In this heartfelt episode of The Sacred Speaks, John Price sits down with longtime spiritual guide and Franciscan friar, Father Richard Rohr. Together they explore the deeper dimensions of happiness and meaning—moving far beyond cultural clichés. Drawing on Richard's decades of integrating psychology, spirituality, and mysticism, the conversation challenges conventional ideas of happiness as mere pleasure or circumstance. Instead, Richard invites us to embrace a “just right mind”—a way of living that balances ego, suffering, and joy. Speaking with candor and humility, he reflects on aging, facing death, and the transformative power of love, community, and humor. This conversation is a profound invitation to shift from sin management to radical compassion and participation in a bigger, joyful universal flow. Key Takeaways True happiness emerges from a “just right mind” that balances enough ego to appreciate life without judgment or denial. Happiness is not external comfort, but the capacity to meet suffering with grace and mindfulness. Radical acceptance and surrender open us to a joy larger than the self. Humor and community sustain lightheartedness and connection in the face of life's challenges.

Today our guest is Dr. Dan Watkins, associate professor of history and co-director of the digital humanities initiative at Baylor University.  Dan's work sits at the crossroads of religion, culture, and politics in early modern Europe. His first book examines how the Jesuits engaged with and responded to the intellectual debates of the French Enlightenment. Dan is currently pursuing two exciting new projects: a digital history study on how missionary writings shaped European views of the wider world, and a monograph on religion and emigration in the borderlands of eastern France during the French Revolution. In addition to his research, Dan is deeply invested in pedagogy and the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, where he explores how we teach history and how students engage with it. We are delighted to have Dr. Watkins on the show to discuss teaching empathy through history, bringing historical documents to life, and gamifying the less-exciting elements of your course.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, no, PM Benjamin Netanyahu didn't prolong the Gaza war for personal political gain, these claims overlook the strategic benefits of his persistence. Netanyahu has accepted a Trump-brokered deal on his stated terms: full hostage release, dismantling of Hamas's military and governance, and Israeli troops remaining to enforce it, with U.S. backing if needed. The left dismisses this as impossible, but Netanyahu's refusal to settle earlier allowed Israel to achieve key victories ultimately securing better terms than Hamas's prior demands for full Israeli withdrawal. Also, Hamas refuses to disarm, disband, or leave Gaza, instead conducting mass executions against rival clans, militias, and suspected Israeli spies while controlling aid distribution. As Israel withdraws from certain areas, Hamas is filling the resulting vacuum, and it raises questions about the role of Arab and Muslim countries in the planned phase two to take control. Prolonged chaos may force Israel to re-engage, which may end up in more IDF deaths. Later, Democrats are employing Marxist-Leninist propaganda tactics, such as personalizing boogeymen, centralizing power, restricting freedoms, packing the Supreme Court, and altering the citizenry via immigration for political gain. “On Power" explains negative repetition as a technique exploiting the mere exposure effect to foster familiarity and acceptance of falsehoods, eroding reason, moral clarity, and independent thought. The left uses sloganeering and symbols as tools for manipulation, conformity, and groupthink. This language from power-hungry malcontents pursues utopian ideologies that crumble societies.

In this video, Patrick Coffin reviews the teaching of the New Testament on capital punishment (since the Old Testament is so obviously supportive) and how consistent and strong the teaching is, rooted in the Bible and the natural moral law.   Biblical Record:   Civil Authority: Romans 13:1–4 The state bears the sword by divine mandate   Personal Example: Acts 25:10–11 Paul accepts death if guilty   Criminal Justice: Luke 23:39–43 Jesus affirms the thief's confession of just punishment   Divine Delegation John 19:10–11 Authority to punish comes from God   Mosaic Context John 19:7 Mosaic law included capital punishment; not abrogated as immoral   Divine Precedent: Acts 5:1–11 God directly punishes by death   Judicial Authority: 1 Peter 2:13–14 Governors punish wrongdoers as God's agents   Theological Analogy: Hebrews 10:28–29 Death penalty as model of divine justice   Apocalyptic Symbolism: Revelation 19:11–15 Christ wields the “sword” of righteous judgment Philosophy: Drawing on Edward Feser and Joseph Bessette's book By Man Shall His Blood Be Shed—a rigorous exploration of justice, deterrence, and moral order.  

To foster the best outcomes for our children and families, we need to shape culture, not be shaped by it. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the role families play in engaging the culture for God's Kingdom. He shares the biblical, God-given design for marriage, roles of spouses, and children. To give guidance on how to be a culture-changer, Pastor Allen also talks about King Hezekiah as a model for us. Deception is rampant in media, and it's hard to know what to trust, but we can start at our kitchen tables by encouraging our families to lean into God's Truth.

Send us a textThis week, I'm celebrating the first birthday of my novel, A Seat at the Table. Just as the songs I feature each week point readers back to Scripture, I wrote my book to do the same. Joy's story may be fictional, but the truths she wrestles with are very real. Together, let's use elements of her journey to launch us into Scripture as we consider the authority of God's Word and how we can apply it to our lives.In this episode, we dive into David's story in 1 Chronicles. At first, David relies on his mighty men for advice on moving the Ark of the Covenant—but he doesn't consult God's Word. The result is tragic. Later, David pauses, goes back to the Scriptures, and discovers God's clear instructions. His course correction reminds us that our good intentions aren't enough—we need God's truth to guide us.Key PointsJoy's struggle is our struggle: She longs for guidance but keeps choosing the wrong voices because she doesn't have a firm biblical standard.The Authority of Scripture: God's Word isn't just helpful—it is the inspired Word of God, sufficient to guide our decisions and shape our worldview.David's lesson in 1 Chronicles 13: Like Joy, David consulted wise advisors and thought he was doing the right thing, but he failed to seek God's way through God's Word.A holy pause: When life goes sideways, pause, take your questions before the Lord, and let His Word bring clarity and direction.Additional ResourcesDownload the free Episode GuideMichelle's guest appearance on The Company podcast - YouTube LinkA Seat at the Table - a Christian Redemption Novel by Michelle Nezat - Amazon Paid LinkBible Interaction Roadmap Bible Study - videos and assignments that will equip you with habits you can use over and over in your own Bible Study - Learn MoreLearn more about my favorite Bible Study Software with a 30-day free trial and links to my favorite Bible resources - Logos Bible Software Affiliate LinkThis Week's ChallengeRead 1 Chronicles 10-16 to get the full context of what is happening with David and the Ark of the Covenant.

Delegated Authority

In the spring of 1990, families across Britain began reporting visits from strangers claiming to be social workers.  They spoke with authority, carried clipboards, even asked to photograph or examine children — and then vanished. Police launched Operation Childcare, a nationwide manhunt involving more than twenty forces, but no arrests were ever made. Were these criminals, insiders, or the product of a moral panic born from fear and mistrust? Join John Williamson by the fireside as we unravel one of the strangest unsolved mysteries of late-20th-century Britain — a story where rumor met authority, and where fear itself became the evidence.    

Coleton began with a piercing question: “How much do you think Jesus agrees with the way you live your life?” He invited listeners to imagine Jesus observing everything—how they spend time and money, how they treat people, what they watch, post, and prioritize. Would Jesus agree with most of it, or would He find much to challenge and correct? Coleton quoted author Anne Lamott: “You can safely assume you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.” Then he adapted it: “You can safely assume you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God agrees with everything you do.” He reminded the congregation that Jesus does disagree with us—and that it's not a mark of rejection but of love. Since He is infinite, holy, and perfect, and we are finite and sinful, it only makes sense that His view of our lives will often clash with ours. “Jesus' disagreement with sin in our lives led to the most loving act anyone could do for another person—to lay down His life for them.” Coleton emphasized that in our culture, disagreement is often seen as unloving—but Scripture teaches the opposite. Jesus loves us enough to confront what destroys us. The key question, then, becomes: “What is your response when Jesus disagrees with you?” From Mark 11:27–33, Coleton showed three wrong ways to respond when Jesus disagrees with us—and one right one. 1. Questioning Jesus' Authority (vv. 27–28) “By what authority are you doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave you authority to do this?” The religious leaders asked Jesus this because He had just cleansed the temple and publicly called them out as a “den of robbers.” They weren't questioning because they were curious—they were questioning because He disagreed with them. Coleton said: “If Jesus had agreed, they wouldn't have questioned. They would have used Him to prove their points.” And we do the same. When a verse affirms our views or lifestyle, we post it, memorize it, and celebrate it. But when Scripture disagrees with us—when it calls out sin, pride, greed, gossip, or unforgiveness—we tend to ignore it, reinterpret it, or go silent. “We question His authority by avoiding the verses that disagree with us.” Coleton illustrated this with historical examples of people literally cutting parts out of the Bible: Thomas Jefferson's Bible, which removed miracles and Jesus' divinity. The “Slave Bible,” edited by slave owners to remove verses about freedom and equality. The Nazi Bible, which stripped out all Jewish references and messages of mercy. “They didn't argue that the verses were untrue—they just silenced them.” Then he asked a haunting question: “If a Bible were written based on your life, what would it include—and what would it exclude?” He called this the “MPT”—My Personal Translation—the version of the Bible where “Jesus agrees with every decision I make.” Reflection We may not use scissors like Jefferson, but we do it subtly in our hearts—ignoring passages like: “Forgive as you've been forgiven.” “Love your enemies.” “Give sacrificially.” “Do not gossip.” “Live at peace with everyone.” Coleton challenged listeners to ask: “Where do you question Jesus by simply silencing verses that disagree with you?” 2. Seeking to Discredit Jesus (v. 28) Coleton explained that the religious leaders' question wasn't sincere—it was a trap. “They don't actually want to know. They're trying to find a reason not to listen.” William Lane, in his commentary, observes: “Whatever answer Jesus gives, the conclusion is the same: He must be arrested. If He attests that His authority is from God, the charge is blasphemy. If He claims secular authority, the charge is insurrection.” Their goal wasn't truth—it was to discredit Jesus so they wouldn't have to change. “They knew they couldn't disprove Him, so they tried to discredit Him.” Coleton drew a parallel to how we do the same today—finding reasons why Jesus' words don't apply to us: The Feels – “That doesn't feel right.” Your Truth – “That might be true for you, but not for me.” The Snowflake Situation – “My situation is different.” The Cultural Argument – “That was for a different time.” Proof-texting – Quoting a verse out of context to justify sin. Minimizing – “It's not a big deal; God will forgive me.” Justifying – “They made me do it. I deserve this.” Comparison – “At least I'm not as bad as that person.” Calling the Bible Outdated – “That doesn't fit in the modern world.” He quoted Tim Keller: “Society makes judgments through what C.S. Lewis called ‘chronological snobbery,' assuming that whatever has gone out of date is discredited.” Coleton said: “All of these are ways we say, ‘I don't have to do that because…'” And every time we do, we're discrediting Jesus' authority in our lives. We're finding clever excuses to stay unchanged. He asked pointedly: “Where do you say to God's Word, ‘That doesn't apply to me because…'?” 3. Refusing to Admit You're Wrong (vv. 29–33) When Jesus asks about John's baptism, the religious leaders discuss it among themselves and say: “If we say ‘from heaven,' He'll ask why we didn't believe him. If we say ‘of human origin,' the people will turn on us.” So they choose neither—they simply say, “We don't know.” Coleton summarized: “They refused to admit they were wrong.” Their hearts were hardened by pride and self-protection. They cared more about image and position than about truth. “So they go with, ‘We're not wrong. We just don't know.'” Coleton explained that we often react the same way: Some get angry, scaring others away from confronting them. Some get quiet and hurt, shutting down correction. Some deny or deflect, blaming others. Some avoid anyone who might challenge them—skipping counseling, ignoring Scripture, cutting off truth-tellers. “If you never admit you're wrong, you'll never grow, never change, never heal.” He pointed out that the story ends abruptly—no one changed, nothing improved—and that's what happens to us when we refuse correction. “Places where we're desperate for change—healing, reconciliation—will stay the same if we refuse to be wrong.” Whether it's in marriage, parenting, finances, or character, refusing to be wrong means refusing to be transformed. Conclusion: Jesus Disagrees Because He Loves You Coleton closed with a tender image: “Jesus disagrees with you the way a guardrail disagrees with a car about to go off a cliff.” Guardrails aren't there to restrict—they're there to protect. “He disagrees with you not to hurt you, but to help you.” He compared it to fatherhood: “When my son Teddy was little, I disagreed with his desire to crawl or stay in diapers. Not because I'm cruel—but because I love him and want him to grow.” That's how Jesus treats us. He disagrees with our sin because He wants us to mature and flourish. The cross is the greatest example: “The cross shows how much He disagrees with sin—someone had to die for it. But it also shows how much He loves us—He took the punishment Himself.” His disagreement isn't rejection—it's redemption. He corrects us not to restrict our joy, but to lead us to real joy. “There are things He wants to do in your life—things you've prayed for—but you and Jesus disagree on how to get there.” So instead of questioning Him, discrediting Him, or refusing to be wrong—respond with humility. “Let Him disagree with you. Let Him lead you from something lesser into something better.” Discussion Questions What areas of your life do you think Jesus would most disagree with, and why do you think those areas are hard to surrender? Which of the three wrong responses—questioning, discrediting, or refusing to admit wrong—do you most identify with? Can you think of a time when Jesus' disagreement actually led to your growth or freedom? Why is it difficult for us to believe that disagreement and love can coexist—and how does the cross change that perspective? What practical step could you take this week to respond to Jesus' correction with humility instead of defensiveness?

Deborah Campbell, an advocate for parental rights in education, discusses the dangers of school-based healthcare centers. She argues that these centers, which provide medical services to all students, infringe on parental authority and violate the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Campbell emphasizes that while school-based services are protected under IDEA for special education students, school-based healthcare centers are not and can lead to the overreach of parental rights.   School-based health centers funded by Medicaid are raising concerns about parental rights and government overreach. These centers, which provide medical and mental health services to students, are seen as a form of socialism and a violation of parental authority. Additionally, there are concerns about the lack of informed consent and the potential for medical procedures to be performed on children without parental knowledge or approval.   School-based healthcare centers are being implemented in Oklahoma schools, but the details are not being shared with parents. Informed consent is crucial, and parents should be aware of the risks and alternatives associated with these programs. Parents are encouraged to advocate for their children by actively participating in their education and healthcare decisions.   Deborah Campbell's writing on Substack about parental rights in Oklahoma K-12 education is highlighted. The importance of sharing this information to raise awareness is emphasized.   Check out my sponsors!  Stevens Trucking www.stevenstrucking.com   Motus Health motushealth.com

In this message, Pastor Brandon continues our study in the Gospel of Matthew—focusing on the **Sermon on the Mount**, where the Messiah reveals His divine authority to correctly interpret the Law of Moses. Jesus contrasts His interpretation with that of the Pharisees, exposing the difference between **external religion** and **internal righteousness**. He reveals that true righteousness comes from the heart—not mere outward obedience. Pastor Brandon also explains: - Why Jesus said He came not to destroy the Law but to fulfill it - The difference between the **Law of Moses** and the **Law of the Messiah** - The eternal moral principles that still apply today - How selective, "cafeteria-style" Christianity affects rewards in the Kingdom - The danger of false teaching, cultural compromise, and the need to stand firm in biblical truth This message challenges all believers to walk in holiness, discern truth from deception, and boldly proclaim Christ in an age of moral confusion.
