National Polygamy Advocate ™ Mark Henkel appeared on Pat Robertson's show, "The 700 Club," on the Christian Broadcasting Network, CBN, on August 16, 2005. For history archiving purposes, Mark Henkel's taped appearance on this specific segment helped "made history." Namely, for the first time in history, a renowned Christian organization (The 700 Club), as led by a worldwide-known Christian leader (Pat Robertson), had publicly acknowledged "Christian Polygamy" as "evangelical Christians" on TV and even said the exact words of "Christian Polygamy" and "Christian polygamists." The two words "Christian" and "Polygamy" were no longer a supposed "contradiction in terms." History had been made indeed. For this segment, Mark Henkel had been previously "interviewed on tape" by a professional woman named Kim Bonney. To hear her lengthy interview with Mark Henkel, listeners will want to hear Episode 99 of this podcast, posted February 5, 2020. The final segment that aired on August 16, 2006 (despite a number of times being "bumped" from previously scheduled dates to air) was instead reported by David Brody. The scope of this segment unfortunately intended to scare its major Christian audience with the notion that the then-growing efforts to legalize same sex marriage would supposedly result in legalized group marriage, polyamory, and polygamy too. The premise - and especially the early part of the segment - initially focused more on salacious notions pertaining to group marriage and polyamory in order to indeed "scare" the network's Christian audience. The report included statements from many then-big names such as Stanley Kurtz ("conservative" lecturer and pundit), Maggie Gallagher (president of the Institute for Marriage and Public Policy), and David Frum (albeit famous among conservatives as a "faux conservative") - all to speak against such supposed "changes to marriage." Contrary to their opinions, the report also included statements from Elizabeth Emens (former University of Chicago Law School Professor), an unnamed then-President of the American Civil Liberties Union (claiming that the ACLU would "defend polygamy" – which never really happened as the ACLU ultimately remained silent regarding polygamy in the following decade to come), Robin Trask (editor for the polyamory magazine, Loving More), and of course, the one and only advocate for actual polygamy on the segment, Mark Henkel (Founder of the TruthBearer.org Organization for Christian Polygamy). As the concluding voice to make the final argument for polygamy, Mark Henkel was able to make a number of quick yet important soundbites in the segment, including his "circular argument of law and sin" soundbite. Most importantly, the reporter, in the end, genuinely treated the concept of Christian Polygamy itself separately yet surprisingly fairly. The reporter kindly and accurately introduced Mark Henkel with the following QUOTE that made history: "Polygamy has a range of defenders including some evangelical Christians. Mark Henkel is the founder of the Christian Polygamy organization, TruthBearer. Christian polygamists believe husbands are called to love their wives as Christ loves the churches." That introduction is repeated and looped a couple of times at the end of this podcast to demonstrate its profound history-making significance. Yes, with this segment, history had been made on August 16, 2005. http://www.NationalPolygamyAdvocate.com --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/nationalpolygamyadvocate/support

When this episode goes live, I'll be in the middle of my longest “unplugged” vacation yet. Unplugged for me means not traveling with a laptop or having to work more than a few check-ins here & there. While I do keep an eye on emails, I don't feel the need to respond to anything that is not urgent. Other than checking in with my team occasionally, I don't have any obligations other than enjoying time with my family, resting, reading, and giving my mind space to freely think without an agenda. So, I suppose it's not 100 percent unplugged, but I don't really strive to have zero digital connection, more to limit any unnecessary connection. It has taken me 8 years to take a 10-day unplugged vacation and I truly think I could have done it a lot sooner, but I was missing one crucial element: the absolute desire to just do it! If I'm honest with myself, my ego and false belief that I “needed” to be working and my desire to be in control and constantly striving were probably holding me back most. Another element that needed to change was my personal digital attachment. What good is unplugging from work only to mindlessly scroll Instagram or refresh my apps multiple times an hour? I didn't want the temptation to get ahead on work or to get too productive, so I deleted the apps off my phone & left my computer behind. In today's episode, I'm sharing three books that have helped me recognize my unhealthy habits and detox from social media (even when I was kidding myself that it was “all for work”), over-working, and under-resting! I also talk a bit about how I'm managing to still stay visible online without doing much personal social media, including how I utilize a “social media phone” and have limited batched times when I go online. I am always searching for ways to create more ease and freedom while juggling motherhood and business. What better time than a vacation to put some of these mindful strategies to the test? Be sure to check back as I'll share next week more about what worked and what didn't as I venture into this digital minimalism journey.

For those who follow Jesus, this is foundational to who we are, this is a mark of who we are, it's a corner stone of our faith commitment. Meaning Jesus would tell us on more than one occasion, that it's one of the two great commandments, love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, love our neighbor as ourselves. And therefore, if a Christian's not doing it better than anybody else, something’s wrong. It's why I think we need to do this series because it kinda helps spell out for us who we are, what we're about, what our purpose is, about and what it is we need to be doing. What's the most important commandment what's the thing we're supposed to do? In at all three cases, Matthew-Mark-Luke-Jesus would say, "Love the Lord your God, love your neighbor, as yourself.” But he didn't just stop there, this is also kind of made some extra twists to it, to make it known that it was really important. So when we get to the Gospel of Matthew for instance, Jesus would be encountered by an expert in the law, and He would say, What's the greatest commandment Jesus would tell them what the greatest commandments were and he would say, At the end of that Matthew 22... 40 on these Hang all of the law, everything, it's the whole kit and kaboodle. And so we've got to recognize that this is really important that if the great commandments are love God and love neighbor. And all the law, everything else that ever was written in the Old Testament. It hangs on these two things. It’s pretty important, right? Get to the Gospel of Mark and the guy comes and approach a Jesus and says, "Hey what's the greatest commandment?” Jesus does a typical thing he asks him a question, the guy spouts them off "Love God, love neighbor,” and he says, Man, that must be true. In fact, what I've realized the guy says to Jesus is you desire this loving God-loving neighbor you desire this, more than Loving More than sacrifice more than the commitment to the worship and making these sacrifices. So, Jesus's response goes something like this. We're told that in this place, when we love our neighbor when we do this thing that we're coming close to the Kingdom of God, that the kingdom of God is important to this realm of loving neighbor. It's right there in Mark 12, 34, Jesus’s response to this guy, is you have spoken well, you have spoken right you have come near to the kingdom of God when you acknowledge that this is important. And this is heavy stuff, right? All the law hangs on it, it helps build the kingdom, it helps bring the Kingdom near to who we are and then we get to the Gospel of Luke, and it comes in a very familiar story, it's called The Parable of the Good Samaritan. Some of us know that story, right? A guy falls among robbers. He gets left for half dead and people walk by a priest walks by, a Levite walks by, then the Good Samaritan comes and he sees him and he has compassion he pours on his wounds he binds them up, he picks him up, puts him on his horse takes him to an inn, gives the innkeeper money says Take care of him. I'll come back to the next day. I mean, you know that story, right? That guy was a neighbor. But it's really quite powerful how this particular story starts because it starts like none of the other components of how we get to the Great Commandments. So Matthew tells us that all the law hangs on it, Mark tells us that it brings us near to the Kingdom of God, and here in Luke, Gospel in the parable of the Good Samaritan, we're told that to love our neighbor is a way to inherit eternal life, man, this is serious stuff, right?

Polyamory: It is the idea that you can love more than one person as long as you're doing it openly, honestly and with the full consent and participation of all involved. Valerie White will tell you all different aspects of Polyamory. Where do people find each other who are poly amorous? Why would you get involved in Polyamory? Is it a choice or orientation? Does the 3rd person live with the first couple? How does that work? Anyways, it's a fascinating subject no matter if your are a part of it or not. Bio: Valerie White has been a Unitarian Universalist for 53 years, lawyer, and director of Sexual Freedom Legal Defense and Education Fund, Valerie White has spoken on polyamory at many national and regional conferences.  She has written for many periodicals, including Loving More, The World and The Humanist, and served on the boards of Church of the Larger Fellowship, Unitarian Universalists for Polyamory Awareness (their first president), Interweave and UU’s for Jewish Awareness.  She has been president of the Unitarian Church of Sharon, MA and currently chairs the worship committee.  A long-time sexual rights activist, she was president of the Vermont Civil Liberties Union.  She has lived in an open triad for 21 years and is helping raise 13-year-old twins.

One year ago I was just getting started.  The summer of 2013 was when I decided to get back into speaking full time.  Little did I imagine the changes I would find, and as I began exploring over the next few months I discovered a new world had evolved in my time “away.”  There were things called “blogs” and “podcasts” and “social media”!  Did I ever have a learning curve ahead of me.  By last October 27th, my birthday, I was celebrating in Maui, and contemplating all the exciting things ahead. So as I celebrated my birthday just this past Monday, I thought it would be appropriate to do an analysis of what went as planned and what didn’t and what was per expectations and what was way over expectations.  Well, I guess you get the idea. Following are the top 5 lessons I learned in this past year.  Maybe these will help you too as you navigate this life of constant change. Lesson #1:  Everything will take much longer than you anticipate. Lesson #2:  The learning curve will be steeper than you imagined. Lesson #3:  You can’t do everything at once. Lesson #4:  You will get discouraged. Lesson #5:  You will succeed if you stay consistent with effort over time.
