Film critic Robert Daniels (RogerEbert.com, The New York Times) joins Michael Phillips to test one of Hollywood's most enduring bits of studio wisdom, attributed to producer Samuel Goldwyn: "Pictures are for entertainment, messages should be delivered by Western Union." From I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang, High Noon, and The Best Years of Our Lives to Origin, Don't Look Up, and Triangle of Sadness, Michael and Robert discuss why some films are elevated by their ideas while others collapse under them, and whether the most effective message movies are the ones that never look like message movies at all.

So, my cohort in crime, Teddy, will not be joining us on the show today because Teddy is a brand new daddy. That’s right, he’s a father of a beautiful baby girl, which of course makes me a grandfather. Oh my God, I can’t even believe I’m saying that. She is just cute as a button, and I’m not just saying that because it’s my granddaughter. She really is. Her name is Alianna, and we are all so excited and happy about this. I can’t even begin to tell you. But Teddy has got his hands full with his beautiful wife and his beautiful new daughter, so I will be flying solo today with you. Evan Nappen 01:17 at I want to talk about is something important for gun owners in New Jersey to know, and even outside New Jersey. And that is the basics of how New Jersey bans all guns, and then creates a legal system that essentially allows and permits possession by exemption. I think this is why the entire foundation of New Jersey gun laws can eventually be completely wiped out because it takes what is a constitutional right and just reverses how that right is supposed to work. But nonetheless, the law is something you need to understand in New Jersey. And for those who don’t live in New Jersey, you want to understand this so you don’t ever see this happen in your jurisdiction. Evan Nappen 02:18 he place to begin is under New Jersey law, under N.J.S. 2C:39-5 (Unlawful possession of weapons.). Now, the 39-5. gun laws in New Jersey are where you see basically every firearm banned. Then the exemptions get created in two ways that essentially permit limited possession. It’s really insane when you think that a constitutional right is treated in this way, but yet it is. So, let’s take a look, beginning with 39-5., 2C:39-5. Now, subsection a. is a ban on machine guns, and what it says there is that any person who knowingly has in his possession any machine gun or any instrument or device adaptable for use as a machine gun, without being licensed to do so pursuant to (2C:)58-5, is guilty of a crime of the second degree. So, the only way to possess a machine gun in New Jersey is if you have a 58-5. machine gun license, and the machine gun license historically has been an impossibility to obtain. Page – 2 – of 9 Evan Nappen 03:51 But interestingly, I think we’re going to see some serious challenges because the way New Jersey structured this law, the machine gun license required you first to get a carry permit. At the time, virtually no one could get a (New Jersey permit to) carry. Now, over 100,000 Jerseyans and non-residents do have carry permits, and the standard that you’re left with the machine gun license is quite bizarre of having to show somehow it’s in the public interest for you to have it. And that’s absolutely contrary to Bruen, but for now, the number one thing to keep in mind is the machine gun prohibition does not have any other exemptions within New Jersey law. Only this license is the exemption. And when I say no other exemption, I’m talking about for an otherwise law-abiding citizen to possess. There are exemptions for certain military, police, etc. There’s exemptions even for dealers, but we’re not focused on that. We’re focused on other normal, law-abiding, average citizens. So, forget about it for machine guns. Evan Nappen 05:02 But let’s move now to the b. section of 39-5. Now that’s one that applies to a hell of a lot of folks in New Jersey. The b. section of 39-5 is handguns. Listen to how New Jersey bans handguns. New Jersey’s law says: Handguns. Any person who knowingly has in his possession any handgun, including any antique handgun, without having first obtained a permit to carry the same as provided in (2C:)58-4., is guilty of a crime of the second degree. Let that sink in, folks. The only way you can lawfully possess a handgun, possess. We’re not even talking about carry. The only way to lawfully possess that handgun on the face of the statute that prohibits the possession of a handgun is if you have a (New Jersey) permit to carry a handgun. Evan Nappen 06:06 Now I know there are a lot of folks out there that don’t have permits to carry that simply acquired a handgun with a permit to purchase a handgun. So, how can this be? How can you lawfully possess that handgun if you don’t have a carry permit when the statute requires you to have a carry permit? And if you don’t have a carry permit, you’re guilty of unlawful possession of a handgun right on the face of the statute, which is an extraordinarily serious offense. Unlawful possession of a handgun in New Jersey is a second-degree crime. New Jersey doesn’t use the term felony. They use the term crime, but it’s the equivalent of a felony. You can think of it in that way. It carries up to 10 years in State Prison, and it has a minimum mandatory three and a half years under what is called the Graves Act. Where if you’re convicted of unlawful possession of a handgun after a trial, a judge has absolutely zero discretion and must impose at least three and a half years as a minimum component of your sentence with no ability to be paroled. You do every day of that three and a half years before you’re even eligible for parole. Evan Nappen 07:31 So, since you have to have a carry to possess it, what about everyone who doesn’t? Well, the answer to that lies in the exemptions, and we’ll get to the exemptions in a moment because we’re going to talk about exemptions. But right now, we’re just talking about the statute itself that mandates a (New Jersey) carry permit in order to legally possess a handgun. Under subsection c., is rifles and shotguns, and there it says: any person who knowingly has in his possession any rifle or shotgun without having first obtained a firearm purchaser ID card in accordance with (2C:)58-3, is guilty of a crime of the third degree. So, that makes it a third degree crime, up to five years in State Prison, if you have a shotgun or Page – 3 – of 9 rifle without a firearm ID card. The law goes further to say, unless otherwise permitted by law, any person who knowingly has in his possession any loaded rifle or shotgun is guilty of a crime in third degree. So, what about those that possess rifles or shotguns without a firearms ID card? Well, on the face of this statute, you’re looking at up to five years in State Prison. However, we’re going to discuss the exemptions, and the exemptions are critical in understanding how these possessory laws actually work. Even though the exemptions are technically a defense that you, as a law-abiding citizen, can be put to the proofs where you have to prove the defense. Evan Nappen 09:03 Then there’s subsection d. of 39-5. Subsection d. is “other weapons”, and that says: any person who knowingly has in his possession any other weapon under circumstances not manifestly appropriate for such lawful uses as it may have, is guilty of a crime of the fourth degree. So, that’s up to a year and a half in State Prison for any “other weapon”, anything that may be construed as a weapon, if it’s possessed under circumstances not manifestly appropriate for such lawful uses as it may have. Look at that vague, ridiculous language there. So, anything that can be construed to be a weapon, and then the circumstances not manifestly appropriate become subject for a jury trial. So that 12 people who aren’t smart enough to avoid jury duty get to decide whether those circumstances were manifestly appropriate or not. Isn’t that cute? And you need to further know that New Jersey case law, through Kelly and Montalvo, they found that the so-called circumstance is not manifestly appropriate for such lawful uses as it may have. In Kelly, the court specifically found that self-defense was not a manifestly appropriate lawful use. Imagine that! You cannot preemptively arm yourself with a weapon under Kelly. Self-defense doesn’t cut it. But then Kelly got modified with Montalvo. If it’s in your home, if it’s in your home and you have it for self-defense, then the court actually finally came to its senses, at least on that, and said, yeah, self-defense possession in your home is manifestly appropriate circumstances, but not outside the home. So, we still need a case that says outside the home, where you’re lawfully allowed to use self-defense, where you have a right to self-defense. That even outside the home, it’s a manifestly appropriate use for any other weapon. We’ll talk more about that one in the future. Okay, but there you go. Those are the prohibitions. Evan Nappen 11:32 Then, of course, we have the infamous subsection f., and that’s where assault firearms are banned. It says: any person who knowingly has in his possession an assault firearm is guilty of a crime of the second degree. Again, that draconian Graves Act, up to 10 years, minimum mandatory three and a half. Except if the assault firearm is licensed pursuant to (2C:)58-5. And by the way, that’s the same license as a machine gun license, which virtually no one could ever get. Or rendered inoperable, and that render inoperable period went from May of ’90 to May of ’91. And you had to do a rendered inoperable form. If you didn’t do it then, you’re out of the box. You couldn’t do it. Or if it was registered. Again, that registration period expired back in ’90. It may have ’90 to ’91 as well. So, assault firearms became prohibited with no way of making them lawful after May of ’91, unless you could somehow get an assault firearm license, which was a de facto impossibility, a de facto ban. Evan Nappen 12:52 In fact, as determined in the federal court decision Coalition versus Florio that I brought, it was determined that it was a de facto ban. So, that license is known, you know, essentially it was viewed as Page – 4 – of 9 fake in so many words. You know, yeah, good luck. Like it was just structured to be an impossibility and even recognized as such by essentially by the court. So, if you had an assault firearm, there was nothing that could be done there. Exemptions that we’re going to discuss next do not apply to assault firearms. he exemptions only apply to B, C, and D. So remember, B. is the ban on handguns unless you have a (New Jersey) carry permit. C. is a ban on rifles and shotguns unless you have a firearms ID card, and D. is a ban on “other weapons” without manifest lawful purpose. Evan Nappen 13:52 However, what the statute in 39-5 does not reference, but you need to know, is that under N.J.S. 2C:39-6, you will find an entire host of exemptions. There’s exemptions for law enforcement, military, all kinds, tons of exemptions. But the exemptions that have the most bearing to the average, law-abiding citizen, they’re found in subsection e. and subsection f. of the exemptions. Let me read you what these exemptions say. The exemptions say that nothing in subsection b., c., and d. of 39-5, so that is handguns, rifles and shotguns, and other weapons under the 39-5 ban, shall be construed to prevent a person keeping or carrying about the person’s place of business, residence, premises or other land owned or possessed by the person, any firearm, or from carrying the same, in the manner specified in subsection g., which is unloaded and in a case or in the trunk, or in a securely wrapped package, from any place of purchase to the person’s residence or place of business, between the person’s dwelling and place of business, between one place of business or residence and another when moving, or between the person’s dwelling or place of business and place where the firearms are repaired, for the purpose of repair. For the purposes of this section, a place of business shall be deemed to be a fixed location. Evan Nappen 15:42 So, subsection e. of 39-6 exempts law-abiding citizens in New Jersey for possession of handguns, rifles and shotguns, and other weapons in their home, and you do not need a (New Jersey) carry permit. You do not need a firearms ID card. You do not need to have manifest lawful purpose, so-called. As long as you are simply possessing in your home, you are exempted from those requirements under 39-5. It is a law that allows possession by exemption unless one has licenses, and if you have licenses, then you’re exempt under the face of the statute. And if you have a license and you’re within exemption, you have double protection, essentially. And the exemption under subsection e. applies to home. It applies to place of business. Now that means a business you actually own. It’s not just the place you work. It’s got to be your place of business that you own. The courts have narrowly interpreted it to mean that. Not even a place you just manage. You’ve got to be an owner. It’s got to be your business. But if it is, then you have exemption there. You’re exempted for moving between your residences while moving, etc. That’s the exemption under subsection e. Evan Nappen 17:22 Then there’s an exemption under subsection f., and f. again exempts b., c., and d. of 39-5; handguns, rifles and shotguns, and other weapons under 39-5. ere the exemptions say that those prohibitions shall not apply to any member of a rifle or pistol club organized in accordance with the rules prescribed by the National Board for Promotion of Rifle Practice, in going to or from a place of target practice, carrying firearms necessary for target practice, provided the club has filed a copy of its charter with the superintendent and annually submits its list of members to the superintendent, and provided further that Page – 5 – of 9 the firearms are carried in a manner specified in subsection g., which is, of course, cased and unloaded. Evan Nappen 18:08 Here’s another exemption under f. under subsection (2). A person carrying a firearm or knife in the woods or fields, or upon the waters of the state for the purpose of hunting, target practice, or fishing, provided that the firearm is or knife is legal and appropriate for hunting and fishing purposes in the state, and the person has in the person’s possession a valid hunting license, or with respect to freshwater fishing, a valid fishing license. Number three, a person transporting any firearm or knife while traveling directly to or from place for purpose of hunting, fishing, provided you have a valid license, or directly to or from the target range, or other authorized place, for the purpose of practice match target trap skeet shooting expeditions. Provided during that whole time you’re transporting, you’re transporting pursuant to subsection g. Evan Nappen 19:18 So, the takeaway here is how New Jersey bans essentially all guns, and how the matrix is set up so that there are exemptions. Exemptions that we’ve just talked about. But keep in mind that the exemptions are a defense. The burden becomes on the defendant to have to prove that you’re within those exemptions. Otherwise you see bans. Bans that have only exemptions by way of licensing, unless you fall within those specific statutory exemptions. I think that structure is frankly disgusting as to how a constitutional right is and has been treated by New Jersey. But because of that structure, I also believe that we have a fantastic opportunity now as we see the empowerment of the Second Amendment to finally take out and take down the very foundation of New Jersey’s oppressive gun laws. Evan Nappen 20:36 By the way, I want to give you just a little heads up about a threat that is apparently lurking. This is weird and odd. I can’t hammer it down any more than what I’m going to tell you right now. But the news aggregate source called the Daily Caller, some of you may be aware of it, had an article that says “Anti-2A Group Plots New Gun Ban in New Jersey”. (https://dailycaller.com/2026/08/26/anti-2a-group-plots-new-gun-ban-in-blue-state/) This is August 26, 2026, by Harold Hutchison, who is a Second Amendment reporter that says the gun-control organization March for Our Lives, that’s the group headed up by that A one a hole of David Hogg. His group sent out an email fundraiser announcing plans to pass a weapons ban in New Jersey. And reading this is just bizarro. Remember Hogg has made his entire life and career over being a perpetual victim from the Parkland atrocity, and he’s an insane Left wing activist. By the way, if you’ve ever seen the stuff that he puts out. But anyway, this group uses this term “weapons of war”, “weapons of war”, and says, “The proposed weapons ban in New Jersey is a vital step toward getting weapons off our streets and protecting our neighborhoods from preventable tragedy.” This is a fundraiser being done by this group. Evan Nappen 22:49 When you look at the actual screenshot here from March for Our Lives, here’s what this screenshot says. From March for Our Lives. “We’re bumping this to the top of your inbox because we have a genuine, high-impact opportunity to push real gun safety forward — and we can’t afford to miss it. Right now, New Jersey lawmakers have a chance to pass critical legislation banning weapons of war from Page – 6 – of 9 our communities. When our generation first marched in 2018, people told us we were just angry kids who didn’t understand how politics worked. But together, we’ve proved that hope isn’t just a feeling — it’s an action.” And then it goes on to say, “From helping establish first-ever White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention to passing landmark federal legislation, we’ve seen what happens when young people organize and demand a better future. Passing this weapons ban in New Jersey isn’t just about one state — it sets a benchmark for the entire nation and proves that progress is unstoppable when we stand together.” Then it all says, “Will you take 10 seconds to add your name and show support for the NJ weapons ban today?” Evan Nappen 24:19 Okay. I’ve got to tell you, folks. I have no clue what the hell they’re talking about. First of all, New Jersey already has the most egregious assault firearm ban on the books and that has just taken a death punch by the Third Circuit Court of Appeals en banc with the magnificent decision wiping it out under the Second Amendment with both mags and guns. Now, granted, it is stayed at the moment because the Supreme Court has also taken up this issue. But what the hell are they talking about? New Jersey’s law is on its deathbed. It’s on life support, barely. Soon to die, and they’re talking about legislators in New Jersey promoting some weapons ban that they’re fundraising on. This is either complete fraud, which who knows with those people, or absolute mistake that they’ve confused states, I guess. Or maybe, just maybe, something else is cooking up in the New Jersey legislature. Maybe they’re tipped off to it, and I can’t find it anywhere. Maybe they’re going to try doing a kicking and screaming routine, just like they did after Bruen permitted carry and made it so New Jersey had to issue carry permits. And maybe now we’re going to see some evil plan after New Jersey’s assault firearm law bites the dust. So, this is maybe a load of B.S. nonsense. But then again, maybe it’s something out there, and we should be ready. hey may be trying to pull another Carry Killeresque maneuver on us. I don’t know, but stay tuned. As soon as we hear about anything that we can pin down, we’ll be sure in letting you know about it on the show. Evan Nappen 26:36 Hey, I want to tell you about our good friends at WeShoot. WeShoot is an indoor range in Lakewood, New Jersey. It’s the range where Teddy and I shoot, and where we train. You’ll love it at WeShoot. It is the greatest range in New Jersey. We just can’t get enough of WeShoot. I know you will really appreciate having a tremendous resource right there in Lakewood, where you can get your training, get your certificates, practice, have state-of-the-art range facilities, a great pro shop, awesome deals on guns and gear. As a matter of fact, they are offering, as we speak, the Canik Mete MC9LS, which is the 2026 Signature Series called “Drip”. It’s pretty cool. You’ve got to see the graphics on the Drip. They also have a Mossberg Silver Reserve Field. Now this is Mossberg’s over and under, very cool, and it’s a great way to get into an over and under shotgun. They also have Precision Firearms, PF15F. That’s your AR-type platform right there at WeShoot. You can go there, check out these guns and so many others. They’re also running their great programs. They have their range safety officers.

WeShoot is the best. o to WeShootUSA.com. Evan Nappen 29:22 Hey, I also want to not only shamelessly plug my book, which is New Jersey Gun Law, the Bible of Jersey Gun Law. The indispensable guidebook to helping you navigate New Jersey’s insane matrix of gun laws. It’s all set up in a question and answer format. I also want folks to know that the DOJ has opened up the Federal Relief from Disabilities Program. I’ve been waiting 33 years to be able to do this again, and that is be able to get people’s gun rights restored. That have had federal firearm prohibitors. This will restore your federal gun rights, and it is great. We really owe it to the Trump administration for reopening this program that was killed in ’93 by Chuck Schumer. For 33 years, people have been unable to regain their Second Amendment rights under federal law, if they had prohibitors. o, if you or anyone you know might be eligible, go to my website, go to EvanNappen.com. You can buy my book there. You can also read about the federal relief from disabilities. This is very hot, big stuff going on because the online portal is going to open shortly, and you want to be ready. You want to have counsel, and there’s a lot that has to get done so that we can get you in. They’re talking about probably a million people needing to get their rights restored, and it’s going to be quite a logjam. So, the sooner you’re in, the sooner you can get your rights back. I’d highly, highly recommend taking action and checking it out. Go to evannappen.com, and I’ll be happy to speak to you about your specific situation and if it’s applicable for you. Evan Nappen 31:40 Hey, I have some good news, and the good news is that the CDC, you know, the CDC, who’s currently headed by Robert Kennedy, and CDC that is now under the Trump administration. Well, guess what they did, folks? They restored defensive gun use data after Biden scrubbed it and covered it up because they didn’t want that really great important information being out there about how many lives guns save, so the corrupt Biden administration just said we’re not going to talk about it. We’re going to wipe it out. We’re not going to put that out there anymore. We’re only going to talk about guns are bad, and not ever talk about why guns are good. Well, it’s a new day. It’s a new administration, and that information has now been put back. I’m talking about an article here from Ammo and. (https://www.ammoland.com/2026/08/cdc-restores-defensive-gun-use-data/?utm_source=Ammoland+Subscribers&utm_campaign=b4aea4936c-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_6f6fac3eaa-b4aea4936c-21268623) Evan Nappen 32:56 We love AmmoLand, and this article is by John Crump, who is also one of my favorite authors at AmmoLand. John says that under the Biden administration they had removed the data, and the studies have shown that guns were used in self-defense between 60,000 times and 2.5 million times each year. Think about that, folks. 60,000 to 2.5 million times each year, guns are used in self-defense. So, even at the low range, that dwarfs the number of guns used in murders, which is approximately 15,000. Okay, dwarfs it at the lowest numbers. It approaches or exceeds the total number of gun deaths per year, which is around 40,000, according to Pew. The wide range of estimates is because of different methodologies used. So, the lower figure is drawn on the National Crime Victimization Survey, while the higher figures primarily stem from surveys conducted by criminologist Gary Kleck in the 1990s. Page – 8 – of 9 Evan Nappen 34:41 Now, a National Academies of Sciences report commissioned by the CDC itself in 2013, this is a CDC commission study. Referenced this range of 60,000 to 2.5 million defensive gun uses annually. But in 2022, with pressure from anti-gun groups such as the Gun Violence Archive, the Newtown Action Alliance, and GVPedia, in a private meeting, the CDC scrubbed the website of defensive gun use information. Through a Freedom of Information Act, they revealed that the removal was purely political, folks, and this is all according to emails that Senator Grassley obtained. One of these things here argued, and this is quoting from that email in the article by Mr. Crump, and it says. Get a load of this. This is from the antis here. “That 2.5 million number needs to be killed, buried, dug up, killed again, and buried again.” Mark Bryant, executive director of Gun Violence Archives, wrote to the CDC in one of his emails. See that? They don’t like it, man, when you’re showing that guns save lives. We can’t have truth out there. We can’t have the actual information about how people don’t want to be victims but would prefer to be defenders and live. Right? That’s Biden’s administration for you. That’s the corrupt, evil Biden administration for you, removing that information. Trump and his administration have put that data back public so you can see it and you can read it. Keep in mind that’s the CDC removing specific numeral range and the link from their own research, folks. But now, under Trump and Secretary Kennedy, the CDC is returning the statistics to its firearm injury and death page. The restored language again makes it clear, points it out that defensive gun use varies by studies, and it ranges from 60,000 to 2.5 million per year. That is awesome, and that information belongs out there. Evan Nappen 37:43 Hey, let me tell you about this week’s GOFU. GOFUs, as you know, are Gun Owner Fuck Ups. It’s where gun owners make expensive mistakes, real mistakes that I hear about and try to help them. But it’s a chance where you can avoid them for free, and this week’s GOFU has to do with references on your gun application. When you need references, please clear your references in advance. Make sure your references know you’re going to use them as a reference. I’ll tell you, we may have mentioned this before in the past, but it can’t hurt to mention it again. They’re going to get an email requesting to know how long they’ve known you and whether they have any issues with you owning guns. I get cases where people don’t bother to clear it, don’t realize the person is anti-gun and doesn’t think anyone should have a gun, or has some problem being a reference. You don’t want to have that problem. Evan Nappen 38:48 Yet recently, I’ve heard of even a worse problem, and this one is just mind-boggling. I’m still going to put it out there as a GOFU for folks because don’t ever do this. Don’t make up false references. Yeah, I’m not kidding. Do not fill out a gun application with fake references. I can’t believe I even have to say this. But do not fill out a gun application and make up phony references because your phony references are going to be contacted, and that’s called falsification of the application. It’s a crime to do that. Third degree. You’re looking at five years in State Prison. Plus, it’s really stupid, and you’ll get denied your gun license. I mean, okay, do you have to write that one down? Not to put fake references on your application? I hope not, but it’s a GOFU. Make sure you’re good about your references and clear them in advance. Only put real ones down, folks. Page – 9 – of 9 Evan Nappen 39:54 This is Evan Nappen reminding you that gun laws don’t protect honest citizens from criminals.

Things got a little TOO honest this week.
As part of a 3-part series on the divisions within political movements, David Hogg, founder and president of Leaders We Deserve, co-founder and board member of March for Our Lives, and former vice chair of the Democratic National Committee, talks about what's dividing the Democratic Party, from the fallout over the DNC's 2024 autopsy to the primary challenges his group is backing heading into the midterms.

"Our own personal longevity is only 25% genetic.

Then he left, wrote ROAR, built a company, and ran a marathon on every continent — most of it after 60. For his new book – Longevity Nation -- he interviewed more than 70 experts. Not just doctors. Technologists, urban planners, dermatologists, wealth strategists. What came back was a single, connected picture of what it actually takes to live a long life well — and it is far more in your hands than you have been led to believe. Here's what you'll take away: Life layering. Why the old sequence — school, work, retire — is obsolete, and how to build a second set of identities in your 50s, 60s, and beyond. The 57-year-old with the kids gone and the job gone is at a beginning, not an end. Proof it's never late. A woman took her first welding class at 70 and launched a business at 81. A veterinarian started school at 56. Baby steps, not overhauls. Michael's exact instruction for starting anything new — and why nobody solves this in a weekend. The money conversation nobody has. The one question to ask your bank that tells you whether your money outlives you. Plus a statistic about women and their finances that will make you sit up. Loneliness and frailty. Why your world quietly shrinks, how that becomes a physical problem, and the single habit every expert on this show agrees on. What's actually here now. Wearables, early-detection testing, GLP-1s beyond weight loss, and precision medicine built around your biology, not the average. And one thing to do this week. Just one. You'll know it when you hear it. You can't control getting older . . . but you can control how you do it.

Heidi tells Olis and Sam that she thought she'd found the solution early on, and didn't need all the tools found in the twelve steps. She learned later that alcoholism is a tricky disease. Sober in AA, Heidi helped her group get online during the pandemic, and that led her down a new path of service. She talks about the upcoming National AA Technology Workshop that is coming up the weekend of September 11. In the Ask it Basket Drew asks about the twelve steps.

Our Costa Rica trip was honestly one of our favorite family vacations EVER…and then the trip home happened.
#358: Today's solo episode started as a reflection on my own disillusionment and turned into a bigger theme: de-influencing. De-influencing myself from glow-up culture, from FOMO, and so much more. The more I let go of what I'm "supposed" to want, the luckier I actually feel — and I think most of us have at least one thing we're still letting an algorithm or a comment section talk us into.If you've ever gone along with something because you thought you were supposed to want it, only to realize once you were in it that it didn't actually feel good, this episode is for you. I'm getting into what it looks like to actually listen to that feeling instead of pushing through it, and what's on the other side when you do.This episode is for you if…You're tired of contorting yourself to be palatable and want permission to stop.You've ever felt FOMO about an event, a trip, or an opportunity and needed someone to talk you off the ledge.You're ready to get harder to influence, and luckier for it.Sponsors:Luxe Tribes: Visit https://www.luxetribes.com and use code LUCKY at checkout for $100 off your first trip.Rula: Rula patients typically pay $15 per session when using insurance.

Brian welcomes singer-songwriter and author Laura Story to discuss her new book Stand in Awe: How Reverence Transforms Our Worship and Our Lives. Laura unpacks what reverence really means — approaching God with humility and surrender rather than treating Him like "a genie in a lamp" — and walks through four common tendencies that erode it: casual worship, self-focused worship, shallow worship, and distracted worship. She talks about living out that reverence seven days a week, not just on Sunday mornings, and points to Isaiah's vision in Isaiah 6 as a model of awe leading to surrender and mission. The conversation closes with the story behind her hit song "Blessings," written in the aftermath of her husband's brain tumor diagnosis and the lasting brain injury that followed, and how she's stepped back from touring to focus on her four kids while continuing to write and record.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Our first guest Robin Baker describes three big black cat sightings from the Forest of Dean and two pieces of his resulting artwork which include black leopards. Robin also explains his ‘Big Five' creatures of the Dean which feature in his artwork.Robin also explains the scowles of the Forest of Dean, a landform which inspired Tolkein's Lord of the Ring's Middle-earth landscape. The scowles are gullies in the woods, produced by ancient iron ore mining and now used as eerie backdrops to Star Wars and Harry Potter film scenes. These channels are also highly suited to big cats, for their routes and their ambush positions.Our second guest is Gary Ridley, back from episode 131. He fronted the recent Big Cat Investigator program in the BBC Our Lives series, available on I Player. Gary responds to podcast listeners' different feedback on the program. The program had an emphasis of the quest rather than the proof, and Rick and Gary discuss a key item which didn't make the final edit… Word of the week: scowles29 July 2026

Have you ever looked back over your life and realized that God was writing a story far greater than you could have imagined?In this episode of the Anchored by the Sword Podcast, I sit down with Tamara Hester Battaglia, author and curator of the beautiful devotional Written in Heaven: His Story, Our Lives. Together, we talk about trusting God's timing, finding peace in seasons of uncertainty, and learning to see His fingerprints all throughout our lives.Tamara shares her incredible personal journey—from walking through divorce after 24 years of marriage, navigating 17 years of singleness, discovering an unexpected ministry as a flight attendant, and eventually finding love again through God's unmistakable orchestration.One of my favorite parts of our conversation is hearing how God slowly transformed Tamara from someone who needed every detail planned into someone who could wake up each day and simply ask, "Lord, where are You taking me today?" It's a beautiful reminder that while we love our planners (yes...I definitely relate!), God is the One directing every step.In this episode we discuss:How God meets us in seasons of heartbreak and uncertaintyLearning to trust God's plans over our ownWhy our lives are never randomFinding ministry opportunities in everyday momentsThe incredible story of how God orchestrated Tamara's second marriageThe importance of recognizing God's faithfulness by looking back over our livesWhy writing your own testimony can strengthen your faithHow Written in Heaven brings together 40 women of faith to share their personal God storiesPractical encouragement for letting go of anxiety and resting in God's promisesTamara also shares the Scripture that keeps her anchored—Proverbs 3:5-6—reminding us to trust in the Lord with all our hearts instead of leaning on our own understanding.One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation is this: our stories matter because they point people to God's faithfulness. When we take time to remember what He's done, we begin to see that He has been working behind the scenes all along.If you've been struggling to trust God's timing, wondering why life hasn't gone according to your plans, or simply need the reminder that He is still writing your story, I pray this conversation encourages your heart.Stay anchored in His promises, trust the Author of your story, and remember—your life is never random.Bio:Tamara Hester Battaglia, with nearly two decades of experience as a flight attendant, has traveled the globe, sharing the love of Jesus and seeing the world thru his eyes. Tamara hails from Pasadena, Texas, and currently resides in a quaint little town in Tennessee, with her husband, Joe. Her life revolves around traveling, gardening, bird watching, and spending precious moments with her husband, children, and four grandchildren.Anchor Verses:Proverbs 3:5-6Connect with Tamara:IG: https://www.instagram.com/tamarahesterbattaglia/***We love hearing from you!

Here's How with Chris Allen Fruitful with Laura Dugger Gospel Scripture: (all NIV) Romans 3:23 “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” Romans 3:24 “and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.” Romans 3:25 (a) “God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood.” Hebrews 9:22 (b) “without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.” Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:11 “Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.” John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Romans 10:9 “That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Luke 15:10 says “In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” Romans 8:1 “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 1:13–14 “And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession- to the praise of his glory.” Ephesians 1:15–23 “For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.” Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God‘s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.“ Ephesians 2:13 “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.“ Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

In an oppressive and hateful society, joy is an audacious form of resistance. Today on the show, we're celebrating Pride in July. Host Ali Muldrow is joined by two guests in the studio, Alexandria Delcourt and Sean O'Brien. They tell stories about LGBTQ Wisconsin, what's hopeful and harmful in our political moment, and how not to let fascism rain on your Pride parade. They reflect on Pride events last month, including the state's first two spirit pow wow that Delacourt profiled for Our Lives magazine. O'Brien says that he's seen a growth in Pride festivals in small towns all over Wisconsin, debunking the idea that queer folks aren't welcome except in metropolitan areas. Meanwhile, policies related to healthcare and education make it hard for people just to be people in Wisconsin. Some hospitals aren't providing gender affirming care right now, due to a Trump administration change in funding. Just this spring, the Watertown school board canceled a student performance of “A Mother of a Revolution,” an instrumental song that pays tribute to trans activist Marsha P. Johnson. A lack of education and understanding drives hate, and the antidote is advocacy and representation. There are three LGBTQ+ candidates running for state office this season. Alexandria Delcourt is a writer and editor based in Madison. She earned her MFA in fiction in 2014, taught English and Creative Writing at UW-Whitewater, co-produced the Moth StorySLAM, and now works as an editor for Our Lives. Sean O'Brien is the Policy and Advocacy Director at Fair Wisconsin, the state's only LGBTQ+ civil rights and political advocacy organization. He is also serving his first term on the Madison Common Council. Featured image of a Pride memorial outside The Stonewall Inn Wikimedia Commons (CC BY-SA 4.0). Did you enjoy this story?

Journey Church Sunday Worship Gathering Audio - Bozeman, Montana
Brian Priebe | Executive Pastor | July 5, 2026 Referenced Scripture: Romans12:1-21, Matthew 5:44, Matthew 7:12, Matthew 22:39 Reflection Questions:1. What's one thing that stood out to you from the sermon and why? 2. How would people close to you rate your seeking of relationship over seeking revenge on a scale of 1-10? 3. What motivates you to seek relationship over revenge? Can you share an experience of seeking relationship after being hurt that was meaningful to you? 4. What are Biblical examples of Jesus seeking relationship over revenge? 5. Do you find that revenge or relationship comes to you more naturally? Why or Why not? What things make it challenging for you? 6. One of Brian's focal points was that Jesus' death on the cross offers us a mercy that we ought to be able to pass along to others. Do you agree or disagree? Why? Can you give an example of how that practically plays out in your day to day life? 7. What would the church look like if everyone took the posture of pursuing relationship over revenge in relation to the daily hurts we incur from people around us. 8. Brian referenced the idea that we tend to seek control as a motivating factor in ultimately choosing revenge over relationship. Do you find maintianing control a challenge in your life and if so, why? What's your next step? * Connect: We'd love to connect with you!

Sunday Worship July 5th, 2026 “How the Law Works in Our Lives” Romans 7:7-13 Rev. Bailey Wagner Sermon Audio Sermon Outline: The Law Reveals Sin The Law Results in Death The Law Reorients us to Jesus The post How the Law Works in Our Lives appeared first on East Charlotte Pres.
The GLoP crew celebrates America's 250th birthday the only way they know how: by trying to name five movies that explain the country and somehow ending up in a ditch full of Fire Birds, Paper Moon, The Best Years of Our Lives, the mayor from Jaws, Mel Brooks at 100, Gila monsters, late-stage capitalism, early-stage diarrhea, and the eternal question of whether this is still technically a pop-culture podcast. It's patriotic, digressive, occasionally disgusting, and probably more grateful for Western civilization than Western civilization deserves.

What if “getting older” didn't have to mean managing decline? Today, Michael Clinton explores the new landscape of modern longevity—from culture shifts to cutting-edge science—in Longevity Nation: The People, Ideas, and Trends Changing the Second Half of Our Lives. Then we get practical with health and longevity practitioner Jason Prall, who lays out a grounded, do-this-now roadmap in Beyond Longevity: A Plan for Healing Faster, Feeling Better, and Thriving at Any Age. Two complementary takes on the same question: how do you add years and make those years feel worth living?
#351: I'm sitting down with Lisa Price — founder of Carol's Daughter — to talk about growing, pivoting, and changing direction publicly.Lisa has been building Carol's Daughter for 33 years. She's navigated equity partners, a major acquisition, public scrutiny, and ultimately buying her company back on her own terms. And through all of it, she's operated from a practice she's had long before it had a name — acting as if.We talk about what it actually looks like to claim something before you can prove it. The gratitude practice that rewired how she moves through hard seasons. What she learned about her own role when she became a "small fish in a big pond." And why the easiest, most peaceful deal of her career only felt that way because of everything hard that came before it.This isn't a story about random luck. It's a story about preparation, posture, and trusting yourself enough to decorate the tree and make the cookies while you're waiting on the yes.This episode is for you if...You're holding the vision of something you're buildingYou're in a season of waiting and struggling to stay grounded in what you know is comingYou've been through something hard in business and are trying to make sense of what it was forYou're learning how to tell the difference between the right opportunity and just any opportunityYou've outgrown hustle culture but haven't fully landed on what replaces itYou want to build with peace, not just with ambitionYou're navigating public perception of something you've poured your whole self intoYou're ready to stop performing confidence and start actually practicing itEpisode Links:Follow Lisa on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamlisaprice/Follow Lisa on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@iamlisaprice?lang=enFollow Carol's Daughter on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@carolsdaughter?lang=enVisit the Carol's Daughter website: https://carolsdaughter.com/Sponsors:Nebula: Go to Nebula: Spiritual Guidance Space https://nebulaapp.onelink.me/AaEA/nskvi42c and get 3 minutes for free to chat with 3 psychics matched to you.Cotton: Cotton is The Fabric of Our Lives.

Living abroad is not one big romantic leap. It is a process, and Kim is breaking it down into the stages she has experienced after moving from California to France.In this episode, Kim shares what life is like in the first year. She shares how these can often feel like the “toddler years” of expat life, when everything feels magical, confusing and slightly humiliating, from speaking in broken sentences to surviving the French post office. She also talks about the second-year homesickness that can hit when the novelty wears off, the cultural traditions you start to miss, and the deeper questions that come with building a new life far from home.Now in her third year, Kim reflects on the quiet confidence that comes with feeling more settled, speaking French more comfortably, letting go of old expectations, and noticing the small moments that make life feel fuller. From Aperol spritzes and sugary French cocktails to raising kids abroad and rediscovering herself, this is an honest look at what it really feels like to grow into a life in another country.Resources:Episode mentioned: Are These the Best Years of Our Lives?Episode mentioned: What No One Tells You About Moving AbroadDon't forget to subscribe, rate & review and follow us on Instagram @coucou.pod
#350: In this episode, I'm sitting down with journalist, podcast host, and founder Gia Peppers to explore what it really means to shine—not from a place of performance, but from alignment.Because many of us have confused visibility with validation. We thought shining meant being seen, being chosen, being applauded.But what happens when the applause fades… or never comes?Gia takes us through her journey, from chasing the “dream opportunity” that was supposed to change everything, to having it fall apart in a way that forced her to confront herself, her faith, and what she actually wanted.We talk about the quiet work. The healing work. The kind of work that doesn't trend, doesn't go viral but changes everything.This conversation is about redefining success, releasing timelines, and learning how to show up fully—without needing permission, validation, or a co-sign.It's about shifting from “Who's shining a light on me?” to “What's shining through me?”And once you feel that shift… you can't unsee it.This episode is for you if…You've ever felt like you did everything “right”… and it still didn't work outYou're tired of performing your life instead of actually living itYou're in a season of healing, but questioning if it's workingYou're learning how to release timelines and trust divine timingYou're redefining what success looks like for youYou've outgrown validation, but are still figuring out what replaces itYou feel pulled in multiple directions and want to explore more than one version of yourselfYou're navigating comparison, social media fatigue, or creative burnoutYou're ready to take up space without shrinking, apologizing, or dimming your lightEpisode Links:Follow Gia on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/giapeppers/Subscribe to Gia's podcast, Healed Girl Era: https://lnkfi.re/healedgirlrerapodJoin the Creatives of Faith Community: https://www.creativesoffaith.com/Sponsors:Nebula: Go to Nebula: Spiritual Guidance Space https://nebulaapp.onelink.me/AaEA/j53blqjz and get 3 minutes for free to chat with 3 psychics matched to you.Cotton: Cotton is The Fabric of Our Lives.

Bill, whose article appears in the June 2026 issue of Grapevine, tells Olis and Don that he had to learn to do what AA asks you to do. In the beginning he did not get the ideas of alcoholism as an allergy, or the phenomenon of craving, but his sponsor helped him understand these things about himself. He came in thinking his life was over, but now thinks of sober times when his face hurt from smiling and laughing so much. Leslie shares about the benefits of Grapevine. In Using the Traditions in Our Lives we hear thoughts on Tradition Six from DeEtte, Courtney and Sarah. While we provide the podcast at no charge, we do have expenses.

We share who our favorite guests were, which episodes deeply ministered to us, and what we are hoping for in this next season. Thank you for spending this season with us, friends.

What risks have I been asked to take lately? What expectations is God inviting me to release? What is the pace of beauty in my life? What fears am I carrying below the surface today? Discussion Questions: What struck you throughout this season? How has your life changed during this season? When have you been tempted to possess rather than receive? What gifts has God given you this year? Where is the Holy Spirit already moving in your life? Quote to Ponder: "Above all, trust in the slow work of God. We are, quite naturally, impatient in everything to reach the end without delay. We should like to skip the intermediate stages. We are impatient of being on the way to something unknown, something new. And yet it is the law of all progress that it is made by passing through some stages of instability—and that may take a very long time." (Pierre Teilhard de Chardin) Scripture for Lectio: "He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end."

Joe Sudbay is guest hosting for John. He talks about the pressing issues surrounding the recent revelations of Trump's proposed $1.8 billion slush fund aimed at compensating the January 6th insurrectionists. Joe explores the implications of this unprecedented move, questioning the integrity of a democracy that would consider funding those who attacked the Capitol. Then, Joe is joined by Jacqueline Coren, the executive director of March for Our Lives, who shares her powerful story as a survivor of the Parkland shooting and discusses their new campaign, Ripple Effect, aimed at raising awareness about the long-term consequences of gun violence. Following that, community activist Danny Cook joins the conversation to talk about her initiative, Project for the People, which empowers citizens to engage in grassroots organizing around critical issues affecting their communities, including healthcare and social services. Finally, Joe welcomes back journalist Jonathan Larson to dissect the chaotic landscape of American politics, including the media's role in shaping narratives and the ongoing challenges posed by the current administration. Together, they examine the urgent need for accountability and the importance of civic engagement in these tumultuous times.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In this episode, we reflect on how Pentecost is more than just an event of the past, but can be an ongoing outpouring of God's love and grace in our lives today. We discuss how the Holy Spirit helps heal our wounds, restores communion with God, and teaches us how to live with power and boldness, even in the places where we feel unable to love the Lord. As we prepare our hearts for Pentecost, we talk practically about cultivating a posture of receptivity, learning to invite the Holy Spirit more deeply into our hearts, and how to allow His fire to illuminate our identity and transform us from within. The Holy Spirit is alive within us, able to enter even the locked places of our hearts, and desires to help us bear much fruit in our lives.

Where in my life do I feel powerless? Am I allowing the Holy Spirit to make me more like Jesus? How am I rationing the boldness of the Holy Spirit? Where do I need to unlock the doors of my heart? Discussion Questions: How can you welcome the Holy Spirit into your life in a deeper way? What does it look like to experience the Holy Spirit in community? What gifts of the Holy Spirit do you desire to empower your work of building the Kingdom of God? How will you celebrate Pentecost? Quotes to Ponder: "If there be among the gifts of God none greater than love, and there is no greater gift of God than the Holy Spirit, what follows more naturally than that He is Himself love…." (Saint Augustine) "This great mystical tradition . . . shows how prayer can progress, as a genuine dialogue of love, to the point of rendering the person wholly possessed by the divine Beloved, vibrating at the Spirit's touch, resting filially within the Father's heart." (Pope Saint John Paul II, Novo Millennio Ineunte, Paragraph 33) "A noble and delicate soul ... follows faithfully the faintest breath of the Holy Spirit; it rejoices in this Spiritual Guest and holds onto Him like a child to its mother." (The Diary of St. Faustina, Entry 148) Scripture for Lectio: "On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: "Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit." Then they gathered around him and asked him, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?" He said to them: "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight." (Acts 1:4-9) Sponsor - Mary's Meals: Every mother knows what it's like to want to protect their child and provide for them, to make sure there's food on the table, to make sure her child is safe, cared for, and able to grow into who God created them to be. But for millions of mothers around the world, hunger stands in the way of that hope. Their children walk to school carrying empty bowls, wondering if today they'll have anything to eat. And that's where Mary's Meals steps in. Mary's Meals provides one daily meal in a place of education for children living in some of the world's poorest communities. And that simple meal becomes the reason a child comes to school. Once they're there, everything can begin to change. Education can become a pathway out of poverty. So a child who is hungry can focus. A child who is vulnerable can dream. And a mother who felt helpless can begin to hope again. What we love most about Mary's Meals is how ordinary people get to become a part of that story. We don't have to solve global hunger. We simply have to feed one child. And here's the beautiful thing. It only costs $25.20 to feed a child for an entire school year. That's one child sitting in a classroom instead of sitting at home hungry. One mother experiencing relief instead of worry. One life changed through a simple act of love. So if your hearts are moved to help, we invite you to join us in supporting Mary's Meals. You can head over to their website marysmealsusa.org (or marysmeals.ca for Canada) and together we can offer hope, dignity and a daily meal to a child who needs it most.
