Chef Shuai Wang was the runner-up on the 22nd season of Bravo’s Top Chef and is the force behind two standout restaurants in Charleston, South Carolina—Jackrabbit Filly and King BBQ—where he brings together the flavors of his childhood in Beijing and the spirit of the South in some pretty unforgettable ways. He grew up just a short walk from Tiananmen Square, in a tiny home with no electricity or running water, where his grandmother often cooked over charcoal. Later, in Queens, New York, his mom taught herself to cook—her first dishes were a little salty, but they were always made with love. And somewhere along the way, Shuai learned that cooking wasn’t just about food—it was about taking care of people. After years working in New York kitchens, he made his way to Charleston and started building something that feels entirely his own. Today, we’re talking about how all those experiences come together on the plate, the family stories behind his cooking, and what it’s been like to share that journey on national TV.

In this episode of Almost Awakened, Bill and Teresa explore the transformative shift from external obedience to internal integrity. What happens when we stop living by someone else’s rules and start listening to our own inner voice? The conversation dives into the psychology of control, the cost of compliance, and the courage it takes to choose authenticity. With humor, vulnerability, and practical insight, they unpack how we were conditioned to equate obedience with virtue—and how reclaiming our autonomy is the path to real wholeness. If you’ve ever felt like your strings no longer fit, this one’s for you. [Almost Awakened: 192] Help support Bill Reel & Teresa Hobbs in creating Awakened Resources and Content

Why You Can’t Sit Still: Mindfulness, Trauma, and the Nervous System 46:06

2 days ago46:06

46:06

In this episode of the Almost Awakened Podcast, Bill Reel and Teresa Hobbs explore why stillness can feel so uncomfortable, especially for those recovering from religious trauma, chronic stress, and nervous system dysregulation. Teresa shares a powerful moment between them as a couple when a simple request for soothing touch opened the door to a deeper mindfulness and somatic tracking practice. Together, they talk about why so many of us are constantly moving, fixing, distracting, or bracing… and how mindfulness can help us gently be with our sensations rather than run from them. They discuss: The science behind mindfulness and why it heals. How early life stress and religious programming affect the nervous system. What it means to separate the “story” from the “sensation”. How mindfulness can repattern trauma responses and support nervous system regulation. Mindfulness as a form of re-parenting and building secure attachment. This episode is raw, vulnerable, and full of practical insight, especially for post-Mormons, ex-vangelicals, or anyone rebuilding safety in their body and relationships after trauma. Teresa’s blog post on mindfulness: https://www.monarchintegrativecoaching.com/post/rewiring-for-connection-how-trauma-informed-mindfulness-rebuilds-the-inner-architecture-of-safety Book on Trauma Sensitive Mindfulness: https://a.co/d/4tXisU2 Interested in trauma-informed coaching or somatic healing?

Predatory Techniques of Mormonism’s Prophet Joseph Smith 2:45:04

2 days ago2:45:04

2:45:04

What If the Prophet You Trust Showed Signs You’d Warn Your Children About? We often teach our children how to recognize red flags—signs that someone might not have good intentions. But what happens when those same behaviors show up in the life of someone we revere as a prophet? In this eye-opening episode, we explore the established patterns and techniques used by predators—behaviors like isolating individuals, using spiritual authority, giving gifts, and creating undue emotional dependence. Then we take a close, respectful look at the life of Joseph Smith to see if these patterns emerge. This isn’t about attacking faith. It’s about asking hard, faithful questions in pursuit of truth—because if our beliefs are true, they can withstand scrutiny. And if they aren’t, shouldn’t we want to know? If you’ve ever felt something didn’t quite sit right with certain stories in Church history, you’re not alone. Let’s explore this with clarity, compassion, and a commitment to truth. #JosephSmith #MormonHistory #GroomingAwareness #LDSTruthSeekers #MormonFaithCrisis #LDS #latterdaysaints The post Predatory Techniques of Mormonism’s Prophet Joseph Smith appeared first on Mormon Discussions Podcasts - Full Lineup .…

What happens when a U.S. senator’s politics start clashing with his religion? In this explosive episode of Mormon Newscast, we unpack the controversy surrounding Senator Mike Lee’s latest moves and the growing tension between LDS teachings and far-right ideology. Has Mike Lee become a liability for the Church—or is he just saying the quiet part out loud? We also cover: The IRS quietly gives churches the green light to endorse political candidates—what this means for the LDS Church. Elder Dallin H. Oaks mentions Heavenly Mother—but not in the way you’d expect. A new twist in the Jacksonville Temple drama you won’t want to miss. Buckle up—this week’s news hits hard and asks the questions the Church won’t.

Defenders of the Book of Mormon point to the war chapters as evidence of its truth. Tonight, Radio Free Mormon reviews five important aspects of the war chapters and comes to a decidedly different conclusion. The war chapters, far from vindicating the truth of the book of Mormon, end up being the book of Mormon’s final Waterloo!

Requiem for an Apostate: RFM: 407 4:06:18

4:06:18

He Was Too Honest About Mormon Scripture—So They Made Him Pay! David P. Wright, a brilliant scholar of the Hebrew Bible, once taught at BYU—until his academic integrity put him at odds with LDS orthodoxy. In 1989, he was fired for holding views deemed incompatible with Church doctrine. But the campaign against him didn’t stop there. After securing a position at Brandeis University, a General Authority issued instructions to excommunicate him—all triggered by a scholarly paper showing literary parallels between the Book of Mormon and the New Testament. In this episode, RFM walks you through the evidence—Wright’s own words, the paper that sparked the backlash, and the Church’s behind-the-scenes moves to silence him. This is the story they didn’t want you to know. The post Requiem for an Apostate: RFM: 407 appeared first on Mormon Discussions Podcasts - Full Lineup .…

Something major just happened to the LDS Church in one of the world’s most powerful—and most tightly controlled—nations. A quiet move by a foreign government has suddenly upended worship for hundreds of members and raised serious questions about the future of the Church in a place it’s long tried to operate under the radar. Why now? Why there? And what does this mean for the Church’s global growth strategy? Let’s just say… not everyone is gathering for Sunday meetings this week. Tune in for the full story, the hidden dynamics behind the headlines, and why this development may signal more trouble ahead. Subscribe and join us—because this one isn’t just about local policy.

Joseph Smith: The Man Behind Mormonism 2:47:15

21 days ago2:47:15

2:47:15

Who really was Joseph Smith? When one peels back the layers of legend and legacy to explore the life of Mormonism’s controversial founder, a far more complex and human figure emerges—part visionary, part rebel, and entirely unlike the sanitized version told in Sunday School. From buried golden plates and seer stones to secret plural marriages and clashes with the law, this conversation reveals the man behind the movement. Was he a prophet inspired by God—or a charismatic charlatan driven by ambition? Whether you’re a faithful Latter-day Saint, a curious seeker, or someone wrestling with LDS beliefs, this episode offers a compelling, eye-opening look at the man who started it all—and it just might change the way you see Mormonism forever.

Quarterback Jake Retzlaff Sacked by BYU? 1:39:47

1:39:47

This week on the Mormon Newscast, BYU’s starting quarterback is back in the spotlight—but this time, it’s not for what’s happening on the field. With serious legal allegations and academic questions piling up, the playbook in Provo is getting complicated. Is this a career-ending fumble or just a temporary timeout? We break down the latest developments, the unexpected moves behind the scenes, and why this story could go into overtime. Buckle up—this game is far from over, and it may only be halftime. Another Cougar QB is bucking tradition. He’s headed out—but not for the typical two-year mission. He’s doing it in just one. What’s behind this shortened service? Is it the right move for the LDS Church and how might it affect others called to serve? We’ll break down how this fits (or doesn’t) with Mormon cultural expectations. And on the social media front: fresh evidence suggests the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter‑day Saints is secretly paying influencers to promote the faith. We’ll show you the leaked marketing playbook—and share what’s stirring debate in Mormon communities and on social media.
