In this episode of Straight White American Jesus, Brad Onishi—author of American Caesar: How Theocrats and Tech Lords Are Turning America into a Monarchy —is joined by co-host Dan Miller, Professor of Religion and Social Thought at Landmark College. They begin by unpacking the ongoing ICE operations in Minnesota, framing the federal crackdown as a clash between authoritarian state power and a deeply organized, nonviolent response by ordinary Minnesotans. Drawing on political theory and on-the-ground reporting, Brad and Dan argue that what's unfolding in the Twin Cities is not a partisan skirmish but a vivid example of democracy in action: neighbors mobilizing to protect one another against coercion, violence, and the erosion of basic rights. The conversation then turns to two deeply troubling developments with national implications. First, they examine the killing of Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse and legal gun owner, and the Trump administration's sudden hostility to Second Amendment arguments—revealing how rights are selectively applied depending on political loyalty. Finally, they analyze the FBI raid on a Georgia election office, tracing its roots to Trump's refusal to accept the 2020 election results and warning of the chilling precedent this sets for future elections. Taken together, these stories reveal a pattern: the criminalization of dissent, the dehumanization of political opponents, and an accelerating effort to use state power to intimidate, suppress, and control.

Straight White American Jesus digs into the Minnesota church protest that's been framed as “anti-Christian”—and explains why that framing collapses on contact. Brad Onishi and Dan Miller connect the dots between City's Church, ICE, Doug Wilson's theological orbit, and the ideology behind The Sin of Empathy, showing how a strain of Christian nationalism produces pastors who see no contradiction between pulpit ministry and state violence. What looks like an isolated protest turns out to be part of a much larger story about power, theology, and the weaponization of “law and order,” with unsettling links that stretch from Minneapolis to Washington, D.C. From there, the conversation widens to the ICE occupation of the Twin Cities, the general strike, and the moral backlash unfolding across religious lines—Catholic clergy, mainline Protestants, and everyday residents standing watch in subzero temperatures to protect their neighbors. Brad and Dan confront the human cost of these policies, including the detention of a five-year-old child and the warrantless arrest of a U.S. citizen, and ask what it means when empathy itself is declared a sin. The episode closes by zooming out to Davos, Trump's open flirtation with dictatorship, and what it means to live in a moment of rupture—not transition—where democracy is being tested not in speeches or elections, but in the streets.

Dan Miller is back, and this time we are talking about the side of purity culture that almost never gets center stage: how it messes with men. While purity culture is usually framed around controlling women's bodies and desires, Dan helps us unpack how men and those socialized as male are shaped by shame, fear, and some wildly unhealthy expectations. From being taught they are inherently dangerous to being trapped in rigid ideas of masculinity, this conversation looks at how purity culture limits emotional range, intimacy, and even basic self understanding long after people have deconstructed the theology.We get into everything from the predator versus protector binary to the loneliness epidemic among men, why anger becomes the only socially acceptable emotion, and how the “slippery slope” logic around touch wrecks healthy connection. Dan also walks through what healing can actually look like, including somatic awareness, parts work, and relearning how to experience pleasure and desire without shame. We wrap by talking about what it might look like to raise boys differently, with more room for emotions, curiosity, and care. Equal parts thoughtful, validating, and gently unhinged in the best way, this episode is for anyone trying to unlearn the damage purity culture did to their body, their relationships, or their sense of self.Connect with Dan:Website: CTRR Practitioner bio pageSocial Media: Straight White American Jesus Podcast, Co-Host, Instagram: @straightwhitejc, Twitter: @straightwhitejcEmail: danielmillerswaj@gmail.comResources discussed in this episode: Jesus and John Wayne by Kristen Kobes duMez This podcast is brought to you by the Center for Trauma Resolution and Recovery: an online trauma coaching company whose practitioners are trauma informed and trauma trained to work with individuals, couples and families who have experienced high control religion, cults, and religious trauma.

I feel we are in an age of trust. A desire for trust, and a lot of distrust. Right now you are listening to this podcast. Outside of podcasts that are news or entertainment, I see people tuning in to listen to hosts that they look to for…trust. You would not be listening here and now if you did not have a level of trust in me. And I see this as good and bad. As of this recording I am headed to a podcast convention where they are inducting my Dad, Dan Miller, into the Podcast Hall of Fame. He's being inducted by Dave Ramsey and my family and I are receiving it and I'm giving the acceptance speech. I'm incredibly honored. But Dave Ramsey. He's a celebrity who got famous for his guidance on money. Today however he has massive trust from a huge audience who looks to him for guidance on about everything. And I see a cultural who is erroring on over-trust. And I feel it brings up the question of how much we trust ourselves. So in this episode I have Dr. Shadé Zahrai with me. Shadé is a behavioral researcher, peak performance educator, and leadership strategist for major global companies, with a PhD in organizational behavior. She is known for helping organizations and individuals build confidence and overcome self-doubt through practical strategies drawn from psychology and neuroscience. Shadé has a new book that compiles her findings, Big Trust: Rewire Self-Doubt, Find Your Confidence, And Fuel Success. She walks us through a proven framework of Acceptance, Agency, Autonomy, and Adaptability, and helps us reveal and reframe limiting beliefs, quiet imposter thoughts, and reclaim our inner strength. Whether you're second guessing a big decision, overthinking in high-stakes moments, or feeling stuck despite knowing you're capable of more, Shadé has developed practical steps that lead to powerful, lasting results. You can find Shadé at bigtrustbook.com and do a 12 question self-diagnostics on your level of trust and self-doubt.

THANKS TO ANDREW FOR MAKING THE INTRO SONG. (soundcloud.com / andoryukesuta) @andoryukesuta A severe thunderstorm strikes Bridgton, Maine, causing a tree to crash through the lakeside home of artist David Drayton, his wife Stephanie, and their eight-year-old son, Billy. While surveying the damage the next morning, they notice a thick mist advancing over the lake. David and BIlly leave for the town with their neighbor Brent Norton to buy supplies. Along the way, they pass several military convoys. From inside the supermarket, they watch police cars speed down the street. A terrified local, Dan Miller, runs into the store and warns of a danger lurking in the mist. As a civil alert siren sounds, store managers Ollie Weeks and Bud Brown close off the supermarket, and the mist envelops the store. Soon after, a woman leaves alone to get to her children. Against David's advice, bagger Norm starts to go outside to fix the store's emergency generator, but he is grabbed by a tentacled creature and dragged into the mist. Afterwards, the survivors begin barricading the store while religious fanatic Mrs. Carmody preaches that the mist is divine punishment. Brent, skeptical of the danger, leaves the store with a group of people, never to return. David forms connections with several people in the store, including Amanda Dunfrey and Irene Reppler, two teachers who came into conflict with Carmody over her religious take on the ongoing disaster. Amanda carries a revolver in her purse and gives it to Ollie, who is a former regional shooting champion. As night falls, enormous flying insects, attracted to the lights, swarm to the store windows and are preyed on by pterodactyl-like creatures. One of the predators smashes a window, allowing both species inside. In the ensuing panic, two people are killed while another receives fatal burns while attempting to incinerate the insects. Meanwhile, Carmody is miraculously spared from an insect, which convinces her to proselytize more fervently and gain followers among the survivors. A group led by David ventures to a nearby pharmacy in search of medical supplies but is attacked by deadly spider-like creatures. Upon their return, tensions rise as Mrs. Carmody calls for sacrifices to appease the monsters, singling out a soldier named Jessup, who reveals that the mist was the result of a military experiment to find other dimensions gone wrong. He is stabbed, thrown outside and immediately killed by a monstrous creature. The next morning, Mrs. Carmody demands Billy and Amanda be sacrificed, but assistant manager Ollie shoots and kills her, returning her followers to their senses and allowing David and his group to escape the store. After Ollie and several others are killed by the creatures, David grabs his gun and drives off with the survivors. The group stops by David's house, where they see Stephanie's dead body. As the group continue their drive through the mist, they pass scenes of widespread destruction and come across a colossal creature before eventually running out of gas. With no hope left, David mercy-kills the group with the last four bullets, including Billy. David steps out of the vehicle and screams for the monsters to come and kill him. The mist begins to clear, as the U.S. Army arrives soon after to exterminate the creatures and rescue survivors. One of the survivors is the woman who left at the onset of the disaster, now safe and reunited with her children. Realizing his actions were in vain, a distraught David collapses, screaming in anguish.
Dan Miller examines how the Trump administration is beginning 2026 and what recent policy decisions reveal about its priorities. Dan breaks down the administration's signature “one big beautiful bill,” its continued unpopularity, and the GOP's insistence that the problem is messaging rather than substance. The episode also explores why widely supported policies like ACA subsidies, childcare funding, and disaster relief continue to be undermined, while legislation consistently favors the wealthy. Dan connects these economic choices to the administration's reliance on culture war distractions, including targeting marginalized communities, rolling back clean energy initiatives, and slashing FEMA support. The throughline, he argues, is a governing vision that withdraws care from ordinary Americans while protecting power and privilege at the top.

What if saying your goals out loud, got you an email introducing you to your hero? In this episode, Cliff Ravenscraft shares how he walked away from a family insurance agency (started by his grandfather in 1937) where he was next in line to lead, all because of a podcast about the TV show Lost. After building an audience of 60,000 subscribers and receiving over 500 handwritten letters from people whose lives were transformed, Cliff realized his real calling wasn't selling insurance or being a pastor. It was teaching people how to use their voice to create content that matters. He's since helped over 40,000 people launch podcasts, but discovered something critical: nine out of ten failed because they skipped the first seven steps of building an online business. Step eight? Create content and build your audience. Everything else comes first. Cliff reveals the four-step formula that led to a $3 million relationship: believe it's possible, write it down, tell others, and work the plan as it becomes available. He also shares why his first year as a full-time entrepreneur, working 14-hour days seven days a week for $11,000, ended with a 24-hour podcast marathon and two weeks in the hospital where he almost died. [00:05:00] Helping 40,000 People Launch Podcasts Left very lucrative career in family insurance agency started by grandfather in 1937 Went out to teach people how to launch podcasts Helped more than 40,000 people in the world launch a podcast Published over 4,800 podcast episodes across 55+ shows in 20 years [00:11:20] The First Year That Almost Killed Him First year full-time: 12-14 hours a day, seven days a week, not one day off first nine months Didn't receive single personal paycheck, just earned enough to pay business expenses End of year brought home $11,000 net personal income after taxes Celebrated with 24-hour podcast marathon, ended with two weeks in hospital [00:13:20] Why Nine Out of Ten Podcasters Fail In 2012, more than 50 of top 100 business podcasts were Cliff's clients But nine out of ten failed to ever see sustainable profit or any income Created 11-step framework for building online business Step number eight: create content and build audience (first seven steps were missed) [00:14:40] The Workshop That Changed Everything In 2017 stopped teaching podcasting, started coaching through what people missed One person earned no income before workshop, within two weeks secured $5,000/month recurring Coaches charging $50/hour walked out charging $300/hour "This is what fires me up" [00:16:40] Choose an Audience With Money Most people fail to choose audience that has money Ideal customer must have money, be aware of problem, willing to pay to solve it "I've got entire audience of tens of thousands and none of them have any money" Must validate they will pay before you create website, logo, podcast content [00:20:00] The Two Conditions At 18, convinced life would be devoted to ministry with servant's heart Parents asked him to work in insurance office because of computer skills Told parents: "You will never expect me to get insurance license" "If I'm offered opportunity to pastor church, I must get your full blessing to leave" [00:24:20] Top 10 Out of 14,000 Insurance Agents Year 2000, top 10 out of 14,000 agents with Grange Life Insurance Top 50 out of 48,000 agents with Auto Owners Life Insurance Sold 30-100 policies per month selling term life insurance All while competing against people selling permanent life (much higher premiums) [00:25:40] The Lost Podcast Changed Everything 2005, started podcasting as hobby about TV show Lost By third episode had 27,000 subscribers around the world Audience grew to over 60,000 subscribers Wooden inbox with over 500 handwritten letters: "Because of something you said, my life will never be the same" [00:28:00] Reaching Hundreds of Thousands Within 18 months reaching hundreds of thousands through seven different podcasts Producing seven to fifteen podcast episodes per week People's lives being transformed "I wonder what life would be like if I could do this for a living" [00:30:40] Testing the Four Step Formula Heard four-step formula: believe it's possible, write it down, tell others, work the plan Decided to test it with specific goal: meet Dan Miller and Leo LaPorte Didn't want to just meet at conference and be forgotten Wanted to tell them their influence and have them not forget meeting him [00:32:40] Forty Minutes After Hitting Publish Recorded podcast episode explaining formula and his goal Hit publish, 40 minutes later got email from Andy Troub (the connector) "I happen to be working on a project with Dan Miller.

Dan Miller unpacks how Republican policy and ideology are converging around harm rather than governance. He begins with healthcare, breaking down how congressional action allowed Affordable Care Act subsidies to lapse and what that means for millions of Americans who rely on them. Rather than offering alternatives, the GOP continues to frame healthcare through an ideological lens that treats public support as illegitimate, even when the human cost is clear. From there, Dan traces the familiar shift from policy failure to moral panic, focusing on the escalating attacks on trans youth. He examines the House passage of Marjorie Taylor Greene's Protect Children's Innocence Act, the Trump administration's push to ban gender affirming care for minors, and recent FDA actions targeting breast binders. Dan connects these moves to a broader right wing strategy that defines itself through opposition to marginalized groups, warning that restrictions justified in the name of protecting children and morality often pave the way for wider government overreach. He closes by looking at Pete Hegseth's influence inside the military and the dangers of folding Christian nationalism into institutions meant to serve a pluralistic society.

As humans, we are governed by our core beliefs, many of which we aren't even aware of. There are so many things we believe to be true and so many foundational concepts of our perception we never question. So in this episode, we're going to question them. Ram Dass was an American Spiritual teacher, psychologist, and writer. He gained popularity in the early 1960s by bringing concepts of consciousness and spirituality from India, to America. His book, "Be Here Now" is a spiritual classic selling over two million copies. He began as a professor at Harvard before being fired along with Timothy Leary for experimenting and advocating the use of psychedelics. Now, as a proper Christian, I was fairly unaware of Ram Dass. That is until the winter of 2024 when my Dad, Dan Miller of 48 Days To The Work & Life You Love fame, was diagnosed with cancer. During the six weeks between his diagnosis and ultimate death, he had little interest in any topic other than spirituality. And one of the people he tuned into was Ram Dass. My brother Jared and my Dad would pull up YouTube videos of Ram Dass and I got my first real exposure. My spiritual journey since then has been nothing short of revelatory. And such was my delight when the giant publisher, Harper, contacted me about doing a show on a new book from Ram Dass. What it ended up being was a new book compiled from over 50 talks Ram Dass conducted, compiled and edited by Parvati Markus, who was at the right hand of Ram Dass since the beginning of his spiritual leadership. Parvati is an author of multiple books on spirituality and one of the closest long term friends to Ram Dass that ever existed. In this episode Parvati joins me to talk through key issues Ram discusses such as our human propensity, especially in western cultures, to think in terms of “us” vs “them.” We discuss Judgement vs appreciation. Then attachments and the danger of what we cling to. And we spend a lot of time talking about the dangers of identifying with our roles, which for much of humanity, again, I think exaggerated in our western culture, is all that we know to identify with. The new book, which I've read front to back twice now, is There Is No Other: The Way to Harmony and Wholeness. Connect more at ramdass.org.

Democrats resoundingly swept the contentious statewide judicial races. Republicans, backed by billionaire donor Jeffrey Yass, sought to make history with a series of votes to remove three Democratic judges from the state Supreme Court. But all three Justices, Kevin Dougherty, Christine Donohue and David Wecht, will retain their seats. Democrats also won a seat each on the state’s Superior and Commonwealth appellate courts. In Harrisburg, incumbent Wanda Williams secured another four years as mayor by receiving 56% of the vote, over city treasurer Dan Miller's 43%. And in Lancaster, Democrat Jaime Arroyo will be the city’s next mayor after securing a resounding victory. In Dauphin County, a bomb threat triggered a lockdown at an elementary school serving as a polling location Tuesday afternoon. A lawsuit challenging Pennsylvania’s ban on Medicaid coverage for abortions returns to court this week. Graduate student workers at Penn State are holding a vote on whether to form a union. Gov. Josh Shapiro and the leaders of all four legislative caucuses met in person several days last week. Franklin and Marshall College is announcing a major initiative designed to make the Lancaster-based private school more affordable. Cumberland County Commissioners are reminding volunteer fire, ambulance, and EMS personnel of an upcoming deadline. November 15th is the final day first responders can apply for the Volunteer Firefighter and EMS Tax Credit of up to $250.

I want to share two stories with you today. One from my mentor, Dan Miller, and one from my friend Freya Casey. Both have confirmed the way I see life, faith, and even death itself. Dan was told in December of 2023 that he had advanced pancreatic cancer. No treatment. No cure. Six months to live at most. His very first words to me after receiving that diagnosis? “So I have this gift…” He wrote about the conversations he was having with his wife Joanne, their kids, and grandkids. About celebrating now rather than later. About reflecting on legacy, gratitude, and even anticipating “an incredible spiritual transformation” with excitement. He wasn't bitter. He wasn't fearful. He wasn't even anxious. He was fully alive. That message, and the peace behind it, lined up with what I already knew to be true at a deeper level… that real faith isn't proven by what we say we believe, but by the peace and presence we carry when life gives us every reason to fall apart. For much of my life, I met many people, and at times, I was one of them, who claimed faith in God yet carried fear, anxiety, and worry about the smallest things. But by the time I received Dan's text, that was no longer my reality. Dan embodied what I've come to know as true. He had encountered something far deeper than doctrine or dogma. He knew what it meant to live in alignment with love itself, to experience the presence of God as a living reality rather than a religious concept. And then there's Freya. Freya has been a client and friend for over a decade. She's a single mother of three, pregnant with her fourth, a business owner, a creator and recently diagnosed with advanced stomach cancer while pregnant. Yet when she reached out to me, she wasn't falling apart. She was calm. Peaceful. Clear. Not because she knew the outcome. But because she wasn't resisting reality. She was fully present, creating her reality moment by moment, choosing to trust rather than fear, to open rather than control, to soften rather than fight. Freya and I have been having many private conversations over the past few months about what she's been walking through. One day, she decided to join me on one of my open live streams. She felt her story might encourage someone else who needed to hear it. What unfolded became yet another living example of what it looks like to trust the journey in the midst of life's greatest trials. If you want to hear her story in her own voice, and feel the peace that carries through every word, listen to this episode. My hope is that what you hear will do more than inspire you. I hope it awakens something within you. A quiet knowing that peace really is possible, even in the middle of life's greatest storms. With gratitude, Cliff An Invitation: If what you hear in this episode resonates with you and you'd like to go deeper, I want to personally invite you to join us at the Free The Dream Workshop. This two-day experience is designed to help you clear the noise, uncover what's next, and remember the part of you that's still waiting to be lived. The next session is happening August 29–30, right here in my hometown, and for this limited time, it's a pay-what-you-want event. That means you can even attend for free if that's what works for you right now. (Note: The next session will be hosted in October 2025. Dates have now been confirmed!!!! The dates are Friday and Saturday, October 17th and 18th) You can learn more and reserve your spot at FreeTheDreamWorkshop.com
I have done a number of podcasts on calling, but as I don't believe anyone has the definitive definition of what a calling is and what your's might be, I am a fan of a continued discussion with various experts. I spent many years talking about calling and purpose as some holy grail discovery. Even as I did so many different things vocationally and personally, all the while feeling very fulfilled and inspired in my work. It wasn't until I had kids in high school and became concerned about finding that big, one thing, that I started to understand calling not just as one role, but more as a position I can engage with in many, many areas. A few years ago I sat down with someone I learned to view as a sage regarding calling. My Dad, Dan Miller, famed author of 48 Days To The Work & Life Love. He helped so many people expand their understanding of themselves and what they had to offer. Which was offerings that transferred to many, many applications. He'd so often find someone who had been wildly successful in the corporate world or in business or even areas of life like athletics or politics, but whose role in those areas came to an end. And they had no idea how to transfer their skills to something else. And for that matter, were not clear on what their skills were. And how they related to what really called to their hearts. So in this conversation we discuss the myth of a narrow calling, and even address what a true “calling” is anyway. My father passed away, but his profound work lives on at 48days.com.
