Friends of the Rosary,Jesus defeated the old world of sin and darkness, shielding us with His divine body and blood against the fury of the Evil One and his minions and collaborators.And though the second coming and the establishment of God's kingdom haven't taken place yet, the old world is broken and compromised. Its destruction is now just a matter of time.The arrival of a new state of affairs is imminent, as Bishop Barron says.Jesus came to heal the sick, the deaf, and the blind, to forgive the enemies, and to bring the good news through love. With His resurrection, He opened the door of our eternal life of joy and love for all.Today in the Gospel (Luke 4:14–22), Jesus declares that he fulfills the prophecy of Isaiah: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring glad tidings to the poor.”Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

In Episode 290, I sit down with Tyler Stanaway and Scott Stilwell, and we take the podcast in a pretty unusual direction. We brought a bunch of random instruments into the studio and just let whatever happened happen. There was no planning and no rehearsal—as you'll probably be able to tell—but that's not the point. The point was simply to sit down and make some music with friends. Please enjoy Episode 290 of The Endless Endeavor Podcast.

Berry Bryant was just eighteen years old and had only been in college for five weeks when she vanished. A talented musician and scholarship freshman, she was known for checking in with her family and staying focused on her goals. On the night of October 4, 1996, Berry attended a campus dance, stopped briefly at a dorm party, and then disappeared.By morning, her car was still parked where she left it. Her bed had not been slept in. Friends woke up with a sense that something was terribly wrong.Investigators quickly focused on nineteen-year-old Levi Collen, a hometown athlete whose past revealed a disturbing pattern. As police dug deeper, they uncovered prior assaults, violent threats, and escalating behavior that had never been fully addressed. The warning signs had been there long before Berry crossed his path.Levi Collen eventually pleaded guilty and was sentenced to three consecutive life terms with no chance of parole. Berry's family buried her in a dress she had made herself, the same one she once wore to a high school dance.This case leaves one haunting question behind. How many red flags can be ignored before tragedy becomes inevitable?

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast — we're back in ATX and easing into 2026 (our christmas decorations are still up). We kick it off by talking about why traveling with friends (especially with kids) is the ultimate compatibility test, how wild it is that a one-year-old can actually ski (like WHAT), and why our current neighborhood setup feels like college (in the best way!!!).  Then we get into the thing everyone keeps asking: our childcare plan for baby #2. We talk about Maria's mom (Peggy!! our angel), how the cross-house setup actually works, and what we're looking forward to most with this set up!   Then we spiral into airline-mile skepticism, childhood “world-class” foods that absolutely do not hold up, and our early thoughts on Heated Rivalry (NOTE FROM JULES: it's 9pm wednesday night and they've texted me that they've already changed their minds). Alex explains her beef with dramatic New Year's resolutions, and Harrison shares the four phone-reduction rules he's committing to in 2026 — no phone before 8am, no phone at dinner, no phone in the bathroom, and no doom-scrolling in bed. We also talk couples who work out together, our current coffee-order identity crisis, babysitter etiquette (and the horror stories you sent in), “technoference” and how parental phone habits affect toddlers, Illinois' new paid pumping-break law, and whether caviar really is “breast milk for adults”????  LOVE YOU GUYS and thanks for listening!

Other topics include: how pop culture gave Bob an escape growing up, the importance of forgiveness, Dennis and Bob's first meeting in 2000 and that time Bob got to play foosball on Joey and Chandler's foosball table on the Friends set after hours.

Episode SummaryIn this sermon preached at New Life Church Greenbrier (Dec. 28, 2025), Coach Alex flips a familiar verse on its head: the gates of hell aren't attacking the Church—they're defending. Jesus' promise isn't that we'll merely “hold on” until the end; it's that the Church advances and hell can't stop it.Coach Alex makes it practical: if you've spent a year waking up on defense—tired, in pain, stuck, reactive—there's a reason.The enemy targets the individual body, then the family, then the community. But when your “want to,” your “able to,” your relationships, coaching, rewards, and environment align toward God, you stop fighting alone.Call to action: -Join Faithful Fitness (and check out the Shred): https://betterdaily.live/invite -Get Coach Alex's Devotional (Faithful Fitness): https://faithfulfitnessdevo.comMain Discussion ThemesMatthew 16 reframed: “The gates of hell” are defensive structures—the Church advances.Offense vs. defense Christianity: why many believers feel stuck, reactive, and worn down.The battlefield order: body → family → community.Three circles model: how darkness spreads when the light isn't protected and multiplied.The 6 forces tug-of-war: why people fail—and how to win by changing the system around you.Personal: Want to, Able toSocial: Fans & Friends, CoachStructural: Rewards, EnvironmentScripture anchors for embodied stewardship:1 Corinthians 6:19–20Psalm 139:14Ephesians 5:29Timestamped Outline0:00–0:23 — Intro + welcome0:23–2:41 — Family-service tone + participation + rope setup2:41–4:53 — Poll questions → the body question exposes the real issue4:53–8:59 — Matthew 16:15–18 setup + “gates of hell” promise8:59–11:33 — Milk vs meat in Scripture; “underline this phrase” moment11:33–15:27 — Offense vs defense demo (shield vs sword)15:27–18:28 — Greek insight: “katyskohol” → hell can't defend against the Church18:28–21:41 — Candlelight picture: light pushes back darkness21:41–24:20 — The three circles: community → family → body (enemy's strategy)24:20–27:25 — Scripture truths about the body + Faithful Fitness devotional mention27:25–30:37 — Tug-of-war demo: why it feels impossible alone30:37–42:16 — The 6 forces explained (personal/social/structural)42:16–44:40 — System shift: align forces toward God → obedience becomes sustainable44:40–end — Final charge + prayer + response invitationMove Forward Today (Calls to Action)Join Faithful Fitness + the Shred (community + coaching + practical structure):https://betterdaily.live/inviteGet the Faithful Fitness Devotional (40-day Scripture-guided discipleship for embodied stewardship):https://faithfulfitnessdevo.comOne action in 5 minutes: Write down which force is currently pulling against you:Want toAble toFans & FriendsCoachRewardsEnvironmentThen write one concrete counter-move (ex: remove trigger foods, ask spouse for support, choose enjoyable training, schedule accountability).Featured Guest ResourcesCoach Alex's ResourcesJoin Faithful Fitness (and check out the Shred): https://betterdaily.live/inviteGet the Faithful Fitness Devotional: https://faithfulfitnessdevo.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/faithful-fitness-by-better-daily--5150768/support.

This episode contains description of addiction, eating disorders and discussion of suicide. Our guest today is the pioneering comedian, actor and activist Margaret Cho. She began performing comedy as a teenager, opening for Jerry Seinfeld at just 14, before becoming one of the most influential stand-ups of her generation. Now in her 50s, Margaret reflects in this episode on the cancellation of her groundbreaking sitcom, All-American Girl, and the surreal "miscalculations" of a network that hired consultants to ensure she was "doing Asian right". She speaks candidly about the "mind f***" of being told she was "too fat to play herself", which triggered a dangerous spiral into disordered eating, 90s diet drugs and eventual kidney failure. She opens up about a suicidal near-death experience that she was initially too afraid to admit even to herself - and about the intervention by friends that finally led her to sobriety. This conversation explores shame, rage and the life-saving importance of humour. Because, as Margaret says, sometimes laughter can be the thing that keeps you breathing. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Introduction 04:37 Childhood Reflections 06:59 Political and Social Commentary 10:43 The Sitcom Experience 18:35 Body Image and Health Struggles 26:13 Legacy and Influence 26:54 The Struggle with Diet Culture 28:34 Embarrassing Moments on Stage 32:10 Family Influence on Weight Issues 33:22 Seeking Help and Therapy 34:05 Childhood Abuse and Its Impact 37:27 Battling Drug and Alcohol Addiction 43:09 Intervention and Recovery 46:51 Finding Hope and Happiness

Venezuela's ousted leader, Nicolás Maduro, is now behind bars in a Brooklyn prison, facing charges that include narco-terrorism and weapons offenses. While support for the U.S. operation that led to Maduro's capture appears to fall largely along party lines, there is broad agreement that the imprisoned dictator's regime was brutal. United States Marine veteran Matthew Heath spent two years as one of Maduro's political prisoners and experienced that cruelty firsthand. Heath recounts how he was kidnapped by the Venezuelan government, the torture he endured, and what he hopes lies ahead for the country following Maduro's capture. The CDC is recommending a new, scaled-back childhood vaccine schedule, no longer broadly advising vaccines for protection against rotavirus, hepatitis A and B, certain forms of meningitis, or RSV. The Trump administration says the change will not prevent families who want the vaccines from accessing them, and that insurance coverage will remain in place. Critics, however, warn the move could create confusion for parents and potentially lead to an increase in preventable diseases. Former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield joins the Rundown to explain why he believes it's important to take a fresh look at vaccines—while still emphasizing the need to educate the public about their benefits.

Slavery did not end in the nineteenth century—it persists today, hidden in global supply chains, religious justifications, and systems of power. Kevin Bales and Michael Rota join Evan Rosa to explore modern slavery through history, psychology, and theology, asking why it remains so difficult to see and confront.“It's time some person should see these calamities to their end.” (Thomas Clarkson, 1785)“There are millions of slaves in the world today.” (Kevin Bales, 2025)In this episode, they consider how conscience, power, and religious belief can either sustain enslavement or become forces for abolition. Together they discuss the psychology of slaveholding, faith's complicity and resistance, Quaker abolitionism, modern debt bondage, ISIS and Yazidi slavery, and what meaningful action looks like today.https://freetheslaves.net/––––––––––––––––––Episode Highlights“There are millions of slaves in the world today.”“Statistics isn't gonna do it. I need to actually show people things.”“They have sexual control. They can do what they like.”“Slavery is flowing into our lives hidden in the things we buy.”“We have to widen our sphere of concern.”––––––––––––––––––About Kevin BalesKevin Bales is a leading scholar and activist in the global fight against modern slavery. He is Professor of Contemporary Slavery at the University of Nottingham and co-founder of Free the Slaves, an international NGO dedicated to ending slavery worldwide. Bales has spent more than three decades researching forced labor, debt bondage, and human trafficking, combining academic rigor with on-the-ground investigation. His work has shaped international policy, influenced anti-slavery legislation, and brought global attention to forms of enslavement often dismissed as historical. He is the author of several influential books, including Disposable People and Friends of God, Slaves of Men, which examines the complex relationship between religion and slavery across history and into the present. Learn more and follow at https://www.kevinbales.org and https://www.freetheslaves.netAbout Michael RotaMichael Rota is Professor of Philosophy at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota, where he teaches and researches in the philosophy of religion, moral psychology, and the history of slavery and religion. His work spans scholarly articles on the definition of slavery, the moral psychology underlying social change and abolition, and the relevance of theological concepts to ethical life. Rota is co-author with Kevin Bales of Friends of God, Slaves of Men: Religion and Slavery, Past and Present, a comprehensive interdisciplinary study of how religions have both justified and resisted systems of enslaving human beings from antiquity to the present day. He is also the author of Taking Pascal's Wager: Faith, Evidence, and the Abundant Life, an extended argument for the reasonableness and desirability of Christian commitment. In addition to his academic writing, he co-leads projects in philosophy and education and is co-founder of Personify, a platform exploring AI and student learning.

I'm a professor. I should know that.”– Stories disrupting moral distance more powerfully than statistics– “There were three little stories inside, about three different types of enslavement … it put a hook in me like a fish and pulled me.”– United Nations documentation mostly ignored despite vast evidence– Decades of investigation into contemporary slavery– Fieldwork across five regions, five forms of enslavement– Kevin Bales's book, Disposable People as embodied witness with concrete stories– “Statistics isn't gonna do it. I need to actually show people things. There's gonna be something that breaks hearts the way it did me when I was in the field.”– Psychological resistance to believing slavery touches ordinary life– Anti-Slavery International as original human rights organization founded in U.K. in 1839– Quaker and Anglican foundations of abolitionist movements– Religion as both justification for slavery and engine of resistance– Call for renewed faith-based abolition today– Slavery and religion intertwined from early human cultures– Colonial expansion intensifying moral ambiguity– Columbus, Genoa, and enslavement following failed gold extraction– Spanish royal hesitation over legitimacy of slavery– Las Casas's moral conversion after refusal of absolution– “He eventually realized this is totally wrong.

And this is not what God wants us to be doing.”– Sepúlveda's Aristotelian defense of hierarchy and profit– Moral debate without effective structural enforcement– Power described as intoxicating and deforming conscience– Hereditary debt bondage in Indian villages– Caste, ethnicity, and generational domination– Sexual violence as mechanism of absolute control– “They have sexual control. They can beat up the men, rape the women, steal the children. They can do pretty much what they like.”– Three-year liberation process rooted in trust, education, and collective refusal– Former slaves returning as teachers and organizers– Liberation compared to Plato's allegory of the cave– Post-liberation vulnerability and risk of recapture– Power inverted in Christian teaching– “The disciples are arguing about who's the greatest, and Jesus says, the greatest among you will be the slave of all… don't use power to help yourself. Use it to serve.”– Psychological explanations for delayed abolition– The psychological phenomenon of “motivated reasoning” that shapes moral conclusions– “The conclusions we reach aren't just shaped by the objective evidence the world provides. They're shaped also by the internal desires and goals and motivations people have.”– Economic self-interest and social consensus sustaining injustice– Quaker abolition through relational, conscience-driven confrontation– First major religious body to forbid slaveholding– Boycotts of slave-produced goods and naval blockade of slave trade– Modern slavery as organized criminal enterprise– ISIS enslavement of Yazidi women– Religious reasoning weaponized for genocide– “They said, for religious reasons, we just need to eradicate this entire outfit.”– Online slave auctions and cultural eradication– Internal Islamic arguments for abolition– Restricting the permissible for the common good– Informing conscience as first step toward action– Community sustaining long-term resistance– Catholic religious sisters as leading global abolitionists– Hidden slavery embedded in everyday consumer goods– “There's so much slavery flowing into our lives which is hidden… in our homes, our watches, our computers, the minerals, all this.”– Expanding moral imagination beyond immediate needs– “Your sphere of concern has to be wider… how do I start caring about something that I don't see?”– “It's time some person should see these calamities to their end.” (Thomas Clarkson, 1785)––––––––––––––––––#ModernSlavery#FaithAndJustice#HumanDignity#Abolition#FreeTheSlavesProduction NotesThis podcast featured Kevin Bales and Michael RotaEdited and Produced by Evan RosaHosted by Evan RosaProduction Assistance by Noah SenthilA Production of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School https://faith.yale.edu/aboutSupport For the Life of the World podcast by giving to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture: https://faith.yale.edu/give

This show is made possible by you! Description:  When was the last time you listened to the plants? Plant ecologist Robin Wall Kimmerer, a self-proclaimed “student of the plants,” has dedicated her life to helping people of all ages understand the symbiotic relationship between humans and nature. Her latest initiative “Plant Baby Plant” does exactly that, by mobilizing communities to restore plants while building collective power for the Earth. Kimmerer is a distinguished professor, MacArthur Fellow, mother and an enrolled member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation. Her 2013 book “Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants” emerged as a surprise bestseller with almost three million copies sold across 20 languages. In this enlightening episode, Robin Wall Kimmerer and Laura Flanders explore how nature can inform our language, our economy, our movements and more. As you'll hear, our survival depends on it. Plus, a commentary from Laura on what it took to separate people from nature. Hint: it wasn't peaceful.“I think it is so important that we embrace ecological grief rather than look away . . . When we recognize that pain we feel for our relationships with the natural world is also the measure of our love for the living world. It's that love which is mirrored in the grief that makes you get back up and say, ‘Not on my watch.'” - Robin Wall Kimmerer“. . . We have to kind of decolonize our minds from this industrial revolution concept that the Earth belongs to us as a source of nothing more than belongings, natural resources that are our property . . . There is this notion in many Indigenous worldviews that human beings play a critical role in maintaining balance, that the way we take from the living world can actually be regenerative.” - Robin Wall KimmererGuest:  Robin Wall Kimmerer: Plant Ecologist, Writer, Professor; Founder, Plant Baby Plant; Author, Braiding Sweetgrass*Recommended book:Bookshop: “The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World” by Robin Wall Kimmerer: Get the book*  And to accompany the book:(*Bookshop is an online bookstore with a mission to financially support local, independent bookstores.

In this episode of the Friends in Beauty Podcast, I am sharing the simple but powerful decision that completely changed the type of clients I attract and the way I experience my beauty business.As I kick off the first episode of 2026, I reflect on what truly shifted my career. It was not more content, more hustle, or more trends. It was the decision to stop talking to everyone and get clear on who I actually wanted to serve. Once I made that choice, everything began to change. My positioning became clearer, my boundaries became stronger, and the clients who came into my world were aligned, respectful, and willing to pay my rates.In this episode, I walk you through why clarity creates confidence, how positioning affects your pricing, and why defining your ideal client helps you attract high paying and high quality clients. I also share how content, language, and visibility naturally fall into place once you are clear on who you are speaking to.If you have been feeling scattered, underpaid, or unsure about your next move, this episode will help you step into 2026 with focus, confidence, and intention.

"This year didn't knock me out all at once — it chipped away at me. And somehow, that's what taught me surrender, trust, and confidence." -Kristen Olson "I don't need to have the whole plan — I just need the courage to keep showing up, trusting the work, and letting the next step reveal itself." -Ashley Knight Every year, we sit down for one of our most meaningful conversations of the entire season — our annual Year in Review and Year in Preview, and for the seventh year running, I'm joined by the one and only Ashley Simone Knight . This episode isn't about perfection or polished highlight reels. It's about real reflection, honest growth, deep gratitude, and setting intentions for what's next — personally, professionally, and spiritually. Together, Ashley and I unpack what 2025 actually looked like behind the scenes: the breakdowns, the breakthroughs, the lessons in timing, confidence, surrender, community, and what it really means to keep showing up when you're tired but still called. We talk about: Why 2025 felt like a year of being broken down — and rebuilt The power of confidence after doing the work Letting go of control and learning to surrender without quitting The role of community, mentors, and chosen family Navigating career uncertainty, relationships, and self-trust Why "being yourself" is not easy — but it's valuable How rest, fun, and alignment are non-negotiables moving into 2026 As we look ahead, we share what we're hoping for in 2026 — not rigid goals, but intentions rooted in peace, flow, abundance, love, health, and clarity. If you're closing out a year feeling exhausted but hopeful… If you're entering a new season unsure but still willing… If you need a reminder that you're not behind — you're becoming… This episode is for you.

Friends of the Rosary,Today in the Gospel (Mark 6:45-52), we see Christ Jesus coming toward the disciples walking on the sea, passing by the waters, signaling His lordship over all the powers of the disorder. Note that water is, throughout the Scriptures, a symbol of danger.The Lord moves through the waters and appeases the wind, reaffirming dominion over nature and inviting us to abandon our hardened hearts and trust in Him.The boat, with Peter and the other disciples on board, evokes the Church, which has weathered storms over time.Still in Christmas, on this Wednesday after Epiphany, this passage is another affirmation of the divinity of Christ.Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

I'm not sure how to introduce my latest (and newest) Cool Friend, Paige Harbison. She's an accomplished author who got her first novel published at the age of 19, a viral sensation on TikTok and Instagram with her One-Minute Hallmark Movie videos, she hosts the fantastic "Nameless Best Friends" podcast with her mother and brother, she's a painter, she's...well, she's a little bit of everything. Wait, scratch that: She's a LOTTA bit of everything, and she's an incredibly Cool Friend.This quickly became one of those effortless podcasts that took on a life of its own almost immediately. This could have easily become a 3 or 4 hour podcast, and it almost did, but my schedule and bank account couldn't have handled that much editing. Please enjoy this episode, follow Paige on the socials (@Pharbeaux), check out Nameless Best Friends, and go buy her books, including the recent hit The Other Side of Now, which you can get at stores that have books. (They should come up with a better name for that). And please head over to Patreon.com/jeffmay to enjoy (among other things) the exclusive content that we recorded JUST FOR PATRONS!

Friends of the Rosary,Today, January 5th, Day Twelve of Christmas, is in the U.S. the feast day of St. John Neumann, bishop (1811-1860) and the patron saint of Catholic Education [in the picture]. Born in Bohemia (current Czech Republic), after coming to the United States, he worked in establishing parishes and parish schools. In 1852, he was consecrated Bishop of Philadelphia and introduced the Forty Hours devotion.In today's Gospel (Matthew 4:12-17, 23-25), we see Christ Jesus in Capernaum and all of Galilee, teaching in synagogues, proclaiming the Gospel, and curing disease and illness among the people.“His fame spread to all of Syria,and they brought to him all who were sick with various diseasesand racked with pain,those who were possessed, lunatics, and paralytics,and he cured them. And great crowds from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, and Judea,and from beyond the Jordan followed him.”And Our Lord only asked one thing: repentance from sins.“Repent, for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand.”Related to this divine invitation, in the first reading, St. John tells us (John 3:22–4:6)“Beloved:We receive from him whatever we ask,because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him.And his commandment is this:we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ,and love one another just as he commanded us.Those who keep his commandments remain in him, and he in them,and the way we know that he remains in usis from the Spirit whom he gave us.”Ave MariaCome, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Friends of the Rosary,Today, January 6, on the thirteenth day of Christmas, in many countries and dioceses, the Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord is celebrated, the manifestation and revelation of the Lord as the light of the nations and the affirmation of our universal salvation.The three Kings — the Magi — come from the East to adore and offer Him gifts.The Epiphany symbolizes our religious journey, following and finding Him in the Eucharist. In our earthly pilgrimage, we try to remove the many attachments in our hearts.St. Paul, in his letter to the Ephesians 3:2-3; 5-6, addresses the Gentile converts from Rome and reminds us of our great privilege of being called to the Christian faith. We are now God's new Chosen People; we are now members of Christ's mystical body.Christmas brings us a new light. Christ begins to enlighten and bless the world, and we share the Church's confidence and her liturgy.Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Everyone wants to be seen, heard and understood. Create deeper, stronger connections by peering into the heart of mankind...

Friends, we come to this wonderful feast of the baptism of the Lord. And the first thing to know is that this was a profoundly embarrassing event for the first Christians. Jesus is the son of God, the sinless Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world. So why is he going to John the Baptist to seek a baptism of repentance? Jesus begins his public ministry with a kind of embarrassing, humiliating act—and, in a way, that is the point of it.
