June 12, 2026Today's Reading: Catechism: The Lord's Prayer - 4th PetitionDaily Lectionary: Proverbs 10:1-23; Proverbs 11:1-12:28; John 14:1-17What does this mean? God certainly gives daily bread to everyone without our prayers, even to all evil people, but we pray in this petition that God would lead us to realize this and to receive our daily bread with thanksgiving. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.We need to be reminded to be grateful. Ouch. A quick ‘thanks,' is sufficient, right? I do have other things to get done - I have money to make, groceries to buy, errands to run…I'm taking care of my life! Hmmm. Maybe this Petition is worth some time and reflection. In the Lord's Prayer, we are given the Petition ‘Give us this day our daily bread.' This is not some type of magic incantation that allows pizza to softly float down to our dinner tables. No, this is a reminder that God DOES give us what we need. Our daily needs are met. Furthermore, none of this is done with our control or effort. As Luther explains, God certainly gives without our prayers.We are given this Petition so we might pause and reflect on God's character. God is merciful, abundant, and loving. He gives more than we can even imagine. He had a plan for our salvation before the world even existed. He certainly provides for our needs of body and soul. When we are tempted to think about our own efforts in ‘meeting our needs,' we should repent. We must remember that it is God who provides the sunshine, air, dirt, and seeds that will one day be wheat for flour (for that pizza!). It is God who equips farmers, truck drivers, and store owners - all those who help us find the food that is necessary for sustaining our bodies (which are also Gifts from God). And this Petition reminds us that God gives us ALL that is needed for our body and life - not *only* the food that we daily receive. Indeed, this part of the Lord's Prayer is a powerful and humbling reminder that God is in control, and this is good. God knows our needs and meets them - without our asking, our assistance, or even our thanks. We get to reflect on all that God gives and all that He is, and then give Him thanksgiving. We are reminded of who He is: the One who sent His own perfect Son to die in the place of sinners. The one who defeated sin, death, and the power of the devil for us. The one who calls us His own in Baptism and feeds us Jesus' Body and Blood. Yes! We have so much to give thanks for - we have a generous and loving God! In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.God makes the clouds rain goodness, The deserts bloom and spring, The hills leap up in gladness, The valleys laugh and sing. God fills them with His fullness, All things with large increase; He crowns the year with blessing, With plenty and with peace. (LSB 893:2)Deac. Sarah Longmire, Curricula Curator for Higher Things and Director of Family Life at St. Matthew Lutheran Church in Lee's Summit, MO.

According to a recent survey, many Christians are now using AI (artificial intelligence) for personal Bible study and even for spiritual guidance.  Is this a good idea?  Can a computer programmed machine be relied upon to give faithful and true witness to the word of God?  What tools has God already set in place for us to understand His word and provide spiritual direction?  Hmmm?Scriptures:  2 Timothy 3:15;  Psalm 119:160;  Hebrews 4:12;  Ephesians 1:15-19;  John 14:26; 16:13;  Acts 17:10-12;  2 Timothy 1:5; 2:2; 3:14-17

Your Faith Journey - Finding God Through Words, Song and Praise

Matthew 9:9-13, 18-16; Pride Sunday; Pentecost 2 (Lectionary 10); June 7, 2026 Additional texts: Hosea 5:15-6:6; Psalm 50:7-15; Romans 4:13-25 Rich Weingartner Grace to you and peace from God our parent, Jesus our Savior, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Each year ReconcilingWorks, the organization that coordinates and provides resources for the RIC program, provides materials for both RIC Sunday and for a Pride Sunday service. The theme they picked this year for Pride Sunday is "Reframing our Resistance: Lament, Foundation, Joy, and Courage" On this theme they share: As faith communities in a society that is becoming less affirming and inclusive of anyone who is marginalized, for Pride in 2026 we step up as allies, collaborators, and co-conspirators in the proclamation of the Gospel of an inclusive love for all God's beloveds. Our resistance can make time and space for lamenting, for reclaiming our foundation, for sharing our joy, and building up our courage. We need all of those pieces in our lives and worship during this season of our church's life. So, first, let's look at what we are resisting. When thinking of the word "resist" another word came to mind "renounce." Exploring how they are connected, we find that "renounce" means to reject and stop using or doing something, while "resist" means to try to prevent by action or argument, or to struggle or fight back when pressured or attacked. In short, "renounce" is more about declaring what is acceptable and unacceptable, while "resist" is the action you carry out to defend and fight against what you have declared as unacceptable. If you are sitting there thinking "Hmmm - 'renounce' that word feels like I've heard it in church before as part of a service" you would be correct. In the typical liturgy for both baptism and affirmation of baptism, aka confirmation, three questions are asked before we share the Apostle's Creed. These questions are: ●    Do you renounce the devil and all the forces that defy God? ●    Do you renounce the powers of this world that rebel against God? ●    Do you renounce the ways of sin that draw you from God? So that is what we have renounced and thus what we are resisting. Anything that tries to separate us from God or separate any of God's creation from God. That is part of what Pride month is - resisting homophobia, transphobia, queerphobia, and anything else that would separate our LGBTQIA+ and other marginalized siblings from being their true selves that God gave them and to deny or separate them from God's love. This resistance isn't just for this month, but for our entire lives, that is what we are called to be and do as Christians, which we proclaim in our baptismal vows. This resistance is for anything that denies people full access to be themselves, live their life how they want, and to experience God's love. So now that we know what we are resisting, let's go on a journey together. A journey through the four aspects that we can bring into this resistance - lament, foundation, joy, and courage. When thinking about these four aspects, another common structure to us that has four parts came to mind - the structure of our worship service: Gathering, Word, Meal, and Sending. Along this journey we'll have time to reflect. I know silence can be uncomfortable, but also silence gives us time to reflect and think. After each stop on our journey, we'll pause for a moment to give you time to reflect. I'll give some questions to ponder during the silence. Feel free to just think about them, maybe jot some notes down if you like writing out your thoughts, or if you feel compelled to share out loud - that is fine too. Stop one on our journey - Lament, which can be a passionate expression of grief or sorrow. Lament comes in many different forms. We can lament by ourselves - and this lament can be for ourselves as well - for our sins we have done, ways we have failed to resist the things that separate us and the world from God. We can lament for others or the world either by ourselves or in community. Also, God can lament. This is what we find happening in the words of the prophet Hosea. In the reading today we find God lamenting that God's people have turned from God. The focus here is that God wants the people of Israel to have steadfast love toward God, and toward each other, instead of focusing on sacrifice and burnt offerings.  This theme is repeated again in Psalm 50 where God reminds us that God has everything they need, so burnt offerings and physical sacrifices aren't what is needed, but instead we should offer sacrifices of thanksgiving and to keep our close connection with God. Turning to our worship structure, we start with the Gathering where the Holy Spirit calls us together as the people of God. When we use confession and forgiveness as part of the Gathering portion of our service, this can be a form of lament, we are lamenting all the things we have done wrong where we gave in to the forces that defy God and the powers of the world that rebel against God. In the Kyrie we are praying to our Lord for the world, our community, and for us, which can have tones of lament if we are asking for God's presence to help us while we lament the things that are wrong in the world. Time to pause and reflect on our first stop on our journey of resistance - Lament. What do you lament? What do we ask marginalized people to sacrifice or change about themselves to fit in? How can we lament with them over the harms we have caused to bring them back into God's fully inclusive love? Stop number two - Foundation - an underlying basis or principle. For us as Christians, our foundation in one word is "God". Our reading from Romans is a good reminder that we are called to God through faith, not through following laws. In the story of Abraham we are reminded of his great faith and that through God all things are possible. God often calls the unexpected to accomplish God's work. As Lutherans another underlying principle is that we are saved by grace through faith, and this is a gift given freely to us from God. Another core foundation is to love your neighbor as yourself. All these are about building a true connection with God - through relationships, love, and mercy; not through sacrifices and following strict laws.  The next portion of our worship service that helps us build our foundation is the Word section where God speaks to us in scripture reading, preaching, and song. This is a core part of our service where we receive God's word through the various readings, learn more about it and how it can apply to our lives, and then help cement that message through song. This portion of the service also includes the creed and prayers of intercession. These also help us cement our foundation in our core beliefs that give us the basis and reminder for what we are resisting. Time to pause and reflect on our second stop on our journey of resistance - Foundation. What are your core beliefs as part of your foundation? Do we stray from our foundation and focus instead on cultural, institutional, or false religious laws and rules, that separate us and others from God's love? How can we help each other in keeping a firm foundation? Stop number three - Joy - a feeling of great pleasure and happiness. In the first part of our reading from Matthew today we find Jesus having dinner with Matthew, a tax collector, and other sinners. The commentary for the Lutheran Study Bible says this about the "sinners": "Social and moral outcasts, many of whom would have been enslaved in this part of the Roman Empire. By eating with such people, Jesus bestows honor upon them, in keeping with the blessings he bestowed on the unfortunate in the beatitudes" So they were sinners as viewed by others and not because of who they were. Jesus saw them as fellow humans and people that deserve to be treated as any other person and not as some social outcast simply because that is what society says. Imagine the joy they have when Jesus resists societal norms and joyfully eats with them. Jesus does not diminish this joy when questioned by the Pharisees. He lets the joy continue and says this meal and being with the societal outcasts is what God wants - followed by a reminder, tying back to our previous readings, that God desires this mercy and kindness, not sacrifice.  This brings us to the third part of our worship service - the Meal where God feeds us with the presence of Jesus Christ. This part of the service starts with the offering - where, with joy, we can offer back to God what we have to allow the work of God to be accomplished. We don't do this because we are called to sacrifice, instead we are joyful in what God has provided to us, so we want to return a portion so that we can spread that joy. We then share a meal together, holy communion, just as Jesus shared a meal with the societal outcasts of his day - we are all invited, regardless of how society views us, as children of God to have a meal where we receive Christ. What joy we receive in this meal. Time to pause and reflect on our third stop on our journey of resistance - Joy. What brings you joy? How can we bring joy to those society wants to take joy away from?   Our final stop - stop number four - Courage - mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand danger, fear, or difficulty. In the second part of today's Gospel reading, we find two examples of courage. First for the person to come in, interrupt the gathering, and basically demand that Jesus come and lay his hand on the daughter so that she will live. Then for the woman, which society would have deemed unclean and an outcast, to come up in public to dare to touch Jesus's cloak, which would have also made Jesus unclean. Then, in an act of resistance to society norms, Jesus doesn't ignore these people and tell them to go away, he responds out of compassion and love and lets them know they are healed and made alive. These two people took great courage, based on their faith, to take action for what they believed in. The final part of our worship service is the Sending where God blesses us and sends us in mission to the world. In this section we receive the blessing, sing a sending song, and have the dismissal. All of these are designed to give us courage to know God is with us always. Through this courage we are called to go out into the world to proclaim God's message of radical love and continue our resistance to everything in the world that draws us and others away from God. We aren't called to simply renounce them for our own personal beliefs, but actively resist the powers of the world that rebel against God for ourselves and others. We are called to actively resist anytime we find society or people causing pain and suffering to anyone, especially those marginalized in our society - our LGBTQIA+ siblings, our Black, Indigenous, and People of Color siblings, our siblings with differing abilities - either mental or physical, those who are hungry or lack adequate housing, and so many more. Time to pause and reflect on our final stop on our journey of resistance - Courage. What brings you courage? How can you help give others courage? Our journey in today's message has come to an end, but our journey of resistance continues on. May we all take these pieces, so that in our own lives, in our church's work, and in our worship make time and space for lamenting, for reclaiming our foundation, for sharing our joy, and building up our courage. So that together we may renounce and resist all the ways of this world that draw us away from God and prevent God's message of radical love for all and unconditional forgiveness, from being fully realized. Amen.

417: What's One Question You Can Ask to Build Capacity?

Getting Unstuck - Shift For Impact

Play Episode Listen Later Jun 2, 2026 6:31


Hi, I'm Jeff Ikler, host of the Cultivating Curiosity podcast. It's summer, and our thoughts naturally turn to making the most of longer days and warmer weather. We're desperate to be outside. With that in mind, I'm periodically releasing mini episodes of "Cultivating Curiosity." In about 10 minutes, I'll dive deeper into a key point from a previously broadcast evergreen episode. The content in these mini episodes is designed to be readily applicable to your life or work. The idea This week's mini episode was inspired by a July 2021 interview with Dr. Melissa "Missie" Patschke. Missie has since retired, but at the time of our conversation, she was principal of Upper Providence Elementary School in the Spring-Ford Area School District in Southeastern Pennsylvania. Her message, born of 20+ years of experience and reinforced by the COVID pandemic, was that organizations move forward with strength if they're led by leaders, not a leader. As a school leader, your role is not to be the person pulling everyone up that hill or being number one at all times. Your role is to build that capacity and be number two, so that other people can be number one. And the more number ones you build, the better you're all going to be. Taking the idea deeper The necessity of building others' capacity to lead is not a new idea. It's not universally practiced, though, because leaders typically get stuck trying to build capacity in one of three ways: Conceptually, they get "it." They get the need and wisdom behind growing others. But their inner critic pulls them aside, puts an arm around them, and whispers, "Yeah, but if they lead, what's your role? How's it going to make you look?" They forget that "building" or "growing" ends in "i–n–g," implying that it's an ongoing process, or at least a process of gradual release. It's not a one-and-done effort, meaning one day your staff is being led and the next day they're leading. As a leader, you just don't know how. So let's take a small step toward number 3. In my mind, the best example of building capacity came from what may at first seem like the most unlikely of places: the military. We usually think of life in the military as giving and receiving orders: "I say 'Jump!'" and you jump. But one savvy ship captain saw things differently. When Captain David Marquet inherited what was then the worst-performing submarine in the U.S. Navy, he immediately realized why: the 135-member crew was largely doers, not thinkers. They were used to taking and conditioned to take orders. But Marquet knew that to effectively run something as complex and as deadly as a nuclear submarine, you had to have people who were thinking about what they were doing and how what they were doing impacted the rest of the ship's performance. Putting the idea to work OK, you're not the captain of a nuclear submarine, but if you're leading an organization, a department, or even a team, the implications of your collective work are significant. You need to be surrounded by thinkers and not just doers. If you buy into that wisdom, but you're not used to leading in an intent-based way, the next time someone comes into your office with a question, instead of providing the answer, start by asking the simple question: "What do you think we should do?" And probe with a follow-up question or two to get at their all important rationale. Asking the question "What do you think we should do?" with genuine curiosity may be the hardest shift for some managers who are used to and comfortable with simply giving direction. To build your own capacity to ask that open-ended question, show your inner critic the door and lead with the phrase "Hmmm, I don't know." And then ask, "What do you think we should do?" One note of caution: when you say, "I don't know," mean it. Don't play bingo with your staff by having them guess an answer you might already have in mind. The tone you use to open a discussion and invite their thinking is critical. In fact, try not to have the answer unless it's a desperate, time-sensitive situation. Be curious about the ideas your staff can generate. Probe for clarity and the ability to implement. Trust me on this. I made the mistake of not leading this way early in my career because I wanted everyone to rise to my brilliance. I wanted them to come to the answer that was in my head. That approach simply bred frustration and distrust among my staff.  

New Hope Daily SOAP - Daily Devotional Bible Reading

Daily Dose of Hope June 2, 2026   Scripture: 1 Kings 2   Prayer:  Holy God, Thank you for this day and thank you for the ways you provide and care for us.  We rejoice in your powerful and mighty name.  As we read through the Scripture today and reflect on what it means for us, help us hear a new word from you.  Help us set aside the distractions of the day and really listen for your voice.  In Your Name, Amen.   Welcome to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Daily Bible reading plan.  For the summer, we are digging into 1 and 2 Kings.  These Old Testament texts offer us so much of God's truth and I look forward to what we will learn.  Today, we read 1 Kings 2.   This chapter begins with David about to die.  He wants to provide some advice to his son, Solomon, the new king of Israel. It's troubling advice, as he provides spiritual wisdom quickly followed by political strategizing that will lead to bloodshed. The first part of his advice is Godly and sounds like the wisdom of a man after God's own heart: Follow God's laws and walk in obedience to him and then you will prosper. But the second half of David's advice is about securing the kingdom. All sense of faithfulness is now gone out the window: Avenge your father, kill those people who have done us wrong, and ensure your place on the throne. Hmmm...On the one hand, David tells Solomon to follow God and keep Torah. On the other, he tells Solomon to avenge, kill, and break Torah.   I we were to read 1 & 2 Samuel, we could do a pretty good assessment of David's life. Overall, he was a faithful man who rarely wavered from following the Lord. He definitely had some rough patches though, in which he fell away and sinned horrifically against God and other people. And those times definitely mar how we view him.  At the same time, he was always repentant and turned back toward God. Over this last little portion of his life, however, it seems that David consulted God less and in many ways grew angry and bitter.  He had made a mess of his family life, allowed horrible things to happen in his household, and generally tried to dismiss it.  I'm wondering about his regrets.   What can we learn from King David's life? He is referred to as a man after God's own heart. He wrote many of the Psalms which we read over and over again and use in worship and song. He loved God and his allegiance was undeniable. On the other hand, he was a human king and there were many times in which lust, fear, and arrogance ruled the day.   After David dies, Samuel doesn't waste a lot of time.  He takes his father's advice and runs with it.  This means eliminating political rivals, including his half-brother Adonijah.  You might have noticed that Adonijah asked to marry his father's former attendant, the virgin Abishag.  Solomon sees this request as a covert political ploy to take the throne, as marrying a former king's attendant was seen as a claim to the royal lineage.  He also kills Joab (the general) and Shimei (who was a long-time problem for King David).  There is absolutely no grace.  I can't help but wonder what this means for Soloman's reign as king.  Is this a sign of what's to come?    Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Rabu, 3 Juni 2026Bacaan: "Pergilah! Tuhan menyertai engkau." (1 Samuel 17:37b)Bacaan: Suatu hari, seorang pemuda melamar pekerjaan ke suatu perusahaan. "Selamat, Anda diterima menjadi supir di kantor ini. Mulai besok Anda sudah bisa bekerja," ucap manajer HRD kepada seorang pelamar. "Hmmm... maaf pak, bagaimana kalau saya bekerja mulai minggu depan saja?" jawab si pelamar. "Lho, mengapa begitu?" tanya manajer HRD keheranan. "Karena satu minggu ini saya harus kursus mengemudi terlebih dahulu, pak," jawab pelamar itu dengan mantap. Cerita tersebut memang hanya humor belaka. Terlepas dari itu, ada pelajaran menarik yang bisa kita ambil, yakni sikap berani si pelamar menerima tantangan sebagai supir padahal ia sendiri belum bisa mengendarai mobil. Sikap berani itu juga pernah ditunjukkan oleh Daud saat memutuskan untuk melawan Goliat. Kita tahu bahwa Daud tidak memiliki pengalaman perang sebelumnya, apalagi perang melawan raksasa yang selama ini ditakuti oleh bangsa-bangsa lain. la hanya mempunyai pengalaman melawan binatang buas, seperti singa atau beruang. Mengapa Daud berhasil mengalahkan Goliat padahal ia belum mempunyai pengalaman di medan perang? Karena Daud memutuskan dan maju berperang bersama Allah (ay. 45). Seperti halnya Daud, tantangan dalam kehidupan ini juga pasti ada. Tantangan dapat membuat nyali kita ciut, tetapi tantangan dapat membuat kita bertumbuh. Ini tergantung bagaimana kita merespon tantangan tersebut. Belajar dari Daud, hadapilah tantangan dalam hidup kita bersama Tuhan. Pandanglah Tuhan, bukan tantangan yang ada di hadapan kita! Dengan demikian, keberanian kita untuk menaklukkan tantangan akan semakin besar dan tantangan akan semakin kecil. Saat ini, sebelum kita beraktivitas, pastikan diri sendiri bahwa Tuhan ada dipihak kita, karena Dia adalah Sumber kekuatan dan keberanian kita untuk menaklukkan tantangan apapun yang ada di hadapan kita. Tuhan Yesus memberkati.Doa:Tuhan Yesus, terima kasih untuk setiap tantangan yang aku hadapi selama ini. Aku bersyukur, selama aku mengandalkan Engkau, semua tantangan itu dapat aku lewati dengan baik. Amin. (Dod).

I have written and come to a realization, which has become a motif of sorts for me. Perhaps “motif” is not the perfect word, but it returns again and again. Nevertheless, I have written and come to the realization that life is about people and how people relate to one another.Yet life is what you make it, or allow others to make of it for you.I have come to discover that reality.Kierkegaard once said, “Once you label me, you negate me.” Hmmm? This is a profound point. This echoes true then, that life is about people and how people relate, yet life is what you make it or allow others to make of it for you.We are talking about the dynamics of it. Yet we are caught in a dynamic. The life that we have created is one that involves a dynamic—a dynamic that affects the relationship that exists between people based on one's position. Yes.But nevertheless, life—and so therefore, it becomes true then—that life is about people and how people relate. Yet life is what you make it, or make of it, or allow others to make of it for you.So the dynamic that you are in is a creative space. Yes? By who? By people themselves, who continue to make something of life that God has given us.God has given us life to make something of it.Life is to be lived.But how it is lived—you can either... you can either live it, or live in it, or live the life others want you to live.And I said, life is about people and how people relate. Yeah. Life is what you make it. What you make it. Or life is what you make it, or allow others to make of it for you. Others.I mean, I want to be a thermostat, not a thermometer.What about you?Rev.

"The start of a new year is the traditional time to take stock of our lives and see where we are going, measured against the backdrop of where we have been. I don't want to talk to you about New Year's resolutions, because you only made five of them and you have already broken four. (I give that remaining one just another week.) But I do want to talk to you about the past and the future, not so much in terms of New Year's commitments per se, but more with an eye toward any time of transition and change in your lives—and those moments come virtually every day of our lives. As a scriptural theme for this discussion, I have chosen the second-shortest verse in all of holy scripture. I am told that the shortest verse—a verse that every missionary memorizes and holds ready in case he is called on spontaneously in a zone conference—is John 11:35: “Jesus wept.” Elders, here is a second option, another shortie that will dazzle your mission president in case you are called on two zone conferences in a row. It is Luke 17:32, where the Savior cautions, “Remember Lot's wife.” Hmmm. What did He mean by such an enigmatic little phrase? To find out, I suppose we need to do as He suggested. Let's recall who Lot's wife was. The original story, of course, comes to us out of the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, when the Lord, having had as much as He could stand of the worst that men and women could do, told Lot and his family to flee because those cities were about to be destroyed. “Escape for thy life,” the Lord said, “look not behind thee . . . ; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed” (Genesis 19:17; emphasis added). With less than immediate obedience and more than a little negotiation, Lot and his family ultimately did leave town, but just in the nick of time. The scriptures tell us what happened at daybreak the morning following their escape: The Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven; And he overthrew those cities. [Genesis 19:24–25] Then our theme today comes in the next verse. Surely, surely, with the Lord's counsel “look not behind thee” ringing clearly in her ears, Lot's wife, the record says, “looked back,” and she was turned into a pillar of salt. In the time we have this morning, I am not going to talk to you about the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah, nor of the comparison the Lord Himself has made to those days and our own time. I am not even going to talk about obedience and disobedience. I just want to talk to you for a few minutes about looking back and looking ahead. One of the purposes of history is to teach us the lessons of life. George Santayana, who should be more widely read than he is on a college campus, is best known for saying, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it” (Reason in Common Sense, vol. 1 of The Life of Reason [1905–1906]). So, if history is this important—and it surely is—what did Lot's wife do that was so wrong? As something of a student of history, I have thought about that and offer this as a partial answer. Apparently what was wrong with Lot's wife was that she wasn't just looking back; in her heart she wanted to go back. It would appear that even before they were past the city limits, she was already missing what Sodom and Gomorrah had offered her. As Elder Maxwell once said, such people know they should have their primary residence in Zion, but they still hope to keep a summer cottage in Babylon (see Larry W. Gibbons, “Wherefore, Settle This in Your Hearts,” Ensign, November 2006, 102; also Neal A. Maxwell, A Wonderful Flood of Light [Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1990], 47). It is possible that Lot's wife looked back with resentment toward the Lord for what He was asking her to leave behind. We certainly know that Laman and Lemuel were resentful when Lehi and his family were commanded to leave Jerusalem. So it isn't just that she looked back; she looked back longingly. In short, her attachment to the past outweighed her confidence in the future. That, apparently, was at least part of her sin."   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------    For Come Follow Me lesson manual and materials visit- Come, Follow Me For Individuals and Families: New Testament 2023 https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/manual/come-follow-me/2023?lang=eng     For a list of 100+ episodes of ACU Sunday Series visit- https://www.podbean.com/site/search/index?kdsowie31j4k1jlf913=85cb8104bdb182c048b714ad4385f9e82a3aeb49&v=ACU+Sunday+Series+ Note- Click on “100 Episodes Found” in upper right corner.   For many different Podcasts based on the ‘Come Follow Me' program visit- https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=come+follow+me+   Subscribe to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for the latest videos: http://bit.ly/1M0iPwY Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/churchofjesu...

To be very clear, the best guide you can possibly have for making choices is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the strength of youth. So the purpose of For the Strength of Youth is to point you to Him. It teaches you eternal truths of His restored gospel—truths about who you are, who He is, and what you can accomplish with His strength. It teaches you how to make righteous choices based on those eternal truths.13 It's also important to know what For the Strength of Youth does not do. It doesn't make decisions for you. It doesn't give you a “yes” or “no” about every choice you might ever face. For the Strength of Youth focuses on the foundation for your choices. It focuses on values, principles, and doctrine instead of every specific behavior. The Lord, through His prophets, has always been guiding us in that direction. He is pleading with us to “increase [our] spiritual capacity to receive revelation.”14 He is inviting us to “hear Him.”15 He is calling us to follow Him in higher and holier ways.16 And we are learning in a similar way every week in Come, Follow Me.     ACU Endorsed Charities -------------------------------------------------------- Pre-Born!

That's a paraphrase of a quote from A. A. Milne and his book The House at Pooh Corner. And touches on the question I'm asking this week.  Let's go,    Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin   Learn more about the Time Sector System  Take the Time Sector System Course   Get Your Copy Of Your Time, Your Way: Time Well Managed, Life Well Lived The Working With… Weekly Newsletter Carl Pullein Learning Centre Carl's YouTube Channel Carl Pullein Coaching Programmes Subscribe to my Substack  The Working With… Podcast Previous episodes page Script | 414 Hello, and welcome to episode 414 of the Your Time, Your Way Podcast. A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  How do you organise your work?  There was a trend a few years ago to organise our tasks in multiple different ways. There were the original Getting Things Done contexts: @office, @home, @phone, @computer, etc.  Some preferred to manage their tasks by project, creating long lists of projects and assigning tasks to them.  Most of these trends died out because, ultimately, they were just new ways of avoiding the work while still feeling that the work was getting done. A kind of modern-day equivalent of shuffling papers on your desk.  All these trends did was create a longer list of lists, full of spurious tasks that likely didn't need to be done or had already been done but not checked off.  Then there is the idea that we can organise tasks by how much energy we estimate a task will consume. This one still persists, and I will explain shortly why this one doesn't work. Yet there is one way to manage your tasks that has been around for well over a hundred years and still works, one that almost all top-level executives use, but given that it is simple and we humans love to overcomplicate things, it never seems to get much coverage.  Anyway, this is what this week's topic is all about, so to get us started, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question.  This week's question comes from Ken. Ken asks, Hi Carl, what do you think is the best way to organise tasks? I'm thinking about using energy levels to keep my lists low. Have you had any experience with this method? Hi Ken, Thank you for your question.  I have to confess that over the years, I have jumped on every trend for organising my lists of tasks. And, except for two methods, pretty much all fail.  They fail for the reasons I alluded to a moment ago. They are too complicated and require far too much maintenance to keep organised. You see, the methods that work are simple, and therefore, in today's world, they are not sexy.  The simplest of them all is one I personally have gravitated back to in recent years. That is a simple daily list of tasks to be done today. These are taken from a master list, which is organised during the weekly planning session into the days you plan to do them on.  This method has a built-in safety valve. You can see how many tasks you have allocated to a specific day, and if it looks unrealistic, you can move them to other days to balance out your week.  Given that you are looking at this daily list every day during the Daily Planning Sequence, it can be adjusted for any unknowns that suddenly arise as the week progresses. (Which of course always happens) To maintain this method, all you need is two to three minutes a day and around thirty minutes for your weekly planning.  Not exciting, sexy or newsworthy. It doesn't require expensive apps or AI. You can operate this method using a simple $1.00 notebook or a text file on your computer.  But it works. It's flexible, and as long as you are being sensible, you're never going to feel overwhelmed.  This is where other methods go wrong. They often involve a lot of organising, and given that you are not always looking at the lists you are creating, you have no idea what kind of monster is growing.  Take organising by projects as an example. I don't know where this comes from. It certainly doesn't come from David Allen's Getting Things Done. GTD, as it is called, organises lists by what David Allen calls “Contexts”.  Contexts are created around tools, places or people. For instance, if a task requires a computer to complete it, you would assign it to the @Computer list. If you need to talk to your partner about something, you would add it to your @Partner list, and if you can only complete the task at home, you would add it to your @Home list.  The danger with this kind of organising is twofold. First, some of your lists will become enormous. So big that you don't want to look at them, as they become scary and leave you feeling anxious. And second, some tasks could theoretically fall into two or more lists. For example, if you need to book flights for a trip with your partner, you could allocate it to your @computer list or your @Partner list, and, as you will likely do this at home with your partner, it could conceivably be placed in your @Home list.  So where do you put it?  So you create a Project called “Family trip to Jamaica” and place the book flights task in there. Excellent. Next, you may add “Book hotel” and then maybe add a packing list and places to visit. Soon, a simple “project” has an array of tasks, some of which need to be done before you go and others when you get there.  That isn't really the problem. The problem is you don't have a single project like that. You may end up with projects like buying a new car, redecorating your living room, and, not to mention, all the various projects you will have at work.  Soon, that project list is out of control.  Just maintaining it and reviewing what needs to be done next takes hours.  And let's be honest here, how many of you are willing to consistently spend two or three hours of your weekend reviewing all your projects?  For something like your trip, it would be far easier to create a note in your notes app. Here you can keep your flight tickets, hotel reservation confirmation, packing list and places to visit in one place and have a master checklist for everything you need to do.  In your task manager, all you need now is a single task reminding you to book your flights, or simply to look at what needs doing next on your checklist.  Now you mentioned managing your list by energy levels, Ken.  On the surface, this sounds like a great idea. After all, why would you tackle a task that will require a lot of energy when you are not feeling energetic?  And when you are feeling low on energy, you can clear off some of those low-energy tasks.  Hmmm, but does it work? Well, no.  For one thing, your energy levels are not consistent. Some days you feel on fire, and others you feel like you've been hit by a bus and dragged through a hedge backwards.  The trouble is, when you go to bed, you have no idea how you will feel the next day.  Then there is the issue of deadlines. Whether you feel like doing a task or not, if the deadline is 12 pm today, you've got to finish it, no matter how energetic you feel.  Then there's the human factor. We are wired to be lazy. This comes from the days when we lived on the Savannah. Food was scarce, and we needed to conserve our energy for hunting food.  Then there were the winters when finding food was even harder. Only fatter people would survive winters because we needed to live largely on our fat deposits when we were unable to find food.  This is why it's easy to gain weight and much harder to lose it. Our body wants to store fat. It does not want to let it go.  While we consciously know food is not scarce for most of us today, our lizard brain doesn't know that. And our lizard brain controls our survival instincts, so it will override our conscious intelligence.  This means when we are feeling low on energy, the last thing we will do is open up our task managers and pick something to do.  Instead, we'll crash on the sofa or take a nap.  And so your low-energy list will keep growing.  Then there comes the question of how to define a medium-energy task. What does that mean?  It's likely you will define those tasks differently depending on how you feel on the day you process them.  The second way to organise your tasks that actually works is to go by when a task needs to be done.  Let's go back to the flight example. If you are planning your trip for September and want to get everything booked by the end of June, the window to complete that task is from now through to the end of June.  Given that you want to do this with your partner, it's likely you will do this task when you are with your partner.  If you are away on a ten-day business trip this week and next, you cannot do the task then, so don't put it on your list for this week or next.  As we are about to start May, I would add this task to my Next Month list. I don't need to do it now, but it will need to be on my list in June.  Hopefully, you are familiar with the Time Sector System. This organises your lists by when you will do them.  The only list in play each week is your This Week list. This contains all the tasks you have decided need to be done this week. Everything else is in either your Next Week, This Month, Next Month or long-term and on-hold lists.  Each week, you look at these lists and decide what to bring forward to your This Week list.  The simplicity of this method is that when you process your inbox, you are asking three simple questions: What is it? - Is it a task, an event, or a note? What do I need to do to complete it?  And, when will I do it?  In a very short time, you get super fast at processing your tasks, and with the exception of your long-term and on-hold list, none of your lists will grow out of control. Well, not if you give yourself about 30 minutes each week to maintain and update your lists.  Given that you are working from a single list, your This Week list, once again, you have the built-in safety valve because you can see how many tasks are on your list before the week begins and can adjust it to be more realistic if it becomes too large. The purpose of your long-term and on-hold list is to eliminate, not accumulate. In other words, every month or so, you go in there and delete tasks you no longer want or need to do.  To learn more about the Time Sector System, I have a course that will teach you how to use it as well as a comprehensive blog post explaining why this method works so well in today's world.  I will put links to both in the show notes for you.  So there you go, Ken. There are always new, exciting ways to organise your tasks, but ultimately it comes down to what needs to be done today. That's all that matters at the work level of managing our tasks.  Things that don't need to be done today should never be on your daily list.  Your energy levels will fluctuate throughout the day; it's not something you can control. Energy levels can be affected by the quality and quantity of your sleep, what you ate for lunch and whether you are coming down with a cold or the flu.  What you can control is what you do right now. You could take a nap, go for a walk or sit down and attack that list of prospects that you've been meaning to contact for the last three weeks.  My advice would be to work with what you have direct control over, and that ultimately comes down to when you will do something.  I hope that has helped Ken. Thank you for your question.  And thank you to you, too, for listening. It just remains for me now to wish you all a very, very productive week.

Lisa is back with another episode of the Little Lessons Series, where she answers your insightful questions about the complexities of working in the playroom. In this episode, Lisa dives deep into the theme of authenticity and how it plays a critical role in the therapist-client dynamic. Tune in as Lisa responds to 3 thought-provoking listener questions, exploring how to stay genuine and present when navigating imaginative play, emotional congruence, and handling personal questions from clients. In this episode, you'll hear: Carolyn's question: "When doing imagination play and a client assigns you a role, how do you play that role? I'm often asked to be a child and the client is the adult. I find I respond as the "child" in ways that either surprise my client or I'm given the exact lines and actions to portray. My version of the authentic child when I'm improvising without lines isn't always what the client expects, nor is it always the ideal example because I usually play what I would have felt/said/done as a child and wait for guidance from my client. Hmmm?" Lisa breaks down how to stay in the moment and respond from a place of genuineness and presence while allowing the child to lead. An anonymous listener asks: Please elaborate on the statement you (Lisa) made: "I have never seen a child damaged because the therapist was real. However, I have seen children who never deeply connected to their therapist and didn't go as deep as they could have gone because their therapist was too scared to share and express their authentic experience congruently." Lisa discusses how emotional congruence builds trust and safety, and why being authentic helps children connect more deeply in therapy. Patricia's question: "How do you handle personal questions from a child in session?" Lisa explains how to navigate personal inquiries while staying attuned to the therapeutic goals and the child's unique needs. Join Lisa for a rich, reflective conversation that offers practical insights for therapists looking to deepen their authenticity and connection in the playroom. *We love hearing from you!

SPEAKERS Evan Nappen, Teddy Nappen, Speaker 2 Evan Nappen 00:16 I’m Evan Nappen. Teddy Nappen 00:19 And I’m Teddy Nappen. Evan Nappen 00:21 And welcome to Gun Lawyer. So, my firm has done it again. We have won yet another Appellate Division gun case, and again coming out of Bergen County, which is notorious when it comes to denials of individuals regarding their gun rights. And we have yet another case here that’s very important, and we’re going to discuss it fully. It really is significant in what the Court is stating. It’s addressing problems that we’ve seen throughout the practice of gun law and the gun rights oppression that has taken place judicially. And the expansion is now, finally, apparently being curtailed. Evan Nappen 01:29 Let’s talk about this case. So, this case is “In the Matter of Compelling the Sale of Maya Kun’s Firearm”. And if you want to read the actual case, the link, of course, is online at our website, where we always put the transcript of the show. We’ll have the link to the case. (https://www.njcourts.gov/system/files/court-opinions/2026/a0076-24.pdf) But let’s take a look at what this case is about and its legal significance. The petitioner is a Maya Kun and appeals from an order compelling the sale of her handgun and prospectively barring her from being issued, you know, in the future, a handgun purchase permit and a firearm purchaser ID card. And what happened here? The police were called to Kun’s home. Her boyfriend, D.G., is what we’ll refer to him as, and as referred to in the case, was experiencing a mental health crisis. Kun voluntarily surrendered her firearm, and that’s a firearm for which she was licensed in New York on the day of the incident. Evan Nappen 02:47 The State then filed a motion to compel the sale of Kun’s firearm, which Bergen is notorious in doing, by the way. And following the hearing, the Court granted state’s motion and ordered Kun, as follows. Kun was “prohibited from owning, purchasing, possessing, or receiving firearms and/or ammunition, and from securing or holding an FPIC or HPP . . .”, being a Handgun Purchase Permit or a Firearms Page – 2 – of 12 Purchaser ID Card, “pursuant to N.J.S.A. 2C:58-3, or a permit to carry a handgun pursuant to N.J.S.A. 2C:58-4.” And the Court says that, after further review of the record and applicable law, we conclude the trial court erred in compelling the sale of Kun’s firearm and reverse and remand for an order consistent with this opinion. Evan Nappen 03:47 And the facts are interesting in this case, and I’ll just give you it in a nutshell. Kun called local police. Kun was a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine and specializes in child psychology. The police responded to Kun’s home after being informed by a third party that Kun’s live-in boyfriend D.G. had made concerning statements about wanting to harm himself. Upon arrival, Kuhn said that D.G. had been drinking heavily and planned to kill himself over anguish regarding the anniversary of his mother’s death. The officer that came there smelled alcohol, said D.G. was mildly aggressive, had a bruise above his right eye from where he fell while intoxicated, allegedly, and the officers eventually decided to transport D.G. to the hospital for evaluation. D.G. was evaluated and sent home that same day. Evan Nappen 04:55 Now, Kuhn had voluntarily surrendered her firearm to the police on that day. The firearm was a Glock 19, and it was stored in a safe in the primary bedroom, accessible only with a code and a key. The firearm was removed after D.G. was placed in an ambulance and sent to the hospital. Kuhn had a New York Firearms ID Card for the Glock, and she didn’t have a New Jersey license. But, as you should know, in your home, under N.J.S. 2C:39-6.e., you can possess a firearm without a license in New Jersey under that exemption. Kun testified that they lived together for three years, and she was the only person who had access to the gun safe. And in response to questioning by the trial court, who often acts very aggressive in questioning in that court, we’ve experienced it and seen it, said that she would have given D.G. access to her gun because she had no concerns about his mental health. However, later in the hearing, she corrected that earlier statement and said she would not have given access. And at the hearing, Kun also produced, however, keep this in mind, a letter from D.G.’s psychoanalyst, which said that he’s been seeing him for symptoms related to the mother’s passing and does not have any concerns related to suicide or homicide on his part. And this includes during the episode in question, which led to all this, and around the anniversary of the mother’s death. He has no history of violence and hasn’t had a drink in a year. And despite losing his father two months ago, he attends AA and in his professional opinion, he does not pose any danger to society or himself. Now that was on D.G., of course. The trial court found both officers credible and concluded D.G. was disqualified from having gun licenses and that he was likely to engage in conduct other than justified self-defense that would pose a danger to himself or others. And that’s of course, under N.J.S. 2C:58-3(c). Evan Nappen 07:12 The court also found, here’s where the rub comes in, that Kun, our client, was not fit to own a gun, as she was a threat to health, safety or welfare of the public if issued a firearm. And in making its decision, the Court considered only Kun’s statement that she was willing to give D.G. access to the gun safe despite his mental health and did not credit her later testimony, correcting the earlier statement. In sum, the court held. Quote. This is the court’s holding. This is court in the trial court. “In my view, given the totality of evidence here, it is common sense given the fact that you would give access to a person who clearly has been very troubled. Who’s expressed suicidal ideation, has had an issue with alcoholism Page – 3 – of 12 and continues to treat with a psychologist for the past year, that cohabitates with you. Given the totality of evidence here, and your initial answer to me that you wouldn’t hesitate to give him access to firearms, I do find that the State has met its burden by a preponderance of the evidence and you’re disqualified pursuant to 2C:58-3.” The Appellate Court says, we review a trial court’s legal conclusions regarding firearm licenses de novo. They look at it anew. Evan Nappen 08:35 They then in the opinion, which you can read, reiterate through case law. Reviewing all the case law and such, the court says, as N.J.S. 2C:58-3 governs the issuance of handgun purchase permits and firearms purchaser ID cards, a person may not receive either if they are “known in the community in which the person lives as someone who has engaged in acts or made statements suggesting the person is likely to engage in conduct, other than justified self-defense, that would pose a danger to self or others.” The Court then says later down in the opinion, “The statute does not require that an applicant provide information regarding other members of the applicant’s household, although there are requirements regarding the safekeeping of a firearm from minors.” Let me just tell you, folks. We run into this a lot, where guns that belong to innocent third parties in a home get confiscated due to the actions or conditions or issues of a third party in a home. Evan Nappen 10:01 Of the other party, and here the court is saying very clearly, the statute doesn’t require that the applicant provide information about other, about others. Further in the opinion, it says that the trial court erred in disqualifying Kun based on D.G.’s alleged mental health struggles. All of the disqualifiers under N.J.S. 2C:58-3(c) address the conduct of the firearm owner, not that of an adult third party who lives with the owner. Despite this clear language, the court’s opinion was overwhelmingly focused on D.G.’s conduct and risk propensity. The trial court found D.G. was disqualified from having a handgun purchase permit or firearm purchaser ID card pursuant to several disqualifiers, including reputation in the community, mental illness, prior and voluntary commitment, character, temperament posing a threat to public health, safety, welfare. The Court considered the letter from D.G.’s psychoanalyst as a “net opinion” and insufficient to prove D.G. no longer suffers from that particular disability in a manner that would interfere with or handicap them in the handling of a firearm. Evan Nappen 11:38 But D.G. was not the owner of the gun. The weapon has not been seized from him. There was no domestic violence order in place, and he was not seeking a handgun purchase permit or firearm purchaser ID card. Folks, this goes at this giant bugaboo, this issue that has been plaguing New Jersey gun owners, that leads to confiscations, that leads to individuals losing their rights because of another. And the court has addressed it here. “The court had no reason to make findings regarding D.G.” The State did not present evidence or prove issuance of a firearm to D.G. would be a threat to health, safety, or welfare from possessing. The incident in question happened over a year ago. The State presented officers responded to the scene, but they did not proffer any evidence regarding D.G.’s present condition, etc. So, all this discussion about D.G., all that, whatever, the bottom line is that’s not about Kun. Page – 4 – of 12 Teddy Nappen 12:54 Out of curiosity, applying this to what they’re trying to push now with the, what was it, the household background check. Evan Nappen 13:01 Well, this is just the thing. This is why they’re even trying to put legislation to make it part of the law that you can be disqualified because of somebody else. But that is not the law. And listen to this. The court then said, compounding the error, the trial court in Bergen then attributed the risk it found in D.G. to Kun because of her statement. “She wouldn’t hesitate to give D.G. access to the firearm in her safe.” Solely due to this statement, the court disqualified her under health, safety, welfare. The courts find that Kuhn wouldn’t hesitate to give D.G. access is not supported by substantial, credible evidence. The only basis of this finding was Kun’s answer, which she later clarified to the following hypothetical questions. Evan Nappen 14:01 This is a from the transcript from the hearing. Court: Would you ever give him access to the combination or key? A. Yes, I would. I don’t have any. And then the court interrupts, You would give him access? Answer. I don’t have concerns for him being suicidal or homicidal. I’m a psychiatrist myself. So, I don’t, I mean, you probably want me to say I wouldn’t, but like honestly, I don’t have. Court: Oh no, I don’t want you to say anything other than the truth, okay? Answer. I am telling you the truth. He’s sober. He’s not, this was a one time thing. He was grieving his mother. He drank for those six days. When the officers came in, he was taken to the hospital. The psychiatrist there evaluated him deemed him not a suicidal homicidal. Sent him home the same day. He’s been in therapy. I think his therapist provided a letter. The therapist also has not been concerned for his safety. Evan Nappen 15:01 Now this is the appellate court. “It was unreasonable for the court to construe this answer as anything other than Kun’s expression of her confidence in D.G.’s mental health and current stability. Far more probative testimony elicited at the hearing revealed Kun responsibly stored her firearm by locking it in a safe, accessible only to her. Moreover, she testified, in the three years she and D.G. had lived together before the incident, D.G. had never requested nor was ever given access to the firearm. The trial court’s finding lacks support in this record. Moreover, the trial court’s interpretation N.J.S. 2C:58-3(c) improperly engrafted a storage requirement onto the statute.” Although there is a storage requirement for minors, there exists no New Jersey statute regulating the storage of firearms for people who cohabitate with other adults. Simply put, Kuhn was under no legal obligation to lock away her firearm simply because she lived with D.G. It is not the court’s role to rewrite NJ law 2C:58-3 to impose such a requirement. State v. Jones. Citing State v. Jones. It is not our job to engraft requirements on a statute that the Legislature did not include. Rather, it is our role to enforce the legislative intent as expressed through the words used by the Legislature. Evan Nappen 17:04 So, this is a great case. It addresses something that is seriously ongoing throughout New Jersey as a basis for search and seizure. We see this take place in ERPOSs. You know, the ERPOs, Extreme Risk Protection Orders, where third party guns get taken. We see it happen in domestic violence, where innocent third parties, who have nothing to do with the DV at all, where it’s often, you know, let’s say the Page – 5 – of 12 parents, but it’s the son and the girlfriend. Not the parents. Their guns get taken, too, and vice versa, when they’re not at all involved. And then you see the State saying, oh, well, these people are disqualified, so you’re disqualified, too. It’s this ridiculous approach of just having an agenda of disenfranchisement of Second Amendment rights based on the act of third parties and the Kun case stands in sharp Appellate contrast to those ongoing activities that take place every day throughout the New Jersey courts. So, keep this case in mind. Teddy Nappen 18:31 Just to extrapolate off of this case, one of the things, because we know New Jersey down the pike, they’re going to try for this. They’re going to try to do this, family background check. What would be some of the legal grounds? Because you’re effectively, what you are doing is denying someone a civil right based on the fact that there’s someone who potentially should not be able to access or act or use said civil right. So that’d be the equivalent of, oh, I live with a, I live with someone who has a criminal conviction who can’t vote. So, therefore you can’t vote as well. Like it’s the. I don’t see the value. Evan Nappen 19:10 Well, what if somebody in your household posted threats online? Do you now? Does the court say I’m sorry, but you are not allowed to go and use your computer anymore because somebody might access your computer and write something unlawful. Do you lose your First Amendment rights because of a third party? No. You know this idea of costing us our rights. These are individual rights. Let’s underline and bold that word individual rights. Okay? They’re the rights of the individual. They’re not shared rights amongst a group. They’re the person’s rights. And the courts are and should never be able to take away one person’s rights because of another person. Why is that? Because we have no control over others. Who do we have control? Who do we have responsibility for? Ourselves! Who do we have authority over? Ourselves! All right? It is therefore absolutely unfair and absurd that an individual would lose their rights because of another and that is a slippery slope that we cannot go down. Evan Nappen 21:07 So, we’re finally getting case law that is pulling back this practice. It’s wrong. It is not justified under New Jersey law. It’s not justified under New Jersey licensing law. It’s not justified under New Jersey gun law, under the disqualifiers. And the court here makes that crystal clear why Bergen County was wrong in what they did, and this is something that has infected the system, and we have to be on guard and alert. We finally have a case law that is extremely instructive in this matter, and you can read it for yourselves, folks. And like I said, the link will be right there, and you’ll be able to read the case in its entirety.

Teddy Nappen 24:28 Well, as you know, and you stole my line, Press Checks are actually free. I always want to look towards what would be if the Left had unfettered power. Where they pack the court, control the House, Senate, and President, what would they do? We don’t even have to look that far, because we are reminded to our neighbors of the North how completely, utterly insane they are when it comes to destruction of their rights. Canada, as we’ve spoken before, remember, they were doing a buyback program, the voluntary, even though it’s not it’s voluntary mandatory, even though they say, oh, it’s a voluntary program. Such a voluntary program that you have to turn it in or you’re going to be committing a felony. Yeah. Very voluntary. So, March 31 was the drop dead date of when you had to turn in your firearms that were banned. And this is the scheme that they’re pushing. This was done by the Minister of Public Safety, Gary Anandasangaree. I’m probably mispronouncing that. I don’t care. This is an gun right suppressor. So, this was their push. And after all. Evan Nappen 25:49 He’s a hose head. He’s a hose head. Teddy Nappen 25:52 Yeah, an imported hose head, let’s just say. But the one thing I always love is they show the breakdown numbers. This was from Colin Noir, a great Second Amendment guy. He won the Gundies Award for male influencer. A great individual.

Teddy Nappen 26:14 He did a good breakdown, along with Rebel News, where they talked about how out of all their gun grabbing, it got to 2.5% of the firearms in the country, which was effectively 52,000 out of 2 million of the of the confirmed guns. By the way, not to mention all the other stuff that people probably, you know, buried. Evan Nappen 26:39 Oh, like, you know that, wait, that’s what BATF stands for, by the way. It stands for Bury All Thy Firearms. Yes. Okay, go ahead. Teddy Nappen 26:49 Including the E for everywhere. But so I love how they point out, like, okay, we’ve screwed this up. So, now what? There was an exchange between the Minister Gary and the House of Commons Member Dane Lloyd, who pointed out the failure and explained. So, the plan was in quote, March 31 was the time to complete the enrollment. And what is the option? What is to be done? Well, they’re going to roll out the Royal Mounted Police and other agencies will be available in the spring and summer to do the collection. Okay, that’s a very Canada way of saying they’re going to send mounted police and other agencies to come into your house and take your property. Evan Nappen 27:40 Oh, God. I suddenly thought of that Mountie from the old Bullwinkle, Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon. Teddy Nappen 27:47 Oh, yeah, what was his name? Evan Nappen 27:50 I don’t remember. But anyway, that would be, that’d be a good meme. They did the live action. Give me your guns with him. Hand over your guns. Please, may we have your guns? No, it’s Canadian. They’ll be very nice about it. Please, may we have your guns? Right. Teddy Nappen 28:04 Yeah. Oh, Dudley Do-Right. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dudley_Do-Right) Evan Nappen 28:07 Dudley. Oh, perfect. Teddy Nappen 28:09 Dudley Do-Right. Evan Nappen 28:11 Dudley Do-Right. Could it be any better? This is the Dudley Do-Right gun confiscation scheme. Page – 8 – of 12 Teddy Nappen 28:18 Yes. Evan Nappen 28:19 Dudley Do-Right. Yeah. Oh, perfect, exactly. Teddy Nappen 28:23 Yeah. And by the way, they pointed out, after the, after the Minister recommended they use the Mounted Police, the House of Commons, Lloyd responded Minister, I find that very concerning. We’re going to send police officers door to door as frankly, many police forces across the country are refusing to participate in the program. Evan Nappen 28:51 Oh, man. I’m so shocked about that. They don’t want to go around and take citizens guns. I wonder why? Why? Teddy Nappen 28:59 Yeah. Yeah, gee, I wonder from the fact that they are disarming their people. The fact that Canada has a rampant crime wave, which, by the way, remember Canada’s the first of mass shooters. And the ’90s were even worse in Canada, and on top of which, their economy is already teetering. Their budget is overblown from the social safety net. Now, on top of the fact that they’re very thinly stretched forces, they’re going to send them door to door to people. I love this guy’s response, where he said, oh, don’t worry. We’re going to look to. The Minister said we’re going to look to voluntary, either retired police, or off-duty police, to go to the households. Evan Nappen 29:45 Oh, even better. I’m sure retired police wait to go door to door to try to take citizens’ guns in Canada. I’m sure they’ll volunteer in droves to do that. I mean, come on. Teddy Nappen 29:59 Well, I love how they stress the term. This is a voluntary program. We’re not, we’re not expecting much resistance. This is just voluntary, Evan Nappen 30:08 Yeah, voluntary! Teddy Nappen 30:10 Yeah. How much was that? And bear in mind, this comes from like the firearm, their version of the NRA, the Firearms Rights Coalition of Canada. (https://firearmrights.ca/1500-guns-banned-from-law-abiding-canadians/) Their fighters who point out the failure of this where, not only, by the way, not only were they saying, oh, we’re not going to come for your guns. They clearly are. I love, it’s just it drives me nuts. In 2010 Justin Trudeau, when he did an interview about the mass registration, what were the words? I always hear the argument that registration of guns will lead to the taking away of guns from Page – 9 – of 12 everyone. That’s just not true. The argument is false because we have a gun culture in Canada. We are just trying to do common sense. Evan Nappen 30:52 Oh, right. It’s always common sense. Listen, we know the four words, and we’ll say it again in case you don’t. Legislation. And then what comes next is Registration. Then Confiscation, and after that is Extermination. We’ve seen it repeat throughout history. Every major Holocaust is preceded by taking the guns. And you can see what lack of guns does in let’s say Iran. You want the people to rise up. You want them to knock out that evil terrorist regime? Cuba. Again, in all these places. What do you have? You have disarmed the population. So, Canada is going down the road of disarmament, and it is always a road that is paved to hell. Teddy Nappen 31:36 And the Coalition highlights then in 2020 the banning of 1500 different models of their version of assault weapons. The ending of buy, sale, transfer or use of military assault weapons. What is that? They don’t know. Evan Nappen 31:54 They don’t know. Just seize the gun. And here’s the thing, they’re having trouble getting anybody to go and seize the guns. And yet, that raises an interesting question, doesn’t it, Teddy? Teddy Nappen 32:11 Yes. Evan Nappen 32:12 And what is that? That we were talking about? Teddy Nappen 32:15 Well, I under, well, we were getting to the fact that the main issue, and the Left know this is the hardest part. If they had the power, they would. They want to do this. They want to disarm the people. Evan Nappen 32:28 Of course! This is, this is their end game goal, their end game. Teddy Nappen 32:32 But the issue is the feasibility, because they have to get so much cooperation from the police, from the locals, and that’s why it failed in Australia. They still can’t even get the guns through. They’re trying to do it now, and they, and half the country, isn’t complying. In the U.K., anywhere they go, they cannot get the compliance. Evan Nappen 32:51 So, what might be a mechanism that they can use? Page – 10 – of 12 Teddy Nappen 32:53 This where, this is where it’s going to come down to at this point, robots. They’re going to use robots. Evan Nappen 32:59 Wait a minute. Now, people might laugh. They might laugh and say, robots? That sounds ridiculous. But stop a minute. Stop a minute. We are entering into a new world. Within about a year or so, Elon Musk will be selling his robots, and robots are going to become a way of life. Just like, you know, years ago, you may not have even believed the internet could exist. You may not have believed GPS could exist. All these things. AI is exploding. Yet robots are the future. We see. What are drones that we’re fighting wars with? They’re flying robots, when you get right down to it. So, robots are going to become a tool, and they are arguably a threat to our gun rights in the future because robots can be used to actually effectuate the confiscation of guns. Think about it. Officers, normally, are not going to want to go, and may even in fact, refuse to go, if they have taken their oath seriously, to take guns from law-abiding citizens. But you know, who won’t refuse? Robots. Robots won’t refuse. Evan Nappen 34:24 You may don’t think of robots like a 1950s sci-fi movie. Modern robots are kind of amazing, and they can do things that people do. And they’re going to get better and better and better at doing those very things. Do not be surprised. And you can say, hey, I remember hearing this way back on Gun Lawyer, way back years ago. And it won’t even be that long ago, I heard about robots taking on a role of law enforcement. I could well see robots coming to houses talking about guns that they believe are there. Even having scientific mechanisms in them that can sniff for guns, that can search for guns. I mean, look, what do they do now with dogs? They have it, right? They have it now with Wi Fi, right? Teddy Nappen 35:21 Where you’re walking into. Evan Nappen 35:22 Right! Teddy Nappen 35:22 If you walk somewhere, it can actually track if you’re carrying. Evan Nappen 35:26 So, don’t, don’t right. And, yeah, don’t discount this. Teddy Nappen 35:31 Go a step further. Now apply it to, okay, think drones. Now they get the anti-gun whack nut group where you have the appeal to authority, where, like, oh, I’m supposed to do this, and controlling the robot from a screen, because that takes away the human element, where they’re no longer going door to door. Now you’re just sending some robot and commanding it to get the gun without being there. Without, like, following the logic, because it’s what they’re training them all for. Page – 11 – of 12 Evan Nappen 35:58 Right! And now they don’t have to face the homeowner and they and it’s more impersonal. They can demand the seizure and have literally a robot army to seize guns. You think it’s laughable? I don’t. I don’t. Because they will stop at nothing to disarm us if we ever quit in our fight. The eternal vigilance that it takes to maintain our rights, and this will become a tool of the oppressionists to steal our rights, to take our guns, to essentially enslave us. That’s their goal. Teddy Nappen 36:39 Take it a step further to the Milgram experiment. You remember that? The famous experiment where the whole idea is you have someone in the room, and they’re supposed to test like, elect like electrical shocks to basically make it so you can react. There’s someone at the lab turning the dial, and they know full well. If they turn it higher it’s going to kill the person, but they keep turning it. Then the guy in lab coat goes, well, the experiment has to continue. You have to turn the dial. And that appeal to authority. And you know what really screws up every time they do this? 90% of the people turn that dial to kill someone. So, now apply that to where you’re controlling this robot and disarming it. Well, we have to do this because it’s for your safety. They have no standards to the Left. This is what they want. If they had the means to disarm you, they will. But currently, they are not. It’s not feasible. Don’t get. Evan Nappen 37:35 Well, I guess we’re gonna see all kinds of gun testing on robots. I’m assuming we’re going to see reports of that. Because what happens if a robot goes crazy and gets dangerous? What rounds are the best at stopping robots? Hmmm? Teddy Nappen 37:55 Ten millimeter. Evan Nappen 37:56 Maybe 10. I don’t think. Do we have to move up to a big 50? Probably not. We’ll see where the weak spots are in robots and all that kind of stuff. It may come down to some interesting times as the old curse goes. I’ll tell you, folks, beware, and stay vigilant. I think there is. We can never lose sight of what their end game is, and that is disarmament of the individual so that we can be controlled. And this goes to the very heart of what the Second Amendment is about. The Second Amendment ain’t about duck hunting, folks. It’s about a check on tyranny. It’s about enemies, both foreign and domestic. It is about our insurance policy for our freedom and to remain free. And these things are threats. As science and technology progresses, there’s so many wonderful things that can come from it. I’m not anti-progress or anti-science, but there also can be a lot of danger. I can foresee this danger, so stay vigilant. Evan Nappen 39:06 Hey, let me tell you about this week’s GOFU. Now this week’s GOFU. You know, GOFUs are Gun Owner Fuck Ups. This is where you get to learn very cheap, meaning, for free, what can be very expensive lessons. And this week’s GOFU is this. If you’re transporting or carrying a gun, know your destination. Know where you’re going, and make sure that where you’re going doesn’t put you into a trap. And let me tell you right now, I have cases where individuals, maybe on the job or otherwise, or they get diverted because of some emergency, or they’re going to do something and don’t realize that Page – 12 – of 12 they are ending up, let’s say, for example, on military property, or at a protected port, for example, or at any other place like that where firearms are prohibited. If you enter these places, search of vehicles is absolutely permitted, and you’re essentially consenting to it by just coming up to that gate. And if you come up to that gate with a gun, you’re going to have a problem. You’ve got to know where you’re going to end up with your firearm, and even if that wasn’t where you were intending to go, you have to realize that suddenly you could have trouble. You could have a problem. Evan Nappen 40:35 If you’re in your vehicle with a firearm, and you end up having to go not just to a New Jersey sensitive place, but we’re talking about having to go on to property where there’s going to be active searching for firearms and where firearms themselves are prohibited, that can be a trap. We have cases where it has become a trap, and it is absolutely a GOFU. So, folks, be aware, be clear. Make sure you don’t bring your firearm to a prohibited place, and be very careful about Federal places that you may have to enter into that will pose this risk to you and your guns. Evan Nappen 41:25 This is Evan Nappen and Teddy Nappen reminding you that gun laws don’t protect honest citizens from criminals. They protect criminals from honest citizens.

What if the key to mental clarity isn't knowing more—but resisting the urge to know too quickly? In this episode, Dr. JC Doornick explores the idea of becoming a “Freethinker” through the simple yet powerful “Hmmm” pause—Haven't Made Up My Mind. Inspired by insights from Nir Eyal and grounded in the Interface Response System (Perceive, Pause, Process, Proceed), this conversation challenges the modern pressure to rush into certainty and instead invites you into a space of curiosity, cognitive flexibility, and emotional precision. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, reactive, or stuck in your thinking, this episode offers a practical mindset shift to help you slow down, see more clearly, and respond with intention instead of impulse.

Celebrity gossip lip-readers have changed the game. Because of them we know Timothée Chalamet hated the Oscars, King Charles says F and Prince William had no time for 'Andrew’s' apology. So is that ‘zero privacy’ development fair play? And what DID Timmy say to his sister about Kylie Jenner? In other scurrilous gossip, we’re meant to think that Nicole Kidman has a new friends-to-lovers boyfriend, and that Keith Urban is 'reeling'. Hmmm. Plus, peptides are the new cottage cheese, in demand from both older women and teenage boys. Except, unregulated, they can be rather more dangerous than a protein-heavy snack. So what the hell is a peptide, and how worried should we be about influencers spruiking them? (Hint: Very) 'Our' Queen Mary is touring Australia and once upon a time, that would have guaranteed tabloid mayhem. These days everything is… quieter.

It's a road edition of The Loftus Party podcast with Michael Loftus! Yup. I recorded this one while in Louisville KY! Who doesn't like KY?! What? Here's what's on the show this week. All the news that matters! And this week that's the Save Act, standing up for what's right, not getting distracted with stuff like Iran, and March madness BS. Someone or some group of someone's working us like a sheep dog works a group of sheep. That's the metaphor I'm going with anyway. That's how it feels and frankly I don't care for it. Anyone remember Occupy Wall St? What happened there? Why did that just evaporate? Hmmm. Funny how that works. We'll talk about all the news and have some laughs along the way. All on this week's episode of The Loftus Party podcast! Want to show your support and get all the cool extras? We're on Locals and Patreon! Join up. Join in. Let us begin!

   In an absolutely shocking twist in DC, longtime wishy washy Republican John Cornyn of Texas has come out in favor of blowing up the filibuster in the Senate to fund DHS and pass the Save America Act.  Hmmm, where have you heard that idea before?  Well, it's hard for Cornyn to look sincere in this as he faces a runoff against conservative Ken Paxton to determine November's GOP candidate.. but we'll take it.  Sometimes, even when the will of the people is heard, it feels hollow.    Meanwhile, President Trump and Marco Rubio have offered Cuba's leadership an off ramp with a solid economic deal that will fundamentally change life for all the great people living there.  It's a simple offer.... you leave and let the people elect who they want and we will always protect Cuba and do business and make you wealthy and great.  After Venezuela and Iran... let's see if they are smart enough to take the deal.    Officials in California, including Gavin Newsom, go public that they've been informed the state could be a target for unmanned Iranian drones off unknown vessels in the Pacific just off the coast.    Pasquatch went nuts for team Italy in the World Baseball Classic with a record three home runs in a win over Mexico.  It sends the USA to the quarterfinals as well... and then Vinnie said some really strange things in his post game comments.    Bill Self is asked about retiring as KU gets ready for TCU Thursday night.  Mizzou has a big one as a three point underdog versus Kentucky.  The NFL wants to add another marquee, stand alone game around a certain holiday and Tom Brady sets the record for all time media gaffe by a former player.
