The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com  Garth Heckman Driving with Kim in the car when we were first married. I pulled a gun on a guy in a corvette!  I was on my way to Youth Group - I was the youth pastor.   Judges 6  11 Then the angel of the Lord came and sat beneath the great tree at Ophrah, which belonged to Joash of the clan of Abiezer. Gideon son of Joash was threshing wheat at the bottom of a winepress to hide the grain from the Midianites. 12 The angel of the Lord appeared to him and said, “Mighty hero, the Lord is with you!” 13 “Sir,” Gideon replied, “if the Lord is with us, why has all this happened to us? And where are all the miracles our ancestors told us about? Didn't they say, ‘The Lord brought us up out of Egypt'? But now the Lord has abandoned us and handed us over to the Midianites.” 14 Then the Lord turned to him and said, “Go with the strength you have, and rescue Israel from the Midianites. I am sending you!”         1. He Was Living in Poverty and Oppression For seven years, Israel had been brutally oppressed by the Midianites, Amalekites, and other eastern peoples. The oppression was so severe that the Israelites had abandoned their homes in the valleys to live in dens, caves, and strongholds in the mountains (Judges 6:2). The invaders would sweep through the land like locusts, destroying crops and slaughtering livestock. The text notes that Israel was "brought very low" because of Midian. Gideon wasn't a wealthy noble or a ruling judge; he was a victim of a devastating, nationwide economic and military siege.   2. He Was Hiding in a Winepress When the Angel of the Lord finds Gideon, he is threshing wheat in a winepress (Judges 6:11). Why this matters: Wheat was traditionally threshed in an open, elevated area (a threshing floor) so the wind could blow away the chaff. A winepress, however, was a pit dug into the ground or carved into rock. Operating out of fear, survival and panic.     3. He Was From an Insignificant, Idol-Worshipping Family   4. He Was Battling Deep Skepticism and Grief Gideon's immediate reaction to the Angel's blessing ("The Lord is with you, mighty warrior") is not pride, but bitter skepticism. He looked at his current reality and concluded that God had abandoned them:   The Irony of the Title When God calls Gideon a "mighty warrior," Gideon is: In hiding (not in battle) Doubting God's presence (not acting in faith) Belittling his own status (not displaying courage) The title was prophetic. God was not validating Gideon's current resume; He was naming the potential that He was about to unlock through His own power.       When the Angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon in Judges 6:12 and addressed him as a "mighty warrior" it was a statement of what God would do through him, not a description of who Gideon currently was.   He saw what he would do - which in turn is who he would be - in turn is who He really was in Gods eyes!      Can an egg fly? Can a puppy protect you?  Can an acorn shade, protect and feed thousands of animals? Can a spark destroy city?    We see an egg - God sees an eagle! We see a puppy - God sees the Rottweiler that attacked the sex predator who ran into the Childs yard.  We see an acorn - God sees The Foret de Trancais 26,000 acre forest We see a spark - God sees the Chinchaga fire burning 4.2 million acres.    Do you think when Jesus saw the disciples arguing over who would be the greatest, when Peter would deny him, when Thomas would doubt him, when they would not understand simple scripture, when they could not heal a boy, or worried over storms, food or religious leaders… HE SAW THEIR STORY! You will all be so committed and change the world so powerfully that they will need to Kill you to stop you! And you will be honored to give your life for me!      How does Jesus see us? We are salt We are light We are friends We are secure in him We have overcome the world We will do greater works then Jesus We will have rivers of living water flow out of us We will tread on serpents, scorpions, nothing will hurt us We are plugged directly into him He is always with us We will crush the serpents head We are the head and not the tail We wear a robe of righteousness We are more than conquerors    EVEN WITH THE DISCIPLES… JESUS WOULD BE DISAPPOINTED IN THEM - BUT NEVER REJECT THEM OR GET ANGRY AT THEM OR SHAMED THEM. Rather he would Ask a question Correct their perception And never reject them.      2 Kings 6 The King of Aram is mad and thinks there is a traitor. It is Elisha… Go kill him.  -  14 So one night the king of Aram sent a great army with many chariots and horses to surround the city. 15 When the servant of the man of God got up early the next morning and went outside, there were troops, horses, and chariots everywhere. “Oh, sir, what will we do now?” the young man cried to Elisha. 16 “Don't be afraid!” Elisha told him. “For there are more on our side than on theirs!” 17 Then Elisha prayed, “O Lord, open his eyes and let him see!” The Lord opened the young man's eyes, and when he looked up, he saw that the hillside around Elisha was filled with horses and chariots of fire.      -  Its right there!  What is? Your answer - it's right there. You just can't see it.  **Yesterday I was praying and seeking Gods wisdom on finances… he pointed to my kitchen table and showed me a stack of money… he said its right there. You just can't see it… but its there.     You might think you can't see it because you are in the dark… no you are not in the dark, you are in the preparation phase which can feel like the dark.   The Chinese Bamboo Tree (your example) Spends the first 5 years growing almost nothing above ground while developing a massive, deep root system. In the 6th year, it can grow 80–90 feet in just 6 weeks.   The Saguaro Cactus Grows extremely slowly — often only 1–2 inches in the first 10 years. It can take 30–40 years before it even grows its first arm. Then, once established, it can live 150–200 years and reach 40–60 feet tall.

How does recognizing our deep physical and social connections change the way we understand human nature?University of Cincinnati philosophy and psychology professor Dr. Anthony Chemero joins host PJ Weary to challenge traditional Western philosophy and explore the embodied nature of cognition.Dr. Chemero unpacks his book Intertwined Creatures: The Embodied Cognitive Science of Self and Other. Together they discuss the intersection of cognitive science and feminist theory to show how deeply our environments and social circles shape who we are.In this conversation they explore: How feminist critiques of traditional philosophy reveal that our earliest experiences as infants are shared rather than isolated. The flaws of the Cartesian worldview that treats the self as a hidden mind sparsely connected to a mechanical body. Using the pub crawl from the movie The World's End to explain why viewing other people as unthinking blanks is a fundamental failure of understanding humanity. What flushing toilets and far-from-equilibrium thermodynamics teach us about the self-organizing nature of human behavior. The physical and social constraints that effortlessly coordinate our actions when we move a sofa or dance with another person. The concept of shared public moods and how our emotions are often collective rather than purely internal.This is a conversation for anyone interested in psychology and philosophy who wants to break free from the illusion of isolation and embrace a deeply connected human experience.Make sure to check out Dr. Chemero's book: Intertwined Creatures: The Embodied Cognitive Science of Self and Other

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Rose shares her journey of surviving childhood abuse, coercive control, and financial exploitation at the hands of a manipulative partner who quietly dismantled her autonomy.Growing up, Rose endured sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional neglect, and chronic betrayal from the very people meant to protect her. With no safe parent, no validation, and no protector, Rose learned to survive by becoming invisible, self-reliant, and emotionally self-contained — carrying shame that would later be weaponized against her.As an adult, Rose built independence, financial stability, and a life of her own. But when she met a charismatic lawyer who quickly love-bombed her, he exploited her vulnerabilities, her longing for family, and her deeply conditioned tendency to people-please. What began as excitement and possibility slowly revealed itself as financial abuse, sexual coercion, emotional degradation, and relentless manipulation.It's a story of childhood trauma, shame, scapegoating, put downs, people pleasing, excuses, dangling carrots - shifting goal posts, breadcrumbs of attention, depression, exhaustion, verbal abuse, breakup threats, power dynamics, complying, self blame, victim hood, love bombing, financial abuse, future faking, goalpost shifting, trauma bonding, guilt manipulation, sexual coercion, post-separation abuse, legal intimidation, psychological collapse, suicidal ideation,  rebuilding independence, and ultimately reclaiming autonomy. Content Warning: This episode includes discussion of suicidal ideation, physical abuse, sexual coercion and childhood sexual abuse. Click if you want to be a guest on our survivor story podcast, please send us an email at narcissistapocalypse@pm.meClick on the title to read about Coercive Control as Care: Signs & PatternsSign up to our Domestic Violence Newsletter  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein have accused his estate and its attorneys — including the estate's executors who handled his financial and legal affairs after his death — of engaging in aggressive tactics aimed at intimidating, belittling, and discouraging survivors from pursuing their claims rather than supporting accountability and transparency. According to media and survivor advocates, lawyers working on behalf of the estate used procedural maneuvers, confrontational language, and dismissive strategies in responses to civil claims, effectively positioning survivors as nuisances rather than victims seeking justice. These actions included challenging every substantive point of survivors' lawsuits, minimizing the legitimacy of their accounts, and attempting to undercut their credibility in court filings and negotiations, conduct critics describe as reflective of a defensive, bullying posture rather than a genuine engagement with victims' harm.Critics argue that such behavior from the estate — which controlled Epstein's remaining assets and influence — perpetuated the same power imbalances that enabled his abuse in the first place, making survivors relive trauma through hostile legal processes instead of offering redress or empathy. Rather than facilitating meaningful resolution, the estate's tactics have been portrayed by survivors and advocates as attempts to protect the interests of Epstein's financial legacy and minimize payouts, even while victims sought recognition of the scale and severity of the crimes committed against them. This conduct has fueled broader outrage about how institutions linked to Epstein have treated survivors, reinforcing perceptions that the justice system and powerful interests are still aligned against those who were harmed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

In 2020, an accuser known as “Jane Doe” filed a lawsuit against Jeffrey Epstein's estate and Ghislaine Maxwell, alleging she was recruited and sexually abused as a minor. According to her attorney, estate lawyers engaged in a “concerted and coordinated effort” to pressure her into the Epstein Victims' Compensation Fund—a voluntary, non-adversarial program—rather than allowing her claim to proceed through the courts. Her attorney further claimed that the estate had “resorted to belittling” her simply for resisting, asserting she was being penalized for exercising her legal right to pursue the claim in court.Estate attorney Mary Grace Metcalfe formally denied these allegations, stating in court that they were “completely untrue” and that the claim of belittlement reflected a lack of good faith from the plaintiff's side. Meanwhile, the judge handling the case delayed a deposition of Epstein's co-executor, Darren Indyke, pending considerations over a motion to stay the case. The ongoing dispute highlighted tensions between pursuing judicial redress and channeling claims into the estate's established compensation structure.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In an age of profound moral confusion, the prevailing narratives of "live your truth" and "determine your own happiness" are increasingly revealing themselves as bankrupt. For those yearning for real truth and abundant life, it's time to stop listening to your gut and start listening to God. In this sermon series, we will delve into the Ten Commandments, not as restrictive rules, but as foundational principles for a flourishing life with God. God is not a killjoy imposing burdensome regulations; He is the very essence of joy. He is not a taskmaster in the sky; He is a present Redeemer. Each commandment reveals God's good character, illuminates our need for a savior, points us to the provision of Jesus, and guides us into a life of true freedom.

The blog postNearly 30 years ago, I had my first real encounter with what not to do as a leader. I was working in a General Motors factory where the culture was one of daily disrespect. Leaders--if you could call them that--were quick to belittle, yell, scream (with spittle flying) at employees on the floor. The lesson I learned wasn't the one they thought they were teaching.This behavior wasn't "tough love" or "just how things are done in manufacturing." It was toxic. And it didn't lead to improved results. It didn't drive engagement. It didn't foster continuous improvement. It certainly didn't build trust. At best, that type of leadership creates short-term compliance. At worst, it drives costly mistakes, disengagement, and deep cultural scars.It was management by intimidation--and it failed. Repeatedly.Fast forward to today, and the evidence is no longer just anecdotal. Organizational psychologist Adam Grant recently wrote in The New York Times:"The evidence is clear: Leadership by intimidation and insult is a bad strategy. Belittling people doesn't boost their productivity; it diminishes it. Disrespect doesn't just demotivate. It also disrupts focus, causing costly mistakes [including in operating rooms]."Read the full article (free link)

“Our dear friend Yashoda, your son sometimes comes to our houses before the milking of the cows and releases the calves, and when the master of the house becomes angry, your son merely smiles. Sometimes He devises some process by which He steals palatable curd, butter and milk, which He then eats and drinks. When the monkeys assemble, He divides it with them, and when the monkeys have their bellies so full that they won't take more, He breaks the pots. Sometimes, if He gets no opportunity to steal butter or milk from a house, He will be angry at the householders, and for His revenge He will agitate the small children by pinching them. Then, when the children begin crying, Krishna will go away.” (Shrimad Bhagavatam, 10.8.29)

With a view to ascertaining Sri Rama's actual strength, Sugriva expatiates on the prowess of Vali and tells him how Mayavi's brother, the demon Dundubhi too challenged him to a duel and how, having made short work of him, Vali listlessly hurled his dead body crossing over to the precincts of the hermitage of Sage Matanga, and how the site of the hermitage having been desecrated with blood, spattered here and there from its mouth, Sage Matanga pronounced a curse forbidding the individual who had perpetrated the sacrilege to enter the hermitage on the pain of death, thus enabling Sugriva to live unmolested in that retreat. In order to convince Sugriva of his superior might, Sri Rama kicks the skeleton of Dundubhi away with his toe. Belittling this feat on the ground of the skeleton having shrunk as a result of exposure, Sugriva further asks Sri Rama to pierce with his arrow one of the seven sal tress standing there and thus demonstrate his strength.Recitation: 00:00 - 14:54Translation: 14:58 - 36:29

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with breaking news from the presidential race. Donald Trump's most persistent critic on the campaign trail, Chris Christie, has announced that he is dropping out of 2024. Also in this episode, we examine how Trump has often claimed to have unlimited power as president. Now, his pitch for "absolute power" and his claims of immunity from any legal consequences should be setting off alarm bells. Yet, all we are hearing from Republicans are the sounds of silence. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
