It's hard to listen to Mark Schultz greatest hits and not shed a tear. No one tells stories through song quite like him. This is easily one of my favorite conversation on the Pure Joy podcast this season. Mark has a piano in front of him and several times, plays pieces of his songs as he unveils the real life stories behind them. From the elderly couple who inspired "Walking Her Home" to the student facing health struggle that "He's My Son" is about we see how his youth ministry job actually fueled his music. Mark shares why he almost quit and went home before he had his big break and how his heart for adoption led to him adopting 2 girls later in life.
After losing all 3 branches of power in 2024, progressive Democrats are hungry for the opportunity to reshape the party along ideological, generational and other factional lines in 2026. Fueled by an increasing anger among Democratic voters and a splintered Republican base, the possibility of a Democratic-controlled house looks increasingly likely for 2027. How might that thwart the success of President Donald Trump's second half agenda? USA TODAY Chief Political Correspondent Phillip M. Bailey joins The Excerpt to talk about the new political calculus in Washington.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Accidental Diplomat: Robert Stryk and the New Zealand Connection: Colleague Kenneth P. Vogel explains that Robert Stryk's rise in the lobbying world was fueled by serendipity and bold bluffs, exemplified by a chance encounter with a New Zealand diplomat at a cafe; the diplomat revealed that New Zealand, having prepared for a Clinton victory, had no contacts within the incoming Trump team and could not arrange a congratulatory call between their Prime Minister and the President-elect, and Stryk, leveraging a connection to a former Trump campaign field director, provided a phone number that successfully connected the embassy to Trump's team, establishing his credibility and launching his career in high-stakes foreign lobbying. 1980

This week, we review Rocky IV (1985), Sylvester Stallone's Cold War-era sports drama and the most gloriously over-the-top entry in the Rocky franchise. Stallone returns as the iconic underdog Rocky Balboa, who steps into the ring against Ivan Drago, a seemingly unstoppable Soviet powerhouse played by Dolph Lundgren.Fueled by vengeance, patriotism, and a synth-heavy soundtrack, this film pits East vs. West in a boxing match that's less about sport and more about global stakes. With a training montage for the ages and a robot butler to boot, Rocky IV punches hard on themes of grief, redemption, and international rivalry.Is it about throwing hands or throwing in the towel on diplomacy?

Howard's sick, JS is battling a "pine cone-flavored" IPA, and the garage is packed with junk! Welcome to Episode 240, where the chaos is strong and the drinks are... debatable. The absolute must-see moment of the episode is JS's impromptu "rage-fueled" tour of his massive, cluttered garage. What's in there? Everything from old water coolers and car seats to scrap metal and a porta-potty—a display so bizarre that Mark Kidder debates whether he is watching “Storage Wars” or "Hoarders!" But the tasting segment leads to an unthinkable reaction. After struggling with an awful local IPA that JS claims tastes like a "pine cone," he decides he can't take another sip. Tune in to see the shocking, unprecedented way he chooses to end his relationship with one of the worst beers ever featured on the show! Was it the worst beer we've ever had on the show? Plus, we dive into two unbelievable news stories: The Taco Bell Ultra Marathon: An insane 31-mile race where runners are required to stop and eat Chalupa Supremes and Burrito Supremes along the way. The Lego Theft Ring: How police busted a massive retail theft operation focused on stealing and reselling thousands of highly collectible Lego minifigs. We wrap up with some much-needed "Dad Jokes of the Week" and serious advice on financial health and pursuing personal passions.

Around the country, a pervasive question being asked: How can I afford my prescription drugs? The high cost of those medications, particularly very expensive drugs to treat serious diseases like multiple sclerosis and cystic fibrosis, have fueled a nationwide business in which insurance programs are using companies called “alternative funding programs” or AFPs that promise to get these medications at little or no cost to the patient. “RiskyRX,” a CNBC investigation, found AFPs are becoming more pervasive around the country as drug costs skyrocket.CNBC submitted nearly 100 public records requests and sorted through more than 10,000 pages of contracts, emails, invoices and complaints that show these companies have penetrated the country's health-care system through private employers, cities, counties, school districts and unions. In some cases, employers require their staff to use an AFP. CNBC traced the trail of medications from abroad to the U.S. via a supply chain that's not authorized by the pharmaceutical companies that manufacture the medications. The investigation features an exclusive interview with a Department Of Homeland Security official who says these programs should be shut down because they're illegal and post a serious safety risk to patients. A former high-ranking FDA official, speaking out for the first time, says these programs typically don't disclose the risks to patients. The AFPs strongly defend their business practices as both legal and safe and say their businesses are an antidote to high prescription drug prices. Those prices, across all drugs, in the U.S. are nearly three times as much, on average, as those in other high-income countries, according to a 2024 report by Rand, a nonprofit, nonpartisan research organization.

Look kids, this is where the rubber meets the road. It's Black Friday. It's Rivalry Week. It's the HyVee Heroes Trophy. Dammit, I hate that trophy. I hate Io_a. I'm developing a healthy distrust of holidays in general, and you edge lords of the internet are starting to win me over to your side in this annual campaign of not only self-loathing, but a deep and perennial lack of enthusiasm about our so-called "beloved" Cornhuskers. Why don't we kick field goals to take early points? Why do we run the ball up the middle five godforsaken times in a row inside the opponents' ten yard line? Why can't we have nice things? And why is it that each Black Friday we have this corporate buffoonery where we have to endure a rock fight with a joke program with even worse fans who are so incompetent they didn't even know they had a Heisman Trophy winner, and their joke of a stadium is named after him?!? I mean seriously, Kinnick Stadium. Their boring brand of football has elevated them to the peak of mediocrity. "They are who we thought they are." And they'll never be anything greater. It's Thanksgiving Eve. It's Turkey Before Turkey. To hell with Io_a. Let's drink.

In this episode, Jacob analyzes how conspiracy theory culture has grown across the political spectrum, using the recent Dave Smith vs. Seth Dillon exchange on Piers Morgan as a launchpad. Jacob reflects on the tension Christians face in a world overwhelmed by information, propaganda, and the rapid spread of mistrust toward institutions. Looking closely at foreign policy failures, government deception, and cultural tribalism, he explains why skepticism can be healthy — yet warns against replacing one blind trust with another. The conversation also explores how the rise of AI, deepfakes, and hyperpolarized online spaces makes discerning truth harder than ever, especially for Christians seeking to live faithfully in an empire of disinformation.Jacob then addresses how blowback, identity politics, and a broken media environment fuel radicalization on the right. Using examples like Nick Fuentes, Israel-Palestine debates, and reactions to Charlie Kirk's death, he explains how dishonest narratives — whether from governments, commentators, or influencers — strengthen the worst impulses in conspiracy theory culture. Instead of demonizing people or censoring them, Jacob argues for honest dialogue, principled skepticism, and Christian integrity. The episode closes with a call for the church to resist grievance-based politics and pursue truth, peace, and a kingdom-centered worldview in the midst of cultural chaos.Full Episode Notes at BiblicalAnarchyPodcast.comThe Biblical Anarchy Podcast is part of the Christians For Liberty Network, a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute.

Welcome back to Fueled Gymnast Fall, a podcast series on what you need to know about fueling your gymnast as we move into this next competitive season. Today, we're tackling a major issue I see EVERY. SINGLE. YEAR: the mid-season implosion. A lot of gymnasts start the season in one of two places: ✔️ Looking strong but already running on fumes, or ✔️ Already dealing with nagging injuries, chronic fatigue, or inconsistent training.By January or February, the wheels start to fall off. And parents are left wondering, “How did we get here again?”A mid-season implosion isn't random.

This exploration of John 14:15-31 confronts us with a challenging truth: love isn't proven by our words or feelings, but by our actions. When Jesus says 'If you love me, you will keep my commandments,' He's not placing an impossible burden on our shoulders—He's defining love the way God defines it. The beauty of this passage is that Jesus never commands without providing what He commands. We can't obey alone, and we were never meant to. The Helper, the Holy Spirit, comes alongside us as the Spirit of Truth, dwelling within us forever, empowering the very obedience Jesus calls us to. This isn't about white-knuckling our way through the Christian life or collapsing under guilt. It's about understanding that obedience flows from union with Christ. We're not orphans left to figure things out on our own. Christ lives in us, the Father makes His home with us, and the Spirit illuminates Scripture and brings Jesus' words to remembrance exactly when we need them most. The peace Jesus offers isn't the world's temporary distraction from fear—it's His own peace, the peace that carried Him to the cross. When we face anxiety, guilt, or overwhelming circumstances, the Spirit whispers back the very promises we thought we'd forgotten. This is why we saturate ourselves in Scripture: so the Spirit has material to work with when storms come. We obey because He obeyed. We love because He loved. And we stand because He stood in our place.

After starting as a barista in 1996 to becoming the co-founder, owner, and Co-CEO of Biggby Coffee, this week's guest on Insight Out is Mike McFall, a growth-minded entrepreneur that believes in the power of self-awareness, positivity, and conscious capitalism as the core values of a successful business. His book, Grind: A No-Bullshit Approach to Take Your Business from Concept to Cash Flow, focuses on the importance of revenue and practical ways to build cash flow in a budding company. He also explores his philosophy that business requires us to be aggressive and simultaneously self-aware. In this episode, Mike and I discuss the road to becoming CEO of a successful corporation, why conscious capitalism and company culture are at the core of employee retention, why focus is a critical component in building a business, and more. In this episode, we discuss: The key lessons that sailing around the world at 16 taught Mike (3:40) Mike's journey as a Red Wings fan and the importance of visioning work (5:43) A breakdown of the visualization process (10:06) How Mike was introduced to conscious capitalism and the way it transformed his business (13:10) How Mike became partners with Bob Fish (23:44) The importance of competition in business (27:28) Why self awareness is a critical component of your business (29:43) How to ask for valuable feedback (33:10) The biggest contributor to Biggby Coffee's success (35:41) Mike's advice for aspiring or current business owners (38:26) Why entrepreneurs need to be like the sun (44:30) Mike's approach to fostering a people-first company (48:07) How to develop company culture that respects the employees (51:37) Where to find Mike McFall and his final word of advice (56:35) Notable Quotes: “When you say something enough, you begin to hear yourself say it, other people hear you say it, and they can support you. And it helps to reaffirm that you're on the course to go where you want to go.” – Billy (9:26) “The real root of conscious capitalism is that it's an inclusive environment where you don't make tradeoffs between these different components and that you make decisions that everyone benefits from.” – Mike (20:29) “Your self awareness is the most critical component to the success of your business.” – Mike (30:31) “In the end it's not about revenue. What it's about is it's about improving, and it's an obsession with improvement. And when we obsess with improvement… the revenue generation, the growth, is a subset of the obsession with improvement.” – Mike (42:34) “Leadership is about setting the example and then living within that constantly.” – Mike (47:16) “In the end, people just want to be around other people who they relate to and they feel a connection to as another human being.” (59:19) Resources & Links: Mike McFall LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-biggby Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mikejmcfall Biggby Coffee: https://www.biggby.com/ Billy Samoa Saleebey LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/billysamoa Email: billy@podify.com and saleebey@gmail.com Insight Out Website: https://insightoutshow.com/ This is an encore episode and was originally published on December 30, 2022 Learn more about your ad choices.

"I was prioritizing the general trend toward a carb load, but it really kind of stressed me out in a way that I was a little bit surprised by. But also, we talk about this in the REDs space all the time—having energy is better than having no energy," shares REDs researcher Melissa (Mel) Lodge, whom you may know from following @FED_Collaborative on Instagram. Lodge was an elite track and field athlete who competed collegiately, but hasn't tackled longer distances until now. (She's done some 10Ks, but never raced a half-marathon!) Her REDs and female athlete health reserach, along with the coursework she has completed for both her PhD and her dietetics cirruculum, certainly set her up with an immense fueling and health knowledge base going into this experience. She ran her first marathon at the Wineglass Marathon in October 2025, crossing the finish line in 2:51:45, 3rd female overall and 1st in her age group (25-29). But it wasn't easy! She shares how she structured her training plan while also finishing her dissertation (which she successfuly defeneded just last week), how she fueled, what worked and didn't work for her, what surprised her about the whole process, and why she's not sure she'll do another one...at least not for a while! We wrap things up by exploring a few of the 10 things she wishes more people knew about REDs. So, come for a marathon recap, stay for some hot takes! Follow Mel on IG at @FED_Collaborative.

Did American eugenics really fuel the murderous euthanasia programs of the Nazis? Yes, according to Susanne Paola Antonetta, author of The Devil's Castle, a history of Nazi eugenics and euthanasia. According to Antonetta, pioneering American eugenicists not only influenced Nazi thinking—Hitler himself corresponded with them and praised U.S. sterilization laws in Mein Kampf—but the New York City-based Carnegie Institute proposed gas chambers in 1918 as one solution for dealing with what eugenicists called the ‘hereditarily tainted' population. While Germany's response was uniquely brutal, Antonetta argues that American psychiatric thinking provided the conceptual framework for deciding whose lives had value and whose didn't. Moreover, the notorious Nazi Aktion T4 euthanasia program killed 300,000 people with neuropsychiatric disorders, yet it was never properly prosecuted by the Americans at Nuremberg and remains largely unknown today.1. American Eugenics Provided the Blueprint The U.S. passed sterilization laws in 1907—decades before Germany's 1933 laws. Hitler praised American eugenics in Mein Kampf, American eugenicists taught in Germany, and the Carnegie Institute proposed gas chambers in 1918 for the “hereditarily tainted.” The conceptual architecture was Made in America.2. Action T4 Killed 300,000 and Was Never Prosecuted The Nazi euthanasia program murdered roughly 300,000 people with neuropsychiatric disorders in gas chambers built into asylums. Because Nuremberg only tried international crimes—not crimes against a nation's own citizens—this program escaped proper legal reckoning and remains largely unknown.3. Doctors Could Say No—But Didn't Some asylum doctors, like Carl Kleist, simply refused to participate in T4 and faced no punishment. This makes the complicity of other doctors—many of them idealistic, not monsters—more damning. The system allowed for refusal; most chose collaboration.4. Psychiatry Still Assigns Value to Lives Antonetta argues that psychiatry's troubled legacy persists: rigid diagnostic categories inherited from German psychiatrist Emil Kraepelin, neurotransmitter theories that haven't improved outcomes, and a system that still decides whose consciousness has value. The DSM itself was created by self-described “neo-Kraepelinians.”5. Neurodiversity Is the New Civil Rights Frontier From autism to schizophrenia, our public discourse about neurodiversity remains “relentlessly negative.” As CRISPR and gene editing become reality, Antonetta warns we're facing the same eugenic questions—but now with the tools to act on them. We need more honest and nuanced conversations about different forms of consciousness before we start editing them out.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Tobin stumbles upon a major error from Google's AI at the expense of Leroy, and the gang has way too much with it!
Fueled by passion, Dutch artist Vera Grace is steadily shaping her own space in Amsterdam's scene. Her sound continues to evolve, blending modular synthesis with hypnotic rhythms and deep mental trips that make you lose sense of time. She approaches DJing as a way to create something new through layering, while her productions focus on warped sound design. Her curiosity about modular synthesis opened a new dimension in her work. She started developing a fully live analog set and has recently begun performing with her modular system, constantly pushing her sound forward. Her most recent EPs, What Was Always There and Funktion Over Form, convey a clear essence in her sound. She moves fluidly between broken rhythms, ambient trips, psychedelic textures, and driving 4/4 tracks, all while staying true to the genre's roots. After graduating the Conservatorium of Amsterdam, Vera Grace is steadily forging her place in the scene, with performances at clubs like Radion, Grelle Forelle, Elysia, FVTVR, Tresor, and festivals such as Aquasella, Awakenings and DGTL already under her belt.

PREVIEW Anne Stevenson-Yang focuses on the decline of China's economic miracle, which was fueled by borrowing and falsehoods and is potentially headed toward japanification or worse. The idea that China was continuously rising and overtaking the United States is now largely disregarded. Although some asset investors hold hope that Asia, specifically China, will provide yield, few believe the downturn is temporary. Guest: Anne Stevenson-Yang. 1918 PEKING
