God has promised that He will always take care of us, so there is nothing in this world that we should have any reason to fear. Rather than allowing the devil to lock us down in fearful dread, we should instead allow God's love to unlock us from that bondage.

Iranian director Jafar Panahi has been making social cinema since the 1990s. His work follows everyday Iranians and their struggles against societal forces. In 2010 the director received a ban on filmmaking from the Iranian government, and in 2022 he was imprisoned after he inquired into a fellow filmmaker's arrest. Despite being jailed and censored, Panahi has continued to work. His films such as "The Circle,” “Taxi” and “No Bears” have won awards from the top film festivals in the world. Now his latest film, “It Was Just an Accident,” has been nominated for two Oscars for best international feature film and best original screenplay. The film follows a group of former Iranian political prisoners who kidnap a man they suspect was their torturer, but they aren't totally sure it's him. Panahi shot the film in secret in Iran because he didn't have official government permission to make it. While it is receiving critical acclaim around the world, it's being repressed in Iran, where the government recently handed Panahi a new prison sentence. Today on “Post Reports” Elahe Izadi speaks with Jafar Panahi about how he made “It Was Just an Accident” and why he is planning to return to Iran once his awards campaign is over. The two spoke this month, before this week's Oscar nominations and the most recent escalation of anti-government demonstrations and crackdowns in Iran. Today's show was produced by Lucas Trevor, Joshua Carroll and Sam Bair, who also mixed it.

In this episode of The Truth with Lisa Boothe, Lisa sits down with Ellie Cohanim, an Iranian-born refugee and former Trump administration official, to break down the historic uprising unfolding in Iran. Ellie offers firsthand insight into the regime’s economic collapse, its brutal repression of citizens, and how billions are funneled to terror proxies instead of helping the Iranian people. The conversation examines the extraordinary courage of Iranian protesters, the global rise of anti-Semitism, and the growing threats facing Jewish communities worldwide. Ellie also explains why Donald Trump’s policies—strong sanctions, unapologetic support for Iranian freedom, and a decisive U.S. military posture in the Middle East—stood in stark contrast to today’s failed leftist approach.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Anger simmers across politics, law, and culture as public officials evade accountability, defy common sense, and bend rules for the powerful. From impeachment efforts to courtroom absurdities and unchecked insider trading, the question remains whether justified outrage leads to action.

Send us a textNew Year, New Episode.Welcome special guest Wyatt Pennington everybody! A new father, emerging and awesome youth ministry leader Wyatt walks us through a practical reframe: treat parents as partners, not an inbox. He details quarterly parent nights that include worship, teaching for adults, prayer, and a genuine response, plus simple series-based resources that turn “What did you learn?” into real conversations around the table. The result: families feel pastored, not processed—and students keep growing after Wednesday night ends.We also tackle the screen-shaped world teens inhabit. Instead of declaring tech the enemy, Wyatt models a wiser way: analog alarm clocks, physical Bibles that never ping, printed workbooks, and clear boundaries that make space for God. We unpack how algorithms disciple kids with precision and why embodied practices and honest witness can out-form what big tech outspends. Finally, we get granular on communication: preach shorter sermons with one sticky point, yup just one, and lead descriptively by sharing your actual habits and failures, and commit to loving Jesus when no one is watching.High Points• new dad lessons on sacrifice and joy• modeling boundaries students can see• calling story from midweek to camp• caught not taught approach to mentoring• rebalancing ministry toward parents• practical parent nights with response• screens, algorithms, and formation• analog habits that make space for God• descriptive leadership over prescriptions• why shorter sermons carry furtherSignups for the Youth Ministry Preaching Experience are live.

Fr. Mike continues reflecting on the meaning of faith and how it works in our lives. We learn that faith is a grace from God, a supernatural virtue that is not contrary to human freedom or reason. Fr. Mike reminds us that to have faith is not just to believe in God, but to believe God and everything he says. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 150-155. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

This week, Jake and Bob conclude their series on deliverance and healing by welcoming Fr. Boniface Hicks, OSB to the show. Together, they explore deliverance, not as a fixation on removing darkness, but as the ongoing work of living in the freedom of God's love. Fr. Boniface reframes spiritual warfare using the analogy of relationships and stories, and how our identities are shaped by our understanding of truth and love. They address common fears and misconceptions about spiritual warfare that have been fueled by culture and the practical role of prayer in helping us find the freedom Christ desires for us.   Key Points: Deliverance is fundamentally about freedom in God's love, not removing evil. Every person carries a story that deserves to be heard and healed. Evil spirits try to limit our story but God seeks to bring it to its fullness. Deliverance is an ongoing process, not a one-time event. True deliverance draws us deeper into the love story of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Spiritual warfare is primarily a battle over truth, belief, and identity. Love has the power to loosen spiritual oppression and restore freedom. Prayer is most powerful when it is relational rather than formulaic. Belief is not merely intellectual—it is lived, embodied trust.   Resources: Fr.

Brigitte Gabriel exposes anti-ICE violence in Minneapolis and the political strategy driving the unrest. Organized protests are escalating into mob intimidation and violence as the rule of law continues to be undermined. This episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast breaks down the Minneapolis anti-ICE riots and how political decisions by state and city leaders have fueled disorder and emboldened activists. Professor Nick Giordano is joined by Brigitte Gabriel, founder of Act for America and author of Rise: In Defense of Judeo-Christian Values and Freedom, to explain why the right must rebuild grassroots power, confront rising anti-Western ideology inside the West, and prepare for the geopolitical shockwaves of a potential Iranian regime collapse. What You'll Learn Why anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis are turning violent and who benefits politically How attacks on ICE undermine national sovereignty and public safety Why political apathy is more dangerous than organized activism How local engagement and voter mobilization can shift political outcomes Why anti-Western ideology inside the West poses an existential civilizational threat What a free Iran could mean for the Middle East and global stability

Many Christians long for freedom, healing, and intimacy with God—yet remain exhausted, anxious, or stuck in cycles of striving and self-effort. In this episode, Spencer Robbins and Josh Straub explore what happens when faith quietly shifts from relationship to performance. They talk honestly about burnout, the hidden addiction to significance, and why shame—not sin—is often the real barrier to transformation. Together, they unpack the difference between guilt and shame, why grace must come before truth can be lived, and how control disguises itself as faithfulness. This conversation invites listeners to examine whether they are pursuing freedom—or merely managing behavior to feel safe. This episode is for anyone who: Feels tired of trying harder spiritually Struggles with shame or fear of being exposed Knows the gospel intellectually but doesn't feel free emotionally Wants a faith rooted in union, not performance At its core, this is an invitation to trade control for trust—and discover the freedom that comes from being loved before you change.

At Davos 2026, U.S. leaders are calling out the failures of globalization head-on, while Klaus Schwab's old 'Great Reset' and stakeholder capitalism dreams face reality checks. From elite quotes pushing systemic overhauls and compliance tech to today's blunt rejections of top-down globalism, we ask: Has the WEF vision finally collapsed? Today we break down the quotes, the admissions, and why free markets, faith, and sovereignty win out over elite control.SPONSOR: Lear CapitalThe best way to invest in gold and silver is with Lear Capital.

Where Science, Shadow Work, and Spirit Collide to Manifest Your Miracles.You didn't fail. Your nervous system did.You didn't manifest the house, the partner, the money, the peace — not because you didn't believe hard enough. Not because you weren't disciplined or “aligned” or didn't script your affirmations just right. It's because your nervous system wasn't safe enough to receive it.This is why manifestation fails in 2026. And I'm done watching powerful women blame themselves when the truth is: mindset isn't enough anymore. We're in a whole new energetic frequency now. Survival mode blocks creation mode.

You won't want to miss out on hearing from our special guest “truth-teller” this week, on “Pediatric Perspectives.” His name: Peter McCullough, M.D. In this episode, Dr. McCullough shares compelling information on how, years later, COVID is still haunting us. We are facing, in his words, “The biggest problem that humanity has ever tackled.” As Dr. McCullough points out, not only has its treatment been a failure in many ways, but also its “vaccine campaign…will go down as the largest biopharmaceutical debacle in human history.” And yet, helping those impacted has become the “most rewarding thing” from all the years he has been a physician.

From investment banker to crypto fund strategist, Stas Sukhinin shares insider perspectives on how credit committees really make decisions, why over-leveraged companies fail fast during downturns, and where stablecoins are creating trillion-dollar transaction opportunities. In this episode of the DealQuest Podcast, host Corey Kupfer sits down with Stas Sukhinin, a finance veteran with over 19 years of experience spanning investment banking, corporate lending, and alternative asset management. Stas began his career at internationally recognized institutions including UniCredit and Societe General, where he helped pioneer mezzanine loan products in Eastern Europe. By age 29, he had become a senior partner at one of the region's largest mezzanine lenders, managing a team of 20 finance professionals and overseeing a $450 million loan portfolio. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: In this episode, you'll discover what really happens inside credit committees when your loan application gets reviewed and why factors unrelated to your business can determine outcomes. Stas explains how strong companies can go from healthy to restructuring in just three to four months when leverage catches up with them, and the critical difference between how first-time owners and experienced operators approach debt decisions. You'll learn the two key factors that determine how much debt your business can handle, why working capital provisions in purchase agreements deserve more attention than most buyers give them, and how sellers legally present financials in the most favorable light. The conversation also covers Stas's experience investing in the 2017 ICO boom where 90% of projects went to zero but winners returned 50x to 100x, why venture capital investors sometimes block deals that would be life-changing for founders, and where stablecoin transaction volume is already reaching trillions while most people remain unaware. STAS'S JOURNEY: Stas's path into finance started at age 14 when a classmate brought a business magazine to school. Reading about business owners selling companies for millions crystallized his direction. He knew he wanted to be in corporate lending where he could see businesses, analyze financials, and speak directly with owners while working with numbers at a bank. His first role as a junior credit analyst gave him exactly that. He progressed from working with small businesses that had no financials to mid-sized companies to large corporations. Each step taught him more about how deals really get done from inside the institutions making funding decisions. CREDIT COMMITTEE INSIGHTS: Stas pulls back the curtain on what actually happens when loan applications reach credit committees. The reality differs dramatically from what most business owners imagine. Factors affecting approval can seem completely unrelated to the specific deal. Maybe the bank already has a competitor in their portfolio. Maybe the receivable financing department has a different relationship with someone in your industry. One offhand comment from a committee member who hasn't read the full memo can change the entire trajectory of a conversation or result in higher interest rates. DEBT MANAGEMENT LESSONS: The pattern Stas has seen destroy companies in months follows predictable steps. Revenue drops or stagnates. Margins deteriorate because of increased competition and client uncertainty. Debt ratios that looked comfortable suddenly reach concerning levels. Refinancing options disappear just when needed most. Interest rates climb. Everything compounds simultaneously. The difference between experienced and first-time business owners comes down to scenario planning. Experienced operators build safety margins and stress-test assumptions. First-time owners assume conditions will continue as they are. That assumption determines survival. ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENTS: Stas joined a crypto investment fund at its inception in 2017 during the ICO boom. Out of many investments, approximately 90% went to zero. The winners returned 50x or 100x. His observation about liquidity cycles was particularly interesting. Traditional venture now averages seven-year holding periods while crypto projects can reach liquidity events in three or four years through token distributions. On stablecoins, Stas sees enormous opportunity in programmable money. Transaction volume is already in the trillions though most people in developed countries don't realize the scale. Goldman Sachs reportedly reduced bond settlement time from three days to minutes using blockchain technology. Perfect for business owners considering debt financing, entrepreneurs navigating capital raising, and anyone interested in how credit decisions really get made and where alternative investments are creating new opportunities.

In this episode, Sathiya discusses the importance of optimizing the brain to achieve freedom from pornography addiction. He explains the detrimental effects of pornography on the brain, including desensitization, sensitization, hypofrontality, and reduced stress response. Sathiya emphasizes the power of neuroscience principles, such as the idea that neurons that fire together wire together, and provides practical strategies for breaking the cycle of addiction. He also highlights the significance of optimizing sleep to enhance brain health and decision-making capabilities.

AMERIKA THE POLICE STATE... FREEDOM OF HUMANITY IS GONE by Gerald Celente

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Jonathan Harounoff, British-Iranian journalist and author of Unveiled: Inside Iran's Woman, Life, Freedom Revolt. Jonathan takes us inside the Woman, Life, Freedom movement—how it began, why it refuses to die, and why the regime continues to answer peaceful protest with barbaric force. Drawing on years of reporting and deeply personal conversations with Iranians inside the country and across the diaspora, he shares the brutal realities of life under the regime—and the extraordinary courage of people who keep standing up anyway. We talk about hunger, fear, and economic collapse. About mothers, daughters, and young people risking everything. About why the regime blames Israel and the West—and what Iranians are actually fighting for: dignity, choice, basic freedom, and a future without constant terror. We also ask a question that feels almost unthinkable, and yet possible: What would a free Iran mean for the Middle East, and for the world? This is a sobering yet hopeful conversation about sacrifice, resilience, and the power of ordinary people to challenge unimaginable tyranny and change history. Memorable Quotes: "There's a very clear distinction between the Islamic Republic and the 92 million Iranians it governs." "This is a proud, resilient civilization with thousands of years of history—and they're not giving it up for a 47-year-old regime." "The regime will blame Israel, the U.S., even 'cloud theft'—anything except its own mismanagement." "Women were deliberately shot in the eyes to leave a permanent mark." "A free Iran wouldn't just transform the Middle East—it would transform the world."

In this podcast, Bhante explores how human life is largely shaped by physical, emotional, and social survival, and why these areas can never fully bring lasting satisfaction. It explains how mindfulness introduces deeper values—wisdom, compassion, and generosity—that arise beyond survival and create moments of freedom and meaning. By choosing to practice these values even during challenges, we transform difficulties into opportunities for genuine growth and well-being.

What if the real breakthrough you are searching for has nothing to do with hustling harder and everything to do with surrender, grace, and presence? In this deeply moving conversation, I sit down with Sage Robbins, and I can honestly tell you this is one of the most powerful interviews I have ever done. I have wanted to have Sage on the show for a long time, and after this conversation, you will understand why. Her wisdom, her heart, and the calm strength she carries will meet you exactly where you are. This episode is not about motivation for the sake of motivation. It is about learning how to live with more peace, more compassion, and more truth in a noisy and divided world. We talk about Sage's upbringing surrounded by recovery, Alcoholics Anonymous, and the 12-step program, and how watching her father, grandparents, and siblings walk through addiction and healing shaped the way she sees humanity. She shares how surrender is not weakness, but freedom, and why so much of our suffering comes from believing life should be different than it is. This conversation opened my own heart as we connected over our fathers, recovery, forgiveness, and what it really means to take responsibility for your inner world. Sage also speaks with rare honesty about grace, humility, and the power of making amends. We discuss why saying “I'm sorry” is one of the most transformative practices in relationships, how ego closes the heart, and why ownership opens it again. She explains how self reflection, not blame, is the gateway to real peace. If you have strained family relationships, unresolved resentment, or feel disconnected from people you love, this part of the conversation will hit home. One of the most profound moments in the episode is when Sage guides us through her daily practice called “60 Seconds of Grace.” It is a simple but life changing reset that brings you back to the present moment. We also talk about how to recognize what is no longer serving you in your life, just like shedding old patterns, judgments, and beliefs that disconnect you from love. This is an episode you will not just listen to. You will feel it. And I promise you will come away changed. Key Takeaways Why surrendering control can create more peace, clarity, and freedom in your life How grace for yourself naturally becomes grace for others The hidden power of making amends and taking full responsibility Why self reflection matters more than being right A simple daily practice to reconnect with peace in just 60 seconds How to let go of what no longer serves you so life can truly begin If you have been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or divided from the people you love, this conversation with Sage Robbins may be exactly what your soul has been waiting for. Please share this episode with someone who needs more grace in their life right now. Let's Max Out together. ⁠⁠

Today's conversation is a homecoming—back to the body, back to character, and back to what it means to be a man. My guest, Mark Walsh, challenges the modern habit of living entirely in our heads—cut off from sensation, boundaries, and responsibility. We talk embodiment not as fitness or aesthetics, but using physical training to develop character, emotional regulation, and presence. From Stoicism and shadow work to doing hard things on purpose, this episode is about reclaiming awareness, expanding range, and building the discipline required to choose better behavior. We also confront the cult of modernity: hyper-individualism, happiness culture, pleasure-seeking that produces pain, and the loss of religion, community, and moral formation. Mark makes the case that happiness is secondary to meaning and commitment and that true freedom is forged through discipline, not the absence of limits.

What happens when you stop trying to think your way through living alcohol-free and start feeling your way forward? Ann felt trapped by an endless to-do list and the fear that alcohol would "attack" when her defenses were down. Jamie clung to her nightly glass of wine as the last piece of normalcy after losing her husband and surviving a stroke.

Over the past several weeks, Iran has experienced its most serious wave of protests since the Woman, Life, Freedom uprising of 2022. What began as an economic protest quickly turned political, with chants calling for an end to the Islamic Republic — and the most brutal response of repression in the history of the Islamic Republic, with killings, mass arrests, executions, and an internet blackout. UCLA historical sociologist Kevan Harris reconstructs the spark that ignited the protests — a technocratic reform perceived as an unjust tax, adding to economic and political grievances that exploded into a broader uprising. Iranian scholar and political activist Yassamine Mather examines the brutal repression that followed and the dangerous media distortions surrounding the uprising as exile groups promote monarchist fantasies and openly flirt with US and Israeli intervention.  Mather says Iranian protesters overwhelmingly reject both the Islamic Republic and the shah's dictatorship — and foreign intervention threatens to crush the very movement it claims to support. Jacobin Radio with Suzi Weissman features conversations with leading thinkers and activists, with a focus on labor, the economy, and protest movements.

This is a reimagined “I Have A Dream” speech as a rage anthem. We have to shift the energy from "hopeful persistence" to "righteous, explosive fury." So here is my hip-hop version of a call to reflection. The dream won't die, we will fiercely defend it. I HAVE A DREAM—that you're terrified! I HAVE A DREAM—that your hate has died! I HAVE A DREAM—that the truth will sting! LET FREEDOM RING! LET FREEDOM RING! LET. FREEDOM. RING! From the red hills! RING! From the snow caps! RING! From every village! From every state! We're drowning out the sound of your ancient hate! FREE AT LAST! FREE AT LAST! GOD ALMIGHTY, WE'RE TAKING IT BACK! I just dropped "I was the 80" on Spotify, Apple, and wherever you listen to music!!! I remember the 80/20 rule in Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married? This was a powerful relationship metaphor to explain why people often cheat and leave good partners. The 80 is what you need. That 20 is what you want. I am the 80, we are the 80. I firmly believe that we are in a new age and it's age of Aquarius. It's all about sovereignty, frequency, and interconnectedness. We're moving from the Piscean age, when we relied on external authority and reactive medicine. Now it's my responsibility to manage my own vibration and use nature to help me heal. Dayumm!! The Black Dante' is fire!!! I have the honor of reading The Count of Monte Cristo, which is more than an adventure. It's an epic that mirrors the tumultuous life of the creator, Alexander Dumas. He just didn't write about a man seeking justice. He wrote from the perspective of a man whose own family had been elevated by a revolution and raised by restoration.   Real HW and MM Angel Angel Angel-This trip is not for this show.

What does it really look like to pursue excellence over a decade — through injury, uncertainty, quiet rebuilds, and breakthrough moments that seem sudden only from the outside?In this episode of Trail Society, host Corrine Malcolm sits down with one of her closest friends and most compelling athletes in the sport: Abby Hall. Fresh off her 2025 Western States 100 victory, Abby reflects on the long road that led there — and why the “messy middle” matters just as much as the podium.This conversation is less about one race and more about a philosophy: making it "cool to care," showing up honestly, and staying in it when things don't go to plan.Together, Corrine and Abby dig into the rhythms of professional running beyond the highlight reels — from late-day training runs and household logistics to mindset shifts, team alignment, and the vulnerability of saying “I want to win.”Whether you're chasing podiums, consistency, or just a deeper connection to why you run, this episode offers a powerful reminder: there's no one right way to do this — but there is value in doing it fully.It's a thoughtful, funny, deeply human conversation about longevity, grit, and what it means to grow alongside a sport that's also growing up.Support our partners:This episode is brought to you by rabbit.

HEADLINE: The Cannonball Rule vs. Anti-Access Denial GUEST AUTHOR: Jerry HendrixSUMMARY: Hendrix explains how the historical "cannonball rule," which limited territorial waters to the range of shore batteries, is being challenged by modern long-range missiles. Nations like China and Russia use "anti-access/area denial" strategies to extend their sovereignty far beyond international norms, effectively claiming vast areas like the South China Sea. This strategy aims to push the U.S. Navy away to prevent intervention in regional conflicts. Hendrix emphasizes the necessity of "Freedom of Navigation" operations, where U.S. warships physically sail through disputed waters to legally and militarily reject these excessive territorial claims.1904
