On His way to Jerusalem and the cross, Jesus met two men in Jericho who both experienced deep insecurity, because of physical, relational, emotional and spiritual inadequacies.  Marginalized by the people around them, it would have been easy to give up, but they both sought spiritual restoration and purpose from the Saviour.  Their example calls us to resist doubt, withdrawal, self-centeredness and defeat, and to press on with resilient faith.  Video of this service is also available:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdYFsUzxgFE&t=3613s

What if one of the most powerful testimonies of God's love in the scriptures comes from a woman whose story we often skip over? In this episode, BYU professor of ancient scripture Amy Easton discusses a compelling study of Hagar–the enslaved Egyptian woman who becomes the only person in the Old Testament to name God–by discussing her article "'You Are the God Who Sees Me': God's Loving-Kindness to Hagar." Professor Easton guides listeners into the heart of Hagar's story, showing how her experiences of trauma, exploitation, and exile reveal a God who is intimately aware of those on the margins. She highlights Hagar's transformative encounters in the wilderness, where God sees her, hears her, makes promises directly to her, and ultimately liberates her and her son. Through these moments, we come to understand a God who works both within hardship and beyond it. Further, Professor Easton explains how Hagar's story affirms a universal truth that God sees all His children and invites us to see and care for one another with that same loving‑kindness.    Publications:  "'You Are the God Who Sees Me': God's Loving-Kindness to Hagar," in Tender Mercies and Loving-Kindness: The Goodness of God in the Old Testament, Religious Studies Center (2026)  "A Multiplicity of Witnesses: Women and the Translation Process," with Rachel Cope, in A Hundredth Part: Exploring the History and Teachings of the Book of Mormon, Religious Studies Center (2023)  "Recognizing Responsibility and Standing with Victims: Studying Women of the Old Testament," in Covenant of Compassion: Caring for the Marginalized and Disadvantaged in the Old Testament, Religious Studies Center (2021)  "Lehi's Dream as a Template for Understanding Each Act of Nephi's Vision," in The Things Which My Father Saw: Approaches to Lehi's Dream and Nephi's Vision, Religious Studies Center (2011)    Click here to learn more about Amy Easton

In this episode of Social Work Talks, moderator Mel Wilson is joined by Nina Schlegel and Daniel Faber both of the Global Center for Climate Justice to discuss how climate change disproportionately affects vulnerable and marginalized communities across the United States. The conversation explores the impact of climate change denialism, voter disenfranchisement, and environmental injustice on communities of color, including Native American communities, as well as rural and inner-city populations—and why climate justice is a critical social work issue.

In this compelling interview, Michael Harney from Netflix's groundbreaking series Orange is the New Black discusses the show's fourth season launch and its profound impact on representation in television. Harney reflects on his journey to the role after working with creator Jenji Kohan on Weeds, explaining how he immediately said yes when approached for the project because he knew the quality she would create. He shares his initial uncertainty about the show's potential success, never imagining it would become the cultural phenomenon that helped establish Netflix as a major player in original programming. Harney emphasizes how the show's diverse cast gives voice to marginalized communities that have been oppressed and underrepresented, making his work feel like activism within the entertainment industry.The conversation delves deep into the importance of backstory in the show's storytelling approach, which Harney considers essential to its success. He explains how revealing why people wind up incarcerated and why prison workers take certain actions allows viewers to identify personally with the characters and realize "that could be me." Harney thoughtfully discusses the complexities of the justice system, acknowledging that it's not black and white but rather a systemic struggle that often fails to find what really happened in situations. He addresses issues like housing mentally ill individuals in prisons rather than appropriate facilities, expressing hope that the show will raise questions and potentially inspire real-world changes in how society handles incarceration and justice.

What happens when medical care reduces a whole human being to a number on a scale? In this episode of Dr. Marianne-Land, I'm joined by Ivy Felicia, Body Relationship Coach and founder of Luxuriant Life, for a deeply grounding conversation about anti-fat bias in healthcare, chronic illness, and what it actually takes to build peace with your body in a system that often causes harm. Ivy shares her lived experience as a Black woman of size navigating PCOS, autoimmune illness, thyroid disease, and repeated medical dismissal. We talk openly about the moment a provider told her weight loss surgery was the only option and what it meant to be treated as disposable when she declined. That moment became a turning point that reshaped her relationship with her body and ultimately led to the creation of her Body Relationship Method, a size-inclusive, weight-neutral approach grounded in compassion, self-trust, and holistic wellness. Throughout this conversation, we explore how chronic illness, medical trauma, and anti-fat bias intersect, and why body positivity is not always accessible or supportive for people living in pain, disability, or marginalized bodies. Ivy explains why she centers body peace rather than body love, and how choosing neutrality and non-violence toward your body can be a more realistic and healing place to start. We also discuss the role of spirituality and surrender in healing a relationship with your body. Ivy describes how prayer, connection to nature, journaling, and honoring ancestors support her through periods of overwhelm, and why taking healing one breath at a time can feel far more attainable than one day at a time when you live with chronic pain or illness. This episode also dives into internalized anti-fat bias and internalized ableism. Ivy shares how listening, witnessing, and affirming someone's lived experience can be profoundly reparative, especially for people who have spent years being dismissed or erased by medical systems. We talk about visibility, self-advocacy, and how being truly heard can help people reclaim their voice and their worth. If you've ever felt disconnected from your body because of chronic illness, eating disorder recovery, medical trauma, or weight stigma, this conversation offers a gentler way forward. There is no finish line here. There is no pressure to love your body. There is space to move toward peace, at your own pace, one breath at a time. About Ivy Felicia Ivy Felicia is a Body Relationship Coach, certified holistic wellness practitioner, speaker, and founder of Luxuriant Life, LLC. She is the creator of the Body Relationship Method, a trademarked, size-inclusive, weight-neutral approach that helps people heal body image, navigate chronic illness with compassion, and rebuild self-trust.

We start by talking about the recent US Supreme Court hearing on cases challenging the bans on Trans women from playing on women's sports teams. The conservative justices questioned if such bans were really discrimination since the trans community is so small. We mention how they made the same arguments in upholding the bans on gender affirming care last year and how it is similar to the arguments used to support Jim Crow laws during the civil rights era. The sports bans are yet another attempt to erase trans people from the canvas of society and serves no rational reason just a religious bigotry reason.Next we look at the murder of Renee Good and how her death not only highlights the extreme measures government agents will take against individuals standing up for their neighbors but also points to a persistent narrative that resurfaces often: the dehumanization of individuals labeled as "other." There is an alarming tendency for authorities to shift blame onto the victims, rather than addressing the flawed systems that contribute to such violence. This hypocrisy and deliberate denial of accountability must be called out as it perpetuates cycles of injustice.Finally we examine the legislative moves by Christian nationalists aiming to influence public education through a proposed "success sequence" framework in Ohio. This initiative seeks to dictate personal and familial decisions by mandating that youth follow a three-step path of education, employment, and marriage before having children as a means to avoid poverty. While the intent may appear benign, but we find the underlying agenda and biases within this bill—one that seeks not only to uphold conservative values but to erase the economic realities faced by many in the lower socioeconomic strata. We also question the fundamental assumptions behind such a sequence, arguing that it ignores systemic barriers, such as race, socioeconomic status, and educational access.Full show notes & links usedSubscribe to our free newsletterCheck out our merch

This episode is a special re-release of the most-watched Please Me Podcast episode of 2025—an award-winning conversation recognized with the Latin Podcast Award for Best LGBTQ+ Podcast. Its message remains powerful, relevant, and deeply impactful, which is why we're bringing it back for continued listening and reflection. In this meaningful episode, Eve reflects on LGBTQ+ advocacy, the power of visibility, and the importance of community—drawing inspiration from experiencing World Pride while in Washington, D.C. during the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) 50th Anniversary Conference. That intersection of global celebration and policy-centered advocacy sparked a deeper conversation around representation, accountability, and collective action. This episode honors the resilience, brilliance, and humanity of LGBTQ+ voices while addressing the ongoing social and legislative challenges impacting the community today. This episode is dedicated to our trans and non-binary friends in the LGBTQ+ community, whose lives, leadership, and lived experiences deserve visibility, protection, and amplification.

In this episode of the Depth Work podcast, I speak with clinical psychologist, professor, and author, Phil Yanos about his powerful new book "Exiles in New York City" an exploration of how institutionalization creates barriers of exclusion and banishment in urban landscapes.Phil shares his unique journey growing up on Ward's Island near Manhattan Psychiatric Center, where his father worked as a psychiatrist. Through his research and interviews with current residents, Phil reveals how Ward's Island has become a site of profound contradiction – simultaneously rebranded as a recreational space for privileged New Yorkers while functioning as a place of exile for those deemed too "mad" to belong in mainstream society.In our conversation we explore concrete solutions for transforming Ward's Island into a more just and integrated community, a vision that seems more possible with the recent election of Zohran Mamdani who has emphasized housing justice. We also discuss the wins and losses in mental health advocacy in recent years, what we've learned from working with those labeled with “psychosis” or “schizophrenia”, and what clinicians can do better.Bio:Philip T. Yanos is professor of psychology at John Jay College of Criminal Justice and the Graduate Center, City University of New York and Director of Clinical Training for the Ph.D. program in Clinical Psychology at John Jay College.

At its core, there's a phenomenon some analysts call "anger privilege." This isn't just about who *gets* to be angry, but whose anger is deemed inherently righteous, whose demands are accepted without question, and whose very emotion is weaponized to silence opposition. For marginalized groups, anger is often a powerful, necessary response to systemic oppression—a "prophetic rage" against structural injustice.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/racism-white-privilege-in-america--4473713/support.

Jesus consistently engaged with and healed the marginalized, challenging His followers to do the same, demonstrating that the gospel transforms lives where they are. Fr. Scott Fleming in the tradition of the 19th Century Tractarians offers much to ponder for the church today.

2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 2:5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; 2:6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; 2:7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: 2:8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) 2:9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

Many people discover they are autistic only after years of struggling with eating disorders. This episode explores how a late autism diagnosis can reshape recovery by offering new understanding, compassion, and practical tools that fit the neurodivergent brain. Understanding a Late Autism Diagnosis Receiving an autism diagnosis in adulthood can bring both clarity and grief. It helps explain lifelong struggles with sensory overload, food textures, or social expectations, while revealing how years of misdiagnosis delayed meaningful support. In recovery, recognizing autism can change everything by connecting eating patterns to sensory differences and masking rather than willpower or motivation. Masking, Sensory Needs, and Food Autistic masking often overlaps with eating disorder behaviors. Restricting food, eating “normally” in social settings, or following rigid meal plans can become ways to hide difference and avoid judgment. This chronic effort to appear typical creates exhaustion and disconnection from true needs. At the same time, sensory experiences around food are often intense. Taste, smell, temperature, and texture can feel overwhelming or unpredictable. Foods that others find pleasant may feel unsafe or even painful. Sustainable recovery begins when we make space for sensory preferences and allow eating to feel safe rather than forced. ARFID and Autism Overlap Avoidant or Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) frequently occurs alongside autism. This overlap reflects sensory sensitivities, fear of choking or nausea, and low appetite rather than body image concerns. Recognizing this link shifts the goal of recovery away from compliance and toward creating safety, autonomy, and predictability in eating. Intersectionality in Diagnosis and Recovery Autism and eating disorders cannot be separated from the realities of race, gender, body size, class, and sexuality. Marginalized people are less likely to be diagnosed early and more likely to experience bias in treatment. Fat, BIPOC, and queer autistic people are often labeled as resistant when their needs are simply misunderstood. A liberation-based approach to recovery asks how we can build care that honors the whole person. It challenges systems that pathologize difference and reframes healing as a process of reclaiming identity and dignity, not just changing eating behaviors. Case Example Dr. Marianne shares the story of a fat, queer woman of color who learned she was autistic in her late 30s after years of being told she was noncompliant in treatment. Providers dismissed her sensory distress and focused only on weight loss. She masked constantly, pretending to eat foods that overwhelmed her senses in order to appear cooperative. Her diagnosis transformed her recovery. She began to design meals that respected her sensory needs, sought affirming providers, and connected with other neurodivergent women of color. Once her care aligned with her full identity, shame gave way to self-trust, and recovery finally felt sustainable. Pathways Toward Neurodivergent-Affirming Recovery A late autism diagnosis does not make recovery harder, but it does require reframing what recovery means. Sensory-attuned approaches allow individuals to choose foods that feel safe rather than forcing exposure to distressing ones. Predictable meal routines and gentle flexibility can replace pressure to eat intuitively when interoception is limited. Executive functioning supports such as reminders, meal prep systems, and visual cues make daily nourishment possible. These tools are not crutches; they are accommodations. Recovery also involves boundary-setting and self-advocacy after years of masking needs. Finding autistic and intersectional community can turn isolation into belonging, making recovery not just about food but about identity and connection. Who This Episode Is For This episode is for autistic adults in recovery, clinicians learning to support neurodivergent clients, and anyone who has realized that standard eating disorder treatment does not fit. It also speaks to people exploring how autism, sensory processing, and identity intersect with food and body experiences.

Set in a dystopian future where memories are traded like commodities and the world's political order looks very different, Yiming's novel explores the idea of collective memory, when to choose survival over resistance and what happens when a marginalized experience becomes central. It was a pleasure to have the opportunity to speak to the author himself and in true MMM fashion, ask him all the questions about what makes him tick.Check out YiMing's debut novel and website below:These Memories Do Not Belong To UShttps://www.yiming-ma.com/

Health misinformation is a growing challenge, as social media has become a primary source of information for many people, and influential voices are casting doubt on established medical practices.  Trusted health sources are becoming harder to find, especially in communities of color where access to care is already limited and systemic barriers persist.  The fight to bring reliable health information and resources to vulnerable communities is not new.  For decades, organizations like the Arthur Ashe Institute for Urban Health have been doing this  work — building trust, educating communities and empowering individuals to take charge of  their health.  To learn more, we spoke with Dr. Marilyn Fraser, Chief Executive Officer of the Arthur Ashe Institute for Urban Health. Dr. Fraser speaks with Movement Is Life's Conchita Burpee.

This week we continue our August celebration of our favorite interviews and themes—and this week we're going back to two authors who inspired us so much for their advocacy, their championing of non-mainstream characters, and their commitment to the hard work of speaking truth to power. Both of these heartfelt, brave authors had a lot to say about the kinds of characters they want to see in books, why representation matters, and how standing up for what they believe in isn't so much a choice as a way of being in the world. Very inspiring to bring Maggie Tokuda-Hall and Lee Wind's voices together in this week's round-up. Maggie Tokuda-Hall is the author Also an Octopus, illustrated by Benji Davies, The Mermaid, The Witch and The Sea, Squad, illustrated by Lisa Sterle, and Love in the Library illustrated by Yas Imamura with more books forthcoming. She lives in Oakland, California with her husband, son, and their objectively perfect dog. Lee Wind is a storyteller out to engage, empower, and hold safe space for communities. He is the Chief Content Creator for the Independent Book Publishers Association and the author of multiple books, including the nonfiction titles No Way, They Were Gay? and The Gender Binary Is a Big Lie, the novels Queer as a Five-Dollar Bill and A Different Kind of Brave, and social justice and Queer-history themed picture books. Lee's popular blog is I'm Here. I'm Queer. What the Hell Do I Read? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

One day at Wrigley Field in Chicago last May, Paul Skenes was pitching for the Pittsburgh Pirates, carving out a small piece of baseball history in his second big-league game. He struck out the first seven batters he faced. By the end of the fifth inning, he had increased his strikeout total to 10. More impressive, he hadn't allowed a hit.Over the past two decades, analysts have identified a treasure trove of competitive advantages for teams willing to question baseball's established practices.Perhaps the most significant of competitive advantages was hidden in plain sight, at the center of the diamond. Starting pitchers were traditionally taught to conserve strength so they could last deep into games. Throwing 300 innings in a season was once commonplace; in 1969 alone, nine pitchers did it. But at some definable point in each game, the data came to reveal, a relief pitcher becomes a more effective option than the starter, even if that starter is Sandy Koufax or Tom Seaver — or Paul Skenes.
