The Father Hoods spin it back with another #throwback gem, revisiting a moment where the DJ EFN, Manny Digital, and KGB got deep about the parts of parenting most people keep quiet. Manny opens the convo with a real heart piece — the power of showing love to your kids, especially our sons, and why affection matters more than we admit. The Dads break down their own styles and how they stay intentional with them. DJ EFN jumps in with a flashback update from the time his partner was pregnant with their second child. He shared how he's wanted another daughter, handling that second-time-around calm, and the difference between first-kid chaos and seasoned parenting confidence. Then the table turns to a universal parent truth: the thoughts that keep you up at night. The future of our kids. Mortality. That heavy paternal anxiety every dad wrestles with sooner or later. Before the throwback wraps, Manny steps in with a quick flex. The Father Hoods website is officially up, locked in as the hub for all the episodes and other Father Hoods content.

In this episode Ken continues his series on the Old Testament concept of shalom and what he argues is God's intended design for the world, further unpacking this beautiful vision. He talks about the idea of sin as shalom breaking (ref. Cornelius Plantinga) and explores a different way of thinking about sin - as corporate versus individual.Imagine a world that is safe, free, whole, secure, prosperous (for everyone), just, reconciled, and complete, with all of creation living in harmony. This is the vision of shalom in scripture that we have to look forward to and we partner on mission with God to create!This brief episode was recorded on November 21st, 2025.

In this episode Ken Shuman launches a series on the biblical vision of shalom, which reflects God's intended design for the whole world. Shalom means wholeness, justice, and well-being for everyone, and this dream of shalom is filled with hope for a better future. When we get discouraged or depressed, we are reminded to return to this vision and have hope that God is at work; that we are invited to join God in this work; and that shalom can come and will come. We are also reminded that we can't put our hope or trust in government and politicians to create shalom. When the Israelites were exiled in Babylon, the prophet Jeremiah urged them to seek the welfare of the city and to pray for it, because if Babylon experienced shalom, they too would share in that peace. We are called to do the same.This episode was recorded on November 14th, 2025.
The "Fork in the Road" email was sent to federal employees on January 28, 2025.

In this episode, Lou Huesmann unpacks a Substack post by Kathleen Smith called "Turning Off Your Anxious Scanner." In it Smith talks about the anxious habit of "scanning" - the emotionally driven monitoring of others - where, she states, the boundaries between our responsibility and others' blur. Lou connects scanning with overfunctioning - looking for something to fix in someone else - and points out that anxiety triggers us to focus on others and try to control them.He shares, "I think it's easy to see people as characters - actors - in our own story and then to treat them as such as opposed to seeing them as people who inhabit their own unique stories." We get anxious when we perceive that others are not playing the role we want them to play in our story, so we try to fix them. Lou, and Smith, challenge us to learn how to show up differently in the midst of our anxiety and share some suggestions for doing so. Lou wraps up by reflecting on the life of Jesus and how he always connected with people within their own unique stories, never anxiously scanning their behavior as if they were merely characters in his.This episode was recorded on November 7th, 2025.

In this episode, Ken spends some time with the group in Luke. He points out that in spite of the threats posed to him by the religious leaders and by living under Roman occupation, Jesus was a consistently non-anxious presence. Moreover, he did not let himself get sucked into theological or political debates of the day. Rather, he regularly and consistently defined himself and the way of the Kingdom and stayed engaged, yet remained above the fray. Ken shares with the group 7 ways we can define ourselves as followers of Jesus. He asks us to consider how we can live our lives in such a way that we are not at the mercy of anxiety. How can we show up daily as the best version of ourselves, no matter what is happening in the world around us? How can we exchange our expectations for our nation, the world, and our lives for hopes, accepting what is and managing ourselves well in the midst of it?This episode was recorded on October 31st, 2025.

In this episode, Ken Shuman continues his teaching on loving our enemies from Matthew 23, and specifically on what it means to speak blessing over those who curse us. He explains that "speaking blessing" means speaking good words about a person, words of praise or blessing. At the same time - in a way that could be considered a contradiction if you don't look more closely - Christ denounces groups of people (not individuals) whose behavior is out of alignment with God's design. He does not address their theological or political beliefs, just the behaviors that can lead people away from the Kingdom. In summation, Ken states that Christ calls us to love our enemies by speaking blessing to those who are against us and by denouncing behaviors that are out of alignment with the way of Jesus.This episode was recorded October 24th, 2025.
The market for colored pencils is surprisingly hot, with hundreds of millions sold every single year and then some. When it comes to some of the most well-known artists famous for their use of them, we don't have to search too far: one of the most prominent is a born and raised Duluthian named Tim Cortes. His niche? Creating limited-edition lithographs and commissioned works of art for some of the most elite athletes in American sports, including Wayne Gretzky, Dale Earnhardt and Shaquille O'Neal, names even the average non-sports fan knows and appreciates. You can also see his art in the flesh at some of the most incredible sports venues in the country, including the U.S. Hockey Hall Of Fame, the Franklin Mint and Target Field. It is Tim's insane ability to capture a moment in time and his impeccable eye for detail that truly make his art a slam dunk, sports pun intended. Today, we are blessed to have Tim creating these beautiful art pieces in our own backyard, sketching unforgettable works as one of the nation's premiere commemorative artists right here in the Zenith City. Whether a major sports fan or an art lover, there's something for everyone in this special episode featuring artist Tim Cortes.

In this episode, Ken speaks on Luke 6:27-38, which he believes is at the heart of the message of Jesus and what life in the Kingdom is like - and perhaps the most challenging section of Scripture. In this passage, Ken states, "Jesus invites us to love our enemies...and it's not so our enemies will change! " Christ expands on this by urging us to:- Keep doing good to those who hate us- Keep praying for those who mistreat us- Speak blessings rather than curses on them- Be kind even when it is not returned- Be compassionate- Not to bad-mouth people if we don't want to be bad-mouthed; to be forgiving if we want to be forgiven; not judge if we don't want to be judged; and to give, and it will be given to us.And, Ken says, all of this is impossible without growing in our emotional maturity - and lots and lots of practice. Listen now for more on how we can show up in life in increasingly loving ways - even with our enemies.This episode was recorded on October 17th, 2025.
! JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking FOR THIS WEEK'S “ASTROLOGICALLY SPEAKING!” PODCAST WHICH DROPS OCTOBER 17!As we wax now toward the Libra New Moon on October 21, we can see that the Libra Sun opposes wounded healer Chiron, & Eris, the dwarf planet of chaos, discord, & strife. And that this opposition is forming a square to Jupiter as it waxes toward an opposition to Pluto.That this is occurring as we head into the nationwide No Kings protest day on October 18 is troublesome to say the least. Republican governors from Texas, Virginia, & Missouri have already called up their National Guard in preparation for these protests.And that means, even before the Libra New Moon hits on Tuesday, October 21, that protesters must call upon their inner Libran archetype to emphasize their peacefulness rather than fall prey to any coercive actions by others who try to make them respond otherwise (read: aggressively.)Billed as the largest protest in American history, millions will gather in all 50 states to protest the current policies ordered by President Trump & his administration since he took office in January 2025. The caution here is not to get sucked in to losing one's cool, as the heavens are telling us that even the slightest provocation might land one in trouble now.Given that political rhetoric has coarsened to the point of becoming radicalized since Mercury, the god of communication, entered Pluto-ruled Scorpio on October 6, now is not the time to release anger in any way other than verbally. However, the tension increases since Mercury will join Mars in Scorpio exact late on October 19/early October 20—depending on your time zone--making this waxing energy extremely strong on October 18's No Kings day. Take this as a warning not to lose your cool now, whether you're part of these protests or engaged in any other dispute personally with those with whom you disagree. Rather, as stated, channel your inner Libran archetype to simply stay calm & carry on! GIVE ME THE MAN & I WILL FIND THE CRIMEMeanwhile, more vindictive prosecutions were announced this past week as we head toward the Libra New Moon on October 21. The U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ), which has been weaponized against Donald Trump's perceived enemies—as Attorney General Pam Bondi & Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche now serve as his personal lawyers--indicted former National Security Advisor John Bolton accusing him of releasing classified information to unauthorized individuals.Whether the charges stick or not, the fact that Trump has stated publicly that he's going after his “enemies” & is hell bent on “retribution” is clearly reflected by the waxing Mercury/Mars energy in Scorpio now. Trump has already forced his DoJ to indict former FBI Director James Comey, NY Attorney General Letitia James, & District Attorney Fani Will of Fulton Country, Georgia, (& others) against experienced DoJ attorneys' advice & with little evidence. “Vindictive prosecution” is a great way to define not only the Mercury/Mars conjunction, but also the Sun waxing toward its exact square to Pluto on October 24 & Jupiter's current out of sign opposition to Pluto. All of those smell of “retribution” against one's enemies through legal recourse. The Scorpionic & Plutonic nature of these aspects, however, reek of underhanded methods to achieve one's goals. And that is part & parcel of what the No Kings day protests are about. In the short-term, however, it's clear that the U.S. Government shutdown is on peoples' minds as well, as the fight between the two congressional parties--where one refuses to negotiate & compromise with the other--continues.Why? Because the capitalist-oriented GOP majority in Congress believe they are being “responsible” by cutting the federal budget's Medicaid & Affordable Care Act health insurance subsidies—along with a host of other aid to poorer citizens--to offset the growing federal deficit.However, they fail to acknowledge (though clearly they MUST realize) that part of the reason for the expanding budget deficit is due to the Big Ugly Bill they passed at the behest of Donald Trump in July which granted huge tax relief to the richest among us in the country.At the same time, the same people who refuse to compromise accuse anyone who disagrees with them—particularly the millions of citizens (many their own constituents) scheduled to protest on October 18--of being members of Antifa.Woe to the poor soul who doesn't have the intellectual capacity to understand that Antifa stands for ANTI FASCIST. Or that this country has been anti-fascist to its core, particularly since its citizens fought & died during WWII against the FACIST Nazis in Germany. Apparently, they never read George Orwell's “1984,” let alone understand that Antifa is NOT an actual organization. Rather, it's simply a non-existent group made up by Trump & Republicans, labeled "terrorists," & designed to attack liberals or anyone who disagrees with them.K, there's a lot more Astro News You Can Use—including about the upcoming Libra New Moon, & how we're definitely in the throes of the fight for democracy since U.S. Pluto Return (& no, it wasn't a one-off aspect here today, gone tomorrow!)--in this week's podcast, so be sure to tune in starting today @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking Till then, namaste…

Dane Cash and Cosmo Catalano break down the final Monument of the season, Il Lombardia.
In this episode, Ken discusses Mark chapter 11 and the "triumphal entry" of Christ and relates it to what is going on in America today. There were two very different Jesuses Christians were choosing to follow - then and now. The people were crying out for a political king, a gladiator, a hero - and what they got instead was a humble servant on a donkey. They wanted a king of power, not the King of Peace.Ken asked the group to consider what it looks like to be a person of peace even when people in our own faith communities want to pull us the other way. And he asked, "What kind of person will we be when things don't go the way we want?" We are now being presented an opportunity, he said, to go find the "people of peace" in our communities - and to partner with them to make a difference in this world.This episode was recorded October 3rd, 2025.
In this episode, Ken Shuman asks us what kind of person we want to be in the midst of the polarized, highly anxious, reactive culture we are in. He then spends time unpacking James 3:13-18 and the two distinct kinds of wisdom James talks about - earthly, "natural" wisdom and the wisdom that comes from God. Are we aligning ourselves with wordly wisdom or with the wisdom from above during these anxious times?This episode was recorded on September 26, 2025.

In this episode, Ken Shuman speaks of how easy it is to throw diverse groups of people into one category, which results in polarization. You hear people in the US say or imply that "ALL conservatives are evil" or "ALL liberals are evil," and so forth. Lumping people together and labeling them comes too easily in our world. It is far too easy to get sucked into the anxiety out there and to take many things personally. Instead, Ken invites us - as we grow in emotional maturity - to quit labeling people and allow them to define themselves. Ken then digs into the actual meaning of the word "evil," which may be surprising to some. And where the Bible speaks of evil, he says, it is about behavior - not the intrinsic value of people - and clearly evil behavior is demonstrated on both sides of the political aisle. Labels shame people at the level of their identity, whereas Scripture convicts us with regard to evil (destructive, injurious , malicious) behavior. For this, and for behavior leading to life, Isaiah 58 is instructive, and so Ken digs into this passage with the group.Ken concludes by inviting us to align ourselves with the way of Jesus over any group, so that we might show up differently in the midst of the polarizing forces in our world.This episode was recorded on September 19th, 2025.
“The perfect trip rarely exists.” No matter how carefully you plan, travel throws curveballs. In this candid chat, the Ladies Who Travel unpack what happens when plans fall apart: a protest that blocks all roads, weather-cancelling bucket list moments, and train strikes that derail rail itineraries. You will hear different coping styles in action - Shelly's calm in a crisis, Melissa's quick “meltdown then regroup,” and Tracy's pragmatic pivots. We also share practical tactics: build flexibility into your plan, book priority experiences early, research potential disruptions, and keep backups ready (including Shelly's smart two-phone system for solo travellers). We also discuss openly the emotions behind cancelled plans and how to move on quickly. As Melissa says, “It's okay to have your five-minute meltdown, express your disappointment, and then ask: now what am I going to do?” Because so often the best stories start with, “Well, this wasn't what we planned…”⭐️ Guests - Melissa (QueenslandTravelGuide.com.au) and Shelly Marie (SoloHerWay.com)
In this episode, guest speaker, FW board member, and member of the Keep Calm community Lou Huesmann explains that self-differentiation requires clarity about what really matters to us. If we are not really clear on our values, we will be influenced and pressured by the values of everyone around us. According to Edwin Friedman, self-differentiation is the ability to claim your goals and values in the midst of surrounding togetherness pressure. To help make this concept more tangible, Lou wraps up by sharing some wonderful guiding principles - or values - from author Jenny Brown in her book Growing Yourself Up.This episode was recorded on September 12, 2025.
In this episode, Ken Shuman digs deeper into the concept of differentiation in relationships by speaking of what we mean when we say we are "close" to someone. "Typically," he states, "people define closeness as sameness." Ken unpacks this notion and asks the group how they behave when they discover someone they feel close to is different, or when that person disappoints them. What do they do with their anxiety? And how can we increase our capacity to let others be exactly who they are and to be exactly who we are ourselves?This episode was recorded on September 5th, 2025.

As you make your way through Terminal 5 in Heathrow airport, there are plenty of opportunities to buy a T-shirt bearing the slogan “Keep Calm and Carry On”. The wearer of such a garment, upon their return to the United States, is presumably advertising the idea that a visit to the blessed plot has bestowed upon them the ability to weather all manner of shocks with equanimity. When it comes to financial markets, however, the British could learn calmness from the Americans. The U.K. gilt market, petted and coddled by timid politicians, seems to descend into turmoil under the mildest provocation. Meanwhile, U.S. markets, hardened by years of unruly words and abrupt policy changes from Washington, does indeed seem to “keep calm and carry on”.
