Today I'm honoured to be speaking with Vicki Noble, author, scholar, teacher, artist, mother, and one of the true pioneers of modern feminist spirituality. Vicki is best known as the co-creator of the Motherpeace Tarot, the first feminist deck of its kind. For more than 40 years, Vicki has been a leading voice in the study and revival of the ancient feminine mysteries. Teaching about the Dakini, the dark goddess, the cycles of the moon, and the sacred dimensions of menstruation, birth, sexuality, and transformation. She's written extensively about the ways patriarchal culture has severed us from these mysteries and what happens to our bodies, our psyches, and our planet when the feminine is suppressed, shamed, and forgotten. In this conversation, we're descending into that underworld space. The shadow realms where the feminine has long been buried or silenced. We'll talk about menstrual shame and how women have internalized centuries of denial around the natural power of their cycles. We'll explore the Dakini archetype, fierce, erotic, untamed, and utterly truthful as a guide for personal and collective transformation. And we discuss what it means to reclaim the dark as sacred, the bleeding time. Vicki Noble is a visionary teacher, author and co-creator of the Motherpiece Tarot. She's based in Santa Cruz and has spent over four decades reviving the ancient feminine mysteries from the Dakini and the dark goddess to the healing power of menstruation and cyclic living. Today she shares her wisdom with us and why she believes the dark goddess holds the keys to our healing and transformation, personally and collectively. Resources: https://www.vickinoble.com/about-1/@vickinobleonehttps://motherpeace.com/https://www.vickinoble.com/dior-adventure/

Leticia Racine calls herself a “Returning Warrior” of the Sixties Scoop. As a child, she was at the centre of a landmark Supreme Court case that paved the way for Indigenous children to be adopted into non-Indigenous homes. Judges ruled that Leticia's foster parents could adopt her, and suggested her connections to her Indigenous mother and their heritage were likely to “abate” over time." IDEAS producer Dawna Dingwall explores how Leticia —and other adoptees — found their way back to the families, communities and culture — that never really left them.Dawna shares Leticia's story and this precedent court case on the CBC podcast, See You in Court.

This week at 2Rivers, we wrapped up our Joy Reclaimed series with an encouraging reminder that joy isn't something we earn or fake. It's a fruit of the Spirit that grows as we walk closely with Jesus — even in the middle of worry, stress, or uncertainty.In this message, Pastor Ron Cathcart walks through Philippians 4:4–9, showing us how to rejoice in all things, worry about no things, pray about everything, think about the right things, and focus on the King of Kings. It's a timely word for anyone who's felt the weight of anxiety or the pull of fear and longs to experience the peace of God again.If you've been searching for real, lasting joy, this one's for you. Lean in and be encouraged — the Lord is near.

We're kicking off our new series, David Lynch: Between Two Worlds, where we explore the dream logic, fractured identities, and spiritual mysteries of Lynch's later career — beginning with his polarizing Twin Peaks prequel, FIRE WALK WITH ME. In this first of our two-part deep dive, we explore how Lynch returned to Twin Peaks after its cancellation — and how his original vision for a Twin Peaks movie evolved into something far darker and more personal. We'll track the story from the series' troubled end through the film's early development, the departure of co-creator Mark Frost, the decision to center Laura Palmer's final days, and the winding, often surreal path the script took. We also dive into Lynch's inspiration, his collaboration with new and returning cast members, and the emotional weight of revisiting the trauma at the heart of the original series — this time from Laura's perspective.

What's weighing down your joy?In Philippians 3, Paul invites us to a joy deeper than fleeting happiness, one that's rooted in releasing burdens never meant for us to carry.In this message, Pastor Nick Tallo continues our Joy Reclaimed series with “Joy in the Release.” From the image of a backpacking trip to the power of surrender, we discover that joy blossoms when we let go of the weight of performance, fame, and our past. Paul, writing from a prison cell, urges us to “rejoice in the Lord” (Philippians 3:1). This isn't about ignoring life's challenges—it's about finding a settled confidence in Christ that transcends every circumstance.Key Takeaways:Release Performance-Based Living – Paul warns against putting confidence in human effort, reminding us that salvation is by grace through faith, not works (Ephesians 2:8-9). True joy comes when we stop striving to earn God's love and rest in what He's already done.Release Past Achievements and Failures – Paul considers his past accomplishments “loss” compared to knowing Christ (Philippians 3:8). Whether it's victories or regrets, clinging to the past weighs us down. Joy comes when we press forward into what lies ahead.Embrace God's Purpose – Joy is found in living out God's grace and purpose—making Him known in every facet of life (Philippians 3:14). When we release our own plans and embrace His, we step into the freedom of true joy.If you've been carrying the weight of performance, control, or comparison, this message is a call to let go. Because until you release what doesn't last, you'll never experience the joy that does.Scripture: Philippians 3Series: Joy Reclaimed (Week 3 – “Joy in the Release”)Speaker: Pastor Nick2Rivers Church#JoyReclaimed #Philippians3 #2RiversChurch #JoyInChrist #FaithOverPerformance

We explore the fascinating and fraught world of “bad” words that have been reclaimed over time. Starting with audience feedback on our interview with former neo-Nazi Jeff Schoep, we move from a tale of a doomed cross-stitch kit into a discussion of words, and look at how insults can be re-owned with power while others still sting.

I'm so thankful for this conversation with Stephanie Broersma about her brand-new resource: Reclaimed: A Course to Guide You Through Betrayal and Infidelity Trauma. This powerful resource is designed for those walking through the trauma of betrayal, offering hope, healing, and a path forward. In our conversation, Stephanie shares how the course helps you stay connected to the Lord in the midst of grief, while also providing practical next steps and long-term rhythms to move toward restoration. She reminds us that your spouse's decisions do not define your worth and that there is a real enemy fighting against both your marriage and your identity in Christ. If you've been hurting, this conversation will point you back to truth, hope, and healing.   Episode Highlights: What fires together, wires together. You have options when triggers begin to surface. Triggers don't equate to a lack of forgiveness. There's no need to rush. Give yourself time to get your emotions regulated before making a major decision. Allow the Lord the space to work in the midst of the grief and in the midst of the stillness and heaviness.   Quotes from Today's Episode: Give yourself time to grieve and heal the right way. -Dr. Kim God designed emotions to inform us about our world. They are not bad. They give us language to express what we are feeling.- Stephanie Triggers point you to an experienced trauma in your life and then you have an option. You have a choice. What am I going to do with this trigger?-Stephanie As you heal, the triggers become less damaging. -Dr. Kim Sexual addiction, at its deepest level, is a spiritual issue. A disorder of worship, not to God but to self.- Stephanie Healing does not happen in isolation. You are not meant to be alone in this journey.-Stephanie Forgiveness is a posture of surrender that says, 'I can't fix him. I don't want to fix him.'- Stephanie Your spouse does not define you or your future. As long as God leaves, as long as you get that breath, God's got a plan for you.- Dr. Kim If you're going to get healthy, there has to be boundaries in place. And they have to be consistent.- Dr. Kim Hope chooses faith even in the mess. Questions for Reflection: In what ways have you been tempted to let someone else's choices define your worth, and how can you replace those lies with God's truth about your identity? What is one practical rhythm you can begin this week to stay connected to the Lord as you process pain or grief? How can you recognize the enemy's attempts to attack your marriage or identity, and what steps can you take to guard against them?

This week, Pastor Joe wraps up our sermon series called Faith Reclaimed by turning to 1 Timothy 6:6-19 and inviting us to rethink happiness. What if happiness isn't something you earn, but rather it is something you receive and pass on? 

What does it really take to live with lasting joy? In week two of our Joy Reclaimed series, Pastor Brandon Johnson unpacks Philippians 2 and shows us that unity leads to joy—but unity can't happen without humility.Through personal stories, Paul's words to the church in Philippi, and the example of Jesus Himself, we're reminded: pride will mess things up, but humility keeps us aligned with God's design.In this message, you'll discover:Why pride destroys marriages, teams, and even churchesHow humility opens the door to unity and joyThe model of Jesus: He came down, got down, laid down His life—and was raised upWhat it means to daily humble ourselves and choose God's way over our ownWhether you're watching from the room or online, this is a call to walk in humility and experience the joy only Jesus can give.Scripture: Philippians 2:1–11 Series: Joy Reclaimed | Week 2If this message encouraged you, don't forget to like, share, and subscribe for more teaching from 2Rivers Church.Don't forget to hit that SUBSCRIBE button to stay updated with our content ⏩.LIKE ✔️, SHARE

I grew up hearing one story: your fertility drops off a cliff at 35. That belief drove me into panic — until I started asking questions. In this episode, I walk you through my 10+ year journey from medical student to naturopathic doctor to a woman who chose her timing — without letting fear run the show.This is a compassionate, evidence-aware look at fertility that combines research, mind-body medicine, and real clinical stories. If timelines have you anxious, if you feel pressured by culture or partners, or if you want practical ways to support your fertility without shame — watch this.

Kelly's insomnia began after the birth of her first child. Sleepless nights quickly turned into panic-filled evenings, anxious days, and a desperate search for fixes that only made things worse. Her turning point came when she realized it wasn't her body that was broken, but the exhausting fight with sleep and her thoughts. By loosening her grip, letting go of rituals, and meeting thoughts with openness, she began to live more freely. When insomnia returned during pregnancy, Kelly chose acceptance over fear. Instead of battling sleepless nights, she allowed them to unfold. The fear eased, sleep returned naturally, and today her life is no longer defined by insomnia. Watch/listen to this episode

In this episode, we break down the strategic urgency of reclaiming Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan. Far from a full-scale invasion, modern technology and drone capabilities make retaking this critical base a precise operation—key for countering terrorist training camps and projecting power across the Middle East and beyond. We explore how the previous Biden administration's withdrawal left the base in the hands of the Taliban and China, the implications for Al Qaeda and emerging terror networks, and why Trump sees Bagram as a linchpin for future operations against Iran's nuclear program. From border security to global military strategy, this episode examines why “doing nothing” is not an option—and how modern warfare changes the game.

This week, Pastor Joe continues our sermon series called Faith Reclaimed by turning 1 Timothy 2:1-7 and inviting us to reframe prayer. How might prayer become the practice by which we confront injustice? What if prayer became the discipline by which we resist empire? 

Do you find yourself chasing happiness but still coming up empty when life gets hard? Happiness is a temporary emotional state, easily swayed by circumstances, events, or experiences. It can be sweet—but it's fleeting. Joy, on the other hand, is far deeper. It's a steady, abiding sense of well-being and contentment rooted in a relationship with God. Unlike happiness, joy transcends circumstances, sustains us through trials, and overflows in worship and gratitude.In our new series, "Joy Reclaimed," we're walking through the book of Philippians to uncover how to experience joy that endures, even in the hardest seasons. Written from a jail cell, the Apostle Paul shows us the stark contrast between temporary happiness and lasting joy in Christ. Facing possible death, Paul demonstrates that true joy doesn't depend on what's happening around us but on who we belong to.In this message, Pastor Ron Cathcart will help us explore:The difference between fleeting happiness and biblical joy.Why circumstances don't get to define our joy (Philippians 1:12–14).How God can use adversity to bring about surprising outcomes (Philippians 1:15–18).The power of perspective in shaping our response to challenges (Philippians 1:19–21).The freedom and peace that flow from knowing our eternal destination (Philippians 1:22–26).At 2Rivers, our mission is to help you become a passionate follower of Jesus so you can experience the life He designed for you—and inspire others to do the same.

This week, Pastor Joe continues our sermon series called Faith Reclaimed by turning 1 Timothy 1:12-17 and inviting us to reimagine regret. What might it mean for us to become guardians of the truth, and not defenders of national ego? What might it mean for us to to allow mercy to meet us in the places we're finally brave enough to name?

For many of us, “the hustle” has become a way of life. Long hours, endless responsibilities, and the constant pressure to do more often come at a cost—our health. Few people know this better than Umashnee Naidoo, who faced the heavy toll of burnout, weight gain, and depression before transforming her life through holistic healing. From Burnout to Breakdown Like so many professionals, Umashnee poured herself into her work. On the outside, she was driven and successful. But inside, the stress of hustle culture was taking its toll. The result was emotional exhaustion, severe depression, and a body carrying 60 extra pounds of weight. It wasn't just about how she looked—it was about how she felt. Every day became a struggle. Choosing a Different Path Umashnee realized that if she didn't make a change, she risked losing more than her health—she risked losing herself. That realization led her to embrace holistic health practices: yoga, meditation, and energy medicine. These weren't quick fixes, but powerful tools that helped her reconnect to her body, calm her mind, and begin the journey of true healing. Through consistency and self-discovery, Umashnee not only shed 60 pounds but also regained her joy, energy, and sense of purpose. Her story is proof that sustainable transformation happens when you address both the mind and the body. The Power of Mind-Body Healing What makes Umashnee's journey so impactful is her focus on the whole person. She learned that depression, weight gain, and burnout are often symptoms of deeper imbalances. By aligning her nutrition, movement, and mindset with her values, she was able to heal from the inside out. Today, she shares her knowledge and experience to help others reclaim their health and happiness. Her story is a reminder that true wellness isn't just about losing weight or following a diet—it's about creating harmony in your life. Lessons for All of Us There are three key takeaways from Umashnee's journey that anyone can apply: Listen to your body. Fatigue, stress, and weight gain are signals, not just inconveniences. Prioritize mental health. Depression and burnout require attention, compassion, and care—not silence. Small, consistent changes matter. Yoga, meditation, and mindful eating create long-term transformation when practiced regularly. Connect with Umashnee If you're ready to step off the treadmill of hustle culture and into a healthier, more balanced life, you'll find Umashnee's work inspiring and practical.

This week, Pastor Joe launches a new sermon series on what it means to reclaim our faith. In this first sermon, he challenges us to understand reconciled relationships not as a way to smooth things over, but as a way to find liberation and justice against the systems that oppress.

Change always feels like loss—until you see what God is making room for.

What does it mean to be human? To navigate a Soul? To learn to heal from Life & its experiences? How can we come to be fully present in our bodies and trust ourselves and our paths? These are question that my guest this week, Kyla Gagnon, is deeply acquainted with. She is a strong advocate for Feminine empowerment and inner strength combined with peace. She wants women to speak all the way up about anything +everything & to know what safety in their body feels like, safety in partnership feels like and safety in FULLY living feels like. Kyla aims to inspire women to disengage from mediocre and step into their wildness. On this Guest episode Kyla tells us about her journey work as a trauma release breathwork facilitator and empowerment coach for women.We discuss her mission to help 1,000,000 women reclaim their power and amplify their lives and how we can all be apart of this mission. She shares about how After a 15 year career as a fitness coach, competitor, model and writer, yoga instructor and retreat leader SOMETHING wsmissing. There was a DEPTH I was craving, and fitness felt limiting and superficial. I found Breathwork in 2019 and everything changed for me , literally overnight. The depth I was seeking was within ME and it took a breathwork journey to open this up for me. I burnt my business to the ground and dove head first into somatics, trauma training and breathwork. Now 6 years later I am HOME, and get to support others in finding this magic within them everyday. BIO:Kyla Gagnon is a somatic Breathwork facilitator and embodiment and empowerment coach for women. She is also a retreat host, and the host of Reclaimed, the podcast. A podcast dedicated to supporting women in reclaiming their power. Kyla's work is rooted in trauma informed nervous system regulation and emotional regulation through a somatic lens (body based vs mind based).She is the founder of Breathe With Kyla, a somatics and BREATHWORK membership for women, and School Of Breath Medicine a breathwork and somatics teacher training program. After 16 years in the fitness industry, it became crystal clear that there had to be something more, something deeper and it's been through conscious connected Breathwork that she has found this depth both within herself and within her clients. It was an immediate and intuitive knowing that this was the direction to take, and after one session she began the process of closing her business of 16 years and stepping fully into somatics and Breathwork. LINKS: Breathe With Kyla Masterclass Membership.  ( use code PODCAST) for 15% off  School Of Breath Medicine January 2026

Brett Miller visits Olde Wood Limited and chats with owner Tommy Sancic about his passion for working with reclaimed hardwood. 

When Saul's army was worn down and facing the Philistines, he made a bold-sounding—but foolish—oath: no one could eat until victory was won. His rash words nearly cost his son Jonathan's life and drained the strength of his people. In this episode, we explore how emotional foolishness shows up in our own words and relationships, and how the gospel makes us secure enough to stay quiet—and brave enough to speak truth in love.

“Our dear enemies,” a French writer once called the English. Englishman John Cleese called the French “our natural enemies” and joked “if we have to fight anyone, I say let's fight the French.” With the exception of some (very important) twentieth-century alliances, the French and the English have been at each others' throats for a thousand years. Occasionally this has meant warring over land or religion or rule. But what if the battlefield were limited to the literary? What if supremacy was determined not by the sword but by the pen? In this episode, Jacke and Mike choose their sides and get ready to wage a literary battle between two proud, rivalrous, and highly literate nations. This episode, which originally aired on September 18, 2020, has not been available for several years. We hope you enjoy it.
