If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. www.InsightGlobal.com/LearningLeader My guest: PJ Fleck is the head football coach at the University of Minnesota. Before that, he transformed Western Michigan from one win to 13 wins and a Cotton Bowl appearance. Before his coaching days, PJ was a stud receiver at Northern Illinois and was a guy I played against in college. Coach Fleck has built one of college football's most distinctive culture-driven programs. You'll hear why he maintains an 80-20 split favoring high school recruiting over the transfer portal, how he runs practice with a 32-second clock to make it harder than games, and why he sees himself as a cultural driver rather than a motivational coach. This is a conversation recorded with all of our coaches inside "The Arena." That is our mastermind group for coaches in all sports. And it did not disappoint. Notes: Stop recruiting, start selecting. PJ doesn't chase the highest-rated players... He looks for fit and alignment with his values. Ask yourself: Are you trying to convince people to join your team, or are you selecting people who already want what you're building? Efficiency beats duration. PJ runs 95-minute practices with a 32-second play clock, always moving, always intense. The principle: Make practice harder than the game. Where in your work are you confusing time spent with intensity and focus? Internal drive trumps external motivation. PJ calls his ideal players "Nektons," always attacking, never satisfied. He's looking for people who prove their worth to themselves, not to others. If you need constant external motivation, you're not ready for elite teams. A leader must teach and demand. A team member must prepare and perform. These aren't opposing forces—they're two sides of the same commitment to excellence. My junior year at Ohio University. I was the quarterback of the Ohio football team. We lost to No. 17 Northern Illinois 30-23 in overtime on a Saturday night. P.J. Fleck caught the game-tying 15-yard touchdown pass late in the fourth quarter. PJ finished with 14 catches for 235 yards and a touchdown. (I threw a 30-yard TD pass to Anthony Hackett to put us up a TD right before halftime). Let your team see you played. They do"Guess that Gopher" before team meetings, where players guess which coach's highlights they're watching. Give them a peek behind the curtain. It builds credibility and connection. PJ honors his mentor, Jim Tressel, by wearing a tie while coaching. Who are you honoring through your daily practices? Keep your door open. PJ has no secretary. Players can walk into his office at any moment. Create fluidity between you and your team. Transparency after tragedy is a choice. When PJ's son died from a heart condition, he had two options: never talk about it again, or let it shape him. He chose radical transparency, knowing it would get scrutinized. That's where "Row the Boat" comes from. A losing season reveals what you actually need. After going 1-11 at Western Michigan while also getting divorced, PJ says every coach should experience a losing season. It forces you to identify what you actually need versus what you don't need. Choose what scares you. When deciding on Minnesota, Heather asked him, "Does this scare you?" He said, "Hell yeah, it scares me." His response: "Well then, that's where we're going." Life versus living. Living is the salary and contract. Life is about moments and memory. If you can't stay in the moment and reflect on great moments or hard moments, life will be like mashed potatoes to you. Your expectations should match your resources. The gap between expectations and resources is called frustration. The bigger the gap, the more frustration from everyone around you. Maintain an 80/20 model if you can. 80% high school players, 20% transfer portal. PJ has one of the highest retention rates in the country because of selection and fit, not recruiting. "It's not about the money until it's about the money." The kids' PJ gets value for other things before the money talk. They enjoy the experience of being a college athlete. PJ leads with "I'm really difficult to play for." PJ's opening line to recruits. He asks for a lot. This makes people who are lazy, complacent, or fraudulent run like hell. "This is going to expose me." Start with good people, not good players. Out of 500 kids, who are the best 25 young men? PJ doesn't get five stars. He gets two and three stars who believe they can be five stars. A chip versus a crack on your shoulder. Once you do something the media says you couldn't do, they'll set a new bar. All PJ wants is kids who want to prove to themselves that they can do what people say they couldn't. You don't need PJ's personality. You need the internal drive to be the best version of yourself. That's what he's selecting for. "I'm not a motivational coach. I'm a cultural driver." PJ picks their "how." He picks their journey. If someone needs constant motivation, they're not ready. Peel back the Instagram filter. Everything you see on social media is filtered. You have to dig deeper with this generation to find out who they really are. Hire former players back. PJ's staff has more former players who played for him than ever before. They cut their teeth in the building. In this transactional era, former players help you stay transformational. The HYPRR System. This is PJ's hyperculture framework he created after going 1-11: H (How): The people. Nektons who always attack. How you do one thing is how you do everything. Consistency matters. Y (Yours): Your vision. It's YOUR life, not anyone else's vision. Players are the builders. Don't tell me you want an extravagant home and then hire bad builders. P (Process): The work. The who, what, when, where, and why. Anyone should be able to ask those questions at any point. R (Result): Focus on the HYP. It's not the officials' fault. It's not the other team's fault. R (Response): How will you respond to the result? Don't believe the hype. Everything about hype is before the result happens. Focus on How, Yours, and Process instead. Someone will take what you were taught was horrible and create a business model. PJ uses Uber and Airbnb as examples. We were taught "stranger danger" as kids. Now we get in cars with strangers while drunk and sleep in their homes. The right people plugged into crazy visions can change everything. Define success as peace of mind. That's how PJ's program defines success. Not wins and losses. Train body language. "Big chest" means standing up straight. Players are not allowed to put their hands on their knees or their heads. If you can't hold yourself up, trainers need to check on you. Teach response, not reaction. You can have emotions, but train to not be emotional. The real world wants to see you react. Train to respond properly in every situation. Your words have power. PJ's players know the definitions of 150 words that will help them for the rest of their lives. Give substance to the filters. That's your job as an educator. Cut all the fat off practice. PJ was from the era of 3.5-hour practices. He has ADD and needs to move. He got bored as a player, so he vowed to run practice differently. Run a 32-second play clock constantly. Every 32 seconds, you run a play. You are always under the two-minute warning in practice. This trains your team to operate under pressure. Never practice longer than 95 minutes. It's one thing to watch as a recruit. It's another to experience it as a player. Kids puke during dynamic warmup in the first week because it's that intense. Make practice harder than the game. The game will eventually slow down for your players if practice is legitimately harder. Nektons flow through water currents without being affected. Don't let circumstances dictate behavior. Train this mindset daily. The biggest jump in sports is from high school to college. 17-year-olds playing against 24-year-olds. It's not just talent. It's experience, development, strength, and confidence all at once. Never let any environment be too big for your coaches. Train your staff to be comfortable in all situations, not just your players. Always be learning outside your field. PJ attends leadership seminars with SEALs and Green Berets. At one dinner, a retired military officer who looked like Sean Connery scanned the room quietly, then said: "I'm taking in all the good in the room. I'm also coming up with a plan to kill every one of you, in case I need to." He never came back to the table because he got called to active duty and left for Afghanistan. Always be ready. That's what makes you special. Watch to learn. PJ watched "Landman" and took notes on how to run the next team meeting. His wife hates that he can never relax. Find teaching and education in everything you do. When you stop, you stop growing. Get better at celebrating. PJ has a great bourbon and champagne collection. He celebrates more than he ever has. Balance the intensity with moments of joy. Make transformational programs real. Gopher for Life program. Monthly educational courses. Monthly date nights where players bring their dates and learn dinner etiquette. Monthly racial education class. Weekly coach development on Thursdays, where coaches speak on any topic to advance their careers. Don't let important things stop when the news cycle moves on. COVID and racism got put in the same bracket. When COVID stopped, racism education stopped everywhere. Not at Minnesota. Keep going. Bring back the fun. After wins, players can't wait to pick the design for the next team shirt. PJ gives them five options, and they get into it. People are losing the fun connection that made elementary school great. A coach's job is to teach and demand. A player's job is to prepare and perform. If you're a coach, you better be teaching things: life, sport, relationships. Elite teams are led by players. Your job is to get as many elite people to the front of the bus as possible.

Jackson for a long-form conversation about Martin Luther King Jr. and why his legacy still provokes such strong emotional and political reactions. Chad is an independent filmmaker and researcher whose work returns to primary sources and overlooked voices, and that lens shapes everything we talk about here.He recently participated in an MLK debate that ran for hours, creating space for historical context instead of sound bites and patience instead of performative rebuttals. That debate opens the door into a much larger conversation about history, memory, and how certain narratives become culturally untouchable.We dig into how the Civil Rights Movement is taught, celebrated, and reinforced from an early age, often without room for deeper examination. Chad draws from archival research, period publications, and primary documents, showing how interpretation influences public memory just as much as the facts themselves.This episode is for listeners who value critical thinking and aren't afraid to sit with uncomfortable questions.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[08:52] What triggered Chad to investigate the MLK narrative[17:13] Challenging northern propaganda about slavery[27:40]  Life for black Americans prior to the Civil Rights Movement[44:45] King's upbringing: born into wealthy black elite family, Daddy King's social gospel, and rejecting Christ's divinity by age 12[01:03:13] Why both the FBI and communists wanted the civil rights movement [01:09:38] The aftermath of the Civil Rights Movement [01:17:03] The MLK docuseries structure[01:34:42] The century-long project to separate blacks from Western civilization[01:49:41] Why classism is just another victimization trap[02:08:55] How hip hop culture has negatively impacted the black community[02:22:40] Malcom X and the Civil Rights Movement[02:42:02] The notion that fascism is a reaction to hyper liberalismResources Mentioned:Hatred and Profits: Getting Under the Hood of the Ku Klux Klan by Fryer G.

When people think of sit-ins, they think Greensboro. But the movement didn't start, or stop, there. This episode looks at how the 1960 Greensboro sit-ins inspired Atlanta's Black college students to challenge segregation in a city that called itself “too busy to hate.” From An Appeal for Human Rights to coordinated sit-ins across downtown, arrests under newly written laws, and the protests that landed Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in jail. Atlanta's Student Movement reshaped the civil rights fight and even influenced a presidential election. Want to support this podcast?

How the Elite Consoled Jeffrey Epstein Over His Crimes.A Revolt Inside Paul Weiss Over the Epstein Files Took Down Brad KarpOn Wednesday, an exclusive group of 10 or so Paul Weiss partners met unbeknown to their longtime chairman, Brad Karp, to discuss whether he could continue to lead the law firm.The partners, who manage the firm and refer to themselves as the “Deciding Group,” were grappling with the release of new emails suggesting Karp had a more extensive relationship with Jeffrey Epstein than they realized, including in the months before the convicted sex offender's death. Karp led one of the country's biggest law firms for 18 years and had survived a maelstrom less than a year ago when he struck a first-of-its-kind settlement with President Trump on his firm's behalf. He wouldn't survive a second controversy as the firm's leader.

Lucas issued Charge No. 551-2024-04996, alleging that Respondent NIKE may have violated Title VII “by engaging in a pattern or practice of disparate treatment against White employees, applicants, and training program participants in hiring, promotion, demotion, or separation decisions (including selection for layoffs); internship programs; and mentoring, leadership development, and other career development programs.”This is crazy to me: EEOC counsel signatory GWENDOLYN YOUNG REAMS - a black woman who signed off on this lawsuit was the subject of an entire article on the amazing power of Title VII for the civil rights movement in July of 2024. Reams has been at EEOC since 1972, and Biden made her acting general counsel.Trump took over, appointed Andrea Lucas as chair who DEMOTED Reams to Associate General Counsel to make room for Catherine Eschbach, a Federalist Society who has SIX YEARS EXPERIENCE AT A LAW FIRM who got her Bachelor's in 2010 and her law degree in 2015 (a whole 10 years experience!), but had this to say upon her appointment: “President Trump made clear in his executive order on eliminating DEI that EO 11246 had facilitated federal contractors adopting DEI practices out of step with the requirements of our Nation's civil rights laws and that, with the rescission of EO 11246, the President mandates federal contractors wind those practices down within 90 days. As director, I'm committed to carrying out President Trump's executive orders, which will restore a merit-based system to provide all workers with equal opportunity.”All the other lawyers signing were white, and I can only guess Reams had no choice but to sign unless she decided to do MLK dirty 60 years after seeing him in collegeBut literally, the EEOC discriminated against a black lawyer who was in charge to put white lawyers in charge to bring discrimination cases against companiesNOT TO MENTION, here is Nike's workforce composition in 2024:57% white, 50% male overall65% white, 55% males for management77% white, 62% male for leadershipThe EEOC workforce demographics as of 2022, when it was WOKEST:60% white, 56% maleNIKE IS WHITER THAN THE EEOC FROM MANAGEMENT UPBlackrock and every Wall Street bank that quit Net Zero AllianceRather than sticking it out and fighting, knowing that you were correct and legally able to invest however you wanted and associate with anyone you wanted, you all cowered when Texas passed the first law saying you “discriminate against” fossil fuels and generated an arbitrary “black list”Now, this: Texas anti-ESG law declared unconstitutional by US judgeIn a decision made public on Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Alan Albright said the law violated First Amendment free-speech protections because it punished businesses for speaking about fossil fuels and associating with organizations that oppose fossil fuels.First Amendment! The very first one! You didn't even have to read ALL the amendments to figure out which Stewardship whiningThe UK Investment Association stewardship working group, a group that included Aegon, BlackRock, Fidelity, M&G, Schroders, Artemis, CCLA, Legal and General, and Royal London Asset Management, put out a paper: Realigning Stewardship: Delivering sustainable value through StewardshipThe group wants you to know some things about stewardship, specifically:Stuff happening in the future is too far away for us to care now: “The need for realism over what stewardship can achieve – There are potential time horizon trade-offs between achieving real world outcomes on sustainability themes such as climate change and delivering financial returns to clients. These trade-offs need to be actively considered. Additionally, there are concerns that targeted sustainability goals may not always be realistic, and that government and other stakeholders may have developed unrealistic expectations of stewardship's capacity to deliver systemic change.”Translation: if we actually invested for climate and were stewards of climate in our portfolios given that climate change will totally fuck up everything we know and invest in, we'd have to give up on, like, AI and oil and stuff… we can't really do that because there's too much money and stonks and rockets and whatever, so we'll give up on climate, but just like, for NOW, later we'll fix it by asking nicelyDespite historically having voted 96% in favor of virtually EVERYTHING: “There is an undue focus on voting as a barometer of good stewardship, which does not reflect the role of all stewardship mechanisms.”Translation: we get no credit for talking about this for a decade and voting for everything - like, NONE. Stewardship teams are seen as cost centers, not alpha generation. But we should get credit for talking about stuff in the hopes that things change over a long period of time.We are poor: “There are different costs associated with the process of stewardship for both investors and companies, who have finite resources.”Translation: I mean, PLENTY of resources for CEO pay that outstrips inflation and massive AI investments to displace workers and stuff, but you know… poor.OMG, stop whining… the vote IS THE MECHANISM YOU'VE NEVER USED! Your owners WANT YOU TO and you vote with management at a higher rate than people in the US believe in the moon landing!Headliniest of the WeekDR: The meritocracy is officially a lie: Elon Musk's hiring advice: 'Don't look at the résumé — just believe your interaction'DR: It's official, we are right about everything: Disney's Bob Iger achieves an essential feat for outgoing CEOs: giving his successor a clean slateMM: Hillary Clinton wants testimony on Jeffrey Epstein in public: 'Let's stop the games'MM: My neighborhood is pushing back against sidewalk delivery robots.

It's racism of the highest order.PredictionsDR: The best we can hope for are shareholder derivative lawsuits against boards who failed to oversee the "reputational risk” of their Epstein tech bro directors and CEOs. MM: When I saw this: Elon Musk says it's hard to convince engineers with families to move to SpaceX's 'technology monastery' in Texas, it was clear: Elon Musk will re-reincorporate SpaceX in a really nice suburb somewhere near or around San Francisco in an effort to re-re-rehire talent (who may actually have families), after which a single white man who moved to Texas to join SpaceX will sue the company for discrimination against single white men who move to Texas, forcing Musk to re-re-reincorporate in Texas again.

In this episode, we're joined by author and poet Too Black to unpack his essay "Nonviolence is violence, too: Somebody's gotta die," and to challenge the comforting myths that often surround "nonviolent" struggle. We dig into what he means by the claim that nonviolence is never actually bloodless, why he prefers the term "sacrificial violence," and how nonviolent movements frequently gain leverage precisely because an opponent supplies the repression that shocks the public, shifts legitimacy, and forces concessions. Along the way, we talk through the research Too Black draws on including Erica Chenoweth's work on lethal repression, and we explore his core metaphors and case examples, from confronting power like "poking a bear over honey" to the method-independent brutality of settler colonialism in Palestine. At the heart of our conversation is a deep dialectic between Martin Luther King Jr. and Frantz Fanon, and how both frameworks, in different ways, move through violence as an unavoidable terrain of liberation. For King, suffering becomes the redemptive path, a willingness to absorb brutality to expose evil and transform the political and spiritual situation. For Fanon, revolutionary violence itself is the redemptive force, the route through which the colonized reclaim dignity, agency, and self-respect. We close by asking what this reframing means for organizers today: if rights require enforcement and "dramatizing evil" often demands real sacrifice, how should movements talk about nonviolence honestly and strategically in the world as it actually is?

In this episode of Youth Ministry Unscripted, Josh, Danny, Isaiah, and Becca dive into the often-overlooked legacy of Black Christians in church history. As Black History Month invites the church to celebrate diversity in God's kingdom, the hosts explore why many faithful Black voices remain hidden from mainstream narratives—and what youth pastors can do about it. From early church fathers in North Africa to the American civil rights era, this conversation challenges us to broaden our understanding of church history and elevate voices that have long been sidelined. Listeners will walk away encouraged to disciple their students with a deeper awareness of the global, multicultural body of Christ—and equipped with practical ideas for building more inclusive youth ministries.  Resources and MentionsTalking to Your White Kids About Black History Month - Rooted MinistryRelational Discipleship in the Black Church - Rooted Ministry  Richard Allen – Founder of the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) ChurchLemuel Haynes – First ordained African American minister in the U.S.Howard Thurman – Theologian and mentor to Martin Luther King Jr.Fannie Lou Hamer – Voting rights activist and devout ChristianJames Cone – Father of Black Liberation Theology; The Cross and the Lynching TreeThe Edmondson Center (at RTS Atlanta) – Recommended by Becca for their year-long certificate program on church history and theology (directed by Karen & Carl Ellis)Bus Ride to Justice – Isaiah's experiential trip with students to key civil rights locations (Birmingham, Montgomery, Selma, Tuskegee)Follow @therootedministry on Instagram for more updates!Follow and subscribe to Youth Ministry Unscripted wherever you listen to podcasts.

Craig Ciccone is a independent historian who has spent much of his time understanding and researching political assassinations such as JFK, RFK, MLK and Fred Hampton. This episode will discuss the three assassinations Craig has been researching and what has him continuing his research and advocation of justice for these unfortunate deaths.

Eddie Schwartz is the definition of a "songwriter's songwriter." While you might not recognize his face in a crowd, you have definitely screamed his lyrics at a karaoke bar, in your car, or at a stadium. As the man behind Pat Benatar's "Hit Me with Your Best Shot," he didn't just write a song; he wrote an anthem for an entire generation.  We chat with Eddie about all things music and here some amazing stories from over 40 years in the music industry.  A great listen.   We also completely go off the rails as usual as Mike feuds with Sydney Sweeney and defends Kanye, Scott must play a game called MLK Timecop, and Mike fails to let to let the audience know what he was doing for an entire episode.  Have a listen!

DateFebruary 1, 2026SynopsisIn this sermon, we continue our series, Building the Beloved Community: A Blueprint from Dream to Reality, by diving into the structural integrity of the 'frame.' We move past the foundation of 'somebodiness' to see how the prophet Micah's call reveals the essential, non-negotiable components: to do justice, embrace hesed (faithful love), and walk humbly with God. These three elements are the core beams and joists of a life of faith, ensuring that your efforts do not collapse into self-righteousness, cheap charity, or burnout, so the Beloved Community you're building can actually bear weight.ReferencesScripture: Micah 6:1–8About The Local ChurchFor more information about The Local Church, visit our website.

February 1st is the 66th anniversary of the Greensboro sit-ins where four African-American student sat in at a Woolworth's, suffering abuse from white racist patrons and eventually jail. Those actions launched the student sit-in movement to end segregation and led to over 70,000 people participating, including civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King, John Lewis, Bayard Rustin and many others. It also led to the formation of the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee and modern civil rights movement. In our latest, Bob and Scott talk about anniversary of the sit-ins and then discuss it in the context of today's movement resisting Trump and ICE in Minneapolis and communities across the country. -------------------------------

This episode challenges the term "nonviolence," proposing that movements for social and political change often succeed by relying on the opponent's violence. We introduce the concept of sacrificial violence: the intentional absorption of an opponent's brutality to gain strategic concessions, a topic explored in the article "Nonviolence is Violence, Too: Somebody's Gotta " written by BMP host Too Black. The discussion analyzes historical actions like the Freedom Rides and the Albany Movement, drawing on the work of figures such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Mahatma Gandhi, and political scientist Erica Chenoweth. It explores the idea that confronting established power inevitably results in conflict and, often, violence.

In 1969, a group of Morehouse College students held the Board of Trustees hostage for two days. They demanded reforms to the curriculum and overall improvement to student life. One of the hostages was Martin Luther King, Sr. One of these students was Samuel L. Jackson.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

BACK WITH A FULLY LOADED EPISODE!

I believe we will look back at this time in our countries history as either one of the worst or as historially significant for positive change. Which way it goes will depend on leadership that finds their voices of reason. Ghandi, Lincoln, Mandela, MLK, Susan B. Anthony. What they all had in common is they all wanted justice. Justice for people they knew deserved it, but it did not come with a desire for the detruction of the other side. If we want the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti to not be in vain, the true recalibration in the country needs to be away from hateful demonizing and back to objective problem solving. Partial shutdowns, abolishing ICE, defunding DHS, ICE raids targeting people with no pending criminal charges all will just ensure the chaos continues.

What Can Christians Do and Will It Work?   In this episode of the Good Faith Podcast, Curtis Chang and David French name what's happening to American democracy right now: "Dual State America," where life feels normal—until the Trump administration's lawless prerogative power snaps into place. From the Renee Good case to Orwellian spin and rising political violence, they trace how authoritarianism spreads by redefining reality and daring ordinary people not to resist. French's gut-check: stop waiting for someone else to save the country—do something your grandkids will recognize as courage.   02:40 - What Is The "Dual State"? 06:25 - What Does The Renee Good Shooting Show Us? 11:03 - Potential For Resistance and Change 15:32 - The Dangers of Rotating Elected Authoritarians  20:03 - The "Gradually, Then Suddenly" Collapse 24:30 - What Can Individuals Do? 35:31 - The Risk and Uncertainty of Action 37:10 - Embracing Faithfulness Over Effectiveness 47:27 - Christians and The Integrity of Words 47:58 - What Sustains David French?   More about the Religious Landscape Study pewresearch.org/rls   Register for the Illuminate Arts + Faith Conference   Sign up for the Good Faith Newsletter     Mentioned In This Episode: David French: An Old Theory Helps Explain What Happened to Renee Good Ernst Frenkel's The Dual State: A Contribution To The Theory Of Dictatorship (pdf) Ernst Frenkel's Legal Sabotage: Ernst Fraenkel in Hitler's Germany Rev.

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk about what it feels like to be alive in a world that seems like it's on fire - the grief, fear, anger, overwhelm and helplessness so many people are carrying.I connect the dots between abusive power and how those in power benefit from keeping us exhausted, distracted, and in despair.I also remind us that “they've always killed the helpers” - from Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr. to the modern-day helpers in the streets - and why that makes our presence and courage even more necessary, not less.We talk about nervous system regulation, breathing practices, EFT / Tapping, “rest as resistance”, spiritual practices, and Stoic principles like focusing on what is and isn't in our control.I share practical tools for resourcing ourselves so we can be effective helpers instead of burned-out bystanders and I walk through simple ways to calm your body and mind - so you're not operating from fear, but from a more grounded, loving, and powerful place.I wrap things up by inviting you to honestly explore your role and capacity: Are you an ally, an advocate, or an activist? Are you a citizen, reformer, rebel, or change agent?Mostly, I encourage you to ask yourself about your unique talents, experience, and gifts and how they might be used for good right now - “What can I actually do with who I am,, what I know, and what I have?”Whether that's speaking up, donating, organizing, making phone calls, creating art, caring for your neighbors, or quietly holding space.At the heart of it all is a spiritual call: “Please use me. May I be in service to love.” ❤️KAREN KENNEY BIO:Karen Kenney is a certified Spiritual Mentor, Writer, Podcaster and Coach.

Tonight Dan Riddle and Adam give a nice recap of not only how cold it is all over the country but also all the fun we had during this year's MCGcon over MLK weekend. A ton of games played and our usual assortment of Banter. Thanks for listening!

Martin Luther King, Jr. famously demanded to be judged on the content of his character, not the color of his skin. But with 36+ affairs, Marxist views, and "the tape" being released next year, the only reason to keep celebrating MLK Day seems to be his skin color! Kevin and Bill suggest some worthy alternatives who were true national heroes — but also ask: should we dedicate a federal holiday to any particular person at all?

In the 1970s, Senator Frank Church, a Democrat from Idaho, stuck his neck out–unlike members of Congress today–to take on the real deep state–the FBI and CIA carrying out LSD mind-control experiments on Americans, terrorizing activists, and committing assassinations with the mafia, including against witnesses. The Church Committee Report, based on real Congressional investigations, not just performative show trials, shows us how to confront and dismantle the lawless, mass-murdering MAGA regime.  Historians Matthew Guariglia, a senior policy analyst at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and Brian Hochman, the Hubert J. Cloke Endowed Director of the American Studies Program at Georgetown University, are out with the definitive account, The Church Committee Report: Revelations from the Bombshell 1970s Investigation into the National Security State. They walk us through the decades of U.S. presidents of both major parties allowing a surveillance state to expand, running dangerous operations against the American people. The most chilling legacy is not the cartoonish villainy of poison darts and imperial assassinations, but the insidious cruelty of undermining activists. So pay attention. Don't let anyone–even a well-meaning ally–weaponize purity tests to gatekeep the Fourth American Revolution. Stopping the MAGA threat requires all of us building together in coalition. Based on the Church Committee's own findings, we know exactly what tools the FBI and CIA use to dismantle movements. They have very specific, terrifyingly effective strategies to divide and conquer We the People.  Here is what they do when they want to destroy a movement from the inside out: Snitch Jacketing: This is psychological warfare. They plant false information–maybe they leave a map or a weapon in an activist's car–specifically to make you think your friend is a police informant. They leverage paranoia to make us eat our own. Fabricated Dissent: They create fake zines, fake newsletters, and fake correspondence to manufacture feuds between groups. They want the anti-war movement fighting the labor movement so neither fights the state. The "Friendly" Infiltrator: Watch out for the guy who shows up out of nowhere with coffee and too many questions. They send plainclothes agents into our resilience communities to map our networks and identify leaders and how they operate. Entrapment: They find an "easy mark" in a group, push them toward violence, then arrest everyone for a plot the FBI invented. They manufacture terrorism. The "Suicide" Strategy: J. Edgar Hoover's FBI sent a letter to Martin Luther King Jr., threatening to expose his private life and pressuring him to kill himself. They try to break you psychologically so that you back down and disappear. According to historians Guariglia and Hochman, activists under siege were aware of the threats long before the Church Committee exposed them, and developed resilience strategies we can learn from today:  Reject the "All-Powerful" Myth: Don't give a lawless regime a bigger shadow than it actually has–that is what they want: to live inside your head. When you start believing the government is an all-knowing, all-powerful shadow monster, you are doing their work for them. Paranoia is a tool of the oppressor.  Build a Culture of Care: The only way snitch-jacketing works is if we don't know each other. Build deep, resilient relationships. When we take care of each other, their wedges don't work. Sousveillance (Watch from Below): Do not rely on police body cams; those tapes have a magical habit of being turned off when they're needed. Film everything. Control the narrative with your own evidence, eyes, and ears. Divest from Big Tech: Google, Amazon, and Apple are regime collaborators. We need to build our own infrastructure from high-tech mesh networks to low-tech zines. If you rely on the master's tools, they will shut you down, as we're seeing now with TikTok's mass-censorship under the new owners–MAGA donors, the Ellisons. Get Educated: Practice tech hygiene. Go to the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and use their Surveillance Self-Defense guide. Learn how to encrypt, what to carry, and how to stay safe. We're fighting a generational struggle, but we outnumber them. As Andrea's film Mr. Jones reminds us: The truth cannot be killed. Stay safe, vigilant, and united–that is how we win.

In this episode, we introduce our new series on “Marxism and Religion.” At political, social, and spiritual levels, the series explores this complicated relationship for a transitioning age. We start with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who is a political and spiritual beacon for many of us and a democratic socialist by another name. Our discussion explores how MLK Jr. continues to shine light on the righteous path to liberation. leftofphilosophy.com | @leftofphil | @leftofphilosophy.bsky.socialReferences:Martin Luther King, Jr., “Pilgrimage to Non-Violence”: https://www.gandhiashramsevagram.org/gandhi-articles/pilgrimage-to-nonviolence.phpMartin Luther King, Jr., “Letter From a Birmingham Jail”: https://nul.org/news/letter-birmingham-jailMartin Luther King, Jr., “Loving Your Enemies”:https://kinginstitute.stanford.edu/king-papers/documents/loving-your-enemies-sermon-delivered-dexter-avenue-baptist-churchMartin Luther King, Jr., “All Labor Has Dignity”:https://truthout.org/articles/martin-luther-king-jr-all-labor-has-dignity/Martin Luther King, Jr., “Where Do We Go From Here?”:https://kinginstitute.stanford.edu/where-do-we-go-hereMusic:“Vintage Memories” by Schematist | schematist.bandcamp.com“My Space” by Overu | https://get.slip.stream/KqmvAN

(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) We begin by hearing from two members of the community about how they are experiencing and responding to what's happening in the larger society and world in our times. Donald then discusses how we might respond on the basis of our practice, identifying the three areas of training--in wisdom, meditation, and ethics. Guided by wisdom teachings, we can see the society and world as both manifesting greed, hatred, and delusion, and also awakened qualities. In our meditation, we can practice on many levels, including working with challenging emotions, seeing through social conditioning, and bringing mindfulness to our thoughts, emotions, and bodies. We focus especially on "ethical practice," re-framed as developing caring and compassionate responses. We briefly outline the five ethical precepts, and then focus especially on the guideline of non-harming, clarifying how this is understood both more individually and socially, identifying teachings from the Buddha, King Ashoka, and Thich Nhat Hanh. We ask what our practice of developing "caring and compassionate" responses might look like, bringing in also material from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., including his nonviolence and understanding of interdependence, and Elie Wiesel, including his commitment always to speak up whenever there is suffering.

Martin Luther King, Holocaust Memorial Day, and our 250th Anniversary as moral instruction for today. A suspect was shot in a gunfight with U.S. Border Patrol agents during a pursuit near the Arizona-Mexico border earlier today. We're joined by John Dombroski, founder and president of Grand Canyon Planning Associates.

April's Shadow : “The Balcony in Memphis” In Episode One of this two-part Ides of April event series, we step into Memphis, 1968—not as a footnote in civil rights history, but as a pressure cooker where the fight for equality evolves into something even more threatening to power: economic justice. Martin Luther King Jr. comes to Memphis to support the sanitation workers' strike, sparked by the horrific deaths of Echol Cole and Robert Walker, and fueled by a single, uncompromising demand—human dignity—carried through the streets on signs that read: I AM A MAN. As King's mission expands from civil rights leader into a broader advocate for labor and class justice, the atmosphere darkens and the stakes intensify. Memphis becomes a mirror reflecting America's deepest fear: that justice may require redistribution—not just of rights, but of power. The episode moves into the prophetic gravity of King's final night. At Mason Temple, he delivers the iconic “Mountaintop” speech—part sermon, part warning—before returning to the Lorraine Motel. The next day, a moment of ordinary life becomes a national rupture: 6:01 PM on the balcony outside Room 306. And in the hour after his death, America ignites—grief spilling into unrest and reckoning—while the machinery of investigation begins turning, hunting for a suspect as the country struggles to make meaning out of the impossible. In this episode     •    Why Memphis became the inevitable battleground in 1968     •    The sanitation strike, labor, and the radical power of I AM A MAN     •    King's evolution into a leader focused on class justice     •    The “Mountaintop” speech and the calm before catastrophe     •    The assassination, the aftermath, and the beginning of the manhunt

THE DEVIL'S LEDGER Week of January 26 — Blizzard Stories, History's Turning Points, and Hard Truths This week on The Devil's Ledger, winter takes center stage — both outside our windows and inside the stories we're telling. We open by acknowledging the massive snowstorm that's crippled much of the country, especially the Northeast, and how winter has a way of shrinking the world and amplifying the dark. ❄️ The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week comes straight out of a blizzard — a terrifying story that proves when visibility drops and isolation rises, the line between survival and disappearance gets dangerously thin.

Monday, January 20th, 2025Americans celebrate Martin Luther King Jr's legacy and the struggle for freedom, equality, and justice. A prominent leader in the modern civil rights movement, Dr. King was a tireless advocate for racial equality, working class, and the oppressed around the world.
