Hey there! It's Michael here - and welcome back to Speak Naturally in a Minute from Happy English. I'm here every Sunday with a quick one-point lesson to help you improve your pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation.  And if you want to watch this lesson, just look for Happy English Podcast on YouTube.Sometimes, in everyday spoken American English,  we use stress, to show meaning. That means saying certain words louder or stronger to give emphasis in a sentence. A great example of this is when we use do or did for emphasis. When we really want to strongly confirm something, we put the stress on do or did. Like if someone says, how come you didn't finish that report? You can say “I did finish the report.” And I sent it to you.Or if you got a bad grade on an exam, and someone accuses you of not studying. You can tell them, “I did study. That was just a really tough exam”Or maybe someone has the wrong idea about you. Like if your friend says, “we can't go to that new sushi place, because Michael doesn't like sushi. You can say, “I do like sushi.”When you use do or did this way, the meaning becomes stronger and clearer. That's how native speakers show emphasis.  So next time you want to correct someone or strongly confirm something, try saying things like, “I did do it.” OR “I do wanna do it.”  That's the music of natural American English.Hey, thanks for listening! And remember to follow and subscribe so you won't miss the next Happy English Podcast and next Sunday's Speak Naturally in a Minute.  Until next time, keep learning and keep it cool.Watch video versions of the Happy English Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HappyEnglishNY/podcastsBuild Vocabulary With My Free Vocabulary Workshop: https://learn.myhappyenglish.com/vocabulary-workshop-signup

DAMTT: Two-Legged Lamps, Jaws, and Choosing Wit After missing a week due to sickness, Stacy and Eric are together again! Stacy is knee-deep in prepping her house for sale, which is making her way less enthused to decorate her house, while per tradition, Eric's place is decorated, save for the tree which will go up eventually. Naturally this leads to a rabbit hole about real versus fake trees and holiday smells. Speaking of smells, Stacy had a sensory shopping experience that was doggone awful! Eric has some recent wins with both his deck and solar panels finally being done, just in time for the rain. As for Cultural Blindspots, Stacy has been WAY too busy watching bad holidating movies to check anything off the list whereas Eric checked off every James Bond movie featuring Roger Moore and Timothy Dalton. His take was the movies weren't terribly smart, but they were very funny, a theme that ties perfectly into this episode's topic of Smart vs. Funny. In the end Stacy and Eric agree that a smart person picks a funny one. DAMTT is on Facebook and Instagram as @dontaskme to talk or email asking@dontaskmetotalk.com Next Time: Is Water Wet?

This week on Chins and Giggles, the girls are unhinged in the best way. Karina casually drops that she's doing a water fast, which immediately spirals into chaos, concern, and the very real question of whether this is wellness… or a much needed reset. Then things get REAL real as the girls dive into heavy periods because yeah, girl struggles, and nothing is off-limits on this podcast. Mayra then flexes on everyone with her Christmas party that's so chic, so curated, so powerful it's honestly giving Kris Jenner holiday empire energy. Naturally, this leads to the scare of the week: Is Karina pregnant???

So many women hit midlife and suddenly find themselves whispering about things they never thought they'd struggle with, like desire, dryness, disconnection, or feeling like a stranger in their own body. That quiet discomfort adds up, and it can take a real toll on intimacy and self-confidence. In this episode, we start talking about what's actually going on with your hormones, your libido, and your relationships, so you can finally get clarity instead of guessing.    Gabriella Espinosa, a Menopause Advocate, Women's Health and Sexual Wellness Coach, and Host of Pleasure in the Pause, joins me and immediately brings this grounded mix of wisdom, humor, and real-life experience.

We talk about how to speak up with your partner and your doctor in a way that feels honest and not awkward.   You'll hear simple, practical ways to reconnect with your body, rebuild desire, and shift the narrative around menopause from "something to survive" into something that actually expands your confidence. Gabriella shares how this stage of life can sharpen your wisdom, deepen your pleasure, and even make you feel sexier than you expected.

In this episode of Your Natural Dog, Angela Ardolino is joined by holistic pet health coach Naja Muller of Tonka's Journey and Green Paws Holistic Pet Care. Naja shares how she's helped her handicapped and chronically challenged dogs stay comfortable, mobile, and joyful using a holistic pain management toolkit, without relying on long-term pharmaceuticals. Angela and Naja dive into the five pain pathways, why conventional pain meds often lead to stacking multiple drugs with serious side effects, and how whole-plant cannabis, psilocybin, nutrition, and at-home therapies can work together to support dogs living with pain.Episode Recap:Angela introduces Naja Muller, Tonka's Journey and sets the stage for a deep dive into chronic pain, handicapped dogs, and holistic pain support. (00:00)They break down the five pain-signaling pathways and explain how conventional drugs usually target just one, while cannabis and other botanicals can influence multiple pathways at once. (03:13)Naja shares her dog Tripp's osteosarcoma story, how conventional pain meds quickly caused severe constipation, and how switching to high-THC and CBD plus a wheelchair transformed his final six months. (05:17)Naja shares about her dog Tonka's congenital deformities, and how she committed early to a holistic pain plan instead of cycling through combinations of dog pain meds and their side effects. (07:19)They discuss their shared experiences using full extract cannabis (THC-rich oil) and CBD for pain support in dogs, including why whole-plant cannabis works differently than pharmaceuticals and practical tips for balancing THC and CBD for comfort without heavy sedation. (09:45)Angela and Naja unpack the problem with NSAIDs, opioids, steroids, Librela and other popular pain drugs for dogs, highlighting issues like gut damage, liver and kidney strain, and long-term fallout. (13:50)Why the conversation should actually be about being proactive with food and lifestyle, rather than adding more synthetic supplements and pharmaceuticals. Naja shares her go-to foods for joint support and inflammation. (18:24)Angela discusses the need to reframe hemp, functional mushrooms and adaptogens as functional food, rather than “supplements”, stressing clean sourcing, COAs, and why real liquid mushroom extracts beat cheap powders with fillers. (21:02)Naja shares the at-home modalities she uses with her dogs, including light therapy, infrared and PEMF mats, cold laser, tuning forks, Reiki, ozone and bodywork, to support comfort and recovery. (26:49)Naja describes her own experience microdosing psilocybin, then using it with Tonka, and the subtle but noticeable shifts she saw in his mobility, reactivity and emotional balance over time. (32:42)They close by urging pet parents not to blindly trust every prescription, to learn the real risks of dog pain meds and steroids, and to build proactive, “do no harm” holistic pain plans that protect quality of life.

In this episode of the Marketing Guides for Small Businesses Podcast, we welcome Stewart Cohen, award-winning photographer, filmmaker, and founder of SC Pictures. Stewart shares valuable insights from decades of working with major brands and agencies, highlighting the power of personal connection, relationship-building, and authentic storytelling in today's fast-moving marketing landscape. Stewart explains why first-time clients often hire based on work or price, but long-term clients return because of the connection you build. He describes how nurturing relationships over months or even years is essential in industries with long sales cycles. We discuss practical strategies for staying top-of-mind without overwhelming prospects, including personal outreach, industry visibility, and thoughtful content that positions you as a trusted authority. As the conversation expands, Stewart outlines how constant industry change—from mergers to shifting buyer roles—makes platforms like LinkedIn essential for staying informed and maintaining relationships. He also shares why he still reads print media and industry reports daily, and how surprising insights often lead to meaningful client touchpoints. Naturally, the discussion turns to AI. Stewart is candid about how AI tools are transforming creative work—from pre-production to content ideation—and why the genie isn't going back in the bottle. We explore the gray areas of AI-generated content, copyright concerns, and the global differences in how companies are already using AI at scale. Stewart emphasizes that creatives must evolve with technology, just as they did with digital cameras, Photoshop, and mobile photography. The episode also dives into branding lessons. Stewart shares why brands often get tired of their own identity long before customers even recognize it—meaning frequent rebrands often destroy hard-earned equity. We compare small-business identity to big-brand campaigns and discuss why evolution beats revolution in long-term brand building. Next, we explore how video production is changing. Stewart talks about the shift toward vertical formats, low-budget video options, and storytelling that works in today's fast-scroll environment. He explains how small businesses can use simple, authentic video to create meaningful engagement without massive production budgets. Other topics include: Staying authentic in a world full of overproduced brandingHow industry consolidation affects small service providersWhy clear expectations improve client satisfactionWhat consistency in deliverables means for production teamsThe importance of respecting clients' spaces and time during shootsThe rising cost of paid media and what small businesses must consider before investing in Google or LinkedIn adsHow to reverse-engineer advertising budgets based on customer acquisition costWhy licensing existing content can be a smart, cost-effective option Stewart closes the episode by sharing where listeners can explore his work—at stewartcohen.com, on LinkedIn, on Instagram @scpictures, or through his stock media platform superstock.com. This episode is packed with practical, real-world wisdom for marketers, creators, and small-business owners who want to level up their storytelling, build stronger relationships, and navigate the rapidly changing world of video and content creation.

Ultimate Reconciliation of All (1) (audio) David Eells – 12/10/25 I have found that the truth always motivates people to holiness, to turn loose of the world and run after God; but a lie always makes people comfortable where they are, and there are a lot of lies out there. People who like to make up their own gospel turn the grace of God into lasciviousness by choosing to believe that once saved is always saved. That means there's no use in taking any warning from the Lord seriously, since that false doctrine negates the possibility of being lost. These people are not motivated because they erroneously believe their “ticket's been punched.” Today, I'm going to speak to you about a doctrine that's in the church denominations called “ultimate reconciliation of all.” Many Unconditional Eternal Security people find this easy to fall into since in effect you cant be lost. Ultimate Reconciliationists believe there will come a time when the wicked, including the devil and his angels, in some cases, will come out of torment and be reconciled to God. This doctrine did not come from Christians but Unitarians and Universalists who brought it from England to the New England colonies in the 18th century. The fruit of this doctrine is the same as that of unconditional eternal security. If no one can ultimately be lost, why fear God or the warnings of Scripture? It destroys motivation to study and obey the Word of God or evangelize the lost and dying. Like the unconditional eternal security people, many of these will take the mark of the beast and are taking the spiritual mark now. What else would the devil have you believe? I have ministered in several churches that believed this. Generally, the people are very prideful and judgmental of those who do not have their “deep revelation”. They are forced to pick and choose verses in order to justify this doctrine, and it makes them disrespect the Word. I have debated many with this doctrine over the years, some on our live internet chat Bible study a few years ago. When they can't back it up with scriptures, they generally resort to insults. We who believe the Word just don't have “the revelation”. Reconciliationists say the Greek words for forever and ever mean “unto the age of the ages”, meaning when used of those in eternal punishment, it is only for a period of time after which everyone comes out of the lake of fire. They lie. “Unto the age of the ages” is only in one place. (Eph.3:21) unto him [be] the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus unto all generations for ever and ever (unto the age of the ages) Amen. Here it says, “unto all generations unto the age of the ages”, which is only as long as men have children, clearly making it a period of time. In the four Greek manuscripts I have, which range from the oldest to the Received Text, the second-to-last Greek letter of “age” in this verse is an omicron, the 17th letter of the Greek alphabet, which makes this word singular, “Age”. In every other place, the second-to-last letter in the word “ages” is an alpha, the 1st letter of their alphabet, making this word plural, “Ages”. In every other case where “forever and ever” is the translation, “unto the ages of ages” is the literal wording, which has no end. The manuscripts and Bible Numerics prove this to be the case. (Rev.14:11) and the smoke of their torment goeth up for ever and ever (unto the ages of ages); and they have no rest day and night, they that worship the beast and his image, and whoso receiveth the mark of his name. There is no end to the fiery punishment. Many will receive the mark because of this false doctrine. That means that God would die if it were only a period of time. Notice in (Rev.15:7) And one of the four living creatures gave unto the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever. So if they are correct, using the same words, when these people come out of hell, God dies. If it were only a period of time in the following verses, the devil, beast, and false prophet would come out of the lake of fire at the end of that time. (Rev.20:10) And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where are also the beast and the false prophet; and they shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. Even though many Reconciliationists say they do not believe the devil will be saved, according to this doctrine, he has to be. If there is an end to his torment, God will die for the same phrase is used for the longevity of each. They say that “forever,” Greek: “aionios”, meaning “unto the ages”, is for a period of time, but the Kingdom will cease if that is true. We are told forever is without end. (Luk.1:33) and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. Vines says this is a Greek Idiom; i.e., an expression whose meaning cannot be derived from the elements of the word. Idioms can always be explained by their usage in the text. If one said, “After he kicked the bucket, I went to the funeral”, you know that “kicked the bucket” means death. It is so with the Greek word for “for ever” or “eternal”. Forever is clearly set apart from a period of time in this verse: (Phm.15) For perhaps he was therefore parted [from thee] for a season, that thou shouldest have him for ever. Clearly “for ever” is far more than a period of time. They also say eternal, which is the same Greek word, “aionios”, meaning “unto the ages”, and has no end. (Joh.10:28) and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand. Clearly the elect only are eternal and eternal is clearly set apart from a period of time in this verse: (2 Cor.4:18) while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal (temporary or for a season); but the things which are not seen are eternal. If eternal is only a period of time, then at the end of that period, the wicked come out of hell and God and the righteous die. (Mat.25:46) And these shall go away into eternal punishment: but the righteous into eternal life. If “eternal” is only a period of time, then, according to this doctrine, God, the Holy Spirit, the Kingdom of God, the new body, etc., would come to an end; but God is also immortal, i.e., deathless (1 Timothy 6:16); the Holy Spirit is eternal (Hebrews 9:14); the Kingdom is eternal (2 Peter 1:11); and the new body, which is also immortal, i.e., deathless, is eternal (1 Cor­inthians 15:52,53; 2 Corinthians 5:1). Here is the clincher: Those who do not have eternal life will “not see life”. (Joh.3:36) He that believeth on the Son hath eternal life (Greek: aionios; “unto the ages”); but he that obeyeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him. We can't twist those words. “Not see life” clearly means never. Those who have eternal sin “never” get forgiveness. (Mar.3:29) but whosoever shall blaspheme against the Holy Spirit hath never forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin. Once again, we can't twist those words. Reconciliationists use the following verse to claim that “eternal” has an end. (Rom.16:25) Now to him that is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which hath been kept in silence through times eternal, (26) but now is manifested, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God. There is no end of eternity, just as God here is eternal, but there are points in eternity when things are manifested like the revelation of Christ here. From our point of view, eternity goes into the past and into the future. Something may be eternally future without being eternally past. For instance, we have eternal life because we entered into eternity. The spiritual man in Jesus is eternal for he came out of God. His flesh had a beginning for He was sown of God and born of Mary.  And even before that He was “the beginning of the creation of God” and “the first-born of all creation”. This was a point in eternity. When other terminology is used in the Word as we have seen, the Ultimate Reconciliationists are at a loss. (Isa.66:24) And they shall go forth, and look upon the dead bodies of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh. Clearly the wicked souls do not die for they are in eternal fire. (Job.5:6) How much less man, that is a worm! And the son of man, that is a worm! Which will not come out of fire. (Mar.9:47) ... it is good for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell; (48) where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. Notice that using different words they will always be in fire. (Psa.49:19) He shall go to the generation of his fathers; They shall never see the light. Again using other words they will never see the light of truth. They also say, “everlasting” is a period of time, but as we can see, it has no end! (Jer.20:11) But Jehovah is with me as a mighty one [and] a terrible: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail; they shall be utterly put to shame, because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonor which shall never be forgotten. Everlasting here is clearly eternal. When I was younger, “Ultimate Reconciliation” was often called the “Restoration of All Things,” taken from the KJV. (Acts 3:21) whom the heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things (Things is not in the original Greek.), whereof God spake by the mouth of His holy prophets that have been. Restoration here is “apokatastasis,” meaning “back in order”. Only God's people can go back to order because the rest never had order. Notice that when the Lord returns after the Tribulation, the “restoration of all” of His elect is completed. At that time, He is not restoring the wicked but destroying them. (Rev.19:15) And out of his mouth proceedeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty. Even a thousand years later, when all the wicked are resurrected at the Great White Throne judgment, they are taken from hell and thrown in the lake of fire (Revelation 20:7-15). That makes it clear that “all” is all of the elect, not all people, as even the Jews understood. To the Jews, “all” meant all of the elect. It is the same today. All of the elect, but without racial distinction, classes or conditions of people, rather than just physical Jews. All Israel is all elect Jews and Gentiles who are grafted into the olive tree (Romans 11:19-24,26), not those who are broken off. Compare the “all” in Mark 1:5 and Luke 7:29-30, where “all” is clearly the elect. The “all” whom the Father gives to Jesus are the elect in John 17:6,9 and in John 6:37,45. We see the same thing when we look at John 8:2, Acts 22:15, 2 Corinthians 3:2 and 1 Corinthians 15:22. Compare Romans 12:3 and 2 Thessalonians 3:2. Read 1 Timothy 2:6, Colossians 3:11 and Matthew 20:28. Jesus came to save only all of His own (Isaiah 53:8,11; Luke 1:68,77; Romans 9:21). God is not wishing that any of His people perish (2 Peter 3:9). (Rom.9:11) For [the children] being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth, (12) it was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. (13) Even as it is written, Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated. Reconciliationists say that God unconditionally loves the whole world and could not fail to save it. They like to use this verse as proof. (Joh.3:16) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life. Yet, God clearly specifies what part of the world He loves here as “whosoever believeth”. Jesus disagreed with their interpretation of this verse. (Joh.14:21) He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself unto him. (22) Judas (not Iscariot) saith unto him, Lord, what is come to pass that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? (23) Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. (Joh.15:10) If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. (15:14) Ye are my friends, if ye do the things which I command you. Here's even more proof from the Word: (Rom.9:13) Even as it is written, Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated. (Psa.5:5) The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight: Thou hatest all workers of iniquity. (Psa.11:5) Jehovah trieth the righteous; But the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth. (Pro.6:16-19) There are six things which Jehovah hateth; Yea, seven which are an abomination unto him: (17) Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood; (18) A heart that deviseth wicked purposes, Feet that are swift in running to mischief, (19) A false witness that uttereth lies, And he that soweth discord among brethren. (Pro.8:17) I love them that love me; And those that seek me diligently shall find me. (Hos.9:15) All their wickedness is in Gilgal; for there I hated them: because of the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of my house; I will love them no more; all their princes are revolters. Friends, we cannot make God's love a worldly love. God would not be love if He permitted the wicked into His Kingdom to leaven the whole lump. God does not dwell in time and can, therefore, love by faith the elect whom He foreknew and foreordained. (Rom.9:11) for [the children] being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth, (12) it was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. (13) Even as it is written, Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated. (Psa. 11:5) Jehovah trieth the righteous; But the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth. God's people who live in sin will prove themselves called but not chosen, and He will love them no more. (Hos.9:15) All their wickedness is in Gilgal; for there I hated them: because of the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of my house; I will love them no more; all their princes are revolters. This is not traditional, but I hope I've made it clear. (1 Cor.15:22) For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. Ultimate reconciliationists use this verse to say that those in Adam, the whole natural man creation, and those in Christ, the whole spiritual man creation, are the same people, so therefore God will save all. However, the next verse narrows those “in Christ” to those who are His at His coming. (23) But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; then they that are Christ's, at his coming. As most know, when Jesus comes, He will eternally destroy the wicked who were obviously not in Him. (2 Thes.1:7) and to you that are afflicted rest with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with the angels of his power in flaming fire, (8) rendering vengeance to them that know not God, and to them that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus: (9) who shall suffer punishment, [even] eternal destruction from the face of the Lord....   PREDESTINED AND CHOSEN Let us see who the full measure of those in Christ are, and also if God ever planned to reconcile all of Adam's seed. “Predestine” means “to determine destiny before it happens”. “Foreordain”, which is the same Greek word, means “to ordain an event before it takes place”. (Eph.1:4) even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before him in love: (5) having foreordained us unto adoption as sons through Jesus Christ unto himself, according to the good pleasure of his will. You who are manifesting sonship by bearing fruit have been chosen and are being drawn by God. (Rom.8:29) For whom he foreknew, he also foreordained (predestined) [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. God foreknew and decreed all who come to the likeness of Jesus, but not the apostate. “Foreknew” here does not mean that He looked into the future and saw what we would be. “Foreknew” here means “to know before” and is not connected with actions or events, but persons. God knew these people before the foundation of the world because He does not dwell in time. God conceives and knows what He creates before He speaks it into existence, just as we conceive and design something first in our mind before we make it. “Knew” speaks of intimate knowledge; for instance, Adam knew Eve. Jesus will say to those who called Him Lord but do not do the will of the Father, (Mat.7:23) “And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you (I.e.,from the foundation of the world): depart from me, ye that work iniquity”. To the foolish virgins who had not the oil of the Spirit, Jesus said, “I know you not”. The ones that God intimately knew He “foreordained” before the creation to be conformed to the image of Jesus. God is creating us through His gift of faith and grace and His Word in us. These are the people on the narrow road. This is grace. (Rom.8:30) and whom he foreordained, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. We see here that all who are foreordained will be called, justified, and glorified. They will not fall away but will bear the fruit of Christ. Are there others who are called but not foreordained? Let us see. (2 Tim.1:9) who saved us, and called us with a holy calling … Notice that only the saved are called. “Called” is from the Greek word “kaleo”, which means “to invite”. “Called” is an invitation given only to God's people (for more proof, read Hebrews 3:1; Hosea 11:1; 1 Timothy 6:11,12; Matthew 25:14; Romans 1:6,7) to partake of His heavenly benefits in Christ in order to bear fruit. Those who bear fruit 30-, 60-, or 100-fold will be proven to be the chosen, or picked. Naturally, if at harvest time you have no fruit, rotten fruit, or unripe fruit, you will not be picked. The called are the vineyard of God (Isaiah 5:7). The chosen are the much smaller percentage who bear fruit (verse 10). (Mat.22:14) For many are called, but few chosen (Greek: eklektos; “elect”). The “called” can fall, but the elect or chosen will not ultimately. (Hos.11:1) When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt. (2) The more [the prophets] called them, the more they went from them .... The Lord saved those who ate the lamb and were baptized in the Red Sea. He then tried them in the wilderness to see who would be a believer in the midst of trials, and only those entered the Promised Land. Jude warned the called of this very thing. (Jud.1) Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are called ... (5) Now I desire to put you in remembrance, though ye know all things once for all, that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. Notice that the called were saved, but some did not continue in faith to bear fruit and were destroyed. Friends, God is not looking for what we loosely call “Christians”, but believers or disciples, as they were called. Jesus gave us very clear examples of His servants who are called but do not come and partake in order to bear fruit. Jesus shared a parable in which a king made a marriage feast for His son. (Mat.22:3) … and sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden (Greek: “called”) to the marriage feast: and they would not come. They were full of excuses (a farm, merchandise, a new wife, etc.). (Mat.22:8) Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they that were bidden were not worthy. Even one who appeared to come did not have on a wedding garment, which implies putting on Christ (Romans 13:14) or putting on righteous acts (Revelation 19:8). (Mat.22:13) Then the king said to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and cast him out into the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. (14) For many are called, but few chosen. A few of the called are chosen or elect because they bear fruit. (Mat.25:14) For [it is] as [when] a man, going into another country, called his own servants (Greek: “bondservants”), and delivered unto them his goods. (15) And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his several ability; and he went on his journey. Obviously, the man who went away was the Lord, and His bondservants are His people. Two of these example servants brought forth fruit of the talent given them (Matthew 25:20-22), but one buried his in the earth (used his talent for the earthly, Matthew 25:24,25). When our Lord returns, He will say, “And cast ye out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth” (Mat.25:30). The apostle Paul, who said of himself that he was called in Galatians 1:6, also said, “But I buffet my body, and bring it into bondage: lest by any means, after that I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected” (That's the Greek word for “reprobated”) (1 Cor.9:27). There is much more proof that the saved and the called can fall. Some good examples are 2 Peter 1:9-11; 1 Timothy 6:11,12; Hebrews 3:1,6,12,14, and Romans 11:1-7,19-23. Friend, you probably know if you are called, but are you chosen? You must be diligent in your walk of faith to prove this with fruit. (2Pe.1:10) Wherefore, brethren, give the more diligence to make your calling and election (“choosing”) sure: for if ye do these things (the attributes of Christ listed in verses 5-7), ye shall never stumble: (11) for thus shall be richly supplied unto you the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. God, at the cross, has already given us everything that we need to bear fruit through faith. (3) Seeing that his divine power hath granted unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that called us by his own glory and virtue; (4) whereby he hath granted unto us his precious and exceeding great promises; that through these ye may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust. Faith in the promises through the midst of trials will give us the fruit. The called have the power and the opportunity. The called and the chosen, or foreordained, use the power by faith and take the opportunity. The only ones who will ultimately be with the Lord are identified in this verse. (Rev.17:14) These shall war against the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings; and they [also shall overcome] that are with him, called and chosen and faithful. Notice that the called who are chosen will be faithful. I did not make these verses up; they are the Word of God. Those who have eyes and ears will see and understand, but the rest will justify their religion and ignore the Scriptures. Before time and the future, God sovereignly spoke the end from the beginning, bringing these things into existence in time. Some would argue, “How could God make a promise to all of His called and then not keep it for those who do not bear fruit?” The answer is that every promise in the Bible is useless until someone walks by faith in it. Our part of the covenant is faith; God's part is power and salvation. We can break the covenant through unbelief. (Num.14:11) And the Lord said unto Moses, How long will this people despise me? and how long will they not believe in me, for all the signs which I have wrought among them? (12) I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a nation greater and mightier than they. Notice that God is saying this to His own people who did not believe that He would disinherit them. Lest any believe that God cannot make a promise and then take it back when they do not walk in faith, pay attention to this: (Num.14:23) surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that despised me see it. (30) surely ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware that I would make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. (34) and ye shall know my alienation (Hebrew: “revoking of my promise”). Unless we mix faith with God's promises, they are void. (Heb.4:2) For indeed we have had good tidings preached unto us, even as also they (God's people): but the word of hearing did not profit them, because it was not united by faith with them that heard. Many Israelites walked in sin and were disinherited and blotted out of God's book. (Exo.32:33) And the Lord said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book. The same is true of the Christians who do not overcome sin. Notice what the Lord said to the church. (Rev.3:5) He that overcometh shall thus be arrayed in white garments; and I will in no wise blot his name out of the book of life... They will be rejected from the body of Christ. (Rev.3:16) So because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spew thee out of my mouth. Many of God's people, Israel, were broken off because of unbelief, and Christians who were grafted in but do not walk by faith will be too. (Rom.11:20) Well; by their unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by thy faith. Be not highminded, but fear: (21) for if God spared not the natural branches, neither will he spare thee. (22) Behold then the goodness and severity of God: toward them that fell, severity; but toward thee, God's goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. Those who are still grafted in at the end are called “all Israel”… (26) and so all Israel shall be saved... Those who are still in the Book of Life, still grafted in, are the elect (Greek: “chosen”). (Rom.11:2) God did not cast off his people, which he foreknew ... (5) Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election (Greek: “chosen”) of grace. A remnant is the ones who are left. Notice that they are foreknown and chosen. Sovereign God will have those who are truly His. Abiding in Christ is where salvation is. Some say God gave us the gift of eternal life so He cannot take it back. In Galatians 3:16, we are told, “To Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many, but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ”. So the promises were given to Christ, not to us individually. The only way the promises are ours is if we abide in Christ. Abiding in Christ is bearing fruit (John 15:1-6), walking as he walked (1 John 2:3-6), believing the same teachings given by Jesus and the apostles (1 John 2:24; Jude 3; Matthew 28:20), not adding or subtracting from the Word (Revelation 22:18,19), not walking in sin (1 John 3:5,6), and keeping his commandments (1 John 3:24). In Christ is the only place we can claim the gift of eternal life. (1Jn.5:11) ... God gave unto us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. God does not have to take His gift back; His people walk out of it. (1 Cor.6:18) ... Every sin that a man doeth is without the body ... When you walk in willful sin, you are not abiding in His body, for in him is no sin (1Jn.3:5). (6) Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not … For instance, fornication, whether spiritual or physical, takes away the members of Christ and makes them members of a harlot (1 Corinthians 6:15,18). Only Christ and those abiding in Him are chosen. (Eph. 1:4) Even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world... Only Christ and those abiding in Him are going to heaven. (Joh.3:13) And no one hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended out of heaven... Jesus Christ is the Manna from heaven, the Word, Who takes up residence in those who love Him; this is the fruit that God is coming to choose. By this time, I am sure some are thinking that they do not measure up. We must first abide in Christ by faith accepting the gospel report that “I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me: and that [life] which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, [the faith] which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me” (Gal.2:20). Those who walk by faith that they are dead to sin and Christ now lives in them are accounted as righteous until God uses that faith to manifest righteousness in them. (Gal.3:6) Even as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness. Amen. Next, I'd like to share with you a couple of testimonies from our website of people who received the revelation of the error in their thinking concerning their own salvation.   Coming Judgment on the Lukewarm Sandy - 01/15/2014 I had a dream that thousands of demons entered my bedroom, then jumped on me while I was in bed, devouring my flesh. I was totally paralyzed. I repeatedly shouted out, “You must flee, in the name of Jesus!” These demons continued to attack me. There was total darkness -- no Jesus. It was HORRIFYING. I felt as though I was in the pits of hell, and this is where my soul is going if I don't change my ways. Then I was whisked away, and I was standing in front of a large cross. From the center of the cross, a bright light was shining. I heard the Lord say to me, “Come to the cross. I did not hear or respond to your cries because you are not abiding in Me. Horrific evil is here, and more is coming, and if you do not abide in Me, you will be devoured. I will not hear nor respond to your cries, if you do not abide in me, and you will not be able to fight off this evil in your own strength”.  Then I was whisked back to my bed, where the demons were devouring me again. I was once again paralyzed. I breathed on them, saying, “Jesus”, and they eventually all fled. I woke up with tears streaming down my face, crying out to the Lord. Now, here is what is so IRONIC: I considered myself to be a born-again, saved Christian! Over the past few years, I've started to walk in the ways of the world, thinking it is okay because ‘I know the Lord loves me; I am a good person and I am saved.' How many other Christians are thinking in the same way? How many other Christians are not truly saved? I turned away from Jesus in my walk. It was a slow and subtle turning away, convincing myself all along the way that I can walk my walk, give the Lord ‘courtesy prayer' and everything will be okay. I WAS SO WRONG.  Thank You, LORD, for Your warning, as horrifying as it was. Thank You, LORD, for giving me another chance to make You Lord of my life.   My Salvation and Deliverance from Satanic Music James Austin - 07/08/2008 When I was a child and up to the age of 15, I had gone to some Baptist and Methodist churches off and on. I had even been what I believed at the time to be saved and baptized. I never really placed importance in my salvation as most Christians at the time. I was scared about hell, so I thought if I got saved, then I would go to heaven and still do whatever I wanted. When I was about 16, I cared only about the world and gave God no attention at all. I was associating with people who weren't Christian and listening to music that wasn't Godly. I began to stop believing that there was a God and didn't care if He even existed. A year and a half ago, I was up late one night and I had nothing to do and I started thinking about life and the world and I felt a sudden loneliness and sadness, and I looked up and said, “God, if You are real and Your Word is true, then help me; I want to know the truth.” I don't think it was even two weeks and God led a brother I work with by the name of Nehemiah to me to inquire about carpooling with me. By this time, I had forgotten about what I had asked God. I was still listening to satanic music and living very worldly. The first week he rode with me to work, I didn't play any music because I began to feel ashamed and did not want people to know which music I listened to. At this time, I didn't know Nehemiah was a Christian. A few weeks later, someone else with whom we were carpooling informed me that Nehemiah was a Christian. Then I really felt low and inadequate to be around him. One day, I was looking at some space nebula and stuff, and I saw what looked like Jesus' face in one of these objects in space. Then I started thinking about God even more. I asked Nehemiah one day about it, and we began talking, and he told me some things the Bible spoke of. Then, after about two weeks of talking and debating with him, he led me to your website, and I started reading and listening to some of your stuff and became very fearful of where I was headed. That morning when I got home from work, I cried to God to forgive me and save me. I confessed to so many evil things I had done and wept, and then felt a peace come over me. I have been reading and listening to your programs and teachings ever since, and I feel the Holy Spirit every time I do. God began to work in me, and I bought your “Sovereign God” book and an ASV Bible. Now I have the New Testament on audio, and I only have the desire to listen to music that glorifies God, and I listen and read the Word of God. I have lost the desire to watch all TV programs because I can now see the sinful nature of TV and how TV glorifies sin. I believe God has saved me and He also healed me from plantar fasciitis (a painful tendon injury) by faith alone. Glory to God! God Bless you, brothers and sisters. I don't listen to evil music, and I feel better inside. God has really changed me. Thank you! I had sent an email about my wife a while ago, but I couldn't remember if I had ever given my testimony to you. My wife is still an unbeliever, but I continue to pray for her salvation. I believe that one day God, in some way, will also save her.

This week, we sit down with the incomparable Bridget O'Donnell — multi-instrumentalist, singer, poet, painter, and hands-down the kindest podcast fan we've ever met. When we hit a moment of doubt about the value of this show, Bridget took days to write us the most thoughtful, deeply researched, personal email. It was a genuine work of art — one that shifted our entire perception of what we're doing here. Naturally, we had to invite her on the podcast.   In this heartfelt conversation, Bridget shares her creative journey and how she found her people through Curiosity Club, Togetherland open mics, and the broader community of artists who gather around curiosity and experimentation. She talks about the contrast between her day job in the military and her life as an artist, how “living slowly” has become her steadying philosophy, and why taking one small step at a time is her best advice for anyone pursuing a creative dream.   We talk about our friendship, family, and the power of letting others know how you feel. Bridget reminds us of what truly matters — showing up, paying attention, and letting creativity lead the way. We are forever grateful for her presence in our lives and for the spirit of generosity she brings to every room she enters.   Watch this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mikeandkristen   Join our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/mikeandkristen   Us on the web: www.mikeandkristen.ca Instagram: www.instagram.com/mike_and_kristen/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mikeandkristencreative Shoot us a message!

Recorded December 5, 2025 As December pretends to be festive while refusing to fully commit to Christmas, the AV SuperFriends gather to celebrate that special time of year when inboxes are ignored, productivity is optional, and every project update is deferred. Naturally, this means the conversation focuses on patent lawsuits, seasonal anxiety, and the true meaning of future-proof… which, as it turns out, might actually mean sealed in concrete for eternity. From Barco's latest courtroom adventure to the existential question of who actually owns and maintains the hundreds of learning spaces PCs on campus, the panel wanders joyfully into topics no one planned for but everyone has opinions about. Sprinkle in questionable NDI workflows, a debate over whether ServiceNow stories should start with "Once upon a time," and at least one visceral reaction to USB extenders, and you've got yourself a classic AVSF experience.   News story: https://www.ravepubs.com/barco-yealink-patent-verdict-clickshare/   AI-generated alternate show titles Once Upon a ServiceNow Ticket Future-Proofed… and Future-Ruined Legal AV: The Trend Nobody Wanted The Great PC Custody Battle Reserved, Reversed, Whatever; Lawyers Are Involved NDI, USB, and Other Seasonal Nightmares December: Now Technically Christmas-Adjacent   Far superior human-created alternate show titles: It depends, it's diapers Immensely reserved Buckets are bigger than cans Future proof Zip tied off to all these rafters A hot dog is not a sandwich You seem to have it made here It happens so magical I don't know all the details We can biotrack 'em We have one support desk except for the… What do you mean by general support?

Most people blame posture for their neck and shoulder pain, but research shows the real root cause is often hormones, not mechanics. In this episode, Ben explains how cortisol, thyroid hormones, sex hormones, insulin, and even growth hormone can lock your muscles into chronic tension and why most doctors miss these connections. You'll learn how stress hormones alter pain pathways, increase inflammation, and create tight traps, stiff necks, and burning shoulders. Ben breaks down a simple daily Cortisol Calm Protocol using breathwork, post-meal walking, a no-stimulation hour, and gratitude to quickly shift your body out of fight-or-flight. He then exposes the deep link between an underactive thyroid and muscle aches, frozen shoulder, fatigue, and chronic stiffness — plus which full thyroid panel to request from your doctor (not just TSH). Next, he explains why women 40–60 experience sharp increases in joint pain during perimenopause and menopause due to changes in estrogen that affect lubrication, cartilage, strength, and inflammation. You'll also hear why people with insulin resistance or diabetes are five times more likely to develop frozen shoulder. High insulin creates stiff connective tissue and slows healing. Ben gives practical metabolic strategies: lower carbs, test fasting insulin, walk after meals, strength train, and use intermittent fasting. The episode closes with the overlooked role of deep sleep and growth hormone in tissue repair. Poor sleep dramatically reduces recovery, while fasting and strength training boost growth hormone naturally. FREE GUIDE: How To Lose 1 Pound Of Fat Per Day HERE -https://bit.ly/48AYCfC

The expression “famous last words” applies to guest Emily Haynes. “One day you will be dean of women,” an associate dorm supervisor once playfully predicted. Emily adamantly replied, “Absolutely not!” Yet the Lord steadily guided her from teaching piano into the conjectured dean of women position. She and host Dr. Matt Davis review that process. Joining the Student Life Office as a dorm supervisor in 2010, she learned the one surprising rule—every day you must laugh. Emily enjoys her work, which mainly entails counseling and discipleship, though it includes a modicum of discipline too. She explains varied aspects of the dual mentorship role of working with students and dorm supervisors. Naturally, she partners with parents as well, assuring them of attentive student care. Maranatha's supportive environment “ought to be pretty reassuring to parents,” Dr. Davis observes, “once you describe all the different things we have in place to help their students thrive.” Now a 15-year veteran, Emily insists, “The rule still applies; there is laughter every day.”

In this episode of Walk In Victory, host NaRon Tillman delves into the concept of organic intelligence with guest Steve Hoskinson.

The conversation covers how trauma and negative emotions can be reprocessed through mindfulness and sensory engagement with the environment.Hoskinson explains the importance of reconnecting with our biological rhythms and the natural world to foster healing and well-being. The episode emphasizes that true healing is an internal process, supported by science and spirituality. The speakers also touch on the significance of compassion, non-judgment, and community in achieving emotional health. They conclude by discussing the power of nature and positive reflection in overcoming life's challenges.Steve Hoskinson is the founder of Organic Intelligence and a leading expert in trauma healing through somatic practices.Time Line00:00 Introduction to Integrative Healing00:55 The Nature of Emotional Healing02:06 Meet NaRon Tillman and Today's Master02:35 The Concept of Organic Intelligence05:23 The Role of Love Language in Healing07:46 Connecting to the Present Through Senses14:20 The Importance of Non-Judgment16:26 Steve's Personal Journey to Healing19:47 The Power of Positive Reflection22:22 Navigating Challenging Times with Hope25:51 Conclusion and Call to Action26:48 The Healing Power of NatureGuest links:https://organicintelligence.org/https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevenhoskinson/https://www.instagram.com/getoi/https://www.youtube.com/@OrganicintelligenceOrghttps://x.com/getoi_https://www.facebook.com/TraumaSafeBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/walk-in-victory--4078479/support.

Whim Productions' World Premiere of "My Kid's Christmas Program" is Chaotic Holiday Fun Whim Productions, KC's LGBTQ+ theater company, is putting on a holiday program! But in My Kid's Christmas Program, written by Kevin King, the tinsel's tangled, the pageant's off the rails, and Miss Peach's Academy has lost its auditorium. You're invited to the annual holiday pageant for Miss Peach's Academy. Forced to relocate to Whim Space after a series of mishaps, the “kids” (played by adults) are ready to belt and blunder their way through a holiday pageant like no other. It's the holiday program you remember... just with more sass, irreverence, and emotional baggage. A delightfully twisted immersive experience for the grown-ups who survived grade-school pageants. There are only five performances of this fourth-wall-breaking, silly, and unserious production, and no two are exactly alike. Catch the holiday spirit while you can! Content Advisory: Suggested for ages 16+. Ticket Information: • Full-price tickets start at $30. Pay What You Whim pricing is available on select dates. • Tickets are available now at whimproductions.org.

VULPES BASTILLE is an artist-run space in Kansas City's East Crossroads that houses twelve studios and hosts monthly exhibitions selected through an open call. Located in a 100-year-old renovated dancehall, Vulpes Bastille offers an expansive platform for the community to create and display work, with an emphasis on experimental projects, emerging voices, and students. Vulpes Bastille has remained a fortress for Kansas City's creative community since 2012. This month, Vulpes Bastille proudly presents two new exhibitions Please Don't Touch the Art and At Least You Can't Be Sad If There Are Balloons. Please Don't Touch the Art, featuring more than 50 staff members of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art organized by Nora Snyder. Please Don't Touch the Art is a group exhibition featuring more than fifty employees of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. From security guards and custodians to administrative assistants and art handlers, the staff of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art keeps the museum running smoothly for the benefit of the people of Kansas City. But what the public doesn't get to see is that members of the museum staff often harbor artistic talents of their own. Naturally, the museum draws a community of caretakers who love art and devote their lives to it in more than one sense. Organized by artist and museum employee Nora Snyder, Please Don't Touch the Art showcases the diverse and extraordinary talents of the NAMA staff. Currently on view Closing Reception: Monday, December 22, 6 - 9 pm At Least You Can't Be Sad If There Are Balloons, a solo exhibition of 17 self-portrait paintings by Corey Green. In my work, I use balloons as a powerful symbol of the pressure and trials that have shaped my life—experiences that have stretched me to my limits and at times, deflated me. Balloons, filled with air, reflect moments of tension and build-up, but they also speak to the inevitable deflation that follows. For me, the image of a balloon is both a metaphor for resilience and vulnerability: the pressure of life pushing me to expand, only to be followed by the emptiness and raw exposure that comes when that pressure subsides or bursts. My work is an invitation to reflect on these moments of transformation—how pressure, release, and deflation are not signs of weakness, but steps in a continual process of transformation and survival. Currently on view Closing Reception: Wednesday, December 17, 6:30 - 8:30 pm (on view until Monday, December 22) Both shows will be on view through December 22, with gallery hours from Sundays 1-4 pm. You can also email us to schedule an appointment. On Wednesday, December 17 from 6:30 - 8:30 pm, we invite you to Corey Green's half-birthday party and the closing reception for At least you can't be sad if there are balloons. The artists will host a closing reception for Please Don't Touch the Art on Monday, December 22 from 6-9 pm. Also this month, on Saturday, December 13 from 7-8 pm, we're co-hosting a Poetry Reading with Bear Review featuring Clayton Adam Clark and Ruth Williams. Vulpes Bastille is located at 1737 Locust St. KCMO www.vulpesbastille.com Gallery Hours: First Fridays 6-9 PM Sundays 1-4 PM By Appointment

I'm your host, Kate Shaw. This week we're going to talk about a few types of camouflage, a suggestion by Måns, and we'll also talk about some camouflaged animals suggested by Sam, Owen and Aksel, Dylan, and Nina. There are lots of types of camouflage, not all of it visual in nature. Back in episode 191 we talked about some toxic moths that generate high-pitched clicks that bats hear, recognize, and avoid. Naturally, some non-toxic moths also generate the same sounds to mimic the toxic moths. Måns specifically suggested cryptic coloration, also called crypsis. It's a type of camouflage that allows an animal to blend into their surroundings, which can involve multiple methods. Some animals have cryptic coloration mainly along the edges of the body, to defeat a skill many predators use called edge detection. A lot of amphibians and reptiles have patches surrounded by an outline, with dark patches having a darker outline and light patches having a lighter outline. This acts as disruptive camouflage, hiding the outline of an animal's body as it moves around. Some animals take this camouflage even further, with a way to hide their own shadow. This is the case with the mossy leaf-tailed gecko, which is native to the forests of eastern Madagascar. It can grow up to 8 inches long, or 20 cm, not counting its tail, and it's nocturnal. Its tail is flat and broad, sort of shaped like a leaf, but it doesn't disguise itself as a leaf. The mossy leaf-tailed gecko has a complicated gray and brown pattern that looks like tree bark, and it can change its coloration a little bit to help it blend in even more. At night it's well hidden in tree branches as it climbs around looking for insects, but in the day it needs to hide really well to avoid becoming some other animal's snack while it's sleeping. It does this by finding a comfortable branch and flattening its body and tail against it so that it just looks like another part of the branch. But to make it even more hidden, it has a flap of skin along its sides that wraps even farther around the branch. Not only do these skin flaps hide its edges, it hides its shadow, since the flaps are really flat and there's no curved edge of a lizard belly pressed against a branch that a predator might notice. The most common kind of cryptic coloration is called countershading, and it's so common that you might not even have noticed it although you see it almost every time you see a fish, amphibian, reptile, and many birds and mammals. Countershading is an animal that's darker on top and lighter underneath, like a brown mouse with a white belly. It's even found in some insects and other invertebrates. Countershading is another way to hide a shadow. If a dolphin, for instance, was gray all over, its underside would look darker because of shadows, since sunlight shines down from the sky and makes shadows underneath the body. That would make its body shape look rounder, meaning it stands out more and a predator would notice it more easily. But most dolphins are pale gray or even white underneath.

Wyatt MichaelTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Wyatt Michael. My wife and I saw Wyatt perform live at a jazz club in San Antonio and I just had to get him on the show. In this episode, we get to know about Wyatt's early years singing in a rock band, and how he discovered jazz and the American Standards. He lets me play one of his songs from that rock band so we can get an idea of what he USED to sound like. Then we dive into his love affair with the Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Michael Buble style of music. He shares funny stories about some of his first live gigs in this new style, as well as 'The Curse of the First Dance'. Next, we get into his time on the NBC reality competition show The Voice. Wyatt explains how he came to be part of the show, what his experience was like, and some behind the scenes tidbits. Naturally, I ask if I can play a song that he wrote and performed in this crooning style, that I just adore. of course, we cover his recent move to Las Vegas, and where he can be found belting out the great American Songbook.

My first ocean cruise was a cruise from New York City to Bermuda. I'd never been on a big ocean liner before. Although I've done a couple other ocean cruises since then, I'm not really a fan. I love exploring, and there is only so much exploring you can do on a ship in the middle of the ocean. But on this first cruise, I did love the feeling of being in the middle of the vastness of the ocean with nothing but water all around. The feeling of not having any landmarks - literally - was a little exhilarating and more than a little awe-inspiring. Naturally, I wasn't really frightened; I assumed, logically and correctly, that the captain and crew knew where we were heading and how to get there. I myself wouldn't have had a clue, but I never doubted that I could rely on them to get me safely to Bermuda and back. Nautical navigation is a mystery to me, and I was impressed by the notion that all the power and energy of the ship would have been useless if the captain hadn't set a direction and followed that direction with purpose. And that ties in with what I want to talk about with you today - the power of purpose. Our energy, our passion for playing the harp, is useless without a purpose. As I see it, purpose has two important ingredients. One is directional. When we have a goal we want to accomplish, we need to have a clear idea of how to get from here to there. This gives our practice a purpose every day. But purpose also encompasses meaning, specifically what our harp journey means to us. Without that meaning, our goals will not be as personally compelling and our progress will not be as swift. This is about our passion for playing the harp, not passion in a dramatic way, but simply our deeply felt conviction that we love playing the harp.  Today, I'd like to help you consider your passion and your purpose, and how you can align them to make progress faster and to make both the process and the results more easily achievable and more deeply fulfilling. Real progress in our playing comes from the alignment of our energies and passion - the ship in my example - with a direction and of course, the courage to pursue it.  So if you're feeling ready to be a little courageous with me, let's get started.

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITHeadlines shouldn't need a decoder ring, yet here we are: fee-free national park days get rearranged, and suddenly a calendar becomes a battleground for identity and memory. We unpack why swapping in a presidential birthday while removing MLK Day and Juneteenth stings far beyond the ticket booth, and how media framing can turn policy tweaks into cultural flashpoints. No yelling, no spin—just a clear walk through what symbols signal and why people care.Then we pivot from outrage to absurd delight: the “trashed panda” raccoon who blacked out in a liquor store and somehow inspired three official cocktails. It's a hilarious snapshot of our attention economy at work, where even chaos gets branded and sold. We talk about why these viral moments spread, how humor lets us breathe, and what it says about the incentives driving everything from news cycles to marketing playbooks.Finally, we bring it home with something more intimate: Kate Winslet's decision to age naturally and a heartfelt check-in on beauty standards, Botox, and the pressure to edit ourselves into perfection. We share a candid, first-person perspective on stepping away from injections, embracing lines and lived-in hands, and pushing back on the feed's demand for eternal youth. The conversation closes with a soft landing in nostalgia—Rudolph, misfit toys, and the claymation classics that made winter TV feel like a hug—because sometimes the best antidote to a noisy day is a simple story that still glows.If this mix of culture, humor, and honesty hits home, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review. Tell us where you stand on the park-day shuffle, the “trashed panda” lore, and how you're defining beauty on your own terms.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREE Thanks for listening!

Despite any gripes with Xbox this year, there's no denying that 2026 presents a fun challenge for them. Fable, Forza Horizon 6, Halo, and Gears Of War E-Day are all slated to drop next year. However, a new wrinkle has been introduced in the ambitious RPG, Clockwork Revolution, which hails from inXile Entertainment. After a seven minute trailer from this summer's showcase, we felt this thing had to be ready to go soon. Sadly, the RPG titan tempered our expectations when the trailer ended with the familiar statement from its initial reveal: "Coming in due time." Well, if a LinkedIn profile is to be believed, Clockwork Revolution may join the fray of a busy year for the "biggest publisher in gaming." Naturally, we hone in on GTA 6 which creates a splash radius so large that every publisher will be avoiding them for the fall. How Xbox navigates this will be interesting as we have yet to consider overdue titles like State Of Decay 3 and third party deals. Buckle up, friends! It's going to be a wild ride.

Hey there! It's Michael here - and welcome back to Speak Naturally in a Minute from Happy English. I'm here every Sunday with a quick one-point lesson to help you improve your pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation.  And if you want to watch this lesson, just look for Happy English Podcast on YouTube.Today, let's continue our discussion of reduction in American English, you know, when we shorten or soften sounds when we speak. Can't you, Aren't you, and ain;t you are usually pronounced as can'cha, aren'cha, and ain'chaWhen we say can't you, the T of can't blends with the Y of you. Can't you becomes can'cha.  “Can'cha see that?,”  “Can'cha hear me?,”  “Can'cha stay a little longer?”And when we say aren't you, the T in aren't also blends with the Y of you. Aren't you becomes aren'cha. “Aren'cha coming to the party?,” “Aren'cha ready?” “Aren'cha going home soon?”And finally, It's the same with ain't you. The T in ain't also blends with the Y of you.

In this episode, we're learning from Daniel Lauber, founder of CERVO Mountain Resort, in a conversation with our innovation correspondent Matthias Huettebraeuker about reimagining what hospitality can be today. Daniel shares how CERVO evolved from a modern hunting lodge concept into a holistic “way of living” rooted in community, culture, and connection. He explains why mindfulness and enjoying life can naturally coexist, what authenticity really means beyond alpine clichés, and how design, rituals, and programming can create meaningful spaces for guests, staff, and locals. For hospitality leaders, this episode offers a deeply thoughtful look at innovation, guest expectations, and the human side of building a resort that feels alive.

Vegas meets Bravo in this glittering special  as the couture power couple sit down with the fabulous Margaret Josephs of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Filmed at the luxurious Four Seasons Las Vegas, with podcast space sponsored by Scooter's Coffee, the conversation flows with laughter, candor, and plenty of caffeinated charm. Pol'—ever the non-drinker—sips rich Armenian coffee while Patrik enjoys something stronger, teasing their guest that her signature mocktail line, Soirée, could use “a splash of vodka.” Margaret laughs, explaining that Soirée celebrates inclusion and elegance: “I'm a non-judgy, non-drinker, but I want everyone to have fun together.” The trio reminisce about how they met before Margaret's RHONJ debut in 2017. She opens up about joining the show during a turbulent time marked by a $12 million lawsuit. “I came to Housewives with a business,” she reflects. “I needed to rebuild—and I did.” Pol' and Patrik celebrate her resilience: “Whether you're a housewife or not, you're a powerhouse.” From BravoCon buzz to Bravo tea, no topic is off-limits. Margaret comments on Teresa and Joe's reconciliation, celebrates Dolores's engagement, and spills the truth behind the reality: “It's not scripted. We're all Type A—real friendships, real fights.” Then comes the moment that will live in Undressed history—Margaret's “boob journey.” In her signature unfiltered style, she describes going from “cheeseburger nipples” to “Upper East Side socialite boobs” after a lift and reduction. “I went from a cheeseburger to a chicken nugget!” she jokes. Talk turns to semaglutide, weight loss, and honesty. “Don't say it's Pilates when it's Ozempic!” Pol' quips, and everyone roars. After the laughter, Pol' gently turns Margaret's cup to perform his renowned Armenian coffee cup reading—an ancient tradition that interprets a person's energy, emotions, and intentions through the shapes left in their coffee grounds. He sees symbols of strength and transformation, telling her: “You've climbed your mountain—it's time to enjoy the view.” A faint “snake” represents tension with someone once close, but Pol' assures her it signals peace and closure. When a number seven appears, Margaret beams: “Seven's always been lucky for me!” The tone turns tender as Patrik opens up about losing his mother and connects with Margaret over her legendary mom, Marge Sr. “She's more me than I am,” Margaret says affectionately. “She tells me, ‘Spend your last dollar on lipstick.'” The trio celebrate mothers, glamour, and unconditional love—the emotional heart of the episode. Naturally, fashion makes a grand return. Margaret admits to owning “a million fur coats” and invites Pol' to come take one, while praising Rago Brothers of Morristown for luxury repairs. Before wrapping, Pol' and Patrik share their big news: Season 5 of Gown and Out in Beverly Hills has launched in 68 countries. Margaret cheers them on and promises to celebrate in New Jersey—“If there's another reunion, Pol', you're doing my gown!” Brimming with glamour, laughter, and heart, this Vegas episode blends Bravo gossip, couture conversation, and authentic connection. Between honesty, humor, and an intuitive Armenian coffee reading, Undressed with Pol' Atteu & Patrik Simpson proves that friendship and fabulousness are always in style.

The trial of Brian Walshe is exposing a divide that runs straight through the center of the courtroom — a divide between a prosecution building its case with timestamps, metadata, and DNA, and a defense leaning into emotional possibility and human frailty. It's not just a legal battle. It's a narrative war. Prosecutors say the evidence speaks for itself: searches about body disposal in the early morning hours, trips to multiple stores buying tools that prosecutors argue were used to dispose of Anna, lies told to friends, family, and police, and physical evidence recovered from a trash facility far from home — evidence they say directly connects Brian to a deliberate cover-up. The defense counters with a different story entirely. They say Anna died suddenly. Naturally. Tragically. And Brian, terrified the authorities would seize his children, made the worst decision of his life — hiding her death instead of reporting it. Not planning. Not malice. Fear. But jurors must decide not just which story makes sense — but which story they can live with. Can sudden, unexplained death explain Google searches that happened before the alleged death window? Can panic explain purchasing gloves, masks, tarps, and cutting tools all over Massachusetts? Can panic explain a disposal process so elaborate it spanned multiple towns? The defense doesn't need a full acquittal. They just need one person willing to say, “I don't know. It's bizarre, but maybe.” That's the real battleground. Tonight we break down the evidence, the psychology, the storytelling, and the stakes — and ask the question that may decide this entire trial: How much doubt is enough? #BrianWalsheTrial #AnaWalshe #JuryDuty #CrimeStory #HiddenKillers #ForensicBreakdown #LegalExpert #TrueCrimeCommunity #CourtroomAnalysis #BobMottaDefenseDiaries Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode, Ben reveals three stupid-simple movements that activate fat loss in under five minutes a day — no gym, no sweating, no burpees. These moves target the three systems that slow down after 40: Lymphatic flow (your body's drainage + detox system) Insulin sensitivity (your fat-storage switch) Mitochondrial activation (your metabolic engine) You'll learn: • Why fat loss is harder after 40 (and what to do instead of “working harder”)• How cross-crawls stimulate lymph flow and full-body circulation• How a squat hold with mini pulses unlocks insulin sensitivity• How wall angels activate mitochondrial-rich postural muscles• Why hormones matter more than calories for sustainable fat loss• How to layer these movements with walking, breathwork, cold exposure, or your existing routine• Why doing them for 14 days straight can create visible changes• How to make the moves harder as your body adapts• Why these movements are especially powerful for those who are sedentary, insulin resistant, or over 40

In this episode, Ben Azadi reveals the earliest warning signs of kidney decline—signals that appear years before traditional labs detect a problem. He explains why kidneys can lose up to 80% of their function with no pain, what subtle symptoms to watch for, and how insulin resistance, inflammation, uric acid, dehydration, and NSAIDs silently damage the kidneys. Ben shares the 7 major early symptoms most people miss: foamy urine, fatigue, puffy eyes, lower back discomfort, metallic taste, itchy skin, and frequent nighttime urination. He then guides listeners through the Metabolic Freedom Kidney Reset Protocol, a research-backed plan to regenerate kidney health naturally. This includes the renal reset morning drink, removing fructose and seed oils, kidney-support supplements, fasting strategies, mineral support, and the daily “Vitamin G” gratitude practice. Ben also answers audience questions on hydration, protein intake, keto, and kidney stress. This episode is a must-listen for anyone wanting to protect their kidneys, reduce inflammation, support metabolic health, and catch problems early—before they become irreversible.

Why does happiness always feel one step away? In this episode, we welcome back positive psychology expert Jodi Wellman to explore why so many of us keep “moving the goalposts” on our own success, and learn why accomplishments that once thrilled us eventually feel ordinary. Jodi breaks down why we convince ourselves that one more thing — a new job, a relationship, a move, a big purchase — will finally deliver lasting happiness. Using Gabe's own podcasting journey as a case study, the conversation exposes a mental trap familiar to anyone who's ever felt like their wins “don't count” for long. But this episode isn't just about naming the problem — it's about fixing it. Jodi offers practical, research-backed strategies to help you savor your accomplishments, find a healthier balance between ambition and contentment, and stop letting your inner critic erase your progress. Listener takeaways why humans believe they're always “one thing away” from feeling fulfilled what the hedonic treadmill is and how it sabotages our happiness how to balance ambition with genuine joy so you can grow without feeling miserable If you've ever wondered, “Why don't I feel successful?” this is the episode that can finally help you understand. “We like to dupe ourselves. It's just one of the features of our psychology. It all comes down to this idea called the hedonic treadmill. We think, and we go for it. We'll buy the pill, we'll make the move, we'll take the job, we'll buy the car, we'll do a thing. And usually it's external stuff, but sometimes it's internal, like, I will become the person that I've been meant to be and that will make me happy. But then, because we adapt so well, this is this hedonic adaptation, hedonic treadmill, we adapt so reliably, damn it. And we end up, over time, some of us shorter than others. Naturally, meh. Okay, well, how come it's not doing it for me anymore?” ~Jodi Wellman, MAPP Our guest, Jodi Wellman, MAPP is a speaker, author, and facilitator on living lives worth living.
