Join me this week as I sit down with Dr. Tim Galsworthy as we explore the influence of Civil War memory on Republican Party identity during the pivotal 1960s and how a political strategy remade the party for generations. Learn how and why the Civil War featured so prominently in campaign rhetoric throughout the 1960s and 1970s - the same era of the Civil Rights Movement and the nations bicentennial - and how it impacts today's political climate. Dr. Galsworthy is a historian and the author of The Republican House Divided which traces the GOP's evolution from the party of Lincoln to the racially Conservative Party of the twenty-first century.

Lutheran Preaching and Teaching from St. John Random Lake, Wisconsin
22 Then one was brought to Him who was demon-possessed, blind and mute; and He healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw. 23 And all the multitudes were amazed and said, “Could this be the Son of David?”24 Now when the Pharisees heard it they said, “This fellow does not cast out demons except by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.”25 But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. 26 If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand? 27 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges. 28 But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. 29 Or how can one enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house. 30 He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.31 “Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. 32 Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.

Hello friends, and welcome back to the Village Kids Podcast! In our last episode, we saw a Sabbath showdown in the synagogue. Jesus healed a man's withered hand, and instead of seeing and celebrating the miracle, the Pharisees went outside to plot against Jesus. Today, we're going to see Jesus do something quiet, something powerful, and then He'll have to answer a very strange accusation about where His power actually comes from. Our bite-sized story podcast is a fun way to learn truths from the Bible in a fun story format.

Over a century ago, Toronto banned apartment buildings from most residential streets — while European cities like Paris, Berlin, and Amsterdam were building them as the default fabric of urban life. That decision shaped the city we live in today: a landscape of single-family houses and condo towers with almost nothing in between. In 2019, Globe and Mail architecture critic Alex Bozikovic co-edited House Divided, a book that former Chief Planner Gregg Lintern has credited with kick-starting Toronto's missing middle conversation. Seven years later, multiplexes and sixplexes are now permitted across the city, but the gap between zoning reform and actual construction remains wide — and the affordability crisis has only deepened. In this episode, John and Alex explore the history behind Toronto's housing divide, what's changed since the book was published, and some of the harder questions the missing middle movement still needs to answer — including whether the math can work at four to six units at a time, the challenge of retrofitting a city that was physically built for something else, and a striking paradox: the European cities we look to for inspiration are built almost entirely of the housing types being advocated for here, and they're deep in their own affordability crises.
Pastors Harold Noyes and Timothy Golden explore division and unity through the lens of Mark 3:13-35. They highlight how Christ transforms individuals, embracing differences to foster unity. The discussion emphasizes that true family is found in doing God's will, urging a focus on relationship with Jesus over rigid religious traditions.
The left continues its jihad to delegitimize the courts because the justices continue to rule against their insane power grabs. Plus, the left is not handling the court decisions blocking their racist congressional maps.
In Episode 127 of 2 Minute Disciple, host Nick Oyler leads a contemplative devotional through Mark 3:20–30 — the moment religious leaders watched Jesus cast out demons and concluded He was doing it by Satan's power. They looked at something clearly good and called it evil.
On a Monday morning in February 2003, a man in suburban France got a phone call from a number he recognized. He answered it, but all he heard on the other end was static and muffled voices in the background. He could just barely make out a conversation between two women. They were talking about a murder, and one of them said they needed to come up with an alibi.

Welcome to Faith Church Online! In Luke 11, Jesus drives out a demon from a man and He lets the doubters know that it is by God's authority this can take place. Jesus draws the line in the sand and declares in the Kingdom of God there is no middle ground. As we study this passage together, we can remember good will always triumph evil. We hope this serves you well.

A key fact that we all need to know is that in 930 BC, Israel divided into two kingdoms. Today, we read the record of that account and consider why it happened, and what were the massive repercussions of this event. DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1. When Chapter 12 opens, who was Rehoboam, where was he going, and what was he expecting? 2. How many of the tribes were going to support Rehoboam? What does this mean about the others? 3. In verse 6, what kind of wise counsel did Rehoboam receive? Whose counsel did he get in verse 8? Which counsel did he follow? What happened as a result? 4. In verses 14 – 19, what transpires? How did this impact Israel for generations to come? 5. In verse 20, who made Jeroboam king? Why? 6. When Rehoboam goes after Jeroboam, what did the prophet say which prevented an all-out war? 7. In 1 Kings 11:38, God promised Jeroboam that if Jeroboam would obey the Lord, He would build him an enduring house. Do we see Jeroboam obeying the Lord in 1 Kings 12? What did he set up in verses 26 to 33? How was this an act of expediency? Was it honoring to the Lord? Why? Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis!

Neutrality is not an option.Neutrality about Jesus is impossible. Every human being wants to keep their options open, to stay uncommitted, to avoid making ultimate decisions. But in Matthew 12, Jesus heals a demon-possessed man and declares that whoever is not with him is against him. In this sermon, we explore the inescapable reality that because Jesus is King, neutrality is not an option — we must choose to follow him or reject him.

Pastor Matthew's sermon explains Jesus challenges fear, division, and misunderstanding—even from his own family and religious leaders—by showing that God's work is rooted in unity and love, not control or accusation. The message emphasizes that followers of Jesus are called to reject forces that divide people and instead live out courageous, forgiving love as the true way to heal a divided world.
In this sermon, Pastor Nathan preaches this main point: a united church is a thriving church.
What holds a house together when the pressure mounts? We follow a clear line from Jesus's rebuke—“How can Satan cast out Satan?”—to the everyday fractures that threaten marriages, churches, and civic life. When Jesus says a kingdom or family divided cannot stand, he isn't offering a slogan; he's diagnosing the cause of collapse and pointing to the cure: authority rightly used and unity grounded in the good.We walk through Mark 3 as crowds surge, demons cry out, and Jesus appoints the Twelve with real authority to preach and to free. Along the way, we unpack the “strong man” parable and why Christ's strength must be the center that binds what would tear us apart—resentment in a marriage, fear in a community, or corruption in leadership. A sober warning against blaspheming the Holy Spirit reminds us not to slander God's work when it confronts our comfort.From there we slow down with Psalm 37—trust, do good, be still—and give anger its proper place: nowhere near the driver's seat. Proverbs adds grit with a call to diligent work and honest effort. We honor the courage of Herschel “Pete” Bryles, whose bravery under fire pictures authority as self-giving service. Then we engage Jonathan Mayhew's reading of Romans 13 to clarify a common mistake: Christians honor rulers as servants for the good, not as masters beyond question. When authority rewards evil and punishes good, it abandons its mandate—and we respond with principled, peaceful resistance while continuing to do what is right.Expect a blend of Scripture, history, and practical counsel: how to build unity in your home, how to spot counterfeit authority, and how to stand firm without becoming hard.

Mark will describe how the Pharisees traveled all the way from Jerusalem down to Galilee up north, about 100 miles or so. They then begin to accuse Jesus our Lord as being demon possessed. Jesus calls out the contradiction of such a statement. How can satan cast out satan? A house or kingdom divided against itself cannot stand but comes to an end. These were sinning the unpardonable sin, saying that Jesus was controlled by Satan rather than by the Holy Spirit. They were in effect, blaspheming against the Holy Spirit at that time in Israel's history. This will mark the time when our Lord is rejected by that nation with no hope of His Kingdom being established at that time.Dr. Mitchell will discuss the ‘unpardonable sin' which is of concern to some believers today, on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, Mark 3:22.

Flesh manifests itself through relational conflict (Gal 5; Jas 4:1-2). In this episode, we continue our book study with Chapter Two: The Flesh-Filled Home exploring the characteristics of homes that walk more by the flesh than by the Spirit, the nature of conflict, and the importance of emotional capacity. We call out three A's of immaturity—avoidance, anger, and addiction—and highlight the need for self-reflection, tiny habits, and seeking help along the journey of personal growth. In today's episode, we cover such questions as...

Today we covered two things mainly, the clear division of the United States and its causes and, more to the point, what it will mean for the church in the near future and then we moved to Acts 20 and Paul's comments to the Ephesian elders and what it means to be guilty of men's blood, and what it means to "pervert" or "twist" the truth of God.
Episode #462: Dulyapak Preecharush, an associate professor of Southeast Asian studies and comparative political scientist specializing in Myanmar, argues that Myanmar's post-independence political trajectory is best understood as a deliberately managed hybrid political system rather than a failed democratic transition. Drawing on his long-term research, he explains that this system combines limited political opening with entrenched military dominance, allowing reform and conflict management to proceed indefinitely while structurally blocking the emergence of genuine federal democracy. In his view, only a decisive rupture in military political power, rather than continued reform within the system, could produce a fundamentally new political order. He situates Myanmar alongside other hybrid regimes, such as Singapore and Cambodia, where elections and civilian institutions exist but core authority remains tightly controlled. Myanmar's 2008 Constitution exemplifies this model by permitting parties and elections while guaranteeing the military veto power and reserved parliamentary seats. The concept of “disciplined democracy,” articulated by military leaders, captures this logic of participation without vulnerability. The relocation of the capital from Yangon to Naypyidaw in 2006 serves as a concrete illustration of this hybrid logic. Dulyapak explains the move as combining strategic, developmental, and symbolic aims. Shifting the capital inland reduced exposure to foreign intervention and mass uprisings, strengthened command-and-control capacity, and improved logistical reach across the Burman heartland. At the same time, the military sought to inscribe itself into a longer historical narrative by emulating precolonial monarchs through ritual practices, including pagoda construction and the ceremonial raising of white elephants as markers of legitimate rule. Naypyidaw's deliberately zoned layout—separating civilian population, administration, and military command—physically embodies a system designed to allow limited political opening without threatening military control. Turning to federalism in Myanmar, Dulyapak traces its origins to the 1947 Panglong negotiations and its suppression after the 1962 military takeover, which centralized power and eliminatedpolitical debate. Federal ideas re-emerged after 2011 under a hybrid system, but their fragility was exposed by the 2021 coup. Today, he argues, Myanmar contains multiple governing forms simultaneously: centralized unitarian control in the heartland, near-autonomous rule in some frontier areas, and continued pursuit of democratic federalism elsewhere. This fragmentation, reinforced by regional geopolitics and constrained international engagement, sustains stalemate rather than resolution. Myanmar, he concludes, remains a revealing case for understanding why partial reform under hybrid rule fails to resolve foundational political conflict.
“But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?” —Matthew 12:25-26 NKJVWe are living in one of the most divided periods in modern history—and it's no longer just left versus right. In this episode, I examine how division has spread within political parties, culture, emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and most importantly the evangelical Church. We explore how division operates as a destructive force, the difference between biblical discernment and discord, and the spiritual cost of constant infighting.This broadcast isn't about pointing the finger, but about clarity, wisdom, and returning to truth in an increasingly fractured world. My hope is that we would allow the Lord to bring peace and unity where division is now reigning instead.

Professor Greg Jackson shares a personal message about our politically divided times and announces more tour dates for his live show: The Unlikely Union. This show is not recorded for the podcast. Go to HTDSpodcast.com/live-shows for more information and dates. Prof. Jackson's national tour has already been to half of the 50 states, so-called red and blue states, big cities and small towns. What he's encountered is everyday people, regardless of their political stripe coming together to share in the telling of the extraordinary history of the first century of our nation. That period from fiery revolution through bloody civil war is– not despite of, but because of its ugly and all but insurmountable challenges– a consoling reminder that we have been through far, far worse times and much greater division than is even imaginable today. And it's a cautionary tale. Our great strength is our union and our great peril is our division. The words of the Republican candidate from Illinois for the US Senate spoken in 1858 ring true today: "A house divided against itself cannot stand." You're damn right, Abe.

From May 6, 2017: Three months into the Trump presidency, where does the relationship between the president and the intelligence community stand? Donald Trump is no longer quite so regularly combative in his tweets and public comments about the various intelligence agencies, but the White House-intelligence community relationship is still far from normal under this very unusual presidency. Here to ponder the question are former NSA and CIA director General Michael Hayden, former acting and deputy director of CIA John McLaughlin, and former deputy national security advisor for combating terrorism Juan Zarate, who spoke with the Washington Post's David Ignatius in a recent event at the Aspen Institute.

It's make-or-break week in the House for President Donald Trump's 'one big, beautiful bill.' House Speaker Mike Johnson said Monday he still believes his party can pass the president's legislative agenda by the GOP's self-imposed deadline of Memorial Day. But deep divisions remain within the caucus over cuts to Medicaid and food stamps, state and local tax deductions, and the bill's implications for the national debt. Marianna Sotomayor, who covers the House for The Washington Post, breaks down the roadblocks facing House Republicans.And in headlines: The Supreme Court said the Trump administration can temporarily revoke deportation protections for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans, Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin had a two-hour phone call to discuss a ceasefire with Ukraine, and the Justice Department is set to pay nearly $5 million to the family of a Trump supporter who was fatally shot by police during the insurrection.Show Notes:Check out Marianna's work – www.washingtonpost.com/people/marianna-sotomayor/Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/
