Music for the Soul

What if one five-minute message could strengthen another man's faith, marriage, and fatherhood? In this unique and unexpected episode of Father On Purpose, Lawson steps out solo (kind of...) to share a heartfelt encouragement rooted in Scripture, brotherhood, and years of walking alongside Kent Evans. You'll also get some behind the scenes experience from producer Alex, Kent's oldest son. If you learn one thing from this episode, we hope it's this: no dad is meant to do life alone. God gave us the gift of community to sharpen, steady, and strengthen us. This episode also serves as a special thank you to Kent Evans, co-founder of Manhood Journey and the mind behind Father On Purpose. From Lawson, Alex, and the countless dads whose lives have been changed by Kent, we are truly grateful.   Lawson introduces the idea of an "Iron Circle," a small group of men who walk with you through fatherhood, marriage, and faith. Drawing from Proverbs 27:17, Ecclesiastes 4, and 1 Thessalonians 5, he challenges dads to intentionally encourage the men God has placed in their lives, not someday, but now.   You'll hear why encouragement is not optional for Christian men, how Kent's obedience helped shape Manhood Journey, and why Scripture, not personality, must always be the foundation of biblical fatherhood. If you've ever felt isolated as a dad, this episode is for you. You are not meant to father alone, so go hunt for community that helps you on your journey of becoming a Father On Purpose. Merry Christmas from Kent, Lawson, and Alex!   Learn more about the Iron Circle here: https://manhoodjourney.org/iron-circle/   Become an Anger Free Dad today: https://manhoodjourney.org/anger-free-dad/   We've launched video now!

After a twenty-year career as a business leader, he embarked on biblical Fatherhood ministry projects. He's appeared on television, radio, web outlets and podcasts. He's spoken at parenting and men's events, and authored four books. The first, Wise Guys: Unlocking Hidden Wisdom from the Men Around You, was written to help men learn how to find mentors and wise counsel. The latest, Don't Bench Yourself: How to Stay in the Game Even When You Want to Quit, aims to help dads stay present in their roles as fathers and husbands even when they feel like giving up. Kent's life has been radically affected by godly mentors and his lovely wife, April. They have been married thirty years and have five sons and one daughter-in-law. He lives in Louisville, Kentucky.   Lawson Brown is husband to his high school sweetheart, a father of two young adult daughters, has been a business leader since 1995, and is a former Marine. He served as a small group leader for teenage boys for many years, helped start the Christian media ministry City on a Hill Productions, then later Sanctuary – a new church in Kennesaw, GA – where he served as its leader for Men's Ministry. Lawson's journey of faith has always been centered in a grounding from his wife, Audrey, and supported throughout by many men whom he's found as brothers along the way. His family is nearing an empty nest phase and has recently relocated to the Florida Gulf Coast beaches area.

In this Distance Reiki Share discussion, Colleen and Robyn Benelli explore Inner Vision as part of the Eagle Mouse Vision five week series. Inner Vision is the perspective that brings awareness inward, where intuition, instinct, imagination, and personal truth live. This conversation focuses on how Reiki helps you hear yourself clearly and perceive your path from within. We explain how Eagle Vision offers a wide view of your life, Mouse Vision brings attention to immediate details, and Inner Vision integrates both by guiding you into the Sanctuary of the Soul. Through Reiki, the Bridge of Light takes awareness inward, unifying the external and internal sources of spiritual insight. Inner Vision reveals gifts, talents, and qualities that have developed across your life and helps you understand what you want to carry forward into new beginnings. This discussion includes reflections on • How Reiki supports inner guidance • The Sanctuary of the Soul as an inner realm of awareness • The role of intuition, instinct, and imagination • The clair senses and how intuition is perceived • Listening to yourself at spiritual, emotional, and practical levels • Understanding life cycles, completions, and new beginnings • Perceiving your path behind you, around you, and ahead of you • Integrating spiritual insight with daily life and practical realities We share how Reiki creates alignment between higher consciousness, heart awareness, gut knowing, and logical thought so that guidance becomes practical and usable in everyday life. Inner Vision is not about effort. It is about listening, receiving, and allowing clarity to emerge naturally. This recording prepares participants for the Inner Vision Reiki journey, which is offered in the following video. Together, the discussion and journey support deeper self awareness, discernment, and confidence in your own guidance.

We close out Season 8 with a very special episode that is particularly poignant in this holiday season when people of many faiths are called to reflect on our core values. We are joined by Reverend Jackson who is currently the Associate Conference Minister for Justice and Witness Ministries in the Central Atlantic Conference in the United Church of Christ. Reverend Jackson has been the pastor at the United Church of Christ of Seneca Valley in Germantown, Maryland since 2016. She earned her Master of Divinity degree in 2012 from Wesley Theological Seminary. She also holds a Master of Social Work from Fordham University and a Bachelor's in Social Relations and Public Policy from Michigan State University.In this conversation, Reverend Jackson discusses the evolving role of sanctuary churches in the context of immigration and the legal risks they face. Since the withdrawal of federal guidance designating protected locations such as churches went into effect, it is more difficult for churches to provide sanctuary for refugees at risk for being deported to dangerous and life-threatening situations. A coalition of religious organizations has since brought a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security arguing that this policy violates the right to expression of faith and freedom of religion.Reverend Jackson discusses the theological and moral imperative to support immigrants that arises from multiple biblical texts, and the calling on Christians to take risks for their faith. Reverend Jackson advocates for a proactive approach to community involvement and the need for churches to educate themselves about local laws and the realities of immigration. Churches must advocate for their rights to practice their faith without government interference. She reminds us that love for one's neighbor is a core tenant of Christian faith. The biblical texts clearly demonstrate that this imperative applies to all people around us, regardless of status.Links to organizations proving support to immigrants:https://www.ilrc.orghttps://unitedwedream.org

Colossians 1:13-14 Preached in the Sanctuary of Bethesda Shalom, England, Sunday 21st December, 2025. 

The Sanctuary for Independent Media was faced with the unexpected and difficult decision to remove the taller of the two spruce trees in front of its main space after the installation of a new access ramp for the Sanctuary's front entrance resulted in the damaging of two significant roots of that giant beauty. Guidance was given by tree lover Jack Magai of More Trees Arborist Collective, and he spoke with Sina Basila Hickey about his assessment and what we can learn from this situation.

The name Ed Carlson is synonymous with the Audubon Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary and he could rightfully be described as a legendary figure in the Southwest Florida environmental community. He passed away on Dec. 9 at the age of 75. Carlson's stewardship of the sanctuary began when he stumbled into an internship right as he was graduating from high school in Miami in the late 1960s. He studied zoology and ornithology in college at University of South Florida with an eye on working with the land and water and wildlife. When Audubon received a grant to study wetlands from the National Science Foundation - right as he graduated from USF - it led him back to the sanctuary and he never left. We remember him through a conversation recorded in 2019.

With a connected web of life all around us. Today's guest, Angell Deer is a mystic medicine man and an author of the newest book, Becoming the Medicine. He shares so many beautiful shamanic tools and experiences to get you started on your path of opening up this right side up world for yourself. Join us to find out more! Angell Deer is trained as a veterinarian, medicine man, animist teacher, ordained minister, beekeeper, herbalist, reiki master, breathwork practitioner, and meditation teacher, international speaker, and sacred disruptor.  Angell has dedicated his life to remembering and transmitting ancient wisdom.

READ: Becoming the Medicine https://www.amazon.com/Becoming-Medicine-Sacred-Shamanic-Practice/dp/B0G25F2YQ5/ ANGELL DEER BIO Angell Deer is a devoted steward of rewilding projects across the U.S. and Europe. He walks the path of Andean Cosmology and Norse Shamanism, learning from elders, communing with the land, and listening for the old songs that still live in the trees, the bones, and the breath.  A weaver of stories, people, and worlds, he teaches from the fertile ground where grief meets grace, and where purpose is forged in the fire of personal and planetary transformation. His work calls us back to a more-than-human world, where healing is relational, and prayer is made with both hands in the soil.  He has spoken at Harvard Business School, the French Embassy in New York, and global gatherings such as the French Davos Forum and the Concert for Earth, where he was honored as an “Earth Rockstar.”  He now lives with his wife and children at La Ferme du Cerf Bleu, a renovated 18th-century farm in Burgundy, France, in devotion to land, community, and the mystery—tending to trees, bees, and ancestral ceremony.

NULLIFICATION AND THE WEAPONIZATION OF IMPEACHMENT Colleague Victor Davis Hanson. The discussion covers modern "nullification," where jurisdictions like sanctuary cities deliberately ignore federal immigration laws, creating a dangerous legal asymmetry. Hanson also argues that the impeachment process has been distorted into a political tool used to punish first-term presidents who lose congressional majorities, rather than for genuine high crimes. He contends that the dual impeachment of Donald Trump set a destructive precedent that effectively nullifies the electoral will of the citizenry. NUMBER 6

California has the highest cost of living, crushing taxes, growing homelessness, and a government that seems addicted to regulation and spending. Sheriff Chad Bianco says the “California Dream” is slipping away — and he's running for Governor to bring it back.In this episode of Life Lessons with Dr. Bob, Sheriff Bianco lays out a blunt law-and-order case for why the state is failing — and what he says it will take to reverse course: cutting red tape, making California business-friendly again, confronting the homelessness crisis with treatment that actually works, and restoring public safety as the state's first responsibility. He also addresses attacks and "controversies" surrounding his record and explains why he can win as a Republican in the histroricly blue California.In this conversation, they break down:⚪Why Bianco says California's policies are driving people and businesses out⚪Homelessness, mental illness, and the “homeless industrial complex”⚪Taxes, regulation, and why housing costs are so high⚪Sanctuary-state law (SB 54) and the real-world public-safety effects he argues it creates ⚪COVID-era enforcement: masks, closures, and public trust⚪How he plans to win independents — and even some DemocratsLearn more about the campaign: BiancoForGovernor.com If you enjoyed this episode, subscribe for more conversations that challenge the narrative and defend the idea that America — and California — can still be the land of opportunity.

For the first time in weeks, Trump sounded like Trump — focused, disciplined, and deadly clear. In this episode, Tara breaks down the speech that finally connected the dots for everyday Americans: inflation + housing costs + illegal immigration + corruption — all tied together in one message. From affordability and interest rates to housing shortages, welfare incentives, crushed wages, and massive fraud, this was the explanation millions of Americans have been waiting to hear — especially those who don't live on talk radio.

"Good enough" is not a failure. It is a freedom.Welcome to the final day of The Holiday Sanctuary. As we reach the peak of the season, it is easy to fall into the trap of "Compare and Despair." We scroll through social media seeing perfect trees, perfect dinners, and perfect families, and suddenly, our reality feels like it's lacking. We carry the weight of impossible expectations, trying to create a magic moment at the expense of our own mental health.In today's finale, Releasing the Pressure to be Perfect, we are putting those burdens down. We are choosing connection over perfection.In this session, you will experience:4-7-8 Breathing: A deep relaxation technique (often called the "natural tranquilizer" for the nervous system) to help you exhale tension and frustration.The "Heavy Baggage" Visualization: A liberating mental exercise where we identify the heavy bags we are carrying—labeled "Expectations," "Money," and "Perfection"—and physically visualize setting them down and walking away lighter.Affirmations for Acceptance: "I release the need for perfection." "I choose presence over pressure."Thank you for taking this four-day journey with me. Remember: You are enough, exactly as you are.Series Complete.

You do not have to absorb the stress of the people around you.Welcome to Day 3 of The Holiday Sanctuary. As we move deeper into the week, social obligations—office parties, family calls, and crowded shops—often increase. For those of us who are sensitive, this contact can feel draining. We often leave these interactions feeling exhausted, not because we did too much, but because we felt too much.In today's episode, Protecting Your Energy Field, we are building a boundary. We are learning the difference between empathy (understanding someone) and absorption (taking on their emotions).In this session, you will experience:The Cleansing Breath: A visualization-based breathwork technique where you inhale clear, restorative light and exhale the grey smoke of other people's tension.The "Glass Wall" Visualization: A powerful mental exercise to construct a transparent shield around you. This allows you to see and hear the world clearly, but ensures that negativity simply bounces off your field rather than sinking in.Affirmations for Boundaries: "I observe stress without absorbing it." "I am the guardian of my own energy."Carry this shield with you into every room you enter today.Next Up: Join me tomorrow for the final session, Day 4, where we will focus on "The Celebration"—finding genuine joy in the season on your own terms.
