Certified through IAMPETH in 2011, Jake holds the honor of being the youngest Master Penman by three decades—and the youngest ever to achieve the title. His peers have created works for the White House, Queen Elizabeth, and even the Pope, but Jake's journey has uniquely blended calligraphy with fine art, painting, drawing, woodworking, and engraving.Jake shares how faith shaped his career from the very beginning, even when industry professionals warned him not to make it explicit. Instead, leaning into his relationship with Jesus led to surprising opportunities, including his celebrated hymn series. He also opens up about overcoming struggles with self-doubt, impostor syndrome, and the “starving artist” complex, and how God has redeemed his perspective of calling.In this conversation, Jake reveals stories of marketplace miracles—from divine provision of materials like the wood for The Old Rugged Cross, to being placed before people and companies with favor and authority far beyond what he could have imagined. His life verse, Proverbs 22:29, has marked his journey: “See a man gifted in his work. He will stand before kings; he will not stand before obscure men.”

They call medical textbooks the “gold standard,” but the truth is most of them are dead wrong — outdated, manipulated, and bought off by the very industries that profit from keeping you sick. Behind those thousand-page monsters sits Big Pharma, food lobbyists, and academic sellouts who cash checks to push a narrative disguised as science. Ghostwritten chapters, professors pocketing consulting fees, and publishers cranking out new editions with barely a change — it’s not education, it’s indoctrination. And the worst part? Young doctors memorize it all, turning corporate propaganda into medical “truth” that dictates how you’re treated. From the food pyramid fraud to the opioid crisis to scrubbing inconvenient drug side-effects, the money trail explains it all. The people making billions on prescriptions and treatments are the same ones paying for the textbooks that trained your doctor. This isn’t just a scam, it’s a system of control. On this episode of Stinchfield, we tear the cover off this racket and expose who really writes medicine — Dr. Peter McCullough is our guest to expose and once you see the money behind the pages.

Send us a textWhen a bizarre letter surfaced on the internet, Marc Headley immediately recognized the signature—"Trudy Hensley, Letter Writer." This wasn't just any Scientology recruitment attempt; it was written by Marc's own mother, who remains deeply entrenched in the organization while completely disconnected from her family.The letter itself is absurd enough: "Well done on purchasing a book in 1999!!!" it exclaims, attempting to recruit someone who bought a Scientology book 26 years ago (and who, as it turns out, has been deceased for years). But beneath this strange marketing failure lies a heartbreaking family story that exposes Scientology's ruthless policies on family separation.Marc and Claire walk us through Scientology's "central files" system—an elaborate tracking mechanism that, according to L. Ron Hubbard policy, can never be deleted. Once your information enters these files, you're tracked for life, and apparently beyond. The organization obsessively measures statistics like "letters out" and "letters in," believing that sheer volume of communication will inevitably lead to new recruits.Trudy's journey within Scientology included years in the Rehabilitation Project Force (RPF), Scientology's notorious labor camp, after fighting with a high-ranking Religious Technology Center representative. Marc shares a particularly painful memory of David Miscavige himself mocking his mother during a staff meeting, calling her "the dumbest bitch in all of the Sea Org." Despite this degrading treatment, she continues to volunteer for the organization while maintaining zero contact with her own grandchildren.This episode provides a rare window into how Scientology's disconnection policy tears families apart, and how the organization's bizarre recruitment practices continue unchanged despite their obvious ineffectiveness. For anyone who's ever wondered how cults maintain control over members even when they're being mistreated, this story offers powerful insights straight from those who lived it.Have you experienced similar cult recruitment tactics or family disconnection?
