LW1496 - When do you own a photograph? Do you own a piece of music because you purchased the CD, or do you own it when you have memorized the tune? Do you own a novel because you purchased the book or because you read it? Do you own a photograph when you've purchased the original print? Or do you own a photograph when it becomes so familiar that it's part of your mental gallery? Thought about another way, do you own a photograph because of the physicality of the print, or is it more important that the image is treasured in a corner of your soul?

Washington, District of ColumbiaMarch 7, 1850Daniel Webster — the most celebrated orator in American history — rose in a packed Senate chamber to deliver the speech that would save the Union and destroy his reputation. With the nation tearing itself apart over slavery, and a dying John C. Calhoun having just issued an ultimatum for Southern secession three days earlier, Webster endorsed Henry Clay's Compromise of 1850 in its entirety, including the despised Fugitive Slave Law. The speech bought the country a decade of peace. It also turned Webster from "Godlike Daniel" into a pariah overnight. Emerson compared him to a courtesan. Whittier wrote his poetic obituary while he was still breathing. Not a single New England colleague would publicly support him. Was it the greatest act of political courage in Senate history, or the most consequential moral surrender? The answer depends on which side of the Fugitive Slave Law you were standing on.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-historian--2909311/support.You can pay more if you want to, but rent at the Safe House is still just a buck a week, and you can get access to over 400 ad-free episodes from the dusty vault, Safe House Exclusives, direct access to the Boss, and whatever personal services you require.We invite you to our other PULPULAR MEDIA podcasts:If disaster is more your jam, check out CATASTROPHIC CALAMITIES, telling the stories of famous and forgotten tragedies of the 19th and 20th centuries.

How do we know what we will compromise on and when in relationships? This is a question this answered more on a case-by-case basis then through a one size fits all approach. In this episode, we are going to examine the 25% rule when it comes to making compromises in relationships. We must distinguish between a compromise and a sacrifice. A compromise is an agreement where expectations are set as a result. A sacrifice is something that may not be agreed upon and therefore the expectations aren't set. Compromises are set in the soft boundaries on the outer core of the hard boundaries, morals, standards, and values. This is the most flexible of all categories and therefore the soft boundaries must be respected in order to avoid the ruination of other characteristics that may become impacted by insecurities, addictions, and other threats by a potential partner. We discuss this phenomenon to have a better perspective on how to deal with compromise and avoid threats.

Fast wins create long regrets. In today's episode, Kevin and Alan challenge the idea that success is just about results. Opportunity rarely shows you the full cost up front. Shortcuts feel smart in the moment. Compromise can even look responsible. But over time, those small decisions shape your character more than your bank account. This episode takes a hard look at integrity, standards, and the discipline required to build success you can actually stand behind.If you care about leadership, personal growth, and long-term fulfillment, this conversation will sharpen how you define winning and what you refuse to trade for it. Chase whatever level you want. Just make sure you recognize the person in the mirror when you get there._______________________Learn more about:Track the Work. Earn the Results.

LW1495 - Ten Lesser-Known Masters You Should Study Have you heard me talk about the "airport test?" Name for me 10 famous painters, 10 musicians, 10 novelists. I'll bet you can. Ask 100 people at random at the airport to name 10 fine art photographers. Everybody is familiar with Ansel Adams, and a few might know of Edward Weston. Here are 10 lesser known masters of photography you should study precisely because they brought something to photography that has made a greater impact than their reputation would indicate.

We're so glad you are here! Thanks for checking out Sunday's message!-- SUNDAY'S NOTES --Our Father in heaven, honored be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Matthew 6:9-10 CSB! He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son. Colossians 1:13 ESV Fear the LORD and serve him wholeheartedly. Put away forever the idols your ancestors worshiped when they lived beyond the Euphrates River and in Egypt. Serve the LORD alone. But if you refuse to serve the LORD, then choose today whom you will serve. Would you prefer the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates? Or will it be the gods of the Amorites in whose land you now live? But as for me and my family, we will serve the LORD.” Joshua 24:14-15 NLT A decision to live in the Kingdom of God is a decision to reject the kingdom of this world.Don't love the world's ways. Don't love the world's goods. Love of the world squeezes out love for the Father. Practically everything that goes on in the world, wanting your own way, wanting everything for yourself, wanting to appear important, has nothing to do with the Father. It just isolates you from him. The world and all its wanting, wanting, wanting is on the way out, but whoever does what God says is set for eternity. 1 John 2:15-17 MSGDarkness, more than immoral behavior, is living under the influence of the wrong king, culture, and kingdom.Jesus used this illustration: “The Kingdom of Heaven is like the leaven a woman used in making bread. Even though she put only a little yeast in three measures of flour, it permeated every part of the dough.” Matthew 13:33 NLT`Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees. Luke 12:3 ESVAs it relates to which kingdom we're living in and are influenced by, small choices make a huge impact.Rebellion always starts with seemingly insignificant compromise!You were running well. Who prevented you from being persuaded regarding the truth? This persuasion does not come from the one who calls you. A little leaven leavens the whole batch of dough. Galatians 5:7-9 CSBCompromise has a compounding negative impact on our spiritual well-being and destinyGod's remedy for rebellion is repentance which then leads to redemption and restoration! I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. - All glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Ephesians 3:16-17 & 20 NLTOur amazing Messiah came to multiply every obedient choice we make for our good and His glory.Surrender your life, including your time, talent and treasure wholeheartedly to the God one choice at a time. The Kingdom of Heaven is like the leaven a woman used in making bread. Even though she put only a little yeast in three measures of flour, it permeated every part of the dough.” Matthew 13:33 NLTThe impact of living in God's Kingdom will permeate everything about who we are and how we live. -------------------------------------------------Download the 828 Church app!To view our latest e-newsletter, the Midweek Momentum, and subscribe to our weekly updates, go here! https://linktr.ee/828church

Love isn't just chemistry—it's communication, polarity, self-worth, and the courage to show up authentically. In this deeply insightful and empowering conversation, Dr. Anna Cabeca sits down with world-renowned dating and relationship expert Mat Boggs, bestselling author of Project Everlasting and his newest book, Cracking the Man Code, to uncover the real dynamics behind attraction, commitment, and lasting intimacy. Together, they explore what truly makes a man fall in love—and what makes love last. Whether you're navigating midlife dating, healing after heartbreak, or rekindling passion in a long-term relationship, this episode will transform how you understand masculine and feminine energy, emotional connection, and your own magnetic power. Dr. Anna brings her expertise in hormones, oxytocin, and female physiology to the conversation—revealing how our biology, nervous system, and self-worth shape our relationships more than we realize. You'll learn how to communicate your needs without losing your independence, stop over-functioning in masculine energy, and step into your feminine strength in a way that inspires devotion, partnership, and emotional safety. This is a must-listen episode for any woman ready to attract—or reignite—a passionate, deeply connected relationship. What You'll Learn in This Episode ● Why masculine and feminine polarity drives attraction—and how to use it consciously ● How over-functioning in masculine energy can unintentionally repel the partner you desire ● The surprising hormonal and emotional effects of intimacy before commitment ● How oxytocin, dopamine, and bonding hormones shape attachment ● The difference between chasing and inviting pursuit ● Why friendship and shared adventure are essential for lifelong passion ● How to communicate your needs in a way that deepens connection instead of creating conflict ● The foundational role of self-love in becoming magnetic ● Daily practices to increase self-worth, confidence, and relational success Why This Matters—Especially in Midlife As women step into midlife, many have spent decades leading—in careers, families, and businesses. But this leadership strength can sometimes make it difficult to shift into receptive feminine energy in relationships. Dr. Anna and Mat explore how to create balance without sacrificing independence—and how understanding your biology, nervous system, and emotional patterns can help you attract the love you truly deserve. Because thriving relationships aren't about losing power. They're about aligning with your authentic energy. Memorable Quotes "Femininity is not passive, submissive, or weak. It is proactive, powerful, and magnetic." — Mat Boggs "Half of manifesting your partner faster is getting rid of the wrong partners sooner." — Mat Boggs "Partnership doesn't start outside of you. It starts with loving yourself first." — Dr. Anna Cabeca Key Timestamps [00:00:00] Introduction. [00:03:09] Lifelong love and relationships. [00:06:00] Ego and love in relationships.

Infidelity is one of the most talked-about — and least honestly discussed — parts of modern relationships. In this episode of Dating Intelligence, I sit down with author Teresa J. Conway, who shares her personal journey into the world of affairs and what she's learned from years inside it. We explore the psychology behind cheating, the emotional needs people often struggle to admit, and why relationships rarely fail for the reasons couples think they do. We also discuss Ashley Madison, online secrecy, communication breakdowns, and the spectrum between emotional and physical betrayal. Rather than sensationalizing the topic, this conversation looks at infidelity as a human behavior — one tied to desire, avoidance, attachment, and unmet needs. Whether you're single, dating, married, or recovering from betrayal, this episode will challenge assumptions and give you a deeper understanding of relationship dynamics most people never openly talk about. This is not about encouraging cheating — it's about understanding why it happens.

2 Chronicles 14–18 traces a powerful spiritual journey through the reigns of Asa and Jehoshaphat. It begins with Asa's wholehearted trust in God, bringing peace, victory, and national renewal. But over time, Asa shifts from dependence on the Lord to reliance on human alliances, ending his story with spiritual decline. The narrative then follows Jehoshaphat, who seeks God, strengthens the nation through teaching and reform, yet stumbles by forming a dangerous alliance with Ahab. Through victories, revivals, and warnings, these chapters reveal a timeless truth: trusting God brings strength and peace, but compromise with ungodly counsel leads to trouble. God is always looking for hearts fully devoted to Him.

LW1494 - An Annual Series In 2007 I conceived a long-term project that I still believe in. I decided I would do an annual project consisting of five images each year whose subject would always be winter trees. (This was before Seeing in Sixes) This started off as an annual folio project but quickly expanded to an accompanying PDF version. For reasons I can't quite pin down. I did an annual five-image project for 7 years in a row and then stopped. I shouldn't have. In fact, I'm thinking of restarting this annual series. The reasons for continuing this project are still valid and have overwhelmed my lethargy.

What happens when you feel outside pressure to make work that doesn't feel like you? In this episode, Kat sits down with Philadelphia-based artist and curator Jessica Libor for a deeply honest conversation about identity, persistence, and building a creative life on your own terms. Jessica shares the story of applying to the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts several times before getting in, navigating the tension between her love of fairy tales and beautiful imagery and an academic environment heavily influenced by postmodern aesthetics. She opens up about making dark, tortured paintings to fit in - and how she eventually found her way back to the work she was always meant to make. They also dig into how Jessica launched Era Contemporary, her own gallery and curatorial project, and why creating your own opportunities is sometimes the most powerful move an artist can make. You'll also hear about the mindset tools Jessica swears by - from attending high-end exhibitions and imagining yourself in the room as an exhibiting artist, to journaling and scripting her ideal creative life. She also shares the manifestation story behind getting into Spring Break Art Fair, one of New York's most exciting independent art events. This episode is full of honest reflection on imposter syndrome, developing a personal aesthetic under pressure, and what it really means to stay connected to your North Star as an artist. ABOUT JESSICA LIBOR Jessica Libor is a Philadelphia-based artist whose work explores feminine identity, storytelling, and personal mythology through a lens deeply rooted in global fairy tales and folklore.

Revelation 2:18-29 (Don't Compromise) - Jaime Borchik by Park Community Church
Looking for great fantasy & historical fiction for Middle Grades and YA readers that won't constantly clash with Christian beliefs and values?After several recent episodes focused on adult readers, many of you asked for something specifically for kids and teens — books that are imaginative, adventurous, beautifully written… and either explicitly Christian or comfortably aligned with a Christian worldview. So in this episode, I build a starter shelf for families, youth leaders, teachers, and young readers themselves.We cover:• Middle Grades (explicitly Christian SFF + Christian-friendly classics)• Young Adult (explicitly Christian + secular works with strong moral foundations)• Stories that emphasize courage, sacrifice, redemption, humility, loyalty, and hopeIf you're building a home library — or just looking for your next great read — this one's for you.
Judges – Session 6 | Strength from God, Failure through Compromise, and Restoration through Repentance This session centers on Judges chapters 14–16, exploring the life of Samson — a man chosen by God, empowered by the Spirit, yet vulnerable to compromise and temptation. The message opens by emphasizing Samson's unique calling. His birth was foretold by God, and he was set apart as a Nazarite from birth. Unlike other judges, Samson often fought alone, relying directly on the power of the Holy Spirit rather than armies — a picture pointing forward to Christ, who would accomplish salvation alone. As Samson begins his conflict with the Philistines, God uses unexpected circumstances — including Samson's marriage, the lion encounter, and the riddle at the wedding feast — to stir confrontation with Israel's enemies. Repeatedly, the Spirit of the Lord comes upon Samson, enabling supernatural victories that could never be achieved by human strength. Yet alongside divine power runs human weakness. Samson continually places himself in dangerous situations, forming relationships that draw him closer to temptation. His involvement with Delilah becomes the clearest picture of how compromise works slowly — one small step at a time — until spiritual strength is drained away. One of the most sobering moments in Scripture is highlighted: Samson does not realize that the Spirit of the Lord has departed from him. This reveals the danger of persistent disobedience — a gradual drifting from God that can happen without immediate awareness. Despite Samson's fall, God's mercy is not finished with him. As his hair begins to grow again, it symbolizes repentance, renewal, and restored relationship. In his blindness and suffering, Samson finally cries out to God with complete dependence. In his final act, Samson brings greater defeat to Israel's enemies in his death than in his entire life — powerfully foreshadowing Christ, who destroyed Satan's power fully through His sacrifice on the cross. The session concludes with hope: God does not discard flawed people. Though sin carries consequences, repentance opens the door to restoration. Even after failure, God can still use a surrendered life for His glory. Key Takeaway True strength comes from God alone. Compromise weakens spiritual power, but repentance restores it — and God's mercy is always greater than human failure.
What happens when a church is full of love, but unwilling to say “no”? We'll examine Jesus' sobering warning to Thyatira, a vibrant and compassionate church that drifted into dangerous compromise. Discover why real love requires discernment, why repentance is more than regret, and how holding fast to Christ is the only path to lasting life.We'll approach this in three movements:1) The pathology of permissiveness2) The prognosis of permissiveness3) The prescription for permissivenessText: Revelation 2:18-29
Message by Pastor Stacey ShiflettText: Proverbs 22February 22, 2026 - 11AM
The church in Pergamum had lost its edge, so Jesus brought His sword to church. In this message, Lead Pastor Jamie Nunnally continues the sermon series on the letters of Revelation.Pergamum, the Roman capital of Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey), faced intense pressure to worship Caesar and was filled with temples to false gods.Revelation 2:12 (NLT): This is the message to Pergamum from the one with the sharp two-edged sword...Hebrews 4:12 (NLT): The word of God is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword...The word of God has two edges: comfort and correction—one delivers, the other disciples.Revelation 2:13 (NLT): I know that you live where Satan has his throne.Pergamum was saturated with idolatry.Revelation 2:14–15 (NLT): You tolerate teaching like Balaam and the Nicolaitans—the doctrine that sin is no big deal.Jesus confronts their compromise with sexual immorality and idolatry.Revelation 2:16 (NLT):God wants to fight for you, but if you play for the other team, He will fight against you. Refuse His correction, and you will face sin's consequences.Revelation 2:17 (NLT):The promises: manna—provision now and in the life to come—and a white stone with a new name. A white stone meant "not guilty" and was a token of admission.Timeless Truths1. Where you live shouldn't affect how you live.Philippians 3:20 (ESV): Our citizenship is in heaven.You live here, but obey there—address here, allegiance there.James 4:4 (NLT):Be friends to the world, not of it. A friend OF the world imitates it; a friend TO the world calls people out of it.You can't be like the world and help it. Boats belong in the water, but water doesn't belong in the boat. You're in the world; it shouldn't be in you.2. Jesus gives freedom from sin, not freedom to sin.Grace empowers you to meet the standard.Compromise treats forgiveness as a reset instead of transformation.God's forgiveness gives freedom to say no.Titus 2:11–12 (NLT):Live with wisdom, righteousness, and devotion. Grace gives power over sin, not permission for it.3. Change comes from repentance, not remorse.Remorse feels; repentance acts. Remorse looks back; repentance moves forward.2 Corinthians 7:10 (NLT):Worldly sorrow repeats the pattern; godly sorrow produces change.God's word is a sword—it cuts to heal, not humiliate. Repentance isn't "I'm sorry," but "I surrender."4. God's promise is greater than your compromise.God's grace outruns our failures.2 Timothy 2:13 (NLT): If we are unfaithful, He remains faithful.Your failure isn't final. God warns to welcome, not write you off—He writes a new name on a white stone.ClosingCompromise is a destructive fire—ignored, it spreads and consumes.Though compromise destroys, Jesus restores. He calls us to repent, not to shame us, but to save us.What compromise is God asking you to deal with today?
From acclaimed historian and author of the “marvelous” (The New York Times Book Review) The Last American Aristocrat comes a captivating new biography of Teddy Roosevelt, exploring the life of America's 26th president and his pivotal role in shaping the dawn of the American Century.Theodore Roosevelt was one of America's most fascinating presidents—a complex man both publicly and privately. In this sweeping biography, historian David S. Brown takes us on an electrifying journey through Theodore Roosevelt's life—from his privileged New York upbringing to his transformative presidency that reshaped America's role on the global stage.In the Arena vividly brings Roosevelt to life as a man of striking contradictions: a rugged outdoorsman with a love for books, a war hero who earned a Nobel Peace Prize, and a larger-than-life figure whose energy seemed boundless. Through compelling storytelling and meticulous research, Brown explores the pivotal moments that forged Roosevelt's indomitable spirit, from battling childhood asthma to witnessing the deaths of both his mother and his wife on the same day, to wrangling cattle in the West and preserving 150 million acres of national land.Challenging traditional views, In the Arena offers a fresh perspective on Roosevelt's groundbreaking political legacy, including his Square Deal policies that laid the groundwork for modern social welfare programs. It also unpacks his bold foreign policy, which expanded America's global influence and set the stage for its rise as a world power. Brown argues that Roosevelt's charisma and performative presidency helped bridge the old Victorian values with the new industrial age, capturing the attention of the middle-class and making him a leader that the people loved.Drawing comparisons to works like David McCullough's Mornings on Horseback, Brown's narrative stands out for its rich detail and sharp insights. More than just an account of a presidency—it's an exploration of a life lived on the edge of greatness and is a must-read for anyone who wants to better understand this critical period of American history.ABOUT THE AUTHORDavid S. Brown teaches history at Elizabethtown College in Pennsylvania. He is the author of eight books, including In the Arena: Theodore Roosevelt in War, Peace, and Revolution; A Hell of a Storm: The Battle for Kansas, the End of Compromise, and the Coming of the Civil War; The First Populist: The Defiant Life of Andrew Jackson; The Last American Aristocrat: The Brilliant Life and Improbable Education of Henry Adams; and biographies of F.

When the United Reformed Churches in North America formed in 1996, they didn't just create another denomination; they made deliberate choices about identity rooted in centuries of Reformed tradition. From adopting the Three Forms of Unity to implementing a strict subscription rooted in the Synod of Dort, to maintaining commitments such as catechetical preaching, every decision reveals the URCNA's commitment to preserving Reformed confessionalism. Dr. Cornelis Venema joins us to explore how confessional standards function in church life, how subscription shapes accountability, and why understanding these theological distinctives matters for anyone interested in Reformed ecclesiology today.

In this episode, we discuss Ireland's decision to make its basic income program for artists permanent and what that means for government-funded creativity, cultural value, and incentives. We examine the politics of the Super Bowl halftime show, rising ticket prices, and what cultural events reveal about tribal identity and public signaling. We then explore Texas redistricting, California's response, and the Supreme Court's potential role, along with broader debates over federal control of elections, absentee voting, voter ID laws, and lingering claims about the 2020 election. We also consider what legitimacy means in a constitutional republic, why “not my president” rhetoric cuts both ways, and whether secession talk solves anything.

The Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the Acting Director of ICE, and the Director of USCIS are all expected to testify today before the House Homeland Security Committee. This hearing takes place as the government faces another potential partial shutdown if Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding is not passed by the end of the week. Representative Brad Knott (R-NC) joins the Rundown to discuss the standoff over Democratic demands for ICE reform. Florida is now mandating that all driving tests be conducted in English only. While critics argue the rule is rooted in bias rather than safety data, Governor Ron DeSantis and other proponents defend the change as a common-sense measure to ensure drivers can comprehend road signs and laws. Lieutenant Governor Jay Collins joins the Rundown to discuss the policy—catalyzed by a fatal 2025 crash involving a non-English proficient commercial driver—and why he hopes the rest of the country follows the Sunshine State's lead.
