This week Fr. Michael talks about the poverty we find ourselves in and how it can be attractive to others. He uses the stories of Photina, St. Moses the Black, and Mary Magdalene to show how each of them embraced some level of poverty, ultimately bringing Jesus to others. References:John 4:1-42Luke 16:9The Reed of God by Caryll HouselanderFr.

Bug Hall, best known as Alfalfa from "The Little Rascals," takes us on his extraordinary journey from Hollywood sets to homesteading.Bug's story begins with an unexpected casting call that launched him into stardom at age 8. Over the next two decades, he appeared in approximately 100 film and TV productions, culminating in an Emmy nomination. But beneath the success lurked struggles with substance abuse starting as early as age 11. While many child stars' stories end in tragedy, Bug's took a remarkable turn when he encountered Catholicism through Father Ripperger, a renowned exorcist priest.The conversation delves into Bug's profound spiritual awakening and his controversial decision to "self-cancel" - walking away from Hollywood entirely after concluding the entertainment industry is fundamentally incompatible with his Catholic faith. "I fundamentally reject the idea that Catholics can change Hollywood from within," Bug explains. "The entire foundation of filmmaking is sodomitical."Most compelling is Bug's embrace of voluntary poverty as a path to freedom rather than deprivation. Living with minimal overhead expenses on a farm, building structures by hand, and raising his children in a lifestyle centered on prayer and simplicity, Bug challenges our modern assumptions about success and fulfillment. "Poverty only sucks if you're desperately trying to get out of it," he reflects. "When you embrace it, there's something psychologically freeing about letting go of the rat race."Now building a timber-frame stone house in Arkansas "designed to stand 500 years," Bug shares practical wisdom about sustainable living, the psychological benefits of direct stewardship over land, and the profound peace that comes from radical fidelity to conscience. His testimony offers a powerful alternative to our culture's relentless pursuit of more.Sponsored by Recusant Cellars, an unapologetically Catholic and pro-life winery from Washington state.

The year is 1968. Summertime. Washington, DC. And covering the National Mall are endless rows of shacks built by hundreds of poor families from across the United States. It's called Resurrection City, and they have come to Washington to demand an end to poverty and a new economic bill of rights… for the poor.This was Martin Luther King Jr's dream. The Poor People's Campaign is what he'd been working for in the months before he was killed in April 1968. The city would last for six weeks. It would inspire thousands. Its legacy would last for decades. This is episode 51 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange. Independent investigative journalism, supported by Global Exchange's Human Rights in Action program. Each week, we'll bring you stories of resistance like this. Inspiration for dark times.

Welcome to the Unconventional Ministry Podcast, hosted by Dennis Wiens, where we explore innovative approaches to sharing the Gospel. In this episode, Dennis interviews Todd Michaels, the founder of the Story Stewardship Initiative. Todd makes a bold claim: that over 95% of believers will take their stories to the grave. He calls this “the greatest missed Kingdom opportunity of our time.” In a church culture saturated with sermons, promotions, and devotionals, he points to the quiet absence of something essential, the stories of ordinary believers, bearing witness to the extraordinary grace of God. This episode challenges leaders to move beyond content creation to story cultivation, intentionally creating space where testimonies are not only celebrated but also stewarded. Through presence, prayer, and practice, Todd invites churches to equip believers to share their stories vulnerably and authentically, captured on video and shared online for Kingdom impact. This conversation will awaken a new vision: a church where no story of God's grace is wasted and every testimony becomes a tool for spiritual formation, community building, and digital outreach.

In Part 2 of our “The prosperity gospel, the poverty gospel, and the truth most Christians miss” series, we dive into some of Jesus' most controversial teachings on wealth. You've heard “sell everything,” “camel through the eye of a needle,” and “blessed are the poor,” but what if we've been misunderstanding who He was talking to and why?  In this episode, we unpack: Why Jesus told the rich young ruler to sell everything—and why He didn't tell Zacchaeus the same thing. The real reason wealth can be dangerous (it's not what you think). Why Joseph of Arimathea, Nicodemus, and a group of wealthy women were never asked to give everything away. The parable that proves Jesus wasn't against being wealthy—but was deeply concerned about our heart posture. Why abundance is meant to be shared—and how shopping, gardening, or even buying sunglasses can become worship. A fresh, biblical perspective that helps you steward what God has given you without shame, guilt, or greed. Resources Mentioned:

Independent investigative journalism, broadcasting, trouble-making and muckraking with Brad Friedman of BradBlog.com

Economists have claimed for years that Americans are prospering more than ever before. So why do so few people feel that way?Philip Pilkington, author of the forthcoming The Collapse of Global Liberalism, joins Oren to discuss how these economic metrics are obscuring real problems. The two challenge the assumption that consumption is an unalloyed good and discuss the need to think about our nation's economic health in a way that centers human flourishing.Further reading:“The Limits of Consumption Deepening: Why Consuming More Makes Us Poorer” by Philip Pilkington

On today's episode, we welcome Michael G. Kehoe, a filmmaker who turned a whisper of an idea into the resounding voice of a feature film. From Brooklyn to Hollywood, from an eight-year-old boy watching his mother direct community theater to a director commanding his own set, Michael's journey is one of persistence, heartbreak, and sheer creative will.In this profound conversation, Michael G. Kehoe shares the winding road of his career, one marked by passion and loss. A pact among friends, the bright lights of New York, and the uncertainty of Los Angeles formed the backdrop to his early years. But it was a personal tragedy—the untimely passing of two close friends—that set the stage for his first short film, Second Dance. With no roadmap but a fierce determination, he crafted a story that not only resonated but landed him in the heart of Sundance, proving that even the smallest project can open the biggest doors.The journey didn't stop there.Years later, inspired by his twin boys' innocent bedtime fears, he penned a horror story that would eventually become The Hatred. Rather than waiting for a green light from the industry, he carved his own path. He created Hush, a short film that distilled the very essence of fear—the anticipation of the unknown. The reaction was immediate. Audiences jumped, festivals awarded, and industry heavyweights, including the producers behind Halloween, took notice. The lesson? The industry rewards those who show, not just tell.But success in Hollywood is rarely a straight road. Shooting The Hatred on a tight budget and an even tighter schedule meant adapting, improvising, and making every shot count. “Poverty breeds creativity,” Michael says, a testament to the resilience needed in independent filmmaking. Working with a largely female cast, he crafted a horror film that stood apart from the blood-soaked clichés, focusing instead on atmosphere, character, and tension. The result? A film that paid homage to the horror classics of the past while carving its own identity in the present.Of course, filmmaking is a collaborative art. Michael speaks of the relationships that make the journey worthwhile—the actors who return to work with him time and again, the cinematographers who bring his visions to life, and the producers who take a chance on passion over pedigree. “Surround yourself with people smarter than you,” he advises. A lesson as true for life as it is for film.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bulletproof-screenwriting-podcast--2881148/support.

On this episode of Guest Commentary, we hear from the president of The Community Grocer, who says the fed's proposed $300 billion SNAP rollback would hurt hungry Pennsylvanians and erase $5.3 billion in economic benefit

Episode 94 is a special one for several reasons, not the least of which is that it's the first show where the guest made Mike cry! You will be challenged listening to this interview with Mike's friend, sales executive extraordinaire and leadership guru Jeff Hancher, who shares his personal journey from pain and poverty to powerful purpose.  Jeff's story of resilience and how sales changed the trajectory of his life will remind many listeners of why we got into the sales profession in the first place. And every sales leader will benefit hearing about Jeff's rise through the ranks and the transformational leadership lessons learned along the way – particularly the critically important ability for leaders to give Firm Feedback in a Fragile World (which also happens to be the title of Jeff's amazing new book). Be sure to take particular note of the segment (starting at the 17:30 mark) that Mike refers to as the greatest five-minute leadership sermon he's ever heard as Jeff expands on the book's promise: “how to build a winning culture with critical conversations.”  Lean in as Jeff exhorts listeners on the resulting benefits when leaders properly balance making deep deposits that earn the right to make big withdrawals.  RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Firm Feedback in a Fragile World: How to Build a Winning Culture with Critical Conversations Jeff Hancher    This episode is sponsored by Pursuit Sales Solutions.

The imposter syndrome episode every teacher needs. You're in the classroom, trying your best, showing up with good intentions… but there it is. That sneaky voice that whispers: “Maybe I'm not cut out for this.”Sound familiar? Yeah. Me too.In this episode, I'm walking you through four of the biggest ways imposter syndrome has crept into my teaching life — from crying over curriculum codes to having students find me on Tinder (yes, really). Because if you've ever felt like the only teacher in the building who doesn't have it together, this is your reminder: you're not alone.More importantly, this isn't a “rah rah you've got this” fluff pep talk. This is real-talk about the systems that set you up to feel like a fraud, why your self-doubt makes total sense, and how to reframe those fears into fuel.If you've been feeling like a walking imposter in your own classroom — this one's for you. Let's roll the tape.What You'll Learn:The four most common (and painful) ways imposter syndrome shows up in teachingWhy feeling confused by curriculum or acronyms doesn't make you incompetentHow a group of Year 12s and Tinder nearly sent me into hiding (true story)Why behaviour challenges aren't proof that you're failing — just that you need better toolsThe difference between good and crap leadership when you're strugglingHow to stop measuring your worth by how quiet your classroom looksResources Mentioned:The Pedagogy of Poverty episode Join The Behaviour Club: https://www.the-unteachables.com/tbcHave a question, comment, or just want to say hello?

This might be the most important conversation we've had about money, faith, and the Bible. For years, we've wrestled with it. One side says God wants you rich. The other says being poor makes you holy. But neither seemed to fully line up with Scripture. What if both extremes missed the point? In this episode, we kick off a 5-part series where we break down: What the Prosperity Gospel gets right—and dangerously wrong How the Poverty Gospel subtly creeps in as "humility" The parable that changed everything for us  The biblical third way no one talks about enough How prayer can shift false teachers more than criticism ever could Why stewardship (not ownership) is the core financial principle of Scripture How even Mother Teresa modeled biblical abundance through simplicity If you've ever struggled to reconcile your faith with your finances… this episode is for you.   Resources Mentioned:

1 A wise son listens to his father's instruction, but a scoffer doesn't listen to rebuke. 2 By the fruit of his lips, a man enjoys good things, but the unfaithful crave violence. 3 He who guards his mouth guards his soul. One who opens wide his lips comes to ruin. 4 The soul of the sluggard desires, and has nothing, but the desire of the diligent shall be fully satisfied. 5 A righteous man hates lies, but a wicked man brings shame and disgrace. 6 Righteousness guards the way of integrity, but wickedness overthrows the sinner. 7 There are some who pretend to be rich, yet have nothing. There are some who pretend to be poor, yet have great wealth. 8 The ransom of a man's life is his riches, but the poor hear no threats. 9 The light of the righteous shines brightly, but the lamp of the wicked is snuffed out. 10 Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is with people who take advice. 11 Wealth gained dishonestly dwindles away, but he who gathers by hand makes it grow. 12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when longing is fulfilled, it is a tree of life. 13 Whoever despises instruction will pay for it, but he who respects a command will be rewarded. 14 The teaching of the wise is a spring of life, to turn from the snares of death. 15 Good understanding wins favor, but the way of the unfaithful is hard. 16 Every prudent man acts from knowledge, but a fool exposes folly. 17 A wicked messenger falls into trouble, but a trustworthy envoy gains healing. 18 Poverty and shame come to him who refuses discipline, but he who heeds correction shall be honored. 19 Longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul, but fools detest turning from evil. 20 One who walks with wise men grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm. 21 Misfortune pursues sinners, but prosperity rewards the righteous. 22 A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children, but the wealth of the sinner is stored for the righteous. 23 An abundance of food is in poor people's fields, but injustice sweeps it away. 24 One who spares the rod hates his son, but one who loves him is careful to discipline him. 25 The righteous one eats to the satisfying of his soul, but the belly of the wicked goes hungry.

Is cryptocurrency the future of finance—or the funeral dirge of the U.S. economy?In this explosive episode of The Neoliberal Round, Rev. Renaldo C. McKenzie delivers a fiery indictment of the growing crypto craze and the danger it poses to America's most powerful asset: the U.S. dollar. From Donald Trump Jr.'s praise of crypto to the silent shift of BRIC nations away from the dollar, this episode exposes the slow unraveling of economic supremacy in the name of digital freedom.

Poverty is a key driver of health disparities. But numerous policies have been shown to help alleviate poverty and improve health equity, according to Dr. Rita Hamad, associate professor of social and behavioral sciences at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Hamad says policymakers need to look upstream and identify the root causes of health issues. “And really recognizing that poverty is one of the major root causes of those issues, and that if we don't address that… those health issues are just going to keep arising and not getting any better,” she says.  On this episode of the Health Disparities podcast, Hamad speaks with Movement Is Life's Dr. Charla Johnson about evidence-based policies for alleviating poverty — like the child tax credit, earned income tax credit — and explains how healthcare systems can get more involved in bolstering the social safety net.

“For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.” - 2 Corinthians 8:9This powerful verse is often quoted when we talk about generosity, and rightly so. It shows us that generosity isn't just a financial principle—it's rooted in the very heart of the Gospel. Today, Dr. Nathan W. Harris joins us to explore that connection more deeply.Dr. Nathan W. Harris is the Vice President of Strategic Initiatives at The University of Mobile in Mobile, Alabama. He is also the author of A Short Guide to Gospel Generosity: Giving as an Act of Grace.What Is Gospel Generosity?Gospel generosity is giving rooted in the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ. Generosity is not merely a virtue for the Christian life but a cheerful disposition that springs forth from the gospel. This kind of generosity arises from new life in Christ, is empowered by the Holy Spirit, and reflects the Father's model of grace throughout creation.At its core, gospel generosity isn't just about giving—it's about proclaiming and portraying Christ's saving work in our lives. It signifies a radical transformation of a believer's heart and mind, leading to joyful stewardship of resources in service to God's kingdom.Beyond the Tithe: A Higher CallingOne of the most debated topics surrounding generosity is the concept of tithing. Are Christians called to tithe, or is there a greater expectation?While tithing—giving 10%—is not explicitly required for Christians, the gospel calls us to something far greater. We aren't obligated to give; instead, Christians have an incredible gospel opportunity. We are called to live generously, humbly, selflessly, and with the kingdom of God in mind.This perspective reframes giving not as a rule to follow but as an act of grace and worship, rooted in gratitude for what Christ has done.How the Gospel Transforms Our View of MoneyThe gospel transforms our hearts and minds and revolutionizes how we approach money and stewardship. Martin Luther once said:“There are three conversions in one's life—the conversion of the heart, the mind, and the pocketbook.” When we encounter Christ, our hearts are filled with affection for Him, and our minds are set on heavenly things. However, many Christians struggle to surrender their finances to God fully. You can't hold on to Christ while also holding on to your money.A heart transformed by the gospel desires to honor Christ above wealth. A mind renewed by the gospel prioritizes kingdom values over worldly ones. This transformation shapes every aspect of our financial lives, from earning and saving to spending and giving.Living as Stewards of God's ResourcesWhen our hearts and minds are fully surrendered to Christ, our finances naturally follow. Giving becomes not just an obligation but an act of worship and a reflection of the gospel's transforming power.To explore these ideas further, check out Dr. Nathan W. Harris's book,  A Short Guide to Gospel Generosity: Giving as an Act of Grace. This concise guide offers biblical wisdom and practical insights into living a life of joyful, gospel-rooted generosity.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have a whole life insurance policy for my mom that we've been paying on for about nine years.

Mike Baer sits down with Matt Hangen, CEO of Water4, for one of the most challenging and inspiring Business as Mission conversations to date. Matt shares his story—from a rough childhood in rural Alabama to becoming a missionary in West Africa, where limited resources sparked a radically different approach to solving poverty. What began as “doing what they could with what they had” has become one of the most scalable and spiritually fruitful BAM models in the world.Now leading a water utility serving over 1 million people, Matt explains why water access is more about time than health, how a for-profit model outperforms charity, and how 30,000+ Discovery Bible Studies emerged organically from empowered local staff. They discuss the role of capitalism, the danger of Western assumptions, and what real disciple-making looks like when it's embedded in business and led by the people themselves.This episode is a masterclass in sustainable impact, Kingdom entrepreneurship, and honoring the dignity of the poor by unleashing their capacity—not replacing it.

Working with Parents of Children with Disabilities – What to Do if You Don't Get Onto the Next Course In Episode 341 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts, Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly, take us through this week's three topics: Firstly in ‘Ethical, Sustainable Practice', we explore the concept of everyday trauma. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Ellie Finch and Dr. Jo Griffin about their CPD lecture, which focuses on working with parents of children with disabilities, complex medical conditions, and special educational needs. And lastly in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken discuss what to do if you don't get accepted onto the next stage of your counselling training, offering support and strategies for staying motivated. Everyday Trauma [starts at 03:33 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken discuss how trauma isn't always caused by major events, it can also be the result of ongoing low-level stressors. These “small-t” traumas are often overlooked but can be just as impactful. Key points include: Everyday trauma includes repeated, subtle experiences that chip away at confidence and resilience over time. Common sources of everyday trauma: Education-based trauma – e.g. being misunderstood, shamed or unsupported at school. Workplace trauma – e.g. toxic environments, bullying, redundancy, or job insecurity. Medical trauma – mistrust or fear due to past negative healthcare experiences. Poverty and discrimination – food insecurity, racism, homophobia, ableism, or unsafe housing. Clients may minimise their experiences and not see them as “trauma”. These experiences may cause: Low self-esteem Anxiety Hypervigilance Burnout Internalised oppression Rory and Ken highlight the importance of: Being trauma-informed in your practice. Responding with empathy and curiosity, not correction. Holding a non-pathologising space where clients feel seen, heard, and accepted. Looking out for body-based trauma responses, such as shaking, shallow breathing, or restlessness. Working with Parents of Children with Disabilities [starts at 26:57 mins] In this week's Practice Matters, Rory is joined by Ellie Finch and Dr. Jo Griffin to discuss their new CPD lecture. They focus on how therapists can support parents who care for children with disabilities, complex medical conditions, or special educational needs (SEND). Key points from this discussion include: Parent-carers experience cumulative trauma from daily battles with healthcare, education, and support systems. This trauma can present as: Anger or withdrawal Burnout and overwhelm Grief over the imagined future for their child Therapeutic considerations: Be flexible with appointments. Understand the systems (SEND, healthcare, social care) that they're navigating. Be aware of the emotional toll of constant advocacy. Importance of recognising ‘inch-stones' - small milestones that are deeply meaningful to parent-carers. Avoid ‘toxic positivity', it's important to hold space for both joy and grief simultaneously. What to Do if You Don't Get Onto the Next Course [starts at 54:58 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken talk through the common but difficult experience of not being accepted onto the next stage of your counselling course. Key points include: Course places are often capped due to awarding body restrictions - sometimes, it's simply a numbers game. Rejection doesn't mean you're not good enough - there can be many reasons, including tutor availability or institutional changes. What you can do: Ask for feedback from your tutor or application panel. Reflect on any personal or academic development opportunities. Apply to other institutions with similar training standards. Stay focused on your ‘why' - what made you want to be a counsellor? Remember: Many practising therapists were once rejected from a course.

Referencing historical pandemics like cholera, Hong Kong flu, and COVID-19, Dr. Evans illustrates how slashing programs such as PEPFAR ($6 billion), Ryan White (part of HRSA's $1.7 billion cut), and refugee health ($2 billion) dismantles global disease surveillance and response systems. These cuts, he warns, could allow outbreaks in regions like Central Africa to spread to American cities, overwhelming hospitals and disrupting economic stability. Dr. Evans critiques the politicization of health policy, including Medicaid reductions and attacks on evidence-based HIV initiatives, which exacerbate poverty and disease spread. Despite these challenges, he finds hope in humanity's ability to unite across divides, urging physicians to frame global health investments as personal and economic protection for their patients. With another pandemic likely within five years, this episode empowers physicians to advocate for resilient public health systems.Three Actionable Takeaways:Connect Global to Local Risks – Educate patients that funding global health programs like PEPFAR prevents diseases from reaching their neighborhoods, ensuring hospital access.Emphasize Economic Stability – Highlight how public health cuts threaten financial markets and personal 401(k)s by causing pandemic-driven instability, advocating for prevention.Push for Evidence-Based Policy – Counter divisive rhetoric by promoting programs like Ryan White to community members, emphasizing their role in community health.About the Show:The Physician's Guide to Doctoring covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more.
