Send us a textIn this episode, I explore some of the ideas presented in Howard Thurman's 1949 book, "Jesus and the Disinherited." Bo Aganaba (host of the GoodBeing Podcast) first told me about Thurman and this book (a huge inspiration for MLK Jr.) when I interviewed him back in December. The Baptist minister's thoughts on fear, deception, hate, and love are just as relevant today as they were when he wrote them. I apply some of Thurman's ideas to what's happening in the political realm right now, and of course I can't help but apply others to the work I do as a leader and member of interpersonal process groups. "A complete and devastating sincerity," anyone? Don't mind if I do!

This case discusses why the court ruled that the daughter of the decedent, who was specifically disinherited in the decedent's will, was entitled to her entire estate. This demonstrates how important will drafting can be.

Marisa concludes our discussion about Jesus as truth through the lens of Howard Thurman's book, "Jesus and the Disinherited."

Join Emily Perry for an exploration of "Jesus and the Disinherited through the lens of A Course in Miracles." Inspired by Howard Thurman's seminal work that shaped the spiritual foundation of the American Civil Rights Movement, this sermon dives into the profound connections between Jesus' teachings, nonviolence, and social justice. In this message, you'll discover how Thurman's insights illuminate Jesus as a figure of liberation for the oppressed, offering a path from fear, deceit, and hate to faith, integrity, and love. You'll also learn the ways Thurman's wisdom overlaps with the teachings of A Course in Miracles, particularly in its call to transcend inner darkness with love and forgiveness as a force for personal and collective transformation. If you've ever wondered how spirituality can meaningfully address social injustice or how faith can inspire true transformation, this message is for you. This sermon was delivered by Emily Perry at a Circle of Atonement Sunday Gathering, which are free and open to all and held on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of each month.

Matt discusses the social and religious heritage of Jesus and his revolutionary insights through the lens of Howard Thurman's book, “Jesus and the Disinherited.”

From Hadran's Siyum Masechet Bava Batra

An illuminating history of religious and political controversy in nineteenth-century Bengal, where Protestant missionary activity spurred a Christian conversion “panic” that indelibly shaped the trajectory of Hindu and Muslim politics. In 1813, the British Crown adopted a policy officially permitting Protestant missionaries to evangelize among the empire's Indian subjects. The ramifications proved enormous and long-lasting. While the number of conversions was small—Christian converts never represented more than 1.5 percent of India's population during the nineteenth century—Bengal's majority faith communities responded in ways that sharply politicized religious identity, leading to the permanent ejection of religious minorities from Indian ideals of nationhood. Mou Banerjee details what happened as Hindus and Muslims grew increasingly suspicious of converts, missionaries, and evangelically minded British authorities. Fearing that converts would subvert resistance to British imperialism, Hindu and Muslim critics used their influence to define the new Christians as a threatening “other” outside the bounds of authentic Indian selfhood. The meaning of conversion was passionately debated in the burgeoning sphere of print media, and individual converts were accused of betrayal and ostracized by their neighbors. Yet, Banerjee argues, the effects of the panic extended far beyond the lives of those who suffered directly. As Christian converts were erased from the Indian political community, that community itself was reconfigured as one consecrated in faith. While India's emerging nationalist narratives would have been impossible in the absence of secular Enlightenment thought, the evolution of cohesive communal identity was also deeply entwined with suspicion toward religious minorities. Recovering the perspectives of Indian Christian converts as well as their detractors, The Disinherited: The Politics of Christian Conversion in Colonial India (Harvard UP, 2025) is an eloquent account of religious marginalization that helps to explain the shape of Indian nationalist politics in today's era of Hindu majoritarianism. Arighna Gupta is a doctoral candidate in history at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. His dissertation attempts to trace early-colonial genealogies of popular sovereignty located at the interstices of monarchical, religious, and colonial sovereignties in India and present-day Bangladesh.

The Sons of Avraham - Designated or DisinheritedWebsite: http://www.battle4freedom.com/Network: https://www.mojo50.comStreaming: https://www.rumble.com/Battle4Freedomhttps://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2037%3A29&version=CJBPsalm 37:29The righteous will inherit the land and live in it foreverGenesis 25https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=genesis%2025&version=CJBGenesis 25:1-4Avraham took another wife, whose name was K'turah. She bore him Zimran, Yokshan, Medan, Midyan, Yishbak; and Shuach. Yokshan fathered Sh'va and D'dan. The sons of D'dan were Ashurim, L'tushim and L'umim. The sons of Midyan were 'Eifah, 'Efer, Hanokh, Avida and Elda'ah. All these were descendants of K'turah.Genesis 25:5-6Avraham gave everything he owned to Yitz'chak. But to the sons of the concubines he made grants while he was still living and sent them off to the east, to the land of Kedem, away from Yitz'chak his son.Genesis 25:7-11This is how long Avraham lived: 175 years. Then Avraham breathed his last, dying at a ripe old age, an old man full of years; and he was gathered to his people. Yitz'chak and Yishma'el his sons buried him in the cave of Makhpelah, in the field of 'Efron the son of Tzochar the Hitti, by Mamre, the field which Avraham purchased from the sons of Het. Avraham was buried there with Sarah his wife. After Avraham died, G_d blessed Yitz'chak his son, and Yitz'chak lived near Be'er-Lachai-Ro'i.Genesis 25:12-18Here is the genealogy of Yishma'el, Avraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian woman bore to Avraham. These are the names of the sons of Yishma'el, listed in the order of their birth. The firstborn of Yishma'el was N'vayot; followed by Kedar, Adbe'el, Mivsam, Mishma, Dumah, Massa, Hadad, Teima, Y'tur, Nafish and Kedmah. (Maftir) These are the sons of Yishma'el, and these are their names, according to their settlements and camps, twelve tribal rulers. This is how long Yishma'el lived: 137 years. Then he breathed his last, died and was gathered to his people. Yishma'el's sons lived between Havilah and Shur, near Egypt as you go toward Ashur; he settled near all his kinsmen.Why do we treat Ishmael like Cain?Genesis 25:19-23Here is the history of Yitz'chak, Avraham's son. Avraham fathered Yitz'chak. Yitz'chak was forty years old when he took Rivkah, the daughter of B'tu'el the Arami from Paddan-Aram and sister of Lavan the Arami, to be his wife. Yitz'chak prayed to Adonai on behalf of his wife, because she was childless. Adonai heeded his prayer, and Rivkah became pregnant. The children fought with each other inside her so much that she said, "If it's going to be like this, why go on living?" So she went to inquire of Adonai, who answered her, "There are two nations in your womb. From birth they will be two rival peoples. One of these peoples will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger."Genesis 25:24-26When the time for her delivery came, there were twins in her womb. The first to come out was reddish and covered all over with hair, like a coat; so they named him 'Esav [completely formed, that is, having hair already]. Then his brother emerged, with his hand holding 'Esav's heel, so he was called Ya'akov [he catches by the heel, he supplants]. Yitz'chak was sixty years old when she bore them.Genesis 25:27-28The boys grew; and 'Esav became a skillful hunter, an outdoorsman; while Ya'akov was a quiet man who stayed in the tents. Yitz'chak favored 'Esav, because he had a taste for game; Rivkah favored Ya'akov.Genesis 25:29-34One day when Ya'akov had cooked some stew, 'Esav came in from the open country, exhausted, and said to Ya'akov, "Please! Let me gulp down some of that red stuff — that red stuff! I'm exhausted!" (This is why he was called Edom [red].) Ya'akov answered, "First sell me your rights as the firstborn." "Look, I'm about to die!" said 'Esav. "What use to me are my rights as the firstborn?" Ya'akov said, "First, swear to me!" So he swore to him, thus selling his birthright to Ya'akov. Then Ya'akov gave him bread and lentil stew; he ate and drank, got up and went on his way. Thus 'Esav showed how little he valued his birthright.

Tune in for a “Cautionary Tales" episode! This week's episode is a "cautionary tale" where we talk about successful stories where people have chosen to disinherit a loved one (i.e. a child) in an estate plan. Sources and episode transcript can be found at: https://www.legalteapodcast.com/podcast.

God is never pleased with superficial adherence to His commands. Too many focus on their personal salvation rather than living daily in covenant faithfulness to God and His covenant law. Biblical history tells us there comes a time of judgment. Are we there?

Is America Being Disinherited by God?

Howard Thurman was the great behind-the-scenes spiritual leader of America's civil rights movement. Martin Luther King was said to carry a copy of Thurman's Jesus and the Disinherited with him for inspiration on each march. But Thurman starts by being among the great nature mystics in the Christian tradition. Why do you (like everyone) love nature so much? For Thurman, that's part of how we create that strong inner self that so influenced King and others.Mentioned on this podcast:What Makes You Come Alive: A Spiritual Walk with Howard Thurman, by Lerita Coleman Brown

Howard Thurman was one of the greatest preachers, writers, and mystics of the 20th century. His book “Jesus and the Disinherited” was a landmark work that invited us to see Jesus on the side of the oppressed, and inspired us to work through non-violent means to bring justice and social change. Every day, Thurman read Psalm 139, as a source of strength and courage, and verses 13-18 capture the intimate relationship he sought to have with God. HydeParkUMC.org/NextStepsReflection Questions:1. What group or person is it most difficult for you? How might you practice seeing the divine in them?2. How have you or will you build a relationship with the disinherited?3. How can you dismantle discrimination? Specifically, what action will you take?

With the Treaty of Troyes, the English and Burgundians have come together to defeat the Dauphinists. But that's easier said than done, once the actual work of war and conquest began, difficulties popped up almost immediately. Time Period Covered: 1421-1422 Notable People: Philip the Good, Henry V of England, Charles VI of France, Charles VII of France, Jacques d'Harcourt, Tanneguy du Chatel, John Stewart Earl of Buchan, Richard Beauchamp Earl of Warwick Notable Events/Developments: Creation of the Army of Scotland, Battle of Bauge, Rebellion of Jacques d'Harcourt, Battle of Mons-en-Vimeu, Fall of La Charite to the Dauphinists

Talk about accelerated development. Robert the Bruce's son David is already a married ‘man' at four (his wife was a positively elderly seven-year-old), then at 5, after his father's death, he becomes a king. He's barely old enough to look after a hamster. Before you know it, the Balliols sniff an opportunity and are back. They crown their heir at Scone as Edward I, King of Scots. The nearly-deposed little King and Queen are in terrible danger and flee to France.The Bruce dynasty now fights for its survival against two Edwards on the Scottish and English thrones, plus a peeved force known as ‘The Disinherited', the Lords and Barons who sided against Robert Bruce. Castles will be defended by ladies on either side - the gallant Christian Bruce at Kildrummy, her Balliol counterpart Katherine Beaumont at the island fortress of Lochindorb. Eventually oor Edward I gets caught napping and is ambushed in his nightshirt. English Eddie realises that Scottish Eddie is another Balliol Bust and his support subsides. Scotland has turned into a war zone, famine follows fighting and innocent peasants pay the price for their overlords' ambition. Winter has definitely come.Meanwhile, over in France, David is growing up and learning siege-craft. The gallant Bruce fightback has brought Edward's enemies to the table and the French king brokers a deal. David and his young wife Queen Joan finally land back in Scotland at Inverbervie, north of Montrose, on 2 June 1341. They think it's all over. But oh! It's definitely not!Presenters: Len Pennie and Susan Morrison Producers: Louise Yeoman and Lynsey Moyes Executive Producer: Peter McManus Music & Sound Design: Gav Murchie Commissioning editor for BBC Scotland: Gareth Hydes

In this episode, Kara Gonzalez-Howard reflects on what it means to pursue peace & demonstrate love in times of war & great cultural divide. On a subject that is fraught with very loud and very binary points of view, Kara teaches us about the importance of moving in the world in ways that inspire peace rather than division. Excerpts from this episode are read from the text “Jesus and the Disinherited” by Howard Thurman. We encourage you to explore this text on your own for an immersive learning experience into a time that has deep parallels to our current hour. >>>WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/5jjqUZknF38 ***RESOURCES*** PURCHASE THE BOOK FROM THIS EPISODE: https://www.amazon.com/Jesus-Disinherited-Howard-Thurman/dp/0807024031/ref=asc_df_0807024031/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=532779770075&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16050740442264035938&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9016308&hvtargid=pla-1457987438358&psc=1. >>>>> >>>Get your free Energy of Personality Profile with our 5-question reflection quiz: https://bit.ly/energyofpersonality -Download and use your own copy of the "Energy of Personality" celebrity mood board Canva template: https://bit.ly/canvapersonalitytemplate >>>Visit our official website for more resources: www.educatoraide.com #communication #culture #podcast #psychology #workplace #education #crosscultural #culturalempathy #selfawareness #personality #personaldevelopment #professional #professionaldevelopment #popculture #celebrities #mood #culturalawareness --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/educatoraide/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/educatoraide/support
