“When wallets hurt, the truth matters.”

Listen to 139 Future Now Show  We got a bit into the Altman murder mystery case for starters, big excitement in the tech universe, followed by our explorations of Ara’s upgrade to Grok 4.1.  One of her improvements supposed to be an “Emotional Intelligence” boost, which we wanted to check out, along with her knowledge of how consciousness works..you know… via neural microtubules, phase locked time crystals, and a touch of autistic alignment.. We then delve a bit into the worlds of Epstein, given the country’s current obsession, and explore what he was actually funding and why..This conversation is book ended with a discussion of the AJ and Hecklefish, of the Why Files, on decoding Psyops and how they work. And between our bookends, a little news about digital twins and talking to dead relatives, plus a little space news on what we just launched to Mars, growing space lettuce, and some big money for planning the Space Force’s first Spacecraft Carrier, capable of launching satellites, spy probes, interceptor drones, and oh, I don’t know, space lasers…  And in the bio-reguvenation department, we take a peak at Henagliflozin, for your telemere health. Enjoy! Today’s show topics..

Discover an incredible story of survival and thriving on the Heal Yourself podcast as I interview 84-year-old John A. Brink, who went from surviving Nazi-occupied Holland to becoming a CEO, philanthropist and the oldest competitive bodybuilder in North America. John reveals his secrets to health, longevity and a powerful mindset, including the daily routines and diet that keep him thriving and why he considers his late-in-life ADHD diagnosis a "superpower." This is a must-listen for inspiration on resilience, health and aging without fear.Time Stamps 11:04 A Daily Gratitude Mindset: John starts every day at 5:30 AM by going outside and declaring, "I'm in paradise." He emphasizes that counting his blessings and maintaining a positive, grateful attitude is a critical part of his mental and emotional wellness.13:55 A Life-Threatening Wake-Up Call: A severe case of diverticulitis in 2008 became a major turning point for his health. The condition breached, causing toxins to spread and his doctor later told him he "came this close" to death. He took this as a "message" to get serious about his health.15:17 Proactive Diet Transformation: Following his health crisis, John became more proactive, adopting his wife's more vegetarian-focused lifestyle and moving from an "80/20" to a "90/10" approach to healthy eating.15:41 Embracing Fitness in His Late 60s: John became serious about personal fitness. He hired a trainer and began working out 3-4 times a week, proving it's never too late to start. This new passion eventually led him to bodybuilding.23:34 Finding His "Superpower" in ADHD: At age 62, John discovered a book called "Driven to Distraction" and realized he had ADHD. Instead of seeing it as a liability (which had caused him to fail school), he reframed it as his "superpower," crediting it for his strategic thinking and success.26:34 The Importance of Downtime: John schedules downtime and flies to Vancouver Island every Friday afternoon to spend the weekend relaxing with his wife and their seven horses, emphasizing that recovery is crucial.31:52 Overcoming Addiction: John shares that in 1992, his wife "hit him with a 2x4 across the head" (metaphorically) and "dumped him" as a wake-up call. This event prompted him to stop drinking, smoking and taking prescribed Xanax all within one week.36:48 John's tip for healthy ageing is to understand your body and have a good mindset.John's Bio Born in 1940 in Nazi-occupied Holland, John A. Brink survived war, hunger, and hardship before emigrating to Canada in 1965 with just $25.47. He founded Brink Forest Products in 1975, now North America's leading value-added wood manufacturer. At 84, he leads the Brink Group of Companies and hosts ON THE BRINK, a top 1% global podcast. A fierce advocate for ADHD awareness, John is also a philanthropist, pledging $1M to the College of New Caledonia. His achievements earned him the Order of B.C., an Honorary Doctorate, and the King Charles III Coronation Medal in 2025.

Is the mobile phone becoming the dominate side dish during meals out? A top new resturant in London's Mayfair is banning phones in a bid to encourage diners to immerse themselves in the dining and social experience without device distraction. So is it a thing here? Auckland restaurant owner and chef Al Brown spoke to Lisa Owen.

On today’s explosive episode of Stinchfield, Grant lays out a disturbing truth the media refuses to touch: the Department of Justice is about to give us the saucy, click-bait Epstein files — the tabloid junk meant to distract the public. But the real intel, the real power, the real dirt isn’t sitting at DOJ at all. It’s buried deep inside the State Department and the CIA, locked away in vaults we will likely never be allowed to see. Grant walks you through his conclusion: Jeffrey Epstein wasn’t just some rogue pervert with a private island — he was paid hundreds of millions of dollars as a foreign agent working for the United States government. His mission?A two-pronged operation:• Blackmail high-profile individuals across business, academia, and politics• Gather intelligence on wealthy foreign leaders, especially throughout the Middle East It was a covert influence network so valuable that the deepest parts of our intel community will do anything to keep it sealed. Epstein wasn’t just connected — he was useful, and that’s why the truth remains hidden behind layers of classified protection. Today, Grant exposes the government’s strategy, the motives behind the limited “document dump,” and why the State Department and CIA remain the final black boxes in the Epstein saga. https://GrantLovesGold.com www.EnergizedHealth.com/Grant www.PatriotMobile.com/Grant Https://Twc.Health/Grant Use "Grant" for 10% Off See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

MAGAISM/BRO CULTURE CRONYISM/CEOs RULE!/ELONISMI am deeply ashamed': Larry Summers to step back from public commitments after new Epstein emails Senator Elizabeth Warren: “[Summers] cannot be trusted to advise our nation's politicians, policymakers and institutions — or teach a generation of students at Harvard or anywhere else.”And an unidentified Trump administration official told Politico that companies and organizations should end their association with Summers.The former Treasury secretary, along with Bill Clinton and the Democratic megadonor Reid Hoffman, are among the Democratic figures whom the Justice Department is investigating over Epstein ties — at President Trump's behest.Economist Warns That Trump's Investments in the Tech Industry Could Crash the Whole EconomyItalian economist Mariana Mazzucato, a University College London economics professor:“I think the kind of capitalism Trump has is crony capitalism.”“I would describe crony capitalism as Mafia-like. You're showing your upper hand. You're handing out favors to some. But then divide and conquer. Picking and choosing without a particular strategy.”She argues that the Intel deal is poorly designed because it doesn't have any conditions to incentivize the company to be build new products, while the government simply acts as a passive investor.All SNAP recipients required to reapply as Trump admin cracks down on fraud: 'Business as usual is over'‍ ‍SEC to Allow Companies to Block Shareholder ProposalsThe U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced that it will not express opinions to requests from companies asking to exclude shareholder proposals from their proxy voting materials during the 2025-2026 proxy season, effectively allowing companies to avoid voting on issues proposed by investors such as climate, sustainability and diversity at annual meetings.

The heart must be purged, as well as the temple was by our Saviour, of the thieves that would rob God of his due worship. Antiquity had some temples, wherein it was a crime to bring any gold; therefore those that came to worship laid their gold aside before they went into the temple. We should lay aside our worldly and trading thoughts before we address to worship: Isa. 26:9, 'With my spirit within me will I seek thee early.' Let not our minds be gadding abroad, and exiled from God and themselves.

The government shutdown is over.  The Epstein files are back on the front page.  And I'm back to rant it out and fire you up.Get it on!Love,-T

Today, we stop relying on fleeting motivation and tap into the core of willpower. Distraction is often simply the path of least resistance, requiring significant energy to overcome. Our energetic focus on the Manipura Chakra (Solar Plexus) cultivates a strong, steady inner fire. This is the source of self-discipline, giving you the internal strength required to push through the initial discomfort of high-value work and make your commitment to focus truly non-negotiable. This is day 5 of a 7-day meditation series, "Rewiring Your Attention Span for Laser Focus & Deep Work," episodes 3409-3419. YOUR WEEKLY CHALLENGE: The 10-minute Friction Fighter When the craving hits, do not touch the device. Immediately perform The Neural Navigator Breath and assume the Hakini Mudra for 60 seconds. Set a mental or physical timer for 10 minutes. This challenge uses behavioral conditioning to increase your brain's craving tolerance. By intentionally delaying the dopamine hit, you weaken the immediate reward circuit, making high-value, sustained tasks (like Deep Work) feel less effortful and more naturally rewarding over time. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY  Welcome to Dopamine Detox: Rewiring Your Attention Span for Laser Focus & Deep Work! If you feel like your attention is constantly being held hostage—pulled between notifications, endless tabs, and the relentless urge to scroll—you are not alone. In our hyper-stimulated world, distraction isn't a moral failing; it's a chemical problem. Your brain has been systematically trained by technology to seek out the tiny, instant gratification hits of dopamine that low-value tasks provide. This constant craving leaves you exhausted, scattered, and stuck in the restless loop of the Default Mode Network (DMN), making true, high-quality concentration feel impossible. This week, we are fighting fire with Neuroplasticity. This 7-day series isn't just about trying harder; it's about giving your brain a complete reboot. We will introduce targeted, science-backed meditation tools that strategically decrease your brain's dependence on instant hits and build the myelin sheaths required for Deep Work. By the end of this journey, you will have moved from reacting to distraction to proactively commanding your focus. You will build an unbreakable internal system that allows you to bypass analysis paralysis, overcome the resistance of starting difficult tasks, and enter the elusive Flow State on demand. Get ready to transform your attention span from a liability into your most powerful competitive advantage. Day 1:  Release Fear Visualization Day 2:  Affirmation: "I am present, focused, and my attention is my superpower." Day 3:  Neural Navigator Breath Day 4:  Hakini mudra for focus Day 5:  Third Chakra for Clarity Day 6:  Mental Focus Flow meditation, combining the week's techniques Day 7:  Weekly review meditation and closure SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

Rachel Cunliffe teaches us about transforming a cluttered website into a calm, focused space that serves both you and your readers. Rachel is the founder of Cre8d Design, a web design and development studio that helps creators and businesses build websites that are beautiful, clean, user-friendly, and fast. Cre8d has worked in the space for over two decades, specializing in custom WordPress design, audience experience, and content strategy. At Cre8d, the team partners closely with clients to clarify their goals, organize their content, and create websites that genuinely reflect who they are and that people love to use. Their work blends thoughtful design, modern tech, and a deep respect for the people behind the websites. Over time, even the best food blogs start to feel like overstuffed pantries: too many ingredients, not enough order. Web designer Rachel Cunliffe joins us to explain how to know when it's time for a redesign and how to approach it with clarity, calm, and intention. She breaks down the process of simplifying your site, creating a distraction-free reader experience, and reclaiming the joy in your digital space. This is your invitation to pause, tidy up, and let your creativity breathe again. Key points discussed include: Trust your gut: If your site feels messy, your readers feel it too. Design for calm: People crave clarity, not chaos - keep it simple and focused. Your website is your pantry: Take everything out, organize what matters, toss what's expired. Pop-ups aren't the enemy, but timing matters: Be intentional about when and where you use them. Write like a human again: Authentic stories connect faster than optimized fluff. Your brand should evolve: Outdated design can quietly hold you back. Simplify the tech: A site that's easy to update keeps you consistent and confident. Distraction-free = trust: The cleaner the experience, the stronger the connection. Connect with Rachel Cunliffe Website | Instagram

Fresh off the road from Cocoa Beach, Jon Herold returns to The Daily Herold with stories from GART 10, a 29-hour road trip, and a fiery rundown of the week's chaos. He unpacks the latest government shutdown bill, exposing how the Senate quietly inserted a clause to shield itself from subpoenas and even backdate lawsuits for profit. From SNAP benefits to anti-communism week, Jon covers it all with sharp humor and righteous frustration. The episode then shifts to Trump's controversial H1B visa comments, sparking a spirited breakdown of America First principles, global labor, and media manipulation. Featuring clips from Kristi Noem and Steve Bannon, Jon dissects how Trump's rhetoric tests loyalty and ignites critical debate. The show closes with updates on the new Epstein emails, the Clinton Foundation's corruption trail, and fresh cracks in Israel's official October 7 narrative. Funny, insightful, and unapologetically real, Jon reminds listeners why tuning out the noise can bring the clearest truth.

The world record for fastest pit stop—a mere 1.8 seconds—was set by the McLaren F1 Team at the Qatar Grand Prix in 2023. It's an incredible feat of speed and choreography; a pit stop that fast can't happen without a team of people operating at peak human performance. But as Dan Keyworth explains, AI plays a crucial role, too. As the Director of Business Technology at McLaren Racing, Dan is responsible for helping the whole team perform at their best—and that starts with having the right tools. Whether it's the firehose of sensor data coming off a race car, video analysis of the pit crew in action, or marketing analytics for the next Grand Prix, AI helps the McLaren F1 Team make the right decisions—and make them fast.On this episode, Dan talks about the importance of getting simple answers from complex data, how they use Dropbox Dash, and why we shouldn't think of AI as labor replacement so much as laborious replacement.You can learn more about the McLaren F1 Team at mclaren.com/racing/formula-1.

On Day 2, we tackle the internal monologue. True, effortless focus begins with identity. If you constantly tell yourself you're easily distracted, your brain works hard to prove you right. Today, we're using the power of affirmation to embed a new self-image into your subconscious. Get ready to release the belief that focus is hard, and anchor into the truth: 'I am present, focused, and my attention is my superpower,' shifting your internal identity away from effort and toward effortless alignment." This is day 2 of a 7-day meditation series, "Rewiring Your Attention Span for Laser Focus & Deep Work," episodes 3409-3419. YOUR WEEKLY CHALLENGE: The 10-minute Friction Fighter When the craving hits, do not touch the device. Immediately perform The Neural Navigator Breath and assume the Hakini Mudra for 60 seconds. Set a mental or physical timer for 10 minutes. this challenge uses behavioral conditioning to increase your brain's craving tolerance. By intentionally delaying the dopamine hit, you weaken the immediate reward circuit, making high-value, sustained tasks (like Deep Work) feel less effortful and more naturally rewarding over time. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY  Welcome to Dopamine Detox: Rewiring Your Attention Span for Laser Focus & Deep Work! If you feel like your attention is constantly being held hostage—pulled between notifications, endless tabs, and the relentless urge to scroll—you are not alone. In our hyper-stimulated world, distraction isn't a moral failing; it's a chemical problem. Your brain has been systematically trained by technology to seek out the tiny, instant gratification hits of dopamine that low-value tasks provide. This constant craving leaves you exhausted, scattered, and stuck in the restless loop of the Default Mode Network (DMN), making true, high-quality concentration feel impossible. This week, we are fighting fire with Neuroplasticity. This 7-day series isn't just about trying harder; it's about giving your brain a complete reboot. We will introduce targeted, science-backed meditation tools that strategically decrease your brain's dependence on instant hits and build the myelin sheaths required for Deep Work. By the end of this journey, you will have moved from reacting to distraction to proactively commanding your focus. You will build an unbreakable internal system that allows you to bypass analysis paralysis, overcome the resistance of starting difficult tasks, and enter the elusive Flow State on demand. Get ready to transform your attention span from a liability into your most powerful competitive advantage. Day 1:  Release Fear Visualization Day 2:  Affirmation: "I am present, focused, and my attention is my superpower." Day 3:  Neural Navigator Breath Day 4:  Hakini mudra for focus Day 5:  Third Chakra for Clarity Day 6:  Mental Focus Flow meditation, combining the week's techniques Day 7:  Weekly review meditation and closure SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

Listen as Pastor Rob McCoy—Charlie Kirk's pastor and close friend—addresses the conspiracy theories targeting those closest to Charlie, explains why Christians must reject speculation and "vain babbling," and issues an urgent call to pastors about the moment we're in.Charlie Kirk discipled an entire generation out of intellectual slavery. He gave them biblical confidence and taught them how to think. Now, in the aftermath of his death, Christians are being swept into conspiracy theories instead of focusing on what God is doing through this tragedy. Pastor Rob explains why this is spiritual warfare, how to maintain biblical peace amid chaos, and why this revival will fail without proper discipleship.✅ YOU'LL LEARN:How to apply 2 Timothy 2:14-17 to conspiracy theories and speculationWhy joy (not happiness) and peace (not absence of conflict) matter nowThe Moses/Joshua framework: Charlie freed them, pastors must lead themWhy the Jesus Movement had massive conversions but zero cultural impactWhat discipleship (not conversion) actually looks like in practice

All the text for this video and then some is below. Also See the Perfect PrisonerMark Twain once said, “A fool doesn't argue for truth. He argues to feed his pride. He will twist your logic mock your calm and drag you down to his level then beat you with experience. You can't teach someone who wears ignorance like armor. The more you respond the more you validate his madness. Don't wrestle pigs in the mud, they enjoy it, and you walk away filthy. Silence isn't weakness it is power. Let the fool shout, his own words will bury him deeper than you ever could.”This echos my mantra, the best way to deal with an attention w***e is to deprive them of attention. Modern society is in a tough situation. Sensationalism is monetized and truth telling is censored. Over time the entire stage is taken over by clowns.If we continue to reward the clowns for temporary escapism, if the societal rot is avoided rather than addressed, our mental decay will become irreversible. Improvement isn't fun nor is it instant. How does one move the inertia of the heard? The field of donkeys with their heads in the sand lost in a haze of Netflix, porn, gossip, endless gaming, is seen from above as just rows of ignorant un-moving a******s. But they will kick you if you disturb them.When poison is made to taste like honey the fool will fight to keep it. The alcoholic clings to his destroyer like a baby bottle. The scroller feels naked without their phone. Take away the constant virtual reality and drugs and most people are bored with who they are for they are no one and are unsatisfied with real relationships for they made none. So back to the noise they will go, cursing anyone who interrupts them.Self deceivers will always hate the one that tells them the truth, for truth violently destroys falsehoods they have attached their identities to. A lie injures the intelligent. The truth hurts the confident but wrong.As Socrates said, “It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows. The mind once sealed by arrogance becomes deaf to truth and blind to growth. Knowledge doesn't enter a cup that believes itself full. It spills. It is wasted. The greatest barrier to wisdom isn't ignorance, it is the illusion of understanding. Until a man humbles his certainty, he'll mistake noise for insight and ego for intellect.”Too much attention makes a donkey think he's a lion. And that is the sickness of our age. We feed fools with applause until they begin to believe their own delusions. A crown of noise sits heavier than a crown of gold. Yet every ignorant man craves it. They mistake visibility for value and noise for nobility. The donkey when surrounded by cheers forgets what he is. He begins to roar in his own mind. But strip away the crown, silence the claps and you'll hear only the Hee-Haw of mediocrity. Attention in excess is poison. “I'm a 10” is one of the by products of this insanity.It blinds the weak, corrupts the average and flatters the undeserving. The wise finds respect in truth, the fool seeks validation in volume.”Aristotle said, “The wise seek reason, the fool seeks approval.” The clown seeks attention, I will add.“No one is more hated that he who speaks the truth, for Truth is a mirror that exposes the ugliness men spend their lives trying to conceal. A ruler who feeds his people illusions is loved, but one who strips away their delusions is despised. For men prefer to be comforted by falsehoods than confronted by reality. The truth does not inspire gratitude. It inspires resentment. To reveal truth is to wound pride. And pride is defended more fiercely than kingdoms.Understand this, the world rewards deception with loyalty and condemns honesty with exile. Therefore if you choose to speak truth, do so knowing you will walk alone, armed not with applause but with contempt. Yet in that solitude lies a darker kind of power, the knowledge that while men hate you, they can not silence the reality you have spoken.” - Plato“You can beat 40 scholars with one fact but you can't beat one fool with 40 facts. For wisdom bows before truth. But ignorance kneels only to its own delusion. A scholar listens, weighs and yields when reason demands it. The fool however builds his throne upon noise. He mistakes volume for victory and stubbornness for strength. You can carve proof into stone yet he will still deny it, for his pride is built on denial itself. He doesn't search for truth he searches for validation. And when a man argues for validation instead of understanding, no truth can reach him. to debate such a creature is to wrestle with the wind. It howls. It shifts. But it can never be captured. While truth humbles the intelligent only silence can expose the fool.” -RumiMost modern people do not care about injustice to others. They care about being seen as someone who cares. It is performance empathy. This is how and why the media can select what the crowd will be outraged about. Watch them wear courage like a disposable costume. One day it's a mask, a black square in their bio or the Ukrainian flag, they come and go as quickly as Free Tibet or Kony 2012, and are as hollow as a white Epstein binder given to Zionist influencers. Theater has gravity. A herd with no moral principles will always glob on to whatever is socially acceptable and safe to hate. Thus we see the weirdly zealous outrage towards the problems of yester-year. It is extremely safe to condemn Nazis, racism, slavery OF THE PAST. But the current evils, sweat shop labor, exploitation, Jewish supremacy: challenging these things comes at a cost. Are you good or do you just wish to appear good?The less talent they have the more pride vanity and arrogance they have. All these fools however find other fools to applaud them. The ignorant always find comfort in the echo of their own stupidity. They praise one another not out of admiration, but out of fear, fear of seeing their own emptiness reflected in silence. Pride is their refuge, vanity their creed, and arrogance their mask. Wise need no applause, for truth is its own reward. Yet the fool blind to his ignorance mistakes noise for wisdom and flattery for honor. And so the world rewards appearances of substance, illusion over intellect. It is a strange comedy. Those who know least shout loudest. Those who know most must whisper to be heard.Noise and attention seeking make more money than telling the truth or tackling social ills. Piling on to the degeneracy is how one makes it in the world. This set up is part of our sickness and why most people run around like barely domesticated monsters. The future is rapidly becoming a contest of who is mastering fakery the quickest. It is a whirlwind of lies and self deception. Every filter, every edit and avatar is deception.“A man who lies to himself and believes his own lies, becomes unable to recognize truth either in himself or in anyone else. And he ends up losing respect for himself and for others. When he has no respect for anyone, he can no longer love. And in order to divert himself, having no love in him, he yields to his impulses, indulges to the lowest forms of pleasure, and behaves in the end like an animal. And it all comes from lying.” -Fyodor DostoyevskyLying to others and to yourself is hollowing.You do not need more time. You need less distractions. Hours are squandered on pointless endeavors, meaningless habits, mindless scrolling. Your time disappears as you get lost in the noise. The difference between the focused and the astray is discipline. Distractions are thieves. They don't just steal minutes, they steal dreams. They turn months into years and years into regret. You don't need an extra hour. You need a sharper mind. No matter what you know, no matter how many facts you have gathered, you are adrift without focus.If someone is hurt by honesty it is not the truth that hurt them but their inability to accept it. The fragile mind will always favor fantasy to patch over the rough spots in reality. To the strong willed this is disgusting. If you can not handle honesty don't bother asking me questions.Beware the noise. Beware the noise. It wants you to fail.“It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so”. - Mark TwainLittle BonusAlso see the Prefect Prisoner This is a public episode.

In this message, Ministers Mark Ashton & Mary Claire Tarcza walk through the final chapter of our Long Story Short series—exploring the return from exile through Zerubbabel, Esther, Ezra, and Nehemiah, and pointing us toward the ultimate hope found in Jesus. This fast-paced overview traces 100 years of Israel's restoration: rebuilding the temple, standing with courage “for such a time as this,” returning to God's Word, and rebuilding a broken city and a broken people.If you've ever felt discouraged, distracted, disappointed, or unsure of where you fit in God's story, this message will anchor you in a bigger reality—God restores, God rebuilds, and God never stops working in the rubble of our lives. Discover how the themes of Mission over Mediocrity, Sacrifice over Silence, Devotion over Distraction, and Calling over Cushy shape a resilient faith that stands firm, even in seasons of ruin and rebuilding.Whether you're exploring Scripture for the first time or longing for a deeper spiritual foundation, this teaching will help you see the Old Testament with fresh clarity and point you to the only King who never fails—Jesus, the Cornerstone of every true restoration.

In our distraction-filled world, staying focused on God's purpose has become increasingly difficult yet spiritually critical. Nehemiah's story demonstrates the power of refusing distractions while rebuilding Jerusalem's walls. Despite constant interruptions, threats, and attempts to pull him away from his work, Nehemiah consistently responded with determination to continue his calling. Your great work exists at the intersection of a problem you can solve, a possibility for change, and a passion that moves you to action. When you identify this calling and refuse to come down from your wall, people will recognize that what you accomplish is only possible with God's help.

Ryan launches a multi-part series, Twisted Passions, addressing homosexuality and same-sex attraction from a biblical framework. He establishes why pastors should clearly preach what Scripture says while also equipping the church to counsel and care for strugglers, and he outlines upcoming topics: Is this sin “different,” are people “born this way,” and how do we raise kids in a sexualized culture? The aim is clarity, compassion, and confident hope in Christ for real victory.Topics DiscussedWhy churches must preach plainly on homosexuality (OT & NT texts)Common progressive rebuttals and why they don't hold up biblically (e.g., “love = affirmation,” misuse of John 8)Word study: ἀρσενοκοίτης and Paul's clarity in 1 Cor 6 / 1 Tim 1Beyond the pulpit: moving from denunciation to discipleship and counseling in the local churchShepherding kids in a perverted culture; building a proactive family planInviting listener questions/testimonies for future episodesKey TakeawaysScripture speaks clearly; pastors should, too—without hatred or compromise.“Love the sinner; hate the sin” isn't a cliché—Jesus says, “Go and sin no more.”Paul's terminology intentionally names male-with-male practice; it isn't vague.Churches must pair clear preaching with hands-on help for real people.Parents need an intentional, early plan to disciple children amid cultural lies.Ready to download the Cord App?

On today's episode, I talk to journalist and writer David J. Roth. Raised in Ridgewood, New Jersey, David started out his writing career writing and editing content for the backs of Topps trading cards. This led to writing for The Wall Street Journal's sports blog, co-founding and editing his own sports blog The Classical, and contributing to Vice and The Baffler, as well as many other publications. In 2017, David became an editor-at-large at Deadspin, and two years later, he and the entire writing and editorial staff resigned, protesting major editorial interference from the private equity holding company that had bought the publication. The following year, David and a number of the other former Deadspin writers formed Defector Media, one of the exciting new worker-owned journalism companies, and in the last five years, it has become one of the most well-regarded sites online. In addition to all of this, David also hosts the wonderful Defector podcast The Distraction. This is the website for Beginnings, subscribe on Apple Podcasts, follow me on Twitter.
