In this first episode from our Thailand25 gathering with movement leaders and teams from nine nations, we hear from Mike, who has seen hundreds of groups multiply in Hong Kong. He shares about modelling what you want to see multiply as a disciple maker. After all, we model what we love. 1. John 15:5–17 "This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples." (verse 8) How does modelling work in John 15?The Father models love → Jesus → disciples → others.That's four generations of reproduction—love expressed through obedience. “They will not follow and imitate what you know but what you love.” (Mike) 2. Mike asks AI Mike asks ChatGPT how to start a DMM that will flourish and spread. Chat gives a great answer—but will Chat's answer actually start a movement? No. Because ChatGPT doesn't love anything! “Movements are based on love that is modelled, observed, and imitated!” (Mike) We must learn to love God and love the lost. DMM isn't about strategies or ideas—it flows from love. And love is nurtured through prayer. Without prayer of sacrifice, there is no love for the lost. Prayer and modelling go hand in hand: modelling how much we love God and how much we love the lost. 3. Stories (Man in Wheelchair and Mike's daughters) Man in Wheelchair: Mike and Steve share Jesus with a man in a wheelchair. Soon the community around him begins to grow in faith. He invites his wider network to hear more about Jesus. Mike doesn't think he's doing DMM the “right way,” yet multiplication happens. One man begins a Discovery Bible Study with another new believer—and has a vision to see him become a disciple maker too. All of this starts simply because he observed and imitated Mike's love. Mike's daughters: Mike's extroverted daughter shares Jesus with someone using the beaded bracelet, just like her dad. She is imitating his love. Another time, Mike's extremely shy daughter tells him that a “little voice” in her head is urging her to go to the park to meet a family. She obeys, meets the family, and boldly shares about Jesus with her bracelet. Love reproduces through generations. 4. Final Encouragement “If we are going to multiply, we have to keep praying. We have to keep loving the lost. Our modelling is not just for the people we are modelling to—it's about them seeing how much we love God, how much we love the people around us, and how much we love sharing Jesus. They will see it. And they will not do what you know—they will do what they see you love.” (Mike)

Men's Wheelchair Tennis: Japan's Oda Wins US Open to Complete Career Golden Slam

Ever wondered what happens when a housing ladder turns into a pyramid, a mortgage that outlives its owner, and funding applications start behaving like job adverts? Then this is the episode for you!Welcome to The People's Countryside Environmental Debate Podcast where you, the listener, send in questions for co-hosts Stuart ‘The Wildman' Mabbutt and William Mankelow to conversate around.In today's episode we once again welcome back Alex Kauffmann to ‘The Listener's chair. Alex has been in the ‘Listener's Chair' so often that it already feels like home for him.The first listener question for today's episode comes from Grace in Ipswich, England and is as follows: “We have pressures put upon us and by ourselves and others in the UK to get on the housing ladder. Is being on there really important, or is it more about people higher up the pyramid enslaving us to debt?”From Grace's question, Stuart highlights the difficulty of paying off mortgages, that it's hard to pay the mortgage off in your own lifetime with current wages. He stresses that housing should be about shelter, and questions whether progress on the housing ladder is real.Alex shares his hope of becoming a homeowner, admits it's harder than expected, and says he values a home that meets needs rather than something excessive.William raises concerns about intergenerational mortgages, which Stuart brings as potentially being a thing in Japan. He goes on to distinguish between buying a house and climbing the housing ladder, and argues it's not essential to be on the ladder.The second listener question comes Lilly in Summertown, Oxford, England: “Many say in the UK grant funders in the UK make it difficult for those seeking funding as they have different agendas and methodologies that applicants have to tap into. Yet if funders worked together, streamlined, it could iron out some of the duplication work. Funders could pool their efforts so people seeking funding have less hoops to jump through. I see to that funders want applicants to justify their impact, whereas refocusing on asking applicants what they need, to be even more impactful, could be more beneficial. Yet other people say applicants should just accept its hard work getting funding and funders are in actual fact already communicating to iron things out. Are we too willing to accept these days?”From Lily's question William notes the challenges of grant funding, describes the application process as a filter, and warns that securing funding is just the start of the hard work.Stuart, who recalls meeting Lily, the person who has set this question, at a consultation, reflects on the importance of genuine impact assessments, and insists funding is only as hard as people make it.Alex says collaboration between funders is possible, though he admits has little experience in this area, and encourages listeners to pursue their ideas without fear of failure.What do you make of this discussion?

Men's Wheelchair Tennis: Tokito Oda Reaches US Open Semifinals for First Time

We've got one last look back before we plunge into the future. This week we're taking it way, way back to Episode 26 with the amazing inventor Dean Kamen. From Episode 26 - September 26, 2019: Dean Kamen is one of the greatest inventors of our time. He invented the Segway, the first drug infusion pump, and the Slingshot–a water purification device that requires no filters, can turn almost any kind of water into drinking water and can operate using cow dung as fuel. He also invented the LUKE (Life Under Kinetic Evolution) prosthetic arm for the Department of Defense's DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency). And now, Dean has invented invented a revolutionary all-terrain electric wheelchair known as the iBOT. He rode to our interview with your host Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) on the newest version that he unveiled to the world this week in New York–and shares why it can change history not just for the disabled and wounded veterans–but for everyone. Like all our guests, Dean Kamen is an iconic, important and inspiring American. One who's shaped what America has been in the past, is in the present, and more than any other guest we've had so far, he's shaping the future. One of Dean's proudest accomplishments is founding FIRST® (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), an organization dedicated to motivating the next generation to understand, use and enjoy science and technology. This year FIRST® will serve more than 1 million young people, ages 6 to 18, in more than 86 countries. High-school-aged participants were eligible for more than $50 million in scholarships from over 200 leading colleges, universities, and corporations. Dean Kamen was Elon before Elon. But not all messed up. He's a much better person, he's a much better creator, he's a much better visionary and most importantly he's a helper. -WATCH video of Paul and Dean's conversation. -Learn more about Independent Veterans of America and all of the IVA candidates.  -Join the movement.

In this episode of r/entitledparents a person with two broken feet gets accosted for their wheelchair. If this isn't the height of ridiculousness then I don't know what is. Have you ever had a broken foot or leg? How about two? Do you know what its like to walk on them? That's right. Impossible. I often wonder how entitled people would feel if they were treated in the same way that they treat others. They'd probably ask for the manager, or if you dont work there they'll call your house and cry to your actual mom and dad. Mad entitled parents shenanigans.

What does gender equity really mean in a sport as physically demanding and strategically complex as wheelchair rugby? In this episode, we dive into a groundbreaking research project that's challenging assumptions and driving change for women in para-sport. Through personal reflections and expert insights, we explore why representation matters, how performance is measured, and what it takes to build inclusive pathways for female athletes.Joining the conversation are Dr Thomas Rietveld from the Peter Harrison Centre for Disability Sport at Loughborough University, Richard Allcroft, President of World Wheelchair Rugby, Lauren Templeton, Regional General Manager for Europe at World Wheelchair Rugby, and Jason Brisbane, Chief Executive Officer of Great Britain Wheelchair Rugby. Together, they share personal insights, strategic goals, and reflections on the Women's Cup in Paris — a key testing ground for inclusive rule changes like the 0.5-point classification for female athletes. Whether you're a coach, policymaker, athlete, or simply curious about the future of inclusive sport, this episode offers a compelling look at how data, collaboration, and lived experience are shaping the next phase of wheelchair rugby.Intros: 0:00Gender Equity: 4:19 The research: 11:11 The rule change: 15:56 The athlete voice: 21:44 Collaboration: 28:42 Research call to action: 34:33 Takeaways: 36:46#loughborough #university #education #student #Experts in sport #podcast #sport #research #experts in health #fitness #women #women's health #women in sport #women's hub #world cup #rugby #women's rugby #wheelchair #wheelchair rugby #gender #equity

Wheelchair Tennis: Kamiji, Montjane Reach US Open Women's Doubles Semifinals

For years, Clauddine “Dee Dee” Blanchard convinced doctors, charities, and neighbours that her daughter Gypsy Rose was gravely ill. Wheelchair-bound, tube-fed, and said to have cancer and muscular dystrophy, Gypsy appeared to be the perfect symbol of courage. But behind closed doors was a world of control and abuse—medical lies fueled by Munchausen by proxy. In 2015, the façade ended in murder. Gypsy and her boyfriend Nicholas Godejohn killed Dee Dee in a desperate bid for freedom, sparking one of the most infamous true-crime cases of the century.The One Minute Remaining LIVE show in Melbourne tix on sale NOWBecome a Patreon or Apple + subscriber now for ealry and ad free access from as little as $1.69 a week.

Today on part two the Rarified Heir Podcast, we continue our conversation with Sharyn Felder, daughter of the late, great songwriter Doc Pomus and trust us, this episode is as jam packed and fun-filled as part one from last week. Last week we spoke to Sharyn on the release day of a new box set of her father's music, You Can't Hip a Square: The Doc Pomus Songwriting Demos on Omnivore Recordings, a six-CD set of lost, archival tracks. We continue that conversation today and learn that there just may be more tracks in her father's archive that have never been released co-written by a very famous musician from New Orleans. We also hear more about her father's second career as a card player when the royalty money dried up in the 1970s and the characters who inhabited that word – the mobsters, the octogenarians, the hypochondriacs, the gun-toting security and more. We also learned why the games stopped (take a guess) and how Doc began the second phase of his songwriting career, years after his career started. Sharyn's colorful stories on this episode include two very popular music business folks who absolutely hated each other, Doc Pomus' connection to a massive film in the 1970s that launched a comedy duo and became part of pop culture icons, how a bathhouse singer gained massive fame via Doc's help but never acknowledged it publicly and much more. Part two is every bit as good as part one as you will hear right now on this episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast. Everyone has a story.  

What if your mindset could literally heal your body at the cellular level? Carey Mencarini extraordinary journey proves it's not just possible—it's transformative.Wheelchair-bound, on oxygen, and given mere months to live with an ALS-like diagnosis in her early 40s, Carey refused to accept this fate. Her two young sons needed her, so she embarked on a healing journey that would defy all medical predictions. Through IV vitamin therapy, extended water-only fasting, and most critically, harnessing the power of her mind, she completely reversed her condition.The science behind her recovery is fascinating. IV therapy bypasses digestive issues to deliver pharmaceutical-grade nutrients directly to cells starving for proper nutrition. Extended fasting triggers the body to generate stem cells naturally, replacing damaged cells with healthy ones. But Carey's most powerful discovery was how our thoughts directly impact cellular function—"What we think, our body hears all the time."This episode dives deep into the neuroplasticity of the brain and how concentrated positive thought can physically transform our cells. As Carey's explains, "If you can harness the power of your mind, anything is possible." This isn't about toxic positivity or denying reality—it's about understanding that our mindset is a legitimate health tool that amplifies everything else we do for our wellbeing.For anyone facing health challenges or simply wanting to age with vitality, this conversation offers actionable wisdom: start your day with prayer or meditation, move your body for just 15 minutes to generate feel-good hormones, and focus on nutrient-dense, minimally processed foods. Most importantly, recognize that the conversation happening between your ears might be the most powerful determinant of your health outcomes.Ready to discover your own healing superpower?

In this episode of The People's Countryside Environmental Debate Podcast, co-hosts Stuart ‘The Wildman' Mabbutt and William Mankelow are once again joined by Alex Kauffmann, in the ‘Listener's chair,' to explore two very different, but equally thought-provoking questions sent in by listeners. Faye from Islington, London, England, asks the first question: “We often talk about societal addictions and highlight drugs and alcohol, but isn't addiction to salaries in there too?”From Faye's question, William argues that salary addiction is real, but often “unseen.” He links it to ancient hunter-gatherer instincts: we have always wanted more resources for survival, and that same drive now fuels the endless chase for wealth. Like billionaires who never stop wanting more, the craving for higher salaries rarely ends. Alex describes addiction as “a drug within the mind.” He argues salary addiction sits in the same category as drugs, alcohol, or gaming because all trigger brain chemicals that can become compulsive. Stuart highlights how salaries often act as status symbols. He recalls meeting people introduced by their salary amounts, saying this fuels social pressure and unhealthy comparison.Mark from Horspath, Oxfordshire, England, brings us the second question in today's episode, which is as follows: “People often say about the Rhodes statue on Oriel College in Oxford that they don't like him looking down at us during the modern day. Others say we don't have to look, and history is history after all. Any thoughts?”Off the back of Mark's big question, Stuart argues that the problem isn't statues themselves, but how they're presented. Placed high on plinths without explanation, statues imply respect. He believes they should present both the good and the bad, not sanitize history. William observes that many people barely notice statues at all — like the Rhodes statue on Oriel, which blends into the architecture. He suggests adding plaques or context boards to show “the whole picture” rather than encouraging idolization. Meanwhile Alex sees that many statues function as little more than decoration unless people actually recognize who or what they represent. Without context, they risk being “just decoration.” He compares them to religious statues, which only have meaning because people recognize their stories.What do you make of this discussion?

Welcome to the podcast that's not really about people, and definitely not about the countryside—unless you count emotional landscapes and the occasional sheep metaphor.Since the Great Plague of Zoom Calls (aka COVID), you lot have been flinging questions at us like confetti at a wedding we weren't invited to. We don't read them beforehand—because where's the fun in preparation? We hit record and hope for the best.We've got 18 more questions queued up, which means we're either wildly popular or someone's cat walked across a keyboard and hit “send” repeatedly. Either way, if you want your question featured, now's your moment.And yes, somewhere buried beneath our rambling, sarcasm, and occasional existential dread, there's probably a nugget of actionable wisdom. Like a motivational quote scribbled on a pub napkin.Jess, from Bishop's Tatchbrook, Warwickshire, England sets the first question  - “How do different forms of love (platonic, romantic, familial) direct and orchestrate our lives individually and collectively?”Love: the emotional Swiss Army knife. Stuart says it grounds you, energizes you, distracts you, levels you out, and occasionally hijacks your to-do list. William's all in—love is life, especially if it involves hugging trees. Stuart's less sentimental: family is great unless you're stuck with them like mismatched socks, and friends might just be the upgrade. William assumes families love each other (adorable), but also warns that love can morph into grief-monsters and toxic clinginess. Sometimes, the most loving thing is to ghost your relatives. And finally, William wonders: do we love the planet, or are we just swiping right on nature for the aesthetic?Luna, from San Jose Del Cabo, Mexico sets the next question - “ What do you think of your critics?”Stuart's approach to criticism? Less “What did they say?” and more “How dare they make me feel things?” He's basically running a one-man emotional focus group. William, ever the sage, thinks critics can be useful—like unsolicited life coaches with better vocabulary. But he refuses to create with critics in mind, because nothing says artistic paralysis like trying to please everyone. Stuart suggests we interrogate our environmental beliefs (cue existential crisis), while William wraps it all up with a TED Talk to a bank: be authentic, not beige. Because nothing screams soul like ignoring your shareholders.What do you make of this discussion? Do you have a question that you'd like us to discuss?

In this powerful episode of the Tick Boot Camp Podcast, dancer, actress, model, and Lyme warrior Renee LeeAnn Marsden shares her extraordinary journey of surviving late-stage Lyme disease, multiple co-infections, and autoimmune encephalitis. Once bedridden, disassociating, and in a wheelchair, Renee fought her way back through a combination of stem cells, peptides, neurofeedback, and faith — and now she's thriving as a mother and advocate. From being misdiagnosed with MS and Parkinson's to discovering mold illness, from devastating Herxheimer reactions to life-changing treatments at Amen Clinics, Renee's story is a beacon of hope for anyone battling chronic Lyme or feeling hopeless in their healing journey.

What if your greatest setback became your biggest calling? There are some moments in life that just stop you in your tracks—and this conversation is one of them. I sat down with Dan and Andrea Kotter, a couple whose journey through tragedy, faith, resilience, and relentless love has inspired me to my core. Dan fell 35 feet off a roof and was left paralyzed from the waist down. Andrea met him after the accident, while going through her own unimaginable heartbreak. But neither of them let their pain define them—they chose to build something even greater instead. This isn't just a story about surviving. It's about rebuilding—physically, emotionally, spiritually. Dan could have given up. Instead, he pushed through years of surgeries, chronic pain, and loss, while Andrea stood by his side, not seeing the wheelchair, but the strength that conquered it. They've blended families, faced down trauma, and raised six incredible kids, all while showing up on social media to shine light into other people's darkness. We talked about what it really takes to choose joy when life hands you suffering. How faith—real, grounded, daily faith—can carry you through when nothing else makes sense. How sometimes your life falling apart is exactly what's needed to put you on the path you were meant for. And how you don't need some “perfect” story to make a difference—your real life is enough. Their content has saved lives. It's made broken dads rethink fatherhood. It's helped people believe in God again. That's the power of two people showing up, being honest, and refusing to quit. Dan and Andrea reminded me—and will remind you—that no matter what you're facing, you've got more in you than you think. And you're never alone in the fight. Key Takeaways: The life-changing moment that left Dan paralyzed—and how he chose to respond. Andrea's decision to love a man in a wheelchair after her own heartbreaking trauma. The unshakable role of faith in their healing, growth, and purpose. How authentic social media content can literally save lives. Why real strength means showing up in the struggle, not hiding it. Listen now and share this with someone who needs a reminder that their story still matters. MAX OUT.
