This week, Pastor Dennis walks through Acts 21:26-36. Paul is in Jerusalem, trying to prove to the Jewish Christians who are "zealous for the law" that he isn't trying to abolish the law. In fact, while Paul is actively observing and upholding the law he's captured and beaten in the temple by a crowd of "law-observing" Jews. We see in this passage what can happen when people believe their political desires align with God's will for a nation. We can embrace the false idea that "the ends justify the means," which is not a way of living or being we ever see Jesus embrace. We are oftentimes "zealous for Jesus" until He becomes an obstacle to our worldly pursuits. So, how then are we to live and act? This story begins helping us figure out what faithfulness to Jesus might look like in this fraught political and cultural moment in America?*This sermon includes an excerpt of Rage Against the Machine's song, "Killing in the Name," which is available on Apple Music here.

Politics and the pulpit: How white evangelicals' support of Trump is creating schisms in the churchCBS News, By Robert Costa, November 26, 2023https://www.cbsnews.com/news/politics-and-the-pulpit-how-white-evangelicals-support-of-trump-is-creating-schisms-in-the-church/ The Non-Prophets, Episode 22.49.2 featuring Kelley Laughlin, Richard Allen, Aaron Jenson and Jimmy Jr.

What if we told you that the man behind the iconic Tramp character was as dramatic off-screen as he was on? In this rich conversation with Scott Eyman, the biographer renowned for documenting Hollywood's Golden Age, we shed new light on Charlie Chaplin. We're not just revisiting Chaplin's slapstick brilliance, but venturing into the untold complexities of his exile, his fractious relationship with his brother Sidney, and his tangles with U.S. authorities. Scott Eyman, who opened up new dimensions on John Wayne, Cary Grant, and many others, brings us close to the lesser-known side of Chaplin. From his earliest days, reminiscent of a Dickensian novel, to his final years in the peaceful surroundings of Switzerland, Chaplin's life was anything but monochrome. This episode also swings the spotlight onto Chaplin's underestimated wife, Oona O'Neill, and how her life became irrevocably linked to the legend. So tune in for a nuanced, compelling dialogue that expands our understanding of Chaplin, while providing Eyman's unique take on the Hollywood of yesteryears. Ever wondered why Chaplin had to live his last years far from Hollywood? Or what happened to his coffin after his death? We touch on these mysteries and more, all while giving you a peek into Scott Eyman's upcoming projects and the art of biography writing itself. So grab your headphones and let us take you on a deep-dive into Hollywood's golden history, as seen through the life of one of its most celebrated and complicated icons.

Two of the big conflicts which define British politics- the culture war and the war for the Union, have fused together. The Scottish government's controversial Gender Recognition Bill, which would make it easier for people to legally change their gender and hailed by some as a great advance for trans rights, has been blocked, vetoed by the UK government. UK ministers claim it would impact UK wide equalities legislation. In this episode, Lewis takes you through both the substance of the issue at hand but also how it is just the latest staging post on a constitutional clash of wills between Westminster and Holyrood, and how both issues, already fraught and volatile, are becoming interwoven making both all the more unstable still.Socials: Georgia FoxwellVideo: Will Gibson-SmithPlanning: Alex BarnettProduction: Gabriel RadusEditor: Tom HughesFor exclusive daily videos from The News Agents visit Global Player: https://www.globalplayer.com/videos/brands/news-agents/the-news-agents/You can watch our interviews in full at https://www.globalplayer.com/videos/brands/news-agents/the-news-agents/The News Agents is a Global Player Original and a Persephonica Production.The News Agents is executive produced by Dino Sofos.

When people fast (for Lent for example), it's to deny ourselves of something or some-things that we like. Otherwise, what's the point, right? It's not a sacrifice if we deny ourselves of something we hate. This week's podcast is about a UCC church in Illinois. They decided for this Palm Sunday service that they would fast from "whiteness", and only play music composed by non-white composers - sacrificing music they love and usually play to celebrate music that they may not play as often. Well, the right wing media picked up on this and a firestorm ensued, calling the church "racist". But doesn't the term "racist" imply hate, or at least, dislike? If they were sacrificing "white" music in order to play "non-white" music for a day, doesn't it mean that they "like" and have comfort with what they were sacrificing, simply to celebrate the other? Where is the controversy here? UCC General Minister and President, the Rev. John C. Dorhauer, attended that Palm Sunday service, and offers his reflections on the "news" that certain right wing media created from it. Listen to the podcast...

Los Angeles-based artist Sandy Rodriguez grew up on the California-Mexico border, descended from three generations of Mexican painters. For In The Studio, reporter Laura Hubber follows Sandy as she creates large-scale map paintings, which tell the story of the current political moment, while harnessing methods and materials from indigenous Mexican culture. These maps explore issues of immigration – deportations, separated migrant children and protests – against the backdrop of California's majestic desert landscape. Sandy sees her role as ‘tlacuilo', a Nahua word meaning artist, scribe and sage. This is demonstrated in her unique practice as she creates the maps by collecting clippings of local plants, grinding and boiling them to make her own pigments, and painting onto traditional amate paper – all techniques that come from indigenous Mexican teachings.

Then, Mediaite's John Ziegler joins with the latest, and maybe slightly disheartening, news regarding the effort in California to recall the state's disaster of a governor, Gavin Newsom. Also, a deep dive into the mysterious history of "Jake from State Farm." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

2020 has been a very trying and unusual year. Escalating racial and social tensions has seen the rise of political awareness. "Woke" culture some would call it. Politics has no longer become something that you only talk about in the privacy of your own home but rather something very much in your face no matter where you look. Whether you're casually looking at your phone, channel surging on your tv, OR.....watching your favorite team play. You can not escape t and because of that fact, it has caused many casual sports fans to tune out or proclaim "Keep sports and politics separate!". Which admittedly is a fair plea. However, sports and politics are always destined to collide. Whether we're talking about Jack Johnson, Jackie Robinson, or Muhammed Ali. Or Billie Jean King, Tommie Smith and John Carlos, or Lebron James.  When issues arise that directly affect these athletes and their communities, there's always going to be a human response from them when put in the public eye and under a microscope.  This week we give you a few examples like these that have occurred through out history.

Alan Blinder was the Vice Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System under President Bill Clinton. In this episode, we seek to answer questions on the Fed’s unprecedented actions in light of the COVID-19 crisis and their long-term implications, from whether the injection of liquidity is propping up the financial markets in unhealthy ways, to whether the lack of coordination between fiscal and monetary policies could potentially exacerbate inequality like after the 2008 financial crisis… We say that the Fed’s actions have been unprecedented because it not only pledged to buy an unlimited quantity of government debt, but also decided to support even some of the riskiest corporate bonds; it lowered the target rate to 0-0.25 percent and announced in the June FOMC meeting that it’s not even “thinking about thinking about raising rates…” Is the Fed well-equipped to mitigate the economic effects of a pandemic? In the process, how can we manage the public expectation so that the Fed is not being given “mission impossibles?” The Fed’s “Main Street” lending to small/medium sized businesses has somewhat pushed the Fed to uncharted territory. While Prof. Blinder believes that the Fed is doing a better job of injecting money into Main Street than it did in 2008, he acknowledges that the Fed is primarily equipped to support large corporations, and as such may play a role in exacerbating inequality. He also argues that the financial system has grown too large, to the point where “the tail is wagging the dog.” An expert on the 2008 financial crisis, Prof. Blinder walks us through a series of critical comparisons. Today’s crisis is not one created by housing bubbles or elaborate financial instruments, so there generally seems to be less resentment among everyday Americans towards financial elites. But by stepping into junk bond territory, the Fed has effectively backstopped some of the biggest names in the hedge fund and private equity industry and some of the most aggressive speculators. Will there be a strong reaction against financial elites similar to the one we saw in 2008-09 with the Occupy Wall Street movement? A lot of studies have been done on how the 2008 financial crisis bailout exacerbated inequality in the U.S. One reason often given by economists and journalists is that the monetary policy response was adequate, but the fiscal stimulus didn’t follow suit. How do we ensure that the same doesn’t happen again? How can the Fed and the Treasury be smarter and attach more conditions to the loans and grants they make to large corporations? In a recent Wall Street Journal op-ed, Prof. Blinder dismissed concerns over the inflationary impact of the Fed’s radical monetary policies as “Scarlett O’Hara questions” about the long-term effects of the Fed’s monetary policy – specifically on the deficit and on inflation. He argues that these potential issues are not particularly pressing or worrisome and that these are questions to be dealt with after the coronavirus crisis is averted: “I’ll think about that tomorrow.” In this episode, we probe deeper into the reasoning behind this idea, and whether the fear of the deficit or inflation might undermine the economic recovery in the short and long run. Full bio: Alan Blinder is the Gordon S. Rentschler Memorial Professor of Economics and Public Affairs at Princeton University. He previously served as the Vice Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System under Bill Clinton, as well as on Clinton’s Council of Economic Advisors. Blinder is one of the leading voices in the discourse surrounding fiscal and monetary policy, and has written many best-selling books, including the latest “Advice and Dissent: Why America Suffers When Economics and Politics Collide.”

A business and its staff might have an ambition to take over the world and most would think that it was a fair ambition. For a country or political party to adopt a similar ambition, it is a very different story. What should companies and the people that work in them do when faced with political changes that don’t align with their values? The short answer for most of history has probably been - too little too late. Image credit: Hong Kong

Episode 9 is live and it is LIT!   Today, on the show - When Race and Politics Collide!  I am joined by my friend Dakarai Dorsett of 10thYearSeniors.com discussing the latest news in the 2016 Presidential Election, focused on Donald Trump's attempts to appeal to black voters.   We discuss the effectiveness of his messaging, how tone deaf the Republicans continue to be, and whether this latest message is actually meant for black people, or from someone else entirely.   We also raise the question about whether some of what Donald Trump says is true - is Hillary Clinton a bigot?  Well, no not that part.  But we tackle whether Hillary Clinton and the Democrats are genuinely courting black voters or if this is all just political opportunism that we can expect every four years!   PLUS, the second half of the show gets heavy with the controversy surrounding NFL Quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, Colin Kaepernick, and his recent protest during the playing of the national anthem.   The outrage for this protest has been exactly what we've come to expect, and we discuss the real issue behind this protest, and try to understand why the discussion always devolves so quickly.   Listen to hear my first EPIC RANT on this issue, so much that by the end, I was sweating and my hands were shaking, and I spilled ketchup all over my floor.   We also hearken back to the message of Frederick Douglass and his infamous "What to a slave is the 4th of July?" speech as we raise the question - why can't the country understand that the American experience is not the same for everyone.  This was a difficult, yet thoughtful discussion and I promise - you won't want to miss.  For further background on this topic, please check out this article by Bomani Jones on TheUndefeated.com.    TELL A FRIEND.
