Sean “Diddy” Combs, also known as Puff Daddy and P. Diddy, is once again making headlines as his legal battles intensify. Today, July 30, 2025, news sources like Sky News, the Los Angeles Times, and major U.S. outlets report that Combs' lawyers have urgently petitioned a federal judge to grant his release from the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. The motion is asking for a record $50 million bond, secured by Combs' Miami mansion, while he awaits his sentencing scheduled for October 3.Combs, 55, was acquitted of the most serious charges earlier this month, including racketeering and sex trafficking, but was convicted of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution under the Mann Act. The charges stem from allegations that he flew various people, including girlfriends and male escorts, around the country for consensual sexual encounters. According to the Los Angeles Times, his attorneys argue the conviction criminalizes what they describe as a private swinger lifestyle, referencing testimony from ex-girlfriends such as Cassie Ventura. They highlight that the Mann Act, historically used for cases involving financial exploitation, has rarely if ever been applied in this manner, asserting, in their words, “Sean Combs should not be in jail for this conduct.”Despite the unusual circumstances, Judge Arun Subramanian has so far denied previous bail requests, citing concerns about Combs' past behavior and potential danger to the community. Nonetheless, Combs' defense team is now offering not just the multimillion-dollar bond, but also strict travel limitations, potential house arrest, and even mental health or substance abuse treatment if required by the court.Meanwhile, while legal issues dominate the spotlight, there are emerging reports in sources such as Primal Mogul and on Instagram that Diddy has been plotting ambitious ventures with Kanye West—aiming to collaborate on new fashion, technology, and film projects once legal matters are resolved. The “Black Billionaire Syndicate,” as some call this partnership, is gearing up to make waves across multiple industries, building on the star power and entrepreneurial drive of both moguls.Listeners, thank you for tuning in to this week's update on Sean Combs.

Ajahn Dhammasiha is asked about the importance of faith in the Buddha's teaching. The Pali term for the first of five spiritual faculties is 'saddha'. It could also be translated as 'confidence', 'conviction' or 'trust'. Ajahn discusses various conditions that nurture our conviction and make it very strong. He also explains that faith and knowledge are not contradictions, but can support each other in our Dhamma practice. ⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Our Spotify Playlists⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dhammagiri Youtube Channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pics⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠#faith #saddha #buddhism #confidence #conviction #knowledge #dhammatalk

#233 - Nicole Dehne, director of Vermont Organic Farmers, shares what it means to uphold real integrity in a shifting organic landscape. From hydroponics and organic standards to the struggles of small farms, she explains how certifiers like VOF are fighting to preserve the original values of organic - transparency, soil health, and farmer-driven accountability - in a system increasingly influenced by industrial interests.https://realorganicproject.org/nicole-dehne-conviction-meets-certification-233The Real Organic Podcast is hosted by Dave Chapman and Linley Dixon, engineered by Brandon StCyr, and edited and produced by Jenny Prince.The Real Organic Project is a farmer-led movement working towards certifying 1,000 farms across the United States this year. Our add-on food label distinguishes soil-grown fruits and vegetables from hydroponically-raised produce, and pasture-raised meat, milk, and eggs from products harvested from animals in horrific confinement (CAFOs - confined animal feeding operations).To find a Real Organic farm near you, please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/directoryWe believe that the organic standards, with their focus on soil health, biodiversity, and animal welfare were written as they should be, but that the current lack of enforcement of those standards is jeopardizing the ability for small farms who adhere to the law to stay in business. The lack of enforcement is also jeopardizing the overall health of the customers who support the organic movement; customers who are not getting what they pay for at market but still paying a premium price. And the lack of enforcement is jeopardizing the very cycles (water, air, nutrients) that Earth relies upon to provide us all with a place to live, by pushing extractive, chemical agriculture to the forefront.If you like what you hear and are feeling inspired, we would love for you to join our movement by becoming one of our 1,000  Real Friends:https://www.realorganicproject.org/real-organic-friends/To read our weekly newsletter (which might just be the most forwarded newsletter on the internet!) and get firsthand news about what's happening with organic food, farming and policy, please subscribe here:https://www.realorganicproject.org/email/

Shannon Gallentine looks into Acts chapter 10 as she teaches on conviction. What do we do when the Holy Spirit convicts us ? Today's Music: Never Gonna Stop Singing, My Jesus, Such An Awesome God, and My Jesus I Love Thee

The privilege of gathering together as God's people is a reminder that our identity is not found in a building or a weekly event, but in the living presence of God within us. Reflecting on my recent visit to the Western Wall in Jerusalem, I was struck by the reality that, while many still pray for the coming of the Messiah, we who are in Christ know that the wall of separation has been torn down. The Holy of Holies is no longer a distant, restricted place—God's Spirit now dwells in us. This is not because of anything we have done, but because of what Jesus accomplished through His sacrifice. The presence of God is not confined to a location; it is our new identity as His people.Understanding that we are the temple of God changes everything. It means that wherever we go, we are on holy ground—not because of the place, but because the Holy God lives in us. This truth is not just theological information; it is deeply practical. It transforms our marriages, our parenting, our work, and even the way we interact with strangers. When we practice the presence of God, we begin to see ourselves not as consumers of spiritual goods, but as co-laborers and living stones, each with a role in God's mission.Our culture often views church as a place to have our needs met, but the biblical vision is so much richer. We are not customers or spectators; we are a spiritual family, a living temple, called to bring glory to God and to serve one another. This calling comes with both privilege and responsibility. We are set apart—made holy by Christ's sacrifice—and called to live differently, to be in the world but not of it. Holiness is not just for pastors or priests; it is the calling of every believer. We are a royal priesthood, offering our lives as living sacrifices.This journey of holiness is not about legalism or condemnation, but about responding to the loving conviction of the Spirit. Sometimes, God gently points out areas where we have compromised or grown numb to the world's influence. In those moments, we are invited to remember the privilege of His presence and to realign our lives with His purposes. The same God who dwelled in the tabernacle and temple now dwells in us, empowering us to live as His holy people.Chapters[00:00] - Welcome[01:00] - Summer Reflections and Family Updates[04:00] - Encountering the Western Wall[09:26] - The Wall of Separation and the Holy of Holies[10:44] - God's Presence Now Dwells in Us[14:09] - Misconceptions About Church[17:40] - EBC's Heart: Discipleship Over Consumerism[20:57] - Church: Not a Place, But an Identity[23:37] - Church Is for God's Glory, Not Ours[25:30] - From Spectators to Co-Laborers[27:32] - The Danger of a Consumer Mentality[30:19] - The Aircraft Carrier Analogy[33:15] - Biblical Metaphors: Temple, Bride, Body, Family[34:26] - The Temple: God's Presence and Our Unity[36:15] - Holiness in a Culture of Compromise[39:57] - The Story of Separation and God's Pursuit[43:28] - The Tabernacle: God Dwelling Among Sinners[45:14] - The Temple's Pattern and Its Fulfillment in Christ[46:52] - Jesus, the Final Sacrifice and the Torn Veil[49:11] - The Urgency of Personal Faith[50:15] - Living as God's Temple[53:10] - The Cloud of God's Presence and Our Mental Health[55:18] - The Call to Holiness and Responsibility[57:08] - You Are Not Your Own: Living Sacrifices[59:21] - Honest Confession and the Spirit's Conviction[01:03:56] - Responding to Conviction Without Condemnation[01:04:51] - Invitation to Prayer and Closing Worship

He grew up in Barbados and moved to the United States of America as a young adult. Neville Goddard was perhaps the last century's most intellectually substantive and charismatic purveyor of the philosophy generally called New Thought. He wrote more than ten books under the solitary pen name Neville, and was a popular speaker on metaphysical themes from the late 1930s until his death in 1972.Possessed of a self-educated and uncommonly sharp intellect, Neville espoused a spiritual vision that was bold and total: Everything you see and experience, including other people, is the result of your own thoughts and emotional states. Each of us dreams into existence an infinitude of realities and outcomes. When you realize this, Neville taught, you will discover yourself to be a slumbering branch of the Creator clothed in human form, and at the helm of limitless possibilities.Neville's thought system influenced a wide range of spiritual thinkers and writers, from bestselling author Dr. Joseph Murphy to Rhonda Byrne and Wayne Dyer.He has inspired and continues to inspire millions of readers around the world.* * *SOCIALS:• Neville Goddard Newsletter• Neville Goddard Telegram• Neville Goddard Instagram• Neville Goddard Threads• Neville Goddard Twitter• Neville Goddard YouTube* * *ABOUT THE COURSEUnlock God Mode is a transformative 30-day course designed to accelerate your journey towards greater wealth, love, and success through a deeper understanding and manipulation of your reality.  Comprising of 30 audio lessons, this course unfolds as a self-paced, introspective expedition into reality creation, aiding you in elevating your consciousness to what's referred to as the God Mode. Throughout this journey, practical tools will be provided daily to help enrich your life with more love, money, and success by altering your mental models and perceptions. This course combines theory and hands-on experience to create a unique deep dive into manifestation, consciousness, and reality creation.

True repentance begins when the Spirit of God opens our eyes to the weight of our sin—producing sorrow, not just over the consequences, but over our offense against a holy God (2 Cor. 7:9–10; Ps. 51:3–4). This sobering conviction is not self-generated guilt but a gracious confrontation that prepares the heart for real change.

Send us a textIn this powerful episode, Jodi Sarac shares a heartfelt and timely message about what it means to stand for life—real, abundant, God-given life—in a culture that so often devalues it. From standing in the face of fear to speaking truth when it's unpopular, Jodi calls us to be believers who are bold, grounded, and set apart.Drawing from Scripture, personal stories, and cultural realities, this conversation reminds us that following Jesus will always come with a cost—but it's worth it. When comfort, popularity, or compromise call our name, we are invited to something better: a faithful, courageous stand for what matters most.In a world conformed to its own image, we are called to be transformed—rooted in truth, anchored in love, and unafraid to stand.New episodes every Mondaywww.lifehousemot.cominfo@lifehousede.comJoin us Sundays at 9 & 11 AMIntro music by Joey Blair

True repentance begins when the Spirit of God opens our eyes to the weight of our sin—producing sorrow, not just over the consequences, but over our offense against a holy God (2 Cor. 7:9–10; Ps. 51:3–4). This sobering conviction is not self-generated guilt but a gracious confrontation that prepares the heart for real change.

Shame has a way of clinging to our souls like a heavy cloak. It whispers, “You're disqualified. You're damaged. You don't belong.” But Jesus didn't just come to forgive your sins—He came to remove your shame. You are not condemned. You are covered in grace. And today, we're taking that cloak off.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” — Romans 8:1 (ESV)There's a difference between conviction and condemnation.Conviction says, “You've sinned, but let's make it right.”Condemnation says, “You are your sin.”God's Spirit will convict you to restore you—but shame is the enemy's tool to destroy your identity. And if he can keep you stuck in shame, he can keep you silent, small, and sidelined.But here's the truth: Jesus took your shame to the Cross.When He said, “It is finished,” that included every regret, every mistake, and every hidden weight you carry. You are no longer defined by your worst moments. You are defined by His greatest one.Shame will always look backward. Grace invites you to look forward.Don't let shame have the final word in your life. Jesus already spoke the last word: “Forgiven.”You don't need to earn your way back. You simply come. Let Him cover you. Let Him clothe you in righteousness.You're not just clean—you're made new.Question of the Day:What shame from your past still tries to whisper lies—and what truth will you speak back today?Mini Call to Action:Write out Romans 8:1 and carry it with you today. Every time shame tries to speak, declare out loud: “I am in Christ. There is no condemnation for me.”Let's Pray:Jesus, thank You that You took my shame on the cross. I release the condemnation I've carried and receive Your grace. Help me walk in the freedom You already paid for. In Your name, amen.Let's Get To Work!You are not what you've done.

Reflections aren't just for selfies or pre-date checkups. Sure, mirrors are great for fixing your hair… but what about that spiritual broccoli in your teeth? This week, Joel Firebaugh reminds us that faith isn't about sitting still and feeling convicted, then going to Chipotle after service. It's about getting up and doing something about it. When we recognize and repent, Jesus can redeem.  Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

CONVICTION AND REPENTANCE (Acts 2:37-47) Conviction is the Holy Spirit's first work in a human heart. For the person who does not know Jesus as their Lord and Master, the Holy Spirit's message is a single message, a very simple message, yet it is such a difficult message to accept.  The Holy Spirit convicts of sin, of righteousness, and of the judgment to come. Then, the Holy Spirit convicts of the nature of sin, of the need for righteousness, and of the nearness of judgment.   Next, the Holy Spirit makes people see their personal accountability before God for what they have done, and in particular their rejection of Jesus Christ.  This is important to understand because it is not the amount, or kind, of sin in our life that condemns us; it is the fact of sin in our life that condemns us.  But even more importantly, we will not be judged and sent to an eternity in hell because of our sin.  We will be judged and sent to an eternity in hell because of our rejection of Jesus Christ and the light of salvation that He has provided to us through the Holy Spirit.   Man does not work toward salvation.  Salvation is the work of God. The choice of God was our salvation.  When we are born, we are hopelessly lost.  It was the choice of God to provide His Son as our only hope for salvation.  Our only decision, our only action, is to accept Jesus and the salvation that He has provided for us.  When a sinner repents of his sins and believes in Christ, it is because God has brought him to do so through the convicting power of the Holy Spirit.  Men do not turn from sin to God of their own initiative.  God must move them if they are ever to do so.  This includes the work of all of the good “agencies”, the church, the Christian witness, evangelism, and the social environment God has chosen to put us in, like being born of a Christian family, and in a Christian nation, but most of all it includes the inner prompting of the Holy Spirit.   It is the Holy Spirit that convicts the lost person of the sin of rejecting Jesus Christ.  It is not true that a sinner in and of himself repents and believes, and then God enters into the process in forgiveness.  God seeks the sinner.  God was in the process from the beginning, He established the plan of salvation, and then He works to bring about repentance and faith.  Our decision is to yield to a God who draws us to Himself, or reject Him.  We seek Him because He first sought us.

In this episode of America's Founding Series, Professor Nick Giordano explores the fascinating and often misunderstood legacy of John Dickinson, the man known as “The Penman of the Revolution.” While others raced toward independence, Dickinson stood firm in his belief that liberty must be secured through law, not rushed into through war. He helped ignite the flames of resistance with his Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania, yet refused to sign the Declaration of Independence, only to later pick up a musket and fight for the very cause he once questioned. Discover how Dickinson's moral conviction, intellectual rigor, and post-war contributions helped shape America's founding in ways few recognize today. Episode Highlights: Why John Dickinson refused to sign the Declaration of Independence despite being a leading voice for colonial rights How the Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania became one of the most influential texts of the American resistance Dickinson's surprising postwar legacy, from drafting state constitutions to defending the U.S. Constitution in The Letters of Fabius

When you are faced with a decision, do you consider the best outcome, or do you consider your deepest values about which actions are appropriate? Steven Sloman contrasts these two primary strategies for making decisions: consequentialism or prioritizing one's sacred values. He argues that, while both modes of decision making are necessary tools for a good decision maker, people err by deploying sacred values more often than they should, especially when it comes to sociopolitical issues. As a result, we oversimplify, grow disgusted and angry, and act in ways that contribute to social polarization. Drawing on historical and current examples of the two decision-making strategies in action, Sloman provides a thorough overview of the psychology of decision making, including work on judgment, conscious and unconscious decision-making processes, the roles of emotion, and even an analysis of habit and addiction. Steven Sloman has taught at Brown University since 1992. He is the author of Causal Models and a coauthor of The Knowledge Illusion (with Phil Fernbach). His new book is The Cost of Conviction: How Our Deepest Values Lead Us Astray.

True and Better // A Better King // Pastor Casey BushWhat made David “a man after God's own heart”? How does this ancient king help us understand the kind of King we actually need? In this message, Pastor Casey Bush invites us to take a deeper look atthe stories we think we know—and the questions we might not be asking. We're going to look at how David's rise, failures, and faith point us to something more, the true and better.Sermon Notes1 Samuel 8:4-54 Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah, 5 and said to him, “Look, you are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.”1 Samuel 8:7And the Lord said to Samuel, “Heed the voice of the people in all that they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them.”Kingship” - A God-ordained position of leadership, authority, and servanthood under God himself."Anointing" - The act of applying oil to someone or something, symbolizing consecration, sanctification, or divine empowerment.1 Samuel 13:13-14“13 And Samuel said to Saul, “You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of the Lord your God, which He commanded you. For now the Lord would have established your kingdom over Israel forever. 14 But now your kingdom shall not continue. The Lord has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, and the Lord has commanded him to be commander over His people, because you have not kept what the Lord commanded you.”1 Samuel 16:11 Now the Lord said to Samuel, “How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go; I am sending you to Jesse the Bethlehemite. For I have provided Myself a king among his sons.”1 Samuel 16:6…”Surely the Lord's anointed is before Him!”1 Samuel 16:12Now he was ruddy, with [f]bright eyes, and good-looking. And the Lord said, “Arise, anoint him; for this is the one!” 13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward.Matthew 6:33“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”1. DAVID WAITED ON THE LORDFIRST1 Samuel 18:7“..Saul has slain his thousands, but David his 10 thousands.”1 Samuel 24:6“And he says to his men, ‘The Lord forbid that I should do this thing to my master, the Lords anointed, to stretch out my hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the Lord.”2. DAVID WAS OBEDIENT TOGOD'S AUTHORITYMatthew 25:1“You have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things” Gods not after your obedience to earn His love-Its aboutresponding to it.Disobedience doesn't just break the rules, it breaks the relationship1 Samuel 15:23“Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, He also rejected you from being king.”Malachi 3:6“For I am the Lord, I do not change…”1 Samuel 15:1-21 Samuel also said to Saul, “The Lord sent me to anoint you king over His people, over Israel. Now therefore, heed the voice of the words ofthe Lord. 2 Thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘I will punish Amalek for what he did to Israel, how he ambushed him on the way when he came up from Egypt. 3 Now go and attack Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and do not spare them.1 Samuel 15:7-97 And Saul attacked the Amalekites, from Havilah all the way to Shur, which iseast of Egypt. 8 He also took Agag king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword. 9 But Saul and the people spared Agag and the best of the sheep, the oxen, the fatlings, the lambs, and all that was good, and were unwilling to utterly destroy them. But everything despised and worthless, they utterly destroyed.1 Samuel 15:2121 But the people took of the plunder, sheep and oxen, the best of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice to the Lord your God in Gilgal.”2 Samuel 24:1010 And David's heart condemned him after he had numbered the people. So David said to the Lord, “I have sinned greatly in what I have done; but now, I pray, O Lord, take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have done very foolishly.”3. DAVID WAS REPENTANTRepentance - Where our heart turns away from sin and turns toward God—a genuine sorrow, confession, and a desire to walk in obedience.A. David valued relationship over reputationB. David feared losing God's presencePsalm 51:11“Do not cast me away from Your presence, and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.”C. David was tender toward conviction“Conviction” is not condemnation-its correction wrapped in compassion.Numbers 32:23“and be sure your sin will find you out.”Numbers 32:23James 5:16Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed.Someone or something will sit on the throne of your life. The question is, who?
