Insights With Marcia

65 million grandparents in America. 30 million of them are believers. But how many are actually passing down their faith to generations they'll never meet? On this episode of Insights with Marcia, host Marcia Upson sits down with Brenda Peitzman, Director of Events for Legacy Coalition, to talk about what it really means to be an intentional Christian grandparent. Brenda shares Legacy Coalition founder Larry Fowler's teaching on the four types of grandparents, why storytelling beats books when it comes to passing down faith, and a jaw-dropping miracle story from a freezing Christmas Eve in Iowa that her grandkids still ask her to retell. Whether you're a brand-new grandparent or your house is full of grandkids this Grandparents Day, this conversation will challenge you to think past your own lifetime — and start praying for grandchildren you may never meet.

Constitutional lawyer Keisha Toni Derry returns to Insights with Marcia to walk through the evidence in the Charlie Kirk murder case — separating what's actually in the court record from what's circulating on social media. Keisha (formerly of First Liberty Institute, now with the State of Florida) breaks down the case against Tyler Robinson point by point: the confession text messages to his roommate, the DNA found on the rifle and towel, the ballistics testimony, the surveillance footage and shoe/clothing matches, and what "transfer DNA" actually means in a case like this. She also explains how Utah's death penalty aggravating-factor standard applies here, what has to happen for a unanimous death verdict, and why she believes a guilty plea may ultimately be the most likely outcome. Marcia and Keisha also talk candidly about the "court of social media" — why online sleuthing and unverified theories are doing real damage to real people's lives — and close with a reflection on Charlie Kirk's legacy and impact on faith among young people.

The jury is deadlocked. Attorney Keisha Toni Derry breaks down what happens next in the Lindsay Clancy trial. As the nation watches the Lindsay Clancy case unfold in Plymouth Superior Court, attorney Keisha Toni Derry joins Marcia Upson to break down the legal side of one of the most closely watched trials in the country. With the jury reporting they're deadlocked after days of deliberation, Keisha walks through exactly what's at stake: Massachusetts' unique burden-shifting insanity defense, the five verdict options the jury is weighing, and why she believes this case may end the way Andrea Yates' did decades ago. This is Part 2 of a two-part series — don't miss Part 1 with nurse Gina Overby on the psychiatric side of postpartum psychosis.

40-yr nurse on postpartum psychosis, the Clancy case & meds no one talks about A special edition of Insights with Marcia. As the Lindsay Clancy trial deliberations continue with no verdict yet, host Marcia Upson sits down with Gena Overby — a postpartum/pediatric nurse of over 40 years — to talk through what postpartum psychosis actually looks like from the inside. Gena has personally witnessed two cases of postpartum psychosis in her decades of nursing, and she walks through both stories in detail: the warning signs families missed, the moment each husband realized "this isn't tiredness, this is an emergency," and what recovery looked like afterward. The conversation moves into medication tapering, genetic methylation status, copper/zinc imbalances, and the nutrient-based psychiatric approach used by Dr. Albert Mensah — including why some people thrive on psychiatric medication and others don't. Neither Marcia nor Gena claims to know what happened with Lindsay Clancy specifically — this is Gena's clinical experience laid alongside the public facts of the case, offered as context, not judgment. Watch for the companion legal episode with attorney Keisha Toni Derry, breaking down what has to be proven in court.
