Trump's tariff wars are officially on. Donald Trump’s first two targets are Mexico and Canada, imposing 25% tariffs on their products – and 20% on Chinese imports. These three countries accounted for more than 40% of imports into the US last year. He’s also introduced a 25% tariff on all steel and aluminium products worldwide. On his social media site, Truth Social, Trump said if the EU doesn’t remove a proposed 50% tariff on US bourbon, the US will place a 200% tariff on all wines, champagnes, and alcoholic products coming out of the EU. Foreign Minister Winston Peters is currently in the US – he’s said he’s approaching the Trump administration “with eyes wide open” and that he’s “prepared to listen, hear them out, hear their side of the story”. But, will that be enough to shift New Zealand out of Trump’s firing line? CBC News senior parliamentary reporter, J.P. Tasker is with us from Ottawa, where citizens are actively boycotting US made products in response. Then, later on The Front Page we’ll speak to Buy New Zealand Made executive director, Dane Ambler about whether we’ve seen any impact here yet. Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

Today our co-hosts wrap-up the shunning mini-series, unpacking what they've learned from Craig, Lindy, Windy & Savin. This topic has been given four episodes because the costs for individuals, families and communities who experience this cruel tactic of control is devastating and poorly understood. Mandated shunning destroys lives, destroys communities, and there are no laws to protect people from falling victim to it. Join the Cult Chat team as they debrief for the final episode on this topic.

In this 3rd episode on shunning, Craig Hoyle, author of “Excommunicated” shares about growing up in the Exclusive Brethren, aware that many members of his family have disappeared and been painted by the church as evil. Ultimately Craig faces his own sudden excommunication. This conversation shows powerfully the inter-generational impacts of shunning, both for those who are obliterated from the family tree, and those who are left behind. The interview was recorded at the Oct 24 Decult Conference.

Our guests share insights for those affected by shunning, and discuss ways to reframe and grow through the experience. This episode is the second of four in a mini series on shunning.

Is shunning the most insidious of all cult practices? In today's episode Lindy and our guests, researchers Windy and Savin from Roehampton University, define shunning and discuss how it's used deliberately as a tool by coercively controlling groups to threaten and impose social death for those who question the rules. Savin and Windy introduce listeners to their research, and the movement sweeping the world to make mandated shunning a crime. This episode is the first of four in a mini series on shunning.

The renowned scholar Shaykh al-'Uthaymeen explains this treatise and provides valuable points of benefit.

Joe Cavatoni identifies three factors driving gold's new highs this year: the global demand for gold from central bank buying, a “tale of two cities” in investment sentiment between Eastern and Western markets, and overall geopolitical tensions. He thinks the trend will continue into 2025, though he says it might not be such a record year. ======== Schwab Network ======== Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Anusha Bradley, a renowned investigative journalist at Radio New Zealand, discusses her in-depth reporting on Jehovah's Witness shunning—a practice that has caused widespread emotional abuse among those who leave the faith or are disfellowshipped, officially kicked out. Anusha Bradley will also be leading a panel at the upcoming Decult Cult Awareness Conference, where she will engage with former Jehovah's Witnesses, including myself, to explore this harsh form of religious abuse that has affected countless lives globally.This conversation covers Anusha's deep involvement in the New Zealand investigation into abuse in care within the Jehovah's Witnesses, a groundbreaking case the organization attempted to stop it with a lawsuit. Their resistance to scrutiny has only intensified the importance of this investigation, which could soon reveal critical findings about the abuse in care within this high-control religious group.We explore the emotional toll that Jehovah's Witness shunning takes on individuals and families, and why this practice should be seen as a violation of human rights and religion. Anusha also talks about the importance of investigative journalism in holding powerful organizations accountable for their actions, and how the Jehovah's Witnesses lawsuit has highlighted the need for further scrutiny. This interview is part of the Decult Cult Awareness Conference takeover, introducing viewers to the leading voices and experts in cult awareness and cult recovery. Anusha Bradley's panel will provide unique insights into the practices and beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses and other high-control groups, including the government investigation's expected revelations.Don't miss this opportunity to hear Anusha Bradley and other experts at the Decult Cult Awareness Conference in Christchurch, New Zealand!

This episode was originally published in April 2023.It would be wildly inappropriate for me to have favourites when it comes to my podcast guests - I love them all! - but Chloe Madeley is what dream podcast guests are made of: self-aware, articulate and ready to tell their story.As ever, we start with risk, and how Chloe made the choice to step back from the world of media to pursue personal training after one weightlifting session, quite literally, changed her life, her mental and physical health.We discuss so much more from self-worth, being the target of the media glare, growing up with famous parents and why she believes so passionately that comments sections should be banned.Chloe's books are available now and The EC Method is currently open for enrollment.

In Part 6 of "The Path Is Made By Walking, Ronnie quotes Janet Hagberg, words that serve as proper commentary to the Emmaus Road experience of Luke 24: “Now we surrender to God's will, but with our eyes wide open…for we have been changed. We sense a looser grip on ourselves and all we have believed, because our confidence is in God - not what we think about God. Our primary motivation in life becomes the desire to love and to live honestly. We acquire an inner peace and calmness because we grow into the full awareness that God truly loves us. We learn how to go about our lives with patience and freshness, a vitality that can only come from God. There is no striving, just evolving. The healing experience is so personal and so profound, we may find it difficult to express.” How do we get this? Persistence. Muddling through. Surrender. Being melted down and re-formed. Anger. Tears. Shaking your fist or the middle finger at heaven. Kicking and screaming on the floor. Trying out atheism for a while. Shunning anything religious, spiritual, prayerful, or anything like you knew in the past. But if you are a person with a bent toward faith - if you are a person who discovers that the eternity planted in your heart cannot be ignored - you will begin to poke around in the ashes for the bones. You will begin to put the pieces back together, and maybe - just maybe - you will have an Emmaus experience: “Suddenly, their eyes were opened, and they recognized him…They said to each other, 'Didn't our hearts burn within us as he talked with us on the road.” 

We are marching toward the end of Paul's letter to Titus and in the second to last section, Paul presses deeper into Titus' role as pastor. These four verses have a twofold purpose:  Titus was to challenge God's people to maintain good works and do everything necessary to guard against those things that would prevent them from doing good works. thisministry: 1. Emphasize maintaining good works 2. Avoid foolish talk 3. Reject willing heretics

As Christians living in an evil world, we must always be on guard, striving to protect the Truth from those who seek to steal our joy and distort the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Disgraced former President Donald Trump again said on Wednesday that if he returns to the White House, he would not defend NATO members that don't meet defense spending targets, days after he set off alarms in Europe by suggesting he would tell Russia to attack NATO allies he considered delinquent. Speaking at a campaign rally in South Carolina, he retold the story of his alleged conversation with the head of a NATO member country that had not met its obligations. This time, though, he left out the line that drew the most outrage — encouraging Russia “to do whatever the hell they want.” Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkbwLFZhawBqK2b9gW08z3g/join Five Minute News with Anthony Davis is an Evergreen Podcast, covering politics, inequality, health and climate - delivering independent, unbiased and essential news for the US and across the world.

I've always stood for the truth that freedom in Christ isn't a far-fetched dream—it's our reality, and today, we're peeling back the layers of complacency to reveal the vibrancy of a life lived in full faith.

No ads, no fluff—just the pure, unadulterated message that has the power to challenge the mediocrity often found in our spiritual walks.Join me, Alexander Stone, as we unpack the profound implications of Galatians 5:1, dissecting the Apostle Paul's admonition about the uselessness of law-based righteousness and the fullness of grace-based salvation. This episode is not just another sermon; it's a clarion call to resist the shackles of 'doing enough' and instead, step boldly into the abundant life promised by Jesus—a life beyond the mediocre, a life that reflects the victory of the cross.

If reading the gospel or reading the Fathers speak to us about walking the path of humility does not turn our life upside down, does not agitate the mind and the heart; and indeed, at times bring us to the place of atheism or the edge of sanity, then it is hard to imagine that it is Christianity that we are considering. We've grown so used to a evaluating what it is to be a human being and to live one's life, the nature of self-esteem and self image, outside the context of the gospel that there is no longer anything recognizable as Christian.  Can we even answer the question, “What does it mean to be a Christian?“ Does the anthropology, psychology and spirituality of the desert Fathers find any place within our hearts or our vision of our life in this world?  We see the Fathers willing to go to the depths of earthly hell in their pursuit of humility in order to be raised up to the heights of heaven. They came to understand that when one reaches for heaven by pride, one falls into the depths of Hell. This was not notional for them but real. Is our faith more than an idea? One of the reasons the fathers seem to so freely take this path of foolishness and absurdity is that they began to taste the freedom and the joy of the kingdom that comes through it. Where else do we find identity and dignity that cannot be taken away from us except with and in Christ? --- Text of chat during the group:   00:12:10 Michael Hinckley: FR.

Learn How to Let Go!Have you ever shunned someone or been a part of a group that has, or have you ever been shunned by another?If you are like many of us, you've likley been shunned as a child or in social situations, perhaps at work or groups, or, maybe no one would ever choose you to be on a Red Rover Team as a child.You remember how that made you feel, right?It's a very low vibe! It doesn't feel good at all!But what if you repressed and suppressed how you felt when shunned?Let me tell ya, it's going to show up again in some way shape, or form, and today that's the topic of this episode of 1001 Ways of Being to Let Go of called:Exploring the Energy of Shunning & Overcoming the Feeling of Being ShunnedSo let's get started with today's 1001 Ways of Being to Let Go of and that is to be one that shuns others and the trapped emotions of feeling shunned that may and likely still reside in your energy fields.According to ConsciousnessCalibrations.com, the energy of shunning is 30 on the Map of Consciousness.Super-low punishing energy field.And here's how the Encyclopedia Britannica online defines shunning:It's a social control mechanism used most commonly in small, tight-knit social groups to punish those who violate the most serious group rules. It is related to exile and banishment, although shunning is based on social rather than physical isolation or separation.In social groups where a person's social identity and well-being are closely tied to regular interaction with other group members, shunning can be a very emotionally painful and effective punishment for those who violate group rules.So if you have the energy of shunning or punishing others or being shunned or punished by others...it's not your fault, because we are just coming into the awareness of how these things can get stuck in our energy fields or inherited. Now you may be aware of these things. in your background feelings or thoughts.This type of surprising and hidden and trapped emotions can be discovered through The Body Code and The Belief Code work.In any event, here are some other things that are swimming in this shark-infested pool of lower consciousness:Explore Qi Medicine for Harmonizing the “Heart-Mind” 12/5Communicate Soul-to-Soul With the Spirit World 12/6Learn Quantum Intention to Manifest Your Desires 12/12Discover How to Let Go Take my consciously curated email journey into "How to Let Go"Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

The founding story–which I've heard before–moved me to tears–again.You know those moments when your whole life is about to change? Only you don't know it yet. This was most definitely one of those moments. I had been in Kenya, where I was learning to work with a family foundation and helping the community there in Kenya in a remote area to have more self-sustaining, suitable solutions.We were invited to visit the slums of Kibera. While we were there, we were invited to see an orphanage nearby. At first, I was hesitant, but of course, I believe in saying yes. The children captured my heart. What I didn't know was that although I brought sustainable solutions there as well, post-election violence would create a terrible upheaval where half a million people were displaced. So, this orphanage went from 420 to a reported 1,400 kids, and we were doing everything we could to assist, but it was not enough. Then I got the call that they were completely out of food and had been for days. I happened to be someone who has experienced childhood hunger that included going without food for days. I knew what that felt like. I wanted to address that, but we had done everything we could, and we were returning in just three and a half weeks. So, fast forward–waking up at 2:30 in the morning after pleading for some kind of solution to come to mind to raise the money they needed.I woke up with it going through my mind. “Have you asked what the girls are doing for feminine hygiene?” I literally gasped because I hadn't thought to ask that. I ran to the computer and got an immediate, unexpected answer–they didn't have smartphones everywhere back then–and the answer was only this, “Nothing.” They wait in their rooms, it turned out, Devin. They were sitting on pieces of cardboard for days. No access to education, no access to even taking care of themselves. I wanted to change that. What I didn't know was that they were going to teach me.Just a few weeks later, thanks to amazing volunteers, we were able to bring washable pads that we devised because I knew that if a family chooses between food and hygiene, food wins and should. So, how do we give them something they could count on month after month? We brought these washable pads, which needed innovation. They weren't ideal then, and I could say that–I designed them. When we brought the education that went with it, which was a stretch for me at the time, they came up afterward and, with big smiles and hugs holding their kits, said, “Thank you so much because before you came, we had to let them use us if we wanted to leave the room and go to class.”I was hoping that didn't mean what I feared it meant, but it turned out they were being exploited in exchange for a single disposable pad. That was the moment Days for Girls was born.Shunning credit, Celeste sees the success of Days for Girls as “evidence of the power of we. It's like the New York, New York of movements. If you can do this with periods, you can do it with anything.”Her new book, The Power of Days, recounts the story of the nonprofit's incredible journey to global impact. Just 15 years ago, the discussion of menstruation was so taboo that after being invited to speak at events, organizers sometimes learned of Celeste's topic and canceled the invitations. A woman's organization that provided financial support backed out of the relationship to avoid being associated with periods.“It was remarkable,” she says. “It just seems absurd now.” Today, it is commonplace to talk about feminine hygiene, even in what we have discretely called “mixed company.”Celeste describes her superpower as gratitude. She notes that it is vital to building a successful team. The success of her team is undeniable.AI Episode Summary* Celeste Mergens founded the nonprofit organization Days for Girls 15 years ago to address the lack of access to feminine hygiene products and education in impoverished regions.* The organization has reached over 3 million women and girls in 145 countries through the efforts of volunteers and local leaders.* Celeste's new book, The Power of Days, tells the story of how Days for Girls started and highlights the power of gratitude and listening in creating positive change.* Gratitude is Celeste's superpower, enabling her to see the good in the world and overcome challenges.* She believes that focusing on what unites us rather than our differences can foster collaboration and create positive impact.* Celeste shares an example of how she used inclusive dialogue to engage with female genital cutters in Kenya and successfully reduce the prevalence of the practice.* She emphasizes the importance of recognizing that circumstances do not define us and that we have the power to make new choices.* Celebrating achievements and expressing gratitude as a team can energize and motivate people to tackle new challenges.* Celeste believes that gratitude and a focus on what's possible can help address current issues and bring about positive change in the world.* She encourages readers to embrace gratitude and inclusive conversations to make the impossible possible and create a more united and compassionate society.How to Develop Gratitude As a SuperpowerCeleste makes the case for gratitude being a superpower, noting, “By having gratitude, you can overcome trauma easily. You can see new viewpoints. It really is a superpower.”Her experience as a child helped her develop gratitude as an adult. “Honestly, it derives in part from having been raised in poverty. I'm grateful for things most people wouldn't be grateful for because of what I went through.”Vitally, Celeste explains the impact of gratitude on teams:It also helps teams work better. So if you are working with A-type, like go-achieve team members, we tend to focus on next, next, next. When we finish something, put a beautiful checkmark. If you stop just long enough to go, “We just took that mountain. We were after it. Let's stop for a minute. We did that. That goal was accomplished, everybody. Yes, we did it. Thank you.” If you do that, then you have the energy to charge over to the next mountain.Her gratitude helps her to see beyond the present. “I recognize that we are not our circumstances. Not at all. We are not what we own or don't own. We are not what people label us. We are the choices we make. And even those don't define us because we can make new choices. I know that with my entire being.”She offers additional advice for changemakers. “As we work together in our world, it shouldn't, in my opinion, be about what's different, what differences we have, or even how awful it is right now, whatever that fill-in-the-blank is, but rather what's possible. What would we love? Who in the world would also love that? Look for where we come together.”Using this principle, she worked with the cutters in Kenya who were performing female genital mutilation (she avoids that phrase so as not to insult her new friends in that community) to reduce the practice.She recognized the cultural significance of the practice. She helped the practitioners see all the related traditions regarding rights of passage to womanhood that they also led and encouraged them to keep those that didn't harm the girls.After the meeting, several immediately agreed to stop, acknowledging that cutting negatively impacted intimate relationships within marriage, such that men were more likely to cheat and bring home HIV. They were seeing this happen.By following Celeste's example and advice, you can expand your gratitude. With deliberate effort, you can make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Guest ProfileCeleste Mergens (she/her):Founder and former CEO, Days for Girls InternationalAbout Days for Girls International: Days for Girls, a global award-winning organization championing Women's Health and Menstrual Health Equity, working toward a day when periods are never a problem for anyone.

There has been extreme weather events and she has swarms of birds chasing her, so several of the biblical plagues are already affecting this poor woman. We talk about how dumb people are and airlines are even dumber. We discuss the Hollywood auction that is making us want to save our pennies or start a GoFundMe. We learn why men are fickle about the size of women they date. We celebrate the four children who survived forty days in the jungle, but worry that the worst is still ahead for these amazing siblings. Sarah explains why her dreams have been disappointing lately, and she is trying to become a kid again, at least while she sleeps.Join our book club, shop our merch, sign-up for our free newsletter, & more by visiting The Brain Candy Podcast website: https://www.thebraincandypodcast.comConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSponsors:Get $30 off the first box - PLUS free Croissants in every box - when you go to https://wildgrain.com/braincandy to start your subscription!Sign up for a Chime Checking Account today to link your paycheck.
