The Rising Sovereign Podcast: Homeschooling, Quantum Biology & Radical Family Redemption

What happens when humanity takes control over light itself—creating a state of perpetual twilight, a world that is never fully day nor fully night?

In this solo episode, Jay explores how the rise of electricity didn't just illuminate the night—it fundamentally altered our relationship with creation. Drawing from The Invisible Rainbow, he traces the historical shift into an environment increasingly shaped by artificial light and electromagnetic saturation.

But this isn't just a technological story.

This episode confronts a deeper question: what kind of light are we actually living under? By discerning the quality of light—natural vs. artificial—we begin to see how it either supports connection and alignment with creation, or drives disconnection at a biological and spiritual level.

At its core, this is a call to step out of the illusion of control—returning to humility, restoring our relationship with God, and remembering that we were never meant to replace the rhythms of creation, but to live within them.

Joe Hollier shares how the Light Phone is helping teens, parents, and educators rethink digital life

In this episode, Jaydee speaks with Joe Hollier, co-founder of the Light Phone, a minimalist mobile device created as a powerful alternative to the modern smartphone. Designed to support intentional living and reduce digital overwhelm, the Light Phone is helping people — especially teens and younger generations — rethink their relationship with technology.

Joe shares how the Light Phone evolved from a simple idea into a growing movement rooted in mindfulness, digital detox, and human connection. As smartphones continue to dominate attention and disrupt face-to-face interactions, this conversation explores what it means to live without constant notifications, social media, and algorithm-driven content.

From educational institutions adopting the Light Phone to Gen Z users seeking more balance, Joe offers first-hand insight into how this technology is being used to create healthier habits. He also discusses the challenges of building a product that goes against industry norms, the power of boredom in sparking creativity, and the emotional impact of disconnecting from smartphones.

If you've ever questioned how technology is shaping your focus, attention, or mental health — especially in teens — this episode will inspire a new perspective.

Faith, Mindfulness, and the Fight for Mental Health in a Tech-Obsessed Culture

In this powerful episode, Andrew Laubacher and Jaydee explore the heart behind Humanality — a movement born from the growing need to address technology addiction, mental health challenges, and the false sense of connection created by social media.

Andrew opens up about his personal journey — from smartphone dependency to flipping the switch (literally) back to a flip phone. Together, they unpack the psychological effects of tech, the loss of authentic human interaction, and the role of faith and spirituality in finding purpose beyond the screen.

This conversation goes deep into the manipulative design of digital platforms, the need for community support, and how mindfulness, intentionality, and a return to human-centered values can help us reclaim what matters most.

What You'll Learn: What is Humanality and Why It Matters

• The origin story of Humanality as a response to smartphone addiction

• Why college campuses are a digital battleground for attention and authenticity

• How reclaiming human experience is a radical act in today's tech-driven world

Challenges in the Digital Age

• How social media creates a matrix of other people's memories

• Why convenience is a killer when it comes to tech use

• The real mental health impacts of screen time and blue light exposure

• How technology is unraveling our core human experiences

Actionable Strategies for Digital Detox

• Start a Humanality Digital Detox Group!

• The importance of community support and shared accountability

Faith, Meaning & Youth Empowerment

• Why young people are finding atheism impractical

• How experiencing God creates transformation that tech cannot mimic

• The role of Christianity and the Eucharist in reclaiming identity

From medical system failure to functional health success—MitoPapi's blueprint for healing and serving others with quantum-informed care and unwavering Faith

In today's episode, we sit down with Chris Voutsas (aka MitoPapi) — father, practitioner, and leading voice in circadian health and mitochondrial biology. We explore why modern healing must go beyond productivity and symptom management and into the deeper restoration of light, metabolism, nervous system regulation, cellular energy, and embodied resilience.

This conversation bridges biology and spirit, unpacking how healing happens at the level of the cell, the nervous system, and the identity — especially for those who have walked through burnout, spiritual searching, or chronic survival states.

In this episode you'll hear about:

• Why mitochondria are the control center of energy, inflammation, mood, and adaptation

• The role of light, electrons, and circadian rhythms in cellular healing

• How stress patterns get stored in the body — even after belief systems change

• Why real restoration requires nervous system repair, not just mindset shifts

• The missing piece in most healing conversations: metabolic and cellular terrain

• How mothers, in particular, need nervous system capacity before they need "optimization"

This is a science-backed, soul-aware conversation for anyone sensing that healing has to go deeper than protocols, productivity, or behavioral change.

A Deeper Dive into Childhood, Consent & Christian Sovereignty in a Confused Culture

In this powerful follow-up to our interview with Martha Schoultz (founder of Partners for Ethical Care & Transition Justice), Jay and Jaydee reflect on the deeper implications of gender ideology, the detransition movement, and the cultural impact of moral relativism on parenting, education, and society.

We explore: -What it means to be a detransitioner -Why informed consent is being bypassed -The difference between subjective vs. objective truth -How Christianity provides grounding in chaos -Why spiritual and parental sovereignty matters now more than ever

This is a candid, emotional, and deeply rooted conversation on the breakdown of truth, the erosion of childhood, and what parents can do to reclaim their voice and authority.

Also mentioned: recent interviews with John Klyczek (author of School World Order) and Andy Libson (What's Left podcast).

In this powerful episode of The Rising Sovereign Podcast, veteran educators Andy Libson and John Klyczek (aka the Taoist Professor) expose the hidden agenda behind EdTech, AI in classrooms, and the increasing use of screens in schools.

This isn't just about education reform—it's about decades of policy, profit, and psychological programming that parents were never meant to notice.

If you've ever asked:

• Why is screen time exploding in schools?

• Why does "personalized learning" feel like surveillance?

• Where did all of this start?

…this episode will answer those questions—and raise new ones.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• The 40-year agenda behind digital education—from Project BEST to AI bots

• How Charlotte Iserbyt predicted today's EdTech takeover

• Why teachers and students are now training the machines that will replace them

• The real purpose of standardized learning and digital compliance

• How AI, behavioral conditioning, and school-issued tech are reshaping childhood

• What we lose when children stop learning with their bodies, hands, and community

• Why the public education system isn't broken—it's functioning exactly as designed

• What parents can do to opt out and reclaim their child's humanity

What You'll Unlock as a Paid Member

The second half of this conversation is members-only, and it's where the conversation goes from urgent… to transformational.

We dig into the deep ideological roots of the EdTech movement—beyond political parties, past the culture wars, and straight into the philosophical reprogramming of childhood itself.

👇 Here's a full preview of what's behind the paywall: 👇

The Ideological Engine Behind EdTech

John Klyczek peels back the layers behind today's "progressive" education tools—revealing how both corporate technocrats and Marxist theorists helped create a system designed for behavioral compliance and central control.

"The same psychological tools used for advertising and propaganda are now built into the classroom — only now they're wrapped in social justice language."

He explains how critical pedagogy was co-opted, where equity now means automation, and liberation becomes algorithmic supervision.

Cultural Division as a Feature, Not a Bug

Andy and John show how identity politics are being used to splinter school communities—pitting parents and teachers against each other while the real agenda rolls forward:

"These aren't grassroots fights. They're engineered distractions while the tech gets installed." — Andy Libson

The endless debates over curriculum language and policy are a smokescreen for deeper infrastructure of compliance.

What's Really at Stake: Human Will

This isn't just about EdTech—it's about whether your child will grow up with the capacity to think at all.

As AI anticipates every answer and every need, children stop developing the muscle of uncertainty. They are trained to consume truth, not discern it.

"Once you surrender your will to a system, the system will gladly replace it." — John Klyczek

Building the Alternative: Reclaiming Childhood

The episode closes with a clear call: don't just opt out—reclaim what's ancient and real.

• Nature-based learning

• Embodied play and exploration

• Storytelling and intergenerational wisdom

• Decision-making rooted in sovereignty and spirit

"The alternative isn't complicated. It's ancient." — John Klyczek "Sovereignty begins with the parent's will—not the district's policy." — Andy Libson

Lawyer Martha Shoultz on the Ethics Crisis in Gender Medicine

In this compelling and eye-opening conversation, Jay and J.D. Azovari sit down with Martha Shoultz, a lawyer, parent, and fierce advocate for families impacted by gender ideology and pediatric medical transition. As the Director of Transition Justice and Co-founder of Partners for Ethical Care, Martha brings an unfiltered, deeply experienced perspective to a subject many are too afraid to touch.

Together, they explore the hidden costs of affirm-only care, the rise in detransitioners, and how parents are often sidelined in some of the most critical decisions of their child's life. Martha shares real-world stories from her legal work—stories of families blindsided by school policies, medical professionals who operate without true informed consent, and young people who have been irrevocably harmed by rushed, unregulated gender interventions.

This episode is packed with first-hand insight, raw testimony, and practical resources for families navigating what has quickly become one of the most controversial and misunderstood issues of our time.

Whether you're a parent, teacher, healthcare provider, or just someone seeking truth in an age of confusion, this conversation offers clarity, courage, and direction.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

• Why rapid-onset gender dysphoria (ROGD) is often misunderstood—and how it's showing up in families across the U.S.

• How comorbid conditions like autism, trauma, anxiety, and chronic illness are frequently overlooked in youth with gender confusion.

• Why current "gender-affirming" models often bypass true mental health care and root-cause exploration.

• First-hand stories of detransitioners—and the shocking lack of medical accountability behind many of their experiences.

• How pornography, social media, and algorithms are weaponized against vulnerable kids, often without parental awareness.

• The role of nonprofits, school clinics, and pharma in pushing this ideology—even at the expense of children's health and consent.

• Why legal accountability matters—and how Transition Justice is helping to set precedent through lawsuits.

• What you can do as a parent to protect your children, find support, and challenge harmful policies at the local level.

What if the most important conversations about your kids are the ones you're not allowed to have?

In this kickoff episode of our new series, The Untouchables, we name the topics that have been silenced, censored, and deemed too controversial for schools, media, or progressive parenting circles.

In this episode, we cover:

• What "The Untouchables" are — and why they matter now more than ever

• Why gender ideology in schools is becoming a battleground for parental rights

• How therapy culture and SEL are reshaping education (and not always in good ways)

• What medical freedom means for your family after COVID

• Intro to terrain theory vs germ theory (and why it's more than a health debate)

• Why tech, AI, and education are converging — fast

• A preview of our interviews with Martha Schultz, John Klyczek, and more

If you've ever searched:

• "Can I opt out of SEL in school?"

• "What are my rights around gender curriculum?"

• "Is homeschooling better in 2025?" Then this episode is for you.
