The episode of Black Dragon Biker TV you're gearing up for mixes international youth gang drama, a heartfelt veteran tribute, and the real-world toll of social media creation—timely topics for raw discussion. Here's a breakdown with the latest details (as of February 20, 2026) to frame your show.Tokyo Mass Brawl & Teen ArrestsIncident: On February 19–20, 2025, a large-scale fight broke out in a housing complex in Fussa (western Tokyo suburbs). Around 40 members of the bosozoku (biker gang) Suiren (based in Sagamihara, Kanagawa Prefecture) clashed with 20 members of the delinquent group Kyowakai (or Kyokuwakai, based in Hachioji, Tokyo). The rivalry dates back years and involved weapons, leading to injuries among several teens.Arrests: Tokyo Metropolitan Police announced on February 19, 2026, the arrest of 23 boys (aged 16–18) on suspicion of assembling with dangerous weapons (a charge under Japanese law for group violence). The arrests followed a months-long investigation; no major new incidents in 2026, but police have intensified surveillance amid fears of renewed unrest.Context: Bosozoku (motorcycle gangs/delinquent youth groups) in Japan often involve modified bikes, loud exhausts, and territorial fights—echoing outlaw MC dynamics but more youth-oriented. This highlights ongoing youth gang issues in Japan, with police cracking down hard on weapons and assembly.Dandridge Motorcycle Group Gives Vietnam Vet One Last RideStory: On Thursday, February 19, 2026, a local motorcycle group in Dandridge, Tennessee (Jefferson County) organized a final ride for Vietnam Veteran Willard Fields, who is in hospice care. Fields (a Vietnam-era vet) rode in a sidecar or lead position with family and riders escorting him.Details: Organized with help from Caris Healthcare (Morristown hospice), the ride gave Fields and his family a memorable moment—his grandson-in-law described it as a powerful reminder of community support for veterans. Riders from the area joined to honor his service, with emotional scenes of gratitude and patriotism.Why it resonates: Heartwarming contrast to MC news—shows bikers' positive side in community service, veteran respect, and "one last ride" traditions common in riding groups.Mental, Physical, & Emotional Hazards of Being a Social Media Content CreatorThis is a growing concern in the creator economy—especially relevant for biker media folks dealing with comments, backlash, and constant posting. Recent studies and reports highlight:Mental/Emotional Hazards:High rates of anxiety, depression, burnout, and isolation (e.g., a 2025 Creators 4 Mental Health study found creators twice as likely to experience suicidal thoughts as the general U.S. population—10% linked to work pressures).Dopamine addiction from likes/views, leading to obsession over metrics, comparison (FOMO), and toxicity (cyberbullying, hate comments).Stress "bleeds" into offline life, harming relationships; emotion-focused coping (e.g., venting) vs. problem-focused (e.g., boundaries) often fails.Parasocial relationships with audiences can distort self-identity.Physical Hazards:Sedentary lifestyle → poor posture, eye strain, repetitive stress injuries (from filming/editing).Disrupted sleep from blue light/late-night posting.Neglected exercise/eating due to irregular schedules.Broader Impacts: Financial instability (chasing trends), body image issues (filtered content), and burnout from constant creation. Recommendations include platform income stability, peer communities, mental health resources, and setting boundaries (e.g., no metrics obsession).Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-dragon-s-lair-motorcycle-chaos--3267493/support.Sponsor the channel by signing up for our channel memberships.

Some residents took matters into their own hands to clean up a neglected street corner. Breakfast with Martin Bester praised the community members for this initiative, saying that sometimes the reality is that South African residents have to take matters into their own hands.

Scripture: Romans 14:13–15:7 Transformative Truth: Christian liberty is to be governed by love. How much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God. - Hebrews 9:14 The aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. - 1 Timothy 1:5 Christian liberty is to be governed by love. 1. For the sake of your brother 2. For the sake of Christ's body “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.” - Matthew 5:6 “I no longer count on my own righteousness through obeying the law; rather, I become righteous through faith in Christ. For God's way of making us right with himself depends on faith.” - Paul the Apostle (Philippians 3:9-10 NLT) Let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful. - Colossians 3:15 NLT Christian liberty is to be governed by love.  3. For the sake of God's blessing Conclusion 1. Our mandate (v. 1) 2. Our mission (v. 2) 3. Our model (v. 3) 4. Our manual (v. 4) 5. Our mantra (v. 7) 

Scripture: Romans 14:1-12 Transformative Truth: Since the Lord welcomes us, we should welcome one another.   Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God. - Romans 15:7 How should I relate to fellow Christians whose consciences disagree with mine? The Problem Feel as I feel, think only as I think; Eat what I eat, drink what I drink, Look as I look, do always as I do, Then and only then will I fellowship with you. The Prescription To the strong: 1. Welcome your weaker brother (v. 1). 2. Do not despise him (vv. 3a, 10b) To the weak: Stop passing judgment (vv. 3b, 4a, 10a) Should a man not lay his hand upon his mouth before he criticizes his brethren? When we pass swift, uninformed, unloving and ungenerous judgments, surely we have forgotten that if we speak evil of them, at the same time we speak evil of the Lord whose name they bear. The Principles 1. God welcomes all believers (v. 3) 2. The Lord upholds every believer (v. 4) 3. The Lord is sovereign over every believer (vv. 5-9) “To deny the lordship of Jesus Christ in the life of any believer is to subvert the full work, power, and purpose of His crucifixion and resurrection.” 4. The Lord alone will judge each believer (vv. 10-12).  

The long-neglected N67 and N68 roads in West Clare are back in the spotlight this week. June Dillon, Aontú's Clare representative, says responsibility for fixing these key routes lies firmly with Clare County Council — and that it's time for action, not excuses. On Friday's Morning Focus, Daragh Dolan spoke with June and Cyril Feeney, Senior Engineer, Transportation, Mobility , Health and Safety. Photo (c) Google Maps

Scripture: Hebrews 10:19-25 Transformative Truth: For the conscience to function properly, it must be calibrated to Scripture. Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.  - Hebrews 10:22 Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers having been subjected to him. - 1 Peter 3:21-22 For the conscience to function properly, it must be calibrated to Scripture. The Calibration of the Conscience Unless I am convicted by Scripture and plain reason – I do not accept the authority of popes and councils, for they have contradicted each other – my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and I will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. Here I stand, I cannot do otherwise. God help me. Amen. But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their power of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil. - Hebrews 5:14 1. Education 2. Application The Conditions of the Conscience 1. Those who have a guilty conscience and know it. 2. Those who have a guilty conscience and don't know it. 3. Those who have a purified conscience and know it. 4. Those who have a purified conscience and don't know it. By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our hearts before him; for whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything. - 1 John 3:20 The Cross and the Conscience

Here’s a question that’ll make your head spin: You just inherited 50 neglected accounts, and your customers feel taken for granted. How do you reposition yourself as a high-value partner instead of just another transactional vendor who’s about to disappoint them? That’s the question posed by Scott Northway, and it’s one of the most common challenges I see in sales today. A new account manager takes over, inherits a book of business that’s been ignored, and now has to figure out how to rebuild relationships with customers who’ve been collecting dust. If you’re nodding your head right now, you’re not alone. Poor account management is quietly bleeding companies dry, and most leaders have no idea how much revenue they’re leaving on the table. The Brutal Truth About Why Customers Leave When we survey customers through our consulting projects with clients who are hemorrhaging accounts, here’s what we find: About 70 percent of the time, customers don’t leave because of price. They don’t leave because of product quality or service issues. They leave because they feel taken for granted. Let me give you a real example. I pay six figures annually for a software program that’s critical to my business. Every time my contract comes up for renewal, it’s like a circus. They fly people in. They wine and dine me. They promise the moon about how they’re going to support us and be our partner. Then once the contract is signed? Crickets. My account manager disappears for three years. If I don’t call them, they don’t call me. And here’s the thing: I actually like my account manager. I genuinely want to work with them. There are products I could buy, optimizations we could make, but I have to do all the work to make it happen. This is insane. And it’s costing companies millions. What Won’t Work: The Rookie Mistakes So you’ve inherited these neglected accounts. Here’s what you absolutely cannot do: Show up on their doorstep apropos of nothing and try to sell them something. If I’m an existing customer doing business with your company, and you show up trying to pitch me without acknowledging the elephant in the room, we’re probably done. It’s rude. It’s bad behavior. And it tells me you’re just like every other transactional vendor who doesn’t actually care about my business. The second mistake is spreading yourself too thin across all 50 accounts without any strategy. You’ll burn out, deliver mediocre service to everyone, and end up losing accounts you could have saved. The Human-to-Human Approach That Actually Works Here’s what does work: Be honest. Be human. Name the problem. Pick up the phone and say something like this: “Hey, I’m your new account manager. I recognize that no one’s contacted you in a while, and I’m sorry about that. I apologize. I’d like to do a fresh start. Would you give me the opportunity to get to know you better and learn about what’s important to you?” That’s it. Simple. Direct. Human. Now here’s the hard part: When you have that conversation, some customers are going to unload on you. If they really have felt taken for granted, they’re going to say some nasty things. They might complain about the last account manager. They might air grievances about problems that have been festering for months. And the most important thing you can do in that moment is shut up and listen. Don’t try to defend the past. Don’t talk over them. Don’t promise you’re going to be so much better than the last person. Just let them get it all off their chest. Let them talk it out, because people like people who listen to them. Then, if there’s something specific you can help them with, don’t make promises you can’t keep. Commit to one thing. Take care of that commitment. Honor it. Build trust slowly. That’s how you become a high-value partner through fanatical prospecting discipline applied to account management. The Smart Way to Triage 50 Accounts You can’t effectively manage 50 accounts with equal attention, so you need to segment fast. Use a simple A, B, C ranking by revenue and risk: A Accounts: Your largest customers or those at highest risk of churn. These get weekly or bi-weekly touchpoints. B Accounts: Solid mid-tier customers with growth potential. These get monthly check-ins. C Accounts: Smaller accounts that are stable. These get quarterly touchpoints. But here’s the secret weapon most account managers miss: Use AI and your CRM data to find the low-hanging fruit. Look for patterns like former buyers who’ve moved to new companies in your territory, customers who mentioned specific challenges in past conversations, or accounts showing signs of expansion readiness. One of the smartest things you can do is ask your AI tools: “Did anyone on this account ever mention their favorite sports team? Do they like to cook? What matters to them personally?” Those human details are gold for building real relationships in sales. The Retention Secret Nobody Talks About Here’s what kills me about account management: Retention is actually easy. If you’re just nice to people, for the most part, they’re going to be nice to you. It doesn’t take grand gestures. It takes consistency. A random text message: “Hey, just thinking about you. How’s everything going?” A quick video message once a quarter checking in. Remembering to ask how their kids’ soccer season went. Sending them an article relevant to their business with a note: “Saw this and thought of you.” Human beings at the core just want to be understood and they want to feel important, like they matter. That’s it. That’s the whole game. Your 30-60-90 Day Stabilization Plan If you’re inheriting neglected accounts, here’s your action plan: Days 1-30: Triage and stabilize. Reach out to every A account with your honest, human approach. Listen more than you talk. Identify immediate fires to put out. Days 31-60: Earn the right to advise. Deliver on your initial commitments. Start providing value without asking for anything in return. Build familiarity and trust through effective sales communication. Days 61-90: Focus on expansion. Now that you’ve proven yourself, you can start identifying opportunities to grow these accounts. But not before. Don’t bite off more than you can chew. Build familiarity, then trust, then earn the opportunity to expand the business. The Bottom Line Stop treating your existing customers like an afterthought. They’re your easiest path to revenue growth, but only if you actually treat them like they matter. Account management isn’t complicated. It’s about being human, being consistent, and actually caring about the people who are already paying you money. So pick up the phone. Send that text. Schedule that coffee. Make the small investments in relationships that compound into massive retention and expansion wins. That’s how you turn neglected accounts into your most profitable relationships. That’s how you build a book of business that actually grows. And that’s how you stop losing customers you already have.

Scripture: Genesis 3:1-21, Hebrews 9:14, 1 Peter 3:21-22 Transformative Truth: Guilt and shame lose their power at the cross of Christ.   The conscience is your awareness of what you believe is right and wrong. Modern-Day Fig Leaves (Self-Atoning, Self-Protective Measures) • The blame game • Perfectionism and overachievement • Busyness and distractions • Religious duties and good works I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring [seed] and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel. - Genesis 3:15 How much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God. - Hebrews 9:14 Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers having been subjected to him. - 1 Peter 3:21-22 Guilt and shame lose their power at the cross of Christ. I will greatly rejoice in the LORD; my soul shall exult in my God, for He has clothed me with the garments of salvation; He has covered me with the robe of righteousness... -Isaiah 61:10

Do you ever feel like life is pulling you in every direction, leaving little room for quality time with God?

Scripture Text: various Transformative Truth: Thank God for the precious gift of conscience! “The aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.” - 1 Timothy 1:5 “I always take pains to have a clear conscience toward both God and man.” - Acts 24:16 THE NEGLECTED CONSCIENCE Part One: What Is the Conscience? They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts. Their consciences confirm this. Their competing thoughts either accuse or even excuse them [tell them they are doing right]. - Romans 2:15 CSB To the pure, all things are pure, but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their minds and their consciences are defiled. - Titus 1:15 ESV The conscience is your awareness of what you believe is right and wrong.

Growing up, Daisy Hernández was told that her aunt had become ill from eating a bad apple. She watched as her aunt became sicker and sicker, and didn't learn until years later that she was living with Chagas disease.

Research shows coordinated efforts and collective action—among school systems, child welfare agencies, policymakers, and community partners—can significantly improve outcomes for children and youth in foster care. In Georgia, as of May 2025, more than 11,300 children were in foster care, according to the Georgia Department of Human Services. The work of the nonprofit Court Appointed Special Advocates, also known as Atlanta CASA, centers on helping children and young people in need. The organization supports abused and neglected children involved in the juvenile court system in Fulton County by recruiting and training volunteers to be advocates for them. On Wednesday’s edition of “Closer Look,” program host Rose Scott talked with Atlanta CASA's chief executive officer, Domonique Cooper, and Angela Owens, a recruiter and community engagement specialist for the organization. They talked more about CASA’s mission, its impact, and the urgent need for more volunteer advocates.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What happens when what God gives us is left unattended?In this episode of The Harvest Focus, we walk through the powerful imagery of Scripture's “neglected garden” (a field full of potential) that became overgrown, broken, and unfruitful, not because of disaster, but because of neglect.This teaching brings the ancient wisdom of Proverbs into modern life, challenging us to examine the condition of our own spiritual gardens. We'll explore why neutrality is a myth, how spiritual neglect quietly breaks down our defenses, and why intentional faith is the only path to lasting fruitfulness.If you've ever felt spiritually stalled, disconnected, or frustrated by a lack of growth, this episode offers a clear, hopeful call to pick up the tools again and cultivate what God has entrusted to you.Because nothing meaningful grows by accident and a healthy harvest always begins with faithful cultivation.

There are many things in life that cause a person to feel overlooked or neglected. Having a disability certainly can do this. Christmas however, gives us a different story. Listen and be encouraged. Copyright, Dave Andrus 2025

Almaas Wisdom Series is about the absolute, the source dimension of all manifestation, deeper than any other dimension, the vastness beyond vastness. In Part 1, Hameed gives a wonderful description of the majesty and the blackness of the absolute, and tells the story of when he first experienced being one with the absolute himself. When Roger Walsh asks him, what are the doorways to the absolute, Hameed talks about mystical poverty and also the way of the heart. “When the true beloved shines through the heart, it's an amazing ecstasy… a mindblowing kind of beauty,” he says. He discusses the fear people often feel as they approach cessation of all perception, and the need for the basic trust we were born with (which often gets clobbered as we grow up) to proceed. What changes after an experience of the absolute? John Dupuy asks. If one abides in this realization, it cleanses the soul of all impurities, and our action embodies the virtues, Hameed answers.In Part 2, which will be released December 25th, Hameed delves into the paradox of the absolute (the absolute is the elimination, the annihilation, the cessation of all things—and the source of all things), the nonduality of emptiness and awareness, and explains that mystery is the essence of the absolute: the absolute IS mystery, he says. There is laughter all around when Hameed says you can never completely “get” it, because there's nothing there to get! Your mind disappears as you're trying to get it. Towards the end, the conversation relaxes so deeply into the subject of the absolute, you can just about feel its presence. We become intimate with everything in the absolute, Hameed says. It is the soul's final resting place, our true home, where the search ends. Recorded October 9, 2025.“The absolute itself is majesty, and the universe that emerges is beauty.”Topics & Time Stamps – Part 1Introducing dialogue #16 in the A.H. Almaas Wisdom Series, focusing on the source dimension, the apex of Hameed's book The Inner Journey Home (00:41)“By simply witnessing the process of manifestation… the soul experiences itself as a vast silent witness… discovering a dimension deeper than any other, the absolute” (02:18)Being the absolute, one experiences an emptiness so empty there is no sensation (05:29)Cessation of perception, as the Buddha called it, was exactly Hameed's experience (09:57)Neglected teachings of Nisargadatta: awareness that is not aware of itself can be experienced as “rock-like” (11:26)The story of Hameed's first experience of the absolute (15:19)Is the absolute the destination? What is cessation? Is it the same as the absolute? (16:47)What changes after an experience of the absolute? (21:00) The absolute is majesty, the universe that emerges is beauty (23:18)The flowering of virtues follows true realization (24:24)The spiritual path has two sides: knowing who you are and living it (26:03)Moving towards cessation, people feel terror (26:53)Trust is essential; the more we are loved as an infant, the more we trust (28:25)What are the doorways into the realization of the absolute? (32:02)Mystical poverty is one doorway; the recognition that the soul has nothing of its own—it all comes from the Source (35:29)There is also the way of the heart, finding the true beloved within...

What if the most dangerous story you carry is the quiet one—“life just is this way”? Timothy grew up in a home without hugs or hard talks, where silence felt normal and safety meant familiarity. That quiet shaped anxious attachment, constant tomorrow-thinking, and a belief that mistakes defined him. When the weight finally became unlivable, he drove to a hospital seeking a lifeline and found a doorway into skills, community, and a different way to experience the world.We trace the journey from rock-bottom despair to a five-week program centered on dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and group work. Timothy learned how neuroplasticity makes change possible, how to separate thoughts from identity, and how to ride a wave of emotion without drowning in it. The breakthrough wasn't a single moment but a practice: acknowledging trauma that looked like neglect rather than violence, naming an abandonment wound, and replacing black-and-white thinking with skills for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. In the process, he found his voice—first for himself, then to advocate for someone too anxious to speak—and discovered the power of peer support, creativity, and steady boundaries.Today he protects a small circle with clear lines, channels his message through design and podcasting, and frames healing as a DIY project: borrow what works, test it in your life, and keep going. The closing challenge is simple and radical: define happiness for yourself, then follow it with diligence. If depression feels like old jeans—predictable, worn, safe—this conversation offers a different fit: skills you can practice, language for what hurt, and a reminder that mistakes refine more than they define. Listen, reflect, and share it with someone who needs the nudge to pick up the pen and write a better page.Enjoyed the story?

Chuck Swindoll once wrote:“I know of no other single practice in the Christian life more rewarding, practically speaking, than memorizing Scripture. . . . No other single exercise pays greater spiritual dividends!In this episode, James and I talk all about the lost practice of Scripture Memorization and the benefits it has for the Christian life. We also discuss a very simple and practical system for how to begin a lifetime of memorizing the Bible and retaining what you've memorized!Psalm 119:11 - "I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you."

LEVITICUS 6 — THE LAW OF ASHAM (GUILT & RESTORATION)“Restitution, Purity, and the Continual Fire of Yahuah”Teachers: Kerry & Karen BattleAhava ~ Love AssemblyToday's class dives into Leviticus 6 — The Law of Asham (Guilt Offering), where Yahuah reveals how broken trust, withheld restoration, and neglected fire threaten the entire covenant structure of Israel.This is not ritual.This is Yahuah's justice system.Leviticus 6 exposes the covenant breaches that demand confession, restitution, and priestly action:1. Lying or deceiving a neighbor (Lev 6:2)2. Stealing, extorting, or withholding property (Lev 6:2–3)3. Failing to return lost items (Lev 6:3–4)4. Breaking trust or violating agreements (Lev 6:2, 5)5. Neglecting the continual altar fire (Lev 6:9–13)6. Mishandling ashes and purity (Lev 6:10–11)7. Misusing what is qodesh in service (Lev 6:16–23)8. Ignoring vessel laws and boundary purity (Lev 6:28)Each trespass connects directly to Exodus 21–23, the backbone of Yahuah's justice architecture:Life is sacredProperty is protectedTestimony is bindingOaths are covenantalRestitution is requiredNegligence equals guiltSacred space must be guardedThe vulnerable must be defendedLeviticus 6 is the continuation of covenant justice — not a separate ritual.---

Did you know that tall-specific brick-and-mortar stores once existed? Like actual physical stores that sold tall clothing? I don't know about you, but I'm just now finding out about this.These days, we're so used to not being able to find what we need in stores. Pants fit like capris, long sleeves hit like three-quarters, and dresses never quite reach the right length. And as tall girls, we're so frustrated by this.That's why I'm so excited about today's episode. I'm joined by not one, but two guests: Alli and Amy, the tall sister duo behind Amalli Talli. They've experienced the tall-girl fashion struggles that so many of us face, and they decided to do something about it.In this episode, we're talking about why tall clothing isn't sold in stores, why tall brick-and-mortar stores don't exist anymore, what other brands get wrong when making tall clothing, and of course, the story behind their brand Amalli Talli.We have a lot to cover today, so make sure you tune into the full episode!Here are their deets: Website: https://amallitalli.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amallitalli Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/amallitalliPinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/amallitalli/ Buy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/atallgirlspodcast Subscribe to A Tall Girl's Newsletter: https://atallgirlspodcast.beehiiv.com/subscribeLet's stay connected: https://beacons.ai/atallgirlspodcast Leave a review and let me know how tall you are: https://atallgirlspodcast.com/reviews  

From Lonely to Angry: Understanding Incels (And How Good Men Lose Their Way)Some men don't start off angry. They start off lonely. Rejected. Invisible. Neglected in childhood.But when the pain festers long enough, it turns into something darker: the incel mindset.In this raw and unflinching episode, Faisal, Chuck, and Ari dive into one of the internet's most controversial subcultures — involuntary celibates (incels). These are men who want relationships but can't get them, and the frustration has curdled into isolation, shame, and sometimes rage.But here's what most people miss: Incels share many traits with Nice Guys. Both crave connection yet fear rejection. Both seek approval from women and feel powerless when they don't get it. The difference? Nice Guys hide their resentment. Incels express it — just not face-to-face.In this episode, we explore:What incels actually are (and why this phenomenon is growing)The mental health crisis: depression, anxiety, and isolationWhy some men didn't procreate throughout history (evolutionary psychology perspective)How the internet created echo chambers that trap lonely menFaisal's powerful story of coaching an incel — and what he learnedThe victim mindset: Why identifying as "involuntarily celibate" keeps you stuckThe "black pill" belief system and incel terminology (Chads, Staceys, and nihilism)How Nice Guys and incels differ: Hope vs. giving upThe generational shift: Why young men aren't pursuing relationships like they used toEconomic reality: When you can't afford independence, relationships feel impossibleChuck's controversial take: Is sex really the answer? (Spoiler: No)Why comparison culture and social media poison your soulThe trap of expecting life to hand you perfectionHow resentment and victimhood become a prisonThe hard truth? Being an incel isn't involuntary. It's a choice to stay stuck in resentment, victimhood, and isolation. There IS a path forward — but it requires rejecting the black pill, doing the work, and choosing growth over bitterness.This isn't about attacking incels. It's about understanding how good men lose their way — and showing them there's another path. One that leads to connection, purpose, and power.If you're stuck, isolated, or angry at the world — this episode is for you.Like. Comment. Subscribe. And share this with someone who needs to know: You're not powerless. You're not doomed. There's a way out.P.S. — Yes, we had technical difficulties with Faisal's internet. Chuck and Ari carried on like champions. And no, Chuck did NOT ruin sex for everyone... or did he?RetrySubscribe to the Nice Guy Show newsletter to get tips and insights on how to lead a high-value life:https://niceguyshow.com/Connect with Faisal Khokhar:https://masculine.co/https://instagram.com/coachfaisalkhttps://youtube.com/@masculinecharismaConnect with Chuck Chapman: https://chuckchapman.com/https://instagram.com/chuckchapman.ma/Connect with Dr. Ari Graff:https://drarigraff.com/https://draribgraff.com/register [divorce recovery program]https://youtube.com/@AriGraff

Is Baptism in the Spirit something we merely hope our disciples receive, or are do we consider it an foundation stone in the spiritual formation of a Christian? How should we understand it?

This week, we tell the story of a man who never had much to call his own. Neglected, and abandoned at a young age, he grew up with no family. Luckily for him, he had basketball skills.
