This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Long after the doors were sealed and the lights went out, some institutions refuse to fall silent. In this episode of The Grave Talks, we're joined by paranormal researcher, author, and former corrections officer Steve E. Asher as he takes us inside two of the most unsettling locations in American history: the Western Lunatic Asylum and the Kentucky State Penitentiary. Drawing on years of experience working within correctional facilities, Steve approaches the paranormal with discipline, structure, and method—treating each investigation not as a ghost hunt, but as a case file. What he uncovers is difficult to ignore. Shadowed figures moving through abandoned wards. Presences lingering behind prison walls built to confine both body and mind. A sense that some spirits remain trapped within the systems that once controlled them. Through firsthand encounters and carefully documented experiences, Steve reveals why places designed for isolation, punishment, and control may leave behind something far more enduring. Some buildings don't just hold history—they hold what history refuses to release. This is Part Two of our conversation.

John Anderson speaks with Ted Baehr, founder of Christian film review site Movieguide, to examine what contemporary film choices reveal about the moral instincts of society. Drawing on decades of data, Baehr challenges the prevailing narratives around the relationship between a film's content and its success. He argues that popular entertainment is quietly moving in a different direction from elite commentary, with films centred on family, moral clarity, and hope consistently outperforming darker and more transgressive content.This conversation traces the historical rhythms of Hollywood, from early moral storytelling to periods of decline and renewal. This is a grounded conversation that reorients the cultural debate around what audiences reward rather than what critics promote. Dr. Ted Baehr is Founder and Publisher of Movieguide: The Family Guide to Movies and Entertainment and Chairman of the Christian Film & Television Commission ministry, as well as a noted critic, educator, lecturer, and media pundit. His life's purpose is to be used of God to redeem the values of the media while educating audiences on how to use discernment in selecting their entertainment.

GLP-1 medications, TRT, and peptides are becoming common—but they don't change the rules of strength training. Learn how GLP-1s and strength training work together to preserve muscle, manage recovery, and train intelligently for long-term health. In this episode of Beast Over Burden, hosts Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson unpack how GLP-1 medications, TRT, and peptides are changing the coaching landscape—and what that means for strength training.

What You'll Learn in This Episode How GLP-1s and strength training interact in real lifters Why training on GLP-1 medications increases the need for muscle preservation Common fatigue, nutrition, and recovery challenges with GLP-1s How TRT affects recovery, training frequency, and progress Why first principles still apply—even with hormone support How coaches should think about programming for clients on GLP-1s or TRT The role of protein, resistance training, and bone density during rapid fat loss Why communication between lifter and coach matters more than ever How peptides fit into recovery—and where their limits are Why long-term quality of life should guide training decisions Timestamps 00:00 – Intro: Niki & Andrew set the stage 02:10 – The biggest shift Andrew has seen in 10 years of coaching 04:30 – What counts as hormone-influencing tools (GLP-1s, TRT, peptides) 07:20 – Why GLP-1 medications reduce appetite—and what that changes 10:45 – Training on GLP-1s: fatigue, low energy, and muscle loss risk 14:30 – Fat loss vs muscle preservation: why strength training matters 18:05 – TRT and strength training: the return of linear progress 22:40 – Recovery, frequency, and why TRT doesn't remove limits 26:15 – Peptides, recovery, and optimization myths 30:10 – Coaching clients on GLP-1s: why honesty matters 34:25 – Nutrition priorities when appetite is suppressed 38:10 – Bone density, muscle mass, and aging well 42:00 – First principles that never change 46:00 – Final thoughts: tools don't replace training 48:10 – How to work with a Barbell Logic coach Key Takeaway GLP-1s, TRT, and peptides may change the training landscape—but they don't change the map.

Netflix has a price, but what's the cost of what it does to you? Raghunath and Kaustubha riff on Oscar Wilde's brutal truth—people know the price of everything and the value of nothing—and trace how modern consumption can quietly make the mind coarse, restless, and spiritually numb. They then turn to the 10th Canto of the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, reading radiant verses of Kṛṣṇa's Vṛndāvan pastimes—scripture meant to purify the heart and elevate consciousness from crude appetite to the highest spiritual taste. Drawing from Bhagavad-gītā 2.57 and Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura's explanation of Dhenukāsura as the ass-like mentality of gross sensuality—overcome by Balarāma as guru-tattva—they show why the greatest wealth in life is finding guidance that reveals the true value of spiritual life, and seeking it with real intensity. ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST?

Why would God choose such a young woman to be the mother of Jesus? Kaitlyn Schiess reflects on Mary's age, vulnerability, and social position, and why those details matter so much in the Advent story. Drawing from Luke 1, they explore how God consistently works through surprising people, why Mary's response is so different from Zechariah's, and what this teaches us about faith, doubt, and trust. Mary shows us that faithful waiting isn't about doubting whether God can do this, but about asking how we are meant to participate.   0:00 - Theme Song   1:42 - Why Did God Choose Someone So Young?   6:33 - Cultural Marriage Norms   12:21 - Sponsor - Aura Frames - Need a holiday gift to share memories?

Should parents teach kids to be defiant? In this Facing the Dark episode, Wayne and Dr. Kathy respond to a growing cultural narrative that suggests children need to practice defiance in order to become confident, assertive adults. Together they unpack the difference between healthy self-advocacy and arrogant rebellion, explaining why confidence doesn't come from saying "no" loudly, but from knowing when and how to speak with wisdom. Drawing on biblical insight, the Five Core Needs, and real parenting examples, this conversation helps parents guide kids toward courage, discernment, and self-efficacy rooted in truth, not impulse.

High achievers often feel the quiet ache of “I don't feel like myself anymore.” This episode explores why success can lead to identity drift and emotional exhaustion — and how to gently return to yourself through Identity-Level Recalibration.High achievers rarely talk about the subtle moment they begin to lose themselves — long before burnout, long before breakdown, long before anything looks wrong on the outside. This episode uncovers the quiet emotional exhaustion beneath high performance: identity drift, role confusion, decision fatigue, and the pressure to stay “on” even when your internal world feels scattered.Drawing from psychology (neuroception, interoception, identity performance) and the lived experience of countless high-capacity humans, Julie Holly reveals why your nervous system keeps adapting into older versions of you — and how that disconnect creates the ache of success without fulfillment.You'll learn:• why neuroception keeps you bracing even when the room is safe• how last week's interoception work helps you interpret what your body is saying• what “identity performance” looks like in real, everyday moments• the emotional cost of being the reliable one, the steady one, the strong one• why high achievers don't lose themselves — they adapt to survive expectations• how the triangle of interoception, neuroception, and identity performance keeps you “managed” instead of present• why this isn't burnout — it's identity misalignment• the first gentle step back toward your true selfMicro Recalibration (for individuals + teams)Ask yourself:“Where am I editing myself to match expectations that no longer apply?”Then notice:• What part of me gets quiet?• What part of me steps forward instead?• What would 2% more truth sound like in those moments?Team Extension:“What unspoken expectations shape how we show up — and what would shift if we valued presence over performance?”If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

Many children struggle with fears that seem to spiral out of control—whether it's natural disasters, illness, or other “what if” worries. In this episode, Elizabeth Urbanowicz explores how parents can help young children respond to fear and anxiety in ways that align with God's design. Drawing from both Scripture and research, she explains how addressing both the physical and spiritual aspects of anxiety equips children to rest in what is true and grow in confidence and trust in God.Resources mentioned in this episode:The Anxious Generation by Jonathan HaidtLet Grow Parent Kit Foundation Worldview's Attributes of God Curriculum - Foundation Worldview Podcast episodes on The Anxious Generation

Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/855B Duane Hada joins Chad Johnson for a thoughtful conversation on what actually creates trophy trout fisheries—and why stocking alone isn't the answer. Duane breaks down the importance of catch-and-release regulations, managing pressure, and letting fish live long enough to reach their full potential. Drawing from rivers like the White River and the San Juan, he explains how conservation-first thinking shapes not only fish size, but the long-term health of entire fisheries. Beyond fishing, Duane opens up about his life as an artist and how creativity, patience, and observation carry over from the studio to the river. He talks about seeing fisheries as living "gardens," the influence of Dave Whitlock on both his conservation mindset and artistic outlook, and why mentorship—on the water and off—matters just as much as catching fish. This episode is about legacy, restraint, and approaching both art and angling with intention. Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/855B

In this episode of the Mixing Music Podcast, Dee Kei and Lū wrestle openly with one of the hardest and most misunderstood ideas in creative life: commitment. Not hustle. Not motivation. Not blind discipline — but the deeper question of why committing feels so heavy, especially in a world full of options, anxiety, and burnout.The conversation moves between mixing, relationships, career choices, and philosophy, contrasting Western goal-driven culture with Eastern ideas of alignment, duty, and craft. Dee Kei explores why overthinking and outcome-clinging create paralysis, how burnout often comes from committing to the wrong reasons, and why meaning in art and life emerges through commitment, not before it.They discuss the paradox of choice, perfectionism, nihilism, and why there is never a “perfect time” to make art, choose a path, or finish a mix. Drawing on personal stories, Japanese craftsmanship, sports analogies, and cultural contrasts, this episode isn't about giving rules — it's about helping listeners think differently so committing feels less terrifying and more natural.This one is for creatives who feel stuck, burned out, or afraid to choose — and for anyone who suspects that the answer isn't more thinking, but committing anyway.SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PATREON FOR EXCLUSIVE CONTENT!⁠SUBSCRIBE TO YOUTUBE⁠Join the ‘Mixing Music Podcast' Discord!HIRE DEE KEIHIRE LU⁠HIRE JAMES⁠Find Dee Kei and Lu on Social Media:Instagram: @DeeKeiMixes @MasteredbyLu @JamesParrishMixesTwitter: @DeeKeiMixes @MasteredbyLuThe Mixing Music Podcast is sponsored by ⁠Izotope⁠, ⁠Antares (Auto Tune)⁠, Sweetwater, ⁠Plugin Boutique⁠, ⁠Lauten Audio⁠, ⁠Filepass⁠, & ⁠Canva⁠The Mixing Music Podcast is a video and audio series on the art of music production and post-production.

Dr. Mindy Pelz returns to explore the deeper meaning of aging, menopause, and the profound psychological and neurological transformations women undergo as they grow older. Drawing from neuroscience, anthropology, mythology, and personal experience, Mindy reframes menopause not as a decline—but as an initiation into wisdom, sovereignty, and inner authority.We discuss the concept of the “second innocence,” the pruning and rewiring of the female brain across hormonal transitions, the grandmother hypothesis, and why modern culture fears aging women. Mindy shares how trauma, grief, solitude, and uncertainty can become gateways to resilience, neuroplasticity, and self-discovery—especially when women stop outsourcing their worth and begin listening inward.Boost your hydration with Pique Life Tea (20% off here):https://www.piquelife.com/knowthyselfAndrés Book Recs: https://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com/book-list___________00:00 Intro - Dr. Mindy Pelz03:39 The return to the second innocence08:18 What's the purpose of menopause?16:09 Where the shift begins23:04 Supporting others without abandoning yourself31:57 Being considerate vs owning others' emotions34:14 Ad: Pique Life35:55 The power of solitude43:26 Letting go52:48 From power over to power within56:48 The brain architecture of wisdom1:02:24 Transformation: From a caterpillar to a butterfly1:19:58 Fasting during menopause1:26:35 Knowing when and how to detox1:32:31 Healing through breathwork, EMDR, psilocybin1:45:12 Lacking a support system1:49:07 Closing thoughts___________Episode Resources: Her new book: https://bookshop.org/p/books/age-like-a-girl-why-the-brain-changes-that-happen-after-40-set-you-up-for-your-best-life-yet-dr-mindy-pelz/1d7c0fe95ab52c4f?ean=9781401975562&next=thttps://www.instagram.com/dr.mindypelzhttps://www.drmindypelz.com/https://www.instagram.com/andreduqum/https://www.instagram.com/knowthyself/https://www.youtube.com/@knowthyselfpodcasthttps://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com

We live in a culture that hates to wait. Lines, delays, silence, and stillness all feel like problems to solve instead of places to meet God. In this episode, John reflects on how Advent invites us to do the opposite: to slow down, to wait, and to let the Lord work beneath the surface of our busy lives, even in seasons of suffering like his father's recent cancer diagnosis. Waiting exposes our fears, idols, and false escapes, and how God uses it to strip away unhealthy self-reliance and grow patience, humility, obedience, and trust. Drawing from Scripture, the lives of Mary and Joseph, he discusses concrete ways to step back from distraction and become more receptive to the grace God wants to give in these final days before Christmas.

Lionel leads a powerful and painful examination of addiction and recovery. Callers share harrowing personal stories, including a mother's success after cutting off a son addicted to heroin, and a father's struggle with a son dependent on crack and molly. They debate whether addiction is a disease, a conscious choice, or linked to genetics. Drawing on science, the discussion highlights the neurological basis of chemical dependency, referencing dopamine receptors and brain imaging that reveals addiction's effect on the brain, described sometimes as "starvation". Also explored are the unintended consequences of strict pain medication laws driving patients to heroin, the potential of Ibogaine as a cure, and the often-misunderstood realities of drunk driving, including the bizarre formality of field sobriety tests.

In this episode, Church history and doctrine professor Casey Paul Griffiths discusses his book The Four Loves and the Latter-day Saints: The Nature of Love in All Facets of Our Lives. Drawing on C.S. Lewis's framework and restored gospel teachings, he explains the four forms of love—familial, friendly, romantic, and divine—and why understanding their differences matters for Latter-day Saints. Professor Griffiths highlights the limitations of the English phrase "I love you," noting how it carries multiple meanings that other languages express more precisely. He teaches that distinguishing between these types of love deepens our understanding of ourselves, our relationships, and God. Using scriptural and prophetic insights, he shows how divine love forms the foundation of all human connections. Throughout the episode, Griffiths offers practical ways to apply each form of love, helping listeners strengthen marriages, friendships, families, and their relationship with God. Ultimately, the conversation provides an inspiring look at what it means to love as Christ taught and how a clearer grasp of the "four loves" can elevate every relationship in our lives.

What did the apostle Paul mean when he listed “the working of miracles” as a spiritual gift in 1 Corinthians 12:10? If God can perform miracles through any believer who prays and acts in faith, why does Paul distinguish this ability as a unique gift of the Spirit?In this episode of Apostolic Life in the 21st Century, Dr. David K. Bernard unpacks Paul's teaching on the working of miracles, explaining how this gift operates, how it differs from the general exercise of faith, and why God distributes spiritual gifts according to His purpose. Drawing from Scripture as well as contemporary examples, Dr. Bernard offers clear, practical insight into how miracles function within the body of Christ today.Whether you're exploring spiritual gifts for the first time or seeking deeper understanding, this episode provides a thoughtful, biblically grounded look at an extraordinary gift.See Dr. Bernard's book Spiritual Gifts for more on this topic.

Alan explores the state of prevention in dentistry, inspired by his constant sense of smelling periodontitis everywhere. He argues that while the profession talks a good game about prevention, its core focus remains surgical intervention. Alan stresses that the success of dental health hinges on the 363 days of patient home care outside the office, yet dentists often fail to properly educate patients on effective techniques beyond generic instructions to "brush and floss." Drawing on insights from hygiene experts, he calls for a radical shift to front-load prevention—moving past a reliance on periodic exams to actively equipping patients with the customized tools and knowledge needed for effective, daily self-care.

Drawing from more than 20 years of comprehensive cosmetic dentistry, Dr. Eshom reveals why extraoral photography—not intraoral cameras, not radiographs—is the single most effective tool for building trust and helping patients clearly see the value of comprehensive care. Together, they break down a step-by-step new patient workflow that seamlessly blends diagnostics with psychology, showing how simple point-and-shoot photography placed at the beginning of the exam can elevate patient engagement, differentiate your practice, and eliminate the pressure-based communication styles that leave patients feeling skeptical or overwhelmed. Dr. Eshom explains how co-diagnosis—rooted in permission-based dialogue and visual storytelling—helps patients recognize their own conditions, understand consequences, and ask for solutions rather than being sold to. This episode dives into: The most overlooked use of photography in dentistry: real-time conversation with the patient How to structure a new patient visit that fosters trust, clarity, and long-term case acceptance Why facially generated treatment planning is so effective—especially for patients who "never knew" what their smile looked like Communication strategies that shift patients from an "insurance model" to a value-driven mindset How simplifying photography (yes, even with an iPhone or point-and-shoot) makes comprehensive exams dramatically more effective What to say—and not say—when presenting conditions to avoid making patients feel judged or pressured How this method empowered Dr. Eshom to build a fully fee-for-service practice and drop every insurance plan This conversation is practical, strategic, and deeply grounded in human psychology. If you want a proven communication system that elevates your new patient experience, improves case acceptance, and builds lifelong patient trust—all without feeling salesy—this episode will reshape how you practice.

Your goals aren't the problem; your accountability system is. We explore the real reason 90-day plans gather dust and outline a practical path to turn written intentions into shipped work. Drawing on years of helping founders grow and scale, we break down how clarity, cadence, and community combine to create dependable momentum—even when motivation dips.First, we get honest about why self-accountability alone stalls progress. Without external feedback, it's easy to lose sight of what moves the needle, extend deadlines quietly, and confuse motion with results. We reframe accountability as guidance, not guilt, and show how small, consistent wins build the confidence and energy to keep going. From defining a single measurable 90-day outcome to choosing three lever tasks that drive it, you'll learn how to create focus that survives daily noise.Then we unpack the three pillars of real accountability. Pillar one: a clear, shared goal so collaborators can help you ignore distractions. Pillar two: simple, reliable check-ins that track shipped work and surface roadblocks early. Pillar three: community and collaboration, where peers offer models, troubleshoot bottlenecks, and help you turn overwhelming projects into doable steps. We talk through picking an accountability partner whose strengths complement yours and how to use short weekly touchpoints for maximum effect.Finally, we walk through the structure of a mastermind that keeps founders executing: recurring meetings, hot seats for targeted problem-solving, and a culture that celebrates completions. You'll leave with a lightweight system you can start today and a playbook for finding the right room to grow. If your plan has been waiting for a spark, this is the match.If this resonates, subscribe, share the episode with a builder who needs it, and leave a quick review to help more entrepreneurs find the show.

In this episode of Behind the Prop, Bobby Doss and Wally Mulhern unpack one of the most persistent and underestimated threats in aviation: cockpit distraction. Drawing from both historical airline accidents and modern general aviation trends, they explore how small lapses in attention can escalate into major safety events. The hosts revisit the tragedies of Eastern Airlines Flight 401 and United Flight 173, where professional crews became so focused on minor gear-indicator issues that they stopped flying the airplane—proving that distraction, not mechanical failure, can be the true killer. With the NTSB attributing 15–20% of GA accidents to distraction, the need for proactive management has never been clearer.The conversation moves into the cockpit realities of today's pilots, where heavy reliance on iPads, automation, and touchscreen avionics often leads to excessive head-down time. Bobby and Wally share recent examples from training flights where pilots missed radio calls, misprogrammed GPS units, or became task-saturated simply because tech drew their attention away from flying. They emphasize the importance of preparing devices and routes before takeoff, and using automation deliberately rather than reactively. A key takeaway is that pilots must be willing to self-identify errors, speak up immediately, and assume the mistake is theirs until proven otherwise—a mindset that dramatically improves safety margins.The episode also highlights the critical role of the sterile cockpit, with Bobby advocating its use below 2,500 feet in GA. The hosts explain how nonessential chatter during taxi, takeoff, or climb dilutes situational awareness and can overwhelm newer pilots. They encourage instructors to reduce excessive talking as students advance, creating the “intentional silence” needed for real concentration and independent decision-making.Finally, Bobby and Wally address a commonly misunderstood distraction: open doors during takeoff or initial climb. They explain why an open door is typically benign, why rejecting a takeoff is often riskier, and why pilots must train for these scenarios before facing them unexpectedly.The episode closes with a call to action—pilots should openly discuss distractions, log them, review them, and build habits that keep them anchored to the core principle of aviation: aviate, navigate, communicate.

In today's episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros challenge how most people think about fulfillment and why chasing the wrong thing leads to long-term dissatisfaction.

What happens when conscience collides with command? We dig into the duty to refuse illegal orders, why “just following orders” isn't a shield under U.S. military law, and how real-world pressures push service members toward compliance even when red flags are waving. Drawing on the Nuremberg legacy and the Uniform Code of Military Justice, we lay out the reasonable person standard, the gray zones operators face, and the information gaps created by tempo, classification, and deference to the chain of command. The debate isn't abstract. We tackle drone strikes and maritime interdictions that occur far from declared battlefields, where targets are labeled threats without due process and legality is assumed rather than tested. We also unpack the political firestorm around lawmakers telling troops to refuse unlawful orders, the backlash from prominent figures in Washington, and why specificity matters if you want to help real people making life-or-death choices under orders. From there, we turn to Gaza and the West Bank, mapping how a “truce” can mask a harder reality on the ground: concentrated control of land and water, constrained aid, and an approach to settlement and displacement designed to be incremental and quiet rather than spectacular and condemned. We examine the strategic logic behind slow-motion annexation, the global signals that enable it, and the human consequences that follow—especially for families facing medical collapse and shrinking horizons. It all connects to a single theme: accountability. A credible military requires lawful orders and the courage to refuse unlawful ones. A sustainable foreign policy demands consistency between values and actions. If this conversation challenged your assumptions or gave you a clearer framework for thinking about duty, law, and Gaza, share it with a friend, subscribe for future episodes, and leave a review with the one question you still want answered.

In this powerful and timely message, Prophetess Barbara Calloway delivers A Word for the Remnant—a clarion call to those who have remained faithful in uncertain times. Drawing from 1 Kings 19:9 and 1 Timothy 4:1, this sermon exposes the demonic agenda, confronts spiritual isolation, and calls believers back to truth, accountability, and perseverance in God.If you've ever felt like you were “the only one left,” hiding in a cave while the world shifts around you, this word is for you. Be encouraged, challenged, and strengthened as the Lord speaks directly to the remnant.#AWordForTheRemnant #ProphetessBarbaraCalloway #TheRemnant #EndTimeWord #BiblicalTeaching #SpiritualAwakening #KingdomTruth
