At the State of the Union, Donald Trump issued a direct challenge: If the first duty of government is to protect American citizens — stand up. Many Democrats stayed seated. Today's episode connects that moment to border numbers, national security warnings, Iranian nationals released into the U.S., and the global implications of escalating tensions with Iran. From sanctuary cities to Middle East geopolitics, we examine the claim that domestic immigration policy has created a national security vulnerability — and how that intersects with America's broader confrontation abroad. Opening Hook (On-Air Tease) If protecting Americans is controversial… what does that say about the state of our politics? And if border policy meets global conflict — are we prepared?

Bonus Episode #64 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast.

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.

Today on Joe Oltmann Untamed, Joe's fired up and ready to unpack President Trump's State of the Union address, the best one Joe has ever heard. Trump laid it all out, calling out Democrats for sitting on their hands while he honored victims of illegal immigration, slamming Sanctuary cities and policies, and exposing the hypocrisy of leaders like NYC's Mamdani who demand ID to shovel snow but not to vote. He outed the Democrats all night. This wasn't just a speech, it was a masterclass in putting Americans first.I'm joined by Kyle Seraphin, the recovering FBI whistleblower who's seen the deep state up close, to break down what's really happening behind the scenes. From Kash Patel's questionable moves to the left's open threats of firings, arrests, and lawsuits if they regain power, we're connecting the dots on how the system protects itself while patriots like Tina Peters pay the price. This is about more than politics, it's about the survival of the republic.We close with the raw contrast: Joy Reid's vulgar “People's State of the Union” meltdown, Fetterman sounding like the sanest Democrat in the room, and Spanberger's Virginia agenda that's already attacking gun rights, redistricting, and election integrity. Trump's closing words will leave you fired up and ready to fight. This episode is unfiltered, no-holds-barred truth don't miss it.

Your body is a living energy system.Not just muscle and bone — a network of light energy pathways called meridians that carry prana, sustain your organs, regulate your emotions, and express your consciousness in the world.And those pathways carry more than your own energy.They can carry what your lineage didn't finish processing.This is Week 5 of the Ten Bodies Series — the Fifth Body: the Physical Body.The teaching: Be Balanced and Teach.The Physical Body is the sacred living form that houses the soul.The vessel through which healing becomes real, service becomes embodied, and what gets passed down to the next generation begins to change.In this episode:
"Is any thing too hard for the Lord?" This is the question that defines the lives of Abraham and Sarah. From a biological impossibility to a heartbreaking command on a mountain top, their journey proves that God can bring life out of "deadness"—if we are willing to trust Him with everything. Summary: In this episode, we study Genesis 18–23, following the "Father of the Faithful" and the "Mother of Nations" through their ultimate trials. We explore the transition from the joy of Isaac's birth to the gut-wrenching climb up Mount Moriah. The Promise to Sarah: We look at the visit of the three messengers and the shift from Sarah's "laugh of doubt" to her "laugh of joy." We discuss how she received strength to conceive because she "judged him faithful who had promised". The Sacrifice of Isaac: We dive deep into the "Abrahamic Test." Why would a God who abhors human sacrifice command this? We explore the parallels between Abraham offering Isaac and Heavenly Father offering His Only Begotten Son. Life from Death: Using Paul's words in Romans and Hebrews, we analyze how Abraham was able to obey because he accounted that "God was able to raise him up, even from the dead". Jehovah-Jireh: We discuss the significance of the "ram in the thicket" and the name "The Lord Will Provide," exploring how God provides the lamb for us when we cannot provide it for ourselves. The Burial of Sarah: We reflect on the end of Sarah's mortal journey and the faith required to buy a piece of the Promised Land as a "possession of a buryingplace." Call-to-Action: Have you ever had to surrender something you loved back to the Lord, trusting that He had a better plan? How did you find the strength to keep walking up your own "Mount Moriah"? Share your testimony in the comments. To continue your journey toward becoming "Unshaken," please like, subscribe, and share this video with someone who needs a reminder that the Lord will provide.

Last night's State of the Union wasn't just a speech—it was a series of unforgettable, viral moments exposing Democratic priorities in stark contrast to Trump's message of American safety. From sanctuary cities protecting violent criminals to tragic stories of victims of Democrat policies, the nation saw it all. Republicans stood and cheered while Democrats sat, glared, and refused to honor human life. This episode breaks down the most shocking moments, the viral-ready camera work, and why Trump's messaging is dominating social media.
From The Sisterhood to The Institute, Katherine Bradley joins the WCCS to discuss the dark limits of human connection, “flock phenomena,” and how she balances life as a Head of Year with writing high-concept thrillers.By The Writing Community Chat ShowHow do you find the time to write a psychological thriller when you're also a full-time English teacher and Head of Year responsible for 300 students?This week on the Writing Community Chat Show—recently ranked the #3 writing podcast in the UK—we sat down with the brilliant Katherine Bradley. Known for her critically acclaimed novel The Sisterhood, Katherine is back with a haunting new release, The Institute, described as The Sanctuary meets Shutter Island.In this episode, we dive deep into the Road to Writing, the reality of taking brutal feedback, and why Katherine is frequently terrified by the very technology she writes about.Watch the Full Interview.You can watch the full live stream below or listen to the podcast episode directly on this page.The Road to Writing: Filter Coffee and Tenacity.Katherine's journey wasn't an overnight success. She shared how she used to get to a cafe at 7:30 AM every morning before her office job, armed with two cups of filter coffee and a determination to make her dream a reality.Key Takeaways for Authors:* Bet on Yourself: Katherine turned down a major promotion because she knew the extra responsibility would kill her writing discipline.* The “No Tea” Rule: She recalled a pivotal piece of feedback from an agent: “No one wants to read about people drinking tea.” Every page must move the story forward.* Finding the Right Agent: Katherine emphasizes the importance of a partnership. She is now with Stephanie Glencross at David Higham Associates, but she's had her share of “mean” agents in the past. Her advice? Don't be desperate; find someone who actually likes your genre.What's the Story? The Institute.Katherine's latest book, The Institute, is set on a remote island off the west coast of Scotland.The story follows Billy, a young woman who wakes up after a flocking event where her friends died in a zombie-like trance. She is sent to the mysterious Arbor Institute, a spa-like facility for brain injuries that feels more like a gilded cage.Katherine was inspired by flock phenomena; the way starlings move as one—and the terrifying idea of what happens when human beings lose their individual agency to a collective, tech-driven impulse.Black Mirror and the Fear of “What If?”The conversation took a dark turn into the world of AI and technology. Katherine admitted that while she writes about these high-concept near-dystopias, she is frequently terrified by the real world.“I really like writing about things that worry people... are we right to be worried, or are we just worried about being worried?”From 1984-esque government control to the murky ethics of the pharmaceutical industry, Katherine uses her fiction to work through the anxieties of the modern age.Support the Author.* Pick up The Institute: [Available here]* Follow Katherine Bradley: Find her on Twitter/X at @KateBradley and on Instagram.Join the Community.If you enjoyed this interview, make sure to subscribe to our Substack for more articles, industry tips, and behind-the-scenes content from our 380+ interviews with the world's best authors.The WCCS: Together as one, we get it done!Enjoying the show?

In this deeply illuminating episode of Dr. Lotte: Science with Soul, I sit down with Eimear Burke, Chosen Chief of the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids (OBOD), counselling psychologist, celebrant, and priestess dedicated to Danú. Together we explore: ✦ What Druidry truly is — beyond stereotypes ✦ The Wheel of the Year and seasonal sacred festivals ✦ The intersection of psychology and earth-based spirituality ✦ Ancient Irish myth and restoring women's voices in storytelling ✦ Ritual, ceremony, and honoring the ancestors ✦ The Druid perspective on the afterlife and reincarnation ✦ The deeper meaning of life Eimear shares how Druidry serves not just as a spiritual path, but as a living value system rooted in reverence for nature, ethics, wisdom, service, and gratitude. This conversation weaves myth, land, ancestry, and consciousness into a powerful reminder that spirituality can be embodied, ecological, and deeply personal. If you've ever felt called to ancient wisdom traditions or wondered whether Druidry might resonate with your soul, this episode offers clarity and depth. Please like, subscribe, and share this episode with someone exploring Druidry, magic, and earth-based spirituality.

“Because the truth is, there's a lot of magical hotels out there. But what makes something truly unique is the location in which it is, because our hotels aren't buildings that were built. They are beautiful essences, that were renovated with love and were kept the same. They were just polished. Nothing from our hotels was changed.”We're in great company with Marialuisa D'Angelo, the Managing Director of The D'Angelo Family Collection, a thoughtfully curated portfolio of intimate boutique hotels and organic vineyards, woven across three of Italy's most evocative regions—Lecce, Matera, and Lake Como. Alongside her parents, Marialuisa has rebuilt these rare sanctuaries with unwavering intention—spaces where local artisans and farms shape every sensory detail, where silence is luxury, and where the art of slowing down, “il dolce far niente,” feels like coming home. In this episode, Marialuisa shares how a childhood spent moving between eight countries taught her that stories are humanity's shared currency, and how that belief now shapes every meal, every room, every moment at her family's collection.Top Takeaways[2:00] Born in Southern Italy but raised across eight countries, Marialuisa developed a profound love of storytelling and realized the power of human connection from an early age. [5:10] Her parents' return to Italy was rooted in gratitude—a desire to give back to the country that shaped them. Marialuisa's path, however, was her own—a desire to return to the family business where she could tell stories that mattered.[10:20] It started in Matera, her father's hometown, with a neglected palazzo. Success there sparked Villa Mojana on Lake Como, then Palazzo Zimara in Lecce—three intimate sanctuaries born from opportunity and deep regional roots.[12:25] In a world where constant connection breeds disconnection, The D'Angelo Family Collection are sanctuaries designed to pause that cycle—where each space invites guests to simply be present.[16:00] Three distinct landscapes, one philosophy—Lecce's baroque streets and limestone walls echo Florence's grandeur, Lake Como offers Alpine silence surrounded by green, Matera's neolithic caves whisper ancient history. Each property is lovingly restored—never reinvented—preserving the essence of places where culture and agriculture intertwine.[18:40] Guided by her mother's architectural motto "less is more"—guests feel home away from home, surrounded by the authentic essence of the place from the strategic lighting to the local artisans, and regional services.[22:55] Menus shift monthly with the seasons, sourced in a true kilometer zero philosophy. Open kitchens invite chefs to share stories of local producers directly with guests, while communal tables turn strangers into friends and meals into memories.[28:10] The D'Angelo Family's organic wines anchor every property through tastings, wine baths, pairing menus, and workshops. Each sip connects guests to volcanic terroir and the belief that true hospitality is about meaningful experience, not just consumption.[32:10] In a generation creating memories through screens, Marialuisa hopes to instill the magic of authenticity, identity, and real connection—believing family businesses leave the most meaningful footprints on earth.Notable MentionsThe Sassi of Matera, UNESCO World Heritage SiteArcidiaconata, Organic Aglianico del Vulture D.O.C.Cuccù from MateraLimonta on Lake ComoVisit For YourselfThe D'Angelo Family Collection Website | @thedangelofamilycollectionPalazzo Zimara | @palazzozimara | @labocca_restaurant_Villa Mojana di Limonta | @villa_mojana_bellagioIl Palazzotto | @ilpalazzottomatera Radino Wine Bistrot | Francesco Radino Wine | @radinowine10% off when you email directly with code SIGC25
Paul Perez, President of the National Border Patrol Council, details the challenges facing Customs and Border Patrol agents under the current political climate. He discusses morale amid constant criticism from local politicians and the media, highlights the impact of the partial government shutdown on agents' pay, and praises Trump-era policies that empowered law enforcement to secure the border efficiently. Perez stresses the professionalism and training of agents, calls out sanctuary city policies, and warns that further political interference could undo hard-won progress.

In this episode of Revolutionary Women, I speak with Kyla Reynolds P'an, Head of Development for Pangea Trust, a UK–Portugal charity building Europe's first large-scale elephant sanctuary in Portugal's Alentejo region. Pangea Trust is creating a sanctuary for elephants currently living in captivity across Europe, offering a lifelong home designed for recovery, space, and social connection. We discuss what it takes to build an elephant sanctuary from the ground up, from fundraising and public awareness to infrastructure, international logistics, and preparing for the arrival of Kariba, the sanctuary's first elephant, expected in 2026. Beyond wildlife conservation, this conversation explores career evolution, living between cultures, and how seasons of work, including raising a family, shape the paths we take later. Kyla shares what it looks like to step into a new chapter with clarity and purpose. If you're interested in elephant conservation, nonprofit leadership, philanthropy in Europe, or stories of women creating change in their communities, this episode offers both depth and perspective. Kyla Reynolds P'an is Head of Development for Pangea Trust, a UK/Portugal based charity building Europe's largest and most comprehensive elephant sanctuary in the Alentejo region of Portugal. The sanctuary will serve as a compassionate solution for Europe's zoos and circuses seeking a life-long home for their elephants. Kyla holds a Master's in Journalism and is the mom of two teenagers. She has more than 20 years of front-line development experience under her belt, including the Smithsonian Institution, Boston University, Harvard Medical School and Mass Audubon.

Welcome to Day 2800 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2800 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 114:1-8 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2800 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day two thousand eight hundred of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Wisdom-Trek: The Earth Trembles – When the Presence Moves In. Today is a milestone day! We have reached day two thousand eight hundred. That is a lot of trekking, and I am so grateful you are walking this path with me. We are celebrating this milestone by stepping into one of the most compact, high-energy psalms in the entire Bible. We are exploring Psalm One Hundred Fourteen, covering the entire hymn, verses one through eight, in the New Living Translation. In our previous trek through Psalm One Hundred Thirteen, we began the "Egyptian Hallel"—the series of psalms sung at the Passover. We saw the "Stooping God" who sits high above the nations but bends down low to lift the poor from the dust and the barren woman from her grief. That psalm set the theological stage: God is great because He is humble. Psalm One Hundred Fourteen moves from theology to Theophany. A "Theophany" is a visible manifestation of God. This psalm describes what happened when that "Stooping God" actually touched down on planet Earth to lead His people out of Egypt. It is a psalm of movement. In just eight verses, we see a nation moving out, a sea fleeing, a river turning back, mountains skipping like scared sheep, and the solid rock turning into a fountain. It describes the sheer, terrifying, joyful disruption that occurs when the Holy One invades the realm of chaos. In Jewish tradition, this psalm is sung right before the Passover meal. It recounts the moment Israel became God's peculiar treasure. So, let us imagine ourselves in the Upper Room, or perhaps standing on the shores of the Red Sea, as we witness the earth tremble at the presence of the Lord. The First Segment is: The Great Migration: Establishing the Sanctuary. Psalm One Hundred Fourteen: verses one through two. When Israel went out of Egypt, Jacob from a people of strange language, Judah became God's sanctuary, Israel his dominion. The psalm begins with a historical flashback to the defining moment of the Old Testament: The Exodus. "When Israel went out of Egypt, Jacob from a people of strange language..." The mention of a "strange language" (or foreign tongue) emphasizes the alienation of Israel. They were strangers in a strange land. In the Ancient Israelite worldview, Egypt was not just a political oppressor; it was a spiritual "Iron Furnace." It was the domain of foreign gods—Ra, Osiris, Horus. Israel was living in a culture where the very words spoken were dedicated to idols. To leave Egypt was to leave the jurisdiction of these foreign elohim. But look at what happens the moment they step out: "Judah became God's sanctuary, Israel his dominion." This is a profound statement of Cosmic...
7:00 pm in the Sanctuary & online Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Lenten season, a time of reflection, repentance, and spiritual growth leading up to Easter. We will begin the Lenten season with scripture, prayers, Communion, and for those who desire the imposition of ashes as a sign of our unity with Christ and with one another. We hope that you will join us as we begin this journey together, and that this season of Lent will be a time of deeper spiritual growth and closer relationship with God. May God bless you on this Ash Wednesday and throughout the Lenten season. If you cannot attend in person, please visit our Watch page to worship online.
The battle over DHS funding has erupted into a high-stakes political showdown—and the consequences could reshape U.S. immigration policy for years to come. In this episode, Lisa welcomes RJ Hauman & Mike Howell from the National Immigration Center for Enforcement to break down why Republicans pushed to separate DHS funding from the broader omnibus, how Democrats are leveraging the moment to target ICE and CBP, and what it means for border security and mass deportation efforts under President Trump. RJ & Mike dive into the internal GOP divide over immigration enforcement, the political strategy behind the shutdown, and the growing pressure from media narratives and activist movements. Plus, we examine the real-world impact on ICE agents, rising tensions in sanctuary cities, and the looming threat of midterm fallout. Key topics include: The DHS shutdown and funding standoff explained Efforts to isolate ICE and CBP—and why it matters Trump’s mass deportation agenda and political obstacles Media narratives vs. on-the-ground enforcement reality Sanctuary cities, voter laws, and the 2030 census implications Learn more about NICESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Land Podcast - The Pursuit of Land Ownership and Investing
Welcome to the land podcast, a platform for people looking to educate themselves in the world of land ownership, land investing, staying up to date with current land trends in the Midwest, and hearing from industry experts and professionals. On today's episode, we are back in the studio talking with Jeff Helmers and Cathryn Howland. We discuss: Debt-free living accelerates land ownership. Land rarely loses value over time. 40 acres can outperform larger farms. Sanctuaries create daylight deer movement. Fewer stands = more mature bucks. Chestnuts outperform acorns 100:1. Entry/exit is everything. Stop thinking like a hunter — think like a deer. Stack the odds instead of hunting luck. Start small and build over time. And so much more!
