When new people find the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, they ask, "Where do I start?" While we'd love for you to go back to the beginning and take them all in, this is for those who need a quick catch-up. We're doing a Rapid Replay Series of condensed episodes, including the most popular episodes according to streams and downloads, as well as a few of our team's personal favorites. This episode is a condensed version of Episode 004: Bioindividuality - A Freedom You've Never Known. (Click HERE for the full, original version instead.) In this episode, host Jamie Belz, FNTP, MHC, explains what "bioindividuality" is and how it entails the understanding, acceptance, and embodiment of the truth. There is no "one-size-fits-all" cookie-cutter approach to health and well-being. Each person is unique and, accordingly, in their approach to and pursuit of optimal wellness. Jamie then walks you through: 1.) Finding a trusted health liaison 2.) Doing a personal audit/health audit using the prompts (below) 3.) Setting goals 4.) Making an action plan/determining action steps 5.) Documenting what you're doing and tracking your findings This episode offers an alternative approach to traditional "New Year's resolutions" and the endless pit of programs, packages, and purchases you can make in pursuit of your wellness goals. This is so simple, it sounds complicated. Don't let it be! Grab a pen and paper, hit PLAY, and get started. _______________ Your Personal Health Inventory / Health Audit (Listen to the audio first) Areas of Consideration Prompts Health Physical Mental/Emotional Spiritual Relationships Spouse/Significant Other/Life Partner Children Parents Siblings Extended Family Friends Neighbors Coworkers/Colleagues/Professional Associates Children's Networks (Teachers, Coaches, Friends' Parents) Environment Home Clean-Tidy Clean-Toxic (Mold, Cleaners, Off-Gassing, Wildfires, etc.) Enjoyable Comfortable Safe Lonely Overwhelming Affordable Hard Work Work Neighborhood Community Digital Space Finances Stability Relationship with money Debt Income Assets Retirement Insurance Charitable giving/Generosity Ability to Provide Career As Employee Job - Satisfaction, Enjoyment, Feel Appreciated, Feel Challenged, Income, Stress, Hours, Coworkers, Supervisor, Purpose, Challenge, Longevity, etc. Confidence, Satisfaction, Quality of Life Impact, Financials, Progress, etc. Education Exercise Diet Sleep Stress Sex Time Management Confidence Physically, Intellectually, Life Stage/Progress/Accomplishments, Productively, Relationally, etc. Points of Consideration/Questions (for everything!) What's going well? What's not? How does it impact my energy? Is it draining or energizing? Does this increase or decrease stress? What am I proud of? What do I need more of? Less of? How am I feeling about that? What brings me the most joy? What seems to come naturally? Do I still need some healing in that area? Why do I avoid that? How satisfied am I with my performance on that? Is something too time consuming? What's the ROI on that? What feels unsettled? Where and when do I feel welcome? Appreciated? Loved? Encouraged? What should I be doing? What should I stop doing? Where am I seeing patterns? Why does that prompt negative self-talk? Who is getting the best of me? Worst of me? Why does that subject draw anxiety? When do I feel most inspired? ...now replace the "what" with "WHO" in these. ____________________ Please remember to subscribe, leave a review, and connect with us! We appreciate you!
Notes and Links to Cole Cuchna's Work Cole Cuchna graduated from California State University with a degree in music composition. Cuchna graduated in 2015, pursued a short solo career, then worked as a barista. But his desire to bridge the classical and pop worlds persisted. He remembered his love of writing essays and conducting deep research about music. That coincided with the growing popularity of podcasting, which had been around for a decade. It was the perfect medium, he felt, for long-form analysis of an audio art. Cole is the host and creator of Dissect Podcast, a music podcast which debuted in 2016. The podcast is renowned for its in-depth analysis of contemporary music. Dissect was named "Best podcast of 2017" by Quartz, and the following year was named "Best podcast of 2018" by The New York Times. Additionally, both Time magazine and The Guardian listed Dissect as one of the top 50 podcasts of 2018. 2025 marks the 13th season of Dissect.

People don't explore enough. They rely on cached thoughts and actions to get through their day. Unfortunately, this doesn't lead to them making progress on their problems. The solution is simple. Just do one new thing a day to solve one of your problems. Intellectually, I've always known that annoying, persistent problems often require just 5 seconds of actual thought. But seeing a number of annoying problems that made my life worse, some even major ones, just yield to the repeated application of a brief burst of thought each day still surprised me. For example, I had a wobbly chair. It was wobbling more as time went on, and I worried it would break. Eventually, I decided to try actually solving the issue. 1 minute and 10 turns of an allen key later, it was fixed. Another example: I have a shot attention span.

We all have our own beliefs, experiences and perspectives when it comes to time. Intellectually, we realize that time is an illusion. There's only the now moment and even though we experience it in a linear way, it's not actually moving. It's one of the more confusing aspects of our reality. So in this episode, Joshua thought it was about time that they explained what time really is.

As most international mediators know, Israel-Palestine is a conflict to avoid. Intellectually, it should be solvable, but in reality it is intractable.In this episode we bring together a Palestinian and an Israeli — Dr Tahani Mustafa of the ECFR and Dr Miriam Rosman of the Dvorah Forum — hoping to move beyond intractable, due to the Gaza ceasefire. It has heralded much hope for a better future, alongside deep confusion as to what such a future can and should hold. However, the discussion ended up reflecting the absence of trust, empathy, or understanding on both sides.This is an important and passionate episode that highlights the significant challenges in even establishing a common starting point for dialogue, let alone negotiation. From history to reality and from humanity to sympathy, there is a long way to go in creating the conditions for negotiation between Israelis and Palestinians.This episode was recorded on 16 October 2025ChaptersDiverging perspectives on the ceasefireIs any path forward?Building trust over traumasFollowTahani Mustafa LinkedIn, European Council on Foreign RelationsMiriam Rosman LinkedIn, Dvorah ForumInstagram @women_leaders_podcastWatch this episode on our YouTube channelOur partner European Leadership Network Twitter LinkedIn Facebook, websiteIlana Bet-ElCreditsProduction: Florence FerrandoMusic: Let Good Times Roll, RA from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/ra/let-good-times-rollLicense code: ZXIIIJUU2ISPZIJTContribute to the conversation with a comment & a 5-⭐️Reach us on our Instagram and follow for updates @women_leaders_podcastWatch now our episode on Youtube Hosted on Acast.

Rupture without Repair, and the Discomfort of Being Misunderstood In this deeply personal episode, Patricia (she/her) unpacks the fallout from a neighborhood rupture and the painful loss of community connection. Through the lens of being autistic and AuDHD, she explores rejection sensitivity, communication breakdowns, friendship trauma, and why repair isn't always possible. She also shares how co-regulation, body doubling, Costco runs, and fierce family love provide grounding. This conversation is raw, tender, and validating for anyone who has struggled with being misunderstood as a neurodivergent person. WHAT YOU'LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE · The neighborhood rupture and how a joke led to exclusion from a community group · What happens when rupture and repair aren't possible in friendships · The autistic need for clarity, communication, and closure · Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD) and how silence feels like rejection · The PDA (persistent drive for autonomy) response to being left out · The pain of friendship trauma and feeling misunderstood · How autistic people process and loop on unresolved conflict · The role of community in belonging and nervous system regulation · Why body doubling and co-regulation help autistic/ADHD brains stay grounded · Finding comfort in Costco runs, small joys, and simple routines · Permission to need rest, wear earplugs, or retreat from sensory overwhelm · Generational differences in friendship and communication between neurodivergent people · Practicing adaptability through change (like moving workspaces at home) · The bittersweet truth: not all friendships are meant to last · Gratitude reframed through an autistic lens—how to find appreciation without bypassing pain SOUND BITES “For us, it felt like there was no space for human mistakes, no place for rupture and repair.” “This activated friendship trauma in me, and I've noticed my protective armor is up.” “Intellectually, I know this is fine. Emotionally, feeling misunderstood and powerless is really hard.” "You have a right to speak up." "Not all friendships last forever." "Life is messy. Friendships are messy." “Body doubling is such a beautiful way to borrow someone else's nervous system to regulate.” “Sensitivity is nothing to apologize for. It's how you're wired. You have the right to take up space.” SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You are not broken. You were shaped by systems that weren't built for you. You deserve rest, joy, and support exactly as you are. TOPICS COVERED (please adjust for addition of introduction) 00:00 Navigating Community Dynamics 08:42 The Impact of Silence and Rejection 17:06 Rupture, Repair, and the Complexity of Relationships 23:52 Finding Joy in Everyday Moments 29:13 Gratitude and Perspective on Life PODCAST HOST Patricia Young (she/her) was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 17 years, but she is now exclusively providing coaching. She knows what it's like to feel like an outcast, misfit, and truthteller. Learning about the trait of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), then learning she is AuDHD with a PDA profile, OCD and RSD, helped Patricia rewrite her history with a deeper understanding, appreciation, and a sense of self-compassion. She created the podcasts Unapologetically Sensitive and Unapologetically AuDHD to help other neurodivergent folks know that they aren't alone, and that having a brain that is wired differently comes with amazing gifts, and some challenges. Patricia works online globally working individually with people, and she teaches Online Courses for neurodivergent folks that focus on understanding what it means to be a sensitive neurodivergent.

Daily Dose of Hope October 6, 2025 Scripture - John 3:1-21 Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are King of Kings and Lord of Lords. We are so amazingly grateful for your grace and love. Forgive us for the many times when we fall short, when we betray you, when we fail to be loving or faithful. We want to grow stronger, Lord, but we can only do so through your power. Lord, help us hear your voice. In the next few moments of silence, Lord, hear our prayers... In Jesus' Name, Amen. Welcome to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the daily Bible reading plan at New Hope Church in Brandon, Florida. Currently, we are doing a deep dive into the Gospels and Acts. Today, we begin a deep dive into John 3. In today's text, we meet Nicodemus, who is a Pharisee and a member of the Jewish ruling council. He is someone who is well-trained in Jewish law and tradition and held in high esteem in his community. And he comes to see Jesus at night. To me, it's interesting that the Scripture points this out. Obviously, Nicodemus is intrigued by Jesus. He has seen the miracles. He has listened to Jesus' teaching. He knows that Jesus knows God in some way, Nicodemus acknowledges that, but he is probably a bit leary of being connected with Jesus. After all, what will the others think? So we don't know if there is some pleasant chit chat between Jesus and Nicodemus, there may have been, but in the Scripture it seems that Jesus wastes no time --- he gets right to the point. He says to Nicodemus, “no one can enter the Kingdom of God unless they are born again.” Then, there is that interesting back and forth dialogue in which Nicodemus says, “well, how in the world can someone enter into their mother's womb a second time?” And Jesus doesn't even respond to that, he says it again “Dude, you can't get into the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit. You must be born again!” Now, Nicodemus would have probably thought that salvation was his because he was born a Jew. He was one of the “chosen people.” Or, he would have thought salvation was his because he knew a whole lot about the law, he had accumulated a lot of information about God, and he was trying hard to apply it. And Jesus is pushing back against that. He says you must be born again, Nicodemus. Yes, Nicodemus, you were born a Jew in your first birth but that isn't enough for you to be saved, to enter God's Kingdom. Yes, Nicodemus, you have lots of information about God, you may even be a really good person, you may attend synagogue, but that isn't enough either. Jesus is saying to Nicodemus, you have to be spiritually reborn. Jesus knew that Nicodemus needed a change of his heart—a spiritual transformation that could only come from above. The phrase “born again” can be translated “born from above.” What Jesus was saying to Nicodemus: Just as your mother gave physical birth to you, if you want to receive salvation and have eternal life, you need the Holy Spirit to give you a spiritual birth. Jesus says, flesh gives birth to flesh but only the Spirit can give birth to spirit. This rebirth is when we go from being spiritually dead to spiritually alive in Jesus Christ. And there is a certain mystery to it. Just as the wind exists in the earthly, physical realm but there is mystery to where it is going and coming from; so there is the same mystery with the Holy Spirit and how he moves and works. How can this be? That was the question Nicodemus asked. Yeah, how can this be? Let's unpack this a bit more. When we were born the first time, we were born inclined to sin, inclined to make bad choices. Think about a toddler. Why do we have to put safety plugs in all our electrical outlets? Because no matter how many times we say no, our little ones defy us and they go straight for that outlet. Because they don't know what's best for them. Our natural inclination is to do what we want to do. From the time of the fall in Genesis to right now, this very second, we as human beings are sinful, broken people. Look at our world. We miss the mark of God's full intention for our lives. Even when we are generally good people, we are far from perfect. We still do things wrong, we hurt people's feelings, we are self-absorbed, we are fearful, we are weak, you get the idea. Just being a good person is not enough. This is the thing - our sin, our brokenness, creates a barrier between us and God. God is holy, totally without sin, and we are a hot mess. If you are out there right now and you are like, “I'm not a hot mess.” I will boldly say to you, “Yes, you are.” We all are. And we can't jump that barrier between us and God. Nothing we can do will close that gap. Nothing. No striving to be good. No racking up spiritual merit badges. Not being born into a Christian family or having a really strong Christian mama. God made a way for us to be right with him, to eliminate that barrier. God himself made a way for us to walk closely with him. You know God's solution to our sin ---- Jesus. (Today's Scripture includes John 3:16 ---- For God so loved the world, that he…) Jesus was God with flesh on. He came voluntarily to demonstrate a different way of doing life AND then he went to the cross. He died on that Roman cross, serving as the final, ultimate sacrifice for sin. You see, when Jesus died on the cross, his blood atoned for our sins. For all of our sins. So, if we believe in him, turn away from our old way of doing life, then we receive salvation. We are spiritually reborn. BORN AGAIN by the Spirit. Jesus did the work and the Holy Spirit applies the blood. You see, when we believe in Jesus Christ, God no longer sees our sin and our mess, he only sees the blood of Jesus. Not only does this ensure that we get to spend eternity with Jesus, we receive new life right now, today. We become new people, new creations (2 cor. 5:17). The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God himself, comes and dwells within us, changing us from the inside out. Being born again means: 1- Acknowledging your sin, turning away from your old life and turning toward God (repentance) 2- Saying yes to Jesus! 3- Being filled with the Holy Spirit. Sometimes, we fail to talk about this last piece and it is so, so, so important. BORN AGAIN by the Spirit. It's the Spirit that allows us to take that first cry of faith, “Jesus, I need you. Jesus, you are Lord.” (2 Cor. 12:3 … no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.). Remember, when we say yes to Jesus, the Spirit of the living God indwells us. And there is POWER is that! Jesus sending the Holy Spirit was how he intended to make his presence in this world real and evident. It's the Holy Spirit that let's us know when we have done something wrong, convicts us of sin. It's the Holy Spirit that helps us hear the voice of God. It's the Holy Spirit that makes our faith real and dynamic and alive. The Holy Spirit gives us boldness to proclaim the Gospel. You can't have the Spirit of the Living God in you and not be changed. If someone is a Christian atheist, then I'm thinking they don't have the Holy Spirit in them. Intellectually consenting to the existence of God, intellectually assenting to the existence of Jesus, being a good person, attending church --- none of those things indicate true salvation, being born again. And we are kidding ourselves when we think that's going to be enough. We, as the church, have failed people, by allowing them to skid by a Christian atheists (A Christian atheist is someone who sees themselves as a Christian but it doesn't affect their life in any way.) Well, at least he is attending church sometimes. Well, at least he is a good guy. Y'all that isn't enough. Going to church does not make someone a Christian. Being a good person does not make someone a Christian. Believing in God does not make someone a Christian. Believing in Jesus, repenting of your sins, and being filled with the Holy Spirit is what makes someone a Christian. Period. Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Tokyo police have arrested four people on suspicion of robbing and abusing a man in his 40s with a mild intellectual disability after forcing him to drink large amounts of whisky, the Metropolitan Police Department said Sept. 26. The suspects — a 22-year-old company worker from Shizuoka Prefecture, a 24-year-old woman from Tokyo, a 21-year-old university student from Hokkaido, and a 19-year-old male restaurant worker — allegedly met the victim through social media and conspired to exploit his condition. Police said the four made the man drink over 700 milliliters of whisky in Tokyo's Nakano Ward in June, stole his smartphone and used about 100,000 yen in electronic money. They also filmed the incident, which included acts of sexual humiliation, and later abandoned the victim near his home and again in Shizuoka Prefecture. All four have admitted to the allegations, according to the police.

In this episode of the Crisis Lab Podcast, host Kyle King breaks down the professional development paradox in emergency management. As challenges grow more complex and interdependent, senior leaders are often stuck between outdated training models and increasing demands. Many find that after 15 years, professional growth slows, leaving them intellectually stranded. Kyle highlights the false choice between tactical training and generic leadership courses, and argues for a third path: intellectual infrastructure that connects seasoned professionals across fields. Drawing from research and real-world conversations, he challenges listeners to rethink how expertise evolves and why staying curious is essential. Show Highlights [00:53] Training cycles vs fast-moving demands [01:40] Fundamentals and cross-sector challenges [02:05] After-action reviews and slow adaptation [03:14] Climate, cyber, and supply chain risks [03:40] Generalist or tactical: a false choice [04:09] Two categories of development, and the gap [05:11] Burnout, low pay, and lack of strategy [06:20] The silo trap of deep expertise [07:33] Routine vs adaptive expertise [09:42] Why leadership programs fall short [11:06] The convergence of complexity and missing support [12:02] What intellectual infrastructure should provide [14:23] The Forum as a new model [16:00] When were you last curious about your field? If that question made you pause, you are not alone. Many experienced professionals are facing complex challenges with training models that no longer fit the realities they work in. The Forum at Crisis Lab was created to give senior leaders a space to learn with peers, test new ideas, and stay sharp in a changing environment.
Intellectually we know that science and the Catholic faith have to line up - but the world screams that they don't. Well, what if the world is wrong? What if science itself can prove that the Bible and the Christian faith is true? Join me in the next episode of Catholic Life Coach For Men as my guest Doug Ell and I talk about how we understand our faith in light of our scientific wisdom. This episode is a little bit different. Instead of purely being an interview, it's more like two scientists sitting around a campfire discussing theology.

The Sermons on the Amount - Part 2 "Owner - A Question: Who is Lord Over All?" MESSAGE SUMMARY: This Sermon series assembles important Biblical references to all aspects of money and finances and their influence and impact on us; therefore, helping us to apply these Scriptures to our lives today. The reason for this series is because money and possessions have captivated our culture. In Colossians 1:16, Paul establishes Jesus' Divinity and primacy: “For him {Jesus} all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.". Jesus is the Creator and owner of all things both Earthly and Universally. Also, the Psalmist, in Psalms 24:1-2, establishes the supremacy of God's “ownership” of all things: “The earth is the LORD's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein, for he has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers.". God's aspects of “ownership” include our: 1) time – we can't change time or add time to a twenty-four-hour day or our earthly lives; 2) land – we are but passing through with only temporary stewardship for the land we occupy before our death; 3) animals – God created and owns all animal life; 4) gold, money and finances – as God tells us in Haggai 2:8: “The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, declares the LORD of hosts.”; and 5) all that we possess (tangible and intangible) – health, mind, family heritage, creativity, bodies. When we realize that Jesus owns everything, even though we have worked hard to obtain and enjoy the benefits of land, money, time and the other tangible and intangible components of our lives then and only then do we obtain a freedom to truly live our lives to the fullest. Everything that we “have” and “enjoy” is because of and from the ownership of God, as we are told in 1 Chronicles 29:14-15: “But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able thus to offer willingly? For all things come from you, and of your own have we given you. For we are strangers before you and sojourners, as all our fathers were. Our days on the earth are like a shadow, and there is no abiding.”. Jesus is either the Lord over all, or He is not the Lord at all! In the New Testament, the word “Lord” means the one that rules over us for our own good. In these times today, we must be intentional to have Jesus as the “Lord” over our lives, money and possessions. Intellectually, we must come to a place where we recognize and accept that Jesus is the owner. Most people in Western Christianity never come to this realization and acceptance of Jesus' ownership and “Lord” over all. The Lord wants to bless us and reward us while we recognize His ownership and use, to His name, of all that He has permitted us to use and possess in our lifetime. It helps to openly acknowledge God's ownership of all that we possess – acknowledge to God that we are in partnership with Him for all that He has permitted us to possess while we are on this earth. In his writings, Andrew Murray recommends guidelines that we: 1) receive all our money with thanksgiving and as coming from God; 2) lay everything down before God as belonging to Him; 3) let our dealings with money be a part of our spiritual life; and 4) make the study of the Word of God, relating to finances and money, become a key part of our lives. TODAY'S PRAYER: Keeping the Sabbath, Lord, will require a lot of changes in the way I am living life. Teach me, Lord, how to take the next step with this in a way that fits my unique personality and situation. Help me to trust you with all that will remain unfinished and to enjoy my humble place in your very large world. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 129). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM RIGHTEOUS IN GOD'S EYES. God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 5:21 SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Matthew 6:19-24; Colossians 1:15-20; Psalms 24:1-2; 2 Peter 3:8; Matthew 6:27; Leviticus 25:23; Daniel 4:17-30; Deuteronomy 8:18: Psalms 50:10; Matthew 6:26; Haggai 2:8; Job 1:20-21; 1 Corinthians 6:19; 1 Chronicles 29:14-15.

Most people don't like to think about death. Death is a really crucial thing to understand, because according to the Buddha our mind will continue to another life and we've got a long term goal of Buddhahood, which indeed could take us countless lifetimes, so you've got to have a very serious long term plan. Death is an extremely important stage in this development. As Lama Zopa Rinpoche says - actually if you want to help anybody in this life, the time they need you most, is at the time of death. There are two approaches to preparing for death. One is to live your life well, so that when death comes you are ready for it and relaxed. The second one is what to do during the months, weeks, days, and hours before death; at the time the breath stops, and three days after that. Why is it so important to help a person die well? Because at the time of death, the karmic seed planted in the mind of that person, that will determine their next life, is triggered as the death process starts. The crucial piece, and without this we won't be able to be ready for death, no matter how many people are helping us, the crucial one is how to live our lives. To see death in the framework of how to live your life, and that means we have to understand Buddha's views about karma, ethics, and the mind. Buddha's first teaching is about impermanence, that everything changes. We are impermanent. We have this very powerful deep view that clings to ourselves and things as unchanging. Intellectually we know it's not true, but if we look into our incredible fear of change, it's pretty evident. Atisha in his Lamrim text tells us that we need to realise impermanence, particularly the impermanence of death, his agenda is to give us a wake up call to not want to waste our lives, Death is definite, the time of death is uncertain, and at the time of death what is important - virtuous karmic seeds in our mind being triggered. That's the basis for good ethics in Buddhism. The point of ethics is because that's what produces you. You are the beneficiary of your good ethics. You receive the results of your negative and positive actions. It's a natural law. It's best to think - I will die today, because we live in fear of death, we live in denial of it. You want to think about how death will come, so you don't waste this life. What does it mean not to waste this life - it's completely rooted in the view of karma and ethics, that you want to put as many positive seeds into your mind, because you're going to be living another life and you better prepare for it baby! Venerable Robina mentions Lama Zopa Rinpoche's book - ‘How to Face Death without Fear'. Questions about - what is nirvana, what is the fear of death, what hope do we have to realise emptiness, what is defined as the time of death, control over when you die, what determines when death comes, and prayers and practices?

ESPN fraud Pat McAfee (he completely forgets to use the F word on College GameDay but uses it on his own ESPN show)...what happened to KEEPIN' IT REAL?Flabby McAfee threw derision at prominent New York Knicks fans on the Indianapolis arena microphone ahead of the Pacers vs Knicks NBA playoffs game. He even threw some garbage language in his rant to further the notion that taking your kids to a ballgame is a skeezy proposition.Cranky faded pop singer John Cougar Mellencamp actually made a valid point by posting to social media that McAfee's boorish behavior does not project HOOSIER HOSPITALITY."I was embarrassed when somebody, under whose direction I don't know, called out some of the people who had made the trip from New York (to support the Knicks)...it was poor sportsmanship...I was not proud to be a Hoosier."Well done, Mellencamp.
Letting ourselves down is one of the deepest betrayals that we humans can experience. It feels like such a harsh gut punch when it is something we know we should have been able to do. After we let ourselves down in such a powerful way, our subconscious will do everything in its power, through resistance to take action so as to keep us safe. It reasons that since it was so painful to let ourselves down, the way to avoid that pain in the future is simply not to commit to something better. Intellectually we know this is a bad plan, but the resistance will persist, trying (and often succeeding) to hold us back. This week in the podcast we look at why we created this resistance, how to overcome it in the moment, and how to avoid it in the future. If you are serious about healing and transformation, clearing the resistance to making commitments to yourself is essential. Support the podcast!

The Farrelly Report - on what became known as the Grace case - was published a short time ago following eight years and a spend of over 13 million euro, reporter Barry Lenihan was at Government Buildings where the report was presented. Also hear reaction from Fianna Fail TD John McGuinness.
Have you ever felt stuck between grace and guilt? Intellectually we believe God, in His grace and that He's willing to forgive us. But emotionally, we struggle to forgive ourselves. Today we look at how forgiveness takes place in God's heart, but healing has to happen in our heart. Ultimately, the Bible tells us God wants us to get past our guilt.

Timothy grew up in Christianity but ran into a crisis of faith when he encountered other world views. He spent a few years as an agnostic trying to figure things out. Timothy eventually landed on Christianity, but only intellectually convinced. It was a while after that before he experienced the power and transformation of his heart that comes from Christianity. Timothy now writes articles related to the Christian faith. You can read his blog at trinitariannut.wordpress.com or listen to his YouTube channel at YouTube Channel. Timothy
In the first half, psychiatrist Carole Lieberman discussed the impact of UFO disclosure, and the potential reaction from Americans if and when proof of alien existence is revealed. Speaking of the increased drone reports in recent months, such as in New York and New Jersey, she expressed frustration over the government's inconsistent explanations regarding unidentified flying objects, stating, "The answers have been very different... none of them seemed like truth." Lieberman linked this lack of transparency to a growing sense of helplessness among the public, which she believes intensified during the COVID-19 pandemic. She remarked, "We have just kind of given up our American spirit... feeling that we can't control things in our world."When asked about the nature of the drones, Lieberman speculated that they might not be extraterrestrial but rather advanced technology from either the US or China. Touching on the psychological impact of potential alien encounters, she suggested that societal trauma from recent events might affect emotional responses. "Intellectually, we can handle it... but emotionally, we have been beaten down." Individual reactions, she continued, would vary based on personal beliefs shaped by media portrayals of aliens, from optimistic depictions in films like "ET" to more sinister interpretations in classics like "Invasion of the Body Snatchers." As to how she would help her clients come to terms with such a revelation, she would help them reframe their fears and explore their beliefs about aliens. "I would try to get people to think more positively about it, to give this situation a chance," she explained.-----------------In the latter half, astrologer and channeler Mercedes Arnús Arraut delved into the profound connections between astrology, consciousness, personal growth, and spirituality. She described astrology as "the study of planetary movements and their impact on Earth," emphasizing its role as a mirror reflecting our lives. Speaking of astrology's healing potential, she asserted that "the mind is what creates sickness in the body" and that understanding these patterns through astrology can lead to significant emotional and physical healing. On the topic of planetary alignments, she stated, "Whatever happens in the sky, we're going to feel it on planet Earth," reinforcing the idea that cosmic events can have profound effects on our collective consciousness, both positive and negative.Arraut said that astrology is referenced in the Bible, but many overlook this, as they don't know how to interpret these passages. She touched on her work as a channeler, which she said enhances her ability to do astrology readings. Highlighting the transformative power of astrology readings, she shared that many of her clients initially seek constant guidance but eventually realize the importance of self-discovery. "You cannot create such a dependency on astrology... you've got to build that source within yourself," she advised. Arraut also stressed the value of meditation and turning off the "monkey mind" in order to access deeper wisdom. During the last hour, she gave astrological readings for callers based on their birth dates.

Randy Blythe is the lead singer and songwriter for the heavy metal band, Lamb of God. He writes and sings, you might call it yelling...even growling, very angry, aggressive, and dark music. He has the sordid past you would expect. Severe alcoholism. Jail time for manslaughter charges. You might be surprised, or not, that he's the son of a Southern Baptist pastor. And Randy has just written his second book, called Just Beyond the Light: Making Peace with the Wars Inside Our Head. I was sent an advanced copy of the book and I found Randy to be an incredibly introspective, insightful and intellectually sober individual who I resonated with significantly. His music career started in punk rock and was very political and rebelling against society. Today however, Randy readily admits the one-sided judgement of it all. He says, “If something is worth believing in…a political, religious or humanitarian position…surely it should withstand rigorous examination from a rational, educated observer with critical thinking.” He goes on to say, “If you are unwilling to question your own beliefs and just accept them at face value…you are driven by fear." He shares that he finally realized, "his own head was lying to him" and the war inside his head and the incessant conflict was just his daily, constantly shifting perception of reality. I feel this is the war in all of our heads, and it's where my primary interest as of late is. Following is my conversation with Randy to dig into his experience and discuss our shared views on perception and reality. I found Randy incredibly thoughtful and humble, and am going to join him in Denver in a couple weeks during his national Spoken Word tour to get to know each other more. You can check out his book, Just Beyond the Light, and find him by searching for Randy Blythe.

Talking religion with people of different faiths can get to heated argumentative rather than having a civil discussion. Tempers and passions can flair with new understandings being lost.

The most common instruction in the Bible is "do not be afraid," yet we humans are frequently fearful and worrisome. What's worse is that often we don't even recognize the deeper fears. These are the fears that cause us to pull back from God. Most men suffer from one of the following three fears: God has some limit. I'm too bad or broken for God to love My choices are too terrible for God to love Intellectually we may deny it - intellectually we know those aren't true. But deep down that fear can drive us to live our lives in a way that keeps us away from the Lord. Join me in this episode as I explore these fears and how to confront them. In order to trust the Lord and say "yes" to His will, we need a deeper humility and willingness to surrender. All God requires of us is to align our will to His. Do not worry about the rest.

As a young woman in an Islamic culture in Central Asia, Sara was drawn to stories of Jesus. He was a good man, she thought, one whose life matched his teachings. But how could Jesus be God? Sara wrestled deeply with this question in her search for truth. Intellectually, she found the Bible to be true, but she couldn't commit to everything it said. Eternal life was attractive, but the idea that Jesus was God was confusing to her. Sara poured herself into studying different religions, desperate to figure out how she could be confident she'd go to heaven when she died. She prayed, “God, there should be only one way to you.” Sara loved the Bible study she joined at a local church. She was attracted by the love Christians had for each other, even being willing to share their weaknesses and struggles. Everything about Jesus and his followers was attractive to Sara. After so much study and so many questions, Sara heard God's voice—speaking to her in her own language. “You need to make a decision.” She knew it was God himself speaking with love, authority, gentleness, and power. Sara remembered reading John 14:6 where Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and they life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Listen to hear how Sara came to understand Jesus as the perfect sacrifice for her sin and the peace he gave to overcome her anxieties. Join us next week to hear the price Sara paid for her faith in Christ. Never miss an episode of VOM Radio! Subscribe to the podcast.
Federal prosecutors have attempted to tie Indigenous political prisoner Leonard Peltier to the murder of fellow AIM activist, Anna Mae Pictou-Aquash. It is a frequent allegation that has relied on weak evidence and the charges of paid federal informants. In this episode, TRN Podcast co-host Nick Estes (@nickwestes) looks at several sources of information from key Indigenous activists who knew Leonard Peltier and Anna Mae Pictou-Aquash to the FBI's own knowledge of her murder at the time it happened and federal prosecutors' initial hesitancy to take up the case.

December 14, 2020 Intellectually dishonest hate-monger Paul DeMain has reignited his campaign to assure denial of any Executive Clemency to LEONARD PELTIER, 76, at any time before Leonard's next scheduled Parole Hearing in Year 2024 with a continued misuse and abuse of the December 1975 gunshot death of ANNA MAE AQUASH and the unconscionable exploitation of Anna Mae Pictou-Aquash's children. Assembly of First Nations National Chief Perry Bellegarde makes significant points in this 2016 article in which the 1975 Aquash death became the center point in President Barack Obama's decision to deny Clemency to Peltier: “I regret that my statement caused some hurt and pain and I apologize for the pain I caused her [Denise Maloney Pictou] and her family,” said Bellegarde. “That wasn't my intent.” Bellegarde said he still would like to see Peltier freed. He said the case is a separate issue from AIM's execution of Aquash. “I called for that (Peltier's release) because there is an injustice there,” said Bellegarde. “So I will continue to advocate for that.” Bellegarde said two previous AFN national chiefs have made the same call which is also backed by Amnesty International and prominent individuals like the Dalai Lama. Peltier was extradited from Canada to the U.S. in December 1976. Warren Allmand, Canada's solicitor general at the time of Peltier's extradition, has since stated the F.B.I submitted false information to have Peltier extradited." DeMain's posting of Aquash daughter Denise Maloney Pictou's December 12, 2020, renewed accusations against Leonard Peltier and DeMain's hated AIM organization [re-Posted here in Comment 1] are the beginning of a campaign to assure that 2020 President-Elect Joe Biden will not grant Executive Clemency to Leonard Peltier. In death and posthumously, Anna Mae has been made a sainted heroine. But between 1972 and November 14, 1975, Anna Mae's ways were AIM's ways. AIM's ways - good and bad - were without qualification or reservation Anna Mae's ways, by choice. At NCAI in November, American Indian Press Association's (AIPA) Richard LaCourse told me of his meeting with Dennis Banks, Leonard Peltier, Kamook Banks, and Anna Mae just before his coming to Portland for NCAI.. Anna Mae then had indicated no distress nor given any indication that she was being held prisoner or against her will. On November 14, 1975, the four AIM "leaders" only broke apart because of the Ontario, Oregon stopping of their [Marlon Brando] recreational vehicle by armed Oregon police. A couple days later, Leonard Peltier was transported (through Franks Landing) from Portland into British Columbia (by associates of mine, who did not inform me then of their activity). He spent the next month in the locale he was taken to and remained incommunicado with U.S. colleagues until later, at least until he traveled to Small Boy's camp in Alberta, Canada. That is where the RCMP and FBI picked up on Leonard - long after Anna Mae Aquash's death in the second week of December 1975. Memorandum in the FBI's Denver Office dated as early as December 19, 1975 disclosed Anna Mae Aquash had been killed - although the FBI would feign ignorance of the death and the corpse identity for more than the next three months. The December 1975 memos identified the killers as John "Boy" Graham, Arlo Looking Cloud, and Theda Nelson Clarke - although none of the three were indicted through the next 28 years. The Looking Cloud trial was held in December 2004; Graham's in 2010 - lapses of 29 and 35 years. Theda Nelson - a likely FBI Informant in December 1975 - (on mental competency findings) did not go to trial. Clark died at age 87 in 2011. Although a lead prosecutor opened the Leonard Peltier trial in Fargo, North Dakota on March 16, 1977 declaring: "AIM is not on trial."; both AIM and Leonard Peltier were made the main 'defendants' in the 2004 and 2010 trials for the killing of Anna Mae Aquash! If there was ever a case where all parties - prosecution, defense and all witnesses - acted in friendly collusion to 'convict' undefended and absent non-parties [1st Leonard Peltier; 2nd AIM] - the Looking Cloud and Graham trials were such cases. The fodder for the trial's conspiratorial claptrap largely was wrung from the mind and imagination of Paul DeMain in his relentless vendetta against AIM leaders and most creatively against Leonard Peltier. Many of his unsubstantiated claims were rejected by author Steven Hendricks when writing "The Unquiet Grave" (2007). DeMain "Timelines" for Anna Mae Pictou have since focused on the AIM Convention in New Mexico just prior to the Jumping Bull Compound deaths of FBI Agents on Pine Ridge on June 26, 1975 leading to the 1977 life sentence convictions of Peltier. The design is intended to prejudice considerations against any grant of parole or clemency for Peltier. Canada's Assembly of First Nation is correct in declaring the "execution" of Anna Mae Aquash and the pursuit of "freedom" for Leonard Peltier on compassionate and humanitarian grounds are "separate issues." They are correct in continuing their support for Executive Clemency through offices of both the Canadian Prime Minister and any U.S. President. What satisfaction can President Elect Biden derive from side-stepping all humanitarian and compassionate considerations for Leonard Peltier through a first term, deferring any favorable consideration to the scheduled Parole Hearing in 2024? The Pardons Office of a bureaucratic and prejudiced Justice Department housing the FBI has already failed the last four Presidents of the United States in this matter! Will retribution finally end if Leonard Peltier is still alive in 2024 and then 80 years old? Indians of Western Washington who transported Leonard Peltier to Canada on or about November 17, 1975, and Indians of British Columbia who hosted and concealed him for the next month or until beyond when the FBI first was informed of Anna Mae's death and the identity of her killers can attest to Leonard's movements and communications (record) that wholly absolve Leonard Peltier of any direct or indirect role in the December 1975 murder of Anna Mae Pictou-Aquash.
