Fr. Michael Copenhagen is a Melkite (Eastern Catholic) priest, husband, and father at St. Nicholas the Wonderworker Melkite Catholic Church in Gates, New York. He holds a Bachelor's of Sacred Theology from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome. In Today's Show: Our Lord tells us to forgive. How much can we forgive without becoming a doormat? What is the difference between being gullible and being forgiving? What commandment does ingratitude towards God break? If a criminal dies right after baptism, and doesn't commit any other sins, will they enter directly into heaven or spend some time in purgatory? What's Father Copenhagen's advice on the epidemic of MGTOW men going their own way and avoiding marriage and children? They claim they want to live in peace and tranquility without getting fleeced in divorce court. What's up with the Oriental Orthodox Churches? They seem suspicious… are their practices acceptable? It seems Kabbalistic. A priest in town has a very thick accent that makes his sermon hard to understand. His sermons sound very Lutheran, saying that we should only pray to Jesus and to not pray to the saints or the rosary. Should I say something about this? I want to write my thesis on some aspect of St. John Chrysostom's thought, but I can't think of anything. I know that in his time there was no systematic theology, so I wanted to ask for your opinion to give me some ideas. I read in one book that your Guardian Angel is assigned at the moment of conception, while in another book I read that it happens at the moment of birth. In the latter case, the book said the baby is under the protection of the mother's Guardian Angel from conception to birth. So which is correct?

We spend years building a career, following a path that looks impressive, the one everyone tells you matters. Then one day you stop and ask yourself: is this actually my life, or the life that was assigned to me? Joe Wearmouth spent almost 20 years as a federal attorney, including work for the Department of Homeland Security and the Justice Department, before walking away to research and write about the American Revolution. He joins host Sreemedha to talk about the quiet signals he ignored for years, what it actually took to leave, and why chasing external validation rarely leads anywhere good. About the Guest: Joe Wearmouth practiced law for nearly two decades, including as a federal prosecutor for the U.S. Department of Justice and an attorney for the Department of Homeland Security. He now writes historical fiction set during the American Revolution, including his novel Rising Sons, and works as a freelance attorney in El Paso, Texas. Key Takeaways: You can build an impressive career on external validation and still feel miserable doing it, every single day. The feeling that something isn't right rarely goes away on its own, most people know deep down and simply fight against it. Change doesn't require jumping off a ledge, start by figuring out what you want to spend your day doing, then figure out how to make that profitable. Doubt doesn't mean you made the wrong call, it's often a sign you're doing something that actually matters to you. A stable job you leave will likely still be there in some form if things don't work out, so the risk is often smaller than it feels.

Full Text of Readings Thursday of the Nineteenth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 416 The Saint of the day is Blessed Michael J. McGivney Blessed Michael McGivney's Story The eldest son of an immigrant Irish family in Connecticut, young Michael left school at 13 to work in a brass factory making spoons. At 16 Michael J. McGivney began studies for the priesthood in Quebec, but was obliged to leave to help support the family when his father died. Michael completed his education in Baltimore, Maryland, and was ordained for the diocese of Hartford in 1877. Assigned to St. Mary's Parish in New Haven, Michael J. McGivney was very active in parish and civic affairs, serving as director of public plays and fairs. He volunteered to become the guardian of Alfred Downes, a minor whose father had died leaving a large family in poverty. This situation as well as his own family's circumstances and that of other immigrants impressed on Fr. McGivney the need for lay Catholic men to establish a mutual aid society to provide financial assistance for their families if the primary wage earner died. Protestant fraternal groups already provided this type of life insurance protection for their members. In 1882, Michael J. McGivney formed the Knights of Columbus among a small group of St. Mary's parishioners to promote charity, unity, and fraternity, assisting widows and orphans. Because of the Knights' emphasis on serving Church, community and family, the organization grew and did not remain strictly parish-based. Patriotism was added as a founding principle in 1900. Michael J. McGivney died from pneumonia in 1890 and was buried in Waterbury, Connecticut. Later his body was moved back to St. Mary's in New Haven where it remains today. He was beatified in 2020. Reflection Michael Joseph McGivney was a genuine pastor who, in the words of Pope Francis, was unafraid to share “the smell of his sheep.” He promoted families whose members were strong in their faith expressed through generous following of the corporal and spiritual works of mercy. In a decree read at the beatification Mass, Pope Francis praised Fr. McGivney's “zeal and the proclamation of the Gospel and generous concern for his brothers and sisters.” These “made him an outstanding witness of Christian solidarity and fraternal assistance.”Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media
What if every door that ever opened for you started with a message you almost didn't send? In this episode, Susanne Sandler, SVP and GM of Fintech at Mews, a $2.5 billion global hotel technology company, shares how a bold application as a college sophomore led her into the office of the CFO of Merrill Lynch, and how a cold message to a keynote speaker years later led to six years working alongside the future CEO of Booking Holdings. Susanne runs the fintech division at Mews, which accounts for 75% of company revenue. But the principles that drive how she leads trace back to two men who saw her potential before she did, and to one simple belief: you miss 100% of the shots you don't take. [00:03:48] What She Does and Who She Serves SVP and GM of Fintech at Mews, a $2.5 billion global vertical SaaS company Mews calls itself the operating system for modern hotels Runs the fintech business, which is about 75% of company revenue [00:04:30] Who Mews Serves Serves everything from small mom and pop hotels to large global chains Partnerships with Best Western, Choice, and the Asian American Hotel Owners Association AHOA members make up about 60% of US hotels [00:05:30] What Inspires Her Travel is where people have their most memorable experiences Most people name a trip when asked about their best moments of the year Mews removes the manual work so hotels can focus on the guest experience [00:06:48] How She Got Here Started her career in financial services and investing in financial companies Won her undergraduate business plan competition and launched a tech startup in New York The last 12 to 13 years have been focused on travel tech and fintech Says she feels lucky every day doing work that combines both passions [00:08:17] Client Impact: The Multi-Currency Win Launched a product letting hotels offer FX services to guests Guests can lock in their price in their own currency Hotels now earn markup revenue that previously went to banks and card networks Some hotels cover the full cost of all their Mews services from this product alone [00:10:52] AI at Mews: Thoughtful, Not Trendy Building a semantic data layer combining guest, property, and payments data The goal is better insights and experiences, not just cutting headcount Early results from the approach have been incredible [00:12:11] The Vision for Fintech at Mews Wants to build a holistic financial suite for hotels Expanding beyond payments into accounts, loans, and supplier payments Everything is deeply embedded and connected to hotel data [00:13:27] Why Hospitality Is Underserved Hotels have seasonal cash flow that banks struggle to understand Mews holds all bookings data plus a revenue management system That gives a full forward-looking picture of the business Underwriting becomes far easier than a bank reading old financial statements [00:15:08] The First Relationship That Changed Everything Saw an internship posting at NYU Stern for the CFO of Merrill Lynch Assumed it couldn't be the real CFO; applied anyway Walked in thinking worst case she meets someone impressive, best case she gets the job A short-term role became over two years with growing hours and responsibility [00:17:54] What She Learned from Him Finding people who believe in you and see your potential is everything Learned resilience by working under constant high-pressure stakes He was precise and held her fully accountable for her numbers People still compliment her composure; she credits that early training [00:20:24] Treating Every Human with Respect Watched him treat the person cleaning his office the same as a head of state He did it because it was right, not for gain That taught her the kind of person she wanted to become as she grew senior [00:21:31] How He Set Her Up After College He opened doors to meetings with teams across Merrill Lynch She still had to prove herself and work the grueling hours Landed a role investing in equity, debt, and early fintech companies That first role set the tone for the next 20 years [00:25:02] What Makes Mentorship Actually Work Both sides have to invest in the relationship Assigned mentorships often fail; organic ones tend to succeed Nobody owes you anything; it is all give and take [00:26:13] The Second Relationship: Glenn Fogel Saw Glenn deliver a keynote at a conference in 2013 and was blown away He told the story of rebuilding Priceline after the dot-com crash The company is now Booking Holdings with a $135 billion market cap [00:28:18] The Cold Message That Changed Her Career Reached out just to tell him the presentation was incredible He responded, they talked, and he ended up hiring her She worked with him and his team for over six years [00:29:08] What She Learned from Glenn Got a front row seat as he became CEO of Booking Holdings in 2017 Was handed some of the most critical projects for the business Learned what leadership looks like at the highest level Left only because she had learned enough to run a company at IAC [00:31:26] You Miss 100% of the Shots You Don't Take For every story that worked, there are hundreds that went nowhere She repeats the Gretzky line whenever imposter syndrome shows up There is almost no downside to taking the shot [00:33:10] Why Glenn Still Makes Time Even as a global CEO, he finds time for people who reach out He has never become overconfident or self-important He continues supporting people who did right by him Relationships become exponentially more valuable as both people grow KEY QUOTES "Finding those people who believe in you and see potential in you, I would say, is so important." - Susanne Sandler "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

Harry Sidebottom explores the world of Roman gladiators, describing the Colosseum as a building that reinforced social hierarchy through strictly assigned seating. The day's events began with a stylized procession representing Roman dominance over nature and foreign lands. Sidebottom highlights Emperor Commodus, who was genuinely obsessed with fighting in the arena, a choice that earned him animosity from the Senate. The schedule included beast hunts in the morning and gruesome midday executions of criminals, which were often staged as mythological plays. While some scholars view the martyrdom of Christians like Perpetua as literary propaganda, Sidebottom details the intense physical strain and strict rules enforced by referees during paired combat. The gladiatorial games eventually disappeared in the fifth century as the cultural and moral outlook of Rome shifted. (6)

A leadership title may assign responsibility, but it does not automatically earn trust. In this episode of The Nonprofit Exchange, Hugh Ballou talks with Neill Marshall and Kurt Mosley of Health Search Partners about why the first 90 days of a new leadership role can shape an executive's long-term credibility and legacy. Drawing from decades of executive search experience and hundreds of senior-level placements, Neill and Kurt explain the difference between assigned authority and earned authority. Assigned authority comes with the title. Earned authority develops through consistent behavior, humility, competence, listening, visibility, and follow-through. The conversation explores why leaders should move with urgency without becoming reckless. New executives often feel pressured to introduce strategic plans, restructure teams, or demonstrate immediate results. However, the most effective leaders take time to understand the organization, its culture, its people, and the problems employees experience every day. Through practical stories from healthcare leadership, Neill and Kurt illustrate the power of visible symbolic actions, honest communication, personal accessibility, and listening throughout the organization—not only to board members and senior executives. They also discuss why leaders must ensure that their actions match their words, acknowledge mistakes openly, and avoid relying on information from the same small group of people. Listeners will learn how to recognize whether trust is developing, when an organization is ready for change, and why moving too quickly can leave a leader isolated. The episode also offers valuable guidance for nonprofit boards and search committees seeking leaders who can do more than present strong credentials—they must be able to build relationships, understand culture, and earn the commitment of the people they lead. The central lesson is clear: assigned authority may open the door, but earned authority is built through listening, consistent behavior, meaningful early actions, and promises kept. Why the first 90 days matter Assigned authority versus earned authority How to be quick without hurrying Listening before leading change Why visible behavior matters more than announcements Building trust before pursuing performance The importance of transparency and admitting mistakes Warning signs that a new leader is moving too fast What boards and search committees should consider beyond a résumé Learn more about Neill Marshall, Kurt Mosley, and Health Search Partners at https://healthsearchpartners.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Marine Corps veteran Keith Johnson served as an electronics surveillance operator during the Vietnam era, intercepting Russian military communications from a highly classified communications center in Morocco. Assigned to 2nd Radio Battalion, Keith monitored the Russian Black Sea Fleet while working inside a facility containing sensitive military intelligence, classified messages, and enormous quantities of explosives.But Keith's Marine Corps story didn't begin at boot camp…It began with a brutal childhood in Chicago.At only six years old, Keith sat in a courtroom and testified against the stepfather who had violently beaten his mother. He grew up surrounded by alcoholism, abuse, street violence, broken trust, and moments that would remain burned into his memory for the rest of his life.And somehow… he refused to let any of it destroy what was good in him.In today's Urban Valor episode, Keith shares how he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, became a squad leader during boot camp, stood against violent “blanket parties,” and discovered that real leadership wasn't always about using more force.Sometimes, strength meant protecting the person everyone else wanted to punish.Keith later became a Marine Corps electronics surveillance operator with a top-secret security clearance. While many of his friends received orders to Vietnam, Keith was sent to North Africa, where he helped process sensitive military communications and intercept activity from the Russian Black Sea Fleet during the Cold War.His stories range from the deadly serious…To a care package filled with popcorn and mold-covered pepperoni that somehow became a feast for an entire barracks.Yeah… this interview takes a few turns.Keith also opens up about heartbreak, anger, faith, suicidal thoughts, brotherhood, and the deeper reason he believes he was prevented from going to Vietnam.Today, he continues serving others through prison ministry, Bible studies, veteran organizations, scholarships, military funerals, and support for people who feel like society has left them behind.This isn't simply a Marine Corps story.It's a story about surviving violence without becoming consumed by it…Leading without abandoning people…Finding purpose after pain…And learning that sometimes the hardest person to save is yourself.
Show Notes: Kiki (formerly Karen) Snyder shares her 35-year journey since her breakdown at Harvard, which landed her in restraints at McLean Hospital during exams in 1991. She discusses being misdiagnosed as severely bipolar, the 32 years she lost to toxic psychiatric medications, and the self she rediscovered. "Karen was full of fear and anger. Karen wanted to speak to the manager. But Kiki's in charge now. I am the manager." Learn more about her transformation on Instagram at @assignedkarenatbirth and at assignedkarenatbirth.com. From Karen to Kiki Kiki elaborates on her transformation from Karen to Kiki. A massage therapist specializing in Somatic Experiencing taught Kiki that our brains lie to us, our bodies know the truth. Kiki's body clearly told her it was finally time to leave the zip code she'd lived in for 50 years. She describes the upheaval of uprooting from Northern Virginia to coastal North Carolina after her mother's passing, and the impact of that change on her emotional well-being. Facing Pain and Healing from Trauma Kiki discusses the debilitating effects of the psychiatric medications she was on for 32 years and her work to taper off them. She describes the emotional numbness and exhaustion she experienced while on these medications. Kiki explains how getting off the medications allowed her to process trauma and emotions, leading to a significant personal transformation. She emphasizes the importance of sharing her story to help others who may be going through similar experiences. A Career in Social Media Kiki recounts her career in social media, including her role at AOL in the early days of the Internet. She describes her work at VeriSign, where she first discovered Web 2.0, which became social media. Her perseverance in the face of resistance resulted in the founding of VeriSign's social media program. Kiki shares her regret at not even considering the offer to relocate to Silicon Valley when the program she founded was moved there. She now realizes that her fear of not being strong enough was fueled by medications and years of being told she was fragile and sick. She discusses her subsequent role at the Federal Aviation Administration, where she founded their social media program. Layoffs and Life Changes Kiki shares her experience of being laid off from her dream job at a big ad agency on the same day she moved to coastal North Carolina in 2024. Her entire division was cut, an early wave of workers displaced by AI. She reflects on the impact of the layoff, leading to a significant life change. Spirituality and Synchronicity Kiki talks about her interest in spirituality, metaphysics, and Jung's concept of synchronicities. She talks about sharing her story with the world and the positive responses she has received from others. Kiki discusses her efforts to let go of control, a trait she inherited from her former self, Karen. A Burner Phone and AI "Therapy" Kiki shares her tips for beating her phone addiction. She installed the BePresent app, which helps her limit wasted time on social media. She recommends Claude, the AI chatbot she uses as a sounding board and where she worked through the grief and anger of losing three decades. And most importantly, a second phone. Every night the real phone stays in the kitchen and the "burner" comes to the bedroom, holding only music, an alarm, and the chatbot. Her advice to anyone trying to put their phone down: Get another phone! Harvard Reflections Kiki reminisces about her favorite classes at Harvard, including Irv DeVore's human behavioral biology class and Helen Vendler's poetry class. She shares her fascination with language and culture, particularly the unique language of Gen Z. Kiki discusses her plans to create new content by translating Shakespeare's sonnets into Gen Z slang. She expresses her excitement about learning and exploring new topics, including spirituality and metaphysics.

Greatest Generation Live welcomes one of the last surviving Canadian veterans of D-Day, Jim Parks, for a conversation about his extraordinary journey from the beaches of Normandy to the final victory over Nazi Germany. Jim enlisted in the Canadian Army while still underage and spent nearly three years training in Britain before landing with the Royal Winnipeg Rifles on Juno Beach on June 6, 1944. Assigned to arrive just ahead of the main assault, his landing craft struck an obstacle and he was forced to swim ashore without his rifle. From that chaotic beginning, Jim fought through the brutal Normandy campaign at Putot and Carpiquet, crossed Belgium and the Netherlands, battled at the Leopold Canal and in the Rhineland, and finished the war in Germany as a sergeant. Jim has a remarkable gift for storytelling. He vividly recalls the confusion and terror of the invasion, the comrades he lost, the small moments of humanity that sustained soldiers in combat, and the challenges of returning home after the war. His reflections remind us that history is made not only by armies and generals, but by ordinary young people asked to do extraordinary things. Joining Glenn Flickinger as co-hosts are history teacher at Crestwood Preparatory College Scott Masters and author, historian Marc Milner. Marc is a Canadian military and naval historian, author of several books including SECOND FRONT: Anglo-American Rivalry and the Hidden Story of the Normandy Campaign. He is Director of the Gregg Centre for the Study of War and Society at the University of New Brunswick. Together they will help place Jim's experiences in the broader story of Canada's pivotal role on D-Day and the liberation of Northwest Europe by exploring the campaign, Jim's life before and after the war, and the importance of preserving these firsthand memories for future generations.

"Send us a message!"What if the biggest business advantage isn't talent, experience, or even hard work?What if it's curiosity?In this episode, we explore why the best salon owners aren't the ones who blindly copy trends or follow outdated advice; they're the ones willing to ask better questions.We talk about challenging industry assumptions, learning from other businesses, embracing new technology, building original systems, and why curiosity has been one of the biggest competitive advantages in growing Hello Hair Co.From Google Ads and AI to hiring, apprenticeships, pricing, and marketing, we share why asking why has consistently led us toward better answers than simply asking how.Your business should serve you, so that you can serve others.And the future belongs to the owners willing to think for themselves.Key TakeawaysCuriosity is one of the greatest competitive advantages in business.Copying outcomes is not the same as understanding why they worked.

For the first time ever
You know those moments where you hit a wall and you blurt out in exasperation, "I don't think I can do this. I'm not even sure God wants me to!" That question is more common than you think, and today we're going deep on it. I'm breaking down the difference between a skill gap and a calling gap, because those two things feel similar on the surface but they are not the same. One means you need to learn something. The other means you might need to have an honest conversation with God about your assignment. We also talk about why struggle is not automatically a sign that you're in the wrong place, why some people are genuinely not built for entrepreneurship (and why that is not a failure), and how to tell the difference between a season that's hard and a season that's hollow. I share some personal stories in this one, including a dinner conversation that stopped me in my tracks and a season of my own life where I had to lay something down that I really thought was from the Lord. My goal for you in this episode is clarity. By the time you finish listening, you should have a stronger sense of whether your frustration is hiding a skill problem or a calling problem. And to help you go even deeper on that, I put together a free audit for you. It walks you through the key areas of your business so you can pinpoint exactly where your gaps are and what to do about them. Download the free audit in the link below and let's get you some clarity.

Lito Villanueva went from a junior Air Force cyber specialist to a military contractor in Afghanistan, a special operations communications expert, and eventually a volunteer supporting teams near the front lines of the war in Ukraine.In this episode, of Urban Valor, Lito shares the uncensored story of leaving the U.S. Air Force after two years, landing a $164,500 Afghanistan contractor job at 21, surviving daily mortar attacks at FOB Shank—better known as “Rocket City”—and entering the hidden world of special operations, C4ISR, military communications, drones, intelligence, surveillance, and kinetic strike operations.He also opens up about the psychological cost of war, witnessing lethal operations, returning home disconnected from civilian life, battling depression, and finding a new sense of purpose through veteran suicide prevention and humanitarian work.Years later, after Russia invaded Ukraine, Lito entered the country alone with humanitarian aid and eventually joined a team that needed his expertise in tactical communications, blue-force tracking, intelligence organization, and battlefield command-and-control systems.
Work gets the majority of our attention, yet most of us were never taught how to connect our Monday to our faith without either idolizing our career or minimizing it as “just a job.” We pull that tension into the open and talk about calling in a way that's clear, biblical, and practical for real life.

Happy 4th of July. Here is Critical Incidents newest episode. If you want to be featured, email us at Criticalincidentspod@gmail.com I sat down with retired FBI Special Agent Seamus McAlerney to tell the inside story behind Flipping Capo: How the FBI Dismantled the Real Sopranos. A former bank auditor who was told he'd never make it into the Bureau, Seamus landed on the legendary C-10 squad as a brand-new agent in 1998 just as a botched World Trade Center robbery cracked open one of the most significant organized crime cases in FBI history. Assigned to arrest violent DeCavalcante soldier Anthony Capo, the rookie agent chose respect over intimidation, played a patient game of mental chess, and did what no one in the family's 100-year history had ever done: he got a made member to flip. Seamus takes us deep into the real-life world that inspired The Sopranos - the panel of bosses, the Queens strip club, the murders, and a consensual recording of mobsters watching the show and naming which characters were them. Along the way he breaks down how cooperation actually works: proffers, "eating the indictment," the Witness Security Program, RICO and its predicate acts, and why numbers beat letters when it comes to a plea. He also shares the human cost — contracts on his witness and on law enforcement, losing his father mid-case, 9/11 grinding everything to a halt, friends lost in the towers, and a White House commendation for dismantling not one but two crime families at once. A masterclass in patience, teamwork, and the principle that carried his whole career: persistence beats resistance, and credit will find you.

Episode 255 of the Transition Drill podcast explores military transition, identity after service, entrepreneurship for veterans and first responders navigating life after a long military career, and becoming a USC Graduate . You'll hear Angela Baker-Creary on losing both her military identity and her father at the same time, and what it takes to rebuild your purpose when the future you planned suddenly disappears.Angela reflects on entering the military as an 18-year-old who initially viewed it as nothing more than a job. She shares the lessons she wishes she had learned earlier about education, professional development, mentorship, and preparing for life after service. As her career progressed through assignments in Mississippi, Korea, Japan, South Dakota, North Carolina, Germany, and Illinois, she discovered a passion for leadership, continuous improvement, and serving others. The attacks of September 11 fundamentally changed how she viewed military service, transforming it from employment into a mission larger than herself.Assigned to medical administration, Angela eventually earned one of the Air Force's most respected Aero Medical Evacuation assignments, coordinating the movement of critically ill and injured service members around the world. Her work demanded precision, leadership, and the confidence to make decisions that directly affected patient care, reinforcing the importance of preparation, teamwork, and accountability.Just as retirement approached, Angela's life changed dramatically. After her humanitarian request to care for her terminally ill father was denied, she made the emotional decision to retire early. Within a short period, she lost both her father and the military career that had defined much of her adult life. The grief, combined with PTSD, made pursuing a career in homeland security impossible despite earning a master's degree in the field.Instead of giving up, Angela rediscovered an old passion she hadn't fully recognized. What began as merchandise promoting a children's book she co-authored with her daughter eventually became Mobillionairez, a clothing brand built around encouragement, resilience, and believing in yourself. Today, she continues helping others through entrepreneurship, mentorship, and her message that transition doesn't have to be the end of your purpose. Sometimes it's the beginning of the dream you were always meant to pursue.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comSPONSORS:GRND Collective: Premium, veteran-owned sportswear built for those who show up, outwork the excuses, and give 100%.

Jenn talks about the fun little project she had for her hubby Heath.
The Dead Sea Scrolls contain a version of Deuteronomy 32:8 that most modern Bibles don't show you — and what the original text says rewires how you read the entire Old Testament. When God divided the nations of the earth, He didn't do it according to the sons of Israel. He did it according to the sons of God. Fallen angels. Assigned to every nation on earth. That one manuscript difference changes everything. Lance Wallnau goes deep into the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Septuagint, and the ancient Hebrew texts to uncover the hidden architecture of world history — a heavenly council of angelic overseers, a divine courtroom where God calls them to account, and a Tower of Babel that wasn't a building at all, but a portal technology designed to merge humanity with those same spiritual intelligences. And the connection to what's being built right now — AI, neural links, transhumanism — is harder to ignore than you'd think. In this episode: * The Dead Sea Scrolls vs. your Bible — what was changed and why * The Tower of Babel was a ziggurat: a spiritual portal, not a skyscraper * Psalm 82 decoded: God judges the angels He assigned to run the nations * The EU Parliament building and its disturbing Tower of Babel design * AI, neural links, and the Antichrist's "one mind" over 10 rulers * Michael Heiser's scholarship on the divine council and the Unseen Realm * Your end-time assignment: taking back territory from rebellious angels This is Genesis and Revelation read together — and the picture that emerges is not what most churches are teaching.

Patrick K. O'Donnell recounts how in late summer 1944, the Rangers were assigned to assist in capturing the port of Brest, a fortress Hitler ordered to be held at all costs. During a scouting mission, Lieutenant Edlund and three scouts discovered a narrow path through a massive minefield filled with "Bouncing Bettys." Edlund bluffed his way into the command bunker of a major German gun battery, which housed battleship-sized 12-inch guns. Once inside, he threatened the commanding officer with a hand grenade, vowing to blow them both up unless the entire fort surrendered. His audacity worked, and over 200 Germans surrendered the battery without a fight, earning Edlund the Distinguished Service Cross. Following the fall of Brest, the Rangers were moved to the Hürtgen Forest, a location described as a "factory of death." The forest was a nightmare of dense mines, bunkers, and pre-registered artillery fire. American command made the strategic error of attempting to push through the forest rather than bypassing it, resulting in casualties comparable to the entire Korean War. By December, the Rangers were held in reserve near the town of Bergstein. Their objective was Hill 400, the highest point in the forest, which provided a commanding view of the entire region. Unbeknownst to the Allies, the Germans defended the hill with fanaticism because it overlooked the secret assembly areas for Hitler's planned Ardennes Offensive, the Battle of the Bulge. (5)1944

Army infantry veteran Tyler Hoover shares the truth about serving in the U.S. Army, going through airborne school, deploying to Iraq, surviving the constant threat of EFPs and IEDs, and trying to come home after war. Tyler opens up to Urban Valor about Army basic training, the culture shock of infantry life, Fort Bragg, the 82nd Airborne, Baghdad in 2008, convoy missions, lead truck gunner danger, post-deployment drinking, losing friends, and the reality of veteran reintegration after combat.Tyler talks about joining the Army after seeing the war on TV, signing an infantry contract, losing his Ranger contract, becoming airborne, getting sent to Iraq, and realizing that some days survival came down to nothing more than a left turn or a right turn.But the most powerful part of this story may not be Iraq itself.It's what happened after.The alcohol. The car crashes. The murders. The friends who didn't make it home emotionally, even when they physically made it back. Tyler's story is a reminder that war does not always end when the deployment does.Chapters: 00:00 - Intro: Crazy Army Stories & Close Calls01:26 - Growing Up in Pennsylvania & Virginia02:21 - Playing in Bands & Learning Branding02:45 - Growing Up as a Cop's Son05:04 - Why Tyler Decided to Join the Military07:46 - Trying to Join the Marines08:26 - Joining the Army Infantry08:45 - Signing a Ranger Contract09:47 - Arriving at Army Basic Training10:51 - Finding Out He Was a Mortarman12:37 - Culture Shock in the Army17:09 - Drill Sergeants, Integrity & War Prep21:58 - Army Airborne School24:03 - Getting in Trouble With an Officer25:50 - The Army Friends Who Never Made It26:28 - Getting Sent to Fort Bragg28:34 - Assigned to the Support Battalion29:42 - Finally Getting Sent to the Line30:23 - Deploying to Baghdad, Iraq30:52 - EFPs, IEDs & Convoy Danger31:58 - Life as the Lead Truck Gunner34:37 - The Left Turn That Saved His Life36:26 - Living Like Every Day Was Extra37:19 - The Photo That Got Him in Trouble39:58 - Coming Home From Iraq40:42 - Losing Friends After Deployment42:18 - Why Coming Home Is So Hard43:35 - Drinking, DUI & Leaving the Army51:14 - Becoming a Police Officer51:57 - Working Night Shift in Orlando52:27 - The Baby Not Breathing Call57:05 - The McDonald's SWAT Call59:21 - The Adrenaline Crash After the Call1:00:37 - Why Police Work Wasn't Like the Military1:02:06 - Getting Kicked Off SWAT1:05:03 - The Clothing Line That Caused Problems1:06:20 - Starting the Anti-Hero Podcast1:08:11 - Turning the Podcast Into a Broadcast1:09:07 - Building a Community for the 99%1:10:23 - Why Regular Veterans Get Overlooked1:12:01 - Smoke Pit Humor & Veteran Culture1:18:07 - Lessons From Military & Police Work1:19:02 - What the Anti-Hero Broadcast Is Today1:20:25 - Final Thoughts on Regular Service Members
Father Greg Boyle has spent nearly four decades alongside gang members in Los Angeles, founding Homeboy Industries from the poorest parish in the city. "An employed gang member may or may not go back to prison, but a healed one won't ever go back to prison." In this episode with Mark Labberton, Boyle reflects on what heals a life inside the world's largest gang-intervention program. Together they discuss tenderness as the highest form of spiritual maturity, kinship as the true goal (with peace and justice as byproducts), why "the poor evangelize you," why demonizing collapses on both political sides, and the mental-health roots of homelessness and gang life. Episode Highlights "The whole incarnation was necessary, not because of sin or salvation even. It's just, for me, it's God's love needed to become tender." "I think that's the singular agenda item for our God is just to look at you and say, 'Ah, you're here.'" "No kinship, no peace. No kinship, no justice. No kinship, no equality. It's how it works." "An employed gang member may or may not go back to prison, but a healed one won't ever go back to prison." "There aren't good guys and bad guys, you know? And God doesn't see it that way, as hard as that is for us to conceive." About Greg Boyle Father Gregory Boyle, SJ, is an American Jesuit priest and the founder of Homeboy Industries in Los Angeles, the largest gang-intervention, rehabilitation, and re-entry program in the world. A native Angeleno, he served as pastor of Dolores Mission in Boyle Heights from 1986 to 1992. In 2024 he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, along with the California Peace Prize and Notre Dame's 2017 Laetare Medal.

It's Trans History Week in the UK, so we're taking you back to one of our first and favourite episodes ever from Season 1.This is the unbelievably wild life story of the Chevalier d'Éon: transgender spy, soldier, and sleuth of the French Enlightenment.Assigned male at birth, Charles eventually transitioned to become Charlotte, before discovering the humiliating constraints of life as an 18th century woman. She later escaped the French Revolution and lived out her final days in London, writing her memoirs (CHIC) and fighting master swordsmen on stage – in a dress! – for extra cash.
In this episode of Real Estate Investing Fast Track, I break down a Greenwood Lake, NY wholesale deal that I didn't even want to buy myself. But just because it wasn't a deal for me doesn't mean it wasn't a deal for someone else. I got it under contract for $150K and assigned it for $168K, making an $18K profit with a smooth, transparent transaction from start to finish. I go over how I found it through direct mail, why I passed on flipping it, and how I still made money by assigning it to another investor.
