On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we are joined with Juliette Bryant, a courageous survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's vile sex trafficking operation. Lured by the promise of a modeling career, Juliette was instead ensnared in a web of calculated evil. She was abused, exploited, and flown to Epstein's private island where countless others suffered the same fate.This is more than a scandal. It is a moral reckoning. And yet, the full, unredacted Epstein list, containing the names of powerful men who enabled or participated in this wickedness, remains sealed. Why is that?Donald Trump promised the American people he would release it. Now, he mocks those demanding it, calling us “bad people” and “weaklings.” Well, it's actually bad and weak to fail to release the Epstein list, Mr. President. But we will not be intimidated. The righteous are commanded to expose darkness, not negotiate with it. Trump's evasiveness increasingly resembles guilt. It's certainly not strong leadership.We will not be silenced. Not by politicians, not by media, and not by fear. We demand the truth.--https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOoq6zS6i2LVAaJq4sRAuJqL9WZWgV03ccH9c4dufm2XMD0ozmV5S

This message challenges us to examine the gap between claimed love and lived-out truth--and invites us to become people who speak truth and extend hospitality with courage and care.Whether you've struggled with being honest in hard moments, or you've been tempted to ignore the needs of others because of busyness or burnout, this sermon will gently confront and compassionately call you forward.We continue our Love Thy Neighbor series by looking at Leviticus 19:11-14 and rediscover how holiness is more than personal piety--it's about relational integrity and compassion in action.Other Episodes in this series:Leftover & Left BehindHonesty & HospitalityLove & Loyalty (coming July 28)Sin & Slavery (coming August 11)Foreign & Friend (coming August 18)Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Trump still hasn't released the Epstein client list, the very list he promised to expose during his presidential campaign. He said the swamp would be drained and that the elite pedophiles would face justice. But the victims are still waiting.This isn't oversight. It's betrayal.Why is Trump suddenly acting like an Israeli ambassador? Why are American leaders more loyal to a foreign state than to their own people, and their own children?Justice delayed is justice denied, and we need to keep the pressure on until Trump becomes even more of a "panican" about this.No more Kash Patel. No more hiding behind “ongoing investigations.” No more delays. Fire Pam Bondi and whoever else is obstructing the truth.Epstein's victims deserve justice. And if Trump won't deliver it then, again, we will.—https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee
Today we're talking about what no one else will: The Trump administration has failed to release the Epstein client list — and that's not just a mistake, it's a betrayal. The powerful pedophiles of this world are being shielded, protected, and enabled while children are trafficked and raped.This is what happens when kings fear exposure more than they fear God.We're connecting the dots: Epstein wasn't just a creep with an island — he was part of a global blackmail machine. And it's time we ask why a man with a Jewish surname, operating with international impunity, ended up so close to the Mossad, Israeli intelligence, and foreign interests. Why is Trump suddenly all-in on Israel and Netanyahu? Is it coincidence… or is this the whole game?If Trump is serious about justice, he needs to act like it. No more hiding behind Kash Patel. No more empty speeches while Pam Bondi sits on a “truckload” of Epstein files. Fire them. Release the list. Stand before God and the people, or be counted among the wicked.The blood of the innocent cries out from the ground. And if our so-called leaders won't deliver justice — then we will.—https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee
Intro:Good morning! Matt Flummer teaches today on a challenging, crucial topic: justice. In our Proverbs series, we'll explore biblical justice, contrasting it with secular views to find profound clarity.Scripture References: Proverbs 1:1-3, 17:23, 29:4, James 2:1-4, Proverbs 18:5, 24:23-24, Isaiah 5:20, Proverbs 11:1, 20:10, 16:8, 16:11, 28:16, Leviticus 19:35-36, Proverbs 6:10-11, 10:4, 13:18, 13:23, 14:21, 14:31, 19:17, 21:26, 31:8-9, Deuteronomy 10:18, Isaiah 1:17, Jeremiah 21:11-12, Proverbs 21:3, Micah 6:8, Romans 3:10-26Key Points:Defining Justice: Proverbs links justice (Mishpat) and righteousness (Sadech) as inseparable. Secular views often split, focusing on either fairness/equity or freedom/individualism.Injustice in Proverbs:Bribery (Prov 17:23): Using influence for personal gain, treating people as means.Partiality to Wicked (Prov 18:5): Refusing to confront evil within one's "team" for perceived unity.Justice in Proverbs:Business Dealings (Prov 11:1): Fair measures, honest gain, opposing dishonest practices.Treatment of the Poor: Poverty is complex—caused by laziness/foolishness (Prov 6:10-11) AND injustice/oppression (Prov 13:23). Proverbs commands radical generosity regardless of cause (Prov 14:21), honoring God. We must also defend the oppressed (Prov 31:8-9), as God aligns with the vulnerable. Jesus himself identified with the poor.Three Takeaways:"I and my things are not my own." Our wealth is God's and partly for the poor (gleaning laws). We are stewards; be radically generous.Corporate & Individual Responsibility. Bible shows both: families/nations accountable for others' sins, but also individual accountability before God. Hold both truths.Justice Linked to Worship. Justice is giving each their due, including God. "To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice" (Prov 21:3).The Way of Justice: Through the Cross:"No one is righteous" (Rom 3:10). We can't be just on our own.God's righteousness is manifested through faith in Jesus (Rom 3:21-26). He is both just and our justifier. The cross is ultimate justice.Conclusion:We can't achieve justice alone. Trust Jesus, who is just and justifies us. Practicing justice pleases God, made possible by Him.Call to Action:At worship, ask the Spirit to reveal injustice in your life (e.g., treating people as means). Submit to Jesus. The communion table symbolizes His ultimate act of justice. Come and receive His body broken and blood shed for you. Support the show*Summaries and transcripts are generated using AI.

In this episode of Uncommon Sense, we're talking about Tucker Carlson's highly discussed interview with Senator Ted Cruz. I'll be sharing my honest thoughts on how it went, why I think Tucker came out ahead, and what this kind of bold, unscripted, and unapologetically frank conversation means for the future of political discourse (spoiler: I'm all for it).We'll go into why I support constructive confrontation—yes, even when it gets "mean" and uncomfortable. The Founding Fathers didn't tiptoe around the truth, so why should we? They debated passionately because the stakes were high. The polite punditry act is wearing thin, and people are tired of political puppets mouthing safe lines. They're craving what we saw here: real conviction, real disagreement, and real questions.We'll cover why I believe Tucker won this exchange: from his biblical literacy to his serious concerns about foreign lobbying groups like AIPAC having a hand in U.S. policy. Ted got visibly nervous when pressed about Scripture, about Israel, and about U.S. involvement in a possible war with Iran. And the question still lingers: Why are we only now suddenly being pushed to act, when Trump was reportedly targeted by Iran two years ago?Most importantly, we'll reflect on Tucker's question—a theological one with deep political ramifications: Who is the real Israel according to God? Is it the modern state that does not believe Jesus is Lord and historically has required a denial of Christ for Jewish returnees? Or is it the true church—those who belong to Christ?I'll share my belief unapologetically: Israel is the body of believers in Jesus Christ. Not those who reject Him. Not those who crucified Him. That's a hard truth, but a necessary one in these last days when clarity very much matters.Faith shouldn't be a popularity contest.--https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOorwAVEYslTlOGA-36_bHHjruNDOebEKWQ6M2115NZZwL8WG_ali

In this installment of our Summer in the Psalms series, Pastor Benjamin Kandt reflects on Psalm 37:27–28, a passage that calls us to actively pursue goodness in a world marred by brokenness. Pastor Kandt unpacks how God's steadfast love for justice is not only a comfort but also a call—to live distinctively as His people. We are invited to turn from evil, do good, and trust that the Lord will not forsake His faithful ones.This message reminds us that God's justice is not delayed, forgotten, or passive. Instead, it is deeply rooted in His character and woven into the lives of His saints. As we consider what it means to be preserved by God and to dwell forever in His care, we are challenged to embody righteousness in our ordinary decisions and relationships—confident that the Lord loves justice and never abandons His beloved.

Today, we're taking a look at the unraveling mayhem situation in California, where Governor Gavin Newsom's failure to lead has allowed chaos to run absolutely wild. Violent riots involving illegal immigrants (most of whom are military-aged men) are breaking out across the state. These individuals are not assimilating, they are disrupting, demanding, and waving foreign flags while burning ours on American soil. As California spirals, it's no surprise that federal intervention has become necessary. President Trump has stepped in where state "leadership" would not. This really isn't about politics, it's about preserving order, protecting citizens, and upholding the rule of law. We are a people who serve a God of justice, not disorder. What's happening is not compassionate, it's destabilizing. California deserves better, and America must wake up before this becomes the norm nationwide. God forbid. Let's talk about what's really going on in California and why prayer, truth, and resolve are crucial right now.--https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOoqJuDPZk6H7VWSxgepSo3RWAJCtIGO9wrHmULH1iMgxSzkJ791_--Order CULTure: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/SLYWFXAB6479S

In this episode of Thinking Out Loud, Nathan and Cameron explore the recent DC embassy shooting through a Christian theological lens. Why do people scapegoat others? What drives individuals to violent action in the name of causes they don't directly represent? Drawing on René Girard's scapegoat theory, biblical concepts of atonement, and the moral confusion of modern culture, they analyze how this tragedy reveals the deep brokenness in human nature and our desperate attempts at meaning-making. With thoughtful insight and pastoral clarity, Nathan and Cameron reflect on individualism, ideological identity, and the limits of symbolic action.

Joe Biden has been diagnosed with cancer—and no, I'm not mourning. The Bible is clear: “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap” (Galatians 6:7).Biden has sown corruption, deceit, and godlessness. He sold out America to enrich his family, lied to the people he swore to serve, and helped usher in moral, spiritual, and national decay. And let's not ignore the disturbing allegations in Ashley Biden's diary, which suggest that Joe Biden is a pedophile.This isn't about political vengeance—it's about God's Supreme Justice.--https://noblegoldinvestments.com/
Today, we're discussing the recent controversy surrounding Shiloh Hendrix, who called a black child a racial slur at a playground instead of taking the concern to the child's parents. This behavior is not only unacceptable—it's unchristian. As followers of Christ, we are called to be above reproach (1 Timothy 3:2), especially when dealing with the next generation. God will not judge us by our skin color, so why are we so quick to judge others by theirs? We can simultaneously be aware of the statistics about certain cultures within particular races, and realize that this is not how we handle those problems. We'll explore the biblical approach to conflict resolution. When there's a problem with a child's behavior, the godly route is to speak directly with their parents—not to attack the child. Christians must hold one another accountable. --https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee
You Are the Light of the World Authority and Responsibility Pastor Bryan Hudson, D.Min. Matthew 5:13, You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. 14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Main Themes: 1. Identity & Purpose Jesus said, “You are the light of the world” and “salt of the earth.” The church must understand its purpose not just as a community, but as a force for good in the world. We're not called to shine in the church only, but in the world—where light is needed most. The Lighthouse Analogy: A lighthouse doesn't remove the rocks or calm the sea, but it shines light to guide ships away from danger. Similarly, believers are called to shine in dark places, helping others avoid destruction. Challenges to Shining: We cannot shine effectively if we are living in darkness ourselves. God wants to make us blameless and harmless, as Philippians 2:15 says, so that we can shine in a crooked generation. Real-Life Application: Light = Good Works + Godly Living + Justice Shining includes helping the weak, standing for justice, and living righteously, not just evangelizing. Examples from scripture (Micah 6:8, Isaiah 1:17, Acts 20:35) support this. Biblical Justice & DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion): These values are biblical, not just political: Diversity: Revelation 7:9 Equity: Proverbs 2:9, 2 Samuel 8:15 Inclusion: Nehemiah 8:10, Jeremiah 22:3 Believers must not remain silent when injustice occurs but shine the light of truth and compassion. Authority of the Church: Jesus gave spiritual authority to His church (Matthew 16:19). We are to bind and loose in alignment with heaven, standing against darkness wherever God assigns us. Who is the Church? The church is not a building but people called by God (Ecclesia). We are the church wherever we go and must reflect Christ in action and truth. Conclusion: Your light must shine where it is needed—in society, politics, schools, neighborhoods. Don't hide your light. Let others see your good works and glorify God. “We all shine differently, but we are all called to shine.”

Doug Stuart welcomes back Dr. Cal Beisner, founder and national spokesman of the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation. Dr. Beisner discusses his book Prosperity and Poverty: The Compassionate Use of Resources in a World of Scarcity, originally published in the late 1980s. The conversation delves into how the principles outlined in the book remain relevant today, addressing issues such as the compassionate use of resources, economic justice, and the role of stewardship in a biblical context.Dr. Beisner provides a critique of Ron Sider's influential book Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger, analyzing how economic principles have been interpreted within Christian circles. The episode explores the notion of social justice, differentiating between biblical and contemporary interpretations, and offers insights into effective responses to poverty through a Christian lens. Dr. Beisner's discussion is enriched by historical perspectives and his own experiences in the economics committee of the Coalition on Revival. He also offers suggestions for Christians and church leaders on how to actively address poverty through stewardship and charity, emphasizing the need for proper economic understanding aligned with biblical teachings.Listeners interested in learning more about Dr. Beisner's work can explore resources available through the Cornwall Alliance and are encouraged to read his detailed exploration of justice in both economic and social domains.

In this bonus episode, Jacob shares his recent appearance on Eschatology Matters, where he joined host Josh Howard to discuss the question: Is Christian Nationalism Dead? The conversation explores Christian nationalism's trajectory, its theological underpinnings, and its implications for governance. Jacob presents a Christian libertarian critique of the movement, emphasizing the biblical limitations of civil government and the importance of separating state power from religious enforcement. He argues that while Christian nationalists correctly identify cultural and political problems, their reliance on the state as an instrument of change is misguided and historically counterproductive.The discussion also delves into the role of Romans 13, the concept of sphere sovereignty, and the balance between advocating for Christian cultural influence and avoiding the pitfalls of using government power to enforce morality. Jacob and Josh analyze differing views on theonomy, proportional justice, and the biblical foundation for civil law, contrasting Christian nationalism with a more limited libertarian approach to governance. Ultimately, Jacob contends that Christian engagement in politics should focus on reducing state overreach rather than repurposing its mechanisms for a new agenda.Full Shownotes At BiblicalAnarchyPodcast.com

Jim Osman expounds on Psalm 37:32-34, emphasizing how the righteous are preserved through earthly trials and ultimately vindicated by God. He explains that while the wicked pursue and oppress believers, they will be judged, and the faithful will inherit the land. God's justice preserves the righteous, and patience in His promises ensures their eternal reward. In the end, they will witness the downfall of the wicked and rejoice in God's righteousness. ★ Support this podcast ★
The nuclear family is the backbone of a strong society—without it, we will crumble. In this episode, we're talking about Elon Musk's latest love child with Ashley St. Clair and why Conservatives cannot fall into the trap of normalizing single motherhood and reckless men who create broken families. Strong individuals come from strong families. When the family unit collapses, people become weak, directionless, and ultimately easier for the government to exploit. The more broken the home, the more dependent the individual. And guess who loves that? The people in power who want control over your life. So, we are talking biblical gender roles, marriage, family, and why morals will always matter—even if they stop mattering to everyone else. A father's leadership and a mother's nurturing aren't interchangeable, and no amount of modern delusion will change that. Children need both a mother and a father in the home. And no, morals don't change for you once you're rich. Wh*re culture needs to die because the next generation is at stake.--https://policecoffee.com/?srsltid=AfmBOooc599VmOCGa3oE2DnVcJ4uLA69XDoBZf8ChiOpFqVfKc_BASiR
I'm excited to have Skye Jethani back on the podcast. When we talk about justice, we often think in binary terms - judgment or mercy, punishment or forgiveness. But as Skye argues, the biblical vision of justice is far more nuanced and holistic. At its core, justice is about the proper ordering of relationships - between humanity and God, as well as between individuals and communities. It's not just about retribution, but about restoring the shalom, the wholeness and flourishing, that God intended for his creation. This understanding upends many of our assumptions about justice, both in the church and in society. He challenges the popular American Christian idea that justice is something the government does, not the church. And he unpacks how this bifurcation between the "vertical" and "horizontal" dimensions of justice has deeply distorted our theology and our engagement with the world. But Skye also offers a compelling alternative - a vision of justice that holds together judgment and mercy, individual transformation and systemic change. It's a vision rooted in the cosmic victory of Christ on the cross, where the powers of evil were defeated and a new order was established. This is a conversation that spans creation, Christology, and the church's role in pursuing righteousness. Skye draws on Scripture, church history, and his own experience to paint a rich, nuanced portrait of justice that challenges us to rethink our assumptions and expand our imaginations. So join us as we reckon with justice.Skye Jethani is an award-winning author, speaker, and co-host of the Holy Post Podcast and co-founder of Holy Post Media. Skye has written more than a dozen books and served as an editor and executive at Christianity Today for more than a decade. Raised in a religiously and ethnically diverse family, his curiosity about faith led him to study comparative religion before entering seminary and pastoral ministry. With a unique ability to connect Christian thought and contemporary culture, his voice has been featured in The New York Times, USA Today, and The Washington Post, and he's spoken to audiences throughout the world as diverse as the U.S. Naval Academy, The Chautauqua Institution, and the Lausanne Movement.Skye's Book:What If Jesus Was Serious About Justice?Skye's Recommendations:How Far to the Promised LandThe Ballot and the BibleSubscribe to Our Substack: Shifting CultureConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@allnations.usGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

In a world that often feels divided, we invite you to engage in a new sermon series centered on Micah 6:8, which reveals what God requires of us and how we can actively serve His kingdom of love and justice here on earth. This series will challenge you to discover our common ground as Christians, to extend love to all, and to engage with those who see the world differently. Together, we will explore how to live out our faith in ways that bring healing, unity, and hope.In this first message, "God's Day In Court," the Rev. Dr. Oliver Wells helps us to see the importance of biblical justice, saying, "It is not an elective, it's a requirement!" In fact, God's command to do justice in Micah 6:8 is the precondition of the other two commands, to be merciful and humble. Check out this message to learn more about justice and how God intends it to shape every aspect o four life.
Today on Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we're discussing Kanye West's latest internet meltdown and what it reveals about the state of our unfortunate over-sexualized and depraved culture. From celebrity chaos to societal decay, it's clear—without God, the world spirals into total confusion and sin. We're breaking down the bigger picture and talking about why it's time to turn away from worldliness/wickedness and the dysfunction of degeneracy and back to the truth and love of Christ. Jesus is the only sane way forward, ladies and gentlemen.--https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-copy?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=tbs_thebiblestudy_searchads-nixwdmd&tw_source=google&tw_adid=608801073541&tw_campaign=17672311083&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAC-_2dRN1WU6lhTaWFNApFgzBkVe_&gclid=CjwKCAiAwaG9BhAREiwAdhv6Y_Xc6w4LM7_4otTu1-XgzYjKKwhwbNBCdqLFVTDdXToND7Rt6JU2hBoC3hsQAvD_BwE

Because Jesus Christ fulfilled justice for you, that grace the way He did it. Jesus Christ became oppressed and poor so that you could be rich toward God, and the beauty of that will get you out of yourself and make you someone who could do justice.
A righteous versus wicked conflict permeates Scripture from Genesis to modern times. Through Psalm 37, we see how the wicked plot against God's people with drawn swords and bent bows. Yet despite this hostility, the righteous are assured of God's protection and ultimate victory. The sermon examines this spiritual warfare and its implications for believers today—an exposition of Psalm 37:12-15. ★ Support this podcast ★

This is the second episode in this special series. The word JUSTICE has become a lightening rod of dissension in recent years, commandeered by people with personal agendas that create politcal and social confusion, even opening the door for anarchy and mayhem. The Church has sat back and remained silent, responding by being absent at the table of propelling God's KINGDOM agenda of being agents of Heaven's Justice. It is time to advance the flourishing of God that results in personal transformation and the flourishing of not only ourselves, but the communities in which we live!

Send us a textWhat is meant by "social justice" today, and why do so many sincerely justice-loving Christians warn against it? Dr. Calvin Beisner of the Cornwall Alliance joins us to discuss social justice vs. biblical justice. We explore the complexities of justice, economic ethics, the flaws of socialism and capitalism, and the role of Christianity in addressing these global challenges. Dr. Beisner offers insights from his book Social Justice vs. Biblical Justice, where he refutes claims that the Bible advocates for wealth redistribution and builds a biblical framework for true justice. The discussion highlights the four criteria of biblical justice—impartiality, proportionality, rendering what is due, and conformity to God's law—while examining why some "rights" claimed in the name of social justice violate true, biblically defined rights. Don't miss this episode as this topic continues to be highly relevant and believers must have a solid biblical perspective in order to think rightly, form culture, and respond to the needs of our society.View the transcript, leave comments, and check out recommended resources on the Episode Landing Page!
