With Iran’s supreme leader killed and retaliation unfolding, the US and Israel appear to be testing the durability of the Islamic Republic. But Iran’s political system was designed to survive leadership loss and outside pressure. What does Washington misunderstand about Tehran’s structure, and how far is Iran prepared to go?

Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/enduretotheendpod/Zunex Pest Control: https://www.instagram.com/zunexpestco/Today we talk about what it really looks like to forgive when it feels undeserved or unfair. So often, hurt leads us to people please, over-explain, or try to control the narrative just to protect ourselves. But forgiveness asks us to release that control and trust God instead.We reflect on the Savior's example. His love was never conditional, yet He didn't chase approval. We discuss how losing people doesn't mean losing yourself, how God's love remains steady through every season, and why forgiveness is less about excusing others and more about freeing your own heart. In the end, choosing forgiveness is choosing peace, perspective, and an eternal focus even when it's hard.00:00 – Welcome to Endure to the End01:12 – How people pleasing gives away your power08:16 – Trying to control the narrative14:47 – God's love is not conditional21:14 – Jesus loved everyone but gave access to few26:20 – Habits vs personality31:38 – Seasons of independence38:18 – Losing people doesn't mean losing yourself44:33 – Think Celestial moment

In 2 Timothy 2:1, Paul toldhis son in the faith, Timothy, to “be strong in the grace that is in ChristJesus.” So I encourage you—be strong in grace. This grace comes throughhumility, through confession of sin, through recognizing every moment your needfor the Lord Jesus Christ and His blood to cleanse you, to help you, and togive you everything you need to be all that you should be for the glory of God.That is the grace of God—the unmerited favor of God. You do not deserve it, butyou come humbly, asking for it. And my friend, when you resist the devil, andhe will flee from you. ThenPaul goes on to say in verses 2-3, “The things that you have heard from meamong many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teachothers also. You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of JesusChrist.” Today, I want to encourage you to be a soldier who knows howto use the sword of the Spirit skillfully. You cannot use something skillfullyunless you practice with it. You must take time to read the Word, to study theWord, to memorize the Word, to apply the Word to your life, and to share itwith others. We also find that the Word of God helps us grow in the grace andknowledge of Jesus Christ. That growth happens as we remain in the Word of God. Anotherthing to remember is that the Word of God is what fuels reformation and revivalin our churches. Think of Martin Luther in the 1500s. It was the Word of God—“Thejust shall live by faith”—from the book of Romans that stirred his heart totake a stand against the heresies being taught by the church in his day. Ifthere is going to be reformation in the church, it will always come through theWord of God. The church has always been reformed and revived by God's Word—notby entertainment, not by cleverness, not by the trends of the day, but by Hisholy Word. It is always the Word of God, which brings transformation,reformation, and revival to our personal lives, our churches, our homes, andour nation! Sohow do we take up the sword? We take the helmet of salvation, and we take thesword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. You must pick it up. You mustchoose to use it. You must carry it. You do that by reading God's Worddaily—every day (Matthew 4:4). You study the Word carefully. As you read, youask questions: What does this mean? What is the context? What is God saying?How does this apply to my life today? Youmemorize the Word, as we have discussed. You speak the Word out loud in faith.We read in Mark 11:23-24, that whatever you say in faith, believing, you willreceive. That happens when you are praying the Word and the promises of Godback to Him. Oh, how important that is. Then you obey the Word. You are notlike a man building his life on sand; you are building on the foundation of theWord of God. Why? Because Jesus said the wise man is the one who hears Hiswords and does them (Matthew 7:24-27). Myfriend, let me give you a final of encouragement today from this passage inEphesians 6:10-17: You do not have to live a defeated life. You do not have tobe confused. You do not have to be tossed about by your feelings. God has givenus everything we need to stand—the whole armor of God. And as we conclude withthe offensive weapon, the sword of the Spirit, we are reminded again of itspower. Take it up. Open your Bible. Believe what God says. Use the Word tofight temptation. Use the Word to resist lies. Use the Word to encourage others.Use the Word to witness and tell others who Jesus is. Most of all, use the Wordof God in prayer. Spend time in prayer. We will see in the next verses theimportance of prayer connected to the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word ofGod. Myfriend, Satan cannot defeat you when you are standing armed in God's Word. Howwonderful that is—because he is dealing with a soldier who is equipped. So,take up the Word of God, the sword of the Spirit and by the grace that is givenyou in Christ Jesus.

Faith isn't proven by what we agree with—it's revealed by how we respond. In the opening message of Faith in Motion, Dr. Ernest Grant II walks through James 1:1–12 and confronts the gap between intention and obedience. James reminds us that trials aren't pointless interruptions; they are God's tools for formation, endurance, and maturity. If you've ever felt scattered, squeezed, or stuck, this message calls you to stop stalling and start moving. Faith doesn't wait for perfect conditions—it takes the next step. Just endure it.

The Theology of Resilience: Trusting God When Life Doesn’t Make Sense with Daniel RitchieResilience isn’t just the ability to survive hardship…it’s the courage to believe that God is still good, purposeful, and present in the middle of it. Today’s guest embodies that truth in a powerful way. Daniel Ritchie was born without arms, something that, by the world’s standards, could have defined his limitations. But instead of allowing his circumstances to dictate his identity or future, Daniel has chosen a life marked by faith, joy, perseverance, and purpose.This conversation goes far beyond overcoming adversity. It’s about how emotional wounds can run deeper than physical ones, the power that is found through surrender, as well as rooting and anchoring our identity in Christ, and how weakness, when placed in God’s hands, can become a platform for His strength.Daniel is a longtime evangelist, speaker, author, and currently serves as First Vice President of the Southern Baptist Convention. But at his core, he is a man who has learned to trust God deeply, even when life didn’t make sense.Links:Daniel’s Website: https://danielritchie.com/about-daniel/Pick up a Copy of My Affliction for His Glory: https://www.amazon.com/My-Affliction-His-Glory-Identity/dp/1683590821Pick up a copy of Endure: https://www.amazon.com/Endure-Building-Faith-Long-Run/dp/1683595416 About Daniel - Daniel Ritchie A post from DRITCH9 on Daniel Ritchie provided by: https://danielritchie.com Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Send a textThis episode of FUTUREPROOF. is different.My guest is Trevor Reed, a former U.S. Marine who was wrongfully detained and abused in a Russian gulag for nearly three years, freed in a high-profile prisoner exchange in 2022—and then made a decision few could comprehend: he voluntarily went to Ukraine to fight against the same system that imprisoned him.In this conversation, Trevor reflects on what captivity does to the human mind, how survival reshapes your definition of justice, and why freedom—real freedom—can't be taken for granted once you've lost it.We talk about:What daily life inside a Russian penal colony is actually like—and how close he came to dying thereThe mental discipline required to survive prolonged isolation, hunger, and uncertaintyThe emotional toll of being turned into a geopolitical bargaining chipWhy revenge eventually gave way to a deeper definition of justiceThe surreal contrast between everyday life and active war zones in UkraineBeing critically wounded by a landmine—and what it means to survive twiceHow his understanding of freedom, responsibility, and humanity has fundamentally changedThis is not a conversation about politics. It's a conversation about power, resilience, moral injury, and what it means to remain human when systems fail you.Trevor's memoir, Retribution: A Former US Marine's Harrowing Journey from Wrongful Imprisonment in Russia to the Front Lines of the Ukrainian War, is not an easy read—but it is an important one. And this conversation is not comfortable—but it is necessary.

an expository sermon on Hebrews 12:5-11 preached by Pastor Jordan Atkinson on February 8, 2026

Rev. Jim Harden, CEO of CompassCare and author of a new book “Endure Rising Christian Persecution,” discusses what rising Christian persecution in America means for believers living out their faith in the public square.

We have all been through it. The hard stuff. Not the surface-level kind. I'm talking about the deep, heavy hits. Health scares. Job loss. Business collapses. Divorce. Infidelity. Struggles with your kids.So how do you endure without breaking? How do you stay upright when life hits hard? I'll give you three anchors. And these aren't theoretical. These are lived, tested, and real.

Australia correspondent Nick Grimm spoke to Lisa Owen about political conservatives in Australia continuing to endure upheaval, with the opposition there undergoing leadership instability and polls showing the coalition parties haemorraging support to hard-right party One Nation.

(00:00:00) First, we speak with Elizabeth Zucker of the Dauphin County Historical Society and Noah Lewis, the living historian who portrays Edward “Ned” Hector, a Black Revolutionary War soldier whose bravery at the Battle of Brandywine challenges the incomplete narratives many Americans learned in school. We explore why the John Harris–Simon Cameron Mansion is an essential site for telling stories of underrepresented patriots, how living history deepens public understanding, and what audiences can expect at the February 22 event Forgotten Patriot: The Story of Ned Hector. (00:26:00) Then, we shift to Punxsutawney, where **Butch Philliber—better known as Iceman—**offers a rare look inside the Groundhog Club’s Inner Circle. As caretakers of Punxsutawney Phil and stewards of a tradition dating back to 1886, the Inner Circle keeps alive a ritual that blends folklore, community pride, and a moment of national anticipation each February 2. We explore why Groundhog Day remains such a powerful cultural touchstone and how it continues to evolve as the country approaches its 250th year.

This week, we kicked off our sermon series Established as we take a look at the different stories throughout 1 Samuel. This week, we looked at the story of Hannah and how she was barren but rooted in God and found His faithfulness amidst disappointment.1 Samuel 1:1-2 Genesis 2:24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.Matthew 19:4-6  He (Jesus) answered, “Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female, 5  and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'?  6  So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”  I SAMUEL 1:3-18 Being Established DURING Great Disappointment1. Continue in Prayer 10, 12, 13, 16, 26, 27.2. Endure in all Things 183.

Welcome to another episode of Endure to the End with Josh and Caitlin.In this episode, we respond to questions from our Instagram community and dive into a thoughtful discussion about how this generation is living the gospel differently than previous generations.We talk about the difference between doctrine and culture, especially here in Utah. Perfectionism can sometimes creep into church life in ways that aren't really doctrinal at all. We want to be careful not to judge ourselves or others by human standards that God never intended.Service and church callings are meant to help us grow and connect with one another and with God. But enduring doesn't require us to be perfect. It requires us to be sincere, humble, and willing to keep trying.We also explore how we want to teach our children — focusing on gospel principles instead of comparisons. We discuss boundaries, agency, and why growth comes line upon line. Just like you can't cheat running, you can't cheat spiritual progression either.The main takeaway:Give your best effort. Trust God's grace. And don't get trapped chasing an image of perfection.We close with a powerful scripture from Ether 12:27 about weakness, humility, and the sufficiency of grace in our lives.Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/enduretotheendpod/Zunex Pest Control: https://www.instagram.com/zunexpestco/00:03 – Welcome and introduction00:25 – Instagram questions from listeners00:43 – Responding to intense submissions01:03 – How this generation lives the gospel differently01:18 – Teaching doctrine over culture02:04 – Perfectionism and cultural pressure02:47 – Avoiding judgment by human standards05:10 – Pressure felt by millennials08:23 – Comparison as the thief of joy10:08 – You can't cheat spirituality11:43 – Scripture about not running faster than strength12:24 – Balancing capacity and grace15:41 – Personal experience with postpartum and callings19:08 – Accountability and agency21:30 – Peace through sincere service24:38 – True closeness with God27:17 – Lessons learned from friction33:09 – Testimony of service41:03 – Becoming more Christlike42:03 – Scripture: Ether 12:2744:16 – Final thoughts44:41 – Closing testimony

12 So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” 16 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. 19 For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. 23 And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. 24 For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.1.     If you are a Christian, do you ever think of yourself as “just” forgiven, but not really a son and heir of God?2.     Do you ever feel like an orphan? What triggers that and how does that impact you? What can you do to remember the gospel truth of adoption in those moments?3.     Is it difficult for you to think of God as a father, and address him with the affection and familiarity of “Abba”? Why or why not?4.     Does being assured that you are a son and heir encourage you to fight, fight to grow and fight your sin? Why or why not?5.     How does current suffering and future glorification come out in your cost/benefit analysis? Do God's promises in Jesus make the suffering worth it, or bearable, in your mind?6.     Do you see the slight difference between faith and hope? Do you ever find yourself faithful but not hopeful? How does that impact your thoughts and actions?

#206 - What if the voices you let in are steering your life more than your goals are? That question sparked a wide-ranging, grounded conversation with Sagar Soni—nuclear engineer, creator of Beyond the Speech podcast, and a traveler who learned the hard way that more content and more checklists don't equal meaning. We trace his path from bingeing self-help at 1.5x to a simple, liberating switch: trade “I have to” for “I get to,” and watch momentum return without the pressure cooker of perfection.We dig into overwhelm and how to spot it, the subtle difference between being burnt out and being avoidant, and why a little “productive negativity” can get you off the couch when motivational quotes won't. Sagar shares a daily two-part question—“How am I feeling right now, and why?”—that turns vibes into data and helps you find what drains your energy and what gives it back. We also talk books that endure, from Ryan Holiday's stoicism to Cameron Hanes' Endure, and how to move from collecting ideas to actually living them.Travel threads through the episode like a second heartbeat. Sagar reflects on early all-inclusives, photo-heavy Europe, and the trip that changed everything: hiking Hawaii's lava fields and practicing presence. The takeaway is clear and human: it's neither the journey nor the destination—it's the company. That conviction grew stronger through real hardship as he and his wife navigated miscarriages, using travel to reset, and later building guardrails like always answering calls from family and friends after moving far from home.We close by looking forward: Sagar's “three relationships” framework—self, purpose, and people—now guides his podcast and his next leap into public speaking, including a confirmed TEDx talk. If you've ever felt behind, flooded by advice, or stuck between big dreams and real life, this conversation offers practical tools and honest encouragement. Listen, share with a friend who grounds you, and if it resonates, subscribe and leave a quick review so more people can find these stories.To learn more about Sagar Soni check out his podcast Beyond the Speech wherever you listen to podcasts and be sure to give him a follow on Instagram @sagarsoni_1991.I would love to have you follow along on my Instagram account as well @humanadventurepod.

Guest: Jim HardenMinistry: CompassCarePosition: FounderBook: Endure the Rising Christian Persecution: For the Greater Reward  Website: compasscarecommunity.com

The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof,     the world and those who dwell therein,2 for he has founded it upon the seas     and established it upon the rivers.3 Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord?     And who shall stand in his holy place?4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart,     who does not lift up his soul to what is false     and does not swear deceitfully.5 He will receive blessing from the Lord     and righteousness from the God of his salvation.6 Such is the generation of those who seek him,     who seek the face of the God of Jacob.Psalm 24:12 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.Hebrews 12:2THE CROSS WAS NOT EASY FOR JESUS.Endure: to suffer patientlyTHE AGONY OF THE CROSS WAS WORTH IT BECAUSE THE REWARD OUTWEIGHED IT.THE REWARD THAT OUTWEIGHED THE CROSS FOR JESUS WAS PEOPLE.When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, 2 since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. 3 And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. John 17:1-318 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[b] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”Matthew 28:18-20The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof,     the world and those who dwell therein,Psalm 24:1“We don't bring God into culture—God is already there, calling it home.”Leslie Newbigin DECLARING > CONVINCINGWe are called to announce good news, not argue people into belief.5 For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants[c] for Jesus' sake. 6 For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.2 Corinthians 4:5-62 And Paul went in, as was his custom, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures, 3 explaining and proving that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead, and saying, “This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ.” 4 And some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, as did a great many of the devout Greeks and not a few of the leading women. Acts 17:2-42. STEWARDSHIP > OWNERSHIP3 for you are still of the flesh. For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human way? 4 For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not being merely human?5 What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each. 6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. 7 So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. 8 He who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his wages according to his labor. 9 For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's field, God's building.1 Corinthians 3:3-93. THE POWER OF THE SPIRIT > THE POWER OF METHODSNot by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of hosts.Zechariah 4:62 For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling, 4 and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 so that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men[c] but in the power of God.1 Corinthians 2:2-5

What if the secret to finishing well isn't trying harder but traveling lighter? We open Hebrews chapter 12 with a vivid race metaphor and get practical about how to lay down every weight and the sin that so easily clings. The “cloud of witnesses” aren't distant spectators; they are living case studies that God keeps his promises, and their stories invite us to keep moving when life feels heavy.We talk about the difference between overt sin and subtle weights—those time-sucking habits, crowded calendars, and misaligned priorities that quietly choke our joy and our service. Endurance grows when our eyes are fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith. His path ran through the cross, but his focus was the joy set before him: redeemed people, the Father's glory, the completion of his mission. That future focus gives us a model for pressing through our own “wall” moments with resilient hope, not hype.We also tackle the honest reality that striving against sin is normal and ongoing. Hebrews doesn't shame the fight; it dignifies it. Instead of pretending perfection, we cultivate habits, boundaries, and confession that keep us moving forward. And when the text turns to divine discipline, we discover it as love in action—God training, correcting, and pruning us for fruit that lasts. Discipline may feel painful in the moment, but it is proof of belonging and a path to maturity.If you've felt weighed down, distracted, or discouraged, this conversation will help you name the weights, see the finish line, and run with endurance.

In this episode of Endure to the End, we talk honestly about LDS callings—what they are, what they aren't, and how to navigate them with faith and personal revelation.We explore the question many members quietly wrestle with: Should I say yes or no when I'm called? Through prayer, discernment, and lived experience, we discuss how callings are meant to be an invitation to serve—not a hierarchy, not a measure of worth, and not a competition.We talk about serving God even when it's hard, honoring individual circumstances, and trusting that revelation looks different for everyone. Whether you're currently holding a calling, feeling burned out, or wondering how to set faithful boundaries, this episode is a reminder that we are all servants of God—and that He works through willing hearts, not pressure or comparison.Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/enduretotheendpod/Zunex Pest Control: https://www.instagram.com/zunexpestco/00:00 – Introduction and episode trigger warning00:25 – Life updates and celebrating our anniversary02:00 – Pivoting the podcast direction04:03 – Returning to endurance topics05:35 – The Florida business collapse06:00 – Josh's darkest mental health season07:37 – Supporting each other through different seasons09:53 – Learning to surrender and trust10:43 – Performance anxiety and identity in work14:55 – Sponsor break: Zunex Pest Control18:09 – God's unchanging love22:13 – Endurance as a web of relationships25:22 – Parallels between running and the gospel27:39 – Final thoughts on enduring together33:47 – Testimony of faith and service44:15 – Closing encouragement

Hebrews 12:1-11

In this episode, I explain why my stance on supplements has shifted and react to a New York Times article by Alex Hutchinson (author of Endure and The Explorer’s Gene) that cuts through the hype surrounding fitness supplements and asks a simple question: which ones actually work? I break down why the supplement industry is such a mess, including research showing that many so-called workout boosters contain unlabeled stimulants, steroids, or dangerously high doses of caffeine, how one study revealed that creatine gummies made by several leading supplements brands actually contained zero (or just trace amounts of) creatine, and why “more” is rarely better when it comes to performance enhancement. From there, I walk through what Hutchinson calls the “Big Proven Five”: caffeine, creatine, sodium bicarbonate (yes, baking soda), beta-alanine, and nitrates. I explain how each one works, who it’s actually useful for, and the real-world tradeoffs—like why caffeine’s performance benefits depend heavily on dose and timing, why creatine’s gains show up over months rather than days, and why elite endurance athletes are suddenly embracing bicarb gels despite decades of GI horror stories. I also touch on supplements that have come and gone since the I.O.C.’s 2018 position paper—ketones, collagen, antioxidant cocktails—and where protein powder fits on the blurry line between “food” and “supplement.” If you’ve ever wondered what’s legit, what’s risky, and what’s just expensive hype, this episode will help you make sense of it all.

REEVALUATING CANADA'S RELATIONSHIP WITH CUBA AMIDST VENEZUELAN TENSIONS Colleague Charles Burton. John Batchelor and Charles Burton discuss whether Ottawa's friendly ties with Havana will endure given the unfolding Venezuela episode and US scrutiny. Burton argues that Cuba's failing economy and rising repression make it difficult for Canada to justify its support, suggesting the Castro dictatorship must ultimately come to an end. 1899 HAVANA
