Being Called "Political" For Supporting the Family Proclamation Alive and Intelligent Substack - https://aliveandintelligent.substack.com Wavemakers Podcaster Cruise - https://www.cwicmedia.com/wavemakers If a member supports the Family Proclamation, are they being political? Is the Proclamation political? It was not produced in a vacuum. It was created in a highly political environment that has only intensified over the last 30 Years. It is prophetic and based on unchanging, Eternal laws. The 30th Anniversary of the Family Proclamation is something to celebrate, and that is what the Church is doing.  Website - www.cwicmedia.com 

Questions about leaving a church with biblical theology because they refuse to preach on divisive topics, whether it's okay to write an apologetics book under a pen name out of fear of repercussions, and how to reconcile Romans 13:1–5 with rulers who are unjust.   Should I leave a church that has solid biblical theology but refuses to preach on divisive topics (LGBTQ, abortion, anything political, homosexuality, immigration, etc.) because they want to introduce those topics once the person is “comfortable”? As someone who works in the public sector in Canada, where speech is heavily policed, am I wrong to write my apologetics book under a pen name to protect my identity and family out of fear of repercussions? How do you reconcile Romans 13:1–5, which tells us not to resist authority, with rulers who are unjust?

What happens when your Christian convictions collide with today's cultural realities? How do you love people while staying true to biblical principles? And what do you do when you're too exhausted from ministry to actually live out your faith? Marc and Fuller tackle some of the hardest questions facing Christians today while driving to a wedding in Peru, Indiana. From the RTC Facebook group, listeners asked about everything from spiritual armor to same-sex weddings to passing faith down to the next generation. You'll hear Marc explain why the "belt of truth" keeps your pants up (literally and spiritually), while Fuller admits he's still working on that whole "gospel of peace" thing. They dive deep into the messy reality of LGBTQ wedding invitations - should you go or not? Marc shares a personal story about drawing loving boundaries, while Fuller wrestles with the ministry implications of saying yes or no. But maybe the most honest moment comes when they open up about their current faith struggles. Marc's trying to figure out how to raise kids who own their faith instead of just inheriting it. Fuller's battling the exhaustion that comes with being an elder - turns out spiritual leadership can actually make your faith harder, not easier. No easy answers here, just two dudes being real about the complicated business of living out biblical convictions in 2025. Join the conversation and see if you relate to their struggles. Recorded on the road - because sometimes the best conversations happen between destinations. ––– Learn more about RTC online at https://realtalkchristianpodcast.com/

Actually, it is NOT complicated, or confusing, or nuanced. It is really simple. The Bible IS clear: There is NO condemnation against people who are LGBTQ+ or against same-sex relationships. You are NOT the ones who need to defend your beliefs. The non-affirming church is. They ignore the truth of Scripture, and they ignore the devastating, deadly impact of their false teachings.  In this encore presentation of one of our most popular episodes, we give you a clear, simple explanation of why the Bible does NOT condemnation homosexuality.  Send us a private message. *Note: INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS if you'd like us to answer. :-) Support the show

Matt Alexander, a former teacher in Ontario, Canada, was employed by the Renfrew County District School Board (RCDSB) for over 20 years, teaching grades 7 and 8. In 2023, he was suspended and later terminated, allegedly for not supporting or celebrating LGBTQ+ initiatives, despite having no public social media presence and an unblemished disciplinary record. His troubles began after his son, Josh Alexander, publicly opposed his school's policy on transgender students using girls' washrooms. Matt, a devout Christian, pastor, and army reserve veteran, faced financial devastation, including the loss of his family home and pension, forcing him to retrain for a new career. He and his wife, Nicole Alexander, also a teacher who faced similar consequences, have filed a human rights complaint against the RCDSB for religious discrimination and a labor complaint against their union for failing to defend their Charter-protected freedoms.To watch the Full Cornerstone Forum: https://open.substack.com/pub/shaunnewmanpodcastGet your voice heard: Text Shaun 587-217-8500Silver Gold Bull Links:Website: https://silvergoldbull.ca/Email: SNP@silvergoldbull.comText Grahame: (587) 441-9100Bow Valley Credit UnionBitcoin: www.bowvalleycu.com/en/personal/investing-wealth/bitcoin-gatewayEmail: welcome@BowValleycu.com Use the code “SNP” on all ordersProphet River Links:Website: store.prophetriver.com/Email: SNP@prophetriver.comExpat Money SummitWebsite: ExpatMoneySummit.com

How and why did public opinions about gay marriage shift? In his new book, The Gay Marriage Generation: How the LGBTQ Movement Transformed American Culture (New York University Press, 2018), Peter Hart-Brinson explores this question and more through public opinion data and interviews with two generations of Americans. By using these mixed methods of analysis, Hart-Brinson dissects generational change of attitudes toward gay marriage through interpretive, historical, and demographic analyses. This book contributes to the literature by building upon previous work and moving the discussion of generational change and attitudes forward. Concepts that are important for the book include differences between orientation and attraction, a difference in how the two generations Hart-Brinson interviewed speak about gay marriage. This book is accessible to a wide audience and will be of interest to family and public opinion scholars, as well as anyone interested in public attitudes or gay marriage specifically. This book would be a great addition to any graduate level course on families, as it gives a solid background of the history of the LGBTQ movement as well as attitudes shifts toward gay marriage.

  Artist and author Maurice Sendak was able to achieve significant and enduring success in art and children's literature during his lifetime. But what secrets did he had to keep from his family, publishers, parents, librarians, and readers as a gay, Jewish man negotiating the field of children's literature?   Sendak wrote and illustrated books that nurtured children and adults alike. Winner of the 1964 Caldecott Medal for Where the Wild Things Are, in 1970 Sendak became the first American illustrator to receive the international Hans Christian Anderson Award, given in recognition of his entire body of work. Sendak's work has been the subject of several extensive retrospective art shows at prestigious museums across the country.

This Isn't Therapy... it's the episode about one of the things that robs kids of a care-free childhood: being parentified. When kids are forced to grow up too soon and become adults in childhood, kids can take on adult-like responsibilities and burdens. In this episode, we talk about the difference between healthy responsibility for kids and parentification and talk about the impact of having childhood stolen from us and being burdened before we're developmentally ready.Article: Were you a ‘parentified child'?

Vuch returns to a now empty High School to meet up with some of the guys. As he changes in the regular boy's locker room, his mind wanders back to he and his teammates having the much nicer football locker room. It is closed to him and his friends now.  As he heads into the weight room, he is greeted by grunting sounds as he starts to participate in the monster weight that Meat, his half-brother, is bench pressing. Vuch's mind reflects on how he came to know that his family now had an additional member, and the tragedy that put it all in motion. 

Since January, the United States' migrant detention and deportation system, which was already troubled, has become increasingly opaque. Access to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities is restricted, internal oversight agencies have been hollowed out, and credible information about conditions inside is scarce. Yet reports that have emerged, some from those who have recently been deported, tell a troubling story echoing the darkest moments of recent U.S. immigration history. In late July and early August, researchers from WOLA and the Women's Refugee Commission (WRC) set out to pierce this “black box” by visiting cities in Honduras, Guatemala, and Mexico that are key deportation hubs. There, they interviewed deported migrants, service providers, advocates, experts, and government officials to learn what they are hearing about conditions in U.S. detention. The findings are disturbing. They point to a resurgence of family separations, cruel treatment, miserable, unhealthy conditions, and deportation processes that violate migrants' rights and dignity. With transparency mechanisms dismantled, these abuses are happening out of public view. In this episode, host Adam Isacson talks with two colleagues from WRC with whom he traveled: Zain Lakhani, WRC's director of Migrant Rights and Justice. Diana Flórez, a consultant to WRC, an attorney and expert on gender, transitional justice, development, and peacebuilding. During their travels, Isacson, Lakhani, and Flórez shared photos and initial findings in four “dispatches” published to our organizations' websites, from Honduras, Guatemala, Tapachula, and Ciudad Juárez. We heard consistent accounts of: Family separations: A larger number than expected of parents deported without U.S. citizen children, often without being given the choice of being removed with them. The crisis is approaching the scale of the “zero tolerance” family separations that shocked the nation in 2018. Inhumane conditions: Overcrowded cells, lack of medical care, and verbal and physical abuse by guards. Threats to the health of pregnant and lactating women and their children: Insufficient and poor-quality food, difficulty in obtaining medical attention, and even being forced to sleep on floors. (The podcast refers to a July 30 report on abuse in detention, especially of pregnant women and children, by the office of Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Georgia).) Targeting of vulnerable populations: Harassment of LGBTQ+ individuals, especially trans individuals who are now detained with the gender to which they were assigned at birth. As Lakhani notes, “Historically… we were able to enter detention centers and visit them and speak with migrants,” but “now we're seeing the deliberate creation of a black box.” We hope that the WOLA–WRC delegation's findings will guide future, more intensive on-the-ground research enabling advocates to refer egregious abuses requiring legal action, build a rigorous archive of known cases, and inform public opinion and policymakers.  

In this week's LGBTQ headlines: • The Air Force has reversed on an option for transgender military service members to take early retirement, opting instead to force them out with no retirement benefits • The U.S. Supreme Court has been formally asked to reconsider its 2015 ruling that made same-sex marriage legal nationwide • The enchanting new web series 'The Nature Of Us' follows two young people fresh out of high school, looking for a sign to lead them to what comes next.

What does and does not work when talking to evangelical Christians about LGBTQ issues? It can certainly be tough and frustrating. We are dealing with patriarchal, moral-majority driven false teaching. All taught with God's name attached to it – and grave consequences if you don't just fall in line. But we, like a growing number of people, were surprised when we opened that box we had God in. In this encore presentation, we talk about truly effective ways to change the hearts and minds of non-affirming Christians.Send us a private message. *Note: INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS if you'd like us to answer. :-) Support the show

On the Mad in America podcast this week, we explore the importance of raising awareness of psychological approaches that challenge mainstream perspectives. Joining us today are three people who are practising clinical psychologists and who have written for Mad in America. Zenobia Morrill is a critical-liberation psychologist and psychology professor who received her doctorate from the University of Massachusetts, Boston. Her research interests include critical and liberation psychology, the psychotherapy process, and wider conceptual and ethical issues in psychology and psychiatry. José Giovanni Luiggi-Hernández is a clinical psychologist in private practice, a qualitative researcher at the University of Pittsburgh, a writer for Mad in America and part of the recently launched Mad in Puerto Rico website. His interests include understanding the lived experiences of colonized people using phenomenological, psychoanalytic, and decolonial frameworks, LGBTQ issues and psychotherapy for physical health concerns. Also joining us is Mad in America's lead research news editor, Justin Karter. A graduate in both psychology and journalism, Justin's research and writing span topics in the philosophy of psychology, critical psychology, MAD studies, cross-cultural psychology, qualitative methods, and theories of counselling and psychotherapy. In this conversation, we discuss the possibilities opened up by adopting a critical mindset, identify some of the barriers to working in such a way, and share some key resources to help aspiring psychologists explore alternative approaches.

As more drivers have traversed Texas roads over the past decade, they've become more dangerous. Despite an 8% decline in year-over-year Texas traffic fatalities since 2021, road deaths have risen 18% overall in the last decade, resulting in nearly $165 billion in economic and “quality of life” costs last year. In other news, Texas public schools will navigate a slate of new state laws this school year. State legislators passed hundreds of new laws related to education this year, from a ban on cellphones in schools to a ban on school-sponsored LGBTQ clubs; investors are coming back to the real estate market, reversing a slowdown over the past few years. Market conditions saw significant recuperation in the first half of 2025; and for about five years, McKinney has toyed with a plan to build its own version of Klyde Warren Park on State Highway 5, a project that had been backed by $15 million in federal funding intended to restitch communities ripped apart by highways.

In his new book Coming Clean, Eric Heinze rejects the idea that we should be less woke. In fact, we need more wokeness, but of a new kind. Yes, we must teach about classism, racism, colonialism, patriarchy, and other gross injustices, but we must also educate the public about the left's own support for regimes that damaged and destroyed millions of lives for over a century—Stalin in the Soviet Union, Mao Zedong in China, Pol Pot in Cambodia, or the Kim dynasty in North Korea. Criticisms of Western wrongdoing are certainly important, yet Heinze explains that most on the political left have rarely engaged in the kinds of open and public self-scrutiny that they demand from others. Citing examples as different as the Ukraine war, LGBTQ+ people in Cuba, the concept of “hatred,” and the problem of leftwing antisemitism, Heinze explains why and how the left must change its memory politics if it is to claim any ethical high ground. Eric Heinze is Professor of Law and Humanities at Queen Mary University of London. He is the author of The Most Human Right: Why Free Speech is Everything (MIT Press), among other books, and has published over 100 articles and has been featured in radio and television and other media around the world. His new book is Coming Clean: The Rise of Critical Theory and the Future of the Left.

Conservative groups say the Washington State Fair is trying to exclude them from this year's festivities. Seattle sends yet another business tax increase to voters. Washington state gives preferential treatment to LGBTQ+ businesses. Ice cream social, anyone? Democrats called out for gerrymandering hypocrisy.

In a stunning display of religious overreach and intellectual cowardice, Baylor University shamefully rejected a $643,000 research grant intended to study LGBTQ+ experiences in religious spaces. This isn't just about lost funding; it's a clear message that appeasing conservative fundamentalists and their bigoted donors trumps academic freedom, scientific inquiry, and basic human dignity. The university's fear of uncovering uncomfortable truths about its own marginalized students and faculty is a stark illustration of how dogma silences facts, prioritizing comfort over compassion. It's a classic playbook move: preserving antiquated beliefs, even if it means actively harming the very people they claim to serve. A truly pathetic and hypocritical stance for an institution of 'higher learning'.News Source:Baylor University rejects 643,401 LGBTQ research grant after conservative backlashBy Hemant Mehta for The Friendly AtheistJuly 17, 2025
