Not a Bad Marriage, But the Future Looked Disconnected: David's Transformation Journey One of the biggest lies couples believe is this: "This is just what marriage becomes." The excitement fades. The connection weakens. The emotional intimacy disappears. And we convince ourselves that's normal. This is where David found himself. His marriage wasn't falling apart, but it wasn't thriving either. He was starting to see small cracks ("micro-fissures" as he called them) in the foundation. As a couple, they were functioning fine–paying bills, raising kids, managing life– but somewhere along the way, they had stopped truly connecting. When looking for advice, he would hear things like: "That's marriage." "That's life." "Honeymoon's over." But God offers something different. Marriage was never designed to be two people surviving under the same roof; it was designed to reflect Christ's love. To be life-giving. Refreshing. Connected. When David stopped focusing on what was missing and started focusing on becoming the husband God was calling him to be, everything began to shift. His wife became more vulnerable. Their conversations deepened. Their friendship grew. Hope returned. And perhaps the best part of the story is this: his children started noticing. They watched their dad plan surprises for their mom. They helped him prepare dates! They saw affection, intentionality, and joy. That's generational impact. You are not meant to settle for a marriage that merely functions. God has something better than survival. And the beautiful part? The journey starts with just one willing heart.

Most women don't find gut health because they think there is a gut issue. They find it because they're trying to understand the symptom right in front of them.In this episode, Juniper shares the deeply personal story of trying to understand her son's eczema, reflux, colic, food allergies, mucus-filled stools, behavioral challenges, and speech delays and how she eventually realized these symptoms were not separate problems, but communication connected to the gut.This episode is for the woman or mother who has been chasing symptoms one by one and wondering why nothing has fully made sense yet.You'll learn why the symptom is the doorway, not the whole story, and how gut health is connected to digestion, nutrient absorption, immune function, inflammation, skin, mood, cravings, energy, the nervous system, hormones, and how reactive or resilient the body feels.If you've been trying to understand your symptoms, or your child's symptoms, through disconnected answers, this episode will help you begin seeing the pattern underneath it all.

Episode Title: Connected by Hope: How Sister Keli and Stephanie Bates Found Friendship Through Transplant Episode Description: What happens when two people who have walked through illness, uncertainty, and waiting find each other on the other side of survival? In this heartfelt episode of This Thing Called Life, host Andi Johnson welcomes Sister Keli and Stephanie Bates, whose connection began through transplant but became something much deeper—a sisterhood built on understanding, resilience, and hope. Together, they share their individual journeys through kidney disease, dialysis, setbacks, and ultimately transplantation. Through moments of heartbreak, perseverance, and unexpected friendship, Stephanie and Sister Keli reflect on what it means to keep showing up, trust the process, and find purpose in giving back. Their stories are a powerful reminder that healing doesn't happen alone—and sometimes the people who understand us best are the ones who have walked a similar road. Episode Highlights Host Andi Johnson welcomes Stephanie Bates and Sister Keli, two women whose lives became connected through their shared transplant journeys and commitment to supporting others. Stephanie reflects on how her health journey began after a traumatic cesarean delivery in 1999 that caused damage to her kidney. Years later, after noticing swelling in her leg, Stephanie sought medical care and was diagnosed with stage three kidney disease, beginning a long season of monitoring and treatment. From 2003 to 2013, she managed her condition through regular nephrology care before eventually beginning dialysis as her disease progressed. Stephanie shares the difficult but determined process of becoming transplant eligible, including being encouraged to lose weight in order to qualify. Through dedication and support, she achieved her health goals and was officially added to the transplant list in 2018. In 2019, Stephanie received her first kidney transplant, but unexpected complications during the COVID era eventually led her to undergo a second transplant in 2024. Sister Keli shares her own experience of learning her kidneys had progressed into end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and initially struggling to fully accept the seriousness of the diagnosis. She reflects on a turning point when conversations and encouragement from people around her helped her recognize the urgency of beginning treatment. Sister Keli started with peritoneal dialysis, later transitioning to hemodialysis after complications and challenges with treatment. Her journey included major life changes—including divorce and the eventual loss of a limb due to complications connected to inadequate dialysis treatment. Despite those setbacks, she remained committed to her health and continued pursuing transplant eligibility. Stephanie and Sister Keli describe meeting through a community connection event and immediately sensing a familiar understanding between them. What started as an invitation to volunteer quickly developed into a meaningful friendship rooted in shared experience. Both women speak openly about how transplant and dialysis journeys can feel isolating—and how finding someone who truly understands can change everything. They reflect on the emotional complexity of receiving a transplant call: excitement, disbelief, fear, gratitude, and awareness that another family experienced loss. The conversation highlights the emotional and physical realities of transplant while emphasizing the importance of hope, advocacy, and community support. Stephanie and Sister Keli encourage listeners to stay committed to treatment plans, ask questions, lean on others, and remember that healing often happens in connection with community. Key Takeaways: 1. Healing Is More Than Medical—It's Relational Recovery isn't only about procedures and appointments. Community, connection, and shared understanding can become powerful parts of the healing journey. 2. Small Decisions Can Create New Possibilities From staying committed to dialysis to making lifestyle changes for transplant eligibility, each step forward can open the door to life-changing opportunities. 3. Hope and Gratitude Can Coexist With Hardship Transplant journeys carry both joy and grief. Receiving a second chance at life often comes with deep appreciation for donors and renewed purpose moving forward. Tweetable Quotes “You have to be in a certain BMI to receive a transplant. The doctor connected me with weight loss people, we got a weight loss plan together, and I dropped that weight. Then less than six months after I dropped that weight, I was listed.” Stephanie Bates “I feel like the Lord started sending people to talk to me. You get a call from somebody that you haven't heard from in a while, and they have a message for you. And so these people over the weekend started talking to me, and I said, "Oh no,” I said, "This is serious.” And so I reported, and they put me on peritoneal dialysis.” Sister Keli “This is why I'm here now, speaking out to people and letting them know, take your treatments seriously, don't cut off your treatments, don't skip your treatments, because the after effect of that? Sometimes you can't even come back from it.” Sister Keli “I'm like, something is familiar about her. And then I come to find her birthdays around my birthday, we just were familiar and able to link, but more than that, she understood where I had been, and I understood where she had been, and that was something I didn't have with any of my other friends.” Sister Keli “It (bond they share) creates a sense of like, “So there is someone who knows exactly what I'm going through.” Now our stories are not entirely the same. We've been through the same types of situations, the waiting process, “Is the kidney ever coming in?”, all the procedures, and all the testing. It feels daunting, it feels overwhelming.” Stephanie Bates Resources: Donatelifeky.org https://getoffthelist.org/ https://www.networkforhope.org/ https://www.networkforhope.org/about-us/ https://www.networkforhope.org/stories-of-hope/ https://www.facebook.com/NetworkForHopeOPO https://www.youtube.com/@NetworkforHope. https://aopo.org/ RegisterMe.org/NetworkforHope
*Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player. Summary This conversation centers on the importance of living in continual awareness of God's presence and intentionally including Him in every aspect of daily life. Ron shares how his experience in Israel impacted his walk with the Lord, particularly through the Jewish practice of prayer, memorizing Scripture, and keeping God at the forefront of everyday activities. The discussion highlights how prayer is not merely a religious exercise but a way of welcoming God's presence into every moment. The family also reflect on a worship service at a Messianic Jewish Kehila in Jerusalem, where people of all ages participated by singing and reciting Scripture. This experience served as a powerful picture of the Body of Christ functioning together, with every member contributing. The conversation further explores the beauty of Israel, the faith and resilience of its people, the security provided by the IDF, and the fulfillment of biblical prophecies visible in modern Jerusalem. Throughout the discussion, the emphasis remains on recognizing God's faithfulness, cultivating His presence, and allowing His Word to become a living reality in daily life. Show Notes • Ron shares how his trip to Israel changed his perspective on prayer and daily fellowship with God. • The importance of memorizing Scripture and keeping the Word continually before the Lord. • Dale explains how Jewish culture intentionally includes God in every aspect of life. • Discussion of prayer as the gateway to living in God's presence. • Ron describes attending a Messianic Jewish Kehila where worship centered on Scripture, participation, and community. • The congregation demonstrated a living expression of the Body of Christ, with every person contributing. • Reflections on the beauty and fruitfulness of the land of Israel. • Observations of the security and vigilance of the Israeli people and the IDF. • Testimonies of feeling God's peace and protection while in Israel. • The fulfillment of biblical prophecy seen in the children playing in the streets of Jerusalem. • Recognition of God's faithfulness to His promises and His ongoing work among His people. Key Quotes • "When you do that, it really brings the Lord front and center in an awareness." • "I'm trying to memorize, memorize, memorize so that I can mumble all day long the Word of God." • "The drive of our hearts is to be in His presence always." • "The best way to welcome Him into our presence is prayer." • "To me, it was like an example of the Body of Christ moving where every member supplies." • "I never felt afraid at all, not even once." • "A lot of it had to do with the presence of the Lord." • "The children will be playing once again in the streets of old Jerusalem." • "These kids were having a ball. They were just having fun." Scriptural References Psalm 1 (2) "But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on His law he meditates day and night." Referenced through Ron's emphasis on memorizing and continually speaking the Word of God. Psalm 119 (11) "Your word I have treasured in my heart, that I may not sin against You." Reflects the discussion of hiding God's Word in the heart through memorization. Joshua 1 (8) "This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night." Illustrates the practice of continually speaking and meditating on God's Word. 1 Thessalonians 5 (17) "Pray without ceasing." Supports the theme of including God in every aspect of life through continual prayer. John 15 (4–5) "Abide in Me, and I in you." Reflects the desire to live continually in God's presence and awareness. Ephesians 4 (16) "From whom the whole body, being fitted and held together... causes the growth of the body." Illustrates Ron's observation of every member participating during worship at the Kehila. 1 Peter 2 (5) "You also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house." Supports the picture of a functioning spiritual community where every member contributes. Isaiah 35 (1) "The wilderness and the desert will be glad, and the Arabah will rejoice and blossom like the crocus." Connected to the discussion of Israel's land flourishing and becoming fruitful. Zechariah 8 (4–5) "Old men and old women will again sit in the streets of Jerusalem... and the streets of the city will be filled with boys and girls playing in its streets." Directly referenced in the conversation regarding Rothschild Square and children playing in Jerusalem. Psalm 91 (1–2) "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty." Reflects the testimony of experiencing peace and protection while in Israel. Takeaway Living in God's presence is not reserved for special moments of worship or prayer meetings; it is a daily lifestyle of intentionally including Him in everything we do. As believers fill their hearts with His Word, cultivate continual prayer, and remain aware of His nearness, they become increasingly sensitive to His presence and His leading. Out of that relationship flows peace, worship, fellowship, and a living expression of Christ through His Body. The more God becomes the center of everyday life, the more His reality is manifested in and through His people.
What if the pressure you're under right now isn't a sign that something is going wrong — but that something is being built? We live in a world that treats discomfort as a problem to be solved and pressure as a threat to be escaped. But Christine Caine opens Hebrews with a different diagnosis entirely: the pressure isn't the enemy of your faith. It's the furnace where your faith becomes real. In week 3 of our summer series, Christine Caine closes the Root phase with the message that connects everything: faith, endurance, and pressure don't just coexist — they're designed to work together. James 1 tells us the testing of faith produces endurance. Endurance produces the rooted character that holds a flourishing life. Roots don't grow in comfort. They grow in resistance. This is the last week of the Root phase. Next week everything shifts — and you need this foundation under you before it does. ✨ If you've ever asked questions like… ✅ How do I keep going in my faith when I'm exhausted and everything feels hard? ✅ Is it okay to feel like I want to quit — and what do I do with that feeling? ✅ Why does God allow so much pressure and pain if He's for me? ✅ What does it mean to run with endurance — is that just white-knuckling it? ✅ How do I stop running from hard things and start growing through them? ✅ What does the "great cloud of witnesses" actually mean for me in my daily life? ✅ How do I build roots strong enough to hold everything God is calling me toward? …then this is your episode.
Chris Duffy: Humor Me Chris Duffy is an award-winning podcaster, comedian, and television writer. He hosts the podcast How to Be a Better Human and you can find his comedic TED talk, “How to find laughter anywhere” online. He is the author of Humor Me: How Laughing More Can Make You Present, Creative, Connected, and Happy (Amazon, Bookshop)*. It sometimes seems like someone with a good sense of humor does everything a bit better. Perhaps leadership is no different – but it's not about landing jokes. In this episode, Chris and I explore why everyday humor is all about paying attention and generosity. Key Points Humor might not make the list of top leadership competencies, but it helps you perform every other competency better. A good sense of humor is inherently generous. Effective humor isn't landing the perfect joke or being the center of attention. It's noticing the humor is everyday work and bravely calling attention to it. The first pillar of cultivating humor is simply being present. Start with times you are least present and most zoned out. Zero in with a “new bathroom” frame of mind. Celebrate the bad stuff and find humor in it. By doing so, you inherently help people appreciate excellence.

Have you ever noticed how often the mind lives somewhere other than here? Replaying yesterday. Planning tomorrow. Waiting for life to begin. Yet the most extraordinary truth is this: your life is happening now. Today's meditation is centered around the affirmation: "This moment is a gift." Together, we'll explore how mindfulness helps us step out of autopilot and awaken to the beauty, wisdom, and opportunities hidden within ordinary moments.

Because the life you've been waiting to enjoy may already be here. Today's affirmation: "This moment is a gift." Take a deep breath, settle into stillness, and let's discover what this moment has been waiting to show you. A DAILY MESSAGE FOR YOUR HEART Dear Friend, What if the moment you've been waiting for isn't in the future? What if it's this one? So often, we rush through our days believing that peace, happiness, or fulfillment will arrive later—when life is less busy, less complicated, or more certain. But life is happening now. Not tomorrow. Not someday. Right here, in this breath, in this moment. Today, I invite you to slow down just enough to notice the gift that's already in front of you. You don't need to change anything or become anyone else. Just be here. Because this moment has never existed before, and it never will again. And perhaps it has something beautiful to offer you. I'm grateful you're here. With love, Mary This is day 2 of a 7-day meditation series, "Mindful Living: 7 Days to Create Better Habits," episodes 2523-2529.

Every meaningful change begins with awareness. Before we can change a habit, improve our health, strengthen a relationship, or reduce stress, we first need to notice what's happening in the present moment. In today's meditation, we'll explore the foundation of mindful living: awareness. This guided meditation will help you slow down, reconnect with the present moment, and lay the foundation for lasting personal growth. Perfect for: • Beginners to mindfulness • Stress reduction • Personal growth • Habit formation • Greater self-awareness • Living with more intention Today's intention: "I cannot change what I do not notice." Let's begin the journey together. A DAILY MESSAGE FOR YOUR HEART: Dear Friend, Welcome. Whether this is your first time meditating or you've walked this path before, I'm grateful you're here. Today marks the beginning of a new journey—not toward becoming someone else, but toward becoming more present with yourself and your life. As we begin, I want to gently remind you that meaningful change doesn't happen all at once. It happens in small moments of awareness. A pause before reacting. A deep breath before rushing ahead. A moment of noticing what you've been too busy to see. You don't need to have everything figured out. You don't need to be perfectly calm. You don't need to meditate perfectly. All you need to do is show up. The fact that you've chosen to spend these few moments caring for yourself tells me something important: there is a part of you that is ready to slow down, listen, and grow. Trust that part of yourself. Over the next seven days, we will take this journey one mindful step at a time. Some days may feel easier than others. Some lessons may resonate deeply, while others quietly plant seeds that bloom later. That's all part of the process. For now, simply allow yourself to be here. Exactly as you are. Exactly where you are. That is enough. And so are you. I'm honored to share this journey with you. With love, Mary This is day 1 of a 7-day meditation series, "Sleep Meditations to Stop Overthinking," episodes 2523-2529.

Irenaeus lived at a time when the church was being attacked from the outside by persecution and from the inside by false teaching.In this episode of Kitchen Table Theology, Pastor Jeff and Tiffany look at the life of Irenaeus, one of the early church's most important defenders of the gospel. Connected closely to the apostles through Polycarp, Irenaeus helped preserve apostolic teaching, confront the rise of Gnosticism, and guide the church with both truth and grace.Chapters:01:00 Who Was Irenaeus?Irenaeus was one of the most important Christian leaders of the second century. Closely connected to the apostles through Polycarp, his life is bridge between the New Testament church and the generations that followed.02:00 Asia Minor and the Early ChurchAsia Minor, located in what is now modern-day Turkey, played a major role in early church history03:30 Irenaeus' Connection to the Apostle JohnThe Apostle John taught Polycarp, Polycarp taught Irenaeus, placing Irenaeus only one generation removed from an eyewitness of Jesus Christ.05:00 Irenaeus in LyonAfter studying briefly in Rome, Irenaeus moved to Lyon in Gaul, modern-day France. There, he joined the leadership of a growing Christian congregation in one of the most important cities in Western Europe.07:30 Persecution in LyonWhile Irenaeus was away in Rome, severe persecution broke out against the Christians in Lyon. Nearly 50 believers were martyred, including Blandina, Sanctus, and the elderly bishop Pothinus.11:00 Irenaeus Becomes Bishop of LyonAfter returning from Rome, Irenaeus was chosen to replace Pothinus as bishop of Lyon. For the next 25 years, he shepherded the church, trained leaders, sent missionaries, and strengthened scattered congregations throughout the region.12:30 What Was Gnosticism?Gnosticism was one of the greatest challenges facing the early church. Many Gnostics believed that physical matter was evil, denied that Jesus truly became human, and claimed to possess secret knowledge unavailable to ordinary Christians.16:30 Irenaeus and Against HeresiesIrenaeus' most famous work, Against Heresies, exposed the errors of Gnostic teaching and defended the faith handed down from the apostles. His writings helped explain Christian doctrine clearly and earned him the title “the father of Christian theology.” 18:30 The Quartodeciman ControversyAnother major issue during Irenaeus' lifetime involved the timing of Easter. Rather than allowing a calendar disagreement to divide the church, Irenaeus urged believers to maintain fellowship where the gospel itself was not at stake.22:30 What Irenaeus Teaches Christians TodayStay rooted in apostolic truth, guard the gospel carefully, and pursue unity whenever possible. “Irenaeus fought fiercely for essential doctrines while showing remarkable charity to others in secondary matters.” - Pastor Jeff Cranston

Guest speaker Pastor Stu Hodges takes us to John 15, where Jesus teaches that a joyful life is a fruitful life—but the key isn't working harder, it's staying connected. Through the picture of the vine and branches, we discover that fruit comes not from striving but from remaining in Jesus, our source. If you've ever felt the pressure to do more and earn your way to joy, this message is an invitation to stop striving and simply stay connected.

Steve and Charlie listened to Saints CB Kool-Aid McKinstry's media availability after the team's OTAs.
The picture you see is from the inside of an old 100-thousand-watt shortwave transmitter that operated for many decades. What you see are the high-power tubes needed for it to operate. Sadly, these tubes are no longer available, rendering this massive transmitter unusable. So how do we keep shortwave alive? How do we stay connected when tough times come?

It's Thursday, June 11th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Nigerian court sentences Muslims to death for executing Catholics Last week, a court in the African nation of Nigeria sentenced four Muslim men to death for killing dozens of Catholics. Four years ago, the gunmen attacked a Pentecost Sunday service at a Catholic Church in southwest Nigeria. They killed 41 people, including children. Authorities determined that the armed men belonged to Al-Shabaab, an Islamic terrorist group. The massacre was the first terrorist attack on a church in southern Nigeria. According to Open Doors, Nigeria is the seventh most dangerous country worldwide for Christians. Proverbs 7:14 and 16 says, “Behold, the wicked man conceives evil . . . His mischief returns upon his own head, and on his own skull his violence descends.” Sudanese man arrested in Ireland for attempted beheading Authorities in Northern Ireland arrested a migrant from the African nation of Sudan on Tuesday. Police in Belfast accused him of carrying out a severe knife attack on a man in his 40s. People across the United Kingdom responded to the attempted beheading with protests. The victim was hospitalized with significant injuries to his face, neck, and back. Many U.K. citizens question their government's immigration policies, including Member of Parliament Rupert Lowe. In February, the lawmaker launched a national political party called Restore Britain. The party is devoted to ending mass immigration and also openly recognizes Britain's Christian heritage. Congress funds $70 billion for ICE and Border Patrol In the United States, President Donald Trump signed the Secure America Act yesterday. The $70 billion package fully funds the Department of Homeland Security. The bill specifically covers U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection for the rest of President Trump's second term. Listen to comments from House Speaker Mike Johnson after Congress passed the bill. JOHNSON: “The historic mandate that put President Trump in the White House and Republican majorities in both the House and the Senate is evidence of the fact that Democrats' ‘Defund the Police' agenda is wildly out of step with hardworking American families. After four long years of Democrat policies that opened the door to dangerous criminals and deadly drugs, Republicans are delivering on our promise to restore safe streets and secure our borders.” Inflation rose 4.3% Inflation reached a three-year high last month for American consumers. The cost of goods and services rose 4.2 percent in May compared to a year ago. Rising energy costs drove the inflation. Gasoline prices were up 40 percent from a year earlier. iPhone launch connected to lower U.S. fertility rate A new study from the National Bureau of Economic Research suggests that the launch of the iPhone contributed to declining fertility rates in the U.S. Apple introduced the iPhone in 2007. The U.S. general fertility rate has fallen by 22 percent since then. People have been spending more time on their smartphones and less time with each other. The study noted, “Overall, the diffusion of the iPhone explains 33–52% of the decline in the general fertility rate among women aged 15–44.” Southern Baptists: Only men can serve as pastors The Southern Baptist Convention affirmed its position yesterday that only men can serve as pastors. Over 70 percent of the denomination's representatives voted in favor of the “Truth and Unity Amendment.” The measure was sponsored by Albert Mohler Jr., the president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. The amendment would require churches in the denomination to not appoint women as pastors, elders, or overseers. Listen to comments from Dr. Mohler. MOHLER: “This motion makes very clear that we affirm the historic Baptist understanding of the pastor, elder, overseer. The structure of the language I have brought goes all the way back to the 1689 Baptist Confession, where the office and function of the pastor are clearly delineated. “This amendment makes very clear that a church, in friendly cooperation with the Southern Baptist Convention, doesn't have anyone other than a man as pastor in the office of pastor and specifies on the functions of the pastor that the key central function of preaching the Word of God to the gathered assembly is limited to men by Scripture.” 1 Timothy 3:1-2 says, “If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. Therefore, an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach.” Animated movie “David” claims #1 spot on Netflix And finally, the animated film David reached the number one spot on Netflix for movies in the United States over the weekend. The Bible movie from Angel Studios officially premiered on the streaming service just last Wednesday. (audio from David movie trailer) DAVID: “I'm just a shepherd, but deep down I know I can take on the world.” NARRATOR: “There is a darkness over the land.” SAMUEL: “Our enemies will strike once more.” MAN: “Imagine the biggest warrior you have ever seen!” DAVID: “Okay.” MAN: “Now imagine somebody ate him.” GIRL: “Remember when I told you God had big plans for you?” GOLIATH: “You will serve us!” GIRL: “They may have been bigger than even I thought.” Christian music artist Phil Wickham voiced the adult David in the movie. Wickham told Crosswalk Headlines the film is “full of the story of God and full of Psalms and full of hallelujah and faith and hope. … I think this movie will last decades. I think it will be something our grandkids watch.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, June 11th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

✨ "They come in with a cane and feeling disabled, and then they say, 'Here, take the cane, honey. I'm gonna walk this horse.' We've seen this so many times we can't even number it." – Nancy Schier AnzelmoDescription Paula Hertel and Nancy Schier Anzelmo are the co-founders of Connected Horse, a California-based program that brings equine-assisted experiences to older adults living with dementia or memory loss — alongside their care partners. Backed by research conducted with Stanford University and UC Davis, Connected Horse is one of the first programs in the country to specifically serve this population in this way. Kansas Carradine, HeartMath-certified trainer and returning EAW guest, joins to explore the science of heart coherence, entrainment, and why horses may be uniquely suited to reach people that other approaches cannot.Connected Horse's work challenges the assumption that equine-assisted services are only for children or younger adults. Their Stanford and UC Davis pilot studies recorded statistically significant reductions in depression, anxiety, and caregiver burden — with 100% participant return rates at a six-month booster session. Participants regularly go from fearful and withdrawn to walking horses, speaking in full sentences, and feeling activated to change their lives. The program is designed to be failure-free: for the person with the diagnosis, for the care partner, and for the horses.In this episode, Rupert, Paula, Nancy, and Kansas explore the physiology behind what happens when a person leans their heart against a horse's neck, why dementia and autism require similar practitioner responses around pacing and unconditional presence, what ritual and ceremony have to do with cortisol regulation, and how social prescribing may bring programs like Connected Horse into mainstream healthcare.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The detective was fired. The prosecutor is retiring. The county clerk resigned months ago citing persecution. And at the center of it all is a nineteen-page judicial order that documents — in constitutional detail — how the most critical evidence in the Aaron Spencer murder case was mishandled, lost, and never accounted for.Judge Ralph Wilson Jr. found that Detective Robbie McCain violated the Lonoke County Sheriff's Office's own evidence policies in ways the court called "intentional." McCain removed a dashcam from Michael Fosler's truck without photographing or documenting it. Pulled the SD card and viewed it on his personal computer — a direct violation of department protocol that requires electronic evidence go untouched to the AG's forensics unit. Stored the camera in an untaped envelope in his personal office cabinet rather than the evidence room. Didn't log any of it. The camera wasn't entered into evidence for over a year. The SD card vanished and was never recovered.The judge heard testimony from McCain's own commanding officer confirming that every one of these actions violated policy. He heard from an expert witness who said McCain was specifically trained not to remove SD cards because of the risk of wiping data. He found a "reasonable possibility" that the detective didn't see what he claimed was on the card — because no copy or documentation was ever created. And he concluded that the cumulative pattern of violations gave "the appearance of a coverup."Two days after that order was signed, the sheriff's office fired McCain for "policy violations." The prosecutor who fought to keep the murder charge alive through his final filing is retiring this year without public explanation. The county clerk left before the primary, citing a hostile environment in her office. When the people inside a system start heading for the exits at the same time — and a judge has documented why — the departures aren't the story. What they're leaving behind is.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Few of us ask what the words of the Declaration of Independence actually meant to the men who wrote them — or how much help they had from places like Havana and Madrid. Renowned author and historian Felipe Fernández‑Armesto has spent his career studying colonialism, empire and the Hispanic roots of the Americas. In this Outspoken conversation, he helps us see the Declaration through 18th‑century eyes and reminds us that the United States has always been more Latin American than we tend to admit Learn more about your ad choices.

Please use headphones or save this episode for later if you have children nearby.In this episode of the Married and Connected podcast, host Kameran sits down with Keri Green, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and certified sex therapist, for a highly practical and direct conversation about the realities of physical and emotional connection in marriage.Drawing from their professional expertise and personal experiences navigating divorce and dating, Kameran and Keri tackle the tough, often unspoken challenges couples face. From the impact of "sex sabbaticals" to managing mismatched libidos and performance anxiety, this episode provides actionable, evidence-based tools to help you and your partner build safety, trust, and genuine pleasure in your relationship.Key TakeawaysStaying for the Kids: A candid look at why waiting for the kids to grow up before addressing a fractured marriage often backfires, and why modeling a healthy relationship is paramount.The Danger of "Sex Sabbaticals": Why withholding intimacy as a punishment ultimately hurts both partners and turns spouses into mere roommates.Mismatched Sex Drives: Practical steps for bridging the gap when partners have drastically different desires for the frequency or type of sex, starting with redefining what "sex" actually means.Transitioning from Manager to Lover: How to drop the mental load of household chores and transition into an intimate headspace, including why foreplay actually starts the moment you wake up.Performance Anxiety: Understanding that both men and women experience physical and mental pressure in the bedroom, and how building body confidence and emotional safety counters it.Introducing Novelty: Why spicing up a long-term monogamous relationship doesn't require extreme measures—small, consistent changes in environment or routine make a massive difference.Notable Quotes"Foreplay begins the minute we wake up. Foreplay is anything we do throughout the day to show our partner we love them, we appreciate them, we're attracted to them." — Keri Green"Comfort first, pleasure second. We cannot find pleasure to the point where we want to, where we deserve to in a sexual experience unless we're comfortable." — Keri Green"It takes two people to start a relationship. It only takes one to end it." — Keri Green"The best sex that you can possibly have is with someone where you have so much trust and emotional intimacy and knowing, and not just honesty, but transparency." — KameranConnect with Keri GreenKeri Green is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Sex Therapist practicing in California and Colorado.

You've been filling your days to the brim and calling it faithfulness. Every hour accounted for. Every margin eliminated. You pull it all off, too, and you reach the end of the day unable to say why it felt empty. The people you love most were technically present, but you couldn't really see them. You measured the day by what got done, not by who got loved. And underneath the productivity, if you're honest, there was a quieter engine running — the fear that if you slowed down, you'd have to sit with something you're not ready to face. Tyler Staton, lead pastor of Bridgetown Church in Portland, author of Praying Like Monks Living Like Fools, The Familiar Stranger, and his newest book After Amen, joins me for what I believe is one of the most theologically precise and personally confronting conversations this show has produced. Tyler has walked through a stage-four cancer diagnosis and come through it with a startling clarity about what the soul actually needs. In this conversation we cover the holiness of unfinished things, how to distinguish Spirit-led submission from fear-driven people-pleasing, what it means to absorb the wrongs of another without becoming a doormat, why approval addiction and genuine love cannot coexist in the same moment, and what Jesus's own relationship to human limits reveals about how we were designed to live. What Tyler says about the Kingdom of God is worth stopping on. The Kingdom only comes in the present, he argues, and when you're living in your head, toward the next thing, you cannot participate in it. This isn't a productivity hack. It's a diagnosis of a spiritual condition most of us have normalized. The hurry we've made peace with is the very thing severing us from the people we love, the voice of the Spirit we say we want, and the joy we keep expecting to find somewhere ahead. What you'll find in this conversation is not comfort. You'll find a mirror. Tyler names the lie that high-achievers and approval-seekers share in common: that more urgency and more effort will eventually produce the love and belonging we're chasing, and he tells you exactly why that trade will cost you your soul. This conversation will ask something of you. The question is whether you're ready to slow down enough to hear it. Guest Bio Tyler Staton is the lead pastor of Bridgetown Church in Portland, Oregon, and the national director of 24-7 Prayer USA. He is the author of Praying Like Monks, Living Like Fools, The Familiar Stranger — a book about encountering the Holy Spirit as a living Person — and his newest release, After Amen: 50 Days of Poetry and Prayer, written in the aftermath of a stage-four cancer diagnosis and the particular clarity that kind of wilderness produces. Tyler lives in Portland with his wife Kirsten, and their three sons. His work sits at the intersection of contemplative prayer, Spirit-led formation, and the kind of pastoral honesty that refuses to separate theological depth from ordinary daily life.

After years of feeling like a socially awkward pre-teen, alcohol arrived in real sober mom Laura's life. It seemed to give her the courage to embody the persona of a ‘hot fun party girl,' and with it, she left her sense of awkwardness behind. From there on, ‘booze and boys' took priority over everything else in Laura's life. The party didn't stop when Laura entered her professional life. It didn't stop when she got married. And it didn't stop when she had kids. It just kept changing, and eventually it took on a new role - as a coping mechanism for the identity crisis of motherhood and resentments that she was struggling with in her life. Laura began to question: did she have a problem with alcohol? Laura's first attempt at sobriety was cut short by Covid. Future attempts, including medication and moderation, felt fruitless. She struggled to understand what she was ‘doing wrong' when everywhere else could drink ‘normally'. It was The Sober Mom Life podcast that gave Laura her first peek into who she really wanted to be as a sober woman. Now 2 ½ years sober, she's been a valued part of the Sober Mom Life cafe ever since!
