Like many people who struggle with pornography, Russell was exposed to it at a young age. The desire to use it was overpowering, and it poisoned his heart. “My life [became] completely saturated by it,” he writes, “so much so that it was like a cancer that was deeply rooted into my very fiber.” By God’s grace, he was finally set free of porn’s power—along with other addictions—when he received salvation in Jesus and was transformed from the inside out. “I credit it all to Jesus Christ, . . . [He’s] the one who delivered me,” Russell says. Jeremiah delivered a message from God to Israel that one day He would “put [His] law in their minds and write it on their hearts” (31:33). Under this new covenant, fulfilled in Christ (Hebrews 8:6-13), all people could be transformed by God’s grace through faith. And now, “his Spirit . . . lives in [us]” (Romans 8:11), and God’s moral law has been written on our hearts. For Russell, and for all who believe, the Holy Spirit’s power provides what’s needed to turn from harmful behavior that displeases God and seeks to destroy us. Transformation isn’t always instantaneous or easy. But let’s remember, when we’re dealing with difficult—even addictive—sin, that God can transform our hearts (Jeremiah 31:33). He says, you “will know me” (v. 34 nlt), and we can also know His heart-changing power.

In scholastic debates, they keep score. It’s a competition, and each side wants to win big. All too often, believers think sharing their faith is some kind of competitive debate. If they can score enough points, they win . . . and the other person automatically comes to Christ. But that approach can suddenly end the conversation, and even end the friendship.

We go straight into prayer. Isaiah 58:8 — “Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear…” Psalm 46:9 — “He makes wars cease… He breaks the bow and shatters the spear.” On Boxing Day, searches rise for “global peace,” “healing for nations,” “war news,” and “how to pray for the world.” Hearts feel heavy as conflict continues through the Christmas season. Father, in Jesus' name, we pray for Nigeria, Ukraine, Lebanon and Myanmar. Speak healing where violence wounds communities. Bring peace where fear shapes daily life. Strengthen families displaced from their homes. Protect children living under instability. Heal nations torn by political turmoil, conflict, economic collapse and unrest. Bring wisdom to leaders, courage to peacekeepers, and comfort to people crying out in the night. Let your light break through oppression. Dissolve corruption, silence violence, and restore dignity. Let mercy move across borders. Let hope rise over regions weary from suffering. We declare your sovereignty over every nation and your healing over every land. prayer for nations, prayer for global peace, prayer for war-torn countries, prayer for healing, prayer for justice, prayer for protection, prayer for leaders, prayer for displaced families, prayer for restoration, prayer for international stability Pray Isaiah 58:8 over today's nations and speak peace wherever you are.

On this special Christmas episode, Ryan takes a moment to step back from the usual analysis and share something more personal. This is a day for gratitude—for the team, for the fans, and for everything that makes this community special. Ryan opens up about the recent loss of Uncle Barry, the struggles of seasonal depression, and why this time of year can be difficult for so many. He shares his own journey of faith and encourages anyone struggling to reach out (608-501-0718). From there, it's all about appreciation for what Packers fans have: 35 years of dominance, unforgettable memories with family, and a roster loaded with talent. Ryan defends Brian Gutekunst's recent drafts, makes the case for Rashan Gary getting more respect, and explains why this team—when healthy—could be an absolute powerhouse. Whether it's Jordan Love's development under Matt LaFleur, Jeff Hafley's defensive brilliance, or the emergence of young stars like Evan Williams and Javon Bullard, there's so much to be grateful for heading into 2025 and beyond.

This 16-minute guided meditation invites you to review your Advent meditations, to hold silence on the threshold between Advent and Christmas, and to imagine God’s new life being born again within you. Dear Ones— This guided meditation is for anyone who has been praying throughout Advent and would like to hold a moment of stillness between the longing and hope of Advent, and the celebratory feast of Christmas. You are invited to be still, to wait, to remember, to imagine. We are held in the paradox between what is and what is to come, the paradox between our poverty, our dependence, our frailty and the fullness of life that is poured out to us each and every day. We pause here to acknowledge that tension, to attend to the Holy One who comes anew in us. References in the meditation: Lamentations 3:22-23 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning. Isaiah 43:19 See I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? Prayer of Teilhard de Chardin (excerpted from Hearts on Fire, Praying with the Jesuits) Above all, trust in the slow work of God.We are quite naturally impatient in everything to reach the end without delay.We should like to skip the intermediate stages.We are impatient of being on the way to something unknown, something new. And yet it is the law of all progressthat it is made by passing through some stages of instability—and that it may take a very long time. And so I think it is with you;your ideas mature gradually—let them grow,let them shape themselves, without undue haste.Don't try to force them on,as though you could be today what time(that is to say, grace and circumstances acting on your own good will)will make of you tomorrow. Only God could say what this new spiritgradually forming within you will be.Give Our Lord the benefit of believingthat his hand is leading you,and accept the anxiety of feeling yourselfin suspense and incomplete. Blessings, Dear One…. Contemplative at Home offers guided meditative prayer – space to slow down and listen to the truth that is being born out of God's love for you today – drawing on Ignatian spirituality and at times, Lectio Divina.

Distillation has been a common topic here on Crafted as of late, and we have had the pleasure of speaking with some of the most important names in the American spirits industry. Yet, commercial distillation inevitably limits creativity and innovation.That is not the case for this week's guest, Jesse Wilson, the founder of a pair of companies focused on home distillation, Still It and Chase the Craft. What began as a video series based around a man learning to distill has grown into an exploration of all things spirits innovation - Jesse has now distilled everything from Big Macs to 300 year old absinthe recipes. In this conversation we dive into the history of both companies, the science of distillation, the magic of aging, and the unique insights Jesse has gained from his exploration of supremely small batch spirits production.

2025 Show Notes addendum: In light of the release of C1E100 (the final "non-retrospective" Ch 1), I thought it would also be good to release C2E20 (the final "non-retrospective" Ch 2) as a nice tie-in. Though my production quality has improved somewhat since late 2024, it is nowhere even remotely close to the quantum leap that is the difference between my Dec 2025 and my Jan 2017 production quality difference with C1E1. Channel 2 was a COMPLETELY different kind of show, though. Rather than being a vaguely NPR-esque mixtape-style program that was "less a podcast per se" and more "a late nite FM radio music program which just so happened to go out over the podosphere", Ch 2 was a "proper podcast" with a co-host out of Chicago and myself taking turns sharing tracks and talking about them. We wrapped the show at the end of 2024 because my co-host had been podcasting since 2009, and would be turning 50 in 2025, and so he decided at the end of 2023 that he would be retiring completely from podcasting at the end of 2024, and I didn't feel like replacing him, so we just wrapped it together. Anyway, since we referenced C2E20 and even featured a few tracks from it in C1E100, and since we're rerunning C1E1, I figured I'd rerun this too. By the way: that one upcoming Ch F one-off with Trey Johnson of NintenDomain and W.A.R.T. Radio will be in this exact format - only, obviously, a different co-host. Anyway....enjoy! Also, this rerun will release on Christmas Eve. So, Merry Christmas to anyone who celebrates it - and a belated Happy Hannukah to anyone who celebrates it instead (I celebrate both, myself!) :-D ------------------------------------------------------ orig show notes Today's Broadcast is C2E20, for Theme Thursday, Oct 24th, 2024. All good things must come to an end. Today is the final “regular” (as in, “final non-retrospective” episode - and as opposed to “final all time” episode). This will be the final episode where we bring new tracks to the show, though. So it is still an ending.

What do acclaimed Italian opera tenor Andrea Bocelli, a hideous whiskey-drinking Spanish-speaking monkey puppet, and the daughter of the Queen of Hearts all have in common? Well, apart from that unforgettable evening at Burning Man a few years back, absolutely nothing...until now. For our one and only Christmas episode of 2025, the randomizer is going all the way back to the mid-2020s to pick a trio of Christmas shorts - a Simpsons short where the "Con Te Partirò" guy serenades the most important family in Springfield, an Argentinian sitcom special where a repulsive talking monkey puppet forces holiday cheer down the throat of a depressed widower, and of course a Disney Channel music video where the offspring of a villain infamous for decapitating her subjects demands that Christmas must be bent to her will aesthetically. And if that's not what Christmas is all about, I don't know what is. Wait, yes I do. Join Tony Goldmark, Charlie Callahan, Haley Baker Callahan and Zach Hurst as they try to find excuses not to attend CHUECO'S CHRISTMAS AND OTHER CHRISTMAS SHORTS! Shorts covered in this episode: - The Simpsons Meet the Bocellis in "Feliz Navidad" (2022) - Chueco's Christmas (2023) - Descendants: The Rise of Red "Red Christmas" Music Video (2024) Here's that clip from Castle we mention in this episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0t2_DMOd30 Check out my guests' stuff!

#197 - Forbidden stories aren't just about shock—they're about truth we're often afraid to name. I sat down with author Bria Rose to explore how dark romance gives readers a safe place to wrestle with power, consent, and grief, and how a reimagined Beauty and the Beast can turn survival into self‑love. Bria shares how childhood bullying and a lifelong bond with Belle's courage shaped her voice, then opens the doors to Her Dark Promise, where Belle is the Beast, the castle is in France, and the magic is human: trauma, desire, and the choice to heal on your own terms.We move from Disneyland memories to real‑world cast life—4 a.m. shifts, sunrise yoga at the castle, and the electric joy of cast previews that remind grownups why Walt designed the park for them, too. Then Bria breaks down dark romance with clarity: morally gray leads, explicit trigger notes, and tropey pressure cookers that challenge comfort zones without glamorizing harm. She explains how to retell a classic without infringing copyright—keeping essence, ditching replicas—and why nods like “the gray stuff” land best when anchored by character depth.The publishing journey is a masterclass: a three‑month draft, two years of rewrites, a decisive pivot to self‑publishing, and a learning curve through KDP, keywords, ISBNs, and design. Sixty cold emails led to one yes and a special edition—proof that you only need one door to open. Along the way, Bria centers representation and found family: all types of characters, sign language, and a castle that becomes a refuge for anyone told they don't belong. We wrap with new projects—an audiobook, a HarperCollins imprint deal, a spicy Pinocchio retelling—and practical advice for aspiring writers: write the words, then make them better.If this conversation sparked something in you, tap follow, share it with a friend who loves retellings, and leave a quick review.

Send us a textWhat if the parts of you that feel disqualified are exactly where Christmas begins? We sit with real questions from real people—about doubt, shame, loneliness, and whether God is angry—and respond with a clear, hopeful claim: grace moves first. Not the kind of grace that asks you to pretend, but the kind that meets you in the mess and won't let go.We unpack why the birth of Jesus is more than a nostalgic scene. If God stepped into our world, then love came looking for the skeptic, the misfit, and the tired soul who can't fix themselves. We talk about self-worth through a different lens, where identity is anchored in what Jesus finished, not how well we perform. That flips the script on fear. Perfect love casts out fear because punishment isn't hanging over believers; the cross settled it. From there, change stops being a threat and becomes a response—desires shift, habits soften, and peace begins to outrun anxiety.We also push back on comparisons. No one gets extra portions of the Holy Spirit for looking polished. You're complete in Christ, and your journey is personal, not a scoreboard. Honest conversations with God—over coffee, on a commute, or in quiet—are not rituals to impress but practices that tune your heart to his presence. And if the holidays hurt this year, we sit with that too. Jesus is near to the brokenhearted, and small steps toward community, prayer, and honesty can open space for comfort to do its slow, steady work.If you're ready for hope that doesn't flinch and peace that doesn't depend on perfect circumstances, press play. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs it, and leave a review with one takeaway that gave you courage.Support the showThank you for listening!

What does it actually mean to be a man in today's world? In this conversation, Pastor Joby Martin joins Chad Robichaux to confront what they call a growing manhood crisis inside the church and across culture. From biblical masculinity to responsibility, leadership, courage, repentance, and love, this episode challenges the modern caricatures of manhood and calls men back to their God-given role as providers, protectors, servant leaders, and spiritual anchors for their families.Drawing from Scripture, personal stories, and real-world leadership, Joby explains why strength and tenderness are not opposites and why passivity rooted in fear is devastating families and communities. Whether you're a man searching for direction or someone who wants to understand how strong men shape healthy families and cultures, this episode delivers truth without compromise.Get the book Stand Firm and Act Like Men: https://a.co/d/9ZA1zoELearn more about Church of Eleven22: https://coe22.comFollow Joby: https://www.instagram.com/jobypmartinRESILIENT:Live Resilient Store: https://shop.theresilientshow.comJoin Our Patreon: https://patreon.com/theresilientshowFollow Us On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/resilientshowFollow Us On Twitter: https://twitter.com/resilientshowFollow Us On TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@resilientshowFollow Chad:https://www.instagram.com/chadrobo_officialhttps://www.x.com/chadroboChad's Jacket is from: https://thenormalbrand.comChad's Jeans are from: https://devil-dog.comSPONSORS:Smith & Wesson: https://www.smith-wesson.com/Vortex Optics:https://vortexoptics.comGatorz Eyewear: https://www.gatorz.com/Allied Wealth:https://alliedwealth.comBioPro+: https://www.bioproteintech.com/CHAD30BioXCellerator:https://www.bioxcellerator.comThe Holy Waters:https://theholywaters.comGet The Resilient Show x Uncharted Supply Co Bag: https://shop.theresilientshow.comSLNT: https://slnt.comTRS is a proud supporter of military & first responder communities in partnership with Mighty Oaks Foundation.

About the Show:"The lives that were lost were beautiful lives. Yeah, I think it's easy to just think of them as a statistic. And I want to honor the beauty that we lost. For sure, we can do that through the beauty of art." – Monica MooreIn this episode of I Am Northwest Arkansas®, host Randy Wilburn sits down with artist Monica Moore to talk about the COVID Hearts Project—a powerful public memorial honoring the over 13,000 Arkansans lost to COVID-19.

Fern and Audrey are back, and they're not pulling punches. After 30 years of working with survivors of satanic ritual abuse and trauma-based mind control, they've seen the church get it wrong over and over—rushing to deliverance while ignoring the broken human sitting in front of them. In this episode, they explain why that approach fails, what real healing looks like, and how to tell the difference between a demon and a dissociated part of someone's fractured mind.They also drop a bombshell: in 2015, they handed evidence of Epstein's Island to the FBI, and watched it disappear into the bureaucracy. The dismissal, they say, is just as evil as the abuse. But there's hope in this darkness. Survivors who begin to differentiate—who start to reclaim their own thoughts and recognize their value—don't go back. And the church is slowly waking up. The question Fern and Audrey leave us with is haunting: if darkness is pursuing humanity this hard, why aren't we?Not a member yet?

Our card this week is Paris Matthews, the 6 of Hearts from Florida. In the spring of 2013, Paris Matthews was enjoying an evening at home when he heard a knock at the door. Someone on the other side called out their name – but Paris knew that was impossible. Seconds later, before he could piece together why someone was lying … Paris was shot, and the years-long search for his killer began. Investigators have had to weed through rumors, finger-pointing, strange text messages, and a CODIS hit that wasn't what it seemed, but it might take someone out there to come forward for this mystery to finally be solved.If you have any information about the murder of Paris Matthew in April 2019 in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, please contact the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office at 850-651-7400 or contact Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers at 850-863-TIPS.
