In this episode of the Preacher Boys Podcast, host Eric Schwisinski sits down with Cara Meredith, author of Church Camp: Bad Skits, Cry Night, and How White Evangelicalism Betrayed a Generation. Together, they unpack the formative – and often fraught – world of evangelical church camps. Cara shares insights from her 30 years in camp ministry and her research, including interviews with dozens of former campers and staff across the U.S.The conversation explores the nostalgia and positive aspects of camp, as well as the darker threads: pressured conversions, purity culture, patriarchy, and the marginalization of women, LGBTQ individuals, and people of color. Cara and Eric discuss how church camp acts as a microcosm of white evangelicalism, often pushing conformity and suppressing individuality under the guise of faith formation. They also reflect on leadership, intent, and the importance of elevating marginalized voices within church spaces.Whether you have fond memories of camp or are re-examining its impact, this episode offers a nuanced look at the complexities, harms, and hopes for change in faith-based youth experiences.Timestamps:00:00 Intro and why church camp is worth discussing04:00 Who the book is for and why it was written07:30 Cara's history and experience in camp ministry10:30 The universal positives: fun, nature, and friendships13:45 The recurring negatives: shame, guilt, and pressured conversions17:30 Purity culture and its impact on campers20:00 The intentions of camp leaders vs. the reality of harm23:15 The business side of camp and conversion26:00 The role of nostalgia and critical reflection29:00 Conformity, identity, and the impact on marginalized groups33:30 “Cry night” and emotional manipulation36:00 Gender roles, patriarchy, and lack of women in leadership41:00 What would change if more women led camps?44:30 Elevating marginalized voices in faith spaces48:00 Reconciling good memories with the reality of harm51:00 Final thoughts and who the book is forSupport the Show:Patreon.com/PreacherBoys✖️✖️✖️If you or someone you know has experienced abuse, visit courage365.org/need-help✖️✖️✖️CONNECT WITH THE SHOW:preacherboyspodcast.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@PreacherBoyshttps://www.facebook.com/preacherboysdoc/https://twitter.com/preacherboysdochttps://www.instagram.com/preacherboyspodhttps://www.tiktok.com/@preacherboyspodTo connect with a community that shares the Preacher Boys Podcast's mission to expose abuse in the IFB, join the OFFICIAL Preacher Boys Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1403898676438188/✖️✖️✖️The content presented in this video is for informational and educational purposes only.

After she died, Tim finally learned how to be himself, without fear and self-loathing.Tim grew up under the thumb of his charismatic, pious mother.He went to a school with links to the controversial, secretive and conservative Catholic organisation, Opus Dei.There, he desperately tried to hide his sexuality, and was ruthlessly bullied for his musical and stage talents.Despite Tim's success in Australian opera, television, and in Hollywood blockbusters, he continued to harbour many secrets about himself and his family.One day his mother, who loved Tim deeply in her own way, and who was dying from ovarian cancer, convinced her only son to come with her to therapy. Instead of finally being able to talk about his struggles, Tim found himself being tricked into gay conversion therapy.For the last few months of his mother's life, he went to be hypnotised by a 'Catholic psychologist' every week, until eventually she died, and Tim was set free to learn how live by and for himself.Further informationThe Truth Will Set You Free: Growing up gay in Opus Dei is published by Hachette.You can stream the Four Corners report into schools with ties to Opus Dei, which features Tim, on ABC iview.The Pared Foundation's full responses to questions from Four Corners can be read here.Opus Dei Australia provided Four Corners with this statement.Find out more about the Conversations Live National Tour on the ABC website.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris and presented by Richard Fidler.

Despite not being a scientist herself, she and her co-founders identified a massive gap in the industry - while labs routinely test for identity (is echinacea actually present?), they often miss adulteration, dilution, and substitution.Key Topics Covered:Why standard identity testing isn't enough to catch food fraudThe difference between targeted vs. untargeted testing methodsReal examples of adulteration in honey, olive oil, spices, and supplementsHow economic pressures and supply chain disruptions create opportunities for fraudstersThe shocking reality that less than 1% of imported products are actually inspectedWhy "Product of Italy" doesn't guarantee authentic olive oilThe innovative QR-enabled certification system that educates consumers in real-timeSobering Statistics:Some botanical supplements contain over 80% maltodextrin filler instead of active ingredientsFood fraud has existed since ancient Rome and flourishes during economic uncertaintyMost labs focus on facility audits (GMP) rather than actual product testingThis conversation will change how you think about the products on grocery store shelves and highlights why consumers, brands, and retailers need to ask better questions about authenticity testing.

They start with a light-hearted banter that transitions into the deeper purpose of Christian living, stressing how Jesus' teachings from 2000 years ago are still relevant and necessary today.   These metaphors come from Matthew 5, where Jesus tells us, “You are the salt of the earth” and “You are the light of the world.” Jason explains that the Greek phrase for salt losing its saltiness literally means salt that “plays the fool” or loses its purpose. He delves into the science of pure salt (NACL), which doesn't lose its saltiness unless mixed with impurities—similar to how a disciple loses their ‘flavor' when their heart isn't pure. They talk about keeping the heart pure, ensuring our impact remains strong. Josh adds humor by discussing the phrase “stay salty,” shifting to a serious note on how to maintain our ‘saltiness' through purity. Using the Dead Sea salt analogy, they stress that impurities can corrupt our faith. Josh highlights fears of losing our spiritual flavor and reassures listeners using Greek terminology to emphasize remaining undiluted. The duo moves into genuine discipleship and the importance of ongoing self-assessment and transparency. Josh discusses Re:generation, a community for overcoming struggles like insecurity and pride, not just addiction, encouraging open sharing for spiritual growth. Jason quotes Romans 7, reminding listeners of our inherent need for Jesus and the weakness in our human nature. This converts to positive action: depending on Jesus to maintain our spiritual 'saltiness.' Josh illustrates the necessity of keeping our hearts and daily activities pure by humorously describing a youth pastor's lesson involving brownies with ‘a special ingredient,' underscoring the impact of even minor impurities. Another key point is that salt produces thirst, and Christian living should evoke curiosity in others. They stress the need for Christians to stand out positively to create spiritual thirst in non-believers. The conversation mentions concerning statistics about issues within the church, like divorce and addiction, indicating a need for Christians to live distinct lives that truly reflect Jesus. Wrapping up, they challenge listeners to pray bold prayers, asking God to reveal and purify any impurities. They emphasize the importance of being filled with the Holy Spirit to maintain their impact on the world. The episode ends on a motivational note, calling for revival and active spread of Jesus' light and teachings.

Intro:Good morning! We're diving into Proverbs chapter five today, as Glenn Power teaches. We'll confront a challenging, yet crucial, theme: the warnings about immorality and lust. While intense, these warnings and God's positive vision for sexuality are vital medicine for our souls in our "Summer of Wisdom" series.Scripture References: Proverbs 5:1-14, Proverbs 5:15-20, Proverbs 7:26, Proverbs 16:6, Matthew 5:27-29, John 4, 2 Samuel 11, Romans 5, 2 Peter 1Key Points:Proverbs' Urgent Warnings:Chapters 5-7 are almost entirely dedicated to warnings against immorality and lust.This feels like a "fear tactic" to modern ears, but Proverbs is not embarrassed to warn. It's the fear of the Lord (Proverbs 16:6), avoiding evil by understanding sin's devastating consequences.Jesus amplifies this: "If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out... better to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell" (Matthew 5:27-29). He goes to the heart, where lust begins.A Positive Vision for Sexuality:Proverbs also gives a positive vision for sex within marriage. Proverbs 5:15-20 graphically depicts the joy and pleasure of marital intimacy.God created sex as a beautiful gift within the marriage covenant.We need to move beyond shame; the problem isn't being "too sexual," but often not experiencing sexual fulfillment in God's intended way.The "Immoral Woman" in Modern Context:Proverbs' "immoral woman" represents a spirit of temptation (a profile of darkness) that pulls both men and women astray.Today, this "immoral woman" takes many forms, notably pornography, which statistics show is a pervasive struggle even among Christians and leaders. Proverbs 7:26: "Many are the victims she has brought down; her slain are a mighty throng."The Path to Freedom:Run to God, not from God, even in failure. Romans 5:8: "While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." God doesn't shame; He washes and loves.Embrace a Kingdom Gospel powerful enough to set you free. God gives us "everything we need for a godly life" (2 Peter 1:3). Don't settle for addiction.Overcome lust through daily connection with the Spirit: Prayer, Word study, fasting.Overcome lust through divine purpose: Idleness and boredom lead to sin (2 Samuel 11 – David and Bathsheba). God has a unique mission for you.Overcome lust through true intimacy with God: For singles, the highest pleasure is intimacy with the Creator. John 4: "Whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst... a spring of water welling up to eternal life." God's love satisfies deeply.Overcome lust through transparent relationships, self-control, self-imposed boundaries, and specialized support. If you've tried everything, get help!Conclusion:Sexual sin is deeply personal and can feel shameful, a padlock without a key. But God offers life, not death. In our deepest, darkest moments, He says, "I choose you. I love you. Come to me." Breaking sin's power isn't about bootstraps; it's through Him.Call to Action:Receive prayer today; breaking sin's power isn't done alone. When we open up and invite God's light, amazing things happen. Come to the table to remember Jesus' broken body and spilled blood—His ultimate price for our freedom. He gave His life so we could have life. Support the show*Summaries and transcripts are generated using AI. Please notify us if you find any errors.

As we listen to St. Isaac the Syrian in Homily Three his focus shifts from speaking of the necessary foundation to be laid in the spiritual life, purity of mind, to drawing us further to purity of heart. Purity of mind is established through the toils of the ascetic life, including vigils, fasting, prayer and meditation upon the scriptures, etc.  One's attraction to the life of virtue grows. However, Isaac warns us that as quickly as it is formed within us, it can be lost. A soul may allow into the mind a thought or image that once again stirs up the passions and what has been gained through much prayer and struggle is lost quickly. Purity of heart, however, is something that only emerges by the grace of God and His action in our lives. All that St. Isaac speaks of in the ascetic life continues. However, purity of heart, the purification of the “sense of senses” comes only by many afflictions, deprivations, separation from fellowship with the world, and deadness to all things. It is truly a dying to self and self will and abandoning oneself to God completely. This is the stumbling block for the majority of mankind, including many Christians. It is to embrace the Cross. One is no longer soiled by little things, nor dismayed by conflicts and struggles. What Isaac is suggesting here is that a soul begins to be fed on solid food indigestible to those who are weak. Such purity of heart comes through many afflictions and is acquired over a long period of time. One's focus becomes fixed upon the Beloved and he becomes the lens through which one views everything. Saint Isaac describes it as a state of limpid purity, of that natural innocence once lost.  To regain such a state is difficult living in a world surrounded by so many things that foster not knowledge of God but rather knowledge of many evil realities. There is only one path to this purity and that is simplicity – desiring the one thing necessary and shaping one's whole life around that reality. This is the immediate goal of the spiritual life as St. John Cassian teaches. We are to abandon what is small in order that we might find what is truly great. We are to spurn what is superfluous and without value in order to discover that “treasure hidden in the field”. We are to become dead to the world in order that we might not live unto death. Saint Isaac reminds us that martyrs are not only those who have accepted death for belief in Christ, but those who die for the sake of keeping his commandments. He does not varnish the gospel for us, but rather brings into clear view the necessity of loving Christ above all things, including our own lives. What the world needs is martyrs – those who bear witness to the very love of the kingdom. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:01:31 Fr.

In this in-depth conversation, Dr. Mike Belkowski reunites with Chris Burres, co-founder of SES Research and the original supplier of the carbon 60 (C60) used in the historic 2012 French longevity study where Wistar rats lived 90% longer than the control group. This episode centers around the rebranding of BioLight's C60 product to BioESS60, with an emphasis on scientific rigor, quality assurance, and consumer safety.   Chris and Dr. Mike unpack why the C60 supplement market has become compromised, how the name ESS60 (Elemental Safe Spheres) was created to separate quality-controlled, biologically safe carbon 60 from industrial or fraudulent versions, and what the latest science suggests about its mechanism of action inside the mitochondria.   Chris introduces the BOSS Theory — Buffering Oxidative Stress System — explaining how ESS60 functions as a selective antioxidant that targets negatively charged ROS without interfering with redox signaling. This distinguishes it from traditional antioxidants like vitamin C or E, which are non-selective and degrade after use. Chris compares ESS60 to a “molecular sponge” that protects the cell's internal “prairie” from the torrential stress “storms” of modern life.   Alongside that, the two discuss how ESS60 and methylene blue may have synergistic roles in mitochondrial optimization — MB enhances ATP production efficiency, while ESS60 buffers the resulting oxidative stress. The conversation also touches on the evolving understanding of nitric oxide (NO) signaling and how not all NO inhibition is necessarily harmful — especially when considering MB's selective inhibition of inducible NO synthase (iNOS).

Sharing is caring :)As always, light up your health! - Key Quotes: “ESS60 is a selective antioxidant — it buffers only the negatively charged reactive oxygen species that cause damage, while preserving the signaling functions of the others.” – Chris Burres   “Taking something in the morning and positively impacting sleep at night — that's not normal. But that's what people consistently report with ESS60.” – Chris Burres “The supplement industry is the Wild West. That's why we're creating separation between industrial-grade C60 and ultra-clean, biologically safe S60.” – Dr. Mike Belkowski - Key Points: 00:00 – Introduction: C60 vs. ESS60 and Mitochondrial Health Focus 01:17 – Guest Intro: Chris Burres and the 2012 Longevity Study 03:05 – Biohacking Conferences: Networking and New Tech Insights 05:36 – Nano Oxygen Bubbles: A Hyperbaric Alternative 17:35 – ESS60 Explained: Benefits and Mechanisms 30:06 – Buffering Oxidative Stress: The Boss Theory 44:41 – C60 vs. ESS60: Navigating the Supplement Market 48:43 – Exposing Fraud in the C60 Space: Safety Concerns 52:29 – The Switch to ESS60: Ensuring Consumer Safety 56:27 – Purity and Processing: Why ESS60 is Different 1:00:11 – Dosage and Long-Term Use of ESS60 1:06:19 – Cycling ESS60: Is It Necessary? 1:10:55 – ESS60 and Cancer: Preventative Potential 1:15:27 – Current Research: CRP Study and Future Directions 1:21:49 – Closing Thoughts: Integrity in Health and Wellness - Where to learn more from and about Chris Burres: Instagram LinkedInBook by Chris Burres:Living Longer and Better - Upcoming BioLight Events:   Returning to Nature (Quantum Health Retreat), June 26 - 27 (Franklin, TN) - Officially introducing......

The Trinity is one of the hardest doctrines to define and understand. What is not hard to understand is that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit work together in unity and they share a love for one another from eternity. Jesus doesn't ask us to be able to define the Trinity, although it's important to know that He is God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. But He does ask us to love one another. He does ask us to earnestly seek peace—to be unified. He asks us to follow His example and serve another

Episode SummaryIn the final episode of the Mind War series on the Satisfied program, Ryan Swanson tackles a difficult but crucial topic: desire. Is the struggle in our thought life something we must simply manage forever, or does God offer more? With biblical clarity and pastoral empathy, Ryan shares the hope that victory isn't just about saying “no”—it's about saying “yes” to Jesus, and discovering the peace of a transformed mind.Topics DiscussedThe distinction between temptation and desireCan God change your desires?Testimonies of men battling addiction and cravingIsaiah 26:3 and the key to perfect peaceReframing the battle: it's not a yes/no choice, it's a multiple choiceDesire, availability, and isolation in thought life strugglesWhy saying “yes” to Christ is the only path to victoryWhat David teaches us about longing in Psalm 63Encouragement to fight the battle, but aim for peaceKey TakeawaysThe goal of spiritual warfare isn't just a good fight—it's peace.Saying “no” to sin is not enough; victory comes by saying “yes” to Christ.God may want to do more than help you resist sin—He may want to change what you desire.Perfect peace is possible, not when you try harder, but when your mind is stayed on Christ.Your journey is not just about fighting gratification but about learning to be satisfied in Jesus.Ready to download the Cord App?

RERUN! We took a cute little break to have a very culty wedding weekend but couldn't leave the culties high and dry on content! This week we give you one of our favorite episodes from last season! Anyone who grew up evangelical Christian and/or plugged into teen celebrity news circa 2008 will be familiar with today's cult: Purity Rings. You know, the dainty piece of jewelry placed ritualistically on a teen girl's wedding finger to signify her vow of chastity until marriage, or else?? Purity rings are not just an accessory-they're a bonafide industry, complete with rules, ceremonies, secrets, veiled threats, and religious trauma up the wazoo... but are they a cult? This week, a very special (ex-evangelical) guest, @normalgossip's @mckinneykelsey, is joining host Amanda to unpack just that! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
