Erin Cole, founder of Nurturing Our Seeds in Detroit, shares how a porch-side safety moment on Helen Street—mowing vacant lots for elders—grew from a first flower patch into mustard and turnip greens, and ultimately a neighborhood farm and seed-saving hub. We dig into living soil, herb-based compost teas, seed starting as food sovereignty as they supply transplants to 14 Black farms and save okra seed with the Ujamaa Seed Cooperative, and adapting to climate chaos with part-shade cucumbers. We also talk land access and how the Detroit Black Farmer Land Fund strengthens community control—plus Erin's quest to breed a hot pink okra.

We all have seasons that feel underground, where we're growing roots instead of fruit. In this episode, Yaeli reflects on her journey, alignment, and the art of surrendering to divine timing. It's about staying true to your timeline, finding peace in imperfection, and realizing that when the time is right, everything blooms at once.

In this deeply personal episode of Self-Care with Geraldine Hardy, recorded in Germany just before her journey to Thailand, Geraldine opens up about experiencing sudden lumbago — and how physical pain can be the body's way of asking us to stop, reflect, and release. Through her own story of emotional healing, yoga, meditation, and hypnotherapy, Geraldine explores how unprocessed memories, stress, and responsibility can manifest as physical blockages in the spine — and how reconnecting to our body's wisdom can create lasting transformation. You'll learn: - The emotional meaning behind lower back pain and lumbago - How fascia and energy are linked through the root and sacral chakras - Why emotional release can be the key to physical recovery - How to recognize when your body is saying “pause” - Practical tools for self-healing: meditation, yoga, magnesium, and breathwork ✨ Geraldine's message: true healing begins when we stop resisting the pain — and start listening to it.

In this episode of Cultish, we explore why Korea has become a center for a new wave of cult movements—and why the global church should pay attention.

He holds a Doctor of Theology in New Testament and, from 2023 to 2024, served as a Visiting Scholar at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Illinois.Also joining us is Chris, a former member of Shincheonji and returning guest, sharing his firsthand experience and ongoing efforts to raise awareness about the growing influence of Korean cults around the world.Partner With Us & Be Part of the Mission to Change Lives: HERESHOP OUR MERCH: HEREPlease consider subscribing to our YouTube Channel: CultishTV.comCultish is a 100% crowdfunded ministry. -- Email Chris & Pastor Yang: biblev@daum.net Chris@examiningthecults.org Chris's Website: HEREChris's YouTube: HEREPastor Yang's YouTube: HERE

Michael Jaco and Leo Zagami join forces to expose the dark truths behind Jeffrey Epstein's empire and the hidden sects that empowered him. From his connections to elite figures like Les Wexner and Steven Spielberg to the deeper links with the Illuminati, Mega Group, and Sabbatean Frankists, this discussion unpacks the hidden power networks that shaped one of the world's most sinister scandals. Leo draws from his extensive research and latest work to uncover the occult, political, and financial mechanisms that kept Epstein untouchable for years. Together, they trace these threads back to ancient secret societies, global corruption, and the ongoing manipulation of humanity through deception and control.

Matt speaks with Jason Crawford (Roots of Progress Institute) about “technohumanism”—the view that science, technology, and industry are good insofar as they advance human flourishing. They dig into agency vs. accelerationism, why progress creates new problems to solve, and where the next big gains may come from (AI, biotech, nuclear, housing, etc.).

In this episode of the Suzi Chicago podcast, I sit down with Jamie Shriner, a brilliant musical comedian I met at a comedy club in San Diego. We dive into her fascinating journey from musical theatre student to writing and performing her own musical comedy songs. Jamie shares how the pandemic helped her find her authentic voice and why she's no longer trying to impress "five guys in the back" but instead creating content for her true audience.Jamie opens up about her childhood as the class clown, her creative process for writing comedy songs, and even reveals her embarrassing "worst gig" story involving a hot-boxed 420 show and an accidentally recorded rant!

In this episode, Julie Holly unpacks why performance became your path to belonging and how to finally stop earning love that was always meant to be received.The Roots of Approval: Why You Keep Proving YourselfYou've achieved so much — but deep down, something still drives you to keep proving.

"Everything about our waking being is affected by the food we eat. And it's not just where your food comes from, but the ingredients…with integrity. Who is putting their love and passion into a crop?

All this is coming to light now— this is not pseudoscience anymore." —Jennifer Waxman Every meal shapes more than our day—it shapes our health, our habits, and even our outlook.

From graffiti tags in Queens to cakes for J.Lo, Aerosmith, and the Mets, Don Donerunno's story is anything but ordinary. In this milestone 50th episode, we sit down with The Cake Don himself—a true late bloomer who found his calling at 41 and built a thriving custom cake business from the ground up.Born and raised in Whitestone, Queens, Don Donerunno always knew he was an artist. But it wasn't until a friend asked him to make a cake—on a whim—that his entire life trajectory changed. That first cake led to a viral Facebook post, which sparked orders, which snowballed into a full-fledged business. Fifteen years later, he's worked with the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Sebastian Maniscalco, Shaquille O'Neal, the Wahlbergs, and Aerosmith—and he did it all without a formal culinary background or startup funding.This episode isn't about frosting and fondant. It's about art, resilience, trauma, healing, and finding your lane—no matter how long it takes to get there. At 57, Don reflects on what it means to finally feel alive doing the work he was always meant to do. He opens up about the anxiety attacks, financial risk, and personal transformation that marked the early years of his business. And he gets real about shedding ego, working with intention, and becoming the kind of man his daughters can be proud of.We dive into:How starting over at 41 unlocked a lifelong creative passionThe unexpected role of graffiti, hip hop, and Queens street culture in shaping his artistic identityWhat it really takes to build a successful small business with no safety netThe power of social media—without chasing viralityAyahuasca, ego death, and how healing work changed his leadership styleCustomer service as art, and why emotional intelligence is key to brand longevityDon also shares:Why he doesn't chase trends—and how that's helped him build a sustainable businessHow being authentic online has earned him lifelong customers (and surprise celebrity calls)The lessons he learned from panic attacks, financial pressure, and family responsibilitiesWhy he measures every decision by its impact on his daughtersWhat it means to be “an addition to someone's tradition” rather than a flash-in-the-pan trendIf you're a creative, entrepreneur, or anyone feeling like it's “too late” to start over—this one's for you. Don's story proves that it's never too late to align your work with your purpose, never too late to find your people, and never too late to build something that lasts. His energy is calm, his insights are real, and his commitment to showing up with integrity is magnetic.This episode is also a powerful reminder that your “big break” might not be loud—it might start with a single cake, a Facebook post, or a friend who sees your gift before you do.Whether you're dreaming of launching something new or already knee-deep in the grind, Don's wisdom hits home. It's about craft, consistency, and choosing real connection over empty hype.Enjoying the podcast?

Joining John Maytham to separate fact from fiction is Prof Jonny Peter, Head of Allergology and Clinical Immunology at UCT. He helps us unpack what inflammation really is, how diet plays a role, and why TikTok’s oversimplified advice could be doing more harm than good. While the idea of eating to reduce inflammation has solid scientific roots, the social media version often strips away nuance and promotes unnecessary restrictions. Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather. The host’s eclectic interests mean the program often surprises the audience with intriguing book reviews and inspiring interviews profiling artists. A daily highlight is Rapid Fire, just after 5:30pm. CapeTalk fans call in, to stump the presenter with their general knowledge questions. Another firm favourite is the humorous Thursday crossing with award-winning journalist Rebecca Davis, called “Plan B”.

Send us a textWe trace how Darwin and Freud shaped cultural ideas about sex and how these philosophies have infiltrated even modern religion.Darwin and Freud both rejected a divine order of the universe or a spiritual guide for moral and ethical living. Their influences profoundly shape the course of modern philosophy and our current society.Many modern Christians have unwittingly adopted influences from Darwin and Freud into their own theology, especially in how we approach sexuality and sexual desire.We must reject the idea that sex is purely biological or that sex is in contrast to spirituality. The Bible teaches that sexuality is created by God with spiritual significance, purpose and importance.Warning: We cover necessary and important topics about the marriage relationship and sex.

November 3, 2025Yesterday was All Saints Day, or All Soul's Day, and in Mexico, The Day of the Dead. Sometimes we forget how our ancestors have shaped us. What positive attributes have we acquired?What has been passed down to us that we may not even recognize? In today's episode we will root ourselves into our lineage – noticing the beautiful gifts we have been given that make us who we are, and the challenges, generational trauma, or fears that have been passed down that we need to tend to.

Nancy Matsumoto discusses her new book Reaping What She Sows, an exploration of the women transforming our broken food system from the ground up. We talk about what an alternative food system really looks like, why women are at the forefront of this movement, and how they're reimagining the way we grow, distribute, and consume food could offer a more just, sustainable, and human-centric future.

In this episode of Pacific Ward, we dig into the foundational principles that make democracy legitimate — free will, shared power, and the consent of the governed. We take a direct look at how the current U.S. political system has allowed money and influence to overshadow public will, creating a democracy that too often listens to donors before citizens.But pointing out what's broken isn't enough.We need a vision for what could replace corruption with trust.So, we explore the Aloran Federation — a fictional yet practical blueprint for a future democracy grounded in accountability, collaboration, and flexibility. In this model, political parties must continually earn their place through real public support. No party can dominate. Systems are meant to evolve with the people, not against them. Authority is treated not as a prize — but as a privilege granted through consent.At the heart of this episode lies a belief both simple and powerful:Democracy survives only when the people hold real, continuous power to change their government.We examine why a healthy society must nurture a culture where trust is earned, leadership is accountable, and free will is protected — not just in law, but in everyday civic life.This isn't about tearing down democracy —it's about rebuilding its foundations so it can stand for generations to come.Join us as we imagine how democracy becomes worthy of its promise — when authority serves those who grant it.A better system isn't radical.It's responsible.

In this episode Chris brings us Opinion Scholarship on the origins of Judeo-Christian monotheism. We explore the archeological evidence seeking Yahweh in the historical record. From Bronze Age Egypt to the Hittites and the Canaanite tribes in-between, what we find in unexpected. Is it possible that the religion of Yahweh has an entirely different origin and history than that of the Hebrew God, El? Is it possible that Christianity continues the tradition of the religion of Yahweh and not of El? And is it possible that monotheism was not an original component of Hebrew religion, but was rather adopted from foreign influence. Is it possible that this influence came from the Indo-European world? Find out here. Enjoy ;)

Join Pastor Lucas Miles as he continues his series on “The Pagan Threat.” In this powerful message, Pastor Lucas clarifies that the threat is not individual pagans, but the broader effort to replace the Christian Gospel in society with alternative ideologies rooted in secularism and Marxism. He explains how these movements often use the Hegelian dialectic to introduce radical ideas under more socially acceptable terms, ultimately seeking to erode the foundations of biblical truth. Drawing from Scripture, including the account of the Tower of Babel, Pastor Lucas explores the spiritual and historical roots of humanity's rebellion against God and warns against the rise of self-deification—when individuals place themselves in the position of God, defining morality and truth on their own terms.Pastor Lucas also exposes how “soft paganism” has subtly crept into the modern church, through practices like the Enneagram and through attitudes that judge others in ways that only God can. Throughout the message, Pastor Lucas addresses three major challenges facing Christians today: doubts about the goodness of God, the church's role in justice, and the exclusivity of Christianity. He explains that questioning God's goodness lies at the heart of rebellion, that the failures of the church do not invalidate the truth of the Gospel, and that salvation is found only in Jesus—yet God's love is revealed in giving humanity the dignity of choice.Key Themes:The real “Pagan Threat"The use of the Hegelian dialecticRebellion and self-deification“Soft paganism” in the modern churchDoubting God's goodnessThe church's role in justiceThe exclusivity of ChristThe call to discernment and truthTimestamps:01:22 - What is the Pagan Threat?02:11 - Marxism, Hegelian Dialectic, and Cultural Shifts04:36 - Tower of Babel & Rebellion Against God07:20 - Cancel Culture and the “Hive Brain”08:23 - Self-Deification and Worship of Self09:31 - Soft Paganism in the Church11:09 - The Enneagram and Occult Influences13:12 - Why Deception is So Effective14:01 - Three Main Challenges to Faith15:36 - Doubting the Goodness of God18:54 - The Problem of Evil & God's Character22:41 - The Church's Role in Justice28:09 - The Exclusivity of Christianity51:42 - Closing Prayer & Invitation

Did you know that the concept of spiritual covering originated from the "Shepherding Movement" in the 1970s? Many prideful leaders are pounding ungodly doctrine down the throats of many wounded Christians ... manipulating and trying to gain control over souls, which is a form of witchcraft. This pattern is still being witnessed in various churches and on social media as a worldly recognition; often involving occult impartations and the glorification of self! A spiritual covering is NOT required for accountability. Let's be clear: You're covering and ultimate authority belongs to God, NOT man! Be wary of leaders who twist Scripture and prioritize submission to themselves over God. There are dangers of occult traditions and rituals that glorify self and place humans as divine authority, my friends! Spiritual coverings are a SCAM: You're covering comes from our Creator, not His creation!

The October 7th attacks of Hamas on Israel were an unprecedented, surprise incursion by land, sea, and air that stunned the world and prompted Israel to declare war. The attacks, which included massacres in Israeli communities and a music festival, resulted in the deaths of over 1,200 Israelis and foreign nationals and the capture of some 251 hostages. This deadly terrorist attack was years in the making, but the underlying conflict goes back much further. It starts with the 1948 formation of Israel and the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in the wars that began there, an event known to Palestinians as the Nakba (Arabic for "catastrophe"). But the roots of the conflict extend even further—to Ottoman-era conflict between Jewish and Arab residents, the Bar Kokhba revolts in the 2nd century AD, and battles between ancient Israel and its enemies, tracing back all the way to the Iron Age wars between Israelites and the Philistines. The October 7 attack is seen by some as an echo of the cyclical theme of persecution and existential threat against the Jewish people chronicled in the Old Testament, recalling narratives like the Exodus and attacks on ancient Israel. The modern conflict specifically originates in the same coastal region once controlled by the Philistines—an ancient people who lived on the southern coast of Canaan from the 12th century BC until their demise in the 7th century BC. Furthermore, the Bar Kokhba revolt (132–135 AD) was the third and final major Jewish-Roman war, resulting in a devastating defeat for the Jewish population of Judea and leading to the Roman renaming of the province to Syria Palaestina. Today’s guest is Dinesh D'Souza, the director and executive producer of The Dragon's Prophecy. His documentary utilizes archaeological discoveries, suggesting a historical parallel and continuation of conflict. This shows how current global instability and the conflict over Israel are part of a larger story concerning the destiny of nations. We also look at the intersection of religion, history, and current events to see how the last 3,000 years explain what’s happening today.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
