The new believers had been taught both Good News and bad news. The result, even after 25 years, was encouraging and discouraging. Eve had been blamed as a Temptress. Adam had been elevated as a ruler. Village women were treated no better than the barnyard goats! This is why the Tru316 Foundation works to correct the bad news believed and taught by so many. When we look at the Hebrew and Greek texts underlying our beliefs we can true up our theology to match what the text actually says! Is this helpful? Yes! Is it vital? Absolutely! Please join with us at Tru316.com/partner. The Tru316 Foundation (www.Tru316.com) is the home of The Eden Podcast with Bruce C. E. Fleming where we “true” the verse of Genesis 3:16. The Tru316 Message is that “God didn't curse Eve (or Adam) or limit woman in any way.” Once Genesis 3:16 is made clear the other passages on women and men become clear too. You are encouraged to access the episodes of Seasons 1-11 of The Eden Podcast for teaching on the seven key passages on women and men. Are you a reader? We invite you to get from Amazon the four books by Bruce C. E. Fleming in The Eden Book Series (Tru316.com/trubooks). Would you like to support the work of the Tru316 Foundation?

Edge City is one of the most exciting, fun, engaging, dynamic communities of which I'm a part -- and here I get to interview one of the founders! (This is very exciting for me.)Edge City runs month-long "pop-up villages" — 500 to 1,000 people from tech, science, culture, and art, gathered in one small, walkable town, building things together. In Timour's words, "It's got the dynamism of a city, with the vibe of a village — that's kind of a design principle for us."In my words: It's like summer camp meets a tech conference ... and it's also a hotbed of attraction. :)But what happens when you meet someone in an environment where you absolutely will run into them again? What if you don't want to make her uncomfortable by asking her out? How do organizers think about this?As Timour puts it, "We are in a weird time when it comes to dating.” But don't worry -- we discuss the anonymous "crush" feature that could change everything.We also get into the dating dynamics at the village specifically, including my feeling of being surrounded by attractive men and yet noticeably under-approached. We cover the couple whose second date really was an entire month-long event, and the strange twist where Timour says this is actually the opposite of Burning Man's infamous "playa romance" phenomenon.If you've ever wondered whether there's a real-world alternative to the apps — something that isn't just another platform — this one's worth your full attention.—Come to Edge City!The next Edge City is in Goa, India from Oct 11–Nov 1.

Become an Israel Guys member → https://israelguys.link/member-T4C  When Knesset Member Zvi Sukkot entered a local village to personally demolish a monument glorifying a notorious terrorist commander responsible for the murder of innocent Israelis, it set off a firestorm across the Israeli government.  Why was a shrine honoring a suicide bomber standing in the first place? And why is the IDF stopping Israeli leaders from tearing down these terror monuments?

Become a supporter at https://www.patreon.com/c/IrishpodcastOn 26 August 1940, two German aircraft crossed the coast of County Wexford and flew towards the small village of Campile. One aircraft dropped bombs near Ambrosetown, while the other attacked the tiny village of Campile a few miles further east. Three women, Mary Ellen Kent, Catherine Kent and Kathleen Hurley were killed. The bombing shattered the belief that Ireland's neutrality could protect it from the Second World War. It also ignited a debate that has lasted for decades: Was the attack intentional or were the pilots lost? While politicians attempted to reduce tensions, investigations by An Garda Síochána and Irish Military Intelligence reached disturbing conclusions. They believed Campile had been deliberately targeted by the Nazis. In this episode I explore what happened. I also explore why Irish Military Intelligence were convinced the Nazis intentionally bombed this tiny Irish village at the height of the Battle of Britain and what it purpose it served.

Marriage and family therapists play a vital role in mental health care, helping millions of individuals, couples, and families navigate conflict, strengthen relationships, and build healthier family systems. But what does it really take to create a family environment where every person feels heard, supported, and empowered to grow? In this episode of Let's Have This Conversation, we sit down with Angela Caldwell, MA, LMFT, a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, founder and director of the Caldwell Family Institute in Los Angeles, educator, speaker, and specialist in family-based treatment. Angela has spent more than a decade teaching graduate students and currently serves as an adjunct professor at California State University, Northridge, where she teaches systems theory and related courses. Her clinical work includes specialized training and experience in family-based treatment for non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), while her broader mission focuses on helping families discover shared values, improve communication, navigate conflict, and support one another's growth. Angela's approach to family therapy is deeply influenced by her upbringing in El Paso, Texas. Growing up within a bilingual border culture taught her the importance of adaptability, resilience, openness, and learning to understand people beyond the words they speak. Those experiences continue to shape how she reads family dynamics, recognizes nonverbal communication, and creates space for multiple personalities and perspectives within the therapy room. Her years as a competitive athlete also provided lessons that continue to influence her clinical practice. Sports taught Angela discipline, optimism, perseverance, and how to balance compassion for difficult emotions with the determination required to pursue meaningful change. At the heart of Angela's philosophy is a familiar but powerful idea: it takes a village to raise a child. The challenge is that many parents struggle to find their village—and even when that support system exists, people may not know how to effectively support parents and children. During our conversation, we explore what healthy family systems really look like, how parents and families can communicate through conflict, why resilience matters during difficult seasons, and how families can build a stronger sense of connection and belonging. We also discuss the relationship between individual growth and the larger family system, the role of shared values, and why supporting parents requires a community willing to participate in the work. Angela has shared her expertise with audiences at local, state, and national conferences and has been featured in outlets including Authority Magazine, Motherly, the New York Post, POPSUGAR, Verywell, and the Healthified podcast. She is also working on a series of books exploring what it means to create the modern-day "village" families need to thrive. This conversation is for parents, therapists, educators, mental health professionals, caregivers, and anyone interested in strengthening family relationships and creating communities where children and families can flourish.

Host Steve Turk interviews Melissa Blettner, CEO of Boyd Hollow Resorts and Ancient Lore Village in Knoxville, Tennessee. Melissa explains founder Tom Boyd's book inspired mission to create a fantasy village where only good exists and guests leave happier, kinder, and friendlier. She shares her hospitality start from an XL Inn front desk job to studying hospitality management, advancing through roles in front office, sales, and leadership, and spending 20 years at Great Wolf Lodge building brand culture, openings, and a large call center with strong standards. After Great Wolf's culture shifted following Blackstone's acquisition and a corporate move to Chicago, she consulted before joining Boyd Hollow. Ancient Lore Village offers 14 themed dwellings on 67 acres, day passes, dining, axe throwing, archery, events, retreats, and weddings, and is expanding with Boki's Trek Experience and an Ancient Lore Wellbeing Retreat.00:00 Show Kickoff00:31 Sponsor Lodgify01:34 Meet Melissa02:23 Ancient Lore Origin04:03 First Hospitality Job06:08 Breaking Into Hotels07:51 Career Steps Forward10:18 Great Wolf Breakthrough12:44 Growing at Great Wolf16:13 Call Center Culture17:41 Brand Building Playbook21:19 Leaving After 20 Years22:12 From Mars To Buyout22:49 Dream Big Consulting Reality24:24 Finding Boyne Hollow26:19 What Ancient Lore Offers28:23 Managing Crowds And Groups30:39 Small Resort Big Opening32:20 Guests Define The Magic34:41 Future Attractions And Wellness36:02 Luxury Not Kitschy Design40:13 Team Growth And Mentorship42:10 Advice And Farewell

Episode SummaryOto sits down with longtime friend Christopher August — bestselling author, breathwork facilitator, and co-founder of Beats and Breath — for a wide-ranging conversation on identity, awakening, and the nervous system. Christopher traces his path from a corporate career and a master's degree to two years living in a rural Tanzanian village, and then to the moment that changed everythingA near-death experience on a class-five rapid on the Zambezi River, where he lost consciousness and came back with a completely new relationship to breath. From there they dig into the Gene Keys system (shadow, gift, and Siddhi frequencies), the "great solar flash" prophecy tied to 1987/2012/2027The difference between sympathetic and parasympathetic breathing, and how breathwork and plant medicine can overlap — before closing on Christopher's Mastery Collective, his Beats and Breath app, and a live guided breath with the audience.Chapters / Timestamps (Shifted +1:00 to account for the trailer at the top of the episode)00:00 – Trailer 01:00 – Intro & Meet Christopher August 03:00 – Leaving Corporate for a Village in Tanzania 05:00 – The Near-Death Experience on the Zambezi River 08:00 – Identity, Ego Death & the Path of Letting Go 14:00 – Masculine, Feminine & the Great Inversion 17:00 – Christopher's Core "Why" 18:00 – 2020, Lockdowns & Building Community in Buffalo 21:00 – Oto's Own 2020 Story: A Cop, a Mask & a Ticket 23:00 – Post-Jab Symptoms & Holding Space Without Judgment 26:00 – What Are the Gene Keys? 28:00 – Shadow, Gift & Siddhi: The Three Frequencies 30:00 – Your Gene Keys Profile as a Soul Blueprint 33:00 – Avoiding the Identity Trap 36:00 – The Great Solar Flash & the Birth of Human 6.0 39:00 – As Above, So Below: Humanity's Densifying/Awakening Split 41:00 – The Coming Timeline Bifurcation 44:00 – Building Sovereign Community Hubs 45:00 – Oto's Announcement: Building Alternative Digital Infrastructure 46:00 – Breathwork as Protection From Energetic Parasites 48:00 – Trauma, the Nervous System & Why We Stop Breathing Deeply 50:00 – Breathwork & Plant Medicine: Where They Overlap 55:00 – The Hijacking of Cannabis & Why Sourcing Matters 57:00 – Sound, Frequency & the Beats and Breath Method 1:00:00 – Beatboxing, Breath Capacity & a Video Break 1:02:00 – Recovering From the Jab: Fasting, Detox & Fundamentals 1:06:00 – The Power of Subtraction Over Addition 1:08:00 – Inside the Mastery Collective & Beats and Breath App 1:10:00 – A New Partnership Announcement 1:12:00 – Final Words: A Guided Breath to Close 1:14:00 – Closing & Where to Find ChristopherKey TakeawaysChristopher's near-death experience on the Zambezi River in 2014 — losing consciousness underwater and being resuscitated — became the foundation of his breathwork practice, which he describes as "being born again."The Gene Keys system, created by Richard Rudd, combines human design, astrology, and the I Ching into 64 archetypes, each with a shadow, gift, and Siddhi frequency, used as a framework for self-understanding.Christopher's rule of thumb with the Gene Keys: focus 90% of your energy on the gift, 10% on the shadow — the shadow is a gateway, not an identity to collapse into.He points to a prophecy tied to Gene Key 55 with three marker points — 1987, 2012, and 2027 — describing a gradual "mutation" tied to humanity's collective awakening.For recovery and general health, Christopher emphasizes fundamentals over complexity: breath, fasting, clean water, sunlight, and nervous-system regulation (shifting from sympathetic "fight or flight" into parasympathetic "rest and digest").He and Oto announced they'll be partnering to bring the Gene Keys/breathwork/somatic framework into Oto's academy.Learn More / ConnectChristopher August — https://christopheraugust.coCONNECT WITH OTO: Instagram – https://instagram.com/otogomes Website – https://otogomes.live(This episode touches on personal health decisions and detox practices; it's for educational and entertainment purposes only, not medical advice.)

Making new mom friends sounds simple enough until you're actually in the thick of it, and that's where Molly Menning found herself after becoming a full-time stay-at-home mom of two. Many of her mom friends had gone back to work or had kids in different stages, and the daytime hours at home started to feel really isolating.So she decided to try something simple: a weekly, drop-in playgroup at her house for local moms – and it worked!In this episode, Molly talks about how she started the playgroup, the vulnerability of hosting, what happens when everyone cancels, and why the price of community might sometimes be disappointment.If you've been waiting for someone else to create the thing you wish existed, this might be your nudge to go first.In this episode you'll hear about:Why loneliness hit Molly differently when she became a full-time stay-at-home momHow a Canva invite turned into a weekly “come as you are” drop-in playgroup with coffee and kid snacksWhy two moms showing up is not a failure, and how small gatherings can become the beginning of real communityThe reframe we all need when people cancel, plans shift, or the turnout is smaller than we hopedWhy hosting does not have to mean cleaning your house, throwing a party, or doing everything yourselfResources & LinksEpisode 6: The Secret to Hosting a Gathering (Hint: You're Probably Doing Too Much)Episode 155: How to Host on Any Budget (and Not Fall Into the Martha Stewart Trap)Episode 171: Why (and How) You Should Start Initiating Recurring Social GatheringsLike what you hear?

In this episode of The Mindful Womb Podcast, I sat down with my friend and colleague Megan Peasely of Illuminated Birth & Co. As doulas and childbirth educators, we talk about something we both feel deeply passionate about: the importance of finding your village.We explore why local support matters, how your provider and birth setting can shape your experience, and why having people in your corner who understand the landscape of care in your area can make such a meaningful difference. We also discuss how childbirth educators, doulas, and community spaces can help bridge the gap between information and true support.At its heart, this conversation is a reminder that birth was never meant to be navigated alone.In this episode we cover:Why provider fit matters more than many people realizeQuestions to ask when choosing a hospital or birth settingThe difference between generic birth education and local birth knowledgeHow teaching hospitals and community hospitals can create different experiencesWhy advocacy starts long before labor beginsHow doulas and childbirth educators help families navigate the maternity care systemThe importance of building your support system before your baby arrivesPractical ways to find your village in your local communityIf this episode leaves you realizing that birth advocacy starts long before labor, you might also enjoy my Birth Advocacy Toolkit, which can help you feel more confident navigating conversations with your care team and making informed decisions throughout pregnancy.Resources MentionedIlluminated Birth & Co.DoulaMatch.netFREE Massachusetts Pregnancy GuideNo matter where you are in your pregnancy journey, I hope this conversation reminds you that you do not have to figure this all out alone.

Padraic Scanlan — Multi-Part, Part One: Padraic Scanlan explores the deep-seated historical and economic causes of the Great Irish Famine, beginning with the haunting folk memory of Queen Victoria's visit to Skibbereen, a village that became an icon of social collapse and starvation. While the crisis was triggered by the failure of potato crops, Scanlan emphasizes that the vulnerability of the Irish population was manufactured through centuries of British conquest and colonial land management. By the nineteenth century, a tiny oligarchy owned the vast majority of Irish land, with 4,000 people controlling 80 percent of the island. The rural economy rested on a fragile three-legged stool consisting of the potato, the pig, and turf for fuel. The potato served as the glue of this system, allowing landlords to maintain a low-wage, capital-poor labor force that could survive on small, high-yield plots. The economic landscape was further constrained by the conacre system, short-term and expensive leases for tiny parcels of land that discouraged any improvements, as visible prosperity might prompt a rent increase. This precarious existence was justified by influential Victorian economists such as Thomas Malthus, who argued that famine was a dreadful resource of nature necessary to check population growth and compel the uncivilized poor to work. When the novel pathogen Phytophthora infestans arrived from the Americas in the early 1840s, it decimated the genetically uniform potato monocrop. The blight not only killed the growing tubers but also rotted stored supplies, leaving the two million people who relied exclusively on the potato with no buffer against catastrophe. (1)

We're back with season 4 of the M is for Mama podcast, and we're kicking it off with one of my favorite people, Jennifer Flanders. In this episode, we chat about all things “village” in motherhood.It's no secret that moms need help, but the ultimate question is from where? And what do we do when we're in seasons of little or no help from our community?We tackle these questions (and lots more) with personal experience and, so much more importantly, truth from God's Word. Whether your mom lives down the street and comes over every day to help or you live 500 miles from your closest family member and don't even have a reliable babysitter you can pay, be encouraged that the Lord's strength is sufficient for all He has called you to, and that strength is perfected, not diminished, in your weakness.

The 20 percent who love the fight own the microphone. This is a conversation about how the other 80 take it back. Manu Meel runs BridgeUSA, a student-led movement for constructive dialogue now on college campuses across the country. Liz Joyner founded The Village Square and has spent two decades rebuilding civic trust hometown by hometown. Together they make the case that the sharpest divide in America is no longer left against right, but open against closed, and that the most countercultural act available to any of us is a real conversation with someone we can't stand.

Meel argues the real split is temperament: builders versus breakers, open versus closed. Politics maps onto it poorly, which is why so many people feel homeless in the current fight. The exhausted majority is the whole game. Twenty percent love the conflict and control the mic; everyone else is worn out by it. Whether that 80 percent checks out or takes the mic back is the question that decides things. The rebellion is the conversation. Meel describes Bridge chapters filling with first-time students the night of Charlie Kirk's assassination, and the organization adding tens of thousands of followers with no ad spend. Outrage is the establishment now; curiosity is the counterculture. About Our Guests Manu Meel is the co-founder and CEO of BridgeUSA, a student-led movement that brings young people across the political spectrum into the same room for honest conversation. A 2020 UC Berkeley graduate and Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, he serves on the boards of Braver Angels, Convergence, and American Promise, and hosts the podcast The Hopeful Majority. Liz Joyner is the founder and president of The Village Square, a nonprofit that rebuilds civic trust between neighbors who don't look or think alike. Based in Tallahassee, she has led the organization for close to two decades and helped pioneer the community-level model much of the bridging field now draws on.
