Ever felt like your faith was hanging by a thread—but you were too afraid to say it out loud?In this episode, I sit down with author, speaker, and spiritual guide Niki Hardy to talk about her newest book, God, Can We Chat?, and the freedom we find when we stop pretending everything's fine and bring our real questions to God.After walking through deep grief, spiritual burnout, and what she calls “death by a thousand paper cuts,” Niki realized that asking hard questions didn't mean she was losing her faith—it meant she was fighting for it.Together, we unpack:Why your doubts aren't dangerous—but actually essential to real faithHow to ask God hard questions without fear, guilt, or shameThe 5 lies we believe that keep us from honest conversations with GodThe CHAT framework to help you process pain with God (and not just about Him)Why Jesus gives you permission to wrestle, grieve, and not have it all figured outWhether you're grieving, burnt out, or secretly scared you're losing your faith—this conversation will remind you that God welcomes your questions and walks with you through the mess.✨ Quote to Remember:“God isn't intimidated by your questions—He's already holding space for them.”

May 18th, 2025 | Are You An Arbiter or Distributor of Grace? | Jonah 4Jonah's story could've ended neatly in chapter 3—rebellion, repentance, revival. But instead, we get chapter 4: a prophet angry at God, grace given to enemies, and a question that never gets answered.In this powerful conclusion to our Jonah series, Pastor Todd Kaunitz walks us through the unsettling ending of Jonah's journey and asks a question that hits close to home: Are you an arbiter of grace or a distributor of grace?Jonah wanted justice for Nineveh, not mercy. He was glad to receive grace for himself but furious when it was extended to people he despised. Sound familiar? Through this message, we're challenged to examine our own hearts—how we view our enemies, our comfort, and God's mission.Reflection Questions:Am I withholding grace from someone in my life?Do I secretly want people who've hurt me to “get what they deserve”?Am I more upset by discomfort than by the reality of lost souls?In this season of life, do I look more like Jonah… or Jesus?This episode closes Jonah's story, but it might open a new chapter in yours.

From the World Turtle to the Beast of Busco, join Seth, Heather and Aaron for a deep dive on all things giant turtles.  Email - Monsteropolis@smalltownmonsters.com SHOW NOTES: Monsteropolis - Turtle Town NEWS - We got a DISTRIBUTOR for Lost Contact lined up. Hey! This means you kids get to see it soon, along with some other stuff (right? Am I remembering this right?) that's not presently available (is this wrong?).    (At time of air) - Ape Canyon is screening at the Kiggins Theatre in just a few days! (5/22)    Heartland, Archives, Decoded, Appalachian, BTT all be going on. Finale for Paranormal Horizons! Head to Youtube. Go there now, you can do that while you listen. Hit that subscribe button. They'll all call you Subscribe-o   —   Monsteropolis: Turtle Town. A sub neighborhood of Monsteropolis, like Ape Street, Octopus Alley and Thunderbird Boulevard. Let's do these the whole show instead of the show. Bigfoot Borough. Turtle Town is a quaint little (big) neighborhood. And it's gotta be big, because it's full of real big turtles. Not Ninja Turtle big, those guys were big but like size of a bus big, eat your house big, ride across the ocean on their backs if you forged an unbreakable bond with them by saving their home land from a dragon big, stuff like that.    TURTLES are REPTILES. They live in the WATER, but they breathe AIR. They have SHELLS. What a WEIRD ANIMAL.    If you think about it, turtles are almost like their own cryptid already. Not as weird as the Platypus but still pretty weird. I mean. Shells? Some of them live to be super old too, like 100 years or so.    Intrinsic weirdness aside, there are a lot of legends and cryptid encounters associated with turtles.    THE WORLD TURTLE - Present in a lot of mythologies. Basically the idea is that the WHOLE WORLD sits on top of the back of a giant turtle. Turtle world. Turtle Planet.    The oldest version we know about seems to come from Hindu mythology. The god Vishnu appears in the avatar of a giant turtle named Kurma, which had a mountain on its back.    It also popped up, seemingly independently in First Nations lore, such as the Iroquois and Lenape, who portray it as a giant sea turtle.    It's cool to think of ancient societies observing the world around them and going, “Oh yeah, all this is on a turtle.” If you think about how they would have observed turtles in the wild, you know, algae and stuff growing on their backs, they kind of look like little models of earth.    Historians and scholars also talk about themes that would likely have been in play, such as longevity and continuation, which were important to some of the First Nations tribes and really have been important to human societies for most of history. People would have noticed that turtles lived a long time and also kind of represent security and strength. That's cool.    https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/world-turtle-cosmic-discworld   THE BEAST OF BUSCO - A big old turtle legend from Indiana. Local to Churubusco, Whitley County, Indiana, also referred to by the nickname Turtle Town, which I did not know when I tentatively named this episode. According to one online source, the nickname originally stems from ‘Little Turtle,' the name of a sagamore (chief) of the Miami tribe, but it's later become associated with the giant turtle sighting at Fulk Lake.   First sighting is said to come from 1898 by a guy named Oscar Fulk who spotted it on a large lake on his property. Like, really large, 7 acres apparently.  FIFTY YEARS went by. Then in 1948, two men named Ora Blue (that's a name right there) and Charley Wilson were fishing on the same lake, when they reported seeing a similar creature - just a huge, huge turtle, which they described as looking like a snapping turtle with huge spiky shell “the size of a dinner table,” and now all I can think about is Bowser from Mario Bros.  Gale Harris, who owned the property at the time of the second sighting, got really into the whole thing, and launched multiple expeditions to try and capture it, including one wherein he drained the 7 acre lake. They tried nets and damming streams and all kinds of stuff. They never found the turtle and it nearly bankrupted him.  The local media picked it up a few months after the Blue/Wilson encounter, and it became another Cryptozoological staple. Thrill seekers, monster hunters and now internet weirdos (like us!) became fascinated with the story, and it hangs around in the new millennium.  Turtle Brother is supposed to be around 500 pounds. Adult male alligator snapping turtles (the ones we know for sure exist) can hit over 200 pounds, so maybe Busco Boy was just a really really big turtle, but you gotta wonder how he got that big. By the same token, alligator snapping turtles aren't supposed to live in Indiana, so if it were one of those, it would represent its own anomalous encounter on par with Phantom Big Cats and other out-of-place animals. Some natural historians don't think they ever lived there at all, though specimens have been seen as close as the White River in Morgan County, as recently as 1991, but experts posit that this was likely an escaped or released domestic specimen based on its growth pattern. So, shrugging emoji.  https://www.iflscience.com/the-beast-of-busco-the-mystery-of-indianas-500-pound-turtle-sightings-75278 https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/could-citizens-of-this-indiana-town-have-seen-a-500-pound-turtle-180984659/ The Ogua - Another big old turtle guy but this one has two heads (sometimes)! Two head turtle, Turtle Two Head, Turtle Tim and The Two Headed Ogua, I don't know, this would make a great kids movie though. A lot of cryptid stories would make good kids' movies.  Anyway though, this guy shows up in Virginia and Pennsylvania and Ohioooooo, right near you guys. Aleghenny and Monongahela rivers apparently.  Did you, did you check for turtles? Turtle check? When you went outside today? Watch out for this guy because he's- Twenty feet long! That's longer than cars. 500 pounds. Does this seem too long? Like shouldn't something that long weigh more? Unless he's like a really slim cigar shaped turtle? I dunno, I'm not good at math, maybe somebody can figure out what a twenty foot long thing that's also 500 pounds would look like and draw it.  Story goes that in 1745 (before the Revolution) a giant two headed turtle jumped out of the river and ate a 12 year old boy who was fishing. Which is kind of how alligators and predatory turtles hunt you know, like hiding right under the surface. Bummer.  There are supposed to be sightings “all over Marion county” according to online sources but specifics are spotty. Did you guys SEE the Ogua when you were children? Were you WARNED not to get EATEN by two headed turtles? So could any of these guys actually exist? Maybe not the world turtle one unless we're just gonna decide that that's real. I like it so I'm good with it.  The biggest turtle ever known to exist was the Archelon Ischyros, a sea turtle that grew up to 15 feet long and was believed to weigh up to three tons.  See that's what I was saying earlier - something 20 feet long would need to weigh more than 500 pounds. BUT an especially large Alligator Snapping turtle could, maybe, possibly, be MISTAKEN for weighing 500 pounds, or maybe actually weigh close to that much. There are people who are way taller than the average person so it probably happens with turtles. It could be a whole thing where there just were some really big turtles hanging out in these areas and witnesses mistook them for being 20 feet long.  What they're doing in Indiana and Ohio though is another mystery.  Ultimately it's not a question of whether turtles this size/near this size existed - it's a question of whether or not one matching the anatomy of a snapping turtle could get this large, and if it could/did ever exist in some of these northern parts of the country, AND if they could still be hanging around in the modern day. We're essentially talking about dinosaurs here - should the “turtle cryptids” be thought of the same way we think about Plesiosaurs and other “surviving dinosaur” stories? Is this just too many questions?  We're also talking about behaviors really closely associated with gators/crocs (the ambush hunting) so maybe there were some stories about alligators that got mixed up and turned into stories about turtles, but that seems like a stupid guess now that I'm typing it out. And also alligators aren't supposed to be in Ohio or Indiana either.  SOME POP CULTURE REFERENCES - Plenty of giant turtles in Pop Culture. There's that Gamera guy, and the smaller Toho kaiju Kameobas from the cult film Yog: Monster from Space (Kameobas also shows up in Godzilla: Tokyo SOS, 2004). There's the giant turtle from Aladdin and King of Thieves, always liked that guy. The Pokemon Torterra is pretty clearly a take on the World Turtle idea (got trees and mountains on his back and in the Detective Pikachu movie he's the size of a mountain). There's this video game called Fortnite you may have heard of. Giant turtle in there as a part of the Oni/Ninja theme they did for season whatever it was - is that guy still around? I haven't played in awhile. He was cool though you could hide in the trees on his back and find really crappy shotguns and then get killed by a much better player who already figured out that's a bad strategy.  — Thanks for listening everybody! Come to the Ape Canyon screening, listen to The Lore You Know, and maybe by the next episode we'll figure out how to get Aaron out of here. You can (should!) subscribe to Small Town Monsters on Youtube, and if you liked this show, give it a rating or review! If you didn't like it don't. Enough people did that already. You're good.

Ross from Houston faces a common challenge in channel sales: how do you create brand preference for your product when you're selling through distributors who carry multiple competing lines and competitors who undercut your price? His company builds industrial dust-collection equipment and ducting, but they don't sell direct—meaning they rely heavily on distributors, contractors, and engineers to choose their brand over cheaper alternatives. Below, you'll find key insights on how to drive more “pull-through” sales to your channel partners and convince every stakeholder—from designers to installers—to pick your product. Why Pull-Through in Channel Sales Matters When you sell through distribution, you lose a lot of direct control. Your product is on the shelf (literally or figuratively) alongside competitors, and the distributor or contractor can often steer buyers toward any brand they choose. Pull-through happens when the end user, contractor, or engineer specifically requests your brand—making your distributor the middleman who fulfills the preference you created. Educate & Collaborate With Specifiers Ross' sales team already does lunch-and-learn sessions with engineering firms. Those engineers create the specs that contractors must follow, so if your product is “baked in” early, that's a massive advantage later when the contractor goes shopping. But the real test comes when the contractor or installer sees a cheaper alternative on the distributor's line card. Key Steps: Educate engineers on the deeper value and functionality of your product, so they'll insist on it in their specs. Collaborate with contractors. Even if they're not the final decision-maker, they can heavily influence whether your premium line or a cheaper knockoff is chosen. Brand Preference vs. Price Objections The toughest hurdle for a premium brand is the classic price objection. If the competitor's line undercuts you, how do you prove your extra value? Unearth the Real Cost of Going Cheap. Show specifiers and end users the Total Cost of Ownership—that cheaper or less-robust solutions can lead to higher maintenance, safety issues, or inefficiencies down the line. Highlight Success Stories. Gather testimonials or case studies from buyers who saved time, boosted reliability, or lowered total cost of ownership by choosing your brand. Create Tools and Guides. Develop clear documentation or ROI calculators that help buyers see beyond sticker price—especially useful if the distributor's rep isn't fully equipped to present your value. Dealing with the Distributor as a Gatekeeper You can do all the contractor or engineer training you want, but if the distributor's inside salesperson steers a buyer to a cheaper product, you still lose. That's why building the distributor relationship is non-negotiable. Action Items: Train the Distributor's Sales Reps. Show them exactly how to pitch your brand's advantages, from installation ease to long-term reliability. Reward Them for Advocacy. If possible, offer spiffs or incentives when they successfully sell your line. In some cases, highlight how your product can reduce their support headaches and returns, making their life easier. Co-Sell on Big Deals. Bring major opportunities to the distributor, or volunteer to go on key calls together. When you help them close deals, they become more loyal to you. Get Proactive and Strategic One pitfall in channel sales is that your rep can become just a “help desk” for the distributor—always fixing problems instead of actively driving new deals. But a proactive approach can turn that support into a competitive edge: Offer On-Site or Virtual Coaching. Whenever the distributor or contractor hits a snag, your rep steps in, demonstrating expertise. This builds trust and brand loyalty. Balance Support with Hunting. While your reps should help,

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Jenny Donnelly—pastor, author, and founder of Her Voice Movement and Don't Mess With Our Kids—to talk about how the Church can rise, speak up, and take back ground in the culture war that's targeting our children and families.

Jenny shares her experience from the front lines—leading prayer hubs in Portland, launching national events like MayDay USA, and mobilizing women and families to take real action.We talk child trafficking, gender indoctrination in schools, and how Christians can no longer stay silent.

In this latest episode of "Wine Talks," I engage in a lively conversation with Zack Armen, the passionate force behind Storica Wines. Zack shares his vision to bring Armenian wines to the forefront of the U.S. market, emphasizing the rich history and unique qualities of Armenian viticulture. The discussion dives into the logistical nightmares of wine importing ("I thought 'Hand Sell' was a type of wine!"), the importance of storytelling in building a brand, and the challenges and triumphs of introducing unique Armenian varietals like Voska hat and Adeni. Amidst the serious wine talk, we lighten the mood with tales of Zack's relentless drive, likening his years in the finance trenches to boot camp for budding oenophiles. I wrap up by emphasizing that wine's power lies in its story—because who wants to swap tales about the $5 bottle from the corner store? Not us!
