Send us a textWelcome back to DMRMonster: The Ed Gein Story is the third season of the Netflix anthology Monster. Charlie Hunnam takes on the chilling role of Ed Gein, the real-life murderer and grave robber, playing him with a disturbing mix of vulnerability and menace. He's supported by Laurie Metcalf as his domineering mother, Augusta, and Tom Hollander portraying Alfred Hitchcock in a metafictional twist — tying Gein's life to the cinematic monsters he inspired. The series was developed by Ian Brennan and overseen by Ryan Murphy, with Max Winkler directing much of the season. Hunnam has said that he felt significant pressure playing such a dark, psychologically complex figure, and described the role as emotionally taxing.Critically, the season has been met with strong backlash. Many reviewers criticize it for sensationalising Gein's crimes rather than offering a thoughtful exploration of his psyche. Some argue that the show leans too heavily into stylised horror, fictional subplots, and shock value — distracting from any deeper commentary on mental illness or the nature of evil. There's also concern about historical inaccuracy and how the series humanizes Gein at the expense of his real-life victims. While Hunnam's performance is often cited as a high point, critics largely describe the overall show as morally ambivalent, unfocused, and exploitative.Remeber to grab you 30 day free Audible trial, link in the show!Support the showThe audio clips used in this podcast, including excerpts from movie/series/documentary trailers, are used under the principles of fair use and fair dealing for the purpose of criticism, commentary, and review.

Headlines shout certainty while the data whispers, and that gap can cost us wisdom. We dive into what real research looks like, how to separate signal from noise, and why the difference between correlation and causation matters for your health, your choices, and your credibility. From flashy anecdotes and AI-polished videos to the quiet rigor of controls, sample sizes, and replication, we walk through a practical, plain-language guide to spotting trustworthy studies without getting lost in jargon.We talk about the strengths and limits of meta-analyses, the importance of peer review, and why timeframes can make or break a claim—short-term happiness can look very different seven years later. Funding isn't neutral either, so we show you how incentives shape headlines and why early “breakthroughs” often fade when larger trials arrive. You'll hear how to use public resources like NIH repositories, when to lean on academic libraries, and how to ask better questions of your doctor or any expert you trust. Along the way, we call out common logical fallacies, the lure of echo chambers, and the subtle ways our pride and emotions tug us toward bad conclusions.Underneath it all is a deeper commitment: caring about truth is an act of stewardship. We want to make decisions with integrity, serve our neighbors with reliable information, and admit honestly when the evidence just isn't there yet. That blend of diligence and humility keeps us grounded—pursuing knowledge while recognizing our limits, weighing evidence without surrendering compassion, and trusting God when certainty runs out.If this conversation helps you think more clearly about research and real-world decisions, share it with a friend.

Is embodiment a tool in the ongoing fight for collective justice? In the intro, I share how the wellness world shaped my understanding of embodiment (why it matters and what it is for) and share how two decades of navel-gazing conditioned me to be complacent in the face of injustice. I catch us up on some current events, then share a riveting interview with Dr. Lesa Clark, a strategic leader in intercultural engagement and equity. Lesa shares personal stories from her family's history and how they shaped a lifelong commitment to social justice. She and I discuss embodied leadership, the importance of integrity (vs. performativity) in DEI initiatives, and the need for collective action and courage to confront oppressive systems. Lesa speaks to the complex interplay between leadership and followership, inviting us to break free from groupthink and to embody values that foster societal change. The discussion concludes with reflections on resilience, allyship, and the pursuit of justice.Dr. Lesa C. Clark is a strategic leader with expertise in intercultural engagement, leadership development, and equity. With over 20 years of experience, she empowers organizations and individuals to cultivate inclusive cultures that prioritize diversity and facilitate authentic cross-cultural engagement. As the former Executive Director for Intercultural Relations and Women's and Gender Equity Centers at Old Dominion University, Dr. Clark spearheaded collaborative campus-wide DEI initiatives. She developed and instructed courses centered on cultural humility, connecting this framework to cultural competency and emotional intelligence. She recently completed a three-year research project that foregrounds the leadership of Black birth workers, a designation frequently overlooked in both academic literature and professional settings. Dr. Lesa Clark demonstrates how culturally grounded ancestral practices challenge and dismantle harmful practices, advancing more responsive and equitable maternal healthcare. Additionally, her work explores the leadership of Black women in Kenya, South Africa, and the United States, offering a comprehensive, global, and historical analysis of intersectional leadership and advocacy. Dr. Clark has advanced intersectional leadership paradigms that promote inclusion, respect, and equity, envisioning and enabling the development of systems and communities in which all members are empowered to flourish, thrive, and lead effectively.Referenced In This Episode:How To Stand Up to a Dictator, by Maria RessaACLU - Neglect & Abuse in ICE DetentionAnthony Boyd - Equal Justice InitiativeDr. Resmaa Menakem - Somatic AbolitionismTo Stop a Tyrant, by Ira Chaleff Donna Ladkin - On EmbodimentSupport the showThe stories and opinions shared in this episode are based on personal experience and are not intended to malign any individual, group, or organization.Join The Deeper Pulse at Patreon for weekly bonus episodes + other exclusive bonus content.

The impact these roles played on his later career cannot be underestimated. According to Sandy, “The pressure of performing in front of a live audience or live tape made everything else a little easier. Ït was 40 or 50 million people RIGHT NOW!

Nothing else could be more terrifying.”Best known for his unforgettable portrayal of Andy Travis, America's favorite Program Director, in the classic sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati.

A new generic abortion pill hits the market, IVF access expands, and home births surge—each framed as progress, each carrying hidden costs. We pull apart the headlines and ask the harder question: what protects vulnerable lives when policy moves faster than moral clarity?First, we unpack the FDA's approval of another mifepristone generic and why “identical formulation” doesn't settle the ethical debate. Safety talk often skims maternal side effects while ignoring the unborn child's near‑certain risk. We share what informed consent should include, where reversal protocols fit, and how education—not outrage—changes hearts.Then we turn to IVF. Lower prices and broader coverage sound compassionate, yet the standard process frequently creates more embryos than will ever be transferred, leaving many discarded or frozen. We affirm the immeasurable worth of children born via IVF and still press a core truth: outcomes don't excuse methods that treat some lives as expendable. We explore alternatives—limited embryo creation, embryo adoption, clinics with life‑honoring protocols—and practical guidance for couples who want help without hidden casualties.Finally, we explore the rise of home births: trust in hospitals is shaky, rural options are thinning, and many families desire a more natural experience. We outline risk factors, contingency planning, and how to weigh stewardship over statements. Along the way, we examine a broader cultural shift—how emotion often overrides logic in public life—and why that matters most when the smallest lives can't speak for themselves.If this conversation helps you think more clearly and act more compassionately, follow the show, leave a review, and share it with a friend who cares about life, family, and faith. Your voice helps bring careful truth and real hope to more people.SHOW NOTES:The FDA's abortion pill approval: https://www.nbcnews.com/health/womens-health/fda-approves-generic-abortion-pill-mifepristone-rcna235265 The current administration's IVF efforts: https://www.liveaction.org/news/trump-promises-expansion-ivf-cost-saving-measuresIntended Home Births Rising: About 1% of U.S. live births happened at home in 2019 — in 2023, more than 1.5% did, per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The speculation is that the rise is attributed to increasing distrust of traditional medicine. There may also be a correlation with the closure of rural hospitals.

Kicking off a new short-form series on reinventing leadership, I sit down with Dr. Suze Wilson, an associate professor at Massey University in New Zealand. She and I discuss the history and significance of critical theory as a tool in understanding and transforming leadership dynamics to foster greater inclusivity and equity. Suze shares a bit about her background and then summarizes her doctoral work on the evolution of leadership theories from trait theory to transformational leadership. She critiques the magical and often unrealistic expectations placed on leaders, particularly highlighting the danger of overlooking power dynamics in modern contexts. The conversation also explores the impact of political trends, particularly the rise of Trumpism, on global leadership norms. Toward the end of the episode, Suze emphasizes pragmatic approaches to fostering healthier leadership practices, referencing New Zealand's former Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, as an illustrative example. The episode concludes with reflections on hope and collective agency in driving social change.Dr. Suze Wilson is a leadership scholar and senior lecturer at Massey University, Auckland, Aotearoa, New Zealand. Her research examines issues of power, identity, gender, ethics, discourse, practice, context, and crisis in relation to leadership and its development. Her doctoral thesis won the 2014 Fredric M. Jablin Doctoral Dissertation Award, given by the ILA in partnership with the Jepson School of Leadership Studies; she has since become a Fellow and Board member of the ILA. Her work has appeared in the Journal of Business Ethics, Organization, Organizational Dynamics, Leadership and Culture, and Organization. Suze's books are Thinking Differently About Leadership (2016), Revitalizing Leadership (2018), written in collaboration with Stephen Cummings, Brad Jackson, and Sarah Proctor-Thomson, and After Leadership, which she edited in collaboration with Brigid Carroll and Josh Firth. She is also editor of the Routledge Critical Companion to Leadership Studies along with David Knights, Owain Smolovic-Jones, and Helena Liu. She is an Associate Editor of the journal Leadership and also writes public commentary for The Conversation. Before entering academia, Suze held a range of senior leadership roles in several government agencies, the New Zealand postal service, a trade union, and the student union movement.Referenced In This Episode:Letters From An American - Heather Cox RichardsonThinking Differently About Leadership, by Suze Wilson, PhDA Different Kind of Power: A Memoir, by Jacinda ArdernSupport the showThe stories and opinions shared in this episode are based on personal experience and are not intended to malign any individual, group, or organization.Join The Deeper Pulse at Patreon for weekly bonus episodes + other exclusive bonus content.

It's a big, loud, entertaining ride that captures some of the old magic, and for audiences simply craving dino mayhem, it largely delivers. The cast is solid, the action sequences are well-executed, and it feels more respectful of the original Jurassic Park tone than some recent installments.But the story itself doesn't quite evolve — it's weighed down by thin characters, predictable plotting, and a few unnecessary subplots. Many reviewers describe it as fun but forgettable, a movie that entertains in the moment yet doesn't leave a lasting impact. That's why it sits at around 50% on Rotten Tomatoes: half the critics enjoyed the spectacle, while the other half felt the franchise is stuck in the past. In short, Rebirth roars but doesn't soar!Remember to grab your 30 day free Audible trial, link is in the show, you will also support DMR!Support the showThe audio clips used in this podcast, including excerpts from movie/series/documentary trailers, are used under the principles of fair use and fair dealing for the purpose of criticism, commentary, and review.

What if bold faith looks less like a podium and more like a quiet, honest confession: I need Jesus right now. We sit down with Pastor Titus Buelow to unpack why so many of us feel hesitant to speak about the gospel in a polarized culture, and how humility, practiced empathy, and real community can transform anxious silence into steady courage. Instead of the tidy “before and after,” Titus offers a present-tense testimony that keeps Jesus at the center and keeps our tone human when conversations turn to abortion, politics, family fracture, and the everyday mess we all carry.We get practical about moving from small talk to soul talk without sounding superior. Titus shares how naming Jesus as our authority shifts debates away from ego battles and toward foundations people can examine. We also talk about validating emotion as part of spiritual care, pairing conviction with tangible compassion, and offering real resources so our ethics show up in action. The early church held truth and mercy together; we can, too, when we approach others as sinners loved by a greater Savior.Courage grows in community. Titus describes why he launched Be Underground, a safe space where believers practice hard conversations, refine tone, and build confidence before stepping into tougher rooms. Family life matters here as well: risking short-term tension at home creates long-term strength and deeper bonds. Titus also opens up about his journey with depression, showing how God shapes ministers through weakness to serve others in the valley. If you've wondered how to start, begin simply: share why you need Jesus with one person in pain, listen well, and stay present.Subscribe for more thoughtful, faith-first conversations, share this episode with a friend who needs courage today, and leave a review to help others find the show.

What happens when parenting meets pressure from schools, policies, and cultural trends that sideline the family? We tackle the question head-on, starting with Scripture's clear claim that parents—especially fathers—carry God-given responsibility to raise children in truth and love. From there, we dig into the gray areas that so often trip us up: when to intervene for another family's child, how to spot the line between objective harm and mere parenting style differences, and why demeanor and trust can make or break hard conversations.We also unpack the government's limited role in family life. Yes, civil authority can protect and support, but overreach—especially in spiritual and moral spheres—undermines parental rights and confuses children. Through examples like school secrecy around identity changes and curriculum battles, we offer a field guide for engaged, informed, and respectful advocacy. The goal isn't to fight every trend; it's to stand where Scripture stands, act where danger is clear, and partner where common ground exists.Most of all, we emphasize the quiet force of presence. Show up in your child's world—coach, volunteer, ask questions, and pray. Build a network of parents and church members who encourage rather than critique. Offer practical help to moms and dads who feel overwhelmed, and keep the focus on what glorifies God and truly serves a child's good. If you're ready for clear biblical principles, grounded wisdom, and tangible next steps you can use this week, this conversation is for you.If this resonates, subscribe, share with a friend who needs the encouragement, and leave a review so others can find the show.

Send us a textWelcome back to DMR!One Battle After Another is a 2025 action-thriller directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, featuring Leonardo DiCaprio as Bob, a former revolutionary leader trying to live a quiet life off the grid with his daughter, Willa, played by Chase Infiniti. Their peace is shattered when Willa disappears, pulling Bob back into a world he thought he'd left behind. Teyana Taylor plays Perfidia, a figure from Bob's past whose allegiances are uncertain, while Sean Penn portrays Colonel Steven J. Lockjaw, an old adversary with unfinished business. The film also features Benicio del Toro and Regina Hall in pivotal supporting roles.With its grounded performances and politically charged storyline, the film blends personal stakes with broader themes of loyalty, consequence, and resistance. Paul Thomas Anderson brings his signature style to the project—blending suspense, emotional weight, and rich character dynamics—which may draw critical attention. While it certainly has the hallmarks of a high-caliber drama, One Battle After Another seems more focused on telling a tight, character-driven story than chasing awards. That said, with the talent involved, it wouldn't be surprising if it ends up in the conversation during awards season.Reminder to grab your 30 day free trial with Audible and help support DMR in the process, link in the show!Support the showThe audio clips used in this podcast, including excerpts from movie/series/documentary trailers, are used under the principles of fair use and fair dealing for the purpose of criticism, commentary, and review.

In the words of Timothy Snyder: “Do not obey in advance.” On October 18th, millions of Americans will gather across the nation to say ‘No' to authoritarianism. This episode opens with audio from my solo experience at the first No Kings Protest in Downtown Los Angeles back in June. I share excerpts and offer a felt-sense of peaceful resistance and love in action. Then I take a critical look at 'followership' and at how complacency can be another form of compliance. I tell on myself in this regard; two decades of new age naval gazing taught me to prioritize peace within (aka my personal comfort) over principled insistence upon justice for all. As a lead-in to the next few episodes, I present evidence that debunks the myth of meritocracy, and I question the presumption that leadership is the source of unity and the answer to all of humanity's problems. The episode concludes with a few actions each of us can take to actively question the leader-follower dyad in our everyday lives in real time.Referenced in this episode:On Tyranny, by Timothy SnyderJanaya Future Khan on IGFind a No Kings Protest near youSupport the showThe stories and opinions shared in this episode are based on personal experience and are not intended to malign any individual, group, or organization.Join The Deeper Pulse at Patreon for weekly bonus episodes + other exclusive bonus content.

When sorrow hits the headlines—or lands in our homes—saying “thoughts and prayers” can feel either deeply kind or painfully empty. We unpack why that phrase draws so much fire, and how to turn it from a reflex into a lifeline by praying with purpose and following through with real help. With Pastors Bob Fleischmann and Jeff Samelson, we explore the power of intercession, the pitfalls of vague sentiment, and the simple shifts that make care tangible.We dig into what honest prayer looks like: starting with adoration, naming specific needs, and remembering that the Lord's Prayer centers the spiritual before the physical. From processing personal loss to responding to national disasters, we talk through practical petitions—comfort, strength for the next day, protection from bitterness, wise leaders, open doors for mercy—and why “How can I pray for you?” beats a generic promise every time. You'll hear stories from ministry and real life that show how serving and praying belong together, not as either/or but both/and.If you've ever wondered what to say when words fail, this conversation offers tools you can use today: ask better questions, pray on the spot, act within your reach, and keep the long view of love. We also balance James 2's call to meet urgent needs with James 5's assurance that “the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” The result is a clear, warm path away from clichés and toward care that actually helps.If this resonates, share it with a friend who needs encouragement, subscribe for more thoughtful conversations, and leave a quick review to help others find the show.

Gen Z is rewriting the rules on dating, love, and marriage — and the Church can't afford to ignore it. They're the most connected generation in history, yet also the most anxious.In this powerful conversation with God Love Co., we unpack how social media and technology have reshaped how Gen Z sees commitment, intimacy, and faith. Constant comparison, instant validation, and digital “situationships” have created a culture craving authenticity but terrified of vulnerability.We dive deep into what's really going on — and how this generation can move from anxious attachment to anchored identity in Christ.

A public murder, a public act of forgiveness, and a public reckoning with what courage really costs—this conversation starts where the news won't and moves into the places most of us live: trust, discernment, and the daily habits that shape our conscience. We open with the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the surprising witness that emerged from the memorial—clear gospel, costly grace, and a reminder that God can draw purpose from tragedy without excusing evil. The question beneath the headlines is personal: what risks will we take for truth, and how do we respond when our enemies give us every reason not to love them?From there, we move through the thickets of modern medicine, where vaccine skepticism collides with scientific claims and shifting guidance. Instead of trading slogans, we slow down to practice discernment—separating correlation from causation, weighing evidence, and remembering that loving our neighbor includes doing our homework. That same careful posture anchors a frank look at xenotransplantation, as researchers push the boundaries of pig-to-human organ transplants. We unpack somatic versus germline concerns, the special dignity of human life, and how to balance innovation, transparency, and moral guardrails when the stakes are life and death.Finally, we tackle AI's ethical drift. New studies show the more people rely on AI, the easier cheating becomes and the harder it is to think for ourselves. We share practical ways to use AI without losing integrity—designing assessments that test real understanding, cultivating intellectual friction, and resisting the algorithmic echo chambers that tell us only what we want to hear. Through it all, one thread remains: a call to rebuild the muscles of clear thinking, mercy, and courage so we can serve our neighbors and witness to Christ with honesty and hope.If this resonates, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review to help others find the show. Then tell us: which topic do you want us to dig into next?SHOW NOTES:Pig Lung Xenotransplant to Human: Chinese scientists have successfully transplanted a pig lung into a human being for the first time, with the organ partially functioning before it was removed. Researchers used CRISPR technology to make six gene edits to the left lung of a pig whose organs are roughly human-sized. They transferred the lung into a brain-dead 39-year-old man. Initially, the lung delivered oxygen to his blood and removed carbon dioxide. Within 24 hours, however, signs of damage appeared, and the body began to reject the organ. Scientists ended the experiment following fluid buildup. The patient was removed from life support per his family's wishes.

Freedom of speech sounds simple—until you try to speak a hard truth at work, post a conviction online, or share the gospel with someone who disagrees. We unpack what free speech actually protects, where the guardrails are, and why the ability to speak openly is essential to practicing faith, especially when it comes to pro‑life and pro‑family advocacy. Along the way, we look at how cancel culture, “hate speech” labels, and the claim that “speech is violence” are reshaping public conversation and pressuring people into silence.We walk through the First Amendment's intent and limits, the deep link between freedom of religion and freedom of expression, and why global restrictions on evangelism hollow out true religious liberty. Then we get practical: how to speak with conviction and gentleness, how to respond when you're misrepresented, and how small, face‑to‑face conversations often do more than viral posts. Drawing on Jesus' example—firm with hardened hypocrisy, tender with the searching—we explore a posture that builds bridges without bending the truth.If you've wondered how to navigate tense cultural issues without losing your witness, this conversation offers clarity, courage, and actionable wisdom. You'll learn to distinguish offense from harm, keep your focus on the mission field right in front of you, and rely on the Spirit's help to say what's needed rather than what's popular.

What if the key to deeper spiritual growth isn't more knowledge, but better emotional awareness? Scott Mittelstadt, a former law enforcement officer turned emotional intelligence consultant, reveals how understanding your emotions transforms every relationship—including your relationship with God.Ever sit down to read scripture only to realize minutes later you can't remember what you just read? You're not alone. Scott shares how journaling revolutionized his Bible study, creating "a night and day difference" in his comprehension and retention. This simple practice helped him "dig deeper to look for meaning" rather than merely checking off a spiritual discipline.The science is clear: our brains are constantly being rewired by our thoughts. With negative stimuli overwhelming positive ones in our daily lives, intentional practices like gratitude journaling become essential for maintaining emotional health. Scott explains how writing down three good things daily helped him maintain a positive outlook even after years in a profession saturated with society's darker elements.Perhaps most surprising is the revelation that only 7% of communication meaning comes from our actual words—the remaining 93% derives from body language, tone, and inflection. This explains why text messages and emails so frequently lead to misunderstandings.

Send us a textSquid Game Season 3 on Netflix brings the brutal saga to a close with a sharp edge and emotional gravity. This final chapter sees Seong Gi-hun return not as a player, but as a man with a mission—to dismantle the twisted machinery behind the games. Across six tightly wound episodes, the show doubles down on moral ambiguity, betrayal, and the human cost of survival. Familiar faces resurface, past wounds are torn open, and justice becomes a blood-stained pursuit. It's not just about who survives anymore—it's about who can live with what they've done. The ending doesn't just tie up loose ends; it leaves scars—on characters and viewers alike.But Squid Game was always bigger than its plot. It reshaped global entertainment, proving that a Korean-language series could dominate the world's screens and spark global conversations about inequality, desperation, and the price of choice. Its legacy is etched not just in ratings or awards, but in culture—those green tracksuits, the haunting music, the symbolism of every game. Season 3 may mark the end of the story, but Squid Game's impact will echo for years. It didn't just go out with a bang—it signed off in blood and ink, sealing its place as one of the most daring and influential shows of our time.Remember to click on the link in the show for your 30 Day Free Audible Trial and help support DMR in the process!
