Beyond Barriers Radio

On this episode of the Beyond Barriers podcast, former National Socialist Movement leader turned anti-extremism advocate Jeff Schoep sits down with author and columnist Josh Cohen to discuss Cohen’s book, William F. Buckley Jr.'s Guide to Friendship in a Polarized Era.  The conversation explores how William F. Buckley Jr. cultivated meaningful friendships with ideological opponents during one of the most politically turbulent periods in modern American history and what those relationships can teach a deeply fractured society today.  Cohen examines Buckley’s views on decency, forgiveness, humor, faith, tribalism, and intellectual seriousness, arguing that Buckley offered an antidote to the nihilism and hyper-polarization defining contemporary culture. You do not want to miss this one! Check out Josh's book here- https://www.amazon.com/William-Buckley-Guide-Friendship-Polarized/dp/1956454926Beyond Barriers Podcast is dedicated to dialogue — to honest conversations about growth, leadership, resilience, and the human capacity for change. Through real stories and unfiltered discussion, Beyond Barriers challenges assumptions and creates space for understanding, healing, and meaningful transformation.

Special guest Sean Gillespie shares his incredible story. From #abuse & #trauma to a lengthy prison sentence for #hate crimes to life altering positive change. Sean’s journey will shake you to your core and stir your soul. As a former neo-Nazi skinhead and member of the white supremacist organization, Aryan Nations, Mr. Gillespie's story will take you through an incredible path from a world of hate into a world of righteous change. A former leader, recruiter, organizer, propagandist, and violent terrorist for the white supremacist and neo-Nazi movement, he promoted hate, bigotry, and racism. He was sentenced to 39yrs in the Federal prison system for a racially motivated hate crime in 2004. Mr. Gillespie spent a total of 16 years in prison, 8 of which were served in America's most secure facility, A.D.X. Super-Maximum Control Unit. Mr. Gillespie was released from prison in 2020, after winning an appeal he filed pro se. Sean got a second chance on life and has been able to overcome the mistakes he made early on.  After turning his back on the white supremacist movement in 2008, Mr. Gillespie has been able to do a considerable amount of work to combat and fight hatred and extremism. He has assisted in the teaching of criminology students and written numerous articles against hatred. Mr. Gillespie was featured in the award-winning documentary series 'Indivisible: Healing Hate' (2022, Paramount Plus) narrated by Mandy Patinkin, as well as news interviews both locally and nationally.

Through interpersonal  relationships and dialogue with those he once vilified, Jeff’s life was  changed forever. In 2019, Jeff left the NSM and publicly denounced the  ideology he once espoused.  Once America’s most notorious neo-Nazi, now a  consultant for the Simon Wiesenthal Center and an inspirational speaker  for Conscious Campus, Jeff Schoep tirelessly holds talks, lectures and  workshops from his unique vantage point. He speaks with students,  communities, and law enforcement about the dangers of hate and  extremism.  In 2020, he founded Beyond Barriers, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit  organization dedicated to countering extremism and helping others change  their lives. He once was infamous – today, he is deadly serious about  combating extremism.  https://jeffschoep.com Follow Jeff Schoep: https://linktr.ee/jeffschoep   This video was produced by Beyond Barriers Media in association with  Underground Media Productions.

#BeyondBarriersPodcast hosts Jeff Schoep and Acacia Dietz interview &nbsp;retired police officer Anthony Beattie. In Episode 27 we discuss the &nbsp;relationship between police and community, school safety, and the &nbsp;struggles police as individuals face in both personal and professional &nbsp;life. &nbsp;Anthony has over 20 years of service in law enforcement, most at a city &nbsp;declining into one of the most violent in the nation. The student attack &nbsp;at Columbine drove training across his department, evolving their every &nbsp;day tactics and response. Yet he did not see these changes in the way &nbsp;schools respond to incidents, evidenced in Parkland. Anthony began &nbsp;researching acts of violence and student crisis, and spends much of his &nbsp;time studying security as an ASIS member and PSP applicant. Now Anthony &nbsp;is a co-founder of PEACE (Police Engagement And Community Excellence) &nbsp;and is the Protection Coordinator for ATAP Security. &nbsp;For more information on PEACE and ATAP please visit: PEACE: https://communityandpolice.com &amp; https://atapsecurity.com For more information on ATAP Hall Monitor: https://ataphallmonitor.com Jeff Schoep is the Founder of &nbsp;Beyond Barriers.

Understand the extremist mentality from someone who has been there. Kerry Noble was a leader within CSA (the Covenant, Sword & Arm of the Lord) in northern Arkansas from 1977-1985. He is the author of Tabernacle of Hate: Seduction Into Right-Wing Extremism. In 1984 Kerry came within seconds of committing what would have been the largest domestic terrorist act in US history. Listen to his story, what changed him, and how others can change, in this first episode of Kerry's new Podcast, Noble Heart.--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/appSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kerry-noble/supportBeyond Barriers Podcast is dedicated to dialogue — to honest conversations about growth, leadership, resilience, and the human capacity for change.

Kerry Noble joins co-hosts Jeff Schoep &amp; Acacia Dietz for episode 19 of #BeyondBarriersPodcast. &nbsp;Since 2001, Kerry has been speaking out against hate, violence and the &nbsp;radical right. &nbsp;Kerry was involved with a group called CSA (Covenant, &nbsp;Sword &amp; Arm of the Lord) during the late 1970's until they were &nbsp;raided by the FBI in April of 1985. CSA was a racist, paramilitary, &nbsp;survivalist, extremist group in rural Arkansas that believed in &nbsp;Christian Identity (a racist offshoot of Christianity). &nbsp;In this &nbsp;episode, Kerry tells of how in June 1983 he came within seconds of what &nbsp;could have been, at that time, the largest domestic terrorist act in US &nbsp;history, when he took a bomb into a gay church. But how the actions of &nbsp;the people in the church changed his perspective and he did not go &nbsp;through with the plan. &nbsp;This is an episode you won't want to miss.&nbsp; &nbsp;Kerry Noble has published two books "Tabernacle of Hate: Seduction Into &nbsp;Right-Wing Extremism" and "Tabernacle of Hope: Bridging Your Darkened &nbsp;Past Toward a Brighter Future" which can be found on Amazon.com - Check &nbsp;out Kerry on Twitter: @KerryNoble_CSA &nbsp; More information on Beyond Barriers - https://beyondbarriersusa.org or email: [email protected]
