Podcasts about Pride

TRANSparental is not a compliment. It is one parent crossing into the other parent's office and running both while that other parent is still alive, still named, or still on the court paper. Necessity can start it. Pride finishes it. The child grows up under a government that will not stand for review. Some of that government is triage. Fists. Needles. A man or woman who never came. A child who refuses that person is not your trophy. That child is reporting a crime scene. Steal that report, dress it as “he just wants his daddy,” and you are doing the abuser's paperwork. The rest is occupation. You took the vacant shift. Then the shift took your name. Then the child's loyalty became how you sleep. Then warmth toward the living predecessor became betrayal. Courts never bought Gardner's syndrome as medicine. They still see the campaign. Dead phones. Erased photos. Drop-off speeches in your cadence. A kid fluent in your wound and starved of their own hours. Resentment is the fuel. You are not “triggered.” You are parenting the breakup through a body that did not choose it. Happy weekends get colder rules. The face at the door does the sentencing before the mouth does. Pawn-ograhy is the method. Spy. Messenger. Confidant. Stand-in. Trophy. Midnight audience. The child is footage so you can finish a fight you would not finish with an adult. Family systems already caught you. Triangulation. Coalition across generations. Parentification. Enmeshment. You promoted a kid or kept a kid small so you would not have to be one grown person in a room with another grown person. Gatekeeping is not only locking out danger. It is starving a usable parent until they look useless, then pointing at the corpse you made. Fathers run the same play with money and myth. A check is not a father. A slogan is not a mother. Poverty and court delay dress monopoly as fate. High conflict between houses can wound worse than the empty chair. The strong-mother hymn can sanctify a throne. The discarded-father hymn can bless a quit. Nonresident parents who actually stay in cut harm. An excellent solo parent still does not cancel the hunt. Age arrives. The child can smell adults without your narration. A new partner applies for a job that was never posted. You call it protection. The child calls it later, when they cannot hold a partner without managing them like a parent. The spiritual charge is theft. You assigned a child to complete a romance and a gender office they did not apply for.

How do you know if God is calling you into ministry? Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar, along with John Harris, explore the weight of handling God's Word and the distinction between being called to serve and being called to vocational ministry. The guys begin by challenging the sacredsecular divide, reminding listeners that faithfulness is not limited to pastors, missionaries, or employees of Christian organizations. Every believer is called to glorify God in the work already before them. Rather than waiting for a title or position, Christians should begin by faithfully serving where God has placed them and allow any future ministry role to grow out of that obedience.The conversation then turns to how a calling often becomes evident through faithful service. The guys share that their paths into ministry began with preaching, discipling, evangelizing, and serving long before a formal position came along. A desire for ministry should be accompanied by a genuine love for God's people, a burden for the lost, and gifts already being exercised within the local church. They encourage listeners to start small and seek counsel from mature believers. A calling should first be tested locally, where character, service, and spiritual fruit can be seen.From there, the guys address both the dangers and rewards of ministry. Pride, money, and the desire for recognition can easily distort a person's motives. At the same time, opposition and hardship are unavoidable for those who faithfully serve Christ. Ministry is service, not a platform, and those who pursue it should expect their faith to be tested. Yet few privileges are greater than preaching God's Word, building up His people, and proclaiming the gospel. The guys encourage those considering ministry to remain rooted in a local church, depend deeply on prayer, and honestly examine whether the burden to serve Christ endures even when the work is difficult and unseen. Finally, the conversation offers a framework for discerning vocational ministry through calling, capacity, competency, character, and affirmation from the local church. Giftedness alone is not enough if spiritual fruit and godly character do not grow alongside it. The guys warn against rushing into ministry for identity, reminding listeners that their identity is already secure in Christ. Whether or not a formal position ever comes, believers can continue serving God in their homes, churches, neighborhoods, and workplaces. Faithfulness in small things is never insignificant, and true ministry begins long before anyone receives a title.Send us Fan MailThanks for listening!

The Bible reveals one of the characteristics that is most damaging to our relationship with God and others is pride. Yet, most of us don't readily confess pride as a struggle. Perhaps it's because pride is subtle, and it's difficult to see in ourselves.Main Points:1. Pride is often described as the silent enemy of the soul, lurking in the shadows and hindering our relationship with God. It can be challenging to recognize pride within ourselves, because it doesn't always reveal itself in overt ways.2. Pride blinds us to our faults and weaknesses. When pride lurks within us, we become defensive and resistant to feedback or correction. Instead of humbly acknowledging our shortcomings, we may find ourselves justifying our actions or blaming others. Pride convinces us that we are always right.3. So how do we combat pride and cultivate humility in our lives? The answer lies in following the example of Jesus Christ, who humbled Himself and became obedient to the will of God.Today's Scripture Verses:Proverbs 12:15 - "The way of fools seems right to them, but the wise listen to advice.”Psalm 139:23 - “Search me, O God, and know my heart.”Jeremiah 17:9 - “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; Who can know it?”Philippians 2:3-4 -  "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others."    Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

Liana Douillet Guzman is the CEO of Folx Health, the LGBTQIA+ healthcare platform she almost didn't take the job to run. In this episode, Liana joins Eugene and co-host Marina Berhovic (in for a traveling Jim Joyce) to walk through why 95% of people who come to Folx say they never had an affirming provider before, why the average clinician graduates with roughly five hours of LGBTQIA+-specific training, and why a routine "find a doctor" search can drop from 20,000 providers to 600 once you filter for who is actually willing to treat this community. Liana also traces her own winding path here, through legal tech, crypto, and online education, and gets candid about where she thinks clinical AI is already failing trans patients, including a real case where an AI system recommended conversion therapy. 00:00 - Cold Open - Marina Steps In as Co-Host01:36 - Liana's Origin Story - Puerto Rico to Connecticut07:01 - Falling Into Marketing by Accident10:56 - Ten Years at Axiom, Then COO at Blockchain11:57 - The Call From Folx - Why a Reluctant CEO Said Yes20:35 - The Pediatrician Form That Changed Everything24:54 - What Folx Health Actually Does27:00 - 95 Percent Had No Affirming Provider Before Folx27:19 - Five Hours - The Entire LGBTQIA Medical Curriculum29:00 - From Cash-Pay to Every National Payer33:34 - The Search That Drops 20,000 Doctors to 60039:00 - Ignorant at Scale - AI's Data Problem for Trans Patients42:54 - Why AI-First Health Companies Race to the Bottom43:45 - When AI Recommended Conversion Therapy45:34 - The Shot Question - Advice to Younger Liana Guest: Liana Douillet Guzman, CEO, Folx Health - LinkedIn - folxhealth.com Mentioned in this episode: Marina Berhovic, Lee Shapiro, Kate Steinle (Folx Chief Clinical Officer), Point of Pride, Blue Shield of California.

Spiritual pride is sneakier than obvious sin - and it can hide inside your prayers, your Bible reading, your theology, and even your humility. Tim Holloway breaks down John of the Cross's Dark Night of the Soul to show why God's humbling seasons are not punishment, but formation.If you've ever felt spiritually “mature,” looked down on other Christians, or wondered why correction feels so painful, this conversation will challenge you. Tim traces the danger of tribalism, self-righteousness, and false humility, then shows how God uses testing to move you beyond a comfort-first faith into something deeper.You'll discover: why “nurturing” faith is good, but not meant to be the final stage how spiritual disciplines become dangerous when they turn into badges of honor why comparison, correction, and religious performance reveal hidden pride how false humility can sound holy while actually contradicting what God says about you what true humility looks like when your identity is rooted in God's view, not public approval Tim also connects the chapter's themes to practical examples from church culture, morality, and the way believers use scripture, worship, and service either as instruments of love or weapons of superiority. Along the way, he points to the deeper goal of spiritual growth: not looking impressive, but becoming more loving.If you need a reset from religious performance, this episode will expose the subtle ways pride distorts faith and invite you back to a spirituality that is measured by love, not status. Essential listening if you want a more honest, grounded, and transformative walk with God. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What happens when sound theology is separated from a living love for Christ? In this special episode of Richard Reacts, Richard Henry responds to the controversy surrounding G3 and the public failures of prominent Christian leaders. Drawing from Paul’s warning about Demas in 2 Timothy 4, Richard considers how theological knowledge and public ministry can never substitute for personal holiness, humility, and faithfulness to Christ. Pride, influence, money, bitterness, and hidden sin can ensnare anyone. This is not merely a warning about other leaders or ministries—it is a call for every Christian to examine himself, love Christ, cherish his family, remain rooted in the local church, and take heed lest he fall.

Reach Out Via Text!This may be one of the most transparent episodes Jeremiah has ever recorded on the Growing Green Podcast. After navigating one of the hardest financial years he's experienced in business, Jeremiah opens up about mistakes with pricing, labor costs, staffing, debt, cash flow, and decisions made years ago that Growing Green is still paying for today.Instead of sharing the story once everything is fixed, Jeremiah shares what it looks like while still walking through it—including the difficult decisions being made to rebuild profitability, strengthen operations, improve labor efficiency, and get the right people in the right seats. At the center of it all is one lesson: drop your pride and admit where you need help.Jeremiah also discusses the importance of auditing your numbers, understanding revenue per labor hour, investing in better systems and training, and recognizing when you—as the owner—might be the common denominator behind recurring problems. Ultimately, he shares how this season has forced him to lean more heavily on his faith and reminds business owners that sometimes the first step toward fixing your company is admitting you can't do everything on your own. Support the show10% off LMN Software- https://lmncompany.partnerlinks.io/growinggreenpodcastSignup for our Newsletter- https://mailchi.mp/942ae158aff5/newsletter-signupBook A Consult Call-https://stan.store/GrowingGreenPodcastLawntrepreneur Academy-https://www.lawntrepreneuracademy.com/The Landscaping Bookkeeper-https://thelandscapingbookkeeper.com/Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/growinggreenlandscapes/Email-ggreenlandscapes@gmail.comGrowing Green Website- https://www.growinggreenlandscapes.com/

Ben Ward grew up in a split home, found his foundation in his dad's dusty box of Nightingale-Conant cassette tapes, and then got humiliated his first summer selling door-to-door — zero sales, a nickel flicked at him, and a breakdown on an Oceanside beach. That breaking point became the start of a career that took him from $25K his first real summer to over $400K a year, a company he co-founded to a public offering, and later an executive role scaling LuLaRoe to $2.2 billion. He also opens up about the hubris that drove his own company into the ground, what he learned about the gap between selling and leading, and his upcoming book co-authored with Brian Tracy. This one covers faith, family, failure, and the real cost of pride.

Pull up a chair in the Solarium, pour something warm, and prepare for a very bookish, very witchy catch-up with Laylla and Chelle.This time around, the witches are flipping pages, checking the stars, and knocking a few titles off of their ever-growing magical to-read pile. They explore the music, folklore, and enchantment woven through Irish tradition in Draíocht Ceoil: The Sound of Magic in Irish Traditions by Geraldine Moorkens Byrne, then wander into the shadowy halls of the psyche with Aliza Einhorn's Tarot of the Unconscious, a fascinating look at the connections between tarot, psychoanalysis, symbolism, and everything lurking just beneath the surface.They also crack open Patricia Telesco's Your Book of Shadows and talk about what it offers witches looking to create a magical record that actually feels personal rather than like something copied out of someone else's grimoire. Then it is time to consult the heavens with Wyatt's Astrological Year Calendar 2026 from AstrologicalYear.com and Theresa Reed's The Book of Astrological Returns, exploring how astrology can become something you work with throughout the year instead of something you only remember when Mercury starts acting suspicious.And because no proper Solarium gathering is complete without a little tea, Laylla and Chelle catch up on what has been happening in the wider Pagan community, including Beck Ravenswood's ongoing fight against Pennsylvania's old divination law and the larger questions it raises about religious freedom, fortune telling, and why laws written for another century are still haunting modern witches.There is also plenty of Pagan Pride Day talk, upcoming events, community happenings, books worth adding to your shelf, and the usual wandering conversations that happen when two witches are left alone with caffeine, new magical supplies, and opinions.Come hang out in the Solarium. The books are open, the tea is hot, and apparently Pennsylvania law still needs an exorcism.Got a question? Send the witches a message here!Support the showWant to send us a letter?

The Pride parted ways with coach Seb Hines after losing their fourth match out of five. The Pride have been terrible since the restart after the World Cup break, but somehow beat the two best teams they played (Kansas City and Washington). There's no rhyme or reason, except perhaps the best teams bring out the best in what's left of the Pride's...err...pride.We discuss Hines' departure with Yolanda Thomas taking over as interim manager and what that means, as well as whether the roster was overrated and finally caught up with him. Injuries in 2026 obviously didn't help things, and what comes next? We'll all find out together.This week's mailbagbox asked about which players not named Banda will score five or more goals in a season at some point in the future, the future of Oihane and Luana, and more.

Radical acceptance for homeschool moms starts with a hard question: what if the hardest part of your homeschool season isn’t actually the hard thing you’re facing? What if part of what’s exhausting you is the energy you’re spending fighting against the fact that it’s happening at all? Your child is struggling with something. Maybe you’re afraid you’ve made the wrong call. There’s uncertainty when the people closest to you don’t agree. Your teenager is launching into the world, and you’re not quite ready for how that feels. A quiet worry sits underneath it all: am I doing enough? Behind that struggle is usually a quiet belief: if I could just fix this, then I could finally breathe. If my child would just catch up to grade level. If only my homeschool would feel more successful. Maybe my husband or mom would finally understand. I wish I knew for sure the choices I’m making today would benefit my kids. If just one person would tell me I’m doing okay. Then maybe I could relax. Why We Can’t Just Relax But what if peace isn’t something that shows up after everything gets resolved? What if peace begins the moment we stop abandoning ourselves in the middle of what’s still unresolved? If you love deep, meaningful conversations like this, you won’t want to miss our Book Club Newsletter! Each month, we explore thought-provoking books that inspire personal growth, strengthen our homeschool journeys, and help us show up more fully for ourselves and our families. You’ll receive discussion highlights, reflection questions, and practical ways to apply these insights to your daily life. Join the Book Club Newsletter! Join the Book Club Newsletter! The Trance of ‘Not Enough’ (And Why Radical Acceptance for Homeschool Moms Matters) Tara Brach calls it “the trance of unworthiness” — the quiet, background belief that we’re not enough. Not patient enough, not organized enough, not spiritual enough, not calm enough. It’s a trance because we rarely notice we’re inside it. We just keep moving, comparing, researching, and looking for reassurance. Sound familiar? You make a homeschool decision — and then immediately Google whether it was the right one. You choose not to push your child through something, and wonder if you’re being too permissive. Or you do push, and worry you’ve damaged the relationship. There’s no decision that doesn’t seem to land you on trial in your own head. Underneath it all is one question: Can I trust myself without someone else confirming I’m right? If that trance feels familiar, it’s often rooted somewhere deeper — we talk more about that in Healing the Mother Wound for Homeschool Moms. What Radical Acceptance for Homeschool Moms Actually Means Radical acceptance doesn’t mean liking what’s happening, giving up, or becoming passive about harmful circumstances. It starts much simpler than that. It says: this is what’s happening right now. My child is struggling. I am overwhelmed. I don’t know what to do. The radical part isn’t the situation — it’s what we don’t add on top of it. Instead of layering judgment (“I should be handling this better,” “What’s wrong with me?”), we pause and simply acknowledge reality. There’s the pain of what’s happening. And then there’s the extra suffering we create by fighting the fact that it’s happening — and homeschool moms are remarkably good at generating that second layer. Two Wings: Clear Seeing and Compassion Tara Brach describes radical acceptance as needing two wings to fly: clear seeing and compassion. Clear seeing without compassion turns into self-criticism (“I always overcommit, I’m terrible at boundaries, why can’t I get it together?”). Compassion without clarity turns into avoidance (“Everything’s fine!” — when maybe something really does need to change). Together, they shift the questions we ask ourselves: Instead of What’s wrong with me? → What is happening here? Instead of Why can’t I handle this? → What is this experience asking me to notice? And instead of I need to fix myself. → What do I need right now? The Productivity Trance So many of us learned, early and often, that our worth is tied to output. Homeschooling can quietly become another productivity machine: Did we finish the workbook? How many pages? Are we ahead or behind? But what if the most important thing that happened today can’t be measured? What if presence was enough? That’s easier to believe on a podcast than on a Thursday afternoon when the checklist is half-done. Which is exactly why it’s worth asking: Where did I learn that today only counts if I produced enough? Is it true? And the harder question — what would happen if I stopped trying to earn my worth through productivity? If overwhelm is where you’re living most days right now, this companion post can help: How to Handle Homeschool Overwhelm. A Personal Season: Launching My Youngest This one is personal right now. After years of building life around the rhythms of children — lessons, meals, car rides, celebrations — the season is changing, and there’s a choice in how to meet it: fight reality, or let both things be true at once. This is beautiful. And this hurts. Pride in the young man he’s becoming, and grief for the little boy who no longer needs help spelling words (and now wins at Bananagrams instead). Homeschooling can become such a central part of a mother’s identity — organizer, facilitator, researcher, driver, worrier, celebrator — that when the season shifts, something in us shifts too. That identity shift is its own kind of grief worth naming — I explore it more in my identity as a home educator. Radical acceptance doesn’t say don’t grieve. It just stops making the grief itself a problem. A RAIN Practice for Radical Acceptance for Homeschool Moms When you’re in the thick of a hard homeschool moment, Tara Brach’s RAIN practice offers a simple way back to yourself: R — Recognize What is actually happening right now? Not what might happen — what’s here. A — Allow Can this moment be here, just for now? Not forever — just without the fight. I — Investigate Get curious. Is this about today, or is something older being activated? Is it uncertainty, grief, exhaustion, or an unvoiced need? N — Nurture What do I actually need right now? A break. Help. Food. A reminder that one hard day doesn’t define an entire education. Permission to be human in the middle of the unfinished, uncertain, imperfect reality. https://youtu.be/ABvnGnqM9-c?si=dybv0JgbRhPjIqUP The Real Radical Act Can you stop requiring external evidence before you let yourself believe you’re enough? Are you able to trust yourself even when not everyone agrees? What would it take to voice a need before you know how it’ll be received? (Voicing a need is often the first boundary — here’s how to start: Practical (& useful) steps to boundaries in your homeschool.) Could you have a hard homeschool day without turning it into a verdict on your motherhood? Is it possible to look at your child — and at yourself — with clear eyes and compassion, instead of through someone else’s checklist? Maybe what we’re really resisting isn’t the messy day or the uncertain season. Maybe it’s the possibility that we could stop striving long enough to simply be — not the ideal, fully-cooperating, everything-folded-correctly version of homeschool life, but this one. The real one. That might be the most radical thing we can do. Join the Conversation Joining the Homeschool Mama Book Club can be its own small act of radical acceptance for homeschool moms — an acknowledgment that you need space, support, honest conversation, and care too. Inside the Collective, you’ll meet women who understand the uncertainty, the relationship challenges, the identity shifts, and the pressure that can come with homeschool motherhood. On Fridays, we gather to read good books, explore meaningful ideas, and talk through shared challenges together. Bring us to your favorite café or close the bedroom door and join from home — either way, it’s an hour reserved for you. Find the link in the show notes to come join us. Join the Book Club in the Confident Homeschool Mom Collective Reflection Questions Where in your homeschool life do you notice the “trance of unworthiness” showing up? What’s one situation right now where you could practice clear seeing and compassion, rather than picking just one? Try RAIN this week: the next time you spiral, walk through Recognize, Allow, Investigate, Nurture — even just once. Thank you for spending this summer in the Homeschool Mama Book Club. I hope these books and conversations have given you permission to pause, reflect, and remember that the most important work you may ever do for your homeschool isn’t found in a book — it’s found inside you. — Teresa Wiedrick, Confident Homeschool Mom Podcast Latest episodes How to Practice Radical Acceptance for a Better Homeschool Mom Life September 1, 2026 15 Fun Activities for First Day of Homeschool Party August 31, 2026 How to Deal with Homeschool Mama Guilt (In No Easy Steps) August 29, 2026 Feeling Lost in Homeschooling?

What happens when sound theology is separated from a living love for Christ? In this special episode of Richard Reacts, Richard Henry responds to the controversy surrounding G3 and the public failures of prominent Christian leaders. Drawing from Paul’s warning about Demas in 2 Timothy 4, Richard considers how theological knowledge and public ministry can never substitute for personal holiness, humility, and faithfulness to Christ. Pride, influence, money, bitterness, and hidden sin can ensnare anyone. This is not merely a warning about other leaders or ministries—it is a call for every Christian to examine himself, love Christ, cherish his family, remain rooted in the local church, and take heed lest he fall.

Anthony “Mad Dog” Macias finally sits down with the MMA History Podcast after years of pursuit. At UFC 4 he was billed at 190 pounds, weighed closer to 160, and drew Dan Severn in the tournament. He went on to win multiple eight-man tournaments in Oklahoma and the IFC, then met Kazushi Sakuraba at Pride 7. Macias tells the unfiltered story of the headbutt era, promoter Buddy Albin, the controversial nine-second UFC 6 meeting with Oleg Taktarov, and the early fights that never made official records. He also discusses two decades as an Oklahoma referee and raising sons who now compete. The only podcast dedicated 100% to preserving mixed martial arts history through interviews with the men who lived it.0:00 start0:46 MMA History Podcast intro 1:19 Joey Venti's guest introduction 1:35 interview start 2:38 current life/ career3:17 fighting during the headbutt era 5:11 announced as a state champ wrestler 6:04 introduction to submission grappling 6:41 thoughts on promoter Buddy Albin 10:40 Anthony Macias sons MMA career11:02 lying about weight on UFC application 11:44 Buddy Albins relationship with the UFC12:39 UFC 4 name draw for matches 14:01 Anthony Macias vs Dan Severn 17:12 Anthony Macias vs Oleg Taktarov 18:22 early training partners 18:48 working for Andy Anderson 19:50 refusing to joining the Lions Den20:37 cornering Oleg Taktarov 22:34 Oleg Taktarov vs Dan Severn23:03 Anthony Macias vs He-Man Gibson25:27 alternate bout at UFC 6 26:19 full contact fighter interview 27:17 rough childhood growing up 28:18 working out with Ron Tripp28:41 conversations backstage at UFC 630:28 relationship with Buddy Albin after UFC30:52 thoughts on Tank Abbott 32:22 Ken Shamrock vs Oleg Taktarov 35:01 Underestimating Vladimir Matyushenko 36:27 OFFF 8 man tournament38:35 Anthony Macias vs John Dixson39:36 Anthony Macias vs Jason Nicholsen40:29 IFC Ukraine event 43:35 IFC 2 8 man tournament45:12 payment for 8 man tournaments46:11 Anthony Macias vs Brian Gassaway47:55 fighting over 20 bouts in 1 year 49:00 meeting John Perretti 49:50 Anthony Macias vs Allan Goes51:29 thoughts on Andy Anderson/ stories56:27 Oleg Taktarov vs Renzo Gracie 1:00:42 having grit and durability as a fighter1:02:19 tearing hamstring during fight 1:03:43 Anthony Macias vs Frank Trigg 1:05:08 Anthony Macias vs Wes Gassaway1:05:29 rematch with Vladimir Matyushenko1:06:57 Anthony Macias vs Cedric Marks 1:08:47 taking a 2 year break 1:09:35 Anthony Macias vs Kazushi Sakuraba1:12:13 experience in Japan1:12:42 relationship with Steve Nelson1:13:34 Anthony Macias vs Tony Ross1:13:59 relationship with Paul Smith 1:15:07 C3 struggles staying in business 1:16:07 Anthony Macias vs Jesse Jones 1:16:31 Anthony Macias vs Eiji Mitsuoka1:17:15 Anthony Macias vs Chad Cook 1:18:00 FFC promotion1:19:27 Anthony Macias vs Josh Neer1:21:07 Combat Corner program1:21:54 Anthony Macias vs Kevin Gittemeir 1:22:28 issues with Rafael Lovato 1:23:24 turned away from Jean Jacques Machado 1:24:50 Gene LeBell1:25:02 Anthony Macias vs Shonie Carter 1:26:34 having an underrated career1:27:26 C3 and their limitations1:28:28 Evan Tanner1:29:16 receiving different black belts1:30:14 dealings with Bob Shamrock 1:31:01 future plans for Neko Macias1:34:36 Mikey Burnett1:34:47 receiving the name Mad Dog1:35:03 interview wrap up 1:35:55 outro/ closing thoughtsInstagram https://www.instagram.com/mmahistorypodcast?igsh=aHVweHdncXQycHBy&utm_source=qrSpotify https://open.spotify.com/show/3q8KsfqrSQSjkdPLkdtNWb?si=aL3D5Y3aTDi-PQZdweWL8gApple Podcast MMA History PodcastYouTube https://youtube.com/@MMAHistoryPodcast?si=bj1RBXTZ2X82tv_JOutro song: Power - https://tunetank.com/t/2gji/1458-powerMike - The MMA Detective - @mikedavis632 Cash App - $mikedavis1231Venmo - Mike-Davis-63ZELLE: Cutthroatmma@gmail.com / ph#: 773-491-5052 Thank You for your supportMMAHistory #UFC #PrideFC #noholdsbarred

Send us Fan MailSomebody out there really claimed that washing his butt would “make him gay,” and we had to unpack the whole idea from the ground up. We go from hygiene and bidets to the deeper stuff hiding underneath: shame, fragile masculinity, and why taking care of your body should never feel like an identity crisis. Along the way, we share a garden surprise involving a truly enormous zucchini, because life insists on keeping us humble.Then we catch up on summer life in Denver, including Pride from our favorite balcony perch, the shifting mood when our LGBTQ community feels pressure, and our very honest hobby at Washington Park: “watching the puppies” (translation: appreciating sweaty joggers while we snack). We also talk theater nights with The Sound of Music, camping with friends from the Pride48 community, and the chaos of snow and hail storms that push us to rebuild and reimagine our backyard space.The heart of the conversation lands on a line that hits hard: you marry the best parts of a person and hope you can tolerate the rest. We connect it to friendship, long-term partnership, Al‑Anon lessons, and the freedom that comes from accepting a truth we all fight at some point: you cannot change other people. We close with Madonna's Confessions 2, the healing power of music, and why dancing has always been a lifeline in gay culture and chosen family.If you like funny, candid storytelling with real takeaways about relationships, codependency recovery, LGBTQ life, and pop music nostalgia, hit play.

Pride is white noise in this loud world, as everyone fights to be on top. But pride stands against the kingdom of God, and Christians must have no room for it. It opposes the very character of Christ. The resurrection shows the power of the humility of Christ on the cross. When we fight against the world's favorite spice, pride, and instead live in the salt of humility, we gain power to change the world itself. But this can only happen when we confess our pride and let Christ cast it off of us.

The Writing Is on the Wall | Thriving in Babylon The Babylonian Empire had survived for generations, and King Belshazzar believed his kingdom was secure. Even with an enemy army outside the city, he threw a party and used what had been set apart for God for his own pleasure. Then the writing appeared on the wall. In Daniel 5, Daniel explains the message God gives Belshazzar: his days are numbered, he has been weighed and found lacking, and his kingdom is about to fall. This message from Thriving in Babylon looks at pride, judgment, living set apart for God, and the danger of hearing the truth without responding to it. But the story doesn't end with judgment. The same hand that wrote the warning points us toward the salvation God offers through Jesus. Key Insights: Pride can make us feel secure when we're anything but secure. Belshazzar was partying while an army surrounded Babylon. His confidence in what he had built blinded him to what was actually happening around him. Our lives are meant to be set apart for God. The temple vessels in Daniel 5 point toward a New Testament reality: followers of Jesus belong to God. That should shape what we do with our bodies, minds, priorities, and choices. Build the kind of faith people recognize before the crisis arrives. When no one could understand the writing, the queen immediately remembered Daniel as someone who carried the wisdom of God. His reputation had been built through decades of consistent faithfulness. Knowing the truth carries responsibility. Belshazzar knew Nebuchadnezzar's story and what God had done, yet he chose not to humble himself. The sermon challenges us not simply to hear the gospel repeatedly, but to respond to it. The warning of judgment comes with an invitation to grace. Daniel 5 is sobering, but the message ultimately points to Jesus. Our days are numbered, but God has already offered forgiveness, freedom, life, and salvation through Christ.
