Doug Stuart welcomes back James Whitford, founder of Watered Gardens and the True Charity Initiative, for an in-depth discussion on his new book, The Crisis of Dependency: How Our Efforts to Solve Poverty Are Trapping People in It, and What We Can Do to Foster Freedom Instead. James shares the journey from launching a small local ministry in Joplin, Missouri, to spearheading a national movement focused on transforming how we address poverty.Diving into the roots of toxic charity and the pitfalls of well-intended handouts, James explains how our charitable efforts often create cycles of dependency—rather than empowering those in need. He unpacks the principles of true charity: it should be privately funded, outcome-driven, and challenge-oriented, always respecting the dignity and agency of every individual.Doug and James also explore practical steps for compassionate, effective giving, the important role of relationships in overcoming poverty, and how churches and organizations can shift from relief-based to empowerment-based ministry. With references to Frédéric Bastiat, John Stuart Mill, and powerful personal anecdotes, this episode challenges listeners to rethink what it means to truly help—and to foster real freedom in their communities.Crisis of Dependency Book Description:Millions in the U.S. are trapped in cycles of poverty due to well-meaning but misguided charitable models. In The Crisis of Dependency, James Whitford, Founder of Watered Gardens Ministries, shares how our compassion often perpetuates the very problems we aim to solve. Through personal stories, firsthand experience, and research, he reveals that handouts offer temporary relief but deepen dependency.James has worked for decades with those struggling with homelessness and poverty and after a brief stint of living on the streets, he recognized that what most people in poverty need isn't material aid alone, but a path to self-sufficiency. Inspired by thought leaders like Marvin Olasky and Robert D. Lupton, and drawing from his own ministry, Whitford reimagined charity as one that restores dignity through relationship and accountability. His work has transformed lives by helping individuals build the skills and mindset needed for long-term success.This book offers a blueprint for those who want to move beyond transactional charity. James invites readers to embrace approaches that challenge the status quo and cultivate meaningful, sustainable change in communities.Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Use code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Podsworth Ad Read BEFORE & AFTER processing:https://youtu.be/vbsOEODpQGs ★ Support this podcast ★
This week we are joined by the wonderful Chris Mead. Chris is a real font of improv knowledge and we delve into a wide variety of topics. He delves deep into his incredible journey into improv, from his early days performing at the Edinburgh Fringe to making improv his full-time career. We talk about his early influences, including Whose Line Is It Anyway?, and how discovering Baby Wants Candy: The Improvised Musical sparked lifelong friendships and helped shape his improv path. Chris reflects on training with the Crunchy Frog Collective, his part in building London's thriving improv scene, and how he developed not only as a performer but also as a facilitator. Along the way we cover his geeky passions — Doctor Who, musicals — his enduring friendship with Katy Schutte, and his current work with Hoopla Impro and The Pretend Company. We also look ahead at what's next: from his Develop Your Own Practice award exploring the merger of movement and ensemble work, to teaching and performing in over 25 countries, and running indie projects under his own name. Chris is also co-founder of Unmade Theatre Co and one-third of the sci-fi improv team Project2.

So sit back, relax and enjoy Chris' true story about making stuff up.
In this bonus episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, Jacob republishes his appearance on The Libertarian Christian Podcast with host Cody Cook and fellow guest Chris Todd, a missionary and trauma therapist based in the Middle East. The conversation begins with Chris sharing firsthand accounts of working with war-torn communities in Lebanon and Syria, offering insight into the human side of conflict and the deep wounds left by war, displacement, and oppression. These personal stories set the stage for a broader discussion on how Christians should understand the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict through the lens of faith, justice, and compassion.The dialogue then turns toward theology, examining how covenant theology provides a Christ-centered framework for understanding God's promises in contrast to dispensationalist approaches. Jacob explains how the covenants throughout Scripture point toward fulfillment in Christ, while Chris highlights how misreadings of Scripture often distort political support for the modern state of Israel. Together, the panel unpacks how theology shapes Christian engagement with issues of war, nationalism, and antisemitism, calling believers back to the peace of Christ as the true hope for both Israelis and Palestinians.Audio cleaned up with the Podsworth App!https://podsworth.comUse code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Episode Notes at BiblicalAnarchyPodcast.com
In this episode I talk with Phil Christman. Phil teaches writing at the University of Michigan and is author of the brand-new Why Christians Should Be Leftists, out now on Eerdmans Press. In this book he argues for the compatibility of left-wing politics and Christianity, making the case that Christians should be naturally inclined to leftism. We discuss his journey into leftist thought, deconstruction, the problems with both the Christian right and the DNC, his concerns about capitalism, liberalism, and libertarianism, why he thinks socialism is compatible with Jesus's teaching, and how leftism understands work and power. We also discuss, in light of the Charlie Kirk assassination, how Christians from different perspectives can learn to have better conversations.

In this episode of The Greenroom, Jacob Winograd is joined by Nikki Phillippi, a longtime YouTuber, musician, and outspoken Christian whose career has been marked by both influence and controversy. Nikki shares her story of navigating the highs and lows of public life — from early success in music and lifestyle content, to the painful seasons of backlash over adoption, her stance on COVID, and the loss of friendships along the way. Through it all, she has sought to remain unashamed of the gospel, even when speaking biblical truth came at the cost of her reputation.The conversation ranges widely: Nikki reflects on her upbringing and her father's powerful conversion, the way homeschooling and motherhood reshaped her view of family, and why she believes cancel culture often reveals the idols of our age. Jacob and Nikki also dive into conspiracies, child trafficking, and the dangers of the entertainment industry, before turning to bigger questions about politics, liberty, and the role of faith in resisting a hostile culture. By the end, listeners will come away with a raw and relatable picture of what it means to live freely in Christ while pushing back against both cultural pressure and political overreach.Audio cleaned up with the Podsworth App!https://podsworth.comUse code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!
Wilk Wilkinson, host of Derate the Hate and Director of Media Systems and Operations at Braver Angels, joins host Cody Cook to talk about our polarized political climate and how to rise above it. Braver Angels is a cross-partisan grassroots movement that strives to bridge toxic partisan divides through civil dialogue and civic renewal. Wilkinson shares his journey from a “toxic keyboard warrior” to advocating for depolarized conversations, emphasizing that dialogue doesn't mean compromising core beliefs—like a libertarian's stance against state violence—but fosters understanding. Can you engage neo-Nazis or Klansmen? Wilkinson, friends with de-radicalization expert Daryl Davis, insists even the darkest minds can teach us something, preventing downstream harm. While fear-driven memes grab clicks, Braver Angels' love-based approach, though more challenging to scale, builds trust over outrage. Wilkinson's Derate the Hate podcast and BraverAngels.org invite you to join this patriotic movement to heal divides.Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Use code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Podsworth Ad Read BEFORE & AFTER processing:https://youtu.be/vbsOEODpQGs ★ Support this podcast ★

In this book she defends the Protestant tradition, explaining both its strengths and challenges. We discuss Sola Scriptura, debates between Catholics and Protestants, how many people get Protestantism wrong, and why she believes the label still matters.

This week we welcome the wonderful Rebecca MacMillan to the show. A founding member of The Maydays, Rebecca has been at the heart of the UK improv scene for many years. In this episode we explore her improv journey, from her early days discovering the artform to her time performing with Closer Each Day, the UK's longest running improvised soap opera, and beyond. We also chat about the incredible projects she is part of now, including her work building and nurturing the improv community in Stroud. Along the way we take a fascinating detour into her experiences as a historical interpreter and how that unique background continues to shape her approach to improvisation today. So it's time to grab a brew, sit back, relax and find out all about Rebecca's true story about making stuff up.
Doug Stuart sits down with Jordan Bush—missionary, author, and Bitcoin advocate—for a deep dive into the intersections of sound money, faith, and global impact. Jordan shares his firsthand experiences as a missionary witnessing the economic collapse in Venezuela, which opened his eyes to the human cost of currency debasement and the urgent need for financial alternatives. Together, they unpack core questions around what makes Bitcoin "sound money," why its scarcity matters, and how it's being adopted by missionaries and nonprofits in challenging environments worldwide.Jordan explains why Bitcoin has a unique value proposition for Christians and liberty-minded individuals, making the moral and theological case for decentralized currency. The conversation weaves stories of hardship, hope, and practical tips for approaching Bitcoin—not as financial advice, but as an exploration of conviction and stewardship. Whether you're skeptical about digital currency, curious about its real-world uses, or already a believer, this episode sheds light on Bitcoin's potential to transform lives and societies.Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Use code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Podsworth Ad Read BEFORE & AFTER processing:https://youtu.be/vbsOEODpQGs ★ Support this podcast ★
On dit du Premier ministre, Sébastien Lecornu, qu'il est silencieux, discret, secret, modeste, prudent, à l'écoute... Pour l'instant, il a écouté, mais n'a rien dit. C'est ce qu'ont dit notamment les Socialistes et les responsables du Rassemblement national à leur sortie de Matignon. D'après Arlette Chabot, il va falloir qu'il sorte de son trou. C'est une avancée très concrète de quelque chose de symbolique. Cela prend la suite de la suppression des avantages pour les anciens ministres. Des organismes sont susceptibles d'être supprimés par le Premier ministre, Sébastien Lecornu. Dominique Seux affirme avoir la liste des délégations concernées. A priori, la reconnaissance d'un État palestinien part d'un bon sentiment. En plus, c'est une grande victoire diplomatique de la France. Mais Isabelle Lasserre a peur que cela ne change pas grand-chose, car les deux parties principales de cette histoire, les États-Unis et Israël, sont vent debout contre cette initiative.

In this episode I talk to Jacob Winograd about covenant theology and its impact on Biblical interpretation. We discussed my recent conversation with Stephen Angliss about dispensationalism, and Jacob argues for the alternative of covenant theology. He explains how God works through various covenants and their fulfillment, how it provides a hermeneutical framework for reading the Bible, how it is different than dispensationalism, and how it intersects both with the Reformed tradition and political readings of the text. We also discuss how covenant theology can help us think critically about the second Trump administration.

In this episode I talk with Dr. Mark Nanos about his recent contribution on Philippians to the book Judeophobia and the New Testament, out now on Eerdmans. Dr. Nanos is the leading proponent of the ‘Paul Within Judaism' school which reads Paul as a Jew who continues to understand his mission as an apostle within the framework of Judaism. He argues that the Christian interpretive tradition has marginalized and disparaged Judaism in unhelpful and unhistorical ways, and that Philippians 3 has often been used in anti-Jewish polemic. He situates Philippians 3 within its historical and rhetorical context, explaining how references to ‘dogs' and ‘stomachs' make more sense within the framework of Cynic philosophy and should best be understood as an attack against pagan culture instead of Judaism. We talk about Paul's Jewish identity and his belief that gentiles were incorporated into Israel through faith, as well as why modern Christians need to seriously reconsider Paul and his Jewish identity if we want to faithfully interpret the New Testament.

Stephan is a patent attorney and libertarian writer in Houston whose book Against Intellectual Property is the seminal work on this subject. We discussed why intellectual property is not really property, why it places an undue burden on society, and how it inhibits the free exchange of culture and ideas.Stephan can be found at www.stephankinsella.com, at the Center for the Study of Innovative Freedom, and on X/Twitter @NSKinsellaResources mentioned in this episode:Stephan Kinsella's book, Against Intellectual Property – on Amazon and Free from the Mises InstituteStephan's Soho forum debate, Abolish Copyrights and Patents?RiP: A Remix Manifesto – Amazon Video and Free on YouTubeRichard Stallman's book, Free Software, Free SocietyAudio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Use code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Podsworth Ad Read BEFORE & AFTER processing:https://youtu.be/vbsOEODpQGs ★ Support this podcast ★

How do you get people who've never seen improv before to come to a show? In this episode of the Liverpool Comedy ImprovCast, Iain Luke Jones chats with Dave Hodgson about the tricky art of marketing improv to non-improvisers. From finding the right language to avoiding insider jargon, to making improv feel exciting, accessible, and impossible to miss, we dive into what really works (and what definitely doesn't!). Expect honest anecdotes, practical tips, and a few laughs along the way as we explore how to turn curious newcomers into lifelong fans of live improv comedy.
Doug Stuart welcomes Elizabeth Nolan Brown—senior editor at Reason, author of the bi-weekly Sex and Tech newsletter, co-founder of Feminists for Liberty, and adjunct professor at the University of Cincinnati. Together, they dive deep into the "MAHA" (Make America Healthy Again) movement, exploring its roots, cultural evolution, and increasing intersection with politics—particularly within libertarian and right-leaning circles.Doug and Liz discuss the personal journeys that led them to think more critically about health, food, and nutrition, and how public perceptions of "crunchy" or alternative health lifestyles have shifted across the political spectrum. The conversation touches on the elitism sometimes present in health movements, the pros and cons of government regulation (like banning food dyes or mandating certain foods), and how much of the MAHA movement aligns—or clashes—with libertarian ideals of personal responsibility, choice, and skepticism of state authority.With humorous anecdotes about picky eating, parenting, and label reading, as well as a lightning round on healthy habits and guilty pleasures, this episode offers a balanced, insightful, and fun look at the current state of American health culture—and why it matters for libertarians and non-libertarians alike.Whether you're health-curious, politically engaged, or simply enjoy smart, lively conversation, this episode is a must-listen!Show Notes:Read Trad Wives and Tallow Fries: How the Wellness Wars Flipped Health and Food Politics Upside DownWatch From Big Gulps to Raw Milk: The Rise of MAHAAudio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Use code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Podsworth Ad Read BEFORE & AFTER processing:https://youtu.be/vbsOEODpQGs ★ Support this podcast ★
In this no-bullshido episode of Hoots on the Ground, host Adam Hoots reconnects with Jesse “Chuy” Hernandez—the plumber's son turned foreman, GC leader, consultant, author, and unapologetic “selfish servant.” Jesse shares his journey from apprentice to industry thought leader, tying sobriety, service, and Lean thinking together. He breaks down his three leadership lessons—zoom level, time horizon, and lingo—and shows how those same gaps cause project failures. Adam and Jesse also tackle problem-solving, the power of listening with eyes and ears, the myth of the “indispensable superintendent,” and why sometimes the fastest fix is deciding something isn't a problem. They preview the upcoming LCI Congress, scheduled for October 20-24, 2025, in Arlington, Texas, including Jesse's “Sweat Equity Improvement” workshop, and close with his next mission: training for a full Ironman to prove ordinary people can do extraordinary things. Key takeaways include: · Leadership maturity evolves through zoom level, time horizon, and lingo — meet people where they are, not where you want them to be. · The fastest way to solve a problem? Decide it's not a problem — and focus on the ones that truly matter. · Lean isn't about efficiency—it's about building people's problem-solving capabilities through improving work. · Listening with your eyes and ears is the highest-leverage technology in construction; forget the dashboards, pay attention to people.

In this episode I talk with Dr. Christy Cobb and Dr. Katherine Shaner about the new book they coedited entitled Ancient Slavery and Its New Testament Contexts, out now on Eerdmans. They explain the institution of slavery in antiquity, its pervasiveness in Greco-Roman society, and how Romans and Jews alike thought about slavery. Dr. Cobb explains her chapter on gender roles, noting how men and women experienced slavery differently, and Dr. Shaner explains her chapter on New Testament household codes and their complex presentation of slavery. We then talk about the conflicting instructions regarding slavery in the New Testament, the Bible's role in the abolitionist movement, and why Christians should seriously think about this issue. Dr. Cobb also wanted to refer curious listeners to the following article, which explores slavery in the Rabbinic tradition in greater detail: Hezser, Catherine. “Part Whore, Part Wife: Slave Women in the Palestinian Rabbinic Tradition.” In Doing Gender - Doing Religion: Case Studies on Intersectionality in Early Judaism, Christianity and Islam, edited by Ute E.

Il a fait son grand retour aux Etats-Unis. Vendredi 15 août, le président russe, Vladimir Poutine, a posé le pied sur la base américaine d'Anchorage, en Alaska, avant de fouler un long tapis rouge et de s'entretenir en tête à tête avec Donald Trump dans la limousine présidentielle. Cette réhabilitation spectaculaire du maître du Kremlin sur la scène internationale devait être le point d'orgue des efforts diplomatiques entrepris par le locataire de la Maison Blanche sur le dossier ukrainien, au cœur de l'été.Depuis, cependant, les discussions se sont enlisées. Aucun accord de cessez-le-feu n'a encore été trouvé. Et si le président ukrainien, Volodymyr Zelensky, travaille toujours à obtenir des garanties de sécurité, de concert avec les Européens, Vladimir Poutine n'a en rien infléchi sa position.Que faut-il retenir de toute cette séquence diplomatique ? Pourquoi les différents protagonistes ont-ils subitement accepté de se rencontrer pour discuter ? Et à quelles fins, alors que le peuple ukrainien subit chaque jour les bombardements russes ? Dans cet épisode du podcast « L'Heure du Monde », Sylvie Kauffmann, éditorialiste au Monde, analyse les derniers mouvements diplomatiques sur le front ukrainien.Un épisode de Marion Bothorel. Présentation et rédaction en chef : Jean-Guillaume Santi. Réalisation et musiques : Amandine Robillard. Dans cet épisode : extraits d'une interview d'Emmanuel Macron accordée à LCI, le 19 août ; du direct de France 24 et de la conférence de presse donnée par Donald Trump et Vladimir Poutine à Anchorage, le 15 août ; de la réception de Volodymyr Zelensky à la Maison Blanche, le 28 février.Cet épisode a été diffusé le 2 septembre 2025.---Pour soutenir "L'Heure du Monde" et notre rédaction, abonnez-vous sur abopodcast.lemonde.fr Hébergé par Audion.

C dans l'air du 1er septembre 2025 - Dette : la faute aux séniors ?À une semaine du vote de confiance à l'Assemblée nationale, qu'il a lui-même sollicité autour de la question budgétaire et qui pourrait sceller le sort de son gouvernement, François Bayrou multiplie les initiatives. Dimanche soir, il a accordé un long entretien télévisé en direct de Matignon aux journalistes des quatre chaînes d'information — LCI, Franceinfo, BFMTV et CNews. Et ce lundi, il entame une série d'entretiens avec les différents partis politiques. Objectif : trouver un compromis sur le budget 2026 et sauver sa tête. Mais le peut-il encore ?Si le Premier ministre fait mine d'y croire, en se disant "ouvert à la discussion", il a une nouvelle fois défendu ses choix budgétaires et balayé les propositions du PS, qui se dit "volontaire" pour lui succéder à Matignon. François Bayrou a également affirmé n'avoir « jamais dit qu'il fallait cibler les boomers, dont [il est]". Tout en appelant les retraités à aider les plus jeunes, qu'il juge pour une partie "sacrifiés" et "sans destin", il a ajouté : "Je veux réveiller les aînés parce que je suis sûr qu'ils sont solidaires avec ce que je dis. Ce sont leurs enfants et leurs petits-enfants". Le Premier ministre a par ailleurs écarté l'hypothèse d'une suppression de l'abattement de 10 % pour frais professionnels dont bénéficient les retraités.Une semaine après avoir pris de court toute la classe politique en convoquant un vote de confiance à l'Assemblée, le chef du gouvernement a justifié sa démarche : "Si je n'ai pas l'assentiment minimal des Français et de ceux qui les représentent, il n'y a aucune politique courageuse possible. Vous êtes obligé de battre en retraite sur chaque mesure, et après, vous vous retrouvez censuré". Mais c'est un euphémisme de dire que le Premier ministre n'a pas réussi à convaincre l'opposition… ni même son propre camp. La présidente de l'Assemblée nationale, Yaël Braun-Pivet, n'a en effet pas épargné le chef du gouvernement. Au micro de France Inter, ce lundi matin, elle a critiqué "les mots maladroits" de François Bayrou sur les oppositions ou les "boomers". Elle a aussi appelé, en cas de chute du gouvernement, les forces politiques à se réunir pour se mettre d'accord sur une coalition jusqu'en 2027.À l'extrême droite, les réactions sont tout aussi critiques du côté du Rassemblement national."On a vu un mélange d'adieu pitoyable… Il a compris que c'était fini. Il va profiter de ses derniers moments d'interview avec le syndrome Dalida pour mourir sur scène", a fustigé le porte-parole Laurent Jacobelli dimanche soir sur BFMTV, à l'unisson des cadres du parti.Le vice-président du RN, Sébastien Chenu, a parlé d'un Premier ministre "naufragé, au bout du rouleau". Invités mardi matin à Matignon par François Bayrou, dont ils souhaitent la chute, Marine Le Pen et Jordan Bardella ont également décidé de réunir ce lundi après-midi un "bureau de campagne" du Rassemblement national, pour anticiper une possible dissolution et de nouvelles élections législatives.À gauche, plusieurs partis — dont La France insoumise et les Écologistes — ont déjà indiqué qu'ils ne répondront pas présents à l'invitation de François Bayrou."Pathétique et crépusculaire", a cinglé dimanche le patron du PS, Olivier Faure. Alors que François Bayrou affirmait que le socialiste n'était pas "disponible" pour parler du budget pendant ses vacances, Olivier Faure a démenti sur X (ex-Twitter) : "Je suis parti 10 jours, j'ai toujours été joignable, et je suis rentré en Seine-et-Marne le 30 juillet". Clémentine Autain, députée NFP de Seine-Saint-Denis, s'est également indignée sur X :"Est-il possible d'arrêter de raconter que ce sont les générations futures qui vont payer la dette ?"Elle poursuit : "Ce sont les classes populaires qui vont payer tout de suite, par les coupes budgétaires qui s'abattent sur les protections sociales et les services publics."Le principal syndicat représentatif dans la fonction publique, la CGT, appelle désormais à "tout bloquer" et à la grève les 10 et 18 septembre, selon un communiqué publié ce lundi. Les deux autres principales organisations syndicales, quant à elles, concentrent leurs efforts sur la mobilisation du 18 septembre.Et vous, qu'avez-vous retenu de l'interview de François Bayrou ? Vous a-t-il convaincu ?Les "boomers" sont-ils responsables de la dette ?LES EXPERTS :- Jérôme JAFFRÉ - Politologue - Chercheur associé au CEVIPOF- Philippe DESSERTINE - Directeur de l'Institut de Haute Finance, auteur de "L'horizon des possibles"- Nathalie MAURET - Reporter politique - Groupe de presse régionale Ebra- Anne ROSENCHER - Directrice déléguée de la rédaction – L'Express

In this episode I discuss how the gospel writers develop both the messianic and divine identity of Jesus, building up from their sources. I discuss my preferred theory to the Synoptic problem, the Farrer Hypothesis. It postulates that Mark was the first written gospel, Matthew used Mark as a source and added his own material, and Luke used both Mark and Matthew as a source. I then explore a recent proposal made by James Barker who argues that John knew the Synoptic gospels. Advocating for the Farrer theory, he explores ‘Synoptic trajectories', showing how each successive evangelist developed their source material, and shows how the line runs through John, which was a creative rewriting of the Synoptics. I apply these theories to the opening verse of each gospel. Mark 1:1 acknowledges that Jesus is Messiah, possibly alludes to Genesis 1-2, and sets the beginning of Jesus' ministry with John the Baptist. Matthew agrees but pushes Jesus' origins back to David through Abraham while narrating the divine conception of Jesus. Luke further develops the divine and messianic Christology of Mark and Matthew, tracing Jesus' lineage back to Adam, boldly affirming his messianic status, and more extensively narrating Jesus' divine conception. John agrees with all of this and takes the final step, showing Jesus participating in creation while retaining his Davidic, Messianic Christology.

In this episode I talk with economist Dr. Bob Murphy about the Federal Reserve. Murphy argues that the Federal Reserve should be abolished. We explore the history of the Fed and how it has not only failed to produce economic stability but causes great economic harm. Murphy explains how the Fed devalues the currency, the impact Fed policy has on average Americans, and why Christians should be critical of the Fed. He also discusses why it should be abolished and how it can be reformed in the meantime. If you want a one-podcast introduction to the Federal Reserve, this is it!

C dans l'air du 13 août 2025 - Budget: quand la canicule s'en mêleEmission présentée par Salhia Brakhlia.Déjà en difficulté, l'économie française est mise à mal par la canicule, qui coûte cher à l'Etat et aux Français. Soumis à de très fortes chaleurs, les employés du bâtiment ou agricoles travaillent moins et la productivité diminue. Alors que le système de climatisation de nombreux trains risquent de tomber en panne sous l'effet des températures élevées, la SNCF est contrainte d'en supprimer par dizaines. Quand aux centrales nucléaires, certaines se retrouvent forcées de mettre des réacteurs à l'arrêt car les rivières étant trop chaudes, l'eau ne peut être prélevée normalement pour les refroidir.En matière budgétaire, l'Etat commence à être à bout de souffle. Le gouvernement de François Bayrou s'apprête ainsi à prendre des mesures drastiques qui font déjà grincer des dents. Car ce sont en effet plus de 43 milliards d'euros qu'il faudra mobiliser pour boucler le budget de l'année 2026.Suppression de l'abattement de 10% sur les impôts des retraités, suppression de jours feriés, économies sur l'assurance chômage ou encore sur le système hospitalier... Le Premier ministre a multiplié les ballons d'essai. Tous ces arbitrages auront lieu en septembre mais on peut d'ores et déjà s'attendre à un serrage de vis difficile à accepter.Parmi les différentes mesures annoncées par François Bayrou, certaines cristallisent les crispations. C'est notamment le cas de la suppression de deux jours fériés. Le Premier ministre avait cité "comme exemple" le "lundi de Pâques" et le "8-Mai". Une mesure qui doit permettre d'économiser "4,2 milliards" d'euros, selon Matignon.Au sein des entreprises, les avis sont unanimes. Une équipe de C dans l'air a pu le vérifier en se rendant dans une usine qui produit des panneaux de bois. Sur place, il est hors de questions pour les ouvriers de se priver de deux jours de congé. La cadence élevée de la production et l'usure à la tâche rendent nécessaires ces temps d'arrêt où les travailleurs peuvent souffler. C'est selon eux une respiration indispensable pour bien faire leur travail. Auprès d'employés de bureau, l'opinion est la même, comme, d'ailleurs, dans le reste de la population. Selon un récent sondage Elabe pour BFMTV, 75% des Français se disent opposés à cette suppression de deux jours fériés. Plus généralement, 72 % des Français trouvent que le Premier ministre ne "répartit pas équitablement les efforts demandés", selon un sondage de l'Ifop publié en juillet pour LCI.Les Français se plaignent également d'une baisse de la qualité des services publics. C dans l'air a suivi un postier qui effectue sa tournée à l'ancienne. Il regrette de voir son entreprise tenter de faire des économies à tout prix. Il dénonce les services à la personne, payants, mis en place par La Poste, comme le fait de passer un peu de temps avec les personnes âgées et isolées. Ce moment simple était autrefois naturel et gratuit. Lui met un point d'honneur à essayer de passer du temps avec les gens qu'il suit. La disparition de ce lien du quotidien fait selon lui partie des éléments qui nourrissent une colère croissante au sein de la population.Entre le vote du budget et une mobilisation sociale qui s'organise pour septembre, la rentrée politique s'annonce compliquée.Comment trouver les 43 milliards d'euros manquants pour finaliser le bugdet 2026 ? L'effort demandé aux Français est-il équitablement réparti ? Les services publics français sont-ils menacés par les futures restrictions budgétaires ?LES EXPERTS :- Philippe DESSERTINE - Directeur de l'Institut de Haute Finance - Auteur de « L'Horizon des possibles »- Christophe JAKUBYSZYN - Directeur des rédactions – « Les Echos »- Bruno JEUDY - Directeur délégué et éditorialiste - « La Tribune Dimanche »- Caroline MICHEL-AGUIRRE - Grand reporter au service politique - « Le Nouvel Obs »
In this episode I explore Matthew 17:24-27, in which Peter is asked if Jesus pays the temple tax. After talking to Peter about this question, Jesus says the sons of kings are exempt from taxes, but “so that we do not offend them” Peter is to catch a fish with a coin in its mouth and pay the tax anyway. We explore the literary and historical context of this passage, showing that Matthew uses it to develop Jesus' messianic identity. This passage corresponds to Jeremiah 29:7, where Jeremiah tells the Babylonian exiles to seek the welfare of the city before describing Babylon's ultimate destruction. God's people should seek to live at peace with their neighbors knowing that God will come back and rescue them in the end. I then explore how the themes of not giving offense and seeking the welfare of neighbors are found in Romans 13 and 1 Peter 2, discussing our obligation to seek peace knowing that God will one day do away with these unjust systems.

In this episode I talk with pastor Stephen Angliss about Biblical dispensationalism. He is both reformed and a dispensationalist, and he makes the Biblical and theological case for dispensational theology. He argues that dispensationalism is a hermeneutical posture towards Scripture which enables Christians to see how God acts through different periods of history. He explains the main tenets of dispensationalism, its theological diversity, why he believes it is superior to covenant theology, how it fits into the Reformed tradition, and, very importantly, the role of Israel in dispensational eschatology.

Benjamin Giffone, author of the LCI-published book A House Divided: Technology, Worship, and Healing the Church After COVID, gave this presentation at FreedomFest 2025. Benj takes on one of the most controversial topics of our time—COVID-19 and the role of the Church in a world increasingly dominated by state control. He dives into how the pandemic exposed the fragile balance between personal freedom and government overreach, and how both the Church and the state reacted to the crisis.Watch LCI's full presentation on YouTube: https://youtu.be/4t4Lb61Cfzw?si=HcCHd2-bqFf2QHNDAudio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com ★ Support this podcast ★
