Today's guest is Mark Toro, Chief Vision Officer @ Toro Development Co, based in Atlanta, GA.   Mark unpacks the philosophy, economics, and human-centered detail behind some of the most successful mixed-use developments in the country. We talk through his journey from building suburban power centers to pioneering immersive experiences like Avalon, Colony Square, and the upcoming Medley.  Mark shares how the 2008 financial crisis sparked his rethinking of real estate as a service business rather than just a physical asset—and how ideas like hospitality, branding, and community integration became central to his playbook.  This episode is packed with specific examples, war stories, and lessons on what it really takes to develop places people never want to leave. We discuss: - Why demographics and household income drive everything in site selection - How do vertically integrated, mixed-use developments function financially and operationally - The importance of patios, music, and concierge-level service in creating “third places” - Why tenant selection is both science and art—and what betting on the right jockey really means - How a bottle of tequila became a company tradition symbolizing intentionality and pride in execution Topics: (00:00:00) - Intro (00:03:43) - Mark's career and background (00:08:03) - The gutted middle in retail (00:09:38) - Site selection criteria for a “fortress” (00:18:45) - Seamless integration (00:26:27) - The art of pitching tenants (00:31:42) - Mark's approach to “opening” dates (00:33:28) - Betting the farm on tenants (00:35:46) - Office (00:40:18) - Parking strategies (00:41:51) - Hospitality vs. real estate (00:45:23) - Being Disney-esque (00:49:22) - Low-hanging fruit that properties can implement today (00:54:17) - Marketing funds (00:57:55) - Equity partners (00:58:56) - Why isn't this model scalable? (01:04:10) - How much more profitable can a fortress be than other mixed-use areas (01:07:12) - Eric Weatherholtz & extending patio season (01:10:49) - The tequila story Support our Sponsors: Ramp: ⁠https://ramp.com/fort⁠ Vesto: ⁠https://www.vesto.com/fort⁠ BetterPitch: ⁠https://bit.ly/42d9L0I⁠ Links: Mark Toro on LinkedIn - ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/marktoro/⁠ Toro Development Co. - ⁠https://torodevco.com/⁠ Chris on Social Media: The Fort Podcast on Twitter/X: ⁠https://x.com/theFORTpodcast⁠ Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/thefortpodcast⁠ LinkedIn: ⁠https://bit.ly/45gIkFd⁠ Watch The Fort on YouTube: ⁠https://bit.ly/3oynxNX⁠ Visit our website: ⁠https://bit.ly/43SOvys⁠ Leave a review on Apple: ⁠https://bit.ly/45crFD0⁠ Leave a review on Spotify: ⁠https://bit.ly/3Krl9jO⁠

On Day Four of our special Tricycle Week, we explore the article "Knowing the Three Fortresses," a compelling piece that offers a fresh lens on inner resilience and spiritual grounding. Drawing from traditional Buddhist teachings, the article introduces the concept of the Three Fortresses—Powerful antidotes to distraction, confusion, and self-doubt on the path of practice. In today's episode, I share reflections on how these fortresses serve as both refuge and rallying point—helping us meet the challenges of daily life with steadiness, awareness, and compassion. Whether you're navigating a tough moment or simply trying to stay centered in your practice, this teaching will give you tools to return home to yourself. What You'll Learn: What the Three Fortresses are and how they can support your spiritual path How to apply their wisdom to your everyday life Why awareness, retreat, and reliance on the Dharma are vital in uncertain times Resources: Read the full article at Tricycle.org Want to deepen your meditation practice?

From towering stone walls to secret passages, castles are full of surprises! Find out why people built them, how they defended them, and what life was like inside during the Middle Ages.

The Second Temple period will look at the Jewish rebellions, including the Maccabees against the Greeks, the Jews against the Romans, Bar Kochba's reconquest of Jerusalem, and the splintering of Jewish society into numerous Jewish sects.  We will discuss the significance of the development of the Talmud and the Dead Sea Scrolls.  Also considered will be Jesus' Jewish identity and the beginnings of Christianity emerging from Judaism.

Please note: I wrote this on April 28th, and then was traveling abroad for the last few weeks, so I had no opportunity to post this until now, sorry about that: but nothing I have said here has been rendered wrong by Operation Sindoor and the near-war that happened after I wrote this. Deccan Herald ran a slightly edited version as my regular column on May 4th at https://www.deccanherald.com/opinion/on-pahalgam-imperial-fortresses-and-kashmir-s-settler-colonialism-3523731 With good reason, India has focused on Pakistan as the culprit behind the Pahalgam atrocity. It is telling that their army chief declared to Pakistanis that Hindus and Muslims are two different nations and that Kashmir is Pakistan's jugular vein. He implied that Pakistan is the ideal Islamic state as in Venkat Dhulipala's “Creating a New Medina: State Power, Islam, and the Quest for Pakistan in Late Colonial North India”. This could have been a signal to the terrorists to create maximum offence while massacring Hindus.Given Kargil, IC 814, Bombay 26/11, Uri, Pulwama, and now Pahalgam, India is justified in cutting ties to Pakistan, including trade, sports, the cringe Attari circus, even diplomatic relations. India did once mass its forces at the Line of Control in Operation Parakram, but honoring the Shimla Agreement, did not cross. Now that Pakistan has canceled the Agreement, there is no legal reason for restraint, especially since the nuclear bogey is no longer credible.But there is more. The Pakistani defense minister said that his country had been doing the dirty work for the US and the West for decades. Maybe he meant the Afghan war against the Soviets and post-9/11 somersaults by Pakistan. But that's only scratching the surface.Britain explicitly created Pakistan as a Great Game weapon against Russia/Soviet Union, and when that collapsed, against india. Britain has been using Pakistan as an “imperial fortress”, as I pointed out in “Britain's outsized, malign role in global chaos”. Whitehall tilts strongly towards Pakistani interests, even in the case of widespread gang-rapes of minor white girls, not to mention their antics against Hindus in Leicester.Official mouthpiece BBC never speaks of Pakistani terrorists, only ‘gunmen'; it's always “Indian-controlled Kashmir”; and an extraordinary headline recently said: “Pakistan suspends visas for Indians after deadly Kashmir attack on tourists”. These are not accidents.Britain and the US Deep State (eg. Madeleine Albright and other Atlanticists) worry about the waning influence of Europe (or “northwest Asia” as I wrote in “The End of the European Century”). Naturally, incumbent powers go to war with a rising power (Thucydides Trap: Graham Allison's thesis). This has been the rationale for containing Russia, now it is being turned to Asia. China is rather inscrutable and impregnable, so they attack India, which is easier prey.Then there is the Otherization of Hindus and thus Indians. Even as staunch an atheist as Richard Dawkins (“The Blind Watchmaker”) admits Judeo-Christian cultural biases. Only Christopher Hitchens among modern atheists was self-reflective enough to avoid this. Abrahamics would like to make us disappear, and so engendered great famines in India (“Late Victorian Holocausts”). Now this is reprising through climatism (at an Alexandra Ocasio Cortez rally there was a woman earnestly saying “we have to eat babies” to reduce emissions). Covid was possibly another attempt at depopulating ‘deplorables', that is black and brown people.Let's not forget China, also unhappy about India's possible economic rise; so it dutifully regurgitated “all-weather” support for Pakistan. They have used Pakistan to keep India down, as a force multiplier for violence and trouble. Then China can market itself as a safe investment destination compared to a dangerous India where FDI may be risky. I suspect this is part of their siren-song to big firms (eg. Apple) now.Finally, and most importantly, there is the settler-colonial complex of Muslim Kashmiris. They trot out South Africa, other European conquests and Gaza as examples of colonialists violating natives' rights and imply the same in Kashmir. The bitter irony of course is that it is the Muslims who are the colonialists wiping out Kashmir's indigenous Hindus who have a 5000 year history there. They have turned the logic on its head: see the Harvard Law Review paper “From Domicile to Dominion, India's Settler Colonial Agenda in Kashmir”.There have been seven tragic exoduses of Hindus from Kashmir: 1. 1389–1413 (Sultan Sikandar Shah), 2. 1505–1514 (Fateh Shah II), 3. 16th–17th Century (Timurid Period), 4. 1752–1819 (Durrani Rule), 5. 1931 (Anti-Dogra Riots), 6. 1986 (Anantnag Riots), 7. 1989–1990 (Militancy-Driven Exodus). Most Hindu Kashmiris now rot in refugee camps.I wrote long ago in “India, the Kashmiri colony” about Muslim Kashmiris extracting tribute from the Indian/Hindu taxpayer. Worse, there is evidence emerging that local overground workers (eg. mule handlers) arranged the logistics for the Pahalgam massacre. Acts of terror need local support, possibly including from local politicians (a former CM referred to terrorists as “the boys with guns from the mountains”).Yes, it's good to punish Pakistan (eg. Indus Water Treaty), but terror will persist until Muslim Kashmiris realize their future lies with rising, multi-religious India, not jihadi failed-state Pakistan; and the Deep State desists from further mischief.798 words, Apr 28, 2025 This is a public episode.

Bible Reading: Psalm 31:1-5"Hurry! Pull up the drawbridge, Winston!" Mitchell hurried into the cardboard castle in their basement. "The enemy is coming!"Winston pulled up the bridge, and both boys peered through narrow slits in the walls. "Now they won't be able to cross the moat," said Winston. "And even if they do, our strong walls will keep us safe."Just then Dad came down the stairs, followed by the boys' sister, Charis. "I think it's time for a break," he said, holding out a bowl of popcorn. They all sat in the courtyard of the castle, eating popcorn and admiring the corner towers made by big refrigerator boxes. The towers were connected by cardboard walls."This castle is a lot of fun, Dad," said Mitchell. "Thanks for helping us build it." "This doesn't seem much like a castle to me," said Charis. "I thought castles were big, beautiful palaces with lots of fancy rooms.""This castle is really a fortress, not a palace," Dad said. "Fortresses were used years and years ago to protect people from their enemies." He took a handful of popcorn from the bowl. "Did you know that God is described as a fortress?" "He is?" asked Winston. "How can He be a fortress?""Well," said Dad, "remember that school shooting we heard about on the news this morning?" Charis nodded. "It scared me.""Me too," said Winston. "What if that happened at our school?""We live in a sinful world, and bad things happen all around us," said Dad. "But we can find peace by running to our fortress--Jesus, who sacrificed His life to save us from sin and death. We can draw close to Him and trust Him to take care of us." "But we could still get hit by an enemy arrow, even inside our castle," said Mitchell."That's right," said Dad. "And sometimes even Christians get hurt. But when we take refuge in the Lord, we can have peace knowing we're safe with Him. We can be sure that even if an arrow--some bad thing--strikes us, He will be with us. Even death itself cannot separate us from Jesus, because He conquered death when He rose again. No matter what happens, we can have peace knowing we've been given eternal life in Him." –Jody Hedlund How About You?Have you ever been scared by something you heard in the news? We live in a sinful world where lots of bad things happen, but if you're a Christian, you have a strong fortress where you can run for protection--Jesus! He promises to be with you and give you peace--even if bad things do happen. Tell Him your worries and fears and trust Him to be with you. Today's Key Verse:The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust. (NKJV) (Psalm 18:2)Today's Key Thought:God gives peace

Episode 147 - A Thought For Dads - What to do if I Have Wronged YouDid you hurt someone recently? Read this!If I've wronged you, come to me,Speak your truth, let your words be free.Don't hide behind a veil of silence,Or turn away in quiet defiance.If I've caused you pain or sorrow,Tell me now, don't wait for tomorrow.I'm no stranger to imperfection,My flaws are clear upon reflection.But I can't mend what I don't know,Silence builds walls that only grow.Fortresses of unspoken words,Leaving feelings unheard, unheard.I won't let walls divide us two,You mean more than you ever knew.I'd rather face the hardest truth,Than lose you to a silent ruth.I am here, ready to listen,To make things right, to make them glisten.Don't shut me out, let's face this together,We'll mend what's broken, now and forever.For this is love in its purest form,Not running from the gathering storm.But standing strong through wind and rain,Fighting to heal, to ease the pain.Speak your truth, I'll meet you there,With open heart and tender care.For in your words, we'll find a way,To brighter skies and a new day.how to approach a situation where someone has wronged you:Open communication: Instead of remaining silent or avoiding the person who has wronged you, the text encourages direct communication. It emphasizes the importance of speaking up and expressing your feelings.Face the issue: Rather than turning away or building emotional walls, confront the problem head-on. This approach prevents misunderstandings from festering and growing worse over time.Express your pain: If someone has hurt you, let them know. The text suggests that it's important to articulate how their actions have affected you.Give them a chance to make amends: By speaking up, you're giving the person who wronged you an opportunity to understand their mistake and potentially correct it.Avoid silent treatment: The text strongly discourages using silence as a weapon, as it only creates barriers in relationships.Choose reconciliation over distance: Instead of allowing the relationship to deteriorate, the text advocates for working through issues together.Be ready to listen: While expressing your own feelings is important, be prepared to listen to the other person's perspective as well.Prioritize the relationship: The text emphasizes the value of the relationship over the comfort of avoiding difficult conversations.Approach with love and understanding: The overall tone suggests approaching the situation with care and a willingness to work things out, rather than with anger or resentment.Seek resolution together: The text encourages facing and resolving issues as a team, strengthening the relationship in the process.In essence, this approach promotes active, compassionate communication as a means of addressing and resolving conflicts, rather than allowing them to silently damage relationships.___https://dadspace.camusic provided by Blue Dot SessionsSong: The Big Ten https://app.sessions.blue/browse/track/258270

They explore the differences between culture warriors and cultural engagement, highlighting the flaws in both approaches. They introduce the concept of cultural insurgency as a strategy for Christians in the current negative world. The hosts delve into the importance of shifting loyalties and owning space, emphasizing the need for Christians to understand the distinction between the ruling regime and the nation. They also discuss the significance of fortresses as a metaphor for strengthening the Christian position and launching from a place of strength. The conversation explores the concept of fortresses as a strategy for Christians in a negative world. Fortresses are tangible, martial in spirit, and serve as defensive structures that can be a base for launching forward. The progression in building fortresses is similar to the progression in strategy games, starting with small settlements and advancing to defensive structures. Fortresses are cultural spaces that provide a necessary area of life for Christians. Examples of fortresses include American Reformer and classical education. Churches owning their own space is crucial in a negative world. Screening is important to attract the right people and protect the integrity of the fortress. Normies can be won over by offering a better and higher life.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Guest Introductions03:44 Culture Warriors vs Cultural Engagement09:18 Cultural Insurgency13:56 Shifting Loyalties26:00 The Importance of Fortresses28:50 Introduction to the Concept of Fortresses29:19 The Importance of Tangibility and Martial Spirit30:14 Progression in Building Fortresses31:09 Fortresses as Cultural Spaces32:08 Building a Network of Fortresses33:07 Examples of Fortresses: American Reformer and Classical Education36:43 The Importance of Churches Owning Space39:29 Screening and the Importance of Attracting the Right People44:16 The Controversy of Screening and Ruffling Feathers45:38 The Concept of Normies and Acquiring Their LoyaltySupport the showSign up for the Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/chasedavisFollow Full Proof Theology on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/fullprooftheology/Follow Full Proof Theology on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/fullprooftheology/

It's not just smartphones that lure our attention away from driving, it's also the design of our vehicles and our brains working against us that cause us to be distracted. Danny sits down with the President & CEO of the Traffic Injury Research Foundation (TIRF) to discuss. Host: Danny SmithGuest: Robyn Robertson

In the relentless hustle of life, where every day feels like a battle on a new front, how do we keep our families not just safe, but spiritually secure? How do we forge an unbreakable spirit within our homes? It's a task that demands more than just physical strength or emotional resilience; it requires a foundation built on unwavering faith and courage. Let's dive into the essence of what it means to protect our most cherished treasures in a world that seems increasingly volatile.Scripture: 1 Corinthians 16:13 - "Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong."This passage serves as a clarion call, echoing through the ages to reach us with a message that's as relevant now as it was then. It's not merely advice; it's a strategy for life, encompassing the physical, the emotional, and the spiritual. To protect our families, we must first fortify ourselves with these four pillars: vigilance, steadfastness, courage, and strength. Each one is a critical component in the architecture of a family that can withstand any storm.Being "on guard" means being aware, not just of the physical threats that loom in the outside world, but of the subtler, more insidious dangers that can seep into our homes unnoticed: complacency, apathy, and fear. "Standing firm in the faith" is our anchor, reminding us that our beliefs are not just fair-weather friends, but the very bedrock of our existence. Being "courageous" and "strong" are the attributes that enable us to face these challenges head-on, not with the arrogance of invincibility, but with the humble recognition of our reliance on a power greater than ourselves.Focus Points (2 minutes):* Vigilance in Faith: Stay alert to the spiritual and moral challenges facing your family. Regularly engage in conversations about faith, values, and the importance of maintaining integrity in a compromising world.* Steadfastness in Belief: Anchor your family with rituals and traditions that reinforce your faith. Whether it's prayer before meals, weekly worship, or family Bible study, these practices build a strong spiritual foundation.* Courage in Adversity: Teach your family that courage doesn't mean the absence of fear, but the determination to face it head-on. Model this courage in your actions and decisions.* Strength in Unity: Foster a family environment where every member knows they are supported and loved. Strength comes from unity, from knowing that no one stands alone in times of trouble.Conclusion:Protecting our families in today's world requires more than just physical safeguards; it demands a fortress of faith, built on vigilance, steadfastness, courage, and strength. By embodying these principles, we not only shield our loved ones from harm but also empower them to stand firm in their own battles.Call to Action:This week, take a moment to evaluate your family's spiritual health. Identify one area where you can strengthen your collective faith, whether it's initiating a new family tradition, engaging in a community service project together, or simply spending more time in prayer as a family unit.Question of the Day: What step can you take today to fortify your family's spiritual resilience?Let's Pray:Heavenly Father, arm us with the vigilance to guard our hearts and homes, the steadfastness to remain rooted in our faith, the courage to face our fears, and the strength to stand united as a family in Your love. May we be a beacon of Your light in a dark world, a fortress of faith that never wavers. Amen.As we navigate the challenges of life, let's remember that the greatest protection we can offer our families doesn't come from the walls we build around our homes, but from the strength, courage, faith, and vigilance we cultivate within them. Together, let's build fortresses of faith that stand the test of time.My Reasons To Believe is a reader-supported publication.

In this podcast episode of "Art of the Kickstart," the CEO and co-founder of Silent, Aaron Zar, discussed the journey of establishing Silent Pocket, a company specializing in privacy and security products. Aaron explained that the company's roots go back to his father's invention of a Faraday sleeve, initially called the Suit Pocket, in the late 1990s as a way to address privacy and security concerns with advancing mobile technology. Over the years, Aaron and his father overcame challenges, including their diverse backgrounds and a lack of cut and sew expertise, to create products that empower individuals to protect their digital lives and maintain privacy in an increasingly vulnerable and data-driven world. They discussed the importance of privacy and security in today's digital age and the need for individuals to take control of their own digital protection.

So what is meant by "fortresses" of faith? Much like the castles of medieval times, the saints serve as very visible guideposts, help us orient ourselves, and can even offer refuge in times of trouble. In this 7 minute podcast from the Sonrise Morning Show with host Anna Mitchell, Dr. Italy discusses the essential place of Mary and the saints in the Church and in our lives. He details how this pilgrimage down the Rhine river and the unique places that will be visited can bring bring us a deeper understanding and connection to some of our amazing brothers and sisters in heaven.

With this crazy heat wave that keeps pummeling our nation, many people wish they had more time and money to just spend a few days by the sea. This, maybe, explains why the previous episodes of this podcast dedicated to seaside resorts have been much more popular than our usual average. As the audience is king, we scrapped our planned episode and thought about hitting the iron while it's hot. We were afraid of repeating ourselves, which is why we looked long and hard for a seaside place that's quite different from the norm. One of these places came to mind, a village I visited many years ago with my family. Being close to the Latium border it's pretty far away from where I live but it's absolutely wonderful. It has got everything: rich history, incredible monuments, amazing sea, wonderful beaches and much more. This is why this week What's Up Tuscany will bring you to Monte Argentario to discover one of Tuscany's best kept secrets, Porto Ercole.If you listen to the full episode you will know about the complex history of this town, how it became so important to play an important role in a major war and how it became property of the Spanish crown for more than two centuries. I will then tell you everything there is to know about this charming village, the many things to see, how a famous artist died here and a couple secret spots only locals know about. Then I will walk you through the many fortresses that protect this little harbour, tell you which of the many beaches might be the right one for you and then offer a plethora of practical advices on things to do, the best hotels and which eating spots could be right for you. This part of Tuscany is very different from the rest, but if you're looking for amazing sea, great beaches and plenty of stuff to do, give Mount Argentario a chance. It won't disappoint you.Email: podcast@larno.itFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/larno.itTwitter: @arno_it / @WhatsupTuscanyLINKS TO SOURCEShttps://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porto_Ercolehttps://www.fortezze.it/rocca_ercole_it.htmlhttps://tuscanyplanet.com/porto-ercole-cosa-vedere/https://www.jonesaroundtheworld.com/10-best-things-porto-ercole-italy/BACKGROUND MUSICPipe Choir - Bom Bom Breakthrough (Instrumental)Zentra - SiegeThe Passion Hi-fi - Buried (Instrumental)Cityfires - Blood Problems (Instrumental)Audionautix - SoulstonePipe Choir - The Opening Closing (Instrumental)Wayne John Bradley - Blues Rock Original InstrumentalAll released under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Licensehttps://soundcloud.com/pipe-choir-2/pipe-choir-bom-bom-breakthrough-creative-commons-instrumentalhttps://soundcloud.com/argofox/zentra-siegehttps://soundcloud.com/freehiphopbeatsforyou/free-the-passion-hifi-buriedhttps://soundcloud.com/cityfires/blood-problems-instrumentalhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyyMXafoL-Ahttps://soundcloud.com/pipe-choir-2/p-c-iii-the-opening-closinginstrumentalcreative-commonshttps://soundcloud.com/ayneohnradley/blues-rock-original-instrumentalcreative-commonshttp://www.pipechoir.com/

In the final lecture on Florida, we examine how the tropical state, thanks to innovations like DDT, orange-juice concentrate, and air conditioning, was able to boom at an unimaginable pace, rocketing into the top five biggest states in the union, with massive scientific and artistic communities, a diverse immigrant mosaic, and after the Civil Rights movement, exceptionally volatile and unpredictable politics. We consider the importance of the last great expression of Florida utopianism -- namely, Disney World -- and the shift into a perceived playground of anarchy and American dreams gone mad, as personified in the notorious "Florida Man."

1067 was a time of incredible change within England. Fortresses were being constructed everywhere. Existing fortresses were seized and then manned by foreign mercenaries. Estates and farms in the surrounding areas were being seized and handed over to many of these same foreigners.

John Goodall examines how the castle's role has evolved through time – from medieval fortresses and prisons to regal residences and tourist hotspots. Speaking with Emily Briffett, he explains how these iconic landmarks have reflected society throughout their long history and shaped the way we think about the past.

We follow the southward-racing juggernaut of modern Florida, from statehood in 1845 to the 1930s – the insatiable quest of visionaries and megalomaniacs, from Jewish utopians, to slave-driving planters, to evangelical missionaries, to black politicians, to hotel magnates, to messianic cult leaders, to women's suffragists, to Cuban revolutionaries, to bohemian poets, to impose a sense of order upon the chaotic and unruly wilderness of tropical Florida. Though ignored in our national mythology and dismissed as a southern backwater, the state was the site of the first confrontation of the Civil War, and of the longest-lasting and most aggressive Reconstruction regime, which created the first universal public school system in the South and fostered the first booming tourist economy in America, spearheaded by none other than Harriet Beecher Stowe. We conclude our journey through Florida with an examination of Florida literature, ending with an analysis of Wallace Stevens' ode to Florida, “The Idea of Order at Key West.” Suggested Further Reading: Foster & Foster, “Beechers, Stowes, and Yankee Strangers: The Transformation of Florida”; J. T. Kirby, “Mockingbird Song: Ecological Landscapes of the South.” Please sign up as a patron to hear the next Myth of the Month – www.patreon.com/user?u=5530632

Conservatives continue to focus solely on Biden and the midterms, while failing to see how Republicans are already betraying them. Last night, Republicans funded more inflation and clot-shot mandates with the defense bill, yet nobody cares. GOP governors are going along with punishing Guardsmen for not getting the shots. Then, we still have people getting thrown in jail for Jan. 6 while not having committed actual crimes. What are we going to do to stop this political persecution? We are joined by Pinal County, Arizona, Sheriff Mark Lamb, who warns that tyranny cannot succeed without the complaisance of local law enforcement. He explains his "sheriff's posse" program to establish a seamless relationship between local law enforcement and the community to ensure that a firewall against tyranny is built at the local level. Our challenge is to use and expand this idea throughout the country.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We all have battles in our minds—in our thoughts. Our minds are at enmity with God, hostile to His Word, and need to be changed. Today Derek explains, through the Word and personal experience, how we must fight our way through discouragement, doubt, and fear to walk in victory in truth.
