What happens when a kid who simply loves to draw grows up to create some of the most recognizable cartoons of a generation? Ginny sits down with legendary animator Butch Hartman, creator of The Fairly OddParents and Danny Phantom, to talk about creativity, storytelling, faith, and why developing real skills still matters—even in the age of AI. Butch shares how his father encouraged his artistic gifts, his unlikely path from Michigan to Hollywood, and the years of learning that eventually allowed him to become not just an artist, but a writer, producer, director, and entrepreneur. Butch also shares the story of becoming a Christian at 35 and why he ultimately shifted his focus toward creating faith-filled entertainment for children. His latest project, The Garden, combines animation, music, humor, and Scripture in an effort to create uplifting children's programming at a level that can compete with mainstream entertainment. This is an especially encouraging conversation for parents raising creative kids. Butch challenges listeners not to fear AI or changing technology, but to keep learning, creating, and developing the gifts they've been given. His message is simple and hopeful: don't bury your talents—build them, use them, and see where they can take you. Learn more about Butch here! ** A huge thank you to our sponsors!

Psychologists Off The Clock: A Psychology Podcast About The Science And Practice Of Living Well
Every couple has to learn how to accept their differences. But when you're in a neurodiverse relationship, those differences aren't just quirks; they're completely different ways of experiencing the world. In this episode, we're getting real about love, autism, and how to actually understand each other in a conversation with psychologist and author Dr. Cindy Ariel, who drops by to chat about her book, Autism and the Two of Us. Cindy brings so many incredible insights to the table, including what autism actually is and why neurodiversity is just a normal variation of the human brain. She also gets into the nuances of identity-first vs. person-first language and why those choices matter, and busts some major myths and talks about redefining what "typical" love even looks like. Tune in for a genuinely eye-opening conversation on love, connection, and neurodiversity!Listen and Learn: Framing neurodiversity as the natural spectrum of variation in human minds Why the assumption that autistic individuals cannot sustain meaningful partnerships is a misconception The need to move away from standard expectations of romantic behavior, and why neurotypical and autistic partners often express love in vastly different ways Actionable insights on how partners can translate each other's emotional signals to build deeper connections How neurodiverse and neurotypical partners often interpret the same situation in vastly different, yet equally valid ways Moving past rigid expectations and deadlocks by co-creating custom, "third-way" solutions that meet both partners' unique emotional and practical needs Overcoming the "closeness communication bias" by learning to treat your partner how they want to be treated rather than relying on default assumptions Navigateing deep neurological differences by letting go of diagnostic labels and distinguishing between normal incompatibility versus toxic behaviorResources: Autism and the Two of Us: Love, Communication, and Neurodiversity https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/autism-and-the-two-of-us-how-understanding-each-other-can-help-you-build-a-stronger-lasting-love-cindy-n-ariel/b92004b21dec8780?ean=9781462560189&bkshp-astro=t alternativechoices.com Pre-order Yael's book and get pre-order bonuses!

In 1992, she cofounded Alternative Choices, an independent group psychology practice known for its work with LGBTQ families and with individuals on the autism spectrum. She is the author of several books on neurodivergent relationships, including her newest, Autism and the Two of Us: How Understanding Each Other Can Help You Build a Stronger, Lasting Love (Guilford Press). Dr. Ariel is widely recognized for her work with neurodiverse couples, combining clinical insight with advocacy for understanding, acceptance, and the celebration of all kinds of minds.

Not just Independence Day, but all month long, American citizens are celebrating our nation's semiquincentennial called “America 250.” Other fans from around the world are joining in! But some folks, of course, feel uncertain about such patriotism. Don't our countries have a lot of problems? Isn't our eternal citizenship in Heaven? Let's explore how Scripture endorses “the glory and honor of the nations.” And let's recall how fantastical stories illustrate this good love of our country.[1. Photo by Aaron Burden on Unsplash.] Episode sponsors Enclave Publishing: Worlds Collide by Clint Hall Above the Circle of Earth (softcover) by E. Stephen Burnett Iffy Eats Monsters for Breakfast by Bryan Timothy Mitchell Lorehaven Guild: July 2026 book quest for The Silver Chair Mission update New at Lorehaven: review of All That Glows Subscribe free to get updates and join the Lorehaven Guild 1. Why some struggle to love their homeland We'll disclaim illegitimate hatred or homeland, called oikophobia. Some prefer imaginary or opposite “homes” rather than real ones. Still others are rank traitors for bad reasons, and can be rejected. Yet more legitimately, “home” has a bad stigma for some people. We must not let “home was bad for me” turn into “it's bad for all.” Nor should we let this impulse turn into “the nation is bad for all.” Yes, a few countries are built on truly wicked foundations. But most are not—certainly not those with listeners to us now. Even if people do like America, however, they may feel guilty. A similar impulse occurs to Christians who like other earthly gifts. “Our treasure is in heaven, so nothing here on Earth matters.” Subtle gnosticism: if it all burns, why value these temporal places? 2. How stories remind us of good homelands Naturally we begin with the classics by authors who loved England. Lewis and Tolkien saw bad battles and offered critiques at home. But their stories remind us how good heroes fight for their peoples. Hobbits foresee the danger to the Shire and leave home to stop it. Aragorn loves his people and his country, despite their flaws. Faramir doesn't love weapons but “that [land] which they defend.” Narnia's kings and allies fight for her and for other good countries. The Horse and His Boy is about the good country of Archenland. Even harsh Calormenes, opposed to Narnia, have good qualities. Classic sci-fi by the French Jules Verne honors American spirit. Japanese stories adore American heroes, and we return the favor. On this side of the pond, stories show America's flaws and heroes. Independence Day (1996) shows a pulpified-U.S. fighting aliens. Transformers and Top Gun movies tend to follow that tradition. Overtly “patriotic” stories are more about flavor, not philosophy. Back in the UK, Stephen thinks Harry Potter shows this differently. Spoilers: Harry learns Prof. Dumbledore made a lot of mistakes. Yet the grown-up Harry chooses to stay on his mentor's side. And really, such open-eyed loyalty is the root of good patriotism. 3. And yes, good countries could last forever. These are good enough reasons to love even temporal gifts. But let's add more. I believe great nations are in fact eternal. Why? Because of direct promises about eternity in Scripture. By [the city's] light will the nations walk, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it, and its gates will never be shut by day—and there will be no night there. They will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations. Revelation 21: 24-26 John could have said “earthly kingdoms get destroyed.” He didn't. He clearly means us to think that earthly authorities can continue. And he specifically says “the glory and the honor of the nations.” It would appear that nations (groups of people) are not sinful. New Earth is the fulfillment of God's original purpose for Earth. So why not New Israel? New India? New Britain? New America? Could the “glory and honor” include fireworks? Hot dogs? Ideas? Jesus is King of all eternity. Yet other “kings” will also be known. Other verses refer to saints having leadership in the New Earth. Could some lands try different models? Monarchy? Democracy? Perhaps in the New Earth, we'll see the best of all those systems. Voting could continue, in some ways, certainly at smaller scales. If this seems weird, recall that nations are just large people groups. No prophecy implies a removal of today's diversity of humans. Nor does it imply that everyone will love everyone else the same. New Earth will not sanctify “everyone belongs to everyone else.” Surely, after loving Jesus most, we'll also love others differently. You'll love your own family “more” than other people's families. And if you were married, you'll love him or her more than others. So it is with countries. It's okay, even good, to have preferences. We want people to like their own spouses/families/countries most. So if that impulse will be right forever, it can also be right today. For more, read this: Why I Look Forward to America 250,000. Com station Top question for listeners Have you ever struggled to love your homeland? Next on Fantastical Truth Lots of folks have said plenty about Christopher Nolan's controversial retelling of Homer's classic The Odyssey. We might see the movie. Or we might not. In either case, this book is an absolute cornerstone not just of human literature, but of fantastical fiction. How did this hero's journey change the course of all other heroic legends after him?

Project Hail Mary gives us a spider-shaped rock creature with no eyes, no face, and a simplified vocabulary who makes a choice so selfless that four grown men on a podcast had to take a beat. That's the kind of movie this is. Andy Weir's third novel has been adapted by Lord and Miller — the filmmakers who made you cry about a Lego — and the result is a two-and-a-half-hour space movie where the most compelling relationship is between Ryan Gosling and a practical puppet made of granite.Pete, Tommy, Steve, and JJ dig into all of it: the parallel storylines that cut between Grace's amnesia-fueled space crisis and his reluctant conscription on Earth, the razor wire on the inside of the fence, Sandra Hüller's karaoke scene that had JJ in a puddle, and why Greig Fraser and Paul Lambert called this the most complex film they've ever worked on — including two Dune movies. The panel splits on whether the earthbound story or the space-bound story lands harder, and Pete makes a case that the movie's real antagonist isn't a villain at all but the weight of impossible choices.Watch & DiscoverWatch Now: Apple TV | LetterboxdOriginal Theatrical Trailer

We finally did it. We went to a non-Disney theme park… and it completely changed how we see Disney.After a family trip to San Diego and our first-ever visit to SeaWorld, we talk about the good, the confusing, and the expensive. From incredible animal encounters and empty rides to paid lockers, pricey food, and a roller coaster that nearly traumatized Tim, this day gave us a lot to think about.Then we stopped at Disneyland on the way home and everything snapped into focus. Food prices, quality, crowd control, cast members, and the little details Disney gets right without you even noticing.We also cover online reactions to our SeaWorld posts, a monorail breakdown evacuation we narrowly avoided, current Disneyland crowd vibes, and how we're rethinking our last-day Disney tradition to end trips on a happier note.If you've ever wondered whether Disney is really “worth it,” this episode might surprise you.

Real-time thriller ‘24', starring Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer, debuted on Fox on 6th November, 2001. The show's use of split screens, constant tension, and ticking clocks became its signature style, and the nerve-shredding pilot went on to win an Emmy for series creators Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran. But, in a post-9/11 climate, its terrorism theme was not a dead cert, and its marketing - featuring a fiery jetliner dropping from the skies - was withdrawn following the tragedy. Yet as America's mood shifted from grief to a hunger for justice, Sutherland's anti-hero, breaking the rules to protect his country, became the cathartic character the USA seemed to need. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly reveal how the series was nearly a comedy about a shotgun wedding; consider how the writers dealt with the numerous challenges thrown up by the format (e.g. how do you let Jack heal or sleep in real time?); and explain why it was on DVD, not TV, that the show truly left its mark… Further Reading: • ‘TELEVISION REVIEW; Racing in Real Time to Track Down an Assassin and a Daughter' (The New York Times, 2001): https://www.nytimes.com/2001/11/06/arts/television-review-racing-in-real-time-to-track-down-an-assassin-and-a-daughter.html?searchResultPosition=10 • ‘'24' Executive Producer On How The Series' Run Was Defined By 9/11' (Deadline, 2021): https://deadline.com/2021/09/24-tv-series-9-11-impact-20-years-later-1234823534/ • ‘Previously on 24' (Fox, 2001): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rJhHWoR0VM #TV #2000s #US Love the show?

There's a lot to unpack in this first episode and, while it's not the most exciting episode of the series, it informs us all of some very significant events on the horizon. We meet new characters, find new tensions with old ones, and even a budding new love. All in all, it's a pretty important episode, while not necessarily being the most action-packed, but definitely puts us on a path to a hell of a season. Moving away from the heavy drama of a zombie-adjacent apocalypse, Lauren discusses the Netflix show, Love on the Spectrum. It's a deep insight into the world of people on autism spectrum and what the journey of love looks for them, their partners, and their families. It's a fascinating show with some very interesting characters and an overall theme that resonates with Kevin for... reasons. Kevin then closes out the show with the recent horror film, Wolf Man. It's a new take on the werewolf story that really deals with family trauma and the way it is passed from generation to generation. This film is heavy on the metaphor, possibly to it's detriment, but it does have a very clear point of view. It also puts the viewer into a very claustrophobic setting which helps build the fear, despite the relatively simple overall premise. All in all it's a decent watch, though not the greatest horror film ever made. As always, thank you for watching. If you haven't already, don't forget to Like & Subscribe. We love new viewers!

Dec 22, 2024 GRAND PARKWAY BAPTIST CHURCHNeil McClendon, Lead PastorWhat Love Makes Us LoveI John 3:11-241. Love the message, v. 11-15Zoe is the absolute fullness of life, both essential and ethical. Life real and genuine, a life active and vigorous, devoted to God, blessed, in the portion even in this world of those who put their trust in Christ, but after the resurrection to be consummated by new and better experiences; including a more perfect body which will last forever.2. Love the opportunity, v. 16-22When you love the opportunity three things happen…a) think differently, v. 16b) see differently, v. 17c) love differently, v. 18To see means to perceive with the eyes, to discern, to ascertain, find out by seeing. Looking is directing your eyes in a particular direction but to see means to notice or become aware of something by using your eyes. “I would rather die right now than live a life of obvious ease in so sick a world.” -Nate Saint, Christian missionary, martyr 3. Love the simplicity of the Gospel, v. 23-24a) acknowledgementb) agreement c) surrenderMental worship…1. Is there anybody in your life that is hard to love right now? 2. Do you feel as if you have the life of eternity inside you longing to get out?3. Has the love of God caused you to do anything lately that you by nature wouldn't normally do?4. What does it sound like when your heart condemns you?5. Does the way you live give you assurance concerning your salvation?

Gerry Strain is a former Football player in Scotland. He played Football ( known as Soccer in America) for many many years and eventually he had to come to the understanding that he wasn't going to rise to the professional level that he aspired to for many reasons. He feels it had a lot to do with not being from the proper socio-economic class. Eventually, Gerry became an agent and now he's the Director of Hamilton Academical Football Club. When Gerry first contacted me, he sent me a list of women that have impacted his life. First and foremost, his mum and nana. Then he went on to mention his wife, Jennifer, his aunt Marie, his daughter, Grace and several co-workers and employers. Gerry is such a gracious Scott. Considering his experience growing up, Gerry shares stories of how his relationship with his mom was stained. He missed having a father that was a main stay in his life. That said, Catherine was on her own and was trying to do her best. Strain offered this as a description of his mother, " mom's biggest strengths were also her biggest weaknesses." Gerry says he has this same instinct, "the generosity and giving aspect."Gerry says that his mother taught him to watch out for not only his brother, but for his friends, family and neighbors. Though Gerry didn't have much, there was always someone in their neighborhood that was lonely and in need, if not food, at least companionship. Loyalty is one of the many gifts his mum taught him. "I have the same circle of people around me as I've had all my life. They're in that circle because I know they love me and care about me," continues Gerry. "But my own personal aspirations are to be as financially secure as I possibly can and earn as much as I can. I like to do a lot of positive things. I don't want to be wealthy to be the wealthiest guy in the room. I want to be wealthy so I can make a difference to someone." One of Gerry's favorite sayings is "your network is your networth."Nana, whose name was Josephine, played a different role in Gerry's life than his mum did. "She played a mothering role and I could tell her anything," according to Gerry. "I could have robbed a bank and committed fifteen murders and my Nana would have said I was innocent." My guest describes his Nana as a great woman, very strong, vary staunch in her beliefs and convictions. She taught both boys about loyalty, and what you should expect back and where you draw the lines.GERRY STRAIN ON SOCIAL MEDIA:https://www.linkedin.com/in/gerrystrain/ "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

“The Eucharist is the food that makes us hungry,” says Joe Laramie, S.J., so when he preaches, he hopes to stir his congregation “to deeper hunger for the Lord, to grow in deeper devotion to him.” Joe, the National Director of the Pope's Prayer Network and a preacher for the National Eucharistic Revival, preaches for the Fourteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time, Year B. After the homily, Joe joins host Ricardo da Silva, S.J. to discuss how the National Eucharistic Revival is trying to stir greater hunger for the Eucharist among U.S. Catholics. He shares ideas on preaching the mystery of the Eucharist in an accessible way and tells Ricardo about how his previous experience as a high school teacher has informed his preaching.
