Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ ⁠LEARN HOW:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tinyurl.com/2ph33u2s In this episode, we're talking about something that sounds simple but is profoundly difficult for most of us: unconditional love and radical acceptance. Not as spiritual concepts, and not as moral achievements, but as neurobiological states that directly impact healing, behavior change, and the way our nervous systems organize themselves. When we are locked in resistance — against our symptoms, our emotions, our past, or ourselves — the brain interprets that fight as danger. And a brain that believes it's under threat cannot create change. Radical acceptance is not “giving up” or “letting things slide,” but instead the very mechanism that allows stuck energy to move. This is the lubricant to the gears and the gas in the tank. When we stop waging war internally and begin relating to ourselves with unconditional love, the nervous system shifts out of defense. Pain softens. Fear loosens. Patterns that felt immovable begin to change. This conversation goes far beyond chronic pain — it's about the relationship you have with yourself, and why learning to stop fighting everything and everyone may be the most powerful act of healing there is.

Send us a textTeresa McMillan grew up in a Catholic home—but she didn't know what the Bible actually taught or what the Gospel truly meant. When her parents divorced, anger and rebellion took root. Teresa turned to partying, drinking, and destructive relationships, searching for freedom in all the wrong places.Everything changed when someone took the time to clearly explain the Gospel of Jesus Christ.After fully surrendering her life to Jesus, Teresa began experiencing freedom from the fear that had bound her since childhood. What followed was a radical transformation—from insecurity and fear to bold faith and obedience.Today, Teresa is a sold-out missionary with a calling to take the Gospel to all nations. She has already traveled to 83 of the world's 195 nations, including countries openly hostile to Christianity, boldly proclaiming the name of Jesus.In this powerful interview, Teresa shares her journey:From fear to boldnessFrom rebellion to surrenderFrom confusion to clarityFrom comfort to obedienceIf you've ever struggled with fear, uncertainty, or hesitation to fully follow Jesus, this testimony will encourage and challenge you.❤️ SHOW YOUR SUPPORT - LINKS BELOW...➡️ Email me: https://www.karlgessler.com/deliverance➡️ DONATE ➡️  Join our team!https://www.givesendgo.com/karlgesslerfamilybandhttps://www.patreon.com/karlgesslerhttps://cash.app/$KarlgesslerSocial Media➡️Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089357625739➡️Telegram - https://t.me/FaithoftheFathers➡️Truth Social - https://truthsocial.com/@UCLOvq6O4aIXLrkKxwXkq3uA#Christiantestimony #Evangelism #Missionarystories #Christianity #DiscipleshipSupport the show

Monique Tepe allegedly knew for eight years that Michael McKee had threatened to kill her. According to the unsealed affidavit, witnesses said he strangled her during their seven-month marriage, forced unwanted sex, and told her he could end her life whenever he wanted. She divorced him. She never filed a public police report. She rebuilt — married Spencer, had two children — while carrying that weight. On December 30th, she and Spencer were found dead in their Columbus home. McKee has pleaded not guilty despite surveillance footage, a ballistics match, and years of documented threats.Mica Miller called police fourteen times in her final months. She reported tracking devices. Harassment. Fear for her life. She told her family if she ended up with a bullet in her head, it wasn't by her — it was JP. Two days after serving Pastor JP Miller divorce papers, she was dead. Ruled a suicide. JP just pleaded not guilty to federal cyberstalking while the indictment alleges tracking, non-consensual nude photo distribution, fifty-plus contacts in a single day, and lies to investigators.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott — author of "The Minds of Mass Killers" and a DV survivor whose ex-husband died by revenge suicide — connects these cases. She explains the psychological burden of living under direct threat, why victims don't report, the forensic profile of defendants who treat prosecution as competition, and how coercive controllers weaponize every system designed to help their targets. Two women. Two systems that failed. Two men who allegedly believed consequences were for other people.#MoniqueTepe #MicaMiller #MichaelMcKee #JPMiller #HiddenKillersLive #ShavaunScott #CoerciveControl #DomesticViolence #SystemFailure #MindsOfMassKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Fear around money and business doesn't usually come from logic.
  It comes from conditioning.    In this episode, we're unpacking how fear gets wired into your nervous system, your decision-making, and your income patterns and how to consciously deprogram it without forcing confidence, bypassing emotions, or burning yourself out.    This is not about positive thinking or manifesting harder.
It's about understanding why fear shows up even when you are capable, skilled, and doing the right things and what actually changes it.    RESOURCES MENTIONED:    !!CLOSING!!:My Exclusive 2-Month Private Business Coaching Program APPLY HERE   (*Serious applicants only please)    **Year of the Snake Abundance Sale Ending** Make More Work Less: The Money Relationship Healing & Manifestation Program GET THIS LIMITED TIME OFFER HERE    >> Join the famous ProjectME Posse Business & Money Coaching Membership HERE    ONLY TIME THIS YEAR > 3 Days to Make Bank Online Live Training Series  Get your tickets HERE (hosted on a private YouTube Live!)    {FREE GIFT-LIMITED TIME} Walk into Your Wealthiest Season walking manifestation series + Guided Wealth Journal GET IT HERE    CONNECT WITH TIFF:  Tiffany on Instagram @projectme_with_tiffany   Tiffany on TikTok @projectme_with_tiffany  Tiffany on YouTube: ProjectME TV  Tiffany's FREE Abundance Email Community: JOIN HERE > The Secret Posse Digest     In this episode, we cover:  • Why fear around money is often learned, reinforced, and rewarded early on

  • How fear-based decision-making quietly caps income and growth
  • What it means to lead your business from safety instead of survival
  • The role of identity shifts in stabilizing money and momentum

Heather Ann Thompson, historian and Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Blood in the Water: The Attica Prison Uprising of 1971 and Its Legacy and her latest, Fear and Fury: The Reagan Eighties, the Bernie Goetz Shootings, and the Rebirth of White Rage (Pantheon, 2026) argues that the roots of white rage and violence can be traced back to the Reagan Era and, specifically, the Bernie Goetz shootings of four Black teenagers on a NYC subway in 1984.

Fisher Ames didn't just worry about democracy, he despised it.  In this episode of America's Founding Series, the life and ideas of Fisher Ames reveal why the Founders feared mob rule, moral absolutism, and political urgency driven by emotion rather than reason. Ames believed liberty survives only when passion is restrained by law, time, and reflection. As modern mobs reject disagreement, delegitimize institutions, and claim authority over the law itself, his warnings feel less like history and more like prophecy. What You'll Learn Why Fisher Ames believed democracy is driven by impulse, not reason The difference between citizens and mobs, why disagreement becomes betrayal, and the impact of social media on polarization and the mob mentality  How the Constitution was designed to slow emotional surges before they become law Why gridlock is a feature, not a flaw, in a functioning republic How moral certainty and urgency lead societies toward instability and despotism This episode connects America's founding principles to modern unrest and explains why a republic cannot survive when mobs replace law and emotion replaces judgment.

Don and Tom take on Elon Musk's claim that AI will make retirement saving obsolete, pushing back hard on the idea that technology or billionaires will somehow fund everyone's future. They examine why universal basic income is politically and mathematically unrealistic, remind listeners that past tech revolutions didn't magically create widespread wealth, and reinforce the importance of steady, diversified investing. The episode also tackles listener questions on HSAs, 529 rollovers, taxable account strategy, and tax efficiency, while weaving in commentary on work, purpose, behavior, and—once again—the ongoing menace of gas-powered leaf blowers. 0:04 Fear of AI and its supposed impact on money and jobs 1:52 Elon Musk's claim that retirement saving will become irrelevant 2:59 Why billionaires don't like sharing wealth 4:29 Historical tax rates and wealth distribution 6:21 Business Insider survey: 94% still plan to save 8:45 Why tech revolutions don't eliminate financial risk 9:59 Work, purpose, and retirement psychology 10:33 Universal basic income math and tax reality 11:54 Luddites and historical job displacement 12:55 Listener questions segment begins 13:18 HSA invested in Fidelity target-date fund 17:38 Overfunded 529 plans and Roth rollover rules 20:45 Taxable account strategy and balanced funds 23:28 Asset location and tax efficiency 24:49 Finding fund returns on Morningstar 25:46 Tom's Scottsdale meetings 26:45 War on gas-powered leaf blowers Learn more about your ad choices.

Epi 12Welcome back to The Cutting Edge Podcast with host Mel featuring Dr. Omar E. Beidas, MD, FACS (plastic surgeon) and Ashlyn Douglass Barnes, LCSW (therapist and post weight loss patient). In this episode of our Fear Series, we tackle one of the biggest hurdles before body contouring and plastic surgery after major weight loss: the fear of the unknown and the fear of regret.You'll hear what regret actually looks like in real life (hint: it's far less common than the fear of it), how unrealistic expectations can fuel anxiety, why “post op blues” can happen even when everything is going well, and what you can do before surgery to feel grounded, prepared, and confident. We also talk about how people treat you differently in a smaller body, how confidence can impact relationships, and why choosing the right procedure (and the right provider) matters if you want results you won't second guess.If you're researching tummy tuck, skin removal surgery, body contouring after weight loss, 360 lipo, breast lift or breast augmentation, or you're navigating the mental side of transformation, this one is for you.Watch nextIf you're new here, start the Fear Series from the beginning and then work your way through the topics in order for the full picture.What you'll learn in this episode• Why fear of regret is more common than actual regret• The top reasons people feel regret after plastic surgery (and how to avoid them)• How swelling, pain, recovery fatigue, and needing help can trigger “blues”• How to set realistic expectations for healing and final results• Why non invasive “skin tightening” options usually do not solve loose skin after major weight loss• How weight stability affects long term results• How body changes can shift attention, confidence, and relationships• How to choose the right procedure and avoid “internet validation” traps• What board certification and proper training really mean in aestheticsChapters0:18 Intro and Fear Series focus: fear of the unknown1:07 Fear of regret vs actual regret3:07 What plastic surgery means after major weight loss4:19 Post op blues, swelling, recovery expectations6:19 Surgery day realities and “the flip” discussion12:21 Picking the wrong procedure and online trends14:20 Beware unqualified aesthetic providers15:18 Loose skin facts after major weight loss18:04 Fear of social judgment and relationship changes21:46 How people treat you differently after weight loss27:47 Chasing perfection vs unrealistic expectations31:27 The viral “RGB implant” moment and internet misinformation35:26 Implant sizing and why many people wish they went bigger39:53 Weight stability, timing, and how surgeons “read” readiness44:49 Fear of regret and decision making stylesFeatured expertsDr. Omar E.

It's Thursday, February 5th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Sam Brownback: “Dictators fear religious freedom more than nuclear weapons” The International Religious Freedom Summit held its six annual meeting this week in Washington, D.C. Organizers reported nearly 80% of people around the world live in countries with high levels of restrictions on religion. The meeting identified China, Iran, Russia, Nigeria, and India as some of the worst countries for religious freedom. Sam Brownback, co-chair of the summit, said, “Ours is truly a global movement feared by dictators around the world because we represent the heart of freedom. They actually fear religious freedom more than they do aircraft carriers or even nuclear weapons.” In John 8:31-32, Jesus said, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” Finnish authorities continue to harass Christian Parliamentarian Attacks on religious freedom are rising in Europe as well. A prominent example is Finnish Parliamentarian Päivi Räsänen. She has faced trial three times for sharing her Christian beliefs online. Her case is now before Finland's top court.  Räsänen testified before the U.S. House Judiciary Committee yesterday in a hearing on Europe's threat to American speech. Concerning her case, she has warned, “If I would lose, it would mean … starting a time of persecution of Christians in Finland and also in Europe.” Listen to her comments at the hearing. RÄSÄNEN: “I have been supported by my faith and thousands of expressions of support I have received from around the world, including many from the U.S. Congress. “I remain hopeful. I trust that freedom of expression can still be upheld. It is too important to lose.” Will Europe ban social media for minors? European countries are considering measures to ban social media use for minors. France's National Assembly passed a bill last week that prohibits children under 15 from using social media. The bill heads to the French Senate. President Emmanuel Macron supports the measure. Similarly, Spain and Greece recently announced plans to ban social media use by teenagers there. This comes after Australia became the first country in the world to enforce such a ban last December. Trump signed $1.2 trillion funding bill In the United States, President Donald Trump signed a $1.2 trillion funding bill on Tuesday. This ends the partial government shutdown that began on Saturday. The bill did not including long-term funding for the Department of Homeland Security which includes U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Democrats are demanding changes to the agency before approving more funding.  700 of 3,000 ICE officers leave Minnesota Speaking of ICE, White House Border Czar Tom Homan  announced a drawdown of immigration enforcement officers in Minnesota yesterday. About 700 of the roughly 3,000 officers in the state are leaving. Homan's goal is a complete drawdown which depends on cooperation from local officials. He said, “We currently have an unprecedented number of counties communicating with us now and allowing ICE to take custody of illegal aliens before they hit the streets.” Washington Hospital ends transgender mutilations The News Tribune reports a hospital in Washington State is ending its mutilating transgender surgeries. MultiCare Mary Bridge Children's Hospital in Tacoma cited loss of funding under the Trump administration for the closure. President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order in January 2025, protecting children from chemical and surgical mutilation. Last year, over 20 hospitals began rolling back such practices. Walmart first retailer to reach $1 trillion market capitalization Walmart became the first retailer to reach a market capitalization of one trillion dollars on Tuesday. The list of trillion dollar companies has been dominated by tech companies. Not surprisingly, Walmart's record valuation is accompanied by recent growth in its online business and investment in Artificial Intelligence technology.  1,161st anniversary of Anskar, missionary to Denmark and Sweden And finally, this week is the anniversary of the death of Anskar, the first missionary to Denmark and Sweden. The traditional date of his death is February 3, A.D. 865. Anskar was known as the “Apostle to the North” for his work of evangelism in Scandinavia.   Historian A.D. Jorgensen wrote of the missionary, “He possessed a rare eloquence both in preaching and in common talk, so that he left on all men an extraordinary impression: the mighty and haughty were frightened by his tone of authority, the poor and humble looked to him as to a father, whilst his equals loved him as a brother. …. What he carried out in the thirty-­three years of his bishopric was of imperishable importance.” In Romans 1:16, the Apostle Paul wrote, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, February 5th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

For the past year, expanded federal immigration enforcement – and two fatal shootings of protesters by federal agents in Minnesota – have sent ripples of anxiety throughout the country. While the St. Louis area hasn't seen the kind of large-scale enforcement actions that have occurred elsewhere, local community leaders, educators and small-business owners say fear and misinformation are shaping daily life. STLPR journalists Brian Munoz and Hiba Ahmad discuss their reporting on this topic.

President Donald Trump's second term in office has been marked by a sharp shift in immigration policy and enforcement efforts — including deadly confrontations in Minneapolis. While St. Louis hasn't seen immigration raids like those, and the Trump administration hasn't announced any, community members are still on edge about the possibility.

In this "presidential summit," Brian Miller talks with Brent Sleasman, president of Winebrenner Theological Seminary, about why human-to-human interaction is becoming more important—not less—in an age of remote work, economic pressure, and accelerating AI. They explore the surprising value of presence (even silent presence on Zoom), the tradeoffs between convenience and community, and why the future threat may not be "AI takes over," but "we accept a life where we don't have to show up." Brent offers practical "resistance" practices: choose the right communication medium for the message, and become aware of how environments (digital and physical) quietly shape relationships. Big Ideas & Takeaways Presence is doing more work than we can explain. Brian describes long silent pauses on Zoom with close friends—awkward on paper, deeply meaningful in reality. Remote work is rational…and still costly. Brent names the tension: economics, childcare, and flexibility push us away from in-person life, even though we're built for connection. "Soft skills" aren't soft. They're survival skills. Can you make a phone call? Handle conflict politely? Speak to a real human when it's uncomfortable? Employers increasingly care. AI's superpower is efficiency—our humanity includes limits. Brent warns that AI can outpace human pace, tempting us to treat limits as defects instead of features. The bigger danger may be delightful surrender. Brian pushes back on the fantasy that it would be "great" if AI removes the need for human responsibility, effort, and showing up. Fear sells. Pay attention to who benefits. Brent cautions that AI panic can become a marketing strategy: frighten people, then sell them the solution. The cultural fork: Orwell vs. Huxley. Brent references Neil Postman: the threat may not be suppressed truth (1984), but being anesthetized by pleasure and convenience (Brave New World). Memorable Moments / Quotes (paraphrased) "We're just sitting there…quiet…looking at each other…and it feels important." "It makes no sense financially to go in person… and yet I feel like I need to go." "AI is off-the-chart efficient. What if humans aren't designed to be highly efficient?" "You're still the one hitting send." Practices Brent Recommends Match the medium to the message. Ask: Is this a text? An email? A call? A visit? Don't force one tool to do another tool's job. Raise your awareness of your environments. Tech and space shape relationships. Rooms, furniture, screens, workflows—none are neutral. They were designed, so they can be redesigned. Conversation Outline (Timestamp-ish) 00:00–02:30 Why human-to-human interaction will matter more (remote work, AI, lived experience) 02:30–06:00 The strange value of silence and presence (Zoom pauses, men's group) 06:00–10:40 Remote work tension + economics as a force pulling us away from in-person 10:40–18:50 Seminary/community: what changes, what doesn't; hybrid connection and annual in-person "anchor" time 18:50–27:40 AI: efficiency vs. humanity; the temptation to avoid real people; "I don't want AI to write—I want to write" 27:40–30:00 Postman, Brave New World, and resisting "pleasant" dehumanization 30:00–34:05 Practical resistance: medium choices + environmental awareness; close and call to action Listener Reflection Questions Where have you traded presence for convenience—and what has it cost you? What relationships need a phone call or a coffee instead of one more email? What "environment" (phone, office layout, family rhythms, tech stack) is shaping you more than you're shaping it?

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, WMAL's Larry O'Connor fills in for Mark. Why do the Democrats not want to vote on SAVE act? This is a straightforward and uncontroversial bill, as it simply requires proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote and presentation of photo ID at the polling place on election day. 83% of Americans favor photo ID but Democrats complain that it's racist and for labeling it Jim Crow 2.0. It's not just Democrats, Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune let this act  sit idle for 300 days and then he downplays it and refuses to force a filibuster fight or making it a top priority. This is weak leadership on a fundamental issue of election integrity. Also, there is progress in resisting the harmful transgender cult pushed by medical professionals, educators, and elites, who pressure parents into allowing minors to undergo irreversible interventions like pharmaceutical hormone treatments and surgeries. There are two recent stories that provide encouraging news: a NY jury awarded $2 million to a young female detransitioner who sued her doctor and psychologist for malpractice after regretting a double mastectomy performed on her as a teenager. Additionally, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons has become the first major U.S. medical association to recommend against gender transition surgeries for youths, advising delays until at least age 19 due to insufficient evidence of benefits outweighing risks. We should celebrate these as victories for common sense, sanity, rational thinking, and child protection. Later, three questions the Democrat party Presidential nominees need to answer: will you reverse President Trump's border polices? Will you tear down the new White House ballroom? Can a man get pregnant? Answering these appropriately to satisfy the current Democratic Party base would secure the nomination but alienate most normal voters in the general election, making a general election win impossible.

In this solo episode, I reflect on how parenting has changed since the 90s, and not always for the better. This episode is not about going backward or rejecting progress. It is about blending what we know now about emotions and development with what used to work well, giving kids space, time, and trust to grow. I explore how constant comparison, nonstop information, overscheduling, and screens have shifted parenting toward fear and control, often leaving parents exhausted and kids overwhelmed. I share why boredom matters, why independence is built in small moments, and how parenting feels lighter when it is guided by values instead of perfection. In this episode, I talk about: Why independence is a skill kids build through small, age-appropriate freedoms Why bullying feels heavier now, and how protecting home as a safe space matters How overscheduling crowds out confidence, creativity, and rest Why boredom is not a problem, but a skill kids need to practice A values-based approach to screens, using them intentionally instead of automatically Why errands, car rides, and everyday moments are real opportunities for growth Why doing less can help both kids and parents feel calmer and more confident 00:00 Parenting Like It's 1996 01:39 The Park Moment and Independence 02:56 Fear, Comparison, and Information Overload 05:45 Overscheduling and the Loss of Boredom 07:16 Screens Then vs Screens Now 11:15 Why Boredom Builds Confidence 13:00 Kids Belong in the Real World 13:58 What Parenting Has Improved 16:09 The Permission to Do Less 17:12 Letting Go of Perfect Parenting Our podcasts are also now on YouTube.

In today's shorter episode, Ashley shares a grounded check-in for the month ahead. She explores the three areas she feels are most important to focus on right now: intuition, a healthy body, and a regulated, grounded nervous system. Drawing from a brief personal story and Akashic guidance for February, this episode invites listeners to slow down and turn inward. Ashley also encourages listeners to receive current world events with both compassion and curiosity, and to ask themselves, "what am I being shown right now?" This opens a deeper level of healing and a different way of navigating energy that can feel dense and heavy. Short, powerful, lighthearted and fun, this episode is a reminder that the body never lies and that intuition becomes clear when the nervous system feels safe.
