Yossi Farro has turned a mitzvah into a global mission. In this episode of Meaningful People, he shares how a childhood spent putting tefillin on strangers in New York grew into a journey that has taken him around the world, connecting with celebrities, billionaires, entrepreneurs, influencers, and everyday Jews. From chance encounters with actors to live streams and meetings with some of the biggest names in business, Yossi explains how persistence, authenticity, and a simple pair of tefillin opened doors he never imagined.    Along the way, Yossi discusses the Chabad philosophy behind mivtzoim, why he believes tefillin has the power to inspire lasting Jewish connection, and the remarkable stories that have kept him motivated through thousands of encounters. He also reflects on the Rebbe's tefillin campaign, outreach after October 7, lessons from some of the world's most successful people, and why his mission is only getting started.  Join Meaningful Minute Plus   This episode was made possible thanks to our sponsors:   ► PZ Deals   Download the app and never pay full price again!   https://app.pz.deals/install/mpp   _________________   ► Colel Chabad Pushka App   The easiest way to give Tzedaka   https://pushkapp.cc/meaningful   _________________   ► EL AL   From the Hebrew announcements to the Israeli atmosphere onboard, flying EL AL feels like Israel before you even land.

The Superhero Show #627Fantastic Four: The Enemy of the GoodThe Superhero Show — The Enemy of the GoodThis week, The Superhero Show changes up its usual format for a special deep-dive episode dedicated entirely to Ryan North's Fantastic Four #7, the landmark 700th issue of Fantastic Four. Rather than splitting time between the 1994 animated series and the modern comic, the hosts devote the entire episode to discussing “The Enemy of the Good,” a double-sized anniversary issue that delivers mystery, time travel, tragedy, and one of the best Doctor Doom stories in recent memory.As the Fantastic Four retreat to Aunt Petunia's house to escape the constant attention of Maria Hill and S.H.I.E.L.D., they find themselves facing a strange phenomenon that causes them to gradually lose language itself. What begins as a haunting ghost story evolves into an epic examination of Doctor Doom, fate, and the impossible burden of trying to save the future.The hosts break down the issue's ambitious plot, Ryan North's storytelling strengths, and why this milestone issue feels worthy of celebrating 700 issues of Marvel's first family.The Enemy of the Good: A House Full of Missing WordsThe episode begins with a discussion of the issue's central mystery.While staying at Aunt Petunia's house, the Fantastic Four begin experiencing a bizarre condition where letters of the alphabet start disappearing from their minds. As more letters vanish, communication becomes increasingly difficult and reality itself begins to feel unstable.The hosts discuss how effectively Ryan North builds tension through what initially feels like a classic haunted-house story. The mystery unfolds slowly, creating an atmosphere that is equal parts unsettling and fascinating as the team struggles to understand what is happening before they lose the ability to explain it altogether.They praise the issue for taking an absurd comic-book concept and making it feel genuinely threatening.The Enemy of the Good: The Return of Doctor DoomAs the mystery deepens, the story reveals its true architect: Doctor Doom.The hosts spend a significant portion of the episode discussing how Ryan North writes Doom and why this version of the character has resonated so strongly with readers. Doom's motivation stems from his anger toward Reed Richards after the events that displaced Valeria, the Baxter Building, and its occupants into the future.Convinced that Reed's actions created a disaster that should have been avoidable, Doom becomes obsessed with proving that he is smarter, more capable, and better suited to solve the crisis than Reed ever was.The hosts highlight how perfectly this motivation captures Doom's defining flaw: his inability to accept that there might be problems even he cannot solve.The Enemy of the Good: A Battle Against FateOne of the most compelling parts of the issue centers on Doom repeatedly traveling through time in an attempt to prevent the catastrophic future event connected to Annihilus.The hosts discuss how Doom continuously alters his approach, going further and further back in time, trying countless solutions in an effort to prove that his intellect can overcome any obstacle. Every attempt fails.What Doom eventually discovers is that the event has become a Nexus point—a moment so essential that it will occur regardless of intervention.The conversation explores how powerful this realization is for a character whose entire identity revolves around being the smartest person in the room. For perhaps one of the few times in his life, Doom is forced to confront a problem that cannot be solved through intelligence, preparation, or sheer force of will.The Enemy of the Good: Understanding DoomThe hosts repeatedly return to the issue's portrayal of Doctor Doom, arguing that it may be one of the strongest character studies of the villain in years.They discuss how Ryan North balances Doom's arrogance, brilliance, ego, insecurity, and genuine care for Valeria. Rather than presenting Doom as simply evil, the issue shows him as a deeply flawed man whose greatest weakness is his inability to accept limitations.What makes the story especially effective is that Doom is often correct. He is brilliant. He is capable. He does care. Yet those truths make his failures hurt even more.The hosts praise North for creating a story where the emotional stakes feel just as important as the science-fiction concepts.The Enemy of the Good: Doom Stops DoomThe issue reaches its climax when Doom arrives at an unexpected conclusion.If no version of himself can successfully alter the future event, then the only solution is to prevent himself from attempting the mission in the first place.The hosts discuss the brilliant irony of Doom realizing that the greatest threat to the timeline is not Reed Richards—but Doom himself. By traveling back and subtly weakening his own forces, he creates the circumstances that allow Sue Storm and the Fantastic Four to stop him before his obsession spirals any further.It is a conclusion that feels both tragic and perfectly fitting for the character.Celebrating 700 Issues of Fantastic FourThe final segment focuses on the significance of this issue as the 700th installment of Fantastic Four.The hosts reflect on what it means for Marvel's first family to reach such a milestone and discuss why The Enemy of the Good feels like an appropriate celebration of everything the franchise represents. The issue combines family, science fiction, emotional storytelling, cosmic stakes, and character-driven drama in a way that encapsulates the very best of Fantastic Four comics.They also spend some time marveling at the fact that there have been 700 issues of Fantastic Four and what that says about the lasting impact of these characters.Final Thoughts — The Enemy of the GoodBy the end of The Enemy of the Good, The Superhero Show finds itself discussing not only one of the strongest issues of Ryan North's run, but potentially one of the strongest Doctor Doom stories in years. Through its blend of mystery, time travel, emotional stakes, and philosophical questions about fate, the issue delivers a memorable anniversary celebration worthy of the Fantastic Four legacy.Whether it's the haunting disappearance of language, the heartbreaking journey of Doctor Doom, or the reminder of why Marvel's first family has endured for 700 issues, The Enemy of the Good gives the hosts plenty to celebrate—and plenty to talk about.Are You a Research Nerd Who's Looking For More?Here are some links for all your research wants and needs!1994 Fantastic Four Animated SeriesRyan North's Fantastic FourJoin the discussions online! 1994 Fantastic Four Animated Series, Ryan North's Fantastic FourCatch Up On Past Episodes!Missed any of our past episodes?

What are the strongest Old Testament prophecies that point to Jesus as the Messiah? My guest is Jeff Morgan, a former secular Jew who does street evangelism with Jewish people in Israel. He hears the objections every day, in Hebrew, from people who grew up reading these texts. Jeff and I walk through 10 prophecies and address the common Jewish objections to each passage and shows where rabbinic sources themselves (Rashi, the Talmud, Targum Jonathan) connect these texts to a messianic figure.

Don't forget to subscribe for free to our newsletter, the top 10 ideas of the week, every Monday --------- Ed Catmull is the co-founder of Pixar and the former president of Disney Animation. He grew up in 1950s Utah wanting to animate for Disney. Convinced he couldn't draw well enough, he studied physics and computer science at the University of Utah instead, landing in one of the great talent incubators in computing history. In 1972, he animated his own left hand—one of the first 3D computer renderings ever made. Since childhood he had carried a single ambition: to make the first feature film animated entirely by computer. Reaching it took more than 20 years. George Lucas hired Catmull in 1979 to build a computer division at Lucasfilm. When Lucas needed cash, Steve Jobs bought that division in 1986 for $5 million and spun it out as Pixar. For years it sold imaging computers and lost money while Catmull and John Lasseter made short films to keep the dream alive. Jobs sank roughly $50 million of his own money into it. In 1995, Pixar released Toy Story, the first feature animated entirely by computer, and went public days later. Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, WALL-E, and Up followed. Disney bought Pixar in 2006 for $7.4 billion and put Catmull in charge of both studios; he revived a faltering Disney Animation with films like Frozen. Catmull cared about the conditions that let creative work survive its own fragility. Every original idea, he argues, starts out ugly and broken, and management exists to protect it long enough to get good. At Pixar that meant the Braintrust: a room where directors got blunt feedback with no authority attached and the conversation stayed on the problem, never on who was right. He laid it all out in Creativity, Inc.

You ask AI what’s the best brand of supplement, how to handle a tricky conversation, or whether to take the job. But what about your own inner wisdom? When was the last time you paused and asked yourself first? I’m not picking on AI or telling you not to use it. However, it’s important to tune into your inner wisdom, so it doesn’t slip into the background from lack of use. It’s like use it or lose it baby. Why We’re Outsourcing More Decisions Than Ever People have always looked outside themselves for guidance to experts, religious leaders, therapists, coaches, and even psychics, and astrologers. That’s nothing new. But AI has changed the speed of that outsourcing dramatically. Author, entrepreneur, and podcast host Tim Ferriss recently shared a transparent peak into his business. His book sales dropped over 40% in 2025 and a jaw-dropping 50% again so far in 2026. His explanation? People are skipping how-to books and long- form YouTube videos in favor of instant AI answers. This isn’t just a publishing problem. It’s a signal. We are increasingly moving away from anything that takes time. For decades we’ve had drive-through coffee, apps for finding love, and now there’s telehealth calls. But what are we missing when we skip just sitting with something and taking our time with it? Are we handing over big life decisions to something that compiles other people’s experiences rather than relying on your own? The Hidden Cost of Decision Fatigue Research suggests the average adult makes 35,000 decisions every single day. Just ordering a coffee involves cup size, hot or cold, caffeine, sweetener, milk type, and flavorings. No wonder we’re exhausted! Decision fatigue is real, and that overload pushes many of us to skip the natural process of seeking inner guidance, especially for big issues. When you’re depleted, it makes sense to look for something to ease the burden. AI is right there, fast and seemingly limitless. But that speed has a cost in terms of trusting yourself and your own inner knowing. Information and Inner Wisdom Are Not the Same This is the heart of the matter. Information is fast, external, and tells you what other people know. AI gather this information and can deliver it in seconds. On the other hand, inner wisdom is personal, earned through your lived experience, and requires time, awareness, and reflection to emerge. That is something AI will NEVER provide. For thousands of years, wisdom required effort. People took on apprenticeships, learned religious or spiritual practices, spent time in self-reflection, experienced trial and error and these paths often took years. But today, information arrives instantly. The question is are you trading the slow accumulation of wisdom for the quick hit of information? And what might you have lost as a result? 4 Things AI Cannot Do For You AI is a genuinely powerful tool for brainstorming, research, and saving time. But there are things it simply cannot tell you: Which opportunity feels right for your life Whether a relationship is for your highest good What your soul is nudging you toward What you truly want in your heart of hearts The danger isn’t that AI will replace your intuition. The danger is that you’ll skip it even after gathering information to make your final decision. This will eventually erode trust in yourself over time. A Personal Story About Self-Trust At the end of my corporate career, I took a layoff package instead of taking a position in another division of General Foods. That place was draining me of my life force. In fact, I had a recurring dream that ended one night with coming home from a business trip to find my apartment emptied out. The only thing remaining was a burned-out neon clock that had stopped working. This same clock was in my real life office. Finally, I understood I was burned out, time was up, and so I walked away. Leaving with a seven-month package, I had no plan except talking to vendors, peers, and marketing executives. I had my astrology chart done and read What Color Is Your Parachute? which was a popular self-help book on finding work you love. None of it told me what would come next. Looking back, what I find interesting is that I didn’t discover my next chapter because I found the answer. My future unfolded because I gave it room to emerge. Within six months, former colleagues started calling asking for freelance help. That became a twelve-year career freelancing for big marketing agencies with brands like AT&T, Chase Bank, and Jack Daniels. The work was on my own terms, often just four days a week. My father joked with his friends that I was semi-retired because of that schedule. That’s the difference between information and wisdom. Information shows us possibilities. Wisdom helps you recognize which possibility is right for you. And the more you connect with your intuition, the more you trust yourself because of it. Midlife Wisdom Is Powerful By midlife, you have decades of experience. You’ve survived heartbreaks, celebrated successes, made mistakes, and recognized patterns. You’ve honed your intuition through living, day by day and have built trust in yourself. Yet, most women seriously underestimate how important and valuable that truly is. I worked with a 61-year-old client who had been job hunting for a year. Convinced that ageism was closing every door, her beliefs were crowding out the value of her own qualifications and experience. After the first session working on shifting those beliefs, she recognized how much she’d been doubting herself. She chose to stop focusing on what others thought of her and rely on her own earned wisdom. Seven days later she had three interviews. Within two months she landed exactly the job she wanted. It wasn’t her circumstances that changed, but her relationship to her own inner wisdom. How to Use Both AI and Your Inner Wisdom You don’t have to choose between AI and intuition. Use them based on what each one does best: Use AI to gather information Use your mind to analyze the possibilities Use your heart to understand what things mean Use your intuition for personalized guidance of the highest nature Over the next few weeks, when something comes up, consider turning inward first. You may already know your next step. But even if you tune in after you gather information, that slowing down will help you know what is for your highest good. Key Takeaways AI provides information; only you can access your inner wisdom Decision fatigue makes it tempting to outsource even deeply personal decisions Your accumulated life experience is a resource no tool can replicate Slowing down creates the space for wisdom to emerge Trusting yourself is a practice that builds over time Frequently Asked Questions – Inner Wisdom Vs. AI What is inner wisdom and how is it different from information? Inner wisdom is the personal knowing that comes from lived experience, reflection, and self-awareness. Information is external knowledge that can be quickly retrieved from sources like AI. Wisdom is earned; information is accessed. Can AI help with personal decisions? AI can help you research options, brainstorm possibilities, and organize your thinking. But it cannot tell you what feels right for your specific life, values, or soul path. That discernment comes from within. How do I access my inner wisdom? Start by slowing down. Ask yourself: What do I already know? What feels true to me? What would I do if no one else’s opinion were available? Write down what comes up. Many people find insights arrive in quiet moments — in the shower, on a walk, or during meditation. Why do women in midlife struggle to trust their own inner wisdom? Many spiritually aware women in midlife believe they need one more course, certification, or expert opinion before they can trust themselves. In reality, decades of lived experience have already built a deep well of wisdom — it simply needs to be accessed and trusted. What is the risk of relying too heavily on AI? The risk isn’t that AI will replace your intuition. The risk is that the habit of seeking instant external answers means you stop pausing long enough to hear your own inner guidance at all. The post Is There A Risk Relying On AI Vs. Your Own Intuition? appeared first on Intuitive Edge.

She had always been curious about Ouija boards.As a child, she'd avoided them completely. As an adult, curiosity finally won out. Convinced there had to be a rational explanation behind the stories, she decided to run a little experiment of her own.It seemed harmless enough.What surprised her wasn't what happened during the session itself. It was the strange feeling that followed. Then came a series of events she still struggles to explain years later.Looking back, she can't say with certainty what happened. She only knows that the experience changed her perspective completely.Some experiments answer questions.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: April 10, 2024This episode of Weird Darkness moves from a recovered alien implant in a Colorado man's forearm to the first woman ever sent to the electric chair, through the campfire legend of the licked hand, a Wife Swap family destroyed by one son's gunfire, and a breathing entity that stalked a boy from one English city to another.It opens with Tim Cullen, who dreamed on April 2nd, 1978 that he would be in a violent traffic accident, then lived it a week later on April 9th when his friend Ken Ruberg's car rolled over multiple times and left Cullen with a broken neck. Recovering in the hospital, he had a second vivid dream, this one of a UFO, and on May 30th of that year, while driving Highway 59 home from a checkup with his pregnant wife Janet, the couple watched a silent, glowing craft roughly 100 feet long hover over a pasture with two diffused lights — one yellow, one red — glowing at its rear. Cullen reported two more sightings along the same Yuma, Colorado stretch of road, one in 1980 and another in 1994 witnessed by his wife and three daughters, but the encounters faded from his mind until 1998, when he hit his thumb with a hammer and Dr. Mark Hubner at the Yuma Clinic spotted a piece of metal lodged in his forearm on the X-ray. Convinced the object was an alien implant, Cullen contacted Roger K. Leir, who surgically removed it on February 5th, 2000 in Thousand Oaks, California — a melon-seed-shaped fragment about 7 centimeters long, wrapped in a reddish-brown membrane, with a magnetic core that leapt half an inch off the table toward a magnet.From there the episode turns to March 20th, 1899, when Martha Place became the first woman executed in the electric chair at Sing Sing Prison in New York, a procedure so unfamiliar with a female prisoner that her executioners cut a slit in the black dress she had sewn herself to reach her ankles. Born Martha Garrettson in Millstone, New Jersey in 1849, she had been struck in the head by a sleigh at 23 and, her brother believed, never fully recovered. After marrying widower William Place and coming to hate her teenage stepdaughter Ida, she threw acid into the 17-year-old girl's face on February 7th, 1898, smothered her with bedding, and waited with an ax for William, whom she wounded as he stepped through the door. Governor Theodore Roosevelt refused to commute her sentence, and after the words "God help me," 1,760 volts ended her life at the age of 49.Next comes the urban legend of the licked hand, in which a girl left home alone with her German Shepherd reaches down through the night to feel a reassuring lick, only to wake and find her dog skinned in the shower and the words "Humans can lick too" scrawled on the mirror. The legend's roots reach back to an 1871 entry in The Diary of a Victorian Squire by Dearman Birchall, run through M.R. James's 1919 story "The Diary of Mr. Poynter," and surface in the film Urban Legend with its "aren't you glad you didn't turn on the lights" variant. Folklorists including Trevor Blank of SUNY Potsdam account for the tale's endurance, and its dread finds a real-world echo in Dennis Rader, the BTK strangler, who cut the phone lines at Marine Hedge's home on April 27th, 1985 and hid in her closet for hours before she returned.The episode then examines a double murder rooted in reality television, the case of the Stockdale family, who appeared on an April 23rd, 2008 episode of Wife Swap trading mothers with the easygoing Tonkovic household. Raised under a strict religious regime that banned video games, dating, and most contact with the outside world, Jacob Stockdale fatally shot his mother Kathy and his brother James in the head on June 15th, 2017 in Beach City, Ohio, then survived a self-inflicted gunshot. He pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity and tried more than once to flee the mental institution holding him, including a plan to hide behind stacks of books being carted out, but Dr. Arcangela Wood judged him sane at the time of the killings. Jacob ultimately pleaded guilty and received two consecutive 15-year terms, 30 years for the deaths of his mother and brother.The episode closes with an account written by UFO Insight's Marcus Lowth and told to him by a man he calls Steve, who first heard breathing beside his face at age three or four in 1970s Newcastle, England. The encounters escalated over the following years — an invisible finger shoving his cheek, the manifestation of a grey-haired man around 50 in an old-fashioned suit at his bedside, and a push that sent him tumbling down a full flight of stairs in daylight. When the family moved to a semi-detached house near Sheffield in Yorkshire, the presence followed, culminating one night around midnight when Steve, then eight or nine, felt invisible knees pin him to the mattress and unseen hands tighten around his throat until the grip suddenly released and the breathing drained away into the distance. It never returned, leaving unresolved whether the entity was a poltergeist drawn to a child, the lingering ghost of an old man, or something demonic that fixed on a person rather than a place.

Our Father did not call us to convince ourselves of His truth but to believe it. It is when we choose to believe it that the power of the spirit in that word produces the transformation that releases life and health.

In Romans 14, Dr. Roger L. Smith emphasizes the importance of unity among Christians regarding secondary matters of conscience, such as dietary choices or holy days. Paul instructs believers to be "fully convinced" in their own minds, ensuring their actions are rooted in personal biblical conviction rather than arbitrary preference or mere imitation of others. While believers may reach different conclusions, they must avoid judging one another, as every individual ultimately serves and answers to God. Christians are reminded that their lives belong entirely to Christ, who is the ultimate authority and judge. By focusing on honoring God and maintaining a biblically informed conscience, believers can avoid destructive division and prioritize their shared devotion to the Lord.

Todd Caponi is the author of The Transparency Sale, The Transparency Sales Leader, and The Four Levers of Negotiating. He advises revenue teams on decision science, transparency, and how buyers actually make decisions. In this episode, Todd challenges one of the biggest assumptions in business: that more information leads to better decisions.

Learn why buyers seek out negatives before positives and how transparency can increase trust, shorten sales cycles, and improve win rates. Master the shift from persuasion to prediction so buyers feel confident moving forward instead of getting stuck in analysis paralysis.   "We don't buy when we're convinced. We buy when we can predict." — Todd Caponi   Topics Covered: 01:03 – Why Negotiating Pricing Feels So Unnatural.

A debate on incentives, trust, and whether transparency actually benefits individual salespeople. 15:11 – Do Buyers Make Emotional or Logical Decisions? Todd explains why feelings often drive decisions before logic enters the picture. 20:24 – Why B2B Buyers Still Behave Like Consumers. Buying committees, RFPs, and the hidden emotional biases behind supposedly rational decisions. 25:14 – Buyers Don't Buy Products—They Buy Predicted Futures. Mark introduces a powerful framework for understanding how buying decisions really happen. 31:42 – More Information Doesn't Help Buyers—It Makes Decisions Harder. From mail-order catalogs to AI, Todd explains why information overload increases decision friction. 32:35 – The Case for Radical Pricing Transparency. Todd's practical framework for pricing conversations built around volume, commitment, cash flow, and predictability.   Key Takeaways: "Transparency is without asking, I'm going to tell you the truth." — Todd Caponi "The long game wins the long game—but it wins the short game too." — Todd Caponi "More information has never made buying easier. It's always made it harder." — Todd Caponi "True salesmanship is the science of service." — Todd Caponi (quoting Arthur Sheldon)   People & Resources Mentioned: Arthur Sheldon - Early sales philosopher and author of The Art of Selling (1911), whose principle that "true salesmanship is the science of service" remains relevant today.

Andy and Randy talk about some of the odd comments from the SEC Spring Meetings and the results of the Western Conference Finals Game 5 and why the Hawks should take a long look at one Thunder impending free agent.

In this episode of Eyewitness History, I speak with Daryl Davis, an American R&B and blues musician, author, and race-relations activist whose life has uniquely bridged the worlds of music and social change. Davis is widely known for an unconventional and controversial approach to combating racism: engaging directly with members of the Ku Klux Klan and other white supremacist groups through sustained personal dialogue. Over decades of outreach, he has persuaded dozens of Klansmen to renounce their affiliation, and he has documented these encounters in his book Klan-Destine Relationships: A Black Man’s Odyssey in the Ku Klux Klan as well as in the documentary Accidental Courtesy: Daryl Davis, Race & America (2016). Before his activism gained national attention, Davis established himself as a respected professional musician. A gifted boogie-woogie and blues pianist and vocalist, he studied at Howard University and went on to perform with some of the most iconic figures in American music, including Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, B.B. King, Muddy Waters, and Bo Diddley. His playing style reflects deep roots in traditional blues and early rock-and-roll piano, and he has been recognized within the Washington-area and national blues community for both his technical skill and stage presence. His work is grounded in a belief in communication as a tool for dismantling prejudice, summed up in his view that dialogue, not avoidance, is the most effective response to ignorance and hate. Here, Davis reflects on his unusual journey, the philosophy behind his outreach to the Klan, and the ways music, conversation, and personal encounter have shaped his understanding of human change.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Paul Robson was an upstanding Christian leader in a Bible-believing church when his friend upended his world by revealing that he no longer believed the Trinity was biblically true. Although Robson initially reacted negatively to such a departure from the norm, he eventually came to change his mind based on a thorough study of Scripture. What happened next was both tragic and all too common–he was asked the church where he was serving. Having left he is developing websites about doctrine and now has new Bible study app that can help you spot bias in translation.   Listen on Spotify   Listen on Apple Podcasts —— Links —— Support Restitutio by donating here Join our Facebook group, follow on X @RestitutioSF or Instagram @Sean.P.Finnegan or Threads @sean.p.finnegan Leave a 90 second voice message via SpeakPipe with questions or comments and we may play it out on the air Who is Sean Finnegan?  Read his bio here Get Finnegan’s book, Kingdom Journey to learn about God’s kingdom coming on earth as well as the story of how Christianity lost this pearl of great price.

Have you ever been in a storm so fierce, so relentless, so overwhelming that it began to convince you? Convince you that it was not going to end. Convince you that God was not listening. Convince you that this time — there was no way out. I want you to stop right now and receive this truth — because God has never once moved on anyone's behalf BEFORE the storm reached its worst. He always moves at the moment the storm says it has won.Think about the disciples in Mark chapter 4. The waves were beating into the ship. The ship was filling with water. Every natural sign said they were going to die. And at that exact moment — when the storm had convinced them it was over — Jesus arose and said three words that stopped everything."And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm." — Mark 4:39 (KJV)Let these words resonate within your heart today. Jesus did not speak BEFORE the storm peaked. He spoke when the storm had everyone convinced. Take comfort in this — the storm that has been working hardest to convince you that God has forgotten you is the very storm that is about to hear His voice. He is not late. He is not absent. He is waiting for the moment of maximum impossibility — because that is when His glory is most undeniable."I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills — from whence cometh my help? My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth." — Psalm 121:1-2 (KJV)Understand this — David wrote Psalm 121 from the middle of his storm. Not after it ended. IN it. And he lifted his eyes — not because the storm was over, but because he knew Who was watching. The same God who made heaven and earth is watching over YOUR storm right now. He sees every wave. He hears every wind. And at exactly the right moment — He will arise and speak. And when He speaks, your storm will have no choice but to obey.May this teaching fill your heart with peace and remind you that God always moves at the moment the storm says it has won. Remember — it is only when we lift our eyes in the middle of the storm that we discover God was already moving on our behalf. Thank you for joining me today.

In 1976, Merck's CEO told Fortune magazine his dream was to make drugs for healthy people and sell them to everyone. Fifty years later, that dream is the air we breathe.In this solo episode, Dr. Roger McFillin traces how a generation was taught that being human is a disease. He walks through the 1994 inflection point, the Zoloft commercial that rewrote a culture, the academics and journals and sales reps who built the influence machine, and the school-to-pediatrician-to-customer-for-life pipeline that captured childhood itself.He reflects on the recent HHS mental health summit, what it gets right, and what the bureaucrats are still unwilling to say out loud. He names what was lost in the trade. The wisdom passed down through generations. The understanding that emotions are a guidance system, not a malfunction.The mental health industrial complex is not a healthcare system. It's a control system. The drugs are weapons. The diagnoses are chains.This is how you walk out of the cage.
