A Talk With a Convicted Registered Sex Offender and Her Transformation. This might well be the most difficult episode I have ever done. Because I have no chill when it comes to these types of offenses and crimes. Conversations about sexual offenses are often framed in headlines, court records, and statistics, but rarely through long-form, accountable dialogue that explores what happens after conviction. Check out Her Podcast appearance, and content shared for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and most major podcast platforms. In a recent episode titled “A Talk With a Convicted Registered Sex Offender and Her Transformation,” listeners are introduced to Holly Bot, a convicted and registered sex offender who served eight years incarcerated in a Minnesota prison, followed by supervised release. Her story, shared through interview and reflection, focuses not on justification, but on responsibility, consequence, and personal transformation. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. The conversation is available Free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, and across major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and most major Podcast networks, and is being discussed across Facebook, Instagram, and News outlets for its difficult but uncommon perspective. The Crime and the Sentence Holly Bot, formerly known as Holly Kathleen Aho, was a Prior Lake, Minnesota woman who pleaded guilty in 2010 to felony criminal sexual conduct while in a position of authority. The charge stemmed from an ongoing sexual relationship with her son's 15-year-old friend, who had been staying in her home during a period of financial hardship in the boy's family. A Talk With a Convicted Registered Sex Offender and Her Transformation. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . According to court records, the relationship occurred between February and March 2010. She admitted to police that the sexual contact happened multiple times, both in the family home and once during a stop in her vehicle while driving to a movie theater. She was sentenced to eight years in prison and four years of supervised release, and she is now a registered sex offender. “I don't tell my story to erase harm,” Holly states during the interview. “I tell it because accountability doesn't end at sentencing, it begins there.” Before, During, and After Incarceration The interview traces Holly's life before the crime, including her marriage, family structure, and emotional state leading up to the offense. She discusses the immediate aftermath, arrest, trial, and incarceration, without deflection. A Talk With a Convicted Registered Sex Offender and Her Transformation. Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. Her marriage did not survive the process. “Prison didn't just take my freedom,” she reflects. “It stripped away every identity I thought defined me, wife, mother, normalcy.” Inside prison, Holly describes navigating shame, isolation, and survival, particularly as someone incarcerated for a sex offense, a status that often leads to heightened stigma and vulnerability within correctional settings. “You either confront who you are,” she says, “or you disappear inside yourself.” Spiritual Survival and Transformation A central theme of the conversation is spiritual transformation. Holly speaks openly about turning to faith, not as a shield, but as a framework for responsibility and change. “I had to surrender the idea that I was the victim,” she explains. “Spiritual survival meant telling the truth about myself, even when it was unbearable.” A Talk With a Convicted Registered Sex Offender and Her Transformation. Look for The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. That journey ultimately led to the writing of her memoir, From Surviving to Living, a deeply personal Book that documents incarceration, mental health struggles, broken relationships, and the long process of rebuilding a life after prison. From Surviving to Living From Surviving to Living is more than a memoir. It functions as a reflective resource for: Incarcerated individuals and reentry participants Correctional facilities and treatment programs Chaplaincy services and faith-based groups Mental health and recovery communities The book addresses intake, isolation, depression, anger, shame, accountability, and healing, offering readers emotional validation without minimizing harm. A Talk With a Convicted Registered Sex Offender and Her Transformation. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and other podcast platforms. “Change doesn't erase consequences,” Holly writes. “But it determines whether suffering is wasted.” A Difficult but Necessary Conversation This Podcast episode does not seek to soften the reality of the crime or the damage caused. Instead, it asks a harder question: What does responsibility look like over a lifetime, not just in a courtroom? The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. By allowing space for honest reflection, the conversation challenges audiences to hold two truths at once: the gravity of harm, and the possibility of transformation through structure, accountability, and sustained effort.

The full interview is available Free on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube, and excerpts are being shared on Facebook and Instagram as part of a broader dialogue about incarceration, reentry, and personal responsibility.

Love is one of the most familiar words in Scripture—and one of the most challenging to live out. Jesus summed up God’s greatest commandments with a simple directive: love God fully, and love your neighbor as yourself. It sounds straightforward, but the devotional reminds us that biblical love isn’t driven by convenience, comfort, or emotion. It’s a choice rooted in humble obedience, and it often runs directly against the way the world defines love. Loving your neighbor feels easier when your neighbor is kind, friendly, and considerate. But what about the difficult ones—the person who seems cold, critical, loud, inconsiderate, or perpetually unpleasant? This devotional gently confronts that reality and turns the mirror back toward us: sometimes we are difficult to love too. And sometimes our struggle to love others is connected to an even deeper struggle—forgetting what God says about us, and failing to receive His love and truth in a way that shapes how we see ourselves. The devotional emphasizes that loving our neighbor flows from loving God first. When we seek Him with our whole heart, He steadies our identity and reminds us of what is true: we are made with intention, set apart, loved, forgiven, and made new in Christ. That truth reshapes our internal posture—reducing insecurity, comparison, harsh judgment, and self-protection. And from that renewed place, we’re better equipped to treat others with patience, kindness, humility, and compassion. Loving a difficult neighbor doesn’t mean excusing harmful behavior or ignoring real boundaries. It means choosing to see them through the lens of mercy and grace, asking God to revive love in us, and responding in a way that honors Him. When we stay tuned to God’s voice and anchored in His love, we can love others—not because they deserve it, but because we’re reflecting the love we’ve received. Main Takeaways Biblical love is a choice rooted in obedience, not shifting feelings or convenience. Loving difficult people starts with loving God first and letting Him shape your heart. Remembering your identity in Christ helps you love others with more patience and humility. “Love your neighbor as yourself” invites both self-reflection and compassion for others. God can revive love in you so you can respond with mercy, grace, and sincerity. Today’s Bible Verse “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.” - Mark 12:30-31 Your Daily Prayer Here is a brief excerpt from today’s prayer: “Align my heart to Your will and way so that I may choose to love others with a tender heart of kindness, compassion, and sincerity.” You listen to the full prayer here or read the devotional at the links below.

La Côte d'Ivoire sort d'une séquence électorale au bénéfice du parti présidentiel RHDP. Non seulement le sortant Alassane Ouattara a pu se maintenir pour un quatrième mandat contesté, mais sa formation politique a arraché plus des trois quarts des sièges à l'Assemblée nationale. Au détriment du PDCI qui a perdu la moitié de ses députés et du PPA-CI qui a boudé le scrutin. Alors que les divisions persistent au sein des partis d'opposition et que le parti au pouvoir peine à faire émerger un successeur consensuel au chef de l'État, la Côte d'Ivoire entre-t-elle à la fin d'un chapitre politique de trois décennies dominées par les trois icônes Henri Konan Bédié, Laurent Gbgabo et Alassane Ouattara ? Éléments de réponses avec le Dr Séverin Kouamé, sociologue et enseignant-chercheur à l'université de Bouaké. Il répond à Sidy Yansané. RFI : Dr Séverin Yao Kouamé ce week-end, le PPA-CI a annoncé la tenue de son premier congrès en mai prochain. Mais surtout, ses cadres ont maintenu Laurent Gbagbo à la tête du parti. Malgré son âge et son état de santé fragile, et malgré l'éviction de plusieurs figures comme Stéphane Kipré, Armand Ouégnin ou même Ahoua Don Mello. Est-ce qu'on peut déjà dire que l'ère de l'opposant historique Gbagbo est en train de s'achever ? Dr. Séverin Yao Kouamé : Je pense qu'il y a toute la question de son état physique. Maintenant, dire que c'est une ère qui est en train de s'achever, il faut peut-être approfondir un peu mieux la réflexion. Dans tous les cas, Gbagbo lui-même est en demande de repos. Il a été l'opposant historique sous Houphouët Boigny, il a été de ceux qui ont concouru à l'instauration du multipartisme, etc. Il a été de tous les grands combats. Mais il est clair que physiquement, il est arrivé à un moment où il lui faut passer la main. Et toute la problématique, c'est de déterminer qui est en capacité de continuer la lutte que Gbagbo a engagé depuis plus d'une trentaine d'années. Toujours au sein de la gauche ivoirienne, Simone Ehivet et son Mouvement des Générations capables n'ont remporté aucun siège à l'Assemblée nationale. Et ça malgré la coalition formée avec le Cojep de Charles Blé Goudé et le PDCI. Selon vous, pourquoi ces grands noms de l'opposition peinent à se faire entendre aujourd'hui ? Des formations comme le MGC ou d'autres sont encore dans une phase juvénile. C'est sur le temps long que se construit l'adhésion de l'électorat. D'autant qu'aujourd'hui, on a une population électorale qui a complètement changé. On a des jeunes gens de 18-35 ans qui sont dans une forme de désenchantement pour toute la chose électorale et politique. Ce n'est pas exclusivement une problématique de gauche, c'est une problématique de la classe politique. Comment construire cette forme de ré-enchantement pour la chose électorale ? Pendant de longues années, on a démarché les gens sur leur identité, sur leurs peurs. On est convaincu que tant qu'on n'a pas quelqu'un dans le cercle du pouvoir, on ne bénéficie de rien, on n'est pas sûr d'avoir une route, on n'est pas sûr d'avoir une école, et c'est même le marketing qui est fait de ces choses-là. Vous l'avez bien dit, le constat est similaire du côté libéral de la scène politique, puisque les divisions au sein du PDCI et surtout l'absence prolongée de son nouveau président, Tidjane Thiam, ont fait perdre à l'ancien parti unique la moitié de ses députés en seulement cinq ans. La preuve, selon vous, que le parti peine à se remettre de la mort de son ancien chef charismatique, Henri Konan Bédié ? Est-ce que le parti est en capacité de se réinventer ? Qu'est-ce que le PDCI propose aujourd'hui ? Est-ce que l'on maintient cette forme de division ethnique de l'électorat, où on part du principe qu'il y a un électorat « akan » captif ? Je crois qu'aujourd'hui les gens sont en demande d'autre chose. Vous voyez, on a toute cette jeunesse qui se situe dans une sorte d'angle mort. On est sur l'idée d'un héritage historique, on est sur l'idée qu'il suffit d'un nom  important pour que les gens sortent voter. Cela ne suffit plus. On peut aussi parler du parti au pouvoir RHDP qui n'a jamais été aussi puissant. Mais là aussi, et malgré l'âge avancé du président Alassane Ouattara, aucune figure ne semble faire, pour l'instant, l'unanimité pour incarner un nouveau leadership. Dr. Sévérin Kouamé, n'est-ce pas là une page qui se tourne dans l'histoire politique ivoirienne, qui depuis 30 ans tourne essentiellement autour de Ouattara, Gbagbo et Bédié ? On voit toute la difficulté de la classe politique à trouver de nouvelles figures. Donc pour moi, c'est la crise d'un système, de ce modèle de gouvernance, de ce modèle de fonctionnement politique qui appelle à une autre démarche. Car la sanction, elle est déjà là : des taux de participation électorale complètement faibles, même dans les zones bastions. On n'a jamais vu autant de candidats indépendants se présenter à des législatives. Même s'il n'y a pas eu vraiment de miracle vu le peu de sièges qu'ils ont obtenu à l'Assemblée. Mais est-ce que finalement la nouvelle donne politique ne viendrait pas de cette jeunesse qui veut s'affirmer par ses propres idées, à la marge des partis, et aussi peut être par une société civile qui peine toujours à s'imposer en Côte d'Ivoire ? Je crois que ces jeunes gens ont le mérite d'avoir essayé. C'est des gens qui, en dehors du sérail politique, ont fait leurs preuves. On a des jeunes entrepreneurs qui ont fait leurs preuves auprès de la population. Lorsqu'on est en capacité de se construire à la marge et qu'on laisse des traces sur dix ou quinze ans, il y a de bonnes chances qu'on soit la personne que les populations adoubent à la fin à travers leur vote. Traditionnellement, le discours tenu aux populations est le suivant : "C'est le chef de l'État qui m'envoie ! C'est le chef du parti qui m'envoie!" Mais ces indépendants ont démontré que sans être des envoyés, pour parler comme les Ivoiriens, ils sont en capacité de s'envoyer par eux mêmes.

Part 1 of 2. OA 1229 - What happens when a government worker does you wrong? How is it different to prosecute and sue them? When does qualified immunity come in to play? We discuss the steps involved in prosecuting and suing someone for a simple battery, and how that differs for a regular person versus a state actor.

The process of understanding who we are is a lifelong journey for many of us. For two decades, that question has been one that University of Chicago scholar Eric Oliver has asked his students in class—and inspired him to write a new book called "How to Know Your Self: The Art & Science of Discovering Who You Really Are."A renowned political scientist, Oliver draws upon science, philosophy, psychology and his personal experiences to better examine the mysteries of the human experience—and explore what it truly means to be “you.” Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode, Jessica shares the breastfeeding journey she never expected. After a smooth birth at a birth center, feeding quickly became complicated: flat nipples, an early nipple shield, a missed first feeding window, a significant tongue tie, and a baby who grew increasingly sleepy and underweight. What followed was weeks of pumping, weighted feeds, donor milk, tongue-tie revision, and the ongoing effort to understand why breastfeeding wasn't working despite doing everything “right.”Jessica describes the emotional strain of those early weeks, from feeling inadequate to questioning her own anatomy, and the constant fear she was letting her daughter down. This conversation brings needed attention to the realities behind many breastfeeding challenges and the gaps that leave mothers without the support they need. **********Send us a text Needed

For The King - Week 3 - Why Is It So Difficult? by The Summit Church

People will hurt us, that's a fact of life. The question is, how do we respond? Even more challenging is the question of how to find true forgiveness and reconciliation when that hurt runs deep. Join us today in our study of Genesis 40-45 and learn from Joseph's example of forgiveness and reconciliation.  DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    What events in Joseph's life led up to these chapters? How did Joseph respond to them? Where did his ability to respond this way come from? Does your walk with the Lord reflect similar strength? Why or why not?  2.    What do you think of how Joseph responded when he first re-met his brothers? How might you have responded if you saw your brothers for the first time, decades after they sold you into slavery?  3.    The study explained that forgiveness is when we do not require a person to repay a debt. What debt did Joseph's brothers owe Joseph? Have you ever received this kind of forgiveness? Have you ever extended this kind of forgiveness?  4.    The study made a distinction between forgiveness and reconciliation. How are they different? How is this distinction helpful when working through complex and painful issues between us and someone else?  5.    How is Genesis 40-45 an example of the difficult work that goes into forgiveness and reconciliation? Why does Joseph have his brothers go through all these different tests? How did their responses demonstrate a true heart change in their lives?  6.    Joseph's brothers failed many of his tests, yet Joseph kept seeking reconciliation with them. Would you have been willing to put this much effort into it? Have you tried this hard to reconcile with someone? How did it go? 7.    How did Joseph respond when he saw the heart change of his brothers? How did this move them down the path toward true forgiveness and reconciliation?  8.    What spiritual principles can we learn and apply from Genesis 45:5 and Genesis 50:19? How might these two verses relate to our lives when we face difficulty and adversity? 9.    What was the outcome (short-term and long-range) of Joseph and his brothers being able to work through these issues and coming to a place of true forgiveness and reconciliation? How do we still enjoy the benefit of their reconciliation? Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis! Available on Amazon just in time for the Genesis relaunch in January!

Send us a textStrength without silence. That's the thread running through our conversation with Jeff Dill, a former battalion chief turned licensed counselor and the founder of the Firefighter Behavioral Health Alliance. Jeff has spent years validating firefighter and EMS suicide data, building workshops from real-world stories, and leading behavioral health efforts for Las Vegas Fire and Rescue. He brings hard-won clarity on what actually helps: simple language, daily habits, and policies that protect people when the job wears them thin.We break down the internal size up, a practical check-in that asks, “Why am I acting this way? Why am I feeling this way?” It helps catch irritability, isolation, and sleep loss before they morph into bigger risks. Jeff draws a vital line between PTSD and moral injury—showing how betrayal, guilt, and shame often sit beneath the surface while treatment chases fear and trauma. Forgiveness becomes a survival skill, not a pass for bad behavior, and we talk about how to practice it without forgetting or restoring unsafe trust.From there, we get tactical. Sleep debt, high call volumes, and 24-hour shifts push good people into impulsive decisions. Cultural brainwashing tells responders to be brave, strong, and self-reliant—until that story keeps them from getting help. We dig into the data, including surprising patterns among women in fire and EMS, and outline what a proactive program looks like: family education, annual mental health checkups, vetted clinicians outside insurance for privacy, real-time aftercare after tough calls, and telehealth to reach rural members. Leaders will hear budget-smart ways to protect training from the chopping block, and crews will gain language for checking on a partner without making it awkward.You can reach Jeff at the following websites:For the Firefighter Behavioral Alliance (FFBA), please go to: https://www.ffbha.org For the moral injury white paper, download it by clicking: https://www.ffbha.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Moral-Injury-White-Paper-2-9-23.pdf For the Firefighter Behavioral Alliance (FFBA) Facebook page, please go to https://www.facebook.com/FirefighterBehavioralHealthAllianceIf you're a firefighter, EMT, dispatcher, or cop—or you love someone who is—you'll walk away with tools you can use today and a clearer picture of how to build a healthier culture tomorrow.
