Podcasts about Oppression

Dan's first tale this week is wild. What if you brought some type of demonic presence home from a vacation and it ended up possessing your neighbor, and then your demonically possessed neighbor than attacked you? We head to Ireland for that one. And then, we'll take a quick trip to Australia to hear about a supposedly haunted, and deadly, body of water known as the Devil's Pool. Lynze has all over the map this week both geographically and spoopily! We begin in Nigeria where a family uncovers a possible curse in their home. Then we find ourselves in Chile where Mormon missionaries battle a demon. Lastly, the hat man shows up and this time, he brings his friends. Bad Magic Giving Tree Info:For seven years now, we have been hosting the Bad Magic Giving Tree. This is a project so near and dear to my (Lynze) heart. I have been on both sides of a holiday giving tree.

One reason that Solomon was called wise is that he did not ignore the reality of evil in the world.He acknowledged it and lamented it. In a world where overwhelming evil threatens to overcomeus, we are called to overcome evil with good (Romans 12:21). Jesus was relentless in doinggood: saving, rescuing, forgiving, healing, etc. So let us not grow weary of doing good, for indue season we will reap, if we do not give up (Galatians 6:9).Take-Home Message: Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.Do not be overcome by…- The Evil of Oppression (1-3).  - Overcome Evil with…   - The Good of Biblical Justice.- The Evil of Selfish Ambition (4-12).   - Three Approaches to Work      - The Competitive Workaholic (4)      - The Impoverished Sluggard (5)      - The Contented Laborer (6)    - Overcome Evil with…       - The Good of Biblical Community.- The Evil of Stubbornness (13-16).   - Overcome Evil with…        - The Good of Biblical Humility.

Coping can keep us alive — but it also can come at a terrible cost. In this Believe Black People episode, Ama-Robin shares a personal story of survival coping, connects it to the weight that we as Black people have carried for generations, and names the truth: resilience is not permission, and survival is not freedom. Together, we'll move from survival coping to empowered personal and collective coping. You'll hear truth-telling, an empowering meditation, and practical steps to release the burdens we were never meant to carry. Because coping is not consent. And you ain't imagining this.

In chapter 8, Solomon is going to unpack for us a topic that he has already addressed before when he discussed oppression under the sun. Oppression, of course, is a cold, hard reality of life. When given authority over others, people often use it to harm those under them. In today's text Solomon will give us wisdom so we know how to navigate life under those who have such authority over us. He will also teach us about obedience and living with joy. Let get to it...

Dear listeners,I pray this message reaches you in good health and with a heart full of blessings. May these verses of the Qur'an bring light to your heart and warmth to your soul. I hope they inspire you to pause, reflect, and reevaluate your journey in life.Storytelling is one of the most powerful ways our minds and hearts make sense of the world, of ourselves, and of those around us. At times, life feels overwhelming — and that's okay. In those moments, return to the Qur'an. Read or listen to a few verses in Arabic or English, and allow everything else to fade away for a while. Let the rhythm of Allah's words touch your heart and soul, for truly every part of us — even every cell — testifies to the Oneness of God.As your life coach in this podcast, we will reflect together, using the Qur'an as our guide. Through our daily du‘a, we strengthen one another and ask Allah to fill our hearts with His love and shower us with His blessings, so that we may always remain grateful. Alhamdulillah.Now, let us reflect: What life lessons can we apply from Surah 28, Al-Qasas (The Story)?

On September 10th Charlie Kirk was killed in broad daylight on a college campus in Utah by the alleged assassin Tyler Robinson. Another casualty of the woke war on the West. An insidious revolt that many Christians have a hard time wrapping their minds around, which is why this edition of Hank Unplugged is dedicated to summarizing the issue at hand in memorable fashion via the word W–O–K–E.   “W” representing the word Worldview. Students, particularly in the West, are being propagandized by a WOKE WORLDVIEW. Charlie Kirk was committed to dismantling the absurdities of this paradigm in polite and principled public discussion.   “O” will serve to remind us of the word “Oppression.” The woke West seems intractably bent on taking the Marxist oppressor/oppressed maxim to unthinkable extremes. Their objective is to liberate an entire generation from such perceived oppressions as cis-gender normativity, and from the oppression of what is perceived to be arbitrary moral law.   “K” — I use the letter “K” to emblazon upon our collective consciousness that Kids — your kids, my kids, are a primary target of leftist woke revolutionaries. Charlie Kirk recognized this reality and, as such, became the enticing target for an assassin's bullet.   “E” serves to remind you and me of Extremism. Extremism in Education, Environmentalism, and in Entertainment.   The murder of Charlie Kirk is emblematic of the woke worldview war being waged against you, your children, and against the very soul of Western Civilization. Charlie Kirk, may your memory be eternal.  For more information on the WOKE Worldview, please see “The War on Western Civilization: Everything You Need to Know about the Cult of Wokeism“. https://www.equip.org/product/special-issue-of-the-christian-research-journal-titled-the-war-on-western-civilization-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-cult-of-wokeism/ Listen to Hank's podcast and follow Hank off the grid where he is joined by some of the brightest minds discussing topics you care about.

In episode 72, Allyson chats with psychiatric nurse practitioner and lived experience advocate, Grace Kim PMHNP-BC, about the contradictions of psychiatry, as well as what psychiatry in eating disorder care can look like. There is so much (understandable) skepticism when it comes to psychiatric medications, how can we hold both the ways that it can be useful and life saving, as well as the ways it can create more harm and distress? You'll hear us cover:Care vs. Control in Psychiatry Science vs. Subjectivity in PsychiatryLiberation vs. Oppression in PsychiatryMedication Supports for Eating DisordersHow to hold client skepticism through an anti-oppression lensGrace's personal experience with EDs, Korean beauty standards and psychiatric support.About our guest:Grace Kim, PMHNP-BC (she/her) is a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner offering virtual and in-person care for adults across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Her practice is grounded in a collaborative, trauma-informed approach that recognizes healing is often non-linear and actively rejects coercive models of care. She specializes in mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, identity exploration, and disordered eating, providing comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive therapy.

Today I sit with Octavia Etheridge giving us her debut Sci-Fi Thriller The Matriarch-Liberty's Freedom from Wise Acre Comics. Liberty is an Ex-Marine imprisoned for killing the man who murdered her sister, or so she thought. Octavia described the books as having elements of Kill Bill, The Matrix, Handmaids Tale, and Fast and the Furious. The world Liberty lives in separation between men and women, between misogyny, crime, and an imbalance of power there lies no peace. Men have chosen to retrieve power through human trafficking and creating a new breed of men through abduction. Liberty and a special ops team reluctantly meet at the wrong place, but at the right time as her recruitment to the Code- a special government task force may be her only way to stay out of prison and make a change in this world.Written by Octavia Etheridge and Philip OdieteArt by Victor DrujininColors by King BolaLetters by LetterSquidDistributed by Wise Acre Comics Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-faqs-project-hosted-by-james-grandmaster-faqs-boyce/donations

In Episode 181 of The Alan Sanders Show, Alan explores the human condition through the lens of history, literature, and modern politics, revealing how oppression sparks rebellion. From Spartacus' uprising against Rome to the French Revolution's guillotines, the repressed have always risen against their oppressors. Drawing parallels to Shakespeare's Macbeth and Princess Leia's defiance in Star Wars, Alan shows how dehumanization fuels resistance. In the wake of Charlie Kirk's tragic assassination on September 10, 2025, conservatives are pushing back against the Left's censorship and cancel culture, ushering in an era of accountability culture. Join Alan as he honors Kirk's legacy and examines why the tighter the grip, the fiercer the rebellion. Tune in for a powerful reflection on freedom, justice, and the unyielding spirit of those who refuse to be silenced.

Come As You Are Series - MatthewMatthew 9:9 “As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man called Matthew sitting in the tax collector's office; and He said to him, “Follow Me!” And he got up and followed Him.”Before watching the chosen series, I didn't understand why it was so unusual for Jesus to choose Matthew. I knew the Jewish people did not like tax collectors, but I didn't realize just how much the Jewish people hated them. I also didn't realize how hard it was for a Jewish person to take that job. I didn't know that their entire family would disown them, and all the Jewish people would dislike them.When you watch The Chosen, a series about the life of Jesus, you can see how hard it was for Matthew and how hard it was for his family. In this series, Matthew didn't really seem to understand why his family was so upset. To him, it was a job and one he was very well suited for. He was very good with numbers and someone needed to collect the taxes. It paid very well and he was able to afford nice things. He wanted to share those things with his family and to help his family out.However, his family wanted nothing to do with that money and nothing to do with him. There were several reasons why the Jewish people hated the tax collectors. Here are five of them.1. They Worked for the Romans. Israel was under Roman occupation, which many Jews saw as a constant reminder that they were not free. Tax collectors were Jewish people who collaborated with the Roman government to collect taxes from their own people. Many Jews saw this as betrayal — essentially siding with the oppressor.2. They Collected More Than Required. Tax collectors often used a system called tax farming: they paid Rome a set amount upfront for the right to collect taxes, and then charged people more than what Rome required in order to profit. This meant they were often greedy and corrupt, getting rich at the expense of their fellow Jews.3. They Were Considered Ritually Unclean. Because they worked closely with Gentiles (Romans) and handled money with images of Caesar on it (which some Jews considered idolatrous), they were considered ceremonially unclean and unable to fully participate in religious life. They were lumped in with “sinners” in society — seen as spiritually dirty and morally compromised.4. They Contributed to Oppression. Paying Roman taxes meant funding Rome's army and empire — which included pagan temples and the oppression of Jewish people. Tax collectors were seen as helping the enemy, adding to the suffering of their own nation.5. They Represented Injustice. Many people were already living in poverty, and tax burdens could be crushing. Tax collectors were the face of that injustice, the ones knocking on doors, demanding payment, and sometimes taking people's property.As you can see, this opinion of tax collectors went a lot deeper than just the fact that they were upset they had to pay taxes to a ruler they didn't believe in, and they didn't really have that money. There were a lot of reasons why the tax collectors were mistrusted, disliked, and in many cases, hated.This is why it is so shocking that Jesus chose Matthew to be one of His 12 chosen apostles. In the show, you can see that the other apostles don't understand Jesus's choice and don't really want to spend time with Matthew. However, they all come around in the end. They all learn to trust that Jesus has a plan, and they get to know Matthew, not for what he does, but for who he is.The same is true for you. You might have a job that people don't understand, or you might be doing things that go against God and all He wants for us, and yet God decides He is going to choose you to follow Him. Other people might not understand this. They might think you are the last person who should be doing this, and they may tell you that. It's ok. It doesn't matter what others think. What matters is that God has told you. God is calling each one of us. He is calling us to follow Him, and He is calling us to something greater as well. He is not calling us each to the same thing, but I promise God has placed a calling on your life, and He is just waiting for you to come to Him and ask Him what this calling is.It may be something He is putting on your heart to do immediately, and it may be something that He is calling you to in the future. Either way, ask Him to tell you all about it. Ask Him to prepare you for it. Ask Him to equip you for it. This series is called Come As You Are because that is precisely what God wants from us. Just say yes, right where we are. He doesn't want us to change first. He wants us to come to Him just as we are, and then He will change us in the most beautiful way!God didn't tell Matthew to find a new job, repent of all his sins, and then come and follow Him. He saw him at work and said Follow Me! and Matthew did. Imagine the courage and trust it must have taken Matthew to walk away from everything he knew to follow Jesus. Imagine how hard it must have been to not give two weeks' notice, not give his boss a heads up, just to stand up and leave all he knew for a life full of unknowns.One thing that amazes me about all those to whom Jesus said, “Follow Me.” They never asked any questions. It doesn't say that Matthew stopped and asked Jesus a bunch of questions. It just says that He said Follow Me, and Matthew got up and followed Him. Matthew 4:18-22 says, “Now as Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon, who was called Peter, and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. And He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of people.” Immediately, they left their nets and followed Him. Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James, the son of Zebedee, and his brotherJohn, in the boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets; and He called them. Immediately, they left the boat and their father and followed Him.”Do you see how, at least in these two instances, Jesus said Follow Me and they just followed Him. There were no questions like, For how long? How much will we be paid? What about our families? What about our bills? What should we take with us? I feel like I would have a ton of questions, and they immediately left their nets and followed Him.”God did not ask any of these people to change before they followed Him. Were they all perfect men? No, I am sure they were not. Did they have their own issues and problems? Yes, I am sure they did. Yet Jesus didn't care. He knew everything about them, and He still called them. He knew all of their flaws, all of their sins. He knew what was in their hearts, and He still called them. He is calling you, too!He is calling you with all of your sins. He is calling you with all of your imperfections. He is calling you with your addictions and with your hangups. He is calling you even though you aren't sure what He is calling you to. He is calling you even though you have a thousand questions. He is calling you just as you are. So, go ahead and say yes. Say yes, you will follow Him wherever He leads you. Say yes, you will follow Him and allow Him to change you. Say yes, now, not after you change, because let's be honest, without Him, there is no changing.Dear Heavenly Father, I ask that you bless all those listening to this episode today. Lord, you are amazing. You call us even though we are not perfect, and we are so grateful. Lord, please help us to hear that call. Help us to believe you want us just as we are and that you will help us to be the person you created us to be. Help us to say yes to the call you are placing on our lives, even if we don't know what that call is or everything it entails. Helps us trust, Lord. We love you, and we ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus's holy name, Amen!Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus.

In this conversation, disability advocate, artist, and author Jayne Mattingly joins Dr. Marianne to explore body grief: the very real mourning that happens when your body, health, or identity do not match the life you imagined. Jayne traces how she coined the term from years of counseling work in eating disorders and body image, and from her own shift into disability after sudden illness and 19 brain and spine surgeries. Together, we unpack how ableism, intersectionality, and systemic oppression shape what we grieve about our bodies and how we heal. You will hear practical ways to name body grief, honor it, and build community care that creates room for joy, creativity, and resistance. This episode covers body grief, disability advocacy, chronic pain, eating disorders, antifat bias, medical dismissal, grief phases, and neurodivergent-affirming, sensory-attuned care. We discuss how ableism and overlapping identities influence recovery, why harm reduction and community care matter, and practical tools for regulation, access planning, and self-advocacy. CONTENT CAUTION We discuss medical trauma, dismissal in healthcare, chronic pain, disability, diet culture, and systemic oppression. Please listen with care and pause when needed. WHAT WE COVER What “body grief” means and why naming it matters How eating disorders can function as regulation and why recovery can feel like loss Jayne's personal story of sudden illness, surgeries, vision loss, and becoming a wheelchair user Everyday ableism and why language like “non-disabled” helps decenter harmful norms The seven phases Jayne observes in body grief and how people move through them Dismissal in medical settings, internalized dismissal, and how to advocate for yourself Why body grief grows inside systems of racism, antifat bias, sexism, homophobia, and ageism Neurodivergence, disability, and how a more accessible world would change the grief we carry Community care, harm reduction, and finding light without forcing a tidy destination KEY TAKEAWAYS Body grief is universal. We all live in bodies that change. Naming the grief opens space for honesty, compassion, and skills. Oppression intensifies grief. Systems teach us which bodies are “acceptable.” Healing includes unlearning those messages and changing the conditions around us. Hope and grief can coexist. Progress is nonlinear. You can move in and out of phases and still build a meaningful life. Language matters. Shifting to terms like “non-disabled” helps challenge ableist defaults. Community care is protective. Healing grows when we practice access, mutual support, and self-advocacy together. FAVORITE MOMENTS Jayne on seeing ableism inside “love your body for what it can do” messages and why that left disabled people out The dismissal chapter story that shows how easily young people internalize “you're fine” when they are not fine “If you design for disabled people first, everyone benefits.” Body grief as a unifier that crosses political lines through storytelling and clear psychoeducation PRACTICAL TOOLS MENTIONED Name your current phase of body grief and set one tiny supportive action for today Track dismissal patterns you have internalized and write one replacement script for your next appointment Build a personal access plan: sensory needs, mobility needs, communication needs, and who can help Use harm-reduction mindset for recovery work and daily life Create a small “joy and regulation” list that is available on hard days ABOUT JAYNE Jayne Mattingly is a nationally recognized disability advocate, body image speaker, and author of This Is Body Grief.

The book of Exodus is a foundational story about becoming God's people. Picking up where Genesis left off, it shows how God's faithfulness persists despite Pharaoh's increasing oppression and calls us to become faithful resisters like Shiphrah and Puah who courageously chose to fear God rather than earthly powers.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Support our mission to teach every verse of the Bible on video over the next 23 years. Read more about it here: PROJECT23 Our text today is Judges 1:34-36: The Amorites pressed the people of Dan back into the hill country, for they did not allow them to come down to the plain. The Amorites persisted in dwelling in Mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim, but the hand of the house of Joseph rested heavily on them, and they became subject to forced labor. And the border of the Amorites ran from the ascent of Akrabbim, from Sela and upward. — Judges 1:34-36 We've watched a slow unraveling through this chapter. One tribe compromises, then another, until Israel's momentum is gone—and by verse 34, the tide has turned. The Amorites are now pressing back. The people of Dan aren't advancing, they're retreating. They've been pushed into the hills, confined, controlled. The very enemies they were told to conquer are now conquering them. This is what happens when we stop obeying. We lose ground. Spiritually. Emotionally. Culturally. The authority we once carried gets handed over to the very things we were called to defeat. And while Joseph's house exerts some control—forcing the Amorites into labor—it's too little, too late. The enemy still has territory. The borders are redrawn. And God is silent. It's sobering. But it's not hopeless. God lets us feel the weight of disobedience. Not to punish us, but to draw us back. The pain of retreat is often the catalyst for repentance. Sometimes, God allows the enemy to press in and remind us what it feels like to live without him leading. He doesn't abandon us. He stops enabling our passivity. So, my friend, where have you given ground? Where have you stopped fighting, and the enemy's started pressing? It's not too late. But the time is now. Reclaim what you've surrendered. Step back into obedience. Let God lead again. ASK THIS: Where have I lost spiritual ground by compromising? What enemy have I allowed to reclaim territory in my life? How have I mistaken God's silence for absence? What step of obedience can help me reclaim that ground today? DO THIS: Name one area where you've let sin take the lead—and today, take one bold action to take it back. PRAY THIS: Father, I've given ground I was meant to guard. Give me the strength to stand again and reclaim what's Yours. Amen PLAY THIS: "The Stand."

What do the powerful do? Ecclesiastes 4:1–3 looks forward to the call to worship in public worship on the coming Lord's Day. In these three verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that, under the sun, the powerful oppress. The devotional grapples with the painful reality of oppression and injustice observed under the sun, acknowledging the seemingly unanswered suffering of the oppressed and the power wielded by their oppressors. Drawing from Ecclesiastes 4 and Psalm 73, it emphasizes that true comfort and resolution to this difficulty are found not in earthly circumstances, but in a relationship with God through worship. The speaker ultimately offers hope, asserting that while oppression is a grievous evil, it is not the final word because God is a comforter and redeemer, offering a solution that transcends the limitations of this world and urging listeners to hate oppression without despairing, knowing that God reigns and will ultimately destroy wickedness.

Synopsis:  Is Authoritarianism Here?: Gessen and Stanley discuss the shift in America's self-understanding, from democratic ideals to a self-identity based on loving the US for its past greatness, and warn that this is not a democratic project, but rather a fascist one, similar to what Putin is doing in Russia.Stay informed and engaged! Please hit the podcast subscribe button if you've yet to subscribe.Description: What will it take to reject fascism, before it's too late? Masha Gessen and Jason Stanley are two leading experts on autocracy, and they're sounding the alarm. They and their families have escaped totalitarian regimes and oppressive governments; today Gessen and Stanley are pulling back the curtain on the attacks against DEI, trans bodies, civil rights, higher education and more. Is authoritarianism here? Masha Gessen is an acclaimed Russian-American journalist, a Polk Award winning opinion writer for the New York Times and the author of "Surviving Autocracy" and “The Future is History: How Totalitarianism Reclaimed Russia.” Forced to leave Russia twice, in 2024, a Moscow court convicted them, in absentia to eight years in prison for their reporting on the war in Ukraine. Jason Stanley is a best-selling author and professor whose books include “Erasing History” and "How Fascism Works". He recently left his teaching position at Yale University to relocate to Canada with his family; noting that he is a child of Jewish refugees who fled Nazi Germany. In this historic conversation — the first interview between Gessen and Stanley — the two explore how to be bold in our movements and envision a multi-ethnic democracy. Plus, a commentary from Laura.“Trump has proposed a revived empire, a return to an imaginary past. The Democrats have proposed the way things are now, which are deeply unsatisfying and horribly anxiety provoking for a very large number of people. So we need a vision of a future that is more appealing than the imaginary past.” - Masha Gessen“What I see now is this regime shifting the self understanding of America, from having these democratic ideals . . . God knows they've been imperfect, to a self identity as loving the United States because we've had these great men in our past, and we've conquered the West, and we can punch you in the nose. And that's not a democratic project. That's like what Putin is doing in Russia.” - Jason Stanley• Masha Gessen: Opinion Columnist, The New York Times; Author, Surviving Autocracy; Distinguished Professor, Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism, CUNY• Jason Stanley: Author, Erasing History & How Fascism Works; Professor, Munk School of Global Affairs, University of Toronto Music Credit: “America” by Sylvan Paul, courtesy of Wolf+Lamb Records.  "Steppin" by Podington Bear.

Join us as we come together with listeners around the world to encounter God's Word, be reminded of His love, and carry that love into our day. Absolutely! Here are 10 thoughtful discussion questions based on this episode of the Daily Radio Bible: The episode opens by saying that the Scriptures bear witness to Jesus rather than being life in themselves. What does this perspective mean to you, and how might it change the way you read the Bible? Nahum's prophecy against Nineveh comes 100 to 150 years after Jonah's. How does the contrasting message between these two prophets reflect God's justice and mercy? In what ways did Nahum emphasize both God's power and his goodness? How do you see these two aspects of God in your own life? The description of Nineveh's fall is vivid and devastating. Why do you think the Bible includes such detailed imagery when depicting the consequences of turning away from God? Jesus' statement in John 5:39, "You study the Scriptures diligently... yet the Scriptures point to me," is highlighted in the episode. What are the risks of focusing on religious rules without embracing the person of Jesus? The host mentions that some people missed God's love because they were consumed with control, rules, and judgment. What are some modern-day examples of missing God's love in similar ways? How does Jesus' healing at the pool of Bethesda challenge the religious leaders' views on the Sabbath? What message do you think Jesus was trying to convey through this act? The prayers at the end of the episode emphasize being instruments of peace, forgiveness, and love. How can these prayers inspire the way you interact with others today? The episode encourages listeners to recognize God's love already present in their hearts. What practices or habits can help you become more aware of God's love in your everyday life? Reflecting on today's readings and the discussion, how can you move from simply knowing about God to truly experiencing and living in God's love? Feel free to use these for group discussion or personal reflection! Absolutely! Here's a comprehensive sequence of topics covered in this episode of the Daily Radio Bible podcast, with sub-topics nested under each main heading for clarity: 1. Welcome and Purpose of Gathering Host introduction (Heather) Daily tradition of coming together around the Scriptures The Scriptures point to Jesus, the source of life Prayer for Holy Spirit's illumination and encouragement 2.

You will not see goodness when it comes, you won't because your eyes are on the trauma.” Hear more about Susie's battle against life's curveballs when you tune in to the full episode. You can also check out Susie's first episode with us as a guest in Season 3 Episode 2.[19:01] The Recipe for VitalitySusie emphasizes that she has gained more in Christ and highlights the importance of thinking rightly about God to receive His blessings.Living in self-preservation prevents us from experiencing God's miracles and goodness; we must work on our hearts to receive His answers.Deep rest in purposeful faith is vital for soul replenishment and engaging in our faith restores peace.[26:53] Learning From The Past's MistakesScripture invites us to remember God's work and trust Him with our lives, avoiding self-preservation despite fears.Recognizing God's daily mercies and expressing perpetual awe for His kindness can strengthen and restore our souls. [30:44] Susie: “His mercy is what covers us time and time again. We should be in perpetual awe of the kindness of God, the mercies of God. It's because of His great love we are not consumed. His compassions never fail, his mercies are new every morning.”The Israelites were quick to forget God's care for them and were quick to turn away from Him because of fear. Susie also battled fear her whole life. However, she learned to face them through God's strength.[33:00] The Power of Words and DeclarationsFaith declarations are our statement of who God is, that God loves us and will fulfill His promises to us.Brain retraining is meant to help us identify ourselves as sons and daughters of God.Both of these practices help interrupt rogue thoughts by being spoken aloud. Speak your declarations over your life especially those that resonate with you.[39:07] Slaying Your Inner CriticUnresolved hurts and self-contempt create opportunities for the enemy; resolving them in God's love closes these openings.Seek support to process unresolved hurts in the light of God's love and trust the Holy Spirit to guide and correct them.[40:37] Susie: “When you allow those hurts, those hard parts of your story to go unresolved in light of God's love, they're like open loops and they're opportunities for the enemy to accuse God and accuse you.”[43:24] Imprinting Your Hope, Faith, and Belief in God in Your HeartSusie is always striving to get closer to God. Recently, she attended a conference with Dr. Reimer. The conference became a safe space to bring out these unresolved pasts into God's light.Despite new traumas, remembering God's love and focusing on Him allows us to see through the enemy's lies.Keep your hope alive and you'll eventually learn how to let go of past trauma. Remember who God is, trust that He is good and that He loves you.About SusieSusie Larson is an author, speaker, and host of the popular radio show, Susie Larson Live.

In today's turbulent global political landscape, relationships between the people, organized groups and the state is shaped by interactions frought with compromise, confrontation, containment, and control. This week's moment of confrontation between state representatives of South Africa and the United States provide opportunities to examine where unresolved historical trauma, structural inequality, and ideological warfare define terrains of struggle in the Contemporary World System.South African President Ramaphosa's recent US visit saw a propaganda assault from the U.S. President featuring inaccurate and unintentionally ironic uses of images from anti-Apartheid era cultural and political struggles as well as current struggles in the Democratic Republic of Congo which highlight continuing instances of state violence and neocolonial entanglements. While white nationalist in both South Africa and the United States continue to enjoy racially-engendered economic status advantage, a small Black managerial elite in both countries thrives as the majority in both countries either remain impoverished or are threatened with even more economic marginality. Oppression reflected in populist movements like South Africa's Economic Freedom Fighters and the US's Repairers of the Breach afford another opportunity to compare efforts of social confrontation and political compromise. As Trump repeated lies about South Africa, the United States moved another step toward its own political and economic reckoning. The Trump-deployed “Project 2025,” spearheaded by Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought and others, took more steps in its efforts to entrench extreme wealth inequality while seeing other efforts to advance a white Christian theocracy fail at an increasingly besieged US Supreme Court. The propaganda-labeled “Big Beautiful Bill” passed by the US House of Representatives is a blueprint for dismantling democratic safeguards and weaponizing the state to favor corporate and white nationalist interests. As has always been the case, this moment demands intellectual warfare, legal resistance, and community-based institution-building. The people must decide: compromise, confront, contain—or control.JOIN KNARRATIVE: https://www.knarrative.com it's the only way to get into #Knubia, where these classes areheld live with a live chat.To shop Go to:TheGlobalMajorityMore from us:Knarrative Twitter: https://twitter.com/knarrative_Knarrative Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/knarrative/In Class with Carr Twitter: https://twitter.com/inclasswithcarrSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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.

What happens when a witch renounces her past and all hell breaks loose, literally? In this jaw-dropping interview, returning guest Shannon, recounts how her family's descent into chaos began after receiving an innocent-looking book...that unleashed a demonic nightmare. From bizarre sleep paralysis and terrifying visions to her five-year-old becoming tormented by an unseen force, Shannon shares how occult remnants gave dark entities a foothold in their home. But what came next, deliverance, healing, and spiritual warfare, is just the beginning of her story. Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.
