In 1993, an elderly couple along with their adult son lived peacefully in Spartanburg County. The mother, Mary, served as a care taker and was beloved in her small community. That's why it was all the more shocking when tragedy befell their household.

Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes When Life Gets in the Way: Finding Courage After Tragedy September 15, 2025 | Episode 5171 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description This Monday hits different, doesn't it? Scott opens up about processing last week's tragic events and how life has a way of throwing curveballs when we least expect them. He takes you through his personal journey of unpacking tragedy, from losing his first wife to witnessing how people respond when fear meets faith. You'll discover why struggle might actually be a good sign and how normal life continues even in the midst of chaos. Scott shares his three life rules that have replaced almost everything else and why he believes good always wins in the end. Featured Story Scott gets real about pulling down a podcast he'd already recorded five times because something told him at 11:30 PM that he wasn't ready yet. He shares his weekend experience shopping with his wife for a wedding dress while thousands of people went about their normal lives, finding traffic jams and sweet treats at the mall even in the midst of national tragedy. The story weaves through his realization that what we're witnessing is really about identity and worldview - people fighting for who they are based on their life experiences. It's a raw, honest look at how we process the unthinkable. Important Points Your struggle to figure out what's right probably means you're going to get there - it's the people who aren't struggling that should worry us. What's happening right now is a values issue where millions of people are fighting for their identity based on their belief systems and life experiences. The only thing standing between evil and good in this world is you and me, and that door tragedy opens might be exactly what we've been looking for. Memorable Quotes "Life begins when you move, but then life freaking gets in the way." "If you're struggling, you know what's right. You probably just haven't accepted it yet." "Without courage, every other virtue fails. Courage is what turns conviction into action and sacrifice into legacy." Scott's Three-Step Approach Always try to do the right thing, and if you mess up, say you're sorry and try again until you get it right. Be nice and cool to people, especially when you see them struggling, because maybe your job is to help them through the process. Don't be an asshole - when logic breaks down and emotion takes over, resist the urge to get loud and slam doors. Connect With Me Search for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Tune in here to this Monday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about the deep sorrow and outrage surrounding the recent tragedy involving Charlie Kirk’s wife and the disturbing public reactions to her death. He reflects on the cruelty of those who celebrate suffering, especially when innocent spouses and children are affected. Brett urges his audience not to respond with hatred or violence, but with prayer and compassion. Acknowledging that some people are deeply damaged—by trauma, politics, or personal struggles—he encourages listeners to pray for healing and peace, rather than vengeance. Drawing on Christian values, Brett emphasizes the power of faith and moral restraint in the face of evil. He reminds his audience that judgment, not confrontation, is what these people fear most. In closing, he pleads for empathy and moral clarity, insisting that decency still matters and that spiritual strength is the most powerful response to hate. We’re joined by Pastor Kenneth Whalum from the New Olivet Baptist Church in Memphis, Tennessee, to talk about the urgent crisis of youth gun violence and the recent collaboration between civic leaders and federal authorities. A lifelong Democrat who supports former President Trump's decision to deploy the National Guard, Pastor Whalum emphasizes the need for immediate action to secure communities and protect children. He shares heartbreaking examples of recent shootings involving teenagers and even toddlers—tragic reminders of the violence plaguing Memphis. Pastor Whalum praises Mayor Paul Young’s decision to cooperate with federal and state agencies, including the FBI and TBI, rather than resist assistance.

Thoughts on the recent tragedy. #RTTBROS #nightlight #NK #Normankissinger

A whispered plea for help in the dead of night unravels a chilling tale of betrayal, resentment, and deadly consequences in Washington, North Carolina. July 25, 1988 began as any other sultry summer night in this sleepy riverside town, where crime rarely disrupts the gentle pace of life. But at 4:24 AM, dispatcher Michelle Sparrow received a desperate call from Bonnie Von Stein, her voice barely audible: "This is an emergency...my husband may be dying and I may be dying too." What first responders discovered at 110 Lawson Road, in the town's most affluent neighborhood, was a scene of unimaginable brutality that would shatter the community's sense of security forever.The Von Steins appeared to have everything – a beautiful home, financial security, and plans for the future now that their children were approaching college age. Leith Von Stein had recently inherited over $1.2 million from his parents, allowing him to contemplate early retirement from a job he never truly enjoyed. But beneath this veneer of prosperity lay complex family dynamics, particularly between Leith and his stepson Chris Pritchard. Despite Leith's attempts to win Chris's affection through expensive gifts like a classic Mustang, their relationship remained strained. The weekend before the attack, Chris had visited unexpectedly, engaged in an uncomfortable confrontation about drug use, then abruptly returned to NC State claiming he had an urgent paper due.What initially appeared to be a home invasion would gradually reveal itself as something far more calculated and personal. Through meticulous investigation of Bonnie's description of the "shadow" who attacked them in their sleep, the peculiar timing of Chris's visit, and the family's newly acquired wealth, detectives began piecing together a narrative more disturbing than anyone could have imagined. This case examines how inheritance, family resentment, and opportunity can combine with devastating consequences, proving that sometimes the greatest threats come not from strangers, but from those closest to us.Subscribe to follow this investigation as we uncover the shocking truth behind one of North Carolina's most notorious crimes, where a family's darkest secrets ultimately led to murder.Send us a text Support the show

Sermon from the pulpit of Falls Baptist Church

Cam Cooksey opens this heartfelt episode of Flow by celebrating Georgia's thrilling win over Tennessee before shifting into a raw reflection on one of the hardest weeks of his life, the assassination of Charlie Kirk. With honesty and conviction, Cam contrasts the “death cult” of hatred with the movement of faith, love, and dialogue Kirk stood for, vowing to carry that legacy forward. The episode blends community interaction, personal stories, and live call-ins, including a moving testimony of survival, forgiveness, and faith. Cam reminds listeners not to take the bait of fear or anger but to stand firm in God's light. Alongside heavy spiritual reflections, he shares lighter moments, sports banter, chat interactions, and sponsor reads, anchoring the show in both resilience and everyday life. A powerful mix of grief, hope, and determination, this episode captures the essence of flowing forward together.

Afghan medical refugees watch helplessly as their earthquake-devastated homeland suffers without adequate healthcare, while America wastes their desperately needed expertise due to credential barriers during our own provider shortage.

After hearing of John the Baptist's death, Jesus withdrew by boat to be alone with the Father—but when the crowds followed, He stepped back into ministry with compassion. In the same way, when the world feels heavy and the week has been intense, God invites us to first draw near to Him, to be strengthened in His presence. From that place of renewal we can love in truth and stand firm against the enemy, ready to serve the people right in front of us. Scriptures: Matthew 14: 8-14 2 Peter 3:9, 1 Peter 5:9, Ephesians 6: 12-13, 18-20, Matthew 14:14

This energy update reflects on the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk and the deeper spiritual significance behind it. When events like this occur, they often open powerful doorways for us to process emotion, alchemize energy, and step into higher dimensional awareness. In this episode, I share how timeline shifts reveal themselves through tragedy and how we can reclaim authenticity and integrate the energy left behind.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk They frame Kirk’s death as a political assassination, comparing it to historical killings of JFK, Bobby Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr. The hosts emphasize concerns about political violence, the dangers of polarization, and left-wing reactions online. They highlight messages of unity from unexpected voices on the left, such as Cenk Uygur, while contrasting that with those celebrating Kirk’s death. Persecution of Christians in Nigeria Cruz details violence by Boko Haram and ISIS-West Africa, citing statistics of tens of thousands of Christians killed and thousands of churches destroyed. He introduces the Nigeria Religious Freedom Accountability Act of 2025, which seeks to: Classify Nigeria as a “country of particular concern” for religious freedom. Keep Boko Haram and ISIS-West Africa labeled as terrorist groups. Sanction Nigerian officials complicit in persecution. The discussion connects this to broader issues of U.S. foreign policy, criticizing past administrations (especially Obama and Biden) for not doing enough to defend persecuted Christians. Tucker Carlson’s controversial statements Carlson’s remarks about offering condolences to Osama bin Laden’s family, questioning Hamas’s designation as a terrorist group, and sympathetic portrayals of Russia and Iran are strongly criticized. Cruz and Ferguson accuse Carlson of moral relativism, equating his views with those of progressive politicians like Ilhan Omar or Rashida Tlaib. They reaffirm that groups like Hamas, al-Qaeda, and ISIS are terrorist organizations, citing both U.S. and international designations as well as historical attacks.

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's passing, this episode reflects on how Christians respond to tragedy.

A menagerie of Badlands Media hosts gather for a raw and wide-ranging conversation in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination. They recount Codex 9/11 screenings across the country, reflect on the shifting political narratives around 9/11, and wrestle with the cultural fallout of celebrating a political murder. The discussion dives into cancel culture versus accountability, the ethics of databases outing those who cheered Kirk's death, and whether retribution feeds the psyop the enemy wants. Historical patterns, Cheney's role on 9/11, and the looming risk of a “second spark” are examined alongside personal stories of grief, resilience, and community. From Orwell quotes to the Smith–Mundt Act, the crew debates propaganda, free speech, and whether America can coexist with people who openly justify violence against their opponents. Equal parts somber, fiery, and reflective, this episode captures a movement grappling with grief and the dangerous crossroads ahead.

CannCon and Ashe in America open with raw reflections on the assassination of Charlie Kirk, describing the emotional toll, the cultural impact, and how the tragedy is resonating with their own children and communities. They debate the premature push to name Ben Shapiro as Kirk's “replacement,” the pressures around speaking critically of Israel, and the deeper narratives shaping public perception. The hosts then pivot to the stunning dismissal of charges against Michigan's alternate electors, highlighting the judge's First Amendment defense and Dana Nessel's lawfare tactics. Through sharp analysis and candid conversation, they expose the government's abuse of power, the dangers of silencing election challenges, and the manipulation of narrative by corporate media. From personal grief to constitutional battles, this episode captures the exhaustion, resilience, and faith needed to keep moving forward in the fight for truth.

Why We Turn to Conspiracies After Tragedy? Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott Explains In this final segment, the Hidden Killers Live team unpacks the psychological pull of conspiracy theories following the Charlie Kirk assassination. Shavaun Scott explains why the human brain craves certainty after chaos, and how conspiracy thinking offers both a sense of control and emotional escape. Tony Brueski and his co-hosts reflect on the hopelessness many feel in today's polarized climate, the erosion of problem-solving in leadership, and the psychological cost of living in constant fear.

Why We Turn to Conspiracies After Tragedy?

Send us a textA young woman's devotion to faith leads her to a Mennonite community in Farmington, New Mexico, where she thrives writing church music and working for a religious publication. Her peaceful life comes to an abrupt end one January evening when she disappears while retrieving materials from her church. What unfolds next reveals the dark intersection of technology, hatred, and random violence.Sasha Krause was known for her beautiful writing, linguistic talents, and dedication to her faith. Originally from Texas, she had found purpose working at the Lamp and Light publication in the Mennonite community. When her roommates realized she hadn't returned home one night, they found her car still at the church but her purse at home—only her cell phone was missing. The tight-knit religious community immediately mobilized to find her, but their search would end in heartbreak.The discovery of Sasha's body in an Arizona national park a month later created more questions than answers. Why would anyone target a member of a pacifist religious community? How did she end up hundreds of miles from where she disappeared? With no obvious suspects, investigators made an extraordinary decision to subpoena cell phone data from all networks, searching for any device that had traveled the same path as Sasha's phone.This digital breadcrumb trail led them to Mark Gooch, an Air Force airman with a disturbing secret—he harbored an inexplicable hatred toward Mennonites despite being raised in the faith himself. Text messages revealed he had been "surveilling" communities before driving seven hours to commit his crime. The randomness of his selection of Sasha as a victim makes this case all the more chilling—she was simply in the wrong place when his hatred found its target.Through forensic evidence, digital detective work, and the killer's own mistakes, justice was eventually served with a life sentence. Yet nothing can erase the tragedy of a brilliant, kind woman whose life was cut short by senseless hatred. Join us as we examine how modern technology both facilitated a heinous crime and ultimately brought its perpetrator to justice.www.texaswineandtruecrime.com

'A human tragedy': Charlie Kirk killed at university event, shooter remains at large

Segment 1: • A tragedy: Charlie Kirk's murder forces us to wrestle with God's sovereignty. • Why does a good God ordain evil acts? Four rules help us think rightly. • God is working out good, but we must guard against demanding to see it. Segment 2: • What God ordains is always good—even when we do not understand how it could be. • Wrestling with suffering? The problem is never God's character, but our perspective. • Develop a robust theodicy—God ordains all, yet isn't the sinner. Segment 3: • The assassination exposes the real crisis: the human heart, not politics. • Political divides weren't always deadly—what changed? • The only way forward isn't civility campaigns but the Gospel itself. Segment 4: • Should the murder reignite debate on the death penalty? • Taking a life is dehumanizing—Romans 1 on display. • If this tragedy grieves us, how much more does it grieve God? ___ Thanks for listening!
