"Send us a message! (questions, feedback, etc.)"People walking through the wilderness of addiction can have a hard time finding places that feel truly safe to open up. Yet authentic connection is the key to freedom from addiction. One of the things that gives the safety people seek is a person who chooses to be open about their own "limp," not hiding from their personal failures. John Steakley is that kind of person. Since walking through his own addictive struggle with alcohol, John has been using that experience to help hundreds of others find hope as they seek to walk out of that same wilderness. John is the founder and Executive Director of Unbound Grace Ministries, a support & counseling ministry helping people who have found themselves trapped in unhealthy relationships with alcohol and other substances. John talks about the importance of providing safe healing space by how we are vulnerable with our own struggles (pointing to our limp). Pointing to our own limp also helps us and others remember that it's not about us or what we can do... our limp also points to God, the "Power greater than ourselves," who desires to restore us to the lives we were meant to live. John has written a book, also titled Unbound Grace. He lives in Birmingham AL with his family.#johnsteakley #unboundgrace #addiction #recovery #grace #gospel #transformation #healing #gospel #grace #awaken #awakenrecovery #awakenpodcast #whatwereallywant #wwrw #connection #conversationUnbound Grace ministry websiteUnbound Grace book (on Amazon)Support the showAwaken websiteRoots Retreat Men's IntensiveRoots Retreat Women's WorkshopAwaken Men & Women's support meeting info (including virtual)

Why Science Is Pointing Back to God. Dr. Stephen Meyer. ACU Saturday Series. For decades, we've been told that science and faith are incompatible that the more we understand the universe, the less room there is for God. In this interview, we explore the latest discoveries in cosmology, physics, and biology from the Big Bang to DNA and how they reveal a universe that looks designed. What if modern science isn't disproving God, but actually pointing us back to Him?

ROTG137 Politically Motivated Attacks Revisited Nonprofit advocates face a complex environment in 2025 where political disagreements routinely escalate into targeted attacks—ranging from carefully crafted misinformation to more extreme tactics like organizational funding cuts, subpoenas, and personal targeting. This episode explores the emerging challenges advocates encounter, offering insights into recognizing, preparing for, and navigating these increasingly sophisticated forms of political pushback. Attorneys for this Episode Brittany Hacker Tim Mooney Quyen Tu Evolution of Political Attacks This isn't the first time we've covered this topic—we discussed it back in earlier episodes when attacks primarily came from private organizations and non-governmental entities like Project Veritas. What's changed is the increasing use of official government investigative authority against tax-exempt organizations, including: Current Landscape: Government Investigations & Bad Faith Actors Executive Orders from the Trump administration Universities under attack and scrutiny Government agencies: Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) State Attorneys General investigations (particularly from those seeking higher office) New techniques utilizing official power with minimal basis for investigation The key challenge: These officials have great investigative power and can exercise it with the slimmest basis, using bad faith political attacks against organizations doing good community work they simply disagree with. Examples of Great Advocacy in Response Despite these attacks, many nonprofits have stepped up their advocacy: Challenging the administration in court Almost every executive order has faced legal challenges Many nonprofits have teamed up for court cases Some challenges have been successful, others ongoing Calling out attacks for what they are Naming attacks as politically motivated and in bad faith Pointing out reliance on dubious information This approach has met with significant success Solidarity in numbers Some law firms and universities initially settled with the administration Others joined together and refused to settle or capitulate Finding strength in solidarity and continuing their missions Funder support stepped up Funders creating new short-term grants Establishing legal defense funds Providing pro bono services for nonprofits Some funders publicly increased funding; others acted quietly but effectively Being Prepared: Your Best Defense Legal and Administrative Compliance The best defense is ensuring full compliance with all applicable laws so you can advocate with confidence. Advocacy Check-Up Tool: Our nonprofit self-assessment (13-page document available free on our website) Identifies opportunities to enhance compliance with tax, lobbying, election, and other laws Provides starting place to assess existing systems Helps prepare for attorney meetings with specific checklist items Key compliance areas to review: How your 501(c)(3) remains nonpartisan Staying within lobbying limits for C3 public charities Ensuring all reporting is current (IRS, FEC, local ethics commissions) Checking insurance coverage (directors & officers, liability) Board setup and bylaw compliance Document management: Store foundational documents electronically in the cloud Maintain excellent records: Clear, accurate documentation to easily prove legal compliance when needed Organizational Readiness and Communications Planning Beyond legal compliance, you need comprehensive preparation: Identify vulnerabilities: What might attackers say about your work? Communications strategy: Have a plan for public response Election season policy: Clear guidelines for staff activities Document retention policy: Know what to keep and for how long Staff training: Especially public-facing staff and volunteers Train them to recognize unusual questions outside normal scope Establish "odd question point person" to defer to Response protocols: Know what to do if attacked Legal counsel: Have a lawyer you can call or know who to contact Most Important: Don't Self-Censor Remember these are bad faith attacks. You aren't doing anything wrong. They're trying to: Separate you from your funders Separate you from your supporters Make you stop your advocacy work Avoid engaging on the substance of your work Don't fall for the trap of stopping your advocacy just because they claim you're doing something wrong. If your compliance is solid and you have a communications plan, you've likely done nothing wrong—keep doing your important work. If You Are Attacked: Response Strategy Initial Response: Don't Overreact Reassure everyone: Staff, board, key supporters that you have a plan and are executing it Share with allies: Touch base with coalitions and peer organizations Attacks often target multiple similar organizations Share what you're experiencing and your response plans Ask for help: Learn from others who've been through this; consult funders and foundations Fact-Finding and Gap Analysis Get clear on accusations: What specifically are they claiming? Assess the facts: What do you know vs. don't know? Close any gaps: You don't have to be perfect Retrain staff if needed Amend reports if necessary Address any legitimate compliance issues Response Protocol for Official Investigations When facing government actors: Request identification and documentation: Ensure it's a legitimate governmental agency with authority (warrant/subpoena) Preserve all evidence: Don't destroy documents, emails, or other records Don't obstruct government action but monitor their work (like supervising a contractor in your house) Protect privileged information: Seek legal advice on confidential/privileged materials Designate spokesperson: One staff member communicates with government actors and public to avoid conflicting messages Legal Support and Defense Seek counsel for preparation: Some aspects you can handle alone, others need legal guidance Retain counsel for formal responses: Essential for official investigations Investigate legal defense funds: If budget is tight, these are increasingly available Staying on Offense: Reframe the Narrative With a good plan in place, you can be on offense instead of defense: Call political attacks what they are Feel confident in your legal compliance Ensure staff feel safe and confident by sharing/reviewing your plan Continue your great advocacy work because you're in compliance with laws Special Thanks to Funders Shout out to funders who have stepped up during these attacks: Some have been very public about increasing funding Many have acted quietly without spotlight Both approaches are important and appreciated Creating new funding mechanisms and legal defense funds Resources Advocacy Check-Up: Nonprofit Self-Assessment Essential Strategies for Navigating Government Inquiries (Perkins Coie) Search Warrants: Dos and Don'ts (Perkins Coie) Sample 501(c)(3) Policy for Election Season Election Activities of Individuals Associated with 501(c)(3)s Practical Guidance Series: Lobbying Practical Guidance Series: Nonprofit Voter Assistance On-Demand Training: Preparing for Politically Motivated Attacks

There is great symbolism in the Old Testament. In Leviticus 14.3-7 we see a cleansing ceremony to a person healed of leprosy (or a defiling skin disease). In that ceremony, there are two birds, a clay pot with fresh water as well as cedar wood, scarlet yarn and hyssop. One can quickly read over these elements and their potential symbolism, pointing to the gospel narrative. Dave breaks down each of these elements and their potential symbolism.Outline:03:37 - The Sacrificial Bird - symbolizing Jesus crucified04:12 - The Fresh Water - symbolizing living water, fulfilled in Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.

Aaron Fillmore unpacks Habakkuk 2:3–4, reminding us that living by faith means trusting God's promises even when His timing feels slow or uncertain. Drawing from Habakkuk's honest wrestling and God's response, he encourages believers to wait patiently, trust fully, and rest in God's unchanging faithfulness rather than striving in their own strength. Pointing to Jesus as the ultimate fulfillment of this hope, he reminds us that our righteousness is secured by faith alone, anchored in Christ's finished work on our behalf.
Beyond Trauma-Informed: Finding Balance Between Compassion and ConsequencesBill Eddy and Megan Hunter explore the complex relationship between trauma-informed approaches and setting appropriate boundaries when dealing with high conflict situations.

Timothy Brindle vs. PCA Golden Calf | Crosspolitic What happens when a pastor challenges the PCA's untouchable idol? Timothy Brindle found out the hard way. At the 2025 PCA General Assembly, Pastor Timothy Brindle was silenced mid-sentence while questioning the reelection of Mission North America coordinator Irwin Ince. His crime? Pointing out that Ince's support for racial "affinity groups" violates James's command to "show no partiality." While other pastors freely criticized Ince's financial management and missed church planting goals, Brindle was shut down for touching the PCA's golden calf: racial reconciliation ideology.

We see the birth of John the Baptist today. First, we see that when he is born, people expect him to be named after his father. When Elizabeth says no, he is to be called John, but no one believes. It was only after his father agreed that he was able to speak again. But once Zechariah was able to speak, he began to prophecy and tell people what his son, John, would do. He would point others to Jesus. That was his job. And ours too.

Samson was a man of great potential, empowered by the Spirit, and given a task from his mother's womb. But he lived a life of compromise. The little ways that Samson gave way to sin soon grew, leading to terrible consequences that culminated in his death. But even from this fallen man we can see an imperfect type of Christ: a prophesied deliverer who defeated the enemy most in his death. We can also learn that despite how far a person drifts from the Lord, we serve a faithful and merciful God who still draws near to those who cry out to Him.
In this episode of Richardson's Rubicon, John Richardson talks with Colette Walker, leader of the Independence for Scotland Party, about the launch of Liberate Scotland and how it all links in with the UN decolonisation case. Colette shares how she has always felt Scottish rather than British and how class divisions in period dramas first sparked her distaste for the Union. She explains the founding of ISP in 2020 as a way to capture regional list seats under the D'Hondt system and boost pro-independence representation in Holyrood.Visit https://richardsonsrubicon.com/the-path-to-independence/ for more info! They explore how the strategy of contesting both constituency and list seats backfired in 2021. Colette describes how unionist parties gained extra seats on list votes because pro-independence voters split their support. ISP's plan is to stand under the Liberate Scotland banner on the list and in constituencies stand as ISP, ensuring a clear “indy party one” and “indy party two” ballot. This approach aims to build a super-majority of cross-party MSPs ready to claim a democratic mandate for independence.John raises concerns about candidates who arrive in Parliament with only one issue, independence. Colette defends the approach with a tease that more details will come. Pointing to policies in their manifesto like universal basic income, she insists these are somel examples of what a sovereign Scotland could do. Real decision making would follow a Swiss-style model of direct democracy. Citizens would propose and veto laws via binding referenda, with MSPs serving as accountable representatives rather than distant rulers with a take it or leave it attitude.They also discuss local government. Colette highlights how freeport schemes in England and privatisation of services shrink public spending and reduce Scotland's block grant. She notes that seventy per cent of Edinburgh lies within a freeport zone and that council investments there have already jumped five-fold. Both agree that smaller, more transparent local bodies and local referenda could rein in unresponsive authorities.On identity, Colette sides with Nicola Sturgeon's civic definition: anyone who lives in Scotland and contributes is Scottish. No ethnic or birth criteria apply. She wants a broad inclusive nation built on shared values. John is relieved! Looking ahead to Holyrood 2026, Colette promises a big launch of Liberate Scotland once logistics, crowdfunding, candidate selection and other details are set. She urges listeners to get involved with door-knocking, stalls and social media. Her call to action is clear: seize the moment to declare independence, or risk losing Scotland's resources and services for good.

“Why does my wife still act like I'm failing—when I'm working so hard to get it right?”“Why is he always so overwhelmed and scattered—can't he see how that affects me too?”In this episode of Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher, we kick off a new series exploring the unspoken emotional divide many couples face:Husbands feel like they're trying harder than ever—but it's never enough.Wives feel like they're carrying emotional weight alone, and no one's fixing the real problems.And both wonder why so many good intentions still lead to conflict, shutdowns, or confusion.We'll explore:Why planners, principles, and proven tools (like the DAR cycle) matter more than you thinkHow to build systems that restore spiritual confidence and emotional clarityWhy having your own “mission statement” and identity shields your self-worth from emotional sabotageThe power of consistent tracking—so you don't have to guess if you're progressingWhy the overwhelm you feel isn't weakness—it's often a sign of misaligned strategyThis episode is for husbands feeling buried by expectation and wives wondering why their husband still can't “just get it.”Let's decode the emotional chaos—and build something better.Want to read more about this topic? https://www.lifechangingservices.org/embracing-imperfections-and-fostering-compassion-in-marriage/Rather Watch Something? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-WnF68Jz3cCheck out Life Changing Services: https://www.lifechangingservices.org/
Now that we're halfway through 1 Timothy, I decided to devote one sermon to a half-time locker room style talk about how we're doing as a team. How ought we to conduct ourselves when we gather as this local expression of the Church, the body of Christ? And how ought we to conduct ourselves when we navigate real life every day? Here, in the Heritage Bible Church team huddle, how are we doing? What have we done so far that has helped us serve our Lord well? What can we do to build upon those strengths so that we keep becoming more effective in serving Him for His glory and our good? 1 - Be Encouraged 2 - Be Vigilant

Great – Greater – Greatest John 3:22-36IntroductionOld Weddings – the best man and the cultural differences… Then and now! Daniel and Mark as opposed to other traditions?The Continuity of Baptism looking at inward and outward expressions of faith.Is baptism a ritual without reality? Or is it a death to self and a transformation into life eternal? Is life the same after baptism as before? Or does the Holy Spirit take control?Charles Swindoll said: ‘As theologians and teachers of the Word we study the Holy Spirit from a safe doctrinal distance; we are loath to enter into any of the realms of His supernatural workings or even to tolerate the possibility of such. Explaining the Holy Spirit is one thing: experiencing Him another'”Competition in ministry is a good example of how we need to see the growth and constant development in character. Here the question is who is greater, and the influence we thought we had, is waning. See 1 Corinthians 1:10-15:“NowI exhort you,brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you allagree and that there be nodivisions among you, but that you bemade complete inthe same mind and in the same judgment.For I have been informed concerning you, my brethren, by Chloe'speople, that there are quarrels among you. Now I mean this, thateach one of you is saying, “I am of Paul,” and “I ofApollos,” and “I ofCephas,” and “I of Christ.” Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you, was he? Or were youbaptizedin the name of Paul?I thank God that Ibaptized none of you exceptCrispus andGaius, so that no one would say you were baptizedin my name.”Great to GreaterPsalm 96:4Forgreat is theLordandgreatly to be praised;He is to befearedabove all gods.Matthew 11:11Truly I say to you, among those born of women there has not arisenanyonegreater than John the Baptist! Yet the one who isleast in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.Who is the greatest? Luke 9:46;48An argumentstarted among them as to which of them might be the greatest.Jesus' reply to such questions?Then he said to them,“Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me.For it is the one who is least among you all who is the greatest.”John's answer is thought provoking: Jesus is the greatest because:The Supremacy of Jesus focuses on his OriginThe Testimony of Jesus focuses on his first-hand knowledgeThe Authority of Jesus focuses on the fullness and power of the Holy SpiritOur response to these things is important: Pointing people to Jesus Receiving the Holy Spirit

In this episode Justin discusses the role of the law in Christian theology, emphasizing its utility in revealing sin and leading people to Christ, as supported by Romans 7:7-11 and 1 Timothy 1:8-9. He explains that the law condemns sin, acting as a tutor that highlights the need for a savior, but it does not bring righteousness, which comes through faith in Jesus Christ. Justin critiques misunderstandings, such as equating law-keeping with salvation or dismissing the law entirely, and addresses movements that misapply the law, like certain Torah-observant groups. He stresses that the law is designed to convict the unrighteous—those who are lawless, ungodly, or sinful—pointing them to the cross, while grace and resurrection follow for those who accept Christ. Justin warns against offering grace prematurely without the law's convicting work and clarifies that true salvation involves humility, repentance, and a transformed life, not merely acceptance "as is," using biblical references to underscore the necessity of dying to sin before experiencing the life of Christ.

This episode of Wifey Wednesdays focuses on the time of the prophets in our Old Testament history. While there was an entire episode dedicated to Elijah, this episode is intended to overview the work of all of the prophets and ultimately showcase how they were pointing to Jesus. Giving bits and pieces of detail about some of the prophets, Emily directs the listener's attention to the blessing we have of living in a time that the prophets dreamed about — having the complete revealed will of God and knowing the scheme of redemption in full. This episode, while meant to round out our survey of the Old Testament, is hopefully going to encourage us to spend more time pouring over their words and basking in the goodness of God's plan and the blessing of living in a time where we can benefit from the work of Christ in our own lives! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Hello, everyone! Summer is definitely summering here in Texas, but the heat can't stop Some Guy in Austin and me from podcasting in the glorious air conditioning about things that bother us. He sent me a list of his "pet peeves," and some turned out to be more of an idiosyncrasy variety. Pointing that out to him, it turns out, is also a pet peeve of his. Go figure. At least I didn't touch his food. EPISODE NOTES: 75 Pet Peeves That Are Annoying SHOW NOTES: Subscribe to Podcast: iTunes or Android Follow Me: Instagram and Twitter Audio Player
Send us a textThank you, Henna Pryor for making today's episode possible!!!Greg Offner lived a compartmentalized life—corporate sales professional by day, piano bar performer by night. Though successful in both worlds, he felt disconnected from his authentic self, keeping different aspects of his personality in separate "buckets." Then disaster struck: a severe vocal cord injury threatened everything, leaving one vocal cord paralyzed after years of overuse, smoking, and untreated acid reflux.Greg poured his experience in music, business, and behavioral psychology into a framework for creating emotionally resonant, high-impact workplace experiences. The result became a keynote—and a book—focused on transforming disengaged workplaces into cultures where people thrive.Today, Greg helps organizations around the globe design Encore Experiences™—workplace moments so meaningful, people can't wait to come back and do it again.Through fifteen surgical procedures and periods of complete silence (communicating only through a whiteboard while healing), Greg spiraled into depression. The turning point came unexpectedly at a Tony Robbins event when a stranger named Svetlana observed: "You're trying to keep all these different parts of your life in buckets... But what if you didn't have those buckets? What if it was all brought together in one thing and that was you?" Pointing to the stage where Tony was speaking, she said, "I think you'd be doing something like that"—a lightning bolt moment that changed everything.Today, as a keynote speaker and father to two young daughters (Frankie, 4, and Trixie, 2), Greg brings his whole self to every aspect of life. He shares profound insights about balancing his driven personality with the unpredictability of parenting: "Replace expectations with hopes. Instead of mapping out my day, maybe replace it with 'wouldn't it be nice if...'" This shift creates space for grace when things don't go as planned.Drawing from his musical background, Greg teaches his daughters to "play your instrument in a way that elevates the performance of the players around you"—a philosophy that extends beyond music to life itself. His remarkable journey reminds us that sometimes our greatest setbacks lead to our most authentic path forward, especially when we stop compartmentalizing and bring all parts of ourselves together.Please don't forget to leave us a review wherever you consume your podcasts!

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/IJgD247smlQDay 19 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on May 20, 2025. Defense Attorney, Robert Alessi, continued cross examining Shanon Burgess. Questions arose regarding the accuracy of dates and timeline in the expert's analysis, with errors of 24 hours. Burgess kept saying that the event happened the night of January 29-30th when in reality is it was January 28-29th. Shanon's analysis of call logs, text streams, and vehicle data was scrutinized. There were concerns about the use of approximate times and potential confirmation bias. The expert did not have the raw data for the techstream information, he instead got it from Welcher's report. During redirect examination, Special Prosecutor, Hank Brennan, attempted to clarify Burgess' credentials and data interpretation. Pointing out that he didn't need that degree to perform his job and that work life balance made it a challenge to complete his degree.On Re-Cross Examination, Alessi pointed out that in a federal court filing in Texas, Burgess' resume stated he was anticipating a BGS - Bachelor of General Science in 2024. There is no Bachelor of General Science degree in Alabama and he has been pursuing this degree since 2008. The use of the Commonwealths presenting video and audio clips, especially the voicemail, appears to be related to establishing a timeline of Karen Read's movements and actions around the time of John O'Keefe's death. The defense may use it to show her actions were consistent, while the prosecution may use it to point out inconsistencies. The 12:25/12:30 timeframe she gives for John's passing may be challenged given her audio from the voicemail at 12:41AM.Later in the day, Christina Hanley, a trace analyst expert witness from the lab testified about a mechanical match on glass. The court adjourned early after sidebar discussions. We'll get back to her on Day 20.RESOURCESRetrial Day 10 - Voicemails - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2vEF0vxG2wWhat You Need to Know About the Retrial - https://youtu.be/89Jpa8vz1RQ Karen Read Retrial Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKOJlfL__9F027hlETVU-vo Karen Read Trial - 2024 - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKUeCUzApgsEuQRXu5IXeTSThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Spotify Ad Analytics - https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/ad-analytics-privacy-policy/Podscribe - https://podscribe.com/privacy
