After Lam Wai Chan moved from his native Singapore to pastor a church in Japan, he panicked. The church had barely twenty members. In a nation known as a “missionary graveyard,” where about one percent of the nation’s people are Christian and many churches sit empty, Lam felt “like I was taking over a sinking ship.” Crying out to God, he sensed the answer: Offer the church back to Me. Rather than “update” worship or music, Wai Chan asked members to pray—for their needs, family members, friends who didn’t know Jesus. Slowly, the church doubled in size. Their faithful praying is a living, biblical model of how to build a community in Jesus. First, pray. “In every situation by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God,” Paul wrote, “and do all of this without worry about anything” (Philippians 4:6). In this way, we offer our ministries, churches, and programs back to God. We may plant seeds and water them, but as Paul said, “Neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow” (1 Corinthians 3:7). He was imploring believers at Corinth to stop quarrelling about which church leader they followed (v. 4). As Paul said, “No one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ” (v. 11). Let’s prayerfully give our churches back to Him. Then, watch them grow.

In this episode the guys break down the six best lifts for athletic fitness — the movements that translate directly to real world performance, sport and everyday life. They cover lunges and sled work, the standing overhead press, trap bar deadlift, one arm rows with rotation and pull ups, hanging leg raises done correctly, and band and cable chops for rotational power. They also reminisce about their worst business failures — Sal's second studio location that cost him 75K to break the lease, Adam's mobile car detailing hustle, Justin's app build, and Doug's story of losing his entire Japan savings to a fraudulent investment group that got raided by the IRS mid-call. Then they answer questions from Instagram on Bulgarian split squat imbalances, swapping exercises in MAPS 15 Powerlift, which program fixes imbalances and unlocks squat depth, and how to pair sprint intervals with strength training.

In January, 1946, a man came to the headquarters of the American occupation government of Japan and claimed to be Japan's true emperor. Who was he, why did he do this, and how does his story connect to an obscure figure from a civil war that happened more than 500 years earlier? Show notes here. 

Most people know sauna is good for them. Far fewer understand why, or why the difference between a generic infrared sauna and a precision-engineered one can be the difference between feeling good and genuine transformation. In this episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily Fletcher sits down with Connie Zach, co-founder of Sunlighten, for a science-grounded, story-rich conversation about the healing power of heat and light. Connie traces the origin of her 25-year mission to her brother's recovery from mercury poisoning, and the cardiovascular research she was quietly encountering while working in pharmaceutical development at Procter & Gamble. What she found convinced her that infrared sauna was one of the most underutilized healing technologies on the planet. Together, Emily and Connie break down the four wavelengths of the infrared spectrum, why each interacts with the body differently, and why Sunlighten's patented approach to separating and delivering those wavelengths produces results that general infrared products don't. They also share the transformation stories that have fueled Connie's work for decades: Leanne Rimes managing severe anxiety with what she calls her "happiness in a box," a woman named Jerry who went from being unable to climb stairs to moving freely again, and elderly patients who dramatically increased their exercise capacity through passive infrared therapy. Emily shares why infrared sauna is one of only two wellness practices she would take with her to a desert island, and what it feels like to combine daily meditation with consistent sauna use for nervous system support. In this episode, they explore: – The four wavelengths of the infrared spectrum and how each one interacts with the body – Why far infrared is the foundation of all infrared therapy and how it triggers cardiovascular conditioning – Near infrared's deep penetration capacity, and why Dr. Glenn Jeffrey at University College London says it does 90% of the heavy lifting in light therapy – Japan's Waon therapy: a first-line treatment for congestive heart failure showing a 50% reduction in hospitalization and death – How infrared sauna mimics passive exercise by increasing circulation, heart rate, and blood flow – The link between stagnant circulation and disease, and why consistent heat therapy keeps the system flowing – Connie's brother's recovery from heavy metal toxicity and the pharmaceutical research that changed everything – Why all infrared is not the same, and what to look for in a sauna if transformation is the goal – Leanne Rimes, chronic anxiety, and "happiness in a box" – What changes on the planet when more people have access to this level of recovery Key Moments: 00:00 – Why isn't everyone understanding the magic of heat and light? 05:09 – Introducing Connie Zach and Sunlighten 06:51 – The infrared spectrum: four wavelengths, four different effects 10:40 – Near infrared vs. red light: what actually penetrates the deepest 16:05 – Connie's origin story: her brother's healing from mercury poisoning 18:27 – Cardiovascular research that changed Connie's path out of pharma 20:23 – Infrared as passive cardiovascular conditioning 21:41 – Waon therapy in Japan and the 50% hospitalization reduction 24:15 – The elderly exercise capacity study 27:36 – Emily on circulation, stagnation, and disease 35:00 – Deathbed slideshow: the transformation stories 37:22 – Leanne Rimes: "happiness in a box" 41:10 – Dr. Jeff Spencer and the Sunlighten Solo 44:57 – What changes when a billion people use heat and light About Connie Zach Connie Zach is the co-founder of Sunlighten, a precision infrared sauna company with over 25 years of research-backed innovation. Her patented SoloCarbon technology is the only clinically studied full-spectrum infrared available. This episode is sponsored by Sunlighten.

The Last Safe Town: Could Your Town Hold It Together? In most emergencies, people think about two choices: stay home or bug out. But there's another piece that matters just as much: the town you already live in. In this episode, we're looking at your actual town as a survival asset. The roads, water system, grocery stores, fuel, comms, schools, churches, public works, medical care, local businesses, and the people who keep the whole thing running. Could your town handle 72 hours? What about three weeks? What about three months? We talk about what could cut your town off, how weather and geography shape your risks, whether people and supplies can actually move, where your water and food really come from, how fuel and power keep the town functioning, and why public works might be one of the most important groups nobody thinks about until something breaks. We also get into local comms, gathering places, medical weak points, outside support, leadership, outsiders coming in, and how to score your town with a simple green, yellow, or red “hold-together” test. Your town is not automatically safe because it's small. It's not automatically doomed because it has limits. The real question is whether you know what's actually there and whether those things can hold under pressure.

The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 1 (6.24) Timmy and the crew reacts to two massive earthquakes near Caracas, Venezuela, in the volatile Ring of Fire, with fears of thousands dead, buildings turned to rubble, and a tsunami warning in effect. This comes right after a solid shaker in Northern California this morning and the ongoing worry that LA could face major water shortages because of the huge Boyle Heights warehouse fire. The good news? That Boyle Heights blaze is finally out after burning for a week — Timmy proudly claims he helped apply the right kind of pressure on the firefighters. The bad news? Millions of pounds of rotting frozen food in the rubble are about to attract flies, mosquitoes, and vermin. California’s earthquake expert warns there could be up to 100,000 dead in Venezuela, and Japan got hit with a 6.9 quake today too. Timmy’s PSA? Stock up on water, people — the tectonic plates are moving and this shiz is getting scary. Classic Conway. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Christian Polanco and Alexis Guerreros react to Brazil's impressive 3-0 victory over Scotland and another standout performance from Vinícius Jr., who became the first Brazilian since 2002 to score in every group-stage match of a World Cup. The guys discuss whether Carlo Ancelotti has Brazil heating up at exactly the right time and what Neymar's return could mean for the Seleção heading into the knockout rounds. With a potential path through Japan and the winner of Ivory Coast vs. Norway, is Brazil quietly becoming the team nobody wants to face? The Cooligans then turn their attention to the USMNT's final group-stage match against Türkiye and discuss what they're most interested in seeing from Mauricio Pochettino's side. Does the tournament bracket seem to be opening up for the Americans? Can Gio Reyna make one final push for a starting role? The guys also dive into betting angles for USA-Türkiye, including whether Pepi, Haji Wright or Zendejas can find the back of the net and whether Türkiye can finally score their first goal of the World Cup. To wrap up the show, Christian and Alexis react to Canada's disappointing loss to Switzerland, a result that drops them to second place in the group but could potentially hand them a favorable Round of 32 matchup against South Africa. The guys debate whether Canada got lucky with the draw before previewing another exciting day of World Cup action, including Japan vs. Sweden, Ecuador vs. Germany and Paraguay vs. Australia.   Timestamps: (3:00) — Vini Jr. and Brazil peaking at the right time?

In this episode, Drew, Tom, and Ryan dig into the leftward lurch of the Democratic Party, unpacking the DSA wave behind Mamdani's New York sweep and what it means when self-described communists start winning the safest Democratic seats in the country. The conversation traces how populism is fueled by economic anxiety, why both parties keep racing to the extremes, and whether finding the way back to the middle is even possible anymore. From there, they get into the hard economics: why socialist and communist policies historically break the economy, the calorie-storage origin of the social contract, the freeloader problem that sinks societies, and the real fight over wages, corporations, and whether companies like Walmart and Amazon are the villains people think they are. They take on Trump's threat to sic the DOJ on big oil for price gouging, why government price controls always fail, and how the OPEC cartel and regulatory capture are the actual problems behind what you pay at the pump. The discussion turns global with a hard look at USAID, the claim that foreign aid has been quietly funding NGOs and destabilization movements abroad, Japan dumping US treasuries amid its liquidity crisis, and the financial repression playbook Washington may use to inflate its way out of a crushing national debt. They weigh in on Congress voting to curb hostilities with Iran and what it means for negotiating power. Finally, the episode goes deep on one of the most important debates of the next decade: a Michigan city council banning the pride flag, Muslim immigration and assimilation, whether Islam has had its reformation, separation of church and state, and the candid clash over whether America is truly a Christian nation or simply shaped by Christian values. Whether you're here for sharp political analysis, hard economic truth, or a deeper look at the values shaping society, this episode offers a nuanced, unflinching take on how today's choices will define tomorrow.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Many products have labels noting where they were made. Maybe Made in China, Japan, Mexico, or Made in the U.S.A.
