Going past the headline: “15,000 Nurses Strike.” Why are nurses striking? Is the the union actually bargaining for improved patient safety or patients before profits? Do these strikes address mandates & the poor treatment of unvaccinated nurses or is that an inaccurate assumption? Who is leading the union charge? We look at the union president. Did you know she was appointed to Biden’s COVID E...

Rita was asked to "Trust the plan," earlier this week. Well... what is THE plan, and why should we trust it?? Rita is trusting the plan... but not the one she was asked to trust. We also discuss the White House offering student loan relief. This episode was sponsored by Kaleidoscope Kids Bibles.

We start off by talking about journalists who employ "lazy journalism" by posting clickbait headlines with no actual substance. Rita talks through the post of one political commentator who is celebrating that "the tides are turning" with vaccine mandates and calling on all healthcare workers who lost their jobs to stand up, lawyer up and sue. You'll want to hear Rita's reaction. We then dived into...

+ Despite having the first vaccine mandate in the country, Houston Methodist Hospital is facing a staffing shortage crisis due to employees out with covid. + When they rolled out the vax mandate, it was to "protect patients and staff from infection and transmission." Now, they're saying it's to reduce severity, and they say that's what the purpose always was. + We compare the political brainwashin...

We sit down with Proverbs 31 Girl blogger Allie Lundeen to discuss: + The spiritual warfare that accompanied her family's battle with COVID and ultimately the policies that contributed to the loss of Allie's father + Allie's "controversial statement" of not putting their kids in sports. the backlash she faced, and the reason she and her husband chose that path + The journey to homeschool + Allie s...

While it may sound alarmist, the truth is that our kids are in digital danger. Whether it’s online predators, pornography, the new world of virtual reality and the upcoming metaverse, the comparison trap of social media, or the addiction of screen time, it’s our job as parents to see the problem and look for healthy solutions. In this episode, we talk to Anne Marie McDonald, the Chief Parent Offic...

This episode is like listening in on a phone call between Rita and Cecily as we catch up on life and family and talk about some of the things going on in the world: + 900 Dirt Bikes Being Bull-Dozed in New York + Abortion + A Little More Detail About Uvalde We go from laughing near the beginning to some pretty heavy stuff near the end, but make sure to focus our eyes on hope and peace in the midst...

Today we’re talking with our good friend, Shanda Fulbright of the Her Faith Inspires Podcast. We live in a noisy world, and sometimes it’s hard to have a podcast and add our conversation to a world that already feels saturated. We talked to Shanda about what it looks like to pursue wisdom, pursue truth and speak with discernment. We then discuss parenting: why does it seem like the conversation am...

Did you hear about the man arrested for plotting to kill Supreme Court Justice Kavinaugh? Wait until you hear WHY he sought to kill him. The trans movement is targeting our children, but most importantly adults who don’t agree are scared to speak out. While we do need to be focused on protecting our kids, our biggest focus needs to be raising them in such a way that they’ll be able to withstand th...

+ Cecily’s sister met a lady who flew from the US to Canada who says they were told to put on masks as soon as they entered Canadian air space... WHAT??? + We discuss morality - whether it’s subjective or objective and where it even comes from. + The bulk of the episode is built upon this concept of liberty never being free and rarely cheap... yet so many Canadians and Americans expect life to be...

The tragedy at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, has broken hearts and further shaken a population in turmoil. This is a delicate topic and we did our best to examine as many sides of it as we could. We discuss the actual event, the timeline, and the emergency response. We also discuss some of the proposed solutions, such as gun control, social emotional learning and secure classrooms. As w...

Today we’re interviewing Matt Shantz, the lead pastor of the church Cecily works at and attends, and the host of The Deep Thoughts Podcast. This conversation is about disagreement and division... which I think most of us have experienced over the past couple of years. What makes this conversation unique is that Cecily and Matt actually DO have some disagreements; this is precisely why we thought h...

CRT (critical race theory) and abortion are currently two big front of mind topics. Samuel Sey sits down to discuss these issues from a Biblical perspective. Samuel tells us his story of his upbringing and coming to Christ. We ask him what it means to be, “slow to write” and if he finds it a challenge to maintain that demeanor in a climate that rewards the first to comment on any given event or si...

In the first half of this episode, we talk about the Disinformation Governance Board... perhaps better known as The Ministry of Truth. ;) What does it mean to give control over what is true and false or right and wrong to a board of arbitrarily appointed people? We also talk about bill C-11 in Canada, which also has many reasons for us to be wary. At the back half of the episode, we interview Maso...

This may be one of the most (if not THE most) important episodes we’ve ever done. We chat with Elizabeth Lui who has been living in China for 17 years, the bulk of which has been in Shanghai. She walks us through the reality of what is happening right now in Shanghai and her words tell of a haunting humanitarian crisis while ringing a shrill warning bell. This is not an episode to be missed... we...

This is a hodgepodge episode. A mixed bag. Collage. Assortment. A patchwork, if you will. Now that I’ve gone through many of the synonyms for hodgepodge, let me give you a run-down of what we talk about. We start off by talking about Elon Musk, his attempted takeover of twitter, the public response, transhumanism and the saviour complex people tend to develop when it comes to the elites of the wor...

We’re talking about what matters most in this episode. Keep your eyes UP. Be on the lookout because the well-beaten path is not necessarily the best path, and deceit... and self-deceit are rampant in our current day. https://www.instagram.com/ritarogersco/ https://www.instagram.com/cecily.dickey/

RaDonda Vaught, a Vanderbilt nurse, made a fatal med error. She has now lost her license and been charged with negligent homicide. But the story doesn’t end there. Kati Kleber of FreshRN.com and I discuss the timeline, the charges and answer the question: “could this happen to anyone?”.  We also discuss very interesting “politics” of the case. Who is the DA and what is his affiliation to Vanderbil...

In this episode, we have a fascinating discussion with Lizzie Bolliger regarding Twilight Sleep. Twilight Sleep may be about ”birth,” but this episode is for EVERYONE as we touch on eugenics and the history behind ”why” we do things in the medical world. We hope this episode stirs thought about how evidence of past medical mistakes should make us vigilant of the mistakes that could be happening in...

Today, we’re re-playing what the majority of you are calling you’re favourite episode of the first year of The Boom Clap Podcast. That episode just so happens to be the very first one released, all about VALUES. We love that you loved this one because it is the WHY behind why we started the podcast, it’s the foundation of our podcast... and if we’ve got our priorities straight, our values are what...

Beware of normal. What even is ”normal?” Well, it seems that the past weeks have brought a reprieve from masking and mandates, and we’re getting a taste of what life was like pre-2020. We should be celebrating, right? Or, perhaps, now is not the time to grow complacent. Perhaps now is the time to look at ”normal” with a degree of skepticism and wisdom, and to instead intentionally pursue truth and...
