Last Hope of a Dying Republic with Rev. William Cook – If the pulpits rise again, we will not only save institutions. We will save children, marriages, neighborhoods, and the very experiment of liberty our ancestors risked everything for. The choice is plain. Will we choose chaos or choose Jesus?

I break down how Trump's retreat on immigration enforcement — refusing to invoke the Insurrection Act, pulling ICE from hostile blue states, and parroting Democrat talking points about “non-criminal” illegal labor — has emboldened blue-state insurrection while completely neutralizing red states. Now blue states will impose this tyranny on us in red states when they take over at the federal level, but thanks to Trump's bad endorsements, we will not have the infrastructure to fight Democrat tyranny the way blue states are successfully thwarting Trump. I also show how Trump is championing federal supremacy on all the wrong issues like gun control, AI, and land use, but not on immigration. Learn more about your ad choices.

Today, we begin our reflections on Paul's prayer in Ephesians 3:14-21. In this first devotional, we consider how: Knowing God as Father is to transform our prayers and relationships.
Evan and Tiki open the phones on the Giants coaching search, but the conversation quickly pivots to the most entertaining game of Wild Card Weekend: Bills vs Jaguars. After Josh Allen's ridiculous late push, the classic barstool argument erupts at the goal line. Do you take a knee at the 1 and bleed clock, or punch in the touchdown and trust your defense? Evan says it's simple: if you need a touchdown, you take the touchdown, because nothing is guaranteed in the red zone. The crew debates the value of those 30 extra seconds, the risk of giving away a down, and why Buffalo's past “13 seconds” trauma still hangs over every late game decision. Then the calls roll in, including a furious breakdown of a chaotic end of half sequence that nearly handed Jacksonville points and could have changed the entire game if the kick was made. And to top it off, Evan unloads on Tony Romo's bizarre broadcast, from head scratching commentary to a moment where Romo somehow convinced himself a clear Josh Allen touchdown might not count.

The world says Christmas is over. The Church says it has just begun.In this homily from Fr. Dom, we step into the Octave of Christmas and confront what this season actually demands of men. This is not a victory lap. This is formation. The Church keeps Christmas alive because families are under attack, fathers are distracted, and men are being pulled away from the center where God must reign.This episode places you back in front of the manger and refuses to let you look away. The Nativity is not decoration. It is a revelation. God in the flesh lies at the center of the Holy Family, and everything else takes its proper place around Him. That order matters. When God is not in the center, families fracture. When He is, grace flows.We reflect on the shepherds who dropped everything and ran to Bethlehem in haste. No hesitation. No excuses. Simple men with simple faith who abandoned worldly concerns to worship God. Their childlike faith stands in direct opposition to the pride, arrogance, and self-sufficiency that blinds so many men today.This episode also confronts hard realities. The massacre of the Holy Innocents exposes the hatred of evil for life itself. Satan targets children and families because that is where the future is formed. That is why the Church places the Holy Family front and center during the Octave of Christmas. This is spiritual warfare, and the family is the frontline.You will hear again the powerful story of a blind woman who truly saw Christ in the manger. Her faith exposes a painful truth: many who claim sight are blind, while those who trust see clearly. The manger reveals Christ born to die, the wood of the crib pointing directly to the wood of the Cross, and ultimately to the Eucharist, where Christ feeds His people.This episode challenges men directly. Fathers are called to be righteous like Saint Joseph. Husbands are called to love sacrificially. Families are called to pray together daily. No exceptions. No excuses. The domestic church rises or falls on whether men will lead with humility, obedience, and faith.The Holy Family is not meant to discourage you. It is meant to call you higher.Push play. Kneel before the manger. Then go build a family where God reigns at the center.3 Powerful Quotes from the Episode“These little hands and feet will be pierced for our transgressions.”“They dropped everything and went in haste. That is a good example for us.”“Satan wants to destroy the family. That is his number one target.”Key Takeaway for MenPut God back at the center of your home today. Pray with your wife. Pray with your children. Lead your domestic church with simple, obedient faith. If a family does not pray together, it will not stand.
Christmas is not soft. It is not sentimental. It is a declaration of war.In this homily from Fr. Dom, he confronts the manger and exposes what most men have been taught to ignore. The Incarnation is not a cozy scene meant for nostalgia. It is God entering enemy territory. It is Christ coming to do battle for your soul.Too many men walk past the manger without stopping. We have seen it too many times. We have grown numb. But the Church places the manger front and center for a reason. If you truly see it, it should cut you to the heart and force a response.In this episode, Fr. Dom shares a true story from his first Christmas as a priest. A blind woman approaches the manger, searching not with her eyes, but with her hands. When she finds the Infant Jesus, she understands what many men miss entirely: those tiny hands and feet were born to be pierced. Born for sacrifice. Born for war.That moment exposes a hard truth. Faith is not passive. Seeing Christ demands action.We walk straight from the wood of the manger to the wood of the Cross, and then to the altar. The same Christ who lay in the hay now gives you His Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity in the Eucharist. That reality changes everything, or it should.This episode forces a question that every Catholic man must answer honestly:Has Christmas actually changed you?If the Incarnation does not move you to conversion, you are missing the point. If the manger does not stir you to fight sin, lead your family, and reject the lies of the world, then you are standing still while darkness advances.Jesus did not come to make you comfortable. He came to claim you. He came to fill you with courage, peace, and resolve. And then He sends you back into the world carrying His light.Christmas is merry because Christ has already entered the fight and won. But you still have a role to play.This episode is not meant to be admired. It is meant to be lived.Push play. Let the manger break your heart. Then take Christ into battle.Referenced in This EpisodeThe Nativity and the mangerThe CrossThe EucharistThe Holy FamilyThe Holy Sacrifice of the MassPowerful Quotes from the Episode“Blessed are these little hands and feet that will be pierced for our transgressions.”“She was blind, but she could see. I could see, but I was the blind one.”“That infant in the manger may look weak, but that is a warrior.”Key Takeaway for MenStop treating Christmas like a memory and start treating it like a mission. Kneel before the manger or the Eucharist today and give Christ permission to change you. Then lead. Fight sin. Bring light into your home. If Christmas does not lead to conversion, it has been wasted.
Is the slogan, “stand for the flag, kneel for the cross” a harmless expression of the conviction that good Christians can also be good citizens? Or if we decode it, do we find that a meaning that's much more pernicious than that? In this episode, Dan argues that this slogan is an expression of Christian nationalism, giving voice to anti-Black racism and licensing election denial and efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

In this episode of The Snap Chat, Alex welcomes back long-time creator Bynx to discuss the current state of Marvel Snap, touching on Bynxs' new content series and the community's urgent desire for Series Drops to fix the bloated Series 4 and 5 economy. The duo dives deep into the "Weapon X" season reviews, analyzing Weapon H as a fun but skippable addition for Discard loyalists, while expressing skepticism about the new "Hybrid" Discard/Destroy cards, Marrow and Wild Child, which feel too niche despite strong stats. The excitement peaks with Maverick, a 4-star pick for Surfer decks, and especially the Fastball Special, which earns a rare 5-star rating from Binks for its incredible potential to revitalize Galactus and Nimrod strategies. The conversation wraps up with a mailbag segment on the Grand Arena event, where the hosts praise the concept of pre-made decks but critique the poor balance execution, ultimately suggesting a hybrid format to improve future limited-time modes.

Yes, Jesus modeled what a servant leader should look like. Yes, Jesus did not claim what He could have claimed when He came the first time. However, the next time He comes, there is no doubt Who is in charge and what role Jesus will forever claim. Kneel and surrender to Him today! Key Phrase: “at the name of Jesus every knee should bow.” Philippians 2:10
Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, a well-regarded ENT specialist, became one of the most polarizing figures in American medicine after refusing to fall in line during COVID. When her off-label use of ivermectin went public, the backlash was immediate: her hospital suspended her, the medical board came after her, and she was thrust into a national firestorm. In this episode, she lays out the blueprint she says was used to punish dissenting physicians—how hospital systems, public-health agencies, and industry interests closed ranks to enforce a single narrative. She breaks down the conflicts of interest baked into the modern “medical-industrial complex,” and why she decided to fight rather than fold. From vaccine-injury cases to mandate battles to the unprecedented wave of medical censorship, Dr. Bowden pulls no punches. She takes aim at the NIH, FDA, major hospital systems, and the Biden administration—exposing what she sees as a system more interested in profit, control, and compliance than patient care.

Solomon was the king of Israel, yet he humbled himself publicly and offered himself as a living sacrifice to the Lord. Jesus is the King of all Heaven and earth, yet He humbled Himself publicly and offered Himself as a sacrifice for us. They both praised God, gave Him glory, and prayed for themselves and their people. So, if the King of Israel, and more significantly the King of Heaven and earth, are not too important to humble themselves and offer their lives to God, we have no excuse. So, follow their example. Humble yourself and dedicate your life to the Lord. Kneel before Him and pray. Lift your hands in praise. Remind yourself of God's holiness, faithfulness, and kindness so you will have hope and faith for the future

Parenting a child who's melting down while you're barely holding it together yourself can feel impossible.One minute you're calm, and the next—you're yelling too. You didn't mean to, but their meltdown triggered yours. You're not alone, and it doesn't mean you're a bad parent. It means both of your nervous systems are overwhelmed.Let me share why this happens and exactly how to stop the cycle of dysregulation before it spirals out of control. You'll learn how your calm can anchor your child, what to do in the heat of the moment, and how small shifts can lead to lasting change in your family.Why Do I Lose My Cool When My Child Has a Meltdown?When your child screams, your nervous system feels it. That's because of mirror neurons—the part of the brain that syncs emotions and energy between people. Your child's chaos can trigger yours, just like your stress can trigger theirs.Here's what's happening:Your stress cup overflows just like your child's. Every demand, noise, or unexpected change adds a drop until you spill over.Your survival brain takes over. Logic goes offline, patience disappears, and you react instead of respond.You move into fight, flight, or freeze, which makes emotional regulation nearly impossible.

Read Online“Two people went up to the temple area to pray; one was a Pharisee and the other was a tax collector. The Pharisee took up his position and spoke this prayer to himself, ‘O God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of humanity—greedy, dishonest, adulterous—or even like this tax collector.'” Luke 18:10–11What a sad prayer. Of course it wasn't even a prayer to God since the Pharisee “spoke this prayer to himself.” The prayer of the tax collector, however, was a perfect model for all prayer. We read that the tax collector “stood off at a distance and would not even raise his eyes to heaven but beat his breast and prayed, ‘O God, be merciful to me a sinner.'” Which prayer more resembles your own prayer?To honestly answer that question, let's examine both prayers. First of all, the contrast of these two prayers is a contrast between humility and pride. The Pharisee was clearly full of pride. Pride blinds us from true self-knowledge. Saint Teresa of Ávila teaches us that the very first thing we must do on our journey to God is obtain self-knowledge through humility. Without that, we will never grow in holiness.The sin of pride is obvious in the prayer of the Pharisee and, therefore, his lack of true self-knowledge is also evident. Note that even his physical posture of standing depicts pride. Throughout the Scriptures, kneeling, or even falling prostrate, is the disposition of the humble. In addition to standing, the Pharisee's prayer was a list of his own goodness. He very well may have fasted twice a week and paid tithes on his whole income. But his prayer suggests that he did this by his own effort. He did not ascribe those acts to the grace and strength of God, which means they were not true acts of charity. His prayer suggests that he doesn't need God in order to do good. This is also seen in the fact that he asks nothing of God. Instead, he simply thanks God for how good he is through his own effort. The result is that God gives him nothing, since he asked for nothing.True prayer must begin with the humble recognition of our weakness and need for God. The tax collector expressed this humility by bowing his head to the ground, not even daring to look up to Heaven. This reveals he did not consider himself worthy of God's grace. Truth be told, he wasn't worthy of it. That's why God's grace is a mercy. It is all mercy in that He bestows that which we are not worthy to receive. And He only bestows it on those who know they are not worthy of it. The words spoken by the tax collector are the perfect model of prayer because his words depict these truths. As a sinner, he doesn't deserve mercy but begs for God's grace as an act of God's mercy.When you pray, how do you pray? What is the disposition of your heart and for what do you pray? Begin by considering the physical position in which you pray. Though we can pray standing, sitting, kneeling or even lying down, there is something very good about kneeling or even lying prostrate. It doesn't mean we have to do so the entire time we pray, but it is a good practice to kneel, bow your head or fall down prostrate before God at least for a moment each day. Do you do this? If not, consider making this a daily habit. When you pray, do you begin your prayer with humility? We begin the Mass by examining our conscience and confessing our sins. This is a good example of how to begin your prayer every time you pray. Humble yourself by calling to mind your sins and weaknesses. Confess them to God and acknowledge the fact that, because of your sins, you are unworthy of God's mercy. Humility like this will help you to see yourself as God sees you, and this will help you open yourself to the grace you need from God to grow in holiness.Reflect, today, upon the humility found in the prayer of this tax collector. As you do, look at your own practice of prayer and discern whether you imitate this tax collector's disposition and prayer. Try to commit to physically humbling yourself before our Lord every day. Kneel, bow your head, or fall down prostrate every day. When you do pray, beg for mercy as one who doesn't deserve anything from God. This is the humble truth on which all prayer must be based. The more you can humble yourself this way, the more God will lift you up and pour forth His mercy upon you. O God, be merciful to me, a sinner. I bow before You, most glorious and merciful God. I offer You my praise and gratitude for Your abundant mercy in my life. I am not worthy of You and Your grace, but You bestow it anyway. For that I thank You with profound gratitude and beg for the ongoing gift of Your grace. Jesus, I trust in You.Image via Adobe Stock: Featured, MainSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

He's the author of the 2022 best-selling memoir “Why I Stand.”As a youth, he struggled with anxiety—but a chance encounter in an elevator with the man who would later become his pastor changed the course of his life.Faith helped him triumph over his battle with anxiety, but it also later put him at the center of a national debate. After George Floyd's death, at the height of the Black Lives Matter movement, most NBA players chose to kneel during the national anthem. But Isaac chose to stand. Later, his decision to decline the COVID-19 vaccines also drew intense media scrutiny.In this episode, he shares his story, his convictions, his choices and why he made them, and what it means to believe in something bigger than yourself.Now, through his UNITUS shoe line, Isaac shares Bible verses and a message of hope.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.
