This week Alex travels to Minneapolis to see first hand how the community is responding to the terrorizing presence of ICE and the killing of ICU nurse Alex Pretti. She shines a light on the grassroots efforts of mothers mobilizing to help both students and teachers who fear being targeted, and speaks to Reverend Dan Johnson about how his congregation has been impacted as well the very un-Christian nature of this administration's tactics. Then Alex sits down with Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison to talk about how President Trump's rhetoric contributed to the attack on Rep. Ilhan Omar, whether judicial interference can stop the federal government's overreach, and why access to voter rolls is an issue at the center of this crisis.

Episode Overview: In this deeply insightful episode, Jean explore how religious language impacts survivors of childhood sexual abuse. The conversation intricately examines the interfaces between trauma, faith, and the body—challenging common assumptions and inviting listeners to consider the nuanced ways reassurance can help or hinder real healing. ' A brief note for transparency, the structure of this interview was created with the support of AI. While the insights and answers you'll  hear are Jean Dorff's own.' What's Covered in This Episode: - The Body's Response to Disclosure:   Jean shares what happens at a nervous system level when survivors hear religious reassurance after disclosing abuse. Sometimes reassurance is calming, but other times it creates subtle pressure, making survivors feel responsible for the listener's comfort. - Metabolizing Meaning Beyond the Mind:     The hosts discuss why meaning-making isn't purely cognitive—the body itself must have safety and regulation in order to integrate new understandings, especially after trauma. - Moral Labeling and Identity Injury:   Jean reflects on how moral labels (e.g., "dirty," "whore," "bastard") inflict lasting harm, fusing selfhood with trauma and making certain religious reassurances unintentionally reinforcing of shame. - Gender Differences in Trauma and Faith:    The discussion highlights how men and women experience religious frameworks differently in the wake of abuse, with men often lacking permission to recognize harm due to cultural ideals of masculinity. - The Collapse of Belief and Its Impact:    The episode examines what happens when survivors, especially those abused by clergy, lose faith—not only in doctrine but in their communities—leading to significant declines in mental health unless they find safe spaces for doubt. - Threshold Moments and New Meanings:   Jean describes the vulnerable stage when old beliefs fall apart but new ones aren't formed yet, arguing this moment, if properly supported, is pivotal for authentic healing. - Trauma-Informed Spiritual Support:   The conversation centers on ethical, non-directive presence: not pushing for quick resolution, but offering space for survivors' own meaning to develop with safety in mind. - Relief vs. Vitality:     Differentiating between temporary relief (which keeps survivors functioning) and true vitality (which brings a return of aliveness), the episode underscores the importance of moving beyond easy answers. - A Key Reframe for Faith Leaders and Clinicians:     Jean leaves listeners with an essential message: "Religious language is not neutral–it's an intervention. Meaning must follow safety, not precede it." Pausing for safety is where true healing begins. Key Takeaways: - Timing matters: The impact of religious reassurance depends on the survivor's readiness and sense of safety. - The nervous system leads: Healing unfolds when the body is allowed to guide the process, not just the mind. - Authenticity over performance: Survivors need the choice to question and rework their beliefs at their own pace. - Ethical restraint: Faith leaders' ability to tolerate uncertainty is more healing than immediate explanations. Memorable Quote: "Meaning must follow safety, not precede it. If we understood that, much secondary harm would stop—not because faith disappears, but because people learn to wait." – Jean Dorff Thank You for Listening This episode is a must-listen for survivors, clinicians, faith leaders, and anyone interested in trauma and spiritual care. Jean remind us that genuine support comes from presence and patience, not premature reassurance. *The Empowering Story Podcast will be here when you're ready to return.*

A roller-coaster week for religious freedom in Australia.In just days, sweeping Australian national legislation moved from deeply alarming to not great, but not terrible — after intense pressure from faith leaders across the country.In this special bonus episode of The Pastor's Heart, we speak with Michael Stead, Bishop of South Sydney and director of Freedom for Faith, who had a front-row seat as the law was debated, amended, and finally passed late at night in Parliament.What was originally proposed? Why did faith leaders unite in an extraordinary last-minute letter to the Prime Minister?  Which parts of the bill remain concerning — and which dangers were narrowly avoided?We walk through how the law was actually made — and what it now means for preaching, Bible teaching, protest, and free speech in Australia.Read the Faith Leaders letter. https://bit.ly/faith-leaders-letterThe Church Cohttp://www.thechurchco.com is a website and app platform built specifically for churches.  Anglican AidTo find out more about supporting Anglican Aid.

Rachel Maddow shares recent examples of prominent members of the clergy speaking out against Donald Trump's abuse anti-immigrant tactics and his belligerent foreign policy, and talks with Cardinal Blase Cupich, archbishop of Chicago, about defending immigrant members of his community and Donald Trump's dismantling of the moral role the U.S. plays in the world.Rachel Maddow reports on a growing number of towns and communities that are speaking out and standing up to Department of Homeland Security plans to open ICE detention and processing facilities to take in immigrants being arrested in federal raids. The rejection of ICE facilities fits into a bigger picture of pressure being put on companies and organizations that have become tacit ICE resources, from Avelo Airlines conducting deportation flights, to Home Depot allowing arrests of day laborers in their parking lots.Rachel Maddow shares photos of a giant replica of the naked woman birthday doodle that appears to have been from Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein on his 50th birthday. The replica is meant to commemorate Trump's relationship with Epstein as Epstein's birthday approaches. Want more of Rachel?

More Latter-day Saints struggle with religious OCD, or scrupulosity, than we often realize. For those who face it, obsessive anxiety can twist gospel living into a cycle of fear and toxic guilt, and many even mistake that guilt for promptings from the Spirit.In this episode, therapist Annabella Hagen helps us understand what scrupulosity is, how it shows up in our culture, and how we can stay connected to God without letting fear take over. We also talk about how families and leaders can offer better support, when it may be time to seek professional help, and how to discern between the Spirit and anxiety.For anyone interested in joining Annabella's FREE Online OCD Support Group for Members of the Church or the one for All Faiths, they can request to be added to the email list by contacting hope@mindsetfamilytherapy.com The Faith Leaders' Guide to Scrupulosity OCD pamphlet (PDF): https://mindsetfamilytherapy.com/books/downloads

On this episode of the podcast, Matthew Faraci breaks down President Trump's historic meeting with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, a onetime jihadist turned head of state. As al-Sharaa seeks global legitimacy, nearly 100 faith leaders from Save the Persecuted Christians (STPC) have released a letter and campaign video urging Trump to confront Syria's leader over the ongoing blockade of humanitarian aid to Christians, Druze, and other minorities in southern Syria.Faraci discusses the high-stakes diplomacy, the removal of U.S. and U.N. sanctions on al-Sharaa, and how President Trump's push for a “fresh start” in Syria could hinge on one question: whether al-Sharaa will finally uphold his promises on religious freedom and human rights.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On Friday,, July fourth , Trump is scheduled to sign into law his so-called big beautiful bill which eliminates health care and food assistance for millions of Americans, adds $150 billion more for the military, and triples the budget for Trump's mass deportation machine, making ICE the largest police force in the country. All of this to give billionaires a massive tax cut and add more than three trillion to the national debt.  Three days before the House vote, as the Senate was still debating, faith leaders were arrested on the street outside the capitol as they carried symbolic coffins, representing the tens of thousands expected to die in the US each year because of   the new law.  For this hour, we will hear from the Rev. William barber and other faith leaders, Medicaid recipients, and policy analysts speaking truth to power about the budget, which is the biggest wealth transfer to the wealthy in U.S. History. “On the Ground: Voices of Resistance from the Nation's Capital” gives a voice to the voiceless 99 percent at the heart of American empire. The award-winning, weekly hour, produced and hosted by Esther Iverem, covers social justice activism about local, national and international issues, with a special emphasis on militarization and war, the police state, the corporate state, environmental justice and the left edge of culture and media. The show is heard on three dozen stations across the United States, on podcast, and is archived on the world wide web at https://onthegroundshow.org/  Please support us on Patreon or Paypal.
