Podcasts about martyrdom

Fr. Mike draws our attention to the cultural division present in the early Church and the origin of the ordination to the diaconate. He also discusses Paul's frustration with those who didn't recognize Jesus as the Christ and offers consolation to those who experience this in the hearts and minds of those close to them, as Paul did. Today's readings are Acts 6, Romans 9-10, and Proverbs 27:10-12. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

November 24-30Maurine and I lead a church history tour every year. We've done this for 30 years. We take our many participants through two days of Revolutionary War and the foundations of freedom. Then we go to Sharon, Vermont and begin Joseph Smith's life chronologically and naturally we end the two weeks in the Carthage Jail. It's an unbelievable experience. We always have a testimony meeting that last day after the emotional experience of the Carthage Jail. I'll never forget one year, one of the brothers on the tour, who had been especially attentive throughout that two-week period, said emphatically in his testimony, while still on the Jail grounds, “I'm so angry. I'm just so angry!” Since we had never heard that as part of a testimony before and he gave a rather long pause, I cut in and asked aloud, “Why?” He said, “Because they killed him. They killed Joseph Smith. It was unjust. It was wrong. It was so wrong. I'm just so angry.” And that was his final testimony. And it stuck with me. Let's explore the historical, emotional and passionate ending of Joseph and Hyrum Smith's lives today.

In this episode of Come Follow Church History, host Lynne Hilton Wilson sits down with historian Janiece Johnson to explore one of the most pivotal and tragic moments in Latter-day Saint history—the martyrdom of the Prophet Joseph Smith. Together, they uncover the remarkable and turbulent events leading up to June 27, 1844, when Joseph and Hyrum Smith were killed at Carthage Jail. From Joseph Smith's unprecedented run for President of the United States to the formation of the Council of Fifty, Lynne and Janiece trace how faith, politics, and power collided in Nauvoo. They also examine William Law's rebellion and infidelity, the publication of the Nauvoo Expositor, and the rising tensions that set the stage for Joseph's final days.

In this episode we take a clear look at what makes a symbol work in different environments and why versatility is essential in branding today. We break down how a strong symbol keeps its identity across everything from a website header to product packaging to a social media profile. The discussion focuses on practical design choices such as clarity, scale, color use, and typography, and how these decisions help a symbol stay recognizable no matter where it appears. This episode is a simple and direct guide for anyone who wants to understand how effective visual identity is built and why adaptability matters in a world where brands exist in so many different spaces.

If you want to trust the Bible, four tests guarantee its reliability. Historians evaluate the trustworthiness of all ancient manuscripts with specific criteria. If you wonder if you can trust the Bible, these four tests are your answer. The first three look at the manuscripts. They are the bibliographical, internal, and external tests. A fourth test proves the reliability of the authors. The bibliographical test reveals many more manuscripts, with copies written closer to their originals than any other ancient text. The New Testament's transmission accuracy virtually guarantees we have the original text. The internal test refutes claims of “errors” and contradictions. The external test proves the New Testament's reliability through archeology and contemporary non-Christian writings. Lastly, the New Testament authors' credibility is beyond reproach. The Bible is the most well-attested ancient document and that changes everything. But what are you going to do with that information? Stay to the end for a simple next step: read John or Luke for 10 minutes a day and let God speak.What you'll learn- How historians test ancient documents (4 key tests)- Why the New Testament outperforms other ancient works- Variants vs. “contradictions” (what the numbers really mean)- Archaeology & non-Christian sources that corroborate details- Why eyewitness authorship and early dating matter for trustSUBSCRIBE to our channel / @binmin_org JOIN the NEWSLETTER at https://binmin.org/newsletter/SUPPORT Binmin with a tax-deductible gift HERE - https://binmin.org/donate0:00 - INTRO 1:22 - OVERVIEW: 4 TESTS FOR RELIABILITY 1:59 - BIBLIOGRAPHICAL TEST: MANUSCRIPT COUNT2:42 - BIBLIOGRAPHICAL TEST: TIME GAP TO EARLIEST COPIES 3:17 - BIBLIOGRAPHICAL TEST: TRANSMISSION ACCURACY3:51 - INTERNAL TEST: VARIANTS VS.

The Martyrdom of Hugh Faringdon   On this day in Tudor history, 14 November 1539, a man of God was executed at the gate of his own abbey. His name was Hugh Faringdon, Abbot of Reading, a scholar, royal chaplain, and faithful servant of the Church, condemned as a traitor and hanged like a criminal.   Join me as I tell the powerful and tragic story of Abbot Hugh Faringdon, who tried to balance loyalty to King Henry VIII with faith in the old Church, and paid with his life. Discover: The rise of Hugh Faringdon from monk to abbot of one of England's greatest monasteries How he served Henry VIII faithfully before the Dissolution of the Monasteries Why refusing to surrender Reading Abbey made him a target of Thomas Cromwell's regime The brutal execution that shocked Tudor England And how, centuries later, he was beatified as Blessed Hugh Faringdon, a martyr of conscience. Today, the ruins of Reading Abbey still stand as a silent witness to his courage and conviction. #HughFaringdon #HenryVIII #DissolutionOfTheMonasteries #TudorHistory #ReadingAbbey #TudorMartyrs #OnThisDay #EnglishReformation #TudorFaith #TheAnneBoleynFiles #ClaireRidgway #CatholicHistory #TudorEngland

If your business feels like it's draining you instead of filling you up, you're probably recreating the same patterns from therapy practice that burned you out in the first place. The endless availability, saying yes to everyone, undercharging out of guilt, and the resentment that builds when you're trying to be generous but running on empty.In this episode, I'm breaking down the 4 specific business boundaries that changed everything for my business: Energy, Systems & Containers, Money & Sustainability, and Visibility & Emotional Energy. These aren't clinical boundaries—these are business owner boundaries that protect your capacity, profitability, and sanity.You'll hear real stories from my business (including the wake-up call that made me choose sustainability over people-pleasing), learn why "service over profit" is actually destroying your business, and discover why building systems is more important than relying on willpower. If you've ever felt resentful of clients you're trying to help or found yourself responding to DMs at midnight, this episode will show you exactly where your boundaries are leaking.HERE ARE THE 4 KEY BOUNDARIES FROM THIS EPISODE:1️⃣ Energy Over Everything – If something consistently costs you more energy than it gives back, it's a no. Learn why ignoring red-flag clients always ends badly, how to be ruthless about fit, and why protecting your energy is fiduciary responsibility (not selfishness).2️⃣ Systems & Containers (Because Willpower Is Bullshit) – A boundary without a system is just a wish. I'll share my DM boundary story and show you how to build infrastructure that holds boundaries for you—so you're not white-knuckling your way through every client interaction.3️⃣ Money & Sustainability (Profit Funds Service) – When service constantly comes at the expense of profit, you're not being generous—you're being extractive toward yourself. Hear my wake-up call story about removing overdelivery, why people got upset, and how I chose sustainability anyway. Martyrdom is not a business model.4️⃣ Visibility & Emotional Energy – Not every conversation deserves your nervous system. Learn how to handle criticism, hate DMs, and projections without defending yourself or losing sleep. Your job isn't to manage other people's discomfort with your boundaries.RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Join The Incubator Waitlist: therapistsrising.com/incubator Subscribe to my Newsletter for weekly insights on therapist entrepreneurship Follow me on Instagram: @dr.hayleykellyMORE FROM MEFollow me on Instagram: @dr.hayleykelly Visit my website: therapistsrising.comSUBSCRIBE & REVIEWIf this episode helped you see where you're recreating burnout in your business—or gave you permission to want profit and boundaries without guilt—please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts!

This message challenges followers to live out their faith through forgiveness, reflecting Christ's character amid adversity.

In this compelling sermon, Pastor Karl concludes Matthew Chapter 4, tracing Jesus' move to Capernaum in Galilee of the Gentiles—fulfilling Isaiah's prophecy that light dawns in the region of the shadow of death—and the launch of His ministry with the urgent call: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” He unpacks John the Baptist's arrest and martyrdom as the forerunner who must decrease so Jesus can increase, then contrasts the radical response of the first disciples—Peter, Andrew, James, and John—who immediately abandon nets, boats, and family to follow Jesus and become fishers of men—with the great crowds drawn only by miracles to meet their needs. Pastor Karl challenges every listener: Are you part of the crowd seeking Jesus to fix your problems, or a true disciple whose primary identity has changed, leaving everything behind to seek first God's kingdom and His righteousness? He explains that biblical righteousness exceeds the Pharisees not in degree but in kind—imputed by faith in Christ, yet proven through a lifestyle of Scripture study, prayer, evangelism, tithing, and obedience. Join us for a powerful message that calls every believer to move from consumer to committed follower, embrace repentance as ongoing surrender, and live righteously as proof of genuine faith. Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

Bishop Schneider delivers a powerful meditation on martyrdom, warning that in an age of confusion, even Church leaders risk compromising truth. Drawing from his Soviet-era childhood and the witness of modern figures like Charlie Kirk, he reminds us: martyrdom isn't about suffering, it's about standing for Christ, even unto death.U.S. residents!

In the current environment of inter-faith sessions, let us look to the martyrs. What would St. Margaret Clitherow, Pearl of York, have done and said? Fr. McTeigue takes a closer look.  Watch on YouTube: A Wasted Martyrdom?

Pastor Stephen Martin and Pastor Rob McCoy share powerful testimony from Charlie Kirk's memorial service, revealing the biblical pattern of martyrdom and why faithful witness always produces revival. Drawing direct parallels to Stephen's stoning in Acts 7, Pastor Stephen explains the three results that always follow martyrdom: explosive church growth, new courageous leaders rising, and former enemies becoming brothers in Christ. Pastor Rob—who spent four days with Charlie in Korea just before his death—shares intimate stories revealing Charlie's true character: his incorruptible integrity with money, his servant heart toward waitresses and strangers, his hours of daily Scripture study, and his passion for leading people to Jesus. He addresses the conspiracy theories dividing Christians and calls believers back to biblical perspective. Charlie wasn't killed for his rhetoric or tone—he was martyred because he spoke God's truth in a world that hates God's truth. The result? 1.4 billion people watched his memorial and revival is breaking out across America. This episode will challenge you to examine your own courage, confront gossip and division, and trust God's sovereignty even when evil seems to win.✅ Why martyrdom always causes the church to explode in growth✅ The biblical pattern from Acts 7 that's repeating today✅ Charlie's real character: stories from someone who knew him intimately✅ How to maintain biblical perspective during cultural persecution✅ Why conspiracy theories dishonor martyrs and grieve the Holy Spirit✅ The three results of martyrdom Christians are witnessing right nowRelated Scripture Study:

In this powerful message from Everyday Mission, we look at the life and death of Stephen in Acts 6:8–7:60 and see what it truly means to live on mission for Jesus. Stephen's courage, conviction, and compassion weren't fueled by self-confidence—but by being emptied of self and filled with the Holy Spirit. His bold witness before opposition and his forgiveness in the face of death point us to Jesus, the One who empowers us to live and love beyond our own strength. Everyday mission isn't about being impressive—it's about being available for the Spirit to work through us.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

Fr. Mike offers a recap of Eleazar's martyrdom and marvels at Eleazar's courage to avoid both sin, and the temptation to lead others into sin. As we begin reading the book of Wisdom today, we also learn three valuable lessons; God did not create death, death entered the world through sin, and we are wise when we walk in the truth but foolish when we walk in evil. Today's readings are 2 Maccabees 6, Wisdom 1-2, and Proverbs 24:21-26. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

The RSV's translation of the “cleansing of the temple” in John 2:15 is in part, “And making a whip of cords, he drove them all, with the sheep and oxen, out of the temple.” John's Greek, however, suggests that Jesus was using the whip only on the animals, which might have other implications for interpretation.

It's Thursday, October 16th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark British Christian teacher fired for Facebook post about Islamic violence A British Christian teacher, who was unjustly  fired, shared his testimony at a Reform UK party free speech conference last week. Simon Pearson had a 20-year unblemished teaching record. However, Preston College dismissed him last year for allegedly being “Islamaphobic.” He had simply expressed concern on Facebook over violent crime and political bias. Pearson is challenging his dismissal with the help of the Christian Legal Centre.  Listen to his comments at the free speech conference. PEARSON: “Previously, I've worked as a missionary in a communist country where freedom of speech and religion are tightly controlled. I know what it means to live under a regime where truth is suppressed and conscience is punished. “I never imagined I would face similar pressures in the United Kingdom, a country built on the foundations of liberty, of justice and of Christian values. I'm fighting for justice, not just for myself, but for every teacher, for every Christian and every citizen who fears that their voice no longer matters and they are being silenced.” Young people of Northern Ireland more open to Christianity Speaking of the United Kingdom, young people in Northern Ireland are leading a revival of interest in Christianity, according to a poll by The Iona Institute. The survey found 18-24-year-olds in Northern Ireland are more likely to have a very positive attitude toward Christianity than any other age group. These findings are similar to studies of young people in Ireland, Britain, and the United States. Gen Z boys most likely to believe that Jesus is way to Heaven Here in America, the Barna Group released new research from its ongoing State of the Church initiative.  Surveys show that Gen Z is increasingly open to Christian faith. However, among young people, women are the most likely to disengage from church, prayer, and belief.  Meanwhile, young men and especially teenage boys are the least likely to identify as having no faith among young people. They are also the most likely to believe in God and that Jesus Christ is the only way to God. In John 14:6, Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” Fewer young Americans identifying as “transgender” Here some more good news. Trans identification is declining among young people in America. Eric Kaufmann, a Canadian professor of politics, posted the findings on Tuesday. His analysis is based on multiple data sets, including those from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression. The data shows 3.6% of undergraduates identify as a gender other than male or female. That's down from 5.2% in 2024 and 6.8% in 2022.  The data sets also showed young people are becoming less likely to identify as something other than heterosexual.  Trump posthumously awarded Charlie Kirk Presidential Medal of Freedom President Donald Trump posthumously awarded Charlie Kirk with the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Tuesday. Kirk's widow, Erika, received the nation's highest civilian medal on his behalf on what would have been his 32nd birthday.  The ceremony comes about a month after the Christian activist was fatally shot while speaking at an event for his organization, Turning Point USA.  Listen to comments from President Trump. TRUMP: “Charlie never missed an opportunity to remind us of the Judeo-Christian principles of our nation's founding or to share his deep Christian faith. In his final moments, Charlie testified to the greatness of America and to the glory of our Savior with Whom he now rests in Heaven. Anniversary of martyrdom of two English reformers And finally, today is the anniversary of the martyrdom of two English Reformers. Their names were Hugh Latimer and Nicholas Ridley. Both were bishops in the Church of England. Ridley was born in 1502, becoming a great scholar and renouncing Roman Catholic doctrine. Latimer was born earlier in 1485. He became a great Reformation preacher, also rejecting Catholic traditions. His preaching brought Protestant teachings effectively to the middle and lower classes. However, a Catholic queen came to power in England in 1553. She was known as “Bloody Mary” for her deadly persecution of Protestants. After her ascension to power, Latimer and Ridley were tried for their beliefs and burned at the stake on October 16, 1555. As they faced death together, Latimer told his friend, “Be of good comfort, Master Ridley, and play the man; we shall this day light such a candle, by God's grace, in England, as I trust shall never be put out.” In Romans 8:36-37, the Apostle Paul wrote, “As it is written: ‘For Your sake we are killed all day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.' Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, October 16th, in the year of our Lord 2025, the 60th wedding anniversary of my parents, Mike and Harriet McManus, with whom I will celebrate this very weekend.  Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

Pr. Jame Preus of Trinity Lutheran-Ottumwa, IA Why Calling Charlie Kirk A Martyr Matters To Recognize Charles James Kirk as a Christian Martyr ​ The post Christian Martyrdom and Charlie Kirk – Pr. James Preus, 10/9/25 (2821) first appeared on Issues, Etc..

Motherhood and partnership don't come with a handbook -- but they sure do come with expectations. In this episode, we dive into the messy, beautiful, and sometimes maddening dynamics of parenting, partnership, and power. From the invisible labor of “default parenting” to the subtle ways we martyr ourselves in relationships, we get real about what it takes to stay connected, stand up for your value, and model something better for your kids. Whether you're in the thick of raising little ones or reflecting on the long game of love, this conversation is your reminder that empowerment starts at home -- with honest talks, equal partnership, and choosing not to lose yourself in the process.   Some key takeaways from this episode include: No one can make you a martyr without your consent! Value yourself enough to say no. Equal partnerships aren't about who makes more money; they're about mutual respect and empowerment. Your kids don't remember what you say, they remember what you model. Choose wisely.  

In this episode of the Eyes on Jesus Podcast, Drew and Tim dive into one of the most sobering yet inspiring themes in the history of the church—martyrdom. From the earliest disciples to modern believers still facing persecution today, the stories of those who gave everything for Christ challenge us to examine our own faith. What does it mean to live with boldness instead of fear? And how can we honor the legacy of martyrs in the way we live today?The Testimony of Martyrs Through the AgesDrew and Tim highlight the lives of powerful witnesses like Polycarp, Perpetua and Felicity, Ignatius of Antioch, William Tyndale, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and Jim Elliott. Each story reminds us of the cost of discipleship and the unshakable hope found in Christ. Polycarp's famous words still echo across time: “Eighty and six years I have served Him, and He has done me no wrong. How can I blaspheme my King who saved me?” These voices form a “cloud of witnesses” that continues to inspire faith today.Martyrdom in the Modern WorldWhile many of us live in places of relative freedom, persecution and martyrdom are still very real in countries like Nigeria, China, and North Korea. Drew and Tim explore how the church often grows strongest in places where faith is tested most. They also reflect on what it looks like to stand boldly in contexts where persecution is more subtle—social, cultural, or ideological.Boldness Over FearOne of the key takeaways from Acts is that the disciples didn't pray for protection—they prayed for boldness. That same spirit is needed now. Whether facing public hostility, workplace pressure, or even the quiet temptation to compromise, believers today are called to live courageously and keep their eyes fixed on Jesus.Living as WitnessesThe stories of martyrs are not just historical records; they are ongoing testimonies that shape how we live as disciples in our own time. Drew and Tim challenge listeners to ask: What kind of legacy are we leaving? Are we living as bold witnesses, or letting fear and comfort dictate our choices?ConclusionThis conversation is both convicting and inspiring. The blood of the martyrs has indeed been the seed of the church, and their faith continues to call us higher. May we embrace boldness, honor their witness, and keep our eyes on Jesus in a world still desperate for His light.Get the most comfortable shirts we've ever worn!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://kingdomandwill.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Use code: EYESONJESUS for 15% off Get all our links in one easy place! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/eyesonjesuspodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get the Eyes on Jesus 90 Day Discernment Devotional⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://a.co/d/3v8963s⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our Group on Facebook- Eyes on Jesus podcast community ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/eyesonjesuspodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email feedback, questions or show topic ideas to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠eyesonjesuspodcast@outlook.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠For more information on Drew Barker: Follow Drew on ⁠Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/pastordrewbarker⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Drew's church's website ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://yes.online/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠For more information on Tim Ferrara: ⁠ ⁠ Get all his links in one place- to his social media, all 3 of his books, and more ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/discerning_dad⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

To try to understand both the power and strangeness of the Charlie Kirk memorial—one part evangelical worship service, one part MAGA rally—we turned, of course, to our friend Pat Blanchfield. All three of us stewed in the event's footage, which runs to over four and a half hours, then convened to discuss it. After laying out for listeners what happened at State Farm Stadium in Arizona just over a week ago, replete with clips, we tried to understand how the event aimed to turn death and grief into power by unpacking its imagery, symbols, references, and, of course, how it might play "out there" among Americans not already plugged into the menagerie of seen subcultures on stage. Sources:Charlie Kirk Memorial at State Farm Stadium, Sept 21, 2025 (Fox News on YouTube)— Transcript of President Donald Trump's speech at Kirk Memorial— The story behind the hymn, "It is Well with My Soul" (link)Jack Jenkins, "At Charlie Kirk's memorial, religion, politics and antagonism toward liberals combine," Religion News Service, Sept 22, 2025Amber Phillips, "3 takeaways from the Charlie Kirk memorial," Wash Post, Sept 22, 2025Elizabeth Castelli, Martyrdom and Memory: Early Christian Culture Making, (2004)Gabriel Winant, "On Mourning and Statehood: A Response to Joshua Leifer," Dissent, Oct 13, 2023...and don't forget to subscribe on Patreon for access to all of our bonus episodes!
