What happens when political purity spirals collide with real-world consequences? In this episode of the Awake & Winning Podcast, we bring you a repost from The Political Orphans Podcast hosted by Nico Lagan and Rob Ambrose for a fiery conversation on immigration, political intolerance, and the strategic future of Canadian politics. Kaylor doesn't hold back as he challenges the emotional logic behind voting, calls out the left's performative diversity, and debates whether Maxime Bernier should have joined forces with Pierre Poilievre. As a freedom-first thinker, Kaylor offers a bold, unfiltered critique of the current Canadian political landscape and drops some serious truth bombs about where the country is headed. If you care about Canada's future, this episode is a must-listen.     Episode Highlights: political intolerance, immigration reform, emotional voting, Maxime Bernier strategy, Pierre Poilievre leadership, Canadian culture, diversity vs. inclusion, faith vs. pragmatism, PPC vs. CPC, conservative values, government overreach, 2025 election       Takeaways:   Voting emotionally vs. voting practically Why Maxime Bernier likely won't win Kaylor's take on political purity and tolerance The left's weaponization of inclusivity and diversity Faith-based voters vs. political strategy The potential impact of PPC joining CPC Why Canada needs to "stop the bleeding" before reform     If you enjoyed the episode, please be sure to take a screenshot and share it out on Instagram and tag @thekaylorbetts.

Running an orphanage and an ambulance service is no easy feat, but when you're also right next to a civil war, there are a lot more complications. Catherine Riley-Bryan is a New Zealander and founder of Bamboo School, located in a village called Bong Ti in western Thailand, right next to the Myanmar border.

Robin Basselin and Ryan Geertsma look at the work of Twesigye Jackson Kaguri.

Tonight on The Brian Crombie Hour, Brian interviews Mykola Kuleba. Mykola is an Ukrainian statesman, children's rights advocate, and humanitarian. He has led major reforms to advance children's welfare in Ukraine and is co-founder and head of Save Ukraine, an organization that rescues children from conflict zones. He served as Commissioner for Children's Rights and headed the Kyiv Children's Service. Mykola, the organization's founder and CEO, and Anastasiia Dovbnia, responsible for government relations at Save Ukraine, discuss the ongoing efforts to rescue Ukrainian children abducted by Russia, particularly in occupied territories. Save Ukraine has rescued around 680 children, focusing on the most vulnerable, including orphans and those subjected to militarization, trafficking, or sexual abuse. 

What happens when our hearts operate from a place of abandonment rather than security in God's love? This episode delves into the concept of "living from an orphan heart" – that desperate longing to be attached to someone or something that will provide worth and security.The conversation explores the parable of the Prodigal Son through a fresh lens – not just as a story of rebellion and return, but as a profound illustration of two sons (one who "got busy" and one who "got lost") who both struggled to grasp their father's unconditional love. Most revealing is how the father continually addresses both as "my son," emphasizing relationship over performance.For those wrestling with trust issues, control tendencies, fear of abandonment, or performance-based identity, this episode offers both insight and hope. The journey from orphan mindset to secure sonship begins with awareness of these patterns and an invitation to hear God's persistent voice calling us back to our true home in His heart.

Are you using prayer to build your relationship with God and surrender to Him in business and life? In this episode, Jeff and Gary discuss: Using prayer as personal time with your Father in Heaven.Surrendering your all to God.Seeking the mysteries of God's will.Using business as a movement and a mission.  Key Takeaways: When you don't know what's going to happen, pray.God is in control. He knows the hairs on your head, He knows the circumstances of your life. He shows up in unusual ways.Adoption is a reasonable small investment up front to change a life.If you want to experience God, see where He's moving and join in that movement.  "Begin with the end in mind, think what you want to do, write it down, and have some people hold you accountable to that." —  Gary Ringger About Gary Ringger: Gary is the founder of Lifesong for Orphans, but his preferred title is Orphan Advocate. His passion is developing radical businesses to create “perpetual giving engines” and employment opportunities for orphans and vulnerable children. He has the blessing of being an entrepreneur (which sometimes, when running unchecked, becomes a curse) and has been involved (at last count) in 11 start-ups. Gary has been married to Marla for 41 years, and they have been blessed with 3 children and 15 grandchildren. Connect with Gary Ringger:Website: http://lifesong.org/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gary-ringger-53a1619Book: Radical Business: From Ownership to Stewardship - https://store.lifesong.org/product/radical-business/  Connect with Jeff Thomas: Website: https://www.arkosglobal.com/Podcast: https://www.generousbusinessowner.com/Book: https://www.arkosglobal.com/trading-upEmail: jeff.thomas@arkosglobal.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/ArkosGlobalAdvFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/arkosglobal/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/arkosglobaladvisorsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/arkosglobaladvisors/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLUYpPwkHH7JrP6PrbHeBxw

What if telling the truth about who you are meant risking everything you've worked for? In this deeply personal episode of Rooted Recovery Stories, country music icon, Ty Herndon, returns to reflect on the cost of hiding, the power of coming out, and the kind of healing that only comes when you stop performing and start living. Ty opens up about the weight of being one of the first openly gay artists in mainstream country music and what it took to finally choose authenticity over approval. From internalized shame to spiritual transformation, this conversation is a raw, redemptive look at reclaiming your voice and rewriting your story. He also shares the latest chapter of his career, including his upcoming single with LeAnn Rimes and a new album honoring 30 years of music, advocacy, and hard-won self-love.This episode is about more than music, it's about survival, reinvention, and the freedom that comes from being fully seen.__________________Watch/Listen/Subscribe to the Show: ↳ ⁠YouTube⁠↳ ⁠Apple Podcast⁠↳ ⁠Spotify⁠↳ ⁠Instagram⁠↳ ⁠Tiktok⁠↳ ⁠Facebook⁠__________________Patrick Custer - Host↳ Instagram: ⁠@thepatrickcuster⁠↳ TikTok:⁠ @thepatrickcuster⁠↳ YouTube: ⁠@thepatrickcuster⁠↳ Facebook: ⁠@thepatrickcuster⁠↳ Website: ⁠linktr.ee/patrickcuster⁠Ty Herndon - Guest↳ Insta: ⁠@tyherndonofficial↳ Website: www.tyherndon.com↳ Tiktok: ⁠@tyherndonofficial↳ Facebook: @tyherndonofficial__________________Promises Behavioral Health – Treatment for addiction, mental health/trauma:↳ Admissions: (888) 648-4098↳ Insta: ⁠⁠@promises_bh⁠↳ URL: ⁠⁠www.promisesbehavioralhealth.com⁠ ⁠Mental Health America:↳ URL: ⁠www.mhanational.orgAbout Ty Herndon:Ty Herndon has lived a life and career of extreme highs and lows and celebrates a critical milestone in country music as his record-breaking debut single “What Mattered Most” turns thirty in 2025. Between 1995 and 2002, Herndon charted 17 singles, including his three number ones and seventeen top 10 hits, such as “I Want My Goodbye Back,” “Loved Too Much,” “A Man Holding On,” and “Hands of a Working Man.” He topped the charts in 1996 with the single “Living in a Moment” and again in 1998 with “It Must Be Love.” Ty continued to break new ground throughout the next decade, releasing a Greatest Hits collection, as well as the albums "Right About Now," "Lies I Told Myself" and the Grammy-nominated "Journey On." In 2015 he became the first major male country music artist to come out as gay and released the critically acclaimed albums "House on Fire" and "Got It Covered" and launched the annual Concert For Love & Acceptance. Ty made a triumphant comeback beginning in 2020 with the release of “Orphans of God,” a duet with Kristin Chenoweth that peaked at number one on the iTunes charts. That was quickly followed by the release of JACOB and JACOB (Deluxe Edition) in 2022 and 2023 respectively, for the first time bringing his full journey from darkness to light and back again to his music. The album touched on highly personal themes ranging from addiction, recovery, and mental fitness to lost love, self-discovery and personal freedom. It spawned the country radio hits “Till You Get There” and “Dents on a Chevy,” a duet with Terri Clark that spent 7 weeks atop the independent country radio charts, becoming the number one independent country single of 2023. Grammy-nominated and Dove Award winning, Ty's voice is stronger than ever, and he's using it to make a difference. In 2020, he created the Foundation For Love & Acceptance to further his work on behalf of mental health, addiction and trauma recovery, and building a more inclusive country music community.

It was a slow start, but it started speeding up. The first chapter felt like somebody dropped me off out of a Uber into somebody's cookout and started introducing me to all of the characters. Once you get the characters down and their nicknames, then you start to see what has happened and where we're at currently. We only discussed chapters one through three and we will be back in two weeks to see what happens in chapters 4 through seven. We all have the physical books, but you are welcome to listen to the audio. Please support your local libraries first before purchasing on Amazon or your bookstores. But it seems like it's a good read.

Pastor Jason continues our series, Identity, walking through the book of Ephesians. This week we saw that we were once alienated, but now we can identify as a child of God.

We all want our children to be overcomers, ones who get back up when life knocks them down, and who learn from the challenges they face. In short, we want them to be resilient. Dr. Nicole Wilke joins us today to talk about what resilience is, what the Scriptures say about it, and how we can cultivate resilience in our children. Her words bring hope no matter what your children have or are facing. As Dr. Wilke and Amanda Howard write in their book Overcoming, "Adversity is not the end of the story." Our God has something to say about it. Nicole Wilke, Ph.D., is a researcher, missionary, author, and marriage and family therapist dedicated to improving care for vulnerable children and families globally. She currently serves as Director of the Christian Alliance for Orphans' Center on Applied Research for Vulnerable Children and Families, bridging research and practice to improve care for vulnerable children and families around the globe. Her passion for this work stems from her family's experience with adoption and fostering. Having lived on four continents, Nicole currently resides with her family in Peru, where they work to improve the system for children in alternative care.

Thousands of children from South Korea have been adopted by Australian families over decades. In many cases, these children were raised to believe they were orphans – and their adoptive families believed they were doing something loving and selfless by giving them a home. But a much more sinister truth has been laid bare: South Korea’s own Truth and Reconciliation Commission exposed how many of those adoptions were built on falsified orphan records, and traced trafficking and forged documents back to the agencies involved. Today, associate editor for The Saturday Paper, Martin McKenzie-Murray, on the trafficking of fake orphans, and whether Australia is finally ready to confront its role in the trade.

Jeremy Ambler is a character actor from "Walking Dead" the "Wrong Turn" remake, "Pro Wrestlers VS Zombies", "The Road", soon to be in "Don't Let The Cat Out", and many more motion pictures! This interview occurs on 7-21-2024, at The Tally Ho Theater in Leesburg, Virginia. The cosmic opportunity presented itself while Yachtley Crew was touring through town. Jeremy and his Mom brought along with them several printouts of a scene I appear in with the Orphans on the steps with Cab Calloway, in the movie "Blues Brothers". They also brought a few different sized toy replicas of The Bluesmobile from "Blues Brothers". It was an honour to be asked to sign all items!

Haldon has beaten Tyrion every previous game, so he eagerly accepts Tyrion's wager that the loser must share some secrets. Tyrion hustles to victory and when a giant turtle, known as the Old Man of the River, bellows close by, Tyrion thinks that wonders often herald the arrival of kings.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Tyrion Lannister - Youngest son of Tywin Lannister whom he recently murdered.

4/27/2025 - 1 Timothy 6 - Nathaniel Skelly: When God's Children Act Like Orphans by Pastor Dennis Fountain

What's the difference between a bank and a credit union? More than you might think.At first glance, banks and credit unions can seem pretty similar as they both offer valuable financial services. But dig a little deeper, and you'll find that credit unions can be a powerful partner for managing money. Aaron Caid joins us to explain why.Aaron Caid is the Chief Marketing Officer at Christian Community Credit Union, an underwriter of Faith & Finance. A Different Kind of Financial InstitutionCredit unions stand apart from traditional banks because they are not-for-profit cooperatives owned by their members. That means the focus is on long-term member relationships, and service is preeminent.However, Christian Community Credit Union (CCCU) goes a step further. Their mission is rooted in striving to serve and love others like Christ. This distinctly faith-based approach transforms everyday banking into a form of ministry that seeks to honor God and expand His Kingdom.At Christian Community Credit Union (CCCU), they help members align their finances with their biblical worldview. That includes offering loans to build churches and support Christ-centered ministries, turning ordinary financial tools into extraordinary Kingdom-building instruments.Surprising Strength in Rates and ServicesMany people assume credit unions can't compete with traditional banks regarding rates, but that's a misconception. Because credit unions don't exist to make profits for shareholders, they can return those profits to our members through better rates and lower fees.Here's a snapshot of Christian Community Credit Union's (CCCU) current offerings:Harvest High-Yield Checking: 4% APY on balances up to $5,000 with no maintenance feesHarvest High-Yield Savings: 5% APY on the first $5,000Welcome CD: 4.5%–4.75% APY on 5- and 10-month termsCash Back Credit Card: 1.5% cash back and a donation to Christian causes with every swipeCCCU also offers vehicle loans, mortgages, and home equity lines of credit at competitive rates, digital banking, and 24/7 member support.Beyond rates and products, CCCU is also committed to spiritual growth through financial stewardship. They provide resources from trusted partners like FaithFi and Compass Financial Ministry to help our members grow in their financial discipleship.It's not just about managing money well—it's about managing money faithfully.Funding Ministry and Fueling the GospelOne of the most inspiring aspects of CCCU is its direct support of ministry work. CCCU specializes in ministry lending, and with over $1 billion in ministry loans funded, it understands what churches and ministries need.From property and equipment loans to operating accounts and reserve fund solutions, CCCU partners with ministries financially and missionarily.Plus, their giving program has donated more than $6.5 million to Christian causes. That includes ministries fighting human trafficking, protecting vulnerable children, providing disaster relief, and sharing the gospel worldwide.Becoming a Member is EasySo, how can you join?Membership is open to Christians and Christian ministries nationwide. You can become a member through your church, school, a partner ministry like Christian Alliance for Orphans, or even through a family member.With a streamlined online process, starting banking with your values is easier than ever. When your money is aligned with your faith, it does more than grow—it gives, serves, and multiplies for God's glory.To learn more or become a member, visit joinchristiancommunity.com.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have a 401(k) at a place where I used to work about 15 years ago, at the University of North Chicago. It's about $15,000, and I have not been at that job for over 15 years. I want to know if it's a good idea to move it. Should I combine it with my current 401(k), or should I just leave it there?I have a stock in my portfolio that is losing between 40 and 47%. It has an F rating and is a large part of my portfolio. I want to sell it, but I want to know what to do with it after I sell it. I have it in Schwab, and I'm wondering if there's a better fund I could put it in since I have a lot sitting there.I'm contributing to an employer 457(b) plan. Those funds are going into a Roth plan, and I am contributing the maximum amount. I'm married and over 50. I'd like to know if I can also open a personal Roth IRA and a traditional Roth IRA.I would like to sell a piece of land, but I want to sell it to a developer, maybe someone who would be developing a spa, a hotel, or something similar. I want to know where I can go to access or look for developers who would be interested in purchasing my land.My husband and I didn't file taxes from 2016 to 2022, and sadly, he passed away recently. There are IRS notices with increased penalties and interest. Do I have to list the fact that there is a withholding on the IRS notices, even though I didn't have any income, and it was all his income?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly MagazineChristian Community Credit Union (CCCU)Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on Money (Pre-Order)Look At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

In this powerful sermon, I Will Not Leave You Orphans, Ps. Morgan explores the orphan spirit—a deep-seated sense of rejection, abandonment, and performance-based identity that stems from wounds, particularly from father figures. He explains that many people, despite knowing the right thing to do, remain stuck in destructive cycles because their core beliefs have been shaped by pain. This orphan spirit convinces individuals they must earn love, that they are unworthy of acceptance, and that they are ultimately alone. Through the lens of John 14:15-18, where Jesus promises not to leave His followers as orphans, Ps. Morgan emphasizes that healing begins when we replace these false beliefs with the truth of our identity as God's children.

Finding a cause worth dying for is no great trick—the Universe is full of them. Finding one worth living for is the genuine problem! Orphans of the Void by Michael Shaara. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.How many vintage science fiction authors won a Pulitzer Prize? Ray Bradbury never won a Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, but received a Pulitzer Special Citation in 2007 for his impact on literature. The answer is three. Booth Tarkington, MacKinlay Kantor and Michael Shaara. Booth Tarkington is one of only four novelists to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction more than once, along with William Faulkner, John Updike, and Colson Whitehead. Tarkington wrote only three short sci-fi stories. MacKinlay Kantor wrote eight short sci-fi stories and one science fiction novel If the South Had Won the Civil War released in 1961.Michael Shaara is the most well known of the three. Shaara was born in Jersey City, New Jersey in 1928. Before he began selling sci-fi for 2 cents a word in the 1950s he was a boxer and a police officer. He won his Pulitzer for his novel about the Battle of Gettysburg, The Killer Angels which won the award in 1975, and was showcased on the big screen in the 1993 movie Gettysburg starring Tom Berenger and Martin Sheen.Shaara also wrote the 1991 novel For Love of the Game which was made into the 1999 film with the same name starring Kevin Costner and Kelly Preston. But it all began back in 1952. He wrote two dozen short sci-fi stories and this was his first. From Galaxy Science Fiction in June 1952, we will discover this tale of artificial intelligence, and the fate of a forgotten world on page 78, Orphans of the Void by Michael Shaara...Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Renwick, with too much time on his hands, was bored. He turned to Mead, in his discontent, only to discover some frightening aspects of his friend's hobby of collecting children's games and rhymes.

Through the lens of John 14:15-18, where Jesus promises not to leave His followers as orphans, Ps. Morgan emphasizes that healing begins when we replace these false beliefs with the truth of our identity as God's children. He traces the orphan spirit's generational impact, showing how it manifests in biblical figures like Joseph, David, and Jacob, as well as in our own lives through insecurity, self-sabotage, and relational dysfunction. Ps. Morgan shares his personal journey of overcoming father wounds, explaining that true freedom doesn't come from trying harder or performing better but from fully surrendering to Christ. By recognizing the wound, restoring relationships, receiving God's love, and breaking generational cycles, we can move from an orphan mindset to sonship, embracing the wholeness and belonging that only God provides.
