America can learn from Israel's successes and its mistakes. Israel was established as a socialist country by secular Zonists, and the homegrown leftist secular radicals in the United States are very similar as we saw during the George Floyd riots. David Rubin has personal experience as he and his son were both wounded in a terrorist attack, and out of that trauma he founded The Shiloh Israel Children's Fund which combines therapy with education to help children heal emotionally from trauma.

Fund conversations that matter: donate.accessmore.com Vote HERE for Podcast of the Year During today's conversation on Back Porch Theology we're going to peruse a parable about 10 Bridesmaids that Jesus taught on the Mount of Olives – that beautiful hill overlooking Jerusalem - during a series of messages called The Olivet Discourse, which He preached just prior to the first Easter. And while this symbolic tale is set in the context of a wedding party, it's more of a warning than a warm and fuzzy love story so it's important to note that our Savior was only talking to His disciples when He shared this sober, eschatological story. This conversation takes place in an intimate family meeting Jesus has with the Twelve less than a week before His crucifixion and resurrection. Only a few days before Peter, James, and John will mirror the exact same unprepared posture depicted by the bevy of sleeping beauties when they fall asleep in the Garden of Gethsemane, even after Jesus implored them to stay awake for His sake. Remember, our Redeemer didn't just save us from, He saved us for. For sharing the Living Hope of the Gospel to the image-bearers we have the privilege of rubbing shoulders with because one day those precious people who don't yet have a real relationship with Jesus will run out of days to run into His outstretched arms. Today's podcast is about being both compassionate and ready for our divine Bridegroom's return, so please grab a ginormous cup of coffee and your Bible – unless you're cutting up potatoes for a crawfish boil, of course – and come hang out on the porch with us!

Over the past few weeks, wildfires have scorched over 1,800 square miles of land across North West America and are still going strong. Dr Mike Flannigan, professor at the Department of Renewable Resources at the University of Alberta, talks to Roland about the weather patterns and record-breaking heat causing the devastating flames. On the other side of the world, in Zambia, Dr Edgar Simulundu has been finding out why some humans attract mosquitoes more than others, and how we can use this to tackle the malaria epidemic. Also this week, Professor Novel Chegou, lead investigator at Stellenbosch University Immunology Research Group, has been awarded the 2022 Africa Prize for his innovative method for quickly diagnosing tuberculosis. And we visit the Royal Society for a very different reason.

Dismantling our slave chains means being able to discern truth from falsehood. Refusing to be pawns comes from embracing knowledge. Wisdom and reason were once considered an elite skill. Ignorance is a cloak used to cover crimes. Your mind, heart and soul serves as a shadow. It's too often repeated, but the truth will set you free. Our deepest fears are where courage is born. Once considered a weakness, our emotions are really possible strengths. Allowing ourselves to feel. Tips on weathering this storm. From slumber trance to quaking foundations. What does honoring vulnerabilities mean? We can bake the first amendment into our digital library. One bad ass Trojan horse. Brewster Kahle plans how to back up the internet. He who loves knowledge. Digitizing libraries for everyone. Why web archiving meets huge resistance. Copyright law and censorship become true shackles. Liberating ideas with concentrated passion. Universal access allows people to avoid traps. More dangerous than guns. The dedicated Arcadia efforts. We must always see knowledge as a cherished human right, giving fulfillment, harmony and purpose. Without it we perish. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

“Willow's mission is to show that black cats are adorable, fun, and magical and they need to be loved just as much as any other cat.” This episode is sponsored in part by Cats of the Wild Podcast, Doobert.com, and Maddie's Fund. On this episode, Stacy speaks with Linda Malik, author of Willow's Tale, a children's picture book about the adventures of a black cat named Willow. In her discussion with Stacy, Linda describes the inspiration behind this story and why she chose to publish a children's picture book. She discusses the unfair stigma surrounding black cats and the importance of dispelling this fallacy at a young age. Linda talks about Willow's additional projects, including an upcoming second book and an animated series. This animated series was produced by autistic animators (link to prior episode), who she believes are similarly unfairly stigmatized. Linda strongly encourages anyone looking to adopt to consider black cats. To learn more about Linda's work and Willow's Tale, visit her website or Instagram.

Fund conversations that matter: donate.accessmore.com Have you ever felt like you have anxiety but don't know how to reduce its presence in the moments when it's overwhelming you? If so, you are not alone and in today's episode Quinn teaches listeners that there is hope for utilizing your body to help calm and ground yourself in those anxious moments. In the episode, Quinn teaches listeners: One thought that is important for fighting back against anxiety Three senses you can focus on to ground yourself in an anxious moment One physical moment you can engage in to release dopamine in the brain Mind Renewal Tip: Anxiety often comes from feeling like you don't know your purpose or believing that having anxiety has become your only purpose. But as believers, we have the hope that our purpose is so much greater than our circumstances. Scripture Renewal Tip: If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. 1 Corinthians 13: 1-3 Resources: hubermanlab.com caltech.edu Social Isolation Transforms the Brain

Fund conversations that matter: donate.accessmore.com This week on the Max Lucado Encouraging Word podcast, we're continuing our Come Thirsty Series. You know it's important to stay hydrated, don't you? We're coming up on summer, and here in South Texas, that means brutally hot days are around the corner. Down here, if you don't drink enough water, your body will suffer. The same is true of your soul. It needs to be hydrated. Jesus does for your soul what water does for your body – come in, invade every little part, and give you what you need to live.

Fund conversations that matter: donate.accessmore.com Vote HERE for Podcast of the Year Today's conversation on Back Porch Theology is going to be a little more animated than usual because we had the pure joy of recording it with a redemptively rowdy sisterhood of Jesus-loving chicks from 46 states & three countries at our recent Kerygma Summit here in Franklin, TN! And it was especially fitting to have this conversation in the middle of a cohesive community of ministry leaders from almost every stream of Christianity because we hurdled over the wee fences of our doctrinal differences and got real and raw about the damage caused by disunity and denominational tribalism within the Body of Christ. Our biblical theology must be reflected by compassionate sociology y'all or our proclamations of faith sound like discordant noise to the world around us. Theologian Francis Schaeffer underscored how believers must pair kindness and humility with a biblical worldview when he wrote, “Biblical orthodoxy without compassion is surely the ugliest thing in the world.” Ancient church father Augustine expressed the same theme beautifully when he wrote, “In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity.” And our Savior said it best in Mark's gospel account: For the one who is not against us is for us. For truly, I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ will by no means lose his reward. Today's podcast is kind of like spiritual wasabi, it has the potential to cleanse the palate of your heart, but it's got some bite to it, too! So please grab a cup of coffee and your Bible - unless you're vacuuming pet hair out of your couch cushions, of course – and come hang out on the porch with Alli, Belle, Dr. Howard, and me!

Lindsay Lovell had an explosive, successful start in real estate investing. In just the first 18 months, Lindsay scaled from zero to 36 doors, reaching her goal of financial freedom along the way. She started with a focus on the BRRRR method and then quickly expanded into flips, STRs, joint ventures, and passive investments. Now, only two years later, her portfolio consists of 57 long-term rentals, 15 short-term rentals, and LP in 2 mobile home park syndications. Scaling this quickly involved leveraging various creative financing strategies, including hard money loans, tapping into equity from BRRRRs, forming relationships with local banks, and even utilizing a self-directed IRA and self-directed Roth IRA. With her portfolio spanning across multiple states, Lindsay has developed the skills to build teams and get traction quickly, allowing her to be successful investing in differing markets. Lindsay recently co-founded G-VI Capital Management, LLC, which has over $15M in assets within three funds under management. The unique opportunity that G-VI Capital Management offers to investors is access to all the benefits of investing in various markets, with a blend of vacation rentals and long-term rentals, without any of the workloads it takes to run rentals successfully. Additionally, Lindsay co-founded Wanderlust Stays, a co-hosting/vacation rental management company that oversees properties across the country. www.instagram.com/lindsayzanelovell www.facebook.com/lindsayzanelovell Watch Mike's free hotel case study at www.strsecrets.com/hotels.

We all have days where we just feel just feel like shit. Maybe you are a little sick or under the weather or you're straight bummed out or in a bad headspace or just low on energy… how do you handle it?  I think there are so many ways to handle times when you feel crappy, and turn it into a win. In this episode, I'm sharing lots of ideas of how to turn a wasted day in to a winning day.  So many options - lean into whatever feels best to get you  Some days we have 100% energy and effort and happy headspace - and other days we have like 1% for whatever reason. Rather than label those days as “bad days” and going down a spiral and making it worse- let's be strategic about it and figure out… what's my best approach here? What's the best way to handle this- because we know the other way to the other side is to get through it.  Listen to this today and then again when you're having one of those days… together, we will turn it around.  Let's go!  Lindsay talks about these ways to handle it: -Call it a day on the issue and don't overthink it  -Do the best you can with the cards you're dealt -Hibernate and have some alone time! -Get outside and change your headspace  -Don't label the day as good or bad… you find what you're looking for!  David Goggins style -  -Embrace discomfort - when you're having a tough day, it's easy to want to escape and numb or avoid the pain.  David Goggins style is to lean into the discomfort and push through.  Maybe it's a hard workout or a tough challenge at work or face a tough conversation head on.  -Use positive self talk - reframe your mind - rest  -Embrace the suck- tough times make you stronger and more resilient in life  Brene Brown style- -Practice self-compassion- talk to yourself like you would a good friend -Have empathy - try to put yourself in other peoples shoes - if that's mainly what's bumming you out  -Get support- from people who love you  -Practice gratitude - focus on things you are grateful for and realize it could be worse -Fund meaning in the struggle - the hardest times of our lives and bring the most growth and transformation. When you're having one of those days, try to find meaning in the struggle and see it as opportunity for growth and learning.  The hardest times can help us become strong and more resilient and more compassionate. CHEERS to turning SHITTY days into WINNING days!!

Enjoy!     Episode 4: From The Extreme to The Mainstream In the 1970s, talk radio was hitting its stride, with hosts and listeners from all political persuasions. But the radio dial was about to change forever. Community needs assessments, requirements to offer public service programs and multiple perspectives, and limits on how many stations a single company could own were all eradicated. Technological and legal changes would consolidate the radio industry exponentially, allowing conservative talk radio hosts like Rush Limbaugh to take over the airwaves. In this episode, we look at radio's last four decades to understand how we got to where we are today, and how conservative talk radio came to dominate a medium that once thrived on varied viewpoints.   The Divided Dial is hosted by journalist and Fulbright Fellow Katie Thornton.

Tune in to hear how The Avengers lead to this week's guest accepting his claim to fame as “The Broadway Trainer.” We even get a few off-the-cuff renditions of Shut the Eff Up Alan! Joe Rosko is the founder of Built For The Stage, Broadway's #1 online fitness training platform, and its accompanying podcast on Broadway Podcast Network (with over 200 episodes to date!). In the past six years, Built For The Stage has trained clients in over 50 Broadway shows and on international stages around the globe. BFTS clients can currently be seen in such Tony-nominated and Tony-winning shows as “Some Like It Hot,” “& Juliet,” “New York, New York,” “Wicked” and “Hamilton." Joe has some terrific fitness and overall wellness tips about preparing for this busy and exciting time leading up to Broadway's Biggest Night. Joe began his professional career as a trainer and actor at the exact same time in 2007. Since then, it has been his mission to build a bridge between the worlds of fitness and theatre. Joe believed that actors were truly professional athletes but didn't feel as though the theatre community was equipped with the proper resources to train like said athletes. This realization led to the creation of Built for the Stage. Joe and his coaches pride themselves on having the unique abilities to continue a performer's fitness progress while being in or out of a show. Connect with Joe on his website, TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram. Make sure to follow this podcast everywhere you find podcasts, leave a rating and a review, and slip into our Instagram DMs at @wasitchance. More about Heather via @vickeryandco on Instagram, @Braveheather on TikTok, and listen to The Brave Files More about Alan via @theatre_podcast on Instagram and listen to The Theatre Podcast with Alan Seales EPISODE TAKEAWAYS Broadway performers are the Olympians of theater. It's important to challenge your body in different ways to protect it during such rigorous work as eight shows a week. How the hell did Joe get here? It was the perfect storm of three specific things:  He started playing sports at the age of 4 A middle school girlfriend talked him into trying out for the school play An entrepreneurial spirit. Joe studied theater in college and continued to do both theater and sports. While performing in school shows he was also playing football which is a little nuts, if you ask us. Built for the Stage really started in college when he started training fellow actors at the age of 18. Although his fellow athletes gave him a little shit, they were always supportive and sat in the front row when he did a show. Everything in life is mental. It's all about what you decide to make it. After college training was a “survival” job. He discovered Crossfit in NYC and ended up managing a gym which led to early virtual training. In order to be accessible to Actors, no matter their work status, all of Built for the Stage's programs have always been virtual. During the pandemic, Joe lowered the cost of the Built for the Stage app and donated proceeds to the Actor's Fund. While it may look like it's all rainbows and butterflies it's not. Joe works countless hours, drives and flies thousands of miles, and puts his whole heart and soul into the work. Although Joe does have a bit of a Midas touch, he embraces failure with the mindset of “never be afraid to ask” and this has helped lead to his massive success. Having a really great niche is game-changing! Built for the Stage Podcast on BPN. Joe is a big believer in the power of no. Stay focused and don't say yes to things that don't serve you.

“It's empowering to realize that you can actually make a difference just by making different choices in the things that you do every day.” This episode is sponsored in part by Cats of the Wild Podcast, Doobert.com, and Maddie's Fund. On this episode, Stacy chats with Ashley Byrne, Associate Director of Campaigns for PETA. PETA, short for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, is the largest animal rights organization in the world with more than 9 million members and supporters globally. In her discussion with Stacy, Ashley explains how PETA's philosophy centers on the notion that animals exist for their own purposes, not for human purposes. She describes some of PETA's recent campaigns, which strive to change the way people think about animals. Ashley also talks about PETA's Mobile Clinic, its 24-hour cruelty hotline, and Beauty Without Bunnies, a searchable database of companies that don't test on animals. She stresses the importance of knowing where your products come from. Additionally, Ashley describes PETA's stance on TNR and encourages pet lovers to adopt their pets from shelters rather than buy them from breeders. To learn more about PETA, visit their website.

Fund conversations that matter: donate.accessmore.comMoms are special, aren't they? That's exactly what we're talking about on this week's episode of the Max Lucado Encouraging Word Podcast. If you've ever felt cared for or protected, chances are good a mom had something to do with it. Thank God for moms. Or maybe that doesn't feel so true for you. On a day when many people celebrate the mom they love or the mom they love being, we know others wait eagerly for the holiday to pass. But no matter what feelings such days stir in you, may I remind you of God's great motherly love for you? His affection for you is so deep; he does not forget you. Drink in the promise from Isaiah chapter 49: “I have engraved?you on the palms of my hands."

Fund conversations that matter: donate.accessmore.com During today's conversation on Back Porch Theology – the final of three podcasts we recorded live in Israel – we're exposing some stuff to the light that the enemy of our souls would rather us keep hidden because he has a better chance of tormenting us in the dark. Before we go any further, I'd like to encourage you to make sure there aren't any kiddos listening today because this podcast includes a very vulnerable, ultimately triumphant testimony that includes trauma which might be a bit heavy for little hearts. The catalyst for this bondage-breaking theme was a site we explored in the Golan Heights called Caesarea Philippi – not to be confused with Caesarea By the Sea which we talked about last week. Although, Caesarea Philippi's beauty is water-based as well because it sits at the foot of Mount Hermon, so the abundance of snow run-off combined with a large spring called Banias makes it a lush green oasis of flora and fauna. But there's also a big, dark cave carved into the hillside at Caesarea Philippi that was the center of pagan worship in ancient times. Sacrifices were often cast into that cave as offerings to the false god Pan, whom you may remember from Greek mythology as the half-man/half-goat playing a flute and flirting with nymphs. In light of Pan's secular popularity, it's especially fitting that Caesarea Philippi is also the place where Jesus asked Peter, “Who do you say that I am?” to which Peter confessed that He was the Messiah. The Christ. The King of all kings who would conquer fear and death once and for all. If you struggle with some level of anxiety, our sincere hope and prayer is that God will use today's conversation to ease your burden. Your precious shoulders weren't shaped to carry that crushing load. Paul says it best at the beginning of Galatians 5: It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. So please grab a cup of coffee and your Bible – unless you're re-staining your deck, of course – and come hang out on the porch with us!
