I went to seminary as an evangelical. I had no idea it was going to hold so many surprises. Here are the top 7 shockers that change the entire game of Christianity. Knowing these will help us continue to unravel the hurtful, destructive teachings that, in truth, really have nothing to do with Jesus, God or the Bible. It was the beginning of the deconstruction of my faith, and the beginning of a much deeper, more beautiful, more satisfying spirituality.A special encore presentation. Send us a private message. *Note: INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS if you'd like us to answer. :-) Support the show

Welcome back to the Jeep Talk Show! In this episode, Tony sits down with Tom Zielinski — lifelong off-roader, event creator and operator, Tread Lightly! board member, former racer, and one of the most connected people in the off-road and automotive event world. Tom shares stories from the "alleged" early days of sneaking into gravel pits, the motivation behind serving on the Tread Lightly board, why he still rides the bumper a little too close on the trail, and how Detroit traffic and Houston Beltway driving shaped his need for speed. They talk V8 Gladiator dreams, meeting at Easter Jeep Safari, the magic (and occasional chaos) of Moab, and why new people at EJS come away wide-eyed. Tom also opens up about appearing on the Automotive Advantage podcast with Dr. Jamie Meyer and Justin Chesler, how he builds real industry relationships ("be in the mix every day, don't be an idiot, follow through"), the origin story of his events (born from dealership sponsorship frustration and a bit of youthful guilt), and the importance of Off-Road 101 education. Key Highlights Tom's path from power-sports dealerships and mentors to creating major events Why Holly Oaks works so well and how new Jeepers become "one of us" Tread Lightly, trail stewardship, and the difference between appropriate "shenanigans" and damaging public lands The heartwarming side of guiding first-timers and industry newcomers at Moab and 4Fest Real talk on building contacts, saying yes (sometimes too often), and staying behind the curtain while delivering **Timestamps 00:00 Introducing Tom Zelensky and His Off‑Road Journey 00:52 – Trail Etiquette: Slow Down and Enjoy the Ride 01:38 – Houston Beltways: Toll Roads and Unrestricted Speed 02:32 – From Detroit Trucks to Jeeps: Embracing Speed 03:10 – TRX Launch and Dreaming of a V8 Jeep 03:46 – Rumors of a Hemi‑Powered Gladiator 04:10 – Connecting at EJS: Meeting Tom and New Friends 04:46 – Moab Adventures and Jeep Overload 06:13 – First‑Timer Experiences and Detroit Four Fest Highlights 07:22 – Crowd Perceptions at Easter Jeep Safari 07:55 – Community Dynamics and Curmudgeons at Off‑Road Events 09:19 – Networking at EJS and Introducing the Automotive Advantage Podcast 11:39 – Overview of the Automotive Advantage Podcast and Its Hosts 13:02 – Recap of the Automotive Advantage Interview and Upcoming Projects 14:28 – The "Magic" of Networking and Staying in the Mix 17:05 – Half‑Day Work Ethic and the Importance of Follow‑Through 17:52 – Motivation Behind Events, Business Insights, and Off‑Road Education 22:02 – How Our Off‑Road Events Were Born: From Idea to Execution 25:14 – Adventure Spirit, Off‑Road Parks, and Public Lands Ethics 27:58 – Educating Off‑Roaders and Preserving Trail Access 29:27 – Advocacy for Public Lands and Shared Responsibility 31:05 – Inclusivity and Respect for All Recreational Activities 31:42 – Upcoming September Events: Cars at the Station and Detroit Four Fest 33:45 – One‑Zero‑One Off‑Road Classes and Registration Details 37:11 – Engaging New Off‑Roaders: Locker Demonstration and Learning Moment 39:38 – FOURFEST at Holly Oaks: Suburban Off‑Road Park and International Attendance 41:02 – Jim Morrison, Jeep Leadership and Bob's Health Update 43:46 – Supporting Tread Lightly: Trail Clean‑Ups and Community Service 44:46 – Toledo Jeep Fest Plans and Inflatable Camper Warning 45:41 – Final Thoughts, Trail Encouragement, and New Friendships 46:23 – Video Stabilization and Brief Commentary 46:51 – Legal Disclaimer and Liability Notice Links Detroit 4Fest / registration: https://4festevents.com Tread Lightly!: https://treadlightly.org Jeep Talk Show: https://jeeptalkshow.com Support the show, hit the trails responsibly, and we'll see you out there (or at Holly Oaks in September)!

So much pain has been inflicted in the name of God. We have been deeply hurt, we get triggered and, understandably, we want nothing to do with any of it - even Jesus. But, let's be clear, what has been used to hurt us has been absolute lies, false teachings and is not about God or Jesus!One of the worst things that ever happened to Jesus was the religion of Christianity, and non-affirming Christians have largely gotten him totally wrong. Jesus is still one of the best-kept secrets because his truth has been grossly distorted by people who claim to speak for him.There is a religion-free Jesus who belongs to all of us!Send us a private message. *Note: INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS if you'd like us to answer. :-) Support the show

What if the sport you've never heard of turned out to be the most inclusive one you've ever played? This week on The Jack Murley Sports Show, we're introducing you to floorball – one of the world's fastest-growing sports – and the incredible people behind Scotland's only LGBTQ+ inclusive floorball club, the Perth Parrots. Joining us are founder and President Frazer Robertson, Secretary Claire McKenzie and Head Coach Rhuaraidh Fleming to share how the club has become so much more than a place to play sport. From competing at EuroGames showcasing floorball at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, the Perth Parrots are proving that sport is at its very best when everyone feels welcome. Whether you've never heard of floorball before or you're already a fan, this is a fascinating conversation about inclusion, community and the power of trying something new.

His work with the Wacken Metal Battle and founding of Wacken Latinos were highlighted as pivotal in promoting metal in Latin America and supporting emerging bands 00:45–02:16.The idea for Tribute to Wacken emerged in celebration of the festival's 35th anniversary, gathering musicians from different countries and backgrounds, including original singers of Wacken anthems 02:17–03:15.Crowd Reactions and Festival AtmosphereThe discussion explored the electrifying audience response when performing Wacken anthems, including the Udo song "Heavy Metal WOA" and "Louder Than Hell." The room was described as packed and the energy unmatched 03:22–03:54.Personal Journeys to WackenSeveral points were raised, including first encounters with Wacken and the significance of finally attending or performing. For example, stories included attending for the first time in 2010 and coming back every year, or moving from Venezuela to Germany in 2018 to be closer to the scene 04:05–06:07.Challenges for Latin American MetalheadsA key theme that emerged was the struggle for recognition and stability within music scenes in countries like Venezuela due to political upheaval and traditionalism, where musicians were paid in rum or faced discrimination for their looks and musical tastes 07:58–09:50.The Wacken community's openness to musicians from all backgrounds, offering opportunities not available at other major festivals, was emphasized 09:52–10:21.Wacken's Unique Metal CultureThe difference between the passion for metal at Wacken and more limited scenes in Canada was discussed, with Wacken described as a place where bands play to thousands compared to much smaller venues back home. The presence of unique Wacken festival anthems was seen as symbolic of its special culture 12:42–14:25.Wacken Latinos and Supporting Latin BandsNotable mention was made of the work Wacken Latinos does in helping Latin American bands navigate travel, logistics, and opportunities in Europe. The initiative was praised for its success and increasing recognition by the Wacken festival itself 15:39–18:10.Inclusivity and ConnectionsThe culture of acceptance at Wacken—regardless of nationality, appearance, or background—was described as a “family” and a “great atmosphere” that inspired creativity and camaraderie among musicians 21:04–22:13, 26:35–27:18.Reflections on Political and Social ContextThe impact of political unrest in Venezuela and Colombia on their music scenes was discussed, with a message to listeners not to judge countries by their governments but to connect with their people 22:54–26:13.Notable Quotes“In Latin America there's a lot of people with a huge passion for metal, but it's always difficult to really get into the scene. The scene is rather small, especially compared to Europe, and Wacken is always for all of us kind of a beacon of hope, let's say, for metalheads.” 00:59“At Wacken, no matter where you come from, they really give the chance to smaller bands to play, that's unique. All the rest of the festivals in the world, they only care about money.” 09:52“There's just so much more passion for it [in Wacken]. I've actually seen bands play Toronto to like even a couple hundred people… and come here and play like the Faster stage and thousands and thousands of people out there for them, and it's a great thing to see.” 12:42“The culture overall at this festival—I've met people from everywhere in the world and developed lasting friendships. This group made me feel like family from the moment I met them.” 21:00–21:15“It doesn't matter who you are, what anything about you, you're accepted here at this place.

Toni Bravo didn't just go viral with a purple blush—she sparked a larger conversation about representation for deeper skin tones in beauty and turned it into one of the industry's most influential creator careers. The former Rare Beauty social media manager joins us to discuss what she learned working behind the scenes in beauty and media, the inclusivity gaps she still sees in marketing, and why some brands continue to miss the mark. We also get candid about creator finances, from buying two homes before 30 to turning down brand deals that don't align with her values, plus the boundaries that help protect her mental health as a public-facing creator. And, of course, we had to ask the "CEO of Blush" what's on her gorgeous face.Watch our episodes!Shop our episodesInstagram: @glossangelspod | TikTok: @glossangelespodEmail: glossangelespodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

"I'm not an artist." That's something two art instructors who founded Purple Art hear a lot as they visit retirement communities across the Front Range. Many of their clients have dementia. In our series Aging Matters, we speak with art teachers the Colorado's Alzheimer's Association hand-picked. Then, tourists think twice about their vacations because of wildfire. Plus, an effort to make Colorado's Great Outdoors more inclusive and affordable. Also, why it's not only okay, but recommended, for kids to play in the mud. And "Cowboys and East Indians," a play about identity, culture, and belonging, is up for a Colorado Theatre Guild award. 

You might remember Katryn from episode 292, where we dove deep into the behavioral blueprint for inclusion. Well, a lot can happen in a year—or in our current case, since the wild ride of the 2026 election—and the DEI landscape is shifting beneath our feet. I'll admit, when I first started this work ten years ago, I thought we could just shout from the rooftops that inclusion matters and everyone would just magically get it. But as we look at the headlines today, it's clear that "shiny object syndrome" has left us with a lot of noise and not enough real, systemic change. Katryn and I sit down to unpack what global leaders are actually doing right now to push past the performative and get to the heart of what makes workplaces genuinely fair. Key Themes from the Conversation Moving from Noise to Systemic Change. Organizations frequently focus on highly public, performative declarations of inclusivity rather than restructuring the underlying processes that perpetuate bias. "Organizations were doing a lot of the shiny stuff... doing what we would call noisy things, right? Proclaiming, saying, being public... but obviously that not necessarily translating to real-world change." — Katryn Wright The Problem with Unconscious Bias Training. Treating broad, one-size-fits-all training modules as a standalone solution is ineffective and can create artificial metrics that trigger cultural backlash. "An awful amount of money was spent on something that the science shows is... ineffective at best, counterproductive at worst." — Katryn Wright Inclusion as an Aspiration, Not a Default Value. Framing inclusion as a predefined company value mistakenly implies that the work is already complete, whereas framing it as an ongoing aspiration invites employees to actively participate in closing the gap. "When we talk about inclusion as a value, it is not as effective as when we talk about inclusion as an aspirational goal... it suggests that we've been missing a trick to be bringing people on as much as we can." — Katryn Wright Precision and Data Science in Workplace Fairness. True progress requires identifying the exact inflection points in employee experiences—like hiring, promotion, and retention stages—where disparities emerge, and applying targeted behavioral interventions. "Let's go and be as precise as possible about changing behavior in that exact situation... when we are able to be as precise as possible about which specific behaviors need to change, we can get to those outcomes." — Katryn Wright Actionable Takeaway for Listeners Stop trying to de-bias your entire team all at once with sweeping declarations. Instead, pick one specific process in your daily workflow—whether it's how you audit resumes, run performance reviews, or distribute project assignments—and analyze the data to find where the equity gaps lie. Designing small, targeted interventions at precise moments is how real cultural evolution happens. Follow Katryn at https://www.morethannow.co.uk/

Good services don't start with the city's org chart or budget lines. They start by understanding the resident's actual journey — and all the hidden time, paperwork, and friction that comes with it. Host Stephen Goldsmith speaks with Dr. Kim Leary, director of the Good Services Lab at the Bloomberg Center for Cities at Harvard University, about how listening is an active skill, why selection bias shapes who gets heard, and how cities can use AI and resident-centered design to create services that actually work for everyone. In this episode, you'll learn: Why "good services" means residents can find, understand, and use them without insider knowledge How selection bias shapes civic engagement and why mayors must ask "who's not in the room?" How AI can help identify missing constituencies and unnoticed solutions in comparable cities Why organizing around the resident's journey changes service delivery How to measure progress at baseline, midpoint, and endpoint to track what's actually improving Guest: Dr. Kim Leary – clinical psychologist, professor, and director of the Good Services Lab at the Bloomberg Center for Cities at Harvard University Listener Survey: bit.ly/datasmartpod Music credit: Summer-Man by Ketsa About Data-Smart City Solutions Data-Smart City Solutions, housed at the Bloomberg Center for Cities at Harvard University, is working to catalyze the adoption of data projects on the local government level by serving as a central resource for cities interested in this emerging field.

Send us Fan MailSesason 4: The New EarthEpisode Summary"The Law of Mother" is a call to spiritual awakening and planetary transition. The episode argues that humanity has severely damaged its connection to the sacred "Divine Feminine" or "Mother" frequency through systemic cruelty, institutional deception, and technological manipulation. However, it declares that the Mother force has risen to dismantle these corrupted "3D matrix" systems, inviting humanity to elevate its vibration, transcend to a 5D consciousness, and co-create a "New Earth."Key Themes & Takeaways1. The Power and Definition of "Mother"A Cosmic Frequency: "Mother" is defined not as a gender, but as Shakti—the fierce, manifestation power and innate intelligence of creation.Inclusivity of the Divine Feminine: Quoting Amelia Singanewsong, the transcript notes that the Goddess Mother is carried not just by women, but also by men who embody spiritual depth, emotional intelligence, and conscious creation.The Rise of Fierce Power: Represented by the force of Kali, the Mother is depicted as actively destroying the false structures, lies, and systems of enslavement built by "dark forces," guaranteeing an ultimate spiritual victory.2. Critiques of Modern Society (The "Damaged Truth")The transcript highlights three primary areas where humanity has allegedly strayed from cosmic truth:The Animal-Industrial Complex: Criticizes the global slaughter of over 100 billion land animals annually for food, highlighting a hypocrisy in how society protects pets while ignoring the mass termination of livestock.The Industrial Pharma/Medical Complex: Accuses the pharmaceutical industry of weaponizing normal human emotions and rhythms by labeling them as pathologies, claiming it functions as a "chemical warfare" that causes massive loss of life and disconnects the brain from cosmic intelligence.The 3D Matrix & Ideology: Argues that the current societal simulation floods the environment with electromagnetic pollution, low-vibrational triggers (fear/anxiety), and false ideologies—specifically citing gender-affirming medical interventions on minors as a symptom of a detached and institutionalized system.3. The Cosmic Shift and Galactic AlignmentEarth's Cleansing: Mentions physical and cosmic shifts, including the planetary trajectory of a second Earth planet, causing deep self-cleansing on Earth.Transition to 5D: Humanity is urged to shed lower-ego vibrations and immediately transcend to a 5D frequency to build the "New Earth," where human sentiency and the "Law of Mother" will be permanently safeguarded.Galactic Perspective: Features a quote from Commander Ashtar Sheran of the Galactic Federation Fleet, emphasizing that being human requires conscious participation, the exercise of free will, and choosing influences of love, courage, and wisdom over fear and manipulation.Final MessageThe episode concludes with an urgent spiritual directive: humanity must clear its lens of truth, choose love over survival-based fears, align with the "Christos frequency," and fulfill a perennial vow to never again take life, the human heart, or the Earth for granted.Support the showMay Peace Be Your Journey:Maya's approach transcends modern feminism by advocating for a holistic restoration of balance, moving beyond the fight for basic rights to reclaiming the innate power of the divine feminine, which includes procreation, forgiveness, nourishment, and cosmic creativity. She stresses the importance of kindness, inner stillness, and compassionate self-  tools for healing individuals and society. www.mayatiwari.comwww.facebook.com/mayatiwariahimsa.Buzzsprout.comMothermaya@gmail.comGet Maya's New Book: I Am  Shakti:https://www.collectiveinkbooks.com/o-books/our-books/I-am-shaktiAmazon.comBookshop.org

Today's episode was recorded in partnership with flaconi, Germany's leading online destination for beauty and fragrance. And it's one of those conversations that reminded me why I love doing this podcast so much.We're sitting down with Alicia Lindner, who runs a third-generation family business in the beauty industry called Annemarie Börlind. But this conversation is about so much more than a brand story. We talk about growing up surrounded by the scent of plant oils and flowers drifting out of a laboratory in the Black Forest and what it means to carry a legacy without turning it into something rigid.We also talk about sibling leadership, building and growing the brand independently, the spirit of the Schwarzwald, and the beauty industry as it looks today. But also about very human things. Like why skipping lunch is never a good idea and why the forest can be the best mentor when everything feels a bit too loud.This episode is thoughtful and honest. Alicia became an immediate star of the show. Please tune in and enjoy the energy that this episode will give you!Read more about the Women Authors of Achievement (WAA) Podcast via waa.berlin/aboutFollow us on Instagram & find us on LinkedInSubscribe to our newsletter via waa.berlin/newsletter ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Is the gaming industry really struggling to find talent — or are companies simply looking in the same places?In this episode of iGaming Daily, live from SBC Summit Americas 2026, Ana Maria Menezes speaks with Kweku Sapara-Grant, Director of External Affairs at Lotto.com and board member of African Americans In Gaming, about inclusivity, hiring, leadership and why diversity should be viewed as a sustainable business strategy.The conversation explores how the gaming industry is changing, why younger and more diverse professionals are reshaping the sector, and how businesses can benefit from broadening the voices they bring into the room.In this episode:✅ Why the gaming industry needs new voices✅ Whether companies are looking for talent in the wrong places✅ How inclusive workplaces can improve business performance✅ Why diversity is not separate from merit✅ The role of AI and bias in hiring✅ Why representation matters at leadership level✅ How diverse voices help businesses avoid costly mistakes✅ Why inclusivity can drive innovation and long-term growth✅ What leaders can do to build more open company culturesAs Kwaku explains, diversity is not just a moral duty it is also a business advantage.

Happy 50th birthday to the heart behind Whinypaluza!This week, Rebecca's husband Seth Greene pulled off the ultimate surprise. He secretly gathered video messages from 26 of Rebecca's closest family members, lifelong friends, and colleagues -- all answering one simple but powerful question: what is the greatest lesson Rebecca has taught you?The answers will move you. Seth reflects on how she transformed him from a fixer into a listener. Their children, Max, Ella, and Lillie, share the values she has woven into their everyday lives -- from reframing your thoughts to making sure every person in the room feels like they belong. And a circle of friends spanning more than three decades speaks to her empathy, her sparkle, and her unwavering belief that life need not be perfect to be beautiful.The episode closes with an original poem written and performed in Rebecca's honor -- a stunning tribute to 50 years of showing up for the people she loves.Grab a tissue, pour yourself something celebratory, and join us in celebrating the woman who has made all of us a little better just by knowing her.Key Takeaways:When your kids come to you with a problem, ask first: do they want you to listen, advise, or solve? Most of the time, they just want to be heard.Inclusivity is not a grand gesture -- it is the small, daily choice to make sure no one ever feels left out.Vulnerability is a strength. Sharing your real, messy moments gives others permission to do the same.Parenting is a community event. You were never meant to do it alone.You have the power to reframe your thoughts -- and when you do, you change your entire reality.Thank you for being a friend of the podcast.

June is Pride Month — a time dedicated not just to parades and rainbow flags but to profound affirmation and resistance against discrimination. The skewed Christian view of pride involves a self-centered attitude, placing oneself above others. But the LGBTQ+ community is not declaring themselves above anyone else. Pride Month was born from a necessity to stand against oppression and claim a rightful place in society — not out of a desire to dominate, but a need to exist openly and safely! Let's set the record straight: It's about love, not arrogance. We talk about what Pride really is and how it's a powerful expression of love's triumph over shame. It's a celebration – not a sin!Send us a private message. *Note: INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS if you'd like us to answer. :-) Support the show

In a shocking display of courage, a group of Christian baseball players are standing up for their faith in the face of intense pressure from the LGBTQ community. This episode delves into the story of the San Francisco Giants players who refused to wear Pride Night hats with Bible verses on them, and the backlash they faced from Major League Baseball. The speaker discusses how the LGBTQ community's push for inclusivity is actually a form of intolerance, where individuals are forced to comply with their ideology. This is not about acceptance, but about imposing one's beliefs on others. The speaker highlights the importance of standing up for one's faith and values, even in the face of adversity. The episode explores the story of the San Francisco Giants players who were warned by Major League Baseball for wearing Bible verses on their hats during Pride Night. The speaker also touches on the broader implications of this issue, including the MLB's history of pushing progressive ideologies on its players. From allowing BLM patches to moving the All-Star Game, the speaker argues that the league is promoting a certain worldview. If you're tired of the left's attempts to silence conservative voices and impose their ideology on others, tune in to this episode to hear the speaker's take on this important issue.

It feels even more urgent now than when we first released it.In this episode, we unpack one of the most destructive ideas humanity has ever embraced — a belief system at the root of division, oppression, shame, and violence for centuries.It has fueled the mistreatment of ethnic groups, religious minorities, women, LGBTQ people, and so many others. And right now, it's everywhere again.What is this teaching? How does it still shape our world?

We've walked through the theology, the scripture, the Greek and Hebrew — but today we're doing something refreshingly simple: Common sense.We explore the everyday wisdom that makes it absolutely clear: being LGBTQ — and loving who you love — is not sinful. Not even close.No clobber passages. No theological gymnastics. Just real life, real love, and real clarity.We break down:

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Skin Anarchy, award-winning cosmetic chemist and clinical researcher AJ Addae joins Dr. Ekta Yadav for a science-driven conversation that challenges one of skincare's biggest blind spots: why sunscreen still fails so many consumers—especially those with deeper skin tones. What unfolds is a deeper look at formulation chemistry, particle optics, and the gap between sunscreen marketing and how these products actually perform on real skin. AJ shares how her own experiences growing up as a dark-skinned daughter of immigrants shaped her relationship with beauty and science. Long before becoming a cosmetic chemist, she was already questioning why products weren't designed with melanin-rich skin in mind. That curiosity eventually led her into formulation science, where she began investigating the physical behavior of mineral UV filters like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. A central focus of the episode is the science behind white cast. Rather than treating inclusivity as a marketing issue, AJ explains how particle aggregation, light scattering, and suspension stability directly influence how sunscreen appears on the skin. Her research into specialized zinc oxide “tetrapod” structures reveals how changing particle shape—not just adding tint—may significantly improve wearability across skin tones while maintaining UV protection. The conversation also dives into the limitations of SPF testing, the misunderstanding of hyperpigmentation, and why aggressive skincare often worsens long-term skin health instead of improving it. Throughout the episode, AJ advocates for a more rigorous, transparent, and evidence-driven future for cosmetic chemistry. Listen to the full episode to hear AJ Addae break down the science of sunscreen, inclusivity, and why meaningful beauty innovation starts in the lab—not in marketing.Learn more about Sula Labs and AJ AddaeDon't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!Support the show
