BT and Sal unleash a blistering critique on the New York Jets, driven by a caller's exasperated claim that the team "never has a plan." The hosts aggressively debate this premise, dissecting the true nature of the Jets' alleged strategy (or lack thereof) from personnel decisions like passing on a potential backup quarterback to the questionable hiring of coach Aaron Glenn. They also fire back at players like Breece Hall and Garrett Wilson for running their mouths while losing, concluding that the team's biggest issue is the self-inflicted chaos and instability that comes from repeated, inexperienced hires. It's a fiery breakdown of a franchise stuck in a cycle of disappointment.

7. The Tree Sparrow: Mao's Folly and the Emu Wars AUTHOR: Stephen Moss BOOK TITLE: 10 Birds That Changed the World This excerpt details Mao's 1958 "Four Vermin" campaign targeting the Tree Sparrow. Maoordered the sparrows killed, believing they consumed grain; however, because sparrows feed their young on insects, their eradication led to an insect population boom. The subsequent crop failures caused a famine that resulted in potentially 45 to 50 million deaths, making it the worst human-created disaster in history. The segment contrasts this tragedy with the "Emu Wars" in 1930s Australia, where highly adaptable Emussuccessfully defeated the Australian army. 1938

BT and Sal engage in a fiery clash over Jets Head Coach Aaron Glenn's decision to stick with Justin Fields despite a disastrous performance, refusing to turn to veteran backup Tyrod Taylor. While Glenn argues one bad game shouldn't warrant a benching, Sal rips the logic, insisting the coach missed a critical opportunity to spark a culture change and salvage a win. The hosts debate the true value of seeing what they have in Fields versus attempting to energize a losing team.

Wednesday Service 1 Samuel 13:1-23 Lead Pastor Tim Davis @ Christ The King Church. A non-denominational Christian Church located in Canby, OR. (www.ctkcanby.com)

Hello and welcome — you've tuned in to the School of Ministry Podcast.  In this episode we examine James 4:13–17, warning against planning and boasting without God, exposing pride, presumption, and sins of omission.  God's Word explains the brevity of life—"you are a vapor"—and urges believers to make God central in their plans by saying, "If the Lord wills." This episode also outlines practical steps for living God's will: receiving Christ as personal Savior, scriptural baptism, discipleship, and daily submission to God's authority, encouraging listeners to seek and obey God rather than rely on self.

Judges 17 - Lawson Harlow

God's people are called to bless others through wisdom, but a fool's words and works bring nothing but harm to himself and those around him. Therefore, let us seek the Lord's help in speaking graciously, being humble, and working excellently.

In today's Morning Manna, we reflect on Proverbs 13:11–15, where Solomon shows that wealth gained dishonestly vanishes, but steady labor brings increase. Hope deferred can weigh down the heart, but fulfilled desire revives like a tree of life. We learn that despising God's Word leads to ruin, while fearing His command brings blessing, and that the instruction of the wise is a fountain of life protecting from death's snares. Finally, Solomon reminds us that good understanding brings favor, but the way of transgressors is hard, proving that wisdom is always the better path. Teachers: Rick Wiles and Doc BurkhartYou can partner with us by visiting FaithandValues.com, calling 1-800-576-2116, or by mail at PO Box 399 Vero Beach, FL 32961.MEGA FIRE reveals the ancient recurring cycles of war and economic collapse that have shaped history for 600 years.

Folly calls to us and she does so with two companions, foolish friends and deceptive lovers. Proverbs tells us to be aware that deceptive lovers exist, to flee them, and to instead get drunk on true lovers. Come learn what that means and God's grace in the midst of all of it.

What if Walt Disney's real magic wasn't perfection…but persistence?   In this episode, Beth takes you behind the myths of creative genius to explore how Disney built through failure, loss, and uncertainty—and why those moments became the foundation for his greatest successes. From bankruptcy to Mickey, from “Disney's Folly” to Disneyland, Walt's story reminds us that the impossible often starts in the middle of adversity. Beth connects Disney's journey with her own: building Casual Space, launching STORIES of Space, and saying “yes” to dreams long before things felt easy or certain. This week, discover why you don't have to wait for the perfect time to start. You can lay a foundation—even in the hardest seasons—that carries you (and others!) to new heights. Because sometimes, the story that feels small today becomes the launchpad for something extraordinary. 

What grieves a parent to death? Proverbs 17:21–25 looks forward to the midweek sermon. In these five verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that the unchecked folly of a child grieves a parent to death. Pastor's devotional lesson explores the profound connection between parental joy and a child's spiritual well-being, drawing heavily from Proverbs 17:21-25. It emphasizes the importance of parents providing biblical discipline and instruction, trusting God to remove folly from their children, while simultaneously urging children to seek wisdom and avoid behaviors that bring grief to their parents and ultimately, to themselves. The message underscores that a joyful heart, rooted in obedience to God's word, is a source of life and healing, contrasting sharply with the grief and death associated with foolishness and disobedience, ultimately calling for a commitment to both parental responsibility and a child's receptive heart.

Exposition of Esther 5

Folly (acting contrary to the way the world really is) leads to all kinds of problems in our ordinary lives. In many ways, the folly of fools creates the problems they face. Therefore, let us act in wisdom—wisdom that comes from careful observation of the world, from listening carefully to others, and ultimately from the supernaturally revealed Word of God.

José Niño sat down with Jordan B for a blunt autopsy of the American Right and why the Republican establishment keeps turning outrage into obedience, and how the base is nudged from righteous anger back into “vote GOP or else” every single cycle.They start with the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk assassination and the flood of instant fundraising—texts, emails, and moral blackmail—to channel shock into straight-ticket voting. From there, we dissect how MAGA's energy was domesticated, producing headlines instead of deliverables, and why “owning the libs” became a sedative that keeps the Right compliant.Follow Jordan B's work:Twitter: https://x.com/JordanBVide0sYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JordanBVideos/videosAre you concerned about your wealth during this times of economic uncertainty?

HEADLINE: The Missile Gap Drives Operation Anadyr in Cuba GUEST NAME: Professor Serhii Plokhy BOOK TITLE: Nuclear Folly TOPIC: Accidental War Warning SUMMARY: Khrushchev conceived the idea of placing missiles in Cuba during a trip to Bulgaria, responding to US Jupiter missiles in Turkey. This deployment, Operation Anadyr, aimed to quickly solve the strategic missile gap favoring the United States. Khrushchev chose cavalryman Ivan Pliyev of North Ossetia to command the operation, valuing his loyalty and multi-unit experience. Over 40,000 unprepared Soviet troops were deployeD.   1962 CUBA

HEADLINE: Mikoyan Negotiates the "Crisis of November" with Fidel Castro GUEST NAME: Professor Serhii Plokhy BOOK TITLE: Nuclear Folly TOPIC: Accidental War Warning SUMMARY: After the crisis resolution, Nikita Khrushchev rationalized his actions but faced internal criticism. Fidel Castro, who had advocated nuclear attack, felt insulted by the lack of consultation. Khrushchev sent Mikoyan to negotiate with Castro, who refused to allow inspections and sought to retain tactical nuclear weapons, leading to the "crisis of November." The eventual, humiliating Soviet withdrawal verified by US ships was cited in Khrushchev's later removal. 1899 HAVANA

HEADLINE: Black Saturday Escapes Catastrophe: The Submarine and the Downed U-2 GUEST NAME: Professor Serhii Plokhy BOOK TITLE: Nuclear Folly TOPIC: Accidental War Warning SUMMARY: Black Saturday(October 27, 1962) saw two accidents nearly trigger nuclear war. In the Sargasso Sea, the Soviet submarine B-59, tracked by the USS Cony, prepared to fire a nuclear torpedo until Captain Vasily Arkhipov overruled the order. Separately in Cuba, Soviet forces, believing invasion was imminent following orders from Fidel Castro, shot down an American U-2plane, killing Major Anderson. 1959

HEADLINE: The Two Letters: The Demand for Jupiter Missiles in Turkey GUEST NAME: Professor Serhii PlokhyBOOK TITLE: Nuclear Folly TOPIC: Accidental War Warning SUMMARY: Khrushchev sent two conflicting letters during the height of the crisis: a private one discussing withdrawal for a guarantee not to attack Cuba, and a second, broadcast via Radio Moscow, demanding the withdrawal of US Jupiter missiles from Turkey. Kennedy personally favored trading the Turkey missiles, which were a NATO liability, but ExComm feared the political consequences of undermining the alliance. 1920 CUBA

      HEADLINE: "The Other Guy Blinked": Soviets Reverse Ships to Avoid Quarantine GUEST NAME: Professor Serhii Plokhy BOOK TITLE: Nuclear Folly TOPIC: Accidental War Warning SUMMARY: The experienced diplomat Anastas Mikoyan served as a calming influence in the Presidium, having opposed the missile deployment from the start. Following Kennedy's speech, the Soviets ordered missile ships to turn back to avoid the quarantine. This news reached the White House hours later, minutes after Kennedy authorized an attack. Dean Rusk described the tense situation with the famous "eyeball to eyeball" metaphor. 1962

HEADLINE: Kennedy Chooses Quarantine Despite Military Demands for Invasion GUEST NAME: Professor Serhii Plokhy BOOK TITLE: Nuclear Folly TOPIC: Accidental War Warning SUMMARY: President Kennedy faced fierce opposition from the Joint Chiefs, led by General LeMay, who accused him of appeasement by referencing Munich and demanded immediate invasion (OPLAN 312). Kennedy refused to "cave under pressure," fearing that invading Cubawould lead the Soviets to seize Berlin. He ultimately chose the quarantine (blockade), announcing it on Monday, October 22, while the Presidium in Moscow awaited in panic.1920 CUBA

HEADLINE: Nikita Khrushchev's Miscalculation and the Specter of Berlin GUEST NAME: Professor Serhii PlokhyBOOK TITLE: Nuclear Folly TOPIC: Accidental War Warning SUMMARY: Nikita Khrushchev, a shrewd politician who succeeded Joseph Stalin, was widely misunderstood as a clown. Khrushchev expected to manipulate the young Jack Kennedy, having once offered campaign assistance. Khrushchev was surprised when Kennedy refused to compromise over the missile deployment. Both leaders were constantly concerned about Berlin; Khrushchev used the threat of escalation there to manipulate Kennedy. 1920 HAVANA

HEADLINE: President John F. Kennedy Learns of Soviet Missiles in Cuba GUEST NAME: Professor Serhii PlokhyBOOK TITLE: Nuclear Folly TOPIC: Accidental War Warning SUMMARY: On October 16, 1962, McGeorge Bundy informed President John F. Kennedy that Soviet nuclear-armed ballistic missiles had been spotted in Cuba. Kennedy was immediately upset, viewing Nikita Khrushchev as an "immoral gangster." Initial options included an air strike (Kennedy's preferred hawk stance) or a quarantine/blockade. John McCone of the CIA was notably absent, being on his honeymoon. 1963

Folly is destructive, dangerous, recognizable, unnecessary, and prevalent. Therefore, let us weed out the folly in our lives and the lives of those we love and replace it with the wisdom of God.

"The Last Jewish Frontier: A future trek to a land without a nation.” A new bestselling Hebrew book reimagines Israel-its people, its geography and its future. Author Amotz Asa-el, whose book The Jewish March of Folly, became a huge bestseller in Israel a few years ago, discusses his new book with reporter Arieh O’Sullivan and examines where Israel is heading, not just now but far into the future and how Israel will survive to 2098 for its 150th anniversary of the Jewish state.

1 A good name is more desirable than great riches, and loving favor is better than silver and gold. 2 The rich and the poor have this in common: Yahweh is the maker of them all. 3 A prudent man sees danger and hides himself; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it. 4 The result of humility and the fear of Yahweh is wealth, honor, and life. 5 Thorns and snares are in the path of the wicked; whoever guards his soul stays from them. 6 Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. 7 The rich rule over the poor. The borrower is servant to the lender. 8 He who sows wickedness reaps trouble, and the rod of his fury will be destroyed. 9 He who has a generous eye will be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor. 10 Drive out the mocker, and strife will go out; yes, quarrels and insults will stop. 11 He who loves purity of heart and speaks gracefully is the king's friend. 12 Yahweh's eyes watch over knowledge, but he frustrates the words of the unfaithful. 13 The sluggard says, "There is a lion outside! I will be killed in the streets!" 14 The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit. He who is under Yahweh's wrath will fall into it. 15 Folly is bound up in the heart of a child; the rod of discipline drives it far from him. 16 Whoever oppresses the poor for his own increase and whoever gives to the rich, both come to poverty. 17 Turn your ear, and listen to the words of the wise. Apply your heart to my teaching. 18 For it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you, if all of them are ready on your lips. 19 I teach you today, even you, so that your trust may be in Yahweh. 20 Haven't I written to you thirty excellent things of counsel and knowledge, 21 To teach you truth, reliable words, to give sound answers to the ones who sent you? 22 Don't exploit the poor because he is poor; and don't crush the needy in court; 23 for Yahweh will plead their case, and plunder the life of those who plunder them. 24 Don't befriend a hot-tempered man. Don't associate with one who harbors anger, 25 lest you learn his ways and ensnare your soul. 26 Don't you be one of those who strike hands, of those who are collateral for debts. 27 If you don't have means to pay, why should he take away your bed from under you? 28 Don't move the ancient boundary stone which your fathers have set up. 29 Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will serve kings. He won't serve obscure men. Listen Donate Subscribe: Proverbs Daily Podcast Psalms Daily Podcast

Ever struggled to tell the difference between right and wrong choices?  In today's episode, host Gaby Alessi guides us through Proverbs 9 as we unpack the invitations of Wisdom and Folly. Together, we'll explore how both can sound strikingly similar—offering us guidance and promises—but lead to very different destinations. As a community, we'll reflect on how to recognize the voice of wisdom, the fruit it bears, and how to intentionally choose insight over confusion.Join us in prayer and devotion as we seek God's guidance, asking Him to lead us away from foolishness and into a life marked by wisdom and everlasting purpose.Want to get resources related to this episode?

Dave and Bethlie continue their  multi-part series on the book Shepherding a Child's Heart by Tedd Tripp.   PART 3 4.  His comments about the ROD are really good in chapter 11 Children are not born morally and ethically neutral If they are they don't need correction, just direction If they are not, then they need correction Our child's problem is that he or she is a sinner! p. 102. Folly is the problem we have to address according to proverbs Folly is not childishness Folly describes the person who does not fear God A fools life is run by his desires and fears The fool lives out of the immediacy of his lusts, cravings, expectations, hopes, and fears The issue is authority Will a child live under the authority of God and his parents? Will he/she live under their own authority? All children choose to live under their own authority: I don't want my diaper changed I don't want to sit quietly at the table during this meal You are going to make me and if you do I will scream and throw a huge fit Leave this to take root and grow, and it produces “a rebellious teenager who will not allow anyone to rule him.” “God has ordained the rod of discipline for this condition.” p. 103 “Confrontation, with the immediate and undeniably tactile sensation of a spanking, renders an implacable child sweet.” (p. 103) The quote on p 103 is massively important            4.  The rod's function It imparts wisdom Pr 29:15, which is tied to the fear of god “It creates an atmosphere in which instruction can be given. The spanking renders the child compliant and ready to receive life-giving words.”  (p 104) Tripp deals with the question - don't all children eventually learn to obey? He say NO!! Proverbs 29:15, 17
