Exercise is often framed as self-care, discipline, or proof that someone is “doing the right thing.” But for many people, exercise becomes tangled with shame, control, and self-worth. In this interview, Dr. Marianne Miller sits down with Dr. Lisa Folden, a weight-inclusive physical therapist and Health at Every Size ambassador, to explore how exercise shamefuels body image distress and disordered eating, even when it is disguised as wellness or health. Dr. Lisa shares her personal journey from overexercising, restriction, and rigid fitness rules to intuitive movement rooted in care rather than punishment. Together, they unpack how fitness culture, purity culture, and appearance-based health messaging teach people to judge their bodies and measure their worth through movement, weight, and discipline. This conversation reframes eating disorder recovery through a compassionate, weight-inclusive lens that separates exercise from morality and control. This episode is especially relevant for anyone struggling with eating disorders, chronic disordered eating, exercise guilt, or a painful relationship with movement. Content Caution This episode includes discussion of eating disorders, disordered eating behaviors, food restriction, binge eating patterns, overexercising, body image distress, weight stigma, and shame-based health messaging. Please listen in a way that feels supportive to you. Episode Overview In this conversation, Dr. Marianne and Dr. Lisa explore how exercise shame develops and why it is so deeply connected to body image and eating disorder recovery. Dr. Lisa explains how early experiences with discipline, structure, and purity culture shaped her relationship with food and exercise, reinforcing the belief that bodies must be controlled to be worthy. They discuss how fitness spaces often reward pain, consistency, and weight loss while ignoring mental health, accessibility, and individual needs. The episode also examines how intuitive movement becomes possible when exercise is no longer used to fix or punish the body. Dr. Lisa describes what shifted when she stopped exercising to change her body and began moving in ways that supported her nervous system, energy, and overall well-being. The conversation highlights how ableism and body size bias show up in gyms and wellness spaces, often through subtle judgments about who “belongs” and how bodies should move. Throughout the episode, Dr. Lisa emphasizes that exercise does not determine character and that body image healing requires separating movement from shame, worth, and identity. This reframing is central to sustainable eating disorder recovery and long-term healing. Why This Episode Matters Many people in eating disorder recovery were taught that exercising consistently meant they were good, disciplined, or successful, while rest or inconsistency meant failure. This episode challenges those beliefs and offers a more humane, evidence-informed approach to movement and self-care. It speaks directly to listeners who feel stuck in cycles of overexercising, restriction, binge eating, or chronic guilt around movement, and offers permission to relate to exercise in a way that supports healing rather than harm.

What happens when the person you love most goes quiet—not yelling, not fighting, just... gone?In this episode, Todd Creager addresses one of the most painful patterns in relationships: silent punishment. It's not always intentional. You've been hurt, so you pull back. You turn away. You go cold. It feels like self-protection, but to your partner, it feels like rejection.Todd shares the story of Ken and Terry, a couple stuck in a cycle where defensiveness led to withdrawal, and withdrawal led to loneliness. Terry stopped trying because Ken kept dismissing her feelings. Ken felt alone because Terry stopped reaching out. Both were protecting themselves—and both were suffering.The turning point? Terry did something small but significant. Instead of leaving the room during their next argument, she stayed. She sat on the couch with her back turned, still struggling, but physically present. That one act of silent presence—not silent treatment—opened the door for their first honest, soft moment in months.Todd explains why conflict doesn't always need to be solved through talking. Sometimes connection starts in the body. The silent cold shoulder feels like control. Silent presence feels like repair. When you stay in the room—not to punish, but to witness—you're telling your partner: I'm still here. I'm still open.This episode offers practical guidance on recognizing when you're withdrawing as punishment versus self-protection, and how to use non-verbal communication to repair your relationship. Todd walks you through what it looks like to let your body say "I'm still here" when your words can't.

Ending Well: A Pruning Deep Dive  This is week six of the Ending Well series, and we're talking about something a lot of us are living through in real time: pruning—the cutting away, the stripping back, and the strange mercy of God doing holy surgery on our lives at the end of a hard year. "Every branch that does bear fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit." – John 15:2 ⏱ Episode Timestamps 00:00 – Intro + Why open enrollment and health insurance feel like a bad rite of passage 03:00 – CrowdHealth: what it is, how it works, and why it's different from insurance 06:00 – Week six of Ending Well: why pruning is the theme of this year 09:30 – Defining "pruning," "fruit," "wilderness," and "discipline" (without the Christianese) 15:30 – John 15 and how Blake accidentally prayed for pruning this year 20:00 – Wilderness seasons: dry, slow, hidden growth, and deep dependence on God 25:30 – Seven "flavors" of pruning Blake walked through this year 30:00 – Loss and closed doors: when God rips things out of your hands 36:00 – Being forced to slow down or stop: "You can't heal on the battlefield that broke you" 41:00 – Loneliness, isolation, and when God clears the table so you can hear His voice 46:00 – Idols exposed: productivity, performance, and the golden statue God started tearing down 52:00 – When God prunes even good things (like the gym, routines, and rhythms you love) 57:00 – "Show me the purpose, Lord": praying for clarity in the middle of the mess 1:02:00 – How pruning makes you more like Jesus and prepares you for the "next level" 1:08:00 – Toy bins, clutter, and why fewer branches can mean more joy 1:12:00 – How to walk through pruning differently next time: slow down, surrender, obey faster 1:17:00 – Being honest with God instead of stuffing frustration and disappointment 1:21:00 – Why opening your Bible became survival, not a checkbox 1:25:00 – Friendship breakups as pruning: betrayal, loneliness, and healing with a limp 1:30:00 – Counting the fruit at the end of a brutal year What This Episode Is Really About In this deep dive, Blake unpacks pruning not as a punishment but as proof that God cares too much to leave you overgrown and exhausted. You'll hear about: How this year's pruning looked like: job pivots relational shifts homeschooling struggles closed doors and changed direction Why pruning is always connected to fruit, but not the kind the world celebrates Not achievement, numbers, or hustle But love, joy, peace, wisdom, humility (Galatians 5:22–23) The difference between: Punishment vs. discipline Chaos vs. God's clarifying love (Hebrews 12:6) Seven "flavors" of pruning Blake walked through: Loss of things she thought she needed Doors slamming shut at the last second Conviction and refinement in hidden places Being forced to slow down or stop entirely Loneliness and isolation when life got too loud Idols exposed—especially productivity and performance The trimming of even good things to make room for better Blake also shares how her prayer shifted from: "God, why are You doing this?" to "Show me the purpose, Lord." And how that shift opened the door to real trust, deeper Bible hunger, and new fruit she couldn't see while God was still hacking away at the branches.

Send us a textWhat if everything you've been taught to fear about the Last Judgment is backward? We take a fresh, practical look at A Course in Miracles, exploring how judgment isn't God condemning anyone but a healing of perception we undertake with Christ's help. Instead of punishment and dread, we talk about right evaluation: learning to distinguish what is worthy of us—love, peace, joining, forgiveness—from what is unworthy—fear, guilt, attack, and specialness. That shift dissolves the fear of judgment at its root and restores right-mindedness, where innocence and clarity feel natural.Together, we unpack why punishment never corrects the mind, how it secretly reinforces separation, and how to turn every trigger into a doorway to healing. You'll hear simple practices to use in real time: pause when you brace for consequences, ask for help to sort false from true, and notice how the body's energy field relaxes when you choose love. We also redefine “apocalypse” as a constructive division—an unveiling that gently separates reality from illusion. No divine wrath, no tallying of sins; just the mind preserving only what is good and releasing what was never real.As belief is withdrawn from miscreations, they lose their grip—and often vanish. Relationships shift, either transforming to match peace or naturally falling away when their lesson completes. You stop chasing pleasure in forms and start bringing joy to them, trusting guidance rather than forcing outcomes. By valuing only what's eternal, the exhausting swing between free will and imprisoned will ends. If you're ready to disown self-attack, welcome correction without fear, and experience the quiet strength of Christ vision in daily life, this deep dive will meet you where you are and invite you home to what you've always been.If this resonates, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review to help others find the show.

Kinsella on Liberty Podcast: Episode 479. Libertarian Nicholas Sinard asked me to field some questions about the referenced issues, so we did so. (Recorded Dec. 10, 2025.) https://youtu.be/DlbDlmuUPW0 Regarding our discussion of my previous comments about the definition of rights, and what rights are justified. As a definitional matter, a legal right is a legally enforceable claim to the exclusive use of a resource. As to what rights libertarians think are justified, I have discussed the idea that the only rights that are legitimate or just are those that the assertion of which cannot be coherently criticized. The reason is rooted in the logic of argumentation ethics and my estoppel defense of rights, e.g. society may justly punish those who have initiated force, in a manner proportionate to their initiation of force and to the consequences thereof, because they cannot coherently object to such punishment") Stephan Kinsella, "A Libertarian Theory of Punishment and Rights," in Legal Foundations of a Free Society (Houston, Texas: Papinian Press, 2023). See also chapters 6. Dialogical Arguments for Libertarian Rights, 7. Defending Argumentation Ethics: Reply to Murphy & Callahan, and 22. The Undeniable Morality of Capitalism, et pass.; and other writing such as KOL451 | Debating the Nature of Rights on The Rational Egoist (Michael Liebowitz) (from the transcript): [12:25–19:47] I think when people say that I have a right to X what they're really saying is if "I were to use force to defend my claim to this space" I can't be coherently criticized. In other words, my proposed use of force to defend this space, is just, is justified. Which is why it ties into what laws are justified. Because a law is just a social recognition, by your society—your local neighbors, the legal system—that they recognize your claim, and they're willing to endorse or support your use of force to defend yourself. So ultimately when we say there's a right, what we're saying is that if the legal system uses force to defend your claimed right, that use of force itself is justified. So this is a complicated way of saying what libertarians often say,  something like: it's either ballots or bullets. It always comes down to physical force in the end. So when you have a law, what you're saying is that the legal principle that we're that proposing—like defending my house, or my body from rape or murder—we're saying that if you were to use force to defend yourself, or if the legal system would do so in your name, then that would not be unjustified. And I think that's ultimately the claim. So what you're saying is ... the reason I call it a metanorm (( Rights as Metanorms; Rights and Morals as Intersecting Sets Not as Subset of Morals. )) is because ... Well, I distinguish between morality, and the justice of the legal system. So for example—and I think maybe Rand might agree with me on this, I'm not sure (( See, e.g, these tweets by Objectivist Michael Liebowitz, admitting that in some cases it might not only be moral to violate a right but immoral not to: 1, 2 ("Suppose a guy is driving with his son, and someone shoots up his car, badly wounding the son and taking out the tires. There is no one around, and he needs to get his son to a hospital. He sees an unattended parked car and steals it, getting his son the help he needs. That would be both virtuous and a crime."), 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ("The person who wouldn't steal a dollar to prevent his children from being tortured is the person who should face harsh moral judgment."), 8.  ))—but a simplistic view of morality, which most libertarians might have—and I don't mean to be critical by saying simplistic, because it's an attempt to distinguish between...  so most people would say that "you shouldn't do drugs" and therefore they're not opposed to a law outlawing drugs, because to their simplistic linear mind, if it's immoral, it should be made illegal. But if you have a kind of a more nuanced view of things, you understand that, well just because something is immoral, doesn't mean it should be illegal. That's the libertarian view—its like, okay, doing drugs, being a  drug addict might be immoral, it might be harmful to your life, but you're not violating someone's rights. So the government [the state] is not justified in outlawing it. So that's like a second level. So when you explain that to your normy person, then you might say, well that's because morality, or that's because rights violations are a subset of morality. So that's kind of a first approximation about how you explain to people why everything that's not that's immoral should not be illegal. It's because a rights violation should be illegal, but that's only a subset of immorality. But when you put it that way, the assumption is that every rights violation is immoral although not everything that's immoral is a rights violation right. And my personal view that I've I've come to adopt over the years is that's that's actually slightly incorrect. In other words it it's incorrect to say that everything that's a rights violation is necessarily immoral. And the reason is because I view rights as a metanorm. This is the view as a human being, living in society, who wants to have a moral view of matters and the way human Society should operate, what law would I favor as a justified law? So I would say that we should have a law that says you can't steal from people. But what that means is that it's justified if the legal system uses force to stop crime, or to stop theft. It's justified. Which which means that if someone is caught being a thief or a rapist or a murderer and they're punished or dealt with in a certain way, that response by the legal system, or by the victim using the legal system as its proxy—you can't criticize that itself an immoral action; it's justified. So to my mind the ultimate purpose of law, and to think about this, is to think about what's justified. But it doesn't mean it doesn't mean that every rights violation is necessarily immoral. And again, it's because when you classify the legal system's response to a crime as justified, what you're saying is, it doesn't violate the aggressor's rights if force is used against him. But it doesn't necessarily imply that what he did was immoral. So this is why my view is that we have to view rights violations not as a proper subset of immorality, but as its own set which is mostly overlapping with immorality. So I would say that 99% of all rights violations are actually immoral, just like I would say that it's immoral to be a dishonest person in general but I don't think that it's logically necessarily true. And the reason is because the purpose of morality is to guide man's conduct in his everyday affairs, but the purpose of political ethics is to tell us which legal system is justified. So that morm is aimed at determining which laws are just; it's not aimed at telling us how we should act on a day-to-day basis. So given a legal system,  which I think is a just legal system—let's say we have a legal system where which outlaws murder and theft and extortion and rape and robbery and all this kind of stuff—that doesn't necessarily mean that I am always immoral if I choose to violate someone's rights in that system. It probably is in most cases,  but I'm not sure it's logically the same thing. [Then the example of someone in the woods breaking into a cabin to save their baby's life.] Shownotes (Grok) Show Notes: Stephan Kinsella & Nicholas Sinard on Co-Ownership, Property Rights, and Related Issues (Full conversation – Parts 1 & 2 combined) Opening Summary and Defense of Co-Ownership (0:00–4:41) Kinsella summarizes his long-standing view: co-ownership of scarce resources is unproblematic and historically unquestioned. Property rights exist to avoid interpersonal conflict over rivalrous (scarce) resources; contracts can split the “bundle of rights” in ways that still prevent conflict. Examples: state-owned property is actually co-owned by taxpayers/victims; homesteading-by-proxy creates temporary co-ownership; wills can be structured to achieve the same result even if death technically ends the testator's existence. Hoppe, Easements, and Collective Homesteading (4:41–8:22) Sinard: critics are taking Hoppe too literally when he says “only one owner per resource.” Hoppe himself recognizes easements, servitudes, and even collective homesteading (e.g., a commonly used village path). Practical co-ownership (spouses, roommates, joint heirs) already works via contracts and arbitration/divorce/sale when conflict arises. Meta-Norms and the Duty to Avoid Conflict (8:22–9:53) Even when no perfect rule exists, parties still have a background duty to seek peaceful dispute resolution rather than immediate violence. Property rights are not self-enforcing; they presuppose arbitration. Compossibility and the Essentialist Project (9:53–13:18) Sinard is working on an “essentialist” test: a proposed property-rights rule is only justifiable if it is logically compossible (no built-in conflicts). Kinsella links this to Hoppe's and Hülsmann's emphasis on compossible rights. Do Critics Really Oppose the Substance or Just the Word? (11:43–17:50) Kinsella suspects the dispute is merely semantic: critics accept contractual arrangements that achieve the same result as co-ownership but refuse the label. Sinard thinks critics mistakenly believe Kinsella derives property rights from contract (rather than contract from prior property rights). Tangent on contractarianism, mutual recognition, and argumentation ethics: mutual respect for rights is a proto-agreement, but contracts remain downstream of property. Consent, Revocability, and the Guest/Tenant Distinction (31:42–36:04) Bare consent (dinner guest, kissing) is revocable at will.

What if the whole idea that your teen “must move out at 18” is one of the biggest parenting myths of our generation?In this episode, Greg and Rachel challenge the cultural belief that independence = separation. They explain why forcing teens into adult life at 18 isn't just unnecessary—it's often harmful, developmentally inappropriate, and rooted in a modern social experiment that has produced more loneliness, more mental illness, weaker families, and generations of underprepared young adults.Greg and Rachel reveal the truth: If your child will only become capable, confident, mature, and contributing after you kick them out… that's a parenting problem—not a launching strategy.Instead, they show how the teen years (16–25) are the prime window for deep mentoring, skill-building, emotional development, and world-class education. And that staying home longer—in a healthy, high-skill, high-expectation family—creates stronger adults, stronger marriages, and stronger generational wealth.You'll hear:Why the “18 equals adulthood” idea is culturally manufactured—not biologicalHow incomplete brain development (until 25!) radically changes how we should guide young adultsWhy independence begins at age 2, not 18… and how to train kids long before the teen yearsWhy most failure-to-launch cases come from lack of parenting skills, not lack of kid motivationIf you've ever wondered why today's teens struggle—or how to help your kids become confident, competent adults without pushing them out prematurely—this conversation will completely reframe your parenting vision.

Shownotes (Grok) Haman Nature Podcast – Show Notes Guest: Stephan Kinsella Host: Adam Haman Episode Topic: The Universal Principles of Liberty – A New Foundation for Free Societies   0:00 – Opening Banter & Liberland Passport Shenanigans Stephan shows up in casual clothes after taking a suit-and-tie selfie… for his upcoming Liberland passport photo   Only a libertarian would put on half a suit to pretend to be a government just to get a passport   Stephan is heading to Prague in December 2025 for the signing and announcement of the Liberland Constitution 1:04 – Who is Stephan Kinsella? Patent attorney turned leading anarchist legal theorist   Author of Against Intellectual Property and Legal Foundations of a Free Society   Recent Vegas trip with Adam: helicopter into the Grand Canyon, Venetian St. Mark's Square (tacky but awesome) 2:59 – Introducing “The Universal Principles of Liberty” (TUPoL) A one-page, elegant, civil-law-style statement of libertarian metanorms   Not a constitution, not a detailed legal code – a foundational layer that private legal systems can build upon   Voluntary opt-in document: you must explicitly sign on to be bound   Purpose: foster conflict-free interaction through reason, experience, and ethics – no state decree, no majority vote 5:09 – Origin Story: From Liberland → Bir Tawil → Universal Principles Stephan helped draft Liberland's early (still statist) constitution but was uneasy as an anarchist   Long history of libertarian startup-country projects (Seasteading, Atlantis, Prospera, etc.)   Max (FreeMax) approached Stephan about Bir Tawil (unclaimed land between Egypt & Sudan) and wanted principles instead of a state   Co-drafters: Hans-Hermann Hoppe, Alessandro Fusillo, David Dürr, Pat Tinsley 9:16 – Why This Document Now? Refinement of 30+ years of libertarian legal theory (Rothbard, Hoppe, Kinsella)   Earlier concise restatement now in the Libertarian Party platform (plank 2.1/2.2)   Goal: a short, uncontroversial, legally precise statement that any free society can point to 11:40 – Key Features & Definitions “Person” = any sentient being capable of moral agency (includes possible AGI/aliens, excludes animals)   Rights are exclusively property rights in scarce physical resources (no “right to life,” no IP)   Self-ownership is primary and inalienable (the Walter Block voluntary-slavery debate settled against alienability)   Body rights can only be forfeited by committing aggression (proportional punishment/restoration justified) 20:01 – Freedom is a Consequence, Not a Primary Right No need for enumerated positive rights (speech, religion, warm baths)   All legitimate freedoms flow from property rights in body and external resources 23:25 – Why Self-Ownership is Inalienable (and Walter Block is wrong) Body ownership arises from direct embodiment/control, not homesteading   You can abandon or sell homesteaded external resources; you cannot abandon “you”   Contracts are title transfers, not enforceable promises 29:12 – Punishment, Outlaws, and Estoppel Aggressors implicitly consent to proportional defensive/enforcement force   No need for prior signed contract with an outlaw – committing aggression waives the right to complain 34:26 – Weapons of Mass Destruction Clause (Article 8) Indiscriminate devices that cannot be aimed solely at aggressors are legitimately restrictable   Practical insurance/neighborhood covenants would handle most cases anyway 37:39 – Evidentiary Standards Borrowed from Tradition Severe remedies require heightened standards (e.g., beyond reasonable doubt, jury nullification rights)   Roman & common law are largely libertarian and will serve as starting points 40:41 – Select Unjust Laws & Aspirational Closing Explicitly lists taxation, IP, conscription, etc. as unjust   Beautiful final paragraph: “We bow to no state… no power on earth will stop us” (mostly written by Max) 42:47 – Why Law Must Develop Organically (Quote from Stephan's blog) Detailed armchair legal codes are premature and counterproductive   Law evolves case-by-case through real disputes, custom, and decentralized courts 47:58 – Deep Dive: “Selling Does Not Imply Ownership” & Misesian Dualism Crucial distinction between possession/control (causal/economic) and legal ownership (normative)   Robinson Crusoe has possession but no ownership   Labor/services are not ownable – employment contracts are conditional title transfers of money, not sales of “labor”   Confusing the two realms leads to the fallacious justification for intellectual property 1:06:20 – Free Will, Compatibilism, and Scientism In the causal realm there is no free will (no downward causation)   In the teleological realm of human action we unavoidably treat people as purposeful choosers   Stephan's “Misesian compatibilism” – both views are correct in their respective domains 1:16:53 – Closing & Future Plans Stephan will push to have TUPoL incorporated into the final Liberland Constitution (to the extent compatible)   Next big project: new comprehensive book on IP/copyright titled Copy This Book   Where to find everything: stephankinsella.com | Universal Principles of Liberty poster & text freely available Links   The Universal Principles of Liberty full text & poster: https://www.stephankinsella.com/principles/   Stephan's blog announcement: https://stephankinsella.com/2025/08/announcing-the-universal-principles-of-liberty/   Adam's original Substack post: https://hamannature.substack.com/p/kinsellas-legal-treatise-on-universal Enjoy the episode and go read (and sign!) the Universal Principles of Liberty! Transcript (Youtube/Grok): Haman Nature Interview: Stephan Kinsella on The Universal Principles of Liberty (Corrected transcript – spelling, punctuation, minor grammar, no paraphrasing. Long speaking blocks broken into ≤10-sentence paragraphs. Topical headers with timestamps added.) Opening Banter & Liberland Passport Story [0:00] Adam Haman: Intro. Welcoming author, attorney, world-traveler, and all-around great guy Stephan Kinsella! [0:00] Stephan Kinsella: You forgot your cue. I told you to ask me about my adventure this morning and putting on a suit and tie. [0:06] Adam: I thought that was off because you, sir, are not wearing a suit and tie anymore. [0:11] Stephan: I know. So it wasn't for you. You know how people—well, I don't want to mess my shirt up. I can reuse it now. You know how it's probably common knowledge now that ever since the Zoom era, a lot of people were telecommuting and so they would put on a shirt and tie but they were wearing shorts underneath, right? [0:37] Stephan: So I did something this morning and I was thinking only a libertarian would do this. I put on a suit and tie to take a photo of myself because I need a passport photo. But I don't need a regular passport photo. I need a photo that I can use for my Liberland passport because I'm going to Prague in December for the signing and announcement of the Liberland Constitution. Formal Introduction [1:04] Adam: Hello and welcome to Haman Nature. I am Adam Haman and that fine fellow fiddling with his pipe on a Houston morning is one Stephan Kinsella. How you doing, sir? [1:15] Stephan: I'm in fine fettle. You're fine fettle and a fine fellow. [1:22] Adam: For those of you who just woke up underneath a rock, Stephan Kinsella is a legal theorist, one of our best, and also the author of this highly influential book here,

Send us a textWhat happens to the gospel when eternal judgment gets edited out? We tackle that question head-on after a prominent voice claims hell isn't eternal. We don't chase controversy for its own sake; we chase clarity. The stakes are spiritual and practical: if sin ends in nonexistence, why did Christ bear wrath on the cross, and why should holiness matter now? Walking through Scripture, we show why “everlasting life” and “everlasting fire” carry the same weight, why the cross satisfies justice because of who Jesus is, and why finite rebels can't exhaust an infinite debt.We also talk about platforms and responsibility. Influence multiplies ideas, including bad ones. When public teachers move the goalposts on judgment, it doesn't change God's plan, but it does confuse hearts. That's where discipleship must rise. We outline a fuller way to share the gospel—naming not just that Jesus saves, but what he saves us from. We trace the logic of divine justice, explore the images of wailing and gnashing of teeth as ongoing defiance, and explain why annihilationism undercuts God's holiness, righteousness, and love.Throughout, we keep the tone pastoral and urgent. We grieve where we must and hold the line where Scripture speaks plainly. If you've wrestled with questions like “Does eternal punishment fit the crime?” or “How does the cross satisfy wrath?” you'll find careful answers rooted in the infinite worth of Christ and the coherence of biblical teaching. Join us as we aim for courage, clarity, and compassion—correcting error, strengthening faith, and calling the church to clear-eyed discipleship.If this conversation helped you think more clearly about justice, hell, and the cross, share it with a friend, subscribe for future episodes, and leave a review to help others find the show.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Send us a textWhat if softening judgment drains the cross of its power? We take aim at a growing trend: the instinct to escape—through pre‑trib rapture hopes or annihilationism that promises sin ends in sleep. Our argument is simple and sobering: if condemnation is not truly eternal, then the wrath Christ bore loses its moral necessity, and the gravity of sin evaporates into sentiment. That shift doesn't just alter a doctrine; it alters the gospel.Together we peel back the layers. First, we restore the gospel's order: law before grace. Without the weight of God's law, people never feel the debt of sin, and “accepting Jesus” becomes a slogan instead of surrender. Then we turn to Scripture's language. In places like Matthew 25, “everlasting” modifies both life and punishment. You can't stretch the word to promise endless joy while shrinking judgment into nonexistence. We also tackle proportional justice: Jesus speaks of greater and lesser punishments. If everyone ends in oblivion, those warnings collapse into noise.We press into the heart of the matter: death as separation, not cessation. Hell is facing God without a mediator, existing forever under wrath rather than favor. That's why the saying about Judas—better not to have been born—cuts so deep. If annihilation merely returns one to nonexistence, how is never existing worse? The coherence of Scripture, the holiness of God, and the necessity of Christ's atonement all point in the same direction: eternal life for those in him, eternal punishment for those who reject him.This isn't about cruelty; it's about clarity that makes mercy shine. When judgment is real, grace becomes amazing again.

Send us a textEternity is either the most sobering truth you'll ever face or the most convenient myth to ignore. We walk straight into that tension and ask hard questions about annihilationism, the meaning of “everlasting,” and why the Bible ties divine love and divine justice together without letting either one go. From Matthew 25 to John 5 and Daniel 12, we trace a consistent thread: all are raised, all are judged, and destinies are fixed—life or condemnation—with no purgatory and no postmortem appeals.We unpack how culture has turned hell into a punchline, and why that numbs our conscience. Then we rebuild from first principles: what resurrection means for both body and soul, why Jesus speaks of unquenched fire and an undying worm, and how a resurrected body can be “fitted” for eternity—either glory or gehenna. Along the way, we address the common objection that eternal punishment feels disproportionate, and we explain why minimizing judgment ultimately empties the cross of its gravity. If sin is light, Calvary is overkill; if the cross was necessary, then sin's end is deadly serious.We also explore the historical roots of annihilationism and why the view keeps resurfacing, even as it clashes with the plain reading of Scripture. The conversation stays practical: how should we preach, pray, and live if the stakes are truly eternal? Why does clarity on final judgment give urgency to evangelism and hope to the faithful? And how can we resist the drift toward soft theology by returning to the Word with humble discipline and open ears?If you found this conversation clarifying, share it with a friend, subscribe for more Bible‑centered episodes, and leave a review with the passage that most shaped your view of eternity.

Arkansas legally whipped prisoners until 1968. Today, U.S. officials celebrate images from El Salvador's concentration camp-style prisons while federal courts abandon “evolving standards of decency” for 1790s baselines. Yale Law Professor Judith Resnik, author of book Impermissible Punishments, talks to me about how prisons maintain structural ties to plantations and argues democratic governments cannot “set out to ruin people.” A urgent conversation about what we owe those we cage—and whether mass incarceration is collapsing under its own weight.

What Turns Her Off — and What Godly Husbands Do Instead Have you ever wished you could just…get inside your wife's heart for a moment? Not to manipulate, but to genuinely understand her. To love her in a way that makes her feel safe and wanted—not pressured or confused. My husband Darrow and I sat down to talk through something men rarely get honest insight about: Her biggest turn-offs. And not because we want to shame or scold—but because clarity brings freedom. When you finally understand what shuts her down, you also discover what opens her heart. So take a deep breath.You're not in trouble.You're learning—and that already makes you a good man. Let's walk through these turn-offs together, with God's kindness leading us all the way. 1. When Affection Feels Like a Transaction One of the most common complaints I hear from wives is this: "Every time he does something sweet, it feels like he's trying to get sex." A back rub, a coffee, a hand on her waist, a date night—beautiful gestures—become tainted when she senses they come with an expectation. When affection is only a bridge to the bedroom, she feels: Used Not loved for who she is Like her worth is tied to her sexual availability God never intended marital intimacy to be a negotiation.Love her without a scoreboard. Bless her without an agenda. 2. Grabbing, Pinching, or Smacking Her Body When She's Not Comfortable Yes…wives talk about this. And I know many husbands mean it playfully.But if she doesn't feel safe—emotionally, spiritually, or physically—this kind of touch feels like entitlement, not affection. Her body is not something to be "snatched."She needs room to open, not pressure to surrender. When she feels cherished—not grabbed—she wants to share her body freely. 3. Taking "Not Now" Personally If she says she's tired, overwhelmed, stressed, or simply "not right now," it's almost never about you. But when a husband interprets it as: Rejection Lack of desire "She doesn't love me" …it puts enormous emotional weight on her shoulders. Instead, respond with: "No worries, sweetheart. Another time would be wonderful." That confidence and peace will draw her toward you—not away. 4. Moping After She Says No Emotional sulking is not harmless. Moping communicates: "You disappointed me." "Now I have to punish you with sadness." "You're responsible for my emotions."   This shuts her heart down.Fast. Your steadiness and joy—even when she's not available—makes her feel safe. And safety is the soil where desire grows. 5. Punishing Her for Not Wanting Sex This is one of the deepest wounds wives carry. Punishments include: Silent treatment Withholding affection Moving to another room Being cold or distant Only being "nice" when you want intimacy These behaviors feel manipulative and honestly frightening. Your wife is not the enemy. She is the assignment God entrusted to you. Lead with love, not consequences. 6. Lack of Playfulness Playfulness is essential to intimacy. If everything feels heavy, serious, structured, pressured…then her nervous system never relaxes enough to enjoy being sensual. Silliness is holy ground for a woman's heart. Laughter lowers her guard.Playfulness creates connection. If you want her to be playful in the bedroom, she needs to experience playfulness outside the bedroom. 7. Not Feeling Emotionally Safe Women cannot separate emotional connection from physical intimacy. I'll say that one more time. Women cannot separate emotional connection from physical intimacy. When she feels emotionally unsafe, her body shuts down. Emotional Safety looks like: Listening Compassion Being slow to speak and quick to understand Responding gently Supporting her heart, not "fixing" immediately  When she feels heard, she opens. 8. Being a "Negative Nellie" (or Negative Ned!) Constant complaining is exhausting and not attractive. It pulls the atmosphere of the home downward and makes her feel like she has to carry your emotional weight. There is space to process hard things—but constant negativity drains the joy God wants in your marriage. Rejoice. Notice blessings. Bring hope into the home. 9. Bitterness and Resentment Long-term resentment is a marriage-killer. Bitterness communicates: "I haven't forgiven you." "You owe me." "I'm still keeping score." This is the opposite of Christlike love. Your wife cannot relax into intimacy with a man who holds her mistakes over her head. Forgiveness clears the ground for closeness to grow again. And if you need a little extra inspiration, let us turn you to Matthew 6:15 (NIV): "But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins." 10. Being Too Serious All the Time Intensity has a place—but not every moment. When a man is always stern, rigid, perfectionistic, spiritual-but-heavy…it makes her feel like she can never fully exhale. If she can't be herself around you, she won't be vulnerable with you. Joy is a fruit of the Spirit—not an optional extra. 11. Using Slang or Sexual Words She Doesn't Like Words matter. Some husbands use slang affectionately or playfully.Some wives love it.Others absolutely don't. If slang or sexual language makes her uncomfortable, embarrassed, or unsafe, it becomes a turn-off—not a turn-on. Honor her preferences. You're not losing freedom—you're gaining connection. Final Thoughts: So What Do You Do with All This? If reading this stirs conviction…good. Conviction is not condemnation.The enemy heaps shame.God invites repentance—and repentance leads to freedom. Your wife is God's daughter. And He entrusted her to you. Every shift you make toward loving her well brings you closer to His heart and closer to hers. We're rooting for you!   Blessing, The Delight Your Marriage Team   PS - If you want help walking this out in real life—not just head knowledge—that's exactly why our coaching and in-person training programs exist.

I also told her about our [IPT] program that same day. Up until then, I had said I was attending a men's bible study. All praise be to God."

The journey to Badr didn't begin with a battlefield. It began with small moments that tested the companions one by one. Some were told to return, others tried to stay hidden, and lessons were given on the road that shaped the mindset of the entire group. What seemed like a simple march became a series of decisions that revealed what each person carried in their heart. Meanwhile in Makkah, a sudden wave of news moved through the city and forced Quraysh to react. What they chose next set both sides on a path neither could step away from. Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan explains how these moments built the lead-up to Badr and why they changed the direction of the story. The clash hasn't begun yet, but the turning point is close.

Our entire philosophy at Personal Mastery Training is built on one radical idea: In order to achieve mastery, we cannot simply get through challenges. We must strategically seek to get something from them. We understand the seasons of nature perfectly. Spring is for growth. Summer is for harvest. Autumn is for beautiful decay and letting go. But then there is the fourth season: Winter. Winter shows up in our personal lives, and it often leads us to panic. It's not always cold outside, but it is freezing inside. It's the season of unexpected layoffs, financial downturns, health setbacks, profound loss, or a nagging creative block. It is that time when the lights dim, the external noise goes quiet, and we are forced into deep introspection. My Personal Winter I'm sharing this with you not from a place of theory, but from the trenches. 2025 has been a season of deep winters for me. Earlier this year, I lost my son to cancer. Recently, I lost a dear friend and co-host of the Alliance, Dr. Charlie Cartwright. I am in the deep winter. But this pain has become my motivation to share the philosophy of the seasons—wisdom I learned from the modern-day philosopher Jim Rohn—so that we can navigate these dark times together. The "Summer Mode" Trap The primary source of suffering during winter comes from the narratives we cling to. We are culturally conditioned to believe we should always be in "Summer Mode." Thanks to social media and FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out), we think we should always be growing, always achieving, and always producing a visible harvest. When winter hits, an unhelpful inner voice screams: "Why haven't I figured this out? Why am I not happy? I am failing because I have nothing to show." We try to manufacture a summer feeling. We fill our calendars and double down on external effort, even though our environment is screaming at us to stop. Winter is Not a Punishment; It's Preparation We have to accept the purpose of winter. It is not a punishment. It is a vital, non-negotiable phase of life. Think of a seed. It cannot grow until it is broken open in the dark, cold ground. The deep, transformative work of life happens in the dark. I love this wisdom: "We won't rise to the occasion when something happens; we will fall to the level of our preparation." My family and I are surviving this tragedy not because we are superhuman, but because previous winters prepared us. We are falling to our level of preparation. How to Navigate the Cold: Strategic Stillness If you are in a financial, mental, spiritual, or existential winter, how do you handle the stillness without falling into paralyzing stagnation? 1. Practice Essentialism Winter is the time to cut dead branches. In business, you consolidate resources. In life, you declutter. This season has forced me to become brutally non-negotiable about what I say "yes" to. Ask yourself: What foundational belief about myself is dying off so something stronger can take its place? 2. Turn Pain into Purpose Stagnation is avoidance. Productive stillness is intentionality. I could have gone "zero dark thirty" and hidden from the world after losing my son. Instead, we chose to turn pain into purpose. We raised $65,000 for a foundation in his name. We focused on helping others get healthy. The way I grieve is to be of service. 3. Set a Winter Intention Don't set a goal for an outcome (like "get a new job" or "be happy"). Set an intention for a skill. Example: "My intention is to learn how to sit with discomfort without seeking a destructive escape." The Power of Protective Habits In the summer, your habits are focused on output. In the winter, your habits must pivot to input and protection. Protect your time. Protect your energy. Prioritize rest. We have a toxic narrative that says, "I'm too busy to rest." You must replace that with: "Rest is my most productive activity right now." It is an act of proactive self-mastery. You are stocking your internal pantry for the coming spring. The Ultimate Gift of Winter If we leverage this season correctly, we gain two things we can never get from summer: Unshakable Resilience: Summer teaches you how to enjoy the harvest. Winter teaches you that you can survive when the field is barren. It teaches you that your worth is not tied to your productivity. Profound Self-Intimacy: In the quiet of winter, you finally hear your authentic voice. You stop worrying about who the world expects you to be and align with who you truly are. This Too Shall Pass It is always darkest before the dawn. If you are in the cold right now, know that the light will return. But don't just wait for it—utilize the dark. Let the pain change you. Let it be the incubator for your greatest future self. Don't just get through it. Get from it. To my son, and to Dr. Charlie Cartwright—one love. Peace, love, and a sprinkle of soul.

The Punishment of Sin in Hell The passage in Rom. 9:22 explicated, only so far as concerns the execution...that which makes God willing, by reason of sin, to execute this, is thereby to obtain a glory unto his power by shewing his wrath. So as that although he hath already shewn his power in creating the world at first, and upholding it by the word of his power, and other effects, that yet over and above, and besides all this, he takes the advantage of sin to shew, as the riches of his mercy in saving from sin, so the greatness of his power another way, namely, in destroying for sin.

Do you ever look around and think, “Why are teens today so fragile when life is easier than ever?”In this conversation, Greg and Rachel break down why so many young people are anxious, avoidant, and overwhelmed by normal life—and how to raise resilient teens who can actually handle hard things. They unpack the impact of comfort culture, overprotection, and screen-based living, then share practical ways to “microdose” and “macrodose” challenge through workouts, travel, projects, and real-life responsibility. You'll learn how to build holistic toughness—physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, social, and even financial—without shaming your kids or recreating the harshness of past generations.

These and all else you can imagine, are but shadows and similitudes (as I myself heard one upon the rack of terror of conscience cry out, in a like comparison, These are but metaphors to what I feel), and indeed unto what the thing itself is. As to say of heaven, there are rivers of pleasures, a city whereof the streets are of gold, the gates of pearl, and such like, they are but metaphorical descriptions; for it is God himself that is the fountain of life. And oppositely it is said of the wrath to come, that 'God is a consuming fire,

Interactions within a typical household often follow a "policing" model, grounded in rules, expectations, and a focus on shortcomings. The common messages tend to be “Do better” and “Be better.” In this episode from the 2025 Neurodiverse Love Conference Dr. Regan discusses how recognizing the neurological differences among household members can transform this policing culture into one that fosters creativity, innovation, and collaboration. This method promotes curiosity and problem-solving while reducing feelings of shame and blame. Such a shift encourages a strategy-based approach that helps each household member get their needs met as effectively as possible, while also understanding when their needs may not be fulfilled within the household and why. Bio: Dr. Theresa Regan, PhD, CAS is a neuropsychologist with over 30 years of experience in hospital settings, specializes in autism in adolescents and adults. As the founder and director of an Autism Diagnostic Clinic in central, Illinois she has conducted nearly 1,000 autism evaluations and has provided care to clients across multiple states. She is the author of the Understanding Autism book series, host of the Autism in the Adult podcast with over half a million downloads across 150 countries, and a developer of continuing education courses, including the Zur Institute Autism Certificate courses for professionals. A dedicated clinician and educator, Dr. Regan combines professional expertise with personal insight as the mother of an autistic young adult.

Stefan Molyneux explores the debate on corporal punishment, specifically spanking, within child-rearing practices. He examines the moral implications of using force against children compared to adults, arguing that while violence is morally unacceptable in adult interactions, society still permits spanking. Molyneux challenges the justification of corporal punishment by questioning the assumption that children are incapable of reason and drawing comparisons with mentally impaired individuals. He critiques the idea that spanking is a necessary preventive measure for worse behaviors, advocating instead for positive reinforcement models over negative consequences. This discussion highlights the detrimental effects of physical punishment on children's understanding of empathy and respect, ultimately calling for a reevaluation of disciplinary methods towards more compassionate approaches in parenting.SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

First off - if you're in town, join our meetup: Saturday, December 6 at The Warehouse on Charoen Krung Road. Check our Facebook page first before you come just to make sure there have been no last minute changes. In Part 2 of Greg and Ed's interview with John Schachnovsky, the former head of the FBI in Thailand, the men continue discussing John's varied responsibilities in the Land of Smiles, this time focusing on specific cases. John brings up the he played in the Asian Tsunami of 2004 and how the FBI used its technology to help identify myriad victims. John mentions that due to the close working relationship between the U.S. and Thai governments, the FBI would lend a helping hand (often one with advanced technology) anytime it could. Greg then brings up a very current issue - the horrible crimes being committed by cross border scam centers. John mentions that the issue was already hot for the FBI several years ago during his tenure. He emphasizes the unique complexity of such crimes - they involve multiple nations, honchos who themselves often come from other countries such as China, and lower level perpetrators who are themselves often victims of trafficking.  To wrap up, the guys get personal and discuss John's love of Thailand and his project getting his wife to agree to stay in the country permanently. Greg and Ed wouldn't know anything about that! Get John's book here!
