Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss one of the best known events and figures in Irish history. In 1014 Brian Boru, High King of Ireland, defeated the Hiberno-Norse forces of Sigtrygg Silkbeard and allies near their Dublin stronghold, with Brian losing his life on the day of battle. Soon chroniclers in Ireland and abroad were recording and retelling the events, raising the status of Brian Boru as one who sacrificed himself for Ireland, Christ-like, a connection reinforced by the battle taking place on Good Friday. While some of the facts are contested, the Battle of Clontarf became a powerful symbol of what a united Ireland could achieve by force against invaders.WithSeán Duffy Professor of Medieval Irish and Insular History at Trinity College DublinMáire Ní Mhaonaigh Professor of Celtic and Medieval Studies at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of St John's College, CambridgeAnd Alex Woolf Professor of Medieval Studies at the University of St AndrewsProducer: Simon TillotsonReading list:Howard B.

Chat with me at UncommonTEEN.com!Ladies, we have a big God and He wants to do big things in your life!Isaiah 26:3 says that God will keep us in perfect peace when we keep our minds focused on Him because we trust in Him. You may be walking through a challenging time right now. You may be walking through a hard diagnosis right now. You may be walking through a friendship that failed. No matter what you are going through, there is hope. Keep your eyes on God and watch what He does for you! It only took a small amount of faith to change the whole trajectory of your life when you gave your life to Jesus. With a small amount of faith, the biggest miracle was performed. You went from darkness to light. From being a slave to sin to being a daughter of the most High King. You were saved from hell and now get to live forever with Jesus. If, with just a little bit of faith, God was able to perform the greatest miracle ever, why does it seem like we need to have a huge amount of faith to receive other miracles, such as healing or even making great friends? Maybe you have heard this saying before, or maybe you have said it yourself…I sure hope not! But if you have, please know that it is not in any way encouraging or Biblical! But the saying is, “Well, you didn't pray hard enough.” Or “I guess you didn't have enough faith.”The problem isn't the amount of faith that we have. Jesus even told us that if we had faith the size of a mustard seed, we could move mountains. The problem is that we need to learn how to release the faith that we do have. In Matthew 17:14-21, the disciples tried to cast demons out of a boy like they had done many times before, but this time, they couldn't understand why they weren't able to do it. In verse 20, Jesus doesn't tell them that they needed more faith. He actually says to them that it was because of their unbelief. So, the problem wasn't more faith, it was that they needed to kick doubt out. Unbelief will override faith. Ladies, we have some exciting news! The SOAR Community is now FREE!!

God is King: Do Not be Afraid

By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king's anger; he persevered because he saw him who is invisible. (Hebrews 11:27)   If we said it once, it's worth saying again: God is King, not Pharaoh or any other ruler past, present, or future.  Recall the words from my devotion two days ago.  There the author of Hebrews stated that Moses' parents were not afraid of the king.  Now Moses is the one “not fearing the king's anger.” In that devotion, I wrote: “For someone to be unafraid of a king—whether that be the edict of an ancient emperor or a modern day elected President or Prime Minister—it means they have a view of reality that extends beyond what can be seen.  They understand that there is a yet higher power behind the thin veneer of this present moment—a God who still rules and reigns as Sovereign Lord King over this earth. … Faith sees God.  Right here, right now—on the move.” This is precisely what the author of Hebrews means.  Why was Moses not afraid?  Because “he saw him who is invisible,” that is, God the true King.  You cannot read the Bible without this kind of vision.  Think of our current series in Sunday worship.  When we read the texts of Samuel & Kings, we are tempted to think that Saul, David, and Solomon are the king of Israel.  They aren't.  They never were.  God is still the King.  And to the extent that Saul, David, and Solomon acknowledge that fact and point their people to the High King, the LORD—Israel is her true self.  But when they forget and start acting as if they were the only king by taking too many wives, say, or naming a city after themselves like the “City of David,” that is when Israel becomes a nation “like all the other nations,” which is far less than Israel was called to be. When one's eyes are peeled to see God as King and we ourselves as citizens of HIS country who merely reside as foreign aliens in this one (Canada)—then we see things rightly.  That is when Christians begin to do those strange, counter-cultural things that Christians do when they are willing to give up their own standing, wealth, even life for the sake of others or for our love of God.  Very often we see this go sideways when Christians make “strong” stands and draw hard lines, but seek to enact those stands through unrighteous means: violence, factional fighting, subverting the rules.  This is not the way of the King.  Not that Christians can't make strong stands, but in his Kingdom the way something gets done is just as important as what gets done.  Ends do not justify means: both ends and means must be righteous in his kingdom.  And if that means we cannot get done what we think we ought to or need to get done, well then, it just doesn't get done.  We wait in trust for the Lord to do what we cannot, for we are always constrained by his law and his ways.  But even so: in our waiting we do not fear.  No matter how bad things get or look, we do not fear.  Even if our life is made hard and persecution comes our way: we do not fear.  Why?  Because we see “him who is invisible,” our God, still seated on the throne. This is the root: faith.  A “confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.”  As John will write later in his letter: it is faith in this God and his perfect love that “drives out fear.”    As you journey on, go with the blessing of God:     May the peace of the Lord Christ go with you : wherever he may send you. May he guide you through the wilderness : protect you through the storm. May he bring you home rejoicing : at the wonders he has shown you. May he bring you home rejoicing : once again into our doors.

I'm sure that my first introduction to Robin Hood was Disney's charming fox. It's honestly a pretty faithful telling of the myth, (maybe even more so because of all the talking animals). But in the Year of our Lord 1991, when I was a mere second grader, there was just one Robin Hood: Kevin Costner as the Prince of Thieves. We were not a movie-going family, but the theaters advertised their hopeful blockbusters on broadcast television, and they really sold this one. The trailer ended with a shot from the point of view of an arrow racing through the forest to split another and claim the bullseye. Pull back and behold the shooter: The Field of Dreams and Dances with Wolves guy! WHAT!?!? I had to see it.  I actually did watch it eventually on VHS at Preston Jones' house with the GIANT 36 INCH TV. I became obsessive, begging my parents for a real bow and arrow that I would absolutely not shoot my sisters with (denied). But the thing that sticks with me still is the killer ballad featured over the end credits. “Everything I Do, (I Do It for You)” by Bryan Adams forever changed couples' skating and slow dancing in Cordova, Tennessee and probably across the whole dang world. I didn't know it then, but these compelling twins of honor in romance and warfare were interwoven as the DNA of the genre that birthed the very first tales of Robin Locksley. This was a chivalric romance, and I was hooked.  I think this is connected to how much I love the stories of King David and his Mighty Men. No doubt the setting and cultural dynamics are hundreds of miles and centuries apart. But for me the common themes trigger all the trappings of a good medieval adventure. A noble warrior and rightful heir becomes an outcast in his own country because of the oppression of an unjust authority. In his exile, he finds the love of the people is on his side, and the most formidable of these band together to see him installed in his rightful place, where he can best care for the poor. Only the return of the High King, (who knows when?), will end this conflict. Until then, the most tragic episodes will occur inside the camp. What's not to love?  This week we're really going to dial in on the band of merry mighty men and how their friendship to David becomes an indispensable part of his ascent. It's a model for our own friendships for those who have ears to hear. Looking forward to it.

The final word of the book of Ruth is "David." David, of the Tribe of Judah, the first True King of Israel, born of the royal tribe, and of whose line would continue down to the High King of heaven and earth, the Messiah, the Son of David. Christ, the Promised One was coming, and though He was, at the time of Ruth, some ways off, He was orchestrating the path to the incarnation and the redemption of His beloved bride.The chronicles of Samuel, recorded for the people of God in 1st and 2nd Samuel present to us the history of Israel during the time of Samuel, Saul, and David. We continue to see the themes of life from death, the coming of the True King to His people, and what faithfulness to the Lord results in by those who are committed to His covenant, glory, and kingdom coming on earth as it is in heaven.

How the First Copyright Dispute in 6th Century Ireland Led to a Bloody War Known as "The Battle of the Book"

Guest post by Mick Kiely, CEO of IAIAI Technologies Today, lessons from history remain profoundly relevant as we continue to debate the ethical use of intellectual property in AI training. The "Case of the Cathach" reminds us that the balance between protecting artists' rights and fostering innovation is not a modern issue, but a recurring one throughout history. Copyright Dispute in 6th Century Led to Battle of the Book The Cathach, one of Ireland's oldest surviving manuscripts, stands as a testament to the country's rich literary heritage. This Latin text contains the earliest known Irish copy of the Gallicanum Psalter, accompanied by unique rubrics that are the first of their kind in Western Europe. Despite its damaged state, the Cathach holds immense historical significance and is closely linked to St. Columba, whose influence extends beyond Ireland to Scotland and Continental Europe, contributing to Ireland's reputation as the "Land of Saints and Scholars." Bizarrely, this 6th-century sacred manuscript became the catalyst for one of history's earliest and bloodiest disputes over intellectual property. This conflict, often referred to as the Case of the Cathach of St. Columba, involved two prominent figures of early Irish Christianity: St. Columba (Colum Cille) and St. Finnian of Moville. The dispute escalated into a war that claimed thousands of lives. This historic event of AD 561, known as "The Battle of the Book", tells how a quarrel over a manuscript in a remote Irish monastery laid the groundwork for concepts that continue to shape our understanding of intellectual property rights today. The Sacred Manuscript and a Secret Copy Saint Finnian, revered for his wisdom and devotion, was the keeper of a treasured psalter, a sacred text painstakingly inscribed by hand. To Finnian, this manuscript was more than just a book; it was a spiritual artifact, a repository of divine knowledge, and an extension of his own stewardship over sacred writings. Saint Columba, equally passionate about spreading divine teachings, had been a student of Finnian. The Psalter of his former mentor held particular significance for Columba. His desire to possess and copy this sacred text became a deep obsession. This desire intensified when Columba traveled to Moville, where Finnian lived, to request permission to copy the Psalter. To his astonishment, Finnian flatly refused, despite Columba's persistence. Feeling wronged, Columba defied Finnian's refusal and secretly set about copying the Psalter. Under the cover of night, Columba worked tirelessly in the church where the manuscript was kept, painstakingly copying the sacred text. However, his efforts did not go unnoticed. A young man, witnessing the act, reported Columba to Finnian, claiming that a miraculous light had shone upon the manuscript as Columba copied it. Finnian was outraged and demanded that the copy be turned over to him, arguing that the copy was an extension of the original and thus his rightful property. Columba, on the other hand, argued that sacred texts belonged to everyone and should be freely shared for the greater good. King Diarmait's Judgment Unable to resolve their dispute, the two saints turned to "King Diarmait Mac Cerbhaill", the High King of Ireland, for arbitration. The court convened to hear impassioned arguments from both sides. The case presented a dilemma: should knowledge be treated as sacred property belonging to its creator, or as a communal resource for the benefit of all? Finnian continued to argue for the sanctity of the original text, asserting that the copy infringed on his rights as its custodian. Columba again countered, insisting that sacred knowledge should be free to spread, unburdened by claims of ownership. After careful deliberation, King Diarmait delivered his verdict in a poetic phrase that would resonate through history "To every cow belongs its calf; to every book belongs its copy." This judgment affirmed Finnian's claim, stating that the ...

November is kind of a sad month, isn't it? Yet--even as the days shorten and the temperatures drop--it doesn't have to be so melancholy. For ancient Celtic people and the Ireland of yore, the month of November is the start of the Celtic new year, which began on October 31st. The Celts called it Samhain (pronounced Sah-win).  The Celtic day also began at sundown instead of at sunrise. So, Samhain commenced at twilight on October 31st. Picture it in your mind: as the last sun of the year slipped beneath the horizon, the old year was seen to die. At the same time, out of the darkness, a new year was born.  Celts celebrated with feasting, dancing, fortune telling and divination by reading apple skins and hazelnuts (representing wisdom in Celtic culture). And of course, fires. Large bonfires sprung up everywhere only to be doused at midnight, plunging the Celtic world into darkness.   The fires were then re-lit from a great ceremonial bonfire at Tlaghtgha in County Meath. The High King's fire at Tara was lit first and then, in a sort of domino effect, the blazes moved out across the country until every hearth glowed anew. These fires were lit for warmth and to ward off the evil spirits residing in the darkness. Perhaps they were also a beacon of hope in the pre-electricity darkness and a symbol of the eventual return of the light.  Let's focus on this last bit. As we are plunged into the darkness of winter, we are also that much closer to spring. Out in nature, as you walk with me in Tuscany, the leaves are falling, the frost has arrived, and nature is preparing itself for the inevitable. For Celts, November's full moon was the Seed Fall Moon, honoring the moment in which seeds drifted from dying plants to the humid ground. The moment in which the earth received them and embraced them, keeping them safe until spring.  So as you walk in nature with me today, take time to reflect on what should lie sallow, and what should burst forth with new life come spring. ANNOUNCEMENTS:Join me in December for brand new writing groups, including Transformative Writing and much more!

How to Have a Million-Dollar Life - #9848

A Word With You

Play Episode Listen Later Oct 9, 2024


I haven't bought a baseball bat for a while, but I know you can buy one that's cheap and may not last long or one that costs a little more and lasts longer. But a million-dollar baseball bat? That's a little out of my price range. And lest you think I've lost it, not long ago a massive 46-ounce Louisville Slugger bat sold at auction for $1.26 million dollars! What in the world could possibly make a simple baseball bat worth that much to anyone? Who used it? It was the bat used by Babe Ruth in the first baseball game in the new Yankee Stadium in 1923. In the third inning, The Babe blasted a home run right into the right field bleachers, and somebody just laid down over a million bucks for the bat he used. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "How to Have a Million-Dollar Life." It was just a piece of wood until someone important used it to do something important. That's what gave that bat such great value. And that's what gives ordinary humans like you and me a whole new value - being used by the most important person in the universe to do something He considers important. An ordinary life is never quite ordinary again once that life has been used by Almighty God. And His choice of the person He will use is not based on the things most people look for. God doesn't care about charisma, or credentials, or connections, or cash. He's looking for character. He's a holy God, and He can only use holy instruments; people who keep themselves clean for His service. Paul paints a picture of two kinds of believers - one useful to the Lord and one of little use to Him - in 2 Timothy 2, beginning with verse 15, our word for today from the Word of God. He says, "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved." (By the way, Missionary martyr Jim Elliot said the only degree he really wanted was his A.U.G. degree - Approved Unto God.) The verse goes on to say, "a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth... In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for noble purposes and some for ignoble." Even our house has some things we use for throwing away trash and others that we use to serve special people for special occasions. So what do I have to do to have the honor; the incredible value of being someone the High King of Heaven can use? "If a man cleanses himself," the Bible says, "he will be an instrument for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work." Man, those are beautiful words, "useful to the Master." Just like you or me going to the kitchen to find a glass to drink from, God is looking for someone who's clean to use. And He doesn't find very many. What a powerful reason for you to keep your heart and your mind pure, to repent of the junk you've been hanging onto, to meet with Jesus daily for that day's tune-up, to aspire to be, as Robert Murray McCheyne said, "as holy as a saved sinner can be." You'll be God's man, you'll be God's woman, through whom God's work will be done in people's lives. That temptation, that compromise can't possibly be worth losing out on a destiny like this! The beautiful thing is that anybody can qualify to be used by God. It's your passionate purity, your total surrender to be used totally for His purposes that qualifies you. You've abandoned your dreams for your life for His dreams for your life. They're so much bigger and so much better than yours. And the greatest legacy of your life will be to join Him in the rescue mission that changes people's eternities from hell to heaven. He's inviting you to join Him in that rescue mission for which He died. Make yourself available to the Lord of the universe and keep yourself clean for Him. When He picks up a life to use it, it takes on a meaning and a significance that nothing on earth can even get close to. And in God's hands, your life can be a holy home run!

Send me a DM! ILY All!Today I'm honored to introduce to you: Catholic church, Knights of St Columba, and organized ritual, systemic and secular abuse survivor and whistleblower, published author and writer, creator and first editor of long-running British comic 2000AD, devoted husband to his supportive wife Lisa, yogi, cycler, and table tennis player, blogger, and a hero on a mission to expose organized clerical abuse and neo-Masonic sexual abusive crimes of the Catholic laity: Patrick MillsPatrick is the son of a devout, pour, Catholic widow and became a target to his abuse from a young age. He was indentured into the Catholic Church - which is different than baptism - and was in his 40's when memories of sexual child abuse surfaced. These forms of abuse took three forms: The first was: Organized ritual abuse within the Church and through The Knights of St Columba - who are the British equivalent of the USA Knights of Columbus. This form of abuse had elements of satanic ritual abuse. The second form was ‘Organized systemic abuse' that occurred within the Church and the Catholic College he attended, and the third form was ‘Organized secular abuse'. These three forms of abuse overlapped throughout Patrick's childhood. When he recovered his memories in the 90s, the British False Memory Society was at its most powerful - copying the American equivalent which we all know of as the False Memory Syndrome Foundation. Both foundations are now allegedly defunct. It was only when Patrick discovered the proven cases of recovered memory in the United States - such as the famous Frank Fitzpatrick vs Father James Porter case - that he realized his memories were valid.Patrick believes Catholic Canon Law is the likely cause of Catholic child sexual abuse as it provides a license to abuse. Patrick has been offered apologies from the Church, the Knights, and a national investigation from his old College. His research has led him to find through academic studies that clerical abuse is transgenerational and is likely to still be current. He believes the Church is operating a damage limitation exercise, acknowledging - but not pursuing - the crimes involved. Patrick is also the creator and first editor of the long-running British comic 2000AD and developed Judge Dredd - which has been made into two movies. Key graphic novels he has written include the internationally acclaimed, anti-war series “Charley's War”, exposing the real truth about the First World War, “Nemesis” - a science fiction, futuristic critique of the Catholic Church, “Slaine” – about the High King of Ireland and celebrating a victory of the matriarchy over the patriarchy, and “Third World War” – about how multinational food companies oppress the people of South America.His other writing credits include “Marshal Law” (used in Marvel and D.C. Comics), which is an extremely hostile look at super heroes, “Accident Man”, about a deep state assassin, made into two movies starring Scott Adkins, “Requiem Vampire Knight” – which is a 12 volume series about famous people sent to Hell, and “Batman Book of Shadow”. Patrick's story, “The Star Beast” was also adapted as the anniversary celebration story and first episode of the recent relaunch of the Doctor Who TV series, starring David Tennant.Patrick also has a blog that has resulted in the sacking of the head of a religious teaching order  - which is the equivalent of an arch bishop here in the US, the recent arrest of one of his Catholic abusers at the age of 90, apologies on the table for three dead abuser Catholic priests, apology for the crimes of the Knights of St Columba, and a national investigation into the crimes of a religious teaching order at his old college.CONNECT WITH PATSupport the show

It aims to train people to talk to God, share their faith, and evangelize without fear.[04:44] Daughter of the Most High KingLaurel first experienced a rigid relationship with God, driven by fear and duty rather than love. She was taught to fear Him and felt at fault for Christ's suffering and sacrifice.She learned the truth in college. Laurel realized God's love for her and changed her perspective as the daughter of the High King.Your relationship with Christ and how you see yourself in the eyes of God changes your Christian life.Laurel lived in fear and was bound by it. Jesus pulled her free so that she could move in Him and talk to God without fear.Don't simply listen and believe what others say. You also need to examine what you believe and study it. Use the Word of God and the many resources we have today to stand boldly in our faith.[21:11] What Is Prayer and Why Is It An Integral Part of Your Life?Prayer is the heart's posture and soul's surrender in communion with God. We need to focus our hearts and minds on our time and conversation with God.Even if God knows everything, He still wants to hear from you and communicate with love through prayer. [22:46] Laurel: “When we have both our heart and our soul, in communion with God, without fear or shame, we can communicate with the one who loves us and knows us best.” Like in any relationship, communication is important. Talk to God. Maintain your union with Him through communion in prayer.Pray to the One True God and not to any false gods. Don't let idols distract and divide your heart and mind.A lot of people were never taught about prayer. However, it's important to learn about prayer, fasting, and meditating on God's Words to keep you focused on your intimate relationship with God.[30:42] Understanding Prayer in the Word of GodLaurel talks about John 17, the moment when Jesus is preparing to sacrifice Himself to take on our sins. He prays not just for His disciples but also for His future believers.Daniel's prayer, Hannah's prayer, and Esther's prayer show their honesty and their hearts on display as they pray to God. It is this honesty and knowledge that they can go to God for grace and help that is in these prayers.Jesus is constantly interceding and fighting for us. He prays for us, the Holy Spirit is with us, and angels watch over us to protect us.Even when you're too busy or have no words, you can do it anywhere and however short or long. It doesn't have to be perfect.Beyond the power of prayer in strengthening our intimate relationship with God, it also aligns our minds and prepares and protects us. Prayer is a part of our armor.[49:38] Living a Prayer LifeGod listens and recognizes our pain. He might not always act on it how and when we want Him to but it's important to trust Him.Understand God's character and His many names. From El Roi, Jehovah Shalom, and more, these names help you understand the vastness and multifaceted nature of God.We know Jesus from a human point of view. However, we can know Him differently and remember how we're made new through His sacrifice.Coming together in prayer can be powerful. Laurel and Reagan talk about their tabernacle experience where they felt the Holy Spirit come and sit with them.Read the Scripture and the conversations between God and His people. The simple personal prayers based on His Word can be the most powerful.[01:05:30] The Power of Praying Out LoudPraying out loud is a proclamation of faith. It is a way to decree and declare God's truth and authority.With His absolute authority, prayer pushes back the enemy and denies the power of what Satan speaks.As we pray, it's important to believe in God's strength especially when you are weak.Prayer and God's Word can pull you out of negative emotions and situations, just like how Laurel was pulled out of her fear by building her faith through prayer.Don't be afraid, the Lord is with you. Get past the fear and resignation to go and spread the gospel and faith. [01:13:53] Reagan: “Proclaim who Jesus is and that you are covered in the blood of Christ so that the enemy can't touch you. There is power in speaking that out loud that the enemy knows that you are speaking in your authority in shutting the door.”[01:14:17] Why Pray?Prayer is a gift that was given to us, no strings attached; all you have to do is accept it.Know that God responds, He hears, sees, knows, understands, and loves us.In your relationship with God, commune with him. Talk to God and let him know that you love Him. Know too that God loves you.It's worth cultivating your relationship with God so that you can stand before Him and worship Him for what He's done.[01:17:22] Laurel's Answered PrayerGod has always opened a door for Laurel when one closes as she applies for a job.However, that didn't happen for Laurel. Instead, God answered in a different way by providing rest, allowing her to preach, and travel the world. [01:19:03] Laurel: “Answered prayer oftentimes doesn't come in one giant perfected, tied with a bow, answer. Sometimes it comes unrolling something where you get bit by bit.” Stepping into a new season of life for Laurel, her answered prayer was revealed little by little.It is through this time of elongated prayer that she was able to get to know God, talk to God, cultivate an intimate relationship with Him, and learn to forgive and trust.God wants you. He is listening. The first step to communicating with God is to receive Him as your Lord and Saviour.About LaurelLaurel Bunker is a dynamic preacher, educator, and leader with over 30 years of experience in ministry, higher education, and non-profit sectors.

This episode tells the second part of last week's story ‘Fire and Fury' where we were introduced to some of Cormac's struggles as a High King who was not a fighting man. Insulted by the Ulster men, he had conceded the Kingship rather than pose a direct conflict. But his mother pointed out, he found himself needing to curry favour for a much greater fight. And two men from Munster would help him. But he trusted neither, and he as it turned out, was not to be trusted either.

This episode is an exploration of Gil-galad's written history and why the publication of The Silmarillion and J.R.R. Tolkien's expanding Legendarium had an impact on Gil-galad's place in the Legendarium.
