For years, Hollywood executive Chris Fenton helped American studios chase the Chinese market — inserting pro-Beijing messaging into films, moving production offshore, and teaching China's own industry how to compete. Now he regrets it. Fenton joins Newt to explain how 60% of American film and TV production has moved overseas, costing Los Angeles alone more than 40,000 jobs, and why the US is the only major film-producing nation without a federal production incentive. His answer: Bad Counselors, a 100% American-made comedy — American cast, crew, and financing — shot in North Carolina, Tennessee, and California, hitting theaters nationwide July 22nd. Fenton also makes the economic case for a national film production incentive backed by a bipartisan congressional coalition, arguing that a simple 10% federal rebate could cut offshore production nearly in half and restore Hollywood's American identity.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Michael interviews new exhibitor Dr. Jeffrey M. Kelly, a full-time biblical counselor and former church planter, and David Driskill, a veteran software developer and Care Assist Pro's CTO, about their platform (careassist-pro.com). They explain that Care Assist Pro was built to address the shortage of soul care in local churches by reducing counseling roadblocks and increasing counselor confidence through secure, HIPAA-compliant tools such as note organization, encrypted communication, built-in video conferencing with transcripts, summaries, and AI-driven feedback on counseling skills over time. They emphasize AI is never the counselor but a tool with biblical guardrails, using a curated RAG knowledge base of about 800 documents (e.g., ACBC, CCF, ABC, Counseling Coalition) and features like notebooks, multilingual outputs, and training “personas” for seminary practicums and skill development.00:00 Conference Introduction01:02 Meet the Guests01:16 Dr Kelly Background01:48 David Driskill Tech Story03:09 How Care Assist Began05:49 Redemptive Use of AI08:31 AI Training Practicum11:19 Notebooks Language Features15:30 Guardrails Not Replacement19:58 Counselor Growth Analytics23:57 Who Its For Pricing26:50 Final Encouragement WrapEpisode MentionsCheck out Care Assist Pro 

Something goes wrong in bed and gay men immediately blame desire, performance, or themselves. Sex educator and trauma specialist Fran Frye says they're diagnosing the wrong problem. The real issue is the nervous system — and most men have no idea it's running the show. Rick and Fran dig into the five nervous system responses that hijack sexual experiences, why porn is an idea not a manual, and how shame quietly replaces honest communication for gay men over 40. This is not a conversation about dysfunction. It's about finally understanding what your body has been trying to tell you. Key Takeaways: Why "erectile difficulties" are almost always psychological, not physicalHow fight, flight, freeze, fawn, and fuck responses show up during sexThe difference between consent and compliance, and why it mattersWhy gay men struggle more than most with saying noWhat emotional literacy actually looks like in an intimate encounterHow to pause high arousal states before they run the show About Fran Fran Frye works at the intersection of sexuality, trauma, and compassion, with a particular focus on supporting men as they unpack their sexuality within a patriarchal culture that often labels them as dangerous, defective, or emotionally closed off. She helps dismantle these narratives through curiosity, empathy and practical tools that foster healthier relationships with the body, partners and self. A certified Sex Educator, Counselor, and Clinician trained in compulsive sexual behaviors, Fran is also a somatic sex practitioner. Her work spans sexual shame, trauma, grief, relationship rupture and body disconnection, grounded in both professional training and lived experience as a sexual assault survivor, former military spouse, and athlete. Beyond her professional work, Fran is deeply committed to service. Over the years she has volunteered in several areas of crisis and community support, including suicide prevention, rape victim's advocacy, human trafficking prevention, and serving as a rape crisis hotline operator. She has also contributed to efforts addressing food scarcity, sits with hospice patients in their final chapters, and supports Veterans and their families. These experiences have brought her into close contact with trauma, grief, courage, and resilience - insights she carries directly into the compassionate, grounded way she supports others.

  Meg and Carrie are back for a fired-up part two on the topic that got them riled up last episode: compulsive lying.   In this candid Got HER Back Monday conversation, the hosts break down the difference between harmless white lies and the dangerous, manipulative kind: the pathological liars who are so charming and "godly" on the surface that no one questions them, until you've already lived a lie for years. They dig into where compulsive lying comes from (learned behavior, childhood chaos, or genetics), the real-world stakes of lying in a court of law, and the red flags to watch for in dating, from secret double lives to mysteriously replaced cell phones.   Plus, the receipts: why Carrie has never deleted a text since 2005 and what 94,000 screenshots can do for your peace of mind. If gaslighting has ever made you question your own reality, this honest, funny episode is your reminder to stand on the facts — and to leave the liars behind in 2026.   Chapters: 0:00 Cold Open: Standing on Facts 0:35 Got Her Back Monday & a Birthday Shoutout 1:30 Southern Comfort Food (and Cason's Review) 3:40 Why We Needed a Part Two on Lying 4:30 Is Compulsive Lying Learned or Genetic? 6:00 A Counselor's Take: It Starts in Childhood 7:00 Why Liars Are So Charming 8:00 White Lies vs. the Lies That Scare You 10:00 When They Double Down on the Evidence 11:00 Fact-Checking & Setting Boundaries 12:00 Lying in Court & Why You Stand on Facts 12:30 Never Delete a Text: Keeping the Receipts 13:30 Gaslighting & "Am I Crazy?" 15:30 Red Flags: Double Lives & Burner Phones 16:30 The 94,000 Screenshots 18:00 Taco Bell or Taco Bueno? 19:00 No Liars in 2026

The destination of Christianity isn't merely heaven, but profound, daily communion with the living God. Step out of an isolated faith and confront a most critical question: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit have already drawn near to you, now how will you respond? “I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in me and I in him produces much fruit, because you can do nothing without me. When the Counselor comes, the one I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father—he will testify about me. You also will testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.” - John 15:5, 26-27 If you would like to partner in the work we are doing locally and globally, please visit https://myLOH.church/GIVE

Rex Heuermann confessed privately to his own family in a room where an unlicensed therapist was sitting in. Allison Winter counseled Heuermann and his family for nearly three years inside the Suffolk County Jail, present around the time of that confession, and she's now facing eighteen felony charges for allegedly practicing without a license and billing insurance for more than sixty thousand dollars.We get into the legal weeds on this one with Eric Faddis, a former prosecutor and current defense attorney. First question: does therapist-patient privilege even apply if the therapist was never legitimately licensed to begin with? Faddis walks through why that confidentiality question might not be as simple as it sounds, and what it could mean for Heuermann if he ever wanted to challenge what came out of those sessions.Then there's the plea itself. Heuermann already pled guilty, and Faddis explains why that decision makes any appeal built around Winter's lack of licensure an uphill fight — appellate courts give far less weight to complaints raised after a guilty plea than after a trial verdict. We also break down the insurance fraud angle, why prosecutors tend to treat cases involving manipulation of real people more seriously than simple paperwork fraud, and whether Winter could be exposed to civil lawsuits from anyone connected to the case.This is one of the stranger side stories to come out of the Heuermann saga, and it raises a real question about how these institutions vet the people who get closest to their highest-profile inmates. We walk through the charges, the legal exposure, and what happens next.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Most of us don't realize how complex and unique grief really is. What shapes your pain may differ wildly from someone else's, even if you've experienced similar loss. Kelly Edmondson, founder of Timely Presence and a grief counselor, shares the powerful truth that grief is as individual as a fingerprint—and how understanding this can radically change how we support ourselves and others through heartbreak. In this heartfelt episode, Kelly takes us deep into the emotional landscape of mourning, explaining why grief doesn't follow a straight line and how life's busy moments often mask its intensity. She reveals concrete strategies for coping with loss, including building meaningful rituals, planning around difficult dates, and prioritizing silent presence over empty words. Did you know that unprocessed grief can manifest as heart disease, depression, or anxiety? Kelly shows us why ignoring pain isn't just harmful—it's a public health issue that demands communal attention. Kelly shares her framework of the “three Rs”: regulate your response, respond with intention, and remain present—guidelines that help keep the love alive long after the funeral. This episode is perfect for anyone navigating grief or supporting someone who is, especially in cultures where death and mourning are often underaddressed. Kelly's insights—born from her personal experience after losing her son—offer comfort, clarity, and actionable steps that help turn pain into legacy. Whether you're holding onto unresolved loss or seeking ways to show up better for someone in pain, this conversation will change how you view grief—and how you walk through it. Remember: grief is not the enemy; it's the evidence of love. Kelly's mission is simple—reframe how we care for human responses to loss, ensuring no one suffers in silence. Kelly Edmondson is a registered nurse, certified grief counselor, and the founder of Timely Presence, an organization dedicated to supporting individuals through their most vulnerable moments after loss.

Rob and Michele Reiner spent nearly two decades trying to save their son Nick. They sent him to treatment seventeen times. They let him live close to them. They even made a film together about his struggles. And at one point, when professionals warned them that Nick was lying and manipulating them, they pushed back on that advice — publicly siding with their son over the experts.That choice sits at the center of this story. Now Rob and Michele are dead, allegedly killed by Nick the night after a Christmas party they'd brought him to just to keep him in sight. This look back examines where the case stood at the time of our reporting — but the real subject is the machinery underneath it: how addiction reshapes an entire family, and how the people who love someone most can become the most exposed.This isn't about demonizing anyone caught in addiction. It's about how love without limits can be turned into a weapon, how boundaries get mistaken for abandonment, and how families convince themselves that staying is the only option right up until it costs them everything. The Reiners had every resource imaginable — money, connections, the best programs in the country. None of it was enough, because no amount of money forces an adult to get well, and no amount of love overrides someone determined to destroy themselves and the people around them.#RobReiner #NickReiner #MicheleReiner #TrueCrime #Addiction #FamilyTragedy #Manipulation #Enabling #MentalHealth #HiddenKillers

Lina thought she'd married her perfect match, but everything fell apart on their wedding night.  What had felt effortless and passionate before marriage suddenly became a source of constant disappointment and pain. Lina was navigating new motherhood, postpartum OCD, painful struggles with physical intimacy, and the demands of running a business while her husband criticized her in front of the nanny.  Three marriage counselors couldn't break the painful cycle, and one day she reached her breaking point and screamed so loud, even the neighbors could hear her misery. A desperate late night search led her to a book, and it became a turning point. Today the passion she thought was gone is back and better than before. Her husband is warm, present, and deeply involved in her life. The man who once told her he regretted marrying her now makes sure Lina feels safe, secure, and reassured. If you can relate to Lina, her story may strike some inspiration. Download the FREE Adored Wife Roadmap now and start transforming your relationship today! Click here: https://lauradoyle.co/4vuk8wT

Michael interviews biblical counselor Shannon McCoy, who shares her current counseling season in South Carolina and her new role hosting shepherdpresspodcast.com. They discuss her emotions-track session on recognizing bitterness, defined as settled resentment formed when pain is rehearsed and judgment is retained rather than entrusted to God, drawing from Hebrews 12:15, Deuteronomy 29:18, James 3:14–15, and Acts 8:23. McCoy outlines a progression from pain to interpretation, judgment, and resentment, noting bitterness is often camouflaged as irritability and can defile individuals and communities. They emphasize a missing step between bitterness and forgiveness: lament, which includes honest complaint to God, repentance, and surrendering justice to Him, leading to peace, joy, and fruit-of-the-Spirit living even amid unresolved conflict.00:00 Conference Welcome00:58 Meet Shannon McCoy01:22 New Season in Ministry01:49 Podcast Hosting Adventures02:54 Emotions Track Highlights04:04 Why Bitterness Matters04:48 Defining Bitterness Biblically05:42 Calling Out Bitterness07:05 From Bitterness to Forgiveness08:10 Lament and Repentance11:16 Bitterness Toward God13:02 Surrendering Justice to God13:32 Joy Versus Bitterness14:29 Roots of Bitterness15:32 Pain to Resentment Cycle17:13 Family Estrangement Example18:50 Bitterness Defiles the Heart20:58 When Bitterness Turns Toxic24:39 Flesh Versus Spirit Choice26:34 Wrap Up and Next StepsEpisode MentionsShepherd Press Podcast W/Shannon

What goes on at the neurobiological level that makes someone more vulnerable to self-injure or self-harm? What biological risk factors are at play? What roles do the vagus nerve, cortisol levels, and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis have?

The Counselor lays out 4 players you must draft for this season. These guys are on all his rosters, and you should consider them, too! 

Wednesday Hour 4 This episode of the podcast is a wild ride, full of laughter, tears, and self-discovery. The host, along with his co-hosts Ryan Holmes and Ambernova, welcomes a special guest, Amy the Counselor, to help them dive into their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. But what starts as a lighthearted conversation about relationships and friendships quickly turns into a deep exploration of the host's past, including his complicated history with his ex-partner Savannah and his current relationship with his wife Mary Ellen. As the conversation unfolds, the host opens up about his struggles with control and his tendency to try to "win over" people, including his coaches and loved ones. He shares stories about his childhood, his time in the wrestling world, and his experiences in the radio industry. The conversation is raw, honest, and sometimes cringe-worthy, but it's also a testament to the host's growth and willingness to confront his flaws. One of the most striking aspects of this episode is the host's discussion of his song "There's Been Worse Country Songs," which he wrote and recorded as a way to prove to himself that he could do something he'd always wanted to try. The song is a reflection of his insecurities and his desire to overcome them, and it's a powerful example of the host's creativity and determination. If you're looking for a podcast that's real, raw, and relatable, this episode is a must-listen. Join the conversation and get to know the host and his co-hosts on a deeper level. Listen to the full episode to hear more about their thoughts on relationships, growth, and the importance of being true to oneself.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

WEDNESDAY HOUR 3 In this episode of the Mantras in the Morning, we're treated to a unique and insightful conversation between the hosts and a special guest, Amy the Counselor. But what makes this episode truly special is that Amy is not just a guest, she's a licensed mental health counselor who uses her expertise to analyze the hosts' stand-up comedy and provide a psychological evaluation. This time around, she's tackling the host's own music, specifically his album, with surprising and thought-provoking results. The conversation is a fascinating exploration of the host's psyche, delving into his motivations, desires, and fears. Amy's analysis reveals a complex web of emotions and experiences that shape the host's creative output. From the pressure to succeed and the fear of being mediocre to the impact of his childhood and relationships on his adult life, this episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in psychology, comedy, or just human nature. One of the most striking aspects of this episode is the way Amy's analysis highlights the host's deep-seated need for validation and recognition. His drive to succeed is not just about personal achievement, but also about making his loved ones proud. This conversation is a powerful reminder that our actions are often motivated by a desire to please others, even when we think we're doing it for ourselves. If you're curious about the inner workings of the human mind or just want to hear a unique and engaging conversation, tune in to this episode of the Mantras in the Morning. With Amy's insightful analysis and the hosts' candid discussion, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of the human experience.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On paper, this was the marriage other people would tell you to end and not feel bad about it.He didn't walk away.Not because he was naive. Not because he excused anything. Because he still loved his wife, and he could not live with never having tried.In this conversation, Scott takes me back to 2019, the year his marriage came apart, and walks me through how it came all the way back.He found out at 4 in the morning. The phone going off. His wife not in the bed. The search he ran to figure out who was texting her is the thing that led him to Marriage Helper.What he learned there changed how he showed up.He stopped reacting. He stopped trying to control her. He stayed calm in the exact moments most people detonate. By the time his daughter pulled him aside and asked if he knew, he was already further into his own healing than anyone around him realized.Here is the part people argue with me about."You're letting the cheater off the hook." "Once a cheater, always a cheater." We see it in the comments every week. Scott answers it head on. He never permitted anything. He was powerless to control someone else's choices. Accepting what you cannot control is not the same as excusing it.For a year, they were divorced in every way but the judge's signature. She moved states away. The settlement was nearly done.Then she came home. One year to the day after the workshop they attended together.Today their marriage is stronger than it was in the first 24 years. Scott coaches on our team now. His wife leads breakout groups at our workshops.If your marriage is the one everyone says can't be saved, this is the story to sit with.If you're struggling in your marriage, don't wait.

Here’s a throwback episode with a Counselor in First Presidency of the Remnant Church. Jim Vun Cannon was serving as a counselor in the First Presidency of the Remnant Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints at the time of this 2017 recording. https://youtu.be/PT0dH-KGfKc Don't miss our other conversations on the Remnant Church: https://gospeltangents.com/denominations/remnant-church/ Copyright © 2026 Gospel Tangents All Rights Reserved Remnant Church If you aren’t familiar with this branch of the restoration, the Remnant Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints was formed around the year 2000 by former members of the RLDS Church (now Community of Christ). These members were sifting through the ashes of what felt like a “civil war” following controversial doctrinal shifts, specifically the pivotal 1984 revelation that allowed women to hold the priesthood. In this comprehensive interview, we cover a lot of ground. We discuss Jim’s fascinating journey of joining the Remnant Church in 2012 and being called to the First Presidency just five years later. We also dive deep into the church’s unique theology, including their ongoing efforts to literally build the city of Zion in Jackson County, Missouri, how they interpret the Law of Consecration and the Order of Enoch today, and their strict belief that Joseph Smith was a monogamist. We also tackle tough questions surrounding DNA and the Book of Mormon and why they believe women will never hold the priesthood. Now, I want to point out an important update to our viewer. Jim Vun Cannon is no longer in the First Presidency of the Remnant Church. Since this recording, he actually broke off to form a new group called the Everlasting Church of Jesus Christ in the Latter-day & is the president of that church. Keep that fascinating update in mind as you listen to his perspectives from his time in the Remnant Church leadership. Let’s dive into the full interview!
