Podcasts about moral compass

From the author of The Moral Compass and The Death of Outrage✨ A collection of classic tales that build strong hearts and minds.

Today we're trashing feminism some more, because it obviously deserves it. Feminism is not only unbiblical, it's extremely destructive for all of society. We'll talk about why Christian podcasters like Allie Beth Stuckey shouldn't defend their feminism while claiming to follow Christ, and why Christianity itself is a patriarchy, by God's design. It's time for biblical men to stop waiting for permission from feminists and take back the authority God gave them. We'll also discuss more of the Trump administration's mistakes, including this ridiculous new 50-year mortgage idea that proves how far from wisdom our leaders have fallen.

Frank Glaspey sharing a message with the Grace congregation about the role the church in our culture (society) today. We cannot be salt and light if we only sit back and watch. 

How do you know what's right when there's no religious rulebook anymore? This week I'm talking about how I'm rebuilding my moral compass and working through a bunch of ethical dilemmas — like whether my decision to publicly call out Christian podcasters felt morally aligned, what I'd do if I found out a friend was cheating (or being cheated on), and the ethics of parents doing online sex work. I also get into cancel culture, vaccine mandates, the Whitney Leavitt hate train, and when airing dirty laundry crosses a line. Spoiler: I'm often still torn.

What happens when AI stops making mistakes… and starts misleading you?This discussion dives into one of the most important — and least understood — frontiers in artificial intelligence: AI deception.We explore how AI systems evolve from simple hallucinations (unintended errors) to deceptive behaviors — where models selectively distort truth to achieve goals or please human feedback loops.

In this sermon by Pastor Chris Romig, the message focuses on spiritual alertness and the urgent need for repentance in response to escalating sin as described in Revelation chapter 9. Chris begins by praying that the congregation would wake up from spiritual slumber and be ready to hear God's word, particularly as they study a passage depicting an intensifying judgment upon the earth. He draws attention to the five prominent sins emphasized in the closing verses of the chapter: idolatry, murder, sorceries (occult and drug abuse), sexual immorality, and theft. Chris points out that not only will these sins be rampant in the end times, but they are already increasing in society today. He explores how modern forms of idolatry include crafting false images of God that suit personal or cultural preferences, while murder and the devaluing of life have become normalized in headlines and cultural attitudes. He also warns about the growing acceptance of occult practices, substance abuse, and sexual immorality, even within some Christian denominations. Theft and lawlessness, he notes, are prevalent and often justified in today's world. Chris's central challenge is for listeners to do “spiritual house cleaning,” examining their own lives for any trace of these sins not just lamenting their presence in society, but repenting personally. He reminds the congregation that true repentance means turning away from sin and towards God, embracing grace and the hope found in Jesus Christ. Concluding with a call to readiness for Christ's return, Chris encourages believers to seek the cleansing power of the Holy Spirit, to repent fully, and to remain faithful, trusting that God's grace is sufficient but also striving to honor Him in every area of life.

From the author of The Moral Compass and The Death of Outrage✨ A collection of classic tales that build strong hearts and minds.

In this episode, we're thrilled to welcome Reverend Michael Parker, the Chaplain General of the British Army. Reverend Parker has been dedicated to military chaplaincy for over 25 years, offering unwavering spiritual and pastoral support to soldiers. As Chaplain General, he plays a pivotal role in overseeing the spiritual and moral guidance of the Army, ensuring the well being of its personnel in both everyday and high pressure situations. Reverend Parker's leadership philosophy is deeply rooted in the concept of servant leadership. He believes in leading through service, putting others' needs first and gaining recognition and trust through that commitment. His approach to leadership began in civilian ministry and evolved through his time in the military, where he embraced the Army's leadership values while maintaining a strong faith based approach to supporting others. Throughout his career, Reverend Parker has been at the forefront of advocating for pastoral care, spiritual support, and moral guidance within the military. His leadership style is reflective, taking the time to think critically about how he leads and how others perceive him. He understands that effective leadership is about more than command; it's about ensuring those under your leadership are morally and emotionally supported. Reverend Parker has also worked in high stakes environments, including conflict zones, where he's seen firsthand how soldiers face immense ethical and moral challenges. His role as Chaplain General has been essential in helping individuals navigate these challenges, offering a listening ear and providing moral support during difficult times. He is passionate about diversity within the Army's chaplaincy, working to ensure that the chaplaincy reflects the broad range of faiths and beliefs present within the Army. Reverend Parker's leadership is shaped by his belief that the chaplaincy's purpose is to care for the Army's people, advocating for those who feel they don't have a voice and challenging behaviors that go against the Army's values. We're excited to hear from Reverend Parker as he shares his insights on leadership, the evolving role of chaplains, and how they support soldiers in the face of both everyday challenges and extraordinary pressures.

"Who do I need to become to live a happy, healthy, fulfilling, and meaningful life?" That's what this powerful episode of the Balanced Warrior Podcast is all about. Finding your moral compass. Drawing from their work with business leaders in creating a "code of honor" for their organizations, Coaches Paul and Chris stress that this set of non-negotiable values is just as critical in our personal lives. Without one, we risk drifting, becoming distracted, and losing sight of the values that create peace, joy, and harmony. Having a moral compass helps us be better every day and create a pathway to not just financial success, but multi-dimensional success and internal character growth. Join Paul Melella and Chris Berlow, authors of the bestselling book You Have Infinite Power for a discussion about your moral compass. Key Discussion Points The Necessity of a Moral Compass: Most people are chasing external success (money, status) but fail to define who they need to be to live a meaningful life. Defining a "Code of Honor": A code of honor is a set of non-negotiable values and principles a person or team commits to living by both professionally and personally. The Il Il Shin Philosophy…Be Better Ever Day: The discussion ties your moral compass to their mentor's principle, Il Il Shin (be better every day), which emphasizes small daily improvements in areas like respect, patience, love, and discipline. Internal vs. External Success: True, lasting success operates on the "Be, Do, Have" principle, starting with internal character development before external achievements. The Danger of Distraction and Low Awareness: External circumstances and social media can easily pull people from their center, emphasizing the need for discipline to focus on one's values and main priorities.

In this episode of God Talk the host examines a recent Gallup poll showing 9.3% of U.S. adults now identify as LGBTQ+, with steep generational differences: Silent generation 1.8%, Boomers 3%, Gen X 5.1%, Millennials 14.2%, and Gen Z 23% (with notable gender gaps: Gen Z women 31% vs men 12%). The host links this rise to the removal of the Ten Commandments and weakening of moral absolutes, shares personal anecdotes about corporate Pride promotions, discusses Texas's move to restore the Ten Commandments in schools, and warns of societal consequences without a moral reset.

Hi there! Welcome to Episode 315 of Never on the Backfoot Podcast. From the MCC's lofty ideals to the raw heat of the middle, the “Spirit of Cricket” is never far from controversy — but what does it really mean in the modern game? In this episode, we dive into two recent flashpoints that lit up cricket's moral debate: Wiaan Mulder's self-declaration at 367, stopping short of Brian Lara's record out of respect, and Ben Stokes' Old Trafford ‘Handshake-gate' with India, where cultural values, milestone-chasing, and perceived hypocrisy clashed. Are these moments examples of sportsmanship, missed opportunity, or just personal choice being judged through someone else's lens?

Join host Jim Ellermeyer, behavioral health therapist, for a powerful Fishing Without Bait conversation on living with integrity, building internal validation, and focusing on solutions rather than problems—even in the face of political division and global conflict. Jim shares the five core attributes that shape a grounded life: knowing right from wrong, having a moral compass, being dependable, being honest, and treating others with courtesy and respect. Drawing from his deep roots in the 12-step recovery world, Jim explains why magnifying problems only fuels negativity, and how “studied indifference” and critical thinking can help us see past misinformation in today's polarized media environment. He and co-host Mike discuss the need for unity, the dangers of outside forces driving division, and the importance of leaders who act with integrity. Jim also offers a heartfelt reflection on the Israel–Gaza conflict, expressing support for Israel's right to exist while condemning the killing of innocents and calling for compassion for all human beings. His words challenge us to look beyond sides and politics, focusing instead on shared humanity.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”A dark web of money, power, and government complicity surrounds the Jeffrey Epstein case – arguably the largest child sex trafficking operation ever uncovered. Crime investigator Tom Hampson takes us beyond the headlines to expose how this predator operated with impunity for decades.Epstein's journey from financial mastermind to sex trafficker reveals a troubling pattern. Initially valued for his ability to create shell corporations for arms dealers and billionaires, Epstein leveraged these connections to build an operation that processed $1.5 billion in transactions related to human trafficking – with major banks blocking suspicious activity reports from government review.The podcast explores disturbing historical precedents like the CIA's "Operation Midnight Climax," where intelligence agencies hired prostitutes to drug and film unwitting men in sexual encounters. This context helps explain how government agencies became entangled with Epstein's network, with former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino stating after his investigation: "I'll never be the same after learning what I've learned."Read Part 2: The Troubling Case of Jeffrey EpsteinFollow us and watch on X: John Paul II Renewal @JP2RenewalSubscribe to our Newly Resurrected YouTube Channel!Read Jack's Latest Blog: "The Tale We've Fallen Into"Support the show

Michigan's Democratic Senator Elissa Slotkin's push to show the coolness of centrism to younger and independent voters isn't going as smoothly as she and her people are pushing.  LOL's Pat Johnston devotes a little more time than usual in this "Friday Short" to describe how Slotkin's failing in these chaotic and scary times which call for stark moral clarity.  Slotkin is using critical words against Israel's actions in Gaza, but refuses to show-up to vote on a resolution blocking offensive weapons to Israel. Nor will she declare Israel's actions in Gaza as a genocide. The lack of moral clarity as fascism takes over in the United States isn't leadership.  It's cowardice.  NOTES: To view the entire "Breaking Points" interview featuring Michigan Democratic Senator Elissa Slotkin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFrEJTFbSTc&t=962s "32% in U.S. Back Israel's Military Action in Gaza, a New Low."

Grandpa Bill Overviews my upcoming AUDIO show forthcoming a bit later today. The Maine Mentor Moments in Business and in Life. Today, I want to share a 'tidbit' that really shaped my journey, especially my decision to leave corporate America back in '95 and go solo. It's about a concept called 'Ethical Egoism,' and trust me, understanding it might just change how you view the business world, and even your own choices.So, what exactly is Ethical Egoism? Well, it's a philosophical idea that basically says: you should act in your own self-interest. Not just that people do act that way, but that it's the right thing to do. It's a theory that praises actions that put your own interests first, and it suggests you're morally obligated to avoid worrying about others if it doesn't benefit you directly. Think of it this way: if it helps you, it's good. It comes in a couple of flavors – individual, where I look out for my own interests, and universal, where everyone should look out for their own interests.Now, here's where it gets really interesting, and where it ties directly into the idea of 'expediency' – doing what's practical or convenient, even if it seems a bit questionable. For an ethical egoist, an action is morally right only if it benefits the person doing it. Take something simple like telling the truth. An ethical egoist wouldn't say truth-telling is inherently good. Instead, they'd say you should tell the truth because lying might come back to bite  you and negatively impact your happiness. So, principles, in this view, become secondary to personal advantage. They're useful tools that can be set aside if they get in the way of your own gain.This concept really resonated with me as I navigated the corporate landscape. I saw a growing trend where decisions, especially in the pursuit of profit, seemed to be driven less by universal ethical principles and more by what was immediately advantageous for individuals or the company, regardless of the broader impact. It felt like a lot of 'principles' were being sacrificed on the altar of 'expediency.' This wasn't just about bad apples; it felt like a systemic shift, a 'self-interest as the moral compass' approach becoming increasingly prevalent. And that, my friends, was a big part of why I decided to chart my own course and go solo. I wanted to operate with a different compass.But here's the kicker: Ethical Egoism isn't without its serious flaws. Critics point out that it offers no real way to resolve conflicts between people, because if everyone is only looking out for themselves, what happens when interests clash? It could even obligate you to stop others from doing what's 'right' if it doesn't serve  your interest. And perhaps the biggest criticism is that it's logically self-defeating if everyone adopted it. An ethical egoist wouldn't want everyone else to be an egoist, because it would work against their own best interest if others weren't acting altruistically towards them! It's a fascinating, albeit problematic, idea.   So, as you reflect on your own business and life journeys, consider this: Are the decisions you see, or even make, truly principled, or are they leaning towards expediency driven by self-interest? It's a question worth pondering, especially if you're looking to build something truly sustainable and meaningful.

The Nato summit in The Hague did get member states to agree on ramping up their defence spending - and seemed to placate Donald Trump. But has this week changed anything for Ukraine? What happened to the prior US “two-week deadline” to agree a ceasefire - and will those sought-after Patriot missiles ever arrive in Kyiv? Jamie Coomarasamy and Vitaly Shevchenko answer all that, and discuss the knotty details of prosecuting alleged war crimes with BBC Verify's Olga Robinson and the Ukraine correspondent James Waterhouse. The producers were Laurie Kalus, Rufus Gray, and Polly Hope. The technical producer was Dafydd Evans. The series producer is Tim Walklate.

We are all well-aware, at this point, that there is a very clear and deliberate assault against the concepts of manliness and masculinity. In fact, men are falling behind on some of the most crucial metrics you can image for a healthy society: depression rates, suicide, higher education, income potential, incarceration, substance abuse, committed relationships, workforce participation, and the list goes on and on.  My guest today, after an incredibly successful start in Hollywood as Mike Seaver on Growing Pains, Kirk Cameron, has made it his life's mission to reclaim masculinity, not only in his home but to become a champion of manliness for all men who are working to unpack what it means to be a man.  Today, we talk about the biggest threats to masculinity, how we can lead well within the walls of our home, how righteousness and truth are the foundation of manliness, how to reclaim our power, work with our women, and lead the next generation who will eventually lead us.
