Send us Fan MailSpeaking of Women's Health Podcast host Dr. Holly Thacker talks about how your microbiome connects to metabolism, blood sugar stability, satiety, and long-term disease risk. That context matters when you hear the viral phrase “fiber maxing.” Done right, increasing dietary fiber can support steadier energy, healthier cholesterol patterns, improved regularity, and better weight management, especially when your carbohydrates come from whole foods with a lower glycemic impact.Dr. Thacker then discusses the most common infectious diarrhea causes that she sees and teaches on, including viruses that impair fluid absorption, bacteria that can trigger toxin-driven fluid loss, and parasites that often hide behind the label “stomach bug.” She gets specific about Cryptosporidium, Cyclospora, and Giardia: how they spread, what symptoms tend to stand out, why hydration is non-negotiable, and how contaminated water and produce can be the real source of the problem.She also shares practical, food-first ways to increase fiber without bloating: build meals around legumes, add chia or ground flaxseed, swap refined grains for whole grains, keep the skins on potatoes, and rinse, rinse, rinse your fruits and vegetables. She covers how fast to increase fiber (slowly), why you must hydrate, how to balance soluble and insoluble fiber, and when personalization matters.Support the show

Chemical engineer and MoldCo founder Ariana Thacker discusses mold-related illness, including chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS), as a major blind spot in conventional care for chronic, multi-system symptoms. Thacker recounts developing rapid-onset brain fog, slurred speech, GI issues, hair loss, weight gain, and shortness of breath after six and a half months in a moldy Miami apartment, seeing over a dozen specialists who attributed symptoms to stress or anxiety. They discuss exposures beyond allergy (mycotoxins, VOCs, microbial fragments), genetic susceptibility (HLA haplotypes), and prevalence estimates tied to water-damaged homes. The episode covers home detection (sensory/visual checks, humidity, dust PCR/ERMI testing, certified inspectors) and diagnostics/treatment via Shoemaker-related biomarkers and protocols, including low-starch diet guidance and VIP peptide therapy, plus MoldCo's testing and virtual care services.

Christopher Thacker is the founder and CEO of CrewVision, a map-native dispatch platform built for landscape and snow removal companies. He got his start in the industry at 12 years old, shovelling walkways and mowing lawns, and today owns and operates Mr. Mow It All, a roughly $10M property care and snow removal company in Toronto. The business serves as CrewVision's live proving ground, where every feature is tested by real crews, on real routes, under real operational pressure before it ships. CrewVision is built around a simple belief: any crew should be able to service any property, at any time, and know exactly what needs to be done. The knowledge that keeps a company running can't stay trapped in one person's head, one veteran operator's memory, or a pile of job notes. It needs to live on the map, where the people doing the work can actually see it, trust it, and use it. Christopher also serves as Vice Chair of SIMA and is an advocate for field-first software: tools designed around crews in the field, not just managers in the office.

We all know the frustration of prayers that seem to hit the ceiling. When we ask for healing, for provision, for justice, and the answer appears to be silence, it is easy to grow weary and stop asking altogether. But Jesus tells us in Luke 18 that this is exactly when we must not lose heart. In this message, we look at the parable of the persistent widow and the unjust judge. Jesus contrasts a corrupt, self-serving judge who finally grants justice just to stop being bothered, with our heavenly Father who is the only truly just judge. The point is not that God is reluctant and we have to wear Him down. The point is that if even an unjust man will eventually do what is right when pressed, how much more will a perfectly good God bring about justice for His elect who cry to Him day and night? We explore what it means to persist in prayer when our circumstances do not fit our expectations. Prayer is not about imposing our subjective sense of fairness on God or treating Him like a cosmic vending machine. It is about aligning ourselves with His infinite timetable and His perfect definition of what is right. Even when the answer is "no" or "not yet," we are called to keep believing, keep trusting, and keep praying. Prayer is our lifeline to God, and He promises to reward those who seek Him diligently. If you have ever been tempted to give up on prayer, this message is for you. Let us listen to the Word of the Lord.

Supernatural healing can be a touchy subject. Some don't believe God does it anymore. Others think that anyone who is sick must have either unconfessed sin or a lack of faith. The truth is at neither extreme. This week we will have another look at one of those passages that seems to indicate a clear path to healing. We need some context here, so we will consider James 5:13-20.

Every physician faces difficult seasons. But how do you know when it's time to push through and when it's time to consider a different path? In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Melinda Thacker, an ENT surgeon, master coach, TEDx speaker, and host of the Surgeons on Purpose podcast. After experiencing severe anxiety, insomnia, and panic attacks in the operating room, Dr. Thacker embarked on a journey of healing that transformed both her life and her career. Together, we explore how surgeons and clinicians can navigate self-doubt, complications, shame, and career uncertainty with greater clarity, compassion, and purpose. In this episode we're talking about: Dr. Melinda Thacker's personal journey through anxiety, burnout, and rediscovering purpose How to tell the difference between imposter syndrome, a difficult season, and a true calling for change Why childhood experiences and old emotional patterns can influence career struggles today Practical ways to work through shame, complications, mistakes, and difficult patient outcomes How self-compassion, coaching, and trusted support can help physicians regain confidence The importance of diversifying your professional identity beyond being "just a doctor" Why protecting yourself as your most valuable asset ultimately allows you to better care for your patients.

We have come to the end of our exploration of Paul's letter to the believers in Rome. In these last few verses, he offers a few more words of wisdom, then finishes with an expression of worship that also summarizes much of what he has written. We will cover Romans 16:17-27 except for verses 21-24, which we went through last week as we explored all the people whom Paul mentioned in his lengthy exchange of greetings.

In the last episode, we considered how seemingly trivial details in a letter written over two thousand years ago still have something to teach us. We found clues that help us fit the letter into its historical context, saw how Paul put into practice the things he taught, and saw by connecting Paul's letter to the events in Acts how God's plans can replace our own to accomplish His higher purposes. In Romans Chapter 16 we find more text that we might be tempted just to look past. Of what benefit could greetings to and from all these people be to us? We can identify a few of them from other places in the Bible, but most of them we know nothing more about than what Paul gives us here. You might be surprised.

In this age of technology, we aren't writing many actual letters. Some of us even find them to be a nuisance. I have often joked that I plan to put a paper shredder in place of my mail box and save myself a step. But a letter can be a thing of great value. Much of what we know of our nation's history comes from the letters written by the people who made that history. They reveal the personality and motivations of the people who wrote them, giving us insight beyond that which would be provided by official records. It is from their letters that we learn the deep Christian convictions of many of our founders. But there is another collection of letters that is much older and much more important. They make up around a third of the New Testament, and account for 21 of the 27 books. Just as the founders' letters reveal the values that shaped our nation, these letters reveal the values that define God's kingdom. They give us instruction in the way we should live, and they also reveal something of the people who wrote them. Details that we might be tempted to skip over because they don't seem all that important actually help to authenticate the historical accounts and the people behind them. As we near the end of our study of one such letter, the one Paul wrote to the church in Rome, we come to some of these seemingly insignificant details. There is a lot we can learn from them. This week we cover Romans 15:14-33. Nothing in God's word is wasted.

Drawing from Romans 15:7-13, Pastor Larry unpacks Paul's powerful call: “Therefore, accept one another, just as Christ also accepted us to the glory of God.” Through this passage, we see Christ as the servant who fulfilled God's promises to Israel and extended mercy to the Gentiles, fulfilling Old Testament prophecies that all nations would praise the Lord and find hope in Him. You'll discover: How Jesus bridges every divide—Jew and Gentile, and every barrier we face today. The true meaning of welcoming others as Christ welcomed us. The source of abounding hope, joy, and peace in the Holy Spirit. Whether you're hosting visitors, engaging with people from different backgrounds, or simply seeking unity in the body of Christ, this sermon reminds us that Jesus is for all who believe—and we are called to reflect that same welcoming heart.

One survey has identified as many as 50,000 distinct Christian groups who in some way distinguish themselves from others. This number is disheartening to those who feel that we should all be one. That is after all what Jesus Himself prayed (John 17:11.) That particular study named even small congregations of people, and accepted their self-identification as Christian, so the number of groups with significantly divergent theology is probably only in the hundreds. But isn't two to many? Paul points out in 1 Corinthians 11:18-19 that divisions will exist, differentiating faithful from the fake. He was speaking to a single congregation, but the principle holds. Heresies began developing even as the church was in its infancy. But not every issue is worth fighting over. Truth remains truth whatever we believe about it, but some things matter more than others. Much of what has divided us across the centuries should be set aside in favor of working together for the glory of God. Jesus said that we would be known as His disciples by our love for each other (John 13:35.) What would happen if we did that? What would happen if we also loved even our enemies in the way that Jesus did? In Romans Chapter 14, Paul addresses some specific issues that were points of contention between the Jewish and gentile believers to which he was writing. He speaks particularly to those who have come to an understanding that their freedom in Christ meant they didn't need to observe the dietary restrictions found in the Jewish law or observe the various feasts. He admonishes them to be respectful of those who had not yet come to that understanding. He says to all that we have only one judge, one master, and each of us is accountable to Him for our own faith. If we use our freedom in a way that causes weaker members to stumble, we are not acting out of love but out of selfishness. In Chapter 15, he concludes this admonition with a call to unity and a reminder that we all find our hope in Jesus. For this episode we will consider Romans 15:1-6.

We highly value our freedom in the United States, but what does freedom mean? Is it absolute? That would be chaos. With freedom comes responsibility. It is as true in our public life as it is in our personal lives. As Christians, we often speak of our freedom in Christ. We are not in bondage to sin. We are not in bondage to a set of rules that could never save us. But does that mean we can do as we please? Paul would disagree. In Chapter 14 of his letter to the Romans, he addresses this issue as it relates to some of the controversies of his day. We may not struggle with the same specifics, but the principles that he teaches will certainly apply to us. This week we look at the second half of the chapter (13-23) as we continue our study through the book of Romans.

Sometimes we seem determined to find fault.  I think often this is an unconscious defense against the flaws we see in our own character, but whatever the reason, it's a destructive tendency.  As we continue through our study of Paul's letter to the believers in Rome, we come to Romans 14:1-12. This passage addresses issues specific to the people and time when it was written, but it contains useful instruction for us today that goes beyond the obvious application.  It's hard to be in unity if we're pointing out each others' faults and presenting ourselves as somehow better or more holy.  Obvious sin does need to be confronted, and Jesus gives us the process and the redemptive objective of applying it in Matthew 18, but too often we are the ones committing the greater sin with our criticism.  We may be right, but it is better to be righteous.  We should extend the same grace to others that we have received from God, and that's a lot of grace.

We are continuing our study with Romans 13:8-14. Paul has provided teaching and instruction on everything from the basics of Christian theology to its application in our daily lives, and he is not finished yet. It may seem overwhelming, but in this passage he makes it simple, though in application it is anything but. He wraps it all up this way. Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law. For this, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does not work evil against a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the Law.Romans 13:8-10 Legacy Standard Bible Jesus Himself said something very similar when he was asked which was the greatest commandment in the law. “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the great and foremost commandment. And the second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' On these two commandments hang the whole Law and the Prophets.”Matthew 22:37-40 LSB Everything God has said and done is rooted in love. All of the things against which He has warned us are contrary to love. Love put Jesus on a cross. Love raised Him from the dead! Accept no imitations. The law of love is perfect. The law of love involves sacrifice and is contrary to selfishness. If only we could all learn what true love is, both to give and to receive.

Speaking of Women's Health Podcast host Dr. Holly Thacker talks through a lesser-known but very real problem: progesterone allergy and progesterone intolerance, often grouped under progestogen hypersensitivity. The most important clue is timing, with symptoms that reliably worsen in the luteal phase when progesterone rises and then ease when your period starts and hormones fall.Dr. Thacker walks through what progesterone is supposed to do in women's health and why it can still trigger trouble for some people, whether it's your own endogenous progesterone or synthetic progestins in hormonal birth control, fertility treatment, IUDs, or menopausal hormone therapy. She covers the full range of symptoms, from cyclical hives, rashes, itching, swelling, and asthma-like breathing issues to mood changes, anxiety, migraines, breast tenderness, bloating and heartburn.

This week, investigative reporter Paul Thacker examines the lingering questions around gain-of-function research, the origins of COVID-19, NIH funding, and the role major scientific institutions played in shaping the public narrative during the pandemic.The conversation centers on Ralph Baric, a prominent coronavirus researcher at the University of North Carolina, whose work on engineered viruses connects to a larger network involving the Wuhan Institute of Virology, Peter Daszak and EcoHealth Alliance, Anthony Fauci, and U.S. government funding streams.Thacker explains why the definition of “gain-of-function” research became so fiercely contested, how terms like “biodefense” can mask the risks of dangerous pathogen experiments, and how early scientific papers and media coverage helped shut down discussion of the lab-leak hypothesis. The discussion also highlights the breakdown in congressional oversight and the perverse incentive structures driving biodefense research.

Dr. Jason Thacker, Director of the Research Institute at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and a leading voice on human dignity, ethics, and culture, joins us to open Psalm 8 and help us recover a distinctly biblical vision of what it means to be human. In a cultural moment where personhood, value, and moral worth are often treated as fluid, developmental, or dependent on ability, autonomy, or usefulness, Dr. Thacker reminds us that Scripture grounds our dignity not in what we do, what others think of us, or what we contribute, but in the God who created us, knows us, and crowns humanity with glory and honor. Walking carefully through Psalm 8, he shows how our understanding of ourselves can never be separated from our understanding of God as Creator, Sustainer, and Lord, and how our calling as image bearers flows from His majesty rather than our own self-definition.Our dignity is secure because it is rooted not in ourselves, but in the majesty of the God who made us.

Brad welcomes Kevin Thacker to the NOFA Podcast microphone for his first full conversation as co-host. In this episode, Kevin shares the path that led him into the behavioral health and recovery field, the experiences that shaped his passion for helping others, and why he has chosen to dedicate his work to supporting individuals navigating trauma, mental health challenges, and addiction recovery.The conversation explores Kevin's background working alongside treatment programs and first responder communities, and how those experiences influence the perspective he brings to the show. Together, Brad and Kevin talk about the importance of connection, the role of peer support, and the reality that many high-performing professionals — especially in public safety careers — often struggle silently while appearing outwardly strong.They also discuss how recovery is not a single event but an ongoing process that involves identity, purpose, relationships, and learning how to move forward after difficult experiences.

In this episode of The Steward Chair, Maria Thacker Goethe, President and CEO of Georgia Life Sciences, shares her journey of transitioning from a dedicated "number two" to leading a massive ecosystem through a global pandemic. We explore how a commitment to mission and the guidance of mentors drives meaningful, long-term success even when the original plan is upended. We discuss the critical role of a connector in the life sciences sector, the importance of "work-life harmony" over balance, and why true stewardship means preparing the next generation to lead. This conversation provides actionable takeaways for leaders committed to stewardship, integrity, and impact. Key Takeaways Purpose Over Tactics: In times of crisis, your "North Star" must be your organizational purpose, allowing your tactics to remain nimble and adaptive. The Responsibility of Mentorship: Leadership is a societal responsibility; investing time in the next generation is essential because no leader is "here forever". Embracing "Ready Enough": You don’t have to feel fully ready to step into a leadership seat; surrounding yourself with a community that believes in you is the key to moving forward through fear.

Adrian was back for his last episode on the Check Your Six podcast and giving some insight into the why behind his business, Proficiency Background Service. Community is a huge part of Adrian's why, partially from his upbringing and The Affinity Program that he initiated at the Seminole Chamber, with the help of Rebecca Arthur, is juste one proof of that. They providing support from a financial and or services standpoint for non-profits from the proceeds of their screening services. He talked about his time with Leadership Orlando and the information that is provided in so many areas that we are just not aware of. His time with Up Orlando and his chance to give back to help in what they are doing, our connection with Sean Esler and what he does in the community, just so many reason to love what this man does and how he gives back. Can't wait to see what happens in the rest of 2026 and his business!!Email us at tim@grpstudios.com

The 3rd in a short series with Adrian Thacker with Proficiency Background Services brought him back in to GRP Studios to talk about the levels of background checks that they complete. What a Level 1, Level 2 checks and beyond consist of and how certain industries use those types of checks. Talked about the Healthcare industry either in the facilities themselves or in the schools/training centers that may require different checks at different times for compliance. Clear to Care is one of the background check services that allow for longer times between background checks as opposed to nearly yearly check being done. Also talked about the trucking industry and some of the challenges with the current news of drivers that are not even citizens and are not being subject to those checks, We also talked about some of here industries that they are not in, including what we do as part of the film or broadcast media as well as the banking industry which has it own set of compliance for banking as well as  the securities and exchange industry. Always enjoy having him in the studio and get to do it one more time on the next episode!!Email us at tim@grpstudios.com

Part II of Adrian Thacker and Proficiency Backgrounds is on the schedule today, a little late in the drop zone because of the schedule for GRP Studios, but it is finally up and running. Adrian talked a little bit deeper on what they do, moving from just a screening/background checks to a whole back end support for businesses to make sure they are only paying for what they need and being totally compliant in whatever industry they operate in. We talked about how some companies only care about the money they are making and not the impact they are making on the community and how Proficiency Backgrounds can perhaps change that narrative. Also the impact of AI was discussed and how cost "savings" with AI are not always being seen by the consumer as well as the loss of customer service and a disconnect with the community that the business serves!!

(Shoshoni, WY)- In this episode of the County 10 Podcast, we sit down with Shoshoni alum and songwriter/producer Keegan Thacker, who shares a passion-driven conversation about music, creativity, education, and giving back to the next generation. In this episode we find out about a fun event happening December 11th. The heart of this conversation is Sound Lab, a hands-on music program that Keegan co-created within Shoshoni schools. The goal is simple but transformative:to give students access to musical exploration…whether through instruments, composing, performing, or producing. They also aim to provide a creative outlet many rural students don't often get. On December 11th, the Sound Lab program will host a special concert featuring professional musicians as well as student performers who have been developing their skills through the program. This event serves not only as a community celebration of young talent, but also as a fundraiser to help expand the program by purchasing instruments, equipment, and materials. Another special part of this event is the partnership with the Shoshoni High School Boys Wrestling Team, who will be preparing the dinner served at the concert. A portion of the evening's admission proceeds will also go toward supporting the wrestling team! Details in the poster below. h/t Keegan Thacker
