Our fascinating discussion with Dr. Andrea McKenzie continues in this episode. We returned to making connections between living through war and living through the Covid-19 pandemic. We discussed the extraordinary Red Cross and nursing work taken on by the young women of Rilla of Ingleside, and Andrea teaches us about what would have happened to the young women who took on so many new roles during the war once the men returned home.

Sissy and David sit down with Andy Crouch to talk about what kids need in a tech-saturated world—and why their deepest needs haven't changed. Andy explores how today's screens foster “parasocial” connection, how AI companions could become adolescents' most trusted voices, and why frictionless digital relationships can keep kids from growing through real-life conflict and disappointment. He encourages families to be “tech-wise, not tech-free,” creating intentional rhythms and boundaries—especially around meals, sleep, and bedrooms—so kids can stay grounded in embodied relationships and grow in wisdom and courage.

A new study shows a sex difference in the early growth of the human brain. Does it matter?
For a few decades starting in the 1940s, the FBI recruited high school girls for clerical work. A Chicago Catholic school was a go-to spot to make new hires.
In this Replay episode, Matthew Lee Anderson, Derek Rishmawy, and Alistair Roberts are joined by Andy Crouch — Partner for Theology and Culture at Praxis — to examine what the data on social media and video games reveals about the diverging formation of young men and women. The conversation turns on a pointed question: what happens when the skills adolescence develops are simulations rather than realities? And what does that mean for formative communities — home, school, and church — that bear responsibility for shaping persons, not just managing behaviors? - Mere Fidelity is a podcast from Mere Orthodoxy and is listener-supported.

In this episode, we sit down with Elle Wilks, confidence advocate and co-founder of Fearless Girls Club, to explore a pattern many parents notice but don't always understand: why girls' confidence so often drops around age 10.This is the age when many girls shift from carefree self-expression to self-consciousness. Peer approval, appearance, performance, and social comparison begin to carry more weight. What once felt easy — speaking up, trying new things, being silly, taking risks — can suddenly feel loaded with fear of getting it wrong.Elle shares what is happening developmentally, socially, and emotionally during this stage, and how subtle messages about being “good,” “nice,” and “liked” can slowly disconnect girls from their authentic voice. We talk about the growing influence of friendships, perfectionism, school pressure, and the early impact of social media culture — even before many girls are officially online.Drawing from her work with girls and families through Fearless Girls Club, an award-winning UK social enterprise supporting girls aged 8–12, Elle explains how confidence isn't built through lectures — it grows through experiences of courage, creativity, and connection. Their monthly themed activity boxes are designed to spark those moments, giving girls practical tools, stories, and creative challenges that nurture bravery, kindness, and self-worth in a hands-on, meaningful way.Most importantly, this conversation is packed with practical ways parents can respond when confidence begins to wobble. You'll learn how to:• notice early signs of shrinking confidence• support bravery without adding pressure• shift conversations away from appearance and toward identity• help girls build resilience after social setbacks• create a home environment that protects self-worthIf you've seen your once bold, expressive child become more hesitant, emotional, or self-critical, this episode will help you understand why — and show you how to gently guide her back toward self-trust.An empowering listen for parents, educators, and anyone who wants to help girls grow up grounded, confident, and secure in who they are.
TVC 724.2: Harvey Lisberg, manager of Herman's Hermits, talks to Ed and guest co-host Chuck Harter about the band's brief foray into motion pictures in the mid 1960s (including Where The Boys Meet the Girls and Hold On!), and why the band's voices, particularly on the harmonies of their songs, was critical to their success. Harvey's memoir, I'm Into Something Good: My Life Managing 10cc, Herman's Hermits, and Many More, is available wherever books are sold through Omnibus Press.
This week on Clover, I had the honor of sitting down with Celeste Mergens, bestselling author and founder of Days for Girls, a global movement that has reached nearly 4 million women and girls in 145 countries.Celeste's story is a powerful reminder that leadership doesn't always begin with a master plan. She started out wanting to be an electrical engineer. Life rerouted her into motherhood, raising six children, and later completing two master's degrees. Celeste is also the author of The Power of Days, where she shares the extraordinary story behind the global movement she founded. What she models so beautifully is that nothing is wasted; every season prepares you for the next.Days for Girls began with a moment of awareness in rural Kenya. Celeste discovered that girls were missing school because they lacked access to menstrual products—and in some cases were being exploited just to obtain one. What began as 500 handmade kits sewn by volunteers grew, step by step, into a global movement.In this conversation, we explore:Why menstruation remains one of the world's most persistent taboosHow silence around women's bodies shapes power and opportunityWhat happens when girls reclaim authority over their biologyThe power of invitation over imposition in global leadershipWhy listening—not telling—has been central to Days for Girls' impactWhat it means to trust the next step without seeing the full pathWhat struck me most is that this isn't just about menstrual equity. It's about dignity. It's about rewriting a narrative that has labeled women's bodies as shameful or untouchable—and choosing instead to see them as powerful.Celeste didn't set out to build a global organization. She followed invitations. She paid attention. She acted when she saw injustice. And she held a vision bigger than what felt “measurable and achievable.”Without periods, there would be no people.This episode is about shifting from silence to celebration—and what becomes possible when we're courageous enough to talk about what the world told us not to.ResourcesDays for Girls - WebsiteCeleste Mergens - LinkedInThe Power of Days - Book

Kristen Jensen, founder of Defend Young Minds and author of Good Pictures Bad Pictures, talks with Sissy and David about why parents need to start conversations about pornography early—ideally as soon as kids have access to screens. She explains how porn often finds kids through friends' devices, social media, apps, and even AI, and why proactive, calm conversations help build an “internal filter” that tech safeguards alone can't provide. Kristen also addresses the link between pornography, addiction, and rising child-on-child harmful behavior, and offers practical steps for parents if exposure happens: stay calm, make a plan, keep talking, and remember that porn is the problem—not your child.

It's Tuesday, February 17th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed 90,000 Nigerians displaced due to Islamic violence More than 90,000 Catholic Nigerians have been displaced in the Southern Taraba State since September 2025, reports International Christian Concern. According to the Catholic Diocese of Wukari, over 100 people have been killed and thousands more wounded in that same time frame. U.S. funds United Nations, Dept of Ed, and Nat'l Institutes of Health The Trump administration is still funding the United Nations. President Donald Trump approved another $3 billion dollars to the international organization in early February, according to Reuters. The U.S. has averaged $2.5 billion dollars of funding each year for the United Nations, over the last twenty years. America joined the United Nations back in 1945, and is its largest donor. And, despite vowing to close down the U.S. Department of Education during his campaign, the president has signed a government funding bill that will jack up the Education Department budget 2025 levels by $217 million for a total of $79 billion. That's $12 billion more than the administration's original request. Plus, the National Institutes of Health gets another increase of $415 million over Fiscal Year 2025. In total, $48.7 billion of taxpayer money will keep this bureaucracy alive and flourishing. Republican states take action to cut property taxes Several Republican-majority states are working to reduce and eliminate property taxes for citizens. North Dakota, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, and Texas have made progress. Plus, Tennesseans will consider a ballot measure this November to eliminate the property tax. Several states are also working to trim or fully end state income taxes, with nine states having zero income tax in 2026. One-third of young women call themselves homosexual or transgender The Gallup polling organization released new numbers on Americans identifying with a list of sexual perversions. Now, 9% of U.S. adults call themselves sexually perverted, up from 7% in 2023, and 3.5% in 2012. The increase has occurred with the younger generation primarily. Now, almost a quarter of 20-somethings and roughly one-third of young women call themselves homosexual or transgender. Also, 10% of the 30 to 49-year-olds claim these perverse identities. Transgender murderers kill at 10 times rate of general population As The Worldview reported on February 12, the mass murderer held responsible for perpetrating Canada's worst school shooting in recent history was a man pretending to be a woman, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Jesse Van Rootselaar killed his mother and seven others, and wounded 27, before killing himself in the massacre in a remote town in British Columbia. Another man pretending to be a woman, Robert Westman, was the perpetrator at the Annunciation Catholic School shooting last August. At least five other mass-casualty shootings are attributed to men and women attempting to change their gender. That includes the Aberdeen, Maryland Rite Aid shooting, the STEM School killings in Denver, Colorado, the Club Q massacre in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and the Covenant School massacre in Nashville, Tennessee. Also, the Iowa Perry High School perpetrator appeared to be pushing the transgender agenda. A recent study from National Review found that transgender suspects participate in mass shootings at a rate of 10 times that of the rest of the population. Alabama's Governor signs Child Predator Death Penalty Act Alabama Republican Governor Kay Ivey signed the Child Predator Death Penalty Act into law late last week, reports WVTM13. This law assigns the death penalty to crimes of first-degree rape, first-degree sodomy, and first-degree sexual assault of victims under age 12. Biblical law assigns a serious penalty to those who kidnap or seize people against their will. Exodus 21:16 says, “Now one who kidnaps someone, whether he sells him or he is found in his possession, shall certainly be put to death.” Kansas governor vetoes law to keep boys out of girls spaces Kansas Democratic Governor Laura Kelly vetoed a bill passed by the Kansas legislature that would have kept biological males out of women's bathrooms. The bill would have prosecuted any men, pretending to be women, who trespass in women's spaces, on repeated offenses. Hopefully, the state legislature will override the veto, given that the Republican Party holds a two-thirds majority in both houses. So far, 20 states have passed laws that ban men from invading women's spaces. Proverbs 17:13 reminds us, “Whoever rewards evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.” Puerto Rico affirms value of human life from conception Puerto Rico Governor Jenniffer González-Colón signed a bill that affirms the humanity and dignity of an unborn child, from the moment of conception. Governor González-Colón said the bill “classifies as first-degree murder the intentional and knowing killing of a pregnant woman, resulting in the death of the unborn child at any stage of gestation within the mother's womb.” This was passed mainly for purposes of homicide and criminal law. While this personhood law does not automatically ban abortion outright in Puerto Rico, pro-lifers are hopeful it will pave the way for future legal protections of unborn babies. 47% of Americans think visitors from other planets have visited Earth (theme from the movie E.T.) Interest in extraterrestrials and UFOs is at an all-time high in the United States. A “Yougov” survey found 47% of Americans believe extraterrestrials have visited the Earth. Former President Barack Obama says ET's probably exist. But he clarified on Instagram that, “I saw no evidence during my presidency that extraterrestrials have made contact with us.” Pokemon card sells for $16 million And finally, a trading card has netted the highest private sale amount in history. A Pokeman card took in over $16 million over the weekend. That beats the last world record sale of a 1952 Mickey Mantle baseball card, which sold for $12.6 million in 2022. There were only 41 of this particular Pokemon card produced in 1998. That compares to 75 billion Pokemon cards printed in 2025. Pokeman is a game wherein the players play-act the harnessing of the power wielded by demons or monsters. Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, February 17th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

Extra print stories United States military strikes ISIS in Syria The US military conducted strikes on more than 30 ISIS targets in Syria since the beginning of February. According to US Central Command, or CENTCOM, the attacks "struck ISIS infrastructure and weapons storage targets with precision munitions delivered by fixed-wing, rotary-wing, and unmanned aircraft." CENTCOM Commander Brad Cooper said, “Striking these targets demonstrates our continued focus and resolve for preventing an ISIS resurgence in Syria. Operating in coordination with coalition and partner forces to ensure the enduring defeat of ISIS makes America, the region and the world safer." More than 50 ISIS terrorists have reportedly been killed in the past couple of months by the United States military. Tensions remain high between the US and the Middle East, with all eyes on potential military action in Iran. US House passes SAVE Act The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act requiring those who vote in American elections to provide proof of citizenship. The bill passed 218-213, with every House Republican voting in favor of the measure. Texas Democrat Henry Cuellar also crossed the aisle to vote for the law. The law is touted by Republicans as a simple way to secure American elections and to eliminate cheating and foreign influence. Americans also overwhelmingly favor the requirement of a photo ID to cast a vote. However, the bill faces a hard road in the Senate, with Republicans holding only 53 seats, but needing 60 votes to pass the SAVE Act. Psalm 67:4 says, “O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon Earth.”
If you've ever thought, “Well, I guess I can't progressive overload because I don't have heavier weights,” this episode is for YOU.We're talking about training volume, progressive overload, and why lifting heavier isn't the only way to make progress. Yes - access to a gym and heavier weights is great! But…it's not required for results. What actually matters? The amount of MEANINGFUL work your muscles are doing over time! Volume isn't just a buzzword you're hearing online these days - it's sets × reps × load. Your body responds to challenge, and it's not just numbers on paper. If you're training at home, you're NOT stuck. Progressive overload isn't just “add weight.” It's more reps, sets, unilateral work, and pauses. The goal isn't heavy - it's HARD for you. Volume + intensity are your two levers, so don't be afraid to use them wisely!Episode recap:Why progressive overload isn't just adding weightWhat training volume really meansWhy effort, strength, and hard reps + recruitment matterHow to increase the challenge when your weights are limitedWhy volume + intensity are your two key leversUnderstanding that scale fluctuations after hard training are NORMALWays that progress shows up beyond the scaleWhy your goal should be hard (not heavy) for youLinks/Resources:Ep. 226 | Pain-Free Performance: How to Build a Powerful and Healthy Body for Life with Dr. John RusinEp. 227 | Your Body Is Not Amazon Prime - Stop Expecting Instant ResultsGrab your FREE Body Recomp Meal Prep and get the UFYF NewsletterListen to the Girls with Opinions PodcastJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

Part 1: This week we're joined by Bill Vanderbush, one of our favorite theologians, for a wide-ranging discussion that challenges the way many of us see faith.We talk about what it really means to bring your honest questions to God instead of pretending they don't exist. Bill addresses the idea that Christianity has often appeared powerless—and why it was never meant to be that way.We unpack reckless grace, the difference between faith in God and faith that actually comes from God, and why so many believers have settled for less than what's available.Learn more about Bill: https://billvanderbush.com/homeLearn more about There is More: https://thereismorecollective.com/Check Out Our Resources, including the Father's House Study, Go to Girls, and the Spiritual Warfare Workshop: https://thereismorecollective.com/resourcesGet 10% discount on Father's House Study with code: FH10Follow There is More Podcast on Instagram: @thereismorepodcastPartner With Us: https://neveralonewidows.kindful.com/?campaign=1284937
A humanitarian crisis-- where life has been upset by natural disaster, conflict, or forced displacement-- can disproportionately impact women and girls. Women and girls, at disproportionate risk for gender-based violence, maternal health complications, and barriers to accessing aid, have different requirements in these settings. Julianne Deitch, Associate Director of Research at the Women's Refugee Commission (WRC), looks back with us on this last year's foreign aid cuts and talks to us about the substantial impacts on women and girls in crisis.Before 2025, the U.S. was one of the largest donors to humanitarian aid globally, with aid hovering at 13 billion dollars annually to address immediate needs for population in crises. Still, humanitarian aid made up less than 0.1% of the gross national income. In January 2025, the Trump administration froze all U.S. foreign aid and dismantled U.S. foreign assistance infrastructure (including closing USAID). Over the last year, WRC collected concrete evidence from over 32 countries. They found that women and girls in humanitarian crises: 1) have lost access to necessary health care (maternal health, sexual and reproductive health care, antiviral drugs, and more); 2) are less safe from gender-based violence; and 3) have lost access to women-led, targeted, trusted, local support. Increased funding, advancing the life-saving principle of gender-specific humanitarian aid, supporting local, women-led organizations, and holding governments accountable are all recommendations for addressing this reality.

As promised, we are back for part two of publicly shaming the people who deserve it. This episode was inspired by listener-submitted bad roommate stories from the last episode, and the gloves are officially off. We kick things off by calling out rude social media commenters, anti-noodle people, and weather one-uppers. If you've ever thought, “Why are people like this?” while scrolling, this episode is for you.Then it's straight into absolute roommate chaos. From creepy peeping Toms to drug dealers and stolen snacks, you'll gasp or laugh at every horror story listeners sent in! The “What the Hell” and “What You Ought to Know” segments somehow bring it all back to mindset, parenting, and finding perspective after the chaos. This one is unhinged, hilarious, and exactly what you signed up for.

What does it take to increase the number of girls participating in sports? On this episode of Open Space Radio, we explore the obstacles, the breakthroughs, and how park and recreation professionals are at the center of it all. We know sports offer lifelong physical and mental health benefits, helping girls build strength, confidence and connections. But when it comes to getting more girls and women involved in sports, participation alone isn't the goal. The real work is creating environments where girls feel like they belong, and feel supported, safe and excited to stay in the game as they grow. And right now, as girls' and women's sports are gaining national attention, it's a pivotal moment to rethink how youth sports actually show up for girls in our communities. On this episode, we chat with two incredible local leaders who are putting these ideas into action in their communities: Sally Pennington, CPRE, director of parks and recreation in Eudora, Kansas, and Amy Tessier, recreation program supervisor in Twentynine Palms, California. We're also joined by Allison Colman, senior director of programs at NRPA, who helps lead our youth sports strategy and shares insight into NRPA's role in advancing this work nationwide. Tune in below to hear how you can be part of the movement to get more girls in sports. You'll also learn: What participation gaps between girls and boys still exist, even as girls' and women's sports gain national visibility How early experiences in youth sports can shape long-term confidence and retention What a systems-change approach looks like in parks and recreation, from coach recruitment and training to programming Why increasing women coaches and role models is critical to keeping girls engaged How local programs are creating ripple effects beyond the field And much more!

In this episode, hosts Rachael Culpepper and Natalie Ambrose use the analogy of parenting instincts to recognize oncoming illness in their kids as a framework to approach a girl's body image struggles. While parents are usually pretty good at connecting symptoms to oncoming illness in their kids, it's not always as clear when body image issues surface in our girls. So this week the podcast is focusing on body image, and how that is often reflective of a deeper spiritual thing happening in our girls. Many times, girls hear negative messages about their bodies—that the body needs to be altered in order to fit in with the current notion of beauty. This can leave girls hating their bodies and measuring beauty through a lens that God never intended. How can we parent our daughters to embrace her body as a gift from God? It's important to let a girl enjoy beauty rather than shame her for wanting to feel pretty. For a Christian girl, the key to a healthy Biblical Worldview on body image is tied to her contentment in the Lord rather than her appearance. The AHG Ministry has a whole badge frontier designed to instill a healthy view of the body in a girl's journey. Raising Godly Girls also has the Raising Godly Girls Guide to Gender & Identity, which offers parents a great jumping off point to take these conversations into the home. Two Things to Remember: § It's Okay for a Girl to Want Beauty, Yes—Even as a Christian § Feeling Beautiful Isn't a Good Source for Contentment, so Address This Gently but Directly in Your Girl Scriptures Referenced in this Episode: · Genesis 1:31a Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com.

Even after his 2008 conviction and infamous plea deal, Jeffrey Epstein remained undeterred—continuing to lure minors to his private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Lawsuits filed by the U.S. Virgin Islands Attorney General allege that Epstein trafficked girls as young as 12 to Little Saint James as recently as 2018, using deceptive promises of jobs, education, and money to ensnare them. This wasn't a residual crime—it was active, methodical exploitation that spanned well into the era when he was a registered sex offender and should have been cut off entirely.What's more infuriating is how systemic this was—despite being a known predator, Epstein's abuses persisted up to the brink of his arrest. Surveillance data later revealed that nearly 200 mobile devices visited his so‑called “pedophile island” between 2016 and 2019, underscoring that his elite network, and the trafficking operation on his island, remained in full swing. These weren't the isolated misdeeds of an untouchable man—they were the consequences of unchecked power and corruption that allowed an incarcerated predator to keep committing atrocities until he was finally arrested.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/jeffrey-epstein-suicide-victims-girls-virgin-islands-lawsuit-trafficking-a9285536.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In this episode, we dive deep into the systemic barriers that women face (and still face!) in sports coaching with Dr. Nicole LaVoi, a leading expert in gender equity in sports.Despite the surge in female athlete participation since Title IX, why have women's coaching numbers significantly declined? And Dr. LaVoi shares actionable strategies for women navigating male-dominated environments.Key Takeaways• Historical Context: When Title IX passed in 1972, over 90% of women's teams had female coaches, but that number has dropped to around 45% today.• Dual Career Pathway: Men often have the advantage of coaching both men's and women's teams, while opportunities for women to coach men's teams are scarce.• Systemic Barriers: Understand the societal, organizational, and interpersonal barriers that impact women in coaching, including the "likability-competence double bind."• Supportive Networks: Build and leverage networks with like-minded women to foster collaboration and mentorship in challenging environments.• Self-Advocacy: Remember that nobody cares about your career more than you; advocate for yourself and your work. Dr. Nicole LaVoi is the Director of the Tucker Center for Research on Girls and Women in Sport at the University of Minnesota. She is a prominent researcher focusing on gender equity in sports leadership and has dedicated her career to addressing the barriers women face in athletics.Resources Mentioned• Tucker Center for Research on Girls & Women in Sport • CoachingHer.com - Free resources for coaching girls effectively• BodyConfidentSport.com - Tools for creating body-positive environments in sports If you found value in today's episode, please subscribe to our podcast, leave a review, and share this conversation with someone who needs to hear it.
