Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Sheri explains cognitive dissonance and why it is essential to take steps to protect and ground yourself after a spouse has betrayed you. Many people wonder how men and women can survive in a world with OnlyFans and AI girlfriends, and New Life LIVE radio hosts discuss strategies for maintaining healthy relationships. January sees a rise in breakups as many couples postpone ending relationships until after the holidays, and the radio hosts explain why this trend occurs. What should I do after confessing my infidelity to my husband? How can I heal my marriage and make things right? How can you support someone who is struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts? And what can they do themselves?
Caller Questions & Discussion: Chris shares that he struggles to cry, but every Christmas Eve he gets the gift of tears. Let your tears teach you what is most important and most hopeful in life. Chris also shares that our emotions are a muscle; if his sad muscles get strengthened, then his resiliency for sadness increases. If you live your life to avoid loss, you will also avoid life. What are one or two ways to start trusting God when trusting anyone is difficult or feels impossible? I'm in a new church, and they've said you shouldn't really be in the presence of the opposite sex; how do I not let that throw me off spiritually?
Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Alice invites us to turn off our screens to put time and attention into our family. How do I cope with going no contact with my elderly parents for the second time? Their words aren't life-giving. I've been married for two years, and my wife is separated from me because my anxiety is stopping me from living life. Do I tell my teen kids that their mom is a narcissist so they can learn to cope? I struggled with marijuana addiction my whole life until I gave my life to Jesus!
Caller Questions & Discussion: Staying home and being isolated at Christmas? JJ shares what you can do to have joyful holidays. Should I reach out to the other grandmother of my grandson? Her son and my daughter used to date, and their young son is not living with my daughter. My son was raised by my mother as my brother, and he wants to stay with me at Christmas; should I let him? My young teen is being bullied for not using social media—how can I help? What should I do if I've been taking asthma medication that gives me suicidal thoughts?
Caller Questions & Discussion: Marc shares about family dynamics and why it is so hard to be an adult when we go home for the holidays. I have full guardianship of my wife with severe depression and she refuses treatment; how do I cope with feeling stuck after trying everything?

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jill shares that asking where God is in your circumstance may not be a question; it may be a protest because you want it to be different (from Dr. John Townsend's book Where Is God?). After getting sober, my young adult son has ignored me, even after he had a baby. Should I pursue a relationship with my half-sisters? My stepfather sexually abused me, and they believe him instead of me. What's the next step for moving forward with my life after my husband left to move to another state? What advice would you give your younger self just starting in counseling? I'm completing my Licensed Professional Counselor requirements this year.
Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jill explains how to cope with road rage and retail rage using the Golden Rule from Matthew 7:12 and Luke 6:31. Why have I always had a problem with kissing on the mouth, even after 60yrs of marriage? What should I do if my gay son’s partner is pressuring him to get married, and he asked me if I'd go to their wedding? How can I deal with bitterness? Many of my friends are either dating or married and I'm almost 30yo and single. What can I do to fix myself to stop getting into relationships with women I need to fix?
Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jim explains that other people's choices do not define you, so instead of overthinking their actions, focus on loving them where they are. Why am I avoiding travel to see my children and grandchildren? Is it selfishness, or could fatigue, allergies, or other issues be holding me back? After nearly 40yrs of marriage, I've fallen out of love with my husband. He hasn't worked for years and much of our savings is gone. I'm a pastor and was demoted after my church conference questioned the money my church brought in; how do I process this? After electroconvulsive therapy for depression and bipolar disorder, I feel disconnected from my adult sons.
Caller Questions & Discussion: Becky discusses how many of us struggle during the holidays and reminds us that even in a hard season, God is with us. Thank you for praying for my family member, who was struggling with addiction but is now experiencing the holidays sober for the first time! As a single grandmother, how can I talk to my adult children about feeling abandoned during Christmas, even when some of them live nearby? I've been friends with a man for a year, but our relationship has had many ups and downs; should I talk to him about my feelings? How can I set healthy boundaries with my 26-year-old son? He has oppositional disorder and only contacts me to ask for money.

One of the most troubling aspects of cult dynamics is the way they generate self‑reinforcing histories that can become chaotic and fragmented, leaving individuals disoriented within the broader narrative. We need knowledgeable guides who can help us navigate these stories while providing a grounding in their historical context. I wrote Chapter Three of my book, The Cult of Trump, about the parallels with Jones, Moon, and Hubbard. Don Lattin, this week's podcast guest, concurred, though he personally likened Trump more closely in his mind to Jim Jones, whose leadership culminated in the historic tragedy at Jonestown. Lattin is a long-established and award-winning religion reporter. His work has been published in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The San Francisco Chronicle. Both of us agreed that Trump exhibits traits of malignant narcissism and appears to be steering the United States toward escalating threats and harms. The MAGA movement itself is a cult, is led by cults, and has demented authoritarian leadership written all over it. Don Lattin is a journalist who has specialized in writing about religions, cults, psychedelic history, cultural norms, and other fascinating topics since the 1970s. He's written seven books, including Jesus Freaks – a True Story of Murder and Madness on the Evangelical Edge and Changing Our Minds: Psychedelic Sacraments and the New Psychotherapy. He is also the author of The Harvard Psychedelic Club: How Timothy Leary, Ram Dass, Huston Smith, and Andrew Weil Killed the Fifties and Ushered in a New Age for America. I had the great pleasure of listening to his Substack channel recently and am honored to bring him on for an episode of Cults, Culture & Coercion. Learn more about your ad choices.

Caller Questions & More: Marc explains that codependency is the belief, “I need you to be okay so that I can be okay.” My husband wants me to apologize for accusing him of having an affair because of a text I saw. Should I confront him or let it go? What's the best way to balance being a pastor with attending all the sporting events my five sons and twelve grandkids want me to go to? I'm almost 84 and have struggled with long-term depression, especially after my husband of nearly 64 years passed away. I feel like my prayers are awkward by myself, and I'd like to pray with my husband; any thoughts on how we can change that?

Caller Questions & More: Dr. Jim discusses the Toxic Family Test and how it can reveal patterns in your family of origin. I feel God is calling me to go back to my dysfunctional family in the Midwest after moving to Virginia to become a life coach; how do I know what to do? I mistrust people and fear they want to hurt me; when Saul was given over to a spirit of fear, can that happen today? Our 22-year-old son sleeps or plays video games after work and won't help around the house; what do we do? How can I support my daughter's emotional well-being while staying true to my values?

Caller Questions & More: Dr. Jacqui explains how self-fulfilling prophecies, such as parents calling their children lazy, trap us in negative emotions. How do I talk to my teen kids that live with their dad now? They are only hearing bad things about my past. My ex-husband is transitioning to a woman, and his parents are blaming me; what is my role in this? What do I do if my six older siblings treat me like an outsider and don’t want to spend the holidays with me? The hosts discuss God placing the lonely in families in Psalm 68:5-6, and how to grieve what’s out of your control.
RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL betting for Week 15. The podcast opens with RJ Bell describing the show structure and promoting a discounted full-year picks package before shifting into Week 15 NFL betting talk with Steve Fezzik and Mackenzie Rivers. They discuss recent results, handicapping philosophies, line-movement dynamics, weather effects, and bookmaker behavior, mixing in anecdotes about old betting practices, phonemen, and language quirks around point-spread terminology. Fezzik gives his “polar vortex prop of the year,” longest field goal under 49.5 in Browns-Bears, citing brutal weather, weak kickers, conservative coaching, and low-scoring game scripts; RJ adds correlation angles tied to Chicago leads. They debate EPA versus success rate, with Fezzik preferring EPA and RJ emphasizing variance and predictability concerns. Mackenzie delivers a Chargers team total under pick based on QB injuries, offensive struggles, Kansas City's defensive resilience, and adverse weather. RJ argues the Chiefs' motivational profile, dynasty fatigue, and market perception. They dive into league-wide context, historical dynasties, roster construction challenges, aging curves, and whether Kansas City's run is ending. They discuss tight end props in Bengals-Ravens, citing Cincinnati's chronic vulnerability to the position and prior matchup evidence, plus anytime-TD correlation. The show includes debate over bad beats, especially the Raiders-Broncos ending, contentious officiating, end-game decision logic, and media reactions. They analyze Saints-Panthers, emphasizing New Orleans' defensive improvement, Carolina's inability to win as a favorite, quarterback evaluation stakes, and correlated RB usage props on Hubbard and D'Onta Foreman/Dowdle-type roles. They examine scheduling spots, letdowns, weather-driven live-betting opportunities, and in-game market inefficiencies. There are extended side conversations on quarterback development, work ethic, coaching influence, the rarity of late-career improvements, comparisons to poker variance, and examples like Caleb Williams, Sam Darnold, Richardson, Leaf, Mahomes, and coaching trees. They explore NFL history, Jerry Rice's longevity, statistical dominance, and position-based greatness debates. Additional analysis covers Rams-Lions, revenge narratives, McVay/Campbell trend conflicts, and market sharpness revealing how highly the Rams are now rated. They break down Colts-Seahawks amid QB uncertainty, massive line moves, historical precedent for non-QB quarterbacks like Kendall Hinton, and franchise-level psychological impacts of late-season injuries. They also explore Jets-Jags, weather, totals, and line influences. Throughout, they mix strategic betting heuristics, seasonal pattern tracking, notes-keeping practices, and philosophical reflections on variance, coaching, and market expectations. The episode blends picks, trends, analytics, storytelling, and humorous riffs into a wide-ranging conversation driven by handicapping logic and market interpretation.

Structured in two almost novella-like sections, “Hard Margins” follows Wyoming's Towuk tribe. The story begins in the spring of 1958 and is told by Danny Hubbard, a Korean war veteran, who has taken this remote BIA position for a chance to remake his life...Out of a mixture of duty and boredom, Hubbard begins to read the reports written by his BIA predecessors, dating back to the 1870s, looking for answers. It's here he discovers the record left by Agent Dorrance, who almost religiously believed in his mandate, to work “for the welfare and improvement of the Indians.”Dorrance is an amazing creation, a man who can be admired and reviled on the same page. A Civil War veteran turned correspondent for Horace Greeley's New York Tribune, he quickly becomes a devotee of Greeley's idea of an agrarian utopia in the West, made famous with the phrase, “Go West, young man.”We often think that ideas such as Manifest Destiny and the needs of a growing population made western expansion a fait accompli, but Delaney's novel reminds readers about the mood of the country after the Civil War.The long, bloody conflict gave rise to a generation who wanted to believe their sacrifice meant something, which led many to utopian philosophies about how the spiritual connection of men to the land could undo the corruption of governments and cities. For many, the supposedly unpopulated West could be a chance to reinvent America, and leave behind the worst aspects of human nature.Edward J. Delaney is an award-winning author, journalist, and filmmaker. His books include the novels Follow the Sun, Broken Irish, and Warp & Weft, and the short story collection The Drowning and Other Stories. His short fiction has also been published in The Atlantic and Best American Short Stories, and featured on PRI's Selected Shorts program. Among other honors, he has received the PEN/New England Award, O. Henry Prize, and a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship. He is also the co-author of Born to Play, by Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia. As a journalist, Delaney has written for publications including the Denver Post and Chicago Tribune, received the National Education Reporting Award, and has served as an editor at the Neiman Journalism Lab at Harvard University. As a filmmaker, he has directed and produced documentary films including The Times Were Never So Bad: The Life of Andre Dubus and Library of the Early Mind.Born and raised in Massachusetts, Delaney has also spent time in Georgia, Florida, and Colorado, and now lives in Rhode Island, where he teaches at Roger Williams University and edits the literary journal Mount Hope.#authorpodcast #podcast #edwardjdelaney #speakingofwriterspodcast

Caller Questions & More: Chris discusses Proverbs 16:2 and how God cares about our motives. I've been unemployed, just had surgery, and am facing homelessness; where do I go from here? Why is it so hard to leave my narcissistic husband who says he's leaving our house and retirement to his kids? Should I continue to give my adult son gifts for Christmas if he is paranoid and says Christians are responsible for all the problems in the country? My 18-year-old daughter is dating a boy from her church youth group and they are talking about getting married; how do I have a conversation with her?
Send us a textA ship. A hotel turned school. A childhood taught to keep secrets. Pamela Nicole Williams joins us to trace a rare, ground-level history of Scientology—from her parents' early work around Hubbard in D.C. and training at St. Hill to life aboard the Royal Scotman before the Sea Org took full shape. Her memoir, Clearly Lies Are True, threads vivid scenes with careful research to show how a movement's promises filtered into family routines, language, and choices that shaped a child's sense of safety.We explore the practices that defined those years: touch assists, TRs, personality tests, and the sales script built around “ruins.” Pamela explains how teens get “voluntold” into service, why labels like suppressive person keep people in line, and how sincere belief can coexist with control and abuse. She brings us into the moment repressed memories resurfaced—what it means to question your own mind, how secrecy trained in a high-control group amplifies silence, and why naming sexual abuse is both terrifying and liberating. Along the way, we connect personal timelines to Scientology milestones: early clears, St. Hill culture, the Royal Scotman's shortages, and the pivot to the Sea Org.This is also a story about repair. Pamela shares how writing became a tool for healing, how she told her adult daughters the truth to break generational silence, and why forgiveness—without forgetting—was the only way out of lifelong anger. We talk practical support too: she donates a portion of book proceeds to the Aftermath Foundation to help people who leave Scientology rebuild with housing, jobs, and community. If you care about cult recovery, childhood trauma, or the mechanics of indoctrination, you'll find hard truths, clear language, and real hope here.Listen, share with someone who needs it, and leave a review to help others find the show.

Caller Questions & More: Marc discusses the signs of depression and how to treat it.

I struggle with depression, use marijuana, and have had suicidal thoughts; how can I find happiness beyond material things?

Caller Questions & More: Dr. Jill shares the art of gift giving, focusing on thoughtful gifts over expensive. How do I move forward with my adult daughter, who is very manipulative and disrespectful to me? She was sexually abused as a child. After my wife discovered my porn use 5 years ago and I stopped, I feel like I don't have any emotions. Should I confront my adult daughter who makes questionable choices about relationships? She is a Christian, but she moved in with a guy after one month. I've been married for 7 months; can a woman of God be a modern wife and a traditional wife at the same time?
Simon told you yesterday about the situation with the Sioux Center Public Library allowing inappropriate books in the hands of children. Today he has even MORE on the situation when he talks live to Teri Hubbard, the SCPL board member who seems to be the lone voice standing for our children
Caller Questions & More: Dr. Jill discusses how generosity builds resiliency and blesses us in return. My girlfriend has been diagnosed with covert narcissism; if a person has a psychological limitation, where do they stand in relationship with Christ? How can I do an intervention if my daughter has children and is using drugs, asks for money, and will be homeless? My daughter is a Christian but isn't telling her 8yo son about the Lord; how do I have a conversation with her?
Craig and Arkansas friend Misty Hubbard trace their journey from “vote harder” conservatism to No King but Christ. They talk about propaganda, “paid patriotism,” online Christian rage, compassion that crosses borders, and why the solution isn't a better party but a deeper allegiance to Jesus and His Kingdom. How Mike Gaddy shattered Misty's sense of civic religion, with the haunting question “When have you ever voted yourself more free?”, and what happens when your faith starts sounding more like a campaign ad than the Sermon on the Mount. In the end, this isn't a call to find a better party; it's an invitation to step out of the culture war and into small, local communities where people quietly learn to look, and love, more like Jesus. What's Inside this Episode: How “vote harder” patriotism discipled them more than Jesus The path Misty took that broke her founding myths and civic religion Propaganda, “paid patriotism,” and how getting back to Jesus expands compassion Online Christian rage vs. everyday kindness at work (and what Jesus has to say about it) Why the solution isn't apathy, but deeper allegiance to Christ's Kingdom Power and importance of small, local groups (like Misty's in Russellville) as quiet deprogramming from empire

Caller Questions & More: Dr. Alice shares the story about Dr. Charles Mulli from Kenya, who was abandoned at a young age and later called by God to take in thousands of street children. Is it a good idea to take away my 14yo son’s pet as a consequence? He spends more time with his pet than with his responsibilities. Should I go to babysit my four grandkids at Christmas if my daughter blew up at me after I asked if my husband could come? My adult daughters stopped talking to me at my daughter's wedding; any tips for me? I am a hospice chaplain; how do I respond to a family who believed in complete healing because of their faith?
Caller Questions & More: Becky discusses how, instead of making our hearts small like Scrooge and the Grinch, we should look for ways to expand our hearts on Giving Tuesday. How can I reach my adult crack-addicted son? I kicked him out because he smoked crack in my home. What should I do if I want to address something that bothers me, and the other person makes the conversation about something way unrelated? How do I become comfortable around my aging mother? I feel bad about not feeling comfortable around her. My husband was unfaithful for 30 years with one woman and is an emotional anorexic; how do I get him to understand?
Send us a textThe glossy reels say “global help.” The insiders tell a different story. We sit down with director Mitch Brisker to map how Scientology reengineered Narconon after multiple deaths, shifted operations from the secretive International Base to Los Angeles, and used a made-for-TV sheen to mask liability and control. Mitch was there through the rewrites, the SMP launch, and the clampdowns—and he explains how the organization manufactures impact with paid “PSAs,” inflated statistics, and a media pipeline that looks impressive but rarely reaches real audiences.We pull back the curtain on the Hole and the daily mechanics of punishment: segregated meal times, frog-marched lines of staff, and the phrase “PTS to the middle class” used to shame normal life choices. Mitch charts the rise and fall of key enforcers, including leaders who went from running a 300-person studio to sewing buttons in a laundry building. He also walks us through the film lab that out-resolved Hollywood with Kodak's help, yet sat underused because it served only in-house projects—a perfect metaphor for a system obsessed with control over outcomes.Then there's the archive project: CST vaults sealing Hubbard's writings on etched plates and lectures on gold records, complete with a hand-cranked, solar-capable player. The goal was legitimacy and permanence; the result feels like doomsday optics. Meanwhile, AI models learn from what the world actually watches, which means critical reporting increasingly shapes public understanding while official channels stagnate. If you've wondered how Scientology really works—from Narconon lawsuits to SMP's internal culture and those mountain vaults—this conversation connects the dots with first-hand detail.Enjoy the episode, share it with someone curious about high-control groups, and leave a review to help others find the show.

On this episode of Cults, Culture & Coercion, I sat down with one of my most trusted colleagues and best friends, Jon Atack—author, artist, poet, musician, and the recognized world expert on Scientology. Jon's latest book, If Scientology Ruled the World: Nazi Occultists, Sex Magick, Space Aliens, and the Second Coming, begins with a chilling thought experiment: what if Scientology actually took power? To be clear: Jon does not believe that Scientology — which is facing serious challenges in maintaining current members and recruiting new ones — could ever gain enough popularity to control any government, let alone all the world's governments. Still, with its extreme beliefs and ruthless disregard for human rights, Scientology could serve as a stand-in for any authoritarian movement. And there are many active Scientology offshoots. As I argue in my book The Cult of Trump, authoritarianism exists worldwide, and harmful groups influence politics through lobbyists, cash, and manufactured populism. Maybe a Scientology group won't take over, but the idea that a destructive movement could dominate a nation, or even the world, isn't far-fetched. In this book, Jon connects the dots with Nazi occultism and Hubbard, destroys eugenics, Nazi Aryan race theory, and so much more. With Nazism on the rise worldwide, this is a really important book—easy to read yet fastidious in its research. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Send us a textA holiday shouldn't require a stopwatch. We open up about what Thanksgiving and Christmas looked like inside Scientology's Sea Org—15-minute meals stretched to 45, staged fireplace photos mailed home as “proof of life,” and a steady drumbeat that family time was off-purpose. While most people are baking pies and booking flights, we were filing petitions, dodging “PTS” labels, and watching “important” church holidays turn into sales marathons dressed up as celebrations.We break down the difference between civilian Scientologists and Sea Org life, from catalog-driven “gifting” and CD Walkmans to the annual wave of winter illness used to justify investigations and denied leave. You'll hear how “beer and cheese parties” shrank into warm soda and crackers, why big events like Hubbard's birthday and the IAS anniversary outranked Thanksgiving and Christmas by design, and what it does to your sense of money when a $100 bonus feels like oxygen and disappears in a single sweater at an outlet mall.Then we pivot to rebuilding: hosting sprawling Thanksgivings, creating photo books full of candid chaos, teaching our kids that dinner together is normal, and finding joy in small traditions that don't need permission. We also share practical, low-drama ways to reach relatives still inside—letters that avoid triggers, steady updates, standing invitations—plus why consistency matters even when you get no reply. If you're navigating disconnection or planning your own exit, you're not alone.
