When Stacey first met me for her free consult, she was months out from a divorce and really struggling getting her feet on the ground. She was stuck in victim mentality and it was impacting the relationships with her children, herself, and everyone else. We started coaching one-on-one, and within 1 1/2 years, Stacy was on solid ground, had cleaned up her relationships with her children, and met and married a man who has to be her soul mate. Listen to Stacey share her story of growth and progress and finding love again in her 50s. Spoiler alert: she didn't always like me when we got off of a call. . . Thanks for listening!

Easter Sunday The Gospel John 20:1-18 Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the tomb. So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him." Then Peter and the other disciple set out and went toward the tomb. The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent down to look in and saw the linen wrappings lying there, but he did not go in. Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen wrappings lying there, and the cloth that had been on Jesus' head, not lying with the linen wrappings but rolled up in a place by itself. Then the other disciple, who reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; for as yet they did not understand the scripture, that he must rise from the dead. Then the disciples returned to their homes. But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb; and she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had been lying, one at the head and the other at the feet. They said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him." When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?" Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away." Jesus said to her, "Mary!" She turned and said to him in Hebrew, "Rabbouni!" (which means Teacher). Jesus said to her, "Do not hold on to me, because I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, `I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'" Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord"; and she told them that he had said these things to her.
Sermon for the Vigil of Easter on Luke 24:1-11.What first sounded like an idle tale and a bunch of nonsense to the apostles slowly became an undeniable certainty. Jesus died but lives. And now, because He lives, death would have no hold on them because it had no hold on Jesus.

In this episode, we're joined by Andrew Koperski (Hillsdale College, Ad Fontes) to explore one of the most debated and often misunderstood practices in the history of Christianity: baptism. Drawing from his in-depth research, Andrew takes us through the earliest Christian sources—from Second Temple Judaism to Justin Martyr, and from household baptisms to the evolving liturgical traditions of the early church. We discuss: Did the earliest Christians baptize infants or only professing believers? How did the theology of the church fathers evolve and adapt to the shifting environment of the Roman Empire? What role does sociology play in the development of infant baptism? Why modern categories of “credobaptist” and “paedobaptist” may not neatly map onto the early church.

He later founded Voice of the Martyrs, but son Michael does NOT recommend VOM’s ministry today.

[00:30] Democrats' Last Stand (30 minutes) Democrats are bent on defending an MS-13 gangbanger who was deported to El Salvador.

These three sisters lived in Aquilea. When the Emperor Diocletian was visiting there, he learned that they were Christians and had them brought to him. When they would not deny Christ, they were cast into prison, then handed over to a general named Dulcitius for torture. Dulcitius conceived a passion for the sisters, and entered the prison planning to defile them; but when he tried to enter, he was deprived of his reason and fell upon the dirty pots at the entrance, embracing and kissing them until he was completely black with soot. Hearing of this, the Emperor appointed another general to torment the sisters. After terrible tortures Agape and Chionia were burned, but the sadistic general, knowing her pledge of virginity to the Lord, ordered Irene to be put in a brothel. By God's providence she was shot with an arrow before she could be forced to endure this fate. So ends the version given in the Great Horologion. The Prologue gives a slightly different version: When Irene was being led to the brothel, an angel turned the soldiers back and led Irene to the top of a high hill. The next day the general came with his soldiers to capture her, but were unable to climb it. The general then ordered that Irene be shot with arrows. St Anastasia, a prophetess in that town, gathered the bodies of all three sisters and gave them burial.
What if the chaos of your early life wasn't a mistake—but a necessary part of your path to leadership? In this episode, Nicole unpacks the powerful and complex energy of the 3/6 profile in Human Design. Known for its tension between messy experimentation and visionary wisdom, the 3/6 carries a life story that unfolds in distinct stages—and understanding them could change how you view your past and your purpose. Nicole explains how the 3/6 experiences a triple trial-and-error phase in their early years, followed by a reflective retreat in midlife, and ultimately steps into a role model identity. She shares how this transformation can feel turbulent, but is essential to living out your design. And if you've ever felt like your “mistakes” were actually lessons in disguise, this will resonate deeply. You'll also hear how this profile differs from others, like the 3/5 or 4/6, and why embracing both the messy and masterful sides of yourself is key. Nicole brings this to life with examples of famous 3/6s, showing how their success was born through bold choices and lived experience—not perfection. If you're a 3/6 or you work closely with one, this episode offers a new way to see the journey—not as broken, but as beautifully built for growth.

n the kingdom of Wallachia (in modern-day Romania) the Goths undertook a brutal persecution of Christians. A Gothic prince came to the village of Buzau and asked the villagers if any Christians lived there. They swore to him that there were none. At this, Sabbas came before the Prince and said 'Let no one swear an oath on my behalf. I am a Christian.' Touched by his courage, the prince let Sabbas go, saying 'This one can do neither harm nor good.' The following year a priest named Sansal came to the village and celebrated Pascha with Sabbas (who was truly the only Christian there). When the pagans heard of this, they attacked Sabbas' house and seized both men. They dragged Sabbas naked through thorns, then tied both him and Sansal to trees and tried to make them eat meat offered to idols. Neither man would touch the sacrifices. The prince then sentenced Sabbas to death and gave him over to the soldiers. Sabbas walked to the place of execution joyfully, singing and praising God. Seeing his goodness, the soldiers tried to free him on the way, but Sabbas refused, telling them that it was their duty to carry out the prince's command. The soldiers took him to a river, tied a rock to his neck and cast him into the waters, where he gave back his soul to God. Some Christians later recovered his body and gave it honorable burial. The saint was 31 years old at the time of his martyrdom. In the reign of the Emperor Valens, the Greek commander Ionnios Soranos found the Saint's body during a war against the Goths, and took it to Cappadocia.
Why are Democrats going to the mat for a deported MS-13 gang member? In this explosive breakdown, the narrative shifts from a single immigration case to a sprawling theory of political power, media manipulation, and a “shadow electorate” built on illegal immigration. From secret flights and voter fraud claims to cartel-linked youth violence and border militarization, this segment pulls no punches. Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia just a "father from Maryland"—or a symbol of something much bigger? The media says one thing, the courts say another—and the war for America's future rages on.
What do Kate Winslet, Bruce Springsteen, and Sara Blakely have in common? They all embody the bold, complex energy of the 3/5 profile in Human Design. In this episode, Nicole explores what it really means to carry the “Martyr/Heretic” archetype—and why that label doesn't even come close to describing the true power behind this profile. Nicole breaks down the role of trial and error in the 3/5's path, the impact of the unconscious projection field, and why many 3/5s stop short of reaching their full potential. Nicole shares personal insights from working with 3/5s—including her own husband—and the surprising way these individuals are wired to lead. Nicole also peels back the curtain on the emotional terrain of the 3/5 journey: the fear of failure, the conditioning from childhood, and the resilience that gets built through lived experience. And if you've ever questioned whether you're “doing it wrong” because things don't seem to stick, you'll walk away with clarity, permission, and maybe even a little fire to go break a few things—on purpose. Whether you're a 3/5 or simply curious about how this profile plays out in real life, this episode will open your eyes to the power of owning your path—even when it's messy.

They were jailers in the Roman prison that held Sts Peter and Paul, and came to faith in Christ through the witness of the two holy Apostles. After receiving baptism, Processus and Martinian released the saints from prison. As the Apostles were leaving Rome, the Lord appeared to Peter on the Appian way. When Peter asked him where he was going, he replied, 'To Rome, to be crucified once again.' Abashed, the Apostles returned to Rome to face their martyrdom. Processus and Martinian were beheaded along with St Paul.

These African Christians suffered during the persecution of the Church by the emperor Decius, during which a great many Christians denied the faith rather than suffer. These faithful few boldly upheld the Faith and, after many torments, were condemned to death by beheading. The went to their execution singing psalms and hymns of thanksgiving, and received the crown of martyrdom in 250. In the early centuries of the Church, North Africa, especially the region of Carthage, was one of the centers of the Christian Faith, comparable to Asia Minor.

Marine Le Pen er rasende. Hun forlader retssalen, før den endelige dom falder uden et ord til pressen, der er mødt talstærkt op. Vejen til Élysée-palæet og præsidentposten er med ét blevet besværliggjort for den populære højrefløjspolitiker. I sidste uge faldt en længe ventet dom, og Marine Le Pen er dømt skyldig i alvorlig fusk med EU- midler. Med dommen følger ikke alene fængselsstraf og en betragtelig bøde. Den franske højrefløjsdronnning er også udelukket fra alle politiske embeder i fem år. Diskussionen brøler i Frankrig, hvor flere anklager domstolen for at sætte sig over folket og udstede en politisk dom, selvom juraen er klar på området. I dagens Genstart fortæller DR's internationale korrespondent Stephanie Surrugue, hvad dommen kan betyde for tilliden til det franske demokrati. Vært: Anna Ingrisch.

This holy martyr was a married man, living in Cappadocia. During the reign of Julian the Apostate he, along with some other Christians, destroyed the pagan temple to the goddess Fortuna. (The Prologue says that it was his wedding day). For this he and his companions were cruelly tortured, then beheaded. At that time St Basil the Great governed the Church in that part of Cappadocia. When the apostate Emperor, going to fight the Persians, came to the town in which Eupsychius was martyred, St Basil went to meet him, bringing three barley loaves as a sign of honor and welcome. The Emperor, ever hostile to Christians, ordered that the bishop be given a fistful of hay in return. Saint Basil said to the Emperor 'You ridicule us now, O King; we bring you bread, by which we are fed, and you give us miserable food that you, with all your power, are unable to turn into nourishment for men.' The Emperor perished in the Persian campaign.

In today's episode, Regan and Chesko dive into the uneven expectations placed on women in relationships. From religious advice about opposite-sex friendships to shocking stories about exes demanding care after betrayal, they explore why women are expected to be martyrs while men face minimal accountability. They discuss the painful double standards in caregiving (with women 624% less likely to leave sick partners than men), why "putting boundaries" around a partner is problematic, and the unfair blame women receive when relationships fail.

The Fellowship is pleased to present our discussion of The Nutty Professor (1963) as our April teaser for Horror Month. Jerry Lewis' best movie? Opinions may vary. Plus our usual crazy talk, geek news, and tangents
How is God at work amid ongoing fighting since Russia's invasion of Ukraine? Eric Mock, from the Slavic Gospel Association, wants to remind us that the gospel is going forth as Christians stay faithful to serve the Lord in spite of difficulties and hardship. He'll share stories of Ukrainian pastors who kept up their ministries, even with Russian tanks outside their homes. The Slavic Gospel Association (SGA) started in 1934, built on a foundation of prayer with a heart to reach those behind the Iron Curtain with the gospel. One of the ministry's early effort was a dictation-speed recitation of the Bible broadcast over shortwave radio—allowing believers in Russia and other Soviet nations to create their own hand-written Bibles. (The Voice of the Martyrs has a similar broadcast reaching into North Korea today.) Hear more about SGA's history and how the Lord brought Eric to serve there in 2002 to support local churches and other ministries in 13 countries. He will describe how the fall of the Iron Curtain led to revival but then how consumerism later lessened revival fires. Eric challenges all of us to see the examples of our brothers and sisters in Ukraine who are ministering and risking their lives for the sake of the gospel. Pray that the gospel would continue to go forth in Russia, Ukraine and other nations in the region, and that Christians would stay faithful through hardship.
