How do we bless strength, adventure, and tenderness in the next generation without fear or striving? Stasi welcomes Rebekah Lovell into a conversation about her book Boyhood Resurrected, honoring the God-given design of boys and the invitation Jesus offers us to bless what is wild and good. Together, they explore how grace, wisdom, and hope meet us as we raise hearts formed by love, freedom, and faith, in a demanding culture.And friends, as we talk about boys being “wired for wild,” we are not diminishing the unique and glorious ways girls are wired for adventure as well. While most Captivated episodes are directed toward women, this conversation turns toward nurturing boys in a world that too often misunderstands or diminishes them.…..SHOW NOTES:…..VERSES: Hosea 6:3 (NIV) – Let us acknowledge the LORD; let us press on to acknowledge him.

Connect with Talk Cosmos for the long anticipated outer planet conjunction “Saturn Neptune Aries Awakening”. Igniting our 1st week's potent planetary buzz happening in the cosmos this month, we feature guest Dr. Stormie Grace from Spain who joins host Sue ‘Rose' Minahan with Dr. Laura Tadd. A rare world point cycle is here since Saturn and Neptune 0° Aries occurred in 4,361 BCE! As Saturn's steady orbit conjuncts other-worldly Neptune at 0° Aries, we begin to enter a profound new era of potential spiritual reality. At its highest level, these planets juxtapose popular notions of boundaries and structures to the limitless boundary of the infinite. However, according to Vibrational Astrology research, Saturn represents determining what is essentially fundamental. Stripped down to what is basic, often interpreted as structure, or the bones of an issue. Adding Neptune's essence according to Vibrational Astrology research, it incorporates giving us a sense of the extraordinary adding a special magical component in living. For some, a concert or sport game, but these energies paired together represent at their highest level, a spiritual consciousness. We begin a stage of building a reset of world consciousness.

Step into a tender and luminous conversation with psychotherapist, filmmaker, and transformational coach Stephanie James on this episode of Intimate Conversations. A radiant guide through the dark night into divine light, Stephanie joins me for a heartfelt dialogue about surrender, soul guidance, motherhood, and the brave art of letting go so love can lead. Stephanie shares how listening to an inner voice led her to Santa Fe and opened her heart to deeper belonging and sisterhood. She opens vulnerably about her daughter's ten-year battle with addiction, the moment she released control, and how surrender became the doorway to healing. Today, her daughter is eight years sober, a thriving art teacher and devoted mother. Together, we explore what it means to stop rescuing, start trusting Love itself, and come home to wholeness through presence, compassion, and courage. We talk about: -Listening to soul guidance and trusting divine timing -Letting go of fixing and allowing others to rise -Caretaking versus true care and healthy boundaries -Healing trauma through embodiment and integration -Holding both shadow and light, heartbreak and joy -Why wholeness is presence, not perfection This episode is an inspiring and gentle invitation to soften, surrender, and remember that every moment, even the messy ones, is part of your beautiful becoming.

Igniting the Flame: Cultivating a Missional Life Through Acts 13Pastor Chris preaches about the importance of being a missional church dedicated to spreading the gospel, as highlighted in Acts 13. Emphasizing the need for spiritual preparedness and cultivation of a life of prayer, Chris recounts personal experiences of fasting, failing, and the humbling grace of God. He elaborates on the significant themes found in Acts 13, like Paul's first missionary journey and the church of Antioch, urging the church to embrace their diverse calling. The sermon also tackles the cost of revival, urging readiness for both the blessings and challenges it brings, including societal pushback and economic upheaval. Additionally, the pastor calls for Christians to engage in every sphere of society, including politics, to influence for the kingdom of God.

Ep #346 - Igniting The New - An Interview with Astrologer, Kate Rose I am thrilled to once again welcome Kate Rose—author and astrologer—back to Empowering Chats. In our first interview of 2026, Kate and I explore the astrology shaping the first part of the year. At the time of this conversation, we were anticipating the Year of the Fire Horse, an energy represented by strong fire influence and inner authority—very much aligned with Aries energy and the call to trust our own inner knowing. Together, we explore the question: How can we be of benefit to ourselves and to those around us? Do we follow the masses, or do we stand firmly in what is right and true according to Universal standards? A key theme throughout this conversation is learning how to truly trust yourself. Kate also dives into the February astrology and what we can expect. A solar eclipse on February 17th coincides with the start of a Solar New Year and the beginning of the Year of the Fire Horse. Solar eclipses represent outer energy, and collectively this energy will follow us through most of this year. While intense at times, with a strong focus on external events we can expect greater unpredictability and more unexpected developments both personally and globally. The Fire Horse brings movement and impulse, making it especially important to pause before making decisions—a point Kate emphasizes as essential for the year ahead. Neptune's shift from Pisces into Aries also signals powerful new beginnings. As this transition unfolds, painful truths—both individually and collectively—may come to light. While some of what emerges may be difficult to face, it is through awareness that real change and new choices become possible. We also explored generational karma and the importance of honestly examining the energies we've long lived with. The Year of the Fire Horse offers a profound opportunity to heal not only personal history, but collective wounds as well. As individuals, we are reminded that while we may care deeply about humanity and the larger world, our true power lies in tending to our own lives—the bubble we live in and the ripple we create. It's not about changing another's karma, but about staying balanced within ourselves and reconnecting to the joy, love, peace, and divine essence we each carry. This year will bring movement, challenges, and moments of imbalance—but as Kate reminds us, it will also bring progress, growth, and powerful new beginnings.

What does suffering offer us when it comes to spiritual awakening? How can we experience a movement of God after walking through a season of pain?In 2023, Pastor Zach Meerkreebs was an ordinary pastor serving at a local seminary, still walking through the emotional pain from the loss of his infant daughter, Esther, three years prior. On what seemed like an ordinary day, he delivered a chapel message at Asbury University and stepped off the stage, feeling as though his words had fallen flat. Little did he know, God would use that moment to ignite a movement of the Spirit, launching over two weeks of continuous revival at a small university in rural Kentucky. Through that experience, Zach came to see how God can use anything—and anyone—to bring revival. He tells this story in his book **Lower: Igniting Spiritual Awakening Through Radical Humility.**In this episode, Davey and Zach talk about what God does in our wrestlings after pain, how He works through our weakness, and how to faithfully steward our encounters with Him.If you've ever wondered whether God will move again in your life or community, this conversation will remind you that when we humble ourselves, we position our hearts to encounter God in ways we never expected.

Let us know what you enjoy about the show!In this deeply honest and reflective conversation, I sit down with Hanako Greensmith—actor, artist, and series regular on Chicago Fire—to explore what happens between the milestones.I've had the joy of knowing Hanako since her training years at Pace University, and here she speaks with remarkable openness about ambition, self-worth, burnout, and the inner work required to sustain a creative life.We talk about the pressure to constantly do more, the belief that rest must be earned, and how easily high achievers learn to equate worth with productivity. Hanako reflects on learning to trust herself without over-preparing, on noticing when familiar patterns no longer serve her, and on what it means to reconnect with creativity beyond external validation.This conversation also touches on:Navigating the “in-between” seasons of an artistic careerThe tension between stability and creative freedomSensitivity as a strength rather than a flawWhy nature can be a powerful emotional and energetic resetLetting go of identities that once felt essentialRedefining success beyond credits, roles, or outcomesAt its heart, this episode is about learning to listen inwardly, honoring what you need now, and allowing yourself to evolve—without rushing the process.A note from LisaAs STOPTIME: Live in the Moment approaches five years of conversations (almost six!), I'm revisiting and re-sharing a few favorite episodes—conversations that continue to resonate and meet us exactly where we are. This one felt especially worth returning to.Thank you for listening—and for being part of this journey.— Lisa

The Patriotically Correct Radio Show with Stew Peters | #PCRadio
Zionist vulture capitalist Paul Singer, Trump's mega-Jewish donor, just hijacked Citgo—the only U.S. heavy crude refinery—at dirt-cheap prices after Trump deliberately tanked its value through pirate ship seizures and brutal blockades. Now Trump is siphoning billions in stolen Venezuelan oil directly into Singer's coffers to bankroll Israel's endless wars and globalist schemes. A white American mom of three was gunned down cold-blood by a faceless ICE agent in Minneapolis. Owen Shroyer teams with Stew to rip open this engineered psyop designed to unleash riots, crush freedoms, and force-feed the AI Gestapo down our throats. Is this the deep-state trigger for martial law? There is no law requiring Americans in the 50 states to file or pay federal income tax—yet trillions are seized to bomb nations for Jewish billionaires and push global degeneracy at gunpoint. Peymon Mottahedeh exposes the century-old fraud and gives you the exact, battle-tested steps to go exempt, keep your earnings, and join the millions already refusing to feed the swamp. Erika Kirk isn't just grieving—she's the centerpiece of a decades-long web connecting Romanian orphanages, U.S. military bases, and accusations of child trafficking that go straight to the top.
Hey friends — it's Amy.Today's episode is a powerful conversation about igniting something inside of you — your confidence, your expectation, and your willingness to grow.Because if we're honest, most people don't lack potential…They lack expectation.They lack confidence.And they've gotten a little too comfortable staying where they are.In this episode, I'm talking about why confidence isn't something you wait to feel — it's something you activate. Expectation works the same way. What you anticipate, you experience. And growth? Growth always asks you to step outside of what feels safe before it ever feels rewarding.We dive into the tug-of-war every human feels between certainty and growth. We want stability — but we also crave movement. And when we choose comfort for too long, life starts to feel tight… like a coat that no longer fits, yet we keep putting it on anyway.If you've felt restless, stretched, or aware that something needs to change — that's not failure. That's awareness. And awareness is the beginning of transformation.This episode will challenge you to: • Raise your internal standard • Stop repeating habits that no longer serve you • Expect more — and act like it • Commit to growth, even when it feels uncomfortable2026 doesn't need more hype.It needs intentional decisions.My hope is that today's episode helps you stop negotiating with fear and start moving forward with clarity, courage, and conviction.You're not behind.You're not stuck.You're just being invited to grow.Connect With Us:Website: https://www.youaremore.comFree Download: 5 Steps to Win Through AdversitySocial Media: Follow us on Facebook and InstagramEmail: amy@amywienands.comEpisode Minute By Minute:00:00 – Igniting confidence, expectation, and growth for a new year02:20 – Why most people want change but don't experience it05:15 – Confidence is activated, not discovered08:10 – Expectation: the invisible force shaping your life11:30 – Certainty vs. growth: why comfort can quietly cost you15:00 – When life starts to feel tight, not peaceful18:25 – Why discomfort often signals growth21:40 – Releasing habits that no longer fit who you're becoming25:10 – Raising your internal standard28:30 – Making a commitment to grow in 202631:00 – Final encouragement and mindset shiftBe intentional, stay focused, and remember you are more!

Venezuela's government and several international voices have denounced the U.S. strike as an unlawful act of aggression and a dangerous precedent for unilateral regime changing operations.

Caracas Captured: Maduro's Empire-Ending Heist – Igniting the American Union's Dark Dawn! Today is January 4, 2026, and folks, the world just got flipped upside down. If you've been glued to your screens like I have, you know what I'm talking about: the U.S. military's lightning strike on Venezuela, snatching up President Nicolás Maduro and his wife like they were prizes in a claw machine. Trump calls it a "large-scale strike" against a "narco-terrorist organization," and now Maduro's cooling his heels in a New York detention center facing drug and terror charges. But is this just about justice, or is it the opening act in a grander scheme? We're talking the birth of an "American Union" – a supranational beast swallowing North, Central, and South America whole, EU-style, but with stars and stripes on top.

In The Unfinished Metropolis: Igniting the City-Building Revolution (Island Press, 2025), Benjamin Schneider argues that American city-building is a lost art. U.S. cities used to constantly evolve, experimenting with new urban designs and ambitious infrastructure projects, from railroads and subways to public housing and shopping malls. But in recent years, the country has continued pursuing the same mid-20th century urban development plans—freeways, downtown office towers, suburban housing developments. The Unfinished Metropolis covers how this pattern is why Americans are so dependent on their cars, why housing is so expensive and homelessness is at crisis levels, and why downtowns are struggling and communities are fraying. Over the course of an engaging tour of the built environment, Schneider explores common urban designs that shape our lives and color our cultural imagination: office parks, apartments, single family homes, and transit systems. He explains how these forms came to be, why they no longer function as promised, and introduces readers to the advocates and professionals around the country who are working on transformative new solutions. Benjamin Schneider is a freelance journalist covering all things urbanism. His work has appeared in Bloomberg CityLab, MIT Technology Review, Slate, The Nation, the Los Angeles Times, and many other publications. He also writes a Substack newsletter called, “The Urban Condition.” This interview was conducted by Timi Koyejo, an urbanist who has worked as a researcher at the University of Chicago and as an urban policy advisor to the City of Chicago.

Send us a textIn this episode, we move into the fiery centre of the body — the Solar Plexus Chakra, or Manipura. This chakra governs your personal power, confidence, and the way you take action in the world. It's the energy of self-worth, motivation, and the inner fire that helps you stand tall in your truth.When your Solar Plexus is balanced, you feel empowered, decisive, and aligned with your purpose. You trust yourself and move through life with clarity and strength. But when this energy is blocked or overactive, it can show up as self-doubt, lack of motivation, control issues, or an inner critic that keeps you small.We'll explore how to reconnect with your inner fire, transform fear into empowerment, and reclaim your sense of self. You'll also learn practices to strengthen your boundaries, cultivate confidence, and realign with your authentic power.This is your reminder that your light was never meant to be dimmed — it's time to remember the strength that has always been within you.All my love, Hannah xoxo
