Mit meinem Gott kann ich über Mauern springenAndreas Zeller, pensionierter Pfarrer und ehemaliger Präsident des Synodalrats der reformierten Kirche Bern-Jura-SolothurnIn diesen Wochen feiern viele Jugendliche ihre Konfirmation. Gleichzeitig treffen sich vielerorts Menschen zur Goldenen Konfirmation und blicken auf 50 Jahre Lebenserfahrung zurück. Andreas Zeller erinnert daran, wie Hoffnungen, Träume und Konfirmationssprüche junge Menschen auf ihrem Weg begleiten. Besonders bewegt ihn der Vers: „Mit meinem Gott kann ich über Mauern springen.“ Was mit 16 Jahren als mutiges Lebensmotto beginnt, gewinnt im Lauf des Lebens eine tiefere Bedeutung. Denn jeder Mensch begegnet Hindernissen, Rückschlägen und Herausforderungen. Oft braucht es Mut, Geduld und die Hilfe anderer, um diese Mauern zu überwinden. Mit den Jahren wird aus jugendlicher Hoffnung ein erprobtes Vertrauen: Gott nimmt uns die Schwierigkeiten nicht ab, aber er begleitet uns auf unserem Weg und schenkt Kraft für die nächsten Schritte.„Wort zum Tag“ lebt davon, dass Menschen zuhören – und mittragen.

Die Antwort weht im WindAndreas Zeller, pensionierter Pfarrer und ehemaliger Präsident des Synodalrats refbejusoAm Pfingstsonntag feiert Bob Dylan seinen 85. Geburtstag. Andreas Zeller verbindet dessen berühmtes Lied „Blowin' in the Wind“ mit der biblischen Pfingstgeschichte. Gottes Geist wird dort wie ein Wind beschrieben: unsichtbar, kraftvoll und voller Bewegung. Bob Dylan stellte mit seinen Liedern grosse Fragen nach Frieden, Gerechtigkeit und Menschlichkeit – ohne einfache Antworten zu liefern. Gerade darin entdeckt Andreas Zeller etwas zutiefst Pfingstliches: Gottes Geist wirkt nicht durch Zwang oder fertige Lösungen, sondern durch Inspiration, Sehnsucht und Veränderung. Pfingsten erinnert daran, dass Gottes Geist Menschen bewegt und Hoffnung weckt – damals wie heute.Spendenaufruf:„Wort zum Tag“ lebt davon, dass Menschen zuhören – und mittragen.

Bin ich genug?Andreas Zeller, pensionierter Pfarrer und ehemaliger Präsident des Synodalrats refbejuso„Bin ich genug?“ – eine Frage, die viele Menschen tief in sich tragen. Andreas Zeller verbindet diese Sehnsucht mit den Worten des Propheten Jeremia, der von einem neuen Bund Gottes spricht: Nicht mehr auf Steintafeln, sondern direkt ins Herz schreibt Gott seine Weisung. Trotz Enttäuschungen, Irrwegen und Brüchen hält Gott an der Beziehung zu den Menschen fest. Der Glaube beginnt nicht damit, dass wir perfekt werden müssen, sondern damit, dass Gott uns längst angenommen hat. Inmitten von Zweifel und Unsicherheit kann daraus neue Freiheit wachsen – wie ein Mensch, der plötzlich wieder hinausgeht ins Licht und merkt: Das Leben ist schön. „Wort zum Tag“ lebt davon, dass Menschen zuhören – und mittragen.

Die Hände, die zum Beten ruhenPfarrer Andreas Zeller, MünsingenDer Sonntag Rogate lädt zum Beten ein. Andreas Zeller denkt dabei über Hände nach: Hände, die arbeiten, pflegen, halten, trösten, waschen oder müde geworden sind. Hände erzählen vom Leben. Im Gebet kommen sie zur Ruhe – nicht als Flucht vor dem Alltag, sondern als Quelle neuer Kraft. Jesus selbst hat zum einfachen, ehrlichen Gebet ermutigt: „Unser Vater“. Dieses Gebet verbindet Menschen mitten im Alltag – am Küchentisch, im Spitalzimmer, in schlaflosen Nächten oder in der Kirche. Beten bedeutet nicht Weltflucht, sondern Vertrauen. Und die Hände, die zum Beten ruhen, werden wieder stark zur Tat. „Wort zum Tag“ lebt davon, dass Menschen zuhören – und mittragen.

Kantate - singtAndreas Zeller, Pfarrer, ehemaliger Präsident Synodalrat refbejusoSingen gehört zu den grossen Wundern unseres Lebens. Unsere Stimme – so schlicht gebaut und doch so vielseitig – ermöglicht es uns, Gefühle auszudrücken, die über Worte hinausgehen. Andreas Zeller erinnert am Sonntag Kantate daran, dass Musik eine tiefe Verbindung schafft: zu uns selbst, zu anderen Menschen und zu Gott. Vom Wiegenlied bis zum Chorgesang, vom Ohrwurm bis zum Stadiongesang – überall zeigt sich diese besondere Gabe. Auch wenn gemeinsames Singen heute weniger selbstverständlich ist als früher, bleibt es eine kraftvolle Form von Gemeinschaft und Glauben. Denn wo Menschen zusammen singen, entsteht etwas, das berührt und verbindet. Die Kirche singt – als Ausdruck von Hoffnung, Vertrauen und gelebtem Glauben.„Wort zum Tag“ lebt davon, dass Menschen zuhören – und mittragen.

What really happens inside the world's most dangerous underground economies? And why do the people running them trust a journalist enough to talk? Mariana van Zeller — Emmy- and Peabody Award–winning investigative journalist, host and executive producer of Trafficked on National Geographic, and host of The Hidden Third podcast — has spent years embedded with scammers, smugglers, cartel members, assassins, and black-market power brokers. In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, she pulls back the curtain on the shadow systems that quietly shape the global economy. Mariana breaks down the difference between the black market vs. the grey market, why understanding these hidden economies is the only way to create real change, and how she manages to gain access to some of the most secretive and dangerous players in the world. She explains how empathy, not judgment, is often the key to getting people labeled “the worst of the worst” to open up, and why many of them speak with her because of something surprisingly simple: a deep human need to be heard and understood. She also addresses critics who say she shouldn't give criminals a platform, revealing why listening to these voices is essential to exposing the systems behind global crime. We dive into her most harrowing experiences in the field — including the terrifying moment she and her team weren't sure they would make it out alive, and the time they had to escape a country in the middle of a life-threatening military coup while filming. Mariana also unpacks the current climate in Mexico's drug war, explaining why violence often escalates when major cartel kingpins are taken down, and the troubling implications of the fact that many of the weapons used by cartels originate in the United States. We get into one of the fastest-growing criminal industries in the world: scams. She breaks down everything you've ever wanted to know about romance scams and “pig butchering” operations, including: - Psychological tactics scammers use - Who scammers typically target and why - Massive infrastructure behind modern scam compounds - Why many scammers are actually victims of forced labor themselves - Why victims often stay silent due to shame and stigma Mariana explains why advancing technology, crypto, and AI are making financial scams easier than ever, and why anyone can fall victim — no matter how smart or cautious they are, including the shocking case of a bank CEO who was successfully defrauded. We also explore medical black markets, from organ trafficking to international surrogacy scams, and discuss some of her most intense interviews, from conversations with a suspected Russian sex spy to Anna Delvey, the infamous socialite scammer. Despite spending her career face-to-face with some of the darkest corners of humanity, Mariana reveals something surprising: she still believes deeply in people. In fact, she sometimes finds more hope, honesty, and equality in underground markets than in global governments or legal capitalism.

Wie viel Branding braucht eine starke Marke heute noch? Diese Frage beantwortet Steffen Zeller, CMO der Rügenwalder Mühle, im Podcast mit Verena Gründel. Steffen Zeller treibt seit 2021 die strategische Weiterentwicklung der Rügenwalder Mühle voran. Mit Stationen bei Unternehmen wie Iglo, Mondelez und Kraft Foods bringt er umfassende Erfahrung aus der FMCG-Welt mit. Seine Herausforderung: eine Traditionsmarke modernisieren, ohne ihre Wurzeln zu verlieren. Dabei geht es nicht nur um Produkte, sondern um Haltung, Relevanz und die Fähigkeit, sich in einer zunehmend komplexen Medienlandschaft zu behaupten. Spannende Zahlen aus dieser Folge: 60 % Branding vs. 40 % Performance ist Steffens Idealverteilung50 % des Kampagnenerfolgs entfallen auf das CreativeRügenwalder hat seit 2021 den TV-Anteil im Media-Mix von 90 % auf ca. 40–50 % gesenkt26 % der Marken sind heute nicht in den LLMs auffindbar Ein zentraler Gedanke des Gesprächs: Marketing ist heute komplexer denn je. „Es gab noch nie so viele Wege und Möglichkeiten, eine Marke schlecht zu führen wie heute“, bringt es Zeller auf den Punkt. Genau deshalb sei eine klare Markenpositionierung entscheidend – funktional und emotional zugleich.Besonders spannend ist sein Blick auf die Rolle von Kreativität. Für ihn ist sie kein „Nice-to-have“, sondern ein zentraler Wachstumstreiber: „50 Prozent des Erfolges ist das Creative und 50 Prozent die Aussteuerung und Media.“Am Beispiel der Rügenwalder-Kampagnen zeigt sich, wie wichtig emotionale Ansprache ist. Statt rein funktionaler Produktkommunikation setzt das Team bewusst auf Gemeinschaft, Genuss und Leichtigkeit. Diese emotionale Ebene sorgt dafür, dass Werbung nicht nur gesehen, sondern auch erinnert wird – und letztlich Kaufentscheidungen beeinflusst.Marke schlägt kurzfristige PerformanceGleichzeitig warnt Zeller vor einem zu starken Fokus auf Performance-Marketing. Wer nur kurzfristige Effekte optimiere, vernachlässige den langfristigen Markenaufbau. Sein Bild: ein Apfelbaum, der gepflegt werden muss, bevor man ernten kann. Ohne kontinuierliche Investitionen in Branding verliere jede Marke langfristig an Strahlkraft.Dabei geht es nicht nur um Reichweite, sondern um relevante Reichweite. Entscheidend ist, die richtigen Zielgruppen zur richtigen Zeit mit der passenden Botschaft zu erreichen. Gerade in einer fragmentierten Medienlandschaft wird das zur zentralen Herausforderung.„Es gab noch nie so viele Möglichkeiten, eine Marke schlecht zu führen wie heute. Umso wichtiger ist eine klare Positionierung – nicht nur über funktionale Vorteile, sondern auch über emotionale Werte. Genau diese gilt es konsequent in Kommunikation zu übersetzen.“Hör unbedingt in die Folge rein und entdecke, wie modernes Markenmanagement wirklich funktioniert.Und wenn du noch tiefer in die Marketingwelt eintauchen willst: Komm am 23. und 24.

Den Büttelborner Bürgermeister ann man als künstlichen Avatar im Internetet treffen, Bayerns Ministerpräsident Markus Söder isst seine Bratwürste auf Instagram. Politiker veruschen immer mehr über sotiale medien kontakt mit den bürgern aufzunehmen. Der Pfungstädter Bürgermeister macht es genau anders herum. Der setzt jetzt auch wieder auf klassische Briefkästen. Überall in der Stadt verteilt hängen jetzt Briefkästen an öffentlichen Gebäuden wie zum Beispiel dem Stadthaus, dem Bürgerheim, der alten schule oder dem Bürgerzentrum. Der Sinn dahinter? Wer dem Bürgermeister was sagen will, kann ganz einfach einen Zettel reinwerfen. Direkter Austausch mit den Bürgern also. Wer nichts zum schreiben dabei hat, kann eine der Postkarten benutzen, die bei den Briefkästen dabei liegen. Laut Stadt werden die Kästen regelmäßig geleert und dann ausgewertet. In Bad König gibt es heute Grund zur Freude: Der Neubau der Zeller Brücke startet offiziell. Seit der Sperrung im April 2025 ist Zell ein echtes Nadelöhr: Pendler müssen Umwege fahren, es staut sich sich, Lärm und Stress inklusive. Der Spatenstich heute ist eher symbolisch, denn auf der Baustelle wird schon gearbeitet, die Fundamente für die neuen Pfeiler werden gebaut. Rund elf Millionen Euro steckt der Bund in das Projekt, geplant ist die Freigabe im Juni 2027. Für die Menschen vor Ort heißt das: endlich Licht am Ende des Tunnels. Klar, die Bauzeit bringt nochmal Einschränkungen - aber vor allem wächst jetzt die Zuversicht, dass bald wieder Ruhe einkehrt im Odenwald. Sie zählt laut der Verkehrsbehörde hessenmobil zu den schwierigsten Baustellen in Südhessen: Die Wehrbrücke in Hirschhorn über den Neckar. Seit bald vier Jahren wird saniert, die Belastung für Anlieger ist groß und immer tauchen neue Probleme auf. Mit das größte: ein asbesthaltiger Straßenbelag. Der soll ab morgen runter. Dafür kommen Strahler mit sehr, sehr großem Wasserdruck zum Einsatz. Die sollen den hartnäckigen, gesundheitsschädlichen Belag abtragen aber die Fahrbahnplatte darunter nicht beschädigen. Im Anschluss muss das Wasser aufgefangen werden. Dafür muss auch die Landesstraße unter der Brücke halbseitig gesperrt werden. Ende des Jahres soll die Wehrbrücke wieder befahrbar sein. Ein schwarzer Gummi-Beutel wie ein kleiner Seesack - gehört jetzt zur lebensrettenden Ausrüstung der Rüsselsheimer Feuerwehr: 300 sogenannter Drybags haben die Einsatzkräfte jetzt von der Stadt bekommen. Die Drybags sind Wasser- und luftdichte Taschen, in denen frische Wechselkleidung sauber und sicher mit zum Einsatz genommen werden kann. Das hat einen ernsten Hintergrund: Nach Bränden hängen oft Rauchgase und giftige Schadstoffe an der Schutzkleidung. Das heißt: je schneller die Retter raus aus der belasteten Kleidung können, desto besser! Angestoßen hat das Ganze die freiwillige Feuerwehr aus dem Ortsteil Haßloch und die Stadt Rüsselsheim hat 4.800 € für die Drybags locker gemacht.

“There's nothing and nowhere where God won't go. God can handle the pain, the doubt, the disbelief—and naming it allows us to honor the space and the time.”In “The Blessings of Small Steps,” Pastor Kelsey sits down with Reverend Kimberly Knowle-Zeller to explore how blessing the messiness of everyday life opens us to God's presence, especially when hope feels scarce. Together, they discuss how simple practices can help us remember the sacred within our routines, and how blessing others (and ourselves) is an act of trust and courage in a hurting world.In this episode, you'll hear:Honest reflections about parenthood, pastoral care, and finding God in the mundaneHow the practice of writing blessings became a way forward during seasons of exhaustion and uncertaintyThe power and vulnerability of sending words out into the world—and letting them goWhy naming pain and hardship aloud can reveal what is sacred, without bypassing what is realAn original blessing from Reverend Kimberly Noel Zeller's new book, Small StepsAbout KimReverend Kimberly Knowle-Zeller is an author, pastor, and mother whose writing brings grace to life's hardest, messiest corners.

In this episode, I sit down with Preston Zeller—an inspiring technologist, artist, and committed believer—to explore the fascinating intersection of faith, technology, and emotional intelligence.Preston shares the story behind Psalm Log, an app he created to deliver personalized biblical advice, using AI technology to help people navigate both their spiritual and emotional journeys.Together, we discuss the role artificial intelligence is playing in faith practice today, discussing its ethical implications, potential pitfalls, and how it can actually support reflection and personal growth—no matter your religious background.We also talk about Preston's moving experience with grief and creativity, highlighted by his award-winning documentary, “The Art of Grieving.” Preston reveals how artistic expression can serve as a powerful outlet for healing, and why embracing creativity isn't just for artists, but for anyone seeking to work through life's toughest challenges.Moments04:09 AI-Assisted Journaling for Growth06:22 "Faithful AI Alliance Initiative"12:18 AI Adoption: Categories and Insights15:02 Navigating Uncertainty in Information17:49 "The Value of Authentic Writing"20:30 Sunday Christians and Spiritual Stagnation25:41 "Finding Hope Amid Struggles"29:02 "Psalm Log: Grief in Art"30:52 "Painting Grief into Mosaic"35:46 "Navigating Loss and Connection"36:40 "Grief, Discipline, and Healing"40:19 "Creative Expression for Healing"45:56 "Creativity Opens New Possibilities"47:02 "Grief, Emotions, and Healing"50:37 Approaching Gospel with Nonbelievers55:38 "Less Can Be More"57:07 Faithful AI and Biblical GuidanceHere are 3 key takeaways:AI as a Tool for Reflection & Growth: Preston emphasized that Psalm Log uses AI responsibly to supplement personal and spiritual reflection, not replace it. Technology can facilitate deeper self-awareness and biblical guidance, but it shouldn't override the human side of processing and agency.Creativity & Grief as Catalysts for Healing: Preston's documentary, The Art of Grieving, explores how creativity can be a powerful outlet in navigating loss. Whether through art, music, or journaling, giving emotions their “mic” leads to genuine healing and growth.Inclusivity & Impact Beyond Belief: While Psalm Log is inspired by biblical wisdom, its benefits aren't limited to Christians. Preston noted the app is designed to help anyone—regardless of faith background—find encouragement and tools for emotional wellness.Preston Zeller sits at an unusual intersection: faith-tech founder, growth executive, documentary filmmaker, and abstract artist. As founder of Psalmlog, he's building an AI-powered biblical guidance app that helps believers access relevant Scripture for any life situation—addressing the universal Christian challenge of knowing God's Word has answers but not knowing where to look.His approach is informed by proprietary research with 200+ Christians and 15 years scaling companies from $25M to $300M ARR. As Chief Growth Officer at BatchService, he oversaw the GTM teams, leading to two successful exits. He previously led digital marketing and growth at A Cloud Guru (acquired by Pluralsight for $2B) and ZoomInfo (IPO'd).Preston brings equal depth to creative work. His documentary The Art of Grieving (2022) follows his year-long project of painting daily after his 35-year-old brother Colin died suddenly from a fentanyl overdose. The film explores grief through personal narrative, art therapy, and cultural history. It's available on Amazon Prime, Apple TV, and Tubi, and has won Best Documentary at the LA Film Awards, Bridge Film Fest, and Love Wins International Film Festival.In each episode, Jeff and Eric will talk about what emotional intelligence, or understanding your emotions, can do for you in your daily and work life.

Drug cartels have quietly infiltrated rural America. Trafficked host Mariana van Zeller walks us through the underworld hiding beneath our very feet.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1302What We Discuss with Mariana van Zeller:Mexican drug cartels are deliberately setting up operations in small-town America — not big cities — because rural areas have minimal law enforcement, making it easier to hide distribution networks where a single sheriff can't compete with heavily armed cartel operatives.Mariana van Zeller builds trust with dangerous sources — from cartel lieutenants to assassins — by ditching prepared question lists, sharing personal photos, and offering cigarettes, treating interviews as human conversations rather than interrogations to unlock genuine, unguarded responses.Commercial airlines like Delta are among the biggest drug transportation networks in the US, with cartel distributors exploiting everyday travel infrastructure rather than the covert smuggling operations most people imagine — meaning the drug trade hides in plain sight.The opioid-to-fentanyl-to-tranq-dope pipeline is a public health crisis, not a moral failing — most users started with a legitimate injury and a prescription, and the street drug xylazine now causes wounds resembling leprosy while hospitals stigmatize users instead of treating them.Mariana's approach to journalism offers a powerful reminder that curiosity and empathy — not judgment — are what unlock the deepest understanding of people and problems, a mindset anyone can practice to have more meaningful conversations and see the world with clearer eyes.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

We're celebrating women's history all month long on The Nikki & Brie Show! This episode features a true trailblazer, Emmy and Peabody Award-winning investigative journalist Mariana van Zeller. From covering black markets and war zones to sitting face-to-face with cartel members and global scammers, Mariana doesn't just report the story… she walks straight into it. And she does it with fearlessness, empathy, and an unwavering commitment to truth. In this powerful conversation, Mariana opens up about carving her own path in male-dominated spaces, refusing to take “no” for an answer (even if she needs to knock on a dean's door), and why understanding the why behind crime is more important than judgment. Nikki & Brie dive deep into courage, persistence, motherhood, purpose, and what it truly costs to pursue a calling that changes the world. This is the energy we're bringing all month long — bold women, real stories, raw truth, and impact that lingers long after the mic turns off.

Investigative journalist Mariana van Zeller joins us to unpack the world most people never see. From interviewing cartel leaders to going undercover and getting trapped during an overseas coup, her career has taken her into some of the most dangerous environments on the planet. We talk about fear, corruption, Mexico's current climate, the glamorization of crime, and the crimes that are happening in our own backyards. Are there truly bad people — or are we products of our environment?   CHAPTERS: 00:00 – Intro 02:57 – Mariana Van Zeller is On a Different Level 05:30 – Like Trafficked, but More Detailed 07:01 – How Did You End Up Here? 09:01 – A Month After Moving to NY, 09/11 Happened

Investigative journalist Mariana van Zeller joins Bobby to break down what it really takes to gain the trust of cartels operating in and around the U.S. and why no story is ever worth a life. She shares what she’s learned embedding with traffickers, how drugs move through America, and why the crisis isn’t just criminal, it's public health. They also dive into the psychology of scammers, from international fraud rings to headline-making con artists, and debate whether the people behind these crimes see themselves as villains at all. It’s a conversation about power, opportunism, corruption, and the uncomfortable truth about America’s role in fueling it all. Watch The BobbyCast on Netflix!

Check out host Bidemi Ologunde's new show: The Work Ethic Podcast, available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.Email: bidemiologunde@gmail.comIn this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde sits down with Preston Zeller to explore what it looks like to build technology that supports, rather than replaces, real human connection at the intersection of faith, grief, and emotional wellness. From Preston's 15+ years in tech leadership and business exits to his work on Psalmlog, an AI-driven tool designed to help Christians access Scripture-grounded guidance without losing the human touch of discipleship, they unpack the promises and pitfalls of "faith-tech." How do you design AI with privacy, safety, and spiritual integrity in mind? Where's the line between helpful support and unhealthy dependence, especially when someone is lonely or grieving? And what practices can help all of us develop a healthier relationship with technology in everyday life?On the Bid Picture Podcast, I talk about big ideas, and Lembrih is one of them. Born from Ghanaian roots, Lembrih is building an ethical marketplace for Black and African artisans: makers of heritage-rich products often overlooked online.

Ned Nikolov discusses the physical meaning of the global mean surface temperature, addressing critiques by papers from Essex et al. (2007) and Jonathan Cohler (2025) that question its validity. Nikolov argues that these critiques misunderstand thermodynamic principles, and presents his own analysis, supported by satellite data, which shows a meaningful correlation between global mean surface temperature and energy fluxes. He emphasizes the importance of using accurate scientific principles when critiquing climate science to maintain credibility.00:00 Introduction and Topic Overview00:38 Questioning the Global Mean Surface Temperature01:24 Review of Key Papers02:23 Arguments Against Global Mean Surface Temperature04:29 Analyzing the Validity of Temperature Averages09:47 Kohler's Perspective on Temperature Measurement19:03 Empirical Data and Model Comparisons33:45 Understanding Temperature in Thermodynamics37:49 Introduction to Temperature and Energy Concepts38:09 Kohler's Statement and Its Flaws38:34 Understanding Internal Energy and PV Energy40:39 The Gas Law and Its Implications43:08 Boltzmann Constant and Molecular Energy44:11 Degrees of Freedom in Gas Molecules45:06 Combining Equations for Total Energy48:33 Temperature and Energy Relationship49:11 Redefining Kelvin Using Boltzmann Constant54:57 Global Mean Surface Temperature57:55 Calculating Moon's Average Temperature01:02:05 Latitude and Global Temperature Relationship01:06:36 Critique of IPCC and Climate Skeptics01:09:35 Q&A and Final Thoughts Essex et al.

On the afternoon of March 26, 1997, the San Diego County Sherrif's Department received an anonymous call through 911 reporting a mass suicide at an address in Rancho Santa Fe, California. A single sheriff's deputy was dispatched to the address and knocked on the front door, but got no response. Finding a side door to the home unlocked, the deputy entered the house and was horrified to discover nearly forty bodies of adults, all of whom appeared to have taken their own lives in what appeared to be some kind of ritual.Not since the terrible mass deaths at Jonestown decades earlier had Americans seen such a bizarre and ultimately tragic occurrence and few were able to understand how such a thing could have happened in the modern age. What could have caused so many people to willingly give up their lives, and who was he enigmatic man who'd convinced them to do it?ReferencesAyers, B. Drummon. 1997.

2015 Best Book Award from the Communal Studies AssociationThe captivating story of the people of Heaven's Gate, a religious group focused on transcending humanity and the Earth, and seeking salvation in the literal heavens on board a UFOIn March 1997, thirty-nine people in Rancho Santa Fe, California, ritually terminated their lives. To outsiders, it was a mass suicide. To insiders, it was a graduation. This act was the culmination of over two decades of spiritual and social development for the members of Heaven's Gate.In this fascinating overview, Benjamin Zeller not only explores the question of why the members of Heaven's Gate committed ritual suicides, but interrogates the origin and evolution of the religion, its appeal, and its practices. By tracking the development of the history, social structure, and worldview of Heaven's Gate, Zeller draws out the ways in which the movement was both a reflection and a microcosm of larger American culture. The group emerged out of engagement with Evangelical Christianity, the New Age movement, science fiction and UFOs, and conspiracy theories, and it evolved in response to the religious quests of baby boomers, new religions of the counterculture, and the narcissistic pessimism of the 1990s. Thus, Heaven's Gate not only reflects the context of its environment, but also reveals how those forces interacted in the form of a single religious body. In the only book-length study of Heaven's Gate, Zeller traces the roots of the movement, examines its beliefs and practices, and tells the captivating story of its people.https://amzn.to/3LOfAj5Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

The rapid rise of artificial intelligence is reshaping nearly every industry, from finance to healthcare to creative work. One emerging and less-discussed frontier is Faith Tech—the application of modern technology, including AI, to support spiritual practice and religious life. In this conversation, entrepreneur and founder of venture studio Zellerhaus, Preston Zeller explores how AI can be used thoughtfully to build purpose-driven technology that supports faith, reflection, and personal growth.

I went into this interview a little nervous - because let's be honest, Mariana van Zeller is famously serious. She interviews assassins, drug lords, traffickers, and people living in the darkest corners of the world. I was fully prepared for an intense, heavy conversation. Instead… we laughed. A lot. This episode ended up being funny, warm, surprising, and genuinely joyful - while still being jaw-dropping. Mariana shares what it was like moving to Syria right out of college to become a reporter, the surreal moments of being picked up in the middle of the night, blindfolded, and driven somewhere unknown, and an interview where she wasn't allowed to bring a phone and had no idea where she was going. We also talk about the personal side of a life spent taking massive risks - how her husband and family support her completely, how she manages fear, and what it really takes to walk into dangerous spaces with empathy instead of ego. This conversation reminded me that the bravest people aren't hardened - they're human, curious, and often unexpectedly funny. Mariana is all of that and more, and this ended up being one of my favorite interviews I've ever done.Listen to Mariana's Podcast The Hidden Third HEREProduced by Dear MediaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On the responsibilities that come with life as a trans author trying to impact trans readers. On what her life experience brought to the page. On how she landed her first book deal.

  Royalty's children are among a growinggroup of children who have lost a parent or sibling. A 2023 report fromJudi's House – an organization that advocates for grieving kids and families –found that one in 12 kids will lose a parent or sibling by age 18. Since thepandemic, the rate has continued to increase. Following the death of his 35-year-old brother and facedwith the emotional toll of grief, artist Preston Zeller delves into a year-longproject to paint every day through Intuitive and abstract painting to processgrief and share his process with others. Along the way, this opens the door tonew conversation, ultimately raising the question of why grief isn't better addressedin Western culture?  As a culmination tothis year of painting, the 365 paintings are assembled into a massive 10 ft. x20 ft image to represent a year of grief and further spur conversations overthis important subject. When I directed The Art of Grieving, I witnessedfirsthand how creative action can transform loss, and it's reflected in my ownwalk through grief after losing my brother.
