Welcome to the DMF!I'm Justin Younts, and in this episode, Sara Alessandrini opens up about the chaotic and often brutal world of documentary filmmaking.Sara walks us through the challenges she faced while creating her documentary — challenges that went far beyond the expected hurdles of production. She dealt with legal threats, bullying, and intense pushback from some of the very people she interviewed. What was meant to be a creative pursuit quickly revealed the darker, more hostile side of the industry.Throughout the episode, Sara explains how she navigated these obstacles: managing aggressive interviewees, protecting herself legally, and fighting tirelessly to get her film accepted into festivals. She shares the emotional toll the project took on her and the determination she needed to keep her vision alive despite the odds stacked against her.For Sara, this journey wasn't just about making a film — it became a test of strength, resilience, and integrity. She discusses the importance of due process, the complexities of handling real stories responsibly, and what it means to stand your ground in a competitive and often unforgiving industry.If you're an aspiring filmmaker or simply curious about the behind-the-scenes realities of documentary production, this episode offers raw insight, hard-earned lessons, and inspiration to keep pushing forward no matter the challenges.Join us as Sara pulls back the curtain on the truth, the chaos, and the courage it takes to tell a story that matters.00:00:01 - Introduction00:00:06 - The Role of Politicians00:00:42 - The Making of the Documentary00:01:30 - Challenges in the Film Industry00:01:49 - The Process of Making a Documentary00:01:59 - The Impact of Bullying in the Film Industry00:02:02 - The Fight for Ownership of the Documentary00:02:14 - The Transition from a Documentary to a Mini Series00:02:25 - The Release and Reception of the Documentary00:02:36 - The Politics Behind the Documentary00:04:09 - Legal Challenges and Threats00:04:32 - The Screening of the Documentary00:08:01 - The Confrontation at the Film Festival00:09:08 - The Aftermath and Ongoing Legal Issues00:10:39 - The Attempt to Sabotage the Documentary00:11:18 - The Aftermath of the Screening00:11:43 - The New Documentary Project00:12:16 - The Motives Behind the New Documentary00:12:45 - The Scam Behind the New Documentary00:13:16 - The Desire for Fame and Recognition00:14:00 - The Misunderstanding of the Role of a Producer00:15:06 - The Reality of the Movie Industry00:15:11 - The Problem of Unfinished Movies00:15:25 - The Misuse of Funds in Film Production00:15:40 - The Need for Legal Protection in the Film Industry00:16:04 - The Issue with Personal Motives in Film Production00:16:29 - The Miscommunication of Risk in Film Funding00:16:50 - The Misrepresentation of Film Producers00:18:00 - The Influence of Current Events on Documentary Editing00:19:38 - The Challenges of Editing a Documentary00:21:09 - The Process of Distributing a Documentary00:22:03 - The Role of Aggregators in Film Distribution00:22:57 - The Decision to Self-Distribute00:23:51 - The Process of Getting a Documentary Approved for Distribution00:24:42 - The Role of AI in Film Editing00:28:32 - The Future Plans of the Filmmaker00:30:34 - Daily Routine and Meditation00:31:37 - Physical Fitness and Sports00:32:26 - Reading and Family History00:33:25 - Music Preference00:33:40 - Watching Habits and Recent Movies00:35:22 - Contact InformationCheck out Sara's website, where you can learn more about the documentary miniseries and find links to watch it! https://www.thisiswhatnewyorkerssay.com https://www.instagram.com/lasava.alessandrini/

The Temptation to Misuse the Church is Very Real: Jesus declares that His house must be a house of prayer, not a den of thieves. Today, we confront misuse of the Church's mission and reflect on staying faithful to prayer, truth, and the defense of life. This Scripture challenges us to remain rooted in the Gospel in a time of confusion and compromise.

Guiding Question: What are the hidden dangers that sabotage a man's adventure—and are you letting any of them define you? Key Takeaways: Beware the “Adventure Busters”: Robert Lewis introduces the concept of “Adventure Busters”—internal and external forces that derail a man's pursuit of a meaningful life. These include secret sins, unresolved wounds, or culturally normalized behaviors that quietly erode a man's soul and impact. The Double Life: One of the most common and destructive adventure busters. Many men compartmentalize their lives, presenting a polished exterior while hiding secret struggles. This leads to fragmentation, isolation, and eventual collapse. Living two lives is exhausting. It robs men of authenticity, joy, and real intimacy. The only solution is courageous honesty—first with God, then with safe others. Sexual Shortcuts: Robert Lewis directly confronts the destructive influence of pornography and casual sexual behavior. These “shortcuts” promise intimacy and excitement, but deliver shame and disconnection. Pornography is not just a private issue—it affects how men see women, relationships, and themselves. Sexual purity is not about repression but restoration—recovering God's good design for sex. God's Design for Sex: It is good, powerful, and purposeful. Meant to be expressed in covenantal love—marriage. Misuse leads to wounds, while rightly ordered sex brings deep joy and unity. Shame Is a Lie: Lewis makes clear: the goal is not to heap guilt, but to extend grace and freedom. Every man has struggles. What matters is whether you stay stuck in silence or step forward into healing. Five Practical Tools for Restoration: Personal honesty – Acknowledge the problem without rationalizing it. Accountability – Regular check-ins with trustworthy men. Boundaries – Proactively avoid triggers and access points. Spiritual renewal – Prayer, Scripture, and surrender. Vision – See purity not as avoidance but as a greater “yes” to joy and impact. Setting Up for Part 2: This is part one of a two-part teaching. Lewis hints that next week will cover more adventure busters—wounds, lies, and unresolved issues from a man's past that continue to shape his present. Key Scripture References: Ephesians 5:11–14 – Exposing deeds of darkness and walking in light. Matthew 5:8 – “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.” Proverbs 4:23 – Guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. 1 Thessalonians 4:3–5 – God's will: sanctification and sexual purity. James 5:16 – Confess your sins to one another and be healed. Romans 12:1–2 – Present your bodies as a living sacrifice; be transformed by renewing your mind.

Can we use AI to enhance human connection rather than replace it? In this Part 2 of our AI series episodes, Shekeese and I explore how humanist technology, rooted in ethics, education, and responsible use, can transform our relationship with AI. From the dangers of “AI slop” to the potential for real, inquiry-based interaction, we highlight why teaching students to treat AI like a tool, not a replacement, is crucial. We dig into tech company accountability, regulation, social media's societal role, and even the environmental toll of data centers. This isn't a tech utopia, it's a call for wiser integration, grounded in understanding, purpose, and human values.--------- EPISODE CHAPTERS ---------(0:00:02) - Navigating Humanist Technology and AI(0:04:53) - AI Technology Education and Misuse(0:11:53) - Tech Education and Government Regulation(0:16:25) - The Impact of Social Media Regulation(0:23:12) - Regulating Technology and Online Behavior(0:32:58) - Tech Founders Impact Regulation(0:41:05) - Navigating Internet Regulation Debate(0:53:08) - The Impact of Data Centers(0:59:29) - Tech Regulation and Future Development(1:14:10) - Promoting a Warrior MindsetSend us a text

Wrestling with Shakespeare, Faith, and the Limits of Technology   Host Curtis Chang and Dr. Jessica Hooten Wilson—Fletcher Jones Chair of Great Books at Pepperdine University—explore The Tempest by William Shakespeare and its timeless wisdom for our technology-driven world. Through Prospero's struggle with power, control, and love, they draw parallels between Shakespeare's "magic" and our modern dependence on digital tools. Wilson explains how the play invites us to surrender our illusions of control, embrace humility, and rediscover relationships grounded in grace. Curtis and Jessica's discussion touches on C.S. Lewis, Andy Crouch, and the spiritual discipline of wrestling with hard texts and ideas in an age of easy answers from ChatGPT.   (02:30) - Dependence Upon Technology as Magic (05:40) - What Do We Forget in Our Obsessions?

Have an episode suggestion? Text us!In this episode, Paige gets real about something she's noticed in the healing and recovery space: the temptation to use growth language as a weapon. When we finally find words for our pain, it can feel powerful; but if we start using those words to shame, prove, or control others, we've missed the point.

New Zealand's drug laws are in the spotlight again and with good reason. Despite record police busts, we're still seeing record methamphetamine use, we're seeing increasingly dangerous street drugs, and rising overdose deaths, three a week from drug overdoses. There have been calls to overhaul the 50-year-old Misuse of Drugs Act and the call comes from a number of different organisations. The Drug Foundation wants drug use decriminalised and the law rewritten to make it a health issue, not a criminal issue, and they have been very consistent in their approach on this. Also this week we had a survey from the Helen Clark Foundation conducted by the University a University of Otago researcher, Rose Crossin. And that found that half of New Zealanders support shifting investment from policing to health. Rose Crossin told the Elephant News show right now two-thirds of what we spend on drugs goes to law enforcement. And the people surveyed would prefer that money to go on to prevention, treatment and harm reduction. The report shows that just 1.4% of the annual drug budget is for harm reduction. 1.4%. That does rise to 30% when you look at treatment and prevention, but it's still when you see the vast majority going towards policing, surely it should be flipped on its head. Green's co-leader Chloe Swarbrick also raised the issue, again, launching an online platform yesterday, which asked for public suggestions on better drug regulation, in particular cannabis, as a step towards legalisation. Now, with the use of medicinal cannabis, we haven't seen a huge upswing in the numbers of people taking cannabis. I venture there are some of you who have used medicinal cannabis, found it works for you. You've never used cannabis before, but when the opportunity came available for you to use it, you did so, and found it didn't turn you into a raging drug addict lifting your skirt on the streets to pay for your habit. And in fact, helped you with pain, helped you with sleeplessness, whatever it is that medicinal cannabis is supposed to do. So certainly, there needs to be more opportunity for people to rehab, for those who've tried drugs, found it doesn't work for them and need to get off it. There are clinics around the country, but hey, good luck getting into the taxpayer funded ones. Pretty much it seems you have to be court ordered before you can get into those rehab clinics. If you go private, prices start from around $17,000 for a couple of weeks to a month. Most 30-day residential rehabs charge more than $20,000. And you can have ones with all the bells and whistles and the nice sheets and the nice meals and the yoga instructor. But who the hell can pay for that? The trust fund babies, sure. Wealthy business people, sure. But where do you go if you're an average, ordinary, everyday Kiwi who tried drugs, be it meth or coke or booze, and thought you could handle it, and found that the monkey on your back was the one in charge, you need to get off. You have to. - you're going to lose your family, you're going to lose your soul. How do you step out of your life for a month? How do you find the 30-odd thousand for the month? How do you re-enter your life and stay clean? Policing plays an important role in thwarting people who make money from peddling misery. Having drugs criminalised stops some people from using them. I know that when I was growing up in the media,and I really was, 17,18, 19 years old, a big reason I didn't use drugs that were around, the cocaine and the cannabis, was that I would lose my job. If I was found in possession of any of these drugs, I would lose my job. I would have a criminal offence against my name, so the legalised drug, booze, became my drug of choice. So I understand how having drug use criminalised can be useful in stopping people starting. Bbt surely reducing demand is a really vital part of the process as well. People choosing not to use alcohol and other drugs will have a much bigger impact than the occasional high-profile bust. And surely then making drugs just another product with all the health and safety regulations around the production of these drugs, having taxes applied at source, turning it into just another commodity would be the most effective of all at emasculating the gangs and the cartels?

Ever said "you just need the right mindset" without knowing what that actually means? You're not alone. Most people use mindset like a magic word—vague, fluffy, and completely useless. This episode breaks down what mindset really is through psychology, not wellness guru nonsense. You'll learn the difference between growth mindset (seeing failure as learning) and fixed mindset (believing ability is static), why abundance mindset beats scarcity thinking, and how open-mindedness isn't about accepting everything. The fisherman story reveals how we all fake understanding of concepts we never properly learned.

When President Trump deployed the military to Los Angeles in June, former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano called it an “abuse of presidential power.” Napolitano, who is also the former governor of Arizona, told MSNBC that to federalize the national guard over California Governor Gavin Newsom's objections was “simply outrageous.”  During Napolitano's time at DHS, she beefed up border security and increased deportations while also spearheading the creation of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) initiative. Now director of the new Institute for Security and Governance at UC Berkeley, Napolitano joins Commonwealth Club World Affairs to talk about the current administration's border crackdown, criticism of ICE tactics, and what it all means for immigration policy, civil liberties and the economy.  We'll also hear from Napolitano, the former president of the University of California, about Trump's efforts to reshape higher education.

The media loves to paint political violence as “right-wing,” but the truth is far more complex. In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano dismantles the lazy labels used by academics and pundits to smear conservatives and Republicans. He explains why Nazism and white supremacy are statist, collectivist ideologies that have nothing in common with conservatism or Republicanism, exposes how the left inflates political violence statistics to claim the moral high ground, and reveals where the real radicalism is going mainstream, socialism and Marxist thought within the Democratic Party. Episode Highlights The truth about “right-wing violence” and how academics and media distort the numbers. Why Nazism and white supremacy are statist, authoritarian ideologies—not conservative or Republican. How socialism and Marxist ideas have gone mainstream in today's Democratic Party while conservatives reject extremism.

In Episode 27 of The Luke Coutinho Show, we dive deep into the often-ignored topic of constipation and why it's more than just a digestive issue. Discover practical insights, warning signs, and sustainable lifestyle solutions to restore balance and health.Here's what you'll explore in this episode:Constipation is more than a digestive issue – it's linked to headaches, gas, hemorrhoids, cancers, kidney stones, and more.Daily bowel movement is essential – incomplete evacuation or straining are warning signs.Lifestyle factors matter most – hydration, fiber, balanced protein, exercise, and stress management are key.Warning symptoms to seek medical help – blood in stool, persistent constipation, sudden bowel changes, or unexplained weight loss.Misuse of laxatives and enemas is harmful – long-term dependence damages natural gut function.Sustainable solutions exist – yoga, probiotics, mindful eating, and avoiding alcohol, excess caffeine, and ultra-processed foods.And much more…

“The Assemblies of God was founded as a cooperative fellowship that honors the calling and gifting of all Spirit-filled believers, not as a clerical hierarchy,” says a new Assemblies of God position paper. “As we seek to cultivate healthy spiritual leadership,” it continues, “we must resist any drift toward positional superiority and instead affirm diverse models of leadership found throughout the global church. To walk in step with the Spirit, we must honor the voices of those God has raised up from within, not just those with titles. The nature of spiritual leadership listens, learns, and leads in discernment within community.” In this episode of the Influence Podcast, I talk to Allen Tennison about “Misuse of Spiritual Leadership” (also in Spanish), a new position paper adopted by the General Presbytery of the Assemblies of God during its August 2025 meeting. I'm George P. Wood, executive editor of Influence magazine and your host. Allen Tennison is theological counsel of the General Council of the Assemblies of God and chair of its Commission on Doctrines and Practices. ————— This episode of the Influence podcast is brought to you by My Healthy Church, distributors of Fostering an Environment for Connection.

In her sermon Don't Misuse God's name by Pastor Kaily Morrow teaches that you radically love God by not misusing His Name. We addressed the principality of profanity in the city of Austin! Where people treat God's name without respect and with irreverence. While the enemy recognizes the power of God's name but people in today's culture doesn't. Jewish people have a fear of misusing God's name because they know if you misuse his name it would be dishonoring to His very being, His Presence and His Glory.

In this insightful episode of the Compared to Who? podcast, host Heather Creekmore welcomes bestselling author, speaker, and Bible teacher Lisa Whittle to discuss her new book, Body and Soul, and the powerful concept of "whole body theology." Together, they delve into the intersection of faith and body image, explore what it means to have a biblical foundation for how we view our bodies, and confront the complicated journey many Christians face with body image and self-worth. Key Points & Takeaways: Whole Body Theology Defined:Lisa shares her journey into developing a “whole body theology” — a comprehensive, biblical belief system that addresses our entire personhood (body, soul, and spirit). This theology is designed to give believers a scriptural foundation for making body-related decisions, rather than relying solely on diet culture or secular self-esteem movements. The Need for a Biblical Approach:Both Heather and Lisa highlight the shortcomings of how the Church often compartmentalizes spiritual and physical health, or accidentally echoes secular body positivity without offering a theological alternative. Lisa asserts that lasting body image peace is grounded in spiritual transformation and discipleship, not just new diets or positive mantras. Personal Body Image Stories:Lisa vulnerably recounts her own "complicated" story with body image, including familial pressures, diet culture, and early struggles with eating disorders. She reveals how the truth of Scripture and God’s view of her body brought genuine freedom, something diets and cultural messages never provided. Discipleship Around Body Image:The conversation stresses the Church’s responsibility to disciple believers in whole body theology, integrating faith and embodied life. Lisa advocates for developing a framework where everyday choices with food, movement, rest, and even work are filtered through the lens of glorifying God. Misuse of Scripture in Body Image:Common verses like “your body is a temple” or “fearfully and wonderfully made” are often misapplied, leading to shame, diet obsession, or misunderstanding. True whole body theology digs deeper into Scripture for a holistic, grace-filled perspective rather than cherry-picking verses to fit societal standards. Rejecting Judgement & Assumptions:Both speakers caution against judging others' bodies from the outside or assuming someone's spiritual health by body size. Such partiality is unbiblical and harmful, and they call for more compassion and understanding within the Church community. Dangers of Diet and Body Positivity Culture:Lisa and Heather warn against simply swinging from diet culture to secular body positivity without a biblical root. They challenge listeners not to accept cultural solutions but to pursue God’s truth for genuine freedom and transformation. About Lisa’s Bible Study (Body and Soul):Lisa explains how her new six-week Bible study walks individuals or groups through the process of building a whole body theology. With videos, scripture dives, reflection questions, and practical steps, participants learn to draw their body beliefs from Scripture—not from culture. Practical Encouragements: Lasting body image freedom comes from aligning your beliefs about your body with God’s Word, not with fleeting diets or positive slogans. True discipleship includes how we steward, honor, and view our physical selves as integral to spiritual life. It’s time for the Church and its people to lead—not follow—in honest, compassionate, gospel-oriented conversations about body image.

Tom and co-host Drew tackle some of the most pressing issues shaping our world right now—from trade deals and tech breakthroughs to the complexities of American politics and evolving cultural narratives. The conversation kicks off with reactions to a major US-EU trade agreement and what it means for America's place in the global economy. Tom and Drew dive into the ongoing gridlock in Congress, sparked by passionate remarks from Cory Booker, and discuss whether polarization is crippling the nation—or protecting it from “doing anything really crazy.” They draw surprising parallels between the American political landscape and other countries, especially China. Next, the team explores a viral ad campaign starring Sydney Sweeney, unpacking the culture war currently raging over beauty standards, identity, and the stories we tell ourselves as a society. Tom makes the case for the power of uplifting narratives—both for individuals and entire nations—while warning of the risks when those narratives turn toxic.
