Podcasts about pronouns

   After the Kansas Board of Regents ordered all DEI eliminated from state universities there was still a question if KU would try to resist the directive.  But on Tuesday, KU Chancellor Doug Girod issued a memo to all employees emphatically directing them to dump pronouns and a whole bunch of other crazy stuff by July 31.  What a great day for KU!    Tariff deals are in place now with the Philippines and Japan.  The deal with Japan is massive and unprecedented and the Philippines deal is gloriously lopsided in the favor of USA.      Trump unloaded on Barack Hussein Obama Tuesday indicating he's guilty of treason and every other word you can think of and they have Obama "stone cold."   Well, there's no backing off this now.    ESPN has started its football coverage, normally very good, in terrible fashion.  We have examples featuring the Chiefs and Cowboys.    Adam Sandler is starring in Happy Gilmore 2 beginning Friday on Netflix and had some really great comments about Travis Kelce in the movie.    Salvy's two home runs Monday night have a really great side story as he took two boys out of the stands after the game and gave them bats.  They were boys he didn't know and this story is the stuff of legend.    The two candidates running for Mayor of Overland Park both indicate the Royals at 119th and Nall is unwanted by their residents.  One candidate goes as far as to say over 95% of people in the area hate it.   And our Final Final is the SMU football coach blasting the SEC.

The Tortoise and the Hare: How Strategic Patience Lets Conservatives Win While Progressives Burn OutIn the culture war, it's not ideology that wins. It's tempo. Progressives operate in existential now-or-never mode. Conservatives move like tectonic plates. One sprints. The other strategizes. One demands transformation overnight. The other sits silently, waiting for the overreach—and then strikes.Progressives are the hare. They lurch forward, propelled by urgency. Climate catastrophe. Trans suicide rates. Racism. Abortion. Every issue is a crisis. Every delay is violence. So they sprint ahead, sure of their moral position and shocked when the rest of the country doesn't keep up.Conservatives are the tortoise. They rarely push forward. They don't need to. Their goal isn't to change the world, but to preserve it. So they wait. They accept setbacks—like the 1994 assault weapons ban—with stoicism. They don't riot. They buy bolt-actions and wait 10 years. When the ban expires, they don't just reclaim their rights. They expand them. Since 2004, constitutional carry has spread to over half the country. Patience, rewarded.Nowhere is this clearer than the post-Roe abortion fight. The Right spent 49 years quietly building the legal scaffolding to reverse it. Meanwhile, the Left treated Roe as settled. When it fell, progressives wailed—but had no fallback plan. No state-level fortifications. No legal infrastructure. The tortoise had already passed them.This isn't about intelligence. Progressives often mock conservatives as yokels—NASCAR fans, Jesus freaks, dip chewers. But a man who loves monster trucks may also have a 140 IQ, a 30-year plan, and a long memory. He doesn't waste time arguing online. He runs for school board. He takes the sheriff's seat. He teaches his kids to shoot, pray, and vote. Then, when the time comes, he acts—methodically, relentlessly.The hare laughs until the tortoise wins.There's a second metaphor here, and it must remain distinct: the frogs in the pot. These are not the activists. These are the normies. The moral majority. The 80% who tolerate change—until it starts to feel like a boil. Drag queen story hour. Pronoun policing. Puberty blockers for kids. Decolonized math. At some point, the temperature hits critical mass, and the frogs jump. Not toward the Left—but away from it.Progressives don't seem to understand this dynamic. They confuse silence for consent. But most Americans are simply conflict-averse. They'll tolerate the weirdness, up to a point. But the moment the cultural revolution starts targeting their children, redefining biology, or punishing dissent, they recoil. Then they vote Republican—not because they're cruel, but because they want the heat turned down.You cannot sprint people into transformation. You must shepherd them, carefully. The progressive movement acts like a sheepdog panicked by the slow herd. They bark louder. They nip at the heels. But push too hard, and the herd doesn't obey—it stampedes. The stampede tramples everything, including the cause itself.If progressives want to win long-term, they must understand what conservatives already know: the real race isn't won in viral moments. It's won through patient, generational strategy. Through zoning boards, state legislatures, curriculum policy, and quiet legal warfare. It's won by letting the hare exhaust itself in front of the cameras—while the tortoise lays the foundation for permanence behind the scenes.In American politics, the tortoise doesn't just finish the race.He builds the track.

The Voice of God God: My Pronouns Are I / Us Essential Church June 29, 2025 SUMMARY The message focuses on the role and significance of the Holy Spirit within the Christian faith. It begins with a depiction of a Baptist church member seeking the Holy Ghost to fill his congregation, emphasizing the desire for spiritual movement and presence. The pastor delves into the nature of the Holy Spirit, clarifying that it is not an abstract force but a person within the Trinity, which is one in essence but three in person. The discussion highlights the Holy Spirit's role in pointing believers towards Jesus Christ, emphasizing that the Spirit's work is to make individuals more Christ-like. The message also explores the concept of the Holy Spirit working with, in, and through believers, using the analogy of a theatrical play where God is the director, Jesus takes center stage, and the Holy Spirit is like the tech crew, orchestrating the unseen elements that enhance the experience. Furthermore, the pastor addresses common misconceptions about the hierarchy within the Trinity, likening it to a baseball team where each member knows their role without a single person calling all the shots. The message concludes with a prayer, asking for sensitivity to the Holy Spirit's guidance and a deeper relationship with God. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. **Role of the Holy Spirit**: How does the message describe the role of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer? What are the three prepositions used to explain this role? 2. **Focus on Jesus**: Why does the pastor emphasize that the Holy Spirit always points towards Jesus Christ? How can this understanding affect a believer's relationship with the Holy Spirit? 3. **Trinity Analogy**: The message uses a baseball team analogy to describe the Trinity. How does this analogy help clarify the roles within the Trinity? Do you find this analogy effective? 4. **Misconceptions about the Holy Spirit**: What are some common misconceptions about the Holy Spirit mentioned in the video? How does the speaker address these misconceptions? 5. **Personal Experience**: The pastor shares personal experiences of overcoming challenges with the help of the Holy Spirit. How do these stories illustrate the practical work of the Holy Spirit in everyday life? 6. **Empowerment and Gifts**: The message discusses the debate over supernatural fillings versus the enhancement of God-given talents. What are your thoughts on this debate? How do you see the Holy Spirit working in your own life? 7. **Prayer and Sensitivity**: The message concludes with a prayer for sensitivity to the Holy Spirit's guidance. How can believers cultivate this sensitivity in their daily lives?

The different faces of identity: Navigating sexual orientation and gender expression   Welcome back to Blended!   Today, we're talking about sexual orientation, gender identity and expression.   Discussions around these issues have been hitting the headlines more and more in recent months. And it's fair to say that many recent rulings and debates have felt like a step backward for a lot of different communities – they just want the freedom to be themselves. But there's a fundamental lack of understanding. A lot of people just don't understand what it means to have a different identity or expression. And a lack of understanding, the unfamiliar or unknown, is what often sits behind fear.   So today we're going to be opening up a conversation to encourage understanding, so we can fight that fear and create spaces that are safe and welcoming for everyone.   IN THIS EPISODE:   [01.02] Introductions to our Blended panelists.   ·       Kai – Social Scientist, President of TransFocus and speaker ·       Ross – Vice President at GLAAD Media Institute, author and speaker  ·       Kiara-Kumail – Employee at White Ribbon and actor     [04.23] The group explore sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression and the many factors around these topics, from pronouns and labels, to authenticity and fear.   ·       Sex vs gender ·       Labels ·       Evolution of labels/identities ·       Words/identities mean different things to different people ·       ‘I am' vs ‘I identify as' ·       Asking open-ended questions ·       Creating safe spaces o   What are they? o   How do we create them? o   Language o   Infrastructure o   Support/listening ·       We're more than just our identities ·       Definitions becoming reductive ·       Problems with identity becoming politicized  ·       The growth of LGBTQIA+ ·       Pronouns ·       How we introduce ourselves    ·       The nuance of curiosity and asking questions ·       Respect ·       Fear of making a mistake ·       Being open to being corrected ·       Acknowledging, and apologizing for, mistakes ·       Making assumptions ·       Internal vs external ·       Control ·       Cultural rules ·       How gender expression relates to physical safety ·       Masculinity and femininity ·       Shifting gender expression to suit different environments ·       Belonging ·       Authenticity ·       How anti-trans sentiment also harms cisgender people     “Labels will never fully be able to capture everything, though they help people identify in certain ways. Ultimately, it's not about fully understanding everything, it's about respect and being a good human being. And labels expand and mean different things to different people. The community exists beyond a monolith, we all have different opinions – there's no one easy answer unfortunately.” Kiara-Kumail   “Sexual orientation and gender identity are not just LGBTQ things, they're something we all have. We all have a way in which we know and understand ourselves, and share it out with the world.” Ross   “There's no right or wrong… But the way we can be more expansive is to say: ‘Tell me about yourself.' It's an open-ended question, and then people can feel free to share whatever they want... Sometimes people are hesitant, because they don't know whether it's safe to share.” Kai   “If someone raises an issue, that's a big deal because it takes so much energy. Most people in the research we do, do not raise issues. About 75% have issues, but don't raise them.” Kai   “Introducing yourself is a good way to do it. Because, if you're asking, be honest: Are you asking the only visibly trans person in the room, or are you asking everybody that? Sometimes inclusion can actually be exclusionary. It's good practice not to single one person out.” Kiara-Kumail   “For trans and non-binary folks, people often misread them – we look at the exterior and jump to conclusions… They're misgendered about 70% of the time, it's on a daily basis, and that's a heavy burden to bear.” Kai     [40.44] The panel share an overview of where the US currently is with gender and sexuality issues, why many feel that we've taken a step backwards, and why it's so important to continue to talk about these issues openly and without judgement.   ·       Similarity to the persecution of gay men during the AIDs crisis in the 1980s ·       Modern radicalization of boys and men ·       Manosphere ·       Danger of discriminatory echo chambers ·       Dehumanization ·       Allyship ·       Honest, open dialogue ·       Separating fact from fiction  ·       Combined vision – weaving in women's and men's issues ·       Overlapping needs/intersectionality ·       Shared benefits ·       Trying to turn negatives into positives ·       Speed of change     “We'd previously been making quite a lot of progress, especially on trans issues and rights… Now it feels like a reversal. But I think it's a pause, to allow more people to catch up… I try to understand many different perspectives and I hear time and time again: it's too fast. So, OK – let's regroup, restart the conversation, go back, and go through the basics.” Kai   [49.40] The group discuss what organizations can do to support the LGBTQIA+ community in the current political environment.   ·       Increasing millennial and Gen Z affinity with LGBTQ community ·       Millennial and Gen Z groups are customers and employees – driving expectations ·       Support grounded in values ·       Difference between what organizations say and do (social media vs real policy) ·       Need for larger systemic change, changing norms ·       Appreciation of queer culture, not just people ·       Analysis of biases ·       Providing health insurance that covers gender affirming care ·       Organizations pulling out of Pride/removing certain stock from shelves/pulling DEI programs    ·       More inclusive parental packages, i.e. IVF and adoption ·       Support for name changes ·       Areas for active leaning, e.g. Role play   ·       Intent – the importance of trying ·       The importance of listening ·       Kai's experience of working with two-spirit first nation people ·       Trans folk are not new! o   They exist in every culture, throughout time o   Different names, e.g. ‘third gender' in India o   Trans history has been erased o   Colonialism set certain parameters for gender, expression, marriage, etc. ·       Calling in experts – and paying them! ·       Context ·       Consistency ·       Self-reflection   “In the US, despite everything we've talked about, peoples affinity with the LGBTQ community has only grown – it's tripled since 2012 when Gallop started measuring… And that growth is from Gen Z and Millennials… Which means, for companies and organizations, these are your customers, these are your employees and your future leaders.” Ross “It's going to be a smaller group, but a more effective one. Because those are the ones that want to do the deep work.” Kai “People feel neutral to positive about things like Pride merchandise… the same way they think about a sports team brand. What's the difference between wearing a rainbow t-shirt or a Vikings jersey – to a lot of people, they're the same thing.”  Ross “It's about showing up, it's about listening, and getting to know. Because when you have a depth of knowing, you can start to take more tangible action in a way that's connected with people. It's relational.” Kai   [1.14.18] The panel sum up their thoughts from today's discussion.    RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED: You can connect with Kiara-Kumail, Kai and Ross over on LinkedIn.  

Can trans men be lesbians? That's the "hot" topic all over social right now, and today we openly discussed where we are at surrounding the topic. We talk about how labels can be helpful and hurtful at the same time, and how we continue to learn more and more as we make our way deeper into this community as late in life lesbians.https://www.sheboyganpress.com/story/opinion/readers/2025/06/15/sheboygan-stories-for-pride-month-meet-kirby-ember/84132944007/

Dance with the Trinity (Genesis 1) God: My Pronouns are I/Us June 15, 2025 Essential Church SUMMARY The message explores the concept of the Trinity in Christian theology, emphasizing its complexity and significance. The speaker explains that God is one in essence but three in persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This doctrine, known as the Trinity, is fundamental to understanding the nature of God and the purpose of life, which is to engage in a loving relationship with this triune God for eternity. The message uses various analogies to illustrate the Trinity, such as comparing it to an egg or a fruit, to help convey the idea of three distinct persons in one essence. It also discusses the relational aspect of the Trinity, likening it to a marriage where two become one, highlighting the unity and oneness within the Godhead. The pastor emphasizes that the Trinity is not a mathematical problem but a relationship of love and unity. This relationship invites believers to participate in a divine dance of love, which is God's ultimate plan for humanity. The Project concludes by encouraging listeners to grasp the understanding of God's vision and purpose in creation, which is to expand the circle of love.  DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. **Understanding the Trinity**: How does the analogy of an egg or fruit help in understanding the concept of the Trinity? What are the limitations of these analogies? 2. **Relational Aspect**: How does the analogy of marriage illustrate the relational aspect of the Trinity? In what ways does this analogy help or hinder our understanding? 3. **Nature of God**: What does the statement "God is love" mean in the context of the Trinity? How does this understanding affect our perception of God's nature? 4. **Purpose of Creation**: According to the Project, what is God's purpose in creation? How does this relate to the concept of expanding the circle of love? 5. **Personal Reflection**: How does the idea of being invited into a "divine dance of love" resonate with you personally? What implications does this have for your spiritual life? 6. **Mystery of the Trinity**: Why is the Trinity often described as a mystery? How can we reconcile the complexity of this doctrine with our faith?

An examination of the masculinity of God on Father's Day 2025!

In today's episode of Lo On The Go, Lo Bosworth takes a misty walk through Madison Square Park with the multi-talented Cyrus Veyssi. From TikTok stardom to using humor as a tool for empowerment, Cyrus shares their journey of owning their narrative, challenging the gender binary, and why laughter — especially about yourself — is one of the most powerful forms of healing.Lo and Cyrus head to Alo studios for pilates, while they explore mental health, body acceptance, and rebuilding strength after setbacks. Cyrus opens up about balancing wellness with compassion, the importance of doing things at your own pace, and why embracing imperfection can actually unlock deeper confidence. Key Takeaways:1. Confidence is a practice, not a personality trait — it's a muscle you have to work on daily.2. Wellness isn't linear — healing and strength-building take time and self-compassion.3. Humor can be a powerful way to process trauma — but laughing at yourself is different than laughing at others.4. Social media can democratize storytelling — anyone can own their narrative, no permission needed.5. Health isn't always visible — true health and healing happen internally and can't always be ""seen"" externally. Chapters:00:00 – Meet Cyrus: Comedian, Creator, Change-maker02:01 – The Power of Walking and Movement for Mental Health04:21 – TikTok Fame, Organized Chaos, and Doing it for the Girls, Gays, and Theys08:01 – How Humor Helped Cyrus Find Empowerment12:01 – Pilates, Mental Fortitude, and Healing After Surgery17:01 – Building Confidence Like a Muscle22:31 – The Myth of Visual Health and Compassion for All Bodies28:01 – Funniest Things Learned on TikTok + Gen Z vs Millennials34:01 – Myth or Truth: Trauma, Pronouns, and Owning Your Identity42:01 – Final Reflections: Movement, Mindset, and Moving Forward

We're celebrating Pride Month, and to kick us off, Amy and Brandi get real about the unfiltered, often uncomfortable truth of being LGBTQ+ in the workplace—where invisibility can feel safer than honesty, and “inclusion” doesn't always include you. In this 'best of' episode, they unpack the messy layers of LGBTQ+ identity at work—from pronoun politics and people-pleasing to being “the only one” in the room.

Phil, Kaitlyn, and Skye respond to questions from the listeners, including whether lay people should go to seminary, how important is attending a church after being hurt by one, and whether Christians should make violent video games. They also venture into theological topics like what pronouns are appropriate for God, what doctrines do we emphasize too much, and why they all think telling kids to “ask Jesus into your heart” is a bad idea. The crew also revisits the topic of Project 2025 and whether they regret their dismissive opinions about it from before the election. Also this week—Skye reveals plans for his new project with Holy Post Media, and one listener's question prompts Kaitlyn to make a big announcement.

Hopefully in the last couple of weeks you heard about the controversial Colorado bill that aimed to make misgendering someone a crime. The bill met fierce resistance from local pastors and Christian leaders, but ultimately was signed into law by the governor about a week ago. Even though it was stripped of its most controversial portion, a clause that would have categorized parents as abusive for misgendering their children, the law is still one of the most aggressive in the land.The woke isn't going away. Progressives have bet the house on radical gender ideology and are committed to making the lives of ordinary Christian families hell for as long as they can. Other Colorado bills such as House Bill 1309 mandate that health care providers cover every possible necessity for gender affirming care, a set of surgeries and treatments that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars per person. One way or another, they will try to take your kids, close your business, and bankrupt your state, even if they lose in the end.So today we're going to discuss who is pushing these draconian laws, what their real purpose is, and the clever ways Christians are fighting back.This episode is brought to you by our premier sponsors, Armored Republic and Reece Fund, as well as our Patreon members and donors.

[EP 25-203] I wake up daily with anticipation. First, I know that America has a real leader in place. Consider all that we have learned about Biden and it should leave you shaking your head at the very least. All the people who play a role in getting that clown elected in the 2020 election coup, then all of them who covered up for his mental and physical condition.Treason.I'm forced to look on the good side of this, as it led us back to Trump. And what a difference it makes.It must chap the butts of the Left to awake daily to Trump beatdowns. I've never been awaken with somebody doing ground-and-pound on me, but that has to be what it feels like for Leftists.I will give them credit for fighting hard, especially over so many bad ideas. I will fight to the death for my family, friends, and country. But to protect an MS-13 gang member?And you already know the other nonsense they fight for, like PRONOUNS!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kevin-jackson-show--2896352/support.

The long term consequences of Biden's policies are just now beginning to be realized. The left's ideological impact on foreign policy needs a closer look. Dreams tell us things, especially the bad ones. Sometimes there is a shut down after an arrest. Experts on Trump are now experts on tariffs. The CCP is behind it all. But who helped? Ukrainian nut bag runs amok. Hamas is all Israeli. The DEI runaround. Dispelling the myths. The logic of excluding small business from tariffs, but not the big guys. They need us, we don't need them. Staffing was done based on sexual preference, skin tone and gender. Congressional blather. They are planning something very dangerous, 911 level dangerous. Civil war is their desired outcome. False flag deep fakes to put the blame on MAGA. Gavin is taking California towards independence. Others are watching. South Korea impeachment crisis. Look for the girl with blue hair and a nose ring. Buying pot in the store and eggs on the street. It's time to start talking about how we connect. Trump's people are placed for a reason. You operate with electricity, and being around electronics has issues. Sad things are happening everywhere. Focus on your family and home, and stop being just a participant.

Do you know your blood type? Do you know why we have different blood types? This episode begins with some interesting intel about blood types, why you should know yours and why some people actually have no blood type. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20140715-why-do-we-have-blood-types You have probably heard about the value of validating someone else's feelings and experience. What you may not have heard is the science that proves just how powerful it is when you want to connect with someone or influence them. When done right, validation can transform a relationship according to my guest Caroline Fleck, PhD. She is a licensed psychologist, and Adjunct Clinical Instructor at Stanford University as well as the author of the book Validation: How the Skill Set That Revolutionized Psychology Will Transform Your Relationships, Increase Your Influence, and Change Your Life (https://amzn.to/3YgpzAK) Pronouns are some of the hardest working words in the English language. I, you, me, he, she, we, they – and yet the way these words behave in our language can sometimes be maddening. For example, the word “you” can mean 1 person or a group of people. In a lot of other languages, there are two different words. While English teachers will tell you that the correct way to say this is, “He and I went to the store” doesn't it feel more natural to say, “Him and me went to the store.”? Joining me to dive into the world of pronouns is John H. McWhorter. He teaches linguistics, American studies, and music history at Columbia University and is the host of the podcast Lexicon Valley (https://slate.com/podcasts/lexicon-valley). John is the author of twenty-three books including his latest, Pronoun Trouble: The Story of Us in Seven Little Words (https://amzn.to/4iSauh1) What should go on a resume?

John McWhorter, Columbia University linguistics professor, host of the Lexicon Valley podcast, opinion writer at The New York Times, and the author of Pronoun Trouble: The Story of Us in Seven Little Words (Avery, 2025), talks about his new book that digs into the cultural and linguistic history of pronoun usage in English and what light that sheds on today's controversies.

John McWhorter is one of the greatest living experts on the English language—and many others, too. He's an associate professor of linguistics at Columbia, a columnist at The New York Times, and he's an unsung Broadway aficionado. He once told us he could not do an interview because he was busy rehearsing a cabaret show for his bungalow colony. It all sounds like a scene out of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. But in his day job, he is thinking about words, language, and—the not-so-controversial topic of pronouns. John is a true independent mind. He has been one of the most outspoken critics of liberal excess—his last book was called Woke Racism: How a New Religion Has Betrayed Black America. But now? Now he's taking a position that we suspect will provoke the other side. In his new book, Pronoun Trouble: The Story of Us in Seven Little Words, John makes the provocative case that the English language evolves in ways that don't always make sense. But, he says, that's okay. And he takes it a step further—saying the wide adoption of they/them in the singular, instead of he/him or she/her, works. What are the stakes of these little words? For example, as a society, are we disrespecting women (and men) when we fail to acknowledge, in our language, who has dealt with the challenges of womanhood or manhood and who has not? And what are the consequences of letting children adopt they/them pronouns, especially if it pushes them toward medical transition? At the same time, how do we create a society that is kind and inclusive but also reflective of reality? And can we even have both? The broader context of this language conversation is about what can and cannot be said. We talk about this broader context—the state of the woke left, but also the rise of the woke right.
