She talks about the accident that changed her life, the long road of recovery, her faith, and who we can become when familiar roles and abilities are taken away.Susan Swenson's life was dramatically altered by a serious car accident. Her long recovery from traumatic brain injury, neurological damage, and cancer deepened her Christian faith and eventually led her to establish PEMF Nebraska. Swenson's story is one of athletic discipline, family, faith, suffering, healing, and an evolving sense of purpose.

Maggie Haberman is one of the most connected reporters to Trump and his world and just released a new book with Jonathan Swan about the first year of Trump's second term. Pat Kahnke and Adam Swenson discuss issues raised during Haberman's recent appearance on the Ezra Klein podcast. We will ask, "Can the white Evangelicals who said Trump was chosen by God STILL justify that belief, given the fruit?"

This year's problem is then how do you translate it into business value." ALEX'S TIP: "AI is amazing. It does just crazy things for reducing time as a rep. But without guardrails in place, it can get you in some hot water if you send something over that's generated and you don't do trust but verify. We've all come through that frame of thought. We have to verify AI."

In the midst of such an ugly timeline, here are a few rays of hope in American politics: Raphael Warnock's faith-informed brand of politics, James Talarico's clear contrast with Ken Paxton in Texas, Jon Ossoff's unmatched communication as he fights for reelection in Georgia, and Pete Buttigieg taking his case straight to Fox News. Pat Kahnke is joined by Adam Swenson to talk about the hopeful messages that are actually resonating with the American people — and why each of these matters right now.

Pat Kahnke and Adam Swenson examine three expressions of the same “theology of strength”: Trump's speech attacking election integrity, Pete Hegseth's mandatory testosterone testing for soldiers over 30, and Doug Wilson's theology of masculine domination. We'll fact-check Trump's claims about election security, Chris Krebs and CISA, the SAVE Act, the SAVE America Act, and mail-in voting. Then we'll connect Hegseth's obsession with military masculinity and lethality to Doug Wilson's Christian nationalist vision of war, hierarchy, and male authority. What happens when power, aggression, and domination are mistaken for Christian virtue?

Graham Platner is out. JD Vance just published a book. And somewhere in between, white evangelicals became the least likely Christians to welcome a stranger. This week, Pat Kahnke and Adam Swenson take apart three stories that share one spine: the gap between what MAGA Christians say they believe and what they actually do. We examine Vance's Communion — his four stated values, the ordo amoris debate, the papal rebuke, and why the immigrants he fears are already filling his own Communion rail. We look at the Platner reckoning as a live Fruit Test: one party moves against its own, one doesn't. And we run the immigration numbers that expose how Christian nationalism has quietly replaced the Great Commission with blood and soil.

A new Johns Hopkins ethnographic study followed 21 Trump voters to answer one question: what does MAGA actually want from democracy? Pat Kahnke and Adam Swenson break down the tension between Jonathan V. Last's read and the study authors' own interpretation — moral disgust or wounded faith? We cover why so many conservatives recoil at the word "democracy," the "Faith, Family, Freedom, Place" moral foundation driving it all, and why "save democracy" messaging keeps failing with MAGA Christians. A theological look at Christian Nationalism, the illiberal core underneath it, and what it means for your MAGA family and friends.

The MAGA project promises to restore a nation built on Christ's teachings — by systematically breaking every one of them. ICE raids. Alligator Alcatraz. Gutted USAID. Slashed Medicare. Banned Pentagon plaques honoring women and minorities. That's not a Christian program. That's heresy with a flag on it. We examine the 1950s nostalgia at the heart of Christian nationalism, who that era was actually great for, and why the evangelical church's wholesale embrace of Donald Trump may be the most self-defeating theological mistake in American history.

Yuval Noah Harari's conversation with Ezra Klein exposes something theologians have been slow to name: MAGA is not a political movement — it's a redemption narrative. And redemption narratives are the most powerful force in human history. Pat Kahnke and Adam Swenson break down what Harari gets right, where theology goes further, and why Christian nationalism has succeeded by replacing the Gospel with a story that feels better than the truth.

We're closing out Part 1 of Season 6 with an episode about something near and dear to our hearts, and oh-so-important in rural and ag communities: mental health.  For Mental Health Awareness Month, Rebecca sits down with therapist Chris Swenson — owner of Rhino Wellness Center and host of the Rhino Resilience podcast — to reframe what strength really looks like in rural communities. (Yes, we know that May is technically Mental Health Awareness Month, but we recorded this episode in May, so it counts, right?) Chris breaks down his four-pillar Rhino Resilience framework, explains mental health as biology (a regulated nervous system with an accelerator and a brake), and shares practical, do-anywhere tools for staying calm and steady. It's a warm, honest reminder about some pretty important things: you can be both strong and struggling, that you're not broken, and that connection is what pulls us out of isolation. About Chris: Chris "Rhino" Swenson is a licensed mental health therapist, speaker, and founder of Rhino Resilience. For more than 20 years, he has worked with rural individuals, families, and communities, helping people build practical resilience skills for the challenges of modern rural life. He hosts the Rhino Resilience Podcast and is passionate about strengthening rural communities from the inside out. In this episode, we cover: Why rural suicide rates run two and a half to three and a half times higher than urban areas (why awareness alone isn't enough without practical next steps) Chris's four pillars of Rhino Resilience and how they redefine strength to include recovery and reaching out (not going it alone) How understanding your nervous system as biology (an accelerator and a brake) can dissolve the stigma around mental health Simple, accessible tools you can practice anywhere — breathwork, micro-resets, and grounding — and why you have to build them before you need them How a single moment can can a life Links + Resources Mentioned: Website: https://rhinoresilience.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCso1ch-Kaa_2IXZPJSZFZoQ FB page: https://www.facebook.com/RhinoResilienceOfficial Podcast: https://rhinoresilience.com/podcast/ Want to get your business in front of our audience?

In this heartfelt episode, Tara sits down with authors Liz Swenson and Alessa Martin to discuss the deeply personal journey behind Trying, a powerful book created to support those navigating infertility, pregnancy loss, and the often-overlooked emotional challenges that accompany them. Liz and Alessa shares the inspiration behind the book, the importance of telling honest stories, and how creating space for these experiences can help individuals feel less isolated in their grief and uncertainty.

Adam Swenson and Pat Kahnke continue their series of discussions on deconstruction - of both religious and political faith. Using Brian McLaren's four stages of faith as a jumping off point, this conversation focuses on the final stage: Harmony. Desmond Tutu is an example we'll talk about today.

Today we're talking about Adam Swenson's article on Stage 3 of Christian faith: Perplexity. And we're using Nick Kristof's article "This Is What Happened When Trump Abandoned the World's Poorest Children" as an example of what happens when the real world takes a wrecking ball to our assumptions.

Consumers are continuing to confront high beef prices at the store. Is the industry closer to helping resolve the imbalance? Stephanie Hoff finds out with the help of Jeff Swenson, meat and livestock specialist, DATCP. Swenson says high cattle prices are leading to larger swings in both directions, influenced by fluctuating harvest rates and packer demand. Despite market volatility, farmers currently hold more leverage than packers, as market-ready cattle remain at a premium. Meat packers are currently struggling with profitability, balancing high cattle costs against wholesale beef cutout values. Feed remains the number one expense for cattle feeders, while fuel and pharmaceutical costs (vaccinations) continue to rise for cow-calf producers.High pasture rents and the initial cost of livestock make it difficult for new farmers to enter the beef industry. Many dairy producers are transitioning to eef as an exit strategy or diversifying their operations with "beef-on-dairy" crossbreeding. While dairy-beef crosses are improving in quality, 100% purebred beef animals still command a price premium. The typical 10-year cattle cycle has been elongated due to drought, resulting in a tighter supply than historically expected at this stage. Rain is drifting across the state today, bringing with it some gusty winds. Stu Muck says that temps should stay above average Sales averages on many implements and tractors remains firm. That's the latest update from Ashley Huhn at the Steffes Group. He is also seeing a surge in interest for fall auctions. Paid for by Steffes Group. Meet Gabrielle Huitema from Markesan! This UW-River Falls grad is another finalist for the 79th Alice in Dairyland position. Huitema has focused most of her college and career experience on humane anmial handling in the slaughter process. She wants to make sure the message gets out that many things go right in the animal handling arena. Wisconsin farmers are almost caught up on spring planting pace. Pam Jahnke provides the latest crop progress update. John Heinberg, market advisor with Total Farm Marketing in West Bend tells Pam Jahnke that most areas of the U.S. are now on par with planting progress. The unfortunate crop right now is wheat. Heinberg also highlights news that the Trump administration intends to allow more beef imports into the U.S. Heinberg says the U.S. is already on a record pace of accepting outside beef, but it's usually much lower quality than what's produced in the U.S. Markets will be watching developments during the meeting of President Trump and China President, Xi JinpingSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What happens to your faith when authority figures stop answering your questions? Pat Kahnke and Adam work through Stage Two of Brian McLaren's stages of faith — a conversation for everyone navigating the space between certainty and collapse. Whether you're deconstructing Christianity, wrestling with faith and doubt, or just trying to stay sane in the age of MAGA theology, this is for you. We're working through two essays: Adam's "Complexity Is What Happens When Authority Figures Stop Answering Your Questions" and David Brooks' New York Times piece "The Shock of Faith" — possibly the most honest account of faith deconstruction written by a public intellectual in years. Brooks describes himself as "a wandering Jew and a very confused Christian." He told a room full of conservatives "you're supposed to boo" — and kept going. That's Stage Two in real time.

President Donald Trump says he is rejecting the latest offer from Iran to end the war with the U.S. and Israel, and the President says he is not complying with the War Powers Act to withdraw U.S. forces after 60 days or get Congressional authorization because no other President has followed that law. His administration is also arguing the 60-day clock stopped with the ceasefire; President Trump has threatened this week to withdraw U.S. troops from Germany and some other European countries whose leaders have been critical of his handling of the war with Iran. We will talk about that with Wall Street Journal National Security Correspondent Michael Gordon (13) ; The President visits The Villages retirement community in Florida to promote new tax provisions that benefit seniors such as 'no tax on Social Security'; President Trump withdraws the nomination of Dr. Casey Means for Surgeon General, who had lost support of pivotal Republican Senators and nominates Dr. Nicole Saphier instead.

In this episode, FarmSafe sits down with Andrea Swenson, director of the National Children's Center for Rural and Agricultural Health and Safety, to discuss the newly updated 2025 National Action Plan for Childhood Agricultural Safety. Drawing on her upbringing on a Wisconsin dairy farm and years of professional experience, Swenson explains why agriculture can be both an incredible developmental opportunity for youth and one of the most hazardous environments they may encounter. The conversation explores why the national plan was updated for the first time since 2012, reflecting major shifts in agriculture such as automation, artificial intelligence, climate-related extreme weather, labor shortages, and changing farm structures. Swenson outlines the plan's seven priority areas: leadership, injury and exposure data, public policy, organizational policy, research, dissemination and implementation, and preparedness for emerging threats. Episode ResourcesNational Action PlanTemplates for model Farm Safety Policies can be found athttps://farms.extension.wisc.edu/articles/a-culture-of-farm-safety-starts-with-a-well-written-policy/https://agriculturaljusticeproject.org/toolkit/resources/safety/ajp-safety-plan/

Biathlon bronze medalist Kari Swenson was on a training run near Big Sky, Montana in the summer of 1984 when she encountered two men with malicious intentions. Kari had just made history with her biathlon relay team when she was abducted and held captive for 18 hours by two self-proclaimed survivalists who wanted to make her a “wife”.

Deconstructing Christianity doesn't mean abandoning the faith — it means finally growing into one. In this video, we walk through Brian McLaren's four stages of faith and ask the question the Evangelical Church doesn't want to answer: why does MAGA Christianity keep getting stuck at Stage One? If you've spent years inside evangelical certainty only to find it collapsing under the weight of real questions, this is for you. Drawing on McLaren's Faith After Doubt, we map the journey from Simplicity through Complexity and Perplexity — and into what a mature, reconstructed faith actually looks like on the other side. Whether you're exvangelical, still inside the church but quietly questioning, or an atheist trying to understand why American Christianity went so sideways — this framework explains it all.

This Deep Dive series revisits some of our past episodes about the joys and the challenges that come with raising kids with differences and disabilities.

Pat Kahnke and Adam Swenson break down new polling data showing Donald Trump and the MAGA movement losing ground with the American public. They examine Trump's approval and disapproval trends, what the numbers reveal about key voter groups, and why more Americans are reacting negatively to the direction of MAGA politics. This conversation explores demographic shifts among younger voters, Black voters, Hispanic voters, and independents, along with the broader cultural and moral fallout surrounding Trumpism. Pat and Adam discuss why the movement increasingly feels exhausting, divisive, and politically corrosive to many Americans.

Balance Your Hormones Naturally with Dr. Alexandra Swenson-Ridley Join the conversation! Send Magic a text here! Dr. Alex is a formerly burnt out, and now retired, chiropractor and 7 figure business owner known for setting figurative fire to the business which, at the height of its success, became like a prison to her. She learned a lot of hard lessons in the process, including healing from an eventual bankruptcy and the physical and emotional after effects of burnout as the universe tried to get her to pay attention and redirect her professional path from the one she was on. On the other side of unearthing layers of trauma from the career and business she was supposed to love, but that led her to build a business and a quality of life she didn't really want, she developed what she calls the RISE method. She now helps other women heart-centered entrepreneurs work through their own RISE journey so that they can transform their experience from one of sacrifice and burnout, to unadulterated joy and passion. In our conversation today, we'll talk about hormone regulation and the effect of hormones on womens' health, wealth, and weight.
