Send us a textApril Thacker joins us to share her extraordinary journey from childhood spiritual encounters to becoming a professional psychic medium. Having experienced near-death moments as a young child, April recalls seeing a crystal village and feeling surrounded by love – early glimpses into the spiritual realm that would later become her calling.Most fascinating is April's account of the "Hat Man" – a shadowy figure in a hat and trench coat that visited her as a child. This wasn't just imagination; the Hat Man is a documented phenomenon reported by people worldwide, though his purpose remains mysterious. These early encounters initially frightened April into shutting down her abilities until divine timing intervened when she met her future mother-in-law – a woman raised by gypsies who practiced tarot reading.The conversation takes an illuminating turn as April describes how trauma healing unlocked her mediumship abilities. Courageously sharing her experiences with childhood abuse, alcoholism in her family, and sexual trauma, April demonstrates how these painful experiences became tools for helping others. Whether you're curious about developing your own intuitive abilities or seeking inspiration in healing past wounds, April's story offers both practical guidance and profound hope. To learn more about April or to work with her:Visit her website: sacreddreamer.simdif.comFollow her on TikTokClairvoyaging is now a fiscally sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a 501(c)(3) charity, so any donations are now tax deductible.

"And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may approve what the will of God is, that which is good and pleasing and perfect." (Romans 12:2) Linda beautifully summarizes what we need to do to follow this instruction.

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “But the righteous will live by faith.” (Romans 1:16-17) Join us as we continue our study of the book of Romans with these powerful verses.

In this second installment of our study in the book of Romans, (1:18-15) Paul expresses his sincere desire to visit the believers in Rome. As he expresses the reasons why he has been so intent on visiting them, we get a glimpse into the heart and mind of a missionary. Paul was a missionary in every sense of the word, but we are all called to be missionaries. Few of us may travel to other lands, but all of us must carry the "good news" to everyone who will hear. Thus his words are instructive for us, showing us the missionary mindset.

In this electronic age, fewer of us are getting actual letters, but most of us are still old enough to have one or more that we treasure. Maybe they came from someone we love. Maybe they represent a milestone achievement in our lives, or maybe they simply make record of something we need for legal purposes. I don't have a lot of printed letters, but I do have some birthday cards sent by my parents over the years with some meaningful things written in them. My beloved wife and I are firmly planted in the shadow of the shining screen. She may have some things I made for her over the years because I thought they would be meaningful to her, but my record of romance lives in an Outlook folder. Letters have played a significant roll in history. The letters from our country's founders help us to understand what they intended. We have probably all learned in school about Martin Luther King's letter from the Birmingham jail, a powerful defense of nonviolent resistance to racial segregation. But there is one collection of letters that have truly changed the world. Some were written to individuals, others to churches, and others to people in a certain region. We have them in our Bibles. I doubt that any of the writers suspected that two thousand years later we would still be intently studying their correspondence, but God knew. Arguably most significant among these is Paul's letter to the believers in Rome. I have often said that if I could share only part of the Bible, I would want to include two books in particular. I would choose the gospel of Jon because it so clearly shows us who Jesus is. I would choose the letter to the Romans because it explains why that matters and what to do about it. So, with this message, I invite you to join me on a journey through this remarkable book. Honestly I'm a little intimidated by the proposition that I should lead you on this journey. People far more learned than I cannot agree on everything in it, and there is so much! Yet I am drawn to the challenge, and I trust that His Holy Spirit will guide us all as we go. We begin with just the first seven verses of Chapter 1. Paul wastes no ink as he begins right away to lay the foundation for his letter. It is quite a greeting, and from it we can begin to unpack some of the themes he will expound in the rest of the text.

I think many times in church we have approached the subject of money in ways that are harmful even if well-intentioned.  God doesn't need our money.  If we give it to Him from a sense of compulsion or fear, I dare say He doesn't even want it.  But we read in 2 Corinthians 9:6-8 that He loves a cheerful giver.  Motivation has always mattered more to God than material.  He wants our devotion.  When He has that, we will freely and joyfully give Him anything else that He wants.  We will find in so doing that we ill not lack for anything that we truly need.  I share with you some principles that will help us to become cheerful givers.

In our daily conversation, we often speak of life in less than glowing terms. We say that life isn't fair. We describe it as unpredictable and often unpleasant. Yes, unpredictable and unpleasant things happen to us as well as do good things, but these are not the definition of life. Life is a gift from God. Life is good! We are instructed to choose life. What does it mean to choose life? Given the issues of our day, it may be that abortion comes to mind. Certainly choosing life has a very real application in that case. It may also come to mind as we consider the value of life for those who are suffering. We speak of quality of life, but we are not equipped to judge such things. Life belongs to God. Only he is fit to assess its quality. Our ideas about these issues are informed by our relationship with the author of life. In Deuteronomy 30:15-20, we find Moses speaking to the Israelites as they prepare to enter the promised land. They have been given God's law. He has just explained in stark terms the blessings of obedience and the curses of disobedience. Serving Yahweh leads to life. Serving anyone or anything else leads to death. We have largely abandoned pagan idols, but we still worship false gods. We have dispensed with the surrogates and simply worship ourselves. Israel would fall as Moses prophesied that they would, but he also prophesied her redemption, and we know Him as Jesus. Israel could not keep the law, and neither can we. None of us is able to stand before a holy God. We have all sinned and fallen short of Hid glory. Yet because He loves us so, he sent His only son to pay the penalty for our sins. It remains for us to choose the life that He has freely given. When we accept His lordship over us, we gain His life, and that begins to affect our life choices. We must actively and always choose life. Choose good over evil, life over death, love over indifference. God gives life, and life is good!

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- Democrats continue to battle against the Trump Administration's war on corruption and wasteful spending within the executive branch. Rich wonders: what are they so afraid of? While speaking with CNN, House Oversight DOGE Subcommittee member Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) outlandishly stated that Democrats need to use “actual weapons” to fight back against Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency. 6:30pm- Paul Thacker— Investigative Journalist & former Fellow at the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard University—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Wednesday's House Judiciary Committee hearing on federal government corruption and censorship. Thacker notes that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg apologized for complying with the Biden Administration's censorship efforts—but only because he was “caught red handed” and the information was already public knowledge.

Micah 6:8 New International Version: He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. The goal is doing what is best for the person that you are trying to love.

I was once asked why it is that the Lord's name, Yahweh, given to Moses at the burning bush and recorded in Exodus, chapter 3, is not widely used or taught by churches. I suggested that it probably has more to do with tradition and familiarity than anything else. Only recently have we seen some bible translations begin to use it where it is appropriate. But we might not need to make too much of this. The apostles quoted from a Greek translation of the Old Testament that rendered His name the same way most translations still do today. If they didn't make an issue of it, we probably shouldn't either. I think that every Christian should know His name, but there is more to a name than the letters or sounds we used to express it. Yahweh chose His name for it's meaning. When he gives it to Moses, we see this first, “I AM”. There is no better description of Him. He defines existence. He is beyond space and time. He cannot be defined, because he is the definition. In the New Testament, that name never occurs. What happened? In a word, Jesus! In Hebrew His name would be known as Yeshua, or Yashua. That is, Yahweh saves, or Yahweh is salvation. The name didn't go anywhere. It was given to the Son. He Himself said, “before Abraham was, I am.”.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- Dozens of Democrats spoke at a “Nobody Elected Elon” rally in Washington D.C. One notable speaker was Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer who unsuccessfully attempted to lead protesters in a “we won't rest” chant. Meanwhile, Congresswoman LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) encouraged protesters to “shut down” Washington D.C. and told Democrats “we are at war.” 6:30pm- Paul Thacker— Investigative Journalist & former Fellow at the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard University—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Robert Kennedy Jr. advancing out of the Senate Finance Committee, moving one step closer to being confirmed as the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.

Wendy's story is a testament to the benefits of building deep local connections and how these relationships have supported her success. Starting out in the workforce, Wendy worked at Downtown Alive in Greenville, where she was able to hone her skills in event planning, community engagement, and building relationships.

Wendy highlights some of the incredible initiatives ScanSource has spearheaded, from charitable donations to volunteer work, and how the company has made a lasting impact on the people and causes it supports. Throughout the conversation, Wendy shares invaluable career advice for younger professionals—like understanding the value you bring to an organization, knowing that everything is negotiable (to an extent), and how embracing purpose-driven work can lead to personal and professional fulfillment. Whether you're just starting your career or looking to make a bigger impact in your community, this episode is filled with practical wisdom, inspiring stories, and actionable tips.

In this episode, host Raghu Nandakumara sits down with Neil Thacker, CISO EMEA at Netskope. Neil joined the show to discuss the evolving role of the CISO, as well as the challenges and opportunities they face in the context of new technologies.  --------“A good friend of mine is a CIO for a very large organization and he shared a great story. Obviously, during the pandemic, everyone was working remotely and they set up this whole Zero Trust principle and policy set to better secure their remote workers. It was interesting, he said, when everyone started coming back into the office, we realized we had better security when everyone was remote because of the changes that we made. So, we wanted to apply those same principles to our internal network and then we realized, can we just get rid of our internal network, our corporate network?”--------Time Stamps (03:14) The role of the CISO and its evolution(07:59) Challenges and opportunities in the CISO role(21:49) Importance of context in security operations(31:54) Simplifying compliance and driving innovation(45:23) Advice for Aspiring CISOs --------SponsorAssume breach, minimize impact, increase resilience ROI, and save millions in downtime costs — with Illumio, the Zero Trust Segmentation company. Learn more at illumio.com.--------LinksConnect with Neil on LinkedInIllumio World Tour

Generations of college students have probably imagined that his first name was Venerable, and his family name Bede. But Bede–that's B-E-D-E–was his only name. He was a native of Northumbria, in the north of what we now think of as England. Apparently never going abroad, his life was spent within a few miles of his monastery, and probably just a few miles from where he was born. Yet this seemingly narrow and circumscribed life was full of intense intellectual activity. Bede authored dozens of works: teaching texts to be used for young boys entering the monastery, as he had done; biblical commentaries; arithmetical works; sermons and homilies; and lives of Northumbrian saints. Yet when he is remembered by historians, it is for his Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum, An Ecclesiastical History of the English People.  With me to discuss Bede as historian is Rory Naismith, Professor of Early Medieval History and Fellow of Corpus Christi College at the University of Cambridge. This is his third appearance on the podcast; he was last on Historically Thinking in Episode 343 discussing whether we should talk about the Anglo-Saxons.   For Further Investigation This is one of our occasional podcasts on important historians. For others, see this one on Polybius, and this on another medieval historian, Princess Anna Komnene The remnants of the monastery of Monkwearmouth-Jarrow The historical site formerly known as "Bede's World": now Jarrow Hall Anglo-Saxon Farm Village and Bede Museum, reopened after a short closure. FYI, in contemporary Britain it's probably true that Jarrow is best known for the "Jarrow Crusade" rather than for Bede A good companion to Bede is, amazingly enough, J. Robert Wright, A Companion to Bede: A Reader's Commentary on The Ecclesiastical History of the English People Rory Naismith also suggests: Bede, Ecclesiastical History of the English People/Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum: "This is available in very many translations, including those of Bertram Colgrave and D. H. Farmer. A scholarly edition, with facing-page Latin and English, is available from Bertram Colgrave and R. A. B. Mynors." J. Campbell, Essays in Anglo-Saxon History (London, 1986), pp. 1–48 G.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- WSJ Reporter Freed as Part of Russian Prisoner Swap: Drew Hinshaw, Joe Parkinson, and Aruna Viswantha of The Wall Street Journal report: “Russia freed wrongly convicted Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich as part of the largest and most complex East-West prisoner swap since the Cold War, in which he and more than a dozen others jailed by the Kremlin were exchanged for Russians held in the U.S. and Europe, including a convicted murderer. Gershkovich and other Americans left Russian aircraft at roughly 11:20 a.m. ET at an airport in Turkey's capital, Ankara. Gershkovich was then transported to an aircraft lounge on a Turkish bus. Russia had kept the 32-year-old behind bars for more than a year on a false allegation of espionage. It sentenced him in a hurried and secret three-day trial to 16 years in a high-security penal colony.” Rich notes that it's wonderful that Gershkovich has been released but wonders why Pennsylvania school teacher Marc Fogel remains wrongfully imprisoned by Russia? You can read the full article here: https://www.wsj.com/world/russia/evan-gershkovich-free-cde745b3 3:20pm- While speaking to the White House press, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan was asked about the “imbalance” in the Biden-Harris Administration's prisoner swap agreement with Russia—with Russia receiving hardened criminals while the U.S. received wrongfully convicted citizens and journalists. 3:30pm- Paul Thacker— Investigative Journalist & former Fellow at the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard University—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest article for his Substack, The Disinformation Chronicle.

Khelif had previously  been disqualified from participating in women's boxing competitions after testing revealed Khelif possessed XY chromosomes.

It was Trump's first trip to the Keystone State since he was nearly assassinated in Butler, PA. Last night, Trump invited Tiffany Hall—a single mother of four who lives in PA—on stage to discuss how her life, and the lives of her children, have been made more difficult by Bidenomics and the resulting inflation. 4:30pm- Congress Tries to Protect Children Online: The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board writes: “The Senate on Tuesday passed the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), 91-3, and who opposes keeping children safe in the cyber wilderness? While well-intended and useful in some ways, the bill is full of land mines that the House would be wise to clean up…If parents don't want their children spending more than an hour on TikTok a day or playing video games past 8 p.m., they should have the power to stop them. But politicians always want more control, and they say it's unfair to ask parents to supervise children online. Thus the Senate bill would empower the Federal Trade Commission and 50 state Attorneys General to serve in loco parentis and police the platforms. Companies would have a legal ‘duty of care' to design their platforms to prevent harm to minors. This means the FTC could sue platforms if it says their features, including algorithms, harm minors.” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/senate-kids-online-safety-act-house-social-media-regulation-federal-trade-commission-30cfe079?mod=opinion_lead_pos1 4:40pm- Hong Kong Wins Gold in Fencing, Taunts Italy with Pineapple Pizza: John Yoon of The New York Times reports: “Losing an Olympic fencing title bout to the champion from Hong Kong was difficult enough for the Italian. Then came the pizza slander. Cheung Ka Long's triumph over Filippo Macchi of Italy in the gold medal bout in men's foil on Monday has led to a sour fallout that has spilled off the fencing strip: Pizza Hut's Hong Kong and Macao branch has offered free pineapple toppings on its pies as fans on social media praised the combination widely shunned by the losing side.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/30/world/olympics/hong-kong-italy-fencing-pineapple-pizza.html 5:05pm- On Wednesday night, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump held a campaign rally in Harrisburg, PA—his first trip to Pennsylvania since he was nearly assassinated at an event in Butler, PA on July 13th. During the rally, Trump emphasized presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris' far-left policy preferences, including: a ban on fracking, abolishing ICE, and ending private health insurance. Trump also spent time discussing Harris' failed attempt to secure the U.S. Southern border. Trump promised the crowd “We're not going to let her do to Pennsylvania what she did to California. She destroyed San Francisco."—even calling out Soros-funded District Attorneys and explicitly mentioning Philadelphia. 5:25pm- Flashback: In 2016, KCAL 9—a CBS News affiliate in Los Angeles, CA—reported that Kamala Harris was accused of treating her Senate “campaign funds like a personal checking account to fund a life of luxury.” When questioned about the accusations, Harris seemingly conceded that money was misappropriated but blamed it on her campaign manager. 5:35pm- Dr. Victoria Coates—Former Deputy National Security Advisor & the Vice President of the Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the Biden Administration's prisoner swap agreement with Russia. While it's wonderful that Gershkovich has been released, why does Pennsylvania school teacher Marc Fogel remain wrongfully imprisoned in Russia? Dr. Coates fears that because Russia got the better end of this trade deal, it could encourage Vladimir Putin to imprison more Americans. Plus, why isn't the American media paying closer attention to authoritarian Nicolas Maduro's seizure of power in Venezuela? Coates suspects the media is protecting the Biden-Harris Administration for having eased sanctions on Venezuela in exchange for Maduro's empty promise of free and fair elections—which clearly didn't happen. Her upcoming book is: “Winning the War on Israel: Inside the Battle for the Jewish State and America.” 6:05pm- What's So Great About Josh Shapiro?: Jonathan Chait of New York Magazine writes: “Kamala Harris has the luxury of several promising options for her vice-presidential nominee, but the discussion has focused inordinately on Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro. The reason for this, I think, is that Shapiro has some weaknesses that make him distasteful to some potential Harris voters… Democrats have two main sources of concern with Shapiro, one small and one large. The small concern is that he endorsed a school-voucher plan… The more serious criticism centers on his comments on anti-Israel protests since October 7, which he has denounced.” You can read the full article here: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/josh-shapiro-vice-president-moderate-popular-governor-pennsylvania-palestine-kamala-harris.html 6:15pm- Women Don't Want Shapiro: Mary Ann Akers—Deputy Washington Bureau Chief for The Daily Beast—reports: “Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro is the betting favorite to be No. 2 on the Democratic ticket, but his involvement in a sexual harassment coverup may tank his chances. The issue has come to a head, with a little known women's rights organization urging Vice President Kamala Harris to think twice. In a headline blaring: ‘Gov. Shapiro's Failures Enabled Sexual Harassment,' the National Women's Defense League said in a statement that the Harris vetting team should ‘consider the handling of past complaints of sexual harassment inside the Pennsylvania Governor's office.' The group claims to be a nonpartisan organization dedicated to preventing sexual harassment.” You can read the full article here:https://www.thedailybeast.com/womens-group-to-harris-dump-shapiro-over-sex-case-cover-up 6:30pm- Infuriating 9/11 Plea Deal: Jess Bravin of The Wall Street Journal writes: “The Defense Department approved a plea bargain with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two other Guantanamo detainees accused of orchestrating the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks that destroyed the World Trade Center, killed nearly 3,000 people and launched America's 20-year military campaign in Afghanistan. In a Wednesday letter to victims of the attacks, military prosecutors said the three defendants had agreed to plead guilty in exchange for life sentences. Prosecutors had been seeking the death penalty.” You can read the full article here: https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/khalid-sheikh-mohammed-and-two-other-9-11-defendants-agree-to-plea-deal-9b2d1f74?mod=hp_lead_pos8

Buy the book from Polity: https://www.politybooks.com/bookdetail?book_slug=sad-planets--9781509562350Sad PlanetsDominic Pettman, Eugene Thacker“Everything is sad,” wrote the Ancient poets. But is this sadness merely a human experience, projected onto the world, or is there a gloom attributable to the world itself? Could the universe be forever weeping the “tears of things”? In this series of meditations, Dominic Pettman and Eugene Thacker explore some of the key “negative affects” – both eternal and emergent – associated with climate change, environmental destruction, and cosmic solitude. In so doing they unearth something so obvious that it has gone largely unnoticed: the question of how we should feel about climate change. Between the information gathered by planetary sensors and the simple act of breathing the air, new unsettling moods are produced for which we currently lack an adequate language. Should we feel grief over the loss of our planet? Or is the strange feeling of witnessing mass extinction an indicator that the planet was never “ours” to begin with? Sad Planets explores this relationship between our all-too-human melancholia and a more impersonal sorrow, nestled in the heart of the cosmic elements.Spanning a wide range of topics – from the history of cosmology to the “existential threat” of climate change – this book is a reckoning with the limits of human existence and comprehension. As Pettman and Thacker observe, never before have we known so much about the planet and the cosmos, and yet never before have we felt so estranged from that same planet, to say nothing of the stars beyond.Support the Show.Support the podcast:https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/Linktree: https://linktr.ee/acidhorizonAcid Horizon on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/acidhorizonpodcastZer0 Books and Repeater Media Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/zer0repeaterMerch: http://www.crit-drip.comOrder 'Anti-Oculus: A Philosophy of Escape': https://repeaterbooks.com/product/anti-oculus-a-philosophy-of-escape/Order 'The Philosopher's Tarot': https://repeaterbooks.com/product/the-philosophers-tarot/Subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/169wvvhiHappy Hour at Hippel's (Adam's blog): https://happyhourathippels.wordpress.com​Revolting Bodies (Will's Blog): https://revoltingbodies.com​Split Infinities (Craig's Substack): https://splitinfinities.substack.com/​Music: https://sereptie.bandcamp.com/ and https://thecominginsurrection.bandcamp.com/
