During a conference, we once asked everyone how many people had same-sex attraction as some part of their history, either from childhood, the porn they watched or a relationship they pursued. Over half the people raised their hand.Today, 22% of Gen Z identify as LGBTQ. Even with this level of cultural prevalence, many Christians struggle with how they view people with same-sex attraction, and what should they say to them.On this podcast, we have Part 2 of our conversation with Niki Speed, and how God pursued her life to not only save and heal her, but to bless her. You'll be encouraged by her story as we bring her husband Paul into the conversation. Together, they paint a beautiful picture of how God took a hopeless, helpless, hot mess (Niki's words), and turned her into something only God could create - beautiful, whole and redeemed.Phil and PriscillaP.S. - Do you need help in your marriage?

When we first heard Niki Speed's story, it was instrumental in helping us believe nothing was too big for God, including same-sex attraction and the trauma of our past. Today, we're so pleased to introduce Niki Speed, who is married to Paul Speed, the Founder of Whatever it Takes Ministries. We've served with them for many years at weekend intensives with Whatever it Takes Ministries, and Niki is real, raw and shares transparently about how she not only embraced a lesbian lifestyle for 20 years, but also how she got there, and how God rescued her life.So, if you need a fresh touch from God in believing Him for what seems to be impossible, listen to Niki (and Paul) as they share how God brought Niki from a life that most would think could never recover, to a ministry that's helping people overcome the trauma and wounds of their past.Phil and PriscillaP.S. - Do you need help in your marriage?

In this episode of Inside the Epicenter titled "Finding Hope in Isaiah 40", Joel Rosenberg and guest speaker Tommy Fretwell explore the profound spiritual insights and promises in Isaiah 40. Joel expresses gratitude and delves into themes of God’s kindness, servanthood, and future promises for Israel and the world, emphasizing God’s desire to win back His people tenderly. Tommy Fretwell shares a significant meeting between an orthodox Jewish Prime Minister and the Joshua Fund, highlighting the importance of trust, mercy, and aligning with God’s prophetic plan during challenging times. The discussion of Isaiah 40 covers its historical context, including the fall of the northern kingdom to Assyria and Hezekiah’s reign. Tommy explains Isaiah’s shift from judgment to comfort and messianic blessings. Joel explores the concept of "double" in Isaiah, which signifies fulfillment and exactness and relates this to the promise of joy and restoration. They examine verses 3-5, which call for preparing a way for the Lord, tying it to John the Baptist’s role and future global recognition of the Messiah. Verses 6-8 emphasize the transience of human life compared to the enduring nature of God’s word, offering lasting hope and comfort. Joel discusses the dual nature of prophecies, the first and second comings of the Messiah, and reads Isaiah 40:1-2, highlighting themes of comfort and peace for Jerusalem. He ties Isaiah 53 into the discussion, presenting the servant’s role in fulfilling promises of comfort and forgiveness. The episode concludes with a reminder of God's enduring word as the foundation of faith, its living and transformative power, and the unbreakable promise connecting salvation to Israel’s prophecies. It ends with a call to focus on these eternal truths. 04:49 Prayed Psalm 119:18 for guidance and awe. 07:47 Hezekiah's actions led to Babylonian prophecy fulfillment. 11:56 God allures, comforts, and loves to restore people. 16:04 Double judgment reflects Israel's firstborn status. 19:15 John prepared for Jesus; full prophecy awaits. 24:39 Trust God's Word; trials are temporary. 25:27 The foundation of faith: the word of God. 30:00 Salvation's security ensures Israel's promises endure. 33:36 Exploration of scripture, feedback, and connection encouraged.

We've found that most marriages are chasing intimacy but looking in all the wrong places. We sure did, and it never created a relationship that met the deep needs of our souls. What we eventually discovered was that spiritual intimacy needed to be the foundation of our relationship, and that spiritual intimacy would lead to emotional intimacy. These two things, working together, then created a foundation for a new marriage, and one in which our sexual intimacy could grow and even flourish. Join us on this episode as we discuss the one thing we discovered that was key to becoming spiritually intimate. It's the most frequent question we receive from couples looking for a resurrection in their marriage. Phil and Priscilla P.S. - Do you need help in your marriage?

Anyone with a passing interest in early and mid-2000s progressive breaks will know the name Fretwell. The Sheffield producer's lush take on the sound was signed to renowned labels including Global Underground, Bedrock, and Electrofly, the breaks offshoot of Baroque Records. Most notably, he contributed the exquisite "Faceless" to Anthony Pappa's Balance 006. Nowadays, he occasionally returns to production, with recent works including remixes for Pole Folder's Reworck imprint and Aussie label Zero Tolerance Recordings (his take on the classic Digby & Oliver track "Human"). It's clear the veteran still possesses the magic that made him such a reliable production force. In his first DJ mix in over a decade, he delivers a fluid 80-minute set in which his progressive breaks credentials are well and truly on display. Featuring tracks from James Harcourt, Luke Chable & Steve May, Forty Cats and Framewerk, this one demands repeated listens. @timfretwell

In Part 1 of Rey and Jane's story, Jane described how she forgave Rey for a 10-year relationship he had with her sister. Rey described how it was so hard for him to accept Jane's forgiveness, believing that forgiveness was only for people who were better than him. Today, you're going to hear how this path of mercy, grace and forgiveness took them toward becoming battle partners. It's an amazing story, and you don't want to miss it! We've served with Rey and Jane for the past five years at weekend intensives with Whatever it Takes Ministries, and they are real, raw and share transparently about what God's done in their marriage and family.

When people work to see the value in each other and feel connected, the world becomes a better place. When people feel disconnected, daily 'threats' of uncertainty, doubt, and change, become all that they see. During PEAK 2024 in Minneapolis we caught up with Brian Fretwell, founder of Finding Good. Fretwell lead a three-part business and leadership program focused on helping to build the clarity, confidence, and certainty that comes with connection. He believes that smarter questions (and responses) can improve conversations, relationships, and how people feel about themselves. His question process builds trust around tough issues, makes important conversations more productive, and helps others feel truly valued.

When was the last time you felt truly connected? This question echoes at the heart of our latest episode with Brian Fretwell, an expert on the crucial interplay between leadership and human connection. We unpack the concept that forming deep, meaningful connections aren't just a nice-to-have, but a fundamental need on par with food and water. Brian's journey, from the confines of a correctional facility classroom to the vast expanse of the mining and oil industries, reveals his 'Finding Good' project's quest to build authentic relationships that combat loneliness and foster a sense of belonging in a world rebounding from isolation.Navigating life's uncertainties can be daunting, but the stories we share have the power to bridge divides and bring us closer. I get personal about my venture into podcasting, facing down fears, and learning the transformative art of storytelling. Recalling an encounter with a young meth addict, I share how asking the right questions taught me the profound impact of curiosity and the philosophy of 'Ajuko'—eliciting wisdom from within rather than imposing it from without. This philosophy not only shapes how I mentor at-risk youth and connect with my children but also offers a blueprint for leaders and parents to guide others toward self-discovery and personal growth.Looking ahead, I'm thrilled to extend an invitation to the Business & Leadership Track at PEAK 2024, where we'll transform networking into valuable, impactful exchanges. Get ready for an engaging experience featuring our courses and certification program, designed to equip you with the tools for creating sustainable practices in leadership. And for those intrigued by the intersection of technology and safety, join me for a discourse on fire safety advancements and the role of communication in innovation.

He bought his first machine from Bill Wesby a tattooist and coal miner for £3.50. He traveled all over England tattooing and also had his own supply company Panther Products. We have wanted to talk to Eddy for a while now so it was really amazing to record his story to share with you! Audio edited and mixed by Simon Short.

We had a lot of ground together after Phil "came clean" seven years ago. Our 28 year marriage was functional, but we still felt like roommates, always wanting more, but settling for less. And we thought everyone else was in the same boat. But seven years ago, we discovered three things that have made all the difference, and we believe these three things can take you from feeling like roommates, to sensing fulfillment and intimacy again. Join us as we discuss our journey, and how you can start your own journey of transformation in your marriage.

We receive lots of feedback on our book, Savage Marriage: Triumph over Betrayal and Sexual Addiction, and sometimes there are some strong emotional responses, like when someone says their spouse threw our book across the room or out the window. So, what do we say when we hear reactions like this? We say, Hallelujah! At least what's been on the inside is coming out! The first step toward recovery is to show what requires restoration, and the emotional and physical manifestations of inward feelings are clues on where to look for what needs to be healed. Join us today as we talk about what God can do in the middle of our strong displays of emotion. It's God's road to recovery, and we invite you to join us as we walk through it!

While talking about porn has become mainstream in many churches, using the "M" word - masturbation - hasn't. Even mentioning it seems to evoke feelings of shame, with many people choosing less offensive words, like "solo sex" or "self-pleasuring". But masturbation has real effects on our body, soul, and spirit, and realizing freedom from the associated idol of lust is not only possible, but probable for people committed to doing whatever it takes to find help. Join Phil and Priscilla on this podcast as they talk about how masturbation affected them, and how they now live in freedom.

"Date Night" has become almost a required step for every couple to have a successful marriage, promising emotional bliss for couples who'll stay committed to one night a week alone. And when date night doesn't work, some couples throw in more sex, following programs like the "30-day Sex Challenge". Yet, we meet many couples whose marriages are struggling, while they're religiously having date nights (and trying to have more sex). We were one of those couples for twenty-eight years, unable to find real intimacy in the face of numerous moral and spiritual failures, but still counting on date night to solve our problems. Join us on this podcast as we talk about how we experienced real intimacy in our marriage...intimacy based not on what we could do...but on what only God could do. - Phil and Priscilla, Savage Marriage Ministries Resources: Join the Savage Marriage Community at Savage Marriage Ministries Buy Phil and Priscilla's book, Savage Marriage: Triumph over Betrayal and Sexual Addiction, at Savage Marriage: Triumph over Betrayal and Sexual Addiction: Fretwell, Phil, Fretwell, Priscilla: 9798985540208: Amazon.com: Books Buy the Savage Marriage Study Guide on Amazon at Savage Marriage Study Guide: Overcome Your Past.

The August Complex Fire burned more than one million acres across three national forests and destroyed hundreds of structures. But devastating fires are not limited to California. Across the West, more than 10 million acres burned in 2020—a record in modern history. These fires consumed more than 17,500 structures and more than $3.5 billion in firefighting costs.Tragically, dozens of lives were lost, and many more people were displaced by evacuation orders. Fires released smoke that degraded air quality nearby and hundreds of miles away. They also destroyed wildlife habitat, including for imperiled species, and the fires' aftereffects will soon lead to erosion that harms water quality in local watersheds
