This week on Born to Watch, it's time for our Air Force One Movie Review, the movie review podcast where we don't take the movies or ourselves too seriously. Whitey, G-Man, and Will the Worky climb aboard one of the most patriotic action films ever made, as Harrison Ford swaps his whip and fedora for the Oval Office and proves that sometimes the President really can save the day.Released in 1997 and directed by Wolfgang Petersen, Air Force One became one of the biggest blockbusters of the year, delivering a simple but irresistible premise. Terrorists hijack the President's plane, take his family hostage and quickly discover they've picked a fight with a Commander-in-Chief who just happens to be a Medal of Honour recipient.The boys dive into whether this 90s action favourite still holds up almost three decades later, or whether nostalgia is doing most of the heavy lifting.Harrison Ford once again proves why he remains one of Hollywood's greatest accidental heroes. Whether he's Han Solo, Indiana Jones, Dr Richard Kimble or President James Marshall, Ford has a knack for making ordinary people believe they can survive extraordinary situations. The team discusses why his grounded style works so well and why he's able to elevate even the most over-the-top action movies.Of course, no discussion of Air Force One would be complete without Gary Oldman. His performance as terrorist Ivan Korshunov is as intense as ever, even if the boys question whether one of cinema's greatest actors deserved a stronger script. Along the way, they celebrate Oldman's incredible career, from Leon and True Romance through to The Dark Knight, Darkest Hour and beyond.As always, the movie quickly becomes secondary to the ridiculous questions that only Born to Watch can ask.Just how many parachutes does Air Force One actually carry?Why is everyone smiling after jumping out of a plane somewhere over Kazakhstan?Does a 1997 satellite phone really keep working at 20,000 feet?Why is there an endless supply of drinks hidden in the cargo hold?And how exactly does one MiG fighter somehow survive an entire squadron attack just so the movie can have one more action sequence?The crew also takes aim at some wonderfully cheesy taglines, debates whether this is one of cinema's greatest presidential action thrillers, and wonders if Australians will ever truly understand America's obsession with the presidency.Elsewhere, G-Man delivers another outstanding Ordinary People segment, covering Harrison Ford, Gary Oldman, Glenn Close and a cast full of "that guy" character actors you've seen in dozens of movies. There's also a look back at the massive year that was 1997, including Titanic, Men in Black, The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Good Will Hunting.Hit, Sleeper or Dud returns with another trio of recommendations, including Wesley Snipes' underrated Murder at 1600, the Spanish original that inspired Vanilla Sky, and one of the greatest movie titles ever discovered in the Dud category.As always, expect plenty of laughs, terrible impressions, completely unnecessary tangents, and more than a few moments where the logic of Hollywood action films is left hanging out the side of the aircraft.So buckle up, secure your tray table, prepare for decompression, and remember one thing...Get off my podcast!If you enjoy what we do, we'd love your support. Subscribe wherever you listen, leave us a five-star review, share the episode with your mates, and follow Born to Watch across social media.

Kyle Morgan spent over twenty years in the Army. Infantry, then Green Beret, then more than a decade in the nation's premier special missions unit running hostage rescue. In 2015 he was advising the U.S. Embassy in Mali when terrorists took the Radisson Blu hotel. He built a team on the fly and went in. The award for that was the Distinguished Service Cross, second only to the Medal of Honor. Today he runs Blu Bearing, trains police and civilians, and serves on the board of Frontline Healing Foundation. When the job ends the machine has already forgotten about you, and he'll tell you that isn't cruel because it has to forget you to keep moving. The guys who come apart are the ones still trying to replace something that can't be replaced. He didn't leave the way he wanted to. There was addiction, a DUI he hid, and an overdose that nearly ended it, and his old command circled the wagons around him more than once before he finally made it out. Sobriety and faith are what brought him back, almost five years of it now, and he spends his time pointing at the cost so the next guy doesn't pay it blind. He'll tell you he's more proud of the husband and father he is today than anything he ever did downrange.  Blu Bearing Solutions: ⁠https://blubearing.com/⁠ Join the Cleared Hot Newsletter: ⁠https://www.clearedhot.com⁠ Take the Operator Code Assessment: ⁠https://www.theoperatorcode.com⁠ Today's Sponsors:  Black Rifle Coffee:  ⁠https://www.blackriflecoffee.com⁠ LMNT: ⁠https://www.drinklmnt.com

Drop us a note about the podcast. Paul gets stoned, dragged out of town, and everyone thinks he's dead. Then the believers gather around him, and he stands up and walks right back into Lystra. That single moment in Acts 14 forces a question most of us try to avoid: what does faithful perseverance look like when following Jesus costs you something real?We read through Paul and Barnabas in Lystra and Derby, including the miracle that sparks a wave of misplaced worship, the sharp backlash that follows, and the steady work of strengthening new believers. Along the way, we lean on Psalm 140 as a prayer for protection from violent and deceitful people, and we reflect on Proverbs 17:22 about how a cheerful heart can be “good medicine” when life feels heavy. If you're searching for biblical courage, Christian resilience, and practical Christian living, these passages land with surprising clarity.From there, we zoom out into influence and character: who you listen to, how far you should follow any public voice, and why small daily choices still shape your home. We also honor service through a Medal of Honor story, then connect virtue, leadership, and Christian education to the long-term health of a nation, arguing that laws can't substitute for moral people.If this gave you something to think about, subscribe, share the podcast with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find it.#AmericanHeritage#ChristianNation#WilliamPennSupport the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribeCountryside Book Serieshttps://www.amazon.com/Countryside-Book-J-T-Cope-IV-ebook/dp/B00MPIXOB2 America's Christian Heritage Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2622483

Drop us a note about the podcast. A single chapter from Acts turns into a blunt question: when we call something “compassion,” who actually gets protected and who pays the price? We start with Paul and Barnabas in Acts 13, where the gospel moves outward to the Gentiles, and we use that moment to talk about bold speech, rejection, and what it means to be “a light” beyond our own circles.From there, we pivot to a modern case the host says exposes the costs of broken systems: the killing of Kyla Hamilton in Maryland and the allegation that part of the attack was captured on a voicemail. The discussion connects that tragedy to illegal immigration, unaccompanied minors, and the difference between slogans and responsibility. We also slow down and read Scripture that shapes the home as much as the public square, including Song of Solomon on marriage and Psalm 139 on God's intimate knowledge of every life.We then take on religious liberty and the host's argument that freedom of religion is not the same as a license to blaspheme, with a reference to early American legal history. The episode closes with Proverbs, a Medal of Honor citation for Pedro Cano, and quotes attributed to John Jay and revival-era leaders on Christians engaging politics to preserve the freedoms needed to live and preach their faith.If you found this thought-provoking, subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find it.

Drop us a note about the podcast. A few lines from Psalm 138 can hit differently when life feels dangerous, unfair, or out of control. We start there, then we face a grim headline out of Bel Air, Maryland: the rape and murder of Rachel Moran and the arrest that followed after a DNA match. It is heavy, but we do not linger for shock. We use it to ask a harder question: what do our actions, votes, and loyalties actually reveal about our character and priorities?From that tension, we turn to prayer and Scripture with a clear focus on the gospel. We read from Acts 13 as Paul traces God's faithfulness through Israel's history and points to Jesus as the promised Savior, risen from the dead. The takeaway is simple and uncompromising: forgiveness of sins comes through Jesus Christ alone. Not a denomination. Not a personality. Not politics. Just Christ, received by faith and marked by repentance and a changed life.We also bring it down to the daily level with a practical Bible reading plan: Proverbs. One chapter a day, five minutes, real wisdom that shows up in decision-making, relationships, and self-control. Along the way, we honor Medal of Honor recipient George Ham Cannon for courage under fire, then we close with civic warning and responsibility through a James Garfield quote and a reminder that Scripture and founding documents can be twisted when hearts are not honest.If this conversation helps you think clearly and live faithfully, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show.#Bible#DailyScripture #JamesGarfield Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribeCountryside Book Serieshttps://www.amazon.com/Countryside-Book-J-T-Cope-IV-ebook/dp/B00MPIXOB2 America's Christian Heritage Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2622483

How do you make people care about your documentary?Facts alone rarely make an audience care. The emotional core of a documentary lives somewhere else. In this episode of Documentary First, filmmaker Christian Taylor tells the story of how she found the heartbeat her film about the Battle of Carentan was missing. It was not in the archives. It was in the memories of a man who was six years old when the war came for his town.For months, Christian's film Heroes of Carentan felt stuck in what one WWII veteran called the “data of history,” the maps, the dates, and the military maneuvers. Everything shifted when she met Yves Marchais. In June 1944, Yves was a small boy living under German occupation in Carentan, France. This year he sent Christian thirteen letters recording what he remembered, and those letters gave the historical record a soul.It comes down to a lesson every documentary filmmaker learns the hard way: audiences do not connect to issues or information, they connect to people. Anchored by a line from Pfc. John E. Fitzgerald, a runner for Medal of Honor recipient Lt. Col. Robert Cole, this episode argues that the essence of history is not its record but its heartbeat. Yves calls his own account his “hummingbird's share,” not the whole war, but the small, vivid pieces that passed before a child's eyes. His story becomes a lesson in telling a big historical event through one small, personal one.In this episode, you'll learn:Why facts and figures alone rarely move an audienceHow to find the emotional core, or heartbeat, of a documentaryWhy audiences connect to people, not to issues or informationHow to tell a big historical story through one small, personal oneWhat Pfc. John E. Fitzgerald meant when he warned that history can lose its heartbeatWhy one person's story can carry an entire historical eventWhat the “hummingbird's share” is, and why small memories matter more than big onesHow the Battle of Carentan looked through the eyes of a six-year-old boyHow Yves Marchais and his family survived the occupation and liberation of CarentanWhy the story a filmmaker starts with is often not the story worth tellingWhat the series Band of Brothers has to do with the real Battle of CarentanHow to know when your film has finally found its emotional coreChapters:00:00 Meeting a survivor of Carentan01:15 13 letters and Band of Brothers02:26 Life under German occupation04:01 D-Day and the kitchen sink05:27 Fleeing an empty Carentan06:59 The trench and liberation08:45 Colonel Cole and the runner10:57 The lesson: find your heartbeatFrequently Asked Questions:How do you find the emotional core of a documentary?Facts and chronology rarely move an audience on their own. The emotional core, what host Christian Taylor calls the heartbeat, usually lives in one person's specific, lived experience rather than in the broad historical record. In this episode she describes finding it in the memories of Yves Marchais, a French civilian who was six during the Battle of Carentan, and building the film's meaning around his point of view.How do you make an audience care about a documentary subject?Audiences connect to people far more than to issues or information. The most reliable way to make viewers care about a large subject, a war, a movement, a crisis, is to tell it through one specific person whose experience makes the bigger story personal. In this episode, Christian Taylor builds her film about the Battle of Carentan around a single child's memories rather than the broad military record.What was the Battle of Carentan?The Battle of Carentan was a June 1944 fight for the town of Carentan in Normandy, France, a key objective linking the American forces landing at Utah and Omaha beaches. The 101st Airborne Division, including units later made famous by Band of Brothers, fought to take the town, which was liberated on June 12, 1944.Who is Yves Marchais?Yves Marchais is a French man who, as a six-year-old boy, lived through the German occupation and the 1944 liberation of Carentan. Decades later he recorded his childhood memories of the war in a series of letters, which became the emotional core of Christian Taylor's documentary. He calls his account his “hummingbird's share,” the small, true pieces of history he witnessed firsthand.What did Pfc. John Fitzgerald mean about history losing its heartbeat?Pfc. John E. Fitzgerald, who served as a runner for Medal of Honor recipient Lt. Col. Robert Cole, wrote that the data of history should not lose its heartbeat as it becomes information, or all that remains is the record without the essence. Christian Taylor uses that idea as the key to her film: the facts of a battle matter, but the human story is what makes people care.About the Film and the Story:Heroes of Carentan is Christian Taylor's in-production documentary about the 1944 liberation of Carentan, Normandy, told through the people who lived it. Yves Marchais was six years old during the battle. His firsthand account of the occupation, the bombing, his family's escape through a deserted town, and the moment of liberation forms the emotional center of the film. This episode is the second part of Christian's story about finding that center.About Documentary First:Documentary First is a weekly podcast about the craft, business, and truth of documentary filmmaking. Host Christian Taylor is a documentary filmmaker (The Girl Who Wore Freedom), actor, voice actor, and podcast host based in the United States. Each week she explores what it takes to tell true stories that move people, through interviews with filmmakers and solo episodes drawn from her own work.Resources Mentioned:The Colonel and the Runner, by Pfc.

Direct-to-consumer (DTC) is moving from an experimental monetization channel toward a more established part of game publishing, but adoption remains uneven. Host Devin Becker is joined by David Stelzer, CSO of Appcharge, to discuss findings from the company's recent report and what they reveal about the current state of DTC. They examine why more than half of studios are still making few meaningful changes, what separates the small group of innovators pulling ahead, and where developers continue to misunderstand web stores, player behavior, and the operational demands of running DTC effectively. The conversation also looks ahead to dedicated DTC teams, standardized technology stacks, broader adoption beyond games, and what winning in DTC could look like over the next three to five years.We'd like to thank Medal.tv for making this episode possible.

Drop us a note about the podcast. The fastest way to lose a nation isn't just bad ideas from the outside, it's faith that goes silent when choices get costly. We start in Acts with a simple truth: God's Word spreads, and new believers appear, when people actually live it. Then we bring that lens to the headlines, to public safety, and to the uncomfortable reality that policy decisions touch real victims, real families, and real neighborhoods. From there, we slow down and pray for leaders, troops, law enforcement, educators, and the next generation, because a Christian worldview is never just commentary, it's dependence on God. A reading from Song of Solomon opens up a frank challenge about marriage: when churches avoid talking honestly about desire, intimacy, and God's design, we shouldn't be shocked when Christian marriages look just as broken as everyone else's. If we have nothing different to offer, why would anyone want Christian living? Acts 13 takes us into spiritual resistance in real time: a leader wants to hear the Word of God, and a false voice works to stop it. That story sets up a bigger question about modern leadership, influence, and who filters “truth” for the people in charge. We also read Psalm 137 and Proverbs 17:16, spotlight a Medal of Honor act of courage, and end with Charles Finney's blunt warning that God blesses or curses a nation in response to the course Christians take in politics. The closing challenge is personal: align your voting, your marriage, and your family life with Jesus Christ, not with slogans. Subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show, then tell us what part hit you hardest.#MedalofHonor#CharlesFinney#ChristianNationSupport the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribeCountryside Book Serieshttps://www.amazon.com/Countryside-Book-J-T-Cope-IV-ebook/dp/B00MPIXOB2 America's Christian Heritage Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2622483

A single article can change history. On this episode of 1819 News: The Podcast, Bryan Dawson sits down with military veteran and 1819 News columnist Troy Carico to discuss three investigations that led to real-world impact—from helping secure the long-overdue Medal of Honor for Marine Major James Capers Jr. to exposing questions surrounding Alabama veterans programs and raising concerns about the security of advanced F-35 fighter jets stationed in Montgomery. The conversation covers military leadership, government accountability, veterans' issues, national security, and how investigative journalism can influence public policy. If you care about America's military, veterans, government transparency, and the future of Alabama, don't miss this conversation.

Drop us a note about the podcast. A single line from Psalm 136 can steady your mind when everything feels like it's shaking: “His faithful love endures forever.” We start there, letting Scripture set the tone with a practice of gratitude that isn't shallow or sentimental, but rooted in what God has done in history and what He's still doing now. If you're searching for Christian encouragement, prayer, and a way to re-center your heart, this reading is a strong place to begin.From Proverbs to Acts 12, we move through blunt wisdom about conflict and justice, then into the story of Peter's imprisonment and miraculous rescue. The church prays earnestly, chains fall, doors open, and even the people who love Peter struggle to believe what God just did. Along the way, we talk marriage and character, why quarrels spread fast, and why Scripture treats “acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent” as a serious moral warning with real consequences in public life.We also honor American history and service by remembering Medal of Honor recipient Johnny Lee Canley, then close with Frederick Douglass and his insistence that “righteousness exalteth a nation.” The point we keep coming back to is simple: policies and politics can't replace repentance, and the best work we can do is to put God and Jesus Christ back at the center of our lives and our country.

AFTER THE WAR, Claire Phillips was hailed as a hero. Even before she was back in North America, her hometown newspaper was singing her praises. Soon afterward, Reader's Digest picked up the story and spread it nationwide. She wrote a memoir of her war activities, Manila Espionage, and it was published in 1947. The following year, at Fort Lewis, Gen. Mark Clark presented her with the Medal of Freedom, America's highest award for a civilian. The accolades kept coming... until suddenly, one day, they didn't. (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/23-09.high-pockets-the-spymaster-625.html)

Drop us a note about the podcast. What if the biggest threat to your peace isn't the headlines, but who you've been treating like a savior? We start by reading Psalm 135, a blunt reminder that the Lord rules over heaven, earth, and the depths and that idols are powerless things made by human hands. From there, we pray for forgiveness and for the strength to live out our faith with real compassion for the hurting, including widows, orphans, and those who serve in uniform. We then move into Genesis 9 and the command to be fruitful and multiply, arguing that God's design for marriage, sex, children, and responsibility isn't random advice. When a culture rebels against that design, the damage shows up everywhere. We also read Acts 11, where Peter explains how the Holy Spirit falls on the Gentiles, the early church recognizes God's work, and believers in Antioch become known as Christians. Along the way, we highlight the practical generosity of famine relief as a model for faith that acts. The second half turns to public life and civic virtue. We remember a Pennsylvania state trooper killed on the roadside and bring the story back to the family left behind, then connect personal loss to national consequences. We also share a Medal of Honor note on Heath Canfield and revisit early American election sermons, including Matthias Burnett's 1803 sermon, to discuss separation of church and state, factional party zeal, and why a free republic depends on a virtuous people. If you've ever wondered whether politics can fix what's broken, this conversation pushes deeper toward the only lasting source of hope: God and Jesus Christ. Subscribe for more, share this with a friend who cares about faith and country, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

It is the name of the graveyard of the Japanese army.”This is the story of America's first major offensive in the Pacific since Midway.Amid hard fighting among the frozen peaks of Attu at the tail end of Alaska's Aleutian Islands, the Americans are gaining ground. But the cost is steep. Carrying out banzai charges, Japanese soldiers are prepared to fight to the last man. This is the case in the Solomon Islands as well, where US Marines—or "Uncle Sam's Miserable Children," as they call themselves—are storming the beaches of Guadalcanal. The island is only barely held, largely thanks to the almost unbelievable bravery of Medal of Honor recipient Sergeant John Basilone.Meanwhile, American codebreakers have obtained Admiral Yamamoto Isoroku's flight plans. The man who surprised America at Pearl Harbor is about to get a surprise of his own.____Connect with us on HTDSpodcast.com andorder Prof. Jackson's bookgo deep into episode bibliographies and book recommendationsjoin discussions in our Facebook communityget news and discounts from The HTDS Gazette come see a live showget HTDS merchor become an HTDS premium member for bonus episodes and other perks.HTDS is part of Audacy media network.

What began as a collection of handwritten letters from his beloved grandmother became an extraordinary journey through family history, race, resilience, and the enduring power of love across generations. Walter shares how his grandmother's unwavering faith, quiet strength, and simple words of encouragement helped shape his identity and inspired him to preserve a story that is both deeply personal and profoundly American. Together, we explore the sacrifices that built future generations, the hidden heroes whose names may never appear in history books, and why preserving our family stories is one of the greatest gifts we can leave behind. We also discuss what it means to carry the dreams of our ancestors, navigate America's complex racial history, and define success in a way that honors those who came before us. This conversation is heartfelt, inspiring, and filled with wisdom for anyone who has ever wondered how the lives of ordinary people can create extraordinary legacies. Walter Pryor is a product of the South, the Black Church, and a strong family unit of resilient, formidable women.  He is a cum laude graduate of Hendrix College, the only Black student in the college's history to receive the President's Medal, and a graduate of Georgetown University Law Center. Pryor's professional career has spanned a myriad of sectors in the legal arena, including large and small law firms, the U.S. Department of Justice, Capitol Hill, corporations, higher education, and mission-driven bank Southern Bancorp.  He is passionate about education. He has devoted significant time to volunteer work in that field. Pryor currently serves on the Board of Trustees of Hendrix College as Chair and the Board of Directors of the Washington Children's Foundation. Pryor has also served on the Board of Trustees of the Latin School of Chicago, the Board of Directors of Legal Prep Charter Academies in Chicago, and the Board of Trustees of National Collegiate Preparatory Public Charter High School in Washington, D.C. He and his wife, Juliette, have two adult children, Adjua and Wade Osei, and divide their time between Chicago, Charlotte, and Martha's Vineyard. This Leaves Me Okay (Heliotrope Books, 2025) is his first book.

Drop us a note about the podcast. Peace sounds simple until you ask what it's built on. We start with Acts 9:31 and let Scripture set the standard: the church grows stronger when believers live in fear of the Lord and walk in the encouragement of the Holy Spirit. From there, we get painfully practical, asking whether that same reverence shows up in our churches, our families, our schools, and the choices we make when no one is watching. If you care about Christian discipleship, spiritual growth, and a biblical worldview that actually touches daily life, this conversation will meet you where you are. We also pause on Genesis 2:24–25 to talk about Christian marriage as a covenant of leaving, cleaving, and becoming one flesh. That thread runs straight into the story of Saul's bold witness and Peter's ministry in Acts 9, including the healing of Aeneas and the raising of Tabitha. These aren't just dramatic moments, they're reminders that courage, compassion, and obedience can turn hearts back to God and strengthen a whole community. Psalm 132 and Proverbs add a generational lens, pointing to worship, legacy, and the honor of family. Then we widen the frame to moral accountability in public life, reflecting on a disturbing 1955 UK criminal case as a warning about what happens when evil is minimized and people stay silent. We pair that sober note with a Medal of Honor story of duty and sacrifice, and we close with American Christian heritage voices like Patrick Henry and President Ulysses S. Grant tied to Proverbs 14:34: “Righteousness exalts a nation.” If this encouraged or challenged you, subscribe, share the episode, and leave a review so more people can find the show.#Proverbs14#UlyssesSGrant#ChristianNationSupport the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribeCountryside Book Serieshttps://www.amazon.com/Countryside-Book-J-T-Cope-IV-ebook/dp/B00MPIXOB2 America's Christian Heritage Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2622483

Welcome to Episode 135 of the Trail Running Ireland Podcast.In this weeks show René Borg from Running Coach Ireland takes over the presenter role as he asks our usual presenter Eoin Flynn the questions as we reflect on the World Masters Mountain Running Championships. Ireland picked up 6 individual medals and 19 teams medals including 3 Irish teams being declared World Champions including Eoins´ 045 team and Ireland also had an individual World Champion in Majella Diskin in the W70 category. What a few days it was! Eoin also gives a quick overview of the UTMB European Major, Val Daran by UTMB where he was working for the week, a race that included two big controversial moments involving the race leaders.Everyone, get your running gear on, lets go!

Drop us a note about the podcast. Saul is certain he's doing the right thing and then everything changes in a flash of light. We start with Acts 9 and the road to Damascus, where Jesus confronts Saul's persecution and turns a ruthless mission into a story of repentance, obedience, and a brand-new calling. From Saul's blindness to Ananias laying hands on him, we talk about what real conversion looks like when pride breaks and truth takes over. We also get painfully practical about prayer and marriage. I share why praying for yourself is not selfish, and we read 1 Corinthians 7 on marital duty, mutual authority, and self-control. It's a direct look at Christian marriage values that refuses to sugarcoat what covenant requires, including the need for intimacy, sacrifice, and agreement when a couple sets aside time for prayer. Then the tone shifts to public safety and moral clarity, including a horrific 1993 Houston case used to argue about justice, capital punishment, and the future we leave our families. We also talk about AI bias and why you can't outsource discernment to a tool, then close with a Medal of Honor spotlight and Rev. Francis J. Grimké's warning that nations often collapse from inward corruption when they abandon righteousness.

Drop us a note about the podcast. A single line from Scripture can pull you out of a spiral, and this conversation starts right there: “From the depths of despair, O Lord, I call for your help.” We lean into Psalm 130's honesty about sin, mercy, and why real hope is built on God's forgiveness, not our ability to pretend we're fine. If you've felt anxious, worn down, or stuck replaying failure, you'll hear a clear reminder that God's redemption is not fragile and his word is meant to be trusted.Then we get painfully practical about Christian marriage. Reading 1 Peter 3, I talk about how a wife's conduct can speak louder than words, and why “inner beauty” is not a slogan but a real spiritual strength. I also challenge husbands: treat your wife with respect and consideration, because Scripture warns that your prayer life can be hindered when you don't. If you're looking for Bible-based marriage advice that cuts through modern noise, this section lands with clarity.We also spend time in Acts 8, from Simon's attempt to buy God's gift to Philip's unexpected roadside discipleship with the Ethiopian official reading Isaiah. It's a picture of how biblical instruction works in real life: honest questions, clear answers, and the good news about Jesus leading to baptism and joy. Along the way, we remember American heritage through a Medal of Honor spotlight, Abraham Lincoln's words on national trial, and a thought-provoking note about the Treaty of Paris and faith language tied to America's founding.Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review so more people can find the show.#TreatyOfParis#AmericanRevolution #ChristianNationSupport the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribeCountryside Book Serieshttps://www.amazon.com/Countryside-Book-J-T-Cope-IV-ebook/dp/B00MPIXOB2 America's Christian Heritage Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2622483

Mobile has spent the last decade perfecting paid acquisition, and often, paid UA comprises 99% of a mobile game's marketing budget. PC and console gaming generate tens of billions of dollars in revenue, yet most studios have never tried performance marketing once. PC and console have always played in the field of brand, festivals, press, influencers, and content creators due to a variety of reasons that we unpack in this episode. Alexandra Takei, VP of Platform Revenue at Medal, sits down with Jules Baculard, founder and CEO of AdZap, to unpack why PC performance marketing has lagged behind mobile and what it would take to build a real acquisition stack for Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox. The conversation covers the structural challenges: thin desktop inventory, cross-device attribution, Steam's limited data visibility, long purchase windows, and the uncomfortable reality that many Steam purchases are never played. Jules explains how AdZap built their performance platform using mobile ad infrastructure, Steam's companion app, landing pages, signal engineering, and retargeting to drive qualified traffic and wishlist growth. The episode also digs into real case studies across indie and Ubisoft titles, incrementality testing, CPI benchmarks, and why wishlists still matter, even if they are an imperfect KPI.For any studio trying to make every marketing dollar work harder, this is a tactical look at PC performance's next frontierWe'd also like to thank Medal.tv for making this episode possible.

Drop us a note about the podcast. Peace sounds simple until you try to keep it. We start with Proverbs 17:1 and a hard contrast: a dry crust with peace versus a house full of feasting and conflict. From there, we don't stay abstract. We look at real violence and what it reveals about the world we're living in, then we ask what kind of homes and communities we're building when accountability disappears and bitterness becomes normal.I read through Ephesians 5:22–33 and talk plainly about Christian marriage roles, the weight of vows, and why no-fault divorce changes the incentives inside a family. When people can walk away with little cost, the pressure to repent, grow up, and love sacrificially gets replaced with the habit of “checking out.” Whether you're married, single, or raising kids, the question is the same: what habits actually produce peace over time?We also turn to Acts 7 and Stephen's martyrdom, using his courage to think about persecution, conviction, and what it means to “stand in the gap” for the weak. Along the way, we contrast forgotten heroes like a Medal of Honor recipient with our obsession over celebrities, then connect it to American history and the argument that the Holy Scriptures shape virtue, liberty, security, and even wisdom.If this challenged you, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show.#DailyBible#MedalofHonor#AmericanHeritageSupport the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribeCountryside Book Serieshttps://www.amazon.com/Countryside-Book-J-T-Cope-IV-ebook/dp/B00MPIXOB2 America's Christian Heritage Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2622483

Drop us a note about the podcast. We open with Psalm 127 and confront the lie that nonstop work can secure a home, a family, or a nation without God. We move from prayer and marriage Scripture to American history, military sacrifice, and a blunt challenge about what happens when a culture abandons Christian foundations. • Psalm 127 on anxious labor, rest, and God's protection • A brief report on a UK sexual assault case and sentencing concerns • Prayer for listeners, families, marriages, and the hurting • Proverbs 31 as a standard for character and marriage • Acts 7 with Stephen's retelling from Abraham to Moses • Children as a gift from the Lord, not a burden • Proverbs 16 on gossip, strife, and quiet evil • A DUI death case used to argue about immigration and public safety • Medal of Honor story of Jose Calugas and the reality of combat • Critique of coed deployable units in war and public safety roles • The origin of “In God We Trust” through Salmon P.

Trump kicks off his Fourth of July celebration at the Theodore Roosevelt Library, where he muses about giving his two sons and himself the Medal of Honor — describing doing so as a "threesome." Jon and Dan react to Trump's plans for Independence Day, including a Guinness World Records fireworks display, a marathon speech in 107-degree heat, and a plan for "250 pardons for 250 years." Then, the guys discuss the administration's desire to ban pregnant tourists from entering the country, Tuesday's progressive primary wins in Colorado, and the new New York Times/Siena poll that shows Democrats effectively tied in the states needed to retake the Senate.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, the growing fusion of Marxism and Islamism is a societal cancer, which has been discussed before in American Marxism. The Marxist counterrevolution devours American society, culture, politics, schools, media, and entertainment. The oppressor-oppressed framework fuels the leftist tactics, corporate capitulation and the Marxist-anarchist ideology of Antifa and BLM. Islamists and Marxists have united and they have the same objective: power.  On Power discusses power as a fundamental force shaping human existence, determining social arrangements, quality of life, personal and national fates, and the balance between liberty and tyranny. It is ubiquitous, consequential, and context-dependent, manifesting in various forms like implied, granted, or necessary powers, and inextricably linked to liberty—where its misuse leads to anarchy or oppression. The current enemy within attacks the country through these dynamics. Also, the Persian and Jewish peoples share a historical bond rooted in the reign of Cyrus the Great, the Persian emperor from around 559 to 529 BC. Most notably, he freed the captive Jews exiled by Nebuchadnezzar, allowing them to return to Jerusalem and rebuild their Temple, earning praise in Jewish Scripture as a divinely empowered savior. This ancient connection endures, as Persians today, particularly those oppressed by the Iranian regime, refer to Netanyahu as "the Great Jew," reflecting mutual affinity. Finally, Medal of Honor recipient Clint Romesha calls in and discusses his work with America's Warrior Partnership, which empowers veterans and local communities through resources, collaboration, and ownership to foster hope and reduce suicides, countering the narrative that all veterans are broken. Romesha is working with PureTalk in raising $250,000 to support America's Warrior Partnership to celebrate America's 250th birthday and they are matching every donation dollar for dollar until they reach 250,000.

Today's Headlines: Mitch McConnell has apparently been on death's door for three weeks and nobody thought to mention it — Punchbowl News reported yesterday that he was found unconscious after likely suffering a heart attack, with EMS dispatch audio referencing CPR in progress for a cardiac arrest, while his office has been telling us he's "working closely with staff," which is one way to describe being in a hospital after cardiac arrest. Harvey Weinstein is also in Bellevue Hospital with heart failure as a complication of pneumonia after being rushed from Rikers, awaiting his September sentencing for sexual assault. America's 250th birthday celebration is upon us, with Trump promising the world's longest fireworks show starting at 10:30pm, plus a speech he's calling a rally that he promised to deliver even if it's 107 degrees, so happy birthday to us. Trump also took his Qatari hand-me-down plane on its inaugural flight to North Dakota for the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library opening, where he compared himself to Teddy Roosevelt without quoting him once, interacted with an AI version of Roosevelt, floated giving himself the Medal of Honor for "taking on Russia Russia Russia," and bragged about winning the Iran war. Meanwhile, Former CIA Director John Brennan is suing the DOJ to prevent them from destroying evidence related to Trump's revenge investigations into him, which is the correct move and the only language Trump can read. Democratic panic is setting in after DSA candidate Melat Kiros, 29, beat 29-year incumbent Diana DeGette in Colorado's congressional primary — with Colorado's attorney general Phil Weiser also beating establishment favorite Michael Bennet in the governor's primary. And the Trump administration lifted its restrictions on Claude Fable 5 and Mythos, which it banned weeks ago for cybersecurity concerns, while simultaneously asking OpenAI to restrict its new GPT-5.6 Sol model for national security vetting, because the administration's relationship with AI safety is whatever is most convenient at any given moment.

Lt. Colonel Nat Serling (Oscar-winner Denzel Washington) is a recent veteran of Operation Desert Storm and a deadly mistake which he made in the heat of combat is still haunting him.  He has been tasked by his officer to investigate the service of recently deceased Captain Karen Walden (Meg Ryan) who flew a chopper on a rescue mission during that war and is now being considered for the Medal of Honor.  As Serling investigates various other soldiers who were involved in this mission, he not only realizes how getting to the truth of what actually occurred is more complicated than he expected, but he also struggles with his own trauma about an incident he was involved with which resulted in the death of a former colleague.  Directed by Edward Zwick (Glory, Blood Diamond, Legends of the Fall, Defiance), this stirring military drama/mystery thriller also co-stars Lou Diamond Phillips, Michael Moriarity, Scott Glenn, Regina Taylor, and Matt Damon.Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon Send us Fan MailSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/ 

Primary Fallout. Trump Blows Up Housing Bill for SAVE Act—Because He's Focused on the Elections. DJT Thinks He's a UFC Fighter. Hegseth's Pentagon Purge Continues. Good News for Independents in DC.  Flu Outbreak Sickens Hundreds of Troops.  Mamdani is the new king of the Democratic Socialists, and he didn't get there by accident. He understood that closed primaries are a rigged game where the players are also the referees — and he played that game to perfection while more than a million New York City independents were locked out of the vote that actually decides who represents them. Paul Rieckhoff breaks down what happened in NYC, in Maryland, and in Utah, why Brad Lander worked so hard to kill the open primaries ballot initiative, and what the rise of the far left in safe-blue cities means for the angry middle that has nowhere left to go. From there, the briefing widens out. The Senate finally voted to check Trump's Iran war powers — with an asterisk worth knowing about. Hegseth forced the retirement of General CD Donahue, the last soldier out of Afghanistan, and the patriotic purged are starting to file for office. Trump botched a Medal of Honor ceremony, fixated on UFC fighters' muscles, and pushed a SAVE Act designed to scare Americans away from the ballot box. Paul also flags some good news: DC just funded open primaries, retired Navy Admiral Nancy LaCore won her South Carolina primary, and a six-tour combat veteran named Kate Connolly is coming for Mike Lawler in the Hudson Valley. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Visit Kalshi and trade on anything.

Audie Murphy- Is He The GREATEST WARRIOR of All Time? Watch this video at- https://youtu.be/jcmmCuDc578?si=dFfPLXJb7jQku-1H January 1945 — Holtzwihr, France. Winter had frozen the Vosges Mountains solid. German armor was rolling forward. Infantry followed close behind. And the American line was collapsing. Standing between the German assault and total breakthrough was a 19-year-old Texan who barely weighed 110 pounds. Audie Murphy was already one of the most decorated soldiers in the U.S. Army — but what happened that day would place him in a category all his own. With his unit shattered, tanks burning, and enemy infantry advancing through smoke and snow, Murphy climbed onto a flaming tank destroyer, manned its .50-caliber machine gun, and held off an entire German attack — alone. He called artillery onto his own position. Fought while wounded. And refused to fall back. This film tells the full, unfiltered story of Audie Murphy — not the Hollywood myth, but the real soldier: a dirt-poor kid from Texas who survived combat most men wouldn't, carried the weight of it home, and never stopped paying the price for what he did in uniform. It's a story about courage under impossible pressure… about the cost of heroism… and about why some names are remembered long after the guns fall silent. If stories like this matter, help us keep them alive. Watch, like, comment, and share — because American courage deserves to be remembered.

The UFC fight was important. A good heel. What it costs to beat a United States senator. How did we bounce John Cornyn and how can we do that with Graham? How did California go from Regan to Newsom?

Major James Capers ran 50 missions in Vietnam as a Force Recon Marine — combat swims in shark-infested waters, a POW rescue that earned him his first Purple Heart and Bronze Star, and a four-day battle that left him wounded with his legs broken and his dog dead. He was one of the few African Americans in Force Recon, and fought his way into Combat Swimmer school when the commanding officer tried to send him home before he even started. He spent three months at Khe Sanh facing a Chinese division, and when the helicopter finally came in on his bloodiest mission, he put every man on board and stayed on the ground alone. President Trump called him personally to invite him to the White House to receive the Medal of Honor. In this episode, Major Capers walks through the missions and what it cost him to bring everybody home.
