In this Easter Message, we learn that God has a plan.  He Created.  Man Fell.  But God Redeemed.  Jesus was the Hero of this story, but the enemy thinks, (key word—thinks) quite differently.  The Resurrection of Jesus changes everything today, in our life, and throughout the course of History, as Jesus lays the striking blow with the Enemy! 

Send us a textIn this episode of The Own It Show, Justin Roethlingshoefer discusses the importance of taking ownership of one's health amidst a spiritual battle. He outlines six tactics that can undermine health and well-being, emphasizing the need for awareness, ownership, and aligned action.

Today, Pastor Al Dagel tells us that even though Thomas missed seeing the risen Jesus, his time to see Him face-to-face was soon to come. We will see Him someday, too, if we know Him now!

Enemy Feminisms: Terfs, Policewomen, and Girlbosses Against Liberation (Haymarket Books, 2025) is a provocative compendium of the feminisms we love to dismiss and making the case for the bold, liberatory feminist politics we'll need to stand against fascism, nationalism, femmephobia, and cisness.  In recent years, "white feminism" and girlboss feminism have taken a justified beating. We know that leaning in won't make our jobs any more tolerable and that white women have proven to be, at best, unreliable allies. But in a time of rising fascism, ceaseless attacks on reproductive justice, and violent transphobia, we need to reckon with what Western feminism has wrought if we have any hope of building the feminist world we need. Sophie Lewis offers an unflinching tour of enemy feminisms, from 19th century imperial feminists and police officers to 20th century KKK feminists and pornophobes to today's anti-abortion and TERF feminists. Enemy feminisms exist. Feminism is not an inherent political good. Only when we acknowledge that can we finally reckon with the ways these feminisms have pushed us toward counterproductive and even violent ends. And only then can we finally engage in feminist strategizing that is truly antifascist. At once a left transfeminist battlecry against cisness, a decolonial takedown of nationalist womanhoods, and a sex-radical retort to femmephobia in all its guises, Enemy Feminisms is above all a fierce, brilliant love letter to feminism. About the Author Sophie Lewis is a writer. Her books, Full Surrogacy Now: Feminism Against Family, and Abolish the Family: A Manifesto for Care and Liberation, have been translated into nine languages.Sophie grew up in France, half-British, half-German, but now lives in Philadelphia and teaches online courses on utopian theory at the Brooklyn Institute for Social Research. She also has a visiting affiliation with the Center for Research on Feminist, Queer and Transgender Studies at the University of Pennsylvania.

Being a godly dad is tough. No one who's been down that road would argue with you there. However, it's easy to fall into the "good old days" trap of thinking this is just a recent development. Instead of trying to figure out who's had it the hardest over the course of history, let's make sure we understand why it's so hard: because Satan doesn't like godly dads discipling their kids. If you're a dad, we've got news for you. You're in a fight, and your enemy is the Enemy. However, God will equip you to take on these challenges as you trust in him. Today, let's confront the enemy's attacks on us and our families through the power of God's Word.   Free Survival Gear reading plan: https://manhoodjourney.org/survival-gear Buy Kent's latest book Don't Bench Yourself here: Don't Bench Yourself on Amazon  Support the show and upgrade your fatherhood swag. Shop Range Leather and get 15% OFF with code MJ15

Have you ever felt a deep nudge to start that dream, share your voice, or lead boldly—only to hear the lie whisper back: “Who do you think you are?” If so, this pep talk is for you. That question isn't truth. It's a tactic. In this episode, I'll help you flip the script, declare who you really are as a daughter of the King, and understand why just saying truth isn't enough—you need to rewire your brain to believe it. And I'll show you how.

The latest installment in the Quest for the King finds David once again confronting Saul, and coming face to face with his own destiny. It is the moment for every man when he must face the wounds of his past, or deal with them for the rest of his life.

Rejecting the knowledge of God will produce a warped mind incapable of righteousness.

"Senate Weighs Investing $120 Billion in Science to Counter China," trumpeted The New York Times in 2021. "A New Economic Patriotism Can Help Unite Our Divided Congress," argued Newsweek in 2023. "US cedes ground to China with ‘self-inflicted wound' of USAid shutdown, analysts say," cautioned The Guardian in 2025. In recent years, we've been exposed to the latest version of a centuries-old geopolitical message: We all have a common enemy, and we all need to unite to fight it by making our own country stronger. That enemy—most commonly China—is threatening to outpace, if it isn't already outpacing, the US in infrastructural investment, educational programs, technological development, and elsewhere, and we need to devote millions, billions, even trillions of dollars to restoring the vitality of our institutions in order to reverse this trend. But why must defeating an "enemy" be the justification for policy that has the potential to benefit the public? Why should we just accept the premise that there must be an "enemy" to compete against and defeat? Why can't policy be enacted for the sole purpose of improving people's lives? And how does this messaging about the threat of a looming adversary serve the ruling class? On this episode, we detail the timeworn trope of the common enemy as a "unifying" device, looking at how increasingly so-called progressives are appealing to feel-good sentiments of unity and to the genuine needs for sound infrastructure, robust social safety nets, corporate regulation, and functional institutions in order to sell the idea that there is, and always will be, a shadowy bad guy that must be vanquished.  Our guest is historian, professor and author Greg Grandin.

When anxious thoughts flood your mind and you feel like you're living in a fog—disconnected from the moment and overwhelmed by “what ifs”—you’re not alone. In today’s devotional, Kelly Balarie vulnerably shares how anxiety hijacked her thoughts even in the middle of everyday moments with her kids. But instead of staying stuck in the spiral of fear, she turned to Psalm 27:1 and found refuge in God's Word:“The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear?” We encourage you to pray: “Lord, help me to release what I’m holding onto so tightly. Let me trust that You are my stronghold, my refuge, and my salvation—even when I feel like I’m falling apart.” When our grip on life feels weak, God reminds us: He’s the one holding on tight.Let this be your permission to stop rehearsing worst-case scenarios and instead rest in the truth that God is your Light, your Refuge, and your Stronghold. When we move out of the way, we make way for the Way Maker. Join the Conversation:Have you ever been so anxious that you struggled to be present? What verse has helped anchor you in those moments? Let us know @LifeaudioNetwork or by email. We’d love to hear your story and stand with you in faith.

In this episode, Thomas and Nate recount their recent archery turkey hunt. They also discuss hunter hate and how private land hunters are now the enemy. 

We all know sugar is bad for us, and “sugar addiction” is a real thing and very hard to shake with so much food noise around us. Food industry giants bombard media with tempting snacks often disguised as health food, even diet food that is packed with sugar. Our guest, science journalist Nina Teicholz, is a best selling NYT bestselling author of “The Big Fat Surprise” and is shaking up the nutrition world with often controversial guidance on what to eat. We delve into what sugar actually does to your body, which health risks it exasperates and even how the sugar industry is endangering lives beyond it's consumption.

Jesus, People, Mission Recorded on April 6th, 2025

As we take time to look at the plot to kill Jesus but the religious rulers of his day, it serves as a metaphor for us. Jesus said, "They hated me, and they will hate you." Everyone who follows Jesus has a target on their back. The enemy's plot is to kill, steal, and destroy everything good in our lives. Will we be ready for it? Are we aware of the different ways the Enemy plots against us?Support the show

In this episode of The Art of Charm, we sit down with Sebastien Page — Chief Investment Officer at T. Rowe Price and author of The Psychology of Leadership — to explore what world-class leadership really looks like. Blending sports psychology, positive psychology, and personality science, Sebastien unpacks the mental habits of resilient leaders, the science behind stress optimization, and the silent traps that sabotage ambition. He reveals why perfection isn't the goal, why some stress is critical to peak performance, and why goals—if unchecked—can lead to ethical and personal blind spots. If you're a driven professional seeking clarity, impact, and self-mastery, this conversation will give you a psychological edge that most leaders miss. What to Listen For [00:00] Why “no stress” is not the goal — and why some stress makes you perform better [00:06:41] The misunderstood link between flow, performance, and leadership engagement [00:10:01] Stress tolerance affects team dynamics [00:13:59] The dangerous myth of the “always calm” leader [00:17:07] The hidden power of quality relationships in long-term success [00:21:29] Why goal setting without wisdom leads to burnout or regret [00:38:44] Defining your own core values vs. chasing someone else's metrics [00:42:30] The Big Five Personality Traits and how they transform leadership empathy [00:56:59] How to harness social comparison as a competitive advantage — without letting it destroy your self-worth Episode Takeaways: Stress is not the enemy. Managed correctly, it's the fuel for your best performance and presence. Leadership doesn't mean suppressing emotion. It means learning how to channel it to create clarity for others. Goal setting is powerful — but without meaning, you risk losing everything that matters chasing things that don't. Self-awareness begins with understanding how your personality shapes your leadership Don't wait for “the perfect team.” Instead, test, adapt, and build self-aware systems that evolve with context. Your most important asset isn't strategy — it's trust. A Word From Our Sponsors Tired of awkward handshakes and collecting business cards without building real connections?

Sources familiar with Apple's supply chains told Nikkei Asia that top suppliers in India were instructed to ramp up iPhone production. Yet the people noted that factory utilization rates were already at maximum levels, making it challenging to bring on significant amounts of new production. Here's more from the report: Source: zerohedge.com Sunday Talks: Secretary of Commerce Outlines Purpose of Tariff “Exemptions” – Sector Specific Tariffs Coming Soon   there are two “sector specific” tariffs in Semiconductors and Pharmaceuticals that will be announced in the next few months.  The recently announced “exemptions” are products that will be included in the sector specific tariffs that are also identified as “non-negotiable” tariffs. Semiconductor items, automobiles, steel and aluminum as well as pharmaceutical products will fall under categories or ‘sectors' of products that will be non-negotiable in all trade agreements for the tariff levy applied.  Any nation who enters negotiations for new Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) will not be permitted to negotiate trade on semiconductor products, automobiles, steel, aluminum and medications.  WATCH: Source: theconservativetreehouse.com Stephen Miller Reiterates Tariff Strategy Around Section 232 National Security Products   Steel, Aluminum, Automobiles, Pharmaceuticals and components for semiconductor manufacturing all fall under the Section 232 “National Security” tariff umbrella. Meaning, the products within each of those sectors of manufacturing are handled ¹differently from all other tariffs as executed.  WATCH: [¹NOTE: This approach could present a problem in future lawsuits, because the administration is now beginning to define what is classified as a ‘national security' product. Lawfare operatives will likely say in court that all other tariff sectors (not 232) are controlled by congress, not the President; at least that will be their predictable argument. The administration will counter by arguing all other sector tariffs are directed in response to the Fentanyl crisis, which is again described as a “national security” threat.]  Source: theconservativetreehouse.com

Eisenhower's decision to delay the D-Day invasion by 24 hours—a move that may have changed the course of history.

Send us a textThe spiritual battlefield requires vigilance, especially when we're at our weakest. Drawing from 1 Peter 5:8, we examine how the enemy operates "like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour" and what this means for our daily spiritual practices.Have you noticed how your worst decisions often come when you're tired, hungry, stressed, or overworked? This isn't coincidental. As one pastor wisely observed, "When emotions are high, decision-making is low." These vulnerable moments are precisely when spiritual vigilance becomes most critical—and when the enemy is most likely to attack. The warning that Satan will "take you to hell with a hangnail" vividly illustrates how even small compromises can lead to significant spiritual derailment.True sobriety and vigilance extend beyond abstaining from substances. They involve carefully guarding what we allow past our "eyes, ears, and mouth gates." Every heart contains an invisible throne that can only be occupied by one entity: either Jesus reigns supreme, or we attempt to usurp His rightful place through neglect and self-centeredness. The good news? No matter what decisions we've made in the past, we always have the opportunity to make the next right one—to bend our knees and surrender to the King of Kings.Join us as we explore what it means to stand as sentinels in God's kingdom, remaining sober, staying vigilant, and witnessing for the One who is infinitely worthy. Remember: life is connected, and when we guard our hearts with all diligence, we're not just protecting ourselves—we're preserving our testimony and witness to a watching world.Support the show

In Part V of the SEAD (Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses) series, host Mike “Flash” McVay sits down once again with A-10 pilot Ridge "Kelso" Flick to dive deep into the critical role the Warthog plays in SEAD and close air support operations. Drawing from his extensive experience flying the A-10 in hostile environments, Kelso shares insights into how low-level tactics, survivability, and precision targeting come together in the face of modern air defense threats. From Cold War-era training to post-9/11 combat deployments, this episode explores how A-10 pilots adapted to evolving SAM and AAA threats while maintaining their mission to protect ground forces. Kelso's perspective offers a unique look at the intersection of close air support and SEAD, highlighting the courage and coordination required in every mission.Stay tuned and subscribe for more frontline stories and tactical lessons from the world of combat aviation and special operations.
