What do you do when doing the right thing still brings opposition? In 1 Peter 3, Peter shows believers how to keep doing good when faithfulness becomes costly. Summary Peter teaches believers that following Jesus means continuing to do good even when it leads to opposition or misunderstanding. Through examples of marriage, relationships, and everyday interactions, he shows that Christlike character has greater influence than control or argument. Rather than retaliating, Christians are called to bless others, respond with grace, and live lives that naturally invite questions about their hope. Peter reminds believers that their greatest witness is often their transformed life before it is their spoken defense. Finally, he points to the victorious Christ, whose suffering, resurrection, and reign give believers confidence to remain faithful no matter the cost. Reflection & Small Group Discussion Questions 1. Who are you trying to influence right now, and are you relying more on character or control? 2. Why do you think Peter begins this chapter with character instead of arguments? 3. In what relationship do you most need to "respond better than you've been treated"? 4. How has our culture shaped your instinct to retaliate when you're hurt? 5. What does it practically mean to bless someone who has wronged you? 6. If someone observed your life for a month, what would make them curious about your faith? 7. What kind of hope do people currently see in your life? 8. Whose opinion has too much influence over your emotions right now? 9. How does Christ's victory free you from needing everyone's approval? 10. What is one practical way you can keep doing good this week, even if it costs you?

Bruce & Gaydos ask if it is possible in this day and age to forego data centers. They also discuss movie theater etiquette.

Hi Everyone! I'm happy to announce a big change ahead. I've accepted a call to serve as the new priest at Church of the Nativity in San Rafael, CA. While my wife and I take the next month to make a cross-country move, A Land Called Homily will be revisiting some of it's most listened to episodes like this one from the Feast of the Presentation of Jesus 2025 entitled "A Sign that will be Opposed." The first episode of the podcast from Nativity will be posted on Monday, the 21st of September. Until then, we invite you to follow the adventure! Visit www.davidchatel.com or www.nativityonthehill.org to learn more.

Today, it's not about a celebrity. It's not about the latest headline. It's about the battle for truth in a culture obsessed with comfort—where cancel culture rules and Darwin's theory reigns supreme.Paul M. Neuberger throws down the gauntlet on evolution versus creation. He questions not just the science—but the worldview. He challenges the narrative. He risks ridicule. He invites debate. He draws a line in the sand: “Are we accidents… or are we intentionally crafted by an Almighty God?”And for that? He may be dismissed. Laughed at. Opposed. But the truth doesn't bow. Jesus is still Lord. The evidence still points to the Creator.So what will YOU do when the world says, “Stay quiet, Christian?” Will you stand up—or blend in? The clock is ticking. Buckle up. This one's going to be raw, real, and rooted in truth.“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” –Genesis 1:1Episode Highlights23:49 - Personally, the deeper I study the remarkable complexity of living systems, the more convinced I become that they ultimately point beyond chemistry alone. Not because science has proved God, but because the evidence continues pointing me toward an intelligent creator whose fingerprints are clearly visible all throughout the living world.37:06 - It's a conversation about who we are, why we're here, whether our lives have objective meaning, whether good and evil truly exist, whether there's a creator to whom we are ultimately accountable. Those questions matter way more than winning an intellectual debate, and I'm not trying to do that today, because how you answer them shapes every single decision that you're going to make.42:23 - Our God is the author of truth. We never have to fear honest investigation because genuine truth will never contradict the God who created all things. Scripture says this in Colossians 1:16-17: For in him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible. All things have been created through him and for him.Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite

Stern brings both an educator and parent perspective as he explains how phones, apps, games, and school-issued devices can create compulsion, distraction, and an attention crisis for students. The conversation also explores whether AI is truly essential for students right now, the risks of cognitive offloading, and why adults need to understand the tools before giving young people broad access. Stern uses the “autopilot” analogy to explain why students need the ability to think, troubleshoot, and problem-solve before they lean on AI shortcuts. They also discuss privacy, equity, brain atrophy, transparent AI use, and how schools and parents can work together by sharing clearer information about what students can access on school devices and how they are using technology.

Serhii Plokhy explains that Anastas Mikoyan emerged as a voice of reason, having opposed the missiles from the start. As the U.S. blockade began, Khrushchev ordered missile-carrying ships to turn back, though one ship with nuclear warheads was ordered to proceed. Washington remained dangerously unaware of Soviet submarines armed with nuclear torpedoes and the true number of Soviet troops on the island. Kennedy privately admitted he felt he had "no choice" but to act, partly fearing impeachment. Dean Rusk famously noted that the Soviets "blinked" when their ships finally stopped. (5)1920

St Louis City Alderman Rasheen Aldridge (Ward 14) joins Chris and Amy. The Mayor and St Louis BOA Chair have co-sponsored a bill that would allocate Rams settlement funds throughout the city.

Chased. Opposed. Misunderstood. Beaten. These are the realities Paul, Barnabus, and the early church faced as they went on mission with Jesus, spreading the Gospel. Their call and courage to face all they faced came from hearts that were captured by Jesus, and because of that, people were transformed. It makes me wonder if I have too much to lose to be on mission with Jesus. Am I treasuring something more than I treasure the Gospel? What has my heart, really? How can I ensure my heart is capture by Christ more than anything else?

We wrap up the first group of episodes in our Reconsidered Leader series--bringing the theoretical to a close and opening up with Scripture for grouping #2.  Here, we look into the modern philosophical assumptions regarding leadership, whose flagship ideas belong to Hobbes and Nietzsche. Opposed to both is the Christian understanding of peace and prayer, and this consideration of "warring factions" brings our theoretical section to a fitting end. With a summer sabbatical on order, we will be on break from the Reconsidered Leader, but will pick back up with part 2 in July! Iowa Catholic Radio Network Shows:Be Not Afraid with Fr.

“For Jefferson, Hamilton is not a hated enemy to be opposed or destroyed, but a respected adversary to be debated with. And that is the spirit we have to get back to today.” — Jeffrey Rosen Jeffrey Rosen is one of the most respected constitutional scholars in America — CEO Emeritus of the National Constitution Center, professor of law at George Washington University Law School, contributing editor at The Atlantic, and the author of nine books, including the New York Times bestsellers The Pursuit of Happiness and The Pursuit of Liberty. In this conversation, Rosen traces the Hamilton–Jefferson rivalry from the founding era to the Roberts Court, asks whether the current administration looks more like Caesar or Andrew Jackson, makes the case that deep reading may be the last best hope for democracy, and previews his forthcoming biography of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. It is the kind of conversation that reminds you what civic discourse, at its best, can actually look like.

Rosen frames the central question about the current administration: is this a Caesar who subverts the separation of powers and rules by whim rather than law, or a Jackson-style populist who attacks elites and large institutions but ultimately operates within the constitutional system? The distinction, Rosen argues, matters enormously. The Hamilton–Jefferson divide is still very much alive. The debate between liberal and strict construction of the Constitution did not begin with originalism. It began with the bank. Hamilton argued Congress could imply powers beyond what's enumerated; Jefferson said no. John Marshall sided with Hamilton, and that fault line runs directly through today's Supreme Court. The pursuit of happiness meant something very different to the Founders. For Jefferson, Madison, and their classical sources, happiness was not about feeling good. It was about being good — cultivating temperance, prudence, courage, and justice, and using reason to moderate unproductive emotions like anger, envy, and fear. Social media is Madison's nightmare. Madison designed a system of deliberative slowness. Social media's “enraged to engage” business model is the precise opposite. Rosen adds that AI compounds the problem by presenting a single probabilistic version of truth rather than fostering the clash of competing ideas that the Enlightenment depended on. Brandeis offers a way out of the left–right impasse. Suspicious of both big government and big business, and committed to industrial democracy and worker ownership, Louis Brandeis remains the historical figure who most persuasively bridges the divide between libertarians and progressives. Opposed in life as in death. Hamilton and Jefferson spent careers savaging each other. Yet after Hamilton's death, Jefferson placed a bust of Hamilton across from his own at Monticello. That image — honored adversaries, not enemies — is the model Rosen believes the country desperately needs to recover. About Our Guest Jeffrey Rosen is President and CEO Emeritus of the National Constitution Center, a professor of law at George Washington University Law School, and a contributing editor at The Atlantic. He is the author of nine books, including The Pursuit of Happiness, The Pursuit of Liberty, and Louis D. Brandeis: American Prophet. His essays and commentary have appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, The New Republic, and on NPR. He also served as an advisor for Ken Burns' The American Revolution on PBS.

Brianna Wu is a transwoman and a passionate Democrat who wants people with gender dysphoria to be protected from discrimination and given access to sex reassignment medical treatments. But only if this treatment has proper safeguards, and is never offered to children. To achieve this compromise – a centrist position, Brianna argues – trans activists must get their house in order by marginalising the misogynists and the fetishists who have taken over the movement. Today we discussed whether this is really possible. Is there a future in which trans activism is not at odds with feminism? Or is the backlash against this movement already too entrenched?

Full Text of Readings Monday of the Fourth Week of Easter Lectionary: 279 The Saint of the day is Saint Louis Mary Grignion de Montfort Saint Louis Mary Grignion de Montfort's Story Louis's life is inseparable from his efforts to promote genuine devotion to Mary, the mother of Jesus and mother of the Church. Totus tuus (“completely yours”) was Louis's personal motto; Pope John Paul II chose it as his episcopal motto. Born in the Breton village of Montfort, close to Rennes, France, as an adult Saint Louis Mary Grignion de Montfort identified himself by the place of his baptism instead of his family name, Grignion. After being educated by the Jesuits and the Sulpicians, he was ordained a diocesan priest in 1700. Soon he began preaching parish missions throughout western France. His years of ministering to the poor prompted him to travel and live very simply, sometimes getting him into trouble with Church authorities. In his preaching, which attracted thousands of people back to the faith, Father Louis recommended frequent, even daily, Holy Communion—not the custom then!—and imitation of the Virgin Mary's ongoing acceptance of God's will for her life. Saint Louis Mary Grignion de Montfort founded the Missionaries of the Company of Mary, for priests and brothers, and the Daughters of Wisdom, who cared especially for the sick. His book True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin has become a classic explanation of Marian devotion. Saint Louis Mary Grignion de Montfort died in Saint-Laurent-sur-Sèvre, where a basilica has been erected in his honor. He was canonized in 1947, and his liturgical feast is celebrated on April 28. Reflection Like Mary, Saint Louis Mary Grignion de Montfort experienced challenges in his efforts to follow Jesus. Opposed at times in his preaching and in his other ministries, Louis knew with Saint Paul, “Neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who causes the growth” (1 Corinthians 3:7). Any attempt to succeed by worldly standards runs the risk of betraying the Good News of Jesus. Mary is “the first and most perfect disciple,” as the late Sulpician Father Raymond Brown described her.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Last week, California Democrats killed CalCare, a proposed single-payer health care bill. Will the state ever achieve its dream of universal health care?  Tom Steyer — a gubernatorial candidate who ran ads against single-payer health care in 2020 — says he is now the Golden State's best bet. He also wants higher taxes for the rich, stronger environmental protections, and the abolition of ICE. The catch? He's a billionaire running a self-financed campaign.  Today on Lever Time, David Sirota sits down with Tom Steyer, a former hedge fund manager turned philanthropist, to discuss the collapse of Rep. Eric Swalwell's (D-Calif.) campaign, whether billionaires are a policy failure, and the chaotic governor's race that has left Republicans leading in the polls.

Marshall Harris and Mark Grote were joined by Herb Howard of The Bigs to discuss the latest Bears storylines as the start of the NFL Draft looms Thursday.

Portland city councilors are discussing a proposal that would raise take-home pay for Uber and Lyft drivers by limiting how much money the companies can take from each trip. Councilors are considering a limit of 20% for the portion that Uber and Lyft can take from a driver. Currently, the amount isn’t fixed, and can sometimes be over40%.   Uber and Lyft have threatened to leave Portland over the proposal. Uber claims it would force the company to raise its rates or operate at a loss for most rides.   The Portland Metro Chamber and the “We Play for Portland” Coalition, which includes the Portland Trail Blazers, the Oregon Symphony, Portland Art Museum and other Portland sports and arts organizations are opposed to the city council's draft proposal. The groups warned city council in a letter they released that if rideshare companies decrease their services or leave Portland, it could greatly affect audience turnout at Portland events.   We hear from Councilor Elana Pirtle-Guinea, as well as Jon Isaacs, the Executive Vice President of Public Affairs for the Portland Metro Chamber of Commerce, about the draft proposal and what it could mean for the future of rideshare services in Portland.

Title: Opposed but Joyful Preacher: Mark Dever Series: The Church Begins Passage: Acts 5:1-42

Guest: Professor Richard Carwardine. Carwardine explains that President-elect Lincoln did not view Republicans as overly aggressive, positioning himself as a constitution-respecting centrist rather than a radical. Lincoln opposed slavery's expansion but acknowledged its constitutional protection where it already existed, believing the South was misled by elites and would eventually return to the Union. Ironically, Lincoln and Buchanan, though political opposites, worshiped at the same Washington church, sharing an old-school Presbyterian background.1861 ST. MICHAEL'S, CHARLESTON SOUTH CAROLINA
