The fabulous comedian David Cross, whose comedy decades ago first raised our eyebrow to lowest common denominator political American stupidity, has a great bit where he says “I would like to officially change and substitute 'casting spells and chanting' in place of 'thoughts and prayers'. Hilarious and even more American!This is not only wonderful and delightful because it draws attention to the fact that language itself is micro magic. When a likely fake Christian politician stands at a podium after a 2nd Amendment related tragedy and utters that eye roll worthy, tired, and empty phrase, “thoughts and prayers,” instead of passing very popular common sense policies to help reduce gun violence, what they are actually doing is a kind of spiritual bypassing substituted for spell-casting, though a spell so worn down, so emptied of intention, that it has become little more than background noise. The words drift out, ritualistically, to soothe and placate, but not to transform a culture into something better.These insight sub-episodes are mirrored on our primary YouTube channel which can be found at https://www.youtube.com/@NilesHeckman/videos

Feeling down? Don't forget that "Thoughts and Prayers Will Get You There," especially when accompanied by yet another amazing episode of The One True Religion.

So drop the ball (huh huh huh), pour the mimosas, and party down with Drinks With Josh!

Today, we're sharing a conversation that feels especially urgent. In fact, we'd planned to release this episode later in the month—but this week, as a major hurricane moves through the Caribbean and the U.S. government shutdown is causing massively disruptive ripples in the daily life of countless families, we know so many are asking, What can I do? We hope this conversation offers real practical guidance  and clarity for getting to work today.We're joined by Sharon Eubank, author of the new book Doing Small Things with Great Love: How Everyday Humanitarians Are Changing the World.Sharon has spent decades in humanitarian work around the globe, and now works as the director of Latter-day Saint Charities. In this conversation, she shares what her experience has taught her about ethical, lasting, and impactful relief. We were struck by this term, “the second disaster." Sharon explains how, all too often, well-meaning aid can actually become a second disaster—doing more harm, complicating and even obstructing urgent relief efforts. But she offers some surprisingly simple and practical ways to ensure that what we give and how we serve is genuinely helpful. As our hearts turn to the Caribbean, this feels especially important—but the principles Sharon shares are just as vital at home. She explains why she believes we're most effective where we live, how relationships and trusted networks form the foundation of lasting change, and why honoring agency and dignity is essential to any effort—whether local or global.Sharon shared so many incredible insights—things that energized us to be helpers, and that empowered us to get started. We hope that in this time of deep need, fear, and urgency, that this episode will help you to recognize where you feel called, and help you know what to do first. Resources to use to find reputable organizations to support: https://www.charitynavigator.orghttps://www.charitywatch.org/our-charity-rating-processhttps://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/charity-commissionOrder That We Might Have Joy anywhere books are sold!

After a tragic school shooting in Minneapolis reignites the national debate, Michael sits down with Jonah Goldberg, Editor-in-Chief of The Dispatch, to unpack the fierce backlash against offering “thoughts and prayers.” Is it a hollow gesture or a necessary human response?

Plus, hear Michael's "standard response" that he has written and reads every time there is a mass shooting. It is the same thing...every time.A powerful, timely conversation about compassion, cynicism, and constructive action. Original air date 2 September 2025.

http://Patreon.com/thebpdshow“Thoughts and Prayers of Officials Mean Nothing to God Without Action.” In the wake of the Annunciation Catholic School tragedy in Minneapolis, this sermon confronts the hypocrisy of politicians who offer “thoughts and prayers” while refusing to act against gun violence. Drawing on Isaiah, James, Micah, Amos, and more, Pastor Ben exposes how God rejects empty prayers, condemns faith without works, and holds leaders accountable for blood on their hands. This is a biblical exegesis on gun violence, political idolatry, and the NRA's grip on America. After the sermon, stay tuned for powerful commentary and analysis from the Black Family Channel family: DJ Xclusive, Rebecca Azor, Clickbaity Political Thirsttrap, Georgia Fort, Attorney Augustus Corbett, Dr. Carl Mack, and Pastors Jada and Ben.

On the day another community was shattered by a school shooting in Minnesota, Jo and Jess Piper drop the niceties and get honest about America's epidemic of gun violence laying bare the emotional toll of shooter drills, the rage and helplessness of waiting for news, and the absurdity of politicians hiding behind “thoughts and prayers” while refusing to act.With unfiltered stories from rural communities, and real families, they dig deep into how weaponized propaganda, failed policies, and spineless leadership are costing lives. Jess shares what organizing looks like on the ground in Missouri, why responsible gun owners like her are demanding change, and how incremental victories can still matter even against the odds.

This segment dissects how Democratic politicians and media figures allegedly use mass shootings to advance a political agenda. The host argues that figures like Jen Psaki and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey are using the same, coordinated talking points—specifically the phrase "thoughts and prayers are not enough"—to immediately pivot the conversation to gun control. The hosts draw a parallel to "Operation Mockingbird," a CIA program to influence media, and suggest that a similar, modern-day effort is at play. They contend that the real goal of these synchronized messages is not to offer solace, but to lay the groundwork for future gun confiscation. This, they claim, is a long-term plan to disarm the American public, a first step in a larger agenda that could lead to a future resembling socialist states like Venezuela, where the government and its loyalists are the only ones with firearms. The segment challenges the audience to recognize these patterns and resist the push for gun control, viewing it as a move toward a future where the average citizen is powerless.
