The Democratic Socialists of America just swept the New York City primaries, and one winning candidate has said 9/11 was America's fault because of "capitalism, racism, white supremacy, and Islamophobia." Bridget breaks down the new anti-American wing of the Democratic Party, why "democratic socialism" is just socialism wearing a wig, why these aren't just progressive Democrats — they're revolutionaries who openly want to tear down America, and why gentle parenting might be to blame for all of it. Study up on the DSA Insanity here: https://platform.dsausa.org/program/ https://www.dsausa.org/about-us/what-is-democratic-socialism/ #DSA #NYCPrimary #dumpsterfire #zohranmamdani #BridgetPhetasy Topics covered: Democratic Socialists of America, NYC primary 2026, Zohran Mamdani, anti-American left, DSA platform, socialism vs capitalism, Aber Kawas, Darializa Avila Chevalier, Claire Valdez, Democratic Party

Why do these pastors choose to remain part of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC)? In this episode of the Revitalize & Replant podcast, Mark Clifton, Mark Hallock, and Dan Hurst explain why they value Southern Baptist cooperation and how the SBC helps churches fulfill the Great Commission through missions, theological education, church planting, disaster relief, and local church partnership. In this episode, they discuss the SBC’s: Biblical fidelity and a high view of Scripture Shared commitment to global missions through cooperative giving Disaster relief efforts and commitment to serving communities in crisis Seminaries’ significance in ministry training Local church autonomy and voluntary cooperation Whether you’re exploring the Southern Baptist Convention or simply want to understand why many pastors continue to serve within the SBC, this conversation offers a practical overview of the values that shape Southern Baptist churches and their mission.

What should a pastor do after preaching a sermon that didn’t connect? In this episode of the Revitalize & Replant podcast, Mark Clifton, Mark Hallock, and Dan Hurst discuss how pastors can respond after preaching a sermon that feels like a “pick-six.” Every preacher has messages that don’t land the way they hoped, but one difficult Sunday doesn’t define a lifetime of faithful ministry. In this conversation, you’ll learn: Why the text—not the preacher—deserves the spotlight Why every sermon doesn’t have to be a home run How faithful pastors can recover after a discouraging sermon Why your weaknesses and failures don’t limit God’s work How God’s Word never returns void Why one bad (or even one great) sermon doesn’t define your ministry If you’ve ever left the pulpit feeling discouraged, this episode offers biblical encouragement for pastors committed to faithful preaching, church revitalization, and long-term ministry.

What can a pastor learn during the first few weeks of leading a church replant? In this episode of the Revitalize & Replant podcast, Mark Clifton talks with Dan Hurst about 7 key lessons he’s learned during his first 7 weeks as a church replanter. From navigating church decline to leading with patience and grace, Dan shares practical insights for pastors serving in revitalization and replanting contexts. This episode provides encouragement for church leaders seeking to faithfully guide congregations through change while remaining focused on the mission of God. 7 Lessons from Church Replanting Declining churches often stop doing what once helped them thrive. Hurting people need both truth and a fresh experience of God’s love and grace. Pastors are called to point people toward God, trusting Him to bring change. Sheep don’t follow busy sheep. “They say” is not a reliable measure of congregational reality. The responsibility of redemptive work outweighs personal agendas. A church cannot develop meaningful vision until it understands its mission.

Summer brings sunshine, ballparks, and hot dogs. But in the treatment room, it often brings a noticeable shift in business rhythm. In this episode of ASCP Esty Talk, Maggie and Ella explore seasonality in the esthetics industry, asking whether summer is truly a slowdown or just a shift in client behavior. Using a lighthearted hot-dog stand analogy, your hosts unpack timing, demand, and the opportunity that summer brings.

Can the emerging Somos México movement unite Mexico's political opposition? Since coming to power in 2018, the Morena party has maintained broad popular support. But under its rule, Mexico's democratic institutions have faced growing strain. Judicial and electoral reforms, the dismantling of regulatory and oversight agencies, and the militarization of public security have increasingly concentrated power within the executive branch, while the country continues to face high levels of political violence. To date, Mexico's opposition has struggled to effectively mobilize around these challenges. Enter Somos México, a new movement that aims to promote governance grounded in rights and the rule of law, according to one of its leaders, former Mexican Sen. Emilio Álvarez Icaza. Álvarez Icaza joined host Tony Payan to discuss democratic backsliding under Morena, the coalition behind Somos México, and the challenges of establishing a viable political party ahead of the 2027 midterm elections. Their conversation was recorded on May 15, 2026. Featured: Former Sen. Emilio Álvarez Icaza, Ph.D.: https://emilioalvarezicaza.com.

You're guided through what metabolism really is—your body's nonstop chemical infrastructure across trillions of cells—not just calories or genetics, and why how well you produce ATP in your mitochondria largely determines how you feel. The episode explains redox reactions as the “spark” that powers ATP, how stress, processed food, toxins, and age-related mitochondrial decline can disrupt redox balance, increase oxidative stress, and drive fatigue, inflammation, and hormonal issues. You'll learn overlooked signs of metabolic dysfunction (feeling cold, daily 2–3 PM crash, brain fog after meals, outer eyebrow thinning, velvety skin patches, wired-but-tired nights, low libido) and why men and women often show different symptoms (thyroid/estrogen shifts vs testosterone/aromatase cycles and ED as an early signal). Action steps include a 5-day morning symptom audit, adding antioxidant foods to each meal, stabilizing lunch plus 10 minutes of movement, getting morning light within 30 minutes of waking, and reframing symptoms as data, with a free Metabolic Reboot Blueprint resource mentioned.00:00 Relight Your Vital Fire01:01 Why You Feel Off03:19 Metabolism Beyond Calories04:47 ATP The Real Energy06:09 Redox Spark Plugs07:28 Oxidative Stress Explained08:47 Hidden Warning Signs13:34 Women Vs Men Symptoms17:36 Metabolism Can Recover20:13 Weekly Action Steps22:40 Free Reboot Blueprint23:25 Closing And DisclaimerDownload Metabolic Reboot Blueprint Get full access to THRIVE 120 Newsletter at tripleplaydoc.substack.com/subscribe

In this episode of the Revitalize and Replant podcast, Mark Clifton, Mark Hallock, and Dan Hurst discuss why quick fixes and ministry shortcuts rarely lead to lasting church health.

In this episode of the Revitalize and Replant podcast, Mark Clifton, Mark Hallock, and Dan Hurst discuss practical, biblical steps churches can take when facing declining attendance and membership loss. Together, they outline several ways pastors can lead churches toward spiritual renewal and healthier discipleship: Begin with intentional prayer. Strengthen hospitality and care for people.

Lead the congregation toward commitment and renewal. Address ministry needs patiently and faithfully over time. This episode encourages pastors and church leaders not to panic during seasons of decline but instead pursue long-term biblical faithfulness and disciple-making.

"Cities across the globe have experienced urban blight, where districts that have seen a significant downturn in fortunes are abandoned, residential and business properties left vacant. Responding to this change in fortunes is becoming an industry in itself."What Causes Urban Blight -And What Can Be Done About it" ~ blog.bluebeam.comMy Guest This Week Has Success in helping Real Estate Properties & Communities RevitalizeBlighted is a powerful narrative about the decades-long decay and remarkable two-year reinvention of Summerdale, an aging apartment community located in one of Atlanta's grittiest corridors. From burnt-out, mold-infested buildings to traumatized classrooms, Blighted unfolds in the voices of ruthless drug dealers, phantom tenants, fearless landlords, the working poor, educators, and visionary local leaders.After purchasing the property from an absentee overseas owner, Marjy Stagmeier and her partners methodically tackled the crisis festering inside the gated 244-unit apartment property. Two years of relentless work later, Stagmeier reveals how the team that she led built community from chaos. Through on-the-ground, in-the-moment interviews with a wide range of stakeholders, Stagmeier demonstrates how marginalized housing perpetuates intergenerational poverty and the collapse of nearby public schools while showing the multifaceted challenges of improving dire living conditions.Blighted offers a unique insider perspective of the political, human, and economic challenges of delivering equitable housing in a market fueled by inflationary prices, insatiable demand, and competing and often dubious agendas. Summerdale's success is a bright model of how affordable housing, education, healthcare, and social capital can interconnect to build vibrant, sustainable communities―affordable housing communities, nearby schools, and the community at large. From there, kids, families, working people, and neighborhoods can thrive.© 2026 Building Abundant Success!!2026 All Rights ReservedJoin Me on ~ iHeart Radio @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASSpot Me on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23baAmazon Music ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAudacy:  https://tinyurl.com/BASAud

Can hundreds of acres of abandoned industrial land on a neglected section of Cleveland's East Side become an economic engine, providing accessible jobs where employees can walk or bike to work on new multipurpose trails. That's the strategy behind the Midline, an ambitious redevelopment project announced this week. From aspirational development to unwanted development, namely a data center in Slavic Village. Cleveland denied a permit for what would have been the largest hyperscale data center in the city, on 35 acres in the Slavic Village neighborhood. Cleveland joins a number of communities where data centers are being protested or rejected. It's an issue state lawmakers are paying attention to. A new bi-partisan committee of the legislature will focus on data centers as public concerns grow around the mega sites' use of energy, and the data industry pushes back. Cleveland's Planning Commission will get a look Friday at a new plan for University Circle that looks to make the area known as Cleveland "second Downtown" more accessible and safer for pedestrians and motorists alike. Sherwin-Williams finally cut the ribbon this week on its towering new headquarters in Downtown Cleveland. The building is the fourth-tallest building in the city and the sixth tallest in Ohio. The company announced plans for a new headquarters in 2019 and for a brief time considered moving out of state. The opening was slowed by construction delays. The Tenth District Court of Appeals in Columbus will decide whether using public education money for private school vouchers violates the state constitution. A three-judge panel heard arguments this week in a lawsuit filed in 2022 by a coalition representing more than half of the state's school districts. The monitor overseeing the U.S. Justice Department's consent decree with Cleveland meant to improve policing offered an 11-point plan to get Cleveland in compliance with the federal decree. Last week, just after we finished this show, a federal judge rejected the city's bid to exit the 11-year-old consent decree, saying more work was needed to reach compliance. These stories and more will be part of this week's discussion the “Sound of Ideas Reporters Roundtable.

Their conversation explores warning signs that often appear in struggling churches, including: Church leaders becoming overly administrative instead of pastoral Spiritually unhealthy members remaining uncared for A lack of vision and meaningful communication A growing maintenance mentality in the church Leadership focusing primarily on disgruntled members Bitterness and unresolved conflict going unchecked Ongoing attrition without evangelism or new disciples Churches becoming stagnant and nostalgic for the past Neglect of church facilities and ministry investment Pastors leaving prematurely without hope for renewal This episode provides helpful insight for pastors, church planters, and revitalization leaders seeking to recognize early signs of decline and pursue healthier ministry leadership.

The skin doesn't just need hydration and protection—it needs energy to repair, regulate, and function optimally. At the center of that energy system is NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), a coenzyme essential for cellular metabolism, which naturally declines with age and stress. In this episode of ASCP Esty Talk, Maggie and Ella explore NAD+, its role in skin energy and repair, and how niacinamide supports NAD+ production, connecting cellular function to visible skin health.

In this episode of Revitalize and Replant, Mark Clifton, Mark Hallock, and Dan Hurst reflect on an article by Chuck Lawless that offers a convicting and practical self-examination for pastors preparing to preach. 12 Preaching Preparation Questions: Have I spoken to God regularly and honestly this week? Have I spoken lovingly to my spouse and children? Have my words been truthful? Have I said anything inappropriate or off-color? Have I spoken the biblical text aloud during preparation? Have I tried to impress anyone with my words? Have I spoken poorly of anyone? Have I had gospel conversations with non-believers? Do I need to ask forgiveness from anyone? Do I need to confess any sin today? Have I asked others to pray for my preaching? Have I thanked God for the privilege of preaching His Word?

Is your core values language compelling to your people and used as a tool for your culture? It might just be time to revitalize your core values.  For Full Show Notes Visit: https://www.jasonvbarger.com/podcast/revitalize-core-values/ Jason explores the strategic necessity of moving beyond "poster-on-the-wall" philosophy to turn core values into a living, breathing competitive advantage for your organization. Please rate and review the podcast to help amplify these messages to others! Summary: In a world where many organizational mission statements are resigned to dusty frames in breakrooms, elite leaders understand a fundamental truth: language drives behavior. In this episode of The Thermostat, Jason V Barger examines how to revitalize your core values to drive engagement and provide radical clarity for the future culture you are aiming to create. This conversation moves beyond standard corporate platitudes to address the "poster problem"—the cynicism employees feel when there is a visible gap between espoused values and actual behavior. Jason argues that core values are meant to be a functional tool for leadership in teams, not just a decorative element of corporate culture. He outlines a disciplined process for revitalization, emphasizing that while your soul as an organization shouldn't change, your language must remain precise, aspirational, and participatory to stay relevant in a shifting market. Essential listening for C-Suite executives, HR directors, and team leaders, this episode offers a tactical roadmap for anchoring your values in the "hard" systems of your business—from hiring and onboarding to performance evaluations and leadership development. Episode Notes & Timestamps: [00:00] Intro: Jason explains the importance and impact of revitalizing core values to calibrate the organizational thermostat. [00:03] Language Drives Behavior: A deep look at why we cannot be surprised when a desired culture doesn't exist if we haven't articulated it in terms of action and behavior. [00:05] The "Poster" Problem: Addressing the reality of "tainted" employees who have seen values ignored by leadership and why the best organizations treat values as tools. [00:07] Revitalization vs. Change: Why you don't necessarily need to change your values, but why the language needs a living, breathing update every 8 to 10 years to re-engage your people. [00:09] The Participatory Pillar: Moving values from "on high" (the CEO or Board) to a cross-functional vision created by the people who actually live the culture every day. [00:10] The Aspirational Pillar: Why values shouldn't just describe who you are today, but articulate the high-performance culture you need to cultivate for the future. [00:10] Precision in Language: Moving past abstract words like "integrity." How to define exactly what your values look like in action, interaction, and decision-making. [00:11] Values as a Functional Tool: How to anchor revitalized language in the daily operations of the business, including hiring, coaching, and performance assessments. [00:12] Culture as Strategy: A reminder that culture is a non-negotiable strategy—the air we breathe and the temperature we set for how we show up to work. Key Takeaways for Leaders: Tool, Not Poster: Move your values from decorative slogans to functional guides that dictate how your team operates and communicates. Participatory Visioning: Engage your people in the co-creation of your cultural language to ensure immediate buy-in and ownership at every level. Behavioral Precision: Increase your team's effectiveness by defining the specific actions that represent your abstract values, leaving no room for ambiguity.

What is shaping modern preaching—and is it always healthy? In this episode of Revitalize and Replant, Mark Clifton, Mark Hallock, and Dan Hurst discuss key concerns they see emerging in today's preaching culture. 5 Challenges in Modern Preaching: Entertainment can replace exposition Preaching can drift toward performance and personality instead of explaining the meaning of Scripture. Application can become man-centered Sermons risk focusing more on self-improvement than Christ-centered transformation and repentance. Depth is often sacrificed for brevity The pressure for short, engaging messages can weaken theological depth and biblical clarity. Hard truths are softened or avoided Topics like sin, judgment, holiness, and repentance are sometimes minimized to avoid discomfort. Authority shifts from Scripture to the preacher Reliance on stories, charisma, or trends can replace the authority of God's Word. This episode calls pastors back to faithful, text-driven, Christ-exalting preaching.
