Is it wrong to judge others? Jesus said, “Judge not that you be not judged” (Mt. 7:1). Did the Savior mean we should never offer an opinion challenging the doctrine or lifestyle choices of someone else? Or is the correct interpretation much different? You may be surprised at the answers.Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org The Catholic Project website: www.toCatholicswithlove.org Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.

If you are “in Christ,” the “automatic download” you receive is out of this world (literally). Key biblical phrases like “in Him,” “in Christ,” and “in the Lord” indicate the benefits you receive the moment you become a child of God under the Lordship of Jesus. Ephesians 1:11 declares “in Him we have obtained an inheritance.” But you can't partake of an inheritance until you are aware of it. Let's lay claim to it today together and start living a more victorious life!Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net The “Catholic Project” website: www.toCatholicswithlove.org Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.

Even though it's undeniably...aesthetic-challenged, the naked mole-rat is the envy of the longevity world. Its risk of death barely changes with time; it shrugs off cancer, stays fertile for decades and seems to skip every hallmark of aging that hobbles the rest of us.But why? What evolutionary forces gave a mouse-sized, subterranean rodent near-immunity to aging - and what can its biology teach us about extending healthy human life?Comparative biologist Prof. Rochelle Buffenstein (University of Illinois Chicago) - who has maintained the world's largest captive colonies and authored 200+ papers - joins LEVITY to dissect the evidence.In this episode✅ Rochelle's journey: from Zimbabwe farm kid to the pre-eminent naked mole-rat researcher.✅ Eusocial society: queens, worker castes and lethal succession battles.✅ No Gompertz slope: hard numbers that show mortality risk stays essentially flat for 40 years.✅ Cancer resistance → high-molecular-weight hyaluronan, unusual immune cell profiles.✅ Telomere maintenance and DNA-methylation reversal.✅ Proteostasis on easy-mode: slow translation, durable proteins, super-charged autophagy.✅ What actually kills a mole-rat?✅ Translational angles: small-molecule screens, CRISPR edits, and why funding is still an uphill battle.✅ Other long-lived species worth studying - and how young scientists can break into comparative gerontology.

Today on Speaking Out of Place we have a special episode on the war in Iran. Scholars and activists Persis Karim and Manijeh Moradian discuss both the Iranian national issues involved as well as the regional context, connecting this war with the genocide in Gaza and Israel's extensive wars elsewhere. At stake is both Iranian sovereignty and the calls for so-called “regime change.” We question the use of that term, delve into how the struggle for liberation in Iran rejects both the repressive Islamic state and the US/Israeli war machine.  Our discussion draws the frightening parallels between Iran's stifling of dissent and imprisonment of political enemies and others with our own government's.  Finally, we recall the Woman, Life, Freedom movement and build hope for international solidarity with groups working for liberation in Iran, Palestine, and elsewhere, and insist liberation will never be achieved by dropping bombs.                Persis Karim teaches in the Department of Humanities and Comparative and World Literature at San Francisco State University. She was the creator and director of the Center for Iranian Diaspora Studies during its entire existence there. Since 1999, she has been actively working to expand the field of Iranian Diaspora Studies, beginning with the first anthology of Iranian writing she co-edited, A World Between: Poems, Short Stories and Essays by Iranian-Americans. She is the editor of two other anthologies of Iranian diaspora literature: Let Me Tell You Where I've Been: New Writing by Women of the Iranian Diaspora, and Tremors: New Fiction by Iranian-American Writers. Before coming to San Francisco State, she was a professor of English & Comparative Literature at San Jose State where she was the founder and director of the Persian Studies program, and coordinator of the Middle East Studies Minor. She has published numerous articles about Iranian diaspora literature and culture for academic publications including Iranian Studies, Comparative Studies of South Asian, African and Middle East Studies (CSSAMES), and MELUS: Multi-Ethnic Literatures of the United States. “The Dawn is Too Far: Stories of Iranian-American Life,” is her first film project (co-directed and co-produced with Soumyaa Behrens). She received her Master's in Middle East Studies and her Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from UT Austin. She is also a poet.Manijeh Moradian is assistant professor of Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies at Barnard College, Columbia University. Her book, This Flame Within: Iranian Revolutionaries in the United States, was published by Duke University Press in December 2022.  She has published widely including in American Quarterly, Journal of Asian American Studies, Scholar & Feminist online, and Women's Studies Quarterly. She is a founding member of the Raha Iranian Feminist Collective and on the editorial board of the Jadaliyya.com Iran Page.

Universal reconciliation is the concept that everything will ultimately be reconciled to God. The Scripture declares “the mystery” of God's will is to finally “gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth”? (Eph. 1:9-10) Does that mean literally everything, including all sinners, even Satan himself and all his fallen angels, will finally be restored to a right relationship with God? This is a challenging and controversial subject that needs to be examined.Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org The Catholic Project website: www.toCatholicswithlove.org Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.

Menopause isn't a medical condition requiring endurance—it's a physiological transition that responds to intervention. While the diagnostic criteria demand 12 consecutive months of amenorrhea, waiting a full year to address debilitating symptoms defies clinical logic. When patients present with vasomotor symptoms, mood dysregulation, and menstrual irregularities, laboratory evaluation can provide diagnostic clarity before the arbitrary 12-month mark. The key is recognizing that symptom management doesn't require a completed diagnostic checklist. This episode dissects the diagnostic approach to menopause, examines the cultural mythology that keeps women suffering unnecessarily, and provides evidence-based perspectives on hormone replacement therapy. We'll explore the actual risk-benefit profile of HRT, the cardiovascular and skeletal implications of hormone deficiency, and why decades of misinterpreted data have created widespread HRT phobia. Because apparently, we needed a Women's Health Initiative study to convince everyone that horse urine hormones aren't ideal for human women. Episode Highlights: Clinical definitions and diagnostic nuances of perimenopause versus menopause Laboratory markers and symptom patterns that inform menopause diagnosis The overlooked significance of testosterone assessment in menopausal women How societal expectations perpetuate the "suffer in silence" mentality Deconstructing the HRT fear-mongering that followed flawed research interpretations Evidence-based rebuttal to the estradiol-breast cancer causation myth Comprehensive approach to symptom assessment and therapeutic options Risk-benefit analysis of bioidentical estradiol and progesterone therapy Comparative evaluation of progesterone and estrogen delivery methods Clinical consequences of testosterone deficiency in women Pre-treatment evaluation and contraindications for HRT initiation Role of genetic testing in personalizing hormone replacement protocols Distinguishing natural menopause from surgical menopause management strategies Episode Resources: Dr. Shawn Tassone's Practice | https://www.drshawntassone.com Dr. Shawn Tassone's Book | The Hormone Balance Bible Dr. Shawn Tassone's Integrative Hormonal Mapping System | Hormone Archetype Quiz Thank you to our sponsor, Purality Health! The question isn't which supplements to take—it's whether your body can absorb them. Most traditional supplements fall victim to stomach acid before delivering benefits. Purality Health's micelle liposomal technology creates a double-layer protective system that shields nutrients from stomach acid destruction while facilitating direct bloodstream absorption—making supplements up to 800% more effective.

Do we cease to exist when we die? Or does the soul live on? Is there only one life or thousands of incarnations by which the soul evolves to perfection? When human beings die, does the soul sleep in the grave with the body or does it ascend to a paradise world? These are questions that beg to be answered.

Contributor: Alec Coston, MD Educational Pearls: For patients presenting to the emergency room with hypertension, clinicians should determine if it is isolated and uncomplicated, or involves comorbidities with more complex underlying pathophysiology.  For uncomplicated and isolated hypertension, first-line treatment is thiazide diuretics.  How do thiazide diuretics work to treat hypertension? Thiazide diuretics work by blocking sodium and chloride resorption in the kidneys.  “Where sodium goes, water follows,” thus promoting diuresis and lowering blood pressure. Examples of thiazide diuretics and their benefits? Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ): First-line medication in uncomplicated and chronic hypertensive states. Cheaper and fewer significant adverse effects compared to chlorthalidone. HCTZ can be associated with decreased risk of stroke and myocardial infarction. However, for more complicated hypertension, especially in the setting of heart failure, Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitors should be considered.  How do ACE Inhibitors manage blood pressure? The body's kidneys drive the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone-System (RAAS) to regulate blood pressure. It is easiest to understand RAAS as being pro-hypertensive as a response to decreased renal perfusion. As renal perfusion decreases, renin is released and activates angiotensin I, which is converted by ACE to Angiotensin II, which causes release of aldosterone. ACE Inhibitors prevent the conversion of Angiotensin I to Angiotensin II, thus decreasing the kidneys' production of Angiotensin II and Aldosterone levels. Why, in the context of heart failure, are ACE Inhibitors preferred? In heart failure, especially left-sided or left-ventricular heart failure, a vicious cycle can develop wherein the left ventricle fails to perfuse the kidneys due to over-dilation. The kidneys are hypoperfused and activate RAAS to try to retain volume and increase peripheral vasoconstriction, promoting renal perfusion. The increase in blood pressure puts further strain on the heart, thereby further decreasing cardiac output. The cycle develops, and extremely elevated blood pressures can develop. ACE Inhibitors can directly block this cycle, hence their preference in heart failure. Big takeaway? In uncomplicated hypertensive patients, consider thiazide diuretics. When comorbidities, especially heart failure, are introduced, then consider ACE Inhibitors. References Carey RM, Moran AE, Whelton PK. Treatment of Hypertension: A Review.

In this episode of the Review of Democracy podcast, Alexandra Medzibrodszky talks to Leigh Jenco and Paulina Ochoa Espejo—two of the three co-authors of the new textbook Political Theory: A Global and Comparative Introduction, published by SAGE. Co-authored with Murad Idris, this groundbreaking volume reimagines how political theory is taught and understood by moving beyond a Eurocentric focus and embracing a truly global and comparative framework. Rather than organizing content around geographical regions or national traditions, the book takes a thematic approach—exploring war, political action, development, ritual, and other enduring political questions through a rich array of sources from across cultures and time periods. In the conversation, we discuss what it means to think politically beyond the Western canon, how to work with texts that are often marginalized or excluded from mainstream syllabi, and what challenges arise when dealing with disciplinary boundaries. We also reflect on the pedagogical value of open-ended inquiry and the democratic potential of teaching political theory as a space for students to ask the questions that matter most to them. As Leigh and Paulina explain, the aim is not to simply add more voices, but to shift the structure of the conversation itself—to replace a single sun with a galaxy of perspectives. Ultimately, the book opens up new ways of thinking about politics and democracy itself—its possibilities, its limits, and the many ways it has been imagined around the world.

Did you know there are more Sabbaths mentioned in the Bible than just the seventh day of the week? Did you know all Sabbaths are described as a “shadow of good things to come” (Hebrews 10:1). What are those “good things” that make up the superior “substance” (the most important, valuable, and enduring truths symbolically foreshadowed)?

Is Saturday or Sunday the proper day of the week for Christians to gather in worship? The controversy has swirled around this issue from the early days of the Church. What is the correct Sabbath?

Billions of people in various religions sincerely worship God, but not all of it is acceptable or receivable to Him. Jesus explained that “true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth.” This dual requirement is so essential that the Savior added, “The Father is seeking such to worship Him” (John 4:23).

The Feast of Pentecost is the fourth of the seven “Feasts of the Lord” mentioned in the Bible. Every one of the feasts is both historical and prophetical. Each one commemorated something powerful God did for Israel in the past, under the Old Covenant, while revealing something powerful He would yet do for the Church in the New Covenant. You will see the genius of God on display by connecting the dots between these two phases of His plan.Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org The Catholic Project website: www.toCatholicswithlove.org Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.

In this episode of "Are We All Clear? Facilitating Security Clearances," host Marina O'Brien talks with Robert A. Friedman, co-head of Holland & Knight's International Trade practice and a leader of the firm's National Security & Defense Industry Group, about intelligence community (IC) security clearances. They discuss how IC clearances differ from the processes used by the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) and Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA), highlighting that IC clearances are contract-specific, often less prescriptive and can vary depending on the assigned contracting officer. In addition, both use similar documentation and focus heavily on foreign ownership, control or influence (FOCI) analysis, but IC tends to be more cautious with foreign investors outside U.S. allies. Mr. Friedman recommends companies be as transparent as possible and seek legal counsel when filling out clearance applications and also reminds the listeners that there is a newly updated SF-328 form that requires more detailed information and diligence in the clearance process.

With an international background and love of languages, Professor Shawkat M. Toorawa decided to study intensive Arabic with the encouragement of a highly influential advisor at the University of Pennsylvania, which set him on a path to becoming a professor of Arabic literature, Comparative literature and Chair of the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations at Yale University. In this episode, Professor Toorawa reflects on the journey, which was admittedly not linear, with stops in medieval French literature, modern British poetry, and even U.S. history along the way. Professor Toorawa also discusses "The dr T projecT," a regular drop-in session for students to learn about items of cultural interest — from music to literature — to aid in his lessons.

Ancient altars provided a connecting link between God and His people, facilitating powerful visitations, rich revelations, and miraculous manifestations. Abundant proof can be found in Scripture where major expressions of supernatural power accompanied altar worship for Able, Noah, Abraham and others. Joel 1:13 refers to priests in the Old Testament as ministers of the altar. All who qualify as priests in the New Testament now bear this title. Our altar is much different, but it is still a primary key in connecting with God.Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net The “Catholic Project” website: www.toCatholicswithlove.org Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.Get Mike Shreve's book revealing the spiritual identity of the sons and daughters of God: WHO AM I?

Summary In this episode of Armed American Radio, host Mark Walters engages with Dr. John Lott to discuss the complexities of gun violence in America, the myths surrounding gun control, and the importance of self-defense. They dissect a Time magazine piece by Jens Ludwig, highlighting the inaccuracies in claims about America's unique gun violence problem. The conversation also touches on the role of guns in self-defense, the impact of gun control laws on crime rates, and the effectiveness of civilians in stopping active shooters compared to police. The episode emphasizes the need for a nuanced understanding of gun ownership and crime statistics. Takeaways Gun violence is often misrepresented in media and research. Self-defense benefits from gun ownership are significant. Most murders are committed by individuals with violent histories. Gun control laws do not necessarily lead to lower crime rates. Civilians can effectively stop active shooters, often more so than police. The broken windows theory is essential for crime prevention. Comparative crime statistics can be misleading without context. Gun ownership rates do not correlate directly with murder rates. Political agendas often skew the discussion on gun control. Understanding the root causes of crime requires a multifaceted approach. gun control, self-defense, crime rates, John Lott, Jens Ludwig, Armed American Radio, gun violence, Second Amendment, active shooters, crime research  

After the 10 Commandments were given on Mount Sinai, God gave the design for building an altar, enabling Israelites to approach Him for repentance and consecration. The details contain hidden symbolism concerning profound New Testament realities. In the Old Testament, priests were called “ministers of the altar” (Joel 1:13). New Testament believers have inherited this status also, but on a higher level.

“The Book of Life” is a concept only found in Judaism and Christianity. David claimed that God keeps a record of every tear we shed in His “book” (Psalms 56:8).
