Karen and Emily are kicking off the year with a three-part series about parenting principles we can learn from the book of Proverbs. Today, Karen addresses the confusion many moms today feel around discipline, authority, and the pressure to “get it right.” Drawing from Solomon's teaching, she reminds us that children need leadership, clear boundaries, and parents who are willing to direct them with confidence rather than fear. We hope this conversation encourages you to trust God for wisdom no matter what you are facing this week!Episode Recap:Wire Talk is celebrating 500 episodes next weekSubscribe to our YT podcast so you don't miss the giveawayGentle parenting does not workStop Googling and start getting into the Word of GodWe are bombarding ourselves with information overloadMoms are afraid of messing up and uncertain of what to doWhat are the 3 stages of discipline?

On April 4, 1991, 20-year-old Angela Hammond, who was four months pregnant, stopped at a payphone outside a grocery store in Clinton, Missouri to call her fiancé. During the call, she told him a strange pickup truck had been circling the block. Moments later, he heard her scream and then the line went dead. More than 34 years later, she has never been found. Detectives believe she was abducted, but without answers, her family and community are left wondering: what happened to Angela Hammond? **On the night of April 4, 1991, 20-year-old Angela “Angie” Hammond was abducted from a payphone outside the Food Barn store in Clinton, Missouri, while speaking on the phone with her fiancé.

WORLD DARTS CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL REVIEW - LITTLER IS THE CHAMP!
Top Stories for January 3rd Publish Date: January 3rd From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, January 3rd and Happy Birthday to John Paul Jones I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Gwinnett couple handcuffed at home after fake hostage call Why warming up your car on cold mornings might actually be hurting it Judge again pauses Georgia execution amid parole board conflict questions All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Kia Mall of Georgia STORY 1: Gwinnett couple handcuffed at home after fake hostage call Christmas Eve turned into a nightmare for Fredis Mejia and his wife. One minute, they were watching a movie. The next? Police with guns and shields were storming their home on Sugar Mill Drive. Through his security cameras, he saw officers surrounding the house. Moments later, he was on the ground, handcuffed. His wife, terrified it was immigration officers, refused to open the door until neighbors convinced her. The reason? A fake 911 call claiming a woman was being held at gunpoint. The caller gave an address that doesn’t even exist—4051 Sugar Hill Court. Gwinnett police say they acted quickly, fearing someone’s life was in danger. But Mejia says they treated him and his wife like criminals. “No apology, nothing. They just left,” he said. Police now believe it was a “swatting” incident, where false reports trigger a heavy police response. It’s illegal, and those responsible could face serious charges. STORY 2: Why warming up your car on cold mornings might actually be hurting it We’ve all done it. It’s freezing outside, so you grab your coffee, throw on a coat, start the car, and let it idle while you finish getting ready. Feels like the right move, right? A warm car, defrosted windshield—what’s not to love? Well, here’s the thing: that old habit might actually be doing more harm than good. Back in the day, when cars had carburetors, warming up your engine was necessary. But modern engines? They don’t need it. In fact, idling too long can damage your engine. Fuel doesn’t fully evaporate in cold weather, which means it can wash away the oil that lubricates critical parts like pistons and cylinders. Less oil equals more wear and tear—and a shorter engine life. So, what’s the better move? Start your car, wait 30 seconds, and drive off gently. The motion warms the engine faster than idling ever could. And if your windshield’s iced over? Grab a scraper. Don’t just sit there waiting for the defroster to do all the work. Oh, and if you’re driving an EV, preheat it while it’s plugged in to save battery range. STORY 3: Judge again pauses Georgia execution amid parole board conflict questions A Georgia judge hit the brakes on Stacey Humphreys’ execution—again. Originally set for Dec. 17, the lethal injection was paused last-minute, and now Fulton County Judge Robert McBurney says there’s more to sort out. The issue? Possible conflicts of interest on the state parole board, which decides clemency. Humphreys’ lawyers argue two board members shouldn’t even be involved. One, Kimberly McCoy, was a victim advocate during his trial. The other, Wayne Bennett, was the sheriff overseeing security when the trial moved to Glynn County. “Pressing pause is the right move,” McBurney wrote, calling the concerns “non-frivolous.” Humphreys, 52, was convicted of killing two women in a Cobb County real estate office back in 2003. His defense team says he deserves a clemency hearing without potential bias. Both sides have until Jan. 19 to file more arguments. For now, the clock stops.

We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets STORY 4: Virginia-Highland staple Murphy’s sold to father-son chef duo After 45 years, Murphy’s Restaurant, a Virginia-Highland institution, is changing hands—but not entirely leaving the family, in a way. Tom Murphy, who opened the beloved spot in 1980 as a Georgia State class project, has sold it to father-son chef duo Gregg and Matt McCarthy. They’ll officially take over on Jan. 5, 2026. The McCarthys are no strangers to Murphy’s. Gregg was executive chef from 2005 to 2009, and Matt joined as executive chef in 2023. “Murphy’s is more than a restaurant—it’s a cornerstone of this community,” they said. For decades, Murphy’s has been the go-to for brunch, wine tastings, and cozy dinners. And now, it’s ready for its next chapter. STORY 5: Historic Campbellton Park expands as development in South Fulton County continues Tucked along the Chattahoochee River, about 30 miles from Atlanta, lies the quiet, nature-filled city of Chattahoochee Hills. Mayor-elect Camille Lowe has big plans to make this hidden gem more accessible—without losing its charm. One of those big ideas? Expanding Campbellton Park from 18 acres to 95, thanks to a $2.5 million public-private effort led by the Trust for Public Land. Christine Hassell, who oversees capital projects for the Chattahoochee program, says the park is part of a larger vision: connecting one million people across 50 miles, from Atlanta to Alabama, through trails and river access. With new trails, birdwatching spots, and a rich history woven into the land, the park is already drawing visitors. And with MARTA’s bus rapid transit and local business revitalization underway, the area is poised for thoughtful growth. Break 3: GCPL Passport STORY 6: Teen accused of stealing thousands in East Cobb Venmo scam A 17-year-old is accused of pulling off a bold scam at a busy East Cobb intersection, tricking drivers into handing over thousands of dollars under the guise of collecting donations for a basketball team. Police say Antrez Jenkins stood at Johnson Ferry and Lower Roswell roads, asking for $1 donations. But when drivers opened payment apps like Venmo, he allegedly grabbed their phones and transferred much larger amounts before handing them back. One victim, Brenda Laskey, said it happened to her on Christmas Day. “He was messing with my phone, and I grabbed his and said, ‘Give me my phone back now!’” she recalled. When she got home, she discovered $2,000 had been drained from her account. Laskey immediately changed her passwords and called 911. Police arrested Jenkins at the same intersection, charging him with robbery and theft by deception. STORY 7: 25-year-old Georgia police officer battles stage 5 kidney failure At just 25, Officer Quas’Jon “Q” Flowers is facing a battle no one sees coming in their twenties: stage five kidney failure. A two-year veteran of the Albany Police Department, Flowers has been fighting a hereditary kidney condition since his teens. His health took a sharp turn in recent years—his kidney function plummeting from near-normal in 2021 to just 5–9% now. Doctors have placed a dialysis catheter, and he’s preparing for at-home treatments while awaiting final approval to join the kidney transplant list. A living donor could change everything, offering better outcomes and a shorter wait. The Albany Police Department is rallying behind him. “We lift him up in strength and support,” they said. Nearly 90,000 people in the U.S. are waiting for a kidney transplant. If you’d like to help, visit www.donatelifegeorgia.org to learn about organ donation.

In this episode of Spirit Talk, I share a personal story that happened on November 30th, well before the holidays, and the reflections that followed in the weeks after. While attending my son's lacrosse game, I ignored a clear gut feeling about a situation that didn't feel safe. Moments later, I was bitten by a dog. The injury itself healed, but what stayed with me was the realization that I had noticed the risk and chose to override myself anyway. This episode isn't about blame, fear, or dramatizing the event. It's about something many of us do without realizing it: pushing past our internal signals in order to be polite, avoid discomfort, or not make a scene. I talk through what happened that night, how my body responded in the days afterward, and why the emotional processing that followed mattered more than the physical injury. The second half of the episode looks at why intuition is so often dismissed or mislabeled as anxiety, overthinking, or fear and how social conditioning teaches many of us to second-guess what we already know. I also introduce the idea of the “witch wound,” not as a diagnosis or belief system, but as a useful way to describe the learned habit of suppressing inner knowing in order to stay safe, agreeable, or accepted. In this episode, I discuss: A real-life example of ignoring a gut feeling and the consequences Why we override intuition to avoid appearing rude, dramatic, or difficult How intuition is commonly mistaken for anxiety or overthinking What the “witch wound” means in practical, psychological terms Everyday ways self-trust gets eroded Why healing is about awareness, not perfection How pausing and listening, even briefly, builds self-trust over time If you've ever stayed quiet when something felt off, talked yourself out of a warning signal, or looked back and thought I knew better, this episode may resonate. The takeaway is simple: intuition doesn't need to be dramatic to be valid. Learning to listen and noticing when we don't is part of rebuilding trust with ourselves. Until next time, trust what you feel.

On this episode of Exclusively Van Halen, we dive into a newly released 2003 interview with Edward Van Halen, conducted by Steve Rosen
Sorry, but I have to say it...We are optimizing our way to boredom.Measure everything, test every variation, and optimize the customer journey until it's "perfect". That seems to be the mantra of modern business today.But in this first episode of 2026, our guest Kendra Shimmell throws a big wrench in this machinery.Kendra argues that while things like A/B testing validate what works right now, they often come at a steep cost. Because if we rely solely on reacting to quantitative data to make small, incremental improvements, we eventually, you guessed it, optimize our way to mediocrity and boredom.We lose the soul in our services.Kendra shares a painful example of this phenomenon in action: social media algorithms. You click on a cool backpack once, and the system thinks it has you figured out. Suddenly, your entire feed is just backpacks. A lot of backpacks.The algorithm is "optimized," sure. But it has stripped away all the serendipity, turning a place of discovery into a repetitive, boring experience. As Kendra put it, just because you can keep a user clicking doesn't mean you aren't exhausting them. So, the question is: Why do organizations default to this? Why are we so focused on squeezing out efficiency rather than exploring new avenues?When I asked Kendra, her answer was blunt: "Greed, Fear, and Confusion." Ouch.The greed to squeeze out the last 1% of revenue. The fear that if they try something new, they won't find product-market fit again. And the confusion that comes from ignoring the fact that humans are wildly irrational beings driven by feelings, not spreadsheets.This conversation is a wake-up call to stop treating our customers like subjects in a scientific experiment and start treating them as people to co-create with.And if your organization isn't ready to hear that? Well, Kendra has some advice on how to be a little "sneaky" to get the work done anyway!The conversation ends with a question that pairs perfectly with a long walk, somewhere where you can let a little serendipity back into your day: "When, where, and how is it most important to be human?".Happy New Year and keep making a positive impact!Be well, ~ Marc--- [ 1.

We tend to believe contentment is always just around the corner. One change away. One upgrade away. One new season away. But what if that belief is the very thing stealing joy from our lives?John Ortberg reflects on wisdom from C. S. Lewis and The Screwtape Letters, inviting us to rediscover God's gift of rhythm: change and permanence held together. Seasons that repeat. Days that feel familiar. Moments we rush past without seeing the miracle inside them.Contentment, it turns out, isn't about getting a new life. It's about seeing the same life with new eyes. Eyes of gratitude. Eyes of love.What if today, right now, is more than enough?

David Beck is the principal of Granite Connection High School in South Salt Lake, Utah. He has served as a teacher at Pleasant Grove High School, and Assistant Principal at both Cyprus High School and Granger High School in Utah. David earned his undergraduate and graduate degrees from BYU. In this episode we discuss the following: When one of David's students was falling asleep in class, a pep talk was the last thing she needed—she was working until 1:00 a.m. and catching a 6:30 a.m. bus just to get to school. What she needed was love, respect, and repeated check-ins over time. Even when students have especially difficult lives, the answer isn't to lower expectations, but to raise support through mentorship, consistency, interventions, and relationships. Often, what people need most isn't money, but guidance—someone to help them navigate systems and help them believe a different future is possible. By applying the Heath Brothers' Power of Moments framework and intentionally designing positive, celebratory experiences, David massively increased graduation rates. In the end, it all comes down to relationships.

As 2025 wraps up, Steve revisits five standout moments from some of our most impactful Great Life conversations this year. Like Part 1, this episode is built as a highlight reel, with short clips pulled from full-length interviews, but this time the focus is on building a great life so your great practice can grow quicker and easier. The goal is simple: give you the best ideas from 2025 in one place, so you can reconnect with what matters, protect your energy, and approach the new year with more clarity and intention. You'll hear: Lea Anne Groover on gaining clarity and focus through simple daily structure, movement, and intentional prioritization Dr. Deborah Day on why sleep, exercise, and nutrition are non-negotiables for sustained performance under pressure Brother Curtis on navigating anxiety by bringing it into the light with perspective, trust, and support Matthew Emerzian on the mattering mindset and finding purpose, meaning, and significance in everyday work Blinn Bates on planning real breaks through intentional absence and why "forced exile" strengthens both life and business As you listen, treat this like a personal reset session. Steve tees up five questions to keep in mind: What tiny daily habit can restore clarity and focus? What routine keeps you in a healthy peak state during intense weeks? How do you stop running on anxiety and choose a sustainable performance state? How do you keep meaning, what "great life" means to you, front and center at work and at home? How can you design your firm so you can truly step away? If a clip makes you think, "I needed to hear that," check the show notes and jump into the full episode for the complete conversation. In this episode, you will hear: Five standout Great Life moments from 2025 A tiny daily movement habit that supports clarity, energy, and focus The Top 3 daily focus method for reducing overwhelm and prioritizing what matters Trial-season self-care: sleep hygiene, nutrition, exercise, and why alcohol undermines recovery Anxiety as "fog," and how trusted support and better language can reduce its grip The mattering mindset, values, and meaning in stressful seasons "Forced exile" as a true time-off strategy and a systems test for a healthier firm and life Follow and Review: Subscribe & Review Never miss an episode.

Lieutenant Colonel retired C. Scott “Sonny” Duncan joins me for one of the more thought-provoking conversations I have hosted on Moments in Leadership. Sonny's path is anything but typical. He enlisted in the Navy, earned an ROTC scholarship, commissioned as a Naval Officer, transitioned into the Marine Corps, became an F/A 18 pilot, graduated from Top Gun, instructed at NAWDC, and was slated to command an F35 squadron before the COVID mandate brought his career to a crossroads.We cover how he learned to lead through fear, how aviation culture built his approach to performance and accountability, why he and his wife made a values based decision during the mandate, and how he now serves at the senior executive level inside the Department of the Navy. There are hard moments in this episode, and there are leadership lessons that apply across every community.As always, thank you to the supporters on Supercast who help keep Moments in Leadership ad free and sustainable.GUEST BIO LINKSSES Bio, C.

They were driving through the snow on Christmas Eve, tired, cold, and miles from anywhere familiar. The road was dark, the trees unlit, and the snowfall just heavy enough to make every mile feel uncertain. When the car stalled in the middle of a remote stretch of highway, it didn't feel dramatic—it felt final. No cell service. No passing traffic. No footprints or tire tracks in the snow. Just silence. Then headlights appeared where none should have been. A stranger stopped. Said the right things. Fixed a problem that shouldn't have been fixable. Refused money. Wished them a safe trip home for Christmas—and vanished back into the dark. Moments later, the road no longer looked the same. Years later, details about that night still don't add up. The traffic that suddenly appeared. The mechanical failure returned the next morning. The timing was just a little too perfect. So who really stopped to help them that night… and why? #trueghoststory #realghoststories #christmasparanormal #guardianangelstory #unexplainedencounter #paranormalpodcast #holidaymystery #trueparanormal #christmaseve #supernaturalstories Love real ghost stories?

In this 2025 Year-in-Review Hidden Killers special, Tony Brueski breaks down one of the most talked-about courtroom moments of the year: the opening statements in the high-stakes murder-for-hire trial of Donna Adelson. From the prosecution's meticulously crafted narrative to the defense's chaotic stumble out of the gate, this episode captures the full shockwave of a trial Florida—and the nation—can't stop watching. Prosecutors came out swinging, painting Donna not as a grieving grandmother swept into family conflict, but as the driving force behind the plot to kill Florida State law professor Dan Markel. They laid out motive, money, resentment, and years of escalating family turmoil. Emails revealed Donna's relentless pressure to relocate her daughter Wendi and the grandchildren to South Florida—pressure she once described as something she would “never, never, never give up” on. When persuasion failed, the State argues, she turned to a six-figure murder contract. The prosecution previewed phone records, financial trails, incriminating communications, and Donna's attempted one-way trip to Vietnam—presented not as coincidence, but as a calculated escape once the walls began to close in. Then came the defense. Their opening statement—highly anticipated after the State's precision—landed with a thud. Instead of offering a coherent counter-narrative, the defense drifted, circled, and repeated the same hollow refrain: “There is no evidence.” Attorney Jackie Fulford attempted to cast Donna as an innocent grandmother caught in her son Charlie's orbit, but the argument lacked structure, clarity, and force. Jurors appeared disengaged. Moments meant to reassure instead highlighted inconsistencies the prosecution is eager to exploit. This unified breakdown captures the full scope of a pivotal moment in the 2025 trial landscape: a prosecution ready for battle and a defense already fighting to regain footing. Is Donna Adelson the mastermind prosecutors claim—or is the defense simply outmatched from day one? #DonnaAdelson #DanMarkel #HiddenKillers #MurderTrial #CourtroomDrama #TrialCoverage #FloridaCrime #TrueCrimeCommunity #JusticeForDan Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
