Continued Conversation: Indiana's Public Media Stations to lose government funding by Cameron Ridle

Two weeks ago, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments on April 30, 2025, about whether Oklahoma can operate the nation's first faith-based charter school. If the Supreme Court decides their way, St. Isidore of Seville would be a virtual, K-12 school run by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Oklahoma City and the Diocese of Tulsa. We should note that a lot of conservatives are with St. Isidore. Alliance Defending Freedom's Jim Campbell was one of the attorneys arguing on behalf of the Oklahoma charter board and the school. Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt, a Republican supporter of St. Isidore, said the case “stands to be one of the most significant religious and education freedom decisions in our lifetime.” The conservative legal group Liberty Counsel filed an amicus brief in the case, also in favor of St. Isidore. But not everyone – even on the conservative and Christian side of the aisle — is so enthusiastic. David Dockery is the president of the International Alliance for Christian Education. He told MinistryWatch, “IACE does not have an official position on the St Isidore case since we do not have full agreement on this matter among those who serve on the Board.” Dan Burrell is a longtime Christian education leader. Today he serves as a pastor in Charlotte, N.C., and the chairman of the board of MinistryWatch. His experience includes a tenure as president of the Florida Association of Christian Colleges and Schools. He was also a faculty member at Liberty University's graduate school of education. Burrell said he was “pretty strongly opposed” to government-funded religious schools.

Open Forum: Pastor Amos shared his decision to decline an opportunity to run for City Council, explaining that the role would be a distraction from his God-given purpose. He introduced a four-part decision-making framework—critical, strategic, nice to have, and irrelevant—to help assess opportunities based on alignment with vision, which sparked meaningful discussion among participants. Stephanie raised concerns about accepting government funding for a documentary promoting godly marriage among Gen Z, and Pastor Amos encouraged her to evaluate whether such funding could compromise her message. Ark shared his improving financial situation and a new job offer, leading to a conversation about balancing financial needs and purpose in different life seasons. Stephanie also praised God for resolving her daughter's financial and legal issues through a series of divine interventions. Pastor Amos reflected on the stages of a man's life, from son to king to sage, emphasizing the importance of embracing each season and adjusting one's focus accordingly. The group also discussed the challenges of balancing work, family, and faith, and the importance of trusting God's timing and direction through every phase of life.   Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano explores the dark underbelly of the nonprofit world – a multi-billion-dollar taxpayer-funded racket where political elites funnel public money to so-called nonprofits that push a political agenda and are packed with cronies, former officials, and even their own family members. While the public believes nonprofits serve the vulnerable, the reality is far murkier. Professor Giordano breaks down how massive grants, like the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, are quietly handed to nonprofits enriching the politically connected and do little to serve the public good. Instead, they operate as ideological slush funds by distributing billions of tax dollars with little oversight, reward insiders, and advance partisan agendas, at the taxpayer's expense. This is the episode the government doesn't want you to hear. Episode Highlights: • Discover how nonprofits have evolved from serving the needy to becoming vehicles for political influence, activism, and partisan agendas. • Learn how billions in taxpayer dollars are being funneled to nonprofits with direct ties to political insiders, former officials, and family members of elected leaders. • Expose how your tax dollars are being weaponized as ideological slush funds to reward allies and advance left-wing priorities, with little oversight or accountability.

We speak with Dr. Kim Penberthy today who joined us from the University of Virginia. Kim wears many hats. She is a professor of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia School of Medicine. She is also a board certified clinical psychologist and conducts research, teaches, and provides clinical care at UVA in psychiatry and the cancer center. She also studies and researches after death communication. She lived on a farm in a house that witnessed Civil War strife, with her mother a nurse and her father a would-be farmer surgeon. Exposed to life and death on a farm, she began at an early age asking herself and her parents metaphysical questions – long before she became a clinician and research scientist. We hear about her life changing story at the beach and fascinating surgical table stories heard from her aging father. We learn about her pursuit in researching after death communications from those who lose loved ones and how this research may help develop more wholistic therapeutic approaches to grieving.   Timestamps: 00:00:00 Coming Up 00:01:21 Introduction 00:03:50 The Division of Perceptual Studies 00:07:45 Does Your "Soul" Exist After Death? 00:13:58 Asking "What is the purpose of life?" and "What happens after death?" 00:20:26 Seeing a Person that is Dead 00:26:01 Divine Interventions 00:32:11 After Death Communication 00:42:34 Living Mindfully Across the Lifespan 00:46:26 Government Funding for Near Death Experiences 00:57:12 Aftermath of NDE's and OBE's   Episodes to check out: Dr. Bruce Greyson (ep 69), Dr. Antonia Mills (ep 88) and Dr. Iya Whiteley (ep 185)   Kim, https://med.virginia.edu/perceptual-studies/dops-staff/kim-penberthy/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/j-kim-penberthy-79017824/ Book w Morgan: https://www.amazon.com/Living-Mindfully-Across-Lifespan-Intergenerational-ebook/dp/B08LXJFNST/ref=sr_1_1?crid=4A42NNAPUGA&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.3NWBIzpE1SZHjenYF1AtZg.fOCzcGTIApPhdVhuHyTPrOIvW9O8at0lMhi9-7Gch_o&dib_tag=se&keywords=kim+penberthy+Living+Mindfully+Across+the+Lifespan%3A+An+Intergenerational+Guide&qid=1740933711&sprefix=kim+penberthy+living+mindfully+across+the+lifespan+an+intergenerational+guide%2Caps%2C135&sr=8-1     For fun, story about Meat from the Sky: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kentucky_meat_shower   To give to the Behind Greatness podcast, please visit here: https://behindgreatness.org.

How is Trump's executive order redefining the language permissible in scientific research, and what does it mean for academic freedom? Today, we examine the complexities surrounding scientific research under shifting political landscapes with Ivan Oransky, a seasoned medical journalist and co-founder of Retraction Watch. Oransky discusses the implications of President Trump's executive orders and how it has sent ripples throughout the scientific community, causing researchers to reconsider their work amidst existential uncertainties. Oransky explores the nuanced relationship between government funding and scientific inquiry. This episode unpacks the historical precedents of government involvement in research, tracing back to the 1940s, and examines the mounting challenges faced by scientists under the recent policy changes. Oransky provides a critical analysis of how such directives potentially stifle open inquiry and drive talented researchers away, ultimately impacting the future landscape of scientific discovery. In This Episode:Implications of Trump's executive orders on scientific researchHistorical context of government funding in scientific researchThe impact of political climates on scientific inquiry and transparencyChallenges of anticipatory obedience within research communitiesIvan Oransky's insights on sustaining open and rigorous scientific dialogue About Ivan:Ivan Oransky, MD, is the co-founder of Retraction Watch, the Editor in Chief of The Transmitter, and a Distinguished Journalist in Residence at New York University's Carter Journalism Institute, where he teaches medical journalism.

Conservatives, Christian conservatives in particular, have always had a troubled and inconsistent relationship with the idea of government funding flowing to non-profits and other non-governmental organizations (NGOs). The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh.

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Steve Malzberg joins Professor Nick Giordano to expose how taxpayer dollars are flowing into media outlets like The New York Times and Politico through government subscriptions, which raises serious questions about conflicts of interest and state-sponsored media. They also break down the Democrat Party's continued missteps in handling President Trump and their inability to grasp why they remain so unpopular. As the Trump administration moves at a breakneck pace, the conversation delves into why so many critics take Trump literally rather than understanding the broader strategy behind his rhetoric. Don't miss this eye-opening discussion that cuts through the media spin. Episode Highlights: • How taxpayer-funded government subscriptions funnel money into major media outlets, creating a conflict of interest. • The Democrat reaction to Trump's return and why they seem to have learned nothing from past elections. • Why Trump's fast-moving administration keeps the political establishment off balance, and why so many misinterpret his words.

In this episode of Good Morning Liberty, hosts Nate Thurston and Charles 'Chuck' Thompson delve into a range of topics with a libertarian perspective. The discussion kicks off with reflections on the liberty of voting as libertarians, evolving into an analysis of the benefits of voting outside of major parties. The primary focus shifts to President Trump's recent announcement on Gaza. The hosts critique Trump's proposition of U.S. troops taking over, clearing, and rebuilding Gaza, and the idea's implications on both U.S. foreign policy and the Israel-Palestine conflict. They explore whether this could be a negotiation tactic or a genuine plan, and its deviation from Trump's 'America First' policy. The episode then dissects the controversy surrounding Politico receiving substantial government funding, questioning its impact on journalistic integrity and potential election interference. They also broach a satirical yet insightful discussion on the role of Israel as a U.S. ally. The episode follows with a critical commentary from Scott Horton on Trump's Middle East policies, reflecting on their broader implications. The hosts end by inviting listener feedback on the transactional nature of U.S.-Israel relations. Tune in for a thoughtful, and sometimes humorous, libertarian view on current events.
