We talk to two able-bodied individuals who are attracted to people with disabilities.  Some of the individuals have referred to themselves as  “devotees”.  Not everybody likes this term but there is a community that uses the term to find support for their sexuality as well as a way to find disabled people who might be interested. Three Disabled People Take a Selfie. They need no one to prove their attractiveness. We feature interviews with Sarah Mae from Canada as well as “James” from the U.K, who talk about their attraction to those with disabilities. We also talk to a man with disabilities in his mid-20s' about his experience with dating and his thoughts on the devotee community. This episode of Pushing Limits is produced and the interviews were done by Jacob Lesner -Buxton.  It's voiced and edited by Denny Daughters. Announcement Emergency Preparedness and Resiliency Survey for Alameda County The Center for Independent Living's Emergency Preparedness and Resilience Program Team is collaborating with the World Institute on Disability (WID) to survey people with disabilities in Alameda County. The intention of this survey is to understand people with disabilities' emergency preparedness, their experiences during emergencies and disasters, and what county or community resources they access, or expect to access. We want to learn what's working, and what isn't working. Our goal is to better understand the experiences, needs, and challenges of people with disabilities and how county and community resources can better respond to them. The survey asks specific and intentional questions carefully crafted by our team. We feel these are the best questions to ask community members in order to achieve our goals outlined above. However, we understand that this survey might not leave room for your entire perspective and all of its nuances. We will be holding a series of focus groups and community listening sessions in the near future, which you will have the opportunity to sign up for at the end of this survey. We estimate the survey may take you 5-15 minutes to complete. Thank you so much in advance for your time and input into this important future community resource! Please circulate this survey far and wide among your family, friends, networks, and communities you are a part of. Click here to access the survey!

In this week's episode, Sara & Sarah Mae share pieces of their journey in learning to say "no".

In this week's episode, Sara & Sarah Mae discuss the reflections they each had after reading the story from Matthew 14 where Jesus walks on the water and invites Peter to do the same. Sarah Mae wonders how long it would have taken her to step out of the boat and shares how the fears of failure and disappointment are struggles that she has faced in the past. Sara asks herself the question, "Do I see the world through fear or faith?" She also shares how the fear of disappointing God or not being good enough has influenced her relationship with Him, and how He's inviting her to lay that fear down. They felt inspired to focus on this topic today because both of their pastors preached on this passage last week...coincidence? We think not!

Things look a bit different on the podcast this week. Sara & Sarah Mae have both been having one of those weeks when they are just feeling "grey," so they get really vulnerable and share what that's been like for them. Their hope for this episode is that it would bring comfort to their listeners to know that they are not alone, and through a time of praying Scripture that we would all be reminded that the Lord sees us, knows us and loves us unconditionally.

Rage Against the Machine is a left-wing, progressive that has been described as a variety of genres--from rap rock, alternative metal and nu metal. We discuss the content of lead singer Zach de la Rocha's radical lyrics on immigration, the US government and its prevailing relevance in 2020. In the second half of our program, we kept up the momentum by spinning Denzel Curry's ZUU. The album was released in late May of 2019 and was mentioned in our “Top 10 Albums of 2019” bonus episode.

Welcome to week 10 of The Spotlight where Sarah Mae and Aaron highlight and discuss their favorite records! This week, Sarah Mae opened the show with “Sofia” by Clairo off of her 2019 summer release, ‘Immunity.' Clairo is a 21-year-old artist who grew up in a small town in Massachusetts. Her rise to bedroom-pop fame was skyrocketed by her refreshingly simple music video to “Pretty Girl” in 2017. Sarah Mae discusses how ‘Immunity' is a coming-of-age album through and through. She also draws parallels between ‘Immunity' and ‘Apollo XXI,' a record that was discussed earlier in the season. In the second half of the show, Aaron highlighted ‘Schlagenheim' by UK-based band black midi. ‘Schlagenheim' is the first record for black midi, who was formed in 2015. The album received critical acclaim, gaining the band their first-ever Mercury Prize nomination. Aaron discusses the ways that the band blends elements of jazz, post-punk and math rock together to create a sound unlike most artists today. He is also a huge fan of black midi's drummer, Morgan Simpson. Unfortunately, we will not be having our regularly scheduled LIVE show on November 25. (We're going to see Brockhampton, yeehaw!) We'll be back for our SEASON FINALE on December 2st! But, please give our previous episodes on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Anchor.fm a listen!

Welcome to week 9 of The Spotlight where Sarah Mae and Aaron highlight and discuss their favorite records! This week Aaron featured Playboi Carti's 2018 record 'Die Lit.' This is Carti's 2nd release and first studio album, one of the best trap albums of the year featuring an array of prolific artists like Skepta, Lil Uzi Vert, Nicki Minaj and more. Aaron praises Carti for his ability to make an album so minimal yet so vivid with sonic imagery. This was one of Aaron's favorite albums of 2018 and an instant classic that transcends space and time. Sarah Mae this week featured Thundercat's 2017 record 'Drunk.' Thundercat a bass player and singer is an artist that isn't afraid to combine humor and rigorous music playing into his music. Before 'Drunk,' Thundercat worked on Kendrick Lamar's 2015 record 'To Pimp a Butterfly' an album that will forever hold a special place in history, Sarah Mae even talks about their relationship together and the intentionality between them. 'Drunk' an album that has elements of funk, avant-garde jazz, and R&B brings out Thundercats strengths and pure talent as an artist. So make sure to give these albums a listen as you won't regret it! We also had the privilege to work with one of our best friends, Kylie Stamm, on her NEW podcast 'Better Out Loud.' Make sure to listen to this weeks episode to hear a snippet of the episode we are featured on. Check her out on Spotify by searching 'Better Out Loud' and on instagram @betterbytheletter Join us for week 10 on November 18th for the next LIVE show! Mondays at 6pm (EST) on wgmuradio.com

Welcome to week 8 of The Spotlight where Sarah Mae and Aaron highlight and discuss their favorite records! Sarah Mae started out the week with Father John Misty's 2012 release, ‘Fear Fun.' This record was Josh Tillman's first album under the musical pseudonym, Father John Misty. Prior to his record he had released 7 previous records and before that he was also a drummer for the band, Fleet Foxes. Sarah Mae praises Tillman for his ability to create very enjoyable and listenable music while also making listeners uncomfortable (in a good way) with the messaging of his lyrics. Aaron brings up that even up to his most recent record (‘God's Favorite Customer' from 2018), Tillman has maintained this talent. This week's second record was Sons of Kemet's 2018 record, ‘Your Queen Is a Lizard.' Sons of Kemet is a critically acclaimed experimental jazz group based in the UK. Aaron discusses how the record's title refers to the queen of England. Meanwhile, each track begins with “My Queen is…” followed by the name of an influential, Black female leader (i.e. “My Queen is Angela Davis” and “My Queen is Harriet Tubman”). Aaron and Sarah Mae discuss the group's intention behind these titles and the importance of uplifting the work of Black female leaders who have been too often sidelined by history. Both of these records give listeners much to think about! We hope you'll give them a listen. Join us for week 9 on November 11th for the next LIVE show! Mondays at 6pm (EST) on wgmuradio.com

Welcome to week 7 of The Spotlight where Sarah Mae and Aaron highlight and discuss their favorite records! The first album that we featured this week was Earl Sweatshirt's long awaited 2018 record ‘Some Rap Songs' (SRS). A record that dives into Earls mental health (“Shattered Dreams”) grieving with the death of his father (“Playing Possum”), substance abuse ("Azucar") and his relationships with people he considered his friends (“Red Water”). Earl uses a series of vignettes to execute these themes and does it in a way that catches your attention. ‘SRS' is such a mature record sonically, it has a very dark undertone and includes a lo-fi and sample heavy production, which draws many comparisons to MF Doom's ‘Madvilliany'. Overall SRS is dark record that shows Earl in his most darkest moments but also growing/learning from those moments. The second album that we featured this week was UK singer/dancer/producer FKA twigs' 2014 record “LP1." This is her debut studio album which includes production from herself and UK artists like Arca, Sampha, and Dev Hynes (Blood Orange). A record that includes very cutting edge/dense production--something that wasn't being done at the time. Lyrically she focuses on the dualism between love and lust, reality and fantasy. We see that in tracks like “Give Up” where she sings about wanting to change for the benefit of a partner, which comes off as toxic and unhealthy. We also talk about her work as a dancer and how that has influenced her music, tracks like "Video Girl" touch on her biography as a backup dancer and how she doesn't want to be known merely as the girl from music videos where she's danced in. Overall, LP1 is a record that has a very euphoric feeling to it which sucks you into FKA twigs' reality. Make sure to give these records a listen! Join us for week 8 on November 4th for the next LIVE show! Mondays at 6pm (EST) on wgmuradio.com

Welcome to week 6 of The Spotlight where Sarah Mae and Aaron highlight and discuss their favorite records! The first album we brought to the show this week was model-turned-pop-star Rina Sawayama's 2017 EP, 'RINA.' We discuss the EP's infectious pop style which harkens back to the Britney Spears era of pop music. Tracks such as “Ordinary Superstar” and “Alterlife” (which we mistakenly/affectionately call “Afterlife”) carries the nostalgia of the aughts, but are still unique to Sawayama's voice and style. We also talk through the lyrics of the EP which as a whole, seek to grapple our relationships with technology. Our second album of the week was Toro y Moi's 2019 album, 'Outer Peace.' We discuss the ways in which Toro y Moi is unafraid to challenge himself through his music. Aaron points out that Outer Peace is unlike any of his previous projects which is bold and unusual for many artists. The album within itself takes on many different styles and we showcase that by contrasting tracks like “Ordinary Pleasure” and “Monte Carlo (feat. WET)” with one another. We hope you'll give these projects the listen they deserve! Join us for week 7 on October 28th for the next LIVE show! Mondays at 6pm (EST) on wgmuradio.com

Sarah Mae experienced many traumas as a young girl, from living with an alcoholic mother to being pressured by her family into an abortion at 16. But in her book "[amazon text=The Complicated Heart: Loving Even When It Hurts &asin=1462796982]," she shares how God redeemed her broken heart and brought forgiveness and healing.

In today's podcast, I interview Ann Gale, my post-abortion counselor. Some of the Questions I ask Ann: What is a post-abortion counselor? What have you learned in why it is that women struggle after they have an abortion? What do you say to the women who says, “How could God forgive me? I don't even forgive me!” What can women expect when they walk into a clinic to get post-abortion counseling? What can you tell women when someone, a daughter particularly, comes to them and says, “I'm pregnant” and it's an unexpected situation? Have you ever counseled women who have been pregnant due to rape and chose not to abort? How can a friend respond when their friend tells them they had an abortion? What do you want to say to the woman who is listening is on the verge of having an abortion? What do you want to say to the woman who has had an abortion and has never told anybody?

Tucker Key Scripture: “…God's kindness is intended to lead you to repentance...” Romans 2:4 Quotes: “Writing is such an incredible powerful way for people to transform their own stories in their lives, I think it is valuable for anyone to try.” [3:43] “The power of shame is that it doesn't have words attached to it. It's one of the most powerful things we feel. It dictates our behavior more then just about anything else.” [8:12] “Our bodies hold truths our minds can't yet understand” [11:30] “Relationships are mirrors, they are reflecting us back to ourselves.” [16:10] “Being honest with ourselves takes a ton of resilience to shame. Because, we have to look at our selves really honestly. It takes a lot of emotional heavy lifting. We've got to actually be willing to do our own work. To get over our selfs and to let our ego be crushed again and again. To face embarrassment and to learn what it feels like to be really lonely and not try to fill the space with just anything that's there.” [18:17] “Little girls will transfer all their power and identity to someone else and will hand the keys over to someone else really quickly and hop in the passengers seat. A woman has to sit in the drivers seat of her own life and you have to decide which direction you are going. You have to own your mistakes.” [20:10] “The truth hurts, yes, but it is our only way to freedom, because its the only think that puts us back in touch with the reality of what is actually happening.” [24:50] “No matter where you are, or what you are doing, or what kind of relationship you are in, you need to know that you have a choice. The minute you know you have choices, is the minute that find all freedom and power you have been looking for and waiting for.” [28:17] “Anytime you are in a situation with someone who makes you feel like they are the answer to all your problems, they have the access, the money, the power, the whatever, to get you where you are trying to go. You know that you are being manipulated. You just know, it's not true.” [33:13] “Isolation and privacy are the absolutely enemy of growth” [38:35] “If you are being physically abused, you need to make an exit plan ASAP.” [45:12] “The most loving thing we can do for anyone is to give them their process. It's about making space for someone to be in process” [52:33] “The pain that we are trying so hard to avoid is the medicine. It's here to teach us and to heal us, if we can let it move through us.” [54:24] “When you fall apart, you finally don't have to hold it together anymore." [58:27] “We have two choices, we can hold on and be miserable or surrender to the fire that purifies.” [58:37] “The call of the human heart is to come back home to the father.” [1:02:43] The Blessing: [1:04:48] May you grow every day in the knowledge of Gods love for you. May that knowledge bring you great healing. And through that healing, may you become all you were intended to be.
