Podcasts about new beginnings

Tamara Cook grew up poor in a small Texas town with eight siblings, a mother struggling to hold everything together, and a biological father who was never in the picture — and when her babysitter started abusing her at just seven years old the life she deserved was already being taken from her before she was old enough to understand what was happening. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, she shares how her mother fell into addiction and began pimping her out, how her parents splitting sent everything into further chaos, how she eventually started selling drugs herself and ultimately became a pimp — the exact monster she had always been afraid of and never wanted to become. She opens up about her own addiction the relationships the multiple children she was raising in the middle of everything, and what a seven year sentence in the Texas Department of Corrections finally did to give her back the life that started being taken from her when she was seven years old. _____________________________________________ #womeninprison #TrueCrime #redemptionstory #prison _____________________________________________ Connect with Tamara Cook: YouTube: https://youtube.com/@tamarasherrell87?si=0laBG70KXTx69hZI TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nobodybby87?_r=1&_t=ZP-98ZtlRlPlcc _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Tamara Cook Introduction 00:21 Growing Up in Amarillo 02:02 Early Family Life & Childhood Memories 06:46 Life Changes at Age Seven 09:05 Abuse and Family Struggles 13:17 Mother's Addiction Begins 20:28 Role Reversal: Becoming the Caregiver 23:12 Trauma, Betrayal & Survival 27:01 Deeper Into Abuse and Neglect 33:32 Adolescence in Chaos 39:00 Survival and First Crimes 43:43 Turning to the Streets & Dealing 49:57 Dealing Drugs and Gang Life 58:00 Solo Survival and Criminal Hustle 01:05:30 Becoming a Dealer and a Pimp 01:14:00 Running Operations and Family Fallout 01:26:02 Violence, Survival & Self-Defense 01:35:29 From Teen Mom to Emancipation 01:46:06 Trying to Be a 'Normal' Wife & Mother 01:56:02 Losing Children and Hitting Rock Bottom 02:05:40 Falling into Addiction 02:11:00 Deep Addiction, Homelessness & Jail Time 02:24:00 Year Under Investigation & Final Arrest 02:33:50 Prison: The Breaking Point 02:46:00 Life Changing Years Inside 03:02:00 Release, Recovery & Faith 03:14:00 Domestic Violence and New Beginnings 03:18:00 Career, Ministry, and Healing 03:26:00 Mother's Redemption and Passing 03:33:00 Forgiveness, Recovery and Purpose 03:35:51 Reflection & Message of Hope _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka

Audio taken from the live teaching "Destroy These 5 Lusts Or They Will Destroy You!" - https://youtu.be/a87RuPgOVmoEvery Christian faces temptation, but temptation becomes dangerous when we allow it to grow into uncontested lust. When you study the Scripture, lust is more than sexual desire; it is any strong, disordered craving that pulls our hearts away from God and toward sin.In our Bible study today we are going to identify the 5 major forms of lust that secretly attack the soul, and discover how to recognize them, and how to restrain them.Key Scriptures used in today's teaching: James 1:12-15Other Scriptures referenced: 1 John 2:15–17; Galatians 5:16; Matthew 6:22-23; Proverbs 4:20-23; 1 Timothy 6:9-10; Mark 10:42-45; 2 Timothy 3:1-4; James 1:14-15In today's study the key Scripture as well as 1 John 2:15-17 was read from the New American Standard Bible (NASB) translation. All other verses are read from the New Living Translation (NLT).If you prayed with Tiff, click here https://lostlamb.org/ and let him know!  Be sure to check out the playlist “New Beginnings” - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsX8E19Azl58_FjxELPxjnsL8CAtmama4Thank you for listening, and subscribe for new content each week.

August has arrived—and according to intuitive astrologer Stevie Calista, this isn't just another month. It's one of the most pivotal energetic periods of the year.After July's Mercury retrograde invited us to slow down, reflect, and reset, August accelerates the journey with two powerful eclipses, major planetary shifts, and an invitation to shed old identities in favor of something far more authentic.If you've been feeling like life has been nudging or pushing you toward change, you're not imagining it.In this episode, Stevie walks us through the astrological themes week by week, explaining what each major transit means, where to focus your energy, and how to navigate the month with greater clarity, trust, and intention.IN THIS EPISODE WE COVER:Why August 2026 eclipse season marks a major turning point filled with endings, beginnings, and soul-level course correctionsHow Saturn in Aries continues challenging us to release old identities and discover who we truly areThe meaning of Lammas (Lughnasadh) and why early August is the perfect time to celebrate gratitude, abundance, and the harvest in your own lifeHow Chiron retrograde invites deep healing while helping you recognize just how far you've already comeWhy Venus entering Libra encourages more balance, beauty, connection, and harmony in your relationships and daily lifeWhat it means as Mercury finally leaves its retrograde shadow and begins moving into new territoryHow Mercury in Leo inspires creativity, confidence, self-expression, and reconnecting with your inner childWhy Mars entering Cancer asks us to slow down, nurture ourselves, tend to home and family, and reconnect with our emotional rootsThe significance of the August 12 Solar Eclipse in Leo and how it may close important chapters while opening your heart to a new version of yourselfWhy this eclipse is less about forcing outcomes—and more about trusting where your soul is already leading youThe caution around Mars square Neptune, and why it's important to avoid making emotionally reactive decisions during the third week of the monthWhat Virgo season brings as we transition into healthier routines, organization, productivity, and grounded momentumHow the Mercury cycle reaches an important midpoint, offering an opportunity to reflect, refine, and adjust projects or ideas that began in JulyThe meaning of the August 28 Pisces Lunar Eclipse, and why surrender, intuition, and trusting the unknown become your greatest strengthsWhy 2026 continues to feel like a year of brand-new territory—and how to embrace the uncertainty instead of resisting itThroughout the conversation, Stevie reminds us that astrology is a powerful tool for understanding the larger cycles unfolding in our lives, helping us work with the energy instead of against it.If August feels intense, know that you're not alone.

Audio taken from the live recording of "Does Bible Prophecy Really Prove Jesus is the Messiah? - Prophetic Evidence That Skeptics Try To Dismiss" - https://youtu.be/ijH24C8Dz_QFor centuries, critics have dismissed Jesus as just another religious figure. Yet the Hebrew Scriptures, written centuries before His birth, contain precise, detailed prophecies that appear to describe Him with uncanny accuracy.The question is no longer simply academic. It is urgent and unavoidable: Does Bible prophecy really prove Jesus is the Messiah? In this study I will be examining 3 key prophetic tracks that over evidence for Jesus Christ being the promised Messiah:1 - Messianic Prophecy and the Prophets2 - Messianic Prophecy and the Pedigree3 - Messianic Prophecy and the ProofKey Scriptures used in today's teaching: Luke 24:44-48Other Scriptures referenced: Isaiah 7:14; Isaiah 9:6-7; Micah 5:2; Psalm 22:6-8; Psalm 22:16-18; Zechariah 12:10; Genesis 3:15; Genesis 12:3; 22:18; Genesis 49:10; Genesis 12:3; Genesis 17:21; Genesis 28:14; Genesis 49:8; Isaiah 11:1; Jeremiah 23:5Unless stated otherwise, most Scripture is read from the New Living Translation (NLT) Bible.If you prayed with Tiff, click here https://lostlamb.org/ and let him know!  Be sure to check out the playlist “New Beginnings” - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsX8E19Azl58_FjxELPxjnsL8CAtmama4Thank you for listening, and subscribe for new content each week.

Look, Meera, meeting you after a long time."Hi: आरव अचानक रुका।En: Aarav suddenly stopped.Hi: उसकी आंखों ने रोहित के शब्दों को तुरंत पकड़ लिया।En: His eyes immediately caught Rohit's words.Hi: वही मीरा... उसका दिल तेजी से धड़कने लगा।En: That very Meera... his heart started to beat rapidly.Hi: मीरा, उसकी अपनी बीती कहानी की साक्षी।En: Meera, the witness to his past story.Hi: वही कहानियां जो वो पीछे छोड़कर आना चाहता था।En: Those very stories he wanted to leave behind.Hi: ताज महल के पास खड़ी मीरा उसे देख रही थी।En: Standing near the Taj Mahal, Meera was looking at him.Hi: जैसे वक्त वही का वही ठहर गया हो।En: As if time had stopped there.Hi: भीड़ के बीच वो दोनों आमने-सामने खड़े हो गए।En: Amid the crowd, they both stood facing each other.Hi: बातों की लहरों के बीच आरव के मन में कई सवाल थे - "क्या वो भी मेरे बारे में सोच रही थी? क्यों हम ऐसे अलग हो गए थे?"En: Among the waves of conversation, Aarav had many questions in his mind - "Was she thinking about me too? Why did we part ways like this?"Hi: इसी बीच, आसमान में ईद के पटाखे चमकने लगे।En: Meanwhile, the fireworks of Eid started sparkling in the sky.Hi: उनकी रौशनी में मीरा की आंखों में एक अजीब सी शांति थी।En: In their light, there was a strange peace in Meera's eyes.Hi: मानो कह रही हों, “अब वक़्त आ गया है, बात करने का।”En: As if they were saying, “Now is the time to talk.”Hi: आरव ने आखिरकार हिम्मत जुटाई।En: Finally, Aarav gathered the courage.Hi: उसने सीधे मीरा से पूछा, "क्यों अचानक से छोड़ दिया था मुझे?"En: He directly asked Meera, "Why did you suddenly leave me?"Hi: मीरा की आंखों में दर्द की छाया थी, लेकिन उसकी आवाज़ में सच्चाई थी।En: There was a shadow of pain in Meera's eyes, but there was truth in her voice.Hi: "आरव, वक्त और हालात ने हमें अलग कर दिया। मैं चाहती थी कि तुम आगे बढ़ो।"En: "Aarav, time and circumstances separated us. I wanted you to move forward."Hi: उनकी बातचीत किसी गहरी नदी की तरह बहने लगी।En: Their conversation began to flow like a deep river.Hi: दोनों ने अपनी भावनाएं, गलतफहमियां साझा कीं।En: Both shared their feelings and misunderstandings.Hi: आरव को आखिरकार अहसास हुआ कि असल में दोनों की जिंदगी ने अलग राहें चुन ली थीं।En: Aarav finally realized that indeed, their lives had chosen different paths.Hi: पटाखों का शोर और लोग खुशी में झूम रहे थे, पर आरव का मन अब शांत था।En: The noise of fireworks and people reveling in joy was all around, but Aarav's mind was now at peace.Hi: उसने मीरा के हाथ को थामकर कहा, "अब मैं समझ रहा हूँ, हमें मुद्दत से जरूरत थी इस समझदारी की।"En: Holding Meera's hand, he said, "Now I understand, this understanding was needed for a long time."Hi: मीरा मुस्कुराई और कहा, "हां, यह अंत का नहीं, एक नई शुरुआत का संकेत है।"En: Meera smiled and said, "Yes, this is not the end, but a sign of a new beginning."Hi: समाप्ति पर आरव को आखिरकार शांति मिली।En: In the end, Aarav finally found peace.Hi: उसने अपने अंदर के दर्द को शांति से विदा किया।En: He peacefully bid farewell to the pain inside him.Hi: ताज महल की ओर देखते हुए उसने पाया कि यहां का अनंत प्रेम उसके लिए भी दूसरी शुरुआत के संकेत दे रहा था।En: Looking towards the Taj Mahal, he found that the eternal love of the place was also signaling a new beginning for him.Hi: और यहीं दोनों ने अपने जीवन की नई राह पर कदम बढ़ाए।En: And there, both stepped onto a new path in their lives.

Hi everybody, I'm coming to you from Vermont, where life feels slower on the outside, but my mind has been Busy. In this solo episode, I'm sharing an honest catch-up on everything that's been rattling around my head lately: why I've been feeling so exhausted, the anxiety of always thinking about what's next instead of where I am, the guilt and heartbreak of navigating my mom's illness, and a major shift in how I'm thinking about our fertility journey. If you feel similarly pulled between gratitude and grief, struggle to stay present during good moments, or wonder why one difficult thing can suddenly consume your whole mind, I hope my swirling thoughts help you feel a little less alone.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Harvesting Connections: City Life Meets Rural Rhythms Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2026-07-18-22-34-02-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A nap sárgás fényáradatban sütötte a vidéki epermezőt.En: The sun shone down on the country strawberry field in a yellowish flood of light.Hu: Egy kis dombon állt a tanya, amely odalent tekintett a hatalmas epersorokra.En: On a small hill stood the farmhouse, gazing down at the vast rows of strawberries.Hu: Az idilli tájat végtelen zöld dombok fogták közre, meleg és nyugodt volt mindenütt.En: The idyllic landscape was enclosed by endless green hills, warm and calm all around.Hu: Zoltán, a városi író, inspirációt keresett.En: Zoltán, the city writer, was searching for inspiration.Hu: Azt remélte, hogy a természet egyszerűsége segít majd alkotói válságán.En: He hoped that the simplicity of nature might help with his creative block.Hu: Eszter, aki mindig is szeretett volna többet megtudni a fenntartható gazdálkodásról, szintén ott töltötte a nyarat.En: Eszter, who had always wanted to learn more about sustainable farming, was also spending the summer there.Hu: Nem ismerték egymást korábban, de a farm munkával és lehetőségekkel teli volt, és lassan összehozta őket.En: They hadn't known each other before, but the farm was full of work and opportunities, slowly bringing them together.Hu: Reggelente együtt szedték az epret, izzadva a nyári melegben.En: In the mornings, they picked strawberries together, sweating in the summer heat.Hu: Zoltán eleinte küszködött.En: Zoltán struggled at first.Hu: A kényelmes városi életet megszokva, a föld művelése különösen nehéz volt számára.En: Used to the comfortable city life, working the land was particularly difficult for him.Hu: Az ásó és a kapálás monoton ritmusa azonban lassan megnyugtatóvá vált, mintha a természet ritmusa csendesen beszélgetett volna vele.En: However, the monotonous rhythm of digging and hoeing slowly became soothing, as if the rhythm of nature was quietly conversing with him.Hu: Eszter számára a falusi élet elsőre ijesztőnek tűnt.En: For Eszter, rural life initially seemed daunting.Hu: A természet szépsége lenyűgözte, de a munka intenzitása új kihívások elé állította.En: She was captivated by the beauty of nature, but the intensity of the work presented new challenges.Hu: Ám ahogy telt az idő, megértette, hogy a föld közelsége és az epermező csendje újfajta tiszteletet és erőt adhat számára.En: Yet as time passed, she realized that the closeness to the land and the silence of the strawberry field could offer her a new kind of respect and strength.Hu: Ahogy a napok múltak, Zoltán elhatározta, hogy rendszeres szüneteket tart a munkában.En: As the days went by, Zoltán decided to take regular breaks from work.Hu: Kicsit sétálva merült el a természetben, eközben pedig jegyzetfüzetébe írta le benyomásait.En: He would take short walks, immersing himself in nature, and jotting down his impressions in a notebook.Hu: Eszter, látva kitartását és érdeklődését, úgy döntött, hogy meghosszabbítja önkéntességét a tanyán, hogy jobban megértse a vidéki élet árnyalatait.En: Seeing his perseverance and curiosity, Eszter decided to extend her volunteering at the farm to better understand the nuances of rural life.Hu: Egy péntek délutáni vihar nyomán az ég hirtelen elsötétült, és a szél vadul söpört végig a mezőn.En: Following a Friday afternoon storm, the sky suddenly darkened, and the wind swept wildly across the field.Hu: Zoltán és Eszter együtt futottak ki, hogy megvédjék a termést az esőtől.En: Zoltán and Eszter ran out together to protect the crops from the rain.Hu: Miközben védelmet kerestek a növényeknek, felfedezték, mennyire különböző erősségeik mennyire kiegészítik egymást.En: While seeking refuge for the plants, they discovered how their different strengths complemented each other.Hu: Együtt hatékonyan dolgoztak, megőrizve a farm termését.En: Together, they worked effectively, preserving the farm's harvest.Hu: A vihar után tiszta lett az ég.En: After the storm, the sky cleared.Hu: Zoltán úgy érezte, hogy a mezőn átélt kaland és Eszter megingathatatlan elkötelezettsége új erőt adott neki.En: Zoltán felt that the adventure experienced in the field and Eszter's unwavering dedication had given him new energy.Hu: Elkezdett írni, most már inspiráltan és céltudatosan.En: He began to write, now inspired and purposeful.Hu: Eszter pedig eldöntötte, hogy az agrár-fenntarthatósággal szeretne foglalkozni a jövőben.En: Eszter decided she wanted to pursue agricultural sustainability in the future.Hu: Ahogy a nyár végéhez közeledett, mindketten úgy érezték, hogy valami új és értékes dolgot találtak egymásban és önmagukban.En: As summer drew to a close, they both felt they had found something new and valuable in each other and within themselves.Hu: Megállapodtak abban, hogy továbbra is találkozni fognak, hiszen a mezőn szerzett emlékek és közös tapasztalataik összekötötték őket.En: They agreed to keep meeting because the memories and shared experiences from the field had bonded them.Hu: És így Zoltán és Eszter útjaik különösen indultak el egy új, közös úton, az epermező közepén, ahol az inspiráció, a kihívás és a szeretet találkoztak.En: And so, Zoltán and Eszter embarked on a new joint journey, where inspiration, challenge, and love converged in the middle of the strawberry field.

I Need Peace  Isaiah Chapter 26

In the Haute Seat, our unforgettable conversation with Katie Ginella delivers everything Bravo fans could ask for: shocking Housewives revelations, celebrity encounters, fashion critiques, and some of the funniest moments we've had in the studio. We kick things off diving into Katie's obsession with RuPaul and the impact that RuPaul's Drag Race has had on generations of people who simply wanted to feel accepted. We swap stories about attending the very first RuPaul's Drag Race premiere party, where RuPaul himself was hilariously denied entry because he wasn't in drag and had forgotten his ID. From Lady Bunny to backstage moments at Drag Race, Katie gushes over the icon who changed the world for millions. Naturally, the conversation spirals into pop culture, with Madonna's legendary habit of showing up hours late to concerts, George Michael becoming Katie's nine-year-old son's newest obsession, and Katie sharing details about her new podcast, Bravo's Most Wanted, which she launched after initially developing a different show with Monica Garcia from Salt Lake City before teaming up with Jamie Rice. We also reveal that years before Modern Family, Bravo passed on our own pilot, Designer Family, because executives didn't believe audiences were ready to watch two gay men raising a teenage daughter in Beverly Hills. Looking back now, it feels unbelievable. Katie gets candid about how reality television affected her children, revealing that her daughter received death threats after being targeted online and that filming RHOC took an emotional toll on the entire family. We also get the inside scoop on Kylie auditioning for Love Island and whether Katie's kids would ever join a “Next Gen OC.” Then comes one of the biggest bombshells of the episode: we reveal that we were among the very first people to witness the beginnings of Scandoval while filming Scheana Shay's wedding in Cancun. We recount seeing Tom Schwartz kiss Raquel Leviss on camera before later spotting Tom Sandoval kissing her off camera—long before the scandal exploded across the Bravo universe. Katie is left absolutely stunned by the story. The Housewives tea continues as Katie opens up about her biggest regrets from Orange County, admitting that she wishes she had stood up for herself more instead of trying to keep the peace. She addresses misconceptions that she is a liar, talks about the difference between “show friends” and “real friends,” and explains why she believes much of modern reality television has become performative. The mood shifts when SnowWhite90210 finally returns from the groomer and instantly steals the spotlight. Between puppy talk, frozen dog sperm, and plans for Mochi's future puppies, things take a hilariously unexpected turn. Katie also opens up about one of the most emotional chapters of her life: being adopted from Korea as a baby. She shares her complicated feelings about eventually meeting her birth mother, revealing that she simply wants to thank the woman who gave her a chance at the life she has today. We discuss identity, belonging, and the deep love Katie found with her husband Matt after surviving an allegedly abusive first marriage. As we head into Runway Rundown, Katie weighs in on the latest RHOC cast photos, revealing her favorite looks from Shannon Beador, Tamra Judge, and Vicki Gunvalson while hilariously critiquing the gowns worn by Emily Simpson, Gina Kirschenheiter, Jen Pedranti, and newcomer Carmella GarciaPol' gives his expert couture opinions, breaking down why quality and custom tailoring matter at every age. Throughout the episode, Katie remains refreshingly honest about the realities of Housewives fame, the friendships she misses, the betrayals she still struggles with, and whether she would ever return to RHOC. Between RuPaul, Madonna, Ariana Madix, Scheana Shay, Tom Sandoval, Raquel Leviss, Sutton Stracke, Vicki Gunvalson, and SnowWhite90210, the Haute Seat is packed with unforgettable moments and enough Bravo tea to keep fans talking until her Armenian coffee reading.

From this present time, all the way to the Eternal Kingdom, Scripture lays out exactly what's coming next.Key Scriptures used in today's teaching: Matthew 24:3-8Other Scriptures referenced: Matthew 28:18-20; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18; 1 Corinthians 15:51-52; John 14:1-3; 2 Corinthians 5:10; Jeremiah 30:7; Matthew 24:21-22; 1 Thessalonians 5:9; Revelation 16:16; Zechariah 14:3-5; Revelation 19:11-21; Revelation 20:4-5; Revelation 20:7-10; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 22:1-5; Romans 10:13Unless stated otherwise, most Scripture is read from the New Living Translation (NLT) Bible.If you prayed with Tiff, click here https://lostlamb.org/ and let him know!  Be sure to check out the playlist “New Beginnings” - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsX8E19Azl58_FjxELPxjnsL8CAtmama4Thank you for listening, and subscribe for new content each week.

Fatherhood does not end when children grow up. It enters a new season. Joshua sits down with guest Joe Salinas to discuss his recent experiences as a father as one daughter married, another graduated, and both stepped into new chapters of life. Together, they reflect on the emotions, lessons, and enduring privilege of loving and leading our children through life's biggest transitions.

Helloo from beautiful Vermont! We are obsessed with being here and are having such a wonderful time, but also...Why does everyone here seem so mad at us?? We kick things off by venting about some less than friendly encounters before talking about everything we love about being here. Then, we dive into listening to your voicemails! We get into friendship fallouts, taking big leaps in your 20s, wedding budget stress, and the importance of keeping things fun in your relationship. We love you, keep the voicemails coming!
