Send us a Positive Review!Join Valerie and therapist colleague Dr. Julie Hanks in this recording of a recent “Instagram Live” where they explored the recent breaking news from LDS Newsroom decreasing the eligibility age from 19 to 18 for young women interested in serving full-time missions. In this conversation Val and Julie tackle possible as variety of topics, including short term and long term social, cultural, and mental health drawbacks and benefits that might follow this policy change. They also address how skyrocketing attrition rates from women in patriarchal churches worldwide (and within the LDS church) might be connected to this shift in policy. Don't miss this riveting discussion that continues to correlate the connection between psychological health and gender equality—a topic that these two heritage Latter-day Saint therapists have committed a great deal of their careers to highlighting for the benefits of the LDS Church and all connected to it.Timestamps:00:00 – Introduction and Guest Introduction01:29 – Implications of Mission Age Change02:27 – Gender Roles and Patriarchy03:30 – Strategic Motivations and Retention04:51 – Personal Reflections on Mission Experiences06:04 – Missions as Catalysts for Change08:45 – Concerns About Early Marriage and Education10:00 – Generational Differences and Faith Journeys12:23 – Temple Access for Young Women13:30 – Women Leaving Organized Religion14:09 – Challenges and Opportunities for Church Evolution16:00 – Paradox of Devotion and Faith Crisis19:16 – Balancing Individuality and Community in Faith20:30 – The Church's Developmental Stage22:21 – Potential for Organizational Change24:00 – Normalizing Women's Leadership31:50 – Impact of Mission Age on Family Life32:17 – Egalitarian Structure in the Church33:32 – Women's Leadership and Identity35:30 – Birth Rate and Missionary Integration37:00 – Economic Realities and Family Planning39:39 – Mental Health Concerns for Young Missionaries40:24 – Pressure and Autonomy in Missionary Service42:00 – Stigma and Social Ranking45:23 – Patriarchy and Gender Roles in the Church47:15 – The Cost of Conformity49:54 – Encouragement for Individual Choices51:00 – Redefining Spirituality and Autonomy52:39 – Conclusion and Final ThoughtsSupport the showSupport the show Listen, Share, Rate & Review EPISODES Friday Episodes Annual Access $89 Friday Episodes Monthly Access $10 Valerie's Support & Processing Groups Gift a Scholarship Download Free Resources Visit our Website

Begin your Advent season with Week 1 of our Promised One message series! Pastor Dave Mudd dives into the core mystery of Christmas: why our Rescuer, Jesus Christ, had to be both fully human and fully divine.Discover how God's ancient promises—from Genesis to Daniel—are fulfilled in the one who stepped into our broken world to rescue us. This message challenges us to surrender our self-rule and find true salvation and hope in Jesus as our eternal Prophet, Priest, and King.Key Takeaways from This Message:• Understand the Paradox of the Incarnation: See why Jesus had to be 100% man to represent us and bear the consequences of sin, and 100% God to conquer death itself and offer new life.• Experience Joy in Suffering: Learn to change your perspective on hardship this Christmas, recognizing that even in suffering, the good news of great joy through Jesus remains.• Stop Trying to Fix Yourself: Identify the two common mistakes we make—believing human effort can fix the world, or trying to be God in our own lives—and surrender to the only one who can truly redeem.• Grasp Your New Identity: Recognize the miracle of salvation: Jesus takes our death and rebellion, and in exchange, we receive his eternal life and resurrection.• Meet Your Complete Savior: Explore the three essential roles Jesus fulfills: our speaking Prophet, our representing Priest, and our reigning King.

Somewhere in the galaxy, a radioactive dragon just wants a hug. Unfortunately, it kills everyone it touches. Welcome to Starfinder 2e, where your best friends are undead, your space pirates have tricorn hats, and your digital ghosts won't log off. The RPGBOT crew dives into Paizo's new Alien Core, exploring the weirdest monsters, creepiest factions, and why Paradox 17 knows you're listening right now. Play Paizo Games with Ash Ely Want to explore the horrors of Paradox 17 or negotiate with an Abyssium dragon who just wants a friend? Book a game with Ash Ely on StartPlaying.games and experience Starfinder 2e, Pathfinder 2e, or your favorite tabletop RPGs with a professional GM who knows every monster in the book, probably because they created a few. Show Notes In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, hosts Randall James, Tyler Kamstra, and Ash Ely dive into Starfinder 2e's Alien Core, the first major bestiary of Paizo's new edition. They unpack factions, dragons, and otherworldly horrors, comparing it to Pathfinder 2e's Monster Core while exploring how easily these creatures can jump between systems. Materials References in This Episode Starfinder 2e Alien Core (affiliate link) RPGBOT.Podcast Episodes Starfinder Galaxy Guide Starfinder GM Core Starfinder Player Core Key Takeaways Alien Core is Starfinder 2e's Monster Manual, but weirder, smarter, and full of story inspiration. Factions like the Corpse Fleet and Dominion of the Black make excellent recurring villains. The new dragons embody four magical traditions and range from tragic to terrifying. Undead get a sci-fi twist—digital ghosts, irradiated zombies, and vacuum-frozen nightmares. Paradox 17 is pure cosmic horror genius, perfect for high-level campaigns. Even Pathfinder GMs should buy Alien Core—the compatibility is seamless, and the storytelling potential immense. Paizo proves again why they're the gold standard for deep, mechanically rich monster design. Read More at RPGBOT.net Want to optimize your next Starfinder or Pathfinder character?

This week in the news: Paradox accepts blame for the Bloodlines 2 failure (and it totally should). Steam makes a call on banning a game that GoG has decided to sell anyway. The CEO of Roblox is totally fine with all the predators on his platform preying on children so long as it pumps up his game numbers. Yeah, he's a pretty vile dude, tbh. And what will likely be the topic of the decade (or at least the next few years): AI in gaming. Is it cool or not? Let's discuss. Oak's back and he's played the entirety of Dispatch so now he's on to a Spiderman game! Grif is so heated about how a friend cost them the round of Devour that she can't even tell the story correctly. Thankfully, Chicken can elaborate!

Midstream is mercifully removed from all the angst and excitement of AI stocks and crypto – although in a modern version of selling pickaxes to goldminers, natural gas and its infrastructure enable much of this activity.

Most people try to grow by adding more tactics. New habits. New hacks. New systems.  But if you're like many professionals, you've already done all that. You've pushed. You've optimized. You've carried the weight. But at a certain point in your career, all that effort stops working. Not because you've failed — but because growth at the higher levels isn't tactical anymore. It's emotional. When you're at war with yourself, no system can save you. Every "should" becomes another shackle. Every push tightens the knot you're trying to loosen. And that inner incongruence is what actually burns people out. In this new episode, you'll learn why self-acceptance is the leadership upgrade most professionals never discover, how compassion dissolves shame-based motivation, and how inner congruence unlocks clarity, presence, and true power. Listen now. Show Highlights Include: The weird way the exact qualities that helped you thrive in the earlier part of your career sabotage your growth mid-career and beyond (1:03)  What all of your worst decisions have in common (and how realizing this helps your "internal intelligence" turn back on) (5:13)  How dissolving your inner war almost instantly improves your instincts, intuition, and insight (5:40)  Why "internal resistance" is one of the most expensive taxes you'll ever pay (and how to address it before it steals your creativity, your presence, and your wealth) (7:59)  The cold, hard truth about why uncertainty feels like failure, a setback morphs into a spiral, and tough conversations wage a mental war in your mind (9:19)  How to make every challenge you're facing feel lighter by giving into your emotions instead of fighting them (11:16)  The "AMP" secret that reveals how to build deep motivation and conquer your goals with relative ease (14:52)  The insidious "Shackles of the Shoulds" trap that puts psychological handcuffs on you and prevents you from reaching your full potential (15:16) Why the true cause of burnout has nothing to do with how much you're working (it comes from this…) (16:59)  For more about David Tian, go here: https://www.davidtianphd.com/about/  Feeling like success in one area of life has come at the expense of another? Maybe you've crushed it in your career, but your relationships feel strained. Or you've built the life you thought you wanted, yet there's still something important missing. I've put together a free 3-minute assessment to help you see what's really holding you back. Answer a few simple questions, and you'll get instant access to a personalized masterclass that speaks directly to where you are right now. It's fast. It's practical.

Jeannette looks at the intriguing concept of the "profit paradox," which suggests that doing less can actually lead to greater financial success. She addresses the common misconception among entrepreneurs that busyness equates to success, highlighting how this mindset can lead to burnout and diluted focus Jeannette explains why: Delegating tasks and using technology to automate repetitive work can free up time for strategic thinking and high-value actions, ultimately leading to increased profitability. You need to identify the 20% of tasks that produce 80% of results and concentrate efforts there Protecting your time by saying no to non-essential tasks and scheduling breaks is crucial for maintaining focus and preventing burnout. You need to consistently evaluate your weekly activities to determine which ones are moving the needle and adjust your focus accordingly to ensure sustainable growth.

It's Black Friday! Around here we're really not to concerned about the whole rigamorole. Standing in line at 6am with a bunch of normies for a cheap toaster just isn't our idea of a good time.

Darkness Radio Presents: Reinventing SETI: New Directions in the Search for Extraterrestrial Life w/ John Gertz & Scotty Rorek! In today's Thanksgiving Episode, you get a double helping of guests! Scientist/Author John Gertz and Psychic/Medium Scotty Rorek!  For millennia, humanity has looked up at the sprawling tapestry of stars and wondered what lay beyond. With time, we learned that each star is not a pinprick point in a domed sky, but a massive plasma sphere so far away that the distance becomes incomprehensible to the human mind, measured in light years of millions and billions. This distance invokes crucial questions. Do we share the universe with other intelligent lifeforms? If so, how do we approach the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI)? Lastly, do we need to examine our assumptions about extraterrestrial intelligence? John Gertz's book, Reinventing SETI clears out the cobwebs of outdated or wrongheaded SETI paradigms such as Fermi's Paradox, the Drake Equation, and METI (i.e., proactively sending signals from Earth to putative aliens). It argues that scientists should approach the pursuit of extraterrestrials (ETs) in a more effective manner. Author John Gertz states that ETs, as biological lifeforms themselves, cannot accomplish interstellar travel, but have instead placed robotic probes throughout the universe, perhaps even in our own Solar System. Gertz also warns that humankind is woefully unprepared for the day of First Contact with an alien probe right here in our own backyard. He suggests contingency planning, involving international cooperation as well as broad cross-disciplinary expertise. On Today's show, we welcome in John Gertz to talk about his theories about whether ET exists, whether they have made contact with us, and what we should do if they appear on our world!! Tghen, Psychic/Medium Scotty Rorek joins us for a special segment in which he helps Tim explain why sometimes you need a little help from your friends!

Gautum Mukunda, Harvard professor and author of Indispensable: When Leaders Really Matter, reveals the paradox at the heart of leadership selection: the more effort you put into picking a leader, the less it matters who you pick. Drawing from decades of presidential history, Mukunda introduces the concept of filtered versus unfiltered leaders—George H.W. Bush represents the filtered ideal with 44 years in government before becoming president, while Barack Obama exemplifies the unfiltered wildcard with only three years in the Senate. Filtered leaders are predictably competent; unfiltered leaders are remarkable for better or worse, usually worse, because there are far more ways to fail than succeed. Mukunda argues that America picks unfiltered presidents half the time, more than any other major democracy, which explains both George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Franklin Roosevelt at moments of crisis and spectacular failures in between. He warns that winning Russian roulette doesn't mean you should keep playing and explores why Indian American identity, immigrant narratives, and cultural preservation matter in an era when the president said his community's success damages America.

If you've ever told yourself, “I'll finally relax when my relationship is better, my house is cleaner, my body looks different, my career is farther along,” this conversation is for you and me both. As we step into the holiday season - a time that invites reflection, gratitude, and sometimes a little extra pressure - I'm revisiting this episode because the message is timeless. We're talking about cultivating contentment in the life you actually have, not some upgraded future version of it, and how to feel more at peace inside yourself without giving up your dreams, your drive, or your big, beautiful goals. We'll look at the difference between quick hits of happiness and that steadier “all is well in my world” feeling, the paradox of being an ambitious human who also wants to enjoy today, and some very practical ways to take inventory of your life, question old beliefs about worth and achievement, and stop outsourcing your emotional climate to your circumstances. As you listen, I'd love for you to consider: What have you been making your happiness conditional on? And what might change if today, messy and imperfect as it is, actually counted as a good life? Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Introduction to Contentment 04:24 The Pursuit of Happiness vs. Contentment 10:56 Understanding Contentment 20:36 The Paradox of Growth and Contentment 22:29 Taking Inventory for Contentment 29:17 Exploring Core Beliefs and Values 32:55 The Impact of Negative Thinking 37:10 Contentment and Happiness 40:37 The Illusion of Circumstantial Happiness 46:20 The Journey of Personal Growth 52:32 Finding Joy in the Process of Life If you're noticing how long you've been living in “when things are different, then I'll be okay,” and you'd like a thoughtful partner while you practice something healthier, I'd love to connect with you. You can schedule a consultation with me or a member of my team; it's a private, secure space where you can tell us what's really been going on in your world and what you're hoping will feel different. We'll help you get matched with the right counselor or coach so you can feel more grounded, more understood, and more free to enjoy the life you're in while you grow into what's next.

Katrin bezeichnet sich selbst ganz bewusst als naiv, weil sie sich entschieden hat, an das Gute im Menschen zu glauben. Alexandra hegte stets einen tiefen Argwohn gegen die Naiven, vielleicht aus Neid auf jene, die so unbeschwert vertrauen dürfen. In dieser Folge fragen wir uns, welche Arten von Naivität es gibt und ob Naivität wirklich mit Dummheit gleichgesetzt werden kann. Ist Naivität nicht auch eine Art von Mut? Wer kann es sich leisten, naiv zu sein?

Amol Rajan speaks to Sir Nick Clegg - former deputy Prime Minister of the UK and, more recently, former President of Global Affairs at Meta - about big tech, AI and the future of social media.Sir Nick first appeared on the world stage back in 2010, when he became the UK's deputy prime minister after his Liberal Democrats party went into a coalition government with David Cameron's Conservatives.After leaving Westminster in 2017, he surprised many political observers when he was hired by Facebook, now known as Meta, to head up their global affairs and communications. In 2022, Sir Nick was then promoted to become the company's president of global affairs, where he oversaw policy and government relations.Sir Nick subsequently worked closely with Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg for several years, but decided to step down at the beginning of this year.And now, amid growing concerns over the regulation of big tech, the growth of AI and the future of the internet itself, he's drawing on his vast experience from both Westminster and Silicon Valley to offer insight into what could be ahead.Thank you to the Radical with Amol Rajan team for their help in making this programme.

I have to admit that one of my core beliefs about moguls was challenged during this most recent conversation with Olympic Moguls silver medalist Matt Graham. For a long time, I believed that more ski snow contact was the ultimate sign of a good bump skierl. But in this open and honest conversation, Matt explains why the opposite is true when you want speed and rhythm in a mogul course.I was working with Carv at Hintertux when I met up with him, and he talked me through the key ideas the best bump skiers in the world rely on plus a whole lot more

On today’s Chuck ToddCast, Chuck breaks down why Marjorie Taylor Greene’s resignation is less an isolated drama and more a warning sign that Trump’s once-tight MAGA coalition is splintering. From Speaker Mike Johnson taking cues directly from Trump to a wave of looming GOP retirements, Chuck explains why Republicans may face a bleak 2026. He also digs into Trump’s mixed economic record, his unexpected openness to extending ACA subsidies, and the widening rift between Republicans over Ukraine, where a new peace proposal appears to reflect more of Kyiv’s asks than Moscow’s. With Europe carrying most of the burden and Trump seen abroad as a lame duck, Chuck argues that MAGA may be reaching the end of its political shelf life as fractures emerge across every major wing of the coalition. Finally, Chuck gives his ToddCast Top 5 Thanksgiving Dishes, previews a pivotal weekend in college football and answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.

Sports & political commentator Clay Travis joins Chuck Todd for a candid conversation that spans the worlds of politics, sports, and media. They explore the shifting boundaries between culture and athletics, the pressure of serving a politically-charged audience, and what Clay learned from stepping into Rush Limbaugh’s former timeslot. Clay discusses the importance of distinguishing fact from opinion, the challenges of modern political incentives, and how law school shaped his worldview. The two also talk about the realities of online hostility, audience expectations, and Clay’s belief that influence in media can outweigh influence in elected office. The episode also digs deep into college football: conference realignment, the CFP committee’s biases, southern schools’ growing appeal, and how cultural and political trends—from Gaza protests to regional identity—shape the sport’s landscape. Clay and Chuck debate how to fix the playoff system, what makes college football uniquely personal for fans, and which major sports league Nashville could attract next. Clay closes by sharing the presidential contenders he wishes would run in 2028 and why treating political opponents like rival sports fans could be a healthier way forward.

We humans love to be right. We defend our opinions. We double down on our beliefs. We dig our heels in, even when being right costs us our peace. As leaders, our attachment to rightness can quietly poison our relationships, decision-making, and emotional well-being. In this episode, I explore the paradox of being right and why true freedom lives on the other side of letting go. I share a story about my dad, who embodies a mix of self-righteousness and self-loathing. Watching him cling to being right, even as it isolates him from the people he says he loves, has been a powerful mirror for me. I connect this experience to leadership, to life, and to the personal transitions I am navigating right now. I share a costly patent infringement lawsuit where my desire to be right overruled my willingness to listen. I talk about my divorce and how I am intentionally choosing peace over correctness as I enter this next phase of my life and leadership. I also dive into the concept of paradox. Two truths can be true at the same time. You can be confident and still be wrong. You can love someone and feel hurt. You can lead with strength and still change your mind. ” The ability to hold paradox is the cornerstone of emotional maturity. Mic Drop Moments • “The need to be right is a cage disguised as control.” • “Freedom does not come from being right. Freedom comes from being open.” • “When you are right, you lose nothing by listening. When you are wrong, you lose everything by refusing to listen.” • “Two truths can be true at the same time. Emotionally mature leaders stop dying on the hill of being right.” • “Ask yourself. Did being right today make my life better, or did it just give me a dopamine hit followed by disconnection?” Key Takeaways Paradox is where wisdom lives Life is not black or white, and emotionally mature leaders understand this. Two truths can be true at the same time, and the more we can hold opposing ideas without needing certainty, the more grounded and effective we become. Being right gives a dopamine hit, not lasting peace Winning an argument feels good because our brains release dopamine, but the high is fleeting. Over time, clinging to rightness leads to defensiveness, disconnection, and a closed mind that keeps us stuck. Leaders who need to be right shut down their teams When leaders always have to be right, people stop speaking up. This shuts down ownership thinking, limits creativity, and prevents teams from challenging assumptions or offering better solutions. The cost of being right is often hidden and high You may win the argument but lose something far more critical, whether it is trust, money, time, or connection. When life becomes a competition instead of a relationship, the need to be right slowly erodes joy and collaboration. Choose freedom over being right with daily practice Freedom comes from intentional practice. Pause and get curious. Practice both/and thinking. Ask better questions. Prioritize connection over correctness. And reflect daily on whether being right actually made your life better. A Reflection Invitation I invite you to look at one area of your life or leadership where you might be trading your peace and freedom for the need to be right. Just one. Then experiment with letting go in that situation. Do not correct the email. Do not send the “last word” text. Do not push the point in the meeting. Let it go once and see what happens.

There is a specific moment in the life of a Human Resources professional that is fraught with a peculiar kind of tension. It happens when a door opens, an employee sits down, and they say, simply, "I need something to change."We like to think of the workplace as a rational machine, governed by clear inputs and outputs. But what happens when the machine encounters the messy, unpredictable reality of the human body? In this episode of Human Solutions, we explore the "messiest corner of HR": the medical accommodation.Host Pete Wright and AIM HR Solutions' Terry Cook take us into the labyrinth of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). It turns out, the difference between a lawsuit and a success story often hinges on things we rarely think about—the precise wording of a job description, the speed of a reply, and the strange social dynamics of an office chair.We explore why the most dangerous thing a manager can do is try to be "nice" without a process, why "undue hardship" is much harder to prove than you think, and the uncomfortable silence HR must maintain when the rest of the staff starts asking why that guy got to work from home.It is a conversation about the friction between compassion and compliance, and why, sometimes, the best way to help a human being is to strictly follow the rules.In this episode, we cover:The "Magic Words" Myth: Why an employee never actually has to say "disability" or "accommodation" to trigger a legal obligation.The Interactive Process: Why the answer isn't "yes" or "no," but rather a conversation about what is safe and essential.The Trap of Benevolence: How granting a request off the books can create a precedent that makes future equity impossible.The Paradox of the Chair: A look at how a $1,000 ergonomic chair can disrupt the morale of an entire department—and why morale doesn't count as an "undue hardship".The Manager's Dilemma: How to train supervisors to handle the frustration of not being allowed to know why their employee is being treated differently.Links & NotesThe Job Accommodation Network (JAN): A critical toolkit for understanding workplace accommodations.AskJAN.orgCompliance Resources:ADA.govEEOC: Employer ResponsibilitiesAIM HR Helpline: For AIM members dealing with complex accommodation scenarios.Phone: 800-470-6277Email: helpline@aimnet.org AIM HR Solutions Training CatalogAIM members can reach the HR Helpline at 800-470-6277 or helpline@aimnet.org for inquiries Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. (EST).

Gratitude is one of the most powerful forces we can tap into—for our mindset, relationships, and work. Yet it's also full of paradox. It can be hard to access authentic gratitude when things are messy, stressful, or hard and it can even become hollow when we use it to cover up discomfort. On this episode, I talk about the power and the paradox of gratitude, especially at this time of year. I share how genuine appreciation can help us stay grounded, connected, and strong, even in the midst of uncertainty or challenge.   Resources: We're All in This Together (book), by Mike Robbins Mike Robbins Website Mike Robbins Blog Mike Robbins Podcast Mike Robbins on LinkedIn Mike Robbins on Instagram Mike Robbins on Facebook Mike Robbins YouTube Channel Mike Robbins on TikTok Mike Robbins on X Mike Robbins on BlueSky Gratitude and Grief Can Coexist (blog post)

Why Your Affiliate Style Images Might Be Killing Your Amazon Business In just 10 minutes, I'll challenge most of what you believe—and show you why the opposite might be true. Watch to the end for 99 scroll-stopping techniques from the world's top three product photographers. Watch here on YouTube for the full experience.    "Pretty doesn't convert." - Affiliate Marketers What happens when hammer-and-nail marketing doesn't work? Everyone's favourite dog, Rufus, seems to have a different opinion when it comes to images and stopping the scroll. Text on Images Cluttered images make your brand appear unprofessional or cheap. Impact of busy images: Too many elements distract from the product. Visual focus and clarity: Eliminates distractions, letting customers focus on your product. Pattern interrupt: Stops the scroll. Reduced cognitive load: Easy for customers to process and understand. Professional aesthetic: Clean layouts convey luxury and quality. The Paradox of Dense Images Information overload: Excessive visual details cause faster scrolling. Cognitive fatigue: Complex images demand more mental effort, prompting quick dismissal. Lost focus: When everything competes, nothing stands out. What Actually Stops the Scroll? Clean contrast: Single element against clean background. Less-is-more: Pattern break through simplicity. Simple images stand out in cluttered feeds. The most effective scroll-stoppers are the cleanest, most focused images. The Low-Price Paradox Trust barrier: Customers are naturally sceptical of cheap products. Poor images confirm their worst fears. The Outliers Outliers are statistically insignificant compared to what drives success. The 99% reality: 97% of customers respond positively to clean, well-lit, professional images. Cherry Picking and Moonshots Avoid cherry-picking outliers as universal truths. If so, everyone would have proven strategies and no failed products. Why Outliers Get Disproportionate Attention Survival bias: We notice the 1% that succeed unusually, not the 99% that fail. Marketing case studies: Unusual success stories are interesting. Confirmation bias: People remember exceptions that validate rule-breaking. Also in the video: 99 techniques for stopping the scroll, by three of the world's best, working with multi-million-dollar and billion-dollar brands. 99 image principles used by three of the world's top product photographers: Peter Belanger - Apple's product photographer since 2007 Tim Tadder - Nike, Adidas, and NFL campaign photographer Jonathan Knowles - Coca-Cola, Guinness, and major beverage brands As a thank you for everything this industry has given me over the past decade, DesignLoop is my gift to you.

In Episode 398, recorded an hour before Marjorie Taylor Greene announced her resignation from Congress, Ken and Dave discuss J. D. Vance convicted of threatening J. D. Vance, Trump's Communist visitor, "muscle mommies", time served for a tripping pilot, Josh McKoon's odd choice for special advisor, a pedo gets life, and Democrats recommend insubordination. National Politics and Washington D.C. The hosts discuss Joe Biden's 83rd birthday and the ongoing debate over his mental state and potential 2024 run. Details from Dick Cheney's funeral were shared, noting the attendance of "war mongers" like the Bushes, Clintons, and Obamas. Donald Trump did not attend, reportedly out of respect for their strained relationship. Revelations about Jeffrey Epstein included reports of his micro penis, which was described as lemon-shaped. Donald Trumphosted socialist New York politician Zohran Mamdani in his office, sparking debate over Trump's populist appeal over hardline conservative stances (like those held by MTG or Thomas Massie). The discussion covered NYC politics, including the challenges of rent control and a high number of vacant apartments due to landlords being unable to afford repairs. Trump's sleep habits were noted; he reportedly operates effectively on only two hours of sleep per night. Assassination Attempt Aftermath and Mental Health The man who attempted to assassinate Trump (Crooks) had a significant digital footprint, contrary to initial reports. The individual was characterized as mentally ill and an "incel" who was addicted to seeking attention by hopping between volatile beliefs (violently pro-Trump, then anti-Trump, changing pronouns to they/them). He was noted to be involved in the furry community and obsessed with "muscle mommies" (steroided-up muscle-building women). The off-duty Alaska Airlines pilot who attempted to pull the fuel kill switches mid-flight (while on a 40-hour shroom bender) was given "time served" and ordered to stay away from aviation for five years. Congressional Conduct and Military Orders A group of Democrat members of Congress, including former astronaut Mark Kelly, were criticized for making a video that told U.S. military and clandestine service members to disobey unlawful orders, advice which the hosts argued could ruin a young soldier's career if the order is later deemed lawful. Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett was criticized for mistakenly reading a list of politicians who had taken donations from a Dr. Jeffrey Epstein, wrongly claiming the funds came from the convicted child abuser. Georgia Politics and Corruption The hosts discuss the upcoming quick legislative session in Georgia, expected to end by mid-March. The future of eliminating state income tax and property taxes remains a major topic. Georgia GOP party chair Josh McKoon faced heavy criticism for appointing Brad Barnes—a self-identified national populist—as an adviser, given Barnes' history of xenophobic and anti-Semitic social media posts. This was called an "unforced error" that harms fundraising and voter outreach, particularly among older Republicans. The hosts suggest state-wide candidates like Bert Jones (Lt. Governor candidate) are vulnerable to runoffs due to the fracturing of the Republican base. In a local Georgia crime case, former church volunteer Kelly Ivy was convicted of plotting to abduct underage girls online and received a life sentence with a requirement to serve 50 years in confinement. Tragedy at Sea The high seas murder case of 18-year-old Anna Keaptainner was detailed. She died by asphyxiation on the Carnival Horizon cruise ship and was found naked, wrapped in a sheet, and stuffed under a bed. The case involves her 16-year-old stepbrother, who was reportedly infatuated with her and is being held at an undisclosed location but not formally detained.

In the third message of the Kingdom Paradox series, Pastor Ryan Kramer digs into the unexpected demand of Jesus's call: citizenship. He warns against a "crossless Christianity" that seeks salvation without surrender, or grace without guidance. This message hands us a mirror, not for condemnation, but to help us answer the essential question: How do I know that I am saved? The evidence isn't found in a prayer, but in a life of discipleship, which is revealed by answering three core questions: -- Who Is Leading My Life? The evidence of who leads your life is public, showing up in how you handle conflict, temptation, and decisions. The fruit of your life indicates the root; you cannot be saved by Jesus and remain unsurrendered to Jesus. -- What Am I Holding On To In Life? Taking up your cross is not an illness, a bad job, or a difficult spouse. It is that point where God's will and your desires diverge. It's the obedience that costs you comfort, reputation, or pleasure, choosing things like forgiveness over revenge or serving over being served. -- Do Others See Jesus In Me? Following Jesus is not admiration or intellectual agreement; it is apprenticeship. It is a commitment to being with him, becoming like him (in attitudes, reactions, and choices), and representing him by carrying his heart for the lost and broken. Scriptures for Further Study -- Matthew 6:24 -- John 15:5 -- John 15:6 -- Galatians 5:19-21 -- Matthew 26:39 +++++++ Join us for church this Sunday.

Call it the Zakaria paradox. We live in revolutionary times, the CNN host and Washington Post columnist Fareed Zakaria explains, and yet it's the reactionary MAGA politics of resentment that is currently ascendant. It's this paradox that laces Zakaria's 2024 book, Age of Revolutions (just out in paperback), a narrative that traces the history of liberalism from the 17th century revolutionary Dutch Republic to today's reactionary age of populist strongmen. The Trump playbook is clear, Zakaria notes: “the Chinese Are Taking Your Factories, the Mexicans Are Taking Your Jobs, the Muslims Are Trying to Kill You.” So how should progressive liberals, in our age of TikTok and OpenAI, respond with a more optimistic, forward thinking message about our revolutionary times? What is Fareed Zakaria's escape from the Zakaria Paradox?1. Trump's Genius Was Sensing the New Republican Base Trump was the only candidate in 2016 who abandoned the Reagan formula (free trade, balanced budgets, interventionist foreign policy) and recognized that the Republican base had become white working class voters deeply resentful of globalization, immigration, and cultural change.2. We're Living Through a Long Backlash, Not a Moment Zakaria argues that massive technological and economic transformations—from industrialization to today's AI revolution—always trigger prolonged cultural and political backlashes. Trump's re-election confirms we're in this for decades, not years.3. The Dutch Revolution Invented Modern Individualism Painters like Vermeer and Rembrandt revolutionized Western art by depicting ordinary people and daily life rather than religious subjects—marking the birth of individualism that defines modern liberalism. To understand revolution, look at art, not just politics.4. TikTok Is Enlightenment Liberalism on Steroids Our fragmented, personalized media landscape represents the logical conclusion of individual autonomy and choice. But this creates a “hole in the heart”—people miss the certainty of faith, tradition, and community that pre-modern life provided.5. Liberalism's Biggest Threat Comes From Both Sides Zakaria warns that illiberalism threatens from the reactionary right (Deneen-style restrictions on women's rights, immigration) AND from the progressive left (DEI ideology, extreme socialism). True liberals must hold the center and resist sacrificing liberal values to achieve political goals.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Let's welcome to the Georgia Songbirds family a local duo from Georgia. Josh and Phil otherwise known as Time Travel Paradox. Josh and Phil came up to the bird's nest, that's right it's been awhile but back where we started. They played us a few songs, and we got to talking about the band name, Back to the Future, a spider that was on the microphone, and more. We had a few issues with the computer at 1st so we wrote a song while trying to get it to work. You will hear a little of it at the beginning. Also the wind was heavy at times but we had a fun interview. So pull up a seat and tune into our conversation.

After 27 years, Melvyn Bragg has decided to step down from the In Our Time presenter's chair. With over a thousand episodes to choose from, he has selected just six that capture the huge range and depth of the subjects he and his experts have tackled. In this third of his choices, we hear Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss Greek philosophy. Their topic is Zeno of Elea, a pre-Socratic philosopher from c490-430 BC whose paradoxes were described by Bertrand Russell as "immeasurably subtle and profound." The best known argue against motion, such as that of an arrow in flight which is at a series of different points but moving at none of them, or that of Achilles who, despite being the faster runner, will never catch up with a tortoise with a head start. Aristotle and Aquinas engaged with these, as did Russell, yet it is still debatable whether Zeno's Paradoxes have been resolved.

In this episode of The Book Nerds Podcast, Aaron, Brianna, and Kyle dive into The Stress Paradox by Dr. Sharon Horesh Bergquist — exploring why stress isn't the enemy we think it is. From redefining “good stress” to balancing life's pressures with purpose, they connect insights on biology, mindset, and leadership with their own lives and practices. The conversation touches on fasting, cold plunges, resilience, and how embracing discomfort drives growth.

This week, I want to explore something most people overlook: the paradox of friendship. I wrote a piece for a new podcast episode called “The Friendship Frequency” - The Paradox of Friendship: How Not Needing Friends Draws the Right Ones Closer Reflecting on the previous conversation on “Validation,” I see a strong correlation between seeking and obtaining friends and the desire for validation. This can get sticky as we find ourselves seeking friends for the wrong reasons, which means getting tethered to the wrong people who not only don't serve you and your goals and dreams, but also cause conflict and unnecessary distraction. I interviewed an extraordinary guest on my podcast named Chris Bailey who has a crazy viral TED Talk on this topic We're taught to find good friends, to look for connection, to build community. But what if the real secret to attracting the right friends isn't about seeking at all? What if it begins with becoming comfortable walking alone, and realizing that we were never truly alone to start with? Here's the paradox: the less we need friendship to feel whole, the more we attract friends who are whole themselves. The person who doesn't cling, doesn't perform, and doesn't chase — becomes magnetic. It's the same principle that applies in business and leadership: the individual who leads with calm confidence, who doesn't exude desperation for clients or approval, naturally draws people in. So today's conversation isn't about loneliness — it's about wholeness. It's about understanding how self-friendship becomes the signal that draws in the right people, and how those relationships enrich our lives when they're built on resonance rather than need.

In today's episode, Tim Whitaker engages in a conversation with Billie and Paul Hoard about their new book Eucontamination. The discussion dives into the theory of disgust and the innovative concept of 'good contamination,' describing how Jesus is seen as a transformative contaminant for good. They explore how disgust influences societal behaviors, particularly within evangelical circles, and how Jesus' embrace of those considered 'impure' subverts traditional notions of purity.
