Join Aaron Renn as he interviews Leah Libresco Sargeant, author of The Dignity of Dependence: A Feminist Manifesto. In this thought-provoking episode, Leah explores a bold vision of feminism rooted not in independence, but in the inherent dignity of human dependence. From kitchen counter heights to breast pumps, investment banking hours to factory design, they discuss how modern systems often demand standardization at the expense of human flourishing, especially for women and families. Leah challenges the myth of autonomy, celebrates the interdependence of men and women, and calls for workplaces, communities, and tools that serve real people—not abstract, interchangeable workers. Whether you're a parent, a policymaker, or just tired of the grind, this conversation offers fresh insight into building a society that honors care, weakness, and mutual need.CHAPTERS:(00:00 - Introduction)(02:45 - The Hyattsville Catholic Community)(04:35 - STEM to Storytelling: How Math Shaped a Writer)(05:40 - What Is The Dignity of Dependence?)(06:25 - Why Call It a Feminist Manifesto?)(07:44 - Kitchen Counters, Breast Pumps, and Industrial Design)(09:36 - Critiquing Modernity: Tools vs. Human Needs)(11:09 - Redesigning Work for Parents (Not Just the Elite))(13:24 - The Bruderhof Model: Factories Built for Community)(14:17 - Efficiency vs. Human Good: Where to Make Trade-Offs)(16:33 - Middle-Class Flexibility & Real-World Parenting)(18:31 - No Going Back: Living Thoughtfully in Modernity)(20:36 - Men, Strength, and the Call to Protect)(24:43 - Men's Need: To Be Needed)(27:28 - Autonomy: The Modern Myth of the Untouchable Self)(29:56 - Abortion, Euthanasia, and the Logic of Dependence)(31:39 - Final Thought: Weakness Is Not Failure)LEAH LIBRESCO SARGEANT LINKS:

James confronts a sin that is so common that we don't even notice it in our lives. It's the sin of presumptuousness: Living life and making plans without any reference to God.

QUOTES FOR REFECTION “Intuitions come first, strategic reasoning second…. Our moral thinking is much more like a politician searching for votes than a scientist searching for truth.”~Jonathan Haidt, The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion “What the heart loves, the will chooses, and the mind justifies.”~John Ashley Null, Thomas Cranmer's Doctrine of Repentance: Renewing the Power to Love “The heart has its reasons which reason knows nothing of.”~Blaise Pascal (1623-1662), Pensées “Such is the grasping tendency of the human heart, that it must have a something to lay hold of and which, if wrested away without the substitution of another something in its place, would leave a void and a vacancy as painful to the mind, as hunger is to the natural system.”~Thomas Chalmers (1780-1847), Scottish minister, professor, and social reformer “Here's a thought for my revolutionary heartTake a deeper look at history, it's there to pick apart.See the people at the top, they get to do just what they want,‘Til after while the people at the bottom finally get smart.Then they start to holla revolution, tired of living here, destitution…See, if we destroy the system that means we'll have less of greed. But see, it's not that simple.I got to thinking ‘bout the history of human nature…Look at the power, but you know what power does to man.Corruption always leads us to the same…again.So when you talk about revolution dawg, I hear just what you saying.What good is taking over, when we know what you gon' do?The only real revolution happens right inside of you.”~J. Cole, rapper and record producer in “High for Hours” “The redeemed have all their objective good in God. God himself is the great good which they are brought to the possession and enjoyment of by redemption. He is the highest good, and the sum of all that good which Christ purchased. God is the inheritance of the saints; he is the portion of their souls. God is their wealth and treasure, their food, their Life, their dwelling-place, their ornament and diadem, and their everlasting honor and glory. …In these things the redeemed have communion with God; that is, they partake with him and of him.”~Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) in “God Glorified in Man's Dependence”SERMON PASSAGESProverbs 423 Keep your heart with all vigilance,   for from it flow the springs of life. Deuteronomy 10 12 “And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.” Mark 7 6 And [Jesus] said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written,  ‘This people honors me with their lips,  but their heart is far from me; 7 in vain do they worship me,  teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.'…” 14 And he called the people to him again and said to them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand: 15 There is nothing outside a person that by going into him can defile him, but the things that come out of a person are what defile him.… 21 For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, 22 coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. 23 All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.” Matthew 22 37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment.” Romans 1 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.

Recognizing deception, submitting to truth, and walking together in faith.The discussion centered around false teaching, legalism, and the nature of the flesh, with emphasis on the need for discernment and submission to God's truth. The conversation explored how legalism originates from false teaching and how the enemy uses deception to attack the character of God revealed through Christ.The group reflected on how each of the Gospels presents a different facet of Christ—His humanity, servitude, genealogy, and divinity—and how understanding these aspects strengthens faith and guards against error. They discussed that while the enemy cannot stop God's redemptive plan, false teaching can distort how believers experience grace.We emphasized the importance of humility, submission, and maintaining unity within the body, explaining that proper teaching protects believers from the influence of the flesh. The group also discussed the balance between resting in God's will and remaining actively submitted to His leading through the Holy Spirit.The meeting concluded with reflections on community, the importance of prayer for one another, and future direction—including prayer for God's guidance about a permanent meeting place and potential radio outreach to extend their ministry.Themes: Discerning false teaching and legalism Submitting the will to God for true rest Unity and humility within the assembly Dependence on the Holy Spirit for understanding The divine purpose of community and prayerScripture References: 2 Corinthians 4:4Reflection Question: Where might I still be striving in my own strength instead of resting in the finished work of Christ?

Europe's Energy Liberation: US Shale Ending Russian Gas Leverage Michael Bernstam with John BatchelorBatchelor highlights the irony that Russia's perceived energy leverage over Europe is dissolving, a dependence once so great that Europeans were said not to be able to turn the lights on without Russian energy. Bernstam declares that natural gas will now be in abundance, ensuring that Russia "never again will there be leverage over Europe." This shift signifies "Liberation Day for natural gas in Europe." The European Union's 19th package of sanctions is scheduled to phase out Russian pipeline gas and Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) completely by the end of 2027, with the majority phased out by the middle of 2026. The United States shale revolution is crucial, producing approximately 270 billion cubic meters of natural gas for export to Europe via established terminals, freeing Europe from Russian energy dependence.

Lamentations 3:25 The LORD is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.1. Waiting isn't WASTED.WAITING on God is a NORMAL part of the Christian life.Waiting can be NORMAL and PAINFUL at the same time.Psalm 13:1 “How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?”Psalm 13:5 But I trust in your unfailing love. 2. While you're WAITING, God is WORKING.God is developing your COMPETENCY — so you can HANDLE what'snext.Don't mistake God's PROTECTION for His REJECTION.God is developing your CHARACTER — so you can SUSTAIN what's next.Psalm 130:5 I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope.God is developing your DEPENDENCE — so you TRUST HIM MORE than you trust you.Matthew 5:3 MSG “You're blessed when you're at the end of your rope. With less of you, there's more of God.”3. God's DELAYS are not God's DENIALS.2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise… He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

To “bless the Lord” is more than praise—it’s a posture of dependence, trust, and devotion. In our daily prayer and devotional, we ponder Psalm 63, where David declares he will bless God all his days. He opens his hands, lifts his voice, remembers God’s faithfulness, sings praise, and trusts wholeheartedly—even in adversity. Blessing God begins with acknowledging our need for Him: lifting open hands in surrender, bringing our weaknesses, and asking for His help. It continues by remembering and recounting His goodness—His provision, His creativity, His unchanging character. Every moment of awe, gratitude, worship, and trust is part of blessing Him. David also models commitment in difficulty. Though threatened by enemies, he remains secure in God’s justice and faithfulness. To bless the Lord is to trust Him when we don’t understand and to live as a testimony to His steadfast love—every day, in all circumstances. Today's Bible Reading: “I will bless you as long as I live, lifting up my hands to you in prayer.”— Psalm 63:4 Key Takeaways Blessing God is both worship and reliance—lifting hands, confessing need, and giving Him praise. Remembering God’s past faithfulness helps fuel our trust in the present. True blessing continues even amid trials, when trust must be chosen over fear. A life that blesses God acknowledges His sovereignty, expresses gratitude, and pursues obedience. Let’s Pray Together God, I desire to bless You for as long as I live. I come with open hands, acknowledging I am nothing apart from You. Help me remember You always—invite You into each moment, cling to Your promises, and trust You wholeheartedly. May my life point others to Your glory. Amen.

Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, 2 which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy Scriptures, 3 concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh 4 and was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord, 5 through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations, 6 including you who are called to belong to Jesus Christ,7 To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints:Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed in all the world. 9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I mention you 10 always in my prayers, asking that somehow by God's will I may now at last succeed in coming to you. 11 For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you— 12 that is, that we may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine. 13 I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that I have often intended to come to you (but thus far have been prevented), in order that I may reap some harvest among you as well as among the rest of the Gentiles. 14 I am under obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish. 15 So I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome. 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”1.     What do you find could be shameful about the gospel or Christianity?2.     How often (if ever) does it sink in that the one perfectly righteous man ever to live had to be tortured and killed to pay for your sin and failures? What do we have to boast in?3.     How does dependence make you feel? Do you identify with the desire to prove yourself? In what areas of life do you find yourself doing that?4.      What forces, realities, habits, etc. in your life from which you cannot deliver yourself?5.     In your group, if you have the courage (!), try to share what is the deep shame at the bottom of everything you are trying to deal with or escape from.6.     Do you see in Jesus' shame that he willingly took on for you the solution to your own shame? 

This week, Pastor Nate continues our fall spiritual growth campaign through the Songs of Ascent with Psalms 122 and 123, reminding us that the Christian life is a pilgrimage that has a pattern we see repeated in these Psalms: Desperation, Dependence, Delight. Desperation because of the sin that permeates this earth, dependence on an all-sufficient God, and delight when we arrive home in His presence! In Psalm 122, King David rejoices to go to the house of the Lord, teaching us that worship is both our destination and our purpose along the way. Worship isn't based on feelings but on truth the truth of who God is. We were created for worship, and every action we take should be a living sacrifice of praise.Then, in Psalm 123, we find ourselves back at the beginning of our pilgrimage, crying out for God's mercy. Like servants looking to their master's hand, we lift our eyes in humility to the Lord. We will see that prayer is not about demanding our way but submitting to His will and trusting His justice.Whether in joy or in trial, the journey continues: from desperation to dependence to delight. So keep walking, and remember, "Further up and further in!"

“ In our society is a big assumption that what it means to be truly, fully human is to not need other people… So you face a choice: is it fundamentally a bad thing to be a person? Or, is our account of a person as ‘someone who's independent and autonomous' fundamentally untrue? And [if so] we have to make room for our genuine neediness in our account of what it means to be human and what we owe to each other.”Author Leah Libresco Sargeant joined New Kinship to talk about building community, relationships, and need. We discussed practical ways of building Christian community from her second book, Building the Benedict Option: A Guide to Gathering Two or Three Together in His Name.

John and Patrick journey into the seventeenth century, when cider wasn't just a drink - it was a matter of national survival. From John Evelyn's bold call for apple orchards to secure England's navy and replace French wine, to the early experiments that nearly made England the home of “apple champagne,” the apple takes centre stage in politics, science, and patriotism.But apples weren't only about orchards and fizz. This was also the age when John Milton transformed them into the forbidden fruit of Eden, when physicians and quacks alike prescribed them as medicine and beauty aids, and when settlers carried them across the Atlantic to the New World. There, apples and cider became woven into the fabric of colonial life - fueling households, politics, and survival itself.From Restoration England to early America, discover how the apple evolved into both symbol and staple, preparing the stage for one of history's most legendary figures: Johnny Appleseed.----------In Sponsorship with Cornell University: Dyson Cornell SC Johnson College of Business-----------Join the History of Fresh Produce Club for ad-free listening, bonus episodes, book discounts and access to an exclusive chatroom community.Support us!Share this episode with your friendsGive a 5-star ratingWrite a review -----------Subscribe to our biweekly newsletter here for extra stories related to recent episodes, book recommendations, a sneak peek of upcoming episodes and more.-----------Step into history - literally!

Summary: In this episode, Dr. Michael Easley welcomes Dr. E. Calvin Beisner, founder of the Cornwall Alliance, for a conversation on creation care, energy, and biblical stewardship. Together, they challenge the myths of “green energy,” pointing out the hidden costs and environmental damage often overlooked with wind and solar power. Dr. Beisner explains how chemicals and medications enter the water supply and highlights the inconsistency of environmental movements that ignore certain pollutants while amplifying others. He critiques the flawed “linear no threshold” principle in toxicology, showing how it fails both scientifically and logically. The discussion also focuses on practical stewardship—recycling, waste management, and the need for engineering innovation. Dr. Beisner urges young Christians to pursue STEM fields as a way to serve God and address real-world challenges. From energy grid reliability to the promise of small nuclear plants, and even the looming threat of EMP attacks, the conversation underscores the need for wise, forward-thinking solutions. Ultimately, Dr. Easley and Dr. Beisner remind listeners that stewardship is not driven by fear or ideology. Instead, it flows from Scripture: caring for creation with wisdom, truth, and hope in Christ. Takeaways Stewardship requires wisdom rooted in Scripture, not fear-driven environmental ideology. “Green energy” promises often mask hidden costs that harm both creation and human flourishing. Christians must think critically about environmental claims instead of adopting cultural talking points. Innovation and engineering offer God-honoring solutions to waste, energy, and sustainability challenges. Dependence on unreliable energy sources leaves society vulnerable to crises with serious national security risks. True hope for creation care is found not in policy or technology, but in Christ and faithful stewardship. LINKS MENTIONED: The Cornwall Alliance  Climate and Energy: The Case For Realism by Dr. E.

Worship isn't just the songs we sing. It's the surrender of our lives to God. In Romans 1:1–17, Paul reveals that true worship begins with the gospel. When we see God's power for salvation, it changes how we live, what we value, and whom we serve.Worship is an offering, Worship is war for our allegiance, Worship is absolute dependence on God. As Bowman reminds us, our worship flows from what God has already done for us through Jesus Christ - His perfect offering on our behalf. When the gospel grips our hearts, it leads us to thankful obedience, joyful dependence, and a life that glorifies Him.Here are some things we'll learn:· What is worship? Worship can be defined as a response to what the Creator has revealed to His creation.· Worship is not about us, but it's about Jesus, the Word of God, at the center of everything we do in all of life.· How salvation leads to transformed worship and renewed service.· Why our hearts are constantly at war between flesh and Spirit and how Christ wins that war.· How dependence on God shapes our gratitude, prayer, and obedience.· What it looks like to offer our lives as living sacrifices in everyday worship.Support our mission and learn more atwww.alloflife.churchGive to the work of the gospel herewww.alloflife.churchcenter.com/giving

We reflected on the importance of spiritual preparation, humility, and submission before God, emphasizing that true growth begins when excuses end. Through the story of Adam and Eve, we examined how blame and avoidance separate believers from God's presence, while Christ—the second Adam—restores access to divine fellowship. The discussion centered on the need for daily preparation, both at home and in heart, before gathering to hear the Word. We explored how regular attendance, unity in the body, and face-to-face fellowship cultivate humility, accountability, and spiritual maturity. Testimonies highlighted God's faithful protection and love, reminding us that spiritual freedom is found in submission, not independence.Themes:Preparation and prayer are essential before receiving the Word (Psalm 10:17; Luke 18:1)The first Adam brought excuses; the second Adam, Christ, brought restoration (Genesis 3; 1 Corinthians 15:45)Excuses hinder growth and intimacy with God (John 15:22)Spiritual maturity requires humility and accountability within the local assembly (Ephesians 4:11–16)Daily gathering for spiritual nourishment mirrors Israel's dependence on manna (Exodus 16:4–5)True submission begins with order and obedience in the home (1 Corinthians 11:3)God's presence exposes hidden areas to bring cleansing and renewal (Psalm 119:25; Genesis 3:8)Dependence on God over self-reliance leads to transformation and peace (2 Timothy 1:7)Face-to-face ministry brings depth, unity, and power that virtual connection cannot replace (Hebrews 10:25)God's protection and love remain steadfast through obedience and community prayerScripture References: Genesis 3; 1 Corinthians 15:45; John 15:22; Exodus 16:4–5; Psalm 119:25; 1 Corinthians 11:3; 2 Timothy 1:7; Ephesians 4:11–16; Hebrews 10:25; Luke 18:1Reflection Question: What excuses or distractions might be keeping me from full submission and preparation to receive God's Word and walk in His presence daily?

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com    I want to get back to a couple of things I shared in my last podcast in regards to making extra money… and then we will shift gears.    List a 100 things… in any area, but especially money. I have a list on my phone of ways to make extra money… when I think of an idea I write it down. I can't act on all of them, but I keep a list for future options.  Smaller is better - big gym, small gym     Secondly I believe what Bill Johnson says “Lack does not illustrate humility. Blessing and riches managed according to Gods grace illustrate humility.”    Is it easier to sin if you are poor or if you are rich… I know people in both situations.. its the same. I have been in both situations - the struggles are the same. Dependence on God has nothing to do with how much you have or don't have.    Someone asked me do you think God wants you rich?  Does God want you rich? Does God want you to have a great sex life?  

In this week's message from Everyday Mission, we see two sides of the early church—radical generosity and sobering deceit. In Acts 4:32–5:11, the Holy Spirit empowers a community marked by grace, unity, and dependence on God, while also revealing the danger of hypocrisy and self-promotion. The gospel calls us to live open-handed lives, trusting that everything we have belongs to Him. When God's Spirit transforms our hearts, generosity becomes more than giving—it becomes worship.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.orgConnect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!Instagram: @integrity_churchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/liveintegrity/For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!
