Can joy be anything but denial in a rage-filled public life? Michael Wear joins Mark Labberton to reframe politics through the kingdom logic of hope, agency, and practices of silence and solitude. As 2025 closes amid political discord, we might all ask whether joy can be real in public life—without denial, escapism, or contempt. "… Joy is a pervasive and constant sense of wellbeing." In this conversation, Michael Wear and Mark Labberton reflect on joy, hope, responsibility, and agency amid a reaction-driven politics. Together they discuss the realism of Advent; the limits of our control; how kingdom imagination reframes anger; hope beyond outcomes, dignity under threat, and practices (including silence and solitude) that restore clarity. Episode Highlights "Joy is a pervasive and constant sense of wellbeing. … Joy is not a technique to then get people to do what you want them to do." "God's Kingdom is the range of his effective will." " Someone whose hope is rightly placed sees that a dignity denying culture does not have the final say." "Our will is effective and those things in which our will is not effective." "The pattern of domination and violence is an old one."

"Willard would say joy is a pervasive and constant sense of wellbeing." " It is very difficult to have joy if you are taking responsibility for things that are not your responsibility." Public life as joyless space; lacking imagination for joy amid provocation, antagonism, and constant political showmanship "If there are places in our life where we can't conceive of joy, it's a problem with our view of God." Misplaced responsibility, misplaced hope; joy collapses when taking on burdens that aren't ours and treating agency as ultimate "God's kingdom is the range of his effective will." "We each have our own little kingdoms … where what we say to be done is done." Politics reveals limits; a clarity about what we can do, what we can't do, and what we must import into the rest of life "Our will is effective, and there are things in which our will is not effective." "Faithfulness is not the ability to determine a righteous outcome … to everything in which our lives touch." False responsibility, obscured agency Are we taking charge of what isn't ours while ignoring the real choices we do have? "That's a recipe for joylessness." Poked and prodded by provocations; entertainment, antagonisms, and helplessness normalize reaction and justify complicity Anger as political fuel Many assume that raising your voice is the only faithful posture inside the public arena. "I've had people respond to me: 'How am I going to get anything done in politics without anger?'" "Political imagination has been taken over by a political logic as opposed to a kingdom logic." Relearning responsibility and agency; hope not grounded in our effectiveness, but in what God is doing beyond our reach. "Ultimate hope lies outside of the range of our effective will." "It is in that realm in which we are perfectly safe." Hope is for a life that pervades all things. "So when your hope is in the right place, you can hope for a whole range of things." " Someone whose hope is rightly placed sees that a dignity denying culture does not have the final say." Hope and joy "when your back is against the wall" Allen Temple Baptist Church: Joy at the margins of culture Fannie Lou Hamer Howard Thurman, Jesus and the Disinherited First Presbyterian Church in Evanston, IL Michael Wear, The Spirit of Our Politics Psalm 23 as distress-psalm: Enemies are still present, yet God leads beside still waters and cares most in greatest distress. "Take off the old self with its practices and put on the new self." "Put on Christ now in a way that will affect everything around us." Herod: The paranoid leader Advent into Christmastide—what it means to dwelling in Emmanuel "This is why the incarnation is such an extraordinarily important cornerstone: It's that God enters in through Jesus into our world, in a world in which, yes, there may be great praises in heaven and on earth from those who understand something at least of who he is and what he's there to do. But it also lands him in a world of immediate physical and familial vulnerability of political and social, if not military, violence." Are we protected from vulnerability, or living in precarity? The pattern of domination and violence Refusing forgetfulness as 2026 approaches with fresh pressures and fresh calling. National call to silence and solitude; disinvesting from reactionary instincts to engage the world with renewed vision and clarity. silenceandsolitude.org "Silence and solitude… can infuse your public activity with right vision and right clarity." #MichaelWear #MarkLabberton #ChristianPublicLife #ChristianPolitics #SpiritualFormation #Joy #Advent #SilenceAndSolitude #Hope #PublicWitness Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment Magazine and Fuller Seminary.  

In this solo episode of The Scratch Golfer's Mindset Podcast, I'm sharing a raw, honest reflection on my 2025 golf season—what improved, what I avoided, where fear quietly ran the show, and why the theme of 2026 is simple: do the work. I walk you through the exact 15 reflection questions I challenged my newsletter readers to answer—and I read my own straight-from-the-journal responses. Then I close by defining the identity I'm stepping into in 2026: committed, intentional, and fearless—with a clear focus on becoming a longer hitter, sharper from 125 and in, and mentally tougher when things get uncomfortable. If you've been stuck in inconsistency, rushing your routine, or playing not to mess up, this episode will give you a mirror—and a reset. In this episode, you'll learn: The 15 reflection questions I use to audit a season and upgrade my golf identity Why false urgency destroys routines, decision-making, and scoring How fear shows up as "smart golf" (laying back, avoiding driver) and silently caps your potential The difference between practicing and practicing with intentionality How I'm building more presence and focus using a 3-hole check-in reset What I'm no longer willing to tolerate in my game—and why that line matters The identity shift I'm making in 2026: committed, intentional, fearless—and what that looks like in action Get your pencils ready and start listening.  P.S.

What do I want more of? What do I want less of? What am I no longer willing to tolerate in my golf game? What patterns kept repeating for me this year—and why? Where did I abandon my standards when things got uncomfortable? What did I pretend "didn't matter," even though it clearly did? What am I still blaming on my swing that's actually mental or emotional? Where did fear quietly make my decisions for me this year? What did I avoid working on because it exposed my real edge? When did I play not to mess up instead of playing to perform? What part of my game actually improved—and why did it improve? What drained my energy on the course more than it should have? What would change if I trusted myself one level more? If nothing changes in 2026, what will that cost me—emotionally and competitively? Key Takeaways: You don't need more knowledge to reach scratch—you need consistent, intentional work. False urgency destroys routines, decision-making, and scoring faster than any swing flaw. Fear often disguises itself as "smart golf" and quietly caps your potential. Your routine matters most right after great holes and bad holes, not when things feel easy. Intentional practice creates predictable performance; random reps create random results. Emotional toughness is built by sitting in discomfort instead of numbing or avoiding it. Identity is the real upgrade, and in 2026 that identity is committed, intentional, and fearless. Key Quotes: "The theme of 2026 is do the work—not the easy stuff, not the surface-level stuff, the real work." "I already have the talent and capability to be a scratch golfer; inconsistency was the real issue." "I'm no longer willing to tolerate playing hurried golf with a false sense of urgency." "Fear made decisions everywhere this year, especially when I convinced myself I was being strategic." "Avoiding driver and playing not to mess up kept me playing par fours like par fives." "Vulnerability, ownership, and accountability aren't weaknesses—they're performance accelerators." "If nothing changes in 2026, it will cost me everything."

Send us a textEpisode 267 -- Today's episode is a Christmas gift from the Patreons - Mary Cosby's cousin Dan Cosby's explosive 2021 FULL interview about his cousin Mary Cosby redited before the TLC cult documentary drops next week. Dan Cosby, Mary's cousin and former church member, exposes how Robert Sr. (the Bishop) never got Mama's blessing to marry Mary - that entire "God told me" story is completely fabricated. Wait until you hear how church members were held hostage at the doors until they raised $200,000, with people taking out loans to appease Mary and Robert so they could leave. Dan reveals Mary had extramarital affairs while married to her first husband Dana, how Robert was sending messages to women offering vacations, and how they both entered a consensual open marriage arrangement. The church bought land for a new building with Mama's money but Robert took all the funds and nobody knows where it went. Dan exposes Mary's text messages threatening him with death and calling him evil after he spoke out, reveals Charlinda (a family member) works for Mary for pennies, and explains Mary doesn't actually own properties in New York or a mortgage company despite her claims. For RHOBH gossip, I'm debunking the Sutton Stracke church annulment blind - Christian Stracke didn't need her permission or to pay her off, and she's still getting $300,000/month alimony indefinitely. I'm breaking down Dorit Kemsley's foreclosure situation and how PK Kemsley strategically stopped paying the mortgage for four months to force a loan on the property in Dorit's name. Plus Kyle Richards called paparazzi on Christmas Day and made them wait. Prince Andrew aka Mountbatten-Windsor had his gun license revoked and all firearms confiscated by police in late November - wait until you hear why this suggests serious mental health concerns and potential suicide risk. Russell Brand was hit with two new charges involving two new women from 2009 - now facing seven criminal charges from six women total, and his new apologetic video suggests he's already negotiating a plea deal before his June 2026 trial.Full episode only available at Dishing Drama Dana Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/DishingDramaWithDanaWilkeySupport the showDana is on Cameo!Follow Dana: @Wilkey_Dana$25,000 Song - Apple Music$25,000 Song - SpotifyTo support the show and listen to full episodes, become a member on PatreonTo send Dana information, show requests and sponsorships reach out to our new email: dishingdramadana@gmail.comDana's YouTube Channel

 If you do not take an interest in the affairs of your government, then you are doomed to live under the rule of fools.Reality is created by the mind, we can change our reality by changing our mind.A wise man speaks because he has something to say; a fool because he has to say something.No one is more hated than he who speaks the truth.The right question is usually more important than the right answer.The one who learns and learns and doesn't practice is like the one who plows and plows and never plants.The first and the best victory is to conquer self.Don't force your children into your ways, for they were created for a time different from your own.Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws.Never discourage anyone who continually makes progress, no matter how slow... even if that someone is yourself!We understand why children are afraid of darkness ... but why are men afraid of light?I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing.The greatest wealth is to live content with little.Just as bees make honey from thyme, the strongest and driest of herbs, so do the wise profit from the most difficult of experiences.The measure of a man is what he does with power.One cannot make a slave of a free person, for a free person is free even in a prison.Poverty doesn't come because of the decrease of wealth but because of the increase of desires.Ignorance is the root cause of all difficulties.False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil.Those who are able to see beyond the shadows and lies of their culture will never be understood let alone believed by the masses.The worst of all deceptions is self-deception.One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.When you feel grateful, you become great, and eventually attract great things.The price of apathy towards public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.Happiness springs from doing good and helping others.My Video:   Quotes Plato https://youtu.be/P2moxOUt8iQMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/Quotes-Plato.mp3

The unique contingencies of the Apostle are often overlooked because the world has dismissed this powerful gift. But the Apostle who acts as a Diplomat for God faces many things including false Apostles in his/her high level work. We are aware of the False Prophets and False Christs, but now we will look at the False Apostle. People who work in such roles or have this gift intrinsically understand they will have resistance. But the Bible gives us clarity and we shall examine their nemesis so that we won't be deceived.

Christmas is an annual festival celebrated on December 25 to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ. It serves as a sacred religious holiday for billions of Christians and a widespread cultural and secular celebration globally. This is what I picked up surrounding the energy

"I think we have to head to the next interview, but thank you very much for your time." Do you miss the sound of somebody hanging up the phone on terrestrial radio? Then boy oh boy do we have the hour for you. We kick it off with a Cal Ripken interview in which he tells us where he does (or does not) stand on Hillary vs Obama in 2008, then play a game of True or False with Bomani Jones. That's just the warm-up because after that, we have three of the most epic hang-ups in show history from interviews gone horribly wrong. First up is Joan Rivers, followed by Michael Phelps, and capped off with Nick Lachey.

Send us a text The story opens at a dinner party and ends with a near-unheard-of legal result: dismissal with prejudice. In between is retired Colonel Dan Wilson's toughest battle—how a decorated Marine became the target of a false allegation, why the case grew despite exculpatory DNA, and what happens when command climate, politics, and process collide. We trace Dan's life from childhood in Africa through four decades of Marine command, the accusation, and months under a gag order as headlines spread. He recounts being sent to the brig, choosing general population, and finding purpose there, then explains a military justice system civilians rarely see—small panels, nonunanimous verdicts, command influence, and pressure that drives overcharging. Even after an appellate court dismissed the key conviction with prejudice, the fight continued through administrative penalties and retirement disputes. Dan lays out needed reforms—ending command influence, requiring unanimous verdicts, opening voir dire, raising evidence standards, and providing real post-exoneration relief—while sharing how faith, sobriety, routine, and writing rebuilt his life.  If you care about military justice, due process, and the gap between headlines and truth, this conversation doesn't pull punches.

Iată concluzia unei anchete a ziarului francez Le Monde.  De la invadarea Ucrainei, se pare că sute de cetățeni ruși au obținut cetățenia română în mod fraudulos. Tendința pare inexorabilă: în România, satele se golesc de locuitori. Totuși, mica localitate Vârfu Câmpului, din nordul țării, aproape de granița cu Ucraina, și-a văzut în mod curios populația dublându-se în decurs de un deceniu, crescând de la 3.420 de locuitori în 2011 la peste 7.000 în 2021, scrie Le Monde. În noiembrie 2024, zeci de raiduri au scos la iveală escrocheria: nu economie înfloritoare, nu baby boom, ci aproape 10.000 de cetățeni din Moldova, Ucraina și Rusia obținuseră în mod fraudulos acte de identitate românești, stabilindu-și adrese fictive în Vârfu Câmpului. Aceste documente false, despre care se presupune că ar fi fost emise în schimbul mitei, au fost produse ani de zile de către funcționari de la două oficii de stare civilă, cu complicitatea locuitorilor din zonă. Un fenomen extins Vârfu Câmpului nu este singura localitate afectată. În 2025, au avut loc alte raiduri în județele de graniță Botoșani și Suceava, precum și în București. În toamnă, Primăria sectorului 6 București a anulat eliberarea a 68 de acte de identitate românești. Potrivit unui comunicat al primăriei, multe dintre certificatele de cetățenie s-au dovedit false, deoarece nu fuseseră emise oficial de Autoritatea Națională pentru Cetățenie (ANC), singura instituție competentă. În total, autoritățile estimează că peste 18.700 de cetățeni ai fostei URSS au reședințe fictive în România, dintre care unii au obținut pașapoarte românești În investigația sa, Le Monde îl intervievează pe avocatul Denis Buruian, al cărui cabinet se află în București. Vorbitor de limba rusă, el se ocupă de 34 de cazuri de cetățeni ruși cărora le-au fost revocate actele de identitate românești de către primăria sectorului 6 București. El spune că ”majoritatea își doreau un pașaport românesc pentru a evita sancțiunile și a-și putea continua activitatea în afara Rusiei”, adăugând că tinerii tind să se stabilească „în Dubai”, în timp ce persoanele în vârstă „preferă Franța”. ”O viață prosperă în UE cu acte românești” Deținerea unui pașaport românesc a devenit de interes pentru ruși, odată ce Uniunea Europeană a înăsprit controalele privind cererile de vize de la începutul invaziei la scară largă asupra Ucrainei în 2022. Rețele criminale nici măcar nu se ascund: pe rețelele de socializare, reclamele care vizează vorbitorii de limbă rusă pentru obținerea „cetățeniei europene” sunt înfloritoare. Agențiile promit o viață prosperă în UE datorită pașaportului românesc, contra unor sume cuprinse între 4.000 și 7.000 de euro, cu reduceri speciale pentru perioada Crăciunului. Aceste agenții susțin că activitățile lor sunt perfect legale, dar, în realitate, folosesc rețele ucrainene și moldovenești, cu ajutorul unor oficiali români, dintre care unii au făcut obiectul unor anchete penale în trecut. Rețelele profită de legea care le permite cetățenilor din Ucraina și republica Moldova, care au avut un strămoș cetățean al României să obțină pașaportul românesc. Aceste rețele criminale pot „inventa” genealogii false și pot susține, de exemplu, că bunica cuiva s-a născut în Cernăuți, Ucraina, sau Chișinău, Moldova - teritorii care au făcut anterior parte din România. Aceste documente falsificate sunt apoi certificate de autoritățile române. În cazuri mai recente, escrocii au ocolit obstacolele creând direct un certificat de cetățenie fals. Operațiunea  durează doar câteva săptămâni, contra unui cost de zeci de mii de euro. Potrivit parchetului, ar fi suficient un funcționar neatent sau care închide ochii, o „lacună”, pentru ca escrocii să exploateze „slăbiciunile umane, legislative și organizaționale”.   Material adaptat după articolul din Le Monde  Intertitlurile aparțin redacției Ascultați rubrica ”Eurocronica”, cu Ovidiu Nahoi, în fiecare zi, de luni până vineri, de la 8.45 și în reluare duminica, de la 15.00, numai la RFI România

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks!Revelation 14 John sees the Lamb standing on Mount Zion with 144,000 who have His name and the Father's name on their foreheads. They sing a new song before the throne that only they can learn, because they are faithful and pure. Three angels follow with messages: the first proclaims the eternal gospel to every nation, calling everyone to worship the Creator; the second announces the fall of Babylon; the third warns that those who worship the beast and receive its mark will face God's wrath. This calls for patient endurance among the saints. John then sees one like the Son of Man with a crown and a sickle, reaping the earth. Another angel gathers grapes into the winepress of God's wrath. The chapter depicts judgment, hope, and the victory of the faithful. Our almighty God calls us to live with faithfulness, purity, and endurance, just like the 144,000 who followed the Lamb wherever He went. We are sealed as His people, and our lives should reflect His name and character. The messages of the angels remind us that the gospel is for all people and that judgment is certain. False powers like Babylon will fall, and those who reject God will face the consequences. We are called to worship the Creator, stand firm in truth, and not be swayed by fear or deception. The harvest images show that God sees every life and action. We must live each day in devotion to Him, trusting His justice and rejoicing in His promised victory.  Glorious Father, You are worthy of all worship and honor. You reign over every nation, and Your truth reaches the ends of the earth. Help us to follow the Lamb with faithfulness and purity, keeping Your name written on our hearts. Strengthen us to resist the lies of this world and to stand firm in every trial. Let our lives proclaim the eternal gospel with boldness and joy. Teach us to live with reverence, knowing You see all things and will judge rightly. Keep us close to You, filled with hope, faithful to the end, and protected from Your wrath.  Thought Questions: What does it mean to follow the Lamb wherever He goes, and do you believe God marks those who do so as His now and forever? God calls His people to fear and worship Him, no matter how loudly worldly powers demand attention. What does that choice look like? The perseverance of the saints is to keep the commandments of God and faith in Jesus. How does your daily routine help you accomplish this?

Welcome to Be Bold for Jesus!Our mission is to help you walk boldly in your faith and follow Jesus with confidence. Led by Lee and Jaclyn Arnold, we teach the Bible in a way that transforms your heart and helps you see Jesus revealed throughout all of Scripture.In today's message:“The Christmas Journey: Finding Jesus on Every Page”We explore how the story of Christmas is woven throughout the Bible—not just in the Gospels, but even in passages that challenge us.In Jeremiah 27, God speaks through the prophet Jeremiah, calling Judah and the surrounding nations to submit to the yoke He has appointed. Though the message was difficult, unpopular, and even dangerous, Jeremiah remained faithful and obedient.This chapter reminds us that long before Jesus was born in Bethlehem, God was directing history toward redemption.This chapter reveals a powerful truth:God's sovereignty extends over all nations, leaders, and circumstances.God often calls His people to trust Him in seasons that feel uncomfortable or unclear.Resisting God's will leads to loss, while surrender prepares the way for peace, protection, and life.False prophets may promise ease or quick relief, but God's truth always requires trust and obedience.The reminder for us today:“I have made the earth, the people and the animals that are on the ground, by my great power and outstretched arm; and I give it to whom it seems right to me.” — Jeremiah 27:6“Take My yoke upon you… and you will find rest for your souls.” — Matthew 11:29From Jeremiah to Jesus, God's message is consistent: surrender brings freedom. The Christmas journey leads us to Christ, where obedience is met with grace and rest.If God is asking you to trust Him and take on His yoke, don't resist. In Jesus, surrender leads to peace, freedom, and protection.Stay connected and grow with us:• Sunday Sermons – Live on Zoom + Facebook• Wednesday Bible Study – Interactive discussions to go deeper• Daily Dose of Boldness – Devotionals to fuel your walk with GodBe Bold for Jesus Conference 2026An unforgettable weekend to ignite your faith.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about Project23 and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. Our text today is Judges 17:13. "Then Micah said, 'Now I know that the Lord will prosper me, because I have a Levite as priest.'" — Judges 17:13 Micah's homemade religion is now complete. He's got a shrine, a priest, and a title. And now—he's got confidence. "Now I know," he says, "the Lord will prosper me." But it's all fake. Fake priest. Fake faith. Fake confidence. Micah believes he's in God's favor simply because everything looks right. But this is the final stage of spiritual delusion: when you mistake comfort for confirmation. He assumes that because his setup feels spiritual, it must be spiritual. That's what happens when religion becomes self-made—you start measuring faith by your feelings instead of His truth. This is the heart of counterfeit Christianity today. People claim assurance, quote Scripture out of context, or redefine sin, all while drifting further from God's Word. They've built a religion that feels peaceful because it never confronts them. And the more they say "God told me," the less they actually listen to what God already said. Micah's confidence wasn't rooted in Scripture—it was rooted in self-deception. And that's what makes this so dangerous. You can be completely convinced you're right with God and still be miles from Him if your faith isn't built on truth. We also see this in the church. Whole movements chase emotional experiences but ignore biblical obedience. Believers trust in positive feelings, prosperity, or political comfort instead of God's holiness. It's the American version of Micah's religion—comfort without conviction, blessing without obedience, and faith without truth. False confidence always feels strong—right up until the truth tests it. So here's the question I would present to you: Is your confidence based on God's Word—or your own worldview? ASK THIS: Where are you mistaking spiritual comfort for spiritual confirmation? What beliefs or habits have you justified that don't line up with God's Word? Have you built confidence on truth—or convenience? How can you anchor your assurance in Scripture instead of emotion? DO THIS: Take a truth inventory: what do you believe that's not clearly rooted in Scripture? Replace assumptions with alignment—submit your confidence to God's Word. Pray for humility to let God's truth confront your comfort. PRAY THIS: Father, I don't want false confidence. Expose any lie I've believed about You or about myself. Anchor my assurance in Your truth—not in feelings, comfort, or imitation faith. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Build My Life."

“As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.” — Matthew 2:8 Christmas in the Western world has become a highly secularized holiday. While the celebration still bears the name of Christ, the season marks a time of gifts and parties, lights and decorations. And while many of those themes are relatively harmless, they do not call attention to the worship of Christ that should be at the center of the holiday celebrations.It's sad that the priests and scholars who knew the prophecy about the Savior's birth weren't interested enough to see if it was fulfilled, despite the fact that Bethlehem was only a few miles from Jerusalem. And Herod, who was interested because he felt threatened, didn't want to hear about the kind of king God desired—a gentle ruler and shepherd (Matthew 2:6). At times, we too have our tendencies to ignore what we know about God's promises and to try to maintain our own sense of authority and comfort.In just a few days Christmas will be here. Perhaps you've already begun your celebrations, and you're enjoying the traditions our culture has built up around this holiday.As we celebrate, let's be careful not to let our traditions or attitudes bring about a false Christmas that rejects the worship of Jesus. Instead of staying in our own comfortable palaces, let us go, as the Magi did, to seek God's promised Savior. Gracious God, we confess how easy it is to get caught up in our own version of Christmas and miss the wonder of the Savior's birth. Forgive us, and fix our attention on Jesus. Amen.

Romans 9:4-5 — Have modern critical scholars undermined the teaching about Christ's deity? On what basis is this passage a doxology to God the Father instead of an affirmation of deity of the Son? False religions and cults seek to mislead the people of God and Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones takes up the challenge of looking closely at the arguments for the departure of modern translations from the Authorized Version. In this sermon on Romans 9:4–5 titled “Christ … Who is … God,” his main contention is that the changes reflected in the modern translations is not the result of an honest reading of the grammar, nor are they based on studying the manuscript tradition (textual criticism). Instead, it rests entirely on a general argument about what Paul does not do in his letters. Dr. Lloyd-Jones finds this most troubling and leverages not only other modern scholars, but the history of interpretation, and most importantly, other Scriptural evidence in order to show that Jesus Christ is called “God” by the apostle Paul in this verse. Listen as Dr. Lloyd-Jones provides a fresh account of an old debate and defends Trinitarian orthodoxy in the face of modern critical scholarship.

The supernatural horror returns.It's been 12 years since social worker Cassie discovered a mysterious mould in her home, invisible to almost everyone except her. Now the fungus has spread - its glowing spores a major global health threat, infecting the brains of those who inhale them. But many refuse to take seriously a menace they cannot see. When spores erupt at a care home in Wales, Cassie's son Bryn and 30 residents are exposed to infection. But how could this have happened when just days earlier the building was declared mould-free by a mycelium-sighted Inspector? For Bryn there is only one explanation: not everyone who claims to see the mould can be trusted. But who is this rogue Inspector and why would they lie? In his search for answers, Bryn's fraught relationship with Cassie will be tested to the limit as they battle to stop the fungus before the looming pandemic can take hold. In Greek mythology, Cassandra was condemned to speak the truth yet never be believed. A story of trust and what happens when we lose it. And of a hidden threat destroying the very thing that makes us powerful. Written and created by Marietta KirkbrideCassie ….. Kate O'Flynn Bryn ….. Ben Skym Helen ….. Laurel Lefkow Ethan .....

David Shedd critiques the bipartisan failure of allowing China into the World Trade Organization in 2001, which was based on the false assumption that economic engagement would lead to democratization. Instead, this decision facilitated a massive transfer of intellectual property, fueling China's rise as a predatory economic rival. 1940 EMPRESS DOWAGER CIXI

I've always believed that healing starts with awareness — but this conversation with Dr. Ellen Vora took that belief to a whole new level. In this illuminating conversation, I sit down with Dr. Vora, a board-certified psychiatrist, acupuncturist, yoga teacher, and author of The Anatomy of Anxiety — and she's redefining what it means to truly care for our mental health. In this episode, she shares how her own health crisis and years in conventional psychiatry led her to a more holistic path — one that honors both science and soul. We explore the two types of anxiety she defines in her book — False (avoidable) and True (purposeful) — and how understanding the difference can completely transform your relationship with anxiety. Ellen explains how hormones shape our mood and perception, why modern life keeps us stuck in “all yang, no yin,” and how small shifts in sleep, nourishment, and nervous-system care can restore balance. This conversation bridges logic and magic, reminding us that true mental health isn't about fixing symptoms — it's about coming back into balance, reclaiming your wholeness, and trusting your inner wisdom.

Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.   As we approach the end of the year, I'm pausing to look back and celebrate all of the wonderful guests that I had the honor of speaking to on the show. And based on your feedback, many of these guests resonated with you as well so we're giving you another chance to revisit the stories, insights, and lessons you loved most in 2025!   This week, I'm excited to highlight an episode with Seth Godin.   Seth is a dear friend who I met in 2001 through his book Purple Cow, which is one of my all-time favorite books. Along the way, Seth has always been a great supporter of me and my career. Today, I'm eager to discuss Seth's latest book, This Is Strategy: Make Better Plans.    THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR…anyone who wants a fresh perspective on leadership and strategy.      TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE…strategy isn't a lofty document or annual exercise. It's a compass guiding every decision you make. Seth challenges the conventional idea of strategy as static and instead frames it as a dynamic, iterative process of becoming. He shares nuggets of wisdom from his new book, which he says is a love letter for the people he cares about.     KEY TAKEAWAYS…  - Fear is often the thing that holds people back from making bold decisions.  - False proxies, like easy-to-measure but irrelevant metrics, can misguide your focus.  - The best leaders inspire action by focusing on the "why" behind their strategies.    WHAT I LOVE MOST…Seth's thoughts on practical empathy. He says it's easy to become attached to something because you've worked hard on it. Practical empathy is understanding your audience and imagining what they need, even if that means reinventing your offerings. It's a call to lead with both courage and care.     Running Time: 29:45    Subscribe on iTunes    Find Tiffani Online:  LinkedIn  Facebook       Find Seth Online:  Website   LinkedIn   Seth's Book:   The Corporate Startup

Jon Herold and Burning Bright break down Episode 416 with a focused examination of the recurring “rug pull” cycle that continues to ripple through the online political and MAGA ecosystem. The conversation centers on how speculative predictions, influencer driven hype, and vague “sources” repeatedly generate false expectations around imminent war, secret briefings, and dramatic geopolitical moves, only to collapse under scrutiny. Jon and Burning Bright unpack recent claims tied to Venezuela, Mar a Lago rumors, and escalating war narratives, explaining why these stories persist and how they function psychologically within the movement. Rather than framing rug pulls as failures, they emphasize discernment, logic, and pattern recognition, arguing that emotional overinvestment is the real vulnerability being exploited. The episode also touches on broader geopolitical signaling, alliances, and why disciplined analysis matters more than chasing dopamine driven predictions in an ongoing information war.

The Fed cut rates and announced $40B/month in T bill purchases. Is that the signal to buy back into crypto? Mike says no. In this episode, we explain why “QE light” is not real easing, the key indicators Mike needs before flipping risk on, and what Bitcoin's onchain market structure suggests about where this cycle could go next. ----

Send us a textThe distance between us and harm feels like it's vanished. We open with three shocks—a father slain by his son, a campus shooting at Brown, and an antisemitic attack in Austria—and follow the thread that ties them together: when formation collapses, pressure finds a way out. Family should be the last shelter, so language breaks when violence comes from within. We talk plainly about mental illness and addiction as explanations, not erasers, and argue that structure, treatment, and accountability must stand alongside love to keep people safe.The story widens to universities. Brilliance without grounding is acceleration, not wisdom. Campuses have become pressure cookers where young people are taught performance without permission to fail, ambition without emotional literacy, and strength without community. As belonging erodes, meaning erodes, and the results spill into public life. That same vacuum appears in the resurgence of antisemitism. History's warning light flashes when anxious, fragmented societies reach for a scapegoat; it signals that deeper moral bearings are failing.Midway, we pivot to a stark report: a billionaire commissioning more than a hundred U.S.-born children through IVF and surrogacy, selecting for sex and treating citizenship as a bundled feature. This isn't speculative fiction—it's a supply chain for people. Once reproduction is severed from covenant and presence, children slide from gift to product. We lay out the ethics, the economics, and the quiet language tricks that make commodification feel normal, while showing how unchecked wealth thrives in legal gray zones to buy what's illegal at home.Power and truth collide again in politics and the economy. We unpack a failed gerrymander push, the intimidation surrounding it, and why process integrity matters more than any map. Then we test the rosy jobs headlines against revisions that leave the ledger negative, returning to where most economies actually live: kitchens, break rooms, and late-night budgets. False weights and measures break trust; clarity restores it. Our throughline remains steady: care is not weakness, boundaries are not cruelty, and meaning is not optional. If we invest in people before they break, surprises shrink and safety grows.If this conversation moved you, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review with one concrete change you want leaders to make next week.

Exposed again. An important call now exists on video. Federal civil employees, living on tax payer dollars, are working hard to circumvent our Constitution. Pay attention DOJ. Does a union for tax funded jobs make sense? There are laws covering civil service. This video should justify decertification of their federal employee union. These people are launching Influence operations against citizens. When your fight is gone, the team no longer needs you. Tiny violins rule.We watch taxpayer funded campaigns and collective action. They organized the shutdown showdown. Sabotage, slowing down government, delaying segments, MSM will never discuss this. They are part of the operation. G4P meets to plan an overthrow of the government. False flags and mass casualty events for public control. What were the goals of the Aussie operation? Exposing deception makes people angry. Distributing subversion to cover it up. Is this emergency governance or abuse of power? These are tough times for military parents. Obama, DHS and influence operations. We all must learn to forgive those who have hurt us, although it could be the hardest move of all.
