Welcome to a brand new year on the Beautifully Broken Podcast. In this solo episode, I'm reflecting on what mattered most in 2025 and what I'm bringing into 2026 with intention and clarity. I talk about the frustrations I've felt with the wellness world's obsession with quick-fix marketing, and how that led me back to the basics: digestion, cellular health, nervous system regulation, and real human connection.You'll hear the most impactful changes I made, like dialing back my supplements, leaning into bioavailable fats, ditching Amazon for Fullscript, and embracing "the year of the gases" with nanobubbled oxygen and Brown's gas. I share how I built a community around healing, hosted my first wellness event, and finally brought the Biological Blueprint Academy to life. This is a behind-the-scenes look at the principles that grounded me and the practices that restored me. And yes, it's all rooted in love, curiosity, and cellular integrity.  Episode Highlights[00:00] – Kicking off 2026 and calling out the marketing noise in the wellness world[02:00] – Simplifying supplements: how lab work shaped a leaner, smarter stack[03:50] – Fullscript vs Amazon: why sourcing and quality control matter[05:30] – Mago7, digestion, and the real-life wins that come from getting “regular”[06:45] – The year of gases: hydrogen, Brown's gas, oxygen baths, and what really helped my sleep[10:12] – Building therapies into daily life without stealing time[12:35] – CO₂ tolerance and breathing into cognitive clarity[14:00] – Beam Minerals and foundational mineral support[15:25] – Living the work: grounding, breathwork, cold exposure, red light, and temperature as medicine[17:51] – Genetics, mold sensitivity, and why foundational awareness is so powerful[20:14] – South Austin Wellness Project: hosting my first healing community event[22:36] – Access, advocacy, and why sharing healing tools is a mission, not a market[24:55] – New website, Substack migration, and podcast episode mini-pages[26:00] – A manifesto for 2026: depth over drip, principles over protocols[27:11] – The podcast as discovery: why this journey means everything to me Links & ResourcesSilver Biotics: bit.ly/3JnxyDD— 30% off with Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKENCathcBio https://www.catchbio.com/beautifullybroken— Code: beautifullybrokenStemRegn: https://www.stemregen.co/products/release?_ef_transaction_id=&affid=52&oid=1Beam Minerals: http://beamminerals.com/beautifullybroken— Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN CONNECT WITH FREDDIEWork with Me: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/biological-blueprintWebsite and Store: (http://www.beautifullybroken.world) Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/beautifullybroken.world/) YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@freddiekimmel Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Post-traumatic growth gets talked about like a mindset shift, but real change often starts somewhere else: the nervous system. In this episode, we explore why being around happy people can feel threatening, why "find the silver lining" pressure can lead to bypassing, and why growth is not the same as rushing to meaning. We also unpack the other trap: getting stuck in a healing loop that keeps re-entering the pain without creating new patterns. If you have ever felt ashamed for not "moving on" fast enough, this conversation offers a different map. In this episode of Trauma Rewired, co-hosts Elisabeth Kristof (founder of BrainBased.com) and Jennifer Wallace (Neurosomatic Psychedelic Preparation and Integration Guide) are joined by Matt Bush (Next Level Neuro, lead educator at NSI). Together, they break down what post-traumatic growth is (and is not), why connection and co-regulation are essential to healing, and how safety, repetition, and nervous system capacity create the conditions for authentic transformation. Timestamps: 00:00 Why "silver lining" pressure can trigger bypassing, and why happy environments can feel unsafe 06:30 What post-traumatic growth is (and what it is not), including the "toxic positivity" trap 14:30 Why trauma isolates, and why relational healing and co-regulation matter for recovery 23:30 Social bonding as a survival strategy: oxytocin, group rhythms, and threat reduction 34:30 Discernment in community: how to titrate connection and track nervous system outputs 45:00 Neuroplasticity and integration: why insight alone rarely rewires survival patterns 56:00 Practical integration for practitioners: frameworks, tools, and daily repetition for change   Key Takeaways: Post-traumatic growth is not about forcing gratitude or meaning. It often emerges after safety and capacity return to the body. Trauma can make connection feel dangerous, even when connection is what the nervous system needs to heal. "Good advice" can still be harmful when it is delivered before the nervous system is ready, especially around forgiveness and resilience. Healing can get stuck in two loops: performative "I am fine" masking, or compulsive re-processing that repeats intensity without building new patterns. Tracking outputs (sleep, digestion, pain, mood stability, compulsions) can reveal whether a practice is supporting regulation or creating more dysregulation.

In this extended episode of Hidden Wisdom, Meghan Farner offers a courageous and deeply grounded exploration of what it truly means to call the Bible “the Word of God.” Drawing from history, theology, mysticism, and personal discernment, Meghan invites listeners to approach scripture—especially the Old Testament—not as an inerrant divine transcript, but as a profoundly human record of humanity wrestling with God.This episode examines biblical authorship, political and cultural influences, polytheism in ancient Israel, the suppression of the divine feminine, and the role of ego, power, and hierarchy in shaping scripture. Meghan introduces the four levels of Hebrew interpretation, demonstrates how symbolic and mystical readings restore depth and coherence, and reframes troubling biblical narratives as invitations to inner transformation rather than external obedience.Ultimately, this episode is a call to spiritual maturity: to trust Christ, cultivate discernment, and allow God—not institutions—to be your primary tutor. For anyone studying the Bible this year, navigating faith transitions, or seeking a lived experience of the Divine beyond fear, this conversation offers clarity, permission, and profound hope.00:00 – 02:40 | Introduction and why this topic matters now02:40 – 04:00 | Why the Old Testament creates tension and confusion04:00 – 06:45 | Personal discernment and direct relationship with God06:45 – 09:45 | Projection, ego, and humans creating God in their image09:45 – 12:45 | The Bible as a human record—not divine dictation12:45 – 15:30 | Violence, fear, and misattributed divine commands15:30 – 18:15 | Ancient Israel's polytheism and the divine council18:15 – 21:40 | Spiritual evolution and changing views of God21:40 – 24:45 | Political power, Rome, and biblical curation24:45 – 27:30 | Loss of feminine wisdom and oral tradition27:30 – 30:45 | Asherah, goddess suppression, and missing feminine imagery30:45 – 34:15 | Excluded texts and erased mystical traditions34:15 – 37:00 | Four levels of Hebrew interpretation37:00 – 40:15 | Symbolism as the language of scripture40:15 – 43:00 | Cain and Abel as inner allegory43:00 – 46:30 | Discernment, humility, and spiritual maturity46:30 – 50:45 | Translation bias and priesthood hierarchy50:45 – 55:30 | Christ revealing the true character of God Thank you for listening to Hidden Wisdom!

Shealeigh Voitl and Andy Lee Roth join Steve to talk about Project Censored's State of the Free Press 2025. The book – an annual publication – compiles the year's most important yet underreported or misreported news stories, which they've identified through a student-led research process.Andy highlights the point that corporate news focuses on what went wrong today but ignores what goes wrong every day. “It's the difference between dramatic events and systemic problems.”The #1 underreported story is that of ICE soliciting private contractors to monitor social media for critics and assess their "proclivity to violence," a move toward normalized surveillance that received little corporate media attention.Steve and his guests also discuss broader themes, linking media patterns to cultural hegemony and manufacturing consent, where state and oligarchic interests align to shape public perception. Examples include coverage of Israel-Palestine, university crackdowns on pro-Palestinian speech, and the hiring of figures like Bari Weiss.Andy Lee Roth is editor-at-large for Project Censored and its publishing imprint, The Censored Press. He is co-editor of Project's State of the Free Press yearbook series, and a coauthor of The Media and Me: A Guide to Critical Media Literacy for Young People.Shealeigh Voitl is Project Censored's associate director. She helped develop the State of the Free Press 2024 teaching guide, the Project's Beyond Fact-Checking: A Teaching Guide to the Power of News Frames, and The Project Censored Show's forthcoming segment Frame-Check.Find their work at https://www.projectcensored.org/@ProjectCensored on X

In this week's More Than Conquerors, Terry and Reneé Mize address a vital question every believer must learn to ask: Is this harmless—or is it spiritually harmful?From attitudes and influences to entertainment, culture, and everyday choices, this message highlights the importance of discernment and guarding what we allow into our hearts and homes. Scripture reminds us that small compromises can quietly open doors we never intended to open.This teaching will help you sharpen your spiritual awareness, strengthen your convictions, and live with clarity in a world where right and wrong are often blurred.

Brian From is joined by Adam Holz of Plugged In for a thoughtful conversation about how Christians can engage popular entertainment with wisdom and discernment. They discuss the latest episodes of Stranger Things, including its darker themes, spiritual parallels, and a major coming-out storyline that raises important questions about grace and truth. The conversation also explores the religious symbolism in Knives Out and how films like these can become meaningful starting points for deeper family and faith conversations.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Warrior Mindset & Matthew 24 | BLTV-Y0001 Biblical Life TV | January 2026 Description This month, we begin a new ongoing series designed to help recalibrate our paradigms and think biblically in the days ahead. In this episode, Dr. Michael Lake explores why the Word of God is not merely a devotional book—but a war book, filled with divine concealment, spiritual discernment, and prophetic "bookends" from Genesis to Revelation. We walk through the mystery of Genesis 1:1–2, the meaning of tohu and bohu, and how the "dragon of chaos" and the "beast" imagery connect to Revelation 13 and even Matthew 24—revealing the enemy's strategy of escalating global chaos to prepare the world for a counterfeit savior. Along the way, we discuss false doctrine, false prophecy, persecution, lawlessness, and why the remnant must recover a warrior mindset and rediscover the gospel of the Kingdom.

Where in my life have I been accepting things at face value? What truths am I being invited to question, investigate, or see differently — even if it feels uncomfortable?2. When I sit with the collective challenges unfolding around me, where do I notice my heart softening rather than hardening? How am I being asked to love more bravely, more humanly, and more expansively this year?3. In what ways have I felt silenced, quieted, or unsure how to express myself? What is the new version of my voice that is emerging — and what wants to be spoken now that could not be spoken before?4. How does my body communicate with me when I slow down and listen? What does it need to feel safe, grounded, and supported as I move through change?5. Which beliefs, identities, or ways of seeing life are ready to dissolve? What broader perspective is opening for me — and how does this expansion change the way I relate to others and to the world? This is a public episode.

#192 - What I'm Carrying Into the New Year — And What I'm Finally Leaving Behind New Year's Eve has a funny way of making us feel like we should reinvent ourselves by midnight. New rules. New goals. New personality. Preferably someone who loves green juice and wakes up excited at 5 a.m. This episode is… not that. Instead, this is a pause. A breath. A moment to stand in the quiet space between what's been and what's coming—and ask a better question than “Who should I be next year?” In this reflective solo episode, I share what this past year taught me the long way around: that growth isn't about striving harder, fixing more, or optimizing your way into worthiness. The most meaningful shifts often come from removing pressure, listening to your nervous system, and letting go of identities that no longer fit. We talk about discernment over urgency, why discomfort isn't a problem to solve, how progress actually works (hint: it's not linear), and what it looks like to move into a new year lighter—not because you did more, but because you carried less. No resolutions. No hustle. No performative “new you.” Just honesty, integration, and intentions that actually make room for real life. If you've felt tired of pushing, quietly proud of how much you've grown, or like you're standing on the edge of something new—but slower and steadier than before—this episode is for you. In This Episode, We Explore: Why striving, optimizing, and “doing more” often block real healing The difference between urgency and discernment—and why it matters How listening to your nervous system builds real trust with yourself What to keep, what to release, and what doesn't need to come with you Why intentions work better than resolutions (and how to choose yours) How progress actually unfolds—even when it feels messy or invisible Time Stamps 00:00 – Why this episode isn't about goals, resolutions, or reinvention 02:00 – The quiet space between years—and why it matters 04:00 – When striving stops working (and what actually does) 06:30 – Discernment vs. urgency: learning to pause instead of react 10:00 – What I'm intentionally carrying into the new year 12:00 – What I'm finally leaving behind (and why discomfort isn't failure) 15:00 – Intentions over resolutions—and how to choose yours 18:00 – Moving forward lighter, calmer, and more grounded Where to Find Me You can connect with me, explore programs, and see what I'm up to outside the podcast here: Website: https://lisasmithwellness.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/prettywell_podcast

(Scroll down to download a free companion guide designed to help you more deeply process this episodes content.) In today’s episode, Carol is joined by author and Bible teacher Melissa Spoelstra for a powerful conversation about fear, spiritual warfare, and the God who reigns over both heaven and earth. Drawing from her new Bible study, Melissa helps us understand why the Bible talks about angels—not so that we’ll become preoccupied with supernatural beings, but so our view of God will grow larger, stronger, and more hope-filled. Together, Carol and Melissa explore what Scripture reveals about the unseen spiritual realm: angelic hosts, messengers, cherubim and seraphim, fallen angels, and even Satan. But more importantly, they highlight the character of the God who commands the angel armies, sets boundaries on evil, strengthens His servants through suffering, and offers refuge in moments of fear. This episode gently but boldly addresses questions many believers wrestle with:• What battles am I facing that I can’t see? • How do I fight fear without becoming fearful of spiritual warfare? • Why does God allow testing, and where is He when life feels heavy? • How do angels reveal God’s heart, His protection, and His authority? Through practical insight and biblical clarity, Melissa reminds us that although our battles are real, our God is sovereign, present, and victorious. We don’t fix our eyes on angels—we fix our eyes on the God who created them. And in doing so, we find the hope and courage we need for whatever we’re facing right now. Whether you’re wrestling with anxiety, fear of the unknown, spiritual attack, or simply longing to understand God’s supernatural care more deeply, this conversation will breathe peace and truth into your soul. Key Scriptures Discussed 2 Kings 6 – Elisha’s servant sees the chariots of fire• Hebrews 1 – Angels as ministering spirits• Psalm 91 – God’s promise of protection• Ephesians 6 – Our battle against spiritual forces• Luke 2 – God sends an angel to outcasts• Revelation – Angels in worship and judgment Themes Covered✓ Spiritual warfare without fear✓ God’s sovereignty over heaven and earth✓ Discernment, deception, and truth✓ How angels reveal God’s character✓ The limits God places on Satan Discussion/Reflective Questions: Where in your life right now does fear feel louder than your confidence in God’s reign—and what does remembering the spiritual realm change for you? Which aspect of God’s character, revealed through the ministry of angels, brought you the most comfort or clarity today? How have you sensed spiritual warfare in your thoughts, relationships, or emotions recently—and what truth about God’s authority helps you fight back? What lies or subtle deceptions tend to trigger anxiety for you, and how can Scripture help you recognize and counter them? When have you felt strengthened, protected, or supported by God in a way that you couldn’t fully explain? What did that reveal about His presence? What one step can you take this week to shift your focus away from fear of the enemy and toward a greater trust in the God who rules over everything?

December 28, 2025. Sunday Bible study with Pastor Cason Kelly.

In this episode we look at the importance of the use of God's word in testing the spirits or discernments received in our mind.  It is a spiritual war.  The enemy (Satan) seeks to deceive the world by taking God's word and slighting twisting it so that mankind does not find the power of putting faith in the purity of God's word.  We will look at the instructions God gives us establishing the word of God as being the foundation to this spiritual battle.  We also examine how the devil sought to deceive Jesus and the churches today.  Passages reviewed:  2 Corinthians 10:1-5;  Ephesians 6:10-18;  Acts 17:10-12;  Mathew 4:1-11;  2 Corinthians 11:1-4, 13-15;  Jude 1:3-4;  1 Timothy 1:3-7, 6:3-9.If you have any questions or would like to set up a conversation to discuss questions please email:  Warriors4ChristYT@gmail.com

If you've felt like reality is getting harder to trust in person, online, spiritually, emotionally, you're not “overthinking.” You're sensing a real shift. And in seasons where humanity is moving through massive amount of change, the first thing that gets targeted is a woman's discernment.In this final episode of 2025 of The Sovereign Sisterhood Movement Podcast, I break down what's shifting as we cross into 2026 and why discernment is about to matter more than ever.Not so you can fear the future because there is so to look forward to, so you can stay rooted in God as illusion and truth get blurred more than ever and discernment becomes non-negotiable.Because your sovereignty isn't paranoia. It's the Inner Sanctuary: a regulated nervous system, clear perception, and God-led authority from within.In this episode, you'll learn:-Why 2026 is a discernment era (AI, digital identities, blurred reality)-The meaning of the Saturn–Neptune conjunction at 0° Aries (Feb 2026) which hasn't occurred for 6,000 years marking the beginning of time -How Saturn and Neptune reshape the “containers” that define reality: time, language, systems, ideology-What trauma bonding actually is (activation → relief → attachment) and why it can masquerade as devotion-How healing and spiritual spaces create dependency (and how to spot it early)-The difference between devotion vs. dependency and how your body will tell you the truth-A Jesus Christ/Yeshua A Course in Miracles teaching on True Perception (Christ within you) and the 3 obstacles to peace as sovereignty in a noisy era-A simple discernment practice you can use in real time: “Is this increasing my inner authority or replacing it?”This is for the woman who knows: generational healing isn't an identity here it's an outcome. When your nervous system becomes safe enough to choose differently, what gets passed down changes.You're allowed to stop outsourcing safety.You're allowed to want God-led healing without guru culture.You're allowed to rebuild the Inner Sanctuary so peace becomes livable, not theoretical and so that peace is what gets passed down your lineage.

In this episode of Nephilim Death Squad, we sit down with Justin Brown of the Prometheus Lens Podcast to tackle one of the most disturbing and misunderstood verses in the Bible:“Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”What does that actually mean?We break down the biblical, historical, and supernatural context behind Esau, birthrights, garments of skin, Nimrod, giants, Nephilim bloodlines, and the ancient seed war that runs from Genesis to Revelation.Topics include:What “God hated Esau” really means (Romans 9:13)Esau, Jacob, and the seed war of Genesis 3:15Why Esau's birth matters more than his behaviorHairy men, giants, and ancient descriptions we ignoreNimrod, the mighty hunter, and forbidden garmentsGarments of skin, priesthood, and Edenic authorityExtra-biblical texts (Jasher, Targums) that fill key gapsNephilim bloodlines and why God commanded total destructionWhy some entities seek redemption — and why others can'tAliens vs demons through a biblical lensWhy modern Christianity avoids these passagesHow this connects to end-times deception todayThis episode goes far beyond surface-level theology and dives straight into ancient law, supernatural rebellion, and why the Bible says what it says — even when it's uncomfortable.If you've ever struggled with Old Testament passages, divine judgment, or the idea of God's election — this episode is required listening.✅ Guest Socials — Justin BrownJustin Brown — Prometheus Lens PodcastPodcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/PrometheusLensYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PrometheusLensFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/PrometheusLens00:00 Ancient Acts of Dominance and Biblical Context02:47 Introduction to Nephilim Death Squad03:21 Guest Introduction: Justin Brown of Prometheus Lens Podcast03:40 Justin's Journey into History and Scripture07:29 Esau: A Complex Biblical Character07:46 Exploring the Story of Esau and His Garments08:38 The Fascination with Giants and Nephilim43:06 The Birthright Exchange and Its Implications52:04 The Curse of Cain and Lamech55:41 Esau's Birthright and Jacob's Deception01:03:09 Nimrod, Nephilim, and the Serpent Seed01:24:17 The Garments of Power and Their Legacy01:46:35 Concluding Thoughts and Future DiscussionsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/nephilim-death-squad--6389018/support.☠️ Nephilim Death Squad — New episodes 5x/week.Join our Patreon for early access, bonus shows & the private Telegram hive.Subscribe on YouTube & Rumble, follow @NephilimDSquad on X/Instagram, grab merch at toplobsta.com. Questions/bookings: chroniclesnds@gmail.com — Stay dangerous.

Reflection on 3 key things about Divine Discernment:1. The LORD GOD discerns us2. We must discern ourselves (in the things of GOD)3. We must discern other spirits (according to the Spirit of GOD)

Before you lean in and read, take a moment to settle into your body. Take a few slow, deep breaths, extending your exhale a few extra seconds. Let your shoulders drop. Give yourself a moment to arrive in your space. ✨ Ponder…… “What am I ready to release and anoint as this year comes to a close?”The idea of being “hand-picked” or “destined for greatness” has a certain allure. We want to believe our purpose will be revealed to us, that we'll be graced with a special calling. However, this passive mindset can keep us stuck, forever hoping to be discovered.Authentic anointing, on the other hand, demands that we step forward and declare our own worth. It's about taking responsibility for our gifts, claiming our unique voice, and consecrating ourselves to our highest vision. No one can do this work for us - we must anoint ourselves.This may feel daunting, even arrogant. But it's the only way to catalyze the transformation we seek. When we courageously choose ourselves, we unlock an inner authority that transcends external validation. We become the vessels of our own sacred purpose.Being Anointed Isn't Passive – You Choose YourselfThe World of Scent: Holy Lessons from NatureAnimals live in a world defined by scent. Their survival depends on their ability to pick up the aroma of life, danger, food, and other creatures. This innate ability guides them through the world.Humans, on the other hand, often rely on sight, sound, and belief—tools that are powerful, but limited compared to the sensory richness of scent.The Spiritual Scent: The Fragrance of DominionAnointing is more than a symbolic act; it represents a “fragrance of dominion”—a spiritual frequency that all creation recognizes. Where animals sense the world through scent, the spiritually anointed carry an invisible signature: a powerful presence, a vibration of authority, life, and divine energy.This “spiritual scent” opens doors, commands respect, and grants protection in ways that words and appearances can't.But emotions like fear can mask this fragrance, distorting your spiritual signal and pulling you out of alignment with creation. That's why the process of anointing is also about recalibrating your internal state, aligning your frequency with the divine, and carrying that vibration into the world.Anointing: Ritual and Meaning through the AgesHistorically, anointing has meant the application of oil—signifying consecration or elevation into a new role or status. Spiritually, it's about being covered with the “oil of the Divine”—a frequency that conveys dominion and a status equal to the gods.This anointing shifts you at a cellular level, acting as a kind of spiritual “hazmat suit” that allows you to interact safely with higher realms and energies, protecting you from spiritual harm.This tradition has deep roots in Ancient Egyptian (Kemetic) spirituality. The ankh is the symbol for “life” or “breath of life.”The ancient had spiritual gatekeepers, ushering initiates through a process of purification called the Baptism of Fire. This baptism isn't about punishment—it's a refiner's crucible, burning away the ego and anything that keeps you from growth.Growth: The Balance of Challenge and NurtureTo grow, you need both challenge and rest. Opposition strengthens you; safety gives you space to heal. Walking the path of the anointed means balancing these two forces—embracing spiritual awareness (what the tradition calls “Heru's Sunship”) while remaining engaged in the world.Prophecy in a Modern AgeIn today's world, especially on platforms like YouTube, prophecy can sometimes lose its depth and integrity. The true intention of prophetic work is deep intimacy with the Divine, and its purpose is alignment, not entertainment.Authentic prophecy isn't about showing off or reinforcing personal agendas. It's about humbly sharing the heart and mind of God, and creating realignment—not manipulation. When prophecy is rooted in ego rather than Spirit, it loses authenticity and becomes a form of control.Discernment is vital.True prophetic leadership creates a mirror of the heavenly government structure on earth—what Christ called the “Eklesia,” and what we call positions like Apostle, Prophet, Teacher, Pastor, or Evangelist. These are functions for the purpose of collective guidance, not religious rank.A Time for Self-InquiryAsk yourself:What distracts me?What am I trying to prove?What am I afraid to lose or let go?What stands in the way of my spiritual vision?Bring these questions to the Divine and listen for the answers.If nothing comes through at first, that's okay. These questions work on you over time.In Closing Anointing, Dominion, and Living as an ImmortalAnointing isn't just a ritual; it's the receipt of a divine frequency—a kind of “OIL of Dominion” that aligns you with the divine. The anointed state is a state of spiritual immortality, carrying a fragrance that commands respect from creation itself.Ancient Kemetic symbols remind us that with Life (the ankh) and Dominion (the was scepter), the anointed one finds the power to break limits. Growth comes by balancing the opposing forces of challenge and nurture. This is the path to stewardship in the Golden Era: spiritual awareness united with effective, purposeful action in the world.All my love, Kassandra This is a public episode.

For you eleventh-hour Christmas shoppers out there, have I got a treat for you. There's a new book out from Loyola Press, the second volume in an increasingly essential collection of Ignatian spirituality readers. This one is, aptly named, “An Ignatian Spirituality Reader: Contemporary Writings on St. Ignatius of Loyola, the Spiritual Exercises, Discernment and More—Volume II.” The first of these volumes was crucial for my own formation in the Ignatian tradition, covering key topics like the life of St. Ignatius, tools for discernment and ways to pray in the Ignatian tradition. I quote this book all the time. That's why I was so excited to get my hands on this new volume. Some of those classic topics are there—discernment, Ignatius' life, and more—but we get chapters on racial justice, caring for the environment and the role of the imagination in the Exercises. We hear, too, from a wide ranging array of voices and experiences, adding to the richness of this edition. (I even have a chapter in there on the Two Standards and social media.) And so, today we're going to hear about this book from two of the editors who worked on it. But more importantly, we're going to hear why Ignatian spirituality continues to matter in our world—and what it has to offer this moment. Fr. Mark Mossa is a professor of religious studies at Loyola University of New Orleans and a Jesuit priest. He serves as program director of the Canizaro Center for Catholic Studies and is the author of “Already There: Letting God Find You” and “Saint Ignatius of Loyola The Spiritual Writings.” Lori Stanley is the executive director of the Loyola Institute for Spirituality in Orange, CA. She is the first layperson to hold the role. In 2020 she was appointed to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops anti-racism taskforce for the state of California, and is a collaborator with the Jesuit Antiracism Sodality and the Jesuit West Collaborative for Racial Equity. Both Lori and Fr. Mark are real founts of Ignatian wisdom—and I know you'll enjoy our conversation.

In this episode, I reflect on closing out the year grounded in family, faith, and obedience, and why my dad's sermon reminded me that with God, we don't just get one do-over — we get endless grace.I talk honestly about overgiving, discernment, and how sometimes helping people without boundaries can actually hurt us more than it helps them.Then I sit down with Funny Marco, and our conversation goes everywhere it needs to go — from gratitude and breaking generational cycles, to neurodivergence, parenting, empathy, money, and purpose. Marco shares raw stories about growing up with very little, losing his father young, learning how to be a present dad, and why he believes gratitude, not money, is what keeps him grounded. This episode is real, funny, uncomfortable, and deeply human — the kind of conversation that makes you stop and re-evaluate how you love, give, and show up in the world.Please leave a review , if this episode spoke to you!For exclusive bonus content, behind-the-scenes vlogs, a place connect with the LTTA FAM plus more, join the LTTA app community at LTTA.app and unlock your invite today!Audio Fam, since you listen to the audio every Monday, don't forget to go watch the YouTube on Tuesday!

Lately, we’ve been hearing many people publicly sharing their own biblical interpretations and what they believe the Bible really means when it mentions certain things. Is there really a heaven and a hell? Is heaven really forever?

We're talking about conspiracy theory fatigue — the way everything online lately feels so dramatic, divided, and honestly… draining. We're not saying you can't question things , but we're asking: at what point does it just become gossip, slander, or lowkey obsession? We touch on cancel culture, online accusations, Christian discernment vs. actual truth, and how we all need to be a little more humble when we “don't really know.” Kaleb even brings up the whole Beyonce conspiracy (lol wait 'til you hear that one).

This episode is all about discernment, how to practically decipher between emotions vs intuition, and staying in alignment no matter what. I also hit on emotional healing and how to "trust" God even when you don't get what you're trying to manifest/line up with.  Merch:  https://leoskepicollection.com Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/leoskepi https://www.tiktok.com/@leoskepi https://www.snapchat.com/add/leoskepi Substack:  https://substack.com/@leoskepi?utm_so...  My App Positive Focus: (Apple) https://apps.apple.com/us/app/positive-focus/id1559260311 (Google) https://play.google.com/store/apps/detailsid=com.positivefocusapp&hl=en_US&gl=US&pli=1 Business Inquiries: Team@leoskepi.com
