Cognitive changes in MS—fluctuations in processing speed, memory, and executive function—can significantly impact daily life, yet they're often misunderstood or overlooked in routine clinical exams. This week, we are joined by Dr. Anna Kratz, clinical psychologist and Professor in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the University of Michigan, to discuss actionable, evidence-based ways to navigate cognitive challenges. Dr. Kratz breaks down the latest findings from the CogDetect-MS study, exploring how daily symptom fluctuations, complex medication regimens, and common substances like caffeine and cannabis influence brain fog. She also shares practical compensatory workarounds and introduces a no-cost digital self-management resource, My MSToolKit. We'll also explain the new framework for describing MS that's been proposed by the International Advisory Committee on Clinical Trials in Multiple Sclerosis. We're sharing study results that reveal why detecting even a single silent lesion on an MRI should trigger an immediate conversation about stepping up to high-efficacy therapy. And we'll tell you about 2 advanced MRI markers that can predict future cognitive decline — even in the absence of any relapses or new lesions on MRI. We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!

Later, ESPN MLB insider Jeff Passan (28:55) stops by to share why Kevin Gausman's trade value hasn't dropped after a run of rocky outings, whether the Jays could add at the deadline to address needs in 2027, and the case to sell high on Louis Varland.

In the year 2000, Lance Wallnau picked up the phone to prep for an interview with a U.S. senator who had been clinically dead for nearly 30 minutes. The voice on the other end told him a story about seven islands rising in heaven — a story that would become the Seven Mountains Mandate. Years later, when Lance called the woman back to confirm the details, she said five words that changed everything: "I never told you that." So who — or what — was actually on the other end of that call? Prophetic voice Lance Wallnau opens up about the moment he believes he was speaking not to a human, but to an angel — and the chain of supernatural events that birthed the Seven Mountains revelation now reshaping the global Church. What if the message reshaping the Body of Christ was confirmed by heaven itself? In this episode: * The Acts 12 "Peter's angel" parallel Lance says happened to him personally — and the woman who insists she never made the call * The Senator Mike Crotts resurrection story: dead 25-30 minutes outside a Marriott, commanded back to life by his wife Phyllis * The heaven vision of 7 islands and 1 great mountain — and the words Jesus spoke: "There must be agreement" * The Isaiah 45 / Cyrus prophecy Lance heard audibly about Trump as the 45th president — years before the 2016 election * Kim Clement's prophecy that hospital staff couldn't stop from being fulfilled * The hidden "Diamond" code in the Gladiator arena scene — and why Lance says it's a prophetic parable for end-times unity * The Voice of Apostles 2000 moment in Harrisburg when an entire crowd reported hearing angels echo "AS ONE" * The final phone call from Senator Kratz the day before he died: "Now's the time." This isn't a sermon. This is the origin story Lance has rarely told publicly — the supernatural fingerprints behind every Seven Mountains conversation happening today.

This episode examines whether unprocessed red meat has a causal role in (1) type 2 diabetes risk and intermediate measures of glucose intolerance (insulin resistance, beta cell dysfunction, glycemic markers) and (2) cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. While there is commonly observed risk signal from observational cohorts, there exist short-term randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that show largely null effects on glucose homeostasis. This had led to differing opinions and interpretations of the evidence base. Some feel that in the context of an otherwise healthy diet, there isn't much to suggest concern about consuming unprocessed red meat. While others are of the view that there does exist a risk and that limiting or even avoiding consumption is prudent. The crucial concept of replacement effects is discussed. Increasing red meat intake always means decreasing something else or increasing total energy intake. Therefore, interpreting evidence requires specifying the comparator food(s), the background dietary pattern, the dose, the cut (lean vs fatty), and how the meat is prepared. To discuss their interpretations of this contentious evidence base, Dr. Mario Kratz and Dr. Gil Carvalho join the podcast to go through the studies most directly related to these questions.

Biblical Counseling Africa: Equipping the Church for Gospel-Centered Care in South Africa and BeyondRecorded on the road at the Biblical Counseling Coalition Global Summit, this Speak the Truth podcast episode features interviews with Kyle Johnston and Jane Kratz from Cape Town, South Africa, about their ministry contexts and the growth of Biblical Counseling Africa. Jane shares how her husband's death in 2012 led her to pursue a theologically rich approach to grief and loss, moving from prior psychology studies to biblical counseling training through ABC's Equipped to Counsel material and later studying at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, with additional church experience in Texas before returning to South Africa. Kyle, an ordained minister at Gracefield Church in Fish Hoek, explains how pastoral ministry exposed a gap between confident pulpit preaching and applying Scripture in complex, conversational counseling situations; this led him to training through Wayne Mack's curriculum in South Africa and a master's degree at The Master's University in Los Angeles (2012), while continuing to prioritize pastoral care and counseling in church life.They discuss why they remain committed to serving in Africa despite opportunities elsewhere, noting both the significant needs in Cape Town and South Africa and the mission field created by migration from other African nations. They describe cultural observations, including hospitality and the value of contextual ministry shaped by South Africa's historical experience, including navigating multicultural ministry after apartheid.Kyle outlines how Biblical Counseling Africa began in part to make CCEF training more accessible and affordable in their context and to expand beyond South Africa through online courses. The organization's aim is to equip local churches across Africa to provide wise, loving, gospel-centered pastoral care that restores Christ to counseling. They describe a three-level approach: (1) grassroots seminars, talks, and workshops (including using ABC conference resources with local case studies and courses such as Jane's nine-week grief care course); (2) training such as ABC's Equipped to Counsel offered during COVID and in-person; and (3) advanced CCEF courses, with growing enrollment. Future focus includes helping pastors develop a church-wide culture of care, vulnerability, and mutual ministry beyond sermon-centered expectations.They explain that Biblical Counseling Africa is a nonprofit and invite listeners to support the work through prayer, financial giving, and volunteering. They emphasize the need for resources to sustain operations, relieve volunteer load, and provide scholarships for students from poorer African contexts. They express gratitude for support from American partners including CCEF, ABC, BCC, and others, noting that courses are offered at about a quarter of the normal cost, and direct listeners to biblicalcounsellingafrica.com for more information and contact.00:00 Welcome to Speak the Truth (Podcast Intro)01:09 Meet Jane: From Grief & Loss to Biblical Counseling02:30 Texas Culture Shock & Accent Stories03:39 Meet Kyle: Pastoral Ministry Path into Counseling06:12 Why Stay & Serve in Africa?
