Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Competing moral systems clash, redefining good and evil in irreconcilable ways. Judeo-Christian values, Progressivism, Islam, and Nazism each demand loyalty to their vision, fracturing the West. Political violence escalates as assassination and destruction gain justification. Civilization stands on edge as societies battle over whose definition of evil prevails and which framework survives...
Joe breaks down the “Islamic Dilemma,” a catch 22 where the Quran says to obey the Gospel and the Torah, but also contradicts both of these books on several major theological and historical points. Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer, and as you probably know, Muslims believe the Quran is divinely revealed scripture and non-Muslims don’t believe this. So how can we know and show which side is right? Well, there’s a simple argument called the Islamic dilemma that seems to settle the question once and for all. It doesn’t prove...
We spend years working on our careers, chasing promotions, saving for homes, building comfort for our families. From the outside, it looks like growth. But in the sight of Allah, what's our real balance sheet? At every Janazah, we feel it for a moment: watching someone lowered into the grave and thinking, “One day that'll be me.” Yet within hours, we're back to the grind. Back to chasing the same wealth and routines that won't follow us past the soil. The Prophet ﷺ told us that three things accompany every person to the grave: family, wealth, and deeds. But only one remains. The other two - the very things we obsess over - abandon us the moment we need them most. So what are you really investing in? Your children and wealth, which stay behind? Or your deeds, which remain with you forever? In this reminder, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan unpacks the Akhirah investment strategy every believer needs to hear: - Why Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه became the greatest in just 30 years - not through more worship, but through the state of his heart. - Why Hassan al-Basri warned that time with family and wealth is devastatingly short. - What it means to own two houses - the one you obsess over now, and the one you'll live in forever. - And what really decides whether your grave becomes a garden of Jannah or a pit of Fire. This isn't about Dunya's net worth. It's about the only net worth that matters. The one revealed when you're lowered into the ground. What are you leaving behind?

You're crushing it at work or uni, but can't stop looking at what you shouldn't when you're alone. You give charity publicly but backbite privately. You know the names of all the Premier League players, but "not much" about the scholars of Ahlus Sunnah. Your parents think you're the perfect Muslim child while you're drowning in guilt cycles you can't break. Religious enough to feel shame, worldly enough to keep sinning. Don't you think it's time to change? Watch Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan break down this forgotten treatise by Ibn Taymiyyah's student Ibn al-Habbal - battle-tested advice from someone who survived real consequences. He explains how to protect your heart and your time, the only two things that actually matter. How to stop trying to please everyone and focus on pleasing Allah alone. The brutal reminder: You're ageing but your sins aren't decreasing. Every breath is documented. You'll answer for every moment you had health, free time, and youth. What's your response going to be? Learn what's destroying Muslims today that's worse than private sins - the same extremism that ruined past nations. Going overboard with righteous people, and drifting towards shirk by asking dead saints for help instead of making dua directly to Allah.

In this series Dr. Mufti Abdur-Rahman covers the book titled, 'Essentials of Islamic Spirituality' previously known as 'The Path to Perfection'. Link to book: https://www.whitethreadpress.com/publication/essentials-of-islamic-spirituality/ At a time when the discourse surrounding Islam is generally inauthentic and shallow, The Essentials of Islamic Spirituality presents a much-needed antidote. It goes beyond simply diagnosing the spiritual ailments that afflict us; it puts forward means of eradicating them, so that we as individuals, as communities, and as an Umma can reap the benefits of a spiritual way of life. White Thread Press makes this invaluable work available in elegant and moving prose, while remaining true to its traditional origins. The result, a profound awakening of the heart, is within the reach of all. Those new to the spiritual sciences will delight in the range and profundity of the psychological and spiritual disciplines of Islam, while those already on the Path will gain new insights and perspectives. Shaykh Masihullah Khan, a renowned student of the eminent Mawlana Ashraf ‘Ali Thanawi, wrote Shari'at & Tasawwuf to pass on to future generations of Muslims the numerous benefits of his teacher's wisdom. The teachings gathered here are notes of admonition and encouragement written by a man who has walked the path to his Creator; and at their core, these teachings are sustenance for the ailing hearts and souls of our time.

Stigall explores why it seems the threat of a government "shutdown" doesn't seem to have the teeth it once had. President Trump surges troops into Portland, Oregon. What happened this weekend and the Ryder Cup? Bill Maher, John Fetterman, and Charlamagne THA God offer some distinctly different commentary from the Democrat friends on everything from Trump, to Islam, and Jimmy Kimmel. As you hear the pundits decry the "unprecedented" nature of the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey, Stigall thinks it's important to remind you of a few things some willfully "forget" about the history of a weaponized DOJ. And if you haven't heard, you will not believe what's going on in the Des Moines school district with their superintendent. -For more info visit the official website: https://chrisstigall.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisstigallshow/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisStigallFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.stigall/Listen on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/StigallPodListen on Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/StigallShowSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Gary discusses celebrities like Rosie O'Donnell, Robin Wright, and Ryan Gosling who have decided to move away from the United States for political reasons. Gary points out that not only are these people multimillionaires and able to do such things, what they are really doing is what is best for them, not for the underrepresented people that they claim to care about.
Polish politician Dominik Tarczyński sits down with Andrew Gold on Heretics to explain why Poland has taken such a hard stance on immigration, Islamism, and the protection of European culture. Known around the world for his famous declaration that Poland would not accept “even one illegal migrant,” Tarczyński opens up about why he's turning his attention to Britain, what lessons the UK can learn from Poland, and how he sees the future of Europe unfolding.

Follow Dominic Tarczyński: https://x.com/D_Tarczynskiv From his encounters with Tommy Robinson to his controversial views on radical Islam, refugees, and European identity, Tarczyński argues that Poland's zero-tolerance immigration policy has kept the nation secure and culturally cohesive. He discusses the meaning of terms like “racist,” “far-right,” and “invasion,” while insisting he is targeting jihadists rather than Islam as a faith. This explosive conversation dives into whether Poland could “save Europe,” what's really happening at Europe's borders, and why countries like Sweden are already lost.

When Shakespeare wrote Othello, he set his Moorish general against the “general enemy Ottoman.” Elsewhere in his plays, he invoked “Turks,” “Saracens,” and “infidels”—terms that reveal just how present the Islamic world was in the English imagination. From Elizabeth I's diplomatic exchanges with Persia to the cultural impact of the Ottoman Empire, the Islamic world loomed large in the politics, religion, and drama of Shakespeare's England.This week, we're joined by Dr. Chloe Houston (University of Reading), a leading authority on Persia in early modern drama, and Dr. Mark Hutchings (University of Valladolid), whose research explores England's engagement with Islam on the Renaissance stage. Together, they unpack how Elizabethans understood the Ottomans, Persians, and North Africans, and how those encounters shaped both history and Shakespeare's works.Discover how global trade, diplomacy, stereotypes, and real-life ambassadors influenced depictions of Moors, Persians, and “Turks” onstage, and why Shakespeare's audiences would have found these references powerful, familiar, and sometimes unsettling.Listen now and explore the fascinating world of Elizabethan encounters with Islam in Shakespeare's plays.

In this episode of Crossing Faiths, John Pinna speaks with Joseph Dumond, an author and subject matter expert on biblical prophecy and the Jubilee calendar. Dumond explains his decades-long research into establishing a precise timeline for the end of days based on 120 Jubilee cycles of 49 years each. Using historical and archaeological evidence like the Assyrian siege of Jerusalem in 701 BC and ancient tombstones, he outlines a prophetic calendar that he believes pinpoints key events. He discusses how the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 marked a significant midpoint and interprets the October 7th attack on Israel as the "abomination" prophesied in Daniel. Dumond offers specific future dates for major prophetic fulfillments, including a significant event in July 2026, the start of the great tribulation in 2030, and the beginning of the Messianic age in 2045, arguing that these events align with biblical holy days and that the time for these prophecies is imminent.

This episode of our Resisting Empire series explores the life of Samory Touré, the 19th-century West African leader who built an empire across Guinea, Mali, Sierra Leone, Côte d'Ivoire, and Liberia. Known as the “Napoleon of Africa,” he modernised his armies, outmanoeuvred the French for over sixteen years, and used scorched-earth tactics to hold back European expansion. But Samory was more than a military strategist. He united diverse groups under Islam, pursued bold ambitions, and ruled with authoritarian discipline that left deep divides. Captured in 1898 and exiled to Gabon, his legacy remains complex — both celebrated as a symbol of resistance and remembered as a ruthless conqueror.

Sermon NotesI. IntroductionJoseph Campbell (not a Christian, but a student of mythology/religion) observed:“What we are looking for is a way of experiencing the world that will open to us the transcendent...”Human beings are incurably spiritual—we seek transcendence.Some through traditional religions (Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism, Islam).Others through mindfulness, energy work, nature, etc.Two key points:Affirm the desire for transcendence—it is real and God-given.Learn to discern authentic transcendence from false or self-referential spirituality.II. The Text: Exodus 2:23–3:12Context: Moses in Midian, tending sheep near Horeb.Not seeking a spiritual encounter; God initiates it.Key Question: What can we learn about genuine transcendent encounters?Two themes: Person and Paradox.III. The PERSON Moses EncounteredThe Angel of the LORD (v. 2)More than just an angel → identified with God Himself.Possibly the pre-incarnate Christ (Word/Logos).Authentic TranscendenceEncounter with someone other than himself.Not self-discovery or inner potential—real personhood beyond Moses.God is personal, not impersonal force/energy.The Burning Bush SymbolismFire = light, warmth, purification, judgment.Bush not consumed → God is self-sustaining, absolute reality, source of all existence.Childlike question: “Who created God?” → answer: no one. He is the source.Authentic transcendence = encountering the self-existent God who draws near.IV. The PARADOX of God's PresenceGod Knows Moses by Name (v. 4)God is relational, loving, intimately aware of Moses' story.God's nature = love and relationship.But… God's Holiness Creates Distance (v. 5)“Do not come near; take off your sandals, for this is holy ground.”Holiness = God's otherness + moral purity.Human corruption (sin) incompatible with holiness.Illustration: fresh snow → pure → later becomes dirty slush.Result: God is both near and distant → paradox.Resolution of the ParadoxGod Himself provides the way for humans to approach.In Moses' case: humility (remove sandals).Later: OT sacrificial system.Ultimately: Jesus Christ.His cross removes sin barrier.Makes access to God's holy presence possible.Application: Spirit is HOLY; without Christ we would be consumed, with Christ we receive Him with joy.V. ConclusionWe are spiritual beings with souls that crave transcendence.Not every spirituality satisfies—self-focused versions fall short.At the burning bush, Moses encountered:Absolute reality.A personal God.Holy presence made accessible by God's provision.Our souls find satisfaction only in the Triune God—Father, Son, Spirit.Call: Don't settle for less than the real.Discussion Questions:How would you define transcendence? Have you had any experiences in your life that you would describe as transcendent?If, as the sermon suggests, genuine spirituality is not self-referential (simply connecting with more of yourself), is deeper self-knowledge still important? If so, where is it found? Is there a connection between encountering the real God and discovering the real self? How so?Read Exodus 3:3-4. Do you believe it is significant that God did not call to Moses until he turned aside to see the strange sight? Do you think God would have still spoken to Moses if he had not turned aside? How might this speak to the lack of encounters with God that many experience today? As you reflect on that, consider Elizabeth Barrett Browning's poem:Earth's crammed with heaven,And every common bush afire with God,But only he who sees, takes off his shoes,The rest sit round it and pluck blackberries,And daub their natural faces unaware.Read Exodus 3:7-12. What was the ultimate purpose of Moses' encounter with God at the Burning Bush? What was God's purpose for revealing himself to Moses? Is there a link today between our personal encounters with God and a greater purpose like mission?Questions?Do you have a question about today's sermon? Email Randy Forrester ().

➡️ DESCRIPTION: Dans cette émission, Fred Bican et moi abordons un phénomène resurgent : le nationalisme chrétien. Si plusieurs se réjouissent d'un certain retour des valeurs chrétiennes dans l'espace public, il est crucial de discerner entre un véritable réveil spirituel et une récupération politique de la foi. Peut-on s'identifier comme chrétien sans être né de nouveau? Quels sont les dangers d'un christianisme réduit à une identité culturelle? Et en même temps, comment reconnaître les opportunités que Dieu peut saisir même à travers des mouvements imparfaits? Voilà quelques unes des questions que nous désirons aborder.
