    79. The Book You Didn't Know You Know- The Book (s) of Enoch

    In April a congresswoman pinned "Read the book of Enoch" to the top of her feed, and a cable host told America the government made a deal with demons for the bomb. They're pointing at a real book. First Enoch is older than every document in the New Testament, quoted as prophecy by the letter of Jude, and read as scripture by the people who wrote the Gospels. It's where the Christian ideas of demons, a hell of fire, the archangel Michael with his chain, the seven archangels, Lucifer's fall from pride, and the Nephilim actually come from, and almost none of that is in the Bible you were handed in Sunday school.

    78. The Delta- How Can Men Actually Heal and How Can Women Be Safe? with Jeff Zacharski and Adam Pearce

    More of Jeff and Adams work on thedelta.men We all see how the manosphere profits off the loneliness, rage and misogyny of young men. There are 100 coaches a day you can scroll past telling a man how he can be a true "alpha dude bro". ICK. Profiting off pain and rage with no intention of actually helping. But there are men who are actually trying to help men heal, help them learn to build community and develop connection- what does that look like? What are those coaches seeing in men that needs to change? I brought in the coaches from the Delta to talk about exactly that. I have personal experience with them cause I've watched them transform my brothers life. Everybody in our world is hurting, we live in such an unnatural disconnected society. Can men heal enough that women can feel safe? Can there be common ground But what about the men who haven't gone to the manosphere but don't know where to go? Who actually want to do better and realize that something is missing? The world doesn't change until we do.

    77. Hope for the South with Representative Justin Pearson

    I firmly believe that the United States will only be as progressive as the south is. Tennessee is not as red as you think. The history of gerrymandering, the exploitation of the south, the control of super red majorities would have you believe that these "super red states" are a lost cause, they aren't. In this episode we will cover some of the suprising history of Tennesee as a state of change, and the hope for a better future with the candidate for congress in Tennessee district 9- Justin Pearson. Find out more about his campaign: https://www.votejustinj.com/
