Send a textMike and Doug explore what it actually means to be yourself in a world constantly offering scripts. What begins as a conversation about shrinking, privilege, and cultural pressure turns into something more personal: what makes you the most you? The episode wrestles with the tension between self-awareness and self-erasure, humility and hiding, growth and authenticity. Instead of performing strength or apologizing for existing, the invitation becomes simpler and harder: lean into what is uniquely yours. Your voice. Your body. Your weirdness. Your fire. Honest, reflective, and at times provocative, this conversation circles one idea—be fully yourself. Everyone else is already taken.Want more?

 Virtue & VicesThis week we are ending our series Virtue vs Vice and we are going to confront a silent but dangerous enemy of the soul: apathy. In the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14–30), Jesus teaches that faithfulness is not about how much we have but about what we do with what we've been given. As we wait for Jesus' return, will we act in obedience or bury what God entrusted to us? Join us as we explore The Virtue of Faithfulness vs. The Vice of Apathy.   Series: Virtues & VicesSpeaker: Herber CamposScripture: Matthew 25:14-30Timstamps00:00 - What if, at the end of your life, the greatest regret is not what you did wrong; but what you never did at all?06:38 - Context of Matthew 25:14-3009:42 - Context of the Parable11:09 - Definition of Faithfulness12:18 - Definition of Apathy12:36 - Definition of Talent14:07 - Key lessons from Matthew 25:14-3022:30 - The Judgement26:28 - Faithfulness shows in doing, not just knowing28:23 - Summary29:29 - Conclusion31:10 - Prayer32:11 - Updates32:47 - Discussion & Prayer Focus#jesus #jesuschrist #mountainviewchurch #vices #virtues #faithfulness #apathySupport the show

Convidado: Fernando Abrucio, cientista político, professor da FGV-EAESP e comentarista da GloboNews. Então candidato de oposição ao governo de Jair Bolsonaro (PL), Lula (PT) surpreendeu o mundo político ao anunciar o convite para que Geraldo Alckmin (PSB) fosse o vice-presidente na chapa que concorreria nas eleições de 2022. O ex-tucano e adversário histórico do PT topou, e a estratégia deu certo: a dobradinha Lula-Alckmin se apresentou ao eleitor como representante de uma frente ampla e venceu a eleição. Quatro anos depois, presidente e vice demonstram ter excelente relação e trocam elogios em público, mas nada garante que a parceria irá se repetir na urna. Lula dá sinais de que a vaga está aberta para negociações com partidos de centro, como o MDB. O objetivo é ampliar alianças, conquistar mais palanques estaduais e municipais e aumentar o tempo de propaganda eleitoral. Na oposição, a pré-candidatura de Flávio Bolsonaro se consolida como a mais competitiva, de acordo com as pesquisas mais recentes. E já circulam especulações de potenciais candidatos a vice. Os mais citados são Romeu Zema, governador de Minas Gerais, do Novo, e Tereza Cristina, senadora pelo Mato Grosso do Sul, do PP. Para analisar a viabilidade de todas as estratégias eleitorais em jogo, Natuza Nery recebe o cientista político Fernando Abrucio. Ele, que é professor da FGV-EAESP e comentarista da GloboNews, comenta a situação de Geraldo Alckmin no governo e o que Lula busca nas conversas com partidos de centro; e avalia os nomes em torno de Flávio Bolsonaro.

 Virtue & VicesThis week we are discussing a calling that most of us feel unable to live up to: purity. Also a stumbling block that many of us would rather keep in the dark: lust.How many of us have done the work to try and actually understand purity and lust, and how many of us understand the way God sees these things?We see these two contrasting concepts brought up throughout scripture, we must acknowledge they are important, and how God views them.Series: Virtues & VicesSpeaker: Aaron MonesScripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:3-8Timstamps00:00 - Purity06:06 - Why did the ancient Israelites so often make blood sacrifices to God?09:02 - “The wages of sin is death.”11:46 - 1 Thessalonians 4:3-814:00 - 1 Thessalonians 4:316:19 - 1 Thessalonians 4:417:18 - 1 Thessalonians 4:5-620:25 - 1 Thessalonians 4:721:40 - 1 Thessalonians 4:824:58 - Romans 6:2326:52 - The call for us is that same as Paul's call to the Thessalonians church in his letter30:03 - Prayer30:52 - Updates31:45 - Discussion & Prayer Focus#faith #mountainviewchurch #jesuschrist #hope #forgiveness #vices #virtues #purity #lustSupport the show

In this episode of Big Blend Radio's “ABC's of Horses” equestrian podcast, Christy Wood discusses common horse vices such as cribbing, weaving, pawing, pacing, and chewing. These behaviors can signal underlying issues like boredom, separation anxiety, excess energy, or dietary imbalances. Christy explains how these habits develop, why they matter for a horse's physical and mental health, and what horse owners can do to manage and prevent them. The conversation emphasizes the importance of observation, honest horse management, proper nutrition, and providing adequate socialization and stimulation. Listeners will gain practical insights into recognizing abnormal behaviors early and creating healthier environments that support equine well-being and long-term soundness.

"Everybody having a shared sense of purpose and shared values… is just absolutely imperative." "I trust you, and I start from the perspective of trust." "I would always caution Western leaders… to not just fill up empty space." "Getting buy-in from a Japanese team is really hard. But… once you get buy in… you absolutely over-perform." "Identify who are the biggest obstacles… and move them immediately and publicly." Harry Hill is an American entrepreneur whose career in Japan began by chance and grew into one of the country's most recognised direct marketing success stories. His connection to Japan started in college after discovering Shorinji Kempo, which sparked an interest in Japanese culture and language. After studying Japanese for two years, he moved to Japan and worked as an English teacher, including a posting in Gifu Prefecture. A major turning point came when he worked as an international coordinator for a regional expo, building relationships with businesses across Gifu, Nagoya, and the wider Chubu region. After a short stint in New York as a bond trader, Hill returned to Japan in 1990 and began building businesses by spotting "holes in the market," including work as a sports agent and grassroots exchange initiatives. In Nagoya, he co-founded a relocation and real estate services company for multinationals. His most significant chapter came with Oaklawn Marketing and Shop Japan, where he spent around two decades shaping Japan's TV shopping and direct marketing landscape. Under his leadership, the business grew dramatically—expanding from roughly 15 billion yen to nearly 70 billion yen in annual sales, with around 1,000 employees. In 2009, NTT DoCoMo acquired 51% of the business, placing Hill in the rare position of leading a high-growth company inside a large, formal Japanese corporate structure. Now active in new ventures, Hill remains known for adaptability across industries and for a leadership approach shaped by building culture, empowerment, and sustained performance in Japan. Harry Hill's leadership story in Japan reads like a case study in adaptability—starting with accidental encounters and evolving into deliberate, high-stakes decisions across entrepreneurship, corporate growth, and cultural navigation. His early fascination with Shorinji Kempo led to a deeper interest in Japan's mindset: discipline, hierarchy, and the quiet social architecture that shapes how people organise themselves. That curiosity eventually turned into action—learning Japanese, moving to Japan, teaching English in Gifu, and then shifting into business after exposure to the Chubu region's commercial networks during a major expo. Hill's defining strength is an instinct for recognising market inefficiencies and cultural leverage points. He describes his work in terms of finding "holes in the market" and building solutions that fit the local context without fetishising Japanese exceptionalism. His belief that "people are people" becomes a strategy: focus less on what is uniquely Japanese and more on universal human needs—then customise execution with local sensitivity. This approach carried through to the growth of Shop Japan, where direct marketing and TV shopping became a platform for shaping entirely new product categories, particularly in home fitness. Yet the interview's most valuable leadership content emerges not from growth numbers, but from Hill's hard-won understanding of culture and execution under pressure. He recounts the challenge of building sustainable performance in a call centre environment—an area often defined by churn, stress, and transactional management. When turnover ran as high as 15–20% per month, the business could still be profitable, but it was unstable and costly. Hill's solution was cultural engineering: building shared purpose, professionalism, and empowerment so the work became meaningful, not merely repetitive. That emphasis on meaning also becomes a decision system. Hill talks about integrity as something employees can only judge through transparency and consistent action—particularly in Japan, where leaders are often physically and symbolically removed. He also flips a common managerial assumption: rather than demanding people "earn trust," he starts by giving trust and uses accountability as the mechanism that sustains it. For cross-cultural leadership, Hill offers a practical warning: Western executives often rush to fill silence, mistaking reflection for disengagement. In Japan, silence is frequently where thinking happens—where consensus-building and informal alignment (nemawashi) begin. The result is a leadership style that prioritises listening, synthesis, and decision clarity—then insists on execution. He frames this through his acronym VICES—vision, integrity, competency, efficiency, and sustained success—designed both as a checklist and a caution against ego. Across startups and conglomerates, Hill's core lesson remains consistent: leadership in Japan is less about charisma and more about building a culture that can perform through highs and lows, while removing obstacles before they poison the system. Q&A Summary What makes leadership in Japan unique? Leadership in Japan is shaped by comfort with hierarchy and role clarity, alongside a decision culture that values alignment before action. Japanese teams often expect leaders to manage the social process that precedes execution—consensus, context sharing, and careful calibration of group comfort versus productive discomfort. This dynamic connects closely to nemawashi and the ringi-sho style of organisational agreement, where the "decision" is often the final formal step after substantial informal work has already occurred. Why do global executives struggle? Global executives often struggle because they over-prioritise speed and verbal dominance. Hill cautions against filling silence, which can shut down participation and block honest input. Many leaders focus on getting things done without building the cultural environment that makes execution sustainable. Without that base, teams may comply with processes but withhold emotional commitment—leading to fragile performance and passive resistance. Is Japan truly risk-averse? Hill frames the issue less as risk aversion and more as uncertainty avoidance. Teams may resist actions that feel socially destabilising or poorly aligned, even when the underlying idea is sound. Once buy-in is achieved, however, Japanese teams can "absolutely over-perform," because commitment becomes collective and execution standards rise. The challenge is that alignment requires patience, credibility, and consistency—especially in environments where leaders rotate every three to five years. What leadership style actually works? The most effective style combines listening with decisiveness. Hill prefers to "set the table," step back to let others mediate, then synthesise and decide. This approach respects group process while maintaining leadership authority. It also supports a healthier culture: shared purpose, professionalism, empowerment, and clear standards. He emphasises that leaders must "walk the talk," because consistency is the difference between a winning culture and a chaotic one. How can technology help? Hill points to major media and technology shifts—digital TV, mobile, and smartphones—as forces that reshape business models. In leadership terms, technology can support decision intelligence by improving visibility into performance, customer sentiment, and operational bottlenecks. Tools such as digital twins, predictive analytics, and structured feedback loops can help leaders stress-test decisions before rollout, reducing uncertainty and accelerating alignment without undermining consensus. Does language proficiency matter? Language matters, but Hill's emphasis is more on behaviour than fluency. Leaders must demonstrate engagement beyond the inner circle, show curiosity about everyday work, and build trust through presence. Practical actions—wandering the organisation, listening to frontline voices, and respecting the social dance of decision-making—often matter as much as linguistic sophistication. Cultural literacy is the real multiplier. What's the ultimate leadership lesson? Hill's ultimate lesson is that culture drives sustained performance. Start with trust, listen first, and build shared purpose so employees believe their work matters. Then be unflinching about obstacles: identify cultural "cancers" and remove them quickly and publicly, because the organisation already knows who they are. Finally, celebrate small wins to reduce fear of mistakes and to keep momentum alive—sustained success comes from maintaining morale and standards through both gains and setbacks.

"Where there is patience and humility, there is neither anger nor loss of composure. Where there is poverty borne with joy, there is neither grasping nor hoarding. Where there is quiet and meditation, there is neither worry nor dissipation."This week, I'm reflecting on Of the Virtues putting Vices to Flight by Francis of Assisi, first published in English in 1906.Reflection questions:Where do you see evidence of a scarcity mindset within yourself?Which virtue do you want to cultivate this week?Reflection on quote:Last week in our series on cultivating an abundance mindset, we discussed how that mindset affects donors.  As we continue this series, for most organizational leaders, the amounts that must be raised during a capital campaign can be shocking and overwhelming, leading to a mindset of scarcity. In those overwhelming moments, we have to start the process of cultivating an abundance mindset within our team, the Board, the staff, and the campaign volunteers. And that process starts with ourselves.In the face of leading the organization through the most significant fundraising effort likely in the organization's history, what do these virtues do?  When we lean into patience and humility as leaders, we react calmly to the extensive time the campaign will take, knowing that cultivating an abundance mindset among our team and donors requires more intentional efforts. When there is poverty borne with joy, we as leaders communicate the reality that this capital campaign is larger than we can accomplish on our own and we invite volunteers and donors to join in the joy of accomplishing it together.  When we pause for quiet and meditation, even during the busiest seasons of the capital campaign, we calm the frantic efforts and worry that feeds into a scarcity mindset within us. As we keep practicing these abundance-building virtues, we will more quickly  escape the scarcity mindset and return to the abundance mindset.  This work has entered the public domain.What do you think?

Discover how drugs shaped empires, creativity, and chaos throughout history.From ancient battlefields to Victorian medicine cabinets, this week's episode of History Rage dives into the surprising — and often shocking — role of substance use across the ages. Host Paul Bavill is joined by historian and writer Sam Kelly (@humanhistoryondrugs) for a deep, thought-provoking journey through how drugs influenced the world's most famous figures, ideas, and empires.Together, they uncover how Alexander the Great, Sigmund Freud, Queen Victoria, and even Pope Leo XIII all encountered (and indulged in) mind-altering substances — often with world-changing consequences. From Freud's cocaine-fuelled psychology to the British Empire's opium trade, from religious visions to artistic inspiration, Sam and Paul reveal the hidden highs and devastating lows that shaped history's greatest moments.You'll learn how drugs were once tools of power and creativity, but also instruments of destruction. And, as Sam reminds us, it's never a simple story — these substances weren't inherently good or bad, but they were always influential.If you've ever wondered what connects emperors, popes, poets, and programmers — or how LSD helped inspire modern computing — this is an episode you won't want to miss.

Self-control often gets framed as restriction, but Scripture tells a different story. In Titus 2, Paul shows us that self-control is a grace-formed virtue meant for every generation.Indulgence distracts and enslaves, slowly pulling us off course without us noticing. But self-control gives direction, freeing us from our impulses so we can run toward what truly matters.This message explores how grace trains our desires and reshapes our daily choices.

My guest on the show today is Ash Carter, writer and editor for Air Mail magazine and all around chronicler of the post-war cultural elite. I asked Ash to come on after reading the most recent in a series of profiles he's written about great editors of the 20th century, some of whom, for reasons we discuss, were semi-cancelled in the last decade or two. He's written about, for instance, former New Republic editor and owner Marty Peretz, Peretz's longtime literary editor Leon Wieseltier, Vintage Classics legend Gary Fisketjon, New York Review Classics visionary Edwin Frank, and Dick and Jeanette Seaver of Arcade Publishing.It's a fun conversation that hits on a few of my abiding concerns: the legacy of the WASP elite on our culture and politics, the ways in which we should think about people who do bad things but have made great things, and graphic design, which Ash cares about more than the average magazine editor.I lead off the episode by saying something, perhaps against my better judgement, about Jeffrey Epstein (or Jeff Epstein, as we started calling him in my family for some reason).Here's what I say. I am genuinely befuddled.I was listening to Jay Kang and Tyler Austin Harper's podcast, Time to Say Goodbye, and they weren't full conspiracy on Epstein, but I'd say 70% conspiracy.Here's Harper, for instance, on a recent episode:it does appear to be true that …. There is an international network of very powerful pedophiles that have a not inconsiderable amount of leverage on various halls of power. It shouldn't be lost. We've said this on the show before, but two out of the last four presidents were people who were very friendly with Epstein. But I think the real story here is that, yes, you have this hard kernel of like true blue elite pedophilesAnd then on the other side of things I was reading some posts by Michael Tracey and Matt Taibbi, and their perspective seems to be that Epstein was basically an immensely sleazy guy who paid for sex with young women and didn't look too closely at whether they were over or under 18 but didn't necessarily have a particular desire to have sex with underage women. Their paradigm is that a lot of this is Russiagate style hysteria/moral panic, fueled both by conspiracy theorists of all stripes and by various political and media actors who are cynically pumping up the story to drive clicks and gain electoral advantage,Claude AI comes in somewhere in the middle, telling me that “the evidence strongly supports that Epstein … Epstein deliberately and systematically sought out minors. The infrastructure he built—the recruitment network, the payments, the documentation—wasn't consistent with someone who simply preferred young-looking women and occasionally made mistakes. It was consistent with someone whose preference was specifically for adolescent girls.”It also says that when it comes to the question of other men being involved, it's murky: “The names that circulate publicly—Clinton, Trump, Dershowitz, various billionaires—appear in flight logs or visitor records, but presence at Epstein's properties doesn't establish participation in abuse. Epstein cultivated legitimacy by surrounding himself with prominent people, many of whom may have had no idea what else was happening.”I say all this not to offer my own two cents but just to articulate the opposite, which is that I have no clue. The evidence is too vast, and my time too limited, to feel as though I can have a direct interpretation of the evidence, and many of the people to whom I typically turn for a relatively sober account of reality, against conspiracy theory, or moderately conspiratorial. And then the people like Tracey and Taibbi complicate things too, because although their extreme skepticism of official narratives is so often distortionary, and therefore not a good guide to what's actually going on, in some cases it can provide a very useful signal for when we should be skeptical of official narratives,They were more right than wrong about Russiagate, or at least right about certain things that most people got wrong. So is this Russiagate all over again, and if so, what the hell does that mean, because as I ponder the comparison I realize I still don't even know what to make of Russiagate?I don't know. It was always the case that the gatekeepers were wrong about some big things, but it used to be the case that we just swallowed their narratives anyway, because we weren't exposed to alternatives. Now we're living in this fractured informational environment where we're so much more acutely aware of the fragility of the conventional narratives, and so much more exposed to alternatives, but our brains haven't gotten bigger in proportion in order to sift through the data more efficiently and effectively.I spend a lot of time thinking and reading about these things, and have a lot of faith in my capacity to perceive what's going on most of the time with some accuracy, but here I'm just adrift, and I wonder if in my adriftness I'm experiencing firsthand something like what most people who don't think, read, and write about this stuff as much as I do experience when confronting the political world, and what role this plays in pushing them into self contained bubbles or tribes that replicate, in a way, the single narrative cognitive environment we all had back in the days of the gatekeepers. So there's still a conventional narrative that we have to protect us from too much cognitive dizziness, it's just that there are many of them at once.Anyway, that's my two cents on Epstein. I'll keep trying to get a handle on it, but I won't have any guests on to talk about it because who needs another podcast about the Epstein files.Hope you enjoy my conversation with Ash.Peace.

Southside Tribe! In this episode, we dive deep into why character—not clout—is the truest predictor of your future. From professional fighters' training habits to influencer culture and biblical humility, this conversation exposes how modern culture rebrands many vices as virtue and centers ego over growth. This episode challenges listeners to rethink what strength, success, and manhood really look like. Through powerful personal stories, Scripture, and practical examples, we paint a biblical, countercultural vision of selflessness and sacrifice as true power. If you've ever felt pressured to become bigger, louder, richer, or more dominant to “win,” this conversation invites you into a deeper and more freeing path: dying to self and becoming the kind of person whose character can carry real weight.

In this invited lecture at Marist College, hosted by the Catholic Studies Program as part of their Marcelin Lecture Series, I narrate some of the key points and developments in the story of how we ended up with the current list of the Seven Deadly Sins, which are: Gluttony, Lust, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, and Pride. Originally, these start out as the Eight Capital Vices, a list which includes sadness, acedia, and vainglory, and which does not include envy. So, how did we end up with the list we know today? The story involves Christian monks in the Egyptian desert, Benedictine monks, a reluctant pope, poets, scholastic professors, confessors, and mystics, and ranges over a millennium of thinkers and texts. In the process, I discuss some of the key players: Evagrius Ponticus, John Cassian, Gregory I, Alcuin, Peter Lombard, Thomas Aquinas, and Dante Alighieri This portion of the talk discusses the treatments of the seven deadly sins by poets ranging from Prudentius to Chaucer and Dante, and by mystics like St. John of the Cross. We also conclude by examining a few additional topics raised by questions from the audience.

Virtue & VicesWhat do you do when someone else's success quietly irritates you instead of inspiring you? James' letter to the church exposes how envy produces disorder while humility, shaped by the Spirit, creates peace.This Sunday, we'll explore how comparison corrodes the heart and why humility is not weakness but wisdom from above. We'll look at the difference between competing for recognition and resting in God's grace.If you've ever struggled to celebrate someone else's win, this message is for you.

 Virtue & VicesWhat do you do when life just keeps getting harder? In Joy vs. Despair, we're spending time in 2 Corinthians 4, where Paul writes from the middle of pressure, loss, and weariness.He's honest about how hard things are, but he refuses to let despair call the shots. We'll learn why despair doesn't get the final word, and why God is still at work, even here.The goal isn't to pretend things are fine or force a smile. We'll focus on the quiet work God is still doing in us, even when circumstances don't change.Series: Virtues & VicesSpeaker: Jeremy NortonScripture: 2 Corinthians 4:7–18Timstamps00:00 - Some mornings, you wake up, and you dread the day ahead05:41 - Paul writes this letter from the middle of pressure, loss, and weariness10:13 - We can learn from Paul that despair may come10:44 - Now, experiencing despair after a crisis is to be expected14:59 - And this brings us back to our text and Paul's situation19:56 - Despair, like any vice, has its foundation in sin23:22 - So, the invitation today isn't to deny pain or force joy25:51 - From now on, whenever Despair says, “This is the end,” let Jesus remind you, “God is still at work”26:15 - Prayer26:56 - Updates28:12 - Discussion and Prayer Focus29:03 - Come back next week#jesus #jesuschrist #joy #despair #virtues #vices #mountainviewchurchSupport the show

SERMON TITLE: Gratitude vs. Greed. SCRIPTURE READING: 1 Timothy 6:6–10. BOTTOM LINE: Gratitude turns what we have into enough; greed makes enough never enough. PROMO DESCRIPTION: This Sunday, we continue our series Virtues & Vices with a message that's needed after the holiday season: Gratitude vs. Greed. In a culture that constantly tells us we need more, Scripture offers a better way. From 1 Timothy 6, we'll explore why godliness with contentment is a great gain and how gratitude breaks greed's grip on our hearts. We'll discover the secret of contentment in every circumstance, not connected to guilt or better budgeting. True contentment is centred on the freedom and formation obtained through Jesus. Learn how the Spirit turns what we have into enough.  #GratitudeVsGreed #VirtuesAndVices #SundaySermon #SermonSeries #BiblicalTeaching#MountainviewChurch#GodSupport the show

SERMON TITLE: LOVE vs. PRIDESCRIPTURE PASSAGE: Philippians 2:3–8.KEY VERSE: Philippians 2:3 - Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count. BOTTOM LINE: Love humbles and serves; pride elevates and isolates.PROMO DESCRIPTION:Pride shows up quietly, even in good people doing good things. In Philippians 2, Paul contrasts self-centred ambition with the self-giving love of Jesus.This Sunday, we launch our new series, Virtues and Vices. As we look at the virtue of love and the vice of pride, we'll examine what's forming our hearts and shaping our relationships.Because Jesus humbled Himself for us, we're free to love others without needing to elevate ourselves. As we walk by the Spirit, He shapes our character from the inside out.#LoveVsPride#Philippians2#ChristLikeLove#Humility#ServantHeartSupport the show

In a time that seems to demand more and more of us, how do we balance a diligent work life with moments of leisure and pleasure? Listen in.

Why do so many men find themselves struggling with the same patterns their fathers struggled with: anger, distraction, work obsession, emotional distance, lust, even despite promising they'd be different? The truth is, fathers pass far more to their children than they realize. Not just beliefs or values, but habits, tone, priorities, and ways of relating that quietly shape the next generation. In this episode of The Catholic Gentleman, John Heinen and Devin Schadt expose five hidden vices that fathers often pass on without ever intending to. They challenge men to see what their children are already learning from them, and how to break destructive cycles before they become generational.

In this episode of The Collective Perspective, Jeff and Travis unpack the powerful patterns that shape our lives—our habits. From morning routines to hidden vices, we explore how habits can build character or quietly break it down. What makes a habit good, bad, or even sinful? And how do we retrain our minds and actions to reflect who we truly want to be? This conversation dives deep into personal discipline, spiritual awareness, and the small choices that lead to lasting transformation. Chapters (00:00:00) - Introduction: What Makes America Stronger(00:00:26) - Welcome Back: Catching Up with Travis and Jeff(00:01:13) - The Three Types of Habits(00:01:57) - Good Habits vs. Bad Habits(00:03:05) - Sinful Habits: The Seven Deadly Sins(00:05:51) - Daily Routines and Breaking Bad Habits(00:12:31) - The Struggle with Smoking and Vices(00:17:36) - Final Thoughts and Recommendations

Send us a textWhat if we judged vices by impact instead of labels? We kick off with an unflinching look at cocaine alongside alcohol, weed, sugar, gambling, and porn, and ask a harder question: are you functioning, or is the vice running your life? From there, we grapple with legality versus morality and how the loudest opinions often punish optics instead of outcomes. It's not about normalizing harm; it's about being honest and consistent.That honesty takes us through a risky media “experiment” thought experiment, and into a critique of the spectacle economy that rewards clips over rigor. We unpack the Diddy documentary as a case study in power, image, and control, and then confront “snitch” culture head-on. If the evidence is public, is curation ratting, or are we avoiding accountability by shaming messengers more than offenders? We challenge the idea of exporting street codes to the mainstream when the streets promise poverty, death, and prison—not a life worth modeling.Sports becomes the mirror. We vent about the Falcons—a franchise trapped in false starts and QB purgatory—and contrast that with fantasy football's clean incentives. Then we go deep on college football's broken design: TV-driven calendars, automatic bids that ignore quality, and portal timing that punishes both integrity and academics. We argue for a student-first schedule, smarter guardrails for NIL and transfers, and fewer corporate finance tricks shaping the sport. Bigger brackets won't fix a system built on perverse incentives; better structure will.We close on consequences and choice through the Michigan coaching fallout: don't mix power and romance at work, and if you do, own the decision instead of letting secrecy burn lives. Across every topic, the throughline is clear—set values, measure impact, and accept the cost. If that framework makes sense to you, hit follow, share this with a friend, and drop a review with the one change you'd make to college football right now.Support the show

In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Grace Hamman, who is an independent scholar of late medieval poetry and contemplative writing, and is the author of Jesus through Medieval Eyes as well as the book that we're discussing in this episode, Ask of Old Paths: Medieval Virtues and Vices for a Whole and Holy Life (published by Zondervan). Over the course of our conversation, we talk about the medieval understanding of virtues and vices, how they were categorized, and how they influenced medieval moral reasoning, and we learn how there's a lot that we could learn from Christians back then for our lives today.

Today's Topics: 1) Demon punching https://catholicexchange.com/demon-punching/ 2, 3, 4) In Part 29 of this series, Jesse and Eddie discuss "Vices that Militate against Justice," beginning on page 152, in The Liber Christo Method of Healing and Deliverance, by Dr. Dan Schneider

The conversation explores the challenges and strategies of managing our vices, specifically booze, sugar, digital devices in family life, focusing on the benefits of a digital detox for children and the importance of parental alignment in implementing these changes. Takeaways: Having an internal conversation about device removal is crucial. Getting on the same page with your spouse can lead to better outcomes. Removing devices can lead to significant changes in children's behavior. Limiting device usage can improve children's well-being. Parents need to have the courage to enforce device limitations. A digital detox can foster healthier family dynamics. Communication between parents is key to successful device management. Children thrive in environments with limited screen time. The impact of devices on children is profound and concerning. Creating a device-free home can enhance family interactions. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this grand saga of collective oversharing, we heroically wander through the conversational wilderness, armed only with nostalgia and questionable transitions. We reminisce about our glory days of rehearsal (which helped no one), recount our noble battles with Southern snow (mostly fought from the comfort of our driveways), and debate the ethics of eating deer while pretending we’re food critics. One minute we’re comparing duck blinds, the next we’re knee-deep in pajama theory, wondering how humanity ever survived the drop-seat era. We take bold detours into hygiene history, because nothing says entertainment like the evolution of soap. Our laughter veers between the profound and the slightly concerning, and by the end, we’ve somehow tied together sledding, venison, and bathroom humor into one frostbitten tapestry of self-discovery. It’s less a podcast, more a group therapy session for people who own too many flannel shirts.

In this episode of Wake Up, Look Up, Pastor Zach addresses how modern vices like pornography, gambling, and marijuana use have gone “invisible,” thriving in private spaces where no one can see or help until the damage is done. He warns that sin grows in darkness and calls believers to bring their struggles into the light through confession, accountability, and community. Ultimately, Pastor Zach reminds us that freedom is found when nothing masters us but Jesus Himself.Have an article you'd like Pastor Zach to discuss? Email us at wakeup@ccchapel.com!

How do we get the rest, the order, and the productivity levels that we need? As an adult the work never stops, so when do we say “when?” As humans we have desires that are legitimate and need to be fulfilled. Again, when do we say “enough” How much is “good” for us?

After a South African pastor claimed that Christ would come for his church on September 23, TikTok became rapture obsessed. Mike Erre joins Skye and Kaitlyn to discuss our ongoing fixation with this bad theology, why people get caught up in rapture predictions, and how it damages the credibility of the faith. Kaitlyn talks to Medieval scholar, Grace Hamman, about her new book, “Asks of Old Paths.” Hamman says Medieval literature is rich in wisdom for modern Christians on how to define a good life, using the language of virtues and vices. Also this week—a secular writer examines the benefit of confession and repentance, which makes us wonder why so few Christians practice it.
