Hank interviews award winning author Nancy Pearcy about her article, “Sex, Lies, and Secularism” in the Christian Research Journal on the consequences of secular humanism, and the way youth have become secular in their behavior.Hank also answers the following questions:What is the biblical protocol for marriage? Must a priest or pastor officiate the wedding? Gary - San Jose, CA (16:12)What about the practice of an evangelist prophesying over the life of a person and telling what will happen in the future?

Nineteenth-century Germany invented the way we eat. Women experimenting in households, French chefs fleeing guillotines, and one of the most rapidly evolving food industries in the world forged recognizably modern eating practices between 1780 and 1910. While central Europeans merely aimed to survive long winters, experiment with translated recipes and curious ingredients from abroad, and embrace the conveniences of industrial life, their consumption habits and cooking practices created a new product landscape. Throughout this transitional era of history, individuals visibly communicated their self-understandings through food. The Making of Modern Eating: How the German Middle Class Forged the Way We Eat, 1780–1910 (Berghahn, 2026) by Dr. Claudia Kreklau provides a study of central European food modernity and middle-class identity aims to provide fresh footing for discussions in our own changing global era. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In this deeply inspiring episode of the Forged in the Fires Podcast, Fireman Rob sits down with Ken Kunken, whose life story is the definition of resilience, perseverance, and purpose.After suffering a catastrophic spinal cord injury while playing college football, Ken was told he would never walk again. Instead of allowing tragedy to define his future, he rebuilt his life through determination, education, and an unbreakable mindset—becoming a successful attorney, adaptive athlete, motivational speaker, husband, and father.Ken shares the physical and emotional battles he faced following his injury, the mindset shifts that helped him move forward, and the importance of focusing on what is still possible rather than what was lost. His story is a powerful reminder that adversity does not end your purpose—it can strengthen it.This episode is about perspective, perseverance, and redefining limitations.

This Empowering Moment examines the habits, distractions, relationships, and commitments that may be consuming valuable time, energy, and attention.

John breaks down what it means to live intentionally, matter deeply, and design a life that reflects who you truly are—not just what you achieve.If you've ever reached a milestone and still felt something was missing, this conversation will resonate deeply.
Kilian Korth joined the show to have a discussion around ultrarunning's growing professionalization without sophisticated regulated drug testing, the limits and trade-offs of WADA/USADA-style regimes, and why "doping" as a blanket term obscures intent and severity. We unpack gray areas such as THC thresholds, TUE complexity for common medications, transparency vs backlash, influencer incentives, and the future pressure regenerative medicine and technology (e.g., super shoes) may place on sport rules. Kilian: IG: @runtoughmindset | Substack: https://substack.com/@runtoughmindset Sponsors: LMNT: https://drinkLMNT.com/HPO (free sample pack with purchase) deltaG: https://deltagketones.com Code: BITTER20 (20% Off) True Nutrition: https://truenutrition.com/hpo Code: HPO (20% Off) Episode Summary & Notes: Zach Bitter & Kilian Korth on PEDs, incentives, and doping in ultrarunning Context & framing Conversation is the third appearance by Kilian on Zach's podcast; shifts from traditional training/racing episodes toward current events in running. Sparked by recent doping-related controversies (Cam Hanes / Sage Canaday online conflict, Mike McKnight's discussion of BPC-157 use on Hanes' podcast). Both emphasize moving beyond narrow focus on specific peptides/cases to broader structural issues. Activism, incentives & tribalism Skepticism of modern activism: good causes often get distorted by perverse incentives (attention, platform growth, organizational self-preservation/mission creep). Online environments (especially short-form social media) reward polarization over curiosity or truth-seeking. Parallel drawn to low-carb diet advocacy: movement shifted from exploration of pros/cons toward dietary supremacy and identity attachment. Both hosts value changing one's mind with new evidence and prefer evolving conversations over tribal "debates" aimed at winning. Core problem in ultrarunning Rapid professionalization and financial incentives exist, but sophisticated testing (especially out-of-competition) is essentially absent. Honor-code system + high rewards creates conditions in which some athletes near the top are likely to use PEDs. Contrast with Olympic sports (e.g., swimming) where positives occur even with lower financial stakes. "Doping" is an unhelpful blanket term that equates intentional, high-impact cheating (e.g., EPO) with gray-area or accidental cases. BPC-157 and gray areas BPC-157 is an experimental peptide with very limited human data (one small study of 12 people among 36 total studies reviewed). Anecdotally has been used for tendon/muscle healing; on the WADA banned list at all times (no TUE pathway currently). Gray areas exist in WADA criteria themselves (performance enhancement potential, health risk, "spirit of the sport"). THC example: banned in-competition with a relatively high threshold; removed alcohol from the list is an example of changes over time. Distinction between letter of the rules vs. moral/cosmic fairness; between intentional advantage-seeking and medical/recovery use. Testing realities & practical challenges Full USADA/WADA-style regimes require whereabouts reporting, out-of-competition testing, and significant lifestyle constraints (conflicts with the free-spirited, remote nature of trail/ultrarunning). Even gold-standard systems have loopholes (missed whereabouts, remote camps, short-acting substances timed around sleep windows). Half-measures are expensive, burdensome, and unlikely to deter determined cheaters. Middle-of-pack and age-group athletes face different calculus; many use legitimate medications (inhalers, etc.) that may or may not require TUEs depending on type and dose/threshold. Possible paths forward discussed Transparency and honesty should be encouraged rather than punished (both hosts respect that Hanes and McKnight disclosed BPC-157 use). Practical ideas: Optional "non-competitive / open" checkbox so athletes using regulated substances can still participate without affecting results/records. Tested vs. non-tested divisions (bodybuilding-style model). More education needed around legitimate medical use (TUEs, Global DRO checks). Focus should prioritize the small professional/elite tier where financial and competitive incentives are highest over age-group minutiae. Future regenerative medicine and longevity interventions will force further adaptation; sport has already accepted large performance gains from technology (super shoes) more readily than internal/medical ones. Influencers & broader culture Influencer economy adds complexity: financial incentives to promote products or share experimental practices; difference between sharing personal experience vs. recommending use. Transparency with clear caveats is preferred; pure anecdote-driven advice remains problematic. Societal issues (tribalism, algorithmic incentives, low scientific literacy) make clean solutions difficult inside a small niche like ultrarunning. Closing notes Both stress nuance over black-and-white absolutism Conversation aims to push the sport toward honest discussion of incentive structures rather than endless case-by-case outrage. Kilian's Substack article ("The Run Tough Mindset") and upcoming documentary Forged in Failure are referenced as related material.

Danil Chernyshev: Forged in the Fire—Why the Scrum Master Role Tests Even Experienced Leaders Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. "From my story, you can probably say that I was forged in the fire." - Danil Chernyshev Danil had already climbed the ladder. He started with Scrum in 2010 as a developer, grew into a development manager, and reached executive level, running a department of 70 developers in his home country. Then he immigrated to Canada and had to start his career fresh. Certified by Scrum.org as both Scrum Master and Product Owner, the first role he landed was Scrum Master—and that's where the trouble began. He knew SDLC inside out, he knew how developers think, he knew Scrum from the trenches. What he didn't know was how to be a servant leader: how to balance serving and leading, how to measure his own success, how to even notice the small wins. After years at the top, he was suddenly the person who knew the least. In this episode, Danil shares why he stayed in the role instead of walking away—he loves building processes that help teams evolve, and he couldn't resist a real challenge. His advice to anyone at that same crossroads: be patient, reflect, build a feedback loop, and never stop learning. A certification proves you understand the base theory. Everything that matters comes after. In this episode, we refer to the Tuckman model of team development, and how the storming phase tests every team—and every newcomer. Self-reflection Question: When was the last time you were the person on the team who "knew the least"—and what did that teach you about your own growth? [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Episode 4185 │ July 19, 2026 Washington said his men called themselves an army the way lumber calls itself a house. Unprepared for war with Britain — less one thing: their faith. WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS Scott Kesterson and Rochelle Porto fill the gap between Lexington and Concord in April 1775 and the Declaration of Independence in July 1776 — the period nobody covers and everyone skips — tracing the Battle of Quebec in the December blizzard that killed Richard Montgomery, wounded Benedict Arnold before his betrayal, and left 400 American prisoners in British hands, alongside the prohibitory acts of December 1775 that blockaded every American merchant vessel at sea and led John Adams to declare that Britain had effectively declared independence from the colonies before the colonies declared it from Britain. The centerpiece of the episode is the Noble Train of Artillery — Henry Knox's 300-mile winter journey from Cambridge to Fort Ticonderoga and back, 59 pieces of heavy ordnance including a 5,000-pound brass cannon named Old Sable, moved by 60 men, teams of horses and oxen, across frozen rivers and mountain ridges through the same blizzard hitting Quebec, resupplied at every town by committees of safety who knew the convoy was coming and had fresh animals, food, and shelter waiting at each stop. The episode closes with Scott mapping the three pillars of colonial intelligence and organization — the Mechanics network, the committees of safety, and the Black Robe Regiment — against the current moment, arguing that the ragtag colonial force Washington inherited was the same structural problem America faces today, and that the difference between defeat and the crossing of the Delaware is almost always logistics, intelligence, and the willingness of ordinary people in ordinary towns to show up when the convoy passes through. KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED Why did the American invasion of Quebec fail — and what does the combination of a December blizzard, expiring enlistments, the death of Richard Montgomery by grapeshot, Benedict Arnold's leg wound, and 400 prisoners reveal about the structural limits of a colonial army organized by popularity rather than competence? What were the Prohibitory Acts of December 1775 — and why did John Adams call them Britain's own declaration of independence from the colonies, given that they placed a death sentence on every American merchant vessel at sea and made reconciliation structurally impossible? What made the Noble Train of Artillery succeed where the Quebec campaign failed — and what does Henry Knox's 300-mile winter journey, never losing a cannon, an animal, or a man, reveal about the role of the committees of safety as the logistical backbone that made every patriot operation in this period possible?

Tim Harford investigates some of the numbers in the news. This week:(00:32) A government minister has informed the nation that average teacher pay in England is around £54,000. Radio 4 listeners are howling at the radio in disbelief. Surely someone from the IFS would be able to explain all this? We interview someone from the IFS to explain all this.(06:32) A headline in the Independent suggests that Russian soldiers survive an average of 20 minutes when they get to the front line, citing a historian, citing Russian bloggers. Is the number a good one? We take a peek into the murky information ecosystem that surrounds the war in Ukraine.(15:00) A loyal listener has resent a burning question that - mortifyingly - he first asked us nearly three years ago: why is air travel cheaper than rail travel? We push our guilt deep, deep down then make it worse by challenging the premise of the question. (21:18) Is every shuffle of a deck of cards an unprecedented event in the history of the universe? It's a bold claim, but maths YouTuber and comedian Matt Parker has done his homework. We invite him into the studio to make his case - and show off his shuffling skills.More or Less is the programme that looks at numbers and statistics in news and in life. We're always looking for questions from listeners - you can contact us on moreorless@bbc.co.uk.Guests: Luke Sibieta - Research Economist at the Institute for Fiscal Studies Andrey Vladov - BBC Monitoring Mark Galeotti - author of Forged in War - A Military History of Russia from its Beginnings to Today Simon Calder - Travel Correspondent at the Daily Telegraph Matt Parker - Mathematician, comedian and YouTuber (Stand-up Maths)Presenter: Tim Harford Series Producer: Tom Colls Reporter: Josh McMinn Producers: Nathan Gower, Lizzy McNeill Editor: Richard Vadon Programme Coordinator: Siobhan Reed Sound Engineer: James Beard
Professor William Taubman, guest author, recounts how the assassination of JFK forged a deep, "opaque" bond between McNamara and Jackie Kennedy, as he spent the night following the murder sitting at her feet while she recounted the tragedy. Despite his grief, he immediately transitioned to serving Lyndon Johnson, who relied on McNamara's "tone for action" to justify the escalation of the Vietnam War. McNamara became the fiercest public advocate for the war, often suppressing his own growing doubts to please a commander who, unlike Kennedy, did not tolerate dissent.

Ryan Blaney joins Jeff Gluck and Jordan Bianchi live from Naval Base Coronado – where NASCAR somehow convinced the U.S. Navy to let them turn an active military base into a racetrack. The guys share their first impressions of San Diego, debate what it actually takes to win on a brand-new street course, and how far back SVG needs to start to give everyone else a shot. They also reveal what their call signs would be if they were stationed here – you'll laugh out loud at Jordan's. Ryan is sitting third in points with the playoff cutoff approaching, so where does he think a driver needs to be to realistically contend for a championship? Some say top six … but not Ryan Blaney. The mustache is real, it's magnificent, and Roger Penske had thoughts. Ryan tells the story. Plus: Jeff and Ryan blind-rank which NASCAR drivers they'd trust to babysit their kids, Ryan reflects on life with blowouts and upset llamas, and more from one of the most unique race weekends in NASCAR history.
