Bishop Julius C. Trimble is the Resident Bishop of the Indiana Area of the United Methodist Church.Bishop Trimble has the personal mission to encourage all people with the love of Jesus Christ to rise to their highest potential. It is his commitment to his personal mission that led Bishop Trimble to create the “To Be Encouraged” Podcast along with co-host Rev.Dr. Brad MIller. Bishop Trimble says, “I am compelled by Jesus to share with you an encouraging word or two about Jesus, theology, the Bible, the pandemic, the environment, racism, voting rights, human sexuality, and the state of the United Methodist Church.” To Be Encouraged with Bishop Julius C. Trimble is to be published weekly and is available at www.tobeencouraged.com and all the podcast directories.https://www.inumc.org/bishop/office-of-the-bishop/**Episode 114: Lessons from Giants - Show Notes**Welcome to another soul-lifting episode of the To Be Encouraged podcast! In Episode 114, Rev. Dr. Brad Miller sits down with Bishop Julius C. Trimble to delve into the lessons we can learn from three monumental figures who recently passed away. This riveting conversation not only memorializes these giants but also illuminates the broader implications of their lives and legacies. Here are three key takeaways from this impactful episode:### **1. The Power of Witness and Advocacy: The Life of Rev. James Lawson**Rev. James Lawson was a formidable figure in the civil rights and human rights movement. Though Bishop Trimble did not know him personally, Lawson's influence resonated deeply within his own ministry. A United Methodist pastor and a close associate of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Lawson was instrumental in teaching the principles of nonviolent resistance. His lifelong commitment to advocacy, social justice, and human rights serves as an inspiration for young pastors and anyone involved in social activism. Lawson demonstrated that the church's role extends beyond worship to radical prophetic witness and effective advocacy.### **2. Theological Foundations of Hope: The Impact of Jürgen Moltmann**Jürgen Moltmann's theological contributions, particularly his "Theology of Hope," have left an indelible mark on both academia and personal faith journeys. Jürgen Moltmann believed that theology should not be confined to the ivory tower but should translate into real-world action and hope. His writings remind us that what we believe about God should inform how we live, what we are willing to stand for, and even sacrifice for. Jürgen Moltmann emphasized the church's role as a beacon of hope in a world often filled with despair, a message that is critically relevant for young theologians and pastors today.### **3. Overcoming Adversity to Achieve Greatness: The Legacy of Willie Mays**Willie Mays, the legendary baseball player, symbolizes resilience and excellence in the face of adversity. Despite experiencing significant racial discrimination, Mays excelled to become one of the greatest athletes in history. His story is a testament to the power of perseverance and serves as an enduring inspiration across various professions, including ministry. Bishop Trimble reminds us that modern-day successes in sports and other fields are built on the foundations laid by trailblazers like Mays, whose struggles and achievements continue to provide motivation and guidance.### **Conclusion: Continuing the Journey**In this enriching episode, Bishop Julius C. Trimble underscores the importance of learning from the past to better navigate the future. The stories of Rev. James Lawson, JJürgen Moltmann, and Willie Mays offer invaluable lessons in advocacy, hope, and perseverance. As we stand on the shoulders of these giants, may their legacies inspire us to contribute positively to society and...

Please enjoy this discussion between Sunny Sharma and his two elder cousins Abhishek Kasid (Vinni) and Ranjan Wali (Tinku).This podcast was in honor of the main nonviolent and Civil Rights tactician Reverend James Lawson who passed away this year June 9 at the age of 95. James Lawson final message to the world was "We need the Constitution to come alive" if we are to honor the legacy of John Lewis.Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. called the Reverend Lawson “the leading theorist and strategist of nonviolence in the world.” He successfully mobilized students in nonviolent direct-action campaigns against inhumane segregationist laws during the 1950s and 1960s in Nashville, TN, and other cities in the U.S. South. Lawson studied Mahatma Gandhi's strategies of nonviolence and satyagraha, and he used them creatively to confront the violence of racist laws, labor exploitation, xenophobia and gender discrimination. My idea for the podcast came from the notion that to understand what James Lawson meant by the Constitution coming alive I had to look into the ideas of the main Architect of the US Constitution James Madison.James Madison was the fourth president of the United States of America and a serious student of history and politics whether that be grabbing lessons from the years of religious war through Europe, the history of Roman Republics, or the politics of the Greek city states and democracies.

Please enjoy this Part 2 discussion and continuation of the previous podcast with Sunny Sharma and his two elder cousins Abhishek Kasid (Vinni) and Ranjan Wali (Tinku).I further delve into the ideas of James Madison so as to understand what James Lawson meant by bringing the Constitution to life.

Rev. James Lawson Jr. passed away on June 9, 2024. Rev. Lawson was one of the civil rights movement's most prominent leaders and a lifelong advocate of nonviolence, soul force. He co-taught a UCLA labor studies class on nonviolence for over 20 years with our previous labor center director Kent Wong, and our building, the UCLA James Lawson Jr. Worker Justice Center, is named in his honor. As we remember Rev. Lawson and process this deep loss for our community, we are sharing our episode Soul Force Part II, in which Rev. Lawson reflects on his memories of the civil rights movement, including the profound impact of losing his friend Martin Luther King Jr. and other leaders fighting for justice. He emphasizes the importance of embracing nonviolent struggle for a better world. In 1974, Rev. Lawson moved to Los Angeles and played a pivotal role in infusing nonviolence into the Los Angeles labor movement. He has shaped decades of organizing in labor and immigrant rights, and inspired generations of students and activists. We feel the profound impact of losing Rev. Lawson, and he will be deeply missed. Let us carry on his memory, his teachings of love and soul force, and continue his work for a more just world.

Yale professor Willie James Jennings describes the religious and cultural origins of racism.

Caitlin Clark Wasn't Picked A non-profit organization, The Bail Project, which helps thousands of incarcerated people get out of jail as they await trial has closed its Atlanta branch because of Georgia's new Georgia law that strictly curtails the freedom to post bail for others.  We'll talk to someone from the Bail Project about this decision.  President Joe Biden took the time to remember civil rights icon Rev. James Lawson.  We'll show you what Biden had to say.  A jury finds the President's son guilty on all charges in his federal gun case. The Justice Department and a Tennessee school agree on steps to prevent race-based harassment targeting Black students. We will, once again, debunk the lie that Trump "saved HBCUs."  Dr. Walter Kimbrough will be here to set the record straight.  And I have a few words about folks bitching and moaning that rookie WNBA player Caitlin Clark did not get chosen to be on the 2024 US Women's Basketball Olympic Team. #BlackStarNetwork advertising partners:Fanbase

AP correspondent Ed Donahue reports on the death of a a close adviser to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.

On March 28, 1968, Martin Luther King Jr. journeyed to Memphis, Tennessee, to support Black sanitation workers in their quest for dignity and fair treatment. He led a march of 6,000 people in solidarity with their cause, which unfortunately escalated into violence. Tragically, one person lost their life, while 50 were injured, and hundreds were detained. As the procession advanced through the iconic Beale Street, some young Black individuals began vandalizing storefronts. When they reached a critical juncture, fellow freedom rider James Lawson observed a significant police presence in riot gear, prompting concern for King's safety. Lawson persuaded him to depart the scene to avoid potential harm. The aftermath deeply troubled the civil rights icon. Just days later, on April 8, King was assassinated.

This is our unabridged interview with Martin Sheen. In this episode, Lee sits down with the former President of the United States… At least, that's how many listeners may know Martin Sheen, an award-winning actor known for his roles in “Apocalypse Now” and “The Departed,” and perhaps most famously for playing President Jed Bartlet in the hit TV series “The West Wing.” But offscreen, Martin is perhaps best described as an ardent Catholic peace activist who has been arrested over 60 times. In this episode, he tells his whole story, full of humor and grace all the way from his childhood, to his acting career, to activism alongside James Lawson and John Dear, and much more.

This is our unabridged interview with James Lawson. The US Civil Rights Movement, like Gandhi's Indian Independence Movement, was famously set apart by its employment of non-violent resistance methods. But have you ever wondered how such a movement was possible on so large a scale? In this episode, we are honored to have the man who Martin Luther King Jr. called friend, mentor, and the very conscience and architect of the Civil Rights Movement: Reverend James Lawson. Now in his 90's, he discusses the United States' past and present, and what it took to organize a whole population across the country to fight back without throwing a punch. “​​We started the public desegregation of the nation,” he says, “and we did it without hating anybody.” Show Notes Similar episodes: Eddie Glaude: On James Baldwin's America Dr. Fred Gray: Doing Justice Alongside MLK and Rosa Parks Martin Sheen: Actor and Activist Resources mentioned this episode: Fellowship Of Reconciliation (F.O.R.)

This episode of then & now  features a conversation with the Reverend James Lawson, the legendary social justice activist who introduced the practice of non-violent action to the civil rights movement.  The conversation takes up Rev. Lawson's early years and encounters with racism in Massillon, Ohio; his exposure to the idea of non-violence through his reading of Gandhi and while on mission in India; his tireless efforts to promote non-violence in the United States; and his thoughts about how the practice of non-violence can be spread throughout a world convulsed by violence.  At age ninety-five, Rev. Lawson continues to advocate for the relevance of non-violence with a rare mix of wisdom and humility.   Rev. James Lawson, Jr. has been one of the most influential and inspirational faith leaders in Los Angeles—and the United States at large—over the past seven decades. After studying, teaching, and serving as a pastor in Tennessee, he arrived in Los Angeles in 1974 to assume the position of pastor at the Holman United Methodist Church.  From that platform, Rev. Lawson immersed himself in many of the major struggles for justice in the city and nation including civil rights, workers' rights, immigrant rights, and the cause of peace the world over.  He is the recipient of many honors and awards recognizing him as one of the great civil rights leaders of our time.  In 2021, the UCLA Labor Center was renamed the "UCLA James M. Lawson Worker Justice Center."  

James Lawson is back for another episode of Business Success By Design - The Whole Truth & Nothing But The Truth!In this episode the he talks about…..how this ONE methodology completely changed the business, generated more revenue, created more focus and reduced the workload..ALL at the same time!The 5 ONEs' is simply THE best way for NEW coaches and consultants to grow their businesses!Check out or website: https://www.impactbizllc.com/Watch our latest training: https://www.impactbizllc.com/100KWebinarHello! We are James and Angela, entrepreneurs and strategic marketing coaches living in Northern Virginia! Nice to meet you!We began our entrepreneurial journey in 2009 after spending 25+ years as Sales and Marketing execs in high-tech Corporate America generating hundreds of millions of dollars in revenues earning multiple 6-figure incomes.Our mission - to help NEW or Early Stage Coaches, Consultants and Small Businesses, COMPRESS the time it takes to get to a 6-figure revenue stream without the stress, overwhelm and costs of advertising, hours on social media and complex sales funnels. We quickly learned that NO amount of success at the corporate level would prepare us for such an income level as brand new business owners.After too many years of scrambling trying to get clients and build predictability and consistency in our business, we finally decided to get out of our own way and got some coaching help (every business owner, especially coaches, should have a coach!)We re-examined WHO we wanted to help and WHAT problem we best solved. BOOM! In less than 9 months, we were generating 6-figures using our own methodology and have helped hundreds of small business owners, coaches and consultants do the same.It all comes down to 3 core concepts - CLARITY in your messaging, CONFIDENCE in your offer and CONTROL in your business.

A friend asked me should we be celebrating the incident in Montgomery? I decided to pose the question to one of the greatest teachers of nonviolence in history--the Rev. James M. Lawson. More than anyone else, he educated, organized and mobilized nonviolent troops for the Civil Rights Movement and for Dr. King, in the way Joshua prepared Moses' troops. We owe him a listen on this matter.And please share your thoughts and reactions via email at makeitplainmail@gmail.com, or via the video on social media: @MakeItPlain on Twitter and TikTok, Make It Plain on Facebook and YouTube and LinkedIn and @ministter on Instagram.☥ † MFrom the Martin Luther King, Jr. Research and Education Institute at Stanford University:"When Lawson and King met in 1957, King urged Lawson to move to the South and begin teaching nonviolence on a large scale. Later that year, Lawson transferred to Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, and organized workshops on nonviolence for community members and students at Vanderbilt and the city's four black colleges. These activists, who included Diane Nash, Marion Barry, John Lewis, Bernard Lafayette, and James Bevel, planned nonviolent demonstrations in Nashville, conducting test sit-ins in late 1959. In February 1960, following lunch counter sit-ins initiated by students at a Woolworth's store in Greensboro, North Carolina, Lawson and several local activists launched a similar protest in Nashville's downtown stores. More than 150 students were arrested before city leaders agreed to desegregate some lunch counters. The discipline of the Nashville students became a model for sit-ins in other southern cities. In March 1960 Lawson was expelled from Vanderbilt because of his involvement with Nashville's desegregation movement.Lawson and the Nashville student leaders were influential in the founding conference of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), held April 1960. Their commitment to nonviolence and the Christian ideal of what Lawson called “the redemptive community” helped to shape SNCC's early direction (Lawson, 17 April 1960). Lawson co-authored the statement of purpose adopted by the conference, which emphasized the religious and philosophical foundations of nonviolent direct action.Lawson was involved with the Fellowship of Reconciliation from 1957 to 1969, SNCC from 1960 to 1964, and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) from 1960 to 1967. For each organization, he led workshops on nonviolent methods of protest, often in preparation for major campaigns. He also participated in the third wave of the 1961 Freedom Rides. In 1968, at Lawson's request, King traveled to Memphis, Tennessee, to draw attention to the plight of striking sanitation workers in the city. It was during this campaign that King was assassinated on 4 April 1968."Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In the wake of the deaths of Echol Cole and Robert Walker, 1,300 Memphis sanitation workers went on strike. The men were demanding safer working conditions and basic respect for the services they provided. But Mayor Henry Loeb dug in, refusing to recognize their union or even talk to the workers. When a peaceful demonstration elicits a violent response from Mayor Loeb's police force, it becomes clear exactly what the strikers are up against. The city's hostility brings local churches, students and civic leaders into the struggle. Rev. James Lawson, a leading advocate of nonviolent resistance, emerges as a chief strategist, organizing sit-ins, daily marches and arrests. And the greatest civil rights leader of the time, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., comes to Memphis to lend his voice to the fight.    This episode features AFSCME President Lee Saunders, exclusive interviews with Rev. Lawson, AFSCME Secretary-Treasurer Emeritus Bill Lucy and historian Michael Honey, along with archival audio from Dr. King, Rev. Gilbert Patterson, AFSCME official P.J. Ciampa, Ezekiel Bell, Roy Wilkins of the NAACP and Rev. William Maxwell Blackburn.  

Church of England priest Jamie Franklin and doctoral student of Divinity Clinton Collister sit down with author of Loving and Hating the World: Ambivalence and Discipleship James Lawson. Fr James' book makes the challenging claim that true Christian discipleship consists in neither wholly accepting nor in wholly rejecting the world but in maintaining a holy balance between those two extremes. We examined this argument in the light of theological sensibilities such as the Radical Orthodoxy movement and that of Rowan Williams. We also explored the philosophy of Charles Taylor in the same light and considered the potential for a revived Christian Platonism that sees the material world not as a prison-house for the soul but as a conduit of transcendence. In the final section of the conversation, we spoke about Rod Dreher and The Benedict Option and ask why Dreher's thesis has been given short shrift in some Anglican circles.This is a vital conversation for any Christian attempting to come to terms with our relationship to the prevailing culture and the call of God upon our lives as disciples.Thanks for listening.

The advent of AI programmes such as ChatGPT has many concerned. But how scared should we be of these innovations?   To discuss this, IEA Director of Public Policy and Communications Matthew Lesh spoke to James Lawson, Senior Fellow at the Adam Smith Institute. James previously worked as a Senior Special Adviser in the Cabinet Office and prior to his role in government, he was a Director at Microsoft, as a CTO for Strategic Accounts.

With myriad majors and courses to choose from, the possibilities of a college education are limitless. But these programs don't exist on islands all on their own. Oftentimes, you'll find similar majors grouped together in colleges or schools within a larger university — like a school of medicine, or a college of art and design, or a school of business. On this episode of College Admissions Insider, we're talking all about that last type: a school of business or management.We'll cover different educational approaches of various business or management schools; how students interested in pursuing careers in business can get a sense of what majors appeal to them; what high schoolers can do right now to get a head start, and more.Our guests are Melissa Intindola, associate professor of management and organizations, and James Lawson, assistant professor of accounting.Read a transcript for this episodeIf you have a question, comment or idea for a future episode, email podcast@bucknell.edu.Links:Explore the  Freeman College of ManagementManagement majors and minors at BucknellInfo about applying to BucknellApplication dates and deadlinesPlan a visit to Bucknell@iamraybucknell, our student-run InstagramBuild a Bucknell Custom ViewbookLatest news for prospective studentsBucknell Virtual Welcome Center

The This Is Nashville staff is off for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. We are rebroadcasting an episode about the Freedom Riders that originally aired in May.  On May 17, 1961,10 members of the Nashville Student Movement boarded a bus from Nashville to Birmingham, Alabama, as part of the Freedom Rides. The riders were arrested in Alabama and then sent back to the Tennessee border in the middle of the night. However, they helped bolster the Civil Rights Movement as it continued to roll across the South.  In today's episode, we explore the legacy of Nashville's Freedom Riders with poets and a journalist. Then, we're joined by a local Civil Rights activist to learn more about her participation in the sit-ins and the role that education plays in preserving the legacy of the Civil Rights Movement.  But first, a new report shows that a high number of Tennessee children continue to be abused after their families come to the attention of the Department of Children's Services. WPLN Special Projects Editor Tony Gonzalez joins us to discuss the report and ongoing troubles at DCS. Guests: Joshua Moore, host of Versify  Destiny Birdsong, writer Saran “S-Wrap” Thompson, hip-hop and spoken word artist Professor Gloria McKissack, Civil Rights activist and educator Quote to note: “Unlike the Freedom Riders and so many others who had extensive training with Dr. [James] Lawson, I had maybe 15 minutes. … They just told us how to behave. They gave us a set of rules, to be polite, and when they try to drag you out, just become a sack of potatoes, don't resist.” — Gloria McKissack, on participating in her first sit-in at Wilson-Quick Pharmacy in 1962, several months after the Freedom Riders returned to Nashville Additional reading:  Versify: Season 4 – Freedom Summer about the Freedom Riders Versify: Nashville's Freedom Riders Are Now Revered, But It Took Decades For Their Stories To Be Told PBS: American Experience – Freedom Riders Google Earth: Mapping the Freedom Rides

Chicago Tribune, Slate, NY Times Steve Fiffer is a New York Times Bestselling Author. His latest Book is "It's in The Action": Memories of a Nonviolent Warrior, Rev C.T. Vivian's Memoir.Reverend Vivian was a Major Force in the Fight for Civil Rights & Voters Rights in the Twentieth Century till he Passed July 17th, 2020.Regardless of Social Status, Party Affiliation or Belief, Race: Libertarian, Democrat, Progressive or Republican or Other, All Americans Should Have the Right to Vote!Senator Barack Obama, speaking at Selma's Brown Chapel on the March 2007, anniversary of the 1965 Selma to Montgomery marches, recognized Vivian in his opening remarks in the words of Martin L. King Jr. as "the greatest preacher to ever live."Studying for the ministry at American Baptist Theological Seminary (now called American Baptist College) in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1959, Vivian met James Lawson, who was teaching Mohandas Gandhi's nonviolent direct action strategy to the Nashville Student Movement. Soon Lawson's students, including Diane Nash, Bernard Lafayette, James Bevel, John Lewis and others from American Baptist, Fisk University and Tennessee State University, organized a systematic nonviolent sit-in campaign at local lunch counters.Vivian helped found the Nashville Christian Leadership Conference, and helped organize the first sit-ins in Nashville in 1960 and the first civil rights march in 1961. In 1961, Vivian participated in Freedom Rides. He worked alongside Martin Luther King Jr. as the national director of affiliates for the SCLC. During the summer following the Selma Voting Rights Movement, Vivian is perhaps best known for, Vivian challenged Sheriff Jim Clark on the steps of the courthouse in Selma, Alabama, in 1965 during a drive to promote Black people to register to vote."You can turn your back on me, but you cannot turn your back upon the idea of justice," Vivian said to Clark as reporters recorded the interaction. "You can turn your back now and you can keep the club in your hand, but you cannot beat down justice. And we will register to vote, because as citizens of these United States we have the right to do it."Vivian conceived and directed an educational program, Vision, and put 702 Alabama students in college with scholarships (this program later became Upward Bound). His 1970 Black Power and the American Myth was the first book on the Civil Rights Movement by a member of Martin Luther King's staff.On August 8, 2013, President Barack Obama named Vivian as a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.Steve's own Memoir is "Three Quarters, Two Dimes, and a Nickel".

Waging a Good War: A Military History of the Civil Rights Movement, 1954-1968 by Thomas E. Ricks #1 New York Times bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize winner Thomas E. Ricks offers a new take on the Civil Rights Movement, stressing its unexpected use of military strategy and its lessons for nonviolent resistance around the world. In Waging a Good War, bestselling author Thomas E. Ricks offers a fresh perspective on America's greatest moral revolution―the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s―and its legacy today. While the Movement has become synonymous with Martin Luther King Jr.'s ethos of nonviolence, Ricks, a Pulitzer Prize–winning war reporter, draws on his deep knowledge of tactics and strategy to note the surprising affinities between that ethos and the organized pursuit of success at war. The greatest victories for Black Americans of the past century, he stresses, were won not by idealism alone, but by paying attention to recruiting, training, discipline, and organization―the hallmarks of any successful military campaign. An engaging storyteller, Ricks deftly narrates the movement's triumphs and defeats. He follows King and other key figures from Montgomery to Memphis, demonstrating that Gandhian nonviolence was a philosophy of active, not passive, resistance – involving the bold and sustained confrontation of the Movement's adversaries, both on the ground and in the court of public opinion. While bringing legends such as Fannie Lou Hamer and John Lewis into new focus, Ricks also highlights lesser-known figures who played critical roles in fashioning nonviolence into an effective tool―the activists James Lawson, James Bevel, Diane Nash, and Septima Clark foremost among them. He also offers a new understanding of the Movement's later difficulties as internal disputes and white backlash intensified. Rich with fresh interpretations of familiar events and overlooked aspects of America's civil rights struggle, Waging a Good War is an indispensable addition to the literature of racial justice and social change―and one that offers vital lessons for our own time.
