John 20:21 "Sent as He was Sent" This concludes the sermon series "A Community of Light". Because the risen Christ was sent by the Father and now sends His people, the church must live as a gospel-shaped, Spirit-empowered, mission-minded community in the world. We are not merely saved from the world; we are sent into it by Jesus. We considered 4 ways to follow His calling: 1- See yourself as sent, 2- Pray for open doors, 3- Speak the Gospel clearly, 4- Live in a way that fits the message.

You don't get extra credit for suffering.There is a difference between discomfort that should be endured and suffering that deserves treatment. In this final episode of Menopause in the Light, Coach Alex brings the entire series together by tackling some of the most confusing—and heavily marketed—parts of menopause. Hormone therapy. Testosterone. Sleep. Sexual health. Peptides. GLP-1 medications. Expensive hormone panels. “Bioidentical” treatments. Optimization culture.The goal isn't to tell every woman what treatment she needs. It's to help you become a more informed participant in your own healthcare, ask better questions, and recognize when faithful stewardship means doing the hard thing—and when it means getting help.In this episode, Coach Alex discusses:Why menopausal hormone therapy is neither the devil nor the saviorWhat current evidence says about estrogen and menopausal symptomsWhy route, dose, medical history, and individual risk matterWhy many women probably don't need expensive hormone panelsWhat “bioidentical hormones” actually meansThe limited but legitimate role of testosterone therapyWhy painful sex should not simply be accepted as part of agingSleep disruption, hot flashes, insomnia, and sleep apneaMood changes during perimenopause and menopauseWhat to know before jumping into peptide therapyGLP-1 medications and the importance of preserving muscleHow to evaluate the next supplement, hormone, device, injection, or wellness trend somebody tries to sell youWhy health data should serve your life—not become your lifeWhen it's time to stop managing symptoms alone and talk with a qualified healthcare professionalOne of the central questions of the episode is simple: What problem am I actually trying to solve?Before adding another supplement, test, medication, protocol, wearable, or optimization strategy, get clear about the problem first. And through all four episodes of Menopause in the Light, remember:Your body is changing.You are not broken.Train it.Nourish it.Get help when help is warranted.And never confuse your physical health with your worth. As Coach Alex closes the series: “Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come.”There may still be decades of serving, leading, mentoring, traveling, building, teaching, loving, training, praying, giving, and becoming ahead of you.Your Next Faithful Step--If this series helped you understand menopause better but left you wondering:“What do I personally need to work on first?”Start with the Faithful Fitness Assessment.The assessment evaluates your health and stewardship through four Faithful Fitness anchors:Integrity • Grit • Growth • AweYou'll receive a personalized report identifying strengths, gaps, and areas that may deserve your attention next.And your $7.99 assessment also includes your seat in the next live Faithful Fitness workshop with Coach Alex, where you can better understand your results, ask questions, and identify your next faithful step.Take the Faithful Fitness Assessment: https://faithfulfitness.co/assessmentBecause you probably don't need more random information.You need enough clarity about your situation to make a wise decision about what comes next.Train Hard.

Matthew 5:14-16 "Witness in a Dark World" After previously being challenged to love one another, to bear one another's burdens, and to walk in the unity of the Spirit, we are now challenged to shine His light to the world. The church does not create the light; we reflect the Light who has changed us. Because Christ has made us His people, we are called to live visibly different lives that point a watching world toward the glory of our Father. Ways to shine include: living with visible integrity; noticing someone who needs light; doing something good without needing credit; being ready to speak of Jesus.

Tony Gyenis channels spirit's message on how to keep our inner light bright. Many may think it is not a big deal and this is why spirit wanted to cover this. The world is upgrading and this is one reason why our light inside wants to match this growth. If there is some resistance within us that is when there is a conflict. No wonder we feel out of sorts. The problem isn't outside of us but it is the light that wants to come out us in this Earthly shifts.   Spirit wants us to appreciate what light in us is valuable. Often times it is about controlling everything and your light is smothering and feel like no one is listening to you. Part of maintaining your light is not to justify to everyone that you are worthy or you are a good person. This podcast covers many other aspects of your light. Check it out.

Salt and Light Sermon Series Part #4A sermon series based on the gospel of Matthew. In this series, Pastor Steve dissects each chapter of Matthew and breaks down God's instructions to his people so that they can effectively be the salt and light in today's world.

Ephesians 4:1-6 "Unity in the Spirit" Paul encourages us to live our life in a manner worthy of our calling as Christians. One aspect of that is to seek to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. We looked at four practical ways to protect unity: 1- ASSUME LESS AND ASK MORE. 2- MAKE CHRIST BIGGER THAN YOUR PREFERENCES. 3- TALK TO PEOPLE, NOT ABOUT PEOPLE. 4- REMEMBER THE ONENESS YOU SHARE.

When your body begins changing during perimenopause and menopause, the fitness industry's answer is usually predictable:Eat less.Cut the carbs.Skip breakfast.Fast longer.Do more cardio.But what if eating less isn't actually the strategy your body needs?In Part 3 of Menopause in the Light, Coach Alex Van Houten turns to nutrition—and challenges the idea that midlife health is simply about making the number on the scale smaller.Menopause changes physiology, but it doesn't erase physiology. Energy balance still matters. But so do muscle mass, protein intake, sleep, training, insulin sensitivity, food quality, recovery, and the hormonal changes influencing where and how your body stores fat.The goal isn't just weight loss.The goal is to build and maintain a woman who is strong, capable, metabolically healthy, resilient, well-nourished, and ready to serve.In this episode, Coach Alex breaks down:Why dramatically cutting calories can backfire during menopauseThe difference between weight loss and improving body compositionWhy protein becomes increasingly important as women ageA practical strategy for getting enough protein throughout the dayWhy carbohydrates aren't the enemyThe difference between food and fuelHow whole, nutrient-dense foods can simplify your nutritionFiber, calcium, vitamin D, healthy fats, and bone healthIntermittent fasting and when it may—or may not—serve youWhy breakfast can be a powerful opportunity for better nutritionAlcohol, sleep, and taking an honest inventory of your habitsCreatine and supplements during menopauseIron considerations during perimenopauseWhy you should be skeptical of products promising to “balance your hormones”How husbands and families can support women without becoming the “food police”A biblical perspective on food, gratitude, self-control, and stewardshipCoach Alex also offers a simple framework for building meals:Start with protein. Add plants. Add fuel according to your activity. Pay attention to your fats.Nothing exotic. Nothing magical.Just a repeatable strategy that can still work next year.As 1 Corinthians 10:31 reminds us: “Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all for the glory of God.”Food isn't God.Food isn't the enemy. It's provision—and something we are called to receive with gratitude and steward with wisdom.TAKE THE NEXT STEPIf you're navigating perimenopause or menopause and know it's time to make a change, Coach Alex wants to help you identify where you are now and what deserves your attention first.Go to: faithfulfitness.co/menopauseComplete the Faithful Fitness Assessment and claim your seat for the upcoming live seminar.You'll learn how to take your current starting point and build a practical plan for getting meaningful results over the next 30 days—without miracle supplements, crash diets, or internet gimmicks.Take the assessment and reserve your seat: faithfulfitness.co/menopauseNext week: Menopause in the Light, Part 4 — hormone replacement therapy, sleep, sexual health, supplements, peptides, medical care, and how to know when it's time to ask for more help.Train hard.

Salt and Light Sermon Series Part #3A sermon series based on the gospel of Matthew. In this series, Pastor Steve dissects each chapter of Matthew and breaks down God's instructions to his people so that they can effectively be the salt and light in today's world.

Colossians 3:12-15 "Bearing With One Another" We look at Paul's letter to the Colossians where he describes the characteristics that should be present in a Christian community. We should have compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. We should be bearing with one another since we are all sinners saved by grace. This will enable us to be a light to the world, drawing people out of darkness. Website: immanuelde.com Facebook: immanuelchurchwilmington YouTube: Immanuel Church Wilmington DE

John 13:34-35 "Love One Another" Having finished a series challenging us to grow in Him, we begin a new series challenging us to reflect Him. John chapters 13-17 contain the final instructions of Jesus before the cross. The Old Testament told us to love one another as we love ourselves, but Jesus gave the command to love one another as He loved us. He humbled himself before others. He loved imperfect people patiently. He loved us with truth and grace. He loved us sacrificially. Jesus died to create a redeemed family. Love must come from Christ before it can flow through us, shining His light to the world. Website: immanuelde.com Facebook: immanuelchurchwilmington YouTube: Immanuel Church Wilmington DE

Menopause is one of the largest physiological transitions in a woman's adult life—yet many women are expected to navigate it quietly, without understanding what is happening or receiving meaningful support.In Part 1 of Menopause in the Light, Coach Alex begins a new four-part solo series exploring perimenopause, menopause, and what it means to faithfully steward a woman's body through a changing season.Drawing from more than 20 years of coaching women through peri- and postmenopause, Alex addresses the painful question underneath many women's frustrations:“What is wrong with me?”The answer is clear:Your body is changing. You are not broken.In this episode, Alex explains the difference between perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause; explores why symptoms and severity can vary so widely between women; and names some of the physical, emotional, relational, and metabolic changes that may occur.He also challenges two harmful extremes: dismissing every symptom as “just getting older” and blaming every difficulty after 40 on hormones.Menopause is not a disease—but that does not mean women should quietly endure symptoms that deserve attention, adaptation, or medical care.You'll also hear why a woman's story after 50 does not have to become a story of decline. Strength, muscle, cardiovascular fitness, confidence, wisdom, intimacy, service, and meaningful purpose are still available in this season.This episode also includes an important message for husbands and family members: compassion is not pity, and the women you love should not have to walk through this transition alone or in the dark.IN THIS EPISODEWhat perimenopause and menopause actually meanWhy menopause is a major transition, not a personal failureCommon physical, emotional, and relational challengesWhy symptoms can differ dramatically between womenThe danger of blaming everything on hormonesWhy unusual symptoms and abnormal bleeding deserve medical attentionThe potential freedoms and gains of postmenopausal lifeHow husbands can offer compassion and practical supportWhy adaptation is wisdom—not failureHow women can enter this season with agency and intentionSCRIPTURE FROM THE EPISODE“Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come.”—Proverbs 31:25“For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.”—Ecclesiastes 3:1COMING NEXTIn Part 2 of Menopause in the Light, Coach Alex addresses exercise during perimenopause and postmenopause—including muscle, strength, cardiovascular fitness, bone density, high-intensity exercise, walking, and recovery.This is not about desperately holding onto youth.It is about preparing your body for what God may ask you to do with the decades ahead.NEED HELP NAVIGATING THIS SEASON?Email Coach Alex personally at:coachalex@faithfulfitness.coTell him what has changed, what you have been wrestling with, what you have already tried, and where you currently feel stuck.JOIN THE FAITHFUL FITNESS CORPSYou were not meant to steward your body alone.Join an intentional community of men and women working to make the most of every season God gives them:https://faithfulfitness.co/joinYour body is changing.You are not broken.And there is still a whole lot of good work ahead of you.Train hard.

Salt and Light Sermon Series Part #1 A sermon series based on the gospel of Matthew. In this series, Pastor Steve dissects each chapter of Matthew and breaks down God's instructions to his people so that they can effectively be the salt and light in today's world.

Dr. Arturo Solís Herrera is a surgeon and an eye doctor from Mexico who spent 12 years staring into the eyes of 6,000 patients, chasing an answer no one could give him. Why, he wondered, do the three great causes of blindness still take people's sight the same way they did 100 years ago, no matter how heroic or expensive the treatment? Somewhere in the tiny blood vessels of the optic nerve, he saw something the textbooks never explained. And when he finally understood it, it reshaped how he saw the eye, the body, and the origin of life itself.His claim is simple to say and almost impossible to accept. He says the pigment we call melanin, the same dark molecule that colors your skin and your hair, is doing something inside every cell of your body that we were taught only plants can do. He says it takes in light, it splits water, and from that split it pulls oxygen, hydrogen, and energy. He calls it human photosynthesis. And if he is right, then the oxygen keeping you alive in this moment may not be coming from the air in your lungs at all.Tonight he will tell us why he believes the whole purpose of breathing is to carry a poison out of the body. He will explain why he thinks the real cause of nearly every disease is one broken reaction, hiding in plain sight since the beginning of time. We will talk about batteries that could run for 100 years, walls that stay cool in brutal heat, and soil that could one day wake up on Mars. And we will ask the harder question underneath all of it. If one country has already granted him a patent, and one man has spent 30 years insisting we are made of light and water, why has the rest of the world looked away?Prepare to question everything you thought you knew about the breath in your chest.This is Part 1. Part 2, and all 886 interviews going back to 2008, are at https://veritas7.com/subscribeveritasplus.php

What if the greatest threat to your spiritual growth isn't open rebellion against God—but becoming comfortable with darkness while convincing yourself you're still walking in the light? In Living in the Light | Part 3, Pastor Ken continues our journey through Ephesians with a powerful teaching from Ephesians 5:1-14. Paul challenges believers to move beyond surface-level Christianity and embrace a life that genuinely reflects the character of Christ. This message explores what it means to imitate God as His beloved children, walk in sacrificial love, and pursue a lifestyle that honors Him. Pastor Ken unpacks Paul's warning against compromise, the danger of redefining sin, and the subtle ways culture can desensitize us to things that grieve the heart of God. You'll discover why discipleship is about more than avoiding obvious sin—it's about learning to discern what pleases the Lord. Through Paul's call to live as children of light, we are reminded that the Christian life isn't measured by how close we can get to the line, but by how closely we walk with Jesus. This message also examines the transforming power of God's light. Darkness conceals, deceives, and isolates, but the light of Christ reveals, heals, and restores. What remains hidden often remains strong, but what is brought into the light can finally be transformed. Whether you're wrestling with compromise, seeking greater spiritual maturity, or longing for a deeper relationship with Christ, this message is a compelling invitation to wake up, walk in the light, and live out the new identity God has given you. "Awake, O sleeper, rise up from the dead, and Christ will give you light." — Ephesians 5:14 Join us as we discover what it truly means to live as children of light in a world that desperately needs to see the light of Christ shine through His people.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWOWhat if dying wasn't the end, but the beginning of something far more extraordinary?Shawn Barry Farewell, author of Fallen from the Light, shares his powerful and deeply personal story. Diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of terminal cancer, Shawn faced unimaginable pain and fear. But in the darkest moment of his life—on the night he flatlined—everything changed. He crossed over, stood before God, and came back with a message that would alter his understanding of life, death, and everything in between.Shawn's journey is filled with profound encounters with spirits, angels, and even darker forces. At the heart of it all is Gloria, a radiant guardian angel he believes was sent to him by God. Gloria's presence offered unwavering comfort, wisdom, and guidance through his most harrowing moments—both in the physical and spiritual realms. From supernatural visions to battles of faith, Shawn's story is one of courage, revelation, and hope. His story is a reminder that there's more to this world—and the next—than meets the eye.#neardeathexperience #afterlife #lifeafterdeath #spiritualjourney #guardianangel #paranormal #supernatural #faithandspirituality #spiritencounters #thegravetalksLove real ghost stories?

The argument is not that every beat causes trance, or that neuroscience has proven spirits. The stronger argument is that rhythm enters the human organism through hearing, motor prediction, breath, movement, attention, emotion, expectation, culture, and social synchrony. The drum becomes powerful when sound, body, group, ritual frame, and meaning converge. These sources support the archaeology, neuroscience, EEG research, shamanic studies, possession studies, Indigenous and culturally specific drum traditions, ritual theory, placebo and meaning-response research, ceremonial magic, and modern witchcraft material used in the episode.Core Academic and Scientific SourcesHuels, Emma R., Hyoungkyu Kim, UnCheol Lee, Tirsa Bel-Bahar, Ana V. Colmenero, Alexandra Nelson, Stefanie Blain-Moraes, George A. Mashour, and Richard E. Harris. “Neural Correlates of the Shamanic State of Consciousness.” Frontiers in Human Neuroscience 15 (2021): 610466. Use for the strongest modern EEG anchor. This study used high-density EEG with shamanic practitioners and controls during rest, shamanic drumming, and classical music listening. It assessed altered-state reports alongside brain measures such as power, connectivity, signal diversity, and criticality. Use carefully: the study does not prove spirits or show that drumming mechanically causes trance in everyone. It supports the more careful claim that trained practitioners entering shamanic states with drumming show measurable brain-state differences.Gordon, Yoel, Golan Karvat, Noa Dagan, and Ayelet N. Landau. “Neural Tracking at Theta Predicts Drumming-Induced Altered States of Consciousness.” Scientific Reports 16, no. 1 (2026): Article 10204. Use for the strongest updated drumming/theta/neural-tracking source. This study tested drumming at theta, delta, and alpha-rate rhythms while recording EEG, and found that stronger rhythmic neural tracking at theta was linked to stronger altered-experience reports. Use carefully: this does not mean theta equals the spirit world or that one frequency opens a portal. The serious point is that altered experience may depend partly on how strongly the nervous system tracks rhythmic stimulation.Aparicio-Terrés, R., et al. “The Neurobiology of Altered States of Consciousness Induced by Drumming and Other Rhythmic Sound Patterns.” Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2025. Use for the newer review literature showing that rhythmic sound is now a serious altered-consciousness research topic. This supports the opening claim that modern academia is examining drumming, rhythmic sound, absorption, relaxation, cognition, and neural activity without reducing the subject to one simple “trance frequency.” The review is especially useful for framing the field as promising but still complex.Neher, Andrew. “Auditory Driving Observed with Scalp Electrodes in Normal Subjects.” Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology 13 (1961): 449–451. Use for the historical bridge between repetitive sound, EEG, auditory driving, and early scientific interest in rhythmic stimulation.Neher, Andrew. “A Physiological Explanation of Unusual Behavior in Ceremonies Involving Drums.” Human Biology 34, no. 2 (1962): 151–160. Use carefully. This is useful as an early attempt to connect ceremonial drumming and physiology, but it should be balanced with Rouget because the “drum simply causes trance” argument is too mechanical.Maurer, R., V. K. Kumar, L. Woodside, and R. J. Pekala. “Phenomenological Experience in Response to Monotonous Drumming and Hypnotizability.” American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis 40, no. 2 (1997): 130–145. Use for monotonous drumming, subjective altered experience, imagery, absorption, and hypnotizability.Maxfield, Melinda C. “Effects of Rhythmic Drumming on EEG and Subjective Experience.” PhD diss., Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, 1990. Use as older supporting context on drumming, EEG, imagery, body-image changes, and subjective altered experience. Do not make this the main scientific proof; use it as background.Nozaradan, Sylvie, Isabelle Peretz, and André Mouraux. “Tagging the Neuronal Entrainment to Beat and Meter.” The Journal of Neuroscience 31, no. 28 (2011): 10234–10240. Use for EEG evidence that the brain can track beat and meter. This supports the claim that the brain does not merely hear rhythm as background sound; it can represent rhythmic structure in measurable ways.Nozaradan, Sylvie. “Exploring How Musical Rhythm Entrains Brain Activity with Electroencephalogram Frequency-Tagging.” Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B 369, no. 1658 (2014). Use as broader rhythm/EEG entrainment support. This helps explain frequency-tagging, beat tracking, meter, neural entrainment, and the measurable relationship between rhythmic structure and brain activity.Thaut, Michael H., Gerald C. McIntosh, and Volker Hoemberg. “Neurobiological Foundations of Neurologic Music Therapy: Rhythmic Entrainment and the Motor System.” Frontiers in Psychology 5 (2015). Use for rhythm as motor-system timing information. This supports the claim that a beat can become bodily instruction, not just sound for the ear. Especially useful when discussing rhythmic auditory stimulation, motor planning, gait, entrainment, and the auditory-motor bridge.Ross, Jessica M., John R. Iversen, and Ramesh Balasubramaniam. “Time Perception for Musical Rhythms: Sensorimotor Perspectives on Entrainment, Simulation, and Prediction.” 2022. Use for rhythm, timing, prediction, sensorimotor entrainment, and the way musical rhythm interacts with time perception.Hove, Michael J., and Jane L. Risen. “It's All in the Timing: Interpersonal Synchrony Increases Affiliation.” Social Cognition 27, no. 6 (2009): 949–960. Use for synchrony and social bonding. This helps support the group-body argument: moving or acting in time with others can increase affiliation.Wiltermuth, Scott S., and Chip Heath. “Synchrony and Cooperation.” Psychological Science 20, no. 1 (2009): 1–5. Use for the claim that synchronized movement can increase cooperation and attachment among participants.Tarr, Bronwyn, Jacques Launay, and Robin I. M. Dunbar. “Music and Social Bonding: ‘Self-Other' Merging and Neurohormonal Mechanisms.” Frontiers in Psychology 5 (2014): 1096. Use for music, synchrony, bonding, endorphin/social mechanisms, and why group rhythm can feel like more than private listening.Fancourt, Daisy, Rosie Perkins, Sara Ascenso, Louise Atkins, Fatima Kilfeather, and Aaron Williamon. “Effects of Group Drumming Interventions on Anxiety, Depression, Social Resilience and Inflammatory Immune Response among Mental Health Service Users.” PLOS ONE 11, no. 3 (2016): e0151136. Use for modern group-drumming research showing psychological and physiological effects, including anxiety, depression, social resilience, wellbeing, and inflammatory immune response. Use carefully: this does not make group drumming a cure-all. It supports the more grounded claim that embodied rhythm and group participation can affect mood, social connection, and body chemistry.Bittman, Barry B., et al. “Composite Effects of Group Drumming Music Therapy on Modulation of Neuroendocrine-Immune Parameters in Normal Subjects.” Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine 7, no. 1 (2001): 38–47. Use as older supporting material on group drumming and neuroendocrine-immune measures. Keep secondary. Fancourt is cleaner for the main script body.Archaeology and Deep History of DrumsLawergren, Bo. “Neolithic Drums in China.” In Music Archaeology in China. 2006. Use for clay drums in Neolithic China and the deep-history claim that drums are not just poetic symbols of antiquity. They appear in the archaeological record as instruments tied to early sound-making, ceremony, and social order.Both, Arnd Adje. “Music Archaeology: Some Methodological and Theoretical Considerations.” Use as general support for why ancient instruments should be treated as ritual and social evidence, not merely decorative objects.Anthropology, Ethnomusicology, Ritual, and TranceRouget, Gilbert. Music and Trance: A Theory of the Relations Between Music and Possession. Translated by Brunhilde Biebuyck. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1985. Essential source.

Charlotte has been on my mind a lot lately. Recently, I profiled the Queen City's Emanuel Wynter in the episode “Violin's Architect of Joyous Sound: Emanuel Wynter”, which followed a recent episode on Charlotte artist Sam Tayloe of the band Time Sawyer titled “New Stages for Time Sawyer and Their Hometown Festival”. Around the time I interviewed Emanuel Wynter, I was in Charlotte on two occasions for interviews that are coming to light here, in the first of a two part series on the public TV program After Dark, the brain child of the late Bill Barnes, who launched the series on WTVI in the late 1970s, continuing through 1984. Charlotte photographer, writer and music producer Daniel Coston came into possession of the audio of performances which were the foundation for After Dark episodes, and Daniel gave me the idea for this podcast and joined in as a co-producer.This episode features interviews with former WTVI staff, members of Charlotte bands The Spongetones and Sugarcreek, as well as Daniel Coston, along with audio excerpts of performances from both aforementioned bands as well as The Fabulous Knobs and New Grass Revival, whose performance was the debut for banjo player Bela Fleck and guitarist Pat Flynn. Along the way is a good bit of history of the scene in Charlotte and the region, focusing on the late 1970s to mid 1980s, but also going back to the days of the Crazy Water Crystals Saturday Night Jamboree, a “barn dance” program on AM radio station WBT beginning in 1933.

This episode is sponsored by Betterhelp.Bjorn Bolinder—photographer, NXIVM insider, and the guy on the ladder in The Vow Episode 3—finally tells his story. For NXIVM nerds, this is the episode you've been waiting for: a behind-the-scenes perspective from someone who witnessed it all but stayed largely unknown to the public. Bjorn walks us through his recruitment in January 2015, how a midnight kitchen conversation about curing Tourette's syndrome planted the seed, and why he signed up for his 5-day already knowing it would be expensive and a pitch.He opens up about his initial resistance on days two or three (and how one module blew right through it), the overwhelming workload as a V-Week photographer working until 2 a.m. for what amounted to $7/hour in "work exchange," and meeting Keith Raniere for the first time with stars in his eyes. Bjorn shares why Nippy was such a green flag for him—in an organization that felt safe after a childhood of being bullied in macho dance studio and school environments—and how NXIVM's Goals Lab became a place where he felt genuinely supported and seen.This first part is all green flags with tiny red ones creeping in around the edges. Thursday's Part 2 brings Pam Cafritz's memorial, the blow-up, and how Bjorn finally figured it out after we left.Follow Bjorn's work at findthelightphotography.com and on Instagram @findthelightphotography.Trigger warning: This episode contains frank discussion of childhood bullying and homophobia.Also…let it be known that:The views and opinions expressed on A Little Bit Culty do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the podcast.
