  1. Epstein, Bitcoin, and Discernment Fatigue: Sorting Truth from Narrative

    18H AGO

    Epstein, Bitcoin, and Discernment Fatigue: Sorting Truth from Narrative

    We promised we’d talk about Epstein… andthen our feeds got flooded with one very specific claim: “Epstein is Satoshi Nakamoto.” And at first we were both like, no chance. But when the algorithm keeps serving the same story from twenty angles, it forces a bigger question: is any of this real… or is it narrative on purpose?   In this episode, we unpack the “Epstein =Satoshi” swirl, the way market moves can pair up with headline cycles, and why discernment matters more than ever when information is coming at you like a firehose. We talk about discernment fatigue, the difference between gut-checks and evidence-gathering, and why it’s so easy tobecome a slave to whatever storyline you’re being fed.   We also zoom out to something we’ve said for years: just because bad people used a tool doesn’t automatically make the tool evil. That conversation hits Bitcoin hard, but it applies to almost everything right now.   This isn’t a “we have all the answers” episode. It’s a “let’s stay awake and think clearly” episode.   Jointhe Discord channel and get into the conversation!https://discord.gg/NDtG3bUEbT   #Bitcoin, #EpsteinFiles, #SatoshiNakamoto,#MarketMystics, #Discernment, #ConspiracyTalk, #CryptoNews, #NarrativeControl,#MediaLiteracy, #SeasonFive

  2. When Leaders Get Exposed: Accountability, Grace, and the Cost of Performance

    3D AGO

    When Leaders Get Exposed: Accountability, Grace, and the Cost of Performance

    Lately, it feels like “exposure” iseverywhere, and this time it’s hitting the church.   In this episode, we talk through the recent wave of public allegations and critique surrounding prominent Christian leaders and ministries, and why it’s created such a tension for so many people. On one hand: restoration, forgiveness, and not turning discernment into a hobby. On the other hand: real accountability, real responsibility, and the damage thathappens when things get quietly handled “internally” while the platform keeps growing.   We unpack the difference between accountabilityvs responsibility, why leaders can get trapped in pressure-to-perform, and how the Western church sometimes elevates people into roles they were never meant to carry. Kimb brings in the idea of grace giftings (and what happens when the grace for a season shifts), and Josh shares why thissituation felt different than the usual “call-out culture,” especially when private attempts to address things go ignored.   This isn’t a pile-on episode. It’s a clarity episode. Because if the church wants credibility, we can’t keep sweeping things under the rug.   And we’d genuinely love to hear from you:did any of this surprise you, or did you see it coming?   Jointhe Discord channel and get into the conversation!https://discord.gg/NDtG3bUEbT   #ChurchLeadership, #Accountability,#Exposure, #Discernment, #GraceGifting, #ChristianCulture, #SpiritualAbuse,#Restoration, #Prophecy, #MarketMystics

  3. What Makes Us Human? The Spark AI Can’t Copy

    What Makes Us Human? The Spark AI Can’t Copy

    This episode is a big question with real-world weight: what actually makes us human… and why does it matter more now than ever?   Coming off our recent AI and leadership conversation, we zoom out and get honest about the parts of you that can’t beoutsourced, automated, or replicated. We talk about spirit, free will, emotion, and the “essence” that makes your voice your voice. Not in a cheesy way. In a “we better remember this while we still can” kind of way.   Josh brings in a powerful perspective about the humanexperience as distance: the space between joy and grief, longing and fulfillment, separation and connection. Kimb takes it further into the way time itself feels like a kind of distance… and how it’s part of what makes thislife sacred.   We also wrestle with a shift in how people talk about humanity like it’s a weakness or something to just endure… and flip that idea on its head. What if this is the glory? What if being human is the gift?   And we want to hear from you: what do youthink makes us uniquely human?   Jointhe Discord channel and get into the conversation!https://discord.gg/NDtG3bUEbT   #WhatMakesUsHuman, #MarketMystics,#AIandHumanity, #FreeWill, #TheHumanExperience, #Spirituality,#FaithAndCulture, #ConsciousLiving, #MysticalToPractical, #SeasonFive

  4. Leadership in the Age of AI: Stay Human, Use the Tool

    Leadership in the Age of AI: Stay Human, Use the Tool

    AI is everywhere now, which makes the realquestion way more personal: what does leadership look like when people can get “answers” instantly?   In this Monday episode, we talk about human leadership in an AI-shaped world. Not “AI as the leader” but what happens when people start outsourcing their thinking, their discernment, and even their voice. We get into humility (the rare kind), how leadership institutions can get stuck preaching what they don’t practice, and why the leaders who emerge next will be the ones who use AI as a tool, not a crutch.   Kimb shares a real-life example from HR and W-2 reporting, where AI helped build something she couldn’t do alone, but still required oversight, proofreading, and responsibility. Because that’s the line, isn’t it? Instruct, utilize, check. Tool, not throne.   We also talk about the human element AI can’t replace: grace, nuance, and actually knowing people. And yes… we gothere: can AI become a modern “golden calf” if we give it a position it was never meant to have?   If you’ve been feeling the tension betweenefficiency and humanity, this one will hit.   Jointhe Discord channel and get into the conversation!https://discord.gg/NDtG3bUEbT   #Leadership, #AI, #HumanityFirst,#CriticalThinking, #MarketMystics, #Discernment, #FutureOfWork, #Humility,#EthicalAI, #FaithAndCulture, #SeasonFive

  5. Crypto, Gold & The Signs of The Shift

    Crypto, Gold & The Signs of The Shift

    Sometimes the markets feel less like chartsand more like a pulse.   In this episode, we follow a conversation that wasn’t planned but felt necessary. Crypto showing signs of movement again.Gold and silver surging in ways that feel… notable. Rising costs of everyday life. Shifting value systems. And the bigger question underneath it all: what does it mean to watch change without being afraid of it?   We talk about crypto alongside precious metals, fiat currency, inflation, and real-world affordability, while also zooming out to the deeper themes of free will, awareness, and keeping our eyes on the horizon instead of getting blindsided by what’s coming next.   This isn’t a prediction episode. It’s a noticing episode. A conversation about patterns, pressure, and learning how tostay steady in the middle of accelerating change.   If you’ve felt like something is shiftingbut can’t quite name it yet, this one’s for you.   Jointhe Discord channel and get into the conversation!https://discord.gg/NDtG3bUEbT   #CryptoConversation, #GoldAndSilver,#MarketMystics, #CryptoAndCulture, #EconomicShifts, #DigitalCurrency,#WatchingTheHorizon, #MarketsAndMeaning, #FreeWill, #SeasonFive

    Choosing Humanity Daily: AI, Illusion of Choice, and the Power of Love Anyway

    What does it look like to stay human when everything around us is being shaped by algorithms? In this Season 5 kickoff, we’re talking about AI, influence, and the illusion of choice, but not in a theoretical way. This is about everyday life. Free will. Relationships. Responsibility. And the quiet, intentional decision to choose love anyway, even when division feels baked into the system. We’re also sharing why we’re tearing down some self-imposed boxes this season, loosening the structure, and letting conversations be more organic again. Less pressure. More honesty. More room for the mystical to show up in practical, lived ways. If you’ve felt the tension between technology and humanity, efficiency and meaning, structure and freedom, this season is for you.

    Simple Faith

    Kicking off 2026 with a simple question from Illy: where is heaven? We talk about why the kingdom shows up when we keep it small and close—feeding who’s hungry, sitting with who’s hurting, and being faithful with the little in front of us. If you’ve been chasing the big calling, maybe your next right step is your living room or your neighbor’s porch. Simple, present, and real.   Jointhe Discord channel and get into the conversation!https://discord.gg/NDtG3bUEbT   #SimpleGospel, #HeavenWithin, #KingdomLife,#LoveYourNeighbor, #FaithAndLife, #ChildlikeFaith, #SpiritualFormation,#NewYear2026, #MarketMystics, #Season4, #SonsOfGod, #Journey, #Christian, #YHVH,#Faith, #Podcast, #Mystic, #Spirituality, #DeconstructingFaith
