Podcasts about Enemies

Jesus challenges us to love our enemies.  Why?  Because God loves us...even when we are far from loveable. (Lectionary #440) September 11, 2025 - Cathedral Rectory - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com  

Fr. Patrick preached this homily on September 11, 2025. The readings are from Colossians 3:12-17, Psalm 150:1b-2, 3-4, 5-6 & Luke 6:27-38. — Connect with us! Website: https://slakingthirsts.com/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCytcnEsuKXBI-xN8mv9mkfw

Father tells us how to do the impossible; Love our enemies!

Do you have any enemies? Enemies are people who make your life uncomfortable, difficult. They may cause unnecessary hurt or discord, and they are generally at odds with you in many ways, intentional or unintentional. The "Love Your Enemy" Principle Here is a principle from Matthew 5 that gives us direct guidance on dealing with a relationship “enemy.” You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous (Matthew 5:43-45). What a revolutionary teaching this was. Never before had anyone taught such convoluted doctrine. It goes against all our instincts to love our enemies. It demands an attitude foreign to our nature. It requires self-denial, which seems imminently unfair and all but impossible. That's the way it often is with biblical principles. They go against our grain, but if you have some relationship “enemies,” God will empower you to love them if you are willing. Remember, loving doesn't necessarily mean liking. This kind of love is an action, a set of our will, a decision to act in loving ways, even though our feelings may not be warm and fuzzy. If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; if he is thirsty give him water to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the Lord will reward you (Proverbs 25:21-22). In these two passages from Matthew and Proverbs we learn three things about how we are to treat our enemies: We are to love our enemies. We are to pray for our enemies. We are to give our enemies what they need. We aren't promised our enemies will change or appreciate our loving attitude. But when we respond in loving ways toward people who make our lives difficult, we keep ourselves from sinning and we demonstrate the love of Jesus in very real ways.

President Donald Trump held a tech summit last week where a number of notable tech CEOs and gurus—who previously were vehement opponents of Trump—met at the White House. This included former Microsoft CEO Bill Gates, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, members of Google, and more. It's a quid pro quo: If major tech companies stop offshoring and start investing billions of dollars in the U.S. and create jobs, then Trump will approve their investments, productions, and use of greater energy sources. Victor Davis Hanson breaks it all down and explains how this move is similar to what former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt did when World War II broke out on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”  “These CEOs don't like Trump. They're opposed to him ideologically, but they have one thing in common: They're patriotic.”  “Maybe, just maybe, Trump can do for the United States in these emerging, absolutely essential fields of artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency, robotics, genetic engineering what FDR did in the War Production Board.”

This podcast is Part Two of the Seven Part Series with LA Marzulli addressing the impact of the antichrist spirit as it expresses itself through the seed of the serpent. The Nephilim (Fallen Ones) plan is the powers and principalities attempt to bring forth the seed of the serpent. This podcast deals with the Family, the most basic social unit in our society or any society for that matter . Thoughts will be presented on how the Enemy of our souls has programmed us to believe lies which have effectively deconstructed the family.From Feminism in the 1960's through the abortions promulgated in the 1970's families have been broken. The emasculation of men, preventing them from maturing into fathers and thereby creating fatherlessness has been a major tool of the enemy to break down the family. The effect of fatherlessness is that children become broken adults and do not realize their callings and destinies. This is all about to change and God is calling for the return of the fathers. The whole earth groans awaiting for the sons of God (Bene Elohim). These sons are those who have a Father's heart. They desire to protect, provide and mentor the next generation. Come listen to LA relate several stories from his experiences in life that reveal the real attempts by Evil to destroy the family. Evil wants to steal, kill and destroy our God given destiny . God is moving against the Enemies plan. Come listen to what God is doing.Blessings:Papa Tom

Hvem var Karl Popper, og er filosofien hans fortsatt relevant den dag idag? I denne episoden snakker Lars med Lars F. Svendsen, professor i filosofi ved Universitet i Bergen og Knut Olav Åmås, som er direktør i stiftelsen Fritt Ord. De har begge to latt seg inspirere av Karl Poppers syn på ytringsfrihet, viktigheten av kritikk og diskusjon, demokratiske normer, samt viktigheten av å uttrykke seg klart og saklig.  Knut Olav forteller om sitt møte med Karl Popper på tidlig 90-tall, om deres diskusjoner om rasjonalitet, verdenskrig, vitenskap og vestlig kulturimperialisme, før vi gir en kort innføring i Karl Poppers liv og verk, med hovedfokus på hans samfunnsfilosofi og boken The Open Society and its Enemies fra 1945. Vi kommer innom tema som toleranse og toleransens paradoks, bokens tre hovedfiender Platon, Hegel og Marx, Poppers skille mellom utopian og piecemeal social engineering, valget mellom frihet og trygghet, fryktens rolle i politikken, hvordan vi forholder oss til uenighet, viktigheten av klar og god formidling, konspirasjonsteorier, og mye annet.    Anbefalte verk av Karl Popper:  The Open Society and its Enemies The Poverty of Historicism Conjectures and Refutations The Myth of the Framework (inneholder mange greie innføringstekster) Kritisk tenking (utvalgte tekster i norsk oversettelse) Andre anbefalinger: Knut Olav Åmås, Verdien av uenighet, Kagge Forlag, 2007 Knut Olav Åmås, Dette er Norge, Dreyer Forlag 2018 (hvor man blant annet finner gjengitt hans intervju med Karl Popper fra 1992) Lars F.

Few institutions are as secretive, controversial, and consequential as the CIA. From covert Cold War operations to the war on terror, America's spy agency has been both praised for keeping the country safe and condemned for its failures and abuses. Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and historian Tim Weiner joins us to unpack that complicated history and discuss his new book, The Mission, which traces how the CIA has struggled to adapt espionage in the 21st century. Weiner is also the author of the National Book Award–winning Legacy of Ashes: The History of the CIA, Enemies: A History of the FBI.  In this conversation, we explore the agency's origins, its Cold War and post-9/11 record, and the lessons of Iraq, torture, and Afghanistan. We discuss the biggest threats facing the U.S. today—including China's massive intelligence apparatus, estimated to be 20 times the size of the CIA, and how Beijing's ambitions differ from Russia's. We discuss whether intelligence leaders believe the biggest threat to US national security is internal or external. And, Weiner breaks down the concerns over President Trump's approach to the agency—and what happens when intelligence is shaped, or warped, by politics.

The Bible says Jesus loved the world, even His enemies. Today, we'll be challenged to do better at loving ours. You know, when we talk about the enemies of God, we're really talking about ourselves. That's what we once were, after all. Enemies of God. But Jesus loved us anyway. How much more should we, being sinners, love the world enough to point it towards a Savior? Ron talks at length today about what it means to love other people, including our enemies.

Dr. Evans teaches that our real enemies are not people, but the spiritual forces working against us. He stresses that prayer is the believer's most powerful weapon to dismantle the schemes of Satan. Instead of fighting battles in the flesh—through anger, revenge, or manipulation—we are called to bring every attack before God in prayer. Through intercession and spiritual authority in Christ, prayer pulls down strongholds, confuses the enemy's plans, and brings God's power into impossible situations. Evans urges believers to be persistent, specific, and faith-filled in their prayers, reminding us that victory comes when we let God fight for us. Jaggy and I thank you for listening!

Talk Back to MeAt its core, Ghost Recon Wildlands is a game about Insurgency. You, the player, engage in various forms of Unconventional Warfare, on a mission to take down a Drug Cartel set in a Fictional Bolivia. The Success of Wildlands rushed a sequel: Ghost Recon Breakpoint. Despite being set up for success, Breakpoint bombed, leaving the players that loved Wildlands disappointed and distrusting of the developers. This Ghost Recon Wildlands review covers 5 points of comparison between it and its sequel: Narrative, Interactions, Allies, Enemies, and Gameplay. Critics of Breakpoint often focus on predatory microtransactions which do come play. However, the failure of Breakpoint runs deeper. Not only does the mechanism of the game struggle to keep the player engaged, the content departs from the subtle hat tip of Wildlands, replacing the player with a hammer-looking-for-nails pawn of generically forgettable non-playable characters. Use Code 2025deaddrop10 for 10% off your order at obsidianarms.comThis episode has been sponsored by Obsidian Arms, a manufacturer of tools, parts and firearms, as well as operating as an OEM shop for those looking to bring excellence to the market.

According to a voiceline by the Democracy Officer, these aliens predate humanity's existence by millennia. They are a technologically advanced, mystical, and highly intelligent species, having gone down the path of electricity in the same way that humans went from rocks to bullets.The Terminids, sometimes referred to as the Terminid Horde or Terminid Swarm, and commonly called Bugs, are one of the enemy factions in the Second Galactic War.

This Day in Legal History: Frederick Douglass Escapes SlaveryOn this day in legal history, September 3, 1838, Frederick Douglass escaped from slavery, setting in motion a life that would fundamentally reshape American legal and political thought. Disguised as a free Black sailor, Douglass boarded a train in Baltimore and made his way north to freedom, ultimately arriving in New York City. His flight from bondage was not just a personal liberation—it was a direct challenge to the legal regime of American slavery, upheld at the time by both state laws and federal statutes such as the Fugitive Slave Act of 1793. Douglass's successful escape, aided by forged documents and the relative leniency of northern vigilance at the time, highlights the tension between laws protecting property in human beings and the moral and constitutional arguments against such laws.Once free, Douglass became one of the most powerful legal thinkers of the 19th century, though he was never formally trained as a lawyer. Through his speeches, writings, and public advocacy, he shaped legal discourse on citizenship, equal protection, and constitutional interpretation. He directly influenced Reconstruction-era legal developments, including debates over the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments. His 1852 speech “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” offered a searing legal and moral critique of the Constitution's complicity with slavery, while still asserting its potential as a freedom-promoting document when interpreted through a natural rights lens.Douglass's escape, and the career it made possible, also underscored the limits of law in the face of moral justice: in 1838, his very existence in the North was criminal under federal law. That reality would not change until the formal abolition of slavery in 1865. His advocacy helped lay the groundwork for a new legal order that could no longer reconcile itself with the ownership of people. September 3 is not just the anniversary of one man's flight—it marks a turning point in the long legal struggle to align American law with its professed ideals.President Donald Trump is prepared to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold his administration's use of emergency powers to impose broad tariffs, including those targeting fentanyl and “reciprocal” trade imbalances. This follows two significant legal defeats, including a 7-4 ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which found that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not grant the president sweeping tariff authority. The court held that the statute, enacted in 1977, lacks any reference to tariffs among its regulatory tools, creating a serious challenge to the legal basis for Trump's actions.Despite the legal headwinds, Trump's team remains optimistic, noting the conservative 6-3 majority on the Supreme Court and the Court's traditional deference in matters of foreign affairs. However, legal scholars suggest the case hinges on the major questions doctrine, which requires Congress to speak clearly when authorizing executive action with major economic or political impact. This doctrine was previously used to strike down President Biden's student loan forgiveness plan in 2023.Observers expect the Court to address whether IEEPA's silence on tariffs means such powers were never intended. If the Court rules against Trump, his administration is already eyeing fallback legal authorities, including Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act and Section 338 of the Smoot-Hawley Act, to keep tariffs in place. Meanwhile, nearly $66 billion in collected duties could be subject to refunds if importers challenge payments. A Supreme Court decision is likely by early 2026, with significant consequences for presidential trade powers.Trump to ask Supreme Court to save tariffs but faces tough legal questionsA U.S. federal judge ruled that Google can keep its Chrome browser and Android operating system, dealing a blow to antitrust enforcers who had hoped for more aggressive remedies. However, the judge ordered Google to begin sharing key search and advertising data with competitors in an effort to restore competition in online search. This decision follows a five-year legal battle in which Judge Amit Mehta previously found Google to be maintaining an illegal monopoly in search and related advertising. Despite that finding, Mehta declined to force structural changes like breaking up Google, citing recent advances in AI as creating new, organic competition.The ruling is a partial victory for Google and Apple, as it allows the two tech giants to continue their $20 billion annual deal that makes Google the default search engine on Apple devices. It also permits Google to maintain similar agreements with device makers like Samsung and Motorola, although exclusive contracts are now banned. Google stock jumped over 7% in after-hours trading following the decision.The court emphasized that AI companies like OpenAI are already better positioned to compete with Google than traditional search competitors have been in decades. The data-sharing order could benefit developers of AI-powered search tools and browsers, but the competitive impact may not be felt immediately. Google, while considering an appeal, expressed concerns that the order could undermine user privacy.The ruling is likely to be reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court, where Mehta's restrained approach may stand a better chance of surviving appeal. The case is part of a broader government crackdown on Big Tech, which includes ongoing legal battles involving Google, Meta, Amazon, and Apple.Google keeps Chrome and Apple deal but must share data in big antitrust rulingThe U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled that President Donald Trump unlawfully used the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport a group of Venezuelans he alleged were members of the Tren de Aragua gang. In a 2–1 decision, the court issued a preliminary injunction blocking the deportations, marking the first appellate ruling to directly address Trump's invocation of the centuries-old law through a March 14 presidential proclamation.Writing for the majority, Judge Leslie Southwick rejected the administration's claim that the gang's presence constituted a "predatory incursion" under the law, which only authorizes deportations during times of declared war or invasions. The court emphasized that neither condition was met. Judge Irma Carrillo Ramirez joined Southwick, while Trump appointee Judge Andrew Oldham dissented.The ruling is a setback for the Trump administration, which had sought to use the Alien Enemies Act—a wartime measure—to conduct swift removals of alleged gang members without traditional due process. The Supreme Court had already intervened in May, halting removals on procedural grounds and criticizing the administration for providing only 24 hours' notice to detainees without clear instructions on how to contest deportation.The American Civil Liberties Union, representing the Venezuelans, hailed the decision as a vital check on presidential power, warning against executive overreach during peacetime. Legal experts expect the issue to eventually return to the Supreme Court. The administration may first seek a rehearing from the full Fifth Circuit.US appeals court rejects Trump's use of Alien Enemies Act to deport VenezuelansThe 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a lower court ruling that had declared the federal machine gun ban unconstitutional, upholding the long-standing prohibition on such weapons. The case centered on Tamori Morgan, a Kansas man charged with possessing a machine gun and a conversion device known as a "Glock switch." A federal judge in Wichita, appointed by President Donald Trump, had previously dismissed the charges, citing the Supreme Court's 2022 Bruen decision, which required modern gun laws to align with the nation's historical tradition of firearm regulation.The appeals court, however, found that Bruen did not dismantle the existing legal framework established in District of Columbia v. Heller (2008), which protects weapons “in common use” for lawful self-defense. Writing for the unanimous three-judge panel, Judge Scott Matheson held that machine guns do not meet that standard and are primarily used for unlawful purposes, even if their usage is more widespread than official data suggests.Congress first regulated machine guns in 1934 and fully banned the possession of newly manufactured ones in 1986. The appellate ruling reinforces the idea that such weapons fall outside the Second Amendment's protections, despite recent expansions of individual gun rights. The court emphasized that even under Bruen, regulations do not require a perfect historical match—only a relevant analogue, which the machine gun ban has.US appeals court upholds machine gun ban, reversing trial judgeMy column for Bloomberg this week takes a hard look at the newly expanded federal Child Tax Credit (CTC) and asks whether it's really doing what it claims: reducing child poverty. On the surface, the policy looks like progress. The maximum credit is up to $2,200 and now indexed to inflation—something advocates have long called for. But dig into the mechanics, and a more troubling picture emerges.Despite the expansion, around 19 million children—28% of all kids in the U.S.—will remain ineligible for the full credit simply because their families don't earn enough. That's not a glitch; it's built into the law. The income phase-in structure means the poorest families, those most in need, get the least. In fact, a family of four has to make $41,500 to qualify for the full benefit—well above the federal poverty line of $32,150.This flawed design disproportionately affects Black, Latino, and Native American children, as well as kids in single-parent and rural households. And it's a bipartisan failure: Columbia University's data shows the exclusions cut across red and blue congressional districts almost evenly. That's part of what makes this so frustrating—lawmakers on both sides get to claim credit for “expanding” the CTC, even as millions of children continue to be left behind.Meanwhile, states are quietly filling the gap. Since the expiration of the more generous pandemic-era CTC in 2021, about a dozen states have implemented their own refundable credits. The results speak volumes. In Minnesota, for example, a $1,750 per-child credit is projected to lift 13,000 children out of poverty—nearly half the impact of the expanded federal credit in that state. Colorado and Vermont have seen similar success.The message here is that small, targeted, refundable state credits can work—and are working. Columbia's numbers prove that these policies are more than symbolic; they're helping real families. But that momentum could vanish if states assume Washington has solved the problem. The federal version may dominate headlines, but it's the state-level credits doing the actual heavy lifting.Tax policy doesn't usually offer much moral clarity, but this time it does. States have the tools to fight child poverty. The only real question is whether they'll use them—or wait around for Congress to deliver another “big, beautiful” fix that never arrives.Trump's New Child Tax Credit Deems Millions ‘Too Poor' to Qualify This is a public episode.

How hard is it to pray for your enemies? Today, learn about spiritual warfare as you discover the liberating power of being a blessing to those who have hurt you.

The message reflects on Jesus' teaching in Matthew 5:43–48 about loving enemies. It begins by noting how quickly life and technology change, sometimes making the Bible feel hard to relate to. But enemy-making remains a timeless issue—whether personal, political, or cultural. In today's world, media and technology often fuel outrage and division, tempting us to create enemies out of people we disagree with. While not everyone feels they have “enemies,” negative judgments and divisions can easily become modern forms of enmity. The sermon gives five practical steps for Christians: Consume news wisely – Seek reliable, less-biased sources. Limit media influence – Have intentional boundaries to reduce negative impacts. Pray for enemies – Move from asking God to change them toward praying genuine blessings for them. Reach out – Go out of your way to greet and engage rather than avoid. Show love – Strive toward perfect, Christlike love, as God loves us. Examples from Scripture (David sparing Saul, Esau forgiving Jacob, Jonah preaching to Nineveh) and real-life stories (children responding to a bully with kindness) illustrate that love can soften hearts. The challenge is to pray for and reach out to those we might view as enemies, then act in love. In a culture where hostility is common, loving our enemies becomes a powerful witness to Christ.

Are you mad at somebody right now? Today, Joyce discusses the life-changing power of forgiveness and moving on from past hurts, as we explore the importance of treating others right, no matter what.

Yaroslav Trofimov is Chief Foreign-Affairs Correspondent for The Wall Street Journal. He is the author of several books including Our Enemies Will Vanish: The Russian Invasion and Ukraine's War of Independence. Yaroslav shares what he experienced on the ground in Ukraine and the moral clarity of the war as compared to the wars and conflicts in the Middle East and other parts of the world. He also warns about the dystopic realities of modern warfare, and highlights how the experiences of the Ukrainian people in this war are a reminder of how life for all us can change very quickly and in the most horrible ways. And of course, Yaroslav explains how everyday people in Ukraine are fighting back against the Russian invaders -- and helping to save our animal friends who have no real say or choice in the evils of men. I spoke with Yaroslav some months ago. I was saving our conversation for a low moment such as this when Trump met with Putin to “negotiate” peace and the future of Ukraine – and the President of the United States chose to further align the country in the orbit of autocrats instead of as the leader of the free world. Never forget the people of Ukraine and how they are a beacon for all free people around the world. WHERE CAN YOU FIND ME?

     7/8. Professor Eric Cline's books detail the Hittite Empire's collapse as a societal failure due to poor leadership, a devastating plague (killing the royal family, including Suppiluliuma I), and attacks from enemies like the Kashka. Unlike other major powers, the Hittites were the only "G8" not on a major river system, a factor in their vulnerability during periods of drought. While the main empire vanished, "Neo-Hittite" city-states in northern Syria, such as Carchemish, adapted and survived, often paying tribute to the Neo-Assyrians.
