In John 3, Nicodemus comes to Jesus at night — confident, credentialed, fluent in the language of signs and law. But Jesus won't be managed. “Very truly,” he says — and when Jesus speaks, reality happens. The kingdom of God is not something you climb into; it is something spoken into you. You must be born from above — born of water and Spirit. Not a spiritual achievement. Not a better decision. A birth. Luther calls this passive righteousness: the Spirit blows where it wills, and you cannot command it. What flesh produces is flesh. What God speaks becomes life. This is not advice. It is promise.LENT CHALLENGE GRANTDouble your impact this Lenten season: if you sponsor an episode of Scripture First, a generous donor has agreed to double your donation. We greatly appreciate your support of the show. Learn more at lutherhouseofstudy.org/donateCARE OF SOULS - ADDICTIONIn Care of Souls, a special mini-series podcast from Luther House of Study, Lutheran pastors and theologians come together to explore the deeply personal and pastoral task of preaching to and caring for those struggling with life's challenging situations: addiction, death, family disharmony, and more. With conversations, real-life stories, and reflections from the front lines of ministry, Care of Souls equips listeners to enter the broken places of addiction not with easy answers, but with the crucified and risen Christ.Because in the end, it's not about fixing people—it's about preaching the Gospel.Listen to Care of Souls wherever you listen to podcasts or on the Luther House website: Care of Souls - AddictionGOSPEL John 3:1-171 Now there was a Pharisee named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews. 2 He came to Jesus by night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God; for no one can do these signs that you do apart from the presence of God." 3 Jesus answered him, "Very truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born from above." 4 Nicodemus said to him, "How can anyone be born after having grown old? Can one enter a second time into the mother's womb and be born?" 5 Jesus answered, "Very truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit. 6 What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not be astonished that I said to you, 'You must be born from above.' 8 The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit." 9 Nicodemus said to him, "How can these things be?" 10 Jesus answered him, "Are you a teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand these things?11 "Very truly, I tell you, we speak of what we know and testify to what we have seen; yet you do not receive our testimony. 12 If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you about heavenly things? 13 No one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. 14 And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.17 "Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.Support the showInterested in sponsoring an episode of Scripture First?Email Sarah at sarah@lhos.org or visit our donation page: lutherhouseofstudy.org/donate

Life's NOT fair! It's not fair when we work hard and don't get what we want. It's not fair when someone else doesn't work hard and gets what we want.

It's not fair that our God loves us even when we don't deserve it, in turn we can share an unconditional AGAPe love with our neighbors, friends, and family.

It is that time of year where celebrate the birthday of General George Washington!  Each year around this time our podcast pays tribute to the man Major General Henry "Light Horse Harry" Lee III eulogized as "First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen."     This year, we focus on Washington's Farewell Address, an incredible example of his oratorical skills and a blueprint for our republic.  In his address, Washington paints a rather cautionary tale on issues that will face our new nation.  Among others, he cautioned against the rise of political factions and foreign entanglements, issues that still affect our nation centuries later.     To lead the conversation this week, we are thrilled to welcome Henry Olson, senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, as our special guest.

Pitchers and catchers reported, position players participated in the first full-squad workout — and now, the Detroit Tigers are counting down the days to the first Grapefruit League game of spring training.

Jon Herold dives into the media's latest hit piece targeting Kurt Olson, unpacking why the New York Times' renewed focus on “election denialism” signals deeper concern over unfolding investigations into 2020. He examines the implications of federal involvement in Fulton County and what Arizona's emerging developments could mean for broader election integrity efforts. Jon also breaks down the SAVE Act debate, questioning whether voter ID alone can restore confidence in a system plagued by machine concerns, ballot harvesting, and transparency failures. From Russia's rumored return to dollar settlements and what that suggests about global realignment, to Trump's recent Truth Social statements on Epstein, Bondi, and Venezuela, the episode explores the tension between narrative warfare and policy reality. Plus: border laser chaos in El Paso, shifting economic indicators behind the headlines, and why political cheerleading or black-pilling both miss the mark.

This episode features a brief video reflection introducing a recent CHELIP blog essay by Melissa Morriss-Olson, Ph.D. that examines one of the quietest—and most consequential—forces shaping leadership culture: silence.The video frames the essay within a broader exploration of why innovation and change so often stall in higher education. Rather than focusing on a lack of ideas or commitment, it points to familiar leadership habits that make uncertainty, risk, and discomfort difficult to sustain. The reflection then turns to an even subtler dynamic—the unspoken rules leaders learn about what feels safe to say and what does not.The accompanying blog essay, The Cost of What We Don't Talk About in Leadership, explores how silence becomes embedded in leadership culture over time. Leaders learn to read the room, soften language, and avoid naming persistent patterns in the name of professionalism or stability. While this restraint may feel responsible in the short term, the essay argues that it often comes at a cost—diminishing clarity, slowing learning, and quietly sustaining unresolved challenges .Rather than assigning blame, the reflection emphasizes clarity: what becomes possible when leaders are able to speak honestly about the realities they are navigating. The video serves as an entry point into a larger conversation about leadership culture, candor, and the conditions required for meaningful change.

On Transfiguration Sunday, just before Lent begins, we climb the mountain with Peter, James, and John and watch Jesus reveal who he truly is. Our conversation with Lars Olson leans heavily into Luther's Law and Gospel distinction: God's holy voice exposes our sin and leaves us in fear, while Jesus delivers mercy through his speaking. As Moses and Elijah fade and only Christ remains, we hear that salvation doesn't come from building booths or getting it right, but from listening to the Son who goes down the mountain to the cross for us. CARE OF SOULS - ADDICTIONIn Care of Souls, a special mini-series podcast from Luther House of Study, Lutheran pastors and theologians come together to explore the deeply personal and pastoral task of preaching to and caring for those struggling with life's challenging situations: addiction, death, family disharmony, and more. Rooted in the theology of the cross and the Lutheran tradition of radical grace, this series offers both theological depth and practical guidance for pastors, church workers, and lay leaders.With conversations, real-life stories, and reflections from the front lines of ministry, Care of Souls equips listeners to enter the broken places of addiction not with easy answers, but with the crucified and risen Christ.Because in the end, it's not about fixing people—it's about preaching the Gospel.Listen to Care of Souls wherever you listen to podcasts or on the Luther House website: Care of Souls - AddictionCOURSES Do you like what you learn in the conversations on Scripture First?

It's easy to get overwhelmed by the onslaught of horrible headlines.  But advocates need to fight, and words are our weapons.  But the problem is, lawyers are never taught how to cut through the noise and get to the heart of the argument.  Part 1 defined the problem:  Abuse of Power; Trump exerting total control over the Department of Justice to weaponize the law against his enemies.   Don Lemon is the target de jure. In this, Part 2 of "Absolute Power" we consult with communications expert Dr. Randy Olson on how to cut the noise and speak clear truth to power.  But it's not easy, particularly when the powers that be engage in Steve Bannon's strategy of "flooding the zone with shit." Therefore, Dr. Olson provides valuable guidance on how we can better communicate the truth of what's happening.     IN THIS EPISODE:     Cutting through the information maelstrom to find the central theme of your communication (the "Dobzhansky" template); Understanding the power of narrative; Messaging for turbulent times; How Steve Bannon weaponizes non-narrative to "Flood the Zone with Shit"; "The Gish Gallop";  The "DNA" of narrative:  Dream, Nightmare, Action; Constructive critique of Abbe Lowell's press release in the Don Lemon case; The key to narrative is proper framing; A musical finale – in honor of friends and family in Minnesota – "Hospital in Duluth"  (written and performed by Doug Passon, with Ken Murray on harmonica).   LINKS: MORE ON DR.

Most human trafficking is nothing like what you see in Liam Neeson movies. Most trafficking is carried out by people familiar to the child involved.So what sort of precautions can, and should, we take?Why is communication with a trusted person soo important for children?And how can we, as adults, help children who might be at risk?I loved the whole conversation and definitely learned an awful lot about a subject I thought I had some idea of but it turns out almost everything I thought I knew was wrong.You can find Stephanie, and the Set Me Free Project here.Their website https://www.setmefreeproject.net/If you are interested in their training programs for work and agencies you can find that hereFollow her on FacebookAnd on Instagram They're even on Twitter! In the news this week; This study about the health impacts of "weight-cycling". A common myth heard these days is that intentionally losing weight (dieting) and then gaining that weight again is bad for your overall health and that, actually, you're better off staying at your higher weight. This is nonsense. There is ZERO evidence to show that that is the case and this study from 2014 clearly shows that.For next week's podcast we will do a "Top dieting myths" episode so, let me know if you have any questions you'd like answered or have heard something silly recently that you want to share.Remember that I am still looking for people to test to userfriendlyness of our program to people with hearing issues so if you would like to get involved and get FREE lifetime access, just send a little email to peter@healthypostnatalbody.comRemember to follow us on Instagram and Facebook for the competitions, wisdom and cute videos.

This week on Talk World Radio we're talking about Honduras. Joining us from Honduras is Jared Olson. He is a writer and independent investigative journalist documenting the human fallout from the so-called "war on drugs," state links to organized crime, and the targeting of land and water defenders in Mexico and Honduras. His work has appeared in the Intercept, the Los Angeles Times, the Baffler, the Nation, Foreign Policy, and more. See: https://jaredoperiodista.substack.com/p/my-latest-investigation-translated https://thebaffler.com/latest/spectacle-of-justice-olson https://theintercept.com/staff/jared-olson Feb 21-23 are Global Days of Action to #CloseBases: https://daytoclosebases.org

In 1953, a U.S. government scientist plunged ten stories from a New York City hotel window. The CIA called it suicide. The case was closed almost immediately.Decades later, the truth cracked open.Frank Olson was secretly drugged with LSD as part of a classified CIA program known as MKUltra. He questioned what he had seen. He wanted out. And after his death, the government lied—to his family, to investigators, and to the public.This episode traces Olson's final days, the illegal experiments he was tied to, the forensic evidence uncovered years later, and why many now believe his death was not a suicide—but a silencing.A true crime story of murder, secrecy, and a conspiracy the government never fully answered for.

Our founders wanted US attorneys to retain significant independence from the Department of Justice.  If that happens, then experienced prosecutors have the credibility, and moral fortitude to serve as a buffer between the unfettered power of the government and the people.   But the Trump administration wants absolute power. That's why we're seeing a slew of illegal US attorney appointments, installation of outsiders with zero prosecutorial experience, and the prosecutions of Trump's political enemies.  Absolute power corrupts absolutely and nowhere is that more apparent than the recent arrest of journalist Don Lemon simply for exercising his first amendment rights.   Therefore the public needs to see this for what it is--  the canary in the coal mine signaling America's rapid descent into authoritarian rule.  More importantly, attorneys need to do more to implore courts to curb these blatant abuses of power.  This is a 2-part episode.  During the first hour, we talk with Gary Restaino, the former US Attorney for the District of Arizona.  He gives his take on why this is not normal and why it matters.  In part two, we speak with communications expert, Dr. Randy Olson, who implores us to cut through "the information maelstrom" with clear communication. But that's not easy, particularly when there's so much happening all at once (Steve Bannon's "flood the zone with shit" strategy).  Therefore, Dr. Olson provides valuable guidance on how we can better communicate the truth of the urgency of now.   IN THIS EPISODE: The need for "insiders" i.e. experienced prosecutors who understand criminal litigation; Over-politization and weaponization in the current DOJ; The prosecution of Don Lemon; Challenging the prosecutors' grand jury presentations; The Trump takeover of individual US Atty offices;  The danger of unchecked paramilitary forces on city streets; What are laypeople and lawyers can do to combat ongoing and blatant abuses of power.    LINKS:  Gary Restaino on LinkedIn – His posts present a powerful perspective from someone who had a front row seat to how a local US attorney office should be run:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/gary-restaino-a27290370 Terrifying Abuses of Power: https://www.politico.com/news/2026/01/23/abuse-of-power-new-jersey-prosecutors-office-00745493

In this episode, Rebecca Olson shares how balance is not about perfect time management but about presence, clarity, and values. She explains how working moms can stop living in constant mental overload, avoid burnout, and create a version of success that allows for both ambition and family connection. In this episode, they discuss:Why balance feels different for every womanHow motherhood often triggers a deeper identity shiftThe role of vision and values in creating sustainable balanceWhy burnout is usually a slow build, not a sudden crashThe importance of prioritizing presence at work and at homeHow guilt and resignation keep women stuckWhy moms should not feel forced to choose between career and family This conversation is a powerful reminder that balance is not something you achieve perfectly but something you feel when your life aligns with what matters most. About Rebecca:Rebecca Olson is an executive life coach, speaker, and host of the Ambitious and Balanced Working Moms Podcast. She helps high-achieving working moms create sustainable work-life balance without sacrificing their career ambitions or family presence.

I'm joined by Dr Sienna Olson, and honestly, this one goes everywhere it needs to go. We talk about strength training as identity, nervous system regulation for high performing women, and why so many of us are doing everything “right” but still feel exhausted and disconnected from our bodies.We also get into disordered eating, burnout, hormones, spirituality without bypassing the body, and what it actually looks like to lead yourself instead of fighting yourself. This is about performance and peace, science and soul, and learning to listen to your body instead of bullying it into submission.Highlights:(01:41) Why high achieving women feel burnt out even when they're doing all the right things(06:47) The hidden cost of extreme dieting and overtraining(17:06) Strength training as identity, not just aesthetics(22:40) Simple nervous system regulation that actually works(29:21) Spirituality without bypassing the body(38:47) Peptides, hype, healing and what to know before jumping inQualia Mind - click hereCoupon Code: SHOCKANDYALL (15% off any purchase)Visit Nicole's on demand fitness platform for live weekly classes and a recorded library of yoga, strength training, guided audio meditations and mobility (Kinstretch) classes, as well: https://www.sweatandstillness.comGrab Nicole's bestselling children's book and enter your email for A FREE GIFT: https://www.yolkedbook.comFind Nicole on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nicolesciacca/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thenicolesciaccaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/nicolesciaccayoga/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1X8PPWCQa2werd4unex1eAPractice yoga with Nicole in person in Santa Monica, CA at Aviator Nation Ride.

AI data centers are driving rapid demand growth, exposing the limits of traditional electricity forecasting and planning. --- Electricity demand in the United States is rising fast, fueled in large part by the rapid expansion of AI data centers. Grid operators have repeatedly revised their demand forecasts upward as they try to anticipate how much new power these facilities, along with other emerging loads such as advanced manufacturing and crypto mining, will require. In January, however, something unexpected happened. PJM Interconnection, the nation’s largest grid operator, lowered its demand growth outlook, just weeks after a capacity auction driven by expectations of booming demand produced record high prices. Estimating how much electricity new data centers and other large loads will actually add to the grid is difficult, and the uncertainty cuts both ways. Overestimating demand can leave consumers paying for grid infrastructure that never gets fully used. Underestimating it can threaten reliability. All of this is playing out as the rapid buildout of data centers is increasingly framed as a question of economic competitiveness and national security. On the podcast, Shana Ramirez and Arne Olson of Energy and Environmental Economics argue that while improving forecast accuracy remains important, uncertainty itself needs to play a more central role in how the grid is planned and governed. In a recent E3 paper, they lay out why demand forecasts will remain imperfect, and why grid rules and planning processes should be designed to work across a range of possible outcomes rather than relying on a single view of the future. Ramirez and Olson discuss the reliability and cost challenges this uncertainty creates and describe governance approaches that could help the power system remain reliable and affordable as new loads come online. Shana Ramirez is director, asset valuation and markets at E3. Arne Olson is a senior partner at E3.

Around the Big Ten with Jamie Mac Starts at 0:51 Indiana Football won a natty. We say again: Indiana Football won. A natty. The Ohio State fans are crying Signs, it's great! Putting this in context because there hasn't been a more surprising national champion in any sport? Maybe Leicester but IU had the worst W% historically of any champion. Arc of college football is the big schools consolidate their chances of winning—last time a new school entered the ring it was Florida, which represented a demographic shift. What does this mean? Not a secret sauce but IU built similarly to 2023 Michigan: a base of players who played together a long time and some elite pieces added. They get better ROI by ignoring HS recruiting, put a lot of time and money into scouting. Similarity to Dusty May in that Cig knows what he needs and scouts the hell out of the rest of the sport. [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]  2. Hot Takes and Men's Basketball vs Ohio State Starts at 27:20 Takes hotter than it's not outside. OSU game was annoyingly close. At one point Michigan was 2/16 from three and under 50% from the charity stripe. Biggest story of the game is the way Michigan held Bruce Thornton in check—the one hedge to center court that Mara got called for a foul was an awful call, but a proof of concept for how they defended OSU, which was to not give Thornton any space. Great Crisler crowd kept getting into highs and then a low-percentage event would derail, like their 17%-shooting big Christoph Tilly making a pair of threes (one a bank), 24%-shooting Amare Bynum making a deep contested jumper, and Mobley getting a bank three as shot clock is dying. Missed front ends made FT shooting feel extra annoying, somehow righted in the 2nd half. Big part of that was 21 good minutes from Trey McKenney. Liked Cason and McKenney more than Cadeau in this one: OSU has a 7'0" center and a 7'2" center but both of them are glued to the floor, which favors YOLO players. Annoying turnovers trying to figure out their zone. 3. Men's Basketball vs Indiana and a Nebraska Preview Starts at 54:03 Less annoying game, as Indiana was without Tayton Conerway for all but two minutes, and nobody else has the ability to get to the rim. IU couldn't even get the ball inside the three-point line. They finished 11/34 (32%) from three and that was because they made twice as many as they should have. IU only got five ORebs as they abandoned the glass to stop Michigan's transition game but terrible Nick Dorn shots that went off the back iron were their best way of getting the ball in the paint. Final score doesn't reflect the game because once Michigan got up 20-5 they put it in cruise control—this time it wasn't LJ Cason on the one drive for a layup. Will Tschetter's defense on Tucker DeVries was also a major factor. Nebrasketball is truly good. Very well-coached team, has a good system that turns everybody into Nebraska: 11th in taking threes, 6th in opponent 3PA/FGA. Have to slow down the game to protect stretch C Rienk Mask, who's the key to that offense. Might be without small four Braden Frager and been without SG Connor Essegian most of the year so there's a 23% shooting big in Berke "the Turk" Buyuktuncel that you can hide Mara on. The problem with that is it takes Mara out of the paint so you can't get away with playing as aggressively on the perimeter. Think we saw the prototype for how they want to play against Nebraska in that Oregon game. Might be able to do what Illinois did, was to take shots but then crash the glass because they don't have a lot of size. 4. Women's Basketball wsg Ira Weintraub Starts at 1:15:12 Time to get to know the best women's team in school history. Three losses were all similar: got way behind in the 1st quarter, fought their way back, came up short. Defense is fantastic, play the full court and cause a lot of turnovers which creates offensive opportunities. Get bogged down a bit in the half court and struggle to make their FTs. WBB officiating is beyond atrocious. Washington loss was a schedule thing after 2OT late game vs Oregon, but UConn and Vandy losses showed they can play with the elites and just need one more big basket from the super sophs. Hockeybear is blogging the team and making Team Sheets (key). It's not so easy is it? Super sophs: Holloway runs the offense and sets the defensive tone, Olson is a bucket, Swordsy is hero, and then they're getting a year from a growing Delfosse and UCLA transfer Dudley. Mostly a seven-woman rotation with Sofilkanich giving them some size inside, BQD a nightmare of a defensive pest, and then growth from Crockett who gives them some more size when they need it. Can they compete with the ELITE-elites? Nobody's unbeatable this year; Michigan is a solid two-seed, feel like floor is Sweet 16, has the make of a team that ends up losing a Final Four game en route to a big run next year.   MUSIC: "Getting Killed"—Geese "Forever Never Ends"—Jeff Tweedy "Downhill"—The Delivery Boys feat.

We talk about grace a lot — but do we actually understand it? For many of us, grace feels like the doorway into faith … yet something we quietly try to “maintain” through our own effort. What if God never intended you to earn what He freely gives?In today's episode, writer and Bible teacher Kristel Acevedo joins Meredith Brock and Kaley Olson for a deeply clarifying conversation about the kind of grace Scripture describes — the grace that saves us and keeps us. Through biblical teaching, real-life stories, and practical wisdom, Kristel helps us see why striving leaves us exhausted, how sanctification actually works, and why resting in God's unshakable love is the starting place for real spiritual transformation.If you're tired of trying to be “good enough,” wrestling with shame, or wondering whether you've used up all of God's patience, this episode will breathe fresh hope into your heart. Grace isn't a one-time gift. It's the ongoing work of God in you — today, tomorrow, and every day after.You'll learn:What Scripture means when it says we are saved by grace — and why that same grace is what transforms us daily.The difference between working for God's acceptance and living from your secure identity in Christ.How sanctification really happens, and why slowing down helps us recognize the Holy Spirit's work in us.Why sharing grace with others matters, and how God can use your life to draw people to Himself.Resources From This Episode:When life feels uncertain, God's promises are not.
