Former Governor John Kasich has spent his life bringing people together to tackle tough problems, guided by a deep belief that we all have a role to play in making the world a little better than we found it. As a former Ohio governor and four-time New York Times bestselling author, it's his deep commitment to faith and building community that matters most to him. Today, John Kasich shares why he believes the antidote to our cultural division isn't politics — it's purpose. Hear John share about his working-class roots, how losing his parents to a drunk driver deepened his faith, and why he believes real change always begins from the bottom up. He also reveals the stories behind his new book Heaven Help Us, which highlights unsung heroes whose love, compassion, and faith are quietly transforming communities across the country. My friends, whether you consider yourself a Republican, Democrat, Independent or something completely different, this conversation is for you. You'll leave reminded that you matter, that your choices ripple, and that faith—when lived boldly and lovingly—can unite, heal, and change the world.

Independent emergency physician Kenneth Ro discusses his article, "From survival to sovereignty: What 35 years in the ER taught me about identity, mortality, and redemption." He shares his deeply personal journey, from growing up as a bullied Korean American boy in Texas who used academic achievement as "armor," to a 35-year career on the front lines of the ER. Kenneth explains how the unprocessed trauma from his work—bookended by the AIDS and COVID-19 pandemics—led to a life of compartmentalization and addiction, creating two versions of himself: one who saved lives and one who sabotaged his own. The conversation explores his spiritual awakening and how he began to dismantle an identity built on perfection and pain. Kenneth introduces his new personal mission, the Nova Oath™, which evolves the Hippocratic principle of "do no harm" to "do more good" by prioritizing integrity, self-care, and presence over performance. This is a story of turning scars into scaffolding and choosing to consciously write a new, more honest chapter in life. Careers by KevinMD is your gateway to health care success.

In the land of the Condor, near the base of the tallest mountain in the Western hemisphere, an Incan community lived. The people hunted, along the sheer hillsides, they farmed, they collected water from the river gushing from snowmelt. They had children, built families, and passed on traditions to generations of descendants.The land was cold, inhospitable, but their village grew and their community thrived at the far Southern reaches of the vast Incan empire, in present-day Argentina. Today, centuries have passed, the people are gone, but the stones and dirt that made their homes remain. The stories and language of their ancestors have been lost to time. But their spirits remain. And the ruins remember.This is episode 60 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

In addition to being an actress, Schuyler Fisk (pronounced Skylar) is a noted singer/songwriter. From the beginning, she has marched to the beat of her own drummer, carving a low-friction, roots-pop path that favors sincerity over flash and homegrown hustle over industry hype. After signing with Universal Records and experiencing a bit of major-label chin-channery, Fisk trusted her gut and asked to be released from her contract to pursue an independent path. Schuyler recently stopped by Thunderlove Studio to talk about that independent path, and this is our conversation. LINKS Schuyler Fisk Anna K The Chicken Sisters

So you're getting out of your emotionally and spiritually abusive marriage (congratulations, by the way, you're a hero), and you think the hard part is over? Honey, buckle up. This episode pulls back the curtain on what actually goes down in family court and why women like you and me need to step into the CEO role of our divorce process.I talk with Amy Polacko, a woman who's been through it, wrote a book about it, and now helps other women survive it. We cover everything from strategic silence and choosing the right attorney, to the "he's such a good guy" nonsense that courts just eat up.Here's the low-down: You could be framed. Literally. Not metaphorically. Actually framed. So let's talk about how to not let that happen.Key Takeaways: You must be the CEO of your divorce. Do not—I repeat, do NOT—hand the wheel to someone else and hope for the best.The justice system isn't always just. Especially if you're a woman who dares to leave an abuser.Document everything and hire smart. Get a coach before you get an attorney. Better yet, get Amy. Abusers have a playbook. And Amy knows what's on every page.Your “Christian” husband might still screw you over. Faith language doesn't mean he's safe. It might just mean he's scarier.Kids grow up. Even if you lose custody, there's hope. Connection isn't court-mandated, it's soul-deep. We'll talk about what to do if the unthinkable happens.Read the full show notes and/or ask Natalie a question hereRelated Resources:Check out Amy's website and get some one-on-one coaching with her.Get Amy's FREE resource, 10 Divorce Mistakes You Can't Afford to Make. Get the Proactive Playbook for Divorce or take her course, Divorce Decoded.Read her co-authored book, Framed: Women in the Family Court Underworld.Connect with Amy on Instagram. Go listen to some related Flying Free Podcast episodes, including “Winning Child Custody & Divorce Battles” and “How to Be the Parent Your Child Needs During Divorce.” And of course, consider joining the Flying Free Kaleidoscope where we make education and support for Christian women in emotionally abusive marriages (or making their exit) affordable and life-changing.

Few people have contributed more to cinema and cinephilia in the last 50 years than Dave Kehr. He'd have some claim to this title solely as a major critical voice, his work remaining currency decades hence––just look at the popular Not Dave Kehr Letterboxd account for a symbol of his enduring prominence. As a film curator at the Museum of Modern Art, however, Kehr has emboldened one of the world's foremost cinema cultures with year-round programming that combines classic titles with far-flung finds. With the third edition of Silent Movie Week beginning at MoMA on July 30, I had the pleasure of speaking with Dave about their lineup, the major advancements made in digital restoration, a discussion of how exactly one puts together a series like this, and (lest you think this is all about my ego) why a presumption of mine was, in fact, incorrect. Plus: his pick––surprising to some, not to me––for the best film to premiere in recent years.

Connor McFarlane, local student and independent filmmaker, is set to release his newest project “Thrifters.” Having an interest in filmmaking from a young age, this is not his debut release, but his most ambitious yet.

On the Northeastern Brazilian coast, in the region of Alcântara, Maranhão, there are dozens of traditional villages of Black communities. Their families have lived here for generations — farming and fishing. They are known as quilombos. These villages were founded by their ancestors, who were either freed or who escaped enslavement on the plantations of Brazil.There are thousands of quilombos across Brazil. But only a small number have the titles to their lands. And many are under threat from development projects, resource extraction, Big Ag, and real estate. This was the story in Alcântara, where these communities have faced removal and threats from Brazil's Alcântara Space Center. But they have fought back.This is episode 59 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

Wag!, one of the largest gig economy pet care platforms, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and is undergoing a rapid restructuring. This episode explores the deeper issues behind Wag's financial collapse, including its flawed business model, sitter churn, and lack of consistent, relationship-driven care. The discussion highlights how investor interest is shifting away from gig platforms toward higher-margin services like pet insurance and veterinary e-commerce. Independent pet care providers are uniquely positioned to meet modern client expectations through professionalism, trust, and personalized service. As the industry changes, quality and consistency are emerging as the new standard in pet care. Main Topics Wag!'s Chapter 11 bankruptcy Gig economy pet care flaws Independent sitter advantages Investor market shifts Trust, consistency, and professionalism Main Takeaway: “Pet care isn't like ride-sharing—you can't just put a body in front of a dog and call it service.” Apps may make booking easy, but ease doesn't equal quality. True pet care is built on trust, consistency, and connection—not convenience alone. Your clients want to know who's walking their dog, how they're trained, and that they'll actually show up and care. That's something no algorithm can guarantee. This is why independent pet care professionals matter now more than ever.

In this episode, Mansi Zaveri dives deep into a powerful idea:The true role of parents and educators isn't just to teach, it's to ignite a love for learning that lasts even when we're not around.She explores how we can move away from rigid systems and fixed timetables, and instead create environments that encourage curiosity, independence, and exploration. Because the goal isn't just to raise children who know what to do, it's to raise thinkers who ask why, how, and what if.Tune in for honest reflections, practical tips, and a mindset shift that every parent and educator needs to hear.Support the show

The sermon explores the origin of suffering, arguing that it is not a consequence of divine action but rather a result of human choices and supernatural rebellion. Beginning with the perfect creation described in Genesis, the message traces suffering to Satan's initial fall, followed by the introduction of selfishness through Eve's disobedience, and ultimately to the pervasive nature of sin itself. The speaker emphasizes that understanding this historical progression is crucial for grappling with life's most difficult questions, offering a framework for comprehending suffering not as God's will, but as a consequence of choices that defy divine order, while promising further exploration of solutions in subsequent lessons.

The sermon explores the pervasive nature of toxicity within the church, emphasizing that even good people can unintentionally cause harm through unrealistic expectations, unresolved issues, misunderstandings of scripture, fear of change, and a lack of maturity. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 10 and Psalms 133, the message underscores the importance of unity and encourages listeners to cultivate emotional and spiritual maturity, actively seeking resolution and open communication to foster a supportive and unified community, while also presenting the gospel to those who are lost and seeking a relationship with Christ.

My name is Norman and my goal is to help you thrive as a follower of Jesus. The spiritual life is simple in many ways, but potentially the most difficult part of your life. God invites you to grow, to live intentionally and to join in His mission. It's very cool that we can do that together! Thank you for joining me today! “If you're new here, you can check out past episodes at runwithhorses.net. As always, I appreciate your feedback, questions, and reviews!”   **(23:00 – 0:00)* *  PART 1   **(00:00) END PART 1** **(27:00 – 5:00) BEGIN PART 2*   Part 1: What Are We Making?   Big Idea: Churches often aim for “converts” or “Christians” in name, but not reproducing disciple-makers.   1. I'm still processing the lessons from the GARBC Conference and today I a focusing on some of the comments by Tim Walker - Pastor of Restored Church in WIlkes-Barre, PA.   •Raise the contrast: “Are we making churchgoers or Christ-followers?”   If the disciple you make doesn't make a disciple, have you fully made a disciple? The question is really, what are you making?  Often I think the answer is, we are making Christians, and that means something different than genuine followers of Jesus. And definitively something less than disciple makers.   2. Clarifying Definitions •Disciple: Apprentice of Jesus. •Not just knowledge, but obedience and transformation. •Not just attending, but multiplying. •Disciple-maker: Someone who walks alongside others to help them become more like Jesus — and teaches them to do the same.   3. Judo Illustration •Great visual! Consider structuring like this: 1.Knowledge – Learning the basics of Jesus' teaching. 2.Training – Spiritual disciplines, habits, community. 3.Practice – Real-life obedience, failure, growth. 4.Engagement – Helping others through the same path.   Jesus' model — He taught, demonstrated, let disciples try, corrected them, then sent them.   ⸻   Part 2: Biblical Model – 2 Timothy 2:1–7   2 Timothy 2:1-7 - You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. 3 You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier. 5 And also if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules. 6 The hardworking farmer must be first to partake of the crops. 7 Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things.   1. Paul's Command to Timothy •Four Generations of discipleship: Paul → Timothy → Faithful men → Others •Challenge: Is that chain continuing through us?   2. The Three Illustrations   Structure each one with: •Role •What faithfulness looks like •How it connects to discipleship   ⸻   A. The Soldier •Characteristics: Endurance, single focus, sacrifice •Danger of distraction: “Entangled in civilian affairs” •Application: Have we become entangled with church programming, comfort, or cultural expectations?   B. The Athlete •Characteristics: Obedience to the rules, discipline, training •Application: Are we training people to obey everything Jesus commanded (Matt. 28:20), or just to attend services?   The athlete doesn't win by enthusiasm alone—faithful repetition, intentional growth.   C. The Farmer •Characteristics: Patience, seasonal awareness, daily labor •Application: Are we cultivating spiritual lives with care, or expecting growth without effort?   Discipleship is often slow, messy, and deeply relational.   ⸻   Part 3: What Is Our Church Producing?   “Every system is perfectly designed to get the results it's getting.” – Classic truth.   1. Evaluate the Fruit •What is your church or small group producing? •Are people becoming: •Independent consumers of content? •Or interdependent contributors to the mission?   2. Cultural Distractions •The modern pull toward: •Safety •Security •Comfort •Convenience •Contrast with Jesus' call: •Deny yourself, take up your cross, follow Me (Mark 8:34) •Intentional sacrifice is part of the pathway to becoming a disciple.   ⸻   Conclusion: Future Church Insight •Quote Will Mancini: “The American church is strong on theology, sermons, and leadership. It is weak on making disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus.”   1. Summary •Making disciples must include the vision of multiplication. It is teaching people how to multiply, and giving them the encouragement and support they need to live it out. •True faithfulness means preparing others to do the work of the ministry.   2. Challenge •Evaluate your life: Who are you discipling? •Is the pathway clear, intentional, reproducible? •Are you willing to embrace sacrifice, discipline, and slow growth?   ⸻   Additional Thoughts You Could Consider Including •Matthew 28:19-20: The Great Commission is not just evangelism. It's teaching people to obey — long-term transformation.   Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age   •Jesus' model: He spent 3 years with 12 men. That was His “church growth strategy.” •Barriers to Disciple-Making: •Fear of inadequacy •Busyness •Over-reliance on pastors or programs •Lack of clear models •Encouragement: You don't need to be a theologian — just be a step ahead and willing to walk with someone else.   **(1:00)**  Disciple making is the life-long pursuit of Jesus lived out in your relationships. We all have the ongoing responsibility to invest in the lives of those around us helping them take steps towards Jesus. For some it is the first step. For many it is the next step. Pass on what you learn and live to others who will live it out and pass it on.   – “Thank you for listening today!  -If you enjoyed the show you can listen to all the past shows wherever you listen to podcasts.

Welcome to The B-Side! Here we talk about movie stars, movie directors, and sometimes - sometimes - the companies that made the movies those stars and directors made! We were lucky to speak with Christine Vachon and Pamela Koffler of Killer Films in honor of Metrograph's 30th Anniversary program, with screenings starting on August 2, 2025. Vachon and Koffler speak on curating the celebratory program, which includes Office Killer. We also dish on myself and Conor's time as interns at Killer many years ago, some B-Sides (including A Home at the End of the World, The Safety of Objects, Dark Waters), and how Killer has survived this ever-changing industry of independent film. There's a wonderful discussion about wigs in film (prompted by Colin Farrell's bad wig in the first act of A Home at the End of the World), an appreciation of Dark Waters getting made and getting discovered to this day, and line producers “carrying the burden of the budget.” Vachon mourns The Safety of Objects being swallowed by the tragedy of 9/11 while Koffler suggests why the independent ensemble drama has gone by the wayside. There's discussion on the dangers of saying “good enough” during pre-production as well as Vachon and Koffler shouting out Killer Films B-Sides they personally love (The World to Come, Vox Lux, Dirty Girl). I shout out She Came to Me, an underrated, recent gem.

What's it like behind the scenes of the independent movement? What does the future look like and who will be the candidates that emerge as leaders of the movement? They're important questions we've explored now for years and this week we've got a rare opportunity to share with you, the true independent Americans.This week, our host Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) was joined by past guest and independent veteran candidate for Senate from Idaho Todd Achilles, California candidate for Governor Ethan Penner, and Tennessee's Khalil Ekulona for a discussion about what the future of the movement looks like and how it will take shape. It was part of a fascinating day of panel discussions featuring leaders from Forward Party, Veterans for All Voters and many other leading organizations in the independent space as well as a session with Joe Manchin and his daughter, former Colorado Congressman Ken Buck and many other notable speakers. The event was organized by our good friends at the Independent Center and was hopefully the first of many conversations like this. Not everyone that was there agreed about how to approach the challenges of the future, but we all agree on one thing. Independents are the future. And this event was in part about independents planting a flag in Washington DC and claiming what is rightfully all of ours. The movement is young and growing, and these are the kind of events that can prove historic. And these are the kind of leaders that can make history.  Because Independent Americans is built on the Righteous Media 5 Is: independence, integrity, information, inspiration and impact.
