"I recently had a conversation with my teen son about how words he (and everyone else) uses regularly were not considered ok when I was growing up. Can you speak to how language has changed and what is and isn't acceptable? I generally go back to the Bible saying not to use coarse or filthy language (Ephesians and Colossians) when redirecting him but when everyone is using it maybe it's not how I view it anymore? We also discussed how much more we're exposed, essentially desensitizing us. When you're looking at reels or shorts you can't tell if it's coming. I think I said something along the lines of, "My phone is always swearing at me!" My family says I'm sensitive but it just bothers me where we are now. Why can't we just use appropriate language? And is there a good way to handle this?" - Christal Click Here --> A Parent's Guide to Profanity This podcast is entirely Q&A based! Send in your questions to ask@axis.org.

Did former VP Kamala Harris give Mayor Moreno a little too much to remember during the Oath of Office?
It's a midterm election year and the Ohio governor's seat is up for grabs as there is no incumbent. The presumptive nominees for the two major parties finalized their tickets this week. Presumptive Republican nominee Vivek Ramaswamy, the businessman and former presidential candidate and Department of Government Efficiency partner, selected Senate President Rob McColley of Northwest Ohio as his running mate. Dr. Amy Acton chose the former leader of the Ohio Democratic Party -- and an active fly in the Republican ointment on social media, David Pepper. Get ready for the Doctor....Pepper campaign. State and local health experts urge us to get a flu shot, even though the shot doesn't seem to be matched up well with the current strain of virus. Flu cases are on the rise statewide and in Northeast Ohio, flu-related hospitalizations doubled this week, according to an Ideastream report. Year-over-year cases are higher as well and we are still several weeks away from peak flu season. And we've got measles to worry about, too. Three kids in Cuyahoga County have them. The East Cleveland City School District is riding high after being released last month from state oversight, which had been in place for more than seven years. Gov. Mike DeWine spent much of the week refuting what he called disinformation spread on social media alleging fraud in the state's day care system. The online videos specifically target day cares run by Somali immigrants. Ohio has the second largest population of Somalis in the nation. Police in Akron bring their own long guns to work, but Akron's mayor says they should use only department-issued weapons. He inserted that new rule in the capital budget he submitted to city council this week. The issue of personal long guns has become a concern for community members after 15-year-old Jazmir Tucker was shot dead by an officer using his own gun in 2024. Swearing in for Cleveland's smaller sized city council happened this week, and grumbling about leadership followed not long after. The council, slimmed down to 15 from 17 due to population declined, features 3-new members -- and one returning member who cast a no vote on a perfunctory approval of council's rules, saying leadership does not seek broad input from its members.

City of Reading - Swearing-In Ceremony - January 1, 2026
In this engaging Ask Away episode, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe fields practical and profound questions from participants:Swearing on a non-Jewish Bible in court: In the U.S., one can "affirm" (not swear) under penalty of perjury, avoiding oaths prohibited by Torah; bringing a Chumash is ideal but not required.Cohen status: Transmitted only patrilineally; a Cohen father's daughter does not pass Cohen status to her son.Yom Kippur and Rosh Chodesh coinciding: Impossible, as Yom Kippur is fixed on 10 Tishrei while Rosh Hashanah (1 Tishrei) is always Rosh Chodesh (but overrides it as a greater celebration).Asking Hashem for specific signs: Perfectly permissible and powerful—Hashem responds to sincere, simple requests.Eating in a kosher-keeping but non-Shabbat-observant home: Delicate; Shabbat observance generally indicates reliability in other areas, but during growth transitions, caution is advised to avoid offense.Visualizing during prayer: Avoid images (risking idolatry roots); focus on standing alone under the heavens before Hashem's throne, or the personal intensity of addressing the King of Kings directly.The episode blends halachic precision with inspirational stories, emphasizing prayer as intimate conversation with Hashem, sensitivity in relationships, and viewing challenges as opportunities for growth.Please submit your questions at askaway@torchweb.org_____________The Everyday Judaism Podcast is dedicated to learning, understanding and appreciating the greatness of Jewish heritage and the Torah through the simplified, concise study of Halacha, Jewish Law, thereby enhancing our understanding of how Hashem wants us to live our daily lives in a Jewish way._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Marshall & Doreen LernerDownload & Print the Everyday Judaism Halacha Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RL-PideM42B_LFn6pbrk8MMU5-zqlLG5This episode (Ep. #80) of the Everyday Judaism Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Marshall & Doreen Lerner!

A brand-new study shows what we all intuitively knew, sometimes letting it rip with a good curse word makes you tougher. Researchers found that swearing can boost physical performance and increase pain tolerance, a real-world psychological edge the elites don’t want to admit exists. Grant digs into why this matters, how mental intensity translates into physical results, and why the “politeness police” hate the idea that raw emotion can actually make you stronger. Then we break down a massive development coming out of President Trump’s health team. Dr. Harvey Risch, long targeted by the medical establishment for challenging their narratives, has been appointed to the Trump Cancer Panel. This is a game-changer. Risch is a believer in ivermectin as a potential cancer treatment, and his inclusion signals a seismic shift away from the pharmaceutical cartel’s control and toward real innovation and honesty in medicine. https://Twc.Health/Grant (Use Grant for 10% Off) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
On the Dec 30 edition: Georgia is slated to receive more than $200 million next year to bolster rural health; newly elected Public Service Commission member Alicia Johnson made history yesterday with her swearing-in ceremony; and a recent study from the University of Georgia is shedding light on the use of CBD among college students.
Hosts Adolph Mongo, Allan Lengel and Jim Nardone talk about the health benefits of swearing, the fan and the Pittsburgh Steeler player who got into a tiff, and Mayor Mike Duggan's chances of becoming Michigan's next governor.
Reviewing rugby in 2025 with Harry Jones. In this podcast my @megafoonrugby colleague to talk scrums, Springboks and South America - the biggest storylines of rugby in 2025. Harry leads the debate on how rugby tried to kill drums, but the Springboks said no. I then bring up the contrasting conversations between rugby in North America and South America - how does the sport solve this conundrum? Harry then brings up the Lions tour and, perhaps more poignantly, what it means for Australia. Are they a team in limbo under Joe Schmidt and will Les Kiss be any better? Was their revival anything more than a flash in the pan? Next we chat about rugby journalism, where is it headed? Will the old-school written press continue to dominate the press conferences and the media rooms, or will YouTubers and podcasters take over? Who is better, for the fans, players and the sport? Finally, Harry and I debate (fiercely) whether or not the current day Springboks have overtaken the mighty 2015 All Blacks? Harry thinks yes... I think no!

060: Break Room Banter — Health Insurance, Triggers, and Swearing in a Massage PracticeWelcome to our newest segment: Break Room Banter — a more relaxed, behind-the-scenes corner of the podcast where we pull back the curtain on what's really happening in our practices each week. Think of it as the conversations you'd overhear (or jump into!) while refilling your water bottle between clients.In this episode, we're diving into:Health insurance uncertainty — specifically how the potential government shutdown and the possible loss of health insurance subsidies could impact massage therapists nationwide. We talk through what it means, why it matters, and how we're personally navigating the unknown.Triggers that catch us off guard — because even seasoned therapists have moments where something hits a nerve, and managing those internal reactions is real, ongoing work.Swearing in a massage practice — Is it ever appropriate? When does it help break tension, and when does it cross a line? We share some candid stories and reflections.If you've ever wanted to feel less alone in the daily ups and downs of this profession, Break Room Banter is for you. Pull up a chair, grab a snack, and join us for some honest, messy, and surprisingly comforting conversation.
OMG!! A new Words & Actions episode has landed and we couldn't be more excited! In this start to a six-part series, "The language of…", we look at the language of emotion: in the workplace, in advertising and in online selling. There is a fair bit of swearing, our interview guest tells us about emotional labour, and in the end, your hosts get hit in the feels about a charity ad. Join us for a rollercoaster episode! First we look at a reaction by a company they posted online in response to reviews. This takes us straight to swearing. The work on swearing in another language that Veronika mentions is: Mohammadi, A. N. (2022). Swearing in a second language: the role of emotions and perceptions. Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 43(7), 629-646. Erika then follows up with this experiment about swearing and pain: Stephens, R., Atkins, J., & Kingston, A. (2009). Swearing as a response to pain. Neuroreport, 20(12), 1056-1060. For Matt's point on emotions as categorised according to context, see: Barrett, L. F. (2006). Solving the emotion paradox: Categorization and the experience of emotion. Personality and Social Psychology Review, 10(1), 20-46. Barrett, L. F. (2017). The theory of constructed emotion: an active inference account of interoception and categorization.Social cognitive and affective neuroscience, 12(1), 1-23. Much of advertising is intended to evoke certain emotions to influence purchasing behaviour. Veronika mentions this psychological study on non-commercial advertising: Dillard, J. P., & Peck, E. (2000). Affect and persuasion: Emotional responses to public service announcements. Communication Research, 27(4), 461-495. In the interview, Ningyuan talks about how influencers create communities. It is worth revisiting the notion of "synthetic sisterhood", which was proposed 30 years ago, when printed teenage magazines were still a thing: Talbot, M. (1995). A synthetic sisterhood: False friends in a teenage magazine. In Bucholtz, M., & Hall, K. (eds) Gender Articulated: Language and the socially constructed self (pp. 143-165). Routledge.

Our study continues in Matthew 23 vs. 16. where Dr. Mitchell shares Jesus's stern rebukes and indictments on the religious leaders of Israel.Matthew records these words for us to read and hear. This lesson focuses on the next 4 of these 8 indictments in verses 16 thru 28.These four are:1. Swearing an oath: Lack of distinguishing between the greater and the lesser.2. Tithing: majoring on the minors and minoring on the majors.3. Cleansing outwardly to cover up the sins inwardly.4. Stressing the outward appearance but losing sight of the inward sins.This lesson causes one to discover what the real focus is in life, both the known and the unknown. We appreciate your joining us on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast with Dr. John G. Mitchell. Let's turn to Matthew 23:16-28.
It is an honor and a privilege to welcome music producer and songwriter Toby Gad to the first Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast Holiday Special! Toby began his career in the late 1980s, when he and his brother Jens had three of their songs featured on controversial music duo Milli Vanilli's European debut and multi-platinum album, All or Nothing. Because of the songs' success, Milli Vanilli's producer Frank Farian produced the brothers' 1990 debut album, NRG. That same year, Toby met Jacqueline Nemorin, and a 10-year collaboration began with 1992's Creole Dance and continued with 1995's Mission of Love and the title song for Neverending Story III. Following success in Germany, Toby left for the United States. He opened Strawberrybee studio in Midtown Manhattan and co-wrote “Unspoken” with Madeline Stone and O. Hatch for Christian platinum artist Jaci Velasquez. The song stayed on the Christian Billboard Top 20 Singles chart for half a year. In 2003, Toby produced and co-wrote “A Toast to Men” for Willa Ford, and two years later, developed, produced, and co-wrote Kaci Brown's Interscope Records debut, Instigator. He also produced and co-wrote songs for Ricky Martin and the Veronicas. In 2008, his career shifted into high gear after Fergie released a song they co-wrote, “Big Girls Don't Cry.” The song went 4x platinum and peaked at the number one position on the US Billboard Hot 100.

Our words serve as spiritual health monitors, revealing the true condition of our hearts. Jesus teaches that just as a tree is known by its fruit, our inner spiritual condition is revealed through our outward words and actions. The Pharisees focused on external appearances while neglecting internal transformation, living an outside-in faith rather than inside-out. Genuine character isn't about trying harder but training wisely and becoming a Yes, Lord person who surrenders completely to God. Our words don't just slip out - they overflow from what's stored in our hearts, and we'll be held accountable for every careless word we speak.

In this message from The Seven Woes series, Pastor Eric unpacks what Jesus meant when He warned the religious leaders about “swearing” and taking oaths. We often think fixing our swearing means cleaning up our vocabulary, but Jesus is actually inviting us to examine how we use God, our words, and our promises. This episode challenges us to be people whose “yes” means yes, whose “no” means no, and whose lives reflect the God who always keeps His word.
