Retired Intelligence Detective Gary Jenkins brings you the best in mob history through his unique perspective on the mafia. In this episode of Gangland Wire, Gary Jenkins welcomes an unusual guest from the world of organized crime storytelling—cartoonist Brett Juliano, creator of the Dust Bunny Mafia comic series. Instead of traditional books or documentaries, Brett tells real Mafia stories through short, three-panel comics featuring his unique cartoon characters while staying grounded in historical research and documented sources. Brett explains how his lifelong interest in animation and storytelling evolved into a project that blends true crime history with visual humor and commentary. After moving to Chicago, he became fascinated with the city's underworld history and began transforming real mob stories into illustrated comic strips that challenge Hollywood myths and highlight lesser-known facts about organized crime. His work draws on true crime books, FBI files, court transcripts, and podcasts, including Gangland Wire itself. Each comic strip distills a real historical moment into a visual gag or ironic twist that reveals the strange reality behind mob legends. Gary and Brett discuss several Dust Bunny Mafia comics and the real events behind them: The “Sicilian Flu” Courtroom Act A humorous look at a tactic sometimes used by mob figures: appearing frail in court to gain sympathy or delay proceedings. Wiseguys who were partying the night before might suddenly appear in a wheelchair, wrapped in blankets or hooked to oxygen tanks when they walked into court. Lucky Luciano and the Myth of “Lucky” Brett examines the legendary story that Charles “Lucky” Luciano got his nickname after surviving a brutal kidnapping and beating. His comic plays with the idea that mobsters often exaggerated their own legends—especially when trying to impress people. The Kansas City Mob Search – Carl “Tuffy” DeLuna One comic comes directly from Gary Jenkins' own experience investigating the Kansas City mob. When police searched DeLuna's home in 1979, the mobster calmly offered coffee and eventually led investigators straight to the basement, where incriminating notes were stored. The scene shows how, sometimes, the truth of organized crime investigations is stranger than fiction. Bugsy Siegel in Rainy Portland Another comic explores the obscure story of Bugsy Siegel visiting Portland to meet local crime boss Al Winters, only to endure two straight weeks of rain—highlighting the contrast between Hollywood-style mob glamour and the less glamorous reality of underworld negotiations. A New Graphic Anthology on Kickstarter Brett is now launching a major new collection of his comics titled: “Family Business: An Offer You Can't Refuse.” The book will include: 130+ pages of full-color comics More than 230 true crime strips Historical commentary explaining the real story behind each comic Additional artwork parodying mob businesses and underworld culture The project will be funded through a Kickstarter campaign beginning March 24, with the finished book expected to ship later in the year once printing is completed.

Episode 373 - Help Wanted: World Champs Looking for a Running Back   RUNDOWN   Mitch and Hotshot react to the growing likelihood that the Seahawks could lose star running back Kenneth Walker in free agency, debating whether John Schneider's reluctance to franchise tag him signals a different plan at running back. The conversation explores possible draft options, Seattle's roster strategy after a Super Bowl season, and the risks of relying on a rookie backfield solution. Jason Hamilton joins Mitch to discuss his decision to step away after 24 years as the radio analyst for Washington Huskies basketball, reflecting on his journey from UW player to assistant coach to broadcaster. Hamilton explains how the move from the Pac-12 to the Big Ten dramatically changed the travel demands of the job, making it increasingly difficult to balance with his career and family life. Brady Farkas and Joe Doyle join Mitch to analyze the biggest storylines emerging from Mariners spring training, including the development of top prospects Colt Emerson, Cole Young, and Cade Anderson. The discussion covers roster realities heading toward Opening Day—why Emerson likely starts in the minors, how Brendan Donovan stabilizes the top of the lineup, and whether Brennan Davis could force his way into the outfield mix later in the season. RJ Eskanos and Dylan Travers join Mitch to break down the Seattle Kraken's precarious playoff positioning with 20 games remaining, describing the Pacific Division race as a "turtle derby" where nearly every contender is struggling. The trio discuss the team's inconsistency, the addition of volume-shooting forward Bobby McMann, Jordan Eberle's contract extension, and the surprising resurgence of goaltender Philipp Grubauer.   GUESTS   Jason Hamilton | Former University of Washington point guard and longtime Huskies basketball radio analyst Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose podcast Joe Doyle | MLB analyst, Over Slot RJ Eskanos | Emerald City Hockey Dylan Travers | Emerald City Hockey   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Seahawks Running Back Drama, Draft Speculation, and a Classic Mitch Birthday Quiz 23:25 | Jason Hamilton: Reflects on 24 Years on the Huskies Broadcast and Why the Big Ten Era Helped Prompt His Exit 52:28 | Mariners No-Table: Mariners Spring Training Check-In: Prospect Buzz, Opening Day Roster Battles, and Rotation Futures 1:19:16 | Kraken No-Table: Kraken Cling to Playoff Spot as Pacific Division "Turtle Derby" Keeps Seattle Alive 1:43:48 | Other Stuff Segment: Netflix dinosaur series recommendation with Steven Spielberg and Morgan Freeman, World Baseball Classic excitement and Shohei Ohtani's hot start, Julio Rodríguez and other Mariners contributing across WBC rosters, Trent McDuffie becomes highest-paid cornerback and joins Rams secondary, Maxx Crosby says goodbye to Raiders and heads to Ravens, March Madness bracket week and projected No. 1 seeds, Dak Prescott and Sarah Jane Ramos call off wedding, Jurickson Profar gets 162-game PED suspension, McDonald's CEO mocked for awkward Big Arch promo video, Britney Spears arrested for DUI, ancient pyramid vandalized by tour guide, Argentine youth viral animal-identifying trend, professional bowler Cameron Crow arrested on drug charges, missing woman found alive 24 years after disappearing during Christmas shopping RIPs: Robert Carradine, Neil Sedaka, Lou Holtz  

Crime Talk Store: https://scottreisch.com/crime-talk-store Two court no-shows and the "I'm sick" excuse again—because accountability is apparently optional now. Prosecutors allege Ashlee Buzzard killed her 9-year-old daughter, Melodee, during an October 2025 cross-country trip. Investigators point to disguises, a swapped license plate, and a return home alone—while she pleads not guilty and sits without bail. Judge Stephen Dunkle warns: miss March 18, and an extraction order could be next.

Dr. Taylor is a visiting scholar at Georgetown University's Center on Faith and Justice. His latest book The Violent Take It by Force offers a history of the New Apostolic Reformation movement and its role in the events of January 6th.

This powerful exploration of Romans 10 confronts us with a beautiful paradox at the heart of the gospel: salvation is freely offered to everyone who calls on the name of the Lord, yet God sovereignly knows who will respond. We're challenged to hold both truths simultaneously - divine election and human responsibility - like viewing a cone that appears as both a circle and a triangle depending on our perspective. The message emphasizes that we live in prophetically significant times, with ancient biblical prophecies about nations like Persia (modern-day Iran) unfolding before our eyes. This isn't cause for panic but for peace, because we've read the end of the book and know God remains in control. The call is urgent: we are the generation chosen to proclaim Christ in these last days. Every believer is commissioned as a preacher, sent into the mission field of daily life to share the hope within us with gentleness and respect. Our lives should radiate such peace amid chaos that others ask what makes us different. The question isn't whether God's promise is available - it's whether we'll answer the call to be those with beautiful feet who carry the good news to a world desperately needing to hear it.Sermon Notes – Romans 10:13–21  --------------------------------  DETAILED NOTES  --------------------------------  I. The Promise Is Persuasive (vv. 13, Joel 2:32)  - “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”  - No boundaries: not race, class, morality, background, or performance.  - Tension:   - God elects, calls, saves (Rom 8:29–30).   - Yet the invitation is to “everyone.”  - Analogy: cone = circle from one angle, triangle from another; we lack the extra “dimension” to fully grasp how divine sovereignty and human responsibility fit together.  - In Joel 2:32 both sides appear:   - “Everyone who calls…shall be saved.”   - “…among the survivors shall be those whom the Lord calls.”  II. The Power of Preaching (vv. 14–15; 1 Pet 3:15; 1 Cor 1:18–21)  - Paul's “how” chain (reversed):   5. Beautiful are the feet of those who preach good news.   4. They can't preach unless sent.   3. They can't hear without someone preaching.   2. They can't believe what they've never heard.   1. They can't call on whom they haven't believed.  - Foundational issue: Do we know the good news well enough to share it?  - Preaching isn't just for pastors; every believer is “sent” (Eph 4:12).  - Our lives and testimonies are part of the message; God uses “the folly” of weak people with a perfect gospel to save.  - In a world of noise, fear (wars, economy, confusion), believers' peace and confidence are a powerful witness.  III. The Problem of Unbelief (vv. 16–21)  1. Lack of Faith  - Faith comes by hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ (v.17).  - Salvation is received only by faith in Christ's finished work (Rom 5:2; Eph 2:8; Heb 11).  - We are more “blessed” than those who saw Jesus physically but did not have to (John 20:29).  2. Willful Ignorance / Suppression (Ps 19; Rom 1)  - Creation universally proclaims God's glory; no one has a valid excuse.  - Evolution and materialism often used to dodge accountability to a Creator.  - If there is a Creator and an Author, then His standards are binding.  3. Pride (esp. Israel's example)  - Israel had maximum revelation yet often refused God.  - Called to be a light to the nations (Isa 49:6; Mic 4:1–2) but hoarded truth instead.  - Jonah: a prophet who would “rather die” than see Gentiles repent; a picture of nationalistic pride and spiritual hard-heartedness.  4. Love of Sin (John 3:16–21; Rom 1:32)  - People love darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil.  - Not only practice sin but approve of others who do.  - We resist God like a child shouting “no” to every loving boundary.  IV. Our Moment in History  - Rapid fulfillment of prophecy; increasing pressure and confusion.  - God is purifying a people who:   - Hold to His Word,   - Refuse to compromise,   - Stand with biblical clarity in a dark, chaotic age.  --------------------------------  PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS  --------------------------------  1. Clarify the Gospel  - Write out the gospel in a few sentences; practice explaining it simply.  2. Live as “Sent Ones”  - Ask daily: “Lord, who are you sending me to today?”  - Look for people who notice your peace, then share the reason for your hope (1 Pet 3:15).  3. Strengthen Your Faith  - Spend regular time in Scripture—especially Romans, John, and Psalms—to deepen confidence in Christ.  4. Confront Pride and Sin  - Ask the Spirit to reveal areas where you:   - Assume you “deserve” salvation, or   - Refuse to surrender favorite sins. Repent quickly.  5. Grow in Bold, Gentle Witness  - Pray for boldness + gentleness.  - Set a goal: share your testimony or the gospel with at least one person this week.  --------------------------------  DISCUSSION QUESTIONS  --------------------------------  1. How do you personally hold together “everyone who calls” and God's sovereign election without dismissing either?  2. On a scale of 1–10, how prepared do you feel to explain the gospel? What would help you grow?  3. Where have you seen God use your story (testimony) to impact someone else?  4. Which obstacle to belief hits closest to home for you: lack of faith, pride, or love of sin? Why?  5. In what ways might we be acting like Jonah—resenting or avoiding certain people or groups God wants to reach?  6. What specific steps can your group take to live more as “sent ones” in your workplaces, schools, and neighborhoods?

Would you like to have an unstoppable relationship? On this week's episode of Love University, we explore one of the most decisive factors in long-term happiness and relational success: the psychological level of the people you choose to build your life with. Relationships are not neutral. They either strengthen your inner world or weaken it. They either expand your LoveQ or drain it. The difference is not based on status, wealth, intelligence, or surface chemistry. It comes down to emotional maturity and inner development. Here are four core principles for creating unstoppable relationships: Learn to Recognize Invincibility Seekers Invincibility Seekers are individuals committed to inner growth. They work on their thoughts, emotional reactions, and character. They cultivate compassion, patience, confidence, and integrity. When you're around them, you feel steadier and more grounded. These individuals do not need to dominate conversations or prove superiority. Their strength is calm and contained. They handle conflict with maturity. They're kind whether they gain something from you or not. Their presence encourages you to become better without pressuring you to perform. Over time, being aligned with Invincibility Seekers elevates your own psychological level and deepens your capacity for lasting love. See Through the Masks of Negativity Seekers Negativity Seekers are people who complain, gossip, and maintain a negative outlook on life. Don't be fooled. They can appear attractive and charming at first. They may be witty, confident, and engaging. Yet beneath the surface, there is often chronic criticism, entitlement, and emotional volatility. Their kindness frequently depends on what they are receiving. Watch how someone behaves when they can no longer get something from you. Do they remain respectful, or do they become dismissive and hostile? Negativity Seekers often thrive on behind the back talk, argument, and drama because it gives them stimulation and a false sense of power. Over time, their instability drains the emotional reserves of those closest to them. Recognizing this early protects your peace and keeps you from being in a relationship that can cause you long-term damage. Protect Your Psychological Integrity It is not always possible to avoid Negativity Seekers. They may be coworkers, relatives, or even romantic partners. In these cases, emotional boundaries become essential. You must learn to separate your internal state from their external behavior. Refuse to accept anger, gossip, or criticism as emotional currency. When negativity is offered, decline it internally. Maintain composure and steadiness. When you refuse to absorb their emotional turbulence, you conserve your energy and preserve your Invincibility. Your inner power remains intact because you don't sacrifice your integrity for temporary approval or excitement. Attract Your Own Level of Development People connect at similar psychological levels. Insecurity attracts control. Criticism attracts defensiveness. Emotional immaturity attracts chaos. If you repeatedly encounter draining relationships, examine your own internal standards. As you strengthen your self-respect, emotional control, and self-compassion, your relational landscape changes. You stop tolerating behavior that diminishes you. You begin attracting individuals who operate from stability, growth, and generosity. Invincibility Seekers recognize one another because they share a commitment to development and integrity. When you become the kind of person who values growth and emotional strength, you naturally align with others who do the same. An unstoppable relationship with an Invincibility Seeker is your greatest prize. Start developing one today and your life will rise with love and joy.

According to Proverbs 15:15 (AMPC):  'All the days of the desponding and afflicted are made evil [by anxious thoughts and forebodings], but he who has a glad heart has a continual feast [regardless of circumstances].'This week we focus on guarding our hearts and minds, so that what we think, believe and ponder on remains fixed on that which lines up with the very Word of the Living God Almighty. Else we permit evil circumstances to come against us each day, regardless of our knowledge or ignorance of these principles. Worse, we question or even blame our Heavenly Father on how he could have allowed us to have such a bad day!This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC):  Psalm 119:89; Isaiah 40:8; Hebrews 13:8; Proverbs 15:15; Psalm 118:24; Isaiah 1:18; Revelation 3:20; Colossians 1:13; 2 Timothy 5:16; Psalm 138:22; Peter 3:9; Matthew 7:13-14; 2 Corinthians 5:21; 2 Corinthians 4:4.Support the showClick Here to Send Us Your Prayer Request.

Friendship breakups are one of the hardest conversations no one talks about. In this episode of Call Her Creator, Katelyn Rhoades dives into a topic many women quietly struggle with: what to do when a friendship no longer feels safe, supportive, or aligned. How do you know if you're simply outgrowing someone… or if it's time to walk away completely? Katelyn shares the five subtle signs that a friendship may no longer be healthy, including what it looks like when loyalty disappears, when competition replaces celebration, and when you constantly feel like you have to explain your life. You'll also learn how to raise your friendship standards, protect your peace, and build a circle of women who genuinely celebrate your growth. Because the truth is: real friends protect your name even when you're not in the room. If you've ever questioned a friendship, felt drained after time with someone, or wondered whether it's time to move on, this conversation will give you the clarity and confidence to trust yourself. In this episode we talk about: • The subtle signs a friendship isn't as supportive as it seems • Why loyalty is a non-negotiable standard • How to recognize when someone doesn't protect your name • Why outgrowing friendships is a normal part of growth • How to build healthier, more aligned friendships If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to follow Call Her Creator and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

In this episode, I'm sharing the things I refuse to do as a woman who loves fashion and personal style.There are so many unspoken rules around style — what we should wear, how often we should buy clothes, and how much we're “allowed” to enjoy getting dressed. But personal style should feel expressive, fun, and completely your own.In this conversation, I talk about why I refuse to:Let anyone tell me what I can and can't wearJustify every fashion purchaseWorry about how many times I get changed in a dayGatekeep where my clothes are fromDress the same as my friendsHold back on complimenting other womenFeel pressure to always be in “stylish mode”This episode is about letting go of style rules, dressing for yourself, and enjoying fashion without apology.Discover cabi Clothings SS26 collectionFor an easy jean shop online or if you love the sound of the Snaphot jacket that I have not stopped wearing, then be sure to check out the Spring/Summer collection with cabi!

“The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.” Psalm 13 A man stole two sheep and thought he could seal the theft with holy words. He walked toward the monastery with perjury already formed in his mouth. He believed that if he spoke boldly enough before the relics, heaven would remain silent. This is how sin matures. Not in ignorance, but in presumption. He did not merely lie. He invoked God as witness to his lie. We imagine that oaths make us strong. In truth they expose our pride. The man who swears lightly believes he commands reality. The fathers say it is better not to swear at all. Even truth becomes dangerous when uttered without trembling. Kyriakos feared losing two sheep more than losing his soul. And so the mercy of God came to him as blows. We recoil at the severity. But what is more severe. A body struck in the night or a conscience hardened forever. The vision stripped him of speech. That is the beginning of repentance. The tongue that dared to manipulate God fell silent before Him. And then we are told something equally sharp. Another man swore not to forgive. He placed hatred beneath the Cross and called it fidelity. How often do we do the same. We baptize resentment with pious language. We defend our implacability as righteousness. We call stubbornness integrity. The elder smiled because he saw the absurdity. To swear by Christ in order to disobey Christ is madness. Repentance broke the oath. Mercy broke pride. Reconciliation restored life. Then the mothers and fathers speak of something quieter but just as deadly. Calumny. We think murder requires blood. The desert says it begins with a whisper. To listen to slander is already to participate in it. The ear becomes the accomplice of the tongue. The heart is kneaded with yeast that does not belong to it. St Synkletike says some people feed on this. It is recreation. We leave prayer and feed on stories about others. We speak of faults not to heal but to taste superiority. When we do this, prayer rots. The face of our brother becomes distorted. We no longer see an icon. We see an accusation. The fathers tell us to become as one who hears not. This is harder than speaking. Silence requires humility. It requires the refusal to be entertained by another's fall. The man who guards his tongue guards his soul. The man who refuses to swear lightly refuses to command God. The man who will not receive a vain report protects Paradise at the gate of his ear. We want refined spirituality. The desert gives us something simpler. Fear God. Guard your mouth. Refuse the whisper. Break the oath of hatred. And if you have dared to lie before Him, fall silent quickly. Better a bruised pride than a hardened heart. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:01:44 Bob Čihák, AZ: P 360, Hypothesis 48, A 00:10:52 Anna Lalonde: Hey Fr Charbel!

It's March.The January energy has faded. The motivation posts are quieter. And this is where the real long game begins.In this sepisode, I lay out 10 non-negotiables for athletes who plan to keep performing — not just this year, but for decades.This isn't about hype. It isn't about biohacking. And it definitely isn't about chasing trends.It's about durability.Drawing from over 100 conversations with top athletes, as well as, coaches, and scientists on Ageless Athlete,— I unpack what actually holds up.We cover:Why longevity medicine is being over-marketed — and what truly scalesThe role of deliberate novelty in protecting your brainWhy the current nutrition culture war is distracting athletesMuscle as structural insurance after 35The danger of outsourcing discipline to dataHow to use the healthcare you already have (most of it covered by insurance)Why sleep isn't revolutionary — but foundationalIdentity as a performance anchorCommunity as a biological variable, not a luxuryAnd why you have to stop blaming your ageThis episode is less about motivation and more about ownership.You don't stop doing things because you age. You age because you stop doing things.If you plan to stay strong, sharp, and capable in 2026 — this is your reset.---

The Mental Load of a Catholic Mom (And What You Can Let Go Of) The "mental load" of motherhood has been all over the internet lately — and often the conversation turns into women vs. men. But before we talk about who should share the load… We need to ask a harder question: Should you be carrying all of it in the first place? In this episode, we take a deeper look at the invisible weight Catholic moms carry — especially the mental load of imaginary futures and unnecessary worries. We talk about: The difference between real problems and imagined ones Why sibling bickering does NOT predict their adult relationship How future "doom stories" drain your energy The schooling anxiety spiral (and how to step out of it) The pressure to give your kids the "perfect childhood" Why prudence includes choosing what not to think about How to bring your mental load to the Lord before bringing it to your husband Before you make a list of everything you're thinking about and ask your husband to share it, pause. Some of the things on that list may not belong there at all. God does not give grace for imaginary burdens. He gives grace for what is real — today. Interior peace grows when we: Discern what is actually ours to carry Release the rest Refuse to live in constant future fear You don't have to carry everything. And you were never meant to.

What if being “good” was never meant to protect us?In this powerful conversation, I'm joined by the incredible Savala Nolan (back for the second time) to talk about her new book Good Woman: A Reckoning, which is a lyrical, unflinching exploration of the expectations placed on women's bodies, voices, marriages, appetites, and lives.We explore what happens when the bargain of goodness stops “working” and what becomes possible when we refuse it.Tune in for more on:* The myth that being “good” (thin, quiet, agreeable) will keep women safe* Midlife as rupture: dieting, divorce, and the unraveling of social conditioning* Body liberation as a daily practice — especially in the age of GLP-1s* What it means to become “illegible” to misogynistic culture* Raising daughters who are fluent in their bodies, not afraid of themThis is a conversation about wilderness, refusal, and the kind of freedom that feels both exciting and terrifying because of its importance and truth.Find Savala on IG: https://www.instagram.com/savalanolan/Order "Good Woman" here: https://savalanolan.com/Savala's Substack: https://savala.substack.com/Support the show: Enjoying this podcast?

John Ortberg builds on a surprising Lenten invitation echoed even by the Pope: fast from harsh words. Disarm your language. Refuse contempt.John revisits what condemnation actually is — not discernment, not moral clarity — but a toxic mix of malice (ill will) and disgust (repulsion) toward another person.Then he offers one simple, powerful practice that makes condemnation nearly impossible while you're doing it:Listen.Drawing from Scripture, including Acts 7 (where Stephen's accusers literally cover their ears), and insights from The Lost Art of Listening by Michael Nichols and Martha Straus, John explores why we overestimate our listening ability — and why the higher our emotions run, the less we tend to listen.It turns out it's very difficult to listen deeply and condemn someone at the same time.James writes, “Be quick to listen.”That might be the most subversive spiritual discipline of our time.Because curiosity softens judgment.Listening interrupts contempt.And blessing grows where condemnation used to live.There is now… therefore… no condemnation.

Last week, Democrats were challenged with a simple question: Does the American government exist to protect American citizens — or illegal aliens? They refused to stand. Today's episode connects the dots between border policy, national security, Iranian nationals released into the U.S., sanctuary cities, and the broader geopolitical reshuffling following U.S. military action against Iran. We examine: Over 1,200 Iranian nationals reportedly released into the U.S. under Joe Biden Over 2 million known “gotaways” at the southern border A former member of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps allegedly released in Minneapolis The role of sanctuary policies The global fallout from U.S. strikes and the strategic implications for Russia, China, oil markets, and the dollar Plus: Is this Iraq 2.0 — or something very different? Opening Tease (On-Air Hook) If the first duty of government is to protect its citizens… why won't some leaders say so out loud? And how many unknown individuals crossed the border while Washington looked the other way? Key Topics Covered

"Donald Trump, in conjunction with Israel, has launched a murderous, illegitimate, and illegal war against the sovereign country of Iran—openly aimed at regime change. This is an unprovoked war of aggression, the supreme war crime, and it must be stopped now."-from the new statement posted to RefuseFascism.orgFriday afternoon, prior to the unprovoked attack that the US and Israel launched early Saturday morning, Sam Goldman and Paul Street recorded a conversation about Trump's extremely long State of the Union speech and where things stand in the US in relation to the consolidation of fascism, including the moves towards war against Iran that were already clearly being made.Resources:Stop the Illegitimate & Illegal War on Iran: Get in the Streets — TRUMP MUST GO NOW!A Fascist State of the Union Address, A Dismal Democratic Rebuttal, An Intolerable Situation: Trump Must Go Now!The Paul Street ReportThe incoherence at the heart of Trump's latest, biggest war by Zach BeauchampTo get involved, text REFUSE to 855-755-1314 or ⁠⁠sign up online⁠⁠, follow @RefuseFascism on social media (@RefuseFashizm on TikTok) and our YouTube channel: @Refuse_Fascism.Support:⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to Refuse Fascism on Substack⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/refusefascism⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠donate.refusefascism.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Venmo: Refuse-Fascism⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy merch (Big Cartel)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy merch (Fourth Wall)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Music for this episode: Penny the Snitch by Ikebe Shakedown

Welcome to The DMF — Discovering Meaning in Film and Acting. I'm Justin Younts, and in Part 2 of my conversation with Emmy-winning filmmaker and producer Leif Bristow, we dive into the ethical challenges of working in Hollywood and the values that guide his filmmaking career.Leif shares why he made an early decision to avoid projects that glorify violence or rely on exploitative themes. Instead, he focuses on the power of suggestion over graphic content, creating films that uplift audiences and emphasize resilience, strength, and meaningful storytelling.In this episode, we explore:The dark side of Hollywood filmmakingEthical film production decisionsFamily-friendly content in a competitive marketCreating strong female leads and role modelsProducing films with purpose and integrityEmpowering women through storytellingAs a producer of over 40 films, Leif discusses how his personal life — including being a father to daughters — has influenced his commitment to portraying women as strong, capable, and multidimensional characters.We also examine the broader question facing filmmakers today: Can you build a successful career without compromising your values?Whether you're an actor, filmmaker, producer, or creative professional, this episode offers insight into maintaining integrity in an industry often driven by trends and commercial pressure.Join us as we explore how storytelling can inspire, empower, and create lasting impact.00:00:00 - Introduction00:00:05 - Transition to Directing00:00:18 - Personal Directing Philosophy00:01:51 - Preference for Family Friendly Content00:02:45 - Success of Family Friendly Movies00:04:15 - Making Movies for Hallmark00:05:06 - About the Aggies Book00:08:33 - Cultural Differences and Similarities00:10:35 - Relating to Other Cultures00:11:54 - Repeating Atrocities00:12:12 - Origin of Dancing Through the Shadow00:12:27 - Writing Process00:14:52 - Challenges of Making the Movie00:15:24 - Filming Challenges Due to COVID-1900:16:49 - Adapting the Book into a Movie00:21:48 - Choosing the Filming Locations00:23:39 - Directing Actors00:23:39 - Working with Family00:26:30 - Relationship with Jonathan Rhys-Davies00:28:00 - Working with Hallmark00:31:25 - Future Projects00:32:22 - Closing Remarks00:33:18 - Inside the Actor's Studio Questions00:35:21 - Contact Information and Closing

At the heart of Romans 10 lies one of the most liberating truths in all of Scripture: salvation is not a distant prize we must climb mountains to reach, but a gift placed within arm's reach. This passage dismantles the exhausting treadmill of performance-based righteousness and reveals that God is not far off, demanding we ascend to heaven or descend into the abyss to find Him. Instead, He came to us. The message explores how we've often overcomplicated what God made beautifully simple—that if we confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in our heart that God raised Him from the dead, we will be saved. This isn't about checking boxes or accumulating enough church attendance or service hours. It's about genuine faith that wells up from within and spills out in confession. The distinction between righteousness based on law versus righteousness based on faith becomes crystal clear: one leads to endless emptiness, the other to complete fulfillment. For those of us striving to earn what has already been freely given, this message offers profound relief. For those who have believed but never publicly confessed, it issues a gentle but urgent invitation. And for all of us, it reminds us that the word is near—in our mouths and in our hearts—not because we've worked hard enough, but because God, in His mercy, brought it to us.**Sermon Notes – Romans 10:5–15 – “The Message of Salvation to All”**---### 1. Righteousness Based on the Law → Emptiness (vv.5; Lev. 18:5; James 2:10)- Paul quotes Moses (Lev. 18:5): “The person who does the commandments shall live by them.”- To be righteous by law you must keep *all* of it, perfectly.- The law was never meant to *save* but to: - Reveal God's standard. - Expose our sin and inability. - Point to our need for a Savior.- When we base our standing with God on works (church attendance, serving, morality), it produces: - Constant insecurity. - Pride if we think we're doing well; despair if we know we're not.- Ephesians 2:4–9: We are saved by grace through faith, *not* works, so no one may boast.---### 2. Righteousness Based on Faith → Fulfillment (vv.6–8; Deut. 30:11–14)- Paul uses Deut. 30 to say: the word is *near* you—in your mouth and heart.- We don't “ascend to heaven” or “descend to the abyss” to reach Christ: - We can't climb up to God. - God came down to us in Christ.- God is not distant: - “The Lord is near to all who call on him” (Ps. 145:18). - “Near to the brokenhearted” (Ps. 34:18).- True fulfillment is not in success, family, money, or “the American dream,” but in trusting Christ and His finished work.---### 3. How We Are Saved (vv.9–13)- v.9–10:   - Confess with your mouth that **Jesus is Lord**.   - Believe in your heart that **God raised Him from the dead**.   - You *will* be saved.- Believe → justified.   Confess → saved (public identification with Christ).- This is simple, but not superficial: - Acknowledge your sin (Rom. 3:23). - Believe in Christ's death and resurrection. - Confess Him openly (baptism is a commanded, public expression—but not what saves).- Luke 23 thief on the cross: - No time for works or rituals. - Belief and confession → “Today you will be with me in paradise.”- v.11–13: “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame… Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” - No distinction: Jew/Greek. Same Lord. Same way of salvation.---### 4. Sent to Share (vv.13–15)- v.14–15: How will they call, believe, or hear without someone preaching? - “Preaching” here is not just pastors—every believer bears witness.- God raises up future pastors, missionaries, disciple-makers from each generation.- The church must: - Invest in the next generation. - Refuse to idolize methods or traditions; cling to the unchanging gospel.---## Practical Applications1. **Stop Trying to Earn It**  - Identify where you still try to “pay God back” with works.  - Repent of self-righteousness; rest in grace.2. **Examine: Have You Both Believed and Confessed?**  - Have you trusted Christ personally?  - Have you ever clearly told others or been baptized as a believer? If not, take that step.3. **Lean Into God's Nearness**  - When He feels distant, preach Deut. 30:14; Ps. 34:18 to yourself.  - Bring your brokenness honestly before Him.4. **Own Your Mission Field**  - Where you live, work, and play is your assignment.  - This week: intentionally share your story or an aspect of the gospel with one person.5. **Invest in the Next Generation**  - Pray for and encourage students and kids.  - Consider serving in ministries that disciple them.---## Discussion Questions1. Where have you personally tried to base your righteousness on “law” or performance? What fruit did that produce?2. How does knowing God is *near* (Deut. 30; Psalms) change how you handle seasons when He *feels* far?3. Have you both believed in your heart and confessed with your mouth that Jesus is Lord? What did/does that confession look like?4. Why is it vital that the church adapt methods (but not the message) to reach the next generation?5. Who in your life “cannot hear” unless you speak? What's one concrete step you can take this week to share Christ with them?

Episode Overview In this powerful episode of the Agent to CEO Podcast, John Kitchens sits down with Chad Smith for a deep conversation on leadership, faith, discipline, and building a real estate business that actually lasts. Chad shares his incredible journey—from chasing a music career and hitting rock bottom at 23, to rebuilding his life through faith, mentorship, and personal responsibility. He walks through how foundational principles—not tactics—became the key to scaling a $100M+ real estate team, leading hundreds of agents, and maintaining a 20+ year commitment to faith, family, and purpose. This is not a "hacks and scripts" conversation. This is about priority structure, uncommon honor, servant leadership, and what it truly takes to win long-term. If you want seven-figure success without sacrificing what matters most, this episode will challenge and sharpen you. Chad's Origin Story: From Rock Bottom to Real Estate Leadership Walking away from a soccer scholarship to pursue music Playing the Whiskey A Go Go in Hollywood at 20 years old Facing rejection and spiraling into rock bottom by age 23 The life-changing influence of his uncle and exposure to Rich Dad, Poor Dad Discovering a new framework for life through faith and the "Man of Honor" message Committing to a priority structure that changed everything Chad made a declaration early: He would never become a "shooting star" again. The Priority Structure That Changed His Life Chad breaks down the foundation that drives every decision he makes: Faith Marriage Children Excellence in business to serve others Rather than building business at the expense of family, Chad built leadership capacity so he wouldn't have to choose between success and presence. He hasn't worked nights or weekends since 2009—and his production scaled because of it, not in spite of it. Uncommon Honor: The Core Value That Scales Culture Chad introduces the concept of Uncommon Honor, a leadership philosophy that drives his team culture. What it means: Honor those who showed you the way Honor your peers Honor those who can't "help" you Tell the truth—even when it's uncomfortable Protect the environment at all costs "If at any point I'm unwilling to say what needs to be said, that's the moment the environment begins to die." This is servant leadership without weakness. Truth with courage. Culture without compromise. The Leadership Shift: From Competitor to Capacity Builder Chad shares a powerful mindset shift: If you're threatened by your team's greatness, you'll never scale. He lives by this commitment: "I'm not afraid of you being great." Key leadership insights: Every dream is a dream inside a dream The moment a leader becomes a limiting factor to talent is the moment the relationship ends Competition is rooted in scarcity True growth comes from competing against your own potential This is the shift from ego-driven leadership to legacy-driven leadership. Building a $100M+ Team Without Losing Alignment Chad details how he: Went from individual agent of the year to scaling leadership capacity Helped grow a Keller Williams office to one of the most profitable in the world Sold 371 homes in a 12-month period with a lean, disciplined team Built core values intentionally—not aspirationally Created "The Real Solution" coaching community rooted in long-term principles His focus isn't hype. It's systems, discipline, daily consistency, and alignment. The Real Solution vs. The Easy Button Chad challenges the modern "magic bullet" mentality. In a world obsessed with shortcuts, he built growth through: Daily consistency (260+ live leadership sessions per year) Clear values Intentional mentorship Long-term commitment "You either train the algorithm, or the algorithm trains you." This is about discipline over distraction. Foundation over flash. Books & Influences Mentioned Rich Dad, Poor Dad – Robert Kiyosaki The Success System That Never Fails – W. Clement Stone Wooten on Leadership – John Wooden John Maxwell leadership books Resources & Connect with Chad Instagram: @ChadSmithRealSolution Website: TheRealSolution.com Team: DFW Real Estate Team Final Takeaway This episode isn't about better scripts. It's about better structure. If you want to scale your real estate business without sacrificing your marriage, your kids, or your integrity, you must: Get your priority structure right Lead with uncommon honor Refuse to compete from scarcity Never become a limiting factor to your team Commit to consistency over hype Seven-figure success doesn't start with tactics. It starts with thinking like a CEO—and leading like a servant.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they dissect President Trump making the Democrats look heartless and crazy in their refusal to applaud almost anything, Trump's reluctance to pursue an aggressive legislative agenda this year, Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger's forgettable rebuttal to Trump's speech, and the truly insane event Dems put on during the speech.First, they explain what they liked about the speech, including Trump exposing that Democrats oppose the protection of citizens over illegal aliens and or stopping schools or local governments from transitioning minors without the knowledge or consent of parents. Democrats also refused to clap for families traumatized by violent crime and even seemed pretty unenthused about the Olympic champion hockey team. Talk about an own goal!Next, they scratch their heads at news that President Trump doesn't want to pursue another reconciliation bill in Congress this year to pass more GOP fiscal priorities while Republicans still hold majorities on both sides of Capitol Hill. Jim and Greg urge him to reconsider and point to the value such an agenda would have on the midterms.Finally, they pan the Democrats' rebuttal delivered by Gov. Spanberger, noting what they see as hypocrisy on some issues and incoherence on others. They also highlight the thoroughly bizarre event lefties ran in opposition to the State of the Union.Please visit our great sponsors:Take your personal data back with Incogni—use code 3ML for 60% off an annual plan at https://Incogni.com/3MLLive better, longer with BUBS Naturals.

Last night's State of the Union exposed a shocking reality: Democrats refused to stand for key moments Americans can agree on. From criminal justice and military achievements to protecting children and economic wins, the contrast was stark. Republicans stood and applauded, while Democrats sat, glared, and refused to acknowledge success. We break down the most viral, jaw-dropping moments that should be seen by every American.

Last night's State of the Union was historic and unprecedented. President Trump highlighted record-breaking policy victories—reducing crime, ending wars, lowering gas prices, cutting illegal immigration, and saving lives from fentanyl. He also shared the emotional story of Sage Blair, a teen forced into a gender transition by her school, and spotlighted failures in U.S. government accountability. Meanwhile, Democrats repeatedly sat, glared, and refused to stand, exposing deep partisan divides. Trump called out Republican obstructionists like John Thune and revealed new intelligence on Iran's missile threat. This episode breaks down the shocking moments, policy wins, and viral clips from a speech crafted perfectly for social media.

  What happens when you feel outside pressure to make work that doesn't feel like you? In this episode, Kat sits down with Philadelphia-based artist and curator Jessica Libor for a deeply honest conversation about identity, persistence, and building a creative life on your own terms. Jessica shares the story of applying to the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts several times before getting in, navigating the tension between her love of fairy tales and beautiful imagery and an academic environment heavily influenced by postmodern aesthetics. She opens up about making dark, tortured paintings to fit in - and how she eventually found her way back to the work she was always meant to make. They also dig into how Jessica launched Era Contemporary, her own gallery and curatorial project, and why creating your own opportunities is sometimes the most powerful move an artist can make. You'll also hear about the mindset tools Jessica swears by - from attending high-end exhibitions and imagining yourself in the room as an exhibiting artist, to journaling and scripting her ideal creative life. She also shares the manifestation story behind getting into Spring Break Art Fair, one of New York's most exciting independent art events. This episode is full of honest reflection on imposter syndrome, developing a personal aesthetic under pressure, and what it really means to stay connected to your North Star as an artist.

Status, Power, Influence, Like Refuse Paul Threw It All Out MESSAGE SUMMARY: What are we truly aiming for in life? This powerful message challenges us to examine our ultimate goals and purpose. Drawing from Philippians 3:7-15, we're invited to reflect on the Apostle Paul's radical transformation - from chasing earthly accolades to pursuing an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. Paul's journey reminds us that success without Christ isn't true success at all. The message encourages us to shift our focus from temporary achievements to lasting transformation, emphasizing that our identity should be rooted in our relationship with Jesus, not in our accomplishments or status. As we contemplate our own lives, we're urged to consider: are we striving for Christ-centered righteousness or merely following religious rules? This introspection can lead us to a deeper, more purposeful faith journey.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, everything in me resists following you into the garden of Gethsemane to fall on my face to the ground before you. Grant me the courage to follow you all the way to the cross, whatever that might mean for my life. And then, by your grace, lead me to resurrection life and power. In Jesus' name, amen.   Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 100). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Hatred. Rather, I will abide in the Lord's Love. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5).
