Dal Vangelo secondo MatteoIn quel tempo, Gesù passò, in giorno di sabato, fra campi di grano e i suoi discepoli ebbero fame e cominciarono a cogliere delle spighe e a mangiarle.Vedendo ciò, i farisei gli dissero: «Ecco, i tuoi discepoli stanno facendo quello che non è lecito fare di sabato».Ma egli rispose loro: «Non avete letto quello che fece Davide, quando lui e i suoi compagni ebbero fame? Egli entrò nella casa di Dio e mangiarono i pani dell'offerta, che né a lui né ai suoi compagni era lecito mangiare, ma ai soli sacerdoti. O non avete letto nella Legge che nei giorni di sabato i sacerdoti nel tempio vìolano il sabato e tuttavia sono senza colpa? Ora io vi dico che qui vi è uno più grande del tempio. Se aveste compreso che cosa significhi: “Misericordia io voglio e non sacrifici”, non avreste condannato persone senza colpa. Perché il Figlio dell'uomo è signore del sabato».

In this powerful conversation recorded in Miami, I sit down with manifestation coach and spiritual entrepreneur Nadia Khaled for our fourth collaboration together. As fellow Pisces with Virgo risings, we dive deep into the intersection of spirituality, authenticity, and using fame as a force for good in the world.This episode explores the often-misunderstood relationship between spiritual growth and the desire for visibility, sharing how my journey from strict religious conditioning to celebrity coaching became a path of healing and service. We break down the practical and energetic aspects of magnetism, discussing everything from nervous system regulation during content creation to the art of walking into any room like you own it.Key Topics Discussed:Why the most self-aware people are often the least likely to pursue fame—and why that needs to changeHow my Mormon upbringing and subsequent spiritual deconstruction shaped my understanding of authentic powerThe difference between using content creation as escape versus processing emotions first, then sharing wisdomMy approach to showing up during my divorce and single motherhood: boundaries, compassion, and the "character" version of myselfThe alter ego effect: how both Nadia and I use strategic versions of ourselves to build confidence and manifest our goalsWhy timing matters in sharing your struggles—the power of processing privately before teaching publiclyPractical magnetism techniques: the "four corners" room-commanding exercise and expanding your energy fieldHow to identify your natural flow states and use them as a blueprint for magnetic presenceThe relationship between following your desires and spiritual alignment—why your wants are often your dharmaThis conversation offers a refreshing perspective on building a spiritual business without compromising your authenticity, plus practical tools for anyone wanting to command more presence and magnetism in their daily life.

Send us a textThis is an interview with author Elizabeth DeWolfe, who tells the fascinating story of two women "hidden in history" from the Gilded Age. Her recent book, Alias Agnes - The Notorious Tales of a Gilded Age Spy, brings to light a woman, Madeleine Pollard, who was promised a better life from a Kentucky congressman, and continued an affair with him for a number of years. The congressman eventually married someone else, and Madeline decided to bring him to trial, frankly with solid evidence that he had promised to marry her. The defense team for the congressman, came up with the clever idea to hire another woman - to become a friend of Madeleine's with an assumed alias, essentially to "spy" on her. This interview will definitely "whet your whistle" to learn more and read the full story of the outcome of this trial and eventually the lives of two women, navigating the sometimes difficult society of the 1890's. Elizabeth DeWolfe is professor of history at the University of New England (Biddeford, Maine) and the award-winning author of The Murder of Mary Bean, and, Shaking the Faith. Her most recent work is Alias Agnes: The Notorious Tale of a Gilded Age Spy. Her website is:www.elizabeth.dewolfe.com or (link here). Her book is available at number of online venues or please check your local bookstore:University Press of KentuckyDeWolfe and WoodBookshopAmazonBarnes and NobleI too just published a Gilded Age biogrhapy - The Miniature Painter Revealed: Amalia Kussner's Gilded Age Pursuit of Fame and Fortune.

Today on part two of our conversation on the Rarified Heir Podcast, this episode continues our conversation with Peter Rafelson, son of director and producer Bob Rafelson. Recorded the week after part one, this episode delves into some pretty heavy as well as some pretty of the wall stuff. And as you have heard on part one, it seems like that was par for the course in the Rafelson household in the 1960s and 1970s. As one of the leading figures in the American New Wave filmmakers, Bob Rafelson was responsible for producing or directing some classic, seminal films that influenced generations of film makers. It's quite a resume including films like The Postman Always Rings Twice, Head, The Last Picture Show, Easy Rider, The King of Marvin Gardens, Mountains of the Moon, a film we discuss at length, Stay Hungry as well as an unfortunately named anthology, Porn.com. Beginning with Davy Jones, we also discuss what each member of The Monkees was like off camera, how he spent the Summer of 1975 pumping iron with Arnold Schwarzenegger in Alabama, his role in the Alan Parker movie Fame, how the magazine Psychology Today saved his bacon growing up as a kid and everything in between. We discuss dyslexia, smoking pot with your teachers, trade school, working with his dad scoring a film and much more. So get ready for part two of our conversation with guest Peter Rafelson and learn what it was like having The Monkees instruments in his basement for years after the show ended its run. It's up next on part two of our conversation with the son of an Easy Rider or a Raging Bull. We're just not sure which one it was. This is the Rarified Heir Podcast. Everyone has a story.

Want to reach out to us? Want to leave a comment or review? Want to give us a suggestion or berate Anthony? Send us a text by clicking this link!The Catholic internet was shaken by revelations about Voice of Reason, a rising Catholic apologist who allegedly engaged in a decade-long pattern of manipulating vulnerable women while presenting himself as a defender of the faith. This raw, unfiltered conversation dives deep into the spiritual dangers of leading a double life and the devastating consequences when those in positions of Catholic influence betray the trust placed in them.We examine how Voice of Reason allegedly used his role as a catechist to obtain contact information from young women, including a disturbing claim of grooming a minor. The conversation tackles difficult questions: What responsibility do Catholic communities have when confronted with such behavior? How should we balance mercy with accountability? And what guardrails should exist to prevent those with serious moral failings from continuing in public ministry?Beyond the individual case, we explore broader spiritual lessons about the damaging effects of sins against chastity. "The devil rejoices the most in carnal sins because they are the easiest to trick men into and the hardest to draw men away from," notes Christian, highlighting how St. Thomas Aquinas warned that lust particularly wounds one's rationality and spiritual life. This leads to a compelling discussion about how many Catholics today treat confession as a "revolving door" without genuine commitment to change.Parents will find valuable insights about protecting children in the digital age, where "every text conversation is a near occasion of sin for young people." The hosts emphasize practical strategies for teaching youth about online safety and the permanent nature of digital communications. "Nothing you do online is ever private," Anthony warns, suggesting parents use this scandal as a teaching moment.We invite you to join this crucial conversation about maintaining authentic Catholic witness in a digital world full of temptations. Subscribe, share with those who might benefit from these difficult but necessary discussions, and remember that true Catholic faith demands not just knowledge but transformation.Support the showSponsored by Recusant Cellars, an unapologetically Catholic and pro-life winery from Washington state.

Fame, riches, approval, and more—chasing after these only leaves us empty and restless.The Book of Hebrews presents us with something better, and Someone greater to look to—to place all our hope, faith, and being into. Jesus is greater than anything or anyone else we could ever think of. Yet no matter how immensely superior He is to all, this same God still chooses to personally draw Himself closer to us, the same way that He did on the cross.

Scripture: 1 Samuel 18. Today we look at the cost of fame, the discouragement of injustice, and we will see what we can learn from David on how to navigate through them. In our text we read of David's progression of fame. He was a natural leader, a brilliant tactician, and widely acclaimed for his accomplishments. While David increased in popularity, Saul became very angry and he began to keep his eyes on David.  Saul saw David as a threat to his throne and begins to want David killed, even throwing his own spear at him several times - but David escapes. David is an honorable man and refuses to retaliate by attacking Saul because he knows that Saul is the currently anointed King. (David has been anointed to be the next king, but he knows God is in charge of that timing so honors God's current choice of king by not retaliating against him.)  Saul sends David away on warrior campaigns hoping David might be killed, yet David continues to be successful. With David's continued success in leading the Israelites so skillfully in battle and his acclaim continuing to grow, Saul becomes afraid of David. What we see is David's fame increases as he navigates the perils of fame. How did God enable David to cope, thrive and survive the fame with people and the injustice from Saul? A look at David's Character:     ⁃    David trusted in the Lord above all else. He trusted in the Lord and not in himself, not in his own abilities or his own insights. David did what Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”     ⁃    David was courageous because his courage came from God. David knew what the scriptures say, “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”     ⁃    David was patient and did not act rashly or try to take matters into his own hands. He knew he was the Lord's newly anointed king but he did not usurp that authority. Rather he remained patient in waiting for God's timing. Psalm 27:14 “Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.”     ⁃    HOWEVER! David WAS a sinner like all of us. Jesus is our Savior. We are not saved because of anything we've done, but rather we are saved because of everything that Jesus has done!! Philippians 5:8 tells us that Jesus, “being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!” David is a great hero, but Jesus is our Savior!! We not only have forgiveness and eternal life through Jesus, but we have the strength to live our lives each day with purpose and with profound impact by relying on Him alone! Now What?

What would your life look like if you truly embraced every change that came your way and surrounded yourself with the right people to help you through it? In this episode, our host Kevin Thompson talks with Jim “Soni” Sonefeld, drummer of the legendary band Hootie & the Blowfish. Jim shares how he went from chasing dreams on the soccer field to becoming part of one of the top-selling rock bands of all time. As the songwriter behind hits like “Hold My Hand”, Jim helped launch Hootie & the Blowfish into worldwide fame with their debut album Cracked Rear View, which became the 9th best-selling album in U.S. history. Jim opens up about his personal battles with alcohol addiction and how he found hope, healing, and a new purpose through faith and recovery. Today, as he gears up to release his fourth EP Remember Tomorrow and his memoir Swimming With The Blowfish: Hootie, Healing, and One Hell of a Ride, Jim reflects on the relationships that carried him through it all—his family, his bandmates, mentors, and community. This conversation is a real look at humility, growth, and why trying to do it all alone is never the answer.   [00:01 - 07:00] The Power of Being Connected • Jim and Kevin connected through their friend Jeremiah. • Trusting mutual relationships can open doors you never expect. • Jim shares why slowing down and being grateful changes everything.

[39:01 - 51:00] Finding Recovery and Giving Back • A 12-step program and honest friends helped him heal. • Jim learned to let go of what he couldn't control in life and music. • Now at 60, he tours again with deep gratitude for a second chance.

We're celebrating our 10th anniversary all year by digging in the vaults to re-present classic episodes with fresh commentary. Today, we're revisiting our 2016 conversation with Mike Stoller. ABOUT MIKE STOLLERMike Stoller has written more than 60 songs that have appeared on the Billboard charts, including the #1 hits “Hound Dog,” “Kansas City,” “Yakety Yak,”  “Searchin',” “Jailhouse Rock,” “Poison Ivy,” “Stand By Me,” “Young Blood,” “Don't,” and “Ruby, Baby." After Stoller and songwriting partner Jerry Leiber found early R&B success with recordings by Little Esther, Charles Brown, Ray Charles, and Big Mama Thornton, Elvis Presley turned their song "Hound Dog" into a #1 single on the pop, R&B, and country charts in 1956. Elvis went on to record more than 20 Leiber and Stoller titles, including the hits "Love Me," "Loving You," "Jailhouse Rock," "Treat Me Nice," "She's Not You," and "Bossa Nova Baby." Mike and Jerry signed an independent production deal with Atlantic Records in the mid-1950s, where they wrote and produced a series of hits for several artists, including the Drifters' "There Goes My Baby," "Dance With Me," and "On Broadway." Additionally, the pair wrote and produced all the Coasters' singles, including "Young Blood," "Searchin'," "Charlie Brown," "Along Came Jones," and "Poison Ivy." Other highlights from the Leiber and Stoller songbook include "Love Potion No. 9," which was a hit for both the Clovers and the Searchers, and "Is That All There Is," which was a hit for Peggy Lee. Eleven different versions of their song “Stand By Me” appeared on the Billboard charts over the span of 50 years, with the original version by Ben E. King hitting the Top 10 in both 1961 and 1986. Smokey Joe's Cafe, which included 40 Leiber and Stoller songs, opened in 1995 and became the longest running musical revue in Broadway history. Stoller received the prestigious ASCAP Founders Award in 1991, has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and is a member of both the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

This conversation with Roseanne Barr was exactly what I hoped it would be—real, unfiltered, and a little bit wild in the best way. We talked about her childhood in Salt Lake City, the moment she says God told her she'd have her own show when she was just three, and how that early vision shaped her entire worldview. She opened up about her rise in stand-up comedy, what it really took to get Roseanne on the air, and the battles she fought for creative control. But she didn't shy away from the hardest parts: the tweet that blew up her career, the accusations of racism, the fallout from being “canceled,” and how she sees media and politics today. Roseanne is blunt, sometimes controversial, but always raw and honest. She shared how she's rebuilt her life, why she still believes in pushing boundaries with comedy, and what matters most to her now—her family, her grandkids, and her personal freedom. If you think you know Roseanne Barr, this conversation might surprise you.
