First named in 1972, the Alaska Triangle stretches from Anchorage in southcentral Alaska to Juneau in the southeast panhandle to Utqiagvik (formerly Barrow) on Alaska’s northern coast. Since 1988, more than 16,000 people have vanished from this area, and every year, approximately four people go missing per every 1000 Alaska residents. This rate is twice the national average. I was surprised when I first learned how many people disappear in Alaska, but I don’t need an underground pyramid or mysterious magnetic vortices to explain the statistics. I also don’t understand the need for a triangle since people disappear throughout the state, not just in the area outlined by a geometric figure’s hypothetical lines. However, I guess a triangle conjures up the aura of the Bermuda Triangle and suggests the possibility of mysterious forces at play. Many disappearances and other mysteries in Alaska have never been solved. Planes vanish, boats disappear, UFO sightings baffle military officers, and in one instance, the population of an entire village fled their homes to escape a giant, hairy, manlike creature. Here are a few of the stories. Sources: Conger, Cristen. Why has part of the Alaska wilderness been called the Bermuda Triangle? How Stuff Works. Gough, Cody. 2019.

How To Be A Friend (In An Unfriendly World) with Barnet BainWhat does it really mean to be a friend not just to others, but to yourself and to life itself?In this deeply human episode of the Sacred Changemakers Podcast, I'm joined by Barnet Bain, award-winning filmmaker, author, and teacher known for exploring themes of creativity, connection, and the human spirit. His film credits include What Dreams May Come, Homeless to Harvard, and Milton's Secret, based on the teachings of Eckhart Tolle. His new book, How to Be a Friend (in an Unfriendly World), offers a tender and practical guide to friendship as a living spiritual practice.Together, we explore why friendship is more than a social bond; it's a profound act of consciousness. Barnet invites us to look closely at the “bubbles” of belief and conditioning that shape our relationships, and to cultivate the courage to step beyond them. He shares what it means to become a “safe harbor” for others, how friendship differs from romantic or family love, and why being a friend to ourselves is the foundation for genuine connection.This conversation is both wise and intimate, weaving together stories from Barnet's creative journey, psychological insights from his Columbia University course, and timeless truths about belonging, vulnerability, and love. It's an episode that reminds us that friendship (when practiced with intention and attention) is a radical form of transformation.Key TakeawaysWhy genuine friendship begins with becoming a safe harbor for yourself and others.How to step outside “the bubble” of your own conditioning to see others more clearly.The difference between friendship, romantic love, and family bonds, and why all are needed.How small, conscious acts of friendship can transform your day and ripple through the world.Why “remembering the love” is the most essential practice of being human.Guest BioBarnet Bain is an award-winning filmmaker, author, and teacher known for his exploration of creativity, consciousness, and connection. His film credits include the Oscar-winning What Dreams May Come, the Emmy-nominated Homeless to Harvard, and Milton's Secret, based on the teachings of Eckhart Tolle.

"If a friend doesn't feel safe with you, you can forget the rest."  True friendship begins with seeing past our own filters. Most people walk through life inside invisible "bubbles"—patterns of conditioning, beliefs, and echo chambers that shape how we perceive others. These bubbles make the world feel smaller, narrower, and more divided, especially when they harden into judgment or fear. Breaking through them requires awareness: noticing when we collapse into assumptions, when we make others invisible, and when we protect ourselves instead of opening up. Friendship asks for presence, safety, curiosity, and the willingness to grow.  Barnet Bain shares how understanding our internal narratives can transform connection. Through vivid metaphors and reflective insight, Barnet explores why some friendships form instantly, how unconscious overlap creates comfort, and how intentional skill-building can open the door to meaningful relationships with people beyond our bubble. Barnet explains why safety, non-judgment, and conscious listening are the foundations of human connection.  Barnet is an award-winning filmmaker, author, and educator whose work explores creativity and the human spirit. His new book, How to Be a Friend in an Unfriendly World, expands on the art and practice of conscious friendship.  Learn more & connect:  Go to www.BarnetBain.com to get a free Friendship Field Guide  Book on Amazon  Raymond Aaron has shared his vision and wisdom on radio and television programs for over 40 years.

"You cannot be more of a friend to others than you are to yourself."   What if friendship wasn't meant to be effortless, but to make you more alive? What if every relationship, especially the most challenging ones, was a portal into your own expansion? In this episode of Soul Talk, I sit down with Barnet Bain, award-winning filmmaker, spiritual teacher, and author of How to Be a Friend in an Unfriendly World, to explore the sacred, often overlooked art of friending. Barnet reveals a radical truth: Most of us think we're good friends, until the relationship becomes inconvenient. Until someone changes. Until life asks us to grow. Together we dive into the real work of authentic connection, why unconditional love is often a myth we hide behind, how our unspoken emotional contracts quietly sabotage intimacy, and why true friendship requires a willingness to be changed by one another. Barnet shares tender personal stories, including a powerful moment with his daughter that shattered his self-image and awakened him to the unconscious conditions he had placed on love. Through his wisdom, we explore how friendship becomes a spiritual practice, a living crucible where our wounds, triggers, and projections are not obstacles but invitations. Listen to this episode and learn how to friend yourself, friend your wounds, friend your inner weather, and finally, friend others from a place of truth, not need.

On today's episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we're taking a hard look at Taylor Swift's new pornographic-themed album cover, The Life of a Showgirl. From the drinking and partying she parades as normal to her descent into porn culture, Swift has become a dangerous influence on young girls—and really, on everyone. We'll also address the cult-like following surrounding her, and why parents have a biblical responsibility to guard their children from this idolatry and from being exposed to Taylor Swift's sinful pornographic example. Darkness must be exposed, and the Word of God gives us the standard by which to measure it. We will also discuss how disgusting it is to excuse sin by simply labeling it “adult entertainment.” Unfriendly reminder: Civilization is currently collapsing. Let's actually do something about it?--https://www.thebrandsunday.com/

Parents are spending more time with their kids than in the past, and yet kids are less happy and less healthy. Given that the population of children is shrinking at an alarming rate, we need to figure out what is going on. Could it be that our culture is making raising kids harder than it needs to be? That is the suggestion of our guest today, Tim Carney, parent of six kids, and the author of Family Unfriendly. Timothy Carney is a father of six children, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, and a columnist for the Washington Examiner. He is also the author of Alienated America: The Big Ripoff. ==========Think Biblically: Conversations on Faith and Culture is a podcast from Talbot School of Theology at Biola University, which offers degrees both online and on campus in Southern California.

Divorce is not just a personal decision, it's actually a spiritual health crisis. And it's unfortunately rampant in society today. In this episode, I'm calling it what it really is: sin. God literally says in Scripture, “I hate divorce” (Malachi 2:16), yet our culture treats it like a self-care strategy. Christians are increasingly justifying what the Bible clearly condemns. Let's be clear: marriage is a covenant and walking away from it without biblical grounds is rebellion against God.Even with biblical grounds to divorce (such as in cases of abandonment or sexual immorality) God still prefers there be genuine repentance and genuine forgiveness. Meaning, no matter how "bad" it allegedly gets, God still suggests true apologies and true absolution. He wants that instead of bitterness and separation.Also, everyone seems to conveniently be forgetting about how divorce impacts the children. That is very wicked to not consider how it affects them.People have come at me with rudeness, bitterness, and every excuse under the sun as to why they "had to" get divorced, but none of that will stop me from speaking the truth. You did not "have to" get divorced. Not most of you. I'm not here to please people. I'm here to honor God and uphold what His Word says, even when it's uncomfortable or "comes off mean." Unfriendly reminder: I win every single battle and every single war because I fight on the side of righteousness, and you probably don't. Tune in as we break down the lies, the "justifications" and the tragic consequences of treating divorce like an option instead of the absolute last resort.Marriage is a holy covenant between one man, one woman, and God.Hope this helps!--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

This week on Family Policy Matters, host Traci DeVette Griggs welcomes Timothy Carney, author of Family Unfriendly: How Our Culture Made Raising Kids Much Harder Than It Needs to Be, to discuss how America has created an increasingly family-unfriendly culture and what parents can do to combat it. This episode originally aired in March of 2024.   

Episode #341: As the military has suffered setbacks in the field, its use of indiscriminate aerial bombing has only increased, taking a deadly toll on civilians and leaving a legacy of trauma for survivors. In this episode, we take you inside a conversation with resistance artists and researchers who have been working with A New Burma, through their exhibitions in Thailand titled “When We See the Planes.” These events shed light on the tragic effects of air strikes – and people's refusal to succumb to this campaign of terror. By using art, performance, sound, and storytelling, these exhibitions serve as a beacon to highlight violations of international law and establish a record for transitional justice, while remembering those who have lost their lives. The events showcase the works of about twenty artists, including frontline Myanmar photographers, put together with the help of Thai curators. “When we do this kind of work, we want to it to be empathy-driven,” says Hnin, the founder of A New Burma. “We want to talk about this topic, not to give knowledge, but to speak to your heart.”

Newt talks with bestselling author Timothy Carney about his new book, "Family Unfriendly: How Our Culture Made Raising Kids Much Harder Than It Needs To Be". Carney argues that modern American parenting standards are unrealistic and contribute to record rates of anxiety, depression, and loneliness in children. He criticizes the culture of over-parenting and suggests that it's time to end this failed experiment. Carney also discusses the impact of technology, the fear of crime, and the pressure to succeed on parenting. He highlights the declining birth rates in the U.S. and globally, attributing it to factors such as career-focused lifestyles, housing costs, and a shift in cultural values. Carney suggests that policy changes, particularly in housing, could help support families and reverse the trend of declining birth rates.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tim and Marshall discuss the cultural, economic, political, and technological roots of America's falling birth rate, the gap between the number of children that families wish to have and the actual number they have, government's role in family formation and social policy, the role of class and region in parenting struggles, and the ways that individual parents can make navigate an increasingly difficult social environment.

In this episode, Tim Carney discusses the collapse of community and the decline in family formation as the biggest societal problems. He highlights the impact of family-unfriendly parenting culture and the pressure to constantly supervise and maximize every moment with enrichment activities. Carney emphasizes the importance of creating family-friendly communities with walkability, playgrounds, and support for free-range parenting. He suggests that policies such as a larger child tax credit and crediting time spent as a full-time caregiver towards social security work can help. Carney also emphasizes the importance of sacrifice and building a life where sacrifice for others is easy as the path to happiness.
