Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelujah…PRAISE YE The LORD!... Baptists are not known for being particularly loud on Sunday Mornings. There is no way to read Psalm 113 quietly. It would be like singing the hymn Stand Up for Jesus from the seated position. It doesn't work. This will require somebody to say it out loud...Hallelujah!!!

We all know that we are commanded to worship God. And a very significant part of worship is praising God. In fact, one of the best known Hebrew words, Hallelujah means just that to praise the Lord. And within Judaism, for times of holidays and new months, there is a group of psalms that we read to celebrate the special days. And we call this group of Psalms Hello, which is simply the Hebrew word for praise because the psalms are full of praise.

So you want to catch those! So A LOT of good stuff coming your way as we wrap C2! HALLELU! Witchcraft: At this point in the juncture you should be experiencing a SHIFT, (no matter which level of God you serve on), where God is shifting His TRUE Remnant upwards.  If you have been disobedient you are probably losing fire power, and are falling backwards unless you are choosing to get deliverance.  Because in this hour God is delivering HIS TRUE BRIDE out from underneath the structure of witchcraft that has so entangled so many w/out their knowledge (in their thinking, their HEARTS, courts, where major walls of truth have been torn down).  So we are now in the midst of God doing spiritual house cleaning so that our vessels can operate under the Davidic kingdom where God is teaching us to rule/reign.  WARNING: If you chose to go back to Jezebel -when the TRUE PROPHETS CLEARLY WARNED YOU NOT TO, then you are probably in a world of hurt about now.  And if this word offends you then you clearly need deliverance as the TRUTH should not EVER offend any of us.  Because the closer we walk with God, the MORE TRUTHFUL our walks should become!  So the true Bride is being identified as HIGHLY PURE, HIGHLY TRUTHFUL in their quest to come out from amongst them (Abraham) to where she can walk as a TRUE FRIEND OF THE KING! Today I am sensing A LOT OF fear in the body of Christ because of the two streams now operating:1)      THE Stream of blessing about to flow to the obedient 2)      THE Stream of Judgement about to fall on the disobedientSupport the show

In this week's Pause™ cast the theme we are working on together is an introduction to our breath and breathing. Often what is most simple is most profound. That which we take for granted is the most essential; that which is right in front of us is the most important. And the breath is perhaps the most poignant example of this.When we inhale we enliven ourselves. On a deeper level, what we are doing when we inhale is inhaling the Cosmic, Supernal Exhale that is right this moment, enlivening, animating, and sustaining creation. What a blessing to live with this awareness. Just this moment. Just this breath. Just this moment. Just this breath. And the knowing of it.Rabbi Levi says in the name of Rabbi Chanina: For each and every breath that man takes he must give praise to the Creator. How do we know this? For it says in Tehillim (Psalms) 150:6:Let all souls praise G-d, Hallelu-yah!Pause Point: If you lived in your heart, you'd be home right now.Pause Point: With each and every breath we are reminded of the blessing of the moment, and we are invited to renew our lives.Breathing and Quieting the Mind-https://www.amazon.com/Breathing-Quieting-Mind-DovBer-Pinson/dp/0989007219For further questions, comments, observations and feedback please be in touch with Dr. Benjy @ benjy.pause@meaningfulminute.org

Pesach | Hallelu Avdei Hashem, by Rav Yitzchak Etshalom What is the message behind the first chapter of Hallel? One of the highlights - and perhaps the ultimate purpose - of the Seder evening is the recitation of Hallel (Tehillim 113-118), the first two chapters of which are sung at the end of Maggid. We explore the general framework of Hallel, the rabbinic discussion about its authorship and the various "Hallels" that we have in our liturgy. We then study the text with an eye towards the four goals in any study of Tehillim - (1) the meaning of the words (2) the poetic structure of the psalm (3) the message of the psalm and (4) its place at that point in the liturgy.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 14th of March, 2023, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start off in the Book of Job, they say the oldest book in the Bible."Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, And to depart from evil is understanding.” Job 28:28”The Lord by wisdom founded the earth; By understanding He established the heavens;…” Proverbs 3:19“My son, let them not depart from your eyes—Keep sound wisdom and discretion;So they will be life to your soulAnd grace to your neck.”Proverbs 3:21Like never, ever before, we need the mind of Christ! Wisdom and understanding do not come from the lecture halls of the world. No, wisdom and understanding come from the closet, from the quiet time room, from spending time with Jesus early in the morning, the Creator of Heaven and Earth. ”But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Matthew 6:33Do you remember that old song?Seek ye first the kingdom of GodAnd His righteousness;And all these things shall be added unto you.Hallelu, Hallelujah!Hallelujah! Hallelujah!Hallelujah! Hallelujah!Hallelu, Hallelujah!Ask, and it shall be given unto you;Seek, and you shall find.Knock, and it shall be opened unto you.Hallelu, Hallelujah!Today, seek wisdom and understanding in your closet from the Lord Jesus Christ and go out and bless the world.God bless you and goodbye.

And yes, we can put sex and drugs and Jesus all in the same bed and still be all right at the end of the day. My name is De'Vannon and I'll be interviewing guests from every corner of this world as we dig into topics that are too risqué for the morning show, as we strive to help you understand what's really going on in your life.There is nothing off the table and we've got a lot to talk about. So let's dive right into this episode.De'Vannon: Blood at the root is a coming of age take on critical race theory among other poignant issues. And Ciahnan Darrell is the amazing individual who has brought this great word to us. Please join us as we discuss how Canaan's contributions to literature are influenced by racism, respect for homeless veterans, respect for women, and so much more.Canan is an author with a huge heart and at the center of his heart and [00:01:00] his workis the spirit. Of this quote from James Baldwin, which says that not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced. Let's face some tough shit together.Hello, are you delicious? Delectable delights out there and welcome back to the Sex Drugs in Jesus podcast. My name is Devon, and I'm your host, and I have with me the very, very soulful and intuitive Darrel. He's an author and a writer, and a a scholar on many fronts. How are you today, my friend? Ciahnan: I'm doing well.I'm excited to be here and you know, ready to really get into it, you know, the depth of things. Mm-hmm. . De'Vannon: So we, we, we shall go meaningfully deep today. [00:02:00] Okay. Now you've got two books that we're, we're gonna talk about Blood at the Root. Your first one was called A Lifetime of Men. Can you give us just like a little synopsis of what that one was about?A lifetime of men? Yeah. I'd love to thank you. Ciahnan: It's about three generations of women fighting against a society that wants to take their autonomy away from them, that wants to tell them how they can live, how they can dress, how they can talk. The first one is contemp with the Great Depression, and then it goes on to the present.Just the inspiration real quick for this was the fact that I grew up, I was raised by women you know, my aunts, my grandmother, and my mother, they're all very strong, all very intelligent. And so I knew no different. And then I went away to college and I heard the word feminists and I like, I didn't really know it.I'd heard it, but I didn't know what it meant. So I. And someone said, well, it's someone who believes all these d [00:03:00] derogatory things about women that I was scandalized. Like, they better not say that around my grandmother. She'll cut 'em . You know, I was, you know, I, I was lucky. I was blessed to have these women in my life, and so I guess, You know, part of the, the subject matter of the book is a tribute to them.De'Vannon: You know what? There's nothing wrong with that. I was raised by like three women too. Cuz God knows the men in my life. I did not want to be like, you know, like pretty much every male in my family either hits women. or cheat son or like, or a combination of the two. And so I think the Lord really did me a mercy by letting me be the gay one , you know, who was more drawn to the females.You know, I would rather this life than to be like they are on any fucking day of the week. So that gave you that view, you know, from the, from the female perspective. Now the book, blood at the Root. talks a lot [00:04:00] about like racial issues and things like that, so people watching and listening, you know you know, as you know, as you've stated in like, different research I've done might go, what does white boy know about that?You know, . But I'm gonna tell y'all, I'm gonna tell y'all from, from my days in the Air Force to my days on the streets selling dope in Houston, Texas, there are a lot of white boys out there. Who are very, very soulful and really, really feel what's going the struggles of like ethnic people. I'm not talking about like white guilt.I'm talking about like they just identify with more of a diversity of racists than you might. Think the type of guys I used to hang out with didn't hang out with really white people. They would rather hang out with, with the folk and things like that, and I appreciate. The sympathizers and the empathizes and the [00:05:00] diversity.God has given us some, all the way back in the slave days, not every white person was pro-slavery. You know, we had the defectors that would come and help the black people and stuff like that. And so I believe it's a way of God balancing things out. If someone's more proponent of the universe, you could say it's the universe bringing.Or whatever the fuck. And so give us like, like a brief over like rundown of blood at the root and what it means to you. Ciahnan: Okay. Well, I, I have studied critical race theory and my dissertation was on racialized and gendered violence in South Africa. So at least the, the, the bones of the theory are familiar to me.When it comes to BLI at the. I think it's important to say that it began not in a desire to say what race is cause that's not my place. It began by looking at this society in which I live and seeing all these false narratives [00:06:00] and, excuse me, their narratives that crushed people, that denigrated them that them and James Baldwin was writing about this, you know, in, in the fifties and sixties and he basically said, you.How dare you try and reduce me to my suffering. How dare you try and reduce me to. You know, to my the racism I've experienced. And so what I did is I looked at these narratives and I tried to pick out false narratives, and then I don't think with a story you can disprove it because it's a story, it doesn't follow a logical argument.But what you can do is you can tell other stories, stories that like, take, you know, take. The pin and prick the balloons of, of those those stories, stories to problematize them so that you're not getting that collapse collapsing of all black people into one identity or you're not getting that collapsing of all women into [00:07:00] subordinates, to victims to play things of men.And so what I tried to do, part of the reason I have 33 different characters in here is cuz I didn't want anybody to be able to point to one. And say this is what he believes. Because this isn't about belief beyond the fact that I think that what is is sick. I think that the narratives that we as a society have internalized and project, you know, onto ourselves are sick.So, you know, again, the idea is, is to just make it impossible to take these dominant narratives, these violent narratives, and take them as gospel. De'Vannon: Hmm. Well that's the gospel right there. Have I ever heard it y'all? Hallelujah. Tabernacle and praise. And so like, like the man said, yo, the book is broken down in the 33.Is there, like, you might call 'em like little short stories and things like that and, and there's like humor drizzled, I would say throughout [00:08:00] these these. Excerpts or little snippets called Giggle House, which I think are meant to like maybe lighten the mood as you're going through it, but they can get a little dark too.I, this is a very dark read . It's dark and I'm here for the darkness. Especially as we get this close to Halloween. So delicious. But you know, the darkness though is true. You know, it's not, You know, it's like fictional, but it's also, it's a lot of truth to it too. And so you mentioned how Mr. Baldon was talking about not being reduced to his struggles.So I'm gonna cut right over to my favorite story, the one that stood out to me, which in within the book is called Voices. Okay. Okay, so I'm gonna read a little excerpt if I may. Actually, I have several excerpts that I, that I might read. I'm channeling my inner Bugs Bunny right now. So this first, this first Ex from Voices, it says, He drank when he [00:09:00] could malt liquor or skunked beer or ethyl alcohol until he blacked out.He smoked or ate or snorted or shot whatever drugs he came across with communal pins or razor blades or jagged edged light bulbs. Turned crack pipes bent on annihilation if possible, oblivion at a minimum. This story here was talking about a homeless person. Who, but I like abandoned his family. I wanna know how, how were you able to tap into this sort of reality?Because the writing speaks like somebody who was homeless before. Have you been homeless before? Ciahnan: No, but I, I I worked as a chaplain in a VA hospital. and over 50% of the country's homeless population are veterans. So I would get a lot of people that would come in and it was the most heartbreaking thing [00:10:00] because there's a limit.I think it was 60 days, it might've only been 30. So you get these people who are hooked on drugs. You know, out of their mind, their body's crashing. They come to the VA hospital, they get in the alcohol program. They get to have three meals a day in a warm place to sleep for, you know, the 30 to 60 days.And then they go right back out and the cycle starts again. And I say this not, I'm not trying to judge them. I'm just trying to say, watching them. , they took so much pain upon themselves. And some, some soldiers were more transparent and others were less transparent about the reasons why they, they were living the way they did.But, you know, what it all come, came down to is that, you know, they didn't have in anyone in their life, To love them. And I know love sounds like such a hokey word, but you know, I, I, I think when you're not talking necessarily about the hearts and flowers love, but you're talking about that, okay, I'm [00:11:00] gonna look you in the eye.I'm gonna listen and let you tell me who you are and what you need, and then I'm going to respond to you. And you know, either they don't have family or they've sort of, Broken the family's hearts. So many times the family has cut them off. Mm-hmm. , when it comes to the doctors and nurses, it's not like they don't care, but they're trying to carry a massive caseload and they just don't have the time to sit down and hold people's hands as much as they'd like to.So, you know, I listen to a lot of stories from such people men and women you know, some stories that, that I'll never tell not because. I guess because I want to think that in some way, even though I'm not a Christian, I wanna believe that those moments were sacred. I wanna believe that when we sat down and I allowed them to say what they wanted to say and listen with them, listen to them, I think it actually made a difference.So anyway, that's, that's how I had insight. [00:12:00] Into that. I also and this is me being bold and doing what I know is right as uncomfortable. It's, I'm I'm very significantly bipolar. And so when you see the voices and the bifurcation, the tri, what that is, it's pulling together the gross statistics about former servicemen, veterans.being homeless, and then the percentage of the homeless that are mentally ill is massive too, because Ronald Reagan said in the eighties, you know what, we're gonna eliminate all federal care for, for, you know, the mentally ill overnight. And he, he doubled the homeless population. So there's a lot of drawn together, a lot of anger, a lot of betrayal and.You know, I think there's so many different ways to read a scene. I think I wrote it one way because I am bipolar, but for me, the guy left his family cuz he didn't want to expose them to what was coming. And, and you know, [00:13:00] that's significant I think, I hope because I think there are a lot of people who deal with that.And I think there are a lot of people who don't know from day to day whether their presence in somebody else's life is positive or. And I mean, I can tell you, you know, sometimes I struggle with that, that question, but the idea for me of walking away from people that I love as my wife and son is just.Devastating. So when I was writing that, I was trying to put myself in the head space of somebody who felt so hopeless, who had so little access to the care they need, the therapists they need, the drugs they need that they thought the the best thing they could do for, for their family is to walk away.So yeah, I No, I've, I've lived a pretty sheltered life in some ways, but I've, through various decisions I've made and jobs I've taken, whatever, have run into some [00:14:00] well, a, a wide variety of people with very different experiences, and it, it's something that I'm grateful for and, but it's also something that's tremendously humbling because I can't understand.What they went through. I can only listen. And really and blood it the root. That's what I'm, I was trying to do, is just listen, listen to the things our society says and talk, you know, interact with them. Let me, let me give you one more example and I'll shut up and let, let you. How the floor again, sorry.So the way this book works is by inversion distortion manipulation, but there's also celebration in there. And so it's not meant to be unrelentingly. You know, dark and horrible, but there's a lot of dark and horrible in there. But anyway, one of the perversions that's in there is the, the Latin name of the billionaires company stands for stands for it translated as someone [00:15:00] who has been elected to have to accumulate limitless wealth or limitless, limitless profit.And I think that sort of, Sort of, you know, just encapsulates a lot, a lot of what makes our country so sick is it we teach people to pursue things that aren't gonna make them happy, that aren't gonna fulfill them. We have people who save. Family is the most important thing, working 60 hours a week. And we have this idea of, of limitless profit, limitless income, but it literally can't work out.And I won't go into the technical details of derivatives and whatnot, but let's just say that in the eighties there were about I wanna say eight eight billion worth of derivatives out there. There's over 700 now. So a derivative is essentially a made up A made up financial product and, and it just goes to show that our house is a house of [00:16:00] cards.We're, and we're telling our people, we're gearing our people to this unlimited consumerism. So we're, we're, as a society telling them to do things, basing around based their lives around something that can't happen. You know, something, something that, that is an illusion. . And so that's one of the things in, in making that the name of the, the corporation, I wanted to kind of point to.The fact is like thi this is, this is perverse, you know, we are all of us for the most part, directing our energies towards things that A, we don't need, and B, they're not going to solve the problems that society has anyway. You have to pick up . De'Vannon: No, you know what? I like my show to be cathartic, you know, for, for my guests.And I could tell this is this, this is some shit you need to say. So I'm, I'm just gonna let you go ahead and get it off your chest. And so [00:17:00] couple of things here. So, You know, you know, plenty of people in the military, you know, we go in there and we just don't come out the same, you know, whether you went over to a war or not.And so I appreciate that that aspect of it. Now, you, you, you mentioned like if you were being nice and talking to these people and you said, even though I'm not a Christian, why did, so do you equate like some sort of. A valor or some sort of characteristic of niceness to Christianity, and yet you disassociate yourself with that.Why did you specify that you're not a Christian, but you feel like you were still doing a good Ciahnan: thing? I guess the reason I specify that is cuz I grew up evangelical. Oh, okay. went to seminary and I got ordained. I did that whole thing. Oh. And so, like it or not, those are the words and images [00:18:00] that are in my head.Like when I search for, you know, when I, when I search for something that has the power of what I'm trying to say, it often falls back on that kinda language. Now I left. Basically cuz I didn't feel like I could in good conscience continue in the church. As far as you know, any anger or residual hurt I, I really I really try to.To let go of anger and who, who doesn't. Right? But I'm very much, I, I wouldn't say I'm a Buddhist, but that's the practice that I follow. The precepts, you know, the meditation, the, you know, what have you. And one of the things that Buddha teaches is that, you know, the future is in your imagination, the past of your memory.The only thing [00:19:00] that's real. Is right here, right now. Now, I'm not saying take that in a hippie dippy, you know, live in the moment type thing. But what I am saying is that I don't wanna reach for something that is gonna be like poisoned to me. I don't wanna reach for something that is going to make me angrier than I already am.So I guess the, the reason I was trying to say I'm not a Christian, but I had that experience was just, To take advantage of that, that imagery, but also to say that when I'm talking about this interaction, when I'm talking about its power, it's not what you hear about in church for the most point. I don't mean angels or Jesus or, or God or anything.What I mean, and, and I guess the closest thing I would, the definition I would, I would give of God at this point in my life is to say that God is what happens when two people are present for each other. So in listening to the person, it wasn't just being nice. It was like, you know, especially street people, how many people stop and have a conversation with [00:20:00] 'em?You know, you hear all , all the debate about, well, what should a homeless person be able to spend their, you know, food stamps on or whatever. They're not treated like human beings. And I know most homeless don't have food stamps, but you know what I mean. And so for me to just say, you know what, I'm gonna give myself to.For, you know, for this time. I think it, it is a tremendous gift. And, and you know, it's not just homeless people, I don't think, I think everybody wants to, to be heard. Mm-hmm. . You know, I think anytime somebody pays attention to another person, that person is gonna feel valued to a greater or lesser extent.That person is gonna feel like they've been invested in you know, You could be doing any, any number of other things but you're here talking to me or more appropriately listening to me De'Vannon: so you know of. [00:21:00] So, you know, something that that stands out to me about you is that you took the time to write this, and this book is really all about, you know, disadvantaged people, marginalized people, people who haven't been heard, people who are reduced to their negative circumstances and things like that.And, you know, you could have walked by, you know, or nothing like, you know, you didn't have to even, you know, stop and do this. So I'd like you to give yourself a hell of a lot more credit , you know, than what you. Do, because writing a book is AAN undertaking. You know, people might say, oh, I'm gonna write that book, girl, or whatever.Most people won't like actually sitting down and do it. You've done it twice now, and both times you did it for the sake of giving voice to people other than yourself. And so, I don't refer to myself as a Christian either because the word has become corrupt and I don't need a word to define my faith anyway.Jesus himself [00:22:00] technically wasn't a Christian. That's something that people came up with after the fact, and so I'm actually, I'm actually about to release a free book that's just gonna be on my website called don't Call Me a Christian, and it's gonna get into like my my views on the fuckery that has become of the church.And you're right, the, the sort of love you're showing is not found in churches, not, not typically. And so, I appreciate the vegan food that they have down at the Buddhist temples. You know, I've been to the lawns here. It's always great to go hang out with other ball bitches, such as my . I, I, I don't feel alone when I'm there.And so so y'all, he mentioned, Ken mentioned Mr. Fairchild, like the billionaire from the book. So when the book opens Fairchild's kid. Has decided that he's going to make a video like sacrificing himself in a [00:23:00] way. He's g he's like getting his ass kicked and beaten. He's like walking on broken glass and he hadn't eaten in 22 days and all of this, you know, is going on and he's videoing this and broadcasting this as if to a tone for all the like race racist sins of his forefathers and stuff like that.And so you see this echoed throughout the stories through. The book there is the appearance of like, you know, like Hispanic people and, you know, middle Eastern people. I think you really covered like the gamut on a lot of different eth ethnicities here, sir. I mean, I am impressed. Thank you, . Ciahnan: I'll, I'll tell you the first scene that you mention, I've been, I've been accused of being a racist against whites.Because, because I wrote it. Fuck it. Yeah. To me, to me, with a book that. It doesn't have a traditional structure. There's very obviously something going [00:24:00] on here that isn't normal, so if you wanna just blow through it, that's fine. I, you know, there's many ways to read, but don't blow through it and then go and write a review and say these insane things.That first scene with Christopher Fairchild being led. That's an inversion of the historical reality, one of the biggest slave markets in the country. Ut used to be in New York City on the corner of Wall and Pearl. So what, what do we assume with, with wall Street? It, it's like this symbol of American wealth, right?So you have this scene that people are objecting to and calling me anti-white . And it's like the history isn't hard to find. You can read it for. My point is not to be anti-white or pro-black or anything like that. My point is to say we are telling ourselves this story. We're not telling ourselves these stories as the case may be.And guess what? They're real. We need to face them. We are destroying [00:25:00] ourselves by making these lies, this center, center of our social life in the country. You know, that opening scene is super. And just so all your listeners know, I'm not a psycho. I did not get off writing that there's tons of violence in there, but guess what?Sit down and talk with some people who've lived in certain places or escape certain places or whatnot. It's a violent fucking life. Sorry, I didn't mean to say that, but, and, and people like. It just is insane to me. They so hate being uncomfortable, even for 10 seconds, that they're gonna completely reject this scene and not sit with it.And you know, I know I sound like a pissed off writer, and I guess I'm letting myself express that a little more than I De'Vannon: should today. Let it out. Let it out. . Ciahnan: I mean, the reality is, is we need to, we need not just to talk to each other, but we need to listen to each other. We need to listen to what's happened.[00:26:00]You know, it's probably cliche at this point but James Baldwin, he said, not everything we face can be changed, but nothing can be changed until we face it. And I think that at the heart of all this, the, the heart of this project is, This sort of almost petition on my part. It's like, what if we gave honesty a chance?What if we sat down and acknowledged what had happened? You know, what would that do to our society? Now I've been really frustrated by people going on and on about Black, black Lives Matter recently, cuz they completely misrepresented in so many ways. They're also acting like the American public has attention span that's going to last more than 18 months.You know, in this stuff it just goes further and further from, from memory. And so these people are convincing themselves that this is a great threat. Their, well, their way of life in their [00:27:00] rights are, they're not even trying to walk reality. And, you know, I just, it, it, I don't know. I keep tripping over my own words, but I, I guess what I want people to see is that, you know, there's a liberation in truth.You know, it'll be uncomfortable for a while, maybe for a very long time. But wholeness is the point, right? We wanna be healthy, we wanna be there for each other. We don't wanna be at war with each other. We want to understand each other to a certain extent when we talk. And and that's only gonna happen if you're willing to do the work required to uncover the actual.Of this country. I mean, I don't know how many people are aware that the, the, we bombed bla Black Wall Street into non nonexistent. We say that, well, you know, black people have never had wealth. Actually no. We just bomb the shit out of 'em every time they get it, you know? And I lived in Chicago for a while and one of the things they [00:28:00] had theirs, you know, they have these sort of neighborhood stores.The idea being that if you're black, you give your mind to another black person, not to some. Billionaire who owns a corporation. Well, guess what? Those stories were put out of business, and it wasn't because of anything that those, the proprietors were doing. It was because the powers that be recognized, the threat that equality posed to their bullshit narratives and to the power predicated.It, it, I, I don't know why. Maybe it shouldn't, but it does bother me sometimes that that. Enjoyed such privilege and so maybe there is a, a mona of guilt or anything here, but I really think that where most of where I'm coming from is just disbelief that amidst all this darkness, there can be celebration, there can be triumph.It won't ever be final, cuz we'll always be imperfect, sinful to use the Christian phrase, but, [00:29:00]We don't even know because we're not even willing to try to, with, with the levels of joy and wholeness and health that, that are available to us that we could have in our lives. De'Vannon: So y'all, what, what what, what Ken is talking about when he says like the Black Wall Street you might wanna look it up. This is the the Tulsa race massacres back in in 1921. And I'm just gonna put that out there and y'all can go and research it. Man, I feel like you talk like, like a.Like a minister, like a, like a preacher. Not the fake ones, not the rapey ones. Like , like, like, like the act, right. Hallelu. Like the actual real ones that I, you know, and I remember listening to whenever I did go to church, they had a certain [00:30:00] anointing and like the spirit of God, like was truly, truly, truly with them and they were.You know, and like different, and therefore I can see that you're cold, like, like by God, I can see that you're cold. And I believe that that is what has given you your perspective. Because when the Lord puts his puts, puts that stamp on our forehead like that, it changes us. It changes the way we look at the world.It changes the way the world perceives us. You're somebody who has been set apart. By Christ. And so what I appreciate about the openness of Jesus Christ is that you don't have to go to church, find him like you don't have to. These things, all these religions and stuff that people have created, the 50 million versions of the Bible, well, well, 50 million versions of Christianity and all of that unnecessary.All you need to do is be sincere. in your relationship with him and you, you carry that sincerity heavily. And thank you. And I, and I respect that you're a, [00:31:00] a practicing Buddhist now, but I, I still, I, I, I feel, I feel that, I feel that spirit on you, bruh. And so cuz your first book in this one here, they both sound.It is like, it's like, it's like written ministry because y'all preaching and carrying the gospel. It's not just standing in a fucking pool pit wearing a suit that is so last season, you know, now you reach people. It's, it's just reaching people in whatever way you can be that YouTube books. Podcast setting down at a coffee table, talking to somebody, preaching the gospel or carrying the message of Jesus Christ is not relegated to televangelist in four goddamn walls.God is not limited to that. Now, you had you had. Dropped an F Bond, you said Fuck seem to be quite comfortable with that. But I just wanna remind you, , this is, this is the sex drugs in Jesus podcast where we discuss whatever the fuck we want to, and [00:32:00] so you and I, and I know where you're coming from, you still have those like re maybe like religious restraints and stuff and you, but I'm just gonna let you know again that you were free on this show,Thank you. So now. I have in my head who I think your book is for. And when you were writing this and when you finished it, and I want this is going beyond that, that boring old question, you know, who is your ideal reader? Mm-hmm. , this, this, this dark, this dark stuff right here. Doesn't really, this is different.And I also wanted to tell you about those, the negative reviews, because I get those. We have to remember that people like Amazon and different book retailers don't make their, the people who read and review things go through mental health tests or anything . So literally anybody can go on there and say anything and remember the devil.The devil will try to attack you whenever you're going to [00:33:00] do good. And this is a very good thing that you're trying to do. People have called me entitled after reading my memoir. You know, they, they, they, they, they took away from it that I was entitled . So, and I just had to like, okay, we're just gonna like, let that one go.And so, What kind of change would you like to see this book make in the world? Who did you personally write this for? Why? Who do you want to read this? Is it white people? Is it what? Like who is it? I don't know. Ciahnan: I think I think it just one. People who read it, who will think about it. I don't think it, it's sort of a call to arms and the way that some, some other things are like marching orders.But I, I do hope that people will look, look at this and look at some of the stories and be like, you know, start, like, getting in their head and, and, and asking theirself why, why does it seem different or why does it seem weird? I, I would like them to see [00:34:00] and most people haven't commented it. I dunno if they see it or not, but I would like them to.The spots where joy crops up the spots where healing crops up. One of my favorite chapters in there, I is you know, Mary the Mary section, and it's these two church going people father kicks. The the son out of the house because he is gay, even though he doesn't want to, even though he's like crying as he's doing it and like tries to distract his wife so he can slip a ton of money into his son's pocket.And, you know, that's, that's so much pain and, and. And whatnot. And then you, they go ahead and, and after limited reconciliation, they lose him to aids. And so all this unrelenting pain and like the worst kind of pain, the deepest pain, and at the. That chapter, this woman and her husband before they passed, he [00:35:00] passed away, were able to reconcile.They were able to be together to name their mistakes and find love in the love that carried them. And the, the chapter ends with Mary writing a letter to Fairchild his, to his father, saying, you know, whatever he did, however bad it was. Love is the. Trust me. We mess this up and don't do it. You know, all you need is love.And so on the one hand, like I intentionally chose that hokey all you need is love. But I did that because here's a woman who's been through Helen back, who's lost every person that mattered to her. and she's okay. She found a way to interact with her husband and her son, even though they're both gone.She's found a way to look at the garden that he made for her and, and to Dr. Derive joy from that. And so here's this woman. Who suffered so much and she's discovering these [00:36:00] blessings and then she reaches out to another person. And that's the big thing there. That's what I want to, that's the theory that I wanna test that love cannot but extend itself.So I've heard some, somewhere along the way, I think it was Richard of Saint Victory, he was a theologian and he said that the reason there is the Holy Spirit is because when there's love, it can't. Go outward and create something new. So, you know, is that chapter key to understanding the whole book?No, but it's definitely raising a possibility that maybe we have something right available to us that we don't take advantage of, that we don't know. You know, and, and one of the things, and, and this was important to me, is that these people, I wanted them to have, I wanted them to be sinful, especially the father, so that, that love, it wasn't just coming to Miss Perfect.It wasn't to j just coming to somebody who'd earned it. It was love [00:37:00] and coming and it changed things. You know, so I think, I think what I would like people to do is maybe just read the chapters and ask themselves if there's anything in. That resonates with them deeply or anything in there that, that jars with some of the stories that they've been told.De'Vannon: So yeah. Well, something that jars, thank you for that breakdown with my friend. And I'm gonna read me another X. So, because this here jarred with me and And this here is a good example of kind of like how the comedy can be mixed with this seriousness here. And so I'm gonna read now. So it says, y'all hear about the new drug they coming out with?Yeah. It's a dick pill. They're calling it black guaranteed to double your dong and a New York minute. There's a lot of New York references y'all, because this store is based in New York City. So now before you, why [00:38:00] people? And he's spelling it. W Y P I P o, which I think is hilarious. I don't know if there's a reason, but I really, really love it.So now, before you, why people hiding in the corner get too excited? You should know that it has some pretty serious side effects. Cab drivers, employers, and loan providers won't be able to see you no more cops in your vicinity are gonna hallucinate automatic weapons and hot damn. If you won't be drawing the Tyler Perry.Drinking water at room temperature and baby bougie teas, like a moth to a motherfucking flame.And then I'm gonna add to that. Piggybacking off of the hallucinating automatic weapons and take it a bit more serious. There's another excerpt that says we interrupt this broadcast for a breaking news special report. We have unconfirmed reports coming in at a standoff between a man and the St. George Police has ended without casualties.[00:39:00] While we have yet to ascertain the alleged gunman gunman's identity, eyewitnesses describe him as a thin, clean shaven Caucasian male, approximately six feet tall of the military haircut. We can also now confirm that police have recovered. HK four 17, a two 20 inch sniper rifle from the crime scene leading the speculation that they may have apprehended the courthouse gunmen while ballistics have yet to be run.Authorities believe the rounds that killed Stacey Harrison and Terrace Green will match the rifle. Talk to me about both of those excerpts in just how relevant this is. Right. Ciahnan: Well see, the first one I was a little conflicted about early because it's, it's a play on a racist joke. Obviously, you know, dick pill, black side effects can't spell or swim.I, so, I, I didn't mean, I hope that doesn't offend you, but that's the, that's the joke. . And so I was trying to [00:40:00] flip that. Mm-hmm. so that, you know, we're no longer gonna be shitting all over black people with Punch China. This joke, we're gonna be pointing, pointing a lens in society. You know, it is also very hard for a white person to know what.To what extent it's helpful to talk about these shootings. You know, the there's there's been so many. Yeah. And you know, people at Ferguson were railing like it never happened before. It's like, you guys, do you have any memory? We had race Rios in the late eighties. You know, America gets really interest interested in.Every 30 or 40 years. And it's usually just to remind African American people that, you know, if they step outta line, boom. I decided to use it just because it had become so ubiquitous. I'm not saying that any of the [00:41:00] lives that were taken deserved it or anything, but there was one in particular that just devastated me.Tamir Rice, a 12 year old kid. I. Oh my God. Like I, I, I don't, I can't explain that. I mean, I, I've heard all kinds of, you know psychiatric explanations about people seeing what they're taught to see. And so therefore the, you know, the training, the police gett, which is like for Armageddon they see a threat no matter whether or not one exists.So maybe that's the case, but my son's nine and. A nine year old, a 12 year old's gonna be a little bit older, but he's four six or four 10. You can't mistake a child, a pre ascent child for an adult, you just can't. And, and, and that to me says again that there's some narrative buried deep in our psyche as a certain that allows [00:42:00] this, that authorizes this.You know, and, and, and. Obama when he said that that his son would've looked like Trayvon. Like that, that, I mean, it was so right. So perfect. He got slammed for it as we knew he would. But it, it needs to get that kind of real for more people. You know, but before things are gonna happenDe'Vannon: I could see this book here.Used for like open mic nights, you know, in different poetry rooms. I could see this being used on like group Zoom discussions and stuff like that. It's very provocative and the way that it's broken down is good talking points to bring up a lot of things, you know? I could see this in colleges and universities, you know, and, and things like that.And, . It just, it's, [00:43:00] it's, it's a, it's, and it's, there's things like almost 300 pages too, so it's not like, it's like It's, it's, it's, it's like a good whole lot of content. This is very, very high value to me. I cannot wait to leave you quite a delicious review. Thank you. I'm gonna read my final excerpt because it gives me an excuse to speak a little bit of Espanol.Okay. Nice. And also highlights these, you know, the, the race wars that I have witnessed personally between like, And Hispanic people, which I thought was the damn thing when I was in Southern California and a recruiter for the, for the Air Force and some of my high schools, the blacks and the Hispanics were fighting while the white people were standing there looking at them.And I was like, y'all have got this completely fucked up. And so to again, he says who else we got here tonight? I see a bunch of brothers and sisters. [00:44:00] Ss I know my people. Have had beef with your people. Perro, the enemy of my enemyrights. Laquanda is an 87 year old swartz swallowing lesbian from Detroit. Jose is a 17 year old digital overlord from Moka. She loves to doco. His mama once drilled him with his shoe at 30 yards. What brought them together? White people,Ciahnan: I I had a review that one they got left and like his big nasty, you know, the, like, the worst thing he said is, you know what? And that comedy is not funny. Funny to.I am glad it, it resonated with De'Vannon: you, . Yeah. If, if only we could just let the good people come in there and review us there. [00:45:00] I went on someone else's show and we were talking about like Jesus and Dick and fucking, and whatever, and somebody messaged her and she, and they were like fearing, you know, for her soul.You know, it was gonna go, it was like quite dramatic, you know? But there's all kinds of minds in this world. But what, what do you have to say to this whole war between like black people and Hispanic people? Which is I felt like was at the heart of this. Yeah, no, I Ciahnan: It kicked off while I was in Chicago, or at least escalated.And I think what you have is, is something that you can find. In just about every totalitarian society. And what I mean by that is, say I, I'm sitting pretty, I'm a white person. Life is good for me. I got these black people. I gotta keep them under control. They outnumber me by tons. So what am I gonna do?Well, I'm gonna, I'm gonna create a third group or help a third. Achieve some kind of [00:46:00]success, some kind of wealth, some kind of, you know, toehold, and then they're gonna turn on each other. And it's not an accident. It, it's, it's manufactured. It's facilitated. And I mean, it's, it's most obvious, I guess, in South Africa where they, they basically took a small group of the the, the black folk there and some Indians.And allowed them to achieve middle class. And suddenly those black folk and Indians are voting for the Apartheid government and helping them keep the Black South Africans down. And, and I really think that what's, what happens here is sort of to a variety of that. De'Vannon: Yeah, the only thing I have to say to that is, oh hell now.That's all I could say. That's all I could say. So I read where you [00:47:00] donate 10% of the profits from your books to charity, and so I was wondering which charities and why, and then is this 10% like a tithing thing or what did you come up with that number from?Ciahnan: So I came up with a number just cuz it was a nice round number.An independent author like me is like, I don't make any money. I haven't sold that many books honestly. But that said what little money I do get, if I could take that and put it on something that's support. You know, a project that I'm trying to, to help or support in my book, then that's you know, that's a really good feeling.A way of, I think speaking putting my money where my mouth is, if you will. Girls Inc. Is the one that the charity that a lifetime of men donates to. And basically what that is, is a program that through mentorship science, technology, engineering, medi. [00:48:00] Just went right outta me. Sorry. Medicine.Create creates women who will be more likely to success and succeed in the future. It's, it's a program targeted at young girls, teenage girls. So mathematics, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The other one blood at the root supports rock your world. Which is a organization that I just absolutely love because what they're doing is they're trying to teach the next gen generation of artists how to use their art as activism, how to use their art to affect the world.And so I actually had a interview with them. I spoke to their class and accidentally dropped an F bomb, and I haven't heard that from them yet, . But I still love what they're doing and great people great people. De'Vannon: I think you're a great person. Keon. . [00:49:00] He has oh, you're welcome. He has an you said your name's from Ireland.Gaelic, Ciahnan: yeah. GA ish, but yeah, De'Vannon: Ireland gay. I think it's a sexy ass name. . So and so, how long were you in the military? Ciahnan: I was in Roxy from 2001 to 2004, and then I was in the Army national Guard from 2006 to 2011. I never got sent anywhere. I mostly worked as an acting chaplain because the The battalion that I was part of didn't have a chaplain assigned to it.It was for the most part pretty wonderful for me cuz I got to help a lot of people. I didn't have a whole lot of oversight. So I didn't feel the hierarchy. Too intensely. No. There, there's some pretty hard parts though too. [00:50:00] Human beings aren't meant to kill each other. They just aren't. And when, once they have, you know, they come back, like you said, differently.You know, you see some guys who a thousand yards stare. You know, after that just seemed sort of vacant or, you know, one guy I knew stabbed his wife obviously that wasn't who he bet at, at all up to that point. Doesn't forgive what he did, but, you know, I think, I think when you go and you have certain experiences, it changes you.But I did have, this is kind of funny. I did have a guy sign up for a wedding retreat, or excuse me, couples retreat that I was that I was organizing, and he put down one wife's name. In another wife's number turned out he was married to two women at the same time. And [00:51:00] dealing with that, that was fun.I finally said uh, this is above my grade. , just move it up De'Vannon: the ladder. And I'm assuming these, this was not a polyamorous situation. No. No, that's important. They could have, they could have had all the fun three ways every night. Come on. Hell yeah. . So . Well, thank you. Thank, thank you so much for your service.I appreciate that. Thank you. You too. Immensely. Oh, absolutely. I can't say I do it again, but you know, I did what I did and so it's done now, so. Okay. So then my so then just as we get ready to close, and I thank you so much for your time for somebody else who might want to use writing in this way.Or any kind of closing words you have at all, whether it's that or whatever, just for the world in general. Cause this is a very specific type of [00:52:00] polarizing writing that I've never seen before. And so if somebody's inspired to do this, what would you say to them? All Ciahnan: right. Two things. The first is sort of procedural, I guess.Whenever you have violence and you use the word provocative whenever you have a a book that that is violent or provocative, you always have to weigh and it it's this really difficult, difficult calculus because. You risk on the one hand seeming like you're just going in for a pornography of violence, trying to be shocking.And then you lose your ability to communicate. On the other hand, if you get it right, who knows exactly what that means, but then that violence will re lead them to further questions. And one of the things that I have found I is Is that it's, it's can be very [00:53:00] difficult to, to get people to read books that ask questions that, that that demand answers, that require that you not just take your first impression and have that be it.And the final thing I, I wanna say, and this is I think more important if you wanna. And you want to write specifically to have some kind of impact on the world, the first thing you need to do is read tremendously, read widely. There's so much, much out there, so many different circumstances and perspectives.And what that'll do is it will not just give you information, but it'll give you a sense of the conversations that are already going on. So you're not trying to reinvent the wheel. And what that writing or that reading will give you time to do too is get yourself to the point. And this is, this is the most important thing I can say to any aspiring writer.[00:54:00]Get yourself to the point where you can be your own source of affirmation. If you are writing. To get compliments from other people. If you are writing to get a book deal, if you are writing to make money, the odds are you're gonna fail and that failure compounds and then you internalize it. I have to fight that against money against that myself sometimes more successfully than others, and I've seen it in so many others.Do not. For, you know, for, for other people according to other people's standards. Read tremendously. Write for yourself. Figure out who you are and what you're doing, and once you're armed with that background knowledge, the knowledge of your identity and what specifically it is that you want to do. Then you can step out into the world, then you can step out into trying to get published and whatnot, and you could step out with the confidence that comes from knowing who you are, from knowing you know your stuff [00:55:00] and from knowing exactly what it is you wanna accomplish.I think a lot of writers rush things, cuz everybody wants to be published and I wanna be published. And, and what ends up happening is a tremendous amount of rejection and some of it you can learn from. Some of it is really useful. I've had some, some rejection and even a negative re review of, of blood that I felt was tremendously helpful.But you'll be ready to deal with that, to process that. You'll be ready to take it and learn from it if you do the work ahead of De'Vannon: time. You preaching now. Thank you so much Canon for coming on the show today. Y'all's website is kenan darryl.com.

Hallelu, saints! This week we're discussing the mockumentary "Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul." which centers around a megachurch pastor and first lady who are attempting to rebuild their congregation following a major scandal. The film humorously highlights the moral hypocrisy and spectacle attached to megachurches, as well as the all too common trend of preachers NOT practicing what they preach. While quite funny, HFJSYS is also a layered film that takes the viewer on an unexpected emotional ride. "Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul." is currently playing in theaters and streaming on Peacock.

And a very good morning to you! It is Thursday morning, 9th June 2022, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.If we go right to the back of the Bible, to James 1:5:“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.”And then that verse we know so well - Matthew 7:7, the Lord says:“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.”Remember, the handle to the door is on the inside and Jesus says in Revelation 3:20:“I stand at the door and I knock.” He says, “If you open the door, I will come in and I will sup with you and you with Me.”Every one of us listening to this message today needs advice... We need advice for the big decisions and the small ones. And how do we get advice? We ask our Father, that's right! We pray in faith and He will answer us.You know, many, many years ago, my late dad used to live in a little cottage just behind us. He was a blacksmith by trade, he wasn't a farmer but he had lots and lots of wisdom. Many times I would go and sit on the stoep (the verandah) outside his little cottage in the afternoon, and we would sit and talk. I would ask him for advice, not advice about agriculture but advice on life. Many times he would just say to me, “Son, I don't know. I don't know the answer but…”, then he would tell me what he felt and that advice I have never forgotten. I want to say to a young man, a young lady listening to this programme: Right now, please do not become proud. Ask your father, ask your mother and they will help you and they will give you godly advice. It might not be the advice that you are looking for. You might not even like it at the moment but it will bless you and it will help you in the future. We need each other. Do you remember that old song that goes something like this:Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousnessAnd all these things shall be added unto you Hallelu, hallelujah,hallelujah, hallelujah,hallelujah, hallelu, hallelujah.Ask Him today and He will answer you. Have a wonderful day.Jesus bless you!Goodbye.

We lezen:Genesis 1:1-6:4, Jesaja 42 – 43, Johannes 1: 1-8 en Openbaring  19: 1-4Na het feest van de Achtste dag, de nieuwe dag vangt eveneens een nieuwe leescyclus aan met Genesis 1. In de eerste verzen staat al veel om te bespreken. Hij verkondigt aan het begin reeds het einde, de afloop. Wat in Genesis begint vindt in het boek Openbaring zijn vervulling. Wat blijkt?De aarde was woest en ledig geworden door het werk van de slang, de satan. De satan is een geschapen cherub, hij was onderdeel van Gods troon, maar wilde zich verheffen boven Gods troon. Hij wilde om zijn schoonheid en wijsheid aanbeden worden. Door zijn rebellie zet hij andere schepselen aan tot verwoestende rebellie. De Eeuwige geeft Zijn eer aan geen enkel maaksel van Zijn hand. Het is Hem een gruwel wanneer we net de Schepper aanbidden maar één van de werken van Zijn handen of stomme afbeeldingen daarvan. Door het werk van de Boze werd de aarde woest en ledig.Maar de geest van de Messias zweefde over de wateren en herstelde de orde. Wanneer een mens, een volk of de mensheid zich laat verleiden tot afgodendienst dan krijgt de verwoester opnieuw de ruimte om een leven, een land of de aarde te verwoesten. Maar de Heere betoont zich een held, als een krijgsman zal Hij tegen Zijn vijanden strijden en hen verwinnen. Dan zal zijn lof in een nieuw lied tot de einden der aarde klinken.Tot 4x toe galmt in Openbaring 19 het lied voor deze Overwinnaar, het Hallelu-jah door het ganse heelal, nadat het verwoestende Babylonische systeem is vernietigd en met vuur verbrand. Daarna zal de valse profeet, het beest uit de aarde en het beest uit de zee, met de dood en het dodenrijk in de poel van het vuur worden geworpen en allen van wie de naam niet in het boek des levens is opgeschreven.Daarna ziet Johannes een nieuwe hemel en een nieuwe aarde, want de eerste hemel en de eerste aarde waren voorbijgegaan. En hij ziet de bruid van de Overwinnaar als de heilige stad, het nieuwe Jeruzalem nederdalen uit de hemel. En Hij hoorde een luide stem van de troon zeggen: Zie, de tent va God is bij de mensen en Hij zal bij hen wonen, en zij zullen Zijn volken zijn en God Zelf zal bij hen zij en Hij zal alle tranen van hun ogen afwissen, en de dood zal niet meer zijn, noch rouw, noch geklaag, noch moeite zal er meer zijn, want de eerste dingen zijn voorbijgegaan.Hij, Die op de troon gezeten is, zeide: Zie, Ik maak alle dingen nieuw. Schrijf, want deze woorden zijn getrouw en waarachtig. “Zij zijn geschied. Ik ben de Alef en de Tav, het begin en het einde.Uitzendingen: Elke vrijdag 21:00 uur (herhaling op zaterdag 02:00, 10.00 uur en 19.00 uur, zondag 02:00 uur en 09.00 uur en maandag 02:00 uur).Shalom,Presentatie: Robert BernSupport the show (https://radioisrael.nl/geven/)

As we dig into topics that are too risky for the morning show, as we strive to help you understand what's really going on in your.[00:00:24] There was nothing on the table and we've got a lot to talk about. So let's dive right into this episode.[00:00:32] [00:00:32] De'Vannon: The Reverend doctor led for it is a civil rights attorney representing society's most marginalized and a Piskel priest. She earned her doctor of ministry and political theology from Pacific school of religion. Dr. Ledford found it political theology matters. To help the faithful develop public theology mission for greater social justice.[00:00:54] She writes, speaks, teaches, and preaches about how to do political theology [00:01:00] all while being protected by the first amendment. This episode marks the first of a series of three, which will focus on the Bible in the LGBTQ plus community. Or as I like to call us the alphabet mafia. Dr. Ledford has written a phenomenal blog on our website, political theology matters.com.[00:01:19] And today we focus on the injury entitled Paul misunderstood homosexuality. And here's why I really hope this helps someone.[00:01:31] Thank you so much, Marcia, for joining us today on the sex drugs and Jesus of podcast, and this is going to be a power hour and I'm so glad to have you here. [00:01:43] Marcia: Well, thank you, Devon. And it is absolutely a pleasure. And thank you for the invitation. [00:01:49] De'Vannon: Absolutely. Um, you're a very well studied woman.[00:01:53] You're very passionate woman. You're very consistent woman. And your work [00:02:00] speaks to the heart of a lot of what I'm trying to do, which is to get LGBTQ people, to be comfortable with themselves spiritually speaking, into accept themselves as a whole, to understand what the Lord really says about them and to fight politically if they have an inclination for that as well.[00:02:20] And so I feel like you've have it all. And so tell us about that. Politically political theology matters.com, which seems to be your baby and, um, how that came to be and your passion there. [00:02:40] Marcia: Sure. So if we roll the tape back a few decades, uh, when I was in my teens, I sensed a call to ordained ministry, but I wasn't seeing a whole lot of women or, uh, at the pulpit pulpit or the altar.[00:02:57] Uh, and then I came out and then [00:03:00] I was really sure there was not going to be a place for me is, uh, ordained clergy. So I decided to go into law because I thought that would be a way to help people. And I became a civil rights attorney and I did that for many years and I'm very glad I did because the experience, the learning and all of that is.[00:03:23] Invaluable. I've been able to help a lot of people and be a part of some really important cases along the way, especially where LGBTQ suffrage is concerned. Um, but that call of the holy spirit would not leave me alone basically. So in my late forties, I finally said to the holy spirit, okay, I'm going to do this, but you have to help me.[00:03:50] And she did. So, uh, I went to seminary and then I had, uh, a ministry in [00:04:00] Southwest Detroit where our Latino population is. And I became absolutely appalled to van. And at what I saw our government doing to families to little children, being separated from their parents who are deported. Um, I, uh, seldom am I'm at a loss for words, but this really struck me at a very deep place.[00:04:22] And I think it's partly because I know what it's like to be a second class citizen in this country as a lesbian. And, uh, for example, in 2014, Linden, I finally got married legally after being together for 32 years. So, um, I decided to study political theology and I, uh, once again, went back to school and got a, uh, doctor of ministry and political theology, and I started political theology matters as a [00:05:00] base for me to write, speak, teach, preach, whatever consult, uh, about how we can become more active as faith based voices in the public square for greater social justice.[00:05:15] So that's how it came to be. And you can learn a lot more about political theology matters at the website [00:05:23] De'Vannon: right now. I heard you refer to the holy spirit or that's as I call them the holy ghost. Um, as she, now I've only heard that I think. When I was at a unity church, uh, here in Baton Rouge. And, um, I think it's the coolest thing in the world, uh, because God does embody both the masculine and the feminine, but a lot of people don't look at him that way.[00:05:49] So can you tell me more about why you choose to refer to the holy ghost as she, I assume you refer to God and as she as well, I [00:05:59] Marcia: [00:06:00] usually take, um, a more neutral approach to the Trinity. Um, for me personally, the holy spirit is female, uh, because she's nurturing and she looks after us and takes care of us.[00:06:14] All of which are some of our very finest maternal instincts. That's not to say that a lot of men don't have that, but, uh, that's how I look at it. And the Hebrew word for spirit is Rudolph, which is a feminine word. And wisdom is said to have been with God, the creator at the beginning, which also has a feminine, um, uh, name, uh, whole coma.[00:06:42] And, uh, in Greek it's Sophia, which is also a feminine. So for me, that aspect, uh, has a very feminine sense to it. I think of God as more, um, all encompassing and sort of gender less. [00:07:00] And of course, you know, Jesus has been referred to as Jesus, Sophia there's even a book called Jesus Sophia. Uh, because I think that he has, uh, very much got male and female aspects to him.[00:07:18] He w he walked the earth as a man. Um, but he was, uh, not conceived in the normal way. And we don't know what kind of chromosomes were involved in his concession. [00:07:30] De'Vannon: Fair. Yeah. Thank you so much for that break down. And I love how you worked in those Hebrew words there. See everybody I told y'all she was smart[00:07:44] now. Um, Marsha, tell us, um, what exactly is political theology? [00:07:51] Marcia: All right. That's a, that's a wonderful question. Um, so it's pretty simple, really. And I use a, [00:08:00] um, a three prong test, and this is a little bit of a joke for any listeners out there who are lawyers. Um, we learn how to apply the law often by, by applying tests that have prongs or, uh, sections.[00:08:17] So lawyers love prongs. So whenever you hear somebody, um, explaining something legally, uh, and they're using prongs you'll know that's where it comes in. Uh, so the first prong is speaking a faith based message. So something that has to do with our teaching, and I'm not talking just about Christianity, of course, we're talking about any faith tradition because they're all protected under the first amendment.[00:08:48] We, yes, we live in a country founded by a Judeo-Christian, um, uh, mindset. There's no question about that. Um, and we could even say that [00:09:00] America has been an evangelical or Protestant theocracy for, uh it's since its inception. Um, I don't think that's falling far too far from the mark. Um, but speaking of faith based message is the first prom.[00:09:19] So here's an example. Jesus said, feed my sheep. Now was he just talking about, you know, giving somebody a fish for the day? I don't think so. I think he was talking about take care of each other, take care of my flock and all of us at times can help somebody and all of us at times need help from somebody else.[00:09:43] So I think that's what Jesus is talking about. And this is a very powerful message that we can incorporate into our advocacy for greater social justice. So speaking some sort of a faith, uh, [00:10:00] concept to, uh, justify our reasons for our advocacy is the first thing. The second thing is in public. So it could be it city hall or the halls of Congress.[00:10:13] It could be in a public park, it could be on a podcast. It could be, you know, many, many various places, unless there is a reasonable expectation of privacy. So, um, we take those two things, faith based message and, uh, some public airing of that message. And the third prong is, um, sort of subordinate, um, to as broad an audience as possible.[00:10:46] I mean, we ideally, we want to reach a lot of people, but we can't always do that. And that's okay. And sometimes we reach audiences, but that are very, very similar. But they are very, very interested in our, our topic [00:11:00] and our message, which in many ways is better than, you know, a scatter gun approach. So faith-based message in the public square to as broad an audience as possible are the three elements of political theology and theology is the study of God.[00:11:18] So it doesn't necessarily mean just Christian or just Jewish or, you know, just Islam. It's, uh, any study of the divine power. [00:11:29] De'Vannon: Yeah. Hallelu. I, uh, attended seminary in Houston for a couple of years and I was at the time, this was before I got kicked out of church for being LGBT. I was like all going to become like, um, a worship leader, probably with a master's in divinity.[00:11:49] And I was going through the whole theology thing and, um, I wish I had had a better school. You know, I had to leave this particular school because they were, they were throwing [00:12:00] shade at the, uh, at the church that, uh, at the time I attended, uh, Lakewood church in Houston, Texas. And, uh, and they were very, I think, jealous of Joel O'Steen and everything.[00:12:10] And, and so they were talking shit about him, you know, my professor at the theology school. And then also I left the ology school because they were telling us how they like to control people and just very blatant and bold and out there with it. And just one day in class, he just said it as an afterthought.[00:12:31] And I think he came from like a Baptist background and he was like, yeah, we, we, we, we like to control the congregation. And I just kind of was like, wait, what? And I was like the only person in class who seemed to have a problem with this. Everyone else is like nodding their heads. And agreed. And I'm all like, this is not the golden compass or any other, you know, like movie that reminded me of that was made about church domination of the minds of people.[00:12:56] And so I left, never looked back then I [00:13:00] got thrown out of Lakewood anyway. And so, um, I'm glad you had a better experience in theology and then you were able to go on and finish your, [00:13:09] Marcia: uh, and you know, you, you and I can talk about this, uh, as a sidebar. Uh, but, um, yeah, I was very careful in where I decided to go to seminary.[00:13:21] I started at a seminary in Detroit, uh, that was ecumenical. It w I'm in a Piskel priest. So that's, um, the Episcopal church in the United States. And it is part of the, um, the Anglican communion, which was. Started in England, the church of England. Uh, so I was, the Episcopal church is very progressive where LGBT people are concerned.[00:13:47] And of course we ordain LGBT people. Uh, we passed a specific resolution about ordaining, transgender persons in 2012. So we have been at the cutting edge for a [00:14:00] long, long time. So I was very selective because the first school I was at, there was some homophobia. Uh, and I just decided to finish, uh, at an Episcopal school and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made for myself.[00:14:15] So we could talk more about that, but, uh, there are places for you to finish your master of divinity. Absolutely. And they will be pleased have you there, and we'll see your gifts and abilities. [00:14:28] De'Vannon: Wow. That sounds like a dream. [00:14:30] Marcia: Yeah. And it's a reality. It can be reality. So we'll talk. [00:14:35] De'Vannon: Yeah. So thank you so much for that.[00:14:37] Um, tell us what a progressive Christian is as opposed to a non progressive [00:14:44] Marcia: Christian. Well, it's, uh, you know, that's, uh, it's a phrase that has Devon and a very fluid definition because not all ASP aspects of it apply to all persons, [00:15:00] but. Uh, to my mind. And I'm pretty open about how I'm defining a progressive Christian, but this is somebody who believes that women can and should be ordained according to their gifts of the spirit.[00:15:16] Again, LGBT people can be ordained according to their gifts and abilities of the spirit and LGBT people should be able to marry with the blessing from the church, which the Episcopal church currently has as a blessing for a marriage ceremony for same-sex couples. Um, and so there's that, uh, the Episcopal church teaches that to every abortion.[00:15:47] There is a tragic dimension, but the church is unequivocally in support of women being able to receive safe medical, uh, reproductive healthcare. [00:16:00] Um, the Episcopal church has deemed racism to be a sin that we must account for, and that we, uh, we want to undertake that which needs to happen in order for us to create a society with a level playing field.[00:16:20] Uh, let's see, creation care is also very important and, uh, eradicating poverty and violence and, uh, trafficking. So progressive people typically, uh, agree with all or most of these various tenants. Uh, but typically they're, uh, they're open-minded and inclusive and accepting. [00:16:46] De'Vannon: Well, I'm a progressive believer is how I would describe myself.[00:16:53] Um, I have chosen to abandon the word Christian because of what I had. [00:17:00] Uh, the concept of Christianity has become, especially here in America, is people crawl all over themselves, especially are, uh, as they say on the hill, our colleagues on the other, on the other side of the aisle, um, um, uh, you know, trying to tell everybody else, you know, how to live their life in what not.[00:17:23] So the division of American Christianity is why I don't want to be called a Christian. I choose to just be called a believer like they did back in the day, right before Antioch. So how, how, in your opinion, Marsha did American Christianity become so divided in the first place? [00:17:42] Marcia: I think it's always been divided.[00:17:44] I think we're just seeing the cracks in a system that we have consistently spackled over across the centuries. Uh, there's always been to America. There's been free white men initially, [00:18:00] uh, and black slaves. Um, the church was separate by color. Uh, the black church grew out of slavery. Um, and now we are seeing these, these divisions coming to the fore at a time when, uh, African-Americans are now, um, millionaires and able to, uh, um, bequeath lots of money and they're gaining power and it's, uh, making, uh, some white folks really, really nervous.[00:18:43] And they typically are people who are in power and don't want to let white privilege and indeed white supremacy slipped through their fingers. And that's why Trump was so attractive to so many white evangelicals because [00:19:00] they see what's happening. And as America, as a people of color in America become more educated and more powerful and more, uh, equipped to fully participate in all aspects of society makes a lot of folks nervous and they view him, uh, as sort of the last bastion, the last great stand to hold onto white supremacy.[00:19:30] And so that's always been in the church. It's always been in the church and in the south during slavery, white preachers would, you know, call up a fusions and say, slaves, obey your masters. And, you know, that's pretty much all that was preached by white preachers to black folk. Hmm. Now black vote, please preach in black folk, talked about Moses and the Exodus and God providing liberation and salvation.[00:19:59] So [00:20:00] it was a very, very, um, different ethos that was going on in the country and its inner, I hate to say this, but uh, this, uh, sense of entitlement of white people to exploit black people is in our social DNA. And that's why we see something like George Floyd happen or Brianna Taylor or because there's fear and there's a distrust and it's been in us as a society for a long time.[00:20:46] So do I think the church is divided? Yeah. Do I think this is a new problem? Absolutely not. It's been with us since well, before we had slaves in this country for 156 years before the [00:21:00] declaration of independence. So there was never a time at the beginning of this country where we didn't have slavery. [00:21:09] De'Vannon: And so, oh, go ahead.[00:21:12] No, you go ahead. Nope. We're here to hear you. [00:21:17] Marcia: I, I mean to, for people to sound surprised, um, and for, for people to, uh, fail, to understand that, uh, we have an appetite for lynching and we have an appetite for, um, taking justice into our own hands. I'm talking about white folks, uh, when we don't like what's going on.[00:21:41] And that's what we saw in January.[00:21:46] De'Vannon: And fell. It sounds like including [00:21:47] Marcia: a news, including [00:21:48] De'Vannon: a news. I remember the news too. It sounds like, um, the whole taking the power in their hands. It sounds like that the whole Karen [00:22:00] movement, you know, she came out swinging and she still comes out swinging whatever she wants to take control. But I heard in your explanation was a lot of the problems that the Christian Church has had from back then.[00:22:12] And now as the interpretation of scripture, and we're going to get into a lot of that here in just a minute, it's all on how we look at things. So the white people wanted to focus on Ephesians slaves, obey your masters, not considering the context of it, you know, cause you know, the, the Bible is, uh, is from the middle east.[00:22:31] You know, the, it was, it wasn't taken out of context is what they were doing. Right. The black people are going well, no, let, let my people go Pharaoh, you know, all the slave master pharaohs. So it was all about how you look at things now, explain to people exactly what an evangelical is, what would they're supposed to be versus, and then what they became for Donald Trump, [00:23:00] because then you hear that all over the media all the time.[00:23:03] Evangelical evangelical is what the fuck is it? [00:23:09] Marcia: Okay. So I was raised in the American Baptist tradition, which, uh, even today I would say is on the far, far more progressive end of the various flavors of Baptist denominations that there are because there's a lot. Um, and so. They're typically the, um, the highlight or the, the singular feature that distinguishes evangelicals, I think is this concept of baptism as being born again, um, uh, believers, baptism, where you need to say something like I accept Jesus Christ as my personal savior.[00:23:56] And so once you are saved, [00:24:00] you are saved, uh, forever and you are promised to turn a life. Um, that's not unlike my tradition in the Episcopal church, however, we baptize babies. So, uh, Baptist don't like that. They, you have to make a reasonable decision on your own to be baptized. Whereas in our tradition, we will baptize an infant, but they have got parents to raise them up in the tree.[00:24:27] And also when they come of age, they are confirmed. Will they make some of these, uh, well, they take the baptismal covenant. Um, but what I love about our tradition is you are born into the faith versus having to be, uh, subjected to some sort of a formula. If you will. There's also a much stronger, uh, component of, uh, uh, taking the Bible.[00:24:56] Literally. Uh, in some [00:25:00] instances we would call this fundamentalism where there's absolutely no room for interpretation. And, um, so, and, and that has been used to subordinate women wives, submit to your husbands slaves, obey your masters, all the stuff that comes in the epistle. Which is much more about salvation and rules and regulations.[00:25:27] The gospels are more about grace, compassion and forgiveness. So the, the evangelical, um, mindset is much more in the pistols than it is about the gospels. Um, and the particularly the liturgical traditions, Roman Catholicism, the Episcopal church Lutheranism, um, we, uh, orthodoxy, we are very much more about the gospels.[00:25:58] So those are some of the [00:26:00] differences. [00:26:00] De'Vannon: So when, so when you say that they are born into it, do you mean like a physical birth or a spiritual birth where you're saying they're born into your denomination? [00:26:10] Marcia: Well, when a child is born in our congregation, Uh, that child is brought to us at an age, you know, sometimes as young as a month, but, you know, as infants and they're baptized, uh, they're not making a self profession, their godparents make that on their behalf and are responsible for helping to bring them up, uh, into the church life.[00:26:35] And so the life of Christian discipleship and then the child wants a teenager is confirmed and makes his or her own affirmation of faith and is the Bishop lays hands on. And, uh, the child is, uh, that's the end of the form, the formal formation. Into the Christian life. So that's what [00:27:00] I mean. Whereas if I'm born in the Baptist church, when I was born, the, uh, pastor would put Rosebud on the pulpit for every baby born into the congregation.[00:27:10] So Rosebud was on the pulp at the first Sunday after I was born. And then I was dedicated at some point early on, uh, but there was no ritual or a sacramental aspect to that. And then when I felt old enough, when I felt ready, I went up to the front for an altar call, um, and profess that Jesus was my personal savior.[00:27:35] And then I did a baptism class and then I was baptized. [00:27:41] De'Vannon: I sometimes wonder so across so many different denominations with so many different rights rituals and passages, you know, like where did it all come from? I suppose most people would say some leader was divinely giving a message by God to do it.[00:27:57] And my compassion is for people who are [00:28:00] not Christians, or maybe don't believe in anything. When they're examining all the world, all the world's religions, Christianity, it looks like a clusterfuck and it's very confusing and everything like that. And so I'm going to be doing some work, you know, in the coming months too, on my second book that try to go in there and clear some of that out.[00:28:27] And so I love your website because it, it, I think it takes a lot of leaps and strides in that direction as well. And I think people like you and me who believe in Jesus, who are willing to say the church is fucked, but you know, there's still a way, you know, to God. We don't the, the, this fuckery in the news and everything doesn't represent everybody who calls on the Lord.[00:28:52] And, and we're going to keep saying that loud and proud and stand against the confusion that seems to have in golf, what it means to be a [00:29:00] Christian these days. [00:29:02] Marcia: Yes. Amen. My brother. And that's one of the most important parts of my message. I am very ticked off about the way that Christianity is represented in the public square, which is part of what Stokes this mission.[00:29:18] Because I am here to say, and many, many like me and you are here to say, this is not what Jesus was about. And this is not the discipleship to which we are called. We are called to repair the breach. We are called to be a healing bond. In a, in a broken world, we are not called to be mean and exclusive and destructive and controlling and abusive.[00:29:48] And so, uh, it, it really rankles me that progressive Christians are always, almost always on the reactive instead of putting our [00:30:00] own messages out there about the love and the incredible love and compassion of Jesus. So we've got a lot, it's a tall order because we're really bad at this. [00:30:12] De'Vannon: Well, we're just starting with like you and me.[00:30:16] We'll get it done. So I'm going to go ahead and switch gears right now. Typically your blog within your web fabulous blog I've ever read in my life. It's colorful that great picture. You know, it's high lit well and everything like that, but more importantly, it tackles issues that are super relevant. And we're actually going to do a three series, three separate podcast interviews talking about things, revolving around LGBT QIA people and where we stand with God and exactly how to read the scriptures that people [00:31:00] have been used using to abuse us for years.[00:31:05] Um, uh, I'm gonna read the titles of all three of them that we're only going to talk about the first, the first one is called Paul misunderstood homosexuality. And here's why I think that's a very bold title. It's important because so many people give Paul's. Damn credit. And, um, and it's important to get in there and to dismantle and break down exactly what the man was talking about.[00:31:31] And to remember that he was just a man and that he was not the Lord. And then second one is going to be Leviticus lacks and understanding of loving LGBT relationships. And the third one is going to be stopped clobbering, LGBT people with the Bible exclamation mark. And, um, so those two are going to be another episodes, but the blogs are already live at Marsha's website.[00:31:54] And all of that will be listed in the show notes. Also in [00:32:00] another caveat, before we start talking about the apostle Paul from your blog as well, just briefly, I wanted us to talk about your most recent blog post, which is called stepping over the poor to reach the moon. Since we just had this whole race to race, to space this week, I thought it was a hot damn tone, deaf a mess, but I wanted you to kinda tell us what you thought about it since this is trending, like right now as we speak.[00:32:29] Yeah. Yeah. [00:32:30] Marcia: You thought the blog was a hot mess or, yeah. [00:32:33] De'Vannon: Yeah. Sorry. I'm sorry. Maybe I wasn't clear. Now. I thought Jeff Bezos and that other fool all up on television in the middle of a global pandemic, when people can't eat, racing the space and making a whole big show out of it. And the, and the bullshit way Jeff Bezos was like, Hey, thanks everyone at Amazon for pain.[00:32:54] I thought they were tone deaf. And I thought they were hot. Damn. Yeah. In Middlefield. [00:33:00] Okay. [00:33:03] Marcia: Did you read my blog? Yep. Okay. So I, uh, I didn't really know a lot about this. I've I've been, uh, started. Uh, sequestering myself to try and get my book finished. So I have not been paying a lot of attention to the news, but when I resurfaced the other day, I read all about this as you call it hot mess, and that's indeed what it is.[00:33:29] And I thought, okay, well, before I just automatically condemn, uh, the use of private resources to gain knowledge about space, let me read about it. So I get all the issues about, you know, all this money feeding the poor I'm I'm right on it with everybody. Who's so disgusted, but I did read an op-ed, uh, by Don Lincoln who works at the fair me accelerator laboratory.[00:34:00] [00:34:00] And he did talk about how this is not the first time that private interests have been involved in, uh, developing space technology. And there are some real benefits to humanity by being able to. Um, expedite learning how to launch rockets that can carry much heavier payloads, like to get a Hubble telescope into space, to monitor the health of the earth.[00:34:26] Uh, you know, that's obviously a very important key, uh, concept and, uh, private enterprise is able to, uh, develop space technology much faster than NASA because there's so much bureaucracy and all of that. So anyway, um, there are some true benefits to private enterprise developing better air aeronautical space equipment.[00:34:56] Uh, what really bothers me, [00:35:00] what th the, the gospel story, the parable that Jesus told that popped in my head was Lazarus and the rich man. Right. And I think that, uh, it's one of Jesus's most brilliant. And damning, uh, parables that he cooks up in order to teach people about inequity and, uh, a lack of compassion.[00:35:25] And so, uh, you know, here's, here's the rich man in his fine purple robes. And of course, purple dye was just very rare and sought after it was the color of royalty. Uh, it was a really big deal. It doesn't sound like a big deal to us when reread it with 21st century eyes, but to wear purple linen and have splendor every day was, you know, most people were just living on a dirt floor and just scraping by.[00:35:56] So we've got very, you know, something's [00:36:00] never changed and we've got a lot of the same sort of things going on. We have this evolved ger and equity between rich and poor across the world. And here's these two guys spending. A billion dollars to fly this thing into space. And so my take on it was, I think sometimes even though people are jerks, uh, that good things can come from what has happened with the blue origin rocket, which looks like a male member, I might say anyway.[00:36:37] Um, so, uh, it looked like wealth porn to me when that thing was taking off anyway. Uh, but I, I think we can strike a balance. I think we can hopefully prevail upon Jeff Bezos and Elon mosque and who doesn't employ [00:37:00] nearly as many people, um, that there, we have to be a good steward with what we're blessed with.[00:37:07] And that means we, it needs to be comprehensive. And the fact that Jeff Bezos has been, uh, very seriously involved in union busting and, um, treating his employees pretty badly. And then to have the temerity, the tone deafness, as you said to thank people who are, even though they work for his company are still having to have food stamps.[00:37:33] It was pretty awful, right. Um, sorry. I think we need to get away from either right or wrong or either, or I think, uh, we need to prevail upon him to get his act together. Um, and hopefully he will, hopefully at some point somebody will get to him to explain to him that if this is all you're going to do with your excess money, then this is not enough [00:38:00] here, here then.[00:38:03] Yeah. And I think that will happen. You know, the Teamsters international Teamsters has targeted them. Uh, Amazon. And I think some of the big hitting unions are gonna make this really hard to, uh, defeat a union formalization, uh, in a subsequent time like it did in Bessemer, Alabama. [00:38:22] De'Vannon: Well, his trip to space is very polarizing and my heart goes out to the people who do work for him.[00:38:31] And people look up to any kind of celebrity or person who they think has more to them and really, really hang on their every word and action. And I know the great broke the hearts of the people who, like you said, are there, who work for food stamps. And my boyfriend's one of his best friends over in Atlanta works at Amazon and he tells him the horror stories of what a hot fucking mess it is.[00:38:55] And, um, And it's less slap in the face, you know, [00:39:00] on the fly up there. He should have flown his ass up there quietly, you know, with little pomp and circumstance and just let it been about research or send someone else. But the way he did it flashing his purple robes as you, uh, yes. [00:39:15] Marcia: It's categorized Pinos, stepping over the, you know, the poor dying man that, that just makes me [00:39:24] De'Vannon: crazy.[00:39:25] Right. Or he could have just done it and just shut the fuck up about it, or just not mentioned they employed. I mean, you know, [00:39:33] Marcia: it's just, so what a gaff, what an incredible gaff, but perhaps an insensitive go ahead. [00:39:42] De'Vannon: Perhaps that's what was needed to provoke that enough action to get him to get something done.[00:39:47] Because I think that that really angered a lot of people. And like a very bitter way that they're not gonna just like get over, you know, like [00:40:00] tomorrow,[00:40:03] Marcia: but this is also very much related to, uh, what we're seeing emerge say out of the black lives movement, black lives matter movement. This is about exposing, um, you know, incredibly rich capitalists who want to keep the system in place so they can continue to exploit and do basically whatever the hell they want, no matter the farm and difficulty and suffering, it causes for other people.[00:40:36] This is all about, you know, the underclass and this transcends color, but it's about that. Um, his sense of entitlement and white supremacy to be able to treat people like this. So that he can, you know, have this vainglorious attempted, you know, becoming a new [00:41:00] son in the galaxy, uh, while other people, this is coming off the backs of other people who never signed up for this.[00:41:12] It's it's about, um, you know, who's good enough and who isn't [00:41:17] De'Vannon: well, let's see what happens over the coming nine months or so. We'll see what the fallout is. [00:41:26] Marcia: Yeah, exactly. Exactly. But this is why there's been so much attention. Rightly so finally. I mean, how disgusted do we have to be? To start dealing with these inequities that live in our society, somewhat under an invisibility cloak from Harry Potter.[00:41:48] You know, they just kind of, we even in bobbin or around. Yep. Why, why does something like George Floyd's lynching [00:42:00] have to happen for us to get a clue?[00:42:06] De'Vannon: Amen. And amen sister. So now we're going to shift gears back to, uh, Mr. Paul, the apostle and how he misunderstood homosexuality. And here's why now I love this blog because you, you dig really into the mentality. You touched on this earlier, how you were saying, like, some people have more in a pistol mindset, there's more rules and regulations and seeing kind of a throwback to the old Testament in a way.[00:42:34] And then some more gospel wishing strictly Jesus. Nobody else talking to speak of, and it's more loving and things like that. And you say like, Paul has a focus on misconduct. You compare him to today's kids. Today's evangelicals. Now that that's a strong comparison. May you talk about earlier what an evangelical is?[00:42:58] And now you're [00:43:00] putting Paul in that same boat to break that down to us. The people love their, their precious Paul, the apostle, and they quote him all the time, especially to tell us the people, what we're not supposed to be doing and, and women. And, uh, so how was Paul like? Um, Jerry Falwell.[00:43:26] Marcia: I've got my issues. I've got my issues with St. Paul, but I'm not going to equate him with Jerry Falwell Jr. Yeah.[00:43:39] De'Vannon: That's all we have for the free version of the sex drugs and Jesus podcast, my beautiful people, but Hey, have your vomming on what you're hearing and want to take it to that next level. Then perhaps a subscription may be in order access to full length episodes only cost $2 and 99 cents a month.

Rashi: Originally, not everyone was able to say Hallel on their own, this is why our mishna (30.6) teaches that if one hears it from an adult male he is yotzei and if he hears it from a woman he must repeat the words himself. In Rava's time everyone was able to say Hallel on their own, but they still followed certain customs to remember how Hallel was originally said. The original custom was that the crowd [of the uneducated] was silent while the Shatz recited Hallel aloud [and the educated said the words silently along with him], and after every phrase, they [the uneducated] would respond “Hallelukah”. The first “Hallelukah” was proclaimed even by the educated. They [the uneducated] would also repeat the first verse of every chapter. Rava now delineates the current custom [of his time]: The Shatz says Hallelukah, and everyone shouts Hallelukah. This shows that originally everyone responded to the first Hallelukah. The Shatz says Hallelu avdei Hashem and everyone shouts Hallelukah. This shows that originally the uneducated responded “Hallelukah” after every phrase [read to them by an adult male]. The Shatz says Hodu LaHashem and everyone repeats it. This shows that originally the uneducated repeated the first verse of every chapter. The Shatz says Ana Hashem hoshia na and everyone repeats it. This shows that originally the uneducated repeated the entire Hallel [if it was read to them by a woman]. The Shatz says Ana Hashem hatzlicha na and everyone repeats it. This shows that if one wishes to repeat the verses he may do so (30.6). The Shatz says Boruch Habo and they [are silent and] respond “B'sheim Hashem”. This shows the principle of shomeia k'oneh for people who cannot repeat at all.

================================================== SUSCRIBETE https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1 ==================================================   VAMOS A JUGAR Devoción Matutina Para Menores 2021 Narrado por: Linda Rumrrill Desde: Gran Canaria, España Una cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church   08 DE ENERO ¿QUÉ SIGNIFICA ALELUYA? Subraya la respuesta correcta a. ¡Bendito sea el nombre del Señor! b. ¡Viva el Señor! c. ¡Alabar al Señor! ¿Cuántas veces has exclamado ¡aleluya!? Esta palabra se encuentra muchas veces en la Biblia, sobre todo, en los Salmos. ¿Sabes qué significa aleluya? Proviene del verbo hebreo halal, que significa «alabar»; y del nombre de Dios en hebreo: Yaweh. De modo que significa «alabar al Señor». Cuando los hebreos estaban contentos y querían alabar al Señor exclamaban: ¡Hallelu yah! que significa «¡Alabado sea Yaweh!». Por eso en español decimos: ¡jaleluya! ¿Sabes cómo lo dicen en inglés?: hallelujah! ¿Y en francés?: alléluia! ¿Se escriben muy parecido, ¿verdad? ¡Todos podemos alabar a Dios con un jaleluya!, no importa el idioma que hablemos. ¿Conoces el famoso Aleluya que compuso el músico George Friedrich Händel? Si no lo conoces, pídele a un adulto que lo busque en Internet. Escúchalo y alaba con Händel al Señor. ¡Cada vez que escuches un «jaleluya!» en la glesia, en la escuela o en casa... recuerda su significado y alaba al Creador del cielo y de la tierra igual que hacían los hebreos antiguamente. ¿Sabes cómo se dice «aleluya» en otros idiomas? Averigualo y escríbelo en tu Diario de Oración con diferentes colores.

Count your blessings, big & small... all of them matter. In this episode, I sat down with Cass Dodson, speaker Extraordinaire to talk about finding gratitude in the season of Thanksgiving.

Aleluia! Como é bom cantar louvores ao nosso Deus; como é agradável prestar-lhe uma adoração. Salmos 147:1 Aleluia! Aleluia é um grito de louvor de origem judaica. Hallelu significa " Louvai! Adorai!" ou " Elogio" Yah uma forma abreviada do nome de Deus ( fonte: site Wikipedia.org ) Então, fale cante Aleluia! Bom é cantar Aleluia Bom é louvar a Deus Sim com toda alegria A ele bendizer...

HALLELU everybody, we're back with another Ruview! This week mama Ru challenges the queens to convert the judges to worship an iconic diva of their choosing! Find out which Queens gave us the spirit and who had a pew missteps!

In this shiur we discuss the last Halleluyah in Pesukei DeZimrah, the final chapter of Tehillim (150). We look at the text, the ideas, the Minhagim, the importance of the Tehila, and various Halachot which are learned out of this Perek as well.

Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelu! Lectionary Date: May 19, 2019 [5th Sunday of Easter, Year C] Tim’s up for a dip into the Hallels of Psalm 148.

Tehilim Perek 148 Hello everybody. Today’s NachDaily will discuss Tehilim Chapter 148. We continue in the Pesukey D’zimra as we wind down with the last few chapters. In this perek the author specifies the various parts of the creation that praise God, beginning with the heavens, then moving on down to the angels and stars. From the highest of the spiritual worlds to the lowest, they are all called upon to praise Hashem. The perek then specifies the specific areas of the physical creation that praise Him. The earth, great sea monsters, the depths, fire and hail, snow and smoke, mountains and hills, fruit trees and insects, are called upon to ‘Hallelu es Hashem, praise God.’ Kings, princes, judges, men, women, children, old and young. Last but not least, Am Yisrael is called upon to praise Him. The Malbim explains that there are several categories in the perek. First - the higher spiritual worlds all the way down to our world. Second - the arba yesodos, 4 foundational elements which encompass this world: afar, earth, eish, fire, mayim, water, and avir, air. Third - the 4 levels of creation: domeim, inanimate objects, tsomeach, vegetation, chai something that’s alive, and midaber, the pinnacle of creation, referring to people who have been granted the ability to speak. The perek opens with the words: הַ֥לְלוּ יָ֨הּ ׀ הַֽלְל֣וּ אֶת־יְ֭הוָה מִן־הַשָּׁמַ֑יִם הַֽ֝לְל֗וּהוּ בַּמְּרוֹמִֽים׃ Halleluyah. Praise God from the heavens; praise Him on high. Rebbe Nachman, in Lekutey Maharan, Lesson 232, explains that when a person says this perek he’s actually commanding each thing mentioned to give praise to God. It is therefore fitting for every person, on saying this perek in the morning davening, to be filled with enthusiasm in praise to Hashem. Imagine that! By saying this perek, we’re actually activating and commanding all of creation to praise Him based on our words! There can be nothing more exciting and empowering than realizing that we are the force that activates creation to do its job. May we merit saying this chapter every morning with great energy and enthusiasm, knowing that Hashem gave us the ability to command the creation to serve Him. We’ll be moving on to Tehilim Perek 149. One more after that, and we’ve completed the Sefer!

Guess who's back/back again/we are back/tell a friend. I'm almost positive we've used that in episode notes before, but this is where we are. Season 9 of The Walking Dead, otherwise known as the last full season we'll acknowledge, rolls on and we're here for it. We did not mind this mid-season premiere at all, save for our usual Daryl and Negan disdain.   "You were right, Michonne." HALLELU!!!! We were tired of Rick being the only one putting some respect on her name. Keep that same energy...forever, Aaron and the rest of y'all ingrates. Even Tara fixed her face to speak to Michonne right when some real ish went down. Speaking of real ish, Tammy always seems ready to serve up some southern justice. We gotta watch her...   What we didn't need to watch was Negan's version of "This is Your Life" only for him to realize that no one was dumb or desperate enough to wait around for eight years hoping that he may show back up at the Sanctuary. No one but him, apparently.   And in the messiest thing to hit this show since Abe dumbed Rosita for Sasha, we were quite intrigued, if not utterly confused by Rosita's love pentagon she's got going (baby makes 5, ya know). We need to stick we her; she's got all the drama!   Subscribe to get the newest episodes: Apple | Stitcher | Google Podcasts | Spotify | search "Two Dead Chicks" wherever you get your podcasts!   Support: Rate and review us on Apple Podcasts!

***SPOILER WARNING!! if you've not seen all of the show, you might hear a couple of spoilers in this episode!*** Gentlemen! Start your engines... This IS RuPaul's best friend race. In excited anticipation of season nine, we're talking all things RuPaul's Drag Race. Party! Elaine introduces Lynsay to some key episodes before we settle in to share the T about the seasons so far. From Bianca Del Rio crushes and Shangela popping out of a box (Hallelu!) to Raven's original shadiness and a sincere love for legend, icon, star: Trixie Mattel, we're packing as much as we can into this episode. With the caveat that Elaine was hopped up on cold medicine and 40ish minutes is *absolutely* not enough to discuss all we'd want to. OH AT ALL. Tell us which queens we unforgivably forgot to discuss at: http://twitter.com/itsthosegals thosegalsgotmail@gmail.com Or individually at http://twitter.com/misswestendgirl http://twitter.com/elaineinglasgow

It's our 100th show! Hallelu-jah! James tells a series of stories about the fights he's lost over the years and the one fight he won, but never fought!
