Podcasts about Respectable

On this week's podcast...We recap the AFS game, and the Real Madrid games, and look ahead to Gil Vicente.

Well, there is absolutely no question what the biggest story in the world was on Friday. Words used to describe the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew, were 'historic', 'jaw dropping', and 'stunning'. It has been described as a huge moment in the history of the modern royal family. But there were other royal commentators who weren't surprised at all with how Andrew's 66th birthday unfolded. They'd been watching the pressure build and felt Friday's events were a long time coming. If you have read Andrew Lownie's biography of Andrew and his former wife Sarah Ferguson, called Entitled, you will be familiar with the controversies during his decade lone tenure as a tax payer funded civil servant. When I spoke to Lownie last year he felt there should be a parliamentary, and crime agency, enquiry into Andrew's role as the Special Trade Envoy, and that it could lead to criminal charges. It was announced overnight that a cross party business and trade committee will meet on Tuesday to discuss exactly this. In response to the unprecedented arrest of a royal family member, Buckingham Palace made it clear the royal family had not been given a heads up that Andrew was about to be arrested and investigated for suspicion of misconduct in public office. And yet, King Charles III quickly offered up an impressive and upfront statement, giving the impression Buckingham Palace were prepared for this day too. Respectable working members of the family are already under pressure when out in public to answer questions about Andrew. With an arrest, investigation, and potential charges and a trial, this crisis could be in the public eye for years. King Charles recognises this, and by putting duty ahead of his brother in his statement he continues the institution's distancing from Andrew and his many messes. In a crisis this big, the royal family's philosophy of 'never complain, never explain' simply isn't going to cut it and is coming to an end. It is important to note that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor denies any wrong-doing, and that his arrest is not related to accusations of sexual assault or misconduct. What I find sad about all this is how hard it is for the many women raped and sexually assaulted as girls, by Jeffrey Epstein and allegedly some of his mates, to seek justice. Lawyers, academics, and ambassadors have lost their jobs, but the focus and interest has shifted to the exposure and workings of a rich and powerful global network, rather that the real victims in this story. Never-the-less, the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is a timely reminder that in the UK - at least - no one is above the law. Before they look morally bankrupt, it's time the American Department of Justice acted likewise and got back to seeking justice for the real victims in this sordid episode.

The Respectable Addiction: When Work Becomes the Coping Mechanism A reflection on burnout, identity, and recovery — plus practical action steps There's an addiction we rarely talk about because it looks like ambition. It earns praise. Promotions. Respect. It hides behind phrases like "driven," "productive," and "hard-working." But for many high achievers, work isn't just effort — it's a coping mechanism. In this episode, Dawn shares her story of a "workaholic blackout" — the moment she realized work had become her drug. After years of recovery from substances, she found herself caught in a new cycle: overwork, anxiety, identity tied to productivity, and eventual burnout. At one point, she drove home from work and had no memory of the drive. That was the moment everything shifted. What followed was a diagnosis of extreme burnout and a realization that she wasn't just "busy" — she was addicted to working.     When Work Stops Being Healthy One of the most powerful distinctions Dawn shared is this: Working hard doesn't make someone a workaholic. External pressure doesn't equal addiction. Workaholism comes from the inside. It's marked by: An internal compulsion to keep working Self-worth tied to productivity Constant thoughts about work Anxiety or guilt when not working Difficulty detaching — even during rest You can meet deadlines, put in long hours, and still be healthy. But when work becomes how you manage fear, grief, identity, or anxiety — it shifts from effort to escape.     Burnout Isn't Just Exhaustion Burnout isn't just being tired. It's a full-system collapse: Physical Emotional Mental Spiritual For many high performers, burnout mirrors an addiction "bottom." You keep pushing… until your system can't. And then something breaks. Relationships suffer. Health declines. Meaning fades. And the work that once energized you begins to feel like pressure, obligation, or proof of worth.     The Cultural Trap Our culture celebrates overworking. We glorify: Hustle Sacrifice Endless productivity "Grinding" for success But we rarely talk about the cost: Anxiety Family strain Loss of identity outside work Chronic stress Emotional detachment Workaholism is often called "the respectable addiction" because it looks admirable from the outside. Until it doesn't.     Recovery Isn't About Quitting Work Unlike substances, you can't abstain from work. Recovery is about boundaries, awareness, and redefining your relationship to productivity. Dawn shared practices that helped her rebuild balance: Under-scheduling instead of over-planning Creating "top lines" (healthy behaviors to commit to) Creating "bottom lines" (behaviors to avoid) Protecting time for joy, relationships, and rest Spiritual grounding and daily reflection Detaching self-worth from output It's less about doing less — and more about working from a different place. Not fear. Not "not enough." Not urgency. But intention.     Action Steps: Rebuilding a Healthy Relationship With Work If this episode resonated, here are simple starting points. 1) Notice the fuel behind your productivity Ask yourself: Am I working from joy… or fear? Is this aligned… or avoidance? Am I creating… or proving? 2) Separate urgency from importance Not everything urgent is important. And not everything important feels urgent. Pause before reacting. 3) Identify your "bottom lines" Examples: No work after a certain hour No phone during family time No checking email first thing in the morning 4) Define your "top lines" Healthy commitments like: Movement Hydration Connection Rest Creative time 5) Schedule spaciousness Recovery often begins with: Fewer commitments Fewer calls Fewer goals at once Space allows clarity. 6) Detach identity from productivity Practice this reframe: "I am enough — with or without what I produce today." 7) Watch for the "self-care productivity trap" Even healing can become another project. Self-care isn't something to optimize. It's something to experience.     Reflection Prompts Where is my self-worth tied to achievement? What am I avoiding by staying busy? When do I feel most at peace — and why? What would "enough" look like today?     Resources Mentioned Workaholics Anonymous literature and tools Journaling and recovery reflection practices Byron Katie's "The Work" inquiry process Anxiety and habit research (Dr. Judson Brewer) Recovery communities and peer support spaces (Referenced from episode transcript)     Final Thought You don't have to burn out to change your relationship with work. You don't have to earn rest. You don't have to prove your worth. You don't have to run on fear. There is another way to work — one rooted in clarity, presence, and enoughness. And it starts with one honest question: What's really driving me right now? Guest Contact Info:

Running a home care agency shouldn't mean your agency runs you. In this episode, home care consultant and former agency owner Becky Reel shares how leaders can build an agency rooted in their values, with clear boundaries, a healthier culture, and clients and caregivers who actually fit. Becky breaks down why most owners get into home care in the first place, how things drift off-course, and the practical moves that bring you back to a business that supports your life instead of consuming it.What you'll learnThe 4 core motivations that bring people into home care (and why naming yours matters)How to stop letting clients and caregivers set your rules, rates, and policiesThe 80/20 reality: identifying the small set of clients or caregivers creating most of your headachesWhy “culture” isn't parties and posters, it's what caregivers say when you're not in the roomHow to reduce turnover by noticing early warning signs (tone shifts, call-offs, over-documenting, fading enthusiasm)How to scale culture as you grow by hiring on heart and values, not just industry experienceWhy narrowing your service area can sometimes help you grow fasterA story you won't forget Becky tells the powerful story of a hospice case where her team did the right thing even when it meant walking away from revenue, a decision that later generated significant growth through trust, reputation, and one unforgettable review. The lesson: revenue matters, but it can't be your only metric.Episode highlightsYour “why” isn't fluff. It's your decision filter for clients, caregivers, policies, and boundaries.You can't be everything to everyone. The more selective you get, the more sustainable (and often stronger) your agency becomes.Caregivers don't stay because of pay alone. Respectable wages matter, but retention comes from consistency, communication, and feeling genuinely supported.Support beats supervision. Checking in only when there's a scheduling problem is not leadership, it's chaos management.About Becky ReelBecky Reel is the founder of Reel Home Care Consulting and former owner of For Papa's Sake, a nationally recognized home care agency.

In the midst of collapse, as we watch our governments lay waste to our social agreements, it can be hard to imagine extending the franchise of legal rights to Nature and the More than Human world.  And yet, if we're to transcend this moment, it must be because we have become something other than we are now - and to do this, we need the roadmaps that show us how to move through, and beyond, the collapse of the old into something new. We spoke to Ally Pimor about this a couple of weeks ago and when I first met her, I also met this week's guest and they had so much to say that I wanted to talk to each of them.  So with this in mind, this week's guest is Brontie Ansell, the founder and co-director of Lawyers for Nature. Brontie founded Lawyers for Nature in 2019 with the (fairly infamous) barrister Paul Powlesland, they are a collective of lawyers who act to represent Nature. They reimagine the law for Nature and advocate for Nature to be given legal rights through education, Nature centric governance, consultancy, research and advocacy. Last year Lawyers for Nature were behind the We Are Nature campaign that sought to change the dictionary definition of Nature at the Oxford English Dictionary to include humans as part of Nature. Brontie was one of the key legal architects behind the Nature on the Board project at Faith in Nature and she was the first human to act as the Nature Guardian speaking on behalf of Nature at the company Faith in Nature, giving Nature a voice and a vote on a corporate board for the first time in history. She then went on to design the legal apparatus to appoint Nature and the voice of future generations to the board of House of Hackney, a company that credits Nature as their most important muse. Most recently she was advising the Comisiwn Seilwaith Cenedlaethol Cymru/National Infrastructure Commission for Wales on their Nature Representation pilot. She features heavily in both Simeon Rose's new book Nature's Boardroom and Frieda Gormley's book In the Company of Nature. She has been a lecturer in law for 15 years, most recently at the University of Essex where she was an associate professor at Essex Law School. Brontie has taught courses on Rights of Nature, climate justice, employment law and land law. Her work is informed by the global rights of nature movement and she is grateful to all who came before her to create the bedrock for work she does. Brontie talks to me about what a society could look like if we really reformed the meaning of ‘justice for all', and started to understand Nature and aspects of Nature as a subject of law.Because of the times we're in, I felt I could not ignore the shocking events that occurred in America this past week week and so we started with a quote from Elliott Morris and Strength in Numbers, which I was confusing with another organisation - Strength in Numbers is, in fact, a Substack blog -  well worth reading. I've put a link in the show notes, along with a few others that I think are worth adding to your must-read list every morning.  Last week - with his permission - I read a bit from one of these, by Oliver Kornetzke as part of the intro (hi Ollie if you're still listening!). I'm not going to make a habit of this every week, but I want to read something from Jackie Summers blog, Field Notes for Cracking An Empire, where she says, “If you've been reading my work for the last few years, none of this should be surprising. The old narratives are gone. This is what fascism looks like in real time. First, ICE agents killed Renee Nicole Good, a white woman. Now they've murdered Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37-year-old US citizen. A nurse with no criminal record. White women's bodies were supposed to be sacrosanct. Respectable professionals were supposed to be “off-limits.” That's no longer the case. For Black people, this country has always been fascist. What's new is who else is inside the blast radius. The Venn diagram of “safe” and “endangered” is now a circle. If you're shaken, it's not just grief. It's narrative whiplash. The distance between “this can't happen” and “it just did, on camera” no longer exists. You have choices. You can either cling to the lie and let someone else keep paying. Or pay the cost of updating the story about this country. About who is “safe,” about what you're willing to do now that protections are gone. I've said it before, the empire can handle outrage. It has no defense against empathy at scale. Outrage spikes, trends, and fades. Empathy—“it can be me; it already is them”—changes what people are willing to risk and protect. This is recruitment by atrocity. Your blood spilled red in the streets, just like ours. It shouldn't take this. It always has."There follows one of the most cogent, clear, useful, grounded lists of how we can all join what has been called well-organised Anarchists. And if that's what we are, I'm not sure that's bad.  At the end, Jackie writes - If you're going out, your first job is coming home. If you're staying home, your first job is staying human.  I'm writing this from the privilege and safety of a rural home in the UK.  Wherever you are in the world, please look after each other. And for ideas on how we can transcend this moment, to start reimagining a world which sees us as humans who reconnect with each other and with Nature, and give Nature the rights it deserves to thrive, please listen on to Brontie Ansell and her beautiful models of Quiet Romance, Care, Guardianship and justice for all life. Linkshttps://www.lawyersfornature.com/https://immersives.pioneerspost.com/lawyers-leading-nature/index.htmlhttps://greenallianceblog.org.uk/2022/09/22/giving-nature-a-seat-on-the-board-is-a-powerful-way-to-make-sure-businesses-protect-our-environment/https://nationalinfrastructurecommission.wales/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/NICW_NOTB_LFN-Final-Report.pdfhttps://www.houseofhackney.com/pages/nature-our-directorhttps://www.natureontheboard.com/https://bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/professional-business/natures-boardroomhttps://www.waterstones.com/book/in-the-company-of-nature/frieda-gormley/9781645023500https://www.ukrightsofnature.org/https://wearenature.org/

I've let confession and repentance slide over the years, as I've lived as a "good" Christian woman. God has reminded me that there are no "respectable" sins.

How powerful are your words—really? In this episode, we open James 1:26 and James 3 to expose the “respectable sins” of the tongue: gossip, slander, lying, crude talk, and careless words. Scripture is clear: the tongue reveals the heart, and unchecked speech can lead to self-deception and spiritual harm.This episode is sponsored by The Master's University. To learn more about how you can invest in a college education devoted to Christ & Scripture, visit: https://www.masters.eduWe walk through five biblical realities about the tongue—why it's powerful, restless, foul, prone to lying, and deadly through gossip—and why believers must bridle the tongue for the glory of God. If you've ever brushed off gossip as “not that serious,” these passages will challenge you.Subscribe for more Bible teaching and practical discipleship conversations.

What do we reach for when life feels uncomfortable, confusing, or heavy? In this episode, we explore how distraction, numbing, and limiting beliefs can quietly keep us stuck—spiritually, emotionally, and physically. This conversation is for Christian women who want clarity instead of confusion, peace instead of just pushing through, and a faith-centered way to think about healing and forward movement. Together, we reflect on Scripture, freedom in Christ, and what it means to stop numbing and start paying attention to what God may be inviting us to face. Distraction, Numbing, and the Cost of Avoidance We live in a culture filled with noise and “respectable” distractions. While many of these things aren't inherently wrong, they can become ways we avoid discomfort, grief, or truth. Over time, numbing keeps us from facing what needs healing and from experiencing the joy that comes from walking in our calling. Freedom Has Value in Itself Galatians 5:1 reminds us that Christ set us free for freedom itself. This verse points to God's heart—freedom is not just a means to an end; it matters on its own. When we live distracted or numb, we often settle for less than what Christ already made available to us. Limiting Beliefs That Keep Us Stuck Many women carry quiet beliefs that shape their health and spiritual choices: “I've always been sick.” “I'll never change.” “The Bible is too hard to understand.” These beliefs can slowly steal motivation and hope. It Is Not Too Late to Begin Again No matter your age, history, or past decisions, it is never too late to make a different choice. While salvation is a free gift received through faith, our daily decisions still matter. The steps we take today can influence our peace, our health, and the way we live out our calling. When God Doesn't Give a Clear Answer There are seasons when we ask God for direction and don't receive a clear, immediate response. In those moments, discernment may look less like waiting and more like taking one faithful step. Sometimes God invites us to move forward and trust that He will guide us along the way. Time-Stamped Highlights 00:00 – A reflective question about numbing and healing 00:09 – Galatians 5:1 and God's heart for freedom 00:39 – The grief of wasted potential and missed joy 01:37 – How delighting in God reshapes our desires 02:07 – Respectable distractions and subtle numbing 02:32 – “Permissible vs. beneficial” and the role of boundaries 03:30 – Limiting beliefs that quietly keep us stuck 04:25 – Why it's never too late to begin again 05:25 – Salvation by grace and why our daily choices still matter 06:50 – Freedom as something God deeply values 07:15 – Cultural lies about inevitability and helplessness 08:14 – Obedience, faith, and taking the next small step 09:12 – Turning to God instead of numbing or avoiding 09:42 – Invitation to Health Clarity Sessions and quiet gathering Key Takeaways • Freedom is something Christ intentionally offers and values • Distraction and numbing can quietly keep us from healing and growth • Limiting beliefs shape what we believe is possible for our health and faith • It is never too late to change direction or take a new step • Clarity often comes after movement, not before it • God meets us in honesty, not avoidance If this episode stirred something in you and you feel overwhelmed, unsure, or disconnected from your body and direction, you don't have to navigate it alone.

Pastor Mark Hernandez finsihes up our Respectable Sins series out of Mark 7 with the sins of self-control, envy and jealousy!

Season 37, Episode 1 of 4This is the first episode in Foul Play's four-part investigation into Victorian England's most notorious family murder and the case that birthed modern detective fiction.Elizabeth Gough checked Francis Saville Kent's cot at five in the morning on June 30, 1860. The blankets were gone. The three-year-old was gone. And somewhere in Road Hill House, someone who knew exactly what had happened was waiting for the search to begin—On the last night of June 1860, three-year-old Francis Saville Kent was lifted from his nursery bed in the family's Wiltshire mansion. Hours later, a servant discovered his small body in the outdoor privy, his throat cut nearly to the spine.The killer came from inside the house. That much was immediately certain. But who among the nine people sleeping at Road Hill House that night would murder a child? And why?This episode traces the fractured Kent family—a household divided between a tyrannical father's first marriage and second, where teenage Constance and her brother William existed as ghosts in their own home while their half-brother Francis received everything they'd been denied. We witness the horror of discovery morning, the bungled local investigation, and the arrival of Detective Inspector Jonathan "Jack" Whicher from Scotland Yard—a working-class detective about to walk into a class warfare trap that would destroy him.Some walls don't protect families. They hide what families are capable of doing to themselves.Key Case DetailsVictim: Francis Saville Kent, age 3 years and 10 months, murdered June 29-30, 1860Location: Road Hill House, village of Road (now Rode), Wiltshire, EnglandCrime: The boy was taken from his nursery bed between midnight and five in the morning, carried through the dark house, and murdered in the outdoor privy. His throat was slashed from ear to ear with a razor or knife, cutting nearly to the spine. His body was stuffed into the privy vault and hidden among waste.Initial Investigation: Local police focused on servants and outsiders, refusing to suspect the respectable Kent family. Critical evidence—including a bloodstained nightgown belonging to sixteen-year-old half-sister Constance Kent—was destroyed by her father with police cooperation. The inquest returned "willful murder by person or persons unknown."Scotland Yard Intervention: Detective Inspector Jonathan Whicher arrived July 16, 1860, and within five days identified Constance Kent as his primary suspect—the first time in English history a young lady from a respectable family faced formal murder charges.Section 4: The Victim - Francis Saville KentFrancis Saville Kent deserves to be remembered as more than a murder victim. He was three years and ten months old—dark-haired, curious, his father's favorite child. He collected smooth stones from the garden and named them after colors. He asked endless questions about where stars came from and why dogs didn't talk. He had a stuffed rabbit he couldn't sleep without and an imaginary pack of dogs that followed him everywhere.He was learning to count but always skipped the number nine. He negotiated extra bedtime stories with remarkable persistence for a toddler. He called his half-sister Constance "Tannie" because he couldn't pronounce her name.He was three years old. Someone murdered him anyway.Section 5: Victorian True Crime ContextVictorian England in 1860 was obsessed with respectability. Gas lamps flickered in drawing rooms across the countryside while servants moved silently through service corridors. Behind heavy curtains and locked doors, families performed daily rituals of propriety—morning prayers, afternoon tea, church attendance every Sunday.The outside world saw polished brass door knockers and manicured gardens. Inside, secrets festered.The Road Hill House case shattered Victorian assumptions about where crime originated. Respectable families didn't produce murderers. Young ladies of good breeding didn't commit violence. Working-class detectives couldn't accuse gentlemen's daughters.These assumptions would destroy Detective Inspector Whicher's career—and let a killer walk free for five more years.Section 6: Historical Context & SourcesThe Road Hill House Murder became Victorian England's most notorious domestic crime and directly inspired the birth of detective fiction. Wilkie Collins used case details when writing The Moonstone (1868), widely considered the first modern detective novel. Charles Dickens followed the investigation closely and incorporated elements into his final, unfinished novel The Mystery of Edwin Drood.Detective Inspector Jonathan Whicher's methods—systematic crime scene analysis, methodical witness interviews, evidence-based deduction regardless of social class—represented revolutionary policing. His destruction by class prejudice exposed how Victorian justice protected the respectable while prosecuting the poor.Primary Source: Kate Summerscale's The Suspicions of Mr Whicher (2008) provides the most comprehensive modern account, drawing on original trial transcripts, contemporary newspaper coverage, and National Archives documents.Content Advisory: This episode contains clinical description of violence against a child, consistent with documented historical records.Section 6A: Resources & Further ReadingThe Suspicions of Mr Whicher by Kate Summerscale (2008) - Definitive modern account of the caseCruelly Murdered by Bernard Taylor (1979) - Alternative analysis exploring brother William's potential involvementThe Moonstone by Wilkie Collins (1868) - Detective fiction directly inspired by the Road Hill House investigationThe National Archives (UK) maintains original trial transcripts and investigation documents from 1860-1865Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/foul-play-crime-series/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

No Respectable Sinners | Tullian Tchividjian | "Lost & Found" Part 2Romans 3:10-12, 23-24 NLT

By Steve Myers - Life is stressful and pushes us to vent, grumble and doubt. We often think it's harmless. But what if these common habits are quietly reshaping our hearts, our faith and our relationship with God? How can we take notice and change the patterns before they define us?

-Nebraska carries a 29 game losing streak to ranked teams into today's game vs. Utah…and if you are in the group that hopes that TJ Lateef sticks around and potentially starts next year, it's pretty important he shows some potential today like the UCLA game-Possibly snap the 29 game skid, plus officially surpass last year's record (7-6 last year), AND add on to the B1G's great postseason so far…seems like there's a lot to play for AND gain from todayOur Sponsors:* Check out Hims: https://hims.com/EARLYBREAK* Check out Infinite Epigenetics: https://infiniteepigenetics.com/EARLYBREAKAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Ghislaine Maxwell attempted to leverage her long-standing proximity to powerful political figures—most notably the Clintons—as part of a broader effort to recast herself as a peripheral player rather than a central architect of Jeffrey Epstein's sex-trafficking operation. In post-conviction filings and behind-the-scenes advocacy, Maxwell emphasized her access to former presidents, donors, and global elites as evidence of a life rooted in high-level social and political circles, implicitly arguing that such status made the prosecution's portrayal of her as a hands-on trafficker implausible. The subtext was clear: she sought to frame herself as a social facilitator who moved among the famous and influential, not as a criminal mastermind deserving of a decades-long sentence.That strategy extended to highlighting her connections to Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, suggesting—without producing exculpatory evidence—that her associations with prominent Democratic power brokers reflected legitimacy and respectability rather than criminality. Prosecutors and the court rejected this framing, noting that elite access does not negate culpability and that Maxwell's role was proven through victim testimony, corroborating evidence, and a clear pattern of conduct. Ultimately, the court made plain that political proximity would not mitigate the severity of the crimes, and Maxwell's attempt to use her relationships with the Clintons as a softening narrative failed to move the needle at sentencing.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

If you've ever signed up for a huge race, joined a new mastermind, or taken on a massive work project right when you said you were finally going all-in on your golf game or business… this episode is going to sting a little—in the best way. In this solo conversation, I pull back the curtain on how I caught myself red-handed sabotaging my own journey to scratch by committing to a 75-mile race. On the surface, it looked disciplined, inspiring, and productive. Underneath, it was something else entirely: a socially acceptable way to avoid the emotional discomfort of fully committing to the goal that matters most to me. I call this pattern noble avoidance—and if you're a high-achieving golfer or entrepreneur, there's a very good chance it's running the show in your life too. In this episode, you'll learn: What "noble avoidance" is and how it quietly sabotages your biggest goals Why hard, impressive challenges can actually feel safer than your true dream How fear of failure, fear of success, and fear of being seen trying feed noble avoidance The subtle ways noble avoidance shows up in golf, business, fitness, and relationships 10 real-world examples so you can spot it in your own calendar and commitments Five candid reflection questions to expose where you're hiding behind "good" excuses Why "less is more" and "be boring" are the real superpowers behind scratch-level success Get your pencils ready and start listening.  P.P.S.

A goal like running 75 miles is brutally hard physically, but it can be emotionally safer than going all-in on becoming a scratch golfer. Fear of failure, fear of success, and fear of being seen truly trying are core drivers behind noble avoidance. Your subconscious is addicted to safety, familiarity, and predictability—and will recreate old patterns, even painful ones, to stay "safe." Noble avoidance often looks like rebranding, building systems, learning more, or "helping everyone else" instead of doing the uncomfortable, needle-moving work. Looking at your calendar is one of the most honest ways to see what you're truly committed to versus what you just claim to care about. Long-term success comes from doing fewer things, better—embracing boring, consistent reps instead of chasing exciting side quests. Key Quotes: "Noble avoidance is the subconscious strategy of choosing a worthy pursuit to avoid the deeper emotional discomfort of your true goal." "Underneath noble avoidance is self-protection disguised as self-improvement." "It's ambition used as armor and momentum pointed in the wrong direction." "Running 75 miles isn't easier physically—it's easier emotionally." "If I give everything and still fall short, I'm out of excuses—and that's terrifying." "Noble avoidance is still avoidance. Until you name it, you continue to serve it." "Success is built on the same boring principles executed relentlessly over and over and over."

Matthew Coller from Purple Insider joins Chad Hartman each and every Friday. Chad opens their conversation with a question about who Matthew thinks will be named starting QB ahead of the Vikings game against the Seahawks. They run through some scenarios that would impact the choice which also includes JJ McCarthy's poor play as of late. They chat about finding franchise quarterbacks in unexpected places and Max Brosmer's Brock Purdy potential. In their second segment, Matthew and Chad explore the possibility of the Vikings moving on from JJ McCarthy. Matthew thinks he will be on the team but without the assumption that he is the long term solution. He expects a competition at the position and a ton of pressure on the organization to find their answer. They also talk about what Sam Darnold has been up to in Seattle and if he is the one that got away.

Pastor Jared Lockart on the respectable sins of pride and selfishness in our lives.

Elder Fred Smith on the "respectable sins" of ungodliness and worldliness.

The year is 1692. In a small, snowbound Puritan settlement on the edge of the Massachusetts wilderness, two young girls begin convulsing, screaming, and claiming to see dark spirits. Within weeks, their strange afflictions ignite the most infamous witch hunt in American history. In this first chapter of The Salem Witch Trials, the boys unravel the eerie beginnings of the hysteria that consumed Salem Village.It starts inside Reverend Samuel Parris's home, where his daughter Betty and niece Abigail writhe and shriek as neighbors whisper that the Devil himself has entered the village. When a local folk remedy—a “witch cake” baked with the girls' urine—is fed to a dog in secret, it backfires spectacularly, pointing suspicion toward Parris's enslaved servant, Tituba. Dragged before magistrates, Tituba confesses under pressure and spins a vivid tale of the Devil's book, spectral animals, and a coven hidden among them. Her confession doesn't calm the town—it detonates it.From there, the accusations multiply. Respectable churchgoers like Martha Corey and beloved grandmother Rebecca Nurse are suddenly named as witches. Even a four-year-old child is chained in irons. Villagers who once shared pews now turn on each other in panic. By spring, fear and superstition rule Salem.The boys dive deep into the dark psychology of the era—how religious zeal, personal grudges, and brutal living conditions created the perfect storm for mass hysteria. They explore the bizarre early investigations, the use of “spectral evidence,” and the tragic logic that if a witch could look innocent, it was only because the Devil made her so.This episode sets the stage for the horrifying trials to come—the hangings, the confessions, and the infamous pressing of Giles Corey. But before the gallows rise, Part One reveals how one cold New England winter and a few terrified children tore a community apart.Part Two will take listeners to the courtroom and the gallows, exposing the gruesome outcomes—and the haunting question that still lingers: what truly possessed Salem in 1692?www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast
