Philippians 2:5-11

Author Rob Henderson joins The Winston Marshall Show to dissect America's deepening political divide.From the shocking murder of Charlie Kirk to the refusal of Democrats in Congress to honor his death, Henderson explores how anger has tipped into hatred — fueling a climate where political violence is no longer unthinkable. He distinguishes between anger as bargaining, and hatred as wishing opponents didn't exist, warning of a dangerous escalation.Drawing on his work in psychology, Henderson explains the “dark triad” — narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy — and how social media rewards these traits, amplifying extremism online. He considers how the lack of a common enemy after the Cold War and 9/11 has turned Americans inward, seeing each other as the threat.From immigration battles and “luxury beliefs” among elites, to the gender divide in politics, marriage, and the rise of anti-natalist ideology — Henderson maps out how cultural and psychological fault lines are remaking American life.Can the US pull back from the brink of hatred-fueled politics?-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 0:00 Introduction 1:53 Political Division and Emotional Dynamics 14:04 Historical Context and Social Media's Role 16:35 Dark Triad Traits and Political Violence 27:54 Gender Divide and Political Preferences 41:09 Immigration and Elite Ideologies 54:03 Downward Mobility and Radical Politics 59:36 Education and Historical Amnesia 1:11:54 Final Thoughts and Future Outlook Hosted on Acast.

Jesus modelled a contrarian downward mobility for us that doesn't just accomplish God's mission but shows us who God is. This season we're allowing the words of Philippians 1:27-2:11 to shape us as we walk towards the cross.

All our lives, we are encouraged to climb up the ladder. The word “up” has come to be cherished in our society. It's a word reserved for winners, heroes, and overcomers: upscale, up-and-coming, upper class, upwardly mobile.  The premise, indeed the promise, is that if you devote yourself to climbing up the ladder and making it to the top, that's where all the good stuff is – status, significance, and success.Of course, devoting yourself to ladder climbing can carry a cost.  Often to climb up, you need to climb over others. Because your focus is upward, you pay no attention to those below you. But the cost is more than worth it - or so we're told. The problem with ladder climbing is it's not only lonely at the top, it's empty.But Jesus didn't come to climb up the ladder. He went down the ladder. Philippians 2:5-8 gives a beautiful, poetic picture of the upside-down life of Jesus. “…who being in very nature God did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage…” (v.6)There is a boatload of theology in these verses:  “being” = huparchein = that which one is in very essence and which cannot be changed “in the very nature” = morphe = an essential form which never altersPaul is making it clear that Jesus always was, is, and always will be fully and unalterably God. To put it into our context, He started at the top of the ladder. But note which direction Jesus goes. “…rather, he made himself nothingby taking the very nature[b] of a servant,being made in human likeness.” (v. 7)Jesus' downward mobility began with simply taking on human flesh with all its limitations. But His descent didn't stop there. He came not just a man, but as a servant, spending time with lepers and prostitutes. And still, His descent continued. “And being found in appearance as a man,he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!” (v.8)Jesus, the One who flung the stars into space, voluntarily gave Himself over to die. And not just any death. Death on a cross – the most painful, humiliating way to die. Jesus' story is not a rags-to-riches story. It's a riches-to-rags story (burial rags). Why did He willingly pursue this downward path? He was not committed to climbing up the ladder but to accomplishing God's purposes.Now vs. 5 takes on new meaning. “In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus.” Jesus' descent was meant to be an example for us to follow.Jesus came as a servant, not in spite of the fact that He was God, but because He was God.  It is the nature of God is to give and to serve. Jesus, when He came in the form of a servant, was not disguising Who God is; He was revealing Who God is. Intentionally moving down the ladder is the most God-like thing a person can do.     Text: Philippians 2:5-8Originally recorded on August 24, 2008, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN

In today's message, we explore the call to shift our focus from self-centeredness to a life oriented toward others and God, inspired by Micah 6:8 and Philippians 2:3-11. By following Jesus' example of humility, we're reminded to love, serve, and value others above ourselves. Join us as we dive deeper into what it means to walk humbly with God, letting His grace shape our lives and relationships.

Jon Owen's mum enrolled him in a computer science degree at University - expecting him to build a flourishing career; which he did. It just wasn't the one that everyone expected

Rev. Tim Udouj

In the 2nd conversation with author, recovering art worker and academic Valerie Werder, she talks about: the travails of clothes shopping for her job in the blue-chip gallery, not only how fraught it was but how much it brought up class issues as she moved through the sartorial gauntlet, where her appearance as a frosty, inaccessible object was part of her role; the complicated variations of class when it comes to precarity and poverty, including a culture where those who are cultivating an aesthetic of bohemianism or even poverty are existing alongside those who are actually financially poor, the latter of whom sometimes don't even have culture on their radar; her fictional and, perhaps, real relationship with the enigmatic character ‘Ted' from her book Thieves, which is complex in its values, dependency, and deceptions, and which coincided with her own attraction to anarchism and anti-capitalism, and how ‘Ted' in some ways embodied these tendencies; the complex social roles and hierarchies that Valerie is living within, and the experience of downward mobility while simultaneously being connected with an upper echelon of culture; how transitioning to the hierarchies and bureaucracies of Harvard was fairly smooth and easy after being in the blue-chip NY gallery world; and how while she still sporadically writes about art, she's for all intents and purposes stepped out of the art world proper. NOTE: in the Bonus episode w/Valerie, she talks all about the very real shoplifting she participated in and is a main feature in Thieves.

This is the 5th Sunday of Lent and the story continues at Greenfield Presbyterian Church in Berkley, MI. Scripture is Mark 10:35-45 A request from James and John 35 James and John, Zebedee's sons, came to Jesus and said, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask.” 36 “What do you want me to do for you?” he asked. 37 They said, “Allow one of us to sit on your right and the other on your left when you enter your glory.” 38 Jesus replied, “You don't know what you're asking! Can you drink the cup I drink or receive the baptism I receive?” 39 “We can,” they answered. Jesus said, “You will drink the cup I drink and receive the baptism I receive, 40 but to sit at my right or left hand isn't mine to give. It belongs to those for whom it has been prepared.” 41 Now when the other ten disciples heard about this, they became angry with James and John. 42 Jesus called them over and said, “You know that the ones who are considered the rulers by the Gentiles show off their authority over them and their high-ranking officials order them around. 43 But that's not the way it will be with you. Whoever wants to be great among you will be your servant. 44 Whoever wants to be first among you will be the slave of all, 45 for the Human One didn't come to be served but rather to serve and to give his life to liberate many people.”

How would you define success? Is it accumulating money, influence, beauty or power? Well, of course not. We wouldn’t admit that — at least not out loud. There's a phrase that people use: “the ladder of success.” Imaging climbing up that ladder, and then imagine climbing through a window at the top of that ladder. After all, a ladder leans on something, doesn't it? What if that ladder led you into the wrong window of the wrong house? I wonder how Jesus defines success. Turns out, he never uses the word. So what DOES he say about the things we should strive after? This sermon on John 13:1-30 looks at the surprising and topsy-turvy story of Jesus washing the feet of his disciples, including Judas. How might we take his example seriously as we navigate life in a world drunk on misplaced ideas of success.

While human beings typically want to climb the ladder, Jesus makes the opposite movement; he is the reversal of our endless striving, showing the truth path to a life of meaning.

The “good life” that often captures our imagination is centered on upward mobility and getting ahead. But the mindset to which Jesus calls us is just the opposite. What does downward mobility mean for His followers?

Writer and performer Annabelle Gurwitch never got rich over the course her decades-long career, but she managed to carve out a decent life as a working actor and published author. In her fifties, however, her fortunes changed and she found herself divorced, renting out a room in her house, and wondering how a middle class existence can slip away after a lifetime of hard work. She chronicles these struggles-often hilariously-in her fifth book You're Leaving When? Adventures in Downward Mobility. In this conversation, Annabelle speaks with Meghan about how she thinks she got to this place, what she's learned about homelessness and access to health care, and how a recent medical crisis has raised her stakes even further. She also speaks about her child, now a young adult, who identifies as nonbinary and how coming to understand that identity led her to think that future  generations might be able to make better sense of the world than we do.   Guest Bio: Annabelle Gurwitch is the author of five books, including The New York Times bestseller and Thurber Prize finalist I See You Made an Effort. She's written for The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street Journal, LA Magazine and Hadassah among other publications. Her latest book is You're Leaving When? Adventures in Downward Mobility, published by Counterpoint Press.

This week many of our listeners had to make some tough leadership decisions regarding Covid-19. We love you, and we know that nothing has prepared us well for this moment. We spend a few moments, in the beginning, talking about some thoughts we have as we have thought through the pandemic. Disclaimer, we recorded on Thursday, March 12, less than 2 hours after, the county J.R. and I live in closed all its schools for the next two weeks, has canceled all large gatherings and is asking the population to practice social distancing. And, there is a toilet paper shortage!! We are sure that even when this reaches our listeners, the situation will have changed again. Our interview this week is with Alan Fadling is timely. This conversation was so fruitful and long that we decided to make it into two parts. This episode begins with Alan sharing the most helpful metaphor of ministry of a pitcher, cup, saucer, and plate Alan shares his story of hearing a clear vision from the Lord and watching it die over years of downward mobility only to be resurrected at the right time. He speaks to the danger of success over failure and so much more—Alan bursts at the seams with wisdom and grace.  Resources: https://www.unhurriedliving.com/Alan's books: An Unhurried Leader & An Unhurried Life      Questions:- When are you tempted to reach for the pitcher? - What areas of your life could be described as hurried? How might you move from hurried to unhurried?  If you have any questions, comments, or thoughts for the show drop us a line, at dougmoister@gmail.com or jrbriggs@kairospartnerships.orgWe are a new podcast, so we ask you to make sure to subscribe, write a review, and share this with other pastors and kingdom leaders.
