We're told from every angle—school, work, even church—that our worth depends on how we perform. But this Reformation Sunday, we remember the truth that set the Church free: you are saved not by performance, but by grace. As we celebrate 175 years of God's grace in the WELS, we're not bragging on ourselves—we're boasting in Christ alone.Support the show~ Changing lives with Jesus!

We all crave happiness—but what kind? The kind that fades the moment life gets hard? Or the kind that endures even in pain? This week, God challenges the popular belief that his highest goal is our short-term comfort. In Hebrews 11, we see an example of someone who could have chosen comfort, ease, and status—but instead chose something better. Through this, God shows us that true happiness isn't found in chasing pleasure, but in walking with him toward something eternal.Support the show~ Changing lives with Jesus!

That Sin Can't Be Forgiven (?) | Satan's Sleight of HandOne of Satan's most damaging lies is this: “God could never forgive that.” In this message from our series Satan's Sleight of Hand, we look at how guilt, shame, and self-condemnation can trap us in hopelessness.This weekend, guest preacher Missionary Zach Satorius opens up the tragic story of Judas Iscariot—a man who walked with Jesus but believed the lie that his sin was too great to be forgiven. His story shows us the danger of unresolved guilt and the desperate need we all have for self-forgiveness rooted in Christ's mercy.Support the showMoved to give? http://dschurch.link/givedoralFor more info about our church please visit our website: https://divinesaviorchurch.com/dscdor/

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty and guest Doug O'Brien—master storyteller, hypnotherapist, bestselling author, and NLP trainer—break down how our inner narratives drive mental and emotional health. Doug explains the structure of beliefs (cause → effect → meaning), how NLP, hypnosis, and Havening Techniques interrupt limiting patterns, and why rapid change is possible when we learn to reframe, reprogram, and retell our story. Practical tools include morning questions, state management, and belief reframes (Sleight of Mouth). About the guest : Doug O'Brien is a hypnotherapist, international NLP trainer, and author of The User's Guide to Storytelling and The User's Guide to Sleight of Mouth. He teaches practical neuro-linguistic methods, hypnosis, and Havening to help people shift beliefs and behavior effectively. Key takeaways: Your story shapes your state. We live inside inner representations; narratives can be chains or catalysts for change. Beliefs have structure. Most beliefs follow cause → effect → meaning; change the linkage and you change the belief. Name it to change it. First step: realize “it's a story,” not absolute reality—then author a better one. NLP is a user manual for the brain. Understand your “neuro-linguistics,” and you can reprogram patterns toward desired outcomes. Morning Questions reset focus. Ask: What am I happy/excited/grateful for? Why? How does it feel? Attention directs state; state drives behavior. Havening for trauma. As a psychosensory method, Havening supports safety and can facilitate rapid, lasting change for encoded traumatic responses. Self-work vs. professional help. Many shifts are DIY; for legitimate trauma, work with trained practitioners. Evidence through examples. Compare yourself to role models who share your traits; swap limiting labels for empowering identities. Rapid change is possible. Challenge the story that “change takes years.” With the right tool and readiness, breakthroughs can be immediate. Storytelling persuades. Whether with kids, teams, or audiences, clear stories engage imagination and drive behavior.

Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday, September 10, 2025, at approximately 12:23 p.m. Mountain Time, while speaking at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. He was in the middle of a live event for his “American Comeback Tour,” engaging in a public Q&A session under a tent labeled “Prove Me Wrong.” Just moments after responding to a student’s question, a single shot was fired from a rooftop roughly 200 yards away, striking him in the neck. Today on Like It Matters Radio Mr. Black wants us to be mindful that planes crash, and people die- it is a fact of life. None of us know the date of our last breath, unless we take our lives. So naturally, the way we live is the way we will die- and be remembered! As we live a self-examined life the question must be What are you LIVING FOR? And the secondary question is, what is it worth dying for? On today’s hour of Power Mr. Black will not only talk about Charlie but about life. Mr. Black will introduce; Mass Formation, The Tytler Cycle, Sleight of Narrative, Common Sense and 2 great books; Edward Gibbon’s The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire and Carl Wilson’s, Our Dance has turned to Death.

Your Faith Is Just Between You and God | Satan's Sleight of HandHave you ever heard someone say, “My faith is just between me and God”? It might sound spiritual—but it's actually one of Satan's most subtle lies. In this powerful message from our series Satan's Sleight of Hand, Pastor Ben Kuerth unpacks the truth from Ephesians 2:19–22, showing how God never meant for us to follow Jesus in isolation.You were made for more than private faith—you were made for belonging. Through Christ, God gathers us, builds us, and holds us together as His Church. Discover the eternal purpose of being part of the body of Christ and why authentic Christian community is essential for your spiritual growth.Whether you're feeling disconnected, longing for deeper connection, or simply curious about what the Bible says about community—this message is for you.Support the showMoved to give? http://dschurch.link/givedoralFor more info about our church please visit our website: https://divinesaviorchurch.com/dscdor/
“If your marriage isn't happy, you should leave.” It sounds reasonable—even compassionate. But Jesus speaks a better word. In Matthew 19, he challenges not just our decisions, but the lies we believe about happiness, commitment, and love. This week, we'll wrestle with what God permits in a broken world, what he commands for our good, and what Jesus himself vows to us—an unbreakable covenant love that stays. Whether you're married, single, divorced, or hurting, Jesus meets you with truth that heals and grace that holds.Support the show~ Changing lives with Jesus! Facebook | YouTubeInstagram @dscsienna

Most philosophers and religious leaders throughout history have suggested that contentment is the secret to happiness. And yet, modern research also seems to suggest that $34k/year income is a threshold, and $75k/year is another income threshold for happiness. So which is it? Can we be content without X amount of dollars? Should we be content where we're at and never pursue more money? What can we do with the money we have that will bring greatest joy?Support the show~ Changing lives with Jesus! Facebook | YouTubeInstagram @dscsienna

Researcher Robert Bellah wrote in Habits of the Heart that 81% of Americans believe that you should come to religious conclusions APART from any religious organization. In other words, the majority of people believe you don't find God in community. They think you find God on your own. The reality is that Americans today, including many Christians, have reported that they've never been lonelier. Gen Z 18-22 year-olds are the loneliest, followed by Millennials. Why? Because we're trying to do life and faith on our own terms, not cemented into Church community.Support the show~ Changing lives with Jesus! Facebook | YouTubeInstagram @dscsienna

Here's a question I can't stop thinking about: Is “sense of purpose” the true secret ingredient that makes occupational therapy unique and effective? I ran a survey of my OT peers earlier this year, and I was shocked that 17% of respondents selected “sense of purpose” as the main treatment area they address—second only to “daily activities,” which is what I traditionally think of as our bread and butter. This tells me that, on the ground, a surprising number of therapists see “addressing sense of purpose” as their most effective intervention. The article we are looking at today reveals why sense of purpose may be such a profound lever to pull. (Hint: It is associated with many health benefits!) After we review the article, we are excited to welcome to the podcast one of occupational therapy's leading thinkers about our role in sense of purpose: Dr. Alix Sleight. Together, we'll unpack the science behind sense of purpose—and the small and large ways you can address it in your OT sessions.

Commissioner Vicki Reed joins Dr. Sandie Morgan to discuss the intersection of juvenile justice and child welfare, highlighting the importance of collaboration, care, and community in supporting vulnerable youth and preventing their exploitation. Vicki Reed Vicki Reed has dedicated her career to child welfare and juvenile justice, with over two decades of experience working with system-involved youth. She holds a degree in law enforcement and a master's in criminal justice, and has been a strong advocate for vulnerable children in both public and private sectors. Vicki has served as a juvenile probation officer, the director of a youth-serving agency, and has helped shape state-level training for child welfare workers in Kentucky. Beyond her advocacy and service as Juvenile Justice Commissioner of Kentucky, she is also an accomplished author. In her previous appearance on this podcast (episode 246), Vicki discussed her novel The Car Thief. In this episode, she shares insights from her latest novel, Sleight of Hand, which also draws from her extensive experience working with youth. Key Points Vicki Reed shares how an unexpected opportunity and sense of calling led her to come out of retirement to serve as Kentucky's Juvenile Justice Commissioner. She emphasizes the critical difference between juvenile justice and adult corrections, noting that punitive approaches fail with youth and that rehabilitation, mental health support, education, and pro-social activities are far more effective. The high cost of long-term incarceration underscores the need for early intervention and supportive programming for at-risk youth. Reed discusses how negative placement experiences in foster care can reinforce harmful behaviors, while positive, stable placements with appropriate support can change life trajectories. Her novels, The Car Thief and Sleight of Hand, serve as creative tools to educate readers about the juvenile justice and child welfare systems, illustrating how caring adults make a significant difference in a young person's life. The character of Alex in Sleight of Hand, who experiences 64 placements, highlights the systemic issues facing youth in foster care and the importance of wraparound services. Vicki introduces the concept of “automatic adult responses” and stresses the value of reframing interactions with youth, drawing on insights from expert Charlie Applestein and his approach from No Such Thing as a Bad Kid. Pro-social activities, such as music lessons, art therapy, or simple childhood experiences like flying a kite, play a key role in building competencies and self-worth for vulnerable youth. Collaboration across systems—child welfare, juvenile justice, and mental health—is vital, as these sectors often serve the same youth but in siloed ways. Reed advocates for dual status teams like those in Indiana, which require collaborative planning for youth involved in both child welfare and juvenile justice systems. Children in congregate care (group homes or residential placements) are at higher risk for exploitation, making family-based care the preferred model whenever possible. Reed calls for greater community engagement, suggesting ways individuals can support youth through fostering, volunteering as court advocates (CASA), or contributing to foster care organizations.

Edition No78 | 09-01-2025 - Musk and Trump are shaking things up, and the inauguration of Trump 2.0 has not even begun. The four years following Trump's election in 2016 felt like drinking from a fire hydrant of toxic nonsense. Somehow, though, the madness was largely contained to US domestic issues and pollution of the informational sphere – Trump did not instigate any major wars. It's quite possible Putin delayed launching a full-scale war in Ukraine because Trump was in office and then COVID kicked in. But now, it seems the gloves of insanity are well and truly off. ---------- At relatively short notice, we're organising two events in Ukraine in the last week of January. Lviv (part 2) and Kyiv. The event we ran in August 2023 was a huge success, and had a great impact. Now our aim is even more ambitious. Two cities. Two events. Multiple panels consisting of the best experts, and all filmed in high definition for the channel. https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras But it costs. Last time the overall cost was £3,500 for Live in Lviv, and we covered 80% of this through ticket sales. This time the costs are higher, and there's less opportunity to sell tickets at the available venues and studios, so I'm creating a campaign to raise £5,000 to make this trip a reality. We also have a much more ambitious programme to film interviews around Kyiv and Lviv for the channel. This project will have an impact, so please help if you can. https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras ---------- SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISER A project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's frontline towns. https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras ---------- Reach for the impossible and get something for nothing - Moscow rules. Negotiation rather than hot war. Fear bargaining. People under pressure tend to make mistakes and default to appeasement of a bully - Again, a negotiating tactic designed to get more than you would otherwise. - Also force people to pick sides, alliances, impose exclusivity. Smoke and mirrors. Sleight of hand. - Musk – the same role played by Steele report and Guiliani in Trump 1.0. - Is Musk just saying mad things or being briefed and encourages by Trump circle. - Is he just tolerated, or are they extending his leash, goading him to do this? - Because it suits their purposes. Again, it's the ‘insanity' strategy that has worked so well for Putin, forcing western powers to self-deter. And even to snooze. He's mad and is going to do it. - Accelerate the world to Vladimir Putin conception of geopolitics. - A dog-eat-dog world, or competition between sovereign imperial blocks. - All other countries are resources, assets, pawns, but do not have agency. Buckle up. Trump has had time to prepare for his 2.0 administration, and its going to be a bumpy ride. This is WWIII if we are lucky, which may have a finite beginning and end. If we're unlucky this is the new global disorder, and it will become a permanent feature of life. ---------- NEWS SOURCES: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robin-horsfall-52243220/ ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ----------

Hey bud, listen up. Your D&D edition is going through some changes. Changes can be scary! But changes can also be good for us. The Ranger? No, not for the Ranger, but good for other better classes. Look, changes are how we grow. You can use Sleight of Hand to pick a lock now? Maybe! We don't actually know. In conclusion, Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition, 2nd Edition (Revised 2024) is a land of contrasts. There is a lot here that's cool (like the new cantrips) but there's also a lot here that's confusing as hell. Regardless, DMs Rob and Matt are here to guide you through some of the new mechanics, numbers, and changes in the new Player's Handbook. Shout out to the T.E. "RPGBOT" Kamstra for cataloguing the changes from the 2014 to the 2024 Player's Handbook: https://rpgbot.net/dnd-2024-5e-transition-guide-and-change-log-everything-thats-different-in-the-new-players-handbook/ https://www.patreon.com/DungeonMasterOfNone Join the DMofNone Discord!

On today's episode, we explore characters in film who are consumed by the pursuit of greatness at any cost. We delve into modern hits such as Whiplash, Black Swan, and The Prestige, while also revisiting classics like Sunset Boulevard, Amadeus, and Basquiat. Our discussion centers on Hollywood's fascination with extreme ambition, the toll it takes on these characters' personal lives and mental health, and how these stories shape the public's view of the "tortured genius." We also compare fictional narratives like Sleight with the portrayal of real-life figures in films like I, Tonya. To wrap up, we tackle the concept of legacy in a digital world. Is the constant, ever-changing news cycle undermining the idea of lasting greatness? With every new viral trend and Hawk Tuah Girl, how long do we truly celebrate exceptional achievements before shifting our focus elsewhere?

Is that a Magic Wand in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me? Cuddle Party Facilitator and Intimacy Coach Scoby Goo feels like an outsider until she stumbles upon our little storytelling show, and its inclusive atmosphere changes everything for her. Obsessed, Scoby follows Bawdy from city to city, and becomes captivated with a Seattle magician and their tantalizing true tale of an orgy at a Magician's Conference. And Before you can say ‘Fortune favors the Brave', Scoby volunteers for their own kind of Hocus Pocus - and Abracadabra, Bawdy Gets You Laid! About our Storyteller: Scoby Goo dove into the worlds of kink and polyamory after attending a Bawdy Storytelling way back in 2014, following the show from San Francisco to LA to Seattle and then Chicago (and later, got onstage to share the stories created!). She now hosts communication and consent workshops, also known as Cuddle Parties, as a certified facilitator. While she can make kombucha (like her namesake: the Symbiotic Colony Of Bacteria and Yeast), she's more of an emotional fermentation process starter and she also offers intimacy coaching.
