In this episode, Nathan and Cameron dive deep into the theological roots of radical individualism in this thought-provoking episode of Thinking Out Loud, unpacking why the cultural forces shaping the trans movement are best understood through the lens of Western hyper-individualism rather than Marxism. Drawing from Scripture, church history, political philosophy, and personal stories, they challenge Christians to examine the subtle ways individualism forms all of us—and to rediscover a biblical, relational vision of identity rooted in Christ and community. This rich, accessible conversation is ideal for Christians seeking serious theological reflection on current events, cultural tensions, and the church's witness in a fragmented age.DONATE LINK: https://toltogether.com/donate BOOK A SPEAKER: https://toltogether.com/book-a-speakerJOIN TOL CONNECT: https://toltogether.com/tol-connect TOL Connect is an online forum where TOL listeners can continue the conversation begun on the podcast.

Surprising you like a good ol' jump scare, the Atari and Apogee partnership rolls on with a shadow drop of Total Chaos on PC and consoles yesterday, November 20th. This one comes from the one-man shop, Sam Prebble/Trigger Happy Interactive, and is a follow-up to the commercial and critical success, Turbo Overkill. What you may not know is that Total Chaos came first, starting as a Doom 2 mod before being remade in its current terrifying form. I'm not going to spoil any more than that here, as Sam was kind enough to join me and Apogee's Jeron Moore to dive into his game dev journey and all things Total Chaos.

Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com launches into Health & Wellness Wednesday with energy, humor, and hard-earned wisdom. Attorney Michael Bailey (https://michaelbaileylawllc.com) joins John Rush to unpack the hidden urgency of end-of-year planning. Why do families wait until tragedy strikes before putting vital documents in place? And how much chaos, stress, and financial strain could be avoided with one simple phone call? Michael reveals the timelines, the pitfalls, and the holiday-season crunch most people never see coming—until it's too late. Then lifestyle creator Shanisty Ireland (https://shesbecomingdomestic.com) steps in with Thanksgiving survival tactics. Want to know the freezer-friendly casseroles that save hours? The one thawing mistake that can ruin your turkey? Shanisty shares time-saving tricks, kid-friendly dishes that turn a stressful holiday into a joyful one. Finally, wellness expert Julie E. (https://julieehealth.com)enters with a surprise topic: scar tissue as an overlooked root cause of chronic health struggles. Could those “old dents” in the body silently drain your energy and disrupt hormones? Hour 1 ends with questions you didn't even know you needed to ask—setting up a compelling deep-dive into hidden health truths. HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush to Reason opens with author and leadership expert Richard Battle (https://RichardBattle.com), who reveals a surprising source of wisdom: the childhood song Old MacDonald Had a Farm. Could the familiar E-I-E-I-O actually contain timeless leadership secrets about example, instruction, inspiration, and optimism? Richard shows how these simple principles can rebuild teams, restore vision, and expose the insecurity that keeps modern leaders stuck. From there, the show pivots into breaking news and online frenzy as John Rush unpacks the mysterious lights seen over Colorado. Were they UFOs? A secret government test? Or something far more ordinary? John exposes how quickly conspiracies grow—and why AI-generated videos and fabricated content make truth harder to spot than ever. Finally, Sonny Kutcher of Young Americans Against Socialism (https://www.yaas.org/ ) joins John to break down a razor-thin 5–4 Supreme Court decision granting President Trump sweeping authority to target cartel members as foreign terrorist organizations. Is this a turning point in the border crisis—or the beginning of a political earthquake? Hour 2 blends leadership insight, cultural tension, and breaking-news urgency into a sharp, energizing hour of radio you won't want to miss. HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush to Reason opens with John reflecting on more than a decade behind the mic—and the nonstop learning that comes with it. But the hour quickly pivots to a hard look at Colorado's Front Range, fueled by listener messages pouring in about $2.29 Costco top-tier gas, public-school frustrations, and an explosive question: Why is Denver no longer one of America's most desirable cities to move to? John dives headfirst into the region's homelessness surge, criticizing weak leadership and policies that make life easier for those choosing the streets and harder for everyone else. Is homelessness now spreading from Denver into Castle Rock, Cheyenne, and every once-quiet suburb in between? And is failed governance—not economics—driving families and businesses away? The hour then shifts gears as Wall Street strategist Scott Garliss of Bent Pine Capital (https://x.com/CScottGarliss) joins the show. Together, they unpack a jittery week on Wall Street: Michael Burry's harsh warnings about AI stocks, fears over rising car-loan defaults, and the Fed's looming interest-rate decisions. But with Nvidia's blowout earnings, is AI truly inflated hype—or a genuine revolution reshaping the economy? Hour 3 mixes economic intrigue, political fire, and real-world concerns into a fast-moving, thought-provoking conversation you won't want to miss.

Mike Bird, the Wall Street editor of The Economist, joins Cardiff to discuss his new book, The Land Trap: A New History of the World's Oldest Asset.By one estimate, the value of land makes up roughly a third of all the wealth in the entire world. Add the houses and commercial buildings on top of the land and the total value is almost two-thirds. And according to Mike, land “defies some of the usual laws of capitalism that apply to other goods and assets.” Its supply is fixed, it is immobile, and it neither decays nor depreciates. These special qualities have given land its fascinating history. They're also the reason that so many economies end up in what Mike refers to as the land trap.Mike and Cardiff discuss: The definition of a land trapWhy booming land values are a problem while they're rising and not just because they often set the stage for a bustHow land affects older, established companies differently than newer, innovative businesses — and why that matters for the economy The perverse incentives that rising land values can have on a nation's economyThe land histories of America, China, Hong Kong, Japan, and Singapore Land reform and the development of low-income countries The lessons of Singapore And more!

Some years ago, we took a delegation of teenagers to a youth conference at the Jersey Shore, and one of our volunteers was one of the counselors. One evening she left the meeting early to check on one of the kids from our group. She started walking down the Boardwalk. Suddenly she hears this cry for help from the water down below. She realized that a girl was out there in that dark ocean about to drown. So she yelled for others to come, she pulled off her shoes and she jumped into the water. She knew this was a life-or-death situation, and she said, "I just had to do something." Pretty soon a couple of men jumped in to help her and together they were able to rescue that young woman. And you know what? Our friend realized the real reason she had been out on the Boardwalk that night. Much to her surprise, she had literally been placed there to save a life! I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "The Surprising Reason You Are Where You Are." Now our word for today from the Word of God comes from the amazing story of Esther, which is told in the book in the Bible that carries her name. Esther was a young Jewish woman who was in Persia as part of the Jews who had been brought there when the Persians conquered her people. But through an amazing series of events, she becomes the Queen of Persia, the wife of the most powerful man in the world, but no one knew she was a Jew. When a power-mad member of the king's court engineered this royal decree to have the Jews annihilated, the man who raised Esther sent her a message, challenging her to use her access to the king to save her people. To do so, she would literally have to risk her life because the law required that anyone who came to the king uninvited - even the queen - would be put to death unless the king extended his golden scepter to spare them, and Esther had not been summoned by the king for a month. The challenge Esther receives is in our word for today from the Word of God, Esther 4:14, and it may very well be the challenge that our Savior has for you at this point in your life. Here it is. "Who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?" In other words, God has placed you where you are, not just to enjoy the benefits of your position, but to save lives! Have you considered that maybe that's the same reason you've been positioned where you are? You work where you work, you live where you live, you go to school where you go to school, you do what you do because God has assigned you there to be those people's link to Jesus! Some years ago, my friend Gary was talking with a woman whose dad teaches at one of America's military academies. This woman was really spiritually burdened for her dad. Gary knows a lot of influential people and he offered to call the then-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to invite her dad to an upcoming adult outreach. Or, he said, "I'll even call a Christian cabinet member I know in this administration." But to my friend's surprise, this woman said, "No, that won't work." Gary asked her what would work - who could get through to her father. Her answer? "Another professor. Someone like him." That's probably how the people around you are going to be reached for Christ - through someone who does what they do, lives where they live, faces what they face. And for the people around you, that would be you. I don't know what you think of when I say the word "evangelist" - probably someone preaching on a crusade platform - but I hope you'll start to think of the man or woman in the mirror. Because all that is, is someone who carries the Good News of Jesus to people who need Him. Of all of the millions of God's children, you're the one He has positioned to rescue the people around you. And where you are is your stretch of the beach and you're His designated lifeguard. Like a young woman near the ocean that night, like that Jewish girl placed in a strategic spot, you've been placed where you are to save someone who is dying - eternally if they die without Christ. You're not there just to enjoy your spot. You are there to save lives!

The hotel development story in Europe and the Middle East tells a very different story from the U.S. — especially when it comes to luxury, construction timelines, and where brands see real long-term opportunity. I connected with Bruce Ford, SVP at Lodging Econometrics, to break down the latest pipeline numbers across Europe and the Middle East: luxury dominance, delays, conversions, and why so many projects now push out toward 2027–2028. On #NoVacancyNews, Bruce explains what's fueling the surge in full-service and luxury projects, why construction timelines remain stretched, and how the Middle East continues building entire districts — not just hotels.

“People may forget what you said, but they'll never forget how you made them feel.” And how we make people feel is almost always the result of one small choice. “You can't do much about the length of your life, but you can do something about its width and depth.” - Jeffrey R. Holland "The fastest way to be liked is to like first." - Lee Brower "Judgement looks for flaws: leadership looks for value."

Year-End Giving Reminder:  The last few weeks of the year are when most charitable giving happens — people feel more generous, tax benefits kick in for those who itemize, and many folks use year-end bonuses or appreciated stock to support causes they believe in. It's the perfect moment to make a meaningful impact, especially with an organization that stretches every donor dollar farther than you ever could on your own.   Why United Way Might Be One of the Smartest Ways to Give Back To Business Monday You know how I like to start a Monday: a little caffeine, a little optimism, and a whole lot of "let's get back to business." And today's business? The business of helping people — and why the United Way may be one of the most effective ways to do that in your own backyard. I sat down with David Rabin, CEO of the Greenwich United Way, and even though we talked about his local chapter, the lessons apply EVERYWHERE — because what he shared is an example how United Ways across the country (and the world!) operate. The Big Picture: United Way is a massive global network with: • 1,200 local United Ways • Serving 1,800 communities • Across 40 countries Each community has its own United Way chapter focused on local needs — and that local focus is what makes the entire model powerful.   Why United Way Might Be a Better Choice Than Donating to One Charity Directly This was the "aha!" moment for me — and it applies no matter where you live. 1. United Way does the homework you don't have time for. They review each nonprofit's tax returns, audited financials, budgets, spending, and program data with a fine-tooth comb. They uncover inefficiencies and issues most donors would never spot. 2. They maximize your impact by giving where the greatest needs actually are. Local needs change constantly — mental health, childcare, housing, literacy, food insecurity — and United Way chapters run formal needs assessments to know exactly where donor dollars matter most. 3. One donation supports the entire ecosystem of help in your community. Instead of supporting one organization, your gift can strengthen dozens of essential local programs — the ones people rely on when life gets hard. 4. They build solutions when none exist. For example, in Greenwich, CT the local United Way partnered with the hospital to create a youth mental-health program where no such resource existed before. That kind of long-term, structural change is happening in communities all over the country.   A Greenwich, CT Example That Applies Anywhere David shared that even in a wealthy town like Greenwich, nearly one-third of residents are living in poverty or are one paycheck away from trouble. Surprising, right? That's the point. Every community — even the ones that look well-off — has people struggling quietly. United Way chapters exist to find those hidden needs and do something about them.   A Final Thought from Your "Dealer in Hope" I love shining a light on the people doing good in the world and this conversation was a beautiful reminder that real impact doesn't happen in headlines — it happens in communities, one need at a time. Wherever you live, your local United Way is probably out there doing the heavy lifting you never see… making sure kids can read, families can access mental-health care, seniors have support, and struggling neighbors get help before they fall through the cracks. So, if you're thinking about year-end giving — and wondering who deserves your "deductible dollars" — United Way might be a pretty great place to start.   To learn more about United Way in your community:  unitedway.org If you want to learn more, donate, volunteer, or get involved in the Greenwich, CT United Way: greenwichunitedway.org 203-869-2221 And to hear the full conversation with David Rabin, CEO Greenwich United Way click play on the podcast and soak up the good energy.

What if you fall in love on the brink of death? Singing Through Fire (Isaiah 4320 Press, 2025) invites readers into the Job-like true story of a young woman who loses everything-and dares to ask why a good God allows it. When Stanford Law graduate Lara Palanjian collapses on her dream job, she never imagines it will lead to four years bedridden-or to the love of her life. Enter Matthew Silverman: a witty, wise, and impossibly joyful youth pastor and professor facing terminal cancer. What begins with a few random encounters soon ignites an extraordinary, God-written love story that neither of them saw coming. As their unlikely romance unfolds between medical crises, late-night laughter, and unexpected musical performances, Matthew's unshakable faith challenges everything Lara thinks she knows about God's goodness-and what it means to walk with Christlike faith, resilience, and joy in the face of overwhelming grief and suffering. But with time against them, one question looms louder than the rest: What if this gift is only for a moment? Surprisingly funny and spiritually rich, Singing Through Fire is a modern-day "Job meets Lucille Ball." It explores what it means to suffer, love, and even laugh and make music while your life is burning down around you. It eloquently gives voice to the aching questions many sufferers quietly carry-then takes readers inside the breathtaking story of two people who found miraculous love and defiant joy amid heartbreaking loss. It reveals how God can use even our deepest pain to write the most beautiful love stories-even on the cusp of eternity.Find and follow Lara on IG: here Learn more about your ad choices.

Do you ever feel like gratitude is overrated? Or do you get angry at the thought of being grateful when you're going through a tough time? If gratitude feels fake, forced, or like you're denying reality, you are not the problem. The method is. Gratitude isn't about pretending everything is okay. It's a science-backed mental strength tool, and today we're going to make it practical and useful, even for the biggest skeptics. You can learn how to practice it without it feeling like a chore or crossing over into toxic positivity. Some of the things I share are: How understanding the real purpose of gratitude can help you retrain your mind — and change what you focus on every day. How uncovering your brain's natural negativity bias can unlock the power of gratitude — even if you're a skeptic. Surprising micro-practices you can try in just 60 seconds — and why these tiny shifts can create real change, no matter how busy or skeptical you are. Ways to let gratitude exist right alongside pain — and how it can actually help you weather your hardest moments. How to recognize the hidden risks of toxic positivity — and what you can do to protect yourself from it while still finding genuine gratitude. How adding just one word to your self-talk can completely change the way you see your challenges. Easy ways to weave gratitude into your routine without piling on extra tasks or taking up more of your day.

On this week's episode, I'm rejoined by Chris Yogerst, author of the new book from the University of New Mexico's “Reel West” series on The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. We discussed the making of the film, its place in the western canon as a sort of natural ending point for the traditional westerns made by John Wayne and John Ford, and the surprisingly political nature of the film's central struggle between the frontier and civilization. If you enjoyed the episode, check out the book (or pick up the pristine 4K, on which Paramount did a fine job of making the film look good as new). And make sure to share it with a friend!

PREVIEW The conversation explores the surprising rise in accommodation between the Trump administration (Trump 2) and Pakistan, contrasting sharply with the previous term when Trump famously accused Pakistan of "lies and deceit." Pakistan's de facto ruler, General Asim Munir, has had two White House meetings, and Trump calls him his "favorite field marshal." Meanwhile, India, now hit with high tariffs (50%), has moved into the "back row," while Pakistan enjoys a low 19% tariff rate. Guest: Sadanand Dhume. 1914 KARACHI

Are fermented foods the missing link in our health, or just the latest wellness trend?  In this episode, Professor Tim Spector, a world-leading scientist in gut health and co-founder of ZOE, challenges what we think we know about yogurt, cheese, kombucha, and more. Tim uncovers why milk and cheese aren't the same in your body - and the surprising science showing cheese might not be the heart villain it was once made out to be. He also shares emerging evidence that fermented foods could influence inflammation, immunity, metabolism, and even mood, often in a matter of weeks. From a groundbreaking Stanford study to insights from ZOE's research on 9,000 people, this episode reveals why fermented foods are more powerful, and more misunderstood, than most of us realise. Tim breaks down the easiest ways to actually eat more fermented foods without overhauling your life. By the end, you'll be questioning what's in your fridge - and wondering if one tiny daily habit could do far more than you'd ever expect. Unwrap the truth about your food

Consider this a candid pre-op diary with zero politics and full transparency, plus details on the documentary she is filming of the entire recovery. If you are curious about perimenopause symptoms, HRT delivery methods, and GLP-1 risk conversations, this one will save you time and stress.

What if secret societies have been controlling the world from the shadows since the dawn of civilization? In this explosive interview of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Richard B. Spence — Professor Emeritus of History at the University of Idaho, expert on espionage, secret societies, and occultism, and co-host of the hit podcast Strange As It Seems — pulls back the curtain on the hidden organizations that may have shaped history, politics, and even the founding of the United States itself. Dr. Spence breaks down the benefits of being in a secret society (and why you should care, even if you'd never join one), whether ancient secret orders have influenced the rise and fall of empires, how modern politics is subtly manipulated by groups we don't even realize exist, and the psychological and mystical appeal that keeps these societies alive. He discusses whether secret societies help dangerous leaders rise to power, including shocking theories around Hitler's rise, the true definition of "the occult", why many secret orders are accused of Satan worship or dark rituals, the most active and influential secret societies today, and how new ones are forming online in the digital age. Dr. Richard B. Spence also reveals: - Surprising parallels between ancient orders and modern Greek life (fraternities and sororities) - Origins and influence of the Freemasons: were the Founding Fathers truly Freemasons, and what ideals did they embed into this country's DNA? - How secret societies evolve, and why some are actually designed as self-improvement programs - Why these organizations can become “petri dishes for nefarious actions”, sparking revolutions and even government overthrows - Why these groups have historically been male-dominated, and the surprising stories of female and even child secret societies - How intelligence agencies may manufacture conspiracy theories as tools of psychological warfare - Difference between misinformation vs. disinformation, and how each is weaponized - Are modern day government agencies like the CIA really just secret societies with better branding? - Fine line between secret societies, cults, and religions, and how they manipulate loyalty and belief - Why it's harder than ever to tell truth from deception, especially in the age of AI-generated misinformation - And finally…could the MAGA movement itself be considered a modern-day cult? This deep dive will make you question everything you thought you knew about power, control, and truth.

What if secret societies have been controlling the world from the shadows since the dawn of civilization? In this explosive interview of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Richard B. Spence — Professor Emeritus of History at the University of Idaho, expert on espionage, secret societies, and occultism, and co-host of the hit podcast Strange As It Seems — pulls back the curtain on the hidden organizations that may have shaped history, politics, and even the founding of the United States itself. Dr. Spence breaks down the benefits of being in a secret society (and why you should care, even if you'd never join one), whether ancient secret orders have influenced the rise and fall of empires, how modern politics is subtly manipulated by groups we don't even realize exist, and the psychological and mystical appeal that keeps these societies alive. He discusses whether secret societies help dangerous leaders rise to power, including shocking theories around Hitler's rise, the true definition of "the occult", why many secret orders are accused of Satan worship or dark rituals, the most active and influential secret societies today, and how new ones are forming online in the digital age. Dr. Richard B. Spence also reveals: - Surprising parallels between ancient orders and modern Greek life (fraternities and sororities) - Origins and influence of the Freemasons: were the Founding Fathers truly Freemasons, and what ideals did they embed into this country's DNA? - How secret societies evolve, and why some are actually designed as self-improvement programs - Why these organizations can become “petri dishes for nefarious actions”, sparking revolutions and even government overthrows - Why these groups have historically been male-dominated, and the surprising stories of female and even child secret societies - How intelligence agencies may manufacture conspiracy theories as tools of psychological warfare - Difference between misinformation vs. disinformation, and how each is weaponized - Are modern day government agencies like the CIA really just secret societies with better branding? - Fine line between secret societies, cults, and religions, and how they manipulate loyalty and belief - Why it's harder than ever to tell truth from deception, especially in the age of AI-generated misinformation - And finally…could the MAGA movement itself be considered a modern-day cult? This deep dive will make you question everything you thought you knew about power, control, and truth. TUNE IN to MBB to discover why the line between myth, conspiracy, and history might be thinner than you think… Dr. Richard B.
