S3 E3 Confronting the Climate Emergency with Dr. Peter CarterzNov 24, 2025Welcome to the Peaceful Political Revolution in America podcast.Dean of Law at UC Berkeley, Erwin Chemerinsky, Sanford Levinson, George Van Cleve, and many others have been calling for constitutional reform for a long time. They say we will not solve the Climate Emergency until we change our now-outdated and dangerous Constitution. Climate scientists, more than most political scientists, understand our climate is in serious trouble, and governments are failing to address the gathering threat of global warming. Johan Rockstrom, Michael Mann, David Suzuki, James Henson, and Paul Beckwith foresee a pretty grim future for humanity. The chronology of climate-related unnatural disasters is rapidly escalating. Unprecedented Crime, by Dr. Peter Carter and Elizabeth Woodworth, is a rich, legally grounded indictment of our government's failure to act. Peter is concerned, and like many, getting more concerned every day. I want to understand his frustration over the failure of government to respond to this unprecedented crime, and to discuss his thoughts on game changers for survival. Confronting the Climate Emergency with Dr. Peter Carter takes listeners deep into the link between ecological collapse and political malfeasance. From David Suzuki's call for a climate revolution, to COP 30 in Brazil, from Bill Gates' inequality blind spot to the visionaries behind the Venus Project, this episode asks the hardest question of all: Can we confront the climate emergency before it is too late? Dr. Carter and I explore the crime scene, the power of citizen action, the technologies shaping our future, and constitutional reform in this episode of the Peaceful Political Revolution in America podcast. Because democracy, like all living things, must evolve—or perish.
Guilt, shame, and fear around academic writing show up far more often than we admit. And for many academics, those emotions become so intertwined with our identity that even seeing the phrase "making time to write" can trigger a full-body "Nope!" I was reminded of this last week during the National Women's Studies Association conference in Puerto Rico. The conference was beautifully integrated with local scholars, activists, and artists, creating a powerful space for community and reflection. What surprised me most, though, was the range of reactions people had when they walked by our booth and saw my book. Some people laughed; some avoided eye contact and literally walked (or ran!) away; others said, "You're making me feel so bad." That emotional recoil is exactly why today's episode exists. This week, I'm diving deep into what guilt, shame, and overwhelm around writing really reveal—not about you as an individual, but about the sociocultural and institutional contexts you're working within. If you've internalized the idea that your inconsistent writing practice is a personal flaw, this discussion will help you understand why that narrative is wrong, and how to reclaim the sense of agency you absolutely do have. If you've ever thought, "I should be writing," and immediately felt terrible, this one's for you. Tune in, and let's talk about what's really holding back your academic writing and how to move through it. For full show notes visit scholarsvoice.org/podcast.

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Bob of Speakers' Corner, one of Britain's most recognisable street preachers and Christian debaters, for a provocative conversation about faith, free speech, and the future of Britain's identity.Bob recounts how a Muslim once tried to convert him to Islam, an encounter that instead led him to Christianity and set him on a mission to defend the faith at London's Hyde Park, one of the last true bastions of free speech in the UK. He discusses the rise of Islamist intimidation at Speakers' Corner, from stabbings and arson attacks to police indifference and media silence, and why he believes Britain is now a post-free speech country.We explore Bob's vision of a Christian nation, his critique of liberal secularism, and his warning against both Islamism and ethno-nationalism, which he sees as twin dangers to the soul of Britain. He argues that only a return to Judeo-Christian values, the foundation of British law and morality, can rescue the country from cultural decay.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see the extended and ad free interview click here: https://open.substack.com/pub/winstonmarshall/p/confronting-islam-and-reviving-britains?r=18lfab&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:31 Bob of Speakers' Corner03:39 What is Speakers' Corner06:23 Challenges and Motives at Speakers' Corner 13:21 Bob's Conversion and Evangelism18:10 Christian Nationalism and Free Speech25:07 The Role of Christianity in Politics36:18 The Patriot Movement and Christianity50:38 The Importance of Judeo-Christian Tradition52:54 Final Thoughts Hosted on Acast.

The newest episode of Everyday Injustice features three powerful voices from Represent Justice's ambassador program, each sharing deeply personal experiences with trauma, incarceration and healing. Emmanuel Noble Williams, John Medina Jr., and Angelique Todd describe how childhood violence, systemic neglect and survival-driven choices pushed them into the legal system—but also how storytelling and filmmaking have become pathways toward accountability, dignity and repair. Their conversation makes one thing clear: before the system labeled them “offenders,” they were children trying to survive experiences no one helped them process. Each ambassador discusses how trauma shaped their worldview long before a courtroom or prison cell entered the picture. Noble recalls witnessing a murder before age eleven and learning early that speaking to police could mean violence or death. That fear—and lack of emotional support—became a “mask” he wore into adulthood. John describes years of instability and coping through substances, and how the birth of his son forced him to confront the disconnect between wanting to protect life while participating in harm. Angelique explains how abuse, over-policing and mislabeling of Black girls funneled her toward criminalization, and how no one ever stopped to ask the simplest question: What happened to you? Despite their different stories, the message from all three is unified: the system did not rehabilitate them—community, healing and lived experience did. They argue that prisons prioritize control over treatment, punishment over safety, and compliance over growth. Their films and advocacy challenge institutions to recognize that accountability is not the same as suffering, and that most people behind bars were victims long before they were accused of harm. “Hurt people hurt people,” Noble says, emphasizing that until trauma is addressed, cycles of violence and incarceration will continue to repeat. Yet the tone of the conversation is not despair, but transformation. Represent Justice gave each ambassador a platform to reclaim narrative and power—something they say the system tried to strip away. Today, they mentor youth, teach restorative justice and help others break cycles they once lived inside. Their stories challenge the public to rethink assumptions about crime, punishment and who deserves redemption. And in their work, they make the case that change begins not with more prisons—but with listening, acknowledging harm and recognizing shared humanity.

Frank reminds us that God calls His people to love without discrimination and to honor the poor who are rich in faith. He encourages us to offer the same mercy God has shown us. The message ends with a heartfelt call to repentance, forgiveness, and setting healthy boundaries while still choosing mercy.The Gathering Church is located in Midland, Texas.You can watch our live worship experience online at mygathering.liveVisit our website at https://www.mygathering.churchConnect with us on Social Mediahttps://facebook.com/mgatheringhttps://Instagram.com/mygatheringhttps://Twitter.com/mygatheringGOD | COMMUNITY | PURPOSE
Episode #1064 In this powerful and deeply honest revisit, the men open up about a topic that often goes unspoken—suicide. This isn't theory. It's personal. They've been there. Some have stood on the edge. Some have lost people they love. And they're here to talk about what really goes on in those dark moments most men never share out loud. They break down the real weight of shame, isolation, and the pressure to keep it all together. They share what helped them turn things around and why most guys don't reach out until it's almost too late. If you've ever felt like you're supposed to be the strong one, but deep down you're struggling, this episode is for you. It's not polished. It's not perfect. But it's real.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Juli Slattery, who has spent 15 years helping Christians navigate the complex terrain of sexuality in light of faith. We explore why so many struggle to surrender their sexuality to God and why the traditional church approach often falls short in addressing the real-life challenges people face today. Juli dives into how unresolved sexual issues can create barriers in our relationship with God and explains why identity—rather than behavior—is the key starting point for true transformation. She uncovers four common identity traps—self-discovery, shame, performance, and relationship—that can derail spiritual and sexual growth. Juli also challenges us to rethink the purpose of sexuality, offering practical insight on why simply stopping sexual sin is not enough and how surrendering sexual brokenness leads to lasting freedom.

Confronting the paralyzing question that plagues every leader, parent, and dreamer -"How do you know if you are on the right path?" - McKay challenges the common misconception that clarity must precede action. He argues that confidence is not a prerequisite for starting, but a result of "walking the path" and leaning on proven principles rather than fleeting fads.McKay opens with Kiva co-founder Jessica Jackley, who discovered her purpose through a single connection in Uganda rather than overwhelming data. He then spotlights Bill Courtney, a coach who rebuilt a team by valuing character over the scoreboard. The episode weaves in lessons from NFL legend Jerry Rice and McKay's own career pivot to Idaho to illustrate the power of proven principles. It concludes with his daughter's story, illustrating that clarity often arrives only after we commit to the journey.Main Themes:Clarity is found by walking the path, not by waiting for certainty.When the destination is unclear, rely on "proven principles" like character and discipline.True happiness comes from "self-concordance" - aligning goals with internal values, not external pressures.The sign of the right path is peace, not comfort; comfort is ease, but peace is alignment.Direction often comes through "small miracles" and quiet confirmations rather than dramatic signs.Failure isn't a stop sign; it's "fertilizer" for your growth and potential.Top 10 Quotes:"Rarely do we know with absolute certainty that we're on the right path. We start something new without certainty, hoping that it's right, but often unsure.""Character is what you do when no one is watching.""Stick with the critical activities. The self-assurance you get from doing so will carry you through the less-than-clear times.""Comfort means ease. Peace means alignment.""Peace says, ‘I might be struggling, I might be working hard, but I know I'm in the right struggle.'""God will give you some signs. And those signs come in the form of people, encouragement, moments of clarity, or a feeling of certainty.""You have to walk down the path of uncertainty a bit... you have to try the thing on and start as if you're going to do it, and then you find the answer.""Start walking, give it your all, and soon you will know.""Failure can be good. It's fertilizer.""The difficult road you are on is a purposeful road to help you rise to become more like your Maker."Show Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen

While Democrats recently scored some much-needed electoral wins, the party remains in crisis. Recent reports like Welcome PAC's “Deciding to Win” argue that the Democrats must drop unpopular cultural positions and recenter economic demands. Can a populist economic agenda shorn of unpopular identity politics get the party back on track? On this episode of Confronting Capitlism, Vivek Chibber evaluates these reports and examines the pros and cons of this approach. Based on recent polling data, working class voters have rejected elitist cultural demands but support social-democratic economic solutions.

In this conversation, Dr. Lacy discusses the challenges of imposter syndrome faced by academic writers, particularly those working on dissertations. She emphasizes the importance of recognizing one's own knowledge and capabilities, and how fear can hinder progress. Lacy advocates for making a firm decision to produce work as a way to combat these fears and encourages writers to develop effective strategies for their writing process. Takeaways You know more than enough to write a full draft. Imposter syndrome is rooted in fear and self-doubt. Reading and taking notes won't eliminate imposter syndrome. Making a decision to produce work is crucial. Confronting fears is necessary for progress. Imposter syndrome is a narrative we create for ourselves. Writing is a skill that can be honed over time. Focus on making progress rather than achieving perfection. Setting realistic goals can enhance writing productivity. Consistency in writing leads to successful dissertation completion.

This is a rich and highly engaging monologue! Here are some great options for the title, summary, and description, focusing on the core themes of self-mastery, environment, and energetic boundaries.Dissonance vs. Resonance: Tuning Your Environment and Stepping Up Your IdentityIn this tactical episode of Resonance, host Michael Trainer tackles the concept of Dissonance—the frustrating static and out-of-tune feeling that emerges when your core values and integrity aren't met by your environment or relationships.Drawing on his challenging experience while recording in Ubud, Bali, Michael unpacks how the gap between his grounded, pragmatic approach and the "maybe I'll show up, maybe I won't" culture became a powerful call to action.You will learn:The Power of Environment: Why physically changing your location (or "garden") is often the most direct and pragmatic way to reset your inner tune, especially when entering a new professional or personal phase.The Radical Reckoning: How to use tools like journaling, trusted friends, or even AI to uncover the blind spots and patterns that lead you to attract and tolerate dissonance.The Identity Manifesto: Michael shares his process for defining a new self-identity, including a declaration to stop "energizing" people and behaviors that don't share your high standards for integrity and follow-through.Confronting the Warrior's Task: How to turn dissonance into resonance by deliberately taking on the uncomfortable tasks, hard conversations, and long-avoided items that are draining your life force.Childhood Wounding as Signal: Recognizing that patterns of frustration (like constantly being flaked on) often connect back to unresolved childhood experiences, and how to use this awareness to heal and show up differently.This episode is a powerful message about holding yourself and your relationships to a higher standard, recognizing static, and intentionally cultivating the energy where your most beautiful music can play. Michael Trainer has spent 30 years learning from Nobel laureates, neuroscientists, and wisdom keepers worldwide. He's the author of RESONANCE: The Art and Science of Human Connection (March 31, 2026), co-creator of Global Citizen and the Global Citizen Festival, and host of the RESONANCE podcast.Featured in Forbes, Inc, Good Morning America.

What if the only thing standing between you and building what you actually want is a limited worldview of what's possible?In this third episode of the Building From Your Design series, I'm walking you through the uncomfortable work of confronting why you think what you want isn't possible. I share the story of a client with a Virgo stellium who was being pulled to make her burnout work more playful and creative (even though that felt impossible), why spiritual bypassing around financial security will keep you perpetually sacrificing alignment, and the critical step most people skip that keeps them repeating the same patterns over and over.BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL DISCOVER:Why rushing through this process reveals the exact conditioning you need to unpack, our hyper speed-obsessed culture that wants shortcuts and bypasses the emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual experience you're actually here to have as a human and why I'm speaking from lived experience of creating success on misaligned foundations that wrecked havoc in my life.The critical distinction between doing this foundational work from a grounded place versus trying to do it while in financial stress or survival mode, where desperation causes you to sacrifice alignment for security and perpetuate the exact cycle you're trying to break, and why getting a job you don't want might actually be the aligned move that allows you to build properly.How to take your list of why your past success isn't transferable and your vision of expression, time, and money from the previous episodes, and confront the limiting beliefs blocking you like thinking you can't merge being scientific and spiritual, or that people won't get it if you integrate astrology with marketing, or that you have to sacrifice time to make money because that's what society has conditioned into you.The essential step most people skip…expanding your worldview by finding people who prove your limiting beliefs wrong, consuming their work without comparison or emulation, and then having the courage to reach out to 2-3 of them to start conversations.And while you're here, follow us on Instagram @creativelyowned for more daily inspiration on effortlessly attracting the most aligned clients without spending hours marketing your business or chasing clients.

At a time when college students and their parents often question the "return on investment" from humanities courses, accomplished feature writer and English professor Carlo Rotella invites us into the minds of a group of skeptical first-year students who are ultimately transformed by a required literature class. In What Can I Get Out of This?: Teaching and Learning in a Classroom Full of Skeptics (University of California Press, 2025) he follows thirty-three students through his class to provide an intimate look at teaching and learning from their perspectives as well as his own. The students' reluctance--"How does this get me a job?"--transforms into insight as they wrestle with challenging books, share ideas, discover how to think critically, and form a community. In all these ways, they learn how to extract meaning from the world around them, an essential life skill. Confronting skeptics of higher education, this compassionate and inspiring book reveals the truth of what students actually experience in college.

In this episode, I sit down with Zahava Feldstein, creator of Rabbi's Daughter Rebellion, who describes herself as a “reformed anti-Zionist Jew.” We trace her journey from growing up as a rabbi's kid in the American South and thriving in feminist Jewish day school, to becoming a staunch anti-Zionist at Scripps College through SJP/JVP organizing, critical race theory and ethnic studies — and then the moment it all began to crack when she sat down with her dad and the Encyclopedia Judaica and re-encountered Jewish history on its own terms.Along the way, we dig into why so many Jewish students are pulled into anti-Zionist spaces, why Hillel and Chabad feel so different on campus, how critical race theory gets mis-applied to Jews and Israel, and what it might look like to create psychologically safe spaces for Jewish students who are questioning Zionism without losing their Judaism.In this conversation, we discuss:Zahava's story: rabbi's daughter, feminist day school kid, then SJP/JVP organizerHow Palestinian ethnography, ethnic studies, and critical race theory shaped her anti-ZionismThe moment she realized her professors' frameworks didn't know or care about JewsWhy she now calls herself a “reformed anti-Zionist” rather than a simple Zionist or anti-ZionistThe California ethnic studies mandate, CRT, and where Jews fit (or don't)How anti-Zionist spaces use “anti-normalization” to shun Hillel and campus rabbisWhy Chabad often feels “apolitical” and safe for radical left anti-Zionist JewsThe difference between criticizing Israel and erasing Jewish history and peoplehood“Right to exist” vs “need to exist” — reframing the core question about IsraelHow Jewish education often fails students on Israel, power, race, and empireWhy so many Jewish studies departments are unequipped to answer ethnic-studies-style attacks on JewsAdvice for rabbis, parents, and educators trying to support Jewish students on campus todayIf you're a Jewish high school or college student, a parent, rabbi, educator, Hillel/Chabad professional, or just someone trying to understand anti-Zionism, Zionism, and critical race theory in the post–October 7 campus world, this episode is for you.➡️ See More From Zahava FeldsteinIf you want to dive deeper into Zahava's work, writing, and research, check out the links below:

Confronting the universal internal battle against "resistance" - the invisible force of procrastination, fear, and self-doubt that stops us from doing our most important work - McKay draws upon the powerful distinction between an "amateur" and a "pro” to argue that we can consciously decide to adopt a professional mindset in any area of our lives. This decision, he notes, is not about a title or a paycheck; it's an act of will that transforms our approach to challenges, failures, and our ultimate potential.Opening the episode with the core lesson from Steven Pressfield's book The War of Art - the hardest part of any task is simply starting - McKay then illustrates the professional mindset through a series of compelling stories. Listeners hear about Kobe Bryant's legendary work ethic that reset the culture of the 2012 US Olympic basketball team; Captain Tammie Jo Shults' incredible composure while landing a crippled Southwest jet; and astrophysicist Jocelyn Bell Burnell's steadfast focus on her work, even after being overlooked for a Nobel Prize. The episode culminates with the idea that, like the Apostle Peter, even when we fail, we can "decide again" to be a pro, recommitting to our purpose with even greater strength.Main Themes:The greatest obstacle to achieving our goals is an internal force called "resistance," which manifests as procrastination and fear.An amateur works when they feel inspired, but a professional does the work regardless of their mood, the circumstances, or their fear."Turning pro" is a conscious decision - an act of will to show up and do the work, especially when it's hard.True professionals don't dwell on mistakes; they learn from them and immediately focus on the "next play."A pro is defined by their commitment to their purpose, not by external validation, credit, or praise.Even after a setback, you can always choose to recommit and be "twice born" into your professional mindset, emerging stronger than before.Top 10 Quotes:“It's not the writing part that's hard. What's hard is the sitting down to write. What keeps us from sitting down is resistance.”“That's the price for being in the arena and not on the sidelines. Stop complaining and be grateful.”“Pros do the work regardless of how they feel.”“You can't win the next play by thinking about the last one.”“We make up our minds to view ourselves as pros and we do it. Simple as that.”“Pros don't get overly excited, emotional, or moved off their professional approach.”“Every day that you sit around trying to figure out what to do, someone else is already doing it.”“This time, having decided twice, he is stronger than ever.”“You can choose to be a pro again.”Show Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen
Week 7 of the This is Jesus Series Speaker: Scott Hickox Scripture: John 8:1-11
In this conversation, Heather talks about how a rib injury became an entry point into real emotional healing. The pain forced her to slow down and pay attention. She began breathing into the discomfort, turning inward and asking simple questions about what her body needed. As she stayed with the sensations, old memories and emotions surfaced. Each one asked to be seen and released. Heather walks you through how this unfolded and how you can use the same approach in your own life. You hear what she asked, what came up and how her body guided her step by step.
Join Pastor Lucas Miles as he delivers a timely message addressing the growing cultural shift toward pagan and post-Christian worldviews. In this sermon, Pastor Lucas emphasizes that the challenge facing the church is not individual people, but the larger attempt to replace the Christian worldview with spiritual substitutes that promise meaning yet lead people away from the truth of the Gospel. He explains why the church must understand both the moment we're living in and the direction society is moving—preparing to become the “Church of Tomorrow” by standing firm with clarity, conviction, and grace.Throughout the message, Pastor Lucas highlights the importance of open dialogue within the church, pointing to our upcoming “Ask Me Anything” Sunday as an opportunity for honest questions and deeper discipleship. He also unpacks the significance of communion as a reminder of Christ's victory and the transformation available to every believer. Drawing from early church history, he shows how Christians in ancient Rome defended their faith against false accusations and makes clear the parallels to modern criticisms of Christianity today—accusations of bigotry, judgmentalism, and irrelevance.Pastor Lucas then explores humanity's built-in awareness of God and explains how suppressing that truth leads to spiritual confusion and the rise of alternative belief systems. He addresses the increasing popularity of modern spiritual trends—earth worship, reincarnation, astrology, manifestation, chakras, and globalism—revealing how the desires behind these beliefs ultimately point back to what only Christ can fulfill. The message concludes with a call to reestablish the goodness of God in people's hearts, demolish arguments that set themselves against the knowledge of God, and invite those seeking spiritual truth to find their answers in Jesus.Key Themes: • The rise of pagan and post-Christian worldviews • Preparing to be the “Church of Tomorrow” • The importance of open dialogue (“Ask Me Anything” Sunday) • Communion and the victory of Christ • Early Christian apologetics and modern accusations • Humanity's innate awareness of God • The pursuit of spirituality in all the wrong places • Reestablishing God's goodness in a confused culture • Calling seekers to truth found only in JesusTimestamps:3:21 — The Church of Tomorrow & Facing Cultural Threats 3:40 — The Rise of Post-Christian & Pagan Worldviews 3:59 — Paganism, Marxism & Competing Ideologies 4:17 — Understanding Today to Prepare for Tomorrow 4:54 — A New “Apology”: Defending the Christian Faith 5:59 — Early Church Apologetics: Justin Martyr & Rome 7:27 — Accusations Faced by Early Christians 12:21 — Modern Accusations Against the Church 13:46 — Romans 1: Awareness & Suppression of God 17:03 — The Search for Meaning & Spiritual Confusion 21:44 — Pagan Pursuits vs. Fulfillment in Christ 26:14 — Globalism & the Kingdom of God

Returning guest, AM Davies of YAS Work and I chat about the implications within the sex work community. We explore the hierarchy that exists among different types of sex workers, the impact of coded language used by society and policymakers, and the challenges faced in securing funding for sex work advocacy.

They also touch on the need for professionalism in sex work, the importance of consultation and collaboration, and the relationship between pole dancing and whorephobia. The conversation emphasizes the need for recognition of the origins of dance and the importance of supporting sex workers.

Mary Anastasia O'grady reports on the assassination of Mayor Carlos Monzo in Michoacán, killed after leaving President Sheinbaum's Morena party and aggressively confronting cartels and their agricultural extortion. Sheinbaum has cooperated smartly with the US, allowing surveillance flights, and hired credible security chief García Haruch. The main challenge is whether Sheinbaum has the political will to confront the cartels, especially given the widespread belief in Morena's complicity. Guest: Mary Anastasia O'Grady.

Tucker Carlson's interview with controversial right-wing podcaster Nick Fuentes has snowballed into a bigger conversation that has everyone asking: Does the Right have a serious issue with antisemitism? Victor Davis Hanson explains how conservative icons like William F. Buckley once handled extremists, contrasts that with today's platforms, and explores why some on the right are now flirting with the same rhetoric on Israel that echoes left-wing sentiments. How should the conservative movement handle this divide? Hanson breaks it down on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” “I think the reason for the rise of antisemitism is an element, the isolationist base of the MAGA movement, felt that it was the driving force and that it was going to be isolationist and we were not going to get involved in the Middle East. And they were very suspicious of so-called, what they call neocons and what they call Christian Zionists. As Tucker said, he hates Christian Zionists over any other people. Even bin Laden? Al-Qaeda? ISIS? I don't know. But they were losing influence. Donald Trump proved that he is not a neoisolation. He's a Jacksonian. Targeted strikes to preserve and enhance U.S. deterrents.” (0:00) Introduction (0:59) The Tucker Carlson-Nick Fuentes Interview (1:32) The Rise of Right-Wing Antisemitism (7:44) Left-Wing vs. Right-Wing Antisemitism (9:17) The MAGA Movement and Isolationism (11:09) The Importance of the U.S.-Israel Alliance (14:14) Conclusion
