On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we confront the horrific attack at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. The shooter, Robert “Robin” Westman, once walked those same halls as a student. Years of unchecked mental illness and spiritual rebellion ended in bloodshed.America is in denial. We refuse to face the truth: the transgender movement is built on a Satanic lie. No one can change the sex God gave them. Pretending otherwise doesn't heal broken souls, it destroys them and puts others in danger.Christians must speak plainly. Love does not mean affirming sin or confusion. Love means pointing people back to Christ, who alone gives us our identity. Until our nation repents and turns back to God, tragedies like this will only increase.Pray for the victims and their families.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

Years later in the 1980s, Rose's daughter, Emma Kagan leaves the USSR where she was born and struggles to survive in America after the Soviet union collapses. Then it's 2012, and Emma's daughter Libby joins the women's revolution in Syria. Rose flies to join her granddaughter and shares secrets she's buried for a lifetime about her involvement in the Spanish civil war and her dreams of a fair society. Alina Adams is the NYT best-selling author of soap opera tie-ins, figure skating mysteries, and romance novels. Her 1995 Regency Romance, "The Fictitious Marquis," was named a first #OwnVoices Jewish Historical by the Romance Writers of America.

Are you constantly making excuses for your partner's behavior? Walking on eggshells in your own home? Pretending to be asleep when they come to bed? Your intuition might be trying to tell you something important about your marriage. Society conditions us to believe marriage should last forever, that we must honor our vows "for better or worse." But what happens when that conditioning keeps us trapped in relationships that harm our wellbeing or prevent us from creating genuine happiness? This powerful episode tackles the signs that might indicate it's time to consider divorce, and more importantly, gives you permission to honestly ask yourself what you truly want. I'm not here to tell you whether you should get divorce. That decision belongs to you alone. However, I am here to help you recognize when your body, mind, and intuition are signaling that something needs to change. From researching divorce laws in your state to constantly walking on eggshells around your partner, these signals deserve your attention rather than dismissal. Many women stay in unhappy marriages because the uncertainty of divorce feels overwhelming. Will I be able to support myself financially? Where will I live? How will this affect my children? These are valid concerns, but they're obstacles that can be overcome with proper planning and support. As women, we are remarkably resilient and resourceful. We are really great at problem solving. We figure things out all the time, often while juggling multiple responsibilities already. You deserve to wake up feeling hopeful about your day and your future. You deserve relationships that add to your life rather than drain your energy. Most importantly, you deserve to give yourself permission to create the life you truly want, even if that means ending your current marriage. The healing begins once you face the truth of what you want and take those first steps toward a different future. Whether you're considering divorce yourself or know someone who might need this message, remember: choosing yourself isn't selfish; it's necessary for your wellbeing and ultimately benefits everyone around you.To download your FREE GUIDE: "7-Day Self Trust Reset" click here.

Daily Study: There is a popular expression that says, “Fake it until you make it.“ Some people have applied this concept to faith; however, you can't fake faith until you get it. Pretending to be in faith doesn't give you the power to receive the things you desire. Instead, be honest with God if you lack faith, and He will help you.

The Museum of the Bible presents an evolutionary construct concerning the development of monotheism in the world. But this is because they are attempting to be non-sectarian, and non-evangelical. Is it possible to be religiously neutral, and to present the evidence, without first filtering the evidence through a preconceived worldview? This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Trump hopes to get in Heaven by saving Russian/Ukrainian lives; Surge of young Brits trusting in God; 5 VA schools lose federal funding over pro-transgender policies) 2.

Ever smiled through a pounding migraine just to get through the day? You're not alone. Many migraine sufferers wear a “migraine mask” — hiding our pain to keep working, caring, or just functioning in a world that doesn't always understand invisible illness.This episode of The Migraine Heroes Podcast explores the complex reality of masking: when it helps you survive, and when it quietly takes a toll on your body and mind. Hosted by Diane Ducarme, who has guided hundreds of women in rewriting their migraine story, we blend Western neuroscience with Eastern healing wisdom to uncover the unseen cost of pretending to be fine.You'll discover:

This conversation shook me. Cheryl Hunter is a cowgirl from Colorado who was kidnapped as a teenager. Instead of letting that trauma define her she turned it into her mission. Now she's a four-time TED talk speaker who helps mission-driven experts gain audiences of millions through major media. But her journey to get there is what will blow your mind. After being abducted Cheryl spent over a decade hiding what happened to her. Pretending it never occurred. When she told her mom she was depressed her mom said go help someone who has it worse than you. So Cheryl started volunteering at elder care facilities. She met Holocaust survivors. War veterans. People who had been through unthinkable adversity. Some were hardened for life. Others lived happy productive lives. She started breaking down what worked and what didn't. Created a framework for overcoming adversity. The first time she shared her story publicly was terrifying. She worried people would see how dirty and ruined she was. Worried they'd ask why she didn't stay to get her attackers put in jail instead of running for her life. But she realized she could be the voice for people who felt too weak too ruined to stand up for themselves. She could show what's possible on the other side of trauma. This episode is about turning your biggest pain into your greatest purpose. About understanding that if you've got something on your heart that you want to share you have within you what it takes to fulfill it. And about recognizing that the moment we say yes to what's on our path it reveals its gifts to us.We Meet:Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanConnect with Cheryl: https://cherylhunter.com/ Subscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLINAbout Cheryl: Cheryl Hunter is a bestselling author, speaker, and media personality who shares her message worldwide on outlets including People Magazine, Goalcast, Dr.Phil, NBCNews, Dr. Oz, CNN, Fox, PBS, and more.

Have you heard? The IRS just gave churches the green light to endorse political candidates. It's Jess Birken here, and I'm back with my co-host Meghan to dig into a recent IRS policy change that could shake up the nonprofit and political landscape. Real Listener Question: Not a listener question this time — Meghan brought the heat herself: “Did the IRS really just say churches can endorse political candidates from the pulpit? What does that mean for everyone else?” This episode covers some breaking nonprofit news (well, as breaking as it gets around here). The IRS just shifted how it interprets the Johnson Amendment — and the result is that churches can now legally endorse candidates if it's “in connection with religious services.” That's a big deal, not just for religious orgs, but for how money moves in campaigns and the broader nonprofit world. Meghan and I unpack what this ruling really means, how it might impact campaign finance, and why it feels like the rules suddenly don't apply equally anymore. What You'll Learn: What the Johnson Amendment is and how it used to work How a recent court filing changed enforcement for churches Why this doesn't apply to other nonprofits How this opens the door to new forms of dark money in political campaigns Why this matters even if your nonprofit isn't religious What the potential downstream effects might be in campaign finance Why transparency is the real issue underneath it all Bottom line: This isn't just about churches. It's about the integrity of the nonprofit sector and the role transparency plays in public trust. If you care about clean campaigns and nonprofit accountability, you should be paying attention.

Order my newest book Make Money Easy! https://lewishowes.com/moneyyouCheck out the full episode: greatness.lnk.to/1420"It's actually our inability to be vulnerable that makes us weak." - BRENÉ BROWNBrené Brown completely flips everything we've been taught about strength and vulnerability on its head. She reveals how our society's obsession with avoiding pain - whether through medication, alcohol, blame, or just pretending we're fine - has created the most medicated, addicted, and emotionally fragile generation in history. Through a brilliant football analogy about injured quarterbacks, she shows why the teams that acknowledge their vulnerabilities and adapt their strategy always outperform those that pretend nothing's wrong. Her insights cut straight to the heart of why so many men struggle with anger, rage, and feeling completely lost when life hits them hard.What makes this conversation so powerful is how Brené connects the dots between our personal struggles and what's happening in our country right now. She explains why the cheapest form of leadership is giving people someone to hate and blame, and how our collective inability to sit with discomfort is literally tearing us apart. Lewis opens up about his own journey of deliberately seeking pain and discomfort every day to build his emotional resilience, and together they explore why acknowledging your vulnerability isn't just brave - it's the only way to actually protect yourself when life inevitably gets tough.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter
Delight Your Marriage | Relationship Advice, Christianity, & Sexual Intimacy
Forgiveness is Key to Better Relationships: Interview With Brian & Heather Mayer Forgiveness can feel like the most unfair, unnatural thing in the world. When someone has wounded you—especially someone who was supposed to love you—choosing to forgive may feel like letting them off the hook. But Brian and Heather Mayer's story reminds us: forgiveness isn't about the other person's worthiness—it's about God's mercy. And it's the path to freedom, not just for them… but for you. Why Christian Marriages Struggle With Forgiveness Heather didn't realize how deeply unforgiveness had taken root. Even after their marriage began to turn a corner, her heart stayed guarded. She found herself stuck emotionally. The walls she had put up to protect herself were still up. And though they gave the illusion of strength, what they actually offered was isolation. She said, “I didn't feel like forgiving. I didn't want to say the words. But I knew the Bible said I had to. So I chose to obey—even without the feelings.” This is what many Christian spouses experience. You know the right thing to do, but your emotions don't follow. And it's tempting to wait until you “feel ready.” But true biblical forgiveness isn't based on emotion—it's a decision of the will rooted in trust that God can heal what you cannot. How Unforgiveness Destroys Connection in Marriage Brian admitted he had been prideful and blind to Heather's needs. But what changed him wasn't just guilt—it was God's grace. He realized that he needed to ask for forgiveness, not just from Heather, but from their children, too. “I had to go back and apologize, not just for being short or irritable—but for the way my behavior affected my family.” He humbled himself, opened his heart, and began walking out a different kind of love—one marked by patience, listening, and repentance. That humility created space for healing. Unforgiveness doesn't just affect the person who hurt you—it poisons your heart, your communication, your marriage bed, and even your parenting. Because where pride builds walls of resentment to isolate, humility builds bridges and invites healing. What the Bible Says About Forgiveness in Marriage God never promised forgiveness would be easy—but He did say it's essential. Ephesians 4:32 says, “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.” Jesus modeled radical forgiveness on the cross. And He calls His followers to extend that same grace in our closest relationships—even in marriage. Brian and Heather didn't wait until things “felt better.” They took action. They forgave before the emotions lined up. And that obedience opened the door for healing. Choosing to Forgive Even When You've Been Deeply Hurt Forgiveness does not mean: Forgetting what happened Pretending it didn't hurt Ignoring necessary boundaries But it does mean surrendering the right to punish. It means releasing bitterness so you can receive peace. It means trusting God with your pain instead of letting it define your future. Healing Starts With Forgiveness Bitterness promises protection—but delivers bondage. Forgiveness opens the floodgates of grace—not just for your spouse, but for you. For your kids. For your home. For your legacy. You don't have to live angry. You don't have to stay stuck. There is freedom on the other side of obedience. There is peace that replaces pain. There is joy waiting where there used to be fear. And best of all? You don't walk this alone. The God who forgave you will empower you to forgive—again and again. Final Encouragement: Forgiveness Is the Gateway to Freedom Brian and Heather's story is living proof that no marriage is too far gone. That even the most painful seasons can become a testimony of God's redemption. Maybe your spouse has wounded you deeply. Or maybe you're the one who's caused the pain. Either way, Jesus stands ready to walk you both into something new. Today, start with one brave act of obedience: “I choose to forgive.” Even if your hands tremble. Even if your heart still aches. God will meet you there. And the freedom you long for is closer than you think.

PPPS - Here is a quote from a recent graduate: "I struggled with unforgiveness and bitterness, lack of joy in motherhood, emotional lability, and frequent mental trips to the past… [Now,] I am able to self-regulate my emotions better. I have gained the ability to understand my emotions and thoughts from a more objective standpoint instead of being a victim to my thoughts and emotions... I've grown in my understanding of forgiveness and how that flushes out to my everyday life… When I joined the program, I was hoping that my work would change my husband and my marriage. I didn't realize just how much work I had for my own heart!”
