Today we continued our focus on the power of community. We met the polarized Corinthian church in 1 Corinthians 8. Divided over food, idols, and banquets, they reminded us that intense societal divisions that touch the church are nothing new.

Questions about whether the principle that a house divided against itself can't stand would apply not only to Satan casting out demons but also to God allowing evil, whether or not God is the author of everything he permits for a purpose, and the primary sin of Eve.   Wouldn't the principle in Mark 3:24–25 that a house divided against itself can't stand apply not only to Satan casting out demons but also to God allowing evil? If God is pleased, according to his wise and holy counsel, to permit something, having purposed it to his own glory, does that make him the author of that which he purposed? What was the primary sin of Eve? Was it coveting? Pride? Curiosity?

In this week's Conflicted Community episode we're joined by Dr. Alick Isaacs, a lecturer at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and co-founder of Siach Shalom. Siach Shalom is am initiative that brings people from all walks of Israeli and wider Middle Eastern society—religious and secular, left and right—together to foster deep listening and dialogue. This conversation explores Dr. Isaacs' personal journey, from his upbringing as a religious Jew in the UK to his military service in Israel during the First Intifada, before exploring how his profound and sometimes difficult experiences shaped his commitment to peace and led him to a deeper spiritual calling grounded in Jewish tradition. This episode delves into the complex ideas behind the Israel-Palestine conflict, moving beyond the usual political talking points, to challenge common perceptions. The pair unpack the difference between the Western concept of "peace" and the Hebrew idea of "shalom" , while also discussing Alick's book, ‘Putting God First', and the idea of a Jewish politics of purpose. This is a conversation that goes to the heart of what it means to heal deep-seated divisions and find a way toward genuine, lasting peace in one of the world's most contested regions.

What happens when a Dutch pastor encounters the living heartbeat of Jerusalem? Sebastiaan van Wessem shares his journey from a seminary-trained, Western lens to a Bible interpreted through first-century Jewish eyes.  From his first trip to Israel to the relaunch of KNGDM Alliance - with Jerusalem at its center - Sebastiaan has been on a mission to unite Jew and Gentile under Messiah. But this vision unfolds in the shadow of rising antisemitism across Europe. From street protests to political battles over Israel's right to defend itself, Sebastiaan exposes the spiritual forces at work and the cost of standing with God's chosen people. In this episode, you'll hear how the One New Man isn't theory - it's a prophetic calling that challenges the Church to live as a united testimony before the Lord's return. Key Takeaways First-century eyes change everything - reading Scripture as Jesus' listeners did transforms theology and practice. Jerusalem must be the center - God's plan for His Kingdom flows from Zion. Antisemitism is alive and escalating - from soccer riots to parliamentary moves against Israel. One New Man is more than unity - it's Jew and Gentile, distinct yet one in Messiah. Prophecy is unfolding - growing global hostility toward Israel affirms the Bible's truth. The Church must demonstrate, not just teach - unity has to be lived, not only preached. Partnership with Messianic Jews is vital - relationship precedes mission. The Great Commission and Israel are linked - God's timing involves Jew and Gentile together proclaiming the Kingdom.

A fallen pohutakawa tree at a prestigious North Shore apartment complex has locals divided over whether it should be saved or sawn to bits. A factious Devonport Takapuna Local Board meeting took place today to decide the fate of the tree that fell at Takapuna's Sands Apartments in 2022. It may have fallen but it's still very much alive. Residents of the Sands want it gone, but the removal has been opposed by some iwi groups because of the tree's cultural significantce. Finn Blackwell reports.

Traditional religion in the United States has suffered huge losses in recent decades. The number of Americans identifying as “not religious” has increased remarkably. Religious affiliation, service attendance, and belief in God have declined. More and more people claim to be “spiritual but not religious.” Religious organizations have been reeling from revelations of sexual and financial scandals and cover-ups. Public trust in “organized religion” has declined significantly. Crucially, these religious losses are concentrated among younger generations. This means that, barring unlikely religious revivals among youth, the losses will continue and accelerate in time, as less-religious younger Americans replace older more-religious ones and increasingly fewer American children are raised by religious parents. All this is clear. But what is less clear is exactly why this is happening. We know a lot more about the fact that traditional American religion has declined than we do about why this is so. Christian Smith is the William R. Kenan, Jr. Professor of Sociology and Founding Director of the Center for the Study of Religion and Society at the University of Notre Dame. Smith is well known for his research focused on religion, adolescents and emerging adults, and social theory. He has written many books, including Divided by Faith, Soul Searching, and Moral, Believing Animals. His new book is Why Religion Went Obsolete: The Demise of Traditional Faith in America.

The dormant Democrat party must find a way to revive itself if it is to have any hope of challenging the Maga movement, Donald Trump, and his eventual successor. The party is split on whether Trump is simply an aberration to endure, or whether he represents the death of democracy, justifying a dirtier form of opposition politics.Anoosh Chakelian is joined by the New Statesman's US correspondent Freddie Hayward.Download the app Hosted on Acast.

By Adam Turteltaub I recently learned that at the US Department of Justice's law library, one of the most common requests the librarians receive is for vintage dictionaries.  Why?  Because the lawyers often need to find out what the definition of a word was at the time a law was passed. Meanings change over time in the law and in the vernacular.   Remember when describing something as “sick” meant that it was bad?  Now it's the opposite. Stacey Parks, Ethics Officer, Enterprise Operations and International Ethics at Lockheed Martin will be taking on our evolving language at the 2025 SCCE Compliance & Ethics Institute.  Her session is, appropriately, entitled, “Divided by a Common Language:  No Cap.  Here's the Tea on How Being a Mom of a Teenager Made Me a Better Communicator.” With five generations in the workplace today, it's important to understand that each has its own communications style and what works for one may not for another.  Millennials, Gen Z and Gen Alpha are all digital natives and are much more comfortable than their predecessors with online communication.  They also tend to prefer shorter, more succinct messaging, including pictures and diagrams.  For them, less is more. Many are also “telephobic,” afraid of and uncomfortable using the phone for talking.  They prefer texting and have a poor understanding of telephone etiquette. What's a compliance team to do?  Think differently.  Use lots of imagery, and even memes to communicate.  Look to short form training, rather than long. Learn their language, too, so you can be a better listener when they share their concerns. And, before you dismiss these ideas, don't forget how your felt when your parents (or grandparents) threw in the word “groovy” long after it was no longer so groovy to do so. Listen in to this podcast and then be sure to join her in Nashville at the Compliance & Ethics Institute.  It's going to be sick!

Sunday morning sermon audio from Preston Highlands Baptist Church.

Suruchi Mazumdar's book addresses the complex relationship between India's evolving, emerging media landscape, the political and economic interests of diverse media actors, and movements opposing contentious issues such as market-based economic reforms and religious nationalism. In the mid-2000s, Singur and Nandigram, nondescript semi-urban and rural areas in the east Indian state of West Bengal, suddenly became the center of national and international media attention and debates on state-led neoliberal agenda. The point of controversy were local agitations provoked by the then state government's plans to acquire agricultural land for large scale corporate industrial projects. The movements by farmers to protect their agricultural land were described variously as challenges to neoliberal initiatives and widespread social tension that put a temporary brake to state-led market reforms. In traditional liberal narratives, the triumph of economic reforms was expected to replace value-based ideology with global economic principles, perceived as objective and neutral.  But the forces of neoliberalism became strongly entrenched in India alongside religious nationalism. Such political economic developments paralleled with the simultaneous expansion of India's digital and traditional media sectors, consolidation of market forces, the co-option of both old and new media by powerful actors, and opportunities of mediated democratization and activism. While narratives of economic liberalization and global trends of commercialized journalism have been amply documented, this book addresses the tension between mainstream media's political and commercial logic, movements and citizen-led activisms questioning dominant development and religious nationalist agenda, and the possibilities of political diversity and democratic participation in the Indian city of Kolkata. By focusing on the hybridities, commonalities, differences, and complexities in Kolkata's mainstream news media and emerging digital space, this book captures the regional and linguistic variations in the studies of media, movements, and politics in India. Dr Suruchi Mazumdar is an Associate Professor at Jindal School of Journalism and Communication, O.P. Jindal Global University in India. Dr Priyam Sinha is an Alexander Von Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Institute for Asian and African Studies, Humboldt University in Berlin. Learn more about your ad choices.

Have you heard On the Media's Peabody-winning series The Divided Dial? It's awesome and you should, and now you will. In this episode they tell the story of shortwave radio: the way-less-listened to but way-farther-reaching cousin of AM and FM radio. The medium was once heralded as a utopian, international, and instantaneous mass communication tool — a sort of internet-before-the-internet. But, like the internet, many people quickly saw the power of this new technology and found ways to harness it. State leaders turned it into a propaganda machine, weaponizing the airwaves to try and shape politics around the world. And as shortwave continued to evolve, like the internet, it became fragmented, easily accessible, and right-wing extremists, conspiracy theorists and cult leaders found homes on the different shortwave frequencies. And even today - again, like the internet - people with money are looking to buy up this mass-communication tool in the hopes of … making more money. This is episode one from the second season of The Divided Dial a limited series from On The Media. Listen on Spotify (https://zpr.io/hKCcFEGTLb5a)Listen on Apple Podcasts (https://zpr.io/tQ86YmEmiivR)Listen on the WNYC App (iTunes, Android)Listen to the full Divided Dial series (https://www.onthemedia.org/dial)Follow On The Media on Instagram @onthemedia The Divided Dial was supported in part by a grant from the Fund for Investigative Journalism. On the Media is supported by listeners like you.
