“The gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.” Theologian R. Kendall Soulen joins Drew Collins to discuss supersessionism, the name of God (tetragrammaton), the irrevocable covenant between God and the Jews, and the enduring significance of Judaism for Christian theology.Together they explore religious and ethnic heritage, cultural identity, community, covenant, interfaith dialogue, and the ongoing implications for Christian theology and practice.They also reflect on how the Holocaust forced Christians to confront theological assumptions, how Vatican II and subsequent church statements reshaped doctrine, and why the gifts and calling of God remain irrevocable. Soulen challenges traditional readings of Scripture that erase Israel, insisting instead on a post-supersessionist framework where Jews and Gentiles bear distinct but inseparable witness to God's faithfulness.Image Credit: Marc Chagall, ”Moses with the Burning Bush”, 1966Episode Highlights“The gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.”“Supersessionism is the Christian belief that the Jews are no longer God's people.”“The Lord is God—those words preserve God's identity and resist erasure.”“Israel sinned. They are still Israel. That identity is irrevocable.”“The gospel doesn't erase the distinction between Jews and Gentiles; it reconfigures it.”About R. Kendall SoulenR. Kendall Soulen is Professor of Systematic Theology at Candler School of Theology, Emory University. A leading voice in post-supersessionist Christian theology, he has written extensively on the relationship between Christianity and Judaism, including The God of Israel and Christian Theology and Irrevocable: The Name of God and the Christian Bible.Helpful Links and ResourcesR.

In this episode, we'll dive into the complicated topic of "Disability Law, Explained: Tackling Your Most Pressing Questions."Most people assume disability insurance and ERISA benefits will protect them when they can't work. But the reality is often far more complicated. In this episode of Winning Isn't Easy, we're tackling the tough questions claimants face with insurers, employers, and the fine print buried in benefit plans. What happens if an insurance company accuses you of “coaching” your doctor? Can a separation agreement's promise to “irrevocably release” your benefits actually stop you from making a claim? And why do insurers dismiss disabling conditions as “not severe enough” even when you can't work? These aren't hypotheticals, they're real roadblocks people face every day. Disability law expert Nancy L. Cavey explains how to respond when your credibility is challenged, avoid traps in severance agreements, and push back when your medical condition is unfairly minimized. We'll also answer listener-submitted questions, giving you practical guidance you can use right now. If you've worried about your rights after a claim denial, felt pressured to sign releases, or struggled to prove your condition is disabling, this episode will give you the tools - and confidence - to fight back. Winning isn't easy, but knowing the rules puts you in control.In this episode, we'll cover the following topics:One - Can an Insurance Company Deny Your Claim by Accusing You of Coaching Your Doctor?Two - Is a “Voluntary, Irrevocable, and Unconditional Release” of ERISA Benefits in a Separation Agreement Legally Binding?Three - Answering Listener-Submitted QuestionsWhether you're a claimant, or simply seeking valuable insights into the disability claims landscape, this episode provides essential guidance to help you succeed in your journey.

"As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father's sakes. For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy. For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all." Romans 11:28-32

Your bad estate plan is going to cost you! In today's episode, Lauren Klein, a Florida-based tax and estate planning attorney, discussed the critical components of effective estate planning. She debunks myths about revocable trusts, touches on the importance of regularly updating estate plans, and shares on the unethical financial incentives some attorneys may have to let plans fall short. We also talk the strategic use of irrevocable trusts, asset titling, and state-specific protections like Florida's homestead laws for enhanced asset security. We discuss... Lauren Klein is a Florida-based tax, trust, and estate attorney who works nationally, helping clients with estate planning, probate avoidance, and tax strategies. Probate happens when someone dies owning assets solely in their name without a beneficiary or trust. Probate adds stress during grief and often sparks disputes—especially if there's no clear plan or distant relatives get involved. Family fights usually come from unresolved issues, emotional baggage, or greed. Clear planning helps prevent conflict, though it can't always stop it. Many assume a will or trust avoids probate, but trusts must be properly funded—assets need to be retitled into the trust or have it listed as beneficiary. The estate planning industry is too transactional—clients get documents but little follow-up. After a death, families often struggle to locate and transfer assets legally while grieving. It requires attorneys, paperwork, and patience. A common myth is that revocable trusts protect assets from taxes or lawsuits. They don't during your lifetime—but they help avoid probate and add control. Revocable trusts shine when passing assets to kids. They can protect inheritances from divorce or lawsuits and become irrevocable (and stronger) after death. Trusts are especially helpful for blended families and young kids. You can distribute assets in stages and add estate tax protection with proper planning. Irrevocable trusts offer stronger protections but are more complex and better suited for high net worth or special planning needs. Asset protection varies by state—Florida, for example, offers homestead and tenancy protections. Even how you title a car can matter. Retirement accounts and life insurance have some protection, but it depends on the state. Listing all assets is key to building a strong estate plan. Crypto is showing up more in estate planning. It requires special steps to protect and transfer securely.

They explore the different types of damage that can leave lasting scars, from betrayal and broken trust to emotional neglect and repeated patterns of harm.

It's pretty evident that humans aren't faithful. We look at spiritual giants of the Bible Abraham, Moses, David and see them go astray. We look around at our culture and see people not keeping their promises either in business or relationships. We peek into our own hearts and see the same thing. How does God deal with all this unfaithfulness? In a surprising way. Tune in to hear Dr. James Boice talk about God's faithfulness to his people, this week on The Bible Study Hour.

Trusts serve as highly adaptable arrangements for managing and distributing assets, both during a settlor's lifetime and after death. This lecture opens by outlining the five key elements that define a valid trust. First, there must be a capable settlor who consciously decides to create a trust and who possesses the requisite capacity to execute that decision. Second, the instrument must name a trustee (or provide a method to appoint one) who holds legal title to the property and administers it according to the trust's instructions. Third, the trust must identify at least one beneficiary – or, in the case of a charitable trust, a recognized charitable or public purpose – to receive equitable title or economic benefit. Fourth, the settlor's intent should be clear and immediate, signifying that they are presently establishing a legally binding arrangement rather than simply voicing aspirations or making incomplete plans. Finally, the trust requires an identifiable corpus, or property to be placed under the trustee's control; without property, the trust remains a mere concept rather than an enforceable structure.Once formed, trusts can adopt different forms, often divided along two main axes. One distinction separates revocable trusts from irrevocable trusts. Revocable (or “living”) trusts allow the settlor to amend or revoke them at will, preserving near-total control and simplifying estate administration upon incapacity or death. Still, assets in a revocable trust usually remain in the settlor's taxable estate and are vulnerable to the settlor's creditors. Irrevocable trusts, on the other hand, prevent the settlor from freely altering or dissolving them once created. Although the settlor relinquishes significant control, irrevocable trusts can achieve tax advantages, creditor protection, or wealth preservation across multiple generations. A second axis differentiates testamentary trusts, which arise from a will at the testator's death, from inter vivos trusts, which operate during the settlor's life. Testamentary trusts offer post-death oversight but require the will's probate first. Inter vivos trusts, whether revocable or irrevocable, spring into force immediately upon execution and funding.Trustees function as fiduciaries, bound by strict obligations. The duty of loyalty demands unwavering focus on the beneficiaries' interests, outlawing self-dealing or hidden conflicts of interest unless expressly permitted by the trust or agreed to by all beneficiaries. The duty of prudence compels the trustee to invest and manage assets as a cautious, skillful investor, aligning with any directions set by the settlor and adhering to recognized standards like the prudent investor rule. Trustees must also maintain impartiality when beneficiaries' interests differ, such as balancing income generation for one beneficiary against principal preservation for another. Clear recordkeeping and transparency constitute further requirements: trustees typically owe beneficiaries regular reports or accountings, ensuring the beneficiaries can monitor the trust's administration.If a trustee fails to observe these duties, beneficiaries may pursue remedies that include removal of the trustee, surcharging the trustee for any losses incurred by improper management, or rescinding certain transactions tainted by conflicts. Courts often order trustees to return illicit profits if the trustee exploited trust property. Although trust instruments can incorporate exculpatory clauses to shield a trustee from ordinary negligence, no trustee can be relieved of liability for willful misconduct, fraud, or brazen self-dealing. These rules confirm the profound seriousness of the trustee's role. By adhering to fiduciary norms of loyalty, prudence, and impartiality, trustees uphold the trust's purpose: ensuring that assets, once entrusted, are safeguarded and used as intended, whether that goal is straightforward estate planning, long-term wealth transfer, charitable givi

How can effective trust and estate planning secure your business and personal assets for future generations? In this episode, Gary Heldt sits down with Regine Francois Williams, founder and Managing Partner of Francois Williams Legal LLC, to dive deep into the complexities of trust and estate planning. Regine discusses the importance of estate planning, debunks myths surrounding trusts, and shares valuable insights on business succession. From tax implications to incapacitation planning, this episode provides a wealth of knowledge for business owners who want to protect their assets and ensure a smooth transition for their businesses and families. Key Takeaways: ✅ The importance of setting up both personal and business estate plans to avoid future complications. ✅ Revocable trusts offer flexibility and can be amended or terminated during the grantor's life. ✅ Irrevocable trusts are great for complex tax planning but limit asset control. ✅ Business owners should have a clear succession plan to prevent their businesses from falling apart in the event of incapacity or death. ✅ Trusts are essential for managing assets across multiple states and minimizing probate issues. Quote: “Planning is something we all need to take seriously. It could be a slight moment of incapacity, but everything could fall apart if there's no plan.” - Regine "An unfunded trust is meaningless. It's like putting your most important file through the shredder." - Regine How to Reach Regine: You can connect with Regine Francois Williams through her website at www.fwilliamslegal.com, or find Francois Williams Legal on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
