Show Notes Lemuel: I am Lemuel Gonzalez, repentant sinner, and along with Amity Armstrong, your heavenly host, I invite you to find a place in the pew for today's painless Sunday School lesson. Without Works. Amity: Today we will look at the new speaker of the house and his opinions in Not Necessarily the Good News and Lemuel will look into the woman who started it all in Pillars of Wisdom. Necessarily the Good News  Amity: Current speaker of the House , Republican Mike Johnson expressed his point of view this way:  “I am a bible believing christian. Someone asked me today, in the media, they said, ‘It's curious, people are curious. What does Mike Johnson think about any issue under the sun?' I said, ‘Well, go pick up a Bible off your shelf, and read it. That's my worldview.'” This is problematic for many reasons. There are many biblical translations, accepted by many parts of the church.  Speaker Johnson is a Protestant, and beyond that a Baptist. There are 57 Baptists currently serving in the House of Representatives, the second largest Christian denomination represented, the largest being the Catholic Church, with 122 members. When a speaker says that the Bible is his opinion, what does it mean, and why is it important to us? SUMMATION: In the end I would say this: When Pilate asked Jesus if he was a king, Jesus responded: “My kingdom is not of this world … “ The separation of Church and state is a construct instituted by Jesus Christ. Maybe Speaker Johnson's bible doesn't include this verse.  Amity:  And now, in honor of the season, we try to understand a little more about the woman central to the Christian Church.  Pillars of Wisdom:  Amity: “At the center of this mystery, in the midst of this wonderment of faith, stands Mary. As the loving mother of the redeemer, she was the first to experience it. ‘To the wonderment of nature you bore your Creator." -Pope John Paul the Second, Redemptoris Mater Lemuel:  She is designated with the title Theokotos in the Eastern Christian Church: the God - bearer. The Immaculate Conception in the Roman Church where she is also referred to as the Queen of Heaven, Our Lady, and Star of the Sea. There are few more important persons in the Christian world than Mary. For a person who changed the world we don't know very much about her. She was betrothed to Joseph, a carpenter, perhaps a good deal older than her and may have even been a widower with other children from his first marriage. We know that she had a maternal aunt, Elizabeth, a devout, much older woman who also brought a miraculous child into the world.  Mary received a visitation; she was informed that she, among all the women of the world, was chosen to bring God into the world, if she chose to receive it. With her consent, she brings this child into the world.  The rest of that story becomes her son's story; his mission, and sacrifice, but she remains in the background. She urges him to spare a newly married couple the embarrassment of running out of wine at their wedding feast.  She was present at the crucifixion; Jesus tells her that John, the youngest disciple, was to act as her son.  The years after this, she drops away from focus. She begins reappearing in illustrations in catacombs at the beginning of the second century. She is given some of the titles mentioned earlier. Some of the titles were borrowed from earlier Goddesses, and some of the depictions as well. A woman with a baby, a woman weeping for her murdered son.  There are no canonical stories about her after she is a part of the miraculous gathering on the day of Pentecost, but that story implies that she was a leader in the early church. Her death is never described, but her Assumption, (her body being taken intact into heaven) is a doctrine in much of the high church.  Ancient peoples come to us as ciphers, and most of the biblical people we meet are shadowy figures with unexplained motives. We don't understand Judas Iscariot, and can only guess why he did what he did. A person like Joseph the Carpenter comes across as decent and kind, but he is painted in quick, efficient strokes with no color or detail.  SUMMATION: Mary is, in the faith, the most important person who ever lived. She is a distant example of perfection in some branches of the Church. The best way to find her is to see a young woman bearing a child, mourning that grown child's death, then carrying him on in her heart for the rest of her life.  Amity: That brings us to the end of this week's episode.

(5/3/23) Markets have stagnated somewhat in anticipation of this afternoon's Fed announcement, anticipating a 25-bp interest rate hike. What matters more will be the language from Jerome Powell relating the Fed's mood and future direction. Oil prices are now falling on weakening demand: What if we're already in Recession? A key indicator is oil prices, which have fallen on weakening demand. Meanwhile, expectations of a market disaster have failed to materialize; a pause in rate hikes would not necessarily bode well for markets (why would the Fed pause or lower rates??) Indications of bottoming mf market cycle; restocking of inventories could provide some market support. Key Indicators of Recession: Falling oil prices; the market conundrums: narrowing breadth, with only a few stocks doing well. This is not your father's stock market.

I've been learning about sales. NOT my natural zone of genius, but I'm necessarily getting better at it, partly thanks to one of our clients, Paul Reilly at The Q and A Sales Podcast. On a recent episode called “What separates top achieving salespeople?” Paul said that 79% of top achievers' sales success is because of the customer relationships they build.  His team asked buyers and decision makers: Why would you choose one partner over another? Relationship with a salesperson ranked higher, meaning more important, than price. And part of relationship building is ENTERTAINMENT. You may be thinking, “But Andrea, I'm not selling anything when I'm making a podcast!” Wrong! On the surface, you may have a podcast to help you sell a product or service, join your membership, come to your event. Dig deeper, and you may be selling them on an idea, concept, or a change you want to see in your niche. And ultimately, you are ALWAYS selling them on continuing to spend their valuable time and attention listening to your podcast. So how are YOU going to make your podcast more entertaining as you build that relationship with your listener (i.e. your customer?) I've got 10 ideas for you!  You may be thinking, “Do I have to sing? Be funny? Do investigative journalism? Sound design????” NOT NECESSARILY! Play the episode to find out what to do and how to choose your authentic entertainment style. *** Get the full show notes including links to shows and episodes referenced at: https://www.podcastenvy.com I'd love to hear your thoughts and questions!

While house sitting one day, Dylan made a discovery... A dusty bottle of Wild Turkey 101 from 2013. Not Necessarily a true "Dusty" but close enough to wonder if it was anything like the new Wild Turkey 101 that you can get today. Dusty = Old Bourbon.

If I say “Liam Neeson movie,” you picture, at this point, a pretty specific thing, right? It's kind of an action-thriller. Neeson is avenging some wrong. It's usually some wrong against his family. And it's usually avenged with Neeson's “particular set of skills.” Basically, the movie is some version of Taken, right? Well, Taken came out in 2008. Liam Neeson has been making these movies for 15 years now. He just turned 70, and he says he just made his 100th movie. (I've put a certain amount of effort into trying to figure out just what he's counting to get to exactly 100, and I can't quite do it, but I've decided we should just accept the guy's count. Right?) The Nose is off this week. In its place, a Not Necessarily the Nose-style look at late-career Liam Neeson, post-Taken Liam Neeson, doing-action-movies-into-his-70s Liam Neeson.

An Apology From the Missing Comma in Don't Worry Darling Sorry, But Avatar Still Rules The 100 Greatest TV Shows of All Time A ranking of the most game-changing, side-splitting, tear-jerking, mind-blowing, world-building, genre-busting programs in television history, from the medium's inception in the early 20th century through the ever-metastasizing era of Peak TV Maybe We Won't End Up Like the Dinosaurs NASA has taken a major step toward protecting Earth from dangerous asteroids.

The Federal Reserve could put a quick end to inflation on its own, economist Claudia Sahm says, but be careful what you wish for. Remember that thing we were talking about yesterday? Sahm, formerly of the Fed and the White House, now the founder of Sahm Consulting, says the central bank can only do so much to tame prices without throwing the economy into recession. For this week’s deep dive, she tells us some ways Congress can pitch in. Here’s everything we talked about on the show today: “Don’t make the Fed go it alone on inflation” from Stay-At-Home Macro “Will the Fed Cause a Recession? Not Necessarily, if Biden's White House Acts” from Barron's “The Agony of an Early Case of Monkeypox” from The New Yorker “W.H.O. Declares Monkeypox Spread a Global Health Emergency” from The New York Times “China Targeted Fed to Build Informant Network, Access Data, a Probe Says” from The Wall Street Journal Have any thoughts on the show?

Will Price Reductions Make Me Look Desperate?_Market_Tues_EP_13 Simple Answer is Not Necessarily, sometimes reducing the price of your home just means that the market has shifted while your house was listed. In July 2022 that's completely possible, especially when the possibility of another interest rate hike may be on the horizon.

On this special episode Mike talks with Stuart Pankin a bit about his illustrious career including his work on Not Necessarily the News, Fatal Attraction, and his latest film, Deep in the Forest.

TVC 578.3: Actor and voice artist Stuart Pankin talks to Ed about how Dinosaurs posed a challenge for the voice actors who worked on the show because they had to match their voices with the movements of the Jim Henson puppets first (instead of the other way around), and how Stu's experience on The San Pedro Beach Bums fomented an important professional relationship that eventually led to his roles on Not Necessarily the News, No Soap Radio, and Dinosaurs. Stu's latest film, the political thriller Deep in the Forest, becomes available for streaming on demand on Tuesday, May 31. Want to advertise/sponsor our show?

This week, we discuss "Jason X" aka Jason Goes to Space. It's Friday the 13th this week, so we are required by sequel law to review one and we picked a doozy. I admittedly never gave this one an honest chance when I rented it at 15 years old, but I had a lot of fun 20 years later. We discussed the reason this movie is set in the future, possible other plots for future installments, the terrible professor, nano spiders, the epic kills, and more. This is a video review you can watch at sequelsonly.com/JasonX The next two weeks are back-to-back interviews with two AMAZING actors who I grew up on, Stuart Pankin and Peter Jason. They are both in a new film that premieres VOD on 5/31 called "Deep in the Forest".

Stuart was a hoot and loved talking about how his journey to Hollywood began. Peter Jason is an actor who has worked with everyone from John Wayne to Spielberg to Donald Pleasance to James Garner and he loves talking about the old Hollywood. If it wasn't for a girl he had a crush on senior year, he would have never tried out for the school play and it was instant love.

Frayed. That's the word I think of when I think of how I left Growing Down. Growing Down was last published in 2020. A lot of water has flown under the bridge since that time. Here is an update of cohosts Jeremy and Ryan: Jeremy is engaged in other projects but is up for reunions now and then. Ryan has created a wonderful political podcast "Meta-Ideological Politics" with Nate Coffman that deserves a listen to. As for me, I was not ready to let Growing Down, or GD, go because I believe the panel of thinkers we interviewed are the foundation for future integral politics. I want to build upon their insights. There are two subjects for the episode. The first is closure. I am not certain of the future of Growing Down, but I do know that the idea that birthed GD is still very needed today. Before giving up on it, I wanted to explore the subject of political engagement. Growing Down was my political engagement-at least, how I measured it. Without this political outlet, I found myself disinterested in the current political narrative. There was a wonderful satirical sitcom in the 80's called "Not Necessarily the News". As a child, I watched it with joy to watch some of the world leaders make comedic faux pas' over and over. If anything, it made politics fun. To the skeptics that say politics can't be fun I say this: you are probably right. But -- Let's try. I asked Canadian metamodernist Brent Cooper (and past interviewee of GD) to cohost to help me unravel some anxiety I have about the future of politics and this podcast: How do politics fit into our lives? How can we transcend the left/right spectrum? Is direct democracy a good thing? How can we stay politically engaged when all we want to do is quit? And -- Should we quit? Not necessarily.

Episode Notes Lemuel: I am Lemuel Gonzalez, repentant sinner, and along with Amity Armstrong, your heavenly host, I invite you to find a place in the pew for today's painless Sunday School lesson. Without Works. Amity: This week we continue an exploration to investigate influential and problematic saint  Paul of Tarsus in The More You Know. First we are going to Texas to discuss why we don't live there - and it has nothing to do with our exes - in Not Necessarily the Good News. Not Necessarily the Good News And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. - Genesis 2.7 On September 1, 2021, 666 new laws went into effect in Texas. Just this number should be a warning to anyone with a modicum of popular culture and/or religious understanding. Included in these laws are such things as an open carry law for firearms requiring no training or license, the banning of the teaching of critical race theory, and several modes of voter suppression. I will come back to some of those in the future probably, but in addition, an abortion law was entered into the books and that's what I want to speak about today. Texas' new abortion law, which went into effect after the Supreme Court did not weigh in, could prevent the vast majority of abortions in the state. It prohibits abortions once cardiac activity is detected in an embryo. That can happen as early as about six weeks, before many people even know they are pregnant. Unlike other similar bills across the country, Texas' law doesn't set criminal penalties for violating the ban. Instead, the law allows private citizens to sue anyone who helps someone get an abortion. This timeline doesn't make any sense in terms of the reality of menstruating individuals. The timing would line up with an 8-12 day late period - which could happen for all manner of reasons outside of pregnancy, thus basically disallowing anyone from seeing an abortion at any time.  It's a bounty - Texas has put a bounty of $10,000 per individual - be it the pregnant party, their partner, the driver, hotel or motel employees, doctors, nursed, instacart workers - anyone who “helps someone get an abortion”  I read a bible passage at the beginning of this segment. Largely, the abortion debate in this county is fueled by so-called Christians who have pushed the idea that life begins at conception, which is starkly contrasted by Genesis, which refers to the breath of life, presumably indicating that the first breath is the indication of life. This follows most scientific thought which balks at late term abortion of fetuses that would be viable outside of the womb - and the reason that late term abortions are extrordinarily rare and are usually in cases of inviability or grave danger the the carrier. In this country, a living woman carrying a fertilized egg has less bodily autonomy than a corpse.  https://www.npr.org/2021/09/01/1032894148/in-texas-666-laws-take-effect-sept-1-including-many-conservative-priorities https://jezebel.com/the-texas-abortion-provider-who-defied-s-b-8-has-been-1847711763?utm_campaign=Jezebel&utm_content=1632177335&utm_medium=SocialMarketing&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwAR1xN2osrdpMRtaTJQXFgVb3vUge95ZOkTuf6C884DE5wm5-l0fTzYYlikI https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/20/us/texas-abortion-lawsuit-alan-braid.html?smid=fb-nytimes&smtyp=cur&fbclid=IwAR1haJw-T7NRmOlbEBoPj4whPC9udS5lyEr6-Tyls3xIhFAHHQQ8OuNEY6k The More You Know I remember having a lunch with a friend, a practicing Jew, who discussed Jesus with me. He talked about reclaiming Jesus as a jewish man, from a jewish rabbinical tradition.  He said that Christianity was really the fault of Saint Paul, who he considered a lunatic.  A few years later I was discussing this idea with another jewish friend, who agreed that Jesus taught within the traditions of Judaism, but Saint Paul twisted and changed things to make a new, anti-semetic  religion. It's a very common criticism. As we have seen Paul was a man eager to assert his Jewishness, and constantly remind his readers of his religious education and credentials. He would never want to be seen as the man who separated Christianity from Judaism, but with some of his statements, he severed the connections. https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/arts-letters/articles/who-was-paul https://www.huffpost.com/entry/apostle-paul-lived-and-died-as-a-dedicated-jew_b_3376350 Find us on Twitter: @WithoutWorksPod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/withoutworks Email @ withoutworkspod@gmail.com Our Internet home: www.withoutworkspodcast.com Find out more at https://without-works.pinecast.co This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Episode Notes I am Lemuel Gonzalez, repentant sinner, and along with Amity Armstrong, your heavenly host, I invite you to find a place in the pew for today's painless Sunday School lesson. Without Works. This week we will talk about hypocrisy in the Church- and continue with our conversation about the most problematic declarations of a problematic saint in The More You Know. First, we are going to discuss current hypocrisy, ethics in journalism, and leaps of logic in Not Necessarily the Good News Not Necessarily the Good News Path of thought: Headline: “Catholic leader whose organization voted to deny Biden communion caught using gay dating app” Monsignor Jeffrey Burrill, the general secretary of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops had lead the charge to deny President Biden communion for his abortion stance and I started interested in the hypocrisy angle so common in GOP politicians and clergy. However, when I went to research the story, I was faced with a couple of articles from the WSJ, one of which referred to “conservative Catholic publication, The Pillar.” Read that article and two things stood out - the repeated phrase “According to commercially available records of app signal data obtained by The Pillar” and a lengthy section of the article written, supposedly in relation to Burrill's position in cracking down on child abuse in the church but clearly just written to conflate homosexuality with pedophilia. https://www.upworthy.com/catholic-monsignor-who-pushed-to-deny-joe-biden-communion-caught-using-a-gay-dating-app https://www.pillarcatholic.com/p/pillar-investigates-usccb-gen-sec https://www.washingtonpost.com/religion/2021/07/20/bishop-misconduct-resign-burrill/ The More You Know What informed Paul's negative opinions of homosexuality as a legitimate way to express love? We know that he was a conservative who wanted to anchor the new faith in Old Testament tradition. There are several verses in the Old Testament about the, “sin,” of homosexuality. For instance: If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. Leviticus 20:13 Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind: it is abomination. Leviticus 18:22 Add to this nearly identical stories in both Genesis 19: 1-11 and Judges 19: 16-24 involving roving gangs of homosexual rapists who prey on men travelling from city to city. In both cases the travelling men are sheltered by, “righteous,” elders who offer their virgin daughters to the lustful mob in an attempt to placate their needs. In one case the mob is stopped by angels. In the other the rapists accept the travelling man's offered concubine and rape her to death. The endless cycle of kings that follow the book of Judges take turns indulging and preventing idol worship, and encouraging or punishing the male and female prostitutes that were a part of those rites. This explains why Paul, in the book of Romans, concludes that idol worship is the cause of homosexuality, and describes this as part of his construct on the origin of sin: Why did Paul add these condemnations when Jesus and the rest of the disciples did not? Paul seems to have felt that it was his job to place the new Christianity in the context of the old religion. Try to make it acceptable to people coming from Judaisim. The irony is that Paul's evangelism eventually spread outside of Jewish communities and into gentile groups. Episcopal Bishop John Shelby Sprong has written on the idea that Paul himself was a homosexual man, and that his struggle with his own urges were the basis for his writings excluding them from salvation in the new religion. Bishop Sprong's writings were inspired by theologians like Arthur Darby Nock, who visited the idea of Saint Paul as a struggling gay man. There is no actual evidence to support the idea that Saint Paul was gay. It is a concept that we must acknowledge in discussing him, but there is not biblical or extra biblical historical source that supports the theory. Others scholars have felt keenly the contradiction we brought up last week; that the same man who wrote such powerful passages about the love of God could not be the same man who wrote hurtful passages condemning sexual choices that are out of people's control. The idea here is that these passages were added later by translators and some early churchmen. That could be the case, but there is no proving it, at least not with the documents we have on hand. Finding a very old manuscript without the anti-homosexual additions would be the only way to prove it. In the end we can accept what we have: a stridently anti-gay Paul, who for his own reasons, has excluded same sex love from acceptable expression, even insisting that God has set up this rejection. Of course, as we learned last time, this is the same man who insisted that some people were, “vessels of wrath,” created by God to demonstrate his redemptive, or punishing power. If we accept all scripture is infallible, then we have to accept this as part of our faith. The prejudice is not only justified, but endorsed by God. If we say that the scripture is only right when divinely inspired, how do we make the distinction between inspired and uninspired? Maybe there is another way to look at it. Maybe, as Christians, we use the words of Jesus as a meter, and measure all of the stories as consistent with the spirit of Christ's teaching. If we look at the scriptures through a Christ powered lens, we can see where an apostle's personal opinions or struggles made it into the work.

Episode Notes This week we continue an exploration to investigate influential and problematic St. Paul of Tarsus in The More You Know.  But first we're going to visit the Supreme Court in a brief detour of Not Necessarily the Good News.  Not Necessarily the Good News In its final week of session, SCOTUS ruled in favor of a Philidelphia Catholic charity that wouldn't allow same-sex foster parents. In the grand tradition of solving a problem that doesn't exist, in 2018 CSS declared that would not consider same-sex couples as potential parents for foster children. When it found out, the city of Philadelphia insisted that all its contractors agree not to discriminate. So the charity sued. It said endorsing same-sex couples as foster parents would violate its religious teachings about marriage. In response, Philadelphia said the charity was free to express and practice its religious views but not to dictate the terms of municipal contracts. The city also said the charity was not being punished for its religious views, noting that it still has city contracts, worth millions of dollars a year, to perform other services for children in foster care. SCOTUS did rule in favor of the charity, but kept its ruling narrow. The court rejected the urging of Catholic Social Services, one of 30 agencies that contract with Philadelphia to find homes for abused and neglected children, for a broad ruling that would allow religious objections to overcome anti-discrimination laws. ... The More You Know The book of Romans is a primer in Christian theology as Saint Paul constructed it. It is one of the most referenced books in the New Testament, and venerated by many Christians It was started as a letter written to the Church of Rome somewhere in  47 - 57 AD, partly to raise funds for a missionary expedition to Spain. In it Paul lays the foundation of a new theology of Christ in the context of Jewish teachings, particularly the Pharisaic tradition he was educated in.  In Romans Paul meant to show that Jesus was the culmination of jewish teaching and ideas. Jesus was the completion of all God's promises to the Jewish people. Judaism alone, without Jesus Christ, is an incomplete faith. For that reason alone Romans is a deeply problematic book.  In the book Paul sets up questions that one might raise from the traditional scriptures, then answers them as the authority on Christian teaching. It goes on this way, raising a question, generating a response, then responding to the question raised by the response.  Sometimes, it has to be said,  he paints himself into a corner.  ...

For the July 4th weekend, Eric Patterson and Mark Melton discuss what C.S. Lewis teaches Christians about patriotism and “love of home,” particularly in The Four Loves. They review how Lewis served his country in both the First World War and the Second World War, which demonstrates that he writes from experience when he writes about patriotism and sacrifice. And while Lewis argues that the “love of home” is the best type of patriotism, he warns against someone loving his or her country because of its history, as this can lead to a puffed-up vision that is easily debunked unless the study of history is done carefully and seriously. So Patterson and Melton discuss how Christians should understand history by recognizing mankind's sinfulness and God's common grace. Melton also argues that, if Christians' love of home or country is rooted in neighborly love, they should love their neighbors both near and far. This requires understanding local issues and participating in local politics. Patterson adds that this focus on the local community can include volunteering in various organizations.

Episode Notes Lemuel: I am Lemuel Gonzalez, repentant sinner, and along with Amity Armstrong, your heavenly host, I invite you to find a place in the pew for today's painless Sunday School lesson. Without Works. Amity: This week we will begin an exploration of an equally influential and problematic saint in The More You Know. But first a moment of prayer in Not Necessarily the Good News. Not Necessarily the Good News On March 24, 2021, Representative James Talrico led the Texas House of Representatives in an Invocation at the start of the session. I will read it now in its entirety. “Holy Mystery: you have so many names. The Torah calls you Creator, the Quran calls you Peace, the Gita calls you Destroyer, the Dharma calls you Truth, and the First Epistle of John calls you perhaps the most beautiful name of all: Love. You are the strange love uniting all things. The love that drew elements together after that Big Bang; the love that drew life itself from those primordial oceans; the love that drew us all to this exact moment. The love we were born of, the love we exist in, and the love we will one day return to. In my faith, you expressed yourself through a barefoot rabbi who embodied your perfect love. A crucified carpenter who gave only two commandments: love God and love neighbor. Because there is no love of God without love of neighbor. Help us love not just in word, but in action. Help us honor not just the name of Jesus, but the way of Jesus. Help us... free the oppressed, feed the hungry, house the homeless, heal the sick, release the prisoner, welcome the stranger, forgive the enemy, and above all: protect your Creation. The Word of God is Love. Let us not be hearers of your Word, but doers of your Word—in our families, in our communities, and in this chamber. Not just with prayers, but with policies. Not just personal love, but political love. Holy Mystery: open our minds, open our hearts, open our hands so that we may build a new world in the shell of the old. A world that is more just, more free, more whole, and more in love with you. In all your many names, we pray. Amen.” Now this was read in an active session of a state legislature in a country whose Constitution explicitly spells out a division between church and state, so I can understand people being upset about the recitation of any prayer in that context. However, the outcry that actually occurred was much different. Rep. Jonathan Strickland tweeted: “I am disgusted such blasphemy was spoken in the chamber. Lord forgive us for turning our state over to this trash. Where are the bold followers of Jesus Christ?” - Now this is also a man who called vaccines sorcery, so we don't need to go down his particular rabbit hole. But he wasn't alone in his ire, and there were other supporters that agreed that this, possibly the least offensive, most inclusive prayer that I have ever heard. - Thoughts? Next up, let's meet the man of the hour, or next few hours, in The More You Know. The More You Know So, church attendance is down. People are no longer declaring church or even religious affiliations. Why are people turning from faith and faith communities? Among the vailid reasons is a concern about the rigidity of religious dogma, and how it discourages and marginalizes some communities. Religions like Buddhism and Christianity started as a rejection of contemporary conservative religious values. In Jesus' time minor functions of daily life were strictly monitored by religious authority. Sin was everywhere. Not just sins that we think as deadly sins, but little things. Any kind of work on the Sabbath day could transgress the law. That could include spitting, or a woman carrying a brooch that weighed over a prescribed amount. Forgiveness of sins was granted by a priest and the proper sacrifice had to be offered to secure God's forgiveness. Sins were erased by rituals, the elements of which were purchased at the temple, using special temple money. There was an exchange rate for that too. The more money you had, the more secure you were in God's favor. If you could not afford these sacrifices, you were living in sin, a social outcast. Jesus pushed back, sometimes physically, against this restrictive version of faith, a belief system meant to exclude people, particularly the economically deprived and marginalized. Jesus bypassed all the trauma and public humiliation for transgressors and just went along forgiving people their sins. “Your sins are forgiven,” he would say, and they felt accepted by God. It cost them nothing except a will to change and sincere belief. Jesus' kind of Christianity is not what people are rejecting. Where Jesus taught a faith of freedom and liberation, most modern people associate Christianity with conservatism and spiritual exclusion. Those are the same things that Jesus argued against! Why does Christianity mean misogyny and bigotry to unchurched people? Well, much of it can be put down to the writings of one influential man. His writings took Christianity in a decidedly conservative direction. For example: "Women should remain silent in the churches, They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church." Here is another example of his spiritual wisdom. He explains the orgins of homosexuality: “... God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.” Lets stop there; there are only three specific times where homosexuality is mentioned in the New Testament. All three specific mentions are negative, and all of them have a single author: Paul the Apostle, formerly Saul of Tarsus. His story is complicated and his personality is contradictory. He started as a man out to persecute the early Christians, and then became a staunch and combative Christian convert. He was a proud Jew, and a strong believer in the primacy of the Jewish people and their primacy in the new faith, yet he rejected this, eventually calling his valued religious education, “fertilizer.” For two thousand years Christians have had to reckon with Saint Paul's contribution to the New Testament. He is remembered as a father of the church and its doctrine, but he never met Jesus, and encountered him only in a mystical vision. A friend once described it this way; “Jesus was a rock star. Paul was an accountant.” Where Jesus tore up the rules and shouted down authority, Paul endorsed new restrictive rules, rules that he sometimes claimed were divinely inspired and equally his own ideas. Historical Paul (This episode) His name was Saul, originally. He may have been named after King Saul, the first King of Israel. Like King Saul he was a member of the tribe of Benjamin. He was a roman citizen, and had a latinized name: Paul. He used the name Paul when addressing a gentile audience. He grew up in Tarsus, an ancient city in what is now Turkey, It was considered an academic center, and Paul was a product of its educational system. He was a proud and pious jew who came from a family who leaned into the Pharisee interpretation of the Hebrew scriptures. He was sent from Tarsus to Jerusalem to receive his formal religious education from Gamaliel, a teacher of enormous reputation. While living in Jerusalem, he found that members of Christian church, all loyal jews, were worshipping at synagogue, and making new converts. He resented them. It might have been that as a foreign born jew, he was anxious to show his devotion to his ancestral faith. He did have a fanatical drive to preserve his faith in a way that would have pleased his teachers. Whatever the reason he personally participated in the execution of a young Apostle, Stephen. After that he became an active member of the hunt to expose Christians. He inveigled his way into the priestly community and even got a license from the high priest at Jerusalem to arrest and imprison Christians in neighboring communities, bringing them to Jerusalem for judgment and possible execution. On one of these hunting trips, a trip to Damascus, he has a vision of Christ. As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?" "Who are you, Lord?" Saul asked. "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting," he replied. "Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do." The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless; they heard the sound but did not see anyone. Paul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus. For three days he was blind, and did not eat or drink anything. — Acts 9:3–9, NIV He is struck blind, and remains that way until he reaches Damascus and is helped along by a man named Ananias who was warned to find Paul in a dream. He effects a miraculous cure for Paul, and he becomes an ardent evangelist for the religion he was persecuting. He became a missionary, preaching to far flung corners. He made three excursions, reaching the christian communities, teaching, creating new ideas about how to run the church, and gathering monies to fund new missionary expeditions. Twenty years after persecuting the new faith, he becomes the victim of a mob of angry jews who accuse him of defiling the synagogue by inviting gentiles. This cases a riot, broken up by roman soldiers. They arrest him. There is a trial, to which the mob is present. It is very like the circumstances that led to Jesus' execution, but Paul has a trick to pull: To appeal, as any roman citizen has the right, to roman laws rather than jewish ones. This was ultimately unsuccessful in preventing his death sentence, but he prevented it long enough to continue his long disciplinary letters to the churches he helped found. Over the next five episodes we will talk about Saint Paul's controversial ministry, and the long shadow he cast over Christianity. The Topics will include: Vessels of Wrath: Paul's strange explanation of Evil. Women in the Church Doctrines on Gay inclusion in the Church Paul's troubled relationship with Judaism An overview of all that we have learned. In the next few episodes we will take a look at the peripheral saint whose writings became the foundation of Christian conservatism.

Episode Notes Today we will have an open discussion about bad Supreme Court decisions and COVID in, “Not Necessarily the Good News.” Then, we learn about the prodigal son in, “The More You Know. NOT NECESSARILY THE GOOD NEWS: When we spoke last about the Supreme Court, it was in reference to the latest addition - at that time only a nominee - now a full fledged justice who is already on the wrong side of history and humanity with a couple of the court’s latest rulings. A phrase that is likely to make my heart sink numerous times over the coming years is “in a 5 to 4 decision” and it is with that phrase that we enter the deeply wrong rulings coming out from the court in favor of churches that have protested strict COVID measures. The arguments, first in a case from New York state brought by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn and Agudath Israel of America and then in a case from California brought by Pasadena-based Harvest Rock Church and Harvest International Ministry, which has churches across the state, were that the restrictions on gathering for worship were harsher than those on gathering to distribute food or provide shelter, two things that were often happening in the same buildings as where they seek to worship. https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/26/politics/supreme-court-religious-restrictions-ruling-covid/index.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/courts_law/supreme-court-california-coronavirus-church/2020/12/03/fcf4fcf8-357d-11eb-a997-1f4c53d2a747_story.html THE MORE YOU KNOW: Jesus was a story-teller. He taught very complicated ideas through simple, memorable parables. Sometimes, as we learned with, “The Good Samaritan,” the intention of his story gets lost in the re-telling, and, after so many years, acquires unintended new meanings. Most people think of the story of the Prodigal Son as the story of a lost son finding his way home. That’s just one part of the parable, and it has plot twists. The story is the last of three stories on a similar subject included in the fifteenth chapter of the Gospel of Luke. The parable of the lost lamb, of the lost coin, and the prodigal son, were used to address criticism from the Pharisees. The Pharisees, if you remember, were an influential religious party that mostly agreed with Jesus on matters of theology ( they believed in an afterlife, for instance ) but did not like his liberal interpretations of scriptures, or his disregard for their devotion to cultural tradition. We are told that Jesus had gathered an undesirable element in his public following. Since he would often bring crowds from the street into the temple, there may also have been the concern that these undesirables might come into the temple.

Merrill Markoe's storied career in comedy has included co-creating and serving as head writer for Late Night with David Letterman (earning her three of her four Emmys and giving the world "Stupid Pet Tricks" in the bargain), TV writing stints for Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart, Moonlighting, and Sex and the City, a Writers Guild Award for writing and performing on HBO's Not Necessarily the News, and even an acting gig on Friends. The versatile Markoe, who recently received the prestigious the Paddy Chayefsky Laurel Award for Television Writing Achievement, has also published much-loved collections of her comic essays and three hilarious novels-and her cartoons have been featured in The New Yorker. All of this Renaissance woman's considerable talents converge in her first ever graphic memoir, WE SAW SCENERY: The Early Diaries of Merrill Markoe (Publication Date: October 13, 2020; $24.95), which, with hindsight and wit, transforms the comedian's real-life adolescent journals into a laugh-out-loud work of art. "There are occupational hazards to being a writer," the grownup Markoe reflects. "In addition to the emotional mess that can come from writing about the people you love, there is the physical mess that accumulates from seeing everything as a potential topic. Usually I save things that strike me as funny, thinking maybe I'll write about them some day. At least that is the excuse I give myself for the weird stuff in the boxes of things I didn't get rid of because they make me laugh..It wasn't until the day that I decided to try and clean house that I found the little stack of childhood diaries I'd received as Christmas and birthday presents. They were lying way at the bottom of one of the biggest boxes. Each one came with a lock and key, because in the early sixties it was very important for preteen girls in suburban housing tracts to keep their dangerous secrets safe from prying enemy eyes." Those little tin keys unlocked a trove of now funny memories of events that, admittedly, didn't always seem funny to young Merrill at the time. Rereading the diaries, Markoe says, she often felt like she was reading about a stranger. But it also spurred a narrative of a childhood during what is often perceived as a simpler time, but was nonetheless fraught with family dysfunction, the angst of puberty and, ultimately, the first steps toward honing her singularly off-kilter talent. Markoe finds the hilarity in being a girl scout or running for 8th grade treasurer or first "love," even as she awkwardly navigates a daily reality controlled by a chronically angry suburban mother and shaped by the rapid social changes of the 1960s. With deadpan retrospection, she recounts honing her unique vision of the world through humor, even when her family made it feel as if she were doing something wrong. "Merrill Markoe got all the talent," says Nell Scovell, author of Just the Funny Parts. "WE SAW SCENERY is revealing, sad, funny, and above all, relatable. Markoe captures the experience of a young woman finding-and holding on to-her own voice. And we're all lucky she did." Mimi Pond, author of The Customer is Always Wrong, adds, "Merrill Markoe's visual and written analysis of her childhood diaries are acute, devastating, and hilarious." This is a witty, poignant, and perceptive story of a girl growing up told by the woman she became

Episode Notes Today we will have an open discussion about Supreme Court Nominee Amy Coney Barrett in, “Not Necessarily the Good News.” And we will explore saviorhood, and how it does not apply to Donald Trump in, “The More You Know. NOT NECESSARILY THE GOOD NEWS: Judge Amy Coney Barrett is from the South and Midwest. Her career has been largely spent teaching while raising seven children, including two adopted from Haiti and one with Down syndrome, and living according to her faith. She has made no secret of her beliefs on divisive social issues such as abortion. A deeply religious woman, her roots are in a populist movement of charismatic Catholicism. From her formative years in Louisiana to her current life in Indiana, Judge Barrett has been shaped by an especially insular religious community, the People of Praise, which has about 1,650 adult members, including her parents, and draws on the ecstatic traditions of charismatic Christianity, like speaking in tongues. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/11/us/politics/amy-coney-barrett-life-career-family.html THE MORE YOU KNOW: In a recent radio interview, Donald Trump Jr made this foolish statement about his father: “He literally saved Christianity, there's a war on faith in this country by the other side. I mean, the Democratic Party, the far left, has become the party of the quote-unquote atheist, they want to attack Christianity, they want to close churches, they want to - they're totally fine keeping liquor stores open, but they want to close churches all over the country.” Does he speak for Christianity? No. *NOTE: we say Donald Trump Jr. But these quotes should have been attributed to Eric Trump. https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/520090-eric-trump-claims-his-father-literally-saved-christianity https://www.businessinsider.com/eric-trump-says-donald-trump-saved-christianity-2020-10 Find us on Twitter: @WithoutWorksPod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/withoutworks Email @ withoutworkspod@gmail.com Transcripts available at our internet home: www.withoutworkspodcast.com Find out more at https://without-works.pinecast.co This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

This is Part V of our COVID-19 Q&A series. We're gonna be talking about health insurance applications over the coronavirus, including layoffs and furloughs. We're going to talk about specific coverages that are being offered new enrollment periods, all kinds of fun stuff. As we dive in or before we do, do me a favor, please subscribe. It makes such a difference to our ability to continue to produce long-form free content like this. You can find us on iTunes, Google podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, any pod catcher of your choice. Also if you subscribe at peopleprocesses.com we have subscriber only content, including sample communications that you can use to send out to your employees, edit them, run by your attorney if you'd like. And everything from communicating furloughs to how these benefits change or work. We want to help you communicate those, peopleprocesses.com to subscribe.  Now let's dive right in. The first question and I apologize if I sound a little funny, I've got a really bad allergies here at the beginning of April, late March. It is not Coronavirus, but just quite allergic, I apologize. First question we're getting which is a lot is,  If our employees are no longer working, are they still entitled to group health plan cover?  So what happens when I terminate someone or lay them off? The answer depends. The answer is, Not Necessarily. Are they entitled to group health plan coverage? You need to check your health plan document (or certificate of coverage if your plan is fully insured) to determine how long employees who are not actively working may remain covered by your group health plan. Most of the time, it's through the end of the month in which they are terminated or become ineligible due to an hour reduction. Once this period expires, active employee coverage must be terminated (unless the insurance carrier or self-funded plan sponsor agrees to temporarily waive this eligibility provision), and you must send your Cobra notice. If your plan is self-funded and you'd like to waive the coverage because you can, that's cool, but make sure that your stop-loss coverage carriers agree to cover claims related to participants who would otherwise be ineligible for coverage. That's a big deal.  As of late March, many fully insured plans are WAIVING minimum hour requirements and generating a new special enrollment period. So if you're cutting someone who's full time down to 20 hours a week, normally, that would be a life event in their coverage on whatever day your plan document says. Normally, at the end of the month you do that. However, most of the fully insured companies, the large ones out there, HUMANA, Aetna, Cigna, United have decided, "Hey, you 're going to waive that minimum coverage requirement if you choose to do so. If you choose to do so you have to do it for everybody. Keep that in mind." And that would allow you to continue insurance for employees who've had major hour reductions.  Well, that leads to the next question. What happens to the group health plan coverage if employees are not working enough and unable to pay their share of premium? In the normal everyday stuff, if they can't pay the premium, then group health plan coverage would cease when that employee's share premium is not timely paid. However, several actions might be taken that could allow coverage to continue.  First, the insurance carrier providing the health coverage may voluntarily continue the coverage while this disaster is sorted out. Like I said, most of them have and until an employee reopens their doors. More likely, the employer will make an arrangement with the insurance carrier to provide health coverage to pay the employees' share premiums to keep coverage in place (at least temporarily) and that's actually what's going on. The insurance carriers are fine with the employer picking up a whole cost until the employer can reopen its doors or the employees...

Not Necessarily the Good NewsOn December 18. 2019 the House of Representatives approved articles of impeachment on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. During the hearings, Congressman Barry Loudermilk, representative of Georgia’s 11th district, made the following claim: “When Jesus was falsely accused of treason, Pontius Pilate gave Jesus the opportunity to face his accusers,” said Loudermilk, who represents Georgia’s 11th congressional district. “During that sham trial, Pontius Pilate afforded more rights to Jesus than the Democrats have afforded this President in this process.”On today’s episode, we will discuss why and how this is a false and asinine comparison.

Episode Notes Great Moments In Christian American HistoryA beka books was started as part of a curriculum of Christian education developed by Arlin Horton, who went on to found Pensacola Christian College, an independent liberal arts college in Pensacola Florida. It was founded in 1972 and named after Horton’s wife, Rebecca, who helped him found PCC two years later. The history books while informative, followed a construct devaluing Native Americans, reducing them to place holders, waiting for the fulfillment of what they considered God’s plan: the arrival of European civilization. This is the beginning of a plethora of issues with Christian Text Books.Not Necessarily the Good NewsOn May 3, 2018, 45 signed an executive order titled Executive Order on the Establishment of a White House Faith and Opportunity Initiative.

Healing & Salvation - Dr David Petts   In recent talks we saw several occasions where Jesus said Your faith has healed you. The Greek word used here is sozo which can also mean save. Does this mean that that healing is in some sense a part of salvation? The answer to this question is NOT NECESSARILY.   Is healing a part of salvation? The fact that sozo (which in the NT is usually translated 'save') is sometimes used to mean 'heal'[1] has been used by some to argue that healing is included in salvation.     John Nelson Parr (Divine Healing p26), for example, comments:   "If Peter included healing in 'being saved' (Acts 4:9) (…also note the same word in verse 12 twice), are we not justified in teaching that physical healing is included in the salvation purchased for us by the Prince of Life.?".   This conclusion is invalid, however, because it involves an elementary error in semantics. The fact that the same word is used twice in a passage does not necessarily imply that it is being used with the same meaning on both occasions.   Nevertheless it will be helpful briefly to consider the meaning and use of sozo.   The meaning of sozo The Greek verb is related to the adjective saos (safe) and means 'to make safe' and hence 'to deliver from a direct threat' and  'to bring safe and sound out of a difficult situation'.     Foerster lists four major areas of meaning for sozo: saving, keeping, benefiting, and preserving the inner being   Saving includes being snatched from peril especially in the context of war or of a sea-voyage 'deliverance' from judicial condemnation being 'saved' from an illness.   Keeping includes a king keeping a subject alive by granting pardon men being kept from perishing the spark of a fire being kept from going out lost money being ‘got back’, and of wine or goods being ‘kept’.   But sozo and soteria can have a purely positive content.   Benefiting Prayer is offered to Zeus for the soteria of the nation, for peace, wealth, the growth of crops and cattle With regard to healing sozomai can mean not only to be cured but to be in good health the oath ten men soterian which means ‘by my health’.   preserving the inner being of men or things   Plato thought that it was the task of the ruler to sozein the state by maintaining it as a constitutionally ordered state sozo and soteria often refer to the inner ‘health’ of man”.   So, long before the New Testament documents came to be written, sozo was being used in a wide variety of ways.    It is noteworthy, however, that in all the examples mentioned above the root meaning of being made or kept safe is clearly discernible.   This is also true of the use of sozo in the New Testament Each meaning carries with it the underlying suggestion of being made or kept safe.   The use of sozo in the New Testament New Testament writers use sozo and its cognates to mean being made or kept safe whenever such terminology is appropriate.   Three main ways:   Acute danger to physical life Deliverance from disease Salvation   Acute danger to physical life In the stilling of the storm the disciples plead with Jesus to ‘save’ them (Matthew 8:25) Peter walking on the water (Matthew 14:30) In the accounts of the mocking of Jesus on the cross (Matthew 27:40-42, Mark15:30-31, Luke 23:39) he is challenged to ‘save’ himself. Paul's shipwreck in Acts 27:20, 31, 34 Hebrews 11:7 refers to Noah preparing the ark to save his household   Those who see healing as a part of salvation on the grounds that sozo is used to  mean 'heal' must, to be consistent, include deliverance from physical danger on the same grounds!   Such a position is of course clearly untenable in the light of NT teaching with regards to Christians who suffer persecution (e.g. 1 Peter, passim, Romans 8:35-39, 2 Corinthians 11:23-33).     Deliverance from disease sozo is used to mean ‘heal’in:   the healing of the woman with the issue of blood (Matthew 9:21-22, Mark 5:28, 34, Luke 8:48) the raising of Jairus' daughter (Mark 5:23, Luke 8:50) the healing of blind Bartimaeus (Mark 10:52, Luke 18:42) Luke's account of the deliverance of Legion from demon-possession (Luke 8:36) the healing of ten lepers (Luke17:19) Cripple at Beautiful Gate Acts 4:9 Cripple at Lystra Acts 14:9 James 5:15   So it’s clear that sozo is used in the New Testament to mean to deliver from both danger and disease.   But sozo and soteria in the New Testament mean far more than this.   Salvation The danger from which man needs to be saved is more than physical and by far the major emphasis of soteria in the New Testament is that of deliverance from sin.     But does deliverance from sin automatically imply deliverance from sickness and danger?   It seems to me that although the use of sozo links deliverance from sickness with deliverance from sin linguistically this need not in itself imply a theological connection.      The New Testament writers did not develop a systematic theology of soteria subdivided into categories of physical and spiritual deliverance. They used sozo wherever it might appropriately be used to mean ‘make safe’ or ‘deliver’.   So to argue from the use of sozo for anything more than a linguistic connection between those uses may possibly indicate a misunderstanding of the nature of language.   Nevertheless it seems likely that writers sometimes took advantage of cases of physical deliverance   e.g. the healing of blind Bartimaeus to illustrate the principles of spiritual deliverance - how those who are spiritually ‘blind’ might, through faith in Jesus ‘see’   But to say this is not to confuse the illustration itself with the truth it illustrates.   Healing may illustrate salvation without being part of it.     Thus Parr's claim, based on the use of sozo in Acts 4:9-12, that ‘physical healing is included in the salvation purchased for us’  is shown to be invalid.     [1] Matthew 9:21-22, Mark 5:23, 28, 34, 10:52, Luke 8:36, 48, 50, 2.17:19, 18:42, John 11:12, Acts 4:9, 14:9, James 5:15.

An Interview with NJ Hall of Fame Coach Jack Smithlin on How Varsity Sports and Youth Sports are Dramatically Changing - and Not Necessarily for the Better.

There’s a new phrase bouncing around energy circles: Electrify Everything.This week, we talk to Nate Adams, a home performance expert whose personal mission is to rip gas meters out of homes and move us closer toward full electrification. As he’s learned from experience, it’s not easy.The electrification of homes may be getting easier in California, however.In the second half of the show, we’re going to tackle California’s new building codes. Starting in 2020, most new homes will have to come with solar panels on the roof. And there are new incentives for electric space heating and water heating – a very big step toward electrification of everything.The codes have created a very strong reaction, both positive and negative – and we’ll look at both sides.The Energy Gang is brought to you by Sense.

Hi Everybody this is Grant, it's early July 2017. I will be doing a WebClass on July 8, 2017 @ 12pm Pacific Time - discussing how to get started on the investing & trading journey. You can register at www.financialinvestingsecrets.com.   The E-mini futures and also the SPY have been chopping around the last couple weeks after making highs. The Nasdaq futures have retraced and touched the 89 EMA. And Oil futures (CL) did a large bounce up starting about 6 days ago. Meanwhile Apple (AAPL) dropped about 2 weeks ago and is also sitting on its 89 EMA. So, which way is the market going? I am interested in your thoughts...email me at: grant@financialinvestingsecrets.com. Recently I had the opportunity to interview one of my mentors, check out episode 21. This caused me to think through the process of selecting a mentor. There are several things to consider when selecting a mentor, including: 1. Plan your roadmap to financial control (I will cover this in an upcoming podcast) 2. As part of your roadmap set goals 3. Identify the investment strategies that align with your goals 4. Look for mentors that align with the investment strategies 1. Plan your roadmap to financial control (I will cover this in the next podcast) Next podcast 2. As part of your roadmap set goals Financial goals align better with some investment strategies than others. For example, consistent cash flow to help achieve goals such as debt reduction. 3. Identify the investment strategies that align with your goals Generally this includes learning about various investment strategies first. After that you need to practice with those strategies in a safe manner to learn which strategies fit your personality and you use well. This is a key part of selecting a mentor, you will need to be clear on what investing styles work well for you and your personality. 4. Look for mentors that align with the investment strategies This process is iterative. I have had several mentors throughout my time trading. Each mentor added a critical piece to the overall picture for me. The mentor I had on my podcast yesterday understands the overall markets very well, he excels as cash flow strategies for options, and the need for each investor or trader to determine what system they will use or create. He looks at each step you take as part of your overall journey. For example, for my personality I discovered that I needed a two-pronged approach to my investing. The first was I needed to establish cash flow; this was critical to monthly cash income, which aids monthly bills. I also knew that on top of that I needed to have a portion of my portfolio that was focused on growth and higher returns. What I discovered was the need to find high-probability GROWTH opportunities. That required more study on my part. I found a mentor who excelled in that area; and hopefully one day I can get him on my podcast as well. It is super critical to understand yourself, your goals, and where you are on the journey to help you pick the proper mentor. Without some kind of roadmap, then your investing and trading journey will be like Alice In Wonderland, who when she was at a fork in the road did not know way to go; and without a plan, then ANY ROAD may be OK --- but NOT NECESSARILY the best thing for your goals. So take the time to be intentional and start working on your roadmap. Stay tuned for the next podcast, where I will introduce a roadmap for you to build on. Until next time, Trade Safe!

ANNABELLE GURWITCH The actress and bestselling author shares a hilarious new collection of essays about family in Wherever You Go, There They Are When Annabelle Gurwitch (best recognized as the co-host of TBS’s Dinner & a Movie, among many other roles) was a child, surrounded by a cast of epically dysfunctional relatives, she secretly prayed that it was all a terrible mistake. A family of bootleggers, gamblers, and philanderers, the Gurwitches have always been a bit vague on the standard ideal of a loving and supportive family. Their definition includes people you can count on to borrow money from, hold a grudge against, or blackmail. One day, unfortunately, Gurwitch woke up to realize that she'd made pretty much the same mistakes as everyone else before her--just in a new zip code. Wherever she went, there they were. Annabelle Gurwitch discusses (in her hilarious way): · her southern Jewish roots · her flirtation with surrogate families, including theater folk, pet people, a UFO cult, the sisterhood, and the ladies who brunch at Tel Aviv Gardens Retirement Home in Miami, FL · that, for better or worse, it's worth celebrating the traditions, rituals, and recipes that come with a shared mythology and legacy (even if her own inheritance amounts to a small plot of land split between five relatives on an ill-fated sliver of sand known as Massacre Island.) · the spectacularly daunting search for the community where her aging parents will spend the last chapter of their lives. Both hysterically funny and moving, Gurwitch shares the importance and insanity of family for anyone who's even occasionally been frustrated by the people they share carbohydrate-laden meals with every year. About the Author Annabelle Gurwitch is an actress and the author I See You Made an Effort (a New York Times bestseller and Thurber Prize finalist); You Say Tomato, I Say Shut Up (coauthored with Jeff Kahn), and Fired! also a Showtime Comedy Special. Gurwitch gained a loyal following during her stint cohosting Dinner & a Movie on TBS and years as a regular commentator on NPR. She’s written for the New Yorker, the New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and The Hollywood Reporter. Gurwitch was the new anchor on HBO's Not Necessarily the News and hosted WA$TED on Planet Green network. Her acting credits include: Seinfeld, Boston Legal, Dexter, Melvin Goes to Dinner. A veteran of many lauded and even more misguided theatrical productions, she regularly performs at arts centers around the country. Annabelle is a Jewish mother, a reluctant atheist, and an ardent environmentalist. She is empty-nesting in Los Angeles. www.annabellegurwitch.com

What's a reasonable return on investment in today’s market?  As you might expect, the answer is, “It depends!”  Every investor must accept risk in order to attain reward.  Even doing nothing is a risk with its own reward.  The obvious goal is to achieve maximum reward with minimum risk.  Duh.  But what are the risks and how do you assess them?  What are the potential returns?  What’s about the not-so-obvious risks?  And what’s reasonable to expect in today’s economy? Tough questions!Balancing in our chairs behind The Real Estate Guys™ golden microphones (actually, they’re black with smelly foam that prevents our P's from popping too profusely), to talk through all of these perplexities are your Host and mental gymnast, Robert Helms; Co-host and floor tumbler, Russell Gray; and Chief spotter, the Godfather of Real Estate, Bob Helms.Real estate is as much an art as it is a science. There are so many different markets, sub-markets, product types and deal structures to choose from.  Beyond that, there are variations in economic conditions, seller motivations, tax laws, interest rates and on and on and on.  The types of returns which can be attained in a real estate investment range from bankruptcy (on the VERY negative side) to infinite returns (profit on nothing invested). We like the latter better, don't you?Recognizing that real estate investing is “non-traditional” when compared to the conventional approach of "work hard, pay taxes, live below your means and buy stocks, bond and mutual funds for the long haul" - we talk about the ranges of returns which are reasonable to expect when investing in certain kinds of real estate.  We also talk about how certain deal structures can really improve your ROI.Another topic of discussion is the risks of investing versus those of NOT investing.  There is an adage which says that the more risk you take, the more return you should demand.  We agree with that one. Of course, it presupposes that you understand the risks and can factor them into your decisions.There is another adage which says that higher returns mean more risk.  NOT NECESSARILY!  There are actually deal structures which REDUCE risk while INCREASING return.  So of course, we talk about those things because they are among our favorite benefits of real estate investing!After this broadcast, we slipped off our leotards (sorry, bad visual) and headed for the showers (worse visual!), pleased with our performance.  Now we’re waiting for the judges (that’s you) to put our scores.  We only ask that not take into consideration what we look like in our leotards.  And, that you remember to take us to the gym because, as you probably already know after the leotard visual, we REALLY need the workout!Want more?  Sign up for The Real Estate Guys™ free newsletter at http://realestateguysradio.com/newsletter-sig
