Podcasts about our mother

There is no shortage of movies to talk about this week so Erik Childress & Steve Prokopy take on 12 of them for you. They include a pair of documentaries ranging from missing Disney memorabilia (Stolen Kingdom) to an Icelandic memory piece connected to the melting of the glaciers (Time and Water). Grief and travel intersect between a mother and a daughter (Honeyjoon) as well as in the new Edward Burns golf film (Finnegan's Foursome). A mom's mysterious illness doesn't bode well for another family (The Voices of Our Mother) and the loss of her sister through cancer finds Zoey Deutsch romance (Voicemails for Isabelle)? Hayley Kiyoko turns her song into a book and now into a movie (Girls Like Girls) but young gay men must confront their own demon in more brutal ways (Leviticus). A murder in Saudi Arabia prompts a true crime enthusiast into action (Unidentified). Hugh Jackman and the director of Pig shows us the end of a legend (The Death of Robin Hood). Last, but certainly not least, the original Pixar gang is back for another timely comic adventure (Toy Story 5) and we hope it is not the last.Review Catch-UpFinnegan's FoursomeThe Voices of Our MotherHoneyjoonStolen KingdomVoicemails for IsabelleTime and WaterUnidentifiedGirls Like GirlsLeviticusThe Death of Robin HoodToy Story 5CLICK ON THE FILMS TO RENT OR PURCHASE AND HELP OUT THE MOVIE MADNESS PODCAST OR BUY FROM MOVIEZYNGBe sure to check outErik's Weekly Box Office Column – At Rotten TomatoesCritics' Classics Series – At Elk Grove Cinema in Elk Grove Village, ILChicago Screening Schedule - All the films coming to theaters and streamingPhysical Media Schedule - Click & Buy upcoming titles for your library.(Direct purchases help the Movie Madness podcast with a few pennies.)Erik's Linktree - Where you can follow Erik and his work anywhere and everywhere.The Movie Madness Podcast has been recognized by Million Podcasts as one of the Top 100 Best Movie Review Podcasts as well as in the Top 60 Film Festival Podcasts and Top 100 Cinephile Podcasts.

On the Saturday June 13, 2026 edition of The Richard Crouse Show we’ll meet award-winning actor, writer, and director Mark O’Brien. You know him as Des Courtney on Republic of Doyle and ambitious Deputy District Attorney Thomas Milligan on HBO’s Perry Mason. On the big screen he’s delivered standout performances in films like Arrival, Ready or Not, Marriage Story, and Goalie — for which he won a Canadian Screen Award. More recently, he’s been behind the camera with his acclaimed directorial debut The Righteous, and now his chilling new supernatural horror film The Voices of Our Mother, which he wrote, directed, and stars in. Then, we’ll meet Kevin Hardcastle, an award-winning Canadian author whose debut short story collection Debris won the Trillium Book Award and ReLit Award, while his first novel In the Cage established him as a powerful voice in contemporary fiction. In his highly anticipated new novel County Road Six, Hardcastle delivers a taut, propulsive family drama about four O’Hare sisters forced to confront their violent father’s legacy and a long-buried secret on a decaying farmstead in rural Ontario.

It's those Family Ties that can really choke the life out of you...In theatres tomorrow June 12th for a limited run before it hits VOD (and eventually Shudder), we get to look at a beautifully bent piece of cinema from one of Canada's up & coming storytellers who isn't afraid to get a little bit bent.  It's time for 'The Voices of Our Mother'.When a family matriarch falls seriously ill, relatives gather and discover their shared ancestral ties bind them in unexpected ways.From Writer/Director Mark O'Brien who you might remember as an actor from memorable turns in films like 'Arrival' and 'Nuremberg' and his debut feature 'The Righteous' gives us a horror laden family drama that is steeped in some of the classics from the past.We talked about his inspirations, working with a Canadian icon like Sheila McCarthy, his appreciation for his collaborators but locally and internationally and we got a little 'Basic; about our love of movies on physical media and so very much more.'The Voices of Our Mother' is in theatres now and on VOD platforms on June 19th

As we move into Ordinary Time, this Sunday in Ireland we have the beautiful feast of Corpus Christi. So on this week's programme, we bring out a reflection from our old colleague Lorraine Buckley who shares with us some thoughts on the Solemnity of Corpus Christi originally in 2019. In part one, we have our regular run through the liturgical odds and ends including the Pope's Prayer Intention for June 2026 and the saints for the week.In part two, Lorraine's reflection on Corpus Christi begins by taking us through a history of the feast which owes its existence to Blessed Juliana of Liege, who began devotion to the Blessed Sacrament in around 1230. Largely through her insistence, in 1264 Pope Urban IV commanded its observance by the universal church. While the Church celebrates the Institution of the Eucharist at the Last Supper on Holy Thursday because it falls within the solemn and reflective time of the Easter Triduum, Juliana wanted to encourage a joyful celebration of this great gift of our Divine Master to the Church and to the world.  The Feast sums up three important confessions about our Faith. First is that God became physically present in the person of Christ, True God and True Man. Secondly, God continues to be present in His people as they form the Mystical Body of Christ in his church. And thirdly, the presence of God under the form of bread and wine is made available to us on the altar at Mass and preserved there for our nourishment and worship. Lorraine also reflects on why the Real Presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is so important to us through the Eucharistic hymns of the Tantum Ergo, Ave Verum Corpus, and Godhead Here in Hiding (Adoro Te Devote).In part three we have our weekly reflection on the Sunday Gospel which is from John's discourse on the Bread of Life (John 6:51-58).Local Notices Dates5th - 13th June - Kilmallock Parish Novena to Our Mother of Perpetual Help10th - 12th June - Triduum to the Sacred Heart of Jesus at Robertstown Church in St Senan's Parish on N69.19th - 27th June - Limerick's Solemn Novena to Our Lady of Perpetual Help at the Redemptorist Church in Limerick city11th July - Limerick Diocesan Pilgrimage to Knock24th - 29th October - Limerick Youth Pilgrimage to Assis and RomeText us at +353 874668950 or email at comeandseeinspirtaions@gmail.com

As the month of May dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary draws to a close, on this weeks programme we are joined by Karen Clancy from Totus Tuus magazine who shares with us about the Rosary and the forth coming All Ireland Rosay Rally in Knock on June 6th. She shares with us some of the history of the rosary and also reflections on the Mysteries of the Rosary - a prayer, a meditation, a sharing with God which has been promoted and encouraged by saints and Popes down through the centuries. Details of the All Ireland Rosary Rally including the schedule for the day available on the website - HERE.In part one of this weeks programme we have our regular run through the up coming liturgical odds and ends including the saints of the week and some local up coming events for listeners to be aware of. In part three we have our weekly sharing and reflection on the Sunday gospel which this week is John 3:16-18 with the great declaration of God's love - "God so loved the world that he gave his only Son........".Local dates for the calendar6th June - All Ireland Rosary Rally at Knock5th - 13th June - Killmallock Parish Novena to Our Mother of Perpetual Help10th - 12th June - Triduum to the Sacred Heart of Jesus at Robertstown Church in St Senan's Parish on N69.19th - 27th June - Limerick's Solemn Novena to Our Lady of Perpetual Help at the Redemptorist Church in Limerick city11th July - Limerick Diocesan Pilgrimage to Knock24th - 29th October - Limerick Youth Pilgrimage to Assis and RomeText us at +353 874668950 or email at comeandseeinspirtaions@gmail.com

Two weeks ago, we celebrated Mothers' Day in order to honor our physical mothers, who brought us into this world and nourished and took care of us when we were children.During the whole of this month of May, we honor our spiritual mother, Mary, Our Lady, who takes care of all our spiritual needs as mediatrix of all the graces we receive.With today's great feast of Pentecost, we honor yet a third mother, we have yet another Mother's Day in the month of May. The mother we honor today is Holy Mother Church.The Church is our mother because she is the bride of Our Lord Jesus Christ and is so united with Christ that we say she is His Mystical Body. They are, as it were, two in one flesh.United together, Our Lord and His bride bring forth children unto eternal life. They do this by governing, teaching and sanctifying their children, that is, Catholics. We are born into new life by baptism, we are healed by confession and we are nourished by the Holy Eucharist. Our Mother the Church does all these things for us.Today's feast is like the birthday of our mother the Church. While Our Lord is the head of the Church, the Holy Ghost is her soul. He descended upon the Apostles today and gave them the spiritual gifts they needed to fulfill their priestly functions. The day of Pentecost is the day when they began their mission of going to all nations to baptize people and bring them into the Church. It was the day that the Church came forth and manifested herself to the world.We have a duty to love all of our mothers, and Holy Mother Church is no exception. We must be grateful to be Catholics and desire to do our part, in our life, to assist our mother the Church.This is all the more true today, when our mother is being attacked. What we are witnessing today has often been compared to Our Lord's Passion. In past centuries, the Church at times resembled Our Lord in His public life or even His triumph over His enemies. But today, she resembles Our Lord on the Cross, in that she is wounded and being disfigured by her enemies.One of the most painful aspects of this passion is that, just as Our Lord was betrayed and abandoned by the Apostles, so too the Church today is being betrayed by the successors of the Apostles. The Church remains the Spotless Bride of Christ in herself, but her external appearance has been disfigured by false teaching and bad liturgies.It is like a difficult situation in a family. Consider if the sons of a family started honoring other women as their mother than their actual mother. This would take away from their proper mother the honor due to her. Say they brought those women over their house, gave them presents, and told them they loved them, all in the presence of their own mother.This is similar to today's Popes showing all this respect to false religions: kissing Korans, hosting Pachamama idols, honoring fake Anglican prelates, praying with leaders of all different religions. These things make it seem like these false religions are able to be mothers of souls, as if they can lead souls to Heaven, as if they can do only what the bride of Christ can do.

Название семнадцатого релиза трубача и композитора Jeremy Pelt на лейбле Highnote Records, можно перевести как - Наше сообщество не будет стерто - Our Community Will Not Be Erased. Из названия уже понятно, что речь идет о переписывании истории. Мне хорошо известно, как это делается в моей родной Прибалтике и благодаря таким музыкантам как Пелт мы узнаем правду об Америке. В своих комментариях он отмечает, - Социальные реалии в Штатах практически заставляют нас постоянно изучать достоинства и вклад нашего собственного сообщества, хотя бы ради позитивного подкрепления… и музыка, которую я создал для всего мира, стремится стать частью этого позитивного подкрепления.Эта точка зрения, также отраженная в его серии книг Griot: Examining the Lives of Jazz's Great Storytellers - Гриот: Изучение жизни великих рассказчиков джаза, и лежит в основе программы, которая уравновешивает культурное наследие с музыкальными инновациями. Ниже будут ссылки на альбомы, где я достаточно подробно рассказывал об этих историях и музыке связанной с ними. Это их продолжение и добавить можно лишь одно, очень хорошо, что есть люди, которые не молчат и своим искусством показывают протест, пытаясь сохранить правдивую историю. Все композиции сочинил лидер и можно перевести названия песен, чтобы приблизится к понятиям музыканта, у которого болит душа за его страну. 1.

Легендарный басист Бастер Уильямс и признанный барабанщик Ленни Уайт привносят в альбом глубокий авторитет и опыт, обеспечивая прочный фундамент, в то время как пианист Оррин Эванс создает современную гармоническую основу, которая делает музыку живой и энергичной, а Лассе Корсон добавляет тонкие электронные оттенки.В результате получился захватывающий, прогрессивный альбом от трубача, композитора, педагога и продюсера, чей голос продолжает расти, набирая силу, присутствие новшеств и неповторимую индивидуальность.СЛУШАТЬ АЛЬБОМ - https://album.link/i/1867254316Art of Intimacy 1 - https://t.me/discor/5463Art of Intimacy 2 - https://t.me/discor/6727SOUNDTRACK - https://t.me/discor/6375GRIOT - https://t.me/discor/5967WOVEN - https://t.me/discor/7320Christmas Interlude - https://t.me/discor/7620Лучший трек альбома в плей-листе JAZZ по-русски 9 на AppleMusic и SpotifyПоставь лайк ❤️ и подпишись на канал JAZZ по-русски https://t.me/discor

The Land is Our Mother is based on a collection of field recordings of digeridoos made for the Australian Institute of Aboriginal Studies from the archive of the Pitts River Museum. Information about the recordings is limited but they were originally recorded on reel to reel tape.The recordings are rich and varied, some including song, but I eventually had to choose some of my favourites to build the piece. I was particularly interested in using the rhythms as these are such a key aspect in the power of digeridoo playing.The piece is called the Land is Our Mother in reference to the feelings of Indigenous People towards the land, its evolution and their rights to live in the land. Indigenous People have lived in Australia for at least 60,000 years and have a deep respect and spiritual connection to the land which is often expressed through digeridoo playing.“The land is our mother. Like a human mother, the land gives us protection, enjoyment and provides out needs economic, social and religious.” (Djinyini Gondarra, Aboriginal Elder)Didgeridoo music reimagined by Laura Hills.———Part of the project A Century of Sounds, reimagining 100 sounds covering 100 years from the collections of the Pitt Rivers Museum at the University of Oxford.

Our Mother the Church makes us read the story Our dear Lord gave us about the Last Judgment. The king will gather everyone and group them like sheep and goats. He positioned the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. Then, he asked them what they did to him. They were puzzled by that questioning because they do not recall having encountered him. But the king surprises them. He identifies himself with the least of our brethren, i.e., the sick, the naked, the hungry, the thirsty, and so forth. Those who attended to those in need are invited to their reward. These were the sheep. The goats, however, did not attend to the needs of those who did not have food, drink, care, company, and so forth. So they got their just deserts away from the king and his kingdom.

On this podcast episode, it's with so much honor and excitement that Jeff Hinshaw finally gets to share with you that he is the author of the Lonely Planet Travel Tarot. This project weaves together a deep study of the Tarot with reverence for the beauty of our planet. Each of the 78 cards is paired with a different location in the world. It's been over a year of research, writing and teamwork. The deck is illustrated in collaboration with the brilliant Studio Muti.   The Travel Tarot is now officially open for pre-order and will be released in the U.S. on February 17, 2026, which makes this deck an Aquarius Sun with a Pisces Moon (quite fitting for such an expansive deck celebrating humanity). Also, on this podcast episode, Jeff Hinshaw is joined by cosmic sibling Joél Andres Collier of Doll Muscle. Formed in New Orleans in 2017 with composer/producer Bodhi Landa, Doll Muscle creates cathartic dream-pop anthems lush with synths, post-punk grit, and shimmering soundscapes. Their work explores queer love at the boundaries of gender and consciousness, offering listeners a warm, visionary sound that feels both intimate and otherworldly. Together they listen to Five Songs: Here We Are, Wizard, Steeplechase, XO, Allways, and Our Mother. We invite you to bring out your tarot deck and meditate with the cards that came up in our discussion: Judgement, Justice, Queen of Pentacles, Queen of Swords, and the 7 of Cups.  We also explore planetary archetypes and Zodiac signs that weave throughout Doll Muscle's songs, including: Chiron, Neptune, Pluto, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius. You may glean insights by revisiting these signs and planets in your own birth chart.

Today's witnesses are from an email my friend in the Prayer Group received. She gets a daily email from www.dailyrosarymeditations.com Every day, it gives five snippets, each to encourage reflection on praying one mystery of the rosary. She found this day's snippets particularly powerful and wanted to share it. They are all about how Mary will conquer, and they are written by Mike Scherschligt.One - The Bishop I have become friends with Bishop Oliver Doeme Dashe, the Bishop of Maiduguri in North East Nigeria. In 2009 the Muslim terrorist group Boko Haram, which means “Western Education is Evil” began to attack Christians in his diocese.  In 2014 Boko Haram completely overran his diocese. The Nigerian military dropped their weapons and fled like children. Thousands of Catholics were killed, two hundred Church structures were burned, and one hundred thousand Catholics fled for their lives to neighboring countries. Fr. William, a priest from the diocese, told me as he drove from parish to parish to celebrate Mass, that the roads were littered with dead bodies. At any moment, he could be surrounded by Boko Haram, dragged from his car, and shot. In October of 2014 Bishop Oliver went before Our Lord Jesus in Eucharistic Adoration, traumatized and trembling, and began to pray the Rosary. Suddenly, Jesus appeared to the Bishop in a vision, holding a very long sword in his hands. When he saw Jesus, the Bishop said, “Lord, what is this?” He didn't answer, but he stretched out his arms and put the sword into the hands of Bishop Oliver. When he received the sword, it turned into a Rosary. Then Jesus spoke these words three times: “Boko Haram is gone! Boko Haram is gone! Boko Haram is gone!” And the vision ended. The message was clear, with the Rosary we shall conquer!At that time Boko Haram had complete control of the diocese. If anyone was seen or caught in public as a Catholic, Boko Haram would instantly kill them. Yet, despite the danger, Bishop Oliver began to go village to village and organize public Rosary processions. From the moment the people began public Rosary processions, Boko Haram has been driven out of his diocese. The Churches are being rebuilt, all of his parishioners have come back, and 97% of his diocese go to Mass every Sunday. Most importantly, the Church in his diocese is growing from strength to strength. At one parish alone, Bishop Oliver brought five hundred new adults into the Church. Mary came down through the Rosary and sent Boko Haram packing!Two - Austria  As we sat together and Bishop Oliver told me of these miraculous events, he said to me, “Michael, this is not the first time Our Mother has sent evil forces packing by the power of Rosary processions. Do you remember what took place in Austria after World War Two? Did you know that much of Austria was under the Iron Curtain after World War Two?” I did know, but I loved hearing it again from Bishop Oliver, so I didn't let on. After World War Two, Austria was divided up by the Allies. The Eastern half of the country and Vienna came under the control of the Soviets. Until 1991, the Soviets never lost a nation, but something different happened here. Fr. Petrus Pavlicek was inspired by the words of Our Lady at Fatima. She asked us to pray the Rosary every day because only she could help us.From 1947 to 1955, Fr. Pavlicek began gathering people in villages, towns, and cities across Soviet controlled Austria on the 13th of each month to pray the Rosary together in public. He called it the Rosary Crusade. Many people gathered at first, but they could not sustain their spiritual practices, so the Rosary Crusade ebbed and flowed. But Fr. Petrus persevered in his confidence in Our Lady. By 1955, eight years later, half a million Austrians had pledged to pray the Rosary, begging for the conversion of sinners, peace in the world and freedom in Austria. The Cold War intensified as the Soviets crushed the Hungarians. However, on March 24th, 1955, Eve of the Annunciation, to the world's surprise, the Soviets announced they would withdraw their troops from Austria in just three months. On May 15th, 1955, the Soviets signed a treaty guaranteeing the independence of Austria. In October of 1955, the month of the Rosary, the last Russian soldier left Austrian soil.Mary came down through the Rosary and sent the enemy packing!Three - BrazilIn 1964, the president of Brazil, João Goulart, wanted to make Brazil a Communist country. The archbishop of Rio de Janeiro, Cardinal de Barros Camara, in an address on national radio, called the people to resist publicly by praying the Rosary. President Goulart was so enraged that he insulted the people of Brazil in a public speech. He ridiculed the rosary, saying that it was his Marxist ideas that would reform and save Brazil, not the rosaries of simple women. That was a big mistake!Twenty thousand women hit the streets with their rosaries. They marched right into the midst of the Communist rally and prayed the rosary so loudly that it shut the rally down. On March 19th, more than 600,000 people marched through the streets of São Paolo praying the rosary in the famous “March of the Family with God toward Freedom.” President Goulart was so intimidated by the Rosary that he fled the country! Once again, Our Mother came down through Rosary and sent the enemy packing!Four - Philippines Ferdinand Marcos was an evil dictator who oppressed the Filipino people for twenty years. In 1986, hundreds of thousands of Filipinos rose up in a non-violent protest against the dictatorship. They filled the main highway and knelt before tanks and soldiers to pray the Rosary. President Marcos commanded the soldiers to run over the people with their tanks. Then Our Lady appeared to soldiers and to the entire crowd. She commanded the soldiers to stop their tanks and to do no harm to the people because she was the Queen of Heaven. That night, President Marcos fled the country.Once again, Mary came down through the Rosary and sent the enemy packing.  Five - The Danger of Comfort and ComplacencyBishop Oliver said, “Michael, you must come to Nigeria!” But I said, “No way! It's too dangerous, you might be dead before I get there.” Then I said, “Bishop Oliver – we are facing a more dangerous enemy in the West. We are not facing an enemy that can kill the body, but an enemy that is killing the souls of our loved ones with Materialism, comfort, isolation, and loneliness. We have everything we need, so we think we don't need God or each other.”Then Bishop Oliver said to me, “Let your people know that being close to Mary is the solution to all their challenges in this world. They should consecrate and reconsecrate themselves and their families to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Did not Mary say at Fatima, “God wants to establish in the world devotion to My Immaculate Heart – wanting to save it by this means.” Pray the Rosary every day and invite someone to pray with you, even if it means you have to change your routine. Finally, live the First Saturdays of Reparation as Mary requested, that on the first Saturday of five consecutive months, go to Mass, pray the Rosary, and go to Confession.” Bishop Oliver ended by saying very passionately, “Mary will conquer! But she needs your cooperation.” If you would like to receive these daily emails, you can go to www.dailyrosarymeditations.com.

Tasha Ransom is an artist.More specifically, she is a musician, a painter, a photographer, and a writer. She's also a great conversationalist, and she is my guest for Episode No. 173.Tasha stopped by last week and sat across from me at the table. We swapped a great many phrases and touched on things like growing up, family, self-discovery, and music. Somewhere in the mix, we managed to have a brief gander at a few of her favorite records. Those were these:Our Mother the Mountain (1969), Townes Van ZandtT. Rex's Electric Warrior (1971)1 (2000), The BeatlesRed Elvises' Drinking with Jesus (2008)Please consider giving Tasha an Instagram follow at @tasharansomart; you can see pics of some of her work there. Find her via that same handle on YouTube, where you can check out her music videos, and find even more information at tasharansomart.com. Many thanks to Morgen Agesen for batting .500 with her awesome list of referrals. You can check out my conversation with her (Episode No. 166), and while you're in that neighborhood, John Knell and Ernie Yates episodes also appear (also courtesy of Morgen's connections).And many thanks to those who have supported the podcast.My only derp for the week was that I goofed up the UKG and the Run the Jewels lineups. I do now recall that UKG is Pimp C. & Bun B., and that Run the Jewels is El-P and Killer Mike. And I will recall that all the way up until the next time I don't.Anyway...copyright disclaimer: I do not own the rights to the audio clips contained within this episode.

My friends Ashli Carnicelli, Trina Caudle, and McArthur Krishna join us to talk about their new book “Mother in Heaven: A Gospel Topics Essay Study Guide.” The book is exactly what the title says: a study guide for the Church's Gospel Topics essay on Heavenly Mother. The book authors talk about the spiritual benefits in our lives of learning about the doctrine of Heavenly Mother and why She matters. This book is aligned with official Church statements and teachings about the doctrine of Heavenly Mother. The authors hope that it helps people seeking our Mother in Heaven to spiritually connect with Her so She is real, intentional, and active in our lives and in Church conversations. Thank you, Ashli, Trina and McArthur, for your needed work. I was deeply moved by your insights and good hearts. I encourage everyone to read this book.

We are living in a world that seems to be unraveling at the seams - where chaos, polarization, and anxiety have become our default settings - we need a different way of being. Today, I'm sitting down with Eric Clayton, who's been wrestling with the question: What if peace isn't just the absence of conflict, but a transformative way of living? Eric's new book, "Finding Peace Here and Now," isn't another self-help manual. It's an invitation - a roadmap drawn from Ignatian spirituality that challenges us to look deeper. How do we build peace when everything around us seems designed to tear us apart? How do we find stillness in the storm, not by escaping the world, but by showing up differently? We'll explore how peace starts within us, how it's cultivated through compassion, creativity, and a willingness to see the humanity in everyone - even those we disagree with. This isn't about being passive. It's about a strength so profound it can disarm violence without raising a hand. If you're feeling overwhelmed, if you're searching for hope in a world that seems to have lost its way, this conversation is for you. So join us as we walk through what peace really means. Eric Clayton is an award-winning writer and author of three books on Ignatian spirituality and everyday living, including, "Finding Peace Here and Now: How Ignatian Spirituality Leads Us to Healing and Wholeness," "My Life with the Jedi: The Spirituality of Star Wars," and "Cannonball Moments: Telling Your Story, Deepening Your Faith." He has a children's book, "Our Mother, Too: Mary Embraces the World," which was co-authored by Shannon K. Evans releasing this year. Eric is the deputy director for communications at the Jesuit Conference of Canada and the United States where he manages the award-winning weekly column, "Now Discern This," guest hosts "AMDG: A Jesuit Podcast" and provides filming, writing and audio support for a range of multimedia projects. He has an MA in International Media from American University, a BA in International Studies and Creative Writing from Fairfield University and a graduate certificate in the Ignatian Tradition from Creighton University. He lives in Towson, MD with his family.Eric's Book:Finding Peace Here and NowEric's Recommendation:Changing PlanesSubscribe to Our Substack: Shifting CultureConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@allnations.usGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

Many of our kids begin to internalize, “I'm a bad kid, I'm slow so I'm not smart, there's something wrong with me.
