Matt understands that his drinking and past emotionally unsafe behavior created for Sheri triggers and traumas. Reaching that understanding was a slow evolution through years of curiosity and growth for them both. On this episode, the couple talks about progressing from, “I got sober for you. What more do you want from me?” through all the stages of awakening and awareness.

In this message, Nic continues the "Echoes" series by exploring a challenging aspect of our faith: Jesus as King. Drawing from the history of Israel and their complicated desire for a human king, Nic examines why we often try to solve spiritual problems with human solutions, effectively creating a "God Plus" mentality where we rely on external control—like finances, schedules, or security—rather than fully surrendering to God. Through the lens of Scripture, this talk highlights the contrast between the flawed leaders of history and the ultimate, sacrificial goodness of Jesus, inviting us to stop chasing the illusion of control and instead find true contentment by submitting to the one King whose reign is defined by love rather than power.

Fans of Batman are used to seeing the Caped Crusader associate with the likes of Superman and Wonder Woman, but what if one were to put the Dark Knight into the company of figures such as Beowulf, Robin Hood, Oedipus, and Sun Tzu, among others? Batman and the Classics: Echoes of Mythology, Literature and Philosophy in the Comics and Films (McFarland, 2026) is the first book to compare famous Batman graphic novels, story arcs, and films to classic texts of literature and philosophy from around the world. Through this comparison we can see, for instance, how the epic warrior archetype of Beowulf or Roland persists in The Dark Knight Returns, or how the metaphor of the journey, found in such works as The Odyssey, occurs in the story arc Knightfall. By placing Batman stories into conversation with such classic texts, this book sheds light on the deeper meanings of key stories of the Dark Knight, as well as how long-lasting themes of literature and philosophy have persisted in the fiction of this popular character.

CNBC's Senior Markets Commentator—and the show's first-ever repeat guest—on short selling, AI spending, market concentration, and why the bar is high for what's been working to keep working.Episode OverviewIn this episode of The World According to Boyar, Jonathan Boyar welcomes back CNBC Senior Markets Commentator Michael Santoli—the first repeat guest in the show's history, following his December 2020 appearance in the thick of COVID. Drawing on more than three decades covering Wall Street, Santoli breaks down his now-memorable on-air clash with Ryan Cohen over GameStop's bid for eBay, the return of meme-stock speculation, and the question hanging over everything: Is this market 2021, 1999, or something genuinely new?From AI capital spending and extreme market concentration to whether value and equal-weight stocks are finally due to lead, Santoli argues that today's extremes do not yet match the dot-com peak. But, as he puts it, being told by your doctor that “you're not literally the most unhealthy patient I've had in 30 years” does not mean “you're in great shape.” It's a clear-eyed, historically grounded read on the enduring mix of speculation and investment—what Santoli, invoking Buffett, calls “a casino attached to a church.”Key Topics Covered:Short sellers and the chilling effect: Why short selling is one of the most treacherous games in investing, the “alpha shorts” many hedge funds use, and why even legitimate short sellers have gone quiet.The Ryan Cohen/GameStop showdown: The backstory behind a tense, revealing on-air exchange over GameStop's bid for eBay—and what Santoli believes the Chewy-to-GameStop record reveals.2021, 1999, or both? The retail-trader empowerment of 2021, the narrow-leadership echoes of the dot-com peak, and Santoli's “unhealthy patient” analogy for today's market froth.AI spending and the hardware food chain: Why Santoli suspects the AI hardware complex may be overearning—and whether greater efficiency could eventually undermine today's hardware economics.Market concentration, reconsidered: Why a top-heavy S&P 500 may matter less than people fear—and how the bull case quietly shifted from “asset-light cash machines” to “asset-heavy, invest now, reap later.”Will value and equal weight finally lead? Why durable rotations do not happen “at a full gallop,” and what the October-to-February broadening did—and did not—prove.Why he doesn't pick stocks: How being restricted from owning individual securities became “liberating,” his “voluntary tax on the arrogant” take on sports betting, and his philosophy of staying involved while keeping expectations in check.The evolution of his CNBC role: From appearing on CNBC as a Barron's contributor to becoming a market “color commentator” and co-anchor of Closing Bell: Overtime—and where financial media is heading as the business shifts toward digital.The underreported story: The slow-moving demographic and global-population shifts—and the possibility that the Iran episode accelerates investment in renewables—that Santoli believes investors may be overlooking.About Michael Santoli:Michael Santoli is co-anchor of CNBC's Closing Bell: Overtime and the network's Senior Markets Commentator, with more than three decades of experience covering Wall Street. He began his career at Investment Dealers' Digest before moving to Dow Jones Newswires. He later spent 15 years as a columnist and feature writer at Barron's, where he wrote the Streetwise column, and was a Senior Columnist at Yahoo Finance before joining CNBC in 2015. A graduate of Wesleyan University, he lives in New York City.Unlocking Investment Opportunities Since 1975At the Boyar Value Group, we've dedicated nearly five decades to the pursuit of value on behalf of our clients.

Transcript: https://tinyurl.com/mwz3srve Ryan L. Cole (author of The Last Adieu) and Dr. Ed Bridges (ret. Director of the Alabama Department of Archives and History) recount the 1824-1825 visit of the Marquis de Lafayette to the United States, how his 3-month plan turned into a year-long stint as “The Nation's Guest,” and the social and political context surrounding his tour. Bridges focuses on Lafayette's whirlwind tour through Alabama and how lavishly the young frontier state welcomed him. The climax of Lafayette's trip was his laying of the cornerstone for the Bunker Hill monument on June 17, 1825.

What if the key to understanding the Bible is to read it like music? In this episode, we talk with Alastair Roberts about his book Echoes of Exodus, co-written with Andrew Wilson. He began this book as a 40-day Lenten reflection that grew into something much bigger. This episode provides a practical lens for reading Scripture by recognizing “echoes” — call-backs, allusions, and patterns — that link Exodus to the rest of the Bible's story of redemption. Exodus is the main theme that courses through the narrative of Scripture, connecting what may seem like isolated stories into an unfolding symphony of music. If you've ever felt lost reading the Old Testament and feel like the Bible doesn't make sense, this conversation gives you the tools to start hearing it that way.

When asked about the impact on a relationship when an intoxicated partner begs for or demands sex, and the coercion works because the drinker’s partner is trying to keep the peace, Amanda Dames tells Sheri and Matt that the dynamic damages trust. And the partner who agrees to unwanted sex is using her body to find or maintain safety. Amanda Dames is a sexologist, a somatic certified sex and relationship coach, and the host of the Kink Consultant podcast. This is a wide-ranging conversation about everything from sexual exploration to relationship recovery after trauma. Click here to link to the free guide Amanda mentions, and for all the resources on her website. Enjoy these insights from people comfortable crying in public. Please go to UntoxicatedSurvey.org to better understand the impact of alcohol and/or emotional abuse on you and your family. Whether you are the drinker or the partner, whether you feel a lack of emotional safety or don't really know what that means, we can help you feel supported. Take the survey and learn more about our Echoes of Recovery and SHOUT Sobriety programs. You've got this, and we've got you.

Have you ever felt undeniably stuck in a situation where you couldn't work, fight, or buy your way out? In this message, Amanda continues our Echoes series by exploring the powerful connection between the Exodus story and the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. By looking at the Passover lamb as a foreshadowing of Christ, we discover that just as God moved to rescue His people from physical slavery in Egypt, He has provided the ultimate way out for us today. Discover how Jesus acts as our final Passover Lamb and the Rescuer who rips the prison doors off their hinges, offering us true freedom from the patterns, shame, and fear that keep us trapped.

Josh Swihart is the founder of ZODL: the Zcash Open Development Lab. Basically a for profit reincarnation of the old Electric Coin Company, which inherited the dev teams and projects. During his previous Bitcoin Takeover podcast appearance in November 2024 (S15 E62), Zcash was a struggling privacy project with very little support and a rather disappointing price action. In June 2026, Zcash is the rising star of the cryptocurrency market, with plans to scale to billions of users and ever-improving shielding technology. In this episode, we talk about the good, the bad, and the controversial moments in the recent history of Zcash... and why Bitcoin didn't activate Zerocash yet.

In this segment, the hosts dissect breaking news regarding the Trump administration's newly announced framework negotiation with Iran. Expressing deep skepticism, the commentary draws sharp parallels to Barack Obama's 2015 JCPOA, labeling the current strategy a "disastrous" mistake and a total win for Tehran. The discussion covers Iran's demands for immediate cash through temporary sanctions relief and oil sales, while the U.S. receives nothing more than a superficial agreement to hold future conversations about enriched uranium stockpiles. The hosts also look at the internal political dynamics driving this shift—pointing fingers at the influence of JD Vance and Tucker Carlson, while noting Secretary of State Marco Rubio's conspicuous focus on non-Iran issues like Cuba and Armenia. Warning of inevitable retaliation, the commentary concludes with a stark reminder: no signed piece of paper will stop the Iranian regime, and only decisive leadership removal or strategic military action can truly neutralize the threat.

The giants of progressive rock never truly disappeared… their influence evolved. Join me this week for a journey through the musical bloodlines of Yes, Genesis, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, and King Crimson — explored through the music of modern bands who carry the spirit of those Architects forward while forging identities of their own.

Mark Ezzell, Director of the North Carolina Governor's Highway Safety Program, was in his early 20s when his father, Sen. Jim Ezzell, died on Capital Boulevard in Raleigh on the eve of session starting in 1991.   That loss not only changed Mark's life forever, it also created an opening in the North Carolina Senate for a young House member named Roy Cooper. But this story is about more than politics, it's also about perseverance and grace.   Senator Ezzell, who lived with cerebral palsy, and his wife made the intentional decision to adopt a child with a disability. At age eight, Mark was adopted from foster care and welcomed into a family that saw his potential, not his limitations. Born with spina bifida, Mark has spent his life navigating challenges from a wheelchair while building a successful career in public service, including his work today of preventing highway fatalities.   Plus, Skye and Brian unpack another busy week: state budget negotiations continue, a moratorium on certain property tax increases heads to Governor Stein's desk, political news, a state senator has his eyes on a mayor's office, and graduation ceremonies are getting out of hand.   The Do Politics Better podcast is sponsored by New Frame, the NC Travel Industry Association, the American Heart Association, the NC Pork Council, the NC Realtors, Heal the System NC, and the NC Healthcare Association.

On Friday, June 13th, 2008, just before 10 AM, an unknown assailant entered the Sundrop Bottling Company building in Concord, North Carolina.  Inside were three employees including office manager Donna Barnhardt as well as Darrell Noles, a local man applying for a part-time job.  During what police have called a robbery gone wrong, both Donna and Darrell were shot and killed.  The shooter then walked out of the building, jogged across the road and disappeared into the treeline of a wooded area.  He is alleged to have been carrying a box with him as he left the scene.Despite exhaustive search efforts launched by local and state police within twenty minutes of the crime, the killer escaped the dragnet.  For nearly two decades investigators have searched for the killer, although they believed they always knew who it was.  Following a full and thorough re-examination of all available evidence and leads, detectives from Concord in conjunction with Port Angeles police arrested forty-three year old Johnny Talbert in Washington.  He has been charged with two counts of murder and one count of robbery with a firearm.  He is currently awaiting extradition.Listen to Episode 114 - The Sundrop MurdersFollowTEPod.comFollow Trace Evidence on Social MediaTwitter --- Instagram --- TikTok --- YouTube --- Like Facebook Page --- Join Facebook Group --- Threads --- Like MeWe Page --- Join MeWe Group --- BlueskySuppport Trace EvidencePatreon --- Paypal --- Cash App --- Buy Me A CoffeeTrace Evidence Merch ShopsTeePublic --- ShopTEPod --- SpreadshopAll Other LinksOfficial Trace Evidence Website --- LinkTreeMusic Courtesy of:"Lost Time"  Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"Echoes of Time" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"Galactic Rap" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/#truecrimepodcast #unsolvedmysteries #coldcase #coldcaseinvestigation #murder #murdermystery #missingperson #missingpersons #truecrimecommunity #mysterypodcast #truecrime #coldcasefiles #truecrimestories #crimelovers #truecrimeaddict #truecrimejunkie #crimescene #justiceforall #missing #crimesquad #podcastcommunity #sleuthsunite #darkhistories #criminalmindset #detective #detectivediaries #forensics #forensicfiles #crimestories #crimepodcast #traceevidence #traceevidencepodcast #criminalinvestigation #justiceforvictims #detectivework #truecrimediscussion #podcastfamily #listenandsolve #crimefans #listentotraceevidence #uncoverthetruth #podcastrecommendations #podcastlove #podcastlife #truecrimeobsessed #followtheclues #cluefinders #podcastaddict #unsolvedmurders #unsolveddisappearances #detectiveatheart #jointheinvestigation #disappearance #vanishing #abduction #gonemissing #upandvanished #pacheco #stevenpacheco #podcasting #crimetalk #crimeanalysis #theories #donnabarnhardt #darrellnoles #sundrop #concordnc #concord #northcarolina #shooting #update #solved #arrested #johnnytalbert #talbertBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/trace-evidence--3207798/support.

All good things must come to an end—including our Mandalorian and Grogu coverage.This week, we're picking up the second half of The Mandalorian and Grogu with Embo's assault on the Nevarro cabin. Along the way, we listen for echoes of Star Wars past, from callbacks to Yoda on Dagobah to memories of Boba Fett's takeover on Tatooine. We discuss the Hutt succession plan (or lack thereof?!) and wonder how the New Republic plans to fill a massive power vacuum in the Outer Rim. Finally, we consider that the Mandalorian and Grogu's efforts on Nal Hutta may inspire a new wave of young heroes.Next week, join us for the premiere of Star Wars: Resistance!Timestamps:00:00:00 Who Are We?00:03:36 Plot Summary00:16:28 Echoes of Star Wars Past00:24:38 The Hutt Succession Plan, Or Lack Thereof00:46:57 A New Wave of Heroism00:58:02 Bae Watch01:05:47 Closing ThoughtsWant more Growing Up Skywalker?

For nearly 200 years, a lonely brick building in western New York has served as a poorhouse, asylum, infirmary, nursing home, and final resting place for thousands of forgotten souls. Tonight, we step inside the infamous Rolling Hills Asylum to uncover the heartbreaking history of Roy Crouse, the lonely spirit of Hattie, the legends of its dark tunnels, and the ghosts that may still wander its halls. Is Rolling Hills one of the most haunted places in America, or is it simply a place that refuses to let its past be forgotten?
