Pornography's damage doesn't stay private, and the Robertsons have seen firsthand how shame and secrecy can break down families. Al, Zach, and Chris Grainger — author, podcast host, and founder of The Lion Within Us men's ministry — talk about why pornography has become one of the biggest spiritual battles facing families today, while also digging into the broader cultural problem of people trading purpose, leadership, and courage for comfort. The guys remember the time Phil walked straight into a dangerous situation and gave the men who stole his firearms one ultimatum: return everything or else.

There are moments in life that break us and moments that remake us. Mo Isom Aiken's story is one of both. From an Elite Division 1, All-American athlete to a woman haunted by trauma, addiction, and suicidal despair, Mo's life took a dramatic turn when a near-fatal car crash became the very altar where heaven met earth. What followed was a supernatural encounter with the Holy Spirit that not only saved her life, but ignited a transformation so complete it would ripple through her marriage, her motherhood, and her mission around the world. This isn't just a story of redemption. It's a call to awaken to the invisible spiritual warfare waging over every soul—and to the freedom that comes with surrendering everything. In this episode of the Revelations Podcast, host Reagan Kramer sits down with Mo Isom Aiken for an unfiltered, deeply moving conversation that spans trauma, healing, and the raw power of a life fully yielded to Jesus. Mo opens up about growing up in the Bible Belt, navigating father wounds and performance-based identity, and the spiritual warfare that nearly claimed her life. Together, they explore Mo's radical encounter with God in the wreckage of her Jeep, the prophetic call that led her family from a fifth-wheel RV across 48 states to the mission fields of Nigeria, and the power of intercession that reshaped her view of prayer entirely. This episode is for the believer who feels stuck in cycles of shame or silence, the seeker longing to hear God's voice again, or the weary warrior who needs to remember what it means to defect from the kingdom of darkness and live fully alive in Christ. Here are three reasons why you should listen to this episode: Gain deeper understanding of how a supernatural encounter with God can occur amidst unimaginable personal tragedy. Learn how radical obedience—like selling everything and living in an RV—can unlock divine provision and spiritual growth. Reflect on the importance of prayer, spiritual warfare, and intimacy with the Holy Spirit in a chaotic world. Become Part of Our Mission!

Just as no man can serve two masters, we cannot live in both worlds. That lie keeps us stuck, powerless, and numb to God's call. Cultural Christianity is an illusion; we should consider what full surrender actually looks like. Mo Isom Aiken, a former All-American athlete turned revivalist and prophetic voice shares her story of defection from darkness—and the fire of obedience that followed. [02:56] Mo Isom Aiken: Childhood and Early Life Mo discovered her identity through competitive sports. Despite being raised in a Christian household, her faith was cultural and lacked deep personal roots. She describes the impact of early exposure to pornography and the pressure of performance-based love from her father. Her struggle with an eating disorder and need for control remained hidden behind a mask of success. [12:22] Transition to College and Personal Struggles At LSU, Mo excels as an All-American goalkeeper but continues battling inward brokenness. [13:02] Mo: “How much of my true self and my true life can people handle? Because they have this picture of me, and yet I am destroyed inside.” Her father committed suicide, devastating Mo both emotionally and spiritually. She turns to sexual sin, secrecy, and self-harm, wrestling with suicidal thoughts and tormenting spiritual voices. Though publicly praised, she describes living with private torment and deep spiritual oppression. [20:54] Spiritual Awakening and Healing Mo survives a violent car crash and has a supernatural encounter with the Holy Spirit while trapped in the wreckage. She describes the weight and wonder of God's presence as overwhelming yet freeing. [22:58] Mo: “The kingdom of darkness was literally mad because things had been set up in my life that my gifts, my talents, my destiny, my anointing, my very God, given fingerprint of God, purpose was going to be leveraged for evil was going to advance the kingdom of darkness, if not for the mercy of Jesus” In that moment, she chooses full surrender to Jesus and receives a baptism of fire Through FCA, she found a godly community, received a baptism at LSU, and experienced revival. A two-year intimacy fast sets the stage for meeting her husband, Jeremiah, and building a Christ-centered family. [56:44] Mission to Nigeria and Angelic Visit Mo recounts a dream where an angel tells her she'll go to Nigeria to forge a deeper connection to the divine. Initially resistant due to fear for her children, she surrenders and receives confirmation from her mentors. The family spent eight months in Lagos serving under Nigerian spiritual leaders. Their time becomes a season of discipleship, humility, and spiritual equipping for future ministry. [1:14:19] The Power of Prayer: Greatest Takeaway from Nigeria Mo describes prayer as the single greatest lesson from their mission season. In Nigeria, daily prayer was non-negotiable—fostering spiritual strength, wisdom, and breakthrough. She challenges Western believers to move prayer from a fallback to a foundation. Prayer, she emphasizes, is the gateway to discernment, power, and intimacy with God. [1:21:24] Teaching the Next Generation to Prioritize Prayer Mo and Reagan discuss the difficulty of maintaining a prayerful life amid Western busyness and distractions. Mo explains how she and Jeremiah are raising their children to see prayer as essential, not optional. They commit to resisting hustle culture and modeling devotion in everyday life. Mo calls for prayer warriors to arise—those who walk in reverence, not performance. [1:32:39] Spiritual Warfare and the Call to Live Fully Surrendered Mo prays a powerful blessing over listeners for renewal, healing, and sanctification. Revival begins in surrendered hearts, not just pulpits; it is in living God's Word to be kind and loving to all those around you. It is our time to live fully awake, defecting from darkness and advancing God's Kingdom with boldness.
Brad and Vince finally deliver their review of the long-awaited Peter Luger's dinner, and we're already plotting where our Hot QB money will take us next year.

This episode started as a Substack article I wrote after receiving a text message that hit something deeper in me than I expected. What began as a reflection on reconstruction and deconstruction slowly became something bigger, a conversation about fear, belonging, external validation, nervous systems, and what it means to rebuild a spiritual life on your own terms after leaving a high-control environment. In this episode, I unpack the pressure to “pick a side,” the reflex to explain yourself, the exhaustion of having your journey policed by both religious and deconstruction spaces, and the slow realization that maybe healing isn't about “coming back” at all. Maybe it's about learning how to stand in something new, something you chose honestly for yourself. If something in this conversation resonated with you, I'd love to hear from you. You can email me at clemenzwithaz@gmail.com, or send me a DM over on Instagram at @clemenzwithazpodcast. If you want to support the podcast financially, you can head over to ClemenzWithAZ.com, there's a merch store there with shirts, stickers, all kinds of stuff. You can also donate directly through the GoFundMe, the link's in the show notes. Every bit goes a long way in helping me keep these conversations going. And if you're looking for something a little more regular, check out my Substack: Devotions for the Disillusioned & Deconstructing. That's where I share short reflections, devotionals, and some extra behind-the-scenes thoughts that don't always make it onto the podcast. And of course, the best way you can support the show is by subscribing, rating, and leaving a review wherever you listen to podcasts. Share it with a friend, post it on your socials, drop it in a group chat, it all helps more than you know. This podcast keeps going because of listeners like you showing up, engaging, and passing it on. So thank you for being here, for listening, and for being part of this messy middle with me. Until next time, take care of yourselves, and each other.

James opens with a greeting that sounds like a contradiction: count it all joy when you meet trials of various kinds. The testing of your faith produces steadfastness, and steadfastness finishes its work so that you may be complete, lacking in nothing. If you lack wisdom, ask God, who gives generously. But ask in faith, because the doubter is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. The Rev. Aaron Spratt, pastor of Faith Lutheran Church in Juneau, AK, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study James 1:1–8. To learn more about Faith Lutheran, visit faithlutheranjuneau.org. Luther called it an “epistle of straw,” but then preached from it for the rest of his life as the Word of God. In this series, host Pastor Phil Booe and guest pastors walk verse by verse through the Letter of James, written by the brother of our Lord, the leading pastor of the Jerusalem church, and a man who thought Jesus had lost His mind until the resurrection proved otherwise. James writes to scattered Christians who are suffering, squabbling, playing favorites with the rich, and letting their tongues run wild. This series takes James at his word, reading him as a confessor of Christ who stands with Paul and not against him. Faith without works is dead, he tells them, and then he spends the rest of the letter showing them a better way. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

What if the very thing that broke your heart… became the place where God revealed your calling? In this powerful and deeply moving conversation, Drs. Zach and Tim Clinton sit down with rising Christian music artist, Anne Wilson, to talk about faith, grief, identity, and purpose. Anne’s journey began in the midst of unimaginable loss. After the unexpected death of her brother in 2017, she found herself navigating deep sorrow, but also encountering God in a profound way. What started as a way to process her pain through worship became a calling that has now impacted millions around the world. From her breakout song My Jesus to her latest music and tours, Anne has continued to point people to hope in Christ, even in life’s darkest moments. In this conversation, Anne opens up about what it looked like to worship through grief, how her faith was tested and strengthened in the valley, and how she has stayed grounded in her identity despite rapid success and growing influence. We also dive into the challenges of comparison and identity in today’s culture, the importance of discerning God’s voice in the midst of opportunity, and what it means to be a light for Christ in both faith-based and secular spaces. Anne’s story is a powerful reminder that God often does His deepest work in our hardest seasons, and that He can turn our pain into purpose for His glory. If you’re walking through loss, wrestling with your identity, or wondering how God might use your story, this episode will meet you right where you are.

Kevin Randle is a retired military officer with a background in intelligence. Today, he's a full-time writer with more than 146 books to his credit, and a deep knowledge of the topics surrounding UFOs. Kevin has spent 35 years investigating the Roswell UFO crash and the mystery surrounding it, speaking to other military officers who witnessed elements of the crash site, including alien bodies, and shared shocking testimony about what the government has tried so hard to hide for decades. He explains Project Mogul and how it was used to divert attention away from the Roswell incident in 1947. Kevin also highlights another UFO sighting in 1957, allegedly witnessed by countless people, including military officials. Daily, the conversation around UFOs and UAPs becomes more mainstream, heightening public interest, despite government efforts to suppress the topic. TAKEAWAYS The physical evidence from Roswell was quickly confiscated by the U.S. government and officials were sworn to secrecy Several sources told Kevin that the alleged bodies recovered from the Roswell site were processed through Wright-Patterson Air Force Base The 1957 UFO incident reportedly caused cars near the aerial object to stall which doesn't line up with the supposed bolt of lightning theory Witnesses to these UFO events describe seeing an ‘egg-shaped' aerial object
Grace is not reactive to your performance. It is the initiative of a love that, having decided you are worth pursuing, declines to be talked out of it by your worst days. Our suffering is not evidence against us. You do not need to wait until the grief lifts, or the body cooperates, or the nation improves, or the darkness makes sense. The treasure is already in you.
Eight children were removed from Samuel Bateman's compound and placed in foster care. During forensic interviews, none of them disclosed abuse. Their journals — seized by the FBI — were filled with detailed accounts of what Bateman did to them. The written truth they couldn't say out loud. That single detail tells you more about the psychological power of cult-based abuse than any courtroom testimony ever could.In Part 2 of this three-part panel, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott and former FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke join Tony Brueski to examine the internal damage the Netflix documentary Trust Me: The False Prophet reveals but can't fully explain. What happens to a child's mind when the person abusing them is presented as God's representative on earth. Why Bateman's "atonement ceremonies" — sexual abuse repackaged as sacred duty — make it neurologically difficult for victims to categorize their experience as harm. Why the girls went willingly when Bateman's wives kidnapped them from foster care.The conversation also tackles the most ethically complex element of the case: the adult wives. Women like Donnae Barlow, who was herself a victim of forced marriage and incest within the FLDS, diagnosed with extreme PTSD, who participated in kidnapping children because her conditioning told her the state was the predator and Bateman was the protector. The court gave her time served. Others got years. Whether that calibration was right is a question two experts in human behavior wrestle with in real time.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Samuel Bateman called them "atonement ceremonies." Federal prosecutors called them organized child sexual abuse. Bateman wrapped the acts in religious language, framed them as commandments from God, and told his followers — including children — that participation was the path to salvation. When abuse gets dressed in that kind of authority, can a victim even identify what's happening to them as wrong?Part 2 of this three-part panel goes inside the psychological damage. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, former FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke, and Tony Brueski tackle the questions the Netflix documentary Trust Me: The False Prophet leaves you sitting with. Why those girls couldn't speak the truth out loud but wrote it in journals. Why eight children went willingly when Bateman's wives kidnapped them from foster care — choosing captivity over rescue because their minds had been so thoroughly rewired. Why parents of abused girls showed up at sentencing to support the man who hurt them, not the daughters who survived.We go deep into Donnae Barlow's case — a woman married to her uncle as a teenager, a mother of a terminally ill child born of that union, diagnosed with extreme PTSD and Stockholm Syndrome, who helped kidnap children because she believed she was saving them. And we confront the question the justice system tried to answer with graduated sentences but couldn't fully resolve: when the system that victimized you is the same system that turned you into a perpetrator, where does accountability begin?Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode of The Healers Cafe, Manon speaks with Lorraine Cain, a transformative healing advocate, shared her near-death experience after a catastrophic car accident at age 26. She described a life review in heaven, where she felt unconditional love and was given a choice to return to earth. For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/lorraine-kane Highlights from today's episode include: Lorraine's near-death experience revealed God as pure unconditional love, not fear or judgment. Lorraine explained after 60+ surgeries, she now runs a Wellness Center using Reiki and natural healing to support the body's innate ability to heal. Manon speaks of years of holistic practice and a powerful 5-MeO-DMT journey confirmed we are souls, and that real healing begins at the point of surrender. ABOUT LORRAINE KANE: Lorraine Kane is an author, speaker, and advocate for transformative healing. After surviving a catastrophic car accident and profound near-death experience at twenty-six, she has dedicated her life to exploring the intersection of trauma, faith, and grace. Her memoir, A Gift in the Wreckage, invites readers to discover the hope and purpose hidden in life's most broken places. Core purpose / passion : My core mission is to turn personal wreckage into universal hope. I am passionate about guiding people from a place of fracture to one of integration, where spiritual insight meets human vulnerability. I believe our deepest wounds can become sacred doorways, not dead ends. Through writing, speaking, and facilitation, I create spaces where individuals can explore their own stories with courage and compassion, discovering that they are not alone and that meaning—even grace—can be found within the broken pieces.

President Trump insisted that Iran had only one card to play in the negotiations - its chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz. Also on the programme: the four astronauts on board the Artemis mission are preparing to return to Earth. We speak to someone who went before them and we hear from a 13-year-old girl in Beirut who witnessed an Israeli strike on the city.(Wreckage after Israel launched a blitz of air strikes on Lebanon on Wednesday CREDIT: AFP via Getty Images)

As a caregiver, I know how easy it is to carry more than just today. We carry the future, the what-ifs, the fear, the things that have not even happened yet. But I have learned something the hard way. You cannot live in the wreckage of your future. Out here in Montana, I have been talking with ranchers who do not spend their time worrying about what might happen months from now. They do the work in front of them today. That perspective has shaped me more than I expected. As we move toward Easter, I have been wrestling with a deeper question. If past behavior predicts future performance, what hope do we really have? Scripture does not point me to trying harder. It points me to something altogether different, an interruption of that pattern through the resurrection. So for those of us walking through long and difficult seasons of caregiving, this is not about having answers for everything that is coming. It is about doing what is in front of us today, trusting God with what has not arrived yet, and remembering that life does not wait for perfect conditions to begin again.

Episode 117Leading from the wreckage. When you inherit the hardest job in the roomEPISODE DESCRIPTIONSome leaders are handed a vision and the resources to deliver it. Others are handed the wreckage and told to rebuild it while everyone watches.In this episode of The Lonely Leader, James Rule draws on his experience as CEO of two professional rugby clubs to explore one of the most debilitating pressures in senior leadership: being asked to perform when your best resources are unavailable, your credibility is on the line, and the people around you don't fully understand the constraints you're operating in.This episode is for the leader who has walked into an organisation in crisis. Who inherited someone else's decisions. Who is trying to lift a team that's exhausted, rebuild a culture that's been damaged, and restore confidence in leadership all at the same time.James unpacks why the hardest part of leading through a crisis isn't the strategy or the culture, it's the isolation. The specific, relentless weight of carrying the full picture when nobody around you can carry it with you.WHO THIS EPISODE IS FORThis episode will resonate if you are:A newly appointed senior leader walking into an underperforming or damaged organisation.A CEO, COO, or Director managing external scrutiny while navigating internal complexity.A leader carrying a level of pressure and responsibility that the people around you don't fully see.Someone who has been asked to deliver results in conditions that make delivery genuinely difficult.A high performer who is starting to feel the cumulative weight of leading alone.ABOUT THE HOST James is an experienced mentor, coach and thought leader who works with a range of clients from FTSE 100 companies, SME´s the NHS and wider public and not for profit sectors.His twenty year career in elite sport initially as a professional rugby player but predominantly as a chief executive has given him an invaluable insight in managing the success, failures and pressures associated with leadership at the highest level.As a high performance coach James specialises in enhancing resilience and leadership development. He is a passionate advocate of the notion that to find lasting fulfilment we need to take a holistic view of high performance.

Your Hope-Filled Perspective with Dr. Michelle Bengtson podcast
Episode Summary: Have you ever wondered how you would respond if life completely unraveled in an instant? My guest today, Sheryl Ramstad, knows that reality all too well. After surviving a catastrophic plane crash with less than a 1% chance of survival, she could have easily given in to despair. Instead, she chose to rise—reclaiming her life, reinventing her future, and redefining what it means to live with purpose. From the ashes of tragedy, Sheryl’s story shines as a powerful testimony of resilience, grit, and the sustaining grace of God. Most of us will never experience the devastation of a plane crash, but all of us face moments when life feels shattered beyond repair. Today on Your Hope-Filled Perspective, I’m joined by Sheryl Ramstad—a woman who not only survived the unthinkable but has gone on to thrive. With perseverance, faith, and courage, she rebuilt her life, pursued new careers, climbed one of the world’s highest mountains, and continues to inspire others to press forward no matter the odds. Her journey is a living reminder that hope can rise from despair and that our greatest challenges can become the very places God’s strength shines brightest. Quotables from the episode: What would you do if your life changed in an instant, and nothing looked the way you thought it would? Sheryl survived a catastrophic plane crash with less than a 1% chance of survival, she could have easily given in to despair. I can only imagine doctors walking in and saying, you have less than a 1 % chance of survival. So, what role did faith and determination play in you beating those odds? It was everything, Michelle. My faith was what carried me through. When I was in the hospital, instead of asking “why me?”, I would ask “what next?” And the Lord always had an answer for me. And that became my future question that I'd always ask, what's next, Lord? I had been thinking that the hospital would be the end of my journey, but it wasn't. It was only the beginning. It was a years-long journey, seven major surgeries. I would give others the advice that it's when it's bigger than you when your recovery is bigger than you When your life is out of control, when you feel like you just don't have a place to turn, turn your attention to the Lord and read your Bible and ask for the Lord's help. Ask Him to walk beside you, surround yourself with people who are faithful, who can help you in those times of doubt, who can lift you up and encourage you. And that's what got me through. Sheryl, my listeners know that I've written a book "Sacred Scars," resting in God's promise that your past is not wasted, and your story begs the question, "Because you have lived with both the physical scars from the burns as well as emotional scars, how have you embraced your scars as part of your story rather than as setbacks?" I've, it's turned my life into one of purpose, Michelle. It's given me direction, I focused on service over survival, tried to encourage others, and that's been my goal. How did you hold onto your hope during that process? - Well, I knew I wasn't in it alone. I reached out to others, in particular people who I knew had faith, and would ask them, "What's next?" They wouldn't have the answers, but then I'd ask the Lord, and I'd see a path that made no sense to me at the time, but that I felt called to follow. And I can't explain that calling, Michelle other than to say it was a still small voice inside of me. I would give others the advice that it's when it's bigger than you when your recovery is bigger than you When your life is out of control, when you feel like you just don't have a place to turn, turn your attention to the Lord and read your Bible and ask for the Lord's help. Ask Him to walk beside you, surround yourself with people who are faithful, who can help you in those times of doubt, who can lift you up and encourage you. And that's what got me through.

The Visible Gospel Text: Mark 15:1–15 1. The Great Exchange: Jesus Takes the Place of the Guilty Coleton begins by grounding the message in a simple but powerful idea: the gospel is not abstract—it's visible in this moment. Through the story of Jesus and Barabbas, we see something unforgettable: the innocent is condemned so the guilty can go free. Coleton illustrates this with a personal story (Sandra and Sam at Memphis Pizza), showing how this truth isn't just theological—it's deeply personal. At the core of his faith is this belief: “I believe that Jesus was condemned so that guilty sinners like me could be set free.” He then walks us through the scene: Jesus is falsely accused of being an insurrectionist. Barabbas is actually guilty of that exact crime. Yet Jesus takes Barabbas' place. Even more striking: Barabbas' name means “son of the father.” Jesus is the true Son of God the Father. So what we see is this: The true Son of the Father takes the place of a guilty “son of the father.” This is not just history—it's a picture of what Jesus wants to do for us. Scripture Mark 15:1–15 Key Idea The innocent was condemned so that the guilty could go free. 2. For Those Who Know They Are Guilty and Struggle with Sin Coleton turns to those who feel stuck—people who are painfully aware of their sin and can't seem to break free from it. He describes the internal cycle: You keep falling into the same sin. You feel guilt and frustration. You begin to wonder: “Will God really forgive me again?” He points us to Barabbas. Barabbas deserved: punishment condemnation judgment But he received none of it—because of Jesus. And that's the truth for us: Because of Jesus, we will never be treated as our sins deserve. Coleton addresses a subtle but common lie: We believe God forgives… until we sin again. Then we start to feel like: “This time He's done with me.” “His grace has limits.” But Coleton reminds us: “Where sin abounds, grace abounds all the more.” Jesus was treated as our sin deserves—so we never have to be. Quote “He will always side with you against your sin, not against you because of your sin.” — Dane Ortlund Key Idea Jesus will never turn against you because of your sin—He always moves toward you with mercy. 3. For Those Living in the Wreckage of Their Sin Next, Coleton speaks to those whose lives bear the consequences of their choices. This is deeper than guilt—it's damage: broken relationships lost opportunities shattered trust emotional and spiritual fallout He describes the honest realization: “I did this. My sin caused this.” Barabbas knew that reality too. His life was wrecked by his own decisions—and it landed him in prison. But then something unexpected happens: Jesus brings life where only death was ahead. Coleton shares a powerful insight from a friend who had experienced this personally: “People may still see Barabbas as a criminal… but he is still walking in a new life and identity because of what Jesus did.” This is crucial: Jesus doesn't always erase consequences. But He does bring new life in the middle of them. Coleton connects this to the story of the Prodigal Son: The son wrecks his life. He returns expecting rejection. Instead, the father restores him fully. God's heart is not to leave you in the mess—He meets you in it and brings life. Key Idea Jesus doesn't abandon you to your past—He brings life even in the places you've ruined. 4. For Those Questioning Jesus and Christianity Coleton then turns outward—to skeptics and seekers. He makes this clear: The story of Barabbas is not just about forgiveness—it's about transformation. Jesus doesn't just: remove guilt He also: change lives Coleton shares a historical challenge from Hugh Price Hughes to atheist Charles Bradlaugh: Bring even one life changed for the better by atheism, and I'll debate you. Hughes would bring 100 lives transformed by Jesus. Bradlaugh declined. The point is simple: The gospel doesn't just make claims—it changes people. Coleton then shares the story of actor Pietro Sarubbi (who played Barabbas in The Passion of the Christ). During filming, Sarubbi locked eyes with the actor portraying Jesus—and something unexpected happened: “When looking at me, his eyes had no hate… only mercy and love.” That moment led to his conversion. Coleton uses this to show: An encounter with Jesus changes everything. Scripture John 1:12 — “To all who did receive him… he gave the right to become children of God.” John 5 — “They have crossed over from death to life.” Key Idea Jesus offers both forgiveness and a completely new life—and all we must do is receive it. 5. The Invitation: Receive What Jesus Has Done Coleton closes by returning to Barabbas. Barabbas did nothing to earn his freedom. He didn't: clean up his life prove himself repay Jesus He simply walked out of the prison. All he had to do was receive it. And Coleton makes it personal: To the struggling: Confess and trust His mercy. To the broken: Bring Him your wreckage. To the skeptic: Open the door and receive Him. Jesus stands ready—not to condemn—but to free, restore, and transform. Discipleship Group Questions Where do you most feel the tension of ongoing sin in your life, and how does this passage challenge your view of God's patience and grace toward you? In what ways are you currently experiencing the “wreckage” of past decisions? What would it look like to invite Jesus into those specific areas? Why do you think it's hard for people to believe that God won't treat them as their sins deserve? How does the story of Barabbas reshape your understanding of what Jesus actually accomplished on the cross? Who in your life is questioning or skeptical about Jesus? How could this message help you have a meaningful conversation with them? Culture of Gospel Share this with someone in your life who doesn't know Jesus Jesus doesn't ask you to fix yourself before coming to Him—He steps into your place, takes your guilt, and offers you a completely new life you could never earn.

Send a textEpisode Title: Forgiveness in the Wreckage | With Guest Leona MorelockWhat happens when you are the one who needs forgiveness?Last week on the podcast we talked about forgiveness- what it is, what it isn't, and how Jesus calls us to release the debt. But forgiveness becomes much more personal when we're the ones replaying our worst moments.In today's episode, Leslie sits down with author and women's ministry leader Leona Morelock to talk about belonging, failure, addiction, and the road back to grace.Leona shares the story behind her memoir, He Met Me in the Wreckage, including her struggle with alcoholism, the shame that followed, and the healing that came through forgiveness, from God, from others, and eventually from herself.Together, we explore what it looks like to rebuild a life after failure and how God meets us in our most broken places.If you've ever wondered whether your past disqualifies you… this conversation is for you.In This Episode We Talk AboutWhy so many women feel the need to blend in just to belongHow shame keeps us stuck in our pastThe impact addiction can have on identity and relationshipsWhy self-forgiveness is often the hardest stepHow God can use the very thing you once wanted to hideAbout Today's GuestLeona Morelock is a women's ministry leader, retreat host, and creator of community resources designed to help women connect, belong, and grow in faith.Her memoir, He Met Me in the Wreckage, shares her journey through identity struggles, addiction, friendship, and restoration.

What does it really take to go from writing rooms to a record deal without losing the soul of your songs? We sit down with country artist and songwriter Mary Kutter to map the turns: small-town Kentucky roots, Nashville writers' rounds, pandemic Zoom sessions, and the quiet shift from penning hits for others to owning the mic herself. Along the way, Mary pulls back the curtain on the cuts that changed her life, Bailey Zimmerman's Never Leave and These Nights, Nate Smith's Wreckage and Sleep, and why leaning into unvarnished, lived detail can turn a song into a lifeline for strangers.Mary talks about logging 452 sessions in a year, why volume builds instinct, and how posting Devil's Money cracked open an audience for her own stories. She shares the exact moment the record deal offer landed, what felt surreal about the announcement photo, and how she keeps perspective in a town overflowing with talent. The conversation also honors an unsung giant: Hall of Fame songwriter Kim Williams, whose generosity and introductions helped set her trajectory. His story, blue-collar grit, unthinkable recovery, and a fateful coffee with Garth Brooks, becomes a blueprint for creative courage and quiet mentorship.If you care about songwriting craft, country music history, or the long game behind so-called overnight success, you'll find practical takeaways: write more than you think you can, tell the truth even when it's heavy, build community by hosting and showing up, and let kindness compound. Press play, then share this with a friend who needs a nudge to keep going.

We trace a life marked by grief, shame, and spiritual oppression to a restored marriage, steady identity in Jesus, and a practical way to stop being ruled by intrusive thoughts. We speak plainly about betrayal, depression, and the gospel that heals what effort and fear could not.• growing up in Alaska amid alcohol, violence, and loss• sister's death shaping fear of abandonment and self-hate• early marriage, poverty, and surprising provision• betrayal, the crash, and sensing Jesus' presence• counseling, separation, and a rebuilt friendship in marriage• breaking demonic oppression and naming depression• hearing gospel assurance beyond moral scorekeeping• practicing observer-mind and taking thoughts captive• refusing to carry blame that does not belong to us
The markets are seeing red this Thursday as the "Mag 10" takes a hit. On this episode of The Option Block, Mark Longo is joined by Henry Schwartz from Cboe and Mike Tosaw from St. Charles Wealth Management to break down the carnage following NVIDIA's earnings—where even a stellar quarter wasn't enough to satisfy the bulls. The team explores unusual activity in some unexpected names, including a "blast from the past" tech giant and a newcomer in the "Robot as a Service" space. On the Docket: The Trading Block: NVIDIA's worst day in nearly a year. Henry Schwartz breaks down the VIX decomposition and S&P 500 skew, while Mike Tosaw looks at the "flight to safety" in Treasuries (TLT/IEF). The Odd Block: Why is there massive call paper in Blackberry (BB)? Plus, a look at the wild volume in Rich Tech Robotics (RRTX). Mail Block: The panel debates how to approach earnings season. Do you sell juice, buy juice, or avoid it altogether? Around the Block: What to watch for the rest of the week, from PPI data to macro geopolitical tensions in Iran.

Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of Trudge Report. This week we go around the horn and Dan shares his experience with his son over the weekend at Madison square garden for the UConn v St John's game. Greg gives us an update on wedding planning and Corey tells us how his new job is going and how he has finally gotten back into writing and playing music. Danny wins the rental car lottery, or at least so we think. The recovery segment is all about beginning to make a list of people we have hurt. We shift from identifying the resentments, fears, and harms done, to actually beginning to put together a plan of action on how we can attempt to make these situations right and clean up our side of the street. We get honest about the ones we dread, the ones we delay, and the moments where doing the right thing might come with real consequences. Freedom may cost something initially but holding on to these is more expensive in the long run.

This week has been emotionally exhausting, and we're feeling it too. We talk about what's been broken and lost domestically due to ICE actions in Minnesota and internationally due to President Trump's desire to acquire Greenland. We are asking ourselves how we build something more stable on the other side of all of this, whenever that comes. We want to be ready build coalitions and make changes that actually last. Topics Discussed ICE Continues to Escalate in Minnesota Greenland, Davos, and the Rupturing of the International Order Outside of Politics: The Incoming Winter Storm Ready to go deeper?

Sean and Andy are joined by Marco and Luke of the UK collective Angry Workers of the World, here to discuss their practical activity and intellectual output since the publication of Class Power on Zero Hours several years ago. They also present their relatively new healthcare industry project whose publication Vital Signs seeks to analyze how medical labor, in all its industrial diversity and its day-to-day struggles, might prefigure a world where our class has taken responsibility for production and reproduction of society.This is a wide-ranging and fascinating discussion with fellow workers who are grappling with the biggest questions facing our class at the moment. If you're interested in their project or starting something similar where you live and work they have asked especially healthcare workers in the US to reach out to collaborate with them at Vital Signs.To become a patron and support our work go to www.patreon.com/thiswreckageSong: Megadeath - Angry Again
Do not run on the floor. Instead, run your ears on observing infinite lives, hearing about the troops, declining a free drink, enriching lives, rendering pixel ass, making sure they're bug ladies and not bunny ladies, splitting the cave-computer binary, tying into Phantasy Star III, decaying orbit, merging two guys into one guy, rejecting the M.E.T.A. meta, becoming annoyed at the cultists, uniting christ with computer, and blacking out at either snake church or tongue church.
