Most men don't realise their ‘niceness' isn't genuine. It's fear. Fear of rejection. Fear of confrontation. Fear of women having power over them. In this video, I break down why your need to be liked is killing your attraction — and how conflict avoidance is really a form of self-betrayal. Because here's the truth: when you're powerful, you stop forcing harmony. You stop bending. And you start leading. If you've ever found yourself playing it safe just to avoid upsetting a woman, this video will show you exactly what's going wrong — and how to change it.

This fiery political commentary dives into two major power battles reshaping American politics. First, it exposes how racial gerrymandering, census fraud, and manipulated congressional maps have allegedly gifted Democrats up to 30 House seats they shouldn't hold—distorting the true voice of voters and obstructing Donald Trump's agenda. With a pending Supreme Court decision on race-based districting and hopes for a more accurate future census, conservatives see a chance to reclaim those seats and finally pass meaningful reforms. The conversation then pivots to South Carolina, where Congresswoman Nancy Mace's announcement to run for governor sparks intrigue. Known for her fiscal conservatism and socially moderate stances, Mace faces a tough primary against staunch conservatives like Alan Wilson and Pam Everett. With 52% of voters still undecided, her shifting positions on abortion and transgender issues may make or break her campaign. As the race heats up, questions mount: Who is the real Nancy Mace—and will she tilt right or left when it counts?

Are you pushing your kids to get a job because you think it will teach them hard work and responsibility?You might want to rethink that strategy.In this game-changing episode, we challenge the traditional mindset that getting a job is the best way to teach kids responsibility or financial sense. Instead, we lay out a powerful case for raising children to think like entrepreneurs, not employees.We share how we've raised our own 7 children to develop grit, work ethic, and real-world resilience—without relying on traditional jobs or minimum wage work. From modeling hard things like summiting Mount Kilimanjaro to investing in books, mentorship, and business attempts, our goal is to teach ownership, not just obedience.We also address how to create an extraordinary family life by building a home culture of learning, experimentation, and high standards for personal growth. Plus, we dive into why financial education and risk-taking matter more than ever—and how using debt wisely is a skill, not a sin.If you're serious about raising independent, capable, and wealthy kids, this episode is packed with mindset shifts and tactical advice to get you there.

On today's show, we're digging into the story that's dominated Spurs Twitter this week. Tottenham believed they had met the £60 million release clause for Morgan Gibbs-White, only for Nottingham Forest and their owner, Evangelos Marianakis, to block the move. Was the clause actually triggered? Did Forest act in bad faith? And where does this leave Spurs, a club trying to make serious moves in the market, when even clear contractual agreements seem to be up for interpretation? To help make sense of it all, I'm joined by Greg from Forest Focus, who knows the inner workings of Nottingham Forest better than most. We'll talk about Marianakis's decision to reject the deal, how Forest fans view his leadership, and whether there's any fear that his strong-arm tactics could one day damage the club's Premier League status. We'll also discuss Morgan Gibbs-White himself, what kind of player Spurs were trying to sign, whether he wanted the move, and if he should have taken it further by involving the PFA.

→ Prayer CalendarPotty training is one of the most common parenting milestones and often, one of the most stressful. In this episod, we offer a refreshing grace-filled perspective that rather than chasing quick fixes or rigid timelines, invites parents to slow down, follow their child's cues, and see this developmental stage as an opportunity to walk with their child.Blending research, practical steps, and biblical encouragement, this episode reframes potty training as a joy-filled process of growth (as much as it can be), independence, and discipleship.Episode Highlights[00:00:00] Introduction: Why potty training feels stressful for so many parents[00:04:30] When to begin: Signs of readiness, developmental timing, and early interest[00:08:00] First steps: Preparing your environment and changing your expectations[00:13:30] Nighttime training strategies: Sheets, plastic covers, and grace[00:19:00] Language tips: Avoiding phrases like “Do it for Mommy”3 TakeawaysPotty training is your child's developmental work not a performance to manage or a schedule to control. When you treat it as a learning process rather than a task to complete, you reduce pressure and increase joy.Encouragement beats rewards. Positive reinforcement rooted in celebration, praise, and connection is more effective than material rewards or punishments. Visuals, routines, and sibling examples help build independence.God invites us to walk with our children in every milestone including potty training. With patience, presence, and prayer, we can guide them through this stage as a form of loving discipleship.Please send us your questions if you'd like to have them discussed on the podcast: themindofachildpodcast@gmail.com The Mind of a Child is an early child development podcast that exists to encourage and equip parents to raise their kids to love God and love others. If you're looking for Biblical principles, practical parenting solutions, and science-backed research, our discussions are specifically tailored for you. Our hosts are Leslie Dudley Corbell and Diane Doucet Matthews, who each have a combined 50+ years of experience in the early child parenting space.

Are you constantly battling with your child over decisions—like what they wear, eat, or how they spend their time? Do you worry they'll make bad choices if you give them too much freedom?In this candid conversation, we break down the art and science of teaching kids how to make their own decisions—while still keeping them safe, supported, and connected to you.The goal of parenting isn't to control your child's every move; it's to teach them how to think, how to choose, and how to handle the natural consequences of their decisions. But how do you do that without letting them fall off the proverbial cliff?In this episode, we reveal exactly how to balance freedom with boundaries, so your child can develop real-life decision-making skills without damaging your relationship in the process.Whether you're raising toddlers or teens, this episode will help you shift from a control-based parenting model to one focused on agency, connection, and life skills development.Key Takeaways:✅ Why letting kids make mistakes early prevents disasters later✅ How to avoid power struggles while still being a responsible parent✅ The difference between teaching and controlling—and why it matters✅ How to give your child more agency without letting go too soon✅ Why "passing the class" is our family's secret parenting frameworkMemorable Quotes:

Do you ever lie awake at night feeling like you're failing your children? You're not alone. Research shows a staggering 78% of mothers believe they aren't doing enough for their kids. But what if everything we've been told about perfect parenting is wrong?This episode delivers a revolutionary truth that might just set you free: according to Circle of Security research spanning decades and thousands of families, you only need to "get it right" about 30% of the time for your child to develop secure attachment. That's right—30% is an A+ in the parenting world. When I first learned this as a mother years ago, I literally wept with relief. After all the books, courses, and well-meaning advice about everything parents should do perfectly, discovering this 30% threshold felt like someone had finally released the pressure valve on impossible expectations.Even more fascinating, research from psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott on "the good enough mother" shows that our imperfections actually benefit our children. Just as trees grown without wind eventually topple because they never develop strong roots, children need the "wind" of manageable disappointments to build what I call their "struggle muscles." Your child's frustration tolerance and resilience grow stronger precisely because you aren't perfect. As Dr. Jane Nelsen, co-founder of Positive Discipline, told me in a previous interview: "The one thing parents need to do differently is stop trying to be perfect."Ready to learn more about sustainable parenting that balances kindness with firmness?

Are you worried you're “not spiritual enough” to lead your kids in faith? Do you wonder if you've messed up too much to guide them in hearing God's voice?The truth is—you don't have to be perfect to raise spiritually confident kids.In this interview episode with Jen from Java With Jen, we have a candid conversation about hearing God's voice as a family—and why perfection is NOT a requirement for spiritual growth.

We're advocating for intentionality. For living deliberately. For creating a family culture that nurtures emotional health, purpose, and joy.We talk about the hard choices, the personal growth it required, the sacrifices we made—and why we'd make them all over again.Whether you're a parent wondering if there's another way… or already on the path of designing your own extraordinary life… this episode will inspire you to ask better questions and bravely pursue the life you really want.

Today, Les, Martha, and Jeffrey unpack the swirl of rumors that emerged from Beijing after Chinese President Xi Jinping disappeared from public view for several weeks in May. With whispers of internal dissent, missed Politburo meetings, and PLA shakeups, questions are mounting about the stability of Xi's leadership—and whether the Chinese Communist Party is entering a new phase of uncertainty.As China grapples with deepening economic troubles, demographic decline, and foreign policy stumbles, speculation over leadership succession and elite discontent is running high.

The Cyrus Accord and the Future of the New World Order Welcome to a riveting episode of Right On Radio where we delve into the complex interplay of prophecy, politics, and global power dynamics. Join us as we kick off this enlightening discussion with Jeff and special guest John Brisson from "We've Read the Documents," available on Substack and YouTube. John shares his insights on the attempted acceleration of prophecy by world powers, suggesting that a malevolent force is pushing to fulfill prophecy on their timeline. We extend the discourse with thought-provoking discussions about the political chess game involving figures like RFK Jr., who, while advocating for superficial health improvements, are surreptitiously promoting transhumanism and surveillance through wearables and digital currencies. The conversation unveils troubling connections and agendas concealed from the public eye, urging listeners to question the apparent narratives provided by political elites. Dive into compelling narratives around the geopolitical tensions between Iran, Israel, and the USA, as our hosts consider the historical underpinnings of these conflicts, speculating on economic motivations and potential moves towards a new world order. Revelations about Iran's involvement in the global financial system and the possible implementation of digital currencies highlight the march towards a unified control system, potentially heralding a one-world currency propounded by biblical prophecy. Throughout this enlightening episode, Jeff and John examine the role of faith versus deception in this turbulent world, shedding light on potential false flags and deceptions that may lead many astray, but also rallying believers to stand firm in their faith and discernment. The episode concludes with personal anecdotes and a reminder of the underlying spiritual battle, encouraging a return to foundational Christian values in the face of uncertainty.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, the framers of the Constitution did not grant courts, such as the International Court of Trade, the final authority on matters like tariffs, reserving that power for Congress. The Constitution gives Congress broad authority over taxation and spending, and through a 1977 emergency law, it delegated certain tariff powers to the president. Courts lack the constitutional basis to override such delegations. Historical records, including Madison's notes, the Federalist Papers, and state ratification debates, show the framers rejected giving courts supreme authority, like judicial review, to resolve separation-of-powers disputes. The framers of the Constitution, heavily influenced by Montesquieu, designed a government with a strict separation of powers to prevent tyranny, as Montesquieu warned that combining legislative, executive, or judicial powers in one entity leads to arbitrary rule and oppression. Congress should address this through legislation, not courts through litigation. Also, Sam Antar accused a Politico writer of "reputational laundering" for praising  New York AG Letitia James as a "Shadow Attorney General" in a Democratic shadow cabinet, while ignoring her federal criminal investigation for alleged mortgage fraud. Politico's omission of the DOJ referral shows the media bias, as James has targeted Trump, notably winning a $450M civil fraud case against him.  Later, the Wall Street Journal reports the decline of America's military-industrial capacity compared to China's rapid growth in the sector. The U.S. has allowed its defense manufacturing and supply chains to weaken due to underinvestment, outsourcing, and a focus on short-term efficiency over long-term resilience. This is frightening.
