A Note from James: Bill O'Reilly's new book, Confronting Evil, is both a history lesson and a warning. It's a study of the most destructive figures in human history—from Hitler, Stalin, and Mao to Genghis Khan, Caligula, and even modern evildoers like Putin and the cartels.When I first picked it up, I thought it would be about the past. But after reading it, I realized it's really about right now—about how evil mutates, reappears, and spreads when we stop paying attention.We talked about the psychology of evil, how it manifests differently in modern life, and why we all need to look inward at how we process fear and anger. The episode ends on a note of hope—but only if we're willing to face what's real.Episode Description:In this episode, James sits down with legendary journalist and author Bill O'Reilly to discuss his new book, Confronting Evil: Assessing the Worst of the Worst. Together, they explore how history's darkest figures—Hitler, Mao, Stalin, Putin, and others—reflect modern patterns of violence, polarization, and moral decay.O'Reilly draws from decades of reporting and war correspondence to explain the difference between “personal evil” and “collective evil,” and why societies collapse when good people stop paying attention.The conversation also looks at free speech, mental illness, the internet's role in radicalization, and why mercy for the guilty so often becomes cruelty to the innocent.What You'll Learn:The 15 most destructive figures in world history—and why their patterns are repeating today.The two types of evil: personal vs. collective.How technology and echo chambers amplify hatred.Why ignoring small evils allows larger ones to grow.How to recognize and contain evil in a free society.Timestamped Chapters:[02:00] A Note from James: Introducing Confronting Evil[02:39] Are we living in a new age of violence or just a repeating cycle?[03:39] On partisanship, anger, and how fear disguises itself[04:57] Bill joins: marketing a book in the age of distraction[05:51] Why O'Reilly wrote Confronting Evil and how it differs from his “Killing” series[07:16] Putin, October 7th, and the eerie timing of the book's release[08:20] Why today's evil feels more personal than historic evil[09:39] Personal encounters with evil: chasing Ted Bundy[11:01] Witnessing atrocities: from El Salvador to Belfast[12:24] Could Hitler have been reasoned with?

Church attendance in America peaked in the mid-20th century, but since then, Christianity has steadily declined in influence. What was once viewed positively—and later tolerated as just one option among many—is now often regarded with suspicion or outright hostility. In today's cultural climate, Christian morality is dismissed and even seen as a threat to the new moral order. Aaron M. Renn traces this 70-year shift in cultural attitudes toward Christianity and offers practical strategies for churches, institutions, and believers.

Jennifer Meyer is the founder and creative director of Jennifer Meyer Jewelry, a fine jewelry brand handmade in Los Angeles. Jennifer's story starts early. At six, she was discovering her love for jewelry while creating pieces with her grandmother. Fast forward: she hustled her way into getting a job at Glamour magazine, then worked in fashion and PR with Ralph Lauren and Giorgio Armani. In 2005, she finally followed her passion she felt for years and launched her brand at her kitchen table, teaching herself everything from molds to pricing. Her big break came when Jennifer Aniston wore the leaf necklace in The Break-Up, and suddenly her pieces were on the shelves at Barneys and Net-a-Porter.

Welcome back to the Motion Church Podcast. Today, we step into a brand-new series — “Scary Things Jesus Said.” Because sometimes… what He said wasn't soft. It wasn't safe. It was sharp. Real. Confronting. See, we've grown comfortable with a Jesus who makes us feel good, who wraps us in grace and warmth and mercy. But what about the Jesus who speaks hard truth? The one who loves us enough to challenge us— to tell us the things we don't want to hear, but need to. In this opening week, we remember that Jesus was not divided— He was full of grace and truth. Grace that saves us. Truth that shapes us. Both flowing from the same heart of a Father who dared to plunder heaven for us. So lean in. Let your heart be open, your spirit be ready. Because the words of Jesus might sound scary… but they just might set you free.
Newt talks with renowned TV journalist and bestselling author Bill O’Reilly about his latest book, “Confronting Evil.” The book, which quickly became a New York Times bestseller, explores the actions of some of history's most notorious figures, including Genghis Khan, Caligula, Henry VIII, and modern figures like Putin and the Mexican drug cartels. O'Reilly explains his motivation for writing about the concept of evil, noting a perceived rise in malevolent behavior globally and particularly in the United States. He emphasizes the importance of recognizing and confronting evil, which he believes is often ignored in modern society. Their conversation also touches on current global issues, such as the influence of the Mexican drug cartels and the threat posed by Vladimir Putin, whom O'Reilly describes as a dangerous psychopath. He also highlights the need for a collective reassessment of how society deals with evil and the role of leadership in addressing these challenges.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if fear wasn't holding you back—but guiding you forward? Leaning into discomfort is often the first step toward unlocking your true potential. In this episode of The Manifested Podcast, Kathleen Cameron redefines fear as more than just an obstacle—it's a compass pointing toward growth and transformation. She shares how her own journey, from bold career changes to choosing sobriety, taught her that fear signals progress, not retreat. By the end, you'll see fear not as something to resist but as an invitation to step into your next chapter. If you've been feeling stuck, uncertain, or on the verge of change, this episode is your reminder that fear might be the very sign you've been waiting for. Tips in this episode: Fear is often misunderstood as a barrier or warning sign, but it's actually indicative of personal growth and expansion. Discomfort is useful and necessary for progress; comfort often leads to stagnation and unhappiness. By recognizing fear as an element of the creative process, one can use it to push beyond current limitations and achieve higher states of being. Confronting fear requires reframing one's mindset and self-talk, transforming fear into excitement and anticipation of growth.

In this thrilling episode, we delve into the mysterious world of The Shadow, who investigates the ghostly appearances of Sir Roger Mathis in a small New England town. As the village grapples with the implications of opening an ancient meeting hall to the public, a series of murders linked to the ghost raises the stakes. The Shadow, alongside his companion Margo Lane, uncovers dark secrets, confronts the ghost, and ultimately faces a deadly adversary determined to protect the village's traditions at any cost.Introduction: In a quaint New England town, the peaceful nights were shattered by a series of mysterious murders, all seemingly linked to the ghost of Sir Roger Mathis. As the village clock struck nine, the eerie footsteps echoed through the ancient graveyard, leading to a chilling discovery that would unravel a tale of vengeance and spectral justice.The Ghostly Apparition: The legend of Sir Roger Mathis, the first governor of the colony, had long been a part of the town's folklore. His grave, untouched for over 200 years, became the epicenter of fear when villagers reported sightings of a ghostly figure clad in knee breeches and a powdered wig. The apparition, resembling a death mask, declared its return to save the village from its sinful ways, leaving a trail of death warrants signed by Sir Roger himself.The Investigation: Lamont Cranston, known as The Shadow, and his companion Margo Lane, delved into the mystery, uncovering a sinister plot. The victims, all proponents of opening the old meeting hall to the public, were found clutching ancient death warrants. The investigation led them to Silas Crossman, a staunch opponent of the hall's opening, and his nephew Edward, who harbored a deep-seated hatred for his uncle.The Unmasking: In a dramatic confrontation, The Shadow revealed Edward Crossman as the impersonator of Sir Roger's ghost. Driven by revenge, Edward sought to frame his uncle for the murders, igniting a fire that threatened to consume the entire hall. The Shadow's timely intervention saved the day, bringing Edward to justice and restoring peace to the village.Conclusion: The haunting of Sir Roger's ghost serves as a reminder of the power of legends and the darkness that can lurk within human hearts. As the town rebuilds, the story of Sir Roger will continue to echo through the ages, a testament to the enduring battle between good and evil.Subscribe Now: Stay tuned for more thrilling tales and uncover the mysteries that lie beneath the surface.

Fear isn't just an emotion — it's a spirit that holds us back from God's best. In this episode, we explore how fear keeps us from walking in power, love, and sound thinking, and how Scripture gives us the tools to push back. With insights from 2 Timothy 1:7, practical examples, and spiritual encouragement, you'll be challenged to trust God more deeply and evict fear from your life.Support the show

Send us a textThis conversation delves into the foundations of a significant spiritual movement, focusing on the personal struggles and radical preparations of a key figure, I.C. The discussion highlights the importance of overcoming prejudice, the necessity of cultural immersion, and the strategic outreach efforts that led to the establishment of disciple-making movements among unreached people groups.TakeawaysThe urgency for disciple-making movements is rooted in a global vision.Every people group needs to hear the gospel, not just the already reached.I.C.'s initial view was limited by cultural and personal pain.Radical obedience is essential for overcoming deep-seated prejudices.Language learning was a critical step in building bridges.Cultural immersion shattered I.C.'s assumptions about the nearby tribe.Strategic outreach can be more effective in urban settings.Indigenous leadership is key for sustainable ministry.Personal barriers often define the limits of effectiveness in mission.Confronting historical pain can lead to fruitful purpose.

Is social protection just a handout? Does it discourage work? Or are the systems plagued by fraud? In this episode, we unpack some of the biggest myths surrounding social protection systems and explore the real data behind the rhetoric. Despite the strong evidence base available and data which overwhelmingly proves the strengths of social protection in combating poverty and vulnerability, social protection practitioners are often faced by questions or doubts about mechanisms which have been, at some level, settled by evidence, practice and experience. Whether you're a sceptic or a supporter, this conversation might challenge your assumptions and bring greater clarity to the debate. Meet our guests: Rema Hanna, Jeffrey Cheah Professor of Southeast-Asia Studies, Harvard Kennedy School Tia Palermo, President at Policy Research Solutions (PRESTO) On this episode we do not have a Quick Wins guest, as there will be a Bonus episode coming out mid-October.

Today, I sit down with my 21-year-old son, Scottie, to briefly unpack a startling street conversation in New York City. While running a “Change My Mind” table at Union Square, he met a self-described Satanist who reached for tarot cards when asked about the identity of Jesus. According to my guest Steve Dabbs, author of "When Demons Surface," this was a genuine demonic encounter. We show part of the encounter, and then analyze the experience through the lens of scripture.

Economic and social processes shape tourism development, but - in turn - tourism reshapes economic spaces, and that is creating new challenges in South East Asia and beyond. This week, Gary welcomes Joao Romao, Associate Professor at Yasuda Women's University in Japan, to discuss his new book, Economic Geography of Tourism. An economist, tourism strategy advisor and former travel documentary maker, Joao assesses contemporary tourism through a lens of shifting global economic, technological, societal, environmental and political challenges. He advocates for tourism strategies that are economically viable and effectively sustainable, inclusive and resilient - but questions whether these can be achieved in modern political economies. Starting in his home country of Japan, we travel through South East Asia to South America and Europe to discuss the accumulating societal issues confronting tourism planners. We assess the implications of technological advancements on urban and secondary destinations, and the concentration of priceless travel data among a small coterie of tech firms. We finish by looking at how long-term partnerships with creative industries and the wellness sector might forge a more manageable balance of travel flows between cities and decentralised destinations.
To help us unpack why accent bias is so harmful and why it must be challenged, John Maytham speaks to Dr Babar Dharani, Senior Lecturer at the Allan Gray Centre for Values-Based Leadership at the UCT Graduate School of Business. Dr Dharani reminds us that accents are not just about communication — they carry history, culture, and identity — and to stigmatise them is to silence part of who we are. Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather. The host’s eclectic interests mean the program often surprises the audience with intriguing book reviews and inspiring interviews profiling artists. A daily highlight is Rapid Fire, just after 5:30pm. CapeTalk fans call in, to stump the presenter with their general knowledge questions. Another firm favourite is the humorous Thursday crossing with award-winning journalist Rebecca Davis, called “Plan B”.

In this episode of LIVE FREE, Pastors Josh Howerton and Carlos Erazo are joined by Paul Cunningham and special guest Sabrina Kosmas of PragerU. Together they unpack Acts 20 and explore what it means to follow Jesus with boldness today. The conversation moves from Paul's farewell to the Ephesian elders to debates over whether Charlie Kirk should be called a martyr. Along the way, they examine the cost of faithful witness, the need for strong church leadership, and the danger of shrinking back from declaring the whole counsel of God. Pastor Josh also reflects on his shift in preaching. The team discusses church governance and revival moments at Lakepointe Church. Sabrina addresses cultural lies about Charlie Kirk, reminding us that while the enemy distorts and divides, the Gospel remains unstoppable. God brings fruit from tragedy, and every believer is called to finish the race with courage and faith.
Trevor Loudon Reports – Loudon introduces the “Hogan's Heroes Syndrome” to illustrate how the left frames conservatives as existential threats, akin to Nazis, justifying extreme actions against them. Drawing a parallel to the TV show, he argues that the left convinces young progressives that conservatives like Kirk or Trump are fascists, leading some to believe violence is a moral imperative to “save the country.”
International Christian missions is both exciting and critical. Through evangelical missionaries, the Gospel penetrates new tribes, tongues and cultures. Churches are planted, people are saved from their sins – the Kingdom of Christ advances.As exciting and important as it is, few Christians feel like they have a solid grasp on the methods and practices that go into missions. Consequently, pastors, elders and everyday Christians have outsourced discernment for the missions they support to the “experts.”However, some of these experts have been busy implementing practices that align poorly with Scripture. Few in the supporting churches may realize what they are helping push, but it's time they lean in and learn.In this episode of the Christian Emergency Podcast, Pastor Chad Vegas returns to the mic to provide helpful insights into the true state of modern international Christian missions. What's really going on? Why do supporting churches need to weigh in?Not only does Chad explore some of the concerns unfolding in missions, but he also highlights encouraging new resources that can help address the issues. These resources – like Missionary.com – will both inspire and equip pastors and churches to bolster their missional confidence.
