Vokabelkritik ist zu Kriegszeiten das Gebot der Stunde. Ich veröffentliche in unregelmäßigen Abständen eine Sammlung teils verharmlosender, teils lügenhafter Wörter oder Formulierungen, deren Sinn und Funktion es ist, unsere Gesellschaft – uns alle – an das Undenkbare zu gewöhnen und möglichst geräuschlos in Richtung „Kriegstüchtigkeit“ umzukrempeln. Von Leo Ensel. Dieser Beitrag ist auch als Audio-PodcastWeiterlesen

In dieser Podcastfolge lade ich Dich ein, den Blick bewusst nach hinten zu richten – nicht aus Nostalgie, sondern aus tiefer Anerkennung, denn nichts von dem, was wir heute als selbstverständlich erleben, ist selbstverständlich entstanden.Unsere Ahnen sind den Weg vor uns gegangen. Sie haben geforscht, entdeckt, gelitten, gekämpft, getragen, aufgebaut.Und ohne diesen Weg im Gestern gäbe es kein „Heute“.Wir sprechen darüber,warum wir nicht nur unsere Existenz, sondern auch unseren Lebensstandard unseren Ahnen verdanken.wie wir über Generationen hinweg nicht nur Gene, sondern auch Geschichten, Prägungen und Erfahrungen weitertragen.wie wir das Gute unserer Ahnen bewusst annehmen können – und das Schwere bei ihnen lassen dürfen.Diese Folge ist eine Einladung, Frieden mit der Vergangenheit zu schließen.Nicht um Schuld zu relativieren – sondern um Verantwortung zu übernehmen.Denn wir sind die Generation, die alte Kreisläufe beenden und neue Wege für die kommenden Generationen öffnen kann.Gerade rund um die Wintersonnenwende – den Wendepunkt vom Dunkel ins Licht – entsteht ein kraftvoller Raum für genau diese innere Klärung.Eine Folge über Würdigung, Dankbarkeit und die leise, kraftvolle Frage:Was trägst Du weiter – und was darf mit Dir enden?Und wenn Du das Bedürfnis hast, Frieden mit Deinen Ahnen zu schließen und zugleich von ihrer Geschichte den Mehrwert anzunehmen, dann ist mein 3-tägiges Seminar SHIFT YOUR LIFE vielleicht genau das Richtige für Dich:SHIFT YOUR LIFE 2026 – unser 3-tägiges Seminar ist ein Raum für Menschen, die nicht nur verstehen oder reflektieren wollen, sondern bereit sind, wirklich abzuschließen, zu klären und neu auszurichten.Das Seminar hat heuer mit großem Erfolg viermal stattgefunden und geht 2026 in eine weitere Tiefe.Termine 2026

Live long and prosper.”

In dieser Sightviews-Episode nimmt Benjamin Hofer den WeWalk Smart Cane 2 ausführlich unter die Lupe. Über fast drei Wochen wurde das System im Alltag getestet – mit Fokus auf Hardware, Bedienung und praktischen Nutzen. Der Beitrag beginnt beim Lieferumfang und der Montage, beschreibt Haptik, Tastenanordnung und Gewicht und ordnet den WeWalk 2 im Vergleich zur ersten Generation ein. Ein zentrales Thema ist die Navigation direkt über den Stock: Routenführung zu gespeicherten Zielen, ÖPNV-Navigation mit Ein- und Ausstiegshinweisen sowie die Erkunden-Funktion für Orte in der Umgebung. Auch die Offline-Funktionen wie Hinderniserkennung und Taschenlampe kommen nicht zu kurz. Der aktuelle Stand des KI-Sprachassistenten wird vorgestellt – was heute schon funktioniert, was noch nicht und welche Funktionen künftig angekündigt sind. Benjamin schildert offen seine Praxiserfahrungen, benennt Stärken und Schwächen und geht auf Punkte ein, die im Alltag zählen.

The early 2000s preached “girl power” to the masses — but that often looked like sex and plastic surgery. Sophie Gilbert, staff writer at The Atlantic, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss what coming of age in the early aughts meant for young women in an atmosphere of highly sexualized body image, how porn manifested itself into pop culture, and what society had to say about powerful women. Her book is “Girl on Girl: How Pop Culture Turned a Generation of Women Against Themselves.” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

US oil and gas drilling is once again at the center of a high-stakes decision that could shape America's coastlines, marine life, and coastal communities for decades. This episode asks a critical question: should the U.S. lock itself into new offshore drilling just as climate risks and ocean damage are accelerating, or is there still time to choose a safer path for the ocean and future generations? Offshore drilling impacts go far beyond fuel production, and Oceana campaign director Joseph Gordon explains why oil spills are not short-term disasters but long-term crises. One of the most emotional insights from this episode is his description of oil spills as invisible clouds that marine mammals and cleanup workers are forced to breathe, causing health impacts that last decades after the headlines fade. These are consequences most people never see, but communities continue to live with. Public comment offshore drilling still has power, even in difficult political moments. Joseph shares how bipartisan opposition has stopped similar plans before, why Florida, California, Alaska, and the Gulf of Mexico are on the front lines right now, and how everyday people can influence the final outcome. This episode breaks down what is at stake and why speaking up right now truly matters.

On his final day at WFAN, Brandon Tierney takes listeners back to September 12, 2023—the morning after Aaron Rodgers' season-ending Achilles injury just four plays into his Jets debut. Reliving the infamous "Unkillable" speech, BT describes the "out of body" experience of trying to find hope in "football hell" while standing up for Zach Wilson. He reflects on the vulnerability of being a raw, authentic host and explains why that "unkillable" mindset isn't just about sports—it's about surviving life's toughest hits. This is BT at his most personal, closing his chapter at The Fan with the same fire that ignited a viral movement.

In this episode of the Momentum Ministry Partners Podcast, Eric sits down with David Wood — pastor, magician, and founder of Generation Echo — for a conversation that's equal parts inspiring, honest, and challenging. Recorded in sunny Southern California, this episode dives into David's unique journey into ministry, how magic unexpectedly became part of his calling, and how God has been weaving together every chapter of his story for something bigger than he imagined. David shares the heart behind Generation Echo and the moment a single statistic stopped him in his tracks — a number so big it's hard to ignore, yet paired with a solution that suddenly feels possible. From youth ministry to missions, from discernment to obedience, this conversation explores what it really looks like to listen for God's voice, take the next faithful step, and walk alongside the next generation as they wrestle with calling, purpose, and the Great Commission. If you're a student wondering if God could really use you, a youth pastor longing to see students activated, or a leader passionate about missions but unsure where to start, this episode is for you. David doesn't offer a quick fix — he offers a pathway. One rooted in prayer, community, obedience, and trusting God with the steps you can't see yet. You won't want to miss this conversation.

In this honest and reflective episode, Alisa sits down with fan-favorite Ashlee Stohler to unpack the complicated legacy of The Biggest Loser – the reality TV phenomenon that dominated the 2000s and promised life-changing transformations through extreme weight loss. Once celebrated as an inspiration, the show is now widely criticized for its harmful methods and long-term consequences. Alisa and Ashlee dive deep into how it amplified the toxic diet culture of the era, and why its messages still linger today. Key Topics Discussed: The dark reality behind the dramatic transformations: extreme calorie restriction, grueling workouts, and public weigh-ins that often led to metabolic damage, slowed metabolisms, and near-inevitable weight regain. The underlying message that bodies are a problem to be "fixed" – and how that fueled shame, punishment mentality, and the idea that thinness equals worth. How the show reinforced the illusion of quick, permanent change – and why sustainable health looks nothing like a marathon of deprivation. Reflections on healing: Moving beyond the "biggest loser" era. This conversation is equal parts nostalgia, critique, and hope – a must-listen for anyone who's ever felt the weight of diet culture or chased an unrealistic transformation.

The conversation also examines the broader cultural and global context — including antisemitism, nationalism, foreign policy shifts, and America's changing role in the world.

From chief marketing officer at the first internet bank to building the leading annuity platform for RIAs, David Lau shares proven strategies for raising capital, navigating public company challenges, and why converting commission-based revenue to fee-based can multiply your exit value by five times. In this episode of the DealQuest Podcast, host Corey Kupfer sits down with David Lau, founder and CEO of DPL Financial Partners, who has raised over $500 million across multiple ventures and built DPL into a platform serving more than 10,000 advisors at over 3,500 RIA firms. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: In this episode, you'll discover why organic growth matters far more than market growth when acquirers evaluate your business, how converting commission-based annuity business to fee-based can multiply both your revenue and your exit multiple, the real tradeoffs of taking institutional capital and signing up for aggressive growth, the critical difference between venture capitalist optimism and private equity scrutiny, and how recognizing when your business has "run its course" can open the door to building something bigger. DAVID'S JOURNEY: David's career began as chief marketing officer of Telebank, the first internet bank, where he helped raise over $500 million. When preparing to go public, the stock jumped from $17 to $150 in weeks before Goldman Sachs stabilized pricing at $105. He later built Jefferson National, an insurance carrier he sold to Nationwide. That experience taught him the valuable part was distribution, not the capital-intensive balance sheet, leading directly to founding DPL in 2018. KEY INSIGHTS: A billionaire David met admitted he "mistook a bull market for brilliance." Acquirers only pay premium multiples for organic growth. If you did nothing different over the last decade as an RIA, you're making twice as much just from market performance. Buyers know this. Converting from commission to fee-based transforms exit potential with three times the revenue and five times the multiple, while expanding your buyer pool. DPL's technology reviews 2,500 policies per hour, and a significant portion of DPL's $4 billion in annuity sales were M&A related. When launching DPL, David planned to bootstrap until meeting Todd Boehly. Taking institutional capital means signing up for aggressive growth where some team members won't make it to the next stage. Venture capitalists are optimists who see your vision. Private equity investors see everything that can go wrong. Perfect for RIA owners considering M&A, hybrid advisors evaluating fee-based transitions, and entrepreneurs weighing capital raising decisions.

In its duration, geographical reach, and ferocity, World War II was unprecedented, and the effects on those who fought it and their loved ones at home, immeasurable. The heroism of the men and women who won the war may be well documented, but we know too little about the pain and hardships the veterans endured upon their return home. As historian David Nasaw makes evident in his masterful recontextualization of these years, the veterans who came home to America were not the same people as those who had left for war, and the nation to which they returned was not the one they had left behind. Contrary to the prevailing narratives of triumph, here are the largely unacknowledged realities the veterans—and the nation—faced that radically reshaped our understanding of this era as a bridge to today. The Wounded Generation: Coming Home After World War II (Penguin, 2025) tells the indelible stories of the veterans and their loved ones as they confronted the aftershocks of World War II. Veterans suffering from recurring nightmares, uncontrollable rages, and social isolation were treated by doctors who had little understanding of PTSD. They were told that they were suffering from nothing more than battle fatigue and that time would cure it. When their symptoms persisted, they were given electro-shock treatments and lobotomies, while the true cause of their distress would remain undiagnosed for decades to come. Women who had begun working outside the home were pressured to revert to their prewar status as housewives dependent on their husbands. Returning veterans and their families were forced to double up with their parents or squeeze into overcrowded, substandard shelters as the country wrestled with a housing crisis. Divorce rates doubled. Alcoholism was rampant. Racial tensions heightened as White southerners resorted to violence to sustain the racial status quo. To ease the veterans' readjustment to civilian life, Congress passed the GI Bill, but Black veterans were disproportionately denied their benefits, and the consequences of this discrimination would endure long after the war was won. In this richly textured examination, Dr. Nasaw presents a complicated portrait of those who brought the war home with them, among whom were the period's most influential political and cultural leaders, including John F. Kennedy, Robert Dole, and Henry Kissinger; J. D. Salinger and Kurt Vonnegut; Harry Belafonte and Jimmy Stewart. Drawing from veterans' memoirs, oral histories, and government documents, Dr. Nasaw illuminates a hidden chapter of American history—one of trauma, resilience, and a country in transition. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

What generation does Mocha think he belongs to—Millennial, Gen Z, or Gen Alpha? Maurie's always broke (seriously, where does his money go?), and we dive into his wild schemes for free stuff and side hustles. Plus, has Mocha been binging Hallmark Christmas movies this year? We share favorites and the most over-the-top holiday movie plots. Then, it's a round of hilarious “Would You Rather”: built-in pockets or built-in Heeleys? Ever been caught regifting? And the ultimate debate—do you say POP or SODA, and what's your go-to flavour?

What if an entire family's trajectory changed in a single moment of tragedy? In this episode, Stephen Woessner, founder of Predictive ROI, shares the remarkable story of his grandfather Peter Marus, who arrived in America in 1920 with just $10 and couldn't speak English. After his father was murdered on the streets of Istanbul for being Greek, eight-year-old Peter became the family breadwinner, dropping out of third grade to support his mother and siblings. That singular tragedy transformed his family's DNA, creating a lineage of entrepreneurs that spans four generations. Stephen reveals how his grandfather's business philosophy during the Great Depression, giving away more soup than he sold because "Jesus might look like anyone," shaped his own approach to business and giving. Now running an agency that serves other agencies, Stephen and his wife have quietly paid thousands in tuition for struggling families, honoring his grandfather's sacrifice while pursuing an audacious vision: building 100 churches and funding college educations for as many kids as possible. Stephen explains why education is the great equalizer, how one moment of violence created an entire family of business owners, and what it means to honor the risks your ancestors took by working late into the night when you'd rather sleep.   [00:03:00] The Corey Morris Connection Kevin and Stephen connected through Corey Morris and felt like they'd known each other for years Stephen: "When Corey introduces me to somebody, there's the transference of trust and credibility" The power of context in introductions versus generic "you're both great guys" connections Trust transfers through quality, contextual connections [00:06:40] Family First, Business Second Married 32 years to Christine, daughter Caitlyn is freshman in college Stephen and Christine were married 14 years before having Caitlyn On "empty nesting": "I think we're gonna be okay" spending time together again [00:07:00] Building Predictive ROI Started Predictive ROI in 2009 with team of 26 who genuinely care about each other Uses the "forbidden love word" inside the business Agency supports other agencies with business development and sales operations Team travels together, hangs out together, laughs and cries together [00:09:20] The Unlikely Path to Agency Life Grew up in Canton, Ohio surrounded by family restaurant businesses Graduated 272 out of 300 in high school ("I don't think you got your percentiles right, Mom") Joined Air Force in junior year, spent four years in nuclear missile silos in South Dakota Learned power of troubleshooting and system design [00:11:00] Breaking Into Advertising Working at Red Lobster, needed marketing experience to become manager Called agencies in Rapid City offering to work for free, most said he was "greener than green" Robert Sharp and Associates said yes to three-month unpaid internship Competed against two other interns: "There's no way I'm not winning this" [00:16:00] What Inspires the Work Changing trajectory from famine to feast in business development Replacing desperation with hope, confidence, and structure Creating dependable sales pipelines that open new possibilities for agencies [00:17:40] The Everest Mission Business goals mapped on office wall, but real "why" is building 100 churches Put as many kids through college as possible Stephen: "Education is a great equalizer" Business profits fund impact, not the other way around [00:20:40] Peter Marus: The Man Who Changed Everything Born 1902 in Istanbul, Turkey Father murdered on streets when Peter was eight for being Greek Dropped out of third grade to become breadwinner for mom and two younger siblings At 18 (1920), came to United States with $10 and no English [00:22:20] Building The Ideal Restaurant Came to Canton, Ohio, started washing dishes and cutting vegetables Traded skills for money, saved everything Six years later, opened The Ideal restaurant in downtown Canton Got married, had four kids [00:23:20] The Depression Philosophy Gave away more soup than he sold during the Great Depression Peter's response when asked why: "I know Jesus is coming back someday.

I saw somebody live it" [00:25:40] When DNA Changes in a Moment Stephen believes when great-grandfather was murdered, family DNA changed to entrepreneurs Peter's four kids all became restaurateurs All 10 grandkids became business owners 100% of family downstream became entrepreneurs [00:28:00] From Poor Student to Education Advocate Peter had only third grade education but was incredibly intelligent Never stopped reading and consuming knowledge with fervor for education Stephen got four college degrees through Air Force Now wants to put as many kids through college as possible in Peter's honor [00:29:20] Becoming a Partner in Three Years Told agency president: "I want to be an owner in this business" Set five-year goal, worked hard, badgered the president Accomplished it in three years instead [00:30:00] The Late Night Work Ethic Peter's photo framed on Stephen's office wall as daily reminder At night when tired: "I think I can send one more email" Has privilege to do what he does because Peter took all those risks Grandmother's struggle from Crete to America was horrendous too [00:32:00] The $5,186 Check That Changed Lives First time Stephen has shared this story publicly 15 years ago at back-to-school night, wondered if families were struggling with tuition Principal Bob said family's business failing, owed $5,186, had to pull kids out Stephen brought check that day, one condition: complete anonymity Received anonymous thank you letter, Stephen and Christine crying in kitchen: "We need to do more of that" [00:36:00] The Gift of Receiving Kevin's realization 13 years ago: not receiving deprives others of joy of giving Family foundation gives kids debit card at Christmas to find struggling families Kids shop for gifts/food, deliver everything themselves Oldest daughter: "Dad, I wish I could just do that all the time" [00:38:40] Blossom Garden Orphanage Kevin's family supports Jamaica orphanage for years, takes trips to spend time with kids Kids call it "white people day" when they visit First trip son Brock was 3, only white kid in photo, completely oblivious Now take kids' school friends, parents amazed when they return with new perspective   KEY QUOTES "You know, I know that Jesus is coming back someday.

Scott and Josh run down 10-6 of their favourite games of the generation so far. Will they have anything in common when picking from five years of releases? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Family can be beautiful and messy and the holidays have a way of bringing both to the surface. In Mark 3:20-35, Pastor Ryan Visconti walks through a surprising moment where Jesus is misunderstood by His own family and accused by religious leaders. Then Jesus drops a warning that can feel terrifying at first blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. In this message you will learn what that sin is and what it is not why it cannot be committed by accident and why your fear of it can actually be a sign of hope. You will also see how Jesus redefines family and invites you into a spiritual family that lasts forever through the local church.

Have you ever looked at your life and thought, “I don't have the tools to fix this”? The harder you try...self-help, success, therapy, politics, better habits...the more stuck you feel. Anxiety grows. Anger leaks out. Old patterns won't loosen. You're not just tired…you're lost.This Advent message goes straight to that quiet, aching longing we all carry: the need for real rescue. Not advice. Not motivation. Not another strategy, but help from Someone stronger than us.Through the Christmas story in Luke 2, we're reminded that Jesus didn't come as a life coach or moral example. He came as a Savior. For the helpless. For the wandering. For those who've tried to save themselves and found it only made things worse.If you've ever felt alone, overwhelmed, or afraid that you're doing irreparable damage to your life, this message is for you. Christmas declares this good news: you don't have to fix yourself. A Shepherd has come. A Rescuer has been born.DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:When in your own life have you felt like you were “stripping the bolts”—trying harder and harder to fix something in yourself, only to feel more stuck?When you hear Scripture describe humanity as “lost” or “helpless” (Isa. 53:6, Jer. 50:6, Luke 19:10), what feelings rise in you—resistance, relief, confusion? Why?Of the four “secular rescue stories” we reviewed (self-help, consumerism, therapy-as-savior, ideology), which one are you most tempted to trust apart from God? What does it promise you?What part of the announcement “A Savior is born to you” (Luke 2:11) encourages you personally this year?What do you sense God leading you to do in response to your reflections?+ + + + +Hey, while you're here, please help Generation by clicking the 'Subscribe' button, then click on the BELL
