Today on the show, we dive into the unreliable nature of memory—inspired by my daughter's new favorite show, Brainchild—and how our identity is not something we make, but something revealed and cultivated. Against the backdrop of a return to New York City and Juilliard, I reflect on old memories of shame and self-doubt, contrasting them with the searching question of the Christmas carol, "What Child Is This?" ultimately proposing a spiritual practice of self-compassion: that, like a 400-year-old melody, our memories can be recast in the spirit of redemption and grace.

This week, Merideth records live from New York City (!) and continues the new Advent Songbook series. The series, which goes live on Mondays on Substack and Fridays on the podcast through the rest of the year, pairs rich examples of Christmas art with devotional reflections and practical spiritual postures to shape this season of waiting and wonder. Today's installment, "Major prophets and minor chords," explores Handel's Messiah, specifically the very first aria, "Comfort Ye," based on Isaiah 40:1-4. Merideth shares a powerful, personal reflection on how this music broke through a time of professional striving and spiritual distance, reminding her that what makes music great is the same thing that makes God great: persistent nearness, or "Withness." It's an invitation to surrender, not strive, and to listen with the heart. Links: Buy Merideth's first book: Click here to read more about "The Artist's Joy."

Sermon from Aaron Anderson on November 16, 2025
Jonathan Drake returns for The No Treason Podcast Ep. 6, continuing his deep dive into Lysander Spooner's No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority. Picking up with Sections 8 through 15, Jonathan exposes how the secret ballot, far from being a safeguard of liberty, is actually a tool of tyranny, shielding voters from accountability while empowering what Spooner calls “a secret band of robbers and murderers.” He unpacks Spooner's dismantling of the notion of consent in governance, explaining how elections, oaths of office, and the Constitution itself fail every test of natural law. With sharp humor and vivid analogies, from pork smoking and squirrels teaching natural law to the absurdity of “oaths given to the wind”, Jonathan ties Spooner's 19th-century insights to modern politics and moral philosophy. It's a masterclass in understanding why secret governance and blind patriotism lead not to freedom, but to voluntary servitude.
On Veterans Day, we honor those who have sworn an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic – often giving their lives to do so. An important VictoryCo.org webinar today at 11 a.m. Eastern Time will call attention to the importance of such oaths sworn by other public servants, as well. Specifically, the question arises: Can those like New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, who adhere to one or more ideologies that require the destruction of our constitutional Republic, be allowed to faithlessly swear such an oath? And, if they do so, how can such perfidy not be grounds for preventing their serving? The Founders wisely required that officeholders attest to their loyalty to the Constitution. Those who won't do so faithfully cannot be allowed to pursue their revolutionary agendas inside our government. This is Frank Gaffney.

As we continue through the sermon on the mount, hear Pastor Michael preach out of Matthew 5:33-37 on oaths. Our words have substantial weight - and being a follower of Christ means being a person of our word. Be challenged!
In this explosive second episode, Sammy "The Bull" Gravano and Michael Francis go head-to-head on what it really means to be made, the price of betrayal, and the code of silence known as Omerta. Power, respect, and violence collide in the most intense sitdown ever filmed.------
The Independent Characters - A Warhammer 40k Podcast | Radio
Episode 268 of The Independent Characters lumbers onto the battlefield just in time for Halloween – and it's a dark and twisted one! When we set out to cover both the Imperial Knights and their blasphemous counterparts, the Chaos Knights, it quickly became clear that the topic was far too massive for a single episode. Carl's optimism got the better of him (again), and what was shaping up to be a five-to-six-hour show had to be cleaved in two. Thus, our Show of Force: Oaths and Damnation has become a two-parter. This episode, we descend into the shadows to explore the corrupted Knight Houses that turned their backs on honor and swore allegiance to the Dark Gods. Carl and Adan take you through the lore, the tabletop presence, the terrifying rules, and the evolution of these towering engines of damnation. From the infernal bargains of the Infernal Houses to the ruthless traditions of the Iconoclasts, Chaos Knights embody the darker half of this story, and they arrive on October 31st to haunt your feed. So lock your hatches, ward your soul, and prepare for a Halloween-ready dive into the corrupted grandeur of the Chaos Knights.

Spooner understood something most Americans still refuse to believe today. Every check on federal power you were taught about? They don't work. Oaths? Meaningless. Elections? Theater. Separation of powers? Not in practice. As he put it, tyrants only care about one thing. The post Lysander Spooner: The Truth About “Checks and Balances” first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.

This week we look at the daimonic goddess Styx, who is a personification of the river in Hades, but is also associated with Hatred. Her children are Victory, Force, and Rivalry, and Zeus rewarded her help in the Titanomachy by making the gods swear oaths upon her waters. Why do the qualities of a valiant warrior have their origin in a god of hatred? Is it a statement about war, or something else? The psychological possibilities may surprise you.

We continue our Feast Talk Series, The Good Life, which centers on the Sermon on the Mount. As part of the Sermon, Jesus presents six laws from the Law of Moses: Murder, Adultery, Divorce, Oaths, Eye for an Eye, and Love Your Neighbors. Jesus pointed out the spirit of each Law. Last Feast Sunday (August 24, 2025), in Talk 5, we learned that to Jesus, the Good Life is about having peace in our relationships. Today, in Talk 6, we learn that He's not yet finished emphasizing the spirit over the letter of the Law. Talk 6 focuses on what really matters: not how people regard us, but how, in God's eyes, we truly are. The key message of Talk 6 is: The Father sees you.
We continue our Feast Talk Series, The Good Life, which centers on the Sermon on the Mount. Part of the Sermon is Jesus presenting six laws from the Law of Moses: Murder, Adultery, Divorce, Oaths, Eye for an Eye; and Love Your Neighbors. In Talk 4, we learned Jesus' radical interpretation of the Law on Adultery. Today, in Talk 5, we'll learn that to Jesus, the Good Life is about having peace in your relationships. The only way to create real peace in this world is when we treat every human being—including our enemies—as God-Containers. The key– disturbing– message of Talk 5 is: Love your enemies.
We continue our Feast Talk Series, The Good Life, which centers on the Sermon on the Mount. In the Sermon, Jesus presents six laws from the Law of Moses: (1) Murder; (2) Adultery; (3) Divorce; (4) Oaths; (5) Eye for an Eye; and (6) Love Your Neighbors. In Talk 3, we learned Jesus' radical interpretation of the Law on Murder. Talk 4 tackles the Lord's radical interpretation of the Law on Adultery. It's an uncomfortable topic but Jesus talked about it because since during, or even before His time, and to this day, Adultery has been a hidden worldwide pandemic. According to Jesus, the virus behind the Adultery Pandemic is lust. Jesus is asking us to fight sin, and when we do, it will involve a lot of sacrifice–but it's worth it. Lust says: “This is your body which I'm taking for my pleasure…” But the selfless love of Jesus says: “This is my body, this is my blood…” Why did He suffer for you? His answer is the key message of Talk 4: “You're worth it.”
Welcome back to our Feast Talk Series on the Sermon on the Mount called The Good Life. In the Sermon, Jesus presents six laws from the Law of Moses and then offers His radical interpretation of it. The six laws He picked on are: (1) Murder; (2) Adultery; (3) Divorce; (4) Oaths; (5) Eye for an Eye; and (6) Love Your Neighbors. We'll be covering these six in the next three talks. Jesus' take on these six laws was so revolutionary, and must have been surprising to His Jewish audience, who thought holiness was just about behavior. By picking the six laws, Jesus was telling His disciples that in this new Kingdom, the law wasn't enough. God doesn't want behavior modification but inner transformation. Talk 3 of The Good Life series centers on the message: Forgive those who do not deserve to be forgiven.
This week I am going to stick with some local Sevier County issues, but those issues have a national implication. The free speech that is being silenced is being conducted by none other than the state representative for Tennessee House District 12, Fred Atchley. Additionally, it would seem that the County Sheriff has decided not to follow his oath. Guess what though - they both belong to the same group of people, yep the Good Old Boy network that have controlled Sevier County for nearly 50 years now.

Welcome to School of Ministry Podcast where we now examine (remastered) James 5:12 about honesty in speech: Christians should avoid swearing by heaven, earth, or other oaths and simply let their "yes" be yes and their "no" be no. The episode explains the historical and Biblical background of oaths, examples from Scripture, and Jesus' teaching in Matthew 5. The message calls listeners to examine their hearts and speech as a test of living faith, warns of the consequences of habitual deceit, and points to repentance and genuine transformation in Christ as our only hope.
Pastor Esteban Garcia continues our Matthew series in Matthew 5.
In a world where dishonesty is the default and truth feels like a revolutionary act, Jesus calls us to a higher standard. He teaches that our words should align with our actions, reflecting integrity and love. Oaths, which were once used to add weight to promises, only exist because of the prevalence of lies. Jesus calls us to speak simply and truthfully, recognizing that God is always present as the ultimate witness to our words. When we live out the truth, we live in alignment with God's character, and our integrity becomes a testimony of His faithfulness.

Episode 267 of The Independent Characters arrives right on schedule, and it's a big one, both in content and in subject matter. This time, we're striding into the battlefield with not one, but two colossal armies in our latest Show of Force. Join us as we explore both the Imperial Knights and their dark reflections, the Chaos Knights. These towering engines of war have a presence on the tabletop and in the lore that is impossible to ignore, and we're diving deep into every aspect of them. Edit: So as we started recording – we realize that this would turn into a 5-6 hour episode. Carl was, once again, too optimistic regarding how much we could cram into an episode. So we made the decision to divide this topic into two parts. Episode 268 will cover the Chaos Knights as Part 2 of Oaths and Damnation. Over the course of the episode, we cover their origins and history, the unique culture of the Knight Houses, and how those sworn oaths of loyalty can either lead to noble service to the Imperium or a fall into the corrupting grip of the Dark Gods. From lore to codex, units to battlefield roles, we've got it all packed in. As our Show of Force Episodes go – we'll also take a look back at their evolution over the years – how these armies have grown in design, rules, and miniature range to become some of the most striking models in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Carl and Adan – as well as a special guest, will unpack the details of these armies over the course of several hours. Fire up your void-shields because Episode 267 releases on October 18th, 2025.

Together, with Fr. Mike, we continue our examination of the second commandment. Fr. Mike emphasizes that an oath engages the Lord's name, and the Lord is the Lord of truth. We, therefore, have a duty as Christians to respect God's name in matters of truth. He also emphasizes that everything we say is either in conformity to truth or in opposition to truth. Today's readings are paragraphs 2150-2155. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

This week on the Black Tower Podcast, it's just Reese and Andrew holding down the Tower! Join us as we dive deep into the mysteries, lies, and carefully chosen words of the Aes Sedai. Is the White Tower's secrecy and manipulation truly necessary for the survival of the world, or has their web of half-truths done more harm than good? From the Oaths to their political games, we unravel the Cult of Secrecy surrounding the Aes Sedai and debate whether their actions are justified—or the spark of chaos that shaped the Wheel of Time world. Bring your thoughts, your hot takes, and maybe a ward against the Red Ajah—we're going in!

I commonly hear people use the phrase, “I swear to God.” It's casually thrown out in our culture, but the concept of a divine oath is as old as humanity itself and throughout history oaths have carried very serious cultural and societal weight in ways we can't imagine today.

Paragraph 1 A lawful oath is a part of religious worship, wherein the person swearing in truth, righteousness, and judgment, solemnly calls God to witness what he swears,1 and to judge him according to the truth or falseness thereof.2 1 Exod. 20:7; Deut. 10:20; Jer. 4:2 2 2 Chron. 6:22–23 — Paragraph 2 The name of God only is that by which men ought to swear; and therein it is to be used, with all holy fear and reverence; therefore to swear vainly or rashly by that glorious and dreadful name, or to swear at all by any other thing, is sinful, and to be abhorred;3 yet as in matter of weight and moment, for confirmation of truth, and ending all strife, an oath is warranted by the word of God;4 so a lawful oath being imposed by lawful authority in such matters, ought to be taken.5 3 Matt. 5:34,37; James 5:12 4 Heb. 6:16; 2 Cor. 1:23 5 Neh. 13:25 — Paragraph 3 Whosoever takes an oath warranted by the word of God, ought duly to consider the weightiness of so solemn an act, and therein to avouch nothing but what he knows to be truth; for that by rash, false, and vain oaths, the Lord is provoked, and for them this land mourns.6 6 Lev. 19:12; Jer. 23:10 — Paragraph 4 An oath is to be taken in the plain and common sense of the words, without equivocation or mental reservation.7 7 Ps. 24:4 — Paragraph 5 A vow, which is not to be made to any creature, but to God alone, is to be made and performed with all religious care and faithfulness;8 but popish monastical vows of perpetual single life,9 professed poverty,10 and regular obedience, are so far from being degrees of higher perfection, that they are superstitious and sinful snares, in which no Christian may entangle himself.11 8 Ps. 76:11; Gen. 28:20–22 9 1 Cor. 7:2,9 10 Eph. 4:28 11 Matt. 19:11
There is a lack of fear of God in the average Christian's language today. What is it that drives our language? Do we fear God, or is our language filled with taking God's name in vain or using minced oaths? In addition to this discussion on language, Josh and Kevin touch on vows and the importance of keeping vows that are made. This program includes: 1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Bank of America will stop "debanking" conservatives; Trump wants to end mail-in ballots; Muslim Nigerians killed 7,000 Christians this year) 2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
A new MP3 sermon from Generations Radio is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Oaths, Vows, and the Fear of God – What Does the Bible Say About That? Speaker: Kevin Swanson Broadcaster: Generations Radio Event: Radio Broadcast Date: 8/20/2025 Length: 27 min.

Are you truthful in all your speech and conduct? Are you being truthful because of fear of disappointing others or are you motivated by the character and grace of God. In this episode, we explore Matthew 5:33–37, where Jesus teaches about oaths, truthfulness, and the deeper meaning of integrity in God's Kingdom. What did Jesus really mean when said not to swear oaths at all? What does it mean to let your ‘Yes' be ‘Yes' and your ‘No' be ‘No'? Join us as we unpack the historical context of oaths, the heart behind Jesus' words, and how this teaching challenges us to live with honest, consistent character—without relying on a higher witness to prove our truthfulness.
