Former porn star Jenna Jameson finds Jesus, citing her religious lesbian girlfriend, providing the church with a high-profile win they desperately need. We dissect the hypocrisy of evangelical Christianity embracing her celebrity while conveniently ignoring her sexual orientation and adult film past. Her public shift contrasts her "old sinful ways" against her former sex-worker peers, exposing "prototypical Christian snobbery" and questioning if this faith is sincere or a cynical grab for attention.News Source:Jenna Jameson's Partner Lir Ocampo Inspired Her to Find JesusBy Unknown for US Magazine

Whitney laments her money woes to Justin and — though futile — attempts to extract herself from Entity; Heather prepares her younger daughter for college and readies herself for an empty nest Cumspringa. In the spirit of her impending American citizenship, Bronwyn assembles the ladies for a “Spill the Tea Party” where they reenact the Boston Tea Party and confess to the gossip they've spread about each other. Meredith's plane meltdown comes into question again, as Whitney accuses her of being a pill-popping booze head, leading Meredith to whip out drug tests to clear her name.

The Esplanade development finally broke ground in Chateau, after nearly a decade of planning, which means we're one step closer to a permanent Ferris Wheel on the North Side. Plus, there are fresh hopes and dreams for Station Square now that a new developer is taking over. Host Megan Harris, executive producer Mallory Falk, and producer Sophia Lo discuss what they'd like to see on the riverfront site, why alcohol sales are dipping in PA (and why Pennsylvanians can't get enough of Fireball and pink lemonade vodka), and why you'll soon see driverless taxis cruising down city streets.

This week on The Narrative, Aaron and Mike break down two major stories making headlines: the latest developments in the case of the Toledo doctor who forced abortion pills on his girlfriend, and the new peer-reviewed HHS report that uncovers the truth about pediatric gender dysphoria. After the news, tune in for the powerful and uncompromising message from author and speaker Rosaria Butterfield, recorded live at CCV’s 2025 Essential Summit. Known for her sharp clarity and bold testimony, Rosaria shares her journey from a tenured queer-theory professor and LGBTQ activist to a follower of Christ, and how the Gospel reshaped everything she believed about womanhood, identity, and truth. With striking honesty, Rosaria opens up about the personal cost of her conversion, the pastors who discipled her with patience and Scripture, and why she believes today’s cultural pressures are discipling young women far more aggressively than the Church. She unpacks the roots of modern feminism and gender ideology, their impact on Gen Z, and why she says the Church must recover courage, conviction, and biblical clarity in this moment. If you want a message that challenges, sharpens, and calls believers to contend for the faith with strength and love, you won’t want to miss this episode. More About Rosaria Butterfield Dr. Rosaria Butterfield is a former tenured professor of English and women’s studies at Syracuse University, who came to Christ in what she describes as a “train wreck” conversion. Her journey is chronicled in her memoir, The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert. Once an outspoken advocate for feminist philosophy and LGBTQ+ politics, Rosaria was drawn to faith through the hospitality of a local pastor and his wife. After years of conversation and Scripture study, she gave her life to Christ in 1999. Today, Rosaria is married to a Reformed Presbyterian pastor. She is also a mother and grandmother, as well as a speaker and author. Want to See Rosaria Butterfield Live? Dr. Rosaria Butterfield will return to CCV's Essential Summit in 2026!

Before Gaga does her first show in the country tonight, let's take you back to when... Mother Monster herself Lady Gaga opened up to us about her new album Mayhem, describing it as a collection of dark dreams expressed through celebration, with Abracadabra embodying resilience on the dancefloor. She shared how the music video, choreographed by Paris Goebel, represents the fight of life and was inspired by the strength and joy of the LGBTQ+ community. Gaga expressed deep gratitude to her queer fans, acknowledging their role in shaping her career and emphasizing the importance of standing together. Beyond music, Gaga revealed she’s prioritizing love, family, and creative freedom, even dreaming of writing her own Broadway show in the future. And in the chat, Gaga hints at an Aussie tour.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 5 of Standard Deviation with Oliver Bogler on the Out of Patients podcast feed pulls you straight into the story of Dr Ethan Moitra, a psychologist who fights for LGBTQ mental health while the system throws every obstacle it can find at him.Ethan built a study that tracked how COVID 19 tore through an already vulnerable community. He secured an NIH grant. He built a team. He reached 180 participants. Then he opened an email on a Saturday and learned that Washington had erased his work with one sentence about taxpayer priorities. The funding vanished. The timeline collapsed. His team scattered. Participants who trusted him sat in limbo.A federal court eventually forced the government to reinstate the grant, but the damage stayed baked into the process. Ethan had to push through months of paperwork while his university kept the original deadline as if the shutdown had not happened. The system handed him a win that felt like a warning.I brought Ethan on because his story shows how politics reaches into science and punishes the people who serve communities already carrying too much trauma. His honesty lands hard because he names the fear now spreading across academia and how young scientists question whether they can afford to care about the wrong population.You will hear what this ordeal did to him, what it cost his team, and why he refuses to walk away.RELATED LINKSFaculty PageNIH Grant DetailsScientific PresentationBoston Globe CoverageFEEDBACKLike this episode?

One of the most compelling personal and political stories in Congress today — raw, principled, and deeply human. In this ICYMI episode, Corey revisits his conversation with Congressman Ritchie Torres, who represents New York's 15th district in the Bronx. With refreshing candor, Torres shares his journey from public housing and poverty to becoming the first openly LGBTQ elected official from the Bronx and one of the most forthright voices in American politics. He discusses the values that shape his independence, his commitment to social justice, why he proudly defends Israel despite intense backlash, and the inner tools he uses to face personal and political challenges — all while staying focused on the people he serves.

After Wikipedia made its debut in 2001, some trends quickly emerged. Most editors were male, topics tended to skew toward geek culture interests like computing and gaming, and only a small fraction of biographies were about women. More than two decades later, biases and knowledge gaps on Wikipedia of all sorts remain, especially for marginalized communities. But a UC Berkeley professor and her students are working to change that.Since 2016, ethnic studies professor Juana María Rodríguez has partnered with Wiki Education to teach a range of courses in which students create and edit Wikipedia articles about the contributions of LGBTQ people, especially queer and trans people of color. “Wikipedia is a public-facing project — it's the largest encyclopedia in the world,” says Rodríguez. “In a political moment where these histories are actively being erased from public view, having students work on a platform like Wikipedia becomes even more important.”This is the second episode of a new Berkeley Voices season, featuring UC Berkeley scholars working on life-changing research and the people whose lives are changed by it.Listen to the episode and read the transcript on UC Berkeley News (news.berkeley.edu/podcasts/berkeley-voices).Music by Blue Dot Sessions.UC Berkeley photo by Brandon Sánchez Mejia.

Beneath the surface, Israel is fighting for the soul of its religion — and most of us don't even see the battle lines. In this episode of Madlik Disruptive Torah, Geoffrey Stern and Rabbi Adam Mintz are joined by Professor Adam S. Ferziger to explore the quiet revolution reshaping Israeli Judaism. Drawing on his new book, Agents of Change, Ferziger reveals how American Modern Orthodoxy—its values, institutions, and worldview—has profoundly influenced Religious Zionism and the broader Israeli religious landscape. From the tension between nationalism and modernity to the emergence of a new Israel-born generation, we uncover the cultural, political, and spiritual crossroads Israel now faces. Beneath the surface, Israel is fighting for the soul of its religion—and American Jews are playing a bigger role than anyone expected. Key Takeaways American Modern Orthodoxy Has Become a Quiet Force in Israeli Judaism Israeli Religious Zionism Is Splitting Into Two Distinct Paths Israel's Next Generation of Leaders Will Be Religious — But Neither Haredi or National Religious Timestamps [00:00:00] Jacob returns from exile with wealth, family, and a new identity; exile reframed as productive, not just punishment. [00:01:00] Intro to Professor Adam Ferziger and his book Agents of Change about American Jews reshaping Israeli Judaism. [00:02:00] Host sets the frame: modern Orthodoxy's influence on Israeli religious life, education, feminism, and LGBTQ inclusion. [00:03:00] Ferziger's personal story: gap year yeshiva, Aliyah in 1987, building family and rabbinic life in Kfar Saba. [00:04:54] Early political snapshot: the failed "Meimad" experiment and how Anglo moderates felt marginal and deviant. [00:06:36] Shift in the 2000s: religious-Zionist camp diversifies; modern Orthodox voices gain legitimacy and visibility. [00:09:05] Explaining American Modern Orthodoxy: Torah plus general culture, YU, day schools, Rav Soloveitchik's synthetic model.

What does it mean to build wealth when the world hasn't always made space for your identity? That's the question at the heart of today's conversation, and the driving force behind a powerful new book reshaping how LGBTQ+ people think about money, belonging, and the future. On this episode of So Money, I'm joined by Nick Wolny, a longtime personal finance journalist, columnist for OUT Magazine, and now the author of Money Proud: The Queer Guide to Generate Wealth, Slay Debt, and Build Good Habits to Secure Your FutureNick brings a candid, deeply human lens to the financial lives of queer people, from the emotional and cultural realities that shape money choices to the systems and habits that help rebuild stability, confidence, and long-term security. His own story, which he describes not as self-help but as a kind of spiritual reckoning, is woven throughout the book and sets the stage for an honest, energetic, and eye-opening conversation.

In 1996 everything changed. With the introduction of antiretroviral medications called the “AIDS cocktail,” people started getting better – some dramatically – and surviving AIDS became a real possibility. In the wake of these changes, MCC found itself taking stock of what they lost to AIDS and using what they learned to address larger social issues– from medical marijuana to homelessness. Sometimes these political stances felt heroic and a way to use that collective energy, and other times it made the church very unpopular with the changing Castro neighborhood.    “Freedom is Coming”  is by Anders Nyberg.  “All Things New” is by Rory Cooney. “Blessed Assurance” is by Franny Crosby. “Gloria (Angels We Have Heard on High” is a traditional Christmas hymn.  “The Potter's House” is by V.

Was Jesus kind of a stand-up comedian?I mean think about it... A priest, a rabbi, and Jesus walked into a bar. Only Jesus recognized the setup for a joke. I never really thought about Jesus being funny or not. I mean, we've heard the stories 1000 times and... I usually smile at the funnier parts, but I never exactly said, Jesus is really funny!Then I found a little book that really opened my eyes.I will share that with you today as we talk about how funny, profoundly funny, Jesus was. We sure could use a few laughs right now.Send us a private message. *Note: INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS if you'd like us to answer. :-) Support the show

In this episode, Julie tells Savannah about a social media post she make for "Protect the Dolls" and a comment that made her take the post down and re-evaluate what was most appropriate and most inclusive. While protecting the beautiful, young and passable "dolls" is a just cause, there are many who feel they are old, clockable "bricks" that do not fall under the same protection. Julie discusses the wisdom in the comment she received , the research she did, and the better post she created to treat ALL dolls equal.-----SAVANNAH HAUK is the author of “Living with Crossdressing: Defining a New Normal” and “Living with Crossdressing: Discovering your True Identity“.

Her latest achievements are two TEDx Talks, one entitled "Demystifying the Crossdressing Experience" and the other "13 Milliseconds: First Impressions of Gender Expression". Savannah is a male-to-female dual-gender crossdresser who is visible in the Upstate of South Carolina, active in local groups and advocating as a public speaker at LGBTQ+ conferences and workshops across the United States.

For decades he moved between crises—Afghanistan, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, East Timor—but Myanmar, and the Rohingya tragedy in particular, define his moral world. He first encountered the Rohingya in 2008 while in Aceh, when boats of desperate families arrived on Indonesian shores. Unprepared officials and global indifference convinced him to keep their story alive within humanitarian networks, a concern that eventually drew him to Myanmar itself. He arrived in August 2017, and felt strongly that a catastrophe was about to unfold. Weeks later, the campaign began. When his IOM contract ended, Greening stayed on in Rakhine, linking aid agencies with local civil society and supporting the 2019 White Rose campaign of interfaith solidarity. Trapped in Bangkok by COVID, he later moved to Mae Sot, where he now supports exiled youth and the wounded. “They're inspiring,” he says. “They're not giving up!” Greening finds particular inspiration in both the leading role taken in the resistance by Burmese youth, and by Myanmar's emerging cross-ethnic unity: “That's the real revolution,” he says, “ethnic cooperation.” At the same time, he has reasons for concern, such as the lack of full acceptance of women and LGBTQ youth in the movement, as well as in a future, post-conflict Myanmar. He also wants to ensure that the movement is not co-opted by career politicians who have fled the area for their own safety but intend to regain power in a post-conflict Myanmar. Greening is unsentimental about how many revolutions turn out, and the effects of trauma across generations, yet still has hope. “If [the people] can be more united,” he says, “then we move the revolution forward again.”
