1. U.S. Government & Political Context The podcast opens with a brief discussion of the government shutdown that ended quickly, and is evidence of political posturing rather than substantive conflict. The transition sets the stage for broader national security concerns rather than domestic legislative issues. 2. Emergence of the Polisario Front as a National Security Threat The Polisario Front, a separatist group in Western Sahara founded in 1973, is presented as an underrecognized but growing terrorist threat. Iran is funding, training, and supplying the group, attempting to turn it into a West African proxy similar to the Houthis. Alleged activities include: Collaboration with Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Hezbollah Use of drones, weapons transfers, and regional destabilization Labeling the group as a terrorist organization is essential, this represents a dangerous blind spot in U.S. counterterrorism policy. 3. Accusation of Institutional Caution and “Deep State” Resistance State Department officials are portrayed as intentionally evasive during Senate testimony. The analysis claims this reluctance stems from: Ongoing diplomatic efforts in Africa Desire to avoid disrupting negotiations involving Morocco and Algeria 4. Iran at a “Tipping Point” Iran has become internally fragile, facing: Widespread protests Mass casualties allegedly ranging from 10,000–40,000 protesters The Iranian regime’s actions (e.g., drones near U.S. naval assets, attempted tanker seizures) are interpreted as provocations meant to rally domestic support and distract from internal collapse.: Negotiations with Iran are a delaying tactic The U.S. should support Iranian protesters directly, including by providing weapons Regime change is framed as: Preferable if carried out by Iranians themselves Potentially the largest positive national security shift since the Cold War if successful. 5. Global Domino Effect Narrative Iran is grouped with Venezuela and Cuba as regimes allegedly near collapse. Simultaneous democratic transitions in all three would represent a historic geopolitical realignment in favor of U.S. interests. 6. Netflix–Warner Bros. Merger & National Security Concerns The proposed $83 billion Netflix–Warner Bros. merger is criticized on two main grounds: Cultural and ideological influence The entertainment industry is portrayed as overwhelmingly left‑leaning and hostile to conservative or pro‑American perspectives. Concern that increased market power could amplify ideological “propaganda.” Foreign influence Alarm over foreign (especially Middle Eastern and Chinese) capital shaping American entertainment content. Content has been altered or censored to appease foreign governments. The merger is not merely an antitrust issue but as a matter of national sovereignty and cultural security.

Too often, we focus on treating symptoms without fully understanding the systems underneath them—or the conditions that allow the body to function well in the first place. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Fidji Simo, CEO of Applications at OpenAI, to explore how AI could help us shift medicine from treating symptoms to restoring systems. We talk about why chronic illness is so often misunderstood, how health data has been fragmented across silos, and what becomes possible when we finally see the full picture. Watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why having a diagnosis doesn't always explain what's actually driving your symptoms • How connecting your labs, lifestyle data, and health history can reveal patterns you might otherwise miss • What it looks like to move from reactive care to proactive, personalized health • How better context can help you make clearer decisions about food, sleep, movement, and recovery Health isn't built in a doctor's office. When you create the right environment, the body often knows what to do—and understanding your own biology is one of the most powerful steps you can take toward creating health, not just reacting to disease.

Ever wonder why no becomes your child's default response? It's rarely defiance—often, it's their nervous system seeking safety. In this episode, Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, expert in Regulation First Parenting™, explains how to understand and respond to these stress signals with calm, confidence, and clarity. Feeling like every request to your child is met with an automatic “No”? You're not alone. Many parents feel like they're raising a defiant child, but often, what you're seeing is a nervous system protecting itself—not a power struggle.In this episode, I break down why “No” becomes your child's default response and how you can respond with calm, strategy, and empathy.Why does my child say no to everything, even the things they like?For many kids, “No” is a self-protective shield, not rebellion. When a child's brain senses pressure, unpredictability, or tasks that feel overwhelming, it reacts with an automatic refusal. Many default parents—often the parent who is primarily responsible for daily child-related tasks—feel the weight of this automatically, sometimes experiencing default parent resentment toward the other parent, especially if one is a stay-at-home parent and the other parent works full-time.Cultural gender norms can also shape who ends up carrying more of the emotional labor, adding to stress and fatigue.Demand sensitivity triggers immediate “No” responses, especially in children with anxiety, ADHD, or trauma histories.Low autonomy makes children feel powerless, so saying “No” restores a sense of control.Cognitive overload and unclear tasks lead to avoidance, not defiance.Parent example: Matthew shared that his daughter refused brushing teeth, getting dressed, and even dessert. By slowing down commands and giving small choices—like “Do you want socks first or shoes first?”—her nervous system felt safe, and the automatic “No” faded.How can I stop taking “No” personally as a parent?It's easy for default parents or primary caregivers to feel attacked. Remember: it's not disrespect—it's the brain signaling stress. Many parents, especially many moms, notice they carry the bulk of the daily emotional labor and often need more support from their co-parent or family network.Regulate first: Your calm tone, posture, and pacing invite cooperation.Reduce pressure: Less rushing, fewer demands, smaller instructions.Offer mini control: Simple choices like “Do homework before or after snack?” help buffer the “No.”When your child is dysregulated, it's easy to feel helpless.The Regulation Rescue Kit gives you scripts and strategies to stay grounded and in control.Become a Dysregulation Insider VIP at www.drroseann.com/newsletter and get your free kit...

Love, sweetness, and deep cultural symbolism take center stage in this Valentine's season episode of The Modern Persian Food Podcast.

Before NFTs were a category and crypto was an industry, two artists released 10,000 characters into the world with no roadmap, no pitch, and no expectations. What started as an art experiment in code ended up flourishing into a movement about ownership and identity. In this episode of Possible, Reid sits down with Matt Hall and John Watkinson, co-founders of Larva Labs and creators of CryptoPunks, to trace how a small creative experiment became one of the most influential cultural phenomenons of the internet era. They reflect on what it means for art to live on-chain, why decentralization was a design choice rather than a slogan, and how digital identity became one of the most valuable real estates online. From museums and blockchains to profile pictures, permanence, the conversation explores how letting go of narrative control can allow culture and community to write the story themselves.

How Babylon Uses Entertainment and Consumerism to Control the Church | KIB 516 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description In Kingdom Intelligence Briefing (Episode 516), Dr. Michael Lake and Mary Lou Lake deliver a sobering warning: Mystery Babylon doesn't just attack the Church—she seduces it. From "data-mined prophecy" and counterfeit spiritual authority to the modern mega-church model that mimics Rome's bread-and-circuses, this episode exposes how entertainment and consumerism anesthetize discernment, replace repentance with spectacle, and retrain believers to ask "What do I want?" instead of "What does God require?" You'll hear why Babylon's most effective control isn't always political force—but dopamine-driven distraction: screens, constant stimulation, comfort, and a culture that rebrands evil while keeping God's people spiritually sleepy. The call is urgent: wake up, return to biblical depth, restore authentic worship, and come out of Babylon.

I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Lesley Logan 0:50  Hello, Be It babe. How are you? Oh my gosh. Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It Podcast. You know, normally we do interviews on Tuesdays and recaps on Thursdays and FYFs on Fridays, and everyone's well, I just want to do like a topic, because we've had some amazing guests on it, and I want to revisit that with you, right? I think it'd be a lot of fun. So in doing that, I want us to discuss burnout. We've have a self-love series, we have a habit series. And you know, something that I get a lot from the women that listen this podcast and we work with is just like, the difficulty in preventing burnout, and also, just like, are they ever not burned out and all that good stuff? Because in being it until you see it, it's really easy for y'all to be just overachievers at it, and just like, go harder than one needs to, right? And so I want to just give us. I want us to be on. I want us to have the tools to be it until we see it. And that means understanding burnout and how to prevent it. So this episode will be, what is burnout, so we can be really clear about what it is. I think it's important to be able to name something versus like, what's depression, what's overwhelm, things like that. And then also the second episode, beyond like preventions, like things you can actually do, because you guys are action takers, and I love that so much. Lesley Logan 2:05  So what is burnout? Why do we have burnout? What does it look like? That's what this episode is. If you're like Lesley, I've got it. Well, you can wait till Thursday. But just in case, you know, I think it's important to go over this. And I saw this quote, yeah, as I was preparing for this episode, and it said from the Mad Hatter, and it said, you've lost your muchness. You used to be much, muchier. And I think that, like that can be a sign of burnout, if you, like, lost your muchness, right? But get this the World Health Organization (WHO), actually has defined what burnout is. And so I think that's great. I think, like, let's go with the science. The burnout is a syndrome tied to unsuccessfully managed workplace stress. Like, obviously it can be personal stuff too, so well. But like, WHO is doing this from this part. So it's made up of three parts, exhaustion, feeling distant or cynical towards your job and reduced performance at work. Dr. Ashley, who has since become an expert on this topic, and is a self-proclaimed burnout doctor, she said, I think you can get burnout from any chronic stress situation. So I think that that is helpful, because, like, the simpler sentence, what WHO was trying to say, is any chronic stress situation that can provide burnout. And this is interesting you guys, because it's so easy for us to love what we're doing, but create chronic, chronic stress around it, and so then we burn out from the thing we love doing. And we'll talk about why that happens. So burnout is serious. In severe cases, it can cause premature aging of the brain. This is, this is insanity to me, because, like, oh my God, we cannot let our brains age sooner than they need to, and if you're under 45 your chance of dying from all causes goes up. I mean, let that just sink in, and it's indicated by a study they did a scientific journal, PLO S1, Dr. Ashley estimates it can take one to three years to recover from burnout. You know, as a kid, I remember like, my mom had a job that, like, was really stressful for her, and she slept the whole summer. And I remember my dad having to, like, leave work on stress leave like these it can take one to three years recover, and I do believe it did for both of them. So it's really, really important that we don't just go, oh, this is the busy season I'm in, you know, and dismiss it like we should be stronger and we shouldn't be feeling this way. Lesley Logan 4:25  Why is burnout happening more often? So, increase caregiver and emotional labor. So obviously, this episode, this podcast, is really designed for women. We have few good men who listen. Thank you so much. And it is so we've mostly women listeners. So I'm just going to talk about the women's aspect of burnout. So women often carry the mental load for their households. And this is so true. I see it in a lot of my friends who are moms, you know, like they remember everything. They're coordinating the childcare, they're managing family needs and often caring for aging parents. They also frequently are expected to manage the emotions of those around them at both at work and at home. Home, which is why, like it's possible to have a stressful job, but then if your home life is also demanding of you, then it like you don't have a refuge, right? And so that can be really, really difficult. Cultural expectations, the style norms, can pressure women to be nurturers, always available and have to have it all, creating unrealistic standards and feelings of inadequacy when these expectations aren't met. And this is also something that I've seen because, to be honest, I have a I have some friends, I've like, friends in air quotes that I've known from groups that we have been in, and I'm watching their posts on Instagram, and they're just like, so beautiful all the time, so put together. Even when they're like, I'm not put together, they're so put together. Like, their background is so beautiful, their house is so well decorated, and they're showing like, oh, I can be this, like, person who, like, makes sourdough, and I also am a badass in the workplace. That's amazing. That's wonderful. I hope they're so happy, but also, like, it can set up an expectation that we should all be feeling the same way as them, in the same place of our life. And like, that's just not the case, right? We don't all have the same 24 hours in a day. So the always on culture, a sense of constant responsibility, combined with social media pressure to maintain a perfect image contributes to a feeling of being always on and unable to truly rest. Lesley Logan 6:13  This is something I have really had to grapple with in the last five years, because a lot of the work that I do is on camera, you know? And I always was like, Oh, my God, maybe I have to, like, I have to, like, get ready. I have to do my makeup. I didn't even finish it today. If you're watching this on the YouTube channel, like, I, like, I started this recording, like, oh, we have no mascara on. Like, I got really good at going, you know what? I have to put out this content. I have to do all this stuff for the work that we do, that I that I that I created because I love this podcast, I love the memberships that I have, but I cannot also expect myself to be, in air quotes, on all the time. And so first of all, since day one, I've always just been myself online. I don't really know how to be anything else. And two, that means I don't match I don't always have my hair done, I don't always have these things. And so by just being myself, it has really helped me overcome the Always On pressures that can be out there. But if you are feeling that like that is a real pressure that is out there. And I understand that, and I it's difficult, but I hope that you can truly allow yourself to be yourself and everywhere you are and and you're allowed to have feelings and things like that. But if your workplace doesn't allow that, if, if the standards you set for yourself don't allow for that, if the people in your life don't allow for that, that can that means that you're always on, and that can be a pressure that's causing burnout in your life. Lesley Logan 7:26  So there are also some workplace factors that I think are really important to go over. Obviously, some of you who are listening don't have the opportunity to control the workplace. Some of you have created your own workplace. And so if any of these factors are in your workplace you created, we definitely want to, you know, unravel that if you have these factors in the workplace that you are in, then I definitely think it's worth going okay, at least I can pinpoint part of where this burnout is coming from. So inequitable workloads, women may face additional work outside of their formal roles, such as supporting colleagues, and have less flexibility in their jobs. We had an FYF of a few weeks back where I actually discussed, like, how men are given workplace reviews and women are given workplace reviews, and it's really annoying, because women's workplace reviews are often on, like, their personality versus like, the actual job that they did. So this is this can create chronic stress in the situation at your work. Couple that with like, what you've got going on at home, and you have a recipe for burnout, right? Gender pay and inequality. The gender wage gap and workplace discrimination creates stress, while limited career advancement opportunities and a lack of recognition for contributions exacerbate burnout. I mean, we all are aware that women are not paid the same amount as men, and then you add in race, and that is, it makes it even more of a pay gap. So if you happen to be a woman of a of color, you all you already are probably experiencing more factors towards your burnout. And so if you're feeling it like it's real, right? And I hate that for you, but I also think it's important that we don't deny that that's what's going on. And then lack of support. In professional environments, a lack of support from senior leaders and gender biases can make burnout more likely in this, yeah, lack of support in general, in life, can create burnout like it's so I have ADHD, so it's not easy for me to ask for help. I have to like practice. And the reality is is like, we all need it. We all need help. No one is supposed to do life alone. Lesley Logan 9:18  And then I just want to add this from Psychology Today, because in my research for this, I found a couple things that made me think of you. So y'all are high achievers. There's nothing wrong being a high achiever, right? Overachieving is exhausting. High achieving, nothing wrong with it, but high achieving women are at a greater risk of burnout and identity erosion due to chronic self-neglect. And you know, on this podcast, we talk a lot about prioritizing yourself first, so that that could be something that is actually causing the burnout. You could love what you do. You could love the family you have, but if you're and you probably do, but if you are lacking that prioritization of self and neglecting you, then you're going to, even with all the things you love, create burnout experience and then burnout why it's so, so important to pay attention to is that burnout can lead to anxiety, depression and a loss of personal meaning, connection. That's a big deal. It's a big deal. Not only are you not able to even have anything to be it till you see, but it can cause you to have missed experiences and relationships that that you probably care so much about, partners, family members, children, things like that. So it's really, really important that we address burnout and that we discuss, like, what it looks like, so that we can prevent it, and we'll talk about that in the next episode. Lesley Logan 10:28  But some common signs, just in case you're like, okay, I don't have it. So signs of burnout in women may include chronic fatigue, decreased motivation, feelings of inefficiency, increased irritability, disrupted sleep patterns, withdraw from social activities. So obviously these things can also look like perimenopause. They can look like depression. But you know, we had, we had somebody on the pod who is like, I'm not depressed, right? Not depressed, but I'm not fulfilled. So it, I think that it's important to be like, wow, if I know I'm not depressed, if I don't feel that way, but I have increased irritability, and I'm withdrawing from social activities. You know, if I'm decreasing motivation, I'm usually a very motivated person, there's something going on. And instead of thinking there's something wrong with you, we can look around what's going on in my world that is causing these things that are not normal for me. So with all that, you know, I definitely have had burnout in my life, you know, like we talk not much in recent past, because I'm because I've gotten so good at spotting what it looks like in my body and in my life and how I'm reacting to things. But I remember back in probably right before our wedding, I was, it was my day off, and I was driving to the mall to go buy something for myself. I were going to a party. I was like, I'm gonna go buy this thing. Like, it should be so exciting. It should be so fun. And I saw an email pop up, you know, those like little notifications on this email pop up, and it just sent me into having a total anxiety. I don't have anxiety, sent me to total anxiety attack. I had to pull over, had to call Brad, you know. And what we discovered is that, like, you just sit down and like, actually look at what's going on. And my workplace experience was just so stressful, even though I loved what I did, I love the people I worked with. I love teaching. I love being a teacher. I loved all of it, but the truth is, is that the people around me were creating a chronic stress experience. And so we got really clear on the numbers that I needed to make in my personal business, and we made a plan, and I worked that plan, and I was able to get out of that job, and I was able to notice, oh, oh, here are the things I am creating chronic stress in my own situation that I created myself. And so you're not going to be perfect at stopping before burnout, but if you can notice what it feels like in your body and how it how it is presenting itself, it makes it easier. Lesley Logan 12:54  So I'm gonna wrap up the episode here, because I know you're really busy, and I don't want this podcast to be part of the chronic stress that you have in your life. So thank you so much for listening to this series, all the series. If you are enjoying the series we're doing, I would love to know the topic you want us to like, do a little more research on, have a little more talk about it. Or if there's guests that you want to like us to have on the pod, you can definitely send those in. Mean the world to me if you leave a review and share this with a friend who needs to hear it, maybe you have a friend who's like, exhibiting all these signs, and it would just be helpful for them to be like, oh, nothing wrong with me. I'm just in a really crappy situation that is causing this kind of feeling and behavior in my body, in my life, and I there's that means we, once we know that, once we're aware, that we can make changes. We can't make changes if we're not aware, right? So thank you so much. And until next time, Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 13:40  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

Would you say that love is your default setting? For most of us, it’s a struggle to react to this world lovingly. But as we draw nearer to God and depend more on the Holy Spirit to lead and guide us, we will be able to set aside impatience, anger, and frustration and instead draw from God’s never-ending love.(00:00) New believers have zeal and the church matures together(03:19) Why grace produces freedom and legalism produces rules(06:38) Christian freedom is not permission to premeditate sin(09:33) Cultural differences expose our insecurity and need for love(13:32) The church’s diversity shows what Christ’s love can do(20:05) Link arms and grow up together as a true spiritual familyCONNECT WITH PASTOR JACKGet Updates via Text:  https://text.whisp.io/jack-hibbs-podcastWebsite: https://jackhibbs.com/ Instagram: http://bit.ly/2FCyXpO Facebook: https://bit.ly/2WZBWV0 YouTube:  https://bit.ly/437xMHn DAZE OF DECEPTION BOOK:https://jackhibbs.com/daze-of-deception/ Did you know we have a Real Life Network?

Tatum emphasizes the role of martial arts in personal growth, teaching, and embracing reality, while also highlighting the significance of communication in teaching martial arts effectively. In this conversation, Jeremy Lesniak and Larry Tatum delve into the intricacies of teaching martial arts, exploring the cultural significance of techniques, the ethical responsibilities of instructors, and the personal growth that comes from teaching. Tatum shares insights from his extensive experience, emphasizing the importance of understanding the emotional and ethical dimensions of martial arts. He also discusses his journey as a writer, highlighting the therapeutic aspects of reliving experiences through storytelling. The conversation culminates in a reflection on the spiritual dimensions of teaching and the profound impact it can have on both instructors and students.   TAKEAWAYS Larry Tatum has over 60 years of martial arts experience. His journey began with judo and transitioned to Kenpo at age 15. Martial arts provided him with discipline and improved his academic performance. The culture at Ed Parker's school emphasized respect and acknowledgment. Training involved sparring with older, more experienced practitioners. Martial arts teaches students to embrace reality and break down emotional walls. Teaching should focus on communication and understanding beyond physical techniques. Larry emphasizes the importance of parables in teaching martial arts. He believes that martial arts can help individuals find their place in society. Cultural significance in techniques teaches ethical behavior. The more you teach, the more you learn. Martial arts instruction requires ethical responsibility. Teaching is not just about physical skills; it's about emotional understanding. Promoting students too quickly can hinder their journey. Writing about teaching is a therapeutic process.   Join our EXCLUSIVE newsletter to get notified of each episode as it comes out! Subscribe — whistlekick Martial Arts Radio

There's a lot of confusion about what it means to be a man. Culture offers two lies: either you're the problem, or everyone else is. In this message, we expose both and look to the Bible for what true manhood really is.

Copenhagen Fashion Week marks its 20th anniversary at a moment when the fashion system is being asked to account for itself. In conversation with CEO Cecilie Thorsmark and COO Isabella Rose Davey, this episode examines how a regional fashion week evolved into a platform with global influence, and what that evolution reveals about the future of the industry. “Fashion weeks were falling out of sync with the world around us. They were celebrating fashion in a bubble, while everything else was changing.” CEO Cecilie Thorsmark  “What feels contemporary now to me is generosity.” COO Isabella Rose Davey Episode Highlights: A reflection on Copenhagen Fashion Week's evolution from a regional showcase into a global platform with cultural and economic impact over its 20-year history. Insight into how Cecilie Thorsmark redefined the purpose of a fashion week, shifting it from celebration alone to a system that engages with responsibility, progress, and accountability. A candid discussion about implementing binding sustainability requirements, including the real challenges of enforcement, support, and industry resistance. An exploration of why sustainability works best as infrastructure rather than storytelling, and how Copenhagen embedded it into participation itself. A deep dive into CPHFW NEWTALENT and what emerging designers actually need today, beyond visibility, including mentoring, financial literacy, and long-term business support. A reframing of the term “emerging designer,” challenging age-based definitions and highlighting reinvention, experience, and second chapters. A conversation about the advantages of being small, agile, and human, and why Copenhagen's scale allows for experimentation and intimacy that larger fashion weeks often lose. A thoughtful examination of why brands should be allowed to end, evolve, or transform without stigma, and how creative energy changes form rather than disappears. Cultural insight into why Copenhagen feels different, touching on quality of life, generosity, openness, and the city's ability to foster genuine connection during fashion week. A closing reflection on what feels contemporary now, distilled into two values that define the platform's ethos moving forward: responsibility and generosity. Learn more about your ad choices.

In Episode 37 of Quite Frankly, host Frankie Val is joined by guest Matt for a wide-ranging discussion on culture, perception, and the mechanisms used to shape belief. The conversation explores how modern narratives strip meaning from language, history, and identity, replacing substance with spectacle and confusion. Frankie and Matt examine the role of cultural institutions, media influence, and psychological conditioning in steering public thought, emphasizing how repetition and emotional manipulation erode discernment over time. The episode also reflects on the importance of historical awareness, symbolism, and moral grounding as tools for resisting manufactured consensus. Throughout the discussion, the focus remains on clarity, pattern recognition, and the responsibility to think independently in an environment saturated with distortion. Episode 37 continues Quite Frankly's direct, no-frills approach to confronting uncomfortable truths and questioning narratives that demand passive acceptance rather than understanding.

In this second King Hero interview with former Canadian police officer Achille Currado, we go deeper into the systemic and cultural corruption embedded within policing—not as theory, but as lived reality.As a survivor of systemic corruption and a long-term institutional con that ultimately ended his career in law enforcement, Achille returns to share hard-earned wisdom from inside the system.This conversation moves beyond exposure into pattern recognition, discernment, and practical awareness.In this interview, Achille will explore:How systemic corruption becomes normalized cultureHow long-term institutional cons are built and maintainedThe psychological and social mechanics of trust-based deceptionWhy people often miss the warning signs—not from naivety, but alignment with partial truthsHow to recognize the early indicators of a con soonerPractical guidance for navigating police encounters if and when they occurThis is not a conversation driven by outrage or sensationalism—it's grounded, sober, and rooted in lived experience.Achille brings the rare perspective of someone who:Worked inside the systemBelieved in the missionSaw the machinery clearlyAnd ultimately paid the cost of not complying with corruptionHis insights offer a powerful lens into how institutions drift, how good people become trapped inside broken systems, and how discernment becomes a form of self-protection.About Achille CurradoBorn and raised in London, Ontario, Achille began his career as a youth worker in a maximum-security facility for young offenders, where he worked for seven years. Driven by a desire to serve his community, he joined the London Police Service in 1998.Over nearly two decades, he worked as:A patrol officerIn recruiting and trainingWithin the detective office as a crime analystIn IntelligenceAs a report auditorThese roles gave him a rare, multi-layered perspective on how policing operates from the inside—across culture, hierarchy, power structures, and accountability systems.This interview is a continuation of an essential conversation about power, perception, integrity, and institutional reality.

In part two of this conversation, Michele Herlein drills into the work leaders need to do to build a culture people feel every day. She explains why most change efforts fail, why leaders underestimate the process, and how misalignment at the top spreads through an organization. Michele breaks down what strong horizontal and vertical alignment look like. She shares how to strengthen the middle layer, how to coach managers who struggle with leadership responsibilities, and how to fix systems that reward the wrong behavior. She uses clear examples from companies she has helped, including how structure and incentives shape collaboration, burnout, and results. You also hear her take on compensation, remote work, the limits of the old Monday through Friday model, and why honesty from leaders matters more than prefabricated talking points. Michele closes with personal habits that keep her grounded and the practices she believes help leaders stay aligned. This episode gives you a direct path to building a culture that lasts, supported by simple routines, consistent communication, and leadership behavior your teams can trust.

How should Christians think about artificial intelligence—and what does faithfulness look like in a rapidly changing technological world? Mark Vance is joined by Emily Jensen to begin a thoughtful, theological conversation about artificial intelligence. Rather than reacting with fear or hype, they explore how Christians can approach AI with wisdom, discernment, and confidence in God's design for humanity.Mark and Emily discuss why AI raises deeper questions about personhood, creativity, work, and trust, and why technology should be evaluated through a biblical lens rather than cultural panic. This first episode lays the groundwork for understanding AI as a tool—one that can shape society for good or ill depending on how it's formed, governed, and used—and prepares listeners for a deeper ethical and theological discussion in Part 2.Episode Highlights00:29 — Introduction to the conversation on artificial intelligence 01:11 — Why AI raises big questions for Christians 02:20 — Why the AI conversation isn't just about technology, but about humanity 03:37 — Cultural anxiety around AI and where that fear comes from 04:38 — The theological heart of the issue: what makes humans unique 05:50 — Why the world AI is shaping isn't the world Scripture describes 06:51 — Tracing where modern AI ideas come from historically 08:02 — Pulling back the curtain: what AI is (and isn't) actually doing 21:42 — Everyday examples of AI already shaping our lives 22:54 — The real question AI forces us to ask about meaning and value 24:00 — Convenience, automation, and the tradeoffs we rarely notice 25:56 — Why efficiency alone can't define what's good 26:54 — Where Christians should anchor their hope amid technological changeResourcesCornerstone Church Sermons: Listen onlineAsk Mark a Question!

In this Ask Away #28 episode of Everyday Judaism, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe answers live and emailed questions on practical halacha and deeper Jewish life:Netilat yadayim technique — One continuous flow is ideal; your wrist-to-fingers method is fine if uninterrupted.Running water / faucets — Requires human force (koach gavra); turn faucet on/off repeatedly so first spurt washes each hand.Morning blessings order — Body needs first (restroom), then wash hands + Al Netilat Yadayim, Asher Yatzar, Elokai Neshama (attach them); Modeh Ani immediately upon waking.Aliyah in current times — Massive wave of aliyah is real and prophetic; if livelihood transfers easily, move (great mitzvah—every moment/step in Eretz Yisrael is a mitzvah); if not, stay and be intentional (e.g., spread Torah, as Rabbi does in Houston). Cultural/language barriers for children over 6 are real; prepare spiritually (Torah growth, closeness to Hashem) for Moshiach—have a "go bag" ready.Tattoos & henna — Tattoos forbidden biblically; henna generally permitted (ask rabbi); neither blocks hand-washing unless substantial chatzitzah.Infidelity & King Solomon — Torah forbids casual intimacy outside marriage; Solomon's 1,000 wives/concubines is a cautionary tale—he later warns against it.

In this Ask Away #28 episode of Everyday Judaism, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe answers live and emailed questions on practical halacha and deeper Jewish life:Netilat yadayim technique — One continuous flow is ideal; your wrist-to-fingers method is fine if uninterrupted.Running water / faucets — Requires human force (koach gavra); turn faucet on/off repeatedly so first spurt washes each hand.Morning blessings order — Body needs first (restroom), then wash hands + Al Netilat Yadayim, Asher Yatzar, Elokai Neshama (attach them); Modeh Ani immediately upon waking.Aliyah in current times — Massive wave of aliyah is real and prophetic; if livelihood transfers easily, move (great mitzvah—every moment/step in Eretz Yisrael is a mitzvah); if not, stay and be intentional (e.g., spread Torah, as Rabbi does in Houston). Cultural/language barriers for children over 6 are real; prepare spiritually (Torah growth, closeness to Hashem) for Moshiach—have a "go bag" ready.Tattoos & henna — Tattoos forbidden biblically; henna generally permitted (ask rabbi); neither blocks hand-washing unless substantial chatzitzah.Infidelity & King Solomon — Torah forbids casual intimacy outside marriage; Solomon's 1,000 wives/concubines is a cautionary tale—he later warns against it. Rabbinic decree limits men to one wife at a time. Modern promiscuity/infidelity rises with internet; use filters/accountability, delete temptations, prioritize emotional depth via niddah laws.Shabbat automatic toilets — Triggering sensors is problematic (creative labor); if unavoidable, some poskim permit as gram/indirect; best avoid or use manual options.Finding a rabbi — Pursue actively (run after them); persistence (e.g., persistent voicemails) works; rabbi guides halacha/life; don't wait for one to chase you.The rabbi shares personal stories (mikvah healing soul-leaving sensation, persistent rabbi outreach) and stresses intentional Judaism, community, and using modern tools for good while guarding against harm.Please submit your questions at askaway@torchweb.org_____________The Everyday Judaism Podcast is dedicated to learning, understanding and appreciating the greatness of Jewish heritage and the Torah through the simplified, concise study of Halacha, Jewish Law, thereby enhancing our understanding of how Hashem wants us to live our daily lives in a Jewish way._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Marshall & Doreen LernerDownload & Print the Everyday Judaism Halacha Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RL-PideM42B_LFn6pbrk8MMU5-zqlLG5This episode (Ep. #82) of the Everyday Judaism Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Marshall & Doreen Lerner!

Charles Burton explains that Canada's Indigenous peoples, particularly the Inuit who share close family and cultural ties with Greenlanders, are exerting political pressure on Ottawa to protect Greenland's sovereignty against potential United States acquisition. Because the Canadian government is sensitive to Indigenous lobbies, the Inuit—who view US governance as less favorable than the current Danish arrangement—are effectively influencing Canada's foreign policy to oppose any US infringement on the self-determination of their "co-ethnics" in the north.1931 GREENLAND

In this episode of the Podcast for Cultural Reformation, Dr. Michael Thiessen and Dr. Joe Boot continue their reflections on Ezra Institute’s time at AmericaFest, focusing on Dr. Boot’s interview with Lucas Miles, Director of TPUSA Faith. They discuss the need for cultural and political engagement to be rooted in the Church and shaped by a robust biblical worldview, emphasizing the Lordship of Christ, the authority of Scripture, and the reality of human depravity. The conversation highlights why worldview formation—not issue-by-issue activism—is essential for lasting cultural reformation, and why unity around primary Christian doctrine matters in this moment. Ultimately, the episode calls Christians to think and live Christianly in every area of life by answering the fundamental question of our time: Who is King?

This week on Sinica, I speak with Afra Wang, a writer working between London and the Bay Area, currently a fellow with Gov.AI. We're talking today about her recent WIRED piece on what might be China's most influential science fiction project you've never heard of: The Morning Star of Lingao (Língáo Qǐmíng 临高启明), a sprawling, crowdsourced novel about time travelers who bootstrap an industrial revolution in Ming Dynasty Hainan. More than a thought experiment in alternate history, it's the ur-text of China's "Industrial Party" (gōngyè dǎng 工业党) — the loose intellectual movement that sees engineering capability as the true source of national power. We discuss what the novel reveals about how China thinks about failure, modernity, and salvation, and why, just as Americans are waking up to China's industrial might, the worldview that helped produce it may already be losing its grip.5:27 – Being a cultural in-betweener: code-switching across moral and epistemic registers 10:25 – Double consciousness and converging aesthetic standards 12:05 – "The greatest Chinese science fiction" — an ironic title for a poorly written cult classic 14:18 – Bridging STEM and humanities: the KPI-coded language of tech optimization 16:08 – China's post-Industrial Party moment: from "try hard" to "lie flat" 17:01 – How widely known is Lingao?

Southern Oregon artist Crystal Proffitt has always had a connection to hair. As a dancer, she grew comfortable styling her own hair for performances, and later worked as a professional hairstylist. But she’s also had strangers approach her to touch or tug her curls unsolicited, an experience she says isn’t uncommon for people of color.    Proffitt channeled those experiences and others into the art installation “Don’t Touch My Hair: An Interactive Crowned Experience.” It features portraits of local models accompanied by audio descriptions of their own experiences with their hair. The installation will be on display at the Rogue Gallery & Art Center in Medford through Feb. 27.   Proffitt joins us to talk more about the installation and the ways hair can convey beauty, culture, memory and identity.

Community & Cultural Gaslighting: Protecting the Nervous System in an Age of ChaosWhen communities are flooded with conflicting narratives—each emotionally charged and claiming exclusive truth—the nervous system enters a state of chronic stress. This phenomenon, known as cultural gaslighting, destabilizes our sense of reality by overwhelming the brain's threat-detection systems while suppressing the prefrontal cortex responsible for discernment and reason. The result is widespread anxiety, polarization, and emotional exhaustion—not because people are weak or uninformed, but because prolonged exposure to contradiction and fear dysregulates the brain, vagus nerve, and stress response. What feels like confusion is often a physiological signal that coherence and safety have been disrupted.Protecting the mind and heart in such an environment begins with regulation before reaction. A calm nervous system restores clarity, allowing facts to be separated from emotional manipulation and complexity to replace binary thinking. Grounding in local reality, slowing the breath, limiting exposure, and refusing outrage-driven narratives help preserve both compassion and strength. True resilience is not numbness or anger, but the ability to remain embodied, thoughtful, and humane—anchored in truth without surrendering to chaos.Dr. Fred Clary, founder of Functional Analysis Chiropractic Technique and lifting/life coach/ gym-chalk covered philosopher talks about Community Gaslighting!

Written communication strips away tone, facial expression, and nuance — which is why texts and emails are so easy to misinterpret. Sarcasm, humor, and intent can get lost, sometimes with awkward or costly consequences. This episode begins with how emojis can restore subtlety to digital communication — if you know which ones actually help and which ones make things worse. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0747563221002946?utm Some of the greatest ideas — and even entire careers — were never planned. Potato chips, penicillin, and Post-it Notes were all accidents. Success often comes not from careful design, but from noticing opportunities hidden inside unexpected events. Innovation expert Paul Sloane explains how breakthroughs really happen and how you can position yourself to recognize them when they appear. Paul is author of The Art of Unexpected Solutions (https://amzn.to/3ZeKEvw). People naturally gravitate toward others who think, act, and believe the same way they do. We form tribes — social, political, professional — and those bonds can feel deeply comforting. But this instinct also shapes how we see outsiders and influences cooperation, conflict, and culture itself. Cultural psychologist Michael Morris explores why humans evolved this instinct and whether it ultimately helps or harms us. He is author of Tribal: How the Cultural Instincts That Divide Us Can Help Bring Us Together (https://amzn.to/4pJ6K4n). And finally, weight loss is one of the most common New Year's resolutions — and one of the quickest to be abandoned. Research suggests that a handful of surprisingly small habits can dramatically improve your chances of sticking with it. We wrap up with what actually works. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34259635/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS SHOPIFY: In 2026, stop waiting and start selling with Shopify!
