Don't know about you, but America's 250th anniversary has me a bit obsessed with finding all the best Christian fiction focused on the War for Independence. Megan Soja's Scars of the Revolution will definitely make my reading list. Listen in to hear why. note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you.  It's easy to forget just how torn this country was before it was even it's own country. Neighbors held opposing opinions (kind of like politics today, no?).  But unlike today, falling for the wrong person could be seen as either treason or disloyalty.  Scars of the Revolution by Megan Soja Some scars are born from duty, others from rebellion—theirs were carved by both. Libby Caldwell has been in love with Isaac Harrison for years, ever since her late father befriended him. While her head knows there is no hope of sharing her life with a British soldier, her heart is much more difficult to convince, especially now that he is quartering in her home. With Boston under siege and battle looming, each day together forces her to recognize how deep her feelings truly are…and how forbidden. Bound by duty to both his family and country, Isaac is determined to serve honorably in the King's army, despite never wishing to be a soldier. But quartering with the widow and daughter of his old friend places another obligation on his shoulders—that of their well-being. The more time he spends with Miss Caldwell, the more that duty begins to feel like something personal, something he cannot allow. As the siege of Boston tightens, Libby finds herself drawn into a dangerous game of espionage that could save the Patriot cause—and destroy any chance of a future with the man she's growing to love. Will betrayal and war keep their two worlds forever apart? Or will they look to the One whose love knows no bounds to bring them healing and a future?

Matt and Laci go through the The Shining, probably the best English-language horror movie ever made. Is it the story of a man's battle with alcoholism, a complicated metaphor for the American ruling class's many sins, or is it just a simple haunted house story? What if I told you… yes? The Shining started life as Stephen King's third novel. It was a very personal novel for King, inspired by his own life and his struggles with alcoholism and fatherhood. It's understandable that he wouldn't like Kubrick not centering those issues in his film, but Kubrick saw something completely different in The Shining. The podcast tracks the history of their very public disagreement and King's criticisms of the film. The Shining's production was shrouded in secrecy and mystery. The cast and crew filmed in England for more than a year, and while Shelley Duvall was open in the press about the difficulty of the assignment, she never thought Kubrick treated her unfairly or unprofessionally, and she always pushed back whenever anyone said Kubrick mistreated her during production of the movie.   Time stamps: 00:02:43 — History segment: Stephen King's early career; early disagreements between Stanley Kubrick and King; Kubrick's career overview; Kubrick and co-writer Diane Johnson adapt the novel; casting Jack Nicholson, Danny Lloyd, and Scatman Crothers; Shelley Duvall's career overview 00:58:30 — Movie discussion 02:11:30 — Final thoughts & star ratings   Sources: The Stephen King Companion: Four Decades of Fear from the Master of Horror by George Beahm (2024) - https://amzn.to/4qvoNMO  A Night at the Movies: The Horrors of Stephen King - TCM documentary (2011) - https://bit.ly/4oXM9tf "Kubrick Films 'The Shining' In Secrecy in English Studio" by Aljean Harmetz | The New York Times (1978) - https://nyti.ms/47TYJUl Kubrick: The Definitive Edition by Michel Ciment | https://amzn.to/4nAScmh  "How Stanley Kubrick protected child actor Danny Lloyd while creating 'The Shining'" by Swapnil Dhruv Bose | Far Out (2020) - https://bit.ly/4opNtEY  "'No arc at all': The reason why Stephen King hated Stanley Kubrick film 'The Shining'" by Swapnil Dhruv Bose | Far Out (2024) - https://bit.ly/47bb3hol  "Searching for Shelley Duvall: The Reclusive Icon on Fleeing Hollywood and the Scars of Making 'The Shining'" by Seth Abramovitch | The Hollywood Reporter (2021) - https://bit.ly/3Lkni3Y  Interview with Shelley Duvall by Roger Ebert | RogerEbert.com (2012) - https://bit.ly/44eI0sT "No, Shelley Duvall was not traumatized by Stanley Kubrick on The Shining – she embraced it" by Tom Murray (2024) - https://bit.ly/3LbNvSq    Artwork by Laci Roth.    Music by Rural Route Nine.

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has dominated headlines this week with a raw Instagram series calling for a safer more honest music industry after his child stardom scars. According to The National Desk Bieber the 31 year old pop icon reflected on feeling used and rushed as a teen star writing I grew up in a system that rewarded my gift but didnt always protect my soul. He credited Jesus with healing his anger and identity declaring Im not a product Im a son per Relevant Magazine dated December 29. This poignant pre Christmas reflection carries huge biographical weight signaling Biebers pivot to faith driven advocacy over revenge aiming to transform not burn down the industry.No fresh public appearances or business deals popped in the past few days but his 2025 triumphs linger large. E News reported he and wife Hailey enjoyed a rare holiday date night December 18 in West Hollywood admiring a festive tree installation both casual as new parents to 15 month old son Jack Blues born August 2024. Musically Swag and Swag II surprise albums dropped earlier this year dominating charts with over 40 R&B laced tracks like Yukon and Devotion as noted by The Honey POP via Spreaker.

On this episode, we step back to assess where the watch industry actually landed in 2025, revisiting our prior predictions with a focus on the bigger forces at work rather than scorekeeping. We talk candidly about the pressure points that defined the year—pricing fatigue, currency and tariff shocks, and the uneven mood among collectors—while also acknowledging the resilience of independent watchmaking and the ways enthusiasm managed to persist despite real headwinds. From there, the conversation shifts to what those experiences mean looking ahead. We explore how the volatility of the U.S. market is likely to reshape industry behavior in 2026, pushing brands to think more globally and rebalance their attention toward Asia. This isn't framed as a retreat, but as a strategic response to risk, growth, and changing demographics, alongside a growing appreciation among collectors for watches and design voices emerging from outside the traditional European center of gravity. Finally, we zoom in on the cultural and structural changes we see gaining momentum: the rising influence of Gen Z, evolving definitions of value and novelty, and a gradual move away from public-facing watch discourse toward smaller, more intentional communities. Whether through new approaches to complications, aesthetics, manufacturing, or how collectors connect with one another, we see an industry that is fragmenting in interesting ways—less centralized, more experimental, and increasingly shaped by how people actually engage with watches today.

I interview Jared Ayers, head pastor at First Presbyterian Church in North Palm Beach, and author of You Can Trust a God with Scars: Faith (and Doubt) for the Searching Soul. We discuss the profound impact of shared meals, the significance of the incarnation in understanding human suffering, and the importance of honesty within Christian communities. We explore themes of hope, the illusion of control, the reality of sin, and the necessity of dignity in relationships. Ayers also emphasizes the need for vulnerability and authenticity in faith, encouraging listeners to embrace their struggles and foster inclusive communities. Takeaways Meals are a reflection of our shared stories. The incarnation shows God's deep understanding of human suffering. Hope comes from knowing we are not alone in our pain. Navigating loss requires community support and understanding. We often live under the illusion of control in our lives. Christianity addresses the reality of sin and human condition. Honesty about our struggles fosters a healthier community. Dignifying others is essential for building inclusive spaces. Wrestling with faith and doubt is a normal part of life. Living an integrated life means embracing all aspects of our experiences.

In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Dr. Alexes Hazen—board-certified plastic surgeon, microsurgery specialist, and founder of Zen Essentials—for a thoughtful conversation on skin health, ethical aesthetics, and why real results can never be separated from whole-body well-being. With a background that spans public health, global medicine, and some of the most technically demanding surgical training, Dr. Hazen brings a rare depth to how she thinks about beauty, healing, and care.Her path to medicine was anything but linear. From working with the New York City Department of Health during the AIDS crisis to serving in the Peace Corps in Honduras, Dr. Hazen learned early that medicine isn't just technical—it's human. Those experiences shaped a philosophy she carries into every aspect of her work today: outcomes are influenced as much by mental health, sleep, nutrition, and support systems as they are by surgical skill.Throughout the conversation, Dr. Hazen challenges the surface-level thinking that dominates skincare culture. Skin, she reminds us, is an organ—and it reflects what's happening internally. No product can compensate for chronic stress, dehydration, or exhaustion. When those fundamentals are addressed, skincare finally has the space to work as it should.She also speaks candidly about ethics in aesthetic medicine—why board certification matters, why saying “no” is sometimes the most responsible choice, and how listening to patients should always come before selling solutions.That same restraint and intention led to the creation of Zen Essentials, born from Dr. Hazen's own struggles with severe skin sensitivities. Designed to be effective yet calming, the line reflects her belief that skincare should support the body—not fight it.Listen to the full episode to hear Dr. Alexes Hazen unpack holistic healing, ethical aesthetics, and why real skin health starts with caring for the whole person.SHOP Zen Essentials and learn more on social media!CHAPTERS:(0:02) - Introduction & Guest Welcome(0:46) - A Nonlinear Path Into Medicine(1:26) - Public Health, AIDS Education & the Peace Corps(2:46) - Falling in Love With Surgery & Plastic Surgery Training(3:01) - Early Burn Injury, Scars & Coming Full Circle(4:12) - Why Holistic Care Matters in Surgical Outcomes(8:40) - Skin as a Reflection of Whole-Body Health(11:22) - Ethics, Training & Responsibility in Aesthetic Surgery(26:21) - The Origins of Zen Essentials & Sensitive Skin SciencePlease fill out this survey to give us feedback on the show!Don't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!*This is a paid collaboration Hosted on Acast.

Eric is joined by guests Tyson and Slayer in an episode conducted in a rapid-fire Q&A format. The discussion focuses on personal and professional experiences within the contracting and construction trades, covering topics such as favorite tools, regrettable purchasing decisions, scary job site moments, difficult phone calls, and times they felt "stuck" in their careers. They also share advice for their younger selves and discuss hypothetical actions if they won the lottery, with the overall aim of offering industry insights and personal anecdotes to entrepreneurs and pond professionals. Key Takeaways: Always invest in quality tools and equipment instead of choosing cheaper options. Be vigilant and avoid rushing when performing dangerous or critical work tasks. Begin each workday with a positive attitude and strive to be present for others. Utilize time blocking and detailed scheduling to focus on important long-term vision projects. Start saving a set amount of money regularly from an early age for a secure future.

From silicone gels and steroid injections to laser treatments and surgical revision.

We're talking cool scars, and no one has a cooler scar than KFI tech director The Foosh, following his dangerous car accident last August that nearly resulted in his arm being amputated. Video game chain store GameStop had a national Trade Anything Day, in which customers could bring in anything smaller than a breadbox and trade it for $5 in store credit. There were more than 80,000 trade-ins. Remember the cola wars of the 1970s and ’80s? It was Coca Cola vs. Pepsi, and Coke nearly got trounced when the brand changed its recipe to release New Coke in the mid-’80s. Now, a 120-year-old cola is making a comeback. That sweet drink? Royal Crown Cola! Secretary of State Marco Rubio is under pressure to admit we’ve made UFO contact. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if the very thing you think is impossible for your body is actually just one metabolic reset away?Dr. Katie Deming sits down with Jenny Davis, world-class judo athlete and elite track cyclist now navigating a stage 4 diagnosis. Jenny was doing everything right. She'd spent over a year mastering the metabolic approach with the discipline and precision of an elite athlete.Yet despite her discipline and conditioning, she struggled to get into ketosis. Then she completed a 30-day water fast with Dr. Katie, and something remarkable shifted. Within 20 hours of fasting now, her body enters the healing state that used to take days to reach. But the metabolic changes were just the beginning of what this experience unlocked.Chapters:04:30 - Becoming a fat burning machine07:20 - Letting go of genetic limits10:15 - World class athlete to cancer patient13:45 - Discovering the root causes17:50 - When grief surfaces in silence21:30 - The healing power of being seen26:10 - Messages from ancestral trauma31:40 - Surprising lab shifts after fasting36:20 - Vision, smell, and senses rebooted41:15 - Scars waking up to heal46:30 - Turning a tumor into a teacher52:10 - Meeting the authentic self againJenny shares processing grief she thought she'd already released, receiving messages from ancestors through vivid dreams, and watching her body heal surgical scars that were years old. Her eye doctor, physical therapist, and other specialists documented improvements that left them calling her body "a complete miracle."

Chapter Summary When Chaol and Aedion seek information from soldiers who once guarded the mysterious fortresses that activated the night magic vanished, Chaol turns to Dorian for support—only to be confronted with brutal honesty. Dorian calls him out for abandoning his friends when they needed him most, and Aedion delivers a similar blow, accusing Chaol of clinging to neutrality like a child too afraid to choose a side. High in the Ferian Gap, Manon and the Thirteen train relentlessly with their wyverns, but Abraxos's fragile wings cannot withstand the Crossing. Determined to save her mount, Manon seeks spider silk from the deadly Stygian spiders, but even reinforced, Abraxos hesitates at the edge of the chasm, and when Iskra lashes him to spark a fight, Manon's fury reveals just how fiercely she has come to care for her wyvern. In Wendlyn, Celaena and Rowan grow closer as their walls finally begin to crack. But during the Beltane celebrations, when Celaena reaches the edge of magical and emotional burnout, the truth she's held onto erupts. Rowan is confronted with a devastating revelation—Maeve lied to him about Aelin, and his own cruelty toward Celaena has only deepened her wounds. In the ashes of this truth, Rowan must reckon with who he has been…  and who he must become to stand beside the rightful Queen of Terrasen.

They worked Virginia's tobacco fields, South Carolina's rice marshes, and the Black Belt's cotton plantations. Wherever they lived, enslaved people found their lives indelibly shaped by the Southern environment. By day, they plucked worms and insects from the crops, trod barefoot in the mud as they hoed rice fields, and endured the sun and humidity as they planted and harvested the fields. By night, they clandestinely took to the woods and swamps to trap opossums and turtles, to visit relatives living on adjacent plantations, and at times to escape slave patrols and escape to freedom. Scars on the Land: An Environmental History of Slavery in the American South (Oxford UP, 2022) is the first comprehensive history of American slavery to examine how the environment fundamentally formed enslaved people's lives and how slavery remade the Southern landscape. Over two centuries, from the establishment of slavery in the Chesapeake to the Civil War, one simple calculation had profound consequences: rather than measuring productivity based on outputs per acre, Southern planters sought to maximize how much labor they could extract from their enslaved workforce. They saw the landscape as disposable, relocating to more fertile prospects once they had leached the soils and cut down the forests. On the leading edge of the frontier, slavery laid waste to fragile ecosystems, draining swamps, clearing forests to plant crops and fuel steamships, and introducing devastating invasive species. On its trailing edge, slavery left eroded hillsides, rivers clogged with sterile soil, and the extinction of native species. While environmental destruction fueled slavery's expansion, no environment could long survive intensive slave labor. The scars manifested themselves in different ways, but the land too fell victim to the slave owner's lash. Although typically treated separately, slavery and the environment naturally intersect in complex and powerful ways, leaving lasting effects from the period of emancipation through modern-day reckonings with racial justice.

Send us a textA shattered bowl mended with gold can change how you see your own story. We take that Kintsugi image and map it onto real life: the breaks you want to hide, the scars you downplay, and the moments you thought would end you. Instead of chasing a spotless image, we walk through how to turn those cracks into visible lines of strength—proof that you've been tested and upgraded.We dig into why scars are receipts, not defects, and how the people we admire earn our respect by showing the rebuild, not erasing it. Devin shares personal examples from launching Strive 11 and navigating a fitness dip that forced better time design. Together we unpack the cultural lie that “untouched” equals valuable, and replace it with a craftsperson's lens: honor the break, highlight the seam, and build a vessel that holds more. You'll get a simple four-step practice to apply today—name the break, extract the lesson, reinforce it with new behaviors, and stop hiding the seam—so resilience becomes a system, not a slogan.By the end, you'll have a challenge to make this mindset stick: write what happened, what it cost, and what gold you gained that you refuse to ignore. Share your seam with someone who needs strength right now. If this message reminded you that you're forged, not fragile, follow the show, leave a review, and send this to a friend who thinks they're disqualified. Your story isn't over—the gold gets added next.Support the showThanks for listening & being part of the Mindset Cafe Community.----------------------------------------------Connect With Devan:https://www.devangonzalez.com/connect----------------------------------------------Follow On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/devan.gonzalez/https://www.instagram.com/mindsetcafepodcastLet me know what topics or questions you want covered so we can help you achieve your goals faster.

Sometimes it takes a single moment to see yourself through a softer lens. In this episode, I share an experience that shifted how I relate to my imperfections and why a Japanese philosophy helped me reinterpret a scar I used to hide.

On this episode of the Secret Life Podcast, Brianne Davis-Gantt dives straight into the reality of core wounds — the deep emotional injuries that quietly script our beliefs, reactions, and relationship patterns. She breaks down why every person carries at least one core wound and how these invisible fractures shape self-worth, attachment, and day-to-day behavior.Brianne walks through all twelve core wounds, from abandonment and unlovability to inadequacy and invisibility, tracing how they originate in childhood experiences or unmet needs. She unpacks the survival patterns they generate — people-pleasing, emotional shut-down, compulsive caretaking, chronic anxiety — and how those patterns keep us locked in cycles that feel impossible to break.She pushes listeners to confront and name their wounds, offering practical, grounded steps for healing: self-compassion, nervous-system awareness, and professional support when needed. The takeaway is simple but powerful: when you understand the wound, you stop letting it run the show. That clarity creates space for healthier relationships, steadier emotions, and a more honest relationship with yourself.

We can use the painful things in our lives for God's glory.

As you know, we can get scars on our bodies from injuries and medical procedures. There are other kinds of scars that no one can see but anyone around you will experience them. Let's call them Mental Scars, these scars develop when painful and hard circumstances take place in our life. Science is showing us that mental scars actually build up scar tissue in our brain.When mental scar tissue develops in the brain essentially what is taking place is your brain rewires itself and becomes more rigid. It's a self protective mechanism to reduce the odds of experiencing the pain again. When scar tissue develops in the brain it can make your brain hyperactive, leading to constant fear and anxiety. Part of your brain shrinks in ways that can cause problems with memory and learning. It also makes it more difficult to regulate emotions. Your brain creates protective mechanisms that can look like emotional numbness, distrust, perfectionism or avoidance behaviors.HOWEVER, DON'T WORRY! Do you want to know what you can do to help heal your brain!?! One of the most powerful tools for healing mental scar tissue is “GRATITUDE”. Gratitude from a scientific perspective can help “soften” the rigid defensive patterns that pain creates. Over time it creates new neural pathways that are more flexible, hopeful and trusting. It strengthens the part of your brain that regulates your emotions, calms the part that processes fear and danger. In a way it lays healthy tissue over old wounds.This we know is a strong biblical practice not only as an expression of worship but it also has healing properties to our brain. So my encouragement to you is to become ridiculously grateful and let's watch what takes place in our bodies and our lives.For more info, you can go to our website, check us out on Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube. If you would like to support STUDIO financially, you can do so here.Have a great week!

It is easy to understand a person who is driven by their passions.Your passions take you to your happy place.I have friends who have a passion for sporting events on television. Others have a passion for gambling, and the paripatetic have a passion for traveling to all the far-flung places on this spinning rock we live upon.People who have a passion for achievement live to make things different.Planning and research puts a candle to the wick of some people. They go without sleep and burn bright throughout the night as they gather, collate, and organize information that will set the future on fire.Your scars are the memories of bitter experiences.The pain is gone, but the benefits of those experiences remain. Your scars help you see danger on the horizon.Your scars are the diplomas of lessons you will never forget.It is good to have scars.But wounds… wounds are different.The pain remains and it triggers you to act in ways that everyone notices but no one understands. Sometimes not even you.I have known men whose only passion was to seduce every woman they encountered. Those men like to believe that they are “in love with falling in love.” But when you have known them long enough you will see a knife wound in their chest that has never healed. Way back in the long ago, they had a wife who began sleeping with another man. And ever since that day, they have been trying to become that man.The pain of a wound is a powerful thing. It shouts, “Never again! Never again! Never again!”I don't believe that any of those men have ever figured out why they feel driven to become the living embodiment of the imaginary Don Juan, and I have never felt that it was my place to tell them.Every person is formed by their passions, scars, and wounds. Even imaginary people.All of the famous characters in literature were created from their passions, scars, and wounds.Novelists, playwrights, and screenwriters know this. Ad writers do not. This is why most advertising is dull, dead, and untwitching.When an ad writer is guided by the ambitions, demands, and expectations of their clients, you can expect to hear the glorious trumpets of a ringing call to action. “Come! Come now! Give me your money! Hurry! Hurry! I want your money Today! Today! Today! Act now! Don't delay!”We are not enchanted by these ads.Did it ever occur to you that every successful brand is a character that lives in the mind of the customer?A successful brand is driven by its passions, scars, and wounds.Passion: Why does this brand exist? What is it chasing? What love does it represent?Scars: What does it know? What has it learned? Why can I trust this brand?Wounds: What is this brand trying to erase from the earth?To what does it shout, “Never again! Never again! Never again!”Roy H. Williams

Don't be stupid in the first place and you don't have to try to make up for it.
