September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month and we're revisiting this interview Dr. Greg conducted with Julie Cerel, Ph.D., professor in the College of Social Work (CoSW) at the University of Kentucky. In 2025 Julie was honored with the Norman Farberow Award for Bereavement and Lived Experience by the International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP). The award recognizes her transformative research, which expands understanding of the impact of suicide on families, friends and entire communities.

In March 1954, 25-year-old Constance Fisher was living with her husband, Carl, and their three young children in Waterville, Maine. In part one of this case, we look into Constance's struggle with severe mental illness following childbirth. Following a voice she believed was God's, she drowned her three children–Richard, 6, Daniel, 4, and baby Deborah in the family home before attempting to take her own life. She was committed to Augusta State Hospital, where doctors treated her for serious psychiatric illness. Five years later, Constance was released and returned to her husband. The couple rebuilt their life and had more children. Then, on June 30, 1966, history repeated itself. Constance again drowned her three children: six-year-old Kathleen, four-year-old Michael Jon, and nine-month-old Natalie Rose. She was sent back to the Augusta State Mental Hospital to live out the rest of her life. But in 1973, with no hope of ever leaving the hospital, Constance wandered off the grounds of the hospital and into the Kennebec River where she drowned herself. Her husband, Carl, never remarried and buried his wife next to the bodies of their six children.

Melissa is celebrating her 40th birthday with The Rizzuto Show, Rafe is preparing to claim an entire weekend for HIS birthday, and somewhere in St. Charles, a taco restaurant has fallen.We begin this comedy show with birthday business.Rafe's birthday is September 30th, but a Wednesday birthday simply isn't good enough for a man who understands branding. So he's claiming the following weekend and bringing four shows to the St. Charles Funny Bone, complete with guest comics, surprise appearances and improvised stand-up based on audience suggestions.Melissa even gets recruited to promote the shows. Her sales pitch? Rafe is hilarious, you'll laugh until you cry, and his opening comics are great, too. Rafe then requests a special birthday greeting in Melissa's signature delivery.Tickets sold... Probably.Talking about the Funny Bone naturally leads to the dining options around St. Charles, where the crew discovers the former Mission Taco/Session Taco location has apparently closed.RIP tacos. The mean streets of St. Charles remain undefeated.Fortunately, there are still plenty of options for anybody planning dinner before Rafe's show, including the possibility of absolutely destroying yourself at a Brazilian steakhouse before waddling into the comedy club carrying enough meat to hibernate through winter.Rizz knows the danger. The card stays green. The meat keeps coming.Eventually, your body starts sending emergency alerts.Rafe suggests a simple plan: MEAT up, then MEET up. Comedy AND wordplay.We're earning our FCC license today.But enough birthday promotion. It's time for the main event:Do It Bitch.Team Rafe and Melissa takes on Team Lern and Moon in a best-of-five battle where gamblers bid on how many items their partners can name from a category in ten seconds.If you think the other team has bid too high?Do it, bitch. Simple.Except nothing becomes simple once a microphone and ten-second timer are involved.The first category is standard breakfast foods.Melissa starts conservatively, but the bidding quickly climbs until Moon says Lern can name seven.Challenge accepted.Lern steps up and immediately rattles off eggs, bacon, fruit, pancakes, French toast, omelets, sausage and oatmeal. Done.She even throws in an extra answer for good measure.Team Lern and Moon takes the early lead, and Melissa gets her first lesson in competitive morning radio: Confidence is wonderful until somebody turns on the clock.Then comes geography. Oh no.The category is U.S. states that touch an ocean, with Gulf states also accepted.Lern knows Moon is well traveled and confidently opens at seven. Rafe knows Melissa specifically warned him before the game that geography might not be her strongest category. Unfortunately, gambling requires courage.The bid reaches eight. Lern calls it. Melissa is up.New York. New Jersey. Pennsylvania. Maine. Michigan. And then everything falls apart. Pennsylvania isn't helping. Michigan is busy hanging out with the Great Lakes. And suddenly the Pacific Coast may as well be located on another planet.Melissa discovers the brutal truth of this comedy show: knowing something while sitting comfortably at home and knowing something while Rizz stares at you with ten seconds on the clock are two completely different forms of intelligence.Round three brings soft drinks. Surely this will be easier.The bidding climbs all the way to nine brands, and Lern gets another opportunity to put the game away.Pepsi. Coca-Cola. Dr Pepper. Mountain Dew. 7UP. Sprite. Mr. Pibb. A&W Root Beer. And then… “Mother EFF!” TIME.She nearly gets there, but her insistence on saying “we have” between practically every answer burns precious seconds.Suddenly Rafe and Melissa are still alive. Barely. Meanwhile, another mystery has developed inside the studio. There is something weird on the door. It's wet. It's greasy. Nobody knows exactly what it is. People keep touching it despite repeatedly discussing how disgusting it feels.Eventually, the working theory becomes that somebody used the wrong cleaning product on the door plates while preparing for the boss to visit. This does not stop the show from giving the substance a significantly worse nickname. Professional broadcasting.Round four arrives. The category: Musical instruments. This should be perfect for Moon. Lern immediately says he can name nine. Rafe knows she's probably right. So when the bidding reaches ten for Melissa, there's nowhere left to run. Do it.Melissa needs ten instruments in ten seconds to keep her team alive. She steps to the microphone.Bass. Drums. Violin. Harp. And then the human brain simply closes for business. Panic. Silence. The birthday girl is toast.Team Lern and Moon wins, with Rafe giving Lern full credit for playing a ridiculously strong game. Unfortunately, this is Do It Bitch. Winning isn't merely about pride. The losers get shot with an airsoft gun. And because Melissa wanted the COMPLETE Rizz Show birthday experience, she's apparently willing to take her punishment.Moon is considerably less enthusiastic about shooting a guest. Rizz insists. Moon refuses. An ethical debate erupts over who should administer the punishment, complete with arguments about executioners, judges, feminism and whether refusing to shoot the birthday girl actually represents equality. Totally normal workplace discussion. Eventually Lern steps in to handle it. Melissa gets into position.Three… Two… One… SHOT. And her reaction? Basically nothing.After all that buildup, Melissa says it didn't really hurt. She's had Nerf darts hurt worse.The crew is stunned because everybody else acts like getting hit with this thing is equivalent to being struck by artillery.Melissa casually explains that she's probably going to bruise but otherwise seems completely unbothered.Rafe's medical diagnosis? Maybe she has an ass-circulation problem. Excellent.So what have we learned? Rafe is commandeering an entire weekend for his birthday. Brazilian steakhouses should come with recovery rooms. Lern is terrifyingly good at breakfast. Melissa should avoid geography categories. Saying “we have” nine times is a terrible speed-game strategy. Four musical instruments can suddenly feel like the complete history of music. Never touch unidentified substances on studio doors. And if you donate thousands of dollars to charity and spend your birthday with The Rizzuto Show, we might celebrate your generosity by shooting you in the butt.This comedy show is nothing if not hospitable. Happy birthday, Melissa. Happy early birthday, Rafe. And rest in peace, St. Charles tacos.

There have been many films and documentaries about the thrill and struggle of climbing Everest and with social media it has become an ever more popular destination.  Just this year a French youtuber has broken audience records for his film ‘Kaizen' about his challenge that he made to conquer Everest in just one year.  Over the past century, over 340 climbers have died on its peaks, with 2015 being the deadliest year with 22 fatalities. Most deaths result from avalanches, falls, and mountain sickness, which occurs at high altitudes due to low oxygen levels and can cause fatal brain or lung edema. Isn't Everest extremely dangerous?

When I heard that Hayden Panettiere died at just 36, it stopped me in my tracks. I grew up in that same world, and I watched too many of my own friends get crushed by it. Corey Haim. River Phoenix. Andrew Koenig, who played my best friend Boner on Growing Pains. Different people, different families, but the same devastating pattern. In this episode I want to talk about what I believe is really behind so many of these tragedies: the loss of childhood, and why protecting it may matter more than almost anything else.

Hello, Im Joe Gonzalez aka Scuba Joe a disabled Navy Seabee who's seen his share of tragedies both on the battle field and off. Tragedies that have not only crushed me, my spirit, complete altered my way of life for the worse. After the 3rd time I couldnt help but ask, why? It truely never dawned on me that this (although accidents that were by my hand) it turned out it was!!! My ego, is what got me here. Yes, that doubled edge sword we all carry. The one that can save us or destroy us. I meet him face to face, while battling my PTSD and sitting with Ayahuasca. A game changer for me. Combined with my Vipassana medication practice I discovered a way to manage the demons in my head better. By embrassing them and too not allowing them to take over. Demons such as rage, depression, anxiety, addiction and revenge. I saw them as really bad roommates in my head, trying to own my space. But, they forget Im the landlord and its my place they are trying to monopolize. Thats not happening. Its a different take on complete on the AA or NA approach of complete abstinence, which I agree some folks do need to compelte remove the demons out. But some folks, like myself, learned they can better manage them this way and use that sharper edge, to build somehting great. TUrning a “mid life crisis” into a" mid life awakening!

Life can change in an instant. But even in our darkest moments, God is still writing a story of redemption.In this powerful conversation, Valerie Peterson sits down with Kellie Spears to share an incredible testimony of faith, perseverance, and the hope that can only be found in Jesus Christ.Kellie shares how her life seemed perfect—a loving husband, two young children, a new home, and a bright future. But on what should have been an ordinary day, everything changed.While driving home after purchasing a new family vehicle, Kellie, her husband Tim, and their six-week-old son were struck head-on by a drunk driver.The crash was devastating.Trapped inside the vehicle for hours, Kellie suffered life-threatening injuries, while her infant son was airlifted to another hospital fighting for his life.In the middle of the chaos, Kellie remembers crying out just one prayer:"Jesus, save us."That simple cry became the beginning of a miraculous journey.Doctors weren't sure they would survive. Kellie faced months of recovery, learning to walk again, overwhelming pain, fear, depression, and unexpected struggles in her marriage. What began as a physical tragedy exposed emotional wounds that had been hidden for years.But God never left them.Through faithful friends, family, church community, counseling, and the power of prayer, God slowly restored what seemed impossible. Kellie discovered that healing isn't instant—it happens one day at a time as we continue trusting God through every step.Today, Kellie uses her testimony to encourage others facing tragedy, loss, fear, or hopelessness. Through her book, Trials, Tragedies & Triumphs, she reminds people that even the deepest pain can become a testimony of God's faithfulness.Kellie's story is proof that:God is present in our darkest moments.Healing is a journey, not an event.Community and accountability matter.Jesus brings peace even when circumstances don't change immediately.Hope is stronger than fear.She encourages listeners to:Call on the name of Jesus.Stay rooted in God's Word.Find a Bible-believing church.Allow others to walk beside you.Never believe you are facing your trial alone.Your tragedy does not have to define your future.God can bring hope, healing, and purpose from even the most unexpected circumstances.What trial are you trusting God to carry you through today?Connect with Kellie Spears:

Pastor Kyle HowardPastor Kyle continues our Jonah series exploring the tragedies of saying "Nope" to God, the consequences of disobedience, and how God graciously leads us back to "Yes." Through Jonah's rebellion, the storm at sea, and God's pursuit of both Jonah and the sailors, we see that our disobedience affects others, but God's mercy is greater than our rebellion. This message challenges us to stop running, embrace God's heart for people, and trust Him with our next step of obedience.

Get ready for an absolute firestorm of truth!

A crying mother is mourning her young son next door to Rabban Gamliel, and he can't stop crying with her. It goes so far that his students worry for his health. That midrash is the doorway we use to talk about the Three Weeks, the destruction of Jerusalem, and why the loss of the Beit HaMikdash is not only national history but a personal wound that still reshapes Jewish life.We explore what it means to live with a Torah that includes 613 mitzvot when so many are tied to the Temple service, Kohanim, Leviyim, and korbanot. The absence is not theoretical. It affects how complete Jewish practice can feel, and it changes how we experience exile, community, and longing. We also push past the usual framing of mourning as “remembering the past” and ask a sharper question: what if much of our pain today is heavier because we lack the clarity that the Beit HaMikdash once provided?That clarity is described in vivid images: the smoke rising straight from the mizbeach, the Leviyim singing on the steps, the Kohanim doing avodah, and the open miracles that made God's presence feel real. When that visibility is gone, suffering can feel like darkness with no map. We close with a practical, prayer-focused takeaway: slowing down in Shemoneh Esrei, especially the parts about rebuilding Jerusalem and restoring the service, so our longing becomes a real ask for redemption, understanding, and comfort.If this resonated, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review so more people find it.

The dice are rolling and the fandom is strong in another fun-filled episode of Wise_N_Nerdy! Join Charles and Joe as they blend fatherhood, fandom, and friendship into a memorable adventure packed with laughs, life lessons, and nerdy passions. The episode kicks off with the Question of the Week: "Would you rather spend five days exploring Disney or New York City?" The hosts and community weigh the pros and cons of two iconic destinations. Is it better to immerse yourself in the magic, attractions, and family-friendly experiences of Disney, or would you prefer the culture, history, food, and endless entertainment offered by New York City? The discussion highlights the unique appeal of both destinations and reveals where each host would spend their dream vacation. As always, the Roll of the Dice determines the journey, leading first to "Daddy, Tell Me A Story." Charles shares a childhood memory that many siblings can relate to: the excitement of receiving a brand-new LEGO set, only to watch in horror as his younger sister dismantled his prized creation. It's a nostalgic story about childhood passions, family dynamics, and learning to let go. Next, the dice direct the hosts to the "How Do I...?" segment, where Charles and Joe tackle a common challenge: How do you overcome a bad first impression? Through personal experiences and practical advice, they discuss the importance of authenticity, consistency, and giving people the opportunity to see who you truly are beyond an awkward first encounter. The fates then reward listeners with a collection of groan-worthy Bad Dad Jokes, courtesy of Bob. The puns fly, the eye rolls follow, and the laughter is unavoidable as another generation carries on the proud tradition of terrible humor. From there, the show moves into "Parliament of Papas," where the hosts examine a relationship dilemma involving a couple struggling to agree on vacation plans. The wife wants every vacation to revolve around Disney, while the husband hopes to explore other destinations. The conversation opens up broader discussions about compromise, shared interests, communication, and balancing personal passions within a relationship. Finally, the episode concludes with "What Are You Nerding Out About?" Joe can't stop talking about He Who Fights with Monsters by Shirtaloon (Travis Deverell), a wildly popular LitRPG series that has completely captured his attention. He shares why the story, characters, and world-building make it nearly impossible to put down. Meanwhile, Charles is embracing the warmer weather by getting his pool ready for the season, proving that sometimes the simplest hobbies can bring the greatest joy. Whether you're debating vacation destinations, recovering from a bad first impression, laughing at dad jokes, or discovering your next favorite book series, this episode has something for everyone.

Hell is murky. Today we enter limbo, which is technically the least painful section of hell but actually leaves me with some of the toughest questions in the poem. What does Dante make--what do Christians in general make--of all the noble, wise, and humane people who apparently lived outside the reach of Christ? Were they outside His reach? Are human virtues enough to save us? If so, why aren't we doing better?? Dante, in his characteristic way, rachets these questions up to 11 and then moves through them subtly, confoundingly, and above all, beautifully. His poetry leads us to contemplate what it might look like for God's justice and God's mercy to become one.

On Monday, May 18th, 2026, two teen shooters entered the Islamic Center of San Diego and opened fire, according to authorities. It hasn't been a week yet since suspects shot and killed two men there and then took their own lives. Investigators have discovered a manifesto they believe the shooters penned. Those indicate that the shooters were at least partly motivated by another shooter who made headlines. We'll be taking a closer look at that case and its relationship to online culture – including glorification of mass shooters and more – in this episode with expert interviews.

ABANDON ALL HOPE, YE WHO ENTER HERE: We've made it at last to the gates of hell, and we're on our way to the river of Acheron. On the way, we'll meet the "neutrals" and the cowards—those who never lived and have no names. From here on out, the poem becomes a horror movie. But in this episode, I want to show you just how deep the horror goes. Worms and flames are just the beginning: it's the spiritual deformities that the torments represent that make them truly chilling. Then, Dante goes off the chain in a set piece that establishes him as one of the all-time epic greats, as souls like fallen leaves come streaming down to the river of death.
