Podcast appearances and mentions of kevin mullins

In the week before Mickey Stines shot Judge Kevin Mullins nine times inside a Kentucky courthouse, everyone around him knew something was terribly wrong.He'd lost forty pounds in two weeks. He wasn't sleeping. He was making phone calls to dead relatives. He told staff that shadowy forces were going to kill his wife and daughter. He made someone put a bulletproof vest on his wife. A local attorney warned the judge directly that Stines was "losing it." The police chief said he'd lost his mind.Three days before the shooting, Stines sat for a deposition in a federal lawsuit tied to allegations of sexual exploitation inside the judge's chambers. According to everyone in the room, he was a mess — taking ten breaks, unable to answer basic questions, at one point saying "I'm having an episode."Friends brought him to a doctor the day before. The diagnosis was acute stress. He was sent home. Twenty-four hours later, Kevin Mullins was dead.Today we examine this case through a psychological lens. Not to excuse what happened — nine bullets, seven fired while the judge was already on the ground — but to understand what was happening inside Mickey Stines' head. The defense claims he was in psychosis, that he believed his family was in imminent danger, that he lacked the capacity to intend what he did. The court will decide if that's valid. But the harder question might be this: when everyone can see someone falling apart, whose job is it to stop them?#MickeyStines #KevinMullins #LetcherCounty #KentuckySheriff #CourthouseShooting #TrueCrime #InsanityDefense #MentalHealthCrisis #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimeNewsJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Love, Actually – Week 2: What Your Marriage Is Missing Texts: Acts 18:1–3; Romans 16:3–5Most marriages don't implode. They drift.In Week 2 of Love, Actually: The Love That Restores, Pastor Kevin explores what quietly erodes relationships—and what actually strengthens them. Looking at the marriage of Priscilla and Aquila in Acts 18 and Romans 16, this message reveals that healthy relationships are built not just on chemistry, but on shared mission and strong community.Marriage was never meant to be two people isolated on an island. It was designed as a covenant inside a people. When couples drift into maintenance mode or isolation, even small tensions grow heavy. But when relationships are anchored in shared direction and surrounded by wise community, love strengthens instead of strains.This message speaks to married couples, singles, and those dating—offering practical wisdom, hope, and a Gospel-centered reminder that Jesus belongs at the center of every relationship.Broad River Church | Norwalk, CT Join us Sundays: 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM (English) | 12:45 PM (Español) Learn more or take your next step: https://broadriver.church/nextsteps Follow us on Instagram: @iambroadriverchurch

Love, Actually – Week 1: The Signs You Keep IgnoringText: 1 Kings 21Most relational breakdowns don't happen all at once—they happen slowly, through ignored patterns and overlooked signs.In Week 1 of our new series Love, Actually: The Love That Restores, Pastor Kevin opens with a sobering and practical message about relational wisdom. Drawing from the story of Ahab and Jezebel in 1 Kings 21, this message explores how unhealthy dynamics form through passivity, control, and unresolved patterns—and how God often shows us warning signs long before damage is done.This message speaks to dating relationships, marriages, friendships, and church relationships, helping listeners learn how to identify patterns, interrupt dysfunction, and move toward healthier love shaped by truth and tenderness.Ultimately, this message reminds us that Jesus doesn't love with control or withdrawal—He loves with grace, courage, and restoration. And He invites us to learn a new way of loving.Broad River Church | Norwalk, CT Join us Sundays: 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM (English) | 12:45 PM (Español) Learn more or take your next step: https://broadriver.church/nextsteps Follow us on Instagram: @iambroadriverchurch

Vision Sunday 2026: Ransomed & Redeemed Romans 12:1–3Vision doesn't begin with strategy—it begins with mercy.On Vision Sunday, Pastor Kevin closes the Better Than New series and invites the church into God's shaping work for the year ahead. Drawing from Romans 12, this message reframes vision not as self-improvement or pressure, but as transformation rooted in the mercies of God.Rather than asking how we can optimize our lives, Scripture invites us to be renewed—formed from the inside out. Vision flows from redemption, not ambition. Renewal leads to discernment. And discernment draws us into shared life and shared mission.In this message, you'll hear the heart behind Broad River Church's 2026 theme Ransomed & Redeemed, and a clear picture of what it looks like to be a redeemed people, a redeeming church, and a restoring presence in the places God has planted us.Vision isn't about predicting the future—it's about choosing faithfulness. And it always starts with mercy.Broad River Church | Norwalk, CT Join us Sundays: 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM (English) | 12:45 PM (Español) Learn more or take your next step: https://broadriver.church/nextsteps Follow us on Instagram: @iambroadriverchurch

Better Than New – Week 3: “Rooted, Equipped, Confident” 2 Timothy 3:14–17; Philippians 1:6By late January, many people feel the same tension: I started strong… but can I keep going?In Week 3 of Better Than New, Pastor Kevin explores what it means to continue—not perfectly, but faithfully. This message confronts the lie that spiritual growth requires constant restarting and invites us into a steadier, deeper formation.Through Paul's encouragement to Timothy, we see how God forms His people over time—rooting us in truth, equipping us through Scripture, and grounding our confidence not in willpower, but in God's faithfulness.This message will help you move past shame, resist burnout, and trust that God finishes what He starts. New doesn't fix us—but God redeems us, forms us, and sends us again.Broad River Church | Norwalk, CT Join us Sundays: 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM (English) | 12:45 PM (Español) Learn more or take your next step: https://broadriver.church/nextsteps Follow us on Instagram: @iambroadriverchurch

Better Than New – Week 2: “Abide” John 8:31–32; Psalm 119:105Freedom doesn't begin with willpower—it begins with closeness.In Week 2 of Better Than New, Pastor Kevin teaches that redemption isn't just a moment you experience, but a relationship you remain in. After returning to Jesus, the next invitation is simple but demanding: abide. Stay. Remain. Keep showing up.Jesus says that true discipleship starts not with achievement, but with abiding in His word. As we stay close, we begin to truly know the truth—and that truth forms us over time, bringing real freedom.This message is for anyone who wants freedom but feels stuck, weary, or discouraged. You'll be reminded that transformation happens at relationship pace, not through religious striving. God doesn't polish us—He forms us as we stay close to Him.Broad River Church | Norwalk, CT Join us Sundays: 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM (English) | 12:45 PM (Español) Learn more or take your next step: https://broadriver.church/nextsteps Follow us on Instagram: @iambroadriverchurch

January loves to sell us the “new you.” New calendar. New routine. New goals. But new can't fix you—because new turns old real quick.In Week 1 of Better Than New, we start where redemption actually begins: not with hype… but with returning. Paul says, “when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed” (2 Corinthians 3:16). And once the veil lifts, we learn a new way to live: turn → behold → become.This message is a call to holy rhythms (not spiritual pressure), and a reminder that transformation doesn't come from trying harder—it comes from staying close enough for Jesus to shine light into the places that need healing (2 Corinthians 4:6).Scripture (ESV): 2 Corinthians 3:16–4:6; Psalm 69:16–18 Big idea: You don't become what you want—you become what you behold.Broad River Church | Norwalk, CT Join us Sundays: 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM (English) | 12:45 PM (Español) Learn more or take your next step: https://broadriver.church/nextsteps Follow us on Instagram: @iambroadriverchurch

Someone told Kevin Mullins that Mickey Stines was falling apart. Told him directly. Said Stines "couldn't take the pressure." Advised Stines to get a mental health evaluation. And Mullins — the eventual victim — did nothing.Robin Dreeke spent twenty years at the FBI studying exactly this. Why people dismiss warnings about someone they know. Why familiarity breeds blind spots. Why the threat you trust is the threat you don't see.This conversation digs into the behavioral dynamics of the Stines case — the access, the history, the relationship that made everyone comfortable right up until it was too late.#MickeyStines #RobinDreeke #HiddenKillers #FBI #KevinMullins #TrueCrimePodcast #BehavioralAnalysis #CourthouseMurderJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A lawsuit tying both men to a sexual exploitation scandal. A deposition that pushed Stines to the edge. And fifteen months of silence on motive.Robin Dreeke knows how secrets work. He spent his FBI career studying compromise, leverage, and what happens when powerful people are entangled in something neither can afford to have exposed. This conversation goes where the headlines won't — into the pressure cooker that may have driven Mickey Stines to kill Kevin Mullins, and why nobody official is talking about why.#MickeyStines #RobinDreeke #HiddenKillers #FBI #KevinMullins #Leverage #TrueCrimePodcast #MissingMotiveJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Mickey Stines case just took a turn nobody predicted. A week ago, a hearing was supposed to move this case forward — bond arguments, venue fight, the works. Instead, Judge Christopher Cohron walked in, said there was an "issue," and shut it down. Now we know what the issue was: him.Defense attorneys Jeremy and Kerri Bartley have filed a motion to recuse Cohron after an investigator discovered video showing the judge seated next to Kevin Mullins at a Kentucky Judicial Commission on Mental Health meeting — seven days before Mullins was shot to death in his Letcher County chambers. According to the motion, Cohron sat inches from Mullins for approximately two hours. Mullins' widow was also present. The defense claims Cohron never disclosed any of this.The timing is brutal. This is a case built entirely around Stines' mental state — whether he was legally insane, whether he was in psychosis, whether extreme emotional disturbance applies. And the judge presiding over it was filmed at a mental health meeting with the victim days before the killing, allegedly nodding along as Mullins discussed his work.Cohron has already denied the defense's motion to unseal Stines' psychiatric evaluation. He blocked them from using it at the bond hearing. The defense is now arguing that a reasonable observer could connect those rulings to what they see in that video.No hearing has been rescheduled. No bond. No trial date. Fifteen months in jail and counting. Everything stops until Cohron decides whether to stay or go.#MickeyStines #TrueCrimeToday #KevinMullins #LetherCountyShooting #KentuckyMurder #JudgeCohron #RecusalMotion #TrueCrimeNews #CourthouseShooting #ShawnStinesJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A Prayer for This Year 21 Days of Prayer Kickoff | Colossians 1:9–14As a new year begins, the church doesn't rush ahead—we pause to pray.In this message, Pastor Kevin opens 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting with a grounded, pastoral prayer from Colossians 1:9–14. In a season filled with noise, pressure, and self-improvement plans, this message re-centers us on wisdom that leads to faithfulness, fruitfulness, and endurance.Rather than chasing a better system or a stronger start, we are invited to receive what God has already done—rescuing us, transferring us into His kingdom, and shaping our lives through daily obedience.This message sets the spiritual tone for the year ahead: before we act, we listen; before we plan, we pray; before we strive, we remember that redemption has already begun.Broad River Church | Norwalk, CT Join us Sundays: 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM (English) | 12:45 PM (Español) Learn more or take your next step: https://broadriver.church/nextsteps Follow us on Instagram: @iambroadriverchurch

Three days before Sheriff Mickey Stines allegedly walked into Judge Kevin Mullins' chambers and shot him nine times, an attorney contacted the Kentucky Bar Association asking what he could do to intervene. He had already warned Mullins directly. Told him Stines was losing it. The local police chief saw enough to say Stines had lost his mind. Staff inside the sheriff's office watched their boss place phone calls to relatives who had been dead for years. His friends took him to a doctor. The doctor diagnosed acute stress reaction and sent him home. Twenty-four hours later, Kevin Mullins was dead. Court documents reveal the warning signs were everywhere. Witnesses say Stines had not slept in days. He had lost a massive amount of weight. He was convinced unnamed people were going to kill his wife and daughter. He woke his wife at night to whisper because he believed their home was bugged. Coworkers saw it. An attorney saw it. The police chief saw it. Nobody had the power to stop it. Kentucky has no red flag law. Involuntary commitment requires proof of imminent danger, not paranoid delusions, not rapid weight loss, not bizarre behavior. And when the person in crisis is an elected sheriff, no one has the authority to suspend him, disarm him, or override his denials. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins us to break down what these behaviors actually mean clinically, what paranoid psychosis looks like, why people miss or dismiss the signs, and whether Stines' insanity defense might hold up in court. The widow's civil lawsuit now asks whether three sheriff's office employees should be held liable for failing to warn Mullins. Their defense: Kentucky law imposed no duty to warn or protect. Everyone did something. It was not enough. #MickeyStines #JudgeKevinMullins #TrueCrime #KentuckySheriff #CourthouseShooting #MentalHealthCrisis #InsanityDefense #WarningSigns #Psychosis #ShavaunScott #RedFlagLaws #TrueCrimeNews #SystemicFailure #LetcherCounty #KentuckyCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #MentalHealthAwareness #CriminalJustice #CourtroomDrama #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Kentucky Sheriff Mickey Stines has admitted in court filings that he shot and killed Judge Kevin Mullins in his chambers on September 19, 2024. Nine bullets. Seven of them fired while the judge was already on the ground. The entire killing was captured on video. But now Stines is claiming he had no control over his actions and his defense team is pointing to a rare neurological disease caused by bug bites as part of their explanation. For over a year, no one could explain why a longtime sheriff walked into a judge's chambers and executed a man he had worked alongside for decades. Stines had served as Mullins' bailiff. They ate lunch together that same day. After a seven-minute private conversation behind closed doors, Stines locked the door and opened fire. Court documents now reveal what was happening in the days before the shooting. Stines had lost forty pounds in two weeks. He was placing phone calls to dead relatives. He told staff that shadowy forces were coming to kill his wife and daughter. He made someone put a bulletproof vest on his wife. His own employees believed he was experiencing psychosis. An attorney warned Judge Mullins directly that Stines was losing it. The local police chief said he had lost his mind. But here is the problem. The day before the shooting, Stines visited a doctor. According to medical records, he denied experiencing any psychosis or homicidal thoughts. The doctor diagnosed acute stress reaction and sent him home. Twenty-four hours later, Kevin Mullins was dead. Now Stines is building an insanity defense that includes claims of California encephalitis, a tick-borne illness that can cause confusion and aggression. Whether this is a legitimate diagnosis or a legal strategy designed to avoid accountability remains to be seen. #MickeyStines #JudgeKevinMullins #LetcherCounty #KentuckySheriff #CourthouseShooting #TrueCrime #InsanityDefense #CaliforniaEncephalitis #TrueCrime2025 #JusticeForMullins #KentuckyCrime #TrueCrimeCommunity #CriminalJustice #MurderTrial #LegalDefense #TrueCrimeNews #CourtroomDrama #SheriffShooting #MentalHealthDefense #BreakingCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Three days before Sheriff Mickey Stines allegedly walked into Judge Kevin Mullins' chambers and shot him nine times, an attorney contacted the Kentucky Bar Association asking what he could do to intervene. He'd already warned Mullins directly. Told him Stines was "losing it." The local police chief had seen enough to say Stines had "lost his mind." Staff inside the sheriff's office watched their boss make phone calls to relatives who had been dead for years. They got him to a doctor. The doctor sent him home with a diagnosis of "acute stress reaction." Twenty-four hours later, Kevin Mullins was dead. This isn't a story about people who didn't care. It's a story about people who saw a crisis developing, took action within the limits of what they could actually do, and discovered those limits weren't anywhere close to enough. Kentucky has no red flag law. Involuntary commitment requires proof of imminent danger — not paranoid delusions, not rapid weight loss, not bizarre behavior. And when the person in crisis is an elected sheriff, nobody has the authority to suspend him, disarm him, or override his denials. Court documents exposed this week reveal just how many people recognized something catastrophic was happening — and how the systems we've built gave them almost no power to stop it. The widow's civil lawsuit now asks whether three sheriff's office employees should be held liable for failing to warn Judge Mullins. Their defense: Kentucky law imposed no duty to warn or protect. Everyone did something. It wasn't enough. And the gap between "someone should do something" and anyone having the power to actually do it is where Kevin Mullins died. #MickeyStines #JudgeMullins #TrueCrime #KentuckySheriff #CourthouseShooting #MentalHealthCrisis #RedFlagLaws #TrueCrimeNews #SystemicFailure Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What's clear is that this case is about to get a lot more complicated. #MickeyStines #JudgeKevinMullins #Letcher County #KentuckySheriff #CourthouseShooting #TrueCrime #InsanityDefense #CaliforniaEncephalitis #TrueCrime2025 #JusticeForMullins Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Three days before Sheriff Mickey Stines allegedly walked into Judge Kevin Mullins' chambers and shot him nine times, an attorney contacted the Kentucky Bar Association asking what he could do to intervene. He'd already warned Mullins directly. Told him Stines was "losing it." The local police chief had seen enough to say Stines had "lost his mind." Staff inside the sheriff's office watched their boss make phone calls to relatives who had been dead for years. They got him to a doctor. The doctor sent him home with a diagnosis of "acute stress reaction." Twenty-four hours later, Kevin Mullins was dead. This isn't a story about people who didn't care. It's a story about people who saw a crisis developing, took action within the limits of what they could actually do, and discovered those limits weren't anywhere close to enough. Kentucky has no red flag law. Involuntary commitment requires proof of imminent danger — not paranoid delusions, not rapid weight loss, not bizarre behavior. And when the person in crisis is an elected sheriff, nobody has the authority to suspend him, disarm him, or override his denials. Court documents exposed this week reveal just how many people recognized something catastrophic was happening — and how the systems we've built gave them almost no power to stop it. The widow's civil lawsuit now asks whether three sheriff's office employees should be held liable for failing to warn Judge Mullins. Their defense: Kentucky law imposed no duty to warn or protect. Everyone did something. It wasn't enough. And the gap between "someone should do something" and anyone having the power to actually do it is where Kevin Mullins died. #MickeyStines #JudgeMullins #TrueCrime #KentuckySheriff #CourthouseShooting #MentalHealthCrisis #RedFlagLaws #TrueCrimeNews #SystemicFailure Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

With Us – Week 2: “With Us in Our Fear” Isaiah 41:10–13; Psalm 139:5Fear is something we all know—but Advent meets our fear with a promise: God is with us.In Week 2 of the Advent series With Us, Pastor Kevin looks at what it means to trust God's nearness when anxiety feels loud, circumstances feel fragile, and the future feels uncertain. Through Isaiah's words to a fearful, displaced people and David's prayer in Psalm 139, we see that God's answer to fear is not a pep talk—but His presence.This message reminds us that God does not shout “fear not” from a distance. He comes close, takes us by the hand, strengthens us, helps us, and holds us steady. We are not unseen, unheld, or alone—we are hemmed in by grace.If you're carrying fear about your health, finances, family, or future, this message will help you hear Advent in a deeper way: Immanuel—God with us, even in our fear.Broad River Church | Norwalk, CT Join us Sundays: 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM (English) | 12:45 PM (Español) Learn more or take your next step: https://broadriver.church/nextsteps Follow us on Instagram: @iambroadriverchurch

For more than a year, this case has haunted a small Kentucky community with one unanswered question: why did Sheriff Mickey Stines walk into Judge Kevin Mullins' chambers and shoot him to death? They'd worked together for years. Stines used to be Mullins' bailiff. They ate lunch together hours before the shooting. None of it made sense. Until now. Exposed court documents have finally revealed what was happening to Mickey Stines in the days before that shooting, and it paints a picture far more disturbing than anyone outside law enforcement knew. According to witness statements and filings from the defense, Stines had lost forty pounds in two weeks and couldn't explain why. He was taking ten breaks during a routine legal deposition, at one point telling the room he was "having an episode." He told a staffer that an attorney had instructed him to hand over money and kill himself, or shadowy forces would murder his wife and daughter. He made someone put a bulletproof vest on his wife. He was placing phone calls to family members who had been dead for years. His own employees watched this happen. One told investigators she believed he was in a psychosis. An attorney warned Judge Mullins directly that Stines was "losing it." The local police chief said he'd lost his mind. And the intervention? They told him to see his family doctor. The next day, Kevin Mullins was dead. Now the judge's widow has filed a lawsuit against Stines and three sheriff's office employees, claiming they watched her husband's killer unravel and failed to warn him. This week, a judge denied Stines' motion to dismiss the murder indictment and granted a bond hearing. For the first time, we're seeing the full picture of what went wrong, who knew, and why no one stopped it. #Letcher County #MickeyStines #JudgeKevinMullins #KentuckySheriff #TrueCrime #CourthouseShooting #TrueCrime2024 #CriminalJustice #MentalHealthCrisis #ShawnStines Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

With Us – Week 1: “Where Are You?” Genesis 3:8–11Advent isn't just about lights, carols, and sentiment—it's about a God who comes looking for people who are hiding. From the very beginning of the Bible, God's footsteps are moving toward us, not away from us.In this first message of our Advent series With Us, Pastor Kevin takes us back to Eden, where Adam and Eve hear the sound of the Lord walking in the garden and then try to disappear among the trees. Instead of storming in with condemnation, God's first words to fallen humanity are a question full of grace: “Where are you?”You'll see how hiding still shows up in our lives—through shame, fear, performance, and withdrawal—and how the heart of God has not changed: He comes near, He calls our name, and He invites us out of the bushes and back into relationship.This message will help you hear Advent in a new way: as the fulfillment of those first footsteps in the garden—God with us in our hiding, our fear, and our distance, moving us toward hope, healing, and Gospel Hospitality.Broad River Church | Norwalk, CT Join us Sundays: 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM (English) | 12:45 PM (Español) Learn more or take your next step: https://broadriver.church/nextsteps Follow us on Instagram: @iambroadriverchurch

First Things First – Week 2: “Why Should I Tithe?” Mark 10:17–27Money is one of the clearest windows into the human heart. In Week 2 of First Things First, Pastor Kevin teaches on one of the most foundational practices in Scripture: the tithe.Through the story of the rich young ruler, Jeremiah's warning about our hearts, and Malachi's call to return to God, we learn that tithing isn't about losing money—it's about ordering our lives around trust. The tithe brings our finances under God's leadership, breaks the power of fear and self-reliance, and opens us to the freedom of living in God's design.This message helps us understand why the tithe matters, what Scripture actually teaches, and how putting God first transforms more than our giving—it transforms us.Tithing is not about what God wants from you. It's about what God wants for you.Broad River Church | Norwalk, CT Join us Sundays: 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM (English) | 12:45 PM (Español) Learn more or take your next step: https://broadriver.church/nextsteps Follow us on Instagram: @iambroadriverchurch

This week we launch our new series First Things First, a practical look at trust, priorities, and putting God first—especially when life feels expensive, busy, and uncertain.

If you're looking for clarity, peace, and a rooted life in a chaotic season, this message will help you choose your source before you face your season.Key Scriptures: Jeremiah 17:5–8; 1 Kings 17:8–16 Speaker: Pastor Kevin Mullins Church: Broad River Church — Norwalk, CT Series: First Things First (Week 1)Broad River Church | Norwalk, CT Join us Sundays: 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM (English) | 12:45 PM (Español) Learn more or take your next step: https://broadriver.church/nextsteps Follow us on Instagram: @iambroadriverchurch

The Lamb reverses everything Adam lost, and the story that began in a garden ends in a city filled with God's presence.This message reminds us that eternity doesn't start later—it's already forming us now. This life isn't a waiting room for heaven; it's a workshop for reigning.You'll be encouraged to live with the culture of heaven—choosing holiness over compromise, stewardship over selfishness, and worship over worry.The good news of the end times?

Baptism Sunday: Grace Gives You a New Address Romans 6:1–11, Revelation 7:13–14Baptism isn't just symbolic—it's a declaration that grace has changed your address.In this special Baptism Sunday message, Pastor Kevin steps out of the Revelation series to show how the same story of redemption, restoration, and renewal continues in the waters of baptism. Drawing from Romans 6 and Revelation 7, this message reveals what happens when grace moves in—guilt loses its power, shame loses its voice, and you begin living from a new location: the country of grace.You'll be reminded that baptism pictures death and resurrection—burial of the old self and rising to new life in Christ. Grace doesn't just forgive; it relocates you. It gives you a new name, a new identity, and a new home.This message will renew your gratitude for God's grace and invite you to live as someone who has truly moved—from guilt to grace, from striving to rest, from death to life.Broad River Church | Norwalk, CT Join us Sundays: 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM (English) | 12:45 PM (Español) Learn more or take your next step: https://broadriver.church/nextsteps Follow us on Instagram: @iambroadriverchurch

In this compelling special from STS, Guest Host The COE (Chief of Everything) sits down with Brian Entin — celebrated for his major breaking‑news and true‑crime reporting — to explore the baffling case of a long‑time Kentucky district judge who was fatally shot in his chambers by his former bailiff‑turned‑sheriff. Welcome to Surviving the Survivor, the show that brings you the #BestGuests in all of #trucrime. In this episode, we dive into the murky dealings of this Appalachian small town in Letcher County: allegations that the judge oversaw an illicit s*x‑for‑favors ring; a deputy who pled guilty to abuse of women under home incarceration; a sheriff who may have known too much — or who may himself have been involved in things we don't full understand yet... Listen for exclusive insight, ground reporting, and the chilling truth behind a murder that has shaken a community — and exposed a system supposedly built for justice.Thanks for supporting the show and being a part of #STSNation! Donate to STS' Trial Travel: Https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/GJ...VENMO: @STSPodcast or Https://www.venmo.com/stspodcastCheck out STS Merch: Https://www.bonfire.com/store/sts-store/Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxSupport the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorEmail: SurvivingTheSurvivor@gmail.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

When the End Is Really the Beginning – Week 3: “Live Sealed, Not Scared” Revelation 7:1–4, 9–12The seal of the Spirit is stronger than the mark of the beast.In Week 3 of When the End Is Really the Beginning, Pastor Kevin teaches from Revelation 7 and shows how the book of Revelation is not a manual for fear—but a portrait of faith.While many people focus on the “mark of the beast,” Revelation 7 shows us a different picture: God's people sealed by the Spirit. The seal of God is His way of saying, “This one belongs to Me.”This message unpacks the difference between being marked by the world and sealed by the Spirit—between fearful allegiance and faithful belonging. Through Scripture and practical insight, you'll see that the Spirit's seal is not a temporary label but a permanent identity of love and security in Christ.Pastor Kevin reminds us that saints are never described as “marked,” only as “sealed.” When you know who you belong to, you can stand with peace even in chaotic times.This message will strengthen your confidence in the Spirit's power and help you live as a sealed witness for Christ in your home, workplace, and city. The end is not about fear and control—it's about belonging and love. The end is really the beginning.Broad River Church | Norwalk, CT Join us Sundays: 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM (English) | 12:45 PM (Español) Learn more or take your next step: https://broadriver.church/nextsteps Follow us on Instagram: @iambroadriverchurch

When the End Is Really the Beginning – Week 2: “The Lamb Has The Last Word” Revelation 5 and 12:11Revelation doesn't show us chaos first—it shows us Christ.This week, Pastor Kevin continues When the End Is Really the Beginning with one of the most stunning scenes in all of Scripture: the Lion who conquers as the Lamb. In Revelation 5, John weeps because no one can open the scroll—until he hears, “Behold, the Lion of Judah has conquered.” But when he turns, he sees a Lamb, slain but standing. That moment redefines power, showing that victory in God's kingdom comes through sacrifice, not domination.Pastor Kevin also clears up two common misunderstandings—the “antichrist” and the beasts—and shows how Revelation 12:11 gives us a framework for how the Church overcomes today: by the blood of the Lamb, by the word of our testimony, and by lives laid down in love.You'll discover how the Lamb's people are already a multi-ethnic kingdom of priests who carry His presence into ordinary places. And you'll see how “beast-logic” and “Lamb-logic” collide in our everyday lives—at home, at work, online, and in our city.This message will strengthen your faith and remind you that our hope is not in identifying beasts, but in following the Lamb who has already won. The end is not the beasts having the last word; the Lamb has the last word. And the end is really the beginning.Broad River Church | Norwalk, CT Join us Sundays: 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM (English) | 12:45 PM (Español) Learn more or take your next step: https://broadriver.church/nextsteps Follow us on Instagram: @iambroadriverchurch

When the End Is Really the Beginning – Week 1: “The Lamb Wins” Revelation 1:12–18The book of Revelation doesn't begin with beasts, bowls, or fear—it begins with Jesus alive and reigning.This week, Pastor Kevin launches a brand-new series from the book of Revelation called When the End Is Really the Beginning. In a world filled with anxiety about the “end times,” this message brings clarity instead of confusion and faith instead of fear. Revelation was never written to make believers panic; it was written to make us faithful.Through this opening vision of the risen Christ—eyes like fire, voice like rushing waters, holding the keys of death and Hades—we discover that Revelation isn't about decoding puzzles; it's about revealing Jesus.You'll learn how to approach this mysterious book with humility, Scripture-based discernment, and hope. Pastor Kevin reminds us that the Gospel shapes our view of the end: fear-based eschatology paralyzes, but faith-based eschatology mobilizes.This message will help you lift your eyes from speculation to the Savior who says, “Fear not. I am the First and the Last.” The end isn't doom—it's renewal. The Lamb wins. The end is really the beginning.Broad River Church | Norwalk, CT Join us Sundays: 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM (English) | 12:45 PM (Español) Learn more or take your next step: https://broadriver.church/nextsteps Follow us on Instagram: @iambroadriverchurch

MOVE – Week 10: “Finish Well” Acts 20:17–38What does it take to finish well?In Acts 20:17–38, Paul shares a farewell message with the Ephesian elders, showing us that the Gospel doesn't just need people who start strong—it needs disciples who endure to the end.This week, Pastor Kevin closes out the MOVE series by pointing us to three anchors that help us keep moving: Jesus at the center, the Spirit's leading even when it costs, and a love for the Church that Jesus bought with His own blood.This message will encourage you to see how God still moves through consecrated lives—not just the celebrated ones. If Paul could finish his course with joy, we can too. The Gospel is still moving in Lower Fairfield County, and God is calling us to be a church that doesn't just start… but finishes well.Broad River Church | Norwalk, CT Join us Sundays: 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM (English) | 12:45 PM (Español) Learn more or take your next step: https://broadriver.church/nextsteps Follow us on Instagram: @iambroadriverchurch

MOVE – Week 9: “The Breakthrough in Antioch”Acts 11:19–30 and 12:25–13:3God's breakthrough in Antioch shows us that the Gospel doesn't just move through the famous names—it moves through ordinary people who say yes.This week in Acts 11:19–30 and 12:25–13:3, Pastor Kevin walks us through a turning point in the book of Acts. In a diverse and broken city, God plants the first multi-ethnic church. And it doesn't start with Peter, Paul, or Barnabas—it starts with unnamed believers who dared to cross cultural lines with the good news of Jesus.The Gospel has power all by itself. It tears down walls, creates new identity, and calls people into mission. Barnabas arrives to encourage, the Spirit speaks, and Antioch becomes a launchpad for global Gospel movement.This message will encourage you to see how God still moves today—through the consecrated, not the celebrated. If He can use ordinary men and women in Antioch, He can use you right here in Lower Fairfield County. Say yes, break barriers, and step into a missional vision that changes lives.Broad River Church | Norwalk, CT Join us Sundays: 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM (English) | 12:45 PM (Español) Learn more or take your next step: https://broadriver.church/nextsteps Follow us on Instagram: @iambroadriverchurch

MOVE: Week 8 — When Everything Changes Acts 9:1–22 | Pastor Kevin MullinsIn Acts 9, we meet Saul—a man convinced he was doing everything right, only to be stopped in his tracks by the risen Jesus. In a single moment, Saul's life shifted from hostility to hope, from persecutor to preacher. His story reminds us that when Jesus shows up, everything changes.In this message, Pastor Kevin unpacks the four elements of Saul's conversion—and how they point to what happens when any heart truly encounters Jesus:Encounter that stops you — God breaks in right where you are.Dependence that changes you — learning surrender in the dark.Embrace that restores you — community and welcome before you've “proven” anything.Empowerment that sends you — the Spirit turning you from brokenness to purpose.The Gospel doesn't just give information—it moves you. And like Saul, your story can be interrupted by grace and released into a Spirit-empowered future.Broad River Church | Norwalk, CT Join us Sundays: 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM (English) | 12:45 PM (Español) Learn more or take your next step: https://broadriver.church/nextsteps Follow us on Instagram: @iambroadriverchurch

Judge Kevin Mullins EXPOSED: S-for-Favors Scandal REVEALED The murder of Judge Kevin Mullins by Sheriff Shawn Stines didn't end the story — it blew the lid off a scandal. In the weeks after, women stepped forward with disturbing allegations: that Judge Mullins coerced them into sexual acts in exchange for leniency, avoiding jail, or even custody of their children. One woman, Tia Adams, told reporter Brian Entin she had sex with Mullins “countless times,” sometimes in his chambers. She described the encounters as humiliating, impossible to refuse, and driven by fear of retaliation. According to her, this wasn't intimacy — it was coercion, disguised as consent. Lawsuits and interviews allege that humiliation was part of the judge's strategy. Victims claimed Mullins threw money at them, degraded them, and warned them to stay silent. The allegations suggest the courthouse wasn't just corrupted — it was weaponized. In this episode, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott helps break down the psychology of coercion, trauma bonding, and why victims often doubt themselves after years of abuse. We also examine how communities normalize silence, how victims experience relief when an abuser dies, and why power unchecked becomes exploitation. None of these allegations have been proven in court, but they raise urgent questions about how justice can survive when the judge himself is accused of being the predator. #JudgeMullins #SexForFavors #ScandalExposed #TrueCrime #SheriffStines #HiddenKillers #Corruption #Coercion #VictimsSpeak #Whitesburg Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

None of these allegations have been proven in court, but they raise urgent questions about how justice can survive when the judge himself is accused of being the predator. #JudgeMullins #SexForFavors #ScandalExposed #TrueCrime #SheriffStines #HiddenKillers #Corruption #Coercion #VictimsSpeak #Whitesburg Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This week on Crime Roundup, Sheryl McCollum and Joshua Schiffer dive into an explosive scandal out of rural Kentucky, where the murder of Judge Kevin Mullins has exposed a hidden world of courthouse corruption, sex-for-favors, and alleged misconduct at nearly every level of the local justice system. With reports of mirrored ceilings, sex parties, and jailhouse encounters involving law enforcement and officials, the hosts examine how deep the cover-up may run and what accountability looks like. They then turn to Bryan Kohberger, who has filed harassment complaints from inside a maximum-security prison. Sheryl and Joshua break down what those complaints reveal about prison power dynamics, the threat of extortion, and the likelihood of long-term solitary confinement.
