In this high-energy episode of Pocket Theology, the team dives into the "Battlegrounds" of the mind, specifically focusing on the language of Ephesians 1.The conversation challenges the way we often "under-complicate" or "over-complicate" the Bible by bringing our own modern, individualized frameworks to ancient words. Pastor Jason and the team unpack heavily "charged" theological terms like Blessed, Chosen, Predestined, and Holy, stripping away the dust of religious debate to find a vision of the Church that is far more communal and powerful than we usually imagine.In this episode, we explore:• The Translation Trap: Why the word "Praise" in Ephesians 1 might be a poor translation and how a single word can shift our entire view of worship.• The Individualism Problem: Why we instinctively read the word "you" as "me," and how reclaiming the "y'all" of the New Testament changes our security in Christ.• Redefining Righteousness: Shifting from the "ghost sheet" view of imputed righteousness to a vision of God's Covenantal Faithfulness.• Predestination Reframed: A conversation that moves beyond the Calvinist/Arminian divide to see the Church as God's chosen "Plan A" for the world.• Spiritual Dermatology: An honest look at the "maturity spots" and imperfections of the Church, and why we need the body to truly reflect the image of Jesus.As the team prepares for a new year and new additions to the family, they offer a "prophetic imagination" for 2026—calling the church to stop settling for "warm feelings toward Jesus" and start living into the radical, unified identity of the Body of Christ.Resources MentionedThe Ways of Our God by Charles ScobieGrasping God's Word by J.

I never thought I'd be glued to my screen watching courtrooms turn into battlegrounds for America's future, but here we are in early January 2026, and President Donald Trump's legal wars are heating up like never before. Just days ago, on Tuesday, January 6, SCOTUSblog reminded us of that historic New York Times Company v. Sullivan case from 1964, where the Supreme Court protected the press from libel suits—timely now as tensions simmer between Trump and media outlets. But that's history; the real fireworks are exploding right now.Picture this: the Supreme Court is gearing up for its January 12 argument session in Washington, D.C., with seven massive cases, several straight from Trump's playbook. Axios reports that top of the list is Trump v. Barbara, where the justices could rule any moment on his executive order slashing birthright citizenship. Trump wants to deny U.S. citizenship to kids of undocumented immigrants born here, challenging over a century of 14th Amendment precedent. Businesses like Costco, Revlon, Bumble Bee Foods, and Ray-Ban makers are suing over another bombshell—Trump's tariffs. In Learning v. Trump, they're fighting his national emergency declaration that slapped billions in duties on imports without Congress's okay. Trump boasted on Truth Social it's the "most case ever," but a loss could mean refunding over $100 billion. Then there's Trump v. Slaughter, pitting Trump against Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook and FTC's Alvaro Bedoya and Rebecca Slaughter, whom he fired for clashing with his policies. The court will decide if he can boot independent agency heads, smashing 90-year-old protections.Just Security's litigation tracker paints an even wilder picture of chaos in lower courts. In D.C.'s federal district court, Taylor v. Trump challenges Executive Order 14164, where Attorney General Pam Bondi shuffled death row inmates to ADX Florence supermax under Trump's public safety push—plaintiffs scream due process violations. The National Association of the Deaf sued Trump, Chief of Staff Susan Wiles, and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt for axing ASL interpreters at White House briefings, claiming First and Fifth Amendment breaches. Law firms aren't safe either: Susman Godfrey out of Texas hit back at an executive order yanking their security clearances for opposing Trump; Perkins Coie, Jenner & Block, and WilmerHale face similar retaliation suits in D.D.C., alleging viewpoint discrimination. The American Bar Association sued over yanked grants from the Office on Violence Against Women, calling it payback for their stances. Even Rep. Eric Swalwell's in the mix with Swalwell v. Pute, targeting Trump's criminal arrest pushes.Politico says grand juries are Trump's new nightmare—refusing indictments left and right on his aggressive policies, from protester crackdowns to immigrant roundups. U.S. District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan blasted prosecutors for "rushed" cases with weak evidence. And in a wild international twist, CBS News covered ousted Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and wife Cilia Flores arraigned Monday in Manhattan's federal courthouse before Judge Alvin Hellerstein. Whisked by helicopter from Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center under heavy security, Maduro pled not guilty to narco-terrorism, cocaine smuggling, and weapons charges—facing life in prison—while insisting he's still Venezuela's president.The Supreme Court's emergency docket, like in 25A312, keeps deferring stays till January arguments, per their own filings. Lawfare's tracker logs non-stop national security suits against Trump's moves. It's a legal whirlwind, listeners, with the high court poised to reshape everything from guns in Wolford v. Lopez against Hawaii's private property ban, to conversion therapy fights in Miles v. Salazar.Thanks for tuning in, listeners—come back next week for more.

THE RETURN OF THE NOBLE MONARCH Colleague Gregory Copley. Gregory Copley argues that the world has reached "peak republicanism," where republics have become inefficient political battlegrounds. He defines nobility not as a class structure, but as a quality of honorable leadership that embodies the state's values. Copley suggests modern monarchies, like that of King Charles III, are reinvigorating this role by acting as apolitical symbols of unity and diplomacy, unlike elected leaders who only represent their voters. NUMBER 13 1670 CHARLES II OF GREAT BRITAIN

Lord, what do YOU say to these dry bones (the natural)? Holy Spirit, what do I declare to the breath (the unseen)?

Join Dr. Ali Ansari, Professor of Iranian History and Founding Director of the Institute for Iranian Studies at the University of St Andrews, and Hoover Senior Fellow H.R. McMaster, as they examine the nature of the Islamic Republic, Western misunderstandings about the regime and why engagement strategies have repeatedly failed, and the widening gap between the regime's propagandized image of strength and the vulnerabilities revealed in recent conflicts. Drawing on recent events, including the 12-day Israeli campaign exposing profound intelligence and air-defense failures, Ansari examines the IRGC's struggles to reconstitute its terrorist and militia proxies in the region while confronting severe financial and economic crises at home, including shortages of electricity and a growing water crisis in the capital city of Tehran. Despite these mounting pressures, Ansari reflects on Iran's potential futures, from the emergence of new leadership to the enduring resilience of the Iranian people.

Sunday, November 2, 2025 - 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 | This sermon is designed to inform where our spiritual battle takes place. With this information, the Christian disciple can be better equipped to engage the enemy.

The first big elections of Trump's second term reveal how Americans are reacting to his presidency, and how Democrats are fighting to rebuild their brand. On this episode, Caitríona Perry, Courtney Subramanian and Sumi Somaskanda discuss the high-stakes gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey, the Democrats' rebranding efforts, and the rise of a progressive candidate shaking up New York. Every weekend, The President's Path explores the state of US politics — in Washington and beyond. We dig into the key issues shaping America and uncover what's on the minds of those closest to power.

High-stakes state and local races could define both parties and set the stage for the 2026 Midterm Elections. Republican National Committee Chairman Joe Gruters discusses key gubernatorial contests in New Jersey and Virginia, the New York City mayoral race between Republican Curtis Sliwa and Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani, and the GOP's 2026 strategy as President Trump ramps up voter engagement. Concerns are growing over corporate layoffs as companies cite AI and cost-cutting for widespread job cuts. Critics say some firms are using AI to replace American workers with cheaper foreign labor. Former JPMorgan Chief Economist Anthony Chan explains AI's impact on white-collar jobs, the role of H-1B visas, and what it means for the U.S. workforce.

It's late October 2025, and I'm sitting here at my desk, sorting through yet another thick stack of court filings, headlines, and political tweets—the most newsworthy legal battles in the country right now center on Donald Trump, and trust me, if you've been listening to the news these past few days, you already know it's a lot. Let me bring you up to speed.We start with the Supreme Court. Right now, Trump finds himself as the lead petitioner in a consolidated case on the docket as Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, et al., v. V.O.S. Selections, Inc., et al., No. 25-250. This case, originally heard in the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, was docketed by the Supreme Court on September 4, 2025. The Justices granted certiorari and set the case for oral arguments in the first week of November, with argument specifically scheduled for Wednesday, November 5, 2025. One hour is allotted for oral argument, and the docket is loaded with amicus briefs from groups like Advancing American Freedom, Washington State Amici, and We Pay the Tariffs.But the Supreme Court case is just one thread of a much larger web. Out west, in Portland, Oregon, things have reached a fever pitch. The State of Oregon and the City of Portland sued President Trump, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, and the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security, in the United States District Court. The case, 3:25-cv-01756-IM, centers on the federal government's deployment of National Guard troops to Portland—over the objection of Oregon Governor Tina Kotek. According to the court opinion, on September 27, 2025, Trump posted on Truth Social, directly ordering Hegseth to provide troops to protect Portland from what he called Antifa and other domestic terrorists, authorizing “full force, if necessary.” By the next day, Secretary Hegseth federalized 200 members of the Oregon National Guard.The reaction was immediate. The plaintiffs filed for a temporary restraining order on September 28, arguing that the President's actions violated federal law, including the Posse Comitatus Act and 10 U.S.C. § 12406, and trampled on Oregon's sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment. Governor Kotek pushed back hard, insisting that Portland had not seen the kind of violent, sustained protests Trump described for months—local law enforcement had handled earlier summer disruptions, and by late September, protests outside key locations like the ICE facility were small and uneventful. Trump, however, doubled down in a Truth Social post on October 1, saying that conditions in Portland were deteriorating, “lawless mayhem” was taking hold, and that the National Guard was needed to restore order.While this Oregon drama unfolds, there's another story developing behind closed doors. The Lawfare Litigation Tracker notes that a coalition of states is suing the Trump administration over the suspension of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits for November 2025. This case hasn't hit the headlines as hard, but for thousands of families, it's a life-or-death matter—another legal flashpoint in an increasingly litigious era.Now, by the time you hear this, today is October 29, 2025, and the Supreme Court's reply brief is due tomorrow, October 30. The nation is waiting—and not just on the legal questions. The constitutional balance between federal and state power is being tested, and the President's use of the military at home is under a microscope. Legal scholars from Trade Scholars in Economics, Politics, and Law—alongside former U.S. Trade Representative Carla Anderson Hills and former WTO Deputy Director-General Alan William Wolff—have filed briefs that may influence the Justices' thinking. And for everyday listeners, there's a nervous feeling in the air, a sense that all it takes is one more Tweet or court order to send everything spiraling.Let me close by saying thanks for tuning in. No matter where you stand on these issues, we're all trying to make sense of the storm, and stories like these define the moment.

Stormraige is taking a break from Standard, Smarms is playing more BGs, Teddo played a bit of SilkSong and all that means there isn't a ton to talk about... so Stormraige spent his time and energy to make a game... that was finished in about 3 seconds.    Logo Created By: Nate Wolfe.

On this episode of the Chuck ToddCast, Chuck unpacks a whirlwind of economic, geopolitical, and political developments shaping America's future. From Trump's tariffs likely surviving a fast-tracked Supreme Court review to rising fears of stagflation fueled by deportations and trade headwinds, the economic outlook is looking grim. Abroad, Russia escalates the war by sending drones into Polish airspace, while Israel's strike on Hamas in Qatar risks leaving it more isolated on the world stage. Back home, Trump once again rewrites reality, denying ties to Jeffrey Epstein as his allies echo the talking points — raising fresh parallels to Orwell's 1984.He also looks ahead to the Democratic Party's long-term challenges: how can they remain competitive nationally by 2032, when the current path to 270 electoral votes is likely gone? With Georgia and North Carolina emerging as decisive swing states, Democrats will need to expand their map and rethink their message — particularly as the “socialism” label remains toxic to southern voters.Finally, Chuck gives his ToddCast Top 5 states each party should target in order to make them battlegrounds by 2032, and answers listeners' questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.Timeline:(Timestamps may vary based on advertisements)00:00 Introduction01:00 Trump's tariffs likely to stay in place despite expedited court ruling02:15 Trump's team pushed SCOTUS to rule quickly04:00 John Roberts is always hesitant to upset those in power06:00 The bad vibes surrounding the economy look to be right07:15 Economy was facing headwinds, tariffs & deportations make it worse09:30 The conditions for stagflation are forming11:30 Incursion of Russian attack drones into Polish airspace12:15 Putin has escalated the war since Alaska summit with Trump13:45 Israel makes brazen strike on Hamas political wing in Qatar15:45 There's no chance Trump would have approved strike in advance16:45 Strike could further isolate Israel18:00 Israel is a wedge issue amongst the American electorate20:45 Trump goes full George Orwell, denies letter to Epstein 22:00 Trump staffers have been willing to double down on behalf of Trump 23:15 We're living through Orwell's 1984 25:15 Democrats can weaponize Epstein to highlight Trump's dishonesty 27:15 How can Democrats become a competitive national party in 2032? 28:15 By 2032, the current path to 270 won't be there for Democrats 30:00 Georgia and North Carolina will become the most important swing states 31:15 Democrats need to figure out how to expand their path to 270 33:15 The word socialism is toxic to voters in the south 35:15 Democrats will have to rebrand and back off the socialism label38:45 The Toddcast Top 5 - States each party should target as battlegrounds 40:00 Top 5 states Democrats should target 46:30 Top 5 states Republicans should target 51:00 Ask Chuck 51:15 Why be in congress if you have no interest in exercising power? 57:45 Potential democracy reforms that the U.S. could pass? 1:02:00 Was the eugenics movement similar to the current anti-vax movement?

Join Justin Bassi, Executive Director of the Australian Strategic Policy Institute and former National Security Advisor to Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, and Hoover Senior Fellow H.R. McMaster, as they discuss threats to international security, Australia's role in the Indo-Pacific, and opportunities for Canberra and Washington to work together to promote peace and prosperity. Viewing China's military and technological rise as Australia's top security threat, Bassi discusses the ambitions of the Chinese Communist Party leaders and how Australia and its allies can compete more effectively to counter CCP aggression and prevent a war with China. The US and Australia sharing a deep history since World War I, Bassi reflects on how more recent internal debates are playing out within Australia regarding Trump administration policies, how we can promote a positive agenda to advance our mutual interests, and his views on the future of AUKUS – the alliance between Australia, the US and the UK to strengthen defense and promote a free and open Indo-Pacific.

Join Fernando “Nando” Parrado, businessman, author, and internationally recognized speaker, and Hoover Senior Fellow H.R. McMaster as they discuss endurance, crisis leadership, and the remarkable will to survive. Surviving one of the most harrowing events of the twentieth century: the 1972 crash of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, tragically losing his mother, sister, and many rugby teammates, Parrado reflects on how the values and work ethic his family engrained in him, which was nurtured on the rugby pitch, helped build the resilience needed to withstand 72 days in extreme conditions and lead a mission across the Andes to save the remaining survivors. Author of international best-seller, Miracle in the Andes, Parrado describes why he chose to publish the book 36 years after the ordeal, how he went on to create a second life after the trauma, why rugby instills life lessons like no other sport in the world – moral clarity, collective responsibility, self-confidence, and his inspiring advice for young people today.
