In this prophetic Father's Day message, Pastor Gregory Dickow unpacks how the thief comes to steal the Word, kill the seed, and destroy destiny—but how God is raising up a prophetic generation to push back. You'll discover how to walk in your spiritual authority, protect what God has placed in your life, and raise up the next generation with vision, purpose, and power. PGD also casts a prophetic vision for fathers—calling them to reclaim their role, bless their homes, and lead their families with boldness, grace, and purpose.Sunday | June 15, 2025 | 10:30 AMWATCH ON YOUTUBESubscribe to the Gregory Dickow YouTube channel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://youtube.com/@gregorydickow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUPPORTYou can tithe or donate to help us reach more lives around the world here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.lifechangerschurch.com/give⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CONNECT WITH ME ON SOCIAL MEDIAFacebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/gregorydickow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.instagram.com/gregorydickow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@gregorydickow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@gregorydickow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.twitter.com/gregorydickow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pinterest: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.pinterest.com/gregorydickowoffical/⁠

In this deeply episode, we sat down with experienced and renowned Obstetrician Dr. K Shilpi Reddy and explored a wide range of topics surrounding pregnancy, childbirth, fertility, and women's health. The conversation begins by addressing real, touching questions from our listeners, including one about oral sex and concerns around sexually transmitted diseases. The importance of mutual consent is emphasized as a vital foundation before exploring any new aspects of intimacy. We then delve into VK's encounter with traditional astrologers and the contrasting views on normal delivery, cesarean sections, and the role of astrology in timing childbirth and operations. While astrology varies geographically and culturally, our guest stresses that the mother's own body and medical needs ultimately govern delivery outcomes, though auspicious timings may hold cultural significance in events like marriages.The episode also highlights the mental and physical pressures women face from family and society during pregnancy. We discuss how typical motherly instincts, like force-feeding without considering a woman's actual bodily needs, can contribute to early-onset diabetes in young women. The myth that milk is the only source of calcium is challenged, alongside concerns about future generations potentially needing insulin alongside their lunchboxes due to rising diabetes rates in India. The episode touches on the irresponsible dietary advice some doctors give without accounting for patients' lifestyles and work habits, alongside societal body shaming and the hidden harassment behind over-pampering. It also contrasts dietary habits from different regions, noting how North Indian akhadas prefer natural foods while urban gyms heavily promote protein powders, which may cause hormonal imbalances affecting fertility.We take a historical perspective on pregnancy and family planning, noting that older generations often had many children within joint families where women received better support. In contrast, today's progressive and educated women are increasingly choosing to delay or forgo childbirth, a choice the guest believes is problematic given population declines in countries like Scandinavia . The future demographic challenges of declining birth rates and the ethical questions around reproductive choices are examined, alongside recent ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology) laws limiting eligibility for fertility treatments.Fertility is further explored with a focus on the biology of sperm and eggs. Risks of rushing into fertility treatments are discussed.  Practical advice is offered on improving fertility through healthy lifestyles, balanced sleep, and caution against over-reliance on ovulation apps which cannot fully capture individual body variations.The episode also addresses the consequences of toxic modern lifestyles on fertility & how Kamasutra emphasized how sexual health between partners leads to healthier and happier children, reinforcing the idea that emotional maturity and positive maternal energy deeply affect offspring.Important topics like maternal (avunculate) marriages and their genetic risks are covered, with mention of advanced screening methods such as PGD to reduce, but not eliminate, hereditary disease chances.We also touched upon some of the modern MedTech that has emerged and the importance of Health Insurance.Finally, the episode wraps up with myth-busting rapid fire addressing common pregnancy misconceptions, laughter as a healing tool in labor wards, and heartfelt advice to young listeners. This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom, combining medical expertise, cultural context, and compassionate storytelling. Whether you are planning a family, supporting loved ones, or simply curious about women's health in India today, this conversation offers valuable insights and encouragement to make informed, healthy choices.

I had the brilliant Keith Littlewood B.Sc., PgD, M.Sc. on the podcast to go deep on Thyroid function, hypothyroidism, hormones and their influence on metabolism, liver health and lots more. We made several references to Dr Ray Peat, Dr Broda Barnes, and Georgi Dinkov. This conversation was excellent and I learned so much. Prepare to put your thinking hat on and take lots of notes! Let us know how you like this conversation and what you learned in the comments. [Chapters on my YouTube channel too.] Keith will be back on the podcast in a few months, but in the meantime you can follow his work here; balancedbodymind.com https://www.instagram.com/tommolittlewood/ I also appreciated your support on these videos because they actually do take time, especially where studies are involved and I don't really monetize. So if you would like to support me in making my videos or podcasts, and would like me to keep doing it, it would really mean a lot to me if you bought me a coffee - i will share the link in the comments. I really appreciate those of you who have supported me already, I do love coffee. Thank you so much for your generosity. https://buymeacoffee.com/cmhthanks

On this episode of JHLT: The Podcast, the JHLT Digital Media Editors explore two studies from the July issue of The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation. Digital Media Editor Marty Tam, MD, a transplant cardiologist from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, hosts this episode.   First, Dr. Tam and Digital Media Editor Erika Lease, MD, FCCP, interview their first guest, Daniel Calabrese, MD, first author on the study “Macrophage and CD8 T cell discordance are associated with acute lung allograft dysfunction progression.” The study's authors sought to tackle challenges behind early detection of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) by identifying biomarkers associated with acute lung allograft dysfunction (ALAD) progression to CLAD.   To do this, they collected bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cells at the time of ALAD diagnosis and performed single cell RNA sequencing to identify significant differences in 26 unique cell populations across groups, with discordant CD8 T cells and macrophages providing the best discrimination between ALAD with decline from ALAD with recovery and controls.   Dr. Calabrese discusses how his team identified the diagnostic criteria, why the biomarkers might lead ALAD to progress to CLAD, and how the findings might lead to early targeted therapies.   Next, Dr. Tam joins and Digital Media Editor Khue Ton, MD and David Schibilsky, MD, to interview their next guest, David D'Alessandro, MD, the Surgical Director of Cardiac Transplantation and MCS at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. Dr. D'Alessandro was the first author on the study “Impact of controlled hypothermic preservation on outcomes following heart transplantation,” which sought to assess the impact of the Paragonix SherpaPak Cardiac Transport System, a device allowing controlled hypothermic  preservation, on rates of primary graft dysfunction (PGD) and post-transplant mortality.   The key finding was that controlled hypothermic preservation was associated with a lower incidence of severe PGD – 6.6% compared to ice storage at 10.4%. In the conversation, Dr. D'Alessandro answers questions about the need for innovation over traditional ice cold storage, the greatest advantages of controlled hypothermic approaches, and the next steps in this research.   Follow along at www.jhltonline.org/current, or, if you're an ISHLT member, access your Journal membership at www.ishlt.org/jhlt.   Don't already get the Journal and want to read along?

On this episode of JHLT: The Podcast, the JHLT Digital Media Editors explore two studies from the April issue of The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation. Digital Media Editor Erika Lease, MD, a transplant pulmonologist at the University of Washington in Seattle, hosts this episode.   First, Dr. Lease and Digital Media Editor Van-Khue Ton, MD interview their first guests, Paul J. Scheel III, MD and Steven Hsu, MD, both of Johns Hopkins University. Dr. Scheel was first author and Dr. Hsu was senior author on the study “Occult right ventricular dysfunction and right ventricular-vascular uncoupling in left ventricular assist device recipients.” The main finding of the study is that LVAD recipients have depressed intrinsic RV contractility and reduced RV compensation.   Drs. Scheel and Hsu give an overview of RV pressure-volume loops and their measurements, and discuss the impact of LVAD on intrinsic RV contractility, contractile reserve, and vascular coupling. If you want to know how these findings are important to clinical care, you'll need to listen to the episode!   Next, Dr. Lease and Digital Media Editor David Schibilsky, MD, interview their next guest, Joshua Diamond, MD, of the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Diamond was first author on the study “Development and validation of primary graft dysfunction predictive algorithm for lung transplant candidates.” The authors of the study set out to develop a clinically useful and generalizable PGD prediction model to aid in clinical decision making.   Dr. Diamond discusses the factors they considered in building the model, the model's strengths over other approaches, and its limitations.

GUEST: COLLEEN TRONSON, Executive Director, Metro Women's CenterAdvances in medical technology over the decades have saved countless lives whether through new types of surgeries, imaging, therapies, medications, etc. Of course it hasn't all been positive—consider the harm caused by certain medications, including the Covid so-called “vaccine”.The advances in fertility and pre-natal technologies has been no less astounding. Procedures like artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization (IVF) have helped childless couples have children.But with these technologies come ethical questions: what about the extra human lives in embryo form created through IVF that are frozen and then not used? Or what about when a homosexual couple pays for a baby through artificial insemination, IVF, or surrogacy? Or what about pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), which screens for genetic abnormalities and allows for sex selection?January is Sanctity of Life Month and so we will devote this weekend's program to questions around fertility technologies and the greatest injustice in our country—the legal murder of around 65 million pre-born babies since 1973 when abortion was legalized.Colleen Tronson, executive director of Metro Woman's Center in Minnesota, will be our guest. She will also give perspective on why pro-life candidates haven't fared well recently in elections in light of the overturning of Roe vs. Wade by the U.S. Supreme Court in June 2022.NOTE: This program contains biological reproductive terms that some parents may want to keep from their children until an appropriate time. If this applies to you, we encourage you to listen to the program on your own first.------------------------------------>> Previous interviews with Colleen TronsonHear Colleen's own testimony on a previous program: The Overturning of Roe v.
