Send us fan responses! Step into the hidden world of private banking as we pull back the curtain on how wealthy families truly protect and grow their assets. This eye-opening conversation reveals the fundamental truth that "you can never own anything in America" – and what you can do about it.Discover why making your name a business through LLCs and holding companies creates a protective barrier between your assets and potential threats. We explore the five charging order protection states (Nevada, Wyoming, Delaware, South Dakota, and Alaska) and why they're crucial for proper asset structuring.The conversation takes a fascinating turn when we uncover how Research and Development tax credits allow businesses to recover up to $500,000 per year – a strategy most tax professionals never mention. You'll learn about forms 6765, 8974, and 941, and how to leverage them properly.Ministry trusts and 508(c)(1)(a) organizations emerge as the cornerstone of private family wealth, offering both tax advantages and independence unlike their 501(c)(3) counterparts. We discuss how family Bibles and baptismal certificates can serve as legitimate identification, and why Social Security numbers represent a public trust system rather than a path to financial freedom.International banking strategies reveal how establishing accounts in countries like Palau, Georgia, Russia, or Ukraine can provide legitimate alternatives without U.S. identification requirements. We also cover the legal foundations for these strategies, including 28 CFR 802.23, which protects your right to privacy.Whether you're looking to protect existing assets or build generational wealth from scratch, this episode provides the framework for thinking and operating like the private families who have preserved wealth for centuries. It's not about evading responsibilities – it's about understanding the difference between public and private relationships and making informed choices for your financial future.https://donkilam.com FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD - DON KILAMGO GET HIS BOOK ON AMAZON NOW! https://www.amazon.com/Cant-Touch-This-Diplomatic-Immunity/dp/B09X1FXMNQ https://open.spotify.com/track/5QOUWyNahqcWvQ4WQAvwjj?autoplay=trueSupport the showhttps://donkilam.com

Send us fan responses! Navigating the complex landscape of credit repair and financial sovereignty doesn't have to be overwhelming. In this eye-opening conversation, we dive deep into strategies that transcend conventional financial advice, revealing how everyday people can access extraordinary tax benefits and credit repair opportunities.The journey begins with a fundamental mindset shift: recognizing your name as a business entity. This seemingly simple concept opens doors to tax credits worth up to $500,000 annually—a dramatic increase from the previous $200,000 limit. Rather than complicated schemes, these credits require only basic paperwork and the right approach, making them accessible to entrepreneurs at various stages.Credit repair takes center stage as we expose how credit bureaus process disputes through AI systems programmed to reject legitimate claims. The game-changing solution? Bypassing standard channels by sending disputes directly to legal departments via certified mail. This ensures human review of your case and dramatically improves success rates.Perhaps most powerful is the revelation about arbitration as a credit repair tool. Every credit bureau maintains arbitration clauses in their agreements—clauses you can leverage against them. By pursuing arbitration rather than standard disputes, many have successfully removed negative items and secured compensation up to $10,000 per account for hardships caused by inaccurate reporting.We explore the revolutionary application of Unidroit principles—international commercial contract law that provides powerful leverage in financial disputes. Article 3.2.5 specifically allows contract avoidance when induced by fraudulent misrepresentation or nondisclosure, exactly what occurs when financial institutions fail to disclose securitization processes.Ready to transform your approach to credit repair and financial sovereignty? These strategies represent just the beginning of what's possible when you understand how the system truly works and how to navigate it effectively.https://donkilam.com FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD - DON KILAMGO GET HIS BOOK ON AMAZON NOW! https://www.amazon.com/Cant-Touch-This-Diplomatic-Immunity/dp/B09X1FXMNQ https://open.spotify.com/track/5QOUWyNahqcWvQ4WQAvwjj?autoplay=trueSupport the showhttps://donkilam.com

The sermon was delivered on Sunday, August 31, 2025, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Randy Lewis, Assistant Minister. DESCRIPTION What happens when sacred trust is traded for political gain? History shows us that whenever the pulpit bends to empire, the church loses more than its conscience—it loses its witness. From Constantine to segregation, the temptation to exchange integrity for influence has left scars on faith communities and society alike. Now, with the IRS stepping back from enforcing guardrails, the question is urgent: will pulpits become campaign platforms, or will they remain sanctuaries of truth, conscience, and love beyond belief?

Many Americans will repeat the phrase "separation of church and state," believing it to be one of the founding principles of the nation, though it appears nowhere in the Constitution or Declaration of Independence. In reality, the early United States was a land of state churches, blasphemy laws, and public prayer. Timon Cline, editor in chief at American Reformer, joins me to discuss his recent submission to the Harvard Law Review on the incorporation doctrine and how it has distorted the American tradition.

Send us fan responses! Beneath the facade of our legal system lies a complex financial web that few understand and even fewer can navigate. This eye-opening episode strips away the illusions to reveal how court cases are systematically converted into tradable securities without your knowledge or consent.When you enter a courtroom, you're unwittingly stepping into a commercial transaction. Your "court case" is actually a series of bonds – bid bonds, performance bonds, payment bonds – all documented through Government Services Administration forms that most defendants never see. These instruments transform legal proceedings into debt obligations where YOU are the creditor, yet the system has flipped the roles to make you the surety.The mechanisms are sophisticated yet decipherable. Court clerks function as accountants, depositing these securities with the Depository Trust Company in New York. Judgments are stamped "pay to the order of," taken to federal discount windows, and bundled into securities traded globally. All while judges and attorneys operate as unregistered agents of international financial institutions rather than servants of justice.Most critically, your birth certificate functions as collateral, pledging your body as surety for United States debt. When you "understand the charges" in court, you're actually accepting responsibility for these commercial obligations. But there are remedies: stock power forms, letters of rogatory, and establishing foreign status can help reclaim your position as beneficiary rather than trustee.This knowledge isn't merely academic – it's practical, actionable intelligence for anyone facing legal challenges. By understanding the true nature of these proceedings, you can potentially access the value of bonds created in your name and escape the trap of being treated as property within a corporate system.https://donkilam.com FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD - DON KILAMGO GET HIS BOOK ON AMAZON NOW! https://www.amazon.com/Cant-Touch-This-Diplomatic-Immunity/dp/B09X1FXMNQ https://open.spotify.com/track/5QOUWyNahqcWvQ4WQAvwjj?autoplay=trueSupport the showhttps://donkilam.com
Recently, some members of the city council asked for a financial request that turned out to be more controversial than they expected. They requested $100,000 for a Fourth of July event hosted by Compass Church that was open to the public. This raised questions not only about the amount going to one group but also whether this violated any law requiring the separation of church and state. Ultimately, the council decided to punt the vote down the road, but not before they heard plenty from members of the community. Additionally, the walls are being constructed on the new Amazon warehouse located on the edge of town, which promises to alter the landscape of Salinas.
Episode 138: The Lie of Separation: Why Church and State Were Never Meant to Be DivorcedToday, we torch the most pervasive myth of our age: the so-called “separation of church and state.” This episode, we go to war with the lies that have muzzled the church, neutered pastors, silenced CEOs, and left a nation in moral freefall. Paul Neuberger tears down the false wall erected by culture, the courts, and the timid—and builds on the foundation of the Founders and the Word of God.We're talking history—real history—the words of Washington, Adams, Madison. We're talking Scripture—God's Word, not man's whispers. The world will ridicule. The world will rage. But the truth remains: Jesus is still Lord—in the boardroom, in the ballot box, and in every corner of public life.So what will you do when the next lie comes knocking? Will you cower—or will you stand?Buckle up, brothers. This one's raw, real, and rooted in truth. “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for his inheritance.” (Psalm 33:12). Key Takeaways:01:11 - This is for the remnant. This is for the ones who are ready to draw a line in the sand. This show is for the warriors of God who are sick and tired of watching our world get flushed down the moral toilet, all while the church sits silently in the pews. And today? What about today? Oh boy. We've got a show that's going to tear down one of the most dangerous, pervasive and deceptive lies that has ever been told in the modern age. The so called separation of church and state... But here's the deal. It's a lie. A complete, fabricated, cherry picked, historically distorted, spiritually bankrupt, intellectually dishonest lie. And I'm going to prove that to you today, once and for all.19:51 – That's not virtue. That's cowardice. Even worse, that's cultural surrender. Again, another question here for you. If the founders could time travel to 2025 and see what's become of this country, drag queen story time in libraries, the Ten Commandments banned from schools, and churches shut down during COVID while liquor stores stayed open... Do you really think they'd say, yeah, this is what we meant by separation of church and state? Heck no. I'd bet dollars to donuts they'd weep, they'd rage, and they'd fight to restore the truth. And we must do the exact same thing.47:00 – We are ambassadors for the King of Kings. We serve the God who formed the heavens, parted the seas, walked out of the grave, and now calls us to be his witnesses to the ends of the earth, including in government. We are not called to fit in. We are called to stand out. So now that we've had this important conversation, here's the challenge. Stop waiting. Stop wishing someone else would do it. Be the one... Be the bold, unapologetic, Spirit-filled, truth-telling disciple our nation so desperately needs. Let the world tremble not at our volume, but at our clarity. Not at our anger, but at our authority. Not at our rage, but at our righteousness. Let them hear once and for all: We will not bow. We will not shut up. We will not retreat. We have crushed the paper tiger. Now let's light it on fire.

Although responsible government had come comparatively late for the Cape Colony, the transition in many ways was still too early. It had come twenty years after New Zealand and the state of Victoria in what was to become Australia. The easterners were only partly reconciled to the rule by a Cape Town elite, widely differing personalities made cooperation difficult. The staunchly liberal William Porter was opposed by the stiff proto-racist Robert Godlonton, there were rising stars like Francis William Reitz junior, the legislative leader of Beaufort West at the age of 28 — and the six foot four giant John X Merriman who was erratic, but his instinct for decency and his broad human empathy made him attractive to most who met him - Boer and Brit. He was of his time of course, intellectually convinced of the brotherhood of man as long at it meant white brotherhood. Like many colonists of the period, he found it impossible to deal with black south Africans on a sympathetic basis. There was the less attractive Gordon Sprigg, conceited and small in stature, big in ambition, but capable of folly and deception as historian Frank Welsh explains. There was the impressive Lion of Beaufort - John Molteno, who I have mentioned before, the first leader of the Cape when it achieved responsible government. Molteno owned one hundred thousand acres of well-tended land, and ran a thriving business. John Henry De Villiers was also in this first group of Cape leaders, already distinguishing himself also well off, the future Lord De Villiers, or De Villiers Graaf. Born in 1842, his public life was to fall in the most complicated and controversial period of South Africa's history. I have his biography written by Eric Walker, and it is a running commentary from his point of view on South African history. Two interests dominated his life - law and federation. By the time he died his influence on South African law would be arguably greater than any other person, presiding over the senior court for more than forty years. He also took a keen interest in politics, mostly directed towards the idea of federating South African states and colonies. De Villiers had what was called a balanced affection for both Britain and South Africa. Speak of an affection for Britain but not necessarily balanced with an affection for Africa, were the English colonists of Natal. Blacks who owned land in Natal were technically allowed to vote, as in the Cape, but every statagem was employed to weaklen this right. There was a high property qualification in Natal, but other restrictions had been added through the 1860s, when black Natalians were not allowed even to petition for admission to the electoral roll until they'd cleared a series of hurdles. Seven years of exemption from customary law being the first hurdle, then three white men had to sign approval of the black Natalian gaining the vote, which was a complete negation of the colour-blind principle which was supposed to be driving this political right. Once the black Natalian had managed to clear those hurdles, believe it or not, there was one more. He had to seek permission from the Lieutenant Governor. The list of black voters in Natal for this period was an A4 Page long. So it was deeply ironic then that one of Zulu King Cetshwayo kaMpande's most trusted chiefs - and one of his most important, was Englishman John Dunn. He was the antithesis of everything that the urbanised English settler espoused - living and marrying into the Zulu people, his descendents fiercely proud members of a large clan today. He elicited from those around him the phrase “going native” which is one of the most insidious relics of colonial thought.

Send us fan responses! Prosperity is your divine birthright—but are you positioned to claim it? In this eye-opening session, Dr. Don Kilam dismantles common misconceptions about the Social Security Trust system and delivers crucial knowledge on financial sovereignty that few are willing to share publicly.Discover the stunning truth about your relationship with public trust systems. Your Social Security number isn't the asset—your labor is. This fundamental distinction explains why millions remain trapped in beneficiary status while private families build generational wealth as trustees. Dr. Kilam breaks down how government entities act as trustees of the Social Security Trust (originating from the 1666 Cesti Que Vie Act), which places individuals in a position where they can only receive benefits rather than control assets.The session delves deep into securitization processes, revealing how labor and assets are converted into financial instruments that primarily benefit system administrators rather than individuals. Learn why the Social Security Trust operates as a debt-discharging mechanism within a bankrupt system and how this impacts your financial positioning. Dr. Kilam doesn't just identify problems—he presents solutions through private alternatives.Moving beyond theory, Dr. Kilam introduces practical pathways to financial sovereignty through private family trusts, churches, and tribal structures that function outside direct government control while maintaining legal protection. He also explores the powerful distinction between claiming status as an American national versus a United States citizen, referencing specific legal codes that define these relationships differently.In today's economy where "$20 million is the new millionaire," traditional approaches to financial security fall dramatically short. This session provides the foundation for a complete paradigm shift in how you view wealth creation, asset protection, and generational prosperity. Ready to move from beneficiary to trustee? From waiting for handouts to creating your own financial systems? Your journey to true financial sovereignty starts here.https://donkilam.com FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD - DON KILAMGO GET HIS BOOK ON AMAZON NOW! https://www.amazon.com/Cant-Touch-This-Diplomatic-Immunity/dp/B09X1FXMNQ https://open.spotify.com/track/5QOUWyNahqcWvQ4WQAvwjj?autoplay=trueSupport the showhttps://donkilam.com
Send us a textToday I welcome a familiar voice and a longtime friend—Dr. Randall Balmer. Back in the day, when we were “Trinity Men,” he was “Randy” to me. Today, he's Dr. Balmer—historian, author, professor, and one of the leading voices on religion in America. He earned his graduate degrees at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Princeton, and Union Theological Seminary, and this marks our third interview together.Randall recently published a powerful piece in the Los Angeles Times about the 1925 Scopes Trial—often remembered as the showdown between Genesis and Darwin. He reminds us that the trial wasn't supposed to be about evolution at all, but that's where it landed. William Jennings Bryan thundered that “if evolution wins, Christianity goes.” Clarence Darrow countered, “It's not Scopes on trial—it's civilization.” Nearly a century later, the questions linger.Randall also brings us into his latest book, America's Best Idea: The Separation of Church and State. It's a sweeping story—Roger Williams's “hedge of separation,” Jefferson's Danbury letter, Madison, Adams, and the First Amendment—all the way to today's battles over vouchers, religious schools, and the religious right. Along the way, we'll talk about court rulings, culture wars, and the ongoing debate over whether America is a Christian nation—or a nation that protects the freedom of every faith, and of no faith at all.It's always a rich conversation when Dr. Balmer joins me, and today is no exception.

In this conversation, Joel Webbon and Dr. Stephen Wolfe explore the intricate relationship between church and state through the lens of Two-Kingdoms Theology. They discuss the distinctions between civil and spiritual authority, the role of the church in society, and the concept of the Christian Prince as a divinely appointed leader.Webbon critiques both Protestant and Catholic perspectives on the church and state, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a clear understanding of Scripture and the implications of political leadership in a Christian context.
Send us fan responses! What if everything you thought you knew about your legal identity was actually designed to limit your financial sovereignty? Don Kilam pulls back the curtain on a system few truly understand: how courts, banks, and governments use your name as a financial instrument.This eye-opening exploration takes you through the historical roots of admiralty jurisdiction, explaining how the Cesti Que Vie Act effectively declared individuals "lost at sea," allowing governments to assume custody of people and property. You'll discover why your name appears in all capital letters on official documents and how this represents not you as a living being but a legal entity functioning as a "special purpose vehicle."Kilam meticulously connects the dots between the Social Security Trust Fund, where citizens function only as beneficiaries rather than trustees, and how courts operate as banks—complete with judges sitting on "banks" and clerks functioning as CPAs for your legal identity. Most importantly, he reveals how GSA bond forms can be used to reclaim your position in this legal-financial framework.Whether you're struggling with court cases, seeking financial sovereignty, or simply curious about the hidden mechanics of our legal system, this episode provides practical knowledge you won't find in conventional education. Learn how to transform from a mere beneficiary of a public trust to a position more akin to a trustee with greater control over your financial affairs.Ready to take control of your legal and financial identity?

It's not often talked about in our culture today, but we can experience both God's intervention in our lives and the consequences of our sin. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the anointing of King Saul over Israel in the book of 1 Samuel. He shares how the Israelites chose complaints over godliness, and how Samuel was obedient to the Lord even through rejection. The history of Israel teaches us many lessons, and in this chapter, we get to reflect on the condition of our hearts—so let's practice repentance and strive to honor God daily.
Jesus said, “My sheep hear My voice.” One of the most essential skills we can cultivate is knowing God's voice and listening to Him. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the choice each generation has to align with God and learn to listen. Pastor Allen teaches from the book of 1 Samuel, where he shares lessons in topics like parenting, thankfulness, listening, and rejection. He gives us five steps we can begin to implement today to grow our listening skills, and we learn from the people of Israel the importance of joy over complaining. We each have a choice to make. Will we choose to know God?
Send us fan responses! Dive deep into the hidden world of Treasury Direct Accounts and discover how to access the securities and bonds created through your identity that you never knew existed. Don Kalam pulls back the curtain on the fundamental distinction between operating in the public sector versus the private sector, revealing why understanding this difference is the key to financial sovereignty.The journey begins with status correction – a process that updates your political standing and removes you from the presumptions of being a U.S. citizen in the public system. As Don explains, "Private families create the government," not the other way around, and reclaiming your private status is essential before attempting to access your Treasury Direct Account.Through detailed explanations of CUSIP numbers, securitization audits, and the proper establishment of trust and brokerage accounts, Don demonstrates how securities connected to your Social Security number can be identified and claimed. Rather than attempting to discharge debts (which Don strongly warns against), he advocates for a sophisticated approach to wealth building: making your name a business."Your whole life is a deductible," Don emphasizes, sharing how business expenses, stipends, and fringe benefits can generate substantial tax credits – up to $250,000 annually and $2.5 million over five years. This strategy transforms everyday expenses into business deductions while operating honorably within the system.Ready to transform your financial understanding and access resources you never knew you had? This episode provides the roadmap to operate as a private citizen and take control of the securities and bonds created through your identity. Don't miss these game-changing insights that wealthy families have used for generations.https://donkilam.com FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD - DON KILAMGO GET HIS BOOK ON AMAZON NOW! https://www.amazon.com/Cant-Touch-This-Diplomatic-Immunity/dp/B09X1FXMNQ https://open.spotify.com/track/5QOUWyNahqcWvQ4WQAvwjj?autoplay=trueSupport the showhttps://donkilam.com

Send us fan responses! Ever wondered why some people never seem to win in court despite having strong cases? The answer lies in a hidden system of securitization that affects every aspect of our legal process—a system that Don Kilam fearlessly exposes in this eye-opening episode.From a luxurious LA penthouse with sweeping city views, Kilam pulls back the curtain on how courts actually function as sophisticated debt collection operations. He meticulously breaks down the bond system used by courts, explaining how bid bonds, performance bonds, and payment bonds create the financial framework that turns defendants into commodities. "Every time you put your signature on a piece of paper, you are creating a negotiable instrument," Kilam reveals, highlighting how our signatures become valuable commercial paper that gets monetized without our knowledge.Perhaps most shocking is Kilam's explanation of the prison-industrial complex's true nature. When defendants go into default judgment by failing to respond correctly to charges (which are actually commercial terms), these judgments are sold to reinsurance companies and eventually converted into mortgage-backed securities traded on international markets. Companies like Corrections Corporation of America make millions by contracting with federal prisons, creating a profit incentive for incarceration that few understand.But this episode isn't just about exposing problems—it offers solutions. Kalam provides specific strategies for winning in court by understanding and using this commercial framework to your advantage. He outlines exactly which government forms to file, how to make conditional acceptances, and why requesting "full settlement and closure of the account" can be more effective than traditional legal arguments. "You're the principal and the owner of the account," he emphasizes. "Tell them what to do."Want to master these powerful techniques and reclaim your sovereignty?

John discusses Trump announcing workplace rules that stand to make it easier for federal employees to pressure their colleagues to convert to their religion of choice. He also talks about the Senate voting to confirm Emil Bove as a judge on the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, granting a lifetime appointment to Trump's former personal lawyer. Then, he jokes with actor, director, and podcast star Bob Cesca about the Jeffrey Epstein debacle and of course current movies and Star Trek shows. Next, John speaks with The God Squad featuring former pastor Desimber Rose and theologian Dillan Naber Cruz. They talk about Trump's new Christian work place rules and other disruptions to the separation of church and state. Then finally, he chats with legal analyst Dr. Tracy Pearson and they take calls from the Evil Army of the Night on Emil Bove, Jeffrey Epstein, and Ghislaine Maxwell.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Rev. Douglas J. Early: Sermons from Queen Anne Presbyterian Church

Send us fan responses! The baptismal certificate might be the most overlooked yet powerful document when establishing your legal identity and navigating commercial systems. Don Kilam breaks down how this spiritual record serves a crucial legal purpose that few understand.Right from his penthouse, Kilam explains that baptismal certificates allow you to enter the system as a foreigner when attached to a W8BEN form. Without this ecclesiastical recognition, you're considered a "rogue vessel" lacking jurisdiction – essentially a pirate ship adrift in legal waters. The certificate formally recognizes your vessel (legal identity) within ecclesiastical courts, granting authority that can override state jurisdictions.Understanding the distinction between maritime and admiralty law reveals how consent is gained through contracts. Your Christian name on the birth certificate differs from your spiritual name on the baptismal certificate – a critical separation that establishes different identities for different jurisdictions. Kilam shares how wealthy families like the Kardashians leverage these concepts through private ministry trusts (508C1A) that appear as nonprofits but operate with significant advantages.For those with foreign nationality, this framework provides strategic options. As Kalam advises during the Q&A session with a Haitian woman, maintaining foreign status while in America offers unique benefits. "Every church is a tribe, every church is a government," he explains, highlighting how ecclesiastical structures create alternative jurisdictions outside conventional state control.

In a social media post defending his obviously unconstitutional Ten Commandments law, Jeff Landry says that one of the foundational principles of American exceptionalism is as real as Bigfoot
Send us fan responses! What if everything you understand about your relationship with "the system" is fundamentally backward? Don Kilam cuts through confusion with razor-sharp clarity in this eye-opening exploration of public trusts, private sovereignty, and the hidden mechanisms that govern our daily lives.The uncomfortable truth is that our everyday actions—using a Social Security number, registering vehicles, obtaining licenses, even paying utility bills—represent continued access to a public trust system most don't realize exists. "You're using it every day," Don explains, revealing how our labor provides the value that funds public trusts established through legislation. "Private creates public. Private family businesses create corporate America," he states, highlighting how government entities are ultimately controlled by private interests operating behind the scenes.Drawing from street wisdom and legal knowledge, Don challenges listeners to recognize their position as trustees rather than beneficiaries in this system. He breaks down why the "government name" concept matters, explaining that in America, "you can do business as whoever you want," yet most people never exercise this right because they don't understand trust law or contract law. This discussion previews themes from his forthcoming book "United States of Pimping," which bridges street culture insights with corporate realities.Ready to transform your understanding of sovereignty and reclaim your private life?

The IRS recently decided that it's perfectly fine for churches and other houses of worship to endorse candidates, upending 70 years of established law. It's just one of the ways the Christian right and the Republican Party have successfully demolished the separation of church and state, which we used to think was a central pillar of the American political system. Paul discusses the carnage with Sarah Posner, author of Unholy: How White Christian Nationalists Powered the Trump Presidency, and the Devastating Legacy They Left Behind.
Send us fan responses! The journey toward legal sovereignty begins with a profound realization – your name is not you. In this eye-opening conversation, Don Kilam walks through the practical steps of separating your natural person from the corporate entity that bears your name, revealing how this fundamental distinction can shield you from overreaching legal jurisdiction.At the heart of status correction lies a powerful strategy: converting your name into a business entity. "My basic status correction is making your name a business," Don explains, demonstrating how this approach creates a buffer between your living self and the legal realm. When your name operates as an LLC or unincorporated association, you position yourself as the administrator rather than subjecting your natural person to courts that lack legitimate jurisdiction over living beings.The discussion unveils how the current legal system has inverted natural authority. Families once created governments, not the other way around. Don showcases how establishing proper documentation through "Family Bibles" (essentially meeting minutes for your family) restores this natural order. These private records establish your identity outside government-issued birth certificates, which create what Don calls a "civil death" – rendering you property in the eyes of administrative courts.Perhaps most revealing is Don's breakdown of ecclesiastical jurisdiction. Courts operate under canon law (explaining why judges wear robes similar to religious figures), and attorneys hold bar cards representing membership in private associations rather than actual licenses to practice law. "There is no such thing as a license to practice law," Don emphasizes, exposing why attorneys can only represent property, not living people.Through real examples, including dismissed child support cases and courtroom victories, Don demonstrates these principles in action. He shares practical affidavit templates, status correction resources, and strategies for navigating confrontations with a system designed to confuse your identity with a corporate entity.Ready to reclaim your natural personhood and understand the true boundaries of legal jurisdiction? This conversation offers the roadmap and tools to begin your journey toward sovereignty.In "United States Of Pimpin'," Don Kilam shares his perceptions from his street culture to explain the corporate world in a way that may feel uncomfortable yet brutally honest.

In this important body of theology, key writings from the Chinese house church movement have been compiled, translated, and made accessible to English speakers. The documents in Faithful Disobedience: Writings on Church and State from a Chinese House Church Movement (IVP Academic, 2022) give readers an inside look at how the unregistered churches of China have endured despite government pressure and cultural marginalization. Wang Yi, the primary writer, is the pastor of a house church in Chengdu, China. He is currently serving a nine-year prison sentence for refusing to comply with People's Republic of China (PRC) regulations regarding church registration. There are also works by prominent voices such as Jin Tianming, Jin Mingri, and Sun Yi. In our conversation, editor Hannah Nation proves to be an engaging and appreciative guide to these leaders' theological, political and pastoral perspectives which are both uniquely Chinese and rooted in the historical doctrines of the Christian faith. Dave Broucek is a lifelong student of and participant in the global mission of the church. He values research into the lesser-understood aspects of mission (singular) and missions (plural) as well as scholarship that addresses the big questions of mission theory and practice.

Send us fan responses! Are you operating as a sovereign individual or unwittingly functioning as government property? The answer lies in understanding the critical difference between nationality and citizenship—a distinction that fundamentally changes how you interact with the economic and legal systems surrounding you.Don Kilam delivers a powerful breakdown of how Americans have been systematically placed under government control through elaborate legal structures most never question. He reveals the stark contrast between informed families who understand their inherent rights as nationals and uninformed families who operate solely as citizens within the public sector."When you're getting public housing, public assistance—if you're getting these things, you're a product of the government. The government owns you," Kilam explains with remarkable clarity. This ownership extends through your Social Security Trust, which actually funds an astonishing $24 trillion of the United States national debt. Every time you use your Social Security number, you subject yourself to countless taxes—even after death through estate taxes, which Kalam describes as "literally a tax on your right to transfer property when you die."The solution? Private family business trusts. Kalam breaks down how these legal entities provide protection from courts and creditors while establishing proper structures for wealth preservation. He distinguishes between legal title (your right to use assets) and equitable title (true ownership), explaining how most Americans only experience "beneficiary use" of their possessions rather than genuine ownership.What makes this knowledge so powerful is its practical application. Rather than merely identifying problems, Kilam provides actionable strategies for establishing private family business trusts that legitimately protect your assets and minimize unnecessary taxation. As he emphasizes throughout, "prosperity is your divine birthright"—but claiming that birthright requires understanding the system and positioning yourself to operate within the private sector.Ready to reclaim your financial sovereignty?

LTC Lee Robinson, USA, director of the U.S. Military Academy's American Politics Program and an academy professor in the Department of Social Sciences, joins the podcast to address questions like this. Hailing from Georgia and having graduated from West Point in 2000, Lee now teaches and researches topics like civil-military relations and organizational leadership. In this episode, Lee shares about the cadet ministry that takes place through USMA OCF, led by Field Staff Bob & Tracy Phillips, then dives into complex topics ranging from balancing personal and professional choices to studying the United States' historical approach to religion. If you would like to share your own story, complete the form on OCF's “Be a Guest” webpage. Alternatively, if you have an idea for a guest or topic we should consider for a future episode of the show, send an email to podcast@ocfusa.org. https://www.ocfusa.org/podcastguest/ POINTS TO PONDER As you listen to this conversation with Lee, here are a few questions to ponder in your personal time, with a small group, or with a mentor: Why is it important to understand the historical context of the First Amendment? How does the vague language of the First Amendment impact us today? As you listen to Lee's example of the company commander with the cross on his desk, how would you respond if you were in Lee's position? How do you think you balance your private and public personas? What do you learn from Jesus' example of rejecting political power? “In essentials unity, in non-essentials liberty, in all things charity.” How does this quote from seventeenth-century German Lutheran theologian Rupertus Meldenius tie into today's conversation? In what ways can your life be an example of the gospel and the work of Christ? What Scriptures shape your leadership philosophy, even in ways that might be subtle to the non-believer? Where's the line between encouraging religion and morality and compelling it? What can we learn from the Founding Fathers as they faced tension and disagreement regarding the government's approach to religion? Lee explains that "liberty is freedom to follow laws and freedom of conscience." What are your thoughts on this definition? Why is it important to understand not only what the Constitution says but also why it says what it does?
Last month, President Donald Trump openly questioned the separation of church and state during the establishment of the Presidential Commission on Religious Liberty. He said that he is bringing religion back to the country.We continue our "If You Can Keep It" series by assessing the boundaries of the separation between religion and the government.Want to support 1A?
