Today, Mike Erre, Tim Stafford, and super special guest host Suzie P. Lind open a serious conversation about spiritual abuse by reading Matthew 23 alongside current headlines of pastor misconduct and church corruption. The episode asks why Jesus' harshest words land on religious leaders, and what that reveals about abusive systems, hypocrisy, and the responsibility of shepherds.Suzie brings a crucial perspective as a pastor, elder, and woman in church leadership, helping widen the conversation beyond the usual assumptions. The discussion moves between biblical context, present-day church culture, and the personal work of examining how easily leaders can become what they condemn.The group walks through Matthew 23 and focuses on Jesus' repeated rebukes:hypocrisyburdening people without helpingstatus-seekingspiritual blindnessneglect of justice, mercy, and faithfulnessChapters:00:00 - Welcome back and introduction of Suzie P.

What's true of your heart and mind in the midst of clear and present danger? If fear and anxiety of the attempts and work of your enemies frequently knock at your door, desiring to dwell within, may this psalm both guide and comfort you. For Christ your Teacher doesn't leave you naive, but shows you the hatred the wicked have for you as His people. For Christ your Savior is your remedy to fear. Through the work of His Spirit, He's your exclusive guard and protector. He is your ally who is ready to enter the battlefield for your cause.

How long will the wicked rejoice in their wickedness? The scriptures assure us that it will not be forever. The creator of the ear hears, the maker of the eye sees. And he preserves his people from now until the day of justice.12-07-2026 - Stephen Chan

"Goldsmith's Friend Abroad Again" by Mark Twain is a sharp satire that critiques the United States' self-proclaimed identity as the "Home of the Oppressed," highlighting the stark reality of inequality faced by Chinese immigrants in 19th century San Francisco. Twain's unflinching exploration of injustice serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggles for equality and fair treatment that resonate today. The book exposes the hypocrisy of a society that prides itself on freedom while marginalizing entire communities. Its enduring themes of social justice and the quest for dignity make it a compelling listen for anyone interested in the complexities of American identity and the historical context of immigration.

LEARN MORE & REGISTER In this episode, Jesse Wolf Hardin sits down with Debora Greer for a thoughtful exploration of Makumba, an Afro-Indigenous spiritual tradition and philosophy of life that weaves together herbalism, ancestry, ritual, and relationship with the living world. Together, they discuss what Makumba is, why it has been so widely misunderstood, and how its teachings invite us into a deeper relationship with plants, nature, community, and healing.  They also explore the impact of colonization on our connection to the Earth, the importance of honoring our ancestors, and why Debora believes that "nature is our greatest ancestor." Whether you're an herbalist, naturalist, or simply curious about different ways of understanding our place within the web of life, this conversation invites you to slow down, listen deeply, and rediscover the wisdom of relationship. If you'd like to learn from Debora in person, she'll be teaching three classes at the 2026 Good Medicine Confluence: Herbal Showers and Baths: A Makumba Healing Tool, Rose & Thorns of Death and Despair: The Teachings of Grandma Buruku, and 7 Knives and 7 Chili Peppers: Exu Magic for the Protection of the Oppressed.  This audio was extracted from the video version available on the HerbRally YouTube channel.

Send us Fan MailWelcome to Rational Black Thought. I am your host, Neo Griot.This is Episode 289, released on July 4, 2026, and the title comes from “Kites” by N.E.R.D., Kendrick Lamar & M.I.A.:“Tuggin' on a string that's connected to a dream - Head-bussa, hittin' nothing, even if I gotta bleed.”That lyric is about commitment. It is about holding onto a vision even when the struggle is exhausting, even when the people standing in your way have more money, more influence, more institutions, and more weapons for distorting reality.Every generation has to decide whether the promises made in this country belong to everybody or only to the people powerful enough to define them.The Fourth of July is supposed to represent independence, self-government, and the refusal to submit to arbitrary power. But those ideals have never arrived automatically. They have always had to be fought for, expanded, defended, and dragged into reality by people the country initially tried to ignore.That is the work in front of us now.We are living through a period when facts are treated as optional, cruelty is marketed as strength, and people who want power without limits demand loyalty as though obedience were patriotism. But democracy does not belong to one party, one race, one religion, one court, or one man with a microphone.It belongs to the people willing to defend it.And sometimes defending it means holding onto a dream with blood on your hands, refusing to let go because the alternative is allowing people who do not believe in freedom to define it for the rest of us.Intro: Quote of the Week: Malcolm X Unmasking the News: Special 4th of July Story: What Is the Fourth of July to the Oppressed? Democracy Watch: A Federal Judge Slaps Trump's Hand in Mail-Voting Power Grab JD Vance, Mike Johnson, and the Fraud That Magically Disappears When Republicans Win Texas and Christian Nationalism: Bible Passages as Required Reading in School Good News: Harris-Stowe and the Infrastructure of Black Power Bible Study with an Atheist:  Did Jesus Fulfill the Old Testament, or Contradict It?

"I Watched CBC's Boys-Are-Falling-Behind Segment So You Don't Have To" — matching the YouTube title across platforms means search and word-of-mouth ("did you see/hear the boys-falling-behind episode") converge on one phrase instead of splitting discovery across two titles for the same episode.3. Show Notes / Episode DescriptionA CBC News segment spends twelve minutes building the case that boys are falling behind in school — dropout-rate stats, test-score gaps, a mother tearing up over swelling music — and never once names why. Gavin breaks down what the segment keeps gesturing at instead of saying outright: a school system built to produce factory labor, a "boy crisis" industry that profits from the problem staying unsolved, and a federal health strategy arriving right on schedule.In this episode:Why a 27.1% dropout rate for boys gets read as a school problem instead of an economic oneHow "boys build forts, girls keep tidy desks" became evidence in a national news storyWhy Trump's homoerotic He-Man photos and a federal "men and boys health strategy" are doing the same political workWhy the manosphere isn't the cause of the male loneliness epidemic — it's a symptom that turned out to be profitableWhat Henry Ford's factories have to do with how a gifted program decides which kids are worth investing inMentioned in this episode: Mark Fisher's Capitalist Realism, Ernest Becker's The Denial of Death, Jean Baudrillard's Simulacra and Simulation, Paulo Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed, Jonathan M. Metzl's Dying of Whiteness, and CBC The National's "Those We Leave Behind" report.Park Bench Ontology is a comedy and ideas show hosted by Juno-nominated comedian and Canadian Screen Award-winning writer Gavin Stephens.

In this episode of The Leadership Educator Podcast, Lauren and Dan talk with Dr. Kat Callahan and Dr. Sean Connable about New Directions for Student Leadership Issue 185, Pop Culture's Contributions to Leadership Development. The conversation explores how leadership educators can use pop culture as more than an attention-getter and instead treat it as a serious tool for examining storytelling, cultural values, identity, and leadership development. Listeners will hear examples from podcasts, sports, comic books, television, and other cultural spaces, along with practical ideas for helping students critically examine the stories that shape how society defines leadership.

This message challenges us to embrace the spiritual discipline of caring for the oppressed as a reflection of God's heart. Throughout Scripture, from Moses rescuing Israel to Jesus touching the leper, we see a God who notices the overlooked, moves toward the hurting, and restores the vulnerable. As followers of Christ, we are called to do the same. The question is personal: Who have we stopped seeing? Rather than looking away, we are invited to see others as image-bearers of God and allow the Holy Spirit to shape Christ's compassion in us. This week, ask God to show you one person to see, one person to move toward, and one person to serve.

Malini Johar Schueller unpacks critical race reading and the role of discomfort in the classroom on episode 625 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode Racism is a permanent structural feature of American society, and law alone, as now we have it, cannot deal with racism because racism is also part of law. -Malini Johar Schueller Critical race reading takes off from that, and it asks, is there a way of reading… that can awaken us to questions of racial privilege and hierarchy, but without us imagining that we have taken over somebody’s place? -Malini Johar Schueller Critical empathy, where you feel for others and you feel the injustice of others, but you also feel differently, you know, differently. -Malini Johar Schueller Some level of discomfort is fine for learning, because if learning doesn’t produce any kind of discomfort, you haven’t moved outside your zone of what you already know. -Malini Johar Schueller Resources Teaching Solidarity: Critical Race Reading, by Malini Johar Schueller Malini Johar Schueller’s personal site Kimberlé Crenshaw Patricia Williams Disparate treatment vs. disparate impact The 1619 Project Shoshana Felman Pedagogy of the Oppressed, by Paulo Freire Teaching to Transgress, by bell hooks Defy: The Power of Saying No in a World That Demands Yes, by Sunita Sah Jesse Stommel on Episode 320 Journey through infertility (Pudding, March 2026)

An essential guide to healing from oppression-based trauma, for everyone left outside of mainstream conversations There are many books on trauma healing that can change people's lives. Yet when queer and trans people, people of color, and all of us living at the margins look for books that reflect our own experiences and that specifically name the oppression we experience as trauma, we're left empty-handed.

You'll understand just how and why trauma that occurs in our earliest days can affect us throughout our lives. You'll learn to embrace your Internal Family, making yourself whole. In Healing the Oppressed Body, Andrea Gutiérrez-Glik lovingly offers us the best, most radical solutions to tap into our sources of healing. Along the way, you'll discover tools and techniques for emotional regulation and therapeutic modalities to heal from oppression-based trauma. Whether inside the therapy room or on your own, in the pages of Healing the Oppressed Body, you'll learn how to heal through growing compassion for all parts of yourself and others, finding community support and love, and celebrating the freedom to be your true self.Andrea Gutiérrez-Glik, LCSW, is a psychotherapist specializing in treating OCD, cPTSD, and PTSD, prioritizing women, survivors, and queer and trans folks.

On today's podcast, we deal with the oppression that was released last week as we contended for a breakthrough.  If you have been experiencing this emotion, today's podcast will be a help and strength to you to move forward.  

The privilege of adding another drop of prayer to the bowl in heaven.

In a world that profits from your confusion, real clarity is an act of rebellion. Today we're sitting down with a man who has spent his life in the arena (as a soldier, a statesman, and a straight-talker) to cut through the noise on masculinity, truth, and what it actually means to be free, Nick Freitas. We're talking logical fallacies, the Marxist oppressor/oppressed framework, and why so many men today are disgusted, deflated, and dangerously close to giving up. But this episode isn't a pity party, it's a plan of attack. We're going to talk about why masculinity is under assault, how to stop painting yourself as a victim, and why there is no virtue in suffering, only in overcoming it. If you're ready to trade your grievances for a mission and your excuses for a legacy, this one's for you.

Has the US government and foreign press genuinely argued that slaughtering people is the best way to free them from oppression? The Jerusalem Post seems to think so in relation to Gaza. The Pentagon and others seem to think this is a valid argument in Iran as well. With the President bragging about his new bunker under the White House, and with the releasing of a photo implicating the pressing of a red nuclear button, on top of the Vice President being positioned as a manager of the chaos and threatening nuclear-suicide-vest bombers from Iran, the whole thing starts to feel like Vault Tech's plan from Fallout - personally drop the bomb, or create the optics of it (then blame Iran). This of course, is on top of foreign agents claiming their enemies are about to attack the United States and cause 10 times more damage than 911, precisely the general number given by the vice president when he claimed that Iranians were going to detonate a nuclear vest in an American city. And Karoline Leavitt claiming the country was founded on Judeo-Chrisitanity is about as ridiculous as claiming Luciferian Masons founded the same. This is part of a broader religious propaganda, which clearly is stemming from an angry, emotional, sacrificial, tribal God that has replaced the concept of the one true God in America.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth. – Isaiah 53:7

Monique and Kevin break down the Jamal Bryant Target boycott controversy and the embarrassing backtrack that followed. They expose the long history of race hustling in the black community — where leaders weaponize grievances for personal gain instead of promoting real solutions. There is no system holding you back. It's your choices, your culture, and your priorities. Real flourishing comes from personal responsibility, not begging corporations or clinging to outdated victim narratives.

Isaiah 51:1–2 instructs us to, "Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you." In this episode, David and Jo Ann Seely unpack their article "The Ten Tests of Abraham and Sarah," uncovering how Abraham and Sarah emerge as models of covenant discipleship. The Seelys explore how these tests developed in scriptural commentary, highlight Sarah's often-overlooked trials, and discuss connections to the Book of Abraham. From this episode, we can gain a deeper understanding of how ancient traditions can illuminate the covenant path and enrich our own discipleship.
