Send us a text When we think of marriage, the term "Tie-the-Knot" is a widely popular phrase. It comes from an ancient Celtic tradition of handfasting- Where the hands are bound together, a representation of the two becoming one... But what happens when these knots become tangles...? We all know infidelity invites many problems... The ending of marriage vows, the jealousy, deception and ruination of promises made to so many... But somewhere in the affairs, the dishonesty and cunning nature is a ...

When researching a true-crime podcast, we often think of this quote by philosopher Frederich Nietzsche. We do our best to not gaze for too long, but only glance. What cried out to us about this case…or any case we cover? It’s not just about the crime, but how it impacts us as a society. The case we are going to discuss i...

Send us a text Every single human on the face of the Earth understands this simple word: NO. It is heard so often that it is one of the first words a young toddler will speak because of its commonality. This word "no" has power... it incites obedience...is a rebuff and has a 180-degree impact. We pray for guidance and clear paths set for us so that hearing "no" can give us comfort in a decision made... However, speaking "no" also has consequences. In some parts of the world, women die every day ...

Send us a text TRIGGER: This episode discusses child abuse and murder. There is a strong need for these kids to have a “forever home”. It takes a special type of person to be adoptive and foster parents. They are “godsends”. The good ones, that is. Our case today is not obviously about the good ones, but is about people who did not love, protect, or provide a safe place for a child that so needed it. It is also a case about a department that is overwhelmed, negligent and failed to do their job i...

But, sometimes, our children do not become what we envisioned or what we hoped for.

They are left heartbroken, ang...

It is putting your faith in someone or something that is good and honest, safe and reliable so that no harm comes to you or your loved ones.
