GDP Script/ Top Stories for September 11th Publish Date: September 11th PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, September 11th and Happy birthday to Tom Landry I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Netherworld set to open Sept. 19 Grieving parents urge self-protection as lawmakers struggle to rein in social media State tax collections on the rise in August Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on fast food All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Ingles Markets 8 STORY 1: Netherworld set to open Sept. 19 This fall, Netherworld Haunted House in Stone Mountain is cranking the terror dial to 11. For its 29th season, the legendary haunt promises its longest, wildest, most jaw-dropping experience yet—think blockbuster effects, insane sets, and creatures straight out of your worst nightmares. Opening Sept. 19 for 35 nights of chaos, this year’s lineup includes “Monsters Attack!,” the grotesque carnival horrors of “Grendel’s Feast,” and the gut-wrenching “Oblivion: Return of the Mangler.” And the midway? Packed with creepy photo ops, escape games, and snacks like light-up cotton candy and “blood bags” for sipping. STORY 2: Grieving parents urge self-protection as lawmakers struggle to rein in social media Vincent LaBella didn’t realize his daughter was struggling until it was too late. Amaya, just a young teen, seemed like any other kid glued to her phone—always texting, always scrolling. But after hosting a small party at their Buckhead home in February, she died by suicide. Her Snapchat told the story: her friend group had turned on her, bombarding her with cruel messages for hours. TikTok’s algorithm didn’t help, feeding her sad songs and dark content, pulling her deeper. “It was poison,” LaBella said. He and other grieving parents are now urging lawmakers to rein in social media’s unchecked influence. STORY 3: State tax collections on the rise in August Georgia’s tax collections ticked up 3.2% in August compared to the same time last year, pulling in $2.41 billion, the state Department of Revenue said Tuesday. What’s behind the bump? Individual income tax receipts rose 1.8%, thanks to a nearly 10% drop in refunds. Sales tax collections also jumped—up 8.2%. But not everything climbed. Corporate income taxes, which make up a smaller slice of the pie, dropped 11%, down $4.5 million from last year. Meanwhile, gas and motor fuel taxes saw a modest 3.2% increase, adding $6.3 million to the state’s coffers. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

This fall, more than 12,777 students are enrolled—the second-highest fall enrollment in the school’s history and the 10th straight semester of growth. The freshman class alone boasts over 2,100 new faces, and international enrollment jumped 7.5%. Health sciences saw an 18% spike, with education close behind at 11%. As GGC marks 20 years, it’s come a long way—from 118 students to nearly 13,000. STORY 5: Gwinnett County Fair gears up for fun and funnel cakes The Gwinnett County Fair is back this week in Lawrenceville, bringing its usual mix of rides, livestock, and—you guessed it—funnel cakes. For over 70 years, it’s been a local tradition, and this year promises a few new twists. Bee Vang, now in her second year as operations manager, is ready for the chaos. New this year? Circus Incredible, featuring Lyric Wallenda of the famous Flying Wallendas, and a magic show with Captain Jim. Plus, a “Shopping Mall” packed with local vendors. Oh, and clear bags only—don’t forget. We’ll be right back.

There are conversations we avoid, not because they are meaningless, but because they are too meaningful. Death is one of those conversations.
And yet, as today's guest so gently and powerfully reminds us, speaking of death is not morbid. It is liberating.My guest is Johanna Lunn, a multi-award-winning filmmaker, producer, and the visionary behind the When You Die Project.
Through her deeply moving trilogy of films, including In the Realm of Death & Dreaming, Saying Goodbye, and Architecture of Death, she has opened space for a cultural dialogue we desperately need, one that begins at the end, but does not end there.In this episode, we speak of what it means to prepare for death,
why Swedish Death Cleaning is not about minimalism, but about legacy, and how near-death experiences, deathbed visions, and liminal dreams might not be fantasy, but memory.As someone who lost my father this year and as someone who lives at the intersection of healthspan, longevity, and the search for meaning, I feel this conversation in my bones.
Because what we avoid holds power over us.
But what we name, we can walk with.So I invite you now into this sacred conversation: soft, subversive, and filled with grace.Episode highlights: 07:45 Johanna's early encounters with profound loss and the silence that followed11:00 Grief as an untold story — how broken hearts can create art, movements, and meaning14:00 A pivotal moment at the bedside: discovering that dying can be held in love16:30 Storytelling as a bridge to “death literacy”17:15 What it means to die consciously — from Swedish death cleaning to life review23:15 How preparing for death can also deepen how we live24:15 Near-death experiences and deathbed visions as memories, not fantasies27:00 Why NDEs feel “realer than real” and what they reveal about consciousness33:15 Signs, synchronicities, and the continued presence of loved ones35:15 Opening family conversations about dying across generations38:00 The “architecture of death” — the rooms, passageways, and mystery of the final months42:30 Terminal lucidity, the “pickup team,” and traveling language of the dying47:15 How families change as a loved one dies — why part of us also dies with them49:00 If death had a message for our hyper-busy world: let goDeath is not the opposite of life, but part of its wholeness. In a culture that hurries past loss, this episode teaches us how to recover the forgotten language of dying and grieving — showing us how remembering death can teach us to live more fully.Resources mentioned:When You Die Project — https://whenyoudie.orgIn the Realm of Death and Dreaming (Film by Johanna Lunn) — https://whenyoudie.orgSaying Goodbye (Film by Johanna Lunn) — https://whenyoudie.orgThe Architecture of Death (Film by Johanna Lunn) — https://whenyoudie.orgBarbara Karnes, RN — https://bkbooks.comDivision of Perceptual Studies (University of Virginia) — https://med.virginia.edu/perceptual-studiesInternational Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS) — https://iands.orgDean Radin, PhD — Institute of Noetic Sciences — https://noetic.orgLinkedIn https://ca.linkedin.com/in/johannajlunnFacebook https://www.facebook.com/whenyoudiecommunityX

Not all grief is about death. Sometimes, the hardest losses are the people (or pets) who are still alive—but no longer in our lives. In this episode, we're talking about the heartbreak of losing relationships: romantic breakups, friendship fallouts, and the deep sadness that comes with saying goodbye to a beloved pet. We explore how grief shows up emotionally, mentally, and even physically—and the unique challenges of letting go of someone who once meant everything to you. Together, we share personal experiences of: The stages of grief Grieving people who are still alive Letting go of “what could've been” Healing after a breakup Losing chosen family or long-time friends Learning how to let go without lingering This conversation shines a light on the many ways we experience loss and how to move through the grief with compassion, courage, and clarity.

There’s one thing you definitely know about Elizabeth Gilbert. She wrote Eat Pray Love - a book that became a global phenomenon, a movie, and a blueprint for millions of women seeking transformation. It made Liz one of the most famous writers in the world. But behind that fame was a deeper story - one Liz never told. Until now. In her new memoir, All the Way to the River, Elizabeth Gilbert tells the truth about the love of her life, her best friend-turned-partner, the late Rayya Elias. It’s a story that’s fierce, complicated, and far from the romantic ideal many people projected onto them. It’s also about Liz’s own descent into addiction; not to drugs or alcohol, but to sex and love. “I am a sex and love addict,” she writes. “I have caused tremendous harm to myself and others.” In this brutally honest conversation, Liz opens up to Holly about the darkest chapters of her life; the chaos of living with a partner relapsing into addiction, the shame of her own destructive patterns, and the moment she contemplated something unthinkable. But this is also a story about healing, truth, and grace. About the kind of honesty that can save your life. And about what happens when you stop running, and finally let yourself be seen. This is Elizabeth Gilbert like you’ve never heard her before: Unfiltered. Grieving. Funny. Fierce.And ready to tell the whole truth.

What happens when the world moves on, but your grief hasn't? In this episode of Journey to Grateful, I reflect on the silence that often follows loss—when friends and family return to their normal routines, while you're left navigating a reality that will never be the same.Now, more than five years after my wife Colleen's passing, I share how grief continues to show up in unexpected ways, including during a recent milestone moment: moving my son to college. While many see such moments as purely joyful, they can also reopen the wound of absence, reminding us of the chapters we were meant to share with those we've lost.This conversation explores the ache of feeling left behind, the weight of disenfranchised grief, and why grief can still feel raw years later. I also offer ways to stay grounded when the support fades—through speaking their name, finding new circles of understanding, and creating small rituals to keep love present.If you've ever felt like your grief is “too much” or wondered why it still hurts long after others think it should have eased, this episode is a reminder: grief has no timeline, and neither does love.

Ciara McCormack, board member of Embrace, lost her dad Noel in a farm accident in 2003 when she was 13 and Gina Dermody, child and adolescent Psychotherapist and Clinical Director AdolEssence

In this wide-ranging conversation, Rachael and Lauren discuss how they stay creatively grounded in periods of grief; they then realize that the conversations they've had as friends and co-hosts have had a grounding effect as well.

Can a state make its people forget the dead? Cemeteries have become sites of acute political contestation in the city-state of Singapore. Confronted with high population density and rapid economic growth, the government has ordered the destruction of all but one burial ground, forcing people to exhume their family members. In Necropolitics of the Ordinary: Death and Grieving in Contemporary Singapore (University of Washington Press, 2025), an ethnography of Chinese funeral parlors and cemeteries, anthropologist and trained mortician Dr. Ruth E. Toulson demonstrates this as part of a larger shift to transform a Daoist-infused obsession with ancestors into a sterile, more easily controlled "Protestant" Buddhism. Further, in a context where the dead remain central to family life, forced exhumation tears the social fabric, turning ancestors into ghosts. Using death ritual and grieving as interrogative lenses, Dr. Toulson explores the scope of and resistance to state power over the dead, laying bare the legacies of colonialism and consequences of whirlwind capitalist development. In doing so, she offers a new anthropology of death, one both more personal and politicized. 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.

Sheinelle Jones opens up to Savannah Guthrie about the loss of her husband, Uche Ojeh, her family's journey through grief and her return to TODAY's Studio 1A.

September 5, 2025Today's Reading: Ephesians 4:25-5:14Daily Lectionary: 2 Kings 2:19-25; 4:1-7; Ephesians 4:25-5:14 “Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.” (Ephesians 4:30)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.There is a false teaching that says that no one could be lost if they have ever come to saving faith. Popularly going by the slogan, “Once saved, always saved,” this is a horrible false teaching. One reason this is so horrible is that it leads people to think that it does not matter if they lead a sinful life or not, because they're automatically in, no matter what. But that's not what our Scripture reading says.Today, Paul warns the Ephesians to “not grieve the Holy Spirit.” Grieving the Holy Spirit is when a believing Christian nevertheless turns to a life of intentional, willful sin against the Ten Commandments. We see this with King David, who lost the Holy Spirit for many months after he slept with Uriah's wife. There are various other Scriptural and life examples as well where someone had the faith and lost it. When the Holy Spirit is grieved, He flees the person's heart and takes saving faith with Him, too. This is one reason why sexual sin is especially dangerous. It is a faith killer.Once saved, always saved? No. But what we can say, and are glad to say, is that even the lost can be found. Even when Christians fall into sin, God calls them to renewed repentance for all their sins. No one living is hopeless. No one living is outside of God's desire to redeem. God wants all to be saved, to repent and believe in the Gospel. Our sins abound. We would be lost without the mercy of Jesus. But He is merciful. He gave His life for sinners. He died for all sins - even future sins that haven't been done. He defeated death for us by His glorious resurrection. Now He sends His Holy Spirit by His Word, even when people have turned away. By that Word, the Holy Spirit comes. He brings the unrepentant to repent, and the repentant to faith in Christ. The Holy Spirit can restore faith to those who have fallen away - He did with King David, after all. He sent Nathan the prophet, whose words of the Law broke David's hardness of heart, and whose words of the Gospel restored David to saving faith. Then, as a fruit of saving faith, the Holy Spirit restores the forgiven believer to holiness of living.The Holy Spirit has sealed you for the day of redemption. He did not come to sanctify sin, but He did come to sanctify you. And through faith in Christ alone, you remain God's temple, and the Holy Spirit dwells in you.

Grief isn't just about death—it's also about the quiet losses we carry as we grow and evolve. In this episode, we're kicking off a 4-part series on grief by exploring what it means to grieve your past. Whether it's a version of yourself that felt more confident, more desirable, or more socially “relevant,” we often feel a deep emotional pull toward who we used to be. From aging and identity shifts to the grief of letting go of our dreams, we're diving into the invisible grief that comes with change. We discuss: What grieving your past looks like How grief can show up as you grow and evolve Letting go of your youth, body, or social capital as a gay man The bittersweet nostalgia of past chapters—even ones you chose to leave behind How to know when it's time to move on, and how to do it with self-compassion This conversation is about honoring who you were while embracing who you're becoming.

In this deeply emotional episode of The Surviving Siblings® Podcast, host Maya Roffler sits down with three surviving siblings Elizabeth, Roger (Avery), and Ryan to share the heartbreaking and inspiring story of losing their sister, Kathryn “Kayleigh” Thurgaland, in a tragic car accident in October 2020. What makes this episode truly unique is hearing the story from three perspectives, each sibling offering a different memory, emotion, and lens through which Kayleigh is remembered. From early childhood memories filled with family bonfires and music, to the unimaginable moment of receiving the call that she had passed, this episode is a portrait of a family that has chosen love, unity, and legacy in the face of profound loss. Kayleigh was a gifted artist, dancer, and musician whose spirit lives on through the Kathryn Lee Thurgaland Foundation, a family-run nonprofit offering grief support to families, scholarships to young artists, and a celebration of life through their annual Love of Life Festival. In This Episode: (0:00:00) – Introducing the Thurgaland Siblings Maya welcomes Elizabeth, Roger (Avery), and Ryan to the show. The three surviving siblings share their family dynamic, what it was like growing up with Kayleigh, and their close-knit, creative household full of love, art, and adventure. (0:05:00) – Each Sibling Shares Their Bond with Kayleigh Elizabeth, the eldest, recalls being a “second mom” figure. Roger reflects on their musical childhood and fatherhood overlapping with grief. Ryan speaks about being the baby of the family and Kayleigh's influence on his love for dance and music. (0:15:00) – The Last Day They Saw Kayleigh Each sibling recounts the day Kayleigh returned home from college. Her final night, the last hug, and the moments leading up to the car accident that took her life. Their vivid, heartbreaking memories capture both the beauty of their bond and the devastation of sudden loss. (0:26:00) – The Accident Elizabeth walks listeners through the frantic hours spent trying to locate Kayleigh after she didn't return home, how she uncovered clues from snapchat, and the devastating moment the family received the news. (0:44:00) – What Happened to Kayleigh Kayleigh and a friend died in a car crash caused by distracted driving and speeding. She was asleep in the passenger seat. The car crossed a median and was struck by an oncoming vehicle. Both passengers were pronounced dead at the scene. [00:46:00] How the Foundation Began The family shares how community support inspired them to start the KLT Foundation, honoring Kayleigh's life through grief support, scholarships, and the Love of Life Festival. [00:51:00] Kayleigh's Art & Words Her artwork and powerful quotes live on—"If any flame could burn forever, it would be our own..."—now used for fundraising and remembrance. [00:53:00] Grieving as a Family Ryan discusses how working together as a family through the foundation is healing, even when it's hard. [00:55:00] Love of Life Festival 2026 Event details for the next Love of Life Festival in Weirsdale, FL—March 7, 2026. Music, art, and remembrance. This episode is sponsored by The Kathryn Leigh Thurgaland Foundation Out of their immense grief, the Thurgalands created the Kathryn Lee Thurgaland Foundation, which serves three powerful missions: Grief Week Support: Helping families during the fragile first days after losing a child. Creative Arts Scholarships: Supporting students pursuing careers in the arts. Love of Life Festival: A free, joy-filled event celebrating life, community, and remembrance. Their motto? “Keep laughing. Keep dancing. Keep singing.” — a phrase pulled from Kayleigh's own journals.

This week, we revisit our episode with Aly Bird, a coach, an author, a therapist-in-training, and a widow who is the author of the wisdom-filled book titled Grief Ally: Helping People You Love Cope with Death, Loss, and Grief. When Aly was 30 years old, the person she loved and trusted most in her life suddenly died, leaving her in a world that no longer made sense.In the aftermath of her loss, Aly quickly realized that her positive experience of support was unique and unlike the horror stories of isolation and ignorance that she was hearing from her widowed peers. With unconditional love, courage, and brutal honesty, Aly and her support network began navigating how to live in her new reality, and this collective experience inspired her to write her wisdom-filled book. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL HEAR ABOUT THINGS LIKE:The terrible cliches people say to the grieving that are more harmful than helpful.What happened during a party about three months after Will transitioned that inspired Aly to write Grief Ally.Aly's experience with a workshop instructor that convinced her that we need to shift the way we support people who are grieving.Ways Aly now advises people to show up for a grieving friend or relative.

I just got back from a really amazing backpacking trip in the wilderness of Wyoming, and I've been reflecting on how nature, wilderness, sacred lands, whatever you want to call them, have always been a source of refuge, spiritual rejuvenation, and healing for humans.But a question I and so many others are grappling with right now is, how do we continue to find inspiration and healing in a world that is being so deeply harmed.My guest today is author, travel writer, and speaker, Adam Sawyer.  Adam is leading a series of facilitated discussions through the Oregon Humanities Project around grieving in nature and addiction recovery in nature.Adam talks and writes openly and beautifully about how nature helped heal him on his journey through addiction and grieving, and I am thankful to be able to share this conversation with you all.I love hearing feedback, guest ideas, or just a hello, and you can reach me at coastrangeradio@gmail.com or on the coast range radio instagram feed.Show Notes:https://adamsawyer.substack.comhttps://adamsawyer.com/https://oregonhumanities.org/programs/conversation-project/https://www.instagram.com/coastrangeradio/

More and more people are using generative AI to “resurrect” deceased loved ones. There are tools that can turn an old photograph into a short animation or create entire "AI clones" trained on old audio, video or written diaries. These technological advancements are taking memorializing the dead to a whole new level, but is it healthy? Marketplace's Meghan McCarty Carino spoke to psychologist Elaine Kasket, who specializes in mental health issues and technology, for some answers.

In this heartfelt episode of Warriors Unmasked, Chuck sits down with Shaun Murphy, a father, entrepreneur, and man of deep faith, for an open conversation about grief, identity, and rediscovering purpose. After the unexpected loss of his father, Shaun found himself questioning everything—his path, his business, and even his faith. Through that pain, he discovered the power of presence, the importance of slowing down, and a deeper connection to his calling. If you've ever faced loss or felt called to pivot into a more intentional life, this conversation will remind you that growth doesn't always come from force, but from surrender.

Send me a text! I'd love to know what you're thinking!Ministry can stir up all kinds of feelings, especially when we're dealing with conflict, with grief, with change. And the better we understand what's happening beneath the surface, the better we can lead ourselves—and our people—more thoughtfully and more effectively.In this episode, I'm speaking with Dr. Audrey Davidheiser, a licensed psychologist and the author of Grieving Wholeheartedly. Audrey helps us understand something called Internal Family Systems—IFS—a powerful way of thinking about our inner world and all those “parts” of us that can get in the way of effective leadership.THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:Audrey Davidheiser explains what drew her to Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy.Internal Family Systems is a psychological model that views people as having multiple internal "parts."Parts of yourself often express themselves in day-to-day decisions, sometimes even in conflict with each other.Markus Watson clarifies that having "parts" is different from dissociative identity disorder or multiple personalities.Audrey Davidheiser explains the difference between parts in IFS and the rigid, unaware system found in Dissociative Identity Disorder.Internal Family Systems builds on the foundation of family systems theory, adapting it to the internal world.Inside everyone are parts that take on different roles, often formed in response to significant experiences, such as trauma or relational wounds.Markus Watson illustrates the concept with the example of feeling different internal responses to everyday situations like going to a late-night movie.Every person has both helpful and challenging internal parts, such as critics, achievers, or comfort-seekers, and these parts influence behavior.Audrey Davidheiser introduces three types of parts in IFS: exiles (hurt parts), managers (protective parts), and firefighters (distracting/soothing parts).Parts are not inherently bad; even when their actions are destructive, they are typically trying to protect us or relieve pain.Markus Watson inquires about the relationship between sin and IFS, prompting Audrey Davidheiser to articulate how parts can miss the mark despite good intentions.Pastors can benefit from understanding their own internal parts, especially when reacting to challenging questions or situations in ministry.Audrey Davidheiser suggests the practice of being "unblended"—letting the true Self, rather than an emotional part, lead when responding to others.Leaders who operate from their "Self" (instead of from a part) can foster healthier responses and guide their communities through change with greater empathy and wisdom.RELEVANT RESOURCES AND LINKS:Audrey DavidheiserAim For Breakthrough websiteBooks mentioned:Grieving Wholeheartedly, by Audrey DavidheiserRelated Episodes:262: From Fired to Flourishing, with Chuck DeGroat254: Endless Expectations and Emotional ExhaustionGet Becoming Leaders of Shalom for free HERE.Click HERE to get my FREE online course, BECOMING LEADERS OF SHALOM.

A Waynesboro man is on a mission to improve safety for everyone on the road after his daughter, Robyn, died tragically in New York City while doing bicycle messenger work in 2019. Three weeks after their death, his younger daughter, Rachel, who was doing a training ride, was hit by the driver of a car in Charlottesville. Rachel, thankfully, was not seriously injured in the bicycle crash. “Think about that for a moment,” Jay Hightman told AFP. “I nearly lost both of my children to road violence in that brief amount of time.”

My guest is Dr. David DeSteno, PhD, a professor of psychology at Northeastern University. We discuss science, God and religion, including what science can and can't reveal about the existence of God and where religious faith and science do and do not align. We also discuss why questions about life's origins, miracles and the afterlife have persisted across time. Dr. DeSteno explains how religious rituals cause meaningful improvements in mental and physical health and how prayer and gratitude can markedly reduce stress, increase honesty and compassion and buffer against loneliness and despair. Finally, we explore what distinguishes religions and mission-based communities from cults, and we discuss the role that communities such as 12-step and Burning Man play in modern life.
