Does disagreement threaten your peace — or actually charge you up? Of course, we all love unity. Agreement feels good, and it's easy to push away ideas (or people) that don't match what is true for us. But let's look closely at nature: opposites create balance. Likewise, a battery only holds energy because it carries both a positive and a negative charge. I'll share a powerful example of a "negative" that I caught as it was about to pull me down and I used its energy to benefit me instead. In this episode of Soul Elevation, Kara Goodwin explores why the very things that differ from your beliefs are here to HELP you: - They give you the charge to inspire action - They offer fresh perspective that refines and shapes what you believe - They can help you flex the muscle of compassion We also look at the trap of the echo chamber and how surrounding yourself only with "yes" people and slipping into confirmation bias can lead to inertia. Comfort has its place, but you didn't come here to stay comfortable. You are here to contribute. In this episode: • Why unity feels good, but that's only half the story • The battery metaphor — how "negative" forces actually energize you • My own example of using a negative charge for positive creation • How opposing views sharpen and refine your own beliefs • Compassion as a practice, not just a concept • Why the echo chamber and comfort zone can stall your growth   Subscribe so you don't miss any of the powerful episodes of Soul Elevation: https://www.youtube.com/@soulelevationpodcast?sub_confirmation=1  Listen or Apple or Spotify: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/soul-elevation-guiding-your-ascension-to-new-heights/id1442136034  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3Rld3E6a4hWwySD73aBkbe?si=89d00821258844b3

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with singer-songwriter David Mead for a wide-ranging conversation about singing, record-making, fatherhood, and the changing place of music in our culture.David takes me back to his earliest experiences as a singer, from hearing his mother sing around the house to studying with vocal teacher Norris Brandstrom. Those lessons began to make sense when David heard Jeff Buckley and discovered how classical vocal technique could open the door to a more adventurous, expressive way of singing.We also get inside the making of January San Fernando. David explains how working with musicians such as Larry Goldings and Val McCallum helped him relinquish some creative control, trust the instincts of the people in the room, and recognize the energy that can live in an early take.  He also shares news of another record made with the same core group of musicians.Some of the most meaningful parts of our conversation are about family. David reflects on how becoming a husband and father changed his relationship with ambition, identity, mortality, and creative work. We close by discussing his beautiful version of Michael Jackson's “Human Nature,” the childhood memory behind it, and how a low-pressure recording project became the album Indiana.Key TakeawaysDavid is grateful that he learned to sing, play guitar, and write songs before music became inseparable from today's constant flow of digital content.Vocal teacher Norris Brandstrom helped him understand that singing and speaking are extensions of the same natural process.Hearing Jeff Buckley gave David a contemporary context for the classical vocal technique he had previously resisted.While making January San Fernando, David deliberately gave musicians such as Larry Goldings and Val McCallum room to follow their own instincts.He prefers the energy and discovery of early studio takes, especially when working with musicians who have not spent too much time studying the songs.Fatherhood helped David separate his love of music from the pressure to define himself through a recording career.His version of “Human Nature” grew from a powerful childhood memory and the creative freedom surrounding the making of Indiana.Music from the EpisodeNashville - David MeadBedtime Story - David MeadIndiana - David MeadHuman Nature - David MeadAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a podcast about music, creativity, and the people who devote their lives to making sound.

If Jesus Is God, Why Didn't He Know This?

Does the strongest argument against Jesus being God come from Jesus Himself?In Mark 13 and Matthew 24, Jesus says that no one knows the day or hour—not the angels, nor the Son, but only the Father.So here's the obvious question:If Jesus is God, and God knows everything, how could Jesus genuinely say, "I don't know"?In this episode of The Caffeinated Christian, we work through one of the most difficult objections to the Christian doctrine of the incarnation. Did Jesus surrender His omniscience when He became human?Was Jesus simply ignorant according to His human nature?Does the incarnation mean Jesus had two minds?What does Paul actually mean when he says Jesus "emptied Himself" in Philippians 2?And can Jesus genuinely say that He doesn't know something while the eternal Son remains omniscient?We're going to take the objection seriously rather than giving a quick Christian cliché. We'll look at Mark 13:32, Philippians 2, the historic Christian understanding of Christ's two natures, and the philosophical question of whether omniscience is something God could surrender and still remain God.This isn't about finding an easy answer.It's about asking whether the Christian doctrine of the incarnation is actually coherent.The bigger question isn't simply, "Did Jesus know everything?"

In Episode 109 of the Booked on Planning podcast, listeners are invited into a crucial conversation with Charles T. Brown, author of "Arrested Mobility: Overcoming the Threat to Black Movement." This dialogue dives deep into the systemic obstacles that restrict Black freedom of movement, providing a critical lens on how urban planning can either hinder or help create equitable communities. At the core of Brown's discussion is the concept of "arrested mobility" — a term he uses to describe the systemic restrictions placed on Black communities, impeding their ability to navigate spaces freely and safely. The conversation contextualizes how these restrictions aren't just about physical mobility, but also encompass social and economic mobility, propelled by historical and ongoing inequities. Show Notes:Further Reading: Inclusive Transportation: A Manifesto for Repairing Divided Communities by Veronica DavisColor of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America by Richard RothsteinThe Black Butterfly: The Harmful Politics of Race and Space in America by Dr. Lawrence T.

Yascha Mounk and Francis Fukuyama explore why any theory of politics must begin with an account of what makes us human. Francis Fukuyama is the Olivier Nomellini Senior Fellow at Stanford University. His latest book is In the Realm of the Last Man. He is also the author of the “Frankly Fukuyama” column at Persuasion.  In this week's conversation, Yascha Mounk and Francis Fukuyama discuss why human nature has been so central to Fukuyama's political thought, what modern evolutionary biology and anthropology tell us about the myth of primordial individualism, and whether human beings are best understood as fundamentally social creatures or fundamentally self-interested ones.

Chuck And Julie Show with Chuck Bonniwell and Julie Hayden Media Trust, Colorado's Political Crossroads, COVID Accountability, and the Politics of Trust Chuck Bonniwell and Julie Hayden examine newly discussed Fauci records, RFK Jr.'s exchange with Dana Bash, media and pharmaceutical influence, COVID-response accountability, listener concerns, Colorado politics, election integrity, jungle primaries, and the growing cultural debate around Caitlin Clark and the WNBA. RFK Jr. destroys CNN “parrot” Dana Bash over the media's shameful role in the COVID Scam. Chuck and Julie Open With “Truth Straight Up” In this episode of The Chuck and Julie Show, Chuck Bonniwell and Julie Hayden open with their trademark “truth straight up” format and immediately focus on newly discussed records connected to Dr. Anthony Fauci. The corrected transcript identifies Chuck and Julie as hosts, Jacob and Johnnie as listener participants, and notes that political, medical, legal, and election-related statements are preserved as speaker statements rather than independently verified claims. Fauci Records, RFK Jr., and the Dana Bash Interview Julie and Chuck argue that the records show Fauci knew more than he publicly acknowledged about COVID mortality, vaccines, masks, lockdowns, social distancing, and transmission. They discuss RFK Jr.'s CNN interview with Dana Bash, describing it as a moment where RFK Jr. challenged the media's COVID-era assumptions and accused the press of failing its duty of skepticism. The hosts frame Dana Bash as unprepared for RFK Jr.'s depth of knowledge and argue that the interview exposed broader media failures around COVID coverage, public-health messaging, censorship, and pharmaceutical influence. Media Narratives, Pharmaceutical Advertising, and COVID Skepticism The hosts continue by criticizing how legacy media handled COVID dissent, saying that stories were first ignored, then attacked as “misinformation” when they gained traction. They discuss Denver's Channel 7/ABC coverage, pharmaceutical advertising, hydroxychloroquine, vaccine messaging, and what they see as shifting public confidence in new shots. Julie shares a personal example from a school physical where her family declined several shots and the doctor said the office no longer carried the COVID shot. Chuck then suggests that pharmaceutical advertising may function less as direct product marketing and more as a way to influence networks and protect preferred narratives. Listener Participation: Jacob and Johnnie Join the Conversation After Julie leaves to pick up Rev, Chuck opens the program more fully to listeners. Jacob joins the discussion with his own concerns about COVID shots, pharmaceutical advertising, and vaccine mandates, including a reference to a Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan case involving employees and settlements. Johnnie shares a personal story about medication he says contributed to his blindness and connects that experience to distrust of medical authority and government messaging. Chuck responds by recalling public encounters involving Fauci, Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, and skeptical citizens who challenged official vaccine narratives. Blackmail, Human Nature, and Political Distrust Johnnie asks whether powerful people may be pressured by embarrassing information or blackmail, prompting Chuck to discuss the idea that Washington operates through mutual leverage and hidden knowledge. Chuck connects this to declining public trust in government, media, and political institutions. The conversation broadens into a darker reflection on human nature, corruption, and the way people create political myths about their own side being pure. Chuck argues that both parties have serious problems, though he focuses especially on what he sees as the Democratic Party's weak bench and dependence on anti-Trump messaging rather than an attractive political vision. Colorado Politics, Republican Turnout, and Jungle Primaries Jacob then asks about Republican complicity, campaign volunteers, and voter follow-through. Chuck responds by describing Republicans as less reliable in lower-turnout races, while Democrats tend to bank votes early through mail ballots. The conversation shifts into Colorado politics, including jungle primaries, wealthy interests, county-party participation, Victor Marx, Greg Lopez, Kyle Clark, the governor's race, and Mark Beasley's low name recognition as a Republican U.S. Senate candidate. Chuck argues that jungle primaries sound inclusive but would reduce real grassroots participation by allowing wealthy interests to shape the candidate field. Election Integrity, the WNBA, and Closing Caller Roundtable Near the end of the episode, Chuck says a strong election-integrity law such as the SAVE Act, with voter-eligibility requirements and paper-ballot safeguards, could change Colorado's political landscape. The show then takes a cultural turn into the WNBA, Sophie Cunningham, Caitlin Clark, and the way fan attention and league politics have made the sport more revealing and more interesting. Chuck thanks Jacob and Johnnie for joining, says the caller-driven format was fun, and closes by inviting a similar open-listener conversation in the future before signing off until Wednesday.

**[Inspiring]**We are absolutely thrilled to share this outstanding and thought-provoking exposition on one of the most pivotal and revealing subjects in all of Scripture: the true nature of the Devil and Satan. As Christadelphians, we are committed to a careful, verse-by-verse examination of God's Word, and this chapter—Chapter 16 from our series on what we believe and preach—offers a wonderfully insightful look at a topic that is so often misunderstood.This presentation is a wonderful journey through the New Testament, guided by the original Greek and Hebrew, to uncover the real meaning behind the words *diabolos* and *Satan*. We explore the profound and often-overlooked truth that the Old Testament is completely silent on a personal, supernatural devil, and that the emphasis of the New Testament points us to a powerful, revelatory conclusion: the devil is the personification of human sinfulness, the lusts of the flesh, and the corporate wickedness of the world.Join us as we trace this compelling thread through Scripture, from the temptation in the wilderness to the ultimate victory of Christ. We examine how Jesus, by partaking of flesh and blood, destroyed him that had the power of death—that is, the devil—and how His sinless life broke the power of sin and opened the way to salvation. This is a truly inspiring and clarifying study that will strengthen your understanding of the Gospel and the nature of the battle we all face.---###

Steve Porcaro: Inside Toto, Thriller & Human Nature

Few musicians have influenced popular music quite like Steve Porcaro.As a founding member of Toto, Steve helped create one of the most successful and respected bands of the late twentieth century while simultaneously becoming one of the most sought-after keyboard players, synthesizer programmers and songwriters in the recording industry. In this revealing conversation, he opens the door on a career that stretches from the birth of Toto through to Michael Jackson's Thriller and beyond.Steve shares stories of growing up in an extraordinary musical household under the guidance of his father Joe Porcaro, one of America's most respected jazz drummers, alongside brothers Jeff and Mike, whose own careers would become legendary. He explains why he struggled with traditional piano lessons, how his fascination with synthesizers gave him a unique place in the industry, and why embracing new technology helped launch his career.The conversation follows Steve's early years touring with Gary Wright, his work alongside David Foster and Boz Scaggs, and the remarkable chain of events that led to the formation of Toto. He tells the real story behind the band's unusual name, explains why success arrived almost immediately, and reveals the collaborative spirit that made Toto one of the most accomplished bands of its era.Steve also takes listeners behind two of the biggest songs of the 1980s. He explains the inspiration behind Rosanna, discusses why Africa was almost left off Toto IV, and recalls watching those songs become worldwide hits despite the band's own doubts about their commercial appeal.Perhaps the most remarkable story concerns the song, Human Nature. Steve explains how Quincy Jones accidentally discovered his unfinished demo while searching for songs for Michael Jackson's Thriller. What followed became one of the most celebrated songs in pop music history.Along the way, Steve reflects on working with Quincy Jones, David Foster, Earth, Wind & Fire, Hall & Oates, Chicago and countless other artists, before discussing his transition into film and television composing, his departure from Toto, and his later return to honour brother Mike during his battle with ALS.The episode concludes with Steve's thoughts on today's music industry, the decline of school bands, the future of musicianship, and why songwriting continues to inspire him more than ever.Fans should also know about Steve's latest chapter. His long-awaited second solo album, The Very Day, brings together songs developed over many years, including collaborations with Michael McDonald and Jason Scheff, proving that one of rock's most gifted musical architects is still creating compelling new music.I hope you love this chat as I did.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 18th century philosopher, essayist, and historian, David Hume's work A Treatise of Human Nature Specifically it examines his final portion of the discussion, where he turns back to considering the notion we have of personal identity and an identifiable "self" that runs throughout a person's entire life. Hume considers this a fiction and inquires as to how this fictitious idea comes to be in our minds. A significant part of his answer has to do with the main ways in which ideas are associated: resemblance, contiguity, and causality.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 18th century philosopher, essayist, and historian, David Hume's work A Treatise of Human Nature Specifically it examines what our conception of identity is for various objects over time, which Hume thinks is actually a fiction created by our own mind out of our perceptions, associating them in relation to each other in terms of resemblance, contiguity, and causation. With various objects we may focus on the proportion of changing parts to a whole, the reference of those parts to some common end or purpose, or on the sympathy of parts in mutual cause and effect.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 18th century philosopher, essayist, and historian, David Hume's work A Treatise of Human Nature Specifically it examines his argument that there is no such thing as a human self in a metaphysical sense of a substance or soul that remains the same throughout changes. Instead, what we have or are is a bundle or collection of perceptions in the mind. While we can form an idea of the self, this is essentially a fiction.

We are reminded of Jesus' teaching on the vine and the branches, and we consider what it means to live from God's life rather than our own especially when we meet challenges in daily life and in parenthood.  Finally, drawing wisdom from Wendell Berry, we explore how the natural world reveals that some of life's deepest beauty and meaning emerge through encounter, resistance, and relationship, reminding us that we were never meant to be self-sufficient, but rooted in the source of all life.

With all of the black-and-white moralizing in our world today, we decided to bring back an old show from 2011 about the little bit of bad that's in all of us...and the little bit of really, really bad that's in some of us.   Cruelty, violence, badness... in this episode we begin with a chilling statistic: 91% of men, and 84% of women, have fantasized about killing someone. We take a look at one particular fantasy lurking behind these numbers, and wonder what this shadow world might tell us about ourselves and our neighbors. Then, we reconsider what Stanley Milgram's famous experiment really revealed about human nature (it's both better and worse than we thought). Next, we meet a man who scrambles our notions of good and evil: chemist Fritz Haber, who won a Nobel Prize in 1918...around the same time officials in the US were calling him a war criminal. And we end with the story of a man who chased one of the most prolific serial killers in US history, then got a chance to ask him the question that had haunted him for years: why?
