Rev. Jason Braaten welcomes back Rev. John Bussman to work through the CTCR's December 2025 report, "The Proper Administration of the Lord's Supper: Applying Scripture and the Confessions to Contemporary Issues." Prompted by 2023 Synod Convention resolutions, the report addresses three practices that have crept into LCMS congregations: substituting grape juice for wine, using prepackaged communion elements, and substituting non-wheat bread for those with gluten intolerance. Braaten and Bussman walk through each section, weighing the report's appeal to the words of institution and the Lutheran Confessions against its reluctance to flatly call these practices illegitimate. They discuss why clarity—not nuance—serves the truth, how exceptions tend to become rules, and what faithful, pastoral care looks like when a congregation's practice doesn't match Christ's institution. A frank conversation for pastors who want to know not just what the document says, but where it falls short. ----more---- Host: Fr. Jason Braaten Guest: Fr. John Bussman ----more---- Become a Patron!

A Shot in the Arm Media launches a new nine-part series produced in partnership with the UCSF Institute for Global Health Sciences, built around the book Redefining Global Health in the 21st Century, co-authored by Dr. mike Reid (UCSF Institute for Global Health Sciences) and Ambassador Eric Goosby (former U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator and former PEPFAR Chief Medical Officer). In this prologue episode, Reid and Goosby explain why they wrote the book, what defined the “golden era” of global health since the early 2000s—the Global Fund, PEPFAR, Gavi—and why that progress now feels at risk under the Trump administration's cuts to USAID and PEPFAR. They introduce the book's central metaphor, borrowed from Cory Doctorow's concept of “enshittification,” to ask whether global health institutions are on the brink of decay, and argue that decline is a choice, not a destiny. The conversation previews the arc of the series—covering the old order, governance, financing, climate, technology and AI, and self-care for health workers—and closes with a call for honesty, bipartisanship and accountability, grounded in the legacies of Nelson Mandela and Steve Biko. 00:00 Introduction: Is the Greatest Threat to Global Health...

Michael McFaul describes Vladimir Putin as an ideological risk-taker who views himself as a defender of "orthodox Christian values" against a threatening West. McFaul argues that previous US administrations failed to hedge against Russian aggression by not expanding NATO faster or providing sufficient weaponry to "gray zone" countries like Ukraine. This perceived lack of resolve may have emboldened Putin's 2022 full-scale invasion. Furthermore, the segment explores how autocracy is gaining global popularity, as some perceive it to be more efficient than the bureaucratic "veto points" often found in democratic systems. (5)1938

In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with lifelong entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and author Hunter Hastings to dismantle the biggest sacred cow in modern business education: the MBA. If you've ever felt suffocated by endless corporate reporting, rigid five-year strategic plans, or red tape that stalls brilliant ideas, you are likely stuck in the "administration trap." Hastings, co-author of Venture Mode: Escape the Administration Trap by Finding and Unleashing Entrepreneurial Leaders, reveals how modern corporations and business schools have mistakenly turned potential trailblazers into process-focused bureaucrats. Drawing on radical principles of Austrian economics and hard-earned wisdom from Silicon Valley to Procter & Gamble, this conversation flips traditional corporate hierarchy on its head, advocating for a relentless obsession with the true boss of any business: the consumer.

In this episode of the On Mission podcast, Founding Director Father Frank Donio, S.A.C., and Sarah Scalfaro, Director of Administration, are joined by Project Coordinator Brian Rhude to discuss the U.S. bishops' decision to consecrate the country to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Coinciding with the nation's 250th anniversary, this dedication offers a moment to reflect on religious freedom and reorient the nation toward Christ amidst ongoing turmoil. Father Frank highlights the historical context, noting the devotion's connection to Pope Pius XI's 1925 institution of the Feast of Christ the King to acknowledge Christ's kingship amid global oppression. The conversation emphasizes that this consecration reminds the Church and laity to serve the Lord and sanctify the temporal order, rather than focusing on political control. Topics discussed also include the Sacred Heart portrayed in art, and devotions in history including Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque. This episode also provides simple ways to develop a personal devotion to the Sacred Heart, as well as discussions of prayer practices to deepen it.

In honor of the life and legacy of Bob Woodson, we are re-airing this special conversation. Bob, Founder and President of the Woodson Center and 1776 Unites, dedicated his life to poverty alleviation and empowering disadvantaged communities to become agents of their own uplift. His decades of service, wisdom, and commitment to helping communities discover their own solutions left a lasting impact on countless lives. Bob Woodson was an influential leader on issues of poverty alleviation and empowering disadvantaged communities to become agents of their own uplift. Woodson was a frequent advisor to local, state and federal government officials as well as business and philanthropic organizations. His social activism dated back to the 1960s, when as a young civil rights activist he developed and coordinated national and local community revitalization programs. During the 1970's he directed the National Urban League's Administration of Justice division. Later he served as a Resident Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. As Founder and President of The Woodson Center, Bob was on a mission to help residents of low-income neighborhoods address the problems of their communities. Bob joins me today to discuss his approach to dealing with race relations in America and what he believes is a huge problem; the disconnection between work and income, in underserved communities. "People are inspired to change and improve and cooperate when you can show them examples of victories that are possible, not always reminding them of injuries to be avoided." - Bob Woodson One of the most powerful metaphors about that makes a difference is that to some on the left, Hank Aaron was the strikeout king. But to some of us who look at the glass as being half full, he was the home run king. It depends upon what your perspective is. - Bob Woodson "You should always look for antibodies. Even in the worst communities, there are healthy elements that I call community antibodies. If you say that 70% of the people in that community are raising children that are dysfunctional, it means 30% or not. You can learn nothing from studying failure except how to create failure." - Bob Woodson This week on The Wow Factor: How Bob's upbringing inspired him to work in Civil Rights The breakdown of the traditional American Family Why you can't define Black America by slavery The importance of looking for the solution to every problem Why you can't judge people by their past When you give freely, don't give with the expectation that you will be thanked Why you must stay faithful to what you do and not be so attached to the outcome of what you're doing Why America is a country of redemption Bob Woodson's Words of Wisdom: When you give freely, don't give with the expectation that you're going to be thanked. Give out of Godly responsibility, rather than compassion.

On this day, 7 June 1948 Chinese indentured phosphate miners on Nauru protested when a ship came to take them back to China, but they demanded part of their pay.The workers charged that Chinese interpreters who controlled the community funds would not pay out their share of contributions. Police attempted to arrest one Chinese worker, after which the other miners barricaded themselves into their settlement. The Pacific Islands Monthly journal claimed that the workers "built barricades, armed themselves with spears, clubs and axes, and showered stones upon officials who approached them."The Administration, run by Australia on behalf of the United Nations, responded by declaring a state of emergency and bringing in riot police. Police attacked the settlement, killing two and injuring 16 Chinese miners. They also arrested 49 people, two of whom were bayoneted to death in custody.The killer of the workers in custody was charged with unlawful killing but later acquitted. In contrast, the surviving 47 Chinese workers were convicted of offences including extortion and rioting, and deported.More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/7982/Nauru-Chinese-workers-protestOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

Genesis 1:31 reveals a powerful truth about God's character: He is a God of order, purpose, and intentional design. In this devotional, Deidre Braley explores what it means to be created in the image of God and how His orderly nature is reflected throughout creation. From the boundaries He established in the natural world to the systems that allow life to flourish, God demonstrates that order is not restrictive—it is life-giving. As believers, we are called to reflect His character by bringing peace, clarity, and purpose into the spaces we influence. Highlights God’s creation reveals His nature as a God of order and purpose. Being made in God’s image means reflecting His character in everyday life. Order creates space for people, relationships, and communities to thrive. Stewarding our homes and possessions can be an act of worship. Healthy systems and organization help good work flourish. Peacemaking reflects God’s heart and brings stability to relationships. Christians are called to bring clarity and hope into chaotic situations. Small acts of intentionality can create lasting impact in our daily lives. Join the Conversation Where do you sense God calling you to bring greater order, peace, or purpose into your life?

Full Transcript Below: What it Means to Be Made in the Image of an Orderly God By Deidre Braley Bible Reading: God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day. - Genesis 1:31 NIV Marie Kondo is known as one of the world’s most beloved tidying experts, and one day she convinced me that the path to inner peace would be to pull all of the clothes out of my closet and throw them on my bed to be analyzed, one by one. I had just watched the first episode of her show Tidying Up with Marie Kondo on Netflix, in which she teaches her proteges to ask this question: When I touch this item, does it spark joy? If the answer is yes, then the item gets to stay. If the answer is no, the directive is to thank the item for its service and then bid it adieu. Even if this sounds a little woo-woo, I have to say that after I had removed a great many joyless items from my wardrobe and reorganized the rest of my clothes back into the closet, I felt an internal sigh of relief. I did feel more joyful. I felt as though a burden had lifted, as though a weight I’d been unwittingly carrying around for years was suddenly gone. In 1872, John Wesley preached, “Cleanliness is, indeed, next to godliness,” and though he was talking specifically about the way a person dressed and cared for their appearance, I think he was pressing on a deeper spiritual truth, too. Cleanliness is the visual representation of order, and our Creator is, as evidenced by creation, a God of order. If you look carefully at the creation story, you will notice that God did not just bring all things into being—he also gave them each a designated spot, a boundary for existence, a specific space in which to thrive. He separated the light from the darkness, giving both their time to reign, as day and night. He gave each plant one specific fruit to bear. He told the sea how far it could go and then said, “No more.” Biblical scholar Rachel Smith describes God’s work in a way that Marie Kondo would approve of: “It (the world) was designed to run well and to be a well-ordered environment for its occupants. This is the sense of good in the creation account. Everything God created He declared good because it acted within its purpose and provided benefits” (Rest Assured: What the Creation Story Was Intended to Reveal About Trusting God, pg. 62-63). Intersecting Faith & Life: What does it mean to bear God’s image? It means to care about the things he cares about, and to reflect his character out into the world. And one of the things that God cares about is order, which creates space for life to thrive. When we enter into chaos and bring disorder back into equilibrium, we are doing the work of God. Here are some practical areas where we might do that today. In our physical spaces Declutter one area of your home. Choose a junk drawer, a closet, or a bedroom. Remove everything, and only put back what serves a purpose or, per the advice of Marie Kondo, brings joy. Give each item a designated space, and then, if you can, bring a little extra beauty to that area. Organize by color. Add flowers. Freshen with a scented sachet. Is there a time of day that feels particularly chaotic? Create a ritual to help it go more smoothly. If morning times are hectic, for example, pre-set your coffee pot the night before. Lay out your clothes. Wake up ten minutes earlier. Light a candle while you eat breakfast. See how these adjustments bring a sense of peace to what used to feel overwhelming. In our workplaces Administration may not be glamorous, but it is essential for bringing order. If you have the gift of administration—that is, organizing information, communication, and actions into systems that run smoothly—put it into practice in your workplace. Good structures help good work to thrive. Be a problem solver. If you see that something is not working and have an idea for how to fix it, say something. Be someone who steps into situations and brings clarity and excellence. In our communities Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God” (Matthew 5:9). In our communities, bringing order looks like bringing peace—to relationships, to organizations, to broken systems. When we step into disordered situations or strained relationships in our neighborhoods or even global communities, we are reflecting God’s image by bringing equilibrium. This could look as simple as serving on the PTA and being a voice of calm and reason when the meetings get heated, or it could look like serving in outreach ministries to provide for the real, everyday needs of neighbors.

DOCKET ALERTS: Pam Bondi is GTFO! But the mess she leaves will take a generation to repair. The Supreme Court paved the way to disappear Steve Bannon's conviction for contempt of Congress. Trump commands the NCAA to quit being woke. He also has thoughts about the transfer portal. MAIN SHOW: Judge Richard Leon! Preliminarily enjoins! Trump's tackyass ballroom! Administration files ridiculous appeal! Justin Baldoni is back to teach us CivPro. This time, he's largely prevailing on his motion for judgment on the pleadings, as Judge Liman dismisses ten of Blake Lively's 13 counts. Turns out, she never signed her contract, and the contract established that she was an employee, not an independent contractor. Since independent contractors can't sue for discrimination under Title VII, her harassment claims are out. And the contract had a choice of law provision that agreed to abide by California law. No contract … no automatic California law. And of course we'll break down the Supreme Court's birthright decision hearing. So many clips!

The biggest topic of discussion in Episode 15 is the difference between the “birthright” and the “blessing,” and how they are both shadows of Messiah's administration and fulfillment.Much of modern theology today treats “birthright” and “blessing” as if they are interchangeable terms and ideas, and while they are related, they are also presented in Scripture with distinct roles with different purposes and functions. By tracing these themes from the patriarchs through the prophets, we examine how the birthright relates to inheritance and the expansion of the covenant family, while the blessing relates to rulership, covenant authority, and kingship. Joseph receives the birthright, while Judah receives the scepter. The birthright belongs to inheritance, and the blessing belongs to rulership. Throughout Israel's history, these roles remain distinct until they are ultimately fulfilled and united in Messiah.This episode will shed a whole new light on “I did not come to abolish the torah, but to fulfill it...”Joseph Receives the Birthright:Joseph's life foreshadows Yahusha: rejected by his brothers, sold for silver, suffered unjustly, and later exalted to preserve life. His birthright inheritance points forward to Messiah, the true firstborn heir. The author of Hebrews declares that Yahusha is "heir of all things" and the "firstborn among many brethren." Understanding His inheritance is essential to understanding our inheritance in Him.The birthright given through Joseph (and Ephraim) reveals something much larger than we think. Ephraim's blessing of fruitfulness and branches extending “beyond their borders” points forward to the expansion of the covenant family itself. We will cover that in the next episode, Yah willing. The promise that Ephraim's seed would become a multitude of nations finds its fulfillment in Messiah, who restores scattered Israel and gathers both natural and wild branches into one covenant family.Messiah does not erase Israel's promises or redefine them or “spiritualize them” to the “church.” He fulfills them. And through Him, the inheritance promised in Scripture expands exactly as the prophets foretold.Blessing to Abraham, carried through Judah, confirmed in David, fulfilled in Messiah—the promised “Seed”:This episode will also discuss the blessing given through Abraham, carried through Judah, confirmed in David, and fulfilled in Yahusha. Scripture reveals a covenant promise that we have covered in detail so far: a coming “Seed” who would inherit the throne forever, bless all families, and rule the nations. This is the blessing fulfilled in Messiah's kingship.From Genesis 49's prophecy of Shiloh to the Davidic Covenant, from Zion and Shiloh to the restoration of the fallen Tabernacle of David, my hope is that we can more clearly trace the prophetic thread that points to the One who would bring together what had been divided. There is so much more I want to say about the significance of this episode. The birthright belongs to Joseph/Ephraim. The kingship belongs to Judah. The priesthood belongs to Levi.No single tribe could lawfully hold all three positions. That is why Messiah ministers according to the order of Melchizedek.As King, Priest, and Heir, Yahusha alone fulfills the birthright, the blessing, and the priesthood without abolishing or redefining ANY of them. Through Him, inheritance, covenant, and priestly service are united under a higher administration. This is how believers inherit through Messiah without replacing Israel. In this study, we examine how these shadows/patterns reveal the gospel, magnify the promises made to Abraham, and help us understand what it means to be part of the assembly of the true Firstborn (Hebrews 12:22-23).
