July 8, 2026 - Wednesday Bible Class In this episode Caden walks through the life of Timothy in the New Testament, using his story as a roadmap for how families, mentors, and congregations can develop faithful, effective servants of Christ. Caden outlines four main points — Timothy's upbringing, personality, reputation, and defining traits — and draws connections between biblical examples and practical church life. The episode examines Timothy's spiritual foundation: the influence of his mother Eunice and grandmother Lois, his early acquaintance with Scripture (Acts 16; 2 Timothy 1:5; 3:14–15), and a recent Pew Research study about how household religious practice affects retention. The host stresses the central role of the home in training young people and offers concrete ideas for building a child's faith (attendance, family Bible study, visible example, church involvement). Mentorship is a key theme. The speaker explores Paul's investment in Timothy (Titus 2; Philippians; 1 Corinthians) and the importance of both receiving and giving mentorship. Passages such as Proverbs 1 and 1 Timothy 4 are used to encourage younger and newer Christians to accept teaching, grow in knowledge, and set a godly example in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity. Timothy's personality — commonly understood as timid or shy — is discussed candidly. The class reviews verses that show Paul encouraging Timothy (1 Corinthians 16; 1 Timothy 4; 2 Timothy 1:6–7) and highlights how Timothy overcame fear and insecurity through obedience, faithfulness, and willingness to step outside his comfort zone. Reputation and dependability are analyzed through examples in Acts and Paul's letters. Timothy was well spoken of in Lystra and Iconium, trusted to check on churches and to teach correctly (Acts 16; Philippians 2; 1 Thessalonians; 1 Timothy). The speaker emphasizes how consistent, humble choices build a reputation that opens doors for service. Concrete traits from Timothy's life — devotion to Scripture, faithfulness, selflessness (including his willingness to be circumcised to reach Jews), and sacrificial service — are highlighted as patterns worth imitating. The lesson closes with practical takeaways for listeners: invest in children's spiritual foundations, mentor the young and new, don't let personality or fear prevent service, guard your reputation, remain devoted to study and growth, and live selflessly as Jesus taught (Matthew 16:24). The episode is carried out as an interactive teaching session with audience participation and Q&A moments; there are no external guests. Listeners can expect Scripture-based exposition, real-life examples, statistics to frame the issue, and actionable steps for families and church members who want to raise and mentor the next generation of faithful Christians.

Send us Fan Mail“Be the hammer, not the nail” sounds like a slogan until you've got someone's weight across your chest and you have to figure out a way out. That quick jiu jitsu moment is the spark for a bigger conversation about mindset, resilience, and what it really takes to move forward when life feels heavy. I share how a simple reversal on the mat becomes a reminder that progress almost always starts with action, not wishing, not waiting, and definitely not freezing. We dig into the uncomfortable truth behind self improvement: nobody becomes great without losing first. Being second place, getting outworked, or realizing you're not there yet can either crush you or sharpen you. I also talk about using clear metrics to improve, whether that's in training, fitness, or creative work like stand-up comedy. Growth is easier to chase when you can measure it, and it's more sustainable when you focus on being better than yesterday instead of comparing yourself to everyone else. Then we get practical about time management and productivity. You don't “find time,” you create time by cutting waste and, if needed, starting your day earlier. Life isn't just work and sleep, it's a full mix of physical health, mental health, emotional balance, relationships, and ambition. If you want to protect what matters and become harder to break under pressure, jiu jitsu is one of the clearest teachers I know. If this hits home, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a quick review. What's one area of your life where you need to stop being the nail and start making a move?Support the showComedywww.BenjaWelldone.comIG: @BenjaWelldoneSupporting:-*Military/Law,-*Wrestling/Jiu-jitsu,-*Savages/Self Motivated People-*Comedy#WarAndLaughs, REPRESENT. Biz-Email: Benja@WelldoneComedy.com #WARandLaughs

Το House of the Dragon επιστρέφει για την 3η του σεζόν και το POP για τις Δύσκολες Ώρες καβαλάει κι αυτό τον δράκο του και όπως πάντα, ακολουθεί τη δράση από κοντά, επεισόδιο μετά το επεισόδιο.Εκτάκτως λόγω Οδύσσειας, αυτή την εβδομάδα σχολιάζουμε μαζί το 5ο και το 6ο επεισόδιο της 3ης σεζόν, με spoilers και για τα δύο!Κάποιες φορές πρέπει να προσέχεις τι εύχεσαι! Η Rhaenyra είναι τώρα βασίλισσα, αλλά με τι κόστος; Και με τι καθημερινές δυσκολίες στον τρόπο που κυβερνά; Γιατί κινδυνεύει να χάσει το Tumbleton; Γιατί προσπαθεί να αποδράσει από το κάστρο η Alicent; Τι μυστικό της κρύβουν όλοι γύρω της; Γιατί είναι τσαντισμένοι μαζί της ακόμα και σύμμαχοί της, όπως ο Corlys ο Velarion; Και τελοσπάντων, τι θέλουν όλοι από αυτήν πια;;;Τριγύρω τα πράγματα δεν είναι λιγότερο μπλεγμένα. Ποια είναι η μοίρα του Βαρύ Αρσενικού Criston Cole; Ποιο είναι το πιο απρόσμενο ερωτικό τριγωνάκι του βασιλείου; Πού πάει και μπλέκει ο Ζοχαδιασμένος Corlys ο Velarion; Γιατί τα πράγματα δεν είναι όπως τα περίμενε ο Hugh o Hammer; Τι συμβαίνει με την κατοχή στο Tumbleton; Τι στα κομμάτια κάνει ο Aemond στο pocket universe που είναι παγιδευμένος; Θα την παλέψει ο Daeron; Γιατί ξαφνικά δε μας τα λέει καλά η Mysaria; Και πραγματικά, ποιο είναι το πρόβλημα του Ormund; #HouseoftheDragon #HotD #RhaenyraTargaryen #GameofThrones

This week I've been getting RAF Dragon Corps Book 3 ready to send to my editor. After finishing the draft, I've been working through the manuscript one last time, checking that everything is in place before handing it over.I've also started drafting The Hammer and the Crown, the fourth book in my Ravenglass Legends series. It feels good to be back with Ragnar and Maja and moving forward with the next stage of the story.On the reading front, I'm halfway through Soulsmith by Will Wight. I really enjoyed Unsouled, but I've found parts of the second book harder to follow. I'm going to keep reading for now, as so many readers love the Cradle series, and I'm hoping the story finds its footing again.I also talk about feeling increasingly tired. I haven't had a proper break since our trip to Rome in May, so I've decided to take next week off and give myself some time to recharge.

In this segment guest host Garland Nixon highlights Candace Owens' release of a new batch of texts between her and Charlie Kirk proving not only that the two were close but also that her claims of Charlie's break with the Israel lobby was real. Garland's guest, Lionel of the Lionel Nation show, breaks down the Kirk murder case, arguing that Tyler Robinson's conviction is far from certain due to a fatal lack of physical evidence. He emphasizes that ballistics tests on the bullet fragment recovered from Kirk's body were inconclusive, meaning the rifle found near the scene cannot be definitively tied to the murder. Lionel also dismisses the importance of alleged text confessions and the authenticity of online communications, noting they are unreliable under the corpus delicti rule and that people falsely confess to crimes all the time.  He concludes the prosecution's case is weak, pointing out that Robinson didn't actually admit guilt when he turned himself in and that the "confessions" in texts read as absurd and uncharacteristic. Plus segments on Erika Kirk's refusal to reveal what she's done with Charlie's body and Ukraine expanding the war with an attack on an Iranian ship in the Caspian Sea. Also featuring Kurt Metzger!

SSPX is a faction within Catholicism that considers the reforms of the 1960s (Vatican II) to be wrong and heretical. They seek to reverse the Catholic Church's more progressive recent direction.Subscribe to Leaving Eden Podcast on YouTube!https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ4q94gAnsoW2jME4SvVrrQJoin our Patreon for extended, uncensored, and ad-free versions of most of our episodes, as well as other patron perks and bonus content!https://www.patreon.com/LeavingEdenPodcastJoin our Facebook group to join in the discussion with other fans!https://www.facebook.com/groups/edenexodusJoin our subreddit!

Rob Pizzola sits down solo for a candid state-of-the-channel monologue, no guest, no educational breakdown, just an honest look at where Circles Off is and how it got here. Rob talks through the origins of the channel with Johnny from Betstamp, the plateau that led to the pivot into Circle Back, and the business reality behind The Hammer that most viewers never see, including years of building the company without taking a salary. He also gets into what actually drives him to keep making educational content, why bad betting advice in the space gets under his skin, and why he still does this even though he doesn't have to. This one runs long and stays unpolished on purpose.

1. Trump Administration's 50% Tariff on Canadian Goods Main points: The administration argues that Canada has unfairly discriminated against U.S. products, particularly: American automobiles Alcohol products Dairy exports The tariff is presented as a way to protect: American workers Manufacturers Farmers Domestic industries The policy reportedly uses Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930, a rarely used authority allowing tariffs on countries deemed to discriminate against U.S. commerce. Not all Canadian goods would be affected: Energy products Fish Critical minerals Other strategic goods are reportedly exempt. The commentary argues that Canada depends more on access to the U.S. market than vice versa and predicts Canada may eventually negotiate. 2. Minnesota Welfare Fraud and IRS Investigation Main points: Fraud could total in the billions of dollars The "Feeding Our Future" fraud scandal and broader allegations involving public benefits programs. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is said to have announced: IRS audits of financial institutions Investigations by FinCEN (Financial Crimes Enforcement Network) A federal task force to examine money laundering tied to the fraud Follow the path of funds after they were allegedly stolen and determine whether: Banks Money service businesses Financial intermediaries knowingly facilitated money laundering or ignored suspicious activity.

"Most of the money problems we talk about with Bitcoin — they're not money problems. They're time problems." Scott Dedels — founder of Block Rewards and author of The Age of Time — says the clock is a technology. It was invented about 600 years ago, and somewhere along the way we forgot it was ever invented at all. His claim: the problem of time is upstream of the problem of money. Fiat was downstream of a civilization that had already agreed to be ruled by a machine that only moves forward, in the direction of consumption. We went from asking what is time to only ever asking what time is it. We get into the Prague Orloj and the birth of mechanical time, the 1944 essay that turned time into a commodity, Saturn as civilization's invisible operating system, why we stopped building 300-year cathedrals, AI and the information hyperstream — and Bitcoin as a ten-minute heartbeat no one controls.

June 24, 2026 - Wednesday PM Bible Class This episode is a classroom-style exploration of Barnabas, the New Testament figure known as the "son of encouragement." Recorded as part of a summer teaching series, the speaker walks listeners through key passages in Acts (chapters 4, 9, 11, 13, and 15) to trace Barnabas' life, ministry, and influence on the early church. Topics covered include Barnabas' background (Joseph the Levite from Cyprus), his generosity in selling land to support believers, and his defining role encouraging and strengthening the church at Antioch. The episode looks closely at how Barnabas bridged the gap between the church and Saul (Paul), advocated for second chances (notably with John Mark), and helped develop emerging leaders—demonstrating humility, courage, and sacrificial support. Listeners will hear Scripture readings and practical illustrations, including personal anecdotes from the class (camp mailboxes of encouragement, Devo leadership) and contemporary analogies (nicknames and team roles) to highlight how encouragement functions as ministry. The class discusses why churches struggle to accept changed people, how encouragers see potential rather than past failures, and the risks and sacrifices involved in standing with the rejected. Contributors and voices in the discussion include the class leader and responses from members. The episode emphasizes five practical lessons: encouragement changes lives; godly people look beyond a person's past; great leaders develop other leaders; encouragers also need courage; and godly people help restore failures. Expect a study grounded in Acts with clear, applicable takeaways for church life—how to give hope, mentor others, offer second chances, and use generosity and courage to advance spiritual growth in your community.   Duration 37:50

This week, the world finally discovers what we've been saying for years: Gen X wasn't forgotten—we were quietly keeping the entire damn machine running. New Census numbers show America's 45-to-64 crowd is shrinking fast, which means the people who know where all the bodies are buried (and why you never reboot that one production server) are disappearing without a replacement bench. Meanwhile, Meta continues its speedrun toward becoming history's most aggressively unlikeable company, staring down a potential $1.4 trillion lawsuit over social media addiction while simultaneously launching AI features that happily remix your Instagram photos unless you remember to opt out of Zuckerberg's latest privacy experiment. Because nothing says "we've learned our lesson" quite like doubling down.The AI circus somehow gets even weirder. Illinois actually passed meaningful AI safety legislation—an event so rare it qualifies as science fiction—while Sam Altman reportedly floated the idea of AI companies handing the U.S. government an ownership stake. Anthropic published another paper that's already inspiring breathless declarations that Claude is "thinking," because apparently matrix multiplication now counts as an inner monologue. Cloudflare finally decided websites shouldn't have to give away their content for free to AI crawlers, researchers discovered AI agents could consume enough electricity to make Google Search look like a bicycle generator, and Amazon's Mechanical Turk is being replaced by the very AI it spent two decades secretly training. Progress: where everyone works harder, gets paid less, and the power grid cries.Elsewhere in Tech Hell™, Waymo robotaxis turned San Francisco traffic into an even bigger parking lot, Google lost another multibillion-dollar antitrust appeal in Europe, the FCC found fresh ways to make internet bills less transparent, and Midjourney is demanding Hollywood explain its own AI habits in court. We also dig into a disturbing lawsuit involving Grok-generated abuse imagery and what it says about AI guardrails, explain how to stop Meta from feeding your Instagram into its latest AI experiments, discuss why tech workers increasingly feel AI isn't replacing them so much as making them miserable faster, and close things out with the usual Media Candy, Apps & Doodads, and library recommendations to help you survive another week inside the techno-dystopian fever dream we apparently call "the future."Sponsors:Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.
