Send us a text#344 - Some runners will tell you stretching isn't important. They'll say never stretch before a run. Well, stretching can be confusing. Sometimes, Dynamic Stretching, or Dynamic movements gets confused with Static Stretching, which should never be done before you run. Dynamic Stretching, or Movements should be done before your run. This week, I help differentiate between the two and discuss why each set of stretches/exercises are important. All links are on the show website.

What if multiplication in the Kingdom doesn't look like efficiency but instead like deep, costly investment? In this episode of the H3X Podcast, Mark and Dave unpack the concept of precision harvesting: how Jesus filtered and invested in the few to see lasting multiplication. They explore why disciple making is inherently “inefficient” and why that's actually the key to compounding growth over time.You'll walk away with a framework for discerning where you are in the process and how habits and rhythms like the three-thirds process can build movements from micro to macro.Show Notes:Read the Sentergy article on Habits and Rhythms referenced in this episode: Habits and Rhythms: The Beating Heart of MovementCovo Multipliers:Join the Signal Group: To connect with others living the co-vocational lifestyle, share wins/challenges, and get early access to event updates: https://forms.gle/TWB6kGRQWdpgbvFu8Prepare for an Immersion Experience During UPNA Conference: Details for the conference here - https://www.unreachedpeoples2025.com/

In this compelling episode, Michael Jaco sits down with author and truth-teller Sheila Holm to connect the dots between current events and hidden historical forces. Sheila breaks down the shocking demolition of the Federal Reserve building in Washington, D.C., the strategic role of U.S. Marshals, and the military's pivotal maneuvers on June 14th. Drawing from her new book, Sheila exposes the 45-point plan designed to weaken America—and reveals practical strategies to counter these tactics. The discussion also uncovers the influence of secretive groups like the Knights of Pythias and the Masons, the enduring reach of the Vatican and British Crown, and the essential role of the militia in safeguarding freedom.

White Money in Black Movements (WMBM): How The Ford Foundation United With US Intelligence To Destroy Black Militancy Part 1: Foundations of US Intelligence's Infiltration of Black Movements - In episode 113 and part 1 of our new series, the trio dissect the early history of the FBI & US Army intelligence's infiltration of Black movements and communities. The threat of "Negro Uprisings" and Black militancy in the early 20th century led white racists in power to surveil and disrupt anything that sniffed of militant Black nationalism. This history sets up future episodes where the ties between the Ford Foundation and US intelligence will be explored further. Peace!

Tagging tiger sharks, seamount navigation, and a great white shark called Princess Sparkles... This week, we're diving into the fascinating world of shark movement ecology with research scientist Dr Sammy Andrzejaczek to explore how and why sharks move about the oceans - in particular zooming in on their vertical space use and asking why some sharks take frequent dives to depths of over 1,000 metres. We also discuss the potential effects of the lunar cycle, and what white sharks are up to off the coast of central California. And, we take you behind the scenes as Sammy explains some of the different technologies that she uses to carry out this research and live her dream working with these incredible animals in the wild.

Send us a text message and tell us your thoughts.What drives someone to pick up a camera and document untold Caribbean history with no formal training? For Richard Vaughn, it was a simple realization: the political stories that shaped the modern Caribbean were either missing from film archives or told through a heavily biased lens. Vaughn takes us on his remarkable journey from curious Jamaican-American to award-winning documentary filmmaker. With us, he describes what would become "The Love Trilogy" – three powerful documentaries examining pivotal Caribbean political figures: Michael Manley of Jamaica, the Grenada Revolution, and Cheddi Jagan of Guyana. The trilogy's name emerged organically from Manley's own words about his political movement: "The word is love."The conversation weaves together reflections on Caribbean self-determination, the connection between political movements and cultural expressions like reggae music, and practical advice for aspiring documentarians. Vaughn's simple guidance resonates beyond filmmaking: identify what needs preserving in your community's history, start with whatever resources you have, and persist despite obstacles. Listen now to discover how documentary film serves as both historical preservation and a tool for balanced understanding of the Caribbean's complex political landscape. What stories in your community deserve similar documentation?Richard Vaughan born in New York to Jamaican immigrants in 1980. Driven by a passion for his culture and determination to educate and tell stores that history often forgets. Winner of the Madrid International Filmmaker Festival 2017 for Best Editing of a Documentary and the 2017 Van Gogh Award: Prodigy Auteur at the 2017 Amsterdam Film Festival for his second documentary Rolling Along: An Inline Movement. Previous credits include The Word is Love: Jamaica's Michael Manley (2012), Rolling Along: An Inline Movement (2017), Four Years of Love: The Grenada Revolution (2021), The Price of Love: Cheddi Jagan (2024).

Suruchi Mazumdar's book addresses the complex relationship between India's evolving, emerging media landscape, the political and economic interests of diverse media actors, and movements opposing contentious issues such as market-based economic reforms and religious nationalism. In the mid-2000s, Singur and Nandigram, nondescript semi-urban and rural areas in the east Indian state of West Bengal, suddenly became the center of national and international media attention and debates on state-led neoliberal agenda. The point of controversy were local agitations provoked by the then state government's plans to acquire agricultural land for large scale corporate industrial projects. The movements by farmers to protect their agricultural land were described variously as challenges to neoliberal initiatives and widespread social tension that put a temporary brake to state-led market reforms. In traditional liberal narratives, the triumph of economic reforms was expected to replace value-based ideology with global economic principles, perceived as objective and neutral. But the forces of neoliberalism became strongly entrenched in India alongside religious nationalism. Such political economic developments paralleled with the simultaneous expansion of India's digital and traditional media sectors, consolidation of market forces, the co-option of both old and new media by powerful actors, and opportunities of mediated democratization and activism. While narratives of economic liberalization and global trends of commercialized journalism have been amply documented, this book addresses the tension between mainstream media's political and commercial logic, movements and citizen-led activisms questioning dominant development and religious nationalist agenda, and the possibilities of political diversity and democratic participation in the Indian city of Kolkata. By focusing on the hybridities, commonalities, differences, and complexities in Kolkata's mainstream news media and emerging digital space, this book captures the regional and linguistic variations in the studies of media, movements, and politics in India. Dr Suruchi Mazumdar is an Associate Professor at Jindal School of Journalism and Communication, O.P. Jindal Global University in India. Dr Priyam Sinha is an Alexander Von Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Institute for Asian and African Studies, Humboldt University in Berlin. Learn more about your ad choices.

The NEW AGE movement isn't just about crystals, suburban yoga studios, dubious medical cures and positive affirmations – though there’s plenty of all of that to be found on YouTube. The concept of changing your mindset, accessing a higher spiritual power or vibration – and ushering in a utopia is a powerful and enduring promise that emerges again and again in America. And the American New Age movement has deep ties to Washington State and the West. Journalist Leah Sottile examined the history of several spiritualists and new age leaders – some may say cult leaders – in a new book published earlier this year. It’s called Blazing Eye Sees All: Love Has Won, False Prophets, and the Fever Dream of the American New Age.

How corporations ally with movements only to drain them, discard them, and return to what they have always beenCorporations often look like allies when social movements rise. They adopt slogans, release campaigns, and revise policies to align with whatever cause dominates the moment. To the public, they appear progressive. To activists, they seem to stand with the movement. But this is not true allyship—it is a survival strategy.Corporations serve one master: capital. Shareholders, financiers, and regulators dictate their behavior. Customers matter only because they support profit. Movements and ideals have no real standing. They are tools to be used when convenient, ignored when they are not.This is why ESG, DEI, and other activist-driven programs were embraced. Environmental and diversity initiatives were not moral awakenings; they were paths to more investment and better public relations. CEOs openly admitted this. GE's Jeff Immelt once said, “Green makes us green,” revealing the real motive: profit.When conditions shift, corporations abandon their “values.” ESG, once tied to capital, is now quietly dropped as political pressure grows. DEI programs, once aggressively funded, are the first cut during layoffs. Pride campaigns shrink after backlash. Yesterday's loud slogans fade into silence when they stop serving shareholder interests.Examples are clear. Bud Light's partnership with Dylan Mulvaney was meant to signal progress but backfired, leading to retreat and reassignment. Target's Pride displays were scaled back after threats and lost revenue. Starbucks, once a safe zone for visibly nonconforming workers, is tightening codes and controlling access. Google and Meta, which once celebrated activism, are now dismantling DEI departments and sidelining those who were most vocal.The human cost is severe. Many employees came out or built their identities during these cultural bubbles. They believed the changes were permanent. Activists spoke up thinking they were safe. Whistleblowers were celebrated during #MeToo. Now they are quietly labeled “troublemakers” and avoided in hiring. The protection they trusted has vanished.This mirrors Afghanistan. Locals who collaborated with foreign powers during occupations took risks believing in a new future. When the invaders left, they were punished as traitors. Corporate collaborators face a softer version of the same fate: valuable during the surge, discarded when the movement fades.Corporations absorb the energy of movements, profit from it, and erase it when it no longer pays. They reflect whatever power is in front of them but hold no belief of their own. When the pressure is gone, they return to their core purpose: serving capital.Movements confuse compliance for moral support. They believe the partnership is real. But corporations never believed in the cause. When the energy drains, they roll back reforms and erase the evidence. Those who embraced the movement fully are left exposed.This cycle repeats endlessly. Movements surge, corporations comply, energy fades, and rollback follows. The company survives because it bends without breaking. It waits out the storm, just as Afghanistan waits out empires.Corporations are the perfect collaborators. They give everything demanded during the occupation, only to undo it later. They profit from the surge, discard the allies, and return to what they have always been.
Afghanistan has long been called the “graveyard of empires.” Powerful nations have marched into its mountains with plans to conquer and reform it. They built schools, sent aid, and installed new governments. For a time, the changes seemed to work. Yet each empire—British, Soviet, American—eventually left defeated. Afghanistan absorbed their energy, took what it needed, and when the invaders left, the country reverted to what it had always been.This happens because Afghanistan is built on deep-rooted inertia and entropy. Inertia means it stays the same unless acted on by massive force. Entropy means that new systems fall apart unless energy is constantly applied. Foreign powers pour in energy, but Afghanistan outlasts them. When they tire, their reforms collapse. Afghanistan remains.America works the same way, but with movements instead of armies. Movements arrive like cultural invaders. They come with slogans, protests, policies, and demands. They intend to reshape the country. And for a moment, they seem to succeed. Corporations join in. Schools rewrite programs. Politicians pass laws. The country mirrors the movement's ideals. Those who play along benefit—money, status, approval.But this compliance is tactical, not permanent. Like Afghanistan pandering to foreign powers, America gives movements everything they ask for. It lets them win visible victories. It drains their energy. When the movement's force burns out, America disperses what's left and rolls back the changes. The culture returns to its old state.Afghanistan's resistance comes from its tribal nature. Loyalties are local, not national. Foreigners misunderstand this and fail to control it. America's resistance comes from its own version of tribalism. It is a federation by name, but states and regions behave like independent clans. Rural and urban cultures mistrust each other. The South distrusts the coasts. Local identities overpower national unity. Movements trying to impose sweeping reform run into this wall of local resistance. On the surface, people comply. Underneath, they hold to their way of life and wait for the storm to pass.Afghanistan's strategy is patience. It pretends to comply, takes foreign aid, and waits for the invader to weaken. America does the same with movements. Civil Rights, affirmative action, voting rights, Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, DEI, COVID lockdowns, climate change initiatives, and now Free Palestine—all have followed the same pattern. They arrive with force. America appears to transform. Then energy fades. The reforms weaken. The old patterns return.This is not hate. It is cultural physics. Inertia keeps the country tied to what it knows. Entropy erodes new structures unless they are constantly reinforced. When energy is gone, rollback begins.Afghanistan is a black hole for foreign empires. They pour in power, wealth, and ideals, only to be swallowed. America is a black hole for social movements. It swallows their energy, their victories, their slogans. The reforms scatter into its vast social fabric until nothing is left. The movement dies, but the country remains.Afghanistan waits out armies. America waits out movements. Both drain what tries to change them. Both give everything demanded during occupation only to undo it later. Both survive by being patient, by letting outsiders or reformers burn themselves out.Afghanistan is the graveyard of empires.America is the graveyard of movements.Both absorb, endure, and remain unchanged at their core.

What constitutes a Muslim idiom Bible translation, and why is it dangerous? Alex and Scott sit down with Dr. Ant Greenham, a retired professor of Islamic Studies at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, to address the theological and missiological dangers associated with Muslim Insider Movements (MIMs) and insider Bible translations. Dr. Greenham critiques the approach where biblical terminology is replaced with alternatives like to make the gospel palatable to Muslim audiences. Dr. Greenham explains the two major frameworks guiding missions: the theological approach, which emphasizes doctrinal faithfulness, and the anthropological approach, which focuses on cultural accessibility.

Send us a textThis conversation explores Chapter 9, titled 'Jump', from Roy Moran's book 'Spent Matches', focusing on the urgent need for spiritual transformation and the shifts required for effective disciple-making movements. The discussion emphasizes the importance of internal transformation, the necessity of redefining success, and the role of leadership in fostering a culture of movements. Practical steps for initiating change and the call to embrace a new kind of reformation are highlighted, culminating in a challenge for listeners to consider their own willingness to 'jump' into this transformative journey.TakeawaysMoran confronts his biases about disciple-making movements.In Western culture, DMM is often more effective than CPM.The Mann Gulch fire illustrates the need for radical shifts.We must prioritize function over form in church structures.Kodak's failure shows the danger of clinging to old forms.LEGO's success demonstrates the importance of adaptability.Eustace Scrubb's transformation symbolizes internal change needed for movements.Mind shifts are crucial for spiritual movements to emerge.Leaders should think like revolutionaries, not marketers.Starting small and embracing failure is essential for growth.Resources: Resource GuideListen in one of 20 different languages - !Coming Soon!*This is an AI-generated podcast

They want us to believe that silence is strength. That if we keep our heads down, the storm will pass. But we are the storm. And our storm doesn't need fists. It needs strategy, courage, and the fire of militant nonviolence. In the latest episode of Gaslit Nation, Jamila Raqib, the executive director of the Albert Einstein Institution, delivers a masterclass in radical defiance without a single weapon raised. Raqib doesn't just talk resistance. She teaches the art of war, the nonviolent kind, built on discipline, planning, and unshakeable conviction. She carries forward the torch of Gene Sharp, the quiet revolutionary whose writings, like From Dictatorship to Democracy, which the Gaslit Nation Book Club read in March, have armed movements from Serbia to Syria. His ideas are dangerous, not because they incite chaos, but because they illuminate how to take power back without bloodshed. And dictators fear that more than any rifle. This is militant nonviolence. It's strategic. It's disruptive. And when practiced with precision, it brings regimes to their knees. Blueprint for the Battle Ahead Raqib outlines a crucial truth: power is not monolithic. It comes from the obedience of people, workers, civil servants, police, students. Withdraw that obedience, and even the strongest tyrant collapses. Take Serbia. Take Bangladesh. The world keeps giving us proof that nonviolent action isn't weak; it's lethal to authoritarianism when wielded with discipline. These movements succeeded not because they were polite, but because they were strategic. Organized. Defiant. This is how repression backfires. Every crackdown becomes fuel. Every jail cell, every bullet, every propaganda campaign becomes a rallying cry, if activists know how to use it. Weapons of the Peaceful Warrior Raqib reminds us that art is a weapon. Culture is armor. Community is infrastructure. And technology is a battlefield. Whether it empowers or undermines you depends on how well you understand it. Movements rise and fall on logistics, not just slogans. Fear will always be there. That's normal. But as Raqib insists, fear doesn't mean stop. It means go smart. Fear is a compass, if it scares the regime, you're probably doing something right. Nonviolence is Not Passive. It's Precision. This conversation isn't about kumbaya. It's about battle-readiness. It's about studying the terrain of power, exploiting the cracks, and toppling giants with the slow, grinding force of disciplined resistance. Nonviolence doesn't mean surrender. It means refusing to give your enemy the war they want. It means winning on your terms. And in a time of rising fascism, digital surveillance, and global despair, we must turn to the tools that have worked, again and again. So study Gene Sharp. Listen to Raqib. Organize like your life depends on it, because it does. This is not the time for feel-good hashtags. This is the time for public education, mass mobilization, and strategic action. Nonviolent resistance is not soft. It's the hardest fight there is. But it's the one that wins. EVENTS AT GASLIT NATION: NEW DATE!
