Means&3rd aka Ben Marsden joins us for episode 469 with an extensive session covering over 2 hours worth of techno territory. The Manchester based artist can be found behind the counter at the legendary Eastern Bloc Records where he fronts the house and techno curation for the shop. He has leveraged his exposure to the latest sounds there to promote his own Unveiled Nuance events and label as well as securing performances at events throughout the country. Some words from Ben - "I aimed to create something that reflects where I am sonically right now. The aesthetic of the deeper sound has expanded so much lately, touching on all sorts of BPM's and vibes, and I've really been loving every bit of it. This music requires some patience and a commitment to fully appreciate it, which is one of the reasons it continues to captivate me so much. I also wanted to give a huge shout-out to all the incredible artists featured in this mix; there's so much amazing music out there right now., and a massive thank you to the Monument team as well—I'm genuinely grateful for this opportunity " Follow : Soundcloud - https://soundcloud.com/means3rd Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/means_3rd/ Labels Bandcamp - https://means3rd.bandcamp.com/ Monument x Carbon Carbon is a new music platform designed by and for fans of electronic music.

Mehr als 70.000 Kilometer saß Franz Jörg Richter schon auf dem Fahrradsattel, er radelte quer durch Europa und Amerika. Unterwegs sammelt er Spenden, um Kinder und Familien, die an seltenen Erkrankungen leiden, zu unterstützen. In "Habe die Ehre!" erzählt er bei Jochen Wobser von seiner Motivation, Höhen und Tiefen und seinem neuesten Vorhaben.

In dieser Folge von Grundsatz präsentiert der Campus Tivoli Ausschnitte einer Gedenkveranstaltung im österreichischen Parlament anlässlich des Holocaustgedenktags am 27. Jänner 2025. 80 Jahre nach der Befreiung von Auschwitz diskutieren Expertinnen und Experten und Politikerinnen und Politiker darüber, wie das Gedenken bewahrt und Antisemitismus entschlossen bekämpft werden kann. Den historischen Kontext eröffnet Wolfgang Gerstl, der an die Gründung der ÖVP als Gegenmodell zur NS-Diktatur erinnert. Er hebt den Mut von Widerstandskämpferinnen und Widerstandskämpfern wie Franz Jägerstätter hervor, die sich gegen das Regime stellten und dafür ihr Leben ließen. Der Präsident des Campus Tivoli, Wolfgang Sobotka betont, dass Antisemitismus heute nicht nur ein Problem des Rechtsextremismus sei, sondern zunehmend auch in linken und migrantischen Milieus wachse. Er warnt vor der Verharmlosung antiisraelischer Narrative und fordert eine klare Haltung gegen Täter-Opfer-Umkehr, insbesondere im Zusammenhang mit dem Nahostkonflikt.Während Sobotka die gesellschaftlichen Herausforderungen anspricht, geht Hannah Lessing auf eine zentrale Problematik der Erinnerungskultur ein: Mit dem Sterben der Zeitzeuginnen und Zeitzeugen droht die Geschichte zu verblassen. Dass die Erinnerung an den Holocaust nicht nur eine nationale, sondern eine gesamteuropäische Aufgabe sei, unterstreicht Tomi Huhtanen. Er mahnt, dass die Lehren aus der Vergangenheit nicht in Vergessenheit geraten dürfen, da sie die Grundlage für Europas demokratische Werte bilden.Wie dringend diese Aufklärungsarbeit ist, zeigen alarmierende Forschungsergebnisse: Thomas Stern belegt mit aktuellen Studien, dass antisemitische Einstellungen unter Jugendlichen zunehmen, während gleichzeitig das Wissen über den Holocaust abnehme. Besonders problematisch sei die wachsende Zustimmung zu Holocaust-verharmlosenden Vergleichen zwischen Israel und dem NS-Regime. Dass diese Entwicklungen gravierende Auswirkungen auf das tägliche Leben jüdischer Familien haben, erläutert Jasmin Freyer. Als weiterer inhaltlicher Bestandteil der Gedenkveranstaltung beleuchtet Paul Brandacher die Rolle sozialer Medien bei der Verbreitung antisemitischer Narrative. Er weist darauf hin, dass Holocaustverzerrung und Desinformation auf Plattformen wie TikTok oder Instagram weitgehend ungefiltert kursieren. Ahmad Mansour ergänzt, dass antisemitische Hetze nicht nur online, sondern auch auf den Straßen westlicher Länder sichtbar werde. Er fordert, politische Bildung stärker auf digitale Räume auszuweiten, um dort gezielt gegenzusteuern.Dass Antisemitismus auch an Universitäten oft unterschätzt werde, kritisiert Clara Nathusius. Systematische Aufklärung über den Zionismus und die Geschichte Israels fehle oft. Isolde Vogel verweist passend hierzu auf das Konzept des „ehrbaren Antisemitismus“, der sich hinter moralischen Argumenten verstecke, aber dennoch tief antisemitische Strukturen reproduziere. Um diesem entgegenzutreten, seien präventive Bildungsmaßnahmen essenziell.Zum Abschluss betont Caroline Hungerländer die Verantwortung der Politik: Es dürfe nicht bei symbolischen Maßnahmen bleiben, sondern es brauche konkrete Unterstützung für all jene, die sich in der Zivilgesellschaft aktiv gegen Antisemitismus engagieren. Dies sei keine optionale Aufgabe, sondern eine demokratische Notwendigkeit.Die Expertinnen und Experten sind sich einig: Erinnerung müsse aktiv bewahrt werden, um Antisemitismus und Geschichtsverfälschung entgegenzuwirken. Bildung, politische Maßnahmen und gesellschaftliches Engagement seien entscheidend, um „Nie wieder“ als Prinzip für die Gegenwart zu verankern.

Was es heißt, wenn ein Albtraum wahr wird, das erfährt Franz Jägerstätter. Sebastian Fiebig erzählt seine Geschichte.

La vie de l'autrichien catholique Franz Jägerstätter peut nous aider aujourd'hui encore à comprendre ce qu'est la liberté de conscience. Celui qui refusa de servir le régime nazi au risque de sa vie a réussi à écouter la voix de Dieu en lui. Comment s'est-il forgé cette force intérieure ? C'est ce que nous propose de saisir le père Matthieu Aine, curé du diocèse de Lille.

The concluding episode of our series with Steven DeLay on the films of Terrence Malick. Thomas gives a speculative explanation for why Voyage of Time (2016) was so unwatchably bad. We have an extended discussion about the beautiful depiction of Christian martyrdom in Malick's 2019 film A Hidden Life, which portrays the life of Franz Jägerstätter, a conscientious objector under the Nazi regime. Brett (rejoining the Malick series for the first time since the initial three episodes) gives his opinion on some of the films that Thomas and Steven have analyzed in recent entries. Finally, we talk about our overall impression of Malick's work and career and give our picks for his best and worst films (in terms of both themes and craftsmanship).https://twitter.com/StevenDeLay4https://stevendelay.com/https://sunypress.edu/Books/L/Life-Above-the-Cloudshttps://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinemahttp://psyop-cinema.com/https://linktr.ee/psyopcinema thomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com

Sermon Resources: 1. Franz Jägerstätter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_J%C3%A4gerst%C3%A4tter 2. “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. In fact, it's the only thing that ever has.” -Margaret Mead 3. “For the growing good of the world is dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs." -George Eliot, "Middlemarch" 4. “If we truly love people, we will desire for them far more than it is within our power to give them, and this will lead us to prayer. Intercession is a way of loving others…it is selfless prayer, even self-giving prayer. In the ongoing work of the kingdom of God, nothing is more important than intercession.” -Richard Foster, "Prayer" 5. "On The Powers of Simple Medicine," by Galen 6. “In careful scientific studies, forgiveness has been shown to reduce depression, increase hopefulness, decrease anger, improve spiritual connection, and increase self-confidence.” -Fred Luskin, "Forgive For Good: A Proven Prescription For Health and Happiness" 7. “The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians: who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, walk out the door, and deny Him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.” -Brennan Manning

What would you do in the place of Austrian farmer Franz Jägerstätter in 1943? Mumble your loyalty oath to Hitler like everyone else—or refuse and pay with your life? This martyr is a blessed in the Catholic Church and on the way to being canonized. He is also the subject of a transcendentally beautiful movie A Hidden life by Terrence Mallick in 2019. Pastor Brian Zahnd, author of the Wood Between the Worlds, talks about the man, the movie, and the martyrdom with me on Almost Good Catholics. There's a moment in our discussion where I say to Brian that, had I been in Franz's shoes, I think I would have just gone along with the oath so that I could get through my service as a soldier, perhaps as a conscientious objector, driving an ambulance or serving as a medical orderly. This choice seemed to make sense because I would have honored my obligation to my little children, to my wife, to my farm and my village, and not worried about the abstraction of the oath. But by the time our conversation ended, I think I changed my mind. The whole point of our Faith is that we do not believe that death is an end but a beginning, and we believe that those who have gone home to the Lord are still with us—literally a communion of saints. So, I changed my mind over the course of this hour: and I now think, in conclusion, that the red crown of martyrdom is a grace offered to some of tremendous faith, and that God will help us take care of the family we leave behind in the world.

In this week's episode, Fr. Kerry and interim host Clay Furleigh talk about an important and unknown figure who lived in the 1900s martyred for his Catholic faith at the hands of the Nazis during World War II. Resource: Fox Searchlight Pictures “A Hidden Life” (movie, 2019)

This week, we discuss two films from acclaimed director Terrence Malick. The first is To the Wonder (2012), an experimental romantic drama starring Ben Affleck, Olga Kurylenko, Rachel McAdams and Javier Bardem. Filmed in Oklahoma and Paris, the film chronicles a couple who, after falling in love in Paris, struggle to keep their relationship from falling apart after moving to the United States. The second is A Hidden Life (2019), an epic historical drama starring August Diehl, Valerie Pachner and Matthias Schoenaerts, with Michael Nyqvist and Bruno Ganz in their final performances. The film depicts the life of Franz Jägerstätter, an Austrian farmer and devout Catholic who refused to fight for the Nazis in World War II.   Timestamps This podcast contains spoilers for the following films/TV shows: What we've been watching (00:01:10) – Baby Reindeer, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Tires, Challengers, Mad Max 1-3, To the Wonder (00:45:50) A Hidden Life (01:12:00) Coin toss (01:26:00)   Links Instagram - @callitfriendopodcast @munnywales @andyjayritchie   Letterboxd – @andycifpod @fat-tits mcmahon   Justwatch.com – streaming and rental links - https://www.justwatch.com

Our next entry to the Four Four Local Selection welcomes 'i decided' for the 232nd edition of the series. Specialising in all things loopy and hypnotic techno the mix is carefully crafted from start to finish and is filled with spooky textures, dreary atmospheres and sensual selections. i decided (Cormac Farley, formerly known as Farlo) is an upcoming producer and DJ from North Dublin. He draws heavy inspiration from the sound of late 90s and early 00s techno while incorporating elements of hypnotic, loopy and dynamic atmospheric sounds akin to soundtracks from the golden age of classic sci-fi and horror films which adds an interesting angle and approach to both his mixes and productions. Following his sophomore release on Tremors Glasgow-based label Oscillator One, he has garnered support for his tracks from artists globally such as Egotot, Takaaki Itoh, Radical Softness, Franz Jäger, Alarico, and more. i decided has found themselves part of the Irish label, event and mix series HRLA which has showcased a range of fantastic music through their label releases and DJs through their events and their HRLA selects mix series. They have broadcasted a selection of local and international artists since their inception back in 2022 such as Thelma, XXXX In Stereo, RAAB and more across a variety of mediums. This entry to the Local Selection is an exceptional showcase of i decided's sound and musical ethos at play, as he continually builds the energy of the recording over the hour with a fine selection of loopy and hypnotic rhythms. The mix displays i decided's ability to emit tension and release throughout the recording resulting in a rich listening experience, especially for those who find themselves listening to techno regularly. i decided ---------------------- SC: @user-150081317-290969504 IG: www.instagram.com/cormacfarlo/ Four Four Magazine

God chose his elect before the foundation of the world to be primarily foolish in the eyes of the world, he did this specifically to shame the powerful and wealthy. - SERMON TRANSCRIPT - Turn in your Bibles to Mark 12. We're looking this morning at the text verses 38-44. Most of God's choice of servants throughout history have been obscure people. Their acts of service have been unnoticed by the general population. They've been unrecorded by the historians of their age, seemingly lost for all time in the hiddenness and the forgetfulness of the obscurity of history. But God never forgets. God sees everything that we do, and He never forgets any act of service. The account that we are studying this morning of the tiniest, most seemingly obscure act of giving done by an unnamed and obscure woman was recorded and celebrated by the Holy Spirit in two different places, here in this text and also in Luke 21. It was God's intention that every generation of His people since that time read this account. This account teaches us many things, but especially it teaches us that God delights in secret acts of piety and humble service that no one ever notices, but that He does. God knows His obscure servants because the overwhelming majority of His people are precisely that, obscure servants. Look at the clear declaration given us by the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 1. He says there, "Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards, not many were influential, not many were of noble birth, but God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise. God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. God chose the lowly things of the world and the despise things and the things that are not to nullify the things that are so that no one may boast before Him." "God delights in secret acts of piety and humble service that no one ever notices, but that He does." This text says that God specifically put His church together in His own mind. We learned from other passages, before the foundation of the world, God chose His church with a majority of people who were not wise by human standards. They're not the geniuses, they're not the intelligentsia, they're not the Nobel Prize winners, they're not the poet laureates, they're not also many influential, they're not the movers and shakers in their generation. They're actually the opposite. They are the moved and the shaken. Not many of them were nobility, not many of the aristocracy, not many of the A-listers, the Hall of Famers, the world champions. God chose His elect before the foundation of the world to be primarily foolish in the eyes of the world, weak in the eyes of the world, lowly. He did this, He says in that text specifically to shame the wise, the powerful, the wealthy, the nobility. When will that shaming occur? Certainly not for the most part in this world, but it will happen on Judgment Day and for all eternity. That's when it will be obvious that all that mattered is what Christ thought about you, your person, and your works. All that mattered is what Christ thought about you and how He evaluated you. So God loves the obscure, He loves the insignificant, He loves the works that fly perpetually below the radar of our screen that the world never noticed. I noticed this theme some years ago as I was reading through the Bible and my annual Bible reading program brought me to the book of 1 Chronicles, everybody's favorite book. I don't know if you remember what's in 1 Chronicles. It begins with a series of genealogies of the tribes of Israel, the 12 tribes. There are 911 names in those first nine chapters. Yes, I counted them. Other than David's descendants, the tribe of Judah, over 90% of those names had no cross-reference at all to any other passage in the Bible. In my study Bible, there were no footnotes about those people because we know nothing about them other than what tribe they were and their name or whatever it says in the verse. The question came to my mind, why are they here at all? Why did the Holy Spirit inspire the author of 1 Chronicles to write their names down and then the Lord protected that copy throughout every generation so that all of us would read those names, people that we don't know, and recorded for all eternity. We have no further explanation of their lives, not a word about their deeds, their dreams, their hopes, their expectations, their fears, their achievements, their accomplishments, none of it. So why are they there? I don't know, but it may be to teach us that God cares about obscure people just like you and me, and that though we don't know anything about those people, God knows everything about those people, and that their lives matter to him. Most of God's people in every generation are exactly those kinds of people. They're obscure whose lives will almost be totally forgotten within three generations of their death. We're coming around to that time of year when some of us watch It's a Wonderful Life. Others can't stand it. You watched it one time and you were like, "Why is this movie on every year?" But I love that movie. The movie is about a simple guy named George Bailey who's an obscure individual, who lives an ordinary life, running the Bailey Building and Loan so that common working class people can have homes to live in. At a key moment, he makes a moving speech to the villain in the story, Mr. Potter, a wealthy man who's taking advantage of these poor people. In that speech, he basically says, "These common people that the Bailey Building and Loan cares for and provides for are the people who do most of the eating and sleeping and living and dying in this town and in this country, and though they don't matter to you, they matter to my father who started the Bailey Building and Loan, they matter to me." It's a very passionate speech, but Jesus goes infinitely beyond that sentiment. He actually uses the commonest actions of obscure people to build the city in which we will live forever, the radiant new Jerusalem whose stones were put in place by the humble actions of the kind of obscure people that we're looking at today, like this woman who gives the two copper coins. The entire new Jerusalem is built by those types of labors, those types of works. That's what this account is about in my mind, an obscure woman, a widow with no name, almost no resources, who is carefully noticed and celebrated by the only observer who really matters and that's Jesus Christ. He's the judge of all the earth. It is a strong statement that Christ notices and uses hidden acts of sacrifice to build his kingdom of glory. The context is one of stark contrast. Putting these two paragraphs together, you may say, "What do they have to do with each other?" You've got the Scribes and Pharisees, religious leaders of the day who Jesus just rips in this account with their outward displays of religion that dominated Jewish society, but were actually deeply corrupt. They were wolves in sheep's clothing, plundering poor widows like this one. Then you've got this widow who Jesus, it seems, celebrates. I put it together in terms of the concept of a foretaste of Judgment Day of what Jesus thought about this one category and what Jesus thought about the other. I. Jesus Gives a Foretaste of Judgment Day That's the unifying theme of the two paragraphs, Jesus gives us a foretaste of Judgment Day. We begin as we look at that by saying things are not what they appear. There should be a growing sense in the heart of maturing Christians. The things on earth are not as they appear to be. Many of the most powerful people on earth, the wealthiest people on earth are to be the most pitied because of their spiritual condition and the road that they're on. Many, on the other hand, are the meek and lowliest people on earth, Jesus says, who stand to inherit everything, the meek who will inherit the earth. The Judgment Day that is coming is a day of great reversals, a day in which the lowliest and most obscure of Christ's servants will be exalted to the heavens and crowned with stunning glory, and a day in which those most glorified in this world, the most outwardly powerful and wealthy and dominant will be stripped forever. There is a day coming in which all secrets will be unveiled and all works judged with a perfect eye by the judge of all the earth. That day is called Judgment Day. The Scripture reveals who that judge will be and that judge is Jesus Christ. My task as a pastor and a regular preacher of the Word is to make that Judgment Day vivid in your minds every day, that you think about that day, you get ready because that Judgment Day is most certainly coming. Jesus is presented in Scripture as the judge of all the earth. Many passages speak of him as a perfect judge. Isaiah 11, for example, speaks of this, “A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse. From his roots, a branch will bear fruit that shoots from the stump of Jesse — Jesus Christ, the incarnate Lord. The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him. The spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the spirit of counsel and of might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. He will delight in the fear of the Lord. He will not judge by what He sees with his eyes or decide by what He hears with his ears, but with righteousness, He will judge the needy. With justice, He will give decisions for the poor of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth. With the breath of his lips, He will slay the wicked. Righteousness will be his belt, and faithfulness his sash around his waist. That is Jesus portrayed as the judge of all the earth in Isaiah 11. Jesus openly made this claim for himself. In John 5, He said that the Father has given Him the honor of being the judge of every human being that ever has lived or ever will live because He's the Son of Man. John 5:22, 23, "The father judges no one but has entrusted all judgment to the son that all may honor the son even as they honor the Father." It's an incredible statement to make saying that the entire human race will honor Jesus the way they honor God when He sits up to judge the human race. A few verses later, John 5:26, 27, "For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the son also to have life in himself and He has given him authority to judge because he is the son of man." Then in verse 30 of that same chapter, "By myself, I can do nothing. I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just I seek not to please myself but Him who sent me." That's an open claim that Jesus makes of having an honor equal to God himself and that God has given Him the role of being judge of all the earth. He says the same thing in Matthew 25, speaking of the Second Coming, "When the son of man comes in his glory and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory." He'll sit in honor and glory and power judging. That's the picture. "All the nations will be gathered before him and he'll separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats." Jesus, the judge of all the earth. On that day, He will, it says in Proverbs 20:8, winnow out the wicked with his eyes and He will reward his faithful servants with eternal honors. Proverbs 20:8 says, "When a king sits on his throne to judge, he winnows out all evil with his eyes." He's going to separate out the wicked, the goats, and He'll reward his faithful servant as He says in Matthew 10:42, “If anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones, these messengers, because he is my disciple, he will never lose his reward.” That's a tiny act of service similar to the widow giving her two copper coins. You’ll never lose your reward because Jesus will see every cup of cold water given to help missionaries, to help servants of the word along. He will reward them, and they'll get the same reward as the messengers, the missionaries, the pastors, et cetera, the support system. It's an incredible statement. II. Jesus Exposes the Spiritual Predators Jesus begins in this passage by exposing the spiritual predators. This is the final week of Jesus' life. We're walking through that. Jesus is in the temple and He's teaching. He's been ministering, healings, it says in one of the other Gospels, not here in Mark, but He heals, and He does his teaching ministry. These are the final words in Mark's Gospel that He speaks to his unbelieving enemies. The Scribes and Pharisees have dogged his steps every day of his public ministry. They hate Him, they're opposed to Him, they're genuinely wicked people. But to others, they appear as righteous. The Scribes and Pharisees are the spiritual leaders of Israel. Jesus says in Matthew 23, they have a legitimate authority, they sit in Moses' seat, so you must obey them. They have a legitimate authority, but they have misused that authority. They've abused that authority, and Jesus calls them out. This is their final chance to be convicted by the only perfect prophet that's ever lived, to take his fiery words, his convicting words to heart and repent of their sins and find salvation in Him. Like a surgeon cutting open the body to find the tumor, He exposes their wickedness. Mark's account here is greatly truncated compared to Matthew’s account. It's greatly reduced. Look at verses 38-40, "As he taught, Jesus said, 'Watch out for the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets. They devour widows houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely.’” That's it. Just a few sentences here. But in Matthew 23, He gives the seven woes to the Scribes and Pharisees in this rhythmic pattern, "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. Woe to you, scribes and pharisees, you hypocrites,. . .” a whole chapter. It's a lengthy chapter in Matthew 23. Here he just says Scribes or teaches of the law. Matthew adds Pharisees, he puts them together. Jesus warns the people to watch out for them. Earlier He had called them the blind leading the blind. Now, here He exposes their love for ostentatious displays of religiosity, flowing robes, the trappings of godliness and of piety, but there's no real spiritual power behind it, there's no life behind it, no genuine holiness. They love the horizontal honors they get from the Jewish population, they love to be greeted in the marketplaces, they love the places of honor, they love to be in the most important seats in the synagogues. They love this kind of thing. They were used to it, they expected it, they probably felt they deserved it, and it seems that the people felt so too because they gave it to them. They gave them this honor. But Jesus also exposes their hypocrisy for a show. He says here in Mark's Gospel, they make lengthy prayers. They're just putting their piety on display. But then Jesus also probes to their secret wickedness, they devour widows’ houses. They take advantage of widows who had no protection. Because of their positions of power in the society, they could go over a widow's estate and give her binding spiritual, religious, legal advice. Furthermore, they could and did demand exorbitant fees from widows for their services. If the widow couldn't pay, they had the right to confiscate their homes. It's really horrible and disgusting, especially when you consider what James says in James 1:27, "Religion that our God and Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress." They were taking advantage of widows in their distress. It says in Exodus 22:22-24, "Do not take advantage of the widow or the fatherless. If you do and they cry out to me, I will certainly hear their cry. My anger will be aroused and I will kill you with the sword." Jesus's harsh words to them in Matthew 23 and his brief words here is a foretaste of the coming sword, and that sword is going to come on Judgment Day for them. He's representing a rage from God against them for this, the fact that they devour widows’ houses. He's using his words as a foretaste of the sword. Remember how in Revelation He's depicted as having a double-edged sword coming out of his mouth. He has this rage and He's clearly revealing what's going to happen to these wicked religious leaders on Judgment. Look at verse 40, they will receive the greater condemnation. I believe this principle is based on one's knowledge of the Word of God. The more you know and didn't obey, the worse it's going to go for you on Judgment Day. That's why I've said before, the worst place to go to hell from is a healthy Christian family that poured the gospel into you from childhood and you never repented. I do believe the more you know and don't live up to it by faith, the worst it will be for you in Judgment Day. How about these Scribes who were pouring over every letter of the law of Moses and they weren't living it out? It's a terrifying thing. In Greek it says they'll have greater condemnation or abundant judgment, actually overwhelming judgment. "The worst place to go to hell from is a healthy Christian family that poured the gospel into you from childhood and you never repented. I do believe the more you know and don't live up to it by faith, the worst it will be for you in Judgment Day." The woeful statements, as I said, are in Matthew 23. The rhythm is seven times, a sevenfold condemnation that He uses with his words, a prophetic statement of woe, "Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites." He probes their hypocrisies, their outward show of inward corruption. He calls them whitewash tombs which look beautiful on the outside but inside full of dead men's bones and everything unclean. It is a terrifying chapter to read and it culminates in this statement of judgment on them, Matthew 23:33, "You snakes, you brood of vipers, how will you escape being condemned to hell?" It's a terrifying statement coming from the judge of all the earth. Then He makes the prediction of Jerusalem's destruction because they always persecute the prophets sent to them. "Therefore," Matthew 23, "I'm sending you prophets and righteous men and teachers. Some of them you'll kill and crucify, others you'll flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town. And so upon you will come all the righteous blood that has been shed on earth from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. Truly I say to you, all this will come down on this generation." Then He says this, "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were unwilling. Behold your house is left to you desolate for I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'" That sets up the next chapter that we're going to go to, God willing, Mark 13, the prediction of the destruction of the temple and of Jerusalem, but it all comes on the tail end of his condemnation of these terrible religious leaders, the Scribes and Pharisees. III. Jesus Extols an Obscure Giver That's the condemnation He gives to those corrupt religionists. Now we turn to the widow, the obscure giver, and Jesus extols her. Look at verse 41-44, "Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple Treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts, but a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins worth only a few cents. Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, 'Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. They all gave out of their wealth, but she, out of her poverty, put in everything, all she had to live on.'" It begins with Jesus's physical position. It's very significant, Jesus sitting down and watching. I want you to get a foretaste of Jesus on his Judgment seat. That's what you get the picture of. He's sitting down and He sees everything. As in Revelation 1, He has eyes of blazing fire. He's watching what's happening in the midst of all this hustle and bustles, just a busy day, people coming and going, and they're pouring money into this treasury, into this box, and He's observing it. This is a picture you should have in your mind. Jesus is seated on his Judgment throne and watching everything I do. He's evaluating me. That's what Judgment Day is all about. We're all going to come before his Judgment seat and give an account for everything we've ever done in our lives. This account gives us a picture. We can picture it in our minds. He's seated and watching and observing, and He's talking about it. All of this is going on, and the monies are coming, people are making contributions in the temple grounds. He's sitting there just watching it. Sadly, the monies that are being collected in this big box, they go to the Scribes and Pharisees, the very ones that Jesus has condemned. They're going right to those wicked people, and it's tragic. You can picture a wooden chest with a hole and a metal-like trumpet-looking thing, like a funnel. The people would come in and they would pour their money in. It was all coins, it wasn't paper money. It would be precious metals, gold, silver, copper. The larger the donation, the more money, the more sound it would make. It would just rattle and clang down the thing if you're putting in lots of amounts. Some of these people were coming in and making a big show of what they were offering. I think they have these kind of money things like at the Harris Teeter store too. Sometimes people bring huge amounts of coins and it's like... I can't imitate it, but it's just this loud noise and they're all coming and they're giving. Lots of heavy coins. The gold is the heaviest, the densest and lots of that. It's just coming down. I think it lines up somewhat with Jesus' condemnation of this kind of outward showy giving. In Matthew 6:2, He says, "When you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their award in full." I don't know if there's actual trumpets, but this thing was like that. It was making a lot of noise if you gave a big amount. While all this is going on, all this racket and bustle, along comes this woman and she's got in her hand these two little copper coins. The text identifies her as a poor widow. She was at the lowest level of their society socioeconomically. There was no one to protect her. She had no resources. Again, she's completely obscure. The text tells us nothing about her. Her gift would've made almost no difference at all in the running of the temple or anything. It was just a tiny, seemingly insignificant amount. Jesus watches her carefully. I think He could only have had supernatural knowledge of what she put in. Imagine how small these coins were. She extends her hand, opens it, and walks away. How do we know it was two copper coins? It's just that supernatural knowledge the Bible gives us, but Jesus knew. He watches her carefully and He has supernatural knowledge of her condition like He does of that Samaritan woman who's had five husbands and the man she now has is not her husband. Jesus has supernatural knowledge of her circumstances and He speaks of the significance of her giving. He knows that those two coins represented everything she had in the world, all she had to live on. He speaks of that significance of the action. One could easily question her judgment in giving this amount, think that she was actually behaving foolishly. There's actually a well-known commentator that took this whole angle. He said, "These two accounts are put together where you have the victimizer and then the victim." I think it makes a certain amount of sense. However, he goes too far when he says that the text in no way presents the woman as a model of giving. That I cannot agree with. If you just read the paragraph, you'd think that Jesus is actually commending her faith-filled giving. He's talking about sacrifice, He's talking about the gift is proportional to what it meant to you. It's proportional to your sacrifice. It's not a value system on an absolute scale. It has to do with what that money meant to you. So I think that commentator went too far when he says, "Look, there is nothing commendable about what she..." Actually, he goes so far as to say, "She's somewhat foolish, but she's an example of a widow who's being plundered and being taken advantage of." That part I can agree with. But that she's not a role model, I can't go that far. As a matter of fact, I don't know if you remember that story in the Old Testament about Elijah, during the famine, during the drought, he was being fed by some ravens, and he was by the brook, but then that dried up, and then it was time for him to move. God tells Elijah, 1 King 17: 9 and following, "Go at once to Zarephath in the region of Sidon and stay there. I have directed a widow there to supply you with food." The thing that's funny about that is she knew nothing about that, but God says, "I've directed her." In other words, it's a done deal. She's going to take care of him. He went to Zarephath, and when he went to the town gate, the widow was there and she's gathering sticks. He called to her and asked, "Would you bring me a little water in a jar so I might have a drink?" As she was going to get it, he called, "And bring me, please, a piece of bread." You get the feeling in the account, "Now you've gone too far. I'll get you a little water, that's hard enough to come by during a drought. But the bread now, that's a whole different matter.” So she says, "As surely as the Lord your God lives, I don't have any bread. What I have is a handful of flour in a jar and I have a little olive oil in a jug. I'm gathering a few sticks to take home and make a meal for myself and my son that we may eat it and die." She's basically saying, this is her version of the two copper coins, this is all I have to live on, this is it. But then Elijah said to her, "Don't be afraid. Go home and do as you said, but first, make a small loaf of bread from me from what you have and bring it to me. And then make something for yourself and your son for this is what the Lord the God of Israel says, the jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the Lord sends rain on the land." He gives her a promise from the Lord. The key thing with this woman in the Elijah story is she believed that promise. She was willing to act in faith on that promise. She went away and did as Elijah had told her. There was food every day for Elijah and for the woman and her family for the jar of flour was not used up and the jug of oil did not run dry in keeping with the Word of the Lord spoken by Elijah. I do not think we can say this widow is an example of foolishness having given too much. Think again, the rich young ruler, Jesus commanded him to sell everything he had and give it to the poor. I don't think that she's negative. As a matter of fact, I want to turn around and say she is an example of sacrificial giving that will stand across all the ages and is worth celebrating. IV. God Delights in Obscure Servants and Hidden Works God delights in obscure servants and hidden works of sacrificial giving. He delights in them and Jesus notices them. As I've said, most of God's servants are obscure people who do their good deeds in a hidden way. God sees what they will do and will reward it based on His principles. Jesus said, "When you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing that your giving may be in secret, then your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you. And when you pray, go into your room, close the door, and pray to your Father who is unseen, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you. And when you fast, put oil in your head and wash your face so it'll not be obvious to others that you're fasting but only to your Father in heaven and your father who sees what is done in secret will reward you." Those are three examples, giving to the poor, prayer, and fasting where God observes secret acts of hidden piety and rewards them on Judgment Day. Culminating all that, He talks about storing up treasure in heaven. In Matthew 6, He says, "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth where moth and rust destroy and thieves break in and steal, but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven where moth and rust do not destroy and where thieves do not break in and steal for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." That whole section, Matthew 6:1-21, commends a life of secret piety and giving in which your works are not being done to be observed by others, but God sees and He rewards them and He's exhorting you store up a whole lifetime of those works, that's going to be treasure for you in heaven. Later, as I mentioned, when teaching about rewards in Matthew 10, He sends out the disciples two by two and makes this amazing statement, which I alluded to a moment ago, "Whoever welcomes a prophet because he is a prophet, will receive a prophet's reward. Whoever welcomes a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man's reward. And if anyone gives one of you messengers of the gospel, even a cup of cold water, he'll certainly not lose his reward." What is Jesus saying there? He's saying that the hidden support system people get the same rewards as the upfront famous people. The ones that supported Luther or Calvin or John Owen or whatever, the ones that no one even knows about that enabled them to live and to do their works and all that, they will be honored and rewarded with the same kind of reward that the upfront famous leaders get. That means on Judgment Day, there'll be some surprises. A lot of them as a matter of fact, because Jesus says about this widow, she gave more than anyone else gave. You see, she gave more. She gave the most. It's not something we would've seen. One of the Judgment Day principles is the gift is accepted based on what it meant to you, not based on its absolute market value. He says in 2 Corinthians 8:12, "If the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what one does not have." That means the harder it is for you to give, and I don't just mean financially, it could be in evangelism, it could be your time, your energy, it could be hospitality, it could be anything, if it's hard for you to do and you do it anyway, it's more commendable than if it comes out of a surplus. I think most of the giving we give is out of surplus. It doesn't pinch us. It's not a real sacrifice. But for this widow, it is a real sacrifice. That means Judgment Day is a great reversal. Some of the greatest servants of Christ will be Judgment Day surprises like this widow, and many, if not most of them, will be women. I've studied church history. History tends to focus on men, on great leaders, political leaders, religious leaders, military, financial, and they've generally been men. There are great men who have made great sacrifices and they will be worth getting some reward in heaven. They are what they appear to be, godly men who served. But there are also millions of hidden women whose faithful work for the kingdom was never been seen. Single women who served in obscurity, mothers who raised generations of Christians, who poured into them the Gospel from infancy. We don't know what they did, but God knows. This account, this woman, this widow with the two copper coins is like the prime witness in my whole account here that there's going to be great reversals and surprises on Judgment Day and that God honors the secret works of obscure servants including women. In the book that I wrote on heaven, The Glory Now Revealed, I focused on this woman and two copper coins. By the way, that's why I couldn't go with that commentator and his observance saying that she was no good example. I was already in print, so I couldn't back out of it. So I'm going to stick with it, but I really do, I think if you read this paragraph, I think you get commendation by Jesus, not criticism. She's the prime witness in that chapter on obscure heroes and obscure movements in history that'll be revealed on Judgment Day. But it wasn't just her or just women, there were a lot of people. My favorite obscure missionary hero that I learned about as I was working on that book was a man named James Gilmour. He was a missionary to Mongolia in the 1870s. I've carefully studied the history of missions, and I'd never heard of this guy. He labored in the most severe climate imaginable, with temperatures dropping to as low as 40 degrees below zero. He survived on handfuls of millet, trekked over 300 miles a week, over 40 miles a day to reach people in the remotest places on planet earth. He struggled with extreme loneliness. He struggled with a constant sense of total failure to his mission. Why do I say that? The Mongolians that he was reaching were not hostile to him. They were generally hospitable, they were amicable, but they just weren't interested in the Gospel. They believed in their Buddhism and their spirituality. They were fine with how they were. Though they tolerated him ministering and they didn't overtly persecute him, they had no interest in what he was saying. He recorded over 24,000 gospel presentations and only three conversions. I have never read in all the church history of anyone that was so faithful with so little return on his investment. Think about that, I mean, it's probably why you haven't heard of him. If he had saved 10% of the people, It's like, "Great missionary leader." He was a great missionary leader, but just not in the ordinary way. He was faithful. What would it be like for you? Imagine your personality. Imagine you in that place and you have shared with 3,000 people and none of them have come to Christ. You're going to share with another 3,000, still no one. What kind of perseverance does it take to keep going when you get so little return? Of those 24,000, for all we know, a larger percentage of them will actually be in heaven. You know how it says, "I planted the seed, Apollos watered, but God made it grow." Sometimes seeds are planted and you never know what happened to it. But James Gilmour is that kind of an individual. He reminds me of the heroes in Hebrews 11. They went about in sheepskins, in goatskins, destitute, persecuted, mistreated, the world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains and in caves, in holes, in the ground. That was James Gilmour. As I finish, I was thinking recently about a movie I watched, a powerful movie called A Hidden Life. It was about a farmer who lived a simple life with his wife and daughters in the Austrian Alps during World War II. His name was Franz Jägerstätter, and he would've been completely obscure had he not been one of the rare men who stood up to Adolf Hitler. He was a conscientious objector who was willing to serve in the army, but not to take the vow of personal obedience to Hitler that every soldier had to take. He would not do it, and because of that, he was severely punished and even martyred by the Nazis. The movie's called A Hidden Life, and it comes from a quote by a female author named George Eliot who wrote a book called Middlemarch, and this is the quote, "... for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might've been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life and rest in unvisited tombs." That's most of us. Within three generations if the Lord doesn't return, people will not visit your tomb. They will not know much about you. All of your works will be forgotten by everyone alive on planet Earth, but Jesus will never forget. The call for me at this end of Mark 12 is to live a life of faithful obedience to the commands of God, to trust in Christ as our Lord and Savior because without that, you can't store up any good works, only wrath, but to trust in Him and then to live a quiet and a hidden life that God will reward on Judgment Day. Close with me in prayer. Father, we thank you for this incredible account of this woman. We thank you Lord Jesus that you were there to see it and to comment on it and to celebrate it. And Lord, I pray that we would be faithful, that we'd be willing to live a hidden life that's not hidden to you, a life that is obscure to the hustle and bustle of the world age, but not obscure to you, a life that you'll reward on Judgment Day faithfully, not missing anything that we do by faith in service to you. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Freedom is not a burden—it is a great GIFT from God that enables us to love Him and love our neighbor. However, it comes with a great responsibility. Soon after the coming of the Holy Spirit in Pentecost, St. Paul—actually called “Saul” at the time—consented to St. Stephen's execution (Acts 8:1). While others threw the stones, he held their cloaks—giving his internal consent. In this episode we address the responsibility and imputability of deliberately chosen acts, even the interior ones, and the value of human freedom. We also talk about how Christ's grace can free us from slavery to sin. I share some great biblical examples and also a story about my personal experience. - You can find the topics discussed in this episode in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, numbers 1730-1748. - Short bio on Bl.

One of the fundamental pillars of the Christian moral life is our human freedom. Freedom is a gift of God given to us in order to choose freely what is good, what is according to the will of God. That gives us our dignity and our responsibility. I share the story of Blessed Franz Jägerstätter, and Austrian farmer who died a martyr under the Nazi government during the Second World War for not wanting to enlist in the German army.

We're back again. Again. However many breaks we've taken, whatever. Enjoy it while it lasts folks because goodness knows how long or when the next hiatus will be. Regardless, in this episode we're talking about the true story of Bl. Franz Jägerstätter as portrayed in the film "A Hidden Life."

Affiliate of the ever trustworthy Hayes Collective, as well as the SYXT connection, Stockholm operator Franz Jäger steps in our weekly mix series with two hours of utterly cinematic techno for the heads. Busting the invisible frontier between floor-focussed functionality and inward-gazing meanderings, the Swedish producer has us abseiling down a much fascinating decorum of mazy architectures and suffocating ambiences. Behind a curtain of iron-hard austerity and industrial-informed punch, a luxuriant jungle of minutely crafted sound design reveals itself, mysterious and enveloping as it gets. Make yourself at home, for Jäger certainly knows how to treat his guests with bespoke care and distinction. 

Blessed Franz Jägerstätter was an Austrian conscientious objector during WWII. He was imprisoned and eventually executed for refusing to fight for the Nazis or swear an oath of allegiance to Hitler. In 2007 he was officially declared a martyr by Pope Benedict XVI and was later beatified. His story has inspired many who have been pressured to behave in a manner contradictory to their faith.

Leitura bíblica do dia: Daniel 6:10-23 Plano de leitura anual: Salmos 23–25; Atos 21:18-40; Franz Jägerstätter foi recrutado durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Ele completou o treino militar básico, mas recusou-se a assumir o juramento de lealdade ao regime. Jägerstätter foi autorizado a regressar à sua fazenda, mas depois o convocaram novamente. Ao observar a ideologia e o genocídio judeu, ele decidiu que a sua lealdade a Deus não permitiria que lutasse a favor do seu exército. Foi detido e condenado à execução, deixando para trás a sua esposa e três filhas. Muitos cristãos, sob perigo de morte, recusaram-se a cumprir ordens para que desobedecessem a Deus. Daniel foi um deles. Quando um édito real ameaçou que quem “orasse a alguém, divino ou humano, exceto ao rei” (Daniel 6:12) seria lançado na cova dos leões, o jovem descartou sua segurança e permaneceu fiel. “Como de costume […]. Orava três vezes por dia e dava graças a seu Deus” (v.10). O profeta ajoelhava-se perante Deus, e somente Deus, independentemente do custo. Por vezes, a nossa escolha é clara. Embora todos à nossa volta nos implorem que sigamos a opinião dominante, ainda que a nossa reputação ou bem-estar possa estar em risco, que nunca desistamos de obedecer a Deus. Tantas vezes, mesmo com enorme custo, tudo o que podemos oferecer é uma recusa firme. Por:  Winn Collier

Do you wake up busy? Dr. Tom Curran talks about why to prioritize prayer. Tom shares quotes from St. John of the Cross, insights about Bl. Franz Jägerstätter and many Sacred Heart of Jesus prayers.

The Nazis decapitated Bl. Franz Jägerstätter for refusing to take the oath to Hitler. In hindsight, everyone can recognize his bravery and integrity. At the time, no one could. Jacob Imam and Reuben Slife are convinced most of us would have caved. See how Bl. Franz didn't.

Fr Maximos is Professor of Patristics and Orthodox Spirituality. A summa cum laude graduate of Holy Cross (1987), he completed his PhD in Patristics and Historical Theology at the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. (1993), after which he taught at Hellenic College and Holy Cross (1993-1998). In the fall of 1998, he was invited to join the faculty of Harvard Divinity School, where he was Professor of Patristics and Orthodox Theology from 1998-2004. Responding to a life-long calling to the monastic life, he resigned his position at Harvard and was tonsured a great-schema monk at the Holy Monastery of Simonopetra, where he lived from 2004-2011. He was subsequently invited by Archbishop Demetrios to return to Holy Cross, where he has been an outstanding teacher, rigorous academic mentor, and prolific scholar. His publications include five books, more than fifty articles (many of them of monograph-length), and a dozen translated volumes. His current research project is a first-ever critical edition and English translation of the Life of the Virgin by the tenth-century Byzantine writer John Geometres.Fr. Maximos teaches courses on the theology of the Church Fathers, including St Basil the Great, St Gregory the Theologian, St Dionysius the Areopagite, St Symeon the New Theologian, and especially St Maximos the Confessor, on whom he is an internationally recognized specialist. His research interests focus on the Patristic and Byzantine interpretation of Scripture, the Philokalia and Orthodox spirituality, the study of Byzantine manuscripts, and the theological study of Byzantine art, icons, and iconography. Fr Maximos' interest in the arts began with a program of study at the School of Visual Arts in New York City (1979-1980), and he currently works as a consultant for American filmmaker Terrence Malick, including work on Malick's most recent film, A Hidden Life, which is based on the real-life story of Franz Jägerstätter, an Austrian conscientious objector during World War II, who was sentenced to death and executed. He was later declared a martyr and beatified by the Roman Catholic Church.Fr Maximos has twice held fellowships at Dumbarton Oaks, Harvard University's Center for Byzantine Studies in Washington, D.C. (1992-1993, 2000-2002); he was the Inaugural James Rubin Visiting Professor of Patristic and Byzantine Studies at Hebrew University, Jerusalem (1991-1992); and a Visiting Professor of Patristics and Byzantine Literature and Consultant to the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae (UCLA, Irvine, 2001). In 2003, he was invited to teach Orthodox Theology at the École Pratique des Hautes Études in Paris; and in 2016, he served as a Visiting Professor of Byzantine Literature at Harvard University's Department of the Classics (2016). He is a member of numerous international theological societies, and serves on multiple editorial boards, including Analogia: A Journal of Theological Dialogue; and Harvard University's prestigious Dumbarton Oaks Medieval Library series.

It's said that words instruct, but examples inspire us to follow. Do we not want to see Christians who, in the midst of all the darkness, are still able to stand above it all in clarity, calmness, and confidence, who, in the midst of all the lack of peace and joy, the egoism and hate, still stand there in the purest peace and cheerfulness? ----Franz Jägerstätter --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hucklefather/support

Seit mehr als 70 Tagen verfolgen uns die Kriegsbilder aus der Ukraine. „Krieg“ ist in Europa wieder bittere Realität, ein Thema, mit dem wir uns auseinandersetzen müssen. Waffen liefern, oder nicht? Wenn ja, welche? Wie kann es wieder Frieden geben? Franz Jägerstätter lebte Ende des 2. Weltkrieges im oberösterreichischen St. Radegund. Er folgte seinem Gewissen, verweigerte den Kriegsdienst und bezahlte dafür mit seinem Leben. Zwei Veranstaltungen in Burghausen erinnern an ihn, wie Armin Berger berichtet.

https://www.ignatius.com/Not-Forgotten-P3788.aspx The world is full of interesting people, and it has been George Weigel's good fortune to have known many such personalities in a variety of fields: politics, religion, the arts and sciences, journalism, the academy, entertainment, and sports. In this collection of reminiscences and elegies, the best-selling author of the definitive biography of Pope Saint John Paul II remembers these men and women from inside the convictions that formed them. Whether he is sketching the lives of Nobel Prize–winning scientists, major league baseball managers, princes of the Church, television personalities, or history-making political leaders, Weigel tries to understand, and help readers understand, the deep truths of the human condition illuminated by each of these not-forgotten lives. Written with verve, insight, and an appreciation for the consequential lives that have touched his own, Not Forgotten fills out the autobiographical portrait that George Weigel began painting in Lessons in Hope: My Unexpected Life with Saint John Paul II, while offering a backstage view of some of the men and women who have shaped the turbulent history of our times. The 60 intriguing lives that he writes about are a wide diversity of unique characters and personalities, including Albert Einstein, William F. Buckley, Flannery O'Connor, Franz Jägerstätter, John Paul II, Jackie Robinson, Charles Krauthammer, Sophie Scholl, Henry Hyde, James Schall, S.J., Dietrich Von Hildebrand, Charles Colson, Fr Richard J. Neuhaus and many more.

A substantial part of Terrence Malick's latest movie “A Hidden Life” takes place in a German prison where the film's protagonist, a real historical figure now considered a Catholic saint, Franz Jägerstätter, is being held in prison for refusing to swear a loyalty oath to Hitler. As he mills about the prison courtyard with his fellow inmates, two words loom large on the stone wall that fences them in: “Sprechen Verboten.” Speaking prohibited. Rod Dreher, senior editor at the American Conservative, has called “A Hidden Life,” “the best evocation of the gospel ever put to film.” That's a serious claim to make. And I might agree. Malick, a director known for transportive cinematography, takes viewers into the remote Austrian village of St. Radegund in the early 1940s. There, Franz, his wife Fani, and their three small daughters, faithfully farm their land and faithfully attend the local Catholic Church. When Franz hears about Hitler's conquest, he begins to worry. His worst fears are realized when he's called up for military service but refuses to swear the required oath to the Führer. Ultimately, Franz Jägerstätter was imprisoned, tortured, and ultimately, executed. Not only does the film powerfully portray the suffering Franz is forced to endure, but how his decision to refuse the oath baffles nearly everyone else around him. Apparently, it's a decision that still baffles people today, especially the film critics. For example, in a review for Rolling Stone, Peter Travers faults Malick for giving audiences, quote, “very little to help us understand the man behind the saint” and next to nothing about “the thought process that helped Franz hold steadfast.” Apparently for Travers, devout Christian faith is “very little.” In reality, by portraying Franz's devout Christian faith so clearly, Malick has told audiences all we need to know. Before his imprisonment, Franz seeks counsel from his local priest and eventually the bishop. Both warn what his obstinance might bring to bear on his vulnerable family. Even so, he holds fast to his faith, and his wife holds fast to hers. Given the central role faith plays in the film, one might expect it to be a bit more preachy. In fact, there's very little dialogue, preaching or otherwise, in the whole three-hour film. While we hear the words of faith in Franz's letters to Fani and in Fani's prayers for Franz, it's almost as if the sign on the prison wall, “speaking prohibited,” is the film's central theme. Thus, in this film, the gospel's power and Franz's faith is mostly shown, not spoken. Perhaps that's why certain secular critics missed the obvious. Franz doesn't give a theological lecture on the historicity of the resurrection or virtue signal via rousing testimony about his own moral courage. His is a quiet faithfulness, first shown by how he works his farm, trusting God for harvest, and eventually shown as he follows his conscience, which for some reason, just won't allow him to say the words of the oath that's required. Franz faces every temptation to compromise. His neighbors and family even appeal to his own values in attempting to change his mind. Isn't he being prideful or judgmental by refusing to swear the oath? Doesn't he have a duty to his family? And, of course, there's the temptation to be “practical.” What if, Franz's lawyer asks him, he could serve as a medic? What if he didn't have to carry arms? Would that solve the problem? Franz's final answer is finally put into words, in a powerful scene in which a Nazi officer - not unlike Pontius Pilate questioning Jesus - asks why he's doing this. Franz's answer: “I don't know. I just know that something inside of me tells me I can't swear that oath.” This is the Christian life. Everyday faithfulness to what the Holy Spirit is asking of us. Will his defiance change the course of the war? Will it bring down Hitler? Probably not. Will it endanger him and his family? Definitely yes. But God doesn't call us to results; those are always and everywhere His. He calls us to obedience - even if it's hidden. I cannot say that Franz's decision is prescriptive for everyone else. The key is that Franz must follow God's call on his own life. In an early scene, Franz tells a frightened fellow inmate to “trust what you knew in better times.” If we, like Franz, build a solid foundation for faith in better times, we will have the ears to hear what God would have us do in the midst of our trials. This film will give you lots to think and talk about it. Please know it contains some violence, and its subject matter is obviously intense. But I recommend it heartily.

[This review contains SPOILERS for the film that tells the story of the Austrian hero Franz Jägerstätter who died during World War II.]A Hidden Life, the three-hour film by acclaimed director Terrence Malick is based on the true life story of an Austrian farmer living in the final years of World War II. In it we see the main character, Franz Jägerstätter, a farmer and family man living a modest life in the mountains of Austria, knock again and again at the door of martyrdom. Malick's latest film shows us the steep price of Franz's devout Christian faith and his faithfulness to the end of his life taken by Hitler's Nazi regime. The film shows Jägerstätter's journey to martyrdom as he pays the ultimate price for his deeply held conviction that Hitler's world view and the war was immoral and was in opposition to his Christian faith.This Postmodern Realities episode is a conversation with Journal author Philip Tallon about his online-exclusive movie review, “The Marathon of Martyrdom: A Review of A Hidden Life”. https://www.equip.org/article/the-marathon-of-martyrdom-a-review-of-a-hidden-life/We'd also like to invite you to subscribe to the Journal.
