This week, in Ramsey, New Jersey, a woman hears her boyfriend being murdered, over the phone, but by the time police get to him, it's too late. The focus lands on a family member of an ex, but that man says that he couldn't possibly have committed this murder... because he was "too fat to murder"! This gets even crazier at trial, including lying family members, wiretaps, insane internet searches. And, of course, a parrot!!Along the way, we find out that parrots are a sign of impending doom, that you shouldn't stop for a burger, on your way to do a murder, and that no one is too fat to be a killer!!Hosted by James Pietragallo and Jimmie WhismanNew episodes every Thursday!Donate at: patreon.com/crimeinsports or go to paypal.com and use our email: crimeinsports@gmail.comGo to shutupandgivememurder.com for all things Small Town Murder & Crime In Sports!Follow us on...twitter.com/@murdersmallfacebook.com/smalltownpodinstagram.com/smalltownmurderAlso, check out James & Jimmie's other show, Crime In Sports!

The title is "The Danger of Forcing Forgiveness" on the website. I was titled "The Tyranny of Forgiveness" in the printed magazine. Both articles are the same.Today's topic is heavier than usual. Sadly, the topic of sexual abuse and how abusers use forgiveness to cover themselves is needful in our time. There are victims who need help desperately, but are effectively being coerced into forgiving in a way that keeps them silent. They are simply staying controlled and manipulated and not getting the attention and mercy they need to heal. The article above discusses this travesty and suggest four things that need to be brought to the light so that a better path can be taken. God desires to forgive. And so should we. God has given mercy to you and expects you to extend it. However, forgiveness is a gift to be given, not taken. It is not to be controlled by the one who seeks the forgiveness, and certainly not twisted to benefit them over the victim. I hope you find the article helpful. To breathe some lighter air going into it, we will start by looking at basic principles of forgiveness, including a heart for people who have not yet asked to be forgiven.- What does it mean to forgive someone who has sinned against you?- What should motivate that act? - What if they do not ask forgiveness?- What if they have hurt you criminally and ask forgiveness, but want you to remain quiet about it?- Should people face consequences for criminal sin, even after they've been forgiven?- How will someone approach repentance if they care about God and the well being their victim more than for themselves?

“Sexual energy is sacred. My pleasure is a prayer that brings me back to life." - Isis, Goddess of Magic “I am the voice of my body and soul. I choose a life that I desire to live." - Lilith, the First Woman As the sequel of our Fast Friday series on divine feminine characters, today's episode focuses on the First Woman and the Egyptian Goddess of Magic and Wisdom. Like those discussed in Episode 163, Isis and Lilith are two earthshaking embodiments of the Divine Feminine. They represent her in powerful, dynamic ways that are often not depicted in mainstream narratives. The Divine Feminine energy within us all is a force that can be as powerful as a tsunami or as soft as a lullaby. I believe the trick to embodying Her energy is to have the discretion to know WHEN the right time is for tapping into a selected aspect of her many faces. This is Part II of a multi-part series on figures who represent divine femininity featuring the Divine Feminine Oracle Cards by Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author, Master of Divinity and profound feminist theologian, Meggan Watterson. On her website, Meggan states: "I wanted to be spiritual in a way that allowed me to be as at home in my soul as I am in my skin. Separating my sexuality from my spirituality didn't work for me, because it wasn't true to my experience. For me, it was only by winning back my body—by daring to really be present to all I was feeling in my body—that I finally began to connect to what is eternal in me. The body then wasn't an obstacle but, in a way, the goal." Each of the figures we will discuss in this series represents something in you. We are a blend of the diving and the human, the animal and the spiritual. If at any point you find that one of these figures resonate with you, it may be reverberating with hidden aspect of you that longs to be expressed.

This is part one of an amazing interview I did with fellow life coach Julie Balkman. I really wanted to do this interview with Julie because I think a lot of our young adults are really struggling in dating and moving into relationships and into sexual relationships. Whether you're a young adult, either single and dating or newly married or you have young adults, even if you have been married a long time, I think you're going to find some really good, valuable insights into why things are the way they are for you in this episode. Don't miss part 2 coming next week. Julie Balkman, founder of the 100 Interviews Project and expert panelist for the LDS dating app Mutual, is a dating expert and certified life coach who helps young adults get out of the dating game and into a real relationship that lasts. The dating game often continues into engagement and marriage, so she also works with newly married couples, helping them build a relationship based on real love and intimacy. With eight years experience working with hundreds of young adults (single and married), she has seen firsthand the desire and need for clear answers, actionable steps, and real results. You can find her at juliebalkmancoaching.com and @lifecoach.julie on Instagram.

Unfortunately, our society is set up with a lot of issues in a taboo arena that [make] people automatically feel uncomfortable. Being able to disarm them and connect with them such that they are ready to grow and that they feel that they can confront and tackle these issues that come across their plate—it's really rewarding. So I would say that that's my superpower.Adrienne Lawrence, author and consultant for Jennifer Lawrence Consulting, works to empower companies and thought leaders to adopt workplace diversity, equity and inclusion efforts and helps them avoid trending on social media.“I specialize in keeping people from trending on Twitter because they stepped in it,” she says, adding a key for success in this area: “Be humble and recognize that, ‘hey, I'm not going to have all the answers and I am going to step in it.'”AI Summary1. Adrienne Lawrence is a VP and consultant at Jennifer Brown Consulting.2. She helps workplaces become more inclusive, and individuals become more inclusive within their work. 3. She works in anti-racism to help organizations understand diversity's uniqueness and value.4. One of the fundamental principles for creating a more inclusive workplace is being humble and hungry for information.5. She is the author of Staying in the Game: The Playbook for Beating Workplace Sexual Harassment. 6. Her book offers guidance on navigating workplace sexual harassment. 7. Sexual harassment in the workplace is not just a women's issue; men can also be impacted.8. She offers tools and strategies for individuals to navigate and combat workplace harassment.9. Lawrence emphasizes the importance of having difficult conversations to break down barriers and improve communication. 10. She provides information on her consulting firm, Jennifer Brown Consulting, and how individuals can learn more about her and her work.Adrienne says we should all be aware that “There may have been things that occurred historically that our parents' generation, grandparents or even hundreds of years before had created that situation. And the legacy lives on today. I'm not responsible for that, but I am responsible for this relationship.”Given the essential nature of interpersonal relationships in the workplace, she says that understanding “you're not going to have all the answers, you're not going to see the landmines—but that's okay. When you step in it, there is an opportunity there to mend that relationship, to grow and to exercise greater self-awareness.”Too often, she says, people think of diversity too simply as being exclusively about race. She sees DEI as a broad umbrella covering a range of “isms,” including sexism, homophobia and transphobia. She sees sobriety status, religion and neurotype as also needing representation. “It's all of the little things about each one of us that makes us unique.”She sees The Walking Dead as a model for valuing diversity. Every member of the core cast had a unique skill that, combined with the others, allowed the group to fend off the zombies successfully. Earlier in her career, Adrienne took an on-air position with ESPN. After surviving sexual harassment there, she wrote Staying in the Game: The Playbook for Beating Workplace Sexual Harassment. “The book is the first of its kind guide, largely for employees to help people understand and navigate this form of bullying,” she says.Adrienne uses her superpower, her ability to have difficult conversations with people, to help her in her work.How to Develop the Ability to Have Difficult Conversations As a Superpower“One of the things I do is executive coaching and mediation,” Adrienne says. “Sometimes you might have people who are great at what they do, but when they come together, they clash, which is often the case when you have type A personalities, people who are go-getters.”She offers guidance for resolving conflicts and having difficult conversations.To ease conflict, it's essential to remove yourself from the equation. Centering yourself and worrying about how others perceive you can hinder progress. Instead, focus on the goal and recognize that other people's responses are not necessarily about you. By de-centering yourself, you can approach the situation with more power and effectiveness. Ask yourself, “What is my focus here?” and consider different dynamics to reach your goal. This mindset will allow you to do your best work.By following Adrienne's example and advice, you can develop the ability to have difficult conversations that enable you to resolve conflicts and grow as a human being, enabling you to do more good in the world.Guest-Provided ProfileAdrienne Lawrence (she/her):Vice President, Jennifer Brown ConsultingAbout Jennifer Brown Consulting: Workplace InclusionWebsite: www.jenniferbrownconsulting.comTwitter Handle: @jbcinclusionCompany Facebook Page:Other URL: www.adriennejlawrence.comBiographical Information: As an impactful workplace equity educator and devoted inclusion advocate, Adrienne Lawrence does more than just talk.
