Rev. Dean Nelson - Response to John Kirby and Defense Department policy on abortion Aug 03, 2023

Show notes

When asked about the Department of Defense policy on abortion being critical to military readiness on July 17th, John Kirby, State Department spokesman, said taxpayer-funded abortion travel for service members is "the right darn thing to do" and part of a "sacred obligation" to them. Rev. Dean Nelson, VP of Government Relations for Human Coalition, is part of a grassroots effort to overturn the new Defense Department policy on abortion. He can speak to how this is not about "military readiness” and tramples on the conscience rights of millions of taxpayers opposed to abortion.

Sheridan Taylor - a Combat Veteran, former Corrections Officer, and Suicide Survivor Aug 01, 2023

Show notes

Hello, my name is Sheridan Taylor. I’m a combat veteran, former corrections officer, and suicide survivor. I write and speak about mental health and addiction, the stigma of mental illness, and how to reduce the harm they do to us as individuals and as a society. I’m not a soldier anymore, but I’m still a fighter. I fight alcoholism, PTSD, depression and anxiety and win, daily. I fought grief and loss when my first wife died a slow death because her demons took her. I fought suicidal ideation. I fight the apathy and casual brutality so prevalent in our culture. I live in beautiful southern Alberta in the foothills of the beautiful Rockies with my beautiful wife, their two beautiful sons, beautiful Border Collies, and horrid Lhasa Apso. I'm quite happy to be done writing this book so I can start reading books written by other people again. It’s way easier!
In Not Okay? Okay. combat veteran and suicide survivor Sheridan Taylor chronicles the anguish and rage he experienced in the darkest depths of despair, and he shares the process and triumph of fighting his way out. After a lifetime enduring pain and discovering love, Sheridan shares his unique perspective on the power of hope and how to heal the mental health crisis plaguing our world. This is a book about how an insecure, overcompensating, professional tough guy stopped hating the world—and stopped hating himself in the process. This is a challenging book because it tells truths that may challenge what you believe. If you or someone you love struggles with mental health, it is the book for you.

Jon Katz - Transforming who you are by Transforming what you do Aug 01, 2023

Show notes

In late 2020 I went through a horrendous breakup. This breakup, compounded with the weight of an unstable childhood, decades of poor decision-making, poor relationship choices and poor habits, left me obese, anxious, depressed and suicidal at the age of 34.
That was two years ago. Since then, I have turned my life around in every conceivable way and now coach others on how to step back from the path of negativity, poor health, hopelessness, worthlessness, fear and suicide.
It is now my life's mission to help folks out of the pit of suicidality, anxiety, depression, repression and denial and take back their lives.

Additionally, senior national correspondent Brian Entin will provide reporting on how crime is impacting even smaller communities like Little Rock, Arkansas.
