Podcasts about lenient

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for November 24, 2024 is: lenient • LEEN-yunt • adjective Someone or something described as lenient is not harsh, severe, or strict. In other words, they allow a lot of freedom and leeway, and do not punish or correct in a strong way. // The teacher was lenient in her grading after the holiday break. // Some concerned citizens felt the punishment was too lenient. See the entry > Examples: “In the adult section of the library, the patrons arrived generally by themselves. … If they did something as human as nodding off, they would be kicked out immediately. … The children's section was a little more lenient when it came to rules. A child would be splayed on the floor staring at the ceiling with their mittens and boots lying around them as though they were pieces of them that had broken off. There were children playing Battleship. There would be a child sitting in a chair shaped like a giant hand, reading up on the increasingly absurdly horrific circumstances of orphans while eating a box of Goldfish crackers.” — Heather O'Neill, “Lite-Brite Times Square,” Good Mom on Paper: Writers on Creativity and Motherhood, 2022 Did you know? If you've ever had a peaceful, easy feeling—perhaps brought on by someone who you know won't let you down—then you'll have no problem understanding the earliest meaning of lenient. When it entered English in the mid-1600s, lenient described something soothing—such as a medication—that relieved pain or stress, or otherwise enabled someone to take it easy. For a brief window of time it was even used as a noun, referring to any of various ointments and balms that help heal wounds in the long run. Lenient comes from the Latin verb lenire, meaning “to soften or soothe,” which in turn comes from the adjective lenis, meaning “soft or mild.” The “soothing or easing” sense of lenient is still in use today, but English speakers are more likely to apply it to someone who is lax with the rules (as in “a lenient professor”), who doesn't mind when someone acts like a certain kind of fool or takes it to the limit one more time.

Today Beth records a spontaneous podcast on parenting, and shares her own personal struggles with it, as well a couple of client examples. She summarizes the parenting research on authoritative parenting and illustrates the principles using a fish tank/aquarium. In essence, parenting that is too strict and too much like a dictatorship doesn't lead to optimal outcomes for children, but permissive and overly lenient parenting doesn't either. The ideal is in the middle, but Beth admits that she's too democratic in her parenting style, and talks a little bit about how that backfires. The ideal is a balance. Beth also talks about how her own ADHD relates to having traits of a “passive parenting”, or being too permissive at times, and how this relates to deficits and executive functioning (making decisions, planning ahead, being organized, etc.). Although it's not always a parent, kids really want parents to be the captain of the ship, as long as there's not too much rigidity and excessive control.

Sunday morning sermon given by Pastor Cory Sexton on June 16, 2024

Father, by the power of your Holy Spirit, accomplish your will in us now, through your preached word, in Jesus's name, amen.This Spring I've been helping to coach four different sports teams — three baseball teams and a flag football team — and apart from having to keep up with 46 boys' names, it's been doable. The focus has not been winning. One of the things I've told the guys since the start of the season is that the amount of games you win in middle school baseball is probably not going to make a difference in your life, but the things you learn might. The emphasis has been growth and development — not mainly in skills, but in character. What matters most is not winning but it's who you are becoming — how you are learning to be.And look, that goal has been put to the test because we've not been winning. Come to find out, the character development stuff has not just been for the players, but it's been for coaches. I feel my own need to keep growing — “God is still working on me!” And that's what our passage is about this morning, Philippians 4, verses 4–7. Paul is landing the plane of this letter, and beginning in verse 4 he gives a rapid-fire list of commands connected to three character qualities. And Paul ending a letter like this is not unusual. He does it in other letters. These are the things he wants to leave with the church. He's saying: While I've still got you, before you go, take this with you — and these verses in Philippians 4 are all about these Christians being a certain kind of people, having a certain kind of character. Three qualities: joy, gentleness, and peace. We're going to look at each one of these this morning, but before we get there, we need to answer two preliminary questions?How are these qualities connected?Why do these qualities matter?1) How are these qualities connected?This is a tricky question because, at one level, we know that joy, gentleness, and peace are connected — they're all fruit of the Spirit — but we're not exactly sure how they're connected in this passage. What is Paul thinking about their relationship to one another? Now, we could meditate on this, and put our sanctified reason to work, and we might say that … Joy is most foundational. It's at the heart, down deep in our souls, and then that joy is evidenced outwardly as reasonableness and experienced inwardly as peace.We could try to make a case like that, and that is all theologically valid. But here's the thing: the grammar of this passage does not tell us that. The actual wording of these verses doesn't say anything about how these qualities are connected. And so I'm reluctant to say a lot about that, at least in a sermon. Maybe in a different setting, or in a different kind of sermon, we could ponder the connectedness more, but my aim today is to give you an exegetical sermon. That's the kind of preaching that we do at Cities Church most of the time (not all the time; we've done some topical-theological sermons in the past), but most of the time we take a book of the Bible and we walk through it bit by bit, and we try to exegete or interpret meaning from the text. The Bible says about itself that it's inspired by God — breathed out by the Holy Spirit — which means that what the Bible says is what God says. Therefore the words really matter! We should never read into the text what we want, but we need to discover what the text says, and then sit under its authority as the word of God.And when I apply that conviction to these verses, it means I'm going to explain each of the qualities as standing on their own, separate from one another, because that's the way Paul writes it. 2) Why do these qualities matter?What's the point of character anyway? Why is it important to develop character and be a certain kind of person? Well, the truth is, for some people, it's not important, but for Christians it is, and it's all got to do with that short sentence in verse 5: “The Lord is at hand.”When Paul says “the Lord” here he's talking about Jesus, and the word for “at hand” simply means “near.” Paul is saying the Lord is near. Jesus is close. Close to who? To doing what? Jesus is close to us right now in his activity and care — he has sent his Spirit here in us and among us — and he's close to the event of this return. Jesus is always involved and at work in our lives and soon he's coming back. And that is not a novel idea to Paul — but it's the dominant theme in the entire New Testament. In fact, in several places when we're commanded to live in a certain way, it's connected to the event of Jesus's return. Our behavior now is connected to the future coming of Jesus. This is like the air we breathe when we read the New Testament. For example, take what Paul says in Titus 2:11. He says that God's grace has appeared to us now, and it trains us “to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.”Take what Peter says in 1 Peter 1:13, “… set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children, do not be comforted to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct.”Take what James says in James 5:8 — even James (no offense, James), “You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand. Do not grumble against one another…”In other words, be a certain kind of person right now, church, because Jesus is about to walk through that door! He's close. He's right here, all the time. And to clarify something for us, one of the things that we like to say a lot at Cities Church is that “Jesus is real.” And when we say that, this is what we mean.When we say “Jesus is real” we're not talking about his historical reliability or anything to do with apologetics (now we could talk about that, because it's all solid and it can be helpful), but when we say Jesus is real we mean what Paul means here — the Lord is at hand. Jesus is the greatest, most all-encompassing reality in the universe. He has already changed everything about the world, and one day he's going to change it all for good, and out of all the things that we need to remember in life, THAT is the most important.Jesus is real. The Lord is at hand. He's close. That's the biggest assumption of the New Testament, and it should define us as disciples of Jesus. That's why you live a certain way now. That's why you should be a certain kind of person. We're not really interested in moral improvement for the sake of moral improvement — better ourselves to better our world — okay, fine, but that's not really the point. Instead: Be a certain kind of person now, Christian, because your Christ is about to split the sky wide open and you will see him and you will stand before him and so live right now in witness to that wonder. That's why character matters. … even more than winning. Paul exhorts us in three character qualities. Here's the first…1) Be a person of spiritual joy.This is verse 4: “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.”Paul gives the command to rejoice twice in this verse, and it's the same command he already gave in 3:1. In 3:1 he says, “Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord.” He uses the exact same words in 4:4 — and now let's recall all the other places in Philippians where Paul talks about joy, like in … 1:18, when Paul rejoices that Christ is preached even though some of the preachers have selfish motives. Or 2:2, when Paul exhorts the church to complete his joy by being united. Or 2:17–18, when Paul tells the church to share his joy because they've shared in the same ministry. Or 2:29, when he says they should welcome Epaphroditus with great joy because he almost died for the work of Christ. Or in 4:10, which we'll see later, when Paul says he rejoiced in the Lord greatly because of God's provision for him through the church. There's a lot of joy in this book! It's no wonder that commentators call Philippians the “epistle of joy.” And Philippians 4:4 is where it's most emphasized, and some of you already know this …“Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say rejoice.Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say rejoice.Rejoice, rejoice, and again I say rejoice, Rejoice, rejoice, and again I say rejoice.”Clarifying Spiritual JoyThat's Philippians 4:4. Not only does Paul say it twice, but he says to do it “always.” And that is “always” as in every circumstance. Every circumstance as in your joy is derived from something deeper than your circumstances and it overflows from those depths into whatever you have going on. That's why Paul says “rejoice in the Lord.” This is not just any kind of joy, but the Puritan Thomas Watson simply calls this “spiritual joy.” Watson says,“Spiritual joy is higher built than [that which is built] upon creatures, for [spiritual joy] is built on the love of God, on the promises, and on the blood of Christ” (271). That's why he says it's like a spring of water underground. It's possible for this joy to abound in places the world would never expect it. Because remember who Paul is talking to here. This is a small church surrounded by the encroaching forces of the world superpower. These Christians were the social underdogs. Life for them was not smooth. Their beloved apostle is writing from prison, awaiting a trial, and they could be next. Paul is not saying to rejoice in their problems. He's not saying that they should be all “Gee golly everything's okay” when everything is not okay. Paul is not suggesting head-in-the-clouds escapism. This is not the irrational denial of hardship. But to rejoice in the Lord, means that whatever the hardship is, however painful the suffering may be, Jesus is who he is; Jesus has defeated sin and the grave, and Jesus will come again — so we rejoice in him. Always in him. Spiritual joy.And this kind of character is so vital to our witness. A friend once told me that the biggest hurdle in our evangelism is that we have a lot of sad Christians trying to convert happy sinners.In on the SecretBut when we rejoice in the Lord, that's different. This is at the heart of our faith.Paul doesn't talk about joy only in this letter, he talks about joy in almost all of his letters. One New Testament scholar has called Paul the “theologian of joy” and one of the most astounding truths Paul makes clear is that God himself is a joyful God.We see this all throughout Scripture — but Paul says it plainly in 1 Timothy 1:11 — he says we've been changed by “the glorious gospel of the happy God.” All of creation is the overflow of God's happiness and our great end as God's creatures is to share in his happiness. Everything, most ultimately, is from joy in God and for joy in God. God is the source of our joy, and although now we experience this joy dimly, it is real joy from God and one day we will have its full.And when we know this it's like being in on the greatest secret of the universe. If you've ever thrown a surprise party for someone or given a surprise gift for someone, I think you'll know what I'm getting at here … I recently threw a big surprise moment for my oldest son's 13th birthday. I had his grandparents surprise him from North Carolina, and in an unusual way. I had my dad meet Micah at a certain place, completely unexpected. I had planned the whole thing so that Micah would show up at this place and my dad would already be there, to Micah's surprise. And, in the weeks and days leading up to this moment, I got more excited. Because I knew what was coming. I knew it was gonna be good, and I'll be honest, there was a kind of lightness to my step. Y'all know what I mean? I knew something good was coming, and it gave me joy.And truly that experience can be applied to the Christian life overall. Because we know the truth about God and ultimate reality … Because we know that when Paul tells us to rejoice in the Lord he's telling us to do what we're made for … because we know God's promise …No matter what, we can look to the future and say, Something good is coming.We're in on the secret, except we don't have to keep it a secret. We are headed to joy and we wanna bring people with us. And I know sometimes it doesn't feel like it. A lot times maybe. Days can be long and dark. Terrible things happen in this world. Frustrations happen in this world. But Jesus is close. Joy is coming. Like the psalmist says, “I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy!” (Psalm 43:4). In him we can rejoice.Be a person of spiritual joy. 2) Be a person of obvious gentleness.Verse 5:“Let your reasonableness be known to everyone.”The word there for “reasonableness” is also translated “gentleness.” That's the way it's translated in the handful of other places this word is used in the New Testament (1 Timothy 3:3; Titus 3:2; James 3:17; 2 Peter 3:18). The main idea of this word is to be lenient. It's the opposite of insisting on every single letter of the law — it's the opposite of strict justice; it's the opposite of being “stiff and bristly.” You're not demanding, but it's to be gracious and patient. Gentle. Lenient. A word we might use is “chill.” Or maybe even a better word to capture the idea is be flexible.And we have to be careful here because right away, we can start thinking about this as a personality trait — it seems like some people are just wired to be this way more than others — but hold on. Remember: Paul is commanding this. He's not commanding a personality trait, this is a character quality. This is a matter of the heart. It comes from the inside-out. And honestly this is one of those unassuming qualities that's easier to recognize when you see it missing. For example, you are not being reasonable/gentle/flexible … If you lose your head because Chipotle added the wrong salsa to your burrito bowl. Or if you snap at someone in the kitchen because they're in your way. Or if you immediately think of retaliation when someone crosses you. Or if you argue balls and strikes with a 14-year-old umpire in a youth baseball game.You are not reasonable/gentle/flexible when you live in a constant defensive posture, when you are easily disappointed in others, when you are overly critical about everything, and when you are quick to be the victim.Now I'm so glad that this doesn't describe us or any Christians we know — but man, don't you want to be different than that? Don't you want to be large-hearted! Magnanimous! Reasonable! Flexible!Well we're called to be that, and we're called to make it obvious to everyone. We should think of this as foundational to our witness. It's kind of like pre-evangelism. It's necessary. Before you share the good news of Jesus with someone, how about you don't shake your fist at them in traffic?Look, what I'm about to say might blow your mind, but I think we're ready for this. Here it is: You cannot treat someone like they're a moron and then tell them that God loves them and has a wonderful plan for their life.We're talking entry-level Christian living here. “Let your reasonableness be known to everyone.” Be flexible. Be a person of obvious gentleness.3) Be a person of inner peace.This comes from verses 6 and 7, and this quality is different from the others because we are not commanded to have peace, but peace is the promise if we obey the command to pray. That's the shorthand way of putting it. Look at the language in verse 6: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” This is a negative-positive command. It's a put off/put on — don't do this, but do this. And another way to say that last part is simply: Tell it to God.Don't be anxious, but in everything tell it to God — and tell him with thanksgiving, which is a fail proof to being a whiner. The best antidote to have a grumbling heart is to be mainly thankful. There are still things to pray about. There are still things you need and want God to do, but you ask God for those things in recognition of the past grace God has given you. We come to God, not with an attitude that says, “Ugh, he's never done anything for me. Here goes.” No, instead, we come to God, saying: I'm alive, right now, because of you. My heart is beating because of you. You've kept me all these years. You've always provided for me. Jesus Christ died for me. I know you love me, Father! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! And then you let God know what you want. That's the other side to not being anxious. Don't be anxious, but in everything, with thanksgiving, tell it to God.Now both sides of this negative-positive command give some insight to the other.What does prayer tell us about anxiety?Why are we anxious?We're anxious because we know we don't have the control to make things go the way we want them to. And without that control, we fear the thing will go badly. I can't make this certain thing happen, and therefore I'm anxious about it.At one level, to be anxious is to be merely human. We desire things that we ourselves cannot create. That's the human condition, and it's hard, and you can see why throughout history, humans have tried to figure this out. One alternative is to stop desiring things altogether. If wanting things and not being able to create them produces anxiety, then stop wanting things. That's Stoicism. It's indifference to reality. The thinking is that: If you care, you get hurt and disappointed, so stop caring. Be apathetic. Walk through life shrugging your shoulders.That's one pagan way to live in our humanity, but Christian, don't do that. And beware the Stoic mindset because it's out there. But the Christian way to wrestle with the human condition is to pray.Don't be anxious, but instead pray. Tell it to God. You don't have control to make things go the way you want them to, but you know the One who does have control — he is your heavenly Father and he loves you, and so ask him. Ask him. Let your requests be made known to God, and, verse 7, God will always give you exactly what you want — is that what it says?No, the result of not being anxious, but praying is that “the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”There's a question here about the peace of God. Is this God's peace, as in the peace that God has in himself? Or is this peace from God that he gives us? I take this latter view. I think this is the experience of inner peace that God gives us from himself as the God of peace.And this kind of peace is greater than human thought. That's what “surpasses all understanding” means there. And this is important because a lot of times, in our anxiety, in life, we want to figure things out. We put our minds to work and we try to do the math and we think, think, think — but the peace God gives us transcends our ability to think. It means we don't have to have it all figured out and we can still rest. We may not get the things we're asking for, but we have peace.And, as it turns out, this peace is what we've needed most all along. It's a peace that guards our hearts and minds from anxiety. We know we're gonna be okay. It's gonna be okay. Even as we keep knocking, we keep asking, we keep telling it to God. And we do that with everything. I want us, each of us, to be this kind of person. I want us to be this kind of people. When someone is carrying anxiety, it is always a fair question to ask them if they'd prayed about it. My great-grandfather used to love to sing the song, “What a Friend We Have in Jesus.” And that first stanza just nails it:“What a Friend we have in Jesus,All our sins and griefs to bear!What a privilege to carryEverything to God in prayer!O what peace we often forfeit,O what needless pain we bear,All because we do not carryEverything to God in prayer!” If you're anxious about something but you have not prayed about it, start there. And an even better way to go about this as a church, is that when we meet anxiety in one another, rather than just refer people to God, let's take people to God. This is why it's so helpful to pray with one another on the spot. It's not just so that you don't forget to pray, but it's that you're taking the thing to God right away and you're bringing you're brother or sister with you. Because Jesus is close. He's right there. Tell him about it. Be a person of abundant joy.Be a person of obvious gentleness.Be a person of inner peace.Church, however many wins we get, character matters more. Let's be this kind of people in Christ Jesus.That's what brings us to the Table.The TableThe last three words in verse 7, “in Christ Jesus,” puts everything in perspective. The character we've been talking about is blood-bought. We don't become this kind of people in order to earn God's love, but this is because of God's love. God has shown his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us! And his goal is to make us like Christ. He's still working on me.

Is it fair to give more lenient sentences to people who grew up in poverty?Plus, comedian Matt Forde takes your calls!

The sentencing of Heather Anderson, 36, has reignited outrage over the brutal murder of Shelley Stamp, 34, nearly two years ago in her Connecticut home. Anderson, who admitted to the crime, was sentenced to 25 to 30 years in prison by New Haven Superior Court Judge Joseph B. Schwartz. However, Stamp's grieving family has condemned the sentence as insufficient for the heinous crime committed. The family discovered Stamp's body after not hearing from her and decided to stop by her apartment in Waterbury. That's where they found her dead inside her home in a pool of blood, having been beaten and strangled with her own jacket during a home invasion, allegedly in pursuit of money for drugs. Anderson, who entered an Alford plea to one count of felony murder, will serve her time in a state correctional facility. During the sentencing hearing, Stamp's mother and sister delivered emotional victim impact statements, expressing profound grief and anger towards Anderson. Laura Tajildeen, Stamp's sister, directed powerful words at Anderson, condemning her actions and wishing a lifetime of remorse upon her. “I hope the look on my sister's face, the cries of help as you brutally attacked her, haunts you for the rest of your life. I hope you rot in your prison cell for the rest of your miserable life, and you dwell on the choices that you've made, and they haunt you for every minute of every day, because you deserve no happiness and no mercy from the court as you had none for my sister.” Stamp's mother, Kathy Daversa, expressed deep disappointment with the sentence, asserting that justice had not been served for her daughter's senseless killing. “25 to 30 years is not justice for the brutal and heinous murder of a vivacious, caring, loving, young woman in the prime of her life,” Daversa said. “She must have been so scared. What a horrible way to die. Looking up at a stranger's face full of rage, in desperate need of money to supply your disgusting drug habit. I picture her horrific death in my mind over and over again. No one can imagine picturing your daughter's vicious murder obsessively.” In response, Anderson offered an apology to Stamp's family, expressing regret for the tragic outcome of her actions. However, Judge Schwartz criticized the severity of the crime, denouncing it as a "particularly troubling murder" driven by a callous pursuit of drugs. “I agree with the state, it was done for peanuts. For nothing but a few bucks to buy drugs. It is unforgivable. It leaves me at a loss for words,” Schwartz said. “When you murder somebody, you don't just murder the complainant. In a lot of ways, you murder their entire family. Not only have you changed them forever, you have stolen all kinds of memories and the future that they were supposed to have together.” The details of Stamp's murder, revealed during the investigation, showcased the brutality of the crime. Anderson, along with another woman, Shannon Gritzbach, allegedly targeted Stamp's apartment in search of money. Anderson reportedly sought out a man she believed could provide her with money. This individual had previously resided in the same apartment as Stamp but had relocated to another unit within the building. Surveillance footage captured Anderson's failed attempts to enter the apartment before ultimately confronting Stamp upon her return home. Despite Anderson's admission of throwing Stamp to the ground and stealing from her apartment, including cash and credit cards, she denied tying the jacket around Stamp's head. Police discovered Stamp's belongings in Anderson's possession upon her arrest. While Gritzbach faced initial charges in connection with Stamp's death, she was later released on misdemeanor charges. However, her failure to appear in court has resulted in an ongoing search for her arrest. The Stamp family is now advocating for harsher sentences for these types of violent crimes. “It's because the sentences are not strict enough. The criminals are not afraid to commit the crimes. That's the problem,” she added. “There's absolutely no justice in 30 years. It's an insult to my daughter's life. It's an absolute slap in the face to my daughter that the brutal murder just got 30 years.” Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

I hope you rot in your prison cell for the rest of your miserable life, and you dwell on the choices that you've made, and they haunt you for every minute of every day, because you deserve no happiness and no mercy from the court as you had none for my sister.” Stamp's mother, Kathy Daversa, expressed deep disappointment with the sentence, asserting that justice had not been served for her daughter's senseless killing. “25 to 30 years is not justice for the brutal and heinous murder of a vivacious, caring, loving, young woman in the prime of her life,” Daversa said. “She must have been so scared. What a horrible way to die. Looking up at a stranger's face full of rage, in desperate need of money to supply your disgusting drug habit. I picture her horrific death in my mind over and over again. No one can imagine picturing your daughter's vicious murder obsessively.” In response, Anderson offered an apology to Stamp's family, expressing regret for the tragic outcome of her actions. However, Judge Schwartz criticized the severity of the crime, denouncing it as a "particularly troubling murder" driven by a callous pursuit of drugs. “I agree with the state, it was done for peanuts. For nothing but a few bucks to buy drugs. It is unforgivable. It leaves me at a loss for words,” Schwartz said. “When you murder somebody, you don't just murder the complainant. In a lot of ways, you murder their entire family. Not only have you changed them forever, you have stolen all kinds of memories and the future that they were supposed to have together.” The details of Stamp's murder, revealed during the investigation, showcased the brutality of the crime. Anderson, along with another woman, Shannon Gritzbach, allegedly targeted Stamp's apartment in search of money. Anderson reportedly sought out a man she believed could provide her with money. This individual had previously resided in the same apartment as Stamp but had relocated to another unit within the building. Surveillance footage captured Anderson's failed attempts to enter the apartment before ultimately confronting Stamp upon her return home. Despite Anderson's admission of throwing Stamp to the ground and stealing from her apartment, including cash and credit cards, she denied tying the jacket around Stamp's head. Police discovered Stamp's belongings in Anderson's possession upon her arrest. While Gritzbach faced initial charges in connection with Stamp's death, she was later released on misdemeanor charges. However, her failure to appear in court has resulted in an ongoing search for her arrest. The Stamp family is now advocating for harsher sentences for these types of violent crimes. “It's because the sentences are not strict enough. The criminals are not afraid to commit the crimes. That's the problem,” she added. “There's absolutely no justice in 30 years. It's an insult to my daughter's life. It's an absolute slap in the face to my daughter that the brutal murder just got 30 years.” Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

This Day in Legal History: Reichstag Fire DecreeOn February 28, 1933, a pivotal moment in German legal history unfolded with the issuance of the Presidential Decree for the Protection of People and State by President Paul von Hindenburg. This decree emerged in the immediate aftermath of the Reichstag Fire, a calamitous event where the German Parliament building was engulfed in flames. Dubbed the Reichstag Fire Decree, this legislation marked a significant departure from established legal norms by suspending several fundamental civil liberties, including freedoms related to the press, the right to habeas corpus, and the protocols surrounding the issuance of search warrants. The Nazi party, leveraging the chaos and fear generated by the fire, attributed the act of arson to Communist agitators, a move that facilitated the rapid enactment of the decree. This legislative action, pushed forward by the then Chancellor Adolf Hitler, was not merely a response to a singular event but a calculated strategy towards consolidating absolute power. The Reichstag Fire Decree, therefore, stands as a stark reminder of how quickly legal frameworks can be altered in times of perceived crisis, leading to profound and lasting impacts on the structure of a nation's governance. It underscored the fragility of civil liberties under authoritarian pressures and served as a critical step in the Nazi party's quest to dismantle the democratic fabric of Germany, setting the stage for the oppressive and murderous regime that would follow.Sam Bankman-Fried, the co-founder of FTX, has been proposed by his legal team to serve no more than 6 1/2 years in prison for his role in the cryptocurrency exchange's collapse, significantly less than the potential 20-year sentence for the most severe charges. His attorneys, in a detailed memo to US District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan, emphasized Bankman-Fried's charitable contributions and argued for a sentence that would quickly reintegrate him into society, suggesting a range of 63 to 78 months as just. They also argued against ordering Bankman-Fried to pay restitution or forfeit assets, noting that identified accounts weren't for his personal benefit and that FTX's bankruptcy process would compensate customers and creditors. Convicted of charges including wire fraud and conspiracy, the case against Bankman-Fried could set a precedent for other cryptocurrency executives. His legal team criticized the US probation officials' recommendation of a 100-year sentence as excessive. The defense has included letters of support and mentioned Bankman-Fried's mental health challenges, including an undiagnosed autism and struggles with ADHD, to argue against a harsh sentence that could endanger him in prison due to his difficulty with social cues. Despite the contentious relationship with Judge Kaplan and significant setbacks, Bankman-Fried's ultimate sentence, guided by federal sentencing guidelines, remains to be determined, with Kaplan's past caution on guideline adherence potentially influencing the outcome.Sam Bankman-Fried Proposes Sentence of 6 1/2 Years or Less (2)Sam Bankman-Fried urges lenient sentence, citing FTX fund recovery | ReutersHunter Biden, the son of U.S. President Joe Biden, is set to testify in a closed-door session as part of the House Republicans' impeachment inquiry into his father. This development follows months of requests from House Republicans for his testimony, which Hunter initially resisted. The inquiry focuses on allegations surrounding the Biden family's business dealings, particularly Hunter's involvement with Chinese firm CEFC and Ukrainian energy company Burisma, during Joe Biden's vice presidency under the Obama administration. Despite accusations from House Republicans that the Biden family profited improperly from policy decisions, no concrete evidence has been presented to support these claims, with both Hunter Biden and the White House denying any wrongdoing. The inquiry proceeds despite the charging of a former FBI informant, central to the Republicans' case, with lying to the FBI and having connections with Russian intelligence. Amidst these events, Donald Trump, eyeing a presidential run against Biden, has encouraged the impeachment. The credibility of the impeachment inquiry has been questioned, especially after revelations about the informant's credibility and interactions with Russian intelligence. Hunter Biden also faces separate legal challenges, including charges related to tax fraud and illegal firearm possession, to which he has pleaded not guilty. This testimony occurs amidst broader political dynamics, including public calls by some Republicans for broader impeachment actions against Biden and other officials, and ongoing legal and political controversies surrounding the Biden family.Hunter Biden to testify to Republicans' impeachment probe | ReutersThe State Bar of California has adopted a budget for 2024 that prevents insolvency for the year but has highlighted the need for a significant increase in attorney licensing fees in 2025 to counter a growing budget shortfall. California lawyers are facing a proposed additional fee of $114 on top of the existing $404 annual fee to cover an expected $24 million deficit in the state bar's core operations. This increase is also intended to fund improvements in technology, add personnel for investigating complaints about attorneys, and enhance oversight of client trust accounts, among other needs. Despite the urgency, state lawmakers last year did not approve a requested fee increase, leaving the organization in a precarious financial situation. The State Bar's financial challenges include a need for almost $17 million to update its IT systems and additional funds for increasing staff to manage attorney complaints effectively. The organization managed to stay afloat in 2024 by using proceeds from the sale of its San Francisco building but faces insolvency by 2025 without the proposed fee hike. The situation underscores the need for a "financial reset," as emphasized by the board chair, to ensure the state bar can continue to fulfill its regulatory and oversight functions effectively.Calif. Bar eyes hefty dues increase for lawyers to stave off insolvency | ReutersIn my column this week, I explore the critical role of tourism tax in mitigating the regional effects of climate change, highlighting how such taxes, like those proposed in Hawaii, Italy, and Bali, aim to balance the economic benefits of tourism with environmental sustainability and social equity. I discuss the disproportionate impact of climate change on the global poor and argue that a well-designed tourist tax could serve as a model for protecting vulnerable populations and the environment. By expanding the scope of tax policy to include socioeconomic considerations, such as providing universal basic income or housing subsidies for residents of tourist destinations, we can address the intertwined challenges of climate change, poverty, and inequality. The implementation of these policies requires transparent and efficient allocation of tourism tax revenue, with a focus on supporting the most vulnerable communities and ensuring that tourism dollars contribute to genuine social improvement rather than exacerbating wealth disparities. I advocate for an adaptive policy framework that allows for ongoing evaluation and reallocation of resources, emphasizing the importance of cross-jurisdictional cooperation and a global approach to tourism taxation that prioritizes inclusivity and community-focused decision-making. This approach not only aims to reduce the negative impacts of tourism on the environment but also leverages tax policy as a tool for promoting social equity and resilience in the face of climate change.Tourism Tax Is Crucial to Tamp Regional Effects of Climate Change Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

With the case currently unfolding in Ohio, poaching has become a major conversation in the hunting world. Each year thousands of hunter across the U.S. lose opportunities to harvest incredible animals due to poachers. Many cases come across Fish and Game Departments each year and will continue to do so. The majority of states sentence poachers with heavy fines that can range upwards of $30,000. The real question is, can this truly be enough to deter individuals from poaching again. How many of the cases are resulting in fines and how many poachers are actually getting caught? We wanted to dive into our own experience on the matter and the information from the Ohio case to give our opinions on the repercussions of poaching chargers. From how social media has impacted poaching to discussing alternative sentences for the crime. We want know what you think!

Crime is on the rise, and Americans in cities all across the nation are increasingly concerned for the safety of themselves and their families. Yet, in this environment, the Washington, D.C. council seeks to lessen penalties for criminals. So this week on CURE America with Star Parker, we hear from folks on the street in our nation's capital on the experiences and concerns they have with crime as D.C. residents. Patrick Mara, Chairman of the D.C. Republican Committee is on the show to share insight on what's going on and just how far left the city council has become. Tom McClusky, Director of Government Relations at CatholicVote, shares his personal experience of the crime and attacks that the Southern Poverty Law Center has inspired against conservatives.

Is God more gracious in the New Testament than the Old? Some would say God has changed since we live in a new era, no longer under the law. Pastor Lutzer distinguishes three changes from the Hebrew Testament to the New Testament. Even today, we must turn to Jesus—the One who saves us from the wrath to come.

In Romans 2 Paul has laid a trap for anyone who thinks that the list of sins in chapter 1 isn't about them–reality is we are ALL on the hook for our choices & sin against God. Paul is attempting to deepen our understanding & experience of God's Gospel which is what unites all of us out of our sin and into Him! In 2:12-16 he continues to develop the essential truth that God is not lenient, but He is undeniably fair & unmistakably firm in His judgment of everyone.

When you cut out the mortgage its much higher 12-20% in some cases more than that if the operator is exceptional Be contrarian sometimes, if you go where its hot right now…well the opportunities have probably dried up and the hotness is reflected in abnormally high property prices, lots of building activity, and saturation in the rental marketYour lifestyle is huge, like if there is somewhere you NEVER want to be…yeah do not suggest renting there.

I like eating 2 meals a day but after listening to book I'm trying to increase my protein to 180 to 200 grams a day. I'm 6'1 210 lbs. Is it beneficial to eat 90 grams in each meal or is that two much for my body to process correctly for optimal absorption? Should I spread it out? Thanks 2. Putative blood flow issues [15:40] Charles says: Hi Robb and Nicki, long-time listener here. I have been following Robb since I was 18, almost ten years ago! Thank you for your work. Background: 6 feet tall, male, 142 lbs, 28 years old. Lenient paleo diet for almost 10 years supplemented with 0.5-1 packet LMNT daily depending on weather/exercise load, generally great sleep hygiene, devote a lot of effort to getting in the sun every day, weights 2x/week, 45 min bike ride at least 2x/week. Recent blood work came back excellent (just the standard LDL, HDL, Hem A1C, Vit D, thyroid stimulating hormone, hepatic enzymes). I do seem to have issues with circulation though, which I think may be related to the problem I describe below. My extremities go numb easily, and when it's cold I have a few finger tips that lose color/sensitivity for extended periods of time after the others have returned to normal temperature. The problem: My erections have decreased in strength noticeably in the past two years. The problem usually isn't so severe that it prevents sex (though a few times it has), but it certainly decreases its quality for both parties involved on a regular basis. Potentially relevant circumstances surrounding the problem: A little over two years ago (when the problem began) I ended a bad relationship, started a new **amazing** one, moved twice, had a very bad car accident, had a very bad cycling accident, lost my grandmother, helped my mother through a traumatic incident, etc. I'd like to point out that this was Winter-Summer 2020, need I say more? It was a whirlwind of a year. I dealt with it in healthy ways (amping up the exercise and protein consumption) and unhealthy ways (picking up a 1-2 drinks before dinner habit that I've since decreased to just on weekends; this decrease happened 6 months ago). Should I talk to a therapist instead of sending this in to a podcast? Probably, but why not both? I'm hoping you and Nicki might be able to connect some dots I haven't. 3. Functional Dyspepsia [21:36] Cristi says: I love your show and the dynamics between the two of you. I'd love to join "the rebellion" when I can afford it. What do we know in natural health about "functional dyspepsia?" I just had an upper endoscopy to diagnose the cause of a burning sensation in my stomach just under my right ribcage usually right after eating/while eating that seems to respond to an amount of food rather than any particular food. Before this, the gastro had me do a stool test that was negative for H. Pylori. They took biopsies during the upper endo, but the doctor says he doesn't expect to find anything. He said he saw irritation in the stomach lining and it was probably caused by "functional dyspepsia" which was an imbalance of acid in the stomach. He said the causes of this could be different things, including stress (which I admittedly have a lot of, but I do what I can to control it) and that otherwise, causes were unknown, but that I could just take Pepsid! How long? Oh, maybe forever...Needless to say, I'm not doing that. SO, if all I know is that the acid is "imbalanced," how do I balance it? At the risk of making this too much longer, my diet, exercise, and supplement regimen are all along the lines of what paleo-centric gurus recommend, so none of the other causes of this "disfunction" (NSAID use, fried/unhealthy fat foods, alcohol excess) make sense. I'm not celiac, but I don't eat gluten and dairy because they just don't feel great. I'm thinking of continuing to take probiotics and add a functional medicine supplement with aloe, licorice root, marshmallow root, NAD etc. to maybe calm the irritation? My only other thought is that maybe I've been taking too much of a natural allergy supplement that has quercitin (400 mg per two pills) -3 pills twice a day-but I doubt that's it, and after stopping it for five days before this procedure as they required, I really noticed my allergies kicking in. The problem is, I'm 5'5, 118-120, and closer to 118 with what I'm able to eat without feeling discomfort. I have to stop before I'm satisfied completely. I wake up at night hungry, and I can't go back to sleep, and I know 118 is too light for me. I weight train 3X per week, and I'm active all of the other days. I'm a highschool teacher, so I'm not really sedentary, either. I'm pretty low carb with starchy carbs (about a cup of sweet potato or rice) only included at dinner.
