If you're curious about quirky legal history, how society dealt with its lawbreakers, or you just love some good old banter, you're in the right place. Let's get started!Welcome back to Lawyer Talk! It's Steve Palmer here, and on this episode, I take you on a little side trip back to medieval times to uncover the roots of branding criminals—yes, physically marking people as a record of their crimes.Alongside Troy Henricksen, our resident law student, I share how my own background studying medieval history shines some light on why someone might have a “T” for thief or an “M” for manslaughter branded right on their hand.We get into how old legal systems kept track of offenders before computers, courthouses, and ledgers, and Troy jumps in with questions and insights that push the conversation deeper.We also talk about the odd concept of “benefit of clergy,” how people tried to game the system to avoid harsh punishments, and I even make a nod to The Scarlet Letter's infamous “A”—proving that public judgment through branding isn't just ancient history.Here are 3 key takeaways:Branding as Legal Recordkeeping: In medieval England, criminals were literally branded on their palms or thumbs (e.g., "T" for thief, "M" for manslaughter) to create a physical record of their offenses, since written records were unreliable or nonexistent.Benefit of Clergy (and Its Abuse): Members of the clergy could claim immunity from the death penalty—but this loophole was widely exploited, prompting authorities to use branding as a way to track repeat offenders.Credibility and Stigma: Branded marks not only helped with recordkeeping in courts but also influenced witness credibility. If someone raised their hand in court, revealing a brand, it could immediately impact how they were perceived by the jury and the judge.Got a question you want answered on the podcast?

This week on NAFC, the boys somehow juggle politics, sports, and life frustrations before diving into something way darker.They kick things off talking about ICE, facial recognition tech showing up at MSG, and somehow land on the Charlotte Hornets—because nothing says smooth transition like that. There's also a unanimous agreement that children's band recitals are universally painful experiences.Izzy shares his thoughts on The Scarlet Letter and gives more updates on his new house, where things continue to go wrong in increasingly creative ways. Gibbs brings in a review of Mosaic Perspective, while Mox and Gibbs get into spoiler territory on Project Hail Mary.Finally, the crew dives into Him (2025)—a tense, uncomfortable watch that fits right into their wheelhouse of “why did we pick this?”Support us on Patreon!

This powerful message invites us into the season of Eastertide by exploring Isaiah 54, a passage that reveals what flows into our lives because of Christ's resurrection. The central challenge we face is this: while God's grace may be our most precious belief, it often isn't our deepest or most natural one. We carry shame attendants in our minds, voices that constantly remind us of past failures and whisper condemnation. Yet Isaiah 54 declares something radically different: our maker is our husband, bringing us back with deep compassion and everlasting kindness. Through the literary lens of Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter, we see how shame can either define us or be transformed into our source of ministry to others. The message challenges us to embrace our new identity in Christ, trust our eternal security in God's unbreakable covenant, and express our God-given adequacy by extending to others the same compassion we've received. This isn't about passive acceptance but actively fighting to make grace our default setting, countering every voice of shame with the gospel truth that God desires us, wants union with us, and will never reject us again.

Building on de‑escalation work from Stage 1, they explore how to move past “talking about the injury” into fully opening the scene of the wound so that real limbic revision can occur. Ryan shares how his own disorientation around when and how to work with injuries led him to train intensively with George and Karen, and how doing solid attachment‑injury work actually taught him how to do all of Stage 2. James opens up about his personal learning edge—how hard it can be, as a caregiver, to invite vivid pain into the room—and what helps him stay present instead of pulling back. Across the episode, they unpack: Why “you cannot change what you cannot open” How to set a platform for attachment‑injury work that stabilizes both partners The art of scene work: evoking 5–7 concrete sensory cues to move from summary into live experience How to hold the injured partner's pain open long enough for the offender to truly feel the impact Why clients are “not fragile, they're too stable”—and what that means for our stance as experiential therapists They also connect this process to AIRM, the EFT World Summit, and the broader map of Stage 2—reminding us that deep injury work is not a side path, but a powerful way into the heart of restructuring the bond. Key Teaching Points from This Episode 1. Why Attachment Injury Work Belongs in Stage 2 Most clinical conversations get stuck in “What do we do with injuries in Stage 1?” Stage 1 is about stabilization and de‑escalation, not “doing surgery” on the injury. Once there is enough stability and safety, Stage 2 is where we go to the heart of the injury to create lasting change. For Ryan, learning to do good Stage 2 attachment injury work was how he learned to truly do Stage 2 at all (vs. just using its concepts). 2. “You Cannot Change What You Cannot Open” Effective injury repair requires fully opening the synaptic memory system of the event. Therapists must help clients move from summary (“this thing that happened back then…”) to live, embodied experience in the room. If the pain stays in the background, it acts like a “boogeyman”—emerging unpredictably and hijacking the bond. The task is not to “make them hurt,” but to give the pain that already lives in them a chance to be explicitly on stage, in a safe, co‑regulated frame. 3. Scene Work: How to Open and Stay in the Injury Ryan describes his scene‑based approach: Set a clear platform (framing why you're going here, for both partners). Open a specific scene of the injury and stay there (often 20+ minutes, “circles and circles”). Focus primarily on one partner's deep experience at a time. Use 5–7 concrete physical/sensory cues to shift out of summary and into experience: What do you see? What do you smell? Temperature on your skin? Textures around you? What's happening in your body? In your eyes? “You can't revise what you can't open”: the deeper and clearer the scene is evoked, the more powerful the potential for revision. 4. The Therapist's Own Edges and Nervous System James shares that, from his caregiving/medical background, watching vivid pain come alive in session can be hard on his own nervous system. The temptation is to protect clients from feeling too much, but: We are not creating pain. We are bringing existing pain into shared awareness so it can be held and transformed. Therapists must train themselves like firefighters: Trust your training Trust your equipment (the EFT map, Tango, AIRM) Trust the people you've trained with A healthy fear of what could go wrong is important, but must be balanced by a clear vision of what is lost if we never go there. 5. “Right Dose at the Right Time” Drawing on Bruce Perry's work: therapy requires the right dosage at the right time. Do not do this kind of deep, evocative surgery in Stage 1—that would be an overdose on an unstable system. In Stage 1: We treat the injury (acknowledge, validate, build some safety), But we do not do full surgical repair yet. In Stage 2: The partner is more available to co‑regulate and respond. The bond is more ready to sustain deep limbic work and revision. 6. Clients Are Not Fragile—They're Too Stable Ryan's provocative teaching line: “Your clients are not fragile. They're too stable.” They are stable in their woundedness and rigid organization: Rigid protective strategies Rigid negative self/other models As experiential therapists, if we treat clients as too fragile to go into these places, we: Collude with the stability of the injury Miss the opportunity for deep restructuring We must hold both: Tenderness and strong alliance (like a good mom with a third grader) Relentlessness in going after the dark places 7. Two Core Goals of Attachment Injury Repair (AIRM) Ryan summarizes the two main goals of attachment injury repair: The injured partner sees their pain reflected back in the eyes of the injurer. Not just verbal apologies The limbic system needs to register: “You are with me in this pain now, not talking me out of it.” Often assessed by asking (carefully): “Do you feel like your partner really gets the depth of this?” A felt sense of confidence that, given the same circumstances, this would not happen again. This is not cognitive reassurance alone. It's a body‑based sense that something fundamental has shifted in the bond and in the injurer. When both are present (often over multiple sessions), the injury can be considered functionally repaired, and the couple can return to the previous stage of EFT work. 8. Platform Building: How Ryan Sets Up the Work Ryan starts with a platform conversation before opening the scene: To the offender: “I'm not doing this to make you feel bad. You deserve not to have this event be the story of you.” Frames the work as a way to retire the “Scarlet Letter” and integrate the event into a larger, more hopeful story. Uses metaphors like sleeping on an unpinned grenade—life is too precarious if the injury is never addressed. To the injured partner: Names that a part of them is still stuck in that place (delivery room, the moment they discovered the affair, etc.). With their permission, he proposes spending several sessions there to go find and bring back that part of them. This platform: Clarifies what they're doing and why. Re‑establishes consent and collaboration. Begins stabilizing the offender's shame and the injured partner's fear before going deeper. 9. The Five “People” in the Room Ryan offers a helpful image: during injury work, there are effectively five people involved: The therapist The adult injured partner The adult injuring partner The younger/earlier version of the injured partner in the scene The younger/earlier version of the injurer in the scene The work is about going after all of them in a redemptive way—bringing those divided versions back into connection and coherence. 10. From Scene Work to Tango Move 5 and Back to the Map Once the scene is open, Ryan sees the work as “old‑school Step 5”: Deep affect assembly in the injured partner Clear enactments to the offender Sculpting the offender into A.R.E. responsiveness (Accessible, Responsive, Engaged) Helping the injured partner take in that responsiveness He often uses multiple, small enactments rather than rushing to one big one: Micro‑processing present‑moment shifts “What do you see in their eyes right now?” “What happens in your body as they reach for you?” Crucially, after deep injury work: Don't get so disoriented that you abandon the EFT map. Ideally, you return to where you were (e.g., late withdrawer re‑engagement) and complete the rest of Stage 2: Full withdrawer re‑engagement Pursuer softening 11. Using Yourself and Accepting Disorientation Ryan normalizes that, in late Stage 1, Stage 2, and especially Stage 2 injury sessions: He often leaves feeling completely disoriented (in a good way). It takes a minute to re‑orient, use the bathroom, splash water on his face. This disorientation is a sign that: He has fully entered the memory with them. He is using himself deeply as an experiential therapist. He distinguishes this from burnout: Burnout was more present when he tried to work these places without scene‑based experiential depth. Deep scene work, while intense, is actually more effective and less demoralizing than spinning in summary and argument. 12. Honoring Clients and the Mission of EFT Therapists Both highlight: Clients as major teachers—it's worth explicitly thanking them at times. Sue's stance: even at the end of her career, she was “excited to go up the hill and see what my clients are going to teach me today.” They frame trainers (and this podcast) as trying to be like: Military commanders who can't go on every mission, but must equip the troops well: Best training Best equipment Clear mission The closing tone: Deep appreciation for therapists who are willing to go to dark, painful places with their clients. Reassurance that with the map, the tango, and the AIRM frame, you are not walking into those places alone.

Why doesn't shaming actually work?In this episode, Dr. John Ortberg explores two powerful reasons why condemnation and public shaming often backfire and what they do to both the person being judged and the one doing the judging.Drawing from The Scarlet Letter, John shows:- why we never truly know someone else's story- how shame distorts both identity and relationships- why condemnation corrodes the soul of the one who carries it- how modern culture reinforces division and estrangement- what Jesus offers insteadThen he introduces a different calling:The ministry of reconciliation.You'll learn:- why reconciliation is central to the life of Jesus- how to begin moving away from resentment- what to do when relationships feel broken- why prayer is often the first step- how to live without keeping scoreBecause the goal isn't just to avoid condemnation.It's to become someone who brings people back together.SAVE THE DATE: FORMATIONPODCAST.com launches April 22!

In this bold new musical adaptation of The Scarlet Letter, penned through a feminist lens by Kenady Sean & Christine Hand Jones, the narrative dives deep into themes of societal shame and female empowerment. Set in a Puritanical society, Hester Prynne transforms her scarlet letter from a mark of condemnation into a symbol of defiance and resilience. Through evocative folk music played by an all-female band, the musical explores Hester's journey of reclaiming her identity and raising her daughter amidst judgment and oppression. Supported by a diverse and dynamic cast of characters struggling with their own battles against societal expectations, the adaptation weaves a tapestry of liberation and solidarity. As Hester navigates love, loss, and the pursuit of justice, the musical celebrates the strength found in embracing one's truth, challenging norms, and rewriting the narrative of shame into a powerful anthem of empowerment where “All Are Welcome.”

In Part 2 of our discussion on Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter, editor Justine Murison returns to discuss the cover design of the Norton Library edition, her first encounter with The Scarlet Letter in high school (and the process of coming to understand the text as an adult), and the challenging irony of Hawthorne's narrative voice. Justine S. Murison is Associate Professor of English at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Her research and teaching examine nineteenth-century American literature with special attention to its relation to the intertwined histories of health and religion. She is the author of The Politics of Anxiety in Nineteenth-Century American Literature (2011) and Faith in Exposure: Privacy and Secularism in the Nineteenth-Century United States (2023).To learn more or purchase a copy of the Norton Library edition of The Scarlet Letter, go to https://wwnorton.com/books/9780393871616.Learn more about the Norton Library series at https://wwnorton.com/norton-library.Have questions or suggestions for the podcast?

This episode of Horror Joy turns to academic horror through Mariama Diallo's 2022 film Master, set at the fictional elite Ancaster University. Our discussion treats the film's central claim that what haunts is not the past but the present and future: racism, microaggressions, elitism, and the suffocating atmosphere of tradition. We welcome returning guest T (S. Trimble Associate Professor of Women and Gender Studies at the University of Toronto) and first-time guest Joe Vallese (NYU faculty fellow, expository writing), editor of It Came From the Closet: Queer Reflections on Horror.The conversation then unpacks Master's slow-burn dread: Gail Bishop (Regina Hall), the newly appointed first Black master; Jasmine, a first-year Black student; and Liv, a professor up for tenure, all navigating both explicit racism and subtler academic violence. We discuss the Scarlet Letter as a canonical text used to police interpretation and power in the classroom, including Jasmine's failing grade and the gaslighting embedded in academic evaluation.

About This EpisodeWhat if Boston's colonial past held witch trial stories just as gripping as Salem's but almost entirely overlooked? This week, Sarah and Josh sit down with D. Brenton Simons, President Emeritus and former CEO of American Ancestors (New England Historic Genealogical Society), to uncover the witches, criminals, and scandal-makers that Boston's official history left out.D. Brenton Simons spent 18 years leading American Ancestors, one of the world's foremost genealogical organizations with over 500,000 members in 139 countries. He is the author of Witches, Rakes, and Rogues, a collection of true Boston stories spanning 1630 to 1741, and was honored by King Charles III for his contributions to Anglo-American history.Boston had a witchcraft period spanning over a century, and the stories from it look nothing like what popular culture has taught us. Brenton walks us through cases that defy every stereotype, including a wealthy, well-connected woman whose "disagreeable" personality made her a target after her husband's death, an Irish Catholic servant whose foreign language and customs terrified a Puritan community, and women whose only real crime was practicing folk medicine and refusing to be pushed around.The research behind this book took five years and required digging through court records, personal diaries, and archives. The result is a portrait of real people navigating a world where the devil felt as immediate and dangerous as a neighbor's grudge.The woman who appears as a background character in The Scarlet Letter and the real, devastating story behind her nameHow the Goodwin children's afflictions during the Goody Glover case reveal something very human about fear and attentionThe connection between Mercy Short's post-traumatic experiences and the Salem trialsWhy the discovery of a black cat may have saved Boston from a second wave of witch huntingWhat happened to accusations that never became trials, and why those stories matter just as muchFor descendants of Boston and Connecticut witch trial victims, this episode is essential listening. Brenton discusses his research connecting Mary Hale, Winifred Benham Sr., and the Benham family line across generations and colonies.

The word “terrorist” wasn't coined on September 11, 2001, but the defining event of the early 21st century ushered it in as the United States' go-to term for demonizing outsiders and dissenters alike. The so-called “war on terror” transformed the way the U.S. wields power at home and abroad, enabling mass surveillance and a crackdown on the right to free speech. It became reflexive for the U.S. to disparage immigrants and protesters as supporters of terrorism.President Donald Trump has embraced this model and manipulated it for his own ends, as author Spencer Ackerman points out. The Trump administration often peddles spurious accusations of terrorism against the targets of its immigration raids.“There's nothing about any of their action that's remotely anything at all like terrorism,” Ackerman says. “But that is the fire in which ICE, CBP, and the Department of Homeland Security was forged. You are going to find this in its DNA.”This week on the Intercept Briefing, host Jordan Uhl speaks with Ackerman, a leading expert on the concept of terrorism and its weaponization by the state. Ackerman's 2021 book, “Reign of Terror, How the 9/11 Era Destabilized America and Produced Trump,” traces the legal and cultural evolution of the last 25 years, and how the boomerang has come back home.“Before 9/11, not only was there no ICE, there wasn't really much in the way of a robust internal mechanism for finding and deporting people who were in the country illegally. When it did exist, it was for people who were serious criminals, traffickers, and so on,” says Ackerman. Now, he says, the contemporary terrorism paradigm has transformed immigration enforcement into something “operating like a death squad.”“What we are seeing on the streets of Minneapolis is what ICE has done to the undocumented for a very long time,” he says. “And now we're seeing this happen to white people on the streets of Minneapolis for little more than filming ICE.” With the recent killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, “I worry that a tremendous amount of our political system is geared toward either, on the Republican side, rationalizing it, justifying it, or on the Democratic side, pretending as if this is some kind of abuse that can be exceptionalized, rather than something that has to do with this 25-year history of coalescing immigration enforcement in the context of counterterrorism.”As Democrats in Congress struggle to leverage DHS funding for changes to ICE policy — like a ban on face masks for ICE agents, an idea on which they've already softened — Ackerman says the parallels with the early 2000s are clear.“We can't move in reformist directions when the thing talked about being reformed laughs at killing Americans,” advises Ackerman. “Reformist politics under two Democratic administrations got us to where we are now. These are accommodationist politics, and the thing being accommodated wants to kill you.”Listen to the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.

Blind Abilities – The Musical: O&M and the Scarlet Letter B explores the deeply personal moment when a white cane shifts from symbol to tool, from stigma to freedom. Through music, storytelling, and candid conversation, the episode traces the emotional arc of orientation and mobility—hesitation, acceptance, learning, and momentum. The songs frame lived experiences many blind and visually impaired people know well: the fear of being seen, the relief of being understood, and the confidence that comes from trusting your skills. "The cane chose me" becomes more than a lyric—it's a turning point where independence replaces resistance. The discussion that follows grounds the music in real-world experiences, from early reluctance and public missteps to training breakthroughs and hard-earned pride. Together, the musical and conversation celebrate movement, adaptability, and self-direction, reminding listeners that independence isn't about perfection—it's about learning to read the world differently and continuing forward, one step at a time.   Full Transcript Thanks for listening!

John Ross, during his schoolboy days in New Zealand, was interested in far-flung places such as South America, Papua New Guinea, Ancient Greece and Rome, as well as books on World War One and Two. He read a lot of youth fiction starting at 10 years old, but as a teenager, had a voracious appetite for nonfiction. In his 20s he discovered a few wonderful fiction writers, but has still kept mostly to nonfiction through the decades.His first books were Willard Price's Adventure series and Gerald Durrell books on real-life animal collecting. He also read detective and war stories (Biggles) and lots of travel accounts and travel guides.Robert Louis Stevenson was a favorite—Treasure Island, Kidnapped—and later discovered that Stevenson was a very good essayist too. John also enjoyed Rudyard Kipling's Kim.The ancient Greeks left a great impression on him: Herodotus (The Histories) and Thucydides (The Peloponnesian War)In his early 20s he started reading proper literature:Anna Karenina, Dr Zhivago, George Orwell, and Joseph Conrad. He loved Peter Hopkirk's The Great Game series featuring colorful adventurers and spies in exotic locations. In his early 30s he discovered Raymond Chandler and in his 40s H.P. Lovecraft.For books on Asia and East Asia, he started reading about Burma in the late 1980s, and early 1990s, and Mongolia in the mid-1990s, and increasingly China and Taiwan, and even some works on Japan.Some well known book titles that made an early impression were Lost Horizon by James Hilton, Burmese Days by George Orwell, The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck, and Jonathan Spence's China books. Also books on Asia by Maurice Collis.Amy's ReadingAs a child, Amy remembers reading Black Beauty (Anna Sewell, 1877), Walter Farley's series The Black Stallion (1941), and a book called Ponies Plot (Janet Hickman, 1971). She loved all the required reading for school (some books now banned): English literature such as Graham Greene's Brighton Rock, Shakespeare's plays, and lots of Roald Dahl, including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and James and the Giant Peach; and American authors John Steinbeck (1930s–1950s), J. D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye (1951), Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter (1850), Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh (1964) and A Separate Peace (1959) by John Knowles. She recalls that in first grade, her teacher read to the class Little Pear (1931), by Eleanor Francis Lattimore, about a Chinese boy.From her parents' book collection she read Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott (1868), and  Wuthering Heights (1847) Emily Bronte as well as stories by Charlotte Bronte and other classics.In college she moved into more popular literature, again much of it required reading for her classes: works by Thomas Pynchon, Jerzy Kosiński, Blind Date (1977) and The Painted Bird (1965) the latter of which—notably—had a scene on bestiality and would probably be banned as college reading these days!.In high school, her father paid her to read books, and she vividly remembers excerpts from Henry Hazlitt's The Foundations of Morality (1964), which still influences her choices in life today. She credits her father's books for her interest in philosophy and a basic understanding of free-market economics.Once she knew she was headed to Japan, she read Edwin Reischauer's  The Japanese Today (1988), and Japan as Number One, by Ezra Vogel (1979) which were her first books to read about Asia (other than Shogun). For most of her childhood she preferred non-fiction and didn't start reading fiction seriously till she arrived in Japan and read Haruki Murakami. Now she reads everything!At the end of the podcast Amy & John encourage listeners to write in to ask for suggestions on what books on Asia to give friends or family.

This week on NAFC, the gang bounces across movies, games, and geopolitical absurdity like only they can. Mox kicks things off with his thoughts on Zootopia 2, while Izzy and Gibbs have fallen deep into Gloomhaven—cardboard suffering and tactical joy in equal measure.Izzy also compares Immortals Fenyx Rising to Breath of the Wild, confirming once again that Nintendo's shadow looms over us all. Gibbs brings a shoutout to Unavowed, the indie gem punching far above its weight.Then things take a turn into global insanity: Saudi Arabia's attempt to buy EA (because sure, why not), Iraqi “robots” that turned out to be… actual humans in suits, and an AI minister caught taking bribes—proving once more that dystopia isn't coming, it's already checking email.Finally, they dive into The Scarlet Letter (1995), a movie that took classic literature, tossed it in a wood chipper, and said “close enough.”Support us on Patreon!

Some of us never stop working; some of us struggle to start. In a world that glorifies both hustle and comfort, how do we find the right balance? Today we dive into God's design for work and rest—why doing too much can drain us, why doing too little can burden others, and how the cross of Jesus gives us both the motivation to work and the freedom to rest. 

Words are everywhere—spoken, texted, posted, whispered. And yet for all the words we use, some have the power to build while others quietly destroy. Slander isn't just a legal term or a political tactic; it's what happens when our words assume, exaggerate, or tear down. Why do we do it? How does it affect our relationships? And what does God want to replace it with? Pastor Mike helps us see why Jesus takes our words so seriously and how speaking the right words can change everything—starting with the words he speaks over us.

Everyone worships something. Whether it's success, relationships, comfort, control, or even our own opinions, there's always something fighting for first place in our hearts. That's what the Bible calls idolatry—not just statues and shrines but anything we fear, love, or trust in more than God. Today's message looks at how idols promise fulfillment but leave us empty and how only Jesus can truly satisfy our hearts.

Some sins are obvious, marked by shame and confession. But what about the ones we don't think twice about—habits so ingrained in our lives that they no longer feel like sins at all? That's the premise of this new sermon series. The first message hones in on gluttony, where it's not about the number on a scale but the posture of our hearts toward food. Could it be that our overindulgence, excessive cravings, and disregard for self-control are keeping us from the purpose God has for us? Pastor Mike helps us explore what Scripture says about gluttony, why it matters, and how Jesus meets us at the table—not with condemnation but with grace that leads to change.

They may not make headlines, but gluttony, idolatry, slander, and laziness quietly shape our lives more than we'd like to admit. Pastor Mike and Amber preview the new sermon series, "Not So Scarlet Letters," and explore why these “less scandalous” sins can be just as damaging to our souls—especially when they become habits we justify, ignore, or even celebrate. Through humor, vulnerability, and biblical truth, we'll be challenged to examine our hearts, confront what's quietly taking God's place, and take small but powerful steps toward freedom.Pastor Mike mentions how you can get a Leathersoft NIV Value Thinline Bible this month as thanks for your gift in support of Time of Grace. This slim, easy-to-read Bible is a great way to engage with God's Word every single day. We'll also send you a Time of Grace bookmark with some Bible study tips from Pastor Mike.
