Podcasts about Punishment

Are you torn between protecting your kids' mental health and preparing them for real-world stress?Most parents feel this tension—and many swing too far toward pressure or protection. In this video, Greg & Rachel share a better path: don't inflict pressure—be the anchor while your kids face it. You'll learn how to build grit through trust, identity, and modeling, so challenge actually strengthens your bond instead of breaking it.What we cover:Identity over willpower: why saying “I'm not a smoker” beats “I'm trying to quit.”Anchor, don't apply pressure: your job is safety + modeling, not manufactured hardship.Results don't lie: how your life becomes the proof your kids can't ignore.Trust first, then stretch: push to the “next rock,” then keep your promise and carry them.Adjust your strategy: when you “get punched in the face,” learn, adapt, iterate.Do hard things yourself: kids spot hypocrisy—lead from the front.Make discomfort enjoyable: turn tough conversations, workouts, and cold plunges into shared wins.Big Idea: Grit grows in connection. When kids know you'll both challenge and carry them, they lean in, try again, and adopt a new identity that sustains lifelong habits.Key Takeaways✅ Be the anchor, not the pressure. Safety + example > force.✅ Model hard things. If you don't, they won't.✅ Identity drives habits. Become the family who does the hard, good things.✅ Keep promises. Stretch to the “next rock,” then carry—that's how trust is built.✅ Iterate, don't implode. When it's not working, change your approach, not your ideals.Chapters00:00 New Beginnings and Reflections03:18 Goal Setting and Identity Transformation03:31 Preparing Kids for Life's Challenges05:02 The Balance of Comfort and Growth05:30 Building Resilience Through Experience08:44 Adapting to Life's Punches09:59 The Journey of Parenting and Education12:19 Embracing Failure in Business and Parenting13:59 The Importance of Adaptability and Learning17:21 Influence Through Results and Personal Example19:32 Living an Extraordinary Life as a Family22:34 Teaching Resilience Through Real-Life Challenges24:58 Iterative Learning and Effective Communication28:39 The Power of Persistence in ParentingMemorable Quotes

Are you afraid to give something up—even if you know it's holding your family back?What if the “sacrifice” you're resisting is the exact bridge to the life you actually want?In this powerful conversation, Greg and Rachel answer a listener's question inspired by James Allen: “He who would attain highly must sacrifice greatly.” They share the real sacrifices they made to build an extraordinary family life—from walking away from comfort and conformity to investing tens of thousands into personal growth, ditching entertainment for education, and choosing experiences and character over stuff. You'll learn how to overcome the fear of loss, handle others' opinions, and trade short-term ease for long-term joy, health, and purpose.Big idea: It's hard to call it a “sacrifice” when what you get back is better than what you gave up. Bottom line: The most important investment you'll ever make is in yourself—and then in your spouse and kids.Key Takeaways:✅ Comfort is costly—trade it for purpose, health, and momentum.✅ Invest in yourself first, then your spouse and kids.✅ Entertainment steals growth; education multiplies it.✅ Ditch “peacock pageantry”—results beat credentials.✅ Own your outcomes—no blame, no excuses.✅ Failure ≠ final—it's fertilizer for your future.Chapters00:00 Daily Sacrifices for a Better Life23:14 Intentional Living and Personal Responsibility28:39 The Rewards of Sacrifice31:27 EFL YouTube Outro Full Updated.mp4Memorable Quotes

Send us a textPunishment might stop misbehavior in the moment, but it doesn't help kids learn better choices—and it often chips away at connection. In this episode, we'll look at a simple formula to help you find the right way of teaching and correcting that works for your family. You'll also learn three research-backed strategies that offer a better path than punishment or permissiveness: encouraging positive behavior, setting kids up for success, and seeing behavior as communication. These tools make discipline less of a struggle and more of a guide, leading to cooperation, growth, and stronger relationships.If you'd like to get the show notes for this episode, head to: https://leighgermann.com

Clark Nunnelly, Pastor at Fellowship Denver North Metro, joins Autumn to discuss the “meaning crisis” affecting the modern Western world. “The meaning crisis” refers to a cultural and philosophical condition in which many people experience a deep sense of disconnection, purposelessness, and confusion about what makes life meaningful. Christianity offers a purposeful life, given to us by God, ordered after Jesus, anchored in ancient wisdom and in loving community. Is this good news to a world filled with competing self-constructed frameworks of meaning?Resources mentioned in this episode:“The Absurdity of Life Without God” by William Lane CraigReasonable Faith, Third Edition: Christian Truth and Apologetics by William Lane CraigThe Brothers Karamozov by Fyodor DostoyevskyCrime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky

The virus causes its victims to suffer from a madness that causes each of them to think of themselves the sole possessor of truth. People can't get along and tear each other apart. Throughout Raskolnikov's imprisonment, Sonya comes to visit, sitting outside of his window where he can see her. One day, she manages to meet him outside. They sit and hold hands. Previously, Raskolnikov felt repulsed at such actions, but now he feels different. He feels collapses in tears and embraces her. They both realise that he truly loves her. They decide to wait out the remaining seven years of his sentence together. He starts to read a copy of The New Testament that he asked Sonya for. He feels at one with her. The narrator closes the novel by stating that what happened to Raskolnikov after his time in prison is the matter of a different story.SEO Stuff that I don't want to do lol...Welcome to this narration of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's masterpiece, bringing you another chapter of this incredible literary classic. In this literary fiction reading, we explore the depths of Russian literature as the a desperate young Russian man, Raskolnikov, plans the perfect crime - the murder of a despicable pawnbroker, an old woman who no one will mourn.

Are your kids' fights setting off your emotions—and the whole house?Most parents try to “fix” kids' behavior to feel better. In this video, Greg & Rachel flip the script: change your emotional state first, and your family dynamics follow. You'll learn how to stop masking (“trying to stay calm”) and start being emotionally authentic—so you model regulation your kids can actually imitate.We unpack practical tools to raise your family's emotional thermostat—even on low-sleep, low-food days: breathing exercises, light movement, gratitude micro-meditations, future journaling, and morning routines that shift your biochemistry fast. You'll discover why sleep and nutrition are foundational, how to process triggers and “memorized emotions,” and how to radiate steadiness kids naturally copy.Big idea: Nothing gets better until you do. When you upgrade your inner state, parenting gets easier, marriage gets warmer, and home feels safe again. This is how you cultivate a family culture of peace, courage, and joy—without pretending or suppressing.Try this today (1-minute reset): Stand tall, inhale 4, hold 4, exhale 6 (x6 rounds). Add one gratitude sentence and smile on purpose. Notice the shift—then go connect.Key Takeaways✅ Nothing gets better until you do — when you raise your state, your family follows.✅ Kids imitate without regulation — they copy your energy, good or bad.✅ Trying to “stay calm” is masking — practice authentic emotional expression.✅ Sleep & food drive mood — protect your physiology to parent better.✅ Quick resets work — breathing, movement, posture, and gratitude change your state fast.✅ Every family has an emotional thermostat — set yours higher on purpose.✅ Mentor, don't micromanage — see misbehavior as a cry for help and coach skills.Memorable Quote:

At his trial, Raskolnikov confessed to everything, establishing his guilt by explaining why Lizaveta was murdered and identifying the location of the stolen items. The examining magistrates and judges had difficulty in believing that Raskolnikov didn't know how much money was stolen, but the psychologists at the trial explained his ignorance as a symptom of his temporary insanity. The testimony of his friends, especially Razumikhin's and that of his landlady's helped Raskolnikov secure a lighter sentence. Porfiry Petrovich also kept his promise. 5 months after Raskolnikov's trial, he was sentenced to 8 years hard labour in Siberia. Sonya went with him while Dunya, Razumikhim, and Pulcheria Alexandrovna stays in St. Petersburg. Before leaving St. Petersburg, Raskolnikov realised that his mother was soon going to pass away. Two months later, Razumikhin and Dunya married. They attempted to keep the truth about Raskolnikov hidden from his mother, but she eventually became delirious and revealed her knowledge her her son's fate just before she died. Sonya serves as a link between the family and St. Petersburg and Raskolnikov in prison. She also lightens Raskolnikov's burden in the prison by befriending the authorities. Raskolnikov falls ill and spends some time in the hospital.

Do you feel good in your own home?Does your family culture feel like a safe, joyful refuge—or more like constant conflict and stress?Most parents spend 90% of their time fixing problems instead of preventing them. But what if the secret to a thriving home is in the things you never do?In this video, Greg and Rachel Denning—parents of 7 and family coaches—reveal the small but powerful “never-do's” that transformed their parenting and family culture. From eliminating sarcasm and insults, to saying no to video games, TV, and constant notifications, these intentional choices create a home environment where kids feel secure, confident, and deeply attached.They share why attachment—not punishment—prevents misbehavior, how harshness backfires, and why saying “no” to outside noise means saying “yes” to family connection.Raising kids is already hard enough. But by eliminating just a few destructive habits, you can dramatically reduce sibling rivalry, power struggles, and emotional distance in your home.

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're joined by Dr. Siggie Cohen — Child Development & Parenting Specialist — to talk all things discipline. The first thing we learned - discipline doesn't ACTUALLY mean punishment (and definitely not spanking). Dr. Siggie walks us through what discipline REALLY is, when it should begin (earlier than you think), and how to respond with clarity (not frustration) when your toddler tests the limits. We also get into how communication sets the tone for everything, a real-life example of disciplining a 5-year-old, and her thoughts on gentle parenting (+ how her approach differs).  Dr. Siggie leaves us with her biggest takeaways on raising disciplined, confident kids — and honestly, this one feels like a masterclass for anyone with toddlers or young kids!!!  LOVE YOU GUYS!

The narrator tells us that Sonya and Dunya bonded yesterday, when Dunya came to visit and ask questions about what Raskolnikov said to her. Raskolnikov tells Sonya that he has come to collect his crucifix, and jokes that he now has to bare his cross. Sonya has Raskolnikov say a prayer before he leaves. Raskolnikov starts walking towards the police station, dreading the humiliation of a confession. He takes a detour to the Haymarket, remembering Sonya's suggestion that he declare his guilt at a crossroads. While walking to his seeming doom, he takes in every detail of the city, taking particular notice of a misspelt sign, saying to himself that he will need to remember it in Siberia. At the Haymarket, he kisses the ground, but people start to laugh at him just before his public confession can escape his lips. He notices Sonya following him at a distance and feels a renewed conviction. At the police station, Raskolnikov has a friendly chat with Ilya Petrovich, "Gunpowder," who apologises to him for being suspicious of him. Ilya Petrovich mentions that a man called Svidrigailov was found dead that morning and too stunned to give a response, Raskolnikov leaves without confessing. He head out of the building, and downstairs sees Sonya, prompting him to go back up and see Ilya Petrovich again, and finally, in a strange state of mind, confesses.SEO Stuff that I don't want to do lol...Welcome to this narration of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's masterpiece, bringing you another chapter of this incredible literary classic.

Tackling something entirely new for Filmjitsu, Mike slaps Jay with the huge cinematic tortilla that is the 2019 documentary/mockumentary Wrinkles the Clown. And Jay, mouth full of water and brain full of contempt, does his best to keep himself together while discussing clown fear, parenting and Inuit folktales. This is a weird one for sure, but the guys return to their usual shenanigans while counting down their Bottom Five Punishments, a collection of bizarre, frequently upsetting, and often cruel diegetic disciplines that include being slapped with a VHS tape, cursed with inexplicable paralyzation and forced to eat... chocolate cake? If that's not enough, during a raucous round of Dueling Double Bills, Mike and Jay pay their respects to Robert Redford while pairing some of his movies with the likes of... Shakes the Clown. It's clowns and punishment this week, a three-ring cinema side-show served-up with a side of Greek auteurism and the discovery of a 1981 nexus of talent! Step right up, folks—because this episode again proves the harshest punishment is usually just hitting ‘play.'

Are you settling for a “make it work” marriage when you could build an extraordinary one?Most couples drift into survival mode—roommates, not lovers—because they've never seen an amazing marriage modeled… and no one taught them the skills. In this episode, Greg & Rachel Denning share how to raise your marriage standard, resolve conflict fast (the “anatomy of an argument”), and build a shared vision that turns everyday life into marital bliss—without pretending problems don't exist.Big idea: If you're not deliberately working on your marriage, you're automatically working on your divorce.You'll learn how to stop the same old fights, praise small efforts to reinforce positive change, schedule what matters (yes, intimacy!), and use the compound effect to transform your relationship. Whether things are tough or “fine,” these tools help you move from okay → incredible so your kids grow up with healthy models of love.What you'll learnRaise the standard: Why “make it work” is too low a target—and how high expectations create more happiness.Anatomy of an argument: Resolve conflicts quickly (not fake fixes) and stop weaponizing old grievances.Shared vision: Practical steps to get on the same page even if personalities and goals differ.Reinforce progress: Praise small attempts (date night invites, thoughtful gestures) so they happen more often.Schedule what matters: How planning creates space for connection & intimacy—instead of constant friction.Compound effect: The habits you invest in today build your legacy tomorrow.Key Takeaways✅ If you aren't intentionally improving your marriage, you're unintentionally degrading it.✅ High standards produce higher joy and better outcomes.✅ Conflict ≠ contention—you can disagree respectfully and resolve fast.✅ Model love for your kids by prioritizing the relationship at home.✅ Small, consistent actions compound into an extraordinary marriage.Chapters00:00 The Importance of Marriage02:56 From Mediocre to Extraordinary05:53 Setting High Expectations for Marriage08:25 Conflict Resolution in Marriage11:51 Self-Sabotage in Relationships16:43 Creating Mental Space for Intimacy18:16 The Importance of Retreats for Couples18:49 Investing in Marriage: The Compounding Effect20:28 Breaking Generational Patterns in Relationships22:17 Creating a Shared Vision for the Future22:44 Raising the Standard in Marriage24:36 The Role of Coaching in Relationship Growth27:04 The Value of Investing in Your MarriageMemorable Quotes

Common knowledge is necessary for coordination, for making arbitrary but complementary choices like driving on the right, using paper currency, and coalescing behind a political leader or movement. It's also necessary for social coordination. Humans have a sixth sense for common knowledge, and we create it with signals like laughter, tears, blushing, eye contact, and blunt speech. But people also go to great lengths to avoid common knowledge—to ensure that even if everyone knows something, they can't know that everyone else knows they know it. And so we get rituals like benign hypocrisy, veiled bribes and threats, sexual innuendo, and pretending not to see the elephant in the room. Pinker shows how the hidden logic of common knowledge can make sense of many of life's enigmas: financial bubbles and crashes, revolutions that come out of nowhere, the posturing and pretense of diplomacy, the eruption of social media shaming mobs and academic cancel culture, the awkwardness of a first date. Steven Pinker is the Johnstone Professor of Psychology at Harvard University. He is an elected member of the National Academy of Sciences, a two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist, and one of Time's “100 Most Influential People in the World Today.” He has won many prizes for his teaching, his research on language, cognition, and social relations, and his twelve books. His new book is When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows: Common Knowledge and the Mysteries of Money, Power, and Everyday Life.

Is the “nuclear family” actually traditional—or even healthy—for your kids and marriage?In this conversation, Greg & Rachel challenge a BIG cultural myth: the nuclear family (mom + dad + kids, all on their own) isn't historically normal—and it's often unhealthy and lonely in today's hyper-digital world. Instead, they unpack what families did for most of human history—intergenerational, community-based, “tribal” living—and how ordinary parents can start moving that direction without selling everything or going off-grid.You'll learn how to question handed-down narratives, re-design work, school, and home life, and flip the ratio so your family spends more time together than apart—building skills, wealth, and resilience as a team.Highlights you'll hear:Why isolation (9–5 + separate schools + separate lives) isn't “traditional”—it's recent.How multigenerational & community living builds real support, mental health, and generational wealth.Simple first steps: shared meals, home projects, family business ideas, skill-building, and flexible work.The future of family in the age of AI: double down on what only humans do—connection, empathy, creativity.A practical reframe: “What would have to be true for us to live, learn, and work together more?”If you're tired of doing family alone, this episode shows a realistic path toward tribe-style living—whether you're in a city apartment, suburban neighborhood, or a budding homestead. You don't need to move tomorrow; you just need to start asking better questions today.Key Takeaways✅ The nuclear family is modern, not “traditional.”✅ Community > isolation for happiness, mental health, and stability.✅ Shared work/learning = faster maturity, marketable skills, and generational wealth.✅ Design life on purpose: meals together, family projects, aligned work/school choices.✅ AI future = be more human: build in-person connection and a supportive tribe.Chapters00:00 Questioning Conventional Family Norms02:53 The Evolution of Family Structures05:48 The Importance of Community and Connection08:28 Exploring Unconventional Lifestyles11:23 Redefining Family Dynamics14:01 The Future of Family Life16:35 Creating a Supportive Family Environment19:48 Building Generational Wealth Together22:30 Embracing Change and New Possibilities25:12 Living Life on Your Own Terms28:18 The Role of Technology in Family Life31:06 Designing Your Ideal Family LifeMemorable Quotes

From Hollywood drama to hip-hop debates, we break it all down with our signature mix of insight and laughs. We kick things off with late-night TV chaos as Jimmy Kimmel faces an indefinite ban and the internet reacts. Then, we shift into music world buzz—Cardi B drops both a pregnancy announcement and album news, leaving fans in a frenzy. We dicussed Pretty Punishment, and dived into the Saweetie conversation—when image, beauty, and public perception collide, who really pays the price? We unpack how culture rewards and penalizes in the same breath. In Olodo of the Week, Dame Dash takes center stage with his latest antics. And for Care for the Culture, we highlight an inspiring initiative from Senegal—schools designed specifically to prepare husbands, rethinking what partnership and responsibility can look like. It's a packed episode full of culture, critique, and conversation—tune in and join the debate.

Send us a textParents, this one is big.Today we're breaking down punishment vs discipline, what science says, how it impacts your child's brain, and why so many of us feel stuck in the cycle of punishing even when we don't want to.If you've ever thought, “I don't want to yell, spank, or threaten…but it just slips out when I'm overwhelmed,” you are not alone.Here's what you'll learn today:What studies reveal about how spanking and harsh discipline change the way your child's brain processes fear, mistakes, and emotions.Why your nervous system is the most powerful discipline tool you have.A simple framework from Dr. Lori Desautels' book Connections Over Compliance that helps you “connect before you correct.”And if you're ready to go deeper, join us inside The Reflective Parent Club. That's where we take this science and make it real in our daily lives, with support, tools, and a community of parents walking this same journey.Because when you regulate, connect, and guide, you're not just shaping behaviour. You're shaping the brain.Articles:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33835477/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36152947/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34197808/Read blog post:https://curiousneuron.com/2025/09/20/science-of-punishment-vs-discipline-how-parenting-shapes-your-childs-brain/Podcast episode with Dr. Bruce Perry:https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/reflective-parenting-by-curious-neuron/id1440533170?i=1000596000285Support the showRecord your message to ask a question, share an insight or give us some feedback! https://www.speakpipe.com/ReflectiveParentingPodcast Learn how to become a Reflective Parent!

This segment unearths the deeply disturbing legacy of a prominent Christian leader whose authoritarian parenting advice and regressive family models directly fueled modern Christian nationalism. From advocating physical child discipline to igniting the Satanic Panic, his teachings exemplify how religious authority can morph into widespread societal harm. We scrutinize whether religion, as a perceived "tool," can truly be beneficial when its applications enable such demonstrable abuse. The discussion tackles the difficult ethical questions of confronting harmful legacies without simply dismissing critiques as anti-religious bias, and navigating reactions to the passing of influential yet destructive figures. It's a stark reminder of how spiritual strongmen, often claiming to "save the children," can inflict generational trauma by weaponizing faith to control minds, families, and ultimately, entire nations.News Source: The Dark Legacy Of James Dobson: A Reflection On Influence By Henry Karlson for SmartNews August 25, 2025 

Derek Rishmawy, Alastair Roberts, and Brad East explore the theological significance of the tabernacle and temple in the Old Testament, discussing their roles as divine dwellings, their relationship to Israel's kingship, and their implications for understanding God's presence among His people. The conversation also looks into the destruction and rebuilding of the temple, the church as the new temple, and the counter-temple polemic in the New Testament, ultimately reflecting on how these themes shape our understanding of God's dwelling with humanity.

True Crime Tuesday Presents Crime And Unusual Punishment: The Psychological Realities Of Federal Prison w/Former Psychologist/Author, Paul Smith! Paul Smith was a clinical psychologist sentenced to 51 months for healthcare fraud and in his new book, confronts the harsh realities of federal prison. Incarcerated amid the chaos of the COVID pandemic, he endured a relentless odyssey through eight different prison facilities, caught in a near-perpetual cycle of transfer. Through his expert lens, CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT: A Memoir of the Psychological Realities of Federal Prison unveils the stark truth of an uncivilized, harsh, and insane system that erodes the very essence of humanity. The author reveals a grim truth: extended exposure to the cruel environment of prison—crafted by government policy and the ruthless prisoner code—strips away humanity, pushing individuals toward savagery. Drawing from his own struggle to preserve his sense of self and the hard-earned wisdom of those who survived years of confinement, he offers a raw, introspective exploration of survival under psychological siege. On today's episode, we sit down with Paul and talk to him about the psychological effects of the prison system on the average inmate, whether every inmate is redeemable, and changing over the prison system from a punitive system to a truly reformative one and what model should be used as an example. We also relive Paul's story and recall the pitfalls that led to his downfall... PLUS DUMB CRIMES/STUPID CRIMINALS WITH JESSICA FREEBURG!
