David Smith explains his book “Wokicide,” arguing that “woke” (critical social justice theory rooted in critical theory and postmodernism) persists in universities and schools because education lacks quality control, not because of politics. He proposes applying ISO 9001 and HACCP-style quality assurance to K–12 and universities: validated curriculum specifications, independent expert panels, hazard analysis, audits (scheduled and targeted), corrective action, and continuous improvement. A central Workplace Improvement Notice (WIN) system would let staff and even parents file tracked complaints with guaranteed responses, replacing DEI/unconscious-bias training with “deprogramming” modules and prioritizing evidence and accountability. Smith says QA would stop unvalidated ideological drift and is affordable by redirecting existing DEI-related spending.00:00 Intro and Two-Part Talk00:58 Why Woke Persists01:30 Education Lacks QA02:10 Validation Over Ideology04:53 Defining Woke Origins06:35 From Civil Rights to Overreach07:43 Flawed Woke Reasoning10:02 How Woke Spreads11:16 Equity Outcomes and Activism13:33 Deconstruction Playbook17:50 Woke Hall of Fame21:39 Perfect Storm in Education25:42 QA Solution Framework27:41 ISO 9001 and HACCP29:42 Authority and Adoption30:55 Four Phases Implementation33:35 Validation and Hazard Analysis34:47 Audits Monitoring Corrective Action37:09 Aggressive Feedback Loops39:05 WIN Notice Explained41:41 Curriculum Content Validation43:12 Audits in K-12 Schools44:53 K-12 QA Wrap Up45:47 Universities as the Source47:29 University Validation Hurdles50:30 University Auditing Red Flags51:58 Objections and Pushback57:12 Failure Modes and Fixes59:39 Cost and Staffing Reality01:02:08 Closing Q&A and Next StepsAmazon Kindle version: Wokicide: Pest Control for Education: https://a.co/d/0d0YeApM========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Is God truly omniscient, or does the Bible present a different picture? In this episode of Nephilim Death Squad, David Lee Corbo (The Raven), TopLobsta, and Ed Mabrie (Faith By Reason) continue a thought-provoking discussion about God's foreknowledge, free will, prophecy, and what Scripture actually teaches.The conversation examines challenging biblical passages involving Job, Abraham, Satan (ha-satan), Isaiah 45:7, Revelation, and the nature of God's knowledge. Does free will require that future human choices remain genuinely open? How should Christians understand omniscience, omnipotence, and omnipresence? Are these biblical concepts, or later theological formulations?Ed Mabrie walks through numerous scriptural examples while explaining why he believes the Bible teaches that God possesses all knowledge that exists while allowing genuine human freedom. The discussion also explores prophecy, the role of the adversary in the Book of Job, the seven churches of Revelation, and why Christians should test every teaching against Scripture rather than blindly accepting tradition.Whether you agree or disagree, this episode is designed to encourage careful Bible study, thoughtful discussion, and deeper examination of difficult theological questions.If you enjoy conversations about:Biblical theologyChristian worldviewFree will vs predestinationRevelationOld Testament studiesBiblical prophecyNephilim researchChristian apologeticsyou're in the right place.► Subscribe for more Biblical analysis, Christian worldview discussions, and conspiracy research through a Biblical lens.Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and everywhere podcasts are available.Ed Mabrie (Faith By Reason)Website: https://faithbyreason.netYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FaithByReasonFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/FaithByReason00:00 Intro00:54 Welcome & Patreon Updates02:20 Brohemian Grove Announcement03:05 Ed Mabrie Introduction04:10 Faith By Reason & New Book07:05 Continuing Last Week's Discussion08:30 Does God Know Every Future Choice?10:20 The Three "Omnis" Debate12:05 Free Will and God's Foreknowledge13:00 Job, Satan, and the Nature of Testing14:40 Isaiah 45:7 and God Creating Evil18:00 Biblical Examples Supporting the Discussion28:30 Revelation and the Seven Churches43:15 Questions, Objections & Scriptural Responses58:40 Final ThoughtsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/nephilim-death-squad--6389018/support.☠️ Nephilim Death Squad — New episodes 5x/week.Join our Patreon for early access, bonus shows & the private Telegram hive.Subscribe on YouTube & Rumble, follow @NephilimDSquad on X/Instagram, grab merch at toplobsta.com. Questions/bookings: chroniclesnds@gmail.com — Stay dangerous.

Today we dive back into John 1:1, but since the Jehovah's Witnesses who come to your door often have pre-memorized speeches about the verse, we need to be prepared. There are a whole range of ingenious interpretations of the first verse of John's Gospel that have been suggested down through the centuries by those who rejected, for one reason or another, the over-all message of the Gospel of John. We will be looking at a range of these objections today so that we will be ready to "give an answer" when the opportunity arises.

Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 02:25 – Where does the Bible say we should pray to Mary? 05:30 – Isn't Jesus the one mediator between God and man? 10:20 – If Mary was sinless, why did she need a savior? 14:35 – Where is the Immaculate Conception in the Bible? 18:55 – Why do Catholics give Mary titles that seem to belong only to Jesus? 21:25 – Doesn't calling Mary “Mother of God” make her sound like a goddess? 30:00 – Didn't Mary have other children after Jesus? Why do Catholics say Mary remained a virgin if the Bible mentions Jesus' brothers and sisters? 44:32 – Why do Catholics kneel before statues of Mary? 48:25 – Isn't the rosary vain repetition? 51:00 – Why ask Mary to pray for us when we can go directly to God?

Joe answers some objections to Vatican II raised by the SSPX. Transcript: Joe : Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer and in response to my recent video about the SSPX consecrations, I mentioned that despite what you may have heard, the dispute between the Vatican and the Society of St. Pius X not a dispute about the Latin mass. It is about whether or not Vatican II teaches error. As I put it last time, they accused the Council of Teaching error or heresy on three issues, religious liberty, accumanism, and collegiality. There simply is not time right now to do a deep dive ...

Moses and the Phases of Vision In the recent sermon titled "Moses - EP6 7.12.26," the story of Moses as depicted in Exodus 3 and Exodus 4 is used to explore the development of leadership and vision in the context of faith. The sermon emphasizes the idea that effective leadership is developed over time and through various phases, as explained by Dr. J. Robert Clinton in "The Making of a Leader." The Phases of a Godly Vision The sermon outlines the four phases of a vision anchored in God's call: Birth of a Vision: This is the initial spark of an idea for God's kingdom. For Moses, this began with the vision of delivering the Israelites from slavery. Death of the Vision: This phase is marked by obstacles and setbacks that cause doubt and abandonment of the vision. Moses experienced this when he fled to Midian after his initial attempt to lead ended in failure. Rebirth of the Vision: God rekindles the vision, as seen when He appeared to Moses in the burning bush at Exodus 3:10, commanding him to return to Egypt and lead his people to freedom. Fulfillment of the Vision: This occurs when the vision becomes reality, as Moses eventually leads the Israelites out of Egypt. Moses' Objections and God's Responses Moses raised several objections to God's renewed call: "Who am I?" (Exodus 3:11): Moses doubted his worthiness, but God assured him, "I will be with you" (Exodus 3:12). "What if they do not believe me?" (Exodus 4:1): God provided Moses with signs like turning his staff into a snake (Exodus 4:2-4) to prove His presence. "I am slow of speech" (Exodus 4:10): God reassured Moses, "I will help you speak" (Exodus 4:11-12). Despite these reassurances, Moses initially resisted, saying, "Please send someone else" (Exodus 4:13). However, God's anger was kindled, and He provided Aaron to assist Moses, demonstrating that God equips those He calls. Vision and Leadership The sermon suggests that every believer is called to have a vision for God's kingdom, whether grand or modest. It highlights that visions are not always about monumental tasks like Nehemiah's rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls, but can be simple acts of faith and obedience, akin to the servant girl's vision for Naaman's healing. Reflection and Call to Action The sermon concludes with a call for self-reflection: Do you know God's vision for your life? Are you willing to pursue it, despite objections or fears? It encourages believers to pray for clarity and to rely on God's strength to fulfill His purposes. The message is clear: God can resurrect visions that seem dead when we acknowledge our limitations and depend on Him. In closing, the sermon reminds us that a relationship with Jesus is foundational for receiving and pursuing a God-given vision. As Jesus transforms our hearts, He enables us to serve His kingdom purposefully. For further reflection, consider reading Exodus 3-4 to see how God's interactions with Moses can inspire your own journey of faith and leadership.

William Lane Craig recently explained why he no longer believes Revelation 20 describes a literal millennial reign of Christ. In this episode, Peter Goeman examines Craig's arguments, his interpretation of the first resurrection, and his claim that premillennialism creates insurmountable theological problems.Does Craig's approach arise from careful biblical exegesis, or does he allow philosophical assumptions to override the straightforward meaning of Scripture? This discussion considers Revelation 20, Old Testament kingdom prophecies, millennial sacrifices, the resurrection, and the importance of authorial intent.Time Stamps:00:00 William Lane Craig Changes His Eschatology04:25 Will There Be a Literal Millennium?05:51 Craig on the First Resurrection & Literalism13:13 Does the Millennium Contradict the Rest of Scripture?20:18 The Major Problem with Craig's Methodology22:31 What Did the Old Testament Prophets Predict?28:34 Millennial Sacrifices and Ezekiel's Temple35:45 Craig's Objections to the Millennial Kingdom47:46 Philosophy, Exegesis, and the Authority of ScriptureVideo on Sacrifices in Ezekiel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTD4x5-qij4WLC article reviewed in this video: https://www.reasonablefaith.org/writings/question-answer/will-there-be-a-millenniumIf you have found the podcast helpful, consider ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠leaving a review on Itunes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠rating it on Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

▶ Click Here to Master Evidence Foundations ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ EPISODE SUMMARY Evidence law governs controlled proof at trial. Evidence is information presented to a factfinder to prove or disprove a fact. It may include testimony, documents, photographs, recordings, physical objects, stipulations, judicially noticed facts, summaries, expert opinions, business records, public records, and demonstrative aids.The judge decides most questions of admissibility. The jury decides disputed facts and weighs admitted evidence. The parties offer evidence, opponents object, and the judge rules.Rule 104(a) gives the judge authority to decide preliminary questions about admissibility, witness qualification, and privilege. In doing so, the judge is generally not bound by evidence rules except privilege rules. Rule 104(b) governs conditional relevance. When relevance depends on whether another fact exists, the judge admits the evidence if a reasonable jury could find the connecting fact.Relevance is a low threshold. Evidence is relevant if it has any tendency to make a consequential fact more or less probable. Relevant evidence is generally admissible unless another rule excludes it. Irrelevant evidence is inadmissible.Rule 403 permits exclusion when probative value is substantially outweighed by unfair prejudice, confusion, misleading the jury, delay, waste, or cumulative proof. The rule favors admissibility because the danger must substantially outweigh probative value.Some evidence is admissible for one purpose but not another. Limiting instructions help control the jury's use of such evidence.Objections must usually be timely and specific to preserve error. If evidence is excluded, the proponent may need an offer of proof to show what the evidence would have established.Judicial notice allows courts to accept certain indisputable adjudicative facts without formal proof. In civil cases, the jury must accept judicially noticed facts as conclusive. In criminal cases, the jury may but need not accept them.Burdens of production and persuasion determine who must produce evidence and who must convince the factfinder. Presumptions may affect these burdens.The central lesson is that Evidence starts with purpose. Before applying any rule, ask: What is the evidence, who is offering it, and what fact is it offered to prove? That question is the foundation of relevance, admissibility, objections, and trial proof.

If Jesus Sat Down, Why Are You Still Trying So Hard? The Old Testament priests never sat down because the work was never done. Jesus sat down because it was. In this message from Hebrews 10, Andrew Farley exposes the exhausting cycle of repeat confession, progressive forgiveness, and guilt-driven religion; and replaces it with the scandalous truth of the New Covenant. Your sins aren't covered. They're removed. You're not partly sanctified. You're fully set apart. Once for all. Sit down and believe it. Discussion Questions for Hebrews 10: Read verses 5–7. What do these verses reveal about the Father's heart and Jesus' willingness? Read verses 8–9. Where do Christians still mix the first covenant with the second, and why is that exhausting? Read verse 10. What changes when holiness (sanctification) is a once-for-all gift, not a lifelong achievement project? Read verses 11-12. What does standing vs. sitting represent here? Which are you doing? Why? Read verse 14. What arises within you when you hear that Jesus made you perfect forever? Objections? Celebration? Why? Read verse 15. How does this shape your view of the Holy Spirit's attitude toward you? Read verses 16–17. How does "sins remembered no more" change how you view yourself with God? Read verse 18. What modern "offerings" do people still bring today when forgiveness is already complete?

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosopher, mathematician, and computer scientist, Alan Turing's article "Computing Machinery And Intelligence", published in 1950 in the journal Mind. This is an important early work on artificial intelligence, which proposes what later has come to be called the "Turing Test". Specifically it examines Turing's framing of a set of objections and arguments, which he calls "opinions opposed to my own". These include: The Theological Objection The "Heads in the Sand" Objection The Mathematical Objection The Argument from Consciousness Arguments from Various Disabilities Lady Lovelace's Objection Argument from Continuity in the Nervous System The Argument from Informality of Behaviour The Argument from Extrasensory Perception To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadler If you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoM You can find over 4500 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler Get Alan Turing's "Computing Machinery And Intelligence" here - https://courses.cs.umbc.edu/471/papers/turing.pdf

In early 2016, Virginia Giuffre, through her counsel, filed a motion seeking to compel Ghislaine Maxwell to produce documents that had been withheld based on objections and privilege claims deemed improper by the plaintiff. Giuffre's motion challenged Maxwell's broad assertions of attorney‑client privilege, work‑product doctrine, vagueness, overbreadth, and undue burden. The motion was accompanied by detailed declarations—most notably by attorney Sigrid S. McCawley—which laid out why many of Maxwell's objections appeared unjustified and why the requested materials were relevant and necessary for Giuffre's case.The court reviewed both the motion and Maxwell's opposition, which included memoranda of law and declarations defending her objections and maintaining that providing certain documents would violate privacy rights or exceed the scope of discovery. Ultimately, in a partially favorable ruling for Giuffre, the court granted the motion in part and denied it in part, indicating that while some objections were valid, Maxwell was required to produce additional documents where privilege claims were not properly supported.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Giuffre v.

One of just 12 California lawyers dual-certified in both family and appellate law, Lisa McCall has an unusually clear view of how family trial work plays out on appeal. Lisa shares the record‑killing mistakes family lawyers often make.And with 14 published opinions, Lisa shares about publish-worthy issues and her work on the amicus committee at the Association of Certified Family Law Specialists to clarify the law.We also discuss recent changes to domestic violence laws, and to the statement of decision procedures.Key points:Statements of decision: Request early. Starting January 2027, you must request a statement of decision before submission—make it the last line of closing—or you lose it. Objections drop to a 10‑day window, and judgments must be prepared within 30 days. (CCP §§ 632, 634).3044 findings: miss them, you lose. Missing written findings on the Family Code section 3044 domestic‑violence custody presumption is treated as a structural error—one of the rare spots where a procedural miss virtually guarantees reversal.Offers of proof: get them on paper. When a judge excludes evidence and won't hear oral offers of proof, preserve the issue with written offers explaining what the evidence would have shown, like in Marriage of Burmeister.Smart motions in limine in family court. Broad “exclude everything” motions go nowhere; targeted motions to enforce prior orders or strip out legally improper recommendations are where motions in limine earn their keep.If your family law case has even a shot at the Court of Appeal, don't walk into your next hearing blind—listen to this episode first.

Many Christians dismiss the evidence from near-death experiences on biblical or theological grounds by quoting Hebrews 9:27, citing soul sleep, worrying about new age associations, or treating any extra-biblical vision as automatically suspect.

Jeremy Bearer-Friend and Sarah Polcz discuss their proposal to require leading AI firms to pay taxes in equity, reshaping how the gains from AI are distributed --- Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping the economy, but two Stanford Law alumni argue that existing tax frameworks are failing to capture—or fairly distribute—the value it generates. Jeremy Bearer-Friend, JD '14, a professor at George Washington University Law School, and Sarah Polcz, JSM '12, JSD '20, a professor at UC Davis School of Law, join co-host Professor Richard Thompson Ford to discuss a proposal that would require leading AI companies to pay a portion of their taxes in equity rather than cash, with those shares placed into a public trust, and their work with U.S. Senate members to make this happen. The conversation explores a central question: If AI was built on vast amounts of human-generated text, images, and creative work, who is entitled to share in the wealth it produces? Bearer-Friend and Polcz connect their proposal to broader concerns about wealth concentration and whether the gains from AI will flow to a narrow class of tech executives and investors—or to the public at large. The episode also examines how an equity-based tax could work in practice, including questions of governance, political insulation, and the mechanics of a sovereign wealth fund, and what it would mean to give the public a direct stake in the companies shaping the future of artificial intelligence.

In today's loud marketplace, the biggest challenge isn't just getting someone's attention — it's getting them to stay committed long after the initial conversation. Most salespeople and influencers work harder than ever delivering polished solutions, only to watch prospects hesitate, negotiate harder on price, or disappear entirely. Understanding one powerful psychological principle can flip that dynamic and help you create long-term ownership and stronger results.   The IKEA Effect is the well-documented tendency for people to place significantly higher value on products, ideas, and solutions they have helped create or assemble themselves. When someone invests meaningful effort and successfully completes even a small part of the process, they develop psychological ownership. This makes them like it more, defend it more, and feel more committed to moving forward with you.   This principle changes how you influence and sell because it moves you away from trying to convince people and toward helping them convince themselves. When someone feels they helped create the outcome, they don't just agree with you — they become advocates for the solution. This creates stronger relationships, higher close rates, and customers who stick around longer because the value feels personal to them.

Responses To Objections Against The Writings Of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, The Promised Messiah ( AS)

Send us Fan MailThe Big IdeaProfessor Adam Braus pitches a fix nobody's tried: instead of taxing property at a flat rate, tax it like income — progressively. Own a modest home? You're barely taxed. Own a $50 million real estate empire? You pay real money. It's a property tax with a conscience, and Adam argues it could solve the housing crisis, fix California's broken Prop 13 system, and take a swing at the billionaire-hoarding problem all at once.Scot Maupin, doing his usual generous-interrogator thing, pokes at yachts, shell companies, and whether landlords will just pass the cost to renters — and Adam's got an answer for all of it.What's Broken Right NowProp 13 locks property taxes to a home's original purchase price — not what it's worth today. Buy a house in 1985 for pocket change, and decades later you're still paying taxes on pocket change, even as the home is worth millions.This hits commercial property too — including, allegedly, golf courses that shuffle ownership through shell-share tricks so they're never technically "sold."The result: California's budget is starved relative to its actual wealth, and the state leans harder on income tax to compensate — which hits working people disproportionately harder than a property tax would.Meanwhile, in places like Montana and Hawaii, wealthy outsiders are buying up land and driving housing costs through the roof — not because there's a housing shortage, but because of hoarding and speculation.The Fix: Progressive Property TaxInstead of one flat rate on a property's value, tax brackets stack on a person's total property holdings:First $200K (or so): little to no tax — protects ordinary homeowners and grandmas on fixed incomes.$200K–$2M: a low rate, comparable to today's lowest-tax states.$2M–$10M+: rates climb toward the top of the national range (2%+).+$50M: a "super bracket" — 2.5–3%+ on the excess.The pitch: this could roughly double California's property tax revenue (from ~$100B to $170–200B), funneled toward building housing, ending homelessness, and politically popular wins like paid leave — while lowering the tax burden on working people (no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security).How It Closes the LoopholesA beneficiary registry (already used in Australia and some U.S. states) ties every property to a real human owner — so you can't dodge the tax by splitting ownership across an LLC for every house, or spreading deeds across family members.Commercial real estate is included. Adam's pitch turns this into a two-for-one: tax pressure forces a sell-off of empty downtown office space (a post-COVID glut), and the state can buy it cheap and convert it into actual housing — bringing residents (and life) back to dead downtowns.The Objections, Pre-DebunkedScot plays it straight and asks the obvious questions:"Won't the rich just flee to Florida or Montana?" Adam's counter: capital flight of real estate is mostly harmless — the buildings can't be packed in a suitcase. If a billionaire sells, the property stays in-state; prices just come down, which is the point."Won't this just raise rents?" Possibly nudges the very top of the market, but the broad base of affordable housing should barely move — maybe even gets cheaper as demand shifts."Will yachts and jets count?" No — keep it simple, this is real estate only.Where the Idea Comes FromAdam name-checks Gary's Economics (and its scrappier YouTube cousin, Barry's Economics) for the broader "tax wealth, not work" framing, and ties the proposal back to existing progressive wealth-tax proposals from Bernie Sanders (the famous "8% bracket above $1B," pegged to average market returns) and Elizabeth Warren (flat 2% above $50M) — positioning the progressive property tax as a more politically palatable, state-level cousin of those ideas.Detour of the EpisodeA spirited tangent on Maine's Senate race, Graham Platner — oyster farmer, combat veteran, and the episode's pick for "proof this message can win" — plus a running bit on whether wind turbines can literally use up the wind. (They cannot. Probably.)Quotable"I'm so wealthy that I can't pay the tax on my wealth." — the complaint Adam says is doing a lot of work to protect a small number of very rich people.Want me to also draft a short, punchier episode description (the 2–3 sentence blurb for podcast apps) or social media copy to go with these notes?

Today in The Episcopal Consecrations, we address the questions and objections that many Catholics are asking. Does the SSPX see itself as a parallel Church? Are these consecrations motivated by self-preservation or by the good of souls? Why continue dealing with Rome if there are serious disagreements? And how can Catholics reconcile obedience to the Pope with resistance to policies they believe are harmful to the Faith? Joined by Fr. Shane Pezzutti, we take a step back from the historical and canonical arguments to examine the practical concerns, misunderstandings, and difficult questions surrounding the upcoming consecrations and the Crisis in the Church today.

How has the Church actually handled episcopal consecrations throughout the centuries—and is the requirement of a papal mandate as absolute as many assume? Fr. Ian Andrew Palko walks us through the development of Church discipline, from the early Church to the modern era, and examines real cases of consecrations without papal approval. Some were clearly schismatic—but others were tolerated or even later accepted. What explains the difference?

The main goal of the Society of Saint Pius X is to preserve the Catholic Faith in its fullness and purity, to teach its truths, and to diffuse its virtues, especially through the Roman Catholic priesthood. Authentic spiritual life, the sacraments, and the traditional liturgy are its primary means of bringing this life of grace to souls. Although the traditional Latin Mass is the most visible and public expression of the work of the Society, we are committed to defending Catholic Tradition in its entirety: all of Catholic doctrine and morals as the Church has always defended them.

Every buyer says they are waiting right now. Waiting for rates. Waiting for prices. Waiting for the market to make the decision for them. In this episode of Tim & Julie Harris, Tim and Julie break down the buyer objection agents are hearing everywhere in the 2026 real estate market: “I'm waiting for rates to come down.” The problem is that most agents do not know how to handle that conversation, so they lose the buyer, lose the commission, and lose control of the deal. You will learn why the real issue is usually payment, not interest rate, and how seller-paid rate buydowns can help buyers understand their options more clearly. Tim and Julie also explain why agents should put their best daily energy into listings, not uncertain buyers, and why listings create more leverage, more lead generation, and more career stability. You will also learn why sellers require higher-level skills, why buyers can always change their minds, how builders use payment-based marketing to compete, and how creative financing strategy can help you win both buyers and listings in a more balanced 2026 market. This is exactly the kind of tactical training serious agents need if they want a real business, stronger listing skills, and a better career path through eXp Realty and Libertas.

The Bible makes sense in its deepest and richest capacity only when we read it through Jesus shaped goggles. When we see all of it through the lens of its Main Character – it should cause us to preach explicitly Christian sermons.Mike Neglia (with some help from Pilgrim Benham) explains, shows and tells how to preach Gospel centered sermons that proclaim the gospel from every passage at our in-person training event in St Petersburg, Florida. After graduating Bible college in Siegen, Germany in the summer of 2002, Mike flew to London, then hitchhiked across the UK and over to Ireland and finished up in the city of Cork. He helped out with Calvary Chapel Cork for a few weeks of summer outreaches and intended on leaving, but the pastor asked him to stay on “for a little bit longer.” He stayed in Cork as a full-time missionary youth outreach coordinator/assistant for more than two years. In 2005 the pastor felt called by the Lord to go elsewhere (New Zealand) and asked if Mike and Rachel would consider staying on and taking over the church. His first Sunday morning was October 18, 2005, preaching to a congregation of four people. Recommended Episodes:Is it a stretch to say that everything in the Bible points to Jesus? –https://anchor.fm/theologyforthepeople/episodes/Christ-Centered-Hermeneutics—Part-1-Is-it-a-stretch-to-say-that-everything-in-the-Bible-points-to-Jesus—-with-Mike-Neglia-e17q0sdResponding to Objections to Christ-Centered Hermeneutics: https://anchor.fm/theologyforthepeople/episodes/Christ-Centered-Hermeneutics—Part-2-Responding-to-Objections-to-Christ-Centered-Hermeneutics—with-Mike-Neglia-e18563kFrom Punk to Pastor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCRutGpHvT8 The Preacher as Historian Linguist and Mystic: https://www.expositorscollective.com/podcast/2019/2/26/episode-36-the-preacher-as-historian-linguist-and-mysticConnect:For information about our upcoming training events visit ExpositorsCollective.com Join our private Facebook group to continue the conversation: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ExpositorsCollective

Email us: Will@faithfulpoliticspodcast.comWhat happens when the justice system becomes one of the central battlegrounds of American politics?In this episode of Faithful Politics, Will Wright and Pastor Josh Burtram speak with Adam Klasfeld, veteran legal journalist and editor in chief of All Rise News, about several major legal fights unfolding in the Trump era. Adam has spent years covering high-profile court cases from inside the courtroom, including Trump's criminal and civil cases, the E. Jean Carroll litigation, the Epstein prosecution, impeachment proceedings, and major cases involving civil rights and due process.The conversation begins with Trump's proposed $1.776 billion anti-weaponization fund. Adam explains where the fund came from, why its structure is raising alarms, and how taxpayer money could potentially be distributed with little public oversight. He also walks through why Capitol Police officers Harry Dunn and Dan Hodges are challenging the fund, and what the fight says about January 6, political loyalty, and accountability.The episode then turns to Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man who was sent to El Salvador despite a court order blocking his removal. Adam explains why this case has become such an important due process fight, why judges across the political spectrum have raised concerns, and why the case matters even to people who may not follow immigration law closely.Finally, Adam breaks down the Trump Justice Department's case involving the Southern Poverty Law Center. He explains the government's claims about SPLC's former informant program, the connection to Charlottesville and Unite the Right, and why the case raises larger questions about civil rights organizations, extremism, and the rewriting of recent history.Relevant links for Adam Klasfeld:All Rise Newshttps://www.allrisenews.com/https://substack.com/@klasfeldreportshttps://x.com/KlasfeldReportshttps://www.instagram.com/adamklasfeld/Guest BioAdam Klasfeld provides some of the “best legal writing inside the courtroom” (MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell) and insights that are “always so smart and on the money” (MSNBC's Katie Phang).

What if the very thing you're afraid of hearing on a sales call… is actually proof that someone wants to buy? In this powerful episode of the CEO Glow Show, Sheila Bella completely reframes the way beauty entrepreneurs think about objections. Because hearing "That's expensive," "I need to think about it," or "Do you have anything cheaper?" doesn't mean the sale is dead. It means they're thinking. It means they're considering. It means they're in motion. Sheila shares a personal story from her early brow studio days when a single pricing objection caused her to immediately discount her services out of fear and desperation. What happened next taught her one of the biggest lessons in business and sales. This episode breaks down why objections trigger people emotionally, how self-worth affects sales conversations, and why your reaction—not the objection itself—is often what loses the sale. If you've ever panicked when someone questioned your pricing, overexplained your value, or discounted too quickly, this episode will completely change the way you sell. Because objections aren't rejection. They're invitations.

By now, you may be familiar with the fine-tuning argument for intelligent design. Scientists have discovered a whole suite of parameters and initial conditions appear to be exquisitely tuned to allow for complex life to exist, and the argument is that intelligent design better explains that evidence than chance or necessity. But you may not know the most common objections to the fine-tuning argument, or how to respond to them. On this ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid welcomes philosopher and intelligent design scholar Peter S. Williams to the show to equip us to answer the most common objections to the fine-tuning argument. Objections to fine-tuning typically fall into three categories: the "fine-tuning isn't real" bunch, the "fine-tuning is no big deal" group, and objections that posit a type of multiverse proposal.

Does John 6 really teach the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, or are Catholics reading too much into the passage? In this episode of Catholic Answers Live, Catholic Answers apologists continue responding to major Protestant objections to the Catholic interpretation of Jesus' Bread of Life discourse. The discussion examines whether Jesus' failure to clarify misunderstandings proves literal intent, how Catholics answer the Old Testament prohibition against drinking blood, and whether John 6 is truly connected to the Eucharist despite John not including the Last Supper narrative. Additional questions address figurative language about never hungering or thirsting, what Jesus meant by promising eternal life, and where the Gospel of John fits among the four Gospels. A detailed biblical defense of the Eucharist and the Catholic understanding of John 6. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 10:01 – Catholics argue that since Jesus didn't clarify the literal thoughts of his listeners then he must have intended his words to be taken literally. But Jesus' lack of clarification for misunderstandings is nothing new under the sun. He did it in John 2:15-17 concerning his teaching about destroying the temple of his body.  16:37 – Jesus can't intend us to literally drink his blood because the Bible prohibits the partaking of blood in Leviticus 17:10-12.”  21:22 – Catholics appeal to John 6 to prove Christ's Real Presence in the Eucharist. But John 6 has nothing to do with the Eucharist at the Last Supper.  30:15 – Where does John Fall among the gospels since John does not contain the last supper?  35:04 – If Catholics take Jesus' words to eat his flesh literally, then would also have to take his words literally in verse 35 when he speaks of never hungering when we come to him and never thirsting when we believe in him.  45:57 – If Jesus meant his words literally—and intended us to engage in a physical act to eat his flesh, then we'd have to take him literally when he says that we will never die.
