Today on Uncommon Sense, we're discussing the tragic state of the modern world.From the protests in Ireland to growing frustration across Western nations, many people feel as though their voices are no longer being heard by the institutions that claim to represent them. I'll share why I support the right of people to protest and why I believe the demonstrations in Ireland have resonated with so many people around the world.We'll also discuss what I see as a deeper spiritual crisis affecting modern society. Many of the political, cultural, and social problems we face today are symptoms of a broader moral and spiritual decline, one that cannot be solved through politics alone.In this episode:My thoughts on the protests in IrelandWhy so many citizens now feel disconnected from their governmentsThe growing divide between ordinary people and powerful institutionsThe role of faith, morality, and personal responsibility in rebuilding societyWhy I believe many of today's crises point to a deeper spiritual battleWhether you agree or disagree, this episode is an invitation to think critically about the direction of our culture, our governments, and our future.--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app

Happy Mother's Day to all of the incredible mothers out there. Today's episode is a deeper conversation about the urgent need for stronger, more biblical men and women in our culture, people willing to stand for truth, protect the vulnerable, and refuse to stay silent in the face of evil.We discuss the ongoing outrage surrounding the Epstein files, the lack of accountability for powerful people, and the broader cultural failure to protect victims from wicked and predatory individuals. But this conversation goes beyond headlines. It's about morality, courage, justice, faith, and what happens when societies stop valuing strong families, strong character, and biblical principles.This episode is ultimately about hope too, because evil does not win forever. Real justice matters, truth matters, and good people still have a responsibility to speak up.
Masculinity is under attack, leaving an entire generation of boys and men without purpose, discipline, or direction. This episode examines the culture's war on boys and men and the growing crisis of character, leadership, and responsibility. In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano sits down with Benjamin Carey, host of the Byronic Heroes Podcast and President and Cofounder of Long Island Elite Football, to examine how traditional masculine virtues have been ridiculed, suppressed, and mislabeled as toxic. As society bashes strength, drive, and assertiveness, too many young men are being stripped of the tools they need to lead, succeed, and take responsibility. This conversation explores how culture and institutions helped create this crisis, why masculinity matters, and what fathers, coaches, and mentors must do to restore discipline, purpose, and leadership in the next generation. What You'll Learn How culture and institutions helped create the crisis facing boys and men Why strength, drive, and assertiveness are not toxic when properly channeled What fathers, coaches, and mentors must do to restore discipline and purpose How sports and structured competition help build grounded, accountable young men Why restoring masculine virtue is essential to leadership and social stability

What happens when the definition of marriage changes?In this conversation, Katy Faust, founder of Them Before Us, explains how cultural, legal, and technological shifts reshaped marriage and family law — and why she believes those changes have had profound consequences for children.Faust argues that when marriage was redefined primarily around adult desires and fulfillment, the structure that once connected children to their mother and father was fundamentally altered. She explains how developments like no-fault divorce, reproductive technologies, and the legal redefinition of marriage have changed the way society understands parenthood and family.The central question she raises is simple but controversial:What happens to children when marriage stops being organized around their needs?This discussion explores the history of these changes, the legal implications, and the broader cultural debate about marriage, parenthood, and children's rights.Watch the full conversation to hear Katy Faust's perspective on one of the most debated issues in modern family policy.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction00:42 Why Katy Faust Started Them Before Us02:05 The Cultural Shift Around Marriage04:00 The First Redefinition of Marriage: No-Fault Divorce06:30 The Role of Technology in Reshaping Parenthood08:45 How Children Became Secondary in Family Law10:50 Why Biology Matters in Parenting14:05 Adoption vs Reproductive Technologies17:45 What Obergefell Changed About Parenthood Law20:20 Are Children Becoming a Commodity?23:15 The Greater Than Campaign Explained26:10 How Christians Should Respond to Cultural Change30:30 Truth, Compassion, and Difficult ConversationsRESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODEThem Before Ushttps://thembeforeus.com/Greater Than Campaignhttps://greaterthancampaign.com/Katy Faust Websitehttps://katyfaust.com/Book: Them Before Us — Why We Need a Global Children's Rights Movementhttps://katyfaust.com/books/Book: Raising Conservative Kids in a Woke Cityhttps://katyfaust.com/books/Join us weekly as we strive help people embrace God's standard for sexuality!

Disclaimer: this episode is based on my proprietary behavior mapping system. This system is used in conjunction with a discovery conversation I have with an individual. In the case of mapping public figures this is purely an independent analysis and opinion based on publicly available research. See citations below article. Transcript: You’re probably like me in that you’re a very visual person. (see below!) Well, hey there. Welcome back. Let’s talk Elon Musk. But before we do that, let’s talk about behavioral mapping and my book BeCAUSE!. Freud’s Pleasure Principle: Monsters and Unicorns Okay, wait. We have to back up from that and we have to talk about Freud’s pleasure principle. If you are an old fan of this show, you’ve probably heard me say this a bunch of times, but let’s sum it up really quickly. Freud’s pleasure principle is based on the fact that we are binary individuals. We seek pleasure, we avoid pain. Everything and anything we do is broken down into those things. I’ve had a number of episodes on this and the book BeCAUSE! is based on this, but I give the seeking pleasure and the avoiding pain a face. The seeking pleasure is a unicorn and the avoiding pain is a monster. They are neither good nor bad. They are not devils and angels. They simply are. Visualizing Behavior: My New Mapping Software After the book BeCAUSE! came out, I ended up developing patent pending behavioral mapping software. It’s software that allows me to actually map this stuff out. And you’re probably like me in that you’re a very visual person. This episode might be a little bit longer than my self-imposed 10-minute limit, so please bear with me. Paradoxically, when I talk about Elon Musk, I actually want you to not be thinking of him, but to be thinking of you. Every episode of this podcast starts out as an article on Alchemy for Life. This one is no different, and you’ll be able to see the visual mapping on the site if you’d like. You can follow along on there or if you’re listening in your car, you can just visualize based on what I’m telling you. Deconstructing Elon Musk: The Childhood Trauma Most people are familiar with Elon Musk. He’s a rather polarizing person. He’s someone who won’t stop talking about going to Mars and now the moon. He’s someone who created an empire. He owns Tesla, SpaceX, Twitter, now X, the Boring Company, and X AI. He’s had some romances. He’s currently not married and he has a lot of children. What most people don’t know is what I actually found out in the map showing why all of this is happening. And again, because audio is literally linear, meaning you talk in a straight line, you stop it. You can’t go into branches and things like that. It’s a little harder in audio to tell you what something on a screen can tell you, but I’ll do the best I can. When he was young, the family dog bit him. It was actually a pretty vicious bite, but he was terrified that the dog was going to be put down. He needed medical attention, but he kept refusing it because he said, “You need to promise you’re not going to put the dog down.” Unfortunately, they put the dog down. And this was a very traumatic thing. And I can imagine for myself, and I’m sure you’re thinking about this, too, that’s a very traumatic thing to have to go through. You blame yourself. You think, well, maybe there’s something I could have done to not have the dog bite me. It’s horrible, horrible feeling. And it’s a feeling of losing something and someone that’s really important to you. You feel like you’re literally responsible for the death of a living creature. and that you have no control. So imagine that. It puts a pretty strong pleasure center. It puts a pretty strong unicorn in place that says, “Hey, follow me and you’ll have more control. You want more control.” Yes, I want more control. As with a lot of things, sometimes you also have the opposite in place. You have a monster that says, “It really feels bad to lose control.” And I’m sure you can understand that. I’m sure there are times in your life when you’ve lost control for some reason and you vowed to never lose that control again. Whether you were placed in a very unfortunate position due to your job or relationship or or even in your childhood The Teenage Existential Crisis when he was a teenager and we all remember just how wonderful and clear thinking we were as teenagers. He read both Shopenhau and Nietzsche. And I’ll tell you that Nichi is actually on my wall among five other people. But it’s not exactly something you would read out loud at like a children’s birthday party. So for him, he deeply regretted reading that stuff because it created in him an existential crisis. And imagine that’s essentially what being a teenager is, is having an existential crisis. You you question life. you’re halfway between being an adult and being a child. So reading that created in him a monster of avoiding the feeling of having existential dread and personal meaninglessness. We all want purpose in our life. Imagine removing that as a teenager. Imagine questioning all of that and saying, “Oh my god, this feels terrible. I I I can’t experience this.” So, conversely, it creates the unicorn that makes it feel really good when you feel purpose and meaning. It’s the same one most of us would have. The Scars of Bullying and Humiliation When he was in school, he was severely bullied and beaten basically to the point of not being recognizable. Some of us were bullied, maybe all of us were bullied. And it tends to shape us sometimes in bad ways and sometimes in good ways. But to compound this, when he came home to his father, his father blamed him for this and made him stand for 2 hours while he bered him and called him a loser. How would you respond to that? How would you psychologically speaking respond to that so that it would never happen to you again? You would have a monster that would be very strong in making sure you avoid humiliation and being vulnerable. And from the bullying, obviously you would have a monster that would say, “I’m never going to be bullied again. Never.” This is probably the first time you’re hearing about a lot of this stuff. Probably what you tend to hear about Elon Musk is his purchase or he makes a decision that you think is chaotic or egotistical. you’ve probably never heard any of this other stuff unless you have read his bio or multiple bios and things like that. Connecting the Trauma to the Billionaire’s Actions So, now that you know the monsters and unicorns that he has in place, what actions did these cause? Well, let’s go through them. If you’re trying to avoid the pain of bullying and the monster keeps getting in the way and saying, “You’re going to be bullied. Don’t do that.” Wouldn’t you be a bit combative on social media? Wouldn’t you make sure that in an interview you’re not going to be bullied? Wouldn’t you make sure that when you are dealing with the feds or other court systems or other CEOs that you would tend not to back down? In fact, maybe even not back down even when it’s to your detriment. If you’re avoiding the pain and fear of scarcity because of what happened with your dog and that you had no control over that, and you’re avoiding the pain of humiliation and especially vulnerability and bullying because of the place you’re in as someone who is almost a trillionaire, would it not affect your approach on forming a family? If you are married and have children, you are in a position of vulnerability. You have more vulnerability right now than someone who, let’s say, doesn’t have children or isn’t married. If you’re in a loving relationship, that’s part for the course. It comes with the territory. It’s something you welcome. But if you combine a fear of scarcity and you’ve developed a sort of pleasure for having absolute sovereignty and control of any and all outcomes and you have a terrible monster that makes it feel horrible. If you are losing control, you would be in a unique position to want to perpetuate the human race, but not in a traditional way that causes vulnerability. which is why he has 14 children across four different women and he is presently not married to any of them. This monster for avoiding pain and the fear of scarcity, working together with this pleasure of having absolute sovereignty and control and this extremely strong unicorn pulling him towards the feeling of purpose and meaning would obviously lead him to the creation of Space X so that he could continue to make the race multilanetary. Oh, and that monster telling him that scarcity feels bad, he helps as well. And guess who’s also looking over his shoulder? The monster that’s avoiding him having the feeling of existential dread and personal meaninglessness. You’re definitely listening to that monster if you are trying to perpetuate the human race on another planet. If you are avoiding losing control and you certainly enjoy the absolute sovereignty of being able to change the outcome and you enjoy the feeling of purpose and meaning and you’re terrified of having existential dread and personal meaninglessness, would you not purchase the most well-known social media platform in your attempt, at least according to you, to save free speech? Mapping Your Own Monsters and Unicorns Whether you’re a fan or not of Elon, whether you’re completely neutral or not, you can’t help but empathize with some of the things I’ve described. And like I said, you’re more likely to think of you than of him in these situations. What would you do? What have you experienced? What emotional turmoil have you gone through? What horrible things have you gone through in your childhood, in your teens, and even in your adult life that have shaped who you are? Those things just don’t go away. They stay with you for life. Your monsters and unicorns sort of show up and they take residence in your brain. If it sounded a little bit like I was all over the map, well, quite literally, I was. I worked through the visual map that I’m looking at right now and it’s the same one you might be looking at or that you will look at after the podcast. I found the research on this fascinating and I did find that things logically led to other things. It the pattern, the map, it all just sort of unveiled itself to me based on what I have created and what I have established. I didn’t run into any dead ends. I didn’t find something that contradicted something else. It all actually made sense. And that’s what led to the writing of BeCAUSE!—it all just continued to make sense and make sense and make sense and sometimes in an unnerving way. Look, I understand we don’t want to be deconstructed. We we we want to feel whole and sometimes thinking about monsters and unicorns and little programmatic psychological building blocks can sometimes be a little bit unnerving, but it can also be revealing. And the beauty of this is that it’s neither good nor bad. Sure, you can have a monster in place that’s doing something that’s really messing up your life, but that same monster might also be helping you in another aspect of your life. It’s about you recognizing it and not allowing it to have the control over your life that you don’t want. And ultimately, you stay in the driver’s seat. Conclusion So, I hope you enjoyed this. I did. I certainly enjoyed mapping all this out and doing the research. In fact, I did this for two other people. It made me reflect on my own monsters and unicorns, and I hope it did the same for you. If you’re indeed curious, feel free to pick up a copy of BeCAUSE!. And if you’re curious about your own map, let me know. The behavioral mapping done, purely as an independent analysis and opinion based on publicly available research.

Context: Isaacson’s authorized biography details the specific incident where Musk was beaten so severely by bullies he was hospitalized for four days. Upon returning home, his father, Errol Musk, made him stand in front of him for two hours, called him a “loser,” and sided with the boy who attacked him. The Teenage Existential Crisis (Schopenhauer and Nietzsche): Source: Multiple interviews, including a notable deep-dive interview detailed in CleanTechnica (2018) and referenced in Isaacson’s biography. Context: Musk has publicly stated multiple times, “We happened to have some books by Nietzsche and Schopenhauer in the house, which you should not read at age 14. It is bad, it’s really negative.” He credits this period of reading with triggering a severe teenage existential crisis, leading to his lifelong obsession with finding “the meaning of life” and “understanding the right questions to ask” (which birthed the Unicorn of seeking purpose). The Dog Bite Trauma: Source: Elon Musk by Walter Isaacson (2023). Context: The biography details the incident where a young Elon was viciously bitten by a dog. He refused medical treatment until he was promised the dog wouldn’t be put down. The adults broke the promise and put the dog down anyway, cementing his early trauma regarding powerlessness, scarcity, and broken trust. Family Structure (14 Children / 4 Women): Source: Forbes Billionaires Profile (Updated March 2026).

Today we're trashing feminism some more, because it obviously deserves it. Feminism is not only unbiblical, it's extremely destructive for all of society. We'll talk about why Christian podcasters like Allie Beth Stuckey shouldn't defend their feminism while claiming to follow Christ, and why Christianity itself is a patriarchy, by God's design. It's time for biblical men to stop waiting for permission from feminists and take back the authority God gave them. We'll also discuss more of the Trump administration's mistakes, including this ridiculous new 50-year mortgage idea that proves how far from wisdom our leaders have fallen.
Today we're discussing the debate between feminists and non-feminists, and why I side with the non-feminists for biblical reasons. Just because women can do some of what men do doesn't mean we should. We'll also continue discussing the Charlie Kirk case, Erika Kirk's strange behavior, why being a widow doesn't automatically make you innocent, and why it's deeply concerning that TPUSA refuses to distance itself from Israel, even as Charlie's final words publicly challenged Israel, Judaism, and the control of figures like Ben Shapiro over the conservative movement.

It explores the forces that laud the family unit, and those that endanger it. She highlights the failures of American society to support the family structure and children by juxtaposing them with the more successful efforts of other nations.

When we talk about the issues facing our cities—violence, inequality, broken trust—we often miss the root cause: the breakdown of the family.Adam B. Coleman, founder of Wrong Speak Publishing, co-founder of the THIRST Network, author, and public speaker, joins Jim Iuorio and Bob Iaccino on Futures Edge to unpack how fatherlessness, fractured homes, and shifting cultural values are quietly unraveling society.They explore the generational impact of family instability, the emotional and economic toll of separation, and the hidden ways trauma shapes relationships. From confidence in young women to the role of faith in restoring stability, this conversation challenges the narratives that normalize dysfunction—and offers a path to healing through personal, spiritual, and societal accountability.More than a diagnosis, it's a call to rebuild what truly matters: healthy families, strong foundations, and love that lasts.CHAPTERS: Introduction and Sponsor Acknowledgment - 00:00Guest Introduction: Adam Coleman - 01:30Discussion on Urban Economics and Family Structure - 03:00Adam Coleman's Personal Story - 05:00The Impact of Family Separation - 08:00Government's Role in Family Dynamics - 12:00Cultural Issues and Fatherlessness - 15:00The Importance of Two-Parent Homes - 20:00Social Media and Relationship Dynamics - 25:00Religion and Family Stability - 30:00Choosing Partners and Relationship Advice - 35:00Book Promotion and Audience Engagement - 40:00Closing Remarks and Sponsor Acknowledgment - 45:00

TakeawaysAttachment theory focuses on the formation of healthy, loving, and collaborative relationships.There are three main attachment styles: secure, avoidant, and anxious.Attachment issues can be formed in childhood due to various factors, such as lack of bonding with parents or traumatic experiences.Birth experiences may impact attachment formation, but it is possible to improve attachment styles through explicit love and nurturing.Bonding hormones, such as oxytocin, GABA, vasopressin, and serotonin, play a crucial role in attachment and can be influenced by positive experiences.Collaboration and asking questions are essential tools for parents to create secure attachment with their children.Divorce can have a significant impact on attachment styles, and it is crucial to provide context and foster oxytocin bonding with adopted children.Couples with different attachment styles can improve their relationship by being explicit about their needs, fostering collaboration, and building a marriage agreement.The breakdown of the family structure over the past century has led to challenges in attachment and relationship dynamics.Providing a safe and nurturing environment is key to developing secure attachment in both parent-child and couple relationships. Solving problems together in a relationship opens up oxytocin receptors and fosters intimacy and connection.Avoidant attachment style is characterized by a wall up, lack of trust, and an emphasis on survival. Anxious attachment style is characterized by a fear of abandonment and a focus on pleasing others.Enmeshment is a form of insecure attachment where boundaries are poor and caretaking becomes the responsibility of the child.Secure attachment involves open and explicit communication, clear boundaries, and a focus on generosity and adjusting for reality.Attachment styles can vary in different relationships and situations, but fostering secure attachment at home is crucial for healthy relationships outside the home.Nature and genetics may play a role in attachment, but it is the parent's job to nurture and guide their child towards secure attachment.Building a self-correcting family system where open communication and resolution of issues is encouraged is more important than striving for perfection as a parent.Find Adam Lane Smith HERE.

Cities like Boston are even ranked among the loneliest in America.Dr. Gabe sits down with Kristal Kleer and Desiree for a candid, eye-opening conversation about the future of relationships—specifically, the growing trend of lifelong singleness among Millennials and Gen Z.

Today, we're discussing the tragic murder of Austin Metcalf — a case that's not just heartbreaking but deeply revealing of a larger cultural crisis we need to address head-on. I'll be sharing my raw thoughts on what happened, and more importantly, having the uncomfortable (but necessary) conversation surrounding crime statistics in the black community.If we're ever going to see real change — fewer senseless killings, safer neighborhoods, and stronger families — then we have to stop tiptoeing around the truth. It's time to talk about why these patterns keep repeating and what cultural shifts must happen to break the toxic and deadly cycle.This isn't about hate — it's about accountability, truth, and the fight for life, stability, and genuine justice.—https://policecoffee.com/?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAACG7qmLTSF8TidU6uJpGkHMYzxsnd&gclid=Cj0KCQjwqcO_BhDaARIsACz62vPh4GA_6w_PdX8w4PW0sRhPD76KOyhYBmiEOdpiLXHP1G10c9kaPMEaAkK-EALw_wcB

"A true number three is often sensitive and creative, laughing on the outside but crying on the inside." "Children with ADHD often represent a 'double birth order,' where their traits are heightened and require unique attention." "Blended families introduce new dynamics; any child who gets demoted in birth order will often struggle to adapt." "Sibling rivalry plays a critical role in determining a child's true birth order and personality traits." "Firstborns are natural leaders who thrive on responsibility, while second-borns often excel socially or athletically to differentiate themselves." "Treating all your children the same is a mistake—each child is unique and requires individualized support." "Parents must understand their own birth order and how it interacts with their children's dynamics." "Understanding double birth orders can unlock hidden patterns in family behavior and relationships." "Birth order isn't just theory—it's visible in family photo albums, high school reunions, and even at Thanksgiving dinner tables."

The nuclear family is the backbone of a strong society—without it, we will crumble. In this episode, we're talking about Elon Musk's latest love child with Ashley St. Clair and why Conservatives cannot fall into the trap of normalizing single motherhood and reckless men who create broken families. Strong individuals come from strong families. When the family unit collapses, people become weak, directionless, and ultimately easier for the government to exploit. The more broken the home, the more dependent the individual. And guess who loves that? The people in power who want control over your life. So, we are talking biblical gender roles, marriage, family, and why morals will always matter—even if they stop mattering to everyone else. A father's leadership and a mother's nurturing aren't interchangeable, and no amount of modern delusion will change that. Children need both a mother and a father in the home. And no, morals don't change for you once you're rich. Wh*re culture needs to die because the next generation is at stake.--https://policecoffee.com/?srsltid=AfmBOooc599VmOCGa3oE2DnVcJ4uLA69XDoBZf8ChiOpFqVfKc_BASiR

In this episode of Patriarchy Principles, host Jay and guest Erin discuss the concept of 'soul sickness' affecting families and society. They explore the importance of raising children with strong moral values, the necessity of truth in parenting, and the impact of societal norms on children's development. The conversation delves into the role of God in society, the dangers of conformity, and the need for honest discussions about identity and gender. They emphasize the importance of allowing children to be kids and the consequences of fear-mongering in modern parenting. In this engaging conversation, Jey and Erin discuss various societal issues, including crime trends, the evolution of family dynamics, the impact of education, the importance of spirituality, and the need for political discourse and unity. They emphasize the significance of community action and the role of prayer in navigating the complexities of modern life. The dialogue reflects on the challenges faced by families and individuals in today's society, advocating for a return to core values and a more connected community. Takeaways Raising Patriots is about instilling good values in children. Truth is essential for children to navigate the world. Children need to learn how to handle reality and truth. Societal norms can negatively impact children's development. Parents should encourage open discussions about identity and gender. The absence of God in society contributes to moral decline. Fear-mongering in media affects parenting choices. Children should be allowed to play and explore freely. Honest conversations about politics and religion are necessary. The evolution of crime and safety reflects societal changes. Crime rates have fluctuated significantly over the decades, with recent upticks linked to economic stress and social changes. The decline of the nuclear family has contributed to various societal issues, including crime and disconnection. Education systems often prioritize conformity over critical thinking, limiting individual potential. Spirituality and prayer are seen as vital tools for personal empowerment and community strength. Political discourse has become polarized, yet there is a call for unity and understanding across differing viewpoints. Community action and engagement are essential for addressing societal challenges and fostering change. The importance of family dinners and togetherness has diminished in modern society, impacting relationships. Economic pressures force families to work longer hours, often at the expense of quality time with children. The media's rapid news cycle can lead to desensitization and a lack of emotional processing for significant events. A return to core values and community support is necessary for healing and growth.

"Presence is more than just being in the same room." "The education system is broken and damaging our society." "You get what you incentivize in society."
