"The church is always at its most daring and risking and dangerous and free when it sings a new song. Because then it sings that the power of the gospel will not let the world finally stay as it is." –Walter Brueggemann Psalm 40:1-8 Philippians 1:27-30 "Above all, you must live as citizens of heaven, conducting yourselves in a manner worthy of the Good News (gospel, εύαγγέλιον) about Christ." Philippians 2:1-11 Philippians 2:6 NRSV 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited, What would exploiting equality with God look like? Philippians 2:7 NRSV Philippians 2:8 NRSV What is Christ willing to do to convey the love of God to humanity? Philippians 2:9-11 Philippians 2:9-11 NRSV Philippians 2:12-13 12 Dear friends, you always followed my instructions when I was with you. And now that I am away, it is even more important. Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear. 13 For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him. Philippians 2:12-13 NRSV 12 Therefore, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed me, not only in my presence, but much more now in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; 13 for it is God who is at work in you, enabling you both to will and to work for his good pleasure. This is our call to action. "...work out your own salvation with fear and trembling..." Know for whom you stand. Take this seriously. Here are all the facts, now you have to do the next part. Verse 5- You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. Paul gives us the Christ hymn, and then says, "Go work it out." Salvation- God is the force that makes for salvation. Salvation- How do you ensure that your soul is going to end up in heaven? This can send us down a dangerous path in this passage. We are in Christ. What does it mean to be fully in Christ? I think Paul here is equating being fully in Christ as being salvation. If you are fully in Christ in this world or in the age to come- that is salvation. What does it mean to be fully in Christ? This passage is also communal. What does it mean for you, the church in Gardendale, to be fully in Christ? How do I live fully in Christ and fully in a Christian community? Paul just gave us the answer. You don't have to do this by yourself, the Spirit is with you, but you have to do the work.

James walks Haley through the highs and lows of Kairos Kafe in Gardendale, and it's ultimate failure… From the highest of highs to the lowest of lows… He compared the experience to his Prison Sentence because the emotions were very similar… This fail was public and humiliating, but James explains to Haley through this process he was stripped of any arrogance and pride,  which is where we all want to be if we want to live a life of significance. Please Support our Sponsors.

James realizes his business has hit a wall… to keep growing, he would have to add a second location. In a Facebook post on the Kairos Kafe Page, he asked “If Kairos were to open a 2nd location, should we go North, South, East, or West of Birmingham?” The post exploded, and the stats increased 948% in favor of one location… Gardendale. The Birmingham News published a front page article on the idea, The Mayor of Gardendale publicly invited James to tour the city, and the people went crazy about the idea… the road to opening day was rocky, and the business was booming! James recounts one of the best team members he ever recruited, a fiery redhead named Denise Nolen, and settled in to a small house off of Pecan Avenue. He felt like he'd come full circle to his Southern Roots, and fell in love with the City of Gardendale and the people… A few weeks later, he approached his Manager at the cashier stand, and asked where the nearest Kinko's was because he had to fax some documents to his bank… When she informed him that the area didn't have a Kinko's, the young woman checking out spoke up “You can use the fax machine at my office! It's just two blocks down the road.” He hesitated, then decided to accept Haley Ann Hobart's offer… and the rest is yet to come… actually, the BEST is yet to come. Stay tuned…Support our Sponsors.

In today's News: Lutherans help tornado victims  Late Monday, a devastating tornado went through Fultondale, Alabama, leaving a path of destruction through the town that has killed and injured residents as well as destroyed homes, schools and businesses. This tornado was located just a few miles from Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Gardendale, where Pastor Ed Brashier, Southern District Disaster Response Coordinator, serves. Kathy O'Day, Lutheran Church Charities (LCC) director of Disaster Response, spoke to Brashier, who has been checking on congregation members and will be assessing damage in Fultondale as soon as first responders say it is safe to do so. He and his L.E.R.T. team began work early Tuesday morning helping a congregation member remove a tree from the roof of their home. LCC L.E.R.T. chainsaw teams are on standby to deploy and assist if requested.  Concordia Texas welcomes nursing students  At a time when the demand for nurses in central Texas is surging, Concordia University Texas has welcomed 288 new students so far this year to its traditional and accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing programs. But they didn’t report to main campus as usual. In August 2020, under many COVID constraints, the university opened the doors to its Austin Nursing Satellite Campus. The new, interactive learning environment spans 17,000 square feet, complete with a cutting-edge simulation lab, a 10-bed clinical skills lab and simulation debriefing rooms. The building also houses a student lounge and administrative and faculty offices. Rooted in the university’s Christian values, the nursing program features an accredited and rigorous curriculum delivered utilizing an interactive e-learning platform, along with hands-on skills training and clinical rotations at the area’s top hospitals.  Illinois insurance guidelines investigated  The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights has informed the Thomas More Society that it is investigating whether Illinois has violated federal law by promulgating and enforcing the Illinois Reproductive Health Act, which generally requires Illinois health insurance plans to cover abortion. A Jan. 19, 2021, letter to the Thomas More Society from Luis Perez, deputy director of the Conscience and Religious Freedom Division of the Office for Civil Rights, states that the Office for Civil rights has reviewed the Thomas More Society’s October 2019 complaint and is investigating whether the state of Illinois, which receives various funds from the Department of Health and Human Services, complies with the federal Weldon Amendment. Specifically, the Office for Civil Rights is investigating whether Illinois, through its Department of Insurance and Department of Central Management Services, is discriminating against health plan issuers and plans that would offer health coverage that limited or excluded abortion coverage but are prohibited from doing so by the Reproductive Health Act.  Connecticut legislature considers euthanasia bill  An assisted suicide bill being considered in Connecticut faces opposition from disability rights activists over what they contend is a lack of safeguards against the abuse of vulnerable populations, such as the elderly or the disabled. The legislature in the Nutmeg State is considering a bill that would allow physicians to provide lethal prescriptions to terminally sick adult patients who want to end their lives.

Do you remember what your school lunch was like…. ? Today, School Lunches have become incredibly political! In late 2018, the United States Department of Agriculture, under the direction of President Donald Trump, finalized plans to roll back regulations set forth in the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 that were advocated for by then-First Lady Michelle Obama. Specifically, the rollback lowered nutrition standards for whole grains, flavored beverages and the sodium content of lunches served in school cafeterias. There's a school lunch defect happening in New Jersey and in 2016, a public school in Gardendale, Alabama stamped the words "I Need Lunch Money" on a child's arm because of an unpaid bill. Our guest, Dr. Francine Kaufman was recognized from the California state senate for her work in banning soda in Los Angeles public schools. She joins us to talk about why school lunches suck and all the political drama happening as kids go back to school! Dr. Francine Ratner Kaufman is an American endocrinologist, professor, author, researcher, consultant, and corporate officer in the medical field of diabetes mellitus.

Should you or your kids register for the draft or dodge the draft? Find out what the implications are. News with stories on kids needing licenses to mow, 900 kids being illegally searched, Ross Ulbricht, and jury nullification, and an Ancap Apps segment on Swarm City. This episode is brought to you by Praxis, where you can get a full-time job in nine months making $50,000 a year with no college degree. Also brought to you by Swarm City, a decentralized commerce meta-platform that allows people to participate in commerce without interference from a third party. WHAT'S RUSTLING MY JIMMIES In my formerly conservative days, I was proud to sign up for the draft through the selective service program. At the time, I didn't understand fully the implications of that decision. Looking back on it now, I wish I had more information on it. From a government that tells me I am not smart enough to use alcohol until I'm 21 years old, or that I'm never smart enough to use many other drugs, it is the height of hypocrisy for them to force an even more difficult decision like this on 18-year-old boys. And this is not just an intellectual exercise for me. I have two boys, 11 and 9, who, much sooner than I want, will be facing this exact decision. I want to prepare them for this decision much better than my parents prepared me, which was exactly zero preparation.  I have to start out with the caveat that I am not a lawyer and nothing you'll ever hear me say is legal advice.  The Draft is Slavery I'm a Free Man Resisting Slavery  The Center on Conscience and War WHAT'S IN THE NEWS In barriers to work news, Gardendale, Alabama is now requiring kids in the town to pay $110 to buy a business license if they want to make a few extra bucks over the summer mowing lawns. Teenagers have actually been threatened by officials and other lawn services to show their city-issued license before cutting a person's lawn for extra summer cash. In other state vs. kids news, in Worth County, Georgia, violated children and furious parents have just filed a massive lawsuit after the Worth County Sheriff's office conducted an illegal search of 900 students — in the name of the war on drugs. In big brother is always watching news, the FBI has illegally shared raw intelligence about Americans with unauthorized third parties and violated other constitutional privacy protections, according to newly declassified government documents. In Ross Ulbricht news, the Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit upheld the conviction and sentencing of Ross Ulbricht for life without parole based on crimes associated with launching and operating the Silk Road website, a site where people could buy and sell items anonymously, including illegal drugs. In low information jurors news, jurors in Mecosta County, Michigan, have convicted a man for telling potential jurors that they don't have to convict people. ANCAP APPS Do I have an interesting treat for you guys today! If you've been listening to me for a while, you know that I've talked about Arcade City quite a lot in the past, and not in a good way. I liked the original concept behind Arcade City, but I had massive issues with the implementation by Christopher David. My first Ancap Apps segment on Arcade City was way back in March of last year where I was talking about the very beginnings of the great idea and how excited I was for it. You can listen to that episode at thelavaflow.com/33. Then, in September of last year, when things started looking bad for the implementation of Arcade City, I did a Jimmies called The Gamification of Arcade City. You can get to that one by going to thelavaflow.com/45. I followed that one up in November with Arcade City 2.0 where I talked about the huge changes in Arcade City when Christopher David stepped down and left the operations of Arcade City to the development team that became involved in the project. You can get that one at thelavaflow.com/50. Finally, I did a spurt episode called Arcade City vs. Swarm City Hard Fork, where the dev team went even further to distance themselves from Chris by changing the brand completely to Swarm City. That one is at thelavaflow.com/tls28.  I haven't talked much about them since, but I've been watching closely, and I've been very pleased with what I've seen. So pleased, even, that I spend some money and purchased some Swarm City tokens, the same tokens that were once called Arcade City tokens that I told everyone to stay the hell away from. And, the newest advertiser for this show is Swarm City! This is how much things have changed. And, today, I have an interview with Matt Carano, a musician, voluntaryist, entrepreneur, marketer, and organizer who is currently running a communications hive in Swarm City. Matt is also a personal friend of mine and a co-host with me on the Freecoast Freecast podcast. You can follow Matt on Twitter @matthewcarano. I want to thank Matt for coming on and I want to thank Swarm City for being a sponsor of The LAVA Flow! You can follow Swarm City on Twitter @SwarmCityDApp. To get involved please find Swarm City on Slack at https://swarm-slack-invite.herokuapp.com. Yes, that address is a pain in the ass, so you can also get to it by going to thelavaflow.com/swarmcity. 

In this episode we cover Daniel 2 with Jordan Ware, Youth & Family Minister at the Decatur Highway Church of Christ in Gardendale, AL.
