Then, after touching on other legal news from the week, Leah speaks with former Governor of North Carolina—and current Senate candidate—Roy Cooper about the Court's gutting of election law and what he'll do about it when he's elected.

Donald Trump wants the American people to be depressed, despondent, defeated, and ultimately disengaged. But We The People MUST NOT accommodate him in that regard. There are so many ways to engage in this fight for American democracy, not all of which are intuitive. But there is a new book that provides a compelling, practical, and layman-friendly blueprint for how to fight against Trump's tyranny . . . and win, titled, "Ordinary People, Extraordinary Times, How to Reclaim Your Power, Fight for Freedom, and Reimagine Democracy." Skye Perryman, President and CEO of Democracy Forward, has authored a timely, must read how-to guide for defending democracy. Skye makes the case that defending democracy isn't the job of lawyers or politicians alone - it's a role for every one of us. This from Skye: "I started writing this book when it became undeniably clear, as our history also teaches, that it is not our institutions that will save us - not the courts, not corporate generosity, not the universities, not the media - but it is the people."

John is joined by Democracy Forward CEO Skye Perryman to discuss Donald Trump, Todd Blanche, and the threats they pose to America's elections and the rule of law. Perryman explains why, for all Trump's talk about federalizing or even canceling the midterms, he has no legal authority to do anything of the kind; why Blanche is such a dangerous deviation from past Attorneys General; and the lasting damage being done to the Justice Department by Trump 2.0. She also talks about her new book, “Ordinary People, Extraordinary Times: How to Reclaim Your Power, Fight for Freedom, and Reimagine Democracy,” which lays out practical steps citizens can take to beat back the authoritarian tide.

Skye Perryman on reclaiming our power ahead of the midterms In this episode of The Margin, a special midterm election series from The Electorette and URL Media, Jen Taylor-Skinner speaks with Skye Perryman, president and CEO of Democracy Forward and author of Ordinary People, Extraordinary Times. Perryman discusses the erosion of democratic guardrails, why Americans need “information sobriety” in an overwhelming news environment, and what history teaches us about the power of ordinary people to protect and expand democracy. With the midterms approaching, she explains why voting matters—but why the work of defending democracy cannot begin or end on Election Day. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this one-off episode I step away from our usual focus on trained emergency responders to explore what happens when ordinary people find themselves inside somebody else's worst moment and choose to act. Through documented stories involving burning buildings, aircraft crashes, freezing water, terrorist attacks, wartime rescue networks and mass evacuations, I examine courage, initiative, sacrifice and the difficult line between bravery and recklessness. This is not an encouragement to take unnecessary risks, but a reminder that agency, leadership and meaningful action are not owned by rank, uniform or authority and that even the smallest decision to notice, speak up or step forward can change the direction of another person's life. Access all episodes, documents, GIVEAWAYS & debriefs HEREPodcast Apparel, Hoodies, Flags, Mugs HERE Please check out our Partners supporting this episode areWilliam Wood Watches - Discount code FFPODCAST gives the user 10% off full range on websitePBI high-performance fabrics GORE-TEX Professional ClothingMSA The Safety CompanyJAFCOSend us Fan MailSupport the show***The views expressed in this episode are those of the individual speakers.

Growing up in western Kenya, Alvin Andanje learned that a community is built not only through shared geography, but through shared responsibility. In this episode of Walk Talk Listen, Alvin reflects on a childhood where neighbours cared for one another, where faith was expressed through everyday acts of kindness, and where the idea that "a child belongs to the community" shaped his understanding of life. Those early experiences continue to influence his work today, leading him to believe that lasting development is built as much on relationships, dignity and social capital as it is on infrastructure. Along the way, he shares moving stories about his family, the challenges surrounding his older brother's illness, the remarkable origin of his family name, and why he has "always had this fascination about how ordinary people create extraordinary change."   Today, Alvin serves as the Africa Regional Coordinator at the Joint Learning Initiative on Faith and Local Communities (JLI), where he also leads Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning (MEAL) for the Faith and Positive Change for Children initiative. With experience spanning more than twenty countries, he has contributed to research and learning on climate justice, peacebuilding, gender equality, vaccine uptake and the role of faith communities in development. During our conversation, he also reflects on the influence of the late Dr. Agnes Abuom, whose integrity and refusal to take shortcuts continue to shape his own leadership. Throughout this conversation, Alvin reminds us that extraordinary change often begins with ordinary people who choose to care, to serve and to walk alongside others.   Listener Engagement: Learn more about Alvin and his work via his LinkedIn or the JLI website.

Kaya naman, pakiramdam natin hindi na tayo karapat-dapat magkaroon ng bagong chance.Pero hindi ganoon ang Diyos. Kilala Niya ang ating kahinaan at tinatanggap pa rin Niya tayo. Ang mga failures natin, kaya Niyang gawing fresh start at bahagi ng mas malaking purpose Niya.ABOUT THIS MESSAGESpeaker: Peter Tan-Chi Jr.Series: Ordinary People, Extraordinary GodScripture: Acts 13:13; Acts 15:36–39; 2 Timothy 4:11Watch the full message here: https://go.ccf.org.ph/08092026Tag

Our new series, Everyday Prayers for Ordinary People, begins with the most famous prayer in history: the Lord's Prayer. Discover how Jesus invites ordinary people into a life of consistent, powerful prayer rooted in relationship rather than perfect words.

This week Pastor Darrin continues his series on ordinary people who God did extraordinary things through. 

Esther rose to become queen from just an ordinary Jewish woman. Then she was placed in an extraordinary situation. Was she raised for "such a time as this?" Join Pastor Dwayne as he takes us to the story of Esther and a deeper look as to why God used this ordinary Jewish woman to interceed for the entire nation of Israel.

Ordinary People. Acts of God. What if the hardest moments in our lives aren't just about what God wants to do in us, but what He wants to do through us? In Acts 16, Paul and Silas find themselves beaten, imprisoned, and chained, yet they choose to pray and worship. Their faith becomes a witness to everyone watching, including a jailer whose life is forever changed.In this episode of the Sharing Grace Podcast, we explore what it looks like to trust God when our circumstances don't make sense and remember that sometimes, it's not about you. It's about what God is doing through you.

“Send Coach John a message”I saw this reminder yesterday and I wanted to share it with you today. I've shared this before, both on my podcasts but also as a teacher. I shared Coach Jimmy Valvano's (Coach Jimmy V) lessons and speeches with my students for many years. This short clip reminds us that ordinary people accomplish extraordinary things. All throughout history this has been true.  You don't have to be born a special person to do great things.  It's not all about having millions of “followers” or being an “influencer”.  Remember, we all influence others every single day - we especially influence ourselves!  That's why as I've always shared one of what I think is many of life's lessons - always look to keep getting better. Be a life-long learner every single day of your life!  Self Improvement & Personal Development are two of the best things we can always do in life!  Click HERE for the link and / or simply search for his videos.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

It's time to answer His call and build those relationships. #divineappointments #FaithJourney #SpiritualGrowth #GodsPlan #ChristianLiving

Ryan Hawk arrived at Miami University the day after high school graduation, with a plan to earn the starting quarterback job and make it to the NFL. Two years later, a 6'5" kid from somewhere in Ohio showed up and took the job away from him. That kid turned out to be Ben Roethlisberger. What Ryan did with that moment became the entire foundation of The Learning Leader podcast, one of the most respected leadership shows in the country, and his new book The Price of Becoming. He joins Joe and OG to talk about the habits, frameworks, and daily actions that compound into something exceptional -- and what to do when the plan doesn't survive contact with reality.What You'll Walk Away WithCoach Hepp's three-sentence leadership philosophy that Ryan has never forgotten: have a plan, work the plan, and plan for the unexpectedWhy being told "he gives us a better chance to win than you do" was the most valuable coaching Ryan ever received -- and what it teaches about adding value versus wanting creditThe imitate-then-innovate framework: why The Beatles were a cover band first, why Wayne Gretzky took handwritten notes watching players smaller than himself, and why copying the greats isn't theft -- it's the fastest path to finding your own voiceRyan's first draft pick for becoming exceptional: a five-to-ten minute nightly prompt exercise built around one Charlie Munger question that compounds like a great investmentWhy truth tellers -- people willing to look you in the eye and tell you what you need to hear rather than what you want to hear -- are the most underrated asset in any high performer's lifeThe superpower Ryan has found in every great leader he's interviewed across 11 years and hundreds of conversations: deep, specific curiosity -- and why it's the ultimate form of showing loveSweat more than you watch other people sweat: Scott Galloway's physical discipline framework applied to every area of lifeThe Brock Purdy late-round pick: why bringing a notebook to every meeting -- something almost no intern or young employee does -- is the single easiest way to stand out and learn fasterThe boomerang kids debate: why nearly half of Americans under 30 now live with a parent, when OG thinks it's a great idea, when he thinks you suck, and why it only works if there's a real plan with a real end dateJames from the community: how retiring at 52 let him become his daughter's bank in a hot real estate market -- loan document, market rate, free labor but zero say in the houseWhy This Matters NowThe gap between people who become exceptional and people who almost do isn't talent -- it's the daily actions they're willing to stack. This episode is the practical blueprint for what those actions actually look like.From the BasementRyan Hawk joins Joe and OG to talk about getting benched, the imitate-then-innovate path from cover band to original voice, and the five draft picks that build a great life -- including one that Joe immediately connects to hiding money from himself. The Wall Street Journal's piece on boomerang kids gives OG a platform to explain exactly when it's smart, when it's lazy, and why his kids should not take this as an invitation. Doug arrives with Cleveland trivia and the story of how a newspaper's cheap typesetting permanently changed the name of a major American city. James from the community sends a letter that makes OG quietly admit he was wrong about the appraisal.Resources MentionedThe Price of Becoming: The Compounding Practices of High Performance by Ryan Hawk -- available wherever books are soldThe Learning Leader podcast -- Ryan Hawk; available wherever you listen to podcasts; learningleader.comSteal Like an Artist by Austin Kleon -- referenced for the imitate-then-innovate frameworkSet for Life by Scott Trench -- referenced for Joe's kids; biggerpockets.comBroke Millennial by Erin Lowry -- referenced for Joe's kids; brokemillennial.comWall Street Journal -- "Living With Your Parents Is No Longer Viewed as a Failure to Launch" by Rebecca Picciotto and Nicholas G.

This week on Born to Watch, it's time for our Air Force One Movie Review, the movie review podcast where we don't take the movies or ourselves too seriously. Whitey, G-Man, and Will the Worky climb aboard one of the most patriotic action films ever made, as Harrison Ford swaps his whip and fedora for the Oval Office and proves that sometimes the President really can save the day.Released in 1997 and directed by Wolfgang Petersen, Air Force One became one of the biggest blockbusters of the year, delivering a simple but irresistible premise. Terrorists hijack the President's plane, take his family hostage and quickly discover they've picked a fight with a Commander-in-Chief who just happens to be a Medal of Honour recipient.The boys dive into whether this 90s action favourite still holds up almost three decades later, or whether nostalgia is doing most of the heavy lifting.Harrison Ford once again proves why he remains one of Hollywood's greatest accidental heroes. Whether he's Han Solo, Indiana Jones, Dr Richard Kimble or President James Marshall, Ford has a knack for making ordinary people believe they can survive extraordinary situations. The team discusses why his grounded style works so well and why he's able to elevate even the most over-the-top action movies.Of course, no discussion of Air Force One would be complete without Gary Oldman. His performance as terrorist Ivan Korshunov is as intense as ever, even if the boys question whether one of cinema's greatest actors deserved a stronger script. Along the way, they celebrate Oldman's incredible career, from Leon and True Romance through to The Dark Knight, Darkest Hour and beyond.As always, the movie quickly becomes secondary to the ridiculous questions that only Born to Watch can ask.Just how many parachutes does Air Force One actually carry?Why is everyone smiling after jumping out of a plane somewhere over Kazakhstan?Does a 1997 satellite phone really keep working at 20,000 feet?Why is there an endless supply of drinks hidden in the cargo hold?And how exactly does one MiG fighter somehow survive an entire squadron attack just so the movie can have one more action sequence?The crew also takes aim at some wonderfully cheesy taglines, debates whether this is one of cinema's greatest presidential action thrillers, and wonders if Australians will ever truly understand America's obsession with the presidency.Elsewhere, G-Man delivers another outstanding Ordinary People segment, covering Harrison Ford, Gary Oldman, Glenn Close and a cast full of "that guy" character actors you've seen in dozens of movies. There's also a look back at the massive year that was 1997, including Titanic, Men in Black, The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Good Will Hunting.Hit, Sleeper or Dud returns with another trio of recommendations, including Wesley Snipes' underrated Murder at 1600, the Spanish original that inspired Vanilla Sky, and one of the greatest movie titles ever discovered in the Dud category.As always, expect plenty of laughs, terrible impressions, completely unnecessary tangents, and more than a few moments where the logic of Hollywood action films is left hanging out the side of the aircraft.So buckle up, secure your tray table, prepare for decompression, and remember one thing...Get off my podcast!If you enjoy what we do, we'd love your support. Subscribe wherever you listen, leave us a five-star review, share the episode with your mates, and follow Born to Watch across social media.

In Jesus' time, the Jews never had anything to do with the Samaritans. Yet, Jesus went out of His way to go to Samaria and meet this woman at this well. Was there any thing about her that He would want to seek her out? No. So, what was it? Join Pastor Dwayne as he discusses this "Ordinary Person" Jesus met and how her life was so changed that she became the first evangelist to the Samaritan people.

This week on the Sharing Grace Podcast, Pastor Brandon Rieb unpacks the powerful story of Saul's dramatic conversion in Acts 9:1-27 as part of our Ordinary People, Acts of God series. Together, we explore how Jesus transforms lives, why no one is beyond God's reach, and what we can learn from the faith of Ananias. If you've ever wondered whether God can redeem a difficult past or use ordinary people for extraordinary purposes, this conversation is a reminder that Jesus is still in the business of turning lives around, one 180 at a time.

The Interstellar (2014) Movie Review has finally landed on Born to Watch, the movie review podcast where we don't take ourselves or the movies too seriously, and this week Whitey, Damo and the G-Man strap themselves into the Endurance to tackle one of Christopher Nolan's most ambitious films.Love it, hate it, or spend three hours trying to figure out what a tesseract actually is, there's no denying that Interstellar is one of the most talked-about science fiction films ever made.Starring Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Michael Caine and an unforgettable surprise appearance from Matt Damon, Interstellar blends emotional family drama with mind-bending science in a way very few films have attempted before. Black holes, wormholes, time dilation, gravity, fifth dimensions and Hans Zimmer's thunderous score all combine to create a cinematic experience unlike anything else.The boys break down whether Christopher Nolan's space epic deserves its place among the greatest films ever made or asks just a little too much of its audience.Whitey shares why this remains one of the most emotional cinema experiences of his life and admits that even after multiple viewings, he still discovers new details every time. Damo dives deep into the science behind the film, the incredible soundtrack from Hans Zimmer and why this is a movie that rewards repeat watches. Meanwhile, G-Man experiences Interstellar for the very first time, proving that even a three-hour runtime can't stop Nolan from delivering one unforgettable ride.Of course, this wouldn't be Born to Watch without plenty of laughs along the way.The boys debate whether anyone actually understands the ending the first time around, discuss the emotional devastation of Cooper's relationship with Murph, marvel at Nolan's practical filmmaking techniques and question whether they'd leave their own family behind if they were humanity's last hope.There's plenty of appreciation for Matthew McConaughey's career-best performance, Anne Hathaway's emotional turn, Jessica Chastain's incredible work as the adult Murph, and Matt Damon's unforgettable heel turn, which completely changes the direction of the film.As always, the crew dive into the IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes scores, compares Interstellar against some of the greatest science fiction films ever made, revisits the incredible year that was 2014 in cinema and discusses Christopher Nolan's unbelievable run of films, including Batman Begins, The Prestige, The Dark Knight, Inception and Interstellar.Expect plenty of discussion around Hans Zimmer's legendary score, practical visual effects that still hold up over a decade later and why Interstellar continues to inspire audiences every time it's re-released on the biggest screens possible.Naturally, the famous Born to Watch segments return, including Overs and Unders, Critical Thinking, Ordinary People, Hit, Sleeper, Dud, The Snorbs Report, Quickfire Questions and plenty more movie nonsense that somehow still makes perfect sense.Whether you've watched Interstellar once or twenty times, or you're still trying to work out exactly what happened inside the tesseract, this episode is packed with laughs, passionate movie discussion and enough Christopher Nolan appreciation to make even Professor Brand proud.So grab your headphones, set your coordinates beyond Saturn and join the crew for one of the biggest movie discussions we've ever had.Join the conversation! What did you think of Interstellar? Is it Christopher Nolan's greatest achievement? Does Hans Zimmer deliver the greatest movie score of the modern era? Let us know your thoughts across our social channels, and don't forget to subscribe, leave a review and share Born to Watch with your fellow movie lovers.#Interstellar #ChristopherNolan #MatthewMcConaughey #HansZimmer #MovieReview #BornToWatchPodcast #SciFiMovies #FilmPodcast #Interstellar2014 #MoviePodcast

God takes ordinary people, fully determined to be fully surrendered to Him, to do extraordinary things. Join Pastor Dwayne today as he takes us to the miracle of the feeding of the 5000 men, not counting women and children, with the lunch of a lad.

Acts 9:36-42

How can everyday people make a significant impact? In this message, Dr. Mike Mowery describes how God can use ordinary people, no matter their abilities or background, in extraordinary ways when they embrace doing what is right, loving mercy, and walking humbly with God.

As we continue in Ordinary Time, Father John looks at todays passages to see how ordinary people are called to extraordinary things for Jesus.Download the service Bulletin here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XXL5JlNIBAls0AqGa9aiaVSMsr5jqcHQ/view?usp=drive_link

In this message from Acts 17–18, Pastor Jeremy unpacks Paul's evangelism in Athens and Corinth, anchoring everything around one central truth: the gospel must be faithfully communicated in every culture. In Athens, Paul doesn't wait for his traveling companions before acting — when the Holy Spirit spurs him, he moves. And rather than defaulting to Old Testament history as he would with Jewish audiences, Paul meets the Athenian philosophers right where they are, using their own altar "to the unknown God" as a springboard to proclaim the living God, the resurrection of Jesus, and the good news of the gospel. From there, Paul moves on to Corinth — a bustling, morally notorious trade city — where he meets Aquila and Priscilla, two ordinary tentmakers who become the backbone of his ministry. Pastor Jeremy draws out a powerful lesson from their example: you don't have to be a gifted speaker or a called pastor to play a significant role in God's kingdom. When ordinary people are faithful, God makes them extraordinary. Paul is eventually kicked out of the synagogue, threatened by Jewish leaders, and in need of God's protection — and God delivers on every front, even using the Roman official Gallio to shield Paul so he can spend 18 fruitful months in Corinth.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzrWW95S9yI Through the life of Joseph in Genesis 37, Pastor Benjamin Robinson reveals how ordinary people empowered by God’s love and vision can accomplish extraordinary things.

What happens when ordinary people come together around God's mission? In this message from The Great Commission, David Branch unpacks Matthew 28:16-20 to show how Jesus invites imperfect, everyday people into a purpose far bigger than themselves. From feelings of doubt and uncertainty to discovering joy and direction, this message reminds us that the only requirement to be used by God is simple availability. You will see how Jesus' authority, clear purpose, and constant presence free us from pressure and call us into faithful obedience right where we are. Be encouraged that you do not need to have it all together to make a difference and discover how your everyday life can become part of something that changes lives, families, and communities.

TODAY'S TREASURESoon afterward He went on through cities and villages, proclaiming and bringing the good news of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with Him, and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's household manager, and Susanna, and many others, who provided for them out of their means.Luke 8:1-3 ESVSend us a comment!Support the show

“Send Coach John a message”My connection with John O'Leary keeps getting stronger as I continue to see what a difference maker he is for people. A recent podcast from him had this description “It is rarely the brightest lights or biggest personalities that change the world most profoundly. Far more often and far more importantly, it's ordinary people quietly choosing to use whatever gifts they have to lift the lives around them.”  You can find the short episode HERE.  The short part I am sharing in today's show gets me thinking about saying YES to doing more to making a difference for others and myself. The world needs us to use our gifts for the people around us that need help in whatever way we can help them.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

For the next eighteen months, many of the citizens of Manbij carried out one of the most remarkable experiments in democracy in modern times.Days of Love and Rage (Viking, 2026) details the powerfully intimate narratives of the men and women who led this struggle, and who experienced the highs of camaraderie and the lows of betrayal.
