Preparing the Bride - Learning the balance of activity and intimacy. Message from Sunday January 18th.

This is a Q&A session from the Soul Searchers Retreat. Acharya das delivers a comprehensive discussion on spiritual life versus material life, emphasizing the fundamental distinction between material consciousness (identifying with the physical body) and spiritual consciousness (recognizing oneself as an eternal spiritual being). He explains that material life is founded on the belief that "I am material," while spirituality recognizes "I'm an eternal spiritual being." A wide range of topics were addressed (as you can see from the chapters listed below) including the concept of karma yoga which was introduced as a process of integrating life activities with spiritual practice by offering all actions as service to a higher spiritual reality. **************************************CHAPTERS‎ 00:00 Distinguishing Material and Spiritual Life02:39 The Concept of Karma Yoga 04:09 The Bhagavad Gita: Arjuna's Dilemma‎05:42 Arjuna's Breakdown and Krishna's Response08:24 Krishna's Teaching on Duty and Nature09:46 The Radical Teaching of Spiritual Action11:23 The Lesson of Utilizing Our Tools12:42 The Fundamental Shift in Consciousness14:06 Two Schools of Thought: Traditional vs. Advaita15:43 Critique of the "I Am God" Philosophy17:05 Qualitative Oneness vs. Quantitative Difference18:31 The Complete Whole Principle21:40 The Appeal of False God-Realization22:58 Three Aspects of Self-Realization23:56 The Inevitable Fall from Impersonal Realization25:37 Three Features of the Absolute Truth27:30 The Nature of Transcendental Connection29:40 Comparing Levels of Transcendental Happiness31:27 Rejection of Blind Faith32:42 The Problem of Consciousness Filters33:26 Indescribable Spiritual Delights‎34:52 The Importance of Questioning35:46 Proper vs. Improper Questioning37:07 The Problem of False Self-Importance39:32 Three Authorities in Vedic System41:00 Internal Spiritual Guidance‎43:17 Alignment of Spiritual Authorities45:13 Universal Accessibility of Spiritual Realization46:19 Divine Assistance for Sincere Seekers48:05 Recognition of Spiritual Truth49:30 Encouragement and Final Thoughts50:35 Kirtan Meditation**************************************

A simple prayer can reset a life and reframe a nation's direction, and that's where we begin—asking for blessing as stewardship, God's hand as guidance, and protection from evil that harms neither us nor our neighbors. From there, we press into a stark historical reading from Pope Pius XI that unmasks how destructive ideologies often arrive dressed as peace and charity, and why prayer and penance remain powerful, practical tools for discernment. This is not nostalgia; it's a call to see clearly and live honestly.We move through the poetry of Song of Songs, where love stands as strong as death and refuses to be bought, and into Matthew 16, where Jesus asks the most searching question: “Who do you say I am?” Peter's confession, the promise that the gates of hell will not prevail, and the hard turn toward the cross challenge our appetite for comfort over obedience. The Transfiguration confirms the path—glory is real, but it comes through listening and trust. Along the way, the Psalms lift our eyes to God's strength and unfailing love, while Proverbs warns how flattering lies steer hearts toward ruin. Together they form a pattern for a resilient spiritual life: pray boldly, guard your heart, embrace sacrifice, and speak with wisdom.We also honor Chief Gunner's Mate George F. Brady, a Medal of Honor sailor whose grit under fire saved his ship. His story reminds us that character—quiet, costly, steady—builds the kind of culture we say we want. If you care about faith that thinks, history that warns, and courage that acts, you'll find practical encouragement here and a few anchors for the week ahead.If this resonated, share it with a friend, subscribe for future episodes, and leave a review to help others find the show.

Traci sits down with Chris Hamilton, a benefits consultant who specializes in helping employers cut through the noise of rising healthcare costs, to dig into what's really driving the hardest insurance market in 15 years.  If you sat through open enrollment this year wondering why insurance premiums jumped 20% when you thought it would be single digits, this episode reveals why—and what you can actually do about it.Chris walks through the misaligned incentives that make traditional insurance companies profit when your costs rise, exposes waste hiding in your current plan (like medications available for $300 being charged at $1,000), and breaks down why Wells Fargo and Johnson & Johnson ended up in fiduciary duty lawsuits over benefits decisions. But the real value is the concrete timeline and strategy for what to do starting this month—not waiting until August—to completely reshape your 2026 renewal and actually improve coverage while reducing costs.Contact Information:Connect with Chris Hamilton: Website | LinkedIn | YouTube | The Insider PlaybookConnect with Traci here: https://linktr.ee/HRTraciDisclaimer: Thoughts, opinions, and statements made on this podcast are not a reflection of the thoughts, opinions, and statements of the Company by whom Traci Chernoff is actively employed.Please note that this episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products or services.

Night duty on a military base is supposed to be predictable—quiet hallways, locked rooms, and long stretches of waiting between roll calls. For a federal police officer stationed at Fort Shafter in Hawaii, that routine slowly began to unravel after midnight.At first, it seemed harmless: sitting down to rest between shifts, closing a door, trying to sleep for a few minutes before the next assignment. But certain rooms didn't behave the same way after dark. Each time he dozed off, he woke to the same terrifying realization—his body wouldn't respond, and he wasn't alone.The figures he encountered weren't vague shadows. They appeared clearly, dressed in uniforms that felt out of place for both the base and the time period. Some were aggressive. Others simply watched. And one detail stood out above all else: the encounters didn't stay confined to a single room. Whatever was happening followed him from building to building, always late at night, always when no one else was around.#RealGhostStoriesOnline #TrueGhostStory #MilitaryParanormal #HauntedBase #NightShiftEncounters #UnexplainedExperience #SleepParalysisOrSomethingElse #HawaiiHauntings #ParanormalPodcast #TrueParanormalLove real ghost stories?

FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – Many struggle to trust God, fearing He stands ready to condemn. The good news declares God is for us, not against us. Holy Communion anchors that trust, offering mercy and grace. In weary seasons, small acts of discipline, faithful community, and regular communion renew confidence, strengthen hearts, and remind believers they rest in God's enduring loyalty...

Peaches opens with congratulations—and a warning—to newly selected Air Force Chiefs: the stripe isn't a finish line, it's a daily obligation. From there, he breaks down recent uniform and PT updates, why fitness standards exist beyond checklists, and how preparedness matters even in “non-combat” roles. The episode closes with a nuanced take on recruiting content—why dunking on recruiters misses the point, but accuracy still matters, especially when misinformation creates false expectations for candidates.

Guest: Ronald White. Returning to duty, Chamberlain led a frontal assault at Petersburg in 1864, where he suffered a catastrophic wound through the hips that surgeons deemed fatal. Believing he was dying, he wrote a farewell letter to Fanny, yet miraculously survived due to his brother Tom's help and sheer will. Later, at the Battle of Five Forks, he defended General Warren against General Sheridan's dismissal. At the war's end, Chamberlain was selected to receive the Confederate surrender at Appomattox. In a controversial but defining gesture, he ordered a marching salute to honor the courage of the defeated Southern soldiers.1863 GETTYSBURG

By Bart Bornhorst - Fulfilling our various duties in life is very important. Even of more importance is fulfilling our God given duties, and God clearly defines his duty for His people in Micah 6. Let's see what God is looking for from us.

In this episode, Samantha and Nick examine a wrongful death lawsuit stemming from a non-transport decision—a case that highlights how quickly routine calls can turn into high-stakes legal events. The discussion centers on the death of a 26-year-old man with type 1 diabetes and a seizure disorder who requested transport, was left at home, and was later found deceased. Using the language of the actual court complaint, the episode explores the legal concept of public trust in EMS and what happens when that trust is alleged to be broken.From a leadership and risk-management perspective, the episode dissects the duty to assess, document, and transport—or properly refuse. The hosts examine how documentation choices (“canceled – no patient found”), failure to contact medical control, and leaving a high-risk patient alone can dramatically shift the legal narrative. Particular attention is given to supervisory actions after the call, including how complaint handling, recorded phone conversations, and well-intentioned but poorly worded statements can unintentionally strengthen a plaintiff's case.The conversation also breaks down the legal mechanics of the lawsuit itself, including wrongful death, survivorship, and loss of consortium claims, as well as why a seemingly multimillion-dollar case may settle for far less. Throughout the episode, the emphasis remains on defensible decision-making, understanding administrative and civil liability exposure, and how EMS professionals can protect both patients and their licenses by aligning clinical judgment with documentation and protocol.Key takeawaysNon-transport decisions carry legal weight: Refusing or discouraging transport in high-risk patients invites scrutiny.Documentation is your primary defense: “Canceled – no patient found” is nearly indefensible when patient contact occurred.Duty to assess does not end at the door: Seizure risk, diabetes, and being left alone matter legally and clinically.Medical control can help: Early physician involvement can shift responsibility and improve outcomes.Supervisors must handle complaints carefully: Poorly phrased responses can become admissions of fault.Assume you are being recorded: Phone calls, body cams, and bystanders can all end up in evidence.Do the right thing and write it down: Defensible care starts with sound clinical judgment and ends with accurate documentation.

Ben Rodgers sits down with Baxter Fire Chief Matt White, a Cookeville native who has spent 37 years in emergency services after unexpectedly falling into the field he now loves. Matt shares how growing up in a family of EMTs—and a push from his older brother—led him from working as a mechanic and in a body parts store to volunteering with Putnam County and eventually going full-time in the fire service in 1990. He reflects on how much Cookeville and Baxter have grown, the challenges of staffing a young full-time fire department with just three full-time employees, and the nationwide decline in volunteer firefighters. Matt also talks about the department's 17 current volunteers, the city's growing pains, and his hope to see a second full-time station built in Baxter before he retires. It's an insightful look at dedication, community service, and the future of public safety in a rapidly growing town. Listen To The Local Matters Podcast Today! News Talk 94.1

The war is not over because the evil we are fighting still is a threat; we just chose, time and again, to look away from it, and we can no longer do that. Standing back in IDF reserve duty in the Judean Hills, I'm reminded of the 35 Palmach fighters murdered here in 1948, proof that this same murderous ideology has stalked us for generations, changing slogans but never its purpose.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

I'm Howler. A man with a compulsion to create.Welcome back to the Bone Brew, Brave Souls. It is a new year and as is common for most, I have been looking back on things and thinking about where I will take my craft over the next year.I wrote this article last year: This Time Next Year. A vow, about where I wanted to go and what I wanted to do. This is somewhat of an amendment but not really. More like a reintroduction to Me, The Bonebrew, and the Art I seek to create.I don't believe in resolutions. I think that instead, Refusals are far more potent. I think that decisions are far more valuable. So this Article is an expounding upon the conversation in the video. Enjoy! I have quotes and words that guide me.Guide Posts:* Temperance* Awe* Be a Monster* Look at your life, look at your choices.* Slow is Smooth, Smooth is fast.* You are the Universe Experiencing itself.The Newest wordAttendSimple, elegant, not as weighty or heavy as Responsibility, Discipline, Obligation, or Duty (ha I said duty)I think the word ATTEND, Is a North Star this 2026The LieI have lived many a Life.* Soldier* Plumber* Corporate drone* BartenderMore I don't even care to count. Thing is that Often times we will tell creatives that the breadth of experience is the key to making long lasting creative works. And to some degree that has merit but I posit after mulling this over for the last five years; that is frankly a lie, and at best a half truth.We frame it as Tuition for lessons learned. We frame it as cutting our teeth in other fields, we frame it as the long way around. All of it is Cope. Stories to make ourselves feel better for not doing the thing. What ever that creative thing maybe, whether drawing, writing, painting, film making.Excuses and AvoidanceAll of it.Here's a thought experiment. Do you think the first people who drew Superman ever went skydiving?Just sit with that for a second. Did they ever go skydiving? Would they know what it's like to fly?But they drew Superman flying, jumping tall buildings, running at the speed of sound. Did they know what that felt like?So I know, and I can tell you, that art does not require experience.My RoadI can't speak as if I know you. I can only speak from my own road, my own experience. I opened my eyes one morning and felt like I'd wasted time. I was asking myself what the hell I was really doing. There was a festering rot in the pit of my stomach and in the back of my throat…“Plumbing, feeds that part of me that wants to leave something behind so it's feasible. You know, practical artistry…” Every time I said it, I could taste the bile of falsehood bubbling. A half truth. I was sacrificing for love, for obligation, I was being disciplined. There in lies the rub, the friction of it all. The greatest cage I could ever find myself in, the one of my own making. The title of Father, of Husband. Titles I wear proudly.Yet, I could feel the rot. Bubbling, building.This stuff here, this art thing for me, is like its own weird introspective therapy. Its own weird sense of clarity. It helps me think. It challenges me. Oh my God, does it challenge me.And without that... I said this to my dad the other day about it. I would be one mean son of a bitch. God, would I be one mean son of a bitch. If I don't get time to create, I get cranky.The CostWhat pray tell is it?The Anchor of Resentment.To name the thing is to disarm it, to remove it's power. Or at the very least that is the first step. I was resentful of the Titles I wore so proudly. How? Why? How is it that I found myself resenting Roles that I have wanted since I was a boy? How was that even remotely possible?It is far easier, to sail the seas of Novelty without any direction. Yet the cost is often being drowned by the Anchor(s) of Resentment, no matter how noble the Sacrifice. It is only when you are drowning that you will scramble for the closest piece of land. That is when you find yourself where you don't want to be, where you never dreamed of being. The thing about the anchor is this. You might not drown today. Tomorrow.But if you allow it... you will find the entire ship of yur life sinking. And you won't understand why.I'd allowed myself to drift and be taken by the current on the Sea of Novelty, I'd Abandoned myself for the sake of Family.How dangerous a thing. Not for me, but for the ones I love so dearly. I found I was willing to kill my dreams for them, whether I wanted to or not and in doing so I would grow to hate them all the same.The RemedyBut again friction.The RubThey didn't ask that of me, they did not require I kill a part of myself. On the contrary they want the fullest version of me.How would I ever be able to show up for them If I could not show up for myself? How could I ever fully give them my attention if I was always thinking of something else?These were the questions I found and in the asking the answer came from an unlikely source.My boy, my lil dragon, my monster. My son.AttendWe find ourselves back at that word.I took to taking walks with him during the evenings. I try to see the world through his eyes. He notices ants everywhere. The way a blade of grass is different from another. The awe in every lizard, every cloud, in the stars. He notices the things I walk by everyday without notice or care. The Mundane.He simply pays attention to the Mundane.Life is Mundane, most of us will not live some extraordinary existence, most of us will have died within a few miles of where we grew up. Creation does not require some grand adventure. You don't gain the right to be creative because you were adventurous. There is no reward system for having had an extraordinary life. Hell, Kings think themselves ordained by the heavens and it is as normal as breathing, they think their lives mundane because they awake in it each and every day.So what does it take to be a Creative?Attention.In my estimate You must attend to three things.* First and foremost* Your CraftWhatever that craft may be, attend to it's study, inner workings, and the pursuit of it's mastery. Because there is no craft without it's rules, principles, or best practices.* Secondly* SelfYour well being, your mental, your emotional, your spiritual. You ought to know what makes you tick. You ought to know what sets you on fire. You ought to know the question you are constantly seeking to answer within your own craft, and in life.* Lastly * The Mundane. The thing that spits in the face of the ‘Go live' platitude. As creatives we are the ones who make the mundane spectacular, whether it be a starry night, the whine of string, or the horror of human depravity. We are the ones who open the eyes of others, we are the ones who remind people of themselves. We are the bridge between the fantastical and the mundane, the speculative and the everyday.I don't claim that this is easy. Or that world is even conducive to this always. I do know it is the only antidote I have found, the only answer that seems to work for me.It is mundane, monotonous, repetitive, routine work. I used to hate doing that. I used to hate doing the same thing over and over again. But it is here we find depth, It is only in repetition that you find mastery.2026So, this 2026, I am choosing the Depth.I'm choosing the thing that keeps calling my name in the dead of night. The thing that keeps howling at me.Regardless of what I'm doing. The thing I'm constantly thinking about.I'm choosing it. And as I choose it, I refuse to not attend to my life. I will attend to the mundane in all of its glory.That is my refusal.That is my decision.I refuse to be trapped and drowned by the anchors of resentment.But instead, I am deciding to instead Dive into the depths!This you?If you find yourself on the same path that I was on, and you find yourself mulling something over for years at a time,Find yourself resenting your titles, your Roles, then I implore you.I implore you to dive into the depths, because that is where the anchor residesBecause only in the depths will you be able to cut yourself free from those anchors.Welcome to the bone brew.I am Howler.I'm just a man speaking from the road.A Birthday RequestI turn another year older TODAY!I'm not a fan of gifts.

Advancing longevity research is about honoring the value of life—and translating that respect into evidence-based prevention. If healthcare is judged by life expectancy + quality of life, longevity medicine may be one of the most meaningful metrics we can pursue: extending health span through early detection, validated biomarkers, and interventions that scale.This unforgettable Expert Panel from the 4th annual Medical Innovation Olympics (#MIO2025) convened all-star global leaders in Longevity and Preventive Medicine who separated hype from reality and outlined what it will take to bring longevity into mainstream care - rigorously, ethically, and accessibly.Topics include: breakthroughs (including epigenetic approaches pointing toward functional restoration of eyesight), biomarkers/endpoints as the “keystone” for faster trials, the TAME (Targeting Aging with Metformin) concept, and the role of standards, education, trust, and shared responsibility—keeping dignity central.Panelists:Dr. David Barzilai (Harvard Medical School; Geneva College of Longevity Science, GCLS) • Dr. Dominik Thor (President, GCLS) • Dr. Mishkat Shehata (Emirates Lifestyle & Longevity Medicine Society) • Keith Comito (Lifespan Research Institute) • Dr. Uma Senthilkumar (Three Five Revive)

Smoke in your lungs, fire at your back, and a decision you can't postpone: run or turn around and help. That's where our conversation goes when a Marine walks us through an Osprey crash in Australia—alarms, hard banks, treetops, impact, then blackness split by orange flame. He unstraps, bolts, then sprints back to push guys farther from the heat, watching crew pull a barely conscious crew chief from the wreck. The pilots didn't make it. The adrenaline masked pain for hours; the paperwork later masked responsibility.To watch the full episode in studio, visit: https://youtu.be/Z03jag9JUtcBefore that day, he'd already been recalibrated by the world. MSG duty stationed him at embassies where suits, diplomacy, and three‑letter agencies share space and secrets. Tokyo set a new high bar for food quality, cleanliness, and civic discipline—Ikigai made visible in daily work. In Riyadh, he discovered how rules and reality diverge, where expats and elites create an underground nightlife, and how scarcity turns access into currency. Those scenes weren't about flexing; they were about understanding how networks, incentives, and culture really move people.Back in the fleet, Australia's ranges delivered heat, snakes, crocs, and the kind of miles that make you question why the range is always twenty clicks away. Then came the flight he couldn't shake. Afterward, flying became a ritual of white‑knuckled prayer. The VA process added its own turbulence. Meanwhile, travel kept tugging. Ancient stones in Egypt and temple quiet in Kyoto didn't just awe—they argued. Over time, he found his way back to faith, this time owned and practiced: Orthodox prayer morning and night and a willingness to speak plainly online about politics, war, and conscience because he's stood close to the consequences.If you're here for action, you'll get it.

I am the captain on this journey called life,I've sailed through storms, struggles and strife.I protect my passengers, cargo and crew,What's best for them is what I will do.☉Sawasdeeka New Paradigmers!All aboard!  The mighty vessel, 2026, is leaving the harbor of 2025 and the past behind.  It's time to decide what comes and what goes, who and what stays behind and what's essential for the journey ahead.  It's time for, drum roll please, you guessed it, CAPRICORN. It's interesting that the Sabian symbols for both the Sun and Full Moon have to do with what is permanent (truth) while Capricorn, ruled by Saturn, has dominion over this temporary, physical, third dimensional realm.  The big word that comes to me for Capricorn is RIGHT.  Right versus wrong, right action, right thought, righteousness, inalienable rights, etc.  When in doubt, or whenever we need to make a decision, it would seem the obvious choice is simply to do what's right. Right? Sometimes it's hard to determine what's right.  However, in the case of Capricorn (and these times) what's right is based upon what's best for the whole, the group, the community, those people and things that we have taken responsibility for, and our DUTY.  Some duties we have taken on voluntarily and committed to (another keyword for Saturn/Capricorn) while others have simply been given to us, hence the association of this archetype with “karma.”  One way or the other, as we move through life, we end up with responsibilities toward others and the outside world (financial comes to mind here too) and these increase as we get older.  But, no matter how old we are, we have decisions to make, and these first two months of 2026 will be full of big ones for many of us.  It's probably important to keep in mind here that not making a decision is a decision!  When in doubt, CHOOSE, you cannot make a wrong choice, as when you are in your integrity you are simply doing the best you can with what you've got.  We're all wounded, we're perfectly imperfect, we're all learning, we're all afraid.  We come to each and every decision carrying all of these, and, RIGHT ACTION, under these circumstances, is to humbly accept ourselves and life AS IS, going on a whim and prayer that what we do will, in some way, help it.  Knowing that we're all doing the best we can with who and what we are, our karmic past and our soul's intentions, can not only assist us in having mercy on ourselves but having compassion for others.  Let's all go forward together and create a happy new year! This week's song is "Shine On You Crazy Diamond!" https://youtu.be/lKJ8n8xYd-Q?si=Cs1_whVAOLi892AeSo Much Love,Kaypacha

As New Year's Eve approaches and many of us think about resolutions, we're pulling a classic episode from the vault: "Our Duty to Improve." In this candid conversation recorded a few years ago, Greg and Ed the Protestant reflect on a question that's both practical and deeply doctrinal: Does God expect us to become better versions of ourselves? Drawing from Scripture (like the Parable of the Talents), the idea of stewardship, and their own experiences in evangelical and Catholic circles, they challenge the popular notion that "God loves you just as you are" means there's no call to grow, mature, or change. They talk about sanctification not as optional self-help, but as a real responsibility to steward well the time, body, relationships, and opportunities God has entrusted to us. It's a timely reminder that salvation by grace is the starting line—not the finish—and that authentic Christian life should produce visible fruit over time. Perfect for anyone making (or rethinking) New Year's resolutions through the lens of faith.

Jesus said we should pray like children. Children don't think about how they approach, whether they are using the right words, or whether their parents are pleased with them. They just ask. Astoundingly, that's the beginning of learning to pray.

Discipleship: A Duty for All Christians

This episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson takes a hard look at the growing contradictions surrounding Erika Kirk and the direction of TPUSA's AmFest (or should I say IsFest). From Charlie Kirk's own recorded warnings about bad cultural role models to TPUSA turning around and platforming those very same celebrities (Nicki Minaj included) whose lifestyles openly contradict Christian teaching, the hypocrisy is no longer ignorable.We're breaking down how moral inconsistency, pop-culture appeasement, and ideological confusion are rotting the conservative movement from the inside out. America First cannot exist without Christianity first—not as a buzzword, not as branding, but as the moral and cultural foundation of who we are. And right now, we are watching our spiritual and national identity slip away in real time.When so-called Christian leaders blur lines, excuse the very behavior they once condemned, and choose influence over truth, they don't just lose credibility, they lose the plot (and they lose the people who trusted them).This episode is a call for honesty, consistency, and real conservative leadership rooted in the Christian values they claim to stand for. Not clout, not platforms, and not sinful worldliness.We don't need people playing leaders.We need actual leadership.—https://www.bible.com/

In his return to the Bill Press Pod, Dr. Gartner provides an in-depth analysis of President Donald Trump's cognitive health, asserting that Trump exhibits signs of severe cognitive decline and personality disorders such as malignant narcissism. He discusses specific instances that showcase Trump's deteriorating mental state, including erratic behavior, memory lapses, and lack of empathy. The episode delves into the challenges and dangers posed by Trump's mental condition, its implications on his presidency, and potential future scenarios.Today Bill once again highlights the work of Chef Jose Andres' World Central Kitchen. While the Trump administration is decimating America's soft power around the world, and our role as a provider of aid to people and countries in peril, the World Central Kitchen goes where they're needed.

News of a U.S. attack on a boat off the coast of Venezuela—which included a second strike on survivors of the first—has raised new concerns about the administration's operations against alleged drug traffickers. Legal analysts, including some at Lawfare, call the second strike clearly unlawful. So why did the U.S. military agree to follow the order?On today's episode, Executive Editor Natalie Orpett discusses the roles and responsibilities of military personnel with Frank Rosenblatt, a professor at MC Law and a former U.S. Army Lt. Col and Judge Advocate General in the U.S. Army, and Colby Vokey, former Marine Corps Lt. Col and Judge Advocate General. They talk about the duty to disobey unlawful orders, the complexity of choosing to do so, and what it means for the future of U.S. operations.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

I know you've felt like, in the past, you've been hesitant to share your true feelings and beliefs. Maybe you didn't want to offend that woman you were pursuing. Or, maybe you didn't want to upset your boss and run the risk of losing your job. Or, maybe you were afraid of what society or social media would say if you shared your true thoughts. My guest today, Father Stephen Gadberry, is familiar with all of that in a way that many of us relate with. As a Catholic priest, US Air Force Veteran, and American Ninja Warrior competitor, he knows how compelling public criticism can become. Today, Father Gadberry and I talk about discipline, what "turning the other cheek," really means, how to handle false accusations, what true accountability actually means, the difference between your "vocation," and "occupation," and how God will speak to all of us.
