Podcasts about Stockholm syndrome

This week, we're diving deep into the mind games with Harvard professor and author Rebecca Lemov, because if you've ever wondered whether brainwashing is real, the answer is a very unsettling yes. In Part 1 of our convo, we're cracking open the origins of brainwashing—from communist re-education camps to the electric shock labs of the Milgram experiment—and asking why we still can't seem to prove it in court. Rebecca's new book, The Instability of Truth, peels back the layers of mind control and thought reform, including what went down with Patty Hearst, why Stockholm Syndrome isn't what you think it is, and how emotional trauma becomes the secret sauce in cult programming. We also get personal. NXIVM, anyone? The parallels between modern-day cults and Maoist “unity-criticism-unity” techniques are downright eerie... and maybe uncomfortably familiar. From groupthink to gaslighting to re-grounding in a new belief system, this episode might just mess with your head a little (in a good way). Trigger warning: once you see the matrix, it's hard to unsee it. Find more about Rebecca Lemov and The Instability of Truth at rebeccalemov.com.

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (06/16/25), we present an episode of the Hank Unplugged podcast. Hank's guest is Dr. John West, author of Stockholm Syndrome Christianity: Why America's Christian Leaders Are Failing—And What We Can Do About It. Hank and Dr. West discuss what Stockholm Syndrome Christianity is, Seattle Pacific University as an example of Stockholm Syndrome Christianity, how parents can be sure of where to send their kids to school, and Andy Stanley's assertion that the Old Testament is obsolete.

Trials. Family vacations have been described as ‘plans to induce Stockholm Syndrome.' God is not abusive, but he redeems the pain of life to form in us a stronger attachment.

What if American culture isn't collapsing because of crusading secularists? What if it's failing because many leading Christians identify more with secular elites than with their fellow believers? Frank sits down with Dr. John G. West—author of 'Stockholm Syndrome Christianity', and Vice President of the Discovery Institute—to uncover why some of the most influential Christian voices seem to be echoing the values of secular culture rather than confronting them. Frank and John tackle some uncomfortable but necessary questions like:How did Stockholm Syndrome get its name and what does it reveal about human nature?Why are some believers supporting secular policies that contradict biblical truth?What's really at stake when Christians abandon truth in the name of “love”?How can parents discern whether a “Christian college” is truly grounded in Christ—and what 10 critical questions should they ask?How have high-profile figures like Francis Collins, Russell Moore, and David French used their influence to advocate for unbiblical policies while demonizing some Christians?Are conservatives too harsh or just unwilling to capitulate? And what can faithful followers of Jesus do to push back against 'Stockholm Syndrome Christianity'?Going beyond critique, the book identifies root causes and—most crucially—offers practical tips and strategies you can use to help your family, church, and community stand for truth. Read this book to become part of the solution and discern when and where to draw the line between faith and culture.Resources mentioned during the episode:John's website: https://johngwest.com/John's Book: https://stockholmsyndromechristianity.com/John's film work: https://johngwest.com/film/

In this conversation, Dr. John West discusses the alarming trend of Christian institutions compromising on biblical teachings, particularly regarding sexuality and marriage. He emphasizes the cultural pressures that lead to this decline and the role of leadership in maintaining doctrinal integrity. West calls for a return to faithfulness over success, urging Christians to be intentional in their beliefs and actions, especially in raising the next generation. He highlights the importance of discerning information sources and the need for proactive engagement in faith communities.Many Christian colleges have compromised on biblical teachings.The problem goes way beyond just marriage issues.Biblical sexuality is increasingly not being taught.Cultural pressures are influencing Christian values.Leadership plays a crucial role in upholding doctrine.Christians need to be intentional about raising their kids.Don't support institutions that have strayed from biblical teachings.Success in God's eyes is about faithfulness, not numbers.We must discern the information we consume.Ideas have consequences; bad ideas have victims.

As believers, it's easy to fall into a ‘Stockholm Syndrome' mindset where we start aligning more with the world than with God. In this message, Ps Adi unpacks the causes of this mindset in our lives and encourages us with powerful truths on how we can overcome it in our personal lives and our church.

Good leaders can be drawn to secular ideas over time. A recent discovery of N.T. Wright's unbiblical views on abortion is an example along with Andy Stanley's own actions and others. Author Dr. John G. West explains how the syndrome happens and offers practical strategies to help all believers stand for truth with grace and courage so we can be part of the change that is needed.

Culture isn't collapsing just because of crusading secularists, according to author Dr. John G. West. He believes it is because many leading Christians side with their anti-Christian cultural captors on issues from biblical authority to sex, race, and religious liberty. Seattle Pacific University and Fuller Theological Seminary are only part of this important conversation. Stockholm Syndrome Christianity (https://stockholmsyndromechristianity.com/)

In this conversation, Paul Weaver interviews John West about his journey from academia to the Discovery Institute, discussing the concept of 'Stockholm Syndrome Christianity' and its implications for modern Christian leaders and institutions. West critiques the shift in evangelical institutions away from biblical inerrancy and highlights the historical context of modernism and fundamentalism.

Summary: In this conversation, Dr. John West, author of Stockholm Syndrome Christianity, joins Michael to explore how Christian leaders are increasingly shaped by secular culture, often at the expense of biblical truth. They stress the need for self-examination within the church, especially regarding biblical inerrancy, moral compromise, and doctrinal clarity. Through critiques of figures like Francis Collins, Andy Stanley, and Tim Keller, West highlights the dangers of ambiguity and the manipulation of language in the church. He calls for bold, clear teaching and open debate to safeguard orthodoxy and resist cultural conformity. Takeaways: Engaging culture must not come at the cost of compromising biblical truth. Clarity in teaching is essential for preserving and transmitting Christian doctrine. The church must confront its internal issues—like moral compromise and doctrinal drift—before addressing societal problems. Language manipulation and ambiguity dilute the core message of Christianity. Discernment is critical in navigating cultural influences and maintaining theological integrity. Open, honest debate helps preserve orthodoxy and strengthen believers' convictions.

Dr. John G. West, Vice President of the Discovery Institute, discusses his powerful new book, Stockholm Syndrome Christianity: How the Relentless Assault on Religion Has Created a Nation of Christian Hostages.Dr. West reveals how many Christians—often unknowingly—have adopted the values, language, and priorities of a culture increasingly hostile to Biblical truth. We also explore how this cultural captivity affects the Church's witness, weakens its moral clarity, and compromises its mission. We'll discuss real-world examples, historical context, and the urgent need for Christians to reclaim a robust, unapologetic faith.

Week 3 of Sean “Diddy” Combs trial and Laura and Lisa Bilyeu dive into the powerful testimony of Capricorn Clark, who described the fear, threats, and intimidation she witnessed and experienced including the threat to Kid Cudi, and Diddy's calculated use of staff to control and retrieve Cassie. Laura explains the DASH Risk Assessment Model and how it is used to decode coercive control, stalking behaviors and credible threats to harm and/or kill. Dr. Nadine Macaluso unpacks the psychological aftermath of coercive control and the devastating impact of trauma bonds. Laura debunks Stockholm Syndrome, how women's trauma and survival responses are different to men's as well as what happens when violence is normalized and abuse becomes routine. Laura and Dr. Nadine bring clarity to how abuser's use shame, fear, and manipulation to entrap victims. They analyze the courtroom testimony from Deonte Nash and “Mia,” as well as one of the most common things abuser's say after a violent attack and how grooming and boundary erosion sets the stage for physical and sexual abuse. Finally, Laura and Lisa address the defense's request for a mistrial and the implications of that move, while sharing resources to better understand coercive control and risk. This episode is a vital listen. The courtroom isn't just a stage for justice - it's a lens into systemic patterns of abuse, gaslighting denial, and accountability.

You may have heard of Stockholm Syndrome, which is when a hostage or a victim develops a positive bond with their captor or abuser. But did you know that there is an opposite of Stockholm Syndrome, which sees that dynamic flipped? It's called Lima Syndrome. The rare and intriguing phenomenon is named after the Peruvian capital city of Lima. It emerged in the context of a turbulent period in Peruvian history. Lima Syndrome isn't necessarily a pathological condition, but it highlights the complexity of human emotions and the power dynamics at play in hostage situations. Where does the name come from? When did we first observe this syndrome ? Why does it happen? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Part Two of a thorough review of Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams picks up with Chapters 12-18. As the author begins to experience life working for Facebook as a new mother, the reality of how that milestone is viewed by her colleagues becomes apparent. More equally chilling and amusing insights about Sheryl and Mark are shared, including her experiences being included in Mark's luxurious travel, his private jet preferences, and the work, or lack thereof, that went into courting various governments. Awkward executive level dynamics and personalities continue to be revealed via Sarah's outsider's perspective as we witness her slowly becoming more jaded with each passing chapter. BONUS: a rant on Andrew Jackson Books/biographies about Andrew Jackson: Life of Andrew Jackson by James PartonThe Passions of Andrew Jackson by Andrew Burstein American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House by Jon MeachamFathers & Children: Andrew Jackson and the Subjugation of the American Indian by Michael Paul Rogin All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

As we reach the end of season 3, we pay homage to the consistency of the writing, costumes, acting, and story arcs of all of these episodes! It will especially be on our mind as we enter season 3 of AJLT, and its almost impossible to not compare and think "ummm what the HECK happened???" But like all of us millennial fans with the appropriate Stockholm Syndrome, We will go into AJLT with positive thoughts and prayers. On this episode, Carrie plans to meet with Big "one more time" for some closure, and Miranda IS. NOT. HEARING. IT. Which, of course, makes Miranda the devil (according to Carrie, who expects a voicemail apology by the time she arrives home). Miranda is shamed by a Chinese restaurant hostess, but is it really just herself projecting? (spoiler: yes AND; the woman is literally laughing at her), Samantha has a super problematic-but-at-the-same-time kinda progressive battle with some "working girls" below her window, and Charlotte and Trey finally manage to CUM to an understanding.

In “Dark Sayings,” I explore how internalized racism destroyed my mother's family. This psychological process, woven out of Hellenistic pluralism and anti-Scriptural platitudes about the so-called “Melting Pot,” reveals how systemic racism operates not only externally but within the immigrant's self-conception.Internalized racism is more insidious than the inferiority complex from which it stems. Eventually, the immigrant—the stranger in a foreign land—overcomes fear by adopting the personality of the oppressor.“You shouldn't give your children Arabic names, Marc.”“Stop listening to Arabic music, Marc.”“You need to assimilate into this culture, Marc.”“If you love the Middle East so much, Marc, why don't you live there?”The last one is my favorite. It reveals the speaker's true heart. They might as well say, “Go back to Africa, Marc.”My father is from Africa. Is Africa a punishment?Internalized racism explains why people from the West Bank see themselves as superior to people from Gaza. It's why Arab Christians often identify with white Western Christians against their Muslim brothers. It's why immigrants and minorities across backgrounds look up to those who marginalize them.This concept of “Stockholm Syndrome” reflects a fundamental truth about the human condition. The privileged and underprivileged who perpetuate internalized racism share something profoundly disturbing in common: both reject the God of Abraham, trusting not in him as King, but in themselves.Ironically, Pharaoh (or Caesar) is not their king, as they profess in John's Gospel, but merely their locum tenens — their temporary substitute. They view themselves as the true sovereigns. This explains their enthusiasm for elections; they delight in proclaiming their chosen figurehead by acclamation: creatus imperator.They “create” (creāre) him. They “make” him. They “elect” him. They “bring him into being” and then they control him—but they can't control the God who speaks out of the whirlwind.Providence, habibi, is rougher than a corncob. She'll slap you sideways even if you're careful.Though “internalized racism” isn't a Scriptural term, it's rooted in biblical notions of cowardice; in the absolute fear of the power of death and deep anxiety about what might happen if Jesus alienates the “wrong people” in Decapolis. God forbid he offend those “nice white people.” Very bad for business.Consider the disciples.What a bunch of cowardly, misguided fools. One almost wonders why Jesus didn't let his Father finish what he began with the storm at sea.Oops! I am starting to sound like Jonah. See, there are no good guys!This week, I discuss Luke 8:25.Show Notesβουλή (boulē) / מ-כ-ר (meem-kaf-resh) / م-ك-ر (mīm-kāf-rāʾ)Purposeful plan, will, counsel. يَمْكُرُ (yamkurū) to plan, scheme, plot. מכר (makar) to sell. For example, Joseph being sold by his brothers (מָכְרוּ māḵərū Genesis 37:28).“But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected God's plan (τὴν βουλὴν τοῦ θεοῦ tēn boulēn tou theou) for themselves, not having been baptized by John.” (Luke 7:30)“For thus says the Lord: ‘You have sold yourselves (נִמְכַּרְתֶּם nimkartem) for nothing, and you shall be redeemed without money.'” (Isaiah 52:3)“Woe to the rebellious children,” declares the Lord, “Who execute a plan, but not mine, and make an alliance, but not of my Spirit, in order to add sin to sin.” (Isaiah 30:1)“And [remember] when those who did not believe made plans (يَمْكُرُ yamkuru) against you to restrain you, or kill you, or expel you. And they make plans (ۚ وَيَمْكُرُونَ wa yamkuruna), but God makes plans (وَيَمْكُرُ wa yamkuru) — and God is the best of planners (الْمَاكِرِينَ al-makirin).” (Surah Al-Anfal 8:30)πίστις (pistis) / אֱמֶת (ʾemet), from the root א-מ-ן (aleph-mem-nun), אָמֵן (ʾāmēn), and أمين (amīn)The root א-מ-ן (aleph-mem-nun) is functional with إيمان (īmān, “faith”) and آمن (āmana, “he trusted”), reflecting the biblical Hebrew concepts of trust, faithfulness, and reliability.Under the influence of Hellenism (Judaeo-Christianism), אֱמֶת (ʾemet) is misinterpreted by neoplatonists as “truth,” as if it were a philosophical abstraction. Here, the wisdom of George Carlin comes to mind:“I leave symbols to the symbol-minded.”The God of Abraham is not a “symbol,” let alone a pagan effigy—he is our trustworthy Master. Saying “amin” does not indicate agreement with an idea; it reflects placement of trust in the trustworthy Master.φοβέω (phobeō) / י-ר-א (yod-resh-aleph) / و-ر-ي (wāw–rāʼ–yāʼ)Fear, fearful, or feared. وَأَرَى (waʾara) — “to frighten someone.”“Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. But the angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” He said, “Do not stretch out your hand against the lad, and do nothing to him; for now I know that you fear God ( יְרֵ֤א אֱלֹהִים֙ yerēʾʹ ʾělō·hîmʹ ), since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.” Then Abraham raised his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him a ram caught in the thicket by his horns; and Abraham went and took the ram and offered him up for a burnt offering in the place of his son. Abraham called the name of that place The Lord Will Provide, as it is said to this day, “In the mount of the Lord it will be provided.”” (Genesis 22:10–14)In the Qur'an, وَأَرَى (waʾara) is linked to divine signs intended to cause fear. Concerning the Lukan reference, Abraham is shown (أَرَى arā) a terrifying thing:“And when he reached the age of striving with him, [Abraham] said: ‘O my son, indeed I see (أَرَى arā) in a dream that I am sacrificing you.” (Qur'an 37:102)In Genesis 22, Abraham also sees (וַיַּרְא wayyárʾ) the ram caught in the thicket, and “fears God” (ירא אלהים yirē ʾelohim) through his obedience.θαυμάζω (thaumazō) / ת-מ-ה (taw-meem-he)The disciples encountered God on Mount Zion, were filled with terror, panicked, and fled:“They saw it, then they were amazed (תָּמָ֑הוּ tā·māʹ·hû); They were terrified, they fled in alarm.” (Psalm 48:5)In Ecclesiastes, after a reminder to “fear God,” a warning: don't be shocked by institutional oppression. Corruption and injustice are standard and forever entrenched — officials monitor one another, but the system will always fail. “Reform” is a word found only on the lips of the self-righteous:“Guard your steps as you go to the house of God and draw near to hear rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools; for they do not know they are doing evil….For in many dreams and in many words there is emptiness. Rather, fea...

By Philip Aust - In 1973 a crime in Sweden exhibited a strange circumstance between the perpetrators and the innocent captives that were involved. The incident became the source of what is now known as the Stockholm Syndrome. This sermon connects how our minds and human nature can lead us to incorrect views of what

Stockholm syndrome is a psychological phenomena that may occur in situations of kidnapping or abuse. While this syndrome has been seen in various situations and portrayed on movies and tv, it is not a formal psychiatric diagnosis. Join Dave and Greg as they explore this phenomena and offer insight into how it develops within relationships.

Questioning the Trinity is like trying to cancel a gym membership—taxing, frustrating, and somehow you end up in worse shape. But why is there such a visceral reaction to even questioning it? In this video, I break down Theological Stockholm Syndrome—how centuries of persecution, dogma, and intellectual investment make the Trinity untouchable for many Christians.Inspired by a video from Ruslan (a rich man's Mike Winger), I explore:

Interesting quotes from the thread I get it replaces pip/pyenv, but should I also use it instead of the built in 'python -m venv .venv'? But I need python installed to make python programs? Because it places the venv in the project folder and I can't run executables from there due to corporate policy. Many such cases. No idea why astral doesn't address this with more urgency. Sounds like a bad corporate policy :) i'm too lazy to switch from pyenv and pip trust issues, what if they do a bait and switch … Because everyone said that about poetry and I'm not sure I'm really ready to get hurt again. Masochism Many times I tried a lot of similar tools and always come back to pip and pip-tools. Them are just work, why should I spend my time for something "cool" that will bring more problems? I tried this week but I was expecting a "uv install requests" instead of "uv add". Switched back to pipenv. we partially use it. will transition when Dependabot support is available.

Any cell named as test_* is automatically discoverable and testable by pytest. The same goes for any cell that contains only test_ functions and Test classes.” “Importantly, because cells are wrapped in functions, running pytest test_notebook.py doesn't execute the entire notebook — just its tests.” Extras Brian: PyConUS announces Refund Policy for International Attendees New format now live for The Complete pytest Course Bundle and component courses Each course now available separately also pytest Primary Power is 13 lessons, 3.9 hours Using pytest with Projects, 10 lessons, 3.4 hours pytest Booster Rockets, 6 lessons, 1.3 hours of content New format is easier to navigate Better for people who like different speeds.

Stockholm Syndrome Christianity: When Faith Surrenders to Secularism Lenny Esposito and John G. West unpack “Stockholm Syndrome Christianity,” a trend where Christian leaders embrace secular ideologies over biblical truth. From cultural influences to critiques of figures like Andy Stanley and Francis Collins, this discussion reveals the corruptions creeping into modern Christian practice and offers insights on how believers can identify wolves in sheep's clothing while standing firm in their faith.

Why do so many evangelical Christians reinvent their theology to make it consistent with undirected Darwinism? On this ID The Future, Dr. John West reads an excerpt from his new book Stockholm Syndrome Christianity: Why Christian Leaders Are Failing And What We Can Do About It. As Exhibit A of an influential evangelical Christian that has been captivated by scientific materialism, West unpacks the work and troubled legacy of Dr. Francis Collins. During his tenure as director of the National Institutes of Health, Collins has led a years-long crusade to de-legitimize fellow Christian scientists, scholars, and laypeople who are supportive of intelligent design or skeptical of Darwinian evolution. This effort to reduce the range of voices allowed to pursue truth in science has confused many people and retarded scientific progress at precisely the time America should be taking the lead in scientific research and discovery. Listen to this compelling excerpt and then read the book! Source

When Christians in science embrace scientific materialism over historical biblical teaching, they mislead their fellow believers and hinder scientific progress. On this ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid concludes a two-part conversation about this problem with Dr. John West, author of the new book Stockholm Syndrome Christianity: Why Christian Leaders Are Failing and What We Can Do About It. In Part 2, Dr. West describes three biblical beliefs that have been corroded by theistic evolution. He discusses the flawed theology and troubled legacy of Dr. Francis Collins. He also stresses the importance of disagreement and open debate in science. This is Part 2 of a two-part conversation. Source

In August of 1973, Jan-Erik Olsson walked into the lobby of a bank in central Stockholm. He fired his submachine gun at the ceiling and yelled “The party starts now!” Then he started taking hostages. For the next six days, Swedish police and international media would tie themselves in knots trying to understand what seemed to them a sordid attachment between captor and captives. And this fixation, later pathologized as “Stockholm Syndrome,” would soon spread across the globe, becoming an easy, often flippant explanation for why people—especially women—in crisis behave in ways outsiders can't understand. But what if we got the origin story wrong?Today on Radiolab, we reexamine that week in 1973 and the earworm heard ‘round the world. Is “Stockholm Syndrome” just pop psychology built on a pile of lies? Or does it hold some kernel of truth that could help all of us better understand inexplicable trauma?Special thanks to David Mandel, Ruth Reymundo Mandel, Frank Ochberg, Terrence Mickey, Cara Pellegrini, Kathy Yuen, Mimi Wilcox and Jani Pellikka."We have some exciting news!
