We don't want us to think about healing and wholeness as something reserved for a few special people or a few dramatic moments. We have been built to encounter His love, experience His transforming power, and then learn how to extend the miraculous to those around us. This is our mission, as a church! As Christians, we are called to partner with the love and power of Jesus in a broken world. Part of that invitation is to give away what we have received. So this awakening is two-fold – healing for us, and healing through us. In the same way that doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law, Christians are invited to practice healing. We like to say it this way – What God does in you, He wants to do through you!

When life hits us with unexpected stress and anxiety, we often try to stabilize ourselves using flimsy temporary fixes that quickly flatten under pressure. Drawing from Psalm 16, this episode challenges us to stop relying on spiritual quick fixes and instead anchor our faith securely in the unyielding, 24/7 presence of God.

Dianne shares personal stories and revelation concerning faith, trust and healing, as well as important principles listed below. These are foundations that Holy Spirit laid, that still remain a part of the Vineyard Church of Central Illinois.- JESUS WILL ALWAYS BE THE HERO. HE IS THE HEALER.- We will always believe the incredible truth that our God is a God of healing. He wants us whole in every way, and He wants us to give that away to others.- We will always welcome and honor the Holy Spirit and His fresh infilling.- We will always make God's Word our top priority for studying, meditating, confessing, and believing.- We will always make faith a priority — trusting God through difficult times, persevering, worshiping and praising, and hanging on no matter what.- We will always believe in the power of prayer.- We will always be hungry, humble, and teachable and stay committed to doing life in community--the church family.

The awakened life is not the life of someone who never fails. It is the life of someone who keeps returning to Jesus. When the Holy Spirit convicts us, we come into the light. There we discover what David discovered: the mercy of God is greater than our worst failure. Jesus did not save us merely so we could avoid judgment someday. He saved us to awaken us to life with Him right now. This life isn't about sin avoidance, it's about SON awareness. The Son of God, Jesus, is where we fix our attention.

There's a story about the Buddha bowing to the tree under which he has just gained Enlightenment. Inspired by this this story, Vajragupta sees the whole path to Awakening in terms of gratitude. The grasping mind cannot feel grateful. But the Awakened know and feel just how deeply they are supported and enabled by other people, other life, and conditions in the world around them. Vajragupta uses poetry and anecdotes to give four suggestions for "turning our lives into gratitude". He sees the practice of gratitude as a wisdom or insight practice. From the mind-set and perspective of gratitude, the world becomes larger, more beautiful and abundant, and we naturally wish to give back. This talk was given at Croydon Buddhist Centre, 2025. *** Help us keep FBA Podcasts free for everyone!

Awakened people reorder their lives around God's Presence. We often want God's blessing, power, or help without truly re-centering our lives around His presence. We instinctively build our lives around protecting ourselves, while awakened people learn to build their lives around God's presence.

Ephesians 6:16 with Pastor Greg Denham

Canadian content creator Jasmeet Raina is back with the third season of Late Bloomer, a half-hour comedy series inspired by his own life as a turban-wearing Punjabi Canadian millennial. He talks to Tom Power about learning the world of television, how he's evolved from feeling like an “imposter” in the industry, and what it's like to receive over a dozen Canadian Screen Award nominations for a show he fought to make happen.

In this session the Dharma talk was given by Lama Matthew Palden Gocha, May 17, 2026.  Music was provided by Barefoot Bran Music.

Saul's life teaches us powerful lessons about the connection between character and calling, God's desire for trust and obedience over control and outward religious activity, and how our response to correction can shape the direction of our lives.

Episode 289-Remember Bryan Malinowski Also Available OnSearchable Podcast Transcript Gun Lawyer — Episode Transcript Page – 1 – of 14 Gun Lawyer — Episode 289 Transcript SUMMARY KEYWORDS ATF raid, Brian Malinowski, unlicensed dealer, Arkansas lawmakers, DOJ investigation, no-knock warrant, self-defense, gun laws, Biden administration, Waco incident, Ruby Ridge, gun deserts, consumer protection, defensive property, gun rights. SPEAKERS Evan Nappen, Teddy Nappen, Speaker 2 Evan Nappen 00:17 I’m Evan Nappen. Teddy Nappen 00:19 and I’m Teddy Nappen. Evan Nappen 00:21 And welcome to Gun Lawyer. Teddy Nappen 00:24 So. Evan Nappen 00:25 Teddy, what’s up, man? Teddy Nappen 00:28 Well, just flipping through Ammoland from John Crump, by John Crump. I never even heard of this story. Like, I’m going to be very honest. I did not know this happened under the, by the ATF. Arkansas lawmakers are demanding the DOJ investigate the ATF raid on Brian Malinowski. (https://www.ammoland.com/2026/05/arkansas-lawmakers-doj-investigation-atf-raid-bryan-malinowski/) Evan Nappen 00:54 Are you talking about Malinowski? Teddy Nappen 00:56 Yeah, Malinowski. When reading the article, I was shocked, because I remember from all the criminal procedures of like, what you would do. And I’m like, this is the, I was getting flashbacks to watching the Waco documentary, from reading, like. Page – 2 – of 14 Evan Nappen 01:14 Teddy, let me explain. Yeah, I’m familiar with the Malinowski case. So, Malinowski was a total law-abiding guy. No priors, no issues, a law -abiding guy. He lived in, I believe, it was Alabama, and he was gun collector. He’d go to gun shows, and he would trade for guns. Sell private sale guns, etc., okay? A collector. And what happened was, as you may recall, the Biden bull garbage that we were dealing with. Trying to turn people into dealers who weren’t dealers. Well, ATF apparently believed that Mr. Malinowski was being an unlicensed gun dealer. Now, here’s the thing. He is a professional, first of all. As I recall, his background was in air traffic, you know, with the airline. Air Traffic Control, I think it was. Teddy Nappen 02:37 He was the, he looked like he was the head of the Clinton National Airport of Little Rock. Evan Nappen 02:43 Yeah. Here is a guy who’s a professional, head of an airport, that has his hobby of firearms, as many of us do. And Alabama is a private sale legal state. Teddy Nappen 02:56 I think it was Arkansas. Evan Nappen 02:59 Arkansas? Oh, yeah, yes, Arkansas, Arkansas. Teddy Nappen 03:02 Or the proper term, ArKansas. Evan Nappen 03:04 Well, it was legal for. Right! It was Arkansas, and it was legal to do. And what happened was just outrageous. They claimed he was in the business of selling firearms without an FFL. So, that’s the charge. You know whether they could prove it or not prove it or whatever, that’s what their claim was. And what happened was, ATF and Little Rock Police got a search warrant, and they came to his home at 6 am to look for evidence of wrongdoing. ATF breached the door with a battering ram. And I think, according to his wife, Malinowsky believed that these were intruders breaking into his home at 6 am, and he fired at the agents, not realizing, of course, what the hell’s going on. He hit one in the foot, and law officers there returned fire. Shooting Malinowski in the head and killing him dead. Evan Nappen 04:27 So, here’s what the lawmakers, they sent a letter to DOJ about this, and the letter reads, listen to this. “Awakened by the sound of the breach, Mr. Malinowski retrieved a handgun and encountered an armed silhouette entering his home. He fired toward the intruder’s feet. An ATF agent immediately returned fire, striking Mr. Malinowski in the forehead and killing him. Mrs. Malinowski was standing only inches behind him.” Now, this is activity by ATF, where they are going after, you know, what is essentially paperwork crime, if it even qualifies as crime. They busted down his door at 6 am. How come this was done as a no knock for this guy? Who knows? Crazy. He ends up getting killed. And yet here, Teddy, you didn’t even hear about it. Yet, we take cases with, and hear about cases with, with ICE, right? Page – 3 – of 14 Teddy Nappen 05:46 Pretti and Good. (Alex) Pretti and (Renee) Good. Evan Nappen 05:47 Yeah, Pretti and Good. Where, you know, with Renee Good, she was, you know, trying to run down, allegedly, this officer. She went there to protest. She was there knowing there was going to be agitation, knowing there’s going to be trouble going there. Same with Pretti, same with Pretti. Teddy Nappen 06:10 Who actually was fighting with the police. Evan Nappen 06:12 Fighting with them and going there. Evan Nappen 06:14 That’s not what happened here. We have a guy in his home! A law-abiding guy in his home, who at best, has paperwork violations. A licensing violation at best. Not even that that is necessarily legitimate, and he ends up shot in the head over the actions taken by ATF. And you don’t hear a peep about it in the lame stream media. Teddy Nappen 06:42 The other part that really, there’s two pieces that stick out. Three pieces, actually, stick out to me. Number one, the knock and announce. So, I remember, in criminal procedure, we talked about this. It is very important on the knock and announce for the officers. They waited 23 seconds. They knocked, waited 23 seconds, and then break the door down. They also had enough time to tape the camera, the doorbell camera. And no body cams, because apparently, their excuse was low funding. Not enough funding for body cams even though they are supposed to have. Evan Nappen 07:19 They had enough money to buy tape. Teddy Nappen 07:21 Yeah, they had enough money to buy tape. Yeah, they had enough. Evan Nappen 07:24 To cover the doorbell lock camera, cover the door. Look, if they’re there as law enforcement, don’t you want it known to this guy, who has no priors, who’s not a problem? Don’t you want it known that it’s law enforcement there? You want to make it crystal clear! Hey, Government, law enforcement here. Boom! You want to be seen on the Ring that you are law enforcement and not 6 am house hot invaders. Teddy Nappen 08:01 The other factor is there is clear. There have been other encounters with the ATF with this exact same scenario. You know what they did? They knocked on the door and said, Hi, we’re with the ATF. It’s the Page – 4 – of 14 Ring doorbell camera there. That situation. They’ll you say, No, I’m, you know, I’m not talking to you, or we’re here to arrest you. Okay, we’re, that’s it. They had so many other encounters where this could have been. But instead, they decided to go full Waco SWAT team and assassinate this man. Evan Nappen 08:30 It’s insane. It’s insane. And, you know, their history of activities. I mean, we know, you know, Waco was just horrible. They had a guy inside of the facility that could have easily made that encounter completely non- violent. Instead, way back in those days, you know, with Clinton and company, they did it to try to make an example out of this guy’s church, etc. And of course, it was all to “save the children”, to save the children, which all end up dying because of what they did. Teddy Nappen 09:13 And then tried to cover it up. Evan Nappen 09:13 With the fire, and then tried to cover it up. Oh, they bulldozed the scene as quick as they could afterwards. Teddy Nappen 09:20 Yeah. Evan Nappen 09:21 You know, because the stuff they used lit the place on fire. Teddy Nappen 09:28 My favorite was, if you do, you remember the hearings? Where you know how the you could clearly see the Dems trying to justify the ATF murdering people? Evan Nappen 09:36 Right! Teddy Nappen 09:37 Republicans fighting, and I love the one. Evan Nappen 09:39 Don’t forget Ruby Ridge as well. Teddy Nappen 09:41 Yep. Evan Nappen 09:42 I mean, over a shotgun barrel, that was where they entrapped the guy, literally entrapped the guy. They ended up paying like $3 million in civil damages for their actions there at Ruby Ridge. Okay? So this kind of rogue insanity, oh, it’s fine, as long as it’s on gun owners, you know. Page – 5 – of 14 Teddy Nappen 10:08 But this is the key. What really bothers me the most, Dad. The biggest question they’re asking from the lawmakers, the political motivation. The question remains, is whether the timing and aggressiveness of the operation were influenced by the impending rollout, by the ATF’s final ruling of the “engaged in the business of selling firearms”. So, imagine if, right now, and I always have to tell this to all those out there who are trying to say, you know, Republicans and Democrats are the exact same thing. Or should have just voted for Kamala Harris. Imagine Kamala Harris now with their current ATF, and they enforce that law, where you and I are going to be assassinated in the night by armed guards bursting in accusing people of being unlicensed. It’s disgusting! Evan Nappen 10:58 The armed agent nonsense of doing this. Luckily, you know, President Trump and his administration are taking steps now to remove, in the 39 rule proposals, remove that absurd “doing business” expansion that Biden did. So, basically, if you sell a gun, you’re considered a dealer under the old Biden. Ending the so-called, where even going after dealers themselves by saying, one error, one error, and you can lose your FFL completely. I mean, these activities are just outrageous. What takes place there barely gets any attention. But if you’re out there causing problems regarding other wrongdoers, that being illegal aliens, that are themselves having broken the law, and here they’re trying to protect other lawbreakers. And then you go to this cause a conflict, the media blows that all over the place. But here, this guy gets shot in the head in his home. Teddy Nappen 12:30 You know, it’s also people don’t talk about that, comparatively to the ICE tactics. The ICE tactics, what they do are actually far much more safer. They do everything they can to not escalate and just go full SWAT team and shoot people on that. The two extremes, where someone is trying to run you over with a car, or the other individual who is attacking and fighting with them, and then during the scarcity of when in the chaos of all them trying to hold him down the confusion, he gets shot. That’s the clear difference here. Let’s just say, for the sake of argument, justification, all right. He fired at them. They fired back. Looking at everything prior to where there was barely any knock. They taped the cameras. No body cams. They just went into the night. The wife says, I think there is an intruder. By the way, their warrant said not a dangerous threat, not a dangerous criminal. Evan Nappen 13:26 So, they were even told, so why are they taping the doorbell camera? Just act normal. You know, we’re here. We’re law enforcement. We have a warrant. Let us in. We have a warrant. I would bet you anything, as long as they made it clear they had a warrant, this guy is going to be okay. You have a warrant come in. Instead, he’s under this impression that his house is subject to a hot robbery. Teddy Nappen 13:53 Yeah, by the way, it’s dark. Where were the, you know, badges, anything, just to say, anyone, you bust down the door and yelled police on that front. SWAT teams are trained in that engagement where you’re going in to a situation, clearing rooms, if you’re going to go in that hot. I mean, where’s the justification for that? Where the guy had no priors, nothing. It’s insane. Page – 6 – of 14 Evan Nappen 14:17 It is. And, you know, I visited the site at Waco. If you ever get out there, they have a memorial site. This is, of course, not official, but they have it there, and you can pay a visit. You know, the I saw the actual warrant for Koresh for the raid on Waco. The actual search warrant that they were using. And one of the lines that stuck out to me was where they said they observed, when they had their inside man, that he had subversive literature there. This is actually in the warrant, in the affidavit for the warrant. That he had subversive literature. And the subversive literature, written in the warrant, was Shotgun News and Soldier of Fortune Magazine. Did you know that that’s known as subversive literature? SOF and Shotgun News. Yeah. That was Janet Reno. She was the Attorney General back then. Whoof. Bad news, bad news. Evan Nappen 15:29 And those incidents, you think they would learn from these other horror shows that they conducted. Not to pull that again. But once Democrats are pushing it, especially as you point out, when they want to make an example, they will try to do something like this to push their agenda. I’m sure that was part of their motivation. We’ve seen them try to lay groundwork anytime they want to push an agenda. A great example of it is the so- called, which you don’t hear about anymore after the incident, as you recall the Fast and Furious Operation. With the Fast and Furious Operation, they were providing arms to the Narco terrorists. So, the U.S. Government, through them, gave arms that supposedly had trackers or something to arm the bad guys. And one of the arms ended up killing a Federal officer later. (https://www.grassley.senate.gov/news/news-releases/facts-are-stubborn-things-connection-between-fast-and-furious-and-agent-terrys) I think it was Terry. Brian Terry was his name. They ended up killing Terry with guns supplied by the Government. Now, why were they doing this? Well, they were pursuing an anti-Second Amendment agenda. Teddy Nappen 16:52 Wasn’t it the steel pipeline? Evan Nappen 16:54 Well, the iron pipeline. What it was they. At the same time that they had tried this Fast and Furious Operation, to try to somehow demonstrate that guns are flowing from the U.S. to Narco terrorists. That’s when they also put in the multiple rifle reporting requirements on the border states. And that’s also when they changed the 4473 where you have to either admit or deny your Hispanic heritage. This was all part of this approach that was the iron pipeline idea. It blew up in their face. So, they had to abandon it after Fast and Furious. But that was their evil plan back then. So, it wouldn’t surprise me that this was part of their propaganda campaign, and it ends up with this guy shot in the head. It’s just outrageous. Teddy Nappen 17:59 As I recall, I think it was the head of the operation, during some interview where he’s talking about it. How we planned to put GPS trackers into the firearms to see where they ended up. And did you? No. They just handed the guns, just handed them over. Yeah, then when they found it for some murder or Page – 7 – of 14 some crime, they’re like, oh yeah. They trace the serial number, and like, oh, that’s one of ours. Our bad! Whoopsie. Evan Nappen 18:27 Yeah, yeah. So, as long as the U.S. Government was arming Narco terrorists, that’s okay. Teddy Nappen 18:34 I know, right? Evan Nappen 18:35 And putting guns into. You know, you see from the Left, and this even reflects in the Southern Poverty Law Center. Well, we don’t really have enough racism. So, I guess we’ll pay racists to make sure, you know. Hence, you get Charlotteville and all those things happening. By a creation. by the Left, to create the issue for them to then create more intrusion, more laws, more of their agenda by doing these operations. This is their M.O. Teddy Nappen 19:11 Take it a step further, Dad. You have to remember when it comes to the Left, and this is just, they recruit the mentally ill. I’ll give you the best one. 45% of liberals describe their mental health as poor. 45%. That’s right from a pole. Evan Nappen 19:29 I think that’s low. Teddy Nappen 19:29 It probably is higher, but this is my point. They recruit the mentally ill. They scream and call people Nazis, fascists. They’re going to kill you. They’re gonna go after your family. They’re doing everything they can. Evan Nappen 19:30 Pedos. Smear with everything they can come up with. Smear, smear, smear. Make sure you populate the internet with all the smears. Make sure you have the paid protesters pushing the smears. I mean, their propaganda machine is second to none. Teddy Nappen 20:02 And then when one of them, who’s mentally ill enough to say, yeah, let’s do it. And then tries to run down a hallway and get shot down by an MP7. Thank you, Secret Service. Or another individual tries to shoot at our President, multiple times, different ones. Evan Nappen 20:20 No. Now they want to blame, somehow it’s President Trump’s fault. Teddy Nappen 20:25 Yeah, yeah. Page – 8 – of 14 Evan Nappen 20:26 You know what? Teddy Nappen 20:27 It’s so disgusting. Evan Nappen 20:31 Well, and it’s not just Democrats, but also, as you call the black pillars. They don’t help the situation. Teddy Nappen 20:37 They’re the, I like what Stephen Crowder calls them. They’re the woke Right, the horseshoe Right. They’re saying they’re all the same, man. They’re all the same. Look at the inroads that Trump has made, and imagine. Do you really want to give the other party that power where they’ll send in a hit squad to kill you because they think you’re illegally selling guns? That is what you want? No, thank you. Do not hand it. You’re a bunch of accelerationists thinking that we’re gonna really make change. No, you’re handing power to the individuals that want to destroy us. That is insane. Evan Nappen 21:16 I mean, you know, look back just under the Biden administration, what we put up with. Curtailing freedom of speech, with the conspiracies that are shown to be absolute lies against the President and against Republicans. I mean, the stuff they did is unbelievable. I guess you saw Dan Bongino talking about the burn bag that has all that information in it. They wanted to burn it, and somehow ended up not burned. Somebody, I think, didn’t want that to get burned. Somebody there wanted the truth. Teddy Nappen 21:55 You also have to remember the Twitter files. Mark Zuckerberg admitting that he was pressured by the Biden administration to censor Republicans and the pressure that Democrats in charge to censor Republican and conservative voices. The YouTube censorship. All the big tech censorship, all up and down. Now you’re saying, no, no. Let’s give this back to the Left. It’s no. You’re ridiculous if you think that is actually a good strategy. So, yeah. Evan Nappen 22:23 Well, Teddy. Let me tell you what’s going on this week at WeShoot. So, WeShoot has Smith and Wesson Bodyguards, the 2.0 Performance Center, Carry Comp. This is a pretty hot gun. It’s ultra concealable, which is very important in New Jersey. And it has upgraded performance center tuning and an integrated compensator that keeps recall flat and control high. They also have the Radian Ramjet and Afterburner Barrel and Comp, which is really the ultimate Glock upgrade. It transforms that platform to having reduced muzzle rise, faster follow up and next level shooting dynamics. They also are offering the Daniel Defense DDM4 MK18, which is a short barrel legend with military roots, and that gun will deliver unmatched reliability and maneuverability in tight spaces. And you don’t want to miss Karly Morgan, she’s the “Dirt Bike” All-American Girl, bringing raw energy, independence and fearless spirit to the WeShoot lifestyle. Proving, once again, that freedom isn’t just protected, it’s lived. Page – 9 – of 14 Evan Nappen 23:57 And by the way, WeShoot is running a Mother’s Day special promo, and they have some great deals going on there. WeShoot is the place. It’s an indoor range conveniently located in Lakewood, right off the Parkway. It’s where Teddy and I shoot, and we get our training there. You can get your training there, too. Get your necessary CCARE certificates for New Jersey carry. You can get any of the beginner to advanced training. WeShoot really has it all. It’s a great range, great place. We love it. You’ll love it, too. Check out. weshootusa.com, weshootusa.com. Evan Nappen 24:47 Let me also shamelessly promote my book, New Jersey Gun Law, the Bible of New Jersey gun laws. It’s over 500 pages, 120 topics, all question and answer to guide you through the matrix of insanity that we call New Jersey gun law. It’s all done in that question and answer format. You’ll get answers to your legal questions out of that book in writing by me. That’s right. An attorney who has dedicated his life to defending law-abiding New Jersey gun owners and trying to make it so we don’t commit GOFUs. Because New Jersey is loaded with them. And protect yourself, man. Knowledge is power. Go to EvanNappen com. You’ll see the big orange book there and get a copy today. Hey, what else, Teddy, is on your mind that you’ve discovered? Teddy Nappen 25:47 So, this one came up recently. As everyone’s favorite, I am Spartacus, Senator Cory Booker. One of his staffers decided to bring a his carry into the Capitol. And every time I see that individual, I think of, didn’t you debate Cory Booker? Evan Nappen 26:09 I did. I debated Corey Booker. Teddy Nappen 26:11 When what was it? Evan Nappen 26:13 I debated Cory Booker a number of years ago on TV. He came in, and we were arguing about New Jersey gun laws. They brought him in as, big surprise, for the anti-Second Amendment arguments. And I’ll tell you upfront, as a person, he’s a very personable guy. Like personable. Talking to him, he’s friendly. But, of course, you know, the anti-gun arguments always fail. This was no different. Teddy Nappen 26:46 He’s a Gavin Newsom. He’s slick. Evan Nappen 26:48 Right. He’s slick. But you know, unfortunately, their agenda is that of being anti-rights. They love to claim that they, oh, I support the Second Amendment, BUT. It’s always that, BUT. And the but is, I want to ban all guns or whatever. But they somehow support the Second Amendment, and they’ve never met a gun law they didn’t like. So, so much for that lie. Page – 10 – of 14 Teddy Nappen 27:11 I always think of the Left. They always try. If they ever took power and packed the court, they’re just going to go to the Second Amendment and go, look, that’s a comma. See that comma? That means we can pass whatever we want, like. Evan Nappen 27:32 Well, it’s a living document. It’s a living document. In a modern society, there’s no reason why anyone needs, whatever, fill in the blank. Teddy Nappen 27:44 Yeah. Fill in the blank. Evan Nappen 27:45 As if need has got anything to do with anything. Teddy Nappen 27:48 You know, like the ATF rolling up on your house and trying to assassinate you. Evan Nappen 27:52 Well, you know, what do you need a sports car for? What do you need a supercharged bass boat for? What do you need any. You know, we’re not a needs-based society. We’re not each according to their needs. That ain’t us. Okay? Needs ain’t about it, all right? Teddy Nappen 28:14 Well, the Socialist got nothing to do with it. Evan Nappen 28:17 Yeah, and they do. Evan Nappen 28:18 And that’s a growing movement. You know, you hear the term Democrat socialist. The only difference between a Democrat socialist and a socialist is a Democrat socialist is trying to impose socialism by way of our elections and the political process, to make a socialist. And make the same. Yeah. Teddy Nappen 28:41 They’re communists. They’re just communists. They literally. You had Bernie Sanders honeymooning in the USSR, and you had Sean Penn praising Venezuela. And what was it? Jane Fonda and Cuba praising the Cuban regime. Evan Nappen 29:00 Just recently, Jayapal, the legislator, was caught trying to figure out how they can get oil past the U.S. sanctions embargo to Cuba. (https://www.foxnews.com/video/6395078651112?utm_content=other&utm_source=flipboard) Isn’t that great? Just try to undermine our foreign policy. Isn’t that cute? Page – 11 – of 14 Teddy Nappen 29:00 You know, some might say that would be aiding a foreign adversary, but, you know. Evan Nappen 29:25 Right. Yeah. I mean, who knows, but somehow they just keep on going with this stuff, with our enemies. With folks that are opposed to what has created the greatest standard of living in the history of humanity, and that is capitalism. Teddy Nappen 29:48 But going back to it Cory Booker. His staffer was a retired law enforcement officer. He had the gun on him, and he went into the Capitol. He was arrested last year, and of course, the charges were dropped without any consequences lingering. And now the debate on whether he could carry or not, I went. Evan Nappen 30:08 He may have been retired law enforcement. I don’t know if LEOSA applied in that particular situation in law enforcement safety. Teddy Nappen 30:17 Yeah, I pulled it from the U.S. Capitol Police. Their rules are all weapons are prohibited, even if you are a retired law enforcement officer. Evan Nappen 30:28 So, I don’t know how it got dismissed. Teddy Nappen 30:32 Well, you know why. Evan Nappen 30:35 Yeah, exactly. Teddy Nappen 30:36 But it could have been, the minutia of the staffer had gotten permission. Apparently, if you meet certain requirements, you could have, but it didn’t seem, there was no mention if he even met the requirements. Doesn’t matter. They just walked away the charges. It’s right there with, uh, Mr. Pull the fire alarm because I don’t understand how to open a door. What was his name? Evan Nappen 30:56 I don’t remember. But yeah, yeah, right, yeah. Teddy Nappen 30:59 Like that. Yeah. Charges dropped. But this is the thing. It’s always about the elitism. Where you have, here’s someone extremely anti-gun pushing the anti-gun agenda. Right here, the newest article right from them. U.S. Senator Cory Booker leads colleagues renewed push to establish safety standards for Page – 12 – of 14 firearms in an effort to save lives. Pushing a new bill right here. They’re going to add the Firearms Safety Act. It creates a Consumer Product Safety Act that was first passed in 1972. It corrects the gap. Evan Nappen 31:36 The gap, the so-called gap. What it is they want this mechanism in the Government so that they can ban guns via Consumer Protection. The idea is to abuse Consumer Protection laws, and you see New Jersey doing this state side. They’re alleging the Consumer Protection violations under state law against legitimate dealers, gun makers, etc. So, beware. This is yet a further angle that they’re pursuing to take away our rights. It’s the movement of gun rights suppression is to go at every angle. Whether they can link guns to a health care problem, whether they can link guns to a consumer protection problem, whether they can, you know, anything they can somehow tag it on with that’s what they try to do to expand their suppression of our rights. It’s classic tactics by those that oppose the Second Amendment. Teddy Nappen 32:53 Well, what they’re trying to do is create and I’ve coined this term. I don’t know who else coined it, but I like it. Gun deserts. They are trying to, the Left are trying to, the Left are trying to push the stupid argument of a food desert, which you can have food delivered very easily. From what they’re doing, going after gun dealers in Jersey, making extremely hard to even open a shop. I’m taking this term gun desert. They’re trying to create gun deserts. Making it extremely hard to get a firearm. Because they know they can’t win on the legislation and our rights, so now they’re just going to sue our rights away by going after the very people. Evan Nappen 33:26 And what’s interesting, one of the regs being put forward, actually a combination of them, federally, will, and I haven’t read the text, but apparently, what they’re looking to do is have the 4473 computerized. Then you’ll be able to purchase a gun online, and the firearm can actually be delivered to your door. Now, I don’t know how that might work under New Jersey state law, probably not able to do it. But in many, many states, it will be feasible if it first goes through a dealer. They’ve recently allowed guns to be shipped even via the post office. Of course, it’s regulated how to do it, but there was at one point a complete ban. That’s no longer the case. Evan Nappen 34:20 And if they get this electronically set up and they change the rules, they can allow it. Right now, for example, you can buy a suppressor and have it go directly to your door. They’ve set up a network of dealers in suppressor-legal states. These companies like Silencer Central, etc, they’re able to process your NFA form online. They have an interface to the e-forms for the federal government. You can do the prints by way of a computer, and then once everything gets approved, you’re literally mailed your suppressor to your door. Now, of course, not in New Jersey. New Jersey has a state ban on suppressors, but that is currently being challenged as to its constitutionality. So, this is where we’re at. There is still good hope. I still am optimistic, seeing these fundamental changes take place federally, and we’re seeing victories politically still happening. The fight is full bore in the courts. Don’t lose hope. We are winning slowly but surely. We’re gaining ground in many of these areas, even though these Page – 13 – of 14 problems are still there that need to be addressed. But the good news is it is a new day when it comes to the ability to have the tools to fight for rights. Evan Nappen 36:06 And that’s something I’ve seen over four decades of gun law practice, my friends. I see it. I remember way back when I started, you couldn’t even find a law journal article that spoke about the individual right to keep and bear arms. And frankly, thanks to the NRA, let’s give credit where credit is due. Early on, they pushed the academic side of researching the truth about our Second Amendment rights, and that became critical in the Heller decision and decisions that have followed from Heller. Having that depth of historic scholarly research on our rights, which 40 years ago didn’t exist, did not exist, because it had been suppressed and ignored. Look, I started my practice with a very you know, I became an attorney, and I had the honor of working for the very first firearm law firm in America, which was Benenson, Kates & Hardy. There was no such thing prior to that of a firearm law firm. And back in those days, you know, another attorney would ask, what kind of law do you practice? I’d say, you know, firearm law. They go, what? What do you mean firearm law? They wouldn’t even know what it was. Couldn’t even wrap their head around it. Evan Nappen 37:44 And now, of course, with the Supreme Court decisions and this growth of challenges, etc, you see a completely different view and understanding of what firearm law means and its importance, and the practice of gun law is accepted. I remember at one point in the old Red Book, they called it, where they list lawyers by categories. And I said, hey, I want a listing of firearm law. They said, we don’t have firearm law. I said well make the category firearm law, because it even exist as a practice area, right that you would focus on for your practice. So there’s been a lot of advancement. The fight is, of course, on, but this is, this is where we are. It is interesting looking back and seeing and I do believe that we will succeed. We will succeed. Truth is on our side. Truth is absolutely on our side, and the day when we no longer have to be victims, but can be defenders, and not just our right to keep their arms being respected, but our right to self defense being respected, because that too is protected by the Second Amendment our right to defense. And don’t take that lightly, because throughout the rest of the world, particularly in the formerly Great Britain, use a gun to defend yourself. You get arrested, charged and prosecuted for using a firearm to defend yourself, right? That’s where our rights are critical, not just having the hardware to do it, but also the legal and lawful ability to do it, and our self defense laws, though, still need to be changed and worked on. Matter of fact, Teddy, we were talking about that, weren’t we? Teddy Nappen 39:56 Yeah, one of the big things we were discussing as well as back from the previous podcast. One of the previous episodes, we were talking about the right of defense of property. I felt that there should be a change in the law. I know you always said “life wins over property”, but. Evan Nappen 40:16 It does. Page – 14 – of 14 Teddy Nappen 40:16 There needs to be. Correct. But there needs to be a deterrence, because right now, heavy amounts of robberies, car jack, like carjacking, the car theft. It’s one of those where I always looked at Jeff Cooper’s quote. I always think to that quote. The criminal does not fear the police. The criminal does not fear the courts. The criminal must learn to fear the victim. That is the only way I can see us solving this issue of crime. To deter the individuals. Knowing, oh, my G-d, if I do this, I might get my head blown off. Evan Nappen 40:56 So, you’re right, and that brings us to the GOFU. The GOFU, of course, is the Gun Owner Fuck Up. We look at mistakes and things to be very concerned about, where others have paid a dear price. And that is important when it comes to self-defense. Because self-defense in the law is known as justification for the use of force. And what a lot of folks don’t realize is that self-defense or justification for the use of force is an affirmative defense. And when something is an affirmative defense in law, it means the burden of proof initially shifts to the defendant. So, if you use force, deadly force, if you use that even though you may say, hey, it was self-defense, the burden of proof is on you to be able to prove that you were reasonable. And that reasonableness of your force gets determined by those 12 people who aren’t smart enough to avoid jury duty. So, you better be very reasonable. And the problem is if you depart from that knowledge where you are essentially guilty until proven innocent, and you better realize that if you pull that trigger, the burden of proof is, under our current laws, on you. Evan Nappen 42:35 Now, that’s not everywhere, believe it or not. In Florida, for example, they have put that burden back on the state initially before they can even proceed with the prosecution. They first have to demonstrate that you were not justified in using force, at least to the degree of making their initial charges. But in New Jersey and most other states, it is still an affirmative defense, where, in essence, you’re guilty until proven innocent. Make sure you know the self-defense laws. Make sure that your fear was reasonable. Make sure it was justified under the laws. Because, if not, you’re going to pay a very steep price. Evan Nappen 43:29 Hey, this is Evan Nappen and Teddy Nappen reminding you that gun laws don’t protect honest citizens criminals. They protect criminals from honest citizens.

On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, Jon Gordon sits down with Micah McElveen, founder of Vapor Ministries, for a remarkable conversation about purpose, transformation, and living a life that echoes in eternity. Micah McElveen's story begins with devastating adversity—an accident as a teenager that left him dead on the beach, miraculously brought back to life, but facing total paralysis and a future filled with uncertainty. As Micah McElveen recounts his journey from ICU to recovering movement, wrestling with his identity, and enduring years of grueling rehab, he shares how those hardships became the ground where faith, empathy, and a deep sense of purpose were forged. From being the popular quarterback to the overlooked kid in the shadows, his perspective shifted to one of compassion and a desire to leverage his second chance to serve others. Through honest reflection, Micah McElveen opens up about the pain and mystery of near-death experiences, the gradual process of rediscovering hope, and how desperate pursuit of God's presence preceded a revelation of purpose. Ultimately, this journey led him to start Vapor Ministries—an organization dedicated to alleviating extreme poverty, empowering communities, and sharing practical hope with thousands across Africa and Haiti. Listeners will hear powerful themes of empathy, resilience, living with urgency, and the eternal significance of investing your "vapor"—this brief life—for something far greater than yourself. Whether you're navigating adversity, seeking clarity on your own purpose, or wondering if brokenness can become a gift, this episode offers hope, inspiration, and a stirring reminder that your hardest moments can become the starting point for extraordinary impact. About Micah: In 1995, Micah learned life was a Vapor when he broke his neck in a near-fatal surfing accident. God also opened his eyes to purpose. Not able to play football, he picked up soccer and went on to play in college, where he earned a degree in Intercultural Studies. There Micah met his bride and a shared passion to serve the poor and reach the lost emerged. In graduate school, he traveled to Africa and was broken by extreme poverty. Awakened by the experience, a vision to alleviate poverty and multiply disciples birthed Vapor Ministries. He is a follower of Jesus, a husband to Audrey, and a father to Arrow and Given. Author of, "Dying For Purpose, " Micah speaks across the country inspiring people to make a difference while providing leadership for Vapor Ministries.

Episode 662 "What awakened me?" by Dr. Drew Rubin

Continuing the next series of Creating Dementia Solutions episodes, we explore the real-life experiences of individuals and families affected by dementia. Through intimate conversations, each episode shares a unique story — from early memories and the moment of diagnosis to the challenges, small victories, and emotional journeys that follow. Also discussed is the caregiving component – and how folks have stepped into the caregiving role in support of a loved one with dementia.On this episode, we reconnect with Miles for Memories volunteer Michelle Lennon - marketing director with Reflections Memory Care and Heritage Assisted Living - who talks about how her first experience with caregiving opened a door to a rewarding career.Episode ResourcesMiles for Memories websiteMiles for Memories technologySherii Sherban talks to Community Matters about MFM technologyMore Creating Dementia Solutions episodesABOUT MILES FOR MEMORIESMiles For Memories is a Calhoun County, Michigan organization created in 2013 to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer's Disease. Later in 2014, the vision was expanded to include all types of dementia. MFM raises money each year through sponsorships, community events, and grants to gather funds to create local programming for both the person living with dementia and the caregiver. Along with local efforts, 20% of the funds to prevention-related dementia research. Miles for Memories is a committee of 70-plus volunteers and are always looking for more to get involved.

In Week 4 of the Awakened series at Grace Life Church, Pastor Jamie Wright delivers a powerful reminder that changes everything: you are not fighting for victory—you are living from it. So many believers are worn out trying to win battles that Jesus has already won. Trying to earn peace He already purchased. Trying to gain approval He's already given. But what if the exhaustion you feel isn't from life being too hard… but from fighting battles that are already finished? This message redefines what victory truly is. It's not found in changing circumstances, breakthrough moments, or everything finally going your way. Victory is already secured, sealed, and finished in Christ. Through Scripture and powerful illustrations, Pastor Jamie walks through “The Four D's of Victory”—how Jesus has: Driven out darkness Disarmed the enemy Defeated death Destroyed the works of the devil You'll be reminded that: Sin is not your master Shame is not your identity Fear does not get the final word And even when life still feels heavy, victory often looks like choosing peace, forgiving anyway, showing up when it's hard, and getting back up when you've been knocked down. This episode is an invitation to wake up—not to try harder—but to realize what's already true: The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you.

Have you ever found yourself stuck in a negative cycle or destructive pattern of turning away from God, coming back, and then falling right back into sin again? This is the human story, and it's what we see in the book of Judges. Senior Pastor Julie Yoder shares how breaking cycles and patterns begins with the Holy Spirit.

A talk by Thanissaro Bhikkhu entitled "Consciousness, Awakened & Not"

In this episode of Formed and Awakened, podcast hosts Elizabeth Bergin and Dr. Kat Hussman explore questions around dialogue with Oakcrest theology teacher, Joana Allen. What is dialogue? How do we open healthy and meaningful conversations with our daughters throughout adolescence? How do we encourage our daughters to engage in respectful dialogue with those they encounter? 

Change doesn’t start with effort. It starts with awareness. On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black dives into the first and most critical step of transformation: awakening—the moment you finally see what’s been there all along. Awakening is not the change itself. It’s the realization that change is necessary. It’s the moment where: You see the gap between who you are and who you could be You recognize patterns that are holding you back You feel the weight of staying the same You become ready to take responsibility Joined by John Whaley, Chief of Staff at Prayer of the Heart, this episode connects personal awakening with something bigger—a call for a national and spiritual awakening. With declining faith, rising anxiety, and a culture drifting from truth, the need is clear: awakening isn’t optional—it’s urgent. This episode unpacks the full 4-stage transformation process: Awakening – You see what must change Unlearning – You release what no longer serves you Repatterning – You build new habits and thinking Integration – You live from a new identity and purpose Because transformation isn’t random—it follows a pattern. You’ll also explore the core components of awakening: Awareness Disruption Conviction Desire Responsibility And the real question becomes: Are you willing to see? Are you willing to change? Are you willing to be awakened? This is an Hour of Power for anyone who knows there’s more—but hasn’t fully stepped into it yet. Because once you see it… you can’t unsee it. And once you’re awakened… everything changes. Inspiration. Education. Application. When you live your life like it matters… it does.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Week Three of the Awakened series, we explore one of the most transformative truths of the Gospel: righteousness is not something we achieve—it's something we receive. Many believers live with a confidence that rises and falls with their performance. When we feel disciplined, consistent, and “on track,” we feel close to God. But when we fail, we feel distant. The Gospel reveals something radically different: through Christ, we have already become the righteousness of God. This episode unpacks how righteousness is not about behavior modification, but right standing with the Father—a gift fully secured by Jesus. Looking at the story of the prodigal son and the vision of Joshua in Zechariah, we see a powerful picture of identity, exchange, and restoration. The Father doesn't restore us because of our performance; He restores us because of sonship. When we awaken to righteousness, several things change: • Our identity becomes settled • Our confidence before God grows bold • Condemnation and fear disappear • We begin to live from rest instead of striving The Gospel isn't asking you to become something you're not—it's inviting you to see clearly who you already are in Christ. And when that revelation becomes real, life begins to flow in what can only be described as the unforced rhythms of grace. You are not moving toward righteousness—you are living from it.

God is for each of us. He created us with a destiny, and He wants to awaken that in our lives. Within the family context, God will do it differently in each individual, all for the good of the community The story of Caleb's destiny and its fulfillment provides a great example. Awakened unto life at a young age, he was still on fire at 85 and beyond. Our goal is to live this kind of awakened life for ourselves as we play our part in the greater community.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”Beauty can save a man's life, or at least wake his heart up enough to fight for it. We sit down with Claymore Milites Christi Leaders, Dan McSweeney and David Avignone, to open the discussion on Act Two of the Claymore Battle Plan Handbook, “Awakened By Beauty,” and we start where modern culture rarely starts: Genesis and the simple claim that you are created good, made in the image of God, male and female. When that truth gets buried under  confusion, and shame, desire doesn't disappear, it gets redirected into using, consuming, and comparing. Visit Claymore milites Christi today!

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”Most men don't fall apart all at once, they slowly wilt. When we live disconnected from God's life, we chase quick fixes, stay anxious, and wonder why nothing feels solid. We use a blunt image to name it: we live like cut flowers, still “looking fine,” but cut off from the source that keeps the heart alive.We also lay out a simple way forward through the Claymore Battle Plan, a Catholic men's formation path built on daily spiritual discipline and real brotherhood. The starting point is the Claymore 10-minute morning ritual we call “knees before the phone,” plus a weekly short reading from the handbook and a conversation with a friend. The goal isn't more religious information. It's learning “how to fish” so you can find truth, build a foundation, and pass it on.Then we step into Act Two, “Awaken By Beauty,” from the Claymore Battle Plan, A Handbook For Young Men In Spiritual Warfare, beginning where Scripture begins: Genesis, creation, light, and God's declaration that everything He made is “very good,” including you. Drawing on John Paul II's Theology of the Body, we talk about how the body makes the invisible visible, how beauty is meant to awaken wonder, and how “original innocence” shows us a way of seeing people as gifts rather than objects. We name the counterfeit beauty that deforms desire, pornography, hookup culture, and digital distraction, and we connect it to the wider crisis of moral relativism, anxiety, addiction, and the breakdown of marriage and family.We close with three practical moves: reclaim awe through prayer, guard your heart by rejecting pornography and objectification, and reorder your life around the sincere gift of self.

What do you do when you believe God can heal… but He doesn't? This is the 2nd part of a powerful and deeply honest conversation with Pastor Chad and Sadie Roberts  as they continue talking about faith in the middle of life's hardest storms after  Chad lost his sight—a life-altering moment that challenged everything he believed about healing, and suffering. In Part 1, Chad and Sadie share their journey through loss, questions, and unwavering faith, offering hope to anyone who has ever asked: Why didn't God change this? How do I keep trusting Him when life feels unfair? If you are walking through a difficult season, this episode reminds you that God is still present, still working, and often does His deepest work in the middle of the storm. Chad Roberts is the founder and lead pastor of Preaching Christ Church in Kingsport, Tennessee, and author of Blind Faith: Seeing God Through Darkness. Sadie Roberts serves through Strong ACC (From Cradle to Career), and together they host the marriage podcast The Marriage Conversation. You can also hear Chad daily on Awakened to Grace, available on radio, podcast platforms, oneplace.com, and pray.com. Learn more at awakenedtograce.com.

At some point in meditation, almost all of us ask the same question: Am I doing this right?In this episode, Craig responds to three listener questions that each circle around this theme in a different way.How do we know if we're “there” yet?Can we be awake without knowing it?And what are we really looking for in the first place?Rather than offering simple answers, Craig uses these questions as an entry point into a deeper exploration—one that challenges some of our most basic assumptions about meditation and awakening.To access the full transcript of this episode and discover more resources, visit the episode page on MeditationChangesEverything.com.

In this sermon at Grace Life Church, we dive into Week 2 of the Awakened to the Gospel series: “Don't Drift.” Most people don't intentionally walk away from God. There's no dramatic rebellion or decision to leave. Instead, we slowly drift—quietly, subtly, and often without realizing it. Just like floating in the water and suddenly realizing you're far from where you started, spiritual drifting happens when we lose sight of the truth of the Gospel. The warning in Hebrews reminds us to pay careful attention to what we've heard so we don't drift away. But drifting isn't about losing God—it's about losing awareness of what Jesus has already accomplished. In this conversation we explore: Why drifting usually leads us back into self-effort instead of grace How believers can unknowingly shift from receiving life to managing behavior What the story of Lazarus reveals about responding to the voice of Jesus Why growth isn't about trying harder but awakening to what's already true How the Gospel invites us to participate in the life of Christ rather than produce it ourselves If you've ever felt spiritually tired from trying to maintain your faith through effort, this message is a reminder that Jesus didn't call you to strive—He called you to respond to life. The same voice that called Lazarus from the tomb is still calling today: “Come forth.” Wake up again. See clearly again. And live from the finished work of Christ.

Mario Cristobal joins to discuss the state of the Miami Hurricanes football program, highlighting the growth and development of his roster. He gives high praise to Malachi Toney for his work ethic and maturity, noting his early-morning routine of arriving at the facility at 6 a.m. to put in extra work before practice. Cristobal dives into the challenges of developing talent and how difficult it can be to project what players will become at the next level.

What do you do when you believe God can heal… but He doesn't? In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Jenny sits down with Pastor Chad and his wife Sadie Roberts to talk about faith in the middle of life's hardest storms.   In 2018, Chad lost his sight—an unexpected and life-altering moment that would challenge everything he believed about healing, and suffering. It had an impact on their whole world.  Together, Chad and Sadie share their journey through loss, questions, and unwavering faith—offering hope to anyone who has ever wondered: Why didn't God change this?  How do I keep trusting Him when life feels unfair? If you are walking through a difficult season, this episode will remind you that:
God is still present, still working, and often does His deepest work in the middle of the storm. Our hope is you walk away encouraged, strengthened, and reminded that even when life doesn't make sense—God is still faithful. Chad Roberts is the founder and lead pastor of Preaching Christ Church in Kingsport, Tennessee, and author of Blind Faith: Seeing God Through Darkness. Sadie Roberts serves through Strong ACC (From Cradle to Career), and together they host the marriage podcast The Marriage Conversation. You can also hear Chad daily on Awakened to Grace, available on radio, podcast platforms, oneplace.com, and pray.com. Learn more at awakenedtograce.com.

In this Resurrection Sunday message from Grace Life Church, we explore the moment that changed everything: the resurrection of Jesus Christ. But Easter is more than a celebration of a miracle that happened 2,000 years ago—it is the awakening of humanity. Through the resurrection, God didn't simply repair our broken lives; He released entirely new life into the world. Many people are breathing, functioning, and existing… yet spiritually asleep. The resurrection is the moment when heaven declared that death no longer has the final word and that a new identity, a new birth, and a new way of living have been made available to humanity. In this message, we unpack how the resurrection awakens us to: • New Life – God didn't improve your old life; He gave you a new one. • New Identity – Your past may explain you, but it no longer defines you. • New Birth – Being born again comes through the resurrection of Jesus, not human effort. • A New Voice – The old identity has been buried, and the truth of who you are in Christ now speaks louder. • A New Way to Live – Resurrection life is not something you visit on Sundays—it's something you live from every day. This message invites listeners to stop striving to become someone new and instead wake up to the life that has already been given through the resurrection. Because He lives… we are alive.
