Welcome Judge Cohen: A Fresh Perspective on Family CourtJoin Bill Eddy and Megan Hunter as they welcome retired Judge Bruce R. Cohen to the High Conflict Institute team. This episode explores the human side of family court proceedings through Judge Cohen's unique lens, developed over 24 years as a family law attorney and nearly 20 years on the bench in Arizona's Superior Court.Understanding Best Interests and Judicial PerspectiveJudge Cohen shares invaluable insights about the concept of "best interests of the child" and how it's applied in family court. He explains how the legal framework has evolved beyond gender preferences to focus on meeting children's specific needs. Through personal anecdotes, including the transformative "Bonnie story," Judge Cohen illustrates how maintaining presence and recognizing humanity in each case leads to better outcomes.Breaking Down Family Court SuccessThe discussion delves into practical advice for presenting cases effectively in family court. Rather than chronological presentations or attempts to prove who's "right," success comes from focusing on children's needs and each parent's ability to meet them. Bill and Megan explore with Judge Cohen how understanding jurisdictional factors and avoiding assumptions about bias can strengthen case presentations.Questions we answer in this episode:How do judges determine what's truly in a child's best interests?What factors should parents focus on when presenting their case?How has gender bias evolved in family court?What makes a case "high conflict"?How can parents shift focus from being right to getting it right?Key Takeaways:Focus on children's needs and your ability to meet them rather than chronological eventsPresent yourself authentically rather than assuming judicial biasUnderstand your jurisdiction's specific factors for determining best interestsRecognize that credibility increases when acknowledging both strengths and weaknessesSuccess comes from focusing on future solutions rather than past grievancesThis episode offers unique insights from both sides of the bench, providing valuable perspective for anyone navigating family court. Judge Cohen's practical wisdom, combined with Bill and Megan's expertise, creates an essential resource for understanding how to approach family court proceedings effectively.Links & Other NotesJUDGE BRUCE R.

Marriage and family are institutions that are pre-political, meaning they may be at the forefront of divisive political discussions and debates, but they originated in the mind of our Creator and were established by him with the creation of Adam and Eve and the command to be fruitful and multiply. In other words, marriage and family are God's good idea and design. One of the areas of debate today regarding our families is concerning gender confusion, and whether or not parents have the right to teach and hold their children to the biblical design as male and female, especially in a school setting. The ERLC has written a white paper detailing the biblical and theological foundations for parental rights. We have also joined briefs in cases about parental rights, affirming before courts what Southern Baptists have affirmed: that parents have a God-given responsibility to raise their children according to a biblical worldview without interference from the government. On today's episode, you'll hear from two parents about raising our children in a sexually confused culture and exercising our parental rights, especially as we send them to school. Krissie Inserra is a pastor's wife, mom, and active member in her local church and community. She has served in pregnancy resource centers and has authored numerous articles. Dr. Benjamin Quinn is a husband, dad, and an ERLC research fellow. He is also assistant professor of Theology and History of Ideas and the director of L. Russ Bush Center for Faith and Culture at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. He received his B.A. from Union University, his M.Div. and Th.M. from Southeastern, and his Ph.D. from University of Bristol in the United Kingdom.

Today's podcast: Immigration. Will be, or already is, a major issue in developing provincial elections and the upcoming federal election. An immigration lawyer wrote to me: "our system was working just fine. We based it on getting the top human capital possible. Then came Justin Trudeau, who switched it to get the most votes possible." - Quebec and Ontario want asylum seekers resettled more equally across Canada which Ottawa supports, but B.C. Is already pushing back. Guest: Richard Kurland. Immigration lawyer who has advised both the federal and Quebec governments on immigation policies. Based in Vancouver.

Guest: Jason Kenney, Former Premier of Alberta and federal immigration minister We are very close to the 8th anniversary of the introduction of a national carbon tax to Canada and Canadian.s As premiers before and during provincial elections, as well as the dominant national polling leading Conservative Party of Canada and its leader Pierre Poilievre are exercising various means of exiting charging a carbon tax to Canadians and the tax is poised to play a major role in the upcoming federal election we return to the introduction of the national carbon tax by PM Justin Trudeau to Canada's premiers in 2016. After Trudeau finished his sales pitch, then Saskatchewan premier Brad Wall issued his famous three word assessment, "what's the point?" Shortly afterward, as the federal and provincial environment ministers met concerning the carbon tax, Saskatchewan, Newfoundland and Labrador and Nova Scotia's ministers walked out of the meeting. Guest: Brad Wall. Former Premier of Saskatchewan Teen gender issues and gender dysphoria. While provinces (Saskatchewan and New Brunswick took the lead) passed legislation enshrining parental rights on such decisions, in Switzerland a teen is being removed from her parents care because of their objection to puberty blockers. Is Canada and cases such as this next? The main theme has become respecting the right of a young child, deemed mature by the medical profession, to make potentially lie-altering medical choices, but not deemed sufficiently mature to make decisions to drive until age 16, or smoke or drink until age of majority. A major election issue in both Saskatchewan and New Brunswick, but what about B.C.? And what about your child? Guest: Scott Taylor.

In recent years, feminist foreign policy has emerged as a transformative approach to international relations, focusing on the promotion of gender equality, human rights, and inclusive governance on the global stage. One of the key drivers of feminist foreign policy is its ability to reshape the way states interact with one another. Unlike traditional policies that often prioritize military strength or economic power, feminist foreign policy places emphasis on cooperation, dialogue, and addressing the root causes of conflict—such as inequality and exclusion. In this episode, Juliana Rubio sits down with Ambassador Arlene B. Tickner, Colombia's Ambassador At-Large for Gender Issues and Feminist Global Policy. Together, they discuss the origins and implementation of Colombia's feminist foreign policy agenda. They also analyze how Colombia's approach to human security represents an important counter-narrative to mano dura hardline security policies in the region.

Okay, so the new memoir "Splinters" wasn't our favorite book ever, and sometimes it downright irritated us, but our investigation into what worked (and what didn't!) makes for a fascinating conversation about the nature of memoir and new trends in the genre, from "woe is me" themes to shameless self-exposure which apparently appeals to voyeuristic readers. John Julius Reel and Jennifer discuss the author, Leslie Jamison, the buzz surrounding this book, and their critiques and suggestions for what would have made this book better. Opinionated, passionate, and willing to be harsh, John and Jennifer defend their positions but acknowledge that their own perspective and age might color their view of this very contemporary memoir.

2024-03-17 -Brady Cone -"Gender Issues and Truth" by Imperial Berean
First ladies are among the most powerful advisers in any White House and Jill Biden is no exception. On this episode of Deep Dive, host and Playbook co-author Ryan Lizza is joined by NYT White House correspondent Katie Rogers, who recently published “American Woman: The Transformation of the Modern First Lady, from Hillary Clinton to Jill Biden,” an authoritative account of how this century's first ladies have influenced the nation. Ryan and Katie discuss Jill Biden and Melania Trump's roles in staffing, campaigning, and policy decisions; sensitive items from their times in the White House, such as Melania and Donald's prenup; and whether or not Jill Biden has ever forgiven Kamala Harris for what she said about Joe in 2020. Additionally, Katie opened up about the time her editors at the New York Times sent her to Arkansas and forced her to report a story about the Bidens that she didn't want to cover — and how it ended up forcing Jill and Joe to confront an uncomfortable truth about their family. Ryan Lizza is a Playbook co-author for POLITICO. Katie Rogers is a White House correspondent for The New York Times. Kara Tabor is a producer for POLITICO audio. Alex Keeney is a senior producer for POLITICO audio.
As the mother of a son, I understand the challenges of raising boys to become good and godly men. When my son was young, I was always second guessing myself and wishing I had a blueprint to help me, and my husband know the best way to lead him down the right path towards manhood. This episode is a resource I wish was available then. My guests today, Erin and Jason Davis, parents of four boys themselves, have recently released their book, Lies Boys Believe: And the Epic Quest for Truth. In this episode they share why giving our boys a foundation based on truth will help them navigate our difficult culture, how we should encourage our sons to have hearts that please God, not just behave in a way they won't get caught, as well as developing a no-secrets family. I also asked several moms of boys if they had questions for the Davis's and they had some great ones! Erin and Jason were so gracious to answer as many as they could and so this episode is a little longer than most. But I know you're probably struggling with some of these same questions, so I wanted to make sure we addressed them. They have so many practical ideas on how to connect with boys that I know you're going to come away from this episode better equipped and more confident to be the best boy parent you can be.

Building Trauma Informed Workplaces with Stephanie Lemek, Founder- The Wounded Workforce
Join our host and special guest, DEI expert and Speaker, D'Janae Robinson as we explore the final principle of trauma informed workplaces- Cultural, Historical, and Gender Issues.
We recently passed the 34th anniversary of the École Polytechnique anti-feminist shootings. The sad thing is that this horrendous crime isn't a thing of the past. From a stabbing attack on a Gender Issues course at the University of Waterloo in June, to the mass shooting at the University of Nevada, violence against academics is a serious concern. And while these are just two prominent examples of physical violence, we know of so many scholars who are victims of persistent cases of doxing, cyber harassment, and cyber bullying. This week, we continue our conversation about safety on university campuses. Joining us is Dr. Fady Shanouda, an Assistant Professor at the Feminist Institute of Social Transformation at Carleton University. He spoke to Ethel about the frustrating journey he was forced to take to seek safety after becoming the target of vitriolic, hateful cyber harassment last summer. We ask: What do we do when institutions do not have an organized response in the face of such violence? What are the different parts of the institution that have competing agendas, agendas which may actually paradoxically lead them to work against the interests of those facing violence? And what does a safe university look like? Thanks for listening! Get more information, support the show, and read all the transcripts at academicaunties.com.

Welcome to Episode 153 of the Being Human Podcast: How to Talk About Gender Issues How do we talk about gender issues to people who don't necessarily share the same views? How can we make sense of the gender ideologies and confusion so prevalent in our culture today? In this week's episode, Dr. Greg shares important principles to remember when engaging others in conversation on this sensitive topic. Discussed in the episode: How do we communicate a Catholic perspective on gender ideology to those who may not share the same perspective? The meaning and importance of owning our mistakes as a Church; Entering into relationship with another as a necessary prerequisite to evangelizing with love; Why it's essential to recognize the distinction between gender stereotypes and gender identity; The importance of understanding that each person has different parts and experiences within themselves; How communion can be possible in the midst of varying parts and perspectives; Seeing the developmental stages starting from conception as a gradual becoming more of who God calls us to be; Why modeling from the same-sex parent and complementarity from the opposite-sex parent significantly impacts the formation of a child's identity.

Imagine being trapped in an identity that isn't your own, a child grappling with gender confusion, or an adolescent considering transition. This is the reality for many people today, and it's a struggle Kathy Grace Duncan, who once identified as a male, is intimately familiar with. This episode dives into Kathy's journey, from living as a man to rediscovering her identity as a woman, exploring the complexities of gender confusion and the transformation inspired by her encounter with the Holy Spirit. In this conversation host Helen Todd and Kathy Grace Duncan discuss how the gender issues begin in early adulthood, the impact medical procedures to change gender could have on a person's life, and the effective ways for the church to reach the people struggling with gender identity and sexual orientation. At the end, they spotlight the Portland Fellowship program, a faith-based transitional program dedicated to those wrestling with their gender identity or sexuality. Kathy shares the significance of her five-year journey and how surrendering to God played a pivotal role in her transformation.

“I remember about the rabbits, George.”Capturing Steinbeck and Americana on the Big ScreenHaving been writing novels for 10 years, it made sense that eventually, Hollywood would turn to John Steinbeck's novels as a source for the silver screen. The first film to make the transition was Of Mice and Men, a novella he originally wrote as a ‘playable novel' and then as a play itself. To that end, it was already the perfect size for adapting. And to that end, the film works just as well as the story. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue our series on 1940 Academy Award Best Picture nominees with a conversation about Lewis Milestone's 1939 film Of Mice and Men.Here's a hint at what we talk about.For a relatively simple story, a lot happens and the story works through a variety of topics. How does the story handle a character with an intellectual disability and what does it say about those who take care of others, whether it's this character or an aging dog? What about race relations? (To that end, it may be less pointed than the book but the film still feels like it handles race better than Gone With The Wind does.) The script changes how Mae – the only female character in the book and the only one with any real presence in the film – fits into the story. Here, we get a sense of the tragedy of this character, which does a lot to paint the gender differences in this place at this time. There's also the moralistic, religious, and humanistic angles we discuss. The casting is fantastic. Burgess Meredith and Lon Chaney, Jr. play our two leads and deliver complex, compassionate performances that are the beating heart of this film. Betty Field plays Mae and rounds the character out with resonance and depth that never were on Steinbeck's pages, even if possibly inferred. The rest of the cast fits impeccably into their roles. Lewis Milestone directs and handles the story effectively and efficiently. And having Aaron Copeland score the film only enhances its feel of Americana.This film stands strong as a version of this film that's worth remembering. It's definitely one of the best films of the year and certainly worthy of its Best Picture nomination. We have a great time talking about it, so check it out then tune in.
