Exile, Humiliation, and the Power of the Tribune. Guest Author: Josiah Osgood. Seeking revenge for the Bona Dea trial, Clodius Pulcher transferred his status from patrician to plebeian to run for the office of tribune. Once elected, he passed legislation that targeted anyone who had put Roman citizens to death without a trial. This law was aimed directly at Cicero for his actions during the Catiline conspiracy. Recognizing the danger, Cicero fled Rome and went into exile, during which Clodius's supporters destroyed his mansion on the Palatine Hill. Clodius even built a shrine to the goddess Freedom on the site to humiliate his rival. During his exile, Cicero's wife, Terentia, worked to manage their affairs and protect their children while seeking his restoration. Cicero's departure was highly theatrical; he adopted the appearance of a mourner in "ashes and sackcloth" to stir public pity. Despite his attempts to gain sympathy, Clodius's populist support and political maneuvering ensured the law remained in effect, marking a devastating period of ruin for Cicero. He eventually returned to Rome, but his political influence was permanently diminished. 6CRETE MINOANS
Timoleon and the Exile of Dionysius in Corinth. Guest Author: Professor James Romm. Dionysius the Youngereventually reclaimed his fortress, but Syracuse turned to Corinth for aid. Corinth sent Timoleon, a retired man leading a meager mercenary force. Surprisingly, Dionysius chose to abdicate rather than fight, negotiating a peaceful retirement in Corinth. The former tyrant lived his final years as a music teacher and priest. He famously claimed his ability to endure poverty proved he had learned from Plato. This fall from power gave rise to the proverb "Dionysius is in Corinth," signifying the inherent uncertainty of fortune and absolute power. 6

Exile reveals humanity's sin, God's justice, and God's mercy—and all three find their ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ.
We are wrapping up this semester by bringing it back to where we started—remembering that the Bible is no ordinary book. It's the story of God's redemptive plan to rescue us from sin and restore the world. In this message, we will see how this plays out in the final book of the Old Testament, Malachi, and we will talk about what to do when you find yourself drifting away from your faith. -- In this series of Plans, with the biblical story as our guide, we will discover truths and develop skills that will help us become fully devoted followers of Christ. https://www.bible.com/reading-plans/29214-fully-devoted-the-conclusion | SWITCH IRL | Find a location near you here: https://www.life.church/locations/ | SOCIAL |
"A mess of a dreamer with the nerve to adore you." This week we're deep diving "Cold As You" from Taylor Swift's self-titled debut album (2006) — and it's a heavy one. What reads on the surface as a teen heartbreak song turns out to be a meditation on indifference, power imbalance, and the particular kind of scar that forms not from cruelty, but from being simply not cared about.

In this episode of Centering the Asian American Christian Podcast, hosts Daniel Lee and Yulee Lee sit down with church historian and theologian Dr. Kenneth “Ken” Woo, author of John Calvin, Refugee Theologian: Introducing a Reformer in Exile. Together, they explore what happens when one of Christianity's towering Reformation figures is read through the eyes of an outsider, a refugee, and an Asian American. What if John Calvin—often caricatured as a cold, hyper-intellectual champion of predestination—was actually writing from the margins, as a displaced person longing for home? And what might that mean for Asian American Christians who have inherited and love the Reformed tradition, but have often met it in heavily “whitened” or de-contextualized forms? Through stories of family migration, pastoral ministry, and academic work, Ken shares how his own Chinese American refugee heritage reshaped the way he reads Calvin, and how reframing Calvin as a refugee can open space for Asian American believers to see themselves not as perpetual guests in the Reformed tradition, but as genuine heirs and contributors.

Sermon on Jeremiah 18:1-11. This is the second sermon in our five-week sermon series called Faith in Exile.Although Jeremiah didn't preach during the time of the Exile, his prophetic foresight paved a way for Israel to be faithful as they were taken captive in Babylon. We, too, are in exile, as citizens of heaven dwelling on earth - therefore, we can learn from Jeremiah how to live faithfully here. Each week during this Jeremiah-focused sermon series, we'll focus on an aspect of our earthly life we can anticipate and prepare for.In this sermon, we explore how God never abandons or forsakes us, but continues to shape us toward holiness.

A memoir of a child's forced relocation to Siberia under Stalin's Gulag system reveals the potential for true human kindness in the face of extraordinary hardship. In April of 1940, six-year-old Ida woke to the sound of pounding on her door. Soviet soldiers forcibly packed her and her mother onto a train with thousands of their neighbors and deported them to remote Siberia, leaving them stranded to survive the brutal winter in subhuman conditions. Looking back, Ida shares their struggles: foraging for food, trying to reunite with her imprisoned father, spending weeks in a desolate hospital with typhoid fever, and adapting to shifts in the political climate to make the long journey home to Poland. Ida published this acclaimed memoir in her native Polish in 2011. Here, Ida's granddaughter, Isabella Skrypczak, translates her babcia's words and provides additional context—including describing the remarkable life Ida has gone on to live as a pioneering doctor. In the vein of Anne Frank's The Diary of a Young Girl, A Polish Girl in Siberia: Surviving and Transcending Exile (Disruption Books, 2026) chronicles Ida's experiences on a lesser-known front of the Second World War. Together, Ida and Isabella reflect on how every small act of kindness contributed to Ida's liberation from exile and ability to build a life and a family. Her story celebrates the capacity of the human spirit to not only survive trauma but thrive beyond it.Ida Kinalska-Pietruska survived childhood exile to Siberia during the Soviet Union's World War II assault on Poland. When she returned to Poland as a teen, she began studying medicine. A pioneering endocrinologist, she founded the School of Endocrinology and Diabetology in Białystok and led the region's first endocrinology clinic for twenty years. Ida has authored more than four hundred publications, mentored countless other doctors, and collaborated across the international medical community, including using her research to make widely known the Chernobyl disaster's effects on people's endocrinological health. She has been honored with the Order Odrodzenia Polski, Poland's second-highest civilian state award, and two Doctor Honoris Causa titles, reflecting her resilience, brilliance, and global impact on science and humanity.Isabella Skrypczak is an author, intuitive healer, and former HR professional in Big Tech whose work bridges the seen and unseen. Born to Polish immigrants and raised in Houston, Texas, she spent every summer with her grandmother in Poland. When her grandmother's memoir gained national attention in Polish media, Iza felt called to translate it into English—an act of love, remembrance, and advocacy. As war returned to Eastern Europe, she recognized the urgency in sharing this history with the Western world. She lives in Austin, Texas, with her daughter, Kamila.Stephen Satkiewicz is an independent scholar with research areas spanning Civilizational Sciences, Social Complexity, Big History, Historical Sociology, Military History, War Studies, International Relations, Geopolitics, and Russian and East European history.

Submit media fails you see, and get facts, links, images and more at TheyStandCorrected.substack.com. Celebrate and support the fight for truth by becoming a Founding Member! A top official representing Uyghurs reached out to Josh, saying he'd welcome the chance to talk about misinformation in the media. Then, the story of China's extreme repression of the mostly Muslim Uyghurs became especially timely. Today, Salih Hudayar, foreign minister of the East Turkestan Government in Exile, discusses how China is manipulating the world with help from the media. He assails the hypocrisy left-wing groups that claim to care about human rights, “colonialism,” and “genocide,” while ignoring “the biggest imperialist power,” China. Josh explains how this affects coverage of politics, the war in Iran, trade, immigration, and more. He explains how Chinese funding fuels organizations like Code Pink and streamers like Hasan Piker as they work to radicalize people around the world's stupidest cause: hating Israel. The plight of the Uyghurs also highlights the hypocrisy of many Islamic nations, the U.N., and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Hudayar shares his experience being kicked out of U.S. mosques for simply requesting a prayer to end the genocide of Uyghurs. Plus, Maine Democrat Graham Platner has Democrats' backing despite a long record of horrible behaviors, and ousted 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley leaves big questions unanswered.

Through the words of the prophet Zechariah, they unpack God's faithfulness, the danger of drifting, and how a little summer self-reflection can keep students from repeating the mistakes of the past. Packed with practical accountability ideas and a reminder for leaders to rest and refill, this episode equips Switch leaders to finish the year strong and head into summer ready to sprint again.

Pastor Nate sits down with his dad, Rev. David Warren Preisinger, for a conversation about church history, family, faith, and why people keep showing up even when church gets messy. Dave shares what it was like to be part of Seminex, the Seminary in Exile, and how that experience shaped his understanding of leadership, community, and trusting God in uncertain moments.At the heart of this episode is a simple but honest question: why does church still matter? Together, Nate and Dave talk about relationships, service, worship, justice, and the grace that keeps calling us back into community.What You'll Learn:Why the Seminex walkout mattered in Lutheran historyHow church conflict can still reveal God's presenceWhy relationships are central to healthy church communityHow churches can serve their neighborhoods with care and dignityWhy worship, ritual, and belonging still matter todayChapters:00:00 Coming up on Together 4 Good01:00 Meet Rev.

We found one of the most haunted and legendary bars in New Orleans, and the ghosts there never stopped partying. In this episode, we explore the wild history and lingering spirits of Cafe Lafitte in Exile, the oldest continuously operating gay bar in the United States. With reported hauntings from Tennessee Williams and Truman Capote, a ghost named Mr. Bubbles who may still be causing chaos on the dance floor. We get into the dramatic “Grand Exile” parade that turned this bar into a symbol of queer resilience, the emotional energy many believe fueled its hauntings, and the disco era traditions that still live on today.

Send us Fan MailGeoffrey Cain, author of Steve Jobs in Exile, joins Joe to explore one of the most overlooked chapters in Steve Jobs' life: the twelve years between his fall from Apple and his return to build one of the most influential companies in the world.This episode looks beyond the familiar story of the iPhone, iPod, and Apple's second act to examine the wilderness years that shaped Jobs into the leader we remember today. After being pushed out of Apple in 1985, Jobs was forced to confront failure, ego, rejection, and the limits of vision without discipline. What followed was a long and painful period of experimentation, mistakes, personal transformation, and eventual renewal through NeXT and Pixar.Geoffrey explains why the Steve Jobs who founded Apple was not the same Steve Jobs who returned in 1997. As a young leader, Jobs was brilliant but difficult, convinced of his own vision but often unable to listen to the people around him. At NeXT, that ego led to missed opportunities, broken relationships, and expensive failure. But over time, those same failures began to teach him the lessons he needed most: focus, discipline, humility, execution, and the ability to work within the limits of reality.Joe and Geoffrey also discuss:Why Steve Jobs' time away from Apple was not wasted, but formativeHow NeXT helped lay the foundation for the Apple products we use todayWhy genius without discipline can end in expensive failureHow Jobs' ego hurt NeXT and nearly destroyed his second actWhat Pixar taught Jobs about trust, creative restraint, and letting talented people do their workWhy failure can become the foundation for future successHow the “wilderness years” shape leaders before they return strongerWhy Jobs came back to Apple quieter, more focused, and more willing to listenWhat leaders can learn from Jobs' journey through failure, reinvention, and returnThis episode is for anyone who has ever gone through a hard season and wondered whether it was wasted. It's also for leaders, builders, creatives, and entrepreneurs who want to better understand how failure, if we are willing to learn from it, can become the preparation for our most important work.A special thanks to this week's sponsors!Dunedain Systems is a veteran-founded defense technology company building Warmind, an AI platform that accelerates military planning, operations, and document generation.

It's episode 348! We've been in GGG's new 0.5 Rise of the Ancients patch for a week now and we've both put a ton of time into it.

Pastor Lucas Miles continued our summer series through the Book of Revelation with a message focused on Revelation Chapter 1 and the unveiling of Jesus Christ as the central figure of the entire book. He explained that Revelation is not primarily about end-times events, but about the person, authority, and victory of Christ.The message explored the book's opening verses, including the Trinitarian greeting from the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the significance of biblical symbolism and numbers, and the purpose of the seven churches as representatives of the complete Church. Pastor Lucas highlighted the importance of understanding Revelation as apocalyptic literature, where symbols and imagery communicate theological truths rather than serving as secret codes.He also examined John's exile on the island of Patmos and the powerful vision of the glorified Christ recorded in Revelation 1. Drawing connections to the prophetic visions of Daniel and Ezekiel, the sermon emphasized Jesus as the resurrected and reigning King who holds authority over history, death, and eternity.A major focus of the message was the biblical tension between the "already" and the "not yet" of God's Kingdom. While Christ's victory has already been secured through His death and resurrection, believers continue to live in anticipation of its full realization. Christians are called to remain faithful in the present, trusting God's promises even when they have not yet been fully manifested.The sermon concluded with a challenge to fully surrender every area of life to Christ's dominion. Rather than merely acknowledging Jesus as Lord, believers were encouraged to submit their fears, struggles, addictions, anxieties, and uncertainties to the One who reigns forever and holds the keys of Death and Hades.Key Themes:The Revelation of Jesus ChristThe Trinity in RevelationBiblical Symbolism and NumbersThe Seven ChurchesThe Blessings of RevelationJohn's Exile on PatmosThe Glorified ChristThe Already and the Not YetChrist's Dominion and AuthorityFaithfulness Through TribulationTimestamps:0:26 — The Book's Identity5:40 — Seven Beatitudes10:47 — The Trinity & Numeric Symbolism31:38 — John on Patmos & The Lord's Day35:05 — The Vision of the Glorified Christ39:33 — Christ's Declaration46:24 — The Already and the Not Yet51:24 — The Call

Are anxious thoughts stealing your peace? Do you find yourself trapped in a cycle of worry, perfectionism, or rigid control—sometimes without even realizing it? You're not alone, and you don't have to face this struggle in silence. In this episode, the conversation dives deep into the pervasive reality of anxiety—what it feels like, why so many of us miss the signs, and how faith intersects with mental health. Nichole Suvar shares her own journey, from childhood panic attacks no one could name, to adulthood struggles with shame, perfectionism, and even suicidal thoughts. Hear how finally receiving a diagnosis for anxiety and depression brought relief, clarity, and a path to healing—and how opening up about her struggles helped others around her do the same. A key theme that emerged was how many in our generation grew up lacking language for anxiety ("just calm down" or "don't worry" was the advice), while younger generations often recognize these feelings sooner. The discussion explores practical steps for those overwhelmed by worry—from identifying anxious patterns hiding in everyday life, to learning how to relinquish false control and invite God into the struggle. One concept discussed is the illusion that peace can be earned through achieving the "perfect" body, success, or image. Instead, lasting peace is something we cultivate—not manufacture—by returning to God's original design and practicing true stewardship, not unhealthy control (18:48). If you've ever felt ashamed of your anxiety, doubted your faith because of your mental health battles, or wondered when worry crosses the line into something more serious, this episode will meet you with wisdom, compassion, and hope. You'll come away with fresh insight, tangible tools for daily surrender, and the freeing reminder: You don’t have to hold it all together. Listen in to discover: How to spot hidden anxiety—even if you think it’s “just your personality” The practical differences between worry, concern, and clinical anxiety Why control feels soothing, but never truly delivers peace What “cultivating Eden” looks like in a modern world Why God’s peace isn’t achieved, but received—and how to start seeking it today Connect with Nichole Suvar: Website: livewithintent.org Instagram: @nicolejsuvar Book: I Don’t Have to Hold It All Together: Cultivating the Peace of Eden When Feeling Overwhelmed (Amazon affiliate link: Tiny portion of your purchase goes to support Compared to Who? ministry.)

Josh Ireland explains that Trotsky was expelled from the Politburo after labeling Stalin the "gravedigger of the revolution." He began a global exile, eventually finding sanctuary in Mexico at the invitation of muralist Diego Rivera. (3/16)1906
