Many historians believe that the year of 1908 was one of the most significant years that altered the course of US history. Do you know what happened in 1908? --- Henry Ford's creation of The Ford Model T automobile. Henry Ford dreamed of everyone having the ability to travel faster and travel further than they had ever gone before. So he and his team of engineers perfected the Industrial Assembly Line and successfully created the first affordable vehicle for the average American. Remarkably, this new affordable mobility didnt just move people, it reorganized a nation and started a revolution. After learning this, it got me thinking, "What if our church was as passionate to see a spiritual revolution as the Ford Motor Company was about the spreading of the Model T? What kind of revolution might we see?" Well, we don't have to guess, Luke tells us. Join us this week as we learn how prayer mobilizes us for mission.

THE CULTURAL REVOLUTION: THE CULT OF YOUTH AND ANARCHY Colleague Professor Sean McMeekin. This segment covers the chaos of the mid-1960s Cultural Revolution. Mao mobilized a "cult of youth" to destroy the "old"—teachers, books, and cultural heritage—in a bid to purge rivals and reinvigorate the revolution. McMeekin describes this as the "nihilistic side" of communism carried to its logical conclusion: the destruction of civilization itself to build a blank slate. The Red Guards unleashed anarchy that the party could barely control, attacking foreign embassies and even targeting the Soviet Union, which Mao utilized as a convenient enemy alongside the United States. This period allowed Mao to "punch above his weight" geopolitically, despite the domestic ruin. The violence and indoctrination of the young set a grim precedent, specifically inspiring the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia to arm children against their elders. NUMBER 6
Renovation, an urban renewal plan in Moscow that was announced in the spring of 2017, proposed to demolish thousands of socialist-era apartment buildings. In a country where it is rare under an authoritarian government, residents supported or opposed the redevelopment by mobilizing and organizing into local alliances. They were often shocked by their neighbors who were excited about the new housing or those suspicious of being displaced. Private Life, Public Action: How Housing Politics Mobilized Citizens in Moscow (Temple UP, 2025) by Dr. Anna Zhelnina traces how residents impacted by the relocation plan became activists despite having little to no experience organizing or even forming political affiliations and opinions. Dr. Zhelnina details the ways in which neighbors engaged in collective action, as well as the individual and structural changes these interactions caused. Dr. Zhelnina develops the concept of “housing strategies” to explain how residents' debates with their neighbors about housing were shaped by their private life strategies. She applies her findings about housing in Moscow to ongoing questions about political mobilization, demonstrating how public engagement is shaped by historical and social contexts. Examining the intersection of housing, politics, and citizenship in contemporary Russia, Private Life, Public Action offers a new way to look at urban change. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter says the St. Paul Police Department is reviewing how its officers responded to an apparent immigration action Tuesday morning on the city's east side. Police deployed projectiles and chemical irritants against people and the press. St. Paul Police Chief Axel Henry says his officers responded to the scene when a car was struck during a federal arrest. He says he then heard reports of protesters arming themselves with rocks and sticks.This comes within a week of protesters responding to an ICE raid at a St. Paul business, Bro-Tex. Hundreds of people have responded to both immigration actions and that's partially due to what's known as a “rapid response network,” where legal observers are being called to document what's happening. Edwin Torres Desantiago is the manager of the Immigrant Defense Network, which oversees the rapid response. He joined Minnesota Now guest host Chris Farrell to talk about legal observer response.
This Sunday, Danny wrapped up The Mobilized Church by breaking down the Hebrew phrase "the festal shout." He reminded us that The Mobilized Church is founded on Jesus. It lives and worships as a victorious family—a family who is invested and selfless, showing up for each other, and reminding each other we belong.
This week, Pastor Dale talked about the foundation of the church. He encouraged us to show up for each other, to remind one another that we belong, and Who we belong to. He also warned us not to let the mission statement take the place of Christ as our foundation.
In Zohran Mamdani's victory speech after being elected New York City's new mayor, he thanked those often forgotten by the politics of the city, the “Yemeni bodega owners and Mexican abuelas. Senegalese taxi drivers and Uzbek nurses. Trinidadian line cooks and Ethiopian aunties.” It got us thinking about the people who make up our Bay Area cities and whether they are represented by our politics. And we'll hear from you: Who are the often overlooked people who you see as the heart of your city?

In this episode of The Valley Current®, host Jack Russo welcomes SC Moatti, CEO of Mighty Capital and author of Mobilized, for a deep dive into how venture capital must adapt to the realities of a post-AI economy. Moatti explains how artificial intelligence is extending human capability across mind, body, and spirit, creating a new generation of “invisible products” that anticipate user needs without direct interaction. She and Jack explore the evolution of entrepreneurship from mentorship-driven beginnings to today's data-fueled, capital-efficient startups, and how VCs can stay relevant amid these rapid shifts. Moatti shares insights from scaling Mighty Capital toward a billion under management, the rise of AI-powered deal flow, and why education, authenticity, and adaptability will determine which investors (and which ideas) will survive the next decade of innovation. https://a.co/d/hsWXKLy https://mighty.capital/ Jack Russo Managing Partner Jrusso@computerlaw.com www.computerlaw.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/jackrusso "Every Entrepreneur Imagines a Better World"®️

Donald Trump overrode Governor Gavin Newsom to federalize the California National Guard to police the streets of Los Angeles. Protests over ICE’s deportation tactics are growing, prompting the Trump administration to leverage extreme authority over the protests, with Pentagon head Pete Hegseth warning that he will call in the Marines if necessary. All of this calls into question the limits of presidential authority in domestic civil disturbances and whether Posse Comitatus is still the law of the land. While it’s still on the books, it has been effectively gutted over the past 30 years by multiple administrations through procedural changes to the U.S. Code that have gone largely unnoticed.

Can something as simple as kindness really change someone's view of God? Simple acts of love and kindness are how Jesus shows up in people's lives. When someone feels seen, heard, and cared for—especially in their mess or suffering—it softens hearts. It opens a door. That's when people start to wonder, “Why are you doing this?” And we get to say, “Because Jesus loves you.” When we meet people in their suffering with compassion—feeding them, clothing them, praying with them—we're not just meeting physical needs, we're revealing the heart of Jesus. And when people experience that kind of love, they start to believe again that God is real, that He sees them, and that He hasn't forgotten them. In today's episode, I sit down with Mandy Busch and Amanda Pfeiffer to share the incredible story of how their parish community responded after an EF4 tornado struck. Instead of just reacting, they mobilized hundreds—each person using their unique spiritual gifts—to serve with compassion, leadership, and faith. We talk about how discovering and using our charisms—the gifts given by the Holy Spirit—can be a game changer for unity and fruitfulness in mission. When we stop comparing and start collaborating, the Church comes alive. Like a puzzle, every piece matters. And when we come together in love, the result is powerful.

Today is a day of celebration and transition, as many are graduating and stepping into new seasons of life. But with every new step, fear often tries to creep in, paralyzing us and making us question, “What if I fail? What if I'm not enough?” Yet, God's plan for each of us is not to be held captive by fear, but to move forward in faith, trusting that His presence is with us every step of the way. Fear is a natural response, but it does not have to control our actions or our destiny. Every day, in big and small ways, we are all “graduating”—moving from one stage to another, overcoming old struggles, and stepping into new callings. Looking at the story of Moses and the Israelites at the Red Sea, we see how fear can tempt us to retreat to what is familiar, even if it means going back to bondage. God's instruction is to “stand still”—to set aside our emotions, get out of our heads, and listen to what He is saying in our hearts. Head knowledge is valuable, but it is the presence of God within us that truly guides and sustains us. Our primary calling is not just to do things for God, but to be with Him, to live out of His presence, and to let His Spirit flow through us like a river.

Zaina Greene on mobilizing the church during our The Great Commission series.
Have you ever felt stuck between where you were and where God was calling you—like you stepped out in faith, but the destination wasn't clear? That space of uncertainty, discomfort, and transformation is what we call liminality—and it's not just a challenge, it's a necessary stage in God's process of forming disciples and mobilizing the Church.In this episode, we explore how liminality is woven throughout Scripture—from Abraham's journey into the unknown to Israel's wilderness season and the disciples' transformation at Pentecost. We'll also unpack why churches often resist liminality, how avoiding it leads to stagnation, and why embracing it fuels missional momentum.Join us as we challenge the fear of the in-between and reframe liminality as the birthplace of movement, faith, and Kingdom impact. Where is God calling you to step into the unknown? Let's dive in and discover why the space between the past and the promise is exactly where transformation happens.
"Whiteness” is being used as it always has been: to separate exploited working class white people from intersectional solidarity and serve as buffer between marginalized peoples and the Elites. Today we are going to be talking about the new Trump administration and the driving force behind all their policies, its blitz of executive orders, the perverse need to control women's bodies and their obsession with nativism - ie the policy of protecting the interests of native-born or established inhabitants against those of immigrants. Now that American Nativism is extending to South Africa as President Trump Takes of the Cause of Elon Musk, child of South African Apartheid, who is upset that white Akfriaaners are being dispossessed of their lands (they're really not) and threatens to cut funding to South Africa over an Issue that really has nothing to do with us. Just kidding, newsflash, Israel is involved. Mother Jones Article: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/02/elon-musk-trump-white-genocide-south-africa-aid-white-land-removal-twitter-x/

Preparing yourself to live mobilized and to have natural spiritual conversations may be the most important thing that we do. Missional living within the everyday rhythms of life is what we personally do, it is what we promote, and it's why we partner with pastors and churches. It is also one of the most challenging things to do. Today we want to discuss some ways that we can overcome these challenges by preparing ourselves to live every day as “sent ones.”
