For a generation who felt like outsiders in the late 2000s, the emo scene felt like the one place where they could belong—and make sense of the chaos inside, as their favorite artists began to express the pain they held within their hearts: As Bert McCracken of The Used once said, “Music is church, therapy, and philosophy all wrapped up into one.” And that's exactly what this scene became. From the explosive confessions of “Take It Away” to Panic! at the Disco pacing the church aisles in “I Write Sins Not Tragedies,” from Hayley Williams of Paramore shouting “The truth never set me free—so I'll do it myself” to My Chemical Romance singing revenge, resurrection, and spiritual crisis across Three Cheers—emo wasn't afraid to rip open the human heart and let everything spill out. But what was quickly learned was that many who saw this as therapy could also take it to a place of no return. After 13-year-old Hannah Bond chose to delete herself, emo became Public Enemy Number 1. In 2008, the Daily Mail fired the headline heard around the globe: “Why No Child Is Safe from the Sinister Cult of Emo.” Suddenly, a culture built for struggling youth was being shown as something dark and dangerous, with fans of the genre fighting against the current of their day attempting to drift people away from the emotional music of the generation. But now it's 2025; those late-2000s outsiders have grown up—and emo is rising again. My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Taking Back Sunday, Jimmy Eat World—the bands who shaped a generation are continuing to play shows, and their fans are right back in their black eyeliner and emotional armor. What was emo really preaching? Because these weren't just break-up anthems—they were songs about identity, guilt, rebellion, spiritual confusion, and the longing for something beyond the pain. What we want to look at is the controversy, the comeback, and the worldview behind the music that became a church, therapy, and philosophy for millions.   Follow Good Fight Ministries on: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/goodfightministries  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodfightministries  Twitter/X: https://www.twitter.com/goodfightmin  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@goodfightministries  Support Us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/goodfight

Strap in, because Sparky's ride from the C-17 to the B-2 is basically the aviation version of “What could possibly go wrong?” — except when everything did go wrong, and somehow nobody died. We open with Sparky nearly spearing aPassenger Airliner 737 at FL280 when the T-38's pitot-static system decided to take the day off. That set the tone. Next, he walks us through dropping flares directly onto a detainee camp in Kandahar (oops), landing a 585,000-pound C-17 on a 3,000-foot dirt strip, and descending at 25,000 feet per minute because… why not? Then we move to the B-2, where one of the highlights is pressing one button and starting all four engines at once, like a nuclear-hardened Nespresso machine. Sparky's stories swing from hilarious to jaw-dropping, and many would make an FAA inspector faint. It's chaos, comedy, combat aviation, and classic So There I Was—all wrapped into two monster episodes… This week and next we are honored to welcome our first B-2 Spirit Pilot

A new board of peace is being put together that will team up world leaders from around the globe and will be chaired by the one and only Donald J. Trump. The board will feature rulers from places like China, Russia, Pakistan, Guyana and elsewhere, and the gathered support from countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. But any time a major world leader starts talking about peace in the Middle East, believers should perk up their ears because Scripture is crystal clear, there will come a false sense of peace in the last days, a peace that paves the way for sudden destruction. God's Word warns us that a future world leader will, quote, "confirm a covenant with many" and bring a deceptive peace that sets the stage for the Great Tribulation. And while the geopolitical world is starting to sound like the script of end times prophecy, and nations are crying, "peace and security", and global leaders are pushing deals that reshape Jerusalem's future, this is precisely the time we need to be awake, discerning, and anchored in Scripture.

A disturbing trend—as old as the Garden of Eden—keeps popping up across the theological spectrum. Different groups, different doctrines, but all echoing the same dangerous idea: “You can't really understand the Bible unless you go through us.” Whether it's Nick Fuentes saying we'd be better off without the Bible so that clerics can tell us what to do, or Jay Dyer scoffing at a believer for simply encouraging people to read Scripture, insisting the Bible wasn't truly meant for personal devotion, or the long-standing claims of Jehovah's Witnesses, Muslims, Mormons, and countless other groups who insist that you need them—their prophets, their organization, their extra books, their leaders—to unlock “the real meaning” of God's Word.All of it points to a single, chilling theme: there has always been a battle to keep the Bible out of your hands and to convince you that you can't trust God's Word without someone else controlling it. From the Garden of Eden to the medieval era, from cults to internet influencers, the pattern never changes—take away the Word of God, or take away your confidence in reading it, and you take away the very authority that exposes deception. What we want to look at are these claims—both ancient and modern—that all push the same question: “Hath God said?” And on today's episode, we take captive every attempt to dog-leash the Bible and pull it out of your hands, because this is not just bad theology—it's spiritual warfare.   Follow Good Fight Ministries on: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/goodfightministries  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodfightministries  Twitter/X: https://www.twitter.com/goodfightmin  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@goodfightministries  Support Us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/goodfight  We're on Rumble! https://rumble.com/GoodFightMinistries  The Submerging Church https://www.goodfight.org/product/the-submerging-church/  Marvel & DC's War on God: Stan Lee, God, and the Devil https://www.goodfight.org/product/stan-lee-god-and-the-devil/

Rich Tidwell, the pastor of Ormand Church in Canton, Missouri, recently made some explosive claims he took to social media with a shocking announcement that he has a second wife and that he believes the Bible supports the practice of polygyny, the idea that a man may have multiple wives. Naturally, this has raised some serious questions. Is there any biblical basis for what he's teaching? Does Scripture actually permit this practice, or are we watching yet another example of a self-proclaimed teacher twisting God's Word to justify the desires of his flesh?

Big John and Sparky xx-xx-xx (02) The Beginning Of The Long Voyage Home

Continuing Old Spook Lane Creepy Chats' theme of spooky stop motion animated films, Arun and Patricia discuss about the 2012 Disney animated film Frankenweenie co-written and directed by Tim Burton. Based on the 1984 short film of the same name, a young boy named Victor Frankenstein is devastated that his best friend, a dog named Sparky, was killed by a car. When learning about electrical impulses from science class, Victor decides to conduct an experiment bringing Sparky back from the dead. While succeeding, he has to keep it hidden from his family, neighbors, and classmates. But it won't be easy, especially one classmate who wishes to use the same tactic to raise his pet fish from the dead to win the school science fair.When the film premiered in theaters, it made $81 million dollars out of a $31 million dollar budget receiving decent reviews from critics and fans, but has since been forgotten due to other animated films like Wreck-it-Ralph and Paranorman being released in the same year. What did Arun and Patricia think of the film?

Birder, author, and podcaster Sparky Stensaas discusses his recent birding adventures and what's on tap for the Sax-sim Bog this winter.

In a stunning move that's sending shockwaves through the Roman Catholic world, The Vatican has officially announced that the titles, Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix will no longer be used to describe Mary, the mother of Jesus. This declaration, made by Pope Leo the 14th has ignited fierce backlash among Catholics worldwide. Many are calling the decision a betrayal of long held Marian devotion, others are defending the Pope urging obedience to who they call the, quote "Holy Father", insisting that the church must follow his guidance, even when it challenges centuries of tradition. But this controversy raises deeper questions. Who truly holds the authority to define doctrine? Is it the Word of God or the words of men? And what does this shift say about the growing divide within the Catholic Church itself?

One of the most unusual moments in right wing media this year came when Tucker Carlson sat down with Nick Fuentes. The conversation is being called by some "a bold exchange of ideas" and by others, "a troubling sign of where the movement may be headed." After Fuentes recent debate with Dinesh D'Souza and now his appearance with Tucker, the Overton Window seems to be shifting rapidly within conservative circles.Topics that were once off limits are suddenly back on the table, and many are wondering if this marks a line in the sand, a moment where people must decide whether these ideas represent the future of the conservative movement, or a dangerous departure from it.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have back on the show for another incredible joint episode: MK ULTRA, ritual abuse and organized abuse survivors, overcomers, thrivers, and badasses, survivor and anti-child trafficking advocates, public whistleblowers, podcasters, and two of my favorite humans and friends in the entire world: Dr. Juliette Engel and Lynne Scott HaggermanIn the shadowy underbelly of America's Cold War secrets, where the CIA's MK ULTRA programs twisted innocence into instruments of control, two women emerged not as broken relics, but as fierce beacons of redemption. Dr. Juliette Engel and Lynne Scott Haggerman - survivors of unimaginable horrors.Sold at six into MK ULTRA's MONARCH program, Juliette endured years of trauma, her psyche fractured into alters like Sparky, the inner warrior plotting escape that she writes about in here memoir. At sixteen, she fled, funding her way through medical school to become a radiologist. And in 1999, Moscow's trafficking crisis reignited her fight. Selling her practice, she founded the Angel Coalition, rescuing thousands through underground railroads and training networks like the Babushka Brigade. Her memoirs, Sparky: Surviving Sex Magick and Angels Over Moscow, expose CIA atrocities and inspire liberation.Trafficked into MK ULTRA's underground labs as a child, Lynne faced electroshock, adrenochrome harvesting, and underground Satanic rituals and programming. Her spirit unbroken, she protected others in those dark tunnels - showcasing the same big heart for protecting others that she has today. Now an award-winning HR consultant and marathoner, Lynne's faith-driven Q-GRIT framework heals survivors through somatic techniques, spiritual warfare, holistic products, and community collaboration, turning trauma into triumph.What binds Juliette and Lynne isn't just the MK ULTRA experiences seared into their histories - it's the transformation they share: turning personal hells into collective heavens. Both women, programmed as children for exploitation, now dismantle the very networks that enslaved them. Juliette's global rescues mirror Lynne's intimate healings; and together, they've exposed the tunnels and rituals, and the universities and cults that fed the beast. Their commonalities shine brightest in their solution-craft: a refusal to let pain prescribe passivity. Juliette's underground railroads and training hubs echo Lynne's Q-GRIT protocols - both emphasize empowerment over victimhood, weaving networks of unlikely allies (like babushkas, believers, and broken-but-bold souls) into unbreakable shields.In joint appearances, like the last podcast we did together as a group, they map the intersections: how MK ULTRA's trauma blueprints fuel modern trafficking empires, and how faith-fueled innovation - Juliette's empathetic raids, Lynne's somatic-spiritual resets - disarms them. They advocate not for vengeance, but for vigilance: policy reforms to unearth hidden atrocities, holistic therapies to mend mind-control survivors, and hope, healing, and solutions for survivors and those that help them.CONNECT TO LYNNE: Website: https://qgrit.org/YouTube: @LynneScottHaggerman  Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/TheLynneScottHaggermanShow?e9s=src_v1_saX: https://x.com/haggerman91741CONNECT WITH JULIETTE: Website: https://julietteengel.com/CONNECT WITH EMMA / THE IMAGINATION: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialRumble: https://rumble.com/c/TheImaginationPodcastEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR stanSupport the show

A controversy has been stirring in the Christian music world after Forrest Frank announced that he felt convicted by the Lord not to attend the Dove Awards, an event many see as the Grammys of Christian music. His decision sparked quite a reaction, especially from country star Jelly Roll who seemed to take unction to Frank's conviction. And while Jelly Roll delivered an emotional, faith filled speech at the Dove Awards, a different version of him showed up just a few days later in front of Michigan football fans, this appearance raises serious questions about his authenticity and public faith. Today, we'll take a closer look at what's happening across the contemporary Christian music scene, with Maverick City Music marred in a lawsuit from former members and the former Newsboys frontman Michael Tait having tapes released of his apology to people he took advantage of, leaving many wondering what is going on in the CCM world and has it always been rife with hypocrisy, lies and wickedness?   Follow Good Fight Ministries on: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/goodfightministries Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodfightministries Twitter/X: https://www.twitter.com/goodfightmin TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@goodfightministries Support Us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/goodfight   We're on Rumble! https://rumble.com/GoodFightMinistries

Recently, Donald Trump made headlines once again, not simply for politics, but this time, for eternity. When asked whether he believes his recent peace deal in the Middle East will be enough to get him into heaven, Trump said he doesn't believe that he is actually heaven bound. Commentators like Patrick-Bet David disagree, and Trump's son Eric also believes that this peace deal and other actions have proved that God's hand has certainly been upon him, even claiming that Donald Trump has saved both Christianity and even God. As talk of Middle East peace deals and political alliances fill the air, we are reminded that the Bible speaks of another kind of peace, one that will come through deception, led by the Antichrist himself. So we want to take a look at what the Bible says and ask, "How close are we to seeing the kind of peace deal that Scripture warns about?" Or better yet, how close are we to seeing the Antichrist revealed?   Follow Good Fight Ministries on: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/goodfightministries Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodfightministries Twitter/X: https://www.twitter.com/goodfightmin TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@goodfightministries Support Us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/goodfight   We're on Rumble! https://rumble.com/GoodFightMinistries

The Island of Echoing Roars: Part 4 - The Pirate's Rescue!

Sparky? Lulu? What was the story behind your pet's name?

The Good Fight Ministries team had boots on the ground at the Turning Point USA event, where Ray Comfort and the guys from Living Waters used the opportunity to share the gospel with the student body at Cal State Fullerton. We were there in person, saw what took place, and even had the chance to do some interviews with those who attended. We will be telling you what we saw, heard and thought of the event after taking it all in firsthand. Also, Candace Owens recently claimed to have been visited by Charlie Kirk in a dream. A dream, she says confirmed her own beliefs about what happened and that it would all be revealed very soon. Finally, we'll look at the broader reaction from Christians across the country, many of whom are calling what's Happening a revival following Charlie's death, while others are urging caution.

Political cartoonist Tom Tomorrow (a.k.a. Dan Perkins) is back as we celebrate his new Kickstarter project, OUR LONG NATIONAL NIGHTMARE (closing Oct. 30, 2025, so GO SUPPORT THAT), collecting 5+ years of weekly This Modern World cartoons! We talk about how he keeps his sanity (well, tries to), what it was like to look back at the past half-decade week by week, why he decided not to go down a rabbit-hole of extra material for the project, and what it means to have a bookshelf of his strips (and not just pixels on a screen). We get into the importance of his Sparky's List newsletter as the media landscape keeps withering away, his writing process and how the, um, of this administration compels him to build some flexibility each week, and the realization that he's made a major body of work over the past four decades. We also discuss his major life changes since we last recorded, the good and bad of Being Very Online, his love of Martin Cruz Smith's Arkady Renko mystery novels, what makes him a New Yorker, and the impossibly fraught question of what brings him joy.

September 23rd and 24th have come and gone and once again, another date setting prophecy of the rapture has failed. The question is what now? How could we have known in advance that this wasn't going to take place? What do we say to those who were convinced, or even the so-called prophets, who boldly proclaimed that it would happen? Today, we're going to be digging into the scriptures to test the claims that were madeIs this just another misstep, or is it evidence of a deeper problem with the modern day prophecy movements? And most importantly, how do we encourage those in Christ who might have felt a big disappointment and now feel deceived?

Glenn Beck has recently claimed that Joseph Smith was one of the only martyrs ever on United States soil, but before we would accept that title, we need to ask what the evidence really shows. Was Smith truly killed for his faith, or for something far more troubling? Beck's statement isn't just about Mormon history. It may actually signal something bigger. Beck has long positioned himself as a voice for unity and patriotism, but could he also be a key voice in a growing ecumenical movement? One that points people more towards love of country than towards biblical Christianity. These are serious questions worth investigating, and we'll start by looking at the events that led to Joseph Smith's death and the controversy surrounding the Nauvoo Expositor.   Follow Good Fight Ministries on: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/goodfightministries      Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodfightministries      Twitter/X: https://www.twitter.com/goodfightmin      TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@goodfightministries      Support Us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/goodfight    Rock n Roll Sorcerers of the New Age Revolution https://www.goodfight.org/rock-n-roll-sorcerers-free/

Kirk Cameron recently responded to a clip from Senator Ted Cruz's interview with Tucker Carlson, and his comments are stirring quite the controversy. At the heart of it is a question that has divided Christians for centuries. Do God's promises still stand for Israel, or have they somehow shifted to the church? Kirk laid out his views quite clearly. But what does Scripture really say, and why does this debate matter so much for believers today?   Follow Good Fight Ministries on: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/goodfightministries Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodfightministries Twitter/X: https://www.twitter.com/goodfightmin TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@goodfightministries Support Us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/goodfight    We're on Rumble! https://rumble.com/GoodFightMinistries   

Are you a mentor or expected to be one in your clinic? If you're like most neuro clinicians you're taking students and your colleagues are always picking your brain about their neuro patients. This episode was inspired by a Sparky question from Jackie who asked what do I need to do in order to become a good mentor? Hosts Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS and Claire McLean, PT, DPT, NCS brought on Dr. Elise Ruckert, PT, DPT, EdD, NCS to teach us how to be a great mentor. Elise, a self proclaimed “educational pedagogy nerd,” has trained mentors for many years to regional and national audiences. She illuminates the nuanced world of mentorship, emphasizing that it's far more than a one-way transfer of knowledge. Instead, mentorship is a dynamic, bi-directional relationship where both mentor and mentee contribute and learn from each other. She challenges the traditional view of mentoring as simply imparting information, instead framing it as a collaborative journey of professional growth. The discussion explores critical frameworks for effective mentoring, including Bloom's Taxonomy and Donald Schön's reflection types. These approaches help mentors ask more meaningful questions, moving beyond surface-level content to deeper levels of critical thinking and professional development. The discussion also expanded into the topic of interdisciplinary mentorship, with insights into how mentors can effectively work across different healthcare disciplines. The podcast emphasizes that mentorship extends beyond clinical skills, encompassing communication, professional development, and broader contextual understanding.

It's not every day that you hear a Texas lawmaker quote scripture on the Joe Rogan Experience, but you may be surprised to find out that the reason for doing so was actually to justify the termination of little babies. Texas State Representative James Talarico stepped on to one of the world's most influential podcast platforms and did something chilling. He invoked the name of Jesus, twisted the words of Scripture, and wrapped pro-choice rhetoric in religious robes while sipping coffee across from Joe Rogan. Talarico claimed to be a, quote, "pro-choice Christian", someone who believes in the resurrection, and the right to take a life from the child in the womb. He cites Jesus's command to love your neighbor, then applies that to supporting death. This isn't just a class of ideologies, this is a war on truth, a war on Scripture, and a war on the most innocent image bearers of God.

We know that you know your neuro clients have a pelvic floor… but are you doing anything to help it?? You may be surprised how many of your clients have weak, tight, spastic, or flaccid pelvic floors, and the issues arising from this may be preventing them from fully engaging in their lives. If you want to help but don't know where to start, this episode is for you! We break it down for the non-pelvic floor PT and give you the skinny on how to screen and incorporate an easy, functional progression of activities into what you're already doing with your neuro clients. Grace Weiland, PT, DPT, CAPP-PH, a physical therapist specializing in pelvic floor therapy, shares her expertise on an often overlooked but critical aspect of treating pelvic floor dysfunction in neurological rehabilitation. Working in a rural critical access hospital, Grace highlights the importance of pelvic floor health for all patients, not just those with specific pelvic issues. She explains that pelvic floor dysfunction can significantly impact quality of life, leading to social isolation and reduced participation in activities. Grace discusses how pelvic floor problems are common but not normal, emphasizing the need for healthcare providers to approach the topic professionally and sensitively. She offers practical strategies for screening and addressing pelvic floor issues, including breathing techniques, functional exercises, and subtle strengthening methods that don't require invasive interventions. The conversation reveals the interconnectedness of pelvic floor health with overall body mechanics, highlighting how exercises targeting stability, balance, and proper breathing can improve pelvic floor function. Grace will be presenting a detailed webinar on this topic during the upcoming NeuroSpark quadrimester, breaking down approaches for different neurological impairments and providing clinicians with valuable tools to support their patients' comprehensive rehabilitation. **A correction note from the episode: The pelvic floor co-activates when any of the following 4 muscles are activated: glute max, hip adductors, Transverse abdominus, obturator internus. Incontinence Severity Index (ISI) To get access to Grace's webinar go to www.joinneurospark.com to learn how to become a Sparky the next time NeuroSpark opens!

Halloween season always brings a wave of paranormal films, and this year is no different. The Conjuring franchise is still raking in millions, turning Ed and Lorraine into pop culture icons. A new film titled "Him," from the production company of Jordan Peele, is grabbing headlines, seemingly centered around a football star who looks like he's being offered a Faustian pact with the devil in order to reach his goals. Even from the trailer alone, the film is already drenched in occult and blatantly blasphemous imagery. Another supposed Halloween treat is the theatrical release of Shelby Oaks, from a former movie critic who stated that his childhood in a cult has shaped the path he is on today, as his debut horror film is centered around the world of paranormal investigators. These movies thrive during Halloween, and audiences eat them up, but here's the real question: what's behind the stories, the symbols, and so-called entertainment? What spiritual influences are at work, and what are you actually being sold when Hollywood packages the demonic as a blockbuster thriller?   Follow Good Fight Ministries on: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/goodfightministries    Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodfightministries    Twitter/X: https://www.twitter.com/goodfightmin    TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@goodfightministries    Support Us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/goodfight    Hollywood's War on God https://www.goodfight.org/product/hollywoods-war-on-god/ Harry Potter: A Spirit Conspiracy? https://www.goodfight.org/product/harry-potter-a-spirit-conspiracy/    ☑️ HELP US REACH 300,000 YOUTUBE SUBSCRIBERS! https://tinyurl.com/Subscr2GF

Controversy abounds as the Minnesota Vikings spark a nationwide debate by adding two male cheerleaders to their squad. It's a move being hailed by some as a step towards inclusion, while others call it a sign that the NFL is once again giving in to cultural pressure. While male cheerleaders have been around for quite some time, the recent clips have shown that they aren't simply there to lift some of the ladies up in their stunts, but instead are erotically gyrating about in the least masculine way possible. So what's really going on here? Is this just progress clashing with tradition, or is there something deeper happening in how we define masculinity in modern sports?
