper tantrum, to hide, Wishing things were different while doing the same things and wondering why-- Why they doubt themselves and have no trust or individual faith deep inside. The first step is getting to know your limits, learning what frightens you, Maybe being wrong makes you so mad that it keeps you from striving, Which means those are the things you have to practice and work through, If you ever hope to go from struggling and hating to learning and thriving. Haha  Yowza

One useful way to settle into a practice is to use the breath to attune or "resonate" compassionately with whatever is present in the body/mind/heart.

This message is about allowing the Lord to soften your heart.

Ajahn Dhammasiha responds to a question about Euthansia.He explains that the Buddha never encouraged or condoned the killing of other human beings at all, never mind the supposed motive or justification. The first precept to abstain from intentionally killing of living beings is unambiguous - it has no 'exceptions' under any circumstance. Any killing of human beings is very serious karma. However, if we participate in, or encourage, the killing ("euthanasia") of our mother or father (which can easily occur in the context of "euthanasia"), we're getting involved in what the Buddha declared as one of the five worst forms of evil karma possible (5 Anantarika Kamma - see e.g. Anguttara Nikāya Fives No 129). It's not compassionate at all to kill. Compassionate is to look after dying people, to provide them with excellent palliative care and really good pain management. Compassionate is to spiritually console dying persons, to prepare them for the transition to the next life, and to encourage them to let go of all attachments. If we normalize killing of human beings ("euthanasia"), those suffering from a chronic and expensive-to-treat disease will feel pressure to have themselves killed ("euthanized") to reduce expenses and burden of looking after them. As physicians are the ones doing the killing ("euthanasia"), the ethic foundation of the whole medical profession is undermined. A doctor should first of all do no harm. We must be able to fully trust our physicians and nurses that they are committed to preserving our lives, to cure us from disease and to wish us to live. How can we trust the medical profession if they are now the ones who are also killing us? Ajahn points out that a completely materialistic philosphy underlies modern Westen medical science. They simply don't know about consciousness/mind, they only know and describe course material phenomena. They believe that after death there's simply nothing. Of course, in reality there NOT nothing after death, but what we call mind or consciousness survives death and continues on to a new life. Consequently, killing any being does not 'free them from suffering', it only means that we can not see their suffering anymore. Only an Arahant attaining Nibbāna is truly free from suffering. ⁠Website⁠⁠Our Spotify Playlists⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dhammagiri Youtube Channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pics⁠⁠⁠⁠#euthanasia #nonviolence #compassion #precepts #ethics #nonharming

If you know the old saying about Luck being Opportunity meeting Preparation,  And then go looking for opportunities first, you may be focusing on the wrong side,  For it's the preparation that reveals the opportunities, and causes their activation Of all the luck you couldn't see before because you hadn't yet hit your stride.   [full text below]   Ep. 411 - Happy Preparation We begin as always  with the Happy Creed. We believe in Happy,  in Balance and Growth,  of being Mindful and Grateful, Compassionate and Understanding. Yowza Haha My Happy Friends! If you know the old saying about Luck being Opportunity meeting Preparation,  And then go looking for opportunities first, you may be focusing on the wrong side,  For it's the preparation that reveals the opportunities, and causes their activation Of all the luck you couldn't see before because you hadn't yet hit your stride. One thing you can do to prepare is build your emotional intelligence--your mood intellect, Like, when things get stressful--How do you react? Do you rage, cry, and complain? Or are you able to take a breath, stay calm, reevaluate, and then redirect Your efforts and intentions, so you can find a way through instead of focusing on the pain. I get frustrated. I get mad. I sometimes want to slap a fool for being so unkind,  but that just adds more Meanness to the world, and I prefer to keep things Nice-- I acknowledge it to myself, and then dismiss it from my mind, --Resist worrying about anything not worth the mental sacrifice. And if you find it hard to tap into your inner feelings, then look at it another way-- Don't think of it as being weird or soft, but instead as a way to build your agility. If you can keep your emotions from scaring or controlling you, then you won't fall prey, And will, instead, be able to regulate your own moods with artful ability. When you get upset at someone and they don't take it seriously--doesn't that make you mad? You wonder why you can't affect their mood, and that they must be very tranquil and wise,  To be self-regulated like that, deciding when they want to be mad, sad or even glad, --The more familiar you are with your own moods, the easier it is to spot their compelling lies. They tell you that the madder you get, the more triumphant the release of righteous indignation,  The sadder you get, the deeper the connection you'll have with yourself and humanity, The gladder you get, the more power you can tap into for higher levels of operation, But sometimes you just feel bothered, down, or manic trying to maintain your sanity. If you keep letting the world determine your extremes, then you might not return,  That's why you need to practice control of your emotions for every situation, Opportunities for Balance and Growth will reveal themselves as you learn, Boosting confidence, and that all begins with Happy Preparation. Haha  Yowza

Danica Shoan Ankele, Osho - ZMM - 7/6/25 - The teachings of dependent origination tell us that all that arises does so with all of reality: "because of this, that, and because of that, this." In studying what we call “the self,” Shoan Osho reminds us that we are not a fixed, unchanging element among all the other aspects of life. Rather, we are the manifestation of causes and conditions, interdependent with all of reality, full of innate wisdom and compassion. This is the benefit of our practice; it is our true interdependence.
