Generational Reflections Gen X refers to those born between 1965 and 1980—a generation often underrepresented in broader discussions. Cameron, a proud Gen Xer, shares his personal journey from humble beginnings to success as an author, podcaster, and editor, among other ventures.

We also touched on the emerging influence of Gen Z as they approach middle age and begin stepping into leadership roles. Cameron raised concerns about key entitlement programs—namely Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security—as well as topics like universal healthcare. While he offered thoughtful solutions to these national challenges, I’ll leave those for him to share in his own voice.

Our conversation drifted into nostalgia as we recalled our separate but parallel experiences living in California. Though we lived there in different eras, many of the same core issues still echo through the state’s story today.

                         Healing Hidden Bruises

Arlene Lehmann joins us as an extraordinary guest on Coffee-Time-Again. A survivor of nearly every form of abuse—physical, emotional, sexual, medical, and familial—Arlene has spent decades on a courageous journey of healing. Her book, Healing Hidden Bruises, is both a testament to that journey and a beacon of hope for others.

In our conversation, Arlene openly shares the painful realities of her past, beginning with the onset of abuse in a major city in the western United States. While I’ve chosen not to name the city, Arlene does so in her own words. Her willingness to speak candidly about her experiences—and the long, difficult process of recovery—offers deep insight into the resilience of the human spirit.

She discusses why it took so long to leave a violent relationship, and how she eventually found the strength to break free and begin healing. Her story is raw, honest, and deeply moving.

                                     Shoulder-2-Shoulder

Shoulder to Shoulder is a volunteer-driven 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to alleviating hunger among underprivileged populations in Zambia. The organization operates through a network of churches to distribute food, while maintaining minimal overhead costs. Additionally, it supports community development initiatives such as water well drilling and agricultural training, all guided by biblical principles of sharing surplus resources with those in need.

The organization provides sustenance to approximately 25,000-30,000 individuals in Zambia by collaborating with 125 churches, ensuring that nearly all donations directly support the mission with zero overhead costs in the United States. Recently, Shoulder to Shoulder procured $145,000 worth of corn to be distributed monthly over the course of a year, thereby increasing meal frequency for families.

The mission of Shoulder to Shoulder is rooted in biblical teachings, particularly 2 Corinthians 8:13-14, which emphasizes the sharing of resources between communities with surplus and those in deficit. This principle aligns with the organization's goal of providing daily sustenance.

In addition to food distribution, the organization has successfully drilled 25-30 water wells and offers agricultural training through partnerships such as the Zambia Iowa Agricultural Partnership. An upcoming trip to Zambia will include meetings with pastors, inventory checks, preaching, and efforts to enhance dietary protein intake, in collaboration with agronomist Dr. Curtis Youngs.

The organization is supported by approximately 140 donors, including monthly contributors who cover distribution costs and larger donors who fund seasonal agricultural needs. Shoulder to Shoulder originated from family mission trips and chose Zambia as its focus due to the country's high hunger index and suitability for their work.

Corruption and the World

        First let us define Corruption in 2025. I have three quotes from the dictionary.

 a departure from the original or from what is pure or correct

 inducement to wrong by improper or unlawful means (such as bribery)

 dishonest or illegal behavior especially by powerful people (such as government officials or police officers)

That is the real definition of Corruption, now what does it mean. It means a change from what is morally right to what is wrong even if it is legal, however it is mostly illegal and causes disruption to the fabric of the Governments, business, and family units.

What are the steps of stopping corruption. Investing in fair compensation. Better training at all levels.  It empowers employees and builds a stronger staff. When employees feel honored, respected. They are much less inclined to fall into the trap of corruption.  Transparency and accountability make a significant change in your organization.

The Last Pope?

        Is the name of the book, now what does it mean? I will only say it involves Pope Leo IX and Pope Frances! Dr. Bob Thiel is well versed in the prophecies of Christianity, Hebrews, Muslims, Hindus, plus several others as well. He knows the bible very well. Dr. Bob is well educated and knows what he is talking about. This is his second visit to the show. It will not be his last one for sure. He attends church so that is a good sign that he is not just saying this it based on the prophecies of a priest in the 1700’s, named Malachi. Not sure of the spelling. You can reach Dr. Bob at his website here, https://cogwriter.com/. Email is [email protected].

Medicine with Dr. Wayne

Dr. Wayne Baird is a chiropractor for many years and knows a lot about the human body and what most people need to do in order to heal without a lot of drugs using herbs and other items which I will let you decide if it will work for you. He gave recipes which I have not yet had the time to try; however, I will be in a few days. He knows what he is talking about I have been to a chiropractor for years while living in California. She had some of the same things as Dr. Wayne. As Dr. Wayne says:

I work with individuals and groups to uncover the hidden emotional contracts and belief structures that lead us to make the same mistakes again… and again. Whether it’s the way we educate, create borders (literal or psychological), or build religions that separate instead of unify — it all tracks back to unexamined assumptions we keep dragging through time.

                                                    The Campaign 

     Dan and I come from different political backgrounds—he's a liberal, and I'm a conservative—yet we were able to have a civil and meaningful conversation. He is open and eager to share his beliefs, which makes for engaging discussion. Dan previously ran for office but did not win; however, that loss has only fueled his determination to try again. While he has not yet decided which race to enter, there are three open seats in Missouri. He faces a tough challenge, as he resides in the reddest district within a state that is already predominantly conservative. This will make his campaign more difficult, but he remains committed to the issues he believes in. Dan is well-informed about the challenges facing both Missouri and his county. With the backing of the Party, he has a strong foundation of support. His platform includes concerns about the state's direction, particularly in areas such as education, reproductive rights, and other key issues. For more information about his campaign, visit www.dan4mo.com.      You can connect with me at www.coffee-time-again.com or reach out via email at [email protected].
