What is the objective of this Celtics season? Is it to tank? To be playoff-bound for Jayson Tatum's return? Is Anfernee Simons a keeper or should we be desperately attaching a pick in a trade? One thing's for certain, Celtics fans are completely divided over what's best for the Boston Celtics this year.

Today, the Church celebrates the Memorial of St. Josaphat, a bishop and martyr who gave his life for the unity of the Church — a unity founded in Christ Himself, who “is our peace, He who made both one and broke down the dividing wall of enmity through His flesh” (Eph 2:14).In today's Gospel, we encounter the ten lepers who call out to Jesus from a distance. Only one returns to give thanks — a Samaritan, a foreigner. Yet it is this “outsider” who draws near, falls at Christ's feet, and glorifies God. His gratitude becomes worship. The Greek word used here is eucharisteo — to give thanks — the same root of our word Eucharist. In that moment, the healed man “Eucharisted” Jesus, showing us that true thanksgiving is communion with God Himself.Fr. Tyler reflects on how this healing foreshadows what Christ accomplishes in the Eucharist: God drawing near to the outcast, uniting what was divided, and restoring communion through His Body and Blood. Just as the Samaritan crossed the barrier between distance and intimacy, Christ crosses the infinite divide between heaven and earth, destroying the walls that sin has built.St. Josaphat lived this mystery to the end. In a time of bitter division between East and West, he longed for the unity of all Christians under the successor of Peter. For this, he was martyred — his blood becoming the seed of reconciliation. His life echoes the very prayer of Christ in John 17: “That they may all be one, as You, Father, are in Me and I in You.”Let us pray today that, like St. Josaphat, we may become instruments of unity — people who heal, reconcile, and draw others toward the Eucharist, where all division is destroyed and all hearts are made one in Christ.Watch today's Daily Homily with Fr.

And how does the rest of Australia deal with young offenders?

Speaking at Cop30 in Brazil, the British prime minister, Keir Starmer, said the ‘consensus is gone' on tackling the climate crisis. It's an apt assessment because this week Australia's two major political parties have had very different commitments when it comes to climate action. The minister for climate change and energy, Chris Bowen, speaks to Guardian Australia's political editor, Tom McIlroy, about Labor's a free solar power scheme for some homes and the Coalition's continued infighting on emissions targets

Speaking at Cop30 in Brazil, the British prime minister, Keir Starmer, said the ‘consensus is gone' on tackling the climate crisis.

Many have tried to destroy the Bible. In A.D. 303, the Roman emperor Diocletian issued an edict to destroy Christians and their Bibles. Over a burned Bible, he built a monument on which he had inscribed, “Extincto nomine Christianorum” (the name Christian is extinguished). Twenty years later, Diocletian was dead, and the new emperor, Constantine, commissioned 50 copies of the Bible to be prepared at government expense. In 1776, Voltaire, the French philosopher, announced, “One hundred years from my day, there will not be a Bible on the earth except the one that is looked upon by some antique seeker.”...Article Link

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageThe temperature of American politics keeps rising, and the comparisons to the 1850s are getting louder. We step into the heat with a focused debate: do today's progressive radicals echo the antebellum fire eaters in their tactics, or is that a misleading frame that obscures fundamental moral differences? Our goal isn't to chase outrage; it's to test the claims with history, examples, and clear standards for what actually drives national rupture.We start by mapping the tactical overlap: ideological purity, demonization of opponents, and manufactured crises that rally the base while fracturing coalitions. From shutdown brinkmanship to party purges, minority factions can steer agendas and risk electoral blowback. Then we pivot to the critical distinctions. Fire eaters glorified political violence and sought secession to preserve slavery. Modern progressive leaders publicly condemn violence and pursue reform within democratic processes. Does that operational line hold when rhetoric escalates and fringe actors act? We weigh cases like assaults on ICE facilities, bail funds, and gubernatorial rhetoric that delegitimizes federal enforcement, asking where criticism ends and soft nullification begins.Immigration becomes the flashpoint that surfaces deeper questions about federal authority and compliance. When cities and states resist cooperation, the system can't function uniformly. Is that the modern equivalent of nullification or a hard-edged policy dispute inside constitutional boundaries? We examine the Jay Jones text scandal, the pressure for consequences, and how parties police their own when norms are breached. Along the way, we revisit January 6 condemnations to probe consistency: can leaders oppose violence without abandoning procedural objections?What emerges is a nuanced picture: similar playbooks can produce very different outcomes depending on moral aims, state sanction, and whether leaders draw clear red lines. The warning is real—patterns of zeal, demonization, and brinkmanship strain institutions—even if we aren't replaying 1860. If you care about democratic norms, federal coherence, and the future of political persuasion, you'll find this debate a bracing guide to the risks and responsibilities ahead.Key Points from the Episode:• framing the House Dividing series and historical lens• illegal immigration as the current flashpoint• fire eaters' tactics compared to modern progressive strategy• rhetoric, demonization, and fringe incitement risks• condemnations of violence versus state sanction and celebration• resistance to federal authority in cities and states• the Jay Jones text scandal as a case study in norms• January 6 condemnations and consistency claims• purity over pragmatism and party self-sabotage• open questions about warning signs versus false equivalenceOther resources: Want to leave a review?

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessagePolitics feels hotter than ever, but the real danger is how quickly heated words become guiding rules. We unpack what a “cold civil war” looks like, why it resonates right now, and how the United States has navigated similar standoffs before. From the Nullification Crisis to federal enforcement of school integration, from Reconstruction's contested peace to the open wounds of the Civil War, we draw a clear map of escalation—and a path to avoid repeating it.I walk through how rhetoric primes action: when leaders normalize contempt and caricature, citizens assume bad faith and brace for conflict. We explore the balance between firm enforcement of law and the need for face-saving offramps that keep people inside the system. You'll hear concrete lessons from Jackson, Clay, the Kennedys, and the courts; how legal clarity, courageous leadership, and careful language cooled past crises; and why institutions must enforce rights consistently to prevent extremist capture.We also examine today's flashpoints—campus speech battles, identity debates, and street-level confrontations—and ask what it would take to lower the temperature without silencing dissent. The answer isn't softer arguments; it's stronger norms: steelmanning opponents, rejecting political violence, and rebuilding civic rituals that let disagreements play out within guardrails. As we preview our upcoming structured debate, the goal is simple and urgent: trade labels for logic, trade clout-chasing for persuasion, and keep conflict civil and lawful.lets have the debate

In this week's episode, Tracy speaks with Darin Nooren about one of the most challenging and emotional topics facing farm families — how to achieve fair and equal in farm transition planning. Darin shares his expertise on strategies to balance the needs of farming and non-farming children. Darin explains how life insurance is one solution that can satisfy everyone's needs — providing retirement income for farm founders, ensuring the farming child or children can continue operating a whole and intact farm, and offering financial fairness for off-farm siblings. Most importantly, it can help keep the family farm in the family for generations to come. And let's be honest — insurance ranks right up there with “let's not talk about it” subjects like wills, death, and transition planning at large. But this is an important episode that shines a light on one powerful tool that can help farm families finally achieve fair and equal while keeping the farm intact.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageWords can move nations—and sometimes they move them off a cliff. We dive into the antebellum South to examine the Fire Eaters, the radical pro‑slavery leaders whose speeches, platforms, and media campaigns turned sectional tension into a secession movement. With William W. Freehling's and Eric H. Walther's research as our guide, we unpack how mainstream Democratic moderates once contained extremism, why that buffer failed, and how a small but relentless network reframed compromise as dishonor and delay as defeat.We explore the core playbook: amplify grievance, define identity against an enemy, and repeat a simple choice—submit or secede. William Lowndes Yancey emerges as the silver‑tongued strategist who pushed the Alabama Platform and helped fracture the Democratic Party at Charleston in 1860, while Robert Barnwell Rhett's Charleston Mercury kept the pressure on with relentless editorials and organizing. Their coordination—one commanding the stage, the other the press—created a feedback loop that made moderation sound timid and militancy sound inevitable. Along the way, we revisit key flashpoints like Bleeding Kansas and the caning of Charles Sumner, not as isolated events but as fuel for a narrative that sold rupture as rescue.This conversation isn't just about the past; it's a lens for the present. We track how over‑the‑top rhetoric accelerates polarization, how media ecosystems can reward the loudest voices, and what happens when political identity hardens into a zero‑sum creed. The takeaway is both sobering and practical: language shapes choices, and choices shape history. If you care about how societies keep disagreement from becoming disaster, this story matters.Key Points from the Episode:• Fire Eaters defined as radical pro‑slavery secessionists• Moderates within the Democratic Party as temporary brake on extremism• Propaganda through speeches and newspapers to harden opinion• Yancey's Alabama Platform and Charleston 1860 walkout• Rhett's Charleston Mercury as engine of agitation• Walther's argument on movement diversity and acceleration of secession• Biographical arcs of Yancey and Rhett as case studies in radicalization• Caution on the social cost of over‑the‑top rhetoric• Preview of a debate comparing 1860 rhetoric to todayOther resources: Want to leave a review?

There's a growing interest in green burials, where people are buried without toxic embalming chemicals, expensive caskets and burial vaults. But there aren't many places in Minnesota to do this. MPR News correspondent Dan Kraker recently published a story about a proposed green cemetery near Duluth and some of the pushback the proposal has received from local residents. He joined MPR News host Nina Moini to share more, as part of a weekly check-in with MPR News reporters in Greater Minnesota.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageA nation does not tumble into crisis overnight; it drifts, argues, hardens—and then stumbles. We open the pages of David Potter's A House Dividing to read the 1850s not as distant history but as a mirror for today's tensions. From the Compromise of 1850 to the Fugitive Slave Act, Potter shows how moral shocks can force ordinary citizens into a confrontation with their own values. That's the thread we follow into 2025: when people feel conscripted into rules they reject, politics polarizes fast and rhetoric outruns prudence.We walk through the essential parallels without forcing false equivalence. Sectionalism then was geographic; now it's cultural, algorithmic, and mapped onto coasts and heartland. We examine federal flashpoints around immigration enforcement, debates over identity and sports, and the way governors, agencies, and local movements collide at the edge of the law. The question beneath the noise is Potter's: how should a free people rank their values—freedom, union, morality, patriotism—when they pull in different directions? Most of us don't want to sacrifice any of them, but refusing to choose is itself a choice that leaves events to choose for us.Across the episode, we argue for two guardrails: hold the line on lawful order and refuse the language that turns neighbors into enemies. History warns that once rhetoric dehumanizes opponents, escalation can move faster than leaders can steer. We sketch the stakes, outline the risks of a “cold” conflict warming, and preview a series on how past “fire-eaters” used speech to accelerate crisis—and how we can avoid replaying that script.If this conversation sharpened your thinking, share it with a friend, subscribe for the next part of the series, and leave a quick review so more thoughtful listeners can find us. Your voice helps keep the debate human—and the union strong.Key Points from the Episode:• why Potter's A House Dividing still matters• the Compromise of 1850 and the Fugitive Slave Act as moral shock• parallels between 1850s fracture and 2025 cultural standoffs• modern sectionalism on coasts vs heartland• federal authority, state resistance, and flashpoints at ICE buildings• ranking values: freedom, union, morality, patriotism• immigration and identity as galvanizing issues• cooling rhetoric while enforcing law• preview of a series on rhetoric and escalationOther resources: MM#138--The Impending CrisisWant to leave a review?

In this episode we will explore Luke 12:49–53 with a message entitled The Dividing Work of Jesus. While many think of Jesus as the One who brings peace, He also declared that His coming would bring fire, division, and conflict. This week we unpack what Jesus meant by these challenging words, showing how following Him calls for total allegiance and often creates a clear line between those who accept Him and those who reject Him. If you have any questions about this podcast or would like to share a testimony or prayer request, we would love to hear from you.

Two friends. One Bible. Two opposite conclusions. How do we find truth when even Christians disagree?

10.5.25 | "Dividing The Right Kingdom" | Children's Pastor Naeem Hammond by The Rock Church of Fort Myers

Acts 15:22-41 Big Idea: God provides His word and His people so the church will agree on what to do and who should do it.  1. Embrace God's word–it brings peace. (22-35) 2. Lean into conflict–it will strengthen the church (36-41)     Discussion Questions  1. What do we learn about how the early church made decisions from the letter sent in Acts 15:22–29? 2. How do God's Word, God's Spirit, and God's people work together in discerning His will? 3. Why do you think Luke tells us about the sharp disagreement between Paul and Barnabas (vv. 36–39)?  4. What's the difference between unity and uniformity? How does this passage illustrate that? 5. Where are you tempted to avoid conflict in your life, and how might God use His Word and His people to help you face it faithfully?

Henry III of England and Alexander II of Scotland met in York to settle the whole "where does England end, and where does Scotland begin?" question on 25th September, 1237. The consequent ‘Treaty of York' (mostly) settled the map of the borders right up to the present day. Alexander agreed to give up claims on northern English counties like Northumberland, Cumberland, and Westmoreland in return for a small chunk of land and the right to hand over one falcon a year as a symbolic payment. Yes, a falcon. Medieval politics loved a bit of flair. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly consider how future English kings could spin Scotland's resultant ‘fealty' as an admission that England was the natural powerhouse; discover the lawlessness of the borderlands for the centuries afterwards; and reveal just how many times Berwick-upon-Tweed has caused a cartographical headache… Further Reading: • ‘A History of Scotland, Series 1, Hammers of the Scots, The Treaty of York, 1237' (BBC, 2013): https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0198xmq • ‘Magna Carta, Scotland and Scots Law' (University of Edinburgh, 2025): https://www.pure.ed.ac.uk/ws/portalfiles/portal/31216033/Magna_Carta_Scotland_and_Scots_Law_LQR_version.pdf • ‘The world's oldest border?'

After the last three weeks with Dante, we jump to another three-week series with Shakespeare and NINE plays!Shakespeare can be daunting, so I offer a few thoughts on how to approach him: Watch a movie FIRSTGet a good edition (hello, Folger Shakespeare Library)Keep a one-line-per-scene summary as you readEnjoy!! It will get easier and the plays are so very worthwhile.Hamlet dazzles with layered characters and razor-sharp language. Prince Hamlet wrestles with grief, revenge, and perhaps madness, while Claudius broods over the cost of his own sin. My own final note: “Everyone dies except Horatio.”Macbeth feels darker and almost Greek. The witches act as oracles, but Macbeth isn't their puppet—he chooses evil. Lady Macbeth is more accelerant than mastermind, and the play pulses with ominous energy.King Lear hit me hardest. Lear is not villainous, just weary and reckless, longing to lay down his burdens—yet no one gets that choice. Dividing his kingdom invites betrayal from his elder daughters and the scheming Edmund, while steadfast Cordelia stands tragically apart. The repeated “nothing” captures the emptiness of abdicated duty.Together they reveal Shakespeare's trademarks: sudden madness, clever disguises, and language that still crackles, showing three kinds of downfall—the victim (Hamlet), the villain (Macbeth), and the feckless ruler (Lear).LINKTed Gioia/The Honest Broker's 12-Month Immersive Humanities Course (paywalled!)My Amazon Book List (NOT an affiliate link)My Hamlet Movie ChoiceMy MacBeth Movie ChoiceMy King Lear Movie Choice (Not actually that good but I still think about it)CONNECTThe complete list of Crack the Book Episodes: https://cheryldrury.substack.com/p/crack-the-book-start-here?r=u3t2rTo read more of my writing, visit my Substack - https://www.cheryldrury.substack.com.Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cldrury/ LISTENSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5GpySInw1e8IqNQvXow7Lv?si=9ebd5508daa245bdApple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/crack-the-book/id1749793321 Captivate - https://crackthebook.captivate.fm

The Chicago Bears hosted the Dallas Cowboys this weekend, which meant Joey and Sean's teams were going up against each other. One of us emerged victorious and happy, and it wasn't the Cowboys fan. But at least Sean has Texas Longhorns football to fall back on. Arch Manning dominated a school in a lower division...that's something, right?Plus, an absurd number of blocked field goals, we're celebrating World Gratitude Day, and Sean starts a point before forgetting what he's talking about halfway through. We've all been there. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/sports-r-dumb/donations

Join the host for a live Friday call-in hour (Fridays, 9:00–10:00) as listeners weigh in on a week that, the host argues, has redrawn political dividing lines. Topics in this episode include the Netherlands' recent action on Antifa, simultaneous court appearances of accused attackers, criticism of mainstream media coverage, allegations of political and cultural motives, and how a single violent event can shift public sentiment. The host lays out a combative viewpoint on how to respond to what he calls an organized pattern of threats — then opens the phone lines for callers to share their perspectives.

In this candid episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, I'm joined once again by my wife, Jessica, for a raw and relatable conversation about marriage, parenting, and family dynamics. Together, we dive into the often-unspoken expectations that can trip couples up—from finances and chores to parenting roles and communication.   We unpack stories from our own journey, including how we've learned to navigate paying bills vs. investing, handling family dinners without resentment, and even the role each of us plays in talking with our boys about tough subjects like sex and relationships. Jessica also shares her gift for approaching conversations with grace and timing, while I reflect on my more reactive nature. This episode is packed with practical takeaways for couples who want to strengthen teamwork, avoid resentment, and lead their families with intention.     TIMELINE SUMMARY [0:00] - Welcome to the Dad Edge movement and today's focus on roles in marriage [1:01] - Defining who does what in parenting, finances, and chores [2:06] - The hidden danger of unspoken expectations [3:30] - Behind the scenes: energy, stress, and real-life struggles [5:10] - Midwest float trip stories and creating family traditions [9:27] - Why shared memories matter more than perfection [11:16] - Breaking down marriage roles: paying bills vs. investing [15:23] - The early financial mistakes that created stress in our marriage [18:05] - Why swapping roles can sometimes create resentment [21:16] - How Jessica manages bills and accountability with confidence [24:19] - Investments, risks, and learning to stomach financial swings [27:15] - Family dinners: why they often cause conflict and how we shifted the burden [29:03] - The turning point when Jessica admitted she hated cooking [31:36] - Why meal planning is harder than it looks (and how we simplified it) [34:47] - Balancing preferences, health, and kids' picky eating habits [39:11] - Parenting roles: who has the sex talk with the kids [41:12] - Creating safe, open conversations about sex, porn, and relationships [44:12] - How to approach hard conversations with timing and grace [47:26] - Why gentleness and patience often lead to better results [50:18] - Picking the right time and tone to address conflict at home [53:03] - Dividing responsibilities with kids' sports and activities [56:08] - Communication as the glue that keeps roles balanced [57:12] - Closing reflections and an invitation for listener topic suggestions     5 KEY TAKEAWAYS   1. Unspoken Expectations Create Resentment Most marital conflict stems not from tasks themselves, but from unspoken roles and assumptions. Clarity prevents conflict. 2. Play to Your Strengths Dividing responsibilities based on natural strengths—like Jessica handling bills and me handling investments—makes life easier and reduces stress. 3. Dinners Are About Connection, Not Perfection Family meals can quickly turn into a source of resentment. Sharing the load and letting go of perfection creates a healthier environment. 4. Hard Conversations Require Timing Approaching difficult topics at the right time and with the right tone changes everything. Grace and patience often achieve more than urgency. 5. Parenting Is a Team Effort From sex talks to sports practices, showing up as a united front teaches kids stability, respect, and the value of shared responsibility.       LINKS & RESOURCES   21 DAYS TO EXTRAORDINARY MARRIAGE - https://thedadedge.com/extraordinary-marriage/ Share your topic suggestions: info@thedadedge.com 25 Questions to Spark Connection With Your Partner: https://www.thedadedge.com/25questions Dad Edge Podcast Website: https://www.thedadedge.com/podcast Join The Alliance: https://www.thedadedge.com/alliance Dad Edge Tools & Resources: https://www.thedadedge.com/tools       If this episode gave you practical tools for marriage or parenting, please rate, follow, review, and share the podcast.

Segment 1: • Conservative Christianity saw a resurgence decades ago—but pride and inflated opinions fractured it. • The MacArthur Memorial revealed surprising unity with leaders like Piper, raising big questions. • Are we elevating secondary issues to essentials and repeating secular cancel culture? Segment 2: • Scott Aniol's “Conviction and Charity” points toward a healthier future for conservative Christianity. • Tone and tenor matter—we've all felt and likely contributed to the online heat. • G3's pivot could help the local pastor and church recalibrate. Segment 3: • Key question: when do you call out error, and when do you show charity? • Biblical conviction must never fade, but secondary issues shouldn't destroy fellowship. • The church must grow in discernment without weaponizing it. Segment 4: • Theological sharpness is good—but not our identity. • Have we been distracted from our Father's business by endless squabbles? • Unity in Christ must outweigh division over non-essentials. ___ Thanks for listening!

Most believers don't realize this, but God is actively shaking the nations—and He's using the marketplace, not just the pulpit, to do it. There's a prophetic mantle coming on end-time believers who are called like Zerubbabel, carrying a kingly anointing to rebuild, reform, and rule in the midst of chaos. If you've ever wondered how to walk in that authority and discern the divine separation happening around the globe, this word will wake you up and send you into your assignment with fire.
