2025 Theme: “Community Engagement & the Grassroots of Change.” Throughout the year we have explored stories, strategies, and successes of community-driven movements making a difference. In our last show for 2025 we recap the year with our most inspiring episodes and introduce the theme for 2026. Throughout 2025 we have stimulating discussions between Anita, Mavis, and Gail. We have also had an awe-inspiring group of guests, handpicked to reflect the theme of community engagement and the grassroots of change. We honor our guests and the works they have done and continue to do in the name of transformation, empowerment, engagement across the multiple sectors of our society.Is It Possible to Build Trust in Community-Police Relations? Conversation with Shadae McDaniel Senior Vice President/Programs and Strategic Initiatives/Director, All Stars Project (ASP) of New Jersey.  Beginning in February we hosted an in-depth exploration of the All Stars-Project and its signature program "Operation Conversation Cops and Kids." Among many accolades, Shadae was ranked among the ROI-NJ “2023 Influencers: People of Color." NJUrbanNews.com Article: “Shadae McDaniel Builds Bridges, Provides Opportunities for Youth Through the Power of Performance.” Founded in 1981, All Stars Project (ASP) is a 501(c)3 national nonprofit that uses a performance-based approach to help tens of thousands of inner-city youths and their families create success in their lives. Operation Conversation: Cops & Kids (OCCK) is an innovative police–community relations model program run by ASP in partnership with the New York City Police Department (NYPD) and the Newark Police Division (NPD). This award-winning program uses performance, improvisation, and conversation to help inner-city teenagers and police officers build trust and improve their relationship.Until We Are All Free Movement, a human rights organization led by formerly incarcerated criminal justice experts. In March our case study focused on the Until We Are All Free Movement with guest Kevin Reese, Co-Founder/Co-Executive Director of UWAAF and Co-Founder/CEO of Until We Are All Free Consulting Group.Question: God, what is it that you're working on in my life? What do you do when the answer is build a bridge of people and be a bridge through and with people? Kevin is the answer. Kevin grew up in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He spent 14 years incarcerated inside of the criminal justice system. During that time, he founded the BRIDGE, a grassroots group of directly impacted criminal justice experts whose mission is to abolish mass incarceration and to find a path to true transformative criminal justice. Kevin says,“My idea was to create a program that builds a bridge between people like me, mostly men in prison but women, too, and the community. That bridge and this work is actually revolutionary. Because I'm not supposed to be able to make a connection to people on the outside. Prison is all about preventing that. But the BRIDGE partnership we've been working on gives light to an entire caste of people who are incarcerated.”Youth Empowerment Services, of Pittsburgh PA: “Ahead of its time and punching above its weight, Youth Enrichment Services (YES) formed in 1994...The heart of YES is a spirit of mentorship...By leveraging their unique skills and abilities and centering their voices, YES has created a formula for success that influences community growth, economic prosperity, and student-driven leadership." In our case study of the YES organization we invited Denise Jones, Educational Consultant at Youth Enrichment Services into the studio. Denise Jones is the daughter of two passion-driven educators. She attended Allegheny College, majored in Economics and minored in Black Studies. Later Denise applied for Teach for America and came to understand the joys and limitations of teaching, particularly in bureaucratic systems. Eventually she agreed to work at her father's community-based non-profit organization, Youth Enrichment Services (YES), to help young people become their own best resource. She is now pursuing a PhD in education and psychology from the University of Michigan.Ujamaa Collective, Pittsburgh PA: A Unique Cultural Enriching Experience! Ujamaa Collective is a 501(c)3 non-profit artisan boutique. We (Anita is a member!) serve Africana women providing cultural, artistic, and entrepreneurial exchange in the historic Hill District of Pittsburgh. Our passion for cooperatives is rooted in our values of Fair Trade, meaningful work, creativity, community, and wellness. Two  Sisters from the Ujamaa Collective shared their wisdom, community engagement practice, and the cooperation with our audiences — Lakeisha Wolf, Executive Director, and Alana Griffin, Ambassador. LaKeisha is a cultural worker, creative entrepreneur, and teaching artist with an emphasis on identity, racial justice, community connection, and whole-body wellness. She is a founding member of the Ujamaa Collective and has served as Executive Director since 2013. Alana lives out the organization's mission to empower Africana women through cooperative economics, cultural expression, and community healing. Economic Sovereignty in Burkina Faso: From Thomas Sankara to Ibrahim Traoré | Guest: Leontine Osuagwu. In this episode we dig into the role of sovereign psyche in leadership, particularly in the African nation of Burkina Faso under the past leadership of Thomas Sankara (1949-1987) and current leader, President Ibrahim Traoré.  The home country of our guest, Leontine Osuagwu, is Burkina Faso. With over 20 years of leadership experience across corporate, nonprofit, for-profit sectors, she helps leaders cultivate the mindset, strategy, and emotional intelligence to lead with excellence in creating sustainable impact. She's brings honor and soulful insight into the events unfolding in her home country.Mental Health, NAEP and Coach Bradley: A Unique Blend of Mentorship, Empathy, and Strategic Insight In His Work as a Transitional Life Coach. Coach Bradley specializes in guiding adolescents through the transition from high school to adulthood while also supporting adults navigating career changes and life pivots. Ed integrates emotional intelligence, active listening, and values-based goal setting to create a safe, supportive coaching environment. Whether preparing students for life's next step or helping adults embrace new opportunities, Ed equips people to create lasting, meaningful change. In a second episode featuring Coach Bradley he provided an understanding of NAEP (National Assessment of Educational Progress), explaining its purpose and how it differs from state tests, and the role it plays in systemic racism, accountability, and test-based reforms in education.Case Study ShiftWorks Community+Public Works | Guest: Sallyanne Kluz, Executive Director. Sallyann Kluz is a Pittsburgh-based arts administrator, architect, and urban designer whose practice is situated at the intersection of art and community development. Her practice includes public art programs and strategies, community engagement, design education, public space design, and neighborhood development strategies. In her leadership role, Sallyann is focused on providing technical assistance to artists and clients, and expanding the role of artists in community development, civic design, and community engagement.Why Community and Public Arts? Sally led us into a meaningful discussion pondering this question. The short answer is this: "Shiftworks Community+Public Arts envisions a region in which the creative practices of artists are fully engaged to collaboratively shape the public realm and catalyze community-led change." The work is designed to expand the range of possibilities for artists to engage communities. We applaud our guests who have made this year meaningful, insightful, and engaging!

What do you do when faith feels fake, heavy, or full of rules you can’t live up to? In today’s episode, Ash sits down with Kate Westwood, who opens up about her journey of moving from a place where questioning wasn’t allowed, to discovering that God invites us to wrestle, ask, and seek Him with honesty. Together they unpack the tension between “having enough faith” and trusting God’s will, the pressure of performance-driven Christianity, and the freedom that comes when you realise Jesus doesn’t demand blind belief—He wants relationship. This all leads into today’s verse, 1 John 3:16:“This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down His life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.” Kate’s honesty reminds us that God is big enough for our questions, gentle with our doubts, and faithful even when faith feels complicated.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Every night, join Father Joseph Matlak as he ends the day with prayer and reflection. In a few short minutes, and using the Douay-Rheims psalter for his reflections, Father Matlak guides you in prayer and shares a brief reflection and a thorough examination of conscience providing you with the encouragement necessary to go forward with peace and strength. ________________

Habakkuk was saying to God, “My country is in a mess! Why don't You do something about it?” If you are asking “Why, God?” about anything, you can identify with Habakkuk and profit from God's answer to him.

We dare not question God, putting him on trial, standing in judgment over him. Instead, we ought to humble ourselves and repent, relying on his mercy and grace, trusting that he knows far better than us, that our thinking is warped by sin, but that he is working all things together for good, as we trust place our faith in Jesus, and follow him.

Title: No Matter the Question, God IS the Answer! Scripture: Psalm 42 Speaker: Dr. Victor Borden Date: August 17, 2025 AM

"How Long, Oh Lord?" The Psalmists cry out to the Lord on a number of occasions wondering about the purposes of God on different occasions. Some of the language that they use might even be considered frowned upon in modern Christian circles. But shouldn't the word of God's example in the Psalms speak and perhaps even correct the way we pray in joy OR sorrow? With the three hosts united again, listen in and hear how we might allow or even disallow the questioning of God.Support the show

“Is it okay to question God?”It's a question most believers ask—silently, during heartbreak, disappointment, or even confusion. But is asking “why?” a sign of weak faith… or could it actually be a part of growing deeper in your relationship with God?In this episode, we talk honestly about what it means to question God: Is it disrespectful?What does the Bible say?How did people like Job, David, and even Jesus wrestle with God in hard moments?We don't shy away from doubt—we dig into it. Because sometimes, the path to stronger faith is paved with honest questions.

Pastor Josh looks at the book of Habakkuk.

In this episode of Ask the God Pod, we’re diving headfirst into a question so many of us carry but are often afraid to ask: Is it okay to question God? Maybe you’ve been told that doubt is dangerous or that wrestling with God is a sign of weak faith. But what if asking hard questions is actually part of growing a deeper, more intimate relationship with Him? Leanne opens up about her own struggles with faith, doubt, and getting real with God, and explores how the Bible is full of people—like David, Job, and even Jesus—who brought their raw, unfiltered questions to God. If you’ve ever felt guilty for questioning or wondered if you’re “doing faith wrong,” this episode will help you reframe doubt as an invitation to deeper connection—not distance.

Matthew 27:45-46 From noon until three in the afternoon darkness came over all the land.  46 About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli,[c] lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”) (NIV) 1. Choose to be real while still being reverent. Matthew 11:28-29  Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. (NLT) 1 Peter 5:5-9 - “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” 6 So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor. 7 Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you. 8 Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. 9 Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. (NLT) 2. Choose to rest in what you do understand as you wrestle with what you don’t understand yet. Isaiah 55:8-9 - “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. 9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. (NIV) Psalm 143:1, Lord, hear my prayer, listen to my cry for mercy; in your faithfulness and righteousness come to my relief (NIV) Psalm 143:5 I remember the days of long ago; I meditate on all your works and consider what your hands have done. (NIV) Psalm 119:68 - You are good and do only good. (NLT) 
 3. Choose ultimate over immediate. 

2 Corinthians 4:16-18 - Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.  17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. (NIV) Romans 8:18 -  I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. (NIV) Romans 8:28 -  And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[b] have been called according to his purpose. (NIV) 4. Choose to worship rather than worry. Psalm 142:1-2 I cry aloud to the Lord; I lift up my voice to the Lord for mercy. 2 I pour out before him my complaint; before him I tell my trouble. (NIV) Psalm 22:22-24 - “I will proclaim your name to my brothersand sisters. I will praise you among your assembled people. 23 Praise the Lord, all you who fear him! Honor him, all you descendants of Jacob! Show him reverence, all you descendants of Israel! 24 For he has not ignored or belittled the suffering of the needy. He has not turned his back on them, but has listened to their cries for help.” (NLT) Psalm 34:1-3 - I will praise the Lord no matter what happens. I will constantly speak of his glories and grace.[a] 2 I will boast of all his kindness to me. Let all who are discouraged take heart. 3 Let us praise the Lord together and exalt his name. (TLB) Hebrews 12:28-29. 'Since we are receiving a kingdom that is unshakable, let us be thankful and please God by worshipping him with holy fear and awe, 29 For our God is a devouring fire.' (NLT)

Here's a short, captivating podcast intro for Job 8 and 9: "Today, we dive deep into Job's debate with his friends as Bildad offers cold comfort and simplistic answers to Job's suffering.

In seasons of suffering, draw close to God for comfort and the answers you need.

In this episode of the Reformed Brotherhood Podcast, Tony Arsenal and Jesse Schwamb delve into the profound theological concept of God's immutability, or unchangeability. They discuss how this attribute is integral to understanding God's nature, the implications for His promises, and its grounding in scripture. The conversation also touches on the contrast between God's unchangeability and human volition, as well as the relationship between theology and philosophy. A must-listen for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the steadfast nature of God.

Why is Zechariah punished for questioning God when Mary asks the same question? Today we'll discuss this, that while on the surface these look like similar questions, they're very different at the heart of the question. https://longhollow.com/theforgottenjesuspodcastshownotes

Episode 159: Why Some Question God's Love Most of the listeners of Mavericks & Misfits would never theologically question God's love for humanity. Yet, even those who do not question the theology of His love can still wrestle with the degree of God's love for them personally. Can anything impact – by either increasing or decreasing – God's love for His children? This is no casual question. Much of what we experience in the Christian life is connected to how we receive the love of God for ourselves. The Apostle Paul taught on this topic in Romans 8, and in this episode we will walk through His words as He declares without apology, “No! Nothing can separate us from the covenantal love of the Father which is given to us in Christ!”

In our weeklong journey toward Easter, today is known as Maundy Thursday. This is a significant day in the life of Jesus, and so it's also a significant day for us as children of God. Yet  even as his children, we all have moments where we question whether or not he truly loves us. So today, may we be reminded of the depth of his love and the lengths he went to in order to restore a relationship with us.   Our Scripture for today comes from Romans 5:8, and today's worship is See The Light by Hillsong Worship.  -- Jesus' invitation in Matthew 11 to find real rest is for YOU.    First15's brand-new devotional book called Rhythms was written with you in mind.    Each day of this 28-day devotional invites you to break away from your normal rhythm of waking, eating, working, and sleeping to discover a spiritual rhythm that, when practiced, will lead you into a more vibrant, abundant life in every way that matters.   Jesus wasn't kidding when he said you can find rest in the midst of the craziness of life. He can give it to you, and Rhythms will guide you in that direction.   We'd love to send you a copy to say thanks for your donation of $25 or more today.   So please request your copy today at supportfirst15.org — and thank you for your donation to help create more content that helps more people connect with God each day!   https://first15.org/give/  https://first15.org/  

THE THESIS: It was never about Alex Jones. It was about you. The Party is tired of being questioned, they demand we obey. Since that has proven difficult to achieve, they are doing that against which George Orwell warned: they are disappearing not just questioners, but the knowledge required to be an informed skeptic: how can we debate Covid policy when people have been conned into believing we don't have immune systems? Can Americans have an honest debate about race when “whiteness” and its inherent, “original pseudo-sin”  is government policy? Not only is this a tyrannical act of mental abuse, it is distinctly ungodly.   THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES:  The Bible is filled with people questioning and even trying to debate God. Notice that neither God, The Father or the second member of The Trinity, Jesus Chist banned debate or went around punishing questioners. I found the references in the article helpful.  Is it Wrong to Question God?; God loves every questioner regardless of our motives in the question. Our questions to God should be asked with a respectful and humble attitude of faith. The ultimate answer to every life's question is found in Jesus Christ. THE NEWS & COMMENT: Just minutes after posting new footage of the NY Times good friend, Ray Epps yelling at people to go to the Capital, the Twitter account was deleted. I got the audio before Twitter zapped it. It's in the show, but I cannot link to it.  Oddly enough, I was planning to discuss how the government's social media publishers--remember: they are not platforms--are banning any promotion of a film about Alex Jones. This isn't a film by, Alex Jones, it's not a movie promoting Jones, nor does it attack him (or so I am led to believe). Still, all of The Party's social media publishers refused to let the producers advertise it . . . but, wait until the hilariously good news about that! [AUDIO] - Facebook, Google censor Alex Jones documentary; Flo Read spoke to director Alex Lee Moyer about the suppression of her film Alex Lee Moyer is an acclaimed documentary filmmaker whose films have appeared at Sundance and SWSX festivals. Her latest movie — made with independent production company Play Nice — is called Alex's War. It is an investigation of Alex Jones, but despite it only being on only out on pre-sale, she has already found that her attempts to market the film have been blocked by the social media giants because of the controversial subject matter. According to Play Nice, when the team first released the documentary trailer, they were blocked by Instagram from adding paid promotion of it. Even posts screenshotting a Washington Post article that mentioned Alex's War was rejected. They were informed they were being rejected to ‘protect our community.' Three times this week, important, relevant news has broken while I was recording the show. This time, just as I was going through The Party's banning of the name Alex Jones, the German government was finally forced to admit what everyone in the Podcast family knows: huge numbers of people are being injured by the mRNA injections.  Of course, The Party has obviously banned all mention of that in America using threats against peoples's careers and medical licenses.  The German government admits hundreds of thousands of people have had severe side effects following mRNA shots; The risk-benefit of the Covid vaccines is getting worse and worse and worse We all know that only Democrats get to question election integrity (because Mitch McConnell and Kevin Mccarthy are moral cowards, afraid to even ask the obvious questions). Things are now reaching a truly funny level of desperation from The Party. In the separate Country of Washington, the new Secretary of State who replaced “Republican” Kym Wyman, who has joined the Biden regime, is giving a presentation where he will predict what lies we are going to tell about the election. From his email to the media:  “Secretary of State Steve Hobbs, the Office of the Secretary of State Elections Division, and the University of Washington's Center for an Informed Public, will be hosting an in-person roundtable to discuss likely false narratives surrounding the 2022 elections in Washington state.” The “Center for an Informed Public” still pretends the injections stop transmission and infection; they still pretend Washington's dictator, Jay Inslee hasn't been twice caught lying about Cobvid deaths. That will make it easier for them to pretend elections there are safe and secure. How could I utter such a conspiracy theory? Because of things like this: How a napkin can be counted as a vote in Washington, and why election officials say it's secure John Solomon has a write-up on election integrity worth bookmarking:  21 reasons to distrust the 2020 elections PS: good thing illegals won't get to vote . . .  House Republicans Demand Answers on Reports of Federal Resources Used to Transport Illegal Immigrant Minors to Get Abortions; “This outrageous use of federal resources to transport minors across state lines for abortions or otherwise providing or facilitating abortions in DHS or HHS custody is a heinous act and must be stopped.” All of these very obvious acts of censorship by The Party caused me to ponder just how much has been disappeared from us. In the show, I go into great depth about how The Party has stolen from 90% of Americans any real understanding of the spiritual battle, which makes articles like this scary for people to read. And, it connect back to why my show is not allowed to advertise on Facebook: we talk about the things that are never to be discussed and ask questions not to be asked. I have severe disagreements with Alex Jones, buy seeing the mere mention of his name banned has caused me to decide I need to spend time listening to him. Because, something tells me, while I will still have major disagreements with him given my personal history, I will hear a man who is often spot-on about The Party.  The Demonic Origins of Planned Parenthood, Part I: A Darwinian Sex Cult The Demonic Origins of Planned Parenthood, Part II: Channeling Dark Spirits, Sacrificing Children See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
