In her latest book, Sanctuary People: Faith Based Organizing in Latina/o Communities (NYU Press, 2024), Dr. Gina Perez explores sanctuary practices in Ohio, locating them in broader local and national efforts to provide refuge and care in the face of the challenges facing Latina/o communities in a moment of increased surveillance, migrant detention, displacement, and economic and social marginalization. Pérez argues for a conceptualization of sanctuary that is capacious, placing support of Puerto Ricans displaced in the wake of Hurricane Maria within the broader practices of sanctuary and expanding our understandings of the movement that addresses the precarious conditions of Latinas/os beyond migration status.Based on four years of ethnographic research and interviews at the local, state, and national levels, Sanctuary People offers a compelling exploration of the ways in which faith communities are creating new activist strategies and enacting new forms of solidarity, working within the sometimes conflicting ideological space between religion and activism to answer the call of justice and live their faith. Dr. Gina Perez is a cultural anthropologist and chair of the Department of Comparative American Studies at Oberlin College. She is the author of two award-winning books—The Near Northwest Side Story: Gender, Migration and Puerto Rican Families (2004, University of California Press) and Citizen, Student, Soldier: Latina/o Youth, JROTC and the American Dream (2015, New York University Press). Pérez's research interests include Latinas/os, youth, militarism, gender, migration, urban ethnography, and faith-based organizing. Her new project focuses on sanctuary movements and multiethnic faith-based organizing among Latina/o communities in Ohio. Learn more about your ad choices.

I fell back in love with yoga after a minor back injury in 2022. To be exact, it happened on 2/2/22 -- and yes, I was paying attention to the sign. The sign was to slow down. To stop trying to do everything myself (as a firstborn productivity addict, that has been a hard lesson to learn). It was during Covid, I was rushing to cram in a stationary bike ride and squats before my Sanctuary community was meeting. I picked up the heavy weight, forgot to focus on form -- even though I used to be a personal trainer and group fitness instructor (great gig post-divorce: free gym membership) -- and it was putting on my leggings afterwards that I realized I couldn't move. Damn those leggings. That led to an internal breakdown and a real reckoning. I was pushing, striving, cramming, overdoing. It was yoga though, with all that stretching, physically and mentally,  that brought me back to the only real truth: the present moment. This conversation with my friend Neale Donald Walsch will stretch you in the best way. Like your favorite yoga class, it might be uncomfortable for a second and then something opens. Neale shares so many expansive and honest things I've heard about God, love, forgiveness, and who you actually are. Stay with us for the close because the way he ends this one – well, I don't want to give it away – but it's worth your time. I always love hearing where you've been stretched lately, and how you're learning to trust what's on the other side of that. With so much love, Julie P.S. A 90-minute Soul-Alignment Intensive Session is absolute alchemy and exactly what it sounds like. If you're ready for a real breakthrough, I'd love to support you stretching yourself to what's possible. ✨ juliereisler.com/calendar ✨   Takeaways Your life is not about you; it's about everyone you touch. There is no absolute right or wrong; morality evolves. Love is all that matters; forgiveness is unnecessary when understood. The divine is not separate from us; we are individuation of divinity. Contrast and opposites are essential for experience and growth.   About Neale Donald Walsch Neale Donald Walsch is the author of the global phenomenon Conversations with God, published in 37 languages and read by millions around the world. What began as an angry private letter to God became one of the most beloved spiritual texts of our time. He is also the author of Letters to a Young Seeker and continues to share these teachings with people across the globe.

This Day in Legal History: Title IXOn June 23, 1972, President Richard Nixon signed the Education Amendments of 1972, a sweeping federal education law that included what became one of the most consequential civil rights provisions in American history: Title IX. Title IX stated that no person in the United States, on the basis of sex, could be excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of, or subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. The language was brief, but its legal effect was enormous because it tied sex-equality obligations to the federal funding received by schools, colleges, and universities. That structure gave the federal government a powerful enforcement tool: institutions that accepted federal education money also had to comply with anti-discrimination rules.Although Title IX is often remembered for transforming women's and girls' athletics, the law was never limited to sports. It also affected admissions, scholarships, hiring, classroom access, pregnancy discrimination, and later legal debates over sexual harassment and institutional responsibility. Before Title IX, many educational institutions openly limited opportunities for women, including through quotas, unequal athletic resources, and restricted access to professional programs. The statute helped turn those practices into legal liabilities rather than accepted traditions. In later decades, courts and federal agencies would shape Title IX's meaning through regulations, enforcement actions, and major cases interpreting what counts as sex discrimination in education. Its influence reached far beyond individual lawsuits because schools had to rethink policies, reporting systems, athletic budgets, and equal-access obligations.Title IX also became a model for how civil rights law can operate through spending power, using federal money as the hook for national anti-discrimination standards. Its passage showed that a single sentence in a larger statute could become a foundation for generations of legal, political, and cultural change. On June 23, 1972, the federal government did more than amend education law; it created a durable legal framework for challenging sex discrimination wherever public money supported educational opportunity.A federal judge in California dismissed the Trump administration's lawsuit challenging Los Angeles's limits on cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. The administration had argued that the city's ordinance was unconstitutional because it restricted the use of city resources to support federal immigration operations and limited the collection of citizenship-status information. U.S. District Judge Fernando Olguin rejected that argument, finding that Los Angeles was regulating the conduct of its own employees and agencies rather than trying to control the federal government. The dismissal was not necessarily the end of the case, because the judge allowed the administration to file an amended complaint. Los Angeles City Attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto praised the ruling, saying it confirmed that local governments can decide how to use their own personnel and resources. The lawsuit was filed after immigration-related protests in Los Angeles and after Trump sent troops to the city in response to unrest over deportation operations. The case is part of a broader Trump administration effort to challenge local “sanctuary” policies in Democratic-led jurisdictions. Similar administration lawsuits against Boston and Chicago have also been dismissed by federal judges. The White House did not immediately comment on the ruling. The decision leaves Los Angeles's ordinance intact for now while giving the federal government another chance to revise its legal claims.US court dismisses Trump administration lawsuit over Los Angeles immigration policy | ReutersA federal judge in Washington, D.C., blocked the Trump administration from using a revised immigration database to help states check voter rolls. The database, known as SAVE, is used by the Department of Homeland Security to verify citizenship and immigration status, but the administration had changed it to make bulk searches easier for state and local officials reviewing voter eligibility. U.S. District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan sided with voting-rights and privacy groups that argued the changes made the system less reliable and could wrongly remove eligible voters from registration lists. The challengers said the database can be outdated, especially when naturalized citizens are still incorrectly listed as noncitizens. The judge also found that the revamped system raised serious privacy concerns because it gave users access to sensitive information, including Social Security numbers. DHS criticized the ruling and framed the case as part of its effort to prevent noncitizen voting. The ruling comes as the Trump administration has tried to expand the federal government's role in election administration before the November 2026 midterm elections. Courts have already blocked several related efforts, including parts of executive orders involving proof-of-citizenship requirements and mail-ballot restrictions. The administration has also faced setbacks in lawsuits seeking full voter-roll data from states. For now, the decision limits how the federal government can use immigration records in voter-roll checks.Judge blocks Trump's use of revamped immigration database for voter checks | ReutersIn my Bloomberg column this week, I wrote about OpenAI's request that Treasury update an outdated R&D tax credit rule for computer-related research expenses. My argument is that OpenAI's position should not be dismissed as just another technology company asking for a more generous tax benefit. The problem is that the existing rule was designed for an older world of identifiable physical computers, not modern cloud computing, data centers, GPUs, and reserved compute capacity. Section 41 allows a research credit for certain amounts paid to another person for computer use in qualified research, but Treasury regulations narrow that benefit by requiring that the computer be owned and operated by someone else, located off the taxpayer's premises, and not be a computer for which the taxpayer is the “primary user.” That “primary user” test made more sense when a taxpayer could point to a discrete machine, but it becomes unstable when a company is buying access to capacity inside a provider-owned cloud or data center.I argue that reserved or exclusive use of computing capacity should not automatically be treated as ownership or abuse, because modern AI research may require dedicated capacity for security, speed, and performance reasons. The real question should be whether the taxpayer is buying a third-party service or has effectively acquired, operated, or taken control of the infrastructure. Treasury can still protect against abuse without treating ordinary commercial cloud arrangements as disguised ownership. I suggest that a practical safe harbor could presume service treatment where the provider owns, operates, maintains, and houses the equipment off the taxpayer's premises while bearing the incidents of ownership. That presumption should remain rebuttable where the taxpayer bears ownership-like risks or is simply routing its own equipment through another entity to claim the credit.The broader point is that modernizing the rule would not need to turn the R&D credit into an AI subsidy machine, but it would prevent an old regulatory framework from excluding a major category of modern research. The column closes with the idea that tax rules meant to police fake outsourcing should not end up penalizing real outsourcing just because the computing world no longer looks like it did when the rule was written.OpenAI's Call for Modernized R&D Credit Rule Makes Perfect Sense This is a public episode.

But I'm afraid to try something new."He: "אני פה בשבילך," חייכה יעל בעידוד.En: "I'm here for you," Yael smiled encouragingly.He: נעם, בן זוגה של תמר, דאג גם הוא.En: Noam, Tamar's partner, was also concerned.He: בערבים היה מטריד עצמו בשאלות על בריאותה וכיצד ישפיעו המיגרנות על עבודתה.En: In the evenings, he would trouble himself with questions about her health and how the migraines would affect her work.He: "אני יודע שאת אוהבת את המוזיאון. אבל אנחנו חייבים למצוא פתרון גם לכלכלה המשפחתית," הוא אמר לה בזמן ארוחת ערב.En: "I know you love the museum, but we must also find a solution for the family finances," he told her during dinner.He: תמר הנהנה, מבינה את דאגתו.En: Tamar nodded, understanding his concern.He: יום אחד, בזמן שסיירה ב"חדרי ישראל," פנתה תמר להדרכת קבוצה קטנה.En: One day, while touring the "Halls of Israel", Tamar turned to guide a small group.He: לפתע, תחושת חמצן רעננה הציפה את ראשה.En: Suddenly, a fresh sense of oxygen overwhelmed her head.He: היא עצרה ליד פסל עתיק, עיניה בוהות ומתרגשות ממראה שעורר בה השראה עמוקה.En: She stopped by an ancient sculpture, her eyes wide and excited by a sight that deeply inspired her.He: החוויה בו זמנית העניקה לה רוגע וסחרחורת מדהימה.En: The experience granted her both calmness and an incredible dizziness.He: "אולי יש גם תרפיה באמנות," חשבה תמר לעצמה, בתחושה מרעננת של תקווה.En: "Perhaps there's also therapy in art," Tamar thought to herself, feeling a refreshing sense of hope.He: בעקבות הכיוון החדש, היא נפגשה עם מטפל בשם מיכאל, שהמליצה יעל.En: Following this new direction, she met with a therapist named Michael, whom Yael had recommended.He: הם עבדו יחד על שימוש באומנות כגישה טיפולית.En: Together, they worked on using art as a therapeutic approach.He: לאט לאט, תמר מצאה איזון חדש בין טיפולים שונים.En: Slowly, Tamar found a new balance among different treatments.He: היא חזרה להרגיש מחוברת לעבודתה, מלווה בתחושת הקלה וחיוניות כשהמיגרנות פחתו.En: She began to feel connected to her work again, accompanied by a sense of relief and vitality as the migraines diminished.He: "אני שמח שאת מרגישה יותר טוב," אמר נעם בערב אחד, כאשר ישבו יחד על המרפסת.En: "I'm glad you're feeling better," Noam said one evening as they sat together on the balcony.He: "אני מעריך את הכנות שלך."En: "I appreciate your honesty."He: "גם אני לומדת לבקש עזרה," חייכה תמר בשלווה.En: "I'm also learning to ask for help," Tamar smiled serenely.He: כעת, העולם היה בהיר יותר תחת השמש הקיצית של ירושלים, והמוזיאון חזר להיות מקום של נחמה וחוויות עבור תמר.En: Now, the world was brighter under the summer sun of Jerusalem, and the museum returned to being a place of comfort and experiences for Tamar.He: היא התחברה מחודשת אל האומנות, וידעה שהיא נמצאת בדרך הנכונה.En: She reconnected to art and knew she was on the right path.He: היא ויעל התיישבו שוב בקפיטריה של המוזיאון, חולקות סיפור או שניים מחייהן, בין צלילי החיים שממשיכים לזרום סביבן.En: She and Yael sat again in the museum's cafeteria, sharing a story or two from their lives, amidst the sounds of life continuing to flow around them.He: המוזיאון לא היה רק ​​מקום עבודתה של תמר, אלא גם מקלט לעולם הפנימי שגילתה מחדש בדרכה הייחודית.En: The museum was not only Tamar's workplace but also a sanctuary for the inner world she rediscovered on her unique journey.

Why do you keep second-guessing yourself, even when part of you already knows what feels true?In this episode, I explore why self-doubt and overthinking often appear even when your intuition is present. Many sensitive and intuitive people struggle with second-guessing themselves because of subconscious fear, emotional conditioning, nervous system responses, and mental overprocessing that disconnects them from their inner knowing.We'll explore the deeper connection between intuition, fear, overthinking, emotional safety, and the “monkey mind”—the part of the mind that continually analyzes, questions, and tries to protect you from uncertainty or emotional discomfort.I also talk about different intuitive processing styles, including:• deep intuitive processing• empathic and emotional processing• fast intuitive insight• overthinking and mental looping• how intuitive people process decisions differentlyIn this episode:• Why you keep second-guessing yourself• Intuition vs fear and how to tell the difference• The connection between overthinking and self-doubt• How subconscious conditioning affects self-trust• Why fear of emotions can keep you stuck• Different intuitive processing styles and decision-making• Nervous system patterns that affect clarity• Grounding practices to support intuition and self-trustWe'll also explore why many people learn early in life to disconnect from their inner knowing in order to feel emotionally safe, accepted, or in control. Over time, those protective patterns can override intuition and create chronic self-doubt or indecision.One of the most important parts of intuitive development is learning how to recognize when fear, conditioning, or overthinking are interfering with what you already know internally.If you've ever wondered:“Why do I second-guess myself?”“How do I trust my intuition?”“What's the difference between intuition and fear?”“Why do I overthink my decisions?”or “Why do I know something deep down but still can't trust it?”This episode will help you better understand the deeper emotional and energetic patterns underneath those experiences.If you're looking for ongoing support in your healing and intuitive development, I invite you to join The Sanctuary.Each month, you'll receive access to a live Divine Guidance Healing—a channeled energy healing experience designed to help you clear emotional, energetic, and subconscious patterns that can interfere with clarity, grounding, self-trust, and connection to your intuition.Learn more about The Sanctuary here:https://sanctuary.wendyderosa.com/_____________________________________________About Wendy De Rosa:Since 1997, Wendy De Rosa has been a healer, author, speaker, and spiritual teacher dedicated to helping sensitives, empaths, and leaders around the world clear energy, awaken intuition, and step into their highest potential by living from their soul.Explore Wendy De Rosa's Offerings: https://wendyderosa.com/ and https://schoolofintuitivestudies.com/Don't forget to like, subscribe, and turn on notifications for Wendy's latest videos.

Send us Fan MailThat feeling that whispers “there's more” can get louder with every year you stay busy, stay responsible, and stay stuck. We start with a gut-check question: are you where God wants you to be, doing what He made you to do, or have you buried something you were created to carry?Our guest, blues rock musician Andy Watley, shares a story that hits home for anyone juggling faith, family, and big decisions. Andy grows up with music and sports, chases football, builds a life, raises five kids, and spends years coaching and providing. But the gift never leaves. A single on-stage moment at a benefit reignites the calling, and what begins as a few shows with his sons turns into a new season of touring, songwriting, and unexpected opportunities, including sharing stages with major artists. Along the way, Andy gets real about the cost, the criticism, and a mistake he had to own at home: not communicating clearly with his wife when the dream started pulling him forward.We also talk practical discipleship, not just inspiration: how to listen for God's direction, how to handle naysayers, and why you do not need perfect conditions to take your first step. Ron closes with clear action steps you can start this week to move toward your purpose, serve others with your gifts, and trust Jesus with the outcome. If you're on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, you'll also hear how to catch Andy live at The Sanctuary in Biloxi.If this conversation stirs something in you, do not ignore it.

HBC Family and Friends,   As we anticipate the parking lot on our new property being finished this summer (hopefully even this month), and we have established an account at The Bank of the Pacific called the “New Sanctuary Building Fund”.  We are also in the process of transferring $50,000 into that account as our starting place moving forward.  And so it begins….   When we have raised $600,000, we will crank up the building machine once again to purchase and install the metal building, which we will then begin to turn into a church.  Yes, that's right.  The initial 600K will only produce the shell of the building.  It will be exciting, but not finished.  So let's pray well together, sacrifice together, and build this fund together so that we can see this next huge step forward materialize.  To God be the Glory, forever and ever - AMEN.   This link is to a 7 minute video that hopefully shares information useful to anyone who would like to contribute to the building fund.  Yes it is for us.  But it is also for you and I to share with others, especially those who would either like to contribute themselves or have connections with others who might like to get involved.  Pray about this, and then do what God lays on your heart.  This is a God sized, faith based, project.  So let's hand it over to God and pray for his blessings and provision.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sc2rE6JA-zc

The last vestiges of royal authority in South Carolina, huddled within two small warships anchored in Charleston Harbor, survived the autumn of 1775 by cultivating a largely forgotten terrestrial connection. Surrounded by increasingly hostile rebel forces, British mariners established a foothold on Sullivan's Island, both to supply their wants and to nurture an improvised sanctuary for political refugees.

On this episode of The Truth with Lisa Boothe, Lisa sits down with Scott Mechkowski, a 22-year ICE veteran and former Deputy Field Office Director for ICE’s New York City Field Office, to discuss the growing battle over immigration enforcement, sanctuary state policies, and deportation operations in America. Markowski shares firsthand insight into how sanctuary city and sanctuary state laws impact ICE operations, why detention facilities like Delaney Hall have become political flashpoints, and what happens after illegal immigrants receive deportation orders. He also explains the challenges ICE agents face on the job, rising hostility toward law enforcement, and why he believes many misconceptions about immigration enforcement persist in the public debate. The conversation covers New York Governor Kathy Hochul's latest sanctuary state legislation, Border Czar Tom Homan’s response, the role of detention centers in the deportation process, criminal illegal immigration, public safety concerns, and the future of immigration enforcement under President Trump.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, we hear from comedian Tim Hawkins, who shares what it took to build a career on clean, relatable comedy—and the surprising lesson he learned when nearly two decades of constant road life led to complete burnout. Later in the episode, we’ll hear from singer-songwriter and pastor Michael Charles Olson, who shares a life influenced by both worship and wounds. Raised in a church where music and faith were woven into everyday life, Michael reflects on how that early sense of sanctuary was later shaken to its core by a church fire that damaged more than just its walls.

We laughed a lot. We enjoyed comedy. I didn’t know what it was. I just know it made me feel good, and it was fun to create it and make people laugh.” - Tim Hawkins “My job is to be funny. People call me a Christian comedian, but I’m a Christian who is a comedian.” - Tim Hawkins “It’s all about connection. Connection is something that we need—and lack. It’s a need that fulfills something in us.” - Tim Hawkins “A thing that I needed to learn was to control my brain, to just shut it down.. And being able to just stop that and be quiet and present.” - Tim Hawkins “Just like that organ was a really, really intricate instrument of praise, my dad was a beautiful soul, deep soul, and through the power of unforgiveness, our home fell apart.” - Michael Charles Olson “When the heart of the father turns inward on itself through pain, the child is kind of left not knowing what to do because we’re hardwired in the way that we were created in our relationship with God for this openness and vulnerability.” - Michael Charles Olson “I really feel like my role as a worship leader is to create environments where the fire of God is experienced in the church.” - Michael Charles Olson “We all go through seasons of brokenness. We all go through seasons where we feel like we’ve let God down. We feel like we let ourselves down. I think I would just say that I’ve had those seasons, and it’s very, very important to hear the voice of the Good Shepherd speaking to you in the midst of your brokenness.” - Michael Charles Olson “When you’re wounded in the sanctuary, when the thing that you hold most dear burns to the ground, God meets you in a restorative place.” - Michael Charles Olson ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!
