The episode reflects on Ayn Rand as a major moral novelist whose work defended freedom, integrity, and free markets, while also noting the speaker's criticism that her ethical and political philosophy remained incomplete. It discusses Rand's public reception, her personal relationships, and the claim that her affair with Nathaniel Branden damaged both her life and her movement.The conversation also turns to Western culture, with an argument that Greek universalism and Christian mysticism make it difficult to accept real differences in human abilities and outcomes. It closes with practical comments on dating apps and marriage, and with criticism of false claims in the Lindsay Clancy discussion, which he says weaken trust and make relationships harder.Support philosophy! https://freedomain.com/donate/GET FREEDOMAIN MERCH! https://shop.freedomain.com/SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/FREEDOMAIN2026

Can you actually fall out of love with someone you once deeply loved? In this episode of the 2 Be Better Podcast, we break down a listener's 14-year relationship where resentment, constant conflict, loss of attraction, emotional manipulation, unmet responsibilities, and years of unresolved problems have pushed the marriage to the edge. We talk about what happens when your body starts rejecting your partner, how resentment changes the way you interpret everything they do, why couples begin punishing each other instead of repairing the relationship, and why saying “if you ever loved me, you couldn't stop loving me” can become a powerful guilt tactic. This is an honest conversation about falling out of love, marriage problems, emotional manipulation, relationship resentment, intimacy, attraction, communication, accountability, and knowing when something has to fundamentally change.We also answer a listener preparing for marriage after being diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder and discuss BPD relationships, emotional regulation, DBT, CBT, trauma healing, self-harm, self-love, nervous system regulation, and personal responsibility. A mental health diagnosis can give you valuable information about yourself, but it doesn't have to become your identity or an excuse for hurting the people you love. We talk about learning your triggers, regulating intense emotions, accepting love when you struggle to love yourself, doing the work before marriage, and becoming an active participant in your own healing. Whether you're struggling with a damaged marriage, BPD, trauma, resentment, emotional dysregulation, or simply trying to become a healthier partner, this episode is about taking ownership of what you can control and deciding what happens next.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/2-be-better--5828421/support.

What if the difficult parts of marriage aren't merely problems to solve, but opportunities to grow? In this episode, I'm joined by my husband, Zane, for an honest conversation about how marriage builds character, strengthens faith, and reveals things about us that we may not see on our own. This topic came from a lesson Zane prepared for the young married couples in our small group, and I'll be honest—these deep, reflective conversations don't always come naturally to me! After nearly 39 years of marriage, we've learned that marriage isn't only meant to make us happy or comfortable. It can also become one of the greatest places for God to expose our blind spots, strengthen our character, teach us forgiveness, and help us become more loving, faithful, and self-aware people. We talk about anger, people-pleasing, keeping score, unresolved wounds, personality differences, and the places where we've stopped pursuing each other's hearts. We also share why understanding your spouse's personality can create more compassion without becoming an excuse to avoid growth. This is a deeper conversation, but whether you're newly married or decades into your relationship, I think it will challenge you to see your spouse—and yourself—with fresh eyes. WHAT TO EXPECT IN THIS EPISODE What Zane means when he asks whether marriage can become a path to righteousness Why marriage reveals parts of our character that other relationships may never expose The small-group rule that keeps couples from blaming, fixing, defending, or speaking for their spouse What recurring conflicts may reveal about the areas where God is asking us to grow Jamie's honest struggle with anger and the hurtful words that can surface during conflict How Zane's people-pleasing has sometimes come at Jamie's expense Why curiosity matters and how familiarity can cause us to stop pursuing our spouse's heart How Jamie and Zane have navigated questions and uncertainty surrounding Zane's faith journey What happens when we withhold love, keep score, or wait for our spouse to change first Why unresolved wounds sometimes need to be revisited, even when one spouse would rather move forward The difference between helping your spouse grow and trying to become your spouse's Holy Spirit How personality tools can create greater understanding, grace, and self-awareness in marriage The one way Jamie and Zane each want to love the other differently in this season LINKS AND RESOURCES The Meaning of Marriage by Timothy and Kathy Keller Sacred Marriage by Gary Thomas The Enneagram Institute The Myers & Briggs Foundation WHERE TO LISTEN If this episode encouraged you, I'd love for you to take a few minutes to rate and review The SavvyCast!

During this period, Spurgeon is locked in combat, contending for the honour and glory of Christ. This sermon is situated both in the overall battle he is fighting, but also in the context of a pastoral ministry in which he is conscious of the need to feed and encourage the flock of Christ. So, having previously preached on the Lamb in glory (the previous sermon in this volume, number 2095, if you want to read it for yourself) he now wants to emphasise that this Lamb is the Bridegroom of the church, and that all our hope and happiness centres in him not only in this life but also in the life which is to come. He therefore steps through the prospect that lies before us, noting from Revelation 19 some of the events which precede the moment of marriage. He turns our attention to the marriage itself, asking how it has been brought about and what it involves. He fixes our eye upon the Bridegroom of our hearts, Jesus Christ, in his character as the Lamb of God, pushing us to recognise that this is essential to the union. Finally, he allows us to see the wife of the Lamb as she approaches her Beloved, prepared by him, for him, clothed in the white linen of her righteousnesses. It is a beautiful picture, and one which the preacher would have us ponder, not only to stir up love and faith and hope, but also to ensure that we will, through trust in the Lamb, participate in that glorious consummation.

How do I build more intimacy in my marriage?And is intimacy really the same thing as sex?In this episode of the Secret Habit Podcast, Shawn Bonneteau sits down with Tony and Lisa DeLorenzo of One Extraordinary Marriage to explore what intimacy actually looks like in a healthy Christian marriage.Tony and Lisa have been married for 26 years and have spent more than a decade helping couples understand marriage, communication, connection, and sexual intimacy. Their book, The Six Pillars of Intimacy, grew out of their own marriage and their desire to give couples a simple framework for strengthening their relationship as a whole.One of the biggest ideas in this conversation is that intimacy is much bigger than sex.Tony explains intimacy as closeness and connection, opening up a broader conversation about emotional, physical, financial, spiritual, recreational, and sexual intimacy.We also talk about how vague language can create confusion in marriage. Instead of simply saying, “I want more intimacy,” couples can learn to identify what they actually need: more emotional connection, better communication, more affection, or greater sexual intimacy. Clarity makes it easier to take action.In this episode, we explore:How to build more intimacy in your marriageThe difference between sex and intimacyWhy emotional intimacy mattersThe 6 Pillars of IntimacyHow communication creates connectionPractical ways to have better conversationsWhy intimacy is a learned skillHow couples can strengthen different areas of marriageWhere sexual intimacy fits into the bigger pictureTony and Lisa also share practical ideas couples can use immediately, including their “walk and talk” approach for creating meaningful conversations without making every serious conversation feel intimidating.One of the most encouraging parts of the conversation is hearing how small, consistent choices transformed their own marriage. Their message is simple: understand the principles, talk about them with your spouse, and then make them your own.About Tony and Lisa DeLorenzo:Tony and Lisa are the co-hosts of One Extraordinary Marriage, where they help couples make their relationship a priority and pursue greater intimacy in every area of marriage. They have been married for 26 years and have spent years teaching couples practical ways to strengthen communication, connection, and intimacy.Take the next steps with your recovery:*Take the free Heart Hunger Clarity QuizStart understanding what your heart may be hungry for beneath your pornography struggle, emotions, thoughts, and daily challenges.https://secrethabit.ca/quiz/*Book a Personal Recovery Plan SessionIf you know you need help, the Personal Recovery Plan is a focused conversation where we look at your story, patterns, Heart Hunger, and current season of life and build a practical strategy for moving forward.https://secrethabit.ca/personalrecoveryplan/*Download the Freedom Foundations Recovery GuideGo through Shawn's 14-episode teaching series covering pornography recovery, emotional maturity, the inner world, and lasting freedom.https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tilH7mi7A2WV9vW6kvSMW0Api8P_QWbs/view?usp=drive_linkDisclaimer:The Secret Habit Podcast is for educational and informational purposes only.

How do you continue to choose love when marriage brings disappointment, failure, and unmet expectations? And how can God's grace sustain a family through the valleys of loss, grief, and the refining seasons of life?For Mary Beth and Steven Curtis Chapman, more than 40 years of marriage have brought both extraordinary joy and unimaginable pain. As Steven's music has impacted generations of listeners, the Chapmans have also walked through deeply personal struggles—including the tragic loss of their adopted daughter, Maria. Together, they have discovered that a resilient marriage and family are not built on getting everything right, but on returning again and again to the grace and faithfulness of Jesus. In their book, "Still Here: Life Together on the Long Way Home", Mary Beth and Steven offer an honest look at the beauty, heartbreak, and refinement of a life spent walking together with Christ.In this episode, Davey sits down with Mary Beth and Steven to talk about the refinement and sanctification that comes through marriage, how they have navigated profound grief and loss as a family, and why God's grace and faithfulness are enough to sustain us through every season of life.If you've ever wondered how to keep choosing love through disappointment, walked through a season of loss, or needed God's grace to carry you through the hardest chapters of your story, this episode is for you.

When was the last time you jumped in a pile of leaves without taking a picture of it? And do you know what not doing this is doing to your nervous system? In this week's episode, Dr. Josh talks about what it means to go analog in a digital world. He covers why our screens have quietly become our masters, what half-attention teaches our kids, and the small two-degree shifts that bring us back to our own soul, our spouse, and our kids. You don't have to get rid of your devices. But you may need to get rid of your vices. Here are some highlights: Anything you can't fast from owns you.Connection comes from small two-degree shifts, not one radical decision.Kids notice your continous partial attention. When they say "look at me," they deserve all of you.Go analog: find what works for you (e.g. no dings, phone stays inside when you play, one screen-free room, one screen-free time of day.)Boredom isn't the enemy. It's where creativity starts.Use screens to create, not just consume.God often speaks in the silence, and our noise can drown Him out.Show Notes: Looking for one-on-one coaching with Dr. Josh to be famous at home? https://www.famousathome.com/individualcoachingMen, sign up for the Living Legacy Cohort.

This week on the Conversations That Matter podcast, Jon Harris covers a wide-ranging news roundup touching on the Southern Baptist Convention, Christian persecution, the Catholic Church, the Christian Nationalism debate, Steve Lawson, and what Jon calls the “true culture of death.”Jon begins with a personal update following a house fire in his wife's family, along with reflections on the recent Restoring Virtue Conference and upcoming speaking engagements.From there, he discusses Eric Erickson's criticism of figures on the Right and the importance of clearly defining neo-Nazi ideology rather than making broad accusations. He also examines recent controversy surrounding Candace Owens, a new Vatican document on interreligious dialogue, and claims surrounding the discovery of Noah's Ark in Turkey.The episode then turns to the Christian Nationalism debate, including J.D. Greer's arguments concerning church and state, religious liberty, and the role of Christianity in public life. Jon also discusses Southern Baptist figures Jason Little and Walter Strickland, including Strickland's comments concerning Nat Turner and liberation theology.Jon then addresses the changing Christian legal movement, Steve Lawson's recent book concerning his adultery and disqualification from ministry, and questions from listeners.The final portion of the podcast examines assisted suicide, declining marriage and family formation, adult toy consumption, gender distrust, juvenileization, higher education, student loans, Title IX, and policies under the Trump administration. Jon concludes by discussing comments from Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu concerning persecuted Christians in the Middle East and the broader decline of Christianity in the region.Listen through to the end for Jon's thoughts on why Christians should focus less on theoretical political battles and more on the practical challenges directly in front of them.00:00 Personal Update: House Fire and Restoring Virtue10:40 The News Roundup Begins11:45 Eric Erickson and the Debate Over Neo-Nazism22:40 Candace Owens and Online Political Commentary29:00 The Vatican, Vatican II, and Interreligious Dialogue38:05 The Search for Noah's Ark42:45 J.D.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible. Today is October 1st. A brand-new month is here, and we begin again, right where we are. Our readings today are Zechariah 10–12, Psalm 126, and Luke 14. Zechariah speaks of restoration. God gathers his scattered people and brings them home. Psalm 126 remembers another homecoming: "When the Lord brought back his exiles to Jerusalem, it was like a dream!" Mouths that had been filled with sorrow are filled with laughter. Those who planted in tears are harvesting with shouts of joy. And then Jesus brings us to a table. In Luke 14, Jesus tells a story about a great banquet. Invitations have gone out, but those who were originally invited are too preoccupied to come. They have property to inspect. Oxen to examine. Relationships and responsibilities demanding their attention. They have lives to manage. So the host does something surprising. He sends his servant into the streets and alleys and tells him to bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame. "Come. The banquet is ready." And there is still room. Maybe that's the good news for us today. There is still room. The kingdom of God isn't a prize for those who have managed to make something impressive of themselves. It's a banquet. And the invitation is gift. Come. Take your place. Receive the life God has given you in Christ. There is a place for you at the table. TODAY'S DEVOTION There's a Place for You at the Table There's a party going on. And everybody is invited. Jesus tells us about a man who prepares a great feast and sends out many invitations. Everything is ready. The table has been set. The food has been prepared. The invitation has gone out. "Come, the banquet is ready." But then the excuses begin. One person has purchased a field and needs to go inspect it. Another has bought some oxen and wants to try them out. Another has just gotten married. None of those things are bad. That's worth noticing. Fields aren't bad. Oxen aren't bad. Marriage certainly isn't bad. The problem isn't that these people are doing terrible things. The problem is that their lives have become so filled with their own interests that they cannot receive the invitation. They have things to manage. Things to protect. Things to accomplish. Things that feel more urgent than the banquet. And so they miss it. Then the host does something extraordinary. He says: Go out into the streets and alleys. Bring in the poor. The crippled. The blind. The lame. Bring them in. And they come. Why? Maybe because they don't have much to protect. They don't have impressive résumés to present. They don't have fields that need inspecting or investments that need managing. They simply hear the invitation. And they receive it. There's something beautiful about that. Because grace can only be received. You can't achieve an invitation. You can't earn a gift. You can only open your hands. And maybe that's why Jesus turns immediately afterward to the crowds following him and says some very difficult things. He tells them that following him means letting go. He even uses that shocking language about hating father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, even our own lives. I don't think Jesus is teaching us to despise ourselves or the people we love. That would contradict the very love he embodies and teaches. I think Jesus is exposing the things we cling to as sources of identity and security. He's saying: You can't receive the kingdom while insisting on possessing your life on your own terms. You can't follow me while demanding that everything remain under your control. You have to let go. And then Jesus says: "You cannot become my disciple without giving up everything you own." Maybe there's another way of hearing that. Give up everything you own, and you might discover freedom from everything that owns you. Because there is so much that can own us. Our need to be recognized. Our success. Our failures. Our past. Our shame. Our money. Our reputation. Our religious identity. Our need to be right. Our need to prove ourselves. Even our image of who we think we're supposed to be. These things can own us. But Jesus is setting us free. He invites us to the table. Come as you are. Come empty-handed. Come hungry. Come knowing that you need grace. Come knowing that life is gift. Psalm 126 says that when God's people came home from exile, it felt like a dream. They laughed again. They sang again. Those who had planted with tears harvested with joy. That's what grace feels like. Homecoming. And maybe that's what the banquet is too. It's coming home. It's discovering that the seat at the table wasn't something you had to earn. It was prepared for you. It's discovering that your identity isn't something you have to manufacture. Your life is hidden with Christ in God. It's discovering that the things you thought would save you never could. But Jesus can. So bring your empty hands. Bring your hunger. Bring the parts of your life that have been owned by fear, shame, ambition, or regret. Bring them to the table. There's a place for you. The feast is ready. The invitation has gone out. Come. And maybe as we sit at that table, we will discover that the things that once owned us don't have the same power anymore. Because we know where we belong. We belong with him. That's the prayer I have for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And that's the prayer I have for you. May we release what owns us. May we receive the invitation with gratitude. And may we discover who we truly are in Christ, seated at the table of grace. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL

Episode #1195 Does it feel like your wife is constantly correcting you? Maybe it's how you load the dishwasher, handle the laundry, take care of the house, or follow through on something you said you'd do. It can start to feel like she's controlling, nagging, or treating you more like an employee than her husband. In this episode of The TPM Show, Doug Holt and Erin Holt explore what may actually be happening underneath this dynamic. Erin explains how couples often enter marriage with completely different blueprints for how a household should operate. Those expectations usually come from what they saw growing up, but they're rarely discussed. Over time, unclear responsibilities, unfinished tasks, and unmet expectations can create resentment on both sides. Doug takes the conversation a step further by asking an important question: Was your wife always this controlling or critical? If the answer is no, then something changed. Doug and Erin discuss how withdrawing, avoiding difficult conversations, failing to follow through, and leaving one partner to manage the household can slowly change the relationship. When your wife feels like she has to continually remind you, manage you, or close the loop on unfinished responsibilities, trust and sexual polarity can suffer. The solution isn't controlling your wife or simply trying harder to keep her happy. It starts with self-leadership, clear agreements, honest communication, and consistently doing what you say you're going to do.

What happens when your life looks perfect from the outside, but deep down you know something isn't right?Mimi Ikonn had built a successful business, a marriage and a family, but after becoming a mother, something began to shift. She felt increasingly alone in motherhood and slowly started to disconnect from her relationship without fully understanding what was happening.In this deeply honest conversation, Mimi shares what ultimately led her to leave her 13-year marriage, why becoming a mother changed the dynamic of her relationship and the difficult decision to choose herself while raising a young daughter.Mimi and Zoe also explore ambition after motherhood, mum guilt, asking for help, perfectionism and why becoming a mother can force us to rethink who we are, what we value and what success actually means.At the heart of this conversation is a powerful reminder: choosing yourself doesn't mean choosing your children any less.

Has your marriage started to feel more like managing a household than being in a partnership?Between kids, work, schedules, mental load, and the never-ending business of family life, it's easy for your relationship to get pushed to the bottom of the list. And before you know it, you're having the same arguments over and over—or barely connecting at all.In this episode, I'm talking with marriage coach and mom of three Michelle Purta about how relationships change after kids, why couples get stuck in frustrating communication patterns, and what you can do to start feeling like a team again.Michelle shares why the thing you're arguing about often isn't the real issue, how our reactions can create a predictable “dance” with our partner, and why changing your own part of the pattern can shift the relationship—even if your partner isn't ready to do the work with you yet.We talk about:Why so many couples unintentionally put their marriage on the back burner after kidsHow to recognize the patterns underneath your recurring argumentsWhy escalating and withdrawing can keep couples stuckThe role personal accountability plays in better communicationWhat you can do when your partner isn't interested in coaching or therapyHow to know when it might be time to get outside supportOne simple question you can ask yourself today to start changing the way you communicateMichelle is a marriage coach, mom of three, and host of The Marriage and Motherhood Podcast. She helps couples move from reactive patterns to intentional partnership so they can feel more connected, supported, and like an “us” again while raising kids.If you've ever thought, Why do we keep having the same argument? or wondered how to feel like partners instead of roommates, this conversation is for you.Text us your feedback or questions!Stay connected!Join us in The Supermom Society!

The Garden of Eden is not a children's story, it's a blueprint for how reality works. We keep digging into Genesis 2 and follow the text from God's seventh day rest into the close-up view of humanity's creation. Along the way we talk about why Sabbath is set apart, why rest is a gift, and why our modern pace often turns “days off” into more grind. We also get into the shift from Elohim to Yahweh Elohim and why God's covenant name shows up right as He forms mankind.Then we slow down in Eden. Adam is formed from dust and God breathes life into him, a picture that holds together human weakness and human worth. We tackle the big question people always ask about the tree of the knowledge of good and evil: why put it there at all? Our answer centers on authority and boundaries, not “bad fruit” but the deeper issue of who gets to define good and evil. That theme reaches into everything from parenting and discipline to the way we talk about freedom, license, and what it means to flourish inside God's good limits.We finish with Genesis 2 on marriage and one flesh, why work exists before the fall, what it means to be naked and unashamed, and a quick but spicy detour into when angels may have been created. If you've ever wanted a grounded Genesis 2 explanation that connects theology to real life, this one is for you.

Rav drops two remarkably precise descriptions of Rabbinic marriage:חרשת — קנויה ומשויירת.קטנה — קנויה ואינה קנויה.They sound almost identical. They're not.The Aruch HaShulchan explains that the קטנה may represent an all-or-nothing marriage: if she performs מיאון, the kinyan can disappear entirely; if she does not, it can emerge as a complete Rabbinic kinyan.The Rogatchover then sharpens the other side. A חרשת isn't “maybe married.” Her marriage is real — but משויירת. Something is actually missing from what Chazal created.So what exactly are Rav's two categories? A definite but incomplete marriage versus a marriage whose very status remains open.Two words in Rav — משויירת and אינה קנויה — reveal two fundamentally different ways that a דרבנן marriage can be imperfect.

This episode is built around one uncomfortable question, if two people genuinely love each other, is that enough to build a life together? You dig into the difference between love, chemistry, compromise, and true compatibility, especially when couples discover that their visions for the future simply do not align. The conversation explores the major compatibility issues people often avoid early in dating, including money, children, religion, sex, lifestyle, ambition, substance use, where to live, and family involvement. The central idea is that love can be completely real while two people still want lives that cannot peacefully coexist. You also challenge listeners to stop asking only, “Do we love each other?” and start asking what they are actually building together. This episode examines resentment, sacrifice, boundaries, relationship expectations, sexual compatibility, communication, shared values, and the danger of giving up so much of yourself that you eventually disappear inside the relationship. Whether you are single, dating, engaged, or already married, this conversation will help you identify the questions couples need to ask before resentment replaces connection, and determine whether your compromises are creating a shared life or slowly costing one of you the life you wanted.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

On January 24, 2023, in Duxbury, Massachusetts, labor-and-delivery nurse Lindsay Clancy strangled her three children—Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and eight-month-old Callan—then jumped from a second-story window. She survived, paralyzed. Her husband, Patrick, came home from errands she had sent him on and found the house silent. Clancy has never denied killing her children.The fight in court was over why. Her defense said she was in the grip of postpartum psychosis: delusions, a voice telling her she had no choice, and a mind so broken she could not form criminal intent. Prosecutors said the day was planned. She had taken the kids to the doctor, played with them in the snow, gotten her husband out of the house, and—they argued—knew exactly what she was doing. The 2026 trial in Plymouth lasted weeks. Patrick Clancy, who had once asked the public to see “the real Lindsay,” took the stand for the state. Jurors heard the 911 call, hospital statements, medication history, and dueling psychiatric experts. After seven days of deliberations they could not agree. Eleven jurors were prepared to find her not criminally responsible. One holdout, Michael Desronvil, said he had no doubt she acted deliberately. The judge declared a mistrial Content warning: This episode discusses the deaths of young children, suicide attempt, and severe mental illness.

The Greenbrier Ghost is the name given to Elva Zona Heaster Shue, a young bride murdered in Greenbrier County, West Virginia, in January 1897. After only a few months of marriage to blacksmith Edward “Trout” Shue, Zona was found dead in their home. A local doctor called it heart disease. She was buried the next day at what is now Soule Chapel Methodist Cemetery near Smoot. Her husband had dressed the body, packed her neck in a high collar and scarf, and discouraged a full examination. Zona's mother, Mary Jane Heaster, refused that story. She later testified that her daughter's spirit came to her bedside four nights in a row and described how Trout Shue had flown into a rage and broken her neck. Mary Jane took that account to the prosecutor. Zona was exhumed. The autopsy found the neck dislocated between the first and second vertebrae, the windpipe crushed, and finger marks on the throat. Edward Shue was tried in Lewisburg in the summer of 1897. The jury convicted him of first-degree murder. He was sent to the West Virginia Penitentiary at Moundsville and died there in 1900. A state historic marker still stands near I-64: the only widely cited American case in which a spirit's reported words helped open a murder investigation that ended in a conviction. On this episode of Hitched 2 Homicide, Kris and Rob go through the marriage, the scene, the inquest, the courtroom, and the folklore that grew up around it — without losing Zona Heaster Shue inside the ghost story.

What if the goal of fitness wasn't to get better at fitness - but to build a body capable of saying yes to more of life?In this episode of the ALLSMITH Podcast, Bryce Smith sits down with Juliet Starrett, co-founder of The Ready State, co-author of Built to Move, former professional whitewater paddler, attorney, entrepreneur, and former CrossFit Games athlete. Juliet and Bryce explore what health, fitness, and longevity look like when you strip away the noise, extremes, and increasingly complicated world of modern wellness. They discuss why exercise should create freedom outside the gym, the problem with turning wellness into an identity, why simple health practices still matter, and how physical capacity allows us to keep pursuing adventure, relationships,and meaningful experiences as we age. Juliet describes the goal as building a body that can say yes to adventure. The conversation goes far beyond training. Bryce and Juliet unpack youth sports and the loss of free play, raising resilient kids, marriage and evolving alongside your partner, entrepreneurship, authentic content versus performativeculture, the limitations of biohacking, community, modern medicine, aging, and why two seemingly opposing ideas canoften be true at the same time.Juliet also shares the story of her 77-year-old father joining her family on a 16-day Grand Canyon trip - and how hisability to participate helped shape the philosophy behind Built to Move. This is a conversation about creating health that actually serves your life: the ability to move, adapt, explore, connect,and continue saying yes to the people and experiences that matter.

What happens when the person you love most is also the person who can trigger your deepest wounds? In this episode of Sex and the Psyche, Dr. Jenni Skyler and Daniel Lebowitz sit down with relationship coaches and married couple Tarah and EJ Kerwin for a refreshingly honest conversation about love, marriage, parenting, sex, and what it really takes to stay connected when life gets hard. Tarah and EJ are therapists and relationship coaches who have built their careers helping couples reconnect, but their own marriage was tested in ways they never expected and found themselves overwhelmed by exhaustion, parenting, resentment, and a level of stress that challenged everything they thought they knew about relationships. Their experience eventually led them to develop a deeper understanding of intimacy and the realization that sexual disconnection is often about much more than sex. They talk about emotional safety, mismatched desire, the impact of parenthood on sexuality, and why couples need to be able to talk about intimacy without turning sex into a weapon, obligation, or measure of love. The conversation also explores one of the most powerful ideas in their work: our partners can become mirrors for the parts of ourselves we don't always want to see. Instead of asking, “Why is my partner doing this to me?” Tarah and EJ learned to ask, “What is this relationship bringing up in me?” From attachment wounds and childhood experiences to anger, defensiveness, abandonment, and the need to feel safe, this episode gets real about the personal work that can transform a relationship. It's a conversation about what happens when we stop trying to fix our partner and start becoming curious about ourselves, and how taking responsibility for our own patterns can actually create more freedom, intimacy, and choice within a relationship. If you've ever wondered where the connection went, struggled with mismatched sexual desire, felt like parenting changed your marriage, or found yourself repeatedly triggered by the person you love most, this episode offers plenty to think about- and plenty of reasons to keep doing the work. Because sometimes, the person who knows how to push your buttons is also the person who can help you discover what those buttons are connected to.

Ep. 124: Porn, Marriage, Singleness, & Celibacy with Matt Dobschuetz   LISTENER DISCRETION ADVISED: DON'T LISTEN WITH KIDS AROUND Matt Dobschuetz is the host of Porn Free Radio, the top-rated podcast for motivated guys who want to quit looking at porn. His hope-filled approach to a subject many have trouble talking about has inspired a global audience of men to take action and transform their lives. He is the author of the 2022 book, Porn Free: Becoming the Type of Man That Does Not Look at Porn. From his home in suburban Chicago, Matt podcasts and runs a professional coaching practice. He is happily married to his wife, Janice, whom he has been friends with since college. Together, they have two sons in college. Matt is a diehard Chicago Bears fan, a coffee enthusiast, and a lover of old-school hip hop.  To learn more about Matt, his coaching, and his Rev Groups, visit https://recoveredman.com.   Resources shared:    Assessing Problematic Porn Use w/ Bill Herring https://recoveredman.com/311-assessing-problematic-porn-use-w-bill-herring/ In recovery circles we often use labels rather than descriptions. Words like sex addict or porn addiction are hastily applied or adopted. But often we miss gaining a greater understanding of ourselves and the truth of our situation. Bill Herring, LCSW, CSAT joins Porn Free Radio to share his framework for assessing problematic sexuality. It can easily be used to assess problematic porn use. Bill's common sense framework looks at 5 categories and uses 5 questions to assess problematic sexual behaviors. Bill's Questions: Are you keeping your promises? (Commitments) Are you OKAY with what you are doing? (Values) Are you in control of yourself? (Control) Is everything okay? (Consequence) Are you protecting everyone? (Responsibility)     ---- 10 Traits of the Mature Celibate   The former Catholic priest and psychotherapist A. W. Richard Sipe has spent the bulk of his career (approximately four decades) studying the practice of celibacy in Roman Catholic contexts, and he argues that genuine celibacy is indeed viable and healthy for those who attain it. But he believes it must be pursued. A large number of vowed clergy do live lives of disciplined sexual abstinence, according to Sipe's major work Celibacy in Crisis, but what he refers to (unhelpfully) as the “achievement” of celibacy—in which the major developmental crises have been weathered and the celibate state has been embraced and is, for all purposes, irreversible—is more rare, according to Sipe. He thinks this mature state of “attained” celibacy is virtually always characterized by at least ten traits:  first, by work (the productive use of time and energy); second, by prayer (an active interior life lived in the presence of God);  third, by community (“people to whom [the celibate is] committed and people on whom they can rely”); fourth, by service (some form of self-giving that takes one beyond one's own sphere);  fifth, by an awareness of one's physical needs and a willingness to fulfill one's lawful hungers with gentleness and self-care;  sixth, by balance in the rhythms of one's lifestyle;  seventh, by security in one's relational and communal commitments (“all celibate achievers had someone to whom they felt that they had confided the essence of themselves”);  eighth, by order in one's daily and seasonal life;  ninth, by learning and ongoing curiosity about others and the world one inhabits; and  tenth and finally, by an appreciation of beauty.  The one who undertakes this kind of celibate life must become intimately familiar with his or her characteristic patterns of desire, temptation, longing, and weakness. 10 points from book: A.
