What if Paul's vision of Christ reshaped Christianity in ways Jesus' own brother, James, never intended? In this episode, we explore the intense clash between Paul's Christ movement and the Jesus movement, led by James in Jerusalem, as they battled over the faith's direction. Paul's independent gospel, born from a divine encounter, drove him to spread his message to Gentile cities like Corinth, Ephesus, and Rome, outpacing the Jewish-focused Jesus movement. As the Jerusalem community waned after the city's fall in 70 AD, Paul's universal vision took root, defining the Christianity we know today. Join Nate and Shelby as they uncover these pivotal shifts, question Paul's authority, and ask: could the Jesus movement have changed history if it had prevailed?

After 16 years of grassroots efforts, local communities in northern Puerto Rico are celebrating the creation of a new marine protected area (MPA) - Jardines Submarinos de Vega Baja y Manatí. The newly-established MPA encompasses 202.7 km (77 square miles) of coastal coral reefs, mangroves, and seagrass beds home to more than 14 endangered species, including the Greater Caribbean Manatee. The area also hosts vibrant small-scale fisheries and a local ecotourism industry, and communities hope that new efforts to formally co-manage Jardines as an MPA will allow its waters to remain a source of food and income for local families for generations. "This is a victory for the people," said Ricardo Laureano, leading member of Vegabajeños Impulsando Desarrollo Ambiental Sustentable (VIDAS). "These ecosystems nourish us and sustain our quality of life. It took 16 years of hard work, starting in 2007, to get here. Over the years, we rallied neighbors, knocked on doors, and engaged local and national leaders to highlight the critical need to protect this Reserve." VIDAS community environmental collective was founded in 2006 in response to excessive and poorly planned coastal development, which displaces vulnerable and marginalized coastal communities (traditionally underserved communities). VIDAS serves as a link between the academy and entities that provide pro bono scientific, legal, and sociological advisory services. Since its foundation, it has carried out ecological reef rehabilitation work focused on the restoration of coral reefs with an educational component that covers everything from presentations to youth in local schools and communities to training volunteers in the disciplines of coral restoration and sustainable development. The conservation movement for Jardines was led by a coalition of several local groups spearheaded by VIDAS, including Puerto Rico Sea Grant, Sociedad de Ambiente Marino, Surfrider Puerto Rico, Para la Naturaleza, and supported by international partners like the Wildlife Conservation Society, WCS. The Jardines MPA represents a critical point of connectivity within the greater Caribbean. Since 2018, WCS has joined forces with the Caribbean Biological Corridor (CBC) - an intergovernmental platform that brings together the countries of the Greater Antilles - to advance and scale up marine conservation in the region. As part of this initiative, WCS supported local partners in Puerto Rico that worked with VIDAS to strengthen the Jardines MPA proposal and bring it across the finish line. "This milestone was achieved thanks to the unwavering efforts of a grassroots community coalition," said Pamela Castillo, WCS Marine 3030 Director. "WCS is honored to provide technical support that helps locally-led efforts like this one reach the national level, contributing to the successful designation of the Jardines MPA. We celebrate our partnership with the Caribbean Biological Corridor in advancing science-based, effective, and inclusive marine conservation, which brings us closer to the coalition of community groups in Puerto Rico, led by VIDAS." The next step will be the development of a co-management plan for the MPA. "Our dream is for Jardines to be co-managed by the people who know it best - the local communities," said Mariela Declet-Perez, leader of Descendants United for Nature, Adaptation, and Sustainability (DUNAS). "We aim to create co-management agreements that balance sustainable resource use, conservation, research, and eco-tourism. This will take time, but we are committed to supporting VIDAS and our local partners to ensure long-term success." As the coalition looks ahead, securing funding and scientific support for designing a participatory management process is crucial. A formal legal framework, co-management agreements with local agencies, and a recurring budget will be essential for the project's longevity. Local leaders view Jardines as a lifelong commitment, and they hope their success inspires ot...
Moms Demand Action is a grassroots movement advocating for stronger gun laws. Gina Pelusi is a volunteer with the Pennsylvania Chapter. She lost her mother to gun violence ten years ago. “It was a cold Thursday morning, and she answered a knock at the door in a manner that she did not know. When she opened the door, she just shot her. In broad daylight. And they rushed my mom to the hospital. They were not able to save her.” Pelusi was shocked, angry, and heartbroken by the passing of her mother. Later, she decided to turn her pain into advocacy for stronger gun laws. “I always knew that I wanted to do something with gun safety advocacy. I just didn't really know what and how. And it actually was after the election when Donald Trump was elected, the first time that I finally went and joined Moms Demand Action and went to a meeting. I had my first child and thinking about my mom, thinking about my son, eventually going off to school one day and all of those things. I was like, I need to find a way to use my voice and share my story and try and have this tragedy mean something.” Moms Demand Action also advocates for updated background checks and responsible gun storage. The organization also meets with lawmakers and other organizations to advocate for gun safety. “it's just it's so important. And I think secure storage shouldn't be something that is controversial. That shouldn't be a hard thing for us to talk about. I think most responsible gun owners that I know and then I've ever had a conversation with agree with that. So it's like sometimes I think we get to this place where everything feels so polarizing. This is not polarizing. This is just common sense. It is the gun owners responsibility to secure their firearm, period.”Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Henry Maar joins us to talk about his book Freeze, the Grassroots Movement to Halt the Arms Race and End the Cold War. Dr. Maar is considered the authority on how the Nuclear Freeze movement of the 1970s/80's began. He talks about those people and organizations that generated the Freeze Movement, their challenges, and successes. He also relates how this movement actually made politicians listen and act. Can we do it again, must we do it again to avoid today's threats of nuclear war? This is so important as we approach the VFP convention and plan our month of action for September. We finish with Phil Ochs.
In this episode, we explore the inspiring story of Tere Sheehan, CEO of Cherry Sports Group, and the creation of Purple Friday, a movement born out of a tragic domestic violence incident in Ballina. As the town was already struggling to recover from devastating floods, Tere's leadership and his team turned this dark moment into a powerful symbol of unity and resilience. Partnering with the Rotary Club of Ballina on Richmond, Purple Friday mobilised the community, with 91 local businesses, schools, and organisations donning purple shirts every Friday to boldly stand against domestic violence. This grassroots campaign, supported by a $30,000 investment from Cherry Sports Group, has sparked vital conversations, offered lifelines to those in need, and earned national recognition, including an invitation to Parliament House. Tune in to hear how a small town turned its darkest hour into a beacon of hope and how Tere Sheehan and Cherry Sports Group are committed to ensuring the message of Purple Friday continues to resonate far and wide.

Send me a messageHi everyone, Tom Raftery here, and welcome back to another episode of the Climate Confident podcast. This week, I had the pleasure of speaking with Dana R. Fisher, director of the Centre for Environment, Community, and Equity at American University and author of the new book, Saving Ourselves - From Climate Shocks to Climate Action.Dana brings 25 years of research on climate policymaking and activism to our conversation, providing valuable insights into the current state of the climate crisis. We delved into the evolution of climate policy, from the early days of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to the latest efforts like the Inflation Reduction Act in the United States. Dana offers a candid assessment of these policies, highlighting both successes and significant gaps.A major theme of our discussion is the crucial role of activism. Dana underscores that meaningful change often requires grassroots movements to hold policymakers accountable. We explored various forms of climate activism, from local community actions to more radical tactics like civil disobedience. Interestingly, Dana's research suggests that even controversial actions, such as throwing soup at paintings or blocking traffic, can effectively draw media attention and pressure policymakers when part of a broader strategy.We also touched on the importance of building community resilience. As climate shocks become more frequent and severe, Dana emphasises that local communities must prepare to support each other in times of crisis. This involves not only physical infrastructure but also fostering social cohesion.Towards the end of our conversation, Dana offers practical advice for anyone looking to get involved in climate activism, stressing the need for solidarity across movements and the potential impact of nonviolent resistance. We also discussed the upcoming COP 29 climate negotiations and the controversial involvement of a fossil fuel executive in leading these talks.I hope you find this episode as insightful and thought-provoking as I did.

In this episode of Passing Judgment, we delve into the intricacies of the MAGA movement with Isaac Arnsdorf, a national political reporter for The Washington Post. Isaac shares insights from his new book, "Finish What We Started: The MAGA Movement's Ground War to End Democracy," examining the evolution of MAGA from its roots in earlier American political ideologies to its transformation post-January 6th. Join us as Isaac explains the movement's shift towards more extreme elements and its strategy to infiltrate the Republican Party from the ground up, as well as discussing potential scenarios for future elections and the ongoing impact on American democracy.Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:1️⃣ Historical Continuity and Evolution: The MAGA ideology connects back to older political traditions in America, such as the non-interventionist "America First" ethos of the 1930s and the conservative backlash against the New Deal. This historical perspective helps explain the resurgence and transformation of these ideologies in today's political landscape.2️⃣ Transformation of the MAGA Movement Post-January 6th: Isaac elaborates on how the MAGA movement became more radicalized and inclusive of extreme right elements post-January 6th. This was driven by grassroots efforts rather than Trump himself, with significant influence from figures like Steve Bannon aiming to deeply integrate the movement within the Republican Party.3️⃣ Impact and Strategies for Future Elections: Arnsdorf expresses concerns about potential disruptions in future elections, noting preparations for legal strategies that could make elections contentious and the worrying prospect of political violence or disruptive actions at crucial electoral stages.Follow Our Host and Guest: @LevinsonJessica @Iarnsdorf

Just like America served as an example to the world in 1776, America again must be a beacon of hope showing their ability to reform themselves in line with the greater visions of their society.More importantly, we need an antiwar grassroots party and movement to counteract an ever increasingly dangerous world where war becomes more hazardous every day as nations are positioning themselves for a potential global conflict in line with what could only be characterized as a World War III. In all conflicts, it is the people especially the poor who are scapegoated and suffer. We must bear the torch to light the inner conscience of all Americans that says devastating conflicts that lead to massive destruction and death have no place in a progressive society. We have every means to debase all forms of tyranny whether they be totalitarian or that of a majority upon minority populations be they specific or religiously oriented. An globalized world requires an globalized conscious so Americans can understand in the words of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, "A threat to justice anywhere is a threat to justice here." I urge American citizens, as well as people around the world, to surge forth with an antiwar campaign, to break them out of the complacency that says we must merely drift along with the tides of conflict until they reach our shores. We can't afford to wait for the escalation of conflict to the point of no return. If I may quote one of the luminaries of the 21st century that have lighted the way for political responsibility for millions across the globe, "We are the change we seek."

Standing Together is a grassroots movement mobilizing Jewish and Palestinian citizens of Israel in pursuit of peace, equality, and social and climate justice. “While the minority who benefit from the status quo of occupation and economic inequality seek to keep us divided, we know that we — the majority — have far more in common than that which sets us apart.”In this episode, Yael Drier Shilo—one of the founding members and current financial director of Standing Together—shares how the grassroots movement led by Jewish and Palestinian citizens of Israel is standing for peace.

In this episode of the Recovery Matters Podcast, host Phil interviews Randy Anderson, a person living in long-term recovery since January 9, 2005. Randy is also a recovery coach and the founder of Bold North Recovery. The episode delves into Randy's journey from addiction to recovery, highlighting the significant role that law enforcement intervention played in his life. Randy shares a pivotal moment in his treatment when a counselor's challenging words ignited his determination to recover. Randy also discusses his advocacy work, particularly in the realm of drug sentencing reform. He emphasizes the racial disparities in the criminal justice system and calls for more people in recovery to get politically involved. Randy believes that the only way to bring about meaningful change is for people in recovery to have a seat at every table, or better yet, to build their own table for others to join. The episode serves as a powerful testament to the transformative power of recovery and the importance of advocacy in effecting systemic change.
There are TWO MOVIES out about the A-Bomb and about two amazing Physicists who created them. One is Oppenheimer about Robert Oppenheimer and the other is A Compassionate Spy about Ted Hall. In this episode, Harvey and Jim discuss and reflect on Oppenheimer and then they will introduce you to A Compassionate Spy by the name of Ted Hall. You have probably seen the first and never heard about the second even though both are getting great reviews, both involve the creation of the A-Bomb and both reflect on the dilemma of conscience of these two men that worked on it. This is truly fascinating. We also honor Sinead O'Connor.

Ted Green is a documentarian whose latest film, ‘The Best We've Got: The Carl Erskine Story', will be airing on PBS SoCal July 4th. Ted's film is an in-depth look at Carl Erskine, a Dodgers pitcher whose son Jimmie was born with Down syndrome 63 years ago, a time in our country's history when segregation plagued humanity.

Polls suggest that Republicans could take not only the House of Representatives but also the Senate in the upcoming Nov. 8 midterm elections. President Joe Biden, meanwhile, is saying that Democrats will keep control of the House and expand its control of the Senate. Meanwhile, a quiet battle is being fought to ensure election integrity. Republicans are working to have a balance of Republican and Democrat poll workers onsite across the country, and actions are underway to challenge activities such as counting votes where signatures don't match. Democrats, meanwhile, are accusing Republicans of voter intimidation and claim that the loosening of censorship policies will impact the votes. In this live Q&A with Crossroads we'll discuss these stories and others, and answer questions from the audience. ⭕️ Stay up-to-date with Josh with the Crossroads NEWSLETTER

The National Trust, a beloved national institution tasked with preserving Britain's heritage, has become mired in controversy in recent years. Join the National Trust by 26 August and you can help change the organisation's misguided and increasingly political direction. You will have a vote at the NT's upcoming AGM. Recent activities by the leadership at the National Trust have been subject of debates in both Houses of Parliament, and even more worryingly, an investigation by the Charities Commission. Increasingly, its leadership have steered the National Trust away from its core mission and into the highly contentious culture wars. This has led to huge numbers of members and volunteers deserting an institution many have supported for decades. Restore Trust is a pressure group of concerned members who are seeking to return the National Trust to its founding objectives. Zewditu Gebreyohanes is director of Restore Trust, executive editor of History Reclaimed and was formerly head of the History Matters unit at Policy Exchange. She joins us on the #SWYSI sofa to discuss the crisis at the heart of the National Trust and how ordinary members who join up by August 26 can help play a role in the Trust's future direction.

Too many times in our profession we get it the other way around. And we go straight to a risk register, and go straight to a work breakdown structure, and forget to ask would anybody benefit from that. WENDY GROUNDS: Welcome to Manage This, the podcast by project managers for project managers. I'm Wendy Grounds, and in the studio with me is Bill Yates. We are so excited to talk to you today. Our guest is Jesse Fewell, and we've had Jesse on before. He's got a lot of energy and a lot of good advice. He founded several startups, and he's contributed to three industry certifications: PMI-ACP, CST, and CEC. Jesse Fewell has mentored thousands of technology professionals across 14 countries to improve their teams and companies using agile methods. Jesse was also part of the core team writing the 7th Edition PMBOK® Guide . BILL YATES: Yeah, Jesse was putting in I can't even imagine how many hours in coming out with a new edition, especially one like this that is a big shift. And we'll get into that shift. One of the things that we'll talk about with Jesse is the principles-based approach in this 7th Edition. Just to help people get a sense for what we're talking about, I'm just going to quickly list off those 12 principles. So these are the 12 principles that are in the PMBOK® Guide 7th Edition that really drive decisions that project managers make, things like stewardship, the team, stakeholders, focusing on value, systems thinking, leadership tailoring, quality, complexity, risk, adaptability, and resiliency and change. So that gives you a sense for the principles that help drive project managers in the roles that they fill. We'll talk more with Jesse about that. That's a key shift in the 7th Edition. WENDY GROUNDS: And Bill, we also, if project managers are looking to pass their exam, we do offer some help, too, don't we. BILL YATES: Absolutely. The PMP Exam is our specialty. That's really what inspired Andy to start Velociteach back in 2002. He wanted to write a book that would help people pass an exam and achieve this goal of earning their PMP. That is a true focus of our business, helping people pass and earn the PMP, and then helping people get better at their job. WENDY GROUNDS: And you're going to get some free PDUs from listening to this podcast. Listen up at the end, and we'll tell you how to do that. Meet Jesse Hi, Jesse. Welcome to Manage This. We're really glad that you're talking with us today. JESSE FEWELL: Oh, I always love hanging out with the Velociteach people. BILL YATES: Love having you. WENDY GROUNDS: Yeah. It's been a while since we've last talked with you. What have you been up to in the meantime? JESSE FEWELL: Oh, my goodness. So we last chatted in the 2017 promotion of the PMBOK® 6th Edition. And what I've been up to since then is I've been moving further and further into the world of agile leadership...
