True Faith: Trusting in God's Plan 'But If Not'. ACU Sunday Series. The Most Inspiring General Conference Talk on Faith You'll Ever Hear! True Faith: Trusting in God's Plan 'But If Not' In this inspirational video, Elder Dennis E. Simmons reflects on his youthful misunderstanding of faith through a story from his eighth-grade basketball tournament. He emphasizes that true faith is more than wishful thinking—it's a deep trust in Jesus Christ. Using the biblical story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, Elder Simmons illustrates how true faith means trusting God even when outcomes don't align with our desires. He explores how figures such as Abraham, Daniel, and Paul displayed unwavering faith under trials, demonstrating that great challenges can cultivate greater spiritual strength. The address underlines that the world is a test of faith, administered by a loving Heavenly Father, and highlights the importance of maintaining faith in God's plan, even amidst suffering and uncertainty.

GetReligion editor Terry Mattingly discusses “Youth in crisis? That means youth ministry matters, even for journalists”

1. California Firearm Advertising Law Struck Down California agreed to a settlement exceeding $1.3 million in attorney fees after losing a lawsuit over its “marketing firearms to minors” law. The law effectively banned most firearm advertising, arguing it could appeal to minors. The lawsuit was brought by the Second Amendment Foundation, Firearms Policy Coalition, and other plaintiffs. Core Argument Presented The law violated the First Amendment by banning truthful, lawful advertising. It was also framed as an indirect attempt to undermine the Second Amendment by financially crippling gun stores. 2. Ninth Circuit Ruling and Judicial Reasoning A Ninth Circuit judge (Judge Lee, September 2023) ruled against the law. The opinion stated: The law did not materially advance California’s goal of reducing gun violence. There was no evidence minors had illegally purchased firearms due to advertising. The court highlighted a contradiction: California allows minors to use firearms legally (e.g., hunting, sport shooting), Yet banned advertising about those same lawful activities. 3. Governor Gavin Newsom Criticism Governor Newsom is portrayed as acting emotionally and irrationally, particularly over: A .22 caliber rifle designed for youth shooters. The text argues: Youth firearms are legally owned by parents, not children. Such firearms are common for hunting and training. The financial cost to taxpayers is emphasized as a political failure. 4. Broader National Implications The case is framed as a warning to other states: Similar laws will fail and result in costly defeats. The victory is presented as: A win for constitutional rights A success made possible only by organizations with “deep pockets” 5. Shift to Federal Politics: The SAVE Act The second half shifts focus to the U.S. Senate debate over the SAVE Act. The bill is framed as an election integrity measure. Core premise: “Only American citizens should decide American elections.” 6. President Trump’s Leadership Role Trump is portrayed as: Personally directing the strategy Pressuring Republicans to unify Making the bill a top priority The effort is described as deliberate and strategic, not symbolic. 7. Republican vs. Democrat Contrast Republicans: Unified On offense Advocating for voter ID and proof of citizenship Democrats: Described as unanimously opposed Framed as defending an “impossible” position The debate is positioned as a midterm election defining issue.

The Swāmi watched his visitors eat the lunch he had prepared for them, monitoring their progress through their meals and replenishing the preparations as they disappeared from their plates. I took my place beside one of the other guests on the floor, and Janice, the guy helping the Swāmi serve the meal, gave me a plate piled high with food. I had drifted into vegetarianism several years ago, but this looked a lot better than the food I usually ate. I had been experimenting with microbiotic food and often ate at a restaurant called The Paradox on the Lower East Side—a place that I learned a few years later was frequented by Yoko Ono. Microbiotic food was not particularly inspiring for me, and the Swāmi's vegetarian food looked appetizing and exotic. Instead of bland brown rice, zucchini, sesame seeds, and beans, the spread before me consisted of hot dāl made with lentils, vegetables, and fresh herbs; steaming fluffy rice; warm, whole chapatis brushed with a little butter; lightly spiced potatoes; and warm milk with bananas. Suddenly, I was hungry. "Yeah, I'm fine, Swāmi," I said. "How do you like your new place?" It was the first time I had sat with him to talk for some time. "Very nice, very nice—and the temple is nice also." He turned his attention to the man sitting to his left. "Stanley, take, take." He kept handing Stanley warm chapatis. Stanley was nearly six feet tall, gaunt and emaciated-looking, with short black hair, stubble, and sharp, angular features. After eleven chapatis, the Swami laughed heartily and said... ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://vaisesikadasayatra.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://thefourquestionsbook.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

In this episode, I sit down with Adam Bonewits of Blue River Bowhunting to talk about the realities of chasing whitetails beyond your home state and why getting the next generation involved in the outdoors matters more than ever. Adam shares stories and lessons from his out-of-state hunts, including the preparation, scouting, and mindset it takes to be successful when you're hunting unfamiliar ground. We dive into the challenges bowhunters face when traveling to new states, how to adapt quickly, and why those experiences can make you a better hunter overall. We also spend time discussing something both of us are passionate about—introducing youth to hunting. Adam talks about ways to mentor young hunters, the importance of creating positive first experiences in the woods, and why passing down hunting traditions is critical for the future of conservation and the sport. Whether you're planning your first out-of-state hunt, looking for new bowhunting insight, or want ideas for getting kids involved in the outdoors, this conversation is packed with relatable stories and practical perspective from someone who lives and breathes bowhunting.

In a powerful letter to an educator discouraged by what he perceived as a lack of success in influencing his students, the Rebbe explains why despair is more dangerous than being overly satisfied.

This week on the Regional Roundup, we hear a report on the growing outdoor recreation economy, a look at an abortion doula program supporting patients in Western Colorado, and a feature on youth activists rallying at the Utah legislature in support of efforts to save the Great Salt Lake. The show also features a story about a new mobile food bank serving rural communities in Colorado, and explores free speech and censorship: from a Durango bookstore's lawsuit to block police from accessing a customer's book purchase records, to a conversation with a Colorado librarian featured in the documentary The Librarians, which examines the rise of book bans and challenges to libraries.

 In this episode of Another Way For Them, I explore what the future could look like if we do not become more thoughtful about the role technology, social media, and AI play in children's lives. The conversation looks at how constant digital exposure may shape the next generation's social and emotional development. I touch on concerns like declining social skills, the rise of virtual relationships, and the growing influence of pornography on young people. The heart of the episode focuses on the role of parents. Discernment, awareness, and honest communication are essential if we want to help our kids grow into emotionally healthy, connected humans in an increasingly digital world.

In the book “The Anxious Generation,” Jonathan Haidt, a social psychologist at New York University, argues that social-media platforms are detrimental to youths' well-being, and that society needs to treat them as literally addictive. It has spent nearly a hundred weeks on the New York Times best-seller list, and has helped galvanize a movement seeking limits to social media in legislatures, in school districts, and in the courts. David Remnick speaks with Haidt about an Australian law to verify the age of social-media users, the first of its kind in the world, and about lawsuits in California that are aiming to pin liability for harms on social-media companies themselves.  Further reading:  “World Happiness Report 2026,” featuring a contribution from Jonathan Haidt and other researchers  “Mountains of Evidence,” by Jonathan Haidt New episodes of The New Yorker Radio Hour drop every Tuesday and Friday.

The Student Voter Empowerment Act, which stands before the New York Legislature, seeks to foster informed student electoral participation by requiring New York institutions of higher learning to systematize and expand their engagement with student voters. The legislation comes as student voting at American colleges is increasingly under assault. Joe Donahue discusses the proposal with Jonathan Becker and Sierra Ford.

She highlights the alarming statistics surrounding depression among teens, emphasizing the importance of creating a safe environment for open conversations about mental health. Dr. Kathy encourages parents to foster courage in discussing these sensitive topics, reassuring them that while it may lead to uncovering troubling issues, engaging in these conversations is crucial for supporting their children's well-being.

It's Thursday, March 12th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Nepal's new government less likely to feature Hindu nationalists Christians in Nepal are cautiously hopeful after recent elections in the Asian country located north of India and which features the Himalayan Mountains including Mount Everest. Youth-led protests toppled the government last year. The new government is poised to feature less Hindu-nationalist parties. Hindu extremists drive most persecution of Christians in Nepal.  One pastor in the country told International Christian Concern, “The [election] results are unexpected. Though the outcome is confusing, we remain hopeful, especially as there appears to be a decline in the influence of pro-Hindu nationalist parties.”  Franklin Graham preached to 90,000 in Lima, Peru Evangelist Franklin Graham shared the Gospel of Christ with over 90,000 people in Lima, Peru over the weekend.  Listen. GRAHAM: “The Bible says, ‘All we, like sheep, have gone astray. Each has turned to his own way.' But man has a problem. That problem is called sin. “Sin is a barrier. It's a wall between you and God, and sin has to be atoned, and the only way is through the shed blood of Jesus, Christ on the cross. “Without Jesus, you have no hope. You cannot save yourself, only the blood of Jesus. “You have a choice tonight.  Jesus said, ‘I'll never leave you nor forsake you.' Will you come to Him tonight?” Thousands responded to the message during the evangelical event. Peru is a predominantly Catholic country. However, the number of Evangelicals has been growing rapidly in the South American country in recent years.  Chile is first country to eliminate leprosy in the Americas Chile recently became the first country in the Americas to officially eliminate leprosy.  The World Health Organization and the Pan American Health Organization verified the achievement. Chile has not reported any locally acquired cases of the disease for over 30 years.  The World Health Organization noted, “Leprosy, also known as Hansen disease … primarily affects the skin, peripheral nerves, upper respiratory tract mucosa, and eyes. If untreated, it can lead to permanent nerve damage, disabilities, and social stigma.” U.S. and Ecuador team up to kick drug cartels out The United States and Ecuador launched joint military operations against drug cartels in the South American country last week.  Over a dozen other Latin American countries also plan to cooperate with the U.S. military against drug smuggling operations. U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth addressed these countries during the Shield of Americas Summit in Florida on Saturday. Listen.  HEGSETH: “We don't have to live with communities flooded with drugs or violence or cartels and gangs. We can seal our border, and we have to for our citizens. “We share a hemisphere and geography. We share cultures, Western Christian civilization. We share these things together. We have to have the courage to defend it. We have a Commander-in-Chief in our country who's set that compass heading.” New poll: Don't need to believe in God to be moral Pew Research reports fewer people around the world believe it's necessary to believe in God to be moral. A majority of adults in the United States, Canada, and Europe say it's not necessary to believe in God to be moral and have good values. People in Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America are much more likely to say belief in God is necessary for morality.  In the U.S., 31% of adults say it's necessary to believe in God to be moral. That's down from 42% in 2014. Wyoming passes Heartbeat bill Wyoming became the latest state to enact a fetal heartbeat law. Republican Governor Mark Gordon signed the Human Heartbeat Act into law on Monday. This makes Wyoming the fifth state to ban abortions on babies at about six weeks of pregnancy.  If a heartbeat is detected, the baby must be protected. Liberty Counsel noted, “The ‘Human Heartbeat Act' bans abortions after a heartbeat can be detected. However, it does include exceptions for medical emergencies when the mother's life is in danger, or her health is at risk of serious impairment. The law does not include exceptions for rape or incest.” John Newton, former slave ship captain, wrote “Amazing Grace” And finally, this week is the anniversary of John Newton's conversion.  Newton was a captain of slave ships in his early life. While at sea, a severe storm brought him to his spiritual senses. This led to his conversion on March 10, 1748. Newton went on to marry, become a pastor, and work to end the slave trade. Newton is well known for his hymns. Each week he would write a hymn to a familiar tune. Of his hundreds of hymns, he is especially remembered for “Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken,” “How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds!” and “Amazing Grace.” WINTLEY PHIPPS: “Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now I'm found, was blind, but now I see.” That was sung by Wintley Phipps. Newton wrote his own epitaph for his tombstone which says, “Once an infidel … was by the rich mercy of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ preserved, restored, pardoned and appointed to preach the faith he had long labored to destroy.” Reminds me of the Apostle Paul. Ephesians 2:8 says, “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.”  Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, March 12th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

  Christina Hello, everyone, I'm Christina Darnell, the managing editor of MinistryWatch. Welcome to the MinistryWatch podcast. In today's extra episode, I talk with Warren Smith about some news items that are slightly (even significantly) outside of our normal charity and philanthropy “beat.” So, Warren, what's up first? Warren This week, I've been thinking a bit about Lonnie Frisbee, one of the more interesting and tragic figures of American Evangelicalism was Lonnie Frisbee. Christina He was a key figure in the so-called “Jesus Revolution” of the 1970s, and he helped found two church movements still around today: Calvary Chapel and Vineyard Churches. Warren That's right. He influenced John Wimber, Greg Laurie, and many others. He died this week (March 12) in 1993 of AIDS. But before he died, he had an outsized impact on the Jesus Revolution, both for good and for ill. I won't go into his biography here, but if you check out my “Signs and Wonders” column this week, I have a link to a longer story I did about him a few years ago. It will be in the show notes for today's program. To read more about Frisbee and the mark he left on American Evangelicalism, click here. Christina You've also been thinking about Kazakhstan this week. Warren Yes, it might sound strange, but I am paying attention to Kazakhstan this week. Christina That seems kind of random. Is there a reason? Warren They vote on Friday on a new constitution, the third constitution since 1993. Kazakhstan is one of the largest countries in the world by land mass. And within Kazakhstan is the largest lake in the world, the Caspian Sea, which is not a sea at all, but a massive lake the size of the state of Montana. Christina But for all its size, it has only about 20 million people. Warren A long-time Soviet satellite, it is an independent nation with a sizable Christian population – about 20 percent. However, it is a country that has a history of human rights, free speech, and civil liberties violations. Critics say the new constitution will further consolidate power with the country's chief executive. Christian ministries operating in Kazakhstan include the Kazakhstan Baptist Union, Youth for Christ, Salvation Army, Operation Mobilization, and International Fellowship of Evangelical Students. Christina Another event happening this week is a bit outside of MinistryWatch's normal coverage, but is a huge cultural event. That's the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas. Warren South by Southwest, commonly called “South by,” is one of the largest tech, movie, music, and culture events in the country. It regularly draws 120,000 to Austin, Texas. I covered SXSW for WORLD and was always able to find some explicitly Christian events going on. Last year, there was a significant faith component to the proceedings. Silicon Valley Christian hosted SVC at SXSW. It was the largest explicitly Christian gathering at South by this year. Last year's event included a “keynote conversation” with actor Zachary Levi, cultural conversations about Christianity in tech spaces, and music, including musicians Matt Maher and For King and Country. The details on this year's event are vague, though its Sunday worship service appears still to be on. Christian artists appearing at South by this week include Mission and Sam Llanes. Christina South by Southwest has a significant technology component. In fact, it was at South by that Twitter was first rolled out, in the early 2000s. From those beginnings, social media has gone on to take over the world in many ways. Warren That's right, but now new laws are attempting to limit social media, especially in the lives of young people. One of those new laws was recently passed in Virginia. Christina But WORLD Magazine reports that a federal judge on Feb. 27 temporarily paused enforcement of the Virginia law. Warren The law would limit minors under 16 to one hour of screen time per social media platform per day.”  The law was supported by Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, the state's attorney general, and an overwhelming bipartisan majority of the Virginia legislature. Christina Nonetheless, U.S. District Judge Patricia Tolliver Giles sided with NetChoice, an industry trade group representing YouTube, Google, X, Netflix, and other platforms. Warren The judge said the law violated First Amendment free speech protections. Giles said the 2025 law “burdens more speech than necessary as it requires all persons to verify their age before accessing speech that is protected for everyone.” The state has appealed the ruling. Christina And there's more trouble in the Anglican Church in North America. Warren ACNA appointed Bishop Julian Dobbs to be its acting archbishop back in November, when Archbishop Steve Wood was credibly charged with sexual harassment of one of his employees. Now, old accusations that Dobbs misappropriated $47,862 have been raised by one of his rivals, Bishop Derek Jones. Christina Jones left ACNA a few months ago following a controversy over his leadership of the military chaplains. He has formed a new denomination called the Anglican Reformed Catholic Church. Warren Dobbs is now suing Jones for defamation. Dobbs says the disputed sum is $3,750, and the money was not misappropriated, but temporarily put into the wrong back account. The mistake was caught and quickly corrected. Former Archbishop Foley Beach backs up Dobbs' version of the story. Dobbs asked a federal court in Alabama to order Bishop Derek Jones to pay compensatory and punitive damages. Christina That brings us to the end of this week's conversation. Any final notes before we go? Warren A few. Did you know I also write fiction? I published a novel back in 2017, and I'm working on a new novel now. The Blacklist, an influential community of screenwriters and novelists, is featuring my novel-in-progress Up The American on its site this week. If you want to read the excerpt they are publishing, I'll link to it in today's show notes. I have some travel coming up in the next couple of months, and I would love to see you. I will be in Los Angeles in April and Dallas in May. I will be doing reader lunches in both cities. Let me know if you would like to join us. My email is wsmith@ministrywatch.com. Christina The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. I'm Christina Darnell, with my co-host Warren Smith. Until next time, may God bless you.

Coucou everyone!Catherine shares how a love for jazz and swing music turned a group of teens from fans into resistance members in Nazi Germany - and they called themselves the Swingjugend. To this day, jazz and swing symbolize freedom of expression, non-conformism, liberalism, independence, and internationalism, and that is exactly what these music genres symbolized to the Swing Youth.

https://teachhoops.com/ The rise of national and regional youth basketball rankings for players as young as fourth or fifth grade is one of the most polarizing developments in the sport. On the "helpful" side, rankings can provide exposure and validation for elite talents who might otherwise be overlooked, especially those in rural areas. They can also serve as a "benchmark" for players, sparking a competitive fire to work harder. However, at the youth level, these lists are often "Projection-Based Guesswork." A player who is "ranked" at age 11 is often simply the child who hit their growth spurt early or has matured physically faster than their peers. By the time they reach high school, the "late bloomers" often catch up, rendering those early rankings irrelevant. The primary danger of early rankings is the creation of a "Fixed Mindset" and the "Arrival Fallacy." When a 12-year-old is told they are "Top 50 in the Nation," they often stop seeking the "hard coaching" that builds long-term success. They begin to play for the "highlight reel" rather than the "win," leading to the "Deterioration of Fundamentals." Instead of learning how to move without the ball or set a proper screen, they focus on isolation plays that will look good on social media. Conversely, players who aren't ranked often feel "defeated" before they've even reached puberty, leading to premature burnout and a loss of "Trust Equity" in the developmental process. As a coach or parent, you must master the "Art of the Filter." Use rankings as a "conversation starter," not a "conclusion." If a player is ranked, challenge them to prove they are the hardest worker in the gym, not just the most talented. If they aren't ranked, use it as fuel for their "underdog" mentality. Utilize TeachHoops member calls to "audit" your program's culture: are you celebrating "national status," or are you celebrating the "Zero-Talent" metrics like floor dives and box-outs? By prioritizing "Rep Density" and Skill Acquisition over "digital clout," you ensure that your athletes are building a foundation that will actually hold up when the college scouts start watching for real in 11th grade.

Jake Schroeder—former frontman of OP Gone Bad, national anthem singer for the Colorado Avalanche, and executive director of the Denver Police Activities League—now runs the D-Day Leadership Academy, bringing inner-city youth to Normandy, France to learn leadership through the stories of World War II.After concussions, insurance costs, and political shifts dismantled his youth sports programs serving 4,000 kids a year, Jake pivoted. Inspired by the WWII veterans he'd been bringing back to Omaha Beach and Utah Beach since 2011, he transformed his nonprofit into a Normandy-based leadership program built on five pillars drawn from D-Day: leading from the front, total commitment to mission, chaos, preparation, and empathy. In this conversation, he and host Christian Taylor—director of the award-winning documentary The Girl Who Wore Freedom—explore what success really means when the money isn't there but the mission keeps growing.What You'll Learn:What does the D-Day Leadership Academy teach kids in Normandy?How do you pivot a nonprofit when your core programs collapse?What did WWII veterans say about people recreating on Normandy's beaches?How do you define success when your documentary or nonprofit isn't financially profitable?What are John Elway's three rules for running a successful charity event?How does Stoic philosophy help when you're facing failure in filmmaking or leadership?What documentary films should you watch?

On Episode 105 of the Daebak K-Rambles Podcast, Jess and Lola from Lola Pops Off About Kdramas Podcast—a proud crybaby and longtime K-drama watcher—tackle sad K-dramas and ask the question: If a drama made you miserable… why are you still thinking about it years later? From classics like Autumn in My Heart and I'm Sorry, I Love You to modern heartbreakers like Twenty-Five Twenty-One, The Red Sleeve, Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo, and My Mister, we explore why sad K-dramas linger in ways lighter rom-coms rarely do. Sad K-dramas don't just tell stories; they demand emotional labor. They ask viewers to sit with grief, process unresolved pain, and empathize deeply.We break down the psychology behind why tragic Korean dramas generate obsessive rewatch culture and endless discourse. Korean melodrama occupies a unique space rarely sustained in Western television—shows like Mr. Sunshine, Youth of May, Move to Heaven, and Goblin commit to emotional consequence from start to finish. They don't rush catharsis. Finally, we also confront the risk—when sadness tips into trauma porn and loses narrative integrity.This conversation is more about permission: permission to watch sad K-dramas, to be moved by them, and to stop apologizing for loving stories that hurt. Our conclusion is simple: we don't love sad K-dramas because we enjoy pain; we love them because they treat emotion as something worth sitting with.GUEST: LolaInstagram: @lolapopsoffaboutkdramasTikTok: @lolapopsoffaboutkdramasWebsite: http://www.lolapopsoffaboutkdramas.comAll K-dramas discussed within this episode: When Life Gives You Tangerines • I'm Sorry, I Love You • Business Proposal • Strong Woman Do Bong-Soon • Autumn in My Heart • Heartless City (aka Cruel City) • What Happened in Bali • Twenty-Five Twenty-One • The Red Sleeve • Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo • Mr. Sunshine • Youth of May • Move to Heaven • My Mister • Goblin • Oh My Ghost • Hotel Del Luna • Queen for Seven Days • The Light in Your Eyes • Spring Waltz • 49 Days • A Man's Story (aka Slingshot) • Arang and the Magistrate • Light Shop • Mr. Plankton • Our Blues • Tomorrow • My Liberation Notes • Cain and Abel • Padam Padam • I Miss You • Queen Mantis • Queen of Tears • The King2HeartsIntro Music Credit: “Golden Coconut Club” by Tearliner, from the Cheese in the Trap OST.

Religious belief is supposed to fade as societies get richer and more educated. So why do newer surveys show the opposite pattern in the United States, with college grads and post grads often *more* likely to attend church than people with only a high school education? We unpack what the data can and cannot prove, why earlier secularization theories missed key realities, and how a smaller but more committed religious share can still look like a “revival” in daily life.We also get into the deeper driver behind the numbers: meaning. For many young adults, especially Gen Z, the loss of stable community and shared moral language can feel like a vacuum. We talk through why “science versus faith” is often framed as a conflict, how that framing breaks down in real life, and why congregations can function as durable social institutions that provide belonging, support, and a place to raise kids with values that feel coherent.Zooming out globally, the story changes fast. Western Europe continues to secularize, but the global south tells a different tale. We explore why sub Saharan Africa may become the centerpiece of global Christianity, from fertility rates and a very young age structure to the practical role churches play where public institutions are weak. We also debate the risks of religion blending with partisan politics and the growing connection between schooling choices, religious communities, and family life.If you found this conversation useful, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review with your biggest question about where faith, community, and demographics are headed next.Support Our WorkThe Center for Demographics and Policy focuses on research and analysis of global, national, and regional demographic trends and explores policies that might produce favorable demographic results over time.

Notes and Links to Tom Junod's Work   Tom Junod is an ESPN senior writer who has written some of the most enduring and widely read longform journalism of the last 30 years.    He joined ESPN in 2016 and has specialized in deeply reported stories on subjects ranging from Muhammad Ali's funeral to Tom Brady's desire to play forever. He has been nominated for an Emmy for his work on “The Hero of Goodall Park,” an E60 program on the ancient secrets that were revealed when a car drove on a baseball field in Maine during a Babe Ruth League game in 2018.     In a 2022 piece, “Untold,” he and ESPN investigative reporter Paula Lavigne spent nearly two years uncovering the horrific crimes of Todd Hodne, a  Penn State football player who in the late 1970's terrorized State College PA, and Long Island, NY, as a serial sexual predator.    Before coming to ESPN, Junod wrote for GQ and Esquire, where he won two National Magazine Awards and was a finalist for the award a record 11 times. For Esquire's 75th Anniversary, the editors of the magazine selected his 9/11 story “The Falling Man' as one of the seven top stories in Esquire's history. In 2019, his story on beloved children's TV host Fred Rogers, “Can You Say…Hero?,” served as the basis for the movie “A Beautiful Day in The Neighborhood,” starring Tom Hanks and Matthew Rhys.    His work has been widely anthologized in collections including The Best American Magazine Writing, the Best American Sports Writing, the Best American Political Writing, the Best American Crime Writing, and the Best American Food Writing.

Hello Brave Friends!In this Expert episode, hosts Jessica Patay and Susanna Peace Lovell sit down with therapist and behavior analyst Monica Fyfe, LMFT, BCBA, to explore the evolving landscape of therapy for neurodivergent youth.Monica brings a unique perspective to her work, blending her experience as a licensed marriage and family therapist with her training as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. In this thoughtful conversation, she explains how therapy for neurodivergent children has shifted in recent years toward more compassionate, individualized, and strengths-based approaches.Together, they discuss how modern therapeutic practices—including updated approaches to Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)—are increasingly centered on dignity, consent, and the unique needs of each child. Monica also shares how integrating different therapeutic frameworks, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), can help children and teens better understand their emotions, identify their values, and build confidence navigating the world.The conversation also explores the powerful role of language in shaping how families understand diagnoses and neurodiversity. Monica encourages parents to focus less on labels and more on specific goals and supports that help their children thrive. She also discusses the importance of helping neurodivergent youth build “social navigation” skills that allow them to create meaningful connections and engage with their communities.Finally, Monica introduces her children's book series, which uses storytelling and bibliotherapy to introduce therapeutic concepts in accessible, engaging ways for kids and families.This episode is full of practical insight and reassurance for parents seeking thoughtful, respectful, and effective support for their neurodivergent children.Find more about Monica Fyfe's children's series Welcome to Petsville here.Find more information about Licensed Psychotherapist, Dr. Zoe Shaw here. Find Dr. Zoe's book, Stronger in the Difficult Places: Heal Your Relationship with Yourself by Untangling Complex Shame Brave Together is the podcast for We are Brave Together, a not-for-profit organization based in the USA.
