In this episode, Sathiya sits down with Seth Gruber, founder of the White Rose Resistance, to explore the deeper spiritual and cultural issues behind abortion, pornography, sexual addiction, and the degradation of human dignity. Drawing from Scripture's concept of the “high places,” Seth explains how idolatry, sexual perversion, and child sacrifice are connected to the cultural battles facing the church today. Together, they examine how the abortion and pornography industries can reduce human life and sexuality to commodities, why the church must be willing to confront these issues rather than remain silent, and how spiritual compromise contributes to cultural decay. Seth also shares his personal journey from being a homeschooled teenager in Los Angeles who faced censorship for wanting to discuss abortion to becoming a pro-life activist, filmmaker, and advocate committed to challenging the church to live out its biblical convictions. This conversation offers a sobering look at the spiritual battles shaping modern culture and a call for Christians to respond with courage, truth, and conviction.    SATHIYA'S RESOURCES: Free Recovery Book (The Last Relapse) Join the brotherhood (DeepClean Inner Circle) Live Training To Quit Porn For Good   SETH'S RESOURCES: The White Rose Resistance The Last Stand book   Timestamps: 00:02 Introduction to the episode's focus: freedom from pornography, abortion, human rights, and cultural sexuality. Host introduces the guest, Seth Gruber, setting the tone for a deep, challenging conversation. 02:39 Seth's personal story begins; his exposure to graphic first-trimester abortion images and the impact this had on his understanding of abortion beyond common perceptions. 07:58 Discussion on the church's failing role in confronting evil such as pornography and abortion, emphasizing how many Christians have forgotten their mission and sometimes unknowingly enable societal decay. 09:56 Explanation of the “high places” from the Old Testament where idolatry, sexual ritual abuse, and child sacrifice occurred, paralleled with modern cultural evils. 12:46 The legacy of “good kings” in Israel who failed to remove the high places, leaving a metaphor for today's church tolerating sexual immorality and abortion. 15:11 Linking contemporary evils: pornography, abortion, sex trafficking, and the commodification of children through reproductive technologies, highlighting systemic cultural problems. 19:23 Theological reflection on divine judgment connected to baby killing and sexual perversion, citing Psalm 106 and God's severe response to such societal sins. 24:20 Historical turning point in 1973 with Roe v. Wade legalizing abortion nationwide, alongside the removal of obscenity laws enabling pornography; Seth ties these to a spiritual “demonic trinity” of Moloch, Baal, and Ashtoreth. 25:04 Presentation of J.D. Unwin's research, showing how civilizations that codify total sexual freedom collapse within a century, framing modern Western culture's trajectory as potentially doomed. 50:07 Practical exhortation encouraging men to battle personal sin first—especially pornography addiction—and then join cultural resistance movements. Seth stresses accountability, spiritual battle, and community activism as necessary steps.  

Follicles not responding? Cycle cancelled? Told it is your low AMH? Book a free Functional Fertility Second Opinion before your next IVF decision → fabfertile.com You have done the injections. You have gone in for monitoring. They may have increased the medication already. And then you hear it again. The follicles are not responding. There are one or two growing. Maybe the cycle gets cancelled. Maybe you make it all the way to retrieval and get one egg. When you ask why, the answer comes back the same way every time. It is your low AMH. It is your age. You are a poor responder. Those are real factors, and I am not going to tell you the AMH does not matter. But if you are about to put your body, your finances, and yourself through another cycle, there is a bigger question worth asking. Is low AMH the whole explanation? Because these are two separate statements: I have diminished ovarian reserve, and low AMH explains everything that happened during that cycle. They are not the same statement. In this episode I walk through what AMH does and does not tell you, what I would want to understand about the 90 days before stimulation started, and what to ask your clinic before you go again. The full thyroid panel, including antibodies rather than TSH alone. Blood sugar and how it moves across a day. hs-CRP and unnecessary inflammation. Vitamin D you may be taking and may not be absorbing. Gut health, food sensitivity, the vaginal microbiome, nutrient status, and an autoimmune issue that gets mentioned as an afterthought when it belongs at the front of the file. CHAPTERS 00:00 The follicles are not responding 01:00 About Sarah and the team 01:20 What AMH does and does not tell you 02:00 Two statements that are not the same 02:20 The 90 days before stimulation started 02:40 hs-CRP and unnecessary inflammation 03:00 Optimal, not normal 03:20 Blood sugar regulation across the day 03:30 The full thyroid panel including antibodies 03:50 Nutrient depletion and secondary infertility 04:10 The vitamin D you may not be absorbing 04:30 An autoimmune issue is not a by the way 05:00 A clean diet that may not be the right diet for you 05:30 Hypervigilance and nervous system load 06:20 One client who did not have enough follicles to qualify 06:40 What I am not claiming 08:00 Annie and Miles. AMH 0.15, FSH 33 08:40 What Your Clinic Missed 09:00 What to ask before another IVF 09:40 Thirty days without medication, and doing this in parallel 11:00 Book a Second Opinion with your partner WHAT YOUR CLINIC MISSED If you have no idea which of these markers to run, we have a checklist called What Your Clinic Missed. It is a list of markers worth reviewing before a donor egg decision or before another IVF, so you can look at your own results and go from there. Email hello@fabfertile.ca with MISSED in the subject line and we will send it to you. FUNCTIONAL FERTILITY SECOND OPINION Book with your partner and load your labs into the secure portal. Before the call I review your fertility history and bloodwork from both partners, looking for patterns, unanswered questions and gaps. We are not diagnosing. Sometimes the review confirms that moving forward with the next IVF makes sense. Sometimes there are questions worth addressing first. Book your call with your partner at fabfertile.com If you want to know whether the call is right for you first, email hello@fabfertile.ca with FERTILE in the subject line and tell me a little about your situation. ABOUT THE HOST I'm Sarah Clark, founder of Fab Fertile and host of Get Pregnant Naturally, a podcast with over one million downloads. My functional fertility team works with couples navigating low AMH and failed IVF, reviewing functional lab results, gut microbiome, food sensitivity, vaginal microbiome, nutrigenomics, HTMA, DUTCH, toxin testing, and bloodwork alongside nervous system work, to help identify patterns that may not have been considered.

I just wrapped my second call week of the year, and honestly, getting older has made overnight pages so much harder than they used to be. At 30 I could wake up from a dead sleep and immediately have a coherent medical conversation, and now, ten years later, I basically have to be walked through who I am and what hospital I'm even at before I can function. I also tell the story of getting completely lost in a big Portland hospital after hours, which honestly just confirms the stereotype that ophthalmologists get lost in hospitals.  Then I get into something a lot more serious: my latest deep dive into hospital administrations behaving badly, this time at Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center in Medford, Oregon. Nine neonatologists, an incredibly stable, highly skilled group who'd been building this NICU program for two decades, were told in January they were being let go, with shifting and frankly contradictory explanations from the hospital. I walk through the timeline, including the hospital's decision to bring in a private equity-backed locums staffing company, a VP's misleading public comments about the firing, and the deleted panel video that followed once I called it out. I explain why I keep making these videos, even when people ask what the point is, because these decisions affect real patients, and communities deserve to know why their care is changing. Takeaways: Turns out being a doctor and getting woken up at 3 AM hits different in your 40s than it did in your 30s. Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center fired all nine of its neonatologists in January despite the group having no departures since 2021 and meeting national quality benchmarks. The hospital's stated reasons for the firings shifted over time and were contradicted by a hospital VP's own public comments about ongoing retirements. Locum staffing companies are typically meant to bridge short-term staffing gaps, not replace an entire well-functioning department, and often cost hospitals significantly more per hour than the doctors they're replacing. Physicians who raise patient safety concerns internally can face professional and legal pressure that discourages them from speaking publicly, even after losing their jobs.

After Jason Arday, the second biggest topic of conversation has of course been the rise of the neuro-grifting guru. And for good reason! Neuroscience has been causing confusion lately. What is the hippocampus up to in there? Is your pre-post-medial-cerebrum-corta-bellum even working properly? What does neuroscience say about whether you should start each day with a slap in the face? Being incapable of answering these questions ourselves, we're bringing on bonafide neuroscientist and substacker Tommy Blanchard to help us navigate this terrain. Check out Tommy's website and substack, Cognitive Wonderland. We discuss Models of decision-making in neuroscience The common currency model What do we actually know about the brain? What constitutes an explanation in neuroscience? What neuroscience is put on a pedestal Neuro-grifting Gurus, aka Huberman et al.

You keep replaying the conversation. Not because you don't understand it — but because you do. Sometimes you already know what happened. The real conflict isn't figuring them out. It's what the truth would require you to do about it. In this episode, I unpack how compassion — for someone's history, their pain, their good intentions — can quietly become a sophisticated form of self-abandonment... In this episode: Why you replay conversations you've already figured out The difference between explaining behavior and excusing impact How compassion, taken too far, becomes self-betrayal The one question that moves you from stuck to clear: not "Why did they do it?" but "What does this pattern require of me now?" "Explanation doesn't erase impact. You're allowed to hold both." — Take the free QUIZ - What's Your Communication Under Pressure Style? 

This sermon examines the genealogy from Shem to Abram in Genesis 11, emphasizing that history is moving purposefully toward Christ rather than being random. The preacher contrasts human short-sightedness with God's multi-generational vision, illustrating how divine promises persist across generations despite human failure and idolatry. By analyzing the lineage and the context of the Tower of Babel, the message highlights God's steadfast love and His commitment to redeeming humanity through the line of Abraham. The speaker encourages believers to adopt a long-term perspective, urging parents to invest in their children's spiritual legacy with hope rather than despair. Ultimately, the transcript asserts that God orchestrates history to fulfill His covenant promises, offering comfort and direction for future generations. Outline: 1) Explanation: 10 Generations from Noah to Abram 2) Application: History is Going Somewhere A) Covenant Theology B) Multigenerational Vision

Three people disappeared under circumstances no one has ever explained. A man runs out of a Bulgarian airport and vanishes into a field of sunflowers, leaving his passport and phone behind. A young woman survives a car crash on a dark New Hampshire road, then disappears in the nineteen minutes it takes police to arrive. A fourteen-year-old boy plans a trip to London down to the smallest detail, then walks out of a train station and is never seen again. These cases span three countries and three decades, but they share the same unsettling gap: a clear trail right up until the moment each person disappeared, and nothing after.

What if the thing you've been calling strength is actually keeping you stuck? In this episode of Visionary Womenpreneurs, Donna Lynn Price sits down with Barb Varci Smith — trauma recovery educator, therapist, speaker, and creator of The Ascendance Method™ — to explore one of the most important concepts high-achieving women need to understand: Fake Resilience™. Fake Resilience™ isn't weakness. It's actually a sign of how capable you are. But when achievement, productivity, perfectionism, and caretaking become survival strategies rather than genuine wellbeing — something has to shift. Barb brings over two decades of experience and a unique systems-thinking background to make complex trauma concepts practical, relatable, and actionable. She believes — deeply — that one healed adult can change generations. If you've ever wondered “If I'm doing so well, why do I still feel stuck?” — this conversation is for you. In this powerful conversation, Donna and Barb unpack why so many high-functioning women feel exhausted and disconnected despite outward success — and what to do about it. Barb introduces Fake Resilience™ — the hidden survival pattern that masquerades as strength — and walks us through the 5 Pillars of Self from The Ascendance Method™: inner strength, self-love, wisdom, intuition, and purpose. She explains why trauma isn't what happened to you but how you adapted in response, and how understanding those adaptations is often the missing link between awareness and lasting transformation. The conversation also touches on Barb's background in technology and systems thinking, the Steps of Ascendance™ framework, and her vision for a movement that creates healing ripple effects across families, communities, and generations. This is an episode about coming home to yourself — and building a life and business from that place. 3 Key Lessons 1. Fake Resilience™ Is Not a Character Flaw — It's a Survival Strategy. The women who look the most capable from the outside are often the ones most quietly running on empty. Fake Resilience™ shows up as exhaustion, numbness, overthinking, perfectionism, and hyper-independence — and it's so normalized in high-achieving women that most don't recognize it. Authentic resilience feels different. It comes with energy, joy, and alignment. 2. Trauma Is an Explanation, Not an Excuse. Trauma isn't what happened to you. It's how you adapted in response. Those adaptations were intelligent — they kept you safe. But they're running on outdated programming, and until you understand them, they keep driving the show. By restoring the 5 Pillars of Self — inner strength, self-love, wisdom, intuition, and purpose — women move from juggling survival strategies to living and leading with genuine agency. 3. One Healed Adult Can Change Generations. The ripple effect of one person's healing is extraordinary. When you shift your own patterns, the impact extends beyond you — into your relationships, your parenting, your clients, your community, and the generations that follow.  Connect with Barb:Website: ⁠https://your-steps.co.uk⁠Podcast: Way Out of Childhood Trauma  Upcoming Book: Purposeful Parenting: Applying the Ascendance Method™ to Family Life Are you a woman entrepreneur who's been doing all the right things but the growth just isn't coming?

On the show this week, I answer a listener question about restricted stock units, or RSUs—what they are, how they're taxed, and the best strategies for managing them as they vest. I'll take an in-depth look at different types of vesting schedules, tax implications, and the practical choices you have when your RSUs become available. This episode is all about giving you clear guidance to help you make informed decisions about RSUs and making sure your retirement strategy is on the right financial track.   You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... 00:00 Explanation of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) 04:19 How stock vesting works 05:14 RSUs are treated as ordinary income when they vest  06:52 Understanding RSU Tax Withholding 11:36 Investing in Index Funds 12:58 Matching investment decisions to risk tolerance and goals    Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) RSUs represent a promise from your employer to deliver company stock or a cash equivalent in the future once certain conditions, called vesting requirements, are met. These conditions are designed to incentivize and retain employees, ensuring that you benefit as the company grows and performs well.   RSUs usually vest in one of three ways:   Time-Based Vesting: The most common approach, where shares vest gradually over a specified period. For instance, a 4-year vesting schedule for 1,000 RSUs would typically see 250 shares vest each year. At ESPN and Disney, a 3-year vesting schedule is standard, with shares vesting twice annually—in the summer and fall.   Performance-Based Vesting: Shares vest only if certain targets are met, such as revenue goals or profit margins. Some grants only vest if multiple targets are reached.   Liquidity Event-Based Vesting: Common in private companies, where shares vest after events like an IPO or a company merger. If you leave your employer before shares vest, you lose any unvested RSUs—a strong incentive to stay.   How Are RSUs Taxed? When RSUs vest, the value of the vested shares is treated as ordinary income, just like your regular salary. This income is reported on your W-2 and is subject to federal, state, and payroll (FICA) taxes. Social Security taxes apply up to a certain annual earnings cap ($184,500 in 2026), but Medicare taxes continue regardless of income. To cover your tax liability, employers usually sell enough shares on your behalf (a "sell-to-cover" transaction). For example, if 100 shares vest and 20 need to be sold to cover taxes, you'd end up with 80 shares. Employers typically withhold taxes at a 22% rate; if your annual compensation exceeds $1 million, the withholding rises to 37%. Many employees find themselves under-withheld, especially if they move into higher tax brackets, and may need to adjust their W-4 or set aside additional funds to avoid owing at tax time. What Are Your Options When RSUs Vest? Once RSUs vest, you have several paths forward:   1. Hold the Shares Some employees hold their RSU shares, believing in the long-term prospects of their company. This approach can create significant wealth if the stock outperforms, but it also concentrates risk—especially if your job and sizable net worth are tied to the same company.   2. Sell Immediately Selling your shares right away locks in your gains, minimizes risk, and frees up cash to fund other goals, like buying a house or paying for college. Just be cautious about spending it all; ensure you're saving enough for long-term needs.   3. Sell and Reinvest Sell your RSU shares and reinvest the proceeds in diversified assets, such as index funds (e.g., S&P 500 or total market funds), or bonds if you have a lower risk tolerance. This strategy provides broader market exposure and can reduce the risk inherent in holding too much of a single company's stock.

Have you ever done everything you knew to do... and still watched life fall apart?Maybe you've prayed. Stayed faithful. Trusted God. And yet you're left wondering why the pain didn't stop or why God feels silent in the middle of it.This Sunday, we continued our series, This Verse Changed My Life, by stepping into the story of Job – a man who knew what it was like to lose everything, ask hard questions, and wrestle with God's silence.We discovered that even when we can't see what God is doing, He is still present, still faithful, and still at work. Sometimes the greatest transformation doesn't come from getting all the answers–it comes from encountering God in the middle of our questions.Tune into this week's message, “Something Better Than Explanation”!Join us for service online or in person every Sunday at 8am, 9:30am, 11:15am, & 5pm (C&V Service).Connect to Captivate! - https://shorturl.at/nKxQuDownload the Captivate App to Stay Connected! - https://shorturl.at/5PfXPIf you want to share how God is moving in your life through this ministry, please let us know at info@captivatesd.com!Decided To Follow Jesus?

Dr. W. Matthews Grant—one of my greatest philosophical inspirations—served as an external examiner for my dissertation defense. Apparently, he didn't beat me up enough the first time, so he returned to the podcast to finish the job. (Okay, it wasn't really that combative. He just wanted to continue our conversation about the dissertation. : ) This was a fun, productive, and wide-ranging discussion. We get into divine simplicity (obviously), God as the ultimate foundation of reality, the principle of sufficient reason, epistemology, metaethics, and more. Consider this Dissertation Defense, Part II. ; ) For more philosophy content, head over to my Substack at https://journalofabsolutetruth.substack.com/

Rebecca Bloom is a former employee benefits and executive compensation attorney who spent more than 25 years helping women navigate cancer, work, insurance, disability coverage, and financial survival. She is the founder and author of When Women Get Sick, a book built from decades inside the legal, workplace, and patient advocacy systems most people only discover after diagnosis.Bloom started in Big Law at Simpson Thacher handling employee benefits and compensation work she originally chose to pay off student loans. Then her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. Suddenly the language she used in corporate law offices became the language of survival at home. Explanation of benefits forms. Coverage disputes. Second opinions. Disability protections. Medical leave. Bills no one could explain.That collision changed the direction of her life.In this episode, Bloom explains how serious illness quietly turns patients into unpaid administrators managing paperwork, logistics, financial risk, and emotional labor while trying to survive treatment. She breaks down how employer based health insurance shapes nearly every aspect of cancer care in America and why women often carry the invisible burden of protecting everyone else from discomfort while they themselves fall apart.The conversation digs into workplace power, the illusion of the healthcare “safety net,” caregiver exhaustion, and the class divide hiding underneath patient empowerment culture. Bloom explains why educated, insured women with resources still struggle to navigate healthcare bureaucracy and what happens to patients without those advantages.This episode explores cancer care, health insurance, employee benefits, patient advocacy, workplace protections, caregiving, and the structural incentives that force sick people to become project managers of their own survival.RELATED LINKSRebecca BloomWhen Women Get SickBay Area Cancer ConnectionsSimpson Thacher & BartlettFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Derrick Warfel, author of “UFOs and God,” joins Marc Cox and Dan Buck to explore what UFO and UAP revelations could mean for Christian faith. Warfel explains why he believes the phenomenon is not extraterrestrial, but connected to the supernatural realm described in the Bible, including fallen angels and spiritual warfare. They also discuss government disclosures, alleged crash retrievals, the possibility of life elsewhere in the universe, and whether churches are prepared for future UAP revelations.

It started with footsteps coming from an upstairs bedroom.The sounds were impossible to ignore—heavy pacing from a room that should have been empty. Every time someone investigated, they found nothing. No person. No fallen object. No explanation.What makes this story unsettling isn't the footsteps themselves. It's the fact that multiple members of the same family experienced them separately for years, never realizing they were all hearing the exact same thing.The mystery only grew when they noticed the activity seemed connected to one particular room—and one particular child.Even the family skeptic eventually ran out of explanations. And when he finally decided to do something about it, the footsteps stopped for good.#RealGhostStories #ParanormalPodcast #HauntedHouse #GhostStory #UnexplainedFootsteps #ParanormalExperience #TrueGhostStory #HauntedHome #ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight #SupernaturalEncounterLove real ghost stories?
