Eighteen thousand tips and counting. Body language experts on every platform. Family videos analyzed frame by frame by people who've never worked a case. The Nancy Guthrie investigation has become a national obsession — and everyone thinks they're qualified to solve it.Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke spent twenty-one years at the Bureau, including time as Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program. He knows how to read people. He also knows the difference between professional behavioral assessment and what happens when millions of untrained observers decide they can spot guilt from a two-minute video.In this interview, Dreeke breaks down the audience problem. The Guthrie family is performing grief under a microscope — they know every word will be analyzed, every pause interpreted, every gesture judged. That self-consciousness changes how they present themselves. And then the public reads those changes as suspicious.Investigators are drowning in tips from people who genuinely believe they've spotted something. Most are wrong. Some are based on nothing more than gut feelings after watching videos online. How do you filter signal from that kind of noise?And the perpetrator is part of the audience too. Watching the coverage. Tracking the theories. Seeing how close — or how far — the investigation appears to be.Is all this attention helping solve the case? Or is it making everything harder?#NancyGuthrie #RobinDreeke #TrueCrimeToday #FBIBehavioral #AmateurDetectives #SavannahGuthrie #BodyLanguage #TipLine #InternetSleuths #MissingPersonJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What if the very emotion that makes you feel strong and protected is the same one quietly affecting your health? It's more common than you might think — and it's one of the many counterintuitive aspects of the mind-body connection. In today's episode of Heal Yourself, Change Your Life, Brandy Gillmore shares two powerful insights from her recent work with a wonderful volunteer named Debbie: • Why an external trigger — whether an accident, medication, or injury — is almost never the full story • How certain emotions can feel good or protective — and yet subtly impact your health, happiness, and life at a deeper level If you've ever felt like your health issue began with something external and couldn't possibly be connected to your mind… or if you've tried everything and still feel stuck, this episode is for you. Note: This episode includes discussion of allergic reactions to medications. These discussions do not recommend starting, stopping, or changing any prescription medication. The information shared is not medical advice and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult your licensed healthcare provider regarding any questions or concerns about medications or allergic reactions. Do you want to see proof of the power of the mind in a medical journal?

Carl and Zinno open up the show with some NBA talk and share their thoughts on what may be wrong with the league which is resulting in the interest level seeming to be taking a dip. As they discuss, Zinno notes why he believes super teams and load management are major contributing factors.

As a Jesus Follower, You Live in a World of Hurting People; and You Have their Answer - Are You Sharing the Answer with Others? MESSAGE SUMMARY:  Even though we are followers of Jesus, we live in a world of hurting people; but we have the answer to their pain. God has blessed us so that we might be a blessing to others, and He has healed us so that we might provide God's healing powers to others. He has saved us so that we might be His ambassadors. While we have the answer, we keep the answer to ourselves in the way we live and by not speaking about Jesus to others. Before Jesus Ascension, He instructed us, in Matthew 28:16-20, that we must “Go” and tell others about the answer, which the Gospel provides, by “making Disciples”: “Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.'”. Therefore, you must communicate the Answer of Jesus and the Gospel to others through both your “talk” and the way that you “walk” in your life. Walk the walk and talk the talk to share Jesus with others.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, I acknowledge that I prefer to ignore and deny my pain and loss. I struggle with seeing how resurrection life can come out of death. Grant me the courage to pay attention to what you are doing, and to wait on you — even when everything in me wants to run away. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 114). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because of I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Evil Ways. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Goodness. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

It's Thursday, February 12th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Olympics can prompt prayer among Christian viewers (Audio of Olympic theme song) Over 3,500 athletes from 93 countries are competing at the 2026 Winter Olympics Games in Milan, Italy this month. Fourteen of these countries are on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most oppressive places to be a Christian. Those countries include Eritrea, Nigeria, Pakistan, Iran, India, and China.  Open Doors has a message for Christian viewers of the Olympics. They said, “Use the Olympics in a potentially surprising way: to pray.  … Take a moment to think about the situation of your brothers and sisters in that country and pray for it.” You can reference the organization's prayer guide for each country through a link in our transcript today at TheWorldview.com.  Ephesians 6:18 says, “Pray at all times in the Spirit with every prayer and request, and stay alert with all perseverance and intercession for all the saints.” Canadian gunman killed 10 people at school Tragically, a transgender shooter opened fire at a Canadian school on Tuesday, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Jesse Strang, a 17-year-old male pretending to be a female while wearing a dress, reportedly killed 10 people including himself.  He also injured 25 people. It's Canada's deadliest school shooting in decades.   The shooting took place at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in northeastern British Columbia which has fewer than 200 students enrolled in Grades 7 through 12. Chris Elston, a Canadian pro-family activist, said, “He was a young man who needed serious help for his mental health. Instead, his delusion was affirmed, and the result is murdered innocent children.” Later, Elston added, “Someone needed to tell this kid the truth and help him to be happy as a man, but it's illegal to do so. It's a criminal offense of conversion therapy. So, he never got help and he got worse. Murdered children paid the price for our politicians' stupidity and cowardice. Not even our police can call him a man. A cult has taken over our society. “ Please pray for the families suffering through this unimaginable loss. YouVersion Bible engagement up dramatically in Latin America Online Bible platforms are seeing unprecedented engagement in Latin America so far this year. This trend marks a year since the YouVersion Bible platform established a regional office in Mexico City. On January 1, nearly two million people subscribed to Bible reading plans. And the app saw over 22.2 million active users on the first Sunday of the year. This marks a 20% growth from last year. Countries with record levels of engagement include Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, and El Salvador.   Only 31% o Protestants read Bible daily In the United States, new analysis from Lifeway Research found most Protestant churchgoers don't read the Bible on a daily basis. Seventeen percent of churchgoers read the Bible at least monthly. Fourteen percent read weekly. Thirty percent read a few times a week. And only 31% read the Bible daily. However, the percentage of churchgoers who read the Bible daily or at least a few times a week is now 61%. That's up from 36% in 2007. Romans 12:2 reminds us, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” GOP to FDA: Abortion Kill Pill is hurting women U.S. Senate Republicans criticized the Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday after a closed-door briefing on the abortion kill pill. The FDA is supposed to be conducting a safety review of mifepristone, one of the drugs used in chemical abortions. Republicans are accusing the agency of dragging its feet on the study. Listen to comments from Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri in an interview on Washington Watch with Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council. HAWLEY: “Tony. I just think, at this point, this study, it's vital. It should be done. I don't have any confidence that the FDA is actually going to do it. And, in the meantime, abortions in this country are increasing. There are more abortions now than when Roe was the law of the land. And that's because of this chemical abortion.” U.S. homicides down 20% The Major Cities Chiefs Association released its latest report on violent crime in the U.S. The report collects data from 67 of America's biggest police departments. Compared to 2024, reported homicides were down nearly 20% last year. And reported violent crimes are falling after a surge of reports during the COVID-era shutdowns. 130,000 new American jobs The United States added 130,000 jobs in January, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Analysts expected only 55,000 jobs. It's the biggest job growth in over a year. The gains were led by healthcare, social assistance, and construction.  The unemployment rate remained slightly elevated at 4.3%. 92% of Americans like religious themes in movies & TV And finally, a new survey found most Americans are open to religious themes in movies and TV shows. The 2026 Faith & Entertainment Index found 92% of U.S. adults say faith has a role to play in modern entertainment. And 77% believe it can have broad appeal. Brooke Zaugg, executive director of the Faith & Media Initiative, said, “Religion can feel scary to talk about — like politics — so it creates the illusion that it's a small group. That makes it easy for filmmakers to oversimplify it or not give it much thought, instead of recognizing how valuable faith storytelling can be when it's done well.”  Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, February 12th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

Marc shares his thoughts on how a lack of rivalries could be hurting sports like Major League Baseball and the NBA but also points out that given everything online and the amount of games played in both sports, that maybe overexposure could also play a factor in not keeping fans.

In this Q&A episode, Uncle Joe and I dive into one of the most common—and misunderstood—struggles in marriage: emotional connection. We respond to a powerful question from Alex, a husband who genuinely wants to show up better for his wife but feels stuck, unsure how to respond to her emotions, and frustrated that his efforts don't seem to land.   This conversation breaks down why men default to "fix-it mode," why that instinct actually creates disconnection, and how emotional safety—not solutions—is what most women are truly seeking. We unpack practical, real-world skills for listening, validating, and reconnecting with your wife, especially after years of habit and complacency. If your wife has ever said, "I don't feel connected to you," this episode will give you clarity, direction, and a better way forward.     Timeline Summary [0:00] Introduction [1:02] Opening conversation about Valentine's Day and intentional connection [2:55] Alex's question about building emotional connection with his wife [4:10] Hearing hard feedback: "I don't feel connected or loved" [5:14] How long-term habits quietly shape marriage dynamics [6:03] Why men feel uncomfortable with big emotions [7:12] The difference between fixing problems and creating connection [8:10] Why women share emotions—to feel seen, not saved [9:00] Transactional conversations vs. emotional safety [10:14] Joe explains why feedback is actually a gift [10:59] Pebbles vs. boulders and minimizing your wife's feelings [11:56] Why "it's not a big deal" damages trust [12:17] Understanding how your wife feels loved [13:19] Acts of service and practical ways to reduce her stress [14:11] Real-life example of how small actions rebuild connection [15:19] Curiosity as the foundation of emotional intimacy [16:46] Leading with humility and listening through awkward silence [17:31] Treating your wife like you did when you first dated [19:02] Complacency as the silent killer of attraction [20:13] Why long-term relationships require intentional effort [21:09] Being challenged as an act of love [22:11] Brotherhood, faith, and the mission of the Dad Edge Alliance [23:08] Invitation to the Dad Edge Alliance preview call [23:47] Closing encouragement and next steps     Five Key Takeaways Emotional connection is built through presence, not problem-solving. Fixing minimizes feelings—listening creates safety. What feels small to you may feel huge to your wife. Curiosity and humility rebuild intimacy faster than tactics. Treating your wife like you did in the beginning keeps the relationship alive.     Links & Resources Dad Edge Alliance Preview Call (RSVP): http://thedadedge.com/preview Dad Edge Alliance (Marriage, Parenting, Health, Leadership): https://thedadedge.com/alliance Episode Show Notes & Resources: https://thedadedge.com/1438     Closing Remark If this episode gave you language or perspective you didn't have before, please rate, review, follow, and share the podcast.

Eric Raber is the owner of ER Autocare, a multi-location auto repair business with four locations in the Columbus, Ohio area. With roots in agricultural mechanics and early hands-on experience working alongside his father, Eric built his technical foundation long before opening his first shop.Over the years, Eric has navigated shop growth, rebranding, hiring challenges, and operational scaling firsthand. His experience running multiple locations; including the lessons learned from early naming and branding decisions, gives him a practical, real-world perspective that resonates with shop owners facing similar growth stages and decisions. In this episode…As auto repair shops grow, add services, or expand locations, branding decisions made early on can quietly start working against them. Auto repair shop name mistakes often don't show up right away, they surface later as customer confusion, hiring friction, or a brand that no longer reflects what the business actually does.In this conversation, Eric Raber walks through how those challenges showed up in his own business and why naming, clarity, and consistency matter more than most shop owners expect. This episode is especially relevant for operators who've evolved beyond a single-location mindset and are now thinking about long-term growth, brand alignment, and how their shop is perceived in the market today.Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn: [01:07] Introduction to Eric Raber and his multi-location auto repair business[01:40] Early mechanical experience shaped by family and agricultural work[03:57] Nontraditional education and entering the workforce at a young age[05:39] Learning diagnostics and technical problem-solving through mentorship[09:01] How early shop name decisions created long-term branding challenges[11:30] Why brand clarity becomes more important as a shop grows[15:29] Using BNI and relationship-based networking during early growth stages[20:43] Tradeoffs and risks of consolidating multiple shop brands[22:41] Maintaining operational consistency behind different brand identitiesResources mentioned in this episode:Eric Raber LinkedInER Autocare WebsiteTread PartnersGain Traction Podcast on YouTubeGain Traction Podcast WebsiteMike Edge on LinkedInQuotable Moments:“You have to have a hard consonant in your name somewhere, ideally beginning or end.”“Saying that name on the phone 100,000 times is not fun.”“It's not a whole lot of fun selling auto repair on top of a tire shop name.”“If I have to explain it every time, that's already a problem.”“Don't just consolidate brands for the sake of consolidation.”Action Steps:Audit your shop name for clarity and fit.Test how your brand sounds in real interactions.Gather outside feedback before rebranding.Evaluate branding impact before expanding locations.Separate brand decisions from emotion and habit.

Trying to conceive can feel overwhelming — especially when you're doing “all the right things” and still not seeing results. The Lanby's Taylor Fazio, prenatal nutrition and fertility specialist, breaks down common healthy habits that may actually be backfiring on your fertility.On this “One Take on One Take” episode:Tip 1: Avoid being overly restrictive or “perfect” with your diet — under-eating, stress, and food rigidity can disrupt hormones and menstrual cycles.Tip 2: Balance movement and rest by avoiding over-exercising, incorporating recovery days, and supporting hormonal health through intentional training.Tip 3: Be strategic with supplements — oversupplementation without guidance can disrupt nutrient balance and negatively impact fertility.Tip 4: Don't overlook the power of community, joy, and emotional support — connection plays a critical role in reproductive health.Subscribe to Get Well Better by The Lanby: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/get-well-better Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/get-well-better YouTube: @TheLanby Or search “Get Well Better by The Lanby” on your favorite podcast platform!VISIT THE LANBY: Explore membership and learn more about The Lanby's functional medicine approach:https://www.thelanby.comFOLLOW THE LANBY ON SOCIAL: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelanby Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thelanby LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/thelanbySTAY IN THE KNOW: Subscribe to The Lanby newsletter for health tips, podcast drops, and expert insights: https://www.thelanby.com/newsletter

On this episode of Think Smart with TMFG, we analyze how rising costs and debt are pushing people to compare themselves to friends, coworkers, and what they see online. Those comparison-driven choices? They can lead to stress, overspending, and putting off important long-term planning. We walk through real examples and practical tips on how budgeting, awareness, and informed decisions can help you take control of your money, avoid financial pitfalls, and make smarter moves for the future. The takeaway is simple: focus on your financial growth, not what anyone else is doing. Planning well and sticking to disciplined habits is what really pays off. Question for our listeners: Are comparisons affecting your spending, your career choices, or your long-term plans?

Today’s Bible Verse: “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18 Psalm 34:18 offers tender reassurance for seasons of pain. God is not distant from sorrow—He draws near to those whose hearts feel shattered. When emotions are heavy and strength feels thin, His presence moves closer, not farther away. “Want to listen without ads?

If your ex is still controlling you and you keep reacting, explaining, or trying to keep the peace… you might be actively hurting your legal case without even realizing it.Because here's the thing: divorce doesn't cure controlling behavior—it often exposes it. And control doesn't always look loud. Sometimes it looks “polite.” Sometimes it looks like silence. Sometimes it looks like a thousand tiny moments that make your stomach drop.In this episode of How Not to Suck at Divorce, attorney Morgan Stogsdill and comedian Andrea Rappaport break down what control looks like after separation, why it escalates, and the legal + emotional action steps to shut it down.And yes—there's also a story involving a tambourine, a fire-lit “happiness class,” and a man casually threatening everyone with a tombstone. (Welcome to the show.)What You'll Learn in This Episode✅ How control shows up during divorce (even when it's not obvious)Morgan explains that control can look like:Financial control: “I'll pay when I feel like it,” monitoring spending, moving goalpostsMicromanaging parenting and second-guessing everything you doWeaponized silence / delayed responses to make you spiralMaking you feel like you need permission for decisions you don't need permission for“Polite” manipulation disguised as “concern for the kids”Why control often escalates after separationAndrea explains the psychology: when someone loses access and power, they often pull harder—because control is how they regulate their discomfort.The dangerous legal issue most people miss: “splitting”Morgan explains how controlling behavior can drive a wedge between you and your attorney—making you doubt your lawyer, hold back details, or get pulled into the ex's narrative.That's not just stressful. It can derail your strategy and cost you serious money. The communication trap that keeps you stuckIf your nervous system is hijacked every time they text you, you'll default to the old pattern:ReactingOver-explainingTrying to smooth things overTrying to get them to “understand”Which gives them exactly what they want: access.The Tools That Help You Stop the Control1) Tighten the structure (legally + logistically)Morgan explains why vague agreements don't work with controlling people. Example of vague: “reasonable communication.” Problem: “reasonable” becomes a playground for manipulation.2) Reduce accessBecause (say it with us): control fades when access fades.That may mean:limiting communicationusing a parenting appnot responding to baitpushing...

What if the reason you're burned out isn't delegation—but the fact that you're managing other people's approval instead of leading?You don't struggle with delegation—you struggle with giving clear feedback to the people whose approval you think you need. In this Thursday quick-hit, Dawn breaks down why senior hires trigger softened communication, midnight rewrites, and CEO exhaustion—and how learning to hold someone else's disappointment is the real leadership skill that removes bottlenecks. If you're rewriting work at 11 PM to “be nice,” this episode will hit uncomfortably close to home (in the best way).Ready to stop managing approval and start leading with clarity? Join the free AI for Founders Community—a room full of founders learning to delegate, give feedback, and lead without the approval economy running their business.Key TakeawaysYou're not bad at feedback—you're inconsistent. You give crystal-clear direction to people whose approval you don't need…and hedge endlessly with the ones you're afraid to disappoint.You're running two delegation systems. One clear. One softened. That split is what's exhausting you—not your team.Approval is expensive. Rewriting emails, taking work back, and fixing things at midnight is an invisible approval tax on your CEO time.This isn't about their feelings—it's about your story. You're not managing their disappointment. You're managing the fear of what their disappointment might “prove” about you.AI can expose your approval patterns fast. When emotions muddy leadership language, AI can objectively show you where you hedge, soften, and self-protect.Before you give feedback, ask yourself: “Am I softening this because they can't handle clarity—or because I'm afraid of losing their approval?”If it's the second one, that's not kindness. That's self-protection.Leadership requires learning how to hold someone else's disappointment without making it your emergency.Use AI as your approval detector:Prompt:“Analyze my feedback patterns. Below are three emails to junior team members and three to senior team members. Identify where my language shifts from direct to hedging, where I manage reactions instead of stating expectations, and rewrite the senior feedback with the same clarity used for juniors.”You'll see the pattern immediately—and once you see it, you can't unsee it.Resources & LinksJoin the Community: AI for Founders Free GroupFreebie: The Feedback FixRelated Episodes:Ep. 125 | The 3-Text Test: How Female Founders Use AI to Stop Their Team From Treating Them Like Google — communication clarity + boundaries.Send us a textWant to increase revenue and impact?

Winter has a way of stripping things down to the bone. In this episode of Horror Hill, host Erik Peabody invites you into the season he calls "deep hurting," that long stretch of cold where the days blur together, the body falters, and the mind drifts toward thoughts it usually keeps buried. Featuring a bleak and deeply unsettling tale from J.R. Hamantaschen, this episode lingers in the spaces between despair and revelation, asking whether some truths arrive too late to save us—and whether some knowledge was never meant to be endured for long. “Love Is Not an Eternal Thing Like Hatred or Disgust” by J.R. Hamantaschen – While working a routine shift at a grocery store, a young employee has a fleeting but unsettling encounter with an elderly stranger—one that lingers in his thoughts far longer than it should. As the day unfolds, a series of increasingly disturbing incidents ripple through the store, hinting at a shared anguish carried by those at the far end of life. Ordinary spaces become charged with dread, and quiet despair gives way to something far more profound and unexplainable. A deeply unsettling meditation on aging, identity, and the limits of human endurance, this story confronts the terrifying possibility that some truths are revealed only when it's already too late.

The Rise of the "Nones" and the Politics Driving People Out of Church   In this episode of the Good Faith Podcast, Ryan Burge joins Curtis Chang to explore The Vanishing Church and the decline of moderate American congregations, using hard data and his lived experience as a longtime pastor, political scientist, and statistician. Ryan and Curtis explore how evangelicals, mainline Protestants, Catholics, and the religious "nones" are changing—and what that means for polarization, social cohesion, and democracy in America. Burge offers a practical challenge for the lonely or spiritually curious—show up to church even if you don't believe—and makes a case for gratitude and community in an anxious age.   06:25 - Evangelicals: Political Shift and Homogeneity 13:59 - Mainline Protestants: Decline and Diversity 19:06 - Aging and Future of Mainline Churches 23:05 - American Catholics: Stability and Rightward Shift 28:31 - Priest Shortages and Cultural Challenges 30:36 - The Rise of the Nones 31:25 - Political Drivers of Religious Disaffiliation 40:17 - Polarization: Politics and Economics 47:54 - Addressing Polarization: Individual Responsibility 50:23 - Advice for Pastors: Preaching Beyond Politics 52:31 - Signs of Hope and Gratitude   Register for the Illuminate Arts + Faith Conference Sign up for the Good Faith Newsletter   Mentioned In This Episode: Ryan Burge's The Vanishing Church: How the Hollowing Out of Moderate Congregations Is Hurting Democracy, Faith, and Us (Why the Culture Wars Led to Polarization and What We Can Do About It) Read Ephesians 3:10 (ESV) Read Colossians 1:16-18 (ESV) Danforth Center on Religion and Politics Ryan Burge, Michael Graham, and Jim Davis' The Great Dechurching: Who's Leaving, Why Are They Going, and What Will It Take to Bring Them Back?
