The Safe Place by Brandon M. Rogers 2rconsultinggroup.com https://www.amazon.com/Safe-Place-Brandon-M-Rogers-ebook/dp/B0G62W2LYN The Safe Place is a gripping journey of redemption and healing, where faith and trauma intertwine to shape a young man’s life. Tristan’s search for belonging and understanding leads him through a maze of relationships, faith struggles, and the painful remnants of his past. As he battles shame and detachment, his path toward forgiveness-both from others and himself-becomes the most difficult yet transformative journey of all. This novel invites readers into an emotional, spiritual exploration of grace, love, and the power of overcoming internal battles. With a powerful mix of lyrical storytelling and raw, heartfelt moments, The Safe Place will resonate with anyone seeking redemption and the courage to heal. About the author Brandon M. Rogers is the founder of 2R Consulting Group and the author of The Safe Place, an emotionally immersive and spiritually grounded novel shaped by lived experience rather than abstraction. His writing emerges from the belief that the most transformative stories are the ones we're often afraid to tell — the quiet places of shame, grief, doubt, and longing that many carry but few feel permitted to voice. With clarity, depth, and compassion, Brandon explores the intersection of faith, trauma, and healing, offering readers a space where pain is neither minimized nor romanticized — only understood. His work is especially written for those who feel unseen, spiritually exhausted, or uncertain that restoration is still possible. Rather than offering easy answers, he invites honest presence, reflection, and hope that feels earned. Brandon lives in the United States and continues to write for those who are hurting, searching, or quietly wondering if they are still worthy of love. He is currently working on the sequel to The Safe Place, further expanding the story's reach into the places most people struggle to name aloud.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningPsalm 91:2 — Jesus, Be My Safe Place When Fear Moves Through the Quiet Hours Psalm 91:2 (NIV): “I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress…'” Matthew 14:27 (NIV): “Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid.” Ao vivo de Londres, Inglaterra para Rio de Janeiro (Brasil) • Porto (Portugal) • Praia (Cabo Verde) • Montevideo (Uruguai) • Chicago (Estados Unidos) Live from London, England to Rio de Janeiro, Porto, Praia, Montevideo, Chicago madrugada silenciosa • medo interior • refúgio em Deus • coragem para continua silent early hours • inner fear • refuge in God • courage to continue Jesus, as the quiet hours deepen and the world around me grows still, I bring to You the places inside me that feel unsettled. When the night reaches its most silent moment, fear often tries to whisper more loudly. Thoughts wander, emotions become sharper, and the heart searches for something steady to hold onto. Tonight, in the silence of this 3AM hour, I declare again that You are my refuge and my fortress. You are the place my soul runs to when uncertainty presses in. Across Brazil, Portugal, Cabo Verde, Uruguay, the United States, India and every nation awake in these dark hours, many hearts feel the same quiet heaviness. But Your voice gently speaks courage into the spaces where fear tries to settle. Jesus, You step into the stillness and say, “Take courage, it is I.” Your nearness becomes the anchor I could not create on my own. Where my thoughts have been restless, steady them. Where my emotions have tightened, soften them. Where fear has tried to rise, silence it with the strength of Your presence. Let Your words become like a lamp in the darkness, guiding my heart toward calm, toward confidence, toward trust. Help me breathe slowly again. Help me surrender the things I cannot control. Help me recognise that I am not facing these hours alone. Your refuge is not distant—it surrounds me, guards me and holds me even when the world is quiet and my mind is loud. Tonight, Jesus, be my safe place. Draw me into the rest that comes from knowing You watch over me. Let courage rise quietly within me, stronger than fear, deeper than worry, steadier than the night itself. In You, I find peace again.

After a childhood marked by abuse and instability, Channelle spent her teenage years searching for love and safety wherever she could find it. When a next-door neighbor and his family welcomed her in, it felt like the stable home she had always longed for. But what began as comfort slowly twisted into control and abuse. She eventually escaped—until a chance reunion revealed the man she once trusted had become a predator who refused to let her go.**This episode contains explicit content, including descriptions of sexual assault, physical and emotional abuse.

Across Brazil, India, the USA, Africa, and here in the UK, people whisper these same words: “You are my refuge.” Senhor Jesus, sê o meu refúgio agora.

Matthew 11:28 speaks directly into this hour. You invite the weary to come close, to breathe out the tension of the day, and to rest in Your presence. Jesus, help me lay down every thought that tries to cling to my mind. Quiet the inner noise. Restore my strength. Let this be a moment of surrender where Your peace rises softly within me. Your refuge is not a distant place; it is the nearness of Your presence. Jesus, be my safe dwelling tonight. Guard my heart from worry. Guide my thoughts into calm. Let Your light rest upon my home, my family, and everyone I hold in prayer. Obrigado, Jesus, por ser o meu lugar seguro. As night unfolds, let comfort, assurance, and steady hope surround me.

John talks about Trump's lust for seizing control of Greenland and how that is playing out on the world stage. Trump spoke at the Davos Economic Forum in Switzerland, receiving a wall of sharp words and condemnations for American foreign and economic policy toward Europe. He also discusses anti-ICE protestors disrupting a sermon at Cities Church in ST. Paul Minnesota where their pastor moonlights as an ICE Director in their local field office. Then, he interviews Larry Cohen who is the Executive Director and Co-founder of Point Source Youth, a national organization working to prevent and end youth homelessness in the U.S. through advocacy, research, and support of scalable interventions like direct cash transfers and targeted housing assistance. And, Erika Hartman, who is Chief Executive Officer at Safe Place for Youth, which provides over 1,200+ young people with critical life-saving services yearly including daily meals, substance abuse counseling, mental health services, and access to housing.

Next, John jokes with J-L Cauvin who is a community advocate, lawyer, and comedian who is running as a Democrat to succeed Governor-Elect Mikie Sherrill and represent New Jersey's 11th District in Congress. And then lastly, he welcomes back Rev. Barry Lynn who's an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ and served as the executive director for Americans United for the Separation of Church and State until his retirement in 2017.

And she [Mary] gave birth to her firstborn Son and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths and laid Him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn. (Luke 2:7)

In this bonus episode, Mike King (American Nightmares: Garden of Evil, Season 5 - Coming Feb 3) sits down with investigative journalist Paul Wagner (American Nightmares: Murder in a Safe Place, Season 2) to revisit the Sherry Crandell case — and to unpack the long road that led to justice.Together, they break down the original investigation, the controversial hospital-wide DNA dragnet, and the relentless efforts of a retired detective who refused to let Sherry's case fade into obscurity. The conversation also explores how Wagner's reporting helped keep pressure on the case when leads ran dry and answers seemed impossible.Most importantly, they examine the 2025 breakthrough that finally identified Edward Barry Watts — also known as Baari Shabazz — as Sherry Crandell's killer through investigative genetic genealogy. Paul and Mike discuss what this moment means for Sherry's family, the ethical questions surrounding genetic genealogy, and the growing power of this technology to solve violent crimes once thought unsolvable.#ProfilingEvil #MurderInASafePlace #AmericanNightmares #SherryCrandell #PrinceGeorgesHospital #CheverlyMaryland #ColdCase #GeneticGenealogy #BaariShabazz #EdwardWatts #BernieNelson #FBI #HospitalMurder #VictimJustice #TrueCrimePodcast #InvestigativeJournalism See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In 1998, 50-year-old nurse and hospital administrator Sherry Crandell was raped and murdered inside her office at Prince George's Hospital Center — a place she should have been safe. Despite DNA, fingerprints, and even an eyewitness, the case stalled for almost 30 years.In this episode, I sit down with investigative journalist Paul Wagner, host of American Nightmares: Murder in a Safe Place, to break down the crime that shook Cheverly, Maryland. We explore the original investigation, the controversial DNA dragnet inside the hospital, and the relentless work of a retired detective who refused to let this case die.Most importantly, we look at how investigative genetic genealogy finally identified Edward Barry Watts — also known as Baari Shabazz — as the man who murdered Sherry Crandell in 2025. Paul's reporting played a major role in keeping attention on this cold case, and today we talk about what this long-awaited breakthrough means for Sherry's family and for the future of genetic genealogy in solving violent crimes.If you follow cold cases, genealogy-based investigations, or behind-the-scenes reporting from the people who never quit, this conversation will take you deeper than the headlines ever did.#ProfilingEvil #MurderInASafePlace #AmericanNightmares #SherryCrandell #PrinceGeorgesHospital #CheverlyMaryland #ColdCase #GeneticGenealogy #BaariShabazz #EdwardWatts #BernieNelson #FBI #HospitalMurder #VictimJustice #TrueCrimePodcast #InvestigativeJournalism #PodcastInterview=======================================Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com========================================LOOKING FOR WAYS TO SUPPORT PROFILING EVIL?

Marriage is the closest human relationship we could ever experience... Which means, as fallen sinners, husbands and wives get a front row seat to each other's exposed sin on a regular basis. In this episode, Brent and Janet discuss how healthy marriages should be a safe space — not for sin to persist— but one where sinners can receive compassion and help from each other as they fight sin together.Joyful Journey is taking a hiatus on recording new episodes for the next several months.

"Send us a message! (questions, feedback, etc.)"It's critical for ministry leaders to understand their responsibility and opportunity to help people in their churches who are sexually struggling. That was a key theme in our rich conversation with Sam Black, Director of Recovery Education at Covenant Eyes. Sam explained that empathy plus action breaks porn's grip, and how churches can become truly safe communities for strugglers and spouses. We talked about practical tools, trauma-informed insights, and a clear path toward allyship, healing, and prevention.Some of the themes from our conversation included...• Early exposure + repetition + pain = a common pathway into pornography.• Allyship and accessibility work better than traditional accountability.• How mind-body-spirit healing helps interrupt the addiction cycle.• What constitutes safe people in safe places with a safe process.• How church leaders often unintentionally add harm to betrayed spouses.• Sex (or more sex) is not the solution to porn use.• How to find available, practical, ready-to-use tools for pastors and leaders.• How healing it is when leaders  admit mistakes & repair ruptures.#samblack #covenanteyes #thehealingchurch #pornographyaddiction #therapy #healing #addiction #trauma #vulnerability #recovery #grace #gospel #transformationCovenant Eyes websiteFive Stones pastor kit (FREE from Covenant Eyes)The Healing Church book (Amazon) Support the showAwaken websiteRoots Retreat Men's IntensiveRoots Retreat Women's WorkshopAwaken Men & Women's support meeting info (including virtual)

"Send us a message! (questions, feedback, etc.)"People who struggle with unwanted sexual behavior including pornography use tend to have a really hard time finding help. Often they haven't had anywhere to go where they will actually receive help, rather than shaming or harsh criticism.SAM BLACK is the Director of Recovery Education at Covenant Eyes, a company providing helpful resources for people seeking freedom from porn. He is also the author of The Healing Church: What Churches Get Wrong About Pornography, and How to Fix It.Sam believes churches need to be the safest places on earth for people to find help and change. But sadly this is far too rarely the case. Our communities that should provide healing too often react with harsh judgmentalism toward those who struggle. Sam's book seeks to equip leaders to better understand what's  going on under the presenting problem, and how they can offer true safety and help to those who need it.Episode 51 | Sam Black: Safe People, Safe Places, Safe Process will be available Tuesday, November 25th!#samblack #covenanteyes #thehealingchurch #pornographyaddiction #therapy #healing #addiction #trauma #vulnerability #recovery #grace #gospel #transformationSupport the showAwaken websiteRoots Retreat Men's IntensiveRoots Retreat Women's WorkshopAwaken Men & Women's support meeting info (including virtual)

Feel safe and fall into the deepest sleep with this guided meditation. This healing practice will help you build "The Safe Place" by drawing on your most comforting memories, aspirations, and imagination. By inviting a profound feeling of being safely held, you regulate your nervous system and create an inner sanctuary where anxiety and restlessness cannot follow. With repetitive listening, the visualizations of your cells knitting into a safety blanket help fade old, unwanted neural pathways, making space for new messages of protection and well-being. Science proves the power of consistent positive messaging on the body's ability to heal and rest. You are safe. You are held. And you deserve to feel good in your body.

Today I'm talking about how to create a real safe space so your brain and body can downshift, regulate, and actually recover—especially when the world feels loud and chaotic. Even if you've been eating well, taking your supplements, moving your body, and still feel dysregulated, this might be the missing layer: your environment and boundaries. Why this matters We're processing more inputs than our nervous systems evolved for—constant news, social feeds, and everyone else's emotions at work and at home. That unseen load keeps cortisol revved and makes it hard to feel grounded, sleep deeply, and digest well. If you don't have a calm place to land, everything feels harder. What I cover in this episode The nervous system cost of "always on" and why your stress response takes longer to reset now. How to spot dysregulation at home (it's often not about the puppy, the purchase, or the dinner choice). Creating sanctuary in real life when you share space with others—and they're dysregulated too. Boundaries that lower friction (what we discuss, when we discuss it, and why timing matters). The power of temporary unplugging: how 48 hours off social + dim evenings can change your sleep and mood within days. Scripts that help in the moment so you can opt-out of hot-button conversations without escalating conflict. Why rest isn't laziness (yes, I want you to schedule the nap—your cortisol curve will thank you). Practical steps you can start tonight Evening calm protocol (90 minutes): soft lighting only, no overheads; music or quiet; screens off at a set time. House rules that preserve peace: choose one window per week for budget/"new purchase" talks; table all non-urgent ideas until then. Weekend reset: tell your people you're going phone-off from Friday night to Sunday night; no news, no feeds. Conversation boundaries: pleasant/creative topics on weeknights; heavier topics reserved for agreed times. Sanctuary cues: a chair, blanket, tea, journal—same place, same time—so your body learns "we're safe now." Micro-breaks that count: 10-minute outside walks, eyes off screens, slow exhales (4 seconds in, 6–8 seconds out). Permission to rest: if afternoon fatigue hits, a 20–30 minute nap is a tool, not a failure. What changes when you do this Sleep comes easier and feels deeper. Mood smooths out; reactivity drops. Digestion calms (less bloat, better motility). Clarity returns—you can actually see what to work on next. Ready for a guided first week?
