Welcome to Episode 286 of Lucretius Today. This is a podcast dedicated to the poet Lucretius, who wrote "On The Nature of Things," the most complete presentation of Epicurean philosophy left to us from the ancient world. Each week we walk you through the Epicurean texts, and we discuss how Epicurean philosophy can apply to you today. If you find the Epicurean worldview attractive, we invite you to join us in the study of Epicurus at EpicureanFriends.com, where we discuss this and all of our podcast episodes. Today we close in on the ending of Part 2 - "Is Pain An Evil?." Last week we focused on Cicero's criticisms of Epicurus' PD04, and Cicero's argument that all we need to do to overcome pain is to approach it "like a man." This week, Cicero says that the call to virtuous conduct and overcoming of pain come from reason itself, which is the master of the soul. To what extent Epicurus agrees is what we'll be discussing when we pick up with Section XX. https://www.epicureanfriends.com/thread/4498-episode-286-confronting-pain-with-reason-rather-than-with-virtue/

Today's show takes a wild ride through America's shifting culture and escalating foreign policy threats. Tara and Producer Tim kick things off with an outrageous new poll showing nearly half of Gen Z is enjoying more sex during remote work—and nearly 40% say they'd return to the office if “private hookup spaces” were provided. The conversation turns hilariously uncomfortable with the rise of “office chair butt”—flattened physiques from too much sitting—prompting fitness tips and personal confessions. But the tone turns serious as Tara launches into a fiery monologue on the U.S.–Iran conflict, detailing Israel's precision strikes on Iranian missile launchers and calling out the Biden administration and the Democrat party for appeasing Iran. She lays bare Iran's history of proxy attacks, assassination attempts on Trump, and the deaths of U.S. soldiers, demanding decisive action to stop Iran's nuclear ambitions—without nation building or boots on the ground. Tara draws a sharp line between strong, focused military deterrence and the costly blunders of the past, warning listeners that the world can't afford more indecision. A packed episode filled with jaw-dropping cultural trends, unapologetic truth-telling, and the real stakes of global conflict.

Send us a textWhat happens when Father's Day triggers deep emotional wounds about control, rejection, and religious programming? In this raw, vulnerable episode, I invite you into my unconventional Sunday worship experience that happened not in church pews but poolside, where I confronted three lifelong triggers that have haunted me from childhood.The journey begins with recognizing how these triggers—financial scarcity, self-hatred, and control as a coping mechanism—represent places where our old energetic patterns clash with our emerging authentic selves. As the energy on Earth shifts dramatically, these triggers surface with increasing intensity, creating what feels like "static" or "steel wool" sensations in our bodies.Rather than running from discomfort (my usual pattern), I share how sitting with these feelings led to a profound spiritual breakthrough. The heat of transformation flowing through my body, followed by the coolness of the pool water, became a powerful metaphor for understanding how my intense energy affects others and how I can better calibrate my approach to relationships.This episode challenges conventional notions about worship, suggesting that authentic spirituality often happens outside traditional religious structures. Through tears, movement meditation, and ultimately complete vulnerability (yes, literal nakedness before God), I discovered that transformation comes not through maintaining control but through surrendering it entirely.Whether you struggle with religious programming, father wounds, or simply the discomfort of personal growth, this episode offers permission to explore unconventional pathways to healing. True freedom emerges when we stop running from our triggers and instead allow them to teach us who we really are beneath the programming.Support the show

Consumerism remains a dominant force in contemporary society. But what does it look like when it infiltrates the Church? How do we distinguish consumerism from discipleship?

Fear. Depression. Anxiety. Suicide ideation. How do we respond to the needs of what is now being called "the anxious generation"? According to the Center for Disease Control, over 1.5 million kids under the age of 17 take anti-anxiety medication, and 61% of college students are struggling with anxiety, according to the American Psychological Association. What are the physiological, psychological, social, and spiritual roots of these oppressive conditions? Join Dr. Lisa for part 3 of the High Anxiety series as she examines causes, effects, and considerations for raising a generation of emotion-regulating champions. Parents, you're not alone. There is hope for the next generation--and for our own generations--if we lean in to the wisdom of God's word. Education is discipleship. Who is discipling your children, and what habits of the heart are being construed as normal or necessary? Let's not conform to the pattern of this world; let's instead be transformed by the renewing of our minds so that we can know God's good and perfect and pleasing will.

Are you ready to reclaim what the enemy has stolen from your life? In this powerful episode, Kathy DeGraw sits down with prophetic leader and author Jane Hamon to talk about her impactful book Confronting the Thief. This conversation is loaded with spiritual warfare strategies, prophetic insight, and practical tools to help you take back your peace, your health, your finances, your passion, and your purpose. Jane shares a prophetic vision she received of two demonic spirits—The Devourer and The Destroyer—standing in a boxing ring. Instead of confronting them, believers sat paralyzed, believing the lie that "this is just life." In this episode, you'll hear how that lie has infiltrated the Church and how we must rise up and say no more. Jane brings revelation and scriptural truth that will challenge and empower you to fight back and recover what's rightfully yours. We dive into the biblical and prophetic foundations of deliverance, including the strategy of the Amalekites in Scripture—spiritual enemies who rob, plunder, and try to dismantle God's plans for His people. Jane unpacks the significance of Haman's ten sons in the book of Esther and how their names represent different demonic strongholds—distraction, mammon, pride, oppression, accusation, rebellion, and more. This isn't just a history lesson—it's a blueprint for modern-day victory. If you've been on a journey with topics like spiritual warfare, healing, and deliverance, this episode is essential. We specifically address healing and divine health, and how believers can activate the promises of God for their bodies. Jane shares powerful healing testimonies and talks about how she equips readers with healing decrees and prayers that activate faith and bring real results. You'll also hear strategies for intercession, praying in tongues, and using the written and prophetic word of God to overcome chronic sickness, emotional attacks, and generational bondage. If you feel like you've been in a prolonged battle, this episode will give you the hope, clarity, and direction you need to keep fighting—and win. This is a timely and equipping conversation for anyone who is ready to stop tolerating the enemy's interference and start walking in the fullness of what Jesus paid for. It's time to confront the thief.

“One of the biggest symbols of America is Mount Rushmore. This monument, right? But I think most people fail to realize where it's located and why it's located there. Even more importantly, who did it? It's on a sacred Native American mountain, a place that was central to their creation stories. But then you think about who did it, and it was a Klansman. The guy who sculpted Mount Rushmore was a Klansman. People were like, "Wait, really?" Like, how is that a thing? But it seeps into our understanding and our embrace of white supremacy. This whole notion of us using Mount Rushmore as a metric of excellence is really sad. We are honoring slave owners and people who viciously killed natives, and those who pillage other lands in the name of capitalism. That's what America is, I guess.I think there's such a disinterest in education in America that it is sickening. We can't even agree on facts. It's up to states' rights to decide. Really? States can say that this is true in one state, but it's not true in another? Although these states are united, it's very bizarre. I'm hopeful for revolution. I'm optimistic. I want radical change. I think we are repeating history. We are going through a cycle of fascism and greed, and I think we're going to see a lot of states collapse. As a result of that, I think people are going to be forced back to their primal needs and concerns, but I think they're going to be forced to think about what makes us human. How do we become more human? Because we've lost that. We've given it up to technology. How can we figure out what makes us a really powerful species again?”Irvin Weathersby Jr. is a Brooklyn-based writer and professor from New Orleans.

Antisemitism isn't just rising in America, it's exploding. And while our institutions hesitate, the attacks are getting louder, deadlier, and more brazen. Just this spring, during Passover, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro's home was targeted in an arson attack while he and his family were asleep inside. Soon thereafter, a young Jewish couple was murdered in cold blood in Washington, D.C. Their only crime? Being Jewish.And in Boulder, Colorado, an Egyptian national terrorist launched a brutal assault using Molotov cocktails and a flamethrower on a group of Jewish people who were peacefully assembled to support the Israeli hostages. The attack injured an 88-year-old Holocaust survivor, plus 11 other individuals.The question is no longer whether antisemitism exists. The question is: Why is America tolerating it? On today's episode of Some Future Day, I sit down with Robert Spencer, scholar, historian, and author of the new book “Antisemitism: History and Myth.” Together we trace the ancient roots of Jew hatred, explore how Islamic extremism and Western academia are feeding the flames, and confront the role social media and influencers are playing in amplifying the world's oldest hatred. This conversation is raw, necessary, and deeply unsettling. But it's one we can't avoid. If we stay silent now, the future of Jews in America could mirror the darkest chapters of our past.Episode Links:Website: https://jihadwatch.org/X: https://x.com/jihadwatchRSInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jihadwatch.robertspencer/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JihadWatchVideo"Antisemitism: History and Myth" by Robert Spencer: https://a.co/d/12lfxyEOrder Marc's new book, "Some Future Day: How AI Is Going to Change Everything"Sign up for the Some Future Day Newsletter here: https://marcbeckman.substack.com/To join the conversation, follow Marc Beckman here: YoutubeLinkedInTwitterInstagramTikTok

At least two tribal relocation efforts foreshadow what can go wrong when even small communities are forced to contend with the increasing threats posed by climate change. A report by the Washington Post, ProPublica, and Bethel radio station KYUK documents the ongoing difficulties which the residents of Newtok, Alaska confront after moving their village to escape the effects of the rising sea and thawing permafrost. We'll hear about that report and the worries about future efforts to react to changing landscapes.

This Father's Day week, join Rusty and Heather Bryant on the Redeemed Marriage Podcast for a deeply personal and vulnerable conversation about true manhood. Rusty shares candidly how Heather's infidelity and betrayal profoundly impacted his identity as a man, forcing him to confront deep insecurities and redefine strength. In this special episode, Heather asks Rusty probing questions about: How betrayal shakes a man's identity. The permission to feel weakness and grieve. The journey of forgiveness and modeling it. Confronting pride in the path to healing. The current meaning of manhood and how it has evolved. The legacy he hopes to leave for his sons regarding manhood and marriage. What strength truly looks like in a redeemed man. This powerful discussion offers invaluable insights for men navigating their own identity and for women seeking to understand the complexities of the male heart, especially in the context of brokenness, faith, and redemption. Whether you're a husband, father, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of Christian manhood, this episode explores how a relationship with Christ transforms our view of ourselves and our roles. Perfect for anyone reflecting on being a husband and father and what it means to lead with a redeemed heart.

The episode kicks off with some light banter, but quickly shifts to a deep, honest conversation about the struggles that come with following Jesus—and helping others do the same. Facing the Hard Stuff Josh opens by naming the elephant in the room: temptation is part of life, even in ministry. While it's tempting (no pun intended) to focus only on wins and high points, the guys make it clear—ignoring sin doesn't make it go away. In fact, it makes things worse. Confronting it directly is key to personal integrity and faithful disciple-making. Everyone Struggles—Even Jesus Was Tempted Drawing from Hebrews, they remind us that even Jesus faced temptation. That truth doesn't excuse sin—it encourages us. If He faced it and overcame, we can lean on Him in our fight too. Disciple-making isn't about being perfect, but about staying honest and dependent on Jesus. Don't Go It Alone Jason pushes back on the myth of solo Christianity. Isolation is dangerous, especially when struggling with sin. They paint a biblical picture of community—like the body, vine and branches, shepherd and sheep—where honest relationships offer support, accountability, and light in dark places. Confession Brings Healing Confession isn't just a religious duty—it's a path to healing (James 5). The hosts use a striking image: sins are like baby dragons. Small at first, but dangerous if fed and hidden. Naming them early—through confession and accountability—stops them from taking over. Practical Tools for Disciple-Makers Josh and Jason share some simple but powerful practices: Safe Spaces: Create environments where people can share struggles without fear of judgment. Early Confession: Address sin before it grows into something bigger. Regular Reflection: Stay in step with God by confessing quickly and often. Rely on the Holy Spirit and Scripture They caution against white-knuckling your way through temptation. Instead, rely on the Holy Spirit and God's Word. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 10, they remind listeners that God always provides a way out. Around the world, disciple-making movements thrive when Scripture is the foundation and the Spirit is the guide. God's Word Transforms They emphasize that lasting change comes from God—not effort alone. When we stay rooted in Scripture and invite the Spirit to search our hearts, He brings conviction and real transformation. The goal isn't behavior management; it's presence-driven change led by Jesus. No Sin Too Small—or Too Big When it comes to cultural issues like sexual sin, they caution against playing favorites with sins. All sin separates. The best approach? Get people into the presence of Jesus and let the Holy Spirit do the heavy lifting. Encouragement to Apply They close by encouraging listeners to keep it simple: read Scripture, listen to the Spirit, confess quickly, and stay connected. Disciple-making happens when people walk in honesty, grace, and dependence on God—together. Takeaway: Sin and temptation are part of the journey—but they don't have to derail it. Through confession, accountability, and the power of the Spirit, disciple-makers can walk in freedom and help others do the same.

The conversation dives into the first chapter of 'Spent Matches', exploring the effectiveness of current church strategies in light of global trends. It confronts the brutal facts about church growth, challenges traditional assumptions about evangelism and discipleship, and emphasizes the need for a paradigm shift in leadership and ministry practices.TakeawaysThe church is becoming less effective despite growth.The Stockdale Paradox highlights the need to confront reality.Only 19 million converts a year globally is concerning.The financial sustainability of current methods is questionable.US evangelicalism is experiencing declines in key metrics.The focus should shift from form to function in ministry.Discipleship should emphasize obedience over knowledge.Leadership roles need to evolve into learning designers.The church should be seen as a community, not a building.Radical change often starts at the fringes, not the top.Resources: Resource GuideListen in another Language - !Coming Soon!

Why has Libya fallen apart since 2011? The world has largely given up trying to understand how the revolution that toppled Muammar Gaddafi has left the country a failed state and a major security headache for Europe. Gaddafi's police state has been replaced by yet another dictatorship, amidst a complex conflict of myriad armed groups, Islamists, tribes, towns and secularists. What happened? One of few foreign journalists to have lived in post-revolution Tripoli, Ulf Laessing has unique insight into the violent nature of post-Gaddafi politics. Confronting threats from media-hostile militias and jihadi kidnappings, in a world where diplomats retreat to their compounds and guns are drawn at government press conferences, Laessing has kept his ear to the ground and won the trust of many key players. Understanding Libya Since Gaddafi is an original blend of personal anecdote and nuanced Libyan history. It offers a much-needed diagnosis of why war has erupted over a desert nation of just 6 million, and of how the country blessed with Africa's greatest energy reserves has been reduced to state collapse.

In this episode of the Mind Shift Podcast, Erwin McManus sits down with longtime friend and podcaster Tim Ross to explore the deeply personal and often overlooked qualities of vulnerability and integrity in leadership. Drawing from Tim's extensive experience across various church communities and media platforms, they reflect on how these foundational values are frequently missing in modern leadership—even in spiritual spaces where they should be most essential. From the outset, Tim defines integrity as being the same person in private as in public, and the two lament how rare that consistency has become. Their conversation quickly turns candid, setting the tone for an honest exploration of what it truly means to lead with character.Together, Erwin and Tim examine the roots of duplicity in leadership, citing the biblical story of Adam and Eve as the origin of humanity's tendency to hide the truth. Tim calls out the church culture that often prioritizes talent over character, fostering environments where young pastors feel compelled to fake perfection. This discussion reveals a painful tension: the systems designed to promote spiritual growth can sometimes create pressure for leaders to project false images. They agree that the very structures that should protect integrity often enable its erosion, making the practice of vulnerability both risky and revolutionary.As the dialogue deepens, the conversation shifts to the challenges of maintaining authenticity in the digital age. Tim and Erwin explore how social media amplifies both mistakes and expectations, often punishing honest leaders while rewarding those who hide behind curated personas. They highlight how the fear of public judgment has led many to conceal struggles instead of seeking healing, and how sincerity itself has become a liability. The issue isn't only moral—it's systemic. The pair critiques how church institutions have historically managed scandal: focusing more on image management than heart restoration.As the episode winds down, Tim shares how personal challenges and failures—including struggles with burnout and his past addiction—shaped his path toward becoming a more honest leader. He encourages leaders to surround themselves with communities capable of handling vulnerability and emphasizes the value of therapy, self-awareness, and rest. The conversation expands to balancing humility with confidence, navigating exhaustion, and being open to unexpected vocational turns. Tim's final reflections—and an impromptu farewell rap—offer humor and heart, reinforcing the episode's core message: leadership doesn't require perfection, but it does demand honesty, resilience, and the courage to be seen.
