Originally released for Patrons on Sep 26, 2024 In this episode, Hallie dives into the web of social factors that likely drove the Salem Witch trials. The bewitched girls, called the afflicted, were from one faction in town, while the accused were from another. Is this a coincidence? Probably not.

Our guest on today's show is Nathan Poirier and we discuss veganarchism. Nathan Poirier is an independent scholar-activist who has edited or authored books that span topics like critical animal studies, veganarchism, non/human coexistence, and a forthcoming two-volume A6 set on black anarchism. Nathan is an ambassador for the Office of Empowerment (essentially the DEI organization) at Lansing Community College where Nathan is a full time math tutor. Nathan enjoys bringing people and causes together so that individuals can constructively challenge each other socially and intellectually to create a better world for all. It is Nathan's continuous goal to push their own boundaries as well as others' in terms of how critical, radical thought relates to everyday life. Preferring to be somewhat of an intellectual "jack of all trades", Nathan does not consider themselves an expert in anything and primarily hops between topics of intellectual inquiry (and back again) trying to learn a little bit of everything. This orientation fits in with and helped lead to their theorizing veganism and anarchism as the same thing - and together as a theory of everything.

As we rapidly approach another enormous milestone — our 100th episode (currently #98) we've e-x-p-a-n-d-e-d our global footprint to 131 countries.ONLY through your unyielding support could this achievement have been realized. Thank you!Immigration is a “3rd rail” hot topic in the U.S. The issues of immigration decided the '24 presidential election. At his core, whether you like to hear it or not, Donald Trump is a xenophobic segregationist that truly makes the former four-time Governor of Alabama, George Wallace, appear to be benign, benevolent and innocent like a choir boy.On this explosive episode, we'll investigate:— Trump's hatred towards immigrants in a country full of immigrants.— The GEO Group (a private prison firm that has received significant negative press regarding its operations and alleged shady business practices) and the Trump administration; and— The Trump administration's stance on immigration, which has been widely criticized for its negative impacts on children of immigrant parents, including documented, undocumented, and US-citizen children.Here's how these policies have reportedly caused harm:Increased Fear and Anxiety:— Family Separation: The "zero-tolerance" policy, in particular, involved separating thousands of children from their parents at the border, a practice widely condemned for its traumatic effects. This policy has led to long-term harm, with many children still not reunited with their parents years later.— Fear of Deportation: The threat of deportation and increased immigration enforcement created pervasive fear and distress among children and their families, regardless of legal status. This fear led to children worrying about separation from parents and potentially having to leave their communities.— Toxic Stress: Exposure to this chronic fear and uncertainty has helped to cause "toxic stress" in young children, potentially altering brain development and negatively influencing their physical, cognitive, and emotional well-being. This can have lifelong consequences, impacting their ability to cope with adversity and achieve future success.— As well as bans and bars to badly needed health care services, means of preventing food insecurity and essential care and support.In the U.S. the “corporation” has always been “king” – where large corporations and big financial donors hold significant influence and power to shape government policies and societal structures. The Trump administration is notorious for pampering its “friends” and attempting to punish its enemies and those who would dare to hold him and the administration accountable.Republicans, including Trump, initially criticized the use of the CBP One app, particularly as it was used under the Biden administration, to facilitate asylum appointments at the border. They argued that the app enabled unauthorized immigration and was an abuse of parole. Now, they swear by it and have embraced and rebranded its core functionalities into CBP Home, focusing on incentivizing voluntary departure as a tool for immigration enforcement.A 360◦, hypocritical move that only MAGA Republicans have perfected.As we celebrate Independence Day (2025) we now have a king. The Supreme Court has paved the way for this, by a string of decisions that subvert the judiciary, undermining the integrity, independence, and effectiveness of the court system. Its actions have directly challenged the judiciary's ability to operate impartially and fairly, potentially leading to a complete breakdown of the rule of law.Tune in for all of the explosive details.Without fear or favor we follow the facts and tackle the topics that touch your lives.Follow our sponsors: Newsly & Feedspot.We want to hear from you!

Modern culture says equality means splitting everything 50/50.But what if that's not just inefficient—it's actually unwise? In this unapologetic episode of The Impossible Life, Nick and Garrett tackle one of their most controversial convictions yet:A clearly defined division of labor in the home isn't outdated—it's divine.Rooted in experience, principle, and biblical design, this conversation will challenge how you think about roles, parenting, identity, and the way you build your family life. If you're tired of shallow slogans and want to raise strong kids with a Kingdom vision—this one is for you.
In this episode of Arise and Abide, Sally and Curtis reflect on Isaiah 9:8–21, a sobering passage that contrasts the hope of the Messiah with the harsh consequences of pride and rebellion. As Israel responds to ruin with arrogance and self-reliance, God allows them to face the fallout of their choices. Sally and Curtis explore how the wildfire of sin spreads when hearts resist repentance, and how God's judgment is ultimately aimed at awakening His people to return to Him. Through honest conversation, they share how true repentance and humility lead us away from destruction and into the abundant life found in following Jesus.

We live in a culture that glorifies the grind, where every moment must be productive and every silence filled. But what if our constant busyness isn't just exhausting—what if it's actually keeping us from the life we want? This conversation explores how margin and attention have become revolutionary acts in a world designed to overwhelm us. Drawing from ancient wisdom and modern realities, Trevor examines how taking time to notice—whether it's a burning bush or your partner's words—can fundamentally shift how we experience life. He unpacks why slowing down isn't laziness but resistance, and how creating space for ourselves and others might be the most subversive thing we can do. If you're tired of feeling scattered, rushing from one thing to the next, or missing the moments that matter most, this episode offers a different way forward—one that starts with the simple act of turning aside.
Intro:Good morning! Matt Flummer teaches today on a challenging, crucial topic: justice. In our Proverbs series, we'll explore biblical justice, contrasting it with secular views to find profound clarity.Scripture References: Proverbs 1:1-3, 17:23, 29:4, James 2:1-4, Proverbs 18:5, 24:23-24, Isaiah 5:20, Proverbs 11:1, 20:10, 16:8, 16:11, 28:16, Leviticus 19:35-36, Proverbs 6:10-11, 10:4, 13:18, 13:23, 14:21, 14:31, 19:17, 21:26, 31:8-9, Deuteronomy 10:18, Isaiah 1:17, Jeremiah 21:11-12, Proverbs 21:3, Micah 6:8, Romans 3:10-26Key Points:Defining Justice: Proverbs links justice (Mishpat) and righteousness (Sadech) as inseparable. Secular views often split, focusing on either fairness/equity or freedom/individualism.Injustice in Proverbs:Bribery (Prov 17:23): Using influence for personal gain, treating people as means.Partiality to Wicked (Prov 18:5): Refusing to confront evil within one's "team" for perceived unity.Justice in Proverbs:Business Dealings (Prov 11:1): Fair measures, honest gain, opposing dishonest practices.Treatment of the Poor: Poverty is complex—caused by laziness/foolishness (Prov 6:10-11) AND injustice/oppression (Prov 13:23). Proverbs commands radical generosity regardless of cause (Prov 14:21), honoring God. We must also defend the oppressed (Prov 31:8-9), as God aligns with the vulnerable. Jesus himself identified with the poor.Three Takeaways:"I and my things are not my own." Our wealth is God's and partly for the poor (gleaning laws). We are stewards; be radically generous.Corporate & Individual Responsibility. Bible shows both: families/nations accountable for others' sins, but also individual accountability before God. Hold both truths.Justice Linked to Worship. Justice is giving each their due, including God. "To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice" (Prov 21:3).The Way of Justice: Through the Cross:"No one is righteous" (Rom 3:10). We can't be just on our own.God's righteousness is manifested through faith in Jesus (Rom 3:21-26). He is both just and our justifier. The cross is ultimate justice.Conclusion:We can't achieve justice alone. Trust Jesus, who is just and justifies us. Practicing justice pleases God, made possible by Him.Call to Action:At worship, ask the Spirit to reveal injustice in your life (e.g., treating people as means). Submit to Jesus. The communion table symbolizes His ultimate act of justice. Come and receive His body broken and blood shed for you. Support the show*Summaries and transcripts are generated using AI.

Exodus chapter 1 opens the second book of the Bible with a dramatic shift in Israel's story. After the death of Joseph and his generation, a new Pharaoh rises in Egypt who does not remember Joseph's contributions. Seeing the Israelites multiply and thrive, the king grows fearful of their numbers and influence. In response, he enslaves them, subjecting them to harsh labor, and sets out to suppress their population growth. Yet, despite the oppression, the more the Israelites are afflicted, the more they multiply and spread. Pharaoh then commands the Hebrew midwives, Shiphrah and Puah, to kill all newborn Hebrew boys, but they courageously disobey, fearing God more than the king. As a result, God blesses them with families of their own. Finally, Pharaoh intensifies his cruelty by commanding all his people to throw every Hebrew baby boy into the Nile River—setting the stage for the dramatic birth of Moses in the following chapter. Themes in Exodus 1: •The resilience of God's people under oppression •The fear of man vs. the fear of God •The unfolding need for a deliverer •God's quiet providence in dark times #Exodus1 #BibleStudy #HebrewDeliverance #RiseOfMoses #GodOurDeliverer #FaithOverFear #BiblicalHistory #ScriptureTruth #FreedomInGod #GodSeesInSecret #SendMeRadio #OppressionToPromise #FearGodNotMan #BibleChapters #OldTestamentTruthBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.
Diverse Voices Book Review host Hopeton Hay interviewed Ivy Pochoda, author of ECSTASY. Based on a Greek tragedy by Euripides, Pochoda explained how she wanted to address difficult truths about female oppression and marital patriarchy. As described on her website, "Ecstasy is a riveting, darkly poetic, one-sitting read about empowerment, desire, and what happens when women reject the roles set out for them."

In this episode, Oden talks to Sasha Yaropolskaya, a Russian revolutionary trans activist and immigrant in France, about the rightward shift on LGBTQ+ rights. They discuss what it means to be at the end of the era of progressive neoliberalism, and how decades of pursuing a strategy of lesser evilism has led to betrayal for the oppressed. But LGBTQ+ people are not powerless in the face of these attacks. The antidote is working-class unity and revolutionary politics to overcome the Right's divisive tactics. It means building up a working-class party with an internationalist, socialist perspective, able to fight exploitation and all oppression. Sasha is organized in Revolution Permanente (Left Voice's sister group) and its feminist and LGBT group, Du Pain et Des Roses. Listen to our previous episode about the fight for trans rights.

In this raw and powerful episode of Miguel and Holly Uncensored: Sunday Sessions, Miguel sits down with his friend Rafael, who shares what it was like growing up under an oppressive government in Venezuela while navigating life as a gay man. Rafael opens up about the fear he lived with, the heartbreaking decision to leave his home country, and the overwhelming relief he felt when he finally arrived in the U.S. Now, as America faces its own challenges with immigration and human rights, Rafael offers a perspective we all need to hear. One filled with caution, clarity, and ultimately, hope. This isn't just a story about politics. It's a story about what it means to be free.

We are now being actively downloaded in 131 countries!We continue our intense focus on how the Rule of law and democracy are being endangered.Democracy hangs in the balance and is under constant daily attack — threatened on every front.What better example than the current Department of Justice (DOJ) ordering its civil rights division to halt the majority of its functions, including a freeze on pursuing any:— new cases— indictments or— consent decree settlements.For civil rights this is a crisis! It has only been 59 years since the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was passed. This was a landmark piece of legislation that helped to dismantle many discriminatory barriers and enforce the voting rights of African Americans. Imagine having that office shut down during the LBJ Administration! The KKK would have won!In a democracy, the majority can wield immense power, potentially leading to the suppression of dissenting voices and the marginalization of minority groups.You had better begin to ask yourself the tough question:Are you okay with your civil rights being suspended until 2028 and maybe beyond?White people, too, can have their civil rights violated. Are you ready for that?Will the police be able to simply continue to brutalize people and get away with it as the Louisiana State Police did on May 10th, 2019, with Ronald Greene?Greene was an unarmed 49-year-old black man who, on a dark night in Monroe, Louisiana, 6 members of the LSP “goon squad” tazed, punched, kicked, pepper sprayed, and dragged face down on the concrete, only to place him in a chokehold until he died.Good night and good luck! Under this current Trump administration your civil rights will be “enforced” like his were.We are staring in the face of “soft despotism" or "soft tyranny".This occurs when a powerful, centralized state, while not overtly oppressive, gradually takes over the responsibilities and decision-making of individuals and communities.The state becomes like a benevolent but overbearing parent, providing for citizens' needs and ensuring their well-being, but in doing so, it diminishes their capacity for independent thought and action. We've arrived there, stop fooling yourself otherwise.We'll discuss and analyze the current push from the ultra-conservative-talk-show host, Ben Shapiro to petition the adjudicated felon Donald Trump to federally pardon Derek Chauvin, the felon, former police officer — who drove his knee into the neck of George Floyd for more than 9 minutes, hastening his death on May 25th, 2020.We have passed the 5-year mark of this deadly encounter on the streets in Minneapolis, MN and tell me, what has changed for the better?Shapiro clearly sees this as an opportunity to continue to support his white, racist agenda as it gins up his base of white nationalist followers. MAGA-folk and beyond!We ask out loud:Could a president do that?What would it matter, since Chauvin also is in prison on state charges?And we'll wrap things up looking at what happens to democracy when police regularly brutalize its citizens as the “politics of policing” has changed drastically since George Floyd's' death.The truth is under attack! The truth is worth defending!Tune in for all of the explosive details.Justice comes to those that fight, not those that cry!Without fear or favor we follow the facts and tackle the topics that touch your lives.Follow our sponsors: Newsly & Feedspot.We want to hear from you!
Phillis Wheatley, the first published African American poet, used biblical themes to persuade believers in Jesus to abolish slavery. Born around 1753 in western Africa, Wheatley was sold to a slave trader at only seven years of age. Quicky distinguishing herself as a remarkable student, she finally secured her emancipation in 1773. In her poems and correspondence, Wheatley pressed her readers to embrace the Scriptural affirmation of the equality of all people. She wrote, “In every human Breast, God has implanted a Principle, which we call Love of Freedom; It is impatient of Oppression, and pants for Deliverance; and . . . the same Principle lives in us.” Equality before God is a truth emphasized by Paul when he wrote, “There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ” (Galatians 3:28). Because we’re “all children of God through faith” (v. 26), differences such as race, ethnicity, gender, or social status shouldn’t lead to discrimination in the church. Even as equal recipients of God’s love, we still struggle to live out this principle. But Scripture teaches that diverse peoples united through faith in Christ best reflects God’s heart and is His plan for life in eternity. That reality can help us to celebrate the diversity in our communities of faith now.
Welcome back to The Freaky Deaky! Tonight, we're stepping into the shadows of a topic that's haunted humanity for centuries—demonic possession. Not the Hollywood version with spinning heads and green pea soup, but the real, unsettling accounts whispered in church records, scribbled in diaries, and debated by priests, skeptics, and scholars alike. We're breaking it down into four stages: Infestation, Oppression, Obsession, and Possession. These aren't just spooky stories—they're a roadmap of how some believe a malevolent force creeps into a life, starting with whispers in the walls and ending with a battle for the body itself. First, there's Infestation—think unexplained knocks, foul stenches, a sense that something's watching. Then Oppression hits, grinding you down with exhaustion and nightmares. Obsession follows, hijacking your thoughts with darkness you can't shake. And finally, Possession—where the entity takes the wheel, turning your body into its puppet. We've got four true tales tonight, pulled from dusty archives and firsthand accounts. Are these demons real, or just the mind cracking under pressure? Can you really go from free to demon possessed in 4 easy steps? You decide.

We see righteous Muslims praying, fasting, and following the Sunnah — yet when disasters strike, they're not spared. Floods sweep away families. Earthquakes crush entire neighbourhoods. Oppression increases. And even those who stayed obedient to Allah suffer alongside others. Why does Allah's punishment descend on a whole community — even when there are righteous people among them? In this episode of Ad-Daa wa Ad-Dawaa, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan explains Imam Ibn al-Qayyim's deep insight into collective punishment. Backed by Quran, Sunnah, and the words of the Salaf, the lesson explores why staying silent in the face of sin… may cost us all. Watch now. The reason might be closer to your life — and your silence — than you think.

What does God's rescue of the Israelites from Egypt have to do with your healing from trauma or spiritual abuse? In this live episode, we explore how the Exodus wasn't just about escape—it was about transformation. God's first command to His people after slavery was to rest. Why? Because He was teaching them to live as sons, not slaves. If you've come out of a controlling, legalistic, or abusive environment, this truth can change everything. Join us as we unpack the deep connection between Sabbath, identity, and healing in Christ.
