This week we talk about Trump's tariffs, the Supreme Court, and negotiating leverage.We also discuss trade wars, Greenland, and the IEEPA.Recommended Book: Smoke and Ashes by Amitav GhoshTranscriptI've spoken on this show before about tariffs and about US President Trump's enthusiasm for tariffs as an underpinning of his trade policy. Last October, back in 2025 I did an episode on tariff leverage and why the concept of an ongoing trade war is so appealing to Trump—it basically gives him a large whammy on anyone he enters negotiations with, because the US market is massive and everyone wants access to it, and tariffs allow him to bring the hammer down on anyone he doesn't like, or who doesn't kowtow in what he deems to be an appropriate manner.So he can slap a large tariff on steel or pharmaceuticals or cars from whichever country he likes just before he enters negotiations with that country, and then those negotiations open with him in an advantageous spot: they have to give him things just to get those tariffs to go away—they have to negotiate just to get things back to square one.That's how it's supposed to work, anyway. What we talked about a bit back in October is TACO theory, TACO standing for Trump Always Chickens Out—the idea is that other world leaders had gotten wise to Trump's strategy, which hasn't changed since his first administration, and he has mostly been a doubling-down on that one, primary approach, to the point that they can step into these negotiations, come up with something to give him that allows him to claim that he's won, to make it look like he negotiated well, and then they get things back down to a more reasonable level; maybe not square one, but not anything world-ending, and not anything they weren't prepared and happy to give up.In some cases, though, instead of kowtowing in this way so that Trump can claim a victory, whether or not a victory was actually tallied, some countries and industries and the businesses that make up those industries have simply packed up their ball and gone home.China has long served as a counterbalance to the US in terms of being a desirable market and a hugely influential player across basically every aspect of geopolitics and the global economy, and this oppositional, antagonistic approach to trade has made the US less appealing as a trade partner, and China more appealing in comparison.So some of these entities have negotiated to a level where they could still ship their stuff to the US and US citizens would still be willing to pay what amounts to an extra tax on all these goods, because that's how tariffs work, that fee is paid by the consumers, not by the businesses or the origin countries, but others have given up and redirected their goods to other places. And while that's a big lift sometimes, the persistence of this aggression and antagonism has made it a worthwhile investment for many of these entities, because the US has become so unpredictable and unreliable that it's just not worth the headache anymore.What I'd like to talk about today is a recent Supreme Court decision related to Trump's tariffs, and what looks likely to happen next, in the wake of that ruling.—Ever since Trump stepped back into office for his second term, in January of 2025, he has aggressively instilled new and ever-growing tariffs on basically everyone, but on some of the US's most important trade partners, like Mexico and Canada, in particular.These tariffs have varied and compounded, and they've applied to strategic goods that many US presidents have tried to hobble in various ways, favoring US-made versions of steel and microchips, for instance, so that local makers of these things have an advantage over their foreign-made alternatives, or have a more balanced shot against alternatives made in parts of the world where labor is cheaper and standards are different.But this new wave of tariffs were broad based, hitting everyone to some degree, and that pain was often taken away, at least a little, after leaders kowtowed, at times even giving him literal gold-plated gifts in order to curry favor, and/or funneling money into his family's private companies and other interests, allowing him to use these tariffs as leverage for personal gain, not just national advantage, in other cases giving him what at least looked outwardly to be a negotiating win.Things spiraled pretty quickly by mid-2025, when China pushed back against these tariffs, adding their own reciprocal tariffs on US goods, and at one point extra duties on Chinese imports coming into the US hit 145%.Shortly thereafter, though, and here we see that TACO acronym proving true, once again, Trump agreed to slash these tariffs for 90 days, and around the same time, in May of 2025, a federal appeals court temporarily reinstated some of Trump's largest-scale tariffs after a lower court ruled that they couldn't persist.The remainder of 2025 was a story of Trump trying to strike individual deals with a bunch of trade partners, like South Korea, Indonesia, and India, in some cases via direct negotiation, in others with a bunch of threats that eventually led to a sort of mutual standoff that no one was particularly happy about.2026 was greeted with a threat by Trump to impose a huge wave of new tariffs on eight major European allies, those tariffs sticking around until these nations agreed to allow the US to buy Greenland, which was an obsession of Trump's at that point, but a lot of Trump's tariff posturing was derailed by a Supreme Court decision that landed in mid-February, in which the justices decided, 6 to 3, that Trump's reciprocal tariffs are unconstitutional, as setting and changing tariffs is a Congressional power, not a Presidential one.This was a serious blow to Trump and his stated policies, as pretty much all of his economic plans oriented around the idea—which most economists have said is bunk and based on fantasy, not reality, but still—that putting a bunch of tariffs on everything will allow the US to earn so much additional revenue that the deficit can be paid down.It's worth noting here that, just as those economists predicted, the deficit has only gotten larger under both Trump administrations, and in fact the growth of the US debt has sped up, not declined, despite the additional billions being pulled into government coffers by these tariffs, because the Trump administration's spending is massive, and because the losses related to tariffs are also significant. But tariffs remain center to his policy nonetheless, so this was a major blow.This ruling also seemed likely to defang a lot of Trump's threats and drain his leverage at the negotiating table, as he could no longer threaten everyone with more tariffs, practically booting them from or weakening them on the US market.So Trump was pissed, and as he tends to do, he publicly raged about the decision, which was made by a Supreme Court that is heavily stacked in his favor; which gives an indication of just how unpopular and unconstitutional all of this has been.But immediately after that decision landed, he announced that, using alternative authorities—different powers—he would be imposing a blanket 10% tariff on everything coming into the US, and the following day announced that it would be a 15% tariff on everything, instead.This does seem to be something Trump has the power to do, but he can only do it under the auspices of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA, and these tariffs will only last for 150 days, max, and might also be challenged in court.Also notably, some entities, like Britain and Australia, will face higher rates than they faced under the previous tariff setup, because of how they are applied and compound with other trade barriers, or the nature of what they export to the US market, while others, including China, will see their tariffs substantially drop.Which could make things tricky, as that implies some of the previously negotiated deals have changed post-deal, or in some cases mid-negotiation; which means a lot more work to get things where everyone wants them, but also a loss of legitimacy and credibility for this administration, as they seem to be negotiating using powers they don't actually have and making promises they can't keep.All of which, rather than simplifying and clarifying things for the US market and our international trade partners, actually further complicates them, at least for now, until the dust settles.It does seem likely Trump's administration will continue to try to leverage whatever power they can in this matter, grabbing at levers that haven't been previously used, or used in this way, and those attempts will almost certainly be legally challenged, which could lead to more court cases, and a lot more uncertainty in the meantime, until those cases are figured it.It's also created new rifts within the Republican party, as Trump seems to be going after those who voted against his tariffs, or in any other way supported their removal, and he's raged against the Supreme Court justices, even those he put into place and who are ideologically aligned with the Republican party almost always, which could also lead to more fracturing within his base, leading up to the November 2026 Congressional elections.One more thing that's worth noting here is that Trump's usual tactic of trying to distract from things he doesn't want people to pay attention to is in full operation following this court case: as all this has been happening, and against the backdrop of increasingly serious allegations related to his abundant presence in the Epstein files, he's been talking more about potentially attacking Iran and releasing files on aliens, on extraterrestrials on Earth and in the US.So we're likely to see a lot more of that sort of thing in the coming months, especially if things continue to not go his way in regards to these tariffs and the hubbub surrounding them, but this story will shape global and US economics for years to come, not to mention on-the-ground realities for many people today, which should substantially impact Trump's popularity and voter behavior come November.Show Noteshttps://www.axios.com/2026/02/20/supreme-court-trump-energy-tariffshttps://www.axios.com/2026/02/20/trump-tariff-plan-section-122-trade-acthttps://www.axios.com/2026/02/20/trump-scotus-tariff-refund-battlehttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/business/economy/trump-tariffs-trade-war.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/22/business/trump-tariffs-japan-indonesia.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/20/us/politics/supreme-court-trump-tariffs-takeaways.htmlhttps://apnews.com/live/supreme-court-tariff-ruling-updateshttps://www.bbc.com/news/live/c0l9r67drg7thttps://heatmap.news/economy/clean-energy-tariff-rulinghttps://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/02/20/us/trump-tariffs-supreme-courthttps://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/02/supreme-court-blocks-trumps-emergency-tariffs-billions-in-refunds-may-be-owed/https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/20/what-will-happen-to-trump-tariffs-after-supreme-court-verdicthttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/business/economy/tariffs-supreme-court-global-busines-reaction.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/business/trump-deminimis-loophole-closed.htmlhttps://www.axios.com/newsletters/axios-am-5b34aa80-2020-453a-bef1-8cf648e9b3c3.htmlhttps://www.axios.com/2026/02/20/trump-tariff-plan-section-122-trade-acthttps://www.scotusblog.com/2026/02/supreme-court-strikes-down-tariffs/https://www.wsj.com/opinion/donald-trump-supreme-court-tariffs-ieepa-john-roberts-brett-kavanaugh-90daf559https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25pdf/24-1287_4gcj.pdfhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/us/politics/supreme-court-tariffs-conservatives.htmlhttps://www.wsj.com/economy/u-s-manufacturing-is-in-retreat-and-trumps-tariffs-arent-helping-d2af4316https://budgetlab.yale.edu/research/state-us-tariffs-scotus-ruling-updatehttps://www.kielinstitut.de/fileadmin/Dateiverwaltung/IfW-Publications/fis-import/92fb3f30-07b8-4dcf-b2bc-fbefb831f1a1-KPB201_EN.pdfhttps://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2026/02/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-imposes-a-temporary-import-duty-to-address-fundamental-international-payment-problems/https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/tariff-refunds-supreme-court-trump-rcna259968https://www.wsj.com/opinion/its-the-end-of-the-beginning-of-the-tariff-war-88a08d37https://www.axios.com/2026/02/21/trump-tariff-supreme-court-increasehttps://www.axios.com/2026/02/21/alien-files-conspiracy-theories-usa This is a public episode.

Ever feel like you're drowning—underwater, overwhelmed, and out of options? Psalm 130 reminds us that crying out from the depths isn't weakness—it's exactly where breakthrough begins. When we finally stop trying to fix everything ourselves and call out to God, that's when real transformation starts.The Psalmist knew what we often forget: God doesn't keep a record of our failures. He runs toward us at our worst, not away from us. And in those dark seasons of waiting—when you're like a watchman desperately longing for morning—God is preparing something in you that productivity could never produce.If you're in a tough season and don't know how to pray, Psalm 130 can pray for you. Let these ancient words shape your heart this week: "Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord...in your word I put my hope." Because with the Lord is unfailing love, and with Him is full redemption.

Jessi Marcus Out of the Ashes: Week 1, Reduced to Ash Job 1:1-5, Psalm 1, Job 1:6-12, Job 1:20-22 website: jacobswellchurch.org facebook: jacobswellkc twitter: @jacobswell

It's a unique moment in the Islamic and Christian calendars as the seasons of Ramadan and Lent coincide.Fasting is central to both, so this morning we are examining the role of fasting in today's world. Whether for spiritual reasons or wellness and lifestyle reasons: Is it a sacred path to renewal and wellness? Audrey speaks to Dr Naomi Green, Dr Tina Beattie and Pastor Andrew Gibson.The Presbyterian Church in Ireland held a second special meeting of its general assembly on Wednesday - in response to the safeguarding scandal which has engulfed the church since its moderator and clerk the Reverend Dr Trevor Gribben resigned in November. Alan Meban reports from the Assembly and former Moderator Rev Dr Norman Hamilton gives his response.And is this the way forward? Jim Deeds joins the drive through queue to get Ashes at a North Belfast Church and finds himself surprisingly moved and blessed by the experience.

As we conclude our series in Ruth, we see how God brings Naomi's story full circle — from bitterness and loss to joy and restoration. What began with famine, funerals, and hopelessness ends with new life, legacy, and a place in the lineage of the Messiah. In this message, we discover that God does not erase our pain, but He rewrites our endings. Even when we feel stuck in the ashes, God is still writing, still restoring, and still turning sorrow into joy. Ashes are not the end of the story — joy is.

Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return(Imposition of Ashes, from Genesis 3:19). “Who knows, whether God may turn and relent and turn from his fierce anger” (Jonah 3:9)? We know. Faith believes that, for Christ's sake, “a broken and contrite heart our God will not despise” (Psalm 51:17). He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love (Joel 2:13); therefore, we do not hesitate to return to him with all our heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning” (v.12). He raises the dead, as we shall see in forty days' time. Satan opposes such reconciliation and life. He would twist our discipline into self-serving pride (Matthew 6:1–12), leading us into unbelief and unfruitfulness until we fall from the Lord's precious and very great promises (2 Peter 1:4, 8). For this reason, our Lenten discipline not only gives something up but also takes up the sustenance and exercise of faith: hearing His Word and turning from ourselves—to God in prayer and to our neighbor with charity. Make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, knowledge, self-control, steadfastness, godliness, brotherly affection and love” (v. 5–7).   Lectionary summary © 2021 The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageLent doesn't open with a pep talk; it starts with ashes and the hard grace of honesty. We map a clear, three-step journey that trades vague resolutions for substance: Dante's Inferno to see sin in sharp relief, Father John Burns' Lift Up Your Heart to walk into repentance with trust, and Thomas à Kempis' The Imitation of Christ to practice quiet, durable holiness. Along the way, we sit with unforgettable Dante scenes that act like moral X-rays, explore why indifference is never neutral, and learn how a holy hatred of sin grows from mercy, not pride.Then we shift from diagnosis to accompaniment. Drawing on St. Francis de Sales, Fr. Burns offers a ten-day retreat you can repeat or stretch across the season. We talk about how to handle dryness, shame, and the stumbles that usually derail good intentions, reframing repentance as a steady return rather than a flawless run. Each day ends with one small response—an honest prayer, a concrete work of mercy, a needed apology—so transformation becomes practical and repeatable.Finally, we anchor life in the hidden path of The Imitation of Christ. Humility over spectacle. Detachment over approval. Union with Jesus, especially in the Eucharist, over restless striving. You'll leave with a simple plan: a few cantos of Inferno each week with an examen, a short retreat reading with one action, and a one-page chapter from à Kempis with three focused questions for your next 24 hours. Start with all three, or just begin with one. Ashes clear our sight; grace carries us forward; daily fidelity makes it stick.If this path helps you begin again, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review to help others find the show. What's the first small step you'll take today?Key Points from the Episode:• Lent beginning with ashes and clarity about sin• Dante's Inferno as moral X-ray of disordered love• Practical weekly reading and examen prompts• Father John Burns' 10-day retreat as trusted guide• Repentance as trusting return after failure• Daily small responses: prayer, mercy, confession• The Imitation of Christ on humility and detachment• One chapter a day with three reflective questions• Integrating diagnosis, accompaniment, imitation• Start small, begin where you are, keep returningBe sure to check out our show page at teammojocademy.com, where we have everything we discussed in this podcast as well as other great resourcesOther resources: Want to leave a review?

Ash Wednesday 2026 - Dust and Ashes by Fr. Josh Waltz

This week on 7 Minute Stories, Aaron reflects on loss, legacy, and the fragile weight of being human. From the passing of cultural icons like James Van Der Beek and Robert Duvall to the deeply personal grief of losing his uncle and cousin—both Cleveland firefighters who ran toward danger for a living—this episode explores the difference between distant loss and the kind that reshapes you. Recorded on Ash Wednesday, “Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust” wrestles with mortality, memory, and a question Aaron first asked at age 12: When the body stops, does everything stop? Or are we more like radios—receivers of something that continues beyond us?

In this exclusive best of episode, I sit down with Andrew Collins, author of the new book "Karahan Tepe: Civilization of the Anunnaki and the Cosmic Origins of the Serpent of Eden." This book is Andrew's two-decade long quest to understand this sister site of Göbekli Tepe. Explaining how Karahan Tepe functioned as a shamanic centre for oracular communications, Andrew shows how the site's rock-cut structures were used to connect with the Galactic bulge and stars of Scorpius in their role as, respectively, the head and active spirit of a world-encircling snake identified with the entire length of the Milky Way. He traces this serpent motif throughout history, identifying it with the biblical serpent of Eden, the Kundalini of Vedic tradition, and the black snake of the Yezidis. He shows also how the founders of Karahan Tepe were recalled in Hebrew myth and legend as the Watchers and Nephilim and in Sumerian and Babylonian mythology as the Anunnaki. These then were the true founders behind Taş Tepeler, the world's first post ice age civilization, a subject he has championed since the writing of his seminal work “From the Ashes of Angels” in 1995, penned as the first spades were going into the ground at Göbekli Tepe.GET ANDREW'S BOOKJOIN ME ON A TOUR

It's Ash Wednesday, which means reflection, sacrifice, fish fries… and Lern voluntarily giving up the F-word for 40 days. Yes. You read that correctly. On this daily comedy show, we kick things off by diving into Lent traditions, Catholic guilt, church fish fries (shoutout to “God's Cod”), and whether giving up profanity might actually make you physically weaker. Because apparently science says swearing makes you stronger — and now Lern's about to lose all upper body strength by Easter.We debate what to give up for Lent (Scott's belly button habit, Moon's post-7PM snack raids, Rizz attempting “gratitude”), and somehow spiral into a full breakdown of whether profanity is vulgar… or if being a jerk without swearing is worse. It's spiritual growth but make it chaotic.Then things take a hard left turn into mall culture. Is the Galleria officially the worst mall in St. Louis? Is West County Mall thriving while the others crumble into ghost-town sadness? Why does one wing smell like sewer regret? We unpack mall nostalgia, aging into adulthood, and the emotional trauma of Panera closing. This is the hard-hitting journalism you expect from your favorite daily comedy show.But wait. We're not done spiraling.Lern announces she's attending a green burial seminar at the Missouri Botanical Garden because she wants to be composted. Not buried. Not traditionally cremated. Composted. Naturally, this leads to arguments about “rot boxes,” raccoons, methane, and whether microbes need to be burped like kombucha. Completely normal morning show behavior.And just when you think we've peaked? Dementia Village.We discover there's a real-life European concept where memory care patients live in a simulated neighborhood with shops and restaurants instead of sterile hallways — and we immediately decide that's where The Rizzuto Show retires together. But then Rafe plants the intrusive thought that maybe one of us already has dementia… and this entire show is just a memory loop inside a Wisconsin nursing home.So yeah. Totally standard Wednesday for a daily comedy show.If you came for Lent talk, mall drama, green burial debates, and existential dread disguised as humor — welcome home.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

“Is Receiving Ashes Against Scripture? This question opens a discussion on the intersection of faith and politics, addressing concerns about the implications of such support. Other topics include the challenge of serving both God and money, and the complexities of identity in faith, such as navigating historical claims about the papacy and exploring the differences between Catholicism and Orthodoxy. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 03:12 – Reading not doing public penance, but then we get big ashes on our heads. 09:23 – Jesus said you can't serve God and money. Is it contrary to being a christian for a Church to support a political party or movement? 18:38 – Isn't it condescending to ask the question, why aren't you Catholic? You're asking, why aren't you one of us? Wouldn't it be better to ask who raised you to be the faith you are? 40:56 – 1689 London Baptist confession of faith claims the pope is the Anti-Christ, how do I navigate that as a non-Catholic? 51:52 – I'm looking into Catholicism and Orthodoxy. What’s the Catholic response to the claim that Rome used to be orthodox before the great schism?

“Can non-Catholics receive ashes?” This question opens a discussion on the significance of rituals in the Catholic faith. Other topics include the differences between Catholic Mass and Protestant services, the removal of certain feast days from the calendar, and the meaning behind the priest adding a drop of water to the wine.

How do I sum up the differences between a Catholic mass and a protestant service and why it’s important? 12:44 – In the new calendar we removed feast days of saints. Why did that happen and did it undermine papal authority? 16:58 – How can the bread turn into the body and the wine turn into the blood? 21:50 – Iowa Catholic Radio. Why does the priest add a drop of water into the wine? 28:47 – Are the SSPX in communion with Rome? What do you say to someone who goes to those masses? 34:28 – Can you emphasize why our Catholic rituals have meaning? 43:49 – Why does the eucharist have to be celebrated at every mass if it’s only required once a year? 51:14 – My priest changes words during the mass.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260218dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified. But Jesus came and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Don’t be afraid.” Matthew 17:6-7 Ashes and Hope Today, the season called Lent begins. Lent is the forty-day journey leading up to Easter. It’s a season when Christians slow down and focus on why Jesus came. We examine why he suffered, why he died, and why he rose again. Lent starts with a day called Ash Wednesday. Ash Wednesday reminds us of something we don’t like to think about. That we are dust. And to dust we will return. That sounds grim. And it is. But it’s also honest. Jesus’ three disciples had an honest moment, too. When they heard God’s voice on the mountain, they fell facedown, terrified. They couldn’t handle it. And then Matthew gives us one of the most comforting sentences in the Bible: “But Jesus came and touched them.” Jesus didn't stay far away. He didn't wait for them to get brave. He came close. And he said, “Get up. Don’t be afraid.” That’s what Lent is about. It’s not about you proving yourself to God. It’s about Jesus coming close to you. And then Jesus did something even bigger. He came down from the mountain because he had another hill to climb. A cross to carry. He went there for sinners. For weak people. For dust-people like us. Ash Wednesday reminds you that you will die. But Jesus reminds you he died and rose again for you. So, the ashes aren’t the end of your story. Jesus is. Prayer: Lord Jesus, on this Ash Wednesday, remind me that I am dust, but I am not forgotten. You came close, you carried my sin, and you defeated death. Give me hope in your unfailing promises. Amen.

Want to reach out to us? Want to leave a comment or review? Want to give us a suggestion or berate Anthony? Send us a text by clicking this link!Ashes signal a beginning, not an ending. We open Lent by choosing a clear path: daily readings from Divine Intimacy and a simple, sturdy way to pray that draws us into God's love without performance. The Teresian method becomes our map—presence, reading, meditation, colloquy—so prayer shifts from theory to encounter. Instead of grand gestures, we aim for honest conversation with the One who already loves us, letting doctrine nourish devotion and guide the heart.From the very start, the message is sharp: remember you are dust. That truth doesn't crush; it clarifies. We talk about mortality as a gift that resets priorities, nudging us to detach from what fades and choose what lasts—charity, fidelity, and a steady pursuit of holiness. Then we turn to penance with the nuance it deserves. Fasting and abstinence matter, but only as signs of a deeper conversion. Rend hearts, not garments. Keep sacrifices hidden, mortify self-love first, and let humility give your practices weight. We break down the basics—Ash Wednesday and Good Friday fasting, Friday abstinence in Lent—and gently challenge you to go beyond the bare minimum if health allows. Detachment reveals desire; desire finds God.Along the way, we stay practical and pastoral. Keep Sundays free from fasting. If a fuller abstinence helps, keep it. Pair fasting with daily, focused prayer; use the colloquy to turn belief into love. Revisit the Cross through the Stations. If you need inspiration, the saints are close at hand—Teresa, Thérèse, John of the Cross—teaching us to build intimacy on solid ground. Our goal isn't a tougher checklist but a truer heart, one that moves from ashes to Easter with purpose.Want to journey with us?

He really is one of our favourites, and he returns for a thoughtful and revealing Next Chapter conversation. We move beyond the traditional player story (you can also catch him in episode 73), Vaughany reflects on leadership, resilience, health, and the personal experiences that have shaped his life after cricket. He delivers a sharp take on the Ashes, discusses professionalism, team culture, and why England’s future may be closer than many think. There is clear affection when he speaks about Australia, but the episode also explores very serious moments. Honest, measured, and insightful, this is Vaughany at his most reflective. And we love him for it. *** Follow the Howie Games on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/ Follow the Howie Games on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegames See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send me a text. Ash Wednesday is here. If you see someone walking around with ashes that look like a cross or like a smudge then they might be a Christian Catholic or Christian or they have been cleaning a chimney.

What does real repentance actually look like? In 2 Kings 6–7, King Jehoram tears his clothes and wears sackcloth. On the outside, it looks like humility. It looks like repentance. It looks like sorrow. But is his heart truly broken before God? In this powerful episode, we walk through one of the most intense passages in Scripture. A city under siege. Famine so severe it turns horrific. A king who appears repentant. And yet, beneath the outward display, something else is happening in his heart. This message confronts a hard but necessary question: Are we truly surrendered to God, or are we trying to follow a formula to get what we want? We'll explore: The difference between true repentance and religious performanceWhy outward sorrow does not always mean inward surrenderThe danger of saying, “Why should I wait on the Lord any longer?”What Luke 8 reveals about the soil of our heartsWhy God's timing tests our trust This is a word for the Church right now. It is also a word for each of us personally. Truth exposes. But truth also sets us free.
