Episode 1 of series on The Economy of Distraction
The Art of Attention

Where Your Attention Goes: Learning, Distraction, and the Power to Choose

Summary

The Economy of Distraction
The episode opens a new four-part series about the art of paying attention, beginning with what the host calls the economy of distraction. She asks listeners to consider where their attention goes each day and whether that direction is consciously chosen. Phones, notifications, email, social media, advertising, entertainment, and the broader digital environment are presented as powerful competitors for human attention. The host does not portray technology as inherently good or bad; instead, she emphasizes the responsibility involved in deciding how it is used. Her central concern is that people can become passive consumers of whatever captures them rather than active creators of the lives they want to build.

Attention, Noticing, and the Brain
A cafe observation becomes a central illustration when the host notices a child absorbed in watching an ant carry a crumb while nearby adults remain focused on their phones. She uses the moment to distinguish looking from truly noticing and connects that distinction to learning. In her framing, the brain filters experience according to what a person repeatedly identifies as important, which means patterns of attention can shape what is noticed over time. She also warns that repeatedly seeking negative or frightening material can make those patterns increasingly dominant in one's experience. The episode therefore treats awareness as the first step toward changing where attention goes.

Children, Schools, and Interrupted Learning
Drawing on her classroom experience, the host argues that children are not becoming less intelligent but are growing up in an environment with more frequent interruptions. She contrasts her own school experience of sustained concentration with contemporary learning environments filled with devices, messages, pop-ups, and other disruptions. She says that when she works with children, she prefers to begin with books and conversation before moving into technology and research. In her view, constant interruption can make sustained attention harder and can influence memory and learning. She also questions how much choice children are given over where their attention is directed within timetable-driven education.

Reconnection Through Nature and Embodied Experience
The host says she has seen children's curiosity and attention expand when they leave the classroom, spend time in nature, build things with their hands, explore questions together, or slow the pace of an activity. This leads her to suggest that disconnection, rather than distraction alone, may be the deeper opposite of attention. She specifically names disconnection from nature and disconnection from self as factors she believes can affect learning. The episode repeatedly encourages listeners to return to bodily awareness, sensory experience, and the present moment. Nature is offered as a model of focused responsiveness because animals and natural processes appear to act according to what is needed in the moment rather than in a state of continual rushing.

Technology, Personal Agency, and Inner State
The host acknowledges that digital technology has enabled global communication, collaboration, and access to knowledge that she deeply values. At the same time, she describes her own decision to leave social media and reduce passive entertainment after realizing how many hours of attention those activities could consume. She connects deliberate attention with productivity, health choices, emotional state, spirituality, and her personal belief that protecting her energetic state or "frequency" affects how she experiences and creates her life. She describes morning practices such as grounding, gratitude, going outside, and speaking intentions aloud. Throughout this discussion, these ideas are presented as her personal observations and lived perspective rather than as universally established conclusions.

A Ten-Minute Practice in Paying Attention
The episode closes with an embodied exercise and a practical weekly experiment. Listeners are invited to notice their breathing, recall how their bodies respond to feeling rushed, and compare that response with the physical feeling of being deeply absorbed in something they love. The host encourages people to observe whether their bodies seem to expand or contract around particular experiences and to use that awareness as a prompt for reflection. Her weekly micro-practice is to leave the phone indoors, spend ten quiet minutes outside, and notice sounds, smells, colors, insects, birds, and bodily sensations. She leaves listeners with the question, "Where is my attention going?" and the idea that whatever receives sustained attention is where life quietly begins to grow.

Ep240 How To Have Gods Life Living In You Part 138: Persecution, Propaganda, Biblical Judgment, and the Call to Stand Firm
Pastor Tony Alamo presents Program 240 of How to Have God’s Life Living in You, Part 138, reflecting on what he describes as decades of persecution, media propaganda, government and religious corruption, biblical standards of judgment, last-days warnings from 2 Timothy 3, ministry work, personal accusations, salvation through Jesus Christ, and the need for believers to remain faithful under pressure.

Biblical Judgment and the Theme of Persecution

This episode is identified as Program 240 of How to Have God’s Life Living in You, Part 138, with Pastor Tony Alamo as the principal speaker and Sharon reading selected passages and closing information. Alamo opens by saying the program will revisit past persecutions experienced by his church. He argues that believers should not judge by personal opinion, but may evaluate people and events through what he understands to be the standards of the Bible.

Claims About Rome, the Vatican, Government, and the Media

A large portion of the sermon is devoted to Alamo’s claims about the Vatican, Rome, presidents, government agencies, media organizations, and what he calls an Antichrist world system. He describes Rome as the biblical city of seven hills and portrays the Vatican as the directing force behind political corruption, war, propaganda, anti-Christian activity, and attacks on Jews. He also makes sweeping accusations involving former presidents, public officials, historical figures, and major events. These claims are presented throughout as Alamo’s interpretation and allegations, not as established history or verified reporting.

Personal Accusations, Imprisonment, and Alamo’s Defense

Alamo repeatedly returns to accusations made against him and his ministry. He says he was imprisoned and taken to court on false charges, denied opportunities to present his side publicly, and portrayed by television programs, newspapers, government officials, and anti-cult organizations as dangerous. He compares his experiences with the imprisonment and persecution of biblical prophets and apostles. He also discusses allegations involving child abuse, kidnapping, threats against officials, tax matters, his legal name, his wife Susan Alamo’s funeral and remains, and other claims, offering his own explanations and denials.

Propaganda, Public Opinion, and Religious Conflict

The sermon argues that propaganda is used to prepare the public to accept the destruction of a person, church, or nation. Alamo says repeated accusations shape public opinion before legal or governmental action is taken. He connects this argument to media reports about himself, Saddam Hussein, political leaders, Waco, Oklahoma City, the World Trade Center, and other events. The sermon also includes harsh condemnations of Roman Catholicism, homosexuality, abortion, government policy, specific churches, and people he views as false accusers. For publication, these statements require strong attribution because they include inflammatory language, conspiracy claims, and allegations against identifiable groups and individuals.

Ministry Work, Charity, and Church Disputes

Alamo contrasts the accusations against him with his description of the ministry’s charitable work. He says the church fed, clothed, housed, educated, and supported people, provided meals, helped churches overseas, supplied food, water, bathrooms, and electricity, and contributed money to community projects. He also recounts disputes involving daycare licensing, labor rules, local Arkansas churches, city officials, tax agencies, and church flyers criticizing him. He presents these conflicts as examples of religious persecution and as efforts to discredit a ministry he says was serving people and preaching the gospel.

2 Timothy 3 and the Last-Days Warning

After a music break, the program turns to 2 Timothy 3, where Sharon reads that perilous times will come and that people will become lovers of themselves, proud, unholy, and false accusers. Alamo interprets these verses as directly relevant to his experiences and to the conduct of modern society, government, religious institutions, and his critics. He argues that self-love prevents people from taking up the cross, serving others, or accepting difficult ministry work. He also discusses missionary and charitable efforts in Africa as an example of sacrifice, while warning about people he says exploited religious aid for personal gain.

Salvation, Prayer, and the Closing Appeal

The program concludes with Alamo affirming Jesus as the way, the truth, the life, and the Word of God. He prays that listeners will understand the Bible, resist false accusations and spiritual deception, and remain strong under persecution. He then gives a salvation prayer for listeners who want to receive Christ, asking them to confess sin, believe in Jesus’ death and resurrection, and invite Him into their hearts. Sharon provides ministry contact information, and the episode closes with a recording of “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms.”

Behind the Finish Line: Equine Medicine, Racing Legends, and the Healing Power of Old Friends

Summary

The Healing Power of Old Friends
The episode opens with the host promoting Tony's Steak & Seafood and two charitable causes, No Fallen Heroes and Old Friends. The host and guest describe Old Friends not only as a retirement home for notable racehorses but also as a place that can have a powerful emotional effect on visitors and volunteers. Both men recount how time spent around retired horses can help people decompress and recover from difficult periods in their lives. Game On Dude, Silver Charm, Lava Man, and other famous horses are discussed as examples of the personal connections people develop with equine athletes. The guest says the farm became a kind of personal refuge for him, while the host describes how visits there helped him through a difficult period. They also credit the people behind Old Friends with creating an atmosphere of kindness, acceptance, and respect for both horses and visitors.

The People and Stories Behind Horse Racing
A major theme of the conversation is that horse racing's strength comes from its stories and from the people who work behind the scenes. The guest praises grooms, farm workers, night-watch staff, veterinary technicians, and other workers whose lives revolve around caring for horses that often belong to someone else. He remembers the camaraderie of the racetrack backside and the remarkable stories told by veteran horsemen. The host recalls an older Churchill Downs groom known as Mr. Bones, who could tell stories about horses and Kentucky Derby history for hours. Both speakers argue that racing could attract more people by telling these human stories rather than focusing only on races and wagering. They present the backside culture as hardworking, diverse, humorous, and deeply connected to the horses.

Bardstown, Kentucky Roots and a Career in Equine Medicine
The guest traces his connection to horses back to Bardstown, Kentucky, where he grew up near My Old Kentucky Home and the Talbott Tavern. He remembers his mother's long career at a drugstore near the tavern, his uncle's involvement with racehorses, and his own early exposure to stalls, hot walkers, and farm work. He later attended the University of Kentucky and found a summer job in an animal pathology and blood-typing laboratory before modern DNA parentage testing became standard. He explains how blood types and inherited markers were once used to evaluate parentage in horses. That experience helped move him toward veterinary medicine and eventually a career that included hospital practice, university work, racing regulation, and international equine assignments. The discussion illustrates how a childhood connection to Kentucky horse culture grew into a lifetime devoted to equine medicine.

Breeding, Foaling, and the Work Behind a Thoroughbred
The program spends substantial time explaining what happens before a Thoroughbred ever reaches a racetrack. The speakers discuss live-cover breeding, stallion books, pedigree selection, broodmares, foaling, night-watch crews, and the importance of early handling. The guest describes how quickly a normal foaling should progress and why delayed or abnormal delivery can threaten a foal's oxygen supply. He explains the role of farm staff and veterinarians in recognizing dystocia, helping newborn foals stand and nurse, and monitoring the mare after delivery. The conversation also covers imprinting and the practical value of getting foals accustomed to having their legs, ears, feet, and bodies handled. Throughout this section, the speakers emphasize that the glamorous public image of racing rests on a large amount of specialized work that most spectators never see.

War Emblem, Charismatic, and American Pharoah
Several famous racehorses anchor the episode's most memorable stories. The guest identifies Charismatic as the horse who most took his breath away and recounts the Belmont injury, Chris Antley's effort to support the injured leg, the horse's surgical repair, and Charismatic's later return from Japan. War Emblem is remembered as highly intelligent, difficult, and famously reluctant to breed, a behavior that created a complicated quarantine problem when he returned from Japan. The guest describes assembling a veterinary team to castrate War Emblem so the horse could ultimately live normally at Old Friends. Later, both speakers share personal memories of American Pharoah's historic races, souvenir tickets, clothing, track dirt, garland flowers, and the feeling of witnessing a once-in-a-lifetime champion. These anecdotes reinforce the episode's broader idea that racing is remembered through emotional stories as much as through statistics.

Veterinary Progress, Technology, and Racing's Future
The final portion of the interview focuses on the extraordinary growth of equine veterinary medicine. The guest contrasts early film X-rays and large, primitive ultrasound machines with modern digital radiography, portable ultrasound, CT scans, MRI, and other advanced diagnostics. The speakers discuss the evolution of colic surgery and the improved ability of horses to return to useful or athletic lives after major procedures. They also explore wearable training devices that can collect heart-rate, recovery, movement, and GPS information and potentially reveal patterns associated with injury risk. The host argues that the public often hears about catastrophic injuries without seeing the continuous veterinary research and preventive work happening behind the scenes. The episode closes by returning to Old Friends, Silver Charm's longevity, Japanese equine research and aftercare, and the shared belief that being close to horses can enrich people's lives.

Ep239 How To Have Gods Life Living In You Part 137: Born Again in the Spirit: Revelation 17, Spiritual Warfare, and the Blood of Jesus
Pastor Tony Alamo presents Program 239 of How to Have God’s Life Living in You, Part 137, recounting his claimed conversion experience, warning against spiritual pride and propaganda, teaching from Revelation 17 and Romans 8, describing spiritual warfare against what he identifies as an Antichrist world system, remembering Susie Alamo, and calling listeners to salvation through Jesus Christ.

A Claimed Conversion and Call to Preach

This episode is identified as Program 239 of How to Have God’s Life Living in You, Part 137, with Pastor Tony Alamo as the primary speaker, Sharon reading scripture and providing closing information, and musical performances preserved as cues. The transcript notes that historical and political claims are retained as speaker claims rather than independently verified facts. Alamo begins by recounting what he describes as a sudden supernatural encounter with God while working in entertainment and promotion. He says he was commanded to tell those around him that Jesus Christ would return and that he initially resisted because he did not know the Bible or understand Christianity.

Repentance, Propaganda, and the Last Days

Alamo says he remembered the word “repent” from the film Elmer Gantry and began urging people in the room to repent. He contrasts his former career in promotion and advertising with what he came to regard as a divine assignment to promote the gospel. He interprets disasters, pestilence, social changes, and world events as signs of divine wrath and the last days. He also repeatedly uses the idea of propaganda to explain how people can be persuaded to reject scripture, accept sin, and oppose what he considers true Christianity.

Spiritual Warfare and God Living Within Believers

The sermon emphasizes that Christian warfare is not physical but spiritual. Alamo says believers who are born again have the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit living within them and therefore possess spiritual power through the Word of God. Drawing from biblical language about pulling down strongholds and bringing thoughts into obedience to Christ, he argues that Christians must oppose teachings, institutions, and cultural practices that contradict his interpretation of scripture. He connects this spiritual warfare to questions of creation, morality, government, abortion, sexuality, euthanasia, and war.

Jesus Christ, Sin, and the Blood of Salvation

Alamo teaches that Jesus is the only means by which sin can be removed from the soul. He describes Christ as God in the flesh, emphasizes His willing death on the cross, and says His blood is the only spiritual cleansing capable of preparing a person for heaven. He contrasts the Kingdom of Heaven with hell and repeatedly urges listeners to become born again. He also identifies fulfilled biblical prophecy, Christ’s suffering, betrayal, crucifixion, and resurrection as central evidence for his message.

Revelation 17 and Alamo’s Antichrist Interpretation

A major portion of the sermon is devoted to Alamo’s interpretation of Revelation 17. As Sharon reads the passage about the woman seated on the scarlet beast, Alamo identifies the woman, Mystery Babylon, and the “great whore” with the Roman Catholic Church and identifies the beast with world government. He connects the imagery of seven hills, scarlet and purple clothing, gold, political rulers, and spiritual fornication to Rome and the Vatican. These are Alamo’s theological and conspiratorial interpretations and are not presented in the transcript as independently established conclusions.

Susie Alamo, Music, and Ministry Memory

Alamo pauses to remember his late wife, Susie Alamo, whom he describes as exceptionally intelligent, godly, and important to the ministry. He recalls recording with J.D. Sumner and the Stamps Quartet and introduces Susie’s performance of “His Robe of Calvary.” Following the music cue, he returns to his argument that institutions first use propaganda to discredit the Bible and influence public opinion before persecuting believers. The sermon also includes anecdotes involving entertainment figures, publishing, media, politics, and his own claimed experiences of betrayal and imprisonment.

Romans 8, Salvation Prayer,

The closing portion connects Alamo’s message with Romans 8, particularly the teaching that there is no condemnation for those who walk according to the Spirit. He says salvation requires accepting Jesus Christ and the complete Word of God, then leads listeners in a prayer confessing sin, affirming Christ’s death and resurrection, and inviting Jesus into the heart. Sharon provides four ways to obtain a free copy of Program 239. Alamo ends by encouraging believers that the Lord will stand with them when life becomes difficult and introduces the closing song “Stand By Me.”

The Saga Continues

Election Claims, Cultural Conflict, and a Call to Biblical Action

Summary

Minnesota Election Results and Fraud Allegations
The host centers much of the episode on Minnesota politics and repeatedly alleges that recent election results were fraudulent. He discusses Lisa DeMuth, Peggy Flanagan, Ilhan Omar, Amy Klobuchar, Keith Ellison, and other political figures, often arguing that the public did not genuinely choose the candidates who prevailed. He also cites state financial figures and accuses political leaders of participating in or benefiting from large-scale fraud, while presenting those allegations as his own conclusions. Throughout this discussion, he criticizes both Democratic and Republican establishments and argues that political accountability and prosecution are necessary. The episode treats election integrity as part of a broader struggle over government legitimacy and public responsibility.

Mike Lindell Clip and Election Numbers
The host introduces a prerecorded clip of Mike Lindell discussing election results and polling numbers. In the clip, Lindell refers to polling percentages, a sudden block of 36,000 votes, 6,000 votes attributed to him, and data connected to Edison Research, while saying that certain numbers do not make sense to him. Lindell says he is not yet claiming that something improper happened and that the numbers will be checked before a fuller report is issued. The host interprets the media description of Lindell as "defiant" as an example of people being criticized for questioning election outcomes. He then argues that challenges to election administration should be treated as demands for truth and accountability rather than automatically characterized as attacks on constitutional government.

Caller Discussion, Discouragement, and Civic Action
Caller Margie says the election results were disheartening and defends Mike Lindell against accusations that he was simply a sore loser. She discusses his relationship with Donald Trump, his position on homeschooling, and her concern about the political direction of Minnesota. The host responds by urging persistence, saying people must remain steadfast and should not become weary or surrender to political discouragement. Margie also describes a city-council-related conversation in which a local adviser said he would watch for a volunteer position for her, which she interprets as a positive sign. The host uses the exchange to emphasize action, service, and being "doers of the word" rather than merely passive listeners.

Immigration, Islam, Media Attention, and Cultural Conflict
A major portion of the episode presents the host's strongly negative views about Muslim immigration, Islamic political influence, Sharia law, and the media's treatment of Muslim political candidates. He argues that certain immigrants are not assimilating and portrays political and religious developments in Minnesota, Michigan, Texas, Dearborn, and other locations as evidence of a larger effort to gain power. He plays or references clips involving Abdul El-Sayed and a woman identified as Jessica Holsey, and he reads or paraphrases several Quran passages to support his interpretation of Islam. The host also attributes quotations to Muslim political and religious figures and cites mosque-growth statistics, while none of those claims are independently verified within the transcript. His language is frequently condemnatory and includes broad claims about Muslims, Zionists, transgender issues, and political figures that remain the speaker's expressed views rather than established facts.

Christian Worldview, Scripture, and Historical Framing
The program repeatedly grounds its political arguments in a Christian biblical worldview. The opening material includes a religious historical quotation, a statement about the Christian ethic and American government, and references to figures such as William Booth, Andrew Jackson, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Harry S. Truman. The host invokes scripture while discussing political responsibility, perseverance, citizenship, national judgment, and what he sees as the moral obligations of Americans. Later, he compares people who say they are "just doing their job" with a crucifixion-themed meme and uses the image to argue against passive compliance with wrongdoing. The episode closes with biblical language about covenant, judgment, God's sovereignty, and the consequences of what a society tolerates.

Promotions, Events, Church Messages, and Network Information
The episode includes repeated promotional and station segments that were preserved because they appear to be part of the recording. The host promotes an August 14 event connected with KHNC in Johnstown, Colorado, where he says he will be the main speaker, although portions of the event address and Jason's phone description are unclear. Prerecorded material promotes the Content Media Conference, financial support for the program, Sunday church services, Wisconsin Christian News, Liberty Sentinel, community event bookings, and BBS Radio TV. Testimonials from Tom Raymond and Lisa Mead praise the host's Christian ministry and church teaching. The BBS Radio TV promotion describes the network's history, international distribution, on-demand syndication, production volume, and the work of Douglas and Donald Newsom.
