The point of warfare is to kill and win, but the means to that end must be considered. The bloodlust of mankind is seldom, if ever, suppressed at the point of considering some advantage. Then again, warfare has been a history of unfair advantages through technological innovation hidden from the enemy. Tim and Andrew discuss some of those technological advances in history, our latest technological advance (drones), and the complexity of warfare. And, please, can we remember to pray for those who have to make the actual decisions about international relations and war?***Mentioned in the episode:Carnage and Culture: Landmark Battles in the Rise to Western Power by Victor Davis HansonFlannery O'Connor: "If other ages felt less, they saw more, even though they saw with the bind, prophetical, unsentimental eye of acceptance, which is to say, of faith. In the absence of this faith now, we govern by tenderness. It is a tenderness which, long since cut off from the person of Christ, is wrapped in theory. When tenderness is detached from the source of tenderness, its logical outcome is terror. It ends in forced-labor camps and in the fumes of the gas chamber" (from A Memoir of Mary Ann).Modern Times by Paul Johnson***Out of Our Minds Podcast: Pastors Who Say What They Think.

In this episode, we conclude season 16 by remembering with gratitude all the things God has done and is doing in our lives. We reflect on the importance of allowing our hearts to be drawn into beauty in the midst of both joy and sorrow. We also talk about maturity vs self reliance, allowing ourselves to be led by the Holy Spirit, and the relationship between trust and receptivity. Thank you dear friends for journeying with us this season! You will be in our prayers this summer and we are excited about what's in store this Fall!   Heather's One Thing - All to Bless You and Low (Live) by Kory Miller  Sister Miriam's One Thing - Magdala Grove Michelle's One Thing - I Believe in Love: A Personal Retreat Based on the Teaching of St. Thérèse of Lisieux by Fr. Jean Delaby   Journal Questions: Pause and take a moment to notice the surrounding beauty. What do I notice? How might the Lord be speaking to me through this beauty? Am I perplexed by the mystery of how God is working in my life? How might He be working all things for good in this season? How do I keep my union with the Lord? What is coming against that right now? In my suffering and darkness, where do I turn my face? Am I allowing myself to be led or am I trying to control? What is the Lord inviting me to do this summer?   Discussion Questions: Are you in a season where it is difficult to be grateful? Why or why not? In the midst of regular life, what is taking you away from union with God? How have you encountered the love of God in your life? God is always doing something new. How can you breathe in new hope? What are you looking forward to this summer?    Quote to Ponder: “To limit your desires and your hopes is to misunderstand God's infinite goodness!” (St. Therese of Lisieux) Scripture for Lectio: “Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles…” (Psalm 105:5)   Sponsor - House of Joppa: We're proud to be sponsored by House of Joppa, a family-owned Catholic shop where modern design meets timeless tradition.

Dr. Jacob L. Freedman on Let's Get Real with Coach Menachem, Sunday May18, 2025 # 231What's Really Going On in Our Minds? A Raw, Real, and Relevant Talk with a Psychiatrist

The internet is a balkanization of the populace: Everybody finds those they want to listen to. It is exceedingly difficult to teach somebody whose principal input in his life is through the internet. With a flesh-and-blood pastor, you at least can see his sins, his wife, and his children. Generally, with a pastor, you can't escape his bad smells, but on the internet, everything and everyone is perfect.The most difficult thing you do in ministry is to call your own congregation to repentance. It is easy to talk about the sins of people outside the church, but exceedingly costly to do so to those within the church. Your job is on the line. A godly church will love you for that. But there are a lot of bad congregations—those congregations that like their ears tickled. We should love our pastors when they make us angry with their helpfulness.Yet, if pastors will preach to their congregations, their congregations will lead the world. It is not until we are challenged to submit to Scripture ourselves that we will be salt and light in the world. If there is going to be a Biblical church, the most important thing to do is to keep its discipline vivified. But we'd much rather spend our time fighting people who are opposed to Christianity. NETTR protects the "constituents," and casts stones at the world.***Mentioned in the episode...From Melville's Moby Dick, chapter 8, "The Pulpit": "What could be more full of meaning?- for the pulpit is ever this earth's foremost part; all the rest comes in its rear; the pulpit leads the world. From thence it is the storm of God's quick wrath is first descried, and the bow must bear the earliest brunt. From thence it is the God of breezes fair or foul is first invoked for favorable winds. Yes, the world's a ship on its passage out, and not a voyage complete; and the pulpit is its prow."Fundamentalism and American Culture by George MarsdenC.S. Lewis, from The Last Battle: "By mixing a little truth with it, they had made their lie far stronger."Robert Owen: "All the world is queer, save thee and me, and even thou art a little queer."***Out of Our Minds Podcast: Pastors Who Say What They Think.

Not All Tesla is Tesla. What Tesla means to people has shifted drastically. It's a shibboleth in our culture. From the darling of the green left to the “Swasticar,” you're now considered a villain if you drive a Tesla, particularly a Cybertruck. We don't understand Elon Musk until we get a grip on South Africa and her unapologetic males. South Africans have not been run through the American/European "plastic extruder" that removes manhood from them. We as a nation have lost manhood. South African males typically have this attitude: there is absolutely nothing that they can't do. It's an endearing trait. There are many things you can say about Elon, but he does demonstrate irrefragable masculinity. Intrinsic to that trait is a can-do positive confidence. There is an optimism about him that causes him in most things to come through.Purchasing a Tesla used to be a way of widening your phylacteries. It was a symbol of progressive ideology. Now it is a right-wing middle finger. Being a Tesla owner is a legitimate risk to your safety. It is increasingly possible that the left is going to lose their mind so badly that they are going to create a revolution. What is going to happen? Will the center hold? And then there is the woke right and their millenarian crusader vengeance fantasies.There is a fundamental truth about violence: it is like fire. Once you start it, you can't control it.***Mentioned in the show: the evolving simplicity of SpaceX's Raptor engine.This video covers his interview at Satellite 2020:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iD0bcsAXaic***Out of Our Minds Podcast: Pastors Who Say What They Think.

What is the origin of the "devil's advocate"? What are the benefits of assigning someone to that role? It has been noted in Scottish Presbyterian polity that a unanimous decision has not been sufficiently debated. In other words, either the issue was trivial, the presbyters were apathetic, or no one stepped up to elevate the debate by serving as the devil's advocate. Tim and Andrew encourage listeners to learn how to think, not just what to think. We must guide our children to know how to argue respectfully, anticipate objections, understand their opponents' arguments, and recognize and resist groupthink. Tim draws on his experience as the moderator of a church session and discusses how these principles come into play during elder board meetings. Here's something worth remembering when you are tempted to dismiss Robert's Rules of Order: procedural rules for assembly arguments exist to protect the minority's voice and the majority's will.***Out of Our Minds Podcast: Pastors Who Say What They Think.

In the third podcast of this series, “Brain Rot: What Our Screen Are Doing to Our Minds,” host Dr. Karyne Messina, psychologist, psychoanalyst and author talked about the problems that can emerge in Erik Erikson's Identity versus Identity Diffusion stage of development along with Dr. Harry Gill, a psychiatrist who has a PhD in neuroscience. The two mental health professionals discussed major difficulties they see in their young patients when they are exposed to too much screen time. For one thing, excessive screen time during this stage of development can have significant effects on pruning which leads to structural changes in the brain. This is a crucial process in adolescent brain development that involves the elimination of unnecessary neural connections to enhance efficiency while optimizing brain functioning. They also focused on the impact of social media on the formation of identity, a critical part of healthy personality development. Drs. Messina and Gill shared the challenges young people have navigating in the digital age, which can include exposure to people who are inauthentic on social media, role confusion, and addiction to video games. They emphasized the importance of limiting screen time, encouraging adolescents to have real-life experiences versus having mainly on-line relationships while fostering healthy habits to support brain development and overall well-being during this crucial stage of development. Dr. Messina highlighted the importance of solidifying one's identity during adolescence or early adulthood, adding that this task can be difficult to achieve later in life if it isn't developed when searching for a sense of self is a central task of development. Dr. Gill talked about ways parents can mitigate too much screen time. He suggested that they limit the time their children have access to their screens. He also believes that adolescents should have chores every day which can give them a sense of accomplishment. Watching movies and shows on television as a family was another suggestion he made. He believes that time spent discussing what everyone has seen can provide a sense of understanding that adolescents may not have while fostering a sense of community within the family.

Rev. Dr. Jürgen Von Hagen joined Tim and Andrew to discuss European culture and international relations. Last week, US Vice President Vance gave a speech at the Munich Security Conference—a meeting of top European military leaders, diplomats, and government officials. Vance's speech was a shock to many Germans (and the broader European community) because they expected him to speak about the conflict in Ukraine. Instead, Vance questioned whether the shared values that forged the NATO alliance still exist between the US and the EU. What were those shared values that are under attack in European nations? Freedom of speech, respect of voters, the voice of the minority, and religious freedom. In the UK, as an example, a man was recently arrested in an "exclusionary zone" outside an abortion clinic for praying, silently. From there, the conversation moves to a discussion of reforms in government, bureaucracy, DOGE, Trump, Musk...This is the link to JD Vance's speech in Munichhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCOsgfINdKgHere is the immediate reply by Germany's defense minister, Boris Pistoriushttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8RTVnfb9Y8This is Scholz' speech yesterday,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDaCOMy1fp4This is Scholz in the interview with Economist editor Beddoeshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XODqeE41mYU***Out of Our Minds Podcast: Pastors Who Say What They Think.

“Brain Rot,” the 2024 Oxford word of the year captures the essence of our new podcast that is being created as a special series on the New Books Network (NBN). The full title is “Brain Rot: What Our Screens Are Doing to Our Minds.” In this second podcast Dr. Karyne Messina, a psychologist, psychoanalyst, author and NBN host discusses the problems the emerge when children watch screens and digital devices too much. Dr. Messina talked about this topic with Dr. Harry Gill, a well-known psychiatrist who also has a PhD. in neuroscience. In this episode the focus was on Erik Eriksson's 5th stage of development, Industry versus Inferiority. They discussed one of the greatest difficulties they see in their young patients who contend with way too much screen time. Dr. Gill talked about white matter in the brain where research has shown that children who spend more than the recommended amount of screen time exhibit lower levels of white matter development. In children exposed to excessive screen time, the white matter tracts supporting language, literacy, and cognitive skills show lower microstructural integrity. This means the white matter is less organized and structurally developed, potentially leading to slower and less efficient neural transmission. The impact on white matter development can have far-reaching consequences. White matter acts like cables, connecting various brain regions and is crucial for efficient brain functioning. Dr. Gill also talked about synaptic pruning and the implications that excessive screen time can interfere with this process. He explained that synaptic pruning is the process by which the brain eliminates unnecessary or underused synaptic connections, optimizing neural networks and improving the efficiency of brain function. Screen time, especially when it displaces other important developmental activities, may interfere with the experiences necessary for proper pruning. Dr. Messina focused on the task that is essential to acquire during the 5th phase of Eriksson's development stage which is competence. It go hand-in-hand with acquiring self-esteem. If these qualities are not developed in childhood, a person can be effected in negative ways throughout life. Learn more about your ad choices.

He explained that synaptic pruning is the process by which the brain eliminates unnecessary or underused synaptic connections, optimizing neural networks and improving the efficiency of brain function. Screen time, especially when it displaces other important developmental activities, may interfere with the experiences necessary for proper pruning. Dr. Messina focused on the task that is essential to acquire during the 5th phase of Eriksson's development stage which is competence. It go hand-in-hand with acquiring self-esteem. If these qualities are not developed in childhood, a person can be effected in negative ways throughout life. Learn more about your ad choices.

Los Angeles burns and fire policy in California is exposed. Accountability and reformation ought to come. What can we learn about church reform from wildfires and fire policy?

Today We're Tackling a Question That's Probably Crossed All of Our Minds at Some Point: Can You Really Retire in Three Years or Less? Now, I Know It Sounds Kind of Crazy, but for Some Folks, It's Totally Doable.

In this episode of the TWC Talks Podcast, Mike Walker delves into the crucial topic of personal accountability with Taylor Welch. Taylor argues that personal accountability is the core operating system that shapes our thoughts, actions, and results. He identifies a common 'mental bug' where individuals justify their failures and lower their standards instead of facing challenges head-on.Taylor shares his own struggles and emphasizes the importance of training the mind to embrace challenges rather than avoid them, drawing parallels to physical training in martial arts. He concludes by encouraging listeners to prepare for the upcoming year by setting goals and being willing to pay the psychological costs necessary to achieve them.Enjoy the episode and check the links below for more info & ResourcesGet an inside look at how to get involved with The Wealthy Consultanthttps://wealthyconsultant.com/Our Monthly Printed Memos - Free Trialhttps://consultingmemo.com/optin-568134011666363883437See our Portfolio of Brands https://welchequities.com/OVERVIEW: (00:05) Importance of Personal Accountability(00:27) The Bug in Our Minds(01:13) The Gift of Awareness(02:15) Justifications and Excuses(05:45) Training the Mind(08:21) The Grind and Resilience(12:10) Setting Goals for 2025(13:42) Final Thoughts

The most powerful man today is the man who has the best case for being a victim. Young men intuitively know this reality and are thereby inclined to victimhood. In every narrative about their lives, they portray themselves as victims. Conversely, Real manhood is about taking responsibility and being an agent—not a perpetual victim.On the other hand, victimhood is not fake news. Some true victims need to unburden themselves to trusted and sympathetic church authorities. Real victims do not relentlessly broadcast their abuse—to do so would betray its seriousness. And, what's your take on C.S. Lewis's That Hideous Strength? Tim and Andrew share their contrary views.***Out of Our Minds Podcast: Pastors Who Say What They Think.

From Pulitzer Center: “Germans Thought They Were Immune to Nationalism After Confronting Their Nazi Past. They Were Wrong”Tim Bayly interviews Jürgen von Hagen on Christian nationalism, exploring its historical roots within the Lutheran Church during the Nazi regime. They discuss Toby Von Hagen's (Jürgen's son) thesis on the church's intertwining of theology and national identity, its subsequent alignment with nationalism, and the dangers of merging faith with political aspirations. The conversation highlights parallels with contemporary American Christian Nationalism and critiques the impact of political nationalism on faith and doctrine. Jürgen reflects on historical figures like Martin Niemöller and the complexities of academic integrity in the face of political correctness. They conclude by sharing personal insights about faith in relation to professional life and current moral dilemmas.Chapters0:05 Toby's Thesis2:15 Church and State Dynamics8:31 The American Perspective11:45 The Rise of Christian Nationalism16:18 The Barman Declaration20:50 The World Economic Summit23:52 Experts and Academics30:28 Reflections on the Third Reich36:12 The Role of the Church40:49 Experiences in Leadership43:16 Vice Rector Responsibilities48:11 Diversity in Universities50:22 Journey to Pastoral Leadership57:13 Relationships and Reconciliation1:01:30 Future Aspirations and Service1:03:40 Final Thoughts and FriendshipTagsTim Bayly, Juergen Von Hagen, Christian nationalism, Lutheran Church, Nazi regime, theology, national identity, academic integrity, Martin Niemöller, political correctness, faith, professional life***Out of Our Minds Podcast: Pastors Who Say What They Think.

Pastors Tim and Juergen discuss the latter's education in Germany and his move to the United States to teach economics at Indiana University's (now named) Kelley School of Business. Juergen recounts how he and his wife, Ilsa, came to faith through the witness and compassion of members of Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church (PCA). The discussion then turns to the discipline of economics, Juergen's working relationships with various financial institutions, the fiscal crises of European nations, the harm done to Russia by American economists, and Juergen's early experiences with online education at IU—all back in the nineties.  Today, there is a near-monopoly of online education for earning an MBA at Kelley. Tim and Juegen discuss the difference between in-person and online education for undergrad as opposed to grad students, the utility of community colleges, the shrinking enrollment at IU caused by demographics and the change in our foreign relations with China, and the growing proportion of women (as opposed to men) enrolled in institutions of higher education and professional schools today. They end with a lengthy discussion of things parents and their sons and daughters should consider in choosing a college, ending with the limitations and benefits of small and big, and Christian and secular, colleges and universities. ***Out of Our Minds Podcast: Pastors Who Say What They Think.

Around 1980, people around the world began speaking of "human flourishing." In 2000, the frequency of the phrase's use in media flourished exponentially. Be suspicious of new words and phrases taking the world by storm. As Chesterton said, before you take a fence down you must determine why it was erected in the first place. New words and phrases often arise to replace and relegate truths that are no longer deemed to be kind or helpful.***We mention Tim Keller's statement about “human flourishing."We also mention Tim Keller's response to Covenant Theological Seminary students' questioning whether he preaches against homosexuality.Andrew mentions a section of The Screwtape Letters.***Out of Our Minds Podcast: Pastors Who Say What They Think.

When evangelical christians were asked if everyone born is innocent in the eyes of God, 65% said, "yes". 48% of evangelicals agreed that God learns and adapts to different circumstances, while a staggering 43% agreed that Jesus was a great teacher, but he was not God. With the Bible being more accessible than ever, research shows that Biblical literacy is at an all time low. In today's conversation, you'll hear Jen Wilkin explain how the church can change that! Jen Wilkin is a Bible teacher from Dallas, Texas. An advocate for Bible literacy, she has organized and led studies for women in homes, churches, and parachurch contexts. She as authored multiple Bible studies and books, including the bestseller, "Women of the Word: How to Study the Bible iwth Both Our Hearts and Our Minds.".

We have failed to teach our children and our culture the creation mandates: "God blessed them; and God said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth'" (Gen. 1:28).

In this episode, Pastor Tim Bayly is joined by his son, Joseph (Senior Pastor at Christ Church in Cincinnati), and son-in-law, Lucas Weeks (College and Administrative Pastor at Trinity Reformed Church in Bloomington, IN) to discuss parenting.We often think that our parenting is a failure if we have to resort to authority. That attitude is foolishness and an abandonment of God's rules for parenting. Our fears and modern psychologists have trained us to believe that authority is antithetical to having your child's heart. We must be reminded that if we intend to hold on to our children, obedience to God is the only way. No one would deny that mothers and fathers have duties regarding their children, but many are willing to dispute that children have duties regarding their parents. Parents ought to serve and love their children, but also children ought to serve and love their parents. ***Mentions during the show:First, the podcast starts out talking about this book: Hold On to Your Kids: Why Parents Need to Matter More Than Peersby Gordon Neufeld and Gabor MatéSecond, we mention this book:Shepherding a Child's Heartby Ted TrippThird, I read from this book:The Thing (the chapter I read from is titled, “The Drift from Domesticity”)by G.

History changes very quickly. Read the book of Esther. We've witnessed numerous surprising and sobering changes in the past two weeks.The performance of President Biden during the debate makes us question who allowed for (or orchestrated) such a sad spectacle. What if an assassin's bullet had killed former President Trump? What effect will this event have on his soul?Mentioned in the episode: Donald Trump was being interviewed, and asked what he thought about death—whether he was worried about it—he responded: “No. I'm fatalistic and I protect myself as well as anybody can. I prepare for things. But ultimately we all end up going. No. I don't believe in reincarnation, heaven, or hell—but we go someplace. Do you know, I cannot, for the life of me, figure out where.” (Chicago Tribune, March 12, 1989, page 10, Section 5)***Out of Our Minds Podcast: Pastors Who Say What They Think.

It must be understood that the Christian faith is never owned by any King or any party. A constant temptation of Christians is to be programmed by personalities. Rather than taking cheap, easy, stupid, and faithless shortcuts, we ought to be taught how to think. Primarily and tragically, we forget the doctrine of the sinfulness of all men (even our heroes) and the doctrine of the Fall. Learn in this episode what it means to think as a Christian, not as a partisan. The episode ends with a brief return to answer a question from a previous episode on money.Harry Blamires' The Christian Mind: How Should A Christian Think?***Out of Our Minds Podcast: Pastors Who Say What They Think.

Curious about Outrage Addiction? Outrage addiction is a behavioral pattern where individuals repeatedly seek out and engage in anger-inducing content or situations, often through social media, news, or personal interactions. This behavior can create a cycle of anger and indignation that becomes addictive due to the brain's dopamine response to these emotional stimuli. Over time, this addiction can lead to increased stress, anxiety, and a sense of isolation, negatively impacting personal well-being and community dynamics.

The people of God know how to justify generosity toward themselves and stinginess toward the church and her shepherds. The Lord rebukes His people for such sin through the prophet Haggai: "Then the word of the LORD came by Haggai the prophet, saying, 'Is it time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses while this house lies desolate?'" (Haggai 1:3-4) On the other hand, there are hucksters in church leadership who love money more than they love the sheep. They refuse to shepherd for fear the tithes and offerings will dwindle. Pastor Tim & Andrew Henry discuss money at church and aim pastors and sheep toward faithfulness. Out of Our Minds Podcast: Pastors Who Say What They Think.

Parachurch ministries, political causes, and entrepreneurial enterprises seduce good men away from giving their lives to the Church and her pastoral work. How do we attract young men to the work of the Church during the formative years of their lives? College professors successfully shape their students, often in perverse ways.

Acceptance of this idea is as impactful as accepting the multiplicty of the mind (until 16 minutes) - Emmanual Swendenborg's influence (16 min) - External Energies (Bob's preferred term to critters or unattached burdens) (20 min) - Spirit Guides (31 min) - Past Lives (think Legacy Burdens) (37) - His many upcoming book projects, and his heart to lessen Human Suffering (43) - Spiritual Writing and the work of Chico Xavier (45) - UBU and Non violent communication- upcoming workshops (52) ---- Check out Bob's website: IFS Consultant - Teacher and Author - Robert Falconer Sign up for the upcoming Master class with IFSCA on 2.16.24: IFS and Past Lives Tickets in Online, ON, Canada (ticketleap.com) ----------- Visual Clips of some podcast episodes are available on The One Inside's YouTube channel.

Kara and Scott discuss the Jann Wenner controversy, and the new management term "feedforward." And as the "summer of strikes" marches into the fall, they talk about the State of the Unions.
