This week's reading features a mountaintop experience that's hard to come down from! Peter Walsh, Elizabeth Garnsey, and John Kennedy explore the Transfiguration and how it's both similar and different from Moses and Elijah's experiences. How do we learn to engage the world after profound spiritual experiences and what brings about transformation?Questions for Further Discussion:Themes and ApplicationWhy do you think this moment of radiant glory comes immediately after Jesus predicts suffering and the cross? What does that pairing suggest about the nature of faith?What do you make of the disciples' desire to stay on the mountain? Where do you recognize that same instinct in your own spiritual life?How does this story invite us to think about spiritual experiences not as endpoints, but as sources of strength for life lived “down the mountain”?Personal ReflectionWhen have you experienced a “mountaintop” moment of clarity, peace, or deep connection with God? What helps you carry those moments with you when life moves back into uncertainty or struggle?Where do you notice fear showing up in your spiritual life, and what might it mean to be met with compassion rather than correction?How do spiritual practices (prayer, silence, journaling, worship) help you notice God's presence without fireworks or spectacle?Broader Spiritual ConsiderationsThe episode explores the idea that true mysticism always bears fruit in love, service, and self-giving. What does that suggest about the relationship between prayer and action?Jesus stands between Moses and Elijah, fulfilling the law and the prophets while reshaping power away from violence and domination. Where do we still expect God to act through force instead of love?What might it look like for communities of faith to live as “bearers of light” without trying to stay permanently on the mountain?Want to have your question or comment featured on the podcast?

[REDIFFUSION] Bienvenue dans les Fabuleux Destins. Cette semaine, en quatre épisodes, nous allons vous raconter l'histoire de l'assassinat du 35ème président des Etats-Unis, John Fitzgerald Kennedy. C'est l'un des plus grands mystères du 20ème siècle, et un scandale politique d'une ampleur inégalée. Des funérailles historiques du Président à la toute première enquête qui fut menée sur l'assassinat, découvrez son incroyable destin. Derniers adieux et premiers indices Quand le téléphone sonne, l'agent répond immédiatement. Après de longues secondes, il acquiesce, raccroche et se penche à l'oreille de son supérieur. Les services de renseignement viennent de confirmer leurs soupçons : le fusil censé être l'arme du crime a bien été achetée par Lee Harvey Oswald. A bout, épuisé, le suspect ferme les yeux : depuis son arrestation il y a plus de dix heures, il n'a pas eu le droit à l'assistance d'un avocat et les policiers ne lui laissent aucun répit. Totalement impuissant, il se voit inculpé du meurtre de John Kennedy.  A minuit, Lee Harvey Oswald est amené brièvement devant la presse. Des dizaines de journalistes le harcèlent de questions, et c'est aveuglé par les flashs qu'il clame son innocence : « Je ne sais rien, et je demande que quelqu'un vienne me donner une assistance légale. » Ramené sans ménagement en cellule, il s'écrie : « Je ne suis qu'un bouc émissaire ! »  Un podcast Bababam Originals Ecriture : Clément Prévaux Voix : Andréa Brusque Learn more about your ad choices.

[REDIFFUSION] Bienvenue dans les Fabuleux Destins. Cette semaine, en quatre épisodes, nous allons vous raconter l'histoire de l'assassinat du 35ème président des Etats-Unis, John Fitzgerald Kennedy. C'est l'un des plus grands mystères du 20ème siècle, et un scandale politique d'une ampleur inégalée. Des circonstances du meurtre à l'arrestation rocambolesque du tout premier suspect de cette affaire, découvrez la première partie de son incroyable destin. La fusillade de Dallas Le 22 Novembre 1963, John F. Kennedy et sa femme Jackie font étape à Dallas dans le cadre de leur campagne présidentielle. Au cœur de la ville, la foule, plus dense et plus exaltée que jamais, déploie des centaines de drapeaux le long du cortège. Les trottoirs de la rue principale ne suffisent pas à contenir une telle affluence, et la route se trouve partiellement encombrée : nombreux sont les enfants qui, perchés sur les épaules de leurs parents, agitent leurs mains joyeuses en direction des visiteurs. C'est à peine si l'on remarque au sol les milliers de tracts dispersés quelques heures avant par des opposants d'extrême droite, présentant une photo du président avec la mention "Traitre". A 12h30, quand les voitures s'engagent sur Elm Street, les Kennedy semblent gagnés par l'enthousiasme, et soulagés de faire l'objet d'une telle ferveur… Il y a alors un léger flottement. Un son mat, sec, comme un raté de moteur. Puis un deuxième, puis un troisième… Ce ne sont pas des ratés de moteurs, ce sont des coups de feu. John Kennedy porte ses mains à sa gorge, comme sonné, puis, touché à la tête, il bascule dans les bras de sa femme. Le tailleur rose emblématique de Jackie se teinte de rouge… On a tiré sur le Président.   Un podcast Bababam Originals Ecriture : Clément Prévaux Voix : Andréa Brusque Learn more about your ad choices.

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, lefty pop star Billie Eilish is facing calls to hand over her ritzy Los Angeles digs to a Native American tribe or illegal immigrant after she declared “No one is illegal on stolen land” at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony. The 24 year-old singer is being accused of virtue signaling for the anti-ICE remarks she made while accepting the award for Song of the Year on Sunday night. Also Chuck Negron, a founding member of Three Dog Night whose lead vocals powered a string of hits including “Joy to the World,” “One” and “An Old Fashioned Love Song” for one of the top rock acts of the late 1960s and early ‘70s, died Monday. He was 83. Plus Gavin Newsom called ‘embarrassingly handsome' in a cringeworthy Vogue magazine spread as writer Maya Singer admits to not asking hard questions, Zohran Mamdani is off to a rough start as NYC Mayor, media coverage of gender transition trials and the Senator John Kennedy audio cut of the day!

This week, Jesus gives a lesson on salt, light, and fulfillment. Peter Walsh, Elizabeth Garnsey, and John Kennedy expand on what it means to be the salt of the earth and a light of the world, how we live into being God's image-bearers, and how Jesus isn't presenting a conflict with the Torah but an evolution of it.Questions for Further Discussion:Themes and ApplicationJesus declares, “You are the salt of the earth” and “You are the light of the world.” What stands out to you about Jesus using identity language (“you are”) rather than commands (“you must”)?Salt and light were precious and not easily replaced in Jesus' time. How does that historical context change the way you hear these metaphors today?Light is meant to be visible, yet later in Matthew Jesus warns against public displays of piety. How do you navigate the tension between letting your light shine and practicing humility?Personal ReflectionWhere do you feel most “salty” right now—adding flavor, preservation, or wisdom to the world around you? Where do you feel you've gone a bit bland or blended in?The conversation emphasizes that salt and light exist for others, not for themselves. Who benefits from your faith when you're living it well?Jesus raises the bar beyond rule-following to heart transformation. Where do you notice Jesus inviting you beyond mere “compliance” toward deeper love, mercy, or reconciliation?Broader Spiritual ConsiderationsMatthew emphasizes earth as the arena of God's mission, not something to escape. How does this shape a Christian response to creation care, justice, and embodied faith?The clergy frame Jesus' teaching as part of an inner Jewish conversation about the law. How might this awareness deepen Christian humility and resist anti-Jewish readings of Scripture?The discussion highlights both encouragement and judgment in Jesus' words. How do you hear this passage as both promise and challenge?Want to have your question or comment featured on the podcast? Leave a voicemail on our Rev'd Up hotline!

In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Democrats notched another special election upset Saturday after Taylor Rehmet won a Texas state Senate race in a district long dominated by Republicans.

Also how economics sway voter's decisions, bi-partisan agreement on the President's pick for the new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh and audio from Senator John Kennedy on affordability.

John Kennedy, Birdwatch Ireland Scientific Officer, discusses a study that highlights trends in wintering waterbirds in Ireland over the past 30 years.

SHOW NOTES: • Parents and kids were united in what was watched, experiences, and enjoyed in the early 50s. Gunsmoke, Soupy Sales, MASH, Bonanza, Sink the Bismark. • Then came Dick Clark and American Bandstand. • The 60s saw the Beatles, Sex/Drugs/Rock and Roll. • Viet Nam and campus occupations. • A man on the moon. • Assassinations of John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King. • Woodstock. • The Cuban Missile Crisis. • The Schism has evolved into polarization. • We don't trust each other anymore. • We feel entitled. (You can't give an activist enough, ever.) • What can unite? Comedy, trust, tolerance, art, forgiveness? • Unlike climate change, which is highly existential, this is immediate and grave. This is a threat that we need to handle now. • The alternative is chaos.

This week, we open the Sermon on the Mount by lingering with the Beatitudes, not as a checklist or virtue chart, but as an immersion into the inner life of Jesus and the culture of the Kingdom of Heaven. Peter Walsh and John Kennedy explore Jesus as the new Moses and the radical reorientation of values that disciples are invited to inhabit. Plus, how does this teaching challenge our concept of happiness?Questions for Further Discussion:Themes and ApplicationThe Beatitudes are presented as a description of Jesus himself. How does that change the way you hear or read them?Which Beatitude feels most countercultural in our current climate?How does viewing the Beatitudes as an “initiation guide for new residents of the Kingdom” affect how you imagine Christian identity?Personal ReflectionWhich Beatitude feels most unsettling or challenging to you right now, and why?Can you recall a moment when an experience of God changed how you saw the world or cared about it?How do you respond to the idea that discipleship shapes who you are before what you do?Broader Spiritual ConsiderationsHow might the Church lose its witness when it blesses the culture instead of embodying the Kingdom Jesus describes? In what ways do the Beatitudes redefine happiness, success, and strength?What practices might help individuals and congregations “live from the inside” of Jesus' teaching rather than analyzing it from the outside?Want to have your question or comment featured on the podcast?

Ron DeSantis' final legislative session is not all kumbaya, why may thousands lose aid for a critical AIDS medication and Venezuelans clamor for democracy while Trump focused on oil. Antonio Fins, Ana Goni-Lessan and John Kennedy of the USA Today Florida Network explain it all.

I am so honored to have Senator John Kennedy join me today. If you know the Senator, you know he tells it exactly like it is: no filter, no teleprompter, just straight common sense. We really went there in this one, covering everything from the high-stakes military action in Venezuela to the "special kind of stupid" he sees in government bureaucracy. We took a deep dive into the reality of what's happening at our border, the "loon wing" of the Democratic party, and why he's sounding the alarm on the rise of socialism in cities like New York. But beyond the politics, the Senator shared some incredibly personal stories including how he defied orders to save pets during Hurricane Katrina and his honest assessment of meeting with Joe Biden early in his presidency. Senator Kennedy is one of a kind. He's brilliant, he's hilarious, and he reminds us all why we have to stand strong because as he says, "weakness invites the wolves.

This week, we find Jesus calling his first disciples. Peter Walsh, Elizabeth Garnsey, and John Kennedy dive into just how much these fishermen were leaving behind, why they would follow Jesus, and what life they were taking on by putting aside another.Questions for Further Discussion:Themes and ApplicationThe clergy describe this passage as a “hinge” in Matthew's Gospel. What feels like it is turning or shifting here in Jesus' story, and why might that matter for how we read what comes next?The episode spends time unpacking the idea that “geography is theology.” Where Jesus goes carries meaning. Where do you notice God showing up in unexpected or overlooked places today?The call of the disciples is immediate and costly. What do you think Matthew wants his original audience to hear in the disciples' willingness to leave work, family, and stability?Personal ReflectionThe fishermen are ordinary people, not religious elites. How does that shape your understanding of who Jesus calls and equips for meaningful work?“Follow me” is not just an invitation to believe, but to reorient one's entire life. What would following Jesus look like as a concrete reorientation in your current season?The discussion explores Jesus as deeply rooted in vocation rather than driven by self-protection. How do you discern the difference between vocation and self-preservation in your own decisions?Broader Spiritual ConsiderationsFish and fishing are explored as rich, layered symbols, connected to chaos, depth, and drawing hidden life into the light. How does this imagery expand your understanding of what it means to be “fishers of people”?Jesus proclaims the kingdom as already near and then demonstrates it through healing, teaching, and compassion. Why might lived mercy be essential before deep transformation can take root?If Matthew's Gospel is helping people rebuild their faith without a physical temple, what practices today help us recognize God dwelling among us and within us?Want to have your question or comment featured on the podcast?

In this episode of John Solomon Reports, we sit down with Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, a relentless advocate against waste, fraud, and abuse in government spending. Senator Paul discusses the staggering $600 billion in fraud identified by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant and the alarming growth of fraudulent Obamacare policies that benefit insurance companies rather than American citizens.We delve into the Somali scandal in Minnesota, which sheds light on the need for common-sense reforms in government welfare programs. Senator Paul highlights a recent bipartisan effort led by Senator John Kennedy to end the fraudulent practice of issuing taxpayer-funded checks to deceased individuals, a significant step towards accountability.Additionally, Senator Paul addresses the controversial issue of welfare benefits for refugees, emphasizing the necessity of adhering to existing laws that prevent new immigrants from accessing federal assistance for five years. He plans to force a vote on this critical issue, despite the pushback from both sides of the aisle.Joining the conversation is Dr. Rebecca Grant from the Lexington Institute, who provides insights into the current dynamics in Venezuela and the implications of recent U.S. foreign policy. We also hear from the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of ADN America, Gelet Fragela, who shares her perspective on the potential for regime change in Cuba, inspired by the recent events in Venezuela.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for January 13, 2025. 0:30 We break down President Trump’s upcoming health care affordability plan, arguing it targets the real crisis driving America’s health care system: skyrocketing prices. From rising insurance premiums and crushing deductibles to unaffordable prescription drugs, the conversation zeroes in on why the Affordable Care Act failed to deliver affordable care for millions of Americans—especially seniors on fixed incomes. We explore Trump’s push for lower drug prices through “most favored nation” pricing, increased transparency, and free-market competition, framing it as an America First approach to health care reform that could finally rein in costs without expanding Obamacare subsidies. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The Supreme Court heard arguments today about whether boys should be allowed to play in girls sports. President Trump revoked the Temporary Protected Status of Somali immigrants here in the US. Former President Bill Clinton and former Sec. of State Hillary Clinton failed to appear at a Congressional Hearing after they were subpoenaed to tesify about Jeffrey Epstein. 12:30 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 A controversial Senate vote is exposing a deep divide within the Republican Party. We react to news that 14 Republican senators joined Democrats to approve $5.6 billion in refugee assistance funding—nearly three times the level before the Biden administration—despite ongoing fraud investigations tied to refugee programs in states like Minnesota and Ohio. And we're naming names! John Kennedy, Susan Collins, Lisa, Murkowski, Lindsey Graham among others supported the measure, and it's a betrayal of conservative principles and an abandonment of fiscal responsiblity. 16:00 We've got a question for American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson — is it even worth trying to talk to people on the political left anymore? We discuss the importance of maintaining civil dialogue across political divides, even when those conversations are uncomfortable. A healthy disagreement is a sign of maturity and growth, not weakness, and real connection can still happen when humor and respect are allowed into the room. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We break down sanctuary cities and their long-running "shell game" with federal taxpayer dollars. For years these jurisdictions accepted billions in federal funding for infrastructure, health care, and law enforcement while simultaneously refusing to cooperate with ICE and shielding illegal immigrants—including criminals—from enforcement. Well that era is over. President Trump announced that the federal government will cut off all federal funding to any city or state that deliberately blocks Immigration and Customs Enforcement. 26:00 We Dig Deep into latest example of “impeachment as a political weapon,” reacting to Illinois Congresswoman Robin Kelly’s filing of articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. The allegations range from obstruction of congressional oversight to abuse of office. But they are all examples of blatant retaliation for Noem’s enforcement of federal immigration laws under the Trump administration. Democrats refused to convict former DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, but they are pushing to impeach Noem, who is enforcing the law. Democrats now view impeachment as a strategy—even when conviction is impossible—to undermine election results and stall governance. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We turn to the escalating crisis in Iran and our concern over the uncertainty surrounding the situation as reports emerge of a brutal regime crackdown on protesters. With internet access cut off and reliable information scarce, we cite estimates of thousands killed or arrested by Iran’s security forces as demonstrations against the theocratic government continue. The unrest is a pivotal moment for the Iranian people—and a serious test of U.S. foreign policy. 35:30 The Stop Insider Trader Act is a Bright Spot. It would ban members of Congress from buying and selling individual stocks while in office, while still allowing them to hold preexisting investments and invest in broad-based index funds. The proposal would also extend restrictions to spouses and dependent children, a provision that would have directly impacted high-profile cases of congressional stock trading. Lawmakers should not need a special law to remind them not to profit from nonpublic information obtained through their official duties. This bill’s upcoming House hearing and support from leadership mark a meaningful moment. Americans aren’t demanding perfection from their representatives—just honesty, fairness, and an end to profiting off privileged access. 39:30 We discuss President Trump’s visit to Dearborn, Michigan, where he toured the Ford F-150 plant and delivered remarks to the Detroit Economic Club alongside Ford executive Bill Ford Jr., highlighting American manufacturing, jobs, and the auto industry. The visit took a turn when a heckler reportedly shouts an accusation at the president on the factory floor, prompting an alleged profane response from Trump.

In this week's Gospel text, Jesus is named "The Lamb of God" and Simon becomes Cephas/Peter. Elizabeth Garnsey and John Kennedy dive into these different names and the symbolism found in their stories. Plus, John offers a hot take on Anselm's theory of atonement and how it might've been misunderstood all along.Questions for Further Discussion:Themes and ApplicationNames matter deeply in this passage: Jesus is named, Simon is renamed Peter, and John the Baptizer points away from himself. How do names and labels shape identity, vocation, and calling in our own lives?Jesus does not explain, persuade, or argue. He invites. How does “come and see” challenge modern expectations that faith should be fully explained or defended upfront?Discipleship in John is deeply imitative. We become who we follow. Who or what do you notice shaping your habits, values, and imagination right now?Personal ReflectionWhich title for Jesus in this passage resonates most with you right now, and why? Lamb of God, Rabbi, Messiah, Son of God, Light, Word?What does “abiding” mean in your daily life? Where do you sense yourself truly dwelling, spiritually or emotionally?Can you recall a moment when being “seen” or “named” by someone changed how you understood yourself?Broader Spiritual ConsiderationsHow does rethinking sacrifice reshape our image of God? What might it mean to say God absorbs violence rather than demands it?The discussion frames sin less as rule-breaking and more as separation, division, and “us vs. them.” How does this understanding change repentance or reconciliation?If Jesus shows us what true humanity looks like, what habits, assumptions, or behaviors might need to be unlearned to follow him more fully?Want to have your question or comment featured on the podcast?

Well-intentioned but missing the mark, we dissect Senator John Kennedy's Corn Letter to the USFWS. That, a thank you to the FowlWeather Podcast listenership, and your duck migration forecast, all this week on the FowlWeather Podcast.

Originally aired on January 11, 2026. On this episode, Doug addresses Senator John Kennedy's letter to the Fish and Wildlife Service about legal baiting in the Midwest, which is preventing ducks from migrating southbound. It's a big topic with a lot of ins and outs, and Doug brings in David Pruett from Riceland Waterfowl Club to help break it all down. Doug also interviews Ed Arrighi from American Shooting Centers to talk all things rifle supressors. All this and more, on The Doug Pike Show.

In “Kim on a Whim,” the team breaks down Trump's plan to ban large corporations from buying up single-family homes, a move aimed at tackling America's affordability crisis. Kim highlights how corporate landlords drive up prices and squeeze families out of homeownership, while Marc questions whether homebuilders really care who buys as long as they profit. The conversation weighs free-market principles against protecting neighborhoods, with all three sharing personal housing experiences and noting HOA restrictions. The segment ends with Marc playing Senator John Kennedy's plea for a reconciliation bill, arguing Republicans must act fast before Democrats regain control.

If John the Baptist was calling for a baptism of repentance, why did Jesus insist on being baptized? This week, Peter Walsh, Elizabeth Garnsey, and John Kennedy focus on the purpose of Jesus' baptism, the importance of it being in the Jordan River, and how this is a story about doing things outside of the establishment.Questions for Further Discussion:Themes and ApplicationThe clergy describe Jesus' baptism as both continuity with John's movement and a decisive shift away from it. Where do you see that continuity, and where do you see the break?In what ways does this baptism scene function as the beginning of Jesus' public ministry, vocation, or “handing over” of authority from John to Jesus?How does the idea of baptism as participation in God's larger salvific plan challenge more individualistic understandings of faith?Personal ReflectionWhich image from the episode resonates most with you right now: water, Spirit, voice, wilderness, or new creation? Why?How do you respond to the idea that becoming faithful is an ongoing process of “becoming and becoming,” rather than a completed state?When you hear the words “beloved” and “well pleased,” do they feel earned, aspirational, or freely given? How does that shape your understanding of God?Broader Spiritual ConsiderationsFr. John raises concerns about how religious movements can become institutionalized and lose their radical edge. Where do you see this risk in the church today?What does Jesus' baptism suggest about leadership, especially spiritual leadership, in contrast to power rooted in authority, violence, or control?How might this passage challenge churches to rethink baptism not just as initiation, but as vocation, solidarity, and mission?Want to have your question or comment featured on the podcast?

How could one small baby threaten a king? This week, Peter Walsh and John Kennedy read about the wise men, Herod, and the baby who changed their lives. What can we learn from Jesus' humble beginnings, how do scholars try to explain the Christmas star, and how does the beginning of Jesus' life foreshadow the end of it?Questions for Further Discussion:Themes and ApplicationPeter and John describe the story of the Magi as subversive and radical, not merely sweet or sentimental. What makes this story politically and spiritually disruptive rather than cozy or nostalgic?The Magi are Gentiles who recognize Jesus before many of his own people do. Why might Matthew highlight outsiders as the first to honor Jesus, and what does this suggest about who “belongs” in God's story?Geography is described as theology. Bethlehem, Nazareth, Egypt, Jerusalem. How does place matter in this story, and what do these locations communicate about power, humility, and God's purposes?Personal ReflectionThe Magi are attentive both to external signs (the star) and internal guidance (dreams). In your own life, which is easier for you to notice: outer signs or inner promptings? Why?The phrase “they were overwhelmed with joy” stands out in a violent and fearful context. What does joy look like when the world is still dangerous or unjust?The Magi literally change direction, returning home “by another road.” Have you ever experienced an encounter with God that sent you back into your life changed, even subtly?Broader Spiritual ConsiderationsThis story sets empire and kingdom in contrast. How does Matthew challenge conventional ideas of power, authority, and success?The gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh echo kingship, worship, and burial.

The First Sunday after Christmas. At Christmas, the Gospel of John proclaims a profound paradox: the Word who created the world enters it unable to speak. This sermon reflects on the Word made flesh, present among us in vulnerability and silence, from the manger to the cross. In a world that often feels anything but peaceful, Christmas insists that peace has already been given, not by escaping suffering, but by moving toward it.

Let's begin at the beginning! Peter Walsh, Elizabeth Garnsey, and John Kennedy journey through the prologue of John's Gospel. They discuss the importance of space and place for John's community after the temple fell, how this text helps us look higher to God while also seeing the ways God is here with us, and what it means to be children of God.Questions for Further Discussion:Themes & ApplicationThe clergy describe John's Prologue as poetry, theology, and cosmic vision rather than narrative. How does this shape the way you hear or preach this text compared to the Christmas stories in Matthew or Luke?Elizabeth highlights the Prologue's roots in Jewish wisdom literature and Genesis, especially in the context of Jewish Christians facing displacement and exclusion. How does this historical lens deepen or complicate the message of “the Word made flesh”?John emphasizes Jesus as the new “dwelling place” of God's glory, replacing the temple and tabernacle imagery. What does it mean to understand Jesus as the locus of God's presence rather than a place?Personal ReflectionThe clergy repeatedly name a sense of awe, mystery, and even silence as appropriate responses to this text. When was the last time Scripture left you feeling undone or speechless?Peter speaks about a “divine deficit disorder” in modern spirituality. Do you resonate more with transcendence (God is beyond everything) or immanence (God is here with us) in your spiritual life? Which do you feel you may be neglecting?John raises the question of what it means to “become” children of God if we already belong to God. What practices or choices help you live more fully into that identity?Broader Spiritual Considerations The conversation explores logos as a counter-logic to violence, division, and domination. How does John's vision of the Word challenge cultural narratives built on power, fear, or exclusion?The clergy discuss enlightenment as both seeing and participating in divine life. How does this understanding of spiritual “illumination” compare with other religious or cultural views of enlightenment?Many spiritual traditions wrestle with the relationship between spirit and matter. How does this text speak into that question?Want to have your question or comment featured on the podcast? Leave a voicemail on our Rev'd Up hotline!

The Hidden Lightness with Jimmy Hinton – Trump strangely posted that Reiner's death was “reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction… known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME,” implicitly linking the violence to the late director's criticism of him. The reaction to Trump's comments was swift and scathing from leaders...

Riley Gaines is joined by Senator John Kennedy as they react to a series of jaw-dropping clips from Texas' own Jasmine Crockett, including her famous claim that “committing a crime doesn't make you a criminal.” Kennedy's reactions are instant classics: sharp, unfiltered, and delivered with the kind of dry humor that makes the insanity almost bearable. Together, they walk through Crockett's wildest campaign moments and the deeper problem underneath them: a political culture that treats outrage as strategy and common sense as optional. Kennedy also shares stories behind his #1 bestselling book and why he believes Americans are starving for leaders who still speak plainly. A conversation full of laughter, blunt truth, and a reminder that sometimes the best way to expose the circus… is simply to let it speak for itself. Learn more about your ad choices.

"I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth." That was President John Kennedy in 1961, speaking at the Joint Session of Congress. It is possibly the best example of a project statement ever made.  Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin Join the Time And Life Mastery Programme here.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  Starting projects. It can be tough. Where do you start? Where will you find the time? And what do you need to do?  These are just some of the questions you will find yourself asking.  Yet the biggest obstacle to completing a project on time is overthinking and over-planning. Thinking about and planning a project are not the same as working on one. Working on a project is doing something that moves it forward.  Decorating your bedroom will require paint and brushes. The only pre-project decision you need to make is what colour.  The first two steps, therefore, are:  Decide what colour to paint the bedroom Buy paint and brushes I would add a third decision: when. When will you do it?  Once you've done those three things, you're ready to go—no more planning, no more thinking. Just get on and start.  Yet, that's not how most projects go, is it? There's thinking, planning, then creating tasks in your task manager, and if it's a work project, a meeting, then perhaps another meeting.  Often, by the time a project is conceived, 80% of the time required to complete it gets spent on thinking, planning, and meetings.  And that brings us nicely to this week's question—a question about finding ways to reduce the thinking and planning time.  So, let me now hand you over to the Mystery Podcast voice for this week's question. This week's question comes from Phil. Phil asks, “Hi Carl, how do you work on complex projects?” I find I spend a lot of time planning a project, end up with a long list of things to do, and when it comes to starting, I freeze. It's as if I don't know where to start. Do you have any tips on handling this type of problem? Hi Phil, thank you for your question.  “Project freeze” is a common problem for many people. I suspect this stems from the belief that every aspect of a project needs to be planned before starting. Yet, for many projects, this would be impossible.  Imagine you were part of NASA in May 1961, and you'd just heard President Kennedy's speech at the joint session of Congress about why the US should put a man on the moon and bring him back safely to earth before the end of the decade.  At that time, NASA was struggling to get even the smallest of rockets into space—the idea of sending astronauts to the moon and back was a pipe dream.  Yet a group of incredible people at NASA in 1961 took on the challenge. Instead of planning every single step they thought would be needed to complete the project, they looked at what they already knew, the obstacles they would need to overcome, and the first steps. That gave birth to the Mercury space mission. The Mercury programme was not to put a man on the moon; its objectives were to orbit a crewed spacecraft around Earth, study the human ability to function in space, and ensure the safe recovery of both the astronaut and the spacecraft. Before they could reach the moon, they needed to understand how humans cope in space. So the project's objective was to send a man into Earth's orbit.  The key was to get started, and they did this by listing out the obstacles they needed to overcome first. They then worked out how to remove those obstacles.  Now, I know our projects are unlikely to be as big as sending someone to the moon and back, but we can adopt the same approach that NASA used to work on our projects.  Even small projects can adopt this approach. Let's say you were asked to do a presentation on the likely effects of AI on your company's business over the next five years. Where would you start?  For something like this, there would be several phases.  The first would be to research and gather information. For this, the task would likely be to find out who to ask or what to read.  Okay, when will you do this?  Here's the key point. It's no good just deciding what needs to be done first. You need to make it intentional, and to do that, you will need to set aside time to do it.  Perhaps you decide to give yourself an afternoon to research this.  Research is a challenge in itself. We can go down rabbit holes that bring no meaningful insights into what we are trying to do. Yet, we can also underestimate how much time is required for research. So the first step is to do an initial session of research to help you develop some boundaries.  You might be lucky and find that the first research session gives you everything you need to start the presentation. However, if not, and you discover you need to do more research, then when will you do that?  One thing you can do with creating a presentation is to set up your PowerPoint or Keynote file. Create the document, do the first slide and perhaps set the theme colours.  Having a document started makes it much easier to get into creating the presentation.  The danger of listing out all the things you think you need to do to complete the project is that 80% of what you think needs to be done doesn't, and you will find that 80% of what ends up being done were things you never thought of in the first place.  All you really need is a starting point.  I recently did a video on how to write a book. The number one reason people who want to write but never do write a book is that they overthink and plan it.  Thinking and planning do not produce a book.  The best way to write a book is to get the first draft written as fast as you can. All that is required is a few ideas about what you want to write about. From there, you start writing the first draft.  The first draft will be the worst state your book will ever be in. It's meant to be messy, unstructured and occasionally unreadable.  But, once you have a first draft, you have around 80,000 words you can manipulate, craft and organise into a best seller. Without that first draft, you have nothing but a few ideas. How do you write a first draft? Set aside time each day to write. An hour or two every day for eight weeks will give you your first draft.  As you write, new ideas will form, and you can make a note of those along the way. That will make your editing easier.  The common denominator with any project is to get started. Everything has a starting point. Wherever that is, start there.  It's as you are working on the project that your next steps reveal themselves.  When I first began creating online courses, I had no idea what I was doing. But what I did have was fifteen years of teaching experience, and I knew how to create a lesson plan.  I also knew what I wanted to create an online course on. So I could create a lesson plan and a topic. That was where I started.  Once I had a lesson plan, I realised I needed a storyboard of sorts to help me break the course down into lessons. That evolved into the outline I have written for every course I have created since.  Now, after eight years of creating courses, I have a process I follow. All I need is a topic and time to plan, outline, record, edit and post. (Five steps)  On big projects, many tasks are completed before the project ends. Yet, if you were to try to predict what needs to be done at the start, you will find you are wasting a lot of time.  NASA had no idea whether a human being could survive in space. What they did know was that they needed to develop a reliable rocket to get them into space. So, they began with that. Without the rocket, it didn't matter whether a human could survive in space or not. There would have been no way of getting them there.  In 1962, NASA didn't know that they would need software to keep the spacecraft on the right trajectory. There was no way they could have planned for that at that point. It was only when they began working on the Gemini programme that they realised software would be needed.  Without paint and brushes, it wouldn't matter what colour you wanted to paint your bedroom.  In many ways, when you're working on a large, complex project, you're solving problems as you go along. Yet, there's always going to be a starting point.  Another thing about bigger projects is setting a deadline.  Because we are not sure how long a large project will take to complete, it can be tempting to set an unrealistic deadline. Three months to complete a project that realistically would take twelve. This is why setting up the project's stages will help you.  What's the first stage? Give yourself a realistic time frame to complete that first stage. The information you gather during that first stage will guide you with the deadlines for the next stage.  I would also take another leaf from NASA's book. President Kennedy said, “before the decade is out”. Given that he made this speech in 1961, NASA had around 9 years to complete the project. Yet it was not absolute.  Theoretically, the deadline was 31 December 1969, but the actual deadline was a grey area until NASA got closer to achieving the goal.  Deadlines are good as they bring energy to the project. Yet, unrealistic deadlines bring nothing but stress to a project.  I know an online course will take me about 6 weeks to complete. I know the process, and I've learned from experience that the whole process takes six weeks.  If I were to stop doing all my other work, close my calendar to appointments and work solidly for fourteen hours a day for two weeks, I might be able to complete the course in two weeks, but all I would have is a lot of stress. Not pleasant.  Six weeks gives me time to bring the course to life, check things, and make sure everything fits together.  And the final part of developing any project is to be clear about your outcomes.  I refer you back to the opening quotation from President Kennedy: "I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth." A perfect project outcome statement. It's clear about the objective, and there is a timeline. There was nothing else for NASA to know. President Kennedy didn't have the skills or knowledge to do this himself; that was for the scientists and engineers to work out.  Something they did with magnificent effort on the 20th July 1969.  Thank you, Phil, for your question and thank you to you, too, for listening. It just remains for me to wish you all a very, very productive week.

House Democrats released a trove of emails from convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, which Democrats claim implicates Trump. Is this the scandal that will take Trump down, or is this another desperate attempt that will fall flat? Will we ever get the whole truth regarding Epstein? Glenn and Stu react to an interview with Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.), in which he calls out Democrats for their cruelty toward the other side. Glenn goes through the steps required for a civil war to begin. Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) joins to discuss how he aims to fix Texas' out-of-control property taxes.

1. Kennedy’s Humor and Persona (GRAB SEN KENNEDY'S NEW BOOK HERE!) Kennedy is a "Southern trial lawyer with a sharp wit", often underestimated due to his accent and folksy demeanor. He’s known for devastating cross-examinations of judicial nominees, both Democrat and Republican. His humor is often biting and irreverent, with jokes about colleagues like Chuck Schumer, Mitch McConnell, and even Ted Cruz. 2. Behind-the-Scenes Senate Culture Kennedy compares the Senate to junior high school, full of cliques, egos, and petty drama. He shares stories of interactions with nominees who failed basic constitutional knowledge. The book aims to demystify the Senate and show how disconnected Washington can be from everyday Americans. 3. Critique of Washington Kennedy argues that Washington lacks common sense, and that change is only possible by removing entrenched interests (“pigs out of the creek”). He emphasizes the importance of storytelling in politics, using humor to make serious points. 4. Praise and Promotion Cruz and Ferguson praise Kennedy’s storytelling and comedic timing. The book is a very giftable item, especially for those with conservative leanings or frustrations with Washington.
