Join the show with a TEXT here!The new Mini Series has officially begun! In this first episode, we lay out the heart behind the project—why staying anchored in the Reformation matters for Believers today, and how this series will equip you with clear, thoughtful apologetic insight.We dive straight into the Confession of Cyril Lucaris and the response it provoked in the Confession of Dositheus. Together, we unpack Decree 2 and Chapter 2 from both documents, and explore two of Dositheus' catechetical questions to see how these texts shaped theological identity in their time—and why they still matter now.If that doesn't pique your curiosity, I'm not sure what will. Grab your Bible, grab a snack, and settle in for a rich conversation.

Navigating the Complex World of Trusts and EstatesThis conversation delves into the complexities of trusts and estates, focusing on key concepts such as testamentary intent, the plain meaning rule, ambiguity in wills, mandatory statutory protections for families, elective shares, distribution mechanics in intestacy, and the challenges posed by blended families and non-marital partners. It emphasizes the importance of understanding these principles for effective estate planning and the evolving nature of succession law.In the intricate realm of Trusts and Estates, understanding the balance between honoring a decedent's intent and adhering to statutory requirements is crucial. This blog post delves into the key concepts and challenges faced in this field, providing insights for both law students and practitioners.The Plain Meaning Rule and Its ExceptionsA foundational principle in testamentary documents is the Plain Meaning Rule, which dictates that if the language of a will is clear, extrinsic evidence is generally inadmissible. However, this rule is not absolute and has exceptions, particularly when dealing with inter vivos trusts, where courts are more lenient in considering external evidence to determine intent.Ambiguity in Wills: Latent vs. PatentAmbiguity in wills can be classified as latent or patent, with significant implications for the admissibility of evidence. Latent ambiguities arise when clear language becomes ambiguous due to external facts, allowing for extrinsic evidence. In contrast, patent ambiguities are apparent contradictions within the document itself, traditionally precluding external evidence.Mandatory Statutory ProtectionsThe law imposes mandatory protections to safeguard the immediate family, such as family allowances and elective shares. These provisions ensure that a surviving spouse and minor children receive support, often prioritizing their claims over the decedent's explicit wishes.Blended Families and Estate PlanningBlended families present unique challenges in estate planning, requiring sophisticated tools like QTIP trusts to balance the needs of a surviving spouse with the inheritance rights of children from previous marriages. These trusts provide income to the spouse while preserving the principal for the decedent's children.The Role of Non-Probate TransfersNon-probate transfers, such as life insurance and IRAs, can override a will's provisions, highlighting the importance of keeping beneficiary designations up to date. This aspect is critical in avoiding unintended disinheritance and ensuring that assets are distributed according to the decedent's wishes.Trusts and Estates law is a dynamic field that requires a deep understanding of both legal principles and practical considerations. By mastering these concepts, practitioners can effectively navigate the complexities of estate planning and ensure that their clients' intentions are honored.Subscribe now to stay updated on the latest insights in Trusts and Estates law.TakeawaysSuccession Law balances honoring the deceased's wishes with statutory protections.The Plain Meaning Rule restricts the use of extrinsic evidence in wills.Latent ambiguity allows for external evidence, while patent ambiguity does not.Mandatory protections prioritize the surviving spouse and minor children.The elective share ensures a minimum inheritance for spouses.Distribution methods in intestacy reflect the decedent's presumed intent.Blended families complicate estate planning due to conflicting interests.Non-probate transfers can override a will's provisions.Incorporation by reference allows external documents to be part of a will.The UPC's exclusion of non-marital partners raises questions about modern family dynamicsTrusts, Estates, Testamentary Intent, Plain Meaning Rule, Ambiguity, Statutory Protections, Elective Share, Distribution Mechanics, Blended Families, Non-Marital Partners

Turning Point USA is arguably the most-powerful vote-getting operation in America, having played an instrumental role in the reelection of Donald Trump. This year for AmFest 2025, they drew tens of thousands of ‘true believers' in the church of Charlie Kirk, and what did they see when they got there? They had a front row seat to a legitimate end times circus, including a replica of the tent where Charlie Kirk was assassinated that also functioned as a selfie station for his most ardent disciples.“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.” 2 Timothy 3:1 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, whatever Turning Point USA was under the leadership of Charlie Kirk it's not anymore, as literally everyone is scrambling for control, money, power and their slice of the hundred million dollar+ empire that is TPUSA. The “grieving widow” looks like she is having the time of her life dressed all in gold and taking the stage in what looks like an MTV music video (if you're old enough to remember what that is). In fact, she's already working to select the next president, and her choice appears to be her very close friend, JD Vance. But all those things are mere child's play compared to the witchcraft and demonism we found while observing the festivities in an event trumpeting the “Christian foundation” of America. Not all is as it seems, and on this episode, you'll be shocked at everything taking place inside the House of Kirk.

Understanding Negligence Causation in Tort Law: A Deep DiveThis conversation provides a comprehensive breakdown of tort law, focusing on negligence analysis, causation, damages, and special doctrines. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the policy choices behind legal rules and the complexities involved in establishing liability. Key topics include factual and proximate causation, the collateral source rule, emotional distress claims, and the challenges of mass tort litigation. The discussion aims to clarify these concepts for law students and practitioners, highlighting the critical elements necessary for successful legal analysis.In the intricate world of tort law, negligence causation stands as a cornerstone concept, pivotal for both law students and practitioners. This blog post unravels the complexities of causation, offering a clear roadmap through its two main components: factual causation and proximate causation.Factual Causation: The 'But For' TestAt the heart of factual causation lies the 'but for' test, a fundamental principle asking whether the injury would have occurred 'but for' the defendant's actions. This test, while straightforward, can sometimes lead to infinite causal chains, necessitating alternative approaches like the Substantial Factor Test (SFT) in cases with concurrent causes.Proximate Causation: The Scope of LiabilityProximate causation, or legal causation, introduces a policy-driven filter to limit liability. It asks whether the harm was a foreseeable result of the defendant's actions, a concept famously illustrated in the Palsgraf v. Long Island Railroad case. This shift from 'proximate cause' to 'scope of liability' sharpens legal analysis, focusing on the specific risks created by the defendant's conduct.Special Doctrines and Modern ChallengesThe blog also explores special doctrines like alternative liability and market share liability, which address evidential uncertainties in complex cases. Additionally, it delves into the controversial collateral source rule, highlighting its impact on damages and the ongoing debate over its fairness and economic implications.The Bigger PictureUltimately, understanding negligence causation in tort law is not just about mastering legal tests and doctrines. It's about recognizing the legal system's broader goal of achieving social fairness, balancing factual findings with equitable outcomes.Subscribe now to stay updated on the latest insights in tort law and beyond.TakeawaysThe goal here is clarity.Causation is the link itself.Proximate cause is the policy-driven filter.The collateral source rule is deeply controversial.Negligent infliction of emotional distress is evolving.Mass torts are a different beast altogether.The harm must match the risk.The single most common mistake on a torts exam is mixing up causation types.Tort law is about achieving social fairness.Understanding policy choices is key to tort law.tort law, negligence, causation, damages, collateral source rule, emotional distress, mass torts, legal responsibility, liability, law education

Gregory Copley observes a 2025 shift toward nationalism and decisive leadership, asserting that globalism is declining. He notes that nuclear weapons are becoming "unusable" due to changing military doctrines and warns that Western democracies are sliding toward autocracy, drawing historical parallels to Oliver Cromwell's rise as Lord Protector. 1648 CROMWELL

Der Illuminatenorden wurde im Jahr 1776 von einem Professor gegründet und existierte offiziell nicht einmal zehn Jahre. Schon kurze Zeit später wurde er vom bayerischen Fürsten verboten und verschwand scheinbar im Nebel der Geschichte. Und doch gibt es bis heute keinen Geheimbund, der die Fantasie der Menschen so stark anregt wie die Illuminaten. Warum wurden sie im 18. Jahrhundert verboten?

In this episode, I dive into the Articles of Faith and Official Declarations 1 and 2 and talk about what they teach us about revelation, change, and trusting living prophets. I share how the scriptures, especially the Book of Mormon, help us sort truth from noise, why repentance and faith in Christ are so central, and how we can honor others' right to worship while holding fast to our own beliefs. In the end, I come back to Nephi's "nevertheless": we don't know the meaning of all things, but we do know that God loves His children—and that truth is enough to keep us on the covenant path.   Don't forget to read the extra resources linked in this lesson.  There was a lot of interesting stuff there!  The Wentworth Letter The Messenger and the Manifesto Plural Marriage and Families in Early Utah   The Power of Teaching Doctrine   Essential Conversations   The Doctrines and Principles Contained in the Articles of Faith

What are the core doctrines Christians must never compromise—and why are they under attack today? In this episode of the Bible and Theology Matters podcast, Dr. Paul Weaver interviews Dr. David Geisler, son of the late Dr. Norman Geisler, to discuss the newly expanded edition of Conviction Without Compromise by Dr. Norman Geisler and Ron Rhodes.Together they explore:✔ The 15 essential doctrines that define historic Christian orthodoxy✔ Why Geisler and Rhodes wrote Conviction Without Compromise✔ The alarming theological confusion in today's church ✔ How the International Council on Biblical Inerrancy (ICBI) and the Chicago Statement shaped modern evangelicalism✔ Why biblical inerrancy is the foundation of every major Christian doctrine ✔ How to identify teachings that logically undermine Scripture✔ Dr. Geisler's legacy in apologetics, philosophy, and Christian thought✔ The importance of standing firm with conviction, yet responding with charity✔ Encouragement for pastors and believers pressured to compromise biblical truthDr. David Geisler also shares insights about:• The Unqualified Movie—the documentary on his father's life and influence• His father's journey from being “almost illiterate at 17” to becoming one of the most influential apologists of the past century• Why today's church desperately needs clarity on essentials, non-essentials, and charity in all thingsIf you care about apologetics, Christian doctrine, the authority of Scripture, or the legacy of Dr. Norman Geisler, this conversation will strengthen your convictions and deepen your understanding of biblical truth.

In this episode, we explore one of St. Augustine's most influential theological frameworks: the Four States of Man. From humanity's original harmony in Eden to the tension-filled struggle after the Fall, Augustine explains our different nature in relation to sin. Join us as we break down each state—able to sin, not able not to sin, able not to sin, and not able to sin—and unpack what they reveal about the human condition.Whether you're new to Augustine or revisiting his thought with fresh eyes, this episode offers an accessible, engaging guide to one of the foundational ideas in Christian understanding. ResourcesEpisodes093 - Doctrines of Grace / Calvinism094 - Total Depravity095 - Unconditional Election096 - Limited Atonement097 - Irresistible Grace098 - Perseverance of the Saints100 - Debated Passages in the Doctrines of Grace Conversation101 - Q & A Over the Doctrines of GraceArticles and Books"aw-GUS-tin"The Battle of the Will, Part 1: Pelagius and AugustineAugustine's Four-fold State of HumanityBoston's Fourfold StateAugustine of HippoAugustine's ConversionConversion of St. AugustineWhat Is the Biblical Evidence for Original Sin?The Bondage of the Will by Martin LutherConfessions by St. AugustineConnect With Us providenceomaha.org | Instagram | Facebook Email Us formation@providenceomaha.org

In this lesson, we explore the biblical teaching commonly called Calvinism—more properly, the Doctrines of Grace. Following chapter 6 of Dr. Hicks' book, we will examine the five points (Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Limited Atonement, Irresistible Grace, and Perseverance of the Saints) as a faithful summary of how God sovereignly and graciously saves sinners from start to finish, all to the praise of His glorious grace.This series works to provide a positive, biblical case for key beliefs, including the sufficiency of Scripture, salvation by grace alone, justification by faith, covenant theology, Calvinism, the regulative principle of worship, and more—tracing their roots from the early church through the Reformation and Puritan eras.Our weekly Sunday School live stream begins every Lord's Day at 9:30 AM (US Central Time).About Reformed Baptist Church of McKinneyWe are a Christ-centered, Bible-believing church in McKinney, Texas, committed to the glory of God through expository preaching, sound doctrine, and vibrant fellowship.

Welcome to Episode 308 of Lucretius Today. This is a podcast dedicated to the poet Lucretius, who wrote "On The Nature of Things," the most complete presentation of Epicurean philosophy left to us from the ancient world. Each week we walk you through the Epicurean texts, and we discuss how Epicurean philosophy can apply to you today. If you find the Epicurean worldview attractive, we invite you to join us in the study of Epicurus at EpicureanFriends.com, where we discuss this and all of our podcast episodes.           This week we continue covering Cicero's "Tusculan Disputations" from an Epicurean perspective. Today we continue our discussion with the second half of [section 10 of Part 5](https://handbook.epicureanfriends.com/Library/Text-Cicero-TusculanDisputations/#x_3) where Cicero criticizes Metrodorus and Epicurus for allegedly making high-sounding statements by being inconsistent for involving pleasure and pain in them.    Today we will look at the four points that are summarized all-too-briefly in the "Tetrapharmakon," and we will expand on the meaning of each branch by referring to the full text of the first four supporting statements in the Principal Doctrines, the letters of Epicurus, through the Tetrapharmakon, through the most complete stateement of them by Cicero's Epicurean speakershttps://www.epicureanfriends.com/thread/4804-episode-308-tracing-epicurus-key-ideas-from-the-principal-doctrines-to-the-tetra/

In this final episode of our “Doctrines of Grace” series, host Jared Luttjeboer and Dr. J. Mark Beach turn to one of the most tender truths in the Christian life—the perseverance and assurance of the saints. Many believers quietly ask, Can I lose my salvation? or, What if I've fallen too far? With warmth and biblical clarity, Dr. Beach reminds us that perseverance is not about our grip on God, but His steadfast hold on us. Whether you're walking through doubt, wrestling with sin, or simply longing for renewed confidence in Christ's promise, this conversation brings us back to the truth that the God who began a good work in you will surely bring it to completion.
