When the U.S. Supreme Court dealt a death blow in 2022 to federal abortion protections offered by Roe v. Wade, a gruesome patchwork quilt of abortion regulations covered the nation, creating drastic gaps to abortion access from state to state. Three years into this new “normal,” Kelley Fox and Rev. Terry Williams talk about what life is like now that nobody got what they really wanted from the U.S. Supreme Court. Focusing on the impact that confusing abortion laws and vague, ever-changing repro rights restrictions have on patients seeking care, Kelley and Terry frame the present as a prelude to what's possible through religious freedom protections, communal resistance, and effective organizing in the coming years.

I've been away, not out of apathy, but because I've been growing, studying, lamenting, rebuilding—and finding my center. I've spent that time preparing, and now, I'm coming back with a plan, a purpose, and a clarity I didn't have before. This episode lays out the foundation for everything that comes next. I'm introducing a new, methodical cycle—a rotation of the most urgent and interconnected issues of our time:Gaza and the global fight against genocideThe rise of fascism in AmericaWhite supremacy and systemic racismFailures and complicity within the Democratic PartyNuances within the Black communityWhy Christianity and capitalism are fundamentally incompatibleEach topic will be revisited regularly. This is not headline-chasing. This is strategic, educational, and mobilizing work—meant to build a body of knowledge that equips us for the fight ahead. I also want to be clear about this shift: I'm leading more publicly with my faith now—not as a means of exclusion, but because it's the source of my clarity and conviction.That said, this space has always been and will always remain rooted in unity—centered around The People of Good Faith. That means you—whether you're Christian, atheist, Muslim, agnostic, Jewish, spiritual, or none of the above. If you yield to truth, if you are committed to justice, if you're willing to confront inconvenient facts for the sake of collective liberation—then you are welcome here. You are needed here.I talk in this episode about why I'm moving to daily audio, how social media algorithms have suppressed this work, and why I'm no longer waiting for perfection to speak truth. I ask you—if you've ever stood with me—to show up again. Share this episode. Commit to listening. Reconnect. Because the best of what's coming won't be possible without you. This isn't just a podcast. It's a strategy. A community. A movement. And it starts now.

Pastor Harald discusses that believer's have a God-given responsibility to judge other professing believers but to do it with mercy, humility, and the desire to help them grow

Pastor Zach Pinkerton wraps up our Feel Good Faith series, tackling the common misconception that only God can judge us.

This week Pastor Kevin Pinkerton continues our series, Feel-Good Faith, by discussing the saying “You cannot judge me, Only God can judge me.” God wants us to challenge fellow believers, real love doesn't always support your choices, it speaks truth because judgement is coming to all. Verses: Matthew 7:1-16, 1 Corinthians 5:1 5:9-13, 2 Corinthians 5:6-10, Galatians 6:1, Ephesians 4:14-15

Pastor Harald discuss how God speaks to us through His Word.

This week Pastor Zach Pinkerton guides through week 3 of our series Feel Good Faith. He addresses the myth that everyone gets to go to heaven upon death. We learn our decision to give our life to Jesus is the only circumstance that can get us to heaven. As he closes, Pastor Zach challenges all of us as believers to help others in our lives to make the decision to trust in Jesus for their salvation.

This week Pastor Kevin Pinkerton continues our series, Feel-Good Faith, by discussing the saying “everyone ends up in a better place when they die”. Our forever is fixed by our faith in this life. We can only get eternal life through Jesus and Jesus alone.

Pastor Harald shares God's desire for the Believer/Christian. Is it that we are to be happy and live the way we want, or to be committed followers of Jesus Christ so that we can experience HIS Joy?

Pastor Michael Miller continues in our series, Feel Good Faith, covering the myth that God just wants you to be happy. We learn that suffering isn't always wrong, and that God's ultimate goal for us is to know Him and make Him known.

This week Pastor Kevin Pinkerton continues our series, Feel-Good Faith. Pastor Kevin addresses the feel-good notion that God wants us to be safe. However, it is costly to follow Christ. Tune in to check out the answer to these problems.

Pastor Harald breaks down the phrase "follow your heart," and why it's dangerous for believers.

Pastor Zach Pinkerton kicks off our brand new series-Feel Good Faith, where we will talk about common beliefs that aren't true. This week, we talk about the bad practice of following your heart to whatever makes you feel good.

This week Pastor Kevin Pinkerton kicks off the new series on feel-good faith by cautioning us about mistaking sincerity for truth, and blaming others when problems are actually derived from our heart. Tune in to check out the answer to these problems.

New York Times columnist and Good Faith contributor David French joins Curtis Chang to reflect on what a year of teaching college students taught him about faith, over-parenting, and the future of American democracy.

When an insurance company is accused of acting in bad faith, it's alleged that they failed to act fairly and reasonably in handling a claim -- often related to not agreeing to a reasonable settlement when the financial risk to the insured at trial was known to be substantial. In this episode, host Dr. Gita Pensa talks with Florida attorney Dale Swope about his decades of experience with bad faith lawsuits.   Mr. Swope emphasizes that some liability insurers are more reliable and fair-minded than others, so it's important to consider an insurer's reputation. Just as an adverse medical event doesn't always mean malpractice, an unfavorable legal outcome doesn't automatically mean the insurer acted in bad faith. However, insurers do have obligations to their policyholders—and if those obligations aren't met and there's a negative legal outcome, it can lay the groundwork for a bad faith lawsuit.  Mr. Swope also makes starkly clear the importance of knowing who you're really working for when you're working for a mega-group. (You'll want to check the name on your W-2 immediately.) Dale Swope is managing partner of Swope, Rodante P.A. which is the development of the solo firm practice he founded six months out of law school, in 1979. In his more than thirty years of service as a Board-Certified Civil Trial Specialist, and previously a Board-Certified Business Litigation Specialist, Mr. Swope has won many awards, and holds a reputation as one of the preeminent attorneys practicing in Florida in the area of insurance bad faith.

Artificial intelligence may be changing the trajectory of the self-funded industry – but can it negotiate? In this episode of The Phia Group's Empowering Plans podcast, attorneys Brian O'Hara and Jon Jablon break down real-life examples of AI-driven responses in the No Surprises Act's Open Negotiations process that range from nonsensical to outright misleading, where negotiating with AI is like trying to haggle with a toaster.

Tune in for an honest discussion of the pitfalls of AI in No Surprises Act negotiations.

Terry Williams offer some timely perspective on the outsized role that community care has always played in the lives of the many people who find themselves constantly underserved by government systems in the United States. Particularly lifting up the resilience of communities of spiritual practice, Kelley and Terry recount repro-centered examples of thriving that are fueled by mutual aid in the face of systemic government indifference, casting a hopeful vision of what our future can be even as we navigate rising authoritarianism.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dexter B. Jenkins. He is a Pastor, real estate entrepreneur, financial strategist, and host of Let’s Talk Real Estate. He is also the author of the newly published The Real Estate Wealth Creator Blueprint: Keys to Overcoming Fear, lack of Money, and Inexperience to Possess the Land. “The Real Estate Wealth Creator Blueprint by Dexter B. Jenkins isn’t your typical feel-good faith and finance book. It’s a wake-up call, plain and simple.

As a pastor and financial mentor, he challenges you to stop limiting God’s abundance with a middle-class mindset. Real estate is the tool, but your faith is the engine that drives wealth creation. This book forces you to confront your beliefs about money, faith, and God's will—and if you’re not ready for that, this book isn't for you.
