Calley Means has spent years pulling back the curtain on some of the most powerful industries in America, and what he shared with me was eye-opening. We talked about his journey from working inside the political machine to becoming a senior adviser to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and now one of the most outspoken critics of the food, pharmaceutical, and healthcare industries. Calley explained why he believes the health of our country starts with what we eat, and how the system is stacked against ordinary Americans from the time we are kids in school. He did not sugarcoat the reality. The statistics are dark, the incentives are broken, and the industries making billions off our sickness do not want to change. But Calley also brought hope by sharing why he still believes America can turn this around, what he is fighting for alongside RFK Jr. and Donald Trump, and the changes that could actually make us healthy again. This was a challenging and fascinating conversation that will make you question what you have been told about health, medicine, and the food on your plate.

Could the mind-body connection be the key to prevent or reverse diseases such as ALS and pave the way for greater wellness? — In this episode, Maureen Minnehan Jones, a Modus Operandi Emotional Wellness Practitioner, delves into the intricate relationship between the mind and body to explore the potential hidden causes of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. Jones shares insights from Dr. Michael J. Lincoln's book, 'Messages from the Body,' which suggests that diseases have psychological origins rooted in subconscious beliefs. By examining Lou Gehrig's complex relationship with his mother and his lifelong struggle with self-worth, Jones hypothesizes how emotional factors like lack of self-acceptance and feeling unsuccessful may contribute to the onset and progression of ALS. She introduces the Modus Operandi Technique as a complementary healing method to address these emotional aspects, aiming for a deeper, more lasting recovery. The episode also discusses how understanding and addressing these emotional factors could pave the way for greater wellness and potential strategies to prevent or reverse ALS. 00:00 Unveiling the Hidden Aspects of Lou Gehrig's Disease 00:52 Exploring the Mind-Body Connection 01:32 Insights from Dr. Michael J.

The Clockwork Defamation of Jesus and Mary is on Schedule.  Why do the corporate media regularly slime Our Savior and His Mother with libels and blasphemy around Christmas, and during the season of Lent prior to Easter? In today's study we document numerous examples of lies and defamation heaped on Jesus and Mary in the pages of the NY Times, the New Yorker magazine, the Washington Post and Hollywood. Anti-Christian defamation, though presented under the guise of academic research is often indistinguishable from hate speech. Christians have the human right to be free of defamation.

Day 2: Mary, Cause of Our Joy Rejoice! The Lord is with you. (Luke I:28) Let us pray:  Lord God, You were pleased to bring joy to the world through the incarnation of Your Son. You sacrificed Your Son in order to save our souls and enjoy life everlasting. Grant that we, who honor His Mother, the cause of our joy, may always walk in the way of Your commandments with our hearts set on true and lasting joy. Moreover, grant us the grace to share that joy found deep in the words and actions of Mary with everyone we meet. Show us the true joy of living the gospel life – even in our deepest suffering – for You have given Mary the power of helping the miserable. Father of mercy and God of all consolation, grant in Your loving kindness that we who joyfully venerate Mary, as our comforter, may deserve to enjoy the unending happiness of heaven with her.

Acclaimed novelist and Director of the Iowa Writers' Workshop Lan Samantha Chang joins Fiction/Non/Fiction hosts V.V. Ganeshananthan and Whitney Terrell to discuss the role that literary personas may–or may not–have played in recent revelations about Alice Munro, Neil Gaiman, and Cormac McCarthy. Chang discusses how writers often develop literary personas as their public profiles grow. Chang also discusses how personas can be both protective and damaging when they no longer align with the writer's true self, the impact of personas on writers' privacy and the industry's role in shaping and maintaining these personas.

Join Lisa and Laura for our 4-week Advent series, House of Gold. The Virgin Mary is called the House of Gold because she was Jesus' resting place: the one who threw the doors wide open with her YES. Mary made room for Jesus, and she has room in her heart for each one of us, too. In this second week of Advent they unpack the Marian title, Mary, Queen of Peace. Everyone longs for peace, especially at Christmas, but true peace in our hearts and homes is going to take more than lighting a scented candle; we need to set our hearts on fire for Jesus. Who better to help us than His Mother, the Queen of Peace? Get ready to open your heart, open your Bible, and let Peace in! Open your Heart to our key Scripture. Romans 12:2: Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind. Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode. 2 Corinthians 2:14–15: But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumph, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere. For we are the aroma of Christ. Galatians 5:22: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness. John 19:27: Behold, your Mother! Luke 1:38: And Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her. Luke 1:28: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you! Invite Him in with this episode's questions for reflection. This week we have an Advent challenge! Start your day in prayer every day, specifically, praying the Hail Mary (slowly and reflectively). Put yourself in the annunciation story. Hear the angel calling the Holy Spirit down, and ask Him to break down doors that are keeping you from surrendering everything to God.  Show mentions.

Most holy Virgin, who was pleasing to the Lord and became His Mother, immaculate in body and spirit, in faith and in love, look kindly on the wretched who implore thy powerful patronage. The wicked serpent, against whom was hurled the first curse, continues fiercely to attack and ensnare the unhappy children of Eve. Do thou, then, O Blessed Mother, our queen and advocate, who from the first instant of thy conception didst crush the head of the enemy, receive the prayers which, united with thee in our single heart, we implore thee to present at the throne of God, that we may never fall into the snares which are laid out for us, and may all arrive at the port of salvation; and, in so many dangers, may the Church and Christian society sing once again the hymn of deliverance and of victory and of peace. Amen.

There are four guests on this week's special Election Day 2024 episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show. Joe Walsh was a Republican congressman and a leading Tea Party conservative. He is now a prominent conservative voice against Donald Trump and the host of the podcast The Social Contract with Joe Walsh. D. Earl Stephens is the former Managing Editor at Stars and Stripes and the author of Toxic Tales: A Caustic Collection of Donald J. Trump's Very Important Letters. His Substack newsletter is Enough, Already! Steven Beschloss is a journalist and author of several books, including The Gunman and His Mother. His Substack newsletter is America, America. His essays and other work have been featured in The New Yorker, The Washington Post, The New York Times, The New Republic, Smithsonian and The Economist Intelligence Unit, among many others.    Heidi Siegmund Cuda is an Emmy-award winning investigative reporter, filmmaker, and bestselling author. Her Substack newsletter is Bette Dangerous. She is the co-host and producer of RADICALIZED Truth Survives podcast. These four guests share their reasoning behind and predictions about the outcome of the 2024 presidential election and if Vice President Harris will win and American democracy will continue or if Dictator Trump will take power and unleash a reign of terror, revenge, and destruction on his personal and political enemies. This week's guests also offer their expert insights about what happens after the 2024 Election, the necessity of democratic renewal, the likelihood of political violence and unrest, and how deeply broken the American people and their institutions and culture are for Donald Trump to even be the Republican Party's nominee and so very close, again, to victory. Chauncey DeVega offers counsel that the American people and the pro-democracy movement need to prepare for the worst and hope for the best -- and do the necessary hard work -- to ensure the future of their multiracial pluralistic democracy and the American project.

Recently I have come across an anti-Orthodox polemic which rejects our veneration of icons on the grounds that venerating an image painted on a board of Christ, His Mother, or His saints is contrary to the practice of the apostles and of the earliest Church. The objection is stated with some sophistication, and is not the usual fundamentalist reference to the Mosaic Law's proscription of carved statues used in worship (e.g. Exodus 20:4f). This more sophisticated objection acknowledges that there were indeed images of Christ, His Mother, and His saints used in the early Church such as can be found in the funerary art of the catacombs and on the walls of churches (such as that of Dura Europos). But, it points out, there is no evidence that these images functioned as anything more than mere decoration. That is, the people did not come up to the wall to kiss the wall art or venerate the images.

Upon meeting the Holy Virgin Mary, St. Dionysius the Areopagite wrote to the Apostle Paul about his experience with her. This letter is found in the Great Collection of the Lives of Saints of the Orthodox Church on the feast of the Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos, August 15th. https://panagiaquicktohear.com/2016/09/05/the-theotokos-and-st-dionysius-the-aeropagite/

What does it mean to receive Holy Communion with the Blessed Virgin Mary? We must recall that the Eucharist is the continuation of the Incarnation and that this miracle came to us through Our Lady. And so when receive Our Lord at Communion, we should do so in a spirit of thanksgiving to His Mother for bringing Christ into the world.

Do you have a Miraculous Medal? Do you keep it close by?   On The Patrick Madrid Show, Helene from Arizona called in with a great question that you might have wondered too: What makes the Miraculous Medal so miraculous? Here's Patrick's response.    A Brief History: It all started with St. Catherine Labouré, a French nun who received a private vision of the Blessed Virgin Mary back in the 1800s. An angel led her to a chapel where Our Lady asked for a medal to be created, showing her image on one side and powerful symbols on the other. This medal was meant to be a sign of love for God and Mary, and a way to ask for graces that people often miss out on simply because they don't even ask!    Countless Miracles: Since then, there have been countless stories of miracles linked to the Miraculous Medal—healings, conversions, and dramatic transformations. The stories are too many to count now, but they all share something in common: this simple devotion has led people to deeper faith in Jesus and His Mother.   What's It For? Think of the medal like a wedding ring—a visible reminder of your love and devotion. When you feel it or see it, you're reminded of your connection to God. Plus, it's a conversation starter! If someone asks, you get to share your faith. That's always a good thing, right?!    Want to Learn More? Patrick recommends checking out The Miraculous Medal: Stories, Prayers, and Devotions by Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle for some inspiring real-life miracles connected to this devotion. And in case you're wondering—yes, Patrick wears one too!   It's a simple, powerful way to keep your heart close to Our Lady and Jesus. ⛪

Friends of the Rosary, Today, August 8, we celebrate the feast day of St. Dominic of Guzman, founder of the Order of Preachers, the Dominicans. This order, the most powerful in Medieval times, contributed immensely to maintaining the purity of the faith. Among the Dominicans were the most illustrious preachers and contemplatives, saints like Vincent Ferrer, Thomas Aquinas, and Pius V. St. Dominic was also the founder of the devotion of the Holy Rosary of Mary. Across history, saints, popes, and faithful scholars have attributed the origin and spread of the Holy Rosary to St. Dominic.  At the end of the twelfth century, the Church in France was ravaged by the Albigensian heresy, a social evil doctrine. St. Dominic's Rosary preaching, apostolic poverty, and burning zeal for souls would end with the heresy of the Albigensian. St. Dominic was born in Castile, Spain. His Mother, Juana de Aza, had dreamed during her pregnancy that she was carrying in her womb a little dog that held a burning torch between its teeth, and when she gave birth, it set the whole world on fire. St. Dominic would inflame the nations to practice Christian virtue through the Rosary, his example's brightness, and his preaching's fiery ardor. Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!St. Dominic, Pray for Us! Come, Holy Spirit, come! To Jesus through Mary! + Mikel Amigot | RosaryNetwork.com, New York • ⁠August 8, 2024, Today's Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET

At Disneyland or Disney World there's this little boat ride that goes through this long canal where you're surrounded by animated dolls from all over the world. French children, Eskimo children, Arab children, Indian children. You get the idea. And they are all singing to you It's a Small World After All. Don't you want to sing it with me? Probably not. You say, "monotonous lyrics." You hear it about 50 times! It's really cute when they first start singing. And the songs okay for a little while. But by the time you hear it over and over, you're sick and tired of a small, small world. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "The Small World of Self-Focus." You may have never been on the Small World ride, but you still might be sick of a small, small world. You might be living in one and not even realize it. We do realize it's a world of frustration, negative thinking, sameness, and monotony. That's the small world. It's called the world of "me." It's a world of self-focus. God addresses this inwardly focused kind of living in our word for today from the Word of God, 2 Corinthians 5:15. In a selfie world, it's a great scripture to read. "Christ's love compels us. He died for all that those who live should no longer live for themselves." That's supposed to be the radical effect of Christ coming into your life. Radical because it reverses the way we've been thinking since we were babies. At that time, we expected the whole world to revolve around our needs. "Time for me to eat, burp, wake up." No thought for how it's affecting everybody around you. We were just totally focused on ourselves. We're older now, but the baby still wants attention to be on me; wanting my needs to be taken care of, wanting my agenda to be carried out, wanting my issues to be dealt with, wanting my way. In fact, most researchers agree that a lot of us in several generations are really into ourselves. There are two factors that can make you a pretty self-focused person. One is busyness. The other one is pain. Now look at Jesus' example. No one had more to do in a lifetime than He did. You talk about being busy! But He was constantly stopping for others, constantly forgetting himself to meet the needs of others. No one has ever carried more pain than Jesus did. All the grief of all the sins of all the world, of you and of me, yet even during the agony of His crucifixion Jesus is caring about the needs of His Mother, of his friend, John. He's caring for the eternity of the thief next to Him. He's even caring about the people who crucified Him. When you invite Jesus into your life, it's this Jesus you get. And He wants you to be like Him. Not self-focused. A world that's only as big as you are is a world that's too small to live in. Jesus invites you to break out, to start finding the needs around you and doing something about them, to focus on others instead of yourself, to find your life, as He said, by giving it away. Not to lose your life by hanging onto it. This selfless Jesus, who poured out His life for you, the Bible says that when you make Him the center of your life, you open the door for Him to come in and change you and become a new creation in Christ. And that old selfish "me" starts to die. You start to become part of the answer. You start to become someone who is making other people feel important instead of being about how important you are. It begins at His cross - a transformation you could never effect in yourself. I invite you to consider beginning that relationship with Jesus today if you never have. He loved you enough to die for you. He's powerful enough to change you. Isn't it time you began that relationship with Him that can change everything? Tell Him today, "Jesus, I'm Yours." Go to our website to be sure you belong to Him - ANewStory.com. Jesus died so we no longer live for ourselves. Have you been in a small, small world long enough? Then follow Jesus into the big life you were made for.

The journey continues as John and Victor dive deeper into the 7 Deadly Sins. This week's focus is Lust, the "disordered desire for or inordinate enjoyment of sexual pleasure" (Catechism of the Catholic Church [CCC], paragraph 2351). According to Archbishop Fulton Sheen, the key word is inordinate. God Himself associated pleasure with the flesh. Pleasure becomes sinful when we use it as a means instead of an end. Lust distorts the gift of sexuality and causes us to gaze only upon ourselves and our desires. What is the remedy? "The only real escape from the demands of the flesh is to find something more than the flesh to love" (Archbishop Fulton Sheen). Scripture passages to pray with: -Matthew 5:28 -1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 -Romans 8:6 -Psalm 51:10-12 In this episode: -Lust is selfish or perverted love -Acknowledging the gift of our sexuality -Chastity,"the successful integration of sexuality within the person" (CCC 2337), is the virtue that combats lust -There is hope! Call on Jesus and His Mother, turn your gaze from yourself to the ones you love, & view temptation as an opportunity to choose the good

True Crime Tuesday presents The Serial Killer's Son Takes A Wife with Author, Michael Libling In The Serial Killer's Son Takes a Wife, author Michael Libling plunges readers inside the decidedly cursed life of Bobby Blessing, a young man struggling to navigate a reality few people will ever ponder: how to survive having a serial killer for a father in a small town where nothing is forgotten. When readers meet Bobby, he has a new last name and a relatively benign existence as the owner of an ice cream parlor in Saratoga Springs, New York. He is working hard to leave his family's horrific legacy behind, including his mother, who wasn't exactly a sweet treat herself. Michael joins TCT today to break down the characters of Bobby Blessing (Dickens), his serial killer father (Henry Taylor Dickens), His Mother, and his wife Cori, along with Bobby's issues ( which are expansive when you don't know who and what you can trust, including yourself)!
