Greg answers questions about apologetics resources for young children, the fate of people who never heard the gospel, catering to those who have been historically marginalized, reconciling Romans 3 with the idea that those who seek God find him, and whether the atonement is illogical.   Topics: Do you know of any apologetics resources for children who are ages six and ten? (03:00) What happens to people who never heard the gospel or who lived before the time of Jesus? How do they get saved? (09:00) How would you respond to the idea that people who have been historically marginalized ought to be catered to? (25:00) How do you reconcile the idea that those who seek God find him with Romans 3, which says no one seeks God? (44:00) How is it logical to think that a God-man can die on a cross and absolve you of your moral shortcomings?

When Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) won his Senate seat in 2024, he outperformed Kamala Harris in one of the closest battleground states in the country.  Now that he's in Washington, Gallego's background is particularly relevant at this moment in politics. With the Iran War intensifying, Gallego offers his perspective as an Iraq War veteran on Trump's military operation.  And as a Latino Democratic senator of a border state, Gallego has a distinctive outlook on immigration, with criticism for his own party as well as the GOP.  Sen. Gallego sat down with POLITICO's Dasha Burns on “The Conversation” to talk about voter ID, the 2028 election, and if he thinks Democrats can become the “fun” party again.

In this conversation, Tara is  joined by Mohsen Mahdawi—Palestinian refugee, Buddhist practitioner, and courageous voice for justice—whose life bridges worlds that are so often held apart. Growing up in a refugee camp and later emerging as a student leader and advocate for Palestinian dignity, Mohsen brings a rare integration of spiritual depth, clarity and dedication to societal transformation. Together they explore how inner awakening can ground fearless activism, what it means to stand for justice amid profound asymmetry of power, how to resist dehumanization in a polarized world, and whether a spiritually rooted movement for collective liberation is quietly emerging in our time. This dialogue is an invitation to reimagine activism as an expression of love, belonging, and courageous presence.   Learn more about Mohsen's work at: http://www.mohsen-mahdawi.com   Our introduction music is from "Opening" by Adrienne Torf, © 2025 ABT Music

Mea Culpa welcomes back the intrepid newsman, Ali Velshi. Host of “Velshi” and seemingly favorite fill-in host of every other MSNBC Prime Time News Show. Velshi also reported live from the frontlines of the George Floyd protests and most recently he dodged incoming fire from Russian artillery when he fearlessly reported live from the frontlines in Ukraine. A concerned citizen of the world, Velshi seems to be everywhere there is an injustice. I recently join Ali on his show to discuss my latest book, “Revenge.” Michael and Ali dig deep into Trump's anti-semitic dog whistle and the looming midterm elections which could reverse the work of the January 6th Committee and unleash a new wave of MAGA insanity.

Morning vibes with unreal weather and Riz taking his dogs on a three-mile walk instead of hitting the gym — because let's be honest, the dogs won that negotiation immediately. There's talk about vitamin D, REO Speedwagon being the soundtrack of the stroll, and the slow realization that spring might actually be here (but nobody fully trusts it).Conversation shifts into seasonal habits — rotating clothes, dry cleaning coats (or not), and the eternal hope that winter is finally done.This episode kicks off with spring finally showing up in St. Louis, but quickly spirals into chaos as Rafe turns getting a retaining wall into a full-blown dating show—interviewing 15 contractors before falling for a guy named Tom who actually explained what he was doing (romance isn't dead, it just builds landscaping). The crew also dives into March Madness, where picking teams based on vibes might be smarter than actual knowledge, and the city cracking down hard on street takeovers with curfews, fines, and spike strips like it's GTA: STL.From there, things get even weirder with a 90s movie bracket that sparks emotional debates, a possible Banksy identity reveal that might ruin the mystery, and an uplifting update on Punch the Monkey, who somehow has a better love life than most listeners. Add in Gen Z declaring capital letters “too aggressive,” a wild round of Fake News or Florida (spoiler: it's always Florida), and some celeb news about Mick Jagger slowing down, and you've got a perfectly chaotic snapshot of a world that makes less sense by the day—but is way funnier because of it.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Violent weekend: Multiple shootings, street takeovers in St. LouisRapper Afroman wins lawsuit against Ohio police over mocking their raid of his home in viral music videosScientists have created a liquid robot that moves like the T-1000 from Terminator 2, and this time it is realThe Most Popular Dog Breeds of 2025: French Bulldog Holds Top SpotWho is Banksy?

Most parents dread “the talk.” How much are you supposed to say? When do you start? What if you say the wrong thing? If you've ever felt awkward, unprepared, or secretly hoped your kid would just… figure it out somewhere else — you're not alone. But here's the truth: talking to your kids about sex doesn't make them reckless. Research shows it does the opposite. It reduces risky behavior, increases safety, lowers shame, and strengthens your relationship. And it's never too late to start. In this episode, we break down how to move beyond one big, terrifying “talk” and instead create short, ongoing conversations that actually work. No lectures. No shame. Just practical, real-world guidance from a licensed sex therapist who's been helping families navigate this for over 20 years.

The love between a mother and her son is unbreakable. Kate Markland has been fighting for her parental rights to see and spend time with her son for years. When her civil matter of divorce was highjacked by the UK Child Protective Services, the tyrannical hand of the State has sought to take custody of her son and make the role of the parents wards of the State. But this story is like no other. Kate and her son Gabriel has overcome, using the allotted one hour per week of FaceTime contact to co-author a book series and change the lives of millions.  #BardsFM #KateMarkland #GodsHand Bards Nation Health Store: www.bardsnationhealth.com EnviroKlenz Air Purification, promo code BARDS to save 10%: www.enviroklenz.com EMPShield protect your vehicles and home.

Behnam Ben Taleblu joins Bridget to offer his expertise on Iran. They discuss who's actually in charge in Iran right now, what Americans need to understand about the Islamic Republic's ideology, why the plight of Iranian women gets ignored by Western feminists, and why this conflict is fundamentally different from Iraq 2003. They cover how the regime destroyed Iran's environment to fund the Revolutionary Guard, how they worked with Mexican drug cartels and Canadian biker gangs to target dissidents on US soil, how AI-generated propaganda muddies the water in favor of the regime, why Hollywood actors completely miss what's happening by lumping Iran with Palestine and Iraq, the regime's scorched earth strategy of burning countries to rubble to survive, Iranian sleeper cells already on US soil, the strategic importance of not giving this regime a premature off-ramp, and why Americans Googling “how far is Iran from the United States” shows how much work remains in explaining the stakes of this conflict.

Sign up for the live Conversations with Tyler recording with Craig Newmark at 92NY! Few living scholars can claim to have shaped how we read Machiavelli as decisively as Harvey Mansfield. His new book, The Rise and Fall of Rational Control, argues that Machiavelli didn't just write about politics—he invented the intellectual machinery of the modern world, starting with the concept of "effectual truth," which Mansfield credits as the seed of modern empiricism. At 93, after 61 years of teaching at Harvard, Mansfield remains cheerfully unimpressed by most of contemporary philosophy, convinced that the great books are self-sustaining, and that irony is what separates serious philosophy from the rest. Tyler and Harvey discuss how Machiavelli's concept of fact was brand new, why his longest chapter is a how-to guide for conspiracy, whether America's 20th-century wars refute the conspiratorial worldview, Trump as a Shakespearean vulgarian who is in some ways more democratic than the rest of us, why Bronze Age Pervert should not be taken as a model for Straussianism, the time he tried to introduce Nietzsche to Quine, why Rawls needed more Locke, what it was like to hear Churchill speak at Margate in 1953, whether great books are still being written, how his students have and haven't changed over 61 years of teaching, the eclipse rather than decline of manliness, and what Aristotle got right about old age and much more.

Cancer rates are rising rapidly, especially among younger women.

She explains why hormones are only one small piece of the health puzzle and why lifestyle, stress, toxins, sleep, and metabolic health play a much larger role in disease risk. Together they break down the truth about hormone replacement therapy, GLP-1 weight loss drugs, peptides, and fasting. Most importantly, they explain how women can create an internal environment where their cells can thrive. This episode will change how you think about health, prevention, and longevity.

In Part 2 we welcome back entrepreneur and Members Only Palm Beach breakout star, Taja Abitbol for a candid, hilarious, and revealing conversation about fame, fashion, wellness, and intuition at our West Hollywood Studio. The episode opens with playful banter and admiration for Taja's magnetic presence, as the hosts gush over her beauty, confidence, and early adoption of NAD therapy long before it became a Hollywood obsession. Taja explains her wellness knowledge came from elite athletes, not doctors, sparking discussion about longevity trends and performance culture. Fashion takes center stage when Taja recounts trying on Pol's couture gowns—an experience she jokingly likens to an “orgasm.” The group dives into rare custom fabrics, signature colors, and the power of couture to sculpt confidence. Taja also reveals she once created a capsule fashion collection that never launched due to COVID and hints at an upcoming collaboration. Relationship talk follows, including her supportive partner (prenup and all), astrological compatibility debates, and comedic confessions about independence at home. Cosmetic procedures enter the chat as Patrik discusses his BBL while Taja credits her curves to North African heritage. The hosts tease their own series Gown and Out in Beverly Hills, including a lavish runway spectacle filmed at the Armani Hotel in the Burj Khalifa. Conversation then pivots to Members Only Palm Beach, where Taja critiques cast authenticity, claiming some women “play to the camera” while she simply lives her life on screen. She also addresses red-carpet drama involving cast mate Gail, explaining witnesses confirmed she was threatened and suggesting insecurity fuels much of the conflict. A heartfelt segment highlights philanthropy through the David Cohn Foundation, emphasizing quiet charity over public bragging. The trio bond over authenticity, energy, and instant connection, positioning Taja as the emotional anchor of her show. The episode culminates with Pol's signature Armenian coffee reading. Revisiting a past prediction about a “rat” in Taja's circle, she reveals she has identified the betrayer and teases viewers may learn more in Season 2. New symbols in the cup bring powerful insights: karma catching up to the culprit, the number seven signaling a major agreement soon to be signed, and heart imagery pointing to a deeply personal venture—likely her dream wellness empire and future hotel brand. A final warning surfaces about an unresolved issue from her past that must be closed before her next chapter accelerates. The episode ends on an optimistic note, blending humor, glamour, spiritual insight, and the promise that Taja's story is far from over.

Join Lisa Whittle for an honest and courageous conversation about why the church must stand up and lead differently in today's cultural climate. In this episode, she unpacks the subtle ways fear-based messaging—whether through policies or social media narratives—can diminish women's identity and value in the church. Lisa discusses how the church's response to trends like "SkinnyTok" and the pressure to "stay small" often reflect a deeper issue of fear and a lack of biblical clarity. She calls the church to move beyond reactive policies and instead embrace a theology rooted in trust, respect, and the biblical understanding of men and women as co-heirs in Christ. Whether you're a leader or a believer longing for a healthier, more honest church culture, this episode offers hope, challenge, and a renewed call to lead with integrity and love. Listen in to learn more: (1:14) Lisa's take on Biblical womanhood and what led to this mini-series (2:23) Church attendance is declining for women. Why? (5:33) What is "SkinnyTok" culture?

Our guest this week is a Surfer, entrepreneur, savvy businessman, certified Surf industry legend, and owner of one of the most iconic Surf Shops in Southern California, if not the world. It's a true time capsule, both in its decor and in the fact that it remains one of the very few core Surf Shops still focused mainly on surfboards, wetsuits, and hard goods. They even have an in-house wetsuit repair shop in the back.Known for the witty satire on its legendary PCH sign in Newport Beach, Frog House has never been shy about stirring the pot. Messages like “Now Accepting Eggs as Payment,” “Our Wetsuits Didn't Hang Themselves, Neither Did Epstein,” and “Frog House Daycare and Learing Center” have become part of the shop's daily character and charm.Inside, the vibe feels more like a bachelor pad frat house full of Surf bums and lovable misfits than a traditional retail shop and that's exactly how they like it. Since 1962, the Frog House has built its reputation on deep Surf knowledge, strong camaraderie, and hand picked employees trained by some of the best in Surf Culture.We're excited to sit down and hear how this Florida grom moved to Huntington Beach during his senior year of high school, convinced then owner Frank Jensen to give him a job, worked his way up to shop manager, and somehow saved enough money to buy the shop in 1978.But that's only part of the story. We're beyond pumped to hear it all straight from the man himself, the “Core Lord,” owner of Frog House, Mr. Thomas “TK” Brimer.

This episode has themes of: Mindset, relationships, authenticity, real vs. fake, the illusion of perfection, people pleasing, self abandonment, empowerment, finance, fun and feminine energy.Shop all things Muve Life here: https://muvelife.comFollow Michelle on Instagram here: https://instagram.com/themichellewolfe

“I think, you know, what I mentioned before would really apply, and that's sit down and really come up with a plan over the next twelve months. What do I want to do? Do I want to release a single every month or maybe it's a couple of singles leading up to an EP and then actually execute that. And, you know, at the same time, be consistent. You don't want to be an artist that puts out a few tracks and then, you know, goes away for about four years and tries to come back and do it again, because you're going to have to really start over. I mean, there's just too much out there, you know, to consume that, you know, you're going to lose a lot of your fan base if you don't engage with them. You have to consistently engage with the fan base, consistently release music and devise a plan, like I said, for each of the platforms so you can gauge and analyze exactly what's working and what's not. So the next time you put something out, you know what to do.” – Jesse FloresThis episode is the second half of my conversation with Vice President of Artist and Label Partnerships at Intercept Music Jesse Flores, as we talk about how Intercept Records is balancing AI advances and human creativity, his thoughts on what music genres might take off next, and why rushing to upload your next single might not be the best long-term strategy for building a fan base.As always, if you have questions for my guest, you're welcome to reach out through the links in the show notes.

I would so appreciate that.(00:00) – AI in Music MarketingOur conversation picks up as Jesse talks about how Intercept is putting AI to use for its clients without undermining its artists. “We definitely support AI when it comes to a marketing tool,” he explains, “[but] content creation, not so much, because we really support human-made content that has some soul put behind it, an actual human behind it.” He also offers his advice to musicians on social media. “You have to consistently engage with their fan base, consistently release music and devise a plan,” he says, “for each of the platforms so you can gauge and analyze exactly what's working.”(9:30) – Strategies for Emerging ArtistsJesse tells us where he sees the future of music heading, and whether AI music could someday become a genre of its own. “Talent is a priority,” he says. “You know, you've got to have talent if you're an artist nowadays. I think that's always been the case since day one. Making music that is timeless, making music that is undeniable… that's what's going to keep you in this for the long run.” As our conversation comes to a close, he shares his thoughts on the power of sound, and what artists can do to help set themselves apart from the background noise. “There are different points and moments in your life when you hear a song,” he tells us, “[and] you know what you were doing when you first heard it, or, you know, it brings back memories of this person that you were dating at the time, or where you were or who your friends were. Like, it's just always going to be there for me.”Episode SummaryExploring the benefits and challenges of AI in marketing versus music creation.Jesse offers his advice on building a music career and engaging with fans.Connect with the Audio Branding Podcast:Book your project with Voice Overs and Vocals by visiting https://voiceoversandvocals.comConnect with me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jodikrangle/Watch the Audio Branding Podcast on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/JodiKrangleVOConnect with me on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jodikrangle/Leave the Audio Branding Podcast a review at https://lovethepodcast.com/audiobranding (Thank you!)Share your passion effectively with these Tips for Sounding Your Best as a Podcast Guest!https://voiceoversandvocals.com/tips-for-sounding-your-best-as-a-podcast-guest/Get my Top Five Tips for Implementing an Intentional Audio Strategyhttps://voiceoversandvocals.com/audio-branding-strategy/Editing/Production by Humberto Franco - https://humbertofranco.com/This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: OP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy

You can start multisite for all the right reasons: healthy momentum, strong mission and a genuine desire to reach more people. But then a few years in, you find yourself looking around thinking, "Wait… is this actually producing what we hoped it would?" Alignment feels harder. Decision-making feels heavier. Outcomes aren't quite matching the vision you had in mind when you started. And that's where a lot of churches begin asking a really honest question: Did we choose a model that's leading us to different results than we were hoping for? In this episode, Sean and Amy shift from problems to solutions—they share multisite model best practices you can actually benchmark against as you're evaluating where your multisite church might feel stuck.   This Episode is Sponsored by The Church Lawyers Every church needs trusted legal counsel, but finding attorneys who truly understand ministry can be challenging.

Something has shifted in childhood. Parents feel it, but most can't quite explain it. Conversations are happening earlier. Pressure is showing up sooner. And the pace of childhood feels like it's speeding up right in front of us. So parents are left wondering: Is Childhood Disappearing? Or are we raising children in a completely different world? In this powerful episode, Connie Albers names what many are experiencing but few are able to articulate. She introduces a framework called The Age of Acceleration, and unpacks the five forces quietly re-shaping childhood today. You'll begin to see: Why exposure is happening earlier than development can support Why technology is advancing faster than wisdom Why children are feeling more, but aren't equipped to handle it And why parenting today feels heavier, faster, and less predictable But this episode doesn't just explain the shift. It helps you understand your role within it. Because when you can name what's happening, something changes. You stop second-guessing. You stop reacting to the chaos. And you start leading your family with clarity again. Childhood isn't disappearing. But it is being reshaped. And when you understand how, you can raise children who are steady, even in a world that isn't.   Read the full show notes with links here: The Five Forces Re-Shaping Childhood   If you enjoy listening to Parenting and Homeschool Advice ~ Equipped To Be with Connie Albers, please leave a review and a five-star rating.

Welcome back for another Damn We Grown Wednesday! This week, Mike and Tiff are keeping it all the way real about the pure exhaustion of adulting, from Maddi dragging a tired Tiff to the beach to trying to solve a Dinner Detective murder mystery with Ari and the crew. We are also sending some major birthday shoutouts to Rod, Jody, Sean, and a heavenly birthday to Ma Pearl.Here is what we are getting into this episode:Episode Highlights:Surviving the Weekend & Murder Mysteries: Tiff is running on fumes after being dragged to the beach by Maddi, proving that a mother's rest always takes a backseat to kids' activities.

We hilariously break down how the Web2 era and social media have killed real-life communication skills. Remember the days of The Clapper and actually calling someone on a telephone?.The Ultimate AI Music Prank: Tapping into his producer ear, Mike plays a soulful, 80s-style funk track that has Tiff grooving—until he reveals the whole thing was generated by AI. Her reaction is pure comedy, sparking a deep dive into AI technology, copyright laws, and the future of creative artistry.The Meat & Potatoes – Chasing Dreams Later in Life: Is it too late to go back to school or pivot your career when you are in your 30s or 40s?. We tackle the heavy hurdles like existing student loans, the fear of failure, and the financial responsibilities of adulting.

In this fascinating discussion with Adam Engst, we discuss how he used to think that reading added information to essentially a database in his brain. Recently, though, he has started to think about his brain as a large language model, and that instead, reading is changing the weights of the model to include new information. Here's a link to the article on tidbits.com/... where Adam explains this concept in full detail.

Kittle opens up about his achilles recovery and gives his stamp of approval on Robert Saleh. The conversation goes everywhere — from conspiracies and Achilles injuries to Christian McCaffrey, Brandon Aiyuk, and locker-room dynamics around the league. The boys also get into MORE Nashville food talk, Pokemon nostalgia, spring tour updates, and a heated George vs Will debate. The Boys then wrap the episode with some Star Wars and Lord Of The Rings talk while reviewing their favorite tv series.

Mea Culpa welcomes back our old friend Elie Honig. Honig is a best-selling author, a CNN Senior Legal Analyst, and a former federal and state prosecutor. You may also know him from his popular podcasts, “Up Against the Mob” and/or “Cafe Brief”. As a New Jersey federal prosecutor, Honig directed major criminal cases against street gangs, arms dealers, and even a few corrupt politicians. He was also an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, where he successfully prosecuted more than 100 members of La Cosa Nostra, including bosses and other high-ranking members of the Gambino and Genovese organized crime families. And now Honig leverages all that prosecutorial experience to keep the public informed and as fodder for his latest book due out soon, entitled Hatchet Man: How Bill Barr broke the prosecutor's code and corrupted the Justice Department. Michael and Elie dig deep into Merrick Garland's DOJ, Mar-a-Largo, and the Manhattan criminal Investigation into Trump and his Business.

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong examines the shocking murders of legendary Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michelle Singer Reiner. Candice walks through what investigators say happened during the final hours before the couple were found stabbed to death inside their Brentwood home, and why their own son, Nick Reiner, quickly became the prime suspect in the case. She breaks down the timeline of the killings, Nick's movements after the crime, and the troubling history of addiction and severe mental health struggles that may play a central role in the investigation. Then, Candice is joined by former Los Angeles prosecutor and legal analyst Josh Ritter, who explains the legal process now unfolding, from Nick Reiner's arraignment to the possibility of an insanity defense and whether prosecutors may seek the death penalty. Together they explore how courts evaluate competency, the difference between mental illness and legal insanity, and what evidence could ultimately determine whether this case ends in prison, a psychiatric institution, or a lengthy jury trial.Audible subscribers can listen to all episodes of Killer Psyche ad-free right now.

When she was ten, just weeks after her grandfather's sudden death, she woke up in the middle of the night and saw him standing behind her in a bathroom mirror.She told herself it was grief. A dream. A half-awake child's imagination. She never told anyone. Decades passed. Near the end of her grandmother's life, dementia had taken most of her memories. Conversations drifted. Names slipped. Moments of clarity were rare.Then one afternoon, during one of those brief, startlingly lucid moments, her grandmother looked directly at her and referenced that night — specifically. A night no one had ever been told about. Now she doesn't know which explanation feels harder to accept. That it was just a dream. Or that it wasn't.#RealGhostStories #ParanormalPodcast #VisitationExperience #AfterDeathCommunication #SpiritVisitation #HauntedMirror #LifeAfterDeath #DementiaClarity #UnexplainedEncounters #ParanormalValidation #GhostlyEncounter #BeyondTheVeil #TrueGhostStoryLove real ghost stories?

Emotional intelligence is that thing that most people agree is important but few understand how to develop. It can feel tricky - and vulnerable. In this episode, I'm breaking down emotional intelligence skills in a highly practical way. Most leaders assume EQ means “stay calm” or “be nice,” but real emotional intelligence is far more active than that. It's a set of tangible skills that help you build trust, create psychological safety, and navigate the inevitable tension that comes with people working together. I'm sharing five emotional intelligence skills that I see leaders skip all the time - not because they don't care, but because no one ever taught them how to actually practice these skills in real moments. Listen in as I walk you through the difference between noticing emotions and naming them, suppressing reactions versus regulating them, and why reading the emotional undercurrent of a room matters just as much as managing the agenda. I share examples from my own leadership experiences, including moments when I've felt nervous before stepping on stage for a keynote and how I manage that in real time.  I also talk about two of the more challenging leadership skills: holding space without immediately trying to fix someone's problem, and repairing ruptures when things don't go the way you intended. People make mistakes. Conversations get messy. What builds real psychological safety isn't avoiding those moments; it's how you show up afterward. These five skills are simple and transformative. When leaders practice them consistently, teams feel safer, communication improves, and belonging becomes something people actually experience instead of something written in a company value statement. Emotional intelligence isn't about perfection. It's about recognizing and honoring what's happening inside you and around you, and then choosing how to respond in a way that protects trust and connection.
