Season 40: America's 250th Anniversary -- 50 states, 25 double-feature episodes. This is Episode 13, coveringRhode Island and North Dakota with two true crime cases from the 1880s and 1890s that circle the samequestion: who do you believe when the dead cannot speak?October 1885. A wealthy Black businessman in Newport, Rhode Island, is found dead at his kitchen table -- twogunshot wounds, unchewed bread still in his mouth. The city calls it suicide before the day is over. Eight yearslater, a hired hand in North Dakota murders six members of the family that trusted him, and a fifteen-year-oldgirl walks barefoot to town to report it.Both killers were inside the circle. Both were trusted. Both destroyed the people who let them in. This episodeexamines what trust costs in a country still deciding which lives deserve investigation and which can be dismissedwith a shrug from the mayor's office.The VictimsBenjamin J. Burton was the wealthiest Black businessman in Rhode Island when he was killed in October 1885.He had arrived in Newport around 1845 from Connecticut and spent four decades building a baggage transferempire -- the Original Express and the Bellevue Avenue Express Line -- moving trunks between the wharvesand the Gilded Age mansions. Burton was a civil rights organizer who helped desegregate Rhode Island's publicschools in 1866, working alongside Isaac Rice and George T. Downing. He was fifty-nine years old. He had beeneating breakfast when he was shot.Daniel and Barbara Kreider were a Mennonite farming family who had relocated from Lancaster County, Penn-sylvania, to a homestead southeast of Cando, North Dakota. Daniel was born in 1856; Barbara came from oneof Lancaster County's most established Mennonite families -- the Rissers, whose meeting house had been incontinuous operation since the 1700s. By summer 1893, they had eight children. Four of those children -- Bernice,thirteen; Murbey, eleven; Mary, nine; and David, seven -- were killed alongside their parents on the morning ofJuly 7, 1893.The CrimesIn Newport, Burton's son-in-law Allen Dorsey -- a medical student at the University of Pennsylvania, one year fromfinishing his degree -- shot Burton at 63 Levin Street on October 6, 1885. The wound sequence was medicallydamning: a shot to the head first, a shot to the heart second. No powder burns. Unchewed bread in the victim'smouth. The city ruled it suicide anyway. The coroner signed off. The mayor ridiculed the idea of murder.In North Dakota, Albert Bomberger -- a twenty-two-year-old hired hand who had lived with the Kreider family forfive years -- killed six family members with a shotgun in thirty minutes after the eldest daughter, Annie, rejectedhis advances and her father told him to leave. After the killings, Bomberger forced fifteen-year-old Annie to cookhis breakfast while the bodies lay in the rooms around her. He ate, ransacked the house, beat Annie with a rope,and fled toward Canada on a stolen pony.The InvestigationIn the Burton case, Newport's official investigation went nowhere. The community Burton had spent forty yearsbuilding ran a parallel investigation through church and civic networks. Seven weeks later, Burton's youngerdaughter Emmie came forward and named Allen Dorsey as the killer and Maria Dorsey as complicit. Her testimonymade prosecution possible. The trial began in late June 1886. Allen and Maria Dorsey were convicted andsentenced to life. Emmie was also convicted -- she had served as lookout -- and died of consumption in the prisoninfirmary within six months. In June 1887, the Burton case was presented to the American Medical Associationat their 38th Annual Meeting as an example of physical evidence clearly indicating murder that official authoritychose to read otherwise.Annie Kreider walked to Cando barefoot. No shoes, no horse, no telephone. Her testimony was the entirefoundation of the prosecution. Bomberger was captured at Deloraine, Manitoba, three days later. The threat oflynching was immediate -- the Grand Forks County sheriff moved Bomberger to a more secure jail. On November21, 1893, Bomberger was arraigned. Two days later, he was sentenced to death. The entire court proceedinglasted fifteen minutes. He was hanged on January 19, 1894 -- the first legal execution in North Dakota history.Historical ContextThese two historical murder cases sit at the edges of American justice in the Gilded Age. In Rhode Island, thesystem initially failed a Black man whose physical evidence was dismissed by the same city he had served fordecades. In North Dakota, a state just four years old produced a fifteen-minute guilty plea and a death sentencein two days -- justice delivered under the shadow of a lynch mob. Allen Dorsey was pardoned in 1912, moved toNew York City, worked as a waiter, and died in 1918. Annie Kreider lived until 1960, carrying that July morning forsixty-seven years.Our Sponsors:* Check out Kensington Publishing: https://www.kensingtonbooks.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

"Have the cojones to focus. Be willing to take some things off the table in order to double and triple down on the things that really work. If you want to grow a tree full of fruit, you've got to prune some of those branches." — Mark Organ Mark Organ has done what very few founders ever manage once, let alone twice. He co-founded Eloqua, built it into the defining marketing automation platform of its era, and watched Oracle acquire it for approximately $1 billion. Then he did it again with Influitive. The strategy behind both exits is not what most entrepreneurs expect — and that's exactly why it's worth paying close attention. The framework at the centre of this conversation is what Mark calls the "bullseye of the bullseye": the discipline of going so narrow on your target customer, your geography, and your use cases that repeatability becomes almost inevitable. At Eloqua, that meant limiting sales outreach to just two U.S. cities in the early days. At Influitive, it meant owning six of the top nine cybersecurity identity management companies before expanding anywhere else. Mark also walks through how he applied the exact same framework to a Mennonite farmer's compost side business — and it worked there too. The deeper principle underneath the targeting work is customer intimacy: knowing your market better than any competitor is willing to. Mark traces this to Scott Cook of Intuit, who beat Microsoft in its prime not through technology but by sitting at kitchen tables watching ordinary people manage their finances. That level of understanding, Mark argues, is what makes a founder's instincts reliable — and what separates the companies that scale from the ones that plateau. Mark closes with three concrete steps any entrepreneur can put to work — and the third one, on building a business that doesn't cost you your health and relationships, may be the one most founders need to hear. Expert Action Steps: 1. Study your target customer in more depth than your competitors are willing to. Understand how they think about the problem you solve — their mental models, motivations, and environment. That knowledge compounds into every advantage you build. 2. Have the courage to cut. Take things off the table — markets, use cases, features — so your energy concentrates where it matters most. A tree produces more fruit when you prune the branches. 3. Build a business that lets you keep the rest of your life intact. Scaling exists partly so you can sustain yourself — your health, your relationships, your presence. The people around you, customers and team alike, respond to a leader who looks genuinely well.

Join Rob McConnell as he welcomes Anna Dee Olson, author, speaker and former member of an Amish community, for an extraordinarily personal look inside a way of life that remains mysterious to many outsiders. Anna is the author of Growing Up Amish: Insider Secrets from One Woman's Inspirational Journey, in which she recounts the challenges of being raised by Amish parents and ultimately making the life-changing decision to leave the community and build an entirely different future for herself. Anna says the strict expectations of her upbringing became increasingly difficult for her during her teenage years. For approximately four years, she struggled with the decision between remaining within the only culture she had ever known and pursuing the life she wanted outside it. At 24 years old, she finally left the Amish lifestyle, knowing that her decision could profoundly affect her relationships with family and community. She has subsequently spoken publicly about subjects including shunning, Rumspringa, Amish family values, education, religion and the difficulties of adapting to mainstream American society. Leaving meant learning many things most people outside an insular religious community take for granted. Within a year, Anna earned her high-school equivalency diploma, and in 1993 she began pursuing her dream of attending college, eventually earning an Associate of Applied Science degree. She later became an author and public speaker, using her own experiences to help audiences understand Amish culture while discussing forgiveness, personal choice, perseverance and the difficult process of creating a new identity without completely erasing the past. Minnesota's Lake Agassiz Regional Library later hosted a series of her presentations specifically designed to increase public understanding of Amish culture. Join Rob McConnell and Anna Dee Olson on The 'X' Zone Radio Show for an intimate conversation about Amish traditions, faith, family, rules, Rumspringa, shunning and the enormous courage required to leave the only world you've ever known. What happens when personal freedom collides with religious and family expectations? What misconceptions do outsiders have about Amish life? And when leaving your community could mean losing relationships with the people closest to you, how high a price are you willing to pay for the freedom to choose your own path?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all CANCOM/XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

EPISODE 768 - Maria Giesbrecht - A Little Feral, a collection of poems written several years after leaving a conservative Mennonite familyIn this episode, author guest Maria Giesbrecht opens up about the deeply personal journey behind her poetry collection and the complicated path that led her toward becoming a writer. She reflects on the surreal experience of stepping into a live radio interview with little time to prepare, sharing the vulnerability that comes with putting creative work into the world and wondering how it will be received. What emerges throughout the conversation is an honest look at fear, courage, and the emotional weight of telling the truth through art.Maria traces her love of writing back to high school, where an encouraging creative writing teacher helped her realize that writing could exist beyond assignments and grades. Although she later pursued accounting, poetry stayed beside her through difficult seasons of life and eventually became the foundation for publication. She speaks candidly about rejection in the literary world, explaining that persistence matters more than perfection and that rejection is often proof that a writer is actively pursuing their calling.The conversation also explores Maria's upbringing in a Mennonite community after immigrating from Mexico to Canada as a child. She shares the tension of growing up between cultures, trying to fit in while carrying traditions and experiences that felt different from those around her. Reading became a refuge during those years, and books helped her discover the power stories have to comfort, connect, and heal.Maria speaks thoughtfully about faith, rebellion, identity, and the complicated process of finding her own voice outside the structures she grew up in. Rather than rejecting her past entirely, she reflects on learning to hold both beauty and pain together. That same philosophy shapes her writing, where she aims to portray family, spirituality, and relationships with honesty and generosity instead of reducing people to heroes or villains.Throughout the episode, Maria encourages listeners to trust their inner desires and give themselves permission to pursue a more honest version of life. She reminds aspiring writers and creatives that consistency matters, community matters, and that finding people who truly understand your journey can make all the difference.Key takeaway: The path toward creativity, identity, and personal freedom is rarely straightforward, but growth begins when we stop silencing ourselves and start trusting the deeper truths we carry within.https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/kitchener-waterloo/elmira-poet-s-new-book-inspired-by-her-journey-leaving-mennonite-community-9.7175804https://mariagiesbrecht.com/In A Little Feral, Maria Giesbrecht delivers a debut collection that navigates faith, family, and personal resurrection through a voice at once wild, intimate, and quietly rebellious. Written in the aftermath of leaving a conservative Mennonite upbringing, these poems chart a parallel journey of breaking away— from father, from God, from the confines of obedience. Giesbrecht' s language is lyrical and unflinching, a cadence that moves between tenderness and defiance.___Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

This Straight Bible / Nephilim Death Squad Q&A dives into some of the biggest questions surrounding spiritual warfare, demons, the Mark of the Beast, the Seal of God, principalities, biblical prophecy, Christian traditions, and what it means to be born again through Jesus Christ.The conversation begins with Numbers 21:14 and the mysterious “Book of the Wars of the Lord” before moving into a practical discussion about how Christian parents can answer children who ask, “How do I know God is real?” The crew discusses faith, parenting, discipleship, and why forcing belief is different from demonstrating a genuine walk with Christ.From there, the episode explores why the New Testament feels different after the resurrection and ascension of Jesus, the transition into Acts, the early church, and the spread of the Gospel beyond Israel.The supernatural questions get even deeper: Were people in Jesus' time more capable of perceiving demons and the spiritual realm? Can physical sensations accompany spiritual experiences? The discussion also examines Revelation 7 and Revelation 13, comparing the Seal of God and the Mark of the Beast, along with possible connections to Old Testament markings, Ezekiel, tefillin, and biblical commands involving the forehead and hand.Other major topics include public versus private prayer, God hardening Pharaoh's heart, lying spirits, judgment, strong delusion, 1 Corinthians 11 and head coverings, Mennonite traditions, praying to Mary and the saints, and whether Catholic and Orthodox intercession practices align with Scripture.The episode also tackles Joshua, the tribe of Dan, Israel taking the Promised Land, priestly payments under the Mosaic covenant, and the Deuteronomy 32 worldview. That leads directly into the biblical concept of supernatural rulers over nations, the Prince of Persia, Prince of Greece, Daniel 10, Ephesians 6:12, principalities, powers, and territorial spiritual beings.Finally, the crew discusses whether someone delivered from addiction through Christ should still identify as an addict—or whether being born again fundamentally changes that identity.Share your thoughts in the comments: Which question deserves a full episode?► Subscribe for more Biblical analysis, Christian worldview discussions, and conspiracy research through a Biblical lens.Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and everywhere podcasts are available.00:00 Intro & Straight Bible Q&A03:44 Numbers 21:14 & The Book of the Wars of the Lord09:31 How Do We Teach Our Kids That God Is Real?22:37 Why the New Testament Feels Different After Jesus33:03 Could People See Demons More Clearly in Biblical Times?42:45 Best Ways to Annotate and Study Your Bible45:46 Planets, Stars, Biblical Signs & the Heavens50:08 Seal of God vs Mark of the Beast | Revelation 7 & 1358:35 Public Prayer vs Private Prayer61:38 Can Angels Atone for Sin?

Pete Schmitt was raised in an Old Colony Russian Mennonite community. At 16, he decided to leave the church. After getting involved in drugs and other destructive behaviors, Pete found himself in prison for accidentally taking another person's life. All throughout this time, he was ignoring God's attempts to get his attention. It was only after spending time in prison that Pete finally came back to Christianity and found healing for the pain and evil that had been controlling his life.Listen to Patrick Matthews' testimony: https://youtu.be/jmVmp5CCgHkThis is the 333rd episode of Anabaptist Perspectives, a podcast, blog, and YouTube channel that examines various aspects of conservative Anabaptist life and thought.Sign-up for our monthly email newsletter which contains new and featured content!Join us on Patreon or become a website partner to enjoy bonus content!Visit our YouTube channel or connect on Facebook.Read essays from our blog or listen to them on our podcast, Essays for King JesusSubscribe on your podcast provider of choiceSupport us or learn more at anabaptistperspectives.org.The views expressed by our guests are solely their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of Anabaptist Perspectives or Wellspring Mennonite Church.

Our guest is Coby Regehr, son of Carl Regehr (1919–1983)— a graphic designer, educator, and community builder who helped shape Chicago's visual identity.In this episode, Coby speaks with host Christian Solorzano about his father's life, work, and philosophy — from a Mennonite upbringing in Kansas to building a design practice in Chicago rooted in ethics, relationships, and an unrelenting drive to create. Coby shares what it was like to grow up inside that world — weekends spent in his father's studio, Summers at the Indiana Dunes alongside the designers who defined an era, and a father who was up at four every morning with Coltrane on the stereo.The conversation explores Carl's role in reframing Chicago's image through the 1963 Chicago magazine — his uncompromising ethics in business, his teaching philosophy at the University of Illinois, and his participation in the 1971 Aspen Design Conference.Coby also reflects on the boxes of journals, collages, and unfinished work he continues to discover — and what it means to be the keeper of a legacy still unfolding.Music by the band Eighties Slang.

Should willingness to kill be a requirement for U.S. citizenship? Girl Without a Country: The Untold Story of a Landmark Fight for U.S. Citizenship (Purdue University Press, 2026) by Rick Ramseyer tells the compelling, confounding story of Martha Graber—a Mennonite, registered nurse, and conscientious objector who in 1929 was twice denied citizenship because she refused to say she would take up arms to defend the United States. The unexpected denials, which came despite Martha's pledge to give her life for her adopted country, caught the attention of a diverse group of peace advocates, religious leaders, lawyers, and politicians, setting up a climactic third court appearance. Martha's nineteen-month fight for citizenship made national news, featuring dramatic testimony, historical insights, and interesting backstories that stretched from Alsace-Lorraine in western Europe to America's heartland. Elegantly written by Martha's maternal grandson with never-before-published details and closely connected with a controversial Supreme Court decision, Girl Without a Country surfaces an array of topical issues, ranging from immigration and naturalization to conscientious objection and patriotism. Perhaps most importantly, Martha's story considers what it truly means to be an American. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Fitz declares for the WNBA draft. They tear into the WNBA's controversy over protecting women's sports after Sophie Cunningham's comments, criticize coaching rhetoric about inclusion, and highlight responses from Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White declaring for the WNBA to expose perceived policy contradictions; Bob Costas is cited arguing “common sense is not transphobic.” Beer talk runs throughout, featuring Epic Brewing's Big Bad Baptist stouts (Gingerbread and Orange Twist) and Zul Beer Company's Betty's Blueberry Peach Cobbler sour.

We welcome a very special guest this episode—Nathan Dueck, Winnipeg-born author now calling Calgary home. Nathan has written poetry, tried unsuccessfully to win hearts with it, and has just released his latest book: a collection of self-deprecating anecdotes that may or may not be funny. He's cautiously optimistic.But before we get there, we have a crisis on our hands. Sean shaved his beard. The complaints are rolling in. The polls are not looking good. It may be the single greatest controversy in the show's history—and that's saying something.Nathan's Mennonite upbringing in Winkler opens up a fascinating conversation about cultural identity, language, religious heritage, and what it means to grow up inside a community so tight-knit you don't even realize it's unusual until you leave. It turns out Sean and Todd's Acadian Catholic roots have more in common with Nathan's experience than anyone expected—railroad tracks, basement drinking, and detention for speaking the wrong language included.From there the conversation takes some genuinely unexpected turns involving book covers, Netflix, water cooler culture, comic books, and one very important Spider-Man suit. Plus a deep dive into a guitarist so talented that Sean thinks his current gig is a waste of his abilities. And Prince.

American Folklore in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania's history reaches far beyond the founding of the United States. Long before Europeans arrived, the region was home to the Lenape, Susquehannock, Erie, and other Native peoples. Rivers such as the Delaware, Susquehanna, and Allegheny served as travel routes, hunting grounds, fishing areas, and centers of trade. Dutch, Swedish, Finnish, and English settlers later established communities in portions of the region. In 1681, King Charles II granted the land to William Penn, who planned a colony where Quakers and members of other religious groups could live with greater freedom. The colony eventually attracted German-speaking settlers, Mennonites, Amish families, Scots-Irish immigrants, Welsh Quakers, and people from many other backgrounds. Pennsylvania became the second state to ratify the United States Constitution on December 12, 1787. Its cities, farms, forests, mountains, mines, lakes, and battlefields have since produced an enormous collection of legends. Some Pennsylvania folklore grew from the dangers people faced. Sailors feared sudden storms on Lake Erie. Families remembered soldiers who never returned from war. Old burial grounds inspired stories about spirits guarding the dead. In other cases, a frightening tale was repeated so often that separating history from fiction became difficult. Here are several of Pennsylvania's best-known legends.

Terry Wolfe: Israel as Biblical Harlot Riding Imperial American Beast?

Terry Wolfe discusses his new book “Riding the Beast” on geopolitical prophecy, examining the theory that Jerusalem, rather than Rome or America, represents the “Whore of Babylon” described in the Bible. The author argues that modern Zionism and some of its activities such as the integration of Israel with the American military could fulfill ancient predictions of a transactional union between the “great prostitute” and “the beast.” He details how the U.S. functions as a modern replica of the Roman Republic, providing the structural power that supports this symbolic harlot. The dialogue explores the spiritual blindness of Israel, Noahide laws, and the transition to an aggressive technocratic imperialism. Ultimately, Wolfe suggests that this partnership will lead to a global persecution of Christians before a final divine restoration of the Jewish people.
