Send us a textHow's yall's summer going??? It's hot in New Orleans. And that humidity makes me glow HARD! I thought it'd be fun to wake the show up this week to introduce a couple of new conversations I had recently. First, I was contacted about an amazing skin care brand that has revolutionized the way brown skin is taken care of today. I was super intrigued. And asI learned more, boy was I doing things wrong! Brownkind was created by dermatologists of color to address the needs of melanin-rich skin. With products made with melanin in mind, your best skin day is every day. While most skincare companies use primarily caucasian skin to study effectiveness, we studied only those with melanin-rich skin. We focus on your skin using our proprietary blend of phytonutrients from start to finish, because proven science leads to proven results.Founded by dermatologists of color with over 50 years of experience, Brownkind is here to offer you the long-overlooked knowledge you need to give your skin the care it deserves. Listen as I am schooled in caring for brown skin by 2 of the world's leaders, Dr. Gauri Desai and Dr. Abhijit Desai and learn more about their amazing skin care brand at www.brownkind.com______________________________________________________________________Then later I welcome back my own personal favorites of mine- Past 2 term Mayor for the city of New Orleans, Mr. Marc Morial. Also leader of the National Urban League. Recently, I got to talk to him about the Homelessness situation in New Orleans. I wanted to make sure I was on the right side of things. I know and I SEE that our amazing Council person, and friend of mine, Ms. Lesli Harris has her fingers on the pulse, honey. It gives me chill bumps at the passion in her voice that gives way to the charm in her smile. The date proves we are on the right track! But there is always time to reflect on what can be done better. Life is always about getting better. And I know with passionate civic workers like Council Member Harris, along with the heart beat of our city- the future data will prove even better. AND I CLAIM THAT IN HIS NAME. Check this exclusive out with the People's Mayor. My always mayor. Thank you Mr. Marc. Learn more about his mission at www.nul.orgThank you to our family of amazing sponsors!

In this episode, we're going straight into Job 1:9–10—a conversation so ancient and cosmic it still rattles the gates of spiritual warfare today.Why do some Christians mock the phrase "hedge of protection"? Is it outdated? Harmless? Or is something more sinister at play when we joke about what Satan himself takes seriously?Whether you've heard this phrase in prayer circles or mocked on stage, today's deep dive will challenge you to rethink your posture toward spiritual boundaries, bold prayer, and the unseen war around you.

Today on the LOOPcast, we dig into the shocking federal probe revealing systemic failures—and even signs of life—in patients before organ procurement began.

Charles Douthat is a poet, retired litigator, and visual artist. Born and educated in California, he practiced law for many years in New Haven and began writing poems during a long mid-life illness. His first collection, Blue for Oceans, received the PEN New England Award, as the best book of poetry published in 2010 by a New England writer. Concerning Douthat's newest book, Again, the poet Alan Shapiro writes, “This book is impossible not to love.” Douthat lives in Weston, Connecticut, with his wife, the artist Julie Leff. Robert Frost was born in 1874 in San Francisco. When he was just ten years old, his father died, and Frost's family moved to Lawrence, Massachusetts to live with his paternal grandparents. Though Frost attended Dartmouth College and Harvard University, he never earned a formal degree. He spent much of his twenties and thirties farming and teaching. In 1912, he moved, with his wife and children, to England where publishers were more receptive to his work. But he moved back to the States in 1915 after the start of the First World War. He lived for the rest of his life mostly in Massachusetts and Vermont. Robert Frost won four Pulitzer Prizes and the Congressional Medal of Honor. He died in Boston in 1963.

As always, we encourage you to share your thoughts in the comments and pass these episodes along to others.In today's episode, we welcome back one of Rob's favorite guests: Charell Star, who first joined us in Season 5. Charell gained national attention when she was featured in Humans of New York (link below), and she returns to discuss her powerful new book, Trash Bag Tales and Other Stories from an Accidentally Happy Life. The book offers readers a raw, heartfelt, and often humorous look at what it means to claim the joyful life you deserve.Charell is also the featured subject in the award-winning documentary Feeling Wanted, which chronicles her time in foster care and is now used as a training resource by child welfare organizations around the world.We absolutely loved this episode—and we've already invited Charell back for Season 7!

In the first episode of our new season, host Aaron Millar heads to the eastern edge of the state, far from the bustle of coastal cities and the craggy heights of the Cascade Mountains.We're going on location in the traditional lands of the Nez Perce to uncover a piece of history unknown to most outsiders. In the late 19th century, the Wallowa Band of the Nez Perce tribe were driven from their homeland. 200 warriors, protecting hundreds more women and children, fought for five days against 520 US soldiers. Their leader, before surrendering, promised his people that one day they would come home. After nearly 200 years, his promise may just be starting to come true. This is a unique story of generational resilience, cultural preservation, and the ongoing work for recognition and ancestral lands.
