Fr. Mike helps us to understand Mary's role in the history of salvation. Through her belief and obedience, Mary becomes the Mother of God, and she cooperates in the redemption of the entire world. God's glory is manifested when he uses weak and powerless people to show forth his faithfulness. What we believe about Mary is based on what we believe about Christ, and what the Church teaches about Mary illuminates our faith in Christ. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 484-489. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

In a system fighting tooth and nail to protect itself, Joe Oltmann Untamed dives into the raw resistance Trump faced from day one. Newly released body cam footage from the March 2025 DOGE raid on the U.S. Institute of Peace captures the tense standoff as officials pushed through evictions and chaos, proof the deep state doesn't go quietly. Lawyers play victim while the powerful cling to control, and even Senate leaders like John Thune seem stuck in slow-motion excuses on fixing elections. The inside game is real, and it's ugly.Joe brings on Mark Cook, election and cyber-security expert behind the Hand Count Road Show, to break down the ongoing war on honest voting. From Shawn Smith's push for Tina Peters' clemency to John Solomon's report on the FBI seizing Maricopa County election data in an expanding probe, the pressure is building. But in Colorado, the legislature just rammed through HB26-1084 to make citizen ballot petitions harder, silencing the people's voice while silencing watchdogs like Erik Holt. Mark lays out the hard truths and real solutions, no more excuses.Joe connects the dots with chilling clips: an "Allahu Akbar" bomb attack at an NYC anti-Islam rally, the ISIS-saluting suspect's parents living in a $2.5M mansion, repeat offenders like the Kansas City Chiefs parade shooter (armed robbery again, no jail) and Colorado's Steaven Henderson (child sex abuse while on parole—case dismissed under "competency" laws). Open borders, soft-on-crime judges, and corrupt systems let predators roam free while patriots pay the price. This episode is a gut-punch wake-up. The rot is everywhere, but the fight is far from over. Tune in for the fire you need to stay untamed. You won't look away.

Subscribe here to Inside Call me Back ------- Please take 5 minutes to fill out Ark Media's LISTENER SURVEY ____ Could a buried stockpile of uranium decide the outcome of the war with Iran? Dan is joined by Israeli journalist Amit Segal and military historian Fred Kagan to unpack reports that roughly 400 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60% may still be recoverable from a bombed Iranian nuclear site. They discuss why that level of enrichment matters, what it would take for U.S. or Israeli forces to extract the material, and why the race to secure it could shape the next phase of the war. The conversation also explores the broader campaign against the Iranian regime, the possibility of regime change, renewed Hezbollah attacks in northern Israel, and what Iran might look like if the current leadership collapses. In this episode: - The race to secure Iran's buried 60% enriched uranium - Why 60% enrichment puts Iran close to nuclear weapons capability - What it would take for U.S. or Israeli forces to extract the material - The broader military campaign against Iran's regime infrastructure - Netanyahu's “surprises” and the strategy to destabilize the regime - Hezbollah's renewed attacks on northern Israel - The rise of Mojtaba Khamenei and what it means for the regime - Could regime change in Iran trigger a civil war?

We learn more about Jesus Christ's nature as fully God and fully human. Because he was fully human, “like us in all things but sin,” Jesus had a human will that was perfectly aligned with the will of God the Father, a human body that can be seen and venerated, and a human heart with which he loves us. Fr. Mike sums up the teachings in recent readings by reviewing that the Incarnation is the mystery of the union of the divine and human natures in the one person of the Word. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 475-483.

In recognition of International Women's Month, we speak to Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the first woman and first African to lead the World Trade Organization. We discuss women representation in leadership, the impact of the latest Middle East conflict on African economies and the shifting balance of global trade and Africa's place in it.And, we also look at LGBTQ rights on the continent. In much of Africa, homosexuality remains criminalised in 33 out of 55 countries, according to the Institute for Security Studies. While South Africa recognises same-sex marriage, most African countries do not. In Botswana, two women are now challenging the government in court for the right to marry, despite same-sex relationships being decriminalised.Presenter : Nkechi Ogbonna Producers: Keikantse Shumba and Chiamaka Dike Technical Producer: Jonathan Mwangi Senior Producer: Bella Twine and Blessing Aderogba Editors: Samuel Murunga and Maryam Abdalla

Back pain is one of the most common causes of reduced mobility and loss of independence as we age. In this episode, spine surgeon Dr. Gbolahan Okubadejo explains the causes of back and neck pain, when conservative treatment is appropriate, and when spine surgery may become the best option for restoring mobility and quality of life. Chronic back and neck often trigger fear. Many people assume pain is inevitable, that surgery always leads to long downtime, or that recovery means permanent limitation. In this episode, we explore modern advances in spine care, recovery, and how the right mindset and preparation can help people reclaim movement, confidence, and independence at any age. Dr. Gbolahan Okubadejo is a board-certified, fellowship-trained spinal and orthopedic surgeon and founder of the Institute for Comprehensive Spine Care, with offices across New York and New Jersey. A graduate of Brown University and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, he completed his orthopedic residency at Washington University in St. Louis and a spine fellowship at UPMC.

Ich bin immer wieder erstaunt, wie wenige Menschen in der Finanzindustrie sich aktuell intensiv mit den Möglichkeiten von KI beschäftigen. Dabei ist künstliche Intelligenz für mich persönlich längst so unverzichtbar wie mein Smartphone. In dieser Folge spreche ich darüber, warum KI Chefsache ist, warum Datenschutz kein Feigenblatt sein darf und warum die Institute, die jetzt nicht loslegen, mittelfristig den Anschluss verlieren. Ich teile konkrete Anwendungsbeispiele aus meinem eigenen Arbeitsalltag und gebe dir zwei Gedanken-Nuggets mit, um sofort bessere Ergebnisse mit KI zu erzielen. Die vier Kernargumente auf einen Blick: 1. Die Einstiegshürde war noch nie so niedrig – Es gibt zu allen Tools Gratisversionen, hochwertigen Content auf YouTube, in Podcasts und Newslettern. Es braucht kein Budget zum Starten. Lade dir Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini und Grok herunter und teste sie parallel – so bekommst du ein Gefühl für die Unterschiede und Möglichkeiten. 2. Ohne Fantasie kein Automatisierungspotenzial – Wer sich nicht mit KI beschäftigt, kann auch nicht erkennen, wo Potenzial liegt. Ob Kreditprozesse, Kundenberatung, Beschwerdemanagement, interne Kommunikation oder Vorstandsvorlagen – überall gibt es Ansatzpunkte. Dafür brauchen Führungskräfte aber beides: Nähe zum Menschen und Nähe zu den Tätigkeiten. 3. Datenschutz ist kein Feigenblatt – Natürlich sind Kundendaten zu schützen, und die Sparkassen haben mit dem SKI-Pilot smart gehandelt. Aber anonymisierte Daten, synthetische Daten und Kunden-Avatare bieten unzählige datenschutzkonforme Möglichkeiten. Nutzt Datenschutz als Argument, aber nicht als Ausrede. 4. Es geht um Wettbewerbsfähigkeit – Wer heute wartet, verliert morgen den Anschluss. Ich bin überzeugt: In zwei Jahren wird es normal sein, digitale Teams aus KI-Agenten zu führen. Die Schere zwischen denen, die machen, und denen, die abwarten, wird jeden Monat größer. Praxisbeispiele aus der Folge Mein automatisierter Reisekostenagent: Ein kleiner KI-Agent liest meinen Kalender, weiß, wann ich wo war, und überführt alles in ein strukturiertes Excel-Sheet für die Buchhaltung. Was mich früher 20 Minuten im Monat gekostet hat, läuft jetzt vollautomatisch. Podcast-Produktion mit KI: Shownotes, Transkription, Klangbearbeitung, Schnitt – die Nachbearbeitungsaufwände haben sich um 90 Prozent reduziert. Kunden-Avatar für die Beratungsvorbereitung: Erstelle ein anonymisiertes Persona-Profil deines Kunden und führe ein Beratungsgespräch mit der KI. Du verbesserst gleichzeitig dein Prompting und deine Beratungsqualität – komplett datenschutzkonform. KI-gestützte Gesprächsvorbereitung für Führungskräfte: Simuliere ein Mitarbeitergespräch mit einem KI-Avatar, der die Persönlichkeit deines Teammitglieds imitiert. So kannst du dich auf schwierige Gespräche vorbereiten und neue Perspektiven gewinnen. Meine zwei Gedanken-Nuggets 1. Lass die KI sich selbst prompten:** Beginne deinen Prompt immer mit „Erstelle einen Prompt für…", beschreibe die Situation, und ende mit „…und stelle mir weitere Fragen, um den Prompt weiter zu verbessern." Die Ergebnisse verbessern sich massiv – und die KI denkt an Dinge, an die du nie gedacht hättest. 2. Analysiere die Wertschöpfung in deinen Bereichen:** Schau in deine Teams: Wo findet Wertschöpfung statt? Was ließe sich qualitativ verbessern? Was ließe sich automatisieren? So entwickelst du eine konkrete Vorstellung davon, was KI für deinen Bereich bedeutet. Aktionsimpulse Für Vorstände und Geschäftsführungen Macht KI zur Chefsache. Investiert in Premium-Lizenzen für eure Mitarbeitenden – 20 Euro pro Monat sind gut investiert in die Zukunftsfähigkeit eures Instituts. Sprecht offen über eure eigenen KI-Erfahrungen. Für Führungskräfte Verschafft euch Transparenz über die Aufgabenallokation in eurem Bereich. Fragt euch: Was machen meine Mitarbeitenden eigentlich den ganzen Tag? Und wo könnte ein KI-Agent Teil meines Teams werden? Nehmt euch 30 Minuten pro Woche, um neue Tools und Möglichkeiten zu er

Fr. Mike teaches us more about the divine and human natures of the second person of the Holy Trinity, the Word that became flesh, Jesus Christ. Jesus became like us in all things but sin; as such, he has a human soul, intellect, will, and body without losing any of his divinity. Father Mike tells us that in his human nature, Jesus thought with a human mind, worked with human hands, and loved with a human heart. Christ needed to learn things, and he increased in wisdom and understanding. The full humanity and true divinity of Jesus is a great mystery of our faith.

"This came from an experience with a patient. It was early in my analytic training, and I was working with a supervisor who I really admired, and worked with her for a number of years. She was post-Kleinian, and was great at interpretation, formulation, and she was really helpful with just starting to guide me towards a lot of this work. I remember describing to her a patient session, and I was going through my process notes, and I said, 'I feel like the patient is inside of me. I feel like they want something that's in me, and I don't know what it is, and I can't quite access my own self, I don't know what to do'. It was through this initial experience where I really felt why analytic training versus other less intense training, we were also right at the time doing infant development, offered so much. It was early in my training and she suggested I think about an infant or even a toddler when they want something from their parents - they want something from their mother. The mother kind of feels this kind of gripping or this yearning from them, the baby wanting something. I started to think of my patients, not as infants or babies, but that what I was feeling was that there was something that the person I was working with needed, and they didn't have words yet to tell me what that was."    Episode Description: We begin by recognizing the unique journeys that lead clinicians to become psychoanalysts. Pam shares with us her initial exposure to dynamic thinking but felt that she was missing some awareness of what was happening in herself and in the patients she was working with - "I was curious...I wanted to go deeper, to know more." This led her to enroll in full-time analytic training. She shares with us her understanding of the 'difficult to reach patients' that she was treating and presents a fictionized case that represents the many countertransference struggles she faced. She noted that "instead of the patient realizing that she wanted something from me, she instead felt attacked by me." Supervision was essential in helping her make sense of her experiences and of learning to 'listen to the music'. We close by noting her open-ended curiosity and interest in learning more - lifelong attributes of analysts who continue to take pleasure in our work.   Our Guest: Pamela Polizzi, LCSW maintains a full-time private practice in New York City.

What counts as China, and who counts as Chinese? China became a capitalist superpower by investing in globalization. Now that it has established its credentials—and emerged as a major US competitor—its leaders are looking within, focused on suppressing dissent and fostering cohesion. The result has been an increasingly nationalist cultural agenda, celebrating a Chinese identity steeped in the mystique of the Middle Kingdom and nostalgia for heroic twentieth-century resistance. Yet Chinese nationalism, like nationalism everywhere, is fraught. Few Westerners, and even fewer Chinese, recognize that the very idea of China is up for grabs.  Xu Guoqi is the founding director of the Institute of Transnational History of China at the University of Hong Kong, and author of The Idea of China: A Contested History (Harvard UP, 2026) Lucas Tse is Examination Fellow at All Souls College, Oxford.

Vinnie Vernuccio is the President of The Institute For The American Worker. In this interview at The Pelican Institutes Solutions Summit he talks about legislative ideas he is working on in DC to help the average American Worker.

We explore the truth that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man; he is one person with two natures, both Divine and human. Fr. Mike explains that we call Mary the Mother of God because, from the very moment of his conception, Jesus was fully God and fully human. Fr. Mike also goes over heresies in the history of the Church that have denied the humanity of Christ, rejected the divinity of Christ, or confused the fact that Jesus is the Son of God by nature. The Church has always responded by affirming that Jesus Christ is truly the Son of God who became a man and our brother without ceasing to be God and Lord.

Adam, Jenna, and Pooka take a gleeful ride through The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension, celebrating its pulpy charm, wild 80s style, oddball science, and Mage-ready Etherite energy. They cover what works, what wobbles, how to “Mage-ify” it, and why this messy cult classic still sparks game ideas, big laughs, and deep affection.Show Notes The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984) — brain surgeon, rock star, test pilot, alien-fighting chaos agent. The Hong Kong Cavaliers — Buckaroo Banzai's loose but capable inner circle: a half rock band, half super-science/adventure team built around gifted oddballs, runaways, scholars, hackers, and fighters. They include veterans like Rawhide, Reno Nevada, Perfect Tommy, Pecos, New Jersey, Billy Travers, Big Norse, plus close Institute allies like Professor Hikita, Mrs. Johnson, and Pinky Carruthers. Dr. Emilio Lizardo — Brilliant but doomed physicist who, in 1938 at Princeton, tested an early Oscillation Overthruster and briefly entered the 8th dimension, where he was possessed by the alien tyrant John Whorfin of Planet 10; returning to Earth apparently insane, Lizardo became the vessel through which Whorfin plots to escape Earth and conquer again.

In this episode of The Edge of Risk Podcast by IRMI, Joel Appelbaum speaks with Dustin Carlson, president of the 831(b) Institute, about maintaining the credibility and long-term viability of Section 831(b) micro-captives. The discussion centers on Mr. Carlson's three-part series in Captive Insurance Company Reports outlining proposed reforms aimed at addressing practices that have drawn regulatory scrutiny while preserving legitimate captive insurance programs. Mr. Carlson explains how the Section 831(b) election allows small insurance companies to exclude underwriting income up to the statutory premium threshold while remaining taxable on investment gains. He outlines concerns around structures used for estate planning, investments such as life insurance or annuities inside captives, and related-party lending practices. The conversation explores practical policy proposals designed to curb abuses while reinforcing insurance fundamentals—such as proper underwriting, claims processes, and governance practices—to ensure micro-captives remain focused on risk management rather than investment or wealth transfer strategies.

The Word became flesh to reconcile us with God, to manifest God's love for us, to model holiness, and to make us partakers of the divine nature. We learn that the “Incarnation” refers to the fact that the Son of God assumed human nature in order to accomplish our salvation. Fr. Mike explains that belief in the Incarnation of God is the distinctive sign of Christian faith. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 456-463.

Alan Rozenshtein, research director at Lawfare, spoke with Cullen O'Keefe, research director at the Institute for Law & AI, and Kevin Frazier, AI Innovation and Law Fellow at the University of Texas at Austin School of Law and senior editor at Lawfare, about their paper, "Automated Compliance and the Regulation of AI" (and associated Lawfare article), which argues that AI systems can automate many regulatory compliance tasks, loosening the trade-off between safety and innovation in AI policy.The conversation covered the disproportionate burden of compliance costs on startups versus large firms; the limitations of compute thresholds as a proxy for targeting AI regulation; how AI can automate tasks like transparency reporting, model evaluations, and incident disclosure; the Goodhart's Law objection to automated compliance; the paper's proposal for "automatability triggers" that condition regulation on the availability of cheap compliance tools; analogies to sunrise clauses in other areas of law; incentive problems in developing compliance-automating AI; the speculative future of automated compliance meeting automated governance; and how co-authoring the paper shifted each author's views on the AI regulation debate.Find Scaling Laws on the Lawfare website, and subscribe to never miss an episode.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

The U.S. and Israel attacked Iran, killing that country's leader and sparking celebration from some Iranians. What's not clear is why. President Trump's reasoning for all this has been a moving target. We'll talk about the stakes for the region and for the Trump presidency. Also, the Congressional effort to limit the president's war powers falls short. Is it time to just give up on Congress playing a role in authorizing military action? The midterm elections kicked off with primaries in several states on Tuesday, and we talk about what we learned from the results in Texas where the race for Republican John Cornyn's senate seat is heating up. We talk with Mo Elleithee on the left and Sarah Isgur on the right.Producer: Leo DuranHost: David Greene Guests:  Mo Elleithee, executive director at Georgetown University's Institute of Politics and Public Service - @MoElleithee Sarah Isgur, senior editor at The Dispatch - @whignewtons

We're dissecting how misalignment impacts each of the Six Pillars of Wealth — Fit, People, Space, Faith, Work, and Money — and what it truly costs when we tolerate what drains us. Each episode builds on the last. So subscribe and journey with us as we move from awakening… to redefining… to actualizing. Episode Summary After the longest break in Redefining Wealth history, Patrice returns with a deeply personal and powerful season opener. This new series, The Anatomy of Alignment, begins by unpacking the true cost of misalignment—not just emotionally, but structurally across every pillar of life. In this episode, Patrice shares how grief, release, and personal transitions exposed subtle but expensive misalignments in her own life. From relationships to work, from health to faith, she explains how misalignment drains peace, clarity, energy, and even financial well-being. You'll learn why drainage is data, how misalignment shows up in the body before it makes sense in the mind, and how the Six Pillars of Wealth offer a framework to course correct before subtle dissonance becomes catastrophic. If you've been saying, “I just don't feel like myself,” this conversation will meet you. Questions to Ask Yourself: Have I been saying, “I just don't feel like myself”? What is that really about? What feels “fine” but not fully alive or aligned? Which pillar feels most off right now: FIT, PEOPLE, SPACE, FAITH, WORK, or MONEY? What have I been minimizing to avoid disruption? What is misalignment costing me that I haven't fully acknowledged?   Want to Redefine Wealth for Yourself? Start Here:

This week, Pastor Nate Wright is joined by Dr. Joe Boot and Dr. Michael Thiessen to help Christians think Christianly about the escalating conflict involving Iran, Israel, and the United States. Rather than reacting to headlines or repeating past debates about foreign wars, the conversation examines the issue through a Christian worldview—drawing on Scripture, sphere sovereignty, and the insights of Abraham Kuyper. What is the biblical basis for international law? Do nations have a right to defend themselves? And how should Christians think about war, treaties, and global conflict in a fallen world? The goal of this episode is simple: to help believers move beyond political talking points and think Christianly about international conflict, justice, and the responsibilities of nations under God’s law.

As we continue to learn about the name of Jesus and the titles given to him, we encounter in today's readings the unique title that belongs to Jesus as the only “Son of God.” Fr. Mike clarifies how this title is different from the term “son of God” found in the Old Testament and explains the meaning of Jesus' Divine Sonship. Lastly, Fr. Mike encourages us to profess with our lips and our lives this beautiful reality that Jesus is truly the only begotten Son of God. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 441-445.

For today's episode, Lawfare Senior Editor Scott R. Anderson sits down with three leading scholars from the Georgetown University Law Center—Professor Kathleen Claussen, Professor Marty Lederman, and Visiting Scholar Peter Harrell of the Institute of International Economic Law—to talk through the Supreme Court's groundbreaking opinion in Learning Resources, Inc v. Trump, which invalidated the array of global tariffs that the Trump administration had imposed using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).Together, Scott and his guests break down the Court's opinion, weigh what it might mean for the Major Questions Doctrine and foreign relations law, and look ahead to the legal fights to come over the other tariff authorities the Trump administration is now using to pursue its agenda.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.
