Podcasts about Speakeasy

Today's episode is a long overdue catch-up. I'm finally sharing the fuller story of what happened in 2025: the year God completely flipped my life, my work, my identity, and my priorities upside down. If you've noticed that my content has shifted a lot over the last year, this is the why. For years, this podcast has felt like the most full expression of me. Faith, motherhood, politics, wellness, the Bible, all of it. But Instagram had become heavily political. Eventually, the very work I thought was most important started costing me more than I realized, my peace, my presence, my family, and honestly, my soul. In this episode, I'm sharing the story of how God began asking me to do something that felt harder than any "jump" of obedience He'd ever asked of me before: sit down, pull back, do less, trust Him, and let Him carry what I had been trying to hold together myself. We talk about: how political content became my full-time work the moment I realized my priorities were deeply out of order what disobedience looked like in real time why 2025 felt like my "belly of the whale" year the vision God gave me that changed everything identity, striving, motherhood, and learning to be a daughter before a warrior why I stepped back from politics online what God has been rebuilding in me ever since This one is personal. It's vulnerable. And it's probably the clearest picture I've given yet of the shift God has been walking me through. If you're in a season where God is asking you to slow down, let go, or trust Him in ways you do not like, this episode is for you.

In der neuen Speakeasy-Bar sprechen wir schwerpunktmäßig über den Rechtsruck in den USA und in Deutschland. Die Springer-Presse bemüht sich nach Kräften, die Brandmauer einzureißen. Die Idee, die auch Nius sowie Teile der CDU und AfD verfolgen, besteht darin, ein neues "bürgerliches" Lager entstehen zu lassen.Bei der Landtagswahl in Baden-Württemberg kam die AfD auf 18,8 Prozent – trotz eines schlechten Wahlkampfs und obwohl die CDU im Ländle besonders konservativ ist. Schaut man sich einzelne Wahlkreise an, ergibt sich ein interessantes Bild: Gerade in wirtschaftlich starken Regionen mit vielen Hidden Champions wird besonders rechts gewählt. Gebildet hat sich dort eine Kapitalfraktion aus Familienunternehmern, die von der Brandmauer wenig halten.In den USA ist diese Entwicklung schon weiter fortgeschritten: Libertäre Ideen vermischen sich mit Patriotismus und einer anti-woken Agenda. Knapp 80 Minuten sprechen wir über diese Zusammenhänge, dabei beziehen wir uns auf das frisch erschienene Buch „Oben rechts“. Anschließend beantworten wir Fragen aus dem Publikum.

What is Texification, and why do it to Kentucky whiskey? Heather Greene, Master Blender of Milam & Greene hops on with Greg and Sother to answer that very question. She delves into what the unique climate of Texas does to a barrel of bourbon (or rye), what place whiskey occupies in our lives these days, and how she met the partners in her whiskey supergroup in the first place.PLUS, the kids are alright, but the way journalists cover them still sucks.

Today we're talking about anxiety, not the casual "I'm stressed" kind, but the kind that takes over your body, your thoughts, your sleep, your peace, and your sense of safety. My friend Maddie Joy Fischer joins me to talk about our very real stories with anxiety, panic, fear, and the lies at the root of it all. We both know what it's like to feel trapped by fear and to wonder if this is just how life will always be. But we also know what it's like for God to meet us there, unravel self-reliance, expose the lies, and begin rebuilding something truer and stronger. In this conversation we talk about: how anxiety can start small and slowly take over health anxiety, panic attacks, and feeling unsafe in your own body the lie that says "I'm not safe" and the truth that answers it fear of man, self-protection, and trying to stay in control what it looks like to come to the end of yourself why healing is often not linear how God uses even the darkest seasons for redemption what surrender actually looks like when you're in it This episode is full of honesty, Scripture, and hope for the person still in the thick of anxiety, and for the person who loves someone who is. If you've ever felt like fear was driving the bus, this conversation is for you. There is freedom in Jesus. There is truth stronger than the lies. And there is hope, even here.

Today's conversation is one I didn't expect to have, but I'm so glad we did. I'm joined by Ben Higgins, known from The Bachelor franchise, but more importantly, a man willing to talk honestly about something many of us feel and few of us admit: loneliness. Ben's book, Alone in Plain Sight: Searching for Connection When You're Seen But Not Known, explores what it's like to feel invisible, even while millions are watching. From reality TV to marriage, from church culture to platform pressure, Ben opens up about insecurity, performance, and the quiet fear that if people really knew us, they might not like us. We talk about: The difference between feeling unlovable vs. unlikable Why social media connection doesn't cure loneliness Performative Christianity and losing yourself in the process The courage it takes for men to admit loneliness How slowing down exposes what's actually going on inside Letting the right people speak into your life, and guarding your heart This isn't just a "Bachelor" conversation. It's about identity, community, vulnerability, and what it means to be fully known without performing. If you've ever wondered whether God actually likes you, or struggled to believe that the real you is enough, this episode will meet you there.

In this week's episode of GameBurst, we navigate a particularly turbulent period for the video game industry, marked by significant leadership shifts and mounting legal pressures. We lead with the executive upheaval at Xbox, where the sudden departures of stalwarts Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond have forced a swift pledge from new leadership to return the brand to its console hardware roots. The legal landscape for Valve also intensifies this week. The PC gaming giant is currently facing a dual-front battle: a lawsuit from the New York attorney general over alleged illegal gambling within loot box systems, and a staggering £656m collective action claim in the UK courts regarding Steam's market dominance. Meanwhile, the human cost of industry consolidation is felt at Eurogamer and Outside Xbox, which have been hit by a fresh wave of editorial layoffs following their acquisition in 2024. On a brighter note for fans of gothic platforming, Konami has announced Castlevania: Belmont's Curse for a 2026 release, developed in collaboration with the team behind Dead Cells. We also discuss the departure of creative director Clint Hocking from Ubisoft's upcoming Assassin's Creed Codename Hexe and dive into our Picks of the Week, featuring the board game Speakeasy and the latest from LumiBricks. Finally, we address community feedback regarding the ethics of game ratings and the evolution of the podcast's format. #gameburst

In der neuen Ausgabe der Speakeasy-Bar sprechen wir über die EU-Sanktionen gegen Personen, die in den Augen der Regierenden in Brüssel eine Gefahr für die Union darstellen. Das Thema Meinungsfreiheit begleitet uns auch, wenn es um eine Gesetzesreform in den USA geht, für die sich der Schauspieler Joseph Gordon-Levitt einsetzt. Section 230 soll fallen, angeblich, um Kinder und Jugendliche zu schützen, in Wahrheit könnte dies aber das Ende des freien Internets bedeuten.Darüber hinaus sprechen Ole Nymoen und Wolfgang M. Schmitt über Noam Chomskys Beziehungen zu Jeffrey Epstein, das Für und Wider eines AfD-Verbots, die Werttheorie angesichts hoher Börsenbewertungen und über viele weitere Fragen aus dem Publikum. Alle Themen/Fragen: 00:00:00: Free Speech in Gefahr? EU-Sanktionen gegen Journalisten00:21:23: Was denken wir über den Anschlag der sogenannten “Vulkangruppe” auf die Berliner Energieversorgung – und über die Reaktionen darauf?00:28:10: Helfen die Sinus-Milieu-Studien, die Gesellschaft besser zu verstehen? Oder verschleiern sie den Blick auf tatsächliche Erkenntniskategorien (Klasse, politische Haltung)?00:37:37: Sind Graffiti ein subversiver Akt?00:46:24: Ist es falsch, wenn Linke den Verfassungsschutz als Kronzeugen aufrufen – etwa, um die AfD zu kritisieren?00:52:12: Wie blicken wir auf ein potentielles AfD-Verbot?01:09:36: Lässt sich der Reichtum von Elon Musk noch werttheoretisch erklären?01:16:12: Droht der Tod des freien Internets?01:46:43: Gibt es gute Opern, die das Thema Krieg behandeln?01:51:30: Inwiefern ist Michel Houellebecq ein marxistischer Autor?01:57:15: Gäbe es in unserem Sozialismus noch Leistungssport?02:03:20: Wie blicken wir auf die Beziehungen von Noam Chomsky zu Jeffrey Epstein?

What if Bible study didn't feel dry, intimidating, or guilt-driven, but instead felt alive, honest, and deeply formative? In this episode of The Speakeasy Podcast, Blake sits down with Faith Womack, author of No More Boring Bible Study and self-proclaimed Bible nerd, to talk about how Scripture can actually come to life in your everyday faith. Faith shares her powerful story of growing up with Scripture misused and weaponized—and how God redeemed that pain by drawing her into a deep, life-giving love for His Word. Together, they unpack: Why Bible study often feels boring (and why it doesn't have to) How cultural Christianity and performance pressure distort our approach to Scripture Why chasing "mountaintop moments" can actually hold us back How to read the Bible with clarity, context, and confidence Why it's okay to go slow, camp out, and stop treating God like a vending machine This conversation is freeing, grounding, and incredibly practical, especially if you've ever felt overwhelmed, bored, intimidated, or burned by Bible study. Whether you're brand new to reading Scripture or have been in it for years, this episode will help you shift from pressure to presence and rediscover the beauty of God's Word. "The Bible isn't boring, we just haven't always been taught how to read it."

In today's episode, Blake sits down with Joby Martin, lead pastor of Church of 11:22, for a candid, practical, and surprisingly fun conversation about biblical marriage. This is a must-listen—especially with your husband. Together, they talk honestly about leadership, submission, responsibility, and why keeping score in marriage quietly kills intimacy. Pastor Joby brings clarity (and humor) to what Scripture actually calls men to be—and how that leadership is meant to free wives, not burden them. From encouragement and repentance to negotiation, gratitude, and yes… make out sessions—this episode covers what healthy, Christ-centered marriage looks like in real life. They also unpack: Why men need other godly men to grow How wives can encourage change without nagging The danger of swinging from passivity to toxic "alpha" masculinity Why gratitude, affirmation, and humility go further than criticism How communication and negotiation build trust and intimacy over time This conversation is grounded in Scripture, full of wisdom, and deeply hopeful.

This episode continues an unexpected but timely series focused on strengthening families at the start of the year. Blake sits down with Pastor Greg Thompson, author of Fighting for Your Family, for an honest, practical conversation about marriage, parenting, and spiritual warfare. Too often, the hardest battles feel like they're inside the home—spouses clashing, tension with kids, constant frustration. But Greg reframes the fight: your spouse and your family are not the enemy. The real shift happens when couples stop fighting each other and start standing back-to-back, fighting for their family's mission and future. Together, they unpack: What spiritual warfare actually looks like in everyday family life Why humility, prayer, and "going first" matter more than being right How fighting your own flesh changes everything The power of encouragement, honor, and apology in marriage Why community and the local church are essential for healthy families If you're carrying tension from last year—or want to protect what God is building in your home—this episode offers biblical clarity and tangible next steps.
