Podcasts about Hostility

We bear witness to walking with Jesus as we offer hospitality and prioritize the presence of Jesus to the presentation of Jesus.

We bear witness to walking with Jesus as we offer hospitality and prioritize the presence of Jesus to the presentation of Jesus.Message by Devin Burton, "Hospitality in a Culture of Hostility" as part of our "Enlarging the Circle" series. Message from July 20, 2025. Centralia Community Church, Centralia, WA. cccog.com We are choosing to walk with Jesus, and on this journey we learn that we're meant to be in community. When we construct borders that keep us from God, we miss the joy of the Lord. Do we have the eyes of Christ when we see the “others” in our life? As we approach the throne in faith, we will find freedom, salvation, rest, and compassion. Let's begin enlarging the circle.

In today's sterling episode of The Evolved Caveman Podcast, Dr. John Schinnerer teams up with John O'Brien, a licensed psychologist & executive coach from Portland, Maine. Together, the Johns tackle the epidemic of rudeness plaguing our workplaces, political lives, and homes. From defining rudeness and its various types—interpersonal, cyber, and victimless—to exploring anger, incivility, and the startling impact of hostile individuals like some rude surgeons on our physical health, this episode is packed with actionable insights. They even delve into the effects of social media outrage and the challenge of maintaining self-awareness in a world that seems to reward snarky comments. Whether you're dealing with drama in your personal life or just trying to keep your cool on social media, this candid discussion is a must-listen.

A new chapter in the fractious relationship between Iran and the US began this week with America's bombing of three Iranian nuclear-development sites; Iran's retaliatory strike on a US military base in Qatar, and the tentative ceasefire in the Israel-Iran war announced by President Donald Trump.The two countries have history: Key dates include 1953 when a CIA-orchestrated a coup, with British support, overthrew Iran's democratically elected government and installed the monarch in exile, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi – the Shah of Iran; 1979 when Iranians, rebelling against his autocratic rule and fuelled by anti-American sentiment ousted the Shah putting the theocratic revolutionaries in power with their hard-line rule; November 4th, 1979 when Iranian students held more than 50 American citizens hostage at the US Embassy in Tehran in captivity for 444 days; and 1980 when US-Iran diplomatic relations broke down and stayed that way until US President Barack Obama struck a deal in 2013 with Iran to curtail its burgeoning nuclear programme.In his first presidency Trump called that nuclear deal “the worse deal over” and pulled the US out. This left the way open for Iran to ramp up its nuclear programme.But what happens now? Are the days of diplomacy over and how will Iran react?Borzou Daraghi, Iranian-American journalist and long-time Middle East-based Journalist, explains.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

In February 2022, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. China has never condemned the invasion, and its government and media have carefully avoided using term “Ukraine War,” opting instead to refer to the war as the “Ukraine crisis,” the “Russia-Ukraine conflict,” or the “special military operation,” a term that echoes Moscow's language. Beijing's approach to the Ukraine War has included support for Russia, a commitment China's own principles, including respecting Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and a professed desire for peace.This episode's discussion will focus on China's evolving posture toward the war and China's relationship with Ukraine. Joining the podcast this episode is Dr. Vita Golod, who is a Junior Research Fellow at the A. Yu Krymskyi Institute of Oriental Studies, National Academy Sciences of Ukraine, and a Visiting Adjunct Instructor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.She is also the co-founder of the Ukrainian Platform for Contemporary China and a board member of the Ukrainian Association of Sinologists.  Timestamps[00:00] Start[01:35] China's Relationship with Ukraine Prior to Russia's Invasion[05:06] President Zelenskyy's Accusations Against China [08:20] Contemporary Ukrainian Perceptions of Relations with China [12:14] Ukrainian Perceptions of Sino-Russian Relations[16:25] China as a Mediator and Peacemaker[19:06] China's Interests in the Outcome of the Russo-Ukrainian War[21:21] What concrete steps could China take to facilitate peace? [23:14] China's Role in the Post-War Reconstruction of Ukraine[28:08] The Future of Sino-Ukrainian Relations

Na'hum. (consolation). Nahum, called "the Elkoshite," is the seventh, in order, of the Minor Prophets. The name refers back to Yahweh's compassion connected with Jonah's mission eighty-seven years before. The name Nahum is an abbreviated form of the name Nehemiah, which means “Comfort of Yahweh.”What is the purpose of this book? The book of Nahum is devoted exclusively to the announcement of the destruction of the city of Nineveh; the prophecy gave hope to the people of Judah who had long been terrorized by Assyria's constant and ominous threatBefore I get into this study, I continue with our study on what the Capital Building is all about. Was the Capital design to be a Temple set up by the founders of the New World Order?  In this study, I take a look at the man who is at the center of all this George Washington. We must ask ourselves, “Was Washington a Man of God? Or God-Man?”In this study I will finish Chapter 32:1 - 3:19. DESTRUCTION OF NINEVEH.   2:1-2. Yahweh's. = challenge to fight.   2:3-10.

Judgment. = Devastation.   3:18-19. Causes. = Hostility14  Yahweh mocks Assyria's futile strength (14-15a)Draw thee = Draw for thyself. Draw thee waters for the siege = Nahum practically mocked the people of Nineveh, cheering them on to do the best they could in light of the coming judgment. They could prepare as many provisions and people as they pleased, but it would all come to nothing against the judgment of Yahweh.Two forms of preparation are given.1.       Water: “Draw for yourself water for a siege!” (14a)1.       Needed for survival if cut off and Nineveh being surrounded.2.       Adding to fortification: “Strengthen your fortifications!” (14b) = How will be given with details in the rest of the verse.15   There = in the very scene of thy great preparations for defense; and where thou now art so secure. fire = even as at the former destruction; cankerworm = the young locust. Hebrew. yelek.  “the licking locust”Yahweh predicts Assyria's weakened economy (15b-17)make thyself many = [though thou be] numerous. Figure of speech Irony. locusts = the young locust. Hebrew 'arbeh. make thyself many as the locusts = “the swarming locusts”; that is, however “many” be thy forces, like those of “the swarming locusts,” or the “licking locusts,” yet the foe shall consume thee as the “licking locust” licks up all before it.17  In this verse Nahum is speaking of those who were loyal to the government – i.e. Government workers. Assyria was full of merchants. These were going to be like food for the enemy. All the people who worked in this empire were going to flee away, like locusts that flee to the hills. This means that there would be no loyalty, to the empire, among the government officials.18  Now we see the eulogy in the last 2 verses. Shepherds are those who are supposed to be watching and guarding the helpless sheep (citizens). The noblemen move elsewhere so as to not be identified as a part of this empire. They abandon Assyria. Sin brings about abandonment in a person's life. 19   King's death predictedHave any questions?

Na'hum. (consolation). Nahum, called "the Elkoshite," is the seventh, in order, of the Minor Prophets. His personal history is quite unknown. The site of Elkosh, his native place, is disputed, some placing it in Galilee, others in AssyriaThe name refers back to Yahweh's compassion connected with Jonah's mission eighty-seven years before. The name Nahum is an abbreviated form of the name Nehemiah, which means “Comfort of Yahweh.”What is the purpose of this book? The book of Nahum is devoted exclusively to the announcement of the destruction of the city of Nineveh; the prophecy gave hope to the people of Judah who had long been terrorized by Assyria's constant and ominous threatBefore I get into this study, I continue with our study on what the Capital Building is all about. Was the Capital design to be a Temple set up by the founders of the New World Order?  In this study, I take a look at the man who is at the center of all this George Washington. We must ask ourselves, “Was Washington a Man of God? Or God-Man?”Beginning with this Chapter 2 and in this Chapter 3 we now read of Nineveh's destruction.As we continue is this Chapter 3 verse 10, we still see the;2:1 - 3:19. DESTRUCTION OF NINEVEH.   2:1-2. Yahweh's. = challenge to fight.   2:3-10. Judgment. = Invasion.   2:11-13; 3:1-7. Causes. = Hostility.  3:8-10. Examples. = Citation.   3:11-13. Examples. = Application.   3:14. Yahweh's. = challenge to fight.   3:15-17. Judgment. = Devastation.   3:18-19. Causes. = Hostility With everything going on, Yahweh reminds Nineveh that Thebes was destroyed (10)Yet was she, &c = The cuneiform monuments tell us that Thebes, the old capital of Egypt, was destroyed by Assyria about 663 B.C. She = i.e. Thebes. Therefore, Nineveh too will fall (11)Yahweh's judgment has an eternal aspect, it never ends. Yahweh can be comforted by His judgment.Thou = i.e. Nineveh. We as a nation are like the Ninevites. We see empires and nations judged in our own day and in history, just like the Assyrians saw Thebes destroyed. Yet we, like the Ninevites, somehow think that we will be spared, despite our sinful arrogance and rebellion.be drunken = i.e. drink of the cup [of judgment]; or, be stupefied by thy calamity. be hid = hide thyself. strength = strength [for defense]; hence = "thou shalt seek a stronghold, or refuge [in vain]". Have you know guys in the military that like to brag? Well listen to what the Yahweh has to say!12  Your strongholds are fig trees with ripened figs = As easily as ripe fruit falls from a shaken tree, so would the strongholds of Nineveh fall before the judgment of Yahweh. We often have our strongholds of sin and pride that we put great confidence in, but they are ready to be shaken and fall to the ground.13  thy people = thy soldiers.women = unable to fight for thee (Isa. 19:16; Jerm. 50:37; 51:30).gates on thy land = the fortified passes or entrances to the region of Nineveh (compare Jerm. 15:7). Northeast of Nineveh there were hills affording a natural barrier against an invader; the guarded passes through these are probably “the gates of the land” meant.fire shall devour thy bars = the “bars” of the fortresses at the passes into Assyria. So in Assyrian remains the Assyrians themselves are represented as setting fire to the gates of a cityJoin me as we go Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Unraveling the Words of Yahweh!Have any questions?

The cause. = HostilityIn our last study we started to see why Yahweh is so mad with Nineveh. In verse 1 Yahweh states that Nineveh is a ‘bloody city, full of lies and robbery' and verse 4 we see Yahweh showing us that Nineveh was a city of ‘whoredoms, a mistress of witchcrafts and a seller to other nations through her whoredoms and witchcrafts' We need to know Yahweh's punishment of Nineveh and its outcome (5-7), so we have an idea of what to expect1.       Yahweh is the one who punishes: Note the first-person singular pronouns used here by Yahweh2.     “Behold, I am against you” (5a) = Recall Nahum 2:133.       First three lines focuses on Nineveh being humiliated like a prostitute's shame with public nudity: “And I will lift up your skirts over your face, And show the nations your nakedness, And the kingdoms your shame” (5b)         1.       Assyrian laws prohibit prostitutes wearing veils, something only a married woman can wear so when a prostitute is caught wearing one she is publicly stripped at the entry of the palace after she is found guilty, as a punishment        2.       Given the reference to Nineveh's deceit in Nahum 3:1 and 3:4 this might be the parallel that explain Nineveh's punishment of being shame with nakedness as a punishment. Thus we see Nineveh's own law turn against itself        3.       Assyrian goddess Ishtar often appeals to followers with art work of her naked body; but this exposure is not seductive as it is exposing the horror of what Nineveh's ugliness is like       4.       Rather than reveal to intoxicate Yahweh's punishment here is to repulse those who might otherwise might be tempted by her spell4.       Further shaming: “I will throw filth on you And declare you worthless, And set you up as a spectacle” (6)Have any questions?

With the eerie doll still in Mother Ireena's clutches, the question isn't if things will go wrong… It's how. Will they sneak, steal, or fight their way out? And just how much longer can they survive Barovia's twisted version of hospitality?

How should we respond to the hardships of God's discipline? I. Help the weary and wounded, vv12-13. II. Pursue harmony and holiness, v14. III. Don't miss grace or grow bitter, v15. IV. Flee immorality and idolatry, vv16-17.

It has been a big and bold week for the Say Reporters and we are here to share it all with you.First we get the penultimate recap of “Suits LA” out of the way and aside from the inclusion of Louis LItt it was just another example of why this show was ultimately cancelledThen Devon has a quiz for Sejohn comprised of the four questions he got wrong when putting his Adam Sandler knowledge to the test at a local pub trivia night focused on his filmsNext a brief examination of the now common practice of offering video games a few days earlier than release date at a premium cost and how we found a way to avoid that nonsense using old access codes and Xbox Game Pass.Finally we get to the real meat of the episode when we discuss all of the Brendan Fraser films that have been discussed on the show in celebration of Brendan Fraser History Month and construct a tier list based on our feelings about his performances in each.

Filled with joy and the Holy Spirit, Paul and Barnabas successfully preach the Gospel message even as they are persecuted.  (Lectonary #284) May 17, 2025 - Cathedral Rectory - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com

In this episode of The Next Level Podcast, Michael McIntyre dives into the topic of dealing with hostility, sharing real-life experiences and spiritual insight. He explains that hostility often stems from internal wounds, fear, or insecurity—and can be a tactic of the enemy to distract and divide. McIntyre encourages listeners to pause, stay grounded, and respond with love rather than reaction. With scripture and practical wisdom, he outlines how to lead with peace, set the tone, and avoid taking the bait of offense. He closes with updates on upcoming NLE events and a reminder to show up big, just like Jesus did.

A sermon on James 4:4-12.

In this episode, we dive into the psychology and impact of approaching transactions with built-in hostility. Whether it's a sales negotiation, customer service call, or everyday interaction, starting with suspicion or aggression can derail outcomes before they begin. CONQUER SHYNESS

Resentment isn't just a feeling—it's a spiritual disease? In this power-packed episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha discuss one of Bhakti-yoga's most liberating teachings: the more we hear about the life and character of Lord Rāma, the more the disease of envy is cleansed from our hearts. This is a real look at the subtle ways hostility creeps into even spiritual communities… and how to root it out before it festers into full-blown inner plague. Key Highlights: * “No hostility in the heart of a yogi”—what this really means and why it's non-negotiable * The mind always finds a way to rationalize animosity (and what to do about it) * The ‘hot coal' analogy that might change how you handle resentment forever * Sauerkraut, ego death, and learning to see others through Rāma's eyes * Why spiritual life means no selective love — even for that one person Drop the hostility. Pick up the stories of Lord Rāma. And let the heart realign with the divine.

I don't know much about Armenian history, so I can't do 2 hours, or anything close.If someone says: You do not have the rigor of an expert, the answer is not to say: I never claimed to be an expert. The answer is: What is an EXPERT?Credentialism is dead. Douglas Murray has an undergrad in English.Big things experts got wrong. - COVID / VACCINE - GLOBAL WARMING - MELTING POT - IQ RESEARCH - Psychotropics - Replication crisis in science - Not moving heaven and earth to find the source of autism - although diagnosis has gone up with government money for autism - Media bias - they are 'experts' who claim to be unbiased, and are ridiculously biased - Feminism - supposed to be about female equality, had morphed into female supremacy, 58.6% in university for instance - immigration - welfare state - depopulation VS WE NEED IMMIGRATION - intransigence"Mad in America"A lot of podcasters come out of frustration with 'experts' - if you like your doctor, you don't go looking for a new doctorWhen experts are faced with growing competition (me VS NYT or CNN) what do they do?I come from the business world, where competition drives innovation - I wrote programs that let end users change the entire system.You never badmouthed competitors, you positioned your strengths against their weaknesses, learned from them and would never try to get them cancelled by lying about them.The media/political world is wild - evil compared to business When we are at Vegas, at conferences, we would go to competitors booths and joke with them - like sports.

We tried to win over competitors customers in the business world.BOB IS A MEAN PODCASTER!Hostility and contempt from Murray was fascinating - I think it comes from despair - we can't save or help people, so silencing them is the only course of action, either because I don't have a good answer, or because the other audience is too dumb and bigoted.Anti-democratic of course, people can't choose their own podcasts but they can choose their own political leaders.I didn't advocate for silencing other philosophers - I just tried to win over their audience.Can you talk about places you've not visited?GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

Happy to have Ali Acampora back to complete her Talking About Kite trilogy!  Welcome to Media Club Plus: a podcast about diving into the media that interests us and the stories that excite us. Well it wouldn't be an episode of the Chimera Ant arc if it wasn't full of the weirdest, wildest shit yet. And that's certainly true for this one. The quick rundown: The king is alive, Pouf and Youpi become mothers by feeding the king their own flesh to revive him (deeply sexual), everyone resolves to back Gon up against Pitou (potentially to their own death), Gon decides he's going to leave with Piout alone and that his buddies should take Komugi as a hostage, Pouf is making power plays to take advantage of the King's amnesia which is difficult because the three of them can kind of all read each other's minds now, Gon leads Pitou to Kite where they reveal that Kite cannot be helped, Gon doesn't like this. Corrections: In this episode there's disagreement on how Komugi gets knocked out. Upon review, it's clear that Killua (intentionally?) knocker her out during Pouf attack This week we cover episodes 127-130, titled Hostility x And x Determination, Unparalleled joy x And x Unconditional Love, Formidable Enemy x And x Clear Objective, and Magic x To x Destroy. Next episode we'll be covering episodes 131~133, titled Anger x and x Light, FLash x and x Start, and Deadline x to x Live.

In this TALKS Episode, Tim engages in a profound conversation with Billie Hoard, a trans woman and theologian, about the intersections of theology, politics, and culture, particularly focusing on the concept of disgust theology.

In a world that often feels overwhelming, find encouragement. Join Rabbi Schneider in this episode as he guides us on anchoring in God's word to discern genuine truth. As global sentiment shifts against Jesus, God alerts His children through His teachings. Prepare and stand firm.

Some stories are worth telling over and over again. Apparently, this is one of those stories. It's one of only two parables Jesus tells that gets repeated three times in three different Gospels. So what is it about this story that's so important? There are two valuable lessons here: one about the stubborn wickedness of the human heart, and one about the unexplainable grace of our God.

In this episode, Rabbi Schneider acknowledges the world's challenges and evils, yet highlights the solace Christians have in being in union with the Father and Spirit. Rabbi encourages us to take heart! Tune in to discover how we, as Christians are messengers of hope amidst prevailing adversities.

The German Democratic Republic, or East Germany, was the frontline in the Cold War, packed with hundreds of thousands of Soviet and East German troops armed with the latest Warsaw Pact equipment, lined up along the 1,400 km Inner German Border. However, because of the repressive East German police state, little human intelligence about these forces reached the West. Who were they? Where were they located? What were they doing? How were they equipped? What were their intentions? NATO was lined up in West Germany to face these forces and relied on getting up-to-date intelligence to warn of any threat, 'Indicators of Hostility' that could be a precursor to an invasion. BRIXMIS, the British Commanders'-in-Chief Mission to the Soviet Forces in Germany, was on hand to provide that intelligence. Thanks to an obscure 1946 agreement between the British and Soviets that established 'liaison missions' in their respective zones of occupation, the British were able to send highly qualified military 'observers' into East Germany to roam (relatively) freely and keep an eye on what was going on. What started as 'liaison', a point of contact between the British and Soviet occupation forces, developed into a very sophisticated intelligence gathering operation, sending 'tours' out every day of the year, between 1946 and when the Mission closed in 1990. Andrew Long's BRIXMIS and the Secret Cold War: Intelligence Collection Operations Behind Enemy Lines in East Germany (Pen and Sword History, 2024) tells the story about these top-secret liaison tours.  These tours were undertaken in high-performance, highly modified marked vehicles, with personnel in uniform and unarmed, apart from professional photographic equipment and occasionally some top-secret gadgets from the boffins back in the UK. They joined their French and American colleagues in snooping around the opposition, photographing military bases, equipment, and manoeuvres, and trying to evade capture by the secret police and counterintelligence units. They faced danger and violence daily, but thanks to their bravery and professionalism, the West had accurate and up to date information on what was happening in East Germany which help keep the peace all that time. This is the story of this little-known unit and their exploits behind enemy lines. Andrew Long, from Great Britain, is a military history researcher and author. His fascination with the Cold War began with a trip to West Berlin in 1986, traveling through Checkpoint Charlie to visit the East. Andrew's writing comes from a desire to make sense of an extremely complex period in modern history, weaving together inter-relating stories involving politics, ideologies, personalities, technological advances, and geography. There is still much to be told on this fascinating subject. After a successful career in marketing, Andrew relocated to Cornwall and took up writing full time.
