Podcasts about marginalizing

When has the church come alongside you in a meaningful way? Chris wants to hear some good news. We talk a lot about the problems in the church. The hypocrisy. Marginalizing people. Not meeting needs.

Jay Bookman wrote a blistering-yet-sobering piece last week for the Georgia Recorder where he spells it out plainly: Republicans pick on the trans community because 'it works," writing "Because transgender Americans are an unpopular, powerless and almost friendless subgroup, which makes them the perfect target for politicians willing to leverage that unpopularity into votes." See, legislating for all Americans to ensure diversity & inclusion is really hard, whereas throughout American history, political leaders have consistently chosen the path of least resistance: selective bigotry. Marginalizing subsets is as American as apple pie, much like school bullies pick on the "unpopular, powerless and almost friendless" kid(s). Kinda pathetic, isn't it? On the topic of trans people and schools, it took mere minutes for Georgia Republican Senator Greg Dolazal to lob some anti-trans "red meat" - again, because equality and inclusion are too hard for him - on the first day of the 2025 General Assembly session. Surely this means it's the most important item on the Georgai GOP agenda. Meanwhile the recently exited special counselor, Jack Smith, finally had one of his two volumes of final reports on cases involving Donald Trump released. Were we in normal times or in a nation that truly believed in a blind justice or justice at all, the findings would be damning. Instead, the convicted felon at the heart of that and the still-held-tightly classified documents case will be sworn in as President in six days. He, the leader of the party of "the rule of law."

Hey, don't tell us. We'll tell you. The suits who bankroll the industry think they know what we want to read. They have no idea. Marginalizing voices is an active pursuit where financial concerns are frequently used as an excuse. The Horizon Experiment has faith in us, placing its future in our wallets, betting we'll support originality in genres gatekept by the fearful. Their first one-shot, The Manchurian, carries an irresistible premise steered expertly by Pornsak Pichetshoteand Terry Dodson. Published by Image Comics, The Manchurian lands in comic book stores on September 25th (its FOC is September 2nd). The elevator pitch champions a Chinese James Bond. Look at the header image above. Terry and Rachel Dodson are going full-Daniel Craig in Casino Royale or Ursula Andress in Dr. No. We've read the first issue and can confirm fashion, sex, violence, and unconquerable charisma. However, beyond the Bond basics, The Manchurian follows a perspective never explored by 007: corporate espionage as handled by Chinese Communist agents. Just as all of us were recovering from San Diego Comic-Con, we spoke with Pornsak Pichetshote and Terry Dodson about The Horizon Experiment, their twist on the spy sub-genre, and the four other radical one-shots riding on their heels. We discuss the pilot program The Horizon Experiment employs and how it's not really different from how comics always operate. We chat about capturing the Bond vibe without being chained to it and how competition amongst peers is as much a trap as anything else. Make sure you continue this conversation by following Pornsak Pichetshote on Twitter and Instagram. Also, follow Terry Dodson on Twitter, Instagram, and his Website.

Marginalizing men and boys has been a big problem for many years now. You have heard Jordan Peterson address this issue, and he is now persecuted for it. Listen now and you will learn how toxic masculinity is a lie! Learn how it has been created by the woke culture. I promise you will be blessed by this because you will understand what this fallen, broken, woke world believes about men (Toxic Masculinity). But more importantly, you will learn what the Bible says about being a man. Biblically is better! It is true and it comes from God, who created man and woman.

In part two of our examination of Black nationalism, we look at the political implications of the marginalization of Black nationalism. We analyze the limitations of current progressive Black political formations through the lens of not learning the lessons of Black nationalism and Pan-Afrikan nationalism. Finally, we use examples of work we do at LBS as examples of how the insights of Black/Pan-African Nationalism can address the material needs of Afrikan people. Support the showIn Search of Black Power is a Black-owned internet show and podcast.

I am deeply honored to share the screen with Aluba Fenix, an executive coach and sports psychologist with over 20 years of experience. In this episode, Aluba emphasizes the constant need to reset and recalibrate our views and values, focusing on aligning the mindset and spirit and unlocking the full potential of an individual or a team in achieving high-performance outcomes.There is still an awful lot of work to do to make the corporate world more human. Business leaders need to recognize their duty to care for their teams and implement approaches and programs acknowledging that we are working with humans (and not machines).The biggest skill that we lack as a modern society is an openness to conduct respectful dialogues. We struggle to listen to dissenting voices other than our own. We're only looking for information confirming our beliefs and losing the humility that we could be wrong. Whether in Business or how we run governments, we urgently need to shift around this inadequacy that creates polarization and contempt among ourselves. Diversity, Equity & Inclusion - post-COVID. How people are shamed for their medical decisions and different groups taking a stand for and against vaccination to demonize each other. Marginalizing people who are saying no on this issue is a question of how we've really embraced diversity.Tune in to this powerful episode of Barrels and Business ▶️ How To Recalibrate Your Views & Values For Success with Aluba Fenix.Key points covered in this episode: 00:00 Introduction02:33 Jade welcomes Aluba Fenix and the tale behind his family motto04:38 Aluba's origin story and spiritual rebirth 08:44 The African experience and discovering why life is meant to be lived not as an individual but as a tribe11:11 Why the starting place for leadership is always inner work 14:47 The corporate world needs to become more human 15:06 People are the source of competitive advantage in the digital economy17:08 Jade on why the fate of humanity rests on the shoulders of the business owners and the business leaders28:21 Aluba tells how we're losing our capacity to accommodate dissenting voices and why that's a real serious problem29:53 On embracing diversity and shaming the unvaccinated1:04:48 Pursuing a disciplined approach to your active rest and recovery is fundamental to your professionalism as a corporate athlete1:05:45 The culture of overwork Aluba Fenix is a Leadership Coach with over 20 years of experience in the technology sector and a background in Sport Psychology.

On this week's episode, we go straight to the interview! Colleen Henry, of the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College, joins us to talk about the origin story of abuse and neglect registries and how they have changed in size and impact over the decades since they were first introduced. We close with some thoughts from Henry about some common-sense changes that systems should be considering in regard to these things. Reading RoomMarginalizing Mothers: Child Maltreatment Registries, Statutory Schemes, and Reduced Opportunities for Employmenthttps://bit.ly/3M5AJjb“It's Like A Leech On Me”: Child Abuse Registries Punish Unsuspecting Parents Of Colorhttps://bit.ly/3G5YmGQBiden Needs to Consider Child Abuse Registry Reforms as an Agenda Itemhttps://bit.ly/3sZj8mcGeorgia Dissolves Child Abuse and Neglect Registryhttps://bit.ly/3wOG0GcNew York Limits Access to Parents' Names on Child Abuse And Neglect Registryhttps://bit.ly/3wQjnB2Child Welfare Ideas from the Experts #9: Standardized Registry of Maltreatment Reportshttps://bit.ly/3adMGWv

Pedro is from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and he received his B.A. in Theater Directing from Yale University.      Lead Me Home is a co-production of Netflix and Actual Films, and produced by Bonni Cohen, Serin Marshall and Richard Berge. And I'm happy to announce that it will screen at the Warner Grand Theatre, in San Pedro, on March 20th.In Lead Me Home, Pedro Kos and Jon Shenk filmed the daily lives of more than two dozen subjects over three years. This method allows the viewer to almost be with the subject, to understand their perspective. That is largely what makes the film so vital - shedding a much needed light on these individuals' circumstances.Lead Me Home trailer:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moekzAxXe0o

Campuses across the southern Indian state of Karnataka have been forced to close, as right wing Hindu groups harass and heckle Muslims girls wearing headscarves to class. Is the BJP government's push for a hijab-free school uniform enforcing secularism or actively discriminating against a religious minority? And could moves to further marginalise India's Muslims lead to something more dangerous?

Shaker staff members Jill Lasheen and Brittany Webb sit down with DEI Coordinator Tiara Sargeant to discuss what it means to be part of a traditionally marginalized community at school, how we can create inclusive environments throughout our schools and how small acts of acknowledgement can have a big impact on all students in our classrooms. We also discuss how our entire community can be especially aware of others around times of holiday seasons.

We speak with Anna Allanbrook, longtime principal of Brooklyn New School (BNS). Learning at BNS is inquiry-based and cross-disciplinary. As well, BNS is known as the “opt-out school” because 95% of families opt out of standardized testing. The school offers no test preparation.

Rant and Rave discuss the reason all the world leaders are huddled together in Glassgow and Rome this week; it's to control you! It's all part of a well organized, funded and concerted effort to work with the Illuminati to bring down select nations and create one world government under the UN. And none of your rights matter in this context. Good news is it has no teeth, and we can never let it get any. We must continue to fight for America First! Leaders also took their private jets (hundreds of them) to Glassgow to fight climate change while expending tons of carbon gasses with their private jets! Total hypocrites as usual. It's the annual gathering of the Al Gore types who think the world is melting and we must do something NOW! (funny he said that 20 years ago and we seemed to be fine) Finally, they discuss the Virginia Governor election this coming Tuesday.

Today's politics seem to be all about creating victims of one side or the other to continue to drive a wedge between the parties. We are no closer to working together as a nation then we were a year ago or three years ago. Politicians continue to try to separate us to ensure their control over us. While the right wing complains about the victimhood mentality and victimhood politics, and tend to agree more with individual explanations to social problems and an individual's fault if things turn out wrong. Marginalizing real issues that people face and placing the blame solely on them without helping find a solution. Progressive liberals continue to use victimhood politics. Allowing progressives to claim they are, in the business of helping marginalised or oppressed groups without actually doing anything to help anyone. All talk and no action. In doing so progressives attribute a kind of superior virtue or presumed authority to those who are victimised, and a reluctance to disagree with anyone who claims to feel like a victim. Unfortunately both of these methods incentivises everyone and anyone to declare themselves as society's victims too, divorced from any significant personal experience of suffering or oppression. And, when government makes available funding to resolve said grievance, a cottage industry emerges with the incentive is to keep the whole thing going. What this does is nothing more than crate a type of identity politics of aggressively competing victimhoods, in which groups of people, based on religious, national, ethnic, sexual, or whatever else identity they chose, demand to have their victimhood status recognised and something done about it. This quashes all debate and moral reasoning, and in the end does little to resolve genuine oppression and suffering. As always the challenge is left to us to help. Help solve this problem created by politicians fighting to stay in power, help ourselves, help our family, and help our community. We can only solve problems through working together and we can only begin to work together if we stop competing to be the victim. Remember our issues may not be entirely our fault but they are entirely our responsiblity and we need to take action. That is why today we are talking about overcoming the victim mindset to improve our own lives and our community --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/finding-our-freedom/support

In this episode we discuss Whiteshift: Populism, Immigration, and the Future of White Majorities by Eric Kaufmann. Next time we will discuss True Names by Vernor Vinge. Some highlights from Whiteshift: Many people desire roots, value tradition and wish to maintain continuity with ancestors who have occupied a historic territory. This means we're more likely to experience what I term Whiteshift, a process by which white majorities absorb an admixture of different peoples through intermarriage, but remain oriented around existing myths of descent, symbols and traditions No one who has honestly analysed survey data on individuals – the gold standard for public opinion research – can deny that white majority concern over immigration is the main cause of the rise of the populist right in the West. This is primarily explained by concern over identity, not economic threat. We are entering a period of cultural instability in the West attendant on our passage between two relatively stable equilibria. The first is based on white ethnic homogeneity, the second on what the prescient centrist writer Michael Lind calls ‘beige' ethnicity, i.e. a racially mixed majority group. In the middle lies a turbulent multicultural interregnum. We in the West are becoming less like homogeneous Iceland and more like homogeneous mixed-race Turkmenistan. But to get there we'll be passing through a phase where we'll move closer to multicultural Guyana or Mauritius. The challenge is to enable conservative whites to see a future for themselves in Whiteshift – the mixture of many non-whites into the white group through voluntary assimilation. Anyone who wants to explain what's happening in the West needs to answer two simple questions. First, why are right-wing populists doing better than left-wing ones? Second, why did the migration crisis boost populist-right numbers sharply while the economic crisis had no overall effect? If we stick to data, the answer is crystal clear. Demography and culture, not economic and political developments, hold the key to understanding the populist moment. Because Western nations were generally formed by a dominant white ethnic group, whose myths and symbols – such as the proper name ‘Norway' – became the nation's, the two concepts overlap in the minds of many. White majorities possess an ‘ethnic' module, an extra string to their national identity which minorities lack. Ethnic majorities thereby express their ethnic identity as nationalism. I contend that today's white majorities are likely to successfully absorb minority populations while their core myths and boundary symbols endure. This will involve a change in the physical appearance of the median Westerner, hence Whiteshift, though linguistic and religious markers are less likely to be affected. Getting from where we are now, where most Westerners share the racial and religious features of their ethnic archetype, to the situation in a century or two, when most will be what we now term ‘mixed-race', is vital to understanding our present condition. In our more peaceful, post-ideological, demographically turbulent world, migration-led ethnic change is altering the basis of politics from class to ethnicity. On one side is a conservative coalition of whites who are attached to their heritage joined by minorities who value the white tradition; on the other side a progressive alliance of minorities who identify with their ethnic identity combined with whites who are agnostic or hostile towards theirs. Among whites, ethno-demographic change polarizes people between ‘tribal' ethnics who value their particularity and ‘religious' post-ethnics who prioritize universalist creeds such as John McWhorter's ‘religion of anti-racism'. Whites can fight ethnic change by voting for right-wing populists or committing terrorist acts. They may repress anxieties in the name of ‘politically correct' anti-racism, but cracks in this moral edifice are appearing. Many opt to flee by avoiding diverse neighbourhoods, schools and social networks. And other whites may choose to join the newcomers, first in friendship, subsequently in marriage. Intermarriage promises to erode the rising diversity which underlies our current malaise. Religion evolved to permit cooperation in larger units.31 Our predisposition towards religion, morality and reputation – all of which can transcend the tribe – reflects our adaptation to larger social units. Be that as it may, humans have lived in large groups only in the very recent past, so it is reasonable to assume tribalism is a more powerful aspect of our evolutionary psychology than our willingness to abide by a moral code. Today what we increasingly see in the West is a battle between the ‘tribal' populist right and the ‘religious' anti-racist left. Much of this book is concerned with the clash between a rising white tribalism and an ideology I term ‘left-modernism'. A sociologist member of the ‘New York Intellectuals' group of writers and literary critics, Daniel Bell, used the term modernism to describe the spirit of anti-traditionalism which emerged in Western high culture between 1880 and 1930. With the murderous excesses of communism and fascism, many Western intellectuals embraced a fusion of modernist anti-traditionalism and cultural egalitarianism, distinguishing the new ideology from both socialism and traditional liberalism. Cosmopolitanism was its guiding ethos. Unlike socialism or fascism, this left-wing modernism meshed nicely with capitalism and globalization. The left-modernist sensibility spread from a small elite to a much wider section of middle-class society in the 1960s with the rise of television and growth of universities, taking over as the dominant sensibility of the high culture. As it gained ground, it turned moralistic and imperialistic, seeking not merely to persuade but to institutionalize itself in law and policy, altering the basis of liberalism from tolerating to mandating diversity. This is a subtle but critical shift. Meanwhile the economic egalitarianism of socialism gave way to a trinity of sacred values around race, gender and sexual orientation. Immigration restriction became a plank of the Progressive movement which advocated improved working conditions, women's suffrage and social reform. This combination of left-wing economics and ethno-nationalism confounds modern notions of left and right but Progressive vs. free market liberal was how the world was divided in the late nineteenth century. A prominent plank in the Progressive platform was temperance, realized in the Volstead Act of 1920 prohibiting the sale of alcohol. The Prohibition vote pitted immigrant-origin Catholics and upper-class urban WASPs such as the anti-Prohibition leader and New York socialite Pauline Morton Sabin on the ‘wet' side against ‘dry' working-class, rural and religious Protestants. For Joseph Gusfield, Prohibition was principally a symbolic crusade targeted at urban Catholic immigrants who congregated in saloons and their ‘smart set' upper-class allies. This was a Protestant assertion of identity in an increasingly urban nation in which Catholics and Jews formed around a fifth of the population. Those of WASP background had declined to half the total from two thirds in the 1820s. What's interesting is that Anglo representatives did not make their case in ethno-communal terms, nor did they invoke the country's historic ethnic composition. Rather they couched their ethnic motives as state interests. Instead of coming clean about their lament over cultural loss, they felt obliged to fabricate economic and security rationales for restriction. Much the same is true today in the penchant for talking about immigrants putting pressure on services, taking jobs, increasing crime, undermining the welfare state or increasing the risk of terrorism. In my view it would be far healthier to permit the airing of ethno-cultural concerns rather than suppressing these, which leads to often spurious claims about immigrants. Likewise, immigrants' normal desires to defend their interests are decried as ‘identity politics'. [Randolph] Bourne, on the other hand, infused Kallen's structure with WASP self-loathing. As a rebel against his own group, Bourne combined the Liberal Progressives' desire to transcend ‘New Englandism' and Protestantism with Kallen's call for minority groups to maintain their ethnic boundaries. The end product was what I term asymmetrical multiculturalism, whereby minorities identify with their groups while Anglo-Protestants morph into cosmopolites. Thus Bourne at once congratulates the Jew ‘who sticks proudly to the faith of his fathers and boasts of that venerable culture of his', while encouraging his fellow Anglo-Saxons to: Breathe a larger air … [for] in his [young Anglo-Saxon's] new enthusiasms for continental literature, for unplumbed Russian depths, for French clarity of thought, for Teuton philosophies of power, he feels himself a citizen of a larger world. He may be absurdly superficial, his outward-reaching wonder may ignore all the stiller and homelier virtues of his Anglo-Saxon home, but he has at least found the clue to that international mind which will be essential to all men and women of good-will if they are ever to save this Western world of ours from suicide. [1916] Bourne, not Kallen, is the founding father of today's multiculturalist left because he combines rebellion against his own culture and Liberal Progressive cosmopolitanism with an endorsement – for minorities only – of Kallen's ethnic conservatism. In other words, ethnic minorities should preserve themselves while the majority should dissolve itself. Cosmopolitanism must manage the contradiction between its ethos of transcending ethnicity and its need for cultural diversity, which requires ethnic attachment. Bourne resolved this by splitting the world into two moral planes, one for a ‘parental' majority who would be asked to shed their ethnicity and oppose their own culture, and the other for childlike minorities, who would be urged to embrace their heritage in the strongest terms. This crystallized a dualistic habit of mind, entrenched in the anti-WASP ethos of 1920s authors like Sinclair Lewis and H. L. Mencken and the bohemian ‘Lost Generation' of American intellectuals such as F. Scott Fitzgerald. All associated the Anglo-Protestant majority with Prohibition, deemed WASP culture to be of no value, and accused the ethnic majority of suppressing more interesting and expressive ethnic groups. The Lost Generation's anti-majority ethos pervaded the writing of 1950s ‘Beat Generation' left-modernist writers like Norman Mailer and Jack Kerouac – who contrasted lively black jazz or Mexican culture with the ‘square' puritanical whiteness of Middle America. As white ethnics assimilated, the despised majority shifted from WASPs to all whites. The multiculturalism of the 1960s fused the Liberal Progressive pluralist movement with the anti-white ethos of the Beat counterculture. The situation by 1924 was a far cry from the pre-1890 dispensation, when a liberal-assimilationist Anglo-Americanism spanned both universalist and ethno-nationalist shades of opinion. Prior to 1890, most Anglo-Protestant thinkers held the view that their ethnic group could assimilate all comers. During moments of euphoria, they talked up the country as a universal cosmopolitan civilization; in their reflective moods, they remarked on its Anglo-Saxon Protestant character. By 1910, this Emersonian ‘double-consciousness' was gone, each side of its contradiction a separate and consistent ideology. Most WASP intellectuals were, like New England patrician Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, ethno-nationalists who backed restriction, or, like Bourne and Dewey, cosmopolitans calling for diversity and open borders. Few ethno-nationalists favoured open immigration. No pluralists endorsed restriction. Herein lie the roots of our contemporary polarized condition. Critical race theorists contend that white ethnics only ‘became white' when they became useful to the WASP majority. Even Bill Clinton, a southern Protestant whose Irish heritage is undocumented, latched on to the idea that his Irish forebears ‘became' white. Irish Catholics in the north, some claim, were important allies of southern whites in the struggle against Yankee republicanism, so southerners embraced the Irish.60 I'm less convinced. The Irish, Jews and Italians may not have been part of a narrower WASP ‘us', but they were perceived as racially white, thus part of a pan-ethnic ‘us'. This entitled them to opportunities not available to African- or Asian Americans. Post-1960s intermarriage led to an extension of American majority ethnic boundaries from WASP to white but the foundations for expansion were already in place. From the 1960s on, the religious marker of dominant ethnicity came to be redefined from Protestant to ‘Judaeo-Christian'. This chapter underscores several aspects of American ethnic history that are relevant today. First, that the US, like most European nations, has had an ethnic majority since Independence. Second, that the Anglo-Protestant majority underwent a Whiteshift in the mid-twentieth century which permitted it to absorb Catholics and Jews, members of groups once viewed as outsiders. Finally, certain ethnic groups – notably Anglo-Protestants and African-Americans – have become symbolically intertwined with American nationhood. Two thirds of Americans are not members of these groups, yet many recognize them as ethno-traditional: part of what makes the nation distinct. On the right, an ethno-traditional nationalism focused on protecting the white Anglo heritage is emerging as an important force in American politics. Culture is not ethnicity and the two have too often been conflated. Even if white culture remains the default mode, ethno-cultural decline may proceed apace. There are two separate ethno-cultural dynamics, white ethnic decline and the attenuation of the white tradition in American national identity. Only whites will be concerned with the former, but conservative-minded minorities may be attached to white ethno-traditions of nationhood. That is, they will wish to slow changes to the America ‘they know'. Where conservatives seek to preserve the status quo, which might be multiracial, authoritarians always prefer less diversity and dissent. Conservatives are not the same as authoritarians. For instance, authoritarians dislike inequality – a form of economic diversity – thus may find themselves on the left Electoral maps based on aggregate county results matched to census data offered the first snapshot of the social drivers of Trump, and it was apparent that education, not income, best predicted Trump success. Still, at first glance, maps reinforce stereotypes like the urban–rural divide. As with Brexit, income is correlated with education, but there are many wealthy people – think successful plumber – with few qualifications. Similarly, many resemble struggling artists, possessing degrees but little money. When you control for education, income has no effect on whether a white person voted for, or supports, Trump. Being less well-off produces an effect on Trump voting only when authoritarian and conservative values are held constant – and even then has a much smaller impact than values. Education is the best census indicator because it reflects people's subjective worldview, not just their material circumstances. Researchers find that teenagers with more open and exploratory psychological orientations self-select into university. This, much more than what people learn at university, makes them more liberal. Median education level offers a window onto the cultural values of a voting district, which is why it correlates best with Trump's vote share. In American exit polls, Trump won whites without college degrees 67–28, compared to 49–45 for whites with degrees. The changing racial demographics of America could permit the Democrats to consistently win first the presidential, then congressional, elections. Alternatively, the Republican establishment may be able to install a pro-immigration primary candidate. But is this a solution? With no federal outlet for white identity concerns or ethno-traditional nationalism, and with a return to policies of multiculturalism and high immigration which are viewed as a threat to these identities, it's possible the culturally conservative section of the US population could start viewing the government as an enemy. This is an old trope in American history and could pose a security problem. It is also how violent ethnic conflict sometimes ignites. For instance, the British-Protestant majority in Northern Ireland, where parties run on ethnic lines, meant Irish Catholics lost every election in the province between 1922 and the abolition of the Northern Ireland provincial government in 1972. This lack of political representation produced alienation which helped foment the civil war in 1969. What happens if rural and red-state America is permanently frozen out of power when it considers itself the repository of authentic Americanism? [EUROPE:] Liberals fought against the ‘normalization' of the far right, but with rising populist-right totals and coalition arithmetic pulling towards partnership it was only a question of time before the consensus gave way. The anti-racist norm against voting for the far right began to erode and centrist parties started adopting their policies. Elite obstruction may actually have contributed to an angrier anti-elite mood, recruiting yet more voters to the far-right banner. The anti-racist taboo against them has weakened but remains: more voters express strong anti-immigration views than are willing to vote far right.4 Yet, as I explain in chapter 9, the higher the populist right's vote share, the more the taboo erodes. This eases their path to a higher total when conditions permit, setting in motion a self-fulfilling spiral. Economic rationales frequently disguise underlying psychological drivers. For instance, in small opt-in samples on Prolific Academic, one group of white Republican voters scored the problem of ‘unchecked urban sprawl' a 51 out of 100, but another group of white Republicans who saw the question as ‘unchecked urban sprawl caused by immigration' scored it 74/100 (italics added for emphasis). Likewise, among a sample of white British Brexit voters, the problem of ‘pressure on council housing' scored a 47/100 but ‘immigrants putting pressure on council housing' was rated 68/100. In both cases, it logically cannot be the case that the immigration-driven portion of the problem of urban sprawl or pressure on council housing is more important than the problem itself. Thus what's driving opposition to immigration must be something prior to these material concerns. Likewise, the large-sample, representative British Election Study shows that concerns over the cultural and economic effects of immigration are tightly correlated. This suggests opposition to immigration comes first (Jonathan Haidt's unconscious ‘elephant' moves us to act) and various rationalizations like pressure on public services follow (Haidt's conscious ‘rider' telling us a story about why we acted as we did).17 But rationales matter. If a morally acceptable rationale is not there, this inhibits a party's ability to articulate its underlying anti-immigration grievances. This is why restrictionists tend to don the cloak of economic rationalization. The idea that the country has a traditional ethnic composition which people are attached to – what I term ethno-traditional nationalism – and which should not change too quickly, is viewed as beyond the limits of acceptable debate. This is a pity, because the ‘legitimate' arguments stigmatize minorities and are often racist in a way the ‘illegitimate' arguments about wanting to slow cultural loss are not. Only when the latter is taken to the extreme of wanting to bar certain groups or repatriate immigrants do they become racist. Rising diversity polarizes people by psychological outlook and reorients party platforms. As countries ethnically change, green parties move to capture cosmopolitan liberals and the populist right targets conservatives and authoritarians.88 While attitude liberalization did throw up cultural debates over religion, gay marriage and traditional values, these are on their way to becoming marginal in Europe as liberal attitudes attain mass acceptance. The legalization of drugs and the question of how best to address crime are live social issues, but neither promises the same radical transformation of society as ethnic change. Therefore it is ethno-demographic shifts which are rotating European societies away from a dominant left–right economic orientation to a globalist–nationalist cultural axis. The West is becoming less like homogeneous South Korea, where foreign policy and economic divisions dominate, and more like South Africa, where ethnicity is the main political division.89 When a regalizing order fails to make a charge of deviance stick, the norm begins to unwind, leading to a period of intense cultural contestation. Competing groups police norm boundaries and marginalize deviants who are seen to have violated their community's sacred values. I maintain we are currently in such a period, in which hegemonic liberal norms known as ‘political correctness' are being challenged by both populists and centrists, some of whom are trying to install new social norms, notably those defining Muslims and cosmopolitans as deviant. Fascism and socialism lost out after the Second World War, but what of the victor, liberalism? The Allies' victory did enlarge and protect the scope of negative liberty. But alongside this success a positive liberalism was smuggled in which advocated individuality and cosmopolitanism over community. Most, myself included, value individual autonomy, but one has to recognize that not all share this aim. Someone who prefers to wear a veil or dedicate their lives to religion is making a communitarian choice which negative liberalism respects but positive liberalism (whether of the modernist left or burqa-banning right) does not. Expressive individualism advocates that we channel our authentic inner nature, or what H. G. Wells or Henri Bergson termed our life force, unconstrained by tradition or reason. Aesthetically, it tended towards what the influential American sociologist Daniel Bell terms modernism, rejecting Christian or national traditions while spurning established techniques and motifs.22 Not only were traditions overturned but esteem was accorded to those whose innovations shocked sensibilities and subverted historic narratives and symbols the most. Clearly something happened between the nation-evoking historical and landscape painting of a Delacroix or Constable in the early nineteenth century and Marcel Duchamp's urinal of 1917. This ‘something' was the rise, after 1880, of what Bell terms modernism and Anthony Giddens calls de-traditionalization. For Bell, modernism is the antinomian rejection of all cultural authority. For Giddens, the shift is from a past- to a future-orientation and involves a decline in existential security.23 For Bell, modernism replaces contemplation of external reality and tradition with sensation and immediacy.26 The desire to seek out new and different experiences elevates novelty and diversity into cardinal virtues of the new positive liberalism. To favour tradition over the new, homogeneity over diversity, is to be reactionary. Left-modernism continually throws up new movements such as Surrealism or Postmodernism in its quest for novelty and difference. The shock of the new is accompanied by a cosmopolitan pastiche of borrowings from non-Western cultures, as with the Primitivism of Paul Gauguin. Yet there is a tension between the expressive-individualist and egalitarian strands of left-modernism. Gauguin, for example, who considered himself a cosmopolite defending Tahitian sexual freedom against the buttoned-down West, stands accused by the New Left of cultural appropriation, colonialism, orientalism and patriarchy. The social penetration of left-modernist ideas would take a great leap forward only in the 1960s as television and university education soared. In America, the share of 18- to 24-year-olds in College increased from 15 per cent in 1950 to a third in 1970. Given the large postwar ‘baby-boom' generation, this translated into a phenomenal expansion of universities. The growth of television was even more dramatic: from 9 per cent penetration in American homes in 1950 to 93 per cent by 1965.41 The New York, Hollywood and campus-based nodes in this network allowed liberal sensibilities to spread from a small coterie of aficionados to a wider public. Rising affluence may also have played a part in creating a social atmosphere more conducive to liberalism. All told, these ingredients facilitated a marked liberal shift across a wide range of attitudes measured in social surveys from the mid-1960s: gender roles, racial equality, sexual mores and religion – with the effects most apparent in the postwar Baby Boom generation.42 Since so much of the debate around the boundaries of the permissible revolves around racism, we need a rigorous – rather than political – definition of the concept. It's very important to specify clearly, using analytic political theory and precise terminology, why certain utterances or actions are racist. Only in this manner can we defend a racist taboo. I define racism as (a) antipathy to racial or pan-ethnic outgroups, defined as communities of birth; (b) the quest for race purity; or (c) racial discrimination which results in a violation of citizens' right to equal treatment before the law. The problem is that left-modernism has established racial inequality as an outrage rather than one dimension – and not generally the most important – of the problem of inequality. If racial inequality is one facet of inequality, it should be considered alongside other aspects such as income, health, weight or age. To focus the lion's share of attention on race and gender disparities entrenches ‘inequality privilege', wherein those who suffer from low-visibility disadvantages are treated less fairly than those who fit totemic left-modernist categories. A white male who is short, disabled, poor and unattractive will understandably resent the fact his disadvantage is downplayed while he is pilloried for his privilege. In effect, the 2010s represent a renewed period of left-modernist innovation, incubated by near-universal left–liberal hegemony among non-STEM faculty and administrators. Most academics are moderate liberals rather than radical leftists, but in the absence of conservative or libertarian voices willing to stand against left-modernist excess, liberal saturation reduced resistance to the japes of extremist students and professors. Social media and progressive online news acted as a vector, carrying the new left-modernist awakening off-campus much more effectively than was true during the first wave of political correctness of the late 1980s and 1990s. Angela Nagle finds that leftist radicalism emerged first, attracting a far-right response. One of the first to trace the emergence of this polarizing dynamic, she shows how, in left-modernist online chat groups, those who stake outlandish claims about white male oppression win moral and social plaudits. These in turn are lampooned by the alt-right, who leverage left-modernist excesses to legitimate blatant racism and sexism. This begins a cycle of polarizing rhetorical confrontation. Alt-right message boards adopt a playful countercultural style, emphasizing their rebellion against a stifling, puritanical-left establishment.11 Whereas bohemians like the Young Intellectuals of the 1910s and 1920s lauded African-American jazz and immigrant conviviality as a riposte to an uptight Prohibitionist Anglo-Protestant culture, the alt-right champions white maleness as a liberation from the strictures of the puritanical left. Hamid argues that being attached to an ethnic group and looking out for its interests is qualitatively different from hating or fearing outgroups. This is a distinction social psychologists recognize, between love for one's group and hatred of the other. As Marilyn Brewer writes in one of the most highly cited articles on prejudice: The prevailing approach to the study of ethnocentrism, ingroup bias, and prejudice presumes that ingroup love and outgroup hate are reciprocally related. Findings from both cross-cultural research and laboratory experiments support the alternative view that ingroup identification is independent of negative attitudes toward outgroups.54 If politics in the West is ever to return to normal rather than becoming even more polarized, white interests will need to be discussed. I realize this is very controversial for left-modernists. Yet not only is white group self-interest legitimate, but I maintain that in an era of unprecedented white demographic decline it is absolutely vital for it to have a democratic outlet. Marginalizing race puritanism is important, but muzzling relaxed versions of white identity sublimates it in a host of negative ways. For example, when whites are concerned about their decline but can't express it, they may mask their concern as worry about the nation-state. It's more politically correct to worry about Islam's challenge to liberalism and East European ‘cheap labour' in Britain than it is to say you are attached to being a white Brit and fear cultural loss. This means left-modernism has placed us in a situation where expressing racism is more acceptable than articulating racial self-interest. David Willetts, Minister of Education in David Cameron's Conservative government: The basis on which you can extract large sums of money in tax and pay it out in benefits is that most people think the recipients are people like themselves, facing difficulties which they themselves could face. If values become more diverse, if lifestyles become more differentiated, then it becomes more difficult to sustain the legitimacy of a universal risk-pooling welfare state. People ask, ‘Why should I pay for them when they are doing things I wouldn't do?' This is America versus Sweden. You can have a Swedish welfare state provided that you are a homogeneous society with intensely shared values. In the US you have a very diverse, individualistic society where people feel fewer obligations to fellow citizens. Progressives want diversity but they thereby undermine part of the moral consensus on which a large welfare state rests.62 trying to reconstruct our racial categories from above through politics may be as difficult as trying to get people to unlearn the primary colours. This doesn't mean categories can't evolve, but it suggests the process is complex, evolutionary and bottom-up. As the median racial type changes, the boundaries of whiteness may expand because people judge categories based on the average type they encounter. Hispanics, like the Italians before them, may become part of the ethnic majority in the not-too-distant future. Many white Americans currently view those with Spanish surnames or Hispanic features as outsiders. A majority of Hispanics see themselves as white, but only 6 per cent of Hispanics who identify as white say they are accepted as such by American society. Even among those with just one Latino grandparent, 58 per cent identify as Hispanic.43 Yet this may change with increased intermarriage, cultural assimilation and the arrival of more culturally distant groups. Already, lighter-skinned Hispanics are more likely to vote Republican or live in the same neighbourhoods as whites.44 As group lines are blurred by intermarriage, ethnic boundaries may shift: Ramirez may be considered an Anglo-American on a par with De Niro. Hispanic surnames are unlikely to be ‘counter-entropic' barriers to assimilation. This assimilation process is a major reason why the centre-left writer John Judis revised his thesis that America's changing demographics will automatically produce Democratic victories in the future.45 When the criteria for defining who is in or out of the majority change, whole chunks of the population who are not of mixed origin – like the fully Irish John F. Kennedy – suddenly become part of the ethnic majority. The analogy would be if fully Hispanic or Asian Americans came to be viewed as white. I deem this unlikely, given the proximity to Mexico and the established nature of the racial categories noted by Richard Dawkins. What seems more likely is that the high rate of intermarriage between Latinos and whites, as well as the rising share of native English-speakers, Protestants or seculars among them, may expand the boundaries of whiteness to include those of mixed parentage.

Today’s Scripture reading comes from Matthew 6:14-15, quoting from the NASB: “For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions.” Forgiveness is a choice. If my spouse does something that offends me, I can decide to be hurt, to rehearse the offense in my mind and to allow frustration, anger, and unforgiveness to set in. Conversely, if I keep my wits about me and follow Jesus’ instructions, I will choose to forgive and move on. Peter asked, “How often should I forgive?” Not knowing to forgive is not the issue; choosing to forgive hits at the heart of the struggle. Jesus instructs us not to withhold forgiveness, but to freely forgive. What about forgiveness in the workplace? Is forgiveness measured out by good or bad performance? Too many headlines read like this: Commander Jones was relieved of his duties because leaders lost confidence in his ability to effectively lead and perform assigned duties. There is no question leaders have a responsibility to uphold workplace performance standards and maintain good order and discipline. Consequences properly follow violations, but Jesus’ admonition to forgive also pertains to workplace justice. Marginalizing or devaluing one who has erred or denying such a one a path to restoration of workplace fellowship is not Christ’s brand of forgiveness. Leadership fosters growth out of genuine value placed on each person. It is best to let the mind of Christ guide workplace forgiveness and restoration acts. I almost erred by allowing a worker’s prior disciplined misstep to determine whether I would hire this person. A decision not to hire her would have meant that a less qualified person would have been selected for the position. As I asked the person about her previous infraction, she said to me, “At some point someone has to give me a chance.” The fact is, she had suffered the consequences several times over for her mistake, and I was in a position to make her pay once more. Forgiveness is a life restoring, healing act, extended in obedience to Jesus’ teachings and His examples. That hiring decision turned out to be one of my best actions as the worker became a highly responsible top performer. Whether in a personal relationship or in the workplace, Jesus’ admonition to forgive remains. As servant leaders, how we forgive and restore is a mark of obedience to Christ’s commands.   // Points to Ponder Over the next week, here are 3 points to ponder during your personal time of reflection or with a small group or mentor. First, turn anger and hot emotions over to God as an expression of godly character and with an earnest desire for the best for others. Second, do what God has instructed and trust Him for the results. Take every thought captive to the knowledge of Christ. Third, exercise responsible leadership by maintaining good order and discipline but refrain from devaluing one who has come under discipline.   // Monthly Evaluation It’s time for a quick monthly evaluation. Click here to download the monthly reflection sheet.

This conversation with Nathan LaFayette was not what I had planned.We never talked about his experience getting drafted 65th overall in 1991 by St. Louis.We never discussed the gold medal he won as a member of Canada’s 1993 World Junior Team.I never asked him what it was like to play with legendary leader Mark Messier in New York.Nathan had a tumultuous pro hockey career. He was traded 3 times, always bouncing between the minors and the Show, and he battled injuries and concussions, which ultimately ended his pro hockey career.But the conversation ended up centering on race and diversity and his experience as a BIPOC athlete in a predominately white environment.This conversation was poignant. Voices like Nathan’s need to be heard and I am grateful he chose to share his experience and perspective. The time for change is upon us and to move forward as a sport and a society we need to acknowledge the past, address the present and collaborate on the best avenues to move forward in the future.Nathan is currently SVP and Chief Insurance Officer at BCAA and has been in leadership executive positions since he left the game. He understands how high-performance cultures are created and built. He knows what promotes human thriving. Inclusive, diverse, and safe work places - whether those fields of play are office buildings or arenas -provide the highest engagement rates and therefore the greatest potential for team and individual success.Marginalizing people because of their skin color, sexual orientation, place of birth, or religious affiliation is not something we can tolerate on an individual or a collective level anymore.It starts with conversations like this one. We can’t all be at the NHL round table with the likes of Evander Kane, Gary Bettman, Matt Dumba and Nathan LaFayette, but we can do our part to engage in open discussion, to be empathetic, and to support change that is long overdue.Enjoy this episode. I hope it inspires you to share it and to spark discussions in your own inner circle.

Marginalizing our own people, apologizing for what? And who are the REAL “looters”

The human situation is way worse than we thought. But there’s hope in Jesus - if we’ll “glue” ourselves to Him.

Debbie and I watch the Today show some mornings. First, they get you up-to-date with all the bad things happening in the world, then they share some “good news” to keep you above water. This message with be a bit like the Today show First, a very dark and ominous reality Then the “morning boost,” some “good news” Ephesians 2:1-3 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. Paul, writing to the Christian believers in Ephesus, holds nothing back – you were dead! Not physically dead – soul separated from body But spiritually dead – spirit dead due to separation from God Dead people have no relation to God Dead people have distorted relations with each other Dead people are powerless to change And what killed them – sin The sin that permeated and controlled their lives when they: Followed their sinful nature that leaves God out of the picture And without God, desires are the lord in control Romans 1 describes lust and desires out of control Followed the ways of the world which are bodies of belief, cultures, patterns of influence (like advertising, media and social media), organizations, and world-wide systems Which either leave God out of the picture or are openly hostile to him Jesus has all authority in heaven and on earth (Matthew 28:18) But another power is also at work Followed the Ruler of the kingdom of the air – the heavenly places – the very real spiritual world John 14:30-31 I will not say much more to you, for the prince of this worldis coming. 1 John 5:19 We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one. Satan and the demons are both at work in disobedient people and through a world order over which they have power and influence And Paul says it’s not just the folks in Ephesus – it’s All of us – We all – also lived among them Paul’s concern is not that Christians once lived among the disobedient, but that they also lived like them All people are headed for an encounter with God’s wrath – God’s constant displeasure and reaction against sin Both his present wrath (John 3:36; Romans 1:18) And his future wrath (Romans 5:9; Ephesians 5:6) Dead – Disobedient – Destined for Wrath The picture the text paints is bleak. Because of sins, humans are the living dead. Okay, so here’s the problem. We don’t take this passage seriously. For the most part, we do not believe the picture of ourselves is as bad as Paul says. Are the lives we so carefully manage meaningless – a living death – without God in the picture? At first glance Paul’s description of life without Christ appears too harsh. Is everyone as degraded as he suggests? Does not life also have joy and happiness in it? Are there not many good, ethical people for whom this description does not fit? Is everyone destined for God’s wrath? Unfortunately, Paul’s estimate of humanity without God is NOT unduly harsh—we just tend to see it through a different lens. Our lens is typically very microscopic on our 32828 zipcode experience, rather than the more full and complete view of Paul (or things occurring 10 miles away) To grasp Paul’s perspective, we need only reflect on the evil in our own society, our suicide rate, our divorce rate, human trafficking escapism through alcohol, drugs and social media the challenges all of us experience as we face disease and injustice Well over one billion people live in dire poverty War and terrorism afflict people all over the world. But it’s not just “out there” or “those people.” I have spent years working with couples who argue, demean and mistreat one another and literally fight each other. And in the majority of cases each are adamant that they are “right” and are unwilling to try to understand the other one’s experience and feelings. From the seeds of two people who oppress one another sprout entire world systems of injustice Not just isolated, contemporary moments but decades, even centuries of oppression and violence – because prejudice, racism and marginalizing are ingrained in humanity The word ALL: All black people – all cops – all LGBT – all Chinese over Covid19 – all Jews – and on and on Sometime we are truly ignorant about such things; if so, God demands we get smart. Sometimes we just don’t want it to be true, so to us it is not. This text says we live in keeping with the world and its “ruler,” but we are deluded and deceived into believing that’s not true We tell ourselves we are not susceptible to peer pressure, that we do what we want, without ever asking what or who determines our wants. All of us are children of our time, and the truth is that our time is geared away from God and towards sin   And that incurs the wrath of God – which is another concept that some modern Christians view as archaic or inconsistent with a God of love. However, a third century theologian wrote that “he who does not get angry does not care.” If God can look at the sin and injustice in this world and not get angry, he is not much of a God! The God of the Bible is not some unmovable, unfeeling force, but a God who cares. The story of the Bible is the story of God himself taking action to keep his anger from destroying humanity. After the fall -- in the wilderness, with the sacrificial system -- with the prophets -- in the Exile and Return -- and most of all on the cross, God was at work dealing with his own anger and showing mercy. And just to clarify – Sometimes we have the impression that God is angry at humans but Jesus loves humans and gains God’s favor for us by dying on the cross. But the cross does not gain back God’s favor. Actually, God’s favor is the basis of Jesus’ death. Romans 5:8 reminds us that God demonstrated his love in sending Christ, while we were still sinners. Which brings us to the good news! Ephesians 2:4-10 4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. “But God” – the picture was bleak, but God acted because of his love and mercy. Mercy and love are revelations of God’s being, not a response to something that merits love in the individual. God is not an onlooker in the salvation process or in an “angry huff” waiting to be appeased. God is the primary actor, the one who by his love deals with his own wrath and shows mercy to his people. And it is mercy in abundance. We are alive God raised us up with Christ -- God creates life in the midst of death – our spirits are resurrected from death Seated with Christ Believers now have life with Christ, and with that life come privilege, honor, security and In the Heavenly realms Not heaven but in the very real spiritual reality around us where God’s wisdom is made known to the powers (3:10) and the place of battle with evil forces (6:12) In Christ Jesus To Paul, Christ’s death and resurrection are not merely events that produced benefit for believers They are events in which believers are included. We either live in sin and under its influence or in Christ and under his influence. And we are a present (in the real heavenly world) and eternal display of God’s grace. Saved by grace The tense of the word in the Greek points to a past event and its continuing results. Salvation is viewed here are something that has occurred and is currently experienced by those who are in Christ Grace means the completely undeserved, loving commitment of God to us. For some reason we will never understand, but is rooted in his nature, God gives himself to us, attaches himself to us, and acts to rescue us. The initiative always lies only and completely with him. Faith Describes the means by which salvation is appropriated. Christians are saved by grace, not by their faith. Faith is the only means by which grace is received. Faith cannot be limited to mental assent or to believing certain ideas. Faith is relational, describing the reliance on a reliable God. Faith is a covenant word, expressing the commitment and trust that bind two parties together. Paul’s frequent use of phrases such as “with Christ” and “in Christ” show his conviction that faith joins them to Jesus Christ so strongly that they are in him and that what is true of him is true of them. Faith has an adhesive quality to it; it binds the believer to the one who is believed. Salvation does not come from believing ideas or an emotional decision, but from being bound to Christ This is not of yourselves Here, “this” is neuter whereas “faith” is a feminine noun. “This” most likely refers to the whole process of God’s saving people by grace. Not by works – any human condition or accomplishment by which one thinks to gain status or privilege before God. In reality, nothing we do grants standing with God. Praise should only go to God. The only legitimate boasting is in what God has done (1 Cor 1:31) We are God’s workmanship We are the result of his activity. The New Testament assumes that God’s act in Christ is parallel to creation itself. Who is “we”? Be careful not to define that word just in terms of ourselves. The purpose of God’s creative activity is not merely to have a work of art to hang near his throne. Rather, this new creation is to be active and productive and like the Creator. When the early Christians tried to describe Jesus and his work, they did not merely describe him as an individual to whom certain things happened. They saw him as the beginning of a new order, as a new Adam heading up a new race. Consequently, they no longer saw themselves merely as individuals, but as individuals taken up in and involved with Jesus. “Black Lives Matter” is a familiar phrase/ But let me share a different phrase based on this passage: “Dead People Matter” How do we know? Because God showed unmeasurable grace and mercy to people dead in their sins While dead people were will sinning, Jesus died for us At the judgment seat of Christ all colors of the humanity will gather But there will be only two groups of people – alive or dead For those who are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus, there are “good works” to be done Of first importance is sharing the message of life with the dead If the dead cannot hear us because of the noise of injustice and the cry for justice, we need do something to first quiet the noise And, God forbid, if we are the source of the noise, we need to repent This is the real war going on – and it is not black and white It is right and wrong, justice and injustice, love and hate For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. (Eph 6:12) One more thing and then I am done Faith – lost in translation We – especially we who lead – need to be clear about what faith means in this passage (and the rest of the New Testament) and faith in the modern world Paul’s understanding of “faith” includes attachment, union, and solidarity with Christ To much of the modern church “faith” means assent, decision, or the teachings one affirms and embraces. Paul thought “faith” is life-changing and productive of good deeds For much of the church, change is desirable with faith, but not necessary, and “not by works” means one does not have to do anything. A decision, the right prayer prayed, is enough to go to heaven. How did faith in Jesus get perverted into simply thinking about Jesus? How did all the focus get placed on getting into heaven? How can anyone read the New Testament and conclude we do not have to do anything? Faith joins us to Christ and affects the whole reality of our lives. [the Glue illustration] This passage contrasts two ways of living, the former life in sins and the present life in Christ. By implication the text asks, “Where will you live?” Paul tells what life in the world is really like and this is what life with God is really like. The focus is identity. Who are we and who is God? From knowing who we are, we know how to live. If one lives in sin, one’s identity is determined by sin, the old world order, and the “ruler of the kingdom of the air.” Such a person is controlled by sinful desires and reasonings and, consequently, lives under the wrath of God. And it is bigger than the individual and the choices one makes. There is a world order and a power of evil. How did the United States become so distorted with racism? Why does materialism have such a deep grip on modern society? How do cravings become needs? How does sexual practice become idolatrous? The good is distorted by a world system that leaves God out of the picture, which is what sin always does. Sin is personal, individual, and corporate (Nehemiah) The problem for Christians is that two overlapping realms or ages exist. Though a new age exists in Christ, the old age is still with us and at work. Which realm will define us? Paul attempts to describe what was formerly true, but for many Christians that is still their reality. A break with the past has not really occurred. Christians need to be much more aware that the old order still wants to define who we are. Our true identity is not determined by personal characteristics, experiences, and abilities, even though those items are important. It is determined by life in and with Jesus Christ. To be in and with Christ means that ours is not longer an individual identity. We are in solidarity with Christ. Life is relational, and our primary relation is with Jesus. Our true identity – Glued to Jesus   Here are my challenges to us today: Let’s look for the opportunities God is already orchestrating to share life with a dead person Let’s ask the Lord to clearly reveal to us if we are in any way contributing to making sure a dead person stays dead If you are dead and want to learn more about being made alive, text “life” to 407-559-8210 We are simply not going to agree with everyone; in fact, I am pretty confident that some listening today don’t agree with everything I’ve said this morning.

In this episode of Leading by History, Education Specialist Ma'asehyahu Isra-Ul addresses the current world of education in the United States which marginalizes history/social science (the social studies) in favor of other core content areas to the harm of K-12 students. History has been given "a bad rap" because of high-stakes testing which has forced history teachers to focus on dates and names - teaching broader and not deeper. This lack of critical pedagogy has harmed a generation of students who graduate without the ability to understand context, varying perspective, cause and consequence etc. If you want to understand the importance of history and why you need to support its instruction...this is an episode you do NOT want to miss! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/leadingbyhistory/support
