Sunday School: May 4, 2025 Teacher: Pastor Nathan Ruble

From food dyes to autism studies we are getting some good stuff on the Health side of the Trump admin. Let's pray it goes much much farther.Show NotesHosts:* The Philosopher King (Ivory Tower, 51% of the power)* The Strong One (People's Champ, fueled by athleticism and testosterone)Producer:* Dusty (upset, possibly due to hosts mocking the Blue Horizon space program)Episode Overview: The Kingsplaining Podcast delivers a provocative mix of cultural critique, health policy discussion, political commentary, and spiritual reflection. The hosts challenge mainstream narratives, celebrate strategic thinking, and identify four modern "idols" to dismantle, urging listeners to reject harmful societal norms and pursue Christ.Key Segments:* Opening Rant: Garbage Science on Red Meat (00:00:00 - 00:00:52)* Critique of epidemiological studies linking red meat to heart disease, labeled "garbage science" for ignoring variables like meat source (e.g., McDonald's vs. home-cooked steak).* Comparison to outdated practices like leeching, questioning blind trust in past authorities.* Purpose: To challenge listeners to scrutinize health narratives.* Introduction and Banter (00:01:16 - 00:03:20)* Humorous self-introduction as "right-wing extremists" and "Christian bigots," referencing Highlander and their podcast's growth over seven years.* Jabs at Dusty's mood, mentioning the Gators' national championship and Mama Dusty.* Transition to optimism about societal progress, contrasting dispensationalist views of decline.* Strategic Thinking in Sports and Life (00:03:28 - 00:07:29)* Analysis of a Florida Gators basketball coach's strategic fouling tactic against Texas Tech, targeting a poor free-throw shooter to secure a win.* Analogies to anime characters and wrestler Seth Rollins, praising strategic foresight.* Reflection on the hosts' improving podcast skills, promoting kingsplaining.com and new t-shirts.* Health Policy: RFK's Ban on Food Dyes (00:07:30 - 00:24:45)* Praise for RFK's April 22, 2025, announcement banning petroleum-based synthetic food dyes (e.g., Red Dye #40), despite prior criticism of his anti-Semitism focus.* Critique of the food system's two-year implementation delay, described as “industrial scale poisoning.”* Discussion of broader health issues: seed oils, bleached chicken, chemical egg baths, and margarine's harm compared to butter.* Exposure of historical propaganda (e.g., “breakfast is the most important meal”) as pork and cereal industry marketing, backed by paid doctors.* Optimism about growing Republican health awareness, contrasting past dismissal of “health nuts.”* Mention of Jenny McCarthy's claim that government agencies pressured her to stop criticizing vaccines, highlighting pharmaceutical influence.* Political Commentary: Trump and Epstein Files (00:25:46 - 00:27:32)* Trump's deflection when asked about Epstein files, claiming he authorized their release but blaming others for delays.* Emphasis on the hosts' consistent critique of power, regardless of political affiliation, despite backlash from Trump supporters.* Cultural and Political Critique (00:27:32 - 00:57:09)* Education and Public Schools (00:10:37 - 00:11:18): Critique of public schools, referencing a principal beaten by students in Georgia. Argues tax dollars fund dysfunctional systems, with “stupid” people defending ineffective programs.* Food and Health Costs (00:12:26 - 00:15:01): Discussion of the high cost of healthy food (e.g., pasture-raised eggs with orange yolks) and the hosts' ignorance of real food until recently. Highlights societal reliance on processed, harmful products.* Propaganda and Media Control (00:18:49 - 00:20:21): Reflection on past media control (three TV stations, limited news outlets) enabling propaganda like margarine promotion and anti-fat narratives. Notes the pork industry's role in popularizing breakfast.* Autism and Big Pharma (00:23:19 - 00:24:45): RFK's promise to identify autism causes by September 2025, implying existing knowledge. Suggests data manipulation to protect Big Pharma's interests.* Societal Observations (00:48:59 - 00:56:54): Analysis of NFL Draft interviews, noting intact families among offensive linemen and single-mother households among defensive players. Links broken families to feminism and divorce culture.* Mount Rushmore of Idols to Smash (00:57:09 - 01:57:59)* Safety (Safetyism): Critiqued as an obsession with avoiding risk (e.g., COVID policies, school safety measures), harming development. Encourages calculated risks for growth.* Niceness: Condemned as a barrier to truth, especially in Christian contexts where uncomfortable conversations (e.g., confronting sin) are avoided. Contrasts niceness with kindness, requiring tough love.* Nostalgia: Challenges fixation on past events (e.g., slavery, civil rights, WWII, the Holocaust) across racial and cultural groups, arguing it traps people in outdated conflicts. Rejects both negative and positive nostalgia (e.g., 1950s) to focus on the present and Christ's return.* Feminism: Criticized for elevating women above biblical roles, leading to abortion, rejection of gender roles, child mutilation, divorce culture, and low testosterone in men. Notes cultural shifts toward traditional values, especially among young men in Christian ministries.* Spiritual Reflection and Closing (01:57:59 - 02:01:02)* Biblical call to action from Micah 5:13-15, urging the destruction of idols to prevent future generations from falling away.* Prayer for boldness to smash idols, follow Christ, and love God wholeheartedly.* Emphasis on tearing down “high places” (idolatrous structures) alongside returning to God.* Reminder that the devil exploits extreme reactions (e.g., feminism vs. misogyny), making Jesus the only true path.Notable Quotes:* “That's such garbage science that it's astounding.” (On red meat studies)* “If you worship women, you can say, well, this is for the benefit of women that I'm killing babies, 50% of which are women.” (On feminism and abortion)* “Nobody likes the guy who peaked in high school.” (On nostalgia)* “We can't just go back to God. We have to tear down the high places.” (On smashing idols)Call to Action:* Visit kingsplaining.com for new t-shirts.* Like, share, and subscribe to the podcast.* Tell a friend to join the “Rube Empire.”Closing: The episode blends humor, conviction, and provocation to challenge listeners to reject cultural idols, pursue Christ, and advance God's kingdom. The hosts' unapologetic style and biblical grounding frame their critique of modern society. This is a public episode.

The post Saul and David’s Anointing (Contrasts in Character) appeared first on Woodland Hills Community Church.

Overview:In this episode, Ryan and Brian dive into a recent Christianity Today article by Daniel Silliman that sparked controversy by discussing scholar Jeffrey Paul Garcia's research suggesting Jesus' crucifixion may not have involved nails. The hosts explore the article's implications, the role of biblical scholarship, and the historical and archaeological evidence surrounding crucifixion. They also reflect on the importance of careful scholarship and its presentation to the public.Key Topics Discussed:Introduction to the Christianity Today ArticleArticle by Daniel Silliman references Jeffrey Garcia's research, which proposes that ropes, not nails, may have been used in Jesus' crucifixion.Published around Easter, leading to a firestorm of responses due to its timing and implications.Ryan notes he heard Garcia present this paper at the Society of Biblical Literature (SBL) meeting in 2006, highlighting the slow dissemination of scholarly work.Context of Biblical ScholarshipRyan defines a scholar as someone deeply engaged in study, emphasizing that it's not an elite category but a commitment to rigorous inquiry.Describes the SBL as a diverse gathering of scholars, including conservatives, nonbelievers, and others, studying Christian, Hebrew, and intertestamental texts.Contrasts how ideas are received in scholarly settings versus congregational ones, noting the skepticism scholars face at SBL.The Article's Claims and EvidenceGarcia's argument: Nails are not explicitly mentioned in the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke), and some ancient sources suggest ropes were used in crucifixions.Ryan counters with literary evidence:John 20 explicitly mentions nail marks in Jesus' hands (verses 25, 27).Luke 24:39-40 implies wounds in Jesus' hands and feet, supporting the nail narrative.Archaeological evidence:Yohanan's skeleton (found in Jerusalem post-Six Days War) with a nail in the heel bone, suggesting nails were used.Govello skeleton in Italy, another crucified individual with ankle damage.Nails were often reused due to the value of iron, explaining scarce archaeological remains.Ancient Roman inscription lists nails as essential for crucifixion, reinforcing their use.Response to the ArticleChristianity Today's evangelical roots (founded with Billy Graham's involvement) make the article's publication surprising, as it was perceived to question scriptural inerrancy.Silliman issued an apology, admitting he didn't consider John 20 or the impact on readers' views of inerrancy.Ryan and Brian critique the article's presentation in a popular outlet, which may lack the scholarly nuance needed for such claims.Historical and Archaeological Insights on CrucifixionRyan references Martin Hengel's book, Crucifixion in the Ancient World and the Folly of the Message of the Cross, which details the widespread use of crucifixion by Romans.Crucifixion was not just execution but public humiliation, often near roads for visibility.Variations in crucifixion methods:Crosses were likely lower than depicted in media.Shapes varied (e.g., capital T vs. small t).Some were crucified post-mortem for display.Example: Peter's upside-down crucifixion per church tradition.Yohanan's leg fractures were likely post-mortem, not evidence of crurifragium (leg-breaking to hasten death), as initially thought.The Role of Scholarship in FaithRyan defends...

Produced by Wayne Hall, Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller This week, Mark and I had a think about the Yes songs we like that include contrasts - one of my favourite aspects of progressive rock - and Yes music. We both chose 2 songs to talk about in depth but also went on a bit about other songs that also fit this category. It was another very interesting conversation - at least I thought so. What songs do we choose? What do we mean by contrast? Do our selections cover a wide range of eras of the band?

Hey friend! Have you ever wondered what it's like to take a peek behind the scenes - getting a sneak peek of how things run or a closer look at the inner workings? That's what today's podcast is about. You are getting a sneak peek at what group coaching looks like inside The Collective! The women I meet with monthly are amazing, inspiring and ACTION takers! It's been so much fun to watch the progress unfold these past six months. It's not fast action, but it's intentional action. It's action aligned with their personal styles, stories and goals for having homes they delight in! Today's questions are all as different as the homes they come from: 1. Jenny asks which bench to put inside her entryway, but might be surprised to learn that what I recommend is actually a small entry table. 2. Nicole is in desperate need of a paint job and wonders which shade of white to choose and notices how each swatch of paint is pulling a different undertone. 3. Dee is curious why I am recommending a curved mirror for her entry way table and the concept of contrast and soft lines is introduced. Even if the question isn't from them specifically, there's learning opportunities available! Would you like to make progress on your home too? Join us inside The Collective, where there's always more room at the table!   Better Than Basics Bootcamp April 29 - May 1 9am PST | 10 am MST | 11am CST | 12pm EST ......................................

Stuart Delony is unabashedly snarky.  In fact, you could call it his trademark.  He's unapologetic.  He's direct.  He uses profanity.  And, he is calling out the inconsistencies within Evangelical Christianity and the American church, distinctions between what Jesus called His church to do and what we actually do.He's also a former pastor from within Evangelical Christian culture.That's awkward.But, is he correct?  And, if he is correct, is he going about it in the right way?Today's Kingdom Culture Conversation is going to be very interesting!Stuart Delony founded his blog and podcast--Snarky Faith--and it has grown to have a national reach.  His tagline is "Radio for the Spiritually Disenfranchised" and he's been prominently featured within the documentary, "In God we Trump"--an expose on the American church and its relationship with President Donald Trump.  With trademark snarky-ness as a key element of his communication tact, he can be seen as abrasive but the awkward part of it is, there are times where he may be right.Or, is he?  Today, you'll hear from Stuart directly and get the chance to decide.To learn more about Stuart Delony and Snarky Faith, please visit SnarkyFaith.com.To read the specific blog post that we discuss within the episode, "Culture Wars Distract from Jesus' Call", please follow this link.

To love God is to love duality- accepting that His will and creations have contrasts. He's established the sun and moon, like He's conceived good and evil. As mature followers of Christ, we must accept what we don't understand or perceive as bad- knowing all things work together for our good. Though nobody enjoys the rain, it's the storms that nourish the harvest. Love God for who He is, even when you don't comprehend what He does. Stay blessed, not stressed!!!

"But what I didn't realize is that the main reason they wanted us in China was so that they could study our business model and figure out how to copy it over time. And that was something I wasn't expecting, but I should have. If I were less naive, And if I were better prepared, I would have realized that was the intention. So the original title, the working title I had for my book, which I had to change because the publisher didn't like it, my original title was 'One Bed, Two Dreams' (同床异梦).   Because that's a phrase that most Chinese are familiar with." - Ken Wilcox Fresh out of the studio, Ken Wilcox, former CEO of Silicon Valley Bank and author of "The China Business Conundrum", shares his experiences establishing Silicon Valley Bank's joint venture in China, uncovering the challenges of navigating cultural differences, guanxi, and examine China's playbook in bringing successful foreign ventures onshore.

In pp. 77–79 of The Defense of the Faith (first edition), Cornelius Van Til addresses the fundamental differences between Christian and non-Christian perspectives on ethics, particularly focusing on the role of the will of God as foundational to ethical systems. Van Til begins by asserting that God's will is absolute and self-determinative. God is eternally good, not becoming good through a process, but being so by his very nature. Unlike humans, God does not have to achieve goodness; it is intrinsic to his eternal character. Therefore, God is both absolutely necessary and absolutely free. Van Til introduces a key distinction between Christian and non-Christian viewpoints. Christians uphold the concept of an absolutely self-determinative God, who is the necessary presupposition for all human activity. Non-Christian ethics, however, assume that if the Christian God were real, he would stifle ethical activity. This is because non-theistic views perceive God and man as having wills conditioned by an environment, implying that God must also achieve goodness through a process. Van Til critiques Platonic philosophy, noting that Plato's conception of “the Good” was ultimate, but his god was not. For Plato, “the Good” was abstract and separated from a fully personal God, leaving the ultimate reality as dependent on the element of Chance. Thus, even if Plato spoke of the Good, it was not self-determined or sovereign in the Christian sense. Modern idealist philosophers tried to build on Platonic thought by proposing an “absolutely self-determinative Experience,” but ultimately failed, according to Van Til, because they made God dependent on the space-time universe, blending time and eternity. As a result, God became dependent on external processes rather than being sovereign over them. The core ethical difference between Christianity and non-Christian systems is the acceptance or rejection of an ultimately self-determinative God. Van Til argues that without the presupposition of God as absolute, there can be no coherent or purposeful human experience, including ethics. The absolute sovereignty of God is not a hindrance to human responsibility but rather its foundation. Van Til makes a point to distinguish Christian doctrine from philosophical determinism. While both affirm necessity, philosophical determinism is impersonal, suggesting that everything is determined by blind, impersonal forces. Christianity, in contrast, asserts that the ultimate reality is personal; God's sovereign will underlies the possibility of genuine human freedom and responsibility.
