In this Greg and Nathan invite teacher Dave Shive to explore one of the Bible's most complex and compelling figures: King David. From shepherd boy to king, David's life is a tapestry of triumph, tragedy, faith, and failure. The conversation traces David's early anointing by the prophet Samuel and examines the tumultuous, decades-long wait before David actually ascended the throne. What does such a prolonged period of waiting do to a man's soul? Dave offers fascinating insight into David's relationship with Samuel, his uneasy entanglement with Saul, and his eventual rise to leadership over both Judah and Israel. Listeners will gain fresh perspective on pivotal moments in David's story—from his apparent shift toward darker choices, to his reactions in the wake of Saul's death, to the far-reaching consequences of the Bathsheba incident. Dave also explores David's heartbreaking saga with Absalom and reflects on the final days of David's life, filled with both regret and resolve. Whether you've read David's story many times or are encountering it anew, this episode will challenge your assumptions and deepen your appreciation for the grace of God in the life of a deeply human king.

Ever started a fight in your head, won it spectacularly, only to realize the other person didn't even show up to the battlefield? Welcome to adulthood, where conflict is less about actual shouting and more about side-eyeing someone into oblivion while whispering “I'm fine” with enough passive-aggression to wilt a cactus.In this episode, Pete and Tommy wade into the murky, tepid waters of grown-up conflict—armed only with podcast-sponsored razors, psychological aphorisms, and a deep, festering resentment for group texts. From Hanlon's Razor (“Maybe they're not evil, just an idiot”) to the Cold War of Thermostat Settings, they explore why modern fights are quieter, pettier, and increasingly fought through emoji avoidance and artfully delayed email replies.Tommy investigates the ancient science museum exhibit that accidentally gave him an emotional breakthrough (shoutout, Exploratorium), while Pete reveals he spent years treating a perfectly lovely human as his secret archnemesis. They tackle imaginary nemeses, real micro-aggressions, and that one Ralph's employee who doesn't know they're the final boss in your personal hero's journey.Also: the War of the Bucket. Yes, an actual war. Over an actual bucket. Two Italian city-states. Thirty thousand troops. And one wooden container that still hangs in a death-sentence room like a medieval mic drop. Because adult conflict, like medieval conflict, is never about the thing—it's about the bucket.So guard your emotional buckets, find peace in the possibility that no one is thinking about you at all (liberating!), and if you must fight… maybe don't do it in a podcast.Become a Feeling Friend!Help us keep the precinct weird: allthefeelings.funGet early access, bonus content, stickers, and the satisfaction of supporting emotional democracy for only $35 a year.

This week on Black on Black Cinema, the crew returns to announce the next film to be reviewed, "Hard Truths." Set in London, the 2024 film follows the plight of a depressed and nay-saying woman (Marianne Jean-Baptiste) and the relationship with her jovial sister Chantelle (Michele Austin). The random topic of the week is all about June, not only is it Pride Month, but its also Men's Mental Health Month. The guys discuss why dealing with aspect of men's mental health needs to far exceed just the sort of buzzword friendly way mental health is handled especially when it comes to men. What does it mean to be a men, who is effected by these definitions, and more.

Let's be honest—parts of the Old Testament feel strange. From obscure laws about mildew and mixed fabrics to chapters filled with hard-to-pronounce names, it's no wonder many readers feel overwhelmed or even confused. But what if these seemingly bizarre details are actually doing something deeper—something meaningful? In this episode, Greg and Nathan tackle some of the biggest hurdles modern readers face when diving into books like Leviticus or Numbers. Why are there so many laws? Were they about more than just morality? Which ones (if any) still apply to Christians today? And what's with all those genealogies—do they really matter? Along the way, they unpack how understanding the cultural and theological context of ancient Israel can turn “irrelevant” sections into surprisingly rich territory. If you've ever wanted to skip the fine print of the Old Testament, this conversation might just change your mind.

This week on All the Feelings: Adulting, Pete and Tommy explore the emotional rollercoaster of civic duty—that grown-up responsibility that makes you feel both powerful and powerless, often at the same time. Pete recounts his surprisingly moving journey from accidentally running for office (yes, really) to wielding his democratic paddle in precinct committee meetings that felt like Parks and Rec meets Newhart, with just a dash of intergalactic colonization thrown in for fun.We kick things off with a signature All the Feelings guided meditation, designed to soothe your soul and slowly reveal your complicity in the collapse of public institutions. Then Tommy takes us on a whirlwind tour of his lifelong, unfulfilled dream of serving on a jury—a civic fantasy frequently interrupted by mistrials, celebrity impersonators, and the birth of Occupy Wall Street.It's an episode about participation, paperwork, powerlessness, and the strangely intoxicating scent of a freshly unsealed ballot. And in the end, it's a reminder that real change often starts not in Washington, but in a library basement that smells like Folgers.Become a Feeling Friend!Help us keep the precinct weird: allthefeelings.funGet early access, bonus content, stickers, and the satisfaction of supporting emotional democracy for only $35 a year.

In Overcoming Old Testament Phobia, hosts Greg and Nathan take a fresh and accessible approach to the Hebrew Scriptures—breaking down the barriers of intimidation and confusion that keep so many Christians at a distance. With wisdom, humor, and practical insight, each episode helps listeners see the Old Testament not as an ancient, irrelevant text but as a vital part of God's unified story of redemption. Whether you're a seasoned reader or starting from scratch, this series is designed to help you engage with Scripture more confidently—and see Jesus more clearly along the way. Join Greg and Nathan in this episode as they take a walk through the Old Testament. 

Making friends as an adult is hard. Like, trying-to-fix-a-leaky-faucet-with-a-pear hard. This week, Pete and Tommy dive into the emotional absurdity of adult relationships—why it's so difficult to make new friends when you're older, and why you still feel bad about that one friend you accidentally ghosted in during the Regan presidency.Tommy explores the paradox of adult friendship logistics (spoiler: it involves trivia nights and at least one emotional support podcast), while Pete unpacks the slow, awkward fade of the friendships we didn't mean to lose but also didn't exactly fight to keep. Plus: a deeply educational detour through ancient Roman memory-erasure rituals and the definitive game show you didn't know your dating app history prepared you for—What's App'nin?So whether you're out there desperately trying to make a new friend or quietly mourning the group text that went dark, this one's for you. You're not alone. Unless you are. In which case… welcome.Links & NotesBecome a Feeling Friend ---Learn more about supporting this podcast by becoming a member. Visit our website to learn more.

Welcome to All the Feelings: Adulting, where fitness isn't about abs, it's about survival—and emotional support comes with a side of pepperoni.In this episode, Pete confronts a lifelong love-hate relationship with exercise (spoiler: mostly hate) and shares how working with a trainer finally reframed strength as energy storage, not just punishment. Protein becomes more than a punchline—it's a power-up. Tommy, meanwhile, peels back the anxious layers of adult health care avoidance and delivers a heartfelt, hilarious exploration of iatrophobia—the very real fear of doctors. From raccoon-infested crawl spaces to gym myths, shame spirals to colonoscopy bragging rights, this episode is probably not your way to health, strength, and medical care in adulthood.Bonus: historical sexism, magical poop, and the emotional complexity of car snacks.

Welcome to Season 10 of All the Feelings, where your hosts Pete Wright and Tommy Metz III take you on a guided tour of that weird liminal space between “I should know better by now” and “Why does filling out a W-2 feel like a personality test written by Kafka?”In this premiere episode, the subject is Money, starting with the slow-burning crisis of homeownership. Tommy—staunch apartment loyalist and occasional demon extractor—wonders if owning property is still the pinnacle of adult success, or just another gatekeeping tradition propped up by 1940s mortgage policy and peer pressure from ghosts. Pete, long-time homeowner and accidental handyman, walks us through the real cost of grass, siding, and painting things that no landlord will pay for.Then, it's Tax Time: the annual gauntlet where America's adults cosplay as accountants and hope they don't accidentally confess to fraud. If you've ever had to Google “What is MAGI?” and gotten answers involving sorcery or the Nativity, this episode is for you. Pete recounts his annual ritual of fiscal shame and digital form-filling dread, and Tommy offers a scathing comparison between the IRS and the HOV lane—both of which function primarily through fear.Along the way, we explore the emotional toll of systems that are designed to be opaque, the quiet panic of feeling unqualified to do basic grown-up things, and why the true cost of adulthood might just be your confidence. Spoiler: No one really knows what they're doing. Even Einstein.

Adam created a hypnosis session to help a client reduce anxiety when thinking about birds. Adam identifies similarly sized animals that they don't fear and then uses them to break the pattern of anxiety linked to birds, specifically pigeons. Adam helps them feel empowered in a first person perspective so they can access the same state when they see pigeons in real life.  DOWNLOADS: To thank you for being a listener to the show Adam is giving you 100% FREE hypnosis downloads worth up to £200/$250 using the coupon code FREE here: https://www.adamcox.co.uk/store/c15/FREE-Hypnosis  There is a 50% Discount on up to 10 other downloads using the coupon code hypnotist here: https://www.adamcox.co.uk/downloads.html  WORKING WITH ADAM DIRECTLY:  To book a free 30-minute consultation call to consider working with Adam go to: https://go.oncehub.com/AdamCox If you want to work with Adam on a one-to-one basis on hypnosis sessions, wealth coaching, or mentorship you can book sessions here: https://www.adamcox.co.uk/hypnotherapist.html  ABOUT ADAM Adam Cox is one of the world's most innovative hypnotists and is known for being the hypnotherapist of choice for Celebrities, CEO's and even Royalty.
