When Rev. Seth Davidson arrived at St. John Lutheran Church in Athens, Texas, the congregation averaged around 30 worshipers, had an average age of 71, struggled to make payroll, and appeared to be approaching the end of its ministry. Today, the church is welcoming young families, celebrating baptisms and confirmations, and running out of room.What changed? Seth joins Tim Ahlman to share how patient teaching, courageous leadership, community service, hospitality, and a willingness to challenge congregational idols helped revitalize this rural LCMS church.Support the show⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️Care about the future of the LCMS?Join the LCMS Current!

Nick Huber is an accomplished entrepreneur and real estate investor based in Athens, Georgia. Best known for building a $30M+ annual revenue portfolio that includes 68 self-storage properties, Nick also owns companies like somewhere.com, Bolt Storage, and RE Cost Seg. He's recognized for his no-nonsense advice on entrepreneurship, his book The Sweaty Startup, and his focus on building wealth through practical, “boring” businesses rather than chasing flashy startup trends. Nick's unique perspective comes from real-world experience, not just theory, making him a sought-after voice for aspiring business owners. On this episode we talk about: – How Nick made his first and most recent dollar – The importance of picking the right business “vehicle” – Why cash is king in real estate investing – The realities of self-storage and why it's not truly “passive income” – Building businesses that solve real problems (like RE Cost Seg and somewhere.com) Top 3 Takeaways 1. Pick the right business vehicle: Success isn't just about working hard-it's about working smart in industries where you can win, even if you're “average.” 2. Cash matters in real estate: Contrary to popular advice, Nick argues you need capital to succeed in real estate; “no money down” deals are risky and rare. 3. Business is a long game: Building wealth takes years, often generations. Avoid get-rich-quick schemes and focus on boring, proven businesses.

Figures like Conrad Grebel, Felix Manz, and Michael Sattler are well known for their roles in the founding and first years of the Anabaptist movement. But there was another figure important to the beginnings of Anabaptism that we rarely hear about. This man, Balthasar Hubmaier, did significant work on Anabaptist theology up to his martyrdom in 1528. He also had his share of weakness and struggle. Dean Taylor gives a profile of who Hubmaier was, what he contributed to the Anabaptist movement, and how his failings led to tragedy.Subscribe to Anabaptist Origins!The writings of Balthasar HubmaierThe Chronicle of the Hutterian Brethren Volume 1The Chronicle of the Hutterian Brethren Volume 2 Balthasar Hubmaier's Use of the Church Fathers by Andrew KlagerThe Eucharistic Theology and Ethics of Balthasar Hubmaier by Kirk R.

Essays, episodes, the teaching series of Frank Reed, and this summer, Anabaptist Origins: all released freely across a wide range of platforms. Our team grew to meet the production demands of the past two years, with that growth largely funded by giving raised for specific projects like Origins. That giving did what it was meant to do and has now been spent. While our monthly supporter base has grown to over 130 members, their giving does not yet cover ongoing production costs. Current supporters provide an incredibly valuable foundation, so a lack of additional donors would not stop the work, but it would slow considerably. Staying within our current base would mean scaling back hours, publishing less often, and setting the larger projects aside. You have a real say in what we can and cannot do. To sustain what we have built and carry some margin into next year, we are seeking $50,000 by the end of November. Thanks to generous donors, the first $12,000 of this will be matched dollar for dollar.

Justin is joined by Jim Johnson to discuss Proverbs 1–15 and Acts 14–17. They talk about signs and wonders, appointing elders, Jewish believers wrestling with old traditions, Paul and Barnabas parting ways, Timothy's circumcision, and Paul's sermon in Athens. Jim also reflects on lessons from his early ministry in Berea, while the conversation turns to Proverbs for insight on wisdom literature, discipling children, the fear of the Lord, and the enduring wisdom of Proverbs 3:5–6.

At the Court of Liang at the period of Yang Chu, about 300 B.C., the philosophers were treated as guests of the reigning king, who reserved for them lodging and maintenance, and encouraged all who had any pretence to the pursuit of truth and wisdom. Whether or not Yang Chu was actually a native of the Wei State, or whether he came there drawn by the attraction of a critical and unrivalled audience, it is at least certain that he settled there as small proprietor, probably in the reign of King Hwei, and continued there till his death, about 250 B.C.One may imagine a condition of life in many respects somewhat analogous to the life of Epicurus in his famous Athenian Garden. To the philosopher of pleasure and contentment came pupils and disciples, discourses were held in much the same way as at an identical period discourses were held in the garden at Athens, and it is to these discourses, memorised and recorded by his favourite pupil Meng-sun-Yang, that we most probably owe the single fragment of the teaching of Yang Chu that remains, a fragment complete and explicit enough to enable us to form a clear estimate of his teaching and philosophy. - (from the Introduction by Hugh Cranmer-Byng)Translated by Anton Forke.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In late June, the Tällberg Foundation joined the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) in Athens to celebrate the winners of the 2025 Tällberg-SNF-Eliasson Global Leadership Prize, part of SNF's week-long 30th anniversary celebration. In this episode of New Thinking for a New World, Vishakha Desai, vice chair of the Tällberg Foundation Board of Directors, introduces the three 2025 laureates: Rhett Ayers Butler, founder and CEO of Mongabay; Bryan Doerries, artistic director of Theater of War Productions; and David Gruber, oceanographer and founder and president of Project CETI. Their work spans environmental journalism, theater and public dialogue, and interspecies communication. What they share is a determination to challenge conventional thinking, a deep ethical commitment, and a belief that the world can be made better when people of good will work together. They reflect on how they built their leadership, what they've accomplished, and what they hope to do next.

Blurb:   Daniel Tucker interviews Georgia Kotretsos about her work with the ΤΗΕ ΤΕΛΟΣ SOCIETY which is conceived of as a Arts & Culture Research Lab Observatorium with projects throughout Greece and beyond. This interview was conducted at the Twenty-First International Conference on the Arts in Society conference "Modeling Life Systems: Art, Algorithms, Ecologies" at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece.    Bio: Georgia Kotretsos is a visual artist, researcher, the founder of the nonprofit organization THE ΤΕΛΟΣ SOCIETY, Arts & Culture Research Lab Observatorium, in Athens, Greece and the publisher of TTS Press, which operates in the field of cultural studies and art research in Greece, the Balkans, the Mediterranean, and the Middle East. TTS focuses on the Greek periphery, the islands, and remote areas. It creates interdisciplinary teams tailored for each project, working collaboratively on site-specific intangible projects that uncover the unique aspects of each locale. TTS publications are available at the following bookstores: Politeia, Ianos, Museum of Cycladic Art, Iambos, Pixel,and Public (online). Through these endeavors, THE TEΛΟΣ SOCIETY highlights the importance of contemporary art and cultural heritage while fostering new creative perspectives and audiences. She holds an MFA in Fine Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (USA, 2004), where she studied on a full merit-based scholarship, and a BFA from the Durban Institute of Technology in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa (2000), where she relocated as a teenager during the country's post-apartheid transition. Her work systematically critiques conventional theoretical positions on viewing and perceiving artworks, seeking—through liberatory and anarchic visual practices—to reveal that the experience of viewing is site-specific, and that the emancipation of the viewer is a crucial source of artistic knowledge. Her research-based approach—whether in the form of artwork, text, or interview—resists traditional forms and historical modes of acquiring knowledge, proposing alternative methodologies for its creation and reception. Her work has been presented both in Greece and internationally, including at the Onassis Art Center and the Asia Society in New York, the 4th Thessaloniki Biennale of Contemporary Art, the Tinguely Museum (Basel), La Kunsthalle (Mulhouse), the Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art (Thessaloniki), and the Contemporary Art Museum of St. Louis. She has held seven solo exhibitions and participated in numerous significant international initiatives, including the 56th Venice Biennale, MediaImpact in Moscow, and FIELD MEETING in New York. From 2006 to 2010, she co-founded the independent art space Boots Contemporary Art Space in St. Louis, USA—an alternative contemporary art laboratory—and served as editor-in-chief of BootPrint, a biannual journal by and for artists. From 2009 to 2013, she served as a columnist for Art21 Magazine of PBS Arts Feature in New York, with her column Inside the Artist's Studio. In 2014, her writing was also published on LABKULTUR.TV in Germany. In 2019, Kotretsos published a report on the arts in Greece reflecting on the decade of recession 2008-18 entitled "Athens is the Only Cave in the World that has a Skylight" for the Field Journal in the US.  Her works are held in private collections, including the National Bank of Greece, the Mamidakis Foundation, and others.

Like the episode? Let us know with a quick text!Sheila Scott — author of "Miles of Motherhood" — joins Allison to talk about a running life that started with a grade-school one-mile fun run outside Rochester, New York, and never really stopped: cross-country coaches who preached "look at the foliage" and taught visualization before it was cool, stepping away from the sport and finding her way back, and raising two runners of her own (both now at Alabama — Roll Tide).She relives the mud that ate her shoe at a high-school race, the 2019 Marine Corps Marathon downpour, BQ hunting in Richmond, and why the race memories that stick are the people, not the times.Plus: the packing grid, race-morning jitters that never go away, cushy shoes, a Mountain Dew confession, negotiating with herself through hot Florida miles, and why she is saying yes to everything — including 29029 Everesting and, one day, Athens.Sheila Scott - https://www.facebook.com/sheila.scott.9041083Author of "Miles of Motherhood"https://us.amazon.com/Miles-Motherhood-Sheila-Scott/dp/B0G6JFMPPBRaces MentionedBoston MarathonRichmond MarathonMarine Corps MarathonNew York City MarathonChicago MarathonLondon MarathonTuscaloosa Half MarathonMother's Day 5K at Chestnut ParkHuntsville MarathonAthens Marathon29029 EverestingShout OutsCatherineWagner'sSupport the showFor more details on Run Your Story happenings, visit https://runyourstory.com/For web development, app development, or tech services, visit https://gaillardts.com/Go Run Your Story and take a piece of this story with you!

This month, we're welcoming the team from Shell to Shore, an Athens-based oyster shell recycling initiative that works with restaurants across the state of Georgia to rebuild shorelines.Oysters -- the same kind you slurp down as an appetizer at that restaurant downtown -- have incredible potential for fighting sea level rise. In the wild, oysters build reefs together, with baby oysters settling on the old shells of bivalves past and offering a tough breakwater to stabilize shorelines and slow waves hitting the beach.With the help of Shell to Shore, those restaurant oyster shells don't go in the trash -- instead, they get taken back to the coast to help restore coastal ecosystems. With a little help from their engineering friends, the Shell to Shore team is now developing restoration projects with community members at locations like Sapelo Island, Georgia. This episode is all about lessons learned, how to scale up from starting at home, and of course, plenty of oyster fun facts.Featuring:Brock Woodson, co-director of IRIS and UGA professor of engineeringTyler Leslie, Executive Director and co-founder of Shell to ShoreNik Heynen, UGA professor of geography and Director of Education for Shell to ShoreHunt Revell, environmental attorney and President and co-founder of Shell to ShoreBrock's Haiku:Oysters depletedonce abundant, soon restoredprotecting our shoresLearn more about S2S at https://www.shelltoshore.com/ Donate here: https://givebutter.com/S2Sdonate Get in touch: https://www.shelltoshore.com/contact-us

In this episode of Peachtree Corners Life, host Rico Figliolini sits down with Adam Cleveland, the Democratic candidate challenging two-term incumbent Scott Hilton for Georgia House District 48. Cleveland shares his path from studying biology and working apartment maintenance in Athens to becoming an attorney who helped draft multiple pieces of legislation passed by the Georgia General Assembly — experience he says gave him a firsthand understanding of how laws actually get written, and why he's now running for the seat that writes them.The conversation covers Cleveland's core policy priorities, including ranked-choice voting, redistricting reform, term limits, reproductive and medical decision-making, Medicaid expansion, data centers, public school funding, and housing affordability.Throughout, he frames his campaign around generational opportunity — the idea that structural changes to Georgia's elections and government are necessary to give his children, and the next generation of Georgians, more say over the decisions that shape their lives.Watch the video or listen to the audio podcast above, and learn more about Adam Cleveland's campaign at adamcleveland.com.

 24 No man can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one, and love the other: or he will sustain the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.Nemo potest duobus dominis servire : aut enim unum odio habebit, et alterum diliget : aut unum sustinebit, et alterum contemnet. Non potestis Deo servire et mammonae. 25 Therefore I say to you, be not solicitous for your life, what you shall eat, nor for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the life more than the meat: and the body more than the raiment?Ideo dico vobis, ne solliciti sitis animae vestrae quid manducetis, neque corpori vestro quid induamini. Nonne anima plus est quam esca, et corpus plus quam vestimentum? 26 Behold the birds of the air, for they neither sow, nor do they reap, nor gather into barns: and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not you of much more value than they?Respicite volatilia caeli, quoniam non serunt, neque metunt, neque congregant in horrea : et Pater vester caelestis pascit illa. Nonne vos magis pluris estis illis? 27 And which of you by taking thought, can add to his stature by one cubit?Quis autem vestrum cogitans potest adjicere ad staturam suam cubitum unum? 28 And for raiment why are you solicitous? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they labour not, neither do they spin.Et de vestimento quid solliciti estis? Considerate lilia agri quomodo crescunt : non laborant, neque nent. 29 But I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these.Dico autem vobis, quoniam nec Salomon in omni gloria sua coopertus est sicut unum ex istis. 30 And if the grass of the field, which is today, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, God doth so clothe: how much more you, O ye of little faith?Si autem foenum agri, quod hodie est, et cras in clibanum mittitur, Deus sic vestit, quanto magis vos modicae fidei? 31 Be not solicitous therefore, saying, What shall we eat: or what shall we drink, or wherewith shall we be clothed?Nolite ergo solliciti esse, dicentes : Quid manducabimus, aut quid bibemus, aut quo operiemur? 32 For after all these things do the heathens seek. For your Father knoweth that you have need of all these things.haec enim omnia gentes inquirunt. Scit enim Pater vester, quia his omnibus indigetis. 33 Seek ye therefore first the kingdom of God, and his justice, and all these things shall be added unto you.Quaerite[24] "Mammon": That is, riches, worldly interest.St Giles was from Athens and he fled to south of France. There he lived as a hermit in a vast forest. He was discovered there by King Theodoric and he founded a monestery and was so famous on account of his miracles that many churches were dedicated to him. He died in the 6th century.

Andrew Bayliss, author of Sparta: The Rise and Fall of an Ancient Superpower, Part One: Bayliss details Sparta's emergence as a classical Greek superpower, emphasizing its unique geography in the Eurotas valley. Bayliss explains the origin of Sparta's dual-kingship compromise and its complete dependence on "helots" (enslaved cousins), who were subjugated through systemic state terror and regularized beatings. The discussion explores the rigorous Agoge system, which began at age seven and subjected young boys to physical training, starvation, and tactical stealing. Additionally, Spartan women were trained to be strong, athletic mothers. The segment concludes with the Persian Wars, highlighting the legendary stand of the 300 at Thermopylae and the naval battle of Salamis. (1)

Andrew Bayliss, Part Two: Bayliss covers the Peloponnesian War, sparked by Athenian leader Pericles' provocations. The Spartans respond with siege tactics, while Athens suffers from a devastating plague that claims Pericles' life. Prominent figures like Lysander emerge, securing Persian funds to build a competitive fleet and capture the Athenian navy. However, Sparta struggles to govern, plagued by declining citizen numbers. The empire collapses after its defeat by the Thebans at Leuctra. The segment concludes by examining the historical validity of the "Thucydides Trap" in 21st-century geopolitics. (2)

The gospel is too good to keep quiet. Acts 17 shows us how to share the Gospel with those around us, following Paul's example in Athens.

What is the purpose of a creed or ‘I Believe' statement? Where creeds overlap, you find companions for the journey. Creeds can unite us, but they can also divide. Some attempts to rewrite the Apostles' Creed help us understand who God is and can change both our view of the world, and God. Paul saw the shrines to the unknown god in Athens as misguided. Our God is known, and close. Not far away, distant emotionally or unknown. His message to the Athenians suggests that we should embrace those around us while hewing to the bible's teachings. God made this earth spacious for all living creatures., human and otherwise. Because we trust in God, and we are created by God, we can peel back the layers and more fully understand. This message comes from Pastor Sarah. Our New Testament Lesson comes from Acts, Chapter 17, verses 16-28.   Carolyn Winfrey Gillette provides a restated creed: I believe in God the Father, the Almighty God above, Maker of the earth and heaven which were formed in God's great love. And in Jesus, loving Jesus, God's own Son, who makes us new. This the creed of generations, is the faith for our church too. Jesus by God's Holy Spirit was so wondrously conceived, Born unto the Virgin Mary, who your promises believed. Jesus suffering under Pilate, on a cross was crucified. Soldiers mocked hi, friends denied him; he hung there until he died. So it was, our Lord was buried, in a borrowed tomb he lay. To the dead he then descended, where was joy on earth that day? There's more to God's great story: In three days he rose again. He ascended into heaven and he sits at God's right hand. I believe what God has promised: Christ will come as he has said. He will judge the nations' peoples, both the living and the dead. I believe God's Holy Spirit makes the church one family. We're surrounded by God's people, saints who in our Lord believe. I believe that God forgives us for the times we turn away, And that God will raise our bodies on that resurrection day. We rejoice that we'll live forever, singing praise to God's great name. This the creed of generations is the faith that we proclaim.

Born around AD 100 to a pagan family in Samaria, within sight of Jacob's Well, Justin went shopping for God among the philosophical schools, and this class follows him station by station: the Stoic who knew nothing of God and thought such instruction unnecessary, the Aristotelian who asked him to settle the fee, the Pythagorean who demanded music, astronomy and geometry first, and finally the Platonist, whose promise that the mind could ascend to look upon God — "for this is the end of Plato's philosophy" — set him alight. The summit turned out to be vacant. Then the turn: an old man on a seashore takes the young Platonist apart using Socrates' own method, corrects Plato on the immortality of the soul, points past philosophy altogether to the prophets — men who saw and announced rather than demonstrated — tells him to pray, and is never seen again. Justin's verdict on his own conversion is the sentence the session turns over: "Thus, and for this reason, I am a philosopher." He kept the philosopher's cloak, and around AD 155 wore it to Rome to file a formal petition with the emperor on behalf of the Christians — the defense of Socrates, in Socrates' own genre, quoting Socrates to the future Marcus Aurelius's face: "you can kill, but not hurt us."

“For,in fact, we told you before when we were with you that we would suffertribulation.” Notice that Paul had warned them ahead of time. When Paulpreached the gospel, he did not promise people that if they trusted Christ alltheir problems would disappear. He did not tell them that following Jesus wouldguarantee an easy life. Actually, he told them just the opposite. He said, ineffect, “If you follow Christ, you should expect opposition.” Paul hadlearned this personally. Everywhere he went preaching the gospel, there seemedto be opposition. He had been beaten and imprisoned in Philippi. He was drivenout of Thessalonica. He faced opposition in Berea, and eventually he foundhimself alone in Athens. Paul knew from experience that living for Christ doesnot exempt us from trouble. And neither does it today. Sometimes we get theidea that if we are walking with the Lord, praying, reading our Bible,attending church, and trying to live right, then nothing bad should happen tous. But the Bible never promises that. In fact, sometimes our troubles comebecause we are faithfully following Christ.  ThenPaul adds an interesting statement in verse 4: “just as it happened, and youknow.” In other words, Paul said, “I told you it was coming—and now youhave experienced it for yourselves.” But notice what concerned Paul most. Itwasn't simply that they were suffering. His greatest concern was what thesuffering might do to their faith. Verse 5 says: “For this reason, when Icould no longer endure it, I sent to know your faith.” Paul wanted to know,“Are they still trusting God? Are they still standing? Are they still believingthe gospel?” And then Paul tells us why he was so concerned: “Lest by somemeans the tempter had tempted you.” Here Paul calls Satan “the tempter.”That immediately reminds us of Matthew 4, where Satan came to Jesus in thewilderness and tempted Him. Satanis still the tempter today. And one of his favorite opportunities to tempt usis when we are going through difficulty. When we are hurting, Satan whispers,“If God really loved you, why did He allow this?” When our prayers seemunanswered, he whispers, “God isn't listening.” When something doesn't turn outthe way we hoped, he says, “You can't trust God.” When we become discouraged,he whispers, “What's the use? Just give up.” That is why we need to understandsomething very important: The trial itself is not necessarily the temptation.The temptation is how we respond to the trial. God can use a trial tostrengthen our faith, while Satan wants to use that same trial to destroy ourconfidence in God. Remember Job? Satan believed that if Job lost hispossessions, his family, and his health, Job would turn against God. But in themiddle of his suffering, Job could still say, “Though He slay me, yet will Itrust in Him.” That is faith standing in the storm. Paulfinishes verse 5 by saying that he was concerned that “our labor might be invain.” Paul wasn't suggesting that his ministry had been meaningless. Hewas expressing the heart of a spiritual father. He had invested his life inthese people. He had preached Christ to them, prayed for them, loved them, anddiscipled them. Now he wanted to know that they were still standing. Today,maybe you are facing a trial. Remember this: Your trial does not mean God hasabandoned you. Don't listen to the tempter. Instead, listen to the promises ofGod's Word. Satan says, “God has forgotten you.” God says, “I will never leavethee, nor forsake thee.” Satan says, “You cannot make it through this.” Godsays, “My grace is sufficient for thee.” Satan says, “Give up.” God says,“Stand fast in the Lord.” My friend, the enemy may use the storm to try toshake your faith, but God can use that same storm to strengthen your faith. Sotoday, keep trusting Him. Keep believing His Word. Keep standing on Hispromises. The tempter may come, but our God is faithful!

A Question of Ethics: A Conversation on Courts and Ethics September 1st, 2026, EpisodeCourt professionals are committed to fairness, impartiality, and equal access, principles reflected in the NACM Model Code of Conduct. Yet many Americans believe the legal system operates on two tracks, one for those with financial resources and another for those without. This perception extends from landlord-tenant cases to family law, debt collection, consumer disputes, and other civil matters. Wealthier parties can afford attorneys, expert witnesses, and other resources, while lower-income individuals must often navigate complicated legal procedures alone. Does thispublic perception of a “two-tiered” system of justice have merit? If so, can courts do more to counter this perception? Courts cannot eliminate economic inequality; they canimprove how people experience the justice system. Many courts have created self-service areas where self-represented litigants can come to learn about court procedures and become more familiar with how the court operates.  On the other hand, self-service centers cannotadvise litigants on how to present a case to a judge. Are self-service centers enough to “balance the scales”?Frontline court staff play a particularly critical role because they are often the first, and sometimes only, court employees with whom litigants interact. Well-trained, empathetic staff can explain court procedures, provide legal information without giving legal advice, and help individuals feel heard and respected. These interactions significantly influence public trust and confidence in the courts. Procedural fairness is of vital importance. Even when legal outcomes cannot be changed, litigants are more likely to view the process as fair if they understand what is happening, are treated respectfully, and have an opportunity to tell their story. Meeting the litigant's "human need" to be seen and heard is just as important as meeting the "business need" of processing court paperwork efficiently. What more can courts do to address this serious need? Should courts reach beyond courthouse walls? Rather thanwaiting for people to seek assistance, can courts partner with legal aid organizations, bar associations, libraries, schools, and community organizations to provide legal information where people live? Examples include legal clinics held in community centers, outreach at neighborhood events, informational booths at public festivals, and educational campaigns using local media and social media. These efforts can help reduce fear of the courts and increase awareness of available legal resources.Technology offers additional opportunities but also raisesconcerns. Can artificial intelligence help self-represented litigants understand legal procedures and identify possible legal issues? However,  current AI systems can also produceinaccurate information and may not recognize the nuances of individual cases.While many self-represented litigants are already using AI tools, courts are reluctant to recommend them until issues involving accuracy, unauthorized practice of law, and disclosure requirements are better resolved.Today's PanelCreadell Webb Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Officer, 1st Judicial District of Pennsylvania, PhiladelphiaRick Pierce Retired Judicial Programs Administrator, Administrative Office of the Courts,Mechanicsburg, PennsylvaniaTJ BeMent Court Administrator, 10th Judicial Administrative District, Athens, GeorgiaNorman Meyer Retired Clerk of Court, Bankruptcy Court, District of New MexicoKaylee Jensen Political Science Student & Government Ethics Fellow at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics, Santa Clara University, CaliforniaErica Payne-Santiago Deputy Court Administrator for the Circuit Court for Prince George's County, MarylandDevin Kuntz District Court Administrator 11th Judicial District in Kalispell, Montana   

How should we be sharing our faith in the public square? Paul gives us some great instruction about dealing with with those outside the faith. In Colossians 4:5-6 he says, "Conduct yourself with wisdom towards outsiders (those outside of the faith). Let your speech be with grace, seasoned as it were with salt, so that you know how to respond to each person."I think Paul is following his own instruction and we should too.Acts 17:16-17 tells of Paul's time in Athens:"Now while Paul was waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was being provoked within him as he observed that the city was full of idols. So he was reasoning in the synagogue with the Jews and the God-fearing Gentiles, and in the marketplace every day with those who happened to be present." >>Watch on YouTube

On peut le dire, certains pirates ont marqué l'Histoire, ou en tout cas ils nous ont laissé une trace qui, quand on regarde la mer, ressurgit soudain dans notre imaginaire. Des pirates comme, par exemple, Barbe Noire, ou Jack Rackam. Mais si j'adore leur histoire, j'ai envie de changer un peu et de vous parler de pirates que vous connaissez sans doute moins bien. Et j'en ai des histoires de pirates violents, rusés, des as qui planqueront bien au chaud leur trésor et certains qu'on qualifiera même d'ennemi de l'humanité. Et pour ça, j'ai envie de lancer un petit cocorico, de ne pas hisser le pavillon noir, mais le drapeau bleu-blanc-rouge : c'est parti pour un petit top des pirates français !Bonne écoute !

A man famous for being “just” helps design the money machine that keeps a war fleet at sea, and that tension sits at the heart of this Patreon bonus for August 2026. We stay with the Delian League, but instead of treating it as an abstract institution, we follow the life and reputation of Aristides and ask why so many Greeks trusted him at the exact moment a new alliance had to be built.We pick up after the Greek victories that loosen Persian control on the Anatolian coast and across the Aegean. Newly independent cities need lasting security, Sparta hesitates to stay committed offshore, and Athens sees both duty and advantage in leading. From Aristides' early role in Athenian politics to the rivalry with Themistocles, his ostracism, and his recall during Xerxes' invasion, we track how his credibility gets forged at Marathon, Salamis, and Plataea, including the way he handles disputes and even an internal conspiracy without sparking wider chaos.Then we move to Delos in 478 BC, where the Delian League is organized with clear aims, shared friends and enemies, and a symbolic oath meant to signal permanence. We break down the practical choices that make the league function: who provides ships, who pays cash, why Aristides assesses contributions toward a massive annual target, and how governance is split between a synod of members, Athens as military hegemon, and a treasury kept on Delos. We also tee up the big historical question we'll tackle next: did Aristides build a noble alliance that later generations warped, or did the foundations of the Athenian Empire exist from day one?If you enjoy deep dives into the Greco-Persian Wars, Athenian history, and how the Delian League evolves into empire, subscribe, share this bonus episode, and leave a review with your take on Aristides' intentions.Support the show

Buck Belue breaks down what he saw from the Georgia Bulldogs during their second scrimmage of the 2026 season on the latest episode of Buck’s Beat. With kickoff approaching, Buck shares his biggest takeaways from Kirby Smart’s team and the players who stood out between the hedges. Buck dives into Georgia’s running back room, including Nate Frazier and Chauncey Bowens, and explains why he believes the Bulldogs have one of the best one-two punches in college football. He also discusses Georgia’s emphasis on creating more explosive plays and why Bowens could be in for a major season. The Georgia wide receiver room is another major topic, with Buck highlighting transfer Isaiah Canyon and his potential impact in the Bulldogs’ offense. Canyon joins the podcast to discuss his transition from Georgia Tech, his chemistry with Gunner Stockton and the competition against Georgia’s elite defense. Buck also breaks down the ongoing battle for Georgia’s backup quarterback job between Ryan Puglisi and Ryan Montgomery, including what he saw from Montgomery during the scrimmage. Plus, Buck examines the Bulldogs’ defensive front, the need for more pressure off the edge and his conversation with Georgia linebacker Quintavious Johnson. Finally, Buck looks ahead to Georgia’s early-season schedule and explains why the Bulldogs need to use the opening games to prepare for SEC play before Oklahoma comes to Sanford Stadium. And Buck makes the case for Gunner Stockton, discussing his impressive advanced metrics from last season, his offseason development and why protecting himself while enjoying his final season in Athens will be critical.

“There's no exit in capitalism.” — Jeremy Adelman Is that ongoing quarrel of modern politics, the battle over capitalism, just a storm in a teacup? Economic historian Jeremy Adelman thinks it might be. In The Capitalist Era, Adelman argues that all camps — left and right, Keynesian and Hayekian, socialist and libertarian — accept the unavoidability of global capitalism. There is no alternative, as Mrs Thatcher used to annoyingly say. Although Adelman, certainly no Thatcherite, isn't celebrating the apparent inevitability of our capitalist epoch. What interests Adelman is the making and unmaking of what he calls the “global mind.” The revolutionary quality of capitalism, he says, is that we now think of strangers as somehow part of our community. So when Adam Smith, the moral philosopher father of economics, drank his Chinese tea while reading of a deadly earthquake in China, he recognized that capitalism inevitably entangled our moral thoughts with our self-interest. It wasn't just economists who began to think differently of strangers. Artists as varied as Picasso, Joseph Conrad, and the photography-obsessed Émile Zola all made this moral inquiry of strangers the heart of their work. Yes, Adelman is probably right to say there's no capitalist off-ramp in our post-global economy. But capitalism's octopus-like “global mind” and its (mis)treatment of strangers should turn all economists into moral philosophers and all artists into observers of economics. Five Takeaways •       The Mind, Not the Material. Against Sven Beckert's material history (which Adelman admired and reviewed in Foreign Affairs), The Capitalist Era studies how we think about capitalism — because the thinking sets the policies, creates the attachments, fuels the wars, and builds the institutions. Capitalism, on his dating, is an eighteenth-century invention that dawns with Adam Smith's “commercial society”: the first economic system to tie strangers across the whole planet into one interdependent web — global from the very start. Its founding text is a thought experiment: Smith's gentleman of humanity, drinking Chinese tea while reading of a Chinese earthquake, asked whether he minds the deaths of thousands as much as the pain in his little finger. The marketplace entangles our moralities — and the question of whether sympathy can keep pace with self-interest has governed the global mind ever since.•       No Exit in Capitalism. For or against? A fair question with a layered answer: we are all heirs to the Marxist tradition — inequality and exploitation are inherent to interdependence, and “the propensity to be predatory coexists with the propensity to be empathetic.” But the trap is real: “there's no exit in capitalism” — leaving is so punitive that every socialist revolution has paid catastrophically, a logic Adelman calls part of “the awful cunning” of the Trump administration's economic statecraft. Keynes versus Hayek? When Andrew suggested it amounted to a family squabble — a storm in a teacup — Adelman largely agreed: both camps accept that we live inside capitalism, arguing only over how to live interdependently. No exit, though, doesn't mean no alternatives: the argument worth recovering — lost since the globalization of the 1980s was “dumped on us” — is which form of interdependence we actually want. Gramsci's interregnum, the time for monsters, is exactly when that argument matters.•       The Veil Between Strangers. The book's gallery: not only philosophers but artists — Picasso, the poets, Borges (“I have a hard time writing any book without” him) — and above all photographers, because how we think about strangers is mediated through media. Smith's verb was to see: the stranger's invisibility was the whole problem, and photography — cheap to reproduce, claiming realism — promised to remove the veil. Zola was obsessed with it; street photography made New York and London legible as cities of vice and poverty; and the Opium War photographs that reached London in the 1860s forced a scandal, because this suffering was inflicted by our own troops. But seeing bred a new problem Smith never foresaw: indifference — too many images numbing the sympathies they were meant to awaken. In today's supersaturation of digital and artificially generated strangers, the early doubters' warning compounds: market interdependence plus growing indifference between the interdependent is “a recipe for calamity.”•       Earth Hunger. The charge that capitalism is eating the planet is as old as capitalism: the era of Hobson's Imperialism named the West's insatiable appetite to conquer and carve — “earth hunger” — after the Boer War. Joseph Conrad and Roger Casement traveled the Congo River together: Conrad turned it into Heart of Darkness; Casement wrote the first great humanitarian reports — rubber for Europe's bicycles and tires, extermination for the Congolese and then Amazonians — before renouncing the crown, joining the Irish rebellion, and hanging for treason. Slavery runs through the same river: on Smith's mind from the start, the plantation bonanza's awkward foundation, with dehumanization as extraction's precondition — a through line to the 1930s. To James Crawford's vanishing earth (last week's episode), Adelman offers a friendly dissent: the earth isn't vanishing, but the accelerating metabolism of resources — extracted inhumanely for those who live there — is stressing the system. Alternatives exist; exit does not.•       Hoard the Returns, Externalize the Burdens. Adelman refuses the apocalypse chorus: end-time arguments breed cynicism — grab what you can while you can — which is precisely what turned the 1930s murderous; and the great debate the 2008 crisis should have sparked was stifled by crisis management that worked too well. “Neoliberalism” he finds overblown — the world is a mixed, messy hybrid, China neither socialist nor neoliberal — and the Thucydides Trap is a “silly metaphor”: Sparta and Athens were never as interdependent as China and the United States. Hence the closing duel: Carney versus Trump as two arguments inside the global mind about how to need strangers. Trump, the Toronto-born historian argues, is no isolationist — his is a global vision that wants to “hoard the returns and externalize the burdens,” punishing the asymmetrically dependent (Canada above all) through a predator's bilateralism whose 1930s pedigree Adelman names with discomfort. And China? Sitting on the sidelines, courting Canada, playing “an old game” of constructing and dividing markets — as old as the global mind itself. About the Guest Jeremy Adelman is the Henry Charles Lea Professor Emeritus at Princeton University and professor of history and director of the Global History Lab at the University of Cambridge.

Sparta can't beat Athens at sea without money, and Persia can't claw back Ionia without Greek help. That single, uncomfortable truth kicks off the Ionian War, and it turns the late Peloponnesian War into something colder and more transactional than ever. We pick the narrative back up right as Persian influence returns to the Aegean not with armies, but with silver.We start with the post-Sicily landscape: Athens is wounded, its allies are restless, and Sparta finally senses a path to cracking the Athenian Empire by encouraging revolts. Thucydides shows how messy that plan becomes in practice. Earthquakes, festivals, and competing priorities stall the Peloponnesian fleet, and Athens uses the breathing room to investigate Chios, shadow enemy movements, and even score a demoralizing Spartan setback near Corinth that proves Athens is still dangerous on the water.Then Alcibiades steps into the gap. From inside Sparta, he keeps the Chios operation alive, manipulates rival power centers, and rides with a tiny squadron that helps flip one of Athens' strongest naval allies. Once Chios goes, defections spread across the Anatolian coast and the stakes jump again when Miletus joins the revolt. That opens the door for Tissaphernes to negotiate the first Sparta-Persia treaty under Darius II, a vague agreement whose irony is impossible to miss: Sparta, once the face of Greek resistance, now helps Persia reassert claims over Greek cities.We close with Athens' counterpunch: securing Samos as a vital naval base, checking revolt on Lesbos, tightening pressure on Chios, and winning outside Miletus before wisely withdrawing when major reinforcements arrive, including Syracusan crews fresh from the destruction of the Sicilian Expedition. The result is an uneasy balance at the end of 412 BC, and a set of big questions that drive everything next: can Persian gold become lasting Spartan sea power, and can Athens hold the line with a thinning fleet?If you're enjoying Casting Through Ancient Greece, subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review so more listeners can find the series.

Richard found himself first on the upgrade list with two seats remaining, only to see those seats occupied by non-revenue flight attendants. That leads into a much bigger debate over a family reportedly downgraded from business class on a Miami–Milan flight to accommodate deadheading pilots. The guys discuss the important difference between deadheading and non-rev travel, whether award passengers should be more vulnerable to downgrades, and why these decisions can undermine airline loyalty. Then, Flying Blue is introducing Light, Standard and Flex award tickets, effectively bringing the unbundling trend to award travel. A Light business-class award can mean no advance seat assignment, no lounge access and no changes or refunds. Flying Blue elites retain some benefits, but Ed and Richard worry about what this trend means for everyone sitting on a pile of airline miles. They also react to Starlux selling miles for a whopping four cents apiece and do the math on whether buying enough for a business-class award could possibly make sense. Spoiler alert: they're not reaching for their wallets. Plus, Alaska Airlines is expanding its international ambitions with new Seattle flights to Paris and Athens, and the FAA has Ed and Richard debating one of the most pressing issues in aviation: apparently, your pre-departure beverage could be an evacuation hazard.
