Dupre shares insights from his faith journey and highlights the importance of effective leadership in achieving sustainable change. This blog post delves into key takeaways from their discussion, offering valuable lessons for anyone looking to lead effectively.Understanding the ForgePoint ConceptRandall Dupre's ministry, ForgePoint, serves as a metaphor for transformation. He explains that a forge point is a pivotal moment where the right conditions come together, allowing for significant change. Just as metal is transformed in a forge, individuals and organizations can experience profound change when they embrace the right mindset and practices.A Journey of Faith and TransformationDupre's journey began at 15 when he accepted Jesus Christ as his savior. Raised in a family with mixed religious backgrounds, his faith was not cultivated until he encountered a youth group that sparked his spiritual awakening. This experience ignited a passion for scripture and a desire to understand leadership through a faith-based lens. Dupre emphasizes the importance of personal transformation as a precursor to leading others effectively.The Importance of Leadership in Organizational ChangeThroughout his career in various manufacturing companies, Dupre observed that many transformation efforts failed due to a lack of effective leadership. He stresses that successful change is not merely about implementing tools or processes; it requires a culture of leadership that supports and sustains those changes. For instance, during his time at Boeing, a consulting firm highlighted that their organization was not ready for transformation due to cultural deficiencies. This revelation was a turning point for Dupre, leading him to focus on the intersection of leadership and faith.Key Leadership PrinciplesDupre draws inspiration from John Maxwell, who articulates that the best leaders embody principles demonstrated by Jesus. He believes that effective leadership begins with self-leadership, a concept he illustrates through personal anecdotes. Whether it's striving for personal goals or fostering a healthy organizational culture, leaders must set standards and hold themselves accountable. Dupre's belief is that where there are no standards, there can be no continuous improvement, echoing the principles of Kaizen in lean practices.Real-World Application: Case Study from BoeingRandall shares a significant experience from his tenure at Boeing, where he was tasked with leading a transformational change initiative. Despite hiring a prestigious consulting firm, the team discovered that without the right cultural foundation, their efforts would be futile. This scenario underscored the critical role of leadership in creating a conducive environment for change. Dupre's insights from this experience highlight

In July 1545, King Henry VIII watched from Southsea Castle on England's south coast as his fleet sailed out to face the French - only to witness his prized warship, the Mary Rose, sink before his eyes. Raised from the Solent in 1982, the ship is now the centrepiece of the Mary Rose Museum, along with thousands more artefacts that were recovered from the seabed. But keeping the 500-year-old ship and its associated Tudor relics in good condition is no small task, which is where Dr Eleanor Schofield comes in. As Director of Collections at the Mary Rose Trust and a materials engineer by training, Eleanor has spent years tackling the unique scientific challenges of conserving centuries-old wood and metal. From the United States to Portsmouth, Eleanor's research is helping ensure this iconic vessel remains 'ship-shape' for generations to come. In a special edition of The Life Scientific, recorded in front of an audience at the museum in Portsmouth's Historic Dockyards, Professor Jim Al-Khalili discovers how cutting-edge science is keeping history afloat.

Raised in Beverly Hills with a film director father, Madeline Stuart made her way into design working for up-and-coming screenwriters and actors. While the movies have played an enormous part in Stuart's career, her work has the depth of a novel—carefully studied, richly textured, and endlessly layered. Her firm has been featured on Elle Decor's A-List and the AD100, won numerous awards, and her work is regularly featured in top publications around the world.  On this episode of the podcast, she speaks with host Dennis Scully about what she calls "scavenger decorating," the highs and lows of working with celebrities, and how she learned to walk away from bad clients—as quickly as possible.This episode is sponsored by Ernesta and SixpennyLINKSMadeline StuartDennis ScullyBusiness of Home

Erik Larson, President and CEO of New Covenant Missions, joins the conversation to share how God invited him to leave a stable, successful career in the restaurant industry for a life shaped by obedience and global missions. Raised in a Christian home, Erik experienced seasons of both closeness and distance from Christ before God used disruption, restlessness, and a growing burden for the unreached to redirect his life. What began as contentment in business-as-mission work became a holy invitation to trust God beyond security, leading Erik and his family into indigenous missions across Africa. Through New Covenant Missions, Erik now works to equip and support local church planters who are best positioned to reach their own communities with the gospel. He explains why empowering indigenous leaders, adapting to local cultures, and prioritizing disciple-making are central to sustainable Kingdom impact. The conversation highlights God's work in some of the most difficult and overlooked places, along with the patience, humility, and discernment required to steward resources wisely and faithfully. Listen to this episode to reflect on how God may be inviting you to say yes, trust Him deeply, and join His work beyond your comfort. Major Topics Include: Invitation versus obligation in God's calling A unique approach for each culture Contrasting discipleship-making and Church-planting movements Working with “Pauls” and “Timothys” Opening hearts through physical needs The balance of missions and charity The blessing and challenge of a communal mindset Emerging strategies in missions Partnering for Global Impact Getting ready for the Holy Spirit's move QUOTES TO REMEMBER “God radically disturbed my life.” “The biggest injustice in the world is that there are still people living out there who have no access to Jesus, and we've got to change that.” “I felt God say, ‘We're going to raise up multitudes of indigenous leaders to reach the nations.'” “The people best positioned to reach their communities are the people who already live there.” “What we really want to do is find the people that already have the heart and the passion for the Great Commission and then be the gasoline to their fire.” “We're not there to build something for them. We're there to empower what God is already doing through them.” “I like to say they're born pregnant. As soon as they become believers, we're training them to make disciples.” “Mission is making disciples who make disciples, not just doing good things in the name of Christ.” “I believe at the route we're going now that by 2050, we could see a church in every village of the world and no unreached people left.” “When the Holy Spirit decides to move, it can be the hardest place in the world, and suddenly everything changes.” “God is doing all the work anyway. We just get invited to join Him.” “Just say yes, and God does the rest.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW New Covenant Missions Every Home for Christ Joshua Project (see our interview with Director, Dan Scribner) Jesus Film Project (see our interview with Executive Director Josh Newell) Finishing the Task (see our interview with FTT Global Church Planting Strategist Dan Hitzhusen) ACHIEVE Alliance BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW Acts 16:9 | Macedonian Call   And a vision appeared to Paul in the night, a man of Macedonia was standing there, urging him and saying, ‘Come over to Macedonia and help us.'   Matthew 28:19–20 | The Great Commission   Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!Raised in a household grounded in logic and practicality, Chris Sutton grew up believing spirits and ghosts were nothing more than imagination. The paranormal simply didn't fit into his understanding of the world. That certainty held firm—until life itself began to unravel.As an adult, Chris found himself buried beneath career pressure, emotional exhaustion, and a constant atmosphere of negativity. Depression took hold, forcing him to confront questions he had long avoided. Therapy became the first step toward healing, but it wasn't the last. Along the way, Chris was drawn to shamanic traditions—practices focused on balance, connection, and understanding unseen influences that shape human experience.What began as personal healing soon took an unexpected turn. Chris found himself being asked to assist in paranormal investigations, not as a skeptic, but as someone capable of sensing, interpreting, and resolving spiritual unrest. Families tormented by unexplained activity turned to him for help, and Chris stepped into a role he never imagined for himself.#TheGraveTalks #ParanormalJourney #ShamanicHealing #SpiritualAwakening #EnergyWork #TrueParanormal #HauntedHomes #HealingBeyondTherapy #RealStories #ParanormalPodcast Love real ghost stories?

Gary Dodson — better known as “Bumper” — tells the uncensored story of his transformation from a violent white supremacist skinhead and federal prison gang member to a man who ultimately walked away from hate and extremism. Raised in a chaotic, drug-filled household in rural California, Bumper gravitated toward gangs, violence, and racist ideology at a young age. What began as rebellion turned into full-blown immersion in neo-Nazi skinhead culture, leading to robberies, stabbings, riots, and eventually a federal hate-crime and arson case tied to Molotov cocktails. Bumper spent over a decade inside some of the most dangerous level-four federal prisons in the United States, including USP McCreary and USP Victorville, where racial politics, stabbings, and brutal “smash-outs” were a daily reality. In this interview, he breaks down: • How he was recruited into the skinhead movement • The inner politics of white supremacist prison gangs • The psychology behind hate, identity, and belonging • What daily life is really like in violent federal penitentiaries • How he slowly abandoned racist ideology • What finally made him choose a different path This is a raw, unfiltered look inside extremist subcultures, prison survival, and the possibility of change.

Imbolc has arrived! Even if you're buried under snow right now, spring is undoubtedly working its magic underground. This is a perfect time to tend to the corners in your life that have gotten out of hand over the winter. Save the big house cleansing for spring, in this moment, it's the smaller spaces that call for your attention. Perhaps you have a closet that desperately needs organizing, a desk overflowing with papers, an altar gathering dust, or a pile of craft supplies threatening to take over an entire room. Look for the space that's feeling cluttered or stagnant. If you find that this corner is draining your energy, take this opportunity to tend to it. When the energy inside our homes is restored, we are much better equipped to meet life's needs outside our door. A little tending goes a long way. What am I reading?The Witching moon Manor by Stacy Sivinskihttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9781668058411The Green Wiccan spell Book by Silja Sil-yahttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9781782497851https://bookshop.org/shop/witchywomanwalkingWhat's playing on repeat?Raised by Wolves by The Interrupters  What's for dinner?Mediterranean Chickpea Soup2 tablespoons olive oil1 onion1 carrot1 rib celery 1 leek optional2 cloves garlic2 tablespoon tomato paste½ teaspoon dried rosemary or 1 tsp dried oregano4 cups vegetable broth or more to taste2 15 oz cans chickpeas 1½ pounds potatoes peeled and diced 1 15 oz can crushed tomatoes ¾ teaspoon salt or to taste + red pepper flakes and black pepper to taste4 tablespoons grated parmesan or crumbled feta - optionalInstructions:Chop 1 onion, 1 carrot, 1 rib celery, and 2 cloves garlic.Sauté them in a large pot or Dutch oven with 1 leek in 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil oil for 5–10 minutes until soft.Stir in 2 tablespoon tomato paste and ½ teaspoon dried rosemary.

“You don't know that you live in a Black city until you leave.” Aaron Foley pulls up to Detroit Is Different with that truth and four generations of Detroit in his pocket—from Conant Gardens to the North End—unpacking how Legacy Black culture was built through homes, institutions, and the Black press. He paints his great-aunt Joyce's house as “JoAnn Fabrics full of patterns and clothes,” a creative HQ where couture fashion shows happened in the living room, and laughs at family lore: “I kicked that man out of my dressing room,” his grandmother's story after mistaking Lou Rawls for an intruder. From Pershing to Northern, Four Tops doo-wop to Smokey “out in these streets,” Foley shows how Detroit genius was neighborhood-deep. Then he brings it to the Michigan Chronicle, where he grew up watching the paper “come to life,” learning why “papers like The Chronicle…were very important in documenting our stories.” Now back at the Chronicle himself, he's focused on “what kind of stories…you can only read this in The Chronicle,” writing pieces meant to “stand the test of time” and seed the next wave of Black journalists. This episode is a love letter to our past—and a blueprint for our future. Detroit is Different is a podcast hosted by Khary Frazier covering people adding to the culture of an American Classic city.

The Bee Gees are one of the most influential and enduring acts in popular music history, a band whose songs have soundtracked generations and transcended genres, eras and trends. Formed by brothers Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb, the group's journey began long before global fame, rooted in family, harmony and an almost instinctive musical bond.Born on the Isle of Man and raised between England and Australia, the Gibb brothers began performing together as kids. Music wasn't just an interest — it was the family language. By the late '50s, the brothers were already writing songs, honing their harmonies and learning the discipline of performance. Their early success in Australia laid the groundwork for an international career that would soon explode.The Bee Gees' first major breakthrough came in the late '60s with emotionally rich, melodic songs like “To Love Somebody,” “Massachusetts,” “Words,” and “I've Gotta Get a Message to You.” Their close, often aching harmonies and introspective songwriting set them apart. In the '70s, the Bee Gees achieved one of the most dramatic transformations in music history. With Barry's soaring falsetto, the brothers became the undisputed kings of the disco era. Songs like “Stayin' Alive,” “Night Fever,” “How Deep Is Your Love,” and “You Should Be Dancing” dominated charts worldwide, largely through their work on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack — one of the best-selling albums of all time. Their songwriting partnership extended beyond their own recordings, producing hits for artists including Barbra Streisand, Diana Ross, Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton.Yet behind the global phenomenon was a tight-knit family unit. It was within this world that Stephen Gibb, Barry's eldest son, grew up. Raised surrounded by music, Stephen witnessed the Bee Gees at work from an unusually intimate vantage point. As a child, he watched his father and uncles write, rehearse and refine songs, often assuming that such musical brilliance was simply part of everyday life. Only later did he realise just how extraordinary that environment was.Stephen chose not to follow directly in his family's musical footsteps. Instead of pop harmonies, he gravitated toward hard rock and heavy metal, inspired by bands like Van Halen and Def Leppard. Determined to carve out his own identity, he built his own career. It was a conscious decision to step out of the Bee Gees' long shadow while still deeply respecting it.Tragedy struck the Gibb family with the loss of Andy Gibb in 1988, followed by Maurice Gibb in 2003 and Robin Gibb in 2012. These losses marked the end of the Bee Gees as a performing group, but not the end of their music. Barry continued performing and recording, often with Stephen by his side. Over time, Stephen became a trusted musical collaborator and guitarist in Barry's touring band, providing both musical and emotional support as his father carried the legacy forward alone.In 2021, Barry released Greenfields: The Gibb Brothers' Songbook, a roots-influenced reimagining of classic Bee Gees songs, recorded with a stellar lineup of artists including Dolly Parton, Keith Urban and Alison Krauss. The album was widely praised and served as a poignant tribute to his brothers and their shared catalogue. It also marked the closing chapter of Barry's recording career, as he has since stepped into a well-earned and contented retirement.Today, the Bee Gees' legacy remains immense. Their songs continue to resonate because they speak to universal emotions — love, heartbreak, resilience and hope — delivered through melodies that feel both intimate and timeless. Through Barry, and through the respect and care shown by Stephen, that legacy is protected with dignity rather than spectacle.The Bee Gees were never just a band. They were a family, bound by blood, harmony and an extraordinary gift for songwriting — a gift that continues to echo across generations.Today Stephen Gibb joins us with the story of The Bee Gees.

Kelly Jean Torres is an author, singer-songwriter, and trauma-informed storyteller whose work explores what it means to survive and heal. Raised in a web of foster care, domestic violence, addiction, and emotional neglect, Kelly grew up learning how to disappear in order to stay safe. Born in Illinois and now based in Nashville, Tennessee, Kelly's early life was shaped by instability and fear, but also by a fierce internal will to survive. Removed from her biological parents as an infant and raised in by volatile foster parents who ultimately adopted her, she learned early that love was conditional and safety was fragile. After decades of therapy, self-inquiry, and spiritual exploration, Kelly began to revisit the memories she spent a lifetime keeping at arm's length. Saving the Lost Girl is her first memoir, written with the belief that facing the past is the only way to reclaim the future. In addition to her writing, Kelly is a musician and lives with her husband and two children. Through her work, she hopes to remind others that no matter how our story began, we get to write our own ending.

For 37 years, Josh Smallwood didn't reject God — he just couldn't believe that Jesus was the answer. Raised with a general belief in God but deeply skeptical of Christianity, Josh searched for truth through reason, history, and evidence. Jesus felt too simple. Too easy. Too unlikely to be real.Josh's journey began intellectually. As an agnostic, he started studying near-death experiences from people all over the world — skeptics, believers, people of different faiths — and noticed something he couldn't explain. Their stories were remarkably consistent. The deeper he looked, the harder it became to dismiss the idea that there was more beyond this life.That search led him to examine the historical evidence for Jesus Himself. For the first time, Josh seriously considered whether Jesus was not just a good teacher or moral figure, but real — crucified, resurrected, and alive. As the evidence mounted, something unexpected happened. While reading about Jesus, Josh experienced a sudden, overwhelming encounter with the Holy Spirit — marked by uncontrollable emotion, repentance, and a deep sense that God was real and present.But the most profound moment came later.In a quiet, ordinary moment, Josh had a vision of Jesus that forever altered his understanding of God. He didn't see condemnation. He didn't hear judgment. What he encountered was love — a love so intense and personal that it left him undone. A love that felt closer than any human relationship he had ever known. A love that reframed his past pain, his grief, and even the moments when he wasn't walking with God at all.In this conversation, Josh shares:• Why he couldn't believe in Jesus for most of his life• How evidence and reason led him to faith• What it felt like to experience the Holy Spirit for the first time• The vision of Jesus that changed how he understands God's love• Why Christianity became personal — not religious• How his faith continues to shape his daily life--------------Link to More Than a Carpenter, the book that influenced Josh to Jesus - https://amzn.to/4sXY0dn------------------------✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give--------------------------✟ Recommend a guest for us here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact--------------------------✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith------------------------------------✟ If you need prayer or deliverance, or if you would like to join us as a prayer partner, please visit our prayer resources page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer.✟ If you are looking for a good faith-building book, visit our recommended books page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books.

From Trauma to Triumph: How Spiritual Awakening Transformed Business and Life   The Rags-to-Riches Round Trip Nobody Talks About When Success Keeps Vanishing You've built the business. Raised the capital. Made the millions. So why does it keep slipping away? And more importantlywhy does nothing feel like "enough"? Here's a truth most entrepreneurs never want to face: It's not your strategy. It's not your market. It's what's buried inside you.   In this raw and transformative episode of Richer Soul, we sit down with Smoke Wallin, entrepreneur, M&A advisor, and spiritual guide who made—and lost—$50-100 million multiple times. But this isn't a story about making money. It's about discovering why all the wealth in the world couldn't turn off the "loud fan" of anxiety constantly running in the back of his head. Until one day in Nepal, at Buddha's birthplace, everything changed.   5 Soul-Level Insights from Smoke Wallin: (This isn't about making more money. It's about freeing yourself from what's driving you.) Unhealed trauma doesn't just hurt—it sabotages. Smoke kept attracting business partners who would betray him. Why? Because betrayal was his unhealed childhood wound. His subconscious kept recreating the pattern until he faced it head-on. You can achieve massive success while suffering invisibly. Smoke became CFO of a billion-dollar company at 29, raised $110 million—all while living in constant anxiety he didn't even recognize. High achievers are masters at compartmentalizing pain. Forgiveness is freedom—for you, not them. Smoke's healing breakthrough came when he made a deal with his higher self: "If I can remember what happened, I'll forgive." That commitment unlocked everything. "Forgiveness is for the forgiver, not the forgiven." Spiritual awakening is 1% breakthrough, 99% daily integration. Plant medicine opened the door. But Smoke read 400+ books, practiced daily meditation, eliminated negative inputs, and consciously reprogrammed his subconscious. That's where real transformation lives. Money is neutral—your attachment is the prison. Once you're non-attached, you can fully experience wealth without being controlled by it. Smoke now channels resources to Dignity Moves (helping homeless families) and SACRED (supporting child abuse survivors)—because significance matters more than accumulation.   Why This Conversation Matters: Most entrepreneurs chase the next milestone thinking that will finally deliver peace. The next exit. The next $10 million. The next validation. But Smoke's journey reveals a deeper truth: External success means nothing if you're fundamentally unfree internally. This episode is an invitation to stop running—and start healing.   Money Learning: What if your wealth-building is driven by wounds, not wisdom? Smoke's pattern of building and losing fortunes wasn't about bad luck or bad partners. It was about unresolved childhood trauma manifesting in business relationships. For many driven entrepreneurs, the relentless pursuit of "more" is actually an attempt to fill a void, prove worth, or escape pain they've never faced. This episode invites you to ask: How much is enough? And what am I really running from? By healing the wounds beneath your drive, you don't lose your ambition—you gain clarity, peace, and the ability to build wealth that actually serves your life instead of consuming it.   Key Takeaway: Smoke Wallin made—and lost—$50-100 million multiple times because unhealed childhood trauma kept sabotaging his business relationships. Despite becoming CFO of a billion-dollar company at 29, he lived in constant anxiety until a spiritual awakening in Nepal and plant medicine ceremonies unlocked decades of buried memories. His breakthrough insight: "Forgiveness is for the forgiver, not the forgiven"—once he forgave, the anxiety vanished and he quit drinking without trying. Now living in "peace and joy at all times," Smoke helps entrepreneurs answer the question most can't: "How much is enough?"—proving that real wealth isn't in your bank account, it's in your soul.   Guest Bio: Smoke Wallin is an entrepreneur, M&A advisor, and spiritual guide based in Sedona, Arizona. He became CFO of a billion-dollar business at age 29, raised $110 million in the bond market, and has built and exited multiple companies across various industries. After a profound spiritual awakening triggered by a Kundalini experience at Buddha's birthplace in Nepal, Smoke has dedicated himself to helping entrepreneurs navigate both the business and existential dimensions of major exits. He co-founded Dignity Moves, a homeless initiative building villages across California, and serves on the board of SACRED, supporting families affected by child sexual abuse. A 23-year member of YPO (Young Presidents' Organization), Smoke is working on a forthcoming book offering an entrepreneur's guide to spiritual awakening.   Links: Podcast Home & All Platforms https://thesmoketrail.transistor.fm YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/@SmokeWallinOfficial Substack  Full episodes + Pre-Show Q&As + Community & Poetry & Essays https://smokewallin.substack.com/ LinkedIn – Primary promotion & newsletter- https://www.linkedin.com/build-relation/newsletter-follow?entityUrn=7055158311603601408 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/smokewallin Instagram https://www.instagram.com/smoketrailpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/smokewallin X (Twitter) https://x.com/TheSmokeTrail1 X: https://x.com/SmokeWallin TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@smokewallin Facebook Podcast Home https://www.facebook.com/DrinkTechnology   Stop chasing the next milestone, hoping it will finally deliver peace.

Josiah Hesse grew up in northern Iowa during the farm crisis of the 1980s, a moment of economic collapse, rising poverty, and quiet desperation across the rural Midwest. In this episode, he joins Straight White American, Jesus to talk about his new memoir, On Fire for God: Fear, Shame, Poverty, and the Making of the Christian Right. Through his family's story—parents who poured everything into a prosperity-gospel church, even giving dollar-for-dollar what they earned—Hesse traces how faith, trauma, and economic pressure collided in a home and a church marked by dysfunction, scandal, and exploitation. What emerges is not a caricature, but a deeply human portrait of people searching for meaning, stability, and hope in a system that ultimately consumed them. Our conversation moves from the intimate to the national, mapping Hesse's personal journey onto the rise of the Christian Right from the 1980s to today's Christian nationalist movement. We talk about fear of the end times, purity culture, religious trauma, sexuality, and the long road out of evangelicalism—alongside the compassion required to reckon honestly with the people and places that shaped him. Hesse, a journalist based in Colorado, brings unflinching analysis and rare empathy to a genre crowded with deconversion stories, showing how the forces that shaped his childhood are now shaping our public square. Subscribers can stick around for an extended discussion on how his story illuminates the political and moral crises we're living through right now. www.axismundi.us www.straightwhiteamericanjesus.com Hesse, On Fire for God: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/721105/on-fire-for-god-by-josiah-hesse/ Learn more about your ad choices.

The Texan prodigy transmits the sound of sci-fi techno in 2026. What does the future feel like in 2026? In an era dominated by nostalgia and electronic revivalism, even techno—a genre once defined by futurism—has begun to feel stagnant. Enter Gautham Garg, aka Decoder. Raised in Dallas, the 21-year-old offers a refreshed vision of techno for the present moment. While comparisons to techno stargazers like Mills and Richie Hawtin are inevitable, RA.1023 reveals a broader palette. Microtonal flourishes recall Aleksi Perälä's Colundi era, while the patient structures lean closer to Perlon-style minimalism than early-2000s severity, with nods to Ricardo Villalobos and Margaret Dygas. Built largely from unreleased material, RA.1023 captures Garg's vision of techno for this decade. There's weight, but it's more body than bite: elastic, finely tuned drums and a buoyant hypnotism that persists even in rougher moments. Though often labeled sci-fi, Garg's sound adds layers to cold futurism—instead, optimism shines through. In his hands, techno's future still feels bright.

Kristen Welch is an author, speaker, and the founder of Mercy House Global, but her story is shaped less by achievement and more by surrender. Raised in a generous, Christian home, Kristen followed God's lead into ministry, writing, and motherhood. Her love for writing led her into the early Christian mom-blogging world where she found community and influence, but it was a 2010 blogging trip to Kenya with Compassion International that unsettled her faith and reordered her calling. That encounter became the catalyst for Mercy House Global and for a lifelong journey of learning what it means to say yes to God with open hands.   Through Mercy House, Kristen has spent the past fifteen years walking alongside vulnerable women and families through job creation, orphan prevention, and discipleship, both globally and locally. Along the way, she has learned that generosity and ministry busyness without intimacy with God can quietly hollow out the soul. Her story reflects the cost of faithful work, the danger of doing for God without being with Him, and the grace God offers through rest, repentance, and renewed friendship with Him.   This conversation invites all of us to reflect on how God calls us to slow down, reorient our hearts, and rediscover satisfaction in His presence while living generously.   Major Topics Include: Generosity in hospitality Obedience through small, faithful yeses Using influence for Kingdom purpose Serving without losing intimacy with God The danger of doing for God without being with God Identity rooted in sonship, not productivity Parenting through embodied generosity Slowing down to practice God's presence QUOTES TO REMEMBER “Just do the next right thing.” “We were always looking for ways to use what we had for the gospel of hospitality.” “The opportunity to use the writing skill and the blog platform for God's glory really became a sweet spot for me and it changed my life.” “I will spend the rest of my life answering the question, ‘what am I doing to help the vulnerable in our communities and in our world?'” “God used the poor to help me find Him in a new way.” “God doesn't need us to do any of this, He invites us to do it.” “Being with God is the best use of our time.” “It is not a waste of time to spend time with God.” “When we live as generous people, our kids will too.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Mercy House Global Kristen Welch's Website Raising Grateful Kids in an Entitled World by Kristen Welch Raising World Changers in a Changing World by Kristen Welch Compassion International When Helping Hurts (see our interview with coauthor Brian Fikkert) Women Doing Well (see our interview with president Julie Wilson) The Finish Line Community Facebook Group The Finish Line Community LinkedIn Group BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW Revelation 3:20 | Christ's Invitation to Intimacy   Behold, I stand at the door and knock.

In this gripping episode, we welcome Chris and Dean, the charismatic hosts of The Wandering Road podcast, for a raw, unflinching deep dive into the darkest corners of the paranormal—where the supernatural doesn't just pass through… it takes root and refuses to leave.What happens when the unseen doesn't merely haunt a home—it claims it as its own?Chris delivers a courageous, deeply personal account of his childhood overshadowed by persistent, unrelenting paranormal activity. Raised in a house gripped by malevolent forces, he and his entire family endured escalating torment: eerie unexplained noises, objects moving on their own, suffocating oppressive presences, and ultimately, what appears to be a demonic attachment tied to the previous occupants' deep involvement in occult practices.From chilling encounters with duendes to phenomena that shatter rational understanding, Chris exposes how these entities manipulated events, transcended time and space, and continue to exert influence even today. This is no ordinary ghost story—it's a haunting, ongoing saga of forces that cling, dominate, and endure.Throughout the conversation, Chris and Dean—veteran explorers of the strange—openly share their candid thoughts and hard-earned opinions on high strangeness and the supernatural world we inhabit. Drawing from years of investigating the bizarre and unexplained, they dissect the nature of these persistent entities, debate the blurred lines between psychological, spiritual, and interdimensional influences, and reflect on what it truly means to live in a reality where the veil is thinner than we dare admit. Their dynamic interplay adds layers of insight, skepticism, and wonder to an already intense narrative.Expect raw vulnerability, spine-tingling revelations, and moments that will challenge your perception of what's possible. If you've ever questioned the permanence of paranormal claims—or what happens when the shadows refuse to fade—this episode will leave you on the edge of your seat.Join us as we confront the unknown head-on, where fear, faith, and the inexplicable collide.Some shadows never fade…Check out The Wandering Road wherever you enjoy podcasts.Gear up and get freaky with official Let's Get Freaky merchandise!

Health Challenges for Her From Trauma and Recovery: How One Child Abuse Investigator Turned Pain Into Purpose. For more than two decades, she stood on the front lines of child protection in California, investigating some of the most disturbing cases of abuse and neglect imaginable. As a seasoned Child Abuse Investigator, she bore witness to the darkest corners of humanity, stories most people never hear, and few could carry without consequence. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Those consequences eventually arrived.

In the final year of her investigative career, Brandy Krueg was diagnosed with PTSD. The diagnosis forced her to confront a truth she had long postponed: the emotional weight of trauma does not disappear simply because the job is done. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . “I was trained to protect children, not myself,” Brandy has said. “For years, I believed strength meant pushing through. I didn't realize how much I was carrying until my body and mind finally said, ‘Enough.'” Two Cases That Changed Everything Among the many investigations Brandy handled, two child abuse cases left an indelible mark on her mental health and recovery. One of those cases escalated into a devastating homicide, a tragedy that still echoes through her work today. Health Challenges for Her From Trauma and Recovery: How One Child Abuse Investigator Turned Pain Into Purpose. Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. “When a case ends in murder, it doesn't just close,” she explains. “It lives with you. You replay every decision, every report, every moment you wonder if something, anything, could have changed the outcome.” The emotional toll of repeated exposure to violence, abuse, and loss is well-documented among frontline professionals, yet often minimized. Brandy's experience highlights the health challenges for her from trauma and recovery, a reality shared by many investigators, first responders, and healthcare workers who silently shoulder cumulative trauma. From Investigator to Therapist Following her PTSD diagnosis, Brandy made a life-altering transition. Today, she is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and practicing therapist, specializing in trauma recovery for frontline professionals and their families. Look for The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Based in California, Brandy now helps others navigate the very terrain she once crossed alone. “Healing didn't mean leaving my past behind,” she says. “It meant understanding it, and using it to help others survive theirs.” Health Challenges for Her From Trauma and Recovery. Her work as an in-house therapist with the Stockton Police Department places her alongside officers coping with stress, addiction, critical incidents, and cumulative trauma. Certified in First Responder Counseling, Critical Incident Stress Management (CCISM), and EMDR, Brandy delivers evidence-based care tailored to high-risk professions. A Childhood Marked by Abuse, and Survival Brandy's professional journey cannot be separated from her personal story. Raised by a teenage mother battling bipolar disorder and addiction, her childhood was marked by instability, emotional neglect, violent outbursts, and repeated abuse by trusted family friends. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and other podcast platforms. Her experiences reflect a painful reality often hidden behind closed doors, one that shapes both victims and the professionals who later serve them. “I didn't just investigate abuse,” Brandy writes. “I understood it.” That understanding would later become the foundation of her memoir, Turning Pain Into Purpose. Turning Pain Into Purpose: A Memoir of Trauma and Redemption In Turning Pain Into Purpose, Brandy chronicles her journey from a childhood defined by abuse, to a career immersed in trauma, and finally to a life rooted in healing and advocacy. The book is unflinching, deeply human, and profoundly hopeful. Health Challenges for Her From Trauma and Recovery. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. As she navigates unimaginable loss, the death of loved ones, and her sister's battle with addiction, Brandy becomes the protector she never had, first for herself, then for her children, and ultimately for others. “Trauma may shape us,” she writes, “but it does not get to define us.” The book has resonated widely across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, and has been featured in conversations spanning News outlets, The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast interview, and their platforms like Apple, Spotify, Youtube, Facebook, where Brandy speaks openly about trauma, recovery, and resilience. Advocacy, Education, and Healing Today, through Krueg Therapy Services, Brandy empowers individuals and organizations with trauma counseling, wellness training, leadership coaching, and education for frontline staff and supervisors. She also serves as a Trauma Social Worker in a Level 2 trauma emergency room and as an Emergency Response Social Worker with Sacramento County's Children's Protective Services. Her programs emphasize work-life balance, recovery, and sustainable resilience, tools she believes are essential for long-term survival in high-pressure careers. Health Challenges for Her From Trauma and Recovery. More information and the interview with him is available on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and other major platforms “We can't keep asking people to run into fires without teaching them how to recover from the burns,” Brandy says. A Voice for the Voiceless More than a memoir, Turning Pain Into Purpose is a beacon for those who feel broken, lost, or unheard. It speaks not only to survivors of abuse, but to professionals who carry trauma in silence, and to anyone searching for meaning after suffering. Brandy Krueg's story is proof that while trauma leaves scars, it can also create clarity, compassion, and purpose. Her life's work stands as a reminder that healing is possible, and that sometimes, the most powerful way forward is to turn pain into a platform for hope.

Ghislaine Maxwell's moral decline seems rooted not only in her criminal actions, but in a lifetime of calculated manipulation, entitlement, and ethical erosion. Raised by a father—the infamous tycoon Robert Maxwell—whose own legacy was steeped in fraud and abuse, she internalized a worldview rooted in privilege and impunity. From building the terra firma of Epstein's recruitment network to scouting underage girls from schools and trailer parks, Maxwell weaponized trust, wealth, and status to prey on vulnerable victims. She gravitated toward positions of influence not out of conviction, but to cloak her predatory behavior behind facades of virtue—whether environmental philanthropy via TerraMar or spiritual veneer at elite gatherings. The numerous survivor testimonies and internal court documents consistently depict a woman who saw others, particularly young women, as disposable: “They are trash,” one interviewee quoted her saying.Throughout her trial and sentencing, Maxwell maintained a posture of remorse without accountability, tearing down ethical convention while insisting she was a scapegoat. Although she expressed regret for meeting Epstein, she never accepted meaningful responsibility for her crimes. Multiple legal observers and prosecutors criticized her refusal to testify or serial denials—even when faced with incontrovertible deposition evidence and survivor testimonies. Her swaggering defiance, combined with the breadth of her enabling role in Epstein's abuse network, mark her as something far worse than misguided—a calculated enabler wielding deception and manipulation as tools of power. In describing Maxwell, writers and commentators have not held back: she is often labeled morally bankrupt, a figure who trafficked innocence and corrupted every circle she touched.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Top Stories for January 24th Publish Date: January 24th PRE-ROLL: Kia Mall of Georgia From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, January 24th and Happy Birthday to Neil Diamond I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. GCPS cancels weekend activities; no decision made for Monday classes NAME CHANGE: Coolray Field's naming rights are up for grabs; will be Gwinnett Field for now Four dead in shooting at Lawrenceville home; child’s 911 call leads to suspect’s arrest All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: EAGLE THEATRE STORY 1: GCPS cancels weekend activities; no decision made for Monday classes Gwinnett County Public Schools is playing it safe this weekend—officials have canceled all activities scheduled for Saturday and Sunday due to the looming bad weather. “The safety of our students and staff is always our top priority,” the district said in a statement. As of Thursday afternoon, no decisions have been made yet about Monday. But the district promised to keep everyone in the loop if anything changes. For now, here’s the deal: All school events and facility use for Jan. 24–25? Canceled. Monday? Still up in the air. Stay tuned, and stay safe. STORY 2: NAME CHANGE: Coolray Field's naming rights are up for grabs; will be Gwinnett Field for now For 15 years, it’s been Coolray Field—home of the Gwinnett Stripers. But now? Say hello to Gwinnett Field. At least for now. Coolray Heating and Air’s naming rights deal ended in 2025, and while the Gwinnett Convention and Visitors Bureau hunts for a new corporate partner, the stadium’s getting a temporary rebrand. Signs are already coming down, including the big one on the outfield scoreboard (a crane’s needed for that beast). The Stripers’ website and new signage will reflect the change before the season starts in April. Meanwhile, Hall’s confident a new sponsor will step up soon. Even so, getting locals to stop calling it Coolray might take time. After all, even the apartments overlooking the field are named “The Views at Coolray Field.” Change is hard, but Hall believes people will adjust faster than they think. “Repetition works. Before long, they won’t even remember what it used to be called.” STORY 3: Four dead in shooting at Lawrenceville home; child’s 911 call leads to suspect’s arrest A tragic scene unfolded early Friday morning in a quiet Lawrenceville neighborhood—four adults were found dead in what police are calling a domestic shooting. It happened around 2:30 a.m. on Brook Ivy Court. Officers arrived after a “shots fired” call and discovered the victims inside the home, all with fatal gunshot wounds. Their names haven’t been released yet, but police confirmed there’d been prior calls to the house. Three young children were inside when it happened. Terrified, they hid in a closet. One of them—brave beyond words—called 911, giving officers the information they needed to respond quickly. When police arrived, the suspect’s car was still in the driveway. K-9 units tracked him to a nearby wooded area, where he was arrested without incident. The children, thankfully unharmed, are now with family. The investigation is ongoing. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets - Gwinnett County Public Schools STORY 4: Athea King named executive director of the Suwanee Arts Center The Suwanee Arts Center has a new face at the helm—Athea King, a seasoned arts leader with a knack for bringing people and creativity together. Before landing in Suwanee, King worked at the Woodruff Arts Center, where she juggled everything from managing over 130 trustees to building partnerships and co-creating fundraising events that boosted arts education across Georgia. Her resume? Packed. She’s led gallery merchandising at Spruill Gallery, strengthened artist relationships, and turned their Holiday Art Fair into a record-breaking fundraiser. She’s also held roles at the High Museum, ArtCloud, and more, shaping her into a powerhouse of strategic planning, artist advocacy, and community programming. Oh, and she’s not just an administrator—she’s an artist herself. King’s fine art photography has been exhibited across the Southeast, backed by two Kickstarter campaigns. With a BFA in Photographic Imaging and a heart for collaboration, King’s ready to make Suwanee’s arts scene shine even brighter. STORY 5: Parkview senior earns Legion of Valor Bronze Cross award Candace Elkins, a senior at Parkview High, just earned one of the most prestigious honors in JROTC—the Legion of Valor Bronze Cross for Achievement. And honestly? It’s no surprise. As Cadet Battalion Commander, holding the rank of Cadet Lieutenant Colonel (the highest in her unit), Candace has led with grit and focus. Her leadership mantra? “Focus on your weakness and exploit it until it becomes your strength.” It’s worked wonders, according to First Sergeant Nontron D. Ward, her JROTC instructor. This award isn’t handed out lightly. Out of 300,000 JROTC students nationwide, only a handful receive it each year. To qualify, you’ve got to be in the top 10% of your JROTC unit and the top 15% of your class. Candace? She’s crushing it with a 98.8 GPA, a class rank of 43 out of 731, and a JROTC GPA of 98.5. But she’s not just about academics. She’s also a varsity lacrosse player, a Color Guard Commander, and a community service powerhouse. Dr. Frank Jones, a district coordinator, summed it up: “She’s the kind of well-rounded, high-achieving student the Legion of Valor Committee looks for.” We’ll be right back. Break 3: GCPL Passport STORY 6: Dumpster fire damages exterior of Dillard’s at Mall of Georgia Wednesday night got a little too heated at the Mall of Georgia—literally. A dumpster fire outside Dillard’s turned into a bigger problem when flames spread to the building’s exterior. It all started around 7:28 p.m., when 911 calls came in reporting the fire. By the time crews arrived five minutes later, the dumpster blaze had climbed up the two-story parapet wall near the loading dock. Firefighters jumped into action, attacking the flames with hoses while teams evacuated the store to make sure no one was trapped inside. Once everyone—about 40 people—was safely out, crews tackled the fire that had spread to a nearby tree and worked to protect surrounding areas. By 7:51 p.m., the fire was under control, though smoke still lingered inside Dillard’s. Fans were brought in to clear it out. The damage? Significant to the parapet wall, but thankfully, the fire didn’t make it inside the main building. No injuries were reported, and medical crews on-site focused on firefighter rehab. Fire officials later ruled the blaze accidental, with the dumpster as the starting point. Dillard’s and mall management were on hand to assist emergency crews as the situation unfolded. STORY 7: Lawrenceville's Natalee Summers honored as Gwinnett Tech's top GOAL student Natalee Summers, an Early Childhood Care and Education student at Gwinnett Technical College, was just named the 2026 GOAL winner—and she’s still wrapping her head around it. A Lawrenceville local, Natalee’s roots run deep in Gwinnett County. Raised in Georgia since she was seven, she credits her family, church, and community for shaping her journey. She’s not just a student—she’s a leader. From serving as a Student Ambassador to organizing a pajama drive that collected over 500 pairs for foster kids, Natalee’s heart is in everything she does. Her path to Gwinnett Tech wasn’t straightforward. Financial worries made a four-year university feel impossible, so she started in Radiologic Technology—practical, sure, but not her passion. Through the GOAL competition, Natalee realized something powerful: her story matters. After graduation, she hopes to work in Gwinnett County schools and eventually earn her bachelor’s in elementary education.

In this powerful and wide-ranging episode of Gracias, Come Again, we sit down with DJ Tony Touch, legendary DJ, producer, artist, mixtape pioneer, and one of the most influential cultural figures in Hip-Hop history. Tony Touch takes us back to his upbringing in Brooklyn, New York, sharing how his Puerto Rican roots and musical household shaped his destiny. Raised in a family of musicians, with a grandfather and father who played music and a mother who sang, Tony explains how music was always in his DNA. We explore Tony Touch’s role as a firsthand witness to the birth of Hip-Hop AND reggaeton and how he has remained present and impactful decade after decade, building a global legacy while staying grounded in community. Going beyond the music, Tony speaks candidly about his private life, sharing that he is both a father and a grandfather, while explaining why he chooses to keep much of his personal life out of the spotlight. He discusses growing up in a religious home, how faith and God have always guided his journey, and how he attributes his success, longevity, and purpose to his spiritual foundation. The conversation also dives into Boricuas in Hip-Hop, Tony’s groundbreaking ReggaeTony era, and his work with icons like Tego Calderón & Ivy Queen. Tony reflects on being a crucial bridge when reggaeton traveled from Puerto Rico to New York, and how he helped introduce the sound to the Spanglish and Latino communities across the United States. We also get his thoughts on Bad Bunny’s upcoming Super Bowl performance, his cultural impact, and what his success represents for Latino music on the global stage. Tony closes the episode by sharing his vision for 2026 and graciously accepting his flowers as a true hip-hop legend whose influence continues to shape generations.
