To realize MLK's vision of a Beloved Community, we're all called to live from a moral conscience that interconnects and permeates society with justice and peace.Working at the intersection of politics, religion, and education, Dr. Lerone Martin of Stanford University is carrying forward the legacy of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in a social and historical context desperately in need of renewed moral imagination, connection across racial and economic divides, and the transformative power of love.In this conversation with Lerone Martin, we discuss:How his spirituality integrates with the meaning of education and formationThe legacy of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., his vision of thriving and justice, and the relevance of his life and writings for the contemporary worldThe role of emotion and affect and music in Christian faith and spiritualityWe dive into the core elements of MLK's famous “Letter from a Birmingham Jail”We explore the joint power of courage and love in non-violent actionWe look at practical insights about the kind of morality that leads to thriving,And we close by asking the question posed in Martin Luther King's final book, Where do we go from here?About Dr. Lerone MartinDr. Lerone Martin is the Martin Luther King, Jr., Centennial Professor in Religious Studies, and the Director of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Research and Education Institute at Stanford University.He's a historian of 20th-century religion and a cultural commentator. He's written books about White Christian Nationalism in the FBI, as well as the making of modern African American Christianity—as well as a book about MLK's adolescence and his early sense of vocation and calling.He stays deeply connected to teaching and community service, teaching the “Why College?” freshman course at Stanford, inspiring underserved high school students in Los Angeles and St. Louis, and developing programming and teaching courses for the incarcerated.Visit the King Institute online at kinginstitute.stanford.edu or follow him on X @DirectorMLK.Show NotesLerone Martin's spiritual background and early Pentecostal faith, concerned with personal moralityTeaching and Preaching“Why College?” Course at Stanford UniversityIndividual Conscience and Life in the Beloved CommunityJosiah Royce (1913) coined the term “Beloved Community”Lerone Martin on: What is thriving?Connections to communityThriving as living out your vocation, love God, neighbor, and selfSet apart for something“Set apart for the beloved community.”What gave MLK his strength and resilience?MLK's adolescence and early sense of vocation for ministry, pastoral service, and leadershipWorking in a Hartford, Connecticut kitchen to serve others and catch a vision for Beloved CommunityThe rediscovery and inspiration of MLK on young people todayReferences to Old Testament scripture in civil rights languageCentrality of “One Love” in MLK's political activism“Let justice roll down!”Benjamin Elijah Mays: The love of God and love of humanity are one love.”Thriving and living with dignity and respectOne love in a pluralistic setting“We can't just rely on expediency.”Values and guiding North Star for moralityTeaching as a guide for studentsHis spirituality was shaped by his mother's moral and cultural formation and his father's ministry.MLK and music“The musicality of his voice.”Spirituality as a jazz man“I Have Been to the Mountaintop” (Delivered by MLK in Memphis on April 3, 1968, a day before his assassination)“I've seen the Promised land.”“The musicality of  his voice moves people.”What is the role of music in Lerone Martin's life: hip hop poetry, awe in gospel music, and improvisation and teamwork in jazz“Music reminds me to be in my body.”Non-violent direct action theoryThe grit of practitioners of non-violent resistance“ There's really nothing passive or weak about non-violent resistance.”“ King would see a love as an action.

That would lead to anarchy. One who breaks an unjust law must do so openly, lovingly, and with a willingness to accept the penalty. I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for law.”The four steps of a non-violent campaign: (1) collection of facts, (2) negotiation, dialogue, disagreement, or communication, (3) self-purification and self-reflection to cultivate resilience, and (4) then direct action.When does patience become passivity?How do we live out “Letter from Birmingham Jail”?Read it regularly, recognize the difference between just and unjust lawsPractice civil disobedience, but willingly, openly, and non-violentlyThe power of sacred textsCultivating the will to do justice, via love, courage, and disciplineWhere Do We Go from Here?: Chaos or Community?A path toward spiritual life or spiritual death?Cultivating civic virtue, bringing it back into our politics and our homes“Means must become commensurate to the ends we seek.”Virtue and valuesPam King's Key TakeawaysFor justice to roll down, we need to see our interdependence, interconnectedness, and live into the unity of One Love.There's a difference between just and unjust laws, the challenge is in cultivating the moral sense to tell the difference, and the courage to do something about injustice.Furthermore, the civil disobedience of MLK was grounded in the wisdom of community, accountability, and integrity.Courage and love are deeply connected, and work together to guide us toward love of neighbor, stranger, and enemy.Pursuing justice takes true grit and an agency that emerges from deep character formation, spiritual connection, and an unwavering commitment to realizing the beloved community.

Welcome to another illuminating episode of "Transform Your Mind to Transform Your Life" with Coach Myrna! In this edition of Five Minute Fridays, Coach Myrna delves into the powerful concept of having a Visionary mindset and living in the future instead of being bogged down by present challenges. Drawing inspiration from various motivational concepts and historical figures, she outlines how to harness the power of future-thinking to build resilience and maintain unwavering focus on long-term goals.In this episode, Coach Myrna emphasizes the importance of not letting today's setbacks dictate your life. With reference to powerful figures like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., she illustrates how adopting a mindset anchored in future goals can make present problems appear as mere stepping stones. The focus is on developing a Visionary mindset, where vivid visualization of your future accomplishments serves as a constant reminder of where you're headed, thereby fortifying your resilience against any adversities.Key Takeaways:Adopt a Visionary Mindset: Develop a clear, vivid vision of your future success and let it guide your present actions.Resilience Through Future Focus: Use your long-term goals to build an unshakable spirit that can weather any storm.Clear Sense of Direction: Align your daily actions with your envisioned future to stay committed and undeterred by current challenges.Historical Inspiration: Learn from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s ability to stay focused on the future despite present adversities.Strength in Future Visualization: Utilize the power of visualization to create a mental fortress that today's problems cannot penetrate.Notable Quotes:"You can't destroy me because I'm already in the future.""When your foundation is the future that you envision, no storm or earthquake can collapse what you've built.""The future is someone no one can take from you; it's yours to create, dream about, and work towards.""Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. saw the mountaintop and knew that one day we would get there.""Your future is a reality that you're actively creating every day."Resources:Referenced Speech: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have Been to the Mountaintop"See this video on The Transform Your Mind YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@MyhelpsUs/videosTo see a transcripts of this audio as well as links to all the advertisers on the show page https://myhelps.us/Follow Transform Your Mind on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/myrnamyoung/Follow Transform Your mind on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063738390977Please leave a rating and review on iTunes https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/transform-your-mind/id1144973094

Happy new year!! Sorry if I HAVE BEEN inactive and that this recap is a couple weeks late; I have been traveling and spending time with family and friends in Florida. Today we have on ONE of the SHOW creators of #houseofvillains to chat about the finale and about the making of the show. Dave has quite the experience working in reality tv and creating and pitching shows and this one was a BIG hit!

this is the most back I HAVE BEEN

“As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding. Like the Romans, I seem to see "the Tiber foaming with blood". That tragic and intractable phenomenon which we watch with horror across the Atlantic but which is interwoven with the history and existence of the States itself, is coming upon us here by our own volition and our own neglect. Indeed, it has all but come. In numerical terms, it will be of American proportions long before the end of the century.” That was Enoch Powell, the Tory MP who delivered his infamous “Rivers of Blood" speech on April 20th 1968. On the same day that Powell offered his apocalyptic vision of a Britain that opened its doors to immigrants, the FBI added James Earl Ray to its list of ten most wanted fugitives. Why? Two weeks prior, James Earl Ray had assassinated Dr. King in Memphis. On his death's eve, Dr. King had given a speech posthumously referred to as the “I Have Been to the Mountaintop” speech. Addressing the crowd, Dr. King said: “In the human rights revolution, if something isn't done, and done in a hurry, to bring the colored peoples of the world out of their long years of poverty, their long years of hurt and neglect, the whole world is doomed.” For Dr. King the progress of colored persons was vital to human progress. For Powell, it was the end. Dr. King's influence has far exceeded that of Powell's, and the world is better off for it, but in the UK we don't learn about the debate over the Race Relations Act. We don't learn about Powell being sacked by Ted Heath from the shadow cabinet because of his speech. We don't learn about Paul Stephenson and the bus boycott in Bristol, but we do learn about the bus boycott in Birmingham Alabama.  As in other areas of public life, the UK takes its lead on race relations and the study of civil rights, from the US. This was exemplified in June 2020, when in the aftermath of George Floyd's murder, people across Britain and the world took to the streets to protest racism. In London, protesters marched in Parliament Square, and in Bristol, they pulled down the statue of Edward Colston and tossed it into the river, mirroring similar actions in the US where confederate statues had been toppled. This spurred a series of debates and actions across the UK about racism in Britain. For one of our guests, this is exactly the problem. Tomiwa Owolade is a writer and critic whose latest book, This Is Not America: Why Black Lives in Britain Matter (2023) argues that we should consider race from a British perspective, not an American one. Our second guest is Dr. Remi Adekoya, a lecturer at York University and author of two books, Biracial Britain (2021), and It's Not About Whiteness, It's About Wealth (2023).

"Let us develop a kind of dangerous unselfishness... " (Martin Luther King, Jr., April 3, 1968)The day before he was assassinated, Martin Luther King, Jr. preached these words in Memphis, Tennessee. In a powerful and urgent message for sanitation workers in Memphis, Tennessee that's come to be known "I've Been to the Mountaintop," he considers the parable of the Good Samaritan, going on to speak prophetically and presciently of the dangers he himself faced, not knowing how very true his words were."We've got some difficult days ahead, but it really doesn't matter with me now because I've been to the mountain top. like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place, but I'm not concerned about that. I just want to do God's will, and he's allowed me to go up to the mountain and I've looked over and I've seen the promised land. I may not get that. But I want you to know the night that we will get to the promised land tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not feeling as have seen the glory of."And on Monday as the collective consciousness of the world and the media turns its eyes to the legacy of of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, it's important to remember that he was not only a civil right activist and a pastor. He was also a theologian whose spiritual logic has profoundly impacted the church, the United States, and the world. That's why today as we commemerate the legacy of Dr. King, we ask the question: How should we do theology? What is the future of theology? And how should theology impact real human life? An impact that might even cultivate the dangerous unselfishness Jesus lived, the Good Samaritan lived, and Dr King lived.In today's episode, theologians, Keri Day and Willie Jennings reflect on these questions. Keri is Associate Professor of Constructive Theology and African-American Religion at Princeton Theological Seminary, and Willie is Associate Professor of Systematic Theology and Africana Studies at Yale Divinity School. As they talk about the prospects and perils of how theology is being done today, they both share the vision that theology should touch the lives and hearts of people, a public endeavor motivated by a love for the world. They stress that theology should be inherently practical, transformative, and life-giving.And as a celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr. and his distinctive, influential theological perspective, we're honored to have been given permission by the King Estate to feature a very moving passage from "I Have Been to the Mountaintop," in which he displays a deep and courageous and prophetic understanding of what should be at stake for the theology he preached. it's a theology of life and justice, a theology of profound and emanating love, a theology that envisions the promised land of flourishing that all God's children should be able to enjoy.Note: For the Life of the World is running highlights, readings, lectures, and other best-of features until May 1, 2022, when we'll be back with new conversations.Contributors"I Have Been to the Mountaintop," Martin Luther King, Jr., April 3, 1968, Memphis, Tennessee was used with permission from the Estate of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Special thanks to Eric Tidwell.Keri Day is Associate Professor of Constructive Theology and African-American Religion at Princeton Theological SeminaryWillie Jennings is Associate Professor of Systematic Theology and Africana Studies at Yale Divinity SchoolProduction NotesThis podcast featured Martin Luther King, Jr., Keri Day, Willie Jennings, and Matt CroasmunEdited and Produced by Evan RosaHosted by Evan RosaEditorial and Production Assistance by Martin ChanA Production of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School https://faith.yale.edu/aboutSupport For the Life of the World podcast by giving to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture: https://faith.yale.edu/give

Louise Bourgeois hör till de allra största namnen i 1900-talskonsten. Hon skapade under sju decennier. Var 71 år då hon slog igenom. De stora spindlarna, stympade kropparna och rumsliknande celler är några teman hon är känd för. Cecilia Blomberg återvänder till en intervju som gjordes för 17 år sen i hemmet i New York. Just nu visas I Have Been to Hell and Back på Moderna Museet i Stockholm. En utställning med lite mer än 100 verk, varav en tredjedel möter publiken för första gången. Cecilia Blomberg har sett den och även pratat med curatorn Iris Müller-Westermann och Jerry Gorovoy som under 30 år jobbade som Louise Bourgeoises assistent. Han var också hennes nära vän. Gör en tidsresa med Kulturreportaget tillbaka till 1998 och mötet med denna karismatiska konstnär vars motto var att vara helt öppen om sitt liv. Det handlar om barndomens svårläkta sår. Om behovet av att hela tiden slå sönder för att sedan ägna sig åt att laga och reparera. Och om ett konstnärskap som när man ser de senare verken ändå verkar ha avslutats i en mer försonande ton.

What would you tell the believers who are in prison, being persecuted for their faith, about how to reach the world for Messiah? The answer is in this podcast. HOW TO SUCCEED WITH NOTHING MUSIC / INTRO While looking out my window one afternoon, the Lord asked me two questions:      "If you had nothing and had nobody to help you, how would you fulfill the Great Commission?"      "What would you tell the believers who are in prison, being persecuted for their faith, about how to reach the world for Messiah?" I had been meditating that afternoon about such things, and the answer to the two questions the Lord asked came succinctly. I wrote down my answer to the Lord immediately, listing the following seven (7) tools with which to carry out the job ... and win the world for Messiah Yeshua.      1. God's Word, the Holy Bible;      2. Faith;      3. Prayer;      4. Jesus' name;      5. Tongues;      6. Forgiveness; and,      7. Vision. [] GOD'S WORD, THE HOLY BIBLE In the Bible I can find 7,000 promises from God that are available to me, and from which I may appropriate my needs, deliverance, healing, favor, direction, and MIRACLES. I would see in the Bible that God wants me to witness for Christ: to give evidence of what Christ has done for me through my words and actions. I would see that God wants me to lead people to Christ and to train them. [Matthew 18:18-20] This would involve training them to do everything that Jesus had commanded me to do, including baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. I could baptize them in rivers, lakes, churches, oceans, bathtubs, or in tarpaulins in the desert. This training would involve teaching them to witness for Christ, and to share their testimony with others. It would also include: preaching and teaching; healing the sick, and casting out demons. I would see the great need of establishing a school "behind every bush" to train believers. In the Bible I would see God's plan for the ages, and God's plan for me. I would see God's plan for the Church: the universal invisible Body of Christ, and the local gathering of believers, whether two or three ... or thousands ... meeting together. Jesus taught us, "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." [Matthew 18:20] I would see the importance of establishing local churches: groups of believers who gather to study God's Word, to pray, and to worship Him; and from where the local community and government may be blessed; as well as people in other nations. In the Bible I see God's goals for Planet Earth and the Second Appearing of Messiah Jesus to Jerusalem to establish His kingdom for 1,000 years. I see that before He returns, the Gospel will be proclaimed and published among every nation, race, tribe, people, and ethnic group of the earth. [Mark 13:10] [] FAITH I would use my faith, based upon God's promises in His Word and knowing what God wants (His will made known in His Word), to create and bring things into being. I would use faith, the same kind of faith that Abraham used, to believe God for what He says in His Word.      "Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, 'So shall your seed be'."      "And being not weak in faith, he [Abraham] considered not his own body now dead, when he was about a hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb [who was about 90]:      He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;      And being fully persuaded that, what God had promised, He was able also to perform." [Romans 4:18-21] So ... if you KNOW what God has promised you in His Word, all you have to do is BELIEVE and OBEY ... like Abraham! MUSIC [] PRAYER Jesus taught us, "And all things, whatsoever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive." [Matthew 21:22]. I would use prayer not only to talk to God and be in close companionship with Him, but also to make my requests known to Him. I would tell Him what I need and want, and ask for advice as to how to operate to achieve my goal. James, the first bishop of the church at Jerusalem, and the Lord's brother, taught us: "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, Who gives to all men liberally, and does not reprimand for asking; and it shall be given to you." [James 1:5] For an in-depth study of prayer, go to the Archives of The Apostles Group and select the newsletter "How To Talk To God" dated August 11, 2002. [] JESUS' NAME Jesus said, "If you shall ask anything in my name, I will do it." [John 14:14] When you as a believer use the name of Jesus you are identifying with the Master of the universe. It is that name at which demons and Satan tremble, and at which they must become subservient to you. Jesus said, "And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name they shall cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues ..." [Mark 16:17] The name of Jesus lets demons know the authority in and under which you are operating. It is not only your Power of Attorney, but it is also your POWER! It is the name which gives you life. "But these are written, that you might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you might have life through his name." [John 20:31] Use the name of Jesus to not only bring deliverance to others, but to maintain your own freedom, power, and blessing. And so it is with the name of YAHWEH, the Hebrew name of The LORD: the self existent One. "The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous run into it, and are safe." [Proverb 18:10] [] TONGUES Tongues, the language of the Spirit, is the software that makes it possible for you to decree supernaturally. When you speak in faith, based upon God's Word and will, you decree miraculously. However, there are times when you do NOT know what to decree ... OR ... how to speak the proper programming language. Tongues, the language of the Holy Spirit, enables the believer in Christ to accomplish this. For an in-depth study of how to attain this power and blessing, go to the website at www.realmiracles.com and select Advanced Studies from the BLUE navigation bars at the left of any page. In the Advanced Studies section, select the five (5) volume series titled "How To Receive God's Power" (DCC 9 through 13). MUSIC [] FORGIVENESS Yesterday, a person who is not a Christian asked me this question: "In what area of your life are you most often challenged to use your faith?" I didn't have to think long. My answer was, "In the area of forgiveness." This is an area in which we need to make sure we are "clear" at the start of every day. And, actually, at the end of every day! I remember as a little boy, one night just after I had covered up in bed, my older sister said to me, "Daddy told us never to go to bed mad at each other." And then we made up with each other. The Holy Bible tells us, "Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath." [Ephesians 4:26] It may not be a wrathful or angry situation that is bothering you. It may be a strained relationship, bad thoughts towards someone, a word of gossip. Or, it may be nothing you've done wrong; it may be something someone has said or done to you ... or said about you ... and that is bothering you, especially if you are undeserving of the words or action. Jesus taught us, "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if you forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." [Matthew 6:14-15] Unforgiveness is something you can't take to Heaven! In Mark 11:22-26, Jesus told the disciples, "Have faith in God." He taught them about speaking in faith, and about receiving in faith. However, he also taught them at the end of this contextual passage that there was something that could hinder them from receiving miracles and answered prayer: it was unforgiveness. "And when you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone: so that your Father also which is in Heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in Heaven forgive your trespasses." [Verses 25 and 26] If God can forgive us of a whole lifetime of sin and disobedience – even sins about which no person on earth knows – can we not forgive someone else for the one, or a few, or even many sins they have committed towards us?! And ... if our Heavenly Father had not made a WAY for us to be forgiven by sending His only Son to die in our place on the cross stake ... we would be under the constant condemnation of death and Hell. How can we not forgive others?! Every day I start my day with what is commonly known as the Lord's Prayer (the disciples prayer He taught them). I clear out any unforgiveness or bitterness so that I can pray successfully and in power ... AND ... so I can experience success. My prayers for myself, friends, associates, and loved ones ... and the prayers for others around the world ... depend upon me forgiving others. "And you be kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake has forgiven you." [Ephesians 4:32] [] VISION When was the last time you "dreamed" for God? IMAGINE! What would your life and ministry be like if your present hindrances were removed? And, what would your life be like if you could accomplish all the things you IMAGINE ... or ASK for? C. S. Lewis, in his book The Weight of Glory, said, " ... our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak!" David succeeded in killing the giant, Goliath, the same way the two men of faith, Caleb and Joshua, succeeded in entering the promise land: because he SAW, as they did, obstacles as opportunities for MIRACLES: avenues through which God could be glorified! The size of the person is more important than the size of the problem. Who are you on the inside and in Whom do you trust! Don't focus on the giants … focus on God. That's why the enemy lies to you. The devil wants to get your attention away from your Heavenly Father: away from His love for you and His ability to provide for you. Study the following newsletters from the Archives of The Apostles Group:      "Remove the Barriers" (May 04, 2003)      "The Vision and the Miraculous" (May 11, 2003)      "An Anointing for Success" (May 18, 2003) Change your thinking. Think BIG. MUSIC Jeshua taught us, "But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved." [Luke 5:38] Think PAST the limits of your mind. Stretch out your horizon of ENDEAVORS and THOUGHTS. "These things began Jesus both to DO and to TEACH." Base your thoughts, your goals, and your endeavors upon God's Holy Word. Use your faith!      Think BIG!      Believe!      Receive!      Act!      Multiply! To SEE with the mind's eye … that is, to envision … can encompass the following: imagination, thinking, and decision making. To "cut out" with the mind's eye is to SEE IT, or to THINK IT upon the tablet of your heart or human spirit. In Job 22:28 we read, "You shall also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto you..." In the original Hebrew language the word "decree" is a primitive root form of the word "gazar", which means "to cut out exclusively, or to decide". In its primitive form it is used also as a "quarrying" term ... as in cutting out stone from a rock quarry. It means more than to "say" or "speak." It conveys the meaning of "cutting something out in your mind's eye"; that is, "to envision [to make a vision], to decide upon it, and confess it" ... and then it will be established unto you! To decree is the progenitor (or, precursor) of heart belief and mouth confession. It is BOTH the nucleus and "all-encompassing" embryo of initiating great moves of the Holy Spirit on Planet Earth. This is why we need to SPEND TIME MEDITATING GOD'S WORD. We're NOT talking about New Age type meditation, which can actually be used, and even energized, by demonic forces. We're talking about MEDITATING God's Word so we KNOW HOW to work in alignment with our Father in Heaven, Jehovah. Increase your vision. What can you SEE? What can you IMAGINE? How greatly can you ASK or THINK? "Now unto Him that is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ASK or THINK, according to the power that works in us, unto Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen." [Ephesians 3:20, 21] At the beginning of this podcast I shared with you two questions the Lord asked me:      "If you had nothing and had nobody to help you, how would you fulfill the Great Commission?"      "What would you tell the believers who are in prison, being persecuted for their faith, about how to reach the world for Messiah?" I answered those two questions in this teaching. You might ask me: "How do you know what it's like to be in jail for Yeshua?" I know because I HAVE BEEN in jail for Jesus ... for preaching His Gospel. Never teach what you can't do. "The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began to DO and TEACH." [Acts 1:1] Nine (9) people were saved as a result of the Holy Spirit using me to preach inside the jail cell, plus the Lord gave me victory in one of the largest court cases of this kind. "Then said Yeshua unto him, 'Go, and do thou likewise'." [Luke 10:37] Baruch haba b'Shem Adonai.
