Tommy and Ben explain why Trump backed off his threat to take Greenland by force and debate whether European leaders have finally found a playbook for how to push back, the backlash to Trump's disgraceful denigration of NATO troops and their service in Afghanistan, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's bold attempt to break from the United States and forge a new international order. Then they cover the purge of top military leaders in China and widespread rumors of a coup attempt against Chinese President Xi Jinping, Jared Kushner's much-derided PowerPoint presentation on the future of Gaza, new details about how the Iranian regime crushed the recent protests and why there may now be an even greater likelihood that the US bombs Iran (again), a humiliating and terrifying profile of Kash Patel's first year at the FBI, and why a real estate forum in Saudi Arabia made us want to cry. Then Tommy speaks with Kenneth Rosen, author of Polar War: Submarines, Spies, and the Struggle for Power in a Melting Arctic, about why the Arctic is becoming a geopolitical flashpoint.

Caught in "not enough" or "too much" loops as an autistic or AuDHD adult—stuck in old patterns, feeling like your needs are a burden, or burning out trying to keep everyone else okay? This episode of Adulting With Autism dives into self-love for autistic adults with Christina Ketchen, a certified life and relationship coach trained in HeartMath®, Gottman, and the Hoffman Process, who brings both neuroscience and hard-won personal wisdom to healing.​ Christina talks about trauma loops—those familiar patterns and relationship dynamics that feel terrible but somehow also "normal"—and how they can quietly drain self-worth over time. She shares compassionate tools like heart-focused breathing to support the nervous system, "kind no's" that protect your energy ("This doesn't work for me—thank you"), and gentle self-talk that shifts you from "I am broken" to "I am human and learning."​ You will hear how patterns often started as protection, how faith/meaning can reframe pain without dismissing it, and why embracing your "messy" humanity is part of building real self-love, not a sign of failure. Christina also offers guidance for neurodivergent adults who feel guilty setting boundaries or fear that saying no will make people leave.​ This episode is especially helpful if you: Keep ending up in the same painful situations or relationships Struggle to hold boundaries without intense shame, fear, or backlash inside your own mind Are learning what self-love looks like for you as an autistic or AuDHD adult, beyond clichés and quick fixes If this conversation supports you, follow/subscribe to Adulting With Autism on YouTube Apple, or Spotify and leave a 5-star review so more neurodivergent adults can find it.

What does it really take to age well—and why do so many people struggle with this transition after work? Today's guest is Ken Stern, author of Healthy to 100 and a researcher focused on aging, longevity, and social connection. Ken has spent years studying why some people remain healthy and engaged later in life, while others face isolation and decline. Ken explains why Americans struggle with aging and retirement more than people in other countries… and what we get wrong about life after work. In this episode, we discuss: Why aging in America often leads to isolation after work What other cultures get right about belonging later in life The surprising benefits of continuing some form of work Why staying busy isn't the same as living well What longevity research overlooks about human connection   Resources: Healthy to 100 by Ken Stern The Longevity Project

In this powerful and eye‑opening episode, Kyle tackles one of the most confusing—and often discouraging—questions Christians face: Why do sin, sickness, weakness and suffering continue even after we're saved?

The Heretic of Cacheu: Crispina Peres and the Struggle over Life in Seventeenth-Century West Africa (U Chicago Press, 2025) by Professor Toby Green tells the extraordinary story of seventeenth-century West African slave trader Crispina Peres to explore the shifting, sophisticated world in which she lived. In 1665, Crispina Peres, the most powerful trader in the West African slave-trafficking port of Cacheu, was arrested by the Portuguese Inquisition. Her enemies had conspired to denounce her for taking treatments prescribed by Senegambian healers, the djabakós. But who was Peres? And why was the Inquisition so concerned with policing the faith of a West African woman in today's Guinea-Bissau? In The Heretic of Cacheu, award-winning historian Dr. Green takes us to the heart of this conundrum, immersing us in the atmosphere of an otherwise distant setting. We learn how people in seventeenth-century Cacheu built their houses; styled their clothes; healed themselves from illness; and worshipped, worked, and played. Green renders the haunting realities of the growing slave trade and the rise of European empires in shocking detail. By the 1650s, the relationships between Europe, West Africa, and the Americas were already old and tangled, with slaving ports, colonies, and military bases having intermingled over many generations. But Cacheu also profoundly troubled this dynamic. It was globally connected to places ranging from China and India to Brazil and Colombia, and women such as Crispina Peres ran the town and challenged the patriarchy of empire. For the first time, through surviving documents recording Peres's case, The Heretic of Cacheu lets readers experience the reality of this unique place and time through a remarkable act of historical recovery. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Dr. Linda Seiler decided to follow Jesus in high school, but her sexual and emotional struggles didn't simply disappear. In this episode, she shares her own story and the insight she's gained through decades of ministry and trauma-informed care. Now an ordained Assemblies of God minister and Executive Director of ReStory Ministries, Linda helps us explore what was missing in the early years of her faith journey and why sincere belief alone often isn't enough to bring freedom. We talk candidly about how modern culture frames sexual orientation and gender identity as fixed and immutable, and why Linda believes there is always a reason beneath the behavior—and therefore real hope for resolution. This conversation offers deep compassion for those who feel discouraged, weary, or stuck in repeated cycles or sin or brokenness. We explore where healing actually begins: love, truth, identity in Christ, and community—not performance or results-driven spirituality. Linda cautions against turning transformation itself into an idol and invites listeners into a more patient, grace-filled vision of change. If you've ever wondered why change takes so long, how trauma shapes desire, or how identity and belonging influence healing, this episode offers clarity, hope, and a wider vision of redemption.

This was a DEEP one ...

Caps radio analyst John Walton joins the program to discuss the team's struggles.

Have you ever hesitated to call yourself a speaker… or a thought leader… even though you know you have something important to say?I see it all the time: brilliant women who have delivered keynotes, led workshops, facilitated panels, taught classes, and spoken on stages — yet still say, “I'm not a speaker.” Sound familiar?So in this episode, I'm gently (okay, maybe a little lovingly persuasively) challenging you to rethink that hesitation.We dig into why so many women resist claiming the identity of speaker and thought leader, what's really happening beneath the surface, and — most importantly — how to start shifting that identity in a way that feels authentic, empowering, and aligned with who you truly are.I also share something personal: my own struggle with claiming the identity of writer as I work on my book. Yep, even after hundreds of podcast episodes, years of speaking, and decades of communication work, identity shifts can still feel vulnerable. You're in good company.In this episode, you'll learn:Why women often resist calling themselves speakers and thought leadersHow comparison and perfectionism quietly keep us stuckThe surprising psychology behind identity shifts (inspired by Atomic Habits)Simple, concrete steps you can take right now to start owning your voiceWhy claiming your identity isn't about ego — it's about impactI also share practical actions you can take today — from small LinkedIn tweaks to mindset shifts — that will help you step into your role as a visible leader with more confidence and ease.And because I love a powerful real-world example, I read a moving testimonial from one of our retreat clients that beautifully illustrates what happens when women finally own their voice and presence.If you've ever felt like you're playing small, waiting until you're “ready,” or hesitating to fully step into your visibility, this episode is your loving nudge forward.Because the truth is: we need your voice.This episode originally aired as episode 391 on May 6, 2024.Links:Show notes at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/391/ Discover your Speaker Archetype by taking our free quiz at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/quiz/Enroll in our Thought Leader Academy: https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/academy/ Connect with me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carolcoxBook mentioned “Atomic Habits”: https://www.amazon.com/Atomic-Habits-Proven-Build-Break-ebook/dp/B07D23CFGR/ Related Podcast Episodes:Episode 371: What to Include in Your Speaker Video Reel and Speaker PageEpisode 407: Building Your Speaking Platform as an Author (Even If You're an Introvert!) with Tiffany HawkEpisode 257: Writing a Book Gives Your Ideas Depth and Longevity with Tiffany HawkEpisode 301: Why We Get Imposter Syndrome and What to Do About It with Melody Wilding

As World War II raged in North Africa, General Erwin Rommel was guided by an uncanny sense of his enemies' plans and weaknesses. In the summer of 1942, he led his Axis army swiftly and terrifyingly toward Alexandria, with the goal of overrunning the entire Middle East. Each step was informed by detailed updates on British positions. The Nazis, somehow, had a source for the Allies' greatest secrets. Yet the Axis powers were not the only ones with intelligence. Brilliant Allied cryptographers worked relentlessly at Bletchley Park, breaking down the extraordinarily complex Nazi code Enigma. From decoded German messages, they discovered that the enemy had a wealth of inside information. On the brink of disaster, a fevered and high-stakes search for the source began. In War of Shadows: Codebreakers, Spies, and the Secret Struggle to Drive the Nazis from the Middle East (Public Affairs, 2021), Gershom Gorenberg tells the cinematic story of the race for information in the North African theater of World War II, set against intrigues that spanned the Middle East. Years in the making, this book is a feat of historical research and storytelling, and a rethinking of the popular narrative of the war. It portrays the conflict not as an inevitable clash of heroes and villains but a spiraling series of failures, accidents, and desperate triumphs that decided the fate of the Middle East and quite possibly the outcome of the war. Gershom Gorenberg is a columnist for the Washington Post and a senior correspondent for the American Prospect, as well as an Adjunct Faculty at Columbia Graduate School of Journalism. Schneur Zalman Newfield is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Borough of Manhattan Community College, City University of New York, and the author of Degrees of Separation: Identity Formation While Leaving Ultra-Orthodox Judaism (Temple University Press, 2020).

Brilliant Allied cryptographers worked relentlessly at Bletchley Park, breaking down the extraordinarily complex Nazi code Enigma. From decoded German messages, they discovered that the enemy had a wealth of inside information. On the brink of disaster, a fevered and high-stakes search for the source began. In War of Shadows: Codebreakers, Spies, and the Secret Struggle to Drive the Nazis from the Middle East (Public Affairs, 2021), Gershom Gorenberg tells the cinematic story of the race for information in the North African theater of World War II, set against intrigues that spanned the Middle East. Years in the making, this book is a feat of historical research and storytelling, and a rethinking of the popular narrative of the war. It portrays the conflict not as an inevitable clash of heroes and villains but a spiraling series of failures, accidents, and desperate triumphs that decided the fate of the Middle East and quite possibly the outcome of the war. Gershom Gorenberg is a columnist for the Washington Post and a senior correspondent for the American Prospect, as well as an Adjunct Faculty at Columbia Graduate School of Journalism.

"If you want answers, they are out there. But the one thing that I have learned is who do you have a testimony in? If you have a testimony in the church, if you have a testimony in the missionaries, in anything other than Jesus, it's going to fail you and you're going to fall. But if you have a testimony in Jesus and you really do believe that this is His church, all of those things-they'll pale. And when it's time for you to find those answers, you will find those answers. God works that way, line upon line, precept upon precept."00:00 Introduction and Personal Beliefs01:42 Welcoming Chase to the Podcast11:29 Post-Mission Life and Rebellion14:27 Life in the Mountains and Personal Realizations22:17 The Miracle and Reconnecting with Faith25:26 The Experiment Begins34:06 Struggles and Realizations40:22 Understanding Celestial ThinkingMemor Jewelry code COMEBACK for 10% offhttps://memorjewelry.com/Serve Clothing code COMEBACK for 15% offhttps://serveclothing.com/If you have a story to share please contact ashly.comebackpodcast@gmail.comFor inquiries contact info.comebackpodcast@gmail.comCome Back Team:Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly StoneEditor: Cara ReedOutreach Manager: Jenna CarlsonAssistant Editor: Michelle BergerAssistant Editor: Britt SmallzeArt Director: Jeremy GarciaProduction Director: Trent Wardwell

Send us a textEver pulled a 12 that turned into 14 because relief never came? We open the curtain on Air Force Security Forces and talk frankly about what keeps people in the beret—and what drives them out. From the missile field to the flight line to the range, we map the real forces that shape careers: schedules that never sleep, recalls that erase off-duty life, and the constant whiplash between boredom and chaos that only cops understand.We dig into the culture clashes that define the unit from the inside. Flight carries the grind—gates, patrols, reports, QC—while back office runs calendars, awards, and admin. That gap can warp incentives, sending strong patrolmen chasing stable hours instead of operational growth. Then there are the prestige sections: K9's unique mission with its own skill demands, Raven's tight community and travel perks that draw both admiration and side-eye, and CADM's critical training role that can feel insulated from flight. Each path offers real value and real tradeoffs, including promotion ceilings if you stay too long in a niche without deliberate rotation.Leadership is the hinge. The best leaders enforce standards, build fair schedules, and make sure recognition matches output. The worst pick the hardest option by default and forget the admin that makes careers—bullets, awards, and time for development. We share firsthand wins and misses, including the higher standard placed on defenders after off-duty mistakes and how that shapes trust. Still, the Defender identity forges resilient people; many of the Air Force's strongest first sergeants, group chiefs, and command chiefs grew up on flight.If you've ever asked whether you'd recommend SF to someone today, this conversation gives you the honest calculus: what you gain in discipline, composure, and leadership, and what it costs in time, predictability, and patience. If this resonated, tap follow, share it with a Defender, and drop a comment with the one change that would keep more cops in uniform.

God designed Adam and all men for loving leadership. However, sin introduced selfish passivity that distorted manhood. The remedy is true restoration found only in Jesus, the second Adam.

Is a newborn baby more likely to resemble mom or dad – or is it a toss-up? This episode begins by explaining why a baby is more likely to look like one parent and not the other and why that is. https://www.nytimes.com/2005/03/22/health/the-claim-babies-tend-to-look-like-their-fathers.html When people talk about the “culture” – why do they mean? What is culture. You probably use the word in conversation and you have a sense of what it means but it is actually a difficult word to define. Here to define it and explain why it is so important to understand what culture is and how it changes is Marcus Collins. He is a clinical assistant professor of marketing at the Ross School of Business, at the University of Michigan and recipient of Advertising Age's 40 Under 40 award. He is also author of the book, For the Culture: The Power Behind What We Buy, What We Do, and Who We Want to Be (https://amzn.to/3tOT4On). It is a little strange that there is such a fitness craze in America yet so many people are not physically fit at all. The medical evidence is pretty clear that being physically fit and keeping your weight under control is so important to a long and healthy life. So why are so many people not motivated to do it and how can you find the motivation to start if you are not feeling inclined? Joining me to talk about this is Natalia Petrzela. She is an historian of contemporary American politics and culture as well as a fitness instructor and she is author of the book Fit Nation: The Gains and Pains of America's Exercise Obsession (https://amzn.to/48V5LGb) Is it ever too late to change your life or must you set your course early if you are ever to make something of yourself? Interestingly, researchers followed 350 students for decades – all the way into adulthood to see how they turned out. Listen as I explain how people tend to change and how those goof-offs you remember from high school are likely to end up doing pretty well.

uest Author: Paul GregoryHeadline: Isolation and Rage: The Oswalds' Summer of StruggleSummary: The Oswalds lived in poverty, with Marina isolated and lacking essentials like a baby carriage. Tensions erupted during a dinner with the "Dallas Russians" when Lee aggressively defended the Soviet Union, alienating the community that was trying to assist his secluded wife.Article: During the summer of 1962, Paul Gregory observed the Oswalds' meager living conditions, noting their only coffee table book was a Time magazine featuring President Kennedy, a man both seemingly admired at the time. Lee's deep resentment surfaced during a dinner with the Dallas Russian community when he argued fiercely about the Soviet Union, leading the group to realize he was dangerously isolating Marina, especially after his pride was wounded when they gifted her a baby carriage she desperately needed.

According to The Concise Oxford English Dictionary, the most common use of the name “Jesus,” is as a vulgarity. Secondly, it is an exclamation expressing surprise, impatience, etc. The name of Jesus can also be used to refer to the founder of Christianity. Pastor Colin talks about God's answer to this.

Growing up with labels like "too emotional," "overreacting," or "ice queen," and now struggling to understand what you actually feel as an autistic or AuDHD adult?

Sometimes, the greatest breakthroughs come not in moments of triumph, but in the quiet unraveling of everything we thought we had figured out. In this powerful solo episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius Mirshahzadeh takes us deep into a personal journey that reshaped his life.
