Investigative journalists and True Sunlight Podcast co-hosts Mandy  Matney and Liz Farrell — and attorney Eric Bland — are back at it, discussing the latest in crime, corruption and the courts.    In today's episode Mandy and Eric share an update in the Stephen Smith case, plus their stories from the very successful walk held over the weekend in Hampton, South Carolina, after the 10th anniversary of Stephen's death.  The event gathered over 120 people to walk in person and virtually raising over $12,000 for Stephen Smith's scholarship and investigation funds.  Seeing Sandy happy and meeting the new Agent in charge of Stephen's case is entirely encouraging.  Also on the show, we're looking at what went down last week in the Scott Spivey wrongful death case.  Plus Mandy and Liz ask Eric to explain South Carolina's citizens' arrest law, which is what Attorney General Alan Wilson's office used to as an argument against charging Weldon and Bradley.  And finally, Russell Laffitte and Alex Murdaugh will be celebrating a reunion this fall.

Dean Wegner is a former Army Ranger, a West Point graduate, and now the CEO and co-founder of Authentically American, an apparel brand rooted in purpose. But more than that, he's a husband, a dad of four, and someone who truly understands what it means to lead with heart. We started this episode by connecting over something very personal. As many of you are aware, my son is currently attending the U.S. Naval Academy. That journey has opened my eyes to a whole new level of respect and awareness regarding military service, patriotism, and what it means to serve something greater than oneself. So when a listener suggested Dean as a guest, the timing could not have been better. Dean shared how his leadership journey began long before building a business. It started at home, and it was shaped by the values he learned in the military, including putting others first, leading by example, and building character when no one is watching. He discussed what it means to transition from focusing on personal growth to genuinely supporting and developing the people you lead. We also explored his pivot from a corporate career to entrepreneurship. Like many of us, he faced moments of doubt and unexpected challenges, especially during the early days of the pandemic. But Dean's story is an excellent reminder that hard work, faith, and staying true to one's mission can carry you through even the most challenging seasons. If you've ever questioned whether leading with heart is compatible with ambition and business success, this episode will encourage you. Dean is proof that you can grow a brand, serve a cause, and stay grounded in your values.

72% of people who get up and go to work every day think “nobody cares about me”. That's a WHOLE LOT of hurting people that will never experience God's love. So, what if we just took God's love to them? What if there was a chaplain in the workplace that looks just like them, that meets them where they are; to just listen, pray and love them?  Workplace chaplains DO exist and are more and more common in today's workplaces! And THAT is the gospel!  Echoing Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 9, “When I am with those who are weak, I share their weakness, for I want to bring the weak to Christ. Yes, I try to find common ground with everyone, doing everything I can to save some. I do everything to spread the Good News and share in its blessings.”  So, we challenge you, look into finding a chaplain for your people and transform your workplace into a place where people are loved.

With a career that began in retail management and a decade spent as a touring musician, Michael brings a diverse background to his leadership role at one of the most celebrated aquariums in the country. His journey at the Tennessee Aquarium began as an admissions assistant manager and progressed to the executive team, overseeing guest experience across a sprawling, multi-building campus in Chattanooga. In this interview, Michael talks about starting with respect, connecting employees to the mission, and lessons from being a touring musician. Starting with Respect “You're never going to get in trouble for trying to do your job. If you are doing what in your mind is best for the guest… we can go back later, we can talk through that, we can make adjustments.” Respect is a foundational value for Michael, both in his personal leadership style and within the Tennessee Aquarium's culture. He shared how early experiences in management—starting at just 18—taught him the challenges of leading peers and the importance of transitioning from being a peer to being a leader. Over time, he distinguished between managing tasks and truly leading people. As a leader now, he empowers his team by ensuring they don't fear making decisions in the moment for the benefit of the guest. Mistakes are viewed as opportunities for learning, not punishment. Michael's approach promotes psychological safety and trust. By removing fear from the equation, he allows team members to take initiative, try new approaches, and build confidence. This empowerment leads to stronger team performance and, ultimately, better guest experiences. Connecting Employees to the Mission “If we expect our employees to connect people to water and wildlife, first we need to connect our employees to water and wildlife.” At the Tennessee Aquarium, conservation and education are central to the mission. Michael emphasized the importance of immersing employees in the organization's purpose—not just through training but by giving them firsthand experiences. Team members visit the Conservation Institute, participate in programs like sturgeon releases, and develop a personal connection to the stories they're telling guests. This connection transforms the guest interaction. Rather than reciting facts from a script, employees share genuine excitement and passion. Michael explained that this authenticity helps the Aquarium consistently rank in the top 1% for hospitality among global cultural organizations. By investing in the employee experience, they amplify the guest experience in return. Lessons from Being a Touring Musician “There's always something positive that you can go through and focus on and kind of talk through… and really being there and showing that type of respect—people, you start to get that back.” Before his time at the aquarium, Michael spent years on the road as a guitarist in a band. He credits that experience with shaping his values around community, branding, and respect. Touring taught him to build relationships with promoters, support other bands, and find creative ways to engage with audiences—like offering CDs to fans who beat the band in a game of Mortal Kombat. These grassroots, DIY (or as Michael prefers, DIT—do it together) experiences taught him how to build loyalty, communicate a brand, and foster belonging. These same principles now guide his work in the attraction space. Just like a band earns its fan base one person at a time, Michael believes in creating meaningful guest experiences by investing in the little things—hospitality, enthusiasm, and consistency.   To learn more about the Tennessee Aquarium, visit TNAqua.org or follow them on social media.

Dorothy Graham O'Dell lost her father, Don in 2021 after years of chronic pain and a fierce cancer fight, then became power‑of‑attorney for her grandmother, who died earlier this year. Layered grief could have sidelined her, but instead she launched the Unstoppable Overcomers show, wrote two resilience‑driven books, and founded a charity golf event that now fuels patient‑care grants.In this episode, Nick and Dorothy explore the tightrope of caregiving, the guilt of anticipatory grief, and the stubborn joy that can bloom in hospital hallways. Dorothy recounts 4 a.m. drives for pain treatments, the gratitude of hearing her dad's laugh on her wedding day, and the way dementia reshaped her bond with her grandmother.They also dig into purpose: why Veterans' mental health advocacy fuels Dorothy's work, how fundraising can keep a loved one's name alive, and why a simple podcast rating can save a stranger in the dark.

Heute geht es um Musiker mit strenger Ideologie und Bands mit einer Agenda, die vielleicht größer ist als die Musik selbst. Im Punk, Hardcore und Metal ist das nicht selten. Politik, Tierrechte, sogar der Lifestyle kann zur Mission werden. Der Grat zwischen positiven Anstößen zum Umdenken und herablassenden Belehrungen ist schmal. Wir sprechen auch darüber, auf welcher Mission wir eigentlich mit unseren eigenen Bands sind.

From Patient to Purpose: A Nurse Coach's Mission to Transform Organ Donation Support- Taylor Byrer BSN, RN, NC-BC Highlights“I was telling these two about my story and about how I needed a liver. And it was the most moving, most like chilling experience, like every single hair on my body was standing straight, because then the next time that we met, one of them had shared that she had lost her dad, and it was unexpected. And then the hospital staff came to her and asked if he was an organ donor. And she said, ‘No, he wasn't.' And she said, ‘I had never thought about him being an organ donor, like I never thought about that process.'And she said, ‘…and it wasn't until I heard about your story that I said, Yes, I want him to be an organ donor, and he would be okay with that'. And then he was an organ donor. And then she came back to me again a couple weeks later, and she said, Taylor, the only organ that he was able to get was his liver.”  ~Taylor Byrer BSN, RN, NC-BC Ah-Ha MomentsTaylor's story reminds Integrative Nurse Coaches how vital holistic presence and deep listening are during life-altering medical experiencesThis story is a powerful lesson in how lived experiences can shape a meaningful coaching niche.

Welcome to the The Achievers Podcast.  I'm your host Amber Deibert, Performance Coach. I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they workout and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success. You hit six figures. You got the job. You did everything you thought would finally make you feel successful… and yet, you still feel stuck. In this episode, I'm naming something most high performers are too busy (or too proud) to admit: that outward success doesn't always equal inner satisfaction. I share how I built a career chasing milestones, and how it left me feeling disconnected, directionless, and emotionally flat. That's when I found the “Hero on a Mission” framework. And it changed everything.   In this episode, I riff on: ↠ Why reaching your goals doesn't guarantee fulfillment ↠ The trap of moving mile markers and chasing the next high ↠ A narrative shift: what if you're the hero of a story? ↠ The “Will the hero…” question that rewires how you live ↠ How writing your eulogy creates instant clarity ↠ Breaking generational patterns, healing self-worth, and finding joy You'll walk away with a powerful mindset shift that turns everyday decisions into plot-building moments, and your life into a meaningful story.   PS.

Changing the world. We all have that secret desire, don't we?  Changing the world in Kingdom terms is not measured in the BIG, the BIGGER and the BIGGEST actions in our life and work. It's the opposite. Changing the world happens, one person, one word and one action at a time. It can be as small as a smile, a kind word, or a self-less act of service. It's counter-intuitive, just like the work of Christ. So how about you?  Would you like to change the world? Would you be willing to start today, changing the corner of the world where God has placed YOU?  We invite you to start changing the world RIGHT NOW, with ONE smile, ONE kind word, and ONE kind action.

Welcher Europäer, welche Europäerin wird als erste(r) zum Mond fliegen? 56 Jahre ist es her, dass erstmals Menschen den Mond betreten haben: Am 20. Juli 1969 stiegen Neil Armstrong und Buzz Aldrin aus ihrer Landefähre "Eagle" hinunter auf die staubige Oberfläche. Den nächsten bemannten Flug zum Mond plant die NASA für Mitte 2027. Es wäre die erste Landung von Astronauten seit 1972. Für Europa ist auch der Deutsche Alexander Gerst ein möglicher Kandidat für einen Flug zum Erdtrabanten. In diesem Podcast fragen wir ihn, was ihn an einer solchen Mission reizt. Und was er tut, um diesem Traum näherzukommen. Credits: Host in dieser Folge ist Stefan Geier.

“I don't know what I want.” “I don't know where I'm going.” “I don't know how to create a long-term vision.” If you've ever said those words  or thought them  this episode is for you. Most men feel lost at some point. But the truth is you're not broken. You've just never been shown how to figure it out. In this episode, I'll walk you through the exact framework I use with my clients to build a meaningful mission and vision step by step, even when you feel stuck or directionless. We cover: ✅ Why “finding” your mission doesn't work  and what to do instead ✅ The 4-step process to start building clarity today ✅ How to stop reacting to life and start leading it ✅ Why your mission will evolve as you evolve  and that's a good thing ✅ Why waiting for perfection will keep you stuck forever “You weren't given this life just to exist. You're here to build something worth being remembered for.” If you're ready to stop drifting and start moving toward the man you want to become  this is where you start.

Explore Paul's message to the Corinthian church, urging humility, graciousness, and sacrificial living empowered by God's Spirit. This sermon from First Christian Church in Brazil, IN, delves into 1 Corinthians 4, challenging believers to live intentionally for God's mission.In this fifth installment of the UnFiltered sermon series from First Christian Church in Brazil, IN, we dive into 1 Corinthians 4, where the Apostle Paul addresses the Corinthian church's struggles with pride, judgment, and complacency. Drawing from the sermon outline, Chris Gregg explores Paul's deep relational equity with the Corinthians, built over a year and a half of ministry in the vibrant, yet morally complex city of Corinth. The episode emphasizes the transformative power of the Gospel and the need for God's Spirit to live graciously, intentionally, and sacrificially in a world prone to criticism and division.Key Topics DiscussedPaul's Mission in Corinth: Introduction to Paul's church-planting efforts in Corinth, a wealthy, sex-obsessed city, and God's encouragement to him in Acts 18:9-10 to persevere in sharing the Gospel.Relational Equity: The importance of building trust and proximity in relationships to share hard truths, as Paul did with the Corinthians, rooted in love (1 Corinthians 4:20).God's Empowering Spirit: How the Corinthian church forgot their need for God's power, becoming prideful and judgmental, and Paul's call to humility (1 Corinthians 4:5).Living Graciously: Practical steps to live graciously by embracing brokenness, trusting God's strength, and staying curious to avoid toxic narratives and gossip.Intentional and Sacrificial Living: Paul's sarcastic rebuke of the Corinthians' complacency (1 Corinthians 4:8) and the call to live sacrificially for the Great Commission, as exemplified by Paul's hardships (1 Corinthians 4:9-13).Conviction vs. Shame: Paul's fatherly admonition (1 Corinthians 4:14-16) to follow his example, distinguishing between shame from the enemy and Holy Spirit-led conviction.Additional NotesThis sermon challenges listeners to reflect on their own spiritual complacency and embrace God's power to live out the Great Commission. Pastor references J.D. Greear's insight on deepening one's relationship with Jesus through helping others and encourages intentional living that sparks curiosity in others. The episode closes with a call to action: evaluate whether following Jesus is costing you anything, as inspired by Romans 12:1.Links and Contact InformationChurch Website: First Christian Church Brazil, INSermon Podcast: First Christian Church Sermons on Apple PodcastsSocial Media:Facebook: @fccbrazilInstagram: @fccbrazilContact: Email office@fccbrazil.org for questions or to connect with our ministry team.Further Reading: Explore more on 1 Corinthians with resources from The Gospel Coalition or BibleProject.

Have you ever felt lost trying to understand the Book of Revelation? Or wondered how God guides us, step by step, even when we feel like "little children"? This video reveals profound answers from Doctrine & Covenants 77-80! Summary: This comprehensive lesson unpacks the rich teachings of Doctrine & Covenants 77-80, offering insights into God's methods of revelation, personal development, and church organization. We begin by tackling the symbolic language of the Book of Revelation (D&C 77), exploring the meaning behind the "sea of glass," "four beasts," and the significance of "eyes" (knowledge) and "wings" (agency). Discover the purpose of the seven seals and the identity of the angels, including Elias, who gathers Israel and places the "seal of the living God" upon the foreheads of the faithful. Next, we delve into the practicalities of building Zion (D&C 78) through the establishment of the United Firm (later the United Order). Learn how this organization regulates the "storehouse for the poor," fosters "equality in the bonds of heavenly things," and prepares God's people to "stand independent" amidst tribulation. This section emphasizes the crucial role of commandments, councils, and unbreakable covenants in achieving unity and protecting against spiritual blindness. We then focus on personal growth (D&C 78), understanding that while we may often feel like "little children," God patiently leads us along, knowing we "cannot bear all things now". This highlights the importance of receiving all things with thankfulness and becoming "faithful and wise stewards". Finally, we explore the sacred nature of mission calls (D&C 79-80). Whether serving abroad or at home, we are assured that "it mattereth not, for ye cannot go amiss" as we declare the things we have heard, believe, and know to be true. This process of gaining testimony, coupled with the companionship of the Holy Ghost, empowers us to fulfill our divine assignments.
