What does true belonging look like when the society you live in is not something you want to "belong" to? In Liturgies for Resisting Empire, Cuban American theologian and writer Kat Armas provides a roadmap for Christians seeking a countercultural way of living that prioritizes community and humanity over dominance and power.

Feeling disconnected or unsure? Dr. Pat suggests: Body Check-In: When you consume news about social or political issues, what sensations do you notice in your body? Do you feel tense, numb, energized?Triggers and Ancestry: Think about a recent moment you felt fear or shut down in response to authority or conflict. How might this reaction connect to your community's historical or ancestral experiences?Finding Ventral Vagal: What people, places, or practices help you feel safe and connected? How can you incorporate more of these in daily life, especially when fear in society is high?From Reaction to Response: Recall a time you reacted in anger or froze up around an authoritarian figure/stressor. With compassion for yourself, consider how, if you had felt more grounded or supported, you might have responded differently? What support or boundaries would help in future similar situations?Collective Care: How can you contribute to a sense of safety and solidarity in your community? Could you start a trauma-informed discussion group, a community care circle, or simply check on neighbors more often?SOURCE: https://everythingispolitical.com/readings/your-nervous-system-under-fascism-a-decolonial-polyvagal-explorationDr. Pat's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pat.radical.therapist/?hl=enDr. Pat's substack: https://patradicaltherapist.substack.com/Dr. Pat's original post: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1281714603957641&set=pcb.1281714660624302Resources for Resisting a Coup: https://makeyourdamnbed.medium.com/practical-guides-to-resisting-a-coup-b44571b9ad66SUPPORT JULIE (and the show!): https://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bedDONATE to the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund: www.pcrf.netGET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcastOR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastOR WATCH ON YOUTUBE: www.youtube.com/juliemerica The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.

In the 18th chapter of the gospel of John, we see the Religious Leaders demonstrate six symptoms of resisting Jesus. The resistance begins small and continues to escalate until there is absolute rejection of Jesus. It is so bad that the Religious Leaders do not recognize who it is that stands before them despite the teachings and miracles Jesus did.

Our brains are malleable, and we can actually enrich our experiences to encourage more "plasticity" or adaptability in our own heads - if we know what to look for.

Think about a good joke. If you knew the punchline right away? It's less funny. If you had to have the punchline explained? Less funny. But if you understood the punchline within a few moments, and got the satisfaction of "realization" in real time? That makes a BANGER of a joke. It's all about the appropriate level of challenge and thinking. According to Daniel Willingham's book, "Why Students Don't Like School?" Curiosity is fragile. Learning is difficult as hell. Our brains are built for efficiency, not thinking. We can trick our brains into motivation by worrying about the difficulty of the challenge, rather than the topic or the content. We rely on our memories more than our thinking brain.SOURCES:Read Daniel's article for yourself, here: https://www.aft.org/sites/default/files/WILLINGHAM%282%29.pdfCheck out his website + other work: http://www.danielwillingham.com/books.htmlOr read this synopsis of the book: https://classteaching.wordpress.com/2014/04/24/why-dont-students-like-school/Resources for Resisting a Coup: https://makeyourdamnbed.medium.com/practical-guides-to-resisting-a-coup-b44571b9ad66SUPPORT JULIE (and the show!): https://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bedDONATE to the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund: www.pcrf.netGET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcastOR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastOR WATCH ON YOUTUBE: www.youtube.com/juliemerica The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.

When I'm having a rough time, trying to treat myself like I liked to treat my students, with empathy, compassion, patience, kindness, attention, care, time, etc. and in an effort to build muscles that can provide them with that empathy, compassion, patience, kindness, attention, time, care, etc. for themselves? I feel like the everyday things that I sometimes struggle with, are more doable. More approachable.

Too many pastors live with a low-grade ache that their ministry—and they themselves—simply don't measure up. Quietly, comparison creeps in. We look at the growth of others' churches, their charisma, their staff, their buildings… and wonder, What's wrong with me? In today's episode, I share deeply from my own journey of wrestling with these very questions. I was driven, angry, and often frustrated with my people and context—trying to build something God never asked of me. But freedom came. Slowly. Through emotional honesty, interior silence, and deep formation. We'll explore: The deadly cost of living from your false self How to spot comparison in your soul (and how to resist it) Why embracing your unique call is a spiritual breakthrough The ancient desert wisdom that reshapes your ministry success metrics If you're a pastor, leader, or ministry worker who's tired of chasing an illusion of "success," this episode will give you permission to stop striving—and instead, lead from a place of joy, contentment, and union with Jesus.

Instead of trying to control others, become a consultant. "Children need thoughtful guidance and firm, enforceable limits. We set those limits based on the safety of the child and how the child's behavior affects others. Then we must maintain those limits to help children understand that they are responsible for their actions and will suffer reasonable consequences for actions that are inappropriate. However, while the parents are drawing and holding these limits, it is important for them to continue encouraging their children to think about their behavior and help them feel in control of their actions by giving choices within those limits. This is where the consultant parent comes in."

Episode 069: In today's episode, we're exploring why peace, love, or joy can sometimes feel unsafe — and why we subconsciously resist what's good for us. We'll unpack how our nervous system tries to hold on to the familiar, even when it's painful, and how we can gently expands our capacity to allow good things in.Key Takeaways:Sometimes peace, joy, or love can feel unsafe when your nervous system is more familiar with stress or striving.The body naturally seeks what's familiar, not what's optimal — even if the familiar keeps you stuck.Self-sabotage often isn't rebellion; it's your body's way of trying to stay safe in what it knows.Healing means gently expanding your capacity to feel safe in goodness — not rushing your peace.God patiently teaches us to rest in His abundance, helping us trust joy, love, and peace as holy ground.Download my FREE Heart Safety Guide: https://resouces.femininegeniuscoaching.com/heart-safety-guideConnect with me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/femininegeniuscoaching

Turning 40 isn't just about getting older—it's about waking up to what truly matters.

Brad welcomes Liz Theoharis and Charon Hribar, editors of We Pray Freedom: Liturgies and Rituals from The Freedom Church of the Poor. Both guests are key leaders in the faith-based anti-poverty movement and longtime organizers with the Poor People's Campaign. Together, they discuss how liturgy and ritual can be reclaimed as acts of collective resistance, solidarity, and hope among the poor and dispossessed. The conversation weaves through Liz and Charon's personal journeys—Liz's formation in faith-driven social justice work and Charon's discovery of liberation theology growing up in a steel town—and traces how decades of grassroots organizing through the Kairos Center inspired this new book. They explore how faith traditions, particularly Christianity, can serve as public, justice-oriented practice rather than private belief, what it means to “pray with your feet,” and how ritual itself can be political. Drawing from We Pray Freedom, the guests share powerful examples: a memorial liturgy for unhoused people at New York's Potter's Field, a reimagined Las Posadas led by migrant communities, and multi-faith celebrations like Diwali and Passover that embody joy, resilience, and defiance. They also address the current “war on the poor” in the U.S.—from healthcare cuts to attacks on education—and highlight how communities continue to organize, resist, and find joy together. This episode is both a spiritual and practical conversation about how worship, art, and music can sustain movements for justice.

"Effective parenting centers around love: love that is not permissive, love that doesn't tolerate disrespect, but also love that is powerful enough to allow kids to make mistakes and permit them to live with the consequences of those mistakes. Most mistakes do have logical consequences. And those consequences, when accompanied by empathy — our compassionate understanding of the child's disappointment, frustration, and pain — hit home with mind-changing power."

ICE agents are detaining thousands of people a day from communities across the country. But people are resisting. And it's having an impact. Millions have protested in recent weeks, from the #NoKings rally to demonstrations in front of immigration detention centers, and protests against ICE in their communities. Neighbors in one Chicago suburb pushed back by yelling and honking car horns when ICE agents descended on their community. Elsewhere they've handed out thousands of whistles to neighbors at risk. And people are lifting up their cell phone cameras and their voices, and putting their bodies on the line to foil ICE raids in cities around the country.BIG NEWS!

The book of Romans is a letter given to a community searching for peace in the midst of a world caught in the grip of violence, hatred and division. This week we will be asking questions about how this first century church in Rome wrestled with their identity in their social and political environment , perhaps in similar ways that we do today. Together we can will explore how Romans emphasizes the same subversive, peace-loving resistance taught and demonstrated by Jesus.

Join us on October 26th at 7pm for a panel on resisting state repression. The panel will feature journalist and author Will Potter, Meg Calaw with Gabriela Berkeley, civil rights and criminal defense attorney John Viola, Sara Kershnar from the International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network . RSVP for the Panel (in person and watch on our YouTube channel): https://bit.ly/ResistStateRepression WHERE: First Unitarian Church of Oakland; 685 14th St, Oakland, CA WHEN: Sunday, October 26th at 7pm; Doors open at 6:30pm DONATE: $5-$20 at the door, sliding scale, no one refused for lack of funds President Trump has designated the anti-fascist movement as a terrorist organization. While, in fact, it's an opportunity for his administration to target and destroy a broader network of left and progressive groups. We're living in challenging times with crises around war in the Middle East, renewed McCarthyist attacks on free speech, corporate domination of everyday life, escalating climate disasters and, now, a fascist takeover of our government. As Will Potter has said, “The intention is to capitalize on this to crack down on their opponents and to consolidate authoritarian power.” We're also living in a time where large numbers of people have taken to the streets to confront those responsible for these crises. Today's state repression is aimed to eliminate that opposition.

Some of the lessons I prioritize, still: Stop being so hard on yourself when you're struggling to learn or master or understand something new. You're actually doing a great job as a learner. You're exactly where you're supposed to be, trying, messing up, learning. If you knew already, you wouldn't be learning anymore. Learning is impossible to mess up, unless you give up. It's supposed to be challenging - but that doesn't have to mean frustrating. Take your time to be a learner. Tests are hard for some of us, but that doesn't mean you're dumb. Judge a fish by ability to climb a tree, and all that.

My guest today is University of Oregon professor and longtime activist, Sarah Wald.  Sarah is the author of multiple books, and as you'll hear today, a profound thinker on a wide variety of issues concerning the conservation and environmental justice communities.This is one of my favorite conversations I've ever had on this show, in part because Sarah was so game to explore some really complicated points of tension within our movements. I definitely learned a lot, and was happy to have some of my beliefs and understandings challenged. The show email is coastrangeradio@gmail.com, please reach out anytime with guest ideas, feedback, your harshest criticisms, or if you're interested in helping make this show!Research Links/Show Notes:Referenced: Tradeoff Denialism: https://scholarship.law.columbia.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=4885&context=faculty_scholarshipBill McKibben on tradeoffs and the promise of renewables: https://www.earthisland.org/journal/index.php/articles/entry/wind-and-solar-will-require-mining-but-not-as-much-as-fossil-fuels-bill-mckibben-sun-daySarah's Recommendations:The Anti-Creep Climate Initiative's zine, Against the Ecofascist Creep.Olivia Aguilar, A Latine Outdoor Experience: Remembering, Resisting, and Reimagining (2025)Carolyn Finney, Black Faces, White Spaces: Reimagining the Relationship of African Americans to the Great Outdoors (2014) Jessica Hernandez, Fresh Banana Leaves: Healing Indigenous Landscapes through Indigenous Science (2022)Tao Leigh Goffe, Dark Laboratory: On Columbus, the Caribbean, and the Origins of the Climate Crisis (2025)Tiya Miles, Wild Girls: How the Outdoors Shaped the Women Who Challenged a Nation (2023)Alexander Menrisky, Everyday Ecofascism: Crisis and Consumption in American Literature (2025)Kyle Powys Whyte “Against Crisis Epistemology” in Handbook of Critical Indigenous Studies (2021)Kyle Powys White, “Our Ancestors' Dystopia Now: Indigenous Conservation and the Anthropocene” in the Routledge Companion to the Environmental Humanities (2017)https://www.instagram.com/coastrangeradio/

And that's the beauty of math, right? There are many ways to get there, but there is one answer.It's tidy, if you're tidy. It's also why I hate math - because I am not the tidiest worker. I try to be, and am training myself to be so I can enjoy the process of things more, and actually invest in the process as much as the outcome, but when I was younger and sometimes still, I really don't have time for poorly worded instructions, and I tend to rush through shit if I don't see the point in it.Resources for Resisting a Coup: https://makeyourdamnbed.medium.com/practical-guides-to-resisting-a-coup-b44571b9ad66SUPPORT JULIE (and the show!): https://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bedDONATE to the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund: www.pcrf.netGET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcastOR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastOR WATCH ON YOUTUBE: www.youtube.com/juliemerica The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.

Is Halloween redeemable—or are we simply cutting the ears off the Playboy bunny and calling the logo "clean"? This conversation unpacks why symbols aren't neutral, how 1 Corinthians 10 guides conscience, and how families can replace "no" with a richer "yes." The invitation: celebrate saints, not séances—life, not death.

A new MP3 sermon from Generations Radio is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: What Does the Bible Say About Halloween? – Resisting a Culture of Death Speaker: Kevin Swanson Broadcaster: Generations Radio Event: Radio Broadcast Date: 10/22/2025 Length: 19 min.

In this episode, The Annuity Man discussed: Planning spousal income with precision Avoiding risky annuity strategies Building protection through legal planning Resisting sales pressure and complexity Key Takeaways: Secure your spouse's future by designing an intentional plan, not by guessing or rushing into annuities. Reverse engineer the exact income amount they will need, and let legal mechanisms trigger it at the right time. Precision brings peace of mind. Never buy annuities based on fear of death or timing. Emotional decisions lead to inflexibility and regret. Smart financial planning means keeping control until the moment it truly matters. Work with estate planning lawyers to structure income that activates when needed. Trusts can ensure seamless transitions and guaranteed income after death. Legal planning replaces guesswork with confidence. Ignore flashy pitches and confusing riders that promise more than they deliver. Financial security is built on clarity, not complexity. Simplify, stay flexible, and only commit when you understand every detail. "Death is not a good strategy, because you can only use it once." — Stan The Annuity Man Connect with The Annuity Man: Website: http://theannuityman.com/ Email: Stan@TheAnnuityMan.com Book: Owner's Manuals: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/how-do-annuities-work YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCXKKxvVslbeGAlEc5sra2g Get a Quote Today: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/annuity-calculator!

How are you dealing with our nation's constant onslaught of frightening news? Witnessing democracy itself under attack has me feeling despair more often than I'd like, and I know I'm not alone. To be honest, talking about job search strategies and leadership best practices feels a bit futile while our nation flirts with fascism.  So, on this episode, I'm taking a look at how we can continue to function when we're faced with crisis after crisis, day after day.Let's talk about how we can help—ourselves and others who may be feeling despair, too:How the overwhelm campaign is a deliberate strategy designed to shock us into submission;Why we need to start by checking in with our basic needs;The deep damage of doomscrolling;How the combination of finding meaning and taking action can create change.Related Links:American Psychological Association, Stress in America 2024 - https://www.apa.org/pubs/reports/stress-in-america/2024Frontline interview with Steve Bannon - https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/interview/steve-bannon-3/Vox, “Flood the zone with sh*t”: How misinformation overwhelmed our democracy - https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2020/1/16/20991816/impeachment-trial-trump-bannon-misinformationAmerican Friends Service Committee, “How allies can defend against ICE raids” - https://afsc.org/news/how-allies-can-defend-against-ice-raidsNational Immigrant Justice Center, “Know Your Rights: If You Encounter ICE” - https://immigrantjustice.org/for-immigrants/know-your-rights/ice-encounter/Episode 293, What 2020 Taught Me (About F-Off Funds) - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode293TAKE ACTION with Bossed Up - https://www.bossedup.org/takeactionBossed Up Courage Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/927776673968737/Bossed Up LinkedIn Group - https://www.linkedin.com/groups/7071888/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Dirt in a cog is a way to embody resistance. It focuses on slowing down, jamming up, creating little bits of friction that make it difficult to keep attacking our citizens effectively. We need all types of resistance, don't think there are limits to your modes of resistance. Make fascism hard. Don't normalize the violence we're seeing. Keep showing your community + your country that you aren't going to lie down and watch it burn. You don't have to wait for one big act of revolutionary change to start pushing back. You can push back against the shift in everyday actions + choices, if you know where to look.

Abou Amara (lawyer and democratic strategist) joins Dan Cook to discuss the current state of politics for the democratic party. Dan asks if democrats are in a place to capitalize on the momentum of the No Kings Protest. Abou speaks to the long game in winning one of the Houses of Congress back in the next election cycle. They also discuss the redistricting campaigns and the states that stand to be impacted the most.

In this episode, Brad Onishi sits down with Rev. Alba Onofrio—executive director of Soulforce and host of Teología Sin Vergüenza—for a powerful exploration of faith, queerness, and resistance. Together, they unpack how white Christian nationalism and institutions like ICE perpetuate spiritual violence against marginalized communities, and how Soulforce responds through nonviolent resistance and liberative theology. Rev. Alba shares their own remarkable story—from growing up in Appalachia and coming out, to embracing the name “Reverend Sex” and reclaiming spirituality as a site of freedom rather than shame. The conversation dives into the roots and mission of Soulforce, highlighting its Spirit Resource Library and the movement's commitment to equipping activists with tools for justice and healing. Rev. Alba reflects on the power of queer and trans ancestors, the complexity of belonging for Latinx and mixed-race individuals, and the importance of creating inclusive, full-bodied faith communities. Through Teología Sin Vergüenza, they continue to cultivate space for unapologetic conversations about faith, identity, and justice—challenging listeners to imagine a world where love and liberation guide our spiritual lives.

Joy is part of the practice. When you can't find it and don't know where to start? Start small. Start by reminding yourself that joy still exists, and it's a frequency vibrating right above our heads, and if we can just poke our heads out of this damned hole, we can find it - tap into it, and use it like the resource it is. Pay attention to the glimmers that make you feel seen. The goal is to make the next best choice. Reclaim your agency by starting with fun, whimsy, and joy.

Tactical frivolity is what happens when you use humor, whimsy, and joy to make those in power look ridiculous. It flips the script and reclaims agency. The optics matter, the message matters, and how the message arrives matters. So get involved, stop leaning into despair, and flip that damned script. Get some joy in your resistance. It's exactly what the world needs right now.

Our brains have a tendency to over-value the effect of TINY inconsequential differences when comparing options. Distinction bias is a cognitive bias that causes people to overestimate how different their options are when they compare them to each other rather than evaluating them independently, against some absolute standard. This bias often leads to an exaggerated perception of the differences between options. - ClearerThinking.orgDistinction Bias effects: https://www.clearerthinking.org/post/distinction-bias-definition-examples-and-effectsDistinction Bias Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distinction_biasNir's take on Distinction Bias: https://www.nirandfar.com/distinction-bias/Reddit's solutions: https://www.reddit.com/r/adhdwomen/comments/1ig89cd/anyone_else_agonize_over_decisions_and_then_end/Resources for Resisting a Coup: https://makeyourdamnbed.medium.com/practical-guides-to-resisting-a-coup-b44571b9ad66SUPPORT JULIE (and the show!): https://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bedDONATE to the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund: www.pcrf.netGET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcastOR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastOR WATCH ON YOUTUBE: www.youtube.com/juliemerica The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.

In this episode, I talk about how resistance blocks blessings and opportunities meant for you, why surrender is not weakness, but spiritual strategy, the link between control, fear, and delayed manifestation, how to shift from striving to receiving through trust and alignment and more.

Resisting pressure from Donald Trump, a career prosecutor has concluded that there is no probable cause to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James for mortgage fraud.Assistant United States Attorney Elizabeth Yusi has worked at the Department of Justice for more than 18 years. And now she will run the risk of being wrongfully terminated by Trump for abiding her ethical responsibility to decline to prosecute someone based on insufficient evidence that a crime was committed.For nightly live Law Talks, please join Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
