So who killed privacy? It's the central question of Tiffany Jenkins' provocative new history of private life, Strangers and Intimates. The answer, according to Jenkins, is that we are all complicit—having gradually and often accidentally contributed to privacy's demise from the 16th century onwards. Luther started it by challenging Papal religious authority and the public sacraments, thereby creating the necessity of private conscience. Then came Enlightenment philosophers like Locke and Hobbes who carved out bounded private political and economic spheres establishing the foundations for modern capitalism and democracy. Counter-enlightenment romantics like Rousseau reacted against this by fetishizing individual innocence and authenticity, while the Victorians elevated the domestic realm as sacred. Last but not least, there's Mark Zuckerberg's socially networked age, in which we voluntarily broadcast our private lives to a worldwide audience. But why, I ask Jenkins, should we care about the death of private life in our current hyper-individualistic age? Can it be saved by more or less obsession with the self? Or might it require us to return to the world before Martin Luther, a place Thomas More half satiricizes Utopia, where “private life” was a dangerously foreign idea. 1. Privacy is a Historical Accident, Not a Natural Human Condition"There was a sense in which you shouldn't do anything privately that they wouldn't do publicly... This wasn't a kind of property-based private life." Jenkins argues that before the 17th century, the very concept of leading a separate private life didn't exist—privacy as we understand it is a relatively recent invention.2. Martin Luther Accidentally Created Modern Privacy Through Religious Rebellion"Luther inadvertently... authorized the self as against, in his case, the Catholic Church... if you follow the debates over the kind of beginnings of a private sphere and its expansion, whether you're reading Locke or Hobbes, there's a discussion about... the limits of authority." Luther's challenge to religious authority unintentionally created the need for private conscience, sparking centuries of development toward individual privacy.3. The Digital Age Represents a Return to Pre-Privacy Transparency"I think we do live in a period where there is little distinction between public and private, where the idea that you might keep something to yourself is seen as strange, as inauthentic." Jenkins suggests our current era of social media oversharing resembles pre-modern times more than the Victorian peak of privacy.4. Modern Loneliness Stems From Social Fragmentation, Not Individual Psychology"I sometimes wonder if we're pathologizing, actually, what is a social problem, which is a society where people are fragmented, not quite sure how to go beyond themselves... I would see that as a social problem." Rather than treating loneliness as a personal issue, Jenkins argues it reflects the breakdown of intermediate institutions between family and state.5. Technology Doesn't Determine Our Privacy—We Do"Can't blame the tech, tech isn't the problem... It comes down really to what sort of society we want to live in and how we want to be treated. That's not a technical thing. That has not to do with technology. That's to do humans." Jenkins rejects technological determinism, arguing that privacy's fate depends on human choices about social organization, not inevitable technological forces.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

He is supposed to be one of the smartest men alive, I would be disappointed he didn't have a multi layered schemeThe only thing Mr terrific and Lois actually do is show Superman where the exit is the only actual physical combat Mr terrific did was punch a bunch of goons outside the portal Lois and the others in the space ship didn't actually do a single thing to help in the moment they literally just watched the fight while writing an article about lex being a bad guy Superman's “hero friends” didn't really help him that much like green lantern and hawkgirl helped stop the war in the Middle East while Superman was dealing with the world cracking open in metropolis The dog literally just ate a bunch of cameras that lex was using to pretty much control the evil Superman that's all he actually didHow was Lois a bigger hero she literally just wrote a paper about lex which jimmy olsen actually wrote more of honestly, so if he wants to say that Lois was a bigger hero than you can pretty much

Luther's 1528 treatise is quite the diatribe against denials of Christ's bodily presence in the sacrament of his Supper. But it is also a deep exploration of the nature of meaning, what we mean when we speak, and above all what Christ means when he speaks.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHThe president reaches out to thank Ethan and tells him that she wants him to bring her the key because if he gets rid of the Entity by himself, it would destroy cyberspace.  So he goes to meet up with Benji and go find Luther in a tunnel to figure out what's next, where Luther is hanging out with a hospital bed. They discuss that they need to find Gabriel, so that starts by breaking Paris out  She tells him to go to London but instead Gabriel captures them and explains to Ethan that retrieving Rabbits Foot actually set off this whole chain reaction. Ethan and Grace escape with Ethan faking his death and then him just going ham on some dudes.  They discover a device that Gabriel used to communicate with the Entity, this coffin-looking thing. He gets in and it's not good. It shows Ethan a vision of a coming nuclear apocalypse. He sees a vision of Luther dying, so he goes to try to stop him but it's too late. Gabriel put him in a cell with a bomb in it. He has 3 minutes to disarm or London will fall. If he does disarm it, it'll still explode but smaller so only Luther will die  When Ethan gets out of the tunnel, he runs into Briggs who arrests him. Ethan tells him he knows he's really the son of Jim Phelps. He tells Ethan this isn't about revenge. It's about Ethan never following orders and gambling with the fate of the world.  He's taken to  Kittridge who tells him it all comes down to this. They have less than 4 days to stop the Entity before it has the entire world's nuclear weapons.  He's taken into a room and President Sloan shows up. He says he needs the key and a plane. It's the only way he can destroy the Entity. The Entity is betting on you not trusting me  She finally gives in, gives him the key, and card that he'll know what to do with it when the time comes.  Ethan's team travels to St. Matthew Island in the Bering Sea, home to a Cold War–era sonar array that detected the Sevastopol's sinking. They locate former CIA analyst William Donloe, who was exiled to the island decades earlier after a break-in at CIA headquarters. They're supposed to share on a frequency where Ethan is supposed to go. But they have visitors.  Ethan can't wait anymore, so he just jumps in the ocean. Luckily, divers from the USS Ohio were waiting for him and they take him down to the sub.  Donloe admits that he wrote down the coordinates. He sends his wife out to the barn to “tend to the dogs” with Grace while he sends the coordinates then a fight and fire break out with the Russians. They successful get the USS Ohio the coordinates.  The captain of the USS Ohio explains they can't stick around cuz of the Russians. Ethan says their chamber was never apart of the plan.  Luckily, Grace is given a chamber from Donloe's wife.  Ethan makes it down to the submarine and it's not going great because it's on the edge of a cliff and it keeps moving which is tough. He is able to get the source code, but he has to escape through a torpedo tunnel which is too tight, so he has to take off the suit and then take off the mask. He makes it to the top but he's unconscious. Grace finds him and is able to cpr him back to life. She lays with him in the chamber until he wakes up.  Grace tells Ethan that she thinks he should control the Entity. He says no one can be trusted with this much power.  Now reunited with his team, they work on the next plan. Ethan outlines his plan to use the Poison Pill that Luther made before he died that is now in the hands of Gabriel. They would then upload and isolate the Entity on a physical drive, trapping it from the outside world. Ethan suspects Gabriel is already waiting at the South African bunker with the Poison Pill, aiming to seize control of the Entity by forcing Ethan to surrender the module. But that's what Ethan is banking on.  The president is running out of time and her team is trying to convince her to use their nucular bombs before it's too late.  Ethan prepares to enter the tunnel, expecting Gabriel to be there and fully ready to let Gabriel kill him for the sake of the plan.  Gabriel is indeed there and  reveals another nuclear device with a twenty-minute countdown, demanding the module. Ethan agrees, but the handover is interrupted by Kittridge & Briggs who wants the U.S. to control the Entity.  The bomb is activated when they show up which is unfortunate. Ethan explains they need to give the module to Gabriel.   A gunfight transpires with Gabriel's team and he is able to flee and Benji is shot but Ethan doesn't know it.  Ethan gets to a vehicle to chase Gabriel but it crashes so he has to run to catch up. He's late but he is able to grab onto a trailing plane which catches up to Gabriel's plane. He jumps off his and onto Gabriel's.  Paris performs emergency surgery on Benji as he guides Grace to reboot the bunker systems to trap the Entity while Donloe works to disarm the bomb.  Right as the president is about to press the button to make the attack, she decides to rather take our weapons offline but she's too late. The Entity takes control.  Ethan finds a second parachute, escapes with the Poison Pill, and unites it with the module, allowing Grace to finish the upload. Kittridge and CIA agent Jasper Briggs find Ethan; Kittridge is frustrated when Ethan hands over the destroyed module of the Sevastopol while Briggs — who is revealed to be James Phelps Jr., the son of Ethan's original team leader Jim Phelps — makes peace with him. The IMF team reunites in London, where Grace gives Ethan the Entity, now safely isolated on the drive, and the team goes their separate ways.

The King fell in love with (and married) the prostitute! What a scandal! Everything he had now belonged to her. This, Luther says, is at the heart of the Christian gospel. And it's very good news for those who feel like they just don't measure up. This sermon (also released as a podcast episode) is the final instalment in our series on the 10 Commandments called "The Royal Family Code."

Pastor Gabe continues our Summer of the Spirit, with a message titled Life in the Spirit. So often we assume the Spirit only shows up in big extravagant ways or through ecstatic experiences, but more often than not, the Spirit is at work in our ordinary lives. He unites us to Christ and his righteousness, shapes our desires towards the things of God, and will one day raise us as he raised Christ.

This week Magnus Persson will examine his journey from popular preacher where church was a party, to the Lutheran faith and pastor in the Church of Sweden where he relishes the liturgy nourished by its historic roots. Persson relies heavily on Luther's book On the Councils and the Church to answer this question and explain his journey. Magnus is a husband, father, and grandfather. He is an ordained Verbi Divini Minister and works as a pastor for EFS – a missional renewal movement in the Swedish Evangelical Lutheran Church. He is also the network co-ordinator of Re:formera and the host for its weekly podcast. Magnus published his book Reclaiming the Reformation: Christ for you in Community in 2021 with 1517 Publishing. 

In this episode of the Outlaw God podcast, Stephen Paulson and Caleb Keith look into the complexities of Martin Luther's relationship with mysticism, exploring how Luther's views diverge from traditional mysticism. They discuss the nature of mysticism, the role of the law and gospel, and the significance of tribulation in the Christian journey. The conversation also touches on the sacraments, the importance of hearing God's voice, and the implications of Moses sermond to Israel and Paul's sermon at the Areopagus.   Show Notes: Support 1517 Podcast Network 1517 Podcasts 1517 on Youtube 1517 Podcast Network on Apple Podcasts 1517 Events Schedule 1517 Academy - Free Theological Education What's New from 1517: Sinner Saint by Luke Kjolhaug The Impossible Prize: A Theology of Addiction by Donavan Riley Ditching the Checklist by Mark Mattes Broken Bonds: A Novel of the Reformation, Book 1 of 2 by Amy Mantravadi More from the hosts: Caleb Keith Steven Paulson

Peter Tonguette of The American Conservative Lost and Found Finding Faith in the Fragments The post Luther's Small Catechism and a Return to Confessional Lutheranism – Peter Tonguette, 7/8/25 (1891) first appeared on Issues, Etc..

This episode explores the struggle between pride and humility in hearing God's voice, inspired by Romans 1:16-17 and Martin Luther's personal journey. Discover how pride can block us from receiving God's message, while humility opens our hearts to the gospel's power. Just as Luther humbled himself to accept that righteousness comes by faith—not by our own efforts—we'll discuss how embracing humility allows us to truly hear and respond to God in our own lives.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHWe meet this neat two-piece key being put together to make one key. We're on a Russian submarine and they have this AI system called The Entity that'll help them evade their enemy. But while testing one day, the AI becomes sentient and makes them think someone is attacking them. Turns out, no one is and they end up getting struck by their own torpedo. The key is now split up and floated up to the surface.  We then catch up with Ethan Hunt who is given his new mission: get both pieces of the key, one of which has already been obtained by Ilsa. So he has to get the one half from Ilsa, and then track down the other one. So he heads to a desert and tracks her down. He gets the key and tells her that she's dead.  Ethan then sneaks into a meeting to hear Kittridge, who is randomly back, explain that the Entity can manipulate cyberspace to control global defense intelligence and financial networks. He tells them that Ethan Hunt was on the case but we don't know where he is. Well, we do. He's in the room in a mask. He tells Kittridge that he refuses to give the half key to Kittridge but tells him he's going to find the other half and destory the Entity. Ethan meets up with Benji and Luther and the travel to Abu Dhabi to intercept the buyer of the other half of the key. Ethan's plan was to sell their half of the key to the buyer, and then follow the buyer to figure out what it unlocks. Ethan locates the buyer but the key is stolen by a professional thief named Grace. Ethan confronts Grace and offers to put the key back in the buyer's pocket in exchange for a generous payment of $4 million.  But by the time they get back to the buyer, he's dead and then we find out that the key they have is actually a counterfeit. While Ethan was distracted but Luther and Benji disarming a weapon, Grace steals the real key from Ethan.  Ethan suspects foul play after seeing Gabriel, a powerful terrorist who appears to be working with the Entity. He and Ethan had an encounter with each other prior to Ethan becoming an IMF agent. So, he aborts the mission and the team scatters.  Grace escapes to Rome but is apprehended. Ethan helps her escape but now they're both being chased - there's an Entity operative named Paris and then there's a US agent Jasper Briggs. Paris and Briggs get into a shootout which gives Ethan and Grace enough time to escape.  Ethan meets back up with Luther and Benji and Ilsa joins them. Ethan and Ilsa follow Grace to Venice where they go to a party held by the the White Widow. Luther had figured out by analyzing the video feed from the airport that Gabriel is working for the Entity. Ilsa says that Gabriel is the Entity's messenger and that the key leads to the Entity's source code.  So the party is poppin. White Widow, Gabriel, Paris, Ethan, Grace, Ilsa... they gather at the party. Ethan realizes that the party was organized by the Entity as well. Ethan knows that White Widow is trying to get the key but doesn't want to keep the key for herself since she does not know what it unlocks. She cannot decide whether to give the key to her friend Ethan, or to Gabriel. Tapped into the Entity, Gabriel proclaims he will possess the completed key the next day and that either Ilsa or Grace will die. While Ethan is attempting to convince the White Widow to not give the key to Gabriel,  Gabriel escapes. The Entity leads Grace and Isla to Gabriel. Gabriel knocks out Grace and kills Ilsa, devastating Ethan.  Grace agrees to impersonate the White Widow and take the key during the sale on the train the next day. Ethan needs to figure out how he's going to get on that train to keep Grace safe.  The next day, on the train, Gabriel kills the engine crew and destroys the throttle and brake. Grace finds the White Widow, knocks her out, and then goes to meet with Kittridge who is the buyer.  Paris & Gabriel meets Director of National Intelligence Denlinger, who divulges all the information he has about the entity and how it went rogue. He explains that inside the submarine is a chamber that only the the completed key can unlock with the original Entity source code which would allow the holder to destroy or control The Entity.  Now that he has all the information, Gabriel kills him.  Kittridge agrees to the White Widow Grace's deal of $100 million and protection. But she ends up pickpocketing the key completed key from Kittridge.  So how is Ethan going to get on the train and save the day? Well, Benji navigates him to the top of this mountain where he ride his motocycle off of it and parachutes onto the train.  Grace takes off the mask and tries to escape but it's too late. She's about to be shot but Ethan comes crashing through the side of the train and saves her. But the key goes on the floor and is picked up by Gabriel.  He goes to the top of the train and Ethan follows him. They begin to fight but Gabriel escapes and sets off an explosion to the bridge that's coming up. But Ethan manages to steal the key back from him without him noticing. Grace and Ethan detach the locomotive from the rest of the train which saves the passengers. But they aren't safe yet. They have to fight their way to the back of the train as more and more of the train continues to fall off the cliff. Right as they're about to fall, Paris shows up and pulls them to safety.  She tells Ethan where to take the key and then passes out from a stab wound. Ethan has to leave and can't take Grace with him. Grace agrees to work with Kittridge and Ethan lands and is joined by Benji now that their next mission is to successfully destroy the Entity.

Pastor Randy Duncan continues our sermon series with a message titled 'Born of the Spirit'. In this sermon, Pastor Randy reminds us that religion can't rebirth you, the Spirit gives birth to Spirit, and the wind blows where it wills, so look to the cross and live.

Intro: During the Reformation, reformers like Luther and John Calvin (Geneva, Switzerland) rejected that priests, saints, or religious works was required for salvation or access to God – it was Christ, alone and sufficient. - Pastor Joseph Thomas - Sunday, July 6, 2025

God is merciful, even if the world does not see it. Luther highlights the explanation as a reminder that the consequences of following other gods are eternal. Although it may seem that the world is prospering without faith in the Triune God, God is working good for His people according to His purpose (Romans 8:28). We are to expect only what God promises to give and know that as the tomb is empty and Christ reigns on high, our hearts can trust in Him and Him alone. Rev. Samuel Bobby, professor at Luther Academy, Riga, Latvia, joins the Rev. Brady Finnern to conclude our study of the 1st commandment. To learn more about Luther Academy, visit www.lut.edu.lv.

Ahead of July 4, Charles and Luther share some of their favorite things about America. The dial-up tone in the introduction was recorded by lintphishx and is used under a CC 3.0 License.

In this episode of the Outlaw God podcast, Stephen Paulson and Caleb Keith explore the themes of divine election, the search for the unknown God, and humans attempts of understanding God through mysticsm. They discuss the contrasting views of Erasmus and Luther on election, the significance of Paul's sermon at the Areopagus, and how mysticism has influenced Lutheran thought. The conversation emphasizes the importance of preaching and the certainty of God's promises in contrast to the uncertainty of human understanding.   Show Notes: Support 1517 Podcast Network Fundraiser! 1517 Podcasts 1517 on Youtube 1517 Podcast Network on Apple Podcasts 1517 Events Schedule 1517 Academy - Free Theological Education What's New from 1517: Sinner Saint by Luke Kjolhaug The Impossible Prize: A Theology of Addiction by Donavan Riley Ditching the Checklist by Mark Mattes Broken Bonds: A Novel of the Reformation, Book 1 of 2 by Amy Mantravadi More from the hosts: Caleb Keith Steven Paulson

During my recent trip to Germany in conjunction with the BGEA European Congress on Evangelism, I had the immense privilege of traveling to Wittenberg, Germany and walking with one of my favorite pastors—Skip Heitzig—through the very same square where Martin Luther famously nailed his Ninety-five Theses to the church door. As we walked, we reflected on how what was intended as a discussion-starter by a monk frustrated with the problems he was seeing in the Catholic Church ultimately became a revolution that would change Christianity as we know it today. Together, Skip and I discussed why the Reformation Luther started over 500 years ago should still matter to the Church today, and how we as the Church can uphold what Luther so boldly gave his life for. Luther pointed the Church back to the free gift of grace—emphasizing the Bible, not the Church, as the ultimate authority for believers. In a time when churches all over the world seem to be leaning more towards performance versus scriptural truth, Luther's message is more relevant than ever before. Church, it's time to fearlessly stand for our faith just as Luther did all those centuries ago. 

The topic this time is evangelical sacramentalism courtesy of a good short article by Gillis Harp, a retired professor of history at Grove City College. With Dr. Harp, the co-hosts, Korey Maas (Lutheran), Miles Smith (Anglican), and D. G. Hart (Presbyterian) talk about the recent elevation of the sacraments among Protestants, whether this is a function of Protestants trying to retrieve the church fathers or re-enchant worship services, and the relationship between preaching and the Lord's Supper.  Spoiler alert: readers may be surprised to hear an Anglican (Dr. Harp) defend a high view of preaching.  Listeners may want to consult Luther's Small Catechism, the Thirty-Nine Articles, and the Shorter Catechism on the Lord's Supper to see the language used to describe the benefits of the sacrament.  

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHThe movie kicks off with Ethan having a dream where he's getting married to Julia but Lane is the officiant and then there's an explosion. He wakes up to a  knock at the door. He is given a package with his new mission.  Apparently, the remains of  "The Syndicate" have reformed into a terrorist group known as "The Apostles". They are responsible for a smallpox outbreak. It's serious stuff. Ethan is told to intercept three stolen plutonium cores before the Apostles can sell them to a baddie named John Lark. It appears John Lark and the Apostles are working together to acquire what they need for nuclear weapons.   So Ethan meets up with Benji and Luther for the mission. He arranges to buy the plutonium from some baddies. But they fail when the Apostles hijack the exchange and Ethan chooses to save Luther's life and the plutonium is taken by the Apostles.  The team capture nuclear weapons expert Nils. They keep Nils in a simulated hospital and run news reels on TV indicating that 3 nuclear attacks have already taken place. Nils agrees to give the pass-code to his phone, if the news reads his manifesto on TV. Turns out, all fake but it's too late, they already have what they need.  We meet the new CIA Director Erica Sloane, she instructs operative August Walker to shadow Ethan as he attempts to retrieve the plutonium because she doesn't trust the IMF to do the job.   They believe Lark is going to be at this party in Paris. So Ethan and Walker have to parachute in, which is harder than it sounds. Walker almost dies but not on Ethan Hunt's watch! They track a man whom they suspect to be Lark. They end up getting in a big fight but dude ends up getting shot by...Ilsa! Ilsa is back baby! She does not tell Ethan who sent her. This is bad news because this dude is supposed to meeting with an arms dealer named the White Widow. Hunt can't finish the mask of Lark's face as Isla shot at the head, so Ethan decides to be Lark without a disguise.  Ethan impersonates Lark and meets the White Widow. He warns her that agents of the Apostles have been sent to kill her and he's able to help her escape when they show up, with a little help from Ilsa.  White Widow tells Ethan that if he wants the plutoneum, he has to help Lane escape during his transfer in an armored convoy. They say they have to kill everyone. Ethan is like I'm John Lark, I'll kill anyone anytime. Walker hears this and tells Director Sloane that he thinks it's possible Hunt really is Lark.  Ethan and Walker attack Lane's convoy but they do it in a way that avoids having to kill the police. Ethen pushes Lane's escort van into the river. He then leads the police and the White Widow's men on a chase across Paris while Benji and Luther secure Lane. He is able to jump down into a boat where Luther and Benji have Lane.  Ilsa reappears to kill Lane to show MI6 that she's loyal but the car is bullet proof. He takes Lane to White Window. But then White Widow tells him that she wants him to bring the women who killed 4 of her men, obviously talking about Ilsa.  Hunt meets Ilsa and realizes that she was in Paris to protect Lark, and in the washroom, she killed whom she thought was Lark, to protect Hunt. Ilsa wanted Lark to break Lane out, as she wanted to kill Lane. Hunt realizes that Ilsa is working for the MI6, and they want her to prove her loyalty. Hunley shows up and confronts Ethan about being John Lark. Ethan denies it and injects him with something to knock him out to continue the mission. He suspects that Walker is the real John Lark so they hatch a plan for him to go in and confront Lane knowing that he would admit to it. Obviously, it's not really Lane, it's Benji in a mask.  I guess Hunley has come to and this is enough for him. He phones Director Sloan who instructs a CIA unit to detain everyone because she doesn't trust any of them. The CIA unit has been compromised by Walker and he orders them to attack Hunley and his IMF men instead.  Walker kills Hunley and escapes. So Ethan chases him across the city. He's jumping from building to building, doing his Tom Cruise run. He finally catches up with him and Walker tells him he has to turn himself into Lane or he's going to kill Julia, and shows a picture of him knowing where she is.  Ethan gets back with Benji, Luther, and Ilsa and Ethan explains that he believes they're going to go ahead and detonate the nuclear weapons over some water that'll infect a ton of people.  Luckily, they know where Lane is because they put a tracker in him. When they show up at this medical camp, he sees Julia. Apparently, Walker arranged her for and her husband, Doctor Eric, to be there.  Lane activates the weapons and gives the detonator to Walker, which they need to get in order to diffuse the bombs. Walker goes up in a helicopter which naturally Ethan jumps onto and climbs his way up while it's in the air.  Ethan is able to take control of the helicopter that's trailing Walker. Luther, Benji, and Ilsa are looking for the bombs and Julia finds Luther and wants to help.  Ilsa ends up being held captive by Lane in the room with the 2nd explosive. Benji shows up and tries to help and they all get in a big fight. She's about to kill Lane but notices that Benji is about to die himself, so she saves him and they tie Lane up.  While all that's happening, the helicopter chase doesn't end great. They crash and end up on the edge of a cliff. Ethan and Walker fight over to the detonator. They both fall off the cliff but they grab onto a rope. Ethan puts his rock climbing skills back to work as the helicopter comes down and kills Walker. Ethan rushes to climb up to the top just in time to press the button as the other cut the wires. Perfect timing.  Ethan is rescued and brought back to Julia and her husband where they help him come to. He apologizes to Julia for everything. Sloane shows up and explains to Ethan that they've handed Lane over to MI6 through the White Widow, which earns Ilsa's freedom.

【聊了什么The What】 在一个充满官僚主义的银河帝国中，革命究竟意味着什么？当理想主义者遭遇现实的残酷，"正义"与"邪恶"的界限是否真的那么清晰？从Luthen的革命理念到Dedra的极权思维，剧集以令人不安的方式探讨了权力、反抗与人性的本质。 革命的本质是什么？它需要什么样的代价和牺牲？从卢森的马基雅维利式的组织者形象，到帝国完美官僚的非人性，再到太空法国的群众运动，《安多》探讨了反抗与压迫、个人与集体、理想与现实之间的复杂关系。 Andor Season 2 is a unique work in the Star Wars universe that features no lightsabers, Force powers, or chosen ones, instead focusing on marginalized characters and the imperial bureaucracy. The series tells the story of how the Empire was overthrown, showcasing the desperation of ordinary people, cracks within the Empire, and the real cost of rebellion. As "a prequel to a prequel" of the original Star Wars trilogy, Andor Season 2 ends by seamlessly transitioning into the film Rogue One, revealing these characters' ultimate fates. The show explores several thought-provoking themes: Is the nature of revolution romantic idealism or bloody reality? How does the Empire's propaganda machine justify colonization and genocide through stereotypes and inciting hatred? How do characters like Luther and Dedra represent different facets of revolution and oppression? Perhaps most importantly, in an age of rampant social media where everyone claims to possess "the truth," how can we discern the reality of history? 【时间轴 The When】 00:00:00 作为精神股东，终于看上了安多 00:01:40 安多作为星战宇宙中的奇特存在，没有光剑和原力，聚焦底层人物 00:06:52 太空法国：探讨帝国如何通过宣传和刻板印象为毁灭Gorman星球正名 00:11:15 Gorman事件：以及社交媒体时代的"真相"困境 00:26:01 Luthen，以及革命者如何成为他所憎恨的对象的映照 00:36:18 帝国官僚Dedra 00:47:32 安多：一个被写不进正史的英雄 00:52:37 必须得给安多留个孩子吗？？ 00:00:00 Introduction to Andor Season 2, explaining its unique place in the Star Wars universe 00:01:40 Star Wars with no lightsabers or Force 00:06:52 "Space France" - how the director transforms a historical footnote into the emotional core of the series 00:18:51 Reflecting on parallels between the Gorman massacre and real-world events, and the dilemma of "truth" in the social media era 00:26:01 Luthen: how a revolutionary becomes a reflection of what he hates 00:36:18 Dedra character analysis: Empire turns people into tools 00:47:32 Andor: a hero who won't make it into official history 00:52:37 Discussion of the series ending: does Andor need a kid? 【疲惫红书 CyberRed】 除了播客以外，疲惫娇娃的几个女的在小红书上开了官方账号，我们会不定期发布【疲惫在读】、【疲惫在看】、【疲惫旅行】、【疲惫Vlog】等等更加轻盈、好玩、实验性质的内容。如果你想知道除了播客以外我们在关注什么，快来小红书评论区和我们互动。 Apart from the podcast, we have set up an official account on Xiaohongshu.

A god is whatever we depend on for all good and seek for refuge in distress. One can believe that such good comes from the Triune God, or one could seek it elsewhere. What is your god? Luther warns of mammon, people, skill, power, friendship, and pride. Each of these can easily become a god. However, we know from Scripture that all that is good is from God (Mark 10:18). He is the One who gives us food, drink, nourishment, health, protection, peace, and everything else we need to support this body and life. The objects themselves are not God, but flow from the generosity of the One who gives us all things in Christ (Colossians 1:15-20).  Rev.

What is the right sacrifice before God? Dr. Paulson continues to examine Cain and Able in an effort to refute the notion that the difference between the two was a result of the correct use of free will. Paulson argues that Luther rightly demonstrates that the difference was between faith and works.

Our card this week is Luther Meshell, the 9 of Hearts from Louisiana. On a mild spring night in 1991, Luther's teenage son found him lying dead on his bedroom floor next to his overturned wheelchair and a knife. With a locked door and no signs of forced entry, police believe his killer could have been someone he knew and trusted… but when they zoom out, investigators notice a series of other crimes with eerie similarities… and they begin to consider whether a serial killer could be to blame.Anyone with information on who is responsible for the death of Luther Meshell is urged to contact the Shreveport Police Department by calling 318-673-7300 and asking for someone in investigations or by emailing the Assistant Chief of Police in the Investigations Division at Steve.Pfender@shreveportla.gov.View source material and photos for this episode at: thedeckpodcast.com/luther-meshell Let us deal you in… follow The Deck on social media.Instagram: @thedeckpodcast | @audiochuckTwitter: @thedeckpodcast_ | @audiochuckFacebook: /TheDeckPodcast | /audiochuckllcTo support Season of Justice and learn more, please visit seasonofjustice.org.The Deck is hosted by Ashley Flowers. Instagram: @ashleyflowersTikTok: @ashleyflowerscrimejunkieTwitter: @Ash_FlowersFacebook: /AshleyFlowers.AFText Ashley at 317-733-7485 to talk all things true crime, get behind the scenes updates, and more!

In this episode, we confront a growing trend in contemporary Christianity: the desire to have Christ without His Church. Many today seek a personal faith disconnected from any visible communion, doctrine, or shared life with the Body of Christ. But is such a divorce possible—or faithful? We begin by exploring modern attempts to follow Jesus while distancing from the Church, examining the roots of this spiritual individualism and the dangers it poses. Then we turn to the Lutheran Confessions, where Luther clearly affirms that the Church is not only a human community but an article of faith: “I believe that there is on earth a little holy group and congregation of pure saints...” (SA III.XII.1–2; Large Catechism, Creed, III). The Church is where Christ is present with His Word and Sacraments. Finally, we present a better way forward—a way rooted in love for both the Bridegroom and His Bride. To love Christ is to love His Church. To receive Him is to receive His gifts in the fellowship of believers. Join us as we seek a faithful and joyful reintegration of personal faith with the life of the Church, where Christ is truly known and received. ----more---- Host: Fr. Jason Braaten Special Guest: Fr.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHSo Benji is out in the literal field. He's watching this plane that is about to take off. And here's what you need to know - the package is on that plane. He's doing this mission with Brandt who is back at HQ. Luther pipes in cuz I guess he can help now and he makes it to where Benji can access the plane remotely. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Ethan comes running through the field and tells Benji to open the door. Once Benji figures out which door he means, he finds these canisters holding nerve gas and pushes them out the back. THEME SONG TIME!  Some time later, Ethan walks into a record store where he uses some coded language to get a vinyl which will show him his next mission. While the message is playing, it is revealed that the message is from The Syndicate which is a group Ethan has been tracking for a year. They tell him that if he continues to go after them, he will die. He looks out and sees a dude in glasses who kills the women who gave him the record as gas causes Ethan to go unconcious.  Cut to a senate meeting with Brandt and  CIA director Alan Hunley. They demand that the IMF be disbanded due to the events that happened in Russia.  We see that Ethan is being held hostage.

Just as he's about to do his thing, he is freed by the women. She's Ilsa Faust, an undercover British MI6 agent. But she doesn't leave with him. She convinces them that she was trying to help them as he escaped.  He calls Brandt for help but he says the IMF have been shut down. Ethan now knows he's on his own and that the CIA is going to be looking for him.  6 months later, we see Ethan in a room, He's got a very real beard. And he's just doing some pull ups. The CIA thinks they found him but Ethan is always one step ahead. Ethan is watching them with the finest Nokia cell phone. And CIA Director Hunley is not pleased. He brings Benji in for a polygraph test but Benji insists that he doens't owe Ethan anything and that they aren't friends. When Benji returns to his desk, he has two tickets to the Vienna opera. So he heads to Austria and he is immediately handed a envelope. Inside are some glasses that allow him and Ethan to communicate. Ethan catches him up to speed.  He believe that Lane is going to be at the Opera. Who is Lane? He is the glasses dude that Ethan suspects is the Syndicate's leader. Benji and Ethan discover that the opera is being attended by the Austrian Chancellor which does throw a wrench in the plan. Benji is watching the cameras and sees the potential assassin. Ethan also notices a woman moving around the backstage.  Ethan catches up with the assassin and they fight, but then Ethan notices a 3rd assassin moving into position. There's a lot of assassin's at the opera tonight.   He takes the gun of the first assassin and shoots the Chancellor in the shoulder to save his life. Benji attacks the 3rd shooter in the lighting booth, and the women, who turns out to be Ilsa from the beginning shoots that baddie to save Benji.  Ethan finds Ilsa and they escape in time to see the Chancellor's car explode. Hunt helps Ilsa escape the opera. Ilsa jumps out of Ethan's car to make it look like an escape and then is taken to Lane. It appears she's working with him when he questions her loyalty for letting Ethan escape twice.  Ethan figures out that Ilsa is going to Moracco, so he goes to meet up with her and she tells him what she knows - that the baddie is Soloman Lane who used to be British Intellegence and went rogue and started the Syndicate. She claims that Lane kept a ledger of all his operatives which was stolen by one of his operatives and placed in a secure server here in Moracco. The secure server can only be accessed if your profile is already preloaded into the security system that is housed under water. So Ethan dives in and it doesn't exactly go according to plan. He does swap out the security profile but isn't able to escape before running out of oxygen. So Ilsa jumps in and saves him. But then proceeds to take the flash drive with the ledger on it to take to her British intelligence boss who says this isn't good enough. She needs to go back to Lane so that he can confirm that thats the real ledger. So she shows back up to Lane but the flash drive has been wiped clean.  We catch up with Benji and Ethan who are found by Luther and Brandt. Turns out, Benji made a copy of the flash drive and it turns out it contains an encrypted British government virtual red box that requires the biometrics of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom to unlock it.  They all travel to London, but Lane's men abduct Benji during the team's meeting and use him to blackmail Ethan into decrypting and delivering the data to him. Despite Brandt's protests, Ethan accepts the mission. Hunley is informed by Brandt to come to London. He shows up to a meeting with Brandt and the Prime Minister. Atlee is also there and has the Prime Minister confirm that the Syndicate is real which is a suprise to Hunley. Atlee then shoots the prime minister with a dart and reveals that Atlee is actually Ethan in a mask. The real Atlee shows up and confirms that he started the Syndicate to recruit former intelligence agents and perform missions without oversight and zero accountability but Lane went rogue. Hunley is like oh my bad. I done goofed.  Ethan and Brandt secure the Prime Minister's biometrics, allowing Luther to decrypt the file. When decrypting the file, it is revealed that the red box actually contains access to £2.4 billion to do with what The Syndicate saw fit.  Ethan destroys the data after deducing that Lane plans to fund The Syndicate with the money. Arriving at the meeting place arranged by Lane, Ethan finds Benji strapped to a bomb and wearing a headset and contact lens camera to serve as Lane's proxy alongside Faust. Ethan tells Lane that he has memorized the data and offers himself in exchange for Benji's safety. Benji escapes after Lane remotely disarms the bomb and Ilsa and Ethan run through the city when the Bone Doctor and his boys show back up.  Ilsa makes the Bone Doctor follow her and she kills him. And Ethan draws Lane out, who has now joined the chase, and lures him into a tunnel system where he ends up in a transparent bulletproof cell where he is gassed, like he did to Ethan at the beginning of the film and taken into custody. Hunley goes to speak to the Senate again and claims that their previous meeting served as a cover to help Ethan expose and shut down The Syndicate and he's now requesting the IMF be reinstated.
